Letter: Keep same vote machines for upcoming referendum
In regard to your editorial of Jan. 25, 2013, "A Scan Plan": I totally disagree that the Election Commission should use a scan machine for the revote on the liquor referendum. I think they should use the exact same machines we used in the last election.
To try to bring in different machines now would totally confuse us older people. I think this election should be held exactly as the last one. That is the only fair way to do it.
Once they get the roster of city residents and non-residents that own property in the city made up, we should have the same Early Voting, the same machines, and not be confused by bringing in something new at this time.
There was nothing wrong with the machines. If you note there was no tampering with the vote; it was a misunderstanding as to who was eligible to vote. Keep what we have. Nothing new for this re-vote. That is the only fair way to have a re-vote.

A Stillwater massage parlor owner has been convicted of criminal sexual conduct after four women accused him of unwanted fondling.
Thirty-six-year-old Amir Abd El Malak was charged with five counts of criminal sexual conduct for alleged inappropriate touching during massages at Land of Pharaohs massage parlor. Malak was the business owner.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports he was found guilty of two counts and acquitted of the others on Friday.
The charges each carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and/or a $20,000 fine.
His sentencing is scheduled for March 18.
Until then, Washington County district court judge Ellen Maas ordered Malak to surrender his passport and stop giving massages.

A 22-year-old Northeast Texas man faces up to life in prison if he's convicted of murder for the hit-and-run death of Texarkana police officer last year.
The trial of Justin Miles Sanders was moved to Rockwall County near Dallas on a change of venue. The Texarkana Gazette reports () closing arguments are expected Monday.
Sanders is charged with running over 30-year-old Texarkana officer Jason Sprague while fleeing a possible marijuana arrest during an illegal party involving about 100 people at a closed city park last June. Sprague was the first officer to respond to a call that people were fighting and using drugs.
He died a day later.
In a videotaped statement to police and shown to jurors, Sanders acknowledged smoking pot but denied involvement in the officer's death.

For the fourth time since being recalled from Norfolk four weeks ago, Caleb Joseph is starting consecutive games for the Orioles.
Joseph's rise is one of the more fascinating stories of a most interesting season for the Orioles.
For years, Joseph languished in the outback of the Orioles farm system, a catcher who was less than a month younger than Matt Wieters, spending four years at Bowie.
Last year Joseph finally broke out offensively, batting .299 with 22 home runs and 97 RBIs with the Baysox. The Orioles considered calling him up last September and putting him on the 40-man roster last fall.
[RELATED: Could Baltimore host 2016 All-Star Game?]
They did neither, but he came to camp hoping to get a more serious look than he did in the past. Joseph outlasted Johnny Monell, who had major league experience and was on the 40-man roster. And, once Norfolk's season started, Joseph outplayed Monell, who the Orioles shipped off to the Los Angeles Dodgers organization last week.
Joseph made a better impression behind the plate than Steve Clevenger, who unhappily went off to the Tides when he was surprisingly sent down last week instead of Joseph.
The Orioles are 7-4 when Joseph starts. They're 2-3 when Nick Hundley, who was acquired on May 25 starts, and they were 8-10 when Clevenger started. The Orioles lost six of the eight games Clevenger started once Matt Wieters went on the disabled list.
Joseph had his first multi-hit game on Tuesday, and he's now 4-for-33. It's funny. Joseph always had the reputation of an offense-first catcher, and that's been reversed in the major leagues.
Wieters is likely to be sidelined at least another three weeks. In that time, Joseph could make a convincing case that he's a true big league catcher. He's certainly on his way.

We're Fed Up!
24 Jan 13
More than 20,000 people took to the streets of Berlin on January 19, for the "Wir haben es satt" (We're fed up!) rally, organzied by Slow Food Germany and partner organizations to demand better food and agriculture in Europe. A day earlier, more than 800 kilos of vegetables were saved from waste and transformed into a "protest soup" at the Schnippeldisko - a mass "chopping and cooking" action against food waste with DJs organized by the Slow Food Youth Network in Germany.

"Mail" won't update
This morning my "Mail" app that is included in iOS crashed when I clicked on it to open it back up now it's stuck on 6/19/12 1:36 PM i'm still getting my mail but shows 240 unread msgs. When I pull down screen to update it will but goes back to that date. Nothing has changed in the past 4 years, but today this started happening. Any idea on how to fix it, i've tried shutting phone off, cutting off cloud, cutting off mail accounts also.
Welcome to Mac-Forums
Can you try a hard reset (hold down sleep & home button until device restarts) and see if that does anything.
If it doesn't, do a backup of the device to iTunes and then restore it to see if that will kick it into shape..

Cognition Episode 4: The Cain Killer Review
Played on:
Upon finishing Cognition Episode 4: The Cain Killer, I felt like like Michael Corleone from the Godfather II. Having established a solid relationship with the series, it let me down hard in Episode 4 and I wanted nothing more than to grab it by its figurative face and tell it: You broke my heart! You broke my heart! OK, maybe that's a touch melodramatic, but really, after engrossing me in the gritty, paranormal world of FBI agent Erica Reed and prepping me for a spectacular, gut-wrenching ending, Cognition instead presented me with a finale full of awkward dialog, clumsy storytelling and unintuitive mechanics.
Let me start by saying that it's with sincere regret that I say all this because I truly wanted to see Cognition pull it off. Past episodes had considerable flaws, but these were compensated for by formidable strengths; this go-round, Cognition quite simply loses the battle with its failings. Anyone who's read my other Cognition reviews knows I have issues with the look of the game: its inconsistent 2D art, model distortions and wooden animations. All that stands. I also maintain that the dialog comes off like a hasty montage of cliches from every cut-rate cop show ever made. Still, I'd hoped that the series would continue to build upon its creativity and manufacture enough gameplay excitement to distract me from its problems. Alas.
As you might imagine, The Cain Killer focuses on the villain responsible for the catalytic moment in FBI Agent Erica Reed's lifethe murder of her brother. The problem is, developer Phoenix Online has shown its hand in previous episodes by revealing the identity of the killer. This leaves them with the dispiriting task of creating hours of compelling story and gameplay from an epilogue. Although the killer has yet to be caught at the start of the episode, there's very little suspense to things and it's hard not to spend the entire episode wondering why it even exists.
The two-player-character approach continues in The Cain Killer with gameplay switching between Erica and heiress Cordelia Smith. Rose, the antique shop owner/psion life coach is also back as a central figure. In a bit of a switcheroo however, this time it's Erica poking around in Rose's head, trying to piece together some of Rose's incomplete memories. We once again use Erica's Regression power to do this, and the whole process could have been a lot of fun were its interface not totally confusing. Things function differently than before, and so even if you have previous Cognition experience, you're bound to find yourself doing a lot of aimless clicking. The problem is there's little to no feedbackpositive or negativeto let you know that what you're doing has any effect.
Making matters worse, The Cain Killer's hint system is as vague as that of previous chapters (multiple hint levels would be great here for when the interface totally stumps you). I for one was stuck a long time on the Rose part of the game only because I had no way of knowing I was supposed to use Erica's Regression power on a single item twice in a row.
In addition to the Regression issue, in Episode 4 Erica gains an imperfectly useful psi-power that allows her to read people's moods and more easily gain their trust. An icon appears in the lower right corner showing the subject's mood and early on, we're warned that making the wrong dialog choice not only affects this trust, but can have fatal results. I was excited by this because I love dialog systems that affect character attitudes and have meaningful effects on events. Unfortunately, things don't really happen that way since the system's not very well implemented. Again we encounter a feedback issue. Characters provide no tells to indicate which choice you should make and the result is an annoying trial and error system that often forces you to fail multiple times in order to figure out what the right answers are. Ironically, a power that's meant to give you an empathic edge over non-psions instead makes you feel intuition-disabled.
It would be nice to report that these psion-related mechanics were the limit of The Cain Killer's problems, but unfortunately, its more literal puzzles (as in, gadgets left for Erica by the killer) should also be added to the list. One two-parter in particularwhere you're asked to set the positions of several levers, then set a combination of buttons on a mapis particularly insidious. Yet again the f-word (feedback) rears its ugly head. The idea is to use both Erica's and Cordelia's powers to find the solutions to the puzzle, but the feedback you receive (on the lever portion) is extremely obtuse. Even Agent Reed seems to think so, since she keeps making faces and spouting things like, This is getting really frustrating!
Aside from lugging around a load of profound gameplay issues, The Cain Killer's also burdened by a slew of narrative problems. Erica doggedly continues to pursue the Cain Killer (curiously, everyone keeps calling him Cain even though they all know his identity) through one sluggish, over-written scene after another until you start to feel kind of sorry for her. The only things adding life to the proceedings are the absurd, overwrought dialog exchanges where Erica's asked to shriek and curse to unintentionally humorous effect. (Oddly enough, one of the worst offenders in terms of trite dialog, Erica's jerk boss McAdams, actually gets the lion's share of believable lines in Episode 4.)
After getting to know and like Erica Reed so well, what I've said here feels like a betrayal of sorts; I gotta figure though, a girl like her wouldn't want me to pull punches. Although Episodes 1-3 had flaws, they also had spirit, creativity, and the ability to grab your emotions by the throat. By contrast, Episode 4: The Cain Killer lacks tension, feels sloppily conceived, hastily made, and worst of all, lets its narrative weaknesses set it up for equally damning gameplay shortcomings. One hopes (well, I do) that Agent Reed can overcome this challenging chapter of her life and bounce back, ready to let us ride shotgun again on future paranormal manhunts.

I've had a pretty easy time of it so far -- my guild is reasonably small, so we're part of a larger alliance which is working out well for now. However, I'm well aware that the inevitable will happen; one day someone's goals will change, and the peace will shatter. Guild drama can't be avoided -- in fact, some guilds like to wear past problems like badges of honour on their sleeves, showing the world that they can stick together through thick and thin. Others stay mostly drama-free, through choice or design, but delve into even the quietest guilds and you may find more than you bargained for.
Do you prefer life with the added complications of guild politics, or have you given up on the drama and gone for a quieter life elsewhere?

Gear Review
Not For Me
Bought these boots to wear during my first Iowa winter and thankfully, I was blessed with a mild one. That being said I don't think the boot was really tested. It was definitely waterproof but judging how cold my feet felt on the couple of 0 degree nights I would hate to see -65F. That's what the temp rating said on the box. I also spent extra money for heavier wool socks which helped but still I don't know how Columbia arrives at this temperature rating-definitely not with my feet! Maybe I will continue to be lucky and sees mild winters or I could always move back to the south eastern U.S. LOL!
They did wear well

Her Own Musical Blend: Emeli Sande Writes For Herself
Originally published on Sun June 3, 2012 9:37 am
Emeli Sande is already a star across the pond. Her debut album topped the charts in the UK this year. Her songwriting prowess has won wide acclaim and with her BRIT Critics' Choice Award, she joins the company of artists including Adele and Florence and the Machine.
Now it's time for another coming-out party of sorts. Sande is bringing her unique mix of pop ballads, soulful belting and dance arrangements to North America for a new tour. Her album, Our Version of Events, is out in the U.S. this week.
While Sande has become a performer in her own right, she came to that through writing songs for other people.
"I began writing when I was about 6 or 7. And even at that age, I just thought it was so incredible that you could create something from nothing, and it was all in your mind and imagination," she tells Weekend Edition host Rachel Martin. "The combination of poetry and music I just thought was incredible."
Her fallback plan should the music begins to fade? Neuroscience. She says she's always been fascinated by the brain, and Sande was even in medical school before switching to a career in music.
"I would love to go back and use the degree in some way," she says, "but within the music industry, you have a window, and you kind of have to seize the day when it comes."

I am now 36 weeks.
My blood pressure has been in the high side for quite some time during this pregnancy (generally somewhere around 145/80, sometimes 135/90). I have had no protein in my urine. My feet and ankles have been pretty swollen, but my fingers and face are normal. My doctor sent me to the lab to get blood work done, and everything was normal.
SO, this week, I go to the doctor and my blood pressure reading was 150/100. I have been a fairly slow weight gainer (probably because my weight was already up when I got pregnant), and suddenly I am gaining 3-4 lbs weekly for the last couple of weeks. Again, no protein in the urine sample I gave them. My doctor sent me to the hospital where they hooked me up to the fetal monitor, and took my blood pressure again a few more times. First time, the reading was 128/80, second reading was 154/80. The nurses who were watching the baby on the monitor said she looked good. They took more blood and that came back fine. They sent me home to do a 24 hour urine collection (which I returned to the lab yesterday, have not heard the results) and my doctor put me on modified bed rest (gee, thanks).
So, to me--I am thinking I do not have preeclampsia because the only indicator so far has really been high blood pressure readings, my blood and urine are fine.
So...WTF is wrong with me? Any thoughts? My husband is freaking out, my in-laws are freaking out, and I just want to get out of bed and get some cleaning done...:P

Golfers from three different high schools claimed the top spots for the 2014 Summerville Country Club Roy Meyers Junior Open.
Fort Dorchester rising senior Dane Henderson came in with a 1-over-par 72 to win the 15th annual junior tournament held Friday. Summerville golfer Christian Woods carded a 74 to place second and Pinewood golfer JR Stark finished at 80 to place third in the age 13-18 Division. Trailing in the division were Jackson Trigiani (81), 2013 Roy Meyers Junior Champion Andrew Purcell (82), Barron Knight (84) and Jay Franko (98).
I was pretty steady today, Henderson said. I didnt hit the ball very well but my short game worked. I didnt have a single bogie on the front side, which was our backside today.
The two golfers in Hendersons group, Trigiani and Stark, pushed him in the early rounds. As the day progressed, he got word that one of the golfers in the other group was having a lot of success.
Jackson started off real well so we were competing and then I found out Christian was tied with me and that made me concentrate harder, Henderson said.
He made three birdies and several pars on his way to claiming the trophy.
Earlier this month, Henderson placed fourth at a junior golf event at Snee Farm Country Club and seventh at an event held at Rivertowne Golf Club. In 2013, he had several Top 10 finishes including a first-place finish at Snee Farm.
Price Lenoir shot a 41 Friday to win the Roy Meyers Junior Open 11-12 Division. Players in the division tee off from the white tees. Luis Thompson, who won the 10U Division for the tournament the past three years, carded a 46 to claim runner-up honors in his first summer competing with the 11-12 group. Trailing in the division were Brock Connelly (50), Andew Kaslick (52), Joseph Evans (53), Pierce Bullock (65) and Savanna Mapes (72).
This year, golfers in 10U Division were broken into two groups with eight playing nine holes and five playing five holes. Tyler Brown carded a 40 to win the nine-hole group.
Trailing were Noah Kessler (43), William Wimberly (46), Aiden Sealander (48), Jesse Snyder (51), Kamp Gary (59), Brooks Moore (60) and Sky Thompson (60).
Barnwell Myers carded a 36 to win the five-hole group. Trailing were Ethan Yzaguirre (38), Jahnz Myers (39), Talan Champ (41) and Sally Clarke Wimberly (46).
The annual tournament is open to male and female golfers.
Dr. Roy Gene Meyers was a baseball and track star in high school. He took up golf in his 40s and often played his age until he stopped playing in his late 80s.
Dr. Meyers flew combat missions in World War II, but his primary occupation and interest was behavioral optometry. His career allowed him to help improve the vision and development of countless children and adults.
In 2004, Summerville Country Club officials began holding their annual junior tournament in his honor as a way to thank Dr. Meyers for his passion for golf and the support he gave junior golfers at the club.
Each year up until his death in 2011, Dr. Meyers presented the trophies and other prizes at the clubs annual junior tournament. Those duties have now been passed down to members of his family.

it seems like a new one rears its ugly head every day. heres the new one. anytime, on any forum, or any site where you can upload images or files, when I click the button to do so, firefox gives me the beach ball for a few seconds, then quits.
and I get an error that says it unexpectedly quit. it happens every time, so I cant post any images, or anything in firefox. so Im back to safari. I've repaired permissions, emptied firefox's cache, deleted its preferences, and still nothing.
I never had that problem before. Sorry, I'm puzzled over that one. I guess Firefox isn't for everybody.
I was having those problems hmm.. many many months ago. I completely wiped Firefox, all preferences, everything that had to do with Firefox, then reinstalled and havent had any problems since. I think it was stuff left over from old versions of Firefox..
but Ive always been on version 1.0 since I installed it. and its finally how I want it after much tuning.
Yeah I did an export, and made sure I had backups of things and did a bunch of reading and so forth and figured out exactly what to keep or what I could remake and so forth.. took me awhile, but now I can use firefox without any problems.. so it was either that or have problems with it ;(

Jack arrives and tells them about Parker's confession. Dusty suggests that Janet help Jack with everything. Jack thanks him.
Johnny runs into Al's and hands Janet a flower. As she sniffs it, Dusty walks in and sits with her. They flirt and she talks about her new place. Dusty and Johnny leave as Liberty arrives. She sits with her mom and informs her that her doctor says she can stop radiation. Janet is thrilled. They hug and agree to have lunch. After Janet bustles away, Liberty calls Dusty and asks him to meet her for lunch.

TT with HD: Paul Cousins
PC: [Ed. note: PC's opening comments are in response to the multiple shots taken by HD with his camera.] It doesn't get any better than this, I can tell you that right now. When you're close to 70, they don't get any better. [laugh]
HD: How close to 70 are you?
PC: I'll be there on September 1st.
HD: All right! You know, September 2nd is my wedding anniversary!
PC: Oh, very good. And ours is the 3rd!
HD: Oh, really! Wow! Three important days in a row.
PC: 48, for Pat and I.
HD: Wow.
PC: How about yours?
HD: Let's see, this year will be 19.
PC: 19 is good, that's excellent.
HD: Generally speaking, yeah, with 19 usually I can brag.
PC: Oh, almost, yeah.
HD: But 48, you know, that just blows me away.
PC: I always said Pat couldn't train anybody better than she's got me trained. [laugh]
HD: [laugh] Well, listen thanks for coming out on such a crappy morning.
PC: It's not bad. It's not raining, it's not pouring like it was last night.
HD: Yeah, not now. On the ride over here I noticed a lot of limbs down, a lot of generators running. This was Dexter-Ann Arbor Road into town. So other parts of Dexter, did they do all right as far as you know?
PC: Yeah, we had a lot of limbs down, trees down, we had a couple of brief power blips, but it didn't last very long. And then they came right back on. We have been pretty fortunate in the village here. Once in a while we've had a couple outages, but never for long extended periods of time.
HD: So how did you determine that it was a squirrel?
PC: Dave, I guess the fried parts said that, okay? [laugh] I had no idea. It was Edison or the DTE that said it was a squirrel that got into it.
HD: So that wasn't for dinner then?
PC: [laugh] We had wild game, but squirrel was not on the menu.
HD: Got it. So when did they take the dam out? I mean part of it is left, but when did they open up that breach?
PC: It's a phased process. What they did is, they came in and the area here that we are sitting on--this little road right here--it wasn't here. This was actually part of the pond area right here. So they brought in these large rocks to form a roadbed so they could get their equipment down here.
HD: So close to 20 years you've been working on this?
PC: Since 1992 I have actually had my finger in trying to get this done. I was on the Village Council from that period of time from '92-'98, and I was off until just four years ago. In 2004 I was back on again. And my term ends in November this year.
HD: So you're not running for re-election?
PC: I didn't say that yet! I haven't made that determination.
HD: Okay.
PC: I would like to finish this project, but I haven't made a decision.
HD: You don't want to make a pronouncement from the end of the teeter totter? [laugh]
PC: No, not yet. [laugh] Leaning towards that, but not positive.
HD: So, earlier this morning there was a father with his kid looking over the site here from up on the BP parking lot, and I overheard him say to his son something like, Oh, well they've got a long way to go. What else is there to do?
PC: What else is there to do is that they have taken out one half of the bridge and they are reconstructing that portion first so that we can have two-way traffic back again. That was our goal, to have two-way traffic.
HD: That was a priority to restore the two-way traffic?
PC: Yeah, to get the two-way traffic so we have good mobility again between the northern portion of the village and everybody else going into the south.
HD: For people from Ann Arbor, if you want to go to the A&W drive-in, like my wife and I did a couple weeks ago, you know you can't go right back to Ann Arbor over the bridge ...
PC: ... right, you have to make a loop around.
HD: Right, you have to make a loop around. And you would never have occasion to make that loop, so it was nice to see that side of Dexter.
PC: Well, there's a lot of people who believe that, but some of the people who live over there who have that amount of traffic don't believe that! During school--because the school is right on one of those corners--that was an issue, now that it's summer it's not as much of an issue.
HD: Okay, so without having to go up over the bridge they can go right under it.
PC: Exactly. And as far as a vision for the park, a good thing to say in my mind is that we want a lot of public participation. So in the past years you had no access to the creek here at all, it was pretty inaccessible for everybody. So public activity on this area, whether it's a picnic table, or a walking path, or a gazebo or a bandshell. None of that has been formed yet, we'll have a number of public hearings to let people have their input into that.
HD: To figure out exactly what's going to go there?
PC: Exactly. We've hired a company, JJR, out of Ann Arbor, and ECT, those two companies will cooperate together to help us make our decisions here, and they are helping us with some of the formulations. We'll have public input and then we'll have a plan together that over the years we'll be able to implement.
HD: So you mentioned back when there was a real mill pond, there was ice skating in the winter. Is that something that you did as a kid, I mean, did you grow up around here?
PC: No, I didn't grow up around here. I've been here for 45 years, but I didn't grow up here. I came here to teach school for 20 years. And one of the things that has been really exciting for me is that when I taught at the old high school along Baker Road, Mill Creek ran right behind it. So I've had familiarity with Mill Creek almost all my life here that I have lived in the village.
HD: So where are the original sites of the mills?
PC: The mills were over on the other side where Mill Creek Sporting Goods, that's where his lumberyard and lumber mill was. And then on the side where the fire station is, those were where his grist mills were. Those were mills for flour, wheat, corn, that type of thing. And that stayed here for a period of time until the railroads came through, and then you could transport it for more efficiency than that process here. But the lumber mill--you almost always had to have some type of lumber mill, because it's wooded, people had to clear fields for farms and you had to have that, and people could build their houses. That's the first thing he did in 1824 is create this mill and a log cabin that he lived in. That's the origin of Dexter.
HD: So his name was Judge Dexter?
PC: Was actually Samuel Dexter. And he became the first judge of Washtenaw County. That's why he's famously just generically called Judge Dexter, because he was the first judge of Washtenaw County. He came the same year that John Allen came to start Ann Arbor. 1824, both of them.
HD: I think people mainly know John Allen for the creek.
PC: Right.
HD: I mean, if they know the name Allen at all then it's for Allen's Creek. So they knew each other, Judge Dexter and John Allen?
PC: Oh, they knew each other, and in fact they actually bought a newspaper together. They were very, very close friends.
HD: Really? What was the name of the newspaper that they had?
PC: The Western Immigrant, it was called. And they did not like the tenor of the news that was being published at that time. They were abolitionists and they didn't like what the fellow said, so they bought it. Judge Dexter was a strong abolitionist, and in fact, when he built his house up here in 1841, he built areas in it for the underground railroad. So that was a very important thing for him, that process.
HD: [laugh] [laugh]
PC: ... so they decided that he was going to build another one. And he built his other house in 1841 up here. The same year, July 4th in fact, was the first day that the railroad actually came through Dexter--July 4th, 1841.
HD: Wow, okay. So is there a Fourth of July parade here in Dexter?
PC: No, we don't have one. We have a Memorial Day parade, we have a big Dexter Day parade, for Dexter Days in the second week in August. But we don't have a 4th of July parade.
HD: So you're going to go to the one in Ann Arbor this year?
PC: No, I'm going to actually be out of town. This is, I think, the 3rd of July, and we are leaving the next day to go to Maryland.
HD: So you're leaving for Maryland! So you visiting family there, or?
PC: We're having my wife's family reunion. I'm excited about it because my grandchildren are coming in from around the country, as well as a lot of other relatives. We'll be there just about a week.
HD: Wow, so a whole week for a reunion!
PC: Actually, the reunion is to go on for four days and then we're going to be doing some other things there in the area just visiting. Play a little golf.
HD: So this sounds like it's going to be a major family reunion.
PC: We do about every 2-3 years.
HD: Over 100 people?
PC: About 50.
HD: That's plenty.
PC: Yeah, it's plenty.
HD: So at each of these family reunions, is there somebody that could be considered like the family patriarch or matriarch who runs things?
PC: Actually my sister-in-law, whose house is kind of centrally located, that's why we kind of chose this site this time, is the one who's hosting everything. Previously we've done it in Alabama and here, and one other time there in Maryland so it's kind of a cyclic thing.
HD: So whoever's hosting is the one who calls the shots?
PC: Is the one who kind of says, Okay let's have one and I'll put my house up for the sleeping portion. And we've got to eat there, and we also rent a few places, because we can't get everyone at the same place.
HD: So is there like a schedule of events?
PC: Actually there's not. The area that we're going is called Deep Creek. It's up along this finger of Maryland sort of slips under Pennsylvania and over West Virginia and there's a large lake there.
HD: Isn't there a canal that used to go through there?
PC: I don't know that, I've never seen a canal. But it's a very, very high recreation area. A lot of people from DC used to come up here to have their summer home and recreate there. When they retire they moved there. And there is a ski area there, too, so they like to ski, even though they are in their mid-70's. My brother-in-law has two other women who go skiing almost every morning. One of them drives the boat, and one is the watcher, and the other one skis, and then they alternate. It's kind of fun to see these 74, 75, 76-year-old people out skiing--almost every morning that's available during the summer they water ski.
HD: Wow, so that's just something they feel like they need to do?
PC: Yeah, they just do it, it's great. It's kind of neat for me. I have never been on skis in my life, but they love it.
HD: So do you ride in the boat at least?
PC: I have done that. They have also a pontoon boat that you can go around on the lake and do fishing and stuff like that.
HD: The other reason people from Ann Arbor might recognize your name is in connection with Gordon Hall. I haven't been following that closely, but did it hit some kind of a glitch recently?
PC: I wouldn't say a glitch. They're trying to raise money for the roof right now. And of course that's not one of the things we programmed in when we were raising this money. We really need to get a roof on there to protect the integrity of the house. It's around $45,000 that we need for this roof. So they're looking for donations and that type of thing. Just for the normal glitches that you have, you know. But it's going along as we expected. Raising money still to pay off the debt, that's part of the responsibility that we have.
HD: So has the University continued to be any kind of a partner at all with this, or did they just basically say, Okay we sold it to you, now were done with it?
PC: Yeah. That's one of those things that probably will stick in my craw for a long time. And I can say it, because I've told the Regents publicly that they didn't do the right thing. This was given to them in 1950, and then they proceeded to basically take Judge Dexter's house, and put it into four apartments. So the integrity of a historic home--which you would find in Ann Arbor you couldn't do because of the rules and regulations that they have in the historic districts there--they decided that this wasn't important here, and they put it into four apartments. Now in one sense they say, Well, we protected the house from destruction. But it was being renovated by Judge Dexter's granddaughter for protection anyway. So destruction wasn't the ultimate problem.
HD: So this was his third house, right?
PC: This was his third house.
HD: So the one he built, because he wanted to get away from the noise from the railroad?
PC: That is correct. That was actually designed by Millard Fillmore's brother, the president of the United States.
HD: Okay, so that Millard Fillmore.
PC: Yeah, that Millard Fillmore that nobody knows about anymore. Or recognizes him! [laugh] His brother was a builder and an architect and he built a number of homes, including that home there. Well-known, listed as one of the most impressive structures east of the Mississippi River. Because it was such a large mansion up on the hillside. And because of the importance of what Judge Dexter was.
HD: So just before you climbed on the teeter totter, you came from a Rotary club meeting, is that right?
PC: Yes.
HD: So what was on the agenda this morning?
PC: Well, we had a business meeting. The Rotary club is 10 years old, we just celebrated our 10-year anniversary. We're a small club, but we're now, I guess, the second largest club in the county, I didn't realize that. The one downtown in Ann Arbor is obviously the largest one, they have about 300 members. We have about 35. We are about 10 times smaller than they are.
HD: Growing up in my hometown of Columbus, Indiana ...
PC: ... outside of an Indianapolis ...
HD: ... right. So the Rotary club was known for their pancake breakfast. And they had a pancake machine. It was a rotating griddle, and it had a handle that controlled the hopper for the batter, so you had one guy who could just let the batter fly and it would make a perfect round circle, and as it rotated, the guy on the other side of it, would flip them, they'd go through again, and he'd flip them onto your plate. So that's my association with all Rotary clubs--do you guys have a pancake machine?
PC: We don't have a pancake machine. [laugh] No. Every Rotary club has a couple of projects for raising money. They donate the money, but they have projects to raise the money. And we have two of them. It's called Food, Art and Wine. We have an artist come in and display their wares and people can purchase them there or later on. We also have the food portion of it where we have a sit-down dinner. And then we have wine, which you can taste wine and then through the restaurants that we are associated with--this time it was at North Grill, the new restaurant here in Dexter ...
HD: ... so I passed it on the left as they came in, it's in the new building, the Monument ...
PC: ... the Monument Park building, yeah. And we have wine, which you can buy by the glass and taste, and then also purchase by the bottle for events that you want to have. So it's kind of a three-part process of raising money. And then the last part of it is an auction where we auction off items. And people in the Rotary they donate something, either a service or something of value, and then it's auctioned off.
HD: No way.
PC: Because he knows the King of Sweden, because he's Swedish and he's one of the members who is active in the--I think he's a Consulate member for the State of Michigan. So he knows Governor Granholm real well.
HD: You are kidding me. The King of Sweden??
PC: Here is a unique part of it. When you got this bid, you actually had to go to a pre-dinner to learn how to eat with the King. So I guess you couldn't do something obscene like pick your nose, or your ear or something in front of the King and when he put his fork down you had to put your fork down. I heard that was part of it.
HD: [laugh]
PC: So I think somebody paid $1400 to have dinner with the King.
HD: So have they had dinner yet?
PC: They haven't had it yet. It's scheduled here for this fall.
HD: Oh, so he's coming over here?
PC: He's coming over here for a visit in United States, and while he's here they will have this dinner.
HD: So is he coming to Dexter??
PC: He's coming to outside of Dexter. It's actually Leonard Johansson is the fellow's name who donated it, and he lives south of I-94 there on Parker Road.
HD: You know, when I hear something like King of Sweden is coming to visit our area ...
PC: ... you want him to get on the teeter totter!
HD: Well, heck yeah.
PC: I'm not so sure the King knows what a teeter totter is. Or has ever been on one.
HD: I wonder what the Swedish word for 'teeter totter' is.
PC: It would be fun.
HD: Well, anyway that would be great if the King of Sweden climbed onto the teeter totter.
PC: I could introduce you to Leonard, you would be fascinated with him. But you better plan all day because nothing can stop him from talking once you get him started.
HD: Oh yeah?
PC: Oh he's amazing.
HD: My sense is you could give him a run for his money! [laugh]
PC: Well, maybe. I always had a goal of out-talking my students. So I wanted to be louder than they were, see?
HD: Well, listen, is there anything else you would make sure we cover here?
PC: Well, I'm just very excited after all the effort, not only mine, but there has been a lot of effort by a lot of people--the [Huron River] Watershed Council has been invaluable in helping with this process
HD: Yeah, I'm wearing their T-shirt!
PC: Yeah, you're wearing a T-shirt, I appreciate that. I didn't wear mine today, but I have one of those. Probably should've worn it, Margaret will be all over my back for not doing it. [laugh] But the fact of the matter is I'm very excited. To see the dam come out after being here in various forms since 1824, it's really exciting for me to see that process, and community planning in putting this area from a backdoor to a front door of a village with all the activities and so forth.
HD: Well, congratulations on that.
PC: Well, thanks very much.
HD: So maybe like five years from now when the park is in place, maybe I'll bring the teeter totter back.
PC: I've always said, people kid me about it, that I won't be alive long enough to see the dam come out. But now I've seen that! So I think five years and now I think I'll see the park.
HD: I would recommend not putting teeter totters in the park--I want to have the only one.
PC: [laugh] That's good.
HD: Well, listen, thanks for riding.
PC: Well thank you, Dave, and congratulations on this here, it's a really cool idea.

Militants in Central African Republic (CAR) have broken out in violence, as Christian militants attempt to drive out Muslims.
A report from nonprofit Open Door said, "Early Thursday morning, a large number of young people and anti-Balaka members flooded the streets, also around the area where we are. They used large tires they set on fire to block the roads. They demonstrated against the Burundian contingent in Misca. More and more people joined the protest. A revenge attack is likely. We can't go anywhere. There is constant gunfire."
Since the report was released, the Muslim mosque was destroyed with no known injuries reports Mission News Network.
Jim Hocking, chief executive officer of Water for Good, believes that the conflict is not simply Christians against Muslims. "In my humble opinion, it is more an ethnic cleansing," said Jim Hocking.
The Christian anti-balaka forces first formed in the 1990s to protect their communities, but the militants have now driven out most followers of Islam. The Muslim population was once somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 people. Now about 900 remain.
Hocking said that the Muslim population used to control the nation's economy. "The question remains for most of us: who's going to pick up that huge piece that's been left open? There's nobody really ready to pick up that piece of the lost economy that was run by the Muslims."

Panthers @ Saints Fantasy Football Outlook (Who Dat Dish)
Wow, last week was brutal. I'm not speaking as a fan with a broken heart (well…) since we're here to discuss fantasy but Seattle nullified the Saints on national television. 188 yards of total offense. Drew Brees threw for less than 200 yards after FORTY-THREE consecutive games. Good news: the Saints are back in the Superdome and most importantly are Super-angry. I know Carolina defense is really good but if Brees will be able to expose their secondary the Saints will get back on track.

Better than an iPod? On the second day of the Summit of the Americas Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez presented President Obama with a book on Latin American history.
Much attention has been paid so far to the interactions between the two leaders, who had never met before the summit. Their first meeting Friday night, which consisted simply of smiling and shaking hands, caused quite a stir. If yesterday's photo-op was all about the handshake, than today's was all about the gift.
More details from the AP:
In front of photographers, Chavez gave Obama a copy of "The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent," a book by Eduardo Galeano, which chronicles U.S. and European economic and political interference in the region.
When a reporter asked Obama what he thought of the book, the president replied: "I thought it was one of Chavez' books. I was going to give him one of mine." White House advisers said they didn't know if Obama would read it or not.
Later, during a group photo, Obama reached behind several leaders at the summit to shake Chavez' hand for the third time. Obama summoned a translator and the two smiled and spoke briefly.
As ABC's Jake Tapper points out, Chavez's gift was perhaps not as gracious as it may seem, given that the book attacks the US for what it considers its exploitation of Latin America.
Tapper also notes that the book Chavez gave Obama is soaring on Amazon.
The Washington Post has more on Galeano's book and career here.

The last few years haven't exactly been gentle to our public colleges and universities, or the students who attend them. Cash-poor state legislatures have gone to town on their higher education budgets, and as they've hacked away, tuition has risen along with the sums undergraduates have had to borrow. In total, 38 states cut post-secondary funding since the recession, many by more than a fifth.
So in that light, it sadly can be considered welcome news that just 16 states are planning to slash their spending any further in FY 2013, according to the Grapevine project at Illinois State University, which released its annual roundup of state-by-state higher-ed funding on Tuesday. The worst cuts this year are pending in Florida (8 percent), Alabama (6 percent) and New Jersey (5.5 percent). Another 16 legislatures increased their budgets by less than 2 percent, which will likely amount to a cut once inflation takes its bite. On the other hand, that means higher-ed will get a budget boost in 18 states. So let's say the glass is 1/3 full.
Even with these small improvements, though, the post-recession funding picture is still pretty grisly. First, the states that cut.

Why are we there?
- Endemic/epidemic disease
Our Work
This is an extract from MSF-USA's 2013 Annual Report:
MSF handed over its Chagas program in Aiquile after successfully establishing an integrated prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategy.
Chagas, a parasitic disease endemic in Latin America, is most commonly transmitted through the bites of infected vinchuca bugs, which are often found in cracks in the walls and roofs of rural adobe houses. The disease can be asymptomatic for many years, but if left untreated it may affect internal organs and can lead to heart failure and even death.
Treatment for Chagas in Narciso Campero province, where disease prevalence is estimated to be as high as 40 percent, has always been difficult both geographically and financially. The majority of inhabitants live in remote areas far from the urban hospitals and health centers that offer treatment, and which often charge a fee.
In 2009, MSF began an integrated Chagas program in the communities of Aiquile, Omereque, and Pasorapa. Working through community clinics and health centers, teams diagnosed and treated people aged one to 60 for Chagas, and trained local health staff. Significant efforts were made to raise awareness and the communities were involved in surveillance and control of Chagas through educational workshops, weekly meetings, and a radio show.
In September 2013, the project was handed over as planned to the Departmental Chagas Program of the Ministry of Health and the province's Health Network Management. MSF is planning a new project in Aiquile, which will implement a sustainable treatment model that can be replicated in other locations.
At the end of 2012, MSF had 67 staff in Bolivia and Paraguay (Bolivia and Paraguay come under a joint MSF program). MSF has been working in Bolivia since 1986.
Patient Story
Angel, 55 years old, lives in Chujllas, a small community in a rural part of Cochabamba department.
"I wasn't feeling well. I had some palpitations when I was sleeping. I went to the hospital in the town of Aiquile for a diagnosis. The results were that I had Chagas. But it was impossible for me to keep going to Aiquile for treatment. Six months went by and a friend told me that MSF was coming to Chujllas. 'This is very important,' I said, 'we mustn't miss this opportunity.'
The whole community met with the doctors. By that time I didn't feel like working or even eating. I started treatment. I recovered. I hope others follow the treatment, as I am feeling very well now."

Japan Airlines (JAL) is pushing its workers to accept further wages cuts and reductions in benefits.
The carrier has asked its pilots to accept a 20-30% wage cut and to have wages calculated based on flying hours and other responsibilities, say news reports in Japan, citing undisclosed sources at JAL.
Presently pilots are guaranteed wages for 65hr flying time each month, regardless of how many hours are actually flown. JAL wants this system abolished, say the reports.
Flight attendants, meanwhile, get guaranteed pay for 50hr of flight time each month regardless. JAL wants this perk to be abolished as well, say the reports.
The reports add that JAL hopes to reach an agreement with six employee unions by September.
These wage cuts are on top of the 5% across the board wage cut implemented in April.
JAL filed for bankruptcy protection on 19 January and is now under-going a government-backed restructuring.

A 2007 article from the New York Times travel section considers the controversy surrounding a proposed bridge to the former Incan capital Machu Picchu and comments on the heavy flow of tourism in the region.
"With around 2,500 visitors a day, some believe there are already too many tourists roaming around Machu Picchu destroying not just the ruins, but also the flora and fauna. They say the bridge could double that number of daily visitors and further endanger the site."
