December 10, 2013
By Ron Gregory
CHARLESTON — So many honest lawyers; only one position to fill.
A lengthy delay in convening the Judicial Vacancy Advisory Commission has led to a tight timeline for naming the eventual replacement for disgraced Mingo County Circuit Judge Michael Thornsbury. According to one of the commission members, Kanawha County Commissioner Kent Carper, the board was reconstituted with some changes in membership. A required organizational meeting of the newly-constituted board slowed the process some.
State law says a new judge must be named within 90 days of the departure of the former judge. The clock is clearly running on that.
It is seldom a politically popular decision when the governor eventually names a new judge. The losing candidates and their supporters are left unhappy, no matter who or where it is.
In Mingo, that will be particularly true. If anyone doubts that "county attorney" (state law says that job is held by the prosecutor herself) and Assistant Prosecutor Glen R. Rutledge is the choice of Team Mingo, he or she likely doubts there is really a Santa Claus. On the other hand, Letitia "Tish" Chafin did not get her last name by virtue of a drawing at the lottery commission. She is the Chafin faction candidate.
That leaves the remainder to fill the seven-person field. Let me underline the point that Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is not exactly known for shocking, dramatic actions. If he picks someone other than the Team Mingo or Chafin guy or gal, it will be time to check his blood pressure and for any vital signs.
My story, then, is it will either be Rutledge or Chafin. Nothing else makes sense. If Tomblin chooses Rutledge, he is selecting a respected attorney who would make the majority that elected Thornsbury happy. If he picks Chafin, he gets an upcoming attorney who proved an attractive statewide candidate for state Supreme Court just two years ago. That she is also the wife of state Sen. Truman Chafin does nothing to diminish the likelihood of her appointment. I think she will be appointed.
Sen. Chafin was one of those said to be "sold out" by Tomblin when the Logan senator jumped from the state Senate to the governor's office. Long-time allies said Tomblin gave the wink and the nod for some southern senators to vote for Jeff Kessler to replace him, thus consigning a number of senators to near oblivion.
Kessler, in fact, gave Chafin a tiny "shoebox" office where he barely had room to turn around. In fact, most statehouse observers never saw the Mingo senator darken the door of that insult. He now has different, much more impressive, quarters near the well.
And let me emphasize: Mrs. Chafin is totally qualified. She is fair, presentable and has virtually no skeletons in her closet. She will look distinguished in a judge's cloak and I, personally, continue to support her for the appointment. Tomblin can do no better.
… Readers continue to bombard me with reports that former Mingo Prosecutor Michael Sparks is "selling popcorn" at the Southside Mall theater, across the river in Goody, Ky. Management and his friends insist he is not. If he has an exact double that people are seeing, maybe it was the double who committed his crimes.
… Readers provide great tips and story information but some discretion also has to be used by a newspaperman. I cannnot simply write that a local police officer is having an affair with the gal at the post office window without some verification.
… Some of you become upset and think I am "in the pocket" of Team Mingo or TrumanChafin if I fail to report some rumors verbatim. That is not responsible journalism.
Some of you have told me about events that took place 40 or 50 years ago. Often, records did not survive and I have no corroborating witnesses to back up the stories. You won't see many of them here, even if they are true.
Some current-day items are not as easy to prove as might be expected. A 30-something woman who claims to have an ongoing romantic and sexual relationship with a family court judge really offers little proof. She says he has allowed her to sit in on family court hearings, which are, by law, closed. Tape recordings of the hearings do not contain her voice and there is no videotape. None of the participating lawyers is ever heard voicing an objection because a nonparticipant is sitting, perhaps on the judge's lap. It would be weird if the lawyers welcome an outsider to such hearings. The gal also claims she and the judge use the county shooting range as an "outdoor lover's lane" setting.
While it is basically immaterial to us whether the judge is having an affair with a vixen at the corner of Capitol and Quarrier streets or anywhere else (except that he's married, I suppose), hearing that she sat in on closed family court hearings raised the eyebrows of officials at the Supreme Court recently.
I'm sure the subject judge knows if he invited his paramour to sit in on closed hearings. I suspect his staff knows as well. If any of them would like to tell me about it, then it becomes an item for this column.
We just can't print everything we hear for the truth.
… Does it suprise anyone that attorney Ben White has been charged following an altercation over the past weekend at the Logan Giovanni's?
This is the same attorney who defended a young man who defiantly wore a National Rifle Association shirt to school. When told to take it off, he refused. Officials punished him.
But White, an apparent defender of civil liberties, went to bat for the boy, using Facebook and other social media to cast school administrators as villains while making the boy look like a martyr of some kind.
The only thing the lad was a martyr for was defiance or the law and anarchy in the streets.
Eventually, the student apologized and returned to school. Of course, had the boy and his father agreed to apologize immediately, it would have yielded the same result.
Everyone says there are two sides to any story. I will listen to White's (and his ardent defender Tim Koontz) defense but I am skeptical at best.
… If, as some legislators such as Rupie Phillips maintain, law enforcement in Southern West Virginia is so desperately corrupt that they would charge an innocent state delegate with domestic violence, it behooves him and others in the legislature to change it.
… Read this:
"In or about April 2012, (Dallas) Toler, who at the time was a member of a political campaigning and fundraising group known as 'Team Mingo,' participated with other individuals in an effort to identify potential voters who would support Team Mingo's candidates in the 2012 primary election. Toler was a candidate to retain the office of magistrate."
Toler, the county's former chief magistrate, pleaded guity in federal court in Charleston last week to voter registration fraud. Toler, 45, is the fourth Mingo County official to plead guilty to charges in connection with a federal corruption investigation.
Those who are unhappy with my commentary regarding Team Mingo might wonder just who provided the previous quotation. Would anyone be surprised if I pointed out that it was none other than U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin? It was not me; it was not a political "hack" working for Truman Chafin it was the U.S. Attorney responsible for the investigation into Mingo corruption.
May I also point out that Goodwin is a Democrat with no obvious ax to grind with any faction in Mingo County. Yet this is not the first time Goodwin has made it clear what the federal investigation has determined. Whether all readers like it or not, Team Mingo is implicated in illegal election activities. Goodwin has said so repeatedly. I have barely scraped the surface regarding statements Goodwin has made. Election corruption, illegal drug use and distribution and gambling have been clearly identified as playing a part in these prosecutions. Nobody has to spread a rumor; just read what the U.S. Attorney says.
Those who think I am simply spouting words delivered to me by irresponsible Mingo Countians who don't know what they're talking about can guess again. As I have said before, I haven't convicted anyone but Goodwin surely has, the latest being Toler. As the old folks said, "The proof is in the pudding (or puddin') and we've had plenty of proof in federal court these past few months.
I have said that not all of those associated with Team Mingo are crooks. But they are not all pearly white either, by any stretch of the imagination. Those who continue to insist on their purity in the face of overwhelming evidence (and guilty pleas) are delusional at best.
Goodwin also said last week, "Corruption is the biggest threat to democracy.
In Mingo County, corruption was an epidemic. Once again in this investigation, we have a judge engaging in corruption — this time corruption of the electoral process so that he and his cohorts could keep their jobs." Goodwin continued, "The people of Mingo County are tired of these shenanigans, and we'll continue to do what's necessary to help them."
Do I need to point out who the "cohorts" obviously are? Does anyone think Goodwin is wrong when he implies that Toler alone could not have orchestrated the scheme of registering people as voters who were not legally eligible? Dream on, Alice.
As I have written before, it is not me who has created the problems these officials have. They did it themselves. And family and other friends who continue to insist they did nothing wrong are not helping anybody's cause. In addition, pleas to the heart that those who have been convicted have "children and family and it's Christmastime" aren't doing much good either. Nobody other than the convicted caused their own problems at holiday time.
I can tell you who is not among the "cohorts." Yes, Sen. Chafin is not on the list.
… Even though they must be checked for accuracy, please keep your rumors, story ideas and comments coming. Use my email or cell, 304-533-5185

As Washington State fans rushed the Martin Stadium field Friday following the Cougars 31-28 overtime win over Washington, someone appeared to have sucker punched Huskies tight end Austin Sefarian-Jenkins.
In a video posted on YouTube, Sefarian-Jenkins was at the 45-yard line, walking off the field, when a fan in a dark jacket appeared to throw a punch at the player when his head was turned away. The punch can be seen at 13 seconds into the video.
Sefarian-Jenkins fell to the ground.
SB Nation s Cougcenter (which blew up the video and slowed it down) reports that it appeared Sefarian-Jenkins bumped into a woman a couple of seconds before the punch, and that it looks like he reached out to catch her.
The camera panned away right afterward, but when it came back, it appeared Sefarian-Jenkins walked toward the mass of fans storming the field before turning back toward the locker room.
MyNorthwest.com reports that Sefarian-Jenkins tweeted, I prayed for that man that struck me. He must have some issues #prayingforhim
That tweet was later removed from his account.
The fan has not been identified.

The ASPCA is currently on the ground assisting the Milwaukee Police Department and the District Attorney of Milwaukee County with a multi-site dog fighting raid in the City of Milwaukee. Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission is transporting, sheltering and caring for the dogs.
Today, eight search warrants were executed at eight crime scenes, where 23 suspected fighting dogs were seized. Investigators also discovered blood on basement walls as well as other evidence of dog fighting, including treadmills, wound treatment supplies and muscle building supplements.
Experts from the ASPCA Field Investigations & Response (FIR) team are on hand to assist with evidence collection and documentation. The ASPCA has been assisting local authorities with this dog fighting investigation for nearly a year.
Dog fighting is a felony in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The ASPCA is committed to eradicating the blood sport. We have designated April 8 as the first National Dog Fighting Awareness Day to advance the conversation about dog fighting, and to encourage animal lovers across the country to take action against this brutal form of cruelty.
Please join the movement and take a stand. And stay tuned to ASPCA.org/blog for more information about this developing case.
Pictured above is one of hundreds of dogs rescued from a previous federal dog fighting bust across the Southern U.S. in August 2013.
God Bless these sweet, innocent dogs. Prayers they get wonderful homes like they deserve.
In WI, the law states dogs seized in dog fighting rings are held as evidence until the owner is prosecuted and then 'humanely disposed of'. 16 dogs from a bust in WI in 2009 are still being held as evidence because charges have never been filed. A proposed bill to change the law was never brought to the floor for a vote for reasons unknown. Any change in the law will have to wait to be brought to the floor of the WI Senate in 2015.
I thought something was finally being done for those still being held last year? That just sucks! Poor babies.
Is it? I don't think I'd like being in prison, and being 'held' isn't much different. Rehoming them would be better.
Not in my lifetime! I'd rather be dead than tortured and brutalized.
Perhaps pictures could be taken when the victimized dogs are rescued, and then they could be allowed to be re-homed, providing that the new owners bring them to any required court appearance. then the judge could see how they were after being tortured, and what wonderful dogs they became after receiving good treatment and love.
I did not know this. Those dogs are in the shelter since 2009? Fucking bureaucracy!!! I am not born here but have two dogs,an American Bulldog and a pit/dane that I found out in the fields,emaciated and shivering,and carried her home.I am hoping to get a better job soon to be able to foster dogs. I have found 4 dogs in 2 years,they seem to find me.Two had owners,one I found a petstore owner that loved the dog and took her,and my Maia.

August 23, 2006
The seven Northeast states participating in the Regional Greenhouse
Gas Initiative (RGGI)—an effort to set a cap-and-trade system for
greenhouse gas emissions—released a model rule for the program on August 15th. The model rule will form the basis for individual state
regulatory or statutory proposals to implement the program.
Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and
Vermont are participating in the program, while recent legislation in
Maryland requires the state to join RGGI by June 2007.
Under RGGI (pronounced "Reggie"), the seven states intend to launch a
regional cap-and-trade system that utilizes emissions credits or
allowances to limit the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions.
Beginning in 2009, emissions of carbon dioxide from power plants in
the region would be capped at current levels of 121 million tons
annually. The cap remains at the same level until 2015, after which
the states would then begin reducing emissions over a four-year period
to achieve a 10 percent reduction by 2019. Compared to the emissions
increases the region would see from power plants without the program,
RGGI will result in an approximately 35 percent reduction by 2020.
At least a quarter of each state's emissions allowances will be
dedicated to strategic energy or consumer benefit purposes, such as
energy efficiency or clean energy technologies. If a power plant buys
these allowances, the funds will support beneficial energy programs.
RGGI can also benefit projects in other states, since power plants can
meet some of their emissions cuts by investing in non-electricity
projects that cut greenhouse gases anywhere in the country. Such
projects might include landfill gas recovery efforts and energy
efficiency programs for natural gas users. Assuming all the states
take the necessary actions to adopt the program, RGGI will take effect
in 2009. See the RGGI press release

Jon Gosselin entered into a secret deal to earn money in violation of his TLC contract, and RadarOnline.com has obtained the document that proves it.
The document is a contract that spells out a business relationship between Jon, Hailey Glassman, Mike Heller and Michael Lohan.
Click here to see the exclusive document
And although it is unsigned, the contract led to Jon being paid for outside appearances that violated his TLC deal, Michael Lohan told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
PHOTOS: Jon And Hailey Party In A Bar
The document plus those payments could be the "smoking gun" that will doom Jon in the breach of contract action brought against him by TLC.
PHOTOS: Jon Takes The Girls To The Movies
The document spells out a business relationship between Heller and Lohan, and says they have "entered into an agreement with Jon Gosselin… pursuant to which TR is entitled to certain fees resulting from the arrangement of business transactions on behalf of Gosselin and Glassman (the "TR Management Agreement").
PHOTOS: Jon and Kate's Separate Errands
TR is a company that was a joint venture of Lohan's company and Mike Heller's company.
But Heller never signed the contract after his father Mark advised him against it, according to Lohan.
PHOTOS: Kate Works Out In Hot Pink Outfit!
"I brought Jon to the table so I told Michael Heller we needed an agreement. He said no problem," Lohan said, explaining the origin of the document. "We were representing him. If we got him interviews, if he did promotional events, anything.
PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin & The Kids Hang Out At The Family Home
"I brought Jon Gosselin to Mike Heller, so Michael had an obligation to pay me a percentage of what he made."
And, in what is sure to be strong evidence for TLC and its law firm Williams & Connolly, Lohan says he was paid for deals that Jon made money from – deals that violate Jon's TLC agreement.
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Parks Illegally
Heller "was paying me all along, which basically proves that I did have a deal with him. Why was he paying me checks and giving my wife and my son checks?" Lohan told RadarOnline.com.
PHOTOS: Kate and the Kids At The Playground
Lohan said some of the payments he received for helping get Jon paying gigs was in cash.
"A lot of it was cash, so I would imagine that there were a lot of things that I wasn't paid for too," Lohan told RadarOnline.com. "We're going to find out in this court case, when they're deposed we're going to find out exactly."
PHOTOS: Kate Major and Jon Gosselin in The Hamptons
The fact that a paper trail exists on outside business deals for Jon will be powerful evidence for TLC and its law firm, Williams & Connolly, as they seek a preliminary injunction against Jon in December.
PHOTOS: Jon & Kate Send The Kids To School
They are sure to argue that the contract and the payments prove Jon was developing (and executing) business opportunities knowingly in violation of his TLC contract.
PHOTOS: Kate Takes Girls on Post Doctor Treat
Paul Gaffney, the lead attorney for Williams & Connolly on this case, will depose a number of people who were close to Jon during this summer when TLC says he began breaching his contract.

All-inclusive Vacations & Resorts
Your All-inclusive Vacation
It's a fact: All-inclusive resorts won't leave you hungry, thirsty or bored. With lagoon-style pools, overflowing buffets and activities from theme nights to kids clubs, all-inclusive vacations are packed with the most travel bang out of your buck. Under an all-inclusive plan, pay for room, meals, activities, taxes, tips and entertainment up front. Tailor your trip, whether you want luxury, thrifty, family-friendly or kid-free, and for goodness sake, kick back and have a cerveza.
Featured All-inclusive Brands
Bucket these beachfront hotels into all-inclusive family resorts for active broods. In Cancun, swim with the dolphins. In La Romana, bounce on an ocean trampoline. And at multiple resorts, send the tykes on their own adventures at kids clubs for ages 3-12.
Locations: Cancun Tulum, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Punta Cana, La Romana
Sometimes, Mom and Dad need their alone time (unless couples massages and terrace dining are normal occurrences in your household). Other times, it's perfectly OK to bring the kids. Escape to these adults-only and family-friendly resorts whose all-inclusive vacation packages tease with spa treatments, gourmet fare and serene activities – like yoga classes on the beach.
Locations: Cancun, Playa Mujeres, Punta Cana
Palace Resorts
From all-inclusive family resorts to singles-spiced scenes, these properties are poised on Mexico's most luxurious oceanfront real estate. Lush greenery, meandering pools and fabulous dining are signatures, so don't feel one ounce of guilt for overindulging.
Locations: Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, Riviera Nayarit
Viva Wyndham
These tropical havens don't skimp on ambiance. Vacation packages – all-inclusive, of course – serve up crescent-shaped beaches and beat-fueled nightclubs. And the kids will love 'em, too. For all-inclusive family resorts, these aim a little higher, hosting quinceaneras and sweet sixteen bashes.
Locations: Grand Bahama Island, La Romana, Puerto Plata
All-inclusive FAQs
Many think that all-inclusive vacations mean crowded pools, mediocre meals and limited entertainment options. They're wrong. Today's all-inclusive vacation packages include inexpensive resorts with unlimited activities, and exclusive hideaways with championship golf courses and world-class spas.
If you've never booked vacation packages, all-inclusive is the way to go. Learn more about all-inclusive vacation packages in these frequently asked questions:
Q: What's included in my bill?
A: Costs are spelled out in our vacation package descriptions. They include airfare, accommodations, meals, and listed activities. All taxes are included as well, along with resort fees and -- best of all -- gratuities. You can stash your plastic and cash the moment you arrive and never see menus prices or bar tabs.
Q: How can I save more on all-inclusive vacations?
A: Book your flight + hotel together. Orbitz gives you access to discounted rates that you wouldn't see booking separately. Plus, we'll show you how much you'll save.
Q: Can I leave the resort?
A: Just because you're staying at an all-inclusive doesn't mean you can't explore your surroundings. Most packages include tours of the area or shuttles to nearby attractions. And most resorts have concierges who can help you choose additional expeditions geared to your interests. Since you're not paying each time you dine, you're free to use your discretionary cash to zip over the treetops on a jungle canopy tour, climb ancient pyramids, or wander through local villages.
Q: Can I dine or use facilities at nearby resorts?
A: Most resorts have enough activities and dining options to satisfy relaxed vacationers. But if you have wanderlust in your soul, several all-inclusive resorts offer privileges at nearby properties so you can explore new restaurants, beaches, spas and destinations whenever you wish. On Jamaica, for example, Sandals offers shuttles between its Ocho Rios properties.
Q: Can I get the type of vacation I want?
A: While some all-inclusive resorts offer something for everyone, others target vacationers with specific interests. For golfers, Moon Palace's all-inclusive package includes play at its Jack Nicklaus course. The Royal Hideaway is geared toward couples seeking romance, gourmet dining and personalized service, while Breezes Runaway Bay includes scuba diving at fabulous underwater walls and canyons.
Q: What if I want an all-inclusive vacation without kids?
A: Choose an adults-only resort, which allows guests 18 and older. Secrets, Sandals and Excellence have adults-only properties. Some emphasize fun, while others offer seclusion, serenity and fabulous spas.
* Savings based on Flight + Hotel vacation package bookings of 5 or more nights with individual calculable components on www.orbitz.com from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014, as compared to price of the same components booked separately.

Reusable Straw Cleaner$1.99
Kids Glass Smoothie Straws ... a short smoothie straw designed just for kids.
Are you looking for a way to get your kids excited about smoothies? Look no further than our glass smoothie straws! The perfect size for little ones, our kids smoothie straws are 6" long and come in fun colours any child is sure to love. Strawesome reusable glass straws are the perfect eco-friendly alternative to disposable straws. Your child will love using their own special straw!
Why you'll love Strawesome Glass Straws:
- Made of borosilicate glass tubing which is the strongest commercially available glass. This is the same glass that Pyrex® is made from.
- Borosilicate glass is also non-toxic, so you can feel confident when drinking hot or cold liquids that no toxins are leaching into your beverage.
- Annealed (slowly cooled to make it tougher and less brittle) so that it is dishwasher safe.
- Beautiful yet functional. The decorative version allows you to distinguish which straw is yours and also stops it from rolling on flat surfaces.
Handmade in the USA!
Why Reusable Straws?
- Concern about plastic usage is at an all-time high. Glass drinking straws are one way to limit your exposure to toxins from plastics because they are toxin-free! No BPAs, phthalates, etc.
- If you use straws a lot, think about how many plastic straws you throw in to a landfill every year. Including the instances you dine out at restaurants this number can be astronomical! Being green has never been so easy. Replacing your disposable plastic straws with a glass straw is one little thing you can do to help save our planet.
- The feeling of glass on your lips will help you lose weight on your hips! Not only is it fun to drink from a glass straw but studies have shown that drinking from something more substantial than plastic may help you lose weight.
- Strive to consume more water? Make it fun with a glass straw. It really works!
- Want to help your kids eat more fruits & vegetables? Make it fun with a green smoothie and a glass straw.
- According to speech therapists, glass straws help kids with oral development making it easier for them to learn to articulate and pronounce words.
- Jaw wired shut or have a hard time eating without a straw? A glass straw might do the trick!
- Has your dentist mentioned teeth staining? Use a glass straw to have your beverages bypass your teeth when you drink coffee, tea, red wine, or any acidic beverage and then see what your dentist says at your next checkup.
- If you are a smoothie lover, guess what? Yep! Glass straws make smoothie consumption a whole 'notha experience. Perfect for the green smoothie, protein shake, or any thick beverage!
Want a gift for the person who has everything? Buy them a personalized glass straw from Strawesome. Drinking straws are great gifts for special occasions like bridal showers, baby showers, weddings, or corporate gifts.
Size: 6" Smoothie (diameter 12mm)
Sold individually.
Handmade in the USA.

About us…
Join us in the Trenches of Agile Methodology
We are a group of Vancouver based professionals involved in software development who strive in the path of excellence and personal growth by building a community of mixed roles and different levels of prowess; meeting new people and exchanging notes on our real world experiences from what we read in books or see in conferences.
We are not affiliated with AgileVancouver.ca; if you post links to this group please do not use their logo for them.
We follow the principles of the Agile Manifesto, and wish to create a welcoming environment for people new or curious to Agile to understand its merits and promises, to decide if this methodology will work for them. We invite the more seasoned people in the industry to come and share their takes and views, and to help spread the word and the promise of Agile.
Meet other local people interested in better software development practices and methodologies. Software development is a very young discipline when compared to construction projects. While the main stream PMI based waterfall approaches have their merits, agile and lean methodologies are gaining popularity for good reasons. Even better approaches might be lurking around the corner.
By meeting and discussing interesting topics, participants can improve their practices and potentially influence their companies to adapt better software development processes.
This is not a networking group, since there are excellent such groups already out there that are doing a very fine job. we are here to learn, teach and improve ourselves through collaboration and exploration of new ideas and innovative methods.

|Tampa Bay Lightning Hero Award to Benefit ACH
Congratulations to 13-year-old Matt Baar, who received the Tampa Bay Lightning's Hero Award in recognition of his very successful "Change for Change" program. He was recently honored at a Lightning game and received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Heroes program. Matt will divide the money among his charities of choice, All Children's Hospital and Children's Dream Fund.
When Matt learned that the Infusion Center at All Children's Hospital needed an additional Touch-2-Play game system for kids to use during their infusions, he immediately set to work to raise the funds. Matt designed "Change for Change" a fundraising campaign that asked members of the community to save their loose coins in empty bottles that Matt designed. Matt, through coordinating efforts with family and friends, in just a few months reached his goal of raising in excess of $3,000 for his "Change for Change" program.
Matt knows what the Touch-2-Play means to these children because his brother is one of them. Matt's 10-year-old brother, Joey, has received chemotherapy infusions for the past three years while battling leukemia. At Joey's monthly visits, Matt would ask to come along and sit by Joey in the infusion bay, playing games with him to help pass the time. That there are not enough game systems for all of the children to use seems unfair to Matt, so he took action to change that reality.
"We are deeply touched and honored by Matt's gift to the ACH Infusion Center," said members of the Infusion Center staff. "It is truly amazing that this all started with an extraordinary young man and his love for his brother. Many patients will benefit from the ability to enjoy playing games on the Touch-2-Play game system while receiving their infusions."
Since Joey also spent a significant amount of time in our Vincent Lecavalier Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center Unit, the additional funds will be used to enhance the patient experience for kids who are patients on that unit.

Guilty Gear CosplayThe Guilty Gear series takes place around the year 2180, in a chaotic, mystical future world. In 2010, mankind discovered an unlimited energy source of incredible power, which was labeled Magic. Despite providing a solution for world energy crisis, wars continued. The power of Magic was combined with humans and other creatures creating living weapons known as Gears. Eventually the Gears turned on the human race, beginning a century-long global war known as the Crusades where the Sacred Order of Holy Knights (Seikishidan being the Japanese name), defeated Justice, leader of the Gears. Justice having been locked away in a dimensional prison, all other Gears seemingly ceased to function, bringing end to an age of conflict.

Rikers Island Lawsuits Over Diabetic Care
By Albert Samaha
By late fall, 10 months after Elaine left prison, she was still living in her children's apartment, still sharing a bed with her older son. Tensions with her daughters and sister had eased, though the family's peace remained fragile. Elaine's son Mel had been shipped from Rikers Island to a state prison, a five-hour bus ride from Manhattan; she had not seen him in eight months.
By now, Elaine was journeying to Green Haven prison to visit Nate about once or twice a month, but she had not yet written the letter requesting another wedding. At her job, she continued to work so many hours that she had time for little else. "My life is kinda boring," she said in early November. "All I do is go to work and go home." And then she repeated her favorite saying: "I didn't come home for this."
As Thanksgiving approached, Elaine decided that she would organize a feast. Other holidays had slipped by without her taking charge: She had slept through most of Mother's Day, and her sister Michelle had cooked the family meals on Easter and July Fourth. Now Elaine felt ready to re-create the sort of party her mother used to throw. Pulling it off would require days of fundraising, not to mention cleaning and cooking.
Elaine dipped into her savings and collected $200 from Apache and $250 from a new suitor. She scanned newspaper ads for sales and found a table and four-chair set for $159. (The family had gone without a dining table since she threw out the broken one in January.) She sent the apartment's occupants to purchase pots, pans, a shower curtain, another toilet seat, a bathroom rug, and a curtain for the kitchen window.
Elaine worked until 8 p.m. on the day before Thanksgiving, so that night she stayed up until 5 a.m., cooking with Apache and Tara, then slept in a chair in the living room for a few hours. By mid morning she was back in front of the stove, stirring the turnips and checking the turkey. With everything on schedule, she dressed for the occasion, donning a black hip-hugging skirt, a sparkly silver top, knee-high black boots, and a gray zip-up sweater with fake fur around the hood and wrists. "My mother looks like a cross between Charlie's Angels and Glenn Close in 101 Dalmatians," Apache announced.
The Thanksgiving menu included two turkeys, a ham decorated with cherries and pineapple slices, two ducks, roast beef, roast pork, a giant platter of shrimp with cocktail sauce, potato salad, macaroni salad, macaroni and cheese, rice, yams, collard greens, turnips, eight sweet potato pies, and five peach cobbler pies. Plus, there was a sponge cake baked on the stove using an old prison methodsticking a cookie tin under the pan so it cooks more slowly.
Elaine had to work the 4 p.m.-to-12 a.m. shift, so she served dinner early. "C'mon, y'all!" she said, just before 3 p.m. "We're getting ready to eat." First, she ripped off a turkey leg and placed it on the floor for the apartment's newest member, Kira, her eight-week-old puppy. "Happy Thanksgiving, baby," she said to the dog. She carved the turkey and assigned Tara to heap the meat atop paper plates.
By now, the apartment's population had climbed to 17, including Tara, Tenéa, Sabrina, and Apache, and assorted friends and relatives. There wasn't enough room to sit at the table, so they scattered around the apartment. Elaine ate on a chair in the living room. Apache stood by the stove. Tara sat on a chair in the hallway across from her bedroom, next to an unplugged television and a laundry basket of plastic toys. Sabrina dined at the new table, then dozed in front of One Life to Live.
Even with so much foodeven with "Happy Thanksgiving" napkins, the aroma of roast turkey drifting down the hall, and a new kitchen curtain decorated with pigs and duckssomething was not quite right. Nobody bickered, but nobody smiled, either. All the hours of cooking and cleaning could not replace what was missing. They could not mask the misery that seemed to permeate the apartment.
After everyone had taken seconds, there was still enough food left over for 50 people. Elaine covered tins with foil, hoping to keep food warm for more company. She had expected her youngest sister, Michelle, to come down from Harlem with 10 or so family members, but as it turned out they didn't show up until evening. Elaine had been hoping her younger daughter would come, too. "Tara," Elaine shouted down the hall. "Call Na-na and ask her, does she think she could find her way over here and spend a little time with her mother before I have to go to work?"
A few minutes later, someone announced that Danae was asleep. Elaine did not rail or rant or grab the phone and call Danae herself. There was no point in getting angry anymore. "By the time she gets here, I'll be gone," Elaine said. Still, Elaine kept waiting. At 3:45 p.m., she picked up the phone and dialed her job. "This is Bartlett," she said. "I'll be there. So if I'm not there right at 4, don't panic."

Become one with your bike with the Look S-Track Carbon Ti pedals! A double surface area provides a 200mm2 cleat-pedal contact, regardless of the shoe. In addition, the S-Track pedal is a pioneer in the world of mountain biking as a supplementary pedal-crampons contact can be acquired by adjusting the height of the cleat with wedges that are slipped under the cleat, creating a total surface area of 460mm2 which cannot be found in any other pedal. This dramatically assists in power transfer and overall comfort.
The S-shaped spring-wire acts as a torsion bar that allows you to instantly insert and remove your cleat as desired, yet it prevents inconvenient cleat removal. The simplicity of this design keeps the S-Track Ti Pedals light and durable. The DCS cleat (Dynamic Cleat System) itself was constructed to relinquish mud so that you can clip in and out with ease even in the most intense conditions.
The Look S-Track Carbon Ti Pedals are constructed of both carbon and titanium in order to utilize the benefits that both materials have to offer. Carbon has been injected into the body and deflectors as reinforcements while keeping weight minimal. The titanium spindle ensures strength where it matters.

The Sharks may have remained unbeaten following their visit to Port Elizabeth, but it is their confidence that will return home in tatters.
John Plumtree warned his charges ahead of the match that they are not in for an easy time, but to not cross the whitewash at all is a concern. Even more so after the Sharks dominated in the early exchanges, camping on the Kings tryline without a way through.
This was an encouraging sign for Alan Solomons, Matt Sexton and the team, who was tipped to break records for conceding points this season. Not only have they kept opposing teams to only 2 tries in 160 minutes, they are ahead in terms of points aggregate. Yes, it may still be early in the season, but it cannot be denied that this Kings team is showing promise.
For the Sharks though, their next challenge is the Brumbies, a team that has scored ten tries in three matches and have not yet conceded a point in the second half of a match. Plumtree and his assistants will have to return to the drawing board to get their attacking nous back.
Last year the Sharks were one of the best attacking teams but have lacked that flair so far this season, only managing two tries in three matches.
An organised defence is what can be expected from the Brumbies, as Jake White and his charges have only conceded a single try in three matches to date, and will prove a tough defence to breach.
Plumtree is of the opinion that his team will come good, and is asking for patience from the fans. He admitted that it was frustrating watching the match against the Kings, and this showed with him replacing his captain with plenty of time left in a game that could well have been lost.
Durban is still one of the worst places to play rugby at this time of year, and is confident going into the Brumbies clash while still being cautious.
There is no news on the extent of Jean Deysel's injury, who is key for the Sharks ahead of the Brumbies clash. Once he left the field all momentum was lost and the Sharks looked dazed and lost without their muscle.

Standardized test scores dipped across the state and in Orange County in 2013 – the first time in at least six years and a step back that comes just as the state is transitioning away from the testing system.
Statewide, scores dropped on the California Standards Test for English-language arts, with 56.4 percent of students scoring proficient or advanced. That's down from 57.2 percent in 2012. Proficient and advanced scores on the CST math test dropped to 51.2 percent from 51.5 percent.
In Orange County, proficient and advanced scores dropped in English to 64.6 percent from 65.6 percent and in math to 60.8 percent from 61.7 percent.
About 4.65 million students statewide in grades 2-11 were given the California Standards Tests in spring 2013 and were rated advanced, proficient, basic, below basic or far below basic.
Click here to review a database of 2013 STAR scores for California schools, counties and the state, including Orange County.
In addition to the basic grade-level math and English tests, the CSTs assess knowledge in algebra, geometry, science, history and social science, among other subjects. Those with a proficient or advanced score are considered to have acquired the knowledge the state requires for their grade.
The CSTs are the centerpiece of the state's Standardized Testing and Reporting, or STAR system. The system also includes assessments for students with disabilities and tests given in Spanish.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson attributed the 2013 dips to budget cuts and teachers spending time preparing for Common Core standards, but noted that the majority of California students still received proficient or advanced scores in math and English.
"As you would expect for a school system in transition, results varied from grade to grade, subject to subject, and school to school, but the big picture is one of remarkable resilience despite the challenges," Torlakson said in a prepared statement.
"While we all want to see California's progress continue, these results show that in the midst of change and uncertainty, teachers and schools kept their focus on students and learning. That's a testament to the depth of their commitment to their students and the future of our state."
County Superintendent Al Mijares echoed Torlakson's sentiments.
"We continue to stay strong," Mijares said. "Despite challenges that school districts have experienced over the years, including last year, people are steadfast."
Mijares noted a dip in 11th grade history scores, and said scores for grades 2 to 7 regressed or hit plateaus. Anytime administrators notice a drop, Mijares said, the school district will first examine the test proctoring before delving into the curriculum.
"Things go up a little or down a little and statisticians don't become nervous over that unless those gaps start to grow and become more chronic," Mijares said.
Over the past several years, there hasn't been much change in subgroups or grade span test scores, said Vanessa Galey, county coordinator for assessment and accountability in instructional service.
