The School of the Arts senior who used the "n word" in a tweet about a black classmate went to the prom on Saturday night, and she'll be walking across the graduation stage on June 6 to receive her diploma.
A quorum of the Charleston County School Board told Ashley Patrick last week that she couldn't do either, but that changed over the weekend.
"I'm thankful to the board for stepping in so the end of her senior year isn't completely ruined," said her attorney, Dwayne Green. "Once prom and graduation are gone, you can't get those back. I'm really happy that they gave her the chance to go."
Patrick has been in trouble for tweeting that if one of her black classmates "makes one more got damn remark in Roger's class tomorrow ... (expletive) will drop." She posted a link to a picture of a young white girl squeezing her eyes shut and crossing her fingers. The text on the photo read "I wish a nigga would."
Patrick was suspended for five days, and the district administration wanted to remove her from School of the Arts and send her to Twilight, a computer-based alternative program for students who misbehave.
The constituent school board overturned the district's recommendation and allowed Patrick to say at School of the Arts on strict probation, which includes no extracurricular activities.
Patrick appealed the case to the county school board, which voted to uphold the constituent school board's decision.
The district administration told the county school board both graduation and prom were considered "extracurricular activities." But James Perry Jr., the constituent board chairman, said his board never intended for Patrick to miss graduation or prom.
County Board Vice Chairman Craig Ascue led the county board appeal hearing, and he didn't know until after the hearing that the constituent school board wanted Patrick to be able to go to prom and graduation. After talking with other board members, Ascue decided Saturday that Patrick could go to prom and graduation. He said those activities weren't mentioned in the county school board's ruling, and the county school board misinterpreted the constituent school board's intention.
"We didn't say we would take those away," he said.
The decision to allow her to go to prom and graduation isn't sitting well with all board members who heard Patrick's appeal.
"This is just a big mess," said board member Michael Miller. "I'm not understanding the process. I never changed my decision."
Miller said the board never met again to clarify or overturn its ruling.
"No one person's vote is stronger than the next," he said.

August 3, 2015
NEW YORK (AP) - A new study finds people are using their 401(k)
retirement plans to cover financial hardships such as a job loss or
medical emergencies.
The Center for American Progress says that between 1998 and
2004, 12 percent of families dipped into the funds. The center has
also found that the annual borrowing went from 6 billion dollars in
1989 to 31 billion dollars in 2004.
The study's author says even though most of the loans are repaid
without penalty, pulling those funds out of the retirement accounts
lessens the amount a person will have when he or she does retire.
Another study by Hewitt Associates finds that four out five
workers are not putting enough into their 401(k) accounts. It says
employees are saving enough to replace 85 percent of their income
in retirement, but when inflation, longer life spans and medical
costs are factored in, they'll need to replace 126 percent.

Trek to the Last City of the Incas: Espiritu Pampa
Cusco, Peru
Prices From: $3,471 per person
This truly amazing trek takes us below and beyond the well-known Machu Picchu to a rarely visited place – Espiritu Pampa - the definitive final outpost of the Inca Empire. Following an in depth exploration of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, we visit the fabled Machu Picchu before heading further into the jungle by train and vehicle to the start of our trek into the Vilcabamba region. Following the footsteps of the Incas, we retrace their final journey into the jungle to their recently cleared final hiding place – Espiritu Pampa. This rewarding low altitude trek offers the seasoned traveler a chance to truly experience a spectacular journey, one that is rarely undertaken. In 2012, less than 250 people visited this site – this is jungle exploration at its very best.
Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 - Cusco Arrival
On arrival from your spectacular flight along the Andes to Cusco, we transfer you to your hotel and start acclimatizing to the rarefied air of this beautiful city (3,326m). In the afternoon, we take a short walking tour of the center of Cusco to familiarize you with the main sights, restaurants and a chance to stretch your legs and experience hiking at 3,300m. At a convenient time you guide will arrange a full briefing for the days ahead.
Overnight: Casa Andina Private Collection Cusco
Day 2 - Cusco: Local Ruins
Your guide and minibus are at your disposal for the day to explore Cusco and its outlying ruins. A 9:00am pick up for the ten kilometer drive out of Cusco to the Inca ruin of Tambo Machay. This is popularly called the Inca's Bath due to its finely preserved waterfalls, carefully diverted through fine stone channels. The Incas acknowledged water as one of the principal elements of life and revered it accordingly.
A few hundred meters back towards Cusco we visit the site of Puca Pucara. This delightful ruin on a small prominence is believed not to be the 'red fort' its name suggests, but a 'Tambo' – a rest house for traveling animals, goods and travelers. We now cut across country following the old Inca road from Cusco to Pisac. The traditional farming methods and highly adapted Andean crops are a treat to see still functioning.
With Cusco now in our sights we visit the fascinating Q'enko. This 'waca' contains some of the finest examples of Inca carvings in-situ. The eroded limestone fissures have been artfully carved into zigzag channels (from where Q'enko derives its name), pumas, condors, snakes and houses. Bountiful Mummy Niches in the caves, an amphitheater and the central phallic column all add to the mystery of its multi-functional use. After a picnic lunch we visit our final and most stunning ruin is the extensive Sacsayhuaman. Although the smaller stones of Sacsayhuaman were used to build modern day Cusco, the remaining stones are up to 8.5m high and weigh over 360 tons. The distinctive zigzag ramparts that form are attributed to being Puma teeth, lightning and also fortification. This major center obviously had many functions with storehouses, administration buildings, reservoir and play area. It was also site of a crucial battle between the Incas and the Spanish. We return to our Cusco hotel to pack and prepare for the big trek ahead.
Overnight: Casa Andina Private Collection Cusco (Breakfast, Lunch included)
Day 3 - Sacred Valley - Machu Picchu
Your guide and minibus are again at your disposal for the day. An early pick up for the thirty two kilometer drive out of Cusco to the picturesque Andean village of Pisac. The village is famous for its Sunday market and superb Artisan stalls. Old Pisac ruins have much to explore with a circular hike along a well-defined trail through Royal buildings, look-outs, terraces, tunnels and irrigation channels before returning on another good trail to the bus. After lunch near Urubamba, a short drive down the Sacred Valley of the Incas brings us to Ollantaytambo, site of the last battle between Incas and Spanish before the remaining Incas rebels fled into the jungles of Vilcabamba. In this well-preserved village and ruins you can still feel the true magic of the Incas. Heading to the train station, we take the late afternoon train down the Urubamba River gorge to Machu Picchu Pueblo and check into our hotel for the night.
Overnight: El Mapi Hotel (Breakfast, Lunch included)
Day 4 - Machu Picchu
Early this morning we set off to the fabled "Lost City of the Incas- Machu Picchu". A short bus ride takes you directly to the ruins. Once there your guide gives you an extensive walking tour of the ruin and explains the fascinating history of the Incas to you. If time permits you may wish to explore further to the Inca bridge, walk back up the Inca Trail to the sun gate or try the strenuous climb to the top of Huayna Picchu (due to permit restrictions, please let us know at the time of booking if you want to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu mountain) for an awe-inspiring condor's eye view of Machu Picchu. Some may prefer to just relax and take in the unique location. We return to Aguas Calientes from where we catch the afternoon local train to the end of the line at Hidro Electrica, (or hike the 2-3 hours). Here, our waiting vehicle drives us via Santa Teresa, Santa Maria, Chaullay and so to Huancacalle and onto our charming lodgings at Hostal Sixpac Manco, home to the Cobos family of muleteers and pioneer explorers of the region.
Day 5 - Vitcos & Nusta Hispanan (the White Rock)
Today we spend the day exploring the fascinating local ruins surrounding Huancacalle. A short steep climb brings us to Rosaspata, the site where Manco Inca settled, when they first fled from the Spanish out of Ollantaytambo. It was here too that sadly his life was ended by a group of renegade Spaniards whom he had befriended. They believed that by killing the emperor they could gain favor with the Spanish – however they did not survive long enough to find out, being set upon and killed by Manco Inca supporters shortly afterwards. We then hike onto the famous "White Rock" or Ñusta Hispanan as it is known locally. Despite having been badly damaged by the Spanish priests convinced it was a place of devil worship, the unique carvings and niches as well as the surrounding terraces and outbuildings make for a very interesting visit. In the afternoon, we return to our lodging and prepare for our next day's hiking.
Day 6 - Begin The Trek to Espiritu Pampa
Departing early, we transfer to the Q´ollpaq´asa pass where hopefully we have spectacular views back toward the snowy Andean peaks and onward deep into the Amazon rainforest. Following the very footsteps of the fleeing Incas, we descend for most of the day and can find occasional parts of original Inca trail and even the odd Inca ruin such as Aucapata and Incapata (though there's not much left of them to see!). We pass Ututo and the small hamlet of San Fernando before arriving in the afternoon at Vista Alegre, where we set up camp beside the local school and the brave can bathe in the crystalline but chilly headwaters of the Rio Concebidayoc. This is camping and trekking in style. While walking all you need to carry is a daypack, all camping equipment is carried by the porters. All camp chores are done for us and delicious food is served by a cook and his helpers. Total Distance: 11 miles
Day 7 - Vista Alegre - Concebidayoc
A full day's hiking, we set off early to avoid the stifling heat, as we descend further along the water shed of the Rio Concebidayoc, through the beautiful cloud forest, passing small hamlets and farming communities. We pass the Inca site of Urpipata and can see up to the ridge where the Incas planned to hurl rocks down onto the Spanish near Corcopata, a plan sadly foiled by traitors in their own midst. We cross the Rio Tunkimayo - Tunki is quechua for Cock of the Rock and hopefully we may spot these majestic birds along the way. In the afternoon we arrive at the small village of Concebidayoc where we camp on the football field beside the local school. Concebidayoc was built on the site of an Inca Settlement – although little remains today for the passing visitor, some of the houses sport Inca water channels and Inca stones as part of their structure. The whole Concebidayoc valley is home to some of the best coffee in Peru as well as jungle fruits such as papayas, oranges, lemons and of course the ubiquitous coca leaves. Total Distance: 10 miles
Day 8 - Concebidayoc - Espiritu Pampa
A shorter but no less spectacular morning of hiking again follows an ancient Inca trail this time climbing up to a spectacular view point with great views over the rainforest and down to our destination - Espiritu Pampa. The well preserved and slightly restored Mirador would have served as a lookout point to protect the Incas from any invading forces. As we hike down the vast and impressive Inca staircase to our campsite nearby the actual site of Espiritu Pampa, one can only imagine the trepidation the Spanish must have felt as they entered this final place of Inca refuge and base to the guerrilla resistance of the final embattled Incas. We set up camp for the next two nights and in the afternoon can take our first visit around the recently cleared main square of Espiritu pampa. Total Distance 5 miles
Day 9 - Espiritu Pampa
The last city of the Incas, Espiritu Pampa, while visited by Hiram Bingham in 1911, was so overgrown by jungle, he dismissed it as an unlikely contestant for the Incas final settlement (and such was his obsession with Machu Picchu). So it wasn't until the 1950s expeditions of Gene Savoy and later Vincent Lee managed to clear the incredible overgrowth, that this place was finally declared as the true site of their last refuge. Even then it continued to disappear back into the jungle fairly regularly and it has only recently been cleared and rebuilt by the efforts of the Peruvian Instituto de Cultura. The site covers a vast area, much is still not cleared so we can still experience the feeling of past explorers as we uncover walls almost completely destroyed by jungle trees, or small outbuilding's covered in the overgrowth. As one past client put it - "It was like being Hiram Bingham for the day!" We explore the extensive ruins with options for side hikes to even more obscure Inca sites, returning to our campsite for our cook's delicious dinner. Amazingly less than 2,500 people have visited Espiritu Pampa since records began in since 2002 – That's less than Machu Picchu gets a day! Total Distance 3- 4 miles
Day 10 - Espiritu Pampa - Azul Mayo - Quillabamba
Our final day's hiking follows the trail probably taken by the very last Inca, Tupac Amaru as the Spanish hunted him and his pregnant wife down deeper and further into the jungle. We meet our vehicle at the road head of Azul mayo and start an epic journey back via the jungle town of Kiteni and so to Quillabamba where we spend the night in a local hotel and can enjoy either traditional "Chicken and Chips" Broaster style or the local pizzeria is surprisingly not bad, especially if accompanied by a few "cold ones." Total trekking Distance 5 miles
Overnight: Hostal Don Carlos (Breakfast, Lunch included)
Day 11 - Quillabamba - Cusco
We complete our epic journey by road, heading back up into the Andes via the 4,300m Abra de Malaga, finally joining the asphalt (tarmac) at the tea growing town of Alfamayo. A short stop in Ollantaytambo to stretch your legs; we plan to be back in Cusco by mid-afternoon, in time for those with enough energy to clean up and enjoy a night of fine dining and eclectic night life that Cusco is so famous for.
Overnight: Casa Andina Private Collection Cusco (Breakfast, Lunch included)
Day 12 - Cusco Departure
Today, we transfer to Cusco airport in time for your domestic and international flights home.

Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement One Year Later - 11/23/99
The Tobacco Litigation and Enforcement Section ensures tobacco industry compliance with the Master Settlement Agreement and the Smokeless Master Settlement Agreement. Major accomplishments and activities include:
- Administer settlement payments to state and local governments.
- Successfully defended the tobacco settlement against an attempted attack by a smokers' rights group, Smokers for Fairness. This victory ensured that California would receive the approximately $1 billion in annual settlement payments no later than June 30, 2000. The victory also moved all states closer to achieving the 80 percent state-specific finality threshold needed to allow states involved in the settlement to begin receiving payments as early as January 2000.
- In-depth investigations of tobacco company advertising in national magazines to ensure compliance with the Master Settlement Agreement ban on campaigns that target youth. The monitoring included reviewing national advertising that use cartoons, images and themes that evidence the targeting of youth for tobacco products.
- Investigated tobacco company conduct at "brand name" sponsorship events in California to ensure that the restrictions on outdoor advertising of tobacco products and sampling are not violated. This brought the first formal enforcement action in the nation against a tobacco company for violations of the Master Settlement Agreement. The complaint against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company involved alleged violations of advertising and promotion of tobacco products at Winston-sponsored NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) and NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) events in California. The complaint already has prompted major changes in the company's advertising practices and sponsored-events at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds.
- Secured tobacco company compliance with restrictions on outdoor advertising of tobacco products. The complaint against Philip Morris, Inc., resulted in the removal of tobacco product signs and billboards prohibited by the Master Settlement Agreement. Anti-tobacco advertising replaced the banned product signs. Initiated informal efforts to force a tobacco company to use "commercially reasonable" efforts to curtail third party conduct that would be prohibited if done by a tobacco company. One of the actions involved a retailer with significant ties to Philip Morris who erected a billboard advertising Marlboro cigarettes.
- Filed the first-ever prosecution of a tobacco company for non-sale distribution of coupons for tobacco products on public sidewalks and in public buildings and other public places in violation of Health and Safety Code section 118950.
- Regular and active participation in a national tobacco enforcement working group that involves Attorneys General from 10 states and advises the Tobacco Enforcement Committee of the National Association of Attorneys General.

Absolute Fear
Title: Absolute Fear
Author: Lisa Jackson
KDL Description:
Eve Renner can't remember the night she was almost killed, but she does remember the body of an old friend lying in a pool of blood, and the face of her lover, Cole Dennis. Now there are more murders, and the only connection between them is a crumbling old asylum that was once the scene of unspeakable madness.
Amazon Description:
For the past three months, Eve Renner has struggled to remember the night she was nearly killed and her lover was tried for murder. She remembers getting the anxious call from a friend from her past: "Meet me at the cabin. I've got evidence." She remembers seeing that friend lying in a pool of blood. And she remembers a horrifying glimpse of her lover Cole Dennis's face as a gunshot plunged her into darkness. Now, her memory and emotions scarred, Eve has returned to New Orleans to forget the past. But the past will not be forgotten. Eve's shattered memory has helped Cole walk on murder charges just as a new series of killings begins. The latest murders are bizarre and baffling. The victims are killed in a ritual fashion, a series of numbers tattooed into their bodies. 212. 101. 111. 323. There is no clue to their meaning, no connection to the victims except one: Our Lady of Virtues Hospital, the crumbling old asylum that was once the scene of unspeakable madness. For Eve, it was a second home as a child. Her father was a doctor there, and she spent hours exploring its secret chambers, hidden rooms, and forbidden passageways. Somewhere in its decaying rooms lies the key to a terrible crime, a betrayal beyond imagining whose echoes are now being felt with a vengeance – a crime that seems to lead to Eve herself. And the only man she can trust with the search is Cole, her former lover and, just possibly, a cold-blooded killer. As forgotten memories begin to surface, bodies are found and each twist leads to another terrifying piece of the puzzle. Someone is watching, planning, luring her back to the ruins of Our Lady and the shocking truths hidden there – someone who has been waiting for this moment to strike. He is deadlier than she knows. For the sins of the past must be revealed, the crimes brought to justice, and the price paid – in blood.

And if his cabinet had diversity....there would be another group with another complaint about something else. Whining and complaining could be an olympic sport in this country.
Shame on me, I got my hopes up AGAIN that we might win.
Regardless of whether you think the deer had rights...."Normal" 75 year old women do not beat baby animals to death. The bigger issue here is this woman's reaction was extreme and I think she needs a psych evaluation.

To Mayor Frank:
Like a coach of the browns once said after a series of losses: "We need to get back to the basics". Well, maybe the Cleveland Police Department needs to get back to the basics: high visibility foot patrols.
I agree, a trip to Chicago's Rush street to see how it's done would help our city leaders. Chicago cops walk the street, especially at closing time, makes people feel safe, but also cuts down on bar fights that spill out onto the street. Who knows if that would have helped with this situation, but it's a start.
I find it laughable that Germany, GERMANY! has the arrest warrant out for Demjanjuk. Wasn't it GERMANY who allowed the entire thing to happen? Wasn't it Germany who went into the Ukraine, Poland, etc. and displaced millions of people as well as murdering millions of Jews??!!....Hmmm. Enough already...he's 90. God will take care of him. I say we tell Germany to look in their own backyard for war criminals and stay out of ours.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Exciting plan for CSU! It's about time!
I am truly sorry for your loss. I think this is a tragic situation. I can't imagine having a family member do something so completely out of character that it results in their death and a public outcry against them. I'm sure this is incredibly hard for all you. However; You would be better served staying away from media outlets.
The simple fact is Kath, this is a hot button issue for a lot of people. The police are here to protect us from the criminal element. They don't have a crystal ball on their dashboard that says, fake gun, fake gun. In this situation, these officers had bank tellers telling them, they were robbed at gun point, and they had something pointed at them- this young man left them no other choice. As the sister, grandaughter, cousin, of police officers I can tell you that no police officer wants to kill anyone. They just want to protect the public and go home safely to their family.
My prayers will be with your family as you sort through these events and try to move on. My prayers will also go out to these police officers who were put in a no win situation and did their best to protect and serve the public.
black 27....
"And then look at the demographic statistics on some of these Appalachian enclaves where such rallies were held. (Teen pregnancy, education, income, etc.) The result: IDENTICALLY bad in every respect as the numbers you find in ghetto Cleveland. Except these places are 99% white. Lack of class knows no skin color."
I can agree with some of what you said- lack of class knows no skin color, the appalachian areas, which are mostly white, do have an extreme amount of poverty and lack of education. HOWEVER;....the difference between the east side of Cleveland and the Appalachian enclaves....the appalachian people aren't killing each other daily and family time in Appalachia is not going out to find someone to shoot in the back of the head just for the fun of it.
Diplomatic: Do you have a date when Cosby is going to be here?
Quote from Bill Cosby's book Come On, people. Chapter One, What's Going On with Black Men?
"In 1950, five out of every six children were born into a two parent home. Today, that number is less than two out of six."
"A house without a father is a challenge. A neighborhood without fathers is a catastrophe, and that's just about what we have today."
IIt sure would be nice if more people spoke out to support Bill Cosby and his mission, then defend their babies who "didn't do it."
Hey PD: How about asking if people are ready and willing to be a part of the change in Cleveland. There are probably a lot of people who would be willing to do something, but don't know where to start. Help outline things that residents of Cleveland as well as the surrounding area can do. Cleveland is hanging on by a thread, if it falls apart, the entire region loses.
Maybe we need a million man march on Cleveland!
Blah blah blah...
So to sum it up...your point is this.......You all left, I didn't, Jackson's doing a great job, why don't you run for mayor, and my favorite you're all scared bunny rabbits!
You've said it like 40 times in this list of comments.....we get it, quit your crying already.
Oh, and by the way, you're 100% wrong about my race. Nice try though. Some of us actually leave Cleveland when we can't find a job to support our families. We don't just sit and cry about having no job. Some of us choose to give our children a better chance then they would have had living where we lived. Some of us have taken a stand, and left because things weren't getting better, they were getting worse. Noooo, Not running like scared bunny rabbits, more like making a responsible choice for our children.
You should stop being so defensive that people are saying Jackson sucks...he does, so did Cambell. No one attacked you until you attacked them. Unless, maybe you're name is really Jackson....
I think firenwater is Jackson's speech writer:
It's not that we don't know what the problems are. We've known them for years.
It's not that we don't know what the solutions are. We've known those for years. The problem is we haven't done anything about it.
FireNWater:Is Mayor Jackson your brother???
If you had read my entire post...you would have seen that I said, he needs to get fire in his belly scream into the Camera telling the thugs he is going to make it his mission to destroy them and THEN FOLLOW THROUGH WITH IT by bombarding the city with cops! I never said it would bring jobs in, I said he needed to take back Cleveland from the trash that is running the streets. The post was in response to his "Cleveland is Safe" comment.
Fire N water, you're obviously very proud of Mayor Jackson, you don't want anyone who has left the city commenting negatively on him because your services are great. That's wonderful....I wish you the best of luck on your sinking ship...You're absolutely right....jackson is doing a great job.
Well Said.
Regionalism is probably Cleveland's only chance, however; I have little hope that the ego's throughout the Cuyahoga County political scene will be able to give up their thrones. I also agree with you that there has become a culture of acceptance in a large part of Cleveland's residents toward being violent & uneducated. They refuse to be a part of the solution and our mayors refuse to acknowledge that there is a very real problem. They continue to put band aid's on a wound that is infected instead of properly treating it.
We moved from Cleveland 8 years ago. We both worked downtown and lived downtown before having kids. Each year since moving we have come back with our kids, and stayed downtown. We see the Cavs or Tribe play, go to dinner, and walk around showing them the city we love. Every year though, it has become a less comfortable stay. There are fewer people walking around, and the ones walking around are thuggish. We take our kids to New York every summer, we've taken them to Chicago, San Diego, L.A. and we are never uncomfortable walking around those cities. Why? There are cops everywhere! There are people everywhere. Cleveland is a ghost town being run by thugs at night. It's heartbreaking to see it fall apart.
The simple fact is that Cleveland has suffered from apathtic leadership for so long that we've all forgotten what it's like to be excited about Cleveland. Empty buildings,loss of jobs, poverty, and a disgraceful school district....it's pathetic. When was the last time we had a mayor in Cleveland who actually made you feel good about being a Clevelander? There is no enthusiasm, no pride, nothing to make anyone feel like it's ever going to improve.
Downtown Cleveland is safe????Frank, how about a little fire in your belly! How about standing up and yelling in to the camera....THIS IS NOT OK!!!! WE ARE NOT GOING TO SUGAR COAT THIS.....IF you come downtown looking to terrorize our visitors/residents...we will find you and punish you to the fullest extent of the law. This is our city not yours! How about telling parents that if their kids are repeatedly in trouble, you're coming after them!..... Tell the thugs that you will make it your mission to destroy them...and then....follow through with it. Bombard the city with cops. Use the bailout money for it. Make people feel safe Frank.
But No, instead we get the list of things he's done so far, how he would like things not to happen, how Cleveland really is safe.....essentially he said, he feels really bad, but it's not his fault, and there is nothing he can do.
I agree people should take responsibility for their actions, but when was the last time you saw anyone take responsibility in Cleveland, including the Mayor?
This has everything to do with our Mayor(s). Cleveland is getting more illiterate and poor by the second. The Downtown area has lost too many companies and we're doing the bare minimum to attract companies back in. We don't have enough police on the streets to even make people want to come downtown in the evening. Have you been downtown lately? It's a ghost town at night... Poor and uneducated are the ones who commit these crimes....they aren't doing this in Westlake, I'm guessing because Westlake residents would never tolerate this.
As I said, people should quit complaining on blogs about race and demand that our government start cleaning up the crap in Cleveland. Our mayors have done little to motivate positive change in Cleveland.
Oh, and to be clear, I'm not inner city blaming the mayor. I'm white from the suburbs. I'm doing my part raising my kids, to be productive members of society.
my sincerest sympathy goes out to the families...this is a terrible situation. The guys that did this are animals and as far as I'm concerned, should be treated as such.
I have to say this story is odd though.....why did they walk out with this group behind them? I've left bars and walked back in if someone walked out behind me that made me uncomfortable. Why did they go to the bank machine with the group of guys there-again...would you do that if the group behind you was thuggish? Why did they go into the park? I've been there, I wouldn't cut through there at night-it doesn't say anywhere that they were chased into the park area. My gut tells me they were either going to buy some weed from these guys and it was a set up to rob them or these thugs thought they were gay and killed them for that.
Either way it's tragic and all of this race crap is stupid....we would be better served if you would all take your anger out on the mayor and demand he fix Cleveland!
Mr & Mrs. Boyd,
I am so sorry that your son was lost to such evil.....I pray that God gives you the strength to get through each day. I pray that God illuminates the path you should take next....there is much work for you to do. You must work with other victims of senseless crimes to demand our leaders step up, and do something....anything....to prevent this culture of violence that is becoming so accepted.

3 cups
diced cooked chicken
1/2 cup
diced celery
1/4 cup
diced onion
1/4 cup
chopped dried cherries
3/4 cup
3 tablespoons
Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon
poultry seasoning
ground black pepper to taste
This is an excellent chicken salad with minor tweaks. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the mustard was too much. I reduced the mustard in half and I think I actually could have reduced it further with 1 tablespoon total. I will use sliced green onion the next time too. Come to think of it, a few more cherries would be nice also......maybe as a garnish. Make sure you make ahead and chill to blend flavors. I served this over romaine with a handfull of candied pecans to garnish. Thanks CHARISMOM this was very good and is going into my salad rotation.
Very good. My wife and daughter prepared it according to the recipe last night. They served it in pita pockets. The basic chicken salad would be good by itself but the dried cherries add a note that makes it memorable.
I wonder if there are any leftovers?

This sounds really good. My husband and I have had chicken salad's before but not like this. Sounds great and can't wait to make it some time. GO BIG BLUE!!!
Loved it. I used dried sweet bing cherries. Worth a trip to Trader Joe's for the cherries. I served it on a croissant for a treat.
I liked this a lot. I served mine on croissants. Next time I will add a little less mustard though.
I have been trying various chicken salad recipes from this site over the summer and this one is by far my favorite one. The only thing I changed was I cut down to 2 tbs of Dijon mustard per other reviews, but I think it would be fine as written too.

Stumbled upon Casa one night with no destination other than the Village which we have frequented for years. Our party of 3, without a reservation, was welcomed and seated immediately. Our food was properly paced, contained quality ingredients, was the proper temperature and all around a good value. Our wine was placed on our table and not behind the bar as a previous reviewer wrote. I've owned restaurants so I appreciate how one is run. I will be back!
Posted by Vinícius on 03/23/2012
I've eaten here three times and the food is mediocre - however the service is consistently appalling and this leaves a bad taste. Since it's a local place and I'm a neighbor who loves good Brazilian food I tried to give it a few chances but it hasn't improved and I will never go back. Thankfully now there are other Brazilian restaurants in the area.

Had a great meal at the (tiny) bar. Love the small homey feel of the place and service. Moqueca was awesome, full of great fish and shellfish. Bartender was sweet.

We stumpled on this delightful restaurant about 6 PM recently. Althoguh we didn't have a reservation and were told we would have to be out by 7:30 we did not feel rushed and greatly enjoyed the meal. We will be back.

I had wanted to come here several years ago for my birthday when I discovered this charming little restaurant by mistake. We made a reservation and were unfortunately running late due to Friday night traffic. We called twice to push our reservation time and were told no problem. When we finally got there though, they had unapologetically given our table away telling us that we wouldn't be seated for several hours. Very disappointed, I left. I decided to give this restaurant another shot last night. Again, I made a reservation. This time I was early and decided to wait outside for the rest of my party to arrive. While waiting I noticed that three separate couples had been turned away. When I asked the hostess why, she said that she does it all the time and that they only take reservations on the weekends. As obnoxious as I thought this was I decided to keep my reservation. The food was fine, nothing to brag about. I was disturbed that we were being rushed along by our waitstaff after having barely been there for an hour with a party of three. On top of which, I overheard another table saying to the hostess, "Don't worry, we know we have to leave by 7:30". I was appalled that they would give a timeline to anyone kind enough to dine in their restaurant. Suffice it to say, I will never go back here again.

I went to Casa with a friend on a Sunday night. It took almost 45 minutes for our food to be served, even though only half the restaurant was full and it seemed like a pretty slow night. They gave my friend the wrong dish, and the waiter was very rude about it -- she ended up eating it, or we would have had to wait another 45 minute. The food was plain and overpriced, nothing special and definitely not worth $20 a plate. I will never go here again.

Atypical, thoughtful interior space. The acoustics are impossibly loud and the a/c is cold near the entrance, yet nonexistent in the dining room along the banquet seating. The sizable portion of Cuscux Paulista, didn't compensate for it's indistinguishable seafood and too-salty flavor. The Xinxim De Galinha, also substantial in size, was dry. The sauce tasted tired and overreduced. The accompanied shrimp was flavorful and perfectly cooked -- it probably is the only ingredient in the restaurant cooked al a minute. The mound of white rice in the middle was nicely textured and flavored. Service requires a firm hand from the diner. The caipirinhas are mainly ice and indifferently mixed.

Bee sting
Insect bites or stings can be painful and sometimes deadly. Most often bites or stings do not require medical care but an allergic reaction from the sting can be an emergency situation. If a sting occurs from a honey bee, remove the stinger. Do not use tweezers since pinching the stinger will cause more venom to be released. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Over the next 24 to 48 hours, observe the site for signs of infection (such as increasing redness, swelling, pain).

HylaPharm Introduces Cancer-Fighting Technology To Angel Investors
An upcoming University of Kansas startup has been catching some serious attention this week on a national stage in front of some serious and important audience members, those people would be a angle investors.
ACA Summit.
A company who has managed to specialize in cancer drug deliver technology that was developed in KU, named HylaPharm, will be presenting itself to angel investors during the 2014 Angel Capital Association Summit in Washington, DC. This event is one of the largest gathering of investors, who are venture capitalist looking to spread seed money into new and establishing companies such as HylaPharm.
The annual summit is primarily a professional development event for angel investor, although it does include a four-hour "innovations Showcase" which allows various upcoming companies showcase their technology to investors in a speed like format. The goal behind this is too attract attention from the investors, and to solicit feedback and assistance from said angel investors, who support can be highly important during the early-stage technology based firm.
The Innovations showcase can only be entered through invitation only, which is only extending just a few handful of companies nationwide.
"It's an exclusive group, so we're excited to have been invited," said Dan Aires, HylaPharm president and CEO. Aires is also a member of the University of Kansas Cancer Center's Cancer Biology Program and director of dermatology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. "This is a tremendous opportunity to get the HylaPharm story in front of an elite group of angel investors, which could really help a company like ours."
Founders and Background.
Founded by faculty members in KU back in 2010, HylaPharm is currently producing its patented HylaPlat technology, which delivers chemotherapy drugs directly to the cancer cells on the tumors and any nearby lymph nodes, while trying to limit the exposure of the drug towards the kidney's, nerves and auditory organs. By limiting the exposure of the drugs to the surrounding tissues, Hyplat will be able to target a larger amount of treatments all the while negating more side effects for their patients.
"For most drugs, there's a trade-off between side effects and efficacy," said Aires. "But for patients with certain kinds of cancer, our new technology has the potential to be both safer and stronger. That makes it especially exciting."
HylaPharm is currently being led by Aires and KU pharmaceutical chemist Larid Forrest, who has been serving as a chief science officer as well as a chief operating officer and a member of the KU Cancer Center's Drug Discovery, Delivery & Experimental Therapeutics Research Program. The company is based in the Bioscience & Technology Business Center Expansion Facility in Lawrence.
Being one of the 24 most active KU startup companies, 22 of which are even based in Kansas, HylaPharm would be the very first time a KU company has managed to be invited into the ACA showcase.
"Our goal is to transfer KU discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace, and that includes encouraging faculty to start new companies," said Julie Goonewardene, associate vice chancellor for innovation and entrepreneurship and president of KU Innovation and Collaboration, the unit that coordinates KU's commercialization and entrepreneurship efforts. "HylaPharm is an incredible example of the great work being done by KU researchers at both campuses. The fact that this company was chosen to present to this elite group of investors says volumes about their efforts and, more broadly, about the work being done at KU to promote economic development."

Detecting climate change with remote sensing instruments, providing state-of-the-art surveillance imagery for security and defense, or getting the most out of medical imagers requires excellent knowledge of the sensor's performance. One of the challenges faced by scientists and engineers developing these instruments is effectively evaluating their performance. To address this challenge, we are developing the Hyperspectral Image Projector (HIP). The HIP will enable performance evaluation of cameras and other imaging instruments using realistic scenes.
Remote sensing instruments and medical imagers are designed to take images composed of many spectral bands, not just the minimum three components used by common digital cameras (i.e., red, green, and blue). These images are referred to as hyperspectral because each pixel contains information for hundreds or thousands of narrow spectral bands. The purpose of the Hyperspectral Image Projector (HIP) is to enable scientists to project hyperspectral images into sensors, simulating realistic scenes both spectrally and spatially, for performance testing and evaluation of the sensor instruments in the laboratory. For example, by using the HIP to test satellite sensor performance in controlled laboratory settings, scientists can alleviate expensive field testing, allow better separation of environmental effects from instrument effects, and enable system-level performance testing and validation of space-flight instruments prior to launch. Many realistic scenes of interest for testing defense and security sensors would be very difficult or dangerous to set up outside, but can be relatively easily simulated and projected into the sensors by the HIP. Similarly, tissue phantoms used to test medical optical and infrared imaging instruments are difficult to maintain and disseminate with known properties, whereas the HIP can present repeatable digital versions of tissue phantoms to these instruments.
The design of the HIP system is similar to commercially available Digital Light Processing (DLP) projections systems. In DLP systems, the projected image is made from a composite of grayscale images representing each of the RGB colors (red, green, and blue). The individual grayscale images are generated by focusing light through a rotating multicolored filter (to obtain the spectral component) and illuminating a digital micromirror device (to obtain the spatial component). When the grayscale images are projected and combined at typical video frame rates, the result is a full RGB-color image.
In contrast to the DLP system, the HIP system has the ability to project composites of numerous spectra. Instead of using a filter as in the DLP system, the spectral components for the HIP system are generated with a spectral engine, composed of dispersive optics and a spatial light modulator such as a digital micromirror device (DMD) or a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. The spatial engine, composed of a second spatial light modulator, then determines the spatial component for each spectral component. Synchronized operation of both engines ensures that each spectral component is projected sequentially in the correct proportions in each spatial region to create a time-averaged hyperspectral image.
The advantage of the HIP system is not only its ability to project realistic, spectrally and spatially complex scenes, but also the user's ability to arbitrarily define and control the spectral distributions at each pixel in the spatial image. For example, the HIP can alter certain spectral components to reflect changing scenes. This means that HIP can be used to test imagers under a wide range of conditions and for a variety of applications.
Major Accomplishments:
As a demonstration of the spatial quality of the HIP-images, we projected a hyperspectral image of a coral reef. The original image, acquired by an airborne hyperspectral sensor, was deconvolved into six spectral components, and then re-projected using the HIP into a laboratory imaging spectrometer. The pictures below present an RGB version of the original image and the HIP-projected image. We have developed a prototype HIP system covering the spectral range from 450 nm to 2400 nm, we are currently working on an extension down to 350 nm.

Stayed there due to an 18 hour layover in Brunei traveling to Vietnam. The airport transfer was very much appreciated as its costs around 30 BND to get to the city from the airport. It's a budget hotel so it's not flash (and breakfast sucked) but the staff were polite and friendly but we had no complaints.

Is there any way to at least install SoftChip as a channel so I can half pretend that the real thing still works?
edit: nevermind, found it. Still pissed off. Thanks everyone for your help, hopefully one day I'll figure out a way to truly get this trash off my system. And in the future, I'll be much more careful with what I install.

Operation Rescue will soon file a complaint against a Boston Planned Parenthood over an incident involving an abortion patient.
Melissa Cullen filed suit against the abortion clinic after a suction abortion. Three hours after the abortion, she passed out due to an extreme loss of blood and she has suffered several subsequent injuries as a result. Emergency room doctors told her the abortion had been done improperly.
Operation Rescue's Cheryl Sullenger tells OneNewsNow that the incident has only been one among many.
"This is the third such injury that we've seen at this same Boston Planned Parenthood since January of 2011," she notes.
Cullen, who claims to now suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is seeking $100,000 in damages. The incident marks the 11th abortion-related medical emergency at Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide during the same period.
Sullenger says that is just the tip of the iceberg.
"These clinics wait until there are no pro-lifers present to witness it, then they call the ambulance for the people, so we think that there's a lot more injuries going on than are even being reported to us," she indicates.
"What is being reported to us are increasingly large amounts of these kinds of incidents all over the country, but especially at Planned Parenthood."
Operation Rescue plans to file a complaint in connection with the three Boston Planned Parenthood incidents, asking for a complete investigation of the facility.

Here's a song to listen to while you read this entry.
Arrived at my parents' summer house on Saturday evening.
Made some hot dogs and saw the sunset.
This is the view during the day time.
We went ziplining the next day at Hawksnest
The world's tallest man being strapped in by the world's shortest man.
Serious shit going on here.
The next day, we went on the Virginia Creeper trail. Yeah– it's in Virginia. This is my version of trail mix.
I make this sport look good.
It would have been pretty serene if I wasn't being swarmed with flies. Great.
The next day, we went kayaking on Watauga Lake. These legs went from pale to red in a matter of an hour or so.
Once you notice my dad in this photo, you'll realize it doesn't need a caption.
Epic final photo.

BRISTOL — After the red flag which was raised following the Food City 500 last March, it seems Bristol Motor Speedway is back under green.
That is the green of increased revenue from early ticket sales. With two months to go until race day, BMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Jerry Caldwell is encouraged with what he's seen so far.
"We had really encouraging renewal rates," Caldwell said. "The excitement has picked up since August, a lot of positive momentum going. We had a great August weekend and great winter events with record crowds. I'm really encouraged with the ways things are shaping up in 2013. There are tons of storylines with the teams and the new cars and how that's going to play out."
The official NASCAR estimate had 102,000 fans at last March's Food City 500, although some in the national media speculated the crowd more around 80,000 with the stadium half-full. The lack of fan support led to speedway owner Bruton Smith ordering the top of the racing surface to be ground down.
It paid off at the IRWIN Tools Night Race last August, a race highlighted by a pair of high-profile accidents. Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth crashed while battling for the lead, and it led to Stewart throwing his helmet across the hood of Kenseth's car on pit road. Laps later, Danica Patrick crashed hard following contact from Regan Smith.
"As we talked about prior to that race, we've had exciting races. They were different types of races," Caldwell said. "You didn't have the beating and banging, but you had plenty of passes for the lead and for position. We had the side-by-side racing for the lead last March, but it wasn't the intense beating and banging and drama which people had become accustomed to at Bristol. You had all that in August."
There were five caution periods and 13 lead changes in the Food City 500 last March. By comparison, the August race had 13 cautions and 22 lead changes.
There are even greater unknowns coming into the March race. NASCAR will debut the new Gen 6 race car for the Sprint Cup Series at Daytona. The new machine has already caused some confusion. With the car bumpers not lining up like the old cars did, Chevrolet driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. triggered a 12-car pile-up trying to push the Ford of Marcos Ambrose at Daytona testing.
"With the modifications we made to the race track and the new car and how it's harder to drive, like the cars prior to 2007, it's going to be interesting how everything plays out," Caldwell said.
Renewal time for the August race is coming up soon, while other events at the complex have gone extremely well. Caldwell describes sales for the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in June as terrific, while the annual "Speedway in Lights" drew record crowds over the holidays.
"Everybody is so passionate about supporting Speedway Children's Charities and everything that goes into Speedway in Lights," Caldwell said. "Because of the success of it, it's turned into another major event for us. We have a Speedway in Lights team that owns that event and is second to none. I was really pleased with the changes we made this year and the way they were accepted."
On its website, Bristol Motor Speedway has also entered into a partnership with Martinsville Speedway for Race Lodging, LLC, established to find affordable lodging for race fans.
It is advertised that a fan can stay within 30 miles of BMS for $125 per night. The speedway has also a new partnership with Dollywood Cabins offering two nights during race weekend, and it includes options to add on dinner and a show at Dixie Stampede.
Most important, Bristol seemed to get its mojo back last August. The speedway was ranked No. 1 in a variety of national publications and several fan polls, with the August race picked by NASCAR.com as the best race of 2012.
"We've been voted No. 1 time and time again," Caldwell said. "We have all that drama, all that action, but we have all the other things that keep Bristol, Bristol. Bill Elliott referred to how the people in this community stay so passionate about Bristol. We like to call if a family reunion and what Bill Elliott said confirmed it."
A pair of Volunteer Speedway legends died over the past few days.
Scott Sexton, the 1991 and '95 Late Model champion, died Thursday, Jan. 10 after suffering from a blood clotting disorder the last few years. The Pigeon Forge driver was only 46 years old.
Famous for piloting the No. 52, Sexton ran one year as a national touring driver, but spent the majority of his career at East Tennessee tracks like Atomic Speedway, Smoky Mountain Raceway and Tazewell Speedway.
He was an eight-time World Karting Association champion, a 10-time winner on the Southern All-Star tour and a winner of over 200 features.
Buddy Vance, who raced at the track as well as many other short tracks around the region for nearly two decades, died on Saturday, Jan. 12.
Vance was the father of NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race director Brian Vance, and was the crew chief for his son's NASCAR Blue Ridge Region Short Track Championship in 1999.

Google Chart API enjoyment
There's this little pie graph I want in my app that looks sorta like this:
Basically, it's gonna be a stopwatch-like graph that tells you how much time is left for a particular food in a particular location. In this case, the pie would represent 1 month left. It's convenient because there are 12 months in a year, 12 hours on a clock, etc. I can color the pie slice differently when it's nearing its "out of season" time (as is the case here, so the slice should be a red-ish color in the final deal).
Easy enough, right? I told Matt, the guy who's generously helping me design this, that I could make the pie charts with Google's chart API.
The chart API takes data, like (1,11) to represent the amount that's colored one color versus colored another. But, unfortunately, the chart's default orientation is at 3 o'clock. To rotate the chart, you supply it with a number in radians. So, after some research in radians, I determine that to rotate the slice 90 degrees clockwise, I give everything a radians of 4.712388975.
Unfortunately, that aligns the wrong side of the pie slice. Making it look like this:
So, now I need to figure out how to rotate it to the a little bit less than the default offset. Since I'm making one of these for each half-increment of a month, I'll need 24 slices. So, each half month has its own correction of
1 radian * 15 (degrees) = 0.2617993875 radians
Each with a different radian correction to the offset. Or, rather, for each increment,
(default offset) – ((half month correction from above) * (number of half months))
So now I figure this all out in a Google Docs spreadsheet.
And for some reason, I find the whole process highly enjoyable.
Also, now that I've got this spreadsheet open, I'm interested in using this information to help determine the colors used for each slice. I have some colors that have been sampled from actual foods in nature and wonder how I might use math to simulate the changing colors of the season.
But I'm going to leave that for tomorrow because I want a drink right now. I feel like I'm in that weird nerd limbo… nerdy enough to come up with a really convoluted way to get something really simple, and yet still not nerdy enough to come up with the really easy way to get something really simple.

crap, I did not know about that RTS thing. I myself have been working on one for the last 6 months and THERE IT IS. Damn.
This is awesome.
Will all the missions in Act 1 and 2 be updated? Will the "tactical options" like ammo be there as well? I am not talking new missions, I loved R1 as it was, I am talking about HUD and the equipment and maybe even incoporate the new ship in some position. Such sudden advances in technology would be strange.

Alma Public Library STORYHOUR Hosted By Tina
The ALMA PUBLIC LIBRARY STORYTIME is back after its absence during the summer months. There will be new stories, crafts, and excitement, all provided by our Story Lady, Tina Leonard. The storytimes are on Tuesdays, at 10am., in the Smith Community Room. Mark your calendars for Tuesday mornings @ 10am.,to join Tina with new and favorite stories and crafts. See you then!
We are very excited about Mr. David McMacken's new book, titled, "TAMING THE WILDERNESS. THE AMAZING STORY OF THE SETTLEMENT OF GRATIOT COUNTY". David has been working on this title for a period of time, and now it is available to all who are interested in the historic development of Gratiot County. The book chronicles the lives of Gratiot County's early settlers from 1850/1876. As David acknowledges, "This book is not a collection of family histories, nor is it a list of politicians, soldiers, store-keepers, or blacksmiths. Copious details about those folks are found in existing Gratiot County history books. Nor will this book be read from cover- to-cover. Rather, it is a narrative culled from many sources and covering many topics. It is the dramatic story of life in Gratiot County..." The book is $25.00, and can be shipped for an additional $6.00. Orders outside of the Great Lakes region should contact the library for applicable postal charges.
The Alma Public Library is now able to offer e-book access to its patrons! Library borrowers will need to have a valid library card, with no outstanding fines or fees due to the library to use the e-book collection. Patrons can borrow two books at a time for seven days. We hope to expand the number of items that patrons can borrow as the e-book collection grows. E-book borrowers will need to check out the library's homepage to download the appropriate app to their smart device so they can access the e-books through the Axis360 program. There is an Axis360 icon on the homepage which will take library patrons to the titles available in the Alma collection. We hope that you will check out this new service and see if e-books are for you.
Cu`entame un cuento??(Spanish Story Time)

Semiconductor industries have faced unprecedented changes for last several years. Mainly, those changes have come from the advent of mobile computing era. Mobile computing has changed our lives and semiconductor industries dramatically. One of the major changes that we should notice is the paradigm shift in packaging technology area. While Silicon technology had been a key technology in Personal computing era for last 10 years, Packaging technology will be a core technology in Mobile computing era for incoming 10 years.
In mobile computing environments, High-performance with low power consumption, Small form factor, and diversified market demands are major trends. Also, these trends introduce many emerging technologies into packaging area.
Therefore, a S6 session in STS will help semiconductor engineers to experience novel and innovative packaging technologies. Also, the intensive discussions in our session will suggest good milestones onto the future technology developments. In 2012, S6 committee will conduct a panel discussion for the first time. 4 distinguished industry leaders will share their prospects on mobile packaging technology evolutions with you.

Thanksgiving Volunteer Opportunities: 6 Ways to Give Back This Year
3. Holiday Dinner and Cooking with Homeless Teens
Epworth Children & Family Services has a myriad of volunteer opportunities throughout the year, for anyone interested in working with at-risk or homeless youth. But on Thanksgiving the 145-year old non-profit is looking for volunteers to cook (and maybe eat) dinner with teenagers at one of their residential centers. Call Margaret Mahan 314-918-3330 or email email@example.com to discuss Thanksgiving and other opportunities.
4. A Different Kind of Food Pantry (Good for families with children)
Wikimedia Commons
Operation Food Search is the largest distributor of food in the St. Louis area and they're used to accommodating the Thanksgiving-volunteer-rush. In addition to distributing food items to families across Missouri, Operation Food Search provides winter coats and personal-care items to people who cannot afford them. If you can't get away on Turkey Day, consider assembling food items, coats or "care kits" to donate later. Visit their website or call 314-726-5355 for more information.
5. Dinner with Larry Rice and His Homeless Ministry
There are plenty of soup kitchens in the St. Louis area but dinner at Reverend Larry Rice's New Life Evangelistic Center might give you the opportunity to learn more about a ministry that's often in the news. The New Life Evangelistic Center is looking for volunteers to bring specific menu items and join down on their luck congregants at their center downtown for a holiday meal. Visit Rice's website or call 314-421-3020 for more information.
6. Reading Partners Sought at Gateway 180 Shelter:
Via Gateway 180
Gateway 180, a shelter for homeless women and children, always welcomes volunteers of all stripes and varying time commitments. The shelter, which focuses on quick rehousing, is especially interested in assembling "guest readers" to regularly partner with children who are learning to read or to stop by their Midtown shelter just once for storytime. Contact Carrie Clark at firstname.lastname@example.com or 314-231-1515 to talk about their opportunities.
