Every Word Matters - 11/13/13
Every word should matter, but in today's media frenzy the most important policymakers' words often get lost or distorted. Here's our daily, unfiltered roundup of the most important tweets by those shaping policy today, straight from them in 140 characters or less. Today's topic is #HR3350 - A bill designed to ensure that President Obama's promise that the American people can keep their plan is kept.

As I'm sitting here watching this BCS National Championship game, I'm marveling at Tim Tebow. Now, I know that he is not the ideal NFL quarterback. He is often criticized for his mechanics, throwing motion, etc. But really, this kid is one of the more passionate and hardworking athletes out there.
If he falls in the draft, which I think he might, we could have a shot at him. He'd be happy to come here and have a chance to play QB at the pro level, something not everyone would be willing to give him. It just seems that with a guy as hard-working as Tebow, the chance might be worth taking. He would also be an asset because of the leadership he would bring to our offense.
What do you all think?

Number of ratings 20 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
This man cannot lecture at all. His lectures are just him babbling forever about things have nothing to do with anything and the topic is already really boring. He also makes you take the trips to the museum and you have to do a bunch of outside projects. Surprisingly, he's a really easy grader. Just try to stay awake, I dare you.
I had Dr. Lessoff last spring for HIS 322. He is a very well informed on his topic areas and tries to keep class interesting even if some of the material is dry. A very approachable guy and fair grader. Attendance wasn't mandatory but you need to attend to get the information needed to get a good grade.
Nice guy and extremely helpful but TERRIBLY BORING CLASS. You get through one powerpoint slide in 50 minutes and he doesn't even talk about it. He goes on tangents and rambles on about stuff that doesn't even matter. I stopped taking notes 2 weeks into the semester.
Dr. Lessoff is a great professor. He is extremely helpful and is genuinely interested in his students. His lectures do have a tendency to get a little scatterbrained, but he makes up for it with the fact that he know so much about what he teaches. If you ever need help on a project he is more than willing to put in the time to help.
The class was pretty interesting. Mr. Lessoff has a lot of good things to say, but tends to ramble. As far as grading is concerned, don't pay much attention to his power points. The study guides he gives are basically the test itself- very similar to each other. Take advantage of the extra credit opportunities on his website.
This was a very boring class. He rambles on with his lectures. I had two major tests and two papers, with a quiz almost every Friday over his stupid book that he wrote.
Dr. Lessoff is an awesome professor, even though his lectures are very dry and long. You can't help but like the guy and the class was an interesting enough topic. He liked to take us on field trips, which was good for a change of scenery. I would recommend him. He is a fair grader.
Had him last semester & thought he was very easy. Gives study guides for tests and pretty much gives you the answers for each thing on the SG if you ask him. Gives loads of EC and most of the material for quizzes and tests are from the book NOT lecture. Weekly quizzes are simple and EC makes up for all of them if you do it!
really nice guy, kind of boring though. quizzes every week on the readings, but they are super easy. you don't really have to pay attention to the lectures and can still pull a B
EWWW this class sucks, hes realllly boring and his lectues suck
History 136
He know the course information but he has a hard time putting it in to and orginized lecture, he often went on tangents during class and then tried to cram the 50 min lecture in to the last 15 min of class. because of this i highly recomend that you make sure you READ THE BOOK.
Very nice guy. Quite helpful and friendly. Class isn't too hard, but his notes prove to be sort of pointless. Is very willing to help students grasp the material better. He's obviously very smart, but can have trouble simplifying it. I recommend him.
Cool guy, strong Boston accent.
great guy! He can be boring, but it is still fun. Knows his stuff and will do his best to make sure you learn the material. Will even take time OUT OF CLASS to meet with entire class to go over test material if needed. Great guy! Get HIM
His lectures were boring. He knows his stuff, but he has trouble puting his thoughts together. Said um, uh, and and too many times.
Very boring lectures. Not afraid to tell you that you are wrong. A lot of reading required. Notes galore, but not worth much.
his 131
I've never heard some one talk so much with out saying anything at all.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — Get involved
with 'Reads'
After a long nomination period and months more of book discussions, library officials have announced the selected work for this year's Howard County Reads program.
The Kokomo-Howard County Public Library and Greentown Public Library are encouraging county residents to check out a copy of "Out of the Easy," Ruta Sepetys' novel about a prostitute's daughter, Josie, who longs to leave New Orleans for Smith College but gets entangled in a murder investigation.
A New York Times book review from February said Sepetys based her brothel proprietor Willie Woodley on Norma Wallace, "the last great madam of the French Quarter." Wallace, the Times said, was "an underworld force in New Orleans for more than four decades."
Sepetys' debut novel, "Between Shades of Gray," also was among the 15 novels from which "Out of the Easy" was chosen. Readers might want to give that one a try, as well.
Events associated with Howard County Reads, such as a trip to New Orleans and a murder mystery fundraiser, still are in the planning stages. Library officials expect to finalize some of them by August.
Community-building will be a key component. Howard County Reads was introduced in 2004. Its goal: to cultivate a love of reading and to promote a sense of community.
Several book discussions will be scheduled.
Get involved in this community activity; it's the most important part of Howard County Reads. You can join one of the program's book discussions or form your own among friends and co-workers. Howard County Reads even will provide your group a discussion leader.
If you want to host a book discussion, let organizers know by calling 765-454-4710 or emailing email@example.com. Call Trisha Shively at 765-457-3242 or Margi Bontrager at 765-628-3534 if you have questions.
And regularly check howardcountyreads.org after Aug. 1 for a schedule of events.

No doubt you're still reeling from the Spoby-fied season finale of Pretty Little Liars—and just when you thought your TV-psyche was gonna get a couple months off from their crazy twists and turns, there's this: The show is prepping a spin-off.
It's called Ravenswood, and it's supposed to be set in a town not far from where PLL takes place. Apparently, poor Ravenswood has labored under a curse for years, and when the locals start to wise up to everything being connected, they band together to try to debunk and destroy the curse—before it's too late. (Obviously, before it's too late. In things like this people are never all, Well, we can't forget we've got our normal work and PTA scheds, so let's just carve out a few hours a week to work on this.)
The show will debut in October, following PLL's Halloween episode (yep, it's been safely renewed for season five, which is a good thing considering all those end-of-season jolts).
No word on casting yet...what young actors and actresses would you love to see get their creepy on? A few I feel like are ready for their Ravenswood close-up:
Either Florrick kid. I need more Makenzie Vega and Zach Gilford than The Good Wife can give me.
Tristan Wilds. With 90210 winding down, the timing is perfect for a move to spooky PA, and I feel Tristan would be equally adept at fighting supernatural creatures and lightening the mood.
Jake Silbermann. You might not know this guy yet (he's making his Broadway debut this spring in the play The Assembled Parties), but if he doesn't look ABC-Family-drama perfect, I don't know who does.
Sofia Black-D'Elia. Loved her on Skins. Loved her in Gossip Girl. Love her in her major starring role as queen of my "haircut pictures" folder. This girl is the real deal.
Keke Palmer. Um, paging the Bee—Akeelah is all grown up. This publicity shot is out of control! If the little town of Ravenswood needs a dose of high-fierceness, I think they know where to find it.
For more PLL, be sure to read up on the season finale and check out our exclusive peek behind the scenes with Janel Parrish.

Henderson: Big issues -- Who, when?
However, if the 3-4 Buffaloes lay down against 11th-ranked Oklahoma on Saturday night, Hawkins could be gone next week.
That will bring us to the successor search, which is going on now. I'm told four people are atop the target list: Bill McCartney, Alabama offensive coordinator Jim McElwain, Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and LSU coach Les Miles.
Of the the four choices, Gus Malzahn stands out the most. Have you guys seen Oregon's offense this year and the numbers they're putting up in our future conference? That's a good resemblance as to what Gus Malzahn's offenses do. I know he has no head coaching experience at the collegiate level, but the guy has worked at 3 different high-profile programs like Arkansas, Tulsa, and Auburn and has coached alongside some of the great. And recruiting? The guy helped reel in one of Auburn's greatest recruiting classes in their long and storied program -- and they're on track to have yet another great class again this year! So obviously he knows how to recruit! In addition, he was one of the best high school coaches in the state of Arkansas, which is what got him noticed, and how he managed to upgrade to the collegiate level. The guy is a GENIUS!
We all know he runs one of the most complex offensive schemes in the country, and it's his own brand. No other teams run his exact offensive scheme. It's phenomenal to watch, and if you haven't seen it yet, you can catch a sneak peek during Auburn's game tomorrow evening, prior to our game coming on 2 hours later.
Now onto the results... in his very first season at Arkansas (which also happened to be his very first season coaching at the collegiate level), his offense led Arkansas to their first conference championship game in years, and they kept it close with the Florida Gators (who would go on to win the NC that year) for most of the game, only losing by 10 points. You might say it was due to the 2 NFL caliber running backs they had. But just keep in mind, they played in 2005 and 2007 as well, yet didn't lead their team to anything significant in those other two seasons without Malzahn.
In 2007, he took over at Tulsa as their offensive coordinator, and the year prior to that, their offense finished the season ranked 24th, overall. In his very first year, he propelled them to the number 1 overall offensive ranking. And in year 2, there was no drop off either as they finished number 1 yet again!
In 2009, he took over as Auburn's offensive coordinator. Prior to his arrival, Auburn's offense was simply put: abysmal. They finished 97th, overall, in 2007, and 104th, overall, in 2008. In his very first year at Auburn, he propelled their offense to 16th OVERALL, in a defensive-heavy conference. I should also note his offense scored more points (21) against the national champions that year, Alabama, than any other SEC team did that year. And remember Alabama had one of the best defenses last year. Not to mention he turned one of the worst QBs in the SEC in 2008 (Chris Todd) into a machine in 2009. This year, his offense is currently ranked 10th, but should be top 5 (my guess would be 2) by the season's end. And also, Auburn is ranked FIRST this year and on track to win a national championship...
If he can put up those kind of numbers in a self-proclaimed defensive conference, imagine what he could do for us in the Pac-10/12! The guy has had enough experience to be a head coach, and if he could find a Will Muschamp type defensive coordinator, we'd be unstoppable.... JUST LIKE OREGON! Plus, he's a midwest guy and there's no doubt he's quite possibly the hottest assistant coach in the country right now! I'd much rather us try out luck with him, before someone else snatches him up, because I'm willing to bet he'll be a successful head coach here soon.
So what do you guys think? Should we push for Malzahn? Of all the candidates on that list, I really think he's the best choice. McCartney was a great coach, and I appreciate what he was able to do for us, but I think he'd be way past his prime, similar to Bobby Bowden in his late years. Jim McElwain at Alabama's only advantage is the fact that he coached under Nick Saban, but other than that, I'd much rather have Malzahn if we decide to hire an OC. And Les Miles would be a waste of time. He isn't leaving LSU for us... heck, he wouldn't leave them for his alma mater, Michigan.
So what say ye? How does Malzahn sound? I think he'd be the perfect fit for us!! Mike Bohn, this is your time to shine!!

Now hear me out, i know Jerry Hughes has reinvented himself here in Buffalo and tallied 10 sacks this season but that was in Mike Pettine's defense and there's no guarantee that Schwartz will find a way to maximize every players potential even if he does run a fairly flexible scheme. i'm not at all saying that hughes can't do again under Schwartz what he did under Pettine but the Bills decision makers would in my opinion be foolish if they didn't also consider the possibility that either this season was a flash in the pan for Hughes or that he simply won't be an ideal fit for what Schwartz will do. the odds are likely the Bills will keep Hughes around to see what he can do under Schwartz then if he still looks good they'll start talking about an extension or possibly tag him if talks stall. Hughes this season probably increased in many a football managers estimations and being that good pass rushers don't grow on trees i'm sure the bills would be able to get something in return if they put him on the block, also i'm well aware that trading him would leave the Bills needing to find a pass rusher but trading him is predicated on the idea that the bills decide he doesn't fit and that Hughes is compliant in the trade.
what could the Bills get in return? well obviously as Hughes has only one year left on his rookie deal any team trading for him is probably gonna want to extend his contract and they would want that extension worked out before making the trade, assuming an extension is agreed upon i think at least a second or third round pick and change would be fair compensation. if such a deal gets done before the draft that pick might be spent on upgrading the Bills O-line, linebackers or it could be used in a trade to allow the Bills to move around the board. the Bills could also swap player for player and would be entitled to a decent starter in return for Hughes, How does a starting right tackle or left guard sound? value is a fleeting thing in this league and if the Bills decide that Hughes will be an awkward fit under Schwartz then i personally think the smart thing to do would be to capitalize on his current value and either get some draft picks or get a player who they know for sure they can use.

Do You Wear Jewelry When You Work Out?
by POPSUGAR Fitness 55 Reactions 0 Shares Print
I feel my wedding rings get a nice cleaning when I wear them while swimming laps, but I have a friend who fears that her rings will slip off in the pool. When it comes to other jewelry though, I like to have my ears, wrists (except for my heart rate monitor), and neck clear since I get hot and sweaty. Not only that, but things dangling around me while trying to work out would be so annoying. What about you . . .
glitter-junkie 6 years
I went to Oz with my family and picked out an opal and my dad had made it into a ring when I was 17 - I haven't taken it off (apart from to change fingers, I like to move it around) since. When I jog I take my watch too.
carbizkate 6 years
Usually the only jewelry I wear is my wedding and engagement ring and stud earrings, so I typically don't bother taking it off for workouts. If I happen to be wearing a necklace or bracelet (which is very rare) I usually take it off.

wedding band and engagement rings and I'll occasionally leave my earrings on if they are small studs or pearls. Oh, and I can't workout with my watch either!

The Salvation Army of Winnebago County has announced the results of its annual Red Kettle drive.
The organization exceeded its 2012 Red Kettle goal of $200,000 with a total of $222,916.12 donated at kettle sites. However, with the high number of donations at kettle sites, donations by mail were down last year, leaving the Salvation Army with a shortfall of $21,663 in that area.
The Salvation Army was also able to help families around the community have a happy holiday thanks to the Food for the Needy Drive. Over 3,100 households received Christmas food boxes from the organization and the money raised will also help keep the Army's Food Pantry stocked for several months.
In addition, over 4,200 kids benefited from the 12 Hours of Salvation Toy Drive and The Salvation Army Giving Tree, with over 11,600 toys and stocking stuffers distributed to area children.

By Ed Runyan
Because of her job for the past 10 years, Andrea Paventi closely watches the way courts in Mahoning and Trumbull counties deal with people who drive while intoxicated.
She gives most of the courts a failing grade based on statistics showing that barely half of the people charged with operating a motor vehicle impaired end up with an OVI conviction.
Paventi, director of the Mahoning County TASC [Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime], a nonprofit organization that tracks and tests Mahoning County OVI offenders and runs an OVI school, said the two counties actually have a "bad reputation" in some circles for low OVI conviction rates.
"Attorneys have said this same thing doesn't happen in Columbus or other areas of the state. It's unique to this area," Paventi said.
The horrific crash last week in Newton Township that killed a Newton Falls couple and seriously injured the other driver may illustrate the problem with how repeat OVI offenders are treated, Paventi said.
The couple, Jamie Danes, 37, and his wife, Emily, 29, were headed home from Niles, where they celebrated their wedding anniversary with dinner and a movie, when they were struck head-on by Paul Wodianka, 42, of Diamond, whose 1997 Cadillac crossed the center line at a high rate of speed, the Ohio State Highway Patrol reported. The Danes' vehicle was in its proper lane.
The impact crushed the front of the Daneses' Chevrolet Impala nearly to the firewall. Jamie and Emily, who have an 8-year-old son, were pronounced dead at the scene. The state patrol has a blood sample from Wodianka, who was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center with serious injuries, and will use it to determine whether Wodianka was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident.
Lt. Brian Holt of the patrol's Southington post said police suspect Wodianka was under the influence.
Wodianka lived on West Rockwell Road in Austintown in 1996 when he was charged with his first operating-a-motor-vehicle-impaired offense. He was 26, and the charge was called driving under the influence then. Judge Fred Bailey of the area court in Austintown dismissed the charge without much comment in the court record.
Wodianka was convicted of OVI in that same court four years later by Judge Joseph M. Houser after being charged by the state patrol. Wodianka received six days jail time, was placed on a year's probation, had a six-month license suspension with work privileges and was ordered to receive a substance-abuse assessment.
He violated the terms of his probation, which caused him to spend two months in the Mahoning County jail.
Over the next few years, Wodianka was charged with several offenses in Mahoning County — receiving stolen property, failure to maintain assured clear distance, disorderly conduct and driving under suspension.
He never again was convicted of OVI, though he was charged with it two more times.
After Wodianka crashed his car into a guardrail and tree on state Route 62 in Canfield on April 3, 2008, state trooper Philip Robinson said he noticed Wodianka's speech was slurred and his eyes were bloodshot. Wodianka refused to take a blood-alcohol test and was charged with OVI.
He was convicted in area court in Canfield of having physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, fined $750 plus court costs and sentenced to three days in jail.
On Oct. 10, 2010, Wodianka was arrested by Austintown police after an officer observed his pickup truck crossing the solid, yellow center line three times on state Route 46.
The officer charged him with OVI and several drug offenses after officers found Ativan (a Valium-type of drug) and Roxicodone (a pain medication) in a pill bottle in the truck.
Wodianka eventually was convicted of a drug charge in area court in Austintown indicating the presence of drugs in his system, fined $750 and sentenced to 23 days in jail. His driver's license was suspended for one year. An alcohol assessment was ordered.
Because Wodianka was charged with OVI three times that didn't result in OVI convictions, Paventi said she believes Wodianka is an example of why the OVI conviction rate is low in Mahoning and Trumbull counties.
One of the troubling trends, Paventi said, is that many OVI offenders whose penalties should be enhanced because of multiple offenses or high concentrations of alcohol in their system are being convicted on a lower-level OVI charge.
When Ohio House Bill 163 took effect in 2004, it instituted more harsh penalties for repeat OVI offenders, such as a mandatory prison sentence of one to five years for anyone with five or more convictions in the past 20 years, and increased penalties for OVI offenders who refuse a chemical or Breathalyzer test if they have more than one prior OVI conviction, Paventi said.
"We want high-tier (high concentrations of alcohol) and multiple-DUI offenders to have more accountability for their actions than just three-day DUI schools," she said.
Paventi's statistics, which she localized from OVI statistics generated by the Ohio Supreme Court, indicate that one court in Mahoning and one in Trumbull have relatively high OVI conviction rates: the area court in Sebring (68 percent) and Warren Municipal Court (85 percent). The courts in Columbiana County also average 83 percent.
Paventi said one of the problems in Mahoning County is the lack of sufficient jail space to lock up OVI offenders. She has met with county officials to discuss the possibility of reopening the county's minimum-security jail so that OVI offenders could be housed there at the offender's own cost, but the idea hasn't gotten much traction.
Judges in Mahoning County know that jail time is not an option in many cases because of lack of jail space, so it affects the sentencing, she said.
Judge Patrick Cunning of Campbell Municipal Court said the lack of jail space is always a factor in sentencing, but not just for OVI.
"Resources play a role in the entire system," he said.
Judge Cunning said a jail stay resulting from an OVI conviction isn't necessarily going to alter an offender's lifestyle. Treatment is a more effective factor, he said.
Other judges contacted for this story did not return calls seeking comment.
Judge Cunning said he's never been made aware that the area has a lower OVI conviction rate than other areas.
Greg Hicks, Warren law director, said a variety of factors can contribute to the OVI conviction rate, including the quality of the evidence from law enforcement.
But Hicks said he thinks having two full-time prosecutors handling OVI cases in Warren results in more consistent handling than when smaller courts with part-time prosecutors handle them.
Part-time prosecutors usually have a private practice in addition to their prosecutorial duties and might be more inclined to accept a plea and a reduction because of the amount of time involved in going to trial on an OVI, Hicks said.
"We don't pussyfoot around. We take DUI seriously," Hicks said of Warren prosecutors. "We're here eight hours anyway. If they don't want to take the deal, we say, 'We'll see you tomorrow.'"
Judge Thomas Gysegem of Warren Municipal Court notes that the physical control charge Wodianka was convicted of is a DUI-related offense with similar penalties as DUI. When he sees that type of charge in someone's record, it impacts the sentence the person gets the next time they are charged with OVI.
Judge Gysegem said it's important for judges to ensure that OVI offenders undergo the treatment programs he orders for them. In his court, a pretrial hearing is scheduled for several months after the conviction to find out whether the treatment took place.
It's because the judges need the lawyers to contribute to the re-election campaigns. They are too friendly.
Make room and gets these lousy killing drunks OFF OUR STREETS! How hard is this to do????? STOP MAKING PITIFUL EXCUSES.
"driving drunk doesn't hurt anyone."
Are you really serious?
"Valley courts get an F in _______________"
You can fill in the blank with anything you like, it will be accurate. OVI's are monitored closely by the state, and I am sure that is part of why it is coming to the forefront...
But what about everything else...?
The reason is most judges and attorneys are nothing but drunks themselves. This story is nothing new - My family was hit head on by a drunk back in 1980 - killed the drunks passenger - screwed up our lives forever. Good old Brookfield court gave him ONE YEAR suspension and $100 doll fine - that was IT!!! No jail time - no nothing. It was not the first DUI for the low life and he fcking walked. The scum bag got another DUI about 6 months later in Ashtabula county - and he walked again - so he learned nothing by killing someone. I asked the scum bag attorney how he could defend this low life since the attorney's own family member had been killed by a drunk - his answer - "it's all in the money". Jerk is no better than the fcking drunk. The laws will never be enforced like they suppose to be when you have people in charge that are just a guilty as the scum they are trying in court - the saying "everyone has driving drunk at least once" is total fcking buii shlt - and I have even heard an idiot judge say that once. I used to work for the State Patrol in Ohio - so I have seen allot.
I have worked in the Trumbull and Mahoning court systems. Almost every municipal prosecuting attorney is a part time employee, generally working about 12 to 15 hours a week. In all OVI cases the Defendant is entitled to three different hearings, the last being a trial, which if tried to a jury would typically take 2-3 full days. If the courts and prosecutors offices insisted in all OVI cases result in OvI convictions with severe penalties, there would be no incentive for the offender to plea, and all cases would result in the offender taking advantage of all of the available hearings. If that occurred, the cours would not be open for business enough hours to prosecute anything but OVI cases, and all other criminal and civil cases would have to be dismissed. With the part time judges in some courts and the part time prosecutors in most courts, it is simply a matter of judicial economy. Warren Muni is fortunate to have Traci and Nick as full time prosecutors, but that is a rare case. I believe most of the area prosecutors seek to do the best they can given the limited time they are employed in that capacity.
Oh and one other thing. Writing a news article and quoting the opinion of a person who is in a business that makes a living off of persons convicted of OVI is probably not the most unbiased vision of the whole story.
We all know there's a fortune to made with these ovi cases.
It's a game of lower the charge,jack up the fines,attorney fees and court costs.
Give the repeat offender driving privileges so he can go to work and keep paying .
Never mind the fact that he's caused serious injury or worse as long as he's willing to pay.
Locking the offender up cost the so called legal system money and that's the last thing the system wants !!
When in costody they have to feed,house,transport and take care of any medical issues the offender might have and that cost money.
OVI caese are a gift to the courts that just keeps on giving.
Each enity takes their cut including the probation dept.
Isn't it funny how the probation period only lasts until all fines and fees are paid in full ?
And of course don't forget the insurance industry loves collecting those high risk rates for years too.
Everybody gets a cut...
OVI = Cash Cow end of story !!
Any drunk who kills someone in an auto accident should be charged with murder, and anyone who is arrested for driving while drunk should be charged with attempted murder.
> > OVI = Cash Cow end of story < <
Spot on, steelwagon. The Mad Mothers made having a drink and driving home into a national big issue.
The trial lawyers and county revenuers realized an enormous revenue potential and the "OVI Industry" exploded.
Just want to say I agree with Attis comment. The only way to stop drinking and driving is to do that. An intresting fact: there are couple of countries in the world that your first offense for OVI is you last. The penalty for OVI is death.
I am not saying that we should do but penalties have to be a lot more than what we have now.
After reading this story I did some looking on the Internet. In some countries you can't drink and drive period. And if caught the penalties are,very severe. In Austrailia their is no acceptable level of drinking and driving period. Kasich hates the people in his state he should do that. It'll warm his ice cube heart to put all those union people in jail.
the alcohol industry spends billions in advertising every year...make them contribute funds to house the offenders...
@ candystriper:
Ever wonder what comprises the cost of a bottle of whiskey?
The majority of the cost is tax.
I've always liked Southern Comfort which sold in Ohio for about $6.50 in 1967. When I was in VietNam at that time, it was $2.25, the difference was due to tax not being applied there.
as the niece of the couple lost last friday and godmother/cousin of brendan i am absolutely sick over the comment made by the ignorant jerk above who actually wrote "drinking and driving doesn't hurt anyone"! how about he personally comes to our house and he can tell brendan there was nothing wrong with why his mommy and daddy were killed by some IDIOT drinking and driving, on drugs, and driving irratic! until he walks 1 day in our familes shoes the last week of what we have had to deal with as losing 2 amazing people in our family.. and explaining it to an 8 year old little boy that lost his mom and dad, there is no right he has to make comments as he had! the tragedy our hearts have delt with isnt from a accident! IT WAS SENSELESS, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE, IT WAS UNCALLED FOR, AND IT WAS MURDER! YOU DRINK, DRIVE A CAR, DO DRUGS, AND GO OUT DRIVING LIKE AN IDIOT YOU ARE A MURDERER!
"driving drunk doesn't hurt anyone. "
"OVI = Cash Cow end of story !!"
"> > OVI = Cash Cow end of story < <
Spot on, steelwagon. The Mad Mothers made having a drink and driving home into a national big issue."
Are you freakin idiots that stupid?? A family lost 2 INNOCENT people because of some idiot DRUNK driver. And all you can say is that drunk driving don't hurt no one, it's all a Cash Cow, Mad Mothers to blame. You can't be that stupid, can you? You must be to made such idiotic statements like that, go have a few drinks, get behind the wheel and go kill someone, then you might realize the dangers of drunk driving OR have a member of your family or your child or someone you care about KILLED because of a drunk driver. You'll change your tune real FAST.
Go to the grieving family and tell them that looking them straight in the eyes! You cowards wouldn't have the guts.
What pitiful fools in our society today. Such disgusting filth.
Just an FYI... TASC is a private non-profit agency. That being said, any profits from the DUI school goes back into serving indigent clients that need treatment.
I think someone needs try to sue one of the judges that signed off on this jerk and see what happens. Any lawyers out there? As I said before we have too many judges and need to get rid of a few because it looks like they can't do their job. Attis is correct! Texting should fit in there somewhere too if you've ever been behind one of these idiots you know what i'm talking about

Student Event Planning Information
The University Unions encourages opportunities for students to meet, celebrate their cultural heritage and traditions, raise funds, or merely relax and enjoy themselves. We at the University take a profound interest in promoting all of these activities and in assuring that all members of the University of Michigan community and their guest feel welcome and safe at such events.
The following guide is intended to explain the policies of the University Unions and the procedures for using its facilities.
General Guide to Using University Unions Facilities
To request the use of any University Union room or service, come to Event Services. This office will serve most of your needs and can offer answers to many questions relating to your event.
- Make arrangements for setup of room and audio/visual equipment.
- Make arrangements for any necessary food service.
If you must cancel, let Event Services know as soon as possible. One week prior notice is required for all rooms except the Ballroom, Pendleton, Vandenburg, Hussey, University Club, which require 90 calendar days notice.
Scheduling Rooms
All student groups registered with the Central Student Government (CSG) & Student Organization Account Services (SOAS) as voluntary or sponsored student organizations, can schedule rooms in the Unions. If you are not a registered student group you can talk to the assembly regarding registration in Rm. 3909, Michigan Union or call Event Services at (734) 764-8837.
Only SOAS authorized signers designated by the organization to make financial commitments and withdraw funds from their accounts can make scheduling arrangements.
Money must be deposited to cover the event's expenses with the Student Organization Accounts Service, and the student group's account number must be included on all scheduling forms.
Safety and Security
Fire and safety regulations determine the number of individuals who may attend any specific event. The maximum number of participants depends upon the size of the room, the number of exits, and the room's specific configuration for the event. Tables, chairs, risers, and similar items reduce a room's capacity.
Admittance-Michigan Union
A primary goal of the Michigan Union is to provide a stimulating and diversified array of services and activities to members of the University community. As part of the effort, we continually assess our ability to insure that the Union environment is as safe and secure as possible. To help achieve these objectives, we have initiated the following procedure for access to the Union:
- UM students, faculty, staff and alumni must show valid University of Michigan I.D. Alumni and University guests must be appropriately identified
- UM students, faculty, staff and alumni may bring 2 escorted guests.
- Guests will be required to show a valid picture I.D. and sign the guest register.
This procedure is required for access on Friday and Saturday nights after 9:30 PM during Fall and Winter term.
Food and Alcohol Policy
If you plan to have food and beverages served at your gathering, it must be provided by Michigan Union Food Services. Arrangements must be confirmed 2 weeks prior to the event. If alcohol is going to be served at your gathering, the following will apply:
- You must be 21 or older to be served.
- You can only purchase one drink at a time. (i.e., you may not buy a drink for another guest.)
- When alcohol is served, anyone under 17 years of age must be escorted by a parent or legal guardian.
- When alcohol is served, food of a substantial nature must be provided.
- Only cash bars are available at student dances/parties or events.
Decorations, Exhibits and Displays
Decorations, exhibits, and displays can play an important part in any gathering. They can turn your "typical" event into something extra special. Though students are welcome to set up decorations, exhibits, and displays for their gatherings, there are a few guidelines to follow.
- The method of placing decorations, exhibits, and displays in the University Unions must be approved by Event Services.
- Doorways, hallways, corridors, staircase and fire exits cannot be blocked or obstructed.
- A group may not attach anything to ceilings, walls, floors, wood-work, draperies, windows or any painted or papered surface.
- Light bulbs may not be placed where the heat from the bulbs might create a fire hazard. "Special Effects" equipment, such as smoke, fog and fire machines are not permitted in the Union.
- Signs, banners, and displays made with flammable materials may be used only where no danger of fire exists, as determined by Event Services.
- Groups utilizing decorations, exhibits or displays must arrange their own labor.
- Candles must be enclosed in glass to prevent a fire hazard.
- Confetti, rice, dance wax and similar materials may not be used in the University Unions.
- The University Unions are not responsible for loss of any materials such as displays, gifts, favors or other items left in the building. Unfortunately, the Unions do not have space to store these items. Consequently, decorations, exhibits and displays must be removed immediately following the event.
Here are some suggestions for dressing up your occasion!
- Balloon bouquets and arches
- Potted Floor Plants
- Flower Arrangements
- Use of existing hooks to hang banners and streamers
- Use of pipe and drape for suspending banners or decorations
- Audio Visual Effects
- Fountains

Joe has a great sense of what is most meaningful in the history and tradition of our music, and a real solid musical vision of where he wants to take it. —Houston Person, legendary tenor saxophonist
The young Alterman's heart is undeniably in the right place, and so is his playing. —Todd Barkan, veteran record producer & artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center's Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola
Joe Alterman has tremendous taste and a passionate respect for swing and space. His touch on the keyboard is reminiscent of pianists from earlier years who listened carefully, felt expressively and actually cared about what the listener heard. Joe is a remarkable swinger and poet. —Marc Myers, JazzWax.com
Talk about the joy of jazz!...It's a pleasure to hear this music...You've got it! — Nat Hentoff, critic, journalist, record producer, NEA Jazz Master
Alterman as "A pianistic wunderkind whose style recalls the elegantly swinging trappings of artists like Erroll Garner and Red Garland…eschewing the well-mined vein of hard bob favored amongst today's younger players in favor of a more rounded vintage technique. Alterman brandishes a lyrical pianistic touch and an intuitive sense of swing that are a uniquely wonderful joy to hear. Alterman's remarkable gifts are enough to reassure anyone that the future of jazz is in good hands." - Hot House Jazz Magazine
Sondheim's song urges us all to learn how to bounce, which I know is a commendable skill - but young Joe Alterman already knows how. Welcome! —Michael Steinman, JazzLives.wordpress.com
Although there are stretches where his use of dynamics and space recalls Ahmad Jamal, Alterman sounds like himself...[He] displays a lot of originality in his playing, even on the more familiar standards, and his ideas are full of life, spirit and little surprises. —Scott Yanow, jazz journalist, author, and historian
A prodigiously talented musician with plenty of jazz chops but doesn't overwhelm, just plays the music. I look forward to hearing great things from this guy. —Don Emanuel, Coljazz.webs.com
Joe Alterman is fresh face in the piano trio continuum—a young artist with respect for both the tradition and swing in the marrow of his bones...Piano Tracks, Volume 1 is a superb debut, announcing the arrival of Joe Alterman as a rising jazz star. —Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz

Sweet Hearts
It has been a while since I last entered the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge but since the jolly fat man in the red suit brought me a couple of new stamps sets I thought I should play along. For my card today I used the Sweet Hearts stamp set from Paper Smooches and was inspired to stack them like the cakes in the inspiration photo.

Yes, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles will be in Rome and will vote in the process to select the next pope. In fact, as part of his social-media campaign against his critics, he plans to tweet whenever and wherever Vatican officials will let him get his hands on a keyboard.
Meanwhile, I am still following, with great interest, the mainstream media's attempts to describe Mahony's starring role in the North American Church and, especially, his approach to Catholic life and doctrine, which has for decades made him a figure of some controversy. Click here, for some background information related to this topic, especially the contrasting personalities of Mahony and current Archbishop Jose H. Gomez.
Both supporters and critics of Mahony would agree that, to understand the cardinal's legacy, one has to wrestle with the history of the giant Religious Education Conference held in Los Angeles. Simply stated, it has long been a symbolic gathering of the progressive leaders of American Catholicism.
Thus, The New York Times dispatched a team to cover this year's event. Here is some summary material from the resulting report to set the stage:
… This is a defining moment for Archbishop Gomez, who took over from Cardinal Mahony two years ago and is universally described as low-key and quiet, particularly compared with his predecessor. His public rebuke of Cardinal Mahony stunned observers not only for its content, but because the normally mild-mannered archbishop would react so swiftly and dramatically. …
Now, many see this as a first turn in the spotlight for Archbishop Gomez. Cardinal Mahony was known for marching in public rallies, cultivating allies in politics and Hollywood and an almost larger-than-life public persona. By contrast, Archbishop Gomez has only rarely appeared in the press over the last two years. He declined to be interviewed for this article and his staff declined to allow a reporter into the Religious Education Congress without an escort.
Once again, Mahony is described merely in terms of style, while Gomez receives both a style nod and, later on, an accurate theological label.
But here is the passage in this lengthy story that caught my eye:
Many here questioned whether Archbishop Gomez, a theological conservative shaped by his membership in the movement Opus Dei, would move quickly to undo Cardinal Mahony's more liberal policies, like appointing women and lay people to powerful positions and supporting a robust AIDS ministry. But two years after taking the reins, he is often praised for not acting along ideological lines and has made changes only slowly. Last year, for example, he changed the name of the Office of Justice and Peace to the Office of Life, Justice and Peace. …
For many, Cardinal Mahony has long been a lightning rod in the church. He has deep wells of respect among Latinos, largely because of his role as a champion for immigrants. But traditionalists resent him for his liberal stances.
Now the key to this story is that the Times never appears to have actually interviewed any conservative Catholics in order to learn why they considered Mahony to be a liberal in the church. Instead, as is often the case, readers are given that reference to his "appointing women and lay people to powerful positions and supporting a robust AIDS ministry."
Well, that's interesting.

Despite this, I'm not unhappy. I'm focusing on the tiny pleasures in life - good music on my ride into work, hot chai from Starbucks in the afternoon, the momentary endorphin rush from an evening run - and doing so is keeping me sane. My friends check in on me regularly via Facebook or text messages, and they remind me that there is a world beyond this. When my exams are over in 123 days or less*, there is life to be lived again.
In the past, I've always viewed challenge and struggle as things to be endured. As I go through this exam preparation phase - which will likely be the last prolonged study period of my life - I'm trying instead to remember that there is value in what I'm going through. I'm learning things from my studies that are far more important than which antibiotics to give to HIV-positive patients with multidrug resistant tuberculosis. When I finally come up for air in 123 days or less, I may just write about them.
*I won't find out the date of my oral exam for a few more months, but 123 days would take me to the absolute last exam date.
On a completely unrelated note, have you seen this video? Love it!

Well, that was a strange one. Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain battled - in virtually every sense of the word - to a 4-4 draw at the Stade de Gerland, and this was a match that was every bit as interesting as the scoreline suggests. Both teams were heavy on the attack and not-so-heavy on playing defence, and that led to an absolutely enthralling spectacle. With Montpellier triumphant over Bordeaux their game, Carlo Ancelotti's PSG needed a win to retain their status as Ligue Un leaders, but it was the hosts, desperate to overhaul Lille and move third, who started out with all guns blazing.
An expensively-overhauled PSG defence looked as though it would melt in a storm of attacking football, but somehow Salvatore Sirigu avoided conceding in the early stages, allowing their glittering array of attacking talent to go on the offensive. Hugo Lloris pulled off a fine diving save early on, preventing Bakary Kone from scoring an own goal after Javier Pastore's driving cross, but the Lyon stopper couldn't block PSG's first significant attempt on goal, which came in the 21st minute.
Mohamed Sissoko won a free kick on the right, and the entire Lyon defence was expecting Jeremy Menez to swing in a cross. Instead, he pulled the ball back across the top of the area, where it was met with a precision effort from Guillaume Hoarau. Lloris had no chance, the shot fizzing straight into the bottom corner and Hoarau, who had scored a last minute goal against Montpellier to salvage a draw the weekend prior, was the hero again.
Lyon didn't take very kindly to going behind after such a promising start and threw bodies forward looking for the equaliser. Sirigu had to be alert to prevent Bafetembi Gomis from scoring just after the half hour mark after the striker had turned Mamadou Sahko at the edge of the box and shot from range, while at the other end former Chelsea man Alex nearly added to his tally of trademark free kicks, nearly knocking Lloris over with a howitzer of a shot after being teed up by Nene.
Then, suddenly, everything started going Lyon's way. A half cleared corner, conceded after Sirigu's fine save from Jimmy Briand, made it as far as Kim Kallstrom, who sent an aimless-looking floated pass towards the back post. The ball seemed to hang up for eternity, and when it came down it was met with a vicious volley from Gomis, blistering past the keeper and in for the equaliser.
And the hosts weren't finished yet. A PSG corner was quickly turned into a Lyon counterattack, and although it looked as though Michel Bastos had run out of options when he was forced to check back on the edge of the area, the Brazilian expertly picked out Lisandro Lopez's back post run with a phenomenal cross. Lisandro made the most of the opportunity, stabbing the ball first-time past Sirigu to make it 2-1. Within the span of two minutes, the game had been turned on its head.
Carlo Ancelotti's eyebrows were threatening to fly off the top of his forehead by this point, and they nearly achieved a new life as free-floating entities shortly thereafter when Michel Bastos capped off Lyon's sublime spell with an absolutely superb half volley. A corner kick went long, and the midfielder got into perfect position and slammed straight into the top corner from twenty yards out.
It looked as though the first half was going to end at 3-1, but a moment of madness cost the hosts just before the whistle. Maxime Gonalons had absolutely no reason to scythe down Nene at the top of the box, but cut him down he did, and referee Fredy Fautrel wasted no time in pointing (correctly) to the spot. Nene dusted himself off and waited for Lloris to commit before sliding the ball home to make PSG's halftime deficit a more manageable 3-2.
Of course, Lyon were hardly going to sit back and let their guests come at them. A good old-fashioned corner kick restored their two-goal cushion, with Gomis getting the better of Sissoko to head past Sirigu just before the half hour mark. At 4-2, they should have been able to see out the match comfortably. They weren't.
The ineffective Pastore, who had only just returned from a months-long injury absence, was immediately hauled off for a spare striker in Kevin Gameiro as Paris Saint-Germain looked to press the attack. The substitution paid off - Lyon's back line looked increasingly stretched following Gameiro's entry, and eventually the visitors were able to pull it back to 4-3, with Hoarau unselfishly laying off possession to an onrushing Ceara, who took advantage of a disorganised defence to finish first-time past Lloris.
There was plenty of time left for an equaliser, and one looked like it was on its way. Lloris was forced into some amazing saves as PSG pushed hard for their fourth goal, clawing away Nene's bouncing effort with his fingertips before flinging himself to his right to parry Thiago Motta's header away from danger.
The visitors were becoming increasingly desperate, and they threw everything they had at Lloris's goal during injury time, even stationing Sirigu in the Lyon penalty area. Finally, in the 94th minute, that pressure paid off, when Mathieu Bodmer's delivery was met with a superb header from that man Hoarau, who made it 4-4 with what was for all intents and purposes the last touch of the game. PSG's players and fans went into raptures. Lyon were rather less impressed.
Although it was a phenomenal fightback, the draw was not good enough for PSG to remain at the top of the table, with Montpellier now leading Ligue Un by a solitary point (if not for the efforts of Hoarau, it would be a four-point deficit!). A point, however, is manageable - the gap between Lyon and third place Lille, which stands at five points and could be as large as eight by the end of the weekend, looks far more daunting.

NOTE i also defoliated the plants four times in six weeks removing all the inner big fan leaves and covering fan leaves nothing else. i would recommend everybody using defoliation method to open up your plants growth and air flow. i had set up a scrog but decided to just keep the 9 squares so i could easier see there seperation evenly and possible will use for LSTing. but the plants seem very easyily maintained.

Raccoon Swifted, Part 3
Ah the sweet smell of
ammonia success! The Taylor Swift marathon proved too much for the raccoon. Our neighborhood pet pest removed himself from the chimney. I'm moving on with the fireplace project without cage, capture, or release.
I bought paint for the inside brick. Scratch that. Today, I bought paint twice for the inside brick. The first time, Bacon convinced me that high heat spray paint would be quick and painless. I knew better. After we got home with the rattle can, I took a look at the proscenium. That's a college word (borrowed from the theatre) for picture frame.
"How the heck am I going to keep paint off of the brick?"
"You can mask it with something."
"I don't know. Paper. Tape."
I dragged him out to the front porch, where two years ago I spray painted wrought iron columns.
"See that?" I pointed to a black gash on the concrete. "Two years ago, I covered the porch with tape and paper. You complained about it that day. The mark is still there. Why do I let you bully me into buying the cheapest thing?"
"I did not bully you."
"You did."
At this point, Bacon did something miraculous. He quit arguing and left home to run an errand. I took the rattle can back to Home Depot and exchanged it for a quart of brush-on High Heat Rustoleum.
Bacon came home with flowers. Happy Valentine's Day!
Snow Day in the Tropics
The robo call came at 5:35 this morning.
The superintendent has decided that the roads are unsafe; therefore, school will be canceled for Friday, January 24. Information about a make-up day due to inclement weather will be forthcoming.
I crawled back in bed and fell asleep. For fifteen minutes. When the second call came, I opened Bacon's ancient flip phone and slammed it shut. We slept in.
Today sits on the cusp of an unreasonably busy weekend. Coco plays in a violin contest Saturday morning. Cherry swims in a meet Saturday and Sunday. Coco swims in a different meet on Sunday. Bacon and I are the official transportation, going our separate ways to support both girls' endeavors. Most climates would dictate mass cancellations, but the icicles on our eave are already melting. The National Weather Service predicts 60º for Saturday and 70º for Sunday. In other words, back to normal.
But this morning, it's nice to have my family at home, huddled in front of the television watching Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader and eating popcorn.
Ink. Will it go the way of the 8-track? the cassette? the Commodore 64? The other day, I tried to buy another fountain pen in Office Depot. "Sorry Ma'am. We don't carry them anymore." The red-shirted clerk pivoted and spoke into his wireless headset. "Yeah, got it. Some lady on 10 wanted a fountain pen." He listened. "No kidding. I've never even seen one."
I sauntered out the glass sliders without so much as a new pack of Post Its. My old pen still worked, but I misplaced it a few days ago and panicked. When I found it in the bottom of my laptop bag, I had to apologize to everyone in my family for the string of nasty accusations. "Did you steal my pen? Take it off my desk? Let me see your pockets." I got to thinking it might be worth the investment to have a back-up. Office Depot wasn't the only option. I could buy online or try the mall. Though, the specialty shop at the mall was probably out of my price range.
I know I sound frivolous, downright silly. I own G2's and Inkjoy's. Premium mechanical pencils disappear as fast as Hershey's Special Dark around our house. But, my Waterman extends my heart onto the page like no other device. Liquid loops from a real pen are intimate. A nib scratches softly, euphoniously etching my thoughts onto paper.

The realization has finally sunk in with my wife that the Peyton Manning era is basically over for Colts fans. There are still hints of a chance as long as Peyton Manning hasn't had his contract terminated, but I haven't come across anyone who thinks there is any other outcome other than the Colts cutting Manning loose before having to pay $28 million.
Anything is possible, of course, just like my dreams on nights when I have an active lottery ticket in my possession. I also understand full well how hard it is to say goodbye to good things, but my response to my wife's statement that this is the end of an era was, "At least you had an era."
