Townshend man charged with hate crime assault of VPIRG canvasserJuly 17,2013By SUSAN SMALLHEER
Staff Writer
BRATTLEBORO A 62-year-old Townshend man pleaded innocent Tuesday to charges of racially-based simple assault for a July 2012 incident involving a canvasser with the Vermont Public Interest Research Group.
Herman Donna is charged with threatening an African-American man, Maroni Minter, 27, of Burlington, who was canvassing on behalf of the Montpelier-based nonprofit organization. He was not injured in the incident.
The simple assault charge, with a hate crime enhancement, could land Donna in prison for two years with a $2,000 fine.
According to the Vermont State Police, Minter believed Donna had a gun in his hands and threatened to shoot him, and called him racial epithets. Police said that while Donna did not own a gun, he admitted using a long-barreled lighter and a garden tool to threaten Minter.
Donna then got into his sport utility vehicle and chased Minter, who was traveling by bicycle. Minter told police he was carrying his VPIRG identifying information, as well as a clipboard and brochures about the groups programs. Minter told police that a woman at the home told him they were not interested, and he had turned to leave when he was yelled at by a man.
Minter stated that he turned around and observed the male reach up and grab a gun, described as a black colored pistol, from above the porch doorway, state police said.
VPIRG regularly canvasses during the summer, raising money for its programs on health, the environment and the economy, state police said.
State police investigated the July 17, 2012, incident at the time, and charges were brought a year later by the Vermont attorney generals office. Assistant Attorney General Ultan Doyle, who is handling the case, did not return a call for comment for the delay in bringing the charges.
According to a press release from the attorney generals office, Donna used several racial epithets and chased the canvasser from his property, while threatening to kill him.
Minter believed that Donna had a handgun and he told police that Donna threatened to shoot him repeatedly, and even followed him down his driveway at 216 Jay Road in an SUV. Police determined that Donna actually had a garden tool and a lighter with a tube extending from the handle.
Minter, who was on a VPIRG-issued bicycle, said he tried to get away from Donna as quickly as possible, but his bike wasnt working well, so he went to a neighbors home to ask to use the phone and to get away from Donna.
The neighbor told police Minter was shaking and appeared very afraid after the incident. Minter told police that on a scale of 1 to 10, his fear was the maximum.
Donna and his wife Deborah Donna told police their home had been broken into a few years ago, and he has now become paranoid so he locks the house and cars to keep from being burglarized again.
He said he is vigilant and watches out for his neighbors too and he was not sure what Minter was up to nor did he recognize him, the police officer wrote.
Deborah Donna said her husband did yell at Minter, but never threatened to kill him.
Herman Donna denied making any racially-based statements, the affidavit filed in court stated.
Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, said last summers incident with the canvasser was an isolated incident, and he declined further comment because it was a criminal case.
He said that VPIRGs experiences going door-to-door were overwhelmingly positive. VPIRG started canvassing in Windham County again last week.
Burns, who said he was not aware that the charges had been brought, said the canvasser in question was again working for VPIRG this summer.

Comments about Patagonia R3 Hi-Loft Hoody (Women's) Closeout:
This is exactly what I want! It is really thin that I put it inside my big coat and it can't be seen from outside. It is slightly longer than a normal fleece. However, it also makes it more comfortable since you can fold it up a little bit (I like to put it this way). The hoodie and the way that you can zip it to your mouth also makes an excellent design. Since I need to walk to school I zip it up when I am walking and it makes me WARM WARM WARM even with a temperature under -10F! I am a person particularly afraid of cold and this is absolutely a great purchase for my winter! Absolutely worth the price especially when discount from this store!

Comments about Patagonia R3 Hi-Loft Hoody (Women's) Closeout:
You can't go wrong with the Patagonia R3 Hoody. This is my 3rd one and they are awesome. They're soft like a teddy bear and so comfortable. The cut is nicely feminine too. By looking at it you'd think it was super thick (it's not) but as a layering piece it's perfect. Not windproof but it breathes well and keeps you comfortable. Size up if you plan to use it as an outer layer in the early Fall/Spring. If you want a closer fit order your true size to layer under a shell. The fabric has "give" to it and will work well with a t-shirt. It's a pricey piece but if you can find it on sale (like I did) you'll be very glad you got it! The teal green is beautiful and you can't go wrong with the traditional black or grey. Patagonia rocks!

Week of February 11 - 15:
It was yet another week of waffling for Liam, and Taylor and Eric continued to get closer. Here are some thoughts on the week:
Give me your lingerie.
The idea of Taylor and Eric, her children's grandfather, is difficult enough to get the mind around without them having super-awkward conversations. Who didn't absolutely cringe when Taylor told Eric to give her the lingerie he designed for Stephanie and she'd wear it for him? The sentiment was lovely, but in what universe would Taylor fit into lingerie designed for Stephanie, and why on earth would Eric want to see Taylor wearing something intimate he'd designed for his recently deceased wife? Yeesh! Adding to the ridiculousness was Taylor making sex noises while working out. They write some really odd things into this show! Anyway, some are on board with Taylor and Eric, some think she may be using him, and some aren't feeling it at all. If there were more sparks between them it might help this along. He had way more chemistry with Donna.
Home of the waffler.
It's at the point where scenes with Hope or Steffy or Liam, or the endless flashback scenes, just produce audible groans. It's so far beyond past time to wrap this up and let other characters have legit storylines and lives. Bell's promised a shocking climax to the triangle, but the only thing that could still shock us with regard to this storyline is if it actually came to some kind of lasting resolution. As for Brooke planning an Italy re-do at this stage of things - just so dumb and doomed. Have we learned nothing?
So, I guess Marcus and Dayzee's latest storyline is coming to a close what with Maya accepting her daughter's death and not appearing to be considering legal action against Dayzee. Much like the hit-and-run previously, this story just seemed to pop up and then resolve. It will be interesting to see if Maya and Carter will stick around and how they'll fit in.
Forbidden love.
Well, it didn't take much more than a tired Katie on Valentine's Day to get Bill's mind back on Brooke. She's thinking about him too, which means this is going to happen - it's just a matter of time. What did you think of Bill's dream about Brooke coming to him in lingerie? Let Soaps.com know by voting in our B&B Bill's fantasy poll.

Deschutes. Bravely Done.
We were recently asked where did "Bravely Done" come from. Well, it's many things. A call to arms. A pat on the back. A summary of each beer. A salute to every explorer. True to where we've been. A yardstick by which to measure any new venture. The message, to all in the Deschutes family, is simple: If it's not challenging, game-changing, unexpected, don't do it. Further, it's more about how we are than what we say.

The Ph.D. in Law
Jason Mazzone
Ever since I began teaching, I have believed that law professors in the United States should hold a Ph.D. in law. That belief is even stronger today. One reason law professors should hold a Ph.D. in law is that doctoral training in law would improve the quality of legal scholarship. For example, much of the scholarship that is produced nowadays in my own field, Constitutional Law, is not especially good. There are likely a variety of reasons for this, including the inability of many authors to distinguish between writing an academic article and authoring a legal brief. Doctoral training, with a substantial dose of training in scholarly methods, would head off this and other problems.
Rather than have a bifurcated curriculum, having the PhD be an extended version of law school might make more sense. Most PhD programs do have classes for the first couple years anyway, so adding on three years of research and dissertation to get both a JD and PhD in law isn't a huge stretch.
As it stands now, the fact that law professors are JDs means that they can argue cases and take leaves to work in government, making it more attractive than having to choose one or the other, especially how hard it is to get into legal academia. What else could you do with a PhD in law and no JD? Few would go that route. Also, given we generally do not have undergraduate law degrees, bifurcating the curriculum would require many academically inclined people to choose a path before really having a chance to see what law is about.
Would these new legal scholars be the appropriate faculty for more than perhaps one or two classes in the vocational track schools?
Perhaps this would be a practical way to transfer subsidies for scholarship from law students to general endowments and grants.
The primary purpose of a law professor is to teach students how to be lawyers. A separate track of education for Ph.D. professors would result in higher barriers to entry for teaching, and lower quality teaching (Ph.D. professors will be less likely to have the experience in the art of being a lawyer). Law schools are already justly criticized for not providing much practical education, Jason Mazzone wants to made legal education even less useful.
Does Post say how Yale's new PhD in law will differ from their existing SJD program? Is this just a re-branding w/ perhaps less emphasis on training foreign lawyers?
Another question: part of getting a PhD in history, economics, psych, etc. is learning how to apply the tools of a discipline to various topics. Law certainly has tools that it applies, but they are largely the ones you suggest make for bad scholarship. What special disciplinary tools do you see being taught in a law PhD program? And, why would you think that would be better than an approach that involves both training in law and in another discipline, one that teaches distinct tools that may be fruitfully applied to law? (Only a tiny few law professors have a PhD and no legal training at all, after all. Even those w/o a PhD often have some legal training.)
"The primary purpose of a law professor is to teach students how to be lawyers."
Yes, but there's an additional component, too. Getting students to think about not just the "black letter law," but the purposes for the law, the structure of the law, and the basis of the law. Lawyers aren't particularly good at doing this--perhaps in part because they operate within the existing framework of the law and the specific matters of their individual cases.
Actually, many lawyers who practice in the world of litigation are quite good at explaining the policies behind law, whether statutory or common law. I'll be glad to put myself in a law school classroom and explain insurance law, tort law, contracts, employment law or other topics in which I have practiced, and to help students learn both the meaning and practice of these areas of law--and how they intersect...
As for the substance of the article, there is a natural tension as to whether law schools are technical schools or philosophy schools. If the former, then the more practicing lawyers and judges as professors, the better. If the latter, then the PhD idea makes more sense. As we don't live in an either/or world most of the time, perhaps we need to consider whether three years in a law school is a PhD after all and avoid the overcredentialing of an already expensive process...:-)
Hi Jason, very interesting topic. Can you tell us a bit more about Yale's new Ph.D. program in law? Didn't they already have one? :) Seriously, how long on average will it take? What would a dissertation in law look like? Who would serve on the committee? Any Non-Ph.Ds?
Just a thought. It strikes me that, say, graduate training (and not necessarily a Ph.D.) in, say, political science, history, economics, or philosophy would prepare someone who wants to do academic legal research and writing. In fact, those fields intersect nicely with "law". What would a Ph.D. in "Law" add?
I think that you're right that more training in academic research 9and simply more time to read and know all of the relevant literature) is a big step in the right direction of having law professors produce better scholarship. I'm not sure that a Ph.D. in law is the answer.
P.S.- Anyone know what percentage of law professors already have Ph.D.s? I know that the numers have been growing recently but they still have to be low.
I agree with what you said here: "As for the substance of the article, there is a natural tension as to whether law schools are technical schools or philosophy schools. If the former, then the more practicing lawyers and judges as professors, the better. If the latter, then the PhD idea makes more sense."
This makes a lot of sense to me, but then your next bit didn't follow to me: "As we don't live in an either/or world most of the time, perhaps we need to consider whether three years in a law school is a PhD after all and avoid the overcredentialing of an already expensive process...:-)"
The problem is that Jason is right about great amounts of terrible scholarship out there. As a hopeful future legal scholar myself, I can say that after law school, even as I tried to write academically as much as possible, I still need training in how to do so. The law school environment is simply not suited for, as is. It's too class centered and intellectual curiosity is actually culturally frowned upon, strangely enough. (Ever heard someone called a gunner for asking questions in a PhD program?) So, in other words, there might well be value in training for scholarship beyond the JD, even given the natural tensions in legal academia.
Two reasons I can think of:
1) If you want to be a legal academic, why have to study another field?
2) Time. There would be a lot of overlap in learning the basic structure of the law as you do in law school, and the foundations of what you'd need as a PhD. Law school is a slightly longer version of the two years of classes that most PhDs have to take to get a foundation in their field, (ok, maybe one year's worth, but then most PhDs come in with undergraduate training in their areas). Therefore, only another three or so years should be needed, rather than a six year PhD elsewhere.
(1) Because law intersects w/ so many other fields; it's not autonomous. If you look at the best scholarship in, say, constitutional law and theory, many of those law professors have graduate training in other fields.
(2) I know, I've done both (J.D. and Ph.D.), and believe me, most people these days don't make it through a Ph.D. program in the humanities and social sciences in only six years (assuming that they make it through at all). If you were to write a dissertation in another field related to law, then you could try to turn it into a book manuscript or carve it up into self-standing law review articles and make yourself more competitive on the academic legal job market.
Recently, Larry Solum wrote a piece recently on becoming a law professor. Please feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com if you'd like me to send it to you as an attachment.
(1) That's true, but you might have the cause wrong. It might be the other field that is influencing it, or it might just be the academic training. That's sort of the point of this whole discussion - the academic training itself is important to good scholarship. Of course, the multidisciplinary approach is not a bad thing, but maybe it shouldn't be the only way to get the training.
(2) More power to you. I toyed with the idea of applying to PhD programs, but honestly, I just would not make it through another 6+ years of school right now. (I have already switched careers, but I think the sentiment would exist in someone that went straight through as well.)
There's a difference between intellectualism and street smarts but there's also an intellectualism that engages experience, and the skill of reading situations on the fly. The humanist academy has insulated itself over the last decades, in the name of objectivity, reason, and science (often as pseudo-science) in what seems like a continuation of the "Two Cultures" debate. The model of intellectualism not founded rightly or wrongly in natural science sis founded on the model of philosophy and academics as philosophers. This ties indirectly to the European model of inquisitorial justice and not the Anglo-American model of adversarialism, which is chaotic by comparison, but more founded in the vulgar practice of democratic debate. I think I'm reading a defense of that here now.
It's always amused me that Brian Leiter held the "Joseph D. Jamail Centennial Chair in Law", at UT Austin. Here's a clip of Joe Jamail in action.
I want to continue a bit because the subject has begun to come up in academia. Professional philosophers are beginning consider something they call Embodied Cognition. It's a problem that they're fundamentally opposed to the practices they're trying to understand. It would be a mistake for law professors to insulate themselves in this way.
The following is something I posted on a philosophy page where embodied cognition is a popular subject. The link to SSRN is courtesy of a commenter here.
"Embodied knowledge also includes the interpretation of embodied knowledge: the skills both of the craftsman and the critic. Expertise by way of embodiment is called connoisseurship. The contemporary model of naturalist epistemology dismisses it out of hand, as philosophy has always opposed rhetoric, while indulging it as we all must.
Trial lawyers are connoisseurs, as legal performers and critics. Lawrence Solan, "Lawyers as Insincere (But Truthful) Actors" SSRN. Solan underestimates the role of insincerity in daily life and of the common requirement to recognize it, partly I think because as a liberal, he wants to see himself as sincere. But we live our lives following performances as texts and subtexts. The ability to read subtext is one aspect of the ability to read embodiment. The only way to escape liberalism is to acknowledge embodiment not as worthwhile subject but as method and to trust no one, note even yourself."
Lawyering is an art, and in our system it's vulgar. Academia is caught up now in a cooperative, collaborative model of study, of "research", that then sends out opinions written in the form of judicial decisions. Moral Hazard seems to apply to everyone but economists, and "liberal" politicians foist illiberal policies on the electorate with no change to the self-designated labels. Sandy Levinson has already gone over the Yalies in the White House legal staff.
"Could you elaborate on how a Ph.d would mitigate the problem of results-oriented scholarship?"
Again, mls, your arguments here have been more founded in rhetoric than anyone's.
"Like Professor Tushnet, I don't claim that the mere fact that no one has raised the argument before means it is meritless. But it is pretty evident that any merit it may have is, shall we say, coincidental."
That's not criticism of an argument it's criticism of an attitude. I don't care that you did it, it's a lawyers' trick and tricks are legit: you fight with what you have. But if your moralism is rendered false by your technique, it's the moralism that's the problem.
Instead of having a curriculum forked, a Ph.D. is an expanded version of the law school might make more sense. Most doctoral programs are the classes for the first two years anyway, the addition of three years of research and doctorate, both a doctorate and a PhD in law is a vast expanse.

Gallery: Take a Peek at a Stunning Secret Swiss Villa Hidden Into a Mou...
In a location as picturesque as Vals, Switzerland, it's difficult to imagine any new construction that wouldn't impose on the beautiful landscape. So, when the rare opportunity was granted to construct a new dwelling just a stone's throw away from the famed Vals thermal baths, it was of paramount importance to not disturb the tranquil site. Designed by the architects of SeArch and Christian Müller, this underground house exemplifies the notion that thoughtfully constructed buildings can live in harmony with their surrounding environs.

Building codes at the moment are the biggest issues I find. Houses built into the earth are fantastic. Living on acreage and working hard to live "off grid" can actually be difficult. I ran into code issues when I wanted to split my waste water into Gray and black waste water systems. When I split my fresh water into potable and non potable systems it was a major issue.
Though a licensed master electrician and contractor I ran into issues with local authorities when I went with solar electrical power.
My hope is that as homes become "greener" and more environmentely sensitive, building codes will be adjusted to reflect and allow it.

Google tested many interfaces for displaying related searches: at the bottom of the page, above the search results, in the left or right sidebar. A recent experiment adds some related searches to the toolbelt, the sidebar that includes many advanced options.
Alistair Lattimore noticed that a search for [Circle on Cavill] returned a big list of refinements in the sidebar: restaurants, retail, apartments, for sale, map, parking, hotel, movies. Selecting one of the suggestions changed the query to [Circle on Cavill restaurants] or [Circle on Cavill retail], even though the search box didn't change the query.
Some would say that Google borrowed a Bing feature, even if Google tested it earlier or Hakia used it before Bing. What I find troubling is that Google combines site categorization filters like forums or reviews with search refinements.

The Department for Education (DfE) funding for Met Office Education Services ended on the 31 March 2014. The discontinuation is a result of funding cuts within the DfE and is part of a wider rationalisation of education services. As a result the Met Office is not able to continue to provide dedicated education services to teachers and pupils.
The Met Office Educational Videos will still be available via YouTube.
You can also learn about the weather via our Public Weather Services pages.
It is likely that a selection of our teaching resources will be made available online by the Royal Meteorological Society's (RMetS) MetLink and on the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) website in the near future.

Downtown dwellers enjoy rooftop 'backyards'Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
A pool, a patio, a grill, a garden, a place for your dog to romp — all evoke the pleasures of a spacious suburban backyard. But many Downtown residents have made their own private "backyard" oases in an unlikely location — building rooftops.
When her husband first proposed leaving their South End home to move Downtown, Janet Albright resisted.
"I told him, 'Fine, as long as you find me green space,'" she said. "I didn't want to move Downtown and I knew he couldn't find a building with green space."
But he did — a building on South St. Clair Street with a flat roof, perfect for starting a garden. They've lived there now for more than 10 years and Albright is a Downtown convert — in large part due to her rooftop "sanctuary," a popular gathering place for family and friends.
She and her husband, Richard Rideout, live on the top floor of the three-story building and lease the other two floors. Transforming the building into their dream home was a "labor of love," but worth the effort, Albright said.
"The cool part for us was we had a blank canvas," Albright said.
Today, their private rooftop features potted herbs and flowers along with a deck, dining area, refrigerator, grill, bar, TV and more. They even have trees — two hardy corkscrew willows. Her blueberry bush didn't survive the winter, but her rose bushes are blooming. The only thing she doesn't have is vegetables.
"My one sore spot," Albright said. "I cannot get them to grow. It's not them; it's me."
The couple's "backyard" is a popular gathering spot for family functions; there's even been a wedding held there.
"It's like a sanctuary," Albright said. "It's no different than having a great backyard and hanging out on your patio when you live in the suburbs, but mine's up four stories up and I have a beautiful view of the city. We can see all the bridges and have a beautiful view of the river."
This summer, the rooftop deck is being remodeled so Albright isn't able to utilize the area as much as she'd like.
"I am in absolute withdrawal right now," she said.
A few blocks away on Washington Street, residents at Bartley Lofts were hanging out at their rooftop pool.
"The pool really sealed the deal for me," said resident Kate Kelley. "It was a big selling point. My husband said, 'Oh, boy.' He knew we weren't going anywhere else once I saw that."
Kelley, who works Downtown as a financial adviser for New York Life Insurance Company, traded a two-hour commute in downtown Baltimore for a two-minute commute in Downtown Toledo.
The rooftop lounge area also features a grill and periodic wine tastings, Kelley said.
"Everyone congregates here in the summertime. You get to know people. It's like 'Melrose Place' in a good way," she joked. "You make a lot of friends up here — and a lot of friends in the city when you tell them you have a pool."
Having a great vantage point for fireworks is another perk of access to a Downtown rooftop, said Bartley Lofts resident Emily Lamb.
"Fourth of July is perfect," she said. "You can see the Mud Hens as well as Downtown, Maumee, everywhere."
A Downtown building with a rooftop patio offers "the best of both worlds" — walking distance to coffee shops, bars and restaurants, but also a "backyard" oasis to hang out in at home, Kelley said.
"I spend a lot of time up here," she said. "I'm spoiled by the view and the pool."
A few blocks away, Isaiah Harris, 16, who is living in Toledo for the summer with his dad at La Salle Apartments on Adams Street, said he likes to use the rooftop for entertaining friends. The spacious patio that stretches the full length of the building.
"It's really nice when you have visitors," he said.
But his favorite part of his Toledo backyard is watching sunsets.
"The one thing I love personally is watching the sun turn different colors," Harris said. "It's just amazing."
La Salle resident Jasmine Cogdell likes to use the roof to write songs and play with her Yorkshire puppy, Tokyo.
Even though it's a shared space, it feels private because most people keep to themselves, Cogdell said.
"I come up here to write, to drink. It's peaceful," said Cogdell, a Bowling Green State University student studying special education. "I like to sit up here and chill. It's nice to have this."
La Salle resident Michael Seay also enjoys the roof as much as possible.
"I live up here in the summer," said Seay, who said he likes to grill out and entertain guests. "It's nice to be Downtown. I live here for convenience, for getting around."
His roommate, Nick Amrhein, a photographer, said he likes to utilize the rooftop for photoshoots.
The Commodore Perry Apartments on Jefferson Avenue doesn't have a rooftop patio, but is "very pet-friendly" and offers a small private "dog park" area for resident dogs to interact and do their business while their owners to sit and talk, said resident Kristen Mollenkopf.
Aaron Bonnough moved Downtown to the Standart Lofts about two months ago because he wanted a change. He was a little afraid he would miss his Springfield Township backyard, but now he says he shouldn't have worried.
"There are aspects I do miss about having a backyard, but there's so much space up here. I was surprised how much," Bonnough said from the rooftop patio of the Erie Street apartment building, which features patio furniture and a large grill. "I miss having a lawn — but I don't miss having to mow it.
"It's a nice atmosphere to hang out in. I haven't used the grill yet, but people are always up here," Bonnough said.
Albright said she loves living Downtown and has no plans to leave.
"Anybody who has anything negative to say about Toledo, I'd like them to come to my home and stand on my roof and have a nice glass of wine or an iced tea and they will understand why it's a great city," Albright said. "It's what you make of it."

Professor, Department of Medicine (Infectious Diseases)
Professor, Department of Microbiology & Immunology
Professor, Department of Pathology
Dr. Kim is Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases), of Microbiology & Immunology, and of Pathology. Her laboratory focuses upon understanding the pathogenesis of toxoplasmosis and malaria, parasitic diseases of global significance. The Toxoplasma projects use a multidisciplinary systems biology approach to understand how the parasite senses and responds to changes in its host. Using a combination of epigenomics, genetics and proteomics, her group is studying how the parasite transitions from the pathogenic tachyzoite form to the persistent bradyzoite form. She has also worked with the Plasmodium yoelii rodent models to develop new malaria drug treatments and to understand malaria virulence. Recently she has developed collaborations with clinical investigators at the Blantyre Malaria Project in Malawi to understand the clinical impact of HIV co-infection upon cerebral malaria. She is also interested in understanding epigenetic and genetic factors that govern the host response to parasitic infections, opportunistic pathogens and tuberculosis. Dr. Kim is Director of the NIH-funded Training Program in Geographic Medicine and Emerging Infections that supports graduate students and post-doctoral fellows (MD or PhD) pursuing mentored basic science and translational global infectious diseases research.
Dr. Kim graduated magna cum laude in biology from Harvard University and received her medical degree from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. She trained in internal medicine at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and in infectious diseases at University of California, San Francisco. Following her clinical training, she did a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine, after which she joined the faculty at Einstein in the departments of medicine, microbiology and immunology and pathology.

My son(37 weeks) sat unassisted around 8 months, crawled around 10-11 months and walked at 14 months. I rememember taking him for a checkup at almost 7 months as he wasn't yet rolling over. (they sent us to a PT and he rolled the day before we went)
My daughter (33 weeks) sat unassisted around 9-10 months, crawled around 11-12 months and walked at 16 months.
Your daughter is still in the range of normal for her adjusted age. If you say she's bright and active I don't think I'd worry too much for now. Have you spoken to your dr about your concerns? They might be able to show you some exercises to help encourage those milestones, or a referral for PT if they think it's warranted.

My copy of IT. It's not signed, not a first edition, not fancy - just a beat up old, slightly water damaged at the edges paper back, which has a scuffed spine full of creases, and the back cover and page is secured on with cellotape. But it was my favourite King movie, and the whole reason I started to read his books. It was the first book I ever bought, and it was dirt cheap at £2.51 - now I have just bought a 3rd shelf for my SK books. It is still my favourite novel and I probably wouldnt swap it for a brand new one. It reminds me of a relic from an Uncharted game or something.
My favorite is my paperback copy of Carrie. It is a first edition, well worn, which I bought when it first came out and had no idea who SK was. Just looking at the cover (which opens up to reveal a gatefold of a "town" on fire) brings back so many great memories.

As a Stephen King collector, it's hard to choose, but I've narrowed it down to three. In no order:
- The Mist Snow Globe. Just a simple little snow globe sold by Blockbuster Video when the DVD edition of The Mist came out. It's cheaply made, but they're pretty rare, and I turned it into somewhat of a big deal over at TheDarkTower.org. Now everyone wants one!
- Knowing Darkness. Signed Limited Traycased Edition. A HUGE book, nearly forty pounds. Artwork inspired by Stephen King. An amazing, beautiful production.
- My Skeleton Crew Treasure Chest. A Pre-publication collection of different formats of the Skeleton Crew Signed Limited Edition, most of them including hand-written edits and corrections by the editors. I love it. It also came with a proof copy of the dustjacket.
Let me just say that I'm extremely jealous of all of you!! I've said it before but since joining the board I've learned about all of the special/limited editions that are out there and now I want them! This is going to be an exspensive obsession...my husband doesn't get it, I'll have to work on him!

Johny Hendricks: GSP 'threw me under the bus' on 'shady' VADA testing
UFC 167: GSP's trainer calls for drug testing by both VADA and the NSAC"You can test me today for anything," Hendricks said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "Today, tomorrow, you name the time, I'll be there."
The problem, as Hendricks sees it, is that St-Pierre's camp has insisted the testing be conducted through the Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, a company which prominently features St-Pierre on the front page of its website.
To Hendricks, that's cause to question VADA's impartiality.
"I don't know GSP and for him to say 'yeah, let's go take the test over here and nowhere else that I suggested or that even the UFC suggested,' that's a little suspect to me," Hendricks said. "My career is held in his hands and here he has a foot in the door with the VADA group."
Hendricks went on to liken it to two people applying for the same job.
"That's like if you're trying out for a job, and a guy says, hey, we're both trying out for the same job, you both gotta sign up for a drug test," Hendricks said. "And he says 'hey I've got a really good guy that you can drug test over here.' Are you going to take that drug test over here with someone that he knows, or are you going to get someone you don't know, so that way it's on equal grounds?"
The way Hendricks sees it, his Nov. 16 match with GSP at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in the main event of the company's 20th anniversary event, is his big shot at the money that goes with a top position. And he's not willing to risk that on anything that appears to be less than a level playing field.
"I'm not willing to say 'You know what GSP, you might be correct, they may not be shady, they might do it 100 percent correct," he said. "But you're talking about, I beat GSP that's millions of dollars. If I do this drug test, and they do do something to where I don't get it, now it might cost me millions of dollars, I'm not willing to risk that for GSP just to sit here and push VADA."
A conference call was recently held in which representatives from both camps, along with the UFC and the Nevada Athletic Commission, attempted to hash out the situation.
"There's some suspect things that have been going on the last three weeks, first off," Hendricks said. "My manager, his management group and the UFC and the Nevada commission, they got on the phone and they talked an hour or so. I wasn't on the conference call. We said yeah, we'll test for anything, but we don't know how deep and we don't still know if GSP is in with VADA."
According to Hendricks, who was not on the conference call, his camp offered to do testing through the World Anti-Doping Agency, the International Olympic Committee-affiliated testing agency.
"Once we found out it was a little suspect, we said, let's still do the drug testing, but let's take it a step further," he said. "Let's go to WADA, the world Olympic testing. The Nevada commission, they picked WADA, they had nothing but good things to say. ... We wanted to do WADA. When the UFC said let's do WADA, I was 100 percent ready for that."
It started to get a little personal for Hendricks when St-Pierre decided to proceed with VADA testing without Hendricks' involvement.
"Then all of a sudden a week later after the conference call, I didn't know GSP was going to be doing a drug test, then it comes out that 'Johny denied it,'" he said. "I said hey, you didn't even tell me you were going to do VADA. The last I heard from my management and the UFC was WADA. Then GSP just went and did VADA on his own and threw me under the bus to clear his name."
Hendricks was asked if GSP's overtures to test through VADA was an attempt at playing head games.
"I really believe he has a reason to be scared," the former NCAA champion wrestler said. "I think I can beat GSP. I believe it. There's a part of me, I believe 100 percent I can beat GSP. Is that why he's doing it? Is he playing head games to try to distract me? I don't know. I don't know GSP. There's a lot of ways that this can play and I'm just not buying it.
"I know I'm not taking anything," Hendricks continued. "I know I'm clean. I can pass any drug test given to me at any point at any time. It's just that I don't like that somebody has a foot in the door [with VADA]. That's my biggest concern. There's certain things going around, that affects what's going to happen. It doesn't affect me. I know I'm never going to fail a drug test. I haven't yet and I know I'm not going to. If I need drugs to help me when then I don't want to do it."
Firas Zahabi @Firas_Zahabi
@RD_Bruiser Just for the record our camp does not have a "close relationship" with Vada. Let's do every test under the sun! No math Qs plz
7:14 PM - 7 Sep 2013Liver Kick @LiverKickdotcom
@JasonAmadi why is he so dead set on VADA and VADA only? The whole thing is a horse and pony show so GSP can say "See! Not on PEDs!" anyway
Firas Zahabi @Firas_Zahabi
@LiverKickdotcom @JasonAmadi our side has asked to do both tests. That's should make everyone happy. GSP is 100% drug free.
4:25 PM - 8 Sep 2013Firas Zahabi @Firas_Zahabi
@LiverKickdotcom VADA & NSAC are both good but also have their pros and cons. Let's do both test and make everyone happy. This is the plan.

It's like if Hendricks were bad at analogies and then a guy came up to him at a gas station and asked for a cheeseburger but I missed the bus to school today."That's like if you're trying out for a job, and a guy says, hey, we're both trying out for the same job, you both gotta sign up for a drug test," Hendricks said. "And he says 'hey I've got a really good guy that you can drug test over here.' Are you going to take that drug test over here with someone that he knows, or are you going to get someone you don't know, so that way it's on equal grounds?"
I doubt they go through with both. But if they do, Gsp better start cycling off quick lol.
With all the people on here talking about what an A class fair non doping great for the sport athlete gsp is... All I can picture is his corner slathering Vaseline on his back and pouring water on it during the bj penn fight... That's the first thing I see in my head when people talk about his class. But I've never been a fan so maybe I'm off base and cheating is ok every now and again. Lol
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Fact is, GSP's corner was caught doing something they should not have been doing.
Along those lines of reasoning... It doesnt matter if a fighter is on PED's, if they lose the fight.
If someone did the same thing Georges did and beat Anderson, people would go crazy.
If someone did the same thing Georges did and beat Jones, people would go crazy.
If Hendricks does the same thing Georges did and he beats Georges, people will go crazy.
Because people are assholes, and assholes need an excuse to go crazy.
It won't really matter if Hendricks beats Georges, anyway. Because idiots are immediately going to dismiss it as a fluke.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Science Matters
The BP Oil Spill: Responsive Science Supports Emergency Response
EPA scientists provided key support for the federal response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
In April 2010, the offshore mobile drilling unit Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico caught fire and collapsed, killing 11 crew members and injuring 17 others. As the platform sank to the ocean floor, the untapped well began to spew millions of gallons of crude oil directly into the Gulf.
Within days, it became clear that a massive response was needed to meet the challenges brought on by the unfolding crisis.
President Barack Obama declared "my administration will continue to use every single available resource at our disposal" to address the incident and help the Gulf and local communities facing what would turn out to be the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
The expertise of EPA scientists was among the first of those federal resources to join the effort. The EPA provided full support to the U.S. Coast Guard, the lead for coordinating response, containment, and remediation activities.
Cleanup and mitigation activities were immediately aimed at minimizing known threats to coastal wetlands, wildlife, fisheries, and other environmental resources. Such activities included booming and skimming operations, burning surface oil, and applying dispersants to break up oil, both on the surface and in the deep waters where the oil was flowing.
Dispersants have properties that break down oil, helping to prevent thick, sticky crude from fouling beaches, coating seabirds and other aquatic wildlife, or reaching ecologically sensitive coastal wetlands. Breaking the oil down into smaller droplets also promotes natural biodegradation by tiny, oil-consuming marine microbes.
But the use of dispersants in the Gulf garnered considerable public debate. Concerns primarily centered around unknowns about the toxicity of dispersants for people and aquatic organisms, especially considering the massive quantities that were called for in the Gulf of Mexico.
In the midst of the ongoing Gulf crisis, EPA scientists were called on to provide key scientific information to help inform decisions about the use of dispersants.
ToxCast Delivers
Thanks to EPA's ToxCastTM program, dispersant toxicity testing during the Gulf Oil crisis included the use of automated, high-throughput screening assays that allowed researchers to quickly test complex chemical mixtures.
Launched in 2007, ToxCast involves the use of innovative computational technology methods to development fast and efficient ways to advance toxicology research.
"The in vitro tests used in this study rapidly profiled the complex dispersant formulations without the use of animals, and screened for potential endocrine activity, other end points, and cytotoxicity. In different circumstances, a similar rapid screening effort could be used to make time-sensitive decisions based on potential hazard and risk," concluded EPA scientists in the scientific journal Environmental Science & Technology.
(Citation: Analysis of Eight Oil Spill Dispersants Using Rapid, In Vitro Tests for Endocrine and Other Biological Activity; Richard S. Judson, Matthew T. Martin, David M. Reif, Keith A. Houck, Thomas B. Knudsen, Daniel M. Rotroff, Menghang Xia, Srilatha Sakamuru, Ruili Huang, Paul Shinn, Christopher P. Austin, Robert J. Kavlock, and David J. Dix. Environmental Science & Technology: 2010 44 (15), 5979-5985)
EPA scientists conducted a series of tests on eight commercial dispersants, including Corexit 9500, BP's dispersant of choice for cleanup operations.
The first phase of EPA's testing focused on assessing the acute toxicity of dispersants alone (not mixed with oil). Tests were conducted on larval stages of two aquatic species representative of organisms found in the Gulf of Mexico: mysid shrimp (Americamysis bahia) and inland silverside fish (Menidia beryllina).
Additionally, more than 80 in vitro tests from EPA's computational toxicology and endocrine disruptor research programs were used to rapidly screen the dispersants for endocrine activity and cytotoxicity (cell death). This work was conducted under the Agency's collaborative ToxCast program, which taps innovative technologies—including automated, high-throughput screen techniques—to conduct fast, efficient assay and screening tests.
Results from the first phase of testing, released June 30, 2010, indicated that all eight dispersants had roughly the same toxicity, and all fell into the "practically non-toxic" or "slightly toxic" category. Scientists found that none of the eight dispersants displayed endocrine-disrupting activity of "biological significance."
During a second phase of testing, researchers assessed the acute toxicity of multiple concentrations of Louisiana Sweet Crude (LSC) oil alone and in combination with each of the eight dispersants. Results, released on August 2, 2010, indicated that the toxicities of the eight dispersants mixed with oil were roughly similar to one another. Of particular interest to clean up operations, was the conclusion that dispersant-oil mixtures were generally no more toxic to the aquatic test species than oil alone.
The entire process from the initial request to test dispersants to the full report on the dispersants' toxicity took six weeks. This meant that ongoing decisions and activities in the Gulf could be based on science and robust toxicity testing.
Making decisions during a crisis is always a challenge, but EPA's research provided response operations with the scientific information needed to make tough calls about the use of dispersants.

The part I'm especially excited about is that the Preeclampsia Foundation is leading a grassroots effort to get May officially recognized as Preeclampsia Awareness Month
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/pree ... nessmonth/
The Preeclampsia Foundation needs your support! We are working to secure at least 2,500 signatures by December 31, 2011 in support of designating May as "Preeclampsia Awareness Month†on the National Health Observances Calendar. Thirteen states and cities have already officially recognized the month, and a national proclamation will allow the Foundation to further expand awareness, distribute educational information and enhance both patient and provider literacy about preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
Please sign our petition to demonstrate to Congress the large amount of interest and support there is for this cause.
WHEREAS, Preeclampsia, including HELLP syndrome and eclampsia, is a dangerous condition of pregnancy that can, in its severest form, lead to maternal and/or infant mortality or premature birth with significant health risks for the mother and baby, and
WHEREAS, As many as 320,000 cases of preeclampsia are diagnosed in America every year with approximately 25% resulting in severe, life-threatening consequences to a pregnant woman and her baby, and
WHEREAS, Public education as to the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome and eclampsia can help women recognize the condition and seek appropriate medical care, and
WHEREAS, Prenatal education should include recognition of those signs and symptoms (spikes in maternal blood pressure, sudden swelling of face and hands, severe upper abdominal pain, blurred vision, persistent headaches, breathlessness),
THEREFORE, We wish to declare May as Preeclampsia Awareness Month in support of the Preeclampsia Foundation's efforts to reduce maternal and infant illness and mortality due to preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
We, the Undersigned, are declaring "Hear Us Now!" as we petition for preeclampsia's inclusion on the National Health Observances Calendar.

An event held recently in Colorado should be of particular interest here in the heart of Central Appalachia.
Last week, the National Press Foundation hosted 16 journalists from around the country, including a representative of The Floyd County Times, for a four-day conference about obesity, including its causes, problems and potential solutions. The conference included presentations from some of the nation's foremost experts on the condition.
While the information provided was voluminous, much of the root cause for the rise in obesity rates can be boiled down to two things: As a society, we're eating far too many calories, and we're getting far too little exercise.
And while obesity is a nationwide problem, it is particularly dire in Appalachia. In 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studied obesity rates in every county in the United States and found the highest rates in Appalachia and the South. In Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee, 81 percent of counties had obesity rates higher than 30.9 percent.
In Floyd County, that percentage of residents who are considered obese is 37 percent. Note that this particular statistic does not include people who are a few pounds overweight, but those who are obese, meaning they have a body-mass index of 30 or higher. If you add in the people who have packed on extra pounds but haven't yet crossed that magic figure, the number would likely double.
The obvious question that comes to mind is, "Why?" Perhaps it could be that 41 percent of people over age 20 report engaging in no leisure time physical activity, nearly twice the national rate. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that 66 percent of restaurants in the county exclusively serve high-fat, low-nutrition fast food, compared to a nationwide average of 27 percent. Maybe the combination of a poverty rate 68.75 percent higher than the national average with the fact that the cheapest foods typically have the most calories and fat plays a role. In all likelihood, all of the above, plus some additional factors, are to blame.
What is known is that the problem is taking a severe toll. A baby born in Floyd County today can expect to live a shorter life than its parents. Over the past 10 years, Floyd County has had the 10th highest drop in male life expectancy, among all counties in the country. Each year, county residents die having missed out on a combined 5,636 years of potential life. And in March, we learned that Floyd County ranks dead last among 120 counties in Kentucky, which itself is one of the least healthy states in the nation.
On the bright side, it appears that the avalanche of bad health news is finally getting some attention, and local officials and health care organizations are showing new resolve to get Floyd County on the path to better health.
But it is going to take more than just government and medicine to solve the problem. Of course, those who are overweight or obese need to make a commitment to better their health. However, schools and businesses can aid in the effort by giving students and employees incentives and opportunities to live healthier. After all, schools and businesses already have incentive to make such allowances, because studies show that students do better on standardized tests and employees are more productive when they are in better physical health.
Floyd County and the rest of Appalachia do not have to allow health problems to conquer us, as they seem poised to do if we do not act upon them. We can become a healthier community, and we will live happier lives as a result.
— The Floyd County Times

Rosa Maria Rosado , 37 , a single mother, was found dead in shallow grave near UTSA on April 5, 2001.

This is a portrait of Sarah Beth Gonzales who was 13 when she was kidnapped, raped and killed along with her cousin Priscilla Almares, then 12 in 1994. The man responsible for the crimes, Ramon Hernandez, is scheduled to be executed on November 14, 2012. Hernandez is being executed for a different crime, though. That crime was the rape and murder of Rosa Maria Rosado,37, a single mom who was found in a shallow grave in 2001.
More Information
Death row
HUNTSVILLE — Looking at his brother, the only member of his family to witness his execution Wednesday, Ramon Hernandez asked him to tell everyone he loved them.
"Did I ever tell you, you have dad's eyes?" Hernandez said to his brother.
His brother, standing close to the glass and crying said: "I love you."
Hernandez, called a serial rapist and murderer by prosecutors, was pronounced dead at 6:38 p.m., 26 minutes after the lethal dose of drugs began flowing.
A jury sentenced Hernandez to death for the 2001 abduction, rape and strangulation slaying of Rosa Maria Rosado, 37, a single mom who was snatched from a West Side bus stop.
Hernandez's girlfriend at the time, Asel Abdygapparova, led police to Rosado's body five days later. She had been buried in a shallow grave by Loop 1604 and UTSA Boulevard.
Abdygapparova was given life in prison, and a third co-defendant, Santos Minjarez, was given the death penalty. He died in January from natural causes before his execution date was set.
Abdygapparova's sentence was overturned in 2007 and she remains in Bexar County Jail, awaiting a new trial.
During the investigation into Rosado's homicide, authorities linked Hernandez through DNA to another high-profile case from the mid-1990s.
In that case, Sarah Gonzales, 13, and her cousin Priscilla Almares, 12, were reported missing Dec. 16, 1994, then found the next day in Rodriguez Park. They had been raped, beaten and strangled.
Family members of Priscilla and Rosado also witnessed the execution. Standing up to the glass, Priscilla's sister Brenda Ayala had tears in her eyes as Hernandez spoke his last words.
He was strapped to the gurney just after 6 p.m. and began his last statement at 6:11 p.m.
"I'm sorry for putting you through all of this ...," he said, looking at his brother. "I am very sorry for all of the pain. I love them all, tell mom, everybody."
After Hernandez appeared to stop breathing, his brother had to turn away for several minutes. He was supported by three spiritual advisers.
Ayala spoke after the execution and said she had hoped Hernandez would have apologized directly to the families of his victims but instead focused on just his brother.
Ayala, sitting with her father Marcos Almares, said the family didn't find closure in the execution.
"We're not cruel people; we don't want to have to watch somebody die," she said. "It doesn't give us happiness at all. If anything I felt sorrow for his family. They'll have to feel what we felt."
Rosado's family — her two sisters and a brother-in-law — didn't speak to the media.
Attempts to reach Hernandez's family weren't successful.
Hernandez's was the first of two executions scheduled this week — Preston Hughes, 46, of Harris County faces injection today.

A Texas A&M University employee is facing charges of theft after being caught stealing gas for a friend.
62-year-old Ernesto Gonzales allegedly stole $400 in gasoline from the Texas A&M University Department of Electrical Distribution over the last month.
On March 3, Texas A&M University Police say they received an anonymous tip that said a university truck was seen at a car wash in Bryan, passing off cans of gasoline.
Investigators staked out the car wash at Finfeather and Yeagua on March 13th. They saw red GMC truck pull into one of the bays and wait. Moments later, Gonzales pulled into the lot in a Texas A&M University truck.
According to the arrest report, Officers moved in and questioned Gonzales and the driver of the other truck. Gonzales told University police that he would fill 3 five gallon gas cans a week and take them to his friend at a car wash off Finfeather. Gonzales had access to the gasoline because he was responsible for taking filling up all the generators on campus.
