The State's Interest in Retribution
Jeffrie G. Murphy
Arizona State University College of Law
Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues, Vol. 5, p. 283, 1994
Can liberals consistently be retributivists? Can a theory of punishment that approves the use of state power, not in pursuit of the social goals of crime control and harm prevention, but rather in pursuit of a purely moral objective be consistent with the liberal theory of the state that values rights and liberty as the primary political values? This article addresses these fundamental concerns by critiquing the arguments of Feinberg, Herbert Morris's freeriding criminal conduct theory, and Michael Moore's arguments. To answer these questions, it explores a version of liberalism coined communitarian liberalism, which posits that the liberal state exists not simply to protect rights by punishing their violation but also to foster a social climate in which human rights are respected and in which autonomy is a realistic option for all citizens. This allows for positive assistance to the poor, but prohibits negative proscription by the criminal law on completely independent acts. This argument, however, is ultimately rejected in favor of concluding that those versions of retributivism that are fairly weak - representing either side-constraints or secondary aims of punishment - are probably compatible with liberalism. The robust and most emotionally compelling versions of retributivism, however, probably are not.

Seeger's grandson, Kitama Cahill-Jackson said his grandfather died at New York Presbyterian Hospital, where he'd been for six days. "He was chopping wood 10 days ago," he said.
Seeger – with his a lanky frame, banjo and full white beard – was an iconic figure in folk music. He performed with the great minstrel Woody Guthrie in his younger days and marched with Occupy Wall Street protesters in his 90s, leaning on two canes.
He wrote or co-wrote "If I Had a Hammer," "Turn, Turn, Turn," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine." He lent his voice against Hitler and nuclear power. A cheerful warrior, he typically delivered his broadsides with an affable air and his banjo strapped on.
"Be wary of great leaders," he told the Associated Press two days after a 2011 Manhattan Occupy march. "Hope that there are many, many small leaders."
Popularized 'We Shall Overcome'With The Weavers, a quartet organized in 1948, Seeger helped set the stage for a national folk revival. The group – Seeger, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman – churned out hit recordings of "Goodnight Irene," "Tzena, Tzena" and "On Top of Old Smokey."
Seeger also was credited with popularizing "We Shall Overcome," which he printed in his publication People's Song, in 1948. He later said his only contribution to the anthem of the civil rights movement was changing the second word from "will" to "shall," which he said "opens up the mouth better."
"Every kid who ever sat around a campfire singing an old song is indebted in some way to Pete Seeger," Arlo Guthrie once said.
Pete and Toshi Seeger were married July 20, 1943. The couple built their cabin in Beacon, N.Y., after World War II and stayed on the high spot of land by the Hudson River for the rest of their lives together. The couple raised three children. Toshi Seeger died in July at age 91.
His musical career was always braided tightly with his political activism, in which he advocated for causes ranging from civil rights to the cleanup of his beloved Hudson River. Seeger said he left the Communist Party around 1950 and later renounced it. But the association dogged him for years.
On Tuesday, President Obama released a statement about Seeger's passing.
"Once called 'America's tuning fork,' Pete Seeger believed deeply in the power of song. But more importantly, he believed in the power of community – to stand up for what's right, speak out against what's wrong, and move this country closer to the America he knew we could be. Over the years, Pete used his voice – and his hammer – to strike blows for worker's rights and civil rights; world peace and environmental conservation. And he always invited us to sing along. For reminding us where we come from and showing us where we need to go, we will always be grateful to Pete Seeger. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Pete's family and all those who loved him."

If there's any overriding theme for ¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! — Green Day's monumental forthcoming trio of albums—that's it: the weird phantom zone between having a grownup's responsibilities and wanting to spend your whole life getting your teenage rocks off. The 36-song set is heavily loaded with some of the most adolescent, loud, fast and obscene pop-punk that Green Day have churned out since their 1994 breakthrough album, Dookie, or even their earlier indie-punk releases, like 39/Smooth and Kerplunk.
But nestled among the tracks are some of Billie Joe Armstrong's most mature songs to date, the reflections of a 40-year-old man who ignited the mid-Nineties pop-punk revolution, forged the sacrificial bridge between punk and the classic rock opera in 2004, penned some definitive anthems of the American Apocalypse, acted in a hit Broadway show and sold millions of records. Now, as then, he continues to record and perform with his two best pals from his teenage years, and remains married to the girl he fell in love with when he was 19.
"I just think, Holy shit, I've been documenting my feelings in songs since I was 16 years old," he says. "And I've gone through 20-something years just documenting how some of those feelings have changed and how you evolve from a kid to an ex-kid, to a man-child, or whatever you want to call it. You realize how juvenile, maybe, some of your feelings still are. And sometimes you see how you evolved as an individual."
But fear not! This is still very much the same guy who named his band's major-label debut album after excrement. And he says Green Day had a blast all the way through the making of ¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!. "It was a good feeling the whole time," Armstrong says. "There was never any feeling of pressure. No bad feelings. There was no struggle to make it."
Armstrong is kicking back in a lounge at a massive rehearsal studio outside L.A. He's dressed in standard-issue street-punk gear: red Converse, black jeans and a T-shirt. His hair is messy, Beatles-esque and, following another one of his weird blond periods, once again jet black. Out in the hallway, bassist Mike Dirnt is trying on a succession of slim-cut, boldly striped trousers for a photo shoot to promote the new discs, pulling the garments from gigantic wardrobe cases that clutter the corridor. He's still in his own blond hair phase. When I commend him and the band on coughing up 36 killer tracks, with nary a stinker or dog in the bunch, he shrugs and says, "Well, it wasn't that hard. We wrote over 80 tunes for this thing!"
¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! were the result of a tremendous burst of creativity on Green Day's part. It was fueled by several things. For one, they made a firm decision to abandon the narrative, rock opera format of their two previous studio releases, American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. Armstrong found it liberating not to have to write songs to fit a plot or conceptual brief. "We definitely wanted to get away from that," he says. "Closing the chapter on 21st Century Breakdown and that era gave me the freedom as a songwriter just to start getting into the fun of playing music again and changing things up. If anything, there was a conscious effort to get back to basics and just treat each song individually."
Armstrong also had plenty of time and inspiration to write new songs while he was appearing in the Broadway production of American Idiot in 2010 and 2011. "Being in New York for that long a period of time," he says, "I fell into this routine where I would get up in the morning, have my coffee, go for a walk, come back to my apartment, write a song and then do the show at night. I set up a small studio in my apartment where I could get my ideas down. Then I'd shoot over to the theater and act like a madman onstage. And being around all the actors, surrounded by all that constant creativity, I just couldn't help it; I started writing songs."
Back at their headquarters in Oakland, California, Green Day started arranging and structuring the new material. "Next thing we knew, we ended up with something like 30 songs. So it was like, 'What do we do with this? Is this a double album? Are we doing Sandinista! here?'" Armstrong says, referring to the Clash's 1980 triple-album. "So we said, 'Let's do three discs and release one record at a time, and wouldn't it be funny if we called it ¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!? It's almost like Volume One, Volume Two…in the way of Van Halen I and II or Led Zeppelin I and II. Only we have three of them, and we put one of our faces on each album's cover."
The joke gets an extra lift from the fact that Green Day drummer Tré Cool adorns the cover of ¡Tré!. Billie is Uno, as befits Green Day's main songwriter, lead singer and guitarist. But one isn't sure how Dirnt feels about being stuck with Numero Dos. "At first it started out as a joke," says Armstrong, who admits to being the one who came up with the names and the whole idea in the first place. "But the more we talked about it, the more we said, 'You know, it's pretty catchy.'"
The band, its label and its management also came up with the idea to release the three discs in succession rather than put them out all at once or as a set. ¡Uno! comes out September 25, ¡Dos! hits on November 13, and ¡Tré! will be released on January 15, 2013.
It's an unconventional move, but one that's perhaps more attuned to the short-attention-span digital era. Even at the height of the record biz, double and triple albums were a tough sell. And with so much attention on single song downloads these days, even a single-album release is risky business. But then again, the idea of a punk band doing a rock opera seemed pretty crazy back in 2004.
Each of the new discs has its own stylistic character, more or less. Classic Green Day predominates on ¡Uno! whereas ¡Dos! is more in the raunchy garage-rock mode of Green Day's 2008 side project, the Foxboro Hot Tubs. "It's a real Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas kind of death-trip vibe," Armstrong says, "like a party out of control." ¡Tré! is more of a mixed bag. It contains some of the set's more reflective songs and some of the most epic arrangements, complete with string and brass orchestrations.
Armstrong says that the pop-punk material is what came pouring out of him first. "Just because I've been doing it for so long and I love that kind of music," he says. "It's just in my DNA at this point. On the last record I veered away from it so much, to the point where I sort of drove myself crazy. But the last record did have a song called 'Murder City,' which is a straight-up Green Day punk-rock song, and it ended up becoming my favorite song on that album.
"So with the new stuff, that kind of thing just came naturally. I think that the first songs that were written were 'Stay the Night,' 'Nuclear Family' and 'Carpe Diem.' So there was this power-pop thing happening. Then it became, like, 'Guys, no ballads. Let's just write rock and roll!' But all of a sudden 'Oh Love' came out. It's not really a ballad, but it's not a power-pop song either. It's powerful, but it's slower and it's got a groove to it. It's kind of something we haven't really done before, and at the same time it's pretty epic."
As it turns out, the song makes a great 12th-track album closer for ¡Uno! — a graceful counterpoint to the pop-punk mayhem that has come before and a musical marker that points the way to some of the material on the two subsequent discs. To complement the stylistic thrust of ¡Uno!, Armstrong also had a clear sense of the guitar sound he wanted and the overall production approach he wished to pursue.
"I really wanted the record to be a classic Green Day sound," he says, "but I also wanted to introduce new elements of different guitar sounds—cleaner tones—and to mic the room so you can get the real power of the speakers moving the air to give it more of a live sound. It's a bit of an AC/DC type of guitar sound, where it's really powerful but what you're actually listening to is a clean guitar tone."
This live-in-the-studio approach was also facilitated by the fact that Green Day rehearsed the songs at the same facility in which they recorded them—their own place, Jingletown, in Oakland. It was formerly called Studio 880 but has since been endowed with a new name and new Neve mixing console. For the sessions, the band also drafted its longtime live guitarist, Jason White.
"He was in the room with us the whole time," Armstrong says. "He's been playing with us for over 10 years now, so we figured, 'Let's bring him in and he'll be the fourth member. He can be Cuatro.' So for all the rhythm tracks, he's in the right speaker and I'm in the left. He added a really great element because he's got a really smooth kind of style to him, whereas I'm more percussive. He matches what I'm doing but adds a vibe to it."
Longtime Green Day producer Rob Cavallo also encouraged the band's live-in-the-studio approach to the recordings. "When Rob came and watched us jam," Armstrong recounts, "he was, like, 'This is what the record should sound like. It should sound like you guys jamming in this room.'"
Cavallo was Green Day's producer from Dookie onward (although his involvement in 2000's Warning was minimal). But he fell away from the fold for 21st Century Breakdown, which was produced by Butch Vig. So how did Cavallo get back in the picture?
"By apologizing," Armstrong deadpans before dissolving into laughter. "He just wanted to mend things. We had sort of a strained relationship after American Idiot. I don't really know why. I don't think he even knows why. It just turned ugly for a while. But we started having talks together again, and he said how much he really wanted to do the record. I started getting into playing him demos again, and he started champing at the bit to produce. So it was just a slow process of rebuilding the friendship and the relationship again."
One other thing helped put Green Day back in pop-punk mode: they started playing songs from their first two albums, 39/Smooth and Kerplunk, while touring for 21st Century Breakdown.
"On our last tour, we were playing a lot of old songs, like 'Who Wrote Holden Caufield?' and 'One for the Razorbacks,'" Armstrong says. "It was really fun. And sometimes when you're in the middle of playing the song you start to realize, Oh, god, I remember who this song was about. I remember what I was feeling at that time. How is it relevant to me now? You almost get lost in all that, and you're performing it in front of 10,000 people or whatever. It's a trip going back like that. I think we were reluctant to do that before the last tour, but then we just started bringing those songs in. We've always wanted to write songs that we could play 20 years later, like the Rolling Stones are able to play '19th Nervous Breakdown' and stuff like that."
¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! are certainly awash in songs that reference Armstrong's punk-rock past as a kid growing up in Berkeley, California's highly politicized, hardcore Gilman Street scene. The new albums' overall mood of adolescent pop abandon is tempered by a wistful note of nostalgia that creeps into many tunes, some of the most frankly autobiographical songs that Armstrong has ever written.
"X-Kid" from ¡Tré! deals with the suicide of a close friend of Armstrong's. "I don't really want to get into it," he says. "It's too heavy." And "Carpe Diem" from ¡Uno! is also haunted by intimations of mortality. That song's about living in the moment," he says. "I think the older you get, you have to appreciate your time on this planet."
On a more cheerful note, "Sweet 16" is an unabashed love song to Armstrong's wife, Adrienne, written as a gift to her for the couple's 16th anniversary. They met during an early Green Day van tour while she was studying sociology at the University of Minnesota. At the time Armstrong was 18 and she was 20. It was pretty much love at first sight, although it took them both a little while to realize it fully.
"'Sweet 16' is about being in a relationship for a really long time," Armstrong says. "The first verse is about my relationship with Adrienne when we first met. And the second verse is more about our relationship now. And just how time passes and just kinda, 'Wow, we're still here and still together.'"
Perhaps more surprising is the song "Amanda" on ¡Tré!. It references Armstrong's brief relationship with a militant feminist punk-rock girl, actually named Amanda, during the Gilman Street days. She broke up with him and has haunted Green Day's body of work ever since, although usually in veiled or fictionalized form. She was the inspiration for Green Day's mega-hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" and also formed the basis for the character Whatsername in 21st Century Breakdown.
"Yeah, she's in that," Armstrong acknowledges, "and all the way back to a song like 'Stuart and the Avenue' [from Insomniac]. She's an old friend who goes back to a long time ago—kind of like a recurring dream. She's shown up in different songs here and there that are bitter or bittersweet. I wrote the song 'Amanda' from a perspective of, 'Okay, now that we're grown-ups…' She's got her kids and her husband, and I've got my family. And it's just asking the question, 'How are you? What's life like for you? This is what I'm up to.' We had a chance to reconnect and talk a little bit. And that was that."

BERKELEY SPRINGS - In December, Morgan County commissioners will consider allocation of funds to nonprofits and other groups requesting money from the hotel/motel tax. However, Jeanne Mozier of Morgan Arts Council asked for an allocation this past week.
Mozier said, "We asked for $15,000 in June. We needed $15,000. But we didn't get that. I'm asking for $5,000 now."
She said the funding was for the Concerts in the Park summer series, MAC's most popular activity. Total expenses for the series were $16,000. Paperwork she submitted stated a $10,000 shortfall despite donations and other income.
"From attendance estimates and assessments we did, it's appealing to locals and tourists," said Mozier. "The gallery shows are the second-favorite activity. We work hard to get outstanding groups from all over who play different types of music at the concerts."
Close said he agreed with Mozier to a point that the county should help MAC in supporting the concert series or other activities. He'd talked to business owners who saw the advantage of the concerts bringing in tourists and locals to their businesses. But he said other businesses host their own concerts, so he wanted to discuss it in the public commission meeting.
"The MAC concerts are great," said Close. "I go to some. But with the government supporting MAC, then could the government be in competition with the private sector? Could you address that, Jeanne? Have you had this debate before?"
"Yes, I have," she said. "MAC is committed to supporting artists. We pay these bands to come here and perform. They're not the same groups you'll see at Ambrae House, Troubadour or Hillbilly Heaven who play for a few dollars and free drinks. And families want to come to our shows (early) on Saturday evenings that won't go to those other settings."
She said it brings people to town for the early concert, and they stay in town to eat at local restaurants or attend concerts later in the evening at the other establishments which book bands.
"We let loose 300 or 400 people on the street by 7 p.m.," she said.
"That's the point I wanted you to make," said Close. "It's not a competition with the other business owners. This is a good use of the hotel/motel tax."
Mozier said she understood the philosophical position of government supporting one and not the other entity. But, she said, "if the government wasn't operating Cacapon State Park, we wouldn't have a tourism industry. And we will promote any other business' concerts or events. We have a weekly email message to 3,000 people and 12,000 a week are on our Berkeley Springs Facebook page. It's all free. All they have to do is email us."
Groups didn't get full amounts in June because of budget issues. Commissioner Stacy Dugan said the commission needed to stick by its policy of allocations in June and December only. Other groups would be turning in requests in coming weeks. And December is the next budget review.
Mozier said she understood that, but wanted to know if she could count on the $5,000 in December.
"I don't see a problem with it," said Commissioner Brenda Hutchinson, "but we should stick to our schedule in fairness to everyone."
The commissioners postponed their decision until December.

GREENFORD- The Big Reach Center of Hope is conducting a shoe collection drive during the month of September to raise funds for its outreach programs while benefiting small business ventures in developing countries.
Donated shoes will be sent to Haiti, Togo and Guatemala where villagers will be taught how to repurpose them to help start micro-enterprises, according to Lisa Wallace, the facility's marketing and donations coordinator. Shoes will be collected in any type, size or condition and will be used to teach villagers how to repair and resell or to breakdown and make new.
The Center of Hope will be paid per pound for the shoes, with the goal of 7,500 pairs netting approximately $3,000, Wallace said. She also noted that the materials used to manufacture a pair of shoes are created from chemical compounds that will create health hazards if left to disintegrate openly or in landfills, and by donating old shoes to the Center of Hope, people are helping keep the materials out of landfills in addition to assisting impoverished citizens in developing nations start, maintain and grow an enterprise to feed, clothe and house their families.
"It's a win-win for everyone," she explained. "This campaign will raise funds that directly benefit our organization and be used for help feed the hungry in our community. It's a win for the landfills, which see 300 million pairs of shoes each year, it's a win for people cleaning out their closets and it helps those in third world countries."
The shoe drive will be held through funds2orgs.com. Donations may be made at the Center of Hope from 8 a.m. to noon on Sundays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays or by appointment.
Individuals, businesses and organizations that would like to participate in the shoe drive or host a collection box should contact Wallace at 330-533-3278 Ext. 502 or email email@example.com.

It started Oct. 11, when Jared Hunt, a reporter for the Charleston Daily Mail, wrote an article that ran under the headline, "Md. casino vote could cost W.Va. $1 billion in revenue."
The projected loss, which would take place over 10 years, is based on a study by the Sage Policy Group, a consulting firm commissioned by a political action committee that supports passage of Maryland's Question 7. The facility at risk of losing the revenue is West Virginia's Charles Town Races and Slots.
Hunt's article received considerable attention in West Virginia and was widely shared on Twitter. Hoppy Kercheval, host of West Virginia MetroNews Talkline, gave the report even greater notoriety when he invited Hunt to discuss the article on his statewide radio show.
Article Photos
Soon others were picking up on the story. Tom Miller, longtime writer of the "Under the Dome" column, which appears in numerous newspapers, devoted part of a column to the same study on which Hunt had reported. But, Miller's summary portrayed an even more horrific scenario.
Instead of a loss of $1 billion over 10 years, Miller wrote that the loss would be as much as $1.5 billion. And more shocking, instead of taking place over ten years, Miller said the loss would be annual - an almost catastrophic outcome, since $1.5 billion represents 2 percent of the state's annual gross domestic product.
At this point, somebody's spidey-sense should have been tingling, indicating something was amiss. Not only is 2 percent of GDP a big number, but last year total revenue for Charles Town Races and Slots was only $570 million. How could the casino lose in revenue three times more than it takes in? But, concerns were allayed when Miller's column was promoted on Twitter by former West Virginia economics professor, Tom Witt.
With an endorsement like that, it just had to be true! Didn't it? Well, not really.
It turns out that the study upon which the reports were based does not say that West Virginia would lose $1.5 billion per year. It doesn't even say we would lose $1 billion over 10 years.
The study projects that, in the event Maryland passes its referendum, Charles Town Races and Slots will lose $65 million per year, which is fully one-third less than Jared Hunt reported and less than one-twentieth the amount Miller's column claimed.
Now, don't misunderstand, $65 million isn't chicken feed. It represents an 11 percent drop in revenue for Charles Town Races and Slots and might cost some jobs. But, it would not be catastrophic and would not by any stretch of the imagination put the casino's survival at risk, as some readers of Hunt's and Miller's columns feared.
So the question is, how did prominent and respected people such as Hunt, Kercheval, Miller and Witt get it wrong and, in Miller's and Witt's case, spectacularly wrong?
It's not as though the error had gone completely unnoticed. Bryan Clark, a reporter for The Spirit of Jefferson, a weekly newspaper in Jefferson County, which is home to Charles Town Races and Slots, noticed the mistake in Jared Hunt's original article and, in response, wrote a front-page story titled, "Reports of $1B casino loss wrong." His story appeared even before Miller's column.
Clark, who had read the study on which Hunt's original story was based and identified the mistake, was also aware that, before contradicting one of the state's leading newspapers, he had better be on solid ground. So, he did the logical thing. He called the study's author.
Anirban Basu, a principal at Sage Policy Group, confirmed that the projected loss to Charles Town Races and Slots would be between $60 million and $65 million per year. The $1.5 billion figure was mentioned in the report, but not as the amount Charles Town would lose if the referendum passes. $1.5 billion is the amount the study predicted Maryland residents would spend in Charles Town over a decade if the referendum is not passed.
However, under no circumstances would the creation of casinos in Maryland cause Charles Town to lose all of that business. Basu's team calculated that it would lose half or less, hence the $60 million to $65 million per year figure.
There are many morals to this story having to do with the importance of thoroughness and attention to detail in reporting as well as the need for the public to practice critical reading skills. But, one lesson that should not be lost is the importance of quantitative literacy.
The error in Hunt's original story should have been suspected by anyone familiar with Charles Town Races and Slots' business. And the error made by Miller should have been obvious to anyone even vaguely familiar with the size of the state's economy.
Every day politicians, companies, organizations and their advocates hype stories that form a quantitative perspective and in the total scheme of things are nearly inconsequential - the imagined problem of pervasive voter fraud, for instance. Meanwhile, other stories that are of great consequence, but in no one's interest to publicize, such as the $600 million windfall in annual federal subsidies that West Virginia would realize by fully expanding Medicaid to uninsured residents, receive little or no attention.
The sad part is that often the truth and weight of issues are right in front of us. But, because they're expressed numerically, we miss them altogether.

Thursday, August 15, 2013
My name is Sy Rosenthal and after retiring from a major engineering/construction firm in New Jersey in 1999, I moved to Mount Pleasant. With time on my hands and only being 60 years old, I started to look for some part-time employment to stay active. After several years I settled into a position as a barista at the Starbucks in the Belle Hall Shopping Center.
I was "Sy the Coffee Guy" and tried to dispense good cheer, laughter and a general good time to customers, as they purchased their daily "joe" and maybe a pound or two of coffee. It has been several years since I fully retired but I still see many of my former customers who all became my friends and to this day, we still shake hands or hug as long-lost friends usually do.
The captain
Captain Stephen Koehler is a native of San Diego, Calif., who graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in physics and was commissioned through the Naval ROTC program at the university. He was designated a naval aviator in 1989 and received his flight training in the F-14 Tomcat in 1990.
As a "top gun" jet fighter pilot he assumed operational, administrative, training and maintenance assignments in operations Desert Storm, Deliberate Guard and Southern Watch aboard the supercarriers USS Nimitz and USS John F. Kennedy.
After graduating from the Naval War College with a Master's Degree in National Security and Strategic Studies and after attending the Armed Forces Staff College he became an executive officer of various fighter squadrons including the Fighter Squadron aboard the supercarrier USS George Washington during Operation Iraqi Freedom. After logging more than 500 arrested landings and 3,600 hours in various Naval Aircraft, he was assigned in 2005 as an Assistant/Naval Aide to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy before being selected to undergo nuclear power training.
The barista and the captain
In 2006, I was "Sy the Coffee Guy" at the Belle Hall Starbucks when a series of men arrived at the store for morning coffee. They arrived in their brown leather jackets with the fancy emblems on the front of the jackets and I was looking at a group of Tom Cruises in the movie "Top Gun." Apparently the apartment complex to the rear of the Belle Hall Shopping Center had a large contingent of navy personnel who were training at the Naval Nuclear Power School in Goose Creek; this includes enlisted men and officers who will be assigned to nuclear submarines and supercarriers.
I became friends with many of them and that included all these naval aviators who were destined to become executive officers on America's Nimitz-class supercarriers that are the largest and most powerful warships in the world and serve this country as a powerful instrument protecting American interests and preserving peace with an awesome military presence. It is one thing to be a naval aviator and another thing to be second in command of a supercarrier, where your responsibilities dwarf your abilities as a jet fighter pilot.
Of all these aviators, Captain Stephen Koehler and I became fast friends, even if it was only over an occasional coffee in the morning and in the afternoon. I invited him over to my house for dinner and on one occasion, met his wife, children and dog, who came down from Virginia Beach to visit him in Mount Pleasant.
Eventually Captain Koehler graduated from the Nuclear Power School and became the Executive Officer of the USS Carl Vinson from 2007 to 2009. He then commanded the USS Bataan — the flagship of a marine expeditionary task force from 2010 to 2011 and then became the Chief of Staff to the Commander, Joint Task Force—Horn of Africa in Djibouti from 2012 to the beginning of 2013.
I left Starbucks sometime after Captain Koehler graduated from the Nuclear Power School, but he kept in touch with me at Christmas with a card and a summary of family activities and his military assignments during the year. I also received official navy announcements of his above assignments. This year, however, I received something special from the Navy. It was an invitation to a Change of Command Ceremony at the Naval Station Norfolk, Va. The change in command ceremony is not prescribed specifically by U.S. Navy Regulations but is an honored product of the rich heritage of naval tradition; it is very special ceremony and to be invited to such a ceremony is indeed a special honor.
The ceremony
On July 19, Marlene and I arrived at the Naval Station Norfolk around 9 a.m. for the 10 a.m. ceremony. My guest pass ushered me through the gates with a show of our IDs and my VIP parking pass permitted me to park right next to the pier where the ceremony would take place. An officer met us at the car with a golf cart and drove us down the pier, which was lined with dress white enlisted sailors — quite a sight.
When we arrived at the stairway to the ship, an officer in his dress whites came down the stairs and escorted Marlene up the stairs and took us to our reserved seats where the ceremony was going to take place.
The cavernous level right below the flight deck is an awesome space designed to stage all the aircraft prior to raising them to the flight deck and it is huge — it would not surprise me if we could fit the entire Yorktown on this level of the ship alone. We walked into this area and the first thing we saw were some 3,000 sailors and officers in their dress whites standing in an ordered and disciplined manner — truly a remarkable sight. We are seated among many of his former jet fighter pilot friends and surrounded by current and retired vice admirals, 10 of the 15 former captains of the ship and a host of other naval and military officers; if I am not mistaken, I was the only barista.
The ship and the rest of ceremony
The ceremony consisted of speeches by the Vice Admiral — Commander, Naval Air Forces, and the current and future captains of the ship.
Both captains are then read their respective orders with due respect to the observance of customs and traditions, each founded on need and each contributing to the stability, combat effectiveness and smooth transfer of authority.
Captain Stephen T. Koehler is now the captain of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower — "The Ike" - one of the most revered and longest deployed of the nuclear supercarriers, and my friend from my days at Starbucks is now the captain of this famous and awesome supercarrier. It was truly an awesome and emotional experience. After the ceremony they had a reception in a section at this same level on the ship and I finally had a chance to go over to my friend Stephen. He saw me, gave me a smile and yelled "Sy, I'm so glad you made it to the ceremony. You don't know how many times I have told people how we met."
When I think about all those attending this ceremony, I cannot think of any of them having such a unique relationship with him as a barista at a coffee shop. We hugged and I congratulated him on his new position and wished him well. My wife and I spoke to his wife, who remembered me from her visit to Mount Pleasant and I just had a ball talking to vice admirals and others. Not bad for a former barista.
I asked an officer if there were tours of the ship and the next thing I knew, Marlene and I were off on a personal tour that took us to the flight deck and eventually up to the top levels of the ship where the "big captain's chair" is located. All in all a heck of a day and something that Marlene and I will always remember.
I have little doubt that I will be receiving future cards from the navy announcing additional promotions for Stephen. He is one very special person and I am proud to call him my friend. Any time he wants some coffee, all he has to do is ask.

First quarter: Off the Mark
New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is a turnover machine.
Too bad for the Buffalo Bills his charitable ways didn't start with the season opener.
Sanchez threw an interception straight to Bills linebacker Bryan Scott on the Jets second drive, and Scott returned it 20 yards for a TD to give the Bills a 7-3 lead.
It was the 25th turnover of the season for Sanchez. It was his league-leading 18th pickoff, and he has lost seven fumbles. It was Sanchez's eighth interception in his last 72 attempts.
Sanchez made just one turnover in 27 pass attempts in the Jets' 48-28 win over the Bills in the season opener.
Key plays: The Jets got a 47-yard field goal from Nick Folk to take a 3-0 lead 6 minutes into the game.
Big hits: Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham decleated Jeremy Kerley on a Wildcat run play for no gain. Corey McIntyre blew up New York's Lex Hilliard on the Jets' second kickoff return of the game.
Ball hogs: The Jets held the ball for 10:58 in the first quarter. The Bills got to the Jets' 44 on their lone drive but had to punt.
Second quarter: Full throttle
The New York Jets allowed three 50-yard scoring plays all season. Two of them were by Buffalo's C.J. Spiller.
Spiller took a screen pass 66 yards for a touchdown to give the Bills a 14-9 lead with 3:21 left in the half. Spiller lined up in the slot to the left of Ryan Fitzpatrick, faked to the outside and caught the ball at the line of scrimmage. He zoomed up the middle of the field. No Jet laid a glove on him.
"We worked on it in practice and thought it was something we could get," Spiller said of the play.
It was his second 50-plus touchdown of the season. He had a 56-yard TD run against the Jets in the season opener. It was Spiller's third 50-plus score for the Bills. The other was a 95-yard kickoff return TD as a rookie.
Spiller scored 51 touchdowns in college, and 21 of them went for 50 or more yards.
Key plays: New York got a 28-yard field goal from Nick Folk with 3:49 left.
Jet Pass D: The Jets held Fitzpatrick to just 3-of-11 passing for 106 yards.
Ball hogs II: The Bills had the ball for only 6:45 in the first 30 minutes.
Third quarter: Easy being Greene
Don't blame Shonn Greene for the New York Jets' disappointing season.
Greene is not as dynamic as Thomas Jones was early in the coaching tenure of Rex Ryan. But Greene has given the Jets solid, between-the-tackles, downhill running. Greene went over the 1,000-yard mark for the season Sunday and finished with 1,063 rushing yards.
A fourth-year back from Iowa, Greene has 3,106 rushing yards in three seasons as the Jets' starter.
Key plays: Spencer Johnson batted the ball out of Mark Sanchez's hand for a sack and fumble that Nigel Bradham recovered at the Jets' 34. … Bills kicker Rian Lindell missed from 50 and 46 yards.
Doink: Marcell Dareus blocked a 30-yard field-goal attempt by Nick Folk to allow the Bills to get a defensive stop deep in their own territory.
Lost his head: Jets receiver Braylon Edwards cost his team points after catching a 5-yard pass at the Buffalo 27. Edwards took off his helmet on the field, apparently to complain about what he thought was a late hit. It was a 15-yard penalty.
Fourth quarter: People's Choice
Bills running back Tashard Choice put the icing on the Bills' victory with a 13-yard touchdown run with 1:10 left.
Choice celebrated in the end zone by making a motion with his hands that looked like he was parting the seas, then doing a shimmy-shake. What was that dance about?
"I was sneaking in the door," Choice said. "Just sneaking in. I had to part the door open, crawl underneath the crawl space.
"Thanks to those guys up front, they did an excellent job."
It was the 10th TD of Choice's five-year NFL career but his first this season. He almost had one in the season opener in the Meadowlands, but his 1-yard run was wiped out by a Bills false start penalty.
"They took the first one from me in New York," Choice said. "We had a touchdown. … So I've been mad ever since. So I've finally got one."
Key plays: Brad Smith scored on a 4-yard run from the Wildcat formation to give the Bills a 21-9 lead with 10:52 left. ... Alex Carrington stuffed Bilal Powell on a fourth-and-1 rushing attempt at the Jets' 48 with 5:34 left.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Bill O'Brien acknowledged the depth concerns that will hit Penn State starting next year because of the NCAA sanctions, but the coach does not think depth will be a major issue this season.
"There's certainly some numbers issues, but I think we are still dealing with a little bit of the same situation that we dealt with in 2012," O'Brien said. "I think when it gets really, really difficult is really '14 to '15, '16. In '13, even though we have depth issues, we don't have to get down to 65 [scholarships] until 2014."
The Nittany Lions will be limited to that 65 total from 2014-17, and entering this season they are expected to have more than 70 players on scholarship.
Highlights from O'Brien's spring news conference Monday:
* Safety Stephen Obeng-Agyapong (shoulder) and tight end Kyle Carter (wrist) will not take part in contact drills this spring.
* O'Brien said freshman tight end Adam Breneman, who missed his senior year of high school with a knee injury, "will be full go in the spring. But we are really going to monitor him early on."
* Miles Dieffenbach is at guard and has not moved to center. Dieffenbach originally was listed at center on the spring roster last week.
* Zach Zwinak is atop the depth chart at running back after a strong 2012 season (1,000 yards), and O'Brien said Bill Belton has lost some weight and is in better condition. Belton began 2012 as the starter but got injured and didn't play much at the end of the season after falling out of favor.
* Penn State has enjoyed an abundance of talent at linebacker in the past decade, but O'Brien noted this year, "We don't have a lot of depth at linebacker, that's for sure." Glenn Carson returns in the middle, and Mike Hull is expected to be one of the outside linebackers. Redshirt freshman Nyeem Wartman has the inside track on the other outside spot, with Ben Kline missing the spring because of shoulder surgery.
* O'Brien spent a ton of time in recent weeks giving speeches at various functions around the country. He joked Monday, "I'm just excited to be off the banquet circuit and back on the field coaching."
* O'Brien will not be taking part in any NCAA tournament brackets, which have been known to get college coaches into trouble. When asked by the Mirror's Neil Rudel, O'Brien laughed and said, "No, no" and then joked, "You're a bad guy Neil for asking."

PITTSBURGH - We'll find out today if the Pittsburgh Penguins' Game 2 loss was a bump in the road or the beginning of another first-round heartbreak.
The vote here is for teaching moment. The Penguins clearly have superior talent, but if talent isn't backed with effort and attention to detail, things can get off the tracks. Remember that the Penguins lost two home games to Buffalo down the stretch when they were beating everyone else.
The downcast mood in the locker room Friday suggested the Penguins knew exactly what went wrong and were committed to fixing it.
If it was merely an interruption, it wasn't all bad. It guarantees a home-ice Game Five on Thursday, which will pump a few million dollars into the team treasury.
Cyber clutter
Twitter is a phenomenon that can be useful for dispensing information instantly. It can also be an incredibly vapid waste of time.
Unfortunately, the ratio seems to be tilting about 98-2 in favor of the latter.
For a prime example, check the freshly-launched "Twitter Tuesday" on Root Sports' Pirates broadcasts. Root regularly shifts back to the studio and its Twitter team of Katie O'Malley and Kent Tekulve. O'Malley is a promising young talent probably best known for her high-decibel work during fan participation segments at Penguins games.
Tekulve is a 66-year-old former pitcher with no apparent connection to social media. When they sit together, the impression is, "Oh, that nice young lady brought her grandfather to work."
The odd coupling aside, it's the lack of substance that's painful. When the Pirates' new catcher threw out a would-be base stealer, we had to hear from a Tweeter who said, "Russell Martin you are the man." That could have been a time to make the point that the Pirates have improved their woeful defense against the running game and why that's happened.
Are the pitchers more conscious of holding runners? Does Martin have an exceptionally quick release? Are opponents putting themselves at a disadvantage by running on fastball counts? We don't know. All we know is that some anonymous guy with quick thumbs thinks Martin is the man.
Later when the Pirates hit back-to-back home runs, a Tweet said, "Whoo." Because who knew that a Pirates fan would be pleased with consecutive home runs by the Pirates?
The Tweets are unnecessary, and the interruptions ultimately do the viewer a disservice. Instead of information, Root delivers mindless clutter.
A good question for the post-game "Ask Teke" segment would be, "Why does Root insult our intelligence with Twitter Tuesday?"

Rick Jeanneret appreciated the attempts to honor him through the years, but the Buffalo Sabres' legendary announcer told everyone they'd have to wait. He had no desire to enter any halls of fame while he was still working in the broadcast booth.
That policy changed last year. He and Michael Gilbert, the Sabres' vice president of public and community relations, had a talk about Jeanneret's close relationship with his mother, Kay. The 92-year-old is unquestionably the announcer's biggest fan. He realized how much it would mean to her to see her son honored, and he knew how much it would mean to him to have her be part of the festivities.
So after watching Jeanneret get inducted into the Sabres' Hall of Fame, the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame and the Buffalo Broadcasting Hall of Fame during the last year, Kay will accompany her son to Toronto on Monday for the biggest honor yet – a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
"She's pumped," Jeanneret said Friday in First Niagara Center. "I just talked to her a little while ago, and she's ready to roll.
"I was going to wait for my career to be over before I allowed my name to be nominated for any of the halls. Once I sat down and talked to [Gilbert] and we talked about my mother, I thought that maybe we should do this while she's still around and she can appreciate it, even though I knew and had a pretty good idea that once I accepted one there would be others. I'm running out of them now anyways."
Indeed, the honors have poured in for the NHL's longest-tenured broadcaster. The Sabres named him to their hall last November. In September, he became a member of the Buffalo broadcasters' hall. The Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame inducted him last month.
On Monday, Jeanneret will receive the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award, awarded annually by the NHL Broadcasters' Association. The honorees are recognized with a plaque in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
"It seems like just about every month something has been going on, and this is really the ultimate one," Jeanneret said.
A 15-person caravan will join the native of St. Catharines, Ont., on his ride to hockey's shrine. Jeanneret will become the second Sabres announcer to earn a spot inside the Hall. He'll join former partner and late Sabres play-by-play man Ted Darling, who won the Foster Hewitt in 1994.
Jeanneret joined Darling in the radio booth in 1971, the Sabres' second season, and worked as an analyst until Darling moved to television. Jeanneret took over play-by-play and turned into a mainstay on radio and television for parts of five decades, though he says Darling is the only person who should carry the "Voice of the Sabres" moniker.
"He just let me do my thing and he did his," Jeanneret said. "Good lord, there's a big difference between Ted Darling's play-by-play and mine, that's for sure. Jeez, mine's way off the wall. I know that."
The excitable Jeanneret has become arguably the most popular and recognizable person in the Sabres' organization. Fans continually approach him and re-live calls such as "Top shelf where mama hides the cookies," "La-la-la-la-Lafontaine" and "May day, May day."
"My association with the fans and Western New York has been incredible over the years, and it just continues to build every year," Jeanneret said. "It's something that I'm very proud of and I treasure."
After working 57 of the Sabres' 82 games last season, Jeanneret was set to call the full slate this year. Because of the lockout, he's called none. He's no longer sure if he'll ever work an 82-game schedule again.
No matter how many times he steps into a booth from now on, it will always be as a Hockey Hall of Fame honoree.
"It's been something I've been thinking about for quite some time now," Jeanneret said. "The nicest thing I think about it is my whole family is going to be there."

On practicing her startup pitch and meeting the Vice President of the United States.

But whoever put this together had done a nice job on the invitation, which looked very professional and contained none of the usual misspellings. So I showed it to

Good support for child who can't make it through the night Review by Laura
Price Value Quality
We use these for our 3 year old daughter, who is a sound sleeper and can't make it through every night without an accident. Generally these training pants are great. She finds them comfortable, and can easily get them on and off. They do a fantastic job with small leaks, helping her to wake up and get to the bathroom, while keeping pj's and sheets dry. On nights when she's very soundly asleep and she empties her bladder in bed they do leak and a full change is required. With that caveat in mind, I have happily recommended them to others. (Posted on 6/30/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
A practical and affordable potty training solution Review by LisaT
Price Value Quality
My 27 month old girl wears these for naps and around the house. They work perfectly for accidents. They are affordable, wash great time and time again. They are a little bulky, so I only use them around the house and for naps... and the elastics are a little snug on her legs but she's close to going up a size. I plan on using these for my next baby as well because they are still in great shape even after many washes! She feels that she's wet and tells me, she does not tell me with disposables!!! This is a great product! (Posted on 1/1/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Good value, but not for us Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
These are durable training pants, but they don't work for us. The leg bindings are just too snug on my chubby toddlers, and while they don't leak, it is terrible to clean up a poopy mess. I much prefer trainers with snaps for that reason. (Posted on 1/3/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? In the right circumstance.
Economical Review by Jennifer
Price Value Quality
We have about 1/2 a dozen different brands of cloth pull ups. These are some of the more economical brands.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
They are comfortable and absorb well, though mostly designed for day use. These would not work well for overnight.
Bummis quality is apparent with this product and overall, I'm quite happy. I just wish they were a little trimmer. When I put them on, I'm not sure which is the front or back. LOL (Posted on 1/2/11)

A great example of the importance of environmental quality to liveability
Courtney Barrowman's curator insight, September 13, 12:42 PM
This article outlines differences between environmental determinism and environmental possibilism. Authors such as Robert Kaplan (Revenge of Geography---see a review here) and Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs, and Steel) have been accused of being too environmentally deterministic. Read Jared Diamond's retort to his critics here.
Questions to Ponder: In what ways does the environment shape human culture(s)? Why is Jared Diamond critical of skeptics who use the phrase 'environmental determinism?'Why might some of Kaplan's ideas as well as the ideas of classical geopolitics be considered 'environmental determinism?' Can the role of physical geography be overstated in culture, economics or politics? Give three examples when it might be inappropriate.

Staged Readings from Suzan Zeder's "Mother Hicks" and "The Taste of Sunrise"
February 9, 2013 - 2:30pm – 5:00pm
Admission :Free; Seating is limited.
Audience members are invited to abridged readings of Mother Hicks and The Taste of Sunrise, the first two plays in Suzan Zeder's cherished Ware trilogy.
Set against the stark backdrop of the Great Depression in Ware, Illinois, Mother Hicks introduces the audience to three outsiders: a deaf young man, Tuc; a foundling child, known only as Girl, and a mysterious recluse, Mother Hicks, who the townspeople suspect of being a witch.
Set in the roaring twenties, The Taste of Sunrise tells of the night Tuc, the beloved leading character from Mother Hicks, loses his hearing. Follow him through his experiences at the School for the Deaf and his return to his hometown of Ware, Illinois.
The readings will also feature dramaturgical commentary from Suzan Zeder and photos of locations that inspired both plays.

Village Council is proceeding with plans to repair the former street garage so it can be reoccupied sometime this spring.
Council voted at this week's meeting to spend a combined $11,000 to continue renovating the old garage located on state Route 164 near the intersection with state Route 517.
The garage was abandoned after the flash flood of 2004 caused major damage, forcing the street department to relocate to the former Center Township garage. The garage is owned by the Columbiana County Park District, which intends to begin using the garage and has given the village until spring to move out.
In October, council voted to spend up to $4,000 to begin repairing the old street department garage, and $2,800 of that money remains. This week council agreed to use the rest of the money to pay Graft Electric of Columbiana $2,372 to make the necessary electrical improvements at the garage, which includes the $1,000 cost of obtaining the necessary state permits.
Council then approved hiring D & R Garage Doors Plus of Austintown to replace the doors for $8,629.
Council is also contemplating constructing a second building that would give the street department the extra space it needs to house the rest of the vehicles that cannot fit into the older and smaller garage. The estimated cost for a cement block building is $24,000 to $25,000.
In other action, council acted on the recommendation of Fire Chief Dave Lewton and approved the addition of Doug Faulk to the fire department. Lisbon firefighters are paid the hourly minimum wage for responding to fire calls.
Mayor Dan Bing also announced village hall would be closed Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.

It's been said time and time again: You can't fix stupid.
But that's exactly what the West Virginia House of Delegates could do with House Bill 2108, which would allow police to initiate a traffic stop if a driver is observed not wearing a seat belt. As the law presently stands, failure to buckle up can only be ticketed as a secondary offense to another moving violation.
Thirty-two states, along with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, already have primary offense seat belt laws, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Dave Emke
It seems like common sense. Clicking your safety belt when you get into the car - a process that takes about one second - helps keep you safe in the event of an accident. But there are people out there, for one reason or another, who just don't need that hassle.
According to information provided by the Centers for Disease Control, it isn't rocket science - safety belts are called "safety belts" because they help to keep people safe. CDC data indicate that 53 percent of drivers and passengers killed in car crashes in 2009 were unbuckled.
The bill passed through the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, though by the skin of its teeth - 13 yays to 11 nays.
The fact that some delegates voted against the bill may seem baffling enough, but it was the line of questioning directed toward Bob Tipton, director of the Governor's Highway Safety Program, prior to the vote that really is a head scratcher.
CDC data indicate people not wearing a seat belt are 30 times more likely to be ejected from a vehicle during a crash, and that more than 75 percent of people ejected during a crash die from their injuries.
But that didn't stop Tipton from being asked to supply data reporting on people whose lives were actually saved by being ejected from a car.
"I have heard people say that, but I have never seen it," Tipton said, according to MetroNews. "It doesn't make any sense."
No, it makes no sense. Nor did questions asking about people being trapped by seat belts as cars sunk under water, as reported by MetroNews' John Kerkhoff.
After the vote was cast, the bill's detractors quickly began to voice their displeasure with its advancement to the House floor. Many were upset on libertarian grounds - the decision to put one's life at risk by not wearing a seat belt is his own, they argued.
"Peeking into our cars to make sure we're being good boys and girls," Howard Monroe, a host on Talk Radio 1370 in Morgantown, tweeted. "What happened to the right to be left alone?"
"Nanny state," tweeted Delegate Jim Butler, R-Mason, simply and to-the-point.
Others had different concerns. Delegate Isaac Sponaugle, D-Pendleton, who voted against the bill, said he did so not only because seat belts are a personal responsibility, but also because he believed a law would lead to abuse by law enforcement.
Delegate Stephen Skinner, D-Jefferson, also voted against the bill, but for an opposite reason - he believed the $25 fine proposed in the bill to be too lenient against offenders, according to a report in the Charleston Daily Mail.
"A better way to do it would be to make the penalty one people will remember," Skinner told the newspaper.
While his vote nearly killed the bill, Skinner has the right idea. While concerns about giving law enforcement an opportunity to abuse a new law may be warranted, there is a simple solution to keep the red and blue lights from flashing in your rearview - buckle your safety belt. It might just save your life, too.

The Planning Commission of the City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was established in 1949 as a part of one of the country's
earliest combined city and county (or city and parish) governing units. Known as the
City-Parish Planning Commission, the governmental agency is directed by state law and the
the City-Parish Plan of Government to guide the physical growth of Baton Rouge and the Parish with
comprehensive planning and land use controls.
As well as, comprehensive and advance planning duties the Planning
Commission develops zoning and subdivision regulations, and reviews rezoning and
subdivision applications. The Commission and the Planning staff make recommendations to
the Metropolitan Council for ordinances, ordinance changes and land use requirements. The
work of the planning staff is guided by a twenty year comprehensive land use and development
plan – FUTUREBR – that was adopted in 2011.

officials on growth and development issues for the Parish. The Commission decides on
subdivision issues that fall within existing subdivision regulations, and serves in an
advisory capacity to the Metropolitan Council on any zoning or planning ordinance changes
or amendments.
Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish are located in south-central
Louisiana, on the east bank of the Mississippi River. The City of Baton Rouge has a population of
about 230,000 and is home to both Louisiana State University and Southern University. As

Road to W.Va.'s statehood began long before Civil War
January 1, 2013
