|ESL department continues to evolve to meet student needs
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Many families have made their way to Holyoke from Mexico for a variety of reasons. Upon arrival, many face similar obstacles as language barriers often amplify the culture shock they experience. Time and time again schools have played a helping role as these families adjust to their new setting.
Holyoke has a strong population of people who do not speak English as their primary language. Roughly 20 percent of the population throughout Holyoke and in Re-1J School District speak primarily Spanish.
While English as a second language (ESL) services are now available at Re-1J schools to those who make the move to Holyoke, in the past, immigrants faced the challenges of joining a classroom without much structured help.
Olga Sullivan's family first arrived in Holyoke in 1975. As the oldest of five daughters, she was the first one to enter into schooling in Holyoke. She was in sixth grade back home in Gómez Farías, Chihuahua in Mexico, but was placed in the fourth grade as she spoke no English.
"As far back as I remember, I was the first non-English speaking student in Holyoke," Sullivan said.
She looks back at her first two years in Holyoke with fondness, but acknowledged the challenging aspect of trying to communicate with a classroom full of people who she could not understand and could not understand her. With no ESL program at the time, the bulk of Sullivan's learning of English came from simply being fully immersed in her classroom.
"Because of who I am, I think I like the way I did it because it forced me to learn faster and at a higher rate because I wanted to be part of the class," Sullivan explained.
She says she was lucky that her teacher and her classmates went out of their way to help the new student settle in. Sullivan recalls teachers using labels to help her learn the English words for several of the items in the class such as desk and clock.
"I went home seeing stickers when I closed my eyes," Sullivan joked. "I dreamed of stickers for a long time. I would close my eyes and see stickers everywhere."
Another driving force in her quick adaptation to the new country came from the cultural exchange with students. Other kids often tried to teach her English and she would repeat after them, not really knowing what she was saying.
Sullivan still laughs when thinking about how badly the other kids wanted her to teach them curse words in Spanish. Because she didn't like cussing, she taught them words like chair, then got a kick out of watching them as they thought they were cursing.
Sullivan says that by sixth grade she was able to speak the language completely. As she grew older, being bilingual often had people seeking her help. She began translating at an early age for her family and her services were soon picked up by others around the community.
When Sullivan was 10 she was helping out at the hospital during child deliveries as a translator. She remembers getting phone calls in the early hours of the morning by police officers to help her translate. She would sometimes be asked to help translate with new families entering into school.
Once she had kids of her own, she again lent a helping hand as she volunteered in the kindergarten classroom because so many kids could not speak English.

Yesenia Bencomo, the ESL teacher at Holyoke Elementary School, had a similar experience as Sullivan more than a decade later. Her family first arrived in Holyoke in the late 1980s from El Terrero, Chihuahua.
"People laugh at me when I say this, but I don't know how I learned English," Bencomo said.
Bencomo also faced a new class with a sink or swim type of approach to learning the new language. She too still feels gracious for the lengths teachers and students were willing to go to help her feel welcomed, despite no ESL program in place.
Within a year Bencomo says she was performing at third-grade level and higher.
She recalls the experience being an easy, fun time and doesn't recall anytime where she really felt like she was struggling.
It was almost a decade later before an ESL program began in Holyoke.
During the 1997-98 school year, a part-time ESL teacher was hired by the district. During the 2000-01 school year the elementary school hired the first full-time ESL teacher and added an aide the following year.
The JR/SR high school hired their first full-time ESL teacher in 2005 and added an aide in 2009.
Bencomo has been able to draw from her past to help today's students who are going through the same plight.
Newcomers are worked with extensively for approximately six weeks. These students learn what Bencomo refers to as "survivor's English," which includes some simple key phrases.
They may also be accompanied to class by an aide until they feel more comfortable.
ESL students generally receive about an hour of language specific help each day and spend the rest of the time in their regular classroom to help them ease into the system.
Aside from the academic help Bencomo is able to provide, she also stressed the importance of having Spanish-speaking teachers on hand for non-English speaking students to be able to approach when feeling overwhelmed or struggling.
"Language barriers will shut down these kids," Bencomo explained. "My goal is to always build relationships with newcomers no matter what level of English they are coming in with."
In the eight years since she began as the ESL teacher at the elementary school, Bencomo has noticed a few changes taking place in the ESL department in Holyoke.
The biggest change has been in the numbers. When she first started there were only about 40 ESL students at the elementary level. This year there are 74 students at the grade school and 125 total in Re-1J.
"I think our teachers at the elementary do an amazing job of making sure that things are modified for our kids, making sure that they are meeting their language needs," Bencomo explained.
Over the past three years school staff members have taken part in professional development exercises to better understand how to approach ESL students in the classroom. This is necessary to help ESL students along because there is only one ESL teacher and two ESL aides at the elementary school and one teacher and one aide at HHS.
Students still play a role in the progress new students make. Bencomo believes that although they are less responsible for the learning of a new language, they help foreign students socially.

And they saw Him
By Pastor Larry BoothCongregational Church, Grant
How shall we understand Easter and the Resurrection? First, there is the first story: Jesus died on a cross of crucifixion on a Friday afternoon. The time was set because it was the week of the Jewish Passover, the major religious and cultural holiday of the Jews. And it was held in their capital city, Jerusalem, reportedly one of the most beautiful of all Mediterranean cities of the time. Thousands of people of all nationalities crowded the city for the festivities. Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, Idumaea and Samaria, led his legions from Caesarea by the Sea to Jerusalem, partly to join the holiday, but mostly to keep the peace. Part of their peace-keeping work included the crucifixion of three condemned Jews on Friday, the day before the Passover Sabbath. It was important to the Jews that the execution be finished before sundown, when the Jewish Sabbath day began. One of the three was Jesus, of Nazareth. He was buried late that afternoon, a stone rolled in place to seal the tomb. After the 24 hours of Sabbath, on the first day of the week, a friend, Mary of Magdala, came to finish burial procedures and found the tomb open and empty, except for the burial cloths his body had been wrapped in that Friday afternoon, which were still laying where his body had lain. She ran to tell other friends and companions. They came, and they were all puzzled, wondering what had happened–and wondering what to do. They went home. Next, there begins the second story. Mary seemed not satisfied with just going home. She returns to the empty tomb, but finds herself not alone. A man is there who, from a distance, seems to belong there–a caretaker, perhaps. Coming near, eyes diverted as was appropriate, she speaks, "Please, Sir, if you could help me." He replies, but it is no stranger's voice, and no strange reply– "Mary." And her head is jerked around. "Rabbi!" she exclaims in their native Aramaic tongue. She starts toward him, but he says, "Go tell the others. And tell them to meet me in Galilee." And then the third story. Mary flies off to find the disciples. Does she just leave Jesus standing there? Apparently so, as she quickly obeys. And finding them, proclaims, "I have seen the Lord!" The rest of the story is that, as promised, they met him in Galilee–the Risen Lord, as they had never understood. Never, from all he had taught and shared. Never caught on, from all he had touched and healed, rescued, fed, gave sight, taught to stand again–never. Until meeting him there, as Mary said they would, they found themselves repeating Mary's words to one another with amazement, "I have seen the Lord!" This Easter Sunday, this one coming, in congregations and gatherings celebrating again and again the Resurrection, you may not have to listen hard to hear: "I have seen the Lord!" From that Galilee to every Galilee since, the Mary Proclamation is heard: "I have seen the Lord!" And to hear replied, "And I, too. Praise the Lord!"

Goodguys Southeastern Nationals - Rods And Customs In Nascar CountryWritten by on February 10, 2008 Back In Charlotte For The Goodguys Southeastern Nationals
If you've ever been to a famous landmark or met a celebrity--or seen a well-known historic hot rod or race car--you might know how unreal it can be to see a person or place or car that you've only previously seen on television or in photos. There was a little bit of that feeling at the Goodguys 14th Southeastern Nationals, held at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, the capital city of NASCAR country. Walking through the rows of hot rods, customs, musclecars, street machines, and classic trucks was a familiar enough experience. But looking upward at the banked oval, expansive grandstand, and multi-story suites of the historic superspeedway was a bit of sensory overload. Let's just say it's more impressive in person.
Goodguys made the most of the facility by letting participants drive their cars on the track on Saturday evening. Even at a fraction of the speeds the track is used to, a couple of mile-and-a-half counterclockwise runs is a kick in the pants. Goodguys also set up an autocross driving event for folks who actually wanted to compete in something besides the show `n' shine.
Of course the real action was down on the infield, where an estimated 3,000 cars were lined up for another three-day weekend of good times, Goodguys style .We kept plenty busy that weekend, hiking the rows of rods and customs, photographing as as we could, and selecting 10 of them for the R&C Top Tin corral held on Sunday.
If you've read our show coverage in the past, you know we tend to notice (or imagine) different trends within the hobby in different parts of the country. Here's what we saw in Charlotte: a very high number of '32 Fords in addition to a high number of black cars. It would have been easy to choose 10 excellent black Deuces as our Top Tin winners. We might just do that next year, but this time we decided to find a mix of makes, styles, and model years. Our picks are subjective, but we hope you'll agree with most of them. Of course, what we really want is to get you out to the show so you can see these cars up close. Let's just say they're more impressive in person.

There aren't many in the whole world, and there was only one in Charlotte. This '52 Nash custom convertible Landau, built and owned by Don and Melissa Fitzgerald, is customized with a 330hp GM Performance crate 350, tube chassis, leather interior, '95 Monte Carlo Seats, and a Mercedes cloth cable-driven top- and had a crowd around it all weekend.Don Conley originally built this '27 T pickup in 1959. It was featured in Hot Rod in 1961. Gary Moore found it in 2002 and rebuilt it to close to it's original shape. It now runs a '49 Olds 303 with an Edmunds intake and dual Rochesters, including a '49 Olds 303, similar to Don's engine. It rides on a '37 Ford pickup frame, and the fenders are from a Model A and the fuel tank is a B-52 de-icing tank. Best of all, Gary has been in contact with Don to keep him involved with his historic hot rod.There aren't too many in the whole world, and there was only one in Charlotte. This '52 Nash custom convertible Landau, built and owned by Don and Melissa Fitzgerald, is customized with a 330hp GM Performance crate 350, tube chassis, leather interior, '95 Monte Carlo Seats, and a Mercedes cloth cable-driven top-and had a crowd around it all weekend.One of many beautiful black '32s we saw was Gene Shreffler's five-window driver. The 302 has 351 heads, and a Holman Moody intake and dress-up stuff. The coupe is full of excellent details, including some custom-fabricated motor mounts and a bunch of old water-transfer drag race decals that Gene found on e-Bay.We kept coming back to this '50 Ford ragtop taildragger. Ron Bales had a '50 as a high school kid in 1956, but no money to build it up. Now he's doing it with this one, customized with '54 Buick trim, a '54 Pontiac grille center, '54 Chevy parking lights, and some baby Appletons. It runs a 0.030-over LT1 and rides on front and rear Air Ride bags.
Genuine hot rodder Ed Ratliff built this '32 Ford from parts he'd been collecting for years. The tub was a Tudor sedan before the top was removed for use on another car. A pair of 409 heads disguise the '58 348 engine. The interior is filled with steel panels and a handmade dash, plus bass boat seats shot with Mar-Hyde. Pie-crust Firestones roll on '35 Ford wire rims.At it's firsts show ever, Bart Goodson's just-finished '50 Chevy won a Meguiars Magnificent Masterpiece Award and an R&C Top Tin. The low-key-looking pickup has a 502 crate engine under the hood, cooled by a NASCAR-style crossflow radiator. There's a Fat Man front end and a Corvette C5 rear, plus a knockout Paul Atkins interior in the cab.Nobody has more fun in a hot rod than Butch Fairchild, who drives this '31 A sedan all over. The project started as a swapmeet Deuce grille shell. The suspension includes Sprint Car style front torsion bars, and the engine is a Chevy small-block backed by a four-speed. Butch was boasting about his 14.32 second/98mph quarter-mile pass at the Blue Suede Cruise, with a passenger riding shotgun.
Willard Robertson is just getting started putting miles on his '37 Lincoln Zephyr, which has covered more that 43,000 so far, including the road trip to Charlotte. There is a blown 5.4L Ford SOHC motor under the hood and a Fatman front suspension, Air Ride shocks, and a triangulated four-link underneath. Willard performed the bodywork and shot the champagne metallic paint.We love old survivors like Jim and Vicky Cliborne's '49 Merc. Jim has owned his candy green custom since high school in the mid '60s, which is when he did most of the body mods. The 389 it ran then has been replaced by a 455 with six 2s. Rear Air Ride parts and dropped Fatman spindles help drop the sled.Goodguys was looking for a "Kustom of the Year" finalist in Charlotte; their pick was John St. Germain's amazing '36 Ford roadster, built in the Westergard style but with a lot of personal touches. The Packard grille is flanked with '35 Olds side trim. The powerplant is a 296 flathead with a 4-speed.John Bauer did a great job on this full-fendered Deuce coupe, dressed up with beautiful paint, some tasty 'striping, and the right rolling stock. John's wife, Bonita, did the tuck 'n' roll interior work.It didn't have a hemi when it was originally built in 1956, but the 241 with a high-rise intake and three deuces looks right at home in this channeled '29 roadster, owned by C.S. Bagshaw.Here's another sweet survivor. Harvey Bagshaw chopped the top on this '32 sedan when he first bought it 30 years ago. Five years later the interior was redone, which now includes '64 Mustang seats. The '55 small-block is running four Strombergs. Harvey's been working on it recently and got it running the night before the show.Stay tuned for a full feature on Will Hudson's '50 Ford, built at Hudson Rod & Custom. The 351W-powered sedan was built with a full bellypan, subtle exterior trim pieces, and numerous custom touches in the interior. This was it's first outing, and Goodguys jumped on it for a Fab 5 award.
Here's another nice black Deuce. This coupe is owned by Ronnie Staples. We liked the red accents on the grille, steelies, interior upholstery, front axle, on the flathead, and on the motorcycle tank mounted in front behind a custom nerf bar.Hats off to Jack Mills for this super sanitary '49 Ford woodie, packed with a 5.0L Mustang engine. Shaved panels, dog dish caps, a perfect stance, and absolutely no extemporaneous accessories keep it clean and cool. Mmm mmm.Our sister magazine, Classic Trucks, gave a Finest 5 award to Tony Stacey's '66 Ford F-100 pickup, finished on the outside with great-looking two-tone paint and on the inside with leather early Thunderbird seats.With diamond plate on the door panels, floor, and bed of this '28 Model A roadster pickup, only the owners, Rudy and Dawn Zierden, get soaked when it starts raining. You can see the small-block up front, and the autographs from George Barris, Gene Winfield, Pete Chapouris, Jim Jacobs, and others, on the dash.We keep telling you-tall Ts are making a comeback as trends move into the '60s and '70s and T roadster kits are abundant. Darryl Bobzin is already there with his '23. Note the huge Mickey Thompsons, the big stacks and manifold on the 350, and all that chrome.Bobby Hobbs kept a good balance between tech and tradition with this 502-powered '57 Bel Air. The Recovery Room did the cream colored contemporary interior. Billet Specialites wheels, a nice exterior color, shaved panels, and an Air Ride-provided stance work together well. The '57 was a Goodguys Rep Pick.Charles Libby pulled a page out of history with this '28 Model A tracknose roadster. From the paint to the dropped I-beam axle to the quick-change rearend, from the cloth-covered buckets to the drilled split 'bones, it's great. The extended nose covers the straight-six engine.
Wayne Hawk pulled this '28 sedan out of a barn and dropped it on a Brookville chassis during the three-week build-up. He's had it to Louisville and the L.A. Roadster Show. But it's the old bike hanging off the back that got our attention.

Badminton Pushed By ELAC, But Triumph, 13-8
Host East Los Angeles College challenged the four-time defending South Coast Conference champion Pasadena City College women's badminton team Friday, but the Lancers prevailed, 13-8. It was PCC's 37th consecutive conference victory.
While PCC holds a 16-match win streak over the Huskies, its SCC rival has three times lost by a 1-point margin to the Lancers and played another close one here.
Pasadena's No. 1 player Angie Ortiz put together a polished effort as she recorded singles wins over ELAC's No. 1 Cherry Lai, 21-10, 21-10, and No. 2 Shirley Su, 21-5, 21-5. In No. 1 doubles with fellow sophomore Grace Espinoza, she helped win two more matches in defeating the Huskies' No. 1 pair of Lai and Yuki Tai, 22-20, 21-15, and downing Su and Suki Kwan, 21-8, 21-7.
The Lancers' No. 3 freshman player Shaghig Avedisian and No. 5 sophomore Alyssa Boyt also picked up two singles victories each. Boyt had an epic win over ELAC No. 5 Chuyan Lao, rallying after losing the first set, 29-31, to win in three, taking the last two sets, 21-13, 21-12. PCC's No. 4 freshman Alejandra Palacios scored a key victory in three sets over Kwan, 16-21, 21-16, 21-11.
"Those are the matches you have to win to keep a streak going," PCC head coach Bill Sanchez said. "We lost two doubles and that meant singles became our go-to area for points. We went 8-4 in singles and if those three-set matches go another way, we could have been in trouble. Our sophomores have been showing the freshmen what they have to do in order to stay consistent. We are working hard for our points. The other teams aren't going to hand us matches."
On Wednesday, March 20, PCC (2-2 overall, 2-0 in conference) will play its first home match of the 2013 season when it faces El Camino College-Compton Center in a 3 p.m. contest at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - "God has been very good to me," said Alyce Dixon. "He left me with a few marbles."
More than a few many would say. Spunky, feisty and sharp as a tack. Alyce Dixon shows no signs of slowing down on her 105th birthday.
Miss Dixon is the oldest resident at the V.A. medical center in Northwest DC. The staff threw her a celebration- a big party for a woman with an even bigger sense of humor. She loves telling jokes, especially dirty ones and she shared quite a few with us.
At 31, Miss Dixon entered the U.S. Army as one of the first African American women, something she never really thought much about.
"I thought I was good, like everybody else says anything to me, I said to hell with you," said Dixon.=
Stationed in both England and France, Dixon served in World War II and worked for the Army newspaper. She joined the Army after she was diagnosed with Vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of pigment.
"I though the Army had all the answers," said Dixon. "I said I will join the Army and let them move those spots. I went to a dermatologist, and he said, you don't have to move them, you're going to be white. I said, you mean they got me mixed up? (laughter)."
To keep her mind sharp, Dixon reads The Washington Post every morning.
"Gotta find out what's going on," Dixon said. "(You) can't be stupid."
She puts on her makeup every day, likes her jewelry and still enjoys getting her nails done. She's in good health, but she did lose her leg several years ago to an infection.
Miss Dixon has lived a full life. She shared with us why she believes she has been so blessed for so long.
"Help everybody" she said. "You can't take it with you, so share it and you live a long time. That's why God let me live. I shared everything."
Miss Dixon spent about 30 years working at the Pentagon as a purchasing specialist. She is one of nine children and she has one surviving sister. She says most of her siblings lived well into their 90s.
Her one last dream before dying is to take a trip to South Africa.

Video: First full day of testimony in Chris Coleman trial
Video: Expert: Coleman family dead before Chris went to gym
Video: Chris Coleman murder trial update
Waterloo, IL (KSDK) - A famous forensic pathologist who has conducted more than 20,000 autopsies said Sheri Coleman and her two sons, Garrett and Gavin, were killed before Christopher Coleman left for the gym the day of the murders.
Dr. Michael Baden, the host of HBO's Autopsy, said he was asked by the Major Case Squad to determine the time of deaths in May 2009.
Dr. Baden testified, that based on numerous photos that showed rigor mortis and discoloration of the bodies, the victims died around 3:00 a.m.
He said the victims certainly died before 5:00 a.m. and "it wasn't a close call" to determine if they died before Chris Coleman said he went to the gym at 5:43 a.m.
Coleman told investigators his family was alive when he went to the gym on May 5.
Dr. Baden also is a forensic science contributor for FOX News and a former New York City Chief Medical Examiner.
A forensic pathologist who testified on Monday and conducted the initial autopsy said she didn't feel she could make an accurate time of death. When she was pushed on the stand, she said they died sometime between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
The defense pushed the point that the doctors disagreed on their findings and that Dr. Baden said he doesn't find any fault with the inital forensic pathologist's findings.
Dr. Baden told the defense he thought he was more qualified because he has been to more than 1,000 crime scenes while working in New York. He said the other doctor does not go to the crime scenes because that is how Illinois' system is set up.
Dr. Baden said they both agreed the murders happened before 5:00 a.m.
The defense pointed out that Dr. Baden testifies for the prosecution 90 percent of time. But Baden said he has testified for defense in cases. He testified for the defense in the OJ Simpson murder case. He said "science is science" no matter what side he's testifying for.
The defense also tried to make the point that all methods used to make time of death have a degree of error. Dr. Baden agreed. The defense asked him if rigor mortis could set in right after death, if there was a struggle during death?
Dr. Baden said there are cases when someone's hand is clenched when they were trying to hold onto or grab something. He said it was rare.
It was revealed during testimony that Sheri had two black eyes. Dr. Baden said it was not from strangulation, but direct trauma.
Also, a black hair was found in the bend of Gavin's elbow. Dr Baden said other tests showed it was Sheri's and it's his opinion it likely came off the same cord that was used to strangle Sheri and then Gavin.
A Columbia, Illinois police detective also expected to testified on Tuesday afternoon. Investigators said Coleman called the detective, who was his next door neighbor, to tell him to check on his family because he could not get a hold of them on May 5.
Jurors watched a tape of Coleman being questioned by the Columbia police detective. Detective Justin Barlow asked Coleman if he and his wife Sheri had fought the night before the murders, and Coleman said, "she fell asleep in my arms on the couch..." and then started to cry as he said, "If only I'd been there," talking about the morning of the murders.
Barlow, now with the U.S. Marshals, testified that he and Coleman became acquainted when Coleman reported to police that his family was receiving threatening letters and emails because of his job with televangelist Joyce Meyer. Coleman worked as Meyer's personal bodyguard.
Trying to gather any potential evidence about how could be leaving the alleged threats, Barlow set up a surveillance camera in his son's bedroom window -- pointed at Coleman's mailbox and driveway.
The camera was recording when Coleman left his home the morning of the murders. The tape shows him driving forward out of his driveway at 5:43 a.m.
In the taped interview, Coleman told investigators he remembered slowing as he backed out of the driveway to wait for a dark colored car to pass that he didn't recognize. No car was seen on the tape shown to the jury.
Coleman's parents were inside the courthouse Tuesday, again showing support for their son, but they had to leave the courtroom when the taped interrogation showed Coleman alone, and sobbing in a room of the Columbia police department.
The jury is made up of 10 women and two men. They were selected in Pinckneyville, Illinois and are being bussed 50 minutes each way for the trial.
NewsChannel 5's Ryan Dean and Casey Nolen are at the trial and are tweeting updates about the case @ksdknews.

JDRF and Novo Nordisk established a collaboration focused on the discovery and development of immunotherapies for the prevention and treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The partnership will operate out of Novo Nordisk's newly opened Type 1 Diabetes R&D Center in Seattle, where immunotherpy researchers are working in collaboration with scientists at the firm's R&D facilities in Princeton and Denmark.
The new center aims to leverage the combined expertise to move early-stage discovery projects through evaluation in animal models into small-scale exploratory human trials. The Novo Nordisk-JDRF partnership will build on research originating from academia, industry, and Novo Nordisk's internal R&D.
"It is no coincidence that we are opening our new Type 1 Diabetes Research and Development Center in Seattle at the same time that we announce a scientific partnership between our company and the JDRF," comments Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen, evp and CSO at Novo Nordisk. "Our new R&D Center is founded on the principle of reaching out to academia, biotechnology companies, and other key players in the international immunotherapy research community in order to join forces to develop the next treatment advance in the management of type 1 diabetes."
Novo Nordisk reported diabetes product sales of DKK 50,425 million in 2011, up 10.3% from the year before. Sales of the type 2 diabetes drug Victoza® (liraglutide [rDNA origin] injection) were up 158.6%, at DKK 5,991 million, while sales of modern insulins now account for 72% of annual insulin sales.

Tales of an eager garbage picker (condoms excepted)
(Page 2 of 3)
The Saturday cleanup that I attended, dubbed Op-SPLASH 23, began at 9 a.m. at a boat launch on Freeport's famed Nautical Mile, a.k.a. Woodcleft Avenue, which is populated by trendy seafood eateries, bait-and-tackle shops and boat dealers. Many, if not most, of the local businesses were devastated by Hurricane Sandy, when a 10-foot tidal surge swept through Jones Inlet, over the wetlands and straight for Freeport. The Nautical Mile, being among the southernmost points in the village, took a crushing blow.
The students in my Issues in Science Reporting class at Hofstra, who are studying and reporting on the South Shore wetlands, joined me at the cleanup. After a breakfast of bagels and coffee, we met up with a group of SPLASH volunteers and headed in a small boat south down the Woodcleft Avenue canal and then east, toward Merrick. The temperature hovered in the mid-30s and cold sea spray splattered over our vessel as it cruised across the water.
We were dropped off on Swan Island, a long, narrow mudflat with a rocky beach and a field of Spartina grass, which is bright green in summer but brown at this time of year. Much of the island was oozing mud. The sandy shoreline, though, offered a safe venue for eager garbage pickers.
I spent the morning chatting with volunteers as we cleared the area of debris. There was 85-year-old Charlie Fisene, a lifelong South Shore resident with a wide smile and a biting sense of humor. He spoke about the two handguns he discovered during a cleanup last year. There was also Joann Bo, who has brought her three children to SPLASH cleanups for the past decade. Her middle child, Heather, 15, a sophomore at Kennedy High School in Bellmore, joined her on this one. And there were James Miller and his wife, Donna Shulman, kayakers from Hewlett who had long seen the trash from their boats and wanted to help get rid of it.
In the 1800s, Royte notes in "Garbage Land," New York City did not offer municipal garbage collection. Wealthier residents had the money to have their trash carted off to who knew where. The poor threw their trash –– mostly food scraps –– on the street, where wild pigs (there were once thousands of them roaming the city) scarfed it up.

I know this may sound crazy, but I was struck by how succesful Papi and Cano have been even with radical shifts against them. It led me to think what if the radical shifts weren't allowed?
Papi has finally learned in the last few years to hit to the opposite field and it has added 20 or 30 points to his BA. Cano keeps on hitting, incredibly well, in spite of the picket fence set up against him.
In my mind, the shift finally forced Papi to be more than a pull hitter. But how many times have balls been shot right into the extra player?
I know managers have always shaded fielders to places where scouting reports indicate there is an advantage, but "the shift" we see is really hard on some people.

Package Deal Part IXWritten by on November 2, 2005 Sacramento Vintage Ford's Mail-Order F-100. Tying Up Loose Ends
You know, nothing's ever easy, is it? While that can apply to practically every facet of life as we know it, in this reference it's pretty obvious that the trials and tribulations of building a truck from the ground up are very dramatic at best. To add insult to injury, we're dealing with one of the first-ever 100-percent aftermarket F-100s! Sure, there's no junkyard hopping, no classified hunting, no swap meet scouring, and especially no worrying about bringing antiquated parts back to life, which would theoretically make life easier on us, but not exactly. No, orchestrating a project of this magnitude--and remember, we're just magazine guys, not truck builders by trade--is an exhausting effort. There are no plans to follow; no guidelines other than common sense (which isn't always right on target); and no previous examples from which to emulate. Fortunately, we had the greatest resources at hand to help us through and get to this point. The manufacturers offered whatever assistance necessary each time we came to an obstacle along the way.
Don't get us wrong--this hasn't been one headache after another (at least not for everyone). Many of the obstacles were encountered due to our novice background with such an endeavor, but all have served as great learning experiences. At this point, we're pretty much wrapping up the chassis for the last time, specifically concentrating on the Smedding small-block Ford engine. In the past, we indicated that it was necessary to notch the crossmember in the Walton Fabrication chassis to accommodate the Ford front-sump oil pan--NOT TRUE! Our hastiness with the ill fit led us to do what many DIY builders might automatically do, and that's cut to make fit. Again, that's not necessary, as Milodon offers the solution in a rear-sump (sort of a dual) oil pan kit that completely alleviates any fitment issues. Walton generally uses the Ford Racing Performance Parts "engine swap" pan kits (such as the M-6675-A58), but since our Ford wasn't from Ford, we went with the Milodon application instead (which Ford actually uses in some cases). Once we figured all that out and got the new pan installed on the engine, it was clearly evident that the notching was a big waste of time. We in no way intended to compromise Walton's product, and while our quick thinking may have made it appear so, hopefully you'll see the solution's quite simple.
Moving on, the next item of business was the front drive system. As many of you know, managing multiple accessories such as an A/C compressor, power steering pump, and an alternator in a nice and tidy manner is not always as easy as it sounds. Luckily for us, Redd Machining made it simple with their Concept One serpentine pulley system. Machined from billet aluminum and fully polished, the kit was complete (including pump and compressor) with the exception of the Powermaster alternator, but, most importantly, easy to install.
Next, our ignition system was completed with an HEI unit from DUI. The one-piece (coil-in-cap) electronic distributor simply dropped in place. And with a single 12V lead, it's an easy and clean hookup, as well. Following that, our primary exhaust dilemmas were overcome with a set of Jet Hot-coated headers from good old Sanderson. The rear-dump blockhuggers pose no interference issues with the starter, steering components, or oil filter. From there, an Edelbrock electric-choke carburetor, mechanical fuel pump, and a custom air cleaner kit from K&N Engineering wrapped things up nicely. Once we get the truck situated a bit further, we'll get down to fine tuning and finalizing the remaining "loose ends" that linger.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Despite the crossmember being cut prematurely, we realized our errors and ordered up the correct oil pan, which, had we had originally, would have alleviated any modifications. The Milodon front-sump 7-quart pan kit includes everything shown: pan, gasket, pickup, and dipstick.To evenly seat the gasket, the pan was held up with hardware at each end and secured in a basic "cylinder-head torquing" sequence to avoid pinching. Silicone was, however, used at the corners of the front and rear mains.As you can see, our previous alterations were all for naught. Just goes to show that, when all else fails, the torch is not always the answer!Equally as important as getting the right oil pan is finding the right headers when using a small-block Ford. Sanderson came to the rescue with their rear-dump blockhuggers, nicely coated by Jet Hot, of course.And once the headers were snugged up to the heads, the braided stainless Milidon dipstick was installed.
Not to purposely conceal the aspiration, but to provide proper air filtration, K&N supplied one of their new Custom Series air cleaner kits, along with an oil filter, as well.A mechanical Edelbrock fuel pump wrapped up our induction installation...at least for the time being.Ignition was easily handled with Performance Distributor's DUI one-piece HEI kits, complete with 8mm plug wires.The unit is literally a drop-in-and-go deal, with but a single 12V lead to hook up, eliminating all the messy wires associated with Ford ignitions.To the heart of the matter: The Concept One billet serpentine pulley system, shown here complete with A/C compressor and power steering pump....and on. With detailed instructions, the assembly is cake. A good set of Allen wrenches and a steady hand will tackle the task in no time.Easing installation, of course, is the inclusion of the A/C compressor (and steering pump), as you don't have to worry about getting the right application, etc.
The one item we had to complete the setup was an alternator, for which we went to Powermaster to obtain. For the money, you can't beat their product (including the high-torque starters, which we also used).

Wilmington, NC -- A Wilmington man told police he intentionally ran a car into a restaurant Friday after a woman criticized his political views, according to Star News Online.
Police say at least one person was injured in the wreck that happened just before 11 p.m. Friday.
The man ran his dark green Honda Civic through the front of Katy's Great Eats in Wilmington before driving away from the scene.
Police later found the car and arrested Jacob Spivey, 26. Spivey told police he was trying to hurt a woman who criticized his political views.
The woman, in her 40s, was injured in the incident. She suffered several cuts and a few broken bones, but police say her injuries are not life-threatening.
Police charged Spivey with 11 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, felony hit and run, injury to real property and reckless operation of a vehicle.
He's being held in the New Hanover County Jail under a $100,000 secured bond.

Jesse Hill Jr., an insurance executive and Black newspaper publisher who was a backstage colossus in business, politics and the civil rights movement in Atlanta died Dec. 17 of an undisclosed illness. He was 86.
Hill was a former chief executive of Atlanta Life Insurance Co. and founder of the Atlanta Inquirer. He hailed from St. Louis and found his way to Atlanta in 1949 after graduating from Lincoln University in Jefferson, Mo.
Hill began his career at Atlanta Life as an entry-level clerk, but climbed to the top of the company. He became a major force in Atlanta's business community while quietly providing funding for the civil rights movement during the 1960s. In addition to providing operating funds for many of the key civil rights organizations, he provided bail money to secure the release of many of those arrested during non-violent demonstrations.
Although he never held, or sought, elective office, Hill was the advisor and behind-the-scenes influence in scores of political campaigns at the local and national levels—including the successful presidential campaign of then-Gov. Jimmy Carter in the 1980s.
"He really represents the fundamental glue that bridged the divide between the business community and the political community in the city of Atlanta," Mayor Kasim Reed told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "And he did so masterfully…."
Hill's journey toward political power began through his involvement in a forum based at the YMCA where he lived shortly after moving to Atlanta. The Butler Street YMCA's Hungry Club was where Black and White leaders engaged in serious dialogue on contemporary issues.
In the 1960s, he was an advisor to Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen as discriminatory policies were being toppled. He was appointed the first chair of Atlanta's Metropolitan Area Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) board of directors and also was the first African American selected to serve on the board of regents for the University System of Georgia.
In 1977, he was elected president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the first African American to hold such a position in a major U.S. city. He also was elected as the first Black member of the board of directors of the Commerce Club, the elite venue of Atlanta's previously all-White power structure.
In addition to being a force behind the emergence in the 1970s of Maynard Jackson, Atlanta's first Black mayor, he also played a key role in the election of Reed, the current mayor.
Andrew Young, who became Georgia's first Black congressman since Reconstruction and later served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and as Atlanta's mayor, said he never made a move without consulting Hill.
Hill has served on the boards of a number of corporations, including Comsat, Delta Air Lines, Knight-Ridder, Morse Shoes, National Service Industries, Rich's, S & H Corporation, and SunTrust, often as the first minority member.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA9) -- Some five thousand people have signed a petition to stop the closing of the Northern Virginia Training Center and other state centers that serve the developmentally disabled.
At the Training Center in Fairfax, several aging parents say the state is bullying them to move their children out with no good options.
Ken Gans is one of them. His 53-year-old son Jeffrey has been a resident at the Northern Virginia Training Center for 40 years.
Jeffrey can't speak. He developed no language skills after being born with several severe disabilities. Jeffrey has the mentality of a six month old baby. The training center's staff bathes him, feeds him and changes his diapers.
Jeffrey's family is fearful of where he will end up is the facility closes as planned in 2015.
Under an agreement with the Department of Justice, the state will close four of its five training centers. The only one left open will be either in Chesapeake or Lynchburg. Most residents are supposed to transition into group homes.
To place all 80 some Fairfax residents would take 25 new group homes, that don't exist now. There are hundreds of people in Northern Virginia and thousands across the state on waiting lists for group homes.
Ken Gans says he won't put Jeffrey in a group home.
"If there's one person on duty, these people can't speak. If he's abused in any kind of bad way, who's going to talk about it? How would you know? You won't," said Gans.
Fairfax County Supervisor John Cook says the county will keep a close watch on what happens.
"We need to make sure that the group homes here in Northern Virginia, specifically in Fairfax, are high quality, so that parents have a good choice, and what we don't want to see is a choice between substandard group home care and an institution out of the county. That would not be acceptable," said Cook.
Gans said, "The fact that his civil rights and his parents are being violated."
While Ken Gans, of McLean, will make the trip to visit his son, other elderly parents may not be able to.
The families hope they can convince Virginia lawmakers to keep the centers open to allow families more time to find adequate care for their loved ones.

If you're thinking about taking your child to the doctor for a flu shot, there are some new guidelines you should know about.
Health officials say children are more susceptible to serious complications from the flu, and for the first time the Centers for Disease Control is recommending infants age six months to 24 get a flu shot.
Also, for kids less than nine getting their first influenza vaccine will need two shots days apart to boost their immunity.
Doctors say you should get a flu shot in October or November.

The energy that is producing the rain and the severe weather threat is taking more of a southern route... that means the bulk of the activity is passing to our south. We can and should still see some rain this afternoon, but the potential for BIG downpours and dangerous weather is getting less and less likely - never a bad thing!
Keep checking in with us - find us on Facebook and Twitter - we'll keep updating!!!
The little lull in the rain will end this afternoon - likely before lunchtime in many areas. Clouds dominate this morning, any breaks of sunshine we see will be few and far between. Temps start near 60 and rise into the low and mid 70s.
The showers and storms that return later this morning and this afternoon will contain some downpours and some gusty winds. There is still the potential for some dangerous weather this afternoon too. Most of the action should be between 11 and 5, with very slow and gradual clearing to take place tomorrow.
The weekend forecast looks PERFECT for SPRINGTIME TALLAHASSEE or any outdoor plans.

A chiefly send-off
Henrico Fire Chief Edwin Smith retired Sept. 14 and received a surprise send-off from Henrico firefighters and county officials on his last day. Smith was greeted in the parking lot of the county's Public Safety building by several fire trucks, a ladder truck with an American flag flying and numerous members of the division, which he led for the past five years.
Smith spent 38 years with the division, beginning in May 1974 as a firefighter. He served in every suppression position as a firefighter and officer and advanced to serve as an inspector, investigator and later commander of the Fire Prevention section. A promotion to battalion chief and later chief of training for the division preceded his appointment to chief Aug. 18, 2007.
Smith is an active member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, International Association of Black Professional Fire Fighters, Virginia Fire Chiefs Association and Central Virginia Fire and Arson Association. In 2010, he was appointed by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell to the Virginia Fire Services Board.

Daytona 500 2013 - Race Recap
Posted by: lori on Feb 24, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
Daytona Beach, FL (February 24, 2013) – After a successful week of practice and qualifying, Casey Mears and his GEICO team were anxious to get underway at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday afternoon. While gray skies hovered and rain threatened the area, clear weather prevailed, allowing a full 500 miles of racing at the World Center of Racing.
The previous weekend saw Mears sit 17th in both practice sessions before qualifying 15th. Mears' #13 GEICO Ford Fusion was strong, as evidenced by his effort during Thursday's Budweiser Duel number one, where he ran in second place for the bulk of the race before finishing eighth.
The Germain Racing team looked to pick up where they left off when the green flag set the 55th Daytona 500 underway on Sunday afternoon. Starting 17th, Mears vacillated back and forth in the draft before the event's first caution flag was displayed on lap 27 for debris on the backstretch. Sitting in the 22nd position, he brought his GEICO Fusion to the attention of the Germain Racing pit crew. They quickly refreshed him with tires and fuel before returning him to the racing surface two positions to the good, in 20th place.
Unfortunately, lap 33 of 200 changed the trajectory of Mears' day when Kasey Kahne abruptly got sideways in front of the field. While Mears did a masterful job of avoiding the incident, Tony Stewart would later make an unexpected turn into the #13 car, causing heavy damage to the front of Mears' GEICO Fusion. Juan Pablo Montoya, Kevin Harvick and Jamie McMurray were also collected in the crash. While NASCAR's elite headed for their garage stalls, the crew of Germain Racing went to work on Mears' car on pit road. Armed with a sawsall and bear bond, the GEICO pit crew quickly made extensive repairs to the front end of his Ford Fusion. They ultimately returned Mears to the race just ten laps down, while others involved in the crash would take much longer to reappear.
Although Mears sat in the 37th position for much of the race, the Germain crew worked efficiently on pit road each time the GEICO Fusion made a visit, keeping him in optimum position to make up ground. While Mears may have otherwise seemed doomed as he pedaled around the 2.5-mile superspeedway in a damaged racecar, he was instead turning fast, consistent laps that were competitive with the leaders.
When the checkered flag brought the 500-mile event to a close, Mears and his GEICO team managed to overcome a major setback early to pick up eight positions and salvage a 29th place finish.
"We had a good, consistent week leading up to the 500, so it's hard to be too upset because these things happen at Daytona and Talladega," Mears said after the race. "What we focus on is how we respond to the situation and in this case we kept digging and working hard, and because of our effort, we were able to pick up eight spots, which is huge at the beginning of the season. I'm really proud of the guys and their perseverance today." He added, "It was a great week and I'm appreciative of GEICO and Bob Germain's commitment to the team in making sure we run the full season in 2013 and 2014. It's all positive as we head to Phoenix next week."
Mears and his GEICO team pack it up and head west next week where they will spend the next three of four races on the west coast; Phoenix, Las Vegas, Bristol and Fontana compose their month of March.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion will hit the track at Phoenix International Raceway for the opening practice session on Friday, March 1st, at 2:00 PM (EST). Qualifying will follow at 6:10 PM (EST).
The Subway Fresh Fit 500 is on Sunday, March 3rd, and it will be televised live on FOX beginning at 3:00 PM (EST). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Nick Swisher is headed back home.
The Cleveland Indians officially signed the Ohio native on Thursday to a
four-year contract through 2016 with a vesting option for the 2017 season.
Swisher was born in Columbus and attended Ohio State University from 2000-02,
earning All-Big Ten honors during his sophomore and junior seasons.
The 32-year-old veteran spent the past four seasons with the Yankees and
helped New York to its last World Series title in 2009. He batted .272 with 24
homers and 93 runs batted in last season.
A fan favorite for much of his four years in the Bronx, Swisher was unhappy
after Yankee fans again criticized his lack of postseason success. He was just
5-for-30 in eight playoff games in 2012, and batted just .162 in 36 postseason
games for the Yankees.
Swisher is a career .256 hitter with 209 homers, 673 RBI and a .361 on-base
percentage in 1,209 games over nine big league seasons. He broke in with
Oakland in 2004 and spent four seasons with the Athletics before playing one
year with the White Sox.
Swisher made the 2010 American League All Star team and is one of three AL
players, along with Paul Konerko and David Ortiz, to hit at least 20 home runs
in each of the last eight seasons.
Boston, Texas and Seattle were also in the bidding for Swisher, who has
belted at least 20 homers in each of his eight full big league seasons.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I think that's from Mister Rogers Neighborhood. It certainly applies to the weather we've been seeing lately. Our pattern is locked in place for several days, thanks to what's called an "omega block", meaning the shape of the Omega symbol. We have a trough of low pressure in the western part of the country, a ridge of high pressure over the east, and another trough of low pressure off the New England coast. This "blocky" pattern can persist for several days, thus the beautiful weather.
As low pressure begins to drift to the south and southeast, there could be some clouds filtering into the Outer Banks the middle part of the week, with showers expected to stay well offshore. The flow will remain out of a northerly direction for the next several days. We will see typical early November weather for eastern Carolina really until further notice. Morning lows will be primarily in the low and mid 40s, with afternoon high temperatures in the middle and sometimes upper 60s. The next chance for any precipitation won't be until next week sometime. But until then, enjoy!!

I already have a system in place which includes a web server for hosting my family website, mail server (running postfix), and also have https for my webmail (currently using openwebmail)
My question is, how would installing zimbra affect everything that is alreay running on this server? I don't have the option of standing up a new system so everything would have to be on this one system.
Thanks, and I hope that I am able to use this great looking program without too much hassle.

MSJC officials considering options for bookstores
The college bookstores at Mt. San Jacinto College's two chief campuses are in trouble.
To put it more succinctly, they've lost money the last two years, forcing officials to ask MSJC's board of trustees to consider a number of options as college campus bookstores across the country struggle to compete against a number of online ventures taking large chunks out of colleges' bookstore revenue streams.
"What we're discovering with our bookstores, as most colleges in our area are, is we're seeing a decline in numbers," said Teri Sisco, associate dean of procurement and general services. "And we don't like ending up in the negative numbers, so we're doing everything we can to (lower) costs that we don't need to have this year."
Which means there are a number of options on the table, from partial to full outsourcing of services to the redesigning of business models that have yielded significant losses since 2011.
After reporting $225,000 in profits in 2009 and 2010, unaudited numbers show that MSJC's bookstores in San Jacinto and Menifee lost $58,000 in 2011 and nearly $140,000 last year, rates of decline that Sisco attributes to the growing use of E-textbooks, state funding cuts that have forced the college to reduce course offerings and a large number of students flocking to price comparison websites, such as Amazon.com, to find cheaper alternatives.
For the time being, the board has directed MSJC's staff to put those options on hold pending further review of its bookstores' financial trends.
On top of that, a number of faculty members negotiate directly with publishers to offer less expensive books to students, cutting campus bookstores completely out of the loop, according to a report that Sisco prepared for MSJC's board of trustees.
With considerable overhead costs, it all amounts to a storm that MSJC's bookstores are struggling to weather.
"We've had a major slide," Sisco said. "We do need to come up with something to get business back in the store."
Although MSJC's bookstores sell a number of items, from school apparel to basic school supplies, new and used textbook sales account for about 92 percent of the stores' sales. While a new rental program -- which typically saves students' 47 percent off new books' prices -- has generated $184,000 the last two years, those numbers haven't bridged gaps that are widening each year in new and used textbook sales.
After topping $2.5 million in new textbook sales revenue in 2009 and 2010, MSJC's bookstores slipped to $1.7 million and $1.4 million the last two years. Likewise, used textbook revenues have seen 30 and 20 percent dips each of the last two years, while general merchandise sales dropped 27 percent last year.
At the Menifee Valley campus alone, supervisor Kathie Wellington-Maxon said her store has seen a 30 percent reduction in sales over the last year "due to decreased enrollment and students purchasing books at other places."
Travis Flynt, 27, is among the MSJC students who turn to off-campus options -- such asAmazon.com and Barnes & Noble's online store -- except when he sells his used books to MSJC's store to save on postage.
"It's definitely cheaper," he said.
Case in point: The fourth edition of "Sentence Skills with Readings" required for one of Crystal Bryan's English courses is listed at $109.50 for a new book and $68.70 for a used version at MSJC's online store. Amazon.com lists new and used versions of the book at prices beginning at $82.59 and $28.54, respectively, while Barnesandnoble.com sells a new copy for $93.47.
Sisco's report to the board acknowledged that the bookstores' overhead/fixed costs hinder their ability to compete with chains and book exchange websites.

Pitcher Kanekoa Texeira claimed on Outright Waivers by the Yankees
The Royals announced today that right-handed relief pitcher Kanekoa Texeira, who was designated for assignment on May 18, was claimed on Outright Waivers by the New York Yankees. The Royals' Major League roster remains at 40 players.

6JSC/CCC/11 Revision of RDA 184.108.40.206 (Titles of Parts, Sections, and Supplements) and RDA 220.127.116.11 (Collective Title and Titles of Individual Contents)

General comments
The proposal targets portions of the RDA text that would benefit from greater clarity. I think the proposed changes to 18.104.22.168 are an improvement. However, I wonder if the entire picture could be clarified even more if guidelines currently offered at 22.214.171.124 were consolidated with 184.108.40.206. This would not only be convenient, but also logical (I think), since the guidelines at 18.104.22.168 primarily (or entirely?) concern title proper. I would also like to see a definition for the phrase "common title," used frequently in 2.3.17. How does it relate to "collective title" (which is defined in the glossary)? Is a collective title one variety of common title? -- Francis Lapka, RBMS Liaison, 2013 Aug 12.
Response: To answer Francis' question, my own understanding is that the "common title" is the title held in common across all the subordinate parts, sections, supplements, etc., where a collective title is the title proper of an aggregate comprised of individual works. It would be the difference between: A] "Shakespeare's plays. The tragedies" "Shakespeare's plays. The comedies" "Shakespeare's plays. The histories" -- a common title of "Shakespeare's plays" with separate section titles; and B] "Three tragedies of Shakespeare : Romeo and Juliet ; Hamlet ; Macbeth" -- a collective title of "Three tragedies of Shakespeare" and three individual titles contained under it. The difference is subtle, but I think real. MYERS, CCDA Liaison to the MAC, 2013/08/12
Question: does the "Acta ... Philologica" example belong in both example sets of the revised 18.104.22.168? MYERS, CCDA Liaison to the MAC, 2013/08/12
Disagreement: The exception developed under 126.96.36.199 for Television programs, radio programs, etc., is not now universally applied, even in Anglo-American cataloging -- while prevalent for programs like that identified in the example, episodes of documentary series are often cataloged directly under the episode title with a series added entry for the general program (e.g., episodes of PBS's program Nova). Furthermore, I am not convinced RDA constituencies outside the Anglo-American cataloging tradition, particularly those with stronger traditions of analytical description, would find this exception at all agreeable. MYERS, CCDA Liaison to the MAC, 2013/08/12
I think I disagree with the proposed exception at 126.96.36.199 "and the title of the part, section, or supplement is insufficient to identify that part, section, or supplement without also including the common title." Why is it necessary for this condition to be met?
I agree with John's explanation of "common title." Earlier in 220.127.116.11, the phrasing is "the title common to all parts or sections." I think the instances of "common title" that follow are just a kind of shorthand.
In response to Francis: I am assuming that the stuff in 184.108.40.206 needs to stay in 2.3.1 because it can apply to elements other than title proper, such as parallel title proper.
Tracey Snyder, MusLA, Aug. 12, 2013
I share Tracey's concern about the condition introduced at 184.108.40.206 ("…and the title of the part, section, or supplement is insufficient to identify that part …"). Application of this change would mean that we no longer record the common title when the title of the part (etc.) *is* sufficient. Doing so would bring more consistency between 126.96.36.199 and the proposed 184.108.40.206.2 (analytical description), but would also de-emphasize the principle of representation.
Furthermore, when the title of the part (etc.) *is* sufficient, the proposal creates a scenario where it doesn't provide instructions about what to do with the common title . Presumably, one might record the common title as (a) a series statement, or (b) the title of a related work, but such instructions are not given. Such a course is what 22.214.171.124 (final paragraph) instructs for resources where the source of information *does not* include the common title; but, as written, this provision cannot be applied when the source of information does include the common title. -- Francis Lapka, RBMS liaison, 2013 Aug 13
Agree with proposal to split 184.108.40.206 into comprehensive and analytical instructions. Kathy Glennan (talk) 13:30, 13 August 2013 (PDT)
Am I correct in thinking that 220.127.116.11 only applies to analytical descriptions? If so, shouldn't the instruction make that explicit? Kathy Glennan (talk) 13:38, 13 August 2013 (PDT)

Washington Court Restores $14 Million Award
On Thursday, July 16, the Supreme Court in Washington unanimously reinstated a $14 million award to a DUI accident victim.
In April 2000, Hawkeye Kinkaid was drinking at the Bellingham Moose Lodge, where is girlfriend, Alexis Chapman, was serving him as a bartender. The forensic consultant found that Kinkaid probably drank the equivalent 21 12-ounce beers or 30 ounces 80-proof alcohol.
His blood alcohol level was believed to be .32 at the time of the collision.
While he was driving home, Kinkaid crossed the center line in Ferndale, Wash. and struck Bianca Faust's car. Fraust, from New York City, was driving with her two children and grandchild. Everyone in Faust's car was injured and Kinkaid was killed. The accident left Faust's 7-year-old son, Christopher, a paraplegic.
Faust sued the lodge and Chapman and was awarded $14 million in Whatcom County Superior Court. The state Court of Appeals later overturned the case because Faust needed to present "specific point-in-time evidence" that Kinkaid appeared drunk when Chapman was serving him.
Washington DUI law holds bartenders liable for damages to potential victims if they serve visibly intoxicated customers. The court said that Chapman told others that Kinkaid was too "tipsy" to be driving. At one point in the night she refused to serve him.
