Konop to stay on LCIC search committeeWritten by Justin R. Kalmes | | email@example.com
Commissioner Ben Konop sees no conflict in leading the search to find the Lucas County Improvement Corporation's (LCIC) next CEO despite his attempts to end the county's relationship with the economic development agency.
"I'm willing to keep up the fight to bring change and accountability to the agency," said Konop, who heads the 18-member team to find a permanent replacement to lead the LCIC.
"If I just step down, we're just going to get more of the same," he said.
The search committee should submit for approval the name of one candidate to the LCIC's executive committee to replace Matt Sapara, the agency's interim director, Konop said. Should that not happen, Konop said he does not want to be part of the hiring process, even hinting at the possibility of moving to disband the search committee.
"I don't think the LCIC's track record should allow it to again pick its own CEO using taxpayers' dollars," he said.
However, at least one member of the search committee said he feels the commissioner has delayed finding a new CEO for the LCIC by constantly requesting information from the agency and failing to schedule meetings to identify candidates for the position.
"I think it's been delayed significantly beyond what I consider to be acceptable," said Tom Uhler, a member of the search team and the LCIC executive committee. "We've just not had meetings to really consummate the action of going through the search process."
Konop scheduled a search committee meeting for April 23, but was forced to cancel it because proper notice was not given to comply with the Ohio Open Meetings Act. At press time, another meeting was set for April 28.
Uhler, president of environmental testing firm TTL Associates Inc., said he sees Konop's open criticism as a conflict.
"It's hard to imagine [Konop] can criticize the organization he's in charge of leading the search for a new leader," Uhler said.
Uhler accused Konop of trying to rescind the LCIC executive committee of its power to select the organization's next head.
"It's up to the board to make that selection," Uhler said.
Joel P. Epstein of Waverly Partners LLC, the firm the LCIC commissioned to conduct the CEO search, said his company would identify perspective candidates it would recommend for the search committee's review. Epstein said his firm does not comment on ongoing searches.
Konop said because the committee that selected the LCIC's last permanent CEO, Shawn Ferguson, include five board members, the current search team should be able to operate as independently as possible. Ferguson resigned from his position in October to avoid being fired.
"The whole idea of me being on the search committee was to bring some change to the agency and new direction," he said.
Konop continues to closely monitor the LCIC because county tax dollars fund most of the agency's approximately $670,000 budget for 2008, he said. Though his fellow commissioners — Democrats Pete Gerken and Tina Skeldon Wozniak — voted against his resolution to sever the county's ties to the LCIC, Konop said he believes he shares the public's sentiment.
"The public is against continued taxpayer subsidization of the LCIC," Konop said. "I don't sense the public feels I should just go with the flow, because the flow hasn't been going too well for Lucas County," he said.
Another search committee member, Steven Weathers, president and CEO of the Regional Growth Partnership, said he believes top candidates for the job should want to meet with the area's most vocal politicians, Konop included. He said success in the position would be found by learning to work with local political leaders while reaching economic development goals.
"Whenever you get public money, there's politics," Weathers said.
Konop said he's trying to break the status quo that has hindered the region's economic development efforts.
"I wouldn't be living up to my oath of office if I let [the LCIC] hire some unqualified political friend," he said.

objectives of Ashley Hall's Community Action requirement are manifold:
to raise student consciousness of issues facing their community, to
provide first-hand engagement with those issues by introducing them to
organizations and programs developed to address those issues, to
challenge student assumptions and preconceptions, to enlarge students'
capacity for sympathetic understudying of the needs of others, to
initiate and to cultivate the habit of volunteering service to help
alleviate those needs. While it is obviously oxymoronic to mandate
volunteerism, it is nonetheless true that Community Action obligations
are often the first opportunity many young people have to participate in
a meaningful way with service organizations. Moreover, give the
confusing array of potential volunteer opportunities, students benefit
from having their options more clearly defined and their services more
efficiently deployed. We know, too, that none of us can predict what
experience will awaken us to the role we might play in providing
assistance to those less fortunate than ourselves.

Outdoor Dining
The Victoria Day long weekend is almost here, and depending on what Mother Nature decides, we could be spending it indoors or out. Regardless of what happens, I'll likely still be dreaming of picturesque outdoor settings. (I blame Pinterest and galleries like this one.) These photos show idyllic entertaining environments, but they still feature elements that many of us can try at home, too.
Okay, so we don't all have backyards looking onto rolling hills in the countryside, but you can create a similar look with any picnic table. A tablecloth and freshly cut blooms from your own garden will give a park table a homey feel.
Scroll-like chairs make for a very pretty setting. Anthropologie's La Versha chairs have similar, whimsical styles, but come in bright colours.
Now, how many of you have a classic parasol over your outdoor table? I do, and it's not as nice as this one, but I can make it more chic by hanging lightweight votives from the supporting bars (on a day free of wind, please!). Would look so lovely on a summer's eve. Also, don't let the umbrella stop you from using a tablecloth. Crate & Barrel carries tablecloths with snaps that fit around the pole — sort of like a Christmas tree skirt. Clever!
For the super handy, stick wood poles into the ground to form a tent-shape above the table. Hang lanterns from the centre or leave as is. I'm thinking about using two of my family's fold-away work tables (you know the kind) to create a similar look. Once covered with fabric, no one will notice what's underneath. Spray mismatched chairs in a solid colour for unity.
Where did that hutch come from? And who lugged all this furniture outside? I'm not sure myself, but what I really like here are the lanterns. They are super cheap and can be hung from tree branches with or without lights inside. Mix different sizes, shapes or colours, and hang with wide ribbon.
Yellow can be so cheerful. Bold bistro chairs, a crisp white tablecloth, fresh blooms and a vase of lemons brighten up this patio. Seed packets hung with clothespins add more hits of the sunny hue.
Using floor cushions on top of a blanket is great if you're low on chairs. Plus, they look quite comfy.
Layering flat woven rugs has an artsy feel to it. You can find cheaper used ones at flea markets and online through sites like Craigslist.
Fabrics like burlap or linen combined with mismatched vases and containers are charming and rustic. Cut fabric to the size you need and fray the ends by pulling off individual strands for a cheap no-sew alternative.
Now, let's hope it doesn't rain this weekend! For more inspiring outdoor settings, visit our Gorgeous Gardens photo gallery and take a look at these patios.

The last time I attended a cheerleader competition the boys' state tournament was still being played in Louisville. I think it was the year that Jeff Lamp and Lee Raker played for Ballard, which would have been 1977. They both went on to play for the University of Virginia, but that is another story.
Anyway, it has been a long time and that was the only competition that I have been to ever.
So, the competition Sunday on the Hilltop was something new for me and I found it quite interesting.
In what Coach Riegel thought may have been the best match of the year, the Harrison County Thorobreds wrestling team defeated Paul Lawrence Dunbar 44-26 Wednesday night.
This was Senior Night for wrestlers Chris Brunker, Shaun Lenz, Josh Moss and Brett Williams and it was a real team effort.
The match started with the heavyweights and Corey Bailey started the evening out right with a very smart match and a 2-0 overtime win.

The Fillies never lead Monday night as Clark County took advantage of 25 Harrison County turnovers to win 49-42.
The game was only tied at 2-2 as the Cardinals jumped out to a 15-4 lead near the end of the first period. Harrison County scored the last six points of the quarter to cut the lead to five at 15-10.
The second period saw Clark County lead by as many as 13 points before the Fillies again cut it to nine at the half, 27-18. Neither team really played inspired ball as they both shot poorly and made multiple turnovers.
While Animal Control Officer Allen Fryman likes seeing dogs and cats find a good home, he is also responsible for taking dogs and cats out of homes that are not so good.
"Right now, the worst thing we're seeing is neglect," Fryman said. "It's people that are just not taking care of them, period."
Currently five cruelty cases await rulings in Harrison County court.

The only way Dustin Hoffman can get work as an actor is to become a woman, which he does to get a role on a soap opera. At first, it is only temporary, but after his character improves the show greatly, they sign him on for a longer stint. When he falls for co-star Jessica Lange (who won a supporting Oscar for her role as a lonely single-mother and actress), he needs to stop the charade…but can he? Directed by Sidney Pollack, who has a small role in the film, as well as a young Bill Murray, who steals his scenes with his dry, deadpan humor.

Product description
There is no other published book in English studying the constitution of the Roman Republic as a whole. Yet the Greek historian Polybius believed that the constitution was a fundamental cause of the exponential growth of Rome's empire. He regarded the Republic as unusual in two respects: first, because it functioned so well despite being a mix of monarchy, oligarchy and democracy; secondly, because the constitution was the product of natural evolution rather than the ideals of a lawgiver. Even if historians now seek more widely for the causes of Rome's rise to power, the importance and influence of her political institutions remains. The reasons for Rome's power are both complex, on account of the mix of elements, and flexible, inasmuch as they were not founded on written statutes but on unwritten traditions reinterpreted by successive generations. Knowledge of Rome's political institutions is essential both for ancient historians and for those who study the contribution of Rome to the republican tradition of political thought from the Middle Ages to the revolutions inspired by the Enlightenment.

Ellen Kullman
The President and the Lehigh University Board of Trustees are pleased to announce the conferring of honorary degrees to four extraordinary individuals at Commencement exercises on May 23, 2011.
The Chair and CEO of E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company, Ellen Kullman, recently named one of the most powerful women in the country by Forbes and Fortune magazines, will address the graduating class of 2011 at the university's 143rd Commencement ceremony and receive the Doctor of Engineering honorary degree.
Kullman was a 20-year veteran of DuPont when she was named CEO in January 2009. She is the 19th executive to lead the company in its 208-year history, and the first woman to lead a major public U.S. chemical firm. She previously served as DuPont's president and executive vice president and as a member of its office of the chief executive.
The other honorary degree recipients are David Henry Hwang, the contemporary American playwright who wrote the highly acclaimed M. Butterfly; Rear Admiral Charles R. Kubic '72, Commander of the Third Naval Construction Brigade in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Commander of the Pacific Division's Naval Facilities Engineering Command; and Rosemary Radford Ruether, a pioneer Christian feminist theologian who studies modern feminist theology and liberation theology, particularly in Palestine and Latin America.
Hwang will receive a Doctor of Letters honorary degree. Kubic will be awarded a Doctor of Engineering honorary degree, and Ruether will receive a Doctor of Divinity honorary degree.
Ruether will also deliver the baccalaureate address in Packer Memorial Church on Sunday, May 22.
'Remarkable accomplishments'
Keith Gardiner, professor of industrial and systems engineering, director of the Center for Manufacturing Systems Engineering and chair of the Faculty Honorary Degrees Committee, said the nominees "exhibited careers that are outstanding examples to motivate members of the graduating class."
Lehigh President Alice Gast said the honorees' "remarkable accomplishments" will inspire the graduating class and the Lehigh community.
"Lehigh University bestows honorary degrees to honor exceptionally accomplished individuals who are true leaders in their fields and who exhibit the integrity, intelligence and distinction fitting of an honorary degree. We are pleased to be recognizing this year's recipients in this way as they epitomize our aspirations for our graduates. They motivate us to learn from their admirable example." Exploring race and identity
Hwang, considered a pioneering Asian-American dramatist, writes plays which powerfully explore race and identity on the American stage. His work has sparked countless conversations about the role of Asian-Americans in the modern world. His first play was the OBIE Award-winning FOB. He achieved greater acclaim through M. Butterfly, which won the 1988 Tony Award for Best Play (making him the first Asian-American to receive this honor), Drama Desk Award, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Play. It was also his second play to be a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama. The success of that play prompted Hwang to explore innovative work in film, opera and musical theatre.
Hwang is a graduate of Stanford University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in English. He also studied at the Yale School of Drama.
A lifetime of service
Kubic earned a B.S. and M.S. from Lehigh University, both in civil engineering. He also graduated from the Advanced Management Program at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
He received his commission in the Civil Engineer Corps in 1972. After serving in Civil Engineering and Public Works roles, he was selected as a White House Fellow in 1985 and served as senior policy analyst for President Reagan's Domestic Policy Council. He was later assigned to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, where he served as director of the Strategic Programs Office and program coordinator for the Strategic Homeporting and Trident military construction programs. In 2002, he was appointed Commander of the First Naval Construction Division/Naval Construction Forces for the U.S. military. His responsibilities included coordination of battlefield engineering efforts for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Rear Admiral Kubic's awards include the Legion of Merit, Defense Meritorious and Meritorious Service medals, the Navy Commendation and Achievement medals, the Armed Forces Expeditionary medal, and the National Defense, Vietnam, Armed Forces, and Humanitarian Service medals.
A pioneering theologian
This year's baccalaureate speaker, Ruether, a visiting professor of feminist theology at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University, is the author of many books on feminism, the Bible and Christianity. Her book, Sexism and God-Talk, is considered a classic in feminist theology. She has also written and edited nearly 20 books and hundreds of articles and reviews in her career as scholar, teacher and activist.
She holds a B.A. in philosophy from Scripps College, and an M.A. in ancient history and Ph.D. in classics and patristics from Claremont Graduate School.

I read he won't risk the season on this. He won't play them til he hears from the NCAA.
I agree with the article. if the Vikings wanted a better quarterback here is a shot in the dark DRAFT ONE instead going after a wishy washy 40 yr old qb. Let's keep in the mind these are the same clowns who pulled off the Hershel Walker trade. As Dr. Phil would say, how did that work out for you?
Partly because he didn't take some of the funds alloted to our state.
Amen Cavs82 There is a saying that goes if you did a ditch, you better dig two cause one of them could be for you.
Michael at his peak was the best but he was a very troubled soul.
I agree with someone who said they are charging way too much for acts that were popular 20 years ago and this year it were acts that were popular 30 years ago. Who is going to want to spend that kind of cash on REO Speedwagon? Give me a break! Well at lest we stil have the Crawfish Boil in May. Those people know what they are doing and they have better acts.
Auburn fans need to realize the NCAA can coming knocking on you door just as quickly as they did in Tuscaloosa. Secondary violations or not, they seem to be getting back to the business of punishing violaters so I'd watch my step too if I were you guys.
My question to the Auburn nation is why do you care? We aren't jumping up and down because we got 3 more years of probabtion and as someone has already pointed out,that will be appealled, but we are happy that our domination over you will continue most likely for awhile and that you can't do anything about it. So why do you care? You guys need to be more concerned about the NCAA knocking at your door because from what Slive has said, all this self reported violations is getting old with him.
I think it's shame that AU fans have to count on the NCAA to nail Alabama then themselves. If you are an Auburn fan wouldn't the wins be sweeter if Alabama is at the top of their game and you at the top of yours instead of relying on the infractions committee to take care of us for you? Beating Auburn is far more sweeter when they are at the top of their game. Taking away games still doesn't take away results.
I think that is very cool of the kid and when he signs in the fall with us, he'll be glad he came here lol How does Saban do it?
They need to get their -ss whupped just like the guy who raped that little girl in Philly. I hope they'll be "punished" in prison.
Uat1au6 win a championship or two then talk...
How many kicks did the AU kicker make against Alabama? Um can you say ZERO.
Trust me if Nick Saban came out tomorrow and wanted to ban Old South Day because it hurts his recruiting, most of these people defending it would sing a different tune and it wouldn't be Dixie.
As a former student and graduate of the University who is black, I remember when I was there in the 90's when they had the infamous who rides the bus party when some white students dressed up in black face with basketballs under their shirts to pretend like they were black. I also remember the same time I was there when we had our first black homecoming queen and she was booed at halftime of a football game.
What's offensive is some of these kids like back in the 90's, just don't get it. If you want to continue this Old South stuff, do it off campus. Why in the world would you stopped in front of a black sorority unless it was to make some kind of statement?
I hear some folks complain all the time that we as southerners get a bad rap by the media and we wonder why? Maybe because although this is 2009 we still have kids walking around southern campuses in conferderate uniforms and hoop dresses to celebrate their so-called "heritage". Maybe it's because the solid south all voted for McCain. Maybe it's because there are still some people who think Kwaza, black history month and MLK Day is racist.
How about this, how about we celeberate a day of togetherness rather celebrating a time which seperated us.
You know what makes me proud? That despite the fact that we are a fairly conservative state, we do have some very liberal and open-minded people here. I didn't think so for a long time, but despite what some others say about us, times have and are changing here and that's a good thing. :)
Coach Saban was right. Lord knows all us including players were down after the SEC Championship game because we were so close to playing for a national championship. But I love the fact that Coach is challenging his players by asking how bad do they want this cause this could be the year. Oh and to all you Aubies, or I like to refer to you as haters if you weren't so concerned about us, then why bother being on our forum and hoping and wishing that the NCAA would come down on us and when it doesn't happen, then what? I guess it will be like the ground hog seeing its shadow, several more losing seasons to come. :)
The Braves are MY team as well and I hate they won't be broadcasting here. And believe me when I say anybody who has lived here most of their lives know most of the things they say about Bham is TRUE.
I feel sorry for the kids but dude the message is clear, play a better schedule that's what killed you in the end. Alabama got that message sent to them years ago and Gottfried improved the schedule and they got in a few years ago with a 17-13 record because of whom they played.
Amen people need stop blaming immigrants for this and start realizing the mistake was made eight years ago when you people decided to put that idiot from Texas in office. You want to blame everyone but yourself for f-ing up the country by putting that man in office.

We've got a secret admirer!! Okay, so it's not what you think... Somebody has been dropping stuff off at the clinic for the last few days for us! So far we've got a new bed, some new toys, the staff took the dog toys home cause we can't do anything with those things, and some new food dishes! Okay so the food dishes are those unlimited food bowls which we won't be using (cause we're on a diet...) but it's the thought that counts right?

Sorry about not writing for a while, but you can blame the food provider cause she got all caught up in kittens, MOL. She is also at the clinic with us a lot and she doesn't come on Catster at work since no one else knows about it. Yes, it is our secret, the staff will never know how many friends we really have.

Wildfires are raging in arid Arizona. The rain just won't stop in Charleston.
But the two places share a painful bond: the devastating loss of brave firefighters.
Nineteen firefighters died in Arizona on Sunday as the wildfire they were battling trapped them near Yarnell, a town about 80 miles northwest of Phoenix.
The elite, highly trained squad was known as the Granite Mountain Hotshots.
In Charleston, it was just over six years ago that nine members of the Charleston Fire Department were killed while battling a fire at the Sofa Super Store on Highway 17 South. The community continues to feel the pain of their loss.
Officials still aren't sure just what went wrong in Arizona.
They believe the men had put up fire shelters, a tent-like safety device designed to deflect heat and trap breathable air, in a last-ditch effort to survive. But a full investigation will take time.
Charleston knows the agony of waiting for questions to be answered — and the agony of getting the answers.
The Charleston Nine's deaths were the impetus for an in-depth assessment of the department, its equipment, training and regulations. It eventually led to safety and efficiency improvements and personnel changes.
Perhaps there are tough lessons to learn in Arizona also. Or perhaps, as one official said, it was simply a "perfect storm" that killed those firefighters, who each had undergone rigorous training.
They had to pass a test carrying a work pack and running 1.5 miles in 10 minutes 35 seconds, and complete 40 sit-ups in 60 seconds, 25 push-ups in 60 seconds and seven pull-ups.
They were skilled at wildfires — at knowing how to sense what a fire would do and how to battle it.
The Charleston Nine were skilled at fighting fires in buildings to keep them from spreading and to keep people safe.
But the most defining similarity among these and all firefighters is courage. They race into burning buildings. They put themselves in the way of raging brush fires. They see a World Trade Center Tower crippled by a terrorist-driven airplane and they don't hesitate. They go in, 343 of them sacrificing their own lives while trying to help.
Experts have said the current fire season could be one of the worst on record.
But it goes without saying that firefighters in Arizona won't be shrinking back after their colleagues' deaths.
They will be even more determined to stop the raging fires to honor the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and then to mourn their friends' deaths.
It's what firefighters do.
And we in Charleston, like people in Arizona, New York City and the rest of the country, are profoundly grateful that it is.

Eileen Fisher Motor Boots 77 77
Best. Boots. Ever Soft, supple, rich leather. Comfortable right out of the box. Decent arch support. Got them on sale, so the value is excellent. I've wanted to purchase these boots for years, and finally took the plunge. Don't know why I waited. I will have these until they fall apart in tatters. June 5, 2015
Very Nice Boot I purchased these EF boots on sale. I wanted the black but by time I got around to ordering them later in the day they were gone! I ordered the brown and kept thinking how I wanted the black. To be honest I had every intention of returning them when I got them, but the day came when they arrived. The color brown is absolutely gorgeous and the fit is great! I love everything about this boot! I had no problem whatsoever putting them on! I am so glad I ordered the brown! Like they say, brown is the new black! May 28, 2015
Stylish, comfortable Boot i ordered these boots in black. They are not a traditional motorcycle boot, but are very stylish for this 50 something professional. They are made from quality texturized leather. I have high arches, and they were tight across my the top of my feet at first, but upon wearing, quickly stretched enough for comfort. I bought these on sale and they are a good value at the sale price. I would not have ordered at full price. April 11, 2015
go everywhere boots I love these boots - they're comfortable, sophisticated looking with a bit of edginess, and reasonably priced for the level of quality. I can where them to work or in more casual settings, with skirts, leggings, jeans etc. SO glad I bought them! March 27, 2015
All time favorite boot! Love these boots. The leather is gorgeous and soft. They are streamlined and not too slouchy, and I love the lower height. I wear them year round, with little black dresses, jeans, anything! They have worn extremely well, and are very well made. March 27, 2015
Very comfortable and soft I purchased this boot and loved it…however it ripped in the back seam. I contacted Garnet Hill and they sent me a new pair. I love these boots because they are soft and comfortable. I hope these hold up because I do really like them. January 4, 2015

how do these boots run wrt width? will they fit a person with a wider foot? Also, they do not appear to have a zipper; is that correct?
Age: 35-44
Gender: Female
3 years, 9 months ago
Answer:They are a little narrower in the toe area. I have foot problems and feel they are going to work for me. The leather is very supple and will stretch somewhat. They do have a zipper that runs from mid calf to toe. I could not have put them on without. I have a medium width foot but the start of bunions which hurt with pressure. I am sure my boots are going to work for me. Love them!

Top honours for estate agency as it celebrates its first year
Posted: February 11, 2013|
AN ESTATE agent who began his franchise from scratch at the start of last year has been voted the best in the multi-award winning company he represents after an exceptionally strong year.
Rob Norton, who set up the Goodchilds agency in Piccadilly, Hanley, last January, was delighted to be voted the best franchisee at the recent end-of-year meeting staged for all the 15 offices in the business which stretches from Milton Keynes to Stoke-on-Trent.
Goodchilds itself recently won the Best Estate Agency Franchise at The Estate Agency of the Year Awards held by The Sunday Times newspaper and sponsored by Zoopla Property Group. More than 5,000 estate agents entered the annual competition which is now in its 10th year and is regarded in the industry as one of the toughest to win.
A panel of industry experts assess the initial entry submissions before doing an in-depth review of the entrants which includes hundreds of telephone interviews and mystery shopping exercises and the whole judging process is overseen by The Property Ombudsman, Christopher Hamer.
Now Rob says he is proud to have been voted the best of the best. Last year he beat his first year sales targets by 35 per cent and lettings by 20 per cent. His targets were based on figures achieved by other, established Goodchilds outlets, and he surpassed all expectations.
He says: "Goodchilds recently had our end of year targets meeting and awards and I was awarded the best franchisee for last year which is a big feat because it was my first year! Since we are currently the Gold award winners for the best franchised company in the country too I am extremely proud.''
Rob has also got 2013 off to a good start with a record month. and he is one of several agents reporting an increase in business last month, saying: "I have had a record month for sales and there seems to have been a big boost at the start of the year.''

Standout Defender Emily Grossman Chooses OCU
ALLIANCE, OH - Defensive standount Emily Grossman has signed a letter of intent to play soccer at Ohio Christian University. Grossman played defense at Marlington High School under the direction of Head Coach Justin Woods.

"Emily is an aggressive and strong defender," commented OCU Head Coach Josh Murton. "She is raw but has the ability to grow fast and we look for her to make an immediate impact. She has a great work ethic and a solid family background so we are excited to have her on this team."

Do you have sores you believe are ringworms? Are they getting worse every day? Now is the time to stop your suffering with the best solution in the medical industry. Welcome to DermaTechRx! We can cure your ringworm symptoms at once and bring back active intimacy and physical contact with your friends and especially family.
So what is the thing called "human ringworm"? The ringworm is an infectious fungus that grows on your hair, skin and nails. It spreads into a circle that leaves the skin on the inside of the circle appearing to be normal and the skin that forms the outer circle seems to be red and flaking. The ringworm can be transmitted. It can acquire by touching a person who has a fungal infection or from animals that have ringworms. It is also a zoonotic fungus that is easily spread from animals to humans. You can also get it from the locker rooms, damp surfaces, the floors of the public shower and from the objects that an infected individual has touched.
Here are some of the usual symptoms of ringworm. Please read thoroughly and examine yourself. You might have one of these symptoms. You need to stop its scattering before it's too late. The ringworm symptoms differ on the area of infection. It can grow on your scalp, body, foot, nails and groin area.
- On your body - the red round of the infected areas feels very itchy.
- On your foot - it can cause dry, flaking and cracking skin which is sometimes associated with athlete's foot.
- On your scalp - it begin as a very small pimple that becomes bigger. Usually it leaves bald patches on your scalp.
- On the groin – this area is very itchy. Sometimes they call it as Jock Itch.
- On the nails – it will cause a thickening of the nail bed, fragility, discoloration and sometimes breakdown of the nail.
More often than not, the fungus on your skin and
scalp shows 4 to 10 days and 10 to 14 days respectively after contact. If you have one of these signs, you certainly need our expertise. But, you
must also follow several steps to avoid these things to happen. If you have pets and they are infected with ringworm, they should be treated
immediately. If not, it will cause you to get re- infected with ringworm. In your house, you must alter air filters in your forced areas in order
to catch the ringworm spores. You must also use a filter that is rated for fine dust and allergies. Always use a high grade hospital disinfectant
in cleaning you house. It is also necessary to wash your linens and clothes in hot water and bleach or borax to kill the spores. After each vacuum,
you must also dispose the bag then spray it with sanitizer.
We at DermaTechRx are committed in bringing you the best solution and cure to your ringworm dilemmas. Now, you can take away all your worries because the answers are within your reach. We have products that will surely treat your ringworm and are very safe to use. We also have something for your pets.

When Dr. Smith was hired in 2003, her salary was $155,000.
At that time she was also provided with "an automobile, credit card, personal computer and $15,000 to relocate from Monroe County." Source: http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2003-12-10/news/0312100032_1_monroe-county-new-superintendent-volusia
So, how is that she is earning about $16,000 more ten years later plus the annuity and all the other perks? Where were the School Board Members? Why did they allow this?
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?

Attorneys for the United States
Plaintiff, COMPLAINT
Maui County
The United States of America alleges:
1. This action is brought by the United States to enforce the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 ("RLUIPA"), 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc et seq.
2. This Court has jurisdiction over this action under 28 U.S.C. § 1345.
3. Venue is proper because the claims alleged herein arose in the District of Hawai' i. 28 U.S.C. § 1391.
4. Under the Maui County Code, Defendant Maui Planning Commission has authority to regulate and restrict the use of land and structures within its borders, including granting special land use permits for properties of less than 15 acres.
5. For purposes of RLUIPA, the Defendant constitutes a "government." 42 U.S.C. §2000cc-5(4)(A)(ii).
6. Hale O Kaula Church is a nonprofit, Hawai' i corporation. It has operated a church and held public worship services in the County of Maui, Hawai' i since 1960. Hale O Kaula means "House of the Prophets." It has approximately sixty members who live in and around Pukalani, County of Maui, Hawai' i.
7. The "Joseph Ministry" is one of the core practices of the Hale O Kaula Church's mission. The Joseph Ministry requires the Church to "provide sustenance from a life enriched environment that preserves God's people alive and healthy." Key functions to achieve this mission include: food management, production, storage and distribution; ecosystem management; soil restoration, gardening, greenhouse, orchard and permaculture management, which emphasize the enrichment of local ecosystems through the use of perennial agriculture; and holistic health and healing.
8. The Hale O Kaula Church usually holds two religious services a week: one during the week (from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and one on Sunday morning (from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.). The mid-week attendance is roughly ten members and the Sunday attendance is roughly forty members, including children. There are occasional administrative meetings throughout the week averaging 10 attendees. Saturdays are typically "work days" where members work on agricultural projects and maintain structures and landscaping on the land.
9. For purposes of RLUIPA, Hale O Kaula Church constitutes a "religious assembly or institution."
10. Currently, the majority of the Hale O Kaula Church's religious activities are conducted in a small building on a parcel of land located in Haiku, Maui. The Haiku property is less than one-half acre in size and the facility is inadequate to meet the Church's current needs.
11. In order to continue and to expand its facilities and practice of the Joseph Ministry, the Hale O Kaula Church purchased 5.85 acres of land in Pukalani in 1990. The Pukalani property is located within the State Agricultural District on the County's land use map and is zoned Agriculture in accordance with Maui County Code, §19.30A. The Pukalani property is located near the end of Anuhea Place, a private residential road, and contains a residence, an agricultural building, a shade house and a generator building.
12. On December 20, 1999, Hale O Kaula Church submitted a Special Use Permit application to the Defendant seeking to use the existing agricultural building on the Pukalani property for religious activities and to construct a second floor to that structure that would be used for church services, a library, offices and storage.
13. For purposes of RLUIPA, the proposed use of the existing structure and the proposed second floor addition for church services constitute "religious exercise." 42 U.S.C. §2000cc-5(7)(A)-(B).
14. Pursuant to Section 205-6(a) of the Hawai' i Revised Statute, a county planning commission is authorized to permit certain "unusual and reasonable uses within agricultural and rural districts other than those for which the district is classified."
15. The State Land Use Commission's rules, Section 15-15-95(b), allow a special use permit to be issued for "certain 'unusual and reasonable' uses within agricultural and rural districts." There are five guidelines for determining whether an "unusual and reasonable use" should be allowed by special permit:
16. The Department of Planning for the County of Maui issued a Report to the Maui Planning Commission regarding Hale O Kaula's application. The Report concluded that the applicant's proposed use is consistent with the County's General Plan objective and policies. The Report further indicated that:
17. On April 30, 2001, Maui Planning Commission Hearing Officer, Judith Neustadter Fuqua recommended denial of the Hale O Kaula Church's application for a Special Use Permit, finding that the use of the subject property as sought by the Church was not an "unusual and reasonable use" under the relevant codes and rules. She found that the use of the Subject Property sought by the Church would adversely affect the properties along Anuhea Place by creating unacceptable levels of traffic and noise in an isolated agricultural neighborhood. In addition, she found that the use of the Subject Property sought by the Church would burden public agencies to provide water, police, and fire protection.
18. On June 27, 2001, the Maui Planning Commission adopted Hearing Officer Fuqua's recommendations and unanimously voted to deny Hale O Kaula Church's special use permit application.
19. Between 1976 and 1996, the Defendant has granted special use permits to other denominational churches in districts zoned for agricultural use in Maui County.
20. Other entities or activities that have greater than or equal impact on the levels of traffic and noise and/or burden on public agencies are either permitted as of right or regularly granted special use permits by the Defendant.
21. For purposes of RLUIPA, the Defendant's denial of a special use permit to the Church constitutes "land use regulation[s]." 42 U.S.C. §2000cc-5(5).
22. The Defendant's denial of the Church's special use permit application violates Section (2)(a)(1) of RLUIPA. 42 U.S.C. 2000cc(a)(1).
23. The Defendant's denial of the Church's special use permit application constitutes the imposition or implementation of a land use regulation that discriminated, and continues to discriminate, against Hale O Kaula Church on the basis of religion or religious denomination in violation of Section 2(b)(2) of RLUIPA. 42 U.S.C. §2000cc(b)(2).
WHEREFORE, the United States prays that the court enter an ORDER that:
1. Declares that the defendants' policies and practices, as alleged herein, violate RLUIPA; and
2. Enjoins the defendant, its officers, employees, agents, successors and all other persons in active concert or participation with it, from (a) applying its laws in a manner that substantially burdens Hale O Kaula Church's religious exercise and (b) discriminating against Hale O Kaula Church on the basis of religion or religious denomination.
The United States further prays for such additional relief as the interests of justice may require.

Elizabeth Walters: I believe that the education that can be received in public schools is the heart of the American dream.I believe that instead of starving those schools, we should work to improve them.
Sarah Palin: Professor of Freedom?
Ron Wolff: I suggest that it is not necessary to postulate bias against conservatives as the reason for the preponderance of liberals in academia. The simpler answer is that conservatives (with exceptions! I don't want to over-generalize!) are less able (or at least less inclined) to engage in critical thinking worthy of an academic environment.
High Stakes Teaching: The Value-Added Sham
Sikivu Hutchinson: The value-added sham won't help parents and communities of color struggling to achieve educational equity for youth who have already been intuitively assigned a jail cell by a public school culture marching in lockstep with the teach to the test ethos.
Congress Must Make Sure Mexico Deals with Its Economic Problems
Tracy Emblem: California Congressman Brian Bilbray, Chair of the Immigration Reform Committee, and former FAIR lobbyist, offers no real solutions to the immigration debate. In response to Arizona's new radical immigration bill, Bilbray supported its legality and explained that police could spot illegal immigrants merely by the way they dress. His remarks demonstrate a lack of critical thinking skills necessary for leadership in Congress on complex, human, social and economic issues.
