Five Buffalo schools have been awarded $4.5 million apiece in federal improvement grants – while another four schools' applications were rejected, state officials announced.
Harriet Ross Tubman, Highgate Heights, Lydia T. Wright, BUILD Academy and International Prep each were awarded $2 million for 2013-14; $1.5 million for the following year; and $1 million for 2015-16, said state Education Department spokesman Jonathan Burman.
"These state funds will bring programs and extended learning options where they are most needed," Superintendent Pamela C. Brown said in an emailed statement. "Our goal is to bring all schools into good standing as we offer a world-class education to all of the students of the Buffalo Public Schools."
The district has hired the Westminster Foundation to run Highgate Heights, in an arrangement similar to the one the district has with Johns Hopkins University to run Lafayette and East high schools. The foundation is an outgrowth of the nearby Westminster Community Charter School, which has been strongly supported by M&T Bank.
The other four schools will adopt what's known as the transformation model, which is generally seen as more moderate than the restart model that Highgate Heights will use.
Details of the school reform plans have not been released by the district or the state Education Department. Associate Superintendent Debra Sykes said the four transformation plans would include enhanced professional development for teachers, expanded parental involvement, and increased partnerships with community groups.
Four other schools' grant applications were rejected: North Park Middle, Hamlin Park Elementary, Herman Badillo Bilingual Academy and Waterfront Elementary. Although those schools did not receive the federal funding, they still must implement a reform plan, although not necessarily the exact plan they submitted to the state.
"The Buffalo School District must work with these schools to implement a whole-school reform plan through the support structures of the [school improvement grant]," Burman wrote in an email, "or the school innovation fund, or through a self-funded whole-school reform plan."
This is the second time in the past year that Waterfront has submitted a reform plan that the state rejected.
If Waterfront failed to submit an approvable plan this time, State Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. had said in interviews over the past year, he would revoke the school's registration, meaning it would be forced to close. That was the same threat King had repeatedly made regarding Lafayette High School.
As turned out to be the case with Lafayette, it appears King does not plan to revoke Waterfront's registration.
Sykes said district officials plan to resubmit the application for Waterfront as well as the other three schools in a second round of applications that the state Education Department has indicated it will make available sometime prior to the start of the 2013-14 school year.
She said that for the first time, state officials provided district officials with a points-based evaluation of each grant application, including specific feedback regarding what changes needed to be made to improve each application's score.

Tough new rules for the nation's pilots may be completed this year after all, as the Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday reversed its stance and sought to clear up the misinformation it gave out to the families of Continental Connection Flight 3407.
In an about-face Wednesday, the top FAA official said he is still committed to having the long-delayed regulations for pilot qualifications and training take effect this year and apologized for the agency indicating otherwise to the families of Flight 3407.
On Tuesday, – the fourth anniversary of the regional airline crash that killed 50 people in Clarence Center – the families were told by Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., that the FAA was committed to completing the new pilot regulations this year.
But a few hours later, at a meeting with FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta and other top agency officials, the families were told that the training rule will likely not be completed until June 2014.
"During that discussion, our staff provided the families with a handout containing misinformation and for that I am deeply sorry," Huerta said in a letter to Schumer Wednesday. "I would like to take this opportunity to correct the record and reaffirm our commitment to completing our work on these significant safety rulemakings."
Family members who lost loved ones on Flight 3407 have been lobbying for tougher training for pilots, and the proposed rules would, for the first time, require pilots to train in a simulator to learn how to react to unexpected stalls and upsets.
"When we met with the families, we handed out a document that erroneously indicated that the flight crew member training rule may be published in 2014. That is not the case," Huerta said in the letter.
"Let me be clear: we are doing everything in our power to move forward with the important safety initiatives outlined under the act," he continued. "Specifically, I am committed to completing our work on the pilot qualifications rule by August of this year and the flight crew member training rule by October of this year."
Schumer – who was appalled Tuesday when the FAA told the families something contrary to what the agency told him – said Huerta called him Wednesday morning to apologize and admit the agency's mistake.
Schumer said Huerta's letter is "crystal clear and doesn't have any outs."
"After these two days of a bit of a roller coaster, we're in much better shape than we were when we started," Schumer said after informing the families of the latest turn of events Wednesday. "You always have to watch the FAA, but I'm more confident now than I have ever been."
Flight 3407 family members – who went to Washington on the fourth anniversary of the crash to lobby the FAA and lawmakers for the tougher regulations – also were thrilled by Wednesday's news, particularly after the confusion from the previous day.
Still, they expressed caution.
"We're very, very pleased," said Karen Eckert, whose sister Beverly Eckert was a victim of the crash. "We have it in writing, and it's good, because we like to hold the FAA's feet to the fire."
"Nothing is absolute in Washington, but we're going to treat this like that's his word and his promise," said a leader of the families group, Kevin Kuwik, whose girlfriend, Lorin Maurer, was killed in the crash.
"And we're going to be there every step of the way over the next six to eight months, looking right over the FAA's shoulder … and looking over the White House's shoulder until this stuff gets done."

So I got a new camera.
Over a week ago I ruined mine- it wasn't anything super special but was a great camera for me (a Canon Powershot SX110is). I had hoped to upgrade to a nicer one- maybe even an SLR but we just can't afford that right now. And believe me I was trying to work the numbers.
Friday night I couldn't wait any longer. I had a gift card that could buy the same camera I just broke. That would do. I know how to use it, and it was a good camera. I was tempted SO tempted to upgrade to a Nikon D60 then and there because they had a really good deal, but I'd have to go into debt for it, even if it wasn't that much, it was what I didn't have. And Noah had holes in his shoes. Holes! So I bought my "new" old camera with the gift card and had enough left over to get him the shoes he really wanted for back to school.
I know in my heart I did the right thing.
But the story, oh story, doesn't end here...

Great special treat
By Rainebow
from Austin, Tx
This is the treat that she gets when she goes into her crate for a few hours while I'm gone. Love the healthiness of this treat and the fact that it has pumpkin.
My dog loves these treats!!!
By Clover's mom
from New York
Not only are these some of the cutest dog treats I've even seen, my lab goes bonkers for them!! I'm pretty sure I could teach her to do whatever I want as long as she's receives Wet Noses treats as a reward!! I highly recommend them, especially if your dog loves peanut butter!!
They love them!
By sunny sd

We have a new kitten, and our dog loves the kitten food. Thankfully he loves these treats even more, so we use these to lure our dog away from the cat food so the kitten can eat!

Awesome! NO Wheat!
By davidintucson
from Tucson Arizona
In todays market it's tough finding treats as well as food that are free of wheat and corn products. Now we have to be concerned about rice with concerns of arsenic as reported in Consumer Reports November 2012 issue. This product is fantastic in that regard since it's first ingredient is Rye. Bottom line, if it doesn't taste good or smell good to me ... my dogs don't eat it.
Happy Wet Noses
By Sho-nuff
from Newark, New Jersey
My boxer absolutely loves these treats. They've turned her into a bandit. She sees the box and goes bananas. SHe's come to expect them along with her dinner and they serve as an excellent training tool.
Great treat for dogs

giftsWednesday, October 01, 2008
A while ago, I posted about the pay it forward exchange. And the gifts that I received were unbelievable! The kind where it really makes your day when you receive something so wonderful, right on your doorstep.
Jeni, from magnusmog, mailed me her very own hand dyed, hand spun beautiful yarn. All the way from the other side of the world. I absolutely love it, and can't wait to create something with it. She also included a felted broach, (that Libby is fighting me for) and a little journal. Thank you Jeni! I love it all!
Then came the box from Melana, from sheepish one. Can you believe that she knit me this beautiful scarf? I am in love with it, and wore it yesterday. I can't remember how long it has been since someone knit me something! Seriously. Well, my mom used to knit for me a lot. However, once I learned how to knit, that was the end of that. It felt so good to receive something so beautiful. The time and effort are SO much appreciated Melana. Thank you!

I recently participated in a lovely little handknit washcloth and handmade soap swap (from Ravelry) and my mom, sister, and 2 friends joined in too... We should've let the moderator know of our connections, as it turned out my MOM knit for me! And I knit for a personal friend! Too funny! It saved on postage, but it would've been neat to knit for a new friend! Oh well, there will always be more swaps, right?
Fun stuff!

i'm doing a thing in my class about illegal downloading on the enternet/freinds. my class mates have said all different thing about it and i would like to know what you think of it? one of my friends said " why make the programe to download music/other and put it on the internet, the program makes you sign a contract/agrremant, so why make it illegal."of couse the teacher couldn't answer now i wont to know what other people think of illegal Downloading
There are always gonna be people illgaly downloading stuff, no matter what action is taken to stop it. In my opion though is that most of the victims (popular bands for example) make enough money as is so it's not as big a deal when its them. But yes there are others who are in need of the money. But the really, the people who are downloading aren't the true fans. The true fans would go out and buy that cd or dvd and show their actual support.
Just cause fans download their songs, doesn't mean they aren't real fans. I'm saying this because I download and buy albums from bands. If I like a song, I'll download it. If they continue to come out with hot stuff, then I'll consider buying their album.
even artist like bittorent and limewire because they say it gets them new fans,who if they had to pay would never try to listen to new artist.
Every where u look people will down loading Music ,movies and Etc.They will never stop "I will be the GOD of this New World"
I agree that downloading will never go away. The vast majority of people who download stuff are looking for something new. Maybe a friend told them about some band, download a song or two to check them out before spending some of their hard earned cash so they don't waste their money, I see no problem with it. Some of the stuff I have downloaded is stuff that is really hard to find, or prohibitively expensive to purchase. I have one band from the 70's that I love, but their cd's are almost $50 each because they are so hard to find. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
It's bad...
i wont lie, i download a LOT lol, but its usually because iTunes/rhapsody/etc. doesnt have em, like Maximum the Hormone, iTunes doesnt have em so what other way would i get it? lol if i have a bsnd i like i will almost always spend at least $10 or so on iTunes if its there. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
only record companies care. artist dont make that much off cd sales.
wierd al posts all over his website were you can download his stuff. "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
then i would have been arrested years ago "blood isnt enough..."

About 30 employees hoisted picket signs and gathered peacefully outside each of the South Shore Raley's stores on Monday as part of a regional strike that started on Sunday after contract negotiations between the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and the Sacramento-based grocery outlet failed.
The strike, the first in Raley's 77-year history, came after talks broke down between the grocery outlet and the union around 2 a.m. on Sunday, UFCW spokesman Mike Henneberry told the Associated Press.
The sides, which have been in negotiation for more than 15 months, are reportedly at odds over a proposed wage freeze, elimination of premium pay for Sunday shifts and health care benefits. After the discussions fell through, about 7,000 employees walked out of more than 120 stores in California and Nevada.
Since the grocery outlet and the union could not come to terms on a new contract for the employees, Raley's had to implement its corporate plan that freezes pay increases for two years and eliminates Sunday and holiday premium pay, Raley's spokesman John Segale said.
"Something like this is a concern for the holidays and beyond. Ultimately it's going to hurt everybody - the store, the employees and the customers," Segale said.
Segale said the impact of the strike fluctuates from store to store, but for the most part business will continue as usual and that none of the stores have closed.
In a neon pink hat and a blue sweatshirt, Strike Leader Luke Adams stood outside the Raley's near Stateline with a UFCW sign in his hand. He's worked for the company for the last 12 years on the South Shore, but he said he had no qualms when it came to joining the picket line.
"The benefits we have are going into corporate hands, and we've got to keep them. I'll be out here as long as it takes. My father and my uncles have all been union men," Adams said.
Adams, who earned $21 per hour as the store's head meat cutter, said he's willing to take a severe pay cut - the union will pay him $100 dollars for the first week of the strike - to fight for what many of the strikers said on Monday was their main concern: health care benefits for retirees.
For 25-year Raley's employee Al Foxworthy, the health care issue also sits at the center of the debate.
"I just want to keep what I have. I want to keep my medical benefits when I retire. I have been a company man all those years. I like Raley's and would love to get back to work," Foxworthy said.
According to Segale, the store needs to cut costs during harsh economic times and faces competition from nonunionized competition like Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
"We are under some fierce competition and we must reduce our costs to allow us to compete in the future," Segale told the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, both of the Raley's stores in South Lake Tahoe are still open, staffed by a mix of temporary employees, nonunionized workers and those who have crossed the picket line and continue to show up for their shifts as normal.
Debra Hoyopatubbi walked past the strikers on Monday as she entered the Raley's at the 'Y' to get her groceries. Hoyopatubbi said she's been treated very fairly during the 12 years she's worked for the grocery store near Stateline, and she will continue to work and shop at Raley's.
"Greed in our county is huge. We need to count our blessings. I really believe the contract (Raley's CEO) Michael Teel is offering is a very fair one. Each side should give a little in these hard economic times," Hoyopatubbi said.
UFCW 8-Golden State President Jacques Loveall said that the strike is in response to Raley's unfair labor practices, and he would prefer that the issue is resolved before engaging more workers from other Raley's brands.
"Before we move to phase two, we are hopeful this measured action will be effective in bringing Raley's back to the bargaining table. We have additional personnel and resources to escalate the action, if need be. Naturally we prefer to engage in constructive dialogue rather than deepening the wounds," Loveall wrote in an email.
Raley's employs about 250 people in South Lake Tahoe between the two stores. The company employs 13,000 people at 115 California stores and 13 Northern Nevada locations, according to the corporation's website.

iPhone 4 had only been on the market for a few hours when some users
started to complain that the device
had poor reception. Part of the issue is the design of the
antenna, which is integrated into the phone and visible on the metal
band sandwiched between the front and back glass of the
smartphone.Shortly after the issues caught on in the media,
the subject of class action suits started being bandied about.
The first
of the suits has been filed and is seeking class action
status in the United States Court for the District of Maryland. The
two main plaintiffs in the case are Kevin McCaffrey of Nottingham,
Maryland and Linda Wrinn of Baltimore, Maryland. The suit seeks a
jury trial.A few of the major claims in the suit are general
negligence on behalf of Apple and AT&T, defect in design,
manufacture and assembly on behalf of Apple, breach of express
warranty and implied warranty by Apple and AT&T, deceptive trade
practices by both companies and intentional misrepresentation by both
companies. A total of nine claims are made.
The suit
documents don't offer a specific amount of money being
sought in the "Prayer for Relief" section and asks the
judge to award any such relief that may be just and proper.
early complaints allege that when the iPhone 4 is held just right the
iPhone drops from four or five bars when sitting on the table to one
bar or in some cases no service at all when held in the hand and much
of the antenna is covered by the palm. The solution to the problem
according to Steve Jobs is to simply not hold the smartphone that
has continued to maintain that there are no reception issues on the
phone and that the performance
users are seeing is normal.
quote: The iPod and iTunes were *not* a good choice in the beginning. The iPod had such crappy DACs and whatnot that a $10 Chinese "disposable" .mp3 player had the same or better sound quality, and the DRM that came with iTunes was deplorable.
quote: Sure...eventually iPods caught up with the cheap stuff, and evetually iTunes gave you an option to buy normal .mp3s.
quote: But the point is that bajillions of people bought the stuff anyway. Apple doesn't sell technology so much as it sells a self-image, they sell their brand and have managed to convince the unwashed masses that to own an Apple product is to be cool and hip and the only way to express your individuality. By doing the same thing everyone else is doing.

Well made
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Small
I wear a 36-37 in shoes so I purchased a size Small and found them to be a bit big. Otherwise, they are well made and warm but sometimes make it difficult to clip in because of being a little loose.
Keeps my feet warm
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Neoprene covers does the job of keeping my feet warm. I wear SIDI 41.5 size shoes
Weak seams!
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
I had such high hopes for these booties! Out of the package, they appear great but as soon as I attempted to pull them over my shoes, the seam down the middle separated. Backcountry was great and sent out another pair but sure enough, the same thing happened again. Keep looking!
Good quality - uncomfortable zipper
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Large
I originally bought some Sugoi Aero shoe covers just to keep the wind chill off, but decided they were not durable enough. I was searching for a heavier material like soft shell and found these for a good sale price. They are good quality and overall well built.
HOWEVER - the zipper has caused sever rubbing and every time that I have used them (maybe 4) I have come out with the skin blistered and rubbed on the back of my ankle on the achilles. It is too late to return so I will hold on to them, but if I were to try a similar product, I would look at a shoe cover that does not zip along the rear of your ankle.
good price to warmth ratio
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Kept me toes warm for rides starting at 30 degrees (despite what the Garmin said), without any real added bulk. Can get about two hours in cold weather before toes get nippy. Read the complaints here about the zippers failing/breaking. I think some care in putting these on will help them last, like pinching the zipper together as you pull up. I put a couple dozen+/- rides on them over the past two NY winters without trouble. I like the sole design. Covers the whole sole underneath except for the cleat and heal pad. One thing I didn't like about the Gore Thermo (which I returned) is that it's only an elastic strap so if it isn't tight around the sole, there's a lot of space for cold air to come through. If you're on the higher side of Gores sizing and get cold feet, then I would expect the fit to be better and would gladly pay the extra $40-$50 for what I think would be a warmer cover (but can't confirm). But for the $30 sale price I paid for these, I am very happy with the purchase.
Good review. And, yes, pinch the zipper teeth together when zipping up (to prevent zipper failure). True for any booties.
Good down to the 30's
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Live in Central Florida and have worn them in the early AM hours down to 28 degrees with just wool socks and Louis Garneau winter shoe inserts. Feet were good for about an hour and 15 minutes. Don't really expect more than that. Have not worn them in the rain yet, but again, living in Florida, no cycling gear can be considered waterproof. Consider these a great addition to the winter gear. The extra large will cover size 47 Louis Garneau LS100's.

After The Citadel hosted a big conference on the civil rights movement in South Carolina in the spring of 2003, by all accounts an extremely successful event, Marcus Cox made a risky proposition.
Cox, then an assistant professor of history at the military college, approached his supervisors and told them he wanted to start an African-American Studies program. He had only been at the school for two years. He was not yet tenured. He had not proven himself. His colleagues thought he was nuts.
But service, outreach, social engagement and mentoring all are priorities for Cox, at least as important as teaching and research, maybe more so.
He secured $101,000 in grants and gifts, developed a curricula and outreach strategy and invited interesting speakers to campus, such as syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts, Rwandan humanitarian Paul Rusesabagina and the late historian John Hope Franklin.
It was part of an effort to open the Citadel's campus to the public, especially the black community, he said, to demystify the military college, to show the broader community that paths could be paved through the forests of higher learning, paths meant for them. The effort paid off: hundreds came to hear Pitts, more than 700 attended Rusesabagina's talk.
The Citadel's first African-American in the history department, and first professor to teach black history, had made his mark.
Two promotions and one published book later, Cox is associate dean of evening undergraduate studies and the Citadel Graduate College. He is, in effect, spearheading the school's growth strategy, overseeing four (for now) bachelor degree programs (in business administration, criminal justice, civil and electrical engineering), 11 college partnerships and a significant marketing effort to recruit students not interested in the corps of cadets but eager to advance their education, he said.
Currently, the evening undergraduate studies program has about 140 students. The Citadel has become only the third institution in the state, after the University of South Carolina and Clemson, to offer an engineering B.A.
Cox, 48, is glad to be an administrator, though he continues to teach one course per semester. He earned a bachelor's degree in marketing and a master's degree in history from Southern University in his hometown of Baton Rouge, La.; he secured his Ph.D. in history from Northwestern University in Chicago; then added an MBA from The Citadel. No wonder he likes administration, he said.
His specialty is 20th-century black history, and his recent book, "Segregated Soldiers," traces a little studied aspect of the black experience in the Jim Crow South: the way in which military training at black colleges offered students a path to a productive life and equal rights.
Now he's working on a second book project about high-ranking women of color in the military, he said. The idea sprung from an encounter with seven powerful women he met while teaching veterans at the Naval Station. It prompted him to wonder about how they managed to overcome obstacles.
"Women have gone through so much, so the book project is going to give them a voice," Cox said.
Role models
Growing up, Cox was immersed in the ways of southern Louisiana. French was spoken by his relatives. Gumbo was a dinnertime staple. Southern University, a historically black school, was a cultural centerpiece. So was the Catholic Church.
Years later, when Cox was studying in Chicago and homesick, his mother and then-fiancee and now-wife Rebecca would send him cassettes of Zydeco music to appease his angst.
His grandfather, Matthew W. Trahan, was his first important role model. Trahan was a career military man who spent 30 years in the Army as a quartermaster and trainer, retiring as first sergeant. After the Army, he became a high school ROTC instructor.
This exposure to the military instilled in Cox a deep appreciation for the ways in which service could improve the lives of black people.
Trahan also was a fine baker who prepared scrumptious cakes and pies that thrilled his family. And the janitorial business he started provided Cox and his two brothers, Brian and Randy, with their first jobs.
The boys picked up trash, but they were happy. The work distinguished them from their peers.
"I thought it was cool, because I was the only one with a paycheck, who had money," Cox said. "And it instilled a really strong work ethic in me."
When he died, Trahan left his grandson something very special: "The ring that I wear everyday on my right hand (that) has an Army insignia was my grandfather's ring," Cox wrote in an email. "He wanted me to have it when he died. It is my most prized possession."
His mother, Brenda, also was a role model. She earned her master's degree in social work late in life, after her three children (Cox has a younger sister, Shannon) were advancing in secondary school.
A third role model emerged when Cox attended Southern University. The school employed Henry Bellaire in its Registrar's Office, a man who exuded empathy for others and always seemed to be ready to help frustrated students navigate the new (and complicated) bureaucracy.
Bellaire would approach a lost student, put his arm around his shoulder, listen to what was the matter (lost paperwork, no housing, missing financial aid) and say, "Don't worry, I'll help you."
Five years ago, Bellaire was unloading groceries from the car parked in front of his house. As his daughter emerged to help him, a robber suddenly appeared and shot Bellaire dead, Cox recalled.
He said his exposure to Bellaire changed his outlook.
"It's not just about you getting a degree," he said. It's about deriving lasting value from the experience. It's about cultivating relationships, maintaining an open mind and keeping company with people smarter than you. It's about helping others. Learning is important but insufficient, Cox said. One must understand how that learning is accomplished.
Cox can name other role models: his grandmother Annie Mae Trahan who, along with his parents and grandfather, raised him and his siblings; Bernard Powers, a fellow historian who teaches at the College of Charleston and graduated, like Cox, from Northwestern University; Judge Arthur McFarland, who Cox met at St. Patrick Catholic Church and who stands as an example of success, dignity, wisdom and friendship; Keith Waring, another church friend and local business leader; and Thaddeus Bell, a local doctor dedicated to his community and always well-dressed.
Cox is retrospective and self-effacing when he speaks of his friends, family and colleagues. He knows that his success can be attributed in part to their support, and he's quick to point out that he's not special, not the owner of an especially precocious or exceptionally creative mind. He is only a hard worker, dedicated to others, determined to forge ahead.
"So many people helped me get to this particular point," he said. "To be honest with you, I probably shouldn't be here."
Good friends
Powers met Cox shortly after the younger historian joined The Citadel in 2001. Because of a joint degree program between the two men's schools, they have found themselves serving together on various thesis committees. They are also both deeply engaged in activities outside of their respective schools.
When Powers spoke about blacks and the Civil War at an event some years ago at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, Cox came with his two young daughters, Callia and Leigha. It was the sort of discussion Cox thought his daughters should hear, Powers remembered.
"He thought this would be a good experience for them," Powers said. "He thought it would be an important enough subject."
It was a telling moment, evidence of Cox's dedication to his family.
"He has gone to great lengths to make sure his girls have gotten the best education possible," Powers added.
Callia, now a 13-year-old student at James Island Charter High School, has been hitting golf balls lately, and Cox has encouraged this pursuit. But recently, he called her school coach to explain that time-consuming after-school golf outings probably wouldn't work as they were sure to interfere with Callia's homework.
Powers watches his friend and marvels at his drive: the way he's embraced all these personal, school and community activities.
"He's motivated by a sense of altruism and deep commitment," Powers said.
Waring's view of his friend is similar.
"He's a great family man. He puts his wife and his daughters in high esteem, and that's just good to see today. You can tell when kids are happy and loved."
At The Citadel, Cox strives to find interesting people who can engage not only those on campus but people in the wider community, Waring added.
"When he gets involved in something it's not in a passive way. He certainly brings passion to it."
Thanks in large part to Cox's efforts, The Citadel organizes an outreach luncheon for students of Military Magnet Academy. He is a board member of the Coastal Community Foundation and a benefactor of Charleston Development Academy Public Charter School. He has sat on numerous event panels and offered many talks at local public schools.
His driving philosophy is simple, biblical, magnanimous, he said. It derives from Genesis 12:2. "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing."
That's why he likes hanging out with his mentors and close friends; that's why he prizes his ring; that's why he remembers so fondly Henry Bellaire, the man who embraced lost students.
"I'm expected to help other people," Cox said.

A judge has delayed trial until November 2014 for a man accused of using a machete to kill two people in Fort Smith.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for 20-year-old Gregory Aaron Kinsey. He's accused in the June 26 attack that killed 39-year-old Brandon Prince and 32-year-old Nathan Young.
Both victims were from Fort Smith.
The Southwest Times Record reports (http://is.gd/GIGx8S) trial was to have begun in February. Defense lawyers asked for the delay, saying they have about 250 people to interview and thousands of documents to review.
Jury selection is to start Nov. 13 and trial is to begin Nov. 17.
Kinsey faces two counts of capital murder.

The Barbour County Board of Education will consider an alternative date and time for graduation this year after learning of possible conflicts with community activities.
The Blue and Gray Reunion is an historical Memorial Day weekend celebration in observance of the anniversary of the first land battle of the Civil War. Graduation ceremonies at Philip Barbour High School could conflict with scheduled activities of the historical event this year.
Superintendent Dr. Joseph Super said at Monday's meeting that the school board recently received a letter from the high school with a proposed graduation date that conflicts with the historical event.

The Barbour County Board of Education and Philippi Elementary School celebrates 11 students who achieved distinguished scores on the WESTEST for the last school year. Five of the students attended Monday's school board meeting for recognition. Superintendent Dr. Joseph Super and school principal Connie Mundy stand behind student achievers Samantha Helmick, Brandon Mitchell, Braylynn Travis, Abigail Snider and Abagayle Auvil. All the students achieved distinguished scores in at least one subject.
He mentioned that graduation could potentially cut into the revenues or activities of the Blue and Gray Reunion if the ceremony overlaps Saturday activities that weekend. He said that in the past, graduation has been scheduled in the evening.
BOE president Robert Wilkins said that graduation overlapped with the Blue and Gray Reunion at least once in the past, and there was concern at the time that some families and organizations had to split their time or choose between the two activities that day.
"The school was put in an awkward situation, especially with the band as far as being needed in other places," Wilkins said. "The band was also concerned at that time, because it looked like the school was not supporting the community."
Jeff Kittle, a Title I director, said that graduation is required to be no earlier than five days following the last day of school for county students.
The graduation concern will be addressed at the next regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Board of Education office. An action may be considered at that time.
In other business, two Philippi schools' Local School Improvement Council reports were heard by the school board. One of the schools, Philippi Elementary School, made Annual Yearly Percentage last year, but the other, Philippi Middle School, did not meet AYP. Both schools, regardless of AYP, had students with distinguished scores on the WESTEST. Officials from both schools said they are hopeful to meet AYP standards this year.
Philippi Elementary School recognized 11 students with distinguished scores in various categories of WESTEST: Brandon Mitchell in math, Samantha Helmick in math, Braylynn Travis in math and reading, Abigail Snider in reading, Abagayle Auvil in reading, Graci Schoonover in math, Taylor Pingley in reading, Bryanne Tustin in reading, Tanner Corder in math, Brielle Graham in math and Trevor Stevens in math, reading and social studies.
Nine students from Philippi Middle School were recognized for their distinguished test scores: Sierra Rexrode for reading and world geography, Heather Wright for reading, Shelby Bennett in science, Jordan Bowers in math and reading, Alexandra Cross for reading, Julianna Findley for reading and West Virginia studies, Vanessa Kelley for reading, Elizabeth Morgan for reading and Nathan Sandruck for math, reading and science.

OLEAN — Saint Louis descended upon the Reilly Center on Saturday as the Atlantic 10 leader in scoring defense but who really knew what to make of it? The Billikens throttled a bunch of marginal non-conference foes earlier in the season. Within the conference their numbers hadn't been especially impressive, as evidenced by a high-scoring home court loss to Rhode Island, the A-10's most challenged offensive unit.
On this day, however, the Billikens looked a lot like the team that stymied nationally ranked New Mexico back on Dec. 31. They paralyzed Bona on the perimeter and hounded their way to 14 steals. They built a 15-point halftime lead and withstood the second-half mayhem amidst an Alumni Weekend crowd of 4,839. And they scooted out of town with a 67-57 victory that helped justify their status as the No. 2 pick in the preseason conference rankings.
The Bonnies (9-10, 2-4) were starved for looks from behind the arc and managed maybe two of their 16 attempts with the rhythm of the offense. They turned the ball over on 19 occasions, oft times when driven to uncertainty by a harassing defense that wouldn't budge. The offensive fluidity that characterized unforeseen wins at Temple and Saint Joseph's vanished. Bona shot 21 of 38 from three-point range in those games and returned home to go 2 of 16.
"Our defense dictated the tempo of the game for us," said Saint Louis coach Jim Crews. "Right from the get-go it was excellent. Our guys ran guys off the shot spots pretty good throughout the game and we were able to create some offense off our defense early and particularly late."
Billiken guards Jordair Jett and Mike McCall in particular denied Bona its comfort zone. Matthew Wright attempted (and missed) one shot from three after going 8 for 10 on the road trip. Eric Mosley (45 percent from three) couldn't shake free and shot 0 for 3. They combined to play only 34 minutes (21 by Wright, who had an injured foot) as Bona sought other ways to wage combat.
"I think it was more us not executing," said Bona guard Charlon Kloof. "I think the coaching staff tried to prepare us for their pressure, how they were going to defend us and we didn't go out and execute. If somebody overplayed us we gave up, took a step back. The execution part was not there today."
Bona's no different than anyone else in the 16-team Atlantic 10, one of the more competitive conferences in the country. Charlotte entered the day with a share of the lead and got smoked by 28 at George Washington. La Salle, pegged as a mid-range team before the season, knocked off Butler last week. Preseason pick Saint Joseph's entered Saturday tied for 12th at 1-3. With that kind of parity teams can ill afford the kind of first half Bona had against the Billikens, shooting 7 of 22 and falling behind by 15.
"It's not even one bad half it's maybe 12 minutes," said Bona coach Mark Schmidt. "It's a great league. You got teams in this league trying to win the national title. They're not trying to win the Atlantic 10, they're trying to win the national title. We understand that. And in order for us to be successful we got to play our 'A' game."
From the outset Saint Louis (14-5, 3-2) confused and bewildered the Bonnies with its overplays on the defensive end. The Billikens rarely yielded an uncontested look from behind the arc and it showed in Bona's 0-for-7 first-half shooting from long range. Without the trey at its disposal, the Bonnies had to create at the offensive end and didn't fare well in that regard. Saint Louis produced eight steals, scored 11 points off turnovers and sailed away to a 38-23 halftime advantage.
Given its offensive struggles, the onus was on Bona to spark an attack through its defense. That didn't materialize either, at least not after the opening minutes. The Billikens went 15 of 32 from the field in the first half, including 4 of 8 from three, and picked up four offensive rebounds while limiting Bona to a mere one.
The Bonnies found success in the low post and through dribble-penetration for parts of the second half but by then the margin for error had dwindled to almost nothing. Turnovers did them in after they had the deficit down to six with 14:05 left and seven with 3:36 to go.
Demitrius Conger topped Bona with 15 points and nine rebounds but also had five turnovers. Kloof and Chris Johnson added 11 points apiece. Saint Louis got a game-high 18 points and eight boards out of forward Dwayne Evans.

The prevalence and acceptance of business relationships between lawmakers and special interests in South Carolina might warrant federal intervention, government watchdogs said last week.
The suggestion followed revelations from a report in The Post and Courier and from Gov. Nikki Haleys attorneys saying such arrangements are more commonplace than the public thinks.
Thats the political culture and that is a very hard thing to change, said Ed Bender, executive director of the National Institute of Money in State Politics. The national, nonpartisan and nonprofit group tracks, among other things, the influence of campaign donations and lobbying on politics.
If this is a pattern showing up in South Carolina time and again, it might be time for higher authorities to step in, Bender said.
When Haley drew renewed criticism last month over allegations she illegally lobbied while serving as a Lexington County House member, her attorney went on the offensive, countering that everyone in the Legislature is doing it. Attorney Butch Bowers said he would release a list of legislators who have received income from organizations that lobby in the Statehouse.
The pervasiveness of special-interest influence does not reflect well on the Palmetto State, said J. Michael Bitzer, who has followed South Carolina politics for two decades and now teaches political science at Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C.
When it gets to the point of saying, Well, everyone is doing it, that means there is a cultural aspect that is very detrimental to the political system as a whole, Bitzer said. When trust in government is at a historic low, do you want to be feeding into the idea that youre all out for yourselves?
He referenced Operation Lost Trust, the 1990 votes-for-sale sting in the S.C. Statehouse. Known as the biggest legislative public corruption prosecution in U.S. history, the FBI operation resulted in the convictions or guilty pleas of more than two dozen lawmakers, lobbyists and others.
When one party is in power for too long, you get this sense of entitlement, he said. They dont learn the lessons of the past.
The ongoing ethics complaint against Haley involves her conduct while being paid as a fundraiser and consultant for Lexington Medical Center and Wilbur Smith engineering firm of Columbia, respectively. The two organizations paid Haley hundreds of thousands of dollars combined before she became governor in 2010, according to the complaint.
At issue is whether Haley lobbied a state agency on behalf of Lexington Medical Center, whether she failed to properly disclose her pay and whether she failed to abstain from votes that would benefit the firm.
Haleys attorneys have denied any wrongdoing.
Separately, The Post and Courier reported Sunday that S.C. Rep. Jim Merrill, a Daniel Island Republican, has taken nearly $160,000 since 2008 from a political action committee run by the S.C. Association of Realtors. At the same time, he sponsored and championed legislation the Realtors wanted.
House Ethics Committee staff has said Merrill is abiding by the rules.
People may not like it, but thats the way it is, Merrill, a former House majority leader, said in a recent interview. If they wanna change the rules, have at it.
Questions about conflicts will arise as long as the Legislature is part time, said John Crangle, the executive director of government watchdog Common Cause South Carolina.
People have other jobs because you cant live off the legislative salary, Crangle said. The annual legislative pay and stipend is $22,400.
Crangles solution involves increasing the pay of the Senate while abolishing the House of Representatives, although he acknowledges such a plan is unlikely to gain traction.
Still, the issue of lawmakers being paid by organizations that lobby in the Statehouse is a huge thing bigger than anyone had any idea about, said Laurel Suggs, vice president of the League of Women Voters of South Carolina.
There is so much more to be uncovered, said Suggs, who served on a campaign ethics task force under former Gov. Jim Hodges.
Barbara Zia, president of the league, agreed.
South Carolina has weak ethics laws, and we need them strengthened, Zia said. Its going to take public pressure to make these changes.

Still, as her excitement demonstrated, being recognized for stage work was an entirely new sensation for the New York-born screen actress. "Being welcomed into this community has been a dream come true for me," Johansson, 25, said on the great stage of Radio City Music Hall, where the 64th annual Tony Awards, honoring Broadway's best, were broadcast live on CBS. "Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be on Broadway, and here I am."
She also expressed her gratitude to "the Canadian I live with," husband Ryan Reynolds. "Thank you for being a theater widower for me," she said as he applauded from the audience of the 6,000-seat hall.
A Bow to Broadway's PastKeeping alive the spirit of America's theatrical past, the Tonys showered awards, including those for best revivals, on the new productions of August Wilson's 1987 Tony-winning best drama Fences – now starring this year's Tony-winning best actor Denzel Washington and best actress Viola Davis – and the intimate, revisionist production of 1983's best musical Tony winner La Cage aux Folles. The new La Cage also took Tonys for its outstanding leading man Douglas Hodge and director Terry Johnson.
"I'm amazed," said Washington, 55. "I'm really surprised … and blessed."
In her Broadway debut, Catherine Zeta-Jones, 40, an Oscar winner for the movie Chicago, was named best actress in the musical revival of Stephen Sondheim's 1973 A Little Night Music. "I really do feel like Cinderella," she said, thanking her parents and her husband, Michael Douglas – whom she called "a movie star, and I get to sleep with him every night."
The three-hour ceremony's first-time host, Will & Grace Emmy winner Sean Hayes, now starring in a revival of the 1968 best musical Promises, Promises, opened the show on the piano, before being joined by the casts of the season's musicals. Capping the showstopper was the band Green Day, playing from the show based on their songs, American Idiot.
"Welcome to the Tony Awards," Hayes announced, "the World Cup of show tunes."
All-Star Couple PowerAdding sparkle to the ceremony, in their roles as presenters, were Katie Holmes and Daniel Radcliffe – as well as a bevy of celebrity couples sitting in the front rows of Radio City. Besides Johansson and Reynolds, there were Michael Douglas and A Little Night Music winner Zeta-Jones; Beyoncé and her Fela! producer-husband, Jay-Z; fellow Fela! producers Will and Jada Pinkett Smith; A View from the Bridge nominee Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts; and presenter Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith.
Both La Cage, with 11, and Fences, with 10 nominations, went into the evening leading the race, as did the musical Fela!, about Nigerian Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, also with 11. The Tony for best musical, however, went to Memphis, a 1950s story loosely based on Memphis disc jockey Dewey Phillips, who was one of the first white radio personalities to play black music. It also won for its book, original score and orchestrations.
John Logan's Red, about artist Mark Rothko's effort to deal with a commercial commission in the late 1950s, was named best play. In all, it won six Tonys, including those for featured actor Eddie Redmayne and director Michael Grandage.

5 Reasons Cinco de Mayo Is the Most American Holiday
Hooray for Cinco de Mayo, the day America celebrates Mexico's victory over France! The battle in 1862 was especially important because it did not change the tide of war in Mexico's favor one damn bit.
Even though El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla is only celebrated regionally in Mexico, it's a big party in the United States. Sure, we import a lot of holidays here to the U.S., but why do Americans celebrate a holiday that most of Mexico ignores? And the answer -- just like it is to marital problems -- is heavy drinking.
And if that doesn't work, have the sun grow a mustache.
You no doubt gathered from my Irish name that I am of Mexican descent, except not at all. But where heritage has failed me, eating a mountain of Mexican food each week qualifies me as an expert. I've devoured a lot of cuisines, and none surpasses Mexican, so it's plainly the superior culture. That's why my taco-tumescent tummy and I would like to educate you about May 5, the best drinking holiday of the year! And maybe, just maybe, the most American holiday of them all. Sprinkled along the way are fun tips to help you celebrate the day to the utmost.
#5. We've Been Celebrating It from the Start
Janie Airey/Lifesize/Getty Images
May 5 celebrations in Mexico are mostly kept to the Puebla region where the battle occurred. But in the United States, it's a different holiday entirely. The modern celebration has become very popular among 10 people in Mexico and Americans who do whatever advertisers tell them ...
... except, of course, for all those chunks of the U.S. cheering almost as soon as the battle was won. Don't forget, the Mexican population of the United States didn't vanish once their land was annexed/conquered /purchased/Polked/Pierced. You know what happens when you cut a population off from its cultural homeland? They get extra patriotic.
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
I apologize for emailing you all those dead Englishman jokes every day, Luke McKinney.
In fact, it was Mexicans living in what had only recently become America who created the holiday, and they kept on partying while Mexico let the fields of celebration lie fallow. And when Chicano activists began asserting their pride in the '60s as Americans of Mexican heritage, the 5th of May celebrated both sides, as well as the sizzling dynamic in between. Will these two nations ever get together? Find out on the season finale of ... Pasion sin Fronteras.
Charles Norfleet/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Damn, Mexican America, I look into your eyes and want to make sweet patriotism to you.
#4. It May Have Saved the Union
A lot of Americans hate the French for that time they, uh ... um ... well, I don't know what they did, but the point is FREEDOM.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Let this statue ever stand to condemn you for extending friendship in our hour of need.
Remember back in 2003 when we were going to curb stomp Iraq and asked France to ride along even though we didn't need them? We were all "Be a bro!" And France was like "Euh ... non, merci." Man, that was cold. It's not like we ever left them twisting in the wind.
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
I mean ... not forever.
Napoleon, though -- man, even France hates them some Napoleon. And this wasn't the rabid Napoleon you had to respect; this was Napoleon III.
Wasn't Adolphe Yvon the fifth member of Marilyn Manson?
Essentially the Highlander: The Final Dimension of French emperors.
You have to remember that 1800s France was a danger to itself and others. Having anointed the last century in the blood of its own people, it baptized the 19th in the tears of everyone else. French cannons punched fiery holes in all parts of the globe, and what was done to those holes cannot be described in polite conversation, nor on Cracked.
Mexico at this point had been through so much war that it looked like Officer Murphy five minutes before he became RoboCop. Of course, in RoboCop, OCP spent millions salvaging Murphy, which is way more money than Mexico had, so they ended up handing out IOUs to their creditors. Spain and England, after some grumbling, agreed, because money is good money. France, on the other hand, assumed an attitude toward Mexico not unlike the attitude Red from That '70s Show held toward every other character in RoboCop.
Meanwhile, America was in the middle of this tussle called the Civil War, which, guys, was not civil at all. So the Western Hemisphere's sophomore term was blazing with hazing. Not helping at all was the fact that Napoleon III's France was supplying the Confederate army, since neither he nor President Lincoln wanted to directly combat one another. (But if they did, Lincoln would win, obviously.)
After the Battle of Puebla, it took France a full year to stop wiping its bloody nose, during which time the Confederates lost much French backing. That meant Original Recipe America could focus its efforts on a single gray-clad foe who was whistling Dixie and states-righting itself deeper into a hole.

#3. We Love an Underdog
It's pretty impressive when a few thousand underequipped dudes, outnumbered 2-to-1 (or worse), repel the second biggest empire on Earth. It stands as the moment when the picked-on kid, weary from all the beatings at school and cutting at home, gathers his fury and demolishes a stunned bully. It was such a scene of fantastic, righteous fury at the incursion that made A Christmas Story every kid's favorite.
This, then, was Mexico's "Ralphie" moment.
Everyone loves that righteous victory, but in America it's woven into our self-image. This is where the poor come for a chance at a better life, and the rich stay to dangle it in front of them. Our narrative promotes three values: doing things for yourself, overcoming daunting odds, and sticking it to the man. And since a new part of our narrative is saying "the hell with that" and hiring Mexican immigrants to do the hard work, their history is bound to our mythos. And if you're Mexican-American, you get to lay claim to both! You lucky fellow.
When Mexico did yield to French forces, Napoleon installed Maximilian I as emperor of Mexico in what looked like history's most expensive practical joke.
François Aubert
Mexico bet France they could turn him into a winner before prom.
As soon as we had the Civil War stitched up, America said, "Hey, nobody occupies Mexico but us!" Sure, we had robbed that nation blind a couple wars earlier, but now we respected its ability to take a punch. To thank Mexico for taking the heat off us, and also to remind Napoleon that he was a dick, we backed Mexico's play for autonomy.
Thanks to the tag-team effort, Maximilian's empire failed to gain an audience, but its three-year run was critically acclaimed as "hilarious" and "a fun return to the classic tyranny of post-antiquity Rome." Upon cancellation, its star was shot dead by two generals who tearfully saluted him in what historians agree was an over-the-top, melodramatic finale to what had so far been a dark comedy.

A merging of the words Guild and Building.
In this RPG game that I play it is the guild building but we all refer to it as the Guilding instead. It is less cumbersome to refer to the Guild Building as a Guilding when we refer to when we send messages to one another.

A Phoenix judge has spared the pit bull that mauled a child. Thousands rallied for the dog on Facebook. Would so many rally for a child?
The judge ordered the dog to be neutered, de-fanged and de-clawed.
Did the Judge order that the dog be sent to obedience school?
What did the Judge do to negligent pet owner?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Grant, that poll question was designed to point out the number of "ignorant people" who rallied for the dog, showed no compassion for the child and gave the owners of that dog a pass for their negligence when it came to their alleged pet.
This isn't rocket science Grant. It is common sense.
NOBODY rallied for the mauled child. NOBODY, it was all about the dog that went viral. Salem news stated FACTS.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Many more rally for children, literally hundreds of thousands more and there are tens of thousands of "support my child with cancer" pages, etc. And as Poollady mentioned, they spared the dogs life but they took measures to make sure it doesn't happen again--it's sort of a misleading poll question. This is really the best we can do in the online section that typically generates the most action on this page? I think we should rally for a new poll question writer at the Salem News.

There won't be a "next time", at least for this dog. The judge ordered the dog to be neutered, de-fanged and de-clawed

The next time this dog mauls a person and results in a death, I hope the owners and the judge are tried for murder. I have no idea why this posted twice, one blank. Sorry about that.
