Crime watches increasing; police cite their effectiveness
Once Nancy Love began seeing midday drug deals as she sat on the porch of her New Kensington home, she decided she'd had enough.
Three years ago, she helped to form the Parnassus Neighborhood Watch, relying on the mentorship of leaders from two other groups in the city to get pointers.
"That just infuriated me that they would do (drug deals) out in the public and be so bold, so I wondered what else was going on," said Love, 57, who bought her house 13 years ago. "When you own your home, you have a stake in your community, and when you let everything deteriorate, you're not going to have anything left."
Involvement in community watch programs remains strong even as crime rates are dropping nationally.
In September, the FBI announced that violent crimes fell by 6 percent in 2010, the fourth consecutive year of a decline. The number of property crimes has declined for eight consecutive years.
The National Sheriffs' Association, which has sponsored the watch-group concept for nearly 40 years, estimates 1,900 new groups registered with its national database last year, pushing the total to more than 25,000. That far outpaces the estimates of 7,500 to 10,000 such groups in the 1980s and 1990s, when crime spiked in the United States.
In 2002 alone, roughly 5,000 new groups formed, heeding the Bush administration's call after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to be more alert to suspicious activity, according to the National Crime Prevention Council.
Neighborhood Watch programs help to re-create the atmosphere of the "good-old days, when people knew each other and looked out for each other and knew the cop on the beat," said Matt Peskin, executive director of the National Association of Town Watch.
His group sponsors the popular National Night Out. The annual program ballooned to about 37 million participants in 2010, 15 times the size of the first event 26 years earlier.
"Especially in the last couple of years, every police department is getting crushed with budget cuts, so the community begins to play a bigger role," said Peskin of Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County.
In many communities, the typical watch group has morphed into a general town resource to sustain active memberships, encompassing educational programs, fundraising, family activities and municipal cleanups on top of promoting anonymous tip lines and encouraging residents to report suspicious activity.
These include:
• Block Watch members in Pittsburgh's Fineview neighborhood who have had a weekly "stroll and patrol" night for two years during the warmer months and organized a caroling outing for the Christmas season.
• The Aspinwall Neighborhood Watch, revitalized nearly three years ago, rewrote the borough's handbook, which volunteers hand-delivered to residents.
• A forum on drug and alcohol abuse, organized by the Bullskin Crime Watch, was filmed by the Armstrong cable television company and used in programs conducted by the Fayette County Drug and Alcohol Commission.
The new type of watch fosters a sense of community that continues even after concerns about crime dissipate, organizers said.
Bullskin's group has offered presentations about the Jacobs Creek Watershed, emergency medical personnel and volunteer firefighting.
"In doing this, we get a better idea as to what to do as neighbors and also make our community a better and safer place to live in," said Ed Zylka, president of the Bullskin group.
In a review of several studies, a 2008 report released by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services said there's some support for the argument that Neighborhood Watches are associated with a modest reduction in crime.
However, research shows that they're frequently set up in affluent, suburban communities that least need them, said David Myers, criminology professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
"In these cases, they have little or no effect because there's not much crime there," he said.
The greater result, Myers said, is a reduction in the fear of crime.
That response is familiar in Sewickley Township, a municipality of about 6,000 people that instituted a crime watch five years ago because of a spate of thefts. Residents don't have a local police force for patrols, leaving state police to respond to incidents from a barracks that's about 16 miles away.
In February, the group will start its third annual citizens academy, a multi-week class of 20 to 25 residents featuring presentations by law enforcement professionals.
Treasurer Wayne Yezerski, 72, said he thinks the crime watch is making a difference.
"At the beginning, I don't want to say 'afraid,' but people were hesitant to call the police, and I think that's starting to change," he said.
Officers from local police departments say the groups benefit them.
Bethel Park police have recruited 634 members for the program they reinstituted this year. Already, they credit residents' tips for leading to several arrests.
Munhall police, who restarted their crime watch two years ago, say interest has "really blown up" in the last eight months, when they committed to posting regularly on Facebook for 2,740 followers. Each posting gets several hundred views, said Dan Boehme, the borough's crime prevention officer.
"I am completely sold on the (crime watch) concept," he said. "No matter what the form is, it's important to have that open line of communication with the public. It gives us such an upper hand in dealing with crime."

The day had finally arrived. Wally and Stella Byam were preparing to leave for New York, where they'd head off to Africa for the Airstream Caravan. Arthur Ruiz, Caravan mechanic, also had his rig ready.
As they readied their trip, Wally and Stella addressed the Jackson Center, Ohio Airstream employees. They explained the adventure ahead, and what their efforts in manufacturing means to Airstream owners – both on the African Caravan and those enjoying the byways in the States.
With their Airstream rig in New York, Wally and Stella have just one final stop before they leave for Africa. They travel to the 2nd International Rally being held in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Wally and Stella address the group about the upcoming Airstream Wally Byam African Caravan.
They bid adieu to the Airstreamers and they are off for Africa.
I'm not sure what newspaper this clipping came from. Maybe Sidney, Wapakoneta, Dayton. Columbus may have even sent a photographer and reporter to Jackson Center.
Since Wally's early days in advertising, first at Stanford University and later in Los Angeles, he understood the value in making news.
In 1951, with the 1st Caravan to Mexico and Central America, you might have read an article in your local newspaper. In 1954, Look Magazine covered a Mexican Caravan. The trend continued when Life wrote an article about the 500 Caravan to Mexico. That's right – 500 trailer families in Mexico.
After the 1956 European Caravan, a comprehensive article with great photographs taken by Ardean Miller and a story written by Norma Miller appeared in National Geographic.
This picture marks a new chapter in Airstream's recognition in doing what others cannot (or will not) do.
Cape Town to Cairo is history. The memories will last forever.
An Airstream has been there, done that. And we're still doing what we do best – building on the dreams of adventurers young and old.

It would seem that even Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has for far too long used her position to defend the intelligence community's abuses, has limits.
Feinstein, the head of Senate Intelligence Committee, delivered a scathing rebuke of the CIA on Tuesday, accusing it of breaking laws in an effort to undermine the panel's investigation of what is euphemistically referred to as CIA's "interrogation" program.
The CIA tortured al-Qaeda suspects for several years during the administration of President George W. Bush. The Obama administration shut down the program upon coming into office in 2009, but no officials have been charged with wrongdoing.
Feinstein has consistently supported the expanded powers of the intelligence agencies since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which makes her charges that much more remarkable - and, to her critics, suspect.
The California Democrat's broadside on the Senate floor wasn't so much the result of an epiphany as it was a counter-assault in a long-simmering battle between the legislative and executive branches.
Feinstein accused the Central Intelligence Agency of secretly removing documents, searching computers used by the committee and attempting to intimidate congressional investigators by requesting an FBI inquiry of their conduct.
CIA Director John Brennan disputed the charges within hours of Feinstein's speech.
It was the request for the FBI probe that prompted Feinstein's verbal assault, and the 80-year-old agency said she has sought an apology. Even were such an apology forthcoming, it wouldn't cut it.
Feinstein says she wants to release the 6,000-page Intelligence Committee report on the torture program. We agree. The public also should see the CIA's own three reports on the program.
Feinstein had it right when she said, "How this will be resolved will show whether the Intelligence Committee can be effective in monitoring and investigating our nation's intelligence activities, or whether our work can be thwarted by those we oversee."
It's been clear up to now that Congress has been derelict in this oversight role. Perhaps this will be the opportunity to right that wrong. Other views:
San Jose Mercury News
Feinstein's request for an FBI inquiry into the CIA's conduct deserves support. It might be easier to obtain if she'd made even a token gesture to rein in the NSA's persistent overreaches.
But her proposal to reform the NSA is "a joke," says the author of the Patriot Act, Wisconsin Rep. James Sensenbrenner.
He says her idea of reform only confirms that "there is no limit - apparently, according to the NSA - on what they can collect. That has to be stopped."

The New York Times
When the Senate staff compiled a still undisclosed 6,300-page report, it described these acts and also concluded that the C.I.A. had falsely claimed that torture and other brutality produced useful intelligence. The report has been going through the snail's pace review and declassification process since December 2012. The C.I.A. disputed some of its findings. But Ms. Feinstein publicly confirmed on Tuesday that an internal review by the C.I.A. had reached conclusions similar to those in the Senate staff report.

Even those who fought to legitimize torture - or the regular Americans who think that it's just fine with them - should be alarmed by the alleged behavior of the agency in charge. If the Justice Department finds that the CIA isn't trustworthy, can those who support the detention and torture programs really know what they are supporting?

VIENNA (November 27, 2012)--A diagram that The Associated Press obtained shows that Iranian scientists have run computer simulations for a nuclear weapon that would produce more than three times the explosive force of the World War II bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.
Officials of a country critical of Iran's atomic program leaked the diagram to bolster their arguments that Iran's nuclear program must be halted before it produces a weapon.
They provided the diagram only on condition that they and their country were not named.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, the Vienna-based U.N. nuclear watchdog, reported last year that it had obtained diagrams indicating Iran was calculating the "nuclear explosive yield" of potential weapons.

Do you want to write for Ink 19?
Hawthorne Heights
Cardboard Empire Records
Four earnest-looking young men have produced a very earnest-sounding album that explores all the usual guy stuff: insecurity, messed up romances, and a world that hates them or at least feels that way. Believing the world hates you is more reassuring than the truth: the world barely knows you exist. So, the best thing to do is pound out some heartfelt rock and roll.
Hawthorne Heights bounces up to the edge of metal, but never crosses over, preferring to stick with downer pop. These guys take life and rock seriously: "Stranded" pours cold water on hope as we hear "I feel a little fire trickling in my chest." But don't get your hopes up, as the response is "Oh Lord, where did I go wrong?" I can't really say, but while he's bemoaning life, I'm grooving to the guitarist. Next I'll recommend "Running in Place," where this mysterious "love feeling" never gets a chance to infect as our singer stands outside someone's window doubling as a prospective Romeo and a creepy stalker guy. You get the idea -- hot guitar work and angst-ridden lyrics make this seven-track collection the sort of thing to listen to when driving fast and wondering why girls won't talk to you. Have patience, and lay off the Axe.

An inmate who escaped from the Henry County jail was captured late Monday in a Hancock County motel.
David Allen Kline III, 29, was captured by officers from the Henry and Hancock county sheriff departments and the Greenfield Police Department at the Dollar Inn Motel, 2180 N. State St., Greenfield about 11 p.m.
Authorities said Kline escaped from the jail early Monday through a hole in the Henry County jail's roof.
He was charged Monday with escape, a Class C felony carrying a standard four-year prison term. He was convicted of escape in 2004, one of his at least four prior felony convictions.
The New Castle man is set to stand trial Jan. 28 on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and intimidation. Authorities allege Kline - forbidden from possessing firearms because of past felony convictions - pointed a handgun at his employee in his New Castle tattoo shop last January.

A Dozen Home Remedies to Cure Hiccup
Hiccups may seem occasionally a symptom of life-threatening condition. But in reality, hiccup is not fatal. A bout of hiccups lasting for days may end up in other health complications.
Hiccups occur while eating spicy food or drinking alcoholic beverages. Some say it is a disease caused by irritation in the diaphragm. It is also caused by chronic illnesses such as strokes or tumors in the brain. One need not be panic as hiccup is harmless and will go away on its own. However, hiccup can also be fatal in extreme cases.
A dozen home remedies to cure hiccup
1) Distraction is said to be one of the most successful cure for hiccup. But since many cases seem to be based on a shortage of carbon dioxide, anything that interrupts normal breathing patterns can get rid of the hiccups.
2) Most popular cure for hiccup is drinking water. Drinking water will bring back diaphragm function to normal position and cure hiccup.
3) Blocking both the ears and drinking 6 ounces water without stopping to breathe is another remedy that helps to stop hiccups from recurring.
4) Deep breathing has been an effective home remedy for hiccup. When you feel hiccup is going to occur try taking a deep breath and hold. If you feel another hiccup is about to happen, quickly take another deep breath and hold.
5) Generally, hiccups stop after 2 or 3 occurrences. This kind of deep breath exercise changes your body's balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide, which normally stops hiccups.
6) Chewing a piece of fresh lemon helps to make the diaphragm disorder back to normal and stop hiccup.
7) Swallowing a little sugar makes your diaphragm contract. This stops hiccups immediately.
Gargling with lukewarm water when you have hiccup helps to cure it. This is an effective natural remedy to stop hiccups immediately.
9) Mix one drop of peppermint essential oil in a small glass of water and drink the mixture. This stops hiccups quickly.
10) Spices such as clove, ginger, cinnamon and ginseng have beneficial effects on the digestive system and can be used in combination as an effective natural way to cure hiccups.
11) Ayurveda prescribes preparations made of cardamom called Eladi Vati to patients suffering from hiccups. For recurring hiccups Ayurveda prescribes a few home remedies. One of them is sucking a piece of fresh lemon frequently which gives quick relief.
12) Application of ice pack can be productively used to stop hiccups. Keep an ice pack in the area where your diaphragm is located for some time until the hiccup stops.

Johnny R. Kennedy, who is in prison in Michigan on an unrelated murder case from the 1990s and was scheduled to be paroled, is accused in the November 1993 slaying of a 27-year-old woman, Police Chief James Craig said during a news conference today. / Michigan Department of Corrections
Detroit police say they have solved a 20-year-old killing.
Johnny R. Kennedy, 57, who is in prison in Michigan on an unrelated murder case from the 1990s and was scheduled to be paroled, is accused in the November 1993 slaying of a 27-year-old woman, Police Chief James Craig said during a news conference Friday.
The woman, identified by police as Tonya Harris, was found nude and unresponsive inside a building in the 2300 block of Cass, and the case had remained unsolved since.
As part of the regular review of cold cases, evidence collected from the crime scene 20 years ago provided a DNA match to Kennedy, police said, although they declined to describe the evidence.
Kennedy, who is being held at the Central Michigan Correctional Facility in St. Louis, Mich., is being charged with one count of homicide, open murder and a fourth offense as a habitual offender, police said. Kennedy is serving a 15- to 30-year sentence for a murder in Wayne County in 1995, and his criminal history, which dates to at least 1974, includes convictions for criminal sexual conduct and armed robbery.
Craig said the department is making progress on cold cases and will be rolling out a major case squad with Michigan State Police, whose crime lab handled the DNA analysis from the Harris killing, to tackle issues like cold cases.
He said recent changes, such as moving detectives back to the precincts, were already having a positive effect on cold cases, although addressing all of the citys cold cases is a daunting challenge, as you can imagine. Police did not say how many cold cases Detroit has.
Craig said that in the last 30 days, the department has closed 15 homicides: 11 from 2013 and four from 2012. And year to date, the city has seen a 15% reduction in homicides, or 54 fewer killings.
Were trending in the right direction, Craig said.
Also at the news conference, Craig noted dramatic improvements in the departments clearance rates, from about 11% when Craig arrived this year to possibly 55% now of cases year to date. The chief has set a clearance rate goal of 70%, which would be in line with the industry standard of 65%-80%, he said.
In addition, the department is hiring 15 civilian dispatchers with a plan to reach 100 total civilian dispatchers. The change follows well-publicized problems with department response times that Craig said also have improved dramatically.
For me, civilianization means we can put sworn police officers in the field to do what we need to do, Craig said of shifting away from having officers as dispatchers. The complete transition to civilian dispatchers, however, will not happen overnight, he cautioned.

Florida voters passed Amendment 7 in 2004 under the belief that they have the right to know if a physician is or has been involved in any type of adverse medical event. One consequence is the stifling of peer review. Here's what Florida physicians need to know.

Last month, MyPlates.com sold 1,300 seven-letter plates, which put $265,000 into the Texas general fund, reported the Texas company which has a contract with the state to design, market and sell specialty license plates.
Seven-letter plates are only available to order online certain days of the year. They are sold for $395 to $795 for one- to 10-year ownerships, according to information on MyPlates.com.
Seven-letter plates are also available at special auctions held periodically by the company. Those auctions sell messages deemed too valuable to sell at regular prices, the company said.
The next auction will be at Houston's Reliant Center on Jan. 25 during the Houston Auto Show. It is open to the public.
That auction will sell 10 specialty plates. Only one of the speciality plates to be auctioned has been revealed so far. That plate is "HOUSTON." The winning bid will own the plate name for 10 years and will also have first rights to renew it.
MyPlates.com held its first Texas specialty plate auction at Cowboys Stadium in the Dallas area in January 2011. That resulted in the most expensive plate ever sold in Texas: "FERRARI," which sold for $15,000.
A "COWBOYS" speciality plate sold for $11,500.
Money from the Houston auction will go to select charities and the Texas general fund.
Texas has had personalized license plates since 1965, but it only recently added a seventh character, MyPlates.
Texans have bought more than 116,000 personalized plates from MyPlates.com since November 2009, which pumped $12.6 million into the state general fund, the company reported.

9 Outrageous Banned iPhone Apps
From Smuggle Truck to Pocket Girlfriend, see nine over-the-top pulled iPhone apps. By Nina Strochlic.
As The Social Network pointed out, a big part of making an online profile is to scope out who's single, interested, or in a relationship. PinPointX took that to heart, combining a GPS with a social-networking site called "Passion Map" and allowing users to map out the locations of potential sexual partners for easy access. The app even had a scheduling function for "meetings."

CLEVELAND -- A minivan crashed into the side of St. Vincent Charity Medical Center in Cleveland early Thursday morning.
The crash was reported shortly before 1 a.m. at East 24th Street and Community College Avenue.
The driver of a stolen Dodge minivan lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a metal grate on the side of the building, damaging a traffic light control mechanism in the process.
A nearby traffic light went out as a result of the crash.
Crews were working overnight to safely remove the car because it is balanced on a grate that covers a 30-foot trench on that side of the building.
The whereabouts of the driver are not known at this time.

Donna Elkins BSN, RN, speaks about the ostomy support group she helps at Gateway Medical Center.
- Filed Under
On the second Tuesday of each month a small group of special people gather at Gateway Medical Center for their support group meeting. The members do not consider themselves special or even unique. They will tell you that too.
These monthly support group meetings attract between 10 and 15 attendees. They share something in common. All are survivors of serious illnesses and all have one of three types of ostomies: colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. If not for that medical procedure, they would have died.
Jan Mossman has been a member of the ostomy support group since 2001 and president since ...

Types of Awareness - How aware are you of what is going on around you? Dave discusses "lifestyle" awareness and "situational" awareness and how they can help you stay safe. Knowing what is out of place in your environment, or what doesn't "feel" right, should be the first step in your personal safety plan.
Look Smart - Don't want to be a victim? Then don't look like a victim. Don't look like prey. Dave talks about how to look "sharp" and "switched on" to avoid confrontation.
The Best Defense - Why being on defense is not the best plan. Have a "personal security" plan before you need it.

Why do we need abortion funds? Online chat with Lilith Fund, January 15
January 13th, 2014
Categories: abortion restrictions, economic justice, Funds, Lilith Fund, unfair laws
In November, a federal district court ruled that the far-reaching abortion restrictions signed into law by Governor Perry in Texas last summer could go into effect. Clinics across the state closed overnight, and suddenly volunteer-run abortion funds were faced with an avalanche of new calls in addition to their existing caseloads. How have they been coping with the increased demand?
Join Lindsay Rodriguez, board chair of Texas-based Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity, in an online chats hosted by activist Katie Klabusich this Wednesday, January 15th:

|Why CIOs Desperately Need a Technology-Literate Society (27-Sep-2012)
Why the mismatch? Why don't more young people select STEM careers, or at least STEM courses that would better prepare them for the job market? According to MIT professor Richard Larson, a pioneer in applying STEM capabilities to a wide variety of problems, one of the main reasons for this is a series of misconceptions about STEM and the careers that result from that sort of educational track — misconceptions often perpetuated by STEM teachers themselves. Conversely, educators and professionals don't do a good enough job of explaining why STEM literacy is a critical skill, even for students who don't intend to become engineers or PHDs.

|Generation What Girls Say about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (15-Feb-2012)
|Over the past 50 years, women in the United States have made great strides in education and
entry into the work force in this country. However, despite these advances, women continue to
be underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, collectively
referred to as "STEM." Women's representation is low at all levels of the STEM career "pipeline,"
from interest and intent to majoring in a STEM field in college to having a career in a STEM field in
adulthood. Studies show that girls lose interest in math and science during middle school, and
STEM interest for girls is low, compared to boys. Most research on this topic has focused on
representation of girls and women in these fields, primarily on the obstacles preventing more
girls and women from entering them. It is time now to shift the focus toward understanding
and developing solutions for "what works" for girls who show interest and engage in the fields
of STEM.

text: Cancun Cops Probe Grisly Murders of 7 Strangled victims were 'independent drug dealers,' officials say By Ruth Brown, Newser Staff Posted Apr 15, 2013 2:33 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (14) (Newser) – Police in the Mexican vacation hotspot of Cancun have arrested seven suspects after finding five men and two women murdered in a shack, Reuters reports. Six victims had been strangled to death and a seventh had been decapitated. "It looks like the victims were independent drug dealers without any links to any specific cartel," the state's deputy attorney general says. The resort had long been largely untroubled by the drug violence shaking other parts of Mexico, but this is the second mass killing in the space of a few weeks. Last month, six people were killed when gunmen opened fire in a bar. A soldier guards police vehicles outside a police station in Cancun, Mexico.

I have a stand alone
program which loops across all tables present in the database, and does not close the prepared statements and result sets created during the code execution, which finally leaves as many un used prepared statements and result sets open as the number of tables.
Now the question is, will this hurt the machine that is executing this stand alone Java code? My observation is that the LAN card of the machine executing the stand alone java code shows 80% usage even after termination of the program. Restarting the machine makes things normal.
How to understand this?
PS - One more thing is, responsibly closing the result sets and the prepared statements is not eating off the LAN card even after program termination.

Firstly, the reason you need to close resources is that they are not 'owned' by the JVM but by something external to the application.
If you don't close resources then something, somewhere will eventually run out of resources.
With database resources, these resources are owned by the database. If you don't close these resources (or tell the database that you're done with them) then your application will continue to run fine, but the database will begin to suffer and eventually will no longer be able to accept new connections and any one using the database - not just you - will suddenly stop working.
I'm not sure why you can see the issue locally on your network card, but it may depend on your
driver and driver type. For example if the driver is type 2 or 3 it may rely on native code on the local system and this could remain active even after the JVM closed down.
The big lesson is that closing resources is important.

I forgot to say that the code is executing on a single connection. So, the DB has to only maintain, the results and the compiled prepared statements. The amount of memory foot print for this on the DB side, depends upon the type of the result set and the number of tuples in the result. This should be the impact on the DB server side. This is understood, and right now this is not the point I'm trying to understand.
The observation that the LAN card suffocates even after the program termination should be attributed to what? What I feel is that, the JDBC driver finally might be interacting with the LAN card through some JNI wrapper, which has a bug and did not release the LAN resources back to the Operating System. Can we think so? This just is a wild guess.
Any opinions?
Edit - Oh Sorry - you said the same thing David! Now this can be a probable bug that can be filed to SUN?

But if the DB Driver uses native code and you don't tell the native code that you're done, how will it know? If you tell Sun they'll say it isn't a bug in their code, it's a bug in yours

About the School of Practical Nursing
The Akron School of Practical Nursing (ASPN) program is designed to prepare adult learners for a professional career as a licensed practical nurse. The ASPN program is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing with a status of Full Approval for 5 years (the highest approval the OBN will honor) and has a 6 year accreditation through the Council on Occupational Education (COE) http://www.council.org/. For more information about national and program accreditation, please contact the school. ASPN is one of the most affordable practical nursing programs within Northeast Ohio - costing under $14,000. ASPN students consistently succeed in passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) with scores well above the state and national levels. ASPN has relationships with Akron's leading health care facilities, opening doors for students to complete clinical training requirements in some of the region's top health care facilities. The ASPN program prepares students to enter the workforce in as little as 10 months with a new class beginning each August and each January. The ASPN has successfully graduated over 5,000 students.
History of the School of Practical Nursing
In 1951, Worth Howard, executive director of Akron City Hospital, was very conscious of the need for more nurses. He approached the Akron Board of Education about the possibility of meeting the need through vocational education. The program, which was the seventh in the state of Ohio, opened in September 1951 and was approved by the National Association of Practical Nurse Education and Services Inc. It was operated by the Akron Board of Education and with the cooperation of the Akron hospitals. In 1956, the school received approval from the Ohio State Board of Nursing Education and Registration and, in 1976, was accredited by the National League for Nursing. The school was initially located in the Leggett Elementary School building. The school moved to Margaret Park Elementary School, then back to expanded facilities in the Leggett Elementary School building in 1967. There were 27 students in the first class. In 2009, the Akron School of Practical Nursing was moved into the Erie Island building off Copley Road. To date, the Akron School of Practical Nursing graduated more than 5,000 practical nurses. The passage rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) remains between 92-100%, and the demand for graduates continues to be very high in the health-care community.

Denver, Colorado, the state's largest city and capital. It lies on the western edge of the Great Plains in north-central Colorado. The city is coextensive with Denver County. Within view to the west is the Front Range, one of the loftiest mountain ranges in the Rockies. Because of its elevation, 5,280 feet (1,609 m) above sea level at the capitol building, Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City. Its climate—pleasant and invigorating and marked by sunny, dry weather—is one of the city's chief assets.
Much of Denver is residential in nature, especially in the east. Industry centers primarily along the South Platte River, which follows a looped, northerly course through the city. Downtown Denver, with many high-rise office buildings, banks, and hotels, lies in a triangular area northwest of the state capitol, between Broadway, Colfax Avenue, and Valley Highway. Large suburbs include Arvada, Aurora, Lakewood, and Westminster.
Denver, the largest city in the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains area, serves as a regional hub, especially in wholesaling, finance, and transportation. Manufacturing is a significant but not dominant part of the city's economy. Much of its industry—such as grain milling, beet sugar refining, and meat packing—consists of processing farm and ranch products from the surrounding area. Other industries in or near Denver include the manufacturing of machinery and metal products, rubber goods, precision instruments, electronic equipment, missiles, petroleum products, transportation equipment, clothing, and leather goods.
Denver is a major center for companies engaged in the exploitation of energy resources, including coal, petroleum, natural gas, and uranium. Other important industries include printing and publishing, insurance, and, especially, tourism.
Federal agencies and military installations in the metropolitan area provide employment for thousands of persons. Among the largest employers are the Denver Federal Center, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Fitzsimons Army Medical Center, and the U.S. Mint.
Because of its location, Denver is one of the chief focal points of transportation in the western part of the nation. Serving the city are numerous railways, airlines, and highways, including three Interstate highways and the Denver-Boulder Turnpike. Denver International Airport is 23 miles (37 km) northeast of downtown Denver. The city also has a light-rail transportation system.
At the edge of downtown Denver stands the capitol building, its dome glistening with gold leaf to commemorate the gold rushes that led to the settlement of the state. Opposite the capitol is the Civic Center, which includes the City and County Building, the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Public Library, and a Greek-style outdoor amphitheater. Also near the capitol is the Colorado History Museum, which houses American Indian and pioneer exhibits. Other downtown attractions include the U.S. Mint; the Black American West Museum and Heritage Center; the Museum of Western Art; Larimer Square, an area of fine shops, galleries, and cafes; and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, with theaters and facilities for the city's symphony orchestra, ballet, and opera company.
Numerous parks and recreational areas dot the city. The largest is City Park on Denver's east side. Located here is the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, with many animal and bird displays, mineral exhibits, and American Indian artifacts. City Park is also the site of the Denver Zoo, a planetarium, and a lighted fountain. A few blocks away is Cheesman Park, with a panoramic view of the Rockies. Adjoining the park is the Denver Botanical Gardens, featuring a tropical conservatory.
Denver also maintains a system of parks, ski areas, and recreation sites in the mountains. The Park of the Red Rocks, which is part of the system, has a 10,000–seat amphitheater in a natural setting of enormous red rocks. It is the site of various kinds of concerts. In nearby Golden is Lookout Mountain Park, site of the tomb of William F. ("Buffalo Bill") Cody.
Elitch Gardens is notable for its amusement park and formal gardens. A major event, held annually at the Coliseum, is the National Western Livestock Show, Horse Show, and Rodeo. The Colorado Convention Center, located downtown, is the state's largest convention facility. Denver has professional football, basketball, hockey, and baseball teams (the Broncos, Niggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rockies). The University of Colorado at Denver and the University of Denver are the city's largest institutions of higher learning. Other schools in Denver include Metropolitan State College of Denver and Regis University.

I've searched high and low, I've tried buckets, bins, boxes and bowls. I've looked everywhere from the fancy container type stores to the local goodwill and today I finally found a storage solution for my washi tape that works for me! Not only does it hold ALL of my washi but it allows me to organize it by color AND I can see each and every roll. Better yet, it's space saving and I can take it with me wherever I may be cropping. What is it you ask? It Is….
The ArtBin Super Satchel Removable Divider Box (9007AB)
Here is a picture of it filled with all of my wonderful washi.
I can put the little dividers in anywhere I like which allows me to organize my washi tape by color. It costs around $10 on Amazon and $20 at Joann but if you use a coupon you can get it for 50% off. Best of all, it doesn't take up a lot of space and you can throw it in your crop bag and take it with you when you go to a crop!

My friend Sharon's husband, Wesley has been helping me get the outside of my house back in order. They are a nice couple and he is able to fix anything. My house has been power washed, trees have been cut down and my basement is getting cleaned out so PRAISE the LORD. Wesley even sprayed twice for my giant sized bee hive. There are thousands of bees and they don't make honey but don't ask me what kind of bee they are. Thanks Wesley.

My next project is going to be remodeling my kitchen. New floor, counter tops, appliances, etc. Then I will be very happy and Grouchy Bear will be looking down and moaning at the trees that have been cut down and the money that will be spent on the kitchen. The trees that were putting roots in the septic tank and one tree that was wrapped around the propane tank had to go.
Sorry dear. See the rest of you next week.
