Officials at Mount Rainier�s Little Friends for Peace, a non-profit group that teaches nonviolence to children and adults, is working to help four families in need this holiday season.

Black Sunday
Features:Price: $5
The Hollywood Theatre celebrates the Super Bowl with a movie that imagines its near-destruction: Black Sunday. Based on the only novel by Thomas Harris not to feature the Hannibal Lecter character, the 1971 thriller, directed by John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, Ronin), tells of an unstable Vietnam vet (Bruce Dern) and femme-fatale terrorist (Marthe Keller) plotting to explode the Goodyear blimp on the 50-yard line of the big game—and the Mossad agent (Robert Shaw) who will do anything—even break international law—to stop them.

The organisers are looking for 70,000 people – from all over the world – to work in a wide variety of roles during the Games, including interpreters, receptionists, drivers, reporters and medical professionals, as well as general volunteers who will provide services such as assisting spectators at the Olympic venues.
"The volunteers are indispensable for the success of the Games, they are the soul of the event," said Flávia Fontes, head of the Rio 2016 Volunteers Programme. "A person in the city could go through the Games without seeing an athlete with their own eyes, but it would be impossible not to meet a volunteer. They play a part in everything, helping and providing information to spectators, assisting heads of state and providing operational support at the ceremonies."
The first stage of the selection process will begin with online registration at www.rio2016.com, which opens today, followed by aptitude testing and interviews.
To take part, applicants must be at least 18 years old in May 2016; have completed basic education; and be available during both the training process and the 2016 Games, which run from 5-21 August 2016.

The Mystery of the Missing Malaysian Plane Early today, CNN reported that two objects picked up by satellite in the sea off Australia might be debris from Malaysian Airlines flight 370. For 13 days, there's been no solid information about what really happened to Flight 370, which is still missing. But daily news coverage continues—on TV, radio and in major newspapers. CNN has hardly covered anything else — and audiences have responded by tuning in. CNN's Anderson Cooper beat Bill O'Reilly on Fox News, a rare event in the cable news world.
A Climate Change Deal in China, and Calls for Change in Mexico The historic deal between the US and China promises to set the most ambitious carbon reduction standards ever from the world's top two greenhouse gas producers. Also, the case of 43 missing students in Mexico has made headlines around the world. What would it take to break the hold of drugs and political corruption in Mexico?

Ramseys, Pletcher still out in front at Saratoga
Send this to a friend
- Adam Sichko
- Reporter- Albany Business Review
- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
A Houston oilman struck it rich at this weekend's big horse race at Saratoga Race Course.
But even that wasn't enough to surpass the current top owners, a couple who gave rising star Chad Brown, a local resident, his start as a thoroughbred trainer.
The thoroughbred races in Saratoga Springs, NY, are the premier sports event in the Capital Region, attracting more than 900,000 patrons last year.
The meet is a congregation of high-powered executives, sports stars and Hollywood celebrities. That congregation of fame and fortune is reaching a new level tonight, when elite buyers will pay six or seven figures for promising horses at the Fasig-Tipton Co. Inc. auction house, across the street from the race track.
T. Paul Bulmahn, chairman and CEO of ATP Oil & Gas Corp. in Houston (OTC: ATPAQ), won the weekend's big race—the Whitney Handicap Invitational, named after the family that includes Saratoga Springs horse owner, philanthropist and socialite Marylou Whitney.
That was good enough to vault Bulmahn's GoldMark Farm into second place among all owners, with $470,000 of total winnings.
Right now, Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey are the highest-earning owners at Saratoga. They have $564,000 in the bank and 22 top-3 finishes, more than anyone else (they've run 35 horses, also more than anyone else).
The Ramseys have hundreds of horses on their farm outside of Lexington, Kentucky. Their businesses have included FM radio stations, cell phone franchises and real estate.
Brown, the horse trainer born in Mechanicville, counts the Ramseys as among his first owners when he started in 2007.
Brown, now 34, ranks second among all trainers at Saratoga so far, with 10 wins and $842,000 of prize money.
Adam reports breaking news and covers health care, manufacturing, government and sports business.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
A Brooklyn photographer alleged that he was a victim of police brutality last week after an altercation with members of Brooklyn's 70th precinct left him in handcuffs and both his cell phone and camera damaged.
Photojournalist Shimon Gifter had received word that an officer in Flatbush had called for backup and drove to the scene on Avenue M and East 15th Street. By the time Gifter arrived the incident appeared to have been resolved peacefully. Several moments later Gifter observed police officers stopping a group of juveniles. Camera in hand, Gifter began to film the proceedings until a police officer approached and told him that because the incident involved minors, he was not allowed to take video.
"I pointed out that it wasn't illegal for me to take video in public," recalled Gifter, who said he was acquainted with the officer and that their short but friendly discussion ended with a fist pump.
Yet moments later, the photographer found himself pushed up against a nearby wall, handcuffed and told he was being placed under arrest after being approached by a group of police officers who allegedly grabbed his camera and deleted the contents of its memory before dropping it on the floor. Gifter, who says he identified himself as a member of the media and had an official NYPD press badge in his pocket, claims that police also damaged his cell phone during the altercation, which ended with his being released with a warning.
Calls to Deputy Inspector Eric Rodriguez of the 70th precinct were not returned; the office of the NYPD's deputy commissioner of public information did not provide any information.
Although Gifter expressed outrage and frustration with local politicians at their silence on the incident, both Assemblyman Dov Hikind and Councilman David Greenfield have voiced their support for Gifter and have pledged to pursue the episode with the police department.
"I was shocked that Shimon Gifter was allegedly treated like a criminal while performing his job as a credentialed member of the press," said Greenfield. "Shimon is a well-known and respected member of the news media. That's why I have personally asked Police Commissioner Ray Kelly to investigate this incident and take appropriate action."

Hail Varsity is a new company dedicated to covering Husker athletics by publishing a high quality magazine, website and radio show that airs in Lincoln, Columbus and Omaha. Hail Varsity Magazine provides a unique approach to Husker coverage that includes stunning photography, expert analysis and historical features. It publishes 16 issues per year, including weekly editions during football season.
Hail Varsity is owned by Aaron Babcock and his wife Jen, which makes it the only Nebraska-owned Husker publication. Hail Varsity's team includes editor Mike Babcock(no relation), website editor Brandon Vogel, designer Quentin Lueninghoener and radio host Chris Schmidt.
What changes have you seen in the industry and your company in the past few years?
The biggest change we have seen is how people consume information. That's why we present our partners with the opportunity to reach Husker fans via a number of platforms, including print, radio, Internet and social media. Social media has given businesses an incredible opportunity to engage with fans anywhere in the world and that is truly exciting.
What do you see happening with the business in the next five years?
We have some pretty lofty goals. We hope to become a household name for Husker fans around the country and to build on this vibrant audience. We are fortunate to have subscribers in 45 states after publishing our first issue in August, so we are very excited about that. We have a long way to go, but it appears that we are definitely filling a need within the Husker community. It's also important to us that we find ways to give back to the community that has supported us.
What is one of the biggest challenges that your company has faced?
Like any start-up, the challenges are never-ending. Between growing circulation, finding investors, meeting with advertisers and marketing the brand, there isn't much free time. Our decisions have to be swift. I suspect recognizing the difference between opportunities and distractions is a challenge for every business owner, but it's even more crucial in the early stages of a business. I've been fortunate that the one thing we haven't had to battle is finding quality talent. We've assembled an incredible team, which makes my life much easier.
What do you think makes you different from other companies similar to yours?
We are as passionate about the Huskers as our audience. Our goal is to create an emotional connection between our readers and Nebraska athletics. We believe that we have created one of the highest quality collegiate sports publications in the country. If our readers feel like they are on the sidelines with our photographers or having a one-on-one conversation with the players, then we have succeeded.
What do you like about doing business in Lincoln?
I feel like there is an incredible amount of energy in the community and we have seen a genuine desire and willingness by the community to help us succeed.
What kind of community organizations/groups are you involved with?
I have been a member of Lincoln South Rotary for a couple of years and recently joined the Lincoln and Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
Do you have a business philosophy or mission statement? In addition to putting out the best possible product, it's important for our customers and clients to completely trust us. We have great appreciation for every one of our subscribers and each of our advertisers. They all entrust us with hard-earned money and we take that seriously.

OSCEOLA, Iowa (AP) — Republican Rick Perry is challenging his exclusion from Virginia's primary ballot.
The Texas governor's presidential campaign filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court in Virginia in an attempt to get his name on Virginia's March 6 primary ballot. Perry failed to collect the required 10,000 signatures.
At present, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are the only GOP presidential candidates who have qualified for Virginia's ballot. Newt Gingrich also failed to gather enough signatures.
In explaining the lawsuit, Perry campaign spokesman Ray Sullivan says Virginians should be able to choose among all the candidates — not just two. Sullivan says Virginia's ballot access rules are among the most onerous in the country and that the 10,000-signature requirement is unrealistic.

Boeing 787 is back in service
Send this to a friend
- Staff Wichita Business Journal
The Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner made its first commercial flight on Saturday since a months-long grounding.
The Wall Street Journal reports Ethiopian Airlines Flight 801 left from the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa and landed in Nairobi, Kenya.
The aircraft's launch customer, All Nippon Airways Co., has not yet placed its Dreamliners back in service. The airline says it's testing each aircraft after it receives a battery fix.
The 787 had been grounded since Jan. 16, following two overheating incidents tied to the plane's lithium-ion batteries. The Federal Aviation Administration approved battery adjustments on April 19 that Boeing has begun to install.

Linebackers coach, assistant linebackers coach hired Aaron Wilson
The Jacksonville Jaguars have hired linebackers coach Robert Saleh and assistant linebackers coach Scottie Hazelton.
"We are excited about the two new additions to the coaching staff," Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. "I have known both men for a number of years and I know what they will bring to our staff. Both men are extremely hard working individuals and have a passion and desire to help our team get better."
Saleh, 35, has coached in the NFL for nine seasons, spending the past three seasons as the defensive quality control coach for the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
Saleh worked under Bradley and Jaguars defensive line coach Todd Wash in Seattle.
Prior to joining the Seahawks, Saleh spent six seasons with the Houston Texans, including the final two as the assistant linebackers coach.
Saleh spent four seasons coaching in the collegiate ranks, working at Georgia, Central Michigan and Michigan State.
A veteran of 18 years of coaching experience on the collegiate, Hazelton previously served one season as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Nevada after being named to the post in January of 2013. Hazleton came to Nevada after one season at Southern California where he coached linebackers for the Trojans.
Hazelton, 40, spent five seasons at North Dakota State, the first three years coaching the defensive line before he was promoted to defensive coordinator for the final two seasons.

Hawke's Legend: The true story of the yard glass yarn
ALP Abroad's pilgrimage to Oxford has uncovered the true location, and story behind Bob Hawke's record breaking feat; drinking a yard glass of ale in under 12 seconds.
HAVING lived in Oxford for over seven years now, I like to think I know a bit about the place. One of my favourite spots to take visiting expats has always been the Turf Tavern, a quintessentially English boozer with a distinctly Australian claim to fame. Or so I thought.
For many years now, I have believed the Turf Tavern to be the place that Australian living legend Bob Hawke drank a yard glass of ale in under 12 seconds, breaking a Guinness World Record and completing a feat that has become part of the fabric of not only the Labor Party, but Australian history. I've even told all of you to visit the Turf to see the chalkboard commemorating Bob's achievement in a previous article. Well, I thought, it's in Wikipedia so it must be true.
The quest to find the Holy Grail
As Tuesday 5 March marked the 30th anniversary of the Hawke government winning power, and the man himself commencing the longest term of a Labor Prime Minister to date, it seems it's now time to set the record straight. I joined the ALP Abroad pilgrimage to Oxford on their "quest to find the location of the Holy Grail", the REAL location where Bob completed his beer-conquering feat around 60 years ago.
Sure, it set a world record, but why such interest in this one solitary event in the life of one of Australia's most influential individuals? An Oxford graduate, a Rhodes Scholar, Reserve Bank board member and president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), Bob himself has suggested that this one single exploit — setting a beer-drinking speed record — may have contributed to his political success more than any other achievement, by endearing him to a voting population with a strong beer culture.
We were lucky enough to have the President of the Oxford University Student's Union, who also happens to be Australian, lead us on our quest. Our first stop was University College, where Bob studied as a Rhodes Scholar from 1953 to 1956. Rhodes Scholarships are known as "the world's most prestigious scholarship", awarded not only for academic achievement, but also strength of character. Perhaps it is for this reason that many recipients find political success following their time at Oxford. Other politicians to be awarded the scholarship include former US president Bill Clinton, former WA premier Geoff Gallop, former Deputy Prime Minister and current Australian Ambassador to the US Kim Beazley, as well as current opposition leader Tony Abbott.
Tracing the tradition
So why did Bob do it in the first place? Oxford University is an institution steeped in quaint tradition, and even more so in the 1950's when Bob was a student. Students take their evening meal in the dining hall of their college, and are required to attend wearing a gown. Back in Bob's day, if you turned up not wearing a gown, you were subject to a challenge against the 'sconce master' of the college. "Sconcing" is a tradition unique to Oxford University, which demands a person drink a tankard of alcohol, usually ale, as penance for a breach of etiquette — such as forgetting to wear one's gown to dinner! The story goes that Bob had to drink the yard of ale from a sconce pot faster than the sconce master, or face buying a round for all present. Being unable to afford to buy the round, Bob had no choice but to beat the sconce master. And beat him he did, setting a world record and carving a place in Australian history at the same time.
"Being unable to afford to buy the round, Bob had no choice but to beat the sconce master. And beat him he did."
So what did this mean for our quest? It meant that despite what Wikipedia or the Turf Tavern may claim, that it was actually in the dining hall of University College that Bob conquered that tankard. For it would have been a tankard, made of silver or pewter, not a yard glass that Bob drank from that day, making the challenge even harder. Apparently students are not trusted with these drinking vessels any more, and they are used only for decoration at the college master's tables from time to time.
Perfecting a party trick
Since that fateful day in Oxford, necking beer has become a bit of a party trick for our Bob. Another famous drinking incident took place in 1972, when he downed another yard of beer in the presence of then Labor leader Gough Whitlam. He has also completed a recap of the feat during the 1990's, in the very dining hall of University College where it first took place — this time with his own portrait looking down on him, from its pride of place above the fire. And most recently he knocked back a large lager at the SCG in January 2012, this at the age of 82. The clip has had over a million hits on YouTube, as well as stirring up much patriotic admiration in the hearts of many of us.
Bob Hawke was the Prime Minister of Australia when I was born, which is probably true for many of you reading this. So it's easy to forget or even take for granted some of Hawkes' achievements and contributions during his term of Australian Prime Minister from 1983 until 1991. Medicare, outlawing of sexual discrimination in the workplace, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC), protection of the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park from uranium mining, the proclamation of 'Advance Australia Fair' as the national anthem and green and gold as the national colours are just some of the notable legacies of the Hawke government.
Amongst all these achievements was Bob Hawkes' ability to appeal to the working people, to be somebody they could identify with and believe in, a larrikin, but with intellect and ability. Many people voted for Bob Hawke because they loved him, at times his approval rating was above 70% – compared to today where it seems that people are voting for who they dislike the least, or perceive to be the lesser of two evils. With September's federal election looming, I'm sure that both Labor and the Liberals would love to capture just some of the same likeability and appeal to voters that Bob Hawke had back in the Eighties.
Drinking a yard glass of ale in under 12 seconds probably won't do the trick — besides, it's already been done. However, I'm probably not alone in thinking that our current political leaders could learn a thing or two from Bob Hawke about engaging the Australian public, and most importantly, getting their vote.

British education in crisis? Literacy and numeracy skills of young people in UK among lowest in developed world
Pupils worse at maths and English than grandparents with England 22nd for literacy and 21st for numeracy out of 24 countries

Richard Garner has been Education Editor of The Independent for 12 years and writing about the subject for 34 years. Before becoming a journalist, he worked as a disc jockey in London pubs and clubs and for a hospital radio station. His main hobbies are cricket (watching these days) and theatre. On his days off, he is most likelt to be found at Lord's or the King's Head Theatre Club.
Education Editor
Tuesday 08 October 2013
Young people in the UK lag behind most of the Western world in their mastering of the basic skills of literacy, numeracy and IT, according to an influential study published today.
The report, by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, shows there has been no improvement in performance in the basic between today's 16 to 24-year-olds and their grandparents' age (55 to 65-year-olds).
Indeed, they are the only ones in the western world to fare worse than their older peers in the tests in the basics.
The findings may have major implications for the UK's ability to compete in the global economy in future years - threatening it with a major skills shortage, according to the OECD's deputy director of education and skills and the coordinator of the project, Dr Andreas Schleicher.
They also put a question mark over the validity of improving exam results in the UK and lend credence to claims made by Education Secretary Michael Gove - among others - of grade inflation, particularly at GCSE level, over the past decades.
"Today's young people (in the UK) are not any better skilled than people in the older generation," Dr Schleicher said. "Young people in the UK are considerably behind their peers in other countries.
"One of the reasons why the older generation does reasonably well is that they keep learning and improving their skills - but young people in the UK lag quite a bit behind in basic skills."
The report concludes: "In England, adults aged 55 to 65 perform better than 16 to 24-year-olds in both literacy and numeracy. "In fact, England is the only country where the oldest age group has higher proficiency in both literacy and numeracy than the youngest age group after other factors, such as gender, socio-economic backgrounds and type occupations, are taken into account.
The figures show that, in England and Northern Ireland (the two parts of the UK to take part in the tests), 16 to 24-year-old scored 266 on average in the literacy test - putting them third from bottom in the 24 nation league table with only Spain and Italy behind them. Japan topped the table with a score of 299.
In numeracy, the UK 16 to 24-year-olds scored 257 - putting them fourth from the bottom with Spain, Italy and the United States behind them. The US was last.
The England/Northern Ireland figures for young people compared with an average score of 272 and 262 respectively when all 16 to 65-year-olds' scores were counted up.
In addition, a breakdown shows the UK now provides just four per cent of the highest flyers of all the countries taking the test compared with eight per cent of all 55 to 65-year-olds.
The figures were immediately seized upon by Conservatives as evidence that young people educated under the last Labour government were "amongst the least literate and numerate in the developed world".
Skills Minister Matthew Hancock said: "This shocking report show England has some of the least literate and numerate young adults in the developed world. These are Labour's children, educated under a Labour government and force fed a diet of dumbing down and low expectations.
"We are fixing the problem with a more rigorous curriculum, better teaching, higher standards and tougher discipline."
Mike Harris, head of skills at the Institute of Directors, added: ""The OECD's report makes truly depressing reading. It underlines the credibility gap between the picture painted by decades of rises in exam pass rates and employers' real-world experience of interviewing and employing people,
"Too frequently, impressive examination results seem to act as a false barometer of actual attainment and competence."
The report concluded: "The implication for England and Northern Ireland is that the stock of skills available to them is bound to decline over the next decades ubless significant action is taken to improve the skills proficiency amongst young people."
The tests - in numeracy, literacy and IT skills - were carried out on 5,000 adults in each participating country and aimed to show how much use adults made of the skills they had learnt at school in the workplace.
They showed -as well - a starker link between people's performance and their backgrounds in England and Northern Ireland. Adults who had at least one parent involved in a university-level education scored 26.7 points higher in literacy than those with parents who did not pursue such qualifications. This compared to an international average of 18 points difference between the two groups. In numeracy, the figures were even more stark - a 31.1 point difference in the UK compared with 19.5 internationally.
"It is deeply worrying that our young people are no better skilled than their parents' generation," said Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University and College Union. "If we are to stay competitive in the global market we need a strong supply of highly-skilled workers.
"The poor performance of the UK in terms of skills is linked to lower investment in post-16 education including in colleges and universities, as well as a culture which makes lifelong learning difficult and expensive for those who need it most."
The crumb of comfort, though, that the UK can take from the league tables is that it is more effective in using the skills of its highly performing adults than most other countries.
