Despite new highs on Wall St., small business USA continues to experience survival challenges. Keep in mind, this is the same small business that is the economic growth engine of the country. New companies the size of General Electric do not sprout overnight. All business was once small business.
One of the challenges continually faced by small business is dealing with creditors. Unlike a large company, the small business cannot afford to swing and miss very often, if at all, since their cash flow position is often at the margin. I recently encountered a business that was delinquent on rent and sales taxes and was about to be sued by another company for services rendered. Another owner said to me, "that company nearly knocked us out" when their supplier's product proved unreliable. This company was being sued by their supplier for non-payment. The problem was that supplier indirectly caused the non-payment. In both of these cases, the juggling act eventually led to legal action, which unfortunately is becoming more common.
Before non-payment leads to legal action, some small companies react by paying the creditor who makes the most noise or is the most persistent. While that might alleviate the immediate stress, it may not ultimately help the small enterprise by utilizing cash flow most effectively. Prioritizing debt repayment thus emerges as yet another skill required by small business. I suggest devising a plan to create these priorities. Consider the following factors:
- How many days is the debt past due?
- Has a collection notice been issued by the creditor?
- Is a collection agency assigned?
- Has a civil action been initiated?
Of greatest importance in this analysis is TIME. At each point in this continuum, the business owner will have progressively less time. If the debt is overdue by 90 days, the situation is starting to get warm. By the time of civil action initiation, the kettle is boiling. Even if a lawsuit has been filed, the defendant may not be served with the suit for a week or longer depending on local conditions. At that juncture, the 30-day clock starts to respond to the suit. Failure to respond could lead to a judgment in favor of the creditor and the potential for garnishment and asset seizure.
When creating the plan to manage debt priorities it is vital to identify the business impact of each.
- How important is the relationship with the supplier?
- If the supplier relationship were severed, could another supplier serve as a suitable replacement?
- What laws exist in your state regarding landlord/tenant relationship? What does your lease say?
- How strict are utilities in your area?
- How does your city or state tax authority handle delinquencies?
The juggling of priorities, not just debt priorities, is an ever-present challenge for small business. Once the business prioritizes its debt obligations, it should formulate the plan and begin dialogue with creditors. If the plan reveals challenges regardless of how debts are prioritized, it may be the moment to ask for professional assistance from a debt restructuring consultant. The ultimate goal is to preserve the business.

WPA Poster
The WPA would sometimes put together exhibits to highlight their work, no doubt (in part) to answer their critics' charges of "boondoggling." I don't know when and where the above picture was taken, but a
Baltimore Sun
article from May 16, 1940 reports on such an exhibit at the Fifth Regiment Armory in Baltimore. We learn that WPA workers performed their work while the public visited the exhibit, that there were tour guides to show the public around, and that the Maryland WPA Orchestra would play music at various times during the day. ("Thirty WPA Projects Open For Inspection Next Week," p. 6)
Other WPA Projects in Maryland--Page 1
(See More Photos Below!)
As I've written and shown elsewhere on this website, the
of the work that the WPA performed was mind-boggling. Generally speaking, the CCC was focused on jobless young men and forestry work; and the PWA was focused on funding very large projects (e.g., the Hoover Dam), with or without the assistance of the jobless. The accomplishments of these and similar programs were (
and still are
) of immense, incalculable value to the country. But no Roosevelt-era program came anywhere near the variety of the WPA. As you will see below and on other pages of this website (or in books, photograph collections, and other websites) the WPA engaged in archaeological digs, theater plays, historical preservation projects, writing projects, art projects, music projects, toy repair, food distribution, work in & around military installations, sewing projects, research projects, park & recreation projects, airport development, nursery schools, adult & youth education classes, disaster relief work, environmental conservation projects, museum & library projects, and more, as well as, of course, their more well-known infrastructure work.
It is worth repeating here, a quote I have elsewhere on this website:
"Never before in the history of the human race has a public works program, whose principal object was the mitigation of need due to unemployment, reached the magnitude of the Work Projects Administration
This is true, however you measure it--by persons employed, money expended, or volume of results."
(Joanna C. Colcord, Director of the Charity Organization Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, in
The WPA and Federal Relief Policy
, New York: Russell Sage Foundation, 1943, p. 15)

1. Orchestra
The Maryland WPA Orchestra was conducted by Emile S. Odend'hal. This picture is in the WPA photograph collection at the University of Maryland College Park Archives, with the description
"WPA Orchestra, Marine Hospital."
In the narrative below, you will see that the Maryland WPA Orchestra played at the Marine Hospital after the war started, as well as other military installations/facilities. However, I don't know where the Marine Hospital was located.
Brief WPA Orchestra History (based on several
Baltimore Sun
Baltimore Sun
article from July 9, 1936 informs us that Emile S. Odend'hal--conductor of the Maryland WPA Orchestra--was
"a veteran conductor of theater orchestras in Baltimore"
and that the
"popularity of the orchestra has developed rapidly since starting a series of Sunday afternoon concerts last March at the Baltimore Museum of Art."
We also learn that concerts were
at Patterson Park
Musicians for the Maryland WPA Orchestra were initially limited to those on relief but, after another grant of funding, Odend'hal explained the orchestra's improved potential:
"Now...we can draw from the unemployed
(there were technical differences between being "on relief" and simply being "unemployed").
There are numerous string players available, but brass is scarce...The orchestra has loopholes to be filled in. I could use a trombone, an oboe and a French horn. I would like to see twenty-five men in the organization."
("Enlarging of WPA Orchestra Being Planned By Conductor," p. 22)
An interesting article appeared a few days later on July 13, 1936. It's interesting for two reasons. First, it gives us a taste of the hardship people go through when they can't find work. And second, it is evidence (which we can add to a universe of other evidence) that the unemployed are not intrinsically lazy, and not out of work because they're inherently flawed workers. The article begins,
"Nine discouraged musicians, who, during the depression, had pawned their instruments and gone on relief, are getting a new start in the Baltimore WPA orchestra...And although the orchestra has only been in existence a few months, the musicians who compose it are working with the devotion and esprit de corps of a veteran organization..."
Odend'hal claimed that in
"all his experience...he has never directed a more earnest group."
Also, we learn that the orchestra played on the radio
on Wednesdays from 4-4:30pm.
("Lauds Musicians In WPA Orchestra," p. 4).
***As an aside, can you imagine how the jobless musicians must have felt being a part of the WPA orchestra, playing before eager audiences, and receiving a small paycheck...after having pawned their instruments and gone on relief? This is a big benefit of a WPA or WPA-type program--it maintains skills and rejuvenates a battered spirit
By December of 1936, the orchestra had increased to 21 musicians, but an order from D.C. to cut back on
"white-collar" projects
, effective December 15, forced a reduction to 18. ("WPA Band Forced To Drop 3 Players," December 7, 1936, p. 7). You see here a (probable) example of the sometimes schizophrenic handling of the WPA on the part of the Roosevelt administration. On the one hand, they wanted to provide jobs to people who couldn't find work in the private sector. On the other hand, they (
of them anyway) didn't want to be accused of spending too much money and stepping on the toes of the private sector. To people paying attention to the current political situation, this economic schizophrenia will sound eerily familiar. Many scholars and commentators have viewed this constant adding and subtracting from the WPA (recall that the orchestra had been permitted to add more musicians just a few months earlier) as a hindrance to full economic recovery. In their view--which I share--the WPA was not allowed to mature to its full potential. This hindered the ability of the WPA program to restore consumer purchasing power & consumer confidence to a level substantial enough to end the Depression.
On August 11, 1938, a typical announcement was posted in the
Baltimore Sun
"WPA Concert Tonight: The Works Progress Administration Concert Orchestra will give a two-hour concert at 8 o'clock tonight in Patterson Park. Emile S. Odend'hal will conduct"
(p. 5).
On September 1, 1939, the
Baltimore Sun
published a letter from a reader who was disappointed by an apparent reduction in the orchestra's playing schedule:
"...These concerts given by the Baltimore WPA Orchestra have been thoroughly enjoyable and I can see no reason for discontinuing them. True, the audiences have not been so large, but they have been extremely appreciative. Lately the attendance has increased considerably and the programs have improved...Why take away one of the few cultural advantages offered to Baltimoreans?"
("A Good Word For The WPA Orchestra Concerts," p. 12)
A September 14, 1941 announcement in the
Baltimore Sun
(p. M8) gives us an idea of the type of musical selections the orchestra played (this one at the Baltimore Museum of Art). Among the numbers listed were
"Overture to Oberon" by Von Weber, "Two Oriental Dances" by Crist, "Nocturnal Piece" by Schumann, and "The Fortune Teller" by Herbert.
By March of 1942, the Maryland WPA Orchestra was playing for soldiers as part of the war effort. It was also being defended by State WPA Administrator, Harry D. Williar, from a political attack from Republican Congressional Representative John Taber, who accused the WPA's nation-wide music program of
"fiddling around."
Williar stated,
"I see no reason for cutting it off. In my judgment it is a very creditable project and meets a decided need in the community."
At this point, the Maryland WPA Orchestra was playing at various military venues (e.g., Fort Meade and a Marine Hospital), as well as venues for the elderly and the ill. It was also still giving performances at the Baltimore Museum of Art. ("WPA Orchestra's Schedule Here 'Not 100 P.C. Military,'"
Baltimore Sun
, March 13, 1942, p. 17). As late as June 1942, the orchestra was also still giving performances at Patterson Park. ("WPA Orchestra Concert,"
Baltimore Sun
, June 25, 1942, p. 5).
I'm note sure when the Maryland WPA Orchestra was officially terminated, but their performances at the Baltimore Museum of Art were discontinued in the fall of 1942. And of course, the WPA--in its entirety--was closed at the end of June 1943. But there's reason to be optimistic about the fortunes of the members of the orchestra. The same
Baltimore Sun
article that noted the cessation of WPA concerts at the Baltimore Museum of Art also noted that public demand for concerts had greatly increased. (Weldon Wallace, "War Stimulates Public's Music Appreciation Here," December 24, 1942, p. 4). Hopefully, the jobless musicians who joined the Maryland WPA Orchestra secured employment in other orchestras.
The Maryland WPA Orchestra gave hope, a job, and skill-maintenance to out-of-work musicians. The orchestra also gave performances on the radio, as well as years of live performances to thousands of Marylanders, soldiers, the elderly, and the ill. To my way of thinking, this was a better outcome than jobless musicians pawning their instruments for food.

2. Food, Nutrition, & Health
The description for this photo merely reads,
"WPA Food Distribution,"
so it's impossible to know exactly what's going on in the picture. However, according to the U.S. Government's
Final Report on the WPA Program, 1935-43
, across the nation
"Surplus supplies of food, clothing, and other commodities donated or purchased by Federal, State, or other agencies were transported, warehoused, and distributed through the assistance of WPA projects to needy persons, public institutions, or other WPA projects. At first, such supplies were often distributed to relief clients at the central depot where they were stored; but many people lived a long distance from the central depot, and so a delivery system, using WPA workers, was set up in many localities. This method of distribution of foods was later supplanted to a great extent by the food stamp plan, in which regular grocery stores were used in the distribution of surplus food supplies to the needy"
(p. 69, the report can be downloaded
This picture shows lunch being served to
"undernourished school children"
in Charles County. Photo provided courtesy of the Enoch Pratt Free Library. In Maryland, the WPA served over 1.3 million school lunches (Federal Works Agency,
Final Report on the WPA Program, 1935-1943
, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1946, p. 134).
back to top menu
In the 1930s there was an education problem in America:
"Many people have had to leave school early in life to earn a living. In some rural areas the schools have been too few and too remote from the homes of many of the children whom they were supposed to serve; and in some parts of the country there have not been enough schools for Negroes. Large numbers of elderly people, both immigrant and native, have never gone to school at all; many immigrants, unable to read and write the language of this country have been unable to obtain citizenship; and vocational training opportunities for adults have been inadequate. Adult education of various kinds has been offered by private educational institutions, but only in a few places has it been part of the public school system. It was to meet the needs of people unable to pay for these services, and to provide work-relief for unemployed teachers, that adult education projects were organized in 1933 under the FERA and were carried on by the WPA. There were no fees and the classes were held in public buildings..."
The WPA met this educational need with
"literacy and citizenship classes; vocational training; parent and homemaking education; workers' education; general adult education; correspondence courses; and education in avocational and leisure-time activities."
(Federal Works Agency,
Final Report on the WPA Program, 1935-1943
, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1946, pp. 60-61)
In 1936, Aubrey Williams--Assistant Administrator for the WPA and head of the National Youth Administration--stated:
"In our efforts to relieve distress we have experimented with special classes for adults. The results have been so successful and such a demand has been created that it is difficult to see how this type of educational work can fail to find a permanent place in the field of education from now on, providing eventually for the steady employment of many teachers."
("WPA Teacher Aid Called Blessing,"
Baltimore Sun
, February 9, 1936, p. 6)
By the end of 1936, there were 115 jobless teachers brought aboard the WPA's education program in Maryland, and nearly 5,000 people were enrolled in 154 classes in October of 1936. During this same time frame, nationally, the WPA had employed
"about 34,000 teachers."
("4,924 Persons Enroll In Education Program,"
Baltimore Sun
, December 13, 1936, p. 15)

4. Sewing Projects
This picture was taken in the Hyattsville Armory in Prince George's County in December 1937. It was Maryland WPA project #7703, and is described as
"Dresses and toys made on sewing project."
The WPA's sewing program--designed to give jobs to unemployed women--was prolific, to say the least. Across the country, over half a billion garments and other articles were produced. In Maryland, over 1.9 million garments and other articles were produced. These articles and garments were distributed to those in need.
(Federal Works Agency,
Final Report on the WPA Program, 1935-1943
, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1946, p. 134). With respect to toys, the WPA made and repaired toys for distribution or loan (there was a sort of "toy library" system where toys could be borrowed) to children of low-income families. For example, it was reported in December of 1940, that the WPA would, nationally, distribute about 2,000,000 toys
"from its workshops to underprivileged children this Christmas"
("WPA To Distribute Toys,"
Baltimore Sun
, December 15, 1940, p. 11).
Some probably called this a "boondoggle," but it gave jobs to unemployed folks and it certainly made Christmas a little more enjoyable for children who otherwise might not have had much, if anything, under their Christmas trees.

5. Book Repair
The description card for this photo reads,
"Maryland WPA Worker On Book Renovation Projects--Almost 800,000 public school and public library volumes have been renovated by Work Projects Administration workers in Maryland from 1935, when the program started, to January 1, 1940."
The description for this photo reads,
"Library Project #123...The second step in bookmending is sewing through with clamp and drill when center sections of books are broken..."
This project was at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, in 1936.
The description for this photo reads,
"Bookmending Exhibit of Project 7036 (Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore, Maryland) at the Fifth Annual National Folk Festival held May 6th, 7th, and 8th 1938, Constitution Hall, Washington, D.C."
back to top menu
6. Braille
The description for this photo only offers,
"Braille writing at Enoch Pratt Library."
However, from a
Baltimore Sun
article from June 13, 1938, we know that Solomon Sibel, a blind man, directed nineteen women on the WPA project to transcribe books into braille ("Blind Man Directs 38 Eyes In Braille Transcriptions," p. 16).
back to top menu
7. Research Studies
No description (other than the placard you see in the picture) came with this photo. Across America, however, we know the WPA employed jobless "white collar" workers to conduct many types of research studies. Some of these studies involved census records, unemployment, income taxes, public health, consumer purchases, criminal justice, and farm labor ("Over 700 Studies Under Way By WPA,"
Baltimore Sun
, January 12, 1936, p. 16).
back to top menu
8. Theater
I'm fairly certain that Maryland never participated in the WPA's Federal Theater Project, a project that employed thousands of musicians in at least
"twenty-eight states, the District of Columbia and New York city"
(Paul W. Ward, "Theater Chief Of WPA Leads All Producers,"
Baltimore Sun
, August 2, 1936, p. 2). Still, Maryland was visited by the Federal Theater Project--in the form of a Washington, D.C. vaudeville unit--on at least one occasion. Apparently, two Citizens' Military Training Camps (CMTC's) at Fort Meade were behaving aggressively towards one another on their last day of training, and officials enlisted the aid of the vaudeville unit to keep the young men occupied (***CMTC's were programs that existed between World War I and World War II, that gave a small degree of military training to citizens). The strategy worked, and the young C.M.T.C. men--who actually participated in some acts with the vaudeville unit--went to bed that evening happy and without incident. ("WPA Actors Avert 'Ruction' In Camp,"
Baltimore Sun
, August 6, 1936, p. 22).
Baltimore Sun
article that highlighted the evening at Fort Meade, also reported that
"The WPA actors, two of them women, were all on relief when they were given work by the Federal project"
and that they had spent
years searching for a job.
"The youngsters have been given new hope by this temporary work. With the money they are now earning some of them are taking lessons in new routines and they have hopes of seeing Broadway's floodlights yet."
Interestingly, the article also noted that an assistant supervisor for the vaudeville group--Tefft Johnson--was involved in the early years of Hollywood (see his Internet Movie Database page

11.24.2010 / The Huskers take on CU for the Big 12 North Championship. Posting by Greg Sharpe, The Voice of the Huskers
Last Saturday was disappointing on many fronts for Husker fans, but that was last weekend and now the full attention needs to be transferred to the Colorado Buffaloes. The Huskers need a victory on Friday in order to win the north and play for a Big 12 Championship in Texas next week.
Colorado has found their groove after dismissing Dan Hawkins as their coach two weeks ago. The Buffaloes are coming off of back to back wins over Iowa State and K-State. The interesting part of the Hawkins dismissal is that his son Cody, the team's quarterback, has played very well the last two weeks.
The Buffaloes have a balanced offensive attack led in part by running back Rodney Stewart who dashed for nearly 200 yards against Kansas State. The strength of CU's offense is their line. It is led by tackle Nate Solder. The 6-9 senior is a finalist for the Outland Trophy given each year to the top lineman in college football.
Colorado has had trouble stopping teams, witness the 36 points that K-State tallied last week. The question of the week is whether CU will have to face Taylor Martinez. The Husker signal caller is not only suffering from a bad ankle but also from turf toe which can be very painful.
Like the Iowa State game earlier this month, it could be up to Cody Green to get the job done against the Buffaloes on offense. Despite CU's talent on offense it's hard to imagine the Blackshirts getting pushed around.
This game will be the final Big 12 Regular Season contest for both schools and with CU trying to become bowl eligible expect a great effort from Colorado. I would expect the Huskers to also be fired up and to take out some frustration from the last game. Should be fun…
Happy Thanksgiving and Go Big Red!!!
Any predictions for the game this weekend? Come on Huskers fans, post your comments NOW!

A judge dispensed mercy when he joined a search and found an escaped youth who was wandering shoeless in frigid weather.
Columbiana County Juvenile Court Judge Thomas Baronzzi on Tuesday put on his hunting clothes and joined the search for the boy, who had bolted from his court.
The 17-year-old had been brought back to the county from a youth-detention facility in Canton.
As he left the juvenile court building in Lisbon, he took off his issued synthetic shoes and ran off at about 10:30 a.m.
"He was handcuffed so I thought 'He won't go far,'" said Judge Baronzzi, who is also the county's probate court judge.
The youth's hands were cuffed in front of him as he walked through creeks in his socks.
The judge said that at one point during the search, the youth got into an unlocked motor home. As police moved in, he dropped out of the bottom of the home, took off running and got away.
Judge Baronzzi said he waited for a call that the boy had been captured, but the call didn't come so he went looking.
The judge checked several places where the boy had been seen. He saw the youth on private property near the entrance to the Columbiana County Career and Technical Center at 9364 state Route 45.
"I told him there was no place to go," the judge said.
The youth was upset.
The judge said that the boy had his arms wrapped around his waist to cover up the handcuffs.
The judge told the youth he might die out in cold.
He asked the boy to get in his car, but the juvenile took off again. The temperature was about 20 degrees.
The judge caught up with him and asked him to get in the car. The youth did and they went back to the court.
"When we got there, he got out and thanked me," he said.
When the boy finally gave up, his body temperature was 95 degrees and he was going into hypothermia.
Judge Baronzzi said that he may have to recuse himself from hearing the case.
The youth had been charged with striking a staff worker and a sheriff's deputy at the Canton facility. The original charge against him was not disclosed. The youth was ordered returned to the Canton facility. He will now face a third-degree felony charge of escape.
Good job Baronzzi! Guess that's what they county voted for :Lisbon Blue Devil! He knows his old High School where he works at and the area. But one thing Republicans what if was something worse than someone escaping from High School Court House! Like a TERRIOST coming into said School! Seems are security isn't up to par! Who's to blame? I know it's not the Judge who caught said person! It must be all Mason Deputies who watch said school! See what happen when you hire CULTS COULBIANA COUNTY!!!!! But what's new .
"The youth was upset."
Oh my, the youth was upset. Poor thing. What a injustice there doing do this kid. I'm sure the staff and police at the courthouse will be sued for this youth escaping and going into hypothermia.
Teenager do not think correctly ...A honest and good mentor for the young boy...and kudos for the judge!
This Is The First Judge Ive Ever Heard Ever Stepped Out Of His Court Room To Help anyone let alone a Very Troubled Youth. Great Job Your Honor. Thank You For Caring.
The Judge shows that he really cares about ,the troubled youth of today.Great job Judge Baronzzi.
What cult are you referring to? You should go back on your medication soon.
Next time you post, try using grammar and spelling that humans can understand.
Kind of makes me wonder what was going on at the facility in Canton that this kid was willing to risk so much to avoid going back there. Hope the matter is investigated completely--if he is just a bad egg, so be it, but still.......
madisoncolmon :
So you have something against this teen if he indeed is white? I see no color mentioned .
Wow....I'm impressed. In our county (Mahoning) this child would have been chased (maybe) by a bailiff. Our juvenile justice judge rarely attends hearings.
great job here is a judge that is worth being reelected
justsayin,What Cult? You got to be kidding me! The Mason, Eastern Star Cult that run this screwed up County! As far as grammar and spelling you better look at your stage name. There isn't such a word IDOIT!
mason Eastern Star Cult of Columbiana County
Another fine example of our youth in the Valley!

Andy Scherrer: Karma
Andy Scherrer (tenor sax)
Wrong Is Right (TCB 2830)
Andy Scherrer (tenor sax),
Domenic Landolf, JŁrg Bucher (tenor saxes, bass clarinets), Bill Carrothers (piano), Fabian Gisler (bass), Drť Pallemaerts (drums).
Composed by Drť Pallemaerts.
Recorded: ZŁrich, Switzerland, March 27-28, 2007
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
An impressionistic, Bill Evans-kind of chord progression, with a chorus that placidly ascends to the clouds, "Karma" is a fragile piece of musical poetry set to 3/4 time. If that's all there were to Drť Pallemaerts's fine ballad, it would still merit mention, but Andy Scherrer's estimable ensemble propels the performance to a level of excellence.
Scherrer seem less concerned with notes and scales than with applying meaningful shapes to his tenor solo: searching, yearning and emoting his way through an ethereal showing. Carrothers and Gisler follow Scherrer's lead and also provide unhurried, soulful notes. Gisler's bass in particular sings seemingly on intuition alone.
"Karma" means destiny or fate. As interpreted by Andy Scherrer and his cohorts, it also means sublime, heartfelt post-bop.

According to CBC Sports, Mark McMorris of Regina, Saskatchewan has won Canada's first medal at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
McMorris won a bronze medal in the men's slopestyle snowboarding competition after posting a score of 88.75 points. McMorris touched down on his second jump, but had an excellent third and final jump to post a solid result.
McMorris was also facing some significant adversity because he was competing with a broken rib which he suffered at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado in January.
American Sage Kotsenburg won the gold medal with a score of 93.5 points and Staale Sandbech of Norway won the silver medal with a score of 91.75 points.
Men's slopestyle snowboarding which was making its debut at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, was the first Olympic event in Sochi where medals were decided.
On Sunday, Spencer O'Brien of Courtenay, British Columbia will be competing in the women's slopestyle snowboarding final. O'Brien placed in third place in heat one of Thursday's qualification round.

The career of teen heartthrobs are notoriously short and in the eyes of one reporter, Justin Bieber's time is up. On Monday, Jan. 6, Page Six's Richard Johnson reported on the dismal showing of Justin's "Believe" concert film and even declared him the "Vanilla Ice of the 21st century."
The reporter pointed out that Justin's "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" documentary grossed $73 million two years ago. In contrast, his current "Believe" concert film has only raked in $5.39 million in the two weeks that it's been in theaters so far, meaning that it's at a lowly 19th place on the box-office chart.
"While Miley Cyrus strips and twerks, no one wants to see Bieber naked. He's the Vanilla Ice of the 21st century," concluded the reporter.
Being compared to Vanilla Ice isn't necessarily so bad. Vanilla Ice is still on TV after all, even if it's not for performing as a musician but attempting to cook in a reality TV show. He currently stars in "Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off 2014," along with another faded entertainer, Tiffany.
Do you think Justin Bieber's career is coming to an end?

Evraz crude steel output rise in fourth quarter and full yearIN 387 views Leave a comment
– Q4 and FY 2013 crude steel rises
– Demand in Russia offsets suspension of mills
– Group disposes of businesses and mines
Evraz reported a 0.7 per cent rise in fourth quarter crude steel output from the previous quarter to 4m tonnes.
For the full-year 2013, output increased 1.1% to 16.1m as growth in Russia, Ukraine and South Africa offset the impact of the suspension of mills in Europe and North America.
The company suspended operations at Evraz Claymont in North America and Evraz Palini e Bertoli in Italy as part of a group-wide optimisation plan.
Evraz also disposed of the Evraz Vgok business and mines of Evrazruda in the iron ore division which led to a 1% fall in the annual production of saleable iron ore products in 2013.
While the firm experienced strong demand for steel products in Russia and America, average selling prices for all key product groups continued to soften over the year in line with global benchmarks.
The coking coal business increased the output of raw coking coal in 2013 by 22% on a pro-forma basis for the full-year with both key assets Yuzhkuzbassugol and the Raspadskaya coal company contributing significantly to growth. Evraz has commissioned new coking coal mine, Yerunakovskaya VIII, which will be a large scale and low cost operation.

The Charleston, West Virginia Chemical Spill, which left the surrounding community's water suitable only for flushing toilets, raised questions as to whether there is a need for more regulation and greater enforcement of current regulations. Looking at other headline grabbing incidences like the 2008 Kingston Coal Slurry Spill, the 2010 Deep Horizon Gulf Oil Spill, the 2010 Upper Big Branch Mine Collapse, and so on, it seems there is a need to be more diligent in the enforcement of smarter regulations. In truth, what probably needs to happen is a complete restructuring of America's safety regulatory and enforcement apparatus.
With innovations come unknowns. When it comes to chemical engineering and novel industrial practices, the unknowns translate into public health and safety concerns. Because our society tends to be more reactive than proactive, the hazards associated with potentially toxic materials and their large-scale application goes unaddressed until a massive chemical spill or other catastrophic accident makes its way into the news. A large part of the EPA's inability to properly regulate seems to stem from a lack of knowledge when it comes to proprietary products and staffing levels, which seems to be a reoccurring issue.
Looking back at 2007 when massive recalls of Chinese imports contaminated with heavy metals and other toxic materials dominated the news cycle, many questioned if the FDA had enough people to meet their ever-growing responsibilities. It seems an emerging pattern in agencies likes the FDA and EPA suggests the capacity of our government to provide proper oversight is inadequate. While increasing human and other resources is likely needed, there must also be smarter management of those resources, which might include private entities taking on a greater inspection and investigation role with public entities aggressively auditing such firms.
Although the Consumer Financial Production Agency was established in 2011 to protect our finances when businesses wrong customers, the a similar all-inclusive government defender does not exist to prevent harm to individuals and the environment. It is also important to remember the EPA was first organized in the 1970s while the FDA was steadily built from initiatives started in the early 1900's with reforms here and there. As such, it stands to reason these and other agencies were never designed to operate in the Information Age where constant innovation and an exponential growth of knowledge translates into a continual need to adapt oversight.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the DHS was established with the expressed goal of better coordinating the resources of federal, state, and local agencies to improve national security and responses to emergency situations. Where the DHS fell short of these expectations, due to interagency power struggles and other issues, a similar effort to consolidate and better coordinate the human and other resources of non-policing entities like the EPA, FDA, OSHA, CDC, FEMA, etc. could succeed. If done probably, such an initiative would streamline regulations, better regulatory oversight, improve regulatory enforcement, and strengthen support of emergency responders.

Simulating the Patient Experience Banner Simulation Medical Center --Full Transcription
Audio: Opening music gradually fades out.
Title: Simulating the Patient Experience
Image: Exterior of Banner Simulation Center
Text: Carol Cheney - Director-Simulation & Innovation
Image: Carol Cheney speaks on-camera
Audio: "We're here at the Simulation Medical Center. What we do is provide a unique learning experience for our employees and people outside of the system to come in and experience either a full patient load or unique events that maybe they don't get to see on a day-to-day basis. And what makes it really unique is that they have to think through all of those procedural things that a part of their daily routine and their job functions. But they also have to become aware of how they're communicating with patients, what they're saying and what they're doing to the patients, what the patient perception is of what's going on."

Text: Mary Larson - Clinical Educator
Image: Mary Larson speaks on- and off-camera
Audio: "We simulate the communication by talking through microphones so that, when they're in the room, they are hearing the mannequin speak—or the patient speak. We simulate it to very real experiences."

Audio: "The majority of the learners who come to the Banner Simulation Medical Center are nurses who are new to Banner Health. They might be experienced nurses, they might be new graduate nurses, and they're coming to learn the skills and the techniques that we utilize at Banner as well as getting a unique opportunity to run scenarios where they can practice the entire patient experience."

Samantha Hasso speaks on- and off-camera
Text: Samantha Hasso, RN - PICU
Audio: "I've been with Banner for five months. When I walked into the Banner Simulation Center I was amazed. I thought, 'Wow, this is going to give me a lot of experience." There's actually mannequins there—they interact. They're not just dummies lying in the bed and you have to take care of them. They're talking, they have blood pressures, they have pulses, they're almost like a human being. And behind it, there's actually videos in each room and there's microphones and there is another staff member and they can hear everything we're saying. They can see what we're doing, they can see our body language. They see us –how we're interacting with this patient. So it's not just the skills that we're working on there, it's also the patient interaction—how we're talking to them, the way we're talking to them, the tone that we're using, the body language that we're using. I thought it was a great experience at the Simulation Center."
Images: Nurses adjusts mannequin patient's bed
Carol Cheney speaks on- and off-camera
Audio: "Many of them have never been on the other side the bed and, because we have the ability for them to watch what they're doing and debrief about it, it gives them a really unique perspective of what the patient feels."
Image: Mary Larson speaks on-camera
Audio: "I like to refer to it as the 'Art of Nursing' because, really, the technical skills can be taught, really, to anybody that goes to nursing school but really that empathy and that genuine concern for the patient is what we're looking for."
Image: Nurse talks to mannequin patient as she and another aid tend to "patient."
Audio: "My name is Debby and I'm here to help. We're just going to try to get you repositioned a little bit, okay, make you a little more comfortable?
Images: Debby and another nurse continue tending to same mannequin patient. Carol Cheney speaks off-camera over footage
Audio: "Coming through this type of simulation program is an advantage to our nurses over other individuals that don't have that opportunity because a) they get to encounter some of the emotions or feelings or questionable experiences in this environment where it's safe, it's non-punitive, they have an entire support structure within our staff.
Image: Samantha Hasso speaks off-camera over footage of nurses caring for mannequin patients.
Audio: "The simulation tender was a great bridge from being told, 'you need to do this,' to actually doing it and not being absolutely critical because the patient's not going to die—it's the mannequin—and then actually being in a real-life situation. Some of the colleagues that I have graduated school with, they were just thrown into their job. They did not have any kind of simulation orientation at all and they're having a very difficult time to actually transition from being in school to being on the floor, and they're just very frustrated. And that does not translate well to the patients or for the nurses themselves.
Images: Nurses practicing on mannequin patient
Carol Cheney speaks off-camera over footage
"Audio: This is the kind of facility and technology to leverage. It's opened my eyes incredibly as to what this kind of innovation could teach us, could help us with. I personally believe that we've only scratched the surface of what we're about to embark on with Simulation.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

The Marlins got off to a slow start losing their first game to the Mets 7-1 in a sloppy game that culminated in three Marlins errors.
Josh Johnson, who was previously 7-0 against the Mets, had four runs and five hits in over five and a half innings in his first opening-day start.
Johnson got off to a disastrous start giving up a two-run homerun to Wright in the first inning.
Johan Santana was able to suppress the Marlins' offense with six superb innings of play. The Mets also got help from their bullpen which pitched three scoreless innings.
David Wright propelled the Mets' offense with a two-run homerun in the . Helping Wright were Jason Bay, Rod Barajas, and Gary Mathews Jr. with two hits each.
Much of the Mets runs came in a three-error sixth inning that resulted in four runs. Jorge Cantu had cut the Mets lead to 2-1 with an RBI in the top of the sixth.
Two errors were erred throws from relievers Clay Hansley and Dan Meyer that went past first baseman Gaby Sanchez while the final error came on a bobbled reception by Sanchez on a routine throw form shortstop Hanley Ramirez.
The Mets are now a major-league best 32-17 on opening days. The Mets played without Jose Reyes and Calros Beltran who were still in Florida and on the disabled list.

Deripaska Seeks Building Investors
- Bloomberg
- Nov. 24 2009 00:00
Billionaire Oleg Deripaska, whose United Company RusAl is seeking to restructure more than $14 billion of debt, is in talks with potential investors in his construction, airport and financial-services businesses.
"We see renewed interest toward some of our assets, including stakes in our businesses, from a growing number of investors from Russia, China, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Western Europe," Timur Supatayev, head of investment at Deripaska's Basic Element holding company, said in a Nov. 21 e-mailed response to questions. "We are in the middle of negotiations."
RusAl, the world's largest aluminum producer, plans an initial public offering in Hong Kong to help repay its borrowings. Deripaska, last year gave up stakes in builder Hochtief and auto parts maker Magna International that were held as collateral by lenders as the value of his investments tumbled. He also cut his RusAl stake.
Basic Element seeks to maintain control of its assets, which are all poised to return to profit next year as the effect of the global financial crisis wanes, Supatayev said.
"All companies generate stable revenues," he said. "Many have already recovered from the crisis and are marginally profitable. We're not interested in selling shares in our businesses, let alone giving up control, at crisis-level prices."
The economy of the world's biggest energy producer is recovering as global demand for commodities supports exporters and local consumption rebounds. The record 10.9 percent economic contraction in the second quarter eased to 8.9 percent last quarter. Real disposable incomes posted the biggest jump in more than a year last month and retail sales gained from September.
"Some economic sectors attract investors because they have reached the bottom and one doesn't have to be a financial guru to expect a steep recovery," Supatayev said. "With partners we intend to take advantage of the economic situation and get leading market positions by taking over distressed assets."
On top of the talks with potential investors, Deripaska will extend an option to buy back 25 percent of Strabag, Austria's biggest builder, until the end of 2010, Basic Element said Monday.
Deripaska is also in talks to swap his stake in Aviakor for shares in state-owned United Aviation Corporation, Yekaterina Pankova, a spokeswoman for Basic Element's machinery division, said Monday.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Lung cancer is cancer that usually starts in the lining of the bronchi (the main airways of the lungs), but can also begin in other areas of the respiratory system, including the trachea, bronchioles, or alveoli. It is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. In 2008, 215,020 new cases of lung cancer are expected, according to the American Cancer Society.
Lung cancers are believed to develop over a period of many years.
Nearly all lung cancers are carcinomas, a cancer that begins in the lining or covering tissues of an organ. The tumor cells of each type of lung cancer grow and spread differently, and each type requires different treatment. About 85 percent to 90 percent of lung cancers belong to the group called non-small cell lung cancer.
Lung cancers are generally divided into two types:
It is important to find out what kind of lung cancer a person has. The different types of carcinomas, involving different regions of the lung, may cause different symptoms and are treated differently.
The following are the most common symptoms for lung cancer. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Lung cancer usually does not cause symptoms when it first develops, but they often become present after the tumor begins growing. A cough is the most common symptom of lung cancer. Other symptoms include:
Like all cancers, lung cancer can cause:
Other symptoms can be caused by substances made by lung cancer cells - referred to as a paraneoplastic syndrome. Certain lung cancer cells produce a substance that causes a sharp drop in the level of sodium in the blood, which can cause many symptoms, including confusion and sometimes even coma.
None of these symptoms is a sure sign of lung cancer. Only a physician can tell whether a patient's symptoms are caused by cancer or by another problem. Consult your physician for a diagnosis.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of getting a disease such as cancer. Different cancers have different risk factors. Several risk factors make a person more likely to develop lung cancer:
Additional risk factors include:
A risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases, including cancers, have different risk factors.
Although these factors can increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factors never develop the disease, while others develop disease and have no known risk factors.
But, knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease.
Because marijuana is an illegal substance, it is not possible to control whether it contains fungi, pesticides, and other additives.
In addition to a complete medical history to check for risk factors and symptoms, and a physical examination to provide other information about signs of lung cancer and other health problems, procedures used to diagnose lung cancer may include:
Other tests and procedures may be used as well.
Specific treatment for lung cancer will be determined by your physician based on:
Lung cancer may be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, laser therapy, or a combination of treatments. "Combination treatment" or "multimodality treatment" refers to having more than one type of treatment.
Treatment for lung cancer includes one or more of the following:
There are specific names for the order in which treatment is given. Neoadjuvant treatment refers to having radiation or chemotherapy before surgery. Having one or both of these before surgery may help shrink the tumor - a smaller tumor is easier to take out in surgery.
Chemotherapy or radiation soon after surgery is called adjuvant treatment. The goal of adjuvant treatment is to kill any cancer cells that may be left after the surgery. Even if there is no sign of cancer cells, your physician may suggest adjuvant treatment, as it lowers the risk that the cancer may come back or spread.
Clinical trials are being conducted on prevention and treatment options for lung cancer, including photodynamic therapy and chemoprevention .

It ain't always merry
To notice there's a line
Life is kinda scary
When you are left behind
All the loved ones lost to you
Used to be somewhere
You know you will follow too
And you don't really care to just go nowhere
And so you keep them all alive
(In your head)
I tell you I know The Reaper
No light and no eternal life
(What I said)
I tell you I know The Reaper
Sweetest of all lies
One of everlasting life
No one wants to die
But we do, so we hide
What you fail to realize
Is there's no need to fear
You live on in the hearts and minds
Of those who hold you dear, who are right here
All the others

Late Wednesday night Lil B dropped his highly anticipated album 'i'm gay'.
"Buy my new project I'm Gay now!" B wrote, with a link to iTunes.
"Don't let a word make you discriminate upon another human," he said when he appeared on "RapFix Live"this past May. "Because at the end of the day, no matter what you do, I should be happy for you, because you're alive. You're living life."
The album title is misleading because there are actually no gay mentions in his songs only topics on health care reform, Martin Luther King Jr. and self-hate.
In April, Lil B denied any notion of being gay himself, but to barely address the issue on the LP is a glaring omission. "I'm very gay, but I love women," he said at the time, referring to the alternate meaning of the word. "I'm not attracted to men in any way. I've never been attracted to a man in my life. But yes I am gay, I'm so happy. I'm a gay, heterosexual male."

St. Andrew Catholic Church continues to grow
Father Gilberto Vallejo, pastor of St. Andrew Catholic Church in Pleasanton, recently announced that the Parish Hall is undergoing a major remodeling and extension because of safety issues. He explained that St. Andrew's Parish Hall needed to improve its facilities to provide adequate and safe space for the church's ministries and service to the community.
The remodeling project was awarded to Garza Architects, based in San Antonio.
Jesse Garza, AIA, Principal of Garza Architects said that his firm will be removing most of the enclosing walls and roof structure and will rebuild it with a higher structure, new facades and new roofing. Currently, the church hall is 14,000 square feet and once it is completed it will be 17,000 square feet.
Garza Architects has been operating in San Antonio a little over 12 years. The mid-size firm specializes in commercial and institutional projects.
Currently, there are 550 students enrolled in religious education at St. Andrew. Our Lady of Grace Academy, the local Catholic school, is coming back to St. Andrew with the start of the 2015-16 school year. It moved to Leming because of safety concerns.
The extension of the hall includes more adequate classrooms, as well as a larger hall area. Youth Ministry, ACTS, Knights of Columbus, United Seniors, adult men and women Bible study groups, Lay Ministry Institute, weddings, quinceañeras, funerals and the annual Picnic and Turkey Dinner fundraisers will benefit from this major project.
This year, St. Andrew Catholic Church is celebrating 100 years of service to the community of Pleasanton.
"This major project is the best present we can give to our church," said Father Vallejo.
It will be a $1.5 million project, which could extend to $2 million. The Parish Hall was built thanks to the generosity of St. Andrew parishioners roughly 50 years ago. They did a wonderful job since the building has served the St. Andrew community and the community at large in so many ways.
Father Vallejo invites the Pleasanton community to join St. Andrew in prayer and thanksgiving to God for all the blessings we have received in our 100 years. He remembers April 28, 2010, being at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, along with some St. Andrew parishioners. That was when Pope Benedict XVI, at his weekly general audience, in front of tens of thousands of people greeted and blessed St. Andrew Catholic Church in Pleasanton. Father Vallejo said he and his parishioners were surprised and amazed by hearing from the Pope himself, the name of our parish and the city of Pleasanton.
Construction is tentatively scheduled for mid- September, 2014 and last until the end of March, 2015. During this time, the hall will be unavailable for use.

Many people tend to confuse and interchange the terms "heart attack" and "cardiac arrest," but it is very important to note that these are two completely different medical conditions.

What is Cardiac Arrest?
A cardiac arrest is a sudden collapse in an individual who is non-responsive, and who has abnormal breathing. Abnormal breathing is either agonal respiration, or gasping, or not breathing at all. In sudden cardiac arrest, the heart stops completely. In this situation, it is important to call 9-1-1, and to administer CPR if necessary. Unless treated, a person suffering from cardiac arrest can die within minutes.

Editor, GoDucks
Joseph Young announced Tuesday he plans to play his senior season at Oregon.
The Houston native was a second-team all-Pac-12 selection in 2013-14, and the leading scorer for the Ducks in a 24-10 season that ended in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
"Great talk w/ the fam," Young wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. "Decided the best thing for me is to get my Degree and play my last year as an Oregon Duck #1moreyear #Ducknation"
Young, a transfer from Houston last season, averaged 18.9 points per game, scoring in double figures in 30 of 34 appearances and reaching 20 in 14 different games. He was the Pac-12's second-leading scorer and best free-throw shooter, at 88.1 percent.
Based on the current roster, Young will be one of two seniors in 2014-15, along with guard Jalil Abdul-Bassit.
"We're excited to have him back," UO coach Dana Altman said.
Young holds Matthew Knight Arena single-game records with 36 points, set against Western Carolina, and six steals, set against USC. He was Oregon's leading scorer against both Oregon State and UCLA in the Pac-12 Tournament, and was named to the all-tournament team.

Arizona State Quotes
Arizona State senior 1B Jeff Larish
On making adjustments in last couple of games: "I'm just trying to be relaxed up there and looking to find a pitch I can hit and help the team win. I've been fortunate enough to get a good part of the bat on the ball. In terms of playing against East Carolina, I think it is just a matter of getting into the right mental focus and getting prepared to hit against them."
Arizona State senior RHP Jason Urquidez
On struggling in the first inning:
"The first inning I was a little jacked up and I wasn't thinking one pitch at a time. After the first inning, I got my head back into focus a little bit and thought about what I was doing. I broke it down one pitch at a time and tried concentrating on every pitch. It started to click for me after that. I feel like I can pitch whenever coach needs me. My arm feels fine. I have a rubber arm and I'm ready to put everything on the line for this team."
"I broke it down and started taking it one pitch at a time. I just tried to concentrate on the glove and play catch with Tuffy (Gosewich). The defense was huge, with the contributions from J.J (Sferra) and Colin (Curtis). That just pumped me up even more. They got the bat on the ball and I had my defense behind me."
Arizona State junior 3B/OF Travis Buck
On Coastal Carolina:
"We obviously know they are a very good team. Anybody that makes it this far, obviously is a good team. We have to go out there and do our best and come out there like we did today. We have to bring that intensity tomorrow. We just have to compete and good things will happen."
Arizona State Head Coach Pat Murphy:
On Jason Urquidez:
"I thought he was outstanding. This is playoff baseball. This is a team that's seen him before and seen us four times. They were in the Super Regional last year and they have a lot of returning players. He really held his poise after that first inning. He threw up five zeros after that and that was crucial. He made some huge pitches and threw the ball great. It was a great start. I thought it was a tremendous start."
On taking Urquidez out after six innings:
"I thought he was getting a little tired. He gave us 98 pitches like he does every weekend. He was just sensational. He's one of the most underrated pitchers in the game in college baseball."
On the team's play:
"These guys have made up their mind that they want to play well. That was a phenomenal game for (Jeff) Larish. I think we sent the message right away that we're here to play. We may not win, but we're here to compete and be relentless."
On Coastal Carolina:
"They can score runs and they're confident. Coastal is a good team and they're number one for a reason. They're a bunch of older guys and they're real impressive. They've been winning 45 games a year for I don't know how many years in a row. They beat Georgia Tech and North Carolina back-to-back on the road so they've got to be good."
East Carolina Quotes
East Carolina Head Coach Randy Mazey
On ASU's pitching:
"(Jason Urquidez) really settled in and got in a groove. He is a good pitcher. He's got nine wins this year for a reason. He got his command and kept us off-balance in the middle part of the game. That's why he is as good as he is.
On ECU's offensive struggles:
"We hit three balls right to the fence and they tracked them down. They made a great catches on some of those balls and we sure didn't catch any breaks tonight. Our guys fought hard and scored the last four runs of the ball game and, usually in that situation, the momentum pretty much carries on to the next day. I think we'll come out swinging pretty well tomorrow."
On ECU's starter T.J. Hose:
"He'll be able to come back. He was our closer to start the year so he can go again on a short amount of rest, if need be. We're not going to hurt the kid, but if he feels good and the situation is right, he can always turn it around. It looked like he found the strike zone a little too much. Every time he threw a strike, they seemed to hit it. But when a guy hits your first pitch of the game for a home run, you can't fault (our pitcher). You want him to go right at him.
"T.J. (Hose) is one of those pitchers that gets better as the game progresses, but he just never got the chance to get into the middle innings. If he had gotten through the lineup a couple times, I think he would have been good down the stretch, but they just jumped on him early."

Want To Lose 50 Pounds? Only The Overweight Can Use This North Texas Gym
Finding motivation to go to the gym can be hard enough. Imagine if when you arrived, people stared or made rude comments. For many overweight people, this is reality. Enter "Downsize Fitness," a gym whose membership requirement is that you must be at least 50 pounds overweight to join. Downsize, which started in Chicago, just opened its second location in Texas.
Kendall Schrantz used to be a chronic gym quitter. She'd sign up, go once, and never return. Now, she drives from her home in Flower Mound an hour away to Fort Worth three times a week to exercise.
"It's worth every single penny I paid for gas, it's worth the time I spend on the road, the miles," she says.
[See more photos and read the full story from KERA News]
The Downsize Approach
Everything at Downsize is intended to make the gym a welcoming place. Even the equipment.
The stationary bikes, elliptical machines, treadmills all are specially designed for larger, heavier people. The thicker cushioning and wider seats, the classes on nutrition, the striking "before and after" photos on the wall. The idea is to make the gym a welcoming place. But can removing mirrors, tinting the windows and banning skinny people really help the overweight drop pounds?

U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler will introduce legislation this week that would turn control of Pearson Air Museum and surrounding land to the city of Vancouver, her aide said Tuesday.
"She's fine-tuning the bill details, but does still plan to introduce it this week," Casey Bowman said of Herrera Beutler, R-Camas.
The confirmation that Herrera Beutler will pursue a legislative fix followed Monday's meeting of the Vancouver City Council, where councilors reassured concerned residents that they were working hard to overturn a decision by the National Park Service, which owns the museum and surrounding land.
The Fort Vancouver National Trust, which had been operating the museum on behalf of the city, cleared the museum out on Feb. 6 after the park service abruptly ordered it vacated.
The park service was under the mistaken belief it would be able to keep the planes and displays and operate the museum as it wanted, with a focus on history.
City Manager Eric Holmes said Tuesday that the objective is to get the museum back open and accessible to the public. The trust used it as an education and community site, because, as Councilor Jeanne Harris said Monday, the hangar was a wonderful venue for large community events. Renting it out was a way to make money to keep the museum open, as ticket sales alone didn't cover operation costs.
"We are wanting to make sure we pursue any and all avenues," Holmes said Tuesday. He said Herrera Beutler's legislative fix "may be one way to get there, but I'm not ready to say it's the only way."
James Beckelhiemer, who started a Facebook page, told the council Monday his page has received more than 1,100 "likes."
He asked what the council was doing.
Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt said he directed Holmes to work toward getting the community asset back.
Holmes said on Feb. 8 he had a conference call with staff members from the offices of Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, both D-Wash, and Herrera Beutler.
"Cantwell spoke with National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis on Friday and urged him to work with the city to find a resolution," Cantwell's spokeswoman, Janeen Heath May, wrote by email Tuesday. "She's hopeful that this situation can be resolved quickly through negotiations between the city and the park service."
Additionally, Holmes said he'll go to Jarvis to try and "get some relief from the decision that was made locally to terminate the contract."
Councilor Jack Burkman told Beckelhiemer and others museum supporters who attended Monday's meeting that while city officials can work with their federal counterparts, it's encouraging to see such a response from the public.
"There's really something to be said when a bunch of residents stand up and say, 'This is wrong.' And I haven't heard anyone in the city say this is right," Burkman said.
Tracy Fortmann, superintendent of the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, said Tuesday that she was not aware of any pending legislation and it would be inappropriate to comment. She said her goal has been to keep the museum open, and that the park service does recognize the importance of having the museum building available for community events. She said the park service has a special-permit process to allow such events.

Ohio Man Marches 400 Miles to Arlington
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on March 26, 2012 @ 5:05PM
Created on March 25, 2012 @ 5:29PM
23 year-old former Marine, Justin Kuhel, is walking 400 miles from Columbus, Ohio to Arlington National Cemetery to benefit the Wounded Warrior's Project. Some say he is crazy, but he says this is something he wants to do to support his fellow soldiers.
"I got the idea, really, I was watching a documentary about a Marine that was in my unit that got wounded, I was with him when he actually got wounded on the patrol, and the documentary was about him going through physical therapy. I didn't realize how much goes into it after these guys get hurt and everything that entails, and I just wanted to do something to help them," said Kuhel.
On Sunday, Kuhel was on day 10 of walking. He had completed 210 miles at the start of the day. Walking starts around 9:00 in the morning, and goes until he reaches about 25 miles. He says the journey has been long, but he's met many supporting people along the way.
"People have been really nice. A lot of people have been stopping and donating money right there on the side of the road or giving me water, so it's really been cool," he said.
Kuehl has raised $7,500 so far, and has a goal of $10,000. He says by reaching his goal, it will make all the struggle worth it.
"This is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done, mentally or physically, honestly. I definitely have had to push myself more than I thought I was going to have to," said Kuhel.
And with just under 200 miles to go, Kuehl says he won't give up.
"I have a lot of good friends that were hurt in Afghanistan or Iraq, so whenever I want to quit or whatever, I kinda think about them and think about regardless of how much I'm hurting, how much easier I have it than some of these guys that have lost limbs, and you know, can't walk," Kuhel said.
