Ole Miss may have signed its quarterback of the future when former Texas quarterback Jevan Snead transferred after his true freshman season last December. The Rebels are now poised to recruit the Lone Star state with a lot more energy and effort. One athlete that Ole Miss has offered is Keanon Cooper from Dallas Skyline High School. Cooper currently is holding nine official offers including Ole Miss, Minnesota, Kansas State, Texas Tech, Wisconsin, Purdue, TCU, Arizona and Colorado. "I have interest in Ole Miss," Cooper said Sunday night. "Right now, I don't know a lot about them other than they are coming after me hard. I'm interested in the teams that are interested in me and they are definitely one of those." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast
Richard Herring chats with some of the biggest names in comedy. It's ad-libbed and unedited and largely unplanned - the conversations can go off on all kinds of comedic tangents, or be serious. Recorded in front of a paying audience.
RHLSTP #88: John Finnemore - Peeps at Syria. Richard is stupidly hungover after a rare night out at a top showbiz party and wonders what you buy the man who has had everyone. His guest is the affable and probably sexually vanilla John Finnemore. They discuss the stupidity of working hard for the radio, the three-legged dog that gives John all of his ideas, when Richard was embarrassed by thinking a zombie apocalypse had begun, working with Benedict Cumberbatch and things that make you feel sick. Is Finnemore cursed to live the life of the other John Finnemore? And the small print of the holiday with the Spitting Image puppet is thoroughly explored.

Furniture in about 420 rooms in three Shippensburg University residence halls will be offered for sale in a live, public auction at 10 a.m. Dec. 18 on the campus.
Auctioneer Terry L. Shetter, Chambersburg, will lead the auction in an area central to Lackhove, Kieffer and McCune residence halls on the west side of campus.
His wife, Tiffiny Shetter, said furniture in each dorm room will be auctioned off together at first, but individual pieces may be available toward the end if there are no more buyers for whole rooms.
Common room furniture including couches, love seats, lounge chairs and end tables, as well as three Brunswick pool tables, a ping pong table and a Wenger sound module system (sound proof booth) will be available too. Approximately three-year-old bathroom fixtures including sinks, urinals, hand dryers and toilets will also be up for auction.
The furniture is being sold ahead of spring demolition of the three residence halls to make way for phase two of a project to build new, suite-style residence halls on the campus. The university took ownership of the first three buildings in November.
"We're hoping that we can do the best that we can for the university," Tiffiny Shetter said. "Their basic goal is they don't want it going in a land fill; they want someone to use it."
Terry Shetter hopes to get $100 for each dorm room of furniture, but said he believes some rooms will go for much less given that the furniture is the style typically found in a dorm room.
"Proceeds from the auction will go back to the residence hall fund, which is a university fund, because that was the fund used to purchase the furniture in the residence halls," said Pete Gigliotti, communications director for SU.
Winning bidders will not be charged a premium on top of sale price. Pictures of items to be sold are available at www.auctionzip.com. Enter identification code 1645.

US General Hypes Threat of IEDs
Gen. Barbero laughably claims IEDs are a 'pervasive' threat to ordinary Americans
Improvised explosive devices were made infamous and frequently used by insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, but now a top US general is claiming IEDs are a threat to the homeland.
"The global proliferation of IEDs and associated technology is pervasive and continues to threaten US interests at home and abroad," Lt. Gen. Michael Barbero, head of the military's Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, told a congressional hearing on Thursday.
Americans may be surprised that this is a significant threat to their every day lives, especially because most citizens have never even heard of IEDs because they, in fact, are not a threat. Barbero tried to illustrate how "pervasive" IEDs are becoming outside Iraq and Afghanistan, but he couldn't name a single American who wasn't wearing a military uniform and occupying another country that's been killed by one.
"Since January 2011, there have been more than 10,000 global IED events occurring in 112 countries, executed by more than 40 regional and transnational threat networks," he added. Oh, scary.
"The threat is indeed real," Barbero insisted. Except that it isn't. He seems to have flubbed his numbers a bit, considering the National Counterterrorism Center's annual report for 2011 found that there were about 10,000 acts of violence that occurred last year that the government classifies as terrorism.
Exactly zero of them occurred in the US and, of those that died, .001% of them were American (and all but one were civilian contractors in Afghanistan and Iraq).
The fact that this US general is the head of a military bureaucracy specifically dedicated "defeating" to IEDs should immediately prompt scrutiny of his estimation of how big the threat is. As Micah Zenko of the Council on Foreign Relations wrote in Foreign Affairs, "Warnings about a dangerous world also benefit powerful bureaucratic interests. The specter of looming dangers sustains and justifies the massive budgets of the military and the intelligence agencies, along with the national security infrastructure that exists outside government — defense contractors, lobbying groups, think tanks, and academic departments."

Good article, John. Here's another one of these chrome-domed, lying, no honor/no integrity generals in their new/old Ulysses S. Grant uniforms ensconced in their Pentagon fantasyland telling lies and propaganda to justify his parasite job and the continuation of the perpetual Imperial War State he propagandizes for.
He needs to stoke the fear of IEDs to justify his lavishly supported occupation
"…Barbero laughably claims IEDs are a 'pervasive' threat…"
It will only be pervasive once the Archons decide which Americans they want to sacrifice in order to make the prophecy self-fulfilling – and then begin he terrorizing of the "Homeland"/"Motherland"/"Fatherland" – and the inevitable clampdown on the freedom of movement with our borders – of all people.
Methinks he let the prophetic cat out of the bag a wee bit early.
Iran should charge a $5,000 fee to inspect for hidden bombs every oil tanker that wants passage thru Hormuz Strait. For what if the CIA does one of its notorious "false flag" operations and blows up a million gallon tanker dead center in the Strait?
And so, then every time the sanctions get stronger, the weeks it takes to inspect a tanker get longer. Anyway, let's try it for 4 years and see what happens.
IED's, car bombs both parked and remotely guided, low-tech drones, and all manner of asymmetric attacks are indeed coming to a neighborhood near you. Absolutely. Blowback, courtesy of the US's imperial savagery around the globe. So whether they're here now or they arrive later is irrelevant.
The general is right, but the general and those like him are the cause. And of course it's all so very logical.
The general needs a paycheck, and the general's business is war. For him and the other generals to have a thriving business — more budget, more prestige, more puffed-up self-importance, and a whopping big paycheck — they need more war, ongoing war, or — the tip top best case for them — perpetual war. That is achieved through the war on terror, which must eventually provoke those under attack by the US across the globe to bring their most successful tactics of asymmetric war here to the homeland.
Then of course the nascent but full-term police state emerges into full-blown all growed up tyranny,…and America, the fading dream, finally dies.
The earth is quite large. Study up. I'm no doomsday conspiratorial survivalist, but right about now I'd have to agree with them: time to start looking for some out of the way place to whether the storm.
might work except for one thing…Iran doesn't "own" Hormuz – it is classified as International waters. Besides, that's something the US might try and do…with a coalition of "willing" co-conspirators, of course – wouldn't want it to look like they're a bully, you know.
Considering that a single Black Cat firework properly placed and detonated can qualify as an IED, I'm already beginning to construct an underground bunker complete with lead lining (for those Iraqi nukes- oh, wait) and a six-month food supply (that's a lot of dehydrated hash browns) and a positive air filtration system (for the inevitable danger from rogue hands gaining access to Syrian chem/bio stocks once our coup against Assad is complete). Along with all the guns and ammo I'll need to stock up on, that's a good chunk of money that I really can't afford, but dangit we Americans are in such looming danger EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY I don't see how I'll make it.
Then again, maybe I'll just keep going to work as usual, and maybe I'll get some extra plastic sheeting and duct tape. You know, just in case.
Hash browns, anyone?
Both Iran and Oman share the Strait of Hormuz, half and half, as their own territorial waters — the Strait is only 21 miles wide. Navigation is handled through their territorial waters for transit purposes like this:
(From Wiki:) To traverse the Strait, ships pass through the territorial waters of Iran and Oman under the transit passage provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.[4] Although not all countries have ratified the convention,[5] most countries, including the U.S.,[6] accept these customary navigation rules as codified in the Convention.
We have seen it with the TSA stopping traffic and searching vehicles, we are now seeing Generals make comments of wholesale domestic terrorism of a type not seen in the US. Yes there have been a few car bombs but these are not what is known as an IED, furthermore we have seen the use of th term WMD, a weapon designed to kill thousands, be relegated to weapons like a hand grenade, so as to better pad a criminal charge sheet!
The name of the game is to instill PANIC, because when there is PANIC there is the ability to do things that take away our Liberties! This I believe is an excuse to have UAVs in the skies of America, ARMED UAVs, The wish of the Military Industrial complex, UAVs contracted out to Civilian Contractors to bypass what is left of Posse Commitatus, based on they are a "Police" presence!
thx for doing the research I should have done.
Our predator chickens are certain to come home to roost in the forms of car bombs, IEDs, and the like. General Barbarity may have other agendas than the search for truth and anticipation of human nature- but we are kidding ourselves to think that the millions enraged by the ongoing USi MICrampage will not hit back.
What we must remember about coming blowback victimizing passive supporters of the War on Terra is that the just response can never be military mobilization, but instead the less lucrative, less spectacular, even mundane duties of international policing and prosecution against any and all who take up violence against general populations in ostensibly settling bloody scores.
Cults of miltarism and nationalism are exhibiting defining tantrums of irrelevancy, and we shall all get back to more sustainable and sustaining life, both locally and globally, when the hurly-burly is done. We're stuck on stupid only because those of us who can articulate the truth are not sufficiently doing so. Inform and persuade everyone you interact with, that we can't violently achieve any semblance of physical, psychological, or financial security here at the end of the age of empires by behaving as a self-righteous cultural master-race.

Dudley's James Whale: A life in pictures
Posted: October 18, 2012|
Visitors to the cinema at Dudley's Castle Gate will be familiar with the large sculpture honouring the Dudley-born film director James Whale (1889-1957). This man of humble origins was transformed by his experiences during the First World War to become a critically acclaimed Hollywood director remembered for some of the most iconic movies in film history.
Whale was a man of great artistic talents and as well as his theatre and film work he was a skilled painter and cartoonist.
A new exhibition at Dudley Museum and Art Gallery, running until January 2013, explores this aspect of his work, with around 50 paintings and drawings on display, many rarely seen in public before.
James Whale was born 22nd July, 1889, the fifth of sixth children born to William and Sarah Whale. His father was a furnaceman, his mother a nurse, and the family home was at 4 Parkhill Street, near Buffery Park, Dudley.
James was an intelligent boy and was taught at Kates Hill Board School, then Baylies' Charity School, and finally Dudley Blue Coat School, but his schooling did not extend beyond the age of 14 because young James was needed to work and earn money for his family. His brothers had jobs in the local foundries but James was too slight of frame for heavy industrial work and so he became a cobbler. He supplemented his income by writing labels and signs for his neighbours and by selling for scrap the old nails he removed from the shoes he repaired. With this money he financed evening classes at Dudley School of Art, in the very building where the current exhibition is displayed.
The First World War transformed James Whale's life. By becoming an army officer he was able to transcend his class and he was introduced to the theatre, which in turn, after the war was over, took him to America and then on to Hollywood.
Whale enlisted in the army where his abilities were recognised and he was selected for officer training.
He joined the Inns of Court Officer Training Corps in October 1915 and was stationed at Bristol. In July 1916 he was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the 7th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment.
He was taken prisoner by the Germans in Flanders in August 1917 and spent the rest of the war at Holzminden POW camp in Lower Saxony.
As a prisoner Whale was able to practice his art and the exhibition at Dudley Museum features several of the cartoons he drew of life at Holzminden.
It was while at the camp that Whale had his first taste of theatre. The prisoners staged plays and Whale became involved in acting, writing, set-designing and directing, and he discovered he had a real flare for the work.
When he was released from Holzminden in December 1918 he went to Birmingham and tried to establish himself as a cartoonist. Meeting with little success he embarked on a career in the theatre, working for actor-manager Nigel Playfair as an actor, set designer and stage manager.
In 1922 Whale met the painter and theatrical costume and stage designer Doris Zinkeisen. The pair were a couple for the next two years and briefly became engaged in 1924, despite Whale being openly homosexual.
In 1928 Whale directed two private performances of R.C. Sherriff's play Journey's End, one of the most acclaimed plays of the 20th century, with Laurence Olivier and Maurice Evans in the lead roles. In January 1929 the production transferred to the West End with Colin Clive replacing Olivier. The production was a great success, running for two years, and in March 1929 Whale directed the play in New York.
This success brought Whale to the attention of the Hollywood film producers, at an important moment in film history, when the talkies were beginning to take off.
Whale's first Hollywood job was in 1929 as "dialogue director" on Paramount Pictures' The Love Doctor. He then directed the dialogue sequences in Howard Hughes' 1930 picture Hell's Angels.
The first movie that Whale directed in his own right was the screen adaptation of Journey's End. Whale then signed a five-year contract with Universal Studios and in 1931 he directed arguably his most famous film, Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff, Colin Clive and Mae Clarke.
Whale followed this massive hit with the drama Impatient Maiden and another horror classic, The Old Dark House.
Whale attempted to move away from the horror genre with his next picture, the suspense drama The Kiss Before the Mirror but it was not commercially successful. His next film was The Invisible Man, starring Claude Rains, and acclaimed for its visual effects. It was a critical success and a box office hit but Whale did not want to become known as a maker of horror pictures so his next endeavours were the romantic comedy By Candlelight and an adaptation of John Galsworthy's One More River.
Whale was persuaded to make a sequel to Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, with Colin Clive and Boris Karloff reprising their roles, and British stars Valerie Hobson as the deranged doctor's fiancée and Elsa Lanchester as the eponymous bride. The film was another commercial and critical success, feted as one of the greatest gothic horrors of all time and arguably Whale's best work.
Whale's next picture was the blackly comic murder mystery Remember Last Night? and this was followed by the musical Show Boat, starring Paul Robeson, Irene Dunne and Allan Jones.
The Road Back, a sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front, was Whale's next film but Universal Studios, under pressure from the German government, made cuts to the film against Whale's wishes before it went on general release. Following this falling out Whale's career declined.
Whale held Universal to their contract but the studio only gave him second string pictures to direct, with the exception of The Man in the Iron Mask, starring Louis Hayward, Joan Bennett and Wolverhampton-born Miles Mander, and Whale effectively retired from Hollywood in 1941. His last pictures were the wartime training film, Personnel Placement in the Army, and the short film Hello Out There, which was never commercially released.
Whale returned to the theatre, producing plays that were free to wartime service personnel and raising money for military charities. He returned to Broadway in 1944 but without great success.
But despite his failing fortunes in film and theatre he was far from destitute. He had made shrewd investments in property and businesses and so was a wealthy man, and lived in comfort in California where he returned to painting as a hobby.
Throughout his career in theatre and film Whale was openly homosexual, in that while not publicising his sexuality he did nothing to conceal it. He had a long-term relationship with the Hollywood producer David Lewis, which ended in 1952, although they afterwards remained close. Whale then took up with a French bartender, Pierre Foegel, whom he brought to America to live with him.
In the spring of 1956 Whale suffered a small stroke, followed by a larger one a few months later which left him hospitalised. His failing health led to depression, for which he received electrotherapy, and an increasing dependence on others as his physical and mental facilities diminished.
On 29th May, 1957, James Whale committed suicide by drowning himself in the swimming pool at his home.
He was cremated and his ashes interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California.
Horror in Hollywood: The James Whale Story runs at Dudley Museum and Art Gallery, St James's Road, Dudley, until 13th January, 2013. The museum is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm and admission is free. For more details call 01384 815575.

November 26, 2015
DENVER (AP) -- A state lawmaker says he'll no longer carry a firearm in the Capitol after he inadvertently left a loaded handgun in a committee room.
The Denver Post reported Wednesday that Republican state Rep. Jared Wright of Fruita left the gun behind in his bag after a Feb. 6 committee debate on concealed handgun permits.
State law prohibits guns in the Capitol "without legal authority." Wright, who was on the Fruita police force in 2007-2011, says that as a peace officer he has a right to be armed in the Capitol.
Wright says after speaking with the State Patrol and Gov. John Hickenlooper's office, he won't carry a gun in the Capitol anymore.
Rep. Jonathan Singer, a Longmont Democrat, says he found the loaded gun after Wright and others left.

Vintage Hunk: Richard Basehart
"Richard Basehart may have been the greatest American actor ever."
Cinema Retro Magazine
Richard Basehart was an amazing actor and a handsome hunk whose talent and charms were evident in the wide range of films he made. Basehart never became a movie superstar but he did find fame on TV with the fondly remembered Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
One of the reasons Richard Basehart never became a huge star was that he played so many different kinds of roles - many of them sinister - that he could not be packaged as a typical leading man. He played a killer in the noir He Walked by Night, a henpecked husband in Tension, Ishmael in John Huston's Moby Dick and The Fool in Federico Fellini's Academy Award masterpiece La Strada. As Films in Review so aptly wrote, "Even today, Richard Basehart remains one of the great, unrecognized talents of post-war American films."
Born in Ohio in 1914, Basehart went to Broadway and finally found fame in the 1945 drama The Hasty Heart playing a dying Scottish soldier. Basehart won the 1945 Drama Critics Award (The Tonys did not start until 1947) and was named the most promising newcomer of the season.
Hollywood came calling and Basehart made his cinematic debut in a tame thriller Repeat Performance. A good role in Cry Wolf with Barbara Stanwyck and Errol Flynn followed. Playing a mentally disturbed husband in this film led to his being cast as the cop killer in the noir classic He Walked by Night. Perhaps Basehart's finest early performance was in the now cult classic The Black Book (also known as Reign of Terror). This study of the French revolution had Basehart playing Robespierre and the whole story was filmed more as an film noir than a routine historical epic. Good parts in Decision Before Dawn and Fourteen Hours followed. Fourteen Hours— the study of a man who threatens to jump off a roof— is now mostly known as Grace Kelly's film debut, but without Basehart this film might not have been as good; however, it was during the making of Fourteen Hours that tragedy struck and Basehart's wife of ten years died from a brain tumor.
The year 1951 would bring a radical change in Basehart's life and career. Co-starring in the noir thriller The House on Telegraph Hill with gorgeous Italian actress Valentina Cortese (above, left) brought a whole new life to the grieving actor. The duo soon fell in love and married, then left Hollywood for Italy where Basehart found some of his best roles, including the masterpiece La Strada. Basehart and Cortese had a son but divorced in 1960. After that, Basehart played various parts, such as the defrocked priest in Titanic, and as Ismael the sailor/narrator in Moby Dick.
Following these great character roles, Basehart became an unexpected TV star with the hit series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Playing the skipper of the submarine Seaview, Basehart would star in the show for 4 years. He continued working after the Seaview made its last voyage, and died in 1984 at the age of 70.
Richard Basehart was a great actor and an extremely handsome man. A "thinking man's hunk" for sure. Probably the most fitting statement about Basehart's career came from one of his own lines in the 1951 thriller Decision Before Dawn:
"A man stays alive as long as he is remembered. He is killed only by forgetfulness."
As long as old movies and TV shows are broadcast, Richard Basehart will not be forgotten.

If we think about all the great things we have in our life, whether it is family, friends, or your home then it is hard to be negative. Even a job to go to each day is a great reason to think life is pretty good. It is hard to concentrate on what I am missing if I think of all I already have.
Whenever I am having a "blah" day, I write down as many things I can think of that I am thankful for. EVERYTHING. The little things and the big things. Like today, I am so thankful for the support and motivation I recieve from my sparkfriends.
I am by myself and my 2 dogs and days go by without another human voice. I could be really depress but I look at all I have and have had and I am thankful. I know God is with me each day and gives me the strength in my mine body to continue on. I am not rich materially but I am in other ways.30
To motivate myself I wrote on a note card "I am proud of my...""I love my...""I am thankful for...""Today I wont...""Today I will..."And I put the notecard by the mirror where I put on my makeup. Everyday I take a few seconds for me to put myself in order and praise myself.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- What started as a hobby keeping bees, and a relief for arthritis soon became Arkansas' first honey plant. For seven decades now, Fischer's Honey has been leading the way in the industry's honey sales.
For the Fischer's, dreams first started at the family home on Main Street in North Little Rock.
Family member Joe Callaway explains, "He wasn't afraid to try anything. He was a real business man."
It's that ambition that Callaway says launched a profitable honey business. Raymond Fischer was at the head of it all.
It was the 1930's and Fischer was struggling with arthritis. The theory was that bee stings would be the cure. So, he started raising bees and then began extracting the honey in the family kitchen.
"From there he moved it out to his garage," says Callaway.
It was during the sugar shortage of War World II that business started booming.
"People couldn't get sugar so they would get honey and that is how he started in Krogers," says Callaway.
Behind the family home is a 20,000 square foot facility. It's the largest and oldest honey processing and packing plant in Arkansas. Demand for processing increased so much that the family stop raising bees. Callaway says, "We do buy a lot of honey from local bee keepers."
The rest of the honey comes from a handful of states across the country and then it's processed at the Arkansas plant. They can fill 48 bottles a minute. Callaway says, "They produce two million pounds of honey a year and distribute that to 14 states across the southeast. They're hoping in the future to expand that distribution even further. It is a lot easier to expand sometimes in the foreign countries than it is here in the United States."
Fischer's Honey exports to South Korea and they're hoping to sign off on a project in Jordan very soon. It's good news but it hasn't come without struggle.
"Honey is not a necessity. It is a luxury item," says Callaway.
There's been a 10 percent drop in business since 2011. Companies and restaurants have cut back on their orders and the bad economy forced layoffs. Still, they're optimistic and grateful for their family's roots. It's that history that Callaway believes keeps them in business. He says, "We have people come in here to buy honey and they will tell us about the days they bought honey from Mr. Fisher when he had bees in his backyard here on Main Street."
Seven decades later, the family's success continues. Fischer's dreams live on. They're dreams, as sweet as honey made in Arkansas.
"We are very fortunate," says Callaway.

Government assistance
Cerebral palsy can be expensive to families, especially those lacking adequate insurance benefits or those in low-income situation. Many programs have been developed within the government, at various levels (federal, state, and local), to assist with such needs. The challenge seems to be in understanding what types of programs are available, where to find more information on the programs, how to apply, when to apply, and what to expect during the process.

Skyline High School to close Thursday over mass shooting threat
September 20, 2012
By Kathleen R. Merrill
NEW — 12:45 a.m. Sept. 20, 2012
Students and parents were panicking late Wednesday and into the early morning hours of Thursday after someone posted on the Internet that Skyline High School would be targeted for a mass shooting.
After conferring with Sammamish Police, school officials decided to close the school.
"This is always one of the hardest situations to deal with. You take it as seriously as you possibly can but with social media, that kind of stuff is easy to put out there," Issaquah School District spokeswoman Sara Niegowski said. "There is no way to say this is not credible, so the absolute safest thing to do is close the campus tomorrow and give police time to track down this individual and make sure that everyone is safe."
The posting from the website 4chan read in part:
"tomorrow i am going to be taking my fathers erma smg (pic related) and i am going to open fire on the people in the commons in the morning until i am either taken down by our schools police officer or until i run out of mags. i have a separate mag with a few bullets in it that i will use to take my life if i can make it up to that point. the people at that school use their wealth and social status to act superior to others and they think it makes them better. the biggest of that would definitely be the jocks. i am going to start killing them first because they deserve it the most, and they are in the middle of the commons so it would be an ideal place to start. anyways, i just thought I'd share my story before i head to bed tonight. cant say the fact that im leaving this world tomorrow saddens me at all because ill be doing it with a good cause. these kids dont deserve the lives they have been given, and tomorrow ill make sure that they wont ever abuse them again."
The post also had a photo of what appeared to be a machine gun-type weapon.
"I was on Facebook and I saw the post, and then I called a friend and asked if he saw it," a 16-year-old Skyline junior who lives in the Klahanie area said in a phone interview. (The Issaquah Press is not naming her out of concern for her safety.) "It kind of blew up on Facebook in like two or three minutes and there were like hundreds of comments.
"At first it was just like, 'Oh, is this one of those scams?' Then it just started erupting on Facebook and it was like, 'This is really real."
"You're on the plateau and you think something like this couldn't really happen to you, but it could," she added. "Now it's not just some Virginia Tech story. It could happen anywhere."
"I'm honestly so freaked out," a Skyline senior said.
About an hour after the posting first appeared (it was taken down quickly but many students had saved it in a screen shot), school officials sent out an email blast and made mass calls to parents to tell them school had been cancelled in the interest of safety.
The email read:
"Dear Skyline students and staff:
Apologies for the late notification, but we've had an emergency situation arise. Police have received a report of a threat against Skyline students reported to take place tomorrow and they are investigating. Working closely with them, we've decided to act out of an abundance of caution and close school tomorrow 9/20/12. Please do not have any staff, students or community members come to Skyline campus. We will have more information for you tomorrow or as it's available. Again, apologies for the late notification but student and staff safety is our top concern."
Sammamish Police are investigating the incident.

This was reported to the school and local police by 4chan white knights, not students. Even the ***hole of the internet has some ethics.

Actually, "anonymous", it WAS reported by people outside of 4chan, including students and parents, once the post was shared on Facebook and Twitter. I'm not certain why it matters who did or didn't call the police, anyway. I'm just glad that so many people took the time to report it.
I hope they can find out the identity of the person who made the threatening post. He or she seems to be in a very dark, painful place emotionally, and I hope the kid gets the professional help he or she needs in order to get to a much healthier state of mind.
I also hope this will serve as a wake-up call to schools. Bullying MUST be taken seriously, there MUST be a procedure for consequences when bullying is reported, and ALL kids need to know that "telling an adult" will actually result in actions to help make the bullying stop. There needs to be sensitivity training for all educators and other adults who have contact with students to ensure that they make bullying victims feel heard and stop saying/doing things that minimize the victims' concerns.
I can't speak for other parents, but unless the person who posted the threat is identified, I don't know that I can send my kids to school with knowledge that they'll be attending with a ticking time bomb.

He was a fake. He got the picture off ebay. Probably wanted a day off.

I agree with TonyaR. I believe the school district did the right thing in closing Skyline for the day and also operating under heightened security procedures at the other schools in the area. I also think they should keep Skyline closed tomorrow if they haven't identified the poster, giving authorities more time to track down the IP address of whomever made the original post. Sure, it could end up being a local Starbuck's, but better safe than sorry. We can make up 2 days of school. We can't get back lost lives.
To "anon" – If it was a fake, the person posting needs to know some things just aren't funny. This is one of them.

Heres the scary thing. Anon was bullied by Jock. Kids wont take things serious until something like this happens…and even then there is the 'that will never happen here (in my school/town)' mentality. People in todays society are soo thick skulled they dont care about stories of kids killing themselves by being bullied, and idk if a story of 'the bully-ee killing the bully would evem hit close enough to home for them scary enough.

I think that the majority of the kids in the Issaquah, parts of Bellevue and Redmond Schools need to be brought down quite a few notches. My kids are picked on because we are not rich and though I work hard to keep them in nice clothes and do what I can there is always some little rich f**k with snotty parents (usually the mom with her nose stuck in the air). All that happens when these situations arise is that the snotty kids tell more kids so there are then more than one picking on the kid, this is the truth of the matter. And unfortunately the area that high school is in is snob central all schools in a 25 mile radius of that school should just be called snob high or if your not rich f you. I went to school here and ended up dropping out because I couldn't stand it. Klanhanie is just another addition to snobville and its disgusting. This kid needs help maybe he did this to make the kids that are mean think; unfortunately those kids have their noses so far up in the sky they are not even aware of what it going on down below and most of the time the behavior is learned by some stuck up b**ch for a mom.
This whole area has gone from bad to worse when it comes to those that are less fortunate or those that are shy or quiet.
The kids that are picking on other kids usually have parents that know the teachers or school staff and they end up getting away with it.
To anyone who looks down on others because of financial status or social status go f yourself !!!!!!!

"ALL kids need to know that "telling an adult" will actually result in actions to help make the bullying stop."
BWAHAHAHAHA! Yea, right.
I can tell you from experience that as far as school administrators care the person complaining to them IS the problem. When I complained about some wrapping his hands around my throat and lifting me off the ground the principal asked "What did you do to antagonize him?" and put ME under the microscope while the jerk who did it was free to torment whoever he wanted – myself included.
20 years later nothing has changed. Asking for help just sets the administration against the kid, and they get bullied more for trying.

I have just moved here from the east coast. I'd love to say these issues are new to me…but unfortunately they are everywhere you go. It doesn't matter where you come from or what your background is, social class/status has always been a dividing issue among human beings since the beginning of time. The thing is, we ALL have to be honest with ourselves….look in the mirror….how are WE treating others? Parents, WE set the example for our kids! They pick up on and adopt our attiitudes and behaviour most of the time. What are WE teaching them? Everyone must take responsibility for our own actions and attitudes that we exhibit to others every day. The thing is, it's not right to say that its all people who live on the plateau just like its not right to say all kids that don't live in a certain area would put out an email like this threat. But we ALL must take things more seriously and take responsibility for our actions! It all stems from a love of SELF instead of a love for OTHERS . True love is love that sees beyond any kind of social class or status, to the heart and soul of each individual just as Jesus Christ did in the Bible. Until that kind of love is adopted and we all strive for that kind of love and let it change us, these kind of problems and issues will always be present no matter where we go or live.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College and Middlebury town officials have abandoned preliminary plans announced this spring to build a community biomass-fired power plant that would have powered college and town facilities. But representatives from the town and the college are gearing up instead to explore a new collaboration for a "biomass purchasing cooperative" and community renewable energy fund.
ADDISON — At the entrance to the DeVries family's Dairydale Farm in Addison, there's a sign up announcing to passersby that this tidy spread is a Vermont "Dairy of Distinction."
The sign may still be there, but the farm's 150 cows are gone.
Sam and Dave DeVries, brothers and partners in the Dairydale operation, milked their herd one last time on an afternoon in mid-June, and then ambled outside among the large crowd to watch their livelihood go up for auction.
RIPTON — Selectmen here have picked Ripton General Store co-owner Richard Collitt to fill a vacancy on the selectboard until municipal elections take place next March.
Ripton Town Clerk Sally Hoyler confirmed the board recently picked Collitt from a list of four local residents who had declared interest in serving the balance of a term being vacated by longtime incumbent Selectman William Ford.
Collitt, who was unavailable for comment as the Addison Independent went to press on Friday, officially joined the board on Sept. 1 and will attend his first meeting on Monday, Sept. 14.
The pertinent facts about the status of health care in this country should have been ample evidence to persuade Congress and the American people that 'kicking the can down the road' for another few years is not befitting, as President Barack Obama told the nation in a joint speech to Congress last Thursday, of our national character.
It is in the American character, the president reminded us all, to address the tough issues and to rally around those in need.
When it comes to where we live and what we consume, Vermonters never run out of declarations to color the state's portrait: green, organic, natural, fair-trade, local.
But when Morgan Wolaver, owner and president of Otter Creek Brewing and the man behind the one of the first organic ales in the country, stepped into a bar more than a decade ago, he was surprised to see the word "organic" on a beer label. At that point, organic milk, eggs, fruit and veggies were standard, but organic beer was still an oxymoron.
There! Did that title grab your attention? I love running in September – the days are cooler, the skies are sunnier, and I am starting to reap the benefits of running through the hot, sticky days of midsummer. It is a great time to take on some longer runs, and with that in mind, I will be describing a 9+ mile run which very few people other than me know about. If you look to the east of Middlebury at the first ridge of the Green Mts. – thats where this one goes!
MIDDLEBURY — Citing reduced orders for its bristle products and growing competition, Monahan Filaments executives confirmed on Wednesday they will close the company's Middlebury plant on Nov. 15, thereby ending employment for 69 full-time workers.
"We don't have the business to support the facility," said Brian Crawford, vice president and general manager of Monahan Filaments, which in 2007 bought the former Specialty Filaments business out of U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
The Trail Around Middlebury (TAM), a 16-mile loop of paths that circle the village, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month.

Success Stories
My life changed for better or for worse on November 17, 1998. Most people remember specific dates like weddings, anniversaries or birthdays. My special day will always be the day of my surgery. The reason I say for better or for worse is because for each person this type of surgery brings different results, both good and bad. I can tell you I am now, as I'm writing this, 215 pounds lighter than I was before that day. I am healthier, stronger, and more confident in my abilities to do anything I want. The confidence does not come from simply being thinner as I'm sure you might think. It comes from recovering from the most difficult thing I've ever done.
Gastric by-pass, stomach stapling in layman's terms, is not to be considered lightly. I can honestly tell you I've experienced more physical pain than I ever wish to again. I've been more nauseous and sicker than ever before. And I've had to deal with emotional issues I never expected. But I can also tell you that some wonderful things have happened since the surgery. I can walk, run, bike, dance, and just go through a day without the physical and emotional struggle of dragging 215 extra pounds with me. My critical medical conditions such as high blood pressure, chronic back and knee pain, sleep apnea, and pseudo-tumor cerebral, have all been erased. And people actually smile at me instead of looking away, trying to pretend I'm not there. It's amazing to me that now that there is "visually" less of me, there is now "conceptually" more of me. I am more here than ever before, both for others and for myself. I'm not sure I can explain that in more detail and have it become any clearer. It may be one of those things that need to be experienced to be fully understood.

|Seven keys for successful tactical leadership
Submitted by:
Sgt. Glenn French, PoliceOne Columnist
A leader should have the vision to see beyond the current dilemmas they are faced with, and the strength of character to stay the course as they command in the face of adverse conditions. Remember these principles to command by and enjoy your unit's success:
1. Empower subordinates to be creative
Tactical leaders should work hard in the eyes of their officers. Gen. Colin Powell put it this way, "If you want them to work hard and endure hardship, you must work even harder and endure even greater hardship. They must see you sacrifice for them."
Editor's Note: Look for Glenn French's upcoming article on tactical leadership, which will run in our Special Thanksgiving Weekend Edition of the PoliceOne Newsletter. Read his past articles here.
Glenn French, a retired Sergeant with the Sterling Heights (Mich.) Police Department, has 24 years police experience and served as the Team Commander for the Special Response Team, and supervisor of the Sterling Heights Police Department Training Bureau. He has 16 years SWAT experience and also served as a Sniper Team Leader, REACT Team Leader, and Explosive Breacher.
He is the author of the award-winning book Police Tactical Life Saver, which has been named the 2012 Public Safety Writers Association Technical Manual of the year. Glenn is also the owner of Rubicon Tactical Strategies and can be reached at www.rubicontacticalstrategies.com.
Glenn has instructed basic and advanced SWAT / Tactical officer courses, basic and advanced Sniper courses, Cold Weather / Winter Sniper Operations and Active Shooter Response courses, Terrorist Response course, Tactical Lifesaver Course and others.
