A Georgia felon who moved to Buffalo has pleaded guilty, as charged, to criminal possession of a weapon, the Erie County District Attorney's Office announced Monday.
Jerome C. Hearn, 37, was living with his girlfriend in the Buffalo area when she called police to remove him from her home, according to a release from the office.
The police discovered a loaded pistol by his side.
Hearn has been jailed since his March 21 arrest. He faces up to 15 years in prison when sentenced on March 12 by State Supreme Court Justice Deborah A. Haendiges.
While in custody, Hearn had called and written to the woman, trying to persuade her from testifying, according to the District Attorney's Office.

CHARLESTON (AP) - A former longtime Wayne County banker is the newest member of West Virginia's House of Delegates.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's office announced Tuesday that he's appointed Timothy Kinsey to the seat vacated by former Speaker Rick Thompson.
Thompson resigned to join Tomblin's Cabinet as Veterans' Assistance secretary. The House is convening Tuesday to elect a new speaker.
The 64-year-old Kinsey is a Democrat and recently retired as president of United National Bank for the Cabell and Wayne county region. The Marshall University graduate spent more than a quarter-century in banking.
Kinsey's wife, Christie, is a financial adviser and a Republican who's contributed both to the GOP and Democrats.
Timothy Kinsey will serve out the remaining term for Thompson's seat, which is up again for election in 2014.

IxDA Cape Town
Message to the group
Join IxDA Cape Town, the first Interaction Design Association Group in South Africa
We are a group of interaction design practitioners and lecturers in Cape Town who realize that we need to raise awareness for our profession and the potential value of interaction design for the economic development of our region and South Africa as a whole.
The group leaders are Wayne Coughlan (CPUT), Jörn Messeter (Malmo University, CPUT) and Michael Wolf (Formula D interactive)
As individual members of IxDA we follow the activities of the organisation, yet, we understand that creating a local group will give us better access to the network and resources. Our aim is to create a network node for IxDA (the first one) in Africa, which will allow us to harness and plan local activities and get more visibility internationally. Cape Town has a large multimedia and digital design sector, professionals who design interfaces, but the term 'interaction design' remains largely unknown. We would like to expose the local industry with international best practise and standards, whilst adding our local insights to the global discourse on interaction design.
Last, but not least, we would love to see the IxDA Conference come to Cape Town some day. Besides Design Indaba, we only had DIY (Digital Interactive Systems) in Cape Town in 2008 and we are hungry for international conferences in the field of design, technology and interaction design.
What is the vision for the group?
The underlying vision is that Cape Town will become an interaction design hub in Africa and the world. The group will become an umbrella and interaction point for local professionals, lecturers and related businesses. The aims of the group will be the creation of networking opportunities for local professionals and linking them to the global IxDA community. We will create a forum for sharing and learning locally and build a portal which becomes visible to the international community. Possible activities will be regular networking events, newsletters and publications, exhibitions and awards.
Please sign up with the group and we will engage you in our future activities.

And for 30 years before that, political reporter George Borrelli of The Buffalo News penned the same thoughts in this space.
So it ranks as no surprise that efforts to address an April vacancy at the authority are already under way, and that the entire enterprise provides an accurate glimpse into the power struggles that traditionally mark Erie County politics.
Start with Jack O'Donnell, the hard-charging and politically connected lobbyist who has nevertheless injected an air of thoughtfulness into Water Authority affairs. His term expires in April, and some powerful forces want him to stay.
O'Donnell has worked for Sen. Chuck Schumer, his wife works for Gov. Andrew Cuomo and he has always been close to big political names like Mayor Byron Brown and former Democratic Chairman Steve Pigeon.
But O'Donnell is no political pal of Jeremy Zellner. The new Erie County Democratic chief will have lots to say about who inherits the plum patronage post and its $22,500 stipend. By all appearances, Zellner favors Chris O'Brien, a well-known local attorney who serves on the University at Buffalo Council and has become a generous benefactor of Democratic Headquarters.
"I think Chris is great," Zellner said late last week while avoiding any official endorsement. "He's highly qualified and an outside-the-box kind of guy."
Zellner occupies a unique perch in the upcoming skirmish because county legislators making the decision will also seek his endorsement. And make no mistake about it – Democratic primaries galore will mark the 2013 political season.
On the other hand, Zellner works for the Democratic legislators as their chief of staff.
Stick with us here, because it gets more complicated.
Even though Zellner leads not only the Legislature's dominant party but Erie County's, too, other party bosses also have their say. O'Donnell, for example, is close to the Conservative Party and its chairman – Ralph Lorigo. And several Democratic legislators will receive gentle reminders that Conservatives provided their margin of victory last time up.
And because Erie County Dems resemble Afghan warlords in how they run their party, not all will jump on the O'Brien bandwagon Zellner has set in motion. That means Erie County Republican Chairman Nick Langworthy and his legislative troops could also have a say.
The O'Brien candidacy sheds light on another fissure in local Democratic politics, the one between Headquarters and City Hall. The new chairman has worked hard to bridge the gap that opened between former Chairman Len Lenihan and Brown. Zellner and Brown have thawed some of those icy relations in recent weeks, and the new chairman has not ruled out the party nod for the mayor's re-election effort this year.
But now a new effort to knock off O'Donnell – a longtime Brown and Pigeon ally – may only throw that whole deal back into the deep freeze.
Starting next week, the Legislature will waste the time of well-intentioned citizens who applied for the post after the process "opened up" several years ago. Some of those folks will be quizzed in sessions that might even highlight real, live qualifications.
But most will not testify how they might further the objectives of a bunch of politicians around here. And the bet here is that the legislators won't ask them.
Despite all the fun and games, the water still runs through pipes from Lake Erie to the homes of 540,000 Erie County residents every day. Life goes on.
But so does politics in Western New York. And if you're enthralled by the way it works in this part of the world, there is no better vantage point to watch than at the Erie County Water Authority.

BARCELONA, Spain
Christopher Froome will be chasing an elusive victory, while Alberto Contador will start the long road back from doping disgrace when the Spanish Vuelta starts today in Pamplona.
Froome finished second in the Tour de France behind Sky teammate Bradley Wiggins. He was runner-up in last year�s Vuelta.
�This race is definitely a great opportunity for me,� Froome said. �I will do my part, and I know the rest of the team is ready. I�d certainly love to win a Grand Tour after finishing second in the last two I�ve done.�
Froome�s main challenger likely is Contador, who will be competing in his first major race since serving a doping ban that cost him his third Tour title.
Contador, who won the Vuelta in 2008, completed the ban this month after testing positive for the banned stimulant clenbuterol during the 2010 Tour. Sidelined for more than a year, he used the seven-day Eneco Tour in Belgium and the Netherlands to warm up for the Vuelta with his Team Saxo Bank.
Contador, who denies he doped and blamed contaminated beef, said he has been affected by the ban and was eager to compete again.
�My spirits are high, and I am up for the race,� he said. �What I have been through during the last months has left its mark, it is impossible to ignore it. I have suffered, but I am now looking to the future. I am motivated and excited for the Vuelta to begin.�
The Vuelta, the third of the classic European summer races after the Tour and Giro d� Italia, will begin today with a 10.2-mile team time trial through the narrow cobblestone streets of Pamplona and will finish in the city�s bull ring, retracing the route of its famous running of the bulls.
The 67th edition will be based in northern Spain and will take riders through 2,050 miles divided into 21 stages, including two rest days. The race will end Sept. 9 in Madrid.
Five-time Tour winner Miguel Indurain, who failed to win the Vuelta in his native Spain, predicted a close race.
�The best names in the world are going to fight for the victory,� he told Spanish sports daily AS, predicting that Froome and Contador will face competition from Alejandro Valverde, Juan Jose Cobo, Joaquim Rodriguez, Igor Anton and Robert Gesink.
Indurain said Contador was �a born winner ... I�m sure he will be eager to win on his return.�
Cobo, who edged Froome to win last year, returns with new Movistar teammate Valverde, while Rodriguez, who finished second at the Giro d�Italia, will be supported by two-time Vuelta winner and Katusha teammate Denis Menchov.
Froome again proved to be one of the best climbers in this summer�s Tour when he had to slow down for Wiggins to keep pace with him on the tougher mountain stages.
�Froome could be the main rival to take into account,� Contador said. �He has a potent team, and he is a very strong rider. In 2011 he came close to winning the Vuelta, and he was the strongest rider in the Tour.�
The Vuelta�s course appears perfect for the mountain skills of the 27-year-old British rider, who finally will be riding to win and with a team to back him.
�It�s definitely going to be a change, a new experience for me. I�m not riding at someone else�s speed,� Froome said. �I�d like to think I�ve learned from the last two Grand Tours I�ve done how to pace myself, how I need to ride to be in optimum position throughout three weeks, not just a couple of days.�
This is the second consecutive year the Vuelta will pass through the Basque Country after a 33-year absence because of political unrest related to Basque separatist group ETA, Euskadi Ta Askatasuna.
Riders will face 13 mountain stages, six of which have summit finishes, including three in a row over stages 14-16. The penultimate stage will finish in a 7,380-foot climb at the Bola del Mundo outside the Spanish capital. The course has one individual time trial, coming in the 11th stage.
�Those (mountain stages) should be decisive, together with the individual time trial,� Contador said.
It�s Contador�s first competition in front of his home fans since the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected his claim that meat caused his positive test in 2010. He subsequently was stripped of his Tour title from that year, leaving him with two victories in cycling�s premier event. The 29-year-old rider remains a popular, if now questioned, sports figure in Spain.
Froome was hesitant to signal out Contador as his main rival.
�I can�t really say. I haven�t ever raced with him,� Froome said. �I�m sure he�s very motivated after his suspension, and obviously in the Vuelta, his home race, it�ll be added motivation for him. We�ll find out during the race.�

And Mrs. P, is -1.00 the standard deduction for an extended lift?
In other words, if the lift indeed exceeded the time limit, the Shibutanis are not being penalized unfairly, are they?
In any case, I hope the Shibs will skate a strong FD.
Proud of our SD performance. On to the FD! Good luck to the men tonight! Thanks for all the support! #Omaha2013

I still don't understand the rationale for the rule that says a lift can't be too long. Why does the CoP insist that a lift can only be held for a certain amount of time?
Are they even past Skate America level/capacity? If they can't boost the attendance at the event, might as well boost the scores!
Meryl and Charlie's SD http://youtu.be/r3AI2sqbX-E
Not keen on their free dance, but of all the programs this season, Meryl and Charlie's Giselle is my fave in any discipline. EXCELENTE!

I hope the Shibutani's come back strong tomorrow!! After Davis and White, they are my favorite ice dancing team
Lifts are only a highlight in a dance. Pure dance doesn't even have lifts (see ballroom rules).
I like the Shibs, but I am personally happy for Madison Chock. Hope she and Bates get to go to Worlds. Really looking forward to the free dance!
For those ice dance experts, especially pre-cop, weren't lifts timed before CoP too? I somehow thought that one of the 'big deals' in dance lifts was the ability to get in to position effortlessly and quickly - do the ta da moment - then get out equally efortlessly and quickly.

Coming into the month of July, Charleston coach Mike Anhaeuser knew that a three-game homestand late in the month would be crucial for the Battery's playoffs hopes.
The Battery, which started out the season so strongly, stumbled during a seven-week stretch in the middle of the season, going 0-3-6 in USL Pro competition from May 25 until July 13.
With three straight home matches at Blackbaud Stadium, Anhaeuser knew the Battery needed results to make a push for the postseason.
Mission accomplished.
Dane Kelly, Nicki Paterson and Heviel Cordoves each scored to lead Charleston past Los Angeles, 3-0, Saturday night before a crowd of 4,614 at Blackbaud Stadium.
It was the third straight victory for Charleston (10-5-6, 36 points), which finished the homestand with a 3-0-0 mark and more importantly with nine points, all but solidifying a spot in next month's USL Pro playoffs. Charleston vaulted into third place in the USL Pro standings with five games remaining in the regular season. The top four teams earn a home game in the opening round of the playoffs.
The Blues fell to 9-8-6 (33 points).
It was the second straight lopsided result for the Battery, which defeated Phoenix, 5-1, just three days earlier on the same field. The Battery's attack has been hitting on all cylinders of late, outscoring its last three opponents by a 9-1 margin.
"These last three games have been massive for us," Paterson said. "We've been outshooting teams, out-possessing teams and then having to settle for a draw or a loss. These last three matches have been exactly what we've needed. We didn't care how we won. We won ugly (1-0) against Dayton, and that seemed to give us a bit of confidence going forward."
Chances that the Battery was failing to convert on earlier in the season are finding their way into the back of the net now. The Battery outshot Los Angeles, 16-8, and more than doubled the Blues' scoring chances.
"We're clicking right now," Anhaeuser said. "Everyone is starting to play well and click together. We're defending properly and we're getting that final bit of quality around the net and scoring. It's been a great three games, but we can't be satisfied with it. We've got five more games coming up."
One of those games will come next Saturday night at Blackbaud Stadium against Richmond (12-0-8), a team that has not lost a game yet this season.
"We played a very good game against them up at their place, and we're looking forward to getting them down here," Anhaeuser said.
After a Colin Falvey goal was disallowed in the 11th minute for offsides, the Battery grabbed a 1-0 lead on Paterson's sixth goal of the season in the 24th minute. Paterson got the ball at the top of the 18-yard box, stepped past a Blues defender and chipped the ball past Los Angeles goalie Carl Woszczynski for the score.
The Battery pushed their advantage to 2-0 on Kelly's seventh goal of the season in the 55th minute. Quinton Griffith came storming down the left flank, beating two Blues defenders with his speed. Griffith crossed the ball to Kelly on the back post, who easily tapped it in for a goal. It was Kelly's third goal in the last two games.
"Dane is playing with a lot of confidence," Anhaueser said. "He's been finishing fantastic the last two weeks in training, and you can see that carrying over to the games. It was a beautiful pass from Quinton coming down the wing."
Cordoves put the finishing touches on the game, volleying in a perfect pass from mid-fielder Ben Fisk just before the start of stoppage time.
Battery's Jose Cuevas brings the ball downfield against Los Angeles during their match Saturday at Blackbaud Stadium.×

Pear 'Conference'
Pyrus communis
The best known of all pears, 'Conference' is excellent eaten as a dessert pear but also exceptional when cooked. The long bell shaped fruits with firm flesh can be eaten hard or fully ripe with a smooth juicy flavour. Trees crop late in the season from October to November, and the fruit will store until January. Enjoy 'Conference' pears at their best by picking them slightly under-ripe, store them in a cool place and bring indoors to ripen slowly.
Grafted onto 'Quince A' rootstock to produce a tree with moderate vigour and promote fruiting at an early age. These strong growing pear trees are partially self-fertile but make the ideal planting partner for another variety such as 'Williams Bon Chretien' to aid pollination and increase the yield. If you only have room for one pear tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator. Rootstock: Quince A. Height and spread: 4m (13').
Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.

When done, you will have a rugburn on your face from her butt pubes and you will be brown like a Mexican cause of the dinkelberries.

Let's not highlight inferiority complex
Do we really need an appearance by Anderson Cooper to reaffirm our worth? More importantly, why are we looking for validation from him or anyone else for that matter?
He declined the Dyngus Day invitation, which prompted the event organizer to state, "we're going to make his life miserable." Yes, that will surely entice the already reticent Anderson to come to our town. He apologized last year for his impromptu giggling fit while covering this Polish tradition. Now, let's move on.
Let us not be thought of as the town with low self-esteem. The more we try to prove, the more our inferiority complex shows!

County commissioner: Jefferson County Sheriff Shirley resigns
January 11, 2013
CHARLES TOWN - Jefferson County Commissioner Patsy Noland said Friday evening that Jefferson County Sheriff Robert "Bobby" Shirley has tendered his resignation as sheriff, effective immediately....

Not to take up for Shirley, but rumors persist that a former Sheriff who lost to him turned him in to the Feds. The Feds are just as dirty. Camiletti, the AUSA was using an incident over 30 years old stating that it would predict his behavior now. That is just wrong. So, Shirley is wrong, the former Sheriff may be a rat becuase he lost to him and turned him in over sour grapes, and the Feds are just evil. Never trust them.

I hope the newspaper does some home work and also checks into this Chief of staff who was the Chief Deputy when Shirley did some of these crimes (urinating on a man in custody). He also was a Deputy for the department when the shooting happened. He and Shirley also retired at the same time and Shirley is the one who brought him back to the department and made him Chief of Staff.Does this sound fishy to anyone else but me.Its time to fix the department not to keep going down hill.

This is a great day for jefferson County but the County Commission is going to let a Chief of Staff with no powers of arrest;who does not live in the County run the department.I dont think that is lawful and we should also blame the Commissioners for all this as they should have stepped in before the election as they knew about Shirley's past crimes (the shooting and the urination on a man in his costody)and more.They also were told he was harrassing the two Deputies that were Federal witnesses in the case and did nothing. Ballenger should be put in now as Sheriff!!!If he would take the job.

This entire situation is scary. Shirley was allowed to keep his job after shooting at someone sleeping with his wife? Just watched the videos. Never had before. After high speed chases, we would expect adrenalin to be running high in police officers. Truthfully, they could have done a lot more damage. But, if you don't try to rob a bank in the first place and terrorize the community, you won't get chased by the police.

I can guarantee that SME/Maj will not "eat crow" but instead will blame his usual suspects that are the source of everything he disagrees with.

It will be interesting to learn why he is on home detention since that would not happen by a change in a plea. Perhaps he violated the original conditions of his release? In my opinion the consensus is that the excessive force could be argued given the nature of the crime but the charge of falsifying records is huge! And the Feds do not have time to sit around and target innocent people especially high profile ones. They new their evidence was 100 percent able to convict.

according to the Herald..... "I was working one day, and I drove up on them and caught them in the act," said Shirley, who was then a lieutenant with the Sheriff's Department.
"I shot at him one time and that was it." "Well, I had never been faced with that before, but I did that time," Shirley responded. "I don't typically, no."
Shirley is no longer married to the woman who was involved in the incident.

Everyone exhale. The Air National Guard unit in Niagara Falls is on the verge of acquiring a new mission, one that will ensure the 107th Airlift Wing will remain stationed there.
It is even possible that the decision will prompt the addition of new jobs at the base if, along with its new mission of directing the flights of unmanned drone aircraft, it is also able to keep some or all of the four C-130 cargo planes the Air Force has been threatening to reassign.
Either way, it's another resounding victory for the base that the Air Force keeps trying to ground. Credit goes to both of New York's senators, Charles M. Schumer and Kirsten E. Gillibrand, and especially to Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul, D-Hamburg, who worked diligently to save the base. Hochul lost her re-election bid to former Erie County Executive Chris Collins, but she is going out on a note of triumph. If Western New Yorkers are lucky, they haven't heard the last of her.
The new mission will put the air base on the cutting edge of 21st century military technology, and should help to preserve it from further efforts to eliminate it, at least for the foreseeable future. While drone aircraft are not expected to take off or land at the base, their flights will be directed by Guard members based there.
The new mission for the base was approved in a fiscal 2013 defense authorization bill that was finalized by a House-Senate conference committee on Tuesday. Both chambers of Congress are expected to approve it.
What remains uncertain is the fate of the four C-130s, which could yet be sent elsewhere. In fact, one of them is currently on loan to another base. Meanwhile, the other unit at the base, the Air Force Reserve's 914th Airlift Wing, will continue to fly its eight C-130s under terms of the House-Senate committee agreement.
Lawmakers are continuing the work of keeping the 107th's cargo planes here, arguing – correctly – that they are crucial to disaster response efforts in the Northeast. We presume that work will continue into the new year and that Collins, by then sworn in to office, will enthusiastically join the effort. Retaining those aircraft would also help to maintain employment levels at the base and could even result in the hiring of additional personnel.
The decision puts Niagara Falls squarely in the middle of a political debate about the appropriate use of drones, both in the military and domestically. We support their use in a military context, but they have opened a legitimate debate about the targeted killings for which they have become famous.
While drones have been crucial in tracking down a new kind of enemy, Washington needs to come to an agreement on the circumstances under which they should be used and who should have the authority to issue what amounts to a death sentence for anyone targeted. That now becomes a more relevant issue for Western New Yorkers.
For today, though, the base has once again averted the Air Force's misguided effort to shut it down. That's a huge victory for those who led the fight to keep it open, to the regional economy and to everyone whose family depends on it for their livelihoods.

idk what the people from s2 look like
There the same people just seven years older, so they look a little older. like Gimmy & Darry the twins are know teenages instead of little kids. the only ones who don't look older are the beast men becasue they don't age.
Remeber a hot fire can keep you warm, but it can also burn you if you are not careful.
Nia for me. She is just darn cute and has a original character design.
I agree Nia and Yoko are cute, but Darry is such a sweert heart and she is just so dang cute and sexy. I wish I was a teenage again, so I could ask her out on a date. Of ourse I'm talking about Darry when she is teenager in season two not back when she was a little girl in season one.
"some things are better left unknown"
What do you mean Rossiu is also from Gurren Lagann and he is from the same under ground village as Darry, but he was not Darry's boy friend?
I love Kamina. I seriously cried when he died. :( "You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever! "
I like Yoko.

So much for freedom and the American way. Itĺs interesting how the Pennsylvania Lottery is advertised on TV, billboards and the radio. They donĺt care if you spend your last dollar for a chance to win a one-in-a-million chance. Whom does it help?
A lot of people go to their local veterans club to spend a dollar to have a chance too win a dollar back or maybe $100, very good odds. Usually people only buy a ticket to help out their local club, that really helps our veterans.
I havenĺt seen yet where the state lottery helps veterans.
Now your local representatives want to squeeze out the veterans club. I guess they donĺt believe in the blood, sweat and tears it takes to keep your freedom, sad but true.
Hereĺs an example of your representatives hard at work: They wait till the 911 Air Wing is about to close to get in the spotlight to save it, when itĺs too late.
I guess the state doesnĺt make enough revenue on liquor or tobacco; now it has to squeeze out the veterans.
These clubs are just trying to make a few bucks to give it back. For example they go to the VA hospitals and play bingo and take the vets on outings, just to make their lives a little better. These things are done with the profit they make on the strip tickets and 50-50 sales. Is the state so greedy to take this away from the veterans?
Maybe you donĺt know but a lot of people donate their time to make the clubs a success.
Write your local representativer to rethink the new small games of chance law. Because before you know it, the American Legions and VFWs that you used to go to with your Grandpa on a Saturday evening will sadly be a thing of the past. My question is, who will be next?
As for the Pennsylvania Lottery, my Mom is 91 years old and I havenĺt seen anything to help her. Thank God she has her family to depend on and not the state lottery.

Mail delivery becoming joke
We are writing regarding the Pittsburgh/Avella/Hickory postal service. Our local Hickory mail has been moved to Avella and then delivered to Hickory. Why? We have a newer and bigger post office in Hickory.
On July 5, we received two pieces of mail, one postmarked Feb. 2 and the other Feb 3. On the front of both items was stamped, ôFound in ordinary mail,ö and handwritten was, ôMixed with a customerĺs hold mail so sorry.ö Who would have their mail held for five months? What about their bills?
One piece of our mail was a card from friends, but the other was our Hickory Telephone bill for February. We knew we had not received our bill, so we had to call HTC to get our bill. We live two doors from the telephone office. What if it had been a check lying there for five months?
With our talking to others about this we have found we are not the only ones having problems with their mail. It is getting to be a bad joke.
On top of that, the Postal Service had elimated all the help at Hickory except the postmistress, and now they are elimating her. Again, another joke.

Blue Nile gemologists recommend selecting the highest cut grade within your budget. The reason is simple: of the Four Cs, no other characteristic has a greater influence on a diamond's appearance.
A diamond's cut grade is an objective measure of a diamond's light performance, or, what we generally think of as sparkle. When a diamond is cut with the proper proportions, light is returned out of the top of the diamond (which gemologists refer to as the table). If it is cut too shallow, light leaks out of the bottom; too deep and it escapes out of the side.

Access to a quality education in a bright, safe space
Adequate schools are often scarce in developing countries—especially in rural areas. Room to Read partners with communities in several of our program countries to construct bright, safe, child-friendly classrooms so all children have a better opportunity to pursue a quality education in an environment conducive to learning.
With government funding scarce, schools in many communities where we work have fallen into disrepair and tend to be poor learning environments. We repair and renovate existing school buildings to improve lighting and ventilation, reduce noise and other distractions in the classroom and make interior spaces more conducive to teaching and learning.

Communities throughout Asia and Africa have co-invested with Room to Read to build over 1,400 new school buildings housing more than 5,500 classrooms, libraries and teachers' rooms. Communities help manage the projects on the ground and share in the costs of materials and labor. Once a building is complete it is a public school, owned and operated entirely by the local government and community.

"Judging from the reaction we've received over the years on stories about animals, along with the events the Mirror has sponsored, we know this area is especially passionate about their pets," said Mirror Managing Editor Neil Rudel. "We thought this would be a way to help dignify the passing of the family pet, along with bringing added readership to the Mirror." Beginning June 26, the Mirror pet obituary desk will be staffed weekly on Tuesdays from 1 to 4 p.m. by Joan Thompson, who can be reached at 946-7453.

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.

Community Breast Care East offers the full spectrum of breast care— mammography, ultrasound, genetic testing, diagnostics, biopsies, radiology, surgery and postoperative care. Patients on the east side of Indianapolis can receive comprehensive breast care right in their own neighborhood.
"Patients come in, get diagnosed, evaluated and have a game plan put together for them right here," said Robert J. Goulet Jr., M.D., breast surgical oncologist. "And that can all happen in a single visit."
To schedule an appointment for breast care, call 877-655-9599 or 317-355-2727. Community Breast Care East has extended evening hours from 12 to 8 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.
When it comes to breast care health, one of the major barriers women face is inconvenient hours. Standard hours of operation aren't convenient for women who work outside the home or stay-at-home moms with young children. That's why Community Breast Care East is open from 12 to 8 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month—a first in the Indianapolis marketplace.
"Our program is a full-service program, which means that the services patients receive at 8 o'clock at night would be the same services they would receive at 9 o'clock in the morning," Goulet said. "And that includes the amenities, such as free valet parking for patients."
One of the key components of the program for breast cancer patients is the nurse navigator. Patients with breast cancer have a team of specialists helping them—medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists and plastic surgeons. The nurse navigator is that constant companion who guides the patient through the process, ensuring everything is completed, goes smoothly and that the patient's questions are addressed. Meet the navigators >>
Community Breast Care is the first comprehensive health network in Indiana to earn full accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. Community has an institutional commitment to excellence, innovation and education. "It's more than just words," Goulet said. "It is truly a commitment to the women that we serve here in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas.
That commitment filters down to the other members of the breast team, all of whom are involved in research with different institutions. "For us, it's not just getting up in the morning, coming into the office and then going home at night," Goulet said. "It's a full-time commitment."
To schedule an appointment for breast care, call 877-655-9599 or 317-355-2727.

The goal of the WWE's biggest event of the year isn't to just deliver for one night, but to set the stage for the rest of the year. It's a lofty goal, but with more people watching than at any other point, it's the only goal that makes sense.
Last night's pay-per-view was a mixed bag of surprisingly good performances, lackluster finishes and expected and unexpected drama. But whatever the results of the match were, the WWE got what they wanted.
They got people talking.
The moment the Rock arrived at the pay-per-view, you knew it was going to be a special night. When Cena and Miz fought to a draw, you knew something bigger was going to happen. When the Rock ordered the restart, you knew it too.
But when the Rock hit John Cena with the Rock Bottom and the whole place exploded, it had made every other match worth it.
People would be talking now. They'll tune into Raw tonight.
There's intrigue.
How does Cena respond?
What's next for Triple H?
Is Jim Ross going to work full-time?
And are we coming to a climax with the anonymous Raw GM?
There are more than a few angles to cover and the WWE will address them all in time. No matter what happens, we know one thing after last night.
They'll be watching.

Contact Club Advisor, Darlene Rickett
From blood drives, to city cleanup, to disaster response, the Service-Learning club is dedicated to building a better community.
Among our annual and recent activities include:
The INBC Blood Drive is a club project that occurs Quarterly throughout the year to benefit recipients of blood through the Inland
Northwest Blood Center in Spokane (INBC). The INBC is a non-profit organization and SFCC community partner that focuses on the
blood needs of the Inland Northwest.
For our annual Alternate Spring Break, students traveled to the Mississippi Delta of southern Louisiana to tutor students in 3rd
and 4th grades at Pointe Aux Chenes Elementary school getting ready for their iLEAP state exams (similar to the Washington WASL
exams). This community was hit by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike and Andrew as well as being directly hit by the BP Gulf oil spill.
The students also visited New Orleans in a one-day whirl-wind tour, swam in the gulf, and canoed into the marsh with a marine
biologist from LUMCON. They toured Native lands in the bayous with a local Native American who is also a fisherman of the Cajun
culture, and learned firsthand about the issues affecting the Delta, its people and its culture. Finally, they visited Grand Isle
with a descendent of a pirate who settled there, went Cajun dancing and took private Cajun dance lessons.
In 2013, the Service-Learning Club's Alternative Spring Break adventure led students back to post-hurricane southern Louisiana
to help with clean-up activities, and students were immersed in the local culture.
The Club adventured to Hawaii in a cultural immersion service trip, combined with a Continuums of Service Conference.
In 2015, another - yet to be announced - adventure is being thought through.
This only scratches the surface. Please see our newsletters for more of
our activities!

Double-digit change dominated many areas of the midyear reports on the Lowcountry's housing front.
That included the volume of home sales up 22 percent compared to the six-month span in 2012, said the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors.
The days a home sat on the market before being sold was 82, or 26 percent fewer than the 111 days for the same span in 2012.
As of last Wednesday, 5,655 homes were classified as being actively for sale in the Multiple Listing Service database, down 10 percent from the same day in 2012.
The median price growth didn't reach double-digits, but it's worth noting it came close: $202,000, up 8.6 compared to a year ago, the association reported.
What areas of the tri-county region thrived the most between January and June?
Perhaps it's less of a surprise, but the housing hotbed was Mount Pleasant, south of the Isle of Palms Connector. The area tallied 584 homes sold in the first six months of the year. That's 156 more sales than the same span in 2012, according to local information website CharlestonRealEstateStats.com. The area's median price also grew 8 percent to $335,000.
The volume of sales surpassed the Mount Pleasant area south of the IOP Connector with 540 and the 507 transactions in the Summerville/Ridgeville area.
Affordable housing
PNC Bank recently provided $500,000 in low-cost financing to the Lowcountry Housing Trust's Revolving Loan Fund, officials said. The nonprofit's fund provides financing for affordable housing in the region.
PNC's investment comes just months after the Lowcountry Housing Trust held its inaugural summit to form a master plan to address the needs for more affordable housing in the tri-county.

I am writing in response to an article on the July 3 Opinion page titled "Repeal heath care reform." This article is overstated and thus erroneous.
It reflects the "don't tread on me" mentality that served this country well during the American revolutionary period but now only serves to further polarize this country and victimizes the truth as well as a significant portion of the population in need of affordable health care.
Allow me to cite some information from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute that evaluates federal and state fiscal policies and public programs.
A Congressional Budget Office analysis indicates that between 2014 and 2022 the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion will add just 2.8 percent to what states would have spent on Medicaid in the absence of health care reform. This is while providing health coverage to 17 million more low-income adults and children.
This 2.8 percent figure overstates the net impact on state budgets because it does not reflect the savings that state and local governments will realize in health care costs for the uninsured. The CBO estimates that the federal government will bear nearly 93 percent of the costs of the Medicaid expansion over the first nine years.
In short, the Medicaid expansion will significantly increase coverage at a modest cost to state Medicaid programs, and it will lower state costs for providing care for the uninsured.
These conclusions are supported by the experience of Massachusetts, which enacted legislation in 2006 under then Gov. Mitt Romney with core elements very similar to the Affordable Care Act. It, in essence, provided nearly universal health care coverage and had an individual mandate requiring individuals to obtain coverage.
In 2008, the first full year of implementation of the "health safety net," payments were $252 million or 38 percent less than the previous year's "uncompensated care pool" payments.
This reduction in costs coincided with a decline in the share of uninsured residents from 5.7 percent in 2007 to 2.7 percent in 2009. Romney's own state has demonstrated that this type of expanded health coverage works.
As a physician, I have worked helping to deliver health care in a variety of settings from charity institutions and free clinics to private and university hospitals during the last 49 years. I have seen the inequality in care that medicine as it is funded in this country produces. I have read the public health care data that shows how we lag behind other first world countries in the delivery of preventive health care and in the areas of maternal-child health. It is time we stopped being an embarrassment to ourselves.
