The media originally reported the wrong name of the alleged shooter. (The suspected killer was Ryan Lanza, they breathlessly reported. Turns out it was actually Ryan's brother, Adam.) Then, some in the media advertised Ryan's Facebook and Twitter page. (This, of course, brings to mind Brian Ross' irresponsible and premature on-air suggestion over the summer that the Aurora shooter was a tea party member.)
As if those cases of egregiously mistaken identity weren't enough, producers and reporters began trolling Twitter, seeking to proposition friends and relatives of the victims for an interview.
Meanwhile, others staked out the young survivors, and then proceeded to conduct on-air interviews with these young children. This was unseemly and superfluous. As TIME's James Poniewozik wrote, "There is no good journalistic reason to put a child at a mass-murder scene on live TV, permission of the parents or not."
I don't blame the individual reporters or producers. They are merely players in a screwed-up game. And don't fool yourself: The media is responding to market demand that you help fuel.
But if you're wondering why the public dislikes the media, scummy behavior like this doesn't help.

Baa Bahu aur Baby: This is one show which has been unique right from its conception, and we are proud to say that it has stayed unique!! The weekend is treated by The Thakkars who entertain us with a meaning. The audience were indeed given a huge shock with Pravina�s death, but the new arrivals in the form of Devki and Birju have set the show rolling again. The crispy masala of the Thakkar household is all set to entertain us as usual... We would just say that �Hats off� to the creatives for not relenting to the usual melodramas we see for the other shows!
Champion Chalbaaz No.1: 'Wow' is what we can say here!! This show just started on Saturday, and it's already attracting many viewers. The judges, Cyrus Broacha and Sajid Khan, are both hilarious and the concept of the show is very interesting. We can't wait to see what the contestants do next to others, and what fun they have... definitely a fun-filled show to watch!
Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan: Although the family is full of sorrow from Suryakant's death, there is a possibility that he could still be alive. Lakshmi is now fighting for her own rights, and it seems like Dev and the sisters are winning against Pavitra... Although there are some setbacks, the show still seems to be moving on in terms of the 'vamps' of the show. We hope to see some happiness and for Pavitra to be caught soon!
Choona Hai Aasmaan: This week, Choona Hai Aasmaan was full of twists and turns, as everyone in the HAWKS have proof that the traitor is one amongst them. This caused a lot of different things to happen - Sameera almost wanting to quit the team, and Samrat having a huge anger outburst... but who is this "unfaithful HAWK"?? Hopefully viewers will find out this week, as the suspence continues to grow and grip the audiences!
Thumbs Down
Kasturi: To come or not to come was the question of this show in this section, but finally it made its way out here. The creatives don�t know what they are showing and the audience don�t know what they are watching. Kasturi wants revenge of her first husband Raunak from her current husband Robbie and her mother-in-law is dead sure to foil her sweet daughter-in-law�s plans. Did that sound �clich�d�? Did we hear it somewhere before? Have we seen it somewhere before? Yes we have, and that's why Kasturi is a Thumbs Down this week... please show us something fresh and new!!
Kumkum - Ek Pyaara Sa Bandan: Either the creatives of this show have lost their creativity or the audiences are not tired to see this �so called� creativity. First Sharman married Sia, and now Neeti married Rahul -meaning that Neeti now became readymade mother of Rahul�s two teenage girls... sounds confusing, doesn't it? And to worsen all of this, Sumit-Kumkum - the very lovable and adorable pair of Indian television - are not showing any signs of patch up. This show which is always packed with powerhouse performances, now seems to be deteriorating... please, bring it to a Thumbs Up!
Love Story: This show, although usually always interesting the viewers, is brought down to the Thumbs DOWN section of this week - however, it's not because it has stopped attracting the viewers. The Akash-Shruti is continued to being loved by all, but why are the Creatives slowly showing Dev as negative? His shades of grey are scaring us all, because we are so used to seeing him as a positive character all this time. Hopefully he isn't a negative character in the story!

Led by co-owners with backgrounds in professional dance, the experienced instructors at Pilates Studio City cultivate carved torsos with exercises that target the core. During personalized private sessions, pupils to bend into Pilates poses or the shape of their own initials atop a mat and sliding equipment such as the Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda chair. Teachers also divide their attention among students of all levels during group classes, which range from Level 1 mat sessions to dynamic Nia workouts. Nia blends elements of dance, martial arts, and the healing arts into a series of 52 movements that rotate from session to session to keep muscles from getting bored.
Fitness blooms at three locations, which together host more than 130 classes each week. The Studio City location surrounds exercisers in rustic wooden walls, in contrast with the floor-to-ceiling mirrors and undulating modern lines of the Porter Ranch studio's décor. Mat classes at The Annex stretch and bend beneath a large photo mural of a forest so that students can draw inspiration from branches' ability to hold themselves indefinitely in plank pose.

The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
Saphira, the matriarch and founder of Saffron Dance, didn?t even exist 20 years ago, much like ?I survived Y2K? bumper stickers. Saphira was known as Rachael Galoob-Ortega, a lawyer who practiced in DC and Florida for a decade. But her high-power career and hefty paycheck couldn?t extinguish her passion for dance. And so she became Saphira, an international belly-dance artist and instructor with numerous accolades, including being featured in American Belly Dancer, a documentary about belly dance in the United States.
Saphira opened Saffron Dance six years ago, and along with 18 fellow instructors, channels her years of expertise into dance courses that get progressively more challenging from week to week. Welcoming all levels, her classes teach both Egyptian-inspired belly dance and community-focused tribal belly dance. Regardless of the class type, Saphira and her teachers encourage pupils to express their unique voices through dance, all while keeping proper alignment, mastering precision, and having fun.
Taking diners on a journey through the regions of India, the artisan cuisine at The Menu runs the culinary gamut from sizzling tandoori chicken to fluffy naan, each dish composed of fresh, organic, and healthful ingredients. Puffy samosas and crispy kale pakoda are lightly fried in grape-seed oil, while curries are prepared with almonds and other nuts to create a rich, creamy consistency free from the fattiness of cream. These cooking practices are part of The Menu's commitment to promoting organic food and healthy sustainable living as an active member of the organic movement. In addition to earth-friendly food, part of The Menu's mission is to be a positive and hands-on member of their community and support local schools and charities through fundraising and nutritional food dives.
Spanning 10,000 square feet, The Menu's interior includes a dining room, wine bar, full stage, and private banquette hall for up to 150 people. On Thursday evenings, the sounds of live jazz fill the expansive space, delighting guests and the hot-air-balloon pilots who transported them there.
When he returned from Vietnam as a US Army Ranger in 1969, Doctor of Chiropractic Watson brought back a souvenir that would change his life: a severely injured back. Disillusioned with the impersonal approach of his medical team, he refused surgery, even though his pain persisted. Finally, a friend recommended chiropractic care, which not only relieved Dr. Watson's discomfort but also inspired him to become a chiropractor himself. His commitment to the surgery-free, holistic discipline was redoubled years later, when his 12-year-old daughter was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. Dr. Watson devoted his days and nights to scoliosis research, and his office became a certified scoliosis treatment center.
Today, Dr. Watson alchemizes his own health successes into a chiropractic practice that helps others lead lives free of pain and anvil-stuffed backpacks. Aside from treating aches with rehabilitation and chiropractic machines, he renders sleeker figures with nutrition counseling and Zerona treatments.

A cursory look at the Third National Climate Assessment released Tuesday by the National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee yields a grim outlook. The authors state that climate change is already beginning to impact nearly every sector of the economy—and that's not all: It's already threatening human health and well being and adversely affecting our infrastructures, our water resources, our crops, our livestock, and our natural ecosystems. What's more, planning efforts to adapt and mitigate the problem are facing serious limitations.
Mariam Raqib remembers a childhood in Afghanistan where majestic Acacia trees lined the streets of Kabul and wheat grew in the fields outside her family's home near the city of Jalalabad. That is not the Afghanistan Ms. Raqib found upon returning decades after she and her family fled the Soviet occupation of the 1980s. Forests were felled, irrigation systems destroyed, and farmlands abandoned.

Salvation (full set) composed by Robert W. Smith. For concert band. Symphony Band series. Grade 4. Score and set of parts. Duration 4 minutes, 33 seconds. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.012-4142-00).
The Russian hymn "Salvation Is Created" was composed by Peter Tchesnokov in 1912. Transcribed many times over the century, it has become a standard in the repertoire for choir, orchestra and band. Composer Robert W. Smith has used this timeless melody to create a new interpretive statement for the concert band. From the soft and delicate opening phrases to the contrasting full band response, the piece progresses through multiple variations and treatments. The final section of the work presents the hymn in a more standard setting leading to a powerful conclusion. Suitable for contest/festival performance as well as any concert program, this may become a standard in the repertoire. An excellent programming choice.

The other day, I arrived to my PR writing class waiting for another guest speaker to come and tell us about the so-called "real world". I sat down, scrolled through my phone, and heard my professor eagerly greet someone who just walked in. Looking up, I was surprised to see a woman accessorized with a studded belt and high-heeled ankle boots—very rocker chic (remember, I'm a fashion PR blogger!). I knew that Molly Currey, executive vice president of DKC, was going to be quite the interesting guest speaker.
Within the first few minutes, I learned that Molly hailed from Cedarburg, WI and has connections to Lady Gaga. Considering that I'm a Gaga-worshipping, Wisconsin native, she definitely had my attention. Let me tell you…her story is incredible! From holding the 1998 World Championship off-road title to beating breast cancer, she is a true example of working with a passion and…

Our keynotes, sessions, and panel discussions provide the strategies, frameworks, and thinking behind the most pressing challenges organizations face today.
Welcome to PURE 3600: Public Relations Writing, and another semester at Marquette! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable summer break!
Now that you are re-energized for the new semester, I hope you are ready to spend the next 16 weeks to learn and practice the craft of PR writing in a variety of formats and media.
This course is designed to prepare you to develop the professional-level writing skills expected of PR practitioners. We cover the basics of PR writing, including the principles of effective professional writing, understanding and reaching target audiences, finding and generating newsworthy information for print, broadcast, social media and the Web. You will study how to write and produce PR materials, including news releases, fact sheets, PSAs (audio and video), media advisories, brochures, SEO-based social media news releases, among others. The roles of the public relations practitioner, as well as ethical and legal issues in the public relations field, will also be covered.
We will use this site to access and read blog posts by your classmates. I have assigned each of you in a group for which you are responsible to read and comment blog entries by members of the group. (See blog groups on the right of this page.) More detailed instruction will be given later.
AP Stylebook is highly recommended.
I am hopeful that we together will make this class a great learning experience for all of us. My philosophy in teaching and class administration is well reflected in the following article. So please read it.
Throughout the semester, I will post a few useful websites relevant to the weekly class topics and discussion. For this week, it's about AP Style.
Purdue's Online Writing Lab is worth reading, not only just on AP Style guidelines.
Also, to prepare for your blog writing, please read "11 Tips for New Bloggers, from New Bloggers" by Professor Barbara Nixon. (You should follow her on Twitter @barbaranixon.)
I had a great pleasure hosting Molly Currey, executive creative director at Golin Harris and a Marquette alumna, who visited her alma mater last week. She was kind enough to speak to my PR Writing class, and shared with us numerous professional insights and life wisdom. At the end of her talk, we were left in awe and inspired. (See Molly's profile on Linkedin here)
Read students' blogs on her talk and their take-aways here:
Molly Currey, everyone by Claire Beyer
Passion, Creativity and Innovation by Lauren Peter
Make a Noise by Rosalee MacKinnon
Story Time with Molly Currey by Bennett Kerwin
No need for a good GPA, You must be unique by Katharine Braunschweiger
Wisdom from an alum by Ben Knuesel
Dear Class,
Molly Currey, executive creative director at Golin Harris and a Marquette alum, will visit her alma mater next Tuesday. She will also speak to our class on media relations.
Assignment 1: Prepare at least two questions for Molly. Take notes during her talk, and write a news release about her visit and her talk.
Remember that we don't have class next Thursday, Sept. 20 because I will be out of town, attending a conference in Minneapolis. So use that class time on Thursday to write the release. The release should mention her advice to PR students, her campus visit, her career success and some biographical information. The release is due before Sept. 25 class on D2L. I also need a hard copy of the press release and its accompanying planning sheet.
Assignment 2: Write a blog about three most important or valuable things you learned from Molly Currey. Include relevant examples. Due Sept. 27.
These two assignments demonstrate that PR writers should be able to use the same information to write for different objectives, formats and styles. And in this case–a news release and a blog post.
So, have fun!
Let's try to make AP Style fun!

Newcastle United players joined hundreds of mourners as MH17 victim Liam Sweeney was laid to rest today in his home city.
Manager Alan Pardew, captain Fabricio Coloccini, managing director Lee Charnley and assistant manager John Carver, among others representing the club, attended the funeral at St Mary's Catholic Cathedral in Newcastle.
Friends and family celebrated the life of the devoted Newcastle United fan in an emotional service at the cathedral before moving to a reception in Liam's honour at his beloved St James' Park. They were joined by representatives from the Referees Association.
Here we have photos, video and reaction from the funeral as well as messages of support, condolence and tribute for Liam and his family.
Good morning and welcome to a sad day in Newcastle as Toon fan Liam Sweeney, who was killed on July 17 on board Flight MH17, is laid to rest.
I'm reporter Will Metcalfe and I'm outside St Mary's Cathedral in Newcastle this morning for the funeral.
A number of mourners have already arrived. I'll be bringing you updates and messages of tribute and condolence for Liam's family as the morning progresses.
Former Sunderland player Micky Horswill is among the mourners

Mourners are gathering outside the cathedral ahead of Liam Sweeney's funeral this morning. There are several Newcastle United shirts and badges on display in tribute to the dedicated fan.

Newcastle United players including captain Fabricio Coloccini and manager Alan Pardew will attend this morning's service. Read more about the plans for today's service here, including details of which of Liam's family and friends will be delivering readings and tributes.
Prince Charles this week sent a personal letter to Liam Sweeney's father Barry. The Prince offered his condolences to the family and said
"Although I'm afraid this is rather belated, my wife and I just wanted you to know how very much our hearts go out to you following the truly unimaginable tragedy of the loss of your son, Liam, on board flight MH17."
Here's the scene outside St Mary's Catholic Cathedral in Newcastle as mourners continue to gather in the drizzle.

Barry Sweeney said earlier this week that he prays fellow MH17 victim and lifelong Newcastle fan John Alder's body would be identified before his son's funeral. Unfortunately Mr Alder's remains are yet to be identified. The Alder family will attend Liam's funeral today. Read more here.
Here's a picture of a tribute to Liam Sweeney and John Alder on the back of three mourners who have just arrived at the cathedral:

Newcastle United fans paid tribute to John and Liam at the first home game of the season at St James' Park last weekend. Wreaths were laid in the centre circle in a moving tribute and there was applause on 17 minutes in recognition of the flight number of the doomed airliner on which John and Liam tragically lost their lives.
This was one of the most moving photos from the match:
And here you can see fans laying flowers outside St James' Park in tribute to Liam and John:

Last weekend staff at Morrison's stores (where Liam worked) across the North East put aside footballing rivalries by putting on NUFC shirts to pay tribute to Liam and John. They raised thousands for Marie Curie and the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, the charities chosen by the fans' families.
Read the full story here.

As a person who worked with and knew people who died on 9/11, I find it highly offense that certain posters on here are 9/11 truthers (see M. Lieman) and believe our government was behind the attacks.
How do you know they weren't?
How many working class taxpayers will be eating dog food when they retire, if they are ever able to retire? — SOSDD
The chasm between the haves (the Bloombergs) and the have-nots (the working class – you & me) continues to grows. — SOSDD
Headline: U.S. Jobless Rate Hit 10.2% in October, Highest in 26 Years. These are the numbers the Gov't released today – what are the real numbers? — SOSDD
National, State, Local professional politicians to the hardworking taxpayers; ESAD, don't forget to pay your taxes. — SOSDD
Thanks for giving me a place to rant, I get like this after every election day …..
Also, coming up is the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down.
This marks a sad day for liberals in America, as their economic ideology was seen crashing on tv's all around the world.
I don't believe that people who think the government was behind 9/11 feel that the casualties are any less devistating, but don't believe that terrorism was the main cause. There will always be people that believe the government is hatching secret plots to sway public concern in favor of their agenda. I don't think you will find any truther that will say that the loss of life during 9/11 wasn't pointless. If they believe the government was behind the attacks it makes it more of an issue for them to find the truth.
There will always be conspiracy theories, but the loss of innocent lives still affects us all.
As a Nassau County resident I am very disturbed that the Republicans will be in control of the Nassau County legislature. They intend to revoke the home heating oil tax that was to bring in revenue of $37 million, to plug the deficit in the budget. They have no answer to get this money back except that they will end patronage (the GOP of Nassau county is known for their patronage—just look at the Town of Oyster Bay and the Town of Hempstead), and find waste in the present budget. Are they kidding? Peter Schmitt and the Republican majority will once again lead Nassau County to the brink of bankruptcy.
May G-d have mercy on our souls!
C'mon Woo, be serious, 9/11 "truthers" are just lunatics. Regarding, the Berlin Wall Anniversary, Chancellor Werkle invited President Obama to attend the anniversary, apparently because of the significant role the United States has played defending individual freedoms at multiple junctures over gererations from the Berlin air lift, through JFK (Ein ich Berliner (sp)), Ronald Regan (Gorbachov, tear down this wall), becasue he 'was too busy".
Perhaps if there was something to apologize for, he could have freed up his schedule.
Blago, you get offensive at the thought of a 9/11 truther voicing thier opinion and consipracy theories, which they have a right to do.
But then you make a generic assumption that Liberals supports the standing of the berlin wall.
Pot Meet Kettle!!!!!!
Dale Gribble, you need to learn how to read. The Soviet Union and the Left Wing have the same economic principals.
Now run along fake republican
Sorry for Dual posts, but forgot to mention
That "9/11 Truthers" are just the lunatic Left answer to the lunatic rights "birthers".
There are Looney on both sides and none of them are funny
I gotts question for Blago: What do liberals and the berlin wall have to do with eachother? I'm a liberal under 30 and it makes no sense to me.
Gotta ask–Blago, when you "Left Wing" who exactly are you referring to? Are you saying Pelosi has a 5 Year Plan? That she is planning on establishing collectives? Outlawing private ownership of property?
Those were the bedrock of the Soviet Union's economic principles. Are you really drawing the comparison, because if you are, sorry, but you are as delusional as the truthers.
#6, Why would anyone with a conscience tax home heating oil? Like taxing groceries and other necessities, this is an absolutely shameless and immoral way to treat people.
Anyone who is so addicted to OPM (Other People's Money) that they would tax the necessities of life to fatten themselves and their cronies should be prepared to pay the price. Now we know why Suozzi, et al. are gone. They deserve to be.
Voters, do not take prisoners in the next election. Vote them all out.
To the OP, it's too bad that pompous gasbag, Bloomberg, wasn't voted out. It was a close one, though. Maybe next time that self-infatuated, petty dictator will be given his walking papers.
Ah, the special session. Senate Democrats don't want to come back without an agreement to vote on.
Why even bother with the fiction of a deliberative body? If all these deals are to be made by three men in a room, why not just abolish the Senate and Assembly and make the posts of Senate Majority Leader (Whositgonnabetoday, D-NYC) and Assembly Speaker (Shelly Silver, D-NYC) a statewide office?
Office of Ganja Services reminds our empty-suit lawmakers that:
-the US Attorney General announced that federalism prevails again in the realm of medical marijuana, and as long as dispensaries are following state law they won't face prosecution;
-Upstate has plenty of fallow farmland just laying around when it's not being carved into little boxes made of ticky-tacky that all look the same;
-The fiction that is our unemployment rate is about to (if it hasn't already) hit 10%, higher when you count underemployed, discouraged, disabled, etc.; and
-The biggest cash crop in this state goes essentially untaxed, a grievous oversight considering what is taxed here;
Therefore, it is fiscally irresponsible to continue ignoring a new potential revenue stream.
The ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado recently passed legislation legalizing possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for adults over 21. Town business leaders are expecting a surge in tourism this winter.
Pay attention, Dave/Shelly/Pedro/Malcolm/John! Taxing the green will turn your red budget black. Ya might even have enough left over to hire some more girlfriends & sons to cushy chair-warming jobs!
Elmer Pelosi was a big push in the bailouts (owning private property), She believes in the redistribution of wealth by force and she's from San Fran, need more examples?
The redistribution of wealth "by force"? What are you talking about?
As the person personally attacked by Blago, who turned his back on NY-GOP to support the NY Conservative Party, I find it offensive that he fabricates the lie that I believe the US Government was behind the 9/11 attacks and demand he support his defamatory statement with any direct quote of mine where I state "The US Government Was Behind The 9/11 attacks"
If the moderators permit his personal attacks, what's wrong with my rebuttal of them?
#4. "Blago" "Also, coming up is the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down. This marks a sad day for liberals in America, as their economic ideology was seen crashing on tv's all around the world."
The Republican Party is the most pro-capitalist party in the world. The Democratic Party is the second most pro-capitalist party in the world. The effort to link American liberalism with the totalitarianism and tyranny of the old Communist East Germany is simply barnyard slander/libel and demonstrates a chidlike understanding of contemporary history.
"That "9/11 Truthers" are just the lunatic Left answer to the lunatic rights "birthers"."
There is no comparison, while both are asinine, one if flat out insane.
I know you're a liberal democrat masquerading as a disgruntled republican, so you won't get this.
Mike Lieman believe the August 6th Presidential Daily Brief laid out Bin Laden's Attack Plans "in detail" during a discussion of the 9/11 attacks and that Bush decided to not stop it.
That is 9/11 trutherism. I'm sorry you are too afraid to admit who you really are.
LawerenceGulotta, if you could read properly, you would see that I stated Economic comparions, not totalitarian.
I'm sorry reading comprehension isn't a strong point of yours.
Owe, and lets not act like american liberals weren't always crying about reagan's tear down this wall attitude.
The Stimulus worked wonders…
re: #20 – Blago,
"Owe, and lets not act like american liberals weren't always crying about reagan's tear down this wall attitude."
Does this mean anything to anybody but you? Use your words …..
"Mike Lieman believe the August 6th Presidential Daily Brief laid out Bin Laden's Attack Plans "in detail" during a discussion of the 9/11 attacks and that Bush decided to not stop it."
Thank you for confirming that I never said, "The US Government Was Behind The 9/11 attacks", and publicly admitting your fabrication and malicious attribution.
I must say, that after your recent public betrayal of the New York Republican Party, your honesty in this is somewhat refreshing.
Both are off the deep end, but this is what is called conspiracy and what has led people to think the moon landing was faked.
"I know you're a liberal democrat masquerading as a disgruntled republican, so you won't get this."
never assume someone does not understand just because you think they have a different political philosophy.
"when you assume you make an A– out of you and me !"
Michael, why do you believe that Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks and let them happen?
How is that line of thinking at all rational and why should anyone trust a word you say after preaching such extremist hatred about the American Government?
You should be a real man and hold a press conference in front of state capitol with your fellow 9/11 truthers.
I think it's funny that people who have defected from NY-GOP, disrespected Dede, and joined the NY Conservative Party of their own free will feel able to criticize anyone.
Did Benedict Arnold's opinion count after he betrayed the US?
Do these people's opinions count after they betrayed the NY-GOP?
Do you know how to READ?
"FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings"
Things heating up in Iraq again. It is all so scary. Today is a sad day.
One can be Republican and perceived as either liberal or radical. There was a time when the Republican party was filled with radical liberals who had crazy ideas like abolishing slavery, appointing black Senators (fyi, they were appointed at one time for those who didn't know), ending segregation, etc. These were individual rights issues, a GOP core value along with smaller government and states rights.
Let's remember why it became the Grand Old Party and try to continue that tradition rather than splinter.

Charlotte City Manager Ron Carlee has gone outside of the city to hire two new assistant city managers, including Hyong Yi, who is Mecklenburg Countys budget director.
Carlee also hired Ann Wall, who is an assistant city manager of Rocky Mount.
Yi and Wall replace Ruffin Hall, who left in November to become Raleighs city manager, and Julie Burch, who retired in December. They start Jan. 20.
Carlee also named Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Director Debra Campbell a permanent member of his six-person executive team. The executive team also includes Deputy City Manager Ron Kimble, current Assistant City Manager Eric Campbell and Carol Jennings, Carlees chief of staff.
Assistant city managers are usually responsible for certain parts of the city, such as transportation or housing. Carlee said he isnt certain how he will divide up duties among his team.
I want to put everything on the table, Carlee said. He said he wants his team to be able to back one another up and have complementary roles.
Yi had been the countys management and budget director for eight years.
County commissioner Pat Cotham said Monday shes sorry to see him leave the county staff.
Its our loss and the citys gain, Cotham said. ...He did a great job for us and hell do a great job for them.
Meanwhile, Mecklenburg budget manager Michael Bryant will serve as interim management and budget director, Assistant County Manager John McGillicuddy said in an email Monday.
Bryant has been with the county for 11 years and is expected to remain in the interim position through the current budgeting process that had already begun under Yi, McGillicuddy said.
But I guess we ought to be consoled by the fact that he wont be far, said Trevor Fuller, chairman of the county commission. Hyong made budgeting very approachable for people who arent immersed in that process.
Wall has worked for Rocky Mount since 1995, as director of planning and community development, budget manager and assistant city manager.
Campbell has worked for the city of Charlotte since 1988.
Council members met Monday night and heard a presentation from Finance Director Greg Gaskins about the citys annual audit.
The city has had a AAA bond rating since 1972, and Gaskins said he is confident the city will maintain it. But Gaskins said two ratings agencies Moodys, and Standard and Poors have changed how they evaluate municipalities when assigning a credit rating in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

'Twilight' phenomenon both blessing, curse for Forks
"Twilight" has been a major blessing and slight curse for Forks, a town of 3,000 or so who are partaking of the financial boon that comes with the thousands of tourists the books and movie have brought.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Video | Entering the 'Twilight' Zone
FORKS — For some reason, Randy Lato's "Vampire Voyages" boat trips just haven't brought in the big tourist bucks yet. He hasn't quite worked out a plausible connection between fishing and the fictional "Twilight" series author Stephenie Meyer set in this little Olympic Peninsula town.
Hey, look: "I've only read two books in my entire life," he said. And "Twilight" wasn't one of them. (Although it's his understanding that heroine Bella's dad was a pretty good fisherman.)
So when people ask what fishing has to do with vampires, Lato says, "We're going to float down the damn river looking for vampires climbin' up the trees just like in the movies."
He exemplifies the major blessing and slight curse that "Twilight" has become to this town of 3,000 or so, ambivalent at best toward the source material and the "Twilighters" who've overrun the place in the last year or so, but anxious to partake of the financial boon they bring. The next "Twilight" movie comes out next month.
Most other businesses haven't been shy about it, no matter how tenuous the connection — one restaurant's "Cullen's Clam Chowder" (named after the series' vampire family), a sandwich board trumpeting a pharmacy as "BELLA'S FIRST AID STATION," an espresso stand's "Twilight Brew."
"It's a huge boon. We couldn't get publicity like this ever, paying for it," said Marcia Bingham, at the Forks Chamber of Commerce — which has a red truck like Bella's parked in front.
With the town's logging industry in a slump, being overrun has been a godsend. For instance, the month of July brought nearly as many visitors — 16,000 — as the entire previous year.
Are there any drawbacks to all of it?
"You can't drive through town sometimes easily because there are fans taking photographs all along the way and they slow the traffic down," Bingham said. "It's a pretty minor price to pay."
Annette Root, owner of "Dazzled by Twilight," a large gift shop devoted entirely to the series, said more than 5,000 people from around the world have taken her $39 Twilight bus tour of the area.
"I think a lot of the ambivalence comes from this being a very small, tight community struggling with the leap from a logging community to a tourist location," she said. "But it's been a very welcome gift."
Sergei Holmquist works at one of the local businesses that "Twilight" has brought from the red into the black — the 3 Rivers Resort & Store that sells the Cullen chowder.
"I do think it's a wonderful thing for our town, but it's definitely changed it, to say the least," he said. "So many people are upset."
Others are simply baffled, such as Andrew Roberts, of Gig Harbor: "I don't really understand why people come up to Forks because of a fictional book," he said.
He read the first two books in the series to try to understand the phenomenon. Did any of it touch him on as deep an emotional level as it has the visitors? Yeah, he said: "The ending, where I realized that I finished the book and got nothing out of it."
"How much do I personally love 'Twilight'?" asked librarian Theresa Tetreau, searching for a diplomatic answer to the question. "I think what I love most about 'Twilight' is that it has introduced so many young people to reading that might not otherwise be picking up a book.
"I think it's a good thing, but there are some days when I think most people would probably tell you that they've they've got a little bit of "Twilight" fatigue, maybe."
What if Forks had been overrun by zombies instead of vampires?
Back at the Chamber of Commerce, Bingham said, "We'd find a way to make that positive, too."

Clean energy: Success story of resisting political pressure from oil lobby
Oil and gas companies have to transform themselves as energy entities
- Image Credit: Supplied
- Ed Crooks, US Industry and Energy Editor for the Financial Times addressing during the renewble energy session at the St Regis hotel in Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi: Over 15 per cent share of clean energy in world energy mix tells the story of successfully resisting the political pressure from oil and gas lobby against renewable energy projects, according to the top ranking officials from various countries.
Determined nations including the UAE, have overcome the political pressure to initiate ambitious clean energy projects, they said at a debate organised by International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) and Financial Times at the third Irena assembly in Abu Dhabi.
When a US state government announced its plan to increase share of clean energy up to 25 per cent in the energy mix, there was a huge resistance from the oil and gas industry to check that decision, an American participant among the audience said. He asked the panelists including decision makers how they tackle such political pressure.
Ed Crooks, US industry and energy editor at Financial Times, who was the moderator of the debate, asked the fellow panelist Sultan Al Jaber, UAE special envoy for Energy and Climate Change, and Chief Executive Officer of Masdar, to share the UAE's experience as the nation pioneered the clean energy initiatives in the region.
"In fact, political pressure against clean energy is not different in our country," Al Jaber said. "But we are blessed with the wise leadership of our country; without their support we would not have been able to take a single step in this direction [promoting clean energy]".
He said there were two versions on renewable energy. One version found the clean energy as a vehicle for nation building; making it competitive in the coming years, Al Jaber pointed out.
The other version finds it a threat — domestically, regionally and globally. But the wisdom of the UAE leadership supported the first version and took a bold decision to invest $15 billion in Masdar [Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company to promote clean energy]. He emphasised such a decision was taken when other countries in the region even did not think of clean energy.
He said many people in the region then criticised the UAE initiatives in clean energy.
"But the same people who criticised us followed the suit very soon!"
He said the previous critics in the region now understand that clean energy is a must. "[They realise ] it is not a luxury but a fundamental way forward!," Al Jaber said.
About Saudi Arabia's experience, Dr Khalid M Al Sulaiman, Vice President for Renewable Energy at King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (K.A.CARE) said, similar political pressure is there in his country against clean energy.
Oil and gas industry believed that clean energy was not feasible. "But now they realise that they have to utilise the clean energy." He said the basic problem is most of the oil and gas companies do not consider themselves as energy companies. "To utilise the clean energy they have to transform themselves as energy companies."
The prominent oil company Saudi Aramco has taken an initiative in that direction. "Although it may take time for such a transformation, it is a right step," Al Sulaiman pointed out.

RedHead® Classic II Wading Boots for Men - Rubber Lug Sole 5 5
not so good I have a pair of these rubber sole and there not half as good as the velt boots and the laces work loose alot. December 5, 2014
boots I purchased these boots on 2/28/14. The first time out was good, the second day the velcro straps started coming apart. this on the third and fourth day of use. The boots look good, feel good when standing in the water and when walking to and from the water, as long as the velcro stays hooked. i had a pair of the classics many years ago, but had to retire them due to the felt soles. i did not have a problem with the velcro staying hooked. fix the velcro and I will give them a 5 star rating. April 25, 2014
Boots won't stay closed Boots have good griping power on slippery surfaces but Velcro closure won't stay closed in moving water. Very upsetting to raise your foot in fast moving water and the boot comes off. Nothing I did would keep the boot on June 10, 2013
wading boot Good comfort, and good quality. Better than the ones I used to have. These are more pricey than the 19.99 boots in the same style but they seem to be worth it. Could be about 10 dollars cheaper. April 25, 2013

I'm looking for a way to make the cygwin terminal more compact, or an alternate terminal that is more compact. Currently, every command I enter has a header line above it with username and pwd, and there is a blank line trailing every command. For instance:
username ~
$ cd tmp
username ~/tmp
3 lines for every 1 line of command. I frequently work on a small screen, which makes all this wasted space quite irritating. Is there a setting somewhere I can alter to prevent all this wasted space? Or, perhaps another terminal?
Thanks in advance.

Physics Prof Teaches Astronomy to Area Youth
Youth Learn about Locating Stars in the Winter Sky
January 29, 2008
The youth learned many of the basics of astronomy with an emphasis on the winter sky from Wilmington College's Esmail Hejazifar, Ph.D., professor of physics. The unpredictable southwest Ohio winter presented a cloud-filled sky, so the actual planned viewing of the heavens was relegated to visual images in the classroom, which proved both informational and intriguing for many of the participants and their parents.
Dori Sabino, event coordinator, said, "Even though the students were disappointed they could not view the stars due to cloud cover, they enjoyed Dr. Hejazifar's classroom session that increased their knowledge of telescopes and the systems used in locating a star's position in the sky."
The group plans a return visit when the skies present a more optimum viewing opportunity.
No Child Left Indoors is a local initiative with the mission of connecting children with the natural world. More information is available by contacting Lori Williams at 382-3682.
