Patriots swept by Santa Fe College

GAINESVILLE — The College of Central Florida softball team had its chances, but couldn't come up with a victory in a doubleheader against Mid-Florida Conference rival Santa Fe College.
After seeing the Saints score twice in the bottom of the sixth in a 3-2 loss in the opener, CF could only watch as Celeste Bradshaw hit a walk-off, two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning in a 4-3 defeat.
"We've got to be able to close games out in conference play," said CF coach Kerri Ryskamp, whose team fell two games behind SFC for first in the MFC. "All-in-all, we should have won both games today."
CF (27-12, 7-3) led the second game 3-0 after solo homer by Amy Szymanowski and a two-run blast by Shelby Mathews, before the Saints scored twice in the fifth to get back into the games.
"We got complacent after we got ahead by three runs," Ryskamp said. "We can't do that."
Nelson (9-4) did a nice job of getting the Patriots on the verge of the win, as she retired the first two batters of the seventh.
SFC's Yinara Sanchez, though, kept her team alive with a single past a diving Szymanowksi.
Up next was Bradshaw, who lifted a ball over the left field fence for the game-winner.
"That was a tough one," Ryskamp said. "We had our chances."
For CF, Szymanowksi's homer was her 10th of the season and tied the school's single-season school record for home runs.
The freshman shortstop's blast was drilled over the left field fence and helped the Patriots chase SFC starter Amber Maxey after just five batters.
CF upped its lead to 3-0 in the fourth inning, as Mathews hit a two-run shot inside the left field pole, which also scored Amber Hulsey, who led off the frame with a single off Ashley Chapman.
The Saints battled back in the fifth inning to within 3-2, as consecutive doubles by Sanchez and Celeste Bradshaw plated a pair of runs, before Nelson got out of the jam.
CF was led by Szymanowksi (1-for-2, run scored, RBI, homer), Mathews (1-for-3, run scored, two RBI, homer), Hulsey (1-for-2, run scored) and Lizzie Glass (1-for-4) at the plate in the second game.
In the opener, CF saw Tori Stamper (14-6) allowed just one hit in six innings, but mustered only three hits against SFC's Karla Claudio (11-5), who fanned nine and walked two in the complete game victory.
"We had a hard time figuring Claudio out," Ryskamp said. "It's tough to lose when you only allow one hit. We made too many mistakes."
The Patriots were their own worst enemy in Game 1 as they battled back, but couldn't hold a late charge by SFC, which scored twice in the sixth thanks to two Patriot errors after CF had taken the lead with two runs of its own in the top of the frame.
"That was a frustrating one," Ryskamp said. "We outhit them and outplayed them, but those two errors kept the inning alive."
In the sixth, SFC's Bradshaw worked a 3-2 count into a bases-loaded walk in a nine-pitch at-bat, which scored the tying run, before the hosts took the lead for good on a passed ball.
Bellach (1-for-3, RBI) led the Patriots in the first game.

Hi Folks,
Here is some bugs I have found after hours playing.. Rockstar made a good job improving this game
If you go for a movie, you can aim the seller (don't shoot). He will run and scream. Don't follow him and wait at the theater. He will reapers again at the same position, this making an infinite loop of a crazy men running.
They may be some UFOs : some objects are standing in the air, frozen (rare).
When riding an horse, with the lasso take another horse (not a savage one) and try to move it. It will not move and stay in place, making something funny when your horse run.
My horse got stuck on a small wall, and I got a force re-spawn like 100 meters in the air (making me die of course).

lol, i saw two walton boys outside of the armadillo saloon each standing on top of a glass bottle ... i don't know how in the hell that was possible but, i saw it... also, one time when i walked into the saloon, i saw a lady of the evening floating in the air like she was hung from the ceiling ...
i took a taxi coach to macfarlane's ranch... i took a nap in the back to speed up the process... when i got there, i got out and as soon as the taxi coach took off, another coach spawned right in front of it and they hit each other full speed... it was loud and the horses temporarily got tangled up or something as both coaches were damn near tipping over... about a second later they split up and went their own ways but, i thought i was about to see a massive horse massacre as there was 6 of them mangled in this mess...
Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

You can order caterpillars online from several sources just Google "order caterpillars online" and you'll get a lot of options. You will need to check to make sure they are allowed in your state and to think about what kind of climate/season you will be releasing them (i.e. you don't want to release freshly hatched butterflies in the middle of winter!)

What a great idea!
I would love to do this with my kids, but we don't seem to have these catepillars around here in great quantities. In fact, not sure I've seen any at all. :(
Good luck with them!

|Study committee to look at mill levy override
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Pros and cons of a mill levy override were pondered at a March 3 work session of Holyoke Re-1J Board of Education, following the regular board meeting. In a mill levy override, a ballot question allows voters to approve or disapprove additional property tax levied specifically for the school district. Still in the research phase, a mill levy override will be evaluated by a committee of community members, with board members Linda Jelden and Kendon Olofson also serving.
Board members were each asked to come up with three to five names for committee consideration, and a group will be organized soon.
Jelden opened pro/con discussion Tuesday by noting if the mill levy override is ballot consideration for the 2009 election, the process needs to start immediately.
She cited the board is also in the midst of a superintendent search, which involves a time commitment. She said she still maintains before going to the community to ask for money, there needs to be more education on what's been done and considered in the budget process.
Dan Kafka cited the district is at a crossroads. An elementary art position has been cut for 2009-10, and he said if the district doesn't get more money, it will have to continue to cut.
Two things Kafka said would help in a mill levy override election are: not to be in a recession and to have a solid superintendent in place.
Kafka said he thinks questions have to be asked about transportation, technology and general fund. "I don't think we can wait," he added, saying more money is needed now.
Jeff Tharp said the problem he sees is once you begin cutting and cutting deeply, the issue with declining enrollment can become worse, and there's a possibility the school district will become one the community can't be proud of.
"There's inherent value in the community taking pride in the school district," added Tharp. He agrees Re-1J is at a crossroads where the district will start to look different.
Being conservative, Kafka said it's hard for him to want to raise taxes. He emphasized the importance of having clear numbers and a clear direction of what folks are going to get for their money in a mill levy override ballot question.
He suggested posing a question for the community to help the board understand if they want more cuts or if they have other ideas. "We knew this was coming at some point," said Kafka.
"Now we're starting to hurt," said Kendon Olofson. He noted there are so many things the district can't do because it's short on money. "We need to be adding, not just holding on to what we've got."
Jon King acknowledged the district is in a crunch, but pointed out a newly-hired superintendent will not have time to get acclimated to the community to lead an effort to pass a mill levy override.
It was noted in the district's bond election 10 years ago, it was the board who took the lead, rather than the superintendent. School employees, including the superintendent, can give information, but can't devote work-day time to working with the "yes-vote" committee.
The yes-vote effort must be from a civilian committee, making phone calls and promoting a mill levy override endeavor.
Kris Camblin asked about the size of such a committee. Supt. Stephen Bohrer suggested an executive committee of five and a full committee of around 24.
Josh Magden of George K. Baum Company would start coming out for some of the monthly meetings, noted Dr. Bohrer.
Magden spoke to the board Feb. 10, highlighting his company's work with school districts to organize various types of revenue elections, including mill levy and bond elections.
Kafka said he's received calls recently indicating people feel it's time to go for the mill levy override.
Bohrer said he would encourage pursuing it because the money is needed now and if it fails, it can be tried again the next year.
Board members liked the idea of getting a committee together and of identifying areas of need, such as technology, transportation, roof and operational deficits.
It was emphasized this is just a research committee at this time, as no official decision has been made as to whether the 2009 ballot will carry the mill levy override question.

After scary crash on I-75, driver says, 'I'm glad that I am here to say that I'm sore'
Published: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 6:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 6:33 p.m.
On Monday, Edward Farmer reflected on his brush with death a day earlier on Interstate 75 when the car he driving was crushed between a tractor-trailer and another trailer carrying hundreds of honey bee boxes.
Photo Galleries
Farmer groaned as he moved around what was left of the 2010 Acura. The car, which was at Revis Towing, was mangled beyond recognition. Only the automaker's badges revealed the make.
"I am so sore. My neck, back, my knees, my tailbone. My entire body is aching. But I am glad that I am here to say that I'm sore," said Farmer, who was in the last few moments of a 12-hour road trip when the accident happened.
Just before 6:30 a.m. Sunday, Farmer was approaching the U.S. 27 interchange when he said he caught a glimpse of something.
"Before I knew it, I was on top of it. I thought it was a trailer full of concrete block," Farmer said. "When I hit the trailer I closed my eyes."
What he hit was a trailer load of new honey bee boxes, which had overturned a few minutes before.
"I remember reaching for the seat belt. I was sort of dizzy. The next thing I knew I was running down a ditch," Farmer said.
That quick thinking saved his life.
Moments later, a 1996 Peterbilt tractor-trailer barrelled into the back of the Acura, pushing the trunk into the back seat and the front seat to within a few inches of the steering wheel.
On Monday, Farmer and his three daughters picked through the car, removing his clothes and other items. The bags were all torn and a briefcase was crushed. A black Bible, however, was unscathed.
"I feel so fortunate. I'm glad I can be here with my girls," said Farmer, who was in Kentucky working the Keeneland September sale of yearling thoroughbreds.
Farmer works the horse sales in Ocala, Kentucky and California. He shows the horses in the ring as they go up for auction.
"I went to the emergency room yesterday and I'm going to my family doctor this week. I think I'll be just fine," he said.
His daughter, Centerria Farmer, was left nearly speechless when she saw what was left of the car.
"It's just demolished. It indescribable," said Centerria, who loaned the car to her father for the trip to Kentucky.
"As long as he's fine, I can get another vehicle. I'm just glad he got out safely," she said. "We just lost my mom a few years ago and it would have been awful to lose him."
The Florida Highway Patrol investigated the pileup, which also included two other vehicles that hit the empty bee boxes strewn on the highway. No citations were issued.
According to emergency agencies that responded to offer assistance, none of the drivers had any serious injuries.

More on Justin McRoberts.
Following the performance, you are invited to participate in a conversation about the heart of Derek's Ctrl/SOLA-MI project; a look at the relationship between humanity and technology.
On January 18, singer-songwriter Derek Webb will joining Justin McRoberts in concert. Derek will be performing songs from his Ctrl and SOLA-MI project. The project is a poignant look at the relationship between technology and humanity. As a fictional piece, the Ctrl / SOLA-MI project tells two parallel stories. One of a man in love with his fantasy life and using technology to inhabit and control his dreams. The other is the story of a machine waking up at the moment of the "singularity," wishing to be real and inhabit a world she can only see from the outside. Thematically, the work speculates about a scenario in which humanity succumbs completely to the technology we believe is improving our lives, and thereby opens the door for something we don't completely understand and cannot control.
I believe the questions raised by Derek's project are vital, human and current. Furthermore, I think you would be a powerful voice in the conversation we plan on having around those questions. The panel will be made up of Justin McRoberts, Derek Webb and one of the members of a group called Digital Detox. The Digital Detox works with employees of companies like Google and Facebook, providing "a tech-free personal wellness retreat where attendees give up their smart-phones and gadgets. They create a space that gives individuals the freedom and permission they need to truly unplug and decompress."

Providence, RI (Sports Network) - The 21st-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish
finally ran out of gas.
Kadeem Batts and Bryce Cotton had 20 and 19 points, respectively, and the
Providence Friars took advantage of a tired Notre Dame team, posting a 71-54
victory on Saturday.
Providence snapped a nine-game losing streak against the Fighting Irish, who
were coming off an 82-78 overtime triumph over visiting DePaul on
Wednesday. That game came only four days after the team survived a five-
overtime affair against Louisville.
LaDontae Henton added 13 points and eight rebounds for the Friars (14-11, 6-7
Big East), who have won four in a row.
Jack Cooley ended with 12 points and 10 boards for Notre Dame (20-6, 8-5),
which lost to Providence for the first time since Feb. 24, 2004. Tom Knight
and Garrick Sherman each tallied 11 points.

Associated Press Release
WRIGHTSVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- An 8-year-old boy spanked by a store clerk in Wrightsville says he was hit him so many times with a belt that it felt like he was being stuck with five needles.
Logan Ivey told WMAZ-TV that a store clerk called him a demon, and he said, "I'll show you a demon," and threw a cookie at her. He said the clerk took him behind a counter and hit him repeatedly with a belt, while he screamed for his mother.
Police Chief Paul Sterling said officers arrested the store clerk Thursday after a video showed her hitting the boy with a belt about 25 times. The boy's father, Jody Ivey, saw the video and called it more of a beating.

I have not found a satisfactory way to carry a pistol while backpacking yet. I have been using a North Face and a Kelty pack thus far and have an Eberlestock JP9 on the way. I am considering trying the "large padded accessory pouch", but quick access might be an issue.
Thigh rig maybe?
What kind of setups or holsters do you run to carry a defensive pistol while backpacking?

While a bright, shiny, youthful glow is certainly desirable, there is a point when shiny becomes "too much of a good thing." A face that's too shiny usually equates to an oily face. Sometimes caused by hot or humid weather and other times due simply to your (un)lucky genes, shininess is usually most prevalent in the T-zone. Not only are excess oils bad for your complexion, but they make it difficult to properly wear cosmetics, resulting in the dreaded trail of makeup running down your face. To help dissolve excess oils, try a routine that includes an oil-free cleanser and warm water, followed by a purifying or clarifying astringent, then a moisturizer or moisturizing foundation prior to applying your makeup.
For those pesky oils that seep through during the day, there's nothing handier than a blotting sheet. Purse-size blotting packets are the perfect little helpers; these trusty picker-uppers will absorb excess oils without disturbing your makeup and are infused with fragrant ingredients like green tea, lavender, peppermint, vanilla, rose and orange. For an added bonus, they can also soothe, protect and freshen up your skin.

OAKTON, Va. (WUSA) -- A dentist from Oakton, Va. was convicted on Friday to illegally giving prescription pain pills to patients, workers, and a woman he dated. Fifty-one-year-old Hamada Markarita was also convicted of using another dentist's identity to fraudulently bill an insurance company for more than $160,000 in claims, saysNeil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Makarita was convicted of conspiracy, health care fraud, aggravated identity theft charges, and five counts of dispensing controlled substances.
When he is sentenced on Feb. 15, 2013, Makarita faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison on the health care fraud charge, 20 years in prison for conspiracy and each dispensing controlled substances charge, and a two-year sentence for the aggravated identity theft charge.
Makarita owns a dental practice in Oakton, Va. and advertised online at www.fixasmile.com. According to court documents and evidence at trial, since 2007 Makarita illegally distributed and dispensed prescription medicine such as Fentanyl, Vicodin, and Valiu to patients, employees, and at least one girlfriend without a legitimate dental purpose. He told the recipients to return some or all the prescribed medicine to him.
On several occasions, Makarita distributed prescription pills to patients and at least one girlfriend in social settings and for sexual purposes. According to officials, Makarita once took explicit photographs of a girlfriend who was unconscious and under the influence of alcohol and Vicodin.
The jury also found on Friday that Makarita gave more than $160,000 in services to his family members and billed them to an insurance provider, which violated provider's contract. He billed the services under another dentist's name who did not work at his practice. Makarita received more than $91,000 in reimbursement for the fraudulent claims.

RamRodder, Part XIII - Gettin Rid of RustWritten by on January 1, 2012
For longer than we'd like to admit there's been little or no progress on our Project RamRodder. And while we'd like to claim extenuating circumstances (or even better, find a way to blame Editor Brennan), the truth is things came to a stop because we know our limitations—what needed to be done exceeded our abilities. It was time to get the body ready for paint, our least-favorite part of building a car. From here on out we needed a real bodyman so we called on Jake Brazille, of Jake's Place in Florence, Oregon, to get us back on track.
While man had been kind to our '50 Plymouth and it negotiated traffic for a little more than half a century without any significant damage, Mother Nature hadn't been so friendly. The floor from the firewall to the trunklid was completely rusted away, both rocker panels needed patching, and the rear body mounts were in sad shape. But the real challenge was the rusted area below the trunklid. Made from a number of stamped pieces that were welded together it made more sense to replace that section than try to repair it. We certainly weren't worried about authenticity so some creative methods were used to make the necessary repairs to RamRodder—but then that's the name of the game.
Next time around we'll work on fitting the trunklid, and begin prepping the body for paint. Not even Brennan can stop us now.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Jake Brazille decided to take the direct approach and completely remove the rusty section of the body with a reciprocating saw.The sill below the trunk was made from multiple pieces that were welded together, making them difficult to repair. The open end of the support left in place will be closed with sheetmetal.After removal, the solid upper piece of the sill that has the trunk latch (right) was separated from the rusty lower section by breaking the spot welds with a chisel.Once the fender patches were welded and ground, the open ends of the floor supports were capped with sheetmetal.As luck would have it, 1-inch square tubing was perfect for duplicating the section below the trunklid. A roller was used to shape the tubing to match the removed piece.Now the tricky part: A length of sheetmetal was bent 90 degrees to replicate the channel for the weatherstripping, and the ends were split and formed to roll into the sides of the opening.
Since the ends of the original lower panel matched the shape of the trunklid, they were cut off and welded in place to blend the replacement into the trunklid's opening. Note the evidence of tack welds (arrows) holding the new weatherstrip channel in place—they were made from the back.With the shape of the tubing confirmed, it was cut to length and welded in place, and then the top of the sill (with the catch for the trunk latch) was put back in place.Brazille's repair looks like it came from the factory—only we know it was done far differently. The new trunk floor will tie into the original panel with the trunk latch.In front of the rear fender openings there were some small rust holes. But just like an iceberg, there was much more than met the eye below the surface. Water had been collecting in the area for years and the rear body mounts were destroyed by rust.A sheetmetal patch for the top of the mount was formed. Like the original, the hole is for access to the body bolt and a rubber cushion is between the lower part of the mount and the frame.To gain access for repair we cut holes in the front of the rear fenderwells. The body mounts were unique in that they were double layered with the structural portions below and sheetmetal over the top.With the mount repaired Brazille fabricated a patch for the hole in the fenderwell. The patch for the quarter-panel will come next time.Much to our surprise, once the rotted upper parts of the mounts were removed with a grinder and cutoff wheels the lower portions were found to be in good shape. The metal was cleaned as best we could and then given a coat of rust-preventative paint.

Greetings Cyclone Fanatics!
Welcome to our biggest and best contest yet! Win a FREE ISU vintage football shirt or a Kagavi x Pendleton vintage ISU stadium blanket valued at $265. We just released five new shirt designs and the blanket last week and we are currently holding an amazing preorder deal on the blanket--two free shirts with blanket purchase. More details below.
First, another recap of what we are up to. Recently, we restarted our blog after a summer hiatus that we used to research many more topics for the fall. I also tweaked it to include a "Read More" button on long posts and also included tags on the post pages. These small changes should improve overall legibility. These changes are slowly trickling through the older posts.
The blog will feature ISU content every week with a feature story every Monday, a weekly contest on Thursday, and more. Some of our feature stories under development include: a hunt for Jack Trice game photos, a search for an actual Jack Trice era jersey, a sprawling family history I like to call White Fang goes to the Rose Bowl by way of ISU, and more!

Our custom stadium blanket that I designed is manufactured by Pendleton in Oregon and will be shipped out next month. Pendleton is a world-famous company that has been making blankets since 1863. Click on the product image in the shop link above to learn much more about the blanket. Here's a picture of the blanket in front of State Gym, clearly inspired by the famed 1920s Cyclone football teams (and my grandpa, but that's another story):

While a normal cleanser should remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, sometimes something stronger is necessary to refresh skin's appearance and to stimulate its natural process of renewing cells. This intense cleansing helps to keep skin healthy and looking fresh and radiant. Elemis Exfoliators work to intensively cleanse your skin, ensuring that all dead skin cells and residue are removed. After revealing a fresh top layer of clean skin, Elemis Exfoliators include moisturizing ingredients to prevent dryness or skin irritation.
When using a new scrub, peel, or other product to intensely renew and refresh your skin, follow the directions carefully and ensure the product is made with natural and trustworthy ingredients. Elemis Exfoliators use high-quality ingredients that are all targeted towards invigorating and healing skin. There are many expensive products and dermatological procedures to help reinvigorate skin, but many can do cumulative damage over time or use unnatural and harsh ingredients. By focusing on selecting natural ingredients, Elemis Exfoliators prove that it is possible to successfully exfoliate the skin without using harsh or potentially harmful chemicals.
Everyone's skin requires different measures of care. Elemis Exfoliators provide a good option to powerfully refresh your skin without resorting to strong or potentially harmful chemicals. Exfoliators can take many forms. Traditionally, they are known as coarse scrubs that are applied to the face and rubbed in like a cleanser, then rinsed with water. Over the past decade, many skin experts have revealed that these harsh scrubs can be harmful to the skin, damaging the top layer and sometimes damaging surface-level blood vessels. The impact of some harsh or chemically-based products can be evident for days after use.
Exfoliators do not need to take the form of a coarse scrub. Newer products offer the same exfoliating benefits while also focusing on moisturizing the skin. Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel can provide an alternative to harsh scrubs. This formula is a rinse-off facial peel that can be applied at home. It relies on natural, exfoliating fruit enzymes to strip away dead skin cells and residue and to revitalize the look and feel of skin. Soothing papaya and pineapple work to smooth and clarify skin, while milk proteins and vitamin E moisturize, repair, and protect the skin from future harm. Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel offers benefits for all skin types. It can help to reduce fine lines and other signs of aging while it refreshes the complexion. Further, the formula has proven effective in reducing the appearance of acne scarring. This product offers an overall cleansing and moisturizing solution for all skin types.

The EU project "European Cross-Actors Exchange Platform for Trafficked Children on Methodology Building for Prevention and Sustainable Inclusion - Catch & Sustain" came to its end and led, as the main result, to the creation of an Anti-trafficking intervention programme targeted to vulnerable children.
This EU-transferable toolkit is an innovative and highly useful practice-oriented manual in particular for social workers and othe operators who are involved in the prevention and protection of vulnerable children against trafficking in their daily work.
It contains 3 training modules for operators working directly with vulnerable children aiming at improving their capacities on identification, empowerment and data collection. A training module is directly targeted to empower children themselves in order to increase their knowledge and avoid at-risk situations for them. The toolkit includes practical annexes to be used during the training modules as well as a summary of the relevant international and European legislation on child trafficking.
EFSC gives input to the Council of Europe`s new report on "Access to school and education for all children"
The Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (CoE) will develop a report under the direction of Mr. Gvozden Srećko FLEGO on the "Access to school and education for all children".
On request by the Council EFSC gave input to this report through an up-dated recommendation paper with a special focus on street children`s access to school and education. This position paper is based on a study report developed by EFSC for the CoE in 2008 on need-oriented best practice to re-integrate street children at the municipality level in 4 EU Member States (RO, IT, F, UK).
Based on the analysis that street children have a very low school attendance while education is a crucial means of socialisation and that there is a clear lack of material resources, qualified personnel and innovative methods to assist street children and to meet their educational needs, a series of key recommendations has been developed in order to improve the situation in European countries in a sustainable way.
The recommendations are addressed to the local, regional, national and European authorities.
For more details see the position paper.
Roundtable Discussion: Championing Children's Rights in the European Parliament Wednesday 24 September 2014
ROOM ASP 6 D 128 (access through the European Parliament Library ASP building, section D, 5th floor)
The new European Parliament must have the institutional capacity to stand up for the interests of children in every aspect of its work. We call on MEPs to ensure the rights of all children around the world are respected and fulfilled. All 28 EU Member States have ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; the Lisbon Treaty makes the promotion of children's rights an explicit objective of EU internal and external affairs and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights requires that the best interests of the child is a primary consideration in all EU actions.
The Child Rights Action Group, bringing together international and European organisations promoting children's rights both in the EU and in its external action, invite you to debate how you can translate your commitment into concrete results for children.
Interested to make a commitment to children's rights in the European Parliament? Please read our Manifesto and sign up to become a Child Rights Champion.
The European Federation for Street Children (EFSC) is a non for profit organization established in 1994, with the legal status of an `Association Sans But Lucratif´ (ASBL) in Luxembourg.

I am trying to find out a little more information on the Grizz, Goat, and Sheep over there as I have alot of distaint family that lives over there and my grandparents own 20 acres off the Keni so I am looking for ways to get around the guide thing. My grandpas brother that lives over there sent him the article that was in the newspaper in Ancorage i believe about that 73" monster that was killed over there. I have still yet to read it and it is sitting on my fridge in an envelope. I will try and remember to bring the article into work with me and scan it in and post it. If my memory serves me correct I want to say the guy was 74. Definatly an awesome accomplishment for that guy.

Gallatin County Sheriff's Deputies arrested a Belgrade man accused of stealing his neighbor's dog and keeping it without food and water.
In December Doug and Cindy Baier reported their 7-month-old German shepherd, Token, missing.
They suspected their neighbor, David Wendel, may have been involved in the dog's disappearance.
Doug Baier told us, "We really feel the dog was over there and we feel that he's going to kill him."
Baier told NBC Montana he has a history with Wendel.
Court records detail tensions between the two dating back to 2010. That is when Wendel allegedly fired a shotgun at Baier.
"I proceeded to watch him take a shotgun and point at me," said Baier.
And he says Wendel has tried to poison area dogs in the past.
"Mr. Wendel has been known to have antifreeze and use the antifreeze to kill dogs in the past," said Baier.
Investigators searching for Token say they found paw prints in the snow that led them to Wendel's home on Rocky Mountain Road in Belgrade.
They say during a search of the property Baier's dog was found in a small workshop where it was only 20 degrees and the dog was without food and water.
Baier says he is happy to have his dog back, but says he's noticed changes in the Token since he's been brought home.
"He's very anxious, he doesn't want to go in confined spaces at all."
Police arrested Wendel. He's been charged with two misdemeanors: one count of theft and one count of animal cruelty.

With 25 to his name, the world's most Michelin starred chef, Joël Robuchon announced a culinary collaboration with 'true friend' and fellow super savvy businessman, Bernard Magrez, Wednesday. The venue: London's installment of his 'La Cuisine' restaurant, suspended between the leafy ground floor 'Atelier' and gilt, cut glass and onyx edged penthouse bar. Checkerpot tiled, with shiny ingredients mounted on racks, it felt oddly tempting to draw parallels between the formally informal decor here and that of a Pizza Express. Alas, big, black, bulbous apple sculptures blocked the view of fellow diners - a fillet of the good, greying and greedy members of the British wine world's glitterati...
Born in 1930's Bordeaux, press pack printings qualify Magrez's determination to succeed as stemming from a ruthless stonemason father. Indeed, the charming, confident, statuesque icon was apparently forced to endure daily hikes to school bearing the sign, 'I am lazy'. According to lucid top wine scribe Robert Joseph, Magrez was awakened to the world of commerce aged 25 whilst taking a bus road-trip around the US, being 'struck by supermarkets'. Back in Bordeaux, he purchased a small Port wine importer, channelling his energies into turning it into the vehicle for a best-selling whisky and budget, branded Bordeaux - an operation eventually bought by 'Castel' seven-years ago.
Whilst still fascinated by quantity, this collector of vineyards continues to harbour the ambitions of one who is 'rich and restless' (Peter Hellman). However, Magrez's focus now concerns solely top quality beverages, resulting in an enviable portfolio comprising Chateaux, Pape Clément, Tour Canet and Fombrauge (allegedly St. Émilion's largest) as well as plantings in Iberia, South America and North Africa.
Before being instructed to take root in a surprisingly warm chair at a long table today named after Magrez's estate, 'Les Grands Chênes' (winner of an '05 competition of 'Bordeaux versus California') smiling and occasionally winking staff plied guests with thickly chipped, joyously fatty slithers of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota. Aided by sticky '07 white Fombrauge (Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Sauvignon Gris) the ruddy, soft, salty meat provided epic culinary foreplay.
The soundtrack of piped whistling mercifully dimmed and everyone's cod liver oil lubed joints folded into place, it was time for lunch proper, prepped by chefs whose full names were embroidered on red-piped black tunics. Under starters orders, a creative statement 'par' Robuchon made a luxurious statement. Initially resembling a tin of boot polish, when its lid was clasped, as a mini closh, free, the 'en surprise' was tense oscietra caviar pressed over sweet crabmeat.
Substantial curls of pink foie gras with truffle discs on firm, but absorbent truffle marinated potato landed next, followed by moist, plancha cooked sea bass with baby leeks, poignantly fresh ginger and bright spiced honey. This trio of dishes were partnered with '05 Pape Clément Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Muscadelle). Powerful, oak bevelled, and despite an illusion of nectarine-like sweetness, dry, with a feint lag of tannin, this struck me as the finest Pessac-Léognan I've ever slurped. It worked best with the smooth bass, but least against the ascerbic dressing of the truffled dish. Frustratingly, its dramatic price tag of over £100+ per bottle is exacerbated by the diminutive quantity in which it is made.
After hearing an engaging sizzling from the open plan kitchen, I delightedly fed on the milk fed result - two fragile looking lamb cutlets. Their cosy, greeting, fatty aromas mingled with a dried posy of fresh thyme and a gooey, roasted garlic bulb. A glorious plop of Robuchon's dare I say infamous, gluttonous, adhesive, mash potato was possessed by butter (against any doctor's advice, I begged seconds). Being soft, with silky tannins (the profile of many of Magrez's wines, beloved by critic, Robert Parker jnr.) the '00 magnum of Pape Clément (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot) enveloped the mashed pat, retaining acidity through to the end. Perhaps this was 2010's most seductive gastronomic combination, so far?
Surprisingly, the riper '03 (from an Impériale, equivalent to eight standard bottles) played out well with a fine, 'Haliborange' vitamin perfumed dessert featuring orange cream and sheerly cocoa rich Araguani chocolate. Adorned with a little flower, and brightly coloured, it was sufficiently inviting aesthetically and decadently perfumed to utterly ruin my Lent promise to avoid chocolate.
Magrez mentioned that with 35 estates, he could satisfy the most demanding of customers. 'As long as we listen to what they say, we won't get it wrong'.
Despite awful, over-stewed tea, and a slightly silly use of attractive but inedible garnishes such as coloured sandy grains to accentuate the pudding, Robuchon's meal had been as delicious as it was meticulous without being desperately filling, with dishes conversing well with Magrez's outwardly modern, but inwardly classic wines.
The duo will continue to 'celebrate their friendship' through food and wine synergy over all Robuchon's restaurants, which currently span eight cities worldwide. From where I sat, their mantra of kudos through quality and quantity seems believable.
A rich chocolate dessert is required. What I should have done is pick up a selection of top quality chocolate from the deli, plucked a half dozen free-range eggs from Highlands Farm and replenished the tin with local flour for the pastry. But I couldn't be arsed.
Instead a Seriously Chocolatey Waitrose Tarte au Chocolat landed in the hand-held basket. A sad sign of living alone but at least I can eat half the tarte in one sitting without being tutted at. And another slice the following morning as the sausages are frying!
Via twitter (another refuge for the company-craving single?) dark chocolate was recommended as an accompaniment to this new Liefmans Fruit Beer. The combination of rich chocolate tarte and the sweet, deeply fruit beer worked nicely. Not quite a perfect match as the complexity of the beer was slightly nullified by the food and the layers of fruit flavours - cherry, raspberry, strawberry - diminished into one sweet, juicy whole. Its a highly drinkable little brew coming in with 4.2% alcohol. The fizz adding to the freshness.
Sweeter than I was expecting, initiating thoughts of a grown-up alcopop, and not at all beery (malty/hoppy). Liefmans Fruit Beer is matured for 18 months on cherries then flavoured with cherry, raspberry, bilberry, elderberry and strawberry according to the rear label although the website lists juniper rather than elderberry). Sugar and Sweetener are also added but it comes in at just 99 calories in the 25cl bottle.
About to be filmed for another series of Come Dine With Me? A Chocolate Tart served with a little bottle of Liefmans Fruit Beer would make a fine dessert. Not that I watch Come Dine With Me at all you understand; that is reserved for the truly sad and lonely...
Liefmans Fruit will be available from all Waitrose stores from March 1st at £1.60 per 25cl bottle.
Liefmans' Fruit is a new introduction to the Liefmans range. It is based on older brother Liefmans Cuvée Brut (formerly Liefmans Kriek), a famous brown beer brewed just once a year and left to mature for 18 months on fresh, whole cherries. The new beer is then blended with fresh, natural fruit juices of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, elderberry and bilberry, before being crown-capped. The result is Liefmans Fruit, a highly refreshing fruit beer that is delightfully sweet, with the sparkle of Champagne and the freshness of a nicely chilled glass of wine.

A worthy effort indeed that I trust you will support.
"We're looking to commission experienced, proven winemakers, who are looking to go it alone, to create stunning new wines for UK wine drinkers. And through the overwhelming support of our key investors, our community of Angel customers, we've been able to pledge a significant sum to launch the project.
We will cover production costs, pay a salary, guarantee an order, market the wines, pay a profit per bottle sold... In other words, provide all the tools an independent winemaker needs to create their own wine, under their own label, without the risks usually associated with being self-employed in the wine world.
All that remains is to raise awareness and get recruiting."

"Most people in my experience do appreciate a steer towards a food and wine combination that works just as if they're cooking something for the first time it helps to follow a recipe. No-one gets riled if you say that mozzarella goes with basil and tomatoes. Why get worked up if you suggest that oysters might go with Muscadet?"
Basically, if you are happy to be guided by recipes or combining certain ingredients why the hostility towards a critics guidance on certain wine and food combinations?
"Of course we need wine critics. And restaurant critics. And movie critics. And critics of the critics! Complex, provocative topics (like wine) will naturally inspire debate... around the dinner table, in the pub, on the internet, wherever. Whether I agree or disagree that a particular wine smells like "freshly cut tomato vines" doesn't matter. What's important is that there is open discussion and dialogue. The value is in the sharing of information. The listener/reader decides for themselves what's useful and what's not."
The last quote from curlyluddite.
Offended? Racist? Personally I think its laugh-out-loud funny. Items like shooting a penguin at a battleship is just gloriously funny.
The 41% Alcohol beer itself is now available in 330ml bottles at £40 each. I seldom buy a full bottle of wine at this price point so a small bottle of beer doesn't stand an earthly... or does it?

"This competition is run by the Union des Oenologues de France and the Loire trade bodies. For the past 15 years, it has rewarded the finest Loire Valley Wines. More than 2,000 wines will be tasted by 300-plus professional tasters."
The gold medal winners were arrayed for sampling at the Palais des Ligers - a little side room to you and me - and while there I conducted a little tweeting. Rather than the 'normal' tasting note I endulged in a little creativity. This was inspired by a chat with Miss Bouquet. We both agreed that using traditional words such as acidity, tannin and so forth are an instant eye-glazing moment for the masses; so I decided to not use them.
As an experiment I'm not too sure that these 'work'; do these notes inspire people to try the wines, more so than the traditional mention of body, length, various flavours? Does the 140 character Twitter restriction mean they are fine for that medium but not suitable for 'proper' notes?
With wine in hand and mouth they made perfect sense at the time...

I'm not the target market for these wines that's for sure. While some may mention the need for a little midriff weight reduction, low calorie wines are not the way forward!
I'm at the pizza Express launch of two Leggara low-alcohol wines; both Italian. The red, a Sangiovese, is from Sicily while the white, a Pinot Bianco, was sourced from up north somewhere (no, not Leeds) but Piedmonte I believe.
Pizza Express gave their wine buyer, Adrian Garforth MW, the brief to create two wines to accompany their low-calorie Leggara pizzas. This range, incidentally, have proved to be hugely popular and are now Pizza Express's 2nd best selling pizzas. Not bad for a low calorie pizza that has a round cut out of the middle filled with a mound of rocket and a tomato!
A small glass of these new wines plus one of the Leggara Pizzas supply just 600 calories. That's 30% fewer calories than a standard pizza; great indeed for a lunch or those watching that midriff more intently than I.
The wines, to repeat, are not aimed at the likes of me (meaning a dedicated wine-person). If you 'go out for a pizza' you don't pick Pizza Express for the wine list (however much Adrian would like you to) but for the quality of the pizza. If you like to drink wine you can - they offer a decent little selection - but for the majority the wine is immaterial, it is simply part of the total ambience.
Pizza Express is right on trend though. Lower alcohol and lower calories are highly placed criteria for many, so offering a crisp white with 9% alcohol or a medium-bodied red with 9.5% alcohol and 1.6 (1.7 for the red) alcohol units per glass is going to resonate with many.
Both wines cost £4.50 for a small glass, £5.90 for a large and £16.55 for a bottle, about standard for a house wine.
The white is fine - picked early to keep the sugar levels down it is of course quite acidic but does have enough weight and flavour in support. The red I thought less of. Little in the way of tannins it lacked a backbone, being too soft and fruity overall for me. It appeared rather sweet too, even with just 4g residual sugar. Interesting, talking to Adrian regarding its development, just by adding 4% Merlot to the Sangiovese "added so much more in terms of flavour". They have made 10,000 cases of the red and 6-7,000 cases of the white.
It's all about "striking the balance" as Adrian put it. A difficult one to pull off I imagine - you have to pick early to lessen the sugars (which turn to alcohol or remain as sweetness) but not so early so as to actually have some flavour and get some colour. There is no de-alcoholising allowed as this harsh process also strips flavour. In addition to keeping the calorie count low you have to watch the price; paying a premium for grapes that are not totally ripe for example. But Pizza Express have pulled it off producing two highly drinkable wines with flavour, but low in alcohol and calories.
There will be a rosé, also made from Sangiovese, currently in development and due for a spring/summer release.

Last Tuesday saw me padding around in Lords Cricket Ground. We (myself and Densie the Wine Sleuth) hit on a little patch of red wines from the Southern reaches of France, all grouped on the Wine & Dine table. These are described as a "showcase of sophisticated wines for accompanying sit-down meals, which are, typically, served at table with food, thus defining a very different experience" (when compared to the Easy Drinking, informal wines for example). Perhaps this is why I enjoy them so much - their superb food-matching credentials
The Estates Tamarius red and Balmettes white are both stocked by The Winey at £7.99 a bottle; the L'Envie is going to be more expensive.

Not a dish I'd make that often, the diet ain't that great, but lapping up a tasty rich dish once in a while can't hurt (can it?). It's all part of the challenge put out some time ago by The Cheese Lover to find the ultimate Macaroni and Cheese recipe. A local dimension earns extra points but sadly a really local cheese was next to impossible to find; the wine though was local...
A new-to-me vineyard and wine - Oakengrove Vineyard Dry White 2006. It's an Oxfordshire based winery although the basic website is short on specifics mentioning that they are "a small family run vineyard nestled in the beautiful Chiltern Hills of South Oxfordshire".
Only this one wine is available at present (local Waitrose stores stock it) although plantings of Pinot Noir are coming on stream for a rosé wine to be released in the summer of 2010.
And with the macaroni cheese? Selected for its high acidity (you get high acidity in wine from cool climate regions; how could England be anything else but cool!) to cut through the richness of the cream and cheese the Oakengrove worked beautifully. Not 'complimentary'; more a delicious palate cleanser leaving you wanting more of both the wine and the food. The lemon edge to the wine linking with the lemon zest topping to the macaroni.

Andrew BarrowScribblings Rating - 92/100 [4 out of 5]
For a highly drinkable, highly enjoyed wine the red wins. It wasn't however my favourite match with the food. The red turned softer and hugely drinkable when combined with the food; the white however was the palate cleanser leaving the mouth crying out for replenishment.
Chapters include an in-depth history of the industry, from pre-Roman Britain to the present day, charting the progress from the birth of the modern commercial wine industry post-war, and more latterly the surge of growth in the last decade. There is also a critical look into the crystal ball at the future of the industry and tackles the topical subject of the effects climate change on the UK's viticulture.
Viticulture, vinification and grape varieties are also covered in detail. The definitive list of almost all vineyards in England, Wales, Ireland and the Channel Islands provides the most comprehensive record available - extensively researched and featuring useful information on each. Additional lists identifying the organic and biodynamic vineyards, vineyards of 4 hectares and above and a breakdown of vineyards by country and size are also included, along with chapters recording the competition successes over the years and useful contacts relevant to the industry.

It's all too easy to laugh off the effects of alcohol and forget that drink can put young people in vulnerable situations.
Recognising that alcohol is a serious issue and talking about the good and the bad sides can help young people stay safe, confident and responsible as they grow as teenagers.
Comedy legend Bill Bailey discusses his involvement with the Alcohol. It's no Joke campaign and shares his experiences of booze as a teenager. Bill talks about related dangers such as drugs, unprotected sex or becoming a victim of anti social behaviour.
The aim of this film is to show that alcohol can make young people vulnerable. Although parents worry about unprotected sex, drugs and crime, drinking alcohol is often not top of the list. Alcohol can be the thing which leaves young people vulnerable and in situations they might not know how to deal with.
This film is the one of a series featuring other comedians including Jo Brand, Russell Kane and Josie Long and is part of the build-up to a big campaign launch in mid-January.
In addition there is a 'behind the scenes' making off video:
There is so much info - ratings on wines of the year, regional maps, grape variety details, wine shops (in South Africa), styles and vintages, wine tour companies, wine-focused restaurants, wine land accommodation - that the guide to deciphering the listings doesn't appear till page 134!
Symbols for domain bottling, open for tastings, accommodation, other tourist attractions, picnic areas and disabled access ply for your attention with others showing if the wine is screwcapped, good value, organic and so on.
Take the Journey's End wines reviewed yesterday; the level of data supplied is frightening. Platter's Guide tells you that tastings are available by appointment, that the owner is the Gabb family, that the wine maker is Leon Esterhuizen (since January 2005), that the vineyard manager is Paul Fourie (since January 2008), that the estate has 30 hectares under vine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc), that 80% of production is red wine... exhausting...
But for anyone interested in touring the South African wine lands totally invaluable.
The guide gives the Journey's End range high marks:
The Merlot four Stars "Mint & eucalyptus dominate green, herbal notes on 06; drier, tighter & less textured than savoury, elegant 05. 18mths oak, 30% new"
Chardonnay four stars plus "Smoky & earthy, subtle citrus highlights; richness from 9 months brl/lees-ageing lifted by zesty acidity, salty tail. 07 (four stars) similar to generous 06, perhaps less elegant; also natural ferm."
Cabernet Sauvignon 3 stars Pepper & pimento on shy-fruited 05, with restrained tannins. Shiraz 2 stars plus Gamey forest floor aromas on muscular 05. Haystack chardonnay 3 stars plus Smoky toffee & pineapple aromas, 08 neat & compact, fresh and persistent, new-oak element well judged.
"Platter's Wine Guide, South Africa's leading wine annual and one of its best-selling book titles, turns 30 in November this year with the unveiling of the 2010 edition. To mark this significant milestone, we're taking the guide's traditional strengths - credibility, breadth of coverage, readability, ease of use - and combining these with fully revised, up-to-the-minute content designed to appeal to everyone, from the novice wine drinker to the connoisseur."
John Platter's Wine Guide is not available via amazon, but you can purchase direct from South Africa via the John Platter Wine Guide website. Price is $13.28 / €8.85 excluding shipping.
"Journey's End Estate is a stunning boutique winery and vineyard located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. In 1995 the Gabb family (originally from Shropshire - Roger Gabb was previously the founder and MD of Western Wines) purchased this picturesque farm and the surrounding 20ha of vines. Their aim is to create top-quality single-vineyard, hand-crafted wines that are true to the terroir of the vineyards, whilst ensuring the local environment and nature are protected and preserved. The estate benefits from south-facing slopes and cool coastal breezes."
The Journey's End wine range is available from the various merchants as listed but are also available direct from Journeys-End-Wine.co.uk.
This was served with a couple of slices of warm Cheddar and Walnut and Sausage Rolls and a spoonful of macerated grapes. A nice little match although go easy with the grapes as the sweetness is a little overpowering. The sausage meat - from Porkinson Suffolk Ale and Herb Bangers - helped that earthy edge to become more expressive and forceful; nice indeed. The Sausage Roll recipe, by Tristan Welch of London's Launceston Place restaurant, is in the February 2010 issue of Delicious.

The powerful, ripe black fruit in this wine is lush and fleshy on both the nose and palate, with lots of cassis backed by dark chocolate. Eucalyptus, green pepper, herbal spice and underlying mintyness come through on the palate backed by sweet almonds. This is a voluptuously rich wine but it is not over jammy and the mid-acidity brightens the fruit and gives length to the wine. It has lots of ageing potential.

The Journey's End range continues with a Chardonnay (£12.99), another Chard labelled "Haystack" (£9.99) (neither of which, to be honest, I took to) and a 'yet-to-be-broached' Cape Doctor Shiraz 2005 that comes with a £16.99 price tag.

Approximately 50 Occupy Cincinnati protesters attended yesterday's City Council meeting to testify against Piatt Park's 10 p.m. closing time. Negotiations between the city and protesters is ongoing, according to reports, but no agreement was made yesterday after protesters turned down an offer of a new place to stay overnight and the city declined to let the group stay in the park under new restrictions.
Councilman Chris Bortz and Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz, both of whom have connections to property along the park, have brought up the possibility that if protesters aren't removed that someday the city will have to let the Ku Klux Klan camp out. Ghiz yesterday was criticized by protesters for posting on Facebook the private information of two people who wrote emails criticizing her (more on that here). CityBeat reflected on the situation again here.
Leslie Ghiz has angered some Occupy Cincinnati supporters by posting on her Facebook page the home and email address of one individual and the email address of another who criticized her for pressuring City Manager Milton Dohoney to kick the protesters out of the park. The two individuals wrote to Ghiz's campaign, according to Ghiz.
Former Bengal Carson Palmer was freed by the team yesterday when it traded him to the Oakland Raiders for two draft picks. Palmer had threatened to retire his he wasn't traded, and the Bengals secured a considerable package of picks in return: the Raiders' first-round pick next year and either a first- or second-round pick in 2013, depending on the team's performance with Palmer.
CityBeat's Halloween beat writer Jeff Beyer wrote a tale of horror and redemption for this week's issue, which just so happens to involve a once-cherished hero (Palmer) returning to wreak havoc on the city for confining him: The Pantom of Paul Brown Stadium: a Love Story.
Uh oh, the owners of buildings adjacent to Piatt Park are angry and they're not going to take it anymore. They reportedly met with city officials yesterday led by Arn Bortz, former mayor and Towne Properties partner/Councilman Chris Bortz's super-rich uncle, to ask that they be removed. Bortz also accused protesters of defecating in the park and abusing people walking through, both well-known annoyances for neo-fascists.
Here's how The Enquirer describes an Ohio Supreme Court decision allowing Democrats to challenge a ridiculous Republican attempt to unfairly redraw Congressional districts: "Court ruling throws 2012 elections into chaos." Here's the same report by WLWT, minus the drama: "Ohio Supreme Court Allows Redistricting Challenge."
A misleading advertisement by pro-SB 5 group Building a Better Ohio has been pulled from nearly 30 TV stations, including two in Cincinnati. Here's the original report about Building a Better Ohio splicing the an ad created by We Are Ohio. The Columbus Dispatch's "Ad Watch" had already designated the Building a Better Ohio version as "misleading" because Republican spending cuts are largely to blame for any firefighter layoff decisions local governments are facing.
Covington City Commissioner Steve Frank is getting a little bit of local coverage after posting the following to his Facebook account on Sunday: "Turn out the lights on the Occupiers, I feel like going Taliban on them!!!" Frank yesterday explained in a grammatically challenged response the wildly circular logic behind his statement: "The taliban, through there (sic) eyes are resisting occupation. I'm resisting the Occupiers. I figured that the irony would be lost on most of the dummies in Occupation Nation that oppose the war because they see us as occupiers. I happen to oppose the war too but for highly different grounds."
Not that anyone really gives a [expletive] what Hank Williams, Jr., thinks about politics, but the country singer has gotten himself canned from Monday Night Football for saying insensitive things about subjects he doesn't know that much about. Williams yesterday told Fox & Friends that John Boehner's golf game with President Obama was "one of the biggest political mistakes ever," comparing it to "Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu," and then explaining that Obama and Joe Biden are "the enemy."
Cleveland officials are apparently trying to outlaw flash mobs, describing them as violent, unruly terrorizing of communities and family-friendly events. That's not how AT&T presents them in this cell phone commercial.
The Enquirer over the weekend published a thoughtful story on contemporary African-American leaders, noting that it was less than 50 years ago when such discriminated-against individuals were busy working for the not-so-inalienable rights afforded by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As per usual, cincinnati.com commenters overwhelmed the post-story discussion with blame for affirmative action, black fathers and various demands for a similar story about today's white leaders. (Will this one do?)

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - A Little Rock pet owner scored a big win in court as she fought to keep her pot-bellied pig at home. This has been one of our most viewed stories on our website.
THV 11 first told our viewers about this story back in early May when the court battle began over this pet pot-bellied pig. It all wrapped up during a trial in Little Rock District Court on Thursday, with the pig known as W.P Sooie staying put with his Little Rock family.
After court Thursday, THV 11 caught up with Jyll Latham and her Vietemese pot bellied pig, W.P. Sooie. Latham was feeling elated, knowing she can now keep the little guy at home.
"I am just so pleased and so excited that Judge Levertt saw it exactly as we had read it from the very beginning," Latham said.
Judge Mark Leverett ruled Thursday Latham was not guilty of an alleged city code violation.
The city argued that it's illegal having a hoofed animal like Latham's pig so close to her neighbors, but the city also has a separate part of code in the books, which grants exemptions for these kinds of pigs. The judge found the two ordinances conflicting as Latham argued in her case.
"There was no 'see the next ordinance' or 'reference footnote there.' It specifically said they are allowed," Latham said.
Latham said that she keeps her pet pig inside and feels he's just like one of her dogs. But, the arrival of W.P. Sooie didn't sit well with Neighbor Donald Rawls, who testified in the trial. In part of his testimony, he complained about the clean-up of the pig's waste.
"She's not cleaning up properly," Rawls said. "I'm through with talking to her. I tried that already. I might have to try something else."
Whether he'll take Latham to court in a separate case, Rawls doesn't know yet. Latham feels there's no case to fight.
"Do I do it every day? No. Do I do it on a regular basis? Absolutely," Latham said.
She's picking up after her pet, who is not going anywhere now but home.
We should note the clean-up issue was not part of the charges against Latham in the trial; it was just something that came up during testimony. Latham said beyond that one neighbor, she hasn't received any other complaints about her pig.
As for the city ordinances raised in this case, we don't know yet if the city plans to clear up the conflict raised by the judge.
