In what can only be described as deep irony, the newspaper that published names and addresses of gun permit holders in two New York counties, has now hired armed guards to protect their offices. A police report allegedly shows that on December 28, The Journal News hired the services of New York city-based RGA Investigations, a security firm that provides armed guards.
These armed guards will reportedly be protecting their headquarters located at 1 Crosfield Ave in West Nyack, indefinitely.
According to a Rockland County Times report, "The Journal News is now 'armed and dangerous' and apparently think "guns are good for the goose but not for the gander."
They were poking fun at what many will see as hypocrisy on the publication's part basically for turning around and doing the very thing they were advocating against -- publishing the names and addresses of gun permit holders in Rockland and Westchester Counties and making the point that too many Americans are armed.
It all started with an article written by the Journal News' Dwight R. Worley called "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood. I suspect initally he meant well but inserting the Google map pushed it over the controversial edge. The article referred to a shooting incident where a 77-year-old mentally disturbed man walked up to his neighbor and shot her point blank in the back of her head. Afterward the shocking crime,, neighbors were equally stunned to learn that the shooter had amassed an arsenal of weapons in his home. Some residents said they would not have moved in next door if they knew their neighbor's home was stockpiled with guns.
There were supporters of the paper posting gun permit owners' information, and these folks say they had a right to know who was armed in their community. One mother thanked the paper on Twitter, tweeting she wanted to know if there were guns in the homes her daughter visits.
But many others were not that understanding, for the Journal News received hundreds of heated criticism for their interactive map and even generated a dangerous backlash. Even though the info posted was already public record, critics felt they had invaded the privacy of many residents in these communities by posting online who has gun permits and inadvertently, those who did not. One man decided to flip the switch and published the names of The Journal's editor, the writer of the article and some of their journalists.
Christopher Fountain, a Connecticut lawyer, mimicked The Journal News and posted an interactive Google map of his own on his blog, including a satellite image of the publisher's home, along with the names and addresses of some of the Journal's staff. Fountain upped the ante by including this caption: "I don't know whether the Journal's publisher Janet Hassen is a permit holder herself, but here's how to find her to ask."(Read more on this here).
The Rockland County Times is also reporting that the paper is now rattled by the volume of anger their gun publication has stoked. The article and map had come in the wake of the terrifying Sandy Hook Elementary shooting massacre in Newtown, Conn., when the gun control debate exploded.
Even though the gun permit stunt generated an avalanche of bad press and angry online comments/phone calls, the Journal, published online through LoHud.com, had defended the interactive map, saying in a statement that, "New York residents have the right to own guns with a permit and they also have a right to access public information."
Critics, however, do not agree and have accused the newspaper's Google map of treating legal gun owners like sex offenders, which is a dangerous precedent to set.

American Idiot, the new American musical based on the Grammy Award-winning rock album by Green Day, and featuring direction by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer, opens April 20 at the St. James Theatre following previews from March 24.
A far cry from the sexual coming-of-age and teen-angst tale that was Spring Awakening, for which Mayer won the Tony Award for Best Direction, American Idiot — a narrative expansion of the album — is about a young man named Johnny (played by Spring Awakening's Tony-winning John Gallagher, Jr.), who journeys from the soulless suburbs in search of something greater, all in the post-9/11 age of media-saturation, fear and cynicism. His two pals, Will (played by Michael Esper) and Tunny (played by Tony nominee Stark Sands), take their own paths.
Johnny is also known as Jesus of Suburbia, a name familiar to fans of the 2004 Grammy Award-winning source album, a punk rock hit that has sold more than 12 million copies.
Here's how the producers describe the experience: "
American Idiot follows the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post 9/11 world, borne along by Green Day's electrifying score."
The 90-minute rock musical draws on all the songs from "American Idiot," plus material that did not make the album, plus a handful of numbers from Green Day's latest Grammy-winning album, "21st Century Breakdown" (including the song "21 Guns").

Former state Senate Pro Tem Robert Jubelirer is disappointed he lost in the Penn State Board of Trustees election, but he said he is proud of his campaign running mates who won two of the three seats.
University alumni have been steadily electing new members to the board who share their disfavor with the board's leadership since the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal began to unfold in November 2011.
Alumni elected Edward "Ted" B. Brown III, Barbara L. Doran and William F. Oldsey from a field of 39 candidates. Doran and Oldsey were Jubelirer's running mates.
With 3,030 votes, Jubelirer was 100 votes behind the fifth place finisher in the alumni election.
Incumbents Paul Suhey and board vice chairwoman Stephanie Deviney lost their seats. The third seat belonged to Steve Garban, who resigned last summer.
"Bill Oldsey and Barbara Doran are two of the finest people I ever met," Jubelirer said. "They will be superb members of the board. It gives me great satisfaction that the two of them won. I know they will bring some order out of what I consider almost chaos."
Jubelirer said he thinks it's a signal that both incumbents lost. "Had they won, it would have been business as usual," he said.
"Now when three more incumbents come up, they have to recognize that if they don't reform and open up their meetings and actions to the public and be far more transparent and deal with why the Penn State community can't move on - the lack of due process, the Freeh report - every year three trustees will be voted out."
With that prospect in mind, he said he didn't want to talk about possibly running again. Oldsey and Doran ran and lost election to the board last year.
"I don't want to talk about next year," he said. "I worked as hard as I ever did in any Senate race. I don't know how I could have done more."
Jubelirer was endorsed by last year's alumni-selected trustee Anthony Lubrano, but he did not have the backing of alumni group PS4S which spent $20,000 on endorsing candidates.
Jubelirer said he ran for a seat on the board because he was so disgusted with way the board had handled the university's crisis a year ago. He found a consistent mood among the Penn State nation that there had to be change, "Success with honor," he said.
"When Paul Suhey said Joe Paterno wasn't fired, that he retired three weeks early - that was one if the most outrageous statements I ever heard."
The crimes of Jerry Sandusky were "disgusting, revolting, one of the worst things that could happen not on a college campus but anywhere," he said. "That doesn't mean the trustees handled it right."
"At least we made enough noise that we will begin to see change," he said.
In addition to the three alumni-elected trustees, delegates of the state agricultural societies elected incumbent Keith W. Eckel and newcomer M. Abraham Harpster to the board.
Harpster is co-owner of Evergreen Farms Inc. in Spruce Creek. Evergreen Farms is the largest dairy farm operation of its type in the Northeast, producing enough milk weekly for 90,000 families. Harpster partners with his two brothers, managing 5,500 acres and more than 2,800 dairy cows. Harpster received a bachelor's degree in agricultural business management from Penn State.

Tulsa police say a man is in jail after authorities discovered his 18-month-old daughter locked in a metal dog crate inside his home.
Authorities were called to the man's home Sunday night after neighbors found a naked 4-year-old child in the backyard. When police arrived, officers discovered an 18-month-old girl locked in the kennel while the man was asleep in his bed.
A third child was found asleep next to the man.
Police tell a Tulsa television station that the man said he took narcotic pain medicine, a muscle relaxant and an anti-seizure medication and drank a beer before falling asleep.
The three children are now in state custody. The man was arrested on a felony child neglect complaint.

Yes, Michigan is an open carry state. www.Handgunlaw.us is a pretty great resource.
November 8, 2012, 10:37 PM
Yes Michigan is an open carry state, but be aware that if you enter a vehicle, you will be considered carrying concealed.
The source that USAF_vet gave you is a good one. Also, the Michigan state police site is pretty good at posting firearms related information. Here'sa link:
November 9, 2012, 11:41 AM
MI is an OC state. Best source for OC information is www.opencarry.org. They have state specific information, a good general forum, and state specific forums for each state.
Best source for general concealed carry is www.handgunlaw.us
November 9, 2012, 04:45 PM
You must also have a CPL to carry in any place with a liquor license, like package stores, stop-n-robs and stores like wally world that sell beer & wine.

Source on this? Because I have not read anything in Michigan law that reads this way, and I have OC'd in just about every one of the places you just mentioned and got not as much as a second look. It's legal to open carry in a bar, pub or tavern, but not Wal-Mart?
Please check your facts and cite a source before posting.
November 9, 2012, 05:20 PM
USAVet: I'm pretty certain you may ONLY open carry in a bar or tavern, ONLY if you have a CPL. There are two separate codes that interplay here..
One may not conceal in those places listed as prohibited, but with a cpl, one may open carry. I can look up MCL's if you need me too. Also check out
MSP Legal Update page.
November 9, 2012, 05:22 PM
Lizard, you are correct. You can OC with a CPL in otherwise prohibited areas. But the gas station, liquor store, grocery store, etc are not prohibited, and one can OC without a permit in any one of those locations.
November 9, 2012, 07:32 PM
But the gas station, liquor store, grocery store, etc are not prohibited, and one can OC without a permit in any one of those locations.
Without a CPL, you cannot carry in or on the premises of any place licensed by the liquor control board.
Ragnar Danneskjold
November 9, 2012, 07:42 PM
I've always thought that was funny how the two laws played out in tandem. A CPL holder is barred from carrying concealed in pistol free zones. But due to open carry laws and being licensed by the state, you can open carry in most "pistol free zones"...if you have a CPL.
I'm pretty sure none of that was intended when they wrote the law, but due to the way they worded it, that's the way it works out.
Of course it would be a hell of a lot simpler if they just let adults carry how and wherever they want and just prosecuted people for actually committing crimes.
November 9, 2012, 10:58 PM
Montana has somewhat similar...you cannot CC into a restaraunt that serves, or bar, but you can OC. If you need a CHL, or not. depends on where the restaraunt or bar is (town wise).
November 10, 2012, 03:39 AM
You must also have a CPL to carry in any place with a liquor license, like package stores, stop-n-robs and stores like wally world that sell beer & wine.
No, you may not carry concealed in a "bar or tavern which derives most of its sales from alcohol sold for consumption on the premise".
You may carry openly, but must be a CPL holder. Walmart, or your corner liquor store do not sell any booze for consumption on the premises, let alone most of their sales.

Without a CPL, you cannot carry in or on the premises of any place licensed by the liquor control board.
Any place that sells beer and wine is licensed by the liquor control board, and without a CPL is designated a gun-free zone. With a CPL, you may carry concealed or open, but must only carry open in bars and taverns.
Citation: Michigan 28-425o (http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(jnqg54rrish1pi455plpm545))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-28-425o):
28.425o Premises on which carrying concealed weapon or portable device that uses electro-muscular disruption technology prohibited; "premises" defined; exceptions to subsections (1) and (2); violation; penalties.
(d) A bar or tavern licensed under the Michigan liquor control code of 1998, 1998 PA 58, MCL 436.1101 to 436.2303, where the primary source of income of the business is the sale of alcoholic liquor by the glass and consumed on the premises. This subdivision does not apply to an owner or employee of the business.
As to the OP's question, here is a guideline written by the Michigan State Police to familiarize officers with open carry in Michigan:
November 10, 2012, 10:41 AM
See the link posted in post 9. There are two laws in play here, and both apply. You go into Wally World OCing without a CPL, and some cop is feeling froggy, and you'll be making a trip to jail.
I've been OCing (with CPL) for about 4 years+ and have made it my business to know the law backwards and forwards. You should visit www.migunowners.org and post your questions on the legal beagle forum, where you can get the real skinny from real lawyers who specialize in gun law...

Perhaps, but not legally. That would be an illegal arrest.
F-111 John
November 11, 2012, 09:13 PM
No, it would be a very legal arrest, if the Wally World store were licensed to sell beer or wine. As Clipper pointed out, the statute that Zane linked to in post 9 says:
750.234d Possession of firearm on certain premises prohibited; applicability; violation as misdemeanor; penalty.
Sec. 234d.
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), a person shall not possess a firearm on the premises of any of the following:
(a) A depository financial institution or a subsidiary or affiliate of a depository financial institution.
(b) A church or other house of religious worship.
(c) A court.
(d) A theatre.
(e) A sports arena.
(f) A day care center.
(g) A hospital.
(h) An establishment licensed under the Michigan liquor control act, Act No. 8 of the Public Acts of the Extra Session of 1933, being sections 436.1 to 436.58 of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
(2) This section does not apply to any of the following:
(a) A person who owns, or is employed by or contracted by, an entity described in subsection (1) if the possession of that firearm is to provide security services for that entity.
(b) A peace officer.
(c) A person licensed by this state or another state to carry a concealed weapon.
(d) A person who possesses a firearm on the premises of an entity described in subsection (1) if that possession is with the permission of the owner or an agent of the owner of that entity.
(3) A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a fine of not more than $100.00, or both.
In Michigan, Open Carry is prohibited in any store that sells beer, wine, or liquor unless the person has a CPL. Then the person may carry open or concealed, except concealed carry is not allowed in bars or taverns that earn most of their income from the sale of liquor by the glass for consumption on the premesis.

Also---can you drink in the bar when you open carry ?????
November 11, 2012, 10:02 PM
You can't drink while carrying in Michigan although I don't have any specific sources available to back that up.
F-111 John
November 11, 2012, 10:20 PM
Concealed carry is prohibited with a blood alcohol level of .02 or greater. Open carry is a bit more fuzzy. The statute:
750.237 Liquor or controlled substance; possession or use of firearm by person under influence; violation; penalty; chemical analysis.
Sec. 237. (1) An individual shall not carry, have in possession or under control, or use in any manner or discharge a firearm under any of the following circumstances:
(a) The individual is under the influence of alcoholic liquor, a controlled substance, or a combination of alcoholic liquor and a controlled substance.
(b) The individual has an alcohol content of 0.08 or more grams per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of urine.
(c) Because of the consumption of alcoholic liquor, a controlled substance, or a combination of alcoholic liquor and a controlled substance, the individual's ability to use a firearm is visibly impaired.
So possession is prohibited with a BAC of .08, if you are "under the influence," or if you are "visibly impaired."
Can anyone weigh in on the definition of "under the influence" or "visibly impaired" as it applies to possession of a firearm?
Edit: If you have a CPL, you may have your firearm locked in the trunk or in a locked container in your vehicle, separate from the ammunition, with a BAC above .02.
November 11, 2012, 10:32 PM
Smelling the cork should get you .02
November 11, 2012, 10:53 PM
Smelling the cork should get you .02
Thats not true and impossible. Depending on how quickly consumed and the body weight if the individual it might take 1 or two drinks.
If one must drink while CCing I highly recommend the selection of soft drinks only.

I don't care what the sherriff says. If he arrests you, sue.
Just because he has a badge and cuffs does not mean he is right, or that he can arrest you for any ol' reason he would like.
November 12, 2012, 02:03 PM
You didn't call the sheriff--- did you ???
November 12, 2012, 02:04 PM
Why would I? Like I said, he can say whatever he likes. Cops are notoriously uninformed in carry laws.
November 13, 2012, 07:10 PM
In michigan antis are everywhere,even in your local gunshop
November 14, 2012, 01:52 AM
During hunting season or any season I don't think it would be a very good thing to have 100/150 people armed with gun & knife drinking in a bar---the local sheriffs don't think so either. Allowing this would be very dangerous.
That is why they don't allow it.
November 14, 2012, 02:11 AM
You're not allowed to have over .02 BAC (or the one source says .08 if carrying openly). If you are over the limit, then you are breaking the law.
If you're not drinking, then you may openly carry your firearm into the bar, provided you are a CPL holder.
That is the law in Michigan. Tell your sherriff to stop making his own up.
November 14, 2012, 02:15 AM
That is the law correct
You will be escorted out with permission of owner in about 30 seconds.
Have you ever been in a bar in MI during hunting season packing an exposed weapon ?? A crowded bar ??
For some reason you don't sound like a deer hunter
November 14, 2012, 02:20 AM
They are welcome to ask you to leave, and if they do, you must leave.
But what you said was:
You may NOT carry any type of weapon into a bar
Which is NOT what the law says.
November 14, 2012, 02:22 AM
You are not a hunter are you
why carry when you know you will be kicked out.
Are you a member of OPEN CARRY< INC ?
November 14, 2012, 02:44 AM
I am not a hunter (which has nothing to do with carrying into a bar or not), nor am I part of any open carry organization. I do advocate open carrying, as do I advocate obeying laws and exercising rights.
Not all bars in the whole state are going to kick you out. This is the legal section, discussing laws and how they apply to firearms.
November 14, 2012, 03:05 AM
Do you enjoy explaning the state police memo on open carry when some cop
stops to talk to you about your open carry---i'll bet you do
Have fun----get yourself a rifle & go hunting some year---you might even enjoy going into a bar without a gun.
Take care
November 19, 2012, 11:05 AM
at our little lake in the woods our resturant/grill be lives in the rkba and everybodys welcome,small,were does it state to open carry in a bar you must have a cpl?

The last time I checked it wasn't up to the sheriff to decide what is "allowed" or "not allowed". The sheriff's job is to enforce the law, nothing more.
Now if we could keep this thread on the topic of what the LAW allows or doesn't allow rather than personal opinions....
were does it state to open carry in a bar you must have a cpl?
28.422 License to purchase, carry, possess, or transport pistol; issuance; qualifications;
applications; sale of pistol; exemptions; nonresidents; basic pistol safety brochure;
forging application; implementation during business hours.
Sec. 2. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person shall not purchase, carry, possess, or
transport a pistol in this state without first having obtained a license for the pistol as prescribed in this section.
F-111 John
November 19, 2012, 12:55 PM
That's not a CPL, NavyLCDR, that's pistol registration.
Andrewstorm, the answer was in my previous post #18 with the pertinent sections underlined.
It is a two step process to get to open carry in a bar requires a CPL.
Step 1: Possession of a firearm in any establishment licenced under the Michigan Liquor Control Act is prohibited, but does not apply to CPL holders.
Step 2: Concealed carry is prohibited by CPL holders in establishments that primarily make their income from selling liquor by the glass for consumption on the premesis. The law is silent on open carry by CPL holders, making open carry legal.
November 19, 2012, 01:43 PM
And here is the AG's translation of said exemptions:
Opinion No. 7097 January 11, 2002… A person licensed by this state… to carry a concealed weapon….By its express terms, section 234d prohibits certain persons from carrying a firearm in the enumerated places but explicitly exempts from its prohibition "[a] person licensed by this state or another state to carry a concealed weapon." Thus, any person licensed to carry a concealed pistol, including a private investigator, is exempt from the gun-free zone restrictions imposed by section 234d of the Penal Code and may therefore possess firearms while on the types of premises listed in that statute.
"Your analysis is correct. Non-CPL pistol free zones do not apply to CPL holders. The CPL pistol free zones only apply to CPL holders carrying a concealed pistol. Therefore, a CPL holder may openly carry a pistol in Michigan's pistol free zones."

The way I see it, we have two options:
1. save money for next yer and see what our young-guns are worth
2. settle for non toptier players, clinge somehow into the playoffs and getting our asses handed to us by Vancouver, LosAngeles, Chicago or Nashville
To me options 1 seems like the better one here.
The big question here is (and another one WE have no control over) is how soon and how much the young'ns will be played. The hierarchy has to be willing to to throw 'em in there and hope they do more than float.

Kindergarten readiness is about so much more than your child being 5 years old by your state's cutoff date. If you're agonizing about whether to send your child to kindergarten next year or to a transitional kindergarten program, here are some guidelines to consider.
Even if your preschooler already knows the ABCs and can count to 50, there's much more to school than academics. Is he also physically, socially and emotionally ready to succeed in kindergarten? Can he take care of his own potty needs, sit quietly without jumping around, and tough it out through an entire school day?
The Gesell Institute of Child Development, a nonprofit agency that has studied how children grow and learn since 1950, says many children of the same chronological age may differ remarkably from one another in their rates of growth and development. Institute experts suggest thinking about the following questions and discussing them with your child's teachers. Is your child able to:
• Comfortably be away from you for an entire day?
• Talk about ideas and feelings to adults other than immediate family?
• Accept minor disappointments without crying?
• Listen to and follow directions?
• Take turns patiently?
• Work independently without constant adult supervision?
• Find ways to resolve conflicts with peers?
• Make simple decisions when given a few choices?
• Take care of personal belongings and toileting needs independently?
• Retell familiar stories, nursery rhymes and songs?
The institute says that evaluation of a child's growth should be gathered from a variety of sources: parents, classroom observation, portfolios, developmental screening and other appropriate records.
A national survey of public school kindergarten teachers revealed that school readiness is not about alphabet recitation at all. Instead, the top three qualities the teachers identified were: Children come to school physically healthy, well-rested and well-nourished; children are able to communicate their needs, wants and thoughts verbally; and children are enthusiastic and curious in approaching new activities. The survey also said that kids cannot be pushed into being ready for school.
Parents can help by recognizing their child's developmental stages, skill levels and learning styles, says Amy James, an educator and author of the "Success Series" of books, including "Kindergarten Success" (Jossey-Bass, 2006).
James' partial checklist for kindergarten readiness reflects the need for listening skills, impulse control and self-sufficiency. Among other things, she says that kindergartners should be able to:
• Use complete sentences to recount an event.
• Put on a coat.
• Separate easily from parents and caregivers.
• Approach new activities with enthusiasm and curiosity.
• Follow two-step directions.
• Run, hop, walk, skip and throw a ball.
• Hold crayons, pencils and scissors properly.
For kids in their last year of preschool, a lot of growth – in all areas – can happen between springtime parent-teacher conferences and the time kindergarten starts in the fall. Your child's teacher should be able to share how your little one is doing at reaching milestones – or not – and make suggestions for parental encouragement.
If your child has trouble with nonacademic issues such as getting dressed, keeping up with belongings, opening his lunch or taking care of toileting needs, show you're a team player by committing to work diligently on these at home before kindergarten begins.
A teacher of 4- and 5-year-olds suggests that parents take time to eat packed lunches at home with their child to see what they're able to manage, and simplify or practice opening containers or wrappers. Also, at dinner time, set the expectation that your child will sit and eat without hopping up and down.
If you have tips or questions, please email her at email@example.com or call Parent to Parent at 704-236-9510.

July 2, 1939 – Jan. 28, 2013
A memorial Mass for Kathleen M. Howard, a retired home economics teacher, will be offered at 11 a.m. Saturday in the Newman Center on the University at Buffalo's North Campus in Amherst.
Mrs. Howard died Jan. 28 at her home in Pendleton after a long illness. She was 73.
Born Kathleen Purger in Buffalo, she was a graduate of Nardin Academy and earned her bachelor's degree from Buffalo State College. She received her master's degree from Canisius College.
For more than 32 years, Mrs. Howard taught home economics at School 38 and at School 3 in the Buffalo Public Schools.
After her retirement in 1991, she and her husband, Phil, moved to Indian Lake in Hamilton County.
After her husband's death in 1993, Mrs. Howard returned to the Buffalo area and for eight years was an active volunteer as a driver and dispatcher with the Food Shuttle of Western New York. For the past few years, she was mostly confined to her home as a result of a stroke.
She is survived by two sisters, Ann Kloeke and Mary Ellen Loneta.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
little apartment in walking distance to the city, everything you need inside but a sharp knife. it is on the ground floor, so you might want to keep the window shut. if you do so you need to turn on the fan otherwise it smells like mold. that ist the only negative thing. paulo was very friendly, flexible and helpfull, we had a good time.
The apartament is located in the very centre of Lisbon. Close to the Castle, Tag River and within walking distance of many of the attractions, which makes it even a better deal.
We strongly recomend the host and their apartaments to whoever wants to visit this charming town. :)

During her sophomore year at Indian River State College, pitcher Sarah Read was at the top of her game.
Already a junior college All-American, her league's Pitcher of the Year, and a Division I signee with Stetson University, Read was leading the Pioneers to another strong season in the Southern Conference.
However, late in one particular game at Miami-Dade College in the spring of 2012, everything changed.
"I threw a pitch and felt a little awkward but didn't really think anything of it," Read said. "On my very next windup, when my arm was in the air, I felt a crack in my collarbone area. When I went down to release the ball, I felt a pull in my arm. The girl hit the ball to the shortstop, and we made the play, but I looked down at my arm and it was just kind of hanging there."
Read noticed a divot in her upper arm and an odd-shaped lump in her biceps area. While she was not in a great deal of pain, she knew she had to come out of the game.
Read's parents were in attendance, and they drove her two hours to an emergency room in Fort Pierce, Fla., where Indian River State is located. Her X-Rays showed no damage to her bones, but an MRI was inconclusive as to the nature of the injury.
"(The doctors) didn't see anything on my shoulder, so they didn't really know what to do," Read said.
Read was asked to take another MRI, and when nothing appeared again in the image, it was apparent that her biceps tendon had torn completely off of her shoulder.
"The first doctor I went to never really heard about this injury, especially with softball players, so he didn't want to do surgery," Read said. "He thought physical therapy would have been fine."
Read's parents were not convinced that physical therapy alone was the best option, so while Read's father was getting a check-up with his physician, he explained what happened to Sarah and asked if the doctor could take a look at his daughter. That doctor just happened to be Koco Eaton, one of the team physicians for the Tampa Rays, a student of the famed Dr. James Andrews, and an expert in treating sports injuries.
Dr. Eaton agreed to see Read.
"He had just got done doing a study with this exact type of injury," Read said about Dr. Eaton. "He saw my MRI and said that the only way I could pitch again was to have surgery."
Four days later she had the surgery to reattach her biceps tendon, and a lengthy rehabilitation process followed. Read then benefited from yet another expert, Larry Mayol and his Star Care rehabilitation center. Throughout the summer Read worked on her strength three days a week, at first just lifting her arm with no weight to gradually adding a little weight at a time.
"Just focusing on the goal of being successful at the next level really kept me going," Read said.
While Read was able to throw a little overhand near the end of summer, her first major milestone came in October when she threw underhand for the first time since the injury.
"I was pretty nervous throwing those first few pitches, but I was also really excited to be able to do something again," Read said.
She was also thrilled when she was cleared to hit and able to participate in the Hatters final fall games in 2012.
Over winter break, Read continued to ramp up her rehab, eyeing a return for the spring season. She pitched 3-4 days a week, gradually increasing her pitch count and exertion level. She said by December she was close to 100 percent from an effort standpoint, but then she had to start relearning how to pitch.
"Because it was a good 7-8 months of not pitching, I had to reteach my arm how to throw the pitches and how to spin the ball," Read said.
As the season approached, Read's excitement level continued to build.
"I was really excited to know that I was able to actually throw from the mound, and to show the coaches and team what I could do," Read said. "I just had this feeling like OK, I am at this next level and I really want to show them how I was able to pitch before I got hurt."
Despite all her determination and passion to get back in the circle to pitch, Read's arm was just not ready to compete. She struggled to get batters out in her game opportunities, and even in practice, the results were not what she was accustomed to.
"Throughout the spring, it was pretty frustrating, because I realized I wouldn't be the same," Read said. "There were some days I didn't know if this is what I still wanted to do. Even the bullpen, just practicing, the pitches wouldn't do anything close to what I wanted them to do. That was really frustrating."
The frustration continued to build, and Read considered calling it career. However, just as Dr. Eaton and Larry Mayol were there for her at the perfect time, so, too, was Stetson's pitching coach Vanessa Bataille.
"To have 'Coach B' spend so much time with me and try to keep me positive when I was frustrated meant so much." Read said. "She spent a lot of time with me, and she just talked me through things."
Read's parents also inspired her to keep working.
"They supported me and were there for me, like parents are," Read said. "My dad has been my coach my whole life. He said, 'You want to show people you can do this, so go back out there.'"
With a new sense of motivation, Read worked hard over the summer, with one primary area of focus:
"Throwing, throwing, and more throwing," Read said. "I worked with a pitching coach two to three times a week, and then I threw more on my own."
Pitch after pitch, workout after workout, Read was gradually seeing some improvement. She said she really noticed more movement on her pitches during fall practices and scrimmages back at Stetson.
"I think my teammates noticed a difference, too," Read said. "Having them say simple things like, 'Wow, you are looking real good today,' or, 'your pitches are really moving today,' that really encouraged me."
Right from opening day, Read has been instrumental in the Hatters' success this year. She tossed a one-hit shutout on Feb. 7 against Rhode Island and has been a mainstay in the starting rotation ever since. She enters this weekend's series with Lipscomb with a 10-2 record and a 2.70 ERA, with 44 strikeouts in 77.2 innings of work.
"It feels awesome," Read said. "Even though we had success last year, I feel like I didn't do anything to contribute. I feel like the main way I can contribute to this team is through pitching, so I try to focus on that every day."
Bataille is also pleased to see the success Read is having this season.
"I am so proud of Sarah's efforts to push through the adversity, pain and fear," Bataille said. "None of us were sure how long it would take for her to work her way back into previous form, and I appreciate her allowing me to work alongside her. I only wish we had another year, but I'm excited about where we are going this year."
The Hatters (29-8, 13-4 A-Sun) will host the Bisons (34-9, 14-6) in a key three-game Atlantic Sun Conference series this weekend at Patricia Wilson Field. The series winner will have an inside track to the no. 2 seed for the conference tournament which carries a first-round bye.
Read says she excited about the Hatters' prospects down the stretch and into the postseason.
"I have so much confidence in this team," Read said. "Even if we are down by a run or two, I feel like I never really worry, even if I am the one on the mound. I always feel like we are going to get the job done somehow."
Tickets for this weekend's games start at just $5 and can be purchased online or at the Patricia Wilson Field box office. Stetson students, faculty, and staff are free with a valid ID.
Subscription based live video will be available on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson softball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging system will provide in-game updates as well.

ACCRA, 15 March 2011 – It is up to the African governments to make sure there is full transparency and accountability of resources, including in the petroleum sector, and that they are used effectively to generate revenues for economic growth, said participants at an international policy conference that ended in Accra today.
The two-day event, titled "Competitiveness and Diversification: Strategic Challenges in a Petroleum-Rich Economy", was organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
"African leaders must have bold visions and good planning. Ambition is the catalyst that can propel African leaders to bring about structural changes and create wealth and opportunities for decent jobs on a sustainable basis, as well as the right infrastructure, and add value to natural resources," said UNIDO Director-General, Kandeh K. Yumkella.
"African countries must set a bold development agenda for the next 20 years to restructure their economies, and diversify beyond oil and gas to avoid the so-called 'Dutch disease'. They must make sure the new wealth does not destroy the old one. Africa must develop manufacturing to become competitive on a global scale." The "Dutch disease", or the resource curse, is the often observed connection between the increase in exploitation of natural resources and the decline of the manufacturing sector.
Director-General Yumkella met today with the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Evans Atta Mills. Yumkella was accompanied by Mohamed Ibn Chambas, the Secretary-General of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Secretariat.
The President called upon UNIDO to use the conference model to turn it into a broader dialogue in the region on the issue of diversification.
Yumkella also said that "Ghana can become a model for the West African sub region. A stable democracy coupled with the oil find could turn the country into an economic powerhouse." But industrialization policy, he added, should include agribusiness and agro-industries as an extra engine of economic growth.
He went on to say that UNIDO stood ready to assist Ghana in building its industrial capacity. "UNIDO works to reduce poverty through sustainable industrial development and assists countries like Ghana in developing the productive sector, increasing their participation in international trade while safeguarding the environment," said Yumkella.
At the conference, Ghana Government representatives said they were committed to make sure the oil find became a blessing rather than a curse, as had been the case of some countries.
The Minister of Trade and Industry, Hanna Tetteh, said: "This conference is an opportunity for participants to reflect on how the availability of petroleum resources could affect industrial development policies and programmes. The discussion has given us food for thought for considering development options, in terms of new sectors of our economy, and translating these resources into a variety of products and services for our own consumption and for export."
Participants, including African ministers, researchers, and business experts in the oil and gas industry, agreed on the need to improve the governing structures in African countries, and to fight corruption through democratic reform and the rule of law. National resources belong to the people not politicians, they said. Future generations should not be deprived. The State should act as a trustee of the people.
Experts speaking at the event suggested Ghana closely looked at Norway's successful experience in dealing with oil revenues, including setting up an independent authority, or tasking the central bank to properly account for oil proceeds, and protect them from misuse.
The Norwegian model established the principles that natural wealth belongs to all citizens, including the unborn, and that all mining deals should be completely transparent to the public. Adherence to these principles ensures that private rent-seeking and appropriation of oil profits, a major dimension of the so-called resource curse, is avoided.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Last week I flew to Arizona to face a jury of my peers in a Phoenix courtroom. The charge? Publishing racist literature back in the 19th century under the penname of Mark Twain, the Honorable Judge Michael McVee presiding. The Plaintiff? Mrs. Allen's AP English classes of Deer Valley High School in Glendale. These kids were not only ready for Mark Twain, they bought new clothes for the occasion.
So off we went in a yellow school bus for the courthouse, Mrs. Allen, full of composure and confidence, a few scholars from the prosecuting team, a few from the defense, a few appointed witnesses to call, and forty members of the jury, all but the defense burning holes in my white suit with their eyes. Me worry? Not me. .. nooo.
As judge McVee entered the courtroom we all rose respectfully and he gave us our instructions, whereupon, these light-hearted high school juniors turned deadly serious, and my troubles began.
The charge of racism in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn I was able to fend off without breaking a sweat. But then came a barrage of charges involving the "Goshoot" Indians in Rouging It, immediately followed by the "Concerning the Jews," where all I remembered saying was, "The Jews are the world's intellectual aristocracy." They even dragged the French into the fray, when all I said was, "I think statistics will bear me out, every Frenchman above the age of sixteen and below the age of 116 has at least one wife to whom he is not married."
Suddenly I was starting to feel a little damp under the arms. My argument for using satire to expose racist attitudes of a society were falling short, as was my argument that by definition "racism" assumes an attitude of superiority, of which I harbor none. "I have no prejudices as to cast, no prejudices as to creed, and no prejudices as to color. All I need to know about a man is that he is a human being ... he can be no worse than that." Albeit, I was dropping feathers into the Grand Canyon, hoping to hear an echoes when they hit bottom.
The verdict was unanimous -guilty as charged. Judge McVee sentenced me to 20 hours of public service which I am going to begin performing tonight by watching the Saints-Falcons game at a local pub with some pals. That should knock a couple hours off right there.
This was the fourth Trial of the Century with Mrs. Allen's Deer Valley scholars, we are now two and two. I can't wait for the rubber match next year. I'm determined to be exonerated, though I know I'm going to have to study harder and longer than they do, and yet somehow I don't know if that is possible.
Meanwhile, I'm inspired to call my esteemed stock broker, Russell Cory, and ask him to invest my portfolio in stocks and bonds and derivatives for the future of this next generation...

Queen Elizabeth had some cheery news to start her week: Her husband Prince Philip left the hospital Monday after an 11-day stay.
"He is in good spirits," a royal source says, noting the spring in the step of the Duke of Edinburgh, 92, as he left the clinic with a book under his arm. "He practically ran out of there."
He headed to Windsor Castle, where the Queen, 87, is based for a week of events, beginning with the Order of the Garter ceremony and then several days' horseracing at Royal Ascot.
Philip, who spent his birthday in the hospital last week, was admitted to the London Clinic June 6, for an "exploratory" operation on his abdomen. Palace sources had said he was expected to stay for up to two weeks.
A spokesman tells PEOPLE that Philip will be convalescing for the next two months and plans to resume his royal duties in the fall.
"He has expressed his thanks to the medical staff at the London Clinic and the many members of the public who have sent him good wishes."
Philip received about 1,000 cards and letters, a source says. The Queen, as well as his grandchildren, including Prince William and Prince Harry, paid Philip visits in the hospital.
Later Monday, Philip was not at his wife's side as she led a procession through the grounds of Windsor Castle for the annual Order of the Garter service.
In a break with tradition, she was instead flanked for the walk to St. George's Chapel by her especially attentive son Prince Charles and her grandson Prince William, both in velvet gowns and plumed hats.

Cheshtangs are chinese, japanese, and korean people. Usually in farsi, the word "cheshtang" means a man/women who has tight eyes like chinese, japanese, and korean people. If you up to a cheshtang and say, "hey yo cheshtang whats up"? They will be so confused, but if you call them chiney, they'll get so pissed of at you. Cheshtang is the same definiton as bushchob, but bushchob means plate in farsi and usually cheshtangs have flat faces so they call them bushchobs (plates).
cheshtang: kooneecheewah welcome to my store, what do you want?

A recent study from the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development at Iowa State University found that the growth in ethanol production in the United Stated reduced wholesale gasoline prices by $1.09 a gallon last year. That is a significant amount, especially if that amount were added to our gasoline prices. Another $1.09 a gallon would have hurt all of us.
Two economists, professors Dermont J. Hayes at Iowa State and Xiaodong Du at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, examined the impact of increased ethanol production going back to 2000. From January 2000 to December 2011, this ethanol reduced wholesale gasoline prices by 29 cents a gallon across all of the U.S.
By regions, the Midwest had the biggest reduction of 45 cents, while the east and west coasts had a reduction of about 20 cents a gallon. In 2011 the impact on gasoline prices was found to be substantially higher because of more ethanol produced and higher crude oil prices. The average reduction was $1.09 across all regions and ranged from 73 cents a gallon in the Gulf Coast to $1.69 in the Midwest.
According to the study, average crude oil price went from about $80 a barrel to $95 in 2011. Average wholesale gasoline prices increased 30 percent. This wider than normal price difference between ethanol and gasoline provided further economic incentive for more ethanol production.
This study suggests to us that ethanol production benefits our economy in several ways. The impact of lower gasoline prices is a huge one.
An improved market for corn, helping farmer incomes, is another benefit. Higher corn prices have helped farmers pay down debt, buy new equipment and generally improve their lives.
Every gallon of ethanol we produce and use as fuel in our cars, trucks and other equipment is one less gallon of fuel we have to import from foreign sources. It helps us become energy self-sufficient.
Also, the production of ethanol takes about one-third of the corn. Another portion is fed to livestock as distillers grain, either wet or dried. So very little of the grain is lost but used in by-products.
Some groups are rightfully concerned that, with the hunger in the world, we should be feeding the corn to people rather than using it for fuel. We can and do produce enough corn for both. The problem we have in the world is getting the food to where it is badly needed. Some governments are not willing to let outside food supplies enter their country.
As we look around our area this spring, we see field after field planted to corn and soybeans. Dan Keep, agronomist for Western Reserve Farm Cooperative, says that more corn than usual has been planted, and "more of everything has been planted because it has been great planting weather."
Drive around the area and see the large fields that have been planted. Earlier in the year you would have seen some good-sized equipment tilling the ground and planting the crops. But at this writing, we are really needing a good rain. A nice, gentle, soaking rain with warm weather and farmers could sit on their back porch and watch the crops grow. Maybe that's too much to expect. And, unfortunately the weeds would grow too!

In the African-American community, every so often the debate rages about whether those who are representing our community in various facets of corporate and government life are doing so effectively, with the community's interests at heart.
Because in the Black community there is an unwritten rule that dictates that when you are elevated to a position of influence you must give back to your roots, something that every community that has strived for the right to self-determination in this country has always done.
Given the state that Black America is in today, this debate regarding the relevance of our Black executives and their contributions to the communities that gave birth to them cannot be understated.
So on Monday I went to the 27th floor of the headquarters of General Motors (GM) in the Renaissance Center to sit down with Roderick D. Gillum, outgoing vice president, Corporate Responsibility and Diversity for GM, chairman of the GM Foundation and also head of Motor Enterprises Inc, a subsidiary of GM specializing in providing capital for minority suppliers.
During our almost an hour and a half conversation GM's top Black executive discussed his role of connecting Detroit and other communities at the highest level of the executive chain of a company that was once heralded as the world's largest publicly traded company.
But first he explained that his humble beginnings growing up on Dexter and the Boulevard in Detroit always inculcated in him a sense of responsibility and responding to the needs of the community.
"There was quite a distance between Dexter and the Boulevard and the General Motors building. And I think over time that distance shortened a little bit," Gillum said. "So GM has been a good company and always from my standpoint created opportunities, helped established the African-American middle class in this community. It is a very proud legacy. So I was pleased 30 years ago to become part of it."
ARMED WITH a law degree from Northeastern University School of Law in Boston, Gillum, a Michigan State University graduate, went to GM in 1979 after a stint as an attorney with the National Labor Relations Board in Detroit, rising through every rank at GM including becoming secretary of the board of directors.

In order to be in compliance with the new FCC rule regarding the pass-through of Descriptive Audio, which is a narration of the video that is happening on screen, KMBC-TV and KCWE-TV will begin passing Descriptive Audio on its SAP, or Secondary Audio Program audio channel whenever it is provided by the ABC and CW networks. When descriptive audio is not available, the SAP channel will either provide Spanish language audio or a monaural mix of the primary English audio associated with the channel. If you are hearing the alternate audio and you do not wish to hear it, the fix could be as close as your television's or set-top box's remote control. Just look at the remote and find a button that is labeled MTS, SAP or Audio. Press this button one time and a display on your TV will show you the audio that your set is tuned to, (i.e., English or Spanish). If it shows AUDIO 2 or Spanish, press the button again until it displays AUDIO 1 or English then press ENTER or OK. With that, the audio should be correct.
However, on some TV's and/or cable boxes, the SAP audio selection could be in a menu setting. In all cases, please refer to your owner's manual if the instructions above don't help. Or, you can send us an e-mail through our website at http://www.kmbc.com/tv/contact use the pull down menu to select ENGINEERING. Please tell us the make and model of your TV and we'll try to respond to you with instructions for your particular TV.

Purchased from Edoardo Pierotti in 1884 for £4
Gaston de Foix entering Milan through the Porta Romana
Agostino Busti, known as Bambaia (about 1483-1548)
Villa Crivelli at Castellazzo, near Milan, Italy
One of seven reliefs (museum nos. 1884-652 to 658) from the tomb of Gaston de Foix showing scenes from his life. This scene depicts Gaston de Foix entering Milan through the Porta Romana. Gaston de Foix (1489-1512) was a nephew of king Louis XII of France, and the grandson of Giangaleazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan. He died in the battle of Ravenna on 11 April 1512. At the time of his death, he was governor general of the French forces in Italy, and Viceroy of Milan. His tomb was completed after the entry of King Francois I of France into Milan, on 14 September 1515, but work on the monument was abandoned in 1521/2, when Emperor Charles V and Pope Leo X took Milan. In his will of September 1528, Bambaia left the remaining marble intended for the tomb to the church of S. Marta in Milan, but the project was never to be completed. In the mid-sixteenth century, Vasari saw the unfinished tomb in S. Marta. He described how there were ten reliefs depicting scenes from the Life of Gaston de Foix lying on the floor, not yet built into the monument. While there were many large finished figures, there were also some only half finished, or roughed out. There were also many carvings of foliate decoration and trophies and weapons. At this stage, some of the figures had already been stolen, sold, or placed elsewhere. Since Vasari gave this description, the tomb has suffered further losses.
The surviving elements comprise:
1. The effigy, transferred to the Museo Archeologico in Milan in 1806, now in the Castello Sforzesco in Milan (V&A cast 1884-666)
2. Seven reliefs, with scenes from the life of Gaston de Foix in the Villa Crivelli at Castellazzo, known to have arrived there prior to 1672 (V&A casts 1884-652 to 658)
3. Six fragmentary statues of Virtues, and other fragments of the monument also at Catellazzo. These entered the Villa between 1673 and 1712 (not represented at the V&A in casts)
4. Four decorative panels, showing weapons and trophies, in the Museo Civico in Turin (not represented at the V&A in casts)
There are three marble reliefs (museum nos. 7527-1860, 400-1854 and 7260-1857) depicting mythological scenes, in the style of Bambaia, and three figures of Virtues, attributed to Bambaia (museum nos. 4912-1858, 7100-1860 and 332-1903) in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Both the reliefs of the figures have been connected with the tomb of Gaston de Foix.

BayPay Event: Social Media Payments - February 12, 2013 - Mountain View, CA
The BayPay Forum
Tuesday, February 12, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Dear BayPay Members,
Social Media is big, we all know and even if the start of Facebook on Wall Street was far from a rising star, analysts predict that 2013 will see an increase of mobile advertising making Facebook a buy at this time.
At BayPay, we have talked about the great expectations of social commerce in the past so for the second event of the year, we want to revisit this side of the business and learn from companies that dedicated resources to building a business around social commerce.
Are we there yet in Social Commerce? On one side, Payvment, the Facebook eCommerce platform announced it was shutting down and was handing over its customers to Ecwid. On the other, Intuit has acquired, according to Techcrunch, Payvment's team, technology and patents demonstrating their seriousness in this area. Other companies have developped some interesting solutions for retailers and are using big data to tackle the customer engagement problem.
How do you use Social Media as a merchant to increase sales and get a better customer experience? Open Graph provides a lot of interesting information to profile consumers but how can we use it? Is it better to build or partner? Can social data finally solve the fraud problem? Facebook and Twitter are investing heavily on these new ways to conduct business so is there room for a startup in this area?
These are a few of the questions we will ask our panel following their presentations to explain the way they see this market, what they provide and what their vision is for the future. Like our previous event in January on Loyalty, Coupons and Mobility, 5 companies will do a presentation followed by an interactive panel session.
If you have questions or just want to learn more about this industry in the making, this is the right time to do so. Please, register in advance so we can get organized to order the right amount of food and drinks.

The BayPay Forum
If you are a member of the payment industry, you are invited to join BayPay, a networking group of the Silicon Valley focused on payments and composed exclusively of members in the payment community or investors in this area. If you are not yet a member and would like to join, reply to this email to get your free membership with a quick description on how you fit in the payment industry. Even after all these years, the payments industry is still expanding in both mature and emerging markets worldwide as the industry adapts to new market opportunities. New technologies including contactless cards, cell phone integration, biometrics, RFID and strong authentication are emerging and potentially creating new challenges for both financial institutions and their customers. Prepaid cards, gift cards, new forms of payment like PayPal, are all vivid demonstrations of the vibrancy of new thinking in the payments industry. With wireless ubiquity now essentially a reality, transaction aggregation and micro payments become a necessity. As the financial industry and merchants provide more and more services online, phishing emerges as a problem that requires more education and communication with consumers.
Objective BayPay's primary goal is to provide a face-to-face professional networking forum for the regular exchange of views on these issues among active professionals within the payments industry who are located in the San Francisco Bay Area. An online BayPay group on Yahoo! provides opportunities for members to interact among themselves between regular face-to-face meetings.
BayPay Is a joint initiative of Glenbrook, Edgar Dunn & Company and Daniel Chatelain from QSecure, Inc. that is open to other companies or individuals contributions.
Membership To ensure an appropriate level of professional participation, membership in BayPay group is by invitation only. BayPay members invite others to join based upon their own judgment as to who could best contribute to the group. To subscribe please go here.
