Belmont voters take little time to add money for rescue boat
"It was the quickest town meeting I have ever been associated with," said Selectman Ronald Cormier Jr., who has been a selectmen in town for nine years.
On the proposed budget, Article 7 asked voters to approve $10,000 for the purchase of a rescue and fire suppression boat, with the money to come from the town's Fire/Ambulance Equipment and Apparatus Special Revenue Fund. The town isn't sure yet if it will buy a new or used boat, Cormier said.
The budget committee had recommended $10,000 for the boat, but the selectmen had recommended $25,000.
Voters chose to amend the article to the $25,000 figure.
"There was some discussion and the people felt they needed more for the boat," Cormier said.
Article 4, which would raise $355,000 to replace 3,750 feet of water line within Belmont Village, did not draw much discussion. The town hopes that all of the project's costs would be paid for by a government Community Development Block Grant Program.
Also going without much discussion was Article 6, which asks voters to approve $180,000 for a new fire department ambulance, with the funds to come from the Fire/Ambulance Equipment and Apparatus Special Revenue Fund.
The new ambulance would replace two town ambulances, both of which will be used as trade-ins or sold outright to help pay for the new ambulance.
Voting will take place on March 12 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Belmont High School.

CASTING CALL EVERYONE... I WANT SOME SNAZZY CHICKS FOR MY STORY...LETS GET SNAPPING *jazz hands*
Read to see if you made it.
Vampirees! Rydenn :D yay not smut so much yet but i'll be sure to find some :)
A cliche' but cutesy story of a girl who is in love with her unavailable best friend, and the average teenage heartache which ensues as a consequence.
Everyone knows not to fall for your best friend. Especially when he's gay. Not the stereotypical fic, surprises will be added. Panic AU in College. Rated nc-17 for Slash/Het sex.
Evelyn Monroe, a costume designer and shop owner barely making ends meet gets an unexpected job and makes unexpected relationships.
Just a one-shot that popped into my head. its short and there's not much point to it, but you know what? SHUT UP.
Brendon & Ryan, fighting always leads to epic make up sex :P
Ryan Ross is madly in love, with his best friend. slash
They moved so fast, but that's what happens when it's meant to be.
Chaptering is a bit messed up, use Story Index to go through X) So you're probably used to the whole Fall Out Boy vampire scene. Try Ryden-with Brendon Urie a bloodthirsty vampire working for Will...
ryan is feeling very depressed and brendon is very surprised, ryan just wants to let go but brendon is always a step too late... reveiw its my first so i wanna get better :D
Sequel to Orange Juice. Ryan and Brendon take acid again. Chaos ensues. Slash. Ryden.
Ryan takes acid and is convinced he's a glass of orange juice. Slash. Ryden.

Social Media Drives Less Than 2% Of All B2B Website Traffic, Says Study [STATS]
While case study after case study continues to sing the virtues of social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook for business to consumer (B2C) marketing, business to business (B2B) social media marketing has, and continues to prove, a particularly difficult nut to crack.
Indeed, a new study suggests that social media accounts for less than two percent of all B2B website traffic, with organic search (i.e., Google), direct traffic and other referrals significantly more important to business to business brands.
This data comes courtesy of Optify's 2012 B2B Marketing Benchmark Report, which noted that, despite heavy adoption, social media websites, including LinkedIn, drove just 1.9 percent of traffic to B2B websites.
Organic search (41 percent of all traffic) and direct visits (40 percent of all traffic) were massively more influential sources of visitors for B2B brands.

LAKIN, Kan. (AP) _ A Colorado pilot is hospitalized in Wichita
after the crop-dusting plane he was flying crashed in southwestern
The Kansas Highway Patrol says the 1999 fixed-wing plane went
down around 9:30 a.m. Monday about two miles east of the Kearny
County town of Lakin.
The pilot is identified as 58-year-old David Burr, of Montrose, Colo. He was taken to Kearny County Hospital and later to Wichita's Via Christi-St. Francis Hospital, where he was listed in critical
condition Monday afternoon.
The patrol says the aircraft's right wing clipped a support line on a 305-foot cell tower. The plane hit the ground nose-first near U.S. 50 and flipped over.
The Hutchinson News reports the crop-duster was registered to Tri Rotor Spray and Chemical, in the southwestern Kansas town of Ulysses.

Installed desert bronze xlm in aug 2010. Replacing with harvest bronze April 2013. Sent two emails to warranty dept. never registered my material in the beginning . Sent about 10 pictures and invoice for material. Deck is about 20' x 16'. They replaced all material and fasteners. Plus 2k in a personal check. Installed myself and will replace myself. Hopefully I will never have to go through this again. But they did make right on the situation......for now.

- TimberTech XLM turning white
Need more deck max enhanced revitalized as I am doing my deck over for the third time.
Please have someone contact me at 860-836-9518

I am new to this forum. We had installed in the summer of 2011 the TimberTech Mtn. Cedar and it too has started to have white milky areas. I've tried to clean it, but it does not work. Any help from people who were successful in cleaning theirs would be appreciated.
Don't waste your time with Harvest Bronze XLM. We originally had Desert Bronze installed in June of 2010. By August of 2010 it had white chalking over the entire deck. After TT tried to get us to use their deck stain and we refused they finally agreed to replace the desert dream with Harvest Bronze promising that the HB product was improved and we wouldn't have the same white chalking problem. In less that a year, we had the same exact issue with the Harvest Bronze. We are exhausted with the entire process and don't want to go through the pain of replacing it again. At this point I do not feel that TT can provide a decent replacement product. I spent all this time convincing my husband that it was worth it to spend the extra dollars on a "maintenance free" deck vs. cedar decking. $21K later and I wish we would have done cedar!
Trying to submit to the address [email protected] Keeps coming back undeliverable!
Please send any info as I am in same boat as all of you!! Thank you!!!
Please send any info as I am in same boat as all of you!! Thank you!!!
My XLM Desert Bronze decking is also turning white after 2 1/2 years. The deck gets minimal traffic and is maintained properly. I will be sending a claim in to Timbertech along with photos, honestly after reading all the posts about the decking, I'm very sorry that I bought this product even though it was the most expensive composite decking on the market at the time. Any help trying to rectify this situation would be greatly appreciated.
We installed TT xlm in Rustic Bark in July of last year (2012). It was beautiful for a couple months until I started to see what looked like a milky film. At first I thought maybe it was our water. This spring (2013) I noticed more of the milky look...and by July it now looks white like the color has worn off. Was going to try the DECK MAX...but decided not to after reading this website. Will be calling TT to start our claim!
We installed XLM Desert Bronze in 2010. It has the color defect. Our warranty claim just got approved for the material replacement and "customary amount towards the replacement labor". Sure could use some advice on how to approach this. What does 'customary' mean? I believe Timbertech needs to pay for all the labor. Any advice from folks that have already completed this process would be helpful and appreciated.
Also I would like any feedback on what Timbertech replacement product you chose, why, and results (happy or not happy with choice).
Also I would like any feedback on what Timbertech replacement product you chose, why, and results (happy or not happy with choice).
I recently submitted a claim to replace our Desert Bronze deck and am in the waiting stages. I requested Harvest Bronze but just noticed a post from HATEXLM on 5/30/13 that after replacing Desert Bronze with Harvest Bronze they are experiencing white discoloration problems AGAIN!
Has anyone else had problems with Harvest Bronze?
Also any good advice from 2013 how to push your claim through and get labor costs reimbursed? Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a good deck replacement contractor in Chicago suburbs (Glen Ellyn).

117. TreeKIT
New York
In some cities, dead trees are as numerous as potholes, but get a lot less attention. For this reason, landscape architect Liz Barry and urban forester Philip Silva developed TreeKIT, a system to measure, map, and manage urban forests. Volunteers use simple site-surveying skills to map trees in urban areas. TreeKIT's website features a map showing tree density block by block, and users can zoom in on trees to click for information about trunk dimension, genus, or species. The map also color-codes empty treebeds, stumps, and dead trees. This data is shared with city agencies and local tree steward organizations. Studies indicate healthy trees in urban areas can filter pollutants, reduce heat island effect, reduce CO2, and prevent runoff as well as create safe inviting public spaces.

No light in car park.No staff to receive you.If you fancy climbing four very steep stairs with your suitcases here is your chance.If you than want to dine in the main hotel take your chance along a unlit path with slippery leaves.This is not for the faint hearted and really is the worst proposition I have come across in a very well travelled life. The alternative offered after my complaints were at least as disappointing.
the staff immediately responded to our complaints
Booking.com indicates (with pics) breakfast and dinner - actually you need to go (by car) to the castle. You can only sleep in the manoir. We had a room with broken heating (14degr) when it was snowing outside. After a call with the reception in the castle we received another room. The radiator made terrible noise - needed to have air out of system - after our call they came to fix it. The bathrooms need serious upgrading and a clean up - The restaurant in the castle is very good as is the staff. The breakfast (also in the castle) is good.
the view, the calm
Great breakfast. Many things to choose from. Short walk from Train station.
Every thing. We should have stayed the whole weekend. We'll be back soon. Real soon!!!
The staff at the hotel arranged free transport the the customer I was there to visit.
The Manoir was cosy but located some hundred meters from the Chataue du lac where the reception and breakfast is located.
Very quiet at night Within easy walking distance of restaurants Good breakfast in the main hotel.
The bathroom needed a good clean. There was no air extractor and mould was evident on the tiles and ceiling. The handle on the shower door was broken so opening it was not easy.
Friendly and helpful staffs Comfortable and clean room/bed Beautiful surrounding Good buffet breakfast
Very, very slow wifi esp. for business guest Location rather secluded Call to reception from room phone never worked
Please fix the water sound in room 333
Large spacious room in annexe to the main hotel. Bed comfy . Quiet at night . Breakfast options good. Windows could be opened wide for fresh air. Courtesy car to train station from main hotel so that I could catch my train to Brussels.
Trekking down to main hotel for breakfast, Faulty air conditioning. This was repaired but rather hot whilst it needed to be repaired.
Pleasant atmosphere, nice place, great facilities
If you don't like exercise, you must know that there's some steep walk to do when you check in or out or when you go for breakfast. If you need exercise, turn this into an advantage
good room, nice view.good breakfast
Having to go up & down steep hill to access dining & other facilities
Location near the lake and main hotel. Pretty outlook and very quiet.
The shower was tired and could have done with a deep clean and renovation.

Smart Social Networking: Fifteen Tips for Teens

Revenge Porn and the Purge trend on Instagram and Twitter
Since last weekend, our site has received a lot of reports from both victims and other concerned social media users about the #purge phenomenon that has gone viral. For those of you unfamiliar, The Purge was a movie that came out in 2013. The storyline featured the premise of all crime being legal for one night of the year. The sequel – The Purge: Anarchy – just came out and has seemingly served as the impetus for some users on Twitter and Instagram (and perhaps other platforms) to (sort of) replicate the storyline. How, you might ask? Well, for a twelve hour period, people are posting and saying whatever they want, and including a hashtag consisting of some variation of "purge" in it (for example, #twitterpurge, #instapurge, #purgenight). Apart from individuals mouthing off in malicious, cruel, and offensive ways (typically against others), the most troubling subset of participants are posting nude pictures of ex-girlfriends and others they wish to humiliate and demean (including those who are underage). This has in the past been termed "revenge porn," as the motivation is often the desire to get back at someone else. You can imagine the emotional state of someone who has been victimized: they are crying out for help as their privacy and trust has been violated in the most extreme way, and don't know how to make the continual harassment and cruelty stop.
Thankfully, many are speaking out and labeling the #purge phenomenon as immature and ignorant, and pointing out that these accounts ruin lives and could push people to suicide. We've also seen anti-purge hashtags surface like #purgenightmuststop or #purgenightnomore, in an attempt to spread the message that this entire idea is horrible, ridiculous, and must end. Finally, I am happy to report that Twitter and Instagram (which is owned by Facebook) have been actively taking down offending accounts in these situations once we let them know of them. The only issue has been combating the copycat accounts which have quickly replaced the ones that were deleted. To be sure, these newer accounts are not really getting as many followers and participation as the originals, and so the hope is that we have reached the tipping point of this particular phenomenon – and its end has begun.
We have written about revenge porn in the past, and unfortunately this is just another instantiation which has gained some traction. The hope is that the speed with which it became a "thing" will be matched by the speed with which it is denounced and quelled. A number of states have specific laws that criminalize this behavior in some capacity: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, Idaho, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. And more than two dozen are considering legislation. Also, there is a federal proposal being floated in DC called the Relationship Privacy Protection Act, which would make it a misdemeanor to intentionally distribute sexually explicit images or video "with the intent to cause serious emotional distress." This would be punishable by up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine – and third parties who knowingly engage in it could face felony charges and a five-year prison sentences with fines of up to $12,500. The concern, though, is that punitive laws will be passed without thoroughly thinking about a number of issues. Eric Goldman brings up a number of valid points as it relates to California's law: How do you measure intent of causing emotional distress when one distributes the images? What if the recipient of the inappropriate image never agreed it should be completely kept in confidence? What about the role of third parties – those who forward or provide external links to the image? What about hackers (instead of current or former romantic partners) who access and distribute images? These complex questions require great consideration before moving forward legislatively.
I know that this is a sensitive and emotionally-laden topic, and affects those who are involved on a visceral level. And as much as I would like to write a scathing diatribe that indicts those who participate in the #purge and other trends that cause pain and embarrassment to others, I know that won't really solve anything. The bottom line is that while there will always be a minority of social media (or other technology) users who marshal its power in negative ways. And while those who try to get back at their exes or at others by posting private shared with them in confidence are completely in the wrong, we have to be honest with ourselves and remember that these situations can avoided if consider all possible long-term implications before putting ourselves out there.
Part of me wants to shout from the rooftops that you can't truly trust anyone anymore, and so please don't ever take and then send risqué pictures or videos – even using "ephemeral messaging" like Snapchat (or the new messaging features due out in iOS 8), even to someone to whom you are married or have been with for a very long time. And you'd think that all of us would have learned from the sexting horror stories we've heard before (including those which have tragically resulted in suicide). But perhaps those lessons don't sink in deep enough, or we just believe that it's just a casual, fun, and exciting way to flirt, or we're so in love and nothing bad will ever happen, or that the other person would never dare to screw us over. Or we just don't imagine something like the #purge could possibly ever spring up, let alone happen to us. All of these rationalizations are natural. And of course, I want to be gracious to everyone, because we've all been in vulnerable positions and we've all made mistakes we regret.
The premise of the Purge movies and now this #purge trend on social media is that you are free to do whatever you want, and that there are no consequences. But that is Hollywood, and not real life. The reality is that there are always consequences (of some kind, even if not immediately obvious), and though we can't often control what someone does with a compromising image of us, we can often control the creation of that image. And by controlling the creation of that image (by never taking it or allowing it to be taken!), we preempt the problem before it can even possibly happen.
Anonymous Postings on Confession Pages, Secret, and Whisper
What many adults don't understand, they freak out about. Especially as it relates to teens. I'm generalizing here, but you know what I mean – we really don't want the youth we care for to be having secrets, telling secrets, and keeping secrets away from us. Because we don't fully trust them, either due to past experiences or due to messages from current events and the popular media. Well, in this environment we have seen the increasing popularity and notoriety of online mediums and platforms over which teens (and adults) can anonymously say whatever they want to those around them (see Justin's post on Yik Yak) or to a larger social grouping. And it's worth taking some time to discuss these, so that we know fact from fiction and don't overreact.
To begin, Confessions sites on social media have received some attention in the press over the last year, and here at the Cyberbullying Research Center we continue to regularly hear about the experiences of teens on Facebook- and Twitter-based pages. . Confession pages allow anyone to share personal secrets, rumors, gossip, and anything else they might want others to know about but are hesitant to post publicly or in a way that is tied to their identity. And, of course, everyone who knows about the page (in a community, or school or other organization) can "like" it and thereby can stay in the loop by receiving its updates in their either in their News Feed or via the Twitter account they are following. At this point, they can then participate as a voyeur, or more actively by liking, commenting on, or sharing specific confessions.
As an example of how it works on, say, Facebook, a user first creates a "Fan" page (meaning, a page that represents a group or brand or entity, instead of a "Profile" page for themselves. Facebook does not require creators of "pages" to reveal their identity. Visitors can then send private messages to the page with specific confessions, and the administrator of the page then posts them publicly to the Wall for all "followers" to see. Another way to keep posts anonymous is to create an email account specifically to receive confessions from others, or set up a form via free online tools such as Google Docs (or Survey Monkey, or even an Ask.fm page). Then, "confessors" can clink on a link, open up the form, share their confession without giving any identifying information, and click "send." The person behind it all then receives these anonymous confessions via email, and then can post them for all to see.
Outside of using Facebook or Twitter, other confessional platforms for smartphones have recently gained traction. Secret is a new app that recently came out for iOS (Apple) users only and has been described as an anonymous "community with no names, profiles or photographs." When you make a post, it sends it to you and also to a select subset of your friends (i.e., your contacts), and possibly friends of those friends – all of whom (of course) must have the app (or they are not involved at all). The more people like it within the app, the further it will spread. More secrets are shown to a user when they have more friends (based on unique algorithms), with the primary goal being to ensure secrecy and prevent people from finding out who truly said what. According to the creators, "We built Secret for people to be themselves and share anything they're thinking and feeling with their friends without judgment. We did this by eliminating profile photos and names and by putting the emphasis entirely on the words and images being shared. This way, people are free to express themselves without holding back." They also mention that the anonymous nature of Secret allows for people to like, comment, and re-share other people's posts that may be considered controversial, giving them the freedom to endorse anything without shame.
Similar to Secret is Whisper, which allows users to post anonymous confessions written on different images and is available for Android devices as well. Basically, you are asked to create a username and PIN, upload or select a picture from their vast library, add a custom filter, and then add custom text (whatever you want to whisper to the world). Then, you can decide to share your location, post it with hashtags to enable others to find it, and share it on other social media platforms. People who see it can like it and leave comments just like we've grown accustomed to on Facebook and Instagram, and can also share it across other platforms. Oh, and users can private message each other – which I think is an interesting feature which may provide the app with more "stickiness" and frequent usage than other apps. Whisper never knows who you are, doesn't access your phone's Contacts, and shows anonymous posts from all over the world (instead of just from your friends).
Anyway, in an effort to prevent bullying and "reduce negative comments," Secret recently stated that it is "adding features that detect when people's names are typed into in messages and warn those who would include them to think before they post." Relatedly, Whisper's CEO, Michael Heyward, stated that their app does not allow people to "use anonymity to hurt anyone else." In other words, users are not permitted to use proper names in posts (unless they are names of public figures). So, for instance, "Justin Bieber is okay, but Justin from Spanish class is not. Whisper also employs 120 human moderators to comb through posts in real time" (see here for more information).
Anonymous confession posts can vary from sexual fantasies for another student, to a crush on someone, to revealing one's sexual orientation or another thing that may often be stigmatized or judged. Other posts are cruel and hateful, and clearly represent cyberbullying:
Students do understand the negatives that arise when these sites are embraced within certain populations. One recently stated to the media that "they degrade people and make them feel unnecessarily bad about themselves." But even so, confession pages have garnered tremendous popularity in some circles for the same reasons that other novel environments breed cyberbullying. As we know, people are "more likely to speak their mind" online if their "words can't be traced back to them." Furthermore, (and as Justin recently stated) teens are "hungry for an online environment where they can interact and communicate that is outside the prying eyes of parents."
In terms of solutions, victims should always take the time to report these pages on Facebook or Twitter, as they violate their Terms of Service IF (and only if) what is being posted is harassing or threatening. To encourage this, you should remind teens that reporting a problematic account on Facebook or Twitter simply alerts the site to look into it and respond. It does not "out" the person reporting. To reiterate, when you follow the Report links on pieces of content provided by these companies in their site and app infrastructure, the person about whom you are reporting does not get any type of notification that you are the one who reported on them. While I don't have any experience yet working with the creators of Secret and Whisper, I hope they will follow in the footsteps of Yik Yak and do what they can to combat harassment, threats, stalking, and hate speech because it is in their best interests to create a user community that flourishes in a healthy and functional way.
Schools which struggle with fallout from confession pages or apps must always remember that they can discipline students for their online expressions if it substantially interferes with the learning environment or infringes upon the rights of another student (to feel safe, comfortable, and supported at school). And while it may be difficult to discern the identity of who posted what, it's not impossible since every posting has a digital footprint (which we will explain further in a future blog). We've fleshed out these clauses in great detail here and here, in case you need a refresher. With specific regard to Secret and Whisper (and current and future apps with similar feature-sets), it's quite likely they will go the way of previous platforms like JuicyCampus.com and Formspring.me) because most eventually devolve into a "network full of lies and hate." We just have to continue to educate teens to watch their words even when presented with a prime opportunity to be disrespectful or cruel towards someone else. These opportunities will often be turning points in their lives that dictate how they turn out. As such, taking the narrow road in spite of internal and external pressure to do otherwise is what they need to habituate now, so that it becomes their regular course of action during adulthood.
Outside of the cyberbullying issues, though, it's important to discuss some of the positives of these environments when considering these environments. Not doing so is neglectful because the use of technology is always a double-edged sword. A DV High Confessions page administrator has commented that although Confession pages "stirred up drama," they were a "great way for students to voice their thoughts and feelings," because "these days, there's a crazy amount of stress that just comes with being a teenager and in high school alone, so being anonymous makes it easier for people to express themselves." And so it brings teens together to vent, commiserate, and find common ground in each other's experiences, which reminds them that they are not alone and that their situation (as painful as it may be) is survivable.
It doesn't happen every single time, but it does happen a lot: teens are not sociopaths, and have good hearts, and do take the time to reach out and extend kindness towards one another in this way. And it clearly matters and makes a difference. Perhaps similar to your own personal experiences growing up, I remember clearly how difficult adolescence was, and how at times I felt like the tornado of emotions and stress and insecurities and pain and pressure that swirled around me was going to swallow me whole. And I did have a couple of online pen-pals at that time to whom I felt free to pour out my heart and vulnerabilities in ways I would simply not feel comfortable expressing to my parents, or a school counselor, or even a friend in real life because words typed with my fingers flowed easily while words spoken from my mouth fumbled and sputtered and tripped on themselves as I tried to convey how I felt. And those people were kind to me. Having this outlet and connection helped me so much, just like it is helping so many teens right now. And that is the story with pretty much every technology.
I remain incredibly aware of, and sensitive to, the potential for cyberbullying with these pages and apps, but never want to dismiss an app outright until we have had time for its possibly positive uses to surface. As youth-serving adults, we need to constantly support positive, healthy, and healing self-expression online and offline, but still set and hold to a hard line on expressions that harm others. Education, awareness, reminders, consequences, empathy-building, and conflict resolution skills continue to be most important in combatting harassing and threatening speech made via technology or in the real world. Who knows how long Secret and Whisper and Confession pages on Facebook and Twitter will attract attention. And even when they lose their luster, there will always be other apps and even networks (e.g., Tor) that provide anonymous communications and functionality to users. As such, I'd rather we focus our efforts on building an ethical and character-based foundation for decision-making within our youth. This way, they ideally do the right thing irrespective of whether everyone is watching them or no one knows who they are.

Teacher shames student in classroom after student bullies teacher on Twitter
Recently, a female student in Northern Mexico posted very offensive comments about her teacher – Ms. Idalia Hernandez Ramos – on Twitter. These included referring to her as a "whore" and a "bitch," and defaming her in other hurtful and insulting ways. At best, the behavior is a youthful indiscretion that unfortunately hurts the feelings of an innocent person. At worst, it was a very cruel and painful act of harassment which could leave serious emotional and psychological wounds, apart from severely damaging the teacher's reputation now and in the future. According to how we define it, it would be considered "cyberbullying."
Most of us likely wouldn't have heard about this case if not for a video uploaded to YouTube documenting what seems to be a typical classroom scene. In this video, Ms. Hernandez Ramos is teaching her class and covering material that interestingly, (and not coincidentally, we find out) relates to social media etiquette and digital citizenship. At one point, she singles out a female student and engages her in healthy dialogue about how online hate and bullying is extremely harmful, and can destroy the image of the person being targeted – and how teens can suffer legal consequences for their postings. And then, suddenly, the dialogue turns into an inquisition of sorts, as the teacher confronts the student about what she posted, and asks her why she would do such a thing.
At this point, the student is emotional after being called out in front of her classmates. She admits her role as the author of the hateful tweet, saying she was upset when she wrote it. Ms. Hernandez Ramos then remarks how she too is upset, and that so many others have seen the tweet, and that damage has been done. She then demands an apology from the student (and another student who shared the tweet with others) and states she will not allow "young brats" to call her that.
The epilogue of this story is that the student was suspended for two weeks, and the teacher has been placed on classroom leave while authorities determine whether she should lose her job. Overall, the case can serve an instructional lesson as we continue to wrestle with novel problems that arise from the misuse of technology in our everyday lives.
Harm is Harm No Matter Who is Involved
I am glad we are sensitive to the student's humiliation and shame. However, we need to be equally sensitive to the teacher's humiliation and shame as well. She was victimized. The worth of one's dignity should not be on a sliding scale depending on how old you are. Furthermore, it does warrant defending. I would speak up and defend myself if ever bullied, harassed, embarrassed, threatened, or otherwise mistreated. Doing so must always be encouraged among everyone – but it should be done through the proper channels and in the proper environment.
Poor Modeling
It is good that the teacher confronted the student about her poor judgment and harmful online speech. But it is not good that the teacher publicly shamed the student in front of her peers. To be sure, the teacher herself was publicly shamed. However, we must hold adults in supervisory positions over youth to a higher standard of integrity and character. Whether they like it or not, they serve as a behavioral model to teens. They should take the "narrow road" and emulate wisdom and maturity every chance they get.
In this case, if I were the teacher, I would have been very upset and emotional about the situation. I believe such feelings are justifiable and natural. However, I would have spoken to the student in private, one-on-one, when I was calm and level-headed. In this case, the teacher "set up" the student. She asked other students to record the confrontation and apology. When I speak with teens, I remind them that retaliating is never the answer. It never defuses the situation or resolves the conflict. In fact, it usually makes things worse. Here, the teacher is clearly avenging the wrong she experienced.
We do need to remain gracious and understanding towards teens when they demonstrate immaturity. I wouldn't want the student expelled, and I believe that two weeks of suspension is a just penalty. However, I wouldn't want the teacher fired. Given what I've said above, can't we extend some grace towards Ms. Hernandez Ramos as well – especially considering the emotional turmoil, stress, and sadness she must have experienced? Yes, she could have responded in a better way, but her victimization is an extenuating circumstance that lowers the maliciousness of her intent.
Not the First Time We Have Seen This
This reminds me of the situations involving parents who publicly shamed their daughters to teach them a lesson. Supporters of those parents' actions termed it "creative parenting," but it rightfully could be considered "cyberbullying." If the dominant desire of any adult is to instill fear, guilt, and shame instead of conveying a life lesson about right and wrong in a healthy, encouraging, and loving manner, we've got a major problem. I'd consider such actions downright abusive. Caring adults should serve a protective function to buffer kids from the harsh realities of the world since they are at such a delicate point in their adolescent development.
Cyberbullied Adults Need Support, Assistance, and Guidance as Well
A number of adults contact our Center for assistance when being targeted. Their stories are as real, raw, and as devastating as the ones we hear from children and teens. Educators need to be trained and equipped to deal with online harassment and hate. This situation allows us to once again shine the spotlight on cyberbullying and ensure our prevention and response efforts are measured, informed, and best suited to truly make a meaningful difference.
Catfishing as a Form of Cyberbullying
"Catfishing," at least in the online world, refers to the practice of setting up a fictitious online profile, most often for the purpose of luring another into a fraudulent romantic relationship. The Urban Dictionary defines a "catfish" as: "someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances." So, to "catfish someone" is to set up a fake social media profile with the goal of duping that person into falling for the false persona. And if this has happened to you, you my friend have been "catfished."
Of course people have been falsifying information online for decades and users have been putting fake information on social media profiles at least since MySpace launched in 2003, probably before. This became more widely known as catfishing after a 2010 documentary film highlighted the real-world ramifications of online relationships. In late 2012, MTV launched a reality TV show to capitalize on the interest in this activity.
A few weeks ago Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o became the poster child for catfishing when he was the apparent subject of one's online angling. As a public figure, with a prominent social media footprint he was a prime target. Te'o developed an online relationship with someone he knew as Lennay Kekua. It is difficult to know how deep the relationship was, but he did refer to her as his "girlfriend" and mentioned repeatedly that he loved her.
Te'o amassed a wide following when it was learned that his grandmother and girlfriend (Kekua) died on the same day early in the 2012 football season. As a Michigan State football fan, I became interested in the Te'o story because his inspired performance during his first game after the deaths led to a crushing defeat of my beloved Green and White. Soon, it seemed, much of America was watching Te'o and the Fighting Irish.
While it has been confirmed that his grandmother did in fact die, his girlfriend did not. Media investigations revealed that she had never existed in the first place. In mid-January the sportsblog Deadspin broke the story that Kekua was a fictitious online persona created by a friend of Te'o's. From the information we currently know, it appears most likely that Te'o was an unsuspecting victim, though some question his innocence and suggest this was all just an elaborate publicity stunt. In a statement released to the media, Te'o has maintained that he was a target: "To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating." Whether a victim or a co-conspirator, the Te'o tribulations have led to renewed interest in a form of cyberbullying that has been perpetrated against others for many years.
Catfishing as Cyberbullying
Misleading another on social media with the intent to cause harm is not new. In 2006, 13-year-old Megan Meier began an online relationship with a boy she knew as Josh Evans. For almost a month, Megan corresponded with this boy exclusively online because he said he didn't have a phone and was homeschooled. One day in October of that year, Megan received a message from Josh on her MySpace profile saying "I don't know if I want to be friends with you any longer because I hear you're not nice to your friends." This was followed by bulletins being posted through MySpace calling Megan "fat" and a "slut." After seeing the messages, Megan became distraught and ran up into her room. A few minutes later, Megan's mother Tina found her daughter hanging in her bedroom closet. Though she rushed her daughter to the hospital, Megan died the next day.
Six weeks after their daughter's death, the Meier family learned that the boy with whom Megan had been corresponding never existed. Josh Evans (and his online profile) was created by Lori Drew, a neighbor and the mother of one of Megan's friends. She created the profile as a way to spy on what Megan was saying about her daughter. Drew was eventually acquitted in federal court for her role in Megan's death.
Another, more extreme example, is the case of Anthony Stancl, a New Berlin, Wisconsin, 18-year-old who in 2009 impersonated two girls ("Kayla" and "Emily") on Facebook. He befriended and formed online romantic relationships with a number of boys in his high school (again, while posing and interacting as these two girls). He then convinced at least 31 of those boys to send him nude pictures or videos of themselves. As if that weren't bad enough, Stancl – still posing as a girl and still communicating through Facebook – tried to convince more than half to meet with a male friend and let him perform sexual acts on them. If they refused, "she" told them that the pictures and videos would be released for all to see. Seven boys actually submitted to this horrific request, and allowed Stancl to perform sex acts on them, or they performed sex acts on him. He took numerous pictures of these encounters with his cell phone, and the police eventually found over 300 nude images of male teens on his computer. He was charged with five counts of child enticement, two counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child, two counts of third-degree sexual assault, possession of child pornography, and repeated sexual assault of the same child and received a 15-year sentence in prison in early 2010.
Misrepresenting Yourself
Anytime someone uses technology in a way that causes repeated harm to another, it can be classified as cyberbullying. Setting up a fake online profile and communicating with someone for the purpose of tricking them into developing a romantic relationship – only to break up with or otherwise harm them – is wrong. It also violates Facebook's terms of service: "You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission" and "You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user."
That said, some people use pseudonyms or alter-egos online to safeguard their identity. There are a lot of legitimate reasons for doing this and as long as your behaviors do not hurt others, or mislead them in a way that causes harm to them, this is probably just fine. It really comes down to intent: Are you masking your identity to protect yourself or to cause harm to others? It is one thing to be protective of your real identity for personal privacy reasons, but it is another thing entirely to create an alternative identity for the purpose of humiliating, harassing, or hurting someone else.
Some might argue that catfishing is harmless Internet fun and that people should know better than to enter into any significant relationship with another person they only know digitally. It is true that people need to take care not to put themselves into situations where they could fall for someone who doesn't really exist. However, that does not make it OK to use technology to mislead someone, and leads to a "victim-blaming" mentality that gets us nowhere. To be sure, everyone needs to be skeptical and cautious when entering into online relationships. Those who do should consider using Skype, Facetime, or some other video-chatting service that will allow you to see and interact in real-time with the person you are communicating with. You should be suspicious if the other person continues to be hesitant about wanting you to see them in real life or online. Also, don't give out too much personal information, especially early on, and never go by yourself to meet someone in person who you only know from online. Go with a friend – or better yet a group of friends. They can protect you if something turns out to be not what it seems.
It is easy to be blinded by feelings of affection, especially when someone is giving you more positive attention than you have ever gotten from anyone else before. Just remember to stop and think about the possibility that someone might be taking advantage of you and proceed with the utmost caution. As they say, if something (or in this case someone) seems too good to be true, it probably is.

President Barack Obama's reelection campaign manager on Thursday accused Mitt Romney of expressing insufficient outrage at a conservative super PAC's reported plan for a " hate-filled, divisive campaign of character assassination" against the incumbent.
According to a copy of the plan obtained by the New York Times, the group hopes to highlight ties between Obama -- who is referred to as a "metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln" -- and his controversial former pastor Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.'s "black liberation theology."
"This morning's story revealed the appalling lengths to which Republican operatives and SuperPacs apparently are willing to go to tear down the President and elect Mitt Romney," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement.
"The blueprint for a hate-filled, divisive campaign of character assassination speaks for itself. It also reflects how far the party has drifted in four short years since John McCain rejected these very tactics," he said.
The Democratic strategist's message came shortly after his counterpart on the Romney campaign, Matt Rhoades, said that the presumptive Republican nominee would "repudiate" the politics of "character assassination."
"Once again, Governor Romney has fallen short of the standard that John McCain set, reacting tepidly in a moment that required moral leadership in standing up to the very extreme wing of his own party," said Messina.
Rhoades had seized on the report to score a few political points of his own, saying that "unlike the Obama campaign, Gov. Romney is running a campaign based on jobs and the economy, and we encourage everyone else to do the same."
"President Obama's team said they would 'kill Romney,' and, just last week, David Axelrod referred to individuals opposing the president as 'contract killers.' It's clear President Obama's team is running a campaign of character assassination. We repudiate any efforts on our side to do so," said Rhoades.
The splashy "kill Romney" quote came from an anonymous Democratic strategist, quoted in Politico, not from the Obama campaign.

Third Way "Solution" to Foreclosure Fraud? Limits on Rule of Law

Late Night: Bush's Version of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
|By: Swopa Friday November 26, 2010 8:00 pm
A chief executive whose mental gears were engaged might have thought to himself, "Hmm, wait a second. Why would Scooter lie, to the point of obstructing justice, if he wasn't involved in the leak to Novak?" He might have been even more suspicious when his vice president compared Libby to "a soldier on the battlefield" — implying that Libby's crimes were committed on behalf of the administration.
Non-Revelation of Cheney-Bush Rift over Libby Distracts from Bigger Cover-Up

Today's news will be dominated with Bush's admission that Cheney was mad at him for not pardoning Libby. As the press is distracted with a rehashing of the successful cover-up of one of Bush's crimes, we ought to remember that today marks the successful cover-up of a more horrible crime.
"You Lie!" Wilson's Bad Timing Missed Obama's Bad Faith
|By: emptywheel Friday October 8, 2010 1:35 pm
Presidents continue to taint their once-cherished soap boxes with false statements that quickly become exposed as such, whether about the need to go to war in Iraq or the benefits of the health care reform bill.
Why Isn't Obama Clearing Brush on PDB Day?

Nine years ago today, George W Bush was informed that "Al Qaeda [was] determined to strike in US."
And then he went out to clear more brush at his pig farm in Crawford.
Karl Rove's Self-Delusions Hit New Heights–Forgets He Outed Valerie Plame
|By: emptywheel Thursday July 15, 2010 3:30 pm
Aside from the fact that Karl Rove's latest Wall Street Journal op-ed operates on the erroneous foundation that the Administration shared all the intelligence they juiced up with Congress (they didn't), the entire op-ed is based on an absolutely delusional sense of timing.
About that Budget…
|By: Jane Hamsher Friday July 2, 2010 6:01 am
I don't know about you, but I am just tickled pink that Nancy Pelosi punted on passing a budget and handed responsibility for cutting the deficit by 3% of GDP to the fucking Republican CEO of Honeywell.
Imagine a World without Oil
|By: Tony Collings Thursday June 10, 2010 3:45 pm
Not only the Gulf disaster but several wars, tension with Iran, and terrorism directly or indirectly could link back to our addiction to oil, says former CNN foreign correspondent Tony Collings.
If Ever You Doubted Water-Boarding KSM Was a Bad Decision…
|By: emptywheel Thursday June 3, 2010 4:15 pm
The really telling bit about this news is that it puts the decision to waterboard KSM right there next to the decision to launch a war of choice rather than focus on beating the terrorists who attacked us. That is, it puts Bush's decision to embrace torture right there next to what many consider one of the biggest foreign policy mistakes in history.

Governor-elect Butch Otter has named his chief of staff: Jeff Malmen, who filled the same role for former Gov. Phil Batt and has been chief of staff in Otter's congressional office for the past six years. Malmen also has served as executive director of the Idaho Republican Party and as a staffer for Sens. Larry Craig and Steve Symms. Said Otter, "I have relied on him for years to deliver sound advice and effective management, and I'm grateful that he's agreed to continue in that role."
Malmen, 39, is a native of Picabo who attended Boise State University. He and wife Erika have two sons, Connor and Liam.

Package: vision
Find Cartesian coordinates of lines that are described by rho and theta pairs
The HoughLines object finds Cartesian coordinates of lines that are described by rho and theta pairs. The object inputs are the theta and rho values of lines and a reference image. The object outputs the one-based row and column positions of the intersections between the lines and two of the reference image boundary lines. The boundary lines are the left and right vertical boundaries and the top and bottom horizontal boundaries of the reference image.
H = vision.HoughLines returns a Hough lines System object, H, that finds Cartesian coordinates of lines that are described by rho and theta pairs.
H = vision.HoughLines(Name,Value) returns a Hough lines object, H, with each specified property set to the specified value. You can specify additional name-value pair arguments in any order as (Name1, Value1,...,NameN,ValueN).
|Code Generation Support
|Supports MATLAB® Function block: Yes
|System Objects in MATLAB Code Generation.
|Code Generation Support, Usage Notes, and Limitations.
Method to calculate sine values used to find intersections of lines
Specify how to calculate sine values which are used to find intersection of lines as Trigonometric function, or Table lookup. If this property is set to Trigonometric function, the object computes sine and cosine values it needs to calculate the intersections of the lines. If it is set to Table lookup, the object computes and stores the trigonometric values it needs to calculate the intersections of the lines in a table and uses the table for each step call. In this case, the object requires extra memory. For floating-point inputs, this property must be set to Trigonometric function. For fixed-point inputs, the property must be set to Table lookup. The default is Table lookup.
Spacing of the theta-axis
Specify the spacing of the theta-axis. This property applies when you set the SineComputation property to Table lookup.
|Create hough lines object with same property values
|Number of expected inputs to step method
|Number of outputs from step method
|Locked status for input attributes and nontunable properties
|Allow property value and input characteristics changes
|Output intersection coordinates of a line described by a theta and rho pair and reference image boundary lines
I = imread('circuit.tif');
Create an edge detector, Hough transform, local maxima finder, and Hough lines objects.
hedge = vision.EdgeDetector; hhoughtrans = vision.HoughTransform(pi/360,'ThetaRhoOutputPort', true); hfindmax = vision.LocalMaximaFinder(1, 'HoughMatrixInput', true); hhoughlines = vision.HoughLines('SineComputation','Trigonometric function');
Find the edges in the intensity image
BW = step(hedge, I);
Run the edge output through the transform
[ht, theta, rho] = step(hhoughtrans, BW);
Find the location of the max value in the Hough matrix.
idx = step(hfindmax, ht);
linepts = step(hhoughlines, theta(idx(1)-1), rho(idx(2)-1), I);
View the image superimposed with the longest line.
imshow(I); hold on; line(linepts([1 3])-1, linepts([2 4])-1,'color',[1 1 0]);
This object implements the algorithm, inputs, and outputs described on the Hough Lines block reference page. The object properties correspond to the block parameters.

ROCKLIN, CA—Police have made arrests in a graffiti spree that cost the Rocklin High School twenty thousand dollars to clean-up.
Those arrested are former Rocklin High students. Brett Imwalle, Monika Henderson, and a 17 year-old girl have all been taken into custody on felony charges. Police say they caught the teenagers because of text messages they sent to students at the school, bragging about what they'd done. They were also able to match the hand-writing in the spray paint to hand writing on old assignments turned in at Rocklin High when they were still students there.
Students attending the school now say they're angry about the damage done to their school.
"They took it to another level and totally disrespected our school," said Maddie Lowell, also a freshman.
Students say they are worried that the school may have to cut programs because of the 20-thousand dollar clean-up bill. They've taken up a collection to help pay for the damages.

It seems that Summer is a good time to start fresh. And for some, that means finding a new relationship.
Although doing so is fraught with pitfalls and mishaps that could only happen on Pandora, millions of people summon up their courage and write a personality profile in hope of meeting a potential new mate. The drive to connect deeply with another human being is something so ingrained in many of us that even the fact of our difficult pasts will not deter us from this quest.
Once you have posted a picture and sent a few "winks," your next adventure will be getting (or sending) an email to a likely candidate whose pic and profile catches your eye and imagination. The key here is not to get overly excited before you actually have met someone. I've heard of people falling in love with a picture, and you need to remember that not everyone is honest, and sometimes the pictures people post are a decade old.
Honesty on the Internet can be elusive. Some people post their age and then confess in their write-up that they lied about how old they were so they'd show up in your search (and, of course, they look and feel years younger than they are), which may be true, but starting off with a lie can't insure a good future. I recommend being truthful about everything because the person you date will find out sooner or later.

Hope for Belper Goes Green
The second Belper Goes Green Eco Festival hit town at the end of May just as the weather turned from very wet to beautifully sunny!
The greener fingered among the church congregations had spent the previous few weeks nurturing tomato seedlings among other things ready for the festival weekend.
The Hope marquee housed a temporary nursery, encouraging youngsters to get enthusiastic about growing things. Over the Saturday of the festival weekend around 150 children dragged willing (to varying degrees) parents in to our tent and got their hands in to some lovely compost, repotting the seedlings in to larger plant pots and taking them away in the hope of juicy tomatoes to come.
We also had an excellent array of fair trade products for sale and a display about what goes in to one of 'The Basic Idea' food parcels.
Particular mention should go to Gareth Stoddart for rescuing us with the erection and dismantling of the Hope marquee – one of these days we'll actually make sense of the labelling. Thank you also to all those who helped out on the day (in particular our very own Percy Thrower in Kate Greenwood), but also to all who had a go at the growing.
Show Time!
Last month saw Belper churches hire the Ritz Cinema for a special matinee performance of 'Despicable Me 2'.
Arrangements were made and tickets went out to the Children's Centres and Primary schools. Over 80 children, parents and grandparents came on the day and for some it was their first time at the Ritz. Dozens of cakes and cookies were baked and every last one eaten up by some very excited cinema goers!
There are times when day to day life stretches all of us and illness, financial concerns and emotional upset can get the better of us – so it was a great delight to once again be able to extend a very simple hand of unconditional love through this project.
We hope that everyone who got tickets enjoyed the afternoon and thank you to all who contributed in organising and running the afternoon.
Hope hampers help families celebrate
Hope for Belper bought together folks from across the congregations to put together Christmas Hampers for those of our neighbours who through numerous circumstances would have been unable to celebrate Christmas with a festive family meal.
Christians from many local churches responded with amazing generosity to sponsor hampers to the tune of £1,600. This meant that on the day we were able to shop for and put together 33 hampers instead of the initial 20 planned.
The staff at the Sure Start Children's Centre were delighted to be able to support so money more families in this way.
Many thanks to all those who supported the project again this year, from some anecdotal feedback and a note from one family the provision of these hampers means a lot to those who receive them.
Many thanks also goes to 'Inspirepac' for specially making and gifting the hamper boxes to order.
- Christmas Eve also saw Hope for Belper out on the Market Place once again supporting the Town Council Carol Service. This event is always well attended and the cup of hot chocolate has become a fixture over the years.
Around 500 cups were served and our thanks go to the management of The Black Swan for once again allowing us to work out of their kitchen and also to No.28 for supplying tables.
Belper cubs provide cheque cheer for Hope
Earlier this year you may have been lucky enough to have your bags packed at Morrisons by a keen bunch of local Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from the 1st Openwoodgate Scout group.
Over a six hour stint, children from all three age groups and supervised by Leaders and parents, raised nearly £1000 from their efforts!
It was decided that the monies should be split between the pack's funds and Hope for Belper, which among other projects operates the Basic Idea food bank in the town.
Pictured are four of Hope for's trustees, Caroline Stoddart, Helen Greenwood, Paul Linford and Gareth Greenwood, receiving a cheque for £474 from some of the cubs involved in the bag pack.
The presentation took place at the cubs' weekly Wednesday evening gathering at St Mark's Church, Openwoodgate.
Sharon Marshall, the Group Scout Leader said it was "great to see the children all working together and helping others."
Hope for Belper chair Gareth Greenwood added: "We are thrilled that the scout groups have chosen to be so generous towards their town, in giving half the money raised towards Hope projects!"
Belper featured in new Street Angels book
Belper's Street Angels project is featured in a new book about how Street Angels have been making a difference up and down the country.
The e-book is written by Paul Blakey MBE who started up Street Angels and who came to Belper to help launch our own project in June 2012.
It is available for download on Amazon Kindle and can also be downloaded to any device as a PDF.
A minimum donation of £5 is suggested for the book, proceeds of which are going towards Street Angels projects nationwide. You can donate here.
The project was originally launched by Hope for Belper last year and celebrated its first anniversary in June.

Apple Tablet Geared as Kindle Killer
Updated for stock-price movement
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With the Amazon (AMZN) Kindle in its sights, Apple (AAPL) has finally pulled the trigger on its long-debated Tablet .
Apple has plans to start production of its 10-inch touchscreen e-book, and the first model is due to arrive as early as March, according to Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner, citing information from suppliers. This report confirms earlier rumors that suppliers were gearing up for a February kickoff of the Apple Tablet.
Apple has also been working on terms with publishers that would split the revenue of electronic book sales by a 30/70 ratio, with book companies getting the larger cut, writes Reiner. The terms would be a departure from the even split that Amazon shares with publishers.The Tablet, or iPad, has captivated the imagination of enthusiasts and sparked debates among gadget fans and investors for more than a year as they eagerly await a new blockbuster device from Apple. Tablet-sized e-readers are a growing niche among players like Sony (SNE) and Barnes and Noble (BKS). But Apple fans may find a me-too e-book a bit beneath the vaunted standards of a Steve Jobs-driven project. Apple has been working on the iPad for two years. CEO Jobs has reportedly taken a personal interest in the product, finding early versions unsuitable for release. The product's lengthy road to launch and rumors of a possible partnership with Verizon have raised expectations that Apple may finally have a breakthrough product that could build on the success of the iPhone and the Mac computer line.

[This is the second of three posts outlining the life of George W. Hatton, a 19th century soldier, clergyman and political organizer. First installment here.]
2. Politics
After the war, George W. Hatton appears to have returned to Washington, D.C., where his father Henry was living. In the years after the war he married a woman named Frances. The two of them were living in Washington's 4th Ward at the time of the 1870 U.S. Census, he employed at the Globe newspaper, and Frances (age 25) "keeping house." As early as 1867 he was approached to serve on the D.C. council, but declined. In 1869, Hatton did serve on the "Common Council" for the District of Columbia. At the time, D.C. had three levels of governance: (1) the mayor and city department heads, (2) aldermen, and (3) the common council. This one term seems to be to only period he held public office, but he remained very active in Republican politics and was a speaker at veterans' reunions. On Decoration Day (now Memorial Day) in 1871, he was part of a delegation of men and women who made the trek across the Potomac to the grounds of Arlington House, to hold a commemoration ceremony for the African American troops who had died during the war and were buried there on the grounds. What they found was recounted in the New Orleans Semi-Weekly Louisianan, June 15, 1871:
While services were in progress at the tomb of the "Unknown" Comrade Charles Guthridge, John S. Brent, and Beverly Tucker, of Thomas R. Hawkins Post, No. 14 G.A.R., followed by Greene's Brass Band, Colonel Perry Carson's Pioneer Corps of the 17th District, Butler Zouaves, under the command of Charles B. Fisher, and a large number of colored persons proceeded to the cemetery on the colored soldiers to the north of the mansion, and on arriving there they found no stand erected, no orator or speaker selected, not a single flag placed on high, not even a paper flag at the head boards of these loyal but ignored dead, not even a drop of water to quench the thirst of the humble patriots after their toilsome march from the beautifully decorated grand stand above to this barren neglected spot below. At 2 ½ o'clock P.M., no flowers or other articles coming for decorative purposes, messengers were dispatched to the officers of the day for them; they in time returned with a half dozen (perhaps more) rosettes, and a basket of flower leaves. Deep was the indignation and disappointment of the people. A volley of musketry was fired over the graves by Col. Fisher's company. An indignation meeting was improvised, Col. Fisher acting president. A short but eloquent address was made by George Hatton, who was followed by F. G. Barbadoes, who concluded his remarks by offering the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that the colored citizens of the District of Columbia hereby respectfully request the proper authorities to remove the remains of all loyal soldiers now interred at the north end of the Arlington cemetery, among paupers and rebels, to the main body of the grounds at the earliest possible moment.
Resolved, that the following named gentlemen are hereby created a committee to proffer our request and to take such further action in the matter as may be deemed necessary to a successful accomplishment of our wishes: Frederick Douglass, John M. Langston, Rev. Dr. Anderson, William J. Wilson, Col. Charles B. Fisher, William Wormley, Perry Carson, Dr. A. T. Augusta, F. G. Barbadoes.
If any event in the whole history of our connection with the late war embodied more features of disgraceful neglect, or exhibited more clearly the necessity of protecting ourselves from insult, than this behavior at Arlington heights, we at least acknowledge ignorance of it.
We say again that no good, but only harm can result from keeping up the recollection of the bitter strife and bloodshed between North and South, and worse still, in furnishing occasion to white Unionists of proving their hypocrisy towards the negro in the very presence of our dead.
Note that William Wormley would be the same Billy Wormley who, with George Hatton, defied the Washinton police to shoot outside the USCT recruiting office eight years previously. The black soldiers' graves were never moved; rather, the boundaries of Arlington were gradually expanded to encompass them, in what is now known as Section 27. Most of the graves, originally marked with simple wooden boards, were subsequently marked with proper headstones, though many are listed as "unknown." In addition to the black Union soldiers interred there, roughly 3,800 civilians, mostly freedmen, lie there as well, many under stones with the simple, but profoundly important, designation of "citizen." The remains of Confederate prisoners buried there were removed in the early 1900s to a new plot on the western edge of the cemetery complex, where the Confederate Monument would be dedicated in 1914.
An early view of the National Cemetery at Arlington, 1867. The area north of the Arlington House where slaves, freedmen, USCTs and Confederate prisoners were buried was not maintained at the time as part of the soldiers' cemetery, and looked far different than the neat, ordered rows shown here. Although the USCT burial ground was eventually incorporated into the National Cemetery as Section 27, it continues to be a source of dispute and controversy. Library of Congress.
