KNOXVILLE – There is a bronze statue of legendary Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt standing proudly across the street from Thompson-Boling Arena.
Summitt's arms are crossed and she has a smile on her face. Thousands of Lady Vols fans have walked past the Summitt statue since it was unveiled Nov. 22, 2013.
Dr. Phil toys with me as he allows me to work my center and left wing to get the puck tantalizingly close to his net.
Then that big smile erupts on the face of a man who hands out "Live With Happiness" dog-tags – like the one dangling beneath his Hawaiian shirt – as he passes through life. With a couple of cagey quick twists of his wrists, Dr. Phil clears his end of the rink and fires a slap shot past my befuddled defensemen and goalie.…

Darren Criss Mourns Glee's Breakup — By Playing Piano and Crying (PHOTOS)
Look, we know you're still heartbroken over all Glee's big breakups in Season 4, Episode 4 — but you know what? So is Darren Criss (Blaine).
The Glee star, who penned an emotional letter of thanks to fans on the evening the episode aired, has been shedding plenty of tears himself after that devastating reveal that his Glee character cheated on boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer).
On October 4, Darren tweeted a photo of himself recording the piano for his most recent version of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." "No crying on this one, but feel free to do it yourself!" he wrote.
The next day, Darren followed up with a new photo — wide-eyed, and holding a tissue box as he wiped away tears. "So many tears, so many tissues needed from last night's episode- so why not do some good while we're at it? http://chrty.bz/GLEEthebreakup" he wrote.
He's referring, as you may have already heard, to the CharityBuzz.com auction in which the actors behind all three of Glee's major couples — Naya Rivera (Santana) and Heather Morris (Brittany), Darren and Chris Colfer (Kurt), and Lea Michele (Rachel) and Cory Monteith (Finn) — are auctioning off autographed tissue boxes in order to raise money for charity.
In fact, Darren and Chris's autographed box is already going for $1,850 — which really isn't that bad, at all. Especially for a box of Kleenex.
See, Darren? There's no need to cry. Now dry those tears. Because the sight of you curled up in a sock drawer and CUH-rying like that just makes our hearts really, really sad.

Product description
The lawyer-run adversary system used in Britain and its former colonies, including the US, India, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia does not try to find the truth. It is the only system which conceals evidence. 'Our Corrupt Legal System' explains why trial lawyers, famously economical with the truth, control evidence; civil hearings take weeks, months or years; in serious criminal cases, 24 anti-truth devices allow more than 50% of guilty accused to escape justice. By contrast, in the investigative system used in Europe and other countries, including Japan, trained judges control evidence and seek the truth; civil hearings take a few hours; 95% of guilty accused are convicted. It is the most widespread, accurate and cost-effective system. Russell Fox, an Australian judge who researched the law for 11 years, concluded: 'The public estimation must be correct, that justice marches with the truth.' The vast majority of voters will support change to a truthseeking system: trial lawyers are fewer than 0.2% of the population; the public are 99.8%. 'A masterpiece.' - Phillip Knightley, twice British Journalist of the Year.

LoveFilm launched in early 2004 and in just five years has revolutionised the film rental market. The company pioneered an online DVD rental service, using the Royal Mail to deliver - it is now its biggest first-class customer - which left old-style rental shops reeling. It now has a vast library of 65,000 films, including everything from major new blockbusters to niche titles such as How to buy a Labrador and 90 Tai Chi DVDs.
The model was simple. Films are returned for free in the same bag they are sent out in, there is no late fee or fine (unlike with the shop model), no binding contract, and packages start at just £3.99 per month for two films.
"There simply isn't a catch with us," says Simon Morris, LoveFilm's chief marketing officer. "It's a simple, great idea that is on the side of the consumer. Our churn rate is really low, despite the fact that people can leave when they want, and our existing customers are our best advertisers."
In its brief history it has seen off all competition, with over 20 similar operators closing and even Amazon choosing to give up and invest in the company. "They realised they couldn't beat us so they joined us," says Morris, adding that LoveFilm now mails out a colossal 4m DVDs per month.

Must Listen: Miami band Problem Kids raps about the real Cuba and 'useful idiot' Jay-Z
Pitbull may have taken a shot at rapping about the reality of Cuba in his response to Jay-Z's rap bragging about being a VIP guest of the Castro dictatorship, but Miami band Problem Kids hit the bulls eye with their latest release Useful Idiot (Open letter to Jay-Z) ft. Dimelo:
"We did this for our grandparents and parents, and a free Cuba, one day, hopefully."
- Problem Kids
Problem Kids's "Useful Idiot" About Jay-Z: "The Real Cuba Is Not What He Portrayed"
Problem Kids are Miami Cubans with a message for Jay-Z about his trip to Cuba. Their response to his "Open Letter" is a new track called "Useful Idiot."
"He looks like he's praising the Castro regime, and we wanna give him a history lesson," say MCs Mario Obregon and Christian Martinez of the local hip-hop group that Public Enemy's Chuck D has described as "Yeeeaaaaah."
They also have words for Pitbull, who they agree should have gone harder with his own response to Jay. "He should have told him that what he did is stupid and this is the reason," says Martinez.
Crossfade: Who are Problem Kids?
Mario Obregon, MC. Christian Martinez, MC. Nick Lebess, drummer. Omar Williams, guitar. Humberto Casanova, keys and sax. Edward Davis, bass. Rick Daugherty, AKA DJ Ethics.
What do you think of Jay Z going to Cuba?
He made it seem like it's not a big deal to go there when there are Cuban rappers thrown in jail right now just for their freedom of speech. For him to make it seem like it's just a place to go on vacation was wrong, and it's a big deal to us who feel it's important to tell the truth about Cuba for our family and our heritage.

text: Champagne Wishes Michelle Lentz November 30, 2009 FCG, Features 7 Comments My only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne. – John Maynard Keynes Champagne can soothe the soul and ignite romance. From the moment the cork issues the familiar pop, Champagne fuels excitement. by Kelly under a Creative Commons 2.0 license There are a lot of sparkling wines on the market, but they aren't all Champagne. In order to be labeled "Champagne," the wine must come from the Champagne region of France. This region pioneered the method of making Champagne that is now used worldwide. But it is the unique terroir of the region that makes true Champagne special. The region is uniquely suited for growing the three grapes that can make up the bubbly wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. This northern French region is cooler, and the chalk in the soil contributes to the acidity and character of the grapes. Large Champagne Houses, such as Taittinger or Moët & Chandon, grow some of their own grapes. However, a large percentage of their grapes are purchased from farmers throughout the Champagne region. Alternatively, grower Champagnes, often called "family fizz" or "farmer fizz," are created by farmers who grow the grapes and tend the vineyards. Grower Champagne often meets or exceeds the quality of large House Champagne, but has a smaller price tag. Brett Davis, Sales Manager for importer/distributor Vintner Select, says that the "best values are your grower-producer Champagnes as far as quality to price ratio." Jen Weppler, wine buyer for MicroWines in Cincinnati, OH, prefers the grower Champagnes. "The growers put a lot of their heart, soul, and pride into the product. I'd rather have a wine that speaks of a sense of place, people, and their heritage. I find farmer fizz much more interesting and it is a better value because you're paying for what you're going to drink rather than the name and the label." Tyler Colman, author of the book "A Year of Wine: Perfect Pairings, Great Buys, and What to Sip for Each Season," echoes her sentiments. "I really enjoy good grower champagnes for a lot of reasons. First, is clearly taste since they often have a lot of charm, reflecting greater individuality than the Champagnes from the big houses. Second, buying a grower Champagne supports a family business and, as with car rental firms, I like to believe that the little guy tries harder. Third, they often pack more punch at lower price points than wines from the grandes marques." How can you recognize a grower Champagne when you're shopping for bubbly this holiday season? On the bottom of the front label, there will be a tiny number preceded by two letters. NM (Négociant-Manipulant) signals a larger house that purchases many of their grapes, whereas RM (Récoltant-Manipulant) tells you that the winemaker grew the grapes. According to Terry Theise, one of the leading importers of grower Champagnes, there are now nearly 180 RM Champagnes imported into the U.S, up from 33 in 1997. Grower Champagnes occupy only 2.95% of the market, presenting a great opportunity to try something new. Champagne is one of the elegant extras in life. – Charles Dickens Whether you try a grower Champagne or opt for a larger house, you should understand the different types of Champagne available. A Champagne label includes a large amount of information about the wine, starting with vintage (or lack thereof). Champagne is divided into vintage and non-vintage (NV) wine. NV Champagnes are the most common and often include grapes from 3 or more harvests. Every so often, a vintage is so remarkable that the winemaker will declare it a vintage year. Remember that while one House may declare a vintage, another may not. Vintage and NV wines are at the discretion of the winemaker. Champagne also comes in several different styles that you'll see on the label. Blanc de blancs means that the wine was produced from all white grapes. In Champagne, this means the wine is 100% Chardonnay. Blanc de noirs means the Champagne is produced from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, or a blend of the two. You should also pay attention to the sweetness levels, denoted by French terms on the label. Extra Brut is usually very dry champagne, whereas Brut is dry, but may still be a bit rich on the finish. Extra-Sec and Sec are usually medium dry wines and Demi-Sec is usually the sweetest style you'll find on the market. Champagne! In victory one deserves it; in defeat, one needs it. – Napoleon Bonaparte In his 2008 Champagne catalogue, Theise relates a story of comforting a grieving friend with a bottle of Champagne. "What other wine can be at once appropriate for both celebration and consolation? The very sight of the tiny rising bubbles, dancing upward as if to snub their noses at gravity and exploding in a soft wash of foam, are heralds of unquenchable hope." And while Champagne has built a reputation as the bubbly of celebration, the bubbly has also earned a place at the table for many wine lovers. In our own home, we have thrown a breakfast party, pairing a simple quiche with our favorite farmer fizz. Natalie Maclean, who publishes an award-winning wine newsletter at www.nataliemaclean.com, believes that "Grower Champagnes have a depth and richness that is especially versatile with food. I pair them with everything from potato chips to Thai dishes. But they work with so many dishes: seared tuna, spinach quiche, pasta in cream sauce and even fried chicken." Ryan Leitner, of Northern Kentucky's Cork-n-Bottle, takes Champagne pairing a bit further. "Pinot Noir-based Champagnes will show more richness," he says, "and will pair with meats and a smorgasbord of cheeses. Blanc de blancs are often enjoyable on their own. Keep your pairings light, such as a simple bistro salad with lobster claw." Whether you're having potato chips or pasta, Champagne might just be the perfect match. – Michelle Lentz is a freelance writer based in Cincinnati, OH.

Dressing the Trees
Ever since, I've been whittling away at the lawn, replacing large chunks around the bases of trees with strategically placed groundcovers. I choose low-growing shrubs, herbs, or perennials that spread over the ground, bloom, and suppress weeds. Wood chips might do the same, but they are nowhere near as attractive. I have to admit that groundcovers require a certain amount of work; despite the advertisements, there is no such thing as a no-maintenance solution. The soil around the plants needs to be weeded occasionally and replenished yearly with compost.
As for size, I make the tree's petticoat at least equal to the spread of its canopy. If the tree is fast-growing, I make the circle a third larger—but never smaller. A shorter tree can be nicely dressed with a single type of plant repeated around its trunk. A larger tree can handle clusters of different plants weaving together into a more creative garden.
Skirting with Groundcovers
Even the "Big Three" groundcovers—pachysandra, periwinkle, and ivy—can be attractive when lavishly embroidered with an underplanting of bulbs such as daffodils, snowflakes, wood hyacinths, or colchicums. And between my car's refusal to drive past a nursery and my habit of perusing every catalog in my mailbox, I have discovered many interesting named varieties of those three standbys. On Pachysandra terminalis 'Silver Edge', each spoon-shaped leaf is rimmed in white, giving a subtle dappled effect. Periwinkle has both a white-edged variety, Vinca minor 'Sterling Silver', and a yellow one called 'Aureola'. Come spring, each is spangled with powder blue flowers. Other periwinkles have solid green leaves and delicate blooms: 'Miss Jekyll' sports a dainty white flower, while 'Atropurpurea' is a knockout in plum.
English ivies (Hedera spp.), which are evergreen, come in more than 60 varieties, with leaves of many sizes and in shapes resembling fans, diamonds, bird's feet, and hearts. 'Glacier' is splashed with white and has made itself at home in our woodland garden. 'Goldheart' holds a pot of gold in the center of its heart-shaped leaf.
Editor's note: English ivies are invasive weeds in many parts of the country. Small-leaved and variegated forms tend to be less invasive. Always check with your local county extension office before planting to see if an ivy variety is invasive in your area.

Simple Embellishments
Most trees on my lawn got simple skirts of a single species. A purple beech and an ornamental cherry have been livened up with a hoop skirt of St. John's wort, which is my old dependable, the perfect companion. I rely on him often. He never complains the soil is too heavy, doesn't care if it's sunny or shady, and is not invasive. Like hostas, St. John's wort can be divided yearly and is most cooperative when sent to the far reaches of the property to start a new colony.
Adorning the Landscape with Fall Flowers
Elsewhere on the shrinking lawn, we planted leadwort (Ceratostigma plumbaginoides), which wove its way between and around the shrubs to produce bloom in late summer and long into fall. After that, it departs in a blaze of glorious bronze red foliage. An assortment of colchicum cultivars rise through the blue leadwort from September into October.
Confusingly, colchicums are commonly called autumn crocuses. Colchicums (Colchicum spp.) and autumn-flowering crocuses (Crocus speciosus) do look similar, and both bloom in fall, but up close they are very different. Colchicum flowers and bulbs are generally larger, with six stamens in the centers of the blooms. Crocuses have only three stamens. The flowering stems of colchicums are naked of any leaves, while multiple blooms, 6 to 12 per corm, open one after another.
Combining three different cultivars of colchicums extends the bloom in the bed. 'Lilac Wonder' is the most prolific bloomer, with smaller vase-shaped, rosy purple flowers. 'The Giant' has larger goblets of lilac-pink flowers, and 'Waterlily' resembles its name, blooming last with large, double, rosy lilac flowers.
A Blooming Lawn
If it weren't for the family pastimes of croquet, badminton, and soccer, I'd do away with even more of our lawn than I already have. As it is, I've invited bulbs and wildflowers in. In early spring, snowdrops, crocuses, and scillas bloom in the lawn, followed by dandelions that complement the daffodils in the meadow. For some reason, gardeners usually cherish the kind of blue offered by creeping speedwell (Veronica spp.) but disdain this little creeper. I love its blue puddles scattered across the lawn. Clover, especially four-leaf types, brings us more than luck: In bloom, it's the snow-on-the-grass of summer. The only reason I remove it from the places we walk is to protect the bees. In summer, a member of my barefoot family always steps on one.

Boujadour — Prime Minster Abdelkader Taleb Omar said yesterday at the opening of the Seventh Religious Dialogue for Peace that "choosing the Saharawi refugee camps to hold such event is a message of solidarity and support with the Saharawi cause."
Prime Minister asserted that "the large participation at the forum, is clear message to the Moroccan false propaganda which tries to link Saharawi people with terrorism and the Saharawi refugee camps are not safe "
"Such false allegations aim at isolating the refugee camps", said Mr. Taleb Omar.
The Seventh Religious Dialogue for Peace under the motto "Prophet Moses in the Divine Religions" opened its works yesterday evening in Boujadour, with the participation of Imams, priests and professors from USA, Algeria, Great Britain and South Africa.

More layoffs at Duluth News Tribune
The Newspaper Guild representing newsroom, circulation and advertising employees at the Duluth News Tribune, said it expected another round of layoffs beginning Friday, Feb. 12.
Guild president Peter Passi said owner Forum Communications said it planned to layoff "a few more employees" in the latest round of cutbacks that has eliminated about one-third of the daily's work force over the last two years. Passi said education reporter Sarah Horner was among the casualties. Ironically, she authored a bylined page one story in the Friday edition in the prime upper right position above the fold.
Guild reporters were expected to participate in a one-day byline strike — permitted in their union contract — in the Saturday, Feb. 13 edition.
Passi said the company refused the union's offer of 2010 contract concessions in return for an assurance of no additional layoffs. Passi placed the value of those concessions at $77,000 during the year. In addition, the union was prepared to accept a one-day unpaid furlough during the year by all members, he said.
News Tribune Publisher Ken Browall didn't respond Friday morning to an interview request.
On Feb. 4, members of the Lake Superior Newspaper Guild, the largest employee union at the Duluth News Tribune, voted 98 percent in favor of negotiating wage and benefit reductions with the newspaper's Fargo, ND-based owner. The company-proposed cuts included a 1.5 percent wage reduction and the elimination of a 2 percent 401(k) match. Guild members were ready to make these sacrifices and go even further as necessary to prevent additional layoffs, Passi said. When the company's no-promises proposal was put in front of Guild membership, 78 percent of those voting rejected the measure, he said.
"The company appears fixated on punishing Guild members for turning down its demands for unilateral cuts in pay and benefits with no guarantee that Duluth jobs would be protected," he said.
"Workers at the News Tribune stand ready and willing to accept pay and benefit cuts to help the company succeed -- but only if it will save jobs in Duluth and preserve the quality of our paper for our customers and our community,'' Passi said. "We can't afford to keep losing jobs at the News Tribune. Yet the company seems eager to eliminate more jobs and damage its own product, even when we present it with logical and less destructive cost-saving alternatives.''
While media companies have faced tough times of late, many of the cuts at the News Tribune in the past year could have been avoided if Forum would work with the Guild to find alternative solutions that would keep the company profitable, according to the union.
Forum has never claimed an operating loss, according to the union. So the situation in Duluth differs from those of newspapers in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago that have sought bankruptcy protection, Passi said.
"Forum's cavalier attitude toward eliminating staff and shrinking the product shows a reckless disregard for the long-term viability of the News Tribune,'' Passi said. "Duluth deserves better.''

March 30, 1995
By Pamela Cressey
Robert and Mai Downham were interesting individuals, as was Robert's father, Emanuel E. Downham. Robert ran a saloon at 130 N. Fayette St. before his marriage, and later continued his father's wholesale liquor business; E.E. also had operated a distillery near the gas house on North Lee Street between Oronoco and Princess. Robert had grown up at 411 N. Washington St., just two doors away from the Lee-Fendall House.
Robert had to change the direction of his business in 1915 with Prohibition in Virginia. Opening a haberdashery at King and Pitt Streets (the Holiday Inn corner) apparently permitted him to continue in business. He was active in the Shriners and Knights Templar, and also assisted in raising funds for the George Washington Masonic National Memorial.
Before her marriage, Mai toured American performing in musicals and operettas. She was said to have a "voice of rare quality." No less than the Alexandria Gazette critic remarked on her local Gilbert and Sullivan performance. "She has a brilliant future." Her future became interwoven with the fabric of the house, and she continued performing with an ensemble known as the Sharps and Flats and as a church soloist. She taught piano and voice lessons in her front parlor for many years. Mai and Robert enjoyed the Washington-area theaters, and Mai's scrapbook includes clippings on various performances, including John Philip Sousa concerts. They also entertained frequently with parties for local friends. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson visited them on the occasion of the George Washington's Birthday parade. A grandstand enclosed with glass was built on or near the Downhams' yard from which the president viewed the parade.
Excavation of the brick shaft on the Lee-Fendall property yielded evidence of the Downhams' occupation. Notable among the thousands of artifacts recovered from the first three excavation levels are 1,265 nails; 23 pieces of drainpipe; 606 fragments of window glass; slate; lumps of roofing material; and paint samples. These artifacts were direct evidence of the Downham renovation.

Updated with a comment from Google below.
Just a few days after Google announced new safeguards against malicious apps in its Android Market, one researcher is already offering a helpful reminder that the mobile malware cat-and-mouse game is just getting started.
Last Friday, North Carolina State University professor Xuxian Jiang wrote on his blog that his team had discovered a new Android malware variant that pulls off a nasty trick. When it's first installed on a user's device, it contains no malicious code, evading any scans or requests for permissions that might catch its intentions on installation. Instead, the app is capable of downloading new code from a remote server after it's already been on the phone for hours or days, hiding the data transfer in the phone's communications.
The code it downloads includes an exploit known as "GingerBreak" that gains complete access to the device, allowing the cybercriminals to use any of the phone's functions at will: calling paid numbers, reading data, listening through the microphone or installing whatever other apps they want on the device silently. One app that Jiang's team saw the sleeper app secretly install, for instance, was DroidLive, another malware specimen that profits by sending text messages to paid numbers.
The malware's trick–what researchers call "privilege escalation"–would be far more difficult on Apple's more restrictive platform for the iPhone and iPad, which only allows approved code to run on the devices. But on Android devices, it had already been demonstrated in a research context by security researcher Jon Oberheide, who previously hid the ability to download new malicious code in two proof-of-concept Android apps, one that impersonated a Twilight movie photo application and another that claimed to be an Angry Birds sequel.
Now that Android privilege-escalation attack is more than theoretical, Jiang says. "Jon had just showed this was possible," he says. "This is the first actual malware that we found in the wild that uses this technique." The NC State researcher is calling the new attack "Rootsmart," based on Oberheide's prototype named "Rootstrap" and the less-catchy name used by the malware's authors, "com.google.android.smart."
Rootsmart itself isn't much of a threat to American Android users. In its current form, it doesn't package itself as anything a user might be tempted to download, and it wasn't found in the official Android Market, only on a Chinese app download site.
Update: As a Google spokesperson Jay Nancarrow points out, Rootsmart's GingerBreak exploit was also patched in May of last year. "In fact pretty much every Android device updated after May 2011 has had GingerBreak patched," he writes to me in a statement. "We explicitly test for it in our Compatibility Test Suite, and we won't approve a device that has the exploit present." That means a piece of malware hoping to replicate Rootsmart's trick would have to find a new exploit that would give it similar control of the device.
Still, the app hints at a technique for evading the new security measures that Google announced just last week for the Android Market. A program codenamed Bouncer now scans all apps uploaded to the Market for known malware, and simulates running the apps on a device to see how they behave. Given that Rootsmart doesn't initially contain malware and may wait out Bouncer's period of testing before downloading any new code, it's not clear that Google's Android Market scans would catch it.
Google spokesperson Nancarrow points out that Rootsmart wasn't found in the official Android Market and so falls outside the zone of protection that Google is trying to enforce with its new malware scanner. And the fact that Gingerbreak was already patched, he adds, points to Android's "defense in depth approach, not a reliance on any specific user protection measure."
But NCSU's Jiang says a variant like Rootsmart's potential to evade Google's scanner shows how mobile software is evolving. "At the very least, this would cause some challenges for a Bouncer-like system," he says. "I expect we'll see more of this in the future."

Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra™
Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra — her magnificent golden costume is re-created here in splendid detail. Cleopatra's luxurious gown has a dramatic "feather" cloak that surrounds her like the wings of a bird. Her spectacular headdress features cobra symbols that protect royalty, a sun disk enclosed in horns, identifying her with the goddess Isis, and a large double feather representing cosmic harmony.
The meticulous sculpting of our Cleopatra doll captures the stunning likeness of Elizabeth Taylor. Her face is painted so realistically that every detail is authentic to the movie - from the incredibly fine glitter eye shadow and heavy kohl liner to the exact shade of violet for her eyes. She is an amazing tribute to Elizabeth Taylor in one of her most glamorous roles.

Information on the current legislation and legislative news.
Unfortunately the House voted 57-48 in favor the (MPSERS) overhaul, a compromise that includes a study to fully transition from a defined benefit (DB) to a defined contribution (DC) system. Earlier in the day the Senate passed the bill, SB 1040, by a vote of 21-16, sending it to the House. The bill moved to the Governor's office for his signature.
The changes made in this version include the following:
There's little good news in the Senate and House finally voting out SB 1040 today. On a 21-6 Senate vote and a 57-48 House vote, they increased current employee contributions to their pensions, increased retirees' share of their health insurance, and ended retiree health insurance for new hires.
"This bill is not fair. It just shifts costs around and solves nothing," said Rep. Jeff Irwin (D-Ann Arbor) who spoke in opposition to the bill.
Under SB 1040, new hires will not be moved to a defined contribution retirement benefit. They will stay in the current hybrid system which combines a defined benefit and defined contribution mix. New to the bill, is the call for a study of the financial impact moving new hires to the defined contribution would cause. The study will be done by Nov. 15.
The Senate will try again tomorrow to take care of SB 1040, legislation dismantling the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System. (MPSERS). They tried last month but were short the votes (16-22) to pass the House version.
Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville and Senate Appropriations Chair Roger Kahn--author of the original bill--claim "there is a deal in principle" and they have the 20 votes needed to pass the bill. Gov. Snyder has been in favor of cost-cutting changes to the system--so much so that they were included in the 2013 budget.
All along a key issue has been switching members from a defined benefit plan to a defined contribution one and eliminating the current hybrid system. While some Republican legislators favored the switch, Kahn has been opposed to it because of the $300 million per year cost to do it. Just switching new hires over would cost school districts an additional $8 to $10 billion over the next 30 years.
Don't buy into the idea that your vote doesn't count. Your vote is your voice and when we all vote, we send a loud and clear message to politicians and special interest groups who would prefer we stay home tomorrow.
One of Gov. Snyder's goals in his April 2011 education message was to change how schools are funded and it seems a group he has appointed will help him accomplish that.
Richard McLellan, a former advisor to Gov. John Engler, is leading the group which intends to rewrite the 1979 School Aid Act with the focus on school aid following the student, rather than going to school districts. To accomplish that, the group is determined to make the School Code and the Act work together and incorporate changes that take into consideration "reforms" like unlimited charter schools and cyber schooling. McLellan is a strong supporter of school choice and vouchers. He helped draft the Kids First Yes! ballot proposal in 2000 that would have allowed school vouchers for students who are in supposedly "failing schools." The proposal was soundly defeated by voters.
In a public hearing last week, McLellan announced the rewrite goal is to "provide more flexibility to families in sending their kids to the school district they wish their child to attend." The group is getting its inspiration from Snyder's education message of providing education "any time, any place, any way, any pace." McLellan doesn't intend to add any more money to the school aid fund which currently provides $14 billion for education, but instead focus funding based on performance—another item on Snyder's wish list.
When McLellan took comments from the audience, the theme shifted away from money to how Michigan students are educated. State Superintendent Mike Flanagan, a resource for the group, was joined by others who encouraged the group to consider the design of the current education system and decide what a school should look like.
Even though SB 1040 couldn't get anywhere in yesterday's one-day legislative session, some other bills affecting school districts and school employees did.
Sen. Phil Pavlov (R-St. Clair) and Sen. Mark Jansen (R-Grand Rapids) tried all day to convince fellow legislators that their plan to shut down the current hybrid system and put all new hires into a defined contribution plan was the logical path to reforming the retirement system.
The new plan also called for a return to retirees paying 20 percent of their premiums instead of the 10 percent the House proposed. And there was no help for paying off the system's stranded costs caused in part by the privatization of jobs.
Their plan couldn't get traction with legislators, but then neither did the House's version (H-3) of SB 1040 which was defeated on a 16-22 vote. The issue now goes to a six-member conference committee appointed by Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville and House Speaker Jase Bolger.
Every Democrat voted against the bill and was joined by Republican Senators Brandenburg, Colbeck, Hune, Jansen, Jones, Meekhof, Nofs, Pappageorge, Pavlov, and Proos.
When the Legislature returns for one day on July 18, it's expected the Senate will take up the unfinished business of SB 1040. While the House passed its version of the bill, the Senate adjourned on June 14 before taking any action.
The Senate will take up the House version which includes the prefunding of the retirement system, giving new hires the option of a defined contribution plan, and a freezing of the retirement rate for school districts. All along, there have been Senators interested in forcing all new hires into a defined contribution plan, but at issue is the cost of such a move. The House version calls for a study analyzing the cost benefit.
Gov. Snyder signed into law the 2012-13 $48 billion budget this week. The new budget year begins Oct. 1.
The House passed their version of SB 1040 on June 14—the last day of session—and it was expected that the Senate would do the same. But they didn't. They adjourned without having taken any action because they didn't have the votes to pass it. Some Senators still oppose the House's move to keep new hires in a hybrid pension plan. They would prefer new hires be stripped of any pension and be put into a defined contribution 401(k) plan.

Was it attempted murder, a reckless act or self-defense?
It has long been a tradition that in the fall, people would harvest their crops.
But a group of marijuana growers in Jellico recently found that someone had done it for them.
Last Wednesday, their crops were found and harvested for them by the Marijuana Eradication Task Force. The task force harvested 151,250 plants in two days last week in the Jellico area. The plants averaged about five feet in height, according to the task force.
Flu season has arrived early and with a vengeance.
With illnesses, including the flu, to blame for high numbers of staff and student absences as well as a one day vacation for Campbell County Schools, taking a proactive approach to preventing future outbreaks is imperative.
People showed up in force, carrying heirlooms and other treasures to be appraised at Saturday's Antique Fair.
The event, held by the Campbell County Historic Society, will directly benefit the society through the maintenance and upkeep of the Campbell County Museum.
Antique appraiser John Coker was on-site at the LaFollette Middle School Auditorium to appraise anything and everything brought in by the public.
Coker brought with him, 37-years of appraisal experience. He is the owner of John Coker, Ltd. in New Market.
If a paperwork error was the only obstacle in the complete restoration of David Young's full citizenship rights, that matter was taken care of Monday. In a brief circuit court hearing on Monday Judge John McAfee signed off on the order that reinstated Young's rights entirely. In April Young had filed a petition asking for just that. He contended his rights had been given back to him shortly after his release from federal prison and this was a technicality.
Campbell County is a land full of historical learning opportunities. But the funny thing about history is that it can easily be forgotten.
People say they will never forget and they may even convince themselves traditions won't die out, not on their watch. But life has an odd way of providing just the right distraction at just the right time to induce a good case of amnesia.
Drugs were allegedly found at a Jellico residence, when Jellico Police Officer Jeffrey Ivey was dispatched to 1133 5th Street in Jellico on Sept. 8.
Upon arriving at the residence, Ivey spoke with the homeowner, asking to see proof of residence, according to the police report. Ivey also obtained permission to enter the home. Upon following the homeowner into a bedroom, Ivey was shown the contents of a drawer by the homeowner, which allegedly belonged to Crit Henderson Ford, 54, of 1133 5th Street, Jellico. Ford is allegedly also a resident of the home.
Jacksboro Police picked up Eric Brandon Ivey, 24, of 401 North Cumberland Avenue, LaFollette, on an outstanding warrant on Sept. 8.
The warrant for Ivey was issued by the LaFollette Police Department because of a robbery Ivey allegedly committed a week earlier, the arrest warrant said.
On Sept. 1, LaFollette Police Officer Stephen Wallen made contact with the victim in Arby's parking lot, which is where Ivey allegedly stole the victim's purse by force and left the scene, the arrest report said.
The trial of Bobby Keith Mays, who allegedly attempted to murder Jody Lee Currier just over a year ago began Wednesday.
It began with Natasha Gibson, Currier's fiancé, at the time of incident being called as the first witness.
According to her, Mays shot Currier after he struck Johnny Broyles on the head with a piece of porch railing that he had taken from her car.
Gibson claimed that the blow was self-defense. She told the sparsely populated courtroom it knocked Broyles unconscious.

Iran's Plan B in post-Assad Syria
Gozde Nur Donat of Zaman asks how Iran can maintain its influence in Syria after President Assad faces his much-anticipated ouster.
Iran's proxy wars in destabilized regions are a well-known fact. In an effort to deepen the rifts in societies of many countries, including Afghanistan, Somalia and Lebanon, Iran provides financial and arms support to the Taliban, an Islamist militant group based in Pakistan, and has also been linked to the al-Qaeda militant organization, responsible for destabilizing operations in countries like Somalia, Yemen and Iraq.
Unpacking Chabad: Their Ten Core Elements for Success
Writing for eJewishPhilanthropy, Steven Windmueller explores the reasons for Chabad's massive global success, and whether they can be applied to other organizations.
Through its intercontinental satellite programs, streaming video presentations, its Chanukah Live spectacular, the movement was able to target key constituencies and to deliver core messages. In doing so, Chabad achieved yet another of its marketing and mission functions: kiruv (outreach) to key Jewish and non-Jewish audiences.
Why the Palestinians are turning against al-Assad
The Syrian regime's brutal crackdown has alienated even its most ardent Palestinian supporters, writes Jonathan Schanzer for CNN.
To be sure, many Palestinians have long appreciated Syria's political and financial assistance to Hamas, PIJ, Hezbollah, and other factions that have engaged in "resistance" against Israel. But it has become impossible for even these violent factions to support a state responsible for the deaths of an estimated 18,000 people.

TUESDAY, July 22, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Blood donations to the American Red Cross are down substantially, and the agency says an "emergency situation" could arise within weeks.
"Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected," the agency said in a statement released Tuesday. "The number of donors continues to decline."
The looming blood shortage can be blamed, in part, on the calendar: This year, July Fourth fell on a Friday, cutting the number of blood drives the Red Cross could schedule for early July as volunteers went on vacation.
"In an average summer week, about 4,400 Red Cross blood drives are scheduled, compared to Independence Day week when only 3,450 drives occurred," the agency said.
While "all eligible donors" are being urged to give blood, types O negative, B negative and A negative are especially needed, the Red Cross said. Type O is the "universal" blood type, which can be safely used by anyone needing a transfusion.
Also needed are platelets, which allow blood to clot and are often needed by cancer patients, bone marrow recipients and burn victims. These patients need to be given these platelets within five days of donation, so it's essential that a fresh supply of donated platelets always be on hand, the Red Cross said.
The agency reminds Americans that blood can be safely donated every 56 days, and platelets can be donated as often as once a week.
Those deemed eligible to donate blood typically include anyone age 17 or older who weighs at least 110 pounds and is in generally good health. High school students and others aged 18 or younger also have to meet certain height and weight measurements.
"Blood and platelet donations are needed now and for the rest of the summer," the Red Cross said. "Individuals who donated blood earlier this summer may now be eligible to donate again and help patients such as accident victims, heart surgery patients and children with blood disorders."
More information
To find out how and where you can donate blood, head to the American Red Cross.

Puppy Left Alone In Car For a Month Survives Against All Odds
If you have ever been fortunate enough to own a dog, this next story will really, really anger you.
It seems that a car towed to the impound lot a month ago was carrying a bit of special cargo, in the form of a cute little puppy. The female terrier was left alone in the car sitting in the impound lot without being discovered for an entire month, and her owners apparently never came to claim her.
Luckily, this story has a happy ending, because the miracle puppy did not take her adversity lying down. Being a smart little scrapper without any kibble readily available, she ate trash to get by.
While the poor pup was in survival mode, a worker at the impound lot noticed the her inside the car and alerted the police. Animal control came and promptly freed her from her car prison.
The sweet little pup is now named Kia. She is doing fine in the care of the good people at KC Pet Project, but we bet she doesn't like car rides much.

Fil-Am eats 18 'balut' in five minutes to win New York competition
With that, 27-year-old Hollis resident Wayne Algenio set a record for balut-eating in New York, the first competition of its kind in the city.
In a YouTube video, Wayne could be seen focused at stuffing his mouth, drinking bottled water and occasionally dancing. At the end of the Maharlika-organized contest, he was awarded the championship belt, bits of 'balut' or days-old duck fetus still stuck around his mouth.
"I'm very excited about being the balut champ of New York," Wayne told The FilAm. "I didn't realize how much media coverage there was."
"This contest was my first experience with 'balut' and I didn't really get the full taste of it because I was just shoving it into my mouth and eating it as fast as possible," he described the summer afternoon contest held in Brooklyn's DeKalb market. "I did not have a tummy ache afterwards; actually I was still hungry."
Wayne works as a sterilization technician at SurgiCare of Manhattan. He studied at CUNY's John Jay College.
He has participated in a Dani's pizza-eating contest and placed fourth, winning $100.

For this competition, Wayne won a belt and no cash prize. "Just receiving a belt was more than enough for me," he said.
He vowed to be back next year "to defend my title."
Way to go, Wayne! - The FilAm
