- ―introducing himself
Coach is one of the four playable survivors in Left 4 Dead 2. He was a high-school health teacher and coordinator for the freshman football team before the Infection hit his hometown of Savannah. He is the oldest of the group and takes it upon himself to motivate his fellow Survivors.
Coach's facial features are based on Darnell Rice and he is voiced by Chad Coleman.
Official Description
|Age: 44
|Hometown: Savannah, GA
| Coach has a big heart and a healthy appetite, and a wicked swing with a chainsaw. After a knee injury ended his career as a defensive lineman in college, Coach salvaged his Physical Education degree (barely) and landed a job teaching health at the local high school in his hometown of Savannah.
Working as a defensive coordinator for the freshmen tour team might not have been the best path to a pro coaching career; but it's come in pretty handy in guiding a group of Survivors to safety. Coach has watched his beloved hometown get ravaged by infected—now it's time to deliver his own brand of Southern hospitality. [1]
WARNING: The following is conjecture and may not be considered canon.
Coach is the eldest, voice of reason, and authority of the Left 4 Dead 2 team, playing a similar role to Bill in Left 4 Dead. He comes across as a warm-hearted father figure with an optimistic attitude that is hard to disagree with. Despite his friendly demeanor, his experience as an actual coach makes him demand things of the other Survivors in a positive way - for example, loudly encouraging them to get back on their feet.[2] All in all, Coach can be considered the father figure of the group, if not leader.
Relationships with other Survivors
- Ellis
Despite their age gap, Coach and Ellis have several shared interests: they both like the Midnight Riders, Jimmy Gibbs, Jr. and Whispering Oaks Amusement Park. Coach is surprisingly patient with Ellis' naïve ways and often defends him from Nick's sarcasm. Both are also native Georgians (same hometown), which could contribute to their friendliness with each other. Despite this, Coach will often remind Ellis to focus whenever the mechanic gets off track.[3]
- Nick
Nick and Coach have the most antagonistic relationship in the game, similar to that of Francis and Bill in Left 4 Dead. What appears to rile Coach the most is that Nick is the opposite of the cooperative "team player" with whom he is most comfortable working with. Nick will say things just to needle Coach and Ellis (e.g. claiming that Jimmy Gibbs, Jr. "looks like an asshole" and making disparaging rejoinders about Coach's happy childhood memories at Whispering Oaks Amusement Park).[4] Despite this, Coach's optimism is often less down-to-earth as Nick's; for example, Nick classifies Coach's remark about the abandoned vehicles in Dark Carnival as "…one theory."[5]
Notwithstanding their passive-aggressive mutual dislike, both will seem unhappy when the other dies. On Coach's death, Nick may utter "Goddammit, Coach, what did you leave me with…?", showing that despite his attitude, he regards Coach as having a leadership role in the group. Over the course of the events, they both become less disrespectful toward each other, though Nick still often teases Coach about his weight and fondness for cheeseburgers and chocolate. Coach is the one who steps in when Nick's pessimism crosses the line during the campaigns. When Nick questions whether seeking safety with the army is a good idea, Coach snaps: "Well, you're free to make yourself a new life right here in this room, Nick." to which Nick responds by saying, "Okay... All right, let's go."
- Rochelle
Rochelle and Coach like one another in a way that somewhat mirrors Zoey's and Bill's relationship in Left 4 Dead. They interact in a consistently friendly way and their personalities fully compliment each other. They are thus very unhappy to see the other die. Coach often refers to Rochelle as "little sister", meaning he feels protective of her.[6]
- Francis
Coach and Francis do not have much interaction, but when Coach talks to him or when Francis tosses an item down to Coach in the finale, they will sound friendly. In one interaction between the two, Francis will ask Rochelle if Coach is her dad, to which Coach responds in a somewhat offended manner ("What?"), while Rochelle teases him for it. However, it is very revealing that Coach (presumably on the basis of his sporting and team management talent and experience) senses something unsettling about Francis and does not seem to trust him very much; for example, he voices the possibility that Francis may have stolen Jimmy Gibbs, Jr.'s car while they were gone.
- Zoey
There is little interaction between the two. Coach teases Ellis about meeting her, telling him to stop being so nervous and playfully joking about his interest in her. He also compliments her when she kills a Special Infected during The Passing finale.
- Louis
Coach and Louis seem to understand each other's situation quite well. Since both are optimists and want to keep in good spirits. Louis wishes Coach luck and Coach invites Louis (and the other Survivors) to join up with his group and go to New Orleans together, an offer Louis politely declines.
See: Coach/Quotes
- In the Zombie Survival Guide trailer Coach can be seen eating a bar of chocolate branded "Chocolate Helicopters" as seen on the box by Rochelle. This explains the inspiration for Nick's joke later on; commenting on Coach's eating habits, and his favorite brand of chocolate.
- Much like Ellis, he too is a fan of the Midnight Riders and claims to have all of their albums - "even their new stuff that ain't no good." He will even sing parts of the song Midnight Ride when next to the microphone in The Concert and sing "A suitcase full of pistols and money," upon seeing it in The Passing.
- Bill and Coach have many things in common. According to their back-stories, both Bill and Coach have knee injuries. They also are the older, "mentor" type in their group, and have a dislike for climbing stairs. On top of that, they both have a different physical disadvantage. Bill's disadvantage is that he's older than anyone out of the two groups. On the other hand, Coach's disadvantage is that he is overweight, preventing him doing similar things as Bill.
- Coach's actual first or last name is never identified, and he is simply referred to as "coach" in the game files. All he has ever said on the matter was, "My friends call me Coach."
- If Coach dies and if Rochelle is near his body, she may ask if "Coach" is his first or last name.
- Similar to Francis' lack of gloves, bandages were seen on Coach's head on some of the posters, though his in-game model did not have any (most prominently seen in Dark Carnival's poster. An exception would be The Parish). Also, the color of his shirt in some of the posters resembles his beta appearance more than his in-game appearance.
- In Coach's official screenshot, the fans in the bleachers are just cleaned up models of Common Infected.
- Сoach has many tattoos, as evidenced in The Passing, when the Survivors pass through a tattoo shop[7].
- Coach possibly has the most errors in speech coding out of any Survivor.
- If one of the Survivors dies, he may say "Stay close, we're a party of two", even if there are two other Survivors with him.
- Coach will sometimes call Rochelle "boy", as if he were talking to Nick or Ellis. Similarly, when a Jockey rides Rochelle, Coach may say "That ain't right for a man to be ridden like that", though he could be referring to a human in general.
- If Nick or Rochelle shoots Coach, he may reply with "Young'un, stop that shit.", though Ellis is the youngest in the group, and Nick and Rochelle are both much older than him. Also, when using the "Look!" command on Survivors, Coach calls Ellis "Young'un", but not the other two.
- Also, if Rochelle kills a Special Infected, he might say "Alright boy, you got it now!", even though Rochelle is female.
- On the first chapter of Dead Center, other Survivors will call him Coach even though he hasn't told them his nickname yet, unlike any other Survivors who are just called things like "sir," "miss," etc.
- Coach seems to hate Witches more than any other Infected. This can be proven by that when he sees a Witch, he acts if he is mocking her and calls her a "Bitch!" (similar to Nick if he is chased by a Witch), unlike other Survivors such as Nick who say "Witch." Also, even though when the Survivors hear her, he sometimes says "Quiet y'all, I hear a bitch." unlike other Survivors such as Nick might say "I hear my ex-wife."
- Coach has a great love of food. In some instances in the Mall, Coach says "If I see a zombie running at me with a sample tray, I ain't shootin it." When the Survivors enter the Burger Tank, he wished it was open and said he wanted a BBQ Burger, large fries, a drink with no ice, and a fresh slice of hot apple pie. He may also lament that restaurants and food courts are not open, due to the Infected.
- Coach swears frequently in the game. For example, when hit by another Survivor, he will sometimes say "I swear to God you can't shoot worth shit.", or when hit by Spitter acid, he would loudly exclaim "Shit! That long-necked bitch hit me!"
- If Coach shoots Rochelle, even though they are nice to each other, Rochelle might ask "What the hell are you doing?" or "Okay, that better have been an accident!", unlike if Coach shoots Nick, Nick will calmly reply "Coach." with a slight annoyance.

SPLC files a Friend-of-the-Court urging Supreme Court to strike down Proposition 8
The Southern Poverty Law Center today filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the U.S. Supreme Court urging the Court to uphold a lower court's ruling that Proposition 8 violates the constitutional guarantee of equal protection. Proposition 8, or "Prop. 8", is the 2008 ballot initiative that took away marriage for same-sex couples in California. The brief was filed in Hollingsworth v. Perry.
In the brief, the SPLC and its co-counsel Keker & Van Nest LLP identify trial evidence showing that Prop. 8 was designed to send a clear and unmistakable message to California voters: same-sex marriages -- as well as gay men and lesbians -- are to be feared, distrusted, and scorned. The trial record reveals a ballot campaign filled with hostility and fear-mongering against gay people, featuring vicious sexual stereotypes, warnings about a moral degradation of society caused by same-sex marriage, and attempts to stoke fear in the hearts of parents for the safety and welfare of their children.
For example, supporters of Prop. 8 linked recognition of same-sex marriage to pedophilia, incest, polygamy, prostitution, and bestiality. Prop. 8 Proponent Bill Tam wrote that gay people "lose no time in pushing the gay agenda—after legalizing same-sex marriage, they want to legalize prostitution. What will be next? On their agenda list is: legalizing having sex with children." Evocative imagery helped supporters of Proposition 8 brand the LGBT movement, and the desire for recognition of same-sex marriage, as threatening and inspired by evil. A Protectmarriage.com video compared the recognition of same-sex marriage to the terrorist attacks of September 11, and the American Family Association's video called on voters to "stop the gay marriage juggernaut in California as the Armageddon."
This evidence, along with other evidence from the Prop. 8 campaign contained in the brief, demonstrates that the Prop. 8 campaign purposefully stoked fear about gay men and lesbians. Citing Romer v. Evans, the brief urges the Supreme Court to condemn Prop. 8 as unconstitutional, as it singles out a class of people only "to make them unequal to everyone else."
"The arguments advanced by supporters of Prop. 8 seem like echoes from America's past, harkening back to messages used to fight racially-mixed marriage in the 1950s and 1960s" said Christine P. Sun, SPLC deputy legal director. "Recognizing stark animus for what it is, the SPLC—based on our decades-long history of fighting discrimination born of hatred and ill-will—files this brief to spotlight key aspects of the record."
The SPLC has previously appeared as counsel or amicus curiae in numerous cases challenging discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation, including as counsel of record in Frontiero v. Richardson, which paved the way for the Supreme Court's subsequent holding that intermediate scrutiny applies to gender-based discrimination. Currently, the SPLC represents Tracey Cooper-Harris, a decorated, disabled Army veteran and her same-sex spouse Maggie in a case challenging the federal government's refusal to recognize their legally valid marriage. More information about Tracey and Maggie's case can be found here.
Counsel on the brief included Sun and Sara Zampierin from the SPLC, and Jon B. Streeter, Daniel Purcell, Kate E. Lazarus, and Katherine M. Lovett from Keker & Van Nest LLP in San Francisco, California.

A new study suggests that states have not seen the academic boost they expected from introducing Algebra 1 to a broader range of students in middle school.
This practice has been widely embraced in Georgia under the assumption that Algebra 1 in middle school better readies students for the more rigorous math now being taught in high school.
The study seems to end up in the place that much education research does: The concept may haven been good in theory, but the execution stumbled because the Algebra I was watered down to accommodate weaker students who normally would not have qualified for advanced math in middle school.

As much as I like some of the positions of the Catholic church (acceptance of evolution, global warming, etc.), it is beyond ridiculous that the Vatican continues to stick to the outdated concept of opposing birth control. With the world population at dangerously high levels that leads to all sorts of problems including poverty, infant mortality, malnutrition, crime, etc., the Catholics lose all credibility when they oppose birth control even when almost all Catholics themselves use birth control. If the Catholics believe that having more births to Catholics is the fastest and easiest way to grow their religion, then in the process they will be destroying the planet.
According to The Times, "About half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned, and about 4 of 10 of those end in abortion, according to the Institute of Medicine report, which was released in July. It noted that providing birth control could lower both pregnancy and abortion rates. It also cited studies showing that women with unintended pregnancies are more likely to be depressed and to smoke, drink and delay or skip prenatal care, potentially harming fetuses and putting babies at increased risk of being born prematurely and having low birth weight."
What other evidence is needed to convince them? Isn't this data not enough to pursue them to give up their opposition because getting pregnant only when you really want to is not just good for the parents, the child, the family, but also for the society? Isn't the ultimate goal prevention of abortion rather than having a bunch of unwanted babies who will most likely never go to a Catholic church and will most likely become losers?

Editorial: Fighting domestic violence
Domestic violence is still crippling our community.
Awareness is working. We know the situation could be worse.
Back in October, more than 100 people came to the steps of the Vance County Courthouse. They brought a message that silence is not the way to end domestic violence.
We advocated then for a message than resonates 24/7/365. And there's another collective, corporate gathering chance on Thursday morning with Church Watch.
This will be a time when information is shared, ideas are exchanged and the intentional fight against these terrible actions continues.
Church Watch isn't alone. The efforts in Vance County to generate awareness includes several organizations. The Vance County Department of Social Services, law enforcement, Life Line Outreach, Infinite Possibilities, New Directions, Safe Space, Structured Family Interventions, the Dazzling Divas SC, schools and the Boys & Girls Club are among them, and there are more.
We lost Heart's Haven last year, a domestic violence shelter that operated under the umbrella of Area Christians Together in Service. Other agencies have stepped forward since to fill in the gap.
But filling in the gap without a true solution perpetuates crisis mode. Thursday's meeting is another chance to gain knowledge, to find ways to get at the root of problems rather than just reacting to them.
DSS confirms the majority of cases they see are domestic violence related.
In 2012, there were 122 homicides in North Carolina linked to domestic violence. Like cancer, domestic violence is not partisan to any gender, race or social status. It can happen to anyone.
We have to educate ourselves, understand how to see potential flags in our everyday life with others and know what to do. Doing nothing essentially makes us enablers, and none of us would want to do that.
Victims are reluctant — and understandably so — to report attackers. But that may not be the only fear or hindrance.
When we as a community speak up, to say we are willing to help, to say we are willing to assist victims going through the horrible ordeal, then we are providing an element of success in the fight.
We never know when it will be us, someone in our family or someone we know.

What are STDs?
STDs is the acronym for sexually transmitted diseases. STDs are passed from one person to another during sexual contact. The term STD is also known as STI (sexually transmitted infection). Some STDs can also be passed to another person through other means, such as through blood transfusions or from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy or childbirth.
STDs are very common, especially among young people ages 15 to 24. There are about 19 million new cases of STDs in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Source: CDC).
STDs include:
Genital herpes
Genital warts
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
Pubic lice (crabs)
Most STDs are highly preventable. If diagnosed early, some STDs, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, can be quickly and easily treated and cured before serious complications develop.
Other STDs, such as HIV/AIDS and genital herpes, are not curable, but prompt diagnosis and treatment can help reduce or delay the onset of serious complications, improve the quality of life, and minimize the spread of the disease to others.
Any person who engages in sexual activity can contract and pass on an STD. This includes heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual men and women.
Untreated STDs can lead to serious complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, opportunistic infections, and complications in newborns. Using safer sex practices, seeking regular medical care, and seeking early, regular prenatal care can help reduce the risk of serious complications of STDs.
What are the symptoms of STDs?
Symptoms of STDs vary depending on the type of STD and the individual case. Some STDs have no symptoms early in the disease – some never generate symptoms. However, serious permanent damage to the reproductive tissues, infertility, and other complications can occur even when no symptoms are present.
Symptoms that affect the genitals and reproductive organs include:
What causes STDs?
STDs are caused by infections of certain organisms:
Bacteria cause chancroid, chlamydia, bacterial vaginosis, and syphilis.
Viruses cause hepatitis, herpes, HIV/AIDS, HPV, and genital warts.
- Parasites cause pubic lice (crabs), scabie... Read more about stdscauses

Ravens would like to add free safety to mix
Joe Hortiz: Longer draft could benefit Ravens
Defensive backs worked out Tuesday at the NFL combine, and the Ravens were keeping a close eye on the free safeties. The Ravens would like to add a free safety, while moving Matt Elam to strong safety next season. James Ihedigbo, who started next to Elam at safety last season, is expected to leave during free agency.
Free safeties the Ravens could possible target in the second round include Terrence Brooks of Florida St. and Jimmie Ward of Northern Illinois. However, the Ravens feel good about their secondary overall, especially if they can re-sign free agent cornerback Corey Graham, who led the team with four interceptions in 2013.
Cornerback has become one of the Ravens' strengths, with Jimmy Smith blossoming into the player they expected when he was a first-round pick in 2011. Smith is coming off his best season, and at 6-foot-2, he has the size and wingspan that most teams now covet at cornerback. Veteran cornerback Lardarius Webb played well last season in his first year following major knee surgery. However, it often takes players more than a year to recover fully from a knee injury. It would not be surprising to see Webb play with even more confidence next season, with no worries about his knee.
If Brooks or Ward is available in the second round or later, the Ravens may grab either. But adding a safety is a lower priority for the Ravens than strengthening the offensive line, or adding a playmaking receiver.

The Iowa State University Weed Science group, in conjunction with the Iowa Soybean Association, is continuing to survey weed populations in Iowa for herbicide resistance. The survey was initiated in 2011 and will continue this fall. Populations of common waterhemp, giant ragweed and marestail will be screened for susceptibility to five different herbicide classes in the greenhouse. To participate in this survey, collect a large sample of the seed heads (fill a paper grocery sack approximately half full, but the larger the seed sample the better), provide the GPS coordinates of the field(s) or the address, and as much information about the historic production practices as possible. Remember that if common waterhemp is the weed of interest, there are male and female plants; be sure to collect only the female seed heads. Contact Mike Owen at 515-294-5936 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you have questions and to arrange for the samples to be picked up.

When dealing with a large power distribution system, a special type of schematic diagram called
an electrical single line is used to show all or part of the system. This type of diagram depicts
the major power sources, breakers, loads, and protective devices, thereby providing a useful
overall view of the flow of power in a large electrical power distribution system.
On power distribution single lines, even if it is a 3-phase system, each load is commonly
represented by only a simple circle with a description of the load and its power rating (running
power consumption). Unless otherwise stated, the common units are kilowatts (kW). Figure 13

Patrick Borders, a former in Major League Baseball, Most Valuable Player in the 1992 World Series, and former resident of Scioto County is the newest addition to the Baseball Mural on the Portsmouth floodwall.
World renown muralist, Robert Dafford, the original artist and painter of the Portsmouth Floodwall Murals, began working on the new mural and completed the mural on Friday.

1/2 cup

4 cups
Hot cooked regular long-grain white rice
This is one easy and quick after work dinner that the whole family enjoyed. I used the grilled & ready chicken breast strips (no need to cook in oil). Used reduced sodium soy sauce. My daughter ate the red pepper so I threw in some sliced carrots. Any veggies will do. It was lacking a little in flavor until I shook in some powdered chicken bouillon granules. Topped with nuts and green onion. My hubby doesn't like nuts in his food and my daughter likes extra in hers (no problem). Served over brown rice. You can even buy the veggies already pre-cut to cut prep time. A keeper for sure!
Very bland as is!

This is AWESOME. I made it for a dinner party with family and there was none left! I will be making this again :) The only thing changed was I didn't add peppers, but that was because I forgot to buy enough!
this was really good and easy, but I thought that it was missing something....not sure what though since I only do stir fry from recipes :-) My hubby ate it and that's a good thing!
I followed the recipe exactly. I even added the optional sesame oil which I think it definately needed. We thought it was delicious. Next time I will replace some of the red pepper with broccoli. Other than that, it was great!
This was pretty good but thought it was missing something. I realize now that I forgot the garlic. Will have to try again with it.
We made this recipe tonight for dinner. It was excellent! We omitted the sesame oil, but left everything else as directed and we will certainly make this one again.
Very Easy and filling. I also threw in some green peppers and onions.

Emily K. Center tackles learning loss
"Achieve your dreams, don't let obstacles get in your way. Dream-Do-Achieve like Martin Luther King did. Do that and success will happen in no time."
These framed handwritten words hang on one wall in the Emily K Center, reminding the school-aged children who come through its doors that their environment does not dictate their future.
The Emily K. Center is a non-profit organization established in 2006. Its out-of-school programming aims to help academically focused students from low-income homes achieve in school, get into college and break the cycle of poverty in their families.
The center was founded and inspired by Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and named after his mother, Emily. From a poor neighborhood as a child, Krzyzewski was active at his local community center on Chicago's North Side. The center provided much needed support and strengthened neighborhood ties, a model that he wanted to implement in Durham.
The Center uses a model called "K to college" which uses distinctive, sequential programs. It serves nearly 1,500 students and other community members monthly.
The Center's Summer Scholars program helps low-income children from about 30 different schools in Durham address learning loss over the break by helping them maintain skills they've learned up during the year and gain new ones.
"Looking at the big picture, there is so much student evidence that shows kids lose ground when they are not engaged in instruction during the summer," said Adam Eigenrauch, the Emily K. Center's executive director. "This is a great opportunity to build on gains made during the year and to build on a really good thing and capitalize on that momentum."
Students in Judy Morris's class were hard at work this week making their own math-based board game. Palmer told her students they are mathematicians flown in to Emily K to create a game.
The students developed three levels of questions about patterns – easy, medium and hard – and designed their game board. Next the students have to write out the directions, keeping in mind the ages of the people who may be playing.
"There's a lot of strategy going on with how they're going to work their game," Palmer said. "It's been great to see their creativity blossom. They just came up with so many different ideas. It's just been an awesome experience."
Morris, a certified teacher at Hope Valley Elementary, along with the other Summer Scholar teachers develops a project for her students to complete during the five-week program. Eigenrauch approves the projects before the program starts.
"We have a great staff and they make it a little different than we do during the school year," Eigenrauch said. "Walking around the building you can see that the students are engaged in what they're doing, that instruction is authentic and that they're proud of what they're doing.
"This is what good education looks like and let's focus on doing it well," he said. "The mark of a great teacher is that they look for teachable moments. We have good kids who want to be successful."
Rising fifth-graders Priscilla Dweh, Neida Robles Velasco and Anahi Menjivar were hard at work on their board games. All three said that they value what the Summer Scholar program is doing for them.
"I like that they teach me new things and how much I learn," Dweh said.
"I like coming back here," Robles Velasco said. "I've been learning a lot to help me get my grades. I've won many awards and I love it here at Emily K."
"I get to learn more," Menjivar added.
Martina Eason is working with rising ninth graders on skills they'll need for high school, ranging from essay writing and research skills to SAT prep and leadership skills.
"They are very strong students," she said. "They have a lot of potential. I get excited when I think about their futures."
ZePablo Agueda-Lopez was busy on a laptop.
"Emily K has helped us a lot academically," Agueda-Lopez said. "We get more literature and mathematics. This is a big positive thing that can help us improve ourselves."
Agueda-Lopez said he hopes to major in engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
One thing Eason's class will have to do is come up with a proposal for what Emily K. students can do to give back to the center.
Since the Summer Scholar program employs project-based learning, it conclude with a fair where students display their work for parents and peers.
"That's a great feeling for us and a great feeling for the kids," Eigenrauch said.
Jerry Lopez, 13, has been with the Emily K. Center since kindergarten. He is so much of a staple that a picture of him hangs in ahallways with other students. Lopez said that the center has been there for him over the years and that he knows he has grown as a result.
"It's helped me a lot with my homework, it gave me a place to stay after school and I've made new friends," he said. "I've learned the Pillars (of the Emily K. Center), honesty, integrity and to have heart towards other people and how to communicate with people.
"I used to be shy but I'm not any more," Lopez explained. "I used to hate to read out loud but now I only like to read out loud. The tutors here are great. The schedule is timed and very thought out. It helps a lot. It can change your life."

Wilson critics responded to Blade edit, not official transcriptWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
WSPD afternoon host Brian Wilson is under fire for comments he supposedly made regarding Toledo Public Schools (TPS) students, but none of his most outspoken critics can say they heard the comments in full context.
In a Jan. 8 Blade story, "WSPD host compares TPS students, monkeys; Wilson denies racism," credited to Tom Troy, it was reported, "radio talk show host's reference to "little monkeys" while talking about students at Toledo Public Schools on Friday generated outrage that the language was insensitive to African-American students" ["and all students" was added to a subsequent version of the online story.]
Troy, who has often been the target of derision on Wilson's show, reported that Wilson said, "certainly, teaching little monkeys to peel bananas and so on and them learning to do it correctly on cue does not mean that they've learned everything except a funny parlor trick."
A full audio file obtained by Toledo Free Press places the comments in the following context:
"Then you've got as far as solving the problems of education in Toledo, you also have to look at the curriculum, which pretty much sucks, dictated by the federal government especially under the No Child Left Behind business, which now has teachers teaching answers to the tests, not concept, not individuality, not entrepreneurialism, not anything like that, of course some of that hasn't been taught for years. But certainly, teaching little monkeys to peel bananas and so on and then doing it correctly on cue, does not mean that they've learned everything except a funny parlor trick.
"Similarly with children, just because you can teach them the answers to what are the capitals of the 50 States in America, that's a fun exercise but it doesn't teach them how to think, doesn't teach them how to be objective, doesn't teach them to be entrepreneurs and individuals and things along that order.
"So the curriculum then becomes an issue and while there are great teachers throughout every school system, there are some losers in TPS and they need to be extracted one way or the other, of course that brings us back around to the teachers unions."
Wilson has maintained he was not referring to TPS students, or any students, as "little monkeys," but making an analogy comparing education standards to teaching tricks to animals through repetition. Wilson told Toledo Free Press on Jan. 9 that he was not talking to media, pending a meeting with Clear Channel officials.
A number of officials have publicly criticized Wilson, but those contacted by Toledo Free Press said they were responding to the 14-second Blade audio edit, not the 5-minute segment of the Jan. 8 program.
Toledo Free Press provided the transcript of the segment to those who had made statements calling for Wilson to apologize and/or asked Clear Channel Communications to discipline him, including TPS Superintendent Jerome Pecko, Toledo Mayor Michael Bell, TPS Board Vice President Lisa Sobecki, President and CEO of the Greater Urban League John C. Jones, Rev. Kevin Bedford of the NAACP and Chris Varwig, past president of TPS Parent Congress.
Bell is in Columbus attending some of the events related to the inauguration of Gov. John Kasich. Jennifer Sorgenfrei, public information officer for the City of Toledo told Toledo Free Press Jan. 9, "The Mayor was not listening to Brian Wilson's show at the time the statement was made. [The mayor's] statement was in direct response to the portion of audio he was provided by The Blade. He said the comment was a lightning rod regardless of the racial tone and he feels the students are the ones who deserve an apology."
TPS Vice President Lisa Sobecki said on Jan. 9 in a phone interview with Toledo Free Press that she had not heard the entire context of what Wilson said, but in talking to those who had, "As a parent and vice president, I am personally offended because I see first hand what our students are taught, they are challenged every day with their critical thinking skills, whatever they decide to do in life, they will have the needed foundation. TPS graduates bring their skills to the workforce and are proud of their educational roots. Both of our recent mayoral candidates were educated at TPS."
She issued an invitation for anyone from Clear Channel to visit any of the TPS schools.
"In my years on the school Board I have never seen anyone from Clear Channel visit our schools to see what staff and students are doing day in and day out," Sobecki said.
Sobecki told Toledo Free Press Jan. 9 she stands by her initial comments and said that if WSPD or Wilson were concerned about the comments being taken out of context, they could have provided that material to the public.
Christine Varwig, past president of the Toledo Public Schools Parent Congress, called for a press conference on Jan. 9 to address comments made by Wilson. Varwig told Toledo Free Press Jan. 9 she first heard about the comments made by Brian Wilson from a Toledo Public Schools (TPS) parent on Jan. 7. She said, "I went back and listened to the podcast. I don't think he was meaning to be racist but his comments were inappropriate, because of the negative comments made about our community, Wilson should apologize."
Sources at WSPD said the segment in question had not been posted to the station's website and was never available on its website except during the streaming of the broadcast. Until the posting by Toledo Free Press, only the 14-second Blade audio file had been posted online.
After being provided a copy of the transcript and informed the segment was not online, Varwig said via e-mail Jan. 9, "I listened to so many podcasts yesterday that I thought that particular one was part of it. If it wasn't up on line than evidently that was not one of the ones I listened to. I have been provided with an accurate assessment by friends that did hear the broadcast so I feel comfortable standing by my earlier comments."
John Jones, president of the Greater Toledo Urban League, said in a Jan. 9 news release that Wilson should apologize and be disciplined, but admitted he had not heard the full broadcast.
"In our attempt to ensure we understood 'the context,' we attempted to listen to the entire show again via podcast from WSPD's website, but ironically it was not available," he said. "Notwithstanding, statements of this manner carry a historically racial context which we find appalling and demeaning, and of which we are confident that Mr. Wilson, WSPD Radio, and Clear Channel are clearly aware."
Jones told Toledo Free Press Jan. 10 after listening to the full audio clip, "It was clear from the audio that Wilson was not directly referencing TPS students as 'little monkeys'. If Brian Wilson had used dolphins or some other animal, we probably would not be having this conversation.
"If he had to do it all over again, I'm sure Wilson would have used different words," Jones said. He said in the complete context of the audio segment there were portions of what Wilson said he agreed with, though the monkey reference was still a concern.
A revised release was sent out by the Greater Toledo Urban League on Jan. 10 that said, "However, we have been able to listen to the entire five minute segment since our original statement was made. The context provided from this review allows us to better understand that Mr. Wilson's actual comments were more of an attempt to critique the system of public education and not a direct shot at our youth."
After several requests for comment from Pecko were made by Toledo Free Press on Jan. 9 and Jan. 10, Patty Mazur, the director of communications of TPS, said "Dr. Pecko is not going to be making any additional comments on either the context of the audio or what was said on Brian Wilson's show today."
The Jan. 7 segment may be listened to in its entirety below:

Over the last three years, the three hottest brands in the U.S. market have been Ford, Hyundai and Audi. Only Audi remains on an upward arc. Ford has stumbled on its MyFordTouch problems. And now Hyundai may find that its false-mileage mistakes will create more of a quagmire than it bargained for.
Already, Interbrand, the respected global brand-marketing research and consulting firm, is saying that Hyundai and Kia's brand equity has been hurt by the fact that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found the sibling Korean companies made false claims of 40 mpg — too high by 1 to 2 mpg — for six of their nameplates. And filing of a proposed federal class-action lawsuit has ensued quickly.
The companies have admitted wrongdoing, moved to change their mileage ratings on stickers and in communications materials about the models in question, and launched a program of reimbursing owners with debit cards for extra gasoline.
All of that is admirable and will play well with Americans. But Hyundai and Kia's troubles may be far from over. This episode could sour U.S. consumers against the brands more significantly and for a longer time than is immediately apparent. Apologies and gas cards may not cut it.
One reason is that the mislabeling of the cars' mileage didn't happen by accident. Someone at the companies strained to deliver fuel-economy ratings that penetrated the 40-mpg ceiling that has become the benchmark for a "high-mileage" vehicle today, because the mileage figures now being shaved by corrected testing procedures just happen to have dropped each of the models slightly below 40 mpg.
Another factor is that there now is lots of competition also pursuing American consumers who want high-mileage small cars. And their brand executives and dealership-sales staffers will have a field day pointing out Kia and Hyundai's dishonesty.
Hyundai, especially, also became the brand that could deliver everything to the American car buyer, including ever-improving amenities and quality touches — nay, even to the luxury level — in its new models. And all of that came even with fuel economy of 40 — er, 38 or 39 — miles a gallon.
Neither is the brand flattered by how its transgressions came to light. It isn't as if Hyundai heard consumers' first complaints about its 40-mpg claims, ruthlessly investigated them and came forward with a mea culpa, a fix — and then the gas cards.
No, Hyundai had to be shamed into the admission by a grass-roots campaign of skepticism about the mileage claims and then suffer the ignominy of a finding of wrongdoing by an EPA audit. In an era when increasing transparency makes it incumbent on all brands to keep their noses cleaner than ever, Hyundai ended up having to be handed an ugly handkerchief.
This is only the second time since 2000 that EPA has required a manufacturer to re-label a vehicle's fuel economy and, to date, involves the largest number of models from the same automaker that had to be corrected.
And there's one more thing. In a sense, Hyundai may have been uniquely able to create a sense of — for lack of a better term — betrayal among American auto consumers.
That is because Hyundai scored so big three years ago by showing Americans that it identified with their financial pain during the depths of the Great Recession. At that time, Hyundai announced its "Assurance" incentive program with great fanfare during the Super Bowl telecast in 2009, promising that the brand would take back a newly purchased Hyundai if the buyer subsequently lost his or her job.
With the falsification episode, Hyundai probably squandered much of the remnant of goodwill from Assurance that still may have been a factor in its continued success in the U.S. market.

I know it's irrational, but I get a little embarrassed ordering anything with ginger in it. Gingerbread lattes, muffins, biscuits… I imagine the person serving thinking 'lol… it's because she's ginger isn't it!' Anyway… regardless of my insanity or hair colour, these gingerbread cookies are a much better option for me – I can eat them without going as red as my hair, and the ingredients are pretty darn healthy. Adapted from this recipe from Paleo Persuasion.
Paleo Gingerbread Cookies (gluten free, dairy free)
Makes 9 small cookies or 6 hearty ones
- 1 cup (150 g) almond flour (can sub this for your favourite gluten free flour)
- 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses
- 3 tbsp butter OR coconut oil, melted
- 1 t ginger (you could use fresh grated, I used powder)
- 1 t ground cinnamon
- 1/2 t ground nutmeg
- 1/2 t ground cloves
- 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1 1/2 t vanilla extract
- 1/4 t sea salt
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C/Gas Mark 4), grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. If your coconut oil needs melting, do so (I melted my molasses with it as it's too thick out of the jar)
4. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly, adding a little water (1-3 t) if the dough is a little dry.
5. Form dough into cookie shapes and pop them on a well greased or lined baking pan.
6. Bake for 10 minutes, and try to let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
7. Devour with some warm coconut milk!
Do you like gingerbread?
Is there anything you feel irrationally awkward ordering?

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — A new exhibit titled "Stitch Wizardry" featuring the textile work of artist Sue King will be opening at the French Art Colony (FAC) on Friday, Nov. 2.
Continuing through Nov. 25, the display of King's work at the FAC features several different pieces constructed of a variety of materials including cottons, denim, wool, viscose, velour, re-purposed clothing, many which are enhanced with various dyes and paints, as well as beads.
Employed as a social worker and living in Lancaster, Ohio, King grew up on a small farm in central Ohio and learned to embroider and sew from her mother. Reportedly, King loved the beauty and textural quality of fabrics and began to make quilts, but then became bored with the traditional patterns.
As with viewing any artist's work, one wonders what image or inspiration King draws from when working on her textile pieces. King does briefly explain her ideas behind her art in the FAC's exhibit, and her statement includes the following:
Always fascinated by history and enthralled with old photographs, my work is often a dialog with the past. My textile pieces call forth the ghost into the room, searching for a way to connect our present condition with the human experience of those who came before. As a clinical social worker, I am ever searching for connections with others: the emotions and commonalities of experience binding us together and defining what it means to be human. The eyes of the human face often betray the mask people present to the world at large. Through portraiture, I seek to penetrate this facade and expose the emotion hidden from view.
FAC gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and 1-5 p.m. on Sunday.
