Derrik Sweeney, Georgetown student, arrested in Cairo
The family of a Georgetown student arrested in Egypt say they briefly spoke with their son by phone Wednesday morning.
Derrik Sweeney, 19, of Jefferson City, Mo., and two other American college students are accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at Egyptian authorities during clashes between Egyptian military and demonstrators in Cairo.
Sweeney's father Kevin said his son denied throwing anything off the roof of a building where he and two other college students were watching when demonstrations were arrested.
"I don't believe he would intentionally try to harm anybody. He might have been with people who had them or threw them. I don't but that does not sound like anything my son would do," Derrik's mother Joy Sweeney said.
Egyptian authorities questioned the students Wednesday with State Department officials present but have filed on charges. A hearing will be held Thursday, Sweeney's sister said on Twitter.
"It's a chance for us to check on the welfare of the individuals… and a chance to make sure they are being kept safely," said Mark Toner, deputy spokesman for the State Department.
Sweeney told his parents the students' treatment had improved in the past 24 hours. They're expected to be questioned further.
The students arrested were attending American University in Cairo. A video broadcast on state television showed them lined up against a wall with university identification cards.
Twenty-nine people have been killed and thousands injured in protests over the weekend as citizens demand a transition from military to civilian rule. A military council has taken over power since Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was ousted by demonstrators in February.
The three students were detained for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at authorities during the ongoing demonstrations.
"This image that they're trying to portray is not him. We really hope he can come home soon," said Nicole Sweeney, Derrik's sister.
"Thank you to everyone for all of your support - especially those of you who have called your congressman on his behalf," she wrote on her Facebook page.
A New York-based spokeswoman for the American University of Cairo, Morgan Roth, identified the other two arrested students as Gregory Porter of Bloomington, Ind., and Luke Gates, both students at Indiana University.

Rockpooling at Rottingdean Beach,
Just off Marine Drive,
Café and shops just off the beachfront where you can get ice-creams and purchase cheap buckets, spades and nets for rockpooling.
Get the 12 from the city centre get off at the windmill in Rottingdean. Or parking at the Tesco Express car park just off Marine Drive in the centre of the village.
Rottingdean Beach was a notorious landing place for smuggled goods. There was a wooden pier, demolished in 1914, the remains of which can still be seen. The Reverend Thomas Hooker, owner of a particularly fast grey mare, was reputed to have been involved in the "free trade". It is said that a stranger rode into the village one night when a big landing was being dealt with on the beach. The man was appalled by the lawlessness in front of him and he asked a villager whether there was no magistrate or justice of the peace to maintain order here.
"Then where is the vicar who might serve to uphold the law?"
"He's over there, holding the lantern."

Overall Experience
Home Away from Home

Great location for Jazz Festival. Large room. Full kitchen. Good value for money.
Platinum status counted for nought
July 01, 2015
The location was great and the concept of self-service apartment was interesting. But for this concept to work, the ambiance must be good and the things provided must work properly. It was not always the case with this property
Great Stay
June 30, 2015
This hotel was perfect for my first visit to Montreal. I chose the hotel for the location as I wanted to visit the downtown and old Montreal areas. The staff were excellent in helping me get around. They were all very knowledgeable of the area. The room was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. I will certainly stay at this Candlewood Suites for any future trips to Montreal.
Nice suite
June 29, 2015
The room is large enough. The kithen has good tableware. The bath room is bit old but no problems. It was my fault but I hadn't known that the day I checked in was Quebec National holiday. The supermarket was closed...

Wall Street Occupation continues despite mass arrests over the weekend
Kelly Benjamin
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
The Occupy Wall Street protests continued in downtown Manhattan this weekend marking a week of peaceful protests against corruption in the US financial markets. While a few hundred camped out in the financial district, several thousand demonstrators marched through Manhattan.
On September 17, Occupy Wall Street protesters took over Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan. They filled it with sleeping bags, a makeshift kitchen, a library, and a live streaming news center to get the word out to the world about their resistance movement. Inspired by the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprising and the Spanish acampadas, the Occupy Wall Street movement has attracted people from all walks of life from all over the country. Barry (no last name please) is a construction contractor from New Jersey.
On Saturday, Occupy Wall Street protesters marched from the financial district north to Union Square with numbers swelling as they made their way up Broadway. Police surrounded sections of the crowd with orange netting, used pepper spray on several protesters and eventually arrested over 80 people on various charges. Despite the arrests, protesters vowed to stay and remain peaceful. Patrick Bruner is a spokesperson for Occupy Wall Street.
Originating from a call to action last July made by Culture Jamming magazine Adbusters, the loose Occupy Wall Street movement is leaderless and hopes to replicate the revolutionary Arab Spring uprisings that used mass occupations of public spaces to effect change. This is a protester who goes by Nelini.

A couple of years ago, the writer Nassim Nicholas Taleb invented a new metaphor which describes what he calls low probability, high impact events – the Black Swan. For centuries this creature was not thought to exist, but then the discovery of a single animal turned this assumption on its head. What Taleb is getting at is the way in which our ideas about the way the world works can be totally shifted by a single, shocking event. Once it happens, the author notes, humans are pretty good at concocting explanations for why it did, to make the thing seem more normal, to allow us to continue on as before. The sinking of the 'unsinkable' Titanic: a classic black swan. The BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, another. Exxon Valdez? Sure. This week's grounding of a container ship spilling its fuel into one of the most beautiful marine environments on earth? Just the latest. As the 21st century evolves around us, one thing is clear. When it comes to mankind's thirst for energy we are entering uncharted waters, and the old assumptions are no longer cutting it. Major spills don't happen in rich countries with tough regulations, like the US, like Britain, like New Zealand. Wrong. Oil companies are getting better at avoiding major spills and at dealing with them when the worst happens. Wrong. Existing regulations are enough to prevent this kind of thing happening in the future. Wrong. What we're really seeing is an industry that is becoming increasingly desperate as the easy oil runs out and the good times come to an end. Wells are deeper than ever before. More contractors are involved in rigs, the all looking to shave precious dollars from their costs. Down the supply chain, shipping companies are operating under more pressure, more stress, more anxiety. And so we come to a coral reef near the crystalline beaches of Mount Maunganui in New Zealand, where right now anywhere between 40 and 1400 tonnes of fuel oil is leaking into the ocean, too late for anything meaningful to be done. Ignore people who say that spill response technology is better than ever – no more than 10% of any spill will ever be removed. The best we can hope for is that the waves will chop up the surface of the chemicals and allow for faster absorption into the sea. And for what? This oil was destined to lubricate cars, SUVs, motor yachts. Now it's lubricating the windpipes of sea birds, dolphins and whales. Rather than use an event like this one – or any of the other oil disasters that humanity has inflicted on the earth recently – to stop and think, we concoct explanations for why it happened. It's a unique case. It can never happen again. This was a one-off, an outlier. The same governments that express their shock when events like this happen are the same who refuse to consider them as signals to change course. The industry will act humble for a month or two, accept some responsibility, put human sounding statements on websites. Politicians will express their outrage and determination to ensure this never happens again. Then, before the crocodile tears have dried, they'll be bowing to oil industry lobbyists, terrified of big oil's power over their political futures. There must be a better way. As hundreds gather in major cities around the US to protest the way corporate greed has contaminated our political system, we must use this momentum to change things for good. Our governments are there to protect us from catastrophic events, not to explain them away with vague statements and warm condolences before putting greed above science again, and again. We must have faith in humanity to see the looming environmental crisis we're headed for, and do something about it. It's time to tell those in power that we, the people, see which way the wind is blowing. And like the black swan on the eve of winter, it's time to change course.

A coral reef? Really? Time to brush up on your ecology I think!
and the oil is the vehicles OWN fuel oil - not "destined to lubricate cars, SUVs, motor yachts".
Come on Greenpeace this is a major environmental issue and not an opportunity to launch another ill informed campaign - stick with the truth, it works much better.

Mount Maunganui beaches are not crystaline, but sand. The disaster is caused by a container ship, not an oil tanker. It is grounded on a reef, an ordinary rocky reef, not a coral reef for goodness sake. It is not warm enough in that location for coral to grow.

Rafael Benitez's surprise appointment as interim Chelsea manager will be seen by many as a short-term fix ahead of the likely hiring of Pep Guardiola next summer. However, if Benitez is able to get the best out of struggling striker Fernando Torres - like he did in the pair's fruitful days at Liverpool - the 52-year-old Spaniard could find himself around for longer than just this season. Out of management since being fired by Inter Milan in December 2010, Benitez begins life Thursday as Chelsea's ninth coach under ruthless Russian owner Roman Abramovich with a lengthy to-do list awaiting him. Indeed, one of his first tasks will be handling the fallout of the racism case involving referee Mark Clattenburg, with the Football Association close to making a decision whether to charge the official with abusing a Chelsea player during a match. What could define Benitez's tenure at Stamford Bridge, though, is his handling of Torres - the 50 million pound ($81 million) gift bestowed on th...

Crystal Palace have completed the permanent signing of midfielder Alex Marrow for an undisclosed fee from Blackburn.
The 19-year-old, who had been on loan at Selhurst Park since August, has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
"I've been very impressed with Alex," said caretaker boss Dougie Freedman.
"It is good to see him join the club permanently and I'm sure he will become an important part of our squad for some time to come."

You wouldn't think that a platform as influential as Twitter would feel pressure to lasso new users, but investors have been spooked by recent numbers that show the social network's growth tapering off. As it stands, the company has about 250 million monthly users, a far cry from Facebook's 1.23 billion.
What's more, the people who do use Twitter are using it less. Deutsche Bank recently released a survey of 1,100 people including current users, lapsed users and people who have never used Twitter. Quartz dives into the numbers here, but the bottom line is that most users who quit can't figure out how to use Twitter to find and keep track of the content they're looking for.
It's an old-fashioned user acquisition and retention problem. Lucky for Twitter, CEO Dick Costolo had the resources to hire a team of media gunslingers to figure out how to bring users and content to the site. Imagine them riding from town to town rounding up athletes, musicians, actors, journalists, television personalities and others (plus the occasional Pope) to the service.

Twitter is already catnip for media types, but Schiller's job is to make the service "indispensable to newsrooms and journalists." The longtime media executive and former NPR chief left her role as chief digital officer for NBC News in October for the newly-created position overseeing partnerships with the news industry.

One way Twitter could bring in users is as a shopping destination. Hubbard, the former CEO of Ticketmaster, is working to partner with merchants and payment providers to do just that. "We're going to go to people who have stuff to sell and help them use Twitter to sell it more effectively," he told Bloomberg upon joining Twitter in August.

Twitter paid $90 million in 2013 for Roy's TV-analytics startup, Bluefin Labs, to help the company understand the interplay between TV and social media. As the company's Chief Media Scientist, Roy drills into the numbers behind what makes viewers engage on social media.
"There are certain kinds of programming that I think, looking at the data, are social by nature," Roy told AgAge in September. "They just catalyze conversation," he said. "What's happening in the TV industry is a search to optimize for that characteristic and create more of it."

The Elk County Catholic Crusader football squad picked up a hard-fought 7-0 victory over the visiting Ridgway Elkers on a cold and muddy Friday evening at Dutch Country Stadium in St. Marys. With the win, the Crusaders should have secured a spot in the District 9 playoffs.
"The whole team played well. It was a total team effort tonight on both sides of the ball," said ECC coach Travis Skrzypek. "They kind of believed in what we were trying to tell them on offense. They stuck with it. It was hard going in the mud tonight, but they finally punched the one (touchdown) in at the end."
KARNS CITY - The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch football team closed out their regular season Friday night at Karns City, where the Gremlins downed the Dutch by a 33-21 score.
The Gremlins built a 20-6 first-half lead and led 33-6 after three quarters. The Dutch were able to put 15 points on the board in the final eight minutes of the contest.
"We played with a lot of effort," said St. Marys coach Joe Schlimm. "We're undermanned right now. Hopefully our season isn't over and hopefully we can get healthy for the playoffs, but right now I don't know."
DuBOIS – The St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen boys' soccer team saw their season come to an end on Thursday evening as they were handed a 5-1 loss by the Punxsutawney Chucks in a D9 semifinal match played at the DuBois Area High School soccer field.
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader volleyball team closed out their regular season with a 3-0 victory over the Johnsonburg Ramettes Thursday night at the ECCHS gym.

Brockway eliminates Lady Crusaders from 9-A soccer play
By JIM MULCAHY
Staff Writer
BROCKWAY - The Brockway Lady Rover soccer team eliminated the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders from the District 9-A tournament by a 2-1 score in a quarterfinal game played at Frank Varischetti Field in Brockway.
This was the third time that these two teams had met this season.
"They beat us three times by one goal each time," said ECCHS coach Don Fabiano. "I congratulate them. To beat a team three times in one season is quite an accomplishment."
KERSEY – The Elk County Catholic High School boys' soccer squad came up short to the Brookville Raiders on Wednesday evening, losing a close quarterfinal match 1-0 at Angela Huey Memorial Field.
RIDGWAY - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders fought back from a 2-1 match deficit and a match point in the final set for a 3-2 (25-11, 23-25, 24-26, 25-14, 16-14) victory over Ridgway Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
ECC won the first set but lost the next two to Ridgway, putting the Lady Elkers ahead entering the fourth set. The Lady Crusaders won the fourth set at 25-14 which set up the winner-take-all set.
RIMERSBURG - The Union Golden Knights handed the St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen a 25-7 Keystone Shortway Athletic Conference setback last night at Rimersburg.
The Dutchmen found themselves down 19-0 at the half and were not able to get out of the hole in the second half.
"I give Union all the credit. They outplayed us in every facet. They were well-coached and well-prepared," said St. Marys coach Joe Schlimm.
"We didn't handle adversity early in the ball game. We had to play catch-up and we're not very good at that game," he added.
The Elk County Catholic Crusaders were dealt a tough 38-6 loss by the Curwensville Golden Tide during a cold, wet and muddy contest at Dutch Country Stadium in St. Marys on Friday evening. The Crusaders' lone touchdown came in the middle of the third quarter after the Golden Tide had already built a 30-point lead.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen boys' soccer squad ended their regular season by slipping and sliding their way to a muddy 2-1 victory over the Port Allegheny Gators in a cold and rainy match on Thursday afternoon at the SMAHS soccer field.
All of the scoring for both teams took place in the first half.

Have you talked to your kids, tweens or teens about birth control and/or sex? Talking to kids about sex and how to get birth control can be awkward, or it can be a wonderful opportunity to open the lines of communication. Research about teen birth control decisions reveals that consistent teen birth control use happens in relationships where partners have discussed birth control prior to first having sex. Female teens who discuss contraception with their partners before sex are twice as likely to practice safe sex. Sixty two percent of females and 51% of males who discussed birth control with their partners before having sex for the first time reported always using contraception. Having the birth control talk, first with parents, may help facilitate these conversations between teen partners.
Many parents have questions about how to talk to their kids about sex and birth control options. So, if you have had the sex talk, please share how your sex discussion went. By doing so, other parents may gain some helpful tips on talking to their own kids about birth control and sex. And if you haven't had the talk yet and are looking for some guidance, see What Teens Want To Know: Sex Talk Advice for Parents...From a Teen's Point-of-View.

A 26-year-old woman is accused of killing a North Charleston man by plunging a knife into his chest during an argument at his Bexley Street home Sunday.
North Charleston police arrested Regina Carey of Bexley Street on a murder charge.
Tony Cleveland, 45, died of a single stab wound, according to Deputy Coroner Kimberly Rhoton of the Charleston County Coroner's Office. She would not say where on the body Cleveland was wounded, but detectives in an affidavit said Cleveland had been stabbed one time in the left breast.
Magistrate Linda Lombard set no bail for Carey on Monday, as only circuit court judges can set bail on murder charges. No friends or family members attended the bond hearing on behalf of either Carey or the man police said she killed.
The details surrounding their dispute were vague on Monday.
Officers were dispatched Sunday morning to 1070 Bexley St. and found a woman applying pressure to Cleveland's chest, an incident report states.
Cleveland, who was lying on the floor of an enclosed porch, did not appear to have a pulse, police said.
A witness told officers that the wounded man and the suspect had been arguing that morning.
Witnesses seemingly broke up the fight and Cleveland was rushed outside, according to the affidavit. He went back inside moments later and again confronted Carey. By then, she had grabbed a knife from the kitchen.
Witnesses tried in vain to separate the two. Cleveland fell to the ground, fatally struck with the knife, police said.
Paramedics transported Cleveland to Medical University Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Witnesses told police that Carey left the home with three young children before officers arrived. She discarded the bloodied knife in a neighboring wooded lot, according to the affidavit.
Carey was located in a traffic stop, and the children were found safe, Deputy Chief Scott Deckard said.
A woman who was at Cleveland's home Monday said she believes Carey acted in self-defense.
"There's always two sides to a story," said the woman, who would not give her name. "And now her kids don't have a mother because she's in jail."
Deckard said he did not have the particulars on what Carey and Cleveland argued about.
In this, and in most cases, he said, there are many different stories, speculation and interpretation about what occurred.
Who was the aggressor and whether Carey acted in self-defense are issues that will be worked out at trial, he said. "At this point, the information and evidence led us to charge Regina Carey with murder," Deckard said in an email.
Sunday's incident wasn't Carey's first run-in with the law. She was convicted on assault and battery charges in 2010 and 2011, State Law Enforcement Division records show. She also was arrested on an attempted murder charge in 2010, but The Post and Courier was unable to determine the disposition of that charge Monday.

About Graham Barker
Graham Barker (b.1966, Kent, England) is both an art director and visual-artist currently working in the medium of photography, employing both digital and analogue film. All of his work stems from an idea or a discovery, presenting the familiar and the mundane in a surprising and unfamiliar way. His work is often completed as a series of images, exploring one or several ideas concepts at a time. The 'Tasseography' series are a record of the micro landscapes discovered at the bottom of his morning cup of coffee. Who knows if they convey good or bad omens. 'Unknown lives' is a series of montaged photos bought from a charity shop in London called 'Past Caring' (what a great name!). There are no clues as to who these people were, so their story has been reinvented. What these final images mean is clearly up to the viewer. 'Castles in the sky' form part of a general project called ,Urbanality'. These images provide a fresh consideration of buildings old and new which may be all too familiar, bland or mundane. www.graham-barker.co.uk
Graham would welcome the opportunity to exhibit his work in any joint exhibition in the UK or Europe. Please contact Graham through his websites if you are interested in collaborating.

A fire lookout tower, fire tower or lookout tower, provides housing and protection for a person known as a "fire lookout" whose duty it is to search for fire in the wilderness. The fire lookout tower is a small building usually located on the summit of a mountain, or other high vantage point in order to maximize the viewing distance and range, known as view shed. From this vantage point the fire lookout can see any trace of smoke that may develop, determine the location by using a device known as an Osborne Fire Finder, and call fire suppression personnel to the fire.
The typical fire lookout tower consists of a small room, known as a cab located atop a large steel, or wooden tower, however sometimes natural rock may be used to create a lower platform. In some cases, the terrain makes it possible so there is no need for an additional tower and these are known as ground cabs. Ground cabs are called towers even if they don't have a tower to sit upon.
Although many fire lookout have fallen into disuse as a result of neglect, abandonment, and declining budgets, some fire service personnel have made an effort to preserve older fire towers, arguing that a good set of human eyes watching the forest for wildfire can be an effective and cheap fire safety measure.
The "Great Fire of 1910", also known as "The Big Blowup", burned 3 million acres (12000 km²) through the states of Washington, Idaho and Montana. It is still argued to be the largest forest fire ever during recorded history. The smoke from this fire drifted across the entire country to Washington D.C. - both physically and politically - and it challenged the 5 year old Forest Service to address new policies regarding fire suppression, and the fire did much to create the fire rules, organizations, and policies that we have today. One of the rules as a result of the 1910 fire stated "all fires must be extinguished by 10 AM the following morning".
To prevent and suppress fires, the U.S. Forest Service made another rule that townships, corporations and States would bear the cost of contracting fire suppression services, because at the time there was not the large Forest Service Fire Department that exists today.
As a result of the above rules, early fire detection and suppression became a priority. Towers would be built across the country. In 1933, during the Great Depression, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt formed the "Civilian Conservation Corps" consisting of young men and veterans of World War One. It was during this time that the CCC set about building fire lookout towers, and access roads to those towers. By the late 1930's there were about 8,000 towers in the United States.
The golden age of fire lookout towers was from 1930 through 1950. During World War II fire lookouts were assigned additional duty as Enemy Aircraft Spotters, especially on the West Coast of the United States.
From the 1960's through the 1990's the towers took a back seat to new technology, aircraft, and improvements in radios. The promise of space satellite fire detection and modern cell phones tried to compete with the remaining fire lookout towers but in several environments, the technology failed.
Fires detected from space are already too large to make accurate assessments for control. Cell phones in wilderness areas still suffer from lack of signal. Today, some fire lookout towers remain "in service" because having human eyes being able to detect smoke, and call in the fire, allows fire management officials to decide early how the fire is to be managed. The more modern policy is to "manage fire", not simply to suppress it. Fire lookout towers provide a reduction in time of fire detection to time of fire management assessment.
During the Edo period in Japan housed the . Usually the fire lookout tower was built near a , and was equipped with a ladder, lookout platform, and an . From these towers watchmen could observe the entire town, and in the event of a fire they would ring the alarm bell, calling up firemen and warning town residents. In some towns the bells were also used to mark the time.
While the fire lookout towers remained fully equipped into the Showa period, they were latter replaced by telephone and radio broadcasting systems in many cities.
In some locations around the country, fire lookout towers can be rented by public visitors that obtain a permit. These locations provide a unique experience for the camper, and in some rental locations, the check out time is enforced when the fire lookout operator returns for duty, and takes over the cab for the day shift.
Fire lookout towers are an important part of American history and several organizations have been founded to save, rebuild, restore, and operate fire lookout towers.
The typical cab of a wooden tower can be from 10'x10' to 14'x14'.
Steel towers can vary in size and height. These towers are very sturdy but tend to sway in the wind a bit more than a wooden tower.
The typical cab of a steel tower can be from 10'x10' to 14'x14'.
The typical cab of an Aermoter can be from 4'x4' (with a trap door on the bottom) to 8'x8'.
Ground cabs are still known as "towers" even though there maybe no such tower under the cab. These towers can be one, two or three stories tall with foundations made of natural stone or cement. These towers vary greatly in size, but many are simple wooden or steel tower cabs that were constructed using the same plans, sans the tower.

In addition to highly contested gubernatorial and senate contests, the voters of California will be deciding several of the most important ballot initiatives in the country. From PPIC (PDF):
Proposition 19
?16. Proposition 19 is called the "Legalizes Marijuana Under California but Not Federal Law. Permits Local Governments to Regulate and Tax Commercial Production, Distribution, and Sale of Marijuana. Initiative Statute." It allows people 21 years old or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Depending on federal, state, and local government actions, fiscal impact is potential increased tax and fee revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually and potential correctional savings of several tens of millions of dollars annually. If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on Proposition 19?
yes 44
no 49
don't know 7
The previous PPIC poll, from September, was the best poll to date for Prop 19, reporting it ahead 52-41, yet this most recent poll is one of the worst. Given how little change there has been in SurveyUSA polling, I find it hard to believe there really was a 16-point change in only a few weeks. Much of the decline in support found by the poll was among independents (from 65 percent to 40 percent) and Hispanics (from 63 percent to 40 percent).
Proposition 23
Proposition 23 is called the "Suspends Implementation of Air Pollution Control Law AB 32 Requiring Major Sources of Emissions to Report and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions That Cause Global Warming, Until Unemployment Drops to 5.5 Percent or Less for Full Year. Initiative Statute." Fiscal impact is a likely modest net increase in overall economic activity in the state from suspension of greenhouse gases regulatory activity, resulting in a potentially significant net increase in state and local revenues. If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on Proposition 23?
yes 37
no 48
don't know 15
Proposition 23 is a multimillion dollar project funded almost exclusively by the oil industry to cripple California's climate change legislation. A Prop 23 win in California could have made politicians across the country terrified to address climate change. The measure, however, appears headed for a big defeat, and many of the state's biggest politicians from both parties have come out against it. This will be a noteworthy victory for the environmentalist movement and strong rebuke of corporate attempts to buy democracy. [cont'd.]
Proposition 25
Proposition 25 is called the "Changes Legislative Vote Requirement to Pass Budget and Budget-related Legislation From Two-Thirds to a Simple Majority. Retains Two-Thirds Vote Requirement for Taxes. Initiative Constitutional Amendment." The legislature permanently forfeits daily salary and expenses until budget bill passes. Fiscal impact is, in some years, the contents of the state budget could be changed due to the lower legislative vote requirement in this measure. The extent of changes would depend on the legislature's future actions. If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on Proposition 25?
yes 49
no 34
don't know 17
California is uniquely burdened with a highly dysfunctional state legislature that requires a two-thirds vote for tax increases and for the state's budget. The result is near-continuous gridlock that hurts the state as a whole while dramatically empowering a small minority of Republicans in Sacramento. For those not from California, think of a situation similar to the current problem with the filibuster in the United State Senate. Prop 25 would at least remove the super-majority requirement for the budget.
Interestingly, despite the current set up, the partisan divide is not as big as I would expect. Currently, 58 percent of Democrats support Prop 25, and 39 percent of Republicans oppose it. I would think Democrats should support the measure in much greater numbers.
If this initiative does fail because it didn't get near-unanimous support from the Democratic base, it will be a sign of how significantly the Democratic party of California has failed to explain the systemic source of many of the state's problems.

Coulee Bank Acquires Branch In St. Paul
Coulee Bank of La Crosse comes to the rescue of a small Twin Cities bank...
Over the weekend, Pinehurst Bank of St. Paul became a branch of Coulee Bank. Coulee chairman Dirk Gasterland says the new branch has good employees, but Pinehurst had some bad luck recently. Coulee Bank assumed all 60-million dollars of the deposits in Pinehurst Bank, and most of the assets as well. Gasterland says customers of both companies should NOT notice much change in doing bank business.

Anthony Marx
Anthony W. Marx (born 1959) is the current president and CEO of the New York Public Library in July 2011, succeeding Paul LeClerc.[1] Marx is the former president of Amherst College, in Amherst, Massachusetts.
He is an alumnus of the Bronx High School of Science after which he attended Wesleyan University and Yale University; in 1981 he received a B.S. magna cum laude from Yale. He received an M.P.A. from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University in 1986, followed by M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Princeton in 1987 and 1990. In 2012, one year after he left the college, Marx received an honorary degree from Amherst College.
After graduating from Yale, Marx spent a year in South Africa participating in the anti-Apartheid movement. Even after returning to the U.S. for graduate school at Princeton, he returned frequently to participate in the founding of Khanya College, a secondary school which prepared black students for university.[2][3]
According to BusinessWeek, one reason the Amherst Board of Trustees chose Marx as president was his support for socioeconomic diversity on college campuses. One of Marx's goals was to make Amherst more accessible to qualified students from lower income families. Marx supports the 'QuestBridge College Match' program at Amherst. According to their webpage QuestBridge is, "...an alternative college admission and financial aid process specifically tailored to bright, motivated low-income students. [An] alternative process aids low-income students in presenting a full picture of their intellectual promise and personal qualities in light of their limited resources".[3][4]
Marx is author of three books on nation-building, and has concentrated on South Africa.
He is married to Karen Barkey, a professor of Sociology at Columbia University. They have two children, Josh and Anna.

A new, state-of-the-art approach to hip replacement surgery with smaller incisions, less pain and scarring and a quicker recovery time compared to traditional hip surgery is now being performed at Lenox Hill Hospital.
This innovative procedure, performed through two small portals instead of a large,
12-inch incision, also results in a shorter hospital stay that allows patients to return home the day after surgery - compared to four to five days for traditional hip replacement surgery.
"This minimally invasive procedure does not require the muscle and tissue to be cut," says Michael Alexiades, MD, an attending orthopaedic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital, who performs this minimally invasive procedure. "That adds up to a quicker, less painful recovery and a much more positive experience for the patient. It's another tool we have to help our patients get back on their feet and return to their daily activities in a minimally disruptive way."
For the aging baby boomer population, the shorter recovery period offered by the minimally invasive option is significant. In 2020, there will be approximately 80 million people over 65, compared to about 30 million over 65 today. The procedure is ideal for the growing number of seniors who are at the prime age for experiencing arthritis pain, but still need to return to their normal life as quickly as possible.
Dr. Alexiades predicts that one day this minimally invasive procedure will become the standard for hip replacement surgery. "It's the way to go for hip replacement," he says, noting, "Now hip replacement does not have to require a lengthy hospital stay or recovery time."

Final Score: Buffalo 2, Philadelphia 1 (SO)
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Maxim Afinogenov recorded the deciding
shootout goal to lift Buffalo over the Philadelphia Flyers, 2-1, at the
Wachovia Center.
Paul Gaustad scored midway through the third period to force overtime and
goaltender Ryan Miller made 33 saves for the Sabres, who have won seven
straight and 12 of their last 13.
Mike Knuble had a goal for the Flyers and Peter Forsberg lit the lamp during
the shootout and also recorded an assist. Goaltender Antero Niittymaki stopped
27 of the 28 shots he faced for Philadelphia, which has dropped two of its
last three.
Forsberg tucked a backhand shot between Miller's pads to put the Flyers up 1-0
in the shootout. Niittymaki had a chance to give Philadelphia the win on the
ensuing sequence, but couldn't stop Tim Connolly's elevated backhander.
Then, after Jon Sim was denied by Miller, Afinogenov faked a shot, wound back
up and then ripped the puck above Niittymaki's left shoulder to put Buffalo
out in front. Knuble had a chance to extend the shootout but Miller denied him
to give the Sabres the win.
The Flyers took a 1-0 lead at the 4:25 mark of the first period on a power-
play goal by Knuble. Forsberg received a pass from Michal Handzus down low,
moved out just in front of the goal line and sent the disc across the crease
to Knuble, who released a shot. His initial try was denied by Miller but
Knuble got his own rebound and punched it home.
The Sabres evened the score with 12:48 remaining in the game. Afinogenov
gained the blue line and rushed down the left side before dropping a pass back
to Gaustad. The center wound up and fired a shot from between the circles that
beat Niittymaki high glove side.
The Flyers were awarded a power play with 2:08 to play in regulation after
Rory Fitzpatrick was whistled for tripping. Philadelphia created heavy
pressure in the final minutes, but were unable to capitalize.
Buffalo gained the extra-man advantage in overtime and nearly put the game
away with just under one minute remaining. Teppo Numminen's slap shot from the
point rang off the left post and the game went to the shootout.
Game Notes
The Sabres have now won nine straight games on the road...Starting Buffalo
goaltender Martin Biron had the night off. He has won 13 straight decisions,
and can become the first netminder to win 14 consecutive starts since
Pittsburgh's Tom Barrasso from March 9 to April 9, 1993...Buffalo, which is
12-5-0 on the road overall, will visit Florida on Thursday...Philadelphia
goaltender Robert Esche was a scratch and is expected to miss at least two

streak snapped.
