Flag of Maryland
|Civil and state flag
|November 25, 1904
|Heraldic banner of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore
The Flag of the State of Maryland consists of the heraldic banner of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore. It is the only state flag in the United States to be based on English heraldry. (While the flag of Washington, D.C., is a representation of the coat of arms of the Washington family, Washington, D.C., is not a state.) It was officially adopted by Maryland in 1904.
The black and gold design on the flag is the coat of arms of the Calvert family. It was granted to George Calvert as a reward for his storming a fortification during a battle (the vertical bars approximate the bars of the palisade).[citation needed] The red and white design is the coat of arms of the Crossland family, the family of Calvert's mother, and features a cross bottony. Since George Calvert's mother was an heiress, he was entitled to use both coats of arms in his banner. It is one of only four US state flags that does not contain the color blue.
The Maryland colony was founded by Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, hence the use of his coat of arms in the flag. At first, only the gold and black Calvert arms were associated with Maryland, being reintroduced in 1854.[1] The red and white Crossland arms, which belonged to the family of Calvert's paternal grandmother, gained popularity during the American Civil War, during which Maryland remained with the Union despite many citizens' support for the Confederacy. Those Marylanders who supported the Confederacy, many of whom fought in the Army of Northern Virginia, adopted the Crossland banner, which was red and white with the bottony (trefoil) cross [1] (seen as "secession colors").[citation needed]. The black and gold (yellow) colors with the chevron design of the Calvert family were used in the flags and devices of the Union regiments in the Army of the Potomac.
After the war, Marylanders who had fought on either side of the conflict returned to their state in need of reconciliation. The present design, which incorporates both of the coats of arms used by George Calvert, began appearing. At first, the Crossland coat of arms was put in the upper-left corner, but this was supposedly swapped with the Union's Calvert arms because of the Union victory.[citation needed]
The flag in its present form was first flown on October 11, 1880, in Baltimore, Maryland, at a parade marking the 150th anniversary of the founding of Baltimore. It also was flown on October 25, 1888, at the Gettysburg Battlefield during ceremonies dedicating monuments to Maryland regiments of the Army of the Potomac. However, it was not officially adopted as the state flag until 1904 (Chapter 48, Acts of 1904, effective March 9, 1904).[1]
In 2001, a survey conducted by the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) placed Maryland's flag fourth best in design quality out of the 72 Canadian provincial, U.S. state and U.S. territory flags ranked.[2]
Legal description[edit]
Section 13–202 of the State Government Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland provides:
- (a) The State flag is quartered.
- (b) The 1st and 4th quarters are paly of 6 pieces, or and sable, a bend dexter counterchanged. Thus, the 1st and 4th quarters consist of 6 vertical bars alternately gold and black with a diagonal band on which the colors are reversed.
- (c) The 2nd and 3rd quarters are quarterly argent and gules, a cross bottony counterchanged. Thus, the 2nd and 3rd quarters are a quartered field of red and white, charged with a Greek cross, its arms terminating in trefoils, with the coloring transported, red being on the white ground and white on the red, and all being as represented upon the escutcheon of the State seal.
The Maryland Secretary of State publishes a "Protocol for the Maryland State Flag" which, among other things, specifies the colors of the flag:
1.04. The red and yellow colors in the Maryland flag should conform to the following Pantone Matching System colors:
- red on coated stock: PMS 201
- red on uncoated stock: PMS 193
- yellow on coated stock: PMS 124
- yellow on uncoated stock: PMS 124
Flagpole restrictions[edit]
Maryland is the only state in the union that has a specific guideline not only on how to display the flag but on what the flagpole should look like as well. In 1945, the Maryland General Assembly made a gold cross bottony the official ornament for any flagpole carrying the state flag. Some time before October 10, 2007, Government House (the governor's mansion) in Annapolis ceased to display the cross bottony at the top of the flag pole, but the flags at the State House continue to do so (adhering to Maryland Code Section 13-202 and 203). All other government buildings, including public schools, obey this guideline, but many private individuals and businesses do not.
Cultural impact[edit]
The Calvert and Crossland coats of arms, and the flag itself, have been adapted for use in various ways across the state.
- Beginning on September 9, 2008, the University of Maryland painted both end zones at Byrd Stadium with the flag's two patterns.
- Some Maryland counties and municipalities have arms and/or flags incorporating various elements of the arms, including the city of Baltimore, as well as Calvert, Caroline, Baltimore, Howard, and Worcester counties.
- The University of Maryland athletic teams have long used the colors of the state flag. All four colors from the flag are currently used, with the primary colors being red and white, with black and gold used as accent colors. The men's basketball team uses gold and the football team uses black as alternate colors. The Maryland flag is also displayed on the right shoulder of the football uniforms. At the start of the 2011 football season, the team unveiled a new uniform designed by Baltimore-based sportswear company Under Armour combining both parts of the flag. Similarly, the men's lacrosse team features designed from the flag on the jersey shoulders. The end zones of Byrd Stadium are often decorated in a Maryland flag motif, and the state flag is run onto the field during almost all the athletic games.
- The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), also in the University System of Maryland, has all four colors located in its main logo.
- The shield of Loyola University Maryland utilizes both the Calvert shield in its upper-left quadrant, as well as a stylized red and yellow quadrant, symbolic of the Maryland state flag.
- The Baltimore Dragon Boat Club features the flag motif in its logo.
- The seal of The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore features the same design and colors as the Maryland flag. The Johns Hopkins colors are sable and gold, taken from the Calvert coat of arms (though the athletic colors are blue and white, as the school mascot is the Blue Jay).
- The secondary logo of the Baltimore Ravens in the National Football League is a shield with alternating Calvert and Crossland Banners interlocked with a stylized "B" and "R".
- Starting with the 2009 season, the Baltimore Orioles baseball club has added a patch to the left arm of their uniforms that features a round version of the Maryland flag.
- The gold and black Calvert coat of arms and red and white Crossland coat of arms are featured in the seal of the town of Ferryland, Newfoundland, present day site of Calvert's Colony of Avalon.
- Southwest Airlines changed the livery of a 737-700 to a Maryland state flag theme in 2005, dubbed Maryland One.[3] Southwest Blog entry on Livery Schemes Picture
- Goucher College incorporates the flag in its seal.
- From 1986 to 2012, Maryland's standard issue license plates were white with black lettering and a central seal with the flag's unique design. The 1986-2012 plates are still valid and widely seen after being replaced by a design commemorating the War of 1812.[4]

Hynd (Charles V. Tines / The Detroit News)
Rochester � Oakland University�s newly named president said Wednesday that his priorities include promoting liberal arts and persuading more students to live in dorms, instead of commuting.
�I�m ready to launch the ship,� George W. Hynd said after the OU Board of Trustees chose him as the school�s sixth president. He had been provost and executive vice president of the College of Charleston since 2010.
Hynd, 66, moves into the top spot as the school deals with surging enrollment, rising costs and last year�s abrupt departure of longtime President Gary Russi. After 17 years at OU�s helm, Russi retired the same day in June 2013 that his wife, Beckie Francis, was fired as the school�s women�s basketball coach.
Students, faculty and school officials said they welcome the chance for a new beginning under Hynd.
�I�m ... very excited because this is a fresh person � I mean a really fresh person, like from a different state,� said junior Lauren Barthold, 20. �He�ll have a new outlook on things, new ideas, and I think he�ll really be there for the students.�
Hynd said he wants to create a �campus community� that will transform OU from a mostly commuter school. About 14 percent of the university�s 20,169 students live on campus.
�One thing I�d like to take a look at is how to attract more students who see this is a residential campus and not just a commuter college,� he said. �If we can drive up the number of students living on campus, the evidence shows you�ll have a higher retention rate and a higher probability the students will graduate in four years.�
Hynd takes office as OU prepares this fall to open a $30 million dormitory that will add 500 on-campus beds to the 2,100 previously available.
University spokesman Brian Bierley said OU can add more if there is demand. �Absolutely, there�s enough room,� he said. �We�ve got 1,443 acres of land owned by Oakland University and we only sit on a very small portion right now.�
For students who live nearby, such as senior Adorian Marc, getting them to move on campus could be a hard sell.
�I live in Troy, which is only a 20-minute commute, so it would not be realistic for me to think about living here,� said Marc, 20. �If they would make it worth it, then maybe more people would consider living here.�
Hynd takes over a school that has grown rapidly over the past 15 years.
OU�s enrollment has risen more than 40 percent since the late 1990s, and the school, founded in 1957, has expanded its curriculum to 260 programs.
The school partnered with the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2002 to bring a law program on campus, and opened the state�s fourth medical school in 2011.
Besides the new housing facility, OU broke ground last year on a 151-foot carillon clock tower. Other projects in the past four years include the $65 million Human Health Building, a $75 million Engineering Center and a $23 million parking structure with 1,240 spaces.
That growth, however, has been accompanied by controversy. Faculty members went on strike in 2009, protesting what they said were attempts by Russi to withhold information and sideline professors from shared decision-making.
Controversy roiled the Rochester school again last year when Russi retired and his wife was ousted from her coaching job after 13 seasons.
Some former players alleged that Francis forced her religious beliefs on them, held them to a strict nutritional policy and obsessed about their weight; the ex-coach has denied the allegations and sued OU last November, demanding specifics about why she was removed.
Russi�s sudden departure shook the campus, said student Rachel Deratany, 22, of Macomb Township.
�With such an abrupt leaving, it left us without a sense of guidance, without someone to lead us in the right direction,� she said. �It left us unsure of what to do and how to think of ourselves, even though we knew this is a very good school.�
Kevin Grimm, president of OU�s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said instructors at the school have high hopes for Hynd.
�His extensive experience as a teacher, scholar and administrator have prepared Dr. Hynd to lead OU as we negotiate the challenges facing institutions of higher learning today,� Grimm wrote in an email. �We look forward to working closely with Dr. Hynd in the coming months and years.�
Betty Youngblood, who had been associate vice president for outreach, was OU�s interim president during the past year. Bierley said she �will remain a part of the university, but her role is still being determined.�
Besides Hynd, the trustees interviewed Rodney K. Rogers, senior vice president of academic affairs and provost at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, and James Spaniolo, former president of the University of Texas at Arlington and former dean of the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University.
Board trustee Monica Emerson, who is an Oakland University alumna, said Hynd is �absolutely right for the university.�
�His thoughts are very much in line with our strategic vision in terms of continuing and growing education excellence and globalization, and the need to have more of an international experience for our students,� she said.
Speaking at a news conference after his appointment, Hynd said OU�s focus on liberal arts was one of the main reasons he wanted the job as president.
�If you read the history of the university, you�ll see that (OU founder) Matilda Dodge had a commitment to liberal arts,� he said. �Through liberal arts, a student learns to think critically, and can engage in respectful and thoughtful dialogue.�
With a background in clinical child neuropsychology, Hynd has authored, co-authored and edited 11 books, written 57 book chapters and published 153 peer-reviewed journal articles, most of which focus on theoretical and clinical issues in clinical child neuropsychology.
In Charleston, Hynd oversaw all undergraduate and graduate programs, including seven academic schools and programs at the College of Charleston North Campus and at Grice Marine Laboratory at Fort Johnson.

The weather that blew into south Mississippi over the last week was a true rarity, National Weather Service forecaster Danielle Manning said today.
A system moved into the coast Friday night and caused some icing on roads, and a separate system came through and caused freezing rain, sleet and highly iced roads beginning Tuesday.
"To get one icing event like that is pretty rare," said Manning, who works with NWS in Slidell, La. "But to get two is almost unheard of this far south."
The frigid cold the area has experienced lately has been pretty unusual, too.
"The coldest temperature on the (Mississippi) coast was 17 degrees in Pascagoula this morning," Manning said. "Biloxi and Gulfport got 20 degrees, so basically the coast saw upper teens and low 20s."
The norm for this time of year is a low of about 40 degrees and a high of just over 60 degrees.
"So the lows have been a solid 20 degrees below normal," she said.
Temperatures will shoot from 17 degrees to a high of 70 degrees by Saturday, Manning said.
But the steep temperature incline isn't exactly unusual in this case.
"Typically after we end up with a polar outbreak like this, it warms up fairly quickly too," she said.
"For example, earlier this month Gulfport went from 19 degrees to 63 degrees," she said. "In these cases, the temperature rebounds pretty quickly just because those colder temperatures are so abnormal."
Highs across the coast Friday will reach 60 degrees, according to the NWS, and 70 degrees Saturday.
"The next significant cold front doesn't come through until mid-next week," Manning said, "And even then there is no freezing in the forecast for coastal Mississippi."
Manning did warn that the area will see significant fog over the next several days, as warmer air moves across still-cold ground and water.

In stunning turn of events, the UFC has announced that the two cameramen working UFC 133, the director of the event and all production assistants, have been fired en masse from the company.
The UFC President told reporters "I am so fucking pissed! How could two cameramen that work for me not see a guy's weenie flopping all over the octagon? There are a million things a cameraman could show, why did they not catch that? As for the director, you are sitting in a fucking booth with 12 fucking monitors and you mean to tell me you fucking miss someone's schlong flopping out of his shorts? Fucking unbelievable!"
Mr White was reacting to an incident during Dennis Hallman's fight last night, where due to Hallman's decision to wear European style briefs, his nether regions were briefly exposed during the fight.
Said Mr. White, 'I was sitting there at ringside, and I just could not fucking take my eyes of the shorts. It was fucking embarrassing, even though I was so excited, I almost had trouble fucking breathing. You just can't have a grown man's muscular thighs on fucking display like that!"
A minor situation occurred during White's announcement of the firings when a reporter from the Sacramento Bee asked if the scant few who actually saw the .06 second exposure might have been those perhaps overly preoccupied with Hallman's groin area. Mr. White immediately fired the reporter from covering any future UFC events and vowed to call in the reporters managers for additional questioning.
On his way out the door, the UFC President fired a male security guard who was wearing a lavender shirt.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Anders Lindback is out indefinitely due to a lower-body injury, according to Mike Corcoran of NBC Sportstalk 1040.
Lindback is believed to have sustained the injury in the team's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night. Entering the game in relief of starter Mathieu Garon during the midway mark of the second period, Lindback left the game in the third period with a lower-body injury.
The team acknowledged that Lindback was going to be considered day-to-day following the game. Head coach Guy Boucher was hopeful that he would not be forced to miss an extended period of time.
Lindback has played in 21 of the team's 30 games this season and has registered a 10-7-1 record with a .903 save percentage and 2.88 goals against average. The 24-year-old goaltender was acquired this offseason via trade with the Nashville Predators.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend the other day that I felt like sharing. Basically, it's a game, a competition almost. Come up with an exchange of two players, that neither team would ever imagine trading (or that one of the two teams would never imagine trading). He originally posited an idea, so outlandish, that it took me a bit to deal with the shock. But after I regained consciousness I thought it was a pretty good idea . . . although that might have been the medication.
Disclaimer: My friend is a basketball fan and not a Celtics fan, also, none of these trade ideas are actually serious.
His words were: "Miami should call Boston tonight, say 'Danny I'll give you D-Wade for Ray, straight up' then Danny will think for a second, agree, and say 'We'll see you in the finals.'"
That was about where I blacked out. But then I started thinking about it . . . And that trade fixes so many of the things that are wrong with Miami, doesn't fix their lack of a true center or lack of a real PG. But put Ray on that team and they are a finals team. So I finally said:
"Yeah man, that's pretty true . . ."
To which he said: "Of course the problem for Miami is that then Boston becomes unstoppable, I mean Pierce would have open looks falling out of his jersey and after two games of getting guarded by Wade, Kobe would call in dead for the rest of the series."
For three days I wracked my brain trying to come up with something comparable, something that I could follow up with. Something that would make a team, instantly unstoppable, or instantly scarier. But then, I had it, it came to me in a lightning bolt of inspiration.
I could make LA instantly more competitive and instantly more likeable . . . and then I felt a little dirty inside. But I soldiered on. And I called him.
"Dude, I think I have something that trumps the Ray Allen for DWade thing."
"All right, do tell . . ."
"Okay," I began, a little nervous, "LA calls up Toronto, and deals Kobe for Calderon, straight up. And then either just cuts Fish or makes Toronto take him."
"Because," I continued, "as much offense as Kobe is able to generate by being stupid good, he wastes a lot of possessions by not feeding into the post, where Gasol is probably the best offensive big in the league."
"Yeah," he replied, "but they'd still need to get a good-ish 2 guard to pick up some of the slack. I mean okay Kobe is dragging Fish's inadequacy kicking and screaming. But there's a lot of scoring that they'd need to make up with just Calderon . . ."
Which I was prepared for: "All right," I said, "what if it's D-Will instead?"
He laughed and said: "Then New Jersey is like 'Quick! click accept before they change their mind!'"
I want to bring some funny back. We've reached the stage of the season where the ominous cloud of the playoffs looms like . . . well something big and loomy. So I'm going to toss out a few other humorous things through the next week and see what sticks. Because it isn't that the regular season has no meaning. But it's the salad or maybe the bread sticks before a meal. It's not the meal. This is the starter and the starter is almost over and the real thing can finally start. So it isn't that I don't care how the next 10 games go, I'd like for Boston to win out . . .but if they lose every single game I won't be that sad . . . Okay, so I don't care how the next 10 games go. Because in just a few short weeks the Might Boston Celtics are going to steamroll through the playoffs like an angry minotaur in Pottery Barn and leave behind them only the shattered dreams, hopes, and bodies of every team they play.
My playoff prediction, regardless of where Boston places at the end of the regular season, Boston Celtics Champions 2011, final playoff record 10-0 (some of the wins won't be credited because some teams will have to forfeit because all their players call in sick with Spanish Influenza).

Fact-checking the ad about Obama's promises
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Friday, May 18th, 2012 at 11:05 a.m.
An ad from Crossroads GPS attacks President Obama for broken promises, with each broken promise shattering the display of an iPad-like tablet computer.
"President Obama's agenda promised so much," the ad says, then recounts Obama's promises on foreclosures, taxes, health care and the deficit.
Crossroads, a group backed by Republican strategist Karl Rove, said the ad is part of $25 million advocacy initiative and will run in 10 states, including Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Crossroads is not a super PAC, but a 501(c)4. It does not have to disclose its donors.
We're checking several claims from this ad. Today, we start with the following claims:
• President Obama "promised" families making less than $250,000 a year would not see taxes go up, but "Obamacare raises 18 different taxes." We rated that Mostly False. The health law did authorize new taxes on tanning and smoking, but most of the other taxes are on high-income people and the health care industry.
• Obama promised to cut the deficit by half by the end of his first term but he "hasn't even come close." We rated this True. Obama did make that promise early in his first term; he's said himself it's not achievable after all because of the poor economic conditions.
See individual fact-checks for complete sources.

A couple of years ago, we used to have a regular video series called PE Live (later Audio File Sessions), where local musicians came in and did an interview with me on camera and played a few acoustic songs. It was like "MTV I.E. Unplugged."
I always had a great time doing it, but other commitments kept me from continuing the video. But I've always wanted to bring it back. At the end of 2012, I posted on Facebook, just to see if people would still be interested. I was blown away by how many people were up for coming in.
So I started reaching out to the people who were interested in hopes of getting this back up and running.
The Castle Pines guys stopped by for our first one a couple of weeks ago and then yesterday, three more amazing artists came to the office to do an acoustic performance–Davis Fetter, On Being Human and Science Fiction Theater.
While we won't have the videos up for a little while yet (big launch coming soon, I promise!), I did want to share some new music from the three artists who stopped by yesterday.
Davis Fetter was the first artist to stop by. Fetter grew up in Riverside and has made some excellent music. Recently, he's been releasing singles as a solo artist. Here's one of the singles, "Euphoria," in its full-blown plugged in glory. He did an acoustic version for us yesterday.
Fetter plans to play more shows this year and has a couple of other singles ready to go in the coming months. One of them he recorded in the desert with Dave Ketchum from Eagles of Death Metal. It's called "I Loved You So." Stay tuned for that performance.
Then, the guys from On Being Human dropped by. They just put out a fantastic EP called "eVe." Here's "Dream garden," one of the songs from the new EP.
On Being Human actually performed "Chasing the Sunlight" and "Unforgiving Sea," two other songs off the EP, for the first time for our shoot. They were also the first band to bring a banjo into PE Live. It was a treat to hear the acoustic treatment of the songs. Stay tuned to see the band play throughout the Inland Empire and Southern California. They will be announcing dates soon.
Last, but certainly not least, Mike and Jeremiah from Science Fiction Theater stopped by to play some new songs.
Here is the latest one they've released, "Illuminating You."
They're about to release a new full-length later this year and they have plans to play some shows soon, too.
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to come out and talk and perform. I can't wait to share the videos!

CATEGORIES MoviesIt's been quite the whirlwind for "Dancing with the Stars" champ-turned-movie-star, Julianne Hough.
After breaking onto the scene with last year's revamp of "Footloose," Hough snagged the lead in the big-screen adaptation of "Rock of Ages." In undoubtedly her most impressive role to date, she stars as Sherrie, a wide-eyed girl who hits the Sunset Strip with hopes of becoming a singer.
While Hough has been acclimated to Hollywood by now -- dating the consummate host Ryan Seacrest certainly helped ease the transition -- even she was intimidated by the star-studded cast of "Rock of Ages."
Hough explained that, she, much like her character, was in awe of Tom Cruise, who plays the fainting-inducing Stacee Jaxx.
"I'm literally meeting Stacee Jaxx for the first time and this was the first scene I ever did with Tom in the movie," she told The Boot. "I'm literally looking up [at Cruise], and when he says, 'You've got a perky heart' [and touches my chest], there wasn't a lot of acting going on because I was very nervous and I kept saying that I was messing up in the scene so we'd have to do it over and over and over [laughs] ...'One more, one more.'"
While being nervous in front of Tom Cruise might have come naturally, Hough explained that she needed some outside research for her character, namely, for her character's stripping stint.
"Yeah, [Ryan Seacrest and I] were in Miami, you walk down the street and you're in a strip club. It was fun! Might as well, right?'
"Rock of Ages" hits theaters today. You can read more of Hough's interview over on TheBoot.

Reports Focuses on Private/Public Partnerships To Advance Sustainability
A new report compiled by GlobeScan and SustainAbility says that the most effective way for companies to reach sustainability goals is working with multiple governments, which, despite their poor record in the sector, are essential to achieve success.
The survey consulted sustainability experts from corporate, government, NGO, academic, research, and service organizations in 74 countries. Nearly 800 experts were surveyed online by the two organizations in September 2012. Sub-Saharan Africa was also listened to thanks to a collaboration with the Gordon Institute of Business Science at the University of Pretoria.
Focus is the best way to be effective, the report says. Partnerships that concentrate on a single issue or purpose work better than those that seek to address a broader set of topics. However, the report says that all of the forms of collaboration that it examined are likely to become more common over the next five years.
Examples of how official support for sustainable industries work abound. For instance, in the US the wind industry thrives and generates jobs when it can rely on steady tax incentives and clear policies.
Partnerships on specific projects can work, too. For example, performance carmakers Lamborghini has entered an agreement with the Italian government through the Ministry of Environment to collaborate on sustainability projects, wrote European Car Web. Both parties will work to outline methods for measuring CO2 emissions during car production with the goal of neutralizing or reducing them. The overall goal is to create a template system that can be applied from design and development to production.

According to the Law concerning Postal Privatization established in October 2005, Japan Post broke up on October 1 2007, thereby launching postal privatization.
The postal services rendered so far by the public corporation have been taken over by:
- (1) Japan Post Service Co., Ltd.
- (2) Japan Post Bank Co., Ltd.
- (3) Japan Post Insurance Co., Ltd.
- (4) Japan Post Network Co., Ltd. serving as the contact for those corporations
- (5) Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd., a holding company for those four business corporations
- (6) Management Organization for Postal Savings and Postal Life Insurance, an incorporated administrative agency that manages the savings and insurance policies rendered before the privatization.
The PSPPB has so far done the following: (1) established the Japan Post Holdings, which makes preparations for, and plans, privatization; (2) established and revised laws related to the new corporations; (3) instructed the Japan Post Holdings to prepare the implementation plan that sets forth how to transfer the public corporation's affairs, assets, employees, and other resources to the privatized corporations; and (4) examined its appropriateness, thereby having made steady preparations for the privatization.
Privatization of postal services makes their management more voluntary, creative, and efficient and promotes fair and free competition, aiming to provide varied high-quality services, thereby increasing civic convenience and activating the economy.
Toward the realization of these principles of privatization, the PSPPB works to make the postal privatization a success.

Lets be honest Portland's defense is terrible. Meyers Leonard was abused by Jermaine Oneal and Marchin Gortat earlier this season. The nuggets had a easy time scoring in the paint last night against Joel Freeland, Babbitt, Leonard, or anyone else down in the paint got owned. I think it is time to part ways with Nolan Smith, and if we can elliot williams, and one of our unproven players like Clavier or Freeland for a big man to mentor leonard and play a joel pryzbilla role.
A couple ideas i had for players was
Samuel Dalempert- expiring contract and not getting much time on Milwaukee's crowded depth chart.
Drew Gooden- Same story as Dalempert but has this year and 2 more years on his deal to the tune of 26 million but is very easy to get right now
Kwame Brown- Any story with Brown is the same, never lived up to his draft status. But he is a solid rebounder and a decent scorer in limited minutes. Philly may or may not choice to move his based on what happens with Andrew Bynum, but he was available early in the season.
Timofey Mozgov- The nuggets may be wary of an in division trade but the big man has been solid in limited minutes. The nuggets may trade him if they feel that could get them farther from the luxury tax line and if Javele McGee keeps earning George Karl's trust.
Ryan Hollins- Not a big part of whats going on in LA, Portland has second round draft picks to throw in to sweeten the deal but LA does thrive with on their teams depth.
Brandon Wright- Same as Hollins but he does have a defined role in Dallas though it will diminish once Dirk comes back from his injury.
Louis Amundson- A high energy guy that had his best year in PHX when they played Portland in the playoffs. He has bounced around a little and fallen down the depth chart in IND but with David West having an injury history makes them more unlikely to trade him and it would either take help from the wing or a big breakout by Miles Plumee to make him readily available
Other options that could be easily obtained but would cut into next years would be Tyrus Thomas-big contract for alot of immaturity on the court, Joel Anthony- Basically just a defensive player in limited minutes, did play a big partin miami defense 2 years ago, Zaza Pachulia- Long term player in ATL that is productive in whatever minutes he gets, not to likely to be traded.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Texas Senate has toughened the punishment for leaving an accident that causes an injury.
The measure by Austin Democratic Sen. Kirk Watson passed unanimously on Tuesday.
Senate Bill 275 makes fleeing the scene of an accident a second degree felony. That's the same as intoxication manslaughter for hitting someone while driving under the influence.
Watson said that because leaving the scene of an accident was only a third degree felony, some drunk drivers were driving away to avoid tougher punishments. A recent accident involving a Capitol staff member killing an Austin nanny brought attention to the disparity.
The bill now goes to the House for consideration. If passed, fleeing an accident that causes an injury could result in up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

In an attempt to provide the TN community with statistical analysis that goes beyond what one could find on other websites I've created an excel program that will sort and calculate data based on a number of different criteria; by down and distance, by quarter, by drive, by player, etc.
The goal here is to come up with creative, yet meaningful stats to provide numerical evidence of which aspects are working well and which are lacking. My mind is more analytical than creative, so I'd like to get some feed back on what you all would be interested in tracking. I'm not looking for the - how many TD's does Joe Lightning score after eating lasagna pre-game meal - type stats. But, I will try to incorporate all requests. Here is a sample:
This data is from the UF game, 2010, with garbage time excluded. What it's focused on is a comparison of standard downs vs. all plays. The success rate is based on the percentage of plays that resulted in a standard down. What's displayed is a only a summary and there are a number of other parameters it's set up to calculate. If you have ideas/requests please share them.
I changed the formula for successful play and added a few new stats.
Updated again to include non-standard downs.

Butterflies of the Cayman Islands
This book will enable the identification of each of the 57 species of butterfly that has been recorded from the Cayman Islands. There is a description of every butterfly, stressing its most important characteristics, with photographs of living and mounted specimens. The distribution, history and biology of each species are reviewed and the plants which provide adult butterflies with nectar or feed their caterpillars are tabulated. A general introduction includes a discussion of the affinities and size of the Caymanian butterfly fauna. The three islands share most of their butterfly species but each island has uniquely characteristic elements and five subspecies live only in the Cayman Islands. Knowledge is fundamental to conservation; it is hoped that both the casual butterfly watcher and those more committed to the study of butterflies will discover much of interest in this book and thereby make a contribution to the continuing survival of these beautiful insects.

Were all those officers needed?
There's no such thing as a free march. That's apparent given the dollars spent on overtime for Sonoma County sheriff's deputies and Santa Rosa police officers monitoring the 10 or so demonstrations that have taken place since the shooting of 13-year-old Andy Lopez in October.
Combined, extra officers have cost local communities $225,000, officials said last Monday. The bulk of it, some $207,000, was for the Sheriff's Office, and much of that was spent on staffing the Oct. 29 protest, the largest of all the demonstrations. The Sheriff's Office stationed deputies in riot gear in front of its doors, on the roof and at the neighboring Hall of Justice. The protest ended up being peaceful from start to finish, leaving one to question whether all those uniforms were really necessary.
These costs also don't include the expense of closing the county government center as well as Santa Rosa City Hall on Oct. 29. What did that tally come to? As locals debate reasonable force by those in uniform, there also should be a discussion of reasonable expense — in responding to demonstrations.
Clearing the smoke on campus
As we noted in this space on Tuesday, it's been 50 years since the surgeon general declared that smoking kills. Much progress has been made in the half-century since the report linking smoking and lung cancer. There are warning labels on cigarette packs, advertising is restricted, smoking is prohibited in public buildings and many private businesses. As a result, far fewer people light up.
California's public universities are taking up the cause. Since the start of this year, smoking is prohibited on UC campuses. CSU discourages smoking, and it's forbidden inside university buildings, but individual campuses are allowed to determine whether smoking will be allowed outside. So far, the San Diego and Fullerton campuses have gone smoke-free. It would be a refreshing development if Sonoma State University extinguished the smoke, too.

1) In a rivalry game, you know both sides would come out overly amped. But one pre-game punch aside, the furd players showed better discipline. Whereas we found a way to beat ourselves throughout the game(6 penalties and 2 TO's in the 1st quarter), they channeled their emotions and executed. I can't fault our effort - the D was flying around even when the game was well out of hand. And besides the QB position, I believe we have at least comparable talent. But, we continue to have issues with our mental toughness and preparation.
2) I know there was an emphasis on being more competitive and more spirited this year. (like Tedford head-butting Price) But it seems like a disconnect to me. Teams take on the personality of their coach. Our coach is many things, but a paint-your-face-blue rah-rah guy, he is not. It seems contrived when he tries to manufacture emotion in his players. It's also a house built on a fragile foundation; when things go badly, you can only dial up your Rudy speech so many times. With Tedford's best teams, high morale came from a self-confidence born of machine-like precision and execution.
3) Key sequence of the game: After holding them to 3-0, we drive into the red zone, turn it over, and then bail them out a of 3 and out with a mind-numbing offsides penalty. This lead to Luck's long run and their 1st touchdown. On our next drive, we move the ball well until consecutive procedure penalties negate a Vereen 11-yard run and give us a 3rd and 22. Another sustained drive and TD. 17-0. Ballgame.
4) This was the game I was worried that Mansion would have in his 1st start against Wazzu. His struggles with accuracy, decision-making, and ball security have been well-chronicled already. In his tenuous defense, the pass protection didn't do him any favors. The furds were often able to get pressure on him rushing just 3 or 4 guys. This let them drop more bodies into coverage which created tighter passing windows, made his reads tougher, and often lead to our best playmakers being double covered. On his early interception, their DE beat Schwartz with a simple inside move and forced Mansion to throw off his back foot. On his 2nd INT, their pass-rusher drove our LG straight back into Mansion's face with a simple bull rush, collapsed the pocket, and forced him to scramble. This was compounded when the score rendered our running game useless and let them just tee off every play.
5) Either by demotion or injury, we missed Miller on the field. His backups, Ladner and Sparks, might have more speed, but don't have the same beef as blockers. Ladner got lit up and struggled setting the edge. Stevens has improved this year, but the coaching staff still favorsusing Ladner as an H-back. Considering how important the fullback and H-Back/TE position is for the Tedford offense, recruiting misses or inattention the past few years really hurts us now. We typically rely on walk-ons or under-recruited/converted players at FB, and we've had a # of TE's just not pan out. Losing Wark to injury (the most physical blocker as a true frosh) might have been a bigger deal than we thought.
6) I defended Ludwig's playcalling last week. However, I agree with Avi's assessment that Ludwig might be better at scheming plays than preparing the players to execute those plays. My other concern is that after three games, we continue to see him call plays that simply do not suit Mansion's present skill-set. The fade on the 2pt conversion against Oregon and the fade to Vereen matched up on Marecic come to mind. Mansion has a decent deep ball, and can make straight-line throws. He hasn't shown any ability to consistently complete a pass that requires touch, loft, and timing. I can see parts of the gameplan designed to take pressure off an inexperienced QB, (diverse running plays, short passes, wild bear) but I also see a stubborn persistence with focusing on the chess match instead of adapting to make the best use of what you've got.
7) The final score doesn't look great, but I don't fault the defense or defensive gameplan. Our offensive ineptitude combined with injuries left us susceptible to being worn down, and with two starting CB's out we've really got some matchup issues. Besides, having a perfect scheme or the right call don't matter if you're losing your one-on-ones battles. Our pass rush couldn't get to Luck and their WR's made plays against our DB's. You also have to give credit where credit is due - Luck is pretty darn good.
8) This is a contrary opinion, but I did not like calling the pass from KA for our 1st TD, nor the hook and ladder for our 2nd TD. I liked watching the plays just fine - but calling them in the 4th quarter of a blow-up game is like trying to put lipstick on a pig. Call those plays in the 1st quarter when the game is yet to be decided. Calling them in the 4th does nothing other than give UDub a heads-up. This isn't a case where scoring will make the offense or team feel better about themselves. They're gimmick plays. As painful and ugly as the result might have been, we would have been better served to develop Mansion and let him make plays out of our standard offense. My uneducated knee-jerk armchair thought is that perhaps we're better served focusing on fundamentals over big-plays on both sides of the ball.
9) There is no quick and easy fix to turn things around. But the first step is winning next week and becoming bowl-eligible. I don't care if it's the Preparation H Roto Rooter Sewage Bowl. We need the extra practice time and the recruiting visibility. Remember how Riley improved with the extra reps to lead the comeback in the Armed Forces Bowl? Mansion may not be the future at QB, but I'd rather have he have the opportunity to show us something instead of ending the season early with a whimper. Sure, there are tough questions to be answered during the off-season and I think we'd all be disappointed if there aren't some significant changes. In the immediate future, we owe the Huskies a beat-down. Go Bears!

While we are on this side of the veil, we may not know exactly what hell will be like. However, Christians have good reason to believe it is a horrible state of existence, a place that anyone in their right mind should fear.
Jesus' description of hell in the Gospels is shocking (see, for example, Luke 13:24-30; Luke 16:20-31), and it doesn't seem that the Good Shepherd would use such horrific language if hell were a place of mild punishment that most people shouldn't worry about.
It is more likely that He used such awesome and horrifying symbols to communicate an awesome and a horrifying reality, a reality in which (to paraphrase C. S. Lewis) some are on their way to becoming creatures of unimaginable beauty and joy and others to creatures that will embody all that is evil and hideous in the universe.1
Belief in a place of terrible punishment for the wicked isn't limited to the Christian tradition. People of all religious traditions—ancient and recent, major and minor, pantheistic or theistic—have believed in a terrible state of suffering for the wicked in the afterlife. There seems to be a universal sense of the reality of character formation and the fact that a spiritual abyss lurks below willful evil deeds. But while the Bible clearly teaches the reality of hell as well as nearly all other religious traditions, modern Americans—although generally expressing belief in some kind of hell—aren't very worried about it.
While there is no dominant view of Hell, two particular perspectives are popular. Four out of ten adults believe that Hell is "a state of eternal separation from God's presence" (39%) and one-third (32%) says it is "an actual place of torment and suffering where people's souls go after death." A third perspective that one in eight adults believe is that "Hell is just a symbol of an unknown bad outcome after death" (13%). Other respondents were "not sure" or said they that they do not believe in an afterlife (16%). . . .
Most Americans do not expect to experience Hell first-hand: just one-half of 1% expect to go to Hell upon their death. Nearly two-thirds of Americans (64%) believe they will go to Heaven. One in 20 adults (5%) claim they will come back as another life form, while the same proportion (5%) contend they will simply cease to exist." (Taken from the article by the Barna Research Group, "Americans Describe Their Views About Life After Death," October 21, 2003.)
It's interesting that while most people believe in some kind of hell, only a tiny percentage (one half of 1% in the Barna survey) think they are likely to go there when they die. It's probably true that throughout history more people have generally professed belief in hell than thought it would be their destination, but it's clear that the fear of hell had considerably more impact in the past than it does now. Preachers throughout the centuries preached sermons centering on the reality of hell that called for repentance and faith, and periods of great spiritual revival resulted from their preaching. Today's general lack of concern about hell is reflected by the fact that contemporary preachers seldom make hell the subject of their sermons. In fact, there is such avoidance of the topic that one gets the impression that it is viewed as too controversial and offensive to bring up.
At the same time, much of the current popular distaste for hell is based on the Western cultural reaction to the past exploitation of the fear of hell by religious and political rulers. For example, one of the issues that triggered the Reformation was the sale of indulgences to fearful masses by a Catholic hierarchy that was corrupt almost beyond imagination.2The misuse of the doctrine of hell was widespread within the authoritarian culture of the Middle Ages. Torture and sadistic forms of punishment were in common use and depictions of hell and torment were a constant artistic theme. The very people who terrorized the masses through the fear of hell, were those who most violated the gospel's standards. There was an extreme cultural reaction against these abuses during the enlightenment when cultural leaders like Voltaire, Rousseau, Gibbon, Hume, and Paine caustically exposed this kind of hypocrisy. In fact, the abuse of the truth about hell by past ruling classes has helped create the "Elmer Gantry" stereotype of the hypocritical, exploitive preacher, providing a dramatic illustration for Jesus' warning in Matthew 18:5-7.
"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!" (Matthew 18:5-7 NIV).
One of the results of the abuse and exploitation of Christian faith has been a turning away from faith in God and a fear of hell to devotion to the state and fear of social disapproval. Just as the Roman masses were once pacified with "bread and circuses," most Christians are ready to progressively surrender more and more of their dignity and freedom to a godlike state that promises them cradle-to-grave security. Despite the fact that their rulers fostered the greatest wars of world history during the past 200 years with lies and propaganda, most people worship at the altar of state religion and blindly identify the decisions and demands of the state with the will of God.
Modern technology and communication make the modern "secular city" more all-encompassing and invasive than any prior civilization. Modern people are insulated from reality by a quasi-divine social-economic system that shields them from many of the consequences of their actions. Instead of forging their own tools, weaving their own cloth, growing their own crops, or treating their own injuries as did most generations before them, we are provided with previously unknown material luxuries—as long as we are willing to trust the ruling social/economic system. Although today's economic system may collapse like a stack of cards some day, just as it did during the Great Depression, we are more than willing to trust in its illusion of a seemingly indestructible prosperity. Caught up in its illusory peace and security (Ezekiel 13:8-12), our consumer society is focused on creating and satisfying immediate desires, and tends to view serious concern with future consequences or non-material values as neurotic or mentally unbalanced.
People are naturally drawn to the bait of immediate gratification. It's our natural inclination to be focused on present needs and desires, and not to feel as urgent about things in the future—however important. Because heaven and hell aren't on the immediate horizons of most people, they tend to focus on more immediate anxieties and pleasures. Especially when everyone around them is doing the same thing.
The foolishness and shortsightedness of modern mass society penetrates to the hearts and minds of all of us. We have absorbed the values of this city that has forgotten the fear of God. We adore and fear the city rather than the Creator. God seems distant, secondary in importance at best, unreal at worst.
The church itself has been infected by the relativism of modern culture, a relativism that makes it difficult to say—or believe—that any perspective is truly "wrong." In a relativistic cultural context, about the most shocking thing one could say is that some people are not only "wrong" but on their way to hell.
As children of this age, we expect the joys of heaven in the constricted space of here-and-now. But the behavior that accompanies our demand for heaven on earth nurtures anti-Christian evil, an evil that may soon be strong enough to stage an overt assault against the Christian values we claim to revere, transforming our counterfeit "heaven" into the vestibule of hell.
Fear of hell is directly proportional to consciousness of the seriousness of life and sin.
Jesus spoke powerful images of hell to confront the self-righteous complacency of people who assumed they were secure as part of a "chosen" group and that religious play-acting was sufficient to shield them from spiritual danger. Awakening to the wickedness, hypocrisy, and corruption of the "principalities and powers" of their civilization was an essential part of becoming a disciple of Jesus (John 1:9-11; Romans 12:2; Galatians 1:4; Ephesians 2:2-3; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 1:16; Colossians 2:15; James 4:4; 1 John 5:4,19; Revelation 12:9; Revelation 13:8). The wickedness and corruption of modern civilization is obvious to anyone who is willing to see it, just as the wickedness and corruption of Roman and Jewish civilization was obvious to Jesus, and became obvious to His followers when He was scourged and nailed to a cross.
Modern people lack a sense of the seriousness of sin in particular and life in general. The degree of complacency of us who claim to be the followers of Jesus Christ is often hard to distinguish from the complacency of self-professed atheists and unbelievers. Perhaps it is hard for us to be worried about hell in this post-modern age because, like a giant parasitic plant, hell is already gripping every aspect of our lives with its tendrils. Perhaps we need to awaken to the extent of anti-Christian power and realize just how evil our civilization is before we will again take sin seriously and realize that hell is truly something to be concerned about.
- The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilization—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously—no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. And our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner—no mere tolerance or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses. If he is your Christian neighbour, he is holy in almost the same way, for in him also Christ vere latitat—the glorifier and the glorified, Glory Himself, is truly hidden (C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory).Back To Article
- The concept of indulgences is a classic instance of theological creativity, as opposed to the mere interpretation of revelations (or scriptures), and the same is true of the concept of purgatory on which indulgences were based. It all began with Saint Augustine, who deduced from passages in Maccabees (12:39-45) and 1 Corinthians (3:11-15) that upon death no one except the occasional saint goes directly to heaven. The condemned go directly to hell, but the remainder go to a slightly less painful form of hell to do penance until they are purged (hence "purgatory") of those sins that had not been offset by good works during their lifetimes. That is, a sin must be offset by sincere contrition, by confession to a priest and receipt of his absolution, and then by a sufficiency of good works. The Church taught that for nearly all people, at death their sins will greatly outweigh their good works, hence the need to suffer the terrible pains of purgatory for hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of years before they are allowed to enter heaven.
Since time in purgatory was a substitute for good works, it followed that the more good works one accomplished, the shorter one's stay in purgatory, and someone hit upon the idea that good works of benefit to the church counted more than other varieties. Indeed, the Church soon began to identify such works and assign them values as to time remitted from one's sentence to purgatory. For example, participation in a Crusade was rated as bringing complete remission from purgatory. This was extended to include those who gave the Church an amount sufficient to hire a crusader. As the Crusades petered out, the Church's desire for funds did not; hence it was promulgated that through donations or services to the Church everyone could "earn" an earlier release from the tortures of purgatory. Soon, the Church began to sell signed and sealed certificates of specific indulgences, some specifying a period of remission, others providing dispensations to commit or for having committed various sins. For example, large numbers of people purchased indulgences permitting them to eat prohibited foods on fast days; others bought permissions to keep ill-gotten property.
As time passed, and as the Church's financial ambitions continued to grow, an elaborate indulgence sales network of traveling monks developed. Then, in 1476, Pope Sixtus IV recognized how to greatly expand the market. Seeking funds to pay his many debts and to continue work on the Sistine Chapel, the pope authorized the sale of indulgences to the living that would shorten the suffering of their dead loved ones already in purgatory. As a sales slogan of the day put it, "The moment the money tinkles in the collecting box, a soul flies out of purgatory."
From the start, some members of the Church of Piety such as Peter Abelard had questioned the validity of indulgences, as did Wyclif, Hus, and Erasmus, and the practice of selling indulgences on behalf of the dead had offended Luther for several years before he wrote his famous protest. What prompted Luther to act was a massive sales campaign launched in 1517 to peddle indulgences in Germany to fund the rebuilding of Saint Peter's basilica in Rome (it had also been secretly agreed that half of the funds were to go to the archbishop of Metz to repay the immense debts he had accrued to buy his office, as well as three other bishoprics). Johannes Tetzel (ca. 1465-1519), a prominent preacher of indulgences, took charge of the campaign in areas near Wittenberg. Drafts of some of his sermons have survived, and the following passage was typical: "[D]o you not hear the voices of your dead parents and other people, screaming and saying 'Have pity on me, have pity on me . . . We are suffering severe punishments and pain, from which you could rescue us with a few alms, if you would.' " Luther was infuriated by this commercialized fear-mongering (Rodney Stark, For the Glory of God, pp. 80-81). Back To Article

What is Sicilian and Sicilian-Style Pizza?
Sicilian pizza has two variations: the kind that originated in Sicily, Italy and the version that evolved in New York and the rest of the United States. The original, authentic version from Sicily that most people refer to comes from Palermo (other regions in Sicily have other varieties, such as the scacciata ) and is called sfincione (loosely translated as "thick sponge") and is usually sold in bakeries, or panificios. It is a fluffy, spongy bread (similar to focaccia) topped with a sauce made from tomatoes, onions, herbs, and anchovies, which is then covered with bread crumbs and an optional grating of hard cheese that is baked in a square tray. In New York and the rest of the United States, what has become known as "Sicilian-Style" has the same thicker, square base, but it is usually topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Sometimes the sauce is on top of the cheese. p>
History of Sicilian Pizza
In Sicily, pizza and sfincione were popular by the mid-19th century. It is likely that sfincione evolved from the much older focaccia and sfincione evolved into what we today call Sicilian-style pizza in the United States.
Traditionally, sfincione is often served on the eve of the December 7th, before the Immaculate Conception Day, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and Good Friday, but it also enjoyed all year long. In warmer months it is usually served at room temperature.
Traditional sfincione does not use mozzarella because most of the milk produced in Sicily comes from sheep and goats, not cows. Sicily did make cows' milk cheese for export, but fresh cheeses, like mozzarella, were difficult to export due to their shorter shelf life, unlike hard cheeses.
Sicilian-style pizza was brought to the United States from Sicilian immigrants and became popular with returning soldiers who were stationed in Italy in World War II, especially in New York, Boston, and Detroit, where Detroit-style pizza is a descendant of Sicilian pizza. Italian bakeries in New York City would have had access to cheap mozzarella because of New York State's dairy cow industry in the early 20th century, so they probably began to top their Sicilian sfinciones with mozzarella. Soon, the term pizza began to encompass any type of bread-crust topped with sauce and cheese.

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. (AP) — A northeastern Pennsylvania county will pay $140,000 to the American Civil Liberties Union for legal fees over a challenge to a prosecutor's threat to charge teens in a sexting case.
Wyoming County Solicitor James Davis says the county reached a payment agreement with the ACLU on Tuesday.
The ACLU blocked prosecutors from filing charges against the girls over what former District Attorney George Skumanick said were sexually explicit photographs. The county decided not to appeal March's decision by a federal judge that blocked prosecutors from filing charges.

Litter and dog bins
Litter in a public place is unsightly, can be a danger to animals and above all makes an area unattractive to visitors. Littering is also an offence. The average fine for littering is around £95, but can be up to £2,500. Dog mess is also unsightly and a health hazard.
Litter ranges in size from a single sweet wrapper to a bag full of rubbish. The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 states that if a person drops, throws, deposits, or leaves anything that causes defacement in a public place, they are commiting a littering offence. That's why you should always either use a litter bin or take your rubbish home.
Dead animals
Our street cleansing services include the removal and disposal of dead animals from the highway.
Chewing gum removal
TOR2 can undertake programmes of works to remove chewing gum from most areas and types of surfaces.
