After a barrage of bad press for city authorities, a 94-year-old Wisconsin farmer in Oak Creek finally won a long eminent domain battle with officials trying to seize his property for corporate interests. But despite the recent victory, big government is not done with Earl Giefer just yet.
"It ain't over … They're not going to give up," Giefer told The Daily Reporter after the city gave up on its plan to seize his property by declaring it blighted. "They're going to make things so miserable for me that I can't stand it."

Wednesday, July 10, 2013
By Joseph Andrew Lee
When a soldier, sailor, airman or Marine gets out of the military and steps into the civilian job market, there's a severe learning curve.
"Sometimes it seems like they'd almost prefer the more painful experience of learning first-hand, but I'm here to tell you that you don't have to go that route," said Ahmad Burse, a retired Army sergeant first class and independent business coach with Entrepreneur's Source. "This is one of those times when experience really does hurt, and a simple workshop can make all the difference."
While personal connections are still key, Burse said companies' move to automated, web-based recruiting efforts mean the resume is "your golden ticket to an interview."
"Hire Heroes USA knows their stuff. They are experts at helping you market yourself. They've been there, done that, and they are here to tell you — I'm here to tell you — that a well-written resume is worth its weight in gold."
After 23 years as an infantryman, Burse was ready to retire. But he didn't want his career progression to end. He had a knack for organizational leadership and decided he would finish his master's degree in organizational leadership and seek out a professional civilian career after leaving the Army. In March 2012, while assigned to Fort Bragg, N.C.'s warrior transition battalion, he was told about the two-day USO/Hire Heroes USA Transition Workshop.
USO/Hire Heroes USA Transition Workshops are a starting point primarily for wounded, ill and injured troops, their spouses and caregivers to integrate them into the civilian workplace. The workshop trainers are a combination of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, former corporate human resources specialists and recruiters and career counselors who provide insights to the troops going through this process.
With a 5-to-1 attendee-to-instructor ratio, these informative workshops complement existing military and government programs, helping troops understand how their military experience translates into the civilian world and teaching them how to present themselves on paper and in person to potential employers. Attendees receive sample resumes of people with similar military occupational specialties to their own to use as templates for building their resumes, and even participate in mock interviews with local employers at the close of the workshop.
"Hire Heroes USA didn't help me become an organizational leader in one civilian company," Burse said. "What they did was give me the confidence to know that I could be an organizational leader in any company, and not to pigeonhole myself like so many transitioning military do.
"Just because you were a military intelligence person while you were in, doesn't mean there's a military intelligence position waiting for you on the civilian side," he added. "You need to take all your skills and throw them against the wall, making them adaptable to any environment — then you'll be successful."
Burse's first order of business at the USO/Hire Heroes USA Transition Workshop was to list his skills and experience. Then, a coach helped him turn everything military into "civilian business speak."
"There was a lot that I had done," Burse said, "but I was only able to express those accomplishments in military terms and how I understood them. Hire Heroes USA gave me the vocabulary and the knowledge to bridge that gap. They worked with me one-on-one, which was very effective, and the experiences of each of the facilitators also broadened my horizons."
After crafting his resume, the next step was to practice what he was preaching on paper — to participate in a mock interview.
"When you say out loud why you're successful, it really helps you be successful again," Burse said. "The mock interviews helped me to vocalize my accomplishments in a specific, 'I was able to improve X by doing Y' formula, and it made me feel afterwards like … hold on … I can do this!"
As a successful business coach today, Burse gives back by volunteering with Hire Heroes USA. He still finds veterans are unaware of exactly what it takes to sustain their quality of life on the civilian side.
"When I talk to soldiers who are transitioning, I'm usually ensuring their credit scores are good and that they have planned to be out of work for six to nine months," Burse said, "because that's unfortunately the national average. That's scary if you can't properly forecast what you will need because you don't know what has been included in your pay all these years, such as food, rent, insurance or even major differences in taxable income."
USO/Hire Heroes USA Transition Workshops are free, and the USO coordinates with local military commands on both logistics and recruiting for the workshops.
"Hire Heroes is brought in by an organization who knows us better than any — the USO — so common sense tells me this is a better program than the cookie-cutter, rubber-stamp stuff the government makes us go through," Burse said. "These people are taking the time to sit down with you one-on-one in order to understand everything you've done and help you communicate that to the hiring world. That's huge.
"In all honesty I'm also guilty of underestimating the value of the workshop. When soldiers transition there's a lot of information thrown at us and we tend to put blinders on. But this is your transition, nobody else's. Take ownership of it and make sure you take advantage of everything available. This is that one thing that can help get you in the door. This is that one thing you need to take seriously."

January 2, 2015 - I bought the brown, green, multicolor and purple scarfs for gifts and one for myself. Love the colors! I wanted to keep them all, but didn't! My only complaint is the weave is VERY loose so it is easily picked. At first I was disappointed how light weight the scarf is but after wearing it I was fine with it. It kept me warm in the cold wind.
November 23, 2014 - Good value for the price. Might be a little itchy for some people. I like it to keep the chill off my neck with my lightweight down jacket and it's not so warm that I can't leave it on inside, ususally.
November 23, 2014 - I bought the multicolor scarf; the colors are beautiful, and the scarf is a good length. Suitable for wear with a coat outdoors or as an accessory with a t-shirt or sweater.
March 27, 2014 - I love this scarf. The color is perfect, and workmanship is great.
November 22, 2013 - I love this scarf! I got the multicolor and it is beautiful. It is delicate but warm. I am wearing it today.

BUFFALO, NY - The city's Zoning Board of Appeals on Wednesday unanimously denied a variance to an east side man, who sought permission to sell legal firearms out of his home in a residentially zoned neighborhood.
Howard Slaughter told WGRZ-TV that his plan never involved having a display of weapons for sale at his house on Adams Street
Instead, Slaughter, a licensed armed security guard, planned to run a sort of mail order operation from his residence in the city's Broadway Fillmore neighborhood.
There, he explained, guns would be individually shipped, upon being ordered by his clients after he assisted them in obtaining permits...and once they completed a firearms safety course which Slaughter --as a certified rifle and pistol instructor-- would teach.
However, Ellicott District Common Council Member Darius Pridgen appeared before the board to remind them of the outcome of a community meeting held one week ago, where neighborhood residents shared their input.
"Of the thirty or so residents who lived nearby and who came to that meeting, they were one hundred percent against this project," Pridgen said.
Early on in the proceeding it appeared Slaughter's request was destined for denial, when board members began raising concerns that guns being could be stolen from Slaughters house, or even from those who arrived to deliver them.
"You really are not protected... you really need to get a secure location," board Chairman James Lewis told Slaughter, while holding up a picture of Slaughter's home.
"We generally favor the neighborhood residents, and their opinions are more important than the one business that might benefit from it," said Zoning Board member Anthony Diina following the vote to deny Slaughter's request.
Diina also said he has no opposition to legal firearms.
"I myself am a licensed firearm owner, and an instructive range officer," he said.
Diina and Lewis also said their votes to deny the application were not swayed by the school shootings in Newtown Connecticut, which have pitched the nation toward a rousing debate on gun control.
"No," said Lewis. "Because the impending danger was still there."
The denial pretty much brings Slaughters bid to sell guns from his home to an end, and when asked he stated he had no plans to open a traditional gun store in a commercially zones area, mostly because he never planned to sell enough guns to support such an operation.

Does anyone know the story behind why Suehiro's closed and whether the owners/chefs are in any new places?
Or where I can find a dish resembling the nitsuke butterfish-over tofu dish Suehiros used to serve?
Posted 15 January 2005 - 02:01 AM
I remember going there and eating tonkatsu when I was six or seven years old. . .
Butterfish nitsuke over tofu - there's got to be other places that serve it, even after the Wisteria closed down. Or it may be a long shot - you can ask someplace that serves butterfish nitsuke if they would prepare it tofu style for you. . . can't be that much of a stretch. . .

How can? They had great reviews and were just named on the Advertiser's Hawai`i's Best Restaurants list. Sorry to say we didn't go that often ourselves but it seemed they were doing decent business.
Anyone with any insight? So sad. . .

Speaking of places that closed, we were in Kaimuki the other day and after a lot of wandering around decided to head over to Sis Kitchen. Only to find it closed - on a Friday night. Asked the lady over at the Kahuku Papaya place next to it and she said they had gone out of business.
So sad. . .
That is a shocker, SK. I was in there not even a month or so ago and there was no hint something was up. Business seemed good so maybe it was a personal family thing. I'm going to miss that place - it was one of my two favs in Kaimuki.

Thanks wesza. . . . the Ala Moana Flamingo Chuckwagon and the Pearl City Tavern were both landmark places whose niche hasn't been filled (at least not by any locally-owned restaurants).
BTW, we were finally able to check out Mary Jane's Kitchen (aka Gohyangjip), based on kaukaulesa's fine review in last week's Honolulu Weekly. It was just as good as you mentioned - really unique among Korean restaurants here in its honest appreciation of regional specialties. Unlike other places, that generally focus on standardized Seoul-centered menu, Mary Jane's carries a lot of dishes from the Southwestern (Jeolla-do) region of Korea, that you can't get elsewhere.
Here's a sample of what we ate. Thanks, again kaukaulesa, for the great tip.
Well, SK, this restaurant was included in the right column. I had lunch there yesterday (panchan came out just like your picture) and heard about the planned sale of the business. Those of you who want to eat interesting Korean food need to get down there before Mom Shin moves on.

Do you guys remember last year the Willows trying to change its image with a tasting-plates spot in its Rainbow Room? Well, chef Jay Matsukawa, after a stint at the Plaza Club, is back with a new rerstaurant in the Rainbor Room. Now it will be called J at the Willows. He'll be doing a French-Japanese fusion (shades of Hiroshi Fukui?). Opening July 29.
Just noticed a Philly cheesesteak place on Bishop Street. It's been there for three months. Ono Cheese Steak. A 7-inch philly classic is $4. They do a Hawaiian style version with kalua pork.
Also, Spices on King Street is worth trying for the Laotian curry and Burmese khao soi. Andchef Pony's housemade ice cream is really different for this town. Lemongrass-and-chili ice cream rocks. Spicy cold stuff!
I just got an e-mail from Jay Matsukawa. Here's the initial menu of J:
Dinner Menu
Tuesday thru Saturday
Fresh Japan Hamachi Carpaccio
Thinly sliced Island Hamachi in a citrus and Hawaiian chili pepper sauce. Garnished with fresh garlic slices, Black sesame seeds, and roasted garlic and Shiso oil
Oxtail "Pot Au Feu"
Slow cooked oxtail served with a flavorful coriander infused broth. Accompanied by Waimanalo micro greens
Blue Crab and Lobster Cake
A blue crab and Lobster cake sautéed and served with a Tarragon vinaigrette and Waimanalo micro greens
Chilled Portobella Mushroom and Roasted peppers
Thinly sliced Portobella mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella cheese marinated with an Anchovy and Citrus herb vinaigrette
Potato and Cheese Croquette with Warm Spicy Scallops
Deep fried potato cheese croquettes topped with a scallop and tobiko caviar mixture. Served warm with an Asian style plum sauce

King Tsin, on its comeback try, could not succeed where Yuen's Garden and Golden Crown had failed before. The Beretenia location will now house a Mexican restaurant.
However, a branch of the popular Hong Kong noodle house, Mini Garden, has opened close by and has received very good reviews.
The Moiliili area remains a very competitive market, with Golden Dynasty, Kirin, Maple Garden, Mini Garden, Golden Eagle, On On, McCully Chop Suey, and perhaps Fook Yuen vying for supremacy in what is characterized as "Japanese" neighborhood.
Posted 30 August 2005 - 08:26 PM
We have followed the Wang's from the Beretania location, to McCully and Young and then were
so glad he reopened further down Young St. I really enjoyed his food and some of my happiest
memories from when we first moved to HI 20 years ago took place at King Tsin on Beretania.
Much aloha to them and maybe they can reopen somewhere else!! a hui hou........

Columbia Inn still has its Kaimuki location operating, though under new ownership (not the Kaneshiro family).
My ears are burning. If any readers have stories about the old Columbia Inn (Kapiolani), I'd love to hear them. I'm Tosh Kaneshiro's granddaughter, but a katonk who was still pretty young when the place turned over to Kyotaru.
Of course my family tells me some stories, but I am always on the lookout for more!
No stories here but I really liked the oxtail ramen at Columbia Inn.

And, as Mochihead and I discussed in my eGullet Foodblog (A Tropical Christmas in the Suburbs) last week, 99 Ranch Market will also be closing by the end of February. It's a franchise, and I guess wasn't making enough profit.
Whatever happened to the Evergreen? My parents used to take me there back in the 50's. I think that it was on Kapiolani, but am not sure.

UNECE Regional Advisers
UNECE regional advisory activities are funded from the Regular Programme of Technical Cooperation (RPTC). Under the RPTC, the United Nations supports the building of countries' capacities to keep development commitments and achieve internationally agreed development goals.
The RPTC resources are utilized by UNECE for providing flexible and demand-driven technical assistance to its member States with economies in transition. This assistance, provided by the UNECE Regional Advisers, concentrates on the following six priority areas identified by UNECE member States:, Environment, Transport, Statistics, Economic Cooperation and Integration, Sustainable Energy, and Trade.
Activities of the UNECE Regional Advisers, who are experts in their respective fields, are focused on achieving the following main objectives:
- to increase knowledge of internationally recognised standards/best practices in countries of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia, and South-East Europe and to improve their national capacities to implement the UNECE legally binding instruments and other regional standards;
- to strengthen the ability of countries with economies in transition to formulate and implement policies aimed at the achievement of internationally agreed development goals in the UNECE region;
- to assist countries with economies in transition in finding solutions to cross-border problems through improving transboundary cooperation.
UNECE Regional Advisers provide short-term advisory services and expertise to assist countries with economies in transition in their implementation of UNECE legal instruments, norms and standards. Apart from advisory services, they also participate in the organization of national capacity-building activities and the implementation of other specific technical cooperation projects.
Furthermore, the Regional Advisers assist countries to formulate development projects/proposals and are active in fund-raising. Their activities facilitate the sharing of experience and good practices among the UNECE membership. On their missions to member States and UNDP offices, they provide insights on the activities of the UNECE, including in the other UNECE areas of work. In addition, wherever possible, they identify cross-sectoral synergies and engage in technical cooperation activities of a cross-sectoral nature.
As UNECE does not have country offices, its Regional Advisers play an important role in establishing cooperative ties with national, regional and international organizations active in the fields of concern to the Commission. They also channel country requests for assistance to the UNECE secretariat. Some of the Regional Advisers serve as UNECE focal points on sub-regional country groupings and initiatives.

As of May 2013 the unemployment rate in America was stuck at 7.6% with many more Americans having given up on looking for work. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Gang Leader for a Day CD (Compact Disc)
The story of the young sociologist who studied a Chicago crack-dealing gang from the inside captured the world's attention when it was first described in Freakonomics. Gang Leader for a Day is the fascinating full story of how Sudhir Venkatesh managed to gain entrée into the gang, what he learned, and how his method revolutionized the academic establishment.
When Venkatesh walked into an abandoned building in one of Chicago's most notorious housing projects, he was looking for people to take a multiple-choice survey on urban poverty. A first-year grad student, he would befriend a gang leader named JT and spend the better part of the next decade inside the projects under JT's protection, documenting what he saw there.
Over the next seven years, Venkatesh observed JT and the rest of the gang as they operated their crack selling business, conducted PR within their community, and rose up or fell within the ranks of the gang's complex organizational structure.
Gang Leader for a Day is an inside view into the morally ambiguous, highly intricate, often corrupt struggle to survive in an urban war zone. It is also the story of a complicated friendship between two young and ambitious men, a universe apart.
About the Author
Sudhir Venkatesh is professor of sociology at Columbia University. He has written extensively about American poverty. He is currently working on a project comparing the urban poor in France and the United states. His writings, stories, and documentaries have appeared in The American Prospect, This American Life, the Source, and on PBS and national Public Radio.
Stephen J. Dubner is an award-winning author, journalist, and radio and TV personality. He quit his first career--as an almost-rock-star--to become a writer. He has worked for The New York Times and published three non-Freakonomics books. He lives with his family in New York City.

Ubuntu Touch will be released in a little over a month, which means that the operating systems is getting pretty close to its stable version. We had a look at the interface and functions and we put together a comprehensive screenshot tour.
The general feel and design that has been presented back in January for Ubuntu Touch has been kept, but the operating system is no longer full of dummy apps. Most of applications included by default are now working.
This means that if you download and install today Ubuntu Touch, you will have a minimally working phone. You will be able to call and receive calls, and to send and receive SMS messages. The browser is also working, along with the image viewer and the gallery.
Other features include a minimal Contacts feature, a smoother launcher, a calendar, and camera. This latest app includes a lot of features and some of them are not even available on other operating systems.
There are still a few problems with some of the base features, such as the clock, which can't be set manually, and there isn't an alarm app available.
As expected, this is not a stable version and it will not provide a smooth ride. Canonical has implemented an OTA update functionality and the developers are pushing updates on a daily basis. When the 1.0 version is made available, on October 17 if everything goes well, Ubuntu Touch should be a lot better.
Ubuntu Touch is developed, so far, for the Nexus 4 and 7 devices from LG and Google, but it's expected to arrive on multiple other devices with the help of the XDA developers.
If just these features are available by the time of launch, including a way to import Gmail contacts and a simple email application, a lot of users will be ready to abandon their current operating system.
If you don't know already, Ubuntu Touch is an operating system Canonical developed for phones and tablets. It features a design without buttons and it relies solely on touch input, hence the name.
Check the gallery below to see how the interface has evolved and what are the features implemented so far.

Local suicide serves as reminder of a deadly danger facing teens
Reporter: Valerie Cavazos
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - A problem few people ever talk about claims a life in Tucson. That problem is teen suicide.
Today the self-inflicted death of a freshman at Palo Verde High left family and friends devastated. It happened off campus, but because so many parents and kids contacted 9 On Your Side asking us to check out rumors that were flying around about the incident... we called school officials. The school assures us this incident was *not* connected with bullying. And we're told grief counselors were on hand to help classmates cope.
Because of privacy concerns you rarely hear about teen suicides. But that silence has helped this problem quietly rise to be the third leading cause of death among teens.
It's important for you to know -- right off the bat -- there is no one cause to teen suicide. But many of them do have one thing in common: silence. No one wants to talk about the issue, but it's critical the silence is broken.
Search YouTube and you'll find many stories and PSA's about suicide and prevention, but getting people to actually talk about it is another matter. Mainly because of the stigma associated with suicide. It's connection with mental illness is the main hurdle to overcome.
Studies show over 90% of people who commit suicide have one or more psychiatric disorders -- ranging from depression to schizophrenia. "There typically is an untreated or undertreated mental health illness."
Another factor in silencing discussions about suicide: much of our society believes taking your own life is morally wrong. "That (Christian) belief has been shared from generation to generation and there are other religions that believe in that also so part of looking at the stigma is associated with that and coupling it with religion, people are less likely to talk about it," said Pate.
Suicide is also harrowing for family and friends who often carry the burden of guilt. "They don't want that stigma associated with them saying why didn't you do something about it -how come you didn't see it? So people are managing these things frequently alone."
The adage time heals all wounds is not necessarily true for those left behind, who may then take their own lives because of the loss. "That's a sense of loss -- a sense of grief .. these are things that can cause suicide."
It's certainly clear that breaking the silence of suicide is a critical first step. Preventing suicide among our youth can start with more conversations about understanding the world around them. Experts say the stress and trauma children experience and witness can increase the chances of suicide.
Those dramatic and tragic events and images from 9-11, wars in the Middle East, the January 8th shooting and Hurricane Katrina as well as events happening closer to home -- ranging from divorce to bullying. "These are events that children are taking in and we know that they not necessarily have the mechanism to manage and process all of those things," said Pate.
Experts say children internalize those images. Unlike adults, many children are less likely to talk about what disturbs them. "They are less like to do that or may not have people they feel comfortable going to and talking about how do i manage this and how do I cope with this bad stuff happening in our world," she said.
So helping children cope with the ups and downs of life is critical when trying to stem the rising tide of suicides. "How do we then help our children recognize that this is normal. disappointment is going to happen if you're a part of this world -- live and breathing. Disappointment is going to happen so how do we manage it -- how do we get over it -- and how do we teach them that this is okay."
These discussons with children often open floodgates in their minds and emotions -- rather than closing them down. Experts say parents should keep in mind that they don't have to have all the answers -- they just need to know where to go for help when it's needed.
There are training sessions for families available through the Community Partnership of Southern Arizona. Another agency to call is the Southern Arizona Mental Health Corporation.

Randy Couture claims the Fertitta brothers are 'using' Dana White to verbally attack others
There's a highlight reel of a guy named Lorenzo Fertitta on YouTube. The dude is a running back for Bishop Gorman Gaels and judging by the way he dusts his opponents, he's pretty damn nasty on the turf. Lorenzo plays on the junior varsity squad of his high school, but unfortunately he's not a self-made billionaire. See, there's this other guy named Lorenzo Fertitta that has a lot of money and abnormally meaty arms. He's also the CEO of ZUFFA and he doesn't care that you missed last night's episode of True Blood. He missed it too, so did I. Sometimes these things happen in MMA. While you're thumbing through your DVR, check out this Sports Illustrated interview in which Randy Couture claims the Fertittas are 'using' Dana White.
Of course it was hurtful. That's how Dana operates. That's the sword that he wields. That's how the Fertittas use him. They know how he's going to react. They know he's going to say the things he's going to say. He goes out of his way to be hurtful, to be insulting, to drop F-bombs and try to push buttons. That's how he operates. He's very predictable in that regard. At the press conference for Fight Master I thanked him for creating such a media storm for the brand new show. And since then we haven't heard a word from him. [...]
But this is how Dana operates. I don't operate that way. It's not personal for me. It's about making the best business decisions I can for my brand and for the sport of mixed martial arts.
If you listen real close, you can hear Dana White's esophagus ticking down until it will eventually explode at the next UFC press conference when someone asks him to follow up on this statement Randy Couture made about him.

Dear Friend,
In Ward 350 of Iran's notorious Evin Prison, American pastor Saeed Abedini is incarcerated with 30–40 other prisoners, twice the legal limit for this section of the prison.
The authorities arrested Saeed while he was working in Iran, with permission from the government, to help build an orphanage for children. According to the Iranian state, his crime is endangering national security—really just trumped up charges. What was the real danger? The fact that he is an evangelical Christian and that is a threat to Islam.
September 26, just a few weeks from now, will mark Saeed's one-year anniversary in Evin Prison. In conditions unimaginable for most of us, he has been relentlessly interrogated, psychologically harassed, and physically beaten—even resulting in internal bleeding and injuries. Twice, he has faced solitary confinement.
Saeed is Iranian-born but is an American citizen. He, his wife Naghmeh, and their two children live here in the United States. Thanks to Naghmeh's relentless efforts, and the prayers of a number of believers, Saeed's plight is gaining the attention of the world. His internal injuries have finally been treated, but the outcome for him is still uncertain.
I don't know if believers in our own country will ever experience this degree of persecution, "but I do know that our religious freedoms are being seriously eroded. The Bible tells us that Christians should expect persecution by the world. "All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Timothy 3:12, ESV).
Our children can't pray aloud in public schools. Students who speak openly about Jesus Christ at public assemblies have their microphones shut off. Our military is hostile to soldiers who share and practice their faith, and even atheists now aim to become "chaplains" in America's armed forces.
In a nation that was founded by believers seeking the freedom to practice their religion, Christians are now routinely targeted by our courts and government for reasons related to their faith in Jesus Christ. Rarely is a Christian portrayed in a positive light by the media.
All of this has resulted in a nation that is quickly hurtling toward a moral Armageddon. Homosexual activists and abortionists have their so-called rights protected and upheld, while Christians are becoming the victims of our country's growing intolerance and misguided zeal for pluralism. The Name of Jesus Christ—which Christians love—is increasingly hated by our culture.
This is why I am so excited about the opportunity all of us have this fall to join with my father in a nationwide evangelistic effort—My Hope America with Billy Graham. This is something everyone can be a part of. It will be the largest evangelistic outreach of his lifetime. I encourage you to get involved now and make sure your church is involved. It starts with prayer. Individuals and churches sincerely and urgently praying—for the lost around you, for our nation, for Pastor Saeed, and for other persecuted Christians around the world—will make a difference.
We're not at this stage yet, but we must realize that our nation is not as far as we may think from some of what is happening in Iran today. The Scriptures say, however, that "if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face … , then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14). Revival begins in the heart of God's people, confessing their own sins and seeking the Lord.
That happened on a number of occasions in the Old Testament when a spiritually decadent Israel repented of their sins and once again sought God's favor and blessing. God was gracious to heal and forgive, and I do believe He can do the same for this country now.
Christians who live boldly for Christ, even in the face of opposition—are a strong witness to a morally bankrupt society. The My Hope America with Billy Graham outreach is one opportunity not only to take a stand, but to take action.
So, remember to pray for Pastor Saeed and his family and for thousands of others who are also persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. And take steps today to join with us in this great evangelistic outreach to our own nation that will reach its high point in November. I've enclosed an insert on how to get started.
More than 18,000 churches across America are already taking part along with tens of thousands of individual Christians like you, and more are added every day. It's a huge task requiring enormous resources—we need your prayers and gifts, and especially your personal participation.
May God Bless You,
Franklin Graham, President
P.S. In September, I will be holding a Crusade in Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland. This small island nation has a modern economy, high levels of education, and complete freedom of religion, but fewer than 1 in 25 Icelanders understand the Gospel. My son Will has been invited to hold a Crusade the same week in Fukushima, Japan, a city that lives with anxiety and continuing danger from a nuclear reactor accident two years ago caused by an earthquake and tsunami. We ask for your prayers.

HAMBURG, N.Y. - Two men are in critical condition after they were hit by a vehicle that was rear-ended by an alleged drunk driver.
It happened around 11 p.m. on Route 5 near Milestrip Road in Hamburg.
Hamburg Police set up a road block following multiple accidents on the Milestrip Road overpass that were blamed on icy road conditions.
Police say a suspected drunk driver drove around a marked police vehicle with flashing lights, nearly striking the officer standing beside it.
The driver then rear-ended a vehicle that was involved in one of the previous accidents, and that car hit two men standing in front of it.
The 32-year-old and 61-year-old victims were taken to ECMC. Their names haven't been released.
The driver who hit them, Thomas Gilray,Jr., refused a breath test. He is charged with driving while intoxicated, vehicular assault, reckless endangerment, and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
2 On Your Side has confirmed that Gilray, Jr. is a civilian dispatcher with the Erie County Sheriff's Department since 2010. As a result of this incident he has been suspended without pay until further notice.

If you're facing a fashion conundrum and desperately seeking sage style advice, The Lion King probably does not top your list of go-to sources--and understandably so! However, using a little imagination, the classic Disney movie actually offers some great encouragement for your sartorial woes. In the film, a pair of wise animals, Timon and Pumbaa, boldly proclaim that two words will solve all problems: hakuna matata. Loosely translated, the Swahili phrase means "no worries", which is the perfect, simplistic philosophy to remember when getting dressed in the morning. Choosing what to wear should be an enjoyable experience--not a source of stress or anxiety. With that in mind, today's installment of Style Stalker features six fearlessly stylish women who clearly take delight in compiling to-die-for outfits every day. Whether they're deftly mixing textures and patterns, adding a pair of pink socks to a work-appropriate ensemble, or bravely donning an asymmetrical skirt, these ladies definitely don't have any personal-style quandaries. They throw caution to the wind and experiment with fashion, resulting in a slew of looks we're absolutely mad about. Read on for all the details of today's killer ensembles and our suggestions for emulating their stellar styling.
Tip #1: Transition spring staples with a lightweight knit sweater.
While it might seem strange to buy a sweater when temperatures are steadily rising, a lightweight knit is actually a supremely useful transitional topper, as Sarah, 22, from Norwich, England, aptly shows us with her darling ensemble. To guard against cool nighttime breezes, take a page from her style playbook: start with a pair of tights, add a dainty skirt, and finish the look by layering on a delicate knit, resulting in a chic, go-anywhere outfit! We also appreciate how she opted for separates in muted, pastel colors, which feels so right for spring. Convinced that you need a lightweight sweater pronto? We think Maje's White Knit Top ($175) and ASOS' Twist & Tango Open Weave Crop Knit Sweater ($140) are both worthy options to have on hand this season.
Tip # 2: Elevate your look with an asymmetrical skirt this season.
While you're probably familiar with the slew of skirt options available right now--maxis, midis, minis, oh my!--one style that might be missing from your closet is the asymmetrical alternative. While you might be hesitant to try this daring silhouette, it isn't as hard to pull off as you might think; just consider Autilia, 21, from Australia, as your guide. We particularly like how she made her golden-yellow satiny skirt--which features an exquisite, tiered hemline--appropriate for daytime by pairing it with a simple, printed tee and taupe lace-up booties. We think it's the perfect way to update your spring wardrobe, so be sure to check out Carin Wester's Skirt in Gabardine with Asymmetrical Hem ($215), Cheap Monday's Asymmetric Skirt ($74) or Pray for Mother Nature's Encinitas Ruffled Skirt ($193) today!
Tip # 3: Ground colorful statement pieces with simple, black basics.
When it comes to spring wardrobe essentials, bright, colorful separates are key! That said, it's always a good idea to temper your not-so-quiet pieces by pairing them with black basics. For guidance on adding just the right amount of noir to your colorful ensemble, look no further than the outfit Nicole, 22, from Australia, put together. We love how her simple bustier and heels allow her hot-pink pants and vibrant sweater to take center stage. To emulate her striking look, it's important to keep your vividly-hued pieces--like BDG's Twill Ankle Cigarette Pants ($50), Milly's Ric Rac Jacquard Cardigan ($277), or Forever 21's Bright Stripe Cardigan ($20)--in focus by teaming them with a few black staples, such as Sparkle & Fade's Faux Snake Bustier ($44) or Steve Madden's Bevv Platforms ($90).
Tip # 4: Mix textures and patterns for a truly personal look.
When we spotted the outfit Hallie, from Los Angeles, put together, it was truly love at first sight. What drew us to this look was her unique, fearless mix of textures and patterns; not many of us would think to layer a white lace top over a plaid collared shirt, but somehow this pairing works! If you're dying to recreate her savvy styling, consider snagging either Topshop's Ginger Western Style Check Shirt ($56) or Free People's Plaid Dobby Blouse ($108) and then simply add either Sam & Lavi's Justine Crochet Tank Top ($68) or Juicy Couture's Tie Front Crochet Vest ($158) for a one-of-a-kind outfit that's sure to turn heads!
Tip #5: Balance bold, printed pants with a basic white t-shirt.
Instead of reaching for your favorite pair of jeans or tried-and-true cutoffs, why not go for a more head-turning option this season? Take a cue from Ebba, 15, from Sweden, and try a pair of bold, printed pants, which will instantly update your look. We love how she styled them with a simple white tee to offset the loudness of the print, resulting in the perfect, easygoing outfit for weekend adventures. If you're craving pants in a similar eye-catching motif, you're in luck because we've tracked down several worthy options: Topshop's Pink Animal Printed Jersey Trousers ($60), Ted Baker's Abstract Pants with Snake Print ($178), and MinkPink's Animal Print Pants ($99). To further achieve this flawless ensemble, simply pick up a plain white tee, like American Apparel's The Lawn Tee ($28), and you'll have a Ebba-inspired outfit in no time!
Tip #6: Punctuate your ensemble with a pair of vibrant socks.
Just because you're headed to the office doesn't mean you can't have some fun with your outfit! There are many ways to spice up your work attire, but we were instantly drawn to the look Mayo, 28, from Hong Kong created. We particularly adore how she how she took sophisticated basics--including a flowy, striped skirt, a chic boyfriend blazer, and a bright skinny belt--and livened them up by adding a pair of hot-pink socks! This unexpected touch adds just the right amount of playful spirit to her ensemble. If you're looking to inject a similarly youthful energy into your next outfit, reach for the brightest socks you can find; we think American Apparel's Unisex Solid Calf-High Sock ($8), Topshop's Pink Fluorescent Stripe Ankle Socks ($8), or Urban Outfitter's Ruffle Top Floral Ankle Sock ($8) will do the trick (or swipe up all of them--no need to pick just one!).--Erin Fitzpatrick

With gas prices jumping like a Jack Russell terrier on steroids and the local economy as shaky as one of the presidential candidate's platform, many are are asking the eternal holiday question.
To spend, or not to spend?
And how much to spend?
At Christmas.
There it is, the word that strikes fear into the heart of many a shopper with a propensity for waiting until the 24th of December before finishing the last of their holiday needs.
Or maybe your one of the other kind, the dedicated few who are waiting on the steps of KMart, J.C. Penney's, Circuit City or one of the many downtown shops just as they open at 6 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving.
According to the Associated Press, an increased number of shoppers are trading down to stores with lower prices this holiday season. Lending credence to the saying that it is the thought that goes into the gift that matters, not the gift itself.
When asked about what they most wanted for Christmas most Carbon kids, teens and adults were quick to answer and it seemed that the ladies answered with the most detail and excitement, however the boys and young men were just as excited for the upcoming gift fest (they just hid it better). The Sun Advocate found that most teens were looking for:
Learning products for the younger ones, such as Leapfrog or intuitive IQ games for portable game systems.
Roxy Laptop cases for the young ones with a laptop.
The IPod or Zune along with a smorgasbord of electronic components and accessories.
All gaming stations including the Wii, Playstation 3 and XBox 360 along with their thousands of titles for gaming well into the new year including the recent release of Halo 3 and all kinds of new guitar hero gear.
Reversible hoodies, made by Fox, Hurley, Volcom and many other popular brands.
Very dark blue jeans with skinny fit, made by brands including Hollister, American Eagle, Abercrombie, Bullhead and Citizen.
Fossil and Ecko watches.
Juicy Couture perfume and Polo Black for the men.
Digital cameras are more affordable than ever and continue to increase in capability.
Bags and purses from any number of carriers including Guess, Harajuku Lovers, and Betsey Johnson.
Popular and inexpensive websites for shopping included:
Foxracing.com which carries free shipping for any purchase over $110
Backcountryoutlet.com which ships from West Valley is here in a jiffy and gives orders free shipping on anything over $50. Most items are between 50 to 75 percent off for both guys and gals.
Bodyshop.com is ever popular with the ladies and makes a great gift for any girlfriend in the picture.
Amazon.com, always a great choice.
Disney.com for the kids.
Overstock.com for the saver in all of us.
And now for your community editors thoughts on Christmas.
That is a small run-down of what some Carbon County youth and non-youth reported wanting for Christmas. The things that were in the middle at any rate. The extravagant requests ranged from a new motorcycle to one carat diamond studs. And on the lowest end of the scale some kids just wanted to be at home with their family on the Christmas holiday.
So there is the difference, the perfect gift is something that is indeed different to everyone on this earth. Some require an expensive, extravagant purchase and could care less about where it came from or who got it for them.
Some long for the smallest treasure, as long as someone took the time to make sure it got to them on Christmas morning.
So whether you are playing Santa this Christmas or waiting for him, remember it is always better to give than receive.
Well I guess that is unless you are receiving exactly what you want.....
Or maybe, just maybe if the season remains special because it is filled by time spent with family that isn't seen any other time of the year and life is what is celebrated, then it could be that the Christmas really isn't about giving at all.

Carbon lost several members of its 2009 starting line-up to graduation, but head coach Patrick Clifford sees some good talent in the new roster, but it will take some time for the team to gel as a cohesive squad - but that's what pre-season games are about.
After road losses to South Summit and Uintah, the Dinos played their home opener Friday, March 12 against Richfield. They also took on Canyonview on Saturday, March 13 before the snow started flying. They lost both games, 2-1.
Against Richfield, it was the Dinos that drew first blood with a quick score in the first five minutes. Brandon Gomez was the player that sent a follow-up shot across for the tally.
That lasted until the final minutes of the first half when Richfield sent a shot past Carbon goalie Adam Bedont to tie things up. The Wildcats scored once more in the second half to take the win.
"We outshot them, 28-7, but they managed to get two in to our one," said Clifford after the game. "It was a little frustrating to know we outplayed them and still fell a little short of the win."
On Saturday, Carbon again scored first as Shin Seongdae did the honors for the Dinos. As with the Friday battle, Canyonview scored in the late part of the half to tie it up. Shots on goal were pretty even for both teams.
As the game rolled into the second half, the Falcons stepped it up and dominated play for the first 10 minutes. Then Canyonview committed a hard foul on a Carbon player, who was down for almost five minutes.
That incident lit a fire under the Dinos and they took control. Unfortunately, they could not get the ball to pass the line and failed to score.
The Falcons put one more in the net to give the Dinos their second 2-1 loss in two days.
"Canyonview is a very good team and we played right with them," Clifford said. "We just need to find a way to score and then we will really put up some wins. I hope we can do that soon because we start region play."
The Dinos will be on the road for regional match-ups with Union on Wednesday, March 17 and ALA on Friday, March 19.

A Cambridge Alumni Database
This database is planned to contain biographical details
of everyone who has been identified as being academically associated
with the University of Cambridge,
covering the period from 1200 onwards.
In addition to the standard printed sources of information by Venn and Emden, which cover men only, we have added information from Newnham and Girton Colleges so that women are also included. All the men's biographies (up to matriculation in 1900) as listed in Venn and Emden are included. Emden's information largely supersedes the information in Venn for everyone at Cambridge before 1500. Women's data has been added from the registers of Newnham and Girton colleges; full details are shown only for women no longer living (either we know their death dates, or a latest possible death date can be inferred from their birth dates). From time to time blocks of data will be added from various college records. Again, only data for non-living people will be included.
The term 'Alumni' is used because the great majority of people included are men. Women were not represented in the University until the 1860s, and although they are of course included in this database the awkward 'Alumni/Alumnae' has been avoided.
who described what are now known as 'Venn Diagrams'.
He devoted much of his time
to the publication of Cambridge University and College records. He and (later) his
son, John Archibald Venn (18831958),
published the four volumes of Alumni Cantabrigienses ... from the
Earliest Times to 1751, which appeared between 1922 and 1927.
John Archibald Venn then continued his father's work, publishing the six volumes
of Alumni Cantabrigienses ... from 1752 to 1900 between 1940 and 1954.
In the 1960s, A. B. Emden worked extensively on material from the earliest times until 1500,
and published A Biographical Register of the University of Cambridge to 1500 in 1963.
These ten volumes of Venn, and the volume by Emden, plus information from Newnham and Girton Colleges (the first women's Colleges at Cambridge) form the basis of the biographies presented in this database.
For a brief description of the project, please read: J. L. Dawson, ACAD A Cambridge Alumni Database which has been published in: Computers in Genealogy, Vol. 7 No. 8 (December 2001), pp. 363375.
At present, the whole system is experimental. Data may alter or disappear without notice. We can accept no responsibility for your use of the system or the data contained here.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — We all know that on Wall Street money is power.
In the tech world, the principle is the same, but the equation is different: Knowledge is power.
And Aaron Swartz, the programmer, writer and activist who died in an apparent suicide Friday, tried to upset the balance of power — by messing with the people who control the knowledge. Read more on the death of Aaron Swartz.
Good for him. But let's be honest. As admirable as his talent and ambitions were, as persecuted as he was, there are two key things to remember:
First, Swartz sometimes went too far and encouraged taking the work of others.
Second, his persecutors are not responsible for his death.
Suggesting otherwise sullies his legacy and creates a phony martyrdom. He doesn't deserve that.
Swartz, you may know, is credited with developing RSS, the standard Web feed for news and other updated content. RSS and Reddit, which Swartz helped create, are so pervasive most everyone on the Internet uses or benefits from them, whether they know it or not. Swartz created RSS when he was 14.
Wikipedia owes much to Swartz, who helped strengthen, clarify and enforce its standards. See Swartz's Wikipedia page.
He was also known for promoting free distribution and access to information on the Internet, sometimes called "free culture" — he also clashed with authorities over this. Last year, he was accused of illegally downloading 4 million academic articles.
For Swartz, this wasn't stealing. To him, knowledge truly was power. He believed access to information on the Internet was a basic right — or should be — for everyone. To him, the idea was that unfettered access to knowledge would help everyone to realize their full potential.
An inside look at Twitter's new trading platform
DCM Capital will become the first hedge fund to trade using Twitter data and to launch an online trading platform.
Put another way, Swartz advocated a redistribution of intellectual wealth.
His view was pure and in many ways true. However, it has a major flaw. Free-culture advocates ignore, or don't care, that the producers of information — those who toil to produce research, report on issues, solve problems — deserve rewards for their work.
