Kansas FFA Foundation Adds New Executive Director
The Kansas FFA Foundation is pleased to announce the hiring of Jake Worcester as its Executive Director. The addition of its first full-time staff person will position the Foundation to pursue its goals of supporting agricultural education and the Kansas FFA Association.
"Bringing enthusiasm, creativity and a background in not-for-profit fundraising make Jake Worcester a great choice to lead the Kansas FFA Foundation," said Jerrod Westfahl, chairman of the Kansas FFA Foundation Board of Trustees. "We look forward to working with Jake in moving the Foundation forward in its support of Kansas FFA members."
The hiring of a full-time director is the Foundation's first step toward raising over $450,000 in its initial three years to serve Kansas FFA members. By investing this money in leadership and career skills development efforts, the Foundation partners will have a direct impact on the future leadership of Kansas.
"I am extremely pleased and excited to be back on the 'FFA team,'" said Worcester. "I look forward to helping Kansas FFA continue to grow and increase its impact on Kansas FFA members."
Worcester's experience in agricultural education has been extensive. A native of Hill City, he served as president of the same local FFA chapter his father had been active in. While an agricultural economics student at Kansas State University, Worcester served as Kansas FFA Vice President.
"FFA is extraordinarily valuable to students in Kansas," said Worcester. "It continues to be relevant, challenging, and educational. Most importantly, FFA is preparing leaders for the future of the agriculture industry and rural Kansas."
Worcester's duties will include day-to-day operations of the Foundation, identifying and soliciting new partners for the Kansas FFA Association and agricultural education programs, and building support for Kansas FFA throughout the state business community.
The mission of the Kansas FFA Foundation is to enable Kansas Agriculture Education and FFA programs to EMPOWER FUTURE LEADERS AND THEIR PASSIONS. The Kansas FFA Foundation will do this by developing and sustaining collaborative relationships resulting in financial support and service opportunities.
The mission of the National FFA Organization is to make a postive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premiere leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

Really, Jennifer, cranks and insurgents? Why not call Tea Partiers terrorists, that seems to be where you are going. Also, please explain to me why it is beneficial to any tax payer to support incumbents who have done nothing but increased the power of government in our lives.Frankly, you just don´t understand the Tea Party. It is not a group. It is an idea. Most of us don´t want to belong to any group. We have had enough of that kind of disappointment. We do, however, know and understand what is going on in Washington. It is a cesspool of corruption, greed and waste and we are sick and tired of funding it. You desperately need to marginalize the Tea Party. You call is names and infer we are not smart enough to know the nuances of politics. However, there is one thing we know beyond a shadow of a doubt. Washington is corrupt and men like McConnell and Boehner and all their fellow career politicians won´t fix it. It is not in their best interests. So tell me, Jennifer, when someone is robbing you, lying to your face, and not only ignores you, but believes you are too stupid to figure it out, why would you support them. Seems to me, your real beef with the "Tea Party" is that we have figured out what is going on and we intend to do something about it. We are not the lunatic fringe. We are ticked off tax payers who have had enough.

Wow, it sounds like Jennifer Rubin really hates the tea party. But news to her, the Tea Party is still alive and well. What happened in Neveda may not be called Tea Party but it was organized on the same principles.

Like Obama sycophants, the Tea Party to these people is whatever they project it to be. The Tea Party is a phantom that exists somewhere on the edge of the Twilight Zone. They don´t know any Tea Party supporters nor do they wish to BUT they surely know what they are. In Ms. Rubin´s words, they are cranks and losers. They are like "gasp" a bunch of Sarah Palins.

TEA Party means people like your mother, father, aunt, cousin, brother, the little old lady down the street who share the belief that we are Taxed Enough Already.They believe in the Constitution and want everyone to obey existing law. (Hear that Obama, Holder, illegals).I am tired of articles painting TEA party as extreme..is believing in the Constitution extreme?But we have the extreme left wing communists who would grow government even larger, and control every aspect of the individual´s life. (they already have us by the short hairs with Healthcare)..and will soon move in to control water (oops already doing that in California to protect a smelt) and control our food supply (oops already doing that with beef cattle that graze).

In the interest of providing balance to #14/15´s accusations, I did a site search. There have been twelve Jennifer Rubin articles posted here in the last 30 days. Eight L-Dotters posted them. I believe from those numbers we can assume a fairly wide interest in what Ms. Rubin says.

#18 is posting a logical fallacy presupposing that the TP is not a big tent that welcomes ALL people, therefore must be bigots, cranks, racists and homophobes. It´s same as asking "What´s wrong with black people?" or "Why do you hate homosexuals?", or "Why do you want to poison the water?"No one here nor on any other TP-affiliated site, article or rally has inferred that ALL are not welcome to participate in reigning in an out of control government.LIFELIBERTYPURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

#18: the TEA Party IS big tent! It is anti-corruption, cronyism and elitism. The establishment is against the TEA Party and has been for all of those things. They are entrenched and they don´t give a hang about their constituents."Big Tent" to Jennifer Rubin and the establishment she supports (until they get the nomination, that is) means everyone shuts up and thinks the same. It is the opposite of big tent.

The TP need not defend it´s principled positions and traditional values, especially to the brainless cranks who rail against it. BTW, what does the GOP have on offer for voters? A wind bag who presides over a solid blue State both bankrupt and hemorrhaging population plus another Bush nobody who most recently took the side of foreign illegals against that of our own people; an ultimate act of gross disloyalty to plain American citizens. That utterance de facto disqualifies this jackass from any political office. Anyone notice the shrieks of outrage from the R Est and the likes of Rubin about this pious ´act of love´ blather? Me neither.

I just do not understand this hatred of the Tea Party. All they´ve done is point out the collusion between the GOP and the Democrats to maintain their power at the expense of the people.The elite of both parties are terrified that the message of the Tea Party will reach their voters, hence their constant description of them as cranks and losers.Hey elite GOPers! Guess who the real losers are? Why don´t you look in the mirror? The next time you win a national election we´ll take you seriously. In the meantime you should be on your knees kissing the hands of the Tea Partiers who are keeping you from being totally irrelevant. Frankly, those of you who tow the Karl Rove/establishment GOP line are the real cranks and losers. Your time is done, now get out of our way.Oh, and don´t let the screen door hit you on your way out.

J.C. Chandor is directing the drama, which will co-star Albert Brooks and Alfred Molina
Colombian actress Catalina Sandino Moreno, who earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in "Maria Full of Grace," has joined the cast of J.C. Chandor's drama "A Most Violent Year," TheWrap has learned.
Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain star as the owners of a heating oil business whose ambition collides with the criminal element in New York in 1981, when the city saw a surge in violent crime.
See photos: 2014 Movie Preview: 60 Upcoming Winter & Spring Films – From 'Paranormal' Sequel to 'Transcendence'
Albert Brooks and Alfred Molina co-star in the film, which was acquired for domestic distribution by A24 during Sundance. Chandor is producing with Before the Door's Neal Dodson and Washington Square Films' Anna Gerb, while Participant's Jeff Skoll is also involved in a producing capacity.
Participant Media and Image Nation Abu Dhabi are co-financing "A Most Violent Year," which is Chandor's third film following "Margin Call" and "All Is Lost."

She recently wrapped a pair of horror movies — the Blumhouse production "Incarnate" with Aaron Eckhart and "Home," which hails from writer-director Nicholas McCarthy ("The Pact").

- No more buffet, but still great brunch with a viewemenohDined on 11/16/2014Enjoyed brunch here for the second time this year. Unfortunately, they no longer offer the wonderful buffet we enjoyed at Easter, but the regular brunch menu was excellent. I do wish they would offer some better options for kids, as choices for picky eaters are limited on the regular menu. Crab omelet and applewood bacon were delicious. Appealing nautical decor and cannot beat the view!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's backadchotinVIPDined on 10/18/2014Hemingway's was one of our favorite stops on trips to the Eastern Shore but had fallen on hard times. Now under new management it's redone and very attractive. Tables have a view of the Bay Bridge through large windows. We watched private planes take off and land at the neighboring air field while waiting for lunch. We shared what Hemingway's calls 50/50 soup; a blend of cream of crab soup with Maryyland crab soup which is tomato based and more like a crab vegetable soup. The blend won raves. It cut down on the heaviness of traditional cream of crab while retaining its richness. Then one of us had the Hemingway's burger which was fabulous and the other two shared a crab cake appetizer which won raves for it's lack of filler.

- Dining with a viewCapsFanVIPDined on 8/11/2014The evening was lovely, so the terrace was a perfect spot to view the Bay and enjoy good food. Sautéed rockfish with crab imperial was very good.Special Features:
- Sunday Dinner by the Bayglassiter1120Dined on 8/10/2014My family had a birthday dinner there for my brother and we had a very nice table with a great view of the Bay and the Bay Bridge. Unfortunately our waitress was not so great. She seemed preoccupied. The restaurant wasn't even crowed so she wasn't really busy with a bunch of other tables. She seemed in a hurry for us to order and pay our bill. We did not like that. Fortunately the food made up for her less than desirable attitude. We will go back again since we do enjoy the view and the food. I just hope that the next time we get a better waitress.Special Features:
- Great view, tiny portionsNalfienDined on 8/8/2014The view is absolutely amazing. One of, if not the, best in the area. However, while the server was friendly, she was frequently unavailable, and the food was very slow coming out. The food itself, the portion sizes were laughable for the price. Even given that it was sea food, paying $23 for a half portion of unseasoned, over-cooked, grilled Mahi, and a handful of very small asparagus spears, which was considered a "double" portion, is terrible. Overall a great location, but the food isn't worth it.Special Features:
- The following 214 reviews are from the Hemingway's Restaurant - Bay Bridge Marina reviews archive.
- One of my Favorites!GraceDined on 7/31/2014Hemingways is one of my favorite restaurants. Great views, nice employees, fab outdoor dining/bar and excellent food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Nice, but a little pricey.AsYouWishDined on 7/27/2014My wife and I took my parents there by boat, the dock help was tentative and polite. The floating dock made it easy for my parents boarding and un-boarding the boat. We sat on the upper level deck. It was hot, sunny, with a light breeze. Rain was in the forecast, buy no rain clouds in sight, the manager would not allow the shade umbrellas to be put up even though they were bolted to the ground, seemed a little over precautious. The food was good, I was taken back by the bill at the end of the meal. $168.00 + $32 tip =$200 for 4 people is a little steep for Lunch. I thought "the special" wahoo filet was pricey for a lunch and the mixed drinks were overpriced. I will be careful and ask lots of questions next time. Yes -Next time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular viewBaycruiserDined on 7/26/2014One of our favorite spots. Nothing beats the view at sunset. Food is good and so is the service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Glad I picked itOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/26/2014Made a reservation here for myself, wife, and another couple without ever having been here. Reviews had me concerned, but everything worked out perfectly. The location is beautiful. We lucked out with perfect evening weather for outdoor dining. We could watch boats on the bay, cars on the bridge, and even a few small planes landing at a little airport nearby. Far enough away from all of that so that it was not noisy. There was some decent live music on the patio below. The host staff was very accommodating, and our waitress, Lindsey, was very pleasant, professional, and on-the-ball. I had the Asian sea bass entree after the beer-braised clams appetizer. Both were good. No complaints. Decor indoors looked very nice. Would go back.Special Features:
- Amazing sunsetCOdinerDined on 7/25/2014Great character in this restaurant. The crab cakes are better broiled than fried. The rockfish imperial was amazing.Special Features:
- Great view ok foodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/19/2014We made reservations and came by boat on a Saturday night. We sat outside on the upper deck. There was live music below still playing from HH I think and of course the great view. Our server was friendly and attentive. The appetizers were good (fried calamari and fried oysters). The entrees were all just ok. It's a fun place to go for the ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hemingways great views and foodjuneauDined on 7/19/2014What a lovely outdoor deck. Views overlooking the Chesapeake Bay and expansive bridge. With the sun setting and light breezes, it added a nice touch to enjoy the freshly prepared seafood selections. Try it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Peters visitPalomineDined on 7/13/2014While the scenic spot is hard to beat, the service was far below par. One of our party wanted a frozen margarita. He was told they were only available in the lower deck bar, 20 feet away. Come on! We had to go to the waiters station to get silverware and napkins for our appetizer. Condiments needed to be requested twice before they showed up. The food was ok, but we just had an appetizer,salads and tuna. If we go again, it will be for drinks to watch the sunset and go home for dinner.Special Features:
- Hemingway's is AWESOME!!!EnchantingDined on 7/13/2014Sat outside on the deck overlooking the bay on a beautiful evening with 6 other friends! The view, service and food could not have been more superb! The Seafood Pot Pie was to die for, my husband wanted to get another one for dessert!!!! Drinks were very good and the service was spectacular- our every need was anticipated! Love, love, love this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ViewsHBRavlaxDined on 7/5/2014First time dining in Stevensville. Great waterfront views. Friendly staff. Food was good. Kitchen took a little longer then expected but looking out over the water made the wait worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely night at HemmingwaysfoodwithaviewDined on 7/4/2014Was a fun evening for our family..even the 1 year old had a good time..Great food and wonderful view.Special Features:
- never dissatisfied....PLUMNUTZIIDined on 6/26/2014IF "JEN" EVER IS NOT GOING TO STAY THERE, WELL, YOU MAY AS WELL CLOSE DOWN. SHE IS YOUR GOLD NUGGET! THIS IS ONLY MY HUMBLE OPINION, BUT I'VE BEEN A HEMINGWAY'S PATRON SINCE '03 AND SINCE '09 ITS BEEN A REAL TREAT TO TRAVEL FROM CAMBRIDGE AND NOW EASTON TO VISIT AND REMEMBER HOW I USE TO RUN THE BAY MORNING, NOON AND YES "MIDNITE". ITS MY WATERING HOLE AND I FEEL AT HOME HERE. COFFEE BLACK AND FREEZIN' COLD OUTSIDE, IT MAKES NO DIFF. F.Y.I. I WAS YOUR "FIRST" CUSTOMER ALONG WITH MY CUZ MIKE AT REOPENING APRIL 28, 2011 AT 1600 HOURS! FANTASTIC PLACE, LOVE IT!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely view of the bay..annaVIPDined on 6/24/2014This restaurant is ideal spot if you just want a relaxed evening watching the Sunset.. lovely view of the bay if you get a good spot outdoors. We had appetizers only and I highly recommend the thai chilli shrimp. The crab cake sandwich was also good. Plenty of crab meat and no fillers. We also had the crab dip fondue - agree with the previous reviewer - tasted very much like "soup". They closed the kitchen early and we could not sit out until late and have dinner!Special Features:
- ServiceOutToLunchDined on 6/21/2014The view is what you go for, the service and food are fine; when you put all 3 together, definitely worth the trip.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/12/2014very quite and enjoyable evening. Waitress Alli was excellent. Loved the views from entire restaurant.Special Features:
- You pay for the 'ambiance'CiscoDined on 6/9/2014Whether you want in-door dining with AC (abundant windows), elevated patio a' fresco, Tiki bar atmosphere, or sitting watching the sun set from an Androck chair, this is the place. Honestly, with a location such as this, the food is secondary. Hemingway's is one of the few remaining places that still use white table cloths – and provides glasses instead of plastic cups when dining outside!! Great place to re-kindle a relationship, or start one ;-) My Fish 'n Chips were burnt, not golden crispy, but still good enough to eat. The drinks are expensive and weak. Service was excellent; everyone had a smile on their face and doing more than expected. Prices are a bit higher, but includes the ticket of admission for beautiful sunsets!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food/ViewcedesladyDined on 6/8/2014Its right on the water near the Bay Bridge, so its an amazing view and the food is very tasteful and fresh. The staff is nice and the atmosphere is beautiful. I will def recommend this to a friend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/7/2014Would love if the downstairs area still served food. It's one of our favorite places to have a drink and grab something to eat on a summer night. Now that they are not serving food downstairs we will probably wont cross the bridge to go. There were a lot of open tables upstairs but it wasn't easy to get a table, we were turned away at first.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will be going again.FirstTimerDined on 6/6/2014The food and the server were just outstanding. The view was great. Be careful, the online menu differs from the in-house menu - i.e. crab stuff shrimp is on the online menu and not the house menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bay Bridge BeautyOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/31/2014Hemingway's Restaurant has one of the best water view locations we've enjoyed. Along with the great view, the food, drink and service made the overall experience great. The menu has something for everyone. This location would be a good choice for lunch or dinner. We had dinner and drinks with a beautiful sunset view. The waterfront atmosphere is perfect special occasions, such as romantics dates, weddings, graduations, birthdays, and even closing that business deal. The restaurant facility is large with plenty of inside seating along with wrap deck and patio areas. but does not seem overwhelming. I highly recommend Hemmingway's Restaurant when considering a new and special dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bethDined on 5/31/2014I made a reservation online, very convenient. The staff was very accommodating and our server was attentive in just the right (balanced) way. She didn't hover, yet was always there when we wanted something. The food was superb. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nurse1980Dined on 5/30/2014Menu on internet website not the same as restaurant. Menu was not very big. Lobster tail was quite petite, and that was not the way it was described on menu Only 1 choice of vegatable-theirs! Nice/OK but I would not pay those prices again for the same deal. With 6 people at the table, no one was "full" when we left. Small dessert menu. We went somewhere else for dessert Nice staff
- Never got to eat!UnhappyLocalDined on 5/25/2014I wish I could say that the service matched the amazing view. But that is impossible. I had a reservation for 8pm for 4 people. Fortunately I have a friend who's son works there because as I was getting ready to go I was told that they were closing early and my friends son was being sent home. I called to confirm and was rudely responded to by the hostes when I questioned why I had just received a confirmation for my 8pm reservation just an hour before and now was being told they were closing early and "good luck on finding another place for dinner." Fortunately Rustico was open and although short staffed the manager was more than willing to take us in last minute with a full dining room.Special Features:
- Great food and viewBaycruiserDined on 5/24/2014Food and service are great. The view across the bay is spectacular.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spotKineraDined on 5/21/2014Great food, view and service! Hemmingways is one of the best spots on the bay. The crab dip is excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Table with a viewsailordudeDined on 5/20/2014Of what's available on Kent Island I like Hemmingway's the best. The food is okay, B-, the service is good. The job they have done renovating the place is outstanding, and includes a roomy open deck overlooking the Bay when weather permits, from which diners enjoy a sensational view of the Bay Bridge. For me, being at Hemmingway's at sunset, watching the car lights come on as the sun disappears behind the bridge is worth the price of admission.Special Features:
- Fine Dining on the waterFINERDINERDined on 5/18/2014Other than the menu, one of the main selling points for Hemingway's is THE VIEW! It is absolutely incredible and worth the drive from Northern Virginia. A friend and I were referred to this gem by other friends as THE PLACE to stop for a bite when returning home from the beach. Our first stop was two years ago and we have never regretted making the stop. We plan to try to organize a 'GIRLS' DAY OUT' this summer with Hemingway's being on the agenda.Special Features:
- View great but not serviceTishyDined on 5/11/2014Mother's Day we went and sat outside upstairs for view. The service was hurt by the bars inability to make drinks and the shuckers ability to crank out oysters. It took too long. Then she got one of our entrees wrong. We ate it b/c we were starved and the prospect of getting it right seemed too risky. She took off drinks which was appreciated. The tab for 5 was $212 with drinks removed but it felt more like a $100 experience... The view was the best thing about it. Every year Hemingways disappoints in this way -I'm local so I can enjoy on the weekdays but visiting friends always want to go there. I wish I didn't have to dissuade them to another close enough place like Bridges or the Narrows... Someday, some way, please Hemingways!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crab Mac and Cheese!!!KelliandJasonDined on 5/10/2014Service was outstanding and the food excellent. Great view of the bay and the bridge combined with perfect weather. Nothing more to ask for.Special Features:
- Wonderful restaurant, amazing viewWilliamDined on 5/3/2014We made our reservation, and were rewarded with a fantastic table, overlooking the Bay Bridge. Wonderful service, absolutely great. The food was very good, though I would have expected just a little more pizazz. However, you won't go wrong. We had Rockfish and crab cakes, with house salads. They were quite good. Good wine list, knowledgeable servers. We love the decor, and the service is excellent. Make a reservation, go, and enjoy. This is a real gem. We will try other dishes on future occasions.Special Features:
- Beautiful Venue, poor foodOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/3/2014One of the best views of the Chesapeake Bay, nice bar and outdoor dining. However the food has slipped a long way over the last few years. They must have lost their chef. Great place to grab a drink and a snack but if you're looking for great food, it's not here.Special Features:
- Fun DiningOyster96Dined on 5/3/2014Has a great view and outdoor dining. Food was very good, large portions. All staff was friendly and gave great service. Will definitely go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great find!ChristineDined on 4/26/2014We tried hemingways for the first time this weekend. The food was great, as was the service and the view of the bay is hard to beat. We were pleasantly surprised to find the prices reasonable and the atmosphere clean and vibrant while still casual enough for jeans. Most definitely making a return trip soon. Our only complaint was that it wasn't closer to home :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice experienceMmmmgoodDined on 4/20/2014we had a lovely Easter brunch - the food was excellent and the servers were all friendly and helpfulSpecial Features:

It never ends, does it?
"Public servants" once again are charged with robbing those they serve, and this time, it was a piece a cake. All it took was a push of a button to reap millions of dollars into the coffers of the Luzerne County Transportation Authority.
I, for one, would love to know what became of all that extra cash. You may have heard that the LCTA had built up a $7 million surplus. Now we know how. There were huge spikes in the number of ghosts boarding county buses. And now two LCTA big shots are charged with multiple felonies.
The LCTA's state funding increased when its ridership did , which it didn't in recent years. That's where the ghosts handily came in. When a senior citizen boarded the bus, drivers allegedly logged a truck load of them. Union jobs were protected, and LCTA administrators had more money to hoard. Everyone was happy.
Well, this despicable public authority got caught.
Kudos to Luzerne County Councilman Edward Brominski who took seriously the disturbing information authority board member Patrick Conway shared with him. Brominski later contacted state Attorney General Kathleen Kane, who jumped on it.
The rest of the LCTA board did nothing. Chairman Sal Licata still insists on singing the praises of authority Executive Director Stanley Strelish. Licata incredibly on Wednesday told The Citizens Voice that Strelish' record has been "exemplary." Maybe he considers charges of theft by deception and tampering with public records part of an "exemplary," record, but the rest of us don't. This guy should really consider stepping down.
When the story broke, Strelish blamed the padded ridership counts on authority drivers. They couldn't count properly, he actually said.
Strelish is now charged with 47 criminal counts. Authority operations director Robb Henderson is charged with 27 counts, including conspiring to tamper with public records.
Someone is lying here. Strelish is claiming that the unionized drivers conspired to make him look bad. Guess what, Stan? If that's the case, they succeeded.
An LCTA driver, reportedly a former head of the transit union, recalled a meeting with Strelish and claims he said, "It would be wise for us to tell everybody to be smart about it and increase the ridership." Whistleblower board member Conway told The Times Leader that the drivers who falsified the number of riders also should have been charged.
That's what you think, bub. "I ain't playing their game," was the response of Paul Jason, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 164, who refused to respond to Conway's remarks. We have news for you, Mr. Jason. This aint no game.
This is going to get interesting, and maybe the truth will come out when Strelish and Henderson go to trial for what AG Kane characterized as defrauding the Commonwealth of more than $3.1 million.
If you ask me, they're all a bunch of snakes.
The public spotlight should never have been taken off the Luzerne County Transportation Authority. Who knew what else they got away with operating outside the public's view in their headquarters behind Kirby Park.
Back in 1993, I was writing for the now defunct Sunday Independent and reported that the LCTA had spent at least $16,500 of public money on travel and entertainment, including $1,500 for a Christmas party at the Fox Hill Country Club where the agency's directors and executives dined on filet mignon and racked up a $400 bar bill.
I had also learned that some board members and their wives flew to San Diego for a conference while some traveled to Toronto for another one. Neither junket was approved at a public meeting.
Then authority executive director Harold Edwards said the reason the LCTA routinely spent public money to treat board members and agency administrators to Christmas parties was "because it's Christmas." Nice.
Does anyone think for a minute that this entitlement mentality at the LCTA stopped since then?
Sadly, our local newspapers don't seem to put a priority on investigative reporting these days. So these arrogant men and women who sit on local boards and authorities can continue to do whatever they want.
And don't think that they don't.

However, I would give her more credence if she started calling out those on "her side" who are so venomous and hateful in their speech and actions, like what they did to Brendan Eich. And that is one example of hundreds. Until she (and the rest of those on the left) truly practices what she preaches my opinion of her will remain the same. She´s just another hypocritical leftist.

Conservatives want to be left alone to build their business, feed their children and support their church and community.Progressives want to empower the government to shape and mold and re-create mankind in their utopian model of perfection no matter the cost, no matter the destructive impact on the natural order of things.My advice to "Progressives" is this: Mind your own damnbidness and you have so much time to spend minding mine.How ´bout you go out and generate a fortune and I come from behind and tell you how you have to spend it on Libertarian causes.....Ya....like that´s gonna happen !!!

WASHINGTON -- Hyattsville, Md. City Police officers are looking for a man who allegedly robbed and sexually assaulted a woman as she walked home from the Prince George's Plaza Metro Station on Sunday.
Shortly after 2 a.m., police responded to the 3500 block of East West Highway. A man, described as dark-skinned with shoulder-length dreads wearing an orange shirt and blue jeans, approached the woman. According to a news release, he held a knife toward the woman and told her to go behind a dumpster.
That's when he demanded her belongings and sexually assaulted her, police officers say. Hyattsville City Police officers are investigating the crime. Those with information should call 301-985-5060 and refer to case number 14-1146.

It might be a technique we can't wait to try – or maybe a favorite motif or color and sometimes we're inspired by new media. We begin with Ana Buzzalino and her technique of fabric painting for art quilts including masking, mixing and blending for unique tulips. Then it is time to create a inspiring patchwork bulletin board that doubles as a design walls to keep you ideas fresh. Finally a favorite guest – Jane LaFazio is back for a new technique for image transfers with Dura film – or using a wet medium to transfer onto vintage linens.

Quotations About / On: LONELY
Page :
The torment of human frustration, whatever its immediate cause, is the knowledge that the self is in prison, its vital force and "mangled mind" leaking away in lonely, wasteful self-conflict.(Elizabeth Drew (1887-1965), Anglo-American author, critic. Poetry: A Modern Guide to Its Understanding and Enjoyment, pt. 2, ch. 13 (1959).)More quotations from: Elizabeth Drew, lonely
The modern city hardly knows pure darkness or pure silence anymore, nor does it know the effect of a single small light or that of a lonely distant shout.(Johan Huizinga (1872-1945), Dutch historian. The Autumn of the Middle Ages, ch. 1 (1921, trans. 1995).)
There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.(Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), U.S. author. Death in the Afternoon, ch. 11 (1932).)
I have at last, after several months' experience, made up my mind that [New York] is a splendid deserta domed and steepled solitude, where the stranger is lonely in the midst of a million of his race.(Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835-1910), U.S. author. Daily Alta California (June 5, 1867). Mark Twain's Travels with Mr. Brown, ch. 25, eds. Franklin Walker and G. Ezra Dane, Knopf (1940).)More quotations from: Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens], lonely, solitude
Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.(Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), U.S. author. address recorded for the Nobel Prize Committee, Dec. 10, 1954, accepting the Nobel Prize for literature. Published in Carlos Baker, Hemingway: the Writer as Artist, ch. 13, third edition (1963).)
The haughty and imperious part of a man develops rapidly on one of these lonely sugar plantations, where the owner rarely meets with anyone except his slaves and minions.(Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822-1893), U.S. president. Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes: Nineteenth President of the United States, vol. I, p. 254, ed. Charles Richard Williams, The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, 5 vols. (1922-1926), Diary (January 30, 1849). Written while visiting a college classmate in Texas.)More quotations from: Rutherford Birchard Hayes, sugar, lonely
The twentieth-century artist who uses symbols is alienated because the system of symbols is a private one. After you have dealt with the symbols you are still private, you are still lonely, because you are not sure anyone will understand it except yourself. The ransom of privacy is that you are alone.(Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911), U.S. sculptor. As quoted in Lives and Works, by Lynn F. Miller and Sally S. Swenson (1981).)More quotations from: Louise Bourgeois, lonely, alone
A lonely man is a lonesome thing, a stone, a bone, a stick, a receptacle for Gilbey's gin, a stooped figure sitting at the edge of a hotel bed, heaving copious sighs like the autumn wind.(John Cheever (1912-1982), U.S. author. "The Sixties," 1966 entry, John Cheever: The Journals, ed. Robert Gottlieb (1991).)
In his lonely solitude, the solitary man feeds upon himself; in the thronging multitude, the many feed upon him. Now choose.(Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher, classical scholar, critic of culture. Friedrich Nietzsche, Sämtliche Werke: Kritische Studienausgabe, vol. 2, p. 520, eds. Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari, Berlin, de Gruyter (1980). Mixed Opinions and Maxims, aphorism 348, "From the Land of the Cannibals," (1879).)More quotations from: Friedrich Nietzsche, lonely, solitude
The loneliest feeling in the world is when you think you are leading the parade and turn to find that no one is following you. No president who badly misguesses public opinion will last very long.(Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), U.S. president. Interview with former Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, University of Illinois, Urbana (Spring 1958). FDR was always conscious of the need to educate the public on important national issues and was determined not to take the lead unless he was reasonably sure of public support. However, he was also extremely adept at providing leadership for the public to educate them to support policies he believed were essential to the public weal. He made this same observation in a letter to a friend with only slightly different wording.)More quotations from: Franklin D Roosevelt, world

text: Walgreens Hops on the ObamaCare Bandwagon by Jedediah Bila 10 Jul 2013 post a comment Share This: Well, well, well. Check out the Walgreens website. It looks like a poster for ObamaCare. Some quotes from the site: "The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law in 2010 to improve Americans' access to healthcare. It expands insurance benefits and was designed to reduce the cost of healthcare for the average American." " The new healthcare law expands access to individuals and families who have not had or could not afford health insurance." "The biggest effect of the ACA is that people who previously couldn't afford or qualify for coverage will now be able to sign up for health insurance." "Tax credits, expanded eligibility requirements for Medicaid and subsidies will take effect in 2014, helping those in need pay for health insurance." "Under the new law insurance companies are also prevented from charging people who need more healthcare, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and those with pre-existing conditions." The Hill reports: Walgreens and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) launched a website Wednesday and promised to distribute brochures about ObamaCare at Walgreens stores around the country. ObamaCare is an overstuffed bureaucratic mess that will raise costs, decrease quality of care, and bring government overreach to new levels. Every day, we wake up to a new report about how the law is falling apart. Whether it's delaying the mandate requirement for businesses so as to avoid enormous backlash against Democrats in the mid-terms (and hence choosing not to enforce a component of the law without the consent of Congress), significantly rising costs of subsidies, an honor system to verify eligibility for subsidies (hello, fraud)--the law is in distress, to say the least. Walgreens, wake up. Follow Jedediah on Twitter @JedediahBila

• Stephen Jelley made it a perfect weekend in East Anglia when he won rounds 10 and 11 of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Snetterton, leading home a 25-car field of 450 hp 911 GT3 Cup race cars
• Jelley's double victory takes him into the lead of the Championship ahead of Michael Meadows
• A double victory for Jonas Gelzinis in Pro-Am1 consolidated his place at the head of the category
• Keith Webster completed a weekend of doubles with twin victories in Pro-Am2, winning 'Driver of the Weekend'
Round 10
Stephen Jelley scored a hugely important victory in a superb round 10 of the Carrera Cup GB. After 14 laps of the Snetterton 300 circuit, little more than two seconds split the top five cars and victory for Jelley put him to the head of the title race. Michael Meadows and impressive championship newcomer, Ben Barker, completed the overall podium, while the action continued all the way down the 25-car field. Jonas Gelzinis took Pro-Am1 as a fierce battle raged over second place, while Keith Webster beat George Brewster by less than half a second in Pro-Am2 after both had spins.
The 25-car field of 450 hp 911 GT3 Cup cars made a fabulous sight on the Snetterton grid and it was Meadows (Banbury) who led the pack away from pole. However, into Agostini's hairpin on the opening lap, Jelley (Leicester) spotted a gap and dived ahead. "He left the door open and I went for it," said Jelley. "I was a bit hesitant on the brakes," said Meadows. Porsche Carrera Cup GB scholarship winner Ben Hetherington (Cheshire) burst through to lie third off the grid, but was adjudged to have jumped the start and had to take a drive through penalty.
As Jelley and Meadows settled into a rhythm at the head of the field, it was Barker (Clare, Suffolk) who was on the move and, from sixth on the opening lap, he passed Richard Plant (Sheffield) and Euan Hankey (Taunton) to take third as Hetherington took his penalty. Once clear in third, Barker set about closing the gap to the leaders and set the fastest lap of the race as he reeled in Jelley and Meadows. With five laps to run, Barker – an Englishman who has been racing in the Carrera Cup Championship in Australia – made it a three car contest for the lead and his arrival on Meadows' tail gave Jelley a slight breathing space.
Then, into the closing laps, Plant and Hankey closed in as well to make a five car train at the head of the race. Despite race-long pressure from Meadows, Jelley drove a superbly controlled race to take his third win of the season as well as the Championship lead. "It was never comfortable and I thought that Ben Barker coming up might be a good thing for me," said Jelley. "This could be an important weekend for the Championship."
Meadows held firm in second, while Barker starred with his drive to third place in such a competitive field. "I didn't want to take any big risks," said Barker. "The podium was good for me and I had a great car from Parr."
Plant had a fine run to fourth to match his best result of the season, while Hankey was right on his tail in fifth.
Pro-Am1 winner Gelzinis (Lithuania) was sixth overall ahead of former Championship leader James Sutton (London) who just didn't have the pace to make up any places.
Gelzinis was away and clear in Pro-Am1 and had to fend off Sutton in the early laps. "It was a bit difficult when Sutton was behind me, but I managed to pull away," said the Lithuanian racer. The battle for second and third in Pro-Am1 was far less settled, however, and a fierce contest raged between Derek Pierce (West Kilbride), Ahmad Al Harthy (Oman), Rory Butcher (Kirkcaldy) and Freddy Nordstrom (Weybridge). Eventually, Al Harthy spun at Riches after contact with Martin, and Pierce spun on the infield after a clash with Butcher and it was Martin who took second from Butcher as Daniele Perfetti (Italy) took fourth from the recovering Pierce.
Pro-Am2 also delivered some drama as Yucel Ozbek (Turkey), Webster (Liphook) and Brewster (Edinburgh) all had turns in the lead, and all had spins. Eventually, Webster got ahead but it was close as Brewster fought back for second after a spin at Agostini's hairpin, and with Ozbek also spinning down the order it was Richard Denny (London) who took the final podium place. "Ozbek pulled off a brilliant move on me and then threw it off at the next corner," said Webster. "The whole thing hinged on two mistakes; one by Keith and one by me," said Brewster. "It was fantastic racing!"
Round 11
Jelley made it a perfect weekend in Norfolk when he won round 11 of the Carrera Cup GB to make it a double victory in a very important weekend for his title bid. Meadows again chased Jelley home as they both moved ahead of erstwhile Championship leader Sutton; Jelley now has an 11-point lead in the table. Gelzinis doubled up in Pro-Am1, while Pro-Am2 was only decided at the final corner when Webster dived ahead of Ozbek.
Jelley raced ahead from pole position and controlled the race from the front while under pressure from Meadows. After an early Safety Car period, Meadows mounted a concerted attack but Jelley was able to match his rival and then edged clear over the second half of the race. "We seemed to have the legs after the first quarter of the race," said Jelley. "To outscore Michael Meadows and James Sutton is what we wanted." Meadows chased Jelley to the flag, but was fortunate to make the finish in second as a slow rear puncture struck with four laps to run.
"To be at the front with the big guys was great, but that was hard work," said Plant. For Sutton it was a case of damage limitation during a trying weekend when he did not quite have the pace to challenge for victory.
Right behind Plant and Sutton were Barker and Hankey in a fast-moving train of cars that also included Gelzinis, Hetherington and Sam Tordoff (Leeds). Barker's excellent pace helped earn the 'Team of the Weekend' award for Parr Motorsport.
Gelzinis extended his Pro-Am1 advantage with his second category win of the weekend. "I tried to fight with Euan and that stressed the tyres a little bit," said Gelzinis. "It was very hard to control the car later in the race." Over the first half of the race, a tremendous battle raged over second place in Pro-Am1 as Pierce headed Butcher, Al Harthy, Alex Martin (Somerset) and Nordstrom. Pierce defended resolutely for several laps before Butcher edged ahead at Agostini's hairpin. Once ahead, Butcher pulled quickly away for a secure second in Pro-Am1. "It was another really hard fight with Derek," said Butcher. Despite constant pressure from Martin, Pierce completed the Pro-Am1 podium. "It's been a hard day," said Pierce.
The Pro-Am2 contest ran right to the very last corner of the race as Webster mounted a relentless chase of his Redline Racing team-mate Ozbek. Then, as they braked for Murray's chicane for the last time, Webster scythed ahead in a spectacular move to take victory and help earn the 'Driver of the Weekend' award. "The Bomb Hole was the one place I was quicker and that set up the move," said Webster. "That's the best I've driven all weekend," he added. Ozbek salvaged second place while Steve Parish (London) recovered to take third after Brewster hit alternator problems early in the race.

Assessing Interests and Abilities
- Where am I in my career development process?
- What are my interests, strengths and abilities in relation to my future goals?
- What are some programs and experiences that will help me achieve my goals?
- How well-developed are my self-determination skills?
You may already have some answers. Together with your IEP (Individualized Education Program) team, use this information to help you prepare for the future:
School records:Grades, performance on standardized school system tests, and special education assessments can provide information about your strengths and needs.
Portfolios:A portfolio is a collection of work samples that provides a clear picture of your skills and the progress you're making.
Interviews/Surveys:You and your guidance counselor can request feedback from teachers, tutors, and employers about your areas of strength and need.
Tests and Screenings:Different types of assessment and screening measures can help to shed light on areas of career or vocational aptitude and interest. Be sure to have a qualified person interpret the results of these measures for you.
As you look forward to life after high school, keep the four stages of career development in mind.
