The area directly in front of a urinal in the men's room where there is chronically a little puddle of foul urine. This is caused by the little drops at the beginning and end of the flow that don't make it into the urinal because the guy doesn't want to stick his dick right into the dirty thing. However, the drop zone is an accepted part of the male culture, as is the default three inches from the actual urinal that you must stand in order not to pick up some disease from virtually humping the thing to avoid an addition to the drop zone. (another unfortunate result of standing too close to a urinal is splashback when your piss hits the vertical wall and deflects back at you in a hail of little drops)
"Woah woah, son. Always watch out for the drop zone when you pee in this thing. Keep your legs spread a little and your feet in a slighly outward angle, and you won't step in it."
'Okay, dad.'
'Okay, dad.'

MARTINSBURG - Main Street Martinsburg recently won a West Virginia Redevelopment Collaborative grant for work on the historical Matthews Foundry property at 420 N. Queen St.
The grant is for $5,750 and will bring together public and private sector experts in the redevelopment of industrial sites, Main Street Martinsburg Executive Director Randy Lewis said in a telephone interview Monday.
"They will come to the site to talk about possibilities of what to do with the site," he said. "They will spend a day or so to see what would be feasibly marketable. There is a vision of a marketplace there with retail stores, a restaurant with an outdoor area at the waterfall."

The Fitz/Matthews Foundry on North Queen Street will be the subject of a W.Va. Redevelopment Collaborative study funded with a grant administered by Main Street Martinsburg.
The property is owned by Vincent Groh of Hagerstown. The site includes the remains of a dam on the Tuscarora Creek that was used to power waterwheels for the foundry and other industries in that area.
The original 140-foot by 45-foot, two-story limestone structure was built around 1851 by Samuel Fitz of Hanover, Pa., and was called the Fitz Foundry, according to the National Register of Historic Places nomination form. It was included in B&O Historic District.
The business also was known as the Tuscarora Iron Works and as the T.E. Matthews Foundry, according to the nomination form. Most recently it was used as a machine shop, operating until about 1994.
This is the first time Main Street Martinsburg has attempted a project to reuse and readapt a building, Lewis said.
"We want to take Main Street Martinsburg to the next level," he said. "Readapting existing structures for reuse is part of our mission to revitalize downtown. This grant will start the ball rolling. It will be a long process, but we hope things will start to happen."
Contacted by phone Monday, Groh said he bought the property 10 to 15 years ago.
"There's a lot of potential for the property - I see a lot of potential," he said. "It's the most interesting part of Martinsburg, with the stream and waterfall. A restaurant would be nice."
Groh also sees some drawbacks to the property's location, namely traffic and access.
The property is very near the south end of the North Queen Street underpass, and with the heavy traffic flow on North Queen, there could be trouble getting into and out of the site, he said.
However, he is supportive of the project.
The West Virginia Redevelopment Collaborative is a program of the Northern West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center and uses a team approach to tackle obstacles involved in redeveloping brownfields, according to a WVRC news release.
Brownfields is a term used to describe former industrial sites that are unused or abandoned.
Experts from diverse backgrounds, including financing, landscape architecture and law, are brought in to assist in brownfields projects, the news release states. The teams are augmented by faculty members from West Virginia colleges and universities, as well as agency experts from the public and private sectors, according to the release.
WVRC is funded through a grant from the Claude W. Benedum Foundation through the WVU Foundation, a private nonprofit corporation that administers private gifts for West Virginia University.
The Northern West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center is a program of the West Virginia Water Research Institute, a division of the National Research Center for Coal and Energy at WVU.

Nick Ciuffo, the No. 21 MLB Draft selection from Lexington High School, signed a professional contract with the Tampa Bay Rays, Friday morning. The decision will be made official after Ciuffo passes a physical.
According to the Rays team website, the 18-year-old catcher will receive a $1,974,700 bonus, matching the recommended slot value set by MLB for the pick.
After putting pen to paper, Ciuffo will not honor his commitment to play baseball at South Carolina and instead report to the Gulf Coast Rays, one of two Rays rookie league teams. Gulf Coast plays its home games in Port Charlotte, Fla. and started its regular season this past Friday. The minor league affiliate plays through late August. Barring any promotions, Ciuffo will battle for starts with fellow catcher Taylor Hawkins, who through his first two games is sporting a .375 batting average (3-for-8) with all his hits as doubles.
Ciuffo is undoubtedly the organization's priority, though. Hawkins struggled in 16 games last season with the Gulf Coast Rays, batting .182 with 24 strikeouts to just two walks.
"We like his (Ciuffo's) tools and the chance (for him to be an everyday catcher in the big leagues," Rays scouting director R.J. Harrison said in an article on the Rays website. "He's a high school kid that's going to start his journey and work his way through the minor leagues. He's got a plus arm, average defender and we like his bat and power. And he's a tough kid. We like the kid."
Ciuffo started his high school career at Wando, playing the first two years in Mount Pleasant before transferring to Lexington. He is the state's Gatorade player of the year.
Bishop England track and field standout Griffie Loy added another honor to his laundry list of accolades last week, as he was named the state's Gatorade track athlete of the year.
His best discus throw of 196 feet six inches placed him No. 5 nationally. Loy is a repeat state champion in discus and shot put.
The South prevailed 2-1 over its northern foes in the North-South girls all-star soccer match this past Sunday at Blackbaud Stadium. Hannah Ross, of Wando, notched the game-winning goal. Warriors teammate Grace Gore assisted on the South's first goal. In the boys contest, the North handled the South 3-1. Academic Magnet's Jonathan Glenn scored the South's lone goal.
Jamie Wilson tied the lowest day score of the Rice Planters Amateur tournament at Snee Farm Country Club tournament this past week with a final-round 67. The 15-year-old Mount Pleasant product finished in a tie for 14th place and just eight strokes off the winner.
Maverick Antcliff, a rising sophomore at Augusta State, won the tournament (68-70-66—204) in a playoff against Austin Cody (71-66-67—204).
Wilson (73-72-67—212) plays for defending 2A state champion Bishop England and earned a spot on the all-state team after placing fifth in the state tournament match. Last year, Wilson racked up wins at the Florence Boys Invitational, SCJA Tommy Cuthbert All-Stars, HJGT Myrtle Beach Challenge and SCJA Player's Championship. He has qualified for the Georgia-South Carolina Team Challenge and the Bobby Champan Invitational this fall.
Over the June 16-17 Father's Day weekend, USA Rugby held the South Regional All-Star Tournament at Life University in Marietta, Ga. Talent from boys and girls high school rugby teams representing South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana competed in pool play. The boys represented South Carolina's two all-star teams: Team Palmetto (blue) and Team Crescent (red). The School of the Arts fielded a girls team, as well.
It put several Lowcountry players on a national stage. These games are were also used by USA Rugby for qualifying to the USA Rugby High School All-Americans Stars and Stripes Team. Those player selections are expected to be announced soon.

EBENSBURG - Cambria Heights senior Isaac Vescovi scored a game-high 34 points, only to finish his high school basketball career in a 65-52 loss to Marion Center in a District 6 Class AA first-round playoff game Tuesday night at Bishop Carroll High School.
The loss marked a tough end to a brilliant career.
"Isaac's a constant worker. He's just that kid who was in the gym every day," Cambria Heights coach Eric Nagel said. "It's tough to see [his career] end like this. I think it's difficult for him, too."
Vescovi scored 23 points in the first half on 10-of-17 shooting.
"We could say we wanted to focus on him and take care of him. But in the first half we just didn't do it," Marion Center coach Matt Reed said. "In the second half we just said, 'Make somebody else beat us. Whatever you do, make sure somebody else beat you other than him. So try to limit his shots, know where he's at at all times and actually talk on defense.' "
Vescovi managed only two shots in the third quarter as Marion Center reversed a 31-26 deficit into a 43-40 lead into the final eight minutes.
"They followed him a lot more and paid a lot more attention to him," Nagel said. "We had a tough time getting him the basketball in the second half."
Vescovi hit a 3-pointer 53 seconds into the final period to cut the Stingers lead to 45-43. Cameron Miller's only basket of the night 11/2 minutes later pulled Cambria Heights to within 48-47. It was as close as the Highlanders got the rest of the night.
While the Stingers were finding a way to keep Vescovi in check, Cambria Heights had no answer for Todd Fetsko or Brodey Thompson. Fetsko, a 6-foot-5 junior, led the Stingers with 28 points and 11 rebounds. Thompson added 20 points.
"He caught the ball [at the] high post and went through the middle. We had a hard time stopping him," Nagel said of Fetsko.
Marion Center will face top-seeded Bald Eagle Area in a quarterfinal-round game later this week at a site and time to be determined.
CAMBRIA HEIGHTS (52): Milanesi 1 0-0 2, Bearer 3 0-0 9, Brawley 1 0-0 2, Hoppel 1 1-2 3, Vescovi 14 4-4 34, Miller 1 0-0 2. Totals 21 5-6 52.
MARION CENTE (65): Keith 1 0-0 2, Fetsko 9 10-15 28, Thompson 8 2-5 20, Glasser 1 2-2 5, Rupp 5 0-0 10. Totals 24 14-22 65.

A consciousness-raising journey, starting in Ethiopia and other countries in Africa before skipping over to the Americas and winding up in the sunny Caribbean, will provide a respite from the winter blahs, gray skies and cold temperatures – all without leaving Buffalo.
The virtual trip is part of the second annual "Africa: Spirit and Sound" presented by Healing Hands and Juneteenth of Buffalo on Monday in Kleinhans Music Hall. The two shows at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. use the arts as a vehicle to teach African and African-American history, and to show how Africans have influenced other countries.
"We want to inject the idea that we are capable and conscious enough to take care of ourselves," said Ros Jomo, a musician with Healing Hands.
The educational presentation includes music, dancing, poetry and special guest Donisha Prendergast, a filmmaker and granddaughter of reggae legend Bob Marley.
Prendergast said she is eager to return to Buffalo following a visit last year for a screening of her film, "RasTa: A Soul's Journey." The documentary follows her around the world as she learns about the roots and evolution of the Rastafari culture that started in Jamaica with the "downtrodden ones, the poor people," she said in a phone interview from her home in Jamaica.
Organizers are expecting about 15 schools to attend this year's event. The show opens with an African-inspired story by Sharon Holley, a co-founder of Tradition Keepers and Spin-A-Storytellers and a retired librarian.
Then begins the "journey," an on-screen, PowerPoint presentation that takes the audience to various countries represented in the show.
"It's like we're on an airplane visiting different parts of the world," Jomo said.
The first stop is the African continent and will include clips of important historical and current figures as well as icons of well-known ancient sites.
Then it's off to the Americas for an education about how the spirit of music helps black Americans express their culture. A gospel singer will perform spiritual songs to show how the African culture was transplanted during the transatlantic slave trade.
Anthony Neal, an associate professor at Buffalo State College, will recite a poem that gives a general overview of the transatlantic slave trade.
The final destination is the Caribbean with visual clips of early settlements and African people arriving there.
Prendergast then will speak about creating a world in which young people can prosper.
"Her message is to strive and empower themselves," Jomo said.
"Africa: Spirit and Sound" is in keeping with the missions of Juneteenth and Kwanzaa to acculturate African-American children to the many possibilities that can take place when they are properly educated, Jomo said.
"We want to inspire them through the arts to find their special place – like math, science – and add value to the community. We want to encourage kids to engage in community building, educate them that we have the ability to fix our own problems," Jomo said.
Admission is $5.50 for students and seniors, $10.50 for adults. For more information, call 948-5738.

New York City's official unemployment rate was 5.4 percent as of last month . Although that is the lowest rate for any March since 2001, the city's rate is still higher than the state and national average of 4.7 percent. This number translates into 209,000 unemployed city residents.
Unemployment is difficult to measure, as is insufficient employment. According to the Fiscal Policy Institute, 375,000 city residents are either unemployed or underemployed (meaning they work part time rather than full time), and 860,000 New Yorkers work at poverty level wages.
Several city agencies provide services to New Yorkers seeking jobs – and all could be helped with an increase in technological services.
That was the message of two New York City Council members, Gale Brewer (who is chair of the technology committee of the council) and David Yassky (chair of the Committee on Small Business) at a recent hearing. Brewer will soon introduce legislation to offer technological enhancements to the city's Workforce 1 facilities, where city residents can learn about employment programs available at the federal, state, and local level. Every borough houses at least one of these "one-stop" centers. All city residents can visit the centers, including people with well-paying jobs who desire to improve their skills, but the target populations are unemployed city residents and people with low-wage jobs who desire stable and/or better-paying work.
New York City's Department of Small Business Services operates the Workforce 1 centers, which share quarters with NYC Business Solutions Centers. These seek to provide businesses with a skilled labor force. This direct interface between job seekers and employers began in July 2003.
The level of computer training varies between Workforce 1 centers, and is sometimes extensive. For example, the Brooklyn location offers (in pdf format) computer skills assessments and a wide range of courses about Microsoft Office programs . The Department of Small Business Services has forged successful partnerships with technology companies as well. Last year IBM donated special software that makes job searching easier for elderly city residents, and residents with limited English proficiency, who attend a Workforce 1 center.
The centers are typically open only during business hours, which limits the ability of people with low-paying jobs to avail themselves of their services. From March 2005 to March 2006, every Workforce 1 facility combined served 81,300 city residents, which is a large number considering how few centers there are.
Brewer and others suggest several technological upgrades to make these centers more useful, such as creating a centralized Web site for all city job seekers. Another idea would be to tap into the New York State Department of Labor's database of unemployed residents throughout the state, which includes a description of their skills and work history. The city's Workforce 1 facilities do not currently have access to this database. With this information, facility workers would be able to match job seekers with appropriate employers more easily.
Another improvement would be personalized online job-seeking and resume-building tools, accessible with an ID and password. The State Department of Labor already provides such tools, and the city's Department of Small Business Services is investigating how to establish them. The benefit of this approach is greater autonomy over the job-seeking process. One challenge in impoverished city neighborhoods will be establishing a level of Internet connectivity that would make this service useful.
Even if all of these ideas come to fruition, the likelihood is that city residents on public assistance will not receive as much benefit as others. As the Gazette has documented, the Workforce 1 centers typically serve city residents who are not on public assistance. Thus, despite the City Council's desire to increase assistance to everyone seeking employment, upgrades to Workforce 1 services are likely to help some city residents more than others.
Federal job assistance funding priorities are a significant reason for the increased attention to Workforce 1 facilities; to some extent, this budgetary reality renders concerns about equity moot. In an analysis of the Bush administration's 2006 budget proposals, the National Employment Law Project observes national momentum toward making Workforce 1-type facilities "the preferred delivery mode for a growing range of public services". Hopefully the Workforce 1 facilities will soon offer an increased range of services, which will serve as a model of technological support for all city job seekers.

July | August 2006 | Like most life scientists, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public Health spent a great deal of time managing data.
As is the case in many labs, data were stored in Excel spreadsheets that were e-mailed to colleagues. As such, much time was spent formatting and preparing data for analysis. And when data was shared, there were also difficulties tracking any changes to the data to ensure everyone was working with the same information.
"I was working on many projects with lots of colleagues; it was hard to synchronize all of the information," says Michael Barmada, associate professor of human genetics in the Graduate School of Public Health. "I started looking for a data management solution."
Barmada notes, "We were dealing with huge amounts of data, and we were looking for ways to fit all types of data together. We were getting swamped."
In his quest for a solution, Barmada heard a talk by Josh Knauer, director of advanced development at MAYA Design, about a new type of database called the Information Commons, a peer-to-peer system that allows many people to securely post and share large amounts of disparate data. In today's vernacular, it's something like a wiki database where many users can contribute data, designated people can edit or change the data, and in this case, the originator of the data can selectively control who sees what data.
Similar, But DifferentThe Information Commons came out of work done by MAYA Design over the past 15 years that was funded by $50 million in research contracts from a number of government agencies including DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency), the Department of Defense group that played a large role in the early development of the Internet.
The funding was to look into the flow of information in distributed computing environments, something that is called information liquidity.
In a 2005 white paper titled "Designing the Future of Information: The Internet and Beyond," the consultancy Harbor Research claims the Information Commons is a disruptive technology, meaning it is "not incremental improvements, patches, Band-Aids, or new flavors of what we already do."
In Barmada's case, his work with MAYA Design has led to the development of what is being called the Genetic Information Commons (GIC).
Many of the elements of the Information Commons approach will seem familiar to life scientists. For instance, at the heart of the MAYA approach is something called a u-form, a collection of data attributes and their values. Each u-form has a universally unique identifier (UUID).
On the surface, this sounds similar to Semantic Web technology, which uses a uniform resource identifier (URI), metadata about data elements, and information about relationships between data elements. But Knauer says there are distinctions. For instance, UUIDs are not location/server specific (like many Semantic Web URIs). This helps to ensure real data liquidity and means you can get to data even if some of the servers are down.
Additionally, Knauer notes the MAYA approach is more a system for storing and massively distributing data through a peer-to-peer network of repositories. In this system, u-forms get "shepherded throughout the peer network," says Knauer.
The real power of the Information Commons approach is the ability to securely share data. All data are encrypted and digitally signed when posted. Thanks to the encryption, a researcher can post all of his or her data, but then can selectively designate who can view it. Additionally, the digital signing of the data serves as a check to ensure that none of the data has been altered.
Because all data are represented in u-forms, it is easier to work. For instance, while a database might include an entire genome, a researcher can easily select the data associated with a single gene for analysis.
This helps change the way Barmada and his group do their work. Using the GIC, "We're not asking how do we integrate this data, but how do we analyze this data?" he says.
For those wanting to try the Information Commons approach, MAYA Design will offer the basic software for free. If specific tools are desired, MAYA typically partners with an organization where both apply for a research grant or contract to fund the development.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
April 9, 2013
Saint Vincent College's Center for Political and Economic Thought has announced the winners in a national academic writing contest – the Douglas B. Rogers Conditions of a Free Society Essay Competition – that was open to all full-time undergraduate students studying in any field at any four-year college or university in the United States or Canada. The first place winner was Holden Diethorn, a senior economics major from Latrobe, whose essay was titled, "A Bastiat-Inspired Theory of Government Intervention." Second place winner was Nikita Chirkov of Trinity University, "Degrees of Statism." Third place winner was Danielle Charette of Swarthmore College, "The Great Fiction of the State: Re-fusing American Conservatives and Libertarians Behind Classical-Liberalism." The following students earned honorable mentions: Alexander Brown of Grove City College; Kerry Hunt of University of Notre Dame; Jonathan Miller of Carnegie Mellon University; Warren Mills of Troy University; and Kadeem Noray of Hillsdale College. The competition was designed to honor the memory of the late Douglas B. Rogers (Ph.D., George Mason University), a young scholar of great promise who died tragically, and to encourage scholarly discussion of individual freedom, limited constitutional government, free market economics and the philosophical and moral foundations of America and the West. Submissions addressed the following prompt by Frédéric Bastiat: "The state is the great fiction by which everyone endeavors to live at the expense of everyone else." The first place winner received $2,000 at an awards dinner and lecture by Dr. John Taylor of Stanford University, on March 20 at Saint Vincent. Second and third place winners received $1,000 and $500 respectively. Honorable mentions received $200.

It seemed like Washington just couldn't get enough of Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul when she first arrived 18 months ago.
The former Erie County clerk had just won a special congressional election the pundits said she would lose, and she qualified as an official Democratic darling by constantly chanting the "save Medicare" party line.
She was photographed with President Obama at the White House, shook his hand at the State of the Union speech and was chosen by House Democrats on several occasions as official spokeswoman.
But the realities of New York politics eventually trumped it all. When reapportionment map makers early last year drew her the most Republican district in the state, Hochul knew from the start that she faced a daunting challenge.
Now Hochul prepares to pack up and return home following her oh-so-close loss to Republican Chris Collins in November. She politely smiles when it's mentioned that Collins triumphed by a mere 4,000 votes while Obama lost the district by a double-digit percentage. But it's obvious that the razor-thin plurality only deepens the hurt, even if she shrugs her shoulders and pledges to carry on.
"I was at one of the diners in Canandaigua the other day that I went to so often during the campaign," she said. "The owner came over and told me he had voted only twice in his life, and this time he voted for me. That keeps you going."
If Hochul's political career ends with the expiration of her term Dec. 31 – and not all political observers are convinced it will – she probably will be remembered as a natural politician with the skills to be elected to almost anything. Except, that is, to a district in which Republicans outnumber Democrats by about 35,000 voters.
So, for now, she chalks up her "close but no cigar" effort almost as a victory. She said her campaign mantra of bipartisan cooperation and her refusal to adhere to every Democratic talking point registered with voters.
"I think it did fly, or else it wouldn't have been so close," she said of her message.
Even in her last days in the House, Hochul sticks to her contention that rabid partisanship lies at the root of government dysfunction. She hopes to vote for compromise addressing the "fiscal cliff" before Dec. 31, resurrecting the "independence" theme she emphasized on the campaign trail.
"It's part of who I am," she said. "I don't believe any party has all the right answers. And I represented a very conservative area, so I tried to represent them."
The congresswoman said she reflects her experience as a one-time staffer for Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who earned a similar reputation in Washington for reaching across the aisle. Issues such as the debt ceiling and fiscal cliff now worry corporate leaders, who delay expansion and investment, she said, in turn paralyzing the economy.
She still prefers the Moynihan way.
"I came back to Washington believing that's how it has to be done," she said. "There's been a lot of changes since then."
Collins criticized Hochul during the campaign for notching few legislative accomplishments. Hochul instead points to her Clothe a Homeless Hero Act that directs the Transportation Security Administration to partner with the Department of Veterans Affairs and local charities to distribute to needy veterans unclaimed clothing left at airport security checkpoints.
But she mostly emphasizes other ways a member of Congress can note accomplishments – especially, helping to preserve the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Base. Upon arrival in Washington, she said, she was told the base would be "gone." But she said she pressed the case with everyone from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta, eventually persuading him to visit the facility.
"All I can say is that we got a good result," she said.
Ditto, she said, for helping to electronically streamline the process used by farmers to employ migrant workers.
"I was astounded a year ago to find that process was very, very cumbersome; it literally took 18 pounds of paper," she said. "That's an example of using the office to pressure for reforms."
In reviewing her campaign against Collins, she said the melding of candidate and super PAC ads now misleads voters.
"We have no say over the message," she said of super PAC ads. "It has to be reformed. It causes people to have such a disdain for the process."
But some political observers wonder if her own "Buffalo China" ad may have backfired – even costing her her re-election. The ad, which claimed a Collins investment group fired Buffalo China workers after buying the company's assets, was judged false by a host of media outlets, including The Buffalo News.
She abruptly cut off discussion on the ad during a recent interview, however, declaring it "factual," adding that she had "no answer" on questions about it and that the "campaign is over."
"The facts were on our side, even if it was perceived differently by the media," she said. "That's fine."
For the moment, the outgoing congresswoman seems to entertain only a return to Hamburg. At 54, she said she has had discussions with some in the community about her future, and she said it is "appealing" to consider working in the private sector.
She also looks forward to spending time and traveling with her parents and husband, U.S. Attorney William C. Hochul Jr."I owe him big time," she cracked.
As she did throughout the campaign when assessing her underdog chances, Hochul said she feels grateful for the opportunity to serve in the House of Representatives – even if for less than a full term.
"It will always be a terrific source of pride in my life, and I'm thankful people were able to put their faith in me."

A majority of school board members who sit across the meeting table from Altoona Area Superintendent Dennis Murray won't be around the table with him Saturday night for his retirement dinner because they apparently weren't invited.
Skip Dry, Dick Lockard, President Ryan Beers and Cheryl Rupp said they have not received invitations for the event. Some members who were contacted indicated Sharon Bream and Elizabeth Chapman also did not receive an invitation.
However, Ron Johnston and Timothy Lucas said they did receive invitations for the event at The Casino at Lakemont Park about three to four weeks ago. Board members contacted believe board Vice President Maryann Joyce Bistline also was invited.
Those attending the dinner will pay $40 for a ticket. District spokeswoman Paula Foreman said the dinner is completely funded by ticket sales, and no taxpayer money will be used.
Murray, superintendent for 29 years, is retiring at the end of the school year. He has not returned to work since undergoing shoulder surgery Jan. 24 necessitated by a fall in a school hallway, the district reported.
Since late January, Murray has been the focus of questions surrounding raises given to six administrative staff members that might not have been voted on by the board.
Beers, the board president, questioned the raises in January and said he could not find minutes showing board approval.
School directors told solicitor David Andrews to investigate the matter.
Andrews, who is scheduled to interview Murray for his investigation next week, initially declined to say whether he was attending the dinner, but he later called the Mirror to say he received an invitation and turned it down.
"I take what I do very seriously. As an attorney, I'm always careful about any social event that reflects on the job I'm doing. Because of the current situation and investigation, it would not be proper for me to go to this event," he said.
The interview with Murray will cap Andrews' investigation of the salary increases that date back to 2007 and were apparently higher than amounts detailed in board-approved contracts.
"I don't want to give any appearance that the investigation results, however they turn out, would have been influenced by any social relationship," Andrews said. "I work with a lot of superintendents in a lot of districts. You get to know them well in many situations, but they understand my legal obligation and loyalty is to the board of school directors."
Murray has secured legal counsel of Pittsburgh-based attorney Efrem Grail, who said the investigation results will show Murray is owed an apology.
The state Auditor General's Office also is doing an audit of the district.
Lucas has attended dinners in the past and said they are usually coordinated by the community relations person and are attended by a mix of teachers, board members, administrators and family members.
"I haven't spoken to him [Murray] since before Christmas," said Lockard, who does not know the reason he wasn't invited.
Cheryl Rupp said she is not bothered by not receiving an invitation.
"It's his retirement dinner, and he is free to invite whoever he wants," she said.
Johnston was grateful for his invitation but declined.
"I was surprised that not all of the board members got invitations," he said.
"We all go or none of us go," Johnston said.
Retired assistant superintendent Frank Meloy is among the guests attending.
"I very much look forward to sending him off on a positive note. He is deserving of all the praise we can give him," he said.
"Altoona Area has never had a superintendent of his caliber nor will they ever have one like him again. For what he's done in curriculum - leading the district to numerous years ranked as an outperforming school district when a lot of students come from poor homes. The physical plan is next to none in the state. That all can be attributed to Dr. Murray's vision. And his ability to handle fiscal matters," he said, noting the district has gone more than two decades with few tax increases.

The Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation has announced the winners of the 2011 Lasker Award: Franz-Ulrich Hartl, M.D., and Arthur L. Horwich, M.D., for basic medical research, Tu Youyou for clinical research, and The Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health for public service. Lasker Awards, which carry an honorarium of $250,000 for each category, will be presented at a ceremony on Friday, September 23 in New York City.
Dr. Hartl of the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry and Dr. Horwich of Yale University School of Medicine will receive the 2011 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for discovering a cellular machine that controls how newly manufactured proteins fold into their biologically active structures.
Tu of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences will receive the 2011 Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for discovering artemisinin, the most effective treatment now available against malaria. The Clinical Center of the NIH will receive the Foundation's Public Service Award for serving as a model institution that has transformed scientific advances into innovative therapies and provided high-quality care to patients.
"The intellectual skill, vision, and clarity of thought displayed by this year's prizewinners extends the scientific community's understanding of how cells operate, led to new treatments that prevented millions of deaths, and has stemmed human suffering," notes Maria Freire, president of the Lasker Foundation. "Creativity, innovation, and determination have allowed them to pursue novel paths in medical research."
Additionally, the Mary Woodard Lasker Public Service Award will now be known as "The Lasker~Bloomberg Public Service Award" in honor of Michael R. Bloomberg, philanthropist and mayor of New York City. In naming Bloomberg the recipient of its 2009 Public Service Award, the Foundation cited his willingness to face down fierce opposition from vested interests to reduce tobacco use and promote healthy eating habits, helping to stop disease before it starts.
"In recognizing the NIH Clinical Center, the Foundation has highlighted the vital role that this research hospital has played in advancing the state of medical research over almost six decades and in training a generation of leaders in biomedical science," remarks Harvey V. Fineberg, chair of the Lasker Public Service Award Selection Committee.
The 2011 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award honors Dr. Hartl, 54, and Dr. Horwich, 60, for discovering that proteins cannot fold inside cells by themselves. They determined that a protein-dubbed chaperonin because of its assisting role acts as a cage-like folding "machine" that provides a safe place for proteins to fold, away from outside interference.
The folding process converts linear amino-acid chains into the 3-D forms that determine the molecules' function. Beginning in the late 1950s, scientists thought that newly synthesized proteins in cells folded spontaneously without energy input, as they can in the test tube.
In the late1980s, Drs. Hartl and Horwich discovered an apparatus that encases an unfolded protein and promotes folding by harnessing the energy of ATP. Once inside this machine, proteins can safely fold without sticking to one other.
Drs. Hartl and Horwich have shed light on how a previously unknown process involving folding machines isolates young proteins and helps them transform into mature molecules. Subsequent work suggested that protein folding activity may provide therapeutic benefit for such neurodegenerative illnesses as Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, Huntington disease, mad cow disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which occur when clumps of entangled misfolded proteins cause neurological symptoms.
The 2011 Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award honors Tu Youyou, 81, for discovering artemisinin. An artemisinin-based drug combination is now the standard regimen for malaria, and the WHO lists artemisinin and related agents in its catalog of "Essential Medicines."
Tu's seminal work on malaria began when the Chinese government launched a clandestine military project aimed at finding a remedy for the deadly scourge. The operation, dubbed Project 523, for the day it was announced—May 23, 1967—set out to battle chloroquine-resistant malaria.
In keeping with Chairman Mao Zedong's desire to "explore and further improve" the "great treasure house" of traditional Chinese medicine, Tu combed ancient texts and folk remedies for possible leads. She collected 2,000 recipes, which were then winnowed. By 1971, her team had made 380 extracts from 200 herbs.
The researchers then assessed whether these substances could clear the malaria-causing parasite from infected mice. One of the extracts from Qinghao—Artemisia annua L., or sweet wormwood—dramatically inhibited parasite growth in the animals. The results were not reproducible, so Tu once again scoured the literature for possible explanations.
Following clues, she and her team performed the extraction process at low temperatures. Tu's team also removed a harmful acidic portion of the extract that did not contribute to antimalarial activity and refined the preparation of the material in other ways. These innovations boosted potency and slashed toxicity.
At a March 1972 meeting of the Project 523 group's key participants, she reported that the neutral plant extract wiped out the malaria-causing agent in the blood of mice and monkeys. A pure substance was obtained later that year that proved effective in treating people with malaria.
The first English-language scientific literature citing successful clinical trials for artemisinin appeared in late 1979, but as was customary in China at the time, the authors were anonymous. The paper drew attention and in 1981, Tu appeared at an international meeting where she presented her findings on artemisinin and its chemical derivatives that form the foundation of today's life-saving therapies.
The Lasker~Bloomberg Public Service Award honors the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health for creating a research hospital where doctors develop innovative therapies and explore new ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide variety of diseases. Research scientists from 18 of the 27 NIH Institutes and Centers collaborate with the Center, which has treated more than 450,000 patients from 149 countries since it opened.

You may have acquired a few house plants over the Christmas season, or maybe Santa will bring a contribution soon. So, here are a few hints about the care of one of those additions to the family.
An amaryllis probably will come in a box with a small bag of dried potting soil and a pot. Sometimes the pot is attractive, but more often it is not something you will enjoy having around for some months.
So, look around and find a container of the right size. The kitchen is a good place to look for a cookie jar, small casserole dish, ice bucket or something similar.
If there is no drainage hole in the one you choose, use a cheap plastic one for planting then and sit this inside the more attractive vessel.
If you have potting soil in the garage or shed, use that instead of the stuff included, but be sure to warm it to room temperature first and give it a good soaking - preferably with rain water.
I have dipped water out of the rain barrels into cans, buckets and every large container that has been emptied for the winter, and I keep them on the back porch where they won't quite freeze. This water is so much better for indoor plants than tap water.
You don't want to use a large container because the bulb likes to be pot-bound.
About once and a half as wide as the bulb is best, which is probably 6-8 inches wide. Plant the bulb with one-third above the soil line. You do not need to add fertilizer.
You will need to have a support for the heavy flower heads eventually; I like to use a branching twig cut from a tree or shrub which can go in with the bulb. One year, I used a willow twig, which rooted and added some more green.
Or you can wait until the flower stem gets heavy and add a stake at that time.
Be sure the soil is damp when you plant the bulb, and then do not water again until you see some leaves begin to appear from the neck of the plant. Once growth has begun, you will need to water a couple of times a week because the top inch dries out.
Watering from the bottom is best. Just stand the pot in the sink or a bucket with water reaching about halfway up and give time for the water to be drawn up, but do not let it get soggy.
Once the flower(s) open, keep the plant out of direct sunlight and away from registers or radiators and you should have blossoms for a week or more.
When a flower dies, cut it off with its short stem so seeds do not form.
When all the flowers are spent, cut the flower stem back to about 3 inches from the bulb but do not touch the leaves. Pot and all can go outside in the spring in a sunny location, and bring it back inside before frost.
Cut off dead leaves and keep the plant in a cool, dim place such as an unheated basement until you see the green growth that tells you the cycle is beginning again.
An amaryllis is truly a gift that keeps on

"To have this type of love in my life at this time in my life, it means so much. Perspectives change, priorities change," she tells Lara Logan on CBS' Person to Person, airing Friday, Nov. 23 (10:00 p.m. ET).
But motherhood has been a welcomed change for Keys, 31, who tied the knot with rapper-producer Swizz Beatz, 34, in July 2010.
"I was such a different person seven years ago. Nothing would stop me from traipsing from here to London to L.A. back to London to L.A. in three days and not sleep. ... It was just that I thought that that was everything," she says. "But to have time to spend with my family and my son, it's like perspectives change a bit, it's like, 'Hold up! Let's not kill ourselves here.' "
Although balancing a family with her musical career has been an adjustment for the "Girl on Fire" singer, she excitedly speaks about the possibility of having more children.
When asked if she'd like to have "a lot more" children, Keys answered, "Definitely at least one more."

Computer Information Systems
Computer Information Systems (CIS)
Computer Information Systems is a study of the concepts, principles, and processes for two broad areas of activity within an organization: (1) acquisition, deployment, and management of information technology resources and services (the information systems function) and (2) development, operation, and evolution of infrastructure and systems for use in an organization.
Information Systems professionals must have sound technical knowledge of computers, communications and software, but they must also understand organizations and how they function. Thus, the Computer Information Systems major provides a combination of technical computer science coursework as well as several business courses. Such coursework emphasizes information technology and implementation, organization functions, and concepts and processes of organizational management.

Turnpike fiscal mess in need of private cleanup
January 15, 2013
So here's the fiscal situation regarding the Pennsylvania turnpike. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has approved a 10-percent increase in tolls for cash-paying customers....
Can we privatize the office of the president of the USA?
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree completely. First of all I find it ridiculous that tolls continue to go up. Secondly, buy a map, GPS, or heck, nowadays, use your phone. There are plenty of alternatives to the Turnpike. Refusal to utilize the turnpike and continue to pay these increased costs, I believe, would go a long way. Stop enabling their spending by utilizing the 'tools' that are so easily avoidable. The decision making and management, not just of this state, but of this country is in terrible disarray.

Curve manager Carlos Garcia said he doesn't have any lucky underwear.
"Nothing like that so far," he said with a chuckle.
Though, something is causing the streak, and it's probably key hitting like the Curve got on Thursday night.
Jarek Cunningham belted a solo homer as the Curve finished a three-game sweep of New Hampshire, downing the Fisher Cats, 7-4, before 3,182 at Peoples Natural Gas Field. The home run helped break a 4-4 tie as the Curve extended their winning streak to eight games, the longest since 2010 when the team won eight straight and later won the Eastern League title.
"At this point, we are playing great baseball," Garcia said. "We are really confident. We are executing the plays. The starting pitching has been outstanding. That's how you have the opportunity to win every night."
Cunningham's homer was his 14th this season, and at game end, he is tied for the league lead with former Curve outfielder Andrew Lambo, who was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Fact Box
Next stop
Tonight: Altoona at Bowie, 7 p.m.
Pitchers: Curve RHP Nick Kingham (1-0, 0.00) vs. Baysox LHP Jake Pettit (3-3, 5.20)
Record: 33-37
"It wasn't anything that was a goal of mine," Cunningham said of his power-hitting season. "But it was something I could get back to. I definitely wanted to do more than I did last year."
Timely hitting has played a big factor in the winning streak. Cunningham's homer comes one night after Alex Dickerson belted a two run shot to break a 2-2 tie as the Curve beat the Fisher Cats 5-2.
The previous night Adalberto Santos knocked in Drew Maggi in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Mix in starting pitching that has allowed just four earned runs in 35 2/3 innings,and the Curve are now just four games under .500 after being 12 under on June 11.
"It's really important," Garcia said of starting pitching. "When you are on the ropes, a lot of things have to happen. The starting pitching has to become consistent. The offense has to be consistent. The defense has to be outstanding, and we are doing all three of them."
Starter Casey Sadler pitched 6 innings on Thursday, giving up three runs and striking out three. Jhonathan Ramos (1-0) earned the win, and Luis Sanz picked up his sixth save this season.
Cunningham's timely homer came off of Matt Wright, who got the loss. The Curve then added some insurance, scoring two runs in the eighth.
"It's just a lot of fun," Cunningham said. "You can definitely tell the emotions are different in the clubhouse. Everyone is a little bit happier. You play a lot better baseball when you are not on edge the whole time."
Along with Cunningham's night, Gift Ngoepe went 2-for-3, scoring twice and driving in two runs.
The Curve will take the key hitting and all-around team effort to Bowie, where they will try to win two more to tie the franchise record of 10 straight wins.
"When they realize that where this is another league, ' I know I can do this. I know I can put good balls in there,'" Garcia said of players like Ngoepe who are spending their first season in Double-A. "Things start happening for them. Confidence, other than that, that's the only reason [the streak] started."
Game recap
Key player: LF Mel Rojas Jr went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and a double.
Key play: 2B Jarek Cunningham hit a solo home run to break up 4-4 tie in the bottom of the seventh.
Key stat: The Curve have now won eight straight, the longest winning streak since 2010.

Friday, October 4, 2013
A 17-year-old kid got mad at school administrators who took away his hat. He demanded they give it back to him and they refused. The administrator told the boy he would not get the hat back until the following day. He then stormed out of the office and down the hall. He arrived at the exit door and kicked it, shattering the glass. In fact, he kicked the door so hard his entire leg went through the glass. But he just opened the door and walked right through, leaving the school without reporting the incident.
The surveillance video was clear enough for administrators to identify the boy. They went to call him to the office the next day, but he was not at school. The administrator then called the boy's mother who agreed to bring him in to talk about the incident.
She said her son meant to kick the metal kick plate on the door but missed and his leg went through the glass. She said her boy did not know what to do so he just left and went home. He told his mother about what happened, but she too did not report the incident. Instead she said she kept her son home from school that day and they were contemplating withdrawing him from the school.
Officials at the school said they would not press charges if the boy paid restitution for the glass to be replaced. He agreed to do so and the case was closed.

We stayed for 6 days at the apartment. Good spot with nearby metro for different places. Host was on time and welcoming. The air conditioning was undersize for the hot weather and the master bedroom bed needs an upgrade. Apart from that, our stay was nice and the neighbourhood is nice and calm.
Very nice house, great location, excellent weather. Very good places to eat nearby. Christian told us that bedding was included but it was not. Booking through Wimdu was very confusing. Charges for water and electricity and Kur tax at the end of the holiday were very high.
So......an enjoyable holiday but expenses were unexpectedly high and booking was difficult.
We were there in may, and we liked it there. Not too crowded. The house and garden were nice. Inside a spartan furniture, but functional
A great place to stay in the summer.
Very friendly and nice host.
We had a great time at the Apartment, which was almost direktly at the Moldau. The Hosts were great and there was nothing bad about the Stay. The neighbourhood is quiet but still in walking distance to the center.
We will definetly come back :)
We spent a really good time in this flat, everything is close, beach, shops, bar..
A perfect accommodation in central Budapest on the pedestrian street with a small balcony .
Clean and nice with a bath and all conceivable needed during a stay.
Excellent location, very quiet. Lovely, helpful owner. Only minor criticism is we found the mattress a little too hard.
Great ! just great.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

About ASPIRE
The ASPIRE program is a Comprehensive Studies Program (formerly Educational Opportunity Program) which offers admission consideration to students who demonstrate the potential to be successful students, but who may require specialized and structured academic support services. The program is for Pennsylvania residents who are freshman applicants and plan to begin their studies in the fall semester of any given academic year.
Consideration for admission to the Berks ASPIRE program includes, but is not limited to, the following criteria:
- Must be a resident of Pennsylvania
- Must demonstrate high financial need: guidelines established by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and verified by Penn State
- Must be a student who shows academic promise and the desire to achieve a college degree
- Successful completion of the ASPIRE Application and FIF Form, and an interview with the ASPIRE Coordinator
Program Features and Services
The program familiarizes students with the campus and community resources. It offers specialized programming to address the educational, social, cultural, and personal needs of students and includes an intense tracking system of the student's academic progress. Students are held accountable and rewarded through a quality educational experience.
Summer Bridge Program
Lion's Path, our two-week summer bridge program, is designed specifically for the ASPIRE students to help acclimate them to the campus and prepare them for the academic demands of college before they begin the Fall semester. During Lion's Path, students will participate in preparatory Math and English courses, academic skills workshops, and self-awareness and skills assessments. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the support services the campus offers, meet faculty and staff, and engage with peers and mentors in team-building and leadership activities.
ASPIRE Courses
ASPIRE students enroll in a student success course during their first year (2.0 credit course in the Fall and a 1.0 credit course in the Spring). This course is designed to provide support to students during their transition from high school to college. The course will help new students gain control over their college experience by developing effective educational strategies, greater self- awareness, and skills built upon accurate knowledge of the university's programs, policies and services. This course is taught by the ASPIRE Coordinator.
Academic Progress
The ASPIRE Coordinator keeps in contact with each student's professors to monitor the student's academic progress, provide strategies for academic success, and facilitate increased communication between the student and professor.
Chi Alpha Epsilon (XAE) National Honor Society
ASPIRE students have the opportunity to join Chi Alpha Epsilon, a national honor society created specifically for students involved in Academic Development Programs within their university. Aspire students must earn a 3.0 cumulative GPA for two consecutive semesters to be eligible, and must continue to strive for academic excellence.
For more information about Chi Alpha Epsilon visit: www.xaehonor.org

McNair Research Journal
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the Westminster College McNair Research Journal, in which we celebrate the intellectual achievements of scholars selected from our first ten summer research intensives: 2004 - 2013. The McNair Scholars Program is a federally funded initiative that encourages low-income first generation and underrepresented students to pursue doctoral studies. It is an elite, national graduate school preparation program. Ultimately, we hope our scholars will enter the professoriate, changing the face of higher education. The program is a living memorial to Dr. Ronald E. McNair, an African American physicist and astronaut who died in the Challenger explosion over twenty-five years ago.
The Westminster McNair Scholars Program is the first McNair program in the State of Utah; we serve students from Salt Lake Community College and the University of Utah, as well as Westminster College. We are honored to be one of 158 McNair programs nationwide that support undergraduate scholars as they pursue their dreams. Westminster McNair Scholars are selected after completing a competitive application process; each June and July a group of 16 scholars hones their research skills and delves deeply into topics from a variety of disciplines under the guidance of their faculty mentors. They honor the memory of Dr. McNair by their original, sophisticated exploration of topics ranging from the visual arts in the 1950's and 60's to ethno-linguistic fragmentations and Africa's underdevelopment to students' perceptions of professors as affected by race.
It is with great pride that we present the work of our scholars: they have overcome many barriers to achieve academic success. We are inspired by both the rigor of their research and the depth of their character. We hope you enjoy reading this journal.

3 Types of Wall Street Protesters Hurting Their Own Cause
It took me awhile to figure out what was bothering me about you. It certainly wasn't because I'm indifferent to the recession. In the last three years, I've had my ass kicked a lot harder than most of my friends, what with losing my house, my car, and my savings, so yeah, protest seems appropriate. Especially, as we enter a third year with no sign of progress.
I shouldn't say no progress. I hear stock in canned goods and shotguns has gone way up.
But something didn't sit right. Maybe it was because I didn't understand who you were, what you specifically wanted, or why you chose Wall Street as the focus of your rage. And I wanted to know these things, because during financial crises things get scary. People join unfortunate movements, races turn against each other for jobs and scapegoats get ... scapegoated.
My discomfort was a source of constant irritation to my friends who questioned if I'd secretly gone fascist or at least Republican, but as I asked them to explain the point of the movement each emphasized different things. This amorphous protest without a leader or focused agenda had become an inkblot test for everyone's personal social/political gripes.
I see a picture of a giant puppy being sodomized by industrialists.
Why so vague when your protest could have some neat disciplined talking points? Like, say five talking points. Five talking points that could be expressed in about two minutes. Y'know, like over a million people have already seen in that video by former labor secretary Robert Reich:
Personally, I find that message really compelling, and based on your signs I'm guessing you do too, but I don't hear it getting through. Probably because for every well-intentioned, well-informed, pragmatically-minded protester like this one or like this one there is a patchouli-laced, economically-retarded jackass hogging the media attention. (In the rare cases when the media decides to cover you at all).
And that's a shame because the spokespeople for the status quo want to destroy you. They will say anything they can to dismantle and discredit this protest. And you are helping them. Why not let the best and brightest move to the front. And while you're at it, maybe let these three other kinds of people just, y'know, clap and hand out fliers because they're distracting from the message.
Protesters Who Think the Problem is Simply Corporate Greed
One of the best things about working in New York City is that I get to go down to the protests and hear countless demonstrators eloquently explaining the abuses of corporate greed and showing how it has tainted a system at the expense of honest hard-working families - or at least that's what I hear as I have my liberal, pinko wet dreams while snoozing on the downtown 2. Unfortunately, what I actually hear is a lot of people talking about "fuckin' Corporate America, man," and that's just about it. That is not the refrain of a successful protest. That's why you never saw this:
"I have . . . had it up to here with these crackedy ass crackers."
Let's keep this a movement about change, not blame. Marching in the streets and calling for retribution from those shadow figures you believe caused the recession like it was a murder is better rhetoric for a lynch mob than people seeking to restructure society. Not to mention that the "fuck Corporate America rallying" cry is easy fodder for Conservatives to say simply, and convincingly, this is a group that hates capitalism.
Hating capitalism is not on the table. This is America. Capitalism defines our history, our economy, and our national psyche And the purpose of this protest cannot be a naive attempt to change the very souls of American businesspeople. To punish businesses for their greed. It's the wrong message and counterproductive. Call me jaded, but I thought we all just took it for granted that businesses are amoral creatures driven by profit. Being enraged at Corporate America for being greedy is like reading Cracked.com and being enraged by its use of the list format. This is who we are.
In the America I thought I lived in, we expect business-people to be driven by profit, but we rely on our Government to protect us from those abuses. We expect Government to set laws to govern what a business can and cannot do. Government can establish a minimum wage, ban child labor, and tax imports. Government can enact rules against predatory lending or . .. anything if it has the support of the people. And we expect our government to keep us safe from this cold unfeeling beast we call capitalism with things like food stamps, Medicaid, unemployment benefits, and social security.
Isn't that the relationship we've all agreed on because it makes sense?
If you visited the zoo and your whole family were mauled to death by several ferocious tigers, would you march to Indonesia, protesting the insatiable blood-lust of tigers? Would you seek to have tigers removed from the zoo even though they're the biggest attraction, selling the most tickets and keeping everyone in business? Or would you just, y'know, be furious because the Zoo forgot to lock the cages? I thought we all knew tigers were dangerous and we agreed we'd keep them around anyway because we had competent zookeepers and big steel bars.
Let this be a protest which defines and demands a structure from our government to protect us from the wild animal of capitalism, because you'll never make a tiger a vegetarian no matter how many of you take a dump in Zucotti Park.
"Tofu? Sure, I'd love some. Just open the cage."
