Keep York Beautiful has postponed the cleanup of an illegal dumpsite in Jackson Township.
The event was originally scheduled for Saturday at the Hanover Trolley Trail but is being postponed until the fall, according to a news release.
Because of the heavy rain this week, current site conditions might not be safe for volunteers, and heavy equipment could cause damage to the area, the release states.
Anyone interested in participating in the fall event should contact Tom Smith at 717-840-2375 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Original report:
On Saturday, volunteers will clean up the area along the Hanover Trolley Trail with the hopes of keeping York County beautiful.
As part of the Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania, they will hit the area — located in Jackson Township near Spring Grove — from 9 a.m. to noon for the second year in the row. The plan is to keep the trail clean once and for all, said Tom Smith, executive director of Keep York Beautiful.
"Our goal will be to get the area completely cleaned up this time," he said.
Cleaning up: Last year, more than 2 tons of trash and 700 pounds of scrap metal was removed from the illegal dumpsite, which is near Hershey Road, located off Route 116 and Sprenkle Road. Volunteers removed 109 tires, carpeting, flooring, vinyl siding, toys, bagged trash, automotive parts and other household waste.
The township manager, an equipment operator and 17 volunteers helped with trash removal and filled one whole Dumpster in three hours.
All the debris at the site is from dumping that occurred before the trail's creation. Access has since been restricted so litter bugs are blocked out and improvements won't be in vain, Smith said.
"We can get in there and clean up, and it's going to stay clean," he said.
Jackson Township and several other county organizations are providing cleanup funding and resources.
"Everybody's involved in helping to make this successful," Smith said.
Impact: Trash is more than just an eyesore. Metals can leach into the ground and pollute the groundwater, affecting drinking water and fishing, he said. Last year, volunteers found car batteries, he said.
"You're talking about all kinds of chemical pollution here," Smith said.
And as the county's West Nile Virus Program administrator, he stressed the need for prevention when it comes to mosquitos. They breed in standing water and, depending on the species, can fly miles away.
"They can really inflict a lot of problems throughout Spring Grove Borough," Smith said.
And it's much better to clean up the problem than to spend tax dollars to curb the mosquito population, he said.
Keep York Beautiful's next goal will be to do more beautification projects, such as planting trees around the county, Smith said.
"This is going to be a continued effort to improve the area, make it more inviting," he said.

Standing on the Homewood Metra station's platform Tuesday afternoon, Metra Executive Director Don Orseno said the commuter rail service is "going out of the Stone Age and into the 21st century."
Orseno and other Metra officials visited the station, Ridge Road and Harwood Avenue, along with village officials to survey a $185,000 repair project that has been completed.
But Orseno's remark didn't refer to the repair work at the 92-year-old station, which included painting, staircase repair, ceiling tile replacement, upgraded interior lighting and resealed windows.
He was talking about the new Ventra system application that allows Metra riders to purchase...

2,557 apartments for rent near Midlothian, TX
Apartments in Midlothian, TX
The bustling cities of Dallas and Fort Worth share a common distance to the suburban community of Midlothian, Texas. Located 26 miles southwest of Dallas and 27 miles southeast of Fort Worth, Midlothian offers easy access to both downtown metro areas.
Although Midlothian contains cattle-raising and cotton-farming farmlands, this Ellis County city should not be mistaken as country living. With an expanding school district and several major employers, this growing city of over 8,000 residents is a major suburban community.
Midlothian is home to three of the largest cement factories in the US, including Texas Industries (TXI). Gerdau Ameristeel is a steel factory located near TXI. Railport is a large industrial park with several distribution facilities.
There are several festivals in Midlothian, including a Spring Fling Arts & Crafts Festival, a Fall Festival, and the Summer Balloon Classic, a competition with 40 hot-air balloons.
Midlothian's parks are situated on 117 acres of land throughout the city. Kimmel Park features a gazebo, playground, and picnic areas. Heritage Park is situated around Larkin Newton Log Cabin, built in 1848.
The official motto of Midlothian is "DFW's Southern Star." Just far enough from the busy lifestyle of the major cities, Midlothian continues to grow.

Active weather continued across the nation's midsection on Tuesday as a frontal boundary cutting across Central U.S. reached from the Upper Great Lakes southwestward through the Southern Plains.
A cold airmass behind this disturbance maintained unseasonably cold temperatures from parts of the Upper Midwest into the Central Plains and allowed moderate to heavy snow showers and areas of mixed wintry precipitation to develop from parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin through portions of Kansas and into eastern Colorado.
Areas of the Upper Midwest were expected to pick up 6 to 9 inches of wet snow through Tuesday, while lighter snow accumulations of up to 2 inches with ice accumulations of up to a tenth of an inch become possible in the Central Plains. Meanwhile, areas near and ahead of the frontal disturbance from the Great Lakes into Lower Mississippi Valley and the Southern Plains experienced light to moderate rain showers and chances of thunderstorms.
Meanwhile to the east of this activity, showers and thunderstorms tapered off across the Florida Peninsula as the cold front affecting the area shifted northeastward and its associated low pressure lifted north-northeastward off the Mid-Atlantic coast. Rainy and windy weather conditions were possible along the parts of the Mid-Atlantic and New England coasts due to the offshore low.
HIGHEST TEMPERATURE (DEGREES F).........................91 Thermal, Calif.
HIGHEST HEAT INDEX (DEGREES F)..........................91 McAllen, Texas
LOWEST TEMPERATURE (DEGREES F)..........................-9 Yellowstone, Wyo.
LOWEST WIND CHILL (DEGREES F)...........................-15 Yellowstone, Wyo.
HIGHEST WIND GUST (MPH).................................85 Tin City, Alaska
HIGHEST PRECIPITATION (INCHES)..........................0.90 McConnell AFB, Kan.
ON THIS DATE....... Snow fell in the high elevations of Southern California as a strong storm moved across the region on this date in 1988. The storm also produced thunderstorms, and nine girls were injured as lightning hit the tree they had huddled under for shelter.

Jamaican coral reefs, part 2
In the post below I highlighted one experiment that Amber is doing to investigate the impact of coastal development on coral reefs. A second experiment involves a sponge survey, where she compares species composition (i.e. how many species, which types), sponge abundance and size patterns between an impacted location and two control or non-impacted locations. Sponges are filter feeders, meaning that they pump in and filter seawater (and food), which makes them very good animals to test for water quality on coral reefs.

Some would no doubt find the above question insensitive, although the latter three words are fairly common usage to describe the end of a feud or simple argument.
And in the context of the lingering debate over whether an Indian name or mascot for a sports team disrespects or honors the indigenous people of our country, that, of course, depends on your point of view.
The Atlanta Braves team name is one thing, but the ridiculous sight of thousands of fans doing the "Tomahawk Chop" is just plain silly and ridiculous to many of us and downright offensive to probably the entire Indian nation. Members of same feel free to e-mail me with your take. Cleveland Indians? How about that toothy, grinning cartoon logo?
Indian activists are downright outraged by this type of depiction.
"There's a battle outside, and it's ragin."' I think Bob Dylan said that.
"Everybody just calm down." I said that.
I am completely convinced that there was not an inkling of "racism" involved when any decisions were made to give a sports team a nickname on the order of Chiefs, Indians, Warriors or Braves, although Redskins might be pushing it.
However, certain Native American groups play the "racism" card for any perceived slight.
Theirs is not an ethnic group alone in that tactic.
My son went to a pricey prep high school. Its team nickname is the Red Raiders.
"Red Raiders" racist? Not hardly, and there has been no opposition regarding the nickname that has come to my attention.
In Pennsylvania, according to a website vehemently opposed to Indian nicknames and mascots, there are 150 schools trotting out to the playing fields under the banner of Chiefs, Warriors, Raiders, Red Raiders, Braves and Indians.
My alma mater, then East Stroudsburg State College in the '60s, had a mascot that would no doubt be offensive today. I still have its decal on an old pottery jug, the kind you see in movies featuring mountain folk swilling moonshine whisky from or somebody tooting in a jug band.
The cartoon character is pale, has two scraggy feathers sticking out of his headband, is naked from the waist up with a pot belly and is giving a half-hearted war whoop with one hand, the other holding a tomahawk at his side.
This is not a depiction of a proud Native American warrior. That mascot is gone, replaced in 2008 by "Burgy," (StroudsBURG) and all that. It is inoffensive, unless you're a bear, which it resembles, in a gladiator-type outfit. They should have named it "Mamby Pamby."
To the school's credit, in my opinion, the teams retained the nickname "Warriors."
A recent news item says that Oregon high schools will have to deep six their Indian mascots within five years, and since the 1970s more than 600 high school and college teams across the USA have dropped their Indian nicknames.
Are there acceptable levels of "racism"? Is painting your face red for a Kansas City Chiefs game racist? How about blackface at a Cheney University game?
Other ethnic groups? Does anybody of Irish heritage take umbrage at "Fighting Irish" as a stereotype of a son of the Auld Sod spending his Saturday nights in a pub brawl?What about the "Ragin' Cajuns" of the University of Louisiana?
In a somewhat related gang come the Canucks, as in the Vancouver Canucks hockey team.
Canucks, of which I am one, as my grandfather was born in Quebec and our lineage goes back to the 1600s in Normandy, France, is considered a perfectly lump-sum handle for those hailing from French Canada. Others, however, see it as a racial epithet.
Call me a Canuck anytime.
Let's jump on the potentially offensive nicknames that depict a people or segment of same. Trojans, Spartans, Aztecs, Vikings and the West Virginia Mountaineers come to mind.
The latter mascot in full buckskin regalia has been on the sidelines of games since the mid-1930s and carrying a muzzleloading rifle to boot. It's a wonder the antigun zealots haven't gotten their tails in an uproar over that sight.
And no protests (don't they have one every waking moment of their lives?) from the PETA fruitcakes over all those Bobcats, 'Gators, Bulldogs, Nittany Lions, Ducks, Tigers and Bears out there.
I was watching the recent Notre Dame-Stanford game and had a hard time accepting "Cardinal" as a nickname for the respected school. It is named after the color, not the bird as is the baseball team in St. Louis. But Stanford used to be called the "Indians" way back when. "Cardinal?" Yech.
If a segment of our American population is presented in a disparaging or denigrating light, such as the former hapless and droopy East Stroudsburg "Warrior," there may be a case for opposition from an anti-defamation league.
I don't think will see the "Galloping Goombahs" anytime soon, but that feisty Leprechaun in South Bend will keep his fists at the ready for the foreseeable far, far future.
But all is not "tis grand" with that most recognizable symbol. A high school in Texas had to get rid of its "Fighting Irish" nickname and logo.
Did the PC police raid the joint?
Nope, the legal suits at Notre Dame charged the high school with a violation of copyright law.
Watch out, Chambersburg High "Trojans." USC might blitz with the same play.

A Factory Fire and Frances Perkins
Today marks 100 years since the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire—a blaze that lasted 18 minutes and left 146 workers dead.
Among the many in New York City who witnessed the tragedy was Frances Perkins, who would later become FDR's Secretary of Labor, making her the first woman to serve in a Presidential cabinet.
As Secretary of Labor, Perkins was instrumental in creating and implementing the Social Security Act—but she was also intensely interested in the safety and rights of workers. "I came to Washington to work for God, FDR, and the millions of forgotten, plain common workingmen," she said.
Perkins had a degree from Mount Holyoke College, where her coursework included touring factories. She later earned a master's degree in in social economics from Columbia University. She had been working as factory inspector in New York at the time of the fire.
The fire started in a wastebasket on the eighth floor, and the flames jumped up onto the paper patterns that were hanging from the ceiling.
In an oral history, blouse operator Mary Domsky-Adams recalled that "My own machine was located near the locked front doors, and I often looked with fear at the darkness that loomed through the half-glassed door, which made me feel as if some secret force were peering out from there. And it was before this door that the greatest number of victims were caught; they had surged to the door, hoping to escape, but couldnt break through, because the door always was securely locked."
Locked doors kept the workers from escaping; there was not enough water to put out the flames, and firemen's ladders were too short to reach the upper stories. Many of the young women and men working there leapt out the windows and fell to their deaths onto the sidewalk outside. Others were crushed in the elevator shaft or when the fire escape collapsed.
After the fire, Perkins was the secretary for the Committee on Safety. This committee led the way to 36 new labor laws, which included restrictions on child labor and working hours, and also providing compensations to workers injured on the job.
Her commitment to the safety of workers continued when she became Secretary of Labor. According to this website, "child labor was abolished, minimum wage and maximum-hour laws were enacted, and, through the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, workers were guaranteed the right to organize and bargain collectively."
When she died in 1965, Perkins' legacy was a long lifetime of labor reform inspired by the 146 workers whose lives were cut short on a terrible afternoon in 1911.

I grew up with this story, and that of the Rose Hill Mine Fire in Illinois ,as examples of one man believing that his wealth was more important than his worker's lives.

December 1, 2015
A man recently sentenced to life in prison has been charged with capital murder in the death of a 64-year-old Waco woman.
Gloria Campos Viera died from smoke inhalation after being beaten by a burglar who set fire to her home a year ago.
Waco police filed the charge against 35-year-old Tony Wayne Swinnie on Monday. The one-year anniversary of Viera's death was yesterday.
Eight weeks ago, the five-time convicted felon was sentenced to life in prison for assaulting a 62-year-old woman in front of her two grandchildren at a local liquor store last August.
If Swinnie is indicted on the capital murder charge, he would be eligible for the death penalty or a second life sentence.

text: Chelsea Clinton Wedding Details a Big Mystery Former first daughter will wed in New York area By Nick McMaster, Newser Staff Posted Jun 18, 2010 5:55 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (42) (Newser) – Both the location of Chelsea Clinton's July 31 wedding and the guest list are under intense scrutiny and impenetrable secrecy, New York reports. The reception is limited to 400 guests, a tiny portion of the Clinton network, so Chelsea has instituted a no-strangers policy—she must actually know every invitee. No word on whether her intended, investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, has a similar rule. The location is being kept under wraps—"The wedding planner will contact each guest directly a week in advance and let them know where it is," a source says. The Hamptons reportedly are out, because of traffic concerns. More likely is a location in upstate New York, such as Westchester or Dutchess County. Also not on the guest list are Bill Clinton's love handles: Chelsea has instructed her dad to slim down for the reception.

You can certainly create an auditing aspect in Spring. Using Roo? There's nothing in Roo (yet) that adds such a thing automatically. So, you can build you app in Roo, but then to get the auditing aspect, you'll have to add it yourself.

From just £27.99 a year with vehicle based Roadside Rescue.
Keep a pair of snow socks in your boot this winter so you won't get stuck in the snow on those essential journeys. Ideal for getting to or from work.
If you order a set of snow socks from the RAC Shop and find that they don't fit your tyres, make a note of your tyre size and give us a call. We will pay the return delivery postage costs and send you new Snow Socks with no delivery charges. 1 We match snow socks based on the standard factory fit wheels and tyres for your car. If you've fitted different wheels and tyres you can manually choose the right size here
Snow socks for cars are an affordable and effective way of improving your driving control on local roads in snowy or icy weather conditions.
In essence, snow socks are textile covers that are worn over your driving tyres to give extra grip in ice and snow on un-gritted roads. While not as effective as snow chains in severe winter driving conditions, snow socks do provide more grip than your regular summer tyres and are an inexpensive alternative to winter tyres for short driving distances on smaller roads that have not been gritted.
Simply slip the 'socks' over your two front tyres and wheels quickly and easily when you require a little extra driving control. As you can fit them yourself very easily, you can avoid the additional expense of tyre fitting and removal that you would face if switching between summer and winter tyres. In order to wrap them fully over the whole tyre, you may need to move the car slightly back and forth to get underneath the wheel, but the entire fitting process should only take a matter of minutes. Therefore, snow socks are a great solution for enabling you to make those essential journeys even if you are caught out in a sudden snowfall, especially as they can be easily stored in your car boot so that you can always be prepared should the weather turn icy.
Much easier to fit and remove than snow chains, snow socks work by collecting dry snow and ice on the surface of the socks, which is coated with fibres that have been arranged at right angles to the direction of travel in order to provide traction and maximise the friction contact with the ground.
Snow socks are also designed to wick away any water from melting snow and ice that is found between the surface of the road and the tyre to help prevent slipping and skidding.
Snow socks can be used time and time again and take up minimal space in your car boot. However, they will not last very long if they are used on gritted roads as the tarmac will cause them to fall apart so they must be removed before you start driving on a tarmac surface. This is also important to remain compliant with the minimum tread depth requirements.
Snow socks are sold in pairs and are only needed on the driving wheels, however, take care that you don't lose control of the back of car.

Call me a vacuum fanatic but these little cow and pig suckers (pardon the pun-aliciousness) are so cute I couldn't help it. And best of all–they're for the kids! How else can you get little ones to actually clean? As the site says, these hand held vacuums literally inhale all crumbs off the table and are easily emptied by removing their heads. Includes 2 "AA" batteries. For a paltry $19, I say child labor laws be damned!

Baldwin family's activities range from athletics to dog shows
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Johnston family is competitive.
From the athletic fields to the dog show rings, this Baldwin clan is everywhere.
"It doesn't make time for a lot of dinners together because they're running around to different activities," mother Tammy said.
From seniors in high school to fourth grade, siblings Mandi, Tori, David and Heidi are involved in numerous activities, including showing the family's four Beagle dogs in shows across the country.
"We like the kids to be a little bit more well rounded," father Mike said. "We enjoy sports and as important as sports are to our family, we like the kids to see that there's other things out there as well."
Both former basketball players, Mike and Tammy tried to get their children involved in athletics early, starting with twins Mandi and Tori.
Now senior guards in the Baldwin girls' basketball program, Mandi and Tori still are together on the hardwood.
"As we got older, growing into our own people is the same way we became our own players, but we work well with each other," Tori said.
The twins helped lead Baldwin to 12-9 record this season, including a berth in the WPIAL Class AAAA playoffs. Mandi earned all-section honors.
As Mandi has decided to focus solely on basketball, Tori is a three-sport standout at Baldwin in girls' basketball, volleyball and track and field. She served as captain of the Lady Highlanders' volleyball team this past season.
"My little sister is the water girl for the high school (girls' basketball team)," Mandi said of her younger sister, Heidi. "It's nice having your little sister there being involved."
As a fourth-grader at St. Gabriel's Elementary School, Heidi is becoming quite the athlete herself.
Heidi competed in the 2013 USA Track and Field National Junior Olympic cross country championships Dec. 14 in San Antonio, Texas, finishing the 1.8-mile course in 12:21.
"She just really excelled this past year," said Mike, who runs 5Ks with Heidi whenever possible.
David, the Johnston's middle child, is a quarterback on the Balwin freshman football team, as well as a member of the track and field program.
"Sports are good for kids," Tammy said. "It keeps them active. It keeps them busy. They don't have time to sit around and do nothing. It teaches them responsibility and dedication and commitment."
Not to be overlooked, the Johnston's pet Beagle dogs and rabbits compete in shows regionally and nationally, including the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York City's Madison Square Garden.
"We have rabbits that we show and we have Beagles that we show," Tammy said of the family's newest hobby. "It's a really weird situation."
But no matter what activity it's been over the years, one thing has remained constant.
"Anything we wanted to do my mom and dad supported," Mandi said. "Everything we've done they've supported, and they're there for everything."

RED details Ray Pro, new Scarlet 2/3" specs, accessories
updated 12:30 am EST, Tue December 1, 2009
New player distributes 1080p in 4 quadrants
RED on Monday provided a wide range of updated information on several upcoming products including the Ray Pro, Scarlet 2/3", Redmote Pro, Redcine-X, and new lenses. The company's engineering team is still working overtime to develop a new layout for a manufacturing revision that should help resolve the ASIC chip issue disclosed last week. 'Fire Chief' Jarred Land admits, however, that there are still hurdles to overcome.
Development of the Ray Pro player has been moved ahead of the Consumer variant, although pricing has yet to be disclosed. The rack-mount device is capable of decoding .R3D RAW files with resolutions of up to 5K running at 30fps, along with 4:4:4 distribution-format files up to 4K. The system also handles up to 12 channels of 24-bit audio.
Four DVI-D and HD-SDI 3G outputs allow users to distribute video into four 1080p quadrants for each connection type, while a single HDMI port provides preview output. A touchscreen on the front panel offers a UI for controlling playback. Several additional slots and connectors are available for connecting storage via eSATA, USB, FireWire and Compact Flash.
The company has provided additional specs on the upcoming Scarlet 2/3" camera, confirming earlier promises of 1080p/60fps video recording and a data rate increase to REDCODE 100. The system is entirely interchangeable with EPIC, while utilizing the same FLUT color, gamma and light features. Users will be able to take advantage of a five-axis sensor plate, three-axis motion sensor, GPS receiver, Wi-Fi control, 3K RAW recording at 120fps, and more.
Upcoming lenses include a prime 18mm Pro, along with mini primes in 6mm, 8mm, 16mm, 25mm and 50mm sizes. The engineers added an internal heater to the Bomb electronic viewfinder, allowing it to be used in extremely cold environments that would cause problems for most other EVFs. The new Redmote Pro interface module features built-in wireless follow focus and several other upgrades compared to the basic model.
A new version of Redcine-X is scheduled for release later this week with a long list of updates. The software features improvements to the user interface, width/height options, caching, OpenGL, frame color, export options, zoom/crop controls, and more.
The Ray Pro is expected to ship sometime in January or February of 2010, with the consumer edition arriving later in the spring or summer. The Scarlet 8x Fixed carries a price of $4,750 for a full kit, while the brain can be purchased alone for $2,750. The Bomb EVF can be added to any system for $3,200. RED warns that its specs and prices are "subject to change as usual."

Vol 1, No 10
Peace In
Our Schools
In Our Time!
with Priscilla Prutzman
Co-author of
The Friendly
Classroom for a Small Planet
by Sun Mi Kim
A Violent Past Gives Birth to Future Hope
During the civil unrest of 1972, an organization was formed to train marshals and peacekeepers in nonviolent techniques to maintain peace during protest marches and anti-war demonstrations. Based on the philosophies of the Quakers, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mohandas K. Gandhi, this organization grew into what is now known as Creative Response to Conflict (CRC).
Realizing that the seeds of hate and hostility are planted at a young age, four teachers from this group of peace activists were asked to create a program to teach tolerance and peace-keeping skills to children. Seasoned with conflict-resolution skills gained during the protests, they formed Children's Creative Response to Conflict, or CCRC. Priscilla Prutzman was one of those teachers.
Today, with nearly three decades under its belt, CCRC continues to address the issues of violence in our homes, schools, and communities through their workshops in cooperation, communication, affirmation, bias awareness, mediation, and creative problem-solving.
As King, Gandhi, and the other great minds of our world knew, global peace begins with individuals. One school at a time, CCRC aims to guide each individual toward making peaceful choices.
More about CCRC
What kinds of nonviolence workshops do you do?
Our viewpoint is really a preventive one. We're really trying to prevent anyone from even thinking about harming others, so we try to create an environment in which people want to cooperate with each other and want to feel positive about themselves and others. That's what a lot of our very basic work speaks to directly, as does our bias-awareness work, which aims to get everybody to
differences rather than isolate others because of them to examine how we can benefit from learning more about differences.
Our bias-awareness work starts out by cultural sharing and appreciating the different cultures that are present in the group. By examining different kinds of bias, we are operating on an assumption that everybody has felt bias at some time in his or her life. By listening to each other's stories, a lot of empathy gets developed and people realize that everybody's got a similar issue on some level. Then we bring it all back to the conflict resolution skills that we learned in previous sessions, and we respond to bias from a conflict resolution perspective.
Can you give me a specific example?
We might start off by brainstorming the word ''culture,'' for example, just charting how the children define that in a very broad sense. And then we would break into small groups and do a sharing, asking each other their ideas about what's on the chart: how they identify their own culture, what they like about it, if there's anything they
like about it. They share their thoughts with each other.
Then we might brainstorm the types of bias that exist. We might examine the kinds of bias that transforms into personal, cultural, or institutional forms. And after brainstorming, we would do another small-group sharing of times that each individual had experienced bias directed against himself or herself.
As this project has been in place for a while now, have you gotten any feedback on how these workshops may have influenced the children when they got older?
One thing that we've definitely seen is the rise in self-esteem for those students who have learned to become mediators through the program. As peer mediators, they apply these skills throughout the rest of their school years. Though there have been some studies, we haven't done any extensive tracking of pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, though we do have some tracking within elementary schools, where it's really easy to tell which children have had mediation training.
We get a lot of feedback from schools where only some of the classes have had the training. In those schools, the classes that have learned conflict resolution really stand out, because when they get on any topic about conflict, they just have a huge vocabulary about it, and they see lots of options open to them.
If you haven't done a lot of conflict resolution, you kind of react to conflict by either fighting or running away. But when children and adults, too have had conflict resolution training, they begin to see an almost unlimited number of ways of responding to conflicts and problems. And that's something we've gotten a lot of feedback on.
You mentioned that prevention is more your approach. What if you go into an environment that's already full of hostility?
Actually, those are the kinds of environments that we went into originally almost always. Many years ago, when people thought of conflict resolution, nobody wanted to admit that they had a conflict, whereas everybody admits that readily now.
Of course, there are still some school systems that say, ''Well, we don't really have any problems here. We don't have any bias here. Everybody's happy.'' And that's kind of a flag, because that's never the case, really. When we hear that, we know that the kind of conflict that exists in that area is not being addressed, and that the primary mode of dealing with it is to ignore it. And when students get the idea that that's the way it's handled, our job then becomes really to get the critical mass of teachers, staff, and students to accept conflict resolution itself to accept the idea that dealing with conflict in a positive way is important.
We often have been called into situations because the need is great and the environment is hostile, but we'll still give everyone prevention skills so that when the conflicts come up in the future, as they will, they have more skills to deal with them.
Have you ever gone into a situation where you haven't been able to achieve the critical mass of teachers and parents?
Yeah. A lot of studies out there indicate that the principal of a school really has to buy into it. Quite often the parents didn't buy into it at first, but that's not as true now because everybody understands that we have to do something. It's gotten out of hand in so many incidents.
But it's also important to realize that actual violence among young people is decreasing. We hear about these localized incidents, but the actual
of incidents of violence is decreasing.
interesting. I'd like to think that the conflict-resolution people and mediation people have had a part in that. I'm sure that we have, on some level, gotten words like ''win-win'' out there. Even corporations use win-win solutions on commercials, whereas fifteen years ago, people didn't know what that meant. Nobody knew what conflict resolution meant. ''Mediation'' was frequently mistaken for ''meditation.'' That occasionally still happens, but it's much rarer.
Getting those words out there in everyone's vocabulary increases the sense that there are options nonviolent, creative options to solve our problems. Instead of fighting or running away or letting emotional and/or physical violence continue, the children try to come up with a positive solution where everybody's needs are met.
Have you found any differences between children today and children a decade or two ago? Many parents and educators are finding, for instance, more kids diagnosed with ADD and some find today's children simply different or more aggressive.
On some level, I think that's true, and I suppose you could make an argument that students know so much more from television, from news and media things being out there. There's a certain sophistication among young people that certainly didn't exist years ago.
On the other hand, a lot of the problems that existed years ago are the same as the ones that exist today: people feeling excluded, people bringing weapons to school. Bringing weapons to school is not a new thing. At the very first schools that we went into, in New York City, elementary children were carrying knives. This is not new, but I think the media didn't portray it in the same way as they are now, so perhaps we weren't as aware of it then. Unless, of course, you were in the schools, as we were.
There's another issue in there, and that is that most of these incidents now are happening in suburban schools. If you listen to the news, everybody says, ''I just can't imagine how it could happen here'' as if these suburban areas are completely immune from the violence which is really everywhere in our society. On some levels, urban schools dealt with the very direct forms of violence twenty years ago, so these incidents aren't happening there as much. Urban schools have found ways, from a variety of perspectives, to prevent them.
So the violence is more out in the suburbs now, and people are paying a lot more attention to it because of that. There are a lot of levels of frustration about it related to denial, the attitude that ''We don't have any problems here so we haven't done anything about it.''
It's kind of remarkable that out of all the incidents we've heard about in the news during the last five years, very few happened in urban schools. Of course, incidents in urban schools still exist, but they're not increasing. They're
What do you think causes aggression or hostility in children in the first place?
Well, I think oftentimes it's that they don't feel that their needs are being met or that they're part of the community. A lot of times, schools are so big that students don't feel as though they're a part of anything.
Also, there's the element of competition our society is very, very competitive. Kindergartners and first-graders
that competition, and they begin acting very competitive with each other at that early age. Then it escalates.
But if competition escalates, so does cooperation. As violence escalates, so do the opportunities for being positive toward one another. And I think when people realize that being positive to each other escalates, then people begin to accept and buy into that and work on that.
Not everybody buys into it. But if the critical mass of students and teachers and staff buy into it, then real change can happen.
Could you give me an example of the kind of mediation that you do?
Mediations are done in any conflict outside of blatant violation of a school rule such as severe violence, possession of weapons, or drugs those really need to go to other authorities. But any other disputes, like interpersonal conflict, property disputes, put-downs, name calling, friendship disputes (''This person was my friend and they agreed to go to the movies with me and they went with somebody else.'') these are cases for mediation. All of these disputes are very common. And there's a lot of clique stuff.
I'm part of this group. I used to be with this group,
and so on. There's a lot of that going on, but that's been going on for a long time, too.
It seems like the cliques are the students' way of trying to feel that they're part of something. What kind of methods are available for helping students feel that they are part of something bigger than a clique like a community?
That's where the teacher, and especially the principal, take a leadership role and say, ''The goal of our school is to include everybody and appreciate everybody.'' The teacher can say, ''The goal of our classroom is to welcome everybody, and everybody's equal here. We want to try to find what everybody's really good at and appreciate that special quality of each person.'' That's something that the teacher and administrators can really reinforce. And it has to be reinforced; otherwise, it could slip into a competitive situation where people get mean to one another.
Sometimes the principal and the teachers do try to provide this leadership, but then the children go off and act out on their own at recess or when they're on the bus. So it's important to watch where that's happening, too, and to try to create structures that reinforce the everybody-has-some-positive-quality issue.
What kind of structures?
For instance, there are certain processes where people could work with the bus drivers to make a real effort to say, ''We want everybody to have a positive bus ride home and these are our expectations.'' The point is to not let the violence escalate. Oftentimes bus drivers don't have the resources to deal with this, and besides that, they're driving. So if they don't set the ground rules beforehand, share expectations, or do things like make sure they know this person should not be sitting next to that person potential violence could erupt. We really need to think about that. Those are some techniques that can make the bus ride home more pleasant and safer for everybody. When people fight on the bus and the bus driver's in the middle of the highway you know that's a dangerous situation.
It's funny, when you came up with the example that this particular person shouldn't be sitting next to this other one that kind of reminds me of conflicts between countries.
Yeah, that's right.
So, it seems as though you're taking the kind of mediation that happens between countries and bringing that down to a more personal level.
That's right. In fact, in some of the middle schools, high schools, and occasionally in the elementary schools, we will talk about interpersonal conflict between one person and another, cultural conflict, and then international conflict, and we'll make the comparison between the two. You know, a territory fight for the best seat on the bus or what they perceive to be the best seat on the bus isn't all that different from the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. That's another place where we can integrate what we do into the curriculum.
''Curriculum'' is a really big issue in schools right now. People don't want to see conflict resolution as an add-on program; they want us to help them integrate it into literacy or other subjects. Right now, that's one of the big programs we're working on with kindergarten and first grade integrating conflict resolution into a literacy program, so it's not just an add-on that teachers don't have time to do. Instead, it's something that's done throughout the day, where everybody has the skills and the vocabulary, and they're using them.
Speaking of vocabulary, the language we use every day seems peppered with violent phrases or metaphors like ''our school is a war zone'' or ''teachers battle the kids.'' It seems as though our very language promotes conflict.
Understanding how our language contributes to conflict is actually an activity that we do with a lot of different ages. We'll brainstorm phrases that contain violence or bias, and then we will try to rephrase them. It's really an awareness activity like the phrase, ''stab him in the back'' or ''kill two birds with one stone'' you could go on and on and list all these violent phrases. We don't even hear them until we make ourselves aware of the violence or racism or sexism in our language.
It seems as though students would have to be constantly on guard, then, since our language is completely saturated with these phrases.
Right. That's really true. On the other hand, after you do an awareness activity, the next time that it comes up, everybody's aware of it. It doesn't take that much to be aware of violence in language. Racism and sexism, too if you've already talked about it there's a tendency to realize, ''Oh, that's what that is we just did it again!'' It's not that we're not going to do it again. Of course we will, because it's our everyday way of interacting. But being aware of it somehow helps to create a less violent language. Our unconscious use of violence in language inspires more violence, really.
Also, there have been some studies that show that violent video games, for instance, definitely make people numb to violence. Apparently, some of the ways they train people to shoot in war situations is very similar to video games. I find that really frightening.
Violent video games and cartoons are everywhere. What can we possibly do? It seems impossible to fully shelter our children.
I think, at least from our perspective, the best that we can do is to show that there are alternatives, and to explore what happens when you take a violent path. Even children who have done a lot of violence, when they begin examining that path they realize that the violence is going to come back on them. They begin to see that maybe it's not the best way. Previous to such examination, they may think that not only is it the best path, it's the only path.
When they do conflict resolution they can begin to see, ''Well, there are lots of choices that I have here.'' It's amazing but sometimes people don't see the choices. When they begin to see the different options, we have them internalize these alternatives so they have them to fall back on when they face conflict in the future.
What do you think are some of the most important things that parents can do to encourage their children toward peaceful behavior?
Parents, teachers, and all who work with young people are in a position of modeling. Modeling nonviolent, creative behavior is one of the best ways for children and young people to learn.
For example, if they see adults listening, they learn to listen. If they see that adults are not listening, then they think that not-listening is what you're supposed to do, you're not supposed to listen to anybody. You just compete to get said what you want to say. That's a lesson that says the world is very, very competitive as opposed to the way the world could be, where everybody gets listened to, where everybody is respected, and where we're really looking for the positive qualities of each person.
That's what we're trying to do with the affirmation theme, and the cooperation theme, and the communication theme. These are the life skills we need to function in today's world.

Within an atmosphere of positive interaction and friendship, singing, dancing, and laughing together, the children were able to find camaraderie where their adult counterparts could not.

Is there any hiker here from West Coast, USA? I am a new weekend hiker in San Francisco Bay Area and last year completed Half Dome of Yosemite. Here are some details on that hike.
Our next mission is Mount Whitney where 4 of our friends decided to hike the one day trip there (start at 2 AM and come by evening). I have gone throiugh this book already but yet not sure how difficult is hiking Mount Whitney.
I have heard only one out of every 2 people succeeds in hiking it. Is it so? Any good resource or pointers for me?

Here's a link to some info about the trail:
Hiking up Mount Whitney
One good thing is that you can't really climb it before July (climbing in snow not recommended for beginners) so you have some time to do training. Note that it's nearly 2,000 meters elevation gain which is nearly twice what you did at Half Dome. Apart from that there isn't any technical mountain-climbing required, if you go the right route that is.
One thing you'll have to work on soon, though, is getting a hiking permit. Looks like they are hard to get.

Thanks Paul for the nice link.
One thing we already did was applying for hiking in four weekends of June and we are expecting we will get permit for one of those (Fen 15 was last date to apply for this year). We deliberately chose June so that we get a little bit of snow. Looks like hiking half dome successfully has made me a little bit over-confident. But as the arrow has been shot out of bow, I can't do much any more for this year.
We will know the exact date first week of April as part of the lottery result. But I have confronted a few issues in between that I have to sort out how to manage (production deployment in office at third weekend of June and how to manage things for my wife and son so that they are okay the 2/3 days I won't be at home). Considering i have managed those, my plan is to start hard training once I get the lottery results and the date. For now it's just Sunday morning one hike even that irregularly which I am not happy with myself.
I believe I can do this with adequate preparation. I am looking for advise from people who earlier attempted and passed or failed. In fact the most valuable advise would be people who attempted but could not make it either because of reduced oxygen or height fobia or problem with endurance for the 22 miles hike. I want to learn from them.

I don't know what the snowpack is like in the southern Sierras this year, but up here in the Coast Mountains of Canada and Washington it's very low. So the hiking season is likely to start quite early. If it's the same for the Whitney area then perhaps late June would be okay.
As for altitude sickness there isn't much to say. Check out the things you should do to avoid it, but if you do get it on the hike then that's just the way things go and you'll have to deal with it if it happens. You won't be able to predict in advance whether you will get it, and I don't think there's much you will be able to do to prepare for it. Normally doing some other high-elevation hikes beforehand might help but it doesn't sound like you're going to be able to do that.
At any rate it sounds like you have the planning part under control. You'd be surprised what young and slightly crazy guys can do, so good luck with the project.

Yes, Paul. I am really looking forward to it. Once I stayed a night in a hotel at 12000 feet height in Mammoth Lakes (1oo miles forward from Yosemite) where my wife was feeling the headache causing from lower oxygen level at that height. But I didn't feel any thing. So from that I am thinking may be 14500 feet would also be not too serious for me. Instead the cold is what I am very afraid of and I have get over it for this hike. My only thinking is that if my other 3 friends can do and if hundreds of people are attempting everyday during summer then I can attempt too.
I agree. Here's the link:

We all want to save money wherever we can —particularly if you've outdone yourself with some holiday shopping this year! But, not at the exception of compromising quality or a radiant end result. Sometimes, purchasing high-performance skin care products can be costly, but, as long as you're picking the right products, I believe they can be a long-term investment that's worthwhile. After all, it's your skin that you'll wear every day for the rest of your life. Still, there are ways to save when it comes to skin care. Follow my money-saving tips to make those products last longer, giving you more bang for your buck and beautiful skin to boot!
They're thick, cumbersome, and absorb too much liquid product, wasting the excess your skin can't absorb. Instead, use a thin, cotton pad that won't leave behind cotton fibers. This way, you'll use less product, whether it be toner, eye makeup, or nail polish removers.
Always keep your alcohol-free toner damp before applying moisturizer.
Leaving it damp on the skin offers two benefits: The first is that your serum or moisturizer applied after seals in all the hydrating benefits of the toner, giving your skin a drink of much-needed moisture. Second, your moisturizer lasts longer since your skin is wet, allowing it to spread easier so you'll use less. Be sure to apply sunscreen generously since the protection it provides is dependent on how much is applied.
Don't apply cleanser directly to a wash cloth.
When you apply cleanser directly to a wash cloth (or even a facial sponge), the cloth absorbs a lot of it, and you can never get that excess cleanser back. Instead, apply it to your fingertips, which are far less absorbent so you get the maximum amount of the product on your skin. Just be sure that you wash your hands thoroughly before touching your face.
Cleansing lotions are used to remove the layer of the daily oils, makeup, dirt, and debris that have collected on your skin, so it's best to avoid diluting them so they can be most effective.
Use only the appropriate amount of product.
For cleansers, use a nickel size amount, for serums, a dime size, for night cream (face and neck), a nickel size, and for sunscreen, a quarter size for the face and neck. The key here is not to overuse, as your skin can only absorb so much. Think of it like this: Your skin acts as a sponge, it takes in what it needs, and the rest sits on top. You're just wasting product if you use too much.
Substitute your facial scrub for your cleanser.
One of the benefits of a facial scrub is its cream base, whose cleansing properties allow it to pull double duty — as a scrub and as a cleanser during your morning shower. The dual action of this particular product allows you to save some product, as well as money and time. I recommend my for beautiful, brighter looking skin. My exfoliating facial scrub uses perfectly round particles (a soft jojoba bead) to gently roll across the skin, unlike harsh natural grain scrubs with apricot or walnut husks, which can unnecessarily scratch and irritate the skin. Your skin will look and feel refreshed, renewed and glowing.
Say goodbye to product waste and get the most out of every jar and tube. I know how important it is to save money, while still maintaining healthy, beautiful skin and with these six simple tips, you can do just that! Have a beauty question? Let me know in the comments!
When it comes to our faces, we don't rely on just anyone to tell us what our skin needs to get that ever-elusive glow. Instead, we turn to skin-care veteran (and celebrity fave!) Renée Rouleau, who knows it takes more than the right products to get radiant. Each week, she'll be serving up her expert tips to keep your complexion in tip-top shape.

Nintendo Wii to get double USB hard drive?
updated 04:45 pm EDT, Thu March 12, 2009
Wii to get USB hard drive?
There is no official word from Nintendo, but a Wednesday posting on Qj floats rumors that the company's Wii gaming console getting a much-needed storage bump courtesy of an external hard drive. The drive, due to reportedly be offered in 32GB and 64GB capacities, would attach to the Wii via its rear USB ports and blend it to look like a natural part of the rectangular box.
Users will need to load a firmware update to make the hard drive work. Currently, the Wii only has 512MB of built-in storage, with an SD memory card slot letting users expand it by as much as 2GB. No release dates or pricing information is yet known about the add-on USB drive.
Nintendo has previously announced it plans to boost the Wii's onboard storage capacity.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Gov. Scott Walker said Friday he wants to end collective bargaining for nearly all public employees because the state is broke and theres no point negotiating with the unions when there is nothing to offer.
Union leaders and Democrats, powerless to stop Walkers plan from passing the Republican-controlled Legislature next week, were reeling. They blasted the proposal as a naked power grab that will gut Wisconsins deep organized labor tradition and result in layoffs that devastate the economy.
Click here to continue the story chat on this story
Walker, a Republican who took office in January, argued that his proposal is an alternative to ordering furlough days and laying off 12,000 state and local public employees over the next two years to balance a $3.6 billion budget shortfall.
"The states broke," Walker said. "Local governments are broke. They dont have anything to offer."
Walker wants to remove all collective bargaining rights, except for salary, for roughly 175,000 public employees starting July 1. Any requests for a salary increase higher than the consumer price index would have to be approved by referendum.
Starting April 1, Walker wants to force state employees to contribute 5.8 percent of their salaries to cover pension costs and more than double their health insurance contributions. That would generate $30 million this fiscal year. Currently, most public workers dont contribute anything to their pensions.
Walker said Friday that he alerted the National Guard and updated emergency plans just in case theres labor unrest. His plan would remove collective bargaining rights for prison guards, but it would exempt local police and firefighters and the state patrol.
Walker spoke about his plan at a Capitol news conference under the watch of a heavier than usual police presence. Walker, standing in front of seven state representatives and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, said no one should be surprised by his proposal.
"Unless you were in a coma for the last two years, it was clear where I was headed," Walker said.
He said he had no doubt the Legislature would pass the bill next week. Republican leaders have come out in support, but its not clear what changes may be needed to get the majority votes required to pass it in both the Senate and Assembly. Republicans have a 19-14 edge in the Senate and 60-38-1 in the Assembly.
The plan isnt about punishing state workers, its about reining in government spending, said Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford.
"Were all going to have to share in the pain," he said in a statement.
But Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, said Walker never talked about doing away with collective bargaining rights during the campaign. He called Walkers proposal "a radical departure from Wisconsin values."
Opponents have little time to mobilize as Walker and legislative Republicans push to pass the bill quickly. The proposal is massive in scope and would present a cultural shift in Wisconsin, which has a long history of organized labor and politically powerful unions that traditionally back the Democrats.
Bryan Kennedy, president of union AFT-Wisconsin that represents 17,000 workers, called it a "dark day for our state."
"Unraveling more than 50 years of labor peace in the state of Wisconsin, Scott Walkers proposal is as shocking as it is outrageous," Kennedy said in a statement.
The right to negotiate wages and benefits through a union is a fundamental underpinning of the middle class, said Wisconsin State AFL-CIO President Phil Neuenfeldt in a statement.
"Instead of balancing the budget on the backs of hard-working Wisconsinites, we need to come up with a balanced approach that looks at shared sacrifice from everyone," Neuenfeldt said.
Walker sent an e-mail to state workers on Friday morning thanking them for their service and making the case for the cuts. His administration also notified unions that current contracts would be canceled effective March 13, a necessary step before his proposed changes could take effect.
"We all recognize that these are historic times that require us to rethink how government operates," Walker said in the e-mail to workers. "I ask that we continue to work together to do what is necessary to bring the states spending in line with our taxpayers ability to pay."
Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, the states largest business group that endorsed Walker, came out in support of the proposal, calling it modest.
Walker said in an interview that the collective bargaining changes were needed to give local governments and school districts the flexibility to deal with budget cuts he will outline in his two-year budget plan released on Feb. 22. Walker said those cuts will be more than $300 million.
Walker also proposed that his Department of Health Services be given the power to make any changes necessary to save money in Medicaid, without approval by the Legislature and without having to abide by current law governing benefits and programs.
Medicaid is the fourth most expensive budget item, totaling $1.3 billion for the current year, and provides programs for the elderly, low-income, people with disabilities, children, pregnant women and others. Its projected to have a $153 million shortfall this year, which is driving Walkers call for immediate budget-balancing action.
Given that Medicaid is a federal-state partnership, its hard to know what Walker would intend to do without getting federal waivers, said Robert Kraig, director of consumer advocacy group Citizen Action of Wisconsin.
"The state cant make Medicaid rules willy-nilly," Kraig said. "Its a little hard to ascertain what the implications of this are."
Walker has called for a study into possible changes to the Wisconsin Retirement Systems defined contribution pension plans and consideration of possible changes to state health insurance plans, including higher deductible options and larger purchasing pools.
The bill also calls for selling off the states heating plants, with the money raised helping to balancing the budget.

JONESBORO — Clayton County Superior Court Judge Albert Collier dropped a charge of influencing a witness Tuesday afternoon in the case against Sheriff Victor Hill.
Collier agreed with defense attorney Marissa Goldberg that the state failed to prove the charge sufficiently to present it to the jury. However, he denied her request for a directed verdict of guilty for the remaining 27 felony charges.
Collier also denied a defense request for a mistrial but admonished prosecutor Layla Zon for comments he considered shifting the burden of proof from the state to the defense, which is not required under the constitution.
Collier also denied a defense request to dismiss the indictment after the state rested its case Tuesday. Collier reminded the attorneys that he gave them until June 2012 to file all motions, a deadline that became lax over time.
However, once the case was set for trial starting Aug. 5, Collier said all motions should have been filed and heard prior to the start of the trial.
"The court finds this is one that should have been filed prior to trial," he said. "The defense should have known about the filing of this motion prior to trial."
The charge of influencing a witness dealt with Naomi Nash, a former Hill employee who was being held in the Clayton County jail two years ago for contempt of court. Nash was arrested for refusing to testify before a special purpose grand jury investigating Hill.
Prosecutors said Hill sent an attorney to visit Nash and urge her to testify before the grand jury and testify truthfully. The attorney testified in this case to seeing her in jail and giving her the message. Nash did testify and was released from jail.
