42 U.S. Code § 3545 - HUD accountability
(a) Notice regarding assistance
(1) Publication of notice of availability
The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register notice of the availability of any assistance under any program or discretionary fund administered by the Secretary.
(2) Publication of application procedures
The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a description of the form and procedures by which application for the assistance may be made, and any deadlines relating to the award or allocation of the assistance. Such description shall be designed to help eligible applicants to apply for such assistance.

Subject to section 1439 of this title, such criteria shall include any objective measures of housing need, project merit, or efficient use of resources that the Secretary determines are appropriate and consistent with the statute under which the assistance is made available.
(4) Documentation of decisions
(A) The Secretary shall award or allocate assistance only in response to a written application in a form approved in advance by the Secretary, except where other award or allocation procedures are specified in statute.
(B) The Secretary shall ensure that documentation and other information regarding each application for assistance is sufficient to indicate the basis on which any award or allocation was made or denied. The preceding sentence shall apply to—
(i) any application for an award or allocation of assistance made by the Secretary to a State, unit of general local government, or other recipient of assistance, and
(i) The Secretary shall notify the public of all funding decisions made by the Department. The Secretary shall require any State or unit of general local government to notify the public of the award or allocation of such funding to subsequent recipients. The notification shall include the following elements for each funding decision:
(II) the name or other means of identifying the project, activity, or undertaking for each funding recipient;
(IV) the citation to the statutory, regulatory, or other criteria under which the funding decision was made; and
(ii) The notification referred to in clause (i) of this subsection shall be published as a Notice in the Federal Register at least quarterly.
(iii) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "funding decision" means the decision of the Secretary to make available grants, loans, or any other form of financial assistance to an individual or to an entity, including (but not limited to) a State or local government or agency thereof (including a public housing agency), an Indian tribe, or a nonprofit organization, under any program administered by the Department that provides, by statute, regulation, or otherwise, for the competitive distribution of financial assistance.
(D) The Secretary shall publish a notice in the Federal Register at least annually informing the public of the allocation of assistance under section 1439 (d)(1)(A) of this title.
(E) The Secretary shall ensure that each application and all related documentation and other information referred to in subparagraph (B), including each letter of support, is readily available for public inspection for a period of not less than 5 years, beginning not less than 30 days following the date on which the award or allocation is made.
(5) Emergency exception
The Secretary may waive the requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) if the Secretary determines that the waiver is required for appropriate response to an emergency. Not less than 30 days after providing a waiver under the preceding sentence, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register the Secretary's reasons for so doing.
(b) Disclosures by applicants
The Secretary shall require the disclosure of information with respect to any application for assistance within the jurisdiction of the Department for a project application submitted to the Secretary or to any State or unit of general local government by any applicant who has received or, in the determination of the Secretary, can reasonably be expected to receive assistance within the jurisdiction of the Department in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year or such lower amount as the Secretary may establish by regulation. Such information shall include the following:
(1) Other government assistance
Information regarding any related assistance from the Federal Government, a State, or a unit of general local government, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, that is expected to be made available with respect to the project or activities for which the applicant is seeking assistance. Such related assistance shall include but not be limited to any loan, grant, guarantee, insurance, payment, rebate, subsidy, credit, tax benefit, or any other form of direct or indirect assistance.
(2) Interested parties
The name and pecuniary interest of any person who has a pecuniary interest in the project or activities for which the applicant is seeking assistance. Persons with a pecuniary interest in the project or activity shall include but not be limited to any developers, contractors, and consultants involved in the application for assistance or the planning, development, or implementation of the project or activity. For purposes of this paragraph, residency of an individual in housing for which assistance is being sought shall not, by itself, be considered a pecuniary interest.
(c) Updating of disclosure
During the period when an application is pending or assistance is being provided, the applicant shall update the disclosure required under the previous subsection within 30 days of any substantial change.
(d) Limitation of assistance
The Secretary shall certify that assistance within the jurisdiction of the Department, as such term is defined in subsection (m), except that for purposes of this subsection such term shall not include any mortgage insurance provided pursuant to title II of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1707 et seq.) [1] to any housing project shall not be more than is necessary to provide affordable housing after taking account of assistance described in subsection (b)(1) of this section. The Secretary shall adjust the amount of such assistance awarded or allocated to an applicant to compensate in whole or in part, as the Secretary determines to be appropriate, for any changes reported under subsection (c) of this section.
(e) Administrative remedies
If the Secretary receives or obtains information providing a reasonable basis to believe that a violation of subsection (b) or (c) of this section has occurred, the Secretary shall—
(1) in the case of a selection that has not been made, determine whether to terminate the selection process or take other appropriate actions; and
(2) in the case of a selection that has been made, determine whether to—
(A) void or rescind the selection, subject to review and determination on the record after opportunity for a hearing;
(B) impose sanctions upon the violator, including debarment, subject to review and determination on the record after opportunity for a hearing;
The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a descriptive statement of each determination made and action taken under this subsection.
(f) Civil money penalties
(1) In general
Whenever any person knowingly and materially violates any provision of subsection (b) or (c) of this section, the Secretary may impose a civil money penalty on that person in accordance with the provisions of this section. This penalty shall be in addition to any other available civil remedy or any available criminal penalty, and may be imposed whether or not the Secretary imposes other administrative sanctions.
(g) Agency procedures
(1) In general
The Secretary shall establish standards and procedures governing the imposition of civil money penalties under subsection (f) of this section. These standards and procedures—
(A) shall provide for the Secretary to make the determination to impose the penalty or to use an administrative entity to make the determination;
(B) shall provide for the imposition of a penalty only after the person has been given an opportunity for a hearing on the record; and
(C) may provide for review by the Secretary of any determination or order, or interlocutory ruling, arising from a hearing.
If no hearing is requested within 15 days of receipt of the notice of opportunity for hearing, the imposition of the penalty shall constitute a final and unappealable determination. If the Secretary reviews the determination or order, the Secretary may affirm, modify, or reverse that determination or order. If the Secretary does not review the determination or order, the determination or order shall be final.
(2) Factors in determining amount of penalty
In determining the amount of a penalty under subsection (f) of this section, consideration shall be given to such factors as the gravity of the offense, ability to pay the penalty, injury to the public, benefits received, deterrence of future violations, and such other factors as the Secretary may determine in regulations to be appropriate.
(h) Judicial review of agency determination
(1) In general
After exhausting all administrative remedies established by the Secretary under subsection (g)(1) of this section, a person against whom the Secretary has imposed a civil money penalty under subsection (f) of this section may obtain a review of the penalty and such ancillary issues as may be addressed in the notice of determination to impose a penalty under subsection (g)(1)(A) of this section in the appropriate court of appeals of the United States, by filing in such court, within 20 days after the entry of such order or determination, a written petition praying that the order or determination of the Secretary be modified or be set aside in whole or in part.
(2) Objections not raised in hearing
The court shall not consider any objection that was not raised in the hearing conducted pursuant to subsection (g)(1) of this section unless a demonstration is made of extraordinary circumstances causing the failure to raise the objection. If any party demonstrates to the satisfaction of the court that additional evidence not presented at the hearing is material and that there were reasonable grounds for the failure to present such evidence at the hearing, the court shall remand the matter to the Secretary for consideration of such additional evidence.
(3) Scope of review
(i) Action to collect penalty
If any person fails to comply with the determination or order of the Secretary imposing a civil money penalty under subsection (f) of this section, after the determination or order is no longer subject to review as provided by subsections (g)(1) and (h) of this section, the Secretary may request the Attorney General of the United States to bring an action in an appropriate United States district court to obtain a monetary judgment against the person and such other relief as may be available. The monetary judgment may, in the court's discretion, include the attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred by the United States in connection with the action. In an action under this subsection, the validity and appropriateness of the Secretary's determination or order imposing the penalty shall not be subject to review.
(j) Settlement by Secretary
The Secretary may compromise, modify, or remit any civil money penalty which may be, or has been, imposed under this section.
(k) Regulations
The Secretary shall issue such regulations as the Secretary deems appropriate to implement this section.
(l) Deposit of penalties
The Secretary shall deposit all civil money penalties collected under this section into miscellaneous receipts of the Treasury.
(m) Definitions
For the purpose of this section—
(3) The term "person" means an individual (including a consultant, lobbyist, or lawyer), corporation, company, association, authority, firm, partnership, society, State, local government, or any other organization or group of people.
(4) The term "assistance within the jurisdiction of the Department" includes any contract, grant, loan, cooperative agreement, or other form of assistance, including the insurance or guarantee of a loan, mortgage, or pool of mortgages.
(n) Effective date
This section shall take effect on the date specified in regulations implementing this section that are issued by the Secretary after notice and public comment.

|Peterson, Bell Selected In UFL Draft
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Tuesday, 03 May 2011 11:19
The United Football League hopes to turn its fortunes around, especially the National Football League going through an owner's lockout of its players.
On Monday night, a Southern Conference player and a former Walter Payton Award winner were selected in the five-team draft. Offensive tackle Joel Bell of Furman was selected with the fifth and final pick of the first round by the UFL champion Las Vegas Locos.

Wenn, Asadorian-Mejia/ Splash
There's an article in The Hollywood Reporter this week about Debmar-Mercury's potentially revolutionizing formula for television syndication, and I wanted to read it and think about the future of TV, but I got stuck on one of the details in the article. Debmar's syndication deal is a "10/90" structure, meaning they make a ten-episode first season, and if that hits pre-determined ratings marks, another 90 episodes is automatically ordered and produced.

Smut Loves the Low Road
Good form would be to refrain from warring publicly. To let the lawyers do the talking, like Paul McCartney, and take the high road. Charlie Sheen doesn"t even know what the high road looks like.

Denise of course is currently out and about promoting that waste of sh*t reality show of hers in which she exploits her girls. Full Story

For thy sake, tobacco, I would do anything but die. So Charles Lamb made his sad peace with the weed in the dark Nineteenth Century before American ingenuity outdid itself to bring hope to the scared smoker. Assaulted with report after unnerving laboratory report on the link between cigarettes and cancer, the nation's tobacco lords and their Madison Avenue idea men are verging on the schizophrenic. They dare not protest too much; yet, will not silence seem to mean consent to the terrible charges of medical science. Even the old familiars have been shaken.
Of all the Communist parties, both in the East and West, none is in such a peculiar and paradoxical position as die Austrian. Though backed by Red guns and money, it has been unable to obtain more than a steady five percent of the total vote in a country whose unemployment problem among its youth is phenomenal, and whose living standard during the last twenty years has suffered one of the greatest declines of any nation in Europe. Indeed so inept have Communist Efforts become that during the last elections they could find no better campaign issue than increased pensions for the aged.
Most Americans were shocked when they read, in the newspapers on May 27 and 28, that Nobel Peace Prize winner Ralph Bunche was being subjected to a long and arduous loyalty probe by the International Organizations' Employees Loyalty Board, created by President Eisenhower to examine the loyalty of American citizens employed by the United Nations. It was a closed hearing; the evidence remains secret. The New York Times and other newspapers, however, disclosed the names of his accusers: Manning Johnson and Leonard Patterson. Of the latter I have nothing to say.
The President's Remarkable Firmness The Tennessee Valley Authority needs a new plant—^with an installed capacity of 600,000 kilowatts—if it is to meet the demands of the Atomic Energy Commission: about 50 percent of TVA power goes to the AEC and another 25 percent to defense plants.
BILLINGS, MONTANA Mr. Evans Houghton, of New York and Towaco, N. J., is one of the promising employees in the Selvage, Lee & Chase advertising stables, currently much occupied with the promotion of 86-proof Old Crow. Granted, Houghton did not know, when he retained the Crow Indians to plug his bourbon, that they had voted to retain prohibition. Not until the very last moment did he learn of it. But whatever doubts and fears assailed him then, he vanquished—had vanquished years ago, on the playing fields of Hearst.
Fear is the dominant mood of Christopher Isherwood's earlier novels. To understand the situation Isherwood dramatizes think of a young man trying to write a lyric poem about Identity or Love or Life in the midst of a demolition squad busily destroying his house, his home, his country. What does history have to do with me, the composite hero ponders, and I with history? In such a world as this what meaning can be attached to private acts of art and love.' InThe Memorial the fearful mood of England after the first World War is presented through the breakdown of a family.
Some West German film producers are talking about making movies especially for the American market—another sign of industrial vitality, we may suppose. A few interesting German films have tried to buck the post-war indifference towards things German here: The Blum Affair, and Die Pledermaus, for example. But like most of the British, French and Italian films whose US success the Germans envy, these were made first and most of all for audiences in their own country.
Even months ago, the leaders-of the Grand Alliance met at Bermuda. Little was accomplished, perhaps because US spokesmen grandly assumed that "the initiative" in the Cold War had in fact been "seized" by the Alliance, or certainly by the US. Whatever the cause, Bermuda was hardly a meeting between equals, rather between the leader and his subordinates.
WASHINGTON, D.C. The present British attitude toward the United States seems to me jittery and touchy beyond any thing I can remember in past visits and protracted stays in England. The American attitude on the other hand seems to me almost arrogantly complacent. The atmosphere, broodingly explosive as a July sky before a storm, has brought Churchill and Eden to Washington. Take a concrete illustration. The State Department asked the right to search foreign ships to block aid to Guatemala.
Thomas Mann is now in his' seventy sixth year, and it is only natural that his latest work—a brief novella called in German Die Betrogene (The Deceived)—should turn to a typical crisis of old age for its central symbol. In contemporary English literature, this crisis has also preoccupied the later poetry of W.B. Yeats, another great writer whose genius has waxed rather than waned with advancing age.

Shopping for a canoe or kayak? Watch Rock/Creek paddling expert Sara Horne's boating intro!
"Getting into paddling can be pretty confusing. There are a zillion different boat options, and it can be pretty tough to decide what kind of canoe or kayak is best for what you'd like to do. Do you need a sea kayak, a recreational kayak or a touring kayak? Do you want to run creeks with multiple whitewater rapids, or load up your boat with a weekend's camping gear and paddle from island to island?"

Comments about Dagger Kayaks Axis 10.5 Kayak:
This is my second kayak. I have a 14.5 touring kayak but like a lot of people, I also needed a multipurpose kayak for downstream runs with occasional rapids that would still track well enough for use on flat water. This boat is just that. The drop skeg is a great feature that helps this boat track and make paddling on flat water more efficient. Pull the skeg up and you get the maneuverability you would expect from a boat of this length. It might feel a bit tippy to less experienced paddlers but the secondary stability quickly inspires confidence. The seat and foot pegs have considerable adjustment and the quality you would expect from a boat in this price range but for some reason, I haven't found the sweet spot on the back rest adjustment yet. It also seems to weigh a few pounds more than other boats of this length. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase. I could have saved money and bought a less expensive boat but I don't think I would have been near as happy with the performance.

Cycling gifts for children are easy to choose: it's a straightforward progression from balance bikes onwards, with bikes and kit regularly outgrown. It's harder with adults who have been cycling for years. Anything they desperately need they will have bought already.
The trick is to find something that they wouldn't necessarily have – or at least, not yet – but that they will appreciate and will still find useful.
I've divided gifts into four categories – commuting, touring, road cycling and mountain biking – but plenty can be used for any sort of cycling.
These are further sub-divided into 'book' (who doesn't like to get a book for Christmas?) and by three rough price points.

CANTON An expected appearance by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Wednesday to sign Start-Up New York legislation at SUNY Canton did not take place, but still could be in the works.
I heard he was postponing, said Canton Town Supervisor David T. Button, who had been one of those invited to the event. I was told when it was rescheduled, hed be back in touch.
The initiative was passed by the state Legislature. The Start-Up program will establish tax-free zones on SUNY and select private college campuses. Businesses that set up shop in a tax-free zone will be exempt from corporate, property and sales tax for 10 years. Employees working at businesses in the tax-free zones will not have to pay income taxes for five years.

Despite its faults and omissions, adoption of Apple's iOS 6 is still off like a rocket. The touch-friendly website conversion provider Onswipe reported the number of users who have downloaded the newly-released Apple platform for their iPhone and iPad devices. With a sample of 100,000 users coming through Onswipe's partner sites as of last Friday the company is seeing 59.43% of iPhone traffic from iOS 6 devices. 41.3% of iPad traffic is coming from those who have upgraded to the latest version.
It's obvious that a seriously flawed iOS 6 (by Apple standards) isn't enough to keep Apple's fan base away.

Friday's games were rained out and moved to Sunday. But it didn't help the CEU Golden Eagles as they dropped four close games over the weekend to Western Nevada College. On Saturday the losses were 3-5 and 2-5. On Sunday the losses were identically 5-6 in both games of the double header.
Coach Eric Madsen felt like the team played some really good ball despite the losses.
On Saturday's first game the Wildcats scored in the first. Then no one could push a run across until the fourth when WNC scored two more. CEU managed their three runs in the six and seventh. But the Wildcats scored two in the sixth to put the game in their pocket. Bradley Jackson was tagged with the loss for CEU. Eric Morgan sent one over the fence for the Eagles.
In game two on Saturday WNC score four in the first to grab the lead early and for good. They tacked on another in the second. CEU tried to come back and sent one across in the fourth and the fifth, but fell short again. Kyler Edgehouse was the Eagle losing pitcher of record.
On Sunday CEU too an early lead in game one with a two run first. They held a 5-4 lead into the fifth when the Wildcats tied it up with a run. It was still tied until the bottom of the seventh when WNC pushed the winning run across. Jackson was awarded another loss for the Eagles, but Morgan hit another homer in the loss.
In the Final game CEU again gained the upper hand with a three run first. They added to their lead in the second with another run. Ahead 5-2 heading into the bottom of the fourth, the Eagles let WNC tie it and then take the lead in the fifth for the sweep. The loss was given to pitcher Cameron Schmidt. Morgan hit his third homer of the series to give the Eagle a bright spot on the weekend.
CEU is home again this weekend with a four game series against Colorado Northwestern. Game time is 1:00 on Friday and noon on Saturday.

It may have been off to a chilly start Tuesday, but state environmental officials maintained an optimistic outlook for the north countrys trout fishing season.
The overall season is looking pretty good, said Frank M. Flack, fisheries manager for the state Department of Environmental Conservation Region 6.
One positive sign, he said, was illness at a brown trout hatchery that affected stocking last spring was not an issue this year.
However, lengthy wintry conditions have led to delays in stocking throughout the region, which covers an area from St. Lawrence to Oneida counties. For fish to survive placement in streams, Mr. Flack said, water temperatures have to increase to about 45 degrees. Because the water is so cold, he said, stocking may not begin until the end of April, and could continue until June.
Some years, he said, DEC crews have managed to do some stocking before the seasons opening.
But, Mr. Flack, who has been based in the area since 1990, said chilly conditions at the start of the season are common. Its not unusual to have to climb over 6-foot banks of snow to get to a spot, he said.
A self-described big stream fisherman, he said he is waiting for water temperatures to rise to about 50 degrees.
When the black flies come out, thats when the fishing gets good, he said.
Anglers will get a little more value for their fishing licenses this season. The cost of a license is now $25, down from $29. Whats more, a fishing license is now good for 365 days after purchase, instead of expiring at the end of the Oct. 1 to Sept. 30 season.
More information about getting a fishing license can be found at http://wdt.me/xc6k9P.

To truly enjoy the works of Shakespeare, Hamlet must be heckeled at times.
Thats what students in Watertown High Schools Drama Club are discovering as they stage the two-act spoof I Hate Shakespeare! by Steph DeFerie this Friday and Saturday.
As demonstrated by a recent rehearsal, the romp gently pokes fun at Shakespeare while demonstrating his relevance to todays world.
It begins with an unhappy person in the audience. As Hamlet ponders To be, or not to be, senior Alphonse V. Renzi, as the unhappy person, gives the character a hard time.
Be quiet or Ill throw my skull at you, Hamlet, played by Chris Gurule, tells the unhappy person.
But the unhappy person persists.
Hes soooo boring, he says. Admit it the plays are too long and complicated, nobody understands the words and the jokes arent funny.
After the unhappy person is invited to the stage, I Hate Shakespeare takes stranger turns. Zombies try to stage Richard III. Characters from Othello appear on the Jerry Springer Show. Shakespeare marries Mr. Drysdales secretary from The Beverly Hillbillies.
Once Hamlet and my character have a bit of a debate, it basically turns into this whole spoof, Alphonse said. It takes everything that has to do with Shakespeare and makes fun of it. Not in a bad way, but in a kind of way so people can understand it.
Club adviser and English teacher Leonard J. Planes said some of the plays action will be filmed beforehand. That aspect will be shown on a drop-down screen.
Costumes in the show were donated by SUNY Oswego costume professor Kitty Macy and costume shop supervisor Judy McCabe. The drama club regularly attends the annual drama festival at SUNY Oswego, where Mr. Planes is an alumnus.
We all went on a day trip and they loaned us the costumes, Mr. Planes said. They are beautiful.
The play touches on nearly 10 Shakespeare plays, focusing on well-known lines.
We take that, put it through a big machine and it comes out like a flip book, said senior Nathaniel S. Haga, who plays Macbeth and Iago. Its simple and fun.
The show ends with Pucks soliloquy from A Midsummer Nights Dream: If we shadows have offended. ...
And somebody gets a pie in the face, said Alphonse.
n n n
The cast of I Hate Shakespeare presented by the Drama Club at Watertown High School: Chris Gurule as Hamlet, Alphonse Renzi as the unhappy person in the audience, Alyssa Heath as the cheerleader and witch, Peyton Caldwell as Gertrude, Jonathan Ehlinger as Claudius, the messenger and Bob, Matthew Bradley as Ophelia, Laertes and Shakespeare, Taylor McCown as traditional Juliet and Lady Macbeth, Britney Ruiz as modern Juliet and Brandon Bruso as the emcee.
Also, Raymond Mabee as Richard III, Macduff and Count Paris, Taylor Burrows as the narrator/director, Christalle Kao-Johnson as the British historian, Chris Seymour as Jerry Springer, Mikayla Jones as Desdemona, Abdul Kamara as Othello, Nathaniel Haga as Iago and Macbeth, Haidon Moss as Ted, Isabella Sofia as Sheila, Nic Price as Dick, Duncan and Burbage, Erika Rust as the cow, Jayden Feistamel as Banquo and Romeo, Taylor Sinclair as Miss Purdie and Jessica Shipley as Puck.

MSF surgeon Paul McMaster has worked with MSF in Haiti, Syria, Sri Lanka, and several other emergencies. He recently returned from South Sudan, where conflict erupted last December, after which MSF quickly expanded its already far-reaching efforts in the country. In five weeks, teams responding to this crisis carried out 71,973 consultations, hospitalized 2,710 patients (including 1,600 children under 5), treated 1,252 war-wounded patients, and assisted in 1,610 deliveries. In an article originally published in the Guardian (UK), he described his experience:
I was phoned by MSF's emergency desk on the weekend before Christmas. The fighting in South Sudan had broken out a few days before, and I was asked if I'd take in an emergency team to get some extra surgical capacity into the areas where the fighting was really intense. We left the next day.
We went first to Bentiu, the capital of Unity State. There had been fighting in the town the day before; the markets had been trashed and looted, and the doctors had left the local hospital. We found a ward full of about 45 quite severely wounded people, so we set about trying to help them medically. I started operating that evening. But the situation was deteriorating, and there were rumors of a major attack on the town. The next morning we were evacuated.
The town was extremely tense as we left. Lots of men with guns were walking around. Small columns of people with bundles were heading out across the main bridge.
Not long after, government forces went in and took over Bentiu. By then the population had disappeared to small villages and to the bush. Another MSF team went in five days later but again was pulled out because of disturbances. Our compound was trashed and looted and broken up, so it remained a very tense situation.
From Bentiu, we flew to Nasir. There had been fighting in the area all week and MSF's hospital was full of casualties. We worked for 36 hours with the local MSF team, with the surgeon and I doing some complex cases. Then we left for Lankien, where more casualties were coming in.
Lankien is a small, remote town of mud huts. When we got there the town was crowded; the population of 7,000 had more than doubled with people fleeing the fighting, and the hospital was full of casualties and distressed people…. We treated 130 to 140 people with gunshot wounds over the next three or four weeks.
The majority were young men of 16 or 17, some younger, who had been injured in the fighting to the north of us in Malakal, or to the south of us in Bor. They were brought to us two or three days after being injured, with major gunshot wounds and fractures, all of which were contaminated with dust and becoming infected. It took a lot of work to prevent these wounds developing blood poisoning and sepsis.
There were also a significant number of civilians, including children, who had been wounded in the fighting. One young boy of 11 had been shot in the spine and was paralyzed from the waist down. I operated twice, and although I was able to remove the bullets and repair the area, I very much doubt he will be able to walk again.
Late one evening I was asked to see a girl of about 12 who had been convulsing and had other medical problems. We worked hard, and I was thrilled to see her in the morning looking very much better and with a good prospect of a full recovery. But I was anguished to see that her caretaker was her nine-year-old brother. Her father had stayed in Malakal, and I don't know what had happened to her mother. I had to wonder what the future held for this little girl.
The hospital itself was under great pressure. A lot of our admissions were ordinary people who had made the three-day trek from either Bor or Malakal, walking through the heat of the day. They had no food and very little water and some of them were simply collapsing from exhaustion. The number of outpatient consultations tripled in our clinics, which were overwhelmed.
It's imperative that we keep up our work to provide essential medical care and emergency surgical care across the country—that we manage to keep our teams safe enough to carry on working with the wounded and the people who have been displaced from their homes. I don't know of any other organization that could do what MSF is doing there right now.

PHILADELPHIA When Red Cross volunteers respond to a disaster, they bring comfort kits to show victims how much they are cared for by surrounding communities.
Indian River High School students did just that as the Students Against Destructive Decisions chapter collected personal hygiene and home-comfort items to make up 22 comfort kits for the Red Crosss Hurricane Sandy relief effort.
That was closer to us, said Hannah E. Miterko, 18. It could have happened to us, and we would have wanted to get help.
Miss Miterko, club secretary, and Justin M. Mattingly, 17, who coordinated the effort, loaded an American Red Cross of Northern New York car with kits that had a soap bar, shampoo bottle, toothbrush, toothpaste, washcloth, comb, crayons, an activity or coloring book, tissues, a journal and pencils.
Although comfort kits are available to adults and children, the high school seniors said they chose to help children because students can better relate to them.
Jane G. Gendron, NNY chapter executive, picked up the goods Monday at the high school, 32925 Route 11, along with Tracy Slate, program coordinator.
This enforces the fact that young people know what the Red Cross does, Mrs. Gendron said. We want to make sure were here when anyone needs us.
That includes both out-of-town and north country residents. Mrs. Gendron said Red Cross volunteers are being dispatched to fires once or twice a week throughout Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
Whether its for hurricane relief, another natural disaster, fires or shelter openings, the Red Cross gives comfort kits to those who need a little piece of home convenience after experiencing one of those unfortunate situations.
Mrs. Gendron said comfort kits collected by Indian River High School students will be sent this week to Staten Island because they still dont have power and individuals are in shelters.
She added residents will probably find a use for them.
Im sure they wont go to waste, she said.
Whether its collecting items for comfort kits, organizing a blood drive, hosting dress-down days for donations or seeking volunteer opportunities, Mrs. Gendron said youths may help the nonprofit group in several ways. For more information, Mrs. Gendron may be reached via telephone at 782-4410.

While the Obama administration has been busy trying to take over the nation's healthcare system through ObamaCare — sparking soaring insurance premiums, exploding federal deficits, serious economic pain, and more problems to come — a leading medical professional has a better idea. In an exclusive video interview (found below), Dr. Alieta Eck, co-founder of the Zarephath Health Center and former president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, offered her prescription for real solutions to the nation's healthcare crisis.
"Many people have thought that ObamaCare would be the answer to taking care of the poor, but this is just not the case," explained Dr. Eck, a respected specialist in internal medicine based in New Jersey who knows how the system works and takes care of the poor at her free clinic. "All that ObamaCare will do is add layers and layers of more government bureaucracy on a healthcare system that is overburdened."
The mandates and the meddling of the federal government on the physician-patient relationship, she added, will be a disaster. "Doctors are not going to be able to use their clinical judgment, they're going to be asked to follow algorithms and structures set up by bureaucrats," Dr. Eck explained. "Doctors won't be able to have choices as to what they do for patients, and patients won't have choices about what doctors they can see."
Unlike most politicians in Washington, D.C., Dr. Eck actually understands healthcare and how it can best be delivered to the poor. Almost a decade ago, Dr. Eck and her husband, Dr. John Eck, founded the Zarephath Health Center, a clinic that offers free medical care to the poor using donated services and supplies. The center sees between 300 and 400 patients every month, making it a shining example of how healthcare services can be delivered to those in need without federal intervention or mandates.
"We started the Zarephath Health Center because we saw a need that wasn't being met," Dr. Eck told The John Birch Society in an interview as part of its ongoing Choose Freedom — Stop ObamaCare campaign promoting common-sense, free-market, constitutional solutions to healthcare. "We saw people who were very frustrated because they had the government insurance, but they couldn't find a physician to take care of them."

Donnie Murphy Hits Free Agency
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [October 19, 2012 at 11:10am CST]
Donnie Murphy refused a minor league assignment, choosing instead to hit free agency, according to the transactions page at CBSSports.com. The Marlins outrighted the utility player to their Triple-A affiliate two days ago. Murphy, 29, appeared in 52 games for the Marlins this past season, playing second base, third base and shortstop. He posted a .216/.281/.379 batting line in 129 plate appearances and missed some time with a strained hamstring.
This guy might be someone we should bring to ST next year. 2B is going to be a BIG question and he can play multiple positions along with 2B. I don't see him as ever scaring anyone at the plate, but he would be worth offering a healthy bonus to sign a MINOR LEAGUE contract and allow him an opt out date, say around June 1st.
Here are his stats http://www.baseball-reference.com/playe ... do01.shtml

Revis Watch: Jets and Revis $40 Million Apart
It appears we have finally found the biggest stumbling block in the negotiations, Ladies and Gentlemen. According to Gary Myers of the Daily News, both the Jets and Camp Revis have 10 year deals on the table however the total compensation is about $40 million apart. Myers breaks it down after the jump.
The Daily News has learned the Jets have had a 10-year, $120 million offer on the table for months as one of their two proposals. Although the Jets continue to insist "we are flexible on how the guaranteed money is structured, including the areas of signing bonus, roster bonus and option bonus," they have not yet attached a specific dollar figure to any of those areas.
The Jets say they need to agree to the total compensation before negotiating the guarantees. It's hard to argue with a $120 million deal that contains sufficient guaranteed money, which would be about $25 million-$30 million.
Revis has been looking to surpass Oakland's Nnamdi Asomugha as the highest-paid cornerback. Over the next two seasons, Asomugha will average $16.5 million. So do the math on a 10-year deal. That brings the number Revis wants in the $160 million range. Guaranteed money? Probably about $30 million.
"The proposal I gave to the Jets on Friday reflected the fact Darrelle Revis wants to be a Jet for life," agent Neil Schwartz said Tuesday.
For life? How about a couple of lifetimes?
Of course, the numbers on long-term deals inflate the total dollars to unrealistic totals, which the player will often not see at the back end of his career. In either offer, Revis would own the largest contract in the NFL – until Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Drew Brees sign new deals. But the key, of course, is how much of that money is guaranteed to find its way into Revis' pockets?
"The Jets have never given us a proposal with one dollar in signing bonus or one dollar in fully guaranteed money," Schwartz said. "I don't care what they say."
The Jets say when they agree on total dollars, they will talk guarantees.
One other thing: The so-called Band-Aid proposal – wonder if those are Johnson & Johnson Band-Aids? – the Jets made two days before camp opened on Aug. 1 is a four-year deal for $40 million. Again, the Jets have not yet attached a figure next to the guarantee column.
Initially in the proposal, the $1 million Revis is scheduled to make this year would be bumped to about $4 million. If Revis had not been holding out and played out the last three years of his contract, it would total $21 million with $20 million of it guaranteed. If the Jets then franchised him, he would make about $18 million in 2013. That would bring the four-year total to $39 million with $38 million guaranteed. The Band-Aid is $40 million with the guarantees yet to be decided.
Breaking down all this information, it is obvious that it was never about guarantees (for the moment anyway) instead it is about Revis milking it for all that its worth. And while Schwartz did not lie about the Jets refusing to provide guarantees and signing bonus' he forgot to mention that total compensation had to be agreed upon first.
The fact of the matter is that either contract will give Revis the biggest contract in the NFL nevermind at the cornerback position so I ask how is it possible that both sides cannot find some common ground?
Cap tip to Brenden for the heads up!

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
After an uncertain year in 2010-2011, which saw the Carbon School District bring back retired Superintendent Patsy Bueno temporarily amid allegations against administrative hire George Park, local educators and students alike are ready for established leadership from the district's top spot. Recently hired Superintendent Steve Carlsen has taken that position and reports a bright future for education in Carbon County.
"I think leadership in education in a major challenge, one I enjoy undertaking," said Carlsen from his newly decorated office this summer. "Kids in high school have their whole life ahead of them, it's an exciting time and to have the opportunity to influence them at that point in their journey is an amazing privilege."
For Carlsen, leadership began on the football field, where he finished his playing career as a full-back for Brigham Young University.
"You know I was in on the winning play of the Miracle Bowl," said Carlsen with a smile. "What everyone remembers is McMahon's Hail-Mary but that touchdown only tied the game. I was the up-back on the extra-point and that's the play that won the game."
Following his days on the field, Carlsen went after what he called a "football coaching dream," for 10 years while teaching in Idaho. After gaining his administrative degree during his 11th year of teach first school leadership job as the principal at Bear Lake High School.
"I really enjoyed my time as a principal," said Carlsen. "There is a tremendous amount of reward in that work. You get to work with the kids one-on-one, see them grow. That becomes much more difficult to do as a superintendent."
According to the new Carbon administrator, working with troubled youth quickly became one of his favorite ventures as a principal, doing what he could to help students who were struggling to "right the ship."
"Some of my best memories in education come from working with a sophomore who is in trouble and then getting the chance to see him graduate, partly because of something you did," explained Carlsen.
The district administrator reported that after three great years of work as a high school principal, the opportunity to become North Summit's Superintendent presented itself and Carlsen made the jump.
While most in the Castle Valley think of this area as a small community, it will mean a sizable increase in student numbers for Carlsen, who ended up spending 10 years at North Summit's top spot. The North Summit District is comprised of only three schools and 1,000 total students.
"At Carbon the differences are obvious," said Carlsen while discussing his plans for local students. "This district has many more facilities and students, however I have found that students tend to all react very well to positive leadership and that is the main thing I hope to bring to this area."
On a more tangible scale, the superintendent discussed projects which will effect local education in the coming years.
"Because of some personnel issues in the last year, several facility and building projects were put on hold," he explained. "We are in the process of bringing those projects back up to speed. We are currently working very hard on a stable 10 and 25 year plan for the district.
Carlsen was direct however about needing to see how the Carbon District operates before making any major changes.
"Moving forward, my plan is to evaluate based on what I witness this school year," he concluded. "After that I will evaluate the specifics of what the district and the school board plan to accomplish. As the superintendent, I hope to make the local school system as successful and efficient as possible."

Oregon Marines hit by IEDs in Taliban hotspot
EN ROUTE TO COMBAT OUTPOST SHIR GHAZAY, Afghanistan - "Everyone make sure their helmets and seatbelts are on," says Cpt Ryan Bumgardner, 29, of Hood River, Ore., "and the doors are locked."
Outside, several Marines watch the convoy leave the gate.
"Be sure to tighten those chin straps," one Marine calls out as the trucks kick up dirt and drive toward the open desert.
The convoy of over 30 trucks and over 100 packs (Marines), including a platoon of Oregon Marines, is headed to Shir Ghazay.
The Oregon Marines from 2nd Platoon of the 6th Engineer Support Battalion (ESB) will perform security for the 9th ESB that will improve up to 10 kilometers of road.
Their destination, Combat Outpost Shir Ghazay, is located just 15 kilometers from Sangin, a current Taliban hotspot. The road leading there has a high possibility of being littered with IEDs.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY: IEDs are contributing to an epidemic among service men and women
For most of the Marines, IEDs rate last place on the list of threats you want to face. Small arms fire is the most favorable option, especially inside heavily armed and armored vehicles.
RPGs come as an undesirable but still second place threat when racked up against IEDs.
For Bumgardner, the open road holds all three threats and other challenges.
"A lot of the focus is on the lack of roads, high IED threats and the vehicles we take, some of the bigger logistical ones aren't made for this kind of terrain," says Bumgardner referring to construction equipment. "So I'd say a good ninety percent of the battle is just getting to where we're going."
Although the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All Terrain Vehicles (MATV) are built to withstand explosives, Marines still face the possibility of suffering painful concussions.
Before this day, the 2nd Platoon of Oregon Marines had only encountered one IED blast. Although the men suffered from concussions, no one was critically injured.
The problem about working in a war zone is that at any moment everything can change. After several hours of driving, Marines begin to wonder not if but when they will get hit.
"This is where the fun starts, kids," says Bumgardner trying to add levity to a stressful situation as they reach the most dangerous portion of road.
These next 21 kilometers hold the highest possibility for an IED find or strike.
Along the way, Marines point at soft, sandy areas, which could be ideal spots for IEDs to be buried. The convoy avoids the main route to Sangin where multiple IEDs have exploded in the last 30 days. The trucks move only five to 10 miles per hour over terrain that rocks the vehicle like a boat on stormy seas. All conversations inside the truck is now focused on the road.
"This is the nerve racking part," says Bumgardner scanning the sand from behind the view of the windshield. There are lines of rocks, which could indicate an area for the locals to stay clear of, but it's hard to tell if the Marines are in front of or behind the line.
In the turret, the gunner LCpl Martin Larson, 20, of Portland, Ore., watches as people standing outside return inside as the convoy rolls by.
"I get kind of nervous around compounds where there's no people around," says Larson scanning the area for any other suspicious activity.
"We're doing good, just never been in this area before so its always a little tricky with the high IED threat," says Bumgardner. "It's only compounding things, but we're doing good staying on established routes."
The convoy tries to follow already made tracks from the small civilian population.
At about 3 p.m., the first vehicle on the convoy passes by a partially exploded yellow jug, a cardboard box, wires and a crater in the sand. The Marines in the truck and Bumgardner discuss the best way to continue on. They decide to go around the right of these objects, which appear to be evidence of a botched IED plant.
"It looked like it had been poorly packed or something along those lines, as an IED," recalls LCpl Shay Miles, 21, Roseburg, Ore., several hours later at the outpost. He was driving the lead vehicle at the time. "We saw that and changed our direction. We were just extra vigilant after seeing that."
Within a few minutes of moving directions there is a loud explosion and a cloud of dust.
The first vehicle of the convoy is hit by an IED.
"I hesitated for a moment, like what the hell just happened, just natural instinct," says Miles.
Inside the truck Cpl Titus Rencher breaks Miles's daze by telling him to keep driving. "We mobbed out of there about 300 meters as fast as we possibly could," says Miles.
No one is injured, but the truck has lost a tire and pieces of rubber from the mud flap flew into the turret. Bumgardner estimates that the IED can't be more than 40 pounds, which classifies it as a soft hit. The gunner has a headache, but the truck is still mobile.
"There was no concussion from it. It was kind of loud, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting," says Miles. "I was expecting more of a concussion and for it to be louder."
The trucks resume travel, only four kilometers from Combat Outpost Shir Ghazay.
After moving only a few kilometers, a vehicle closer to the middle of the convoy is hit by another 40-pound IED. Bumgardner receives a radio call from the truck: the gunner's ears are ringing, but no one is injured.
The Marines are on the northeast edge of an IED hotspot. They are two and a half kilometers from the outpost.
Soon the trucks are ready to roll again. The trucks follow civilian tracks that weave in and out of the main road through a compound of small mud buildings.
"I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling from the locals here," says LCpl Bryan Bush, 21, of Hillsboro, Ore., as Afghans stand in the street watching the convoy drive by.
At 6 p.m. after 10 hours inside the trucks, the convoy stops at Combat Outpost Shir Ghazay. The trucks pull in outside the outpost, as there is not enough room inside to host such a large party of Marines.
As night falls the bulldozer pushes up a berm for security and Marines carry their cots across the sand to set up camp for the night. Headlights glow in the darkness and the sand fogs the air. Oregon Marines only have a month or so left before their deployment is over and then they will make their journey back home to the lakes, rivers, mountains and forests of Oregon.
Until then they will travel farther north to Sangin, they will perform security and do their best to avoid the dangers of road improvements in a war zone.
If the road improvements help win the hearts and minds of the locals and save more military lives then all of this will be worth the effort.
For now the Marines focus on the smaller picture, keeping one another safe and completing the task handed to them.
