The Hornet's Nest, an assembly by directors David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud of video shot by Mike and Carlos Boettcher, shows us soldiers under fire and losing comrades. The father-and-son war correspondents were embedded with U.S Army and Marine elements in Afghanistan in 2011. You watch shaky helmet-cam footage and hear bullets whistling by. While the material captured is extraordinary, it's too often presented in prosaic reality-TV style: A generic suspense-film score makes already tense scenes -- as when soldiers try to determine whether an assembly of pipes and wires is simply a jury-rigged source of electricity for a rural home or an improvised explosive device -- feel less grave than they really are. It's a disservice to the Boettchers' remarkable reporting.
Mike explains in voiceover that his lifelong devotion to filing from war zones had left him estranged from his family, so when his grown son demanded to accompany him to Afghanistan, he saw it is his last chance to rescue their relationship. (The two shared a 2012 Emmy award for their reporting.) The film climaxes with a nine-day effort to rout insurgent leader Qari Ziaur Rahman from his home in the Ganjgal Valley. It claims the lives of several servicemen, who are venerated with photographs and candid expressions of grief by their commanding officers. In the age of an all-volunteer military, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't even have to remember that the longest war in U.S. history is in its 13th year. Hawk or dove, that makes The Hornet's Nest an important film despite some baffling presentational choices.

Click here for a full list of weekly meal sites, including several in Clark County.
To request meals through Meals on Wheels' home-delivered meal service, people can call 503-736-6325 or click here.
AMBOY — When Frank and Roberta Emerick attended their first Meals on Wheels lunch in Amboy this month, they weren't exactly strangers.
The two have been fixtures in north Clark County for decades. So were many others in the room. In this crowd, they may as well have been regulars.
"Most of these people belong to everything," Roberta said. "That's the way community is."
The seniors who gather every Wednesday for the meal are a close-knit group. They've met weekly in Amboy, one of three regular meal sites in north Clark County served by the Portland-based Meals on Wheels People, for years. But the lunch this month moved into a new home at the Mt. Valley Grange No. 79 building, 40107 N.E. 221st Ave. The gathering had been at the nearby Countree Kitchen restaurant.
The more spacious grange building was a welcome change for those who took part in the first Meals on Wheels lunch there last week. More than an hour before lunch was served, people were already milling about and chatting. Folks helped themselves to coffee. Sandi GeBorde, a satellite manager for Meals on Wheels, worked in the kitchen with a few helping hands.
"For a lot of these people, this is their social event up here," she said. "It gives them a chance to meet people in their community."
It's a family that GeBorde herself has become a part of in more than five years with Meals on Wheels. As she pulled the day's chicken entree out of the oven and prepared it for serving, GeBorde stopped. A familiar face caught her eye.
"Hey, hun!" she called, extending her arms for a hug. "Come here, you!"
For others, the weekly lunch in Amboy is a family affair. Four siblings — brothers Dave, Darrell and Jerry Johnson, plus sister Judy Steigmann — sat at the same table in the grange building last week. The four live near each other in north Clark County and have become regulars at the Amboy lunch.
"We've done a lot of bonding at these lunches," Steigmann said.
The family has lived in the county since the 1940s. Many faces have come and gone in that time, and getting to know those around you isn't as common these days, Jerry Johnson said.
"We don't meet our neighbors like we used to," he said. "It's good to, when we can, meet a new neighbor."
In north county, Meals on Wheels also serves at weekly meal sites in Ridgefield (Tuesdays) and La Center (Mondays and Thursdays). Additional meal sites operate in Battle Ground, Camas, Washougal and Vancouver. The organization also offers home-delivered meals across Clark County and much of the greater Portland area.
Regular meal sites are available to anyone older than 60.
"(We decided) we're old enough now to come to these things," said Roberta Emerick, laughing. Frank, her husband, has lived in north Clark County for all of his 78 years.

VNUS files venous reflux disease patent infringement lawsuits against AngioDynamics.
AngioDynamics and Vascular Solutions market endovenous laser ablation products for use in procedures which VNUS believes infringe several of its patents. VNUS is seeking an injunction prohibiting AngioDynamics and Vascular Solutions from selling these products, in addition to monetary damages. These claims were added to the lawsuit that VNUS brought against Diomed Holdings, Inc. in July 2005, and are based on the same patents that are asserted against Diomed.
VNUS is a leading provider of medical devices for the minimally invasive treatment of venous reflux disease, a progressive condition caused by incompetent vein valves in the leg. VNUS sells the Closure system, which consists of a proprietary radiofrequency generator and proprietary disposable endovenous catheters and devices to close diseased veins through the application of temperature-controlled RF energy.

Cocktails and jazz
What we say:
With bars upstairs and downstairs, and several couches in addition to bar stools, you will struggle to feel inconvenienced, and the bartenders will greet you with smiles and a bowl of free peanuts.
This is Vientiane's leading spot for live jazz, often to be heard on the weekends. During the week, the bar continues to serve high-end and high-priced cocktails, none of which will disappoint.
If you've got money to burn and a need for something a little more sophisticated than dive bars with BeerLao towers, Jazzy Brick often stays open later than the 23:00 curfew.

We are looking for this type of sleeve in a cotton material for the TX heat, but protection from the sun. Anybody know the manufacturer?
Any reason a regular long sleeve jersey or shirt won't do the trick? These are for cold days when it ends up warm (or vice versa), which is why they are modular, but I would think for sun protection in heat, a long sleeve shirt would do just as well.westernfor2312387 You might try the "light arm sleeves" that are made for that purpose. I think that a few companies make them....Here is one light type of "arm skin" http://www.backcountry.com/store/CAP0014/CapoForma-Lycra-Arm-Skins.html I don't think that this is sumer light like cotton, but it may help. Plus the white would be the way to go over the black. Hope this helps? (p.s. these are gaining popularity with football players that play on turf. Funny, the uses people find for bike stuff.

Call it global warming schizophrenia. It's the disconnect between what really is happening and what global warming alarmists demand must happen.
For example, many government officials and government-paid scientists insist the world risks being incinerated because humans generate a little more carbon dioxide than they used to. But they completely ignore the reality that CO2 hasn't proved to be a threat, let alone the horrific danger they make it out to be.
Why must they pretend this fiction to be true? Because so much rides on it.
For instance, to force private carmakers to manufacture expensive, largely undesired, generally underperforming "zero-emission" electric cars, the California Air Resources Board must subscribe to the fiction that normal gasoline-powered cars are a threat to global temperatures.
The CARB air-police bullies last week mandated that, within six years, 15 percent of all vehicles sold in California must be of the zero-emission variety to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent. That's 15 times more of that kind of car than is sold today. The entire justification for this coercion of the private sector is based on the false contention that increasing greenhouse gases will result in dangerous, soaring temperatures worldwide. That's so much piffle.
Absent from CARB's calculus is the inconvenient fact that 16 noteworthy scientists published a letter this week in the Wall Street Journal pointing out that "carbon dioxide is not a pollutant" and that the natural, trace gas actually benefits the planet, which is what they used to teach in schools in the pre-Al Gore era. The unelected bureaucrats at the air board don't even hint at what those scientists say flatly, which is: "There's no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to 'decarbonize' the world's economy."
Why do these scientists not fear carbon emissions? Because carbon emissions don't pose a threat.
The air police also don't consider news that, despite CO2 emissions increasing dramatically over the past 15 years, temperatures haven't. Even the hotbed of global warming propaganda, Britain's Climate Research Unit, and England's Meteorological Office in a veritable whisper had to concede in recent days that not only isn't it getting much hotter, as global warming theory says it must, it's not getting warmer at all.
Worse yet (for the alarmists' cause), the "Met" says we may be entering a historic solar energy lull "to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the [frozen-over] Thames in the 17th century."
That era, by the way, is commonly referred to as the Little Ice Age. Not exactly global warming run amok.
Why must the global warming establishment ignore reality?
Because, they are government potentates whose power and control expands only if warming is a threat. They are government-funded researchers, who conveniently come up with contorted computer models to allegedly prove that warming Armageddon looms, which, not so coincidentally, earns them more government grant money. They are highly subsidized industries that otherwise couldn't pay the rent, let alone turn a profit, without their government checks.
As 16 scientists put it last week in the Wall Street Journal: "Follow the money."
As we have been fond of saying since Day 1 of this farcical saga, global warming never has been about the Earth getting too hot. It's always been about control and money: their control and your money.
It's for those reasons that despite mounting scientific opposition, and despite observable evidence flatly contradicting their predictions of doom, the disconnect persists.

I've shopped twice ... but didn't buy much. I love the are gallery on the third floor.
I'll be there in Oct. SOOOOO looking forward to it!!Is there a schedule of the character and what times they're out?
Good morning, son

And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things...
We have only been there once since we live in Pittsburgh, but it is a wonderful store. We went up to the third floor minutes before they were closing and ran into Ariel (with legs!) and Prince Eric. What a treat. They were both great as their respected character. Had a great time with them, basically we had them all to ourselves since they closed the door behind us.
I only managed about 20 minutes in there, because we were rushed for time.
I'm returning in April, like someone said above, do they release schedules for character appearances say, a week in advance?

I've only been there once, on a Tuesday, late afternoon---we had to catch the LIRR, so we were pressed and not planning on visiting with the characters.
But Goliath, from JoJo's circus was totally bored. Not a single kid in the place. I happened to be exploring, heading towards the escalator when the feline pounced on me. It was awesome. No, we didn't have a camera--our visit was too quick. But, as usual, a character made this guy feel really special, even if I don't watch preschool television. He was all huggy and silly--perfect end to the day.
You gotta go!

I am a big fan of the WoD in NYC. A place for me to grab some WDW pins and such, even some LE ones that are released! It has a GORGEOUS Disney Gallery, and great toy selection, and even a Mr. Potato Head station. The only down side I have seen is that the adult male clothing items seem to be decreasing here. When it first reopened, they had a great selection of NYC specific polo shirts, button down, etc. Now they only carry a few Disney on Broadway shirts and a few NYC T shirts, nothing more. I would love to see the return of polo and dressier shirts there.
As for characters? They are there almost everyday, and change monthly. I have seen Jack Sparrow, Tigger and Pooh, and Pluto and Minnie (dressed as the Statue of Liberty). Also, once a day Cinderella does her own meet and greets.
A definite must every time I visit the city!
It's a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah...Tip for Today!
I visited there in early July and posted a trip report in this section with some pictures. You can call a few days in advance and they will let you know which characters will be there and at what time.

I've been to this store this past July. We met Belle and Cinderella, and since Beauty and the Beast was clsoing it's Broadway run, they were asking people in line Disney trivia questions and rewarding right answers with Broadway Beauty and the Beast posters, pencils, etc.
The store is great. They have a new New York souvenirs that are Disney-fied, great Disney merchandise, and a beautiful gallery on the third floor!
Good morning, son

I have enjoyed my visits at WOD and I like how they do fun events with the Broadway cast book singings and meet-and-greets/performances like they recently did with Miley Cyrus.

Steve Jobs was an extremely private person for someone so renowned for stagecraft, and his family was perhaps the most private part of his life. That's probably why a poignant quote about parenthood that's being attributed to Jobs in the wake of his death is making the rounds; however, those words belong to someone else.
Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Chairman Eric Schmidt, who worked very closely with Jobs for years as a member of Apple's board of directors and then competed fiercely against his mobile group, wrote an eloquent piece about Jobs for a special edition of Bloomberg BusinessWeek published a few days after Jobs died last Wednesday. One particular passage has been circulating around the Internet because it offers a rare spotlight into Jobs' thinking about parenthood.
Steve and I were talking about children one time, and he said the problem with children is that they carry your heart with them. The exact phrase was, "It's your heart running around outside your body." That's a Steve Jobs quote. He had a level of perception about feelings and emotions that was far beyond anything I've met in my entire life.
However, that's actually not a Steve Jobs quote. Elizabeth Stone, a professor at Fordham University and the author of three books, is used to fielding inquiries about the anonymous quote she said provided to a writer friend for an essay in The Village Voice back in 1985 that was later adapted for Readers' Digest with credit to Stone.
Contacted by paidContent Tuesday, Stone sent along an explanation of how the quote came to be that she has saved over the years in response to numerous inquiries. Versions of it have been cited by figures ranging from Hillary Clinton (attributed correctly) to the OctoMom (not attributed correctly).
The actual quote in the original essay written by Ellen Cantarow was: "Making the decision to have a child–it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
Stone explains:
The sentiment would have disappeared had it not been for an editor from Reader's Digest who contacted Ellen in 1987, wanting to find whomever had said that. In 1989, the snippet was published in The Reader's Digest attributed, now, to me. For the next 8 years nothing more happened, except that a hospital in Boston asked if they could use my quote in a form letter congratulating new parents, and I said they could. But beginning in the late 90s, coinciding with the launch of Google, the quote went viral.
We publish this not to cast blame on Schmidt for not knowing the original source of the quote, nor to imply that Jobs was trying to claim the words as his own. It is, however, an interesting example of how powerful words linked to a recently deceased legend can take on a life of their own, and consider this an attempt to give credit where credit is due.
"Jobs' death is a mammoth loss," Stone wrote in an e-mail to paidContent. "I know his family was enormously important to him, and I'm glad that he found something in those words that rang true for him."

Notwithstanding failing to assess estate tax against an IRA beneficiary wihin the Code §6901 four year transferee statute of limitations, in U.S. v. Maureen G. Mangiardi et al, the IRS was permitted to collect estate taxes under its estate tax lien more than 12 years after estate taxes were assessed.
FACTS: Joseph Mangiardi died on April 5, 2000. He died owning assets through a revocable trust of about $4.57 million and an IRA worth $3.85 million. Estate taxes were determined to be approxmately $2.47 million.
The estate received four years of payment extensions under Code §6161, claiming inability to pay due to reductions in the value of publicly traded securities from a declining market. Only $200,000 in estate taxes have been paid, and there are inadequate assets in the revocable trust to pay the estate taxes. The IRS now seeks to collect against Maureen Mangiardi as a transferee owner of IRA assets of the decedent under the 10 year estate tax lien of Code §6324, in an amount equal to the value of the IRA assets she received.
Maureen asserts two defenses. First, Code §6901 provides for the assessment and collection of taxes from a transferee with the same three year statute of limitations on assessment applicable to the estate under Code §6501, plus one extra year. Code §6901(c). The IRS did not assess taxes against Maureen within this period and never assessed under Code §6901. Instead, the IRS sought to collect the tax directly under the Code §6324 10 year estate tax lien against all gross estate assets. Maureen claimed that an assessment against her within the Code §6901 four year period was required. Unfortunately for her, other courts have previously held that the IRS can proceed to collect under Code §6324 without having to assess the transferee under Code §6901 (including one involving the same estate as the instant case, but which the court did not cite). These cases included Mangiardi , Joseph Est v. Com., 108 AFTR 2d 2011-6776 (2011, CA11), aff'g (2011) TC Memo 2011-24; United States v. Geniviva, 16 F.3d 522, 525 (3d Cir. 1994); Culligan Water Conditioning of Tri-Cities, Inc. v. U.S., 567 F.2d 867, 870-71 (9th Cir. 1978); United States v. Russell, 461 F.2d 605, 606 (10th Cir. 1972); U.S. v. Motosko, No. 8:12-cv-338-T-35-TGW, 2012 WL 2088739; United States v. Matzner, No. 96-8722-CIV, 1997 WL 382126.
Maureen also argued that the 10 year lien had expired by the time the IRS sought to collect from her. While more than 10 years had expired since assessment of the estate tax, the IRS countered that the 10 year lien period was extended by the four year extension of time to pay granted to the estate which extended the statute against the estate. The court nonetheless ruled that since Maureen's liability, as a transferee, was derivative of the estate's liability as transferor, the four year extension granted to the estate also extended the statute for collections against her, citing United States v. Kulhanek, 755 F. Supp. 2d 659 (W.D. Pa. 2010).
COMMENTS. The above result is bad for IRA and other beneficiaries for many reasons. First, it allows beneficiaries to be hit with estate taxes many years after death, and without knowledge that taxes were never paid and thus that the potential liability existed.
Second, this extended time period can be more than 10 years, since extensions granted to the estate extend this 10 year period. Presumably, if estate taxes are extended for 10 or 15 years under Code §6166, this extension can be tacked on to the 10 year estate tax lien period.
Lastly, it would appear that an IRA beneficiary is liable as a transferee for the full amount of IRA assets that are inherited. However, the IRA beneficiary really does not benefit by the full amount, since income taxes will have to paid by him or her on amounts withdrawn from the IRA. This is unfair – the beneficiary will be liable for more in estate taxes than the net amounts received from the IRA. While Code §691(c) may provide an income tax deduction for the estate taxes attributable to the IRA, mismatched tax years between deduction and income may void or limit the benefit of this deduction to the IRA beneficiary.

"The Michigan Merit Exam is outdated and doesn't reflect the curriculum that is being taught in classrooms throughout the state, yet students and educators are unfairly being evaluated based on MME scores," MEA President Steve Cook said.
EAST LANSING, Mich., June 25, 2013 — This week's release of the Michigan Merit Exam results reinforces the need for lawmakers to scrap the obsolete standardized test and instead fully implement the Common Core State Standards, the president of the Michigan Education Association said today.
The MME results showed a slight decline in student test scores this year, yet a trend of improved scores over the last four years. Proficiency scores in reading, writing, social studies, math and science have swung back and forth each year, making the exam unpredictable and unreliable.
"The Michigan Merit Exam is outdated and doesn't reflect the curriculum that is being taught in classrooms throughout the state, yet students and educators are unfairly being evaluated based on MME scores," MEA President Steve Cook said. "It's time for our state's leaders to get rid of the Michigan Merit Exam and implement the Common Core State Standards."
Michigan educators, administrators and policymakers began the process of implementing the Common Core State Standards in 2009. States must adopt the national standards in order to receive federal education funds.
Despite the fact that educators have spent the better part of three years preparing for its launch, the Legislature earlier this month irresponsibly stripped funding for Common Core implementation. Legislators left Lansing last Thursday to begin their summer vacations.
Michigan Teacher of the Year Gary Abud
It should have been a completely positive experience: Late last month, Grosse Pointe North High School science teacher Gary Abud Jr. was named the 2013-14 Michigan Teacher of the Year by the state Department of Education.
Abud, a young teacher with six years in the classroom, is working hard to develop innovative methods of educating his students, incorporating project-based learning, technology and social media into his lesson plans.
At a time when teachers and education support professionals are under constant attack — even being referred to as "hogs" by one top state legislator — Abud's story provided some positive news about all of the great things happening in schools across Michigan.
Then the far-right Mackinac Center for Public Policy and its extremist allies got involved.
The Mackinac Center filed a Freedom of Information Act request with Abud's school district to obtain details of his salary (which is lower than that of some of his colleagues), and then posted it for the world to see — all to make an ill-conceived point about so-called "merit" pay. Michelle Rhee's StudentsFirst and other powerful right-wing mouthpieces continue to bat the story around, making Abud an unwilling poster child for merit pay.
What they probably didn't expect is for Abud to fight back.
"They have not been given permission to use my name, photo, story, words, or any ideas," Abud told Eclectablog.com's Chris Savage.
House Education Committee Chairwoman Lisa Lyons, R-Alto, referred to school employees as "hogs" in a floor speech late Thursday night.
After the chair of the House Education Committee referred to school employees as "hogs," Republicans in the state House rammed through legislation late Thursday night that would dissolve the Buena Vista and Inkster school districts and leave employees in those dissolved districts without the right to a job in the receiving districts.
Under House Bill 4813 and House Bill 4815, the state superintendent and state treasurer could decide to dissolve a troubled school district if the district fails to submit a deficit reduction plan or is financially incapable of implementing such a plan; lacks the funds necessary to run a K-12 program for a year of required instructional hours; and has 2,500 students or fewer and lost at least 10 percent of its students over the course of a year.
The legislation is crafted so that only Buena Vista and Inkster qualify for dissolution. Initially, it would have applied to any school district in the state, but MEA successfully fought to have it narrowed.
A dissolved district's students and property would be transferred to one or more nearby districts.
School employees in the dissolved districts would not have rights to jobs in the receiving district — even though their district dissolved through no fault of their own. The legislation initially protected school employees in the dissolved districts by providing them with the right of first refusal for jobs in the receiving district, but an amendment by state Rep. Ray Franz, R-Onekama, stripped away all employee protections.
Franz's amendment was fully supported by House Education Committee Chairwoman Lisa Lyons, R-Alto. In response to school employees' concerns, Lyons said from the House floor: "Pigs get fat — hogs get slaughtered."
The state House overwhelmingly passed legislation supported by the MEA Thursday that would provide more flexibility and local control in establishing graduation requirements for students.
House Bills 4465 and 4466 maintain high graduation standards while providing local school districts with flexibility through "personal curriculum committees." These committees would be able to customize standards to meet the needs of individual students.
Under current law, students can fulfill the algebra II requirement by completing a program or curriculum in electronics, machining, construction, welding, engineering or renewable energy, provided it features an "appropriate embedded mathematics requirement." The legislation passed by the House eliminates the "appropriate embedded mathematics requirement." Instead, students would have to successfully complete "the same content as the algebra II benchmarks assessed on the department-prescribed state high school assessment."
Every school in Michigan will fail to make Adequate Yearly Progress and will lose federal aid unless the governor vetoes a part of the budget passed by the Legislature that strips funding for implementing the Common Core State Standards.
MEA members are asked to contact Gov. Rick Snyder immediately and urge him to restore funding for Common Core implementation. Call him at (517) 373-3400 or email him via the form on his website.
School employees have spent the better part of three years preparing for the launch of Common Core. Unless Snyder vetoes the Legislature's budget language and restores funding for Common Core implementation, all of the prep work put in by educators will be for naught.
Thanks to the hard-fought efforts of MEA members, the state Legislature on Wednesday voted to increase the state's investment in early childhood education funding.
More than 1,400 MEA members called and emailed their legislators in recent weeks to urge them to support more funding for early childhood education. Because of the outreach conducted by teachers, education support professionals and higher education employees, the Legislature sent an education budget to the governor's desk that includes $65 million in additional funds for early childhood education.
"The MEA has long championed greater investment in early childhood education programs, because these investments help prepare our students for success," MEA Vice President Nancy Strachan said. "The additional investment for early childhood education is a critical step to help our low-income students have access to high-quality preschool opportunities and enter kindergarten prepared to learn."
"Research has clearly shown the direct correlation between early childhood education programs and increased graduation rates, reduced crime and a healthier economy," Strachan said. "The MEA will continue to support this and other increased early childhood investments so that all Michigan children have the opportunity to succeed."
Grosse Pointe Public Schools Superintendent Thomas Harwood, Trustee Cindy Pangborn, Trustee Brian Summerfield, Michigan Teacher of the Year Gary Abud, and Trustee Judy Gafa pose at an event Thursday honoring Abud.
Grosse Pointe North High School science teacher Gary Abud Jr. has been named the 2013-14 Michigan Teacher of the Year by the state Department of Education.
Abud, who received the 2012 Science Teacher of Promise award from the Michigan Science Teachers Association, is a proponent of project-based learning, combining service experiences, digital learning and social media to provide his students with a broad palette of learning experiences.
"It has been my philosophy that all students can learn and achieve in the classroom," Abud said. "Finding the right combination of strategies to match various learning styles is essential."
Grosse Pointe Public Schools Superintendent Thomas Harwood said Abud is "a teacher amongst teachers; an innovator of instruction, a supportive guide of knowledge, and a creator of dreams for students who wish to further explore their understanding of science."
"Gary displays every day in his classroom what great teachers in Michigan do — lead by example and help every student find the ways to learn," state Superintendent Mike Flanagan said. "He sets a high standard not only for himself, but for his students and fellow educators."
"He has followed his passion to continue learning and share what he learns with others," Flanagan said. "I cannot think of a greater gift a person can give to Michigan's next generations."
Without warning, the Buena Vista School District did not pay its 28 teachers Friday — despite it being a pay day and despite the state of Michigan's sending $400,000 to the struggling district to keep it open for the remainder of the school year.
"The teachers in the Buena Vista School District have made numerous sacrifices on behalf of their students, and they deserve to get paid for the work they do so they can feed their families," MEA Executive Director Gretchen Dziadosz said. "Teachers and their students should not be made to suffer for the school district's financial mismanagement and Gov. Rick Snyder's lack of support for public education."
Friday was a scheduled pay day for the teachers, who haven't been paid since May 10.
Sick teachers have also been barred by the district from calling substitute teachers, resulting in crowded classrooms.
Students and school employees in the Buena Vista School District are innocent victims of gross financial mismanagement by district and state administrators, as well as Gov. Rick Snyder's reckless $1 billion in cuts to school funding.
Despite objections from numerous education experts who testified in opposition, the state House Education Committee passed legislation Wednesday that would make performance the "primary" factor in determining pay for teachers, rather than its current status as a "significant" factor.
House Bill 4625, which now goes to the full House, would also prohibit school officials from considering experience or advanced degrees as factors in setting pay for teachers, except for a few limited exceptions.
As originally introduced, the bill would have applied only to future teachers. However, the committee passed an amendment offered by Rep. Amanda Price, R-Park Township, that would also apply merit pay to current teachers who opt in.
The committee also passed an amendment from Rep. Tom Hooker, R-Byron Center, that would delay implementation of the bill until the completion of a new educator evaluation system being developed by the Michigan Council on Educator Effectiveness. For more on the MCEE's evaluation system, see the April edition of the MEA Voice.

LIMA — Sheriff's deputies were investigating an armed robbery that took place on state Route 65, just south of State Road on Saturday.
Alexis Rodriguez, 58, was returning to Lima from Ottawa when he pulled over to check a strange noise coming from his vehicle. Two men in a car stopped and approached him, said Chief Deputy Jimmy Everett of the Allen County Sheriff's Office.
"They asked him if everything was OK, and one of the subjects produced a small handgun and demanded the victim's money," Everett said.
Rodriguez gave the men money he had on him. One of the men then hit Rodriguez over the head with an unknown metal object. The men drove off, Everett said.
Rodriguez picked himself off the ground and drove to the hospital, where he called the Sheriff's Office. He was not seriously injured, Everett said.
There are no suspects in the case, and it remained under investigation, Everett said Monday.

Start with a pressing of slow-cooked Ayrshire ham, baby onions and wholemeal toast, then, for a main, why not try a national favourite? For the vegetarian, there is ravioli of Highland crowdie (possibly Scotland's most ancient cheese) and for the carnivore, delicious corn-fed chicken served with haggis bon bons. Finish with a mouth-watering selection of Scottish cheeses with homemade chutney and oatcakes. Behind the scenes, French cooking techniques give nod to the head chef's heritage. Close to the Festival Theatre, with one of the largest stages in Britain, this pre-performance meal won't hit a false note.
Please reserve a table for dinner in advance.

SELA Adds New Japanese Distributorship.
The new company, SELASTAR CORPORATION took over as SELA's distributor at the beginning of this year. SELASTAR replaces Innotech Corporation as the formal distributor of SELA products in Japan, and will be managed by a veteran two-executive team with a combined 60 years of experience in the semiconductor equipment and materials business.
Shinji Matsumura, the company's executive board director, is responsible for both sales and service performed by SELASTAR. For the past seven years, Matsumura had been an assistant manager of business development at Innotech Corporation, helping to introduce to the Japanese market Orbot System Limited, Semiconductor Engineering Laboratory, Genesis, CSD and Ultratech Stepper. Prior to joining Innotech in 1991, Matsumura spent nearly 20 years with Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) and Tegal Japan Inc.
Archie Ishikawa, president of SELASTAR, has been a board member of Innotech since it was founded in 1987. Prior to that, Ishikawa served as a representative director of Micronix Systems Corporation, a Japanese subsidiary of U.S.-based X-Ray Lithography System Manufacturer. Ishikawa also worked at Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) from 1970 to 1982.
"SELA's rising popularity and increasing stature within Japan made it practical to establish a company based solely around selling and servicing SELA products," Matsumura said. "Customers in this critical market for SELA can now be assured that they are dealing with a distributor that specializes in SELA products."
SELASTAR CORPORATION is located at 2572-1-1-512 Shinohara-cho Kouhoku-ku Yokohama-shi, Kanagawa, 222-0026, Japan. It can be reached via telephone at 81-45-439-5130 or via fax at 81-45-439-5131.

Colo. recalls show risk of supporting gun control
Wednesday - 9/11/2013, 8:52pm EDT
Associated Press
DENVER (AP) -- Democratic voters in Colorado helped remove two state senators of their own party who voted for tighter gun control -- an ouster that was both intensely local and a national test of what can happen to lawmakers who support gun restrictions in battleground states.
The well-organized activists who sought to recall Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron got the backing of gun-rights groups such as the National Rifle Association. It turned out they didn't need much assistance because voters were already so incensed by passage of the gun-control package.
Democrats, who maintain control of the Legislature, said the losses were purely symbolic. But they could be a sign of things to come in 2014, both in Colorado's governor's race and in scores of other political contests around the country.
After last year's mass shootings, Colorado was the only state beyond Democratic strongholds New York, California and Connecticut to pass gun-control legislation. Gun-control measures died in Congress, as well as Minnesota, Oregon, Washington and Delaware.
Outspent by about 5-to-1, recall supporters cited a big anti-recall donation from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to make one of their main points -- that Democrats controlling the state Legislature were more interested in listening to the White House and outside interests than their own constituents.
That feeling was particularly strong in Pueblo, an industrial city in southern Colorado where Democrats tend to be more conservative on social issues and voters of all persuasions tend to embrace gun rights.
Victor Head, the 28-year-old plumber who launched the recall effort in Pueblo, said people in his hometown did not need any encouragement from the NRA to turn out against Giron.
Voters don't like their gun rights "being messed with regardless of party," said Head, who asked a friend to film campaign videos in his backyard.
Political analyst Floyd Ciruli said Democrats seem to have been upset about what they saw as government overreach not just on guns but on other parts of the Democratic agenda. Polling showed individual gun laws, such as limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds, had some support, but the size and speed of the gun package and other Democratic bills may contributed to the senators' fate, he said.
About 40 percent of voters turned out in Pueblo, an impressive figure given that there were no mail ballots.
"There's definitely a protest going on out there," Ciruli said.
Bloomberg downplayed the vote as a low-turnout, off-year election and said the NRA would not go unchallenged in future recalls.
"We're committed to backing elected officials across the country who are willing to face these attacks because they agree with Americans about the need for better background checks," he said in a statement.
Morse, a former police chief in a Colorado Springs suburb, will be replaced by Republican Bernie Herpin, a former member of the Colorado Springs City Council. George Rivera, a former deputy police chief, will take over Giron's seat.
Republicans hope to build on their victories next year, when Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper will be up for re-election. The governor initially shied away from pushing for gun-control measures after the Aurora theater shooting, which happened in the middle of the 2012 presidential campaign. But he later reversed course just before the Newtown, Conn., massacre.
A poll last month by Quinnipiac University showed that Hickenlooper's position on guns and his decision to halt the execution of a death row inmate were unpopular with voters.
This week's recall effort was "a shot across the bow to prove that Colorado isn't a colony of Michael Bloomberg or John Hickenlooper," said former Rep. Tom Tancredo, a potential Republican gubernatorial candidate.
The effect of the recalls on other states isn't clear. Only 10 other states allow state lawmakers to be recalled for any reason, but social media and email lists have made it easier to build support among angry voters. Recalls tend to attract fewer voters, making it easier to oust lawmakers than in regular elections if there are enough motivated voters, said Joshua Spivak, a recall expert at the Hugh L. Carey Institute for Government Reform at Wagner College in New York City.
In Washington state, activists are working to collect signatures for a background-check initiative that would first go to the Legislature and then to the ballot.
Christian Sinderman, a political consultant for that initiative, said a state recall election cannot be construed as a national referendum.
"If anything, the Colorado experience tells us we're doing the right thing to seek a popular vote," Sinderman said.

'Skyfall,' 'Game of Thrones' win SAG stunt awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The James Bond adventure "Skyfall" and the fantasy series "Game of Thrones" have picked up prizes for best stunt work from the Screen Actors Guild.
The stunt honors were announced Sunday on the red carpet before the official SAG Awards ceremony, as stars were gathering for their guild's big night.
JoBeth Williams and Scott Bakula announced the winners, noting the value of stunt players, who often are overlooked for their contributions to film and television.

"The stunt men and women of our union are critical to the work that gets done," Bakula said. "They keep us healthy, they keep us alive, they keep us working. They keep our shows working."
Among the early arrivals were Sally Field, Peter Facinelli, Steve Buscemi, Ellie Kemper, Busy Phillips and Alec Baldwin, who has won six-straight SAG awards for actor in a comedy series.
"It's all the actors. It's all the tribe," Sally Field, a supporting-actress nominee for the Civil War epic "Lincoln," said of the SAG honors. "I've always been incredibly proud to be a member of the tribe."

"You get to see everyone here at the SAG Awards," said Facinelli, a co-star of the "Twilight" movies and "Nurse Jackie," which is nominated for best TV comedy cast. "It's where the reunion happens."
