Officers were summoned to the 100 block of West Shoreway Drive for dispute between neighbors.
The incident quickly escalated when several underage people allegedly consumed alcohol — and one person claimed someone had been raped.
When police checked for underage people and searched for a possible rape victim and suspect, one officer noticed a 17-year-old boy in a back bedroom. The officer told the boy he was under arrest, but the boy didn't comply.
The boy became combative, swinging his fists and striking Officer Michael Schock in the face, according to a police report. Schock then sprayed the boy in the eyes to distract him. Officers used "reasonable force" to restrain the boy.
In addition to the assault on a police officer charge, officers also arrested the boy for underage consumption and resisting arrest.
An officer later found the alleged rape victim, but she denied any improper sexual activity.
Two other people also received charges for underage consumption. They were Christian C. Ewers, 18, 100 block W. Shoreway Drive; and Peter M. Fortner, 18, 2600 block Tiffin Ave.

At the launch party for Dollaz Unlimited Models, Rich shows up with Jessica and — how could this possibly go wrong? — Erica is also there. She saw that the party was happening through Rich's Instagram, and she also noticed he "conveniently left [her] off the guest list." So of course she shows up. "So I walk into this party and I see this call girl rubbing up on him," she begins. "I mean, come on Rich, do you really have to find bitches in lost dog ads to get laid?"
Rich and Jessica are sitting with each other and Erica approaches and after a few subliminal and not so subliminal jabs between Erica and Jessica, Erica walks away and Rich follows her. "Even if she got her weave done, her teeth fixed, and traded her Payless shoes for red bottoms, she still couldn't be half the bitch that I am," Erica says. "Stop fooling yourself and get back down on your knees, bitch." Erica tells Rich to teach Jessica how to play her position as his #2 woman and "respect the breadwinner," and when Jessica shows up and gets lippy with Erica, that drink manages to find its way from Erica's hand to Jessica's general direction.

Description And Comments
Totally enclosed in a mammoth futuristic structure, Space Mountain has always been the Magic Kingdom's most popular attraction. The theme is a space flight through dark recesses of the galaxy. Effects are superb, and the ride is the fastest and wildest in the Magic Kingdom. As a roller coaster, Space Mountain is much zippier than Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but much tamer than the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios or Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
As a headliner attraction, Space Mountain goes through regular refurbishments to add effects and maintain ride quality. Past improvements include new lighting and effects, an improved sound system and soundtrack, and interactive games in the queue to help pass the time in line. Roller-coaster aficionados will tell you (correctly) that Space Mountain is a designer version of the Wild Mouse, a midway ride that's been around for almost 60 years. There are no long drops or swooping hills as there are on a traditional roller coaster—only quick, unexpected turns and small drops. Disney's contribution essentially was to add a space theme to the Wild Mouse and put it in the dark. And this does indeed make the Mouse seem wilder.
A family of five from Laramie, Wyoming, has this to say:
The refurbished Space Mountain is fantastic! The cars are much more comfortable, and they've added video-game entertainment near the end of the tunnel portion of the wait.
A Texas mother of two advises working up to Space Mountain:
You might want to start all children off on Goofy's Barnstormer, then work up to Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. We tried Space Mountain first because there was no line, and it ruined the boys for the rest of the trip.
And an Elburn, Illinois, reader recommends special equipment:
They should require you to wear a neck brace on Space Mountain. That ride is painful.
Touring Tips
- This attraction offers FastPass+.
- Open for Morning Extra Magic Hour.
- Open for Evening Extra Magic Hours.
People who can handle a fairly wild roller-coaster ride will take Space Mountain in stride. What sets Space Mountain apart is that cars plummet through darkness, with only occasional lighting. Half the fun of Space Mountain is not knowing where the car will go next.
Space Mountain is the favorite attraction of many Magic Kingdom visitors ages 7-60. Each morning before opening, particularly during summer and holiday periods, several hundred Space Mountain "junkies" crowd the rope barriers at the Central Plaza, awaiting the signal to head to the ride's entrance. To get ahead of the competition, be one of the first in the park. Proceed to the end of Main Street and wait at the entrance to Tomorrowland.
Seats are one behind another, as opposed to side by side. Parents whose children meet the height and age requirements for Space Mountain can't sit next to their kids.
If you don't catch Space Mountain first in the morning, use FastPass+ or try again during the hour before closing. Often, would-be riders are held in line outside the entrance until all those previously in line have ridden, thus emptying the attraction. The appearance from the outside is that the line is enormous when, in fact, the only people waiting are those visible. This crowd-control technique, known as "stacking," discourages visitors from getting in line. Stacking is used at several Disney rides and attractions during the hour before closing to ensure that the ride will be able to close on schedule. It is also used to keep the number of people who are waiting inside from overwhelming the air-conditioning. Despite the apparently long line, the wait is usually no longer than if you had been allowed to queue inside.
Space Mountain Wait Times
This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for Space Mountain when you visit on a day with a given Magic Kingdom Crowd Level. The blue bars represent the average "peak" wait time (that is, how long the line will at its busiest). The bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect (for you fellow nerds out there: it's the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times). Please note that these are estimates, and for a better forecast for your travel dates, see Space Mountain Wait Times.

SEIU member Carmen Morales-Board [right] and other dedicated SEIU nurses nationwide will bring information about the new Affordable Care Act straight to patients inside their hospitals.
The thousands of school workers in the Los Angeles area who are members of SEIU Local 99 experience first-hand the impact a lack of health care has on students' school performance and the well-being of their families.
That's why this fall, as the Affordable Care Act's open enrollment for new affordable health care plans kicks into high gear, SEIU members and staff in California will be on the front lines of helping people signup for them. As a result, many of these Californians will have health insurance for the first time in their lives.
Come October 1st, millions of uninsured, hardworking Californians who don't get insurance through their employers and can't afford it on their own will be able to sign up to buy lower-cost healthcare coverage through new health marketplaces.
But they won't benefit from the new plans if they don't know about them.
In order for working men and women to have access to the same quality care that wealthy Americans do, they need to know the facts about their protections, benefits and choices under the healthcare law. SEIU California's members and staff will inform them about their choices and how the process works.
In Southern California, staff and members of SEIU Local 99 work with children from the Los Angeles Unified School District, which serves a high population of poor and disadvantaged students. In fact, approximately 10 percent of the country's uninsured citizens live in just four counties, Los Angeles County being one of them, according to data from Enroll America.
Local 99 Executive Director Courtni Pugh will lead state-trained staff in efforts to reach out to more than 15,000 school employees, parents and child care providers to inform them about how to now get the health insurance they've long needed.
"SEIU members see children fall behind in school simply because they can't get prescription eye glasses," said Pugh. "Other children end up missing weeks or months of school due to sickness that could have been treated at the start had they been able to see a doctor. Now that these new care options are here we need to get them into the hands of parents so students can benefit. "
In Northern California, members of Local 521 work in the healthcare field and see other devastating effects that a lack of health coverage has on people in their communities.
Registered nurse Carmen Morales-Board works at the Kern Medical Center in the Central Valley. She and a team of fellow nurses will be attending trainings on the new health insurance plans, and will then be able to talk to patients directly about their options. She also knows first-hand the life-saving and financial value that preventative care has on patients.
"I've seen the faces behind the academic studies on the value of preventative care," she said. "For every one dollar we spend on preventative care we save more than $5 in the long run. In fact I just saw a man with a clearly visible, grapefruit-sized tumor we had to remove. It's cancerous and has spread to his entire body. If he had access to early care, his tumor would have been spotted easily by a doctor and his life likely would have been saved. "
Passing the Affordable Care Act was a tremendous achievement and a moment of pride for SEIU members back in 2010. As additional states begin to join the movement in earnest, we hope SEIU locals and members will follow California's lead in informing as many working families as possible about the choices for affordable health insurance available under the new law.
In all states, we will deliver the message that we will not leave working Americans behind when it comes to access to affordable health coverage. We will not allow the Act's opponents to move this country backward and put our health and security at risk.
Lives hang in the balance. It's going to take all of us-union members, hospital leaders, public workers, healthcare provides, faith leaders and elected officials-to make sure working families live healthier, more financially secure lives.

The former Ajax man had also been training with Hull City and Celtic earlier this summer as he looked to secure a deal, but work permit issues stood in the way of him landing a contract at either club.
Claasen has since joined Polish side Lech Poznan and Blackpool secretary Matt Williams explained that a move to England would have been complicated for the 23-year old.
"We made him a very decent offer, subject to him gaining a work permit, but he didn't accept," Williams told The Blackpool Gazette.
"We'd only seen him play 20 minutes against Newcastle and in a training match at Preston, so we weren't prepared to go any higher. We wanted another look at him against Bury on Tuesday but he didn't want to play.
"There were no guarantees he would be able to get a work permit and that was reflected in the offer we made him.
"As Hull also found out, this would be a very difficult process, so we shook hands and wished him well for the future."

NEW YORK—Just nine days after Superstorm Sandy hit, the city faces more hazardous weather with the season's first nor'easter expected to hit the area Wednesday, bringing high winds and a mix of wet snow and rain.
The National Weather Service issued a high winds watch and a coastal flood watch from Wednesday morning through late Wednesday night.
"Keep in mind these are forecasts, and as we know forecasts change as you get closer to the event," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg in an update Tuesday from City Hall.
Storm surges of 2 feet to 4.5 feet are expected. Bloomberg said there will be no mandatory evacuations but some particularly low-lying areas will likely flood.
Temperatures are projected to drop down into the 20s and 30s at night.
The storm comes a little more than a week after Hurricane Sandy ravaged much of the city's southern coastal areas. Recovery efforts there are still underway.
An inch of rainfall Wednesday could mix with sleet. "We could have some snow on the ground and certainly some snow on the trees," said Bloomberg. "That makes trees that already have their base flooded more likely to fall over, and that's something we're really going to worry about."
More than 200 warming centers are open around the city. The elderly and those with young children are encouraged to take advantage of them. The state has pre-placed search and rescue teams in areas already affected and most prone to impact, according to Howard Glaser, director of state operations.
Meanwhile, 91,000 people were still without power across the city as of 11 a.m. Tuesday, down from 115,000 a day before.
Bloomberg said for about 35 percent of the 91,000, "The problems are with the buildings they're in, not with the utility company."
"So even if power comes back to the area where your building is, work will have to be done in these buildings before the lights go on," he added.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a separate press conference that 350,000 New Yorkers statewide are still without power.
"We're going to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week until it's restored," said Cuomo, who added he's not pleased with the preparation and response from utility providers, which include Con Edison and the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA).
Con Edison said in its own storm update that thousands of outside workers—coming from as far away as California—are working with Con Edison crews around the clock to restore power. The utility company is also preparing for the new storm.
"The coming storm is expected to pack rain and heavy winds," Con Edison states in an online release. "Those winds could topple trees into overhead power lines, causing customers to lose electricity. The conditions could also cause a delay in the utility's restoration of customers out of service due to Hurricane Sandy."
LIPA said on its website that it has restored power to more than 700,000 customers as of late Monday, and it is focusing on areas where it can restore power to the most customers.
Gas shortages persist. Cuomo said "panic buying has compounded the problem," referring to people who usually drive around on half a tank now going to a gas station much quicker. Bloomberg echoed Cuomo's sentiments, adding that the city is investigating the situation.
The impact of Superstorm Sandy is still being felt in New York City. The mayor said they're working on getting electricity and heat for public housing buildings—affecting about 20,000 people—and getting electricity again to other housing as soon as possible, before looking for alternative housing.
Also, the list of 57 schools that had so much structural damage that they aren't opening on Wednesday has been reduced to 47, according to the mayor.
And the city is working on collecting all the clothing donated around the city that is outside at different cleanup sites and delivering it to Salvation Army locations near affected areas, partly because the new storm would get all the clothes wet.
It's also a balancing process. "Some places we have too much and some places we have too little," said Bloomberg. He said donations are being accepted and the best donations are cash (to the Mayor's Fund for New York City) "because we can buy people the things we need."

This is a good unit. I have used one of these for about three years and shot about 15 -20 gallons of finish through it. My only complaint is that the gun in cheap and bends causing a poor seal and leaking when the gun in pointed straight down over a pice.
Bottom line if your willing to work a little more with this machine it can delever quality work.

5 Travel Tips For Men
Traveling can be difficult. Layovers, postponed flights, and baggage claim mishaps create problems on almost every trip. A well dressed gentleman has even more to consider when traveling, as numerous bags may be required. However, some planning and the right luggage will help ensure a smooth journey. For the gentleman on-the-go we've listed five tips to help you travel.
Writing It Down
A few minutes of preparation will go a long way. Making a list of all the items necessary for your trip will help you organize your thoughts and avoid clutter. Often forgotten are small toiletry items. A Hanging Toiletry Kit helps you organize these items and is small enough to be packed into another suitcase. Create a checklist and you can save time, space and money.
Know The Carry-on Rules
Airlines have different standards for the permitted size of carry-on luggage. Check with your airline to determine their respective regulations. One constant is the 40 lbs weight limit for carry-on luggage. Our 21" Rolling Suiter only weights 9.5 pounds and is TSA approved to use in overhead compartments. This allows you to stow away your luggage quickly and efficiently. A quality your fellow travelers will admire. For the lighter traveler, our Rolling Briefcase features an inset removable laptop case and folds flat for ease through airport check points.
Traveling involves a lot of forms, passes and other documents. Our Travel Organizer keeps passports, airline tickets, credit cards and other travel essentials handy in one place. Store it in one of our Suiters before you place it in the overhead compartment for optimal efficiency.
Suited For Travel
Many gentlemen will need their suit(s) ready to wear when they arrive at their destination. For these occasions we recommend our Rolling Garment Bag. Store all your apparel in this large, yet lightweight piece of luggage. If you are traveling light, but still wish to pack a suit, a smaller item such as our Suiter Travel Bag will help you keep your clothes presentable during the trip.
Men Of The World
International travelers know that organization is the key to surviving long trips. Traveler checks, credit cards and different forms of currency are a lot to juggle. The Leather Checkbook Organizer stylishly maintains all your essentials and is small enough to replace a traditional wallet when traveling.
Looking for more ways to simplify travel? Be sure to review our new Traveler Luggage Collection. All items feature a lightweight design, durable ballistic material and a 5-year limited warranty.

This hotel has undergone significant renovations since our visit.
We will update our photos and review as soon as we can.
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A landmark hotel with an incredible history, the Willard Intercontinental's extravagant lobby and excellent service outshine its bland rooms.
A hotel has been in this location since 1816; the Willard Intercontinental first gained fame in 1850, when brothers Joseph and Henry bought the property, put their last name on the sign, and promptly hosted President Zachary Taylor. Abraham Lincoln stayed for the 10 days leading up to his inauguration. After the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant met with political operatives in the hotel's lobby, doing deals with men who came to be known as "lobbyists." In 1901, the hotel expanded into its current 12-story form. In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. composed a draft of his "I Have a Dream" speech while a guest at the hotel. The Willard Intercontinental continues to host presidents, diplomats, and D.C. power players thanks to its location just two blocks from the White House and the National Mall.
Indeed, the hotel's opulent lobby is a good place to spot the kinds of people that pass for celebrities in D.C.; I caught a glimpse of New York Times columnist and The World Is Flat author Thomas Friedman during my stay. Cutting through the hotel's ground floor, linking the main Pennsylvania Avenue entrance to F Street is Peacock Alley, a red-carpeted hallway lined with sofas and flanked by meeting rooms, including the space that was, until early 2009, the Willard Room restaurant. The dining room has been closed and converted to additional meeting space, but formal afternoon tea is still served on request -- and with much flourish -- in the seats along the hallway. It's a good place for preening.
While public spaces gleam, in part thanks to a 2006 refurbishment, the rooms are bland, with the kind of beige-and-brown color palette you find at cookie-cutter convention hotels like the nearby Marriott Washington Metro Center and Grand Hyatt Washington. However, renovations to all guestrooms are underway, with the first phase of upgrades completed in 2011. Guets can look forward to new everything: carpets, furniture, linens, paint. Gone are the bland beiges of yesteryear; rooms now feature dark wood furniture with gold, green, and red accents.
Rooms are also spacious, starting at a well-laid-out 375 square feet. Marble-trimmed bathrooms are well lit and roomy if not particularly sumptuous. While an in-room coffeemaker is free to use, the hotel charges for Wi-Fi, a needling fee when rooms can go for upwards of $500 a night.
Service throughout is top-notch and professional, and the concierge staff includes members of the professional organization Les Clefs d'Or. Front desk employees address guests by name, and porters offer to help with bags curbside. Restaurant staff at both Cafe du Parc and the Round Robin Bar were appropriately formal but also accommodating.
High-quality, luxury-level service throughout
The front desk staff addresses guests by name both in person and over the phone, and service standards are appropriately high. On arrival, doormen offer to shepherd guests' luggage to their rooms; in my experience, bell services were swift and professional.
In downtown, near the Penn Quarter, just two blocks from the White House and a short walk from the Mall
The InterContinental is in the heart of "old downtown," just a short walk from the White House. Lots of must-see historic sites are within easy walking distance, but while the immediate area around the hotel is bustling with nine-to-fivers during the day, it can border on desolate at night.
At 375 square feet, standard rooms are spacious if bland -- but they're all being renovated.
The Willard isn't a cookie-cutter business hotel, but its rooms certainly have that feel -- for now. What's not beige is dark-stained wood. My Double Superior Room had two double beds with leather-upholstered benches at their feet, a flat-screen TV, a small sitting area with two armchairs, ample closet space, and a well-stocked minibar. Furniture, including a large work desk with two power plugs built in, was in good repair; some splotches on the carpet were the only noticeable defect. However, renovations to all guestrooms are underway, with the first phase of upgrades completed in 2011. Guets can look forward to new everything: carpets, furniture, linens, paint. Gone are the bland beiges of yesteryear; rooms now feature dark wood furniture with gold, green, and red accents.
The large bathroom had a tub-shower combo with a shower curtain rod that curved out to create a little extra space. Along with shampoo, conditioner, soap, and body wash from Floris, the bathroom was also stocked with Scope mouthwash, cotton swabs, a hair dryer, a scale, and two robes.
The hotel's many features include plentiful meeting space, a large fitness center, and a spa.
On the second floor, the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa offers a variety of facials, body treatments, massages, and salon and nail services; it's part of the Red Door Spa chain. A large gym inside the spa is popular with guests. And the hotel's extensive meeting spaces were a constant buzz of activity during my visit; the hotel hosts innumerable events for locals and visiting groups.
Rooms are larger than average and good for families.
The hotel's opulent public spaces and relatively formal dining options may not be appropriate for younger kids, but the teens I saw at Cafe du Parc were enjoying the French-inspired breakfast buffet.
Public spaces and rooms were very well kept.
Except for some splotches on the carpet in my room, everything was spotless, including in the large bathroom. Public spaces sparkled, too.
Food isn't the highlight of the Willard, but the Round Robin Bar is popular.
The Willard Room restaurant closed in early 2009, meaning the only dining options at the hotel are French bistro Cafe du Parc and a small menu of bites at the Round Robin Bar. Adjacent to the hotel (and also built by the founding Willard brothers) is the Occidental Grill & Seafood, which serves steaks and fresh seafood daily for lunch and dinner.
The stately Round Robin Bar has long been popular for cocktails -- it was the first bar in D.C. to serve mint juleps -- and it also has more than 100 labels of Scotch, one of the largest selections in the city. The suit-heavy crowd matches perfectly with the setting -- all green felt and dark-wood trim.
It's gorgeous, but expensive, especially considering all the extra fees and requisite minimums set at upwards of $45,000.
A grande dame hotel that's hosted presidents and diplomats since 1901, the 332-room Willard is a D.C. icon dripping with history just two blocks from the White House. The exceptional staff and opulent lobby compensate for rooms that lack the flash of those at the newly renovated W Washington D.C. next door.

WASHINGTON - The sixth-seeded Georgetown University men's soccer team will host the Old Dominion University Monarchs on Sunday in an NCAA Tournament second round game at 1 p.m., at Shaw Field. The Hoyas received the sixth overall seed in the tournament of 48 where the top 16 teams are seeded and receive a first-round bye. This marks the squad's third tournament berth in four seasons.
The Hoyas are 13-4-2 on the season winning a share of the BIG EAST Regular Season Championship for the third time in four years. Georgetown went to the BIG EAST Championship Semifinal at PPL Park where the Hoyas tied fourth-seeded Providence in double overtime, 0-0, but failed to advance in penalty kicks. Along the way, the Hoyas have had impressive milestones including setting the new program record for season shutouts with 13. Additionally, junior goalkeeper Tomas Gomez (Webster Groves, Mo/Webster Groves) set the record for career shutouts (25) and season shutouts (11).
The Blue & Gray has been in the national polls for the entire season. Last week, the team was No. 7 in the NSCAA poll, No. 4 in TopDrawerSoccer.com's poll and No. 7 in the NCAA's last RPI.
The Hoyas have received a number of accolades this season with the squad earned four of the BIG EAST's top awards. Senior forward Steve Neumann (New Hope, Pa./Council Rock North) was named the Offensive Player of the Year, senior midfielder Joey Dillon (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester Adams) was the co-Midfielder of the Year and Gomez was named the co-Goalkeeper of the Year. Additionally, Head Coach Brian Wiese and his staff were named the conference's Coaching Staff of the Year.
Neumann, Dillon and Gomez, along with sophomore forward Brandon Allen (Old Bridge, N.J./St. Joseph's) all earned First Team All-BIG EAST, while sophomore defender Keegan Rosenberry (Ronks, Pa./Lancaster Mennonite) earned a spot on the second team.
Additionally, midfielder Bakie Goodman (Sarasota, Fla./Pine View School for the Gifted), midfielder Alex Muyl (New York, N.Y./Bard) and defender Joshua Yaro (Santa Barbara, Calif./Cate School) were all placed on the BIG EAST All-Rookie Squad.
Georgetown's NCAA Tournament berth is the third under Wiese. The Hoyas have been to the tournament on four previous occasions. Last season, the squad was the national runner up falling to Indiana, 1-0, in the national championship game. Prior to last year, the program had never moved beyond the second round of the tournament with previous appearances in 1997 and 1994. The Hoyas are 4-3-3 overall in the NCAA Tournament.
Neumann leads the team in scoring with 26 points on 10 goals and six assists. Allen is second with 11 goals and three assists for 25 points, while Muyl has three goals and a team-high nine assists for 15 points.
Gomez has a record 11 shutouts on the season, while the Hoyas have a program-record 13 overall. The junior has tallied 59 saves so far this year.
ODU advanced to the next round with a 5-1 victory over CAA champion Drexel Thursday night. The Monarchs have reached the NCAA tournament four straight years and 10 of the last 12 under head coach Alan Dawson. This is the eighth trip to the second round.
Old Dominion senior forward Tim Hopkinson, the C-USA Offensive Player of the Year leads the league in both total goals with 12 and total points with 28. He currently ranks 11th national in total goals and 15th nationally in total points. Hopkinson is ODU's fourth all-time leader in career goals with 33 and third all-time scorer with 87 career points.
Additionally, three Monarchs earned C-USA All-Conference honors this season. Senior co-captains Tim Hopkinson and Jason Gaylord were named first team and senior goalkeeper Sean Stowe was selected to the second team. Freshmen Jesse Miralrio and Cole Stringer were named to the All-Rookie team.
Georgetown is 1-3 all-time against the Monarchs. The Hoyas are 1-2 at home including a 3-2 victory in 1998. The last meeting was in the District of Colombia in 2001 where the Monarchs came out on top, 2-1. They have never met in the postseason, although the teams did see each other in an exhibition game earlier this season.
Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Shaw Field. Live stats and a free webcast featuring Dan Helfrich and Tom Greaser will be available at www.GUHoyas.com. Tickets can be purchased at the gate for $5.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a 41-year-old doctor, is the son of the legendary Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad, who negotiated with five American presidents.
Many in diplomatic circles believe that this quiet man may be the best hope for the United States to broker peace with insurgents in the Middle East.
In a significant moment, Assad told ABC News' Diane Sawyer that he was ready to talk to the United States, but that it must be in public -- and that because the situation was so dire, the time to talk was now.
So far, the administration has refused to engage in talks with Syria.
Below is the transcript of Sawyer's exclusive interview with Assad.
Watch "Good Morning America" Tuesday for more of Diane Sawyer's report from Syria.
Sawyer: Your excellency, thank you so much for letting us come.
Assad: You're most welcome Miss Sawyer here.
Sawyer: There are a chorus of voices in the United States saying that talking to Syria is the way to end the war in Iraq. Can you stop the violence in Iraq?
Assad: First of all, the problem in Iraq is political, and talking to Syria as a concept means talking to all the other parties inside Iraq and outside Iraq. We're not the only player. We're not the single player, but we are the main player in this issue, and our role is going to be through supporting the dialogue between the different parties inside Iraq with the support from the other parties like the Americans and the other neighboring countries and any other country in the world. So that's how we can stop the violence.
Sawyer: Are you waiting to hear from the Americans? Why not begin it now?
Assad: We are hearing, but we don't expect that much. We don't expect that they're going to. After nearly four years of occupation they haven't learned their lesson, they haven't stopped the dialogue. I think it's too late for them to move toward that.
Sawyer: Too late?
Assad: That does not mean we cannot turn the tide, but it's too late because Iraq is heading toward the chaos for civil war. So maybe this is the last chance that we have now to start helping Iraq.
Sawyer: The Americans, of course, would say that they are not the occupying force, that they are in fact a force trying to regain security so that American forces can go home.
Assad: Militarily, yes. But politically, no, because they are responsible for the political situation and they haven't embarked any policy inside Iraq here. They only talk about sending more troops or less troops. They only talk about troops and power, not about political process.
Sawyer: Because Americans would say they voted, they now have the beginning of democracy there.
Assad: What's the benefit of democracy if you're dead? Now after the war, more than 700,000 Iraqis were killed. So is it democracy for killing or for having better standard of life? For starvation? For insecurity? For all this? So democracy is a tool to have a better life.
Sawyer: What would happen? Then talks take place.
Assad: Yeah.
Sawyer: You, Iran, the neighboring countries?
Assad: Yeah.
Sawyer: So the influence of the neighboring countries can create a cease-fire?
Assad: Yes, this is something mainly that they don't understand. It doesn't matter how strong economically or what army you have, it's a matter of credibility. We have credibility. We have good relations with the other factions. They should trust you to be able to play a role.

The years of hard work and improvement may be about to pay off for fifth-year senior Jake Fagnano in the form of increased playing time. The former Williamsport Area High School standout will be among the top candidates to earn a starting safety spot in preseason camp. Fagnano garnered significant repetitions during spring drills and the hard-hitting and instinctive player has put himself into a good position entering preseason camp. An economics major, Fagnano is on schedule to graduate in December. He is among 20 returning Nittany Lions from Central Pennsylvania.

Posted: February 28, 2013

Apparently the old saying is wrong: You can get blood from a stone, after all. In a world where "the American Dream" has become a year in which your salary stays the same, the so-called City of Brotherly Love is on the brink of setting a new standard in squeezing middle-class workers to death. It's not like we haven't seen this story before: Working men and women asked to take a sizable pay cut…and work longer hours…and pay more for shrinking benefits. Usually such reports alternate with the news that the CEO of that same outfit is leaving with a golden parachute worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe millions.
But just when you think it can't get any worse, here come the contract demands that the Philadelphia School District would like to cram down the throat of the city's unionized school teachers. The news — first reported by Kristen Graham of the Inquirer — is a jaw-dropper:
- Large pay cuts imposed in teachers up to 13 percent for those making (a whopping) $55,000 a year or more. then frozen until 2017.
- A sizable jump in out of pocket costs for health coverage.
- In return for this honor, teachers would have to increase their work day from just over 7 hours now to eight hours, and "would also have to lead professional development, attend meetings, perform bus, yard and lunch duty and be available for parent meetings outside work hours with no extra pay."
- There's a lot more, but one of my favorites is that the district would no longer have to provide, among other things, "water fountains, parking facilities, [or] desks for teachers..." (although presumably some teachers would retain these? Who knows?)
- It should be noted that many of these cuts are not so much harmful to the teachers as to the kids — lifting limits on class sizes and not requiring librarians or guidance counselors in every school, for example.
This is outrageous for so many reasons that it's hard to know where to begin. It is worth noting a couple of cavaets. Obviously, this is an opening negotiation gambit and not the final offer; it's hard to imagine that even if the district sought to impose terms on the union (which would surely cause a strike — more on that in a minute) that they could possibly be this draconian. I've heard that some of this may be a spring offensive to get hundreds of teachers to take early retirement — and I'm sure it will work. Those things said, one also senses that the school district — egged on by its high-priced Boston consultants — "means business" this time.
I think there's three levels to look at this. Human nature tends to look at the micro, and people are going to be tempted to point out all the management waste and excess that preceded this — late superintendent Arlene Ackerman's $900,000 severance check and her cadre of overpriced spin doctors and how Ackerman's replacement William Hite came in and gave pay raises — to 25 non-union employees. (Just the first three that popped into my head, frankly.) But this goes so much deeper.
On what you might call the middle-macro level, this would appear to be the final offensive by a grand alliance ofhedge-funders, libertarians and assorted right-wingers, the purely profit-minded and misguided philanthropiesand their well-heeled consultants to destroy public education in Philadelphia, once a font of opportunity for children from every social class. Again, just to pick off the low-hanging fruit, it's unconscionable to seek to destroy the lives of hard-working teachers when we have a local charter school operator building a $28.9 million mansion in Palm Beach and when Pennsylvania continues to throw away millions of dollars on shady cyber-schools.
But look, the real outrage here is on the macro-macro level. Do we really live in a nation where millions obsess over the "freedom and liberty" of CEOs to make 380 times as much as his average worker or not to provide those employees with health insurance, but no one gets worked up when the people teaching our children are nickled and dimed out of their jobs? Where it's an act of political derring-do to suggest that just maybe workers should get a minimum wage of $9 an hour? Where there's not any problem that can't be solved by asking rank-and-file workers to take a few dollars less, while working a few hours more — and jacking up their kid's college tuition while they're at it?
