The roar of silence, the absence of a single word, this is what earned Jennifer Fusco the honor of being named Dorchester District Two Teacher of the Year.
All her life Fusco has known silence and how to communicate without speaking. Her twin sister is deaf.
In the classroom her non-verbal communication is much louder than anything she says.
Her displeasure with behavior might be communicated with a slight lifting of an eyebrow, a tilt of her head, a toss of her hair. Her approval and praise of a student might be through a wink or a barely noticeable nod. But her students understand perfectly.
According to her principal, René Harris, for her sister, Fusco has been the "gateway to a world beyond their home. Fusco knows about teaching, she has done so all her life."
"She talks with her hands. Her hands are as important to her instruction as a surgeon's to his profession."
Sometimes she speaks to her students in sign language. She always speaks to them from her heart, wrote Harris in her nomination of Fusco as Teacher of the Year.
Fusco teaches Gifted and Talented students as well as English and Language Arts at Beech Hill Elementary School where she has taught for five years.
A product of the district, Fusco graduated from Fort Dorchester High School then went to the College of Charleston where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.
She, her students and her husband are active in the community and beyond.
Fusco's philosophy is that when a child knows they are valued, it motivates them to succeed. Her students control their own learning taking responsibility for asking questions, push each other's thinking and are becoming critical thinkers by taking an active role in their lives through problem solving which empowers them.
Fusco's classroom, writes Harris, is "an extraordinary place where the hands, expressions and heart of an astonishing teacher change lives without uttering a single word."

Clarkson, 31, recently visited coffee farms and performed a special set for farmers and their families in Peru.
"It was so funny cause I didn't know if they were gonna like my songs. They would sing along, I think we did like a mini-set for them, so we did a few songs down there. They were dancing, it was just so cool! I felt like I was just in a movie," Clarkson tells PEOPLE of the performance. "I was dancing with them!"
Her trip, part of Green Mountain Coffee's Great Coffee, Good Vibes, Choose Fair Trade campaign, was an eye-opening experience for Clarkson.
"I didn't know that a lot of them didn't have electricity," she says. "That's the one cool thing that was for me to learn with this opportunity, [through Fair Trade] they have more opportunity with their whole community. They have more education and more access to electricity. It's a better way to further the community. I felt like I was actually making a difference, which is something I think we all want to be a part of."
While the acoustic performance brought Clarkson's audience to their feet, the singer says she couldn't quite keep up with their moves.
"I couldn't do their steps," Clarkson confesses. "I was totally not Beyoncé. They all had these cute dances they were doing together… I just started doing the sprinkler and the running man."
But when it comes to dancing on her big day – her upcoming nuptials to fiancé Brandon Blackstock – the singer has the perfect song all picked out.
"We're bringing our own vinyl player and we're doing it that way. Eva Cassidy is like my favorite, and her song 'Songbird' so we're probably gonna slow dance alone to it," she says.
Though she says the couple is "already basically married," she's ready to start the next stage of her life with Blackstock by her side.
"We live together. We have a house together. We have the two kids who live with us. We're already kind of a family. But I think that it just kind of puts it in place. When you get married, it's like official. You're starting a family and we want to have more children, so we're just excited. I guess that's the best part, it's a new kind of chapter in my life."
In celebration of Fair Trade Month (October), Clarkson will perform a private concert at the High Line Ballroom in New York on Oct. 10. Viewers can tune in to watch a livestream on Green Mountain Coffee's Facebook page at 8:30 p.m. EST.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - If nothing else, Shepherd's Chad Moore certainly looks the part of Division I basketball player.
Article Photos
Shepherd's Chad Moore goes up for a shot in the first half of the Rams' game with Concord Saturday at the Butcher Athletic Center in Shepherdstown. Looking on are Concord's Cam Shannon and Gentry Shrewbury. Concord won the game 78-77. (Journal photo by Eric Jones)
The size (at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds), the athleticism, the sheer ability.
He knows all about Division I athletic ability, dating to his time at John Handley High School in Winchester.
It wasn't from his own recruitment, though, but that of teammate J.J. Hardy, and it wasn't basketball, but football.
"J.J. was the one guy that got a Division I offer, and he went to West Virginia (before later leaving the program)," Moore said. "He was a great player back in our high school days, a Division I athlete."
Moore was as well.
He was a two-time all-state player. He was a district player of the year. Moore averaged 20 points, 11 rebounds. five assists and three steals at Handley.
Yet he didn't get a sniff from a Division I program.
Perhaps he was seen as a 'tweener - too small to patrol the Division I lanes and not really built to be a guard.
Perhaps he was simply overlooked.
"Never received one (Division I) offer," Moore said with a smile and a shrug after Shepherd's 78-77 loss to Concord Saturday at the Butcher Center.
Shepherd coach Justin Namolik saw enough and quicklymade an offer to Moore, who would become the centerpiece of his first recruiting class.
He has certainly put his stamp on the school and that of the West Virginia Conference. He averaged 14.1 points and 8.9 rebounds as a freshman, 17.4 and 9.4 as a sophomore and last year, averaged a double-double with 20.8 and 10.0.
For his career he stands with 1,929 points and 997 rebounds. Yes, 71 points and three rebounds from being Shepherd's third 2,000-1,000 man (with Dave Russell, 1972-75 and Mark Palmer 1981-84).
Which is all well and good, Moore said, but that's not what is driving him as his Rams playing career winds down.
"We have five other seniors and we all came here together and we started under coach (Namolik)," Moore said. "For me, to finish this off with a conference championship would be the most rewarding thing that can happen. I do have confidence in my play on the court, but you will never hear me say I am the best. I try to remain humble."
He has a simple thought as to how he wants to be remembered.
"I always try to be a leader and bring energy to the team," Moore said. "My dad is a big (Michael) Jordan fan, and I am a big Kobe (Bryant) fan. When you watch those guys play, they have talent, but they are also the hardest working guys on the floor. I try to make sure I play with a lot of energy. If you see my jersey after games, that shows that I gave everything I had."
People around the conference have and continue to see with regularity.
"I told him after the game that I've been in this league for 11 years, and he may be as talented as anyone I've seen," Concord coach Kent McBride said. "The thing that makes him special is that as talented as he is, he is also working harder than anyone out on the court. That's not something you always get with guys who have the talent that Chad has. It's a special quality."
His importance can't be disputed within the Shepherd program. Saturday's game was proof.
When he picked up his second foul early in the first half of the Concord game, it cost him 15:29 of playing time.
"I don't think I ever had to sit that long," Moore said. "It was tough. I had to be a team guy. Bring energy from the bench."
In other words, be a leader.
He wasted little time making up for lost time when he got back in the game.
He twice tied the game early in the second, once with a putback and another with a 3-pointer from straight away.
On one memorable trip down court he came up with the ball free under the basket. His emphatic slam dunk shook the backboard with such ferocity that it looked like the backboard was a tree blowing in a hurricane.
Later he started a 15-0 run by grabbing his own putback miss and fighting through the wave of arms for a basket.
He ended the run with a pair of free throws. In between, he had two baskets as Shepherd went from seven down to eight up.
He had 18 of his 20 points during the second half. He was 8 of 11 from the field and had five rebounds.
"The only way to stop Chad Moore is to put him on the bench," McBride said. "I don't think there is much doubt that he is the player of the year."
For Moore, it's a compliment he appreciates.
"It's always nice when your hard work is noticed by opponents," he said. "I appreciate it. (Being conference player of the year) is nice, something I can look back on later if I?win it, I guess. I can't think about it right now, though. We want to accomplish something big here and go out winners."

The Old Republic & Obama's America
January 27, 2013
"Second Term Begins With a Sweeping Agenda for Equality," ran the eight-column banner in which The Washington Post captured the essence of Obama's second inaugural....
fly - Why don't you try to present a case to support your implied claim that "redistribution" is an equal goal of both right and left. It's major programs and the underlying enabling legislation of a progressive income tax are all traced back to "leftists". Call them "progressives", liberals, socialists or whatever, they all adhere in varying degrees to the prinnciple of Marxism. Who was behind that progressive income tax system in America ? Where did the idea come from ?
In Part II of the Communist Manifesto, titled Proletarians and Communists, Marx lists 10 steps that will, in his words "be pretty generally applicable" to meeting the goals he lays out beforehand within the chapter. Number two is "A heavy progressive or graduated income tax."
You seem to want to ignore the history of all this. Excuse Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Carter and now Obama and just jump on a pittance like the child tax credit to say it all equals out. Baloney !

So where's all these examples of what this dufus is suggesting with this "redistribution" nonsense.
How about we redistribute $1000 to everyone with a child with a tax credit? How about a deduction for owing money on a house? If one does not have a child or buy a house, they are paying more taxes and having that redistributed through the tax code. There's other examples of the redistribution given through the tax code. Been like this for a long time and now all of a sudden it's not supposed to be this way? Gee, you should have thought about that when you gave tax credits to a select group and asked others to pay more than them. See, just about anyone can be painted as a "socialist", even those phoney "less govt" folks calling for armed guards at schools when they fail to say how and who should pay for them.

During a chilling emergency call from a Longmont-area home, a woman begs for her life, crying "No, no, please, no, no!" before her killer fires several shots and takes the phone.
The man police believe to be her killer, 31-year-old Daniel Sanchez, talked with a Weld County dispatcher from a home near Longmont early Tuesday morning, saying he "just shot everybody right now," before he apparently turned the gun on himself. Authorities found four people dead inside the home, located in the Longview Estates subdivision, just east of Longmont.
Sanchez told the dispatcher he shot his ex-girlfriend, Beatriz Cintora-Silva, her sister, Maria Cintora-Silva and Maria's husband, Max Aguirre Ojeda. He said he shot Beatriz "'cause she was cheating on me."
Sanchez immediately told the dispatcher he was going to shoot himself, but the dispatcher talked with him for about two minutes, asking him what had happened, whom he had shot and other details before he stopped responding.
"Just stay with me, OK?" the dispatcher told Sanchez. "Don't shoot yourself."
Weld County Sheriff's deputies responded to 11464 Hot Spring in the manufactured home community just off of Weld County Road 3½ and Colo. 119. Tim Schwartz, spokesman for the sheriff's office, said there were no apparent surviving witnesses when deputies arrived.
The Associated Press reports that investigators found a .45-caliber Glock handgun with 16 spent shell casings in the home, and Sanchez had two, 13-round magazines for the gun.
Schwartz said Sanchez's ex-girlfriend, Beatriz, 25, was living with her sister Maria, 22, and brother-in-law Max, 32, at the home in the Longview Estates subdivision. Schwartz said investigators believe Sanchez and Beatriz split on Thanksgiving. The Associated Press reports that Sanchez was living in the same neighborhood as the victims.
In the 911 call, Sanchez says he is free on bond, facing kidnapping charges. According to the Denver Post, a police report shows that Sanchez had been arrested Sunday, accused of threatening Beatriz and her new boyfriend and refusing to let her out of his pickup when the two met on Saturday. The newspaper reports that Sanchez was released on bond just hours before the shooting took place at around 4 a.m.
George Vibbert, 76, who has lived in the subdivision for more than nine years, said he and his wife heard loud pops just after 4 a.m., and they later learned those were gunshots coming from just a few houses away. Vibbert said a young couple, newly married, had moved into the home where the shooting took place about three months ago. He said the young man had introduced himself and had borrowed a leaf blower.
"He seemed like a very nice guy," Vibbert said.
Vibbert said his community is normally quiet, the type of place where "everyone knows you." He said news of the shooting was shocking, especially on the heels of the devastating shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"Something has to be done about these guns," Vibbert said.

Police tie up loose ends in shooting
September 10, 2013
SALEM — Salem police detectives were trying to tie up loose ends Monday in the wake of a murder-suicide early Sunday which left a Salem Walmart employee dead and her co-workers heartbroken over her......
Sniper--I assume you mean well, but blaming the victim is old-fashioned thinking and as we try to fight these kinds of things from happening again, its ineffective. The burden to avoid these crimes does not fall on "girls"--or, more respectfully, women; it falls on all of us who need to act when we see something that doesn't seem right.

As always Salem and Perry are great police forces and were lucky to have them. For the nay Sayers look at crime in other towns. No one can stop a fight between lovers when one snaps. And for those people remember neither was from Salem. And we cant stop criminals from other city's driving through. Good work all! She made a bad choice in men. God Bless here. And girls be more choosy who you pair up with. If their crazy they may be crazy enough for this,Stay safe.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of ExOne (NASDAQ: XONE ) jumped as much as 12% today after an analyst gave the stock a positive review.
So what: FBR Capital Markets released a research note stating that high-profile auto companies are working with the materialization systems company and could help boost demand in the future. According to the report, ExOne expects mass production of parts like air-cooling systems within two or three years, although it wouldn't take place at ExOne-owned facilities.
Now what: Keep in mind that pops and drops driven by analyst upgrades often fizzle out over time, so today's report isn't a great buying opportunity in and of itself. Investors also need to remember that ExOne had just $9.2 million in revenue last quarter, although that could grow quickly if the company partners with big auto companies.
I'd rather wait to see how much progress was made in the third quarter and what management has to say about the future. This is already a high-priced stock and at the end of the day financial performance will drive the stock, not analyst upgrades or downgrades.
3-D Printing Has a Bright Future
Just because I'm not buying ExOne on an analyst note doesn't mean the opportunity isn't huge for the company. In fact, everyone from BMW, to Nike, to the U.S. Air Force is already using 3-D printing technology every day.

The 5 Most Intense Rites of Passage from Around the World
The process of becoming a grown-up is confused and muddled these days. Sure, we have small milestones that mark our progress toward adulthood, like driver's licenses, drinking, voting, clumsy sex, adult sentencing, and legal drinking. But none of those accomplishments gets us all the way there; we still have 20- and 30-somethings who live with their parents, working dead-end jobs, avoiding marriage. We're becoming adults at a slower pace than ever, with no clear point at which we can definitively say we've made it.
Throughout history, different cultures have handled this transition into adulthood in a much simpler fashion. After reaching a certain age, typically after certain parts of the body drop, the elders would round up all the adolescents and, over the course of an afternoon, turn them into adults. They would do this with rites of passage -- tests used to demonstrate the adolescents' toughness and courage.
It'd be like if you had to pass your driving test with a whole bunch of snakes in your lap.
And although toughness and courage aren't perhaps as useful as they once were, there is something impressive about a teen composed entirely of elbows standing up, facing his fears, conquering them, and emerging on the other side a man.
"Today I am a man!"
So, in the interest of celebrating any process that results in less-elbowy teenagers, below we present a list of some of the bravest rites of passage from around the world, which we encourage you to admire from the safety of your computer chair, not thinking too much about the irony.
#5. Hunting Lions
Lions are called the kings of the jungle for a reason. They're about 500 pounds of teeth and claws, can run 50 miles per hour (in bursts), and hate everything that isn't in their bellies. They're the perfect example of an apex predator, and until about 40 years ago, humans existed on this planet only because the lions let us.
"You're welcome."
Basically, if you run into someone who isn't scared of lions, they're lying, or a lion in disguise. Everyone but the Maasai, that is.
And not just because they can hover away from the lions, although they can also do that.
This nomadic group of African tribes has long used a lion hunt as a rite of passage, one of a few steps in the process of turning teenagers into something useful. Using nothing more than spears and shields (and what must be spectacularly large testicles), the young Maasai venture out into the savanna to kill some lions.
In the exact same way our teenagers don't.
This is starting to be phased out of modern Maasai life, as the number of lions dwindles (because of disease, not the Maasai's huge balls). In the future, "getting a degree" is going to be the new "lion kill" for the young Maasai, and while we guess it's nice that they're acknowledging concepts like sustainability and working to adapt to the modern world, it's still a little sad to know that there will be fewer trained lion killers on our side when the lions do eventually rebuild their populations and rise up against us.
"Hey, uh, you got any lion in you?"
#4. Ritual Beatings
Throughout history, various tribes have used beatings in order for their young men to prove their toughness and courage. The Spartans, for example, appeared to do little else but beat their children, a process that ensured that any who survived to adulthood would be pretty tough.
The Matis people from the Amazon have a similar ritual called mariwin, in which village elders dress themselves up as important spirits, enter the village, and whip people. They whip children if the children are naughty, they whip warriors to make the warriors stronger, and they whip pregnant women to make the babies stronger. Obviously, we don't see this too much anymore, and certainly not officially, as we've collectively decided that we prefer our adolescents doughy.
"Man, why am I taking so much guff in this article?"
But one area where the tradition lives on is in Konomiya, Japan, where a very special villager is selected to traverse a sea of enraptured loincloth-clad men. At the Naked Men Festival, the chosen one, or the Shin-otoko, is battered by thousands of men in giant nappies trying to touch him for good luck. It is, obviously, a great honor.

#3. The Hand in a Hole
The way this test of bravery works is that the subject is made to put his hand in a hole. If that doesn't sound too scary, then consider that this hole or hollow stump or haunted crevasse or whatever is also often filled with critters. If you're still not getting it, it's perhaps best illustrated by this scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, in which Indiana's shrill friend has to stick her hand in a bug-filled hole to stop a deathtrap.
How much of a test this is varies a lot from person to person; for many, the threat of these little critters evokes some pretty primal fears. If you don't like bugs or snakes, it might be impossible for you to complete this kind of fear-based glory hole.
Stock Image No. 256734. Keywords: golf, ball, glory, hole.
As a rite of passage, this practice is best exemplified by the father/son tradition of noodling. In the American South, where both free time and limbs are readily disposable, it's been discovered that by diving into the water and sticking your arm into any old hole, you can trick the catfish (who happens to call that hole its home) into clamping onto your arm. Then you just haul it out and bask in the glory.

That's a terrifying hole.
This is only mildly dangerous if everything goes right, like if the catfish doesn't pull you under, or the catfish isn't a catfish and is instead a nest of poisonous snakes. At which point it becomes mildly lethal, and your dad gets in trouble with mom for losing another one.

The trial is set to continue in a decade-old case of a former Gallup paramedic charged with raping an 11-year-old boy in an Albuquerque arroyo.
Genaro Sandoval is scheduled Thursday to go back to New Mexico District Court in Albuquerque.
Prosecutors say DNA evidence links the 39-year-old to a 2003 rape of a boy who was walking home from middle school.
But Sandoval's attorneys say it's unclear if Sandoval is the one responsible for the crime.
The case has been revived after 10 years thanks to DNA evidence.
Sandoval also is accused of molesting five other boys in Albuquerque in separate cases.

One thing about many holiday traditions is they eventually evolve into, well, new traditions.
Consider the time-honored tradition of Black Friday, that day after Thanksgiving that was said to make or break the holiday season for shoppers who were eager to snag a particular gift at a very special price. It involved weeks of planning, getting out of bed before the crack of dawn and waiting outside a store until the doors were finally opened.
That tradition is slowly disappearing, as many stores expanded on the recent trend of rolling out their post-Thanksgiving specials on Thursday afternoon and evening, not too long after the turkey and fixings had been cleared from the table.
If that isn't enough to ruffle the feathers of dedicated shoppers, newer dates have been added to the holiday calendar. Small Business Saturday, which happens this Saturday, is a day set aside to encourage shoppers to patronize the brick-and-mortar stores that line Main Street and make up the backbone of our local economy. At the other end of the spectrum is Cyber Monday, which has become one of the busiest online shopping days of the year.
However you shop this holiday season, we hope you will keep some simple tips in mind. If you plan to venture out today or Small Business Saturday, remember the streets around shopping areas will be a little busier, the parking lots more crowded and the lines at the registers a little longer.
Remember the spirit of the holiday season -peace on Earth, goodwill to your fellow man - and don't rush displays, push and shove, bully or jostle your fellow shoppers. What kind of a victory is it, we wonder, to have knocked an elderly person out of the way to be first in line?
Don't be afraid to hold a door open for a fellow shopper or for someone who is trying to navigate a store with a stroller.
And remember that sharing a smile or a kind word with a clerk who has faced a never-ending line of not-so-nice customers can make that person - and you - feel a whole lot better.
Above all, enjoy yourself, and happy shopping.

Which open source phrase do you say/reference most often?
What's your favorite open source phrase?
Which open source phrase do you say/reference most often?
They're not our favorite movie quotes but I've caught myself saying some of the more popular open source phrases more than once. It might be an analogy that we use to describe what open source is or perhaps a conversation starter.
Which of these phrases do you use the most? And which ones aren't on the list that should be? Tell us in the comments.
32 Comments
"Patches happily accepted!"
"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
That's a Microsoft phrase, not an open source phrase.
Steve Stites
That's a universal phrase. The MS version would be "it's not a bug, it's just broke."
it's certainly used very often, but not exclusively on open source...
FOSS: High reliability, it's a state of mind.
Microsoft: Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with windows
Apple: Failure is not an option, it's a file system.
"Software is like sex: it's better when it's free." - Linus Torvalds
"Free as in speech, not as in beer."
YES, it's free as in speech, the other is NOT free software (and it's used to mark that difference)
RTFM is my favorite anything phrase.
Build it and they will come has another background, but works for the open source community and is less branded than 'Just do it'.
On a more specialized note, one of my favorites is "A result computed by a "mathematical" system, whose source code is not public, can not be accepted as part of a mathematical proof" from Why freedom is important for scientists by Joris van der Hoeven from the GNU TeXmacs project.
Open source. Open minds. Open future.
show me the code
"If you think that your program users are stupid, only the stupid gonna use your program" - Linus Torvalds
"Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program."
Linus Torvalds
No windows for virus :)
Here, have a copy. It's yours.
"Unix is simple. It just takes a genius to understand its simplicity." – Dennis Ritchie
Free as in freedom.
free software, free society
Open source IS user-friendly ... it's just very picky about its friends.
jk jk
"20xx is the year of Linux on the desktop!"
"Thou Shalt Be Free! ( this is an order, whatever it takes...)"
This one is for FOSS terrorists...
It just works.
Research, Adopt, Adapt
May the source be with you.
My vote is for: Free as in speech, not as in beer. That should have been the full quote in the original poll. Free as in beer is just a useful consequence (but not necessarily the only option) of the other kind of freedom.
"Open source; it's not life or death; it's much more important than that"
Free as in kittens!

Walter Mosley is coming to UB as a social and political commentator, but most of the audience will be there to see one of their favorite authors.
Mosley, who recently turned 61, has written more than a book a year since his career began.
"I started writing in my 30s, but I've told stories my entire life," Mosley said by phone from New York. He remarked that everything he does now – writing and drawing in particular – he did as a child. "I am maybe fitting into my life as I get older."
So are his characters. Easy Rawlins, a black man who rises above the prejudices of Los Angeles in the 1950s and '60s, is modeled after Mosley's father. He at one point runs the maintenance department in a school, as Mosley's father did, and, over the course of a dozen books, he at almost every moment exudes the aura of a confident and capable man.
Leonid McGill, living in New York City (like Mosley) in the 2000s, also is a man constantly making adjustments, for his wife, his lovers, his wife's lovers, and the children they are raising together – some his, some his in name only.
Mosley likes family men in his books, and points out that even his killers – the menacing Hush and volatile Mouse – have families of their own. In this way, Mosley seamlessly helps his readers relate to people they may never meet in their own lives, no matter what their color.
But he does have a larger motive.
"I live in a country that, to a great degree, is built on the backs of black men and black women, not wholly or mostly, but to a great degree," Mosley said. "But there are no black men heroes – they just don't exist. You can find a few, now and then, but as a rule they don't exist, or for them it's a stereotype, and they are not heroic.
"My interest is in writing about heroic men," he said. He compares his troubled Easy and Leonid to the figures of ancient stories. "Like those from Homer, they are deeply flawed – and that is what makes them heroic.
"And that's why men and women [readers] like them – each for different reasons and in different ways."
In May, those fans will get something they weren't sure would ever come – Easy Rawlins returns in "Little Green." Last seen in 2007's "Blonde Faith" driving off a cliff and into darkness, Easy recovers in 1967 California.
"A lot of it takes place in Sunset Boulevard and with the hippies – it's very kind of psychedelic," said Mosley, a former hippie himself.
It should be interesting reading, as the country careens toward 1968 – a year of assassinations, protests and riots, as Easy Rawlins moves through middle age and as his country continues its 200-year struggle for equality and justice for all – one way or another.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - A deputy attorney general told a Blair County jury on Monday that Kenneth J. Piner and his brother were major distributors for Baltimore-based cocaine dealers and that they helped in "tearing down the Altoona community."
"They are brothers and parasites who sucked the life blood out of the community," said Senior Deputy Attorney General Dave Gorman as he made an opening address in the Piner's drug trial, which is expected to last three weeks. Piner's brother will be tried later.
Piner is charged with multiple offenses in what police called Operation Last Call, the investigation into a drug ring that operated out of the Corner Bar and Grille, 1001 Eighth Ave.
Piner, 52, has persistently stated that while he dealt in small amounts of cocaine, like $50 and $100 bags, he was not part of any organization or drug ring that distributed thousands of grams of cocaine.
Gorman said Piner was a major street dealer who willingly did the bidding of Damion Floyd and Rodney Williams, who also are facing multiple charges in the Operation Last Call case.
While Gorman said Piner might not have known the specifics of how much cocaine was being transported to Altoona from Baltimore or the amount of money that was involved, he was recorded telling another individual that he knew the origin of the cocaine, knew it was being distributed out of the Corner Bar and said it was "major weight," meaning, Gorman said, that the organization was dealing in kilos and not grams.
This makes Piner a co-conspirator in the distribution of cocaine and makes him as guilty as the leaders of the ring, Gorman said.
He said the Piner brothers were aware that police were investigating the group, and Gorman said that in a phone call that Piner boasted he wouldn't get caught.
Piner allegedly told a person how easy it was to make money from drugs in the city.
"This stuff sells itself," Piner stated on the tape.
Police began investigating the group after confidential informants made several buys from the Piners. That led to court-authorized wiretaps, which led authorities to the Corner Bar and the Baltimore dealers.
On Nov. 4, 2011, police brought down the organization after following a member of the drug ring to Baltimore where another half kilo of cocaine had been purchased for distribution in Altoona.
Michael Lattieri, a drug addict, testified Monday about drug buys he made on Nov. 30, 2010, and Jan. 14, 2011, from Piner.
Lattieri - who is serving a 10-to-20 year sentence for 16 burglaries, six of which he said he pleaded guilty to even though he didn't commit them - testified Monday he met Piner on Nov. 30. 2010, at the apartment of Piner's sister when Piner offered to sell him a $50 bag of cocaine.
He testified he also gave Piner and his brother electronic equipment Lattieri stole from lawyers' offices in 2010 and early 2011. The Piners gave him cocaine in return.
He said he purchased $50 in cocaine on Jan. 4, 2011, from Kenneth Piner while parked at the rear of the now-closed Panda Bar in downtown Altoona.
Gorman said that Piner made anywhere from $1,800 to $4,000 on every ounce of cocaine he sold.
Piner's attorney R. Thomas Forr did not present an opening statement Monday but said he would do so at the conclusion of the prosecution's case.
On Friday, Forr filed several motions to dismiss the charges against Kenneth Piner, including a presentment by a grand jury, and to disallow evidence collected by police as the result of several search warrants.
Milliron said his law clerk was researching the law to determine if he had jurisdiction to hear Forr's complaints about the grand jury, noting they probably should be reviewed by the grand jury's supervising judge.
He also said he would be issuing orders concerning Forr's requests to exclude evidence.
Although the judge made no written decision concerning the Forr petitions, he did not delay the Piner trial.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Fidelity Investments will be expanding its ETF offerings beyond the single Nasdaq Composite ETF. It is believed that they will offer active sector ETFs, similar to their Select Sector mutual funds. They are late to the ETF party, however, and competition is so stiff that a record number of ETF providers are closing shop, leaving the market to a few dominant players. That's not to say the ETF business is shrinking. ETFs assets are at a record high and the three largest providers, iShares, State Street Global Advisors, and Vanguard Group, have the lion's share. Three out of every four dollars invested in ETFs go to those three companies.It's not surprising that these three are the dominant providers, because they were the first to enter the ETF arena. They have the assets and trading volume that investors want. Will Fidelity's new ETFs be popular? Fidelity has the marketing power and distribution experience, so they could prosper, but they'll need to undercut the competition, and their own mutual funds, with lower fees. Performance counts, too. Since they will offer active sector ETFs, they'd better outperform the static sector index ETFs from iShares. The industry is dominated by a few players as most investors find little reason to look beyond the popular ETFs. That's why Scottrade and Russell Investments recently announced that they are closing the majority of their ETFs. In time we'll know if Fidelity's active ETF mix is worth following.- David Vomund is an Incline Village-based fee-only money manager. Information is found at www.ETFportfolios.net or by calling 775-832-8555. Clients hold the positions mentioned in this article. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

They usually wear shirts that have the Limited Too logo and tight jeans with stupid designs.

"Alone" is a sparse, thought provoking, pad and electric guitar driven track. With no tempo, the chimey, effected electric guitar under girded by a droning pad takes you down a solemn road.
While "Alone" may conjure up feelings of emptiness, the progression does lift up now and again, offering glimpses of hope.

Summerville High School senior Brandon Wilkerson, on April 25, signed with the Erskine College basketball team.
"It is always exciting to see quality young people receive an opportunity to continue competing athletically at the next level while pursuing a college degree," Summerville coach Greg Elliott said. "Brandon has always been a young man whose goals are taller than 10 feet high and he will be successful at whatever he attempts."
Wilkerson was a three-year starter for the Green Wave and led the team to three consecutive Region 8-AAAA Championships. He received all-region honors all three years and received All-State honors and played in the North-South All Star Game as a senior.
During his Green Wave career, Wilkerson averaged 18 points per game and 8 rebounds per game. He shot 50 percent from the field and 70 percent from the free-throw line. Other schools recruiting Wilkerson included Coker College, Queens College, Augusta State, and Virginia Intermont.
"I like the small campus at Erskine," Wilkerson said during a signing celebration at the high school. "There is no place to hide so everyone there will know me and know what I'm about. I just like the overall feel of it and that it has a Christian-based background. I think that will help me improve my game as well as who I am as a person."
Erskine College is a Division II institution and a member of Conference Carolinas. The Flying Fleet men's basketball team finished 18-10 overall, and 11-9 in league play last season.
"I think they want to use me as like an inside/outside guy," Wilkerson said. "They like to spread the floor and are a good three-point shooting team so I think it will be a good fit for me."
He plans to major in athletic training.

Guests were also treated to local, gourmet food and drinks."
And just a day after the ceremony, the couple was spotted strolling on the beach.
"Matt and Luci seemed to enjoy a quiet moment together. They strolled on the beach hand-in-hand and looked like newlyweds. They were smiling and looked very happy together," says the source.

"Yes, I have a few," the Oscar winner, 46, said of her tattoos, turning coy, however, as to their locations as she was moved to tears of laughter on Wednesday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"Some things I can tell you the answer to, and some things I'll tell you later," Roberts said about their placements. "Aren't you just rethinking me completely now?" she added with a look to the audience.
Her gallery of tattoos include all of her three children's names and her husband Danny Moder's initials. She also revealed that both got tattoos of their initials before they wed in 2002.
"You didn't want to commit to his name?" DeGeneres said teasingly.
"Actually, we were brave or idiotic, because it was before we got married," Roberts said about of their early – and indelible – commitment.
Speaking of which, Roberts added that she was thrilled by news that her longtime friend and costar, George Clooney, 53, was finally taking the marriage plunge.
"I think it's sublime," said Roberts, who said she has not yet met his fiancée, British attorney and human rights activist Amal Alamuddin. "She is beautiful and smart and he is happy, and that is what matters to me."
Roberts also got in a sweet surprise from DeGeneres's favorite Oscar pizza delivery guy, who showed up to deliver some pies to her audience.
"What a coincidence that we would get a guy from Russia who grew up watching Pretty Woman," DeGeneres said of pizza man Edgar. "You were his favorite movie star of all time and now he's serving pizza to you."
"I think they should always have a snack break at the Oscars now," said Roberts of the pizza stunt DeGeneres pulled when she hosted the Oscars.

NEW CUMBERLAND - Hancock County Schools Superintendent Suzan Smith says she will have a new recommendation for what to do with Newell Memorial Field at the Nov. 13 school board meeting.
The board on Monday rejected a $50,000 bid on the property by the Chester Volunteer Fire Department, saying it was too low. The board had set a minimum bid of $250,000 for the Oct. 25 auction.
Board members voted 4-0 in favor of Smith's recommendation that the fire department's bid be rejected, with John Manypenny abstaining.
"The legal advertisement set a minimum bid of $250,000, and that was not met," board President Jerry Durante said. "Because of that, unfortunately, the bid has to be rejected."
Asked why he abstained instead of voting "no," Manypenny said, "I thought the auction was mishandled. It brought into question, on my part, whether the minimum bid might have been made null and void by accepting a bid that was less than the minimum and by accepting the deposit check."
The legal advertisement placed by the school board in area newspapers said the 4.25-acre property would be sold at public auction to the highest responsible bidder "whose bid meets or exceeds the minimum advertised bid herein."
Had the board accepted the fire department's bid, it could have exposed the district to litigation, Smith said.
Chester fire Chief John Hissam said he bid below the minimum because there were no other bidders and he felt $50,000 was a fair price. Hissam's bid was just the latest in several attempts by the fire department to acquire the old football stadium.
"There's nothing we can do," Hissam said after Monday's board meeting. "The board has seen fit to turn down $300,000, $250,000, $150,000 and $50,000 in two and a half months."
Asked if he would bid on the property again, Hissam said, "Absolutely."
The fire department wants to maintain the property for community use in a manner similar to Chester City Park, which it leases to the city of Chester, Hissam said.
"The people of Newell are 100 percent behind us," he said. "I've heard no one from Chester say that they think this is a bad idea."
Hissam said Monday that even though there's outside interest in the property, no one wants to bid against the fire department for fear of how the public will react.
After Monday's vote, the board met in executive session to discuss the stadium sale and possible school property litigation. Durante said the next step is dependent on Smith, who will have to make another recommendation to the board.
Manypenny said the board should have accepted one of the earlier offers from the fire department or the city of Chester.
"I wasn't in favor of putting it up for auction when there was an offer made that would have met the minimum bid and would have given it to an entity - the city of Chester - that would, in turn, have transferred it to the fire department," he said. "I thought that we needed to give that offer consideration. It was a legal offer. The board should have considered it."

"No one wants to grow up to be a rock star to sing the same song over and over again in a studio," says McGraw, who has maintained a 40-lb. weight loss in recent years. "The reason you want to do this is to be in front of thousands of people, playing that guitar and doing what you love. And when I'm on stage, I want to feel good."
McGraw will hit the work-out sessions hard in the upcoming months to prepare for his Two Lanes of Freedom tour in May; the new album hits stores next week. To make sure he has all the right moves, he trains with martial arts expert and stunt man Roger Yuan, 52, three times a day five weeks prior to hitting the road.
"We work with pulleys, bars and do core training, strength and balanced movements to build up the muscles between the ribs and connective tissues," says Yuan, who also got Daniel Craig in shape to play James Bond. "I have trained a lot of people and many are hard workers. But Tim is another animal. I have to rein him in and have to tell him, 'You can't do that much.' There is no quitting in him."
Though McGraw says he still indulges occasionally, he trains and diets before tours because "it's part of my job," he says.
"I'll eat a cheeseburger now and then, and I love sweet tea," says McGraw, who works out around four hours a day when he's not performing. "I like to eat. I like food. That is one of the reasons that I throw that extra hour of working out in."

COLUMBIA - South Carolina's attorney general is free to investigate House Speaker Bobby Harrell, the S.C. Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Wednesday, overturning a lower court's decision and turning their fight into a seesaw battle that is expected to continue.
January 2014: Just prior to the start of the 2014 Legislative session, Attorney General Alan Wilson announces he is turning over a 10-month State Law Enforcement Division report into House Speaker Bobby Harrell's dealings to a state grand jury.
The move comes after The Post and Courier in September 2012 publishes a report detailing how Harrell, R-Charleston, reimbursed himself hundreds of thousands of dollars from his campaign account since 2008, much of it for flights on his private plane. The S.C. Policy Council, a pro-limited government think tank, has also raised questions about Harrell seeking special treatment in relation to his drug-repackaging company.
Harrell calls the grand jury announcement a "blatant smear campaign" meant to embarrass him. "The facts still are that I have not broken the law," Harrell said.
March 2014: In the first of several court appearances, Harrell and his legal team argue in front of Richland County Circuit Judge Casey Manning over whether Wilson improperly threatened Harrell through an intermediary as the state's top prosecutor dealt with the ethics probe into the speaker, setting the tone for a heightened level of acrimony.
May 2014: In a much-anticipated decision, Manning rules that allegations against Harrell must first be heard by the House Ethics Committee and cannot be pursued by a state grand jury. Manning called the use of the state grand jury "premature" because the House ethics panel had not yet heard the case.
Wilson appeals, saying as top prosecutor, he has the right to follow a probe wherever it leads and at any time. He vows to continue the investigation despite the judge's order saying he cannot use the state grand jury or other investigative agency to do so. The Supreme Court agrees, and also says that it will hear the appeal.
June 24, 2014: S.C. Supreme Court justices grill attorneys in the fight between Harrell and Wilson.
Justices want to know why prosecutors had failed to present clear evidence of criminal wrongdoing that would rise to the level of public corruption - the standard for asking the state grand jury to investigate such a case.
The attorney general's office replies that criminal grand juries mark the start, not the end, of any investigation.
July 9, 2014: The S.C. Supreme Court overrules Manning and affirms Wilson's authority to investigate. They return the case to Manning to decide whether Wilson should be disqualified in connection to Harrell's allegation of intimidation.
In a 13-page ruling, the justices said Attorney General Alan Wilson is fully empowered to investigate wrongdoing wherever it may occur and that his powers are not blunted because the investigation involves a lawmaker's ethical conduct.
The state's top prosecutor possesses "wide latitude in selecting what cases to prosecute and what cases to plea bargain," they wrote as they recognized that the attorney general's authority to prosecute "derives from our state constitution and thus cannot be impaired by legislation."
Harrell, a Charleston Republican, has faced allegations that he used campaign funds for personal use and his position for personal benefit. He has not been charged with any crimes.
But Harrell and his attorneys had argued that any probe into such matters belonged with the House Ethics Committee, where such matters are usually settled. The grand jury probe should be halted, they have said, until that House panel can vet the allegations.
Wilson contends the law gives him the right to investigate Harrell and to convene the state grand jury as part of the investigation.
A May ruling by Circuit Judge Casey Manning was flawed, the justices wrote, because he failed to consider the law enforcement role of the attorney general's office.
They compared the House Ethics Committee's authority to a professional body that oversees its members.
"For example, a doctor is subject to oversight by the South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners (the Board) and may have his or her medical license rescinded in disciplinary proceedings, while simultaneously being the focus of a criminal investigation and prosecution, all for the same behavior," the justices wrote.
Harrell critics and others praised the decision. Former Attorney General Charlie Condon said the ruling is not so much about the Harrell-Wilson fight, but a clear support for the rule of law.
Manning's decision, he said, had the effect of setting up two sets of standards in terms of investigative paths, "one for the General Assembly, and one for the rest of us. ... The court unanimously rebuked that," he said, adding that the decision has the effect of reaffirming the attorney general's role as chief prosecutor in every court in the state.
In a statement, Harrell noted that the issue about whether the attorney general had the authority to take on the case was brought up by Manning. Harrell's attorney had asked the circuit court to remove Wilson from the case, arguing he has a conflict of interest. Harrell said he was "disappointed" with the decision, but said the court was right to sharply question a deputy attorney general arguing the case on June 24.
"As Supreme Court Justices clearly pointed out at the hearing, the Attorney General has improperly handled this case from the beginning. ... As the Circuit Court ruling stated, after more than a year of investigations, the Attorney General was still pursuing this case even though he could not point to a single shred of evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Clearly the Attorney General's motivations have been corrupted by political motives and that is why he needs to be replaced with a fair and impartial prosecutor."
Mark Powell, a spokesman for Wilson's office, declined to comment.
The justices asked Manning to decide whether Wilson has a conflict of interest in the case. While a March hearing on the issue was held in public, a footnote in the opinion says that all future hearings should be held behind closed doors because the court is ruling on matters involving the secretive grand jury.
Ashley Landess, president of the small government advocacy group S.C. Policy Council, largely praised the decision. The Policy Council has been Harrell's chief critic, and had pushed Wilson to take the case, saying the House speaker should not be investigated by his colleagues. "It's a huge relief that the court restored the rule of law," Landess said.
She disagreed with the court's decision that future hearings be held behind closed doors. "There is a real danger in allowing that to happen in secret considering the already disturbing nature of this process so far," she said.
Jay Bender, an attorney for The Post and Courier and other media organizations, said that there is likely little the media or other public advocates can do to gain access to the hearing. "That's the history of it, grand juries operate in secret," he said.
Manning is now expected to decide in the near future whether Wilson has a conflict of interest in the case. During a March hearing, both sides laid out their arguments. Just two witnesses testified: Harrell chief of staff Brad Wright and Wilson. Wright said that Wilson wanted him to convey a threat to the speaker during a one-on-one meeting with the attorney general over a piece of legislation.
Wilson denied that he had sought to threaten Harrell.

Former American Idol finalist Crystal Bowersox will officially be taking a walk after midnight – on Broadway.
Producers of the Patsy Cline musical Always... Patsy Cline said Tuesday that Bowersox, 25, will portray the legendary country singer in the title role of a summer production in New York. John Rando will direct.
Written in 1988 by Ted Swindley, Always... Patsy Cline is based on a true story about Cline's friendship with a fan from Houston who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961 and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death in 1963 in a plane crash at age 30.
The musical features 27 Cline hits, including "Walkin' After Midnight," ''I Fall To Pieces," ''Crazy," ''She's Got You," ''Sweet Dreams," ''Back In Baby's Arms" and "Your Cheatin' Heart." A live band accompanies the action.
The name of the musical is borrowed from the Cline's letters to the fan, Louise Seger, which she signed "(Love) Always... Patsy Cline." Oscar and Emmy nominee Annette O'Toole will play Seger.
Bowersox, who lost season 9 of American Idol to Lee DeWyze in 2010, is currently promoting her new release, the sophomore CD "All That For This." Bowersox's previous acting roles include a 2011 appearance on ABC's Burden of Proof.
This year is the 50th anniversary of Patsy Cline's death. Performances begin in July with an August opening. The theater and exact dates haven't been announced.
