PHOENIX (AP) — A medical-helicopter crash in Tucson that killed three people likely was caused by a mechanic's mistake and the lack of an inspection and testing of his work, according to a recently released federal report.
The report by the National Transportation Safety Board, released last week, said the AS350 B3 Eurocopter had undergone maintenance over several days before the July 28, 2010, crash.
The report, the results of which were first reported by The Arizona Daily Star on Tuesday, says a contract mechanic likely only finger-tightened bolts, instead of using a torque wrench, when he was putting the engine back together. Maintenance personnel did not adequately inspect his work and the pilot who performed a post-maintenance check didn't follow the manufacturer's procedures, the report said.
The LifeNet helicopter left Marana and was en route to its home base in Douglas when it fell 600 feet in eight seconds, crashed into a backyard fence and burst into flames about six minutes after leaving the ground.
The crash was in a densely populated area of Tucson but no one on the ground was injured.
Killed were pilot Alexander Kelley, 61, flight nurse Parker Summons, 41, both of Tucson, and paramedic Brenda French, 28, of Safford.
Tracey Budz, a spokeswoman for LifeNet Arizona's parent company — Colorado-based Air Methods — did not immediately return a call for comment Tuesday morning.
The report does not specify whether Kelley was the pilot who improperly performed the post-maintenance check, or whether a different pilot performed it.
The check was supposed to take 35 to 40 minutes, but the pilot's check took just seven and a half minutes, the report said.
If a full check was done, the report said the problem that caused the crash likely would have been detected.
In addition, the contract mechanic who put the helicopter's engine back together "was serving as both mechanic and inspector, and he inspected his own work."
The report also says that Kelley, who had 14,000 hours of flight experience, had no training flights for nearly a year before the crash.
Although Kelley was not required to undergo additional training during that time, the report said it "may have negatively impacted the pilot's ability to maintain proficiency."
"However, because the engine failed suddenly at low altitude over a congested area, more recent training may not have changed the outcome," the report said.
The report said Kelley likely was trying to get the chopper to an open intersection about 300 feet away from the crash site, but was unable to reach it because he had to maneuver over a row of 40-foot power lines — a maneuver that depleted the engine and caused the helicopter's near-vertical plummet.

January 18, 2014
For a few years I was feeling burdened by my Pentax K-5. It did nearly everything I wanted. But… It was big. It was heavy. You know what I mean. I had been watching the rise in CSCs and M4/3 caught my eye because of the great selection of lenses. So I planned my transition. I bought a used EPL-1 with two kit lens. Played a round. It was fun inspire of the technical limitations.
So I planned it out. I sold my Pentax gear after investing in an EPL-5. The upgrade was a good camera, The EM-6 had been out quite awhile & I decided to be patient & get Olympus' upgrade. When the EM-1 came out the sticker shock was real. I bided my time & read all the reviews and waited until the back orders were mainly cleared.
When the time was right I bought it. It is everything all reviews say. Tear them. even the criticisms are true. For me it is the perfect camera. I'm not a pro so all that doesn't matter to me. The moment I held it it fit well in my average size hands. The ability to customize the controls is awesome and intimidating. The Olympus image quality is great. I already knew form the EPL-5 how to work the supper controls so I was off & running.
I know I will be keeping this camera for a long long time.
January 13, 2014
I know it will be some time before I uncover all the hidden gems in this camera, but I have been sold on Olympus since film days, and have had several Olympus digitals (C-2500L, E-20N, SP-565UZ, and two E-620s) before picking up the OM-D E-M1. I must admit that I NEVER thought I would be able to accept an Electronic ViewFinder in my primary camera, but the E-M1 demonstrates that the EVF's time has finally come. I also typically ignored Scene Modes, but was intrigued by the "Hand-Held Starlight" mode, which takes a quick sequence of shots and stacks them into one, as is typically done in astrophotography. I tried it out it recently while walking through the "Magic Christmas In Lights" nighttime display at Bellingrath Gardens in Mobile, AL. The results were spectacular! Yes, it was an expensive purchase, but I'm glad I took the plunge! [I would also add that while it's nice to be able to use my old Four-Thirds lenses, the Micro Four-Thirds lenses are so much lighter and more compact that I'll seldom travel with the old lenses!]
January 01, 2014
After a lot of research, I decided that my first DSLR would be an Olympus 4/3. Although not stellar at the time (2009), I decided to go with the entry level E-520 and invest in glass (12-60 SWD, 50-200 SWD). Since then I added extension tubes and flashes. I was becoming more and more frustrated by the E-520 capabilities and kept waiting for a significant upgrade. When it became clear that there would be no replacement for the E-5, I was getting close to jumping ship from Olympus. Thankfully, the EM-1 came out which allowed me to use the glass I had already invested in while getting a first rate professional body. This camera is amazing and blows my old E-520 away in every way. It works great with my legacy 4/3 lenses and I love the high ISO performance.
December 29, 2013
I upgraded from the Olympus E-3. The only negative thing I had about the EM-1 is the size. there is a large difference going from the Pro version of the E-3 to the EM-1. Using the Verticle Grip helps to balance the difference in the feel.
So far, I have used the camera around the house and have been impressed with the sharp image display. I have been a working pro for over 30 years and have always used Olympus for my personal camera.
The features brought in with the EM-1 I hope will bring back many of those that were hesitant in making the change waiting for the next camera in the E series line.
I was skeptical until I put it in my hands, the options took over and I could see the improvements over my former favorite camera. One of the features that helped sway my choice was the option of being able to use the full line of E series lenses I already have.
The MMF-3 adapter makes it a breeze to both maintain the splash proof seals and the investment I have in my glass. My general all around lens (the 12mm to 60mm ) feels good on the camera.
December 29, 2013
I am very impressed with this camera. With the addition of the PRO 12-40mm lens I have a setup that is second to none! I know the common argument is the price, but with the latest upgrades to the e-m1 this camera is priced in a range that compares to other cameras at the same price. Olympus is really on to something here! The new sensor is nearly perfect at high ISO's and the detail is a bit better than the e-m5! Good buy!
December 27, 2013
I don't need to mention about this camera too much. There are lots of positive reviews from experts on line. Having been used E-PL 5 with Pan 20 mm, Oly 45 mm for last one year, I had been convinced I have to buy this one and ordered it with 12-40 mm, 75 mm. Now only one week's try with 75 mm (still waiting for 12-40 mm) is not enough time to judge, but I am totally exhilarated with both of them. Only minor problem with me is my Light Room 4 can't support E-M 1 Raw file, so I am going to upgrade to LR 5..3(Using Adobe DNG converter 8.3, I noticed more noise in LR 4 than Oly viewer 3)
December 24, 2013
Great full featured camera with a wide selection of lenses. It has all of the features of my Nikon D7000 and several more that I find useful such as HDR in camera: a wide range of bracketing with 3, 5, and 7 shots instead of just 3 shots: remote control from a smartphone; and color creator for a few examples, The image quality is as good as well as the quality at high iso settings. It is very easy to quickly change settings. viewfinder is sharp and Peak Focusing helps when using manual focusing. The number of shots per second is higher with the M1 along with a much higher buffer capacity. The size and weight of the camera make it very easy to carry and shoot. I find myself taking the M1 with me almost all of the time now and taking a lot more pictures.
December 24, 2013
I hardily concur with the reviews praising this beautiful, powerful, and efficient (size wise) camera. There is little left to say that hasn't already been said, so I will dig down deep and find some faults and offer a few suggestions to Olympus...
1) The lens cap ought to come with a tether. I ordered one from eBay for $3 - problem solved.
2) The little plastic cover for the hot shoe is just begging to be accidentally knocked off and lost. Mine disappeared after one day, despite my being aware that the slightest brushing against my clothing could remove it. Now the hot shoe contacts are exposed. Should I be concerned?
Wish list: 60 fps video
So that is it. It has been a long time since I was as impressed with a product as I am with this camera. Oh, the 12-40 PRO lens is very sharp and has beautiful creamy bokeh.
December 21, 2013
I have been buying the top of the line Olympus camera starting with the E10 through the E5, and I have always been pleased with the Olympus design.
I love the features of the E-M1, but am disappointed that I can't tether this camera to my Windows computer. I shoot in my studio and have been tethering my cameras for many years. For me, this is a very important feature that is missing from this camera.
December 18, 2013
This is my first digital camera after working with film. It is beyond belief a fantastic camera. Wonderful to handle, built like a tank and extremely flexible. Expect a bit of a learning curve, even if you are fully experienced in photography. After a few weeks it all becomes second nature. To my eye, the image quality is better than 35mm film IMO. For what I do, I do not see any benefits in going full frame as the quality is fine by me.

In Open XML Word processing document markup, paragraphs contain runs, and runs contain text elements. Sometimes when transforming a document, we may want to split runs differently than in the original document. This post presents a couple of small functions that help us deal with paragraphs and runs – determine the split locations of runs, and to split runs.
Note: I no longer recommend this approach. Instead, I recommend an approach of breaking up runs into multiple runs, each with a single character. Then, you can search for text (not using a method to find a string in a string, but to use a custom method that matches up runs (each 1 character long) with characters in a string. Then you can replace the runs with the new content. Finally, you can coalesce adjacent runs with identical formatting, so that the end result is neat and clean markup. You can find a screen cast that discusses this in detail, as well as sample code to do this here.

You can send this document for review to a number of users, and after the reviewers return the documents, it would be handy to have some code that merges comments from all documents into a single document. I'm currently working on a blog post that shows how to do this. However, adding a comment to a paragraph can cause runs to be split, which adds a bit of complexity.
Paragraphs, Runs, and Text Elements
The following markup shows a very simple paragraph. We can see the paragraph element, the run element, and the text element.
<w:p> <w:r> <w:t>abcdefghi</w:t> </w:r></w:p> If we select "def" in the above text, and add a comment, the markup changes to look like this:<w:p> <w:r> <w:t>abc</w:t> </w:r> <w:commentRangeStartw:id="0"/> <w:r> <w:t>def</w:t> </w:r> <w:commentRangeEndw:id="0"/> <w:r> <w:rPr> <w:rStylew:val="CommentReference"/> </w:rPr> <w:commentReferencew:id="0"/> </w:r> <w:r> <w:t>ghi</w:t> </w:r></w:p> In this paragraph, we can see the commentRangeStart and commentRangeEnd elements. In addition, we can see a special run that contains information on the styling of the text that is commented. This special run contains a commentReference element.If we want to programmatically insert a comment into a document, we need to split runs as appropriate so that we can insert commentRangeStart, commentRangeEnd, and the special run that contains commentReference into the paragraph.Note that a paragraph can be split into runs for a variety of reasons, and that there are a number of other valid child elements of the paragraph element. For example, because the above text isn't a correctly spelled word, and isn't a sentence with proper grammar, the markup can include w:proofErr elements:<w:p> <w:proofErrw:type="spellStart"/> <w:proofErrw:type="gramStart"/> <w:r> <w:t>abc</w:t> </w:r> <w:commentRangeStartw:id="0"/> <w:r> <w:t>def</w:t> </w:r> <w:commentRangeEndw:id="0"/> <w:proofErrw:type="gramEnd"/> <w:r> <w:rPr> <w:rStylew:val="CommentReference"/> </w:rPr> <w:commentReferencew:id="0"/> </w:r> <w:r> <w:t>ghi</w:t> </w:r> <w:proofErrw:type="spellEnd"/></w:p> When splitting runs, we want to honor those existing run splits, and make sure that we don't disturb those other elements.
As Open XML developers know, content controls are very powerful features of Open XML. They enable a vast number of scenarios – we can make our documents smarter. However, they add an interesting twist to markup. The element for content controls is w:sdt, which contains another element, w:sdtContent, which contains the contents. This means that runs that we potentially want to split occur at different levels of the XML hierarchy:
<w:p> <w:r> <w:t>123</w:t> </w:r> <w:sdt> <w:sdtContent> <w:r> <w:t>4567</w:t> </w:r> </w:sdtContent> </w:sdt> <w:r> <w:t>890</w:t> </w:r></w:p>We may need to split runs at any level - as a child of the paragraph, or as content in a content control. We need to use a recursive transform to do the transform, which then handles this issue nicely.Determining Run Split Locations
The first piece of functionality that we need is a method to return an array of integers indicating where run splits are. If we are moving comments from one document to another, then we want to find out where the run splits are in the source document so that we can create the same run splits in the destination document.
Here's the prototype of simple method to do so:
staticint[] RunSplitLocations(XElement paragraph)
The following paragraph markup contains three runs:
<w:p> <w:r> <w:t>abc</w:t> </w:r> <w:commentRangeStartw:id="0"/> <w:r> <w:t>def</w:t> </w:r> <w:commentRangeEndw:id="0"/> <w:r> <w:rPr> <w:rStylew:val="CommentReference"/> </w:rPr> <w:commentReferencew:id="0"/> </w:r> <w:r> <w:t>ghi</w:t> </w:r></w:p> If we call RunSplitLocations for this paragraph, it returns an array that contains:036Splitting Runs
If we have another document that contains no comments in this paragraph, and we want to split runs so that we can insert a comment on the middle three characters, we can call another method that takes an array of integers to do the splitting:
publicstaticXElement SplitRunsInParagraph(XElement p, int[] positions)
If we have a paragraph with this markup:
<w:p> <w:r> <w:t>abcdefghi</w:t> </w:r></w:p> And we call SplitRunsInParagraph passing an array that contains 0, 3, and 6, it returns a paragraph that looks like this:<w:pxmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"> <w:r> <w:t>abc</w:t> </w:r> <w:r> <w:t>def</w:t> </w:r> <w:r> <w:t>ghi</w:t> </w:r></w:p> As I previously mentioned, the paragraph may contain child elements other than runs. SplitRunsInParagraph will leave those other elements in place. Also, a run can contain styling information, which we also want to leave in place.
Now that we have some methods to determine where run splits are, and to create run splits, it will be pretty simple to write a pure functional transform to move comments from one document to another (if the documents contain the exact same content, with the exception of comments).
The Code
The following example contains RunSplitLocations and SplitRunsInParagraph. This code uses a node cloning technique similar to what I presented in this post. In addition, the code uses the pre-atomization approach that I showed in this post. This code implements a pure functional transformation - no side effects anywhere, which will make it easy to use when writing the next transformation.
Here's the code (also attached):

How to insert a comment in a paragraph after finding a specific text.
Hi Syed,
This would be a process of splitting nodes at the point where you want to attach the comment. In other words, if you want the comment attachment point to start at some point in the paragraph, and end at another point, runs must be split at those points. This would make a good blog post - I'll add it to my list.
Hi Eric,
Is it possible to split runs such that each word comes in a different run(when there is no difference in style within the word).
Hi Sandeep,
It certainly is possible. You can use the Open XML SDK to process a document and arbitrarily split runs, even if there is no formatting differences. There is no functionality to do this automatically in the SDK - you have to manipulate the markup directly. Try it out - use the Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Office System to open a DOCX file, find a run, copy and paste it, and modify the contents of the two runs appropriately, then save and open it using Word. The document will look the same. Note that there is no guarantee that Word will not combine the runs, although I believe that it doesn't do so in Word 2007.
Eric, I think all of that makes sense, but all i want to do is to replace all the contents in a content control with some text.....right now the problem is that i use this code:
// Replace Content of a Text Content Control with the specified string
public void ChangeTextContentControlText(OpenXmlElement cc, string txt)
cc.Descendants<WP.Text>().First().Text = txt;
// Do nothing if there is an error....just skip the replacement.
Which i know is deficient as it only replaces the first text run.......but i totaly don't get how to do what seems like a simple thing....replace all the "crap" inside the content control with a single run of text.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Hi Paul,
Find the w:sdtContent element, delete all of its children elements, then new up a new paragraph as a child of the w:sdtContent element. You can add paragraph properties (w:pPr) as a child of the paragraph (w:p) element, and you can add run properties (w:rPr) as a child of the run that you insert.
If you like, before deleting the children of the w:sdtContent element, you can grab the paragraph and run properties out of the existing content, and then add those properties back into the new content that you are generating.
Cheers, Eric

37-year-old cook and a 72-year-old man lodged in jail
Police arrested a 37-year-old cook (bajji master) and a 72-year-old man on charges of raping and sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl, and the girl's father and stepmother for failing to report the case to the police, at Pallathur near Karaikudi on Friday. Swiftly acting on the orders of Collector V. Rajaraman, a team of District Child Welfare Committee (CWC) officials and police, led by Karaikudi DSP Mangaleswaran, arrested the offenders in just six hours, after launching the investigation on Friday morning.
Subramani (37), the bajji master and Aathan (72), father of four daughters from nearby Kotharai, were arrested under section 376 of IPC (rape) and sections 5(l) (aggravated penetrative sexual assault), 7(l) (aggravated sexual abuse) and 12 (sexual harassment) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, the new central act, which came into force on November 14, 2012.
Police said that the duo admitted to the crime, produced before the Judicial Magistrate Court, Karaikudi, and remanded in judicial custody.

Ebooks will take off eventually, but they don't offer any major advantages over dead-tree books at the moment. And for each advantage there's also a disadvantage.
Now if they were half the price, that might not matter. Or if paperbacks were sold with a redemption code for the eBook thrown in for free they might be able to slowly slide into greater use.
But at the moment they're just not viable. £200 is a lot. I might consider though if it did what my iPod did - let me carry my entire book collection about with me. But it doesn't. In fact I'd have to re-buy every book I want to read on it. Would the iPod ever have taken off if it'd only play albums you bought off iTunes? And they were the same price as the CDs. And you'd have to rebuy all the old ones. No chance.
The convenience and ease of use of an eBook reader really appeals to me. But I have 100s of unread books. If I can't read those on it it's no use whatsoever.
Imagine carrying the lastes SCE/CoE omnibus around with you. In fact, imaging carrying two of them. Can you do it? Do you want to do it? Now imagine carrying around a device that is about the same size as a regular paperback, slightly wider, not as thick, and slightly heavier. Now imagine the SCE/CoE eBook on it able to be read when you want without the hassle of having to carry such heavy omnibuses. It's well worth it.

The banquet was held in the cafeteria of Southern Vance High School. Webb-Lewis, who has been teaching at Henderson Middle for the last eight years, was selected from an outstanding field of educators as the local Teacher of the Year. She will now go on to represent her colleagues in regional and state competition for the North Carolina Teacher of the Year. Her selection marks the third consecutive year, and the fourth time out of the last five years, that the Teacher of the Year has been a member of the faculty at Henderson Middle School. The last six recipients of the district's Teacher of the Year award have been middle school teachers. Webb-Lewis has always been a highly respected member of Henderson Middle's faculty during her teaching career. Henderson Middle School is the only school in which she has ever taught. Eight years ago, Webb-Lewis decided to become a teacher after a lengthy and successful career in the corporate world. As a math teacher, Webb-Lewis' students have consistently each year had some of the highest scores and academic achievements in the county. For the last two school years, Webb-Lewis had a student who made a perfect score, first on the seventh- Tessa Webb-Lewis holds the Vance County Schools' grade state end-of-grade test, and then on the eighth-grade Algebra I state end-of- Teacher of the Year plaque for the 2009-2010 school year course test.

Following the interviews, three finalists were selected and committee members then visited with them and their students in their classrooms. In addition to Webb-Lewis, the finalists were Sharon Hopper of Zeb Vance, as the first runner up, and Iris Ioyoda-Lacson of Clark Street, as the second runner up. In accepting her award, Webb-Lewis told an audience of approximately 150 people, "This has been a journey. It was eight years ago that I decided I wanted to teach. When I got the job at Henderson Middle, my co-workers in the corporate office where I had been working asked me why I wanted to leave. I told them I wanted to teach. I had a calling to teach. I also wanted to have a greater role in the education of my own children. I believe in what I am doing. My students are so responsive and dedicated. It is because of those dedicated students that I'm standing here as the Teacher of the Year. It is also because of my students' parents, because they want what is best for their children." As the Vance County Schools' Teacher of the Year, Webb-Lewis was presented with a $1,000 check from the school system, a $500 check from the Vance County Public School Foundation and a $500 check from Walmart. She also received gifts from several local businesses includ- ing The Silo, Golden Skillet, Bojangles, Bullock's of Henderson, Betty B's, Interiors & Gifts Too, Friendly Florist, Cracker Barrel and New Millenium Flower Shoppe.

PAGE 2 PAGE Center for Disease Control Publishes 3 Employer Flu-Preparedness Guidelines Small businesses play a key role in protecting employees' health and safety as well as limiting the impact to the economy and society during an influenza pandemic. Advance planning for pandemic influenza is critical. Over the past several years, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the CDC, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have developed guidelines, including checklists, to assist businesses, industries and other employers in planning for a pandemic outbreak as well as for other potential disasters. Regardless of the size or type of your business, a bit of planning now can put strategies into place that will help protect the business and its employees, when 2009 H1N1 flu hits. It is important that the following list of recommendations be reviewed carefully and applied in the most appropriate way to your small business. • Identify a workplace coordinator who will be responsible for dealing with 2009 H1N1 flu issues and their impact at the workplace, including contacting local health department and health care providers in advance and developing and implementing protocols for response to ill individuals. The coordinator should not wait for flu season to start in order to establish those contacts and relationships, and check online resources of local public health officials immediately to learn what you should be doing. • Examine policies for leave, telework, and employee compensation and review with all employees so they are up-to-date on sick leave poli- cies and employee assistance services that are covered under any of your employee-sponsored health plans. Leave policies should be flexible, non-punitive, and well-communicated. They should allow workers who have the flu to stay home and away from co-workers. Also, plan to have workers stay home if they have to care for sick family members. Be prepared, in the event that there are school closures, to allow workers flex- ible schedules or other accommodations so they can mind their children and keep them safe at home. Explore the possibility of some of your workers working from home with appropriate infrastructure support. • Determine who will be responsible for assisting ill individuals in the workplace, and make sure at least one person can serve as the "go to" person if a worker becomes sick at the workplace. • Identify essential employees, essential business functions, and other critical inputs (e.g. raw materials, suppliers, subcontractor services/ products, and logistics) required to maintain business operations should there be disruptions during the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak – and make plans on how to communicate with people that perform essential tasks to provide them assignments and work direction. Explore other ways you can continue business operations if there are supply chain or other disruptions. • Share your pandemic plans with employees and clearly communicate expectations. It is important to let your employees know your plans and expectations when 2009 H1N1 flu outbreaks occur in communities where you have a workplace. Consider ways to communicate with employees who do not speak English or those with disabilities. • Prepare business continuity plans so that if there is significant absenteeism or changes in the way you need to conduct business in the workplace during this outbreak you can maintain operations. School dismissals and childcare provider closures may increase absenteeism in the workplace. Health officials may also advise that workplaces take multiple steps to increase the space between people and decrease the frequency of contact among people, also known as "social distancing" to reduce the spread of illness during a more severe outbreak. • Establish an emergency communications plan. This plan includes identification of key contacts (with back-ups), chain of communications (including suppliers and customers), and processes for tracking and communicating business and employee status.

The eldest child on Gaara's team, Temari, as well as Kankurou, is terrified of her youngest brother Gaara. When Gaara is away, she is a confident, strong genin, although not a bully like Kankurou. Despite her fear for Gaara, she can be caring towards him, but only if Gaara isn't riled up. In the beginning of Naruto Shippuuden we see her acting as the contact person between the Hidden Sand and Konoha as the two villages prepare for the next chuunin exams.
She has a deep dislike for war, and speaks her mind when her teacher Baki told his team about their mission to betray the Hidden Leaf during the chuunin exams. Despite her dislike, she has a very strong offense just like Gaara. Her enormous fan can execute a Slashing Wind attack, which can take on groups of enemies, and is equally effective in a duel. Just like Shikamaru, she tries to think ahead in battle to come up with tactics to better suit her abilities. She has three purple circles inscribed on her fan which she refers to as stars. The more she opens up her fan, the more stars are shown, and how more the fan's power increases. She can also use her fan to summon Kamatari and cause a lot of destruction in a short amount of time.
A lot of times Temari is seen in the presence of Shikamaru. In one of the first Shippuuden episodes, Naruto even asks the two if they're on a date, though they both immediately deny it. Temari also saves Shikamaru by defeating Tayuya during the Sasuke retrieval arc, and does not hesitate to lecture Shikamaru about his complaining and laziness.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Jail not big enough for D.C. mayor
WASHINGTON -- It is time for the kickoff event of the 2014 campaign for mayor of Washington, D.C. In a few moments, we shall have the opportunity to watch the incumbent prostrate himself before us in shame, and then ask us to vote for him.
We are inside a shiny, new community arts centre in one of the most economically polarized communities in the country. As the hall fills, a woman who gives her name as "Miss Pat" is handing out flyers in support of the sitting chief executive of the District of Columbia, a slender, 71-year-old widower with dark dyed hair named Vincent Condol Gray. "From the day I graduated college to this morning when I greeted the new day, I have worked on behalf of you and the neediest among us," the handbills quote him as saying.
How times flies. Already, we are four years removed from Gray's 2010 campaign, which was so laden with illegalities three of his aides subsequently pleaded guilty to having "diverted" hundreds of thousands of honest dollars. Hizzoner himself still is under investigation by the federal authorities but so far has escaped uncharged. While he waits, he runs for re-election.
Among other improprieties, Gray's team arranged for a straw man named Sulaimon Brown to enter the 2010 race for the sole -- and successful -- purpose of slandering the opposition, and then paid off the debt with a sinecure at a salary of $110,000 a year.
"Why isn't your mayor in jail?" I ask Miss Pat as we wait for him to take the stage, finally getting my revenge on all the people here who have asked me, the longtime Torontonian, the same question.
"There are too many of his politicians in jail already," she replies. "There's no room!"
And this is one of his campaign workers!
We contrast Mayor Gray with two of his predecessors, Marion Barry and Adrian Fenty. Barry, the role model for crack-smoking big-city mayors everywhere, would be re-elected tomorrow with a huge majority despite his transgressions, Miss Pat affirms. (Barry continues to serve on the D.C. council, representing the downtrodden ward in which Mayor Gray is staging his rally.)
"He didn't take nothing from the government, he just hurt himself," she reasons. "Brought down by a piece of booty."
Of the elegant Fenty, who was defeated by Vincent Gray in 2010, Miss Pat offers a vegetarian analogy: "He's so slimy, he's worse than okra boiling."
Two evenings earlier, in a 200-year-old mansion in tony Georgetown, I was watching six of Mayor Gray's challengers -- four members of the D.C. council and two others introduced as "reasonable long shots" -- engage in a stultifying debate about on-street parking when a seventh duly registered candidate, a young African-American businessman named Christian Carter, walked in and was denied a seat at the dais.
"This isn't the slave days," Carter bristled, demanding the right to speak.
"Yes, it is," riposted the spindly white moderator, as dozens jeered.
Thus the table is set for the district's Democratic primary, which is equivalent to an election in a city with only seven per cent Republican registration, to take place on April Fools Day.
Or, as the D.C. rapper gadfly Larry Pretlow put it in a track released last week:
Even Vince Gray down witcha
But I bet you vote 'em back
Now tell me how ignorant is that
How we let a f -- up system overtake our great city like that?
Our great city, a candidate and restaurateur named Andy Shallal scolded us at the Georgetown debate, can claim the highest percentage of university-educated residents in the United States, yet the highest rate of illiteracy; one of the highest levels of income per capita, yet the highest rate of child poverty.
With this as the stakes, back at the kickoff rally, Mayor Vincent C. Gray begins to speak:
"I know that the 2010 campaign caused many people great pain," he says. "And I know that our city suffered great embarrassment. So today, I want to apologize to you. I want to apologize for the pain that my campaign caused, and I want to ask for your forgiveness for what happened."
Standing ovation. Cheers and chanting. Shouts of "Four more years!"

Academic award for Psychologist
A prestigious prize for a PhD thesis has been collected by a Research Fellow and former University of Sussex doctoral student.
Dr David Novelli won the British Psychological Society's Social Psychology Section annual award - which included £200 in cash - for the best PhD thesis.
The paper looks at the question of why people behave differently depending on what group they are a part of - and Dr Novelli will be handed his prize at the Section's annual conference this September.
He discovered that individuals dislike being close to others in some circumstances - such as while travelling on crowded public transport - yet enjoy such intimacy in other situations, at a football match for example.
Dr Novelli said: "I am very proud of my doctoral research and it's a great honour to receive this recognition."
The Society's Social Psychology Section aims to encourage social psychological research and to facilitate communication between social psychologists.

New Speedway at Maple/Miller
Gas, Slushies, and Krispie Kremes
by Sally Mitani
From the July, 2013 issue
The Maple-Miller intersection has a gas station again: a shiny new Speedway opened on the northeast corner, on the site of the derelict Marathon that closed in 2008. The intersection used to have two gas stations--even longer ago, a Shell station stood on the southwest corner. They were both the old-fashioned gas-and-repair shops that have mostly been replaced by larger, brighter convenience stores.
Increasingly, gas station/convenience stores are beginning to resemble fast food outlets that sell gas, and this is no exception. Speedway sells pizza, hot dogs, Slushies, and Krispy Kreme donuts. A customer loyalty card gives you a seventh donut, Slushie, or a number of other things free.
Speedway, 1300 N. Maple. 761-1107. Daily 24 hours. speedway.com

Irish Water Spaniel Rescue Information: Irish Water Spaniels are excellent retrievers of waterfowl and are usually used as working dogs in that capacity. Irish Water Spaniels are very smart and trainable, and though they have a stubborn streak they are truly eager to please their masters. Irish Water Spaniels do well with older children. Early socialization is important. Irish Water Spaniels bark only when necessary and make good watchdogs. This breed is best suited to life on a farm or in a home that has a large fenced yard.
Irish Water Spaniel Trivia: Some Irish Water Spaniels are nearly purple in color. The Irish Water Spaniel is the largest of the Spaniels. Irish Water Spaniels were originally bred by Justin McCarthy of Dublin, who is considered to be the father of the breed. |
