Good work out of Bob Condotta this afternoon on the PAC-10 bowl agreements. The Las Vegas Bowl has now re-upped with the PAC-10, locking in the number five team in the conference. What's interesting is that the match-up will be with the number one team from the Mountain West? I mean I know that has been basically the match-up over the years, although the MWC last year saw their top team in Utah win the Sugar Bowl.
But the MWC has been crowing a bit about BCS this and BCS that, threatening legislation and all that other stuff. Yet I will agree that they deserve to talk 'em up a bit, after a 6-1 regular season record vs. the PAC-10 in '08 (although Arizona saved a little face by beating BYU in that same Vegas Bowl).
I don't know though. You would think that with their recent success, that maybe the MWC could get a better agreement by sending their best non-BCS team to Vegas vs. the number five PAC-10 team? Ah well.
The PAC-10 bowl agreements, per Condotta, are now:
1) Rose (duh)
2) Alamo – this is new, rising up beyond the Holiday Bowl for second pick. It would still be a Big 12 opponent, same as the Holiday Bowl today.
3) Holiday Bowl falls to number three.
4) Sun Bowl in El Paso.
5) Las Vegas
Condotta adds that it's unclear what bowl agreements will come beyond the five above, but that more seem likely at this point. Mmmmm, bowl games. Wouldn't it be nice to actually worry about bowl games?? 2003 feels like a LONG time ago….

Red carpet ready
The red carpet has been spread outside the southeast entrance of Honda Center, ready for the arrival of Ducks players before Wednesday night's home opener against the Boston Bruins. While it might seem a bit much for a mere hockey game, it is a big night for the Ducks, who before the game will raise to the rafters banners to commemorate their Pacific Division, Western Conference and Stanley Cup championships won last season. Shortly thereafter, it will be time to get down to business, to try to leave behind the reality of a difficult 1-3-1 start on a grueling, season-opening road swing and go about the necessity of trying to secure a playoff spot this season. Plans are for left wing Travis Moen, who missed Saturday's 5-4 loss at Pittsburgh because of a blow to the head suffered the night before, and center Samuel Pahlsson, who has yet to play this season after having undergone sports-hernia surgery in early September, to be in the lineup. That would reunite the club's vaunted checking line that also includes right wing Rob Niedermayer, the trio that was together for all 103 regular-season and playoff games in 2006-07 and was such an instrumental part in the team's success. Winger Todd Bertuzzi also plans to give it a shot, despite a groin strain that hampered him in Pittsburgh. Goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere, as much as he'd like to be on the ice, will wait until at least Sunday's game against Minnesota, just to be certain that his recovery from August sports-hernia surgery is complete. It shapes up as a fun night at Honda Center. If you have tickets, you'll want to get there early. The festivities begin at 6:45, and you won't want to miss them.

Being the Bodyby Charles Colson
Charles Colson has been called, "one of the most important social reformers in a generation." Ten years ago in The Body, Colson turned his prophetic attention to the church and how it might break out of its cultural captivity and reassert its biblical identity. Today the book's classic truths have not changed. But the world we live in has. Christians in America have had their complacency shattered and their beliefs challenged. Around the world, the clash of world views has never been more strident. Before all of us, daily, are the realities of life and death, terror and hope, light and darkness, brokenness and healing. We cannot withdraw to the comfort of our sanctuaries...we must engage. For, if ever there was a time for Christians to be the Body of Christ in the world, it is now. In this new, revised and expanded edition of The Body, Charles Colson revisits the question, "What is the church and what is its relevance to contemporary culture at large?" Provocative and insightful, Being the Body inspires us to rise above a stunted "Jesus and me" faith to a nobler view of something bigger and grander than ourselves--the glorious, holy vision for which God created the church.Hardcover ISBN 0849917522
Born Again (Twentieth Anniversary Edition)by Charles Colson
Twenty years ago, against the backdrop of the explosive Watergate scandal, Charles Colson revealed the story of his own search for meaning during the tumultuous investigations that led to the collapse of the Nixon administration. A convicted former special counsel to the president, Colson paradoxically found new life not with success and power, but while in national disgrace and serving a prison sentence. In the new foreword for this anniversary edition of Born Again, Colson describes the day he sat in his prison cell and began jotting down notes of the events that brought about the fall of a president and the rebirth of his former "hatchet man." Those notes developed into this book, which has sold more than two million copies. "All I knew was that I had a story I must tell, a story that might bring hope and encouragement to others," Colson recalls. In a new epilogue, he describes some of the ways the story has indeed brought hope, encouragement, and more.
Gideon's Torchby Charles Colson Ellen Vaughn
The new President of the United States was running for office, now he's running amuck.
The Good Lifeby Charles Colson
Do you wonder if you can figure out the world and your place in it? Do you question how your life can be truly significant? Reflecting on his own story and the stories of others, Chuck Colson examines the beliefs and assumptions that form the fabric of our lives. You'll read about: The king of corporate scandals The woman the Chinese Cultural Revolution couldn't break The most tragic figure from Watergate A man recovering from same-sex attraction The film characters who say the most about what's happening in culture now The Good Life searches for answers to the questions we all ask: Who am I? Why am I here? How can I find significance in my life? How can I make my life count? These are the core questions and the central passions of this book. Your answers to these questions will determine how your life story is written. Here's the thing. The worldview you live by has everything to do with what you will become. UNDERSTANDING THIS WILL UTTERLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
How Now Shall We Liveby Charles Colson Nancy Pearcey
Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that not only answers life's basic questions--Where did we come from, and who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?
Loving Godby Charles Colson
This book is a contemporary reminder that "loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and strength--and your neighbor as yourself" is still what it's all about.

My friends, I have some good news and bad news.
The bad news: Issues with the old databases prevented them from cleanly updating and they just aren't compatible with the updated versions of the software. Repairing the problems proved a herculean task, demanding great time and expertise that was simply not available.
The good news: With tremendous help from Ikoma Ken, a fresh board has been set up. In time, it will shift closer to the forms we remember (but probably without that intensely… vibrant… default theme) as bells and whistles are restored. Registration has been streamlined.
The original forums are now set up as The Archives for a time so that old information can be referenced and copied as needed. The no-frills forums are now set up under The Swift Sword up top. There is still much work to do, so please bear with us in coming weeks.
Tue 20 Aug 2013
Regular visitors may have noticed a few errors preventing posting on the Swift Sword forums in the last few days. Unfortunately, updates on the far end of the forums have unearthed compatibility issues with the near end. We're working on the problem, but the timing for this is perhaps as poor as it could be and the issue appears to be a number of needles across a field of haystacks, so a few options are under discussion for how to handle the repairs and/or renovations.
Please bear with us during this process.

The NBA playoffs are just around the corner, and it looks like this could be the first round series to watch.
No other team has surprised as much as the Oklahoma City Thunder. This has to do greatly with NBA leading scorer Kevin Durant—a phrase that will become common in the future.
Durant has put the young Thunder on his back, and he has carried them all the way to the No. 8 seed.
Unfortunately that means their reward is Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers are coming off an NBA Championship, and they want more.
Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Ron Artest, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher, and Andrew Bynum—when healthy—make up the best six man rotation in the league, and the Thunder are certainly going to have their hands full.
As always I want to hear your opinions, so please speak up.

Wolves' Kahn quashes Lakers trade rumors
Timberwolves president David Kahn is annoyed by false rumors of a trade for Lakers PF Pau Gasol.
MINNEAPOLIS – Timberwolves president of basketball operations David Kahn made a rare speaking appearance at shootaround Friday morning, his intent being to quash trade rumors involving a reported deal that would send Nikola Pekovic and Derrick Williams to the
Los Angeles Lakers for Pau Gasol. Reports of the deal, Kahn said, are completely false.
Since almost the moment that Mike D'Antoni took the coaching reins in Los Angeles, trade scenarios have been swirling around the Lakers' big man, Gasol, who has had trouble adjusting to his team's new system. But regardless of whether the Lakers are indeed shopping the Spaniard, Kahn said that the Timberwolves have not been in talks with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak and company since June.
Kahn stressed that he was not upset that the trade rumors were printed, but he was annoyed that no one from the outlets that reported the supposedly coalescing deal called the team for confirmation. It seemed, in fact, that Kahn was more irked by the current climate of information flow within sports than anything else.
"I think that it is a daily occurrence in our league that isn't just specific to the
Minnesota Timberwolves," Kahn said. "Most of what's reported these days is either sourced anonymously or not sourced at all. What bothers me is it has an impact on a team and its players and its family members, and it's not appropriate for that reason."
Kahn said that he has not spoken to Pekovic or Williams about the rumors, his explanation being that it would be unfair to them and that "part of life in the NBA is someday you may be traded."
Williams, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 draft, has been the subject of such rumors since the trade deadline on March 15. Many such rumors, even back then, targeted him as bait in a deal that would send him to Los Angeles for Gasol, and the chatter is likely to continue. Williams is jostling for position with an untouchable starter, Kevin Love, and he hasn't yet sustained the level of play the team has been hoping for. But for now, he's a Timberwolf, and that will likely remain the case for some time into the future.
Right now, Kahn said he's more focused on seeing how his team comes together as it gets healthy. It would seem irresponsible to trade a major piece so early, before Ricky Rubio's return from an ACL injury, especially when the point guard could dramatically alter the team's approach and its level of success.
"When I lay my head down at night I think about how do we become better," Kahn said. "When I wake up I'm thinking about how we become better. But it has to be tempered, especially now with the healthy team and the variables out there. They're still out there."
For trade rumors to begin so early in the season is not necessarily rare, but it's at least uncommon. A week remains before Dec. 15, the date at which players who signed offseason deals are cleared to be included in trades, thus opening up the market further and allowing teams to explore more complex swaps. By then, Rubio may have made his debut, but that's not to say that the Timberwolves will be active. If one thing came from Kahn's explanation-cum-lecture, it's that he thinks the team needs time to become the group it can be, and it's hard to argue with his point.

CCAFS Field Manual Tracks Climate Adaptation and Mitigation in Colombia
9 January 2014: The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) has developed a field manual in Spanish to document a range of adaptation and mitigation activities in Rio Las Piedras within Cauca, Colombia.
The manual uses a set of images to describe nineteen agricultural practices for mitigation and adaptation for researchers, extension agents and farmers. The activities include those already being implemented by farmers in the region, while others have been identified as suitable or beneficial to agricultural production. CIAT performed the work through the Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security Program (CCAFS) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).
The program is part of a gender-sensitive research project in Colombia. [CIAT Publication (in Spanish): Manual of the Measures of Climate Change in Adaptation Practiced by the Campesinos of Asocampo in Rio Las Piedras Wastershed of Cauca, Colombia] [CCAFS Release] [CCAFS Blog Post]

"Pain management advice from a Super Bowl champ!!! #brokenleg" the actor Tweeted along with a picture of himself and the football pro on March 21.
But it looks as if Connelly has some serious skills when it comes to the sport. "This actually was during a take and my man @mrkevinconnolly came down with the ball!" Tweeted director Doug Ellin.
Connelly stars as Vincent Chase's (Adrian Grenier) manager Eric "E." Murphy in the movie version of the hit HBO TV show. The movie, due out next June, also stars Jeremy Piven and Kevin Dillon.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a medicine that was prescribed in the United
States between 1948 and 1971 to prevent miscarriage or premature delivery. It
is no longer prescribed, because it was found to cause various medical problems
in the children of the women who used it.
Daughters born to women who took DES while pregnant have a slightly
higher risk for:
Sons born to women who took DES while pregnant have a slightly
higher risk of abnormalities of the scrotum and decreased sperm counts.

WARREN - Probate Judge Thomas A. Swift on Monday approved a $200,000 settlement reached in a lawsuit against two doctors filed by the surviving family members of an Iraqi War veteran from Champion who committed suicide after being treated by the doctors.
Jurors in another courtroom were unable to reach a verdict and told another judge they were deadlocked after two days of deliberations in January in the case of Michael Ecker, 25, of Champion, whose family sued family practice physicians Dr. Frank G. Veres and his son, Dr. Zachary F. Veres, in Champion.
The vet put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger after saluting his father in the family's backyard in August 2009.
The doctors were sued by Matt Ecker, also of Champion, who filed the action in behalf of his son, who had been treated by the doctors for pain and depression after suffering post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic head injuries in battle.
After the hung jury caused a mistrial in the case heard earlier by Judge Ronald Rice, both sides continued to deliberate before any re-trial was scheduled. The settlement triggered a hearing before Swift, who must approve expenditures in wrongful death cases.
Swift approved $30,000 payouts to each of the veteran's mother, father and brother. Another nearly $40,000 in expenses and $70,000 in attorneys fees also were approved.
The family was represented by attorney Brian Kopp.
One juror explained in January that the panel of three men and five women weren't even able to move past the issue of whether the doctors had breached the medical standard of care. If a majority of six out of the eight jurors could have agreed on that issue in favor of the Eckers, they were to decide if any breach caused the suicide.
With two medical experts siding with the Eckers, Kopp tried to convince jurors that the doctors increased the veteran's medication, but never referred him for psychiatric treatment. Kopp was critical of the doctors, saying they didn't try hard enough to retrieve Ecker's medical records from the Veterans Administration.
Both the doctors insisted, though, that Ecker never showed any suicidal signs and was on good terms with his family and his girlfriend. He also had just landed a job the week that he killed himself.

Fishing in Bahrain
Fishing and fish traps
There are two types of fish traps used in Bahrain. One is called "jarjur" which is made of wire and is shaped like a light weight cage. This is then filled with ground bait and lowered in the sea to entice the fish through a narrow funnel.
The second type is called "hadhra" and is made of wood and palm reeds in the shape of a giant arrow-head when viewed aerially. Their function is to exploit the movement of the fish with the tide. During high tide the fish move to the shores looking for food, and during the low tide they rush back towards the sea. It is during this movement back into the deep waters that the fish get trapped between the two arms of the "hadhra" and forced to move in one direction into the trap. The design and construction of these traps vary according to the species of fish which is caught, as different species of fish have different swimming habits.

World briefs
Syrian rebels capture helicopter base
BEIRUT -- Syrian rebels captured a helicopter base just outside Damascus on Sunday in what an activist called a "blow to the morale of the regime" near President Bashar Assad's seat of power.
The director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdul-Rahman, said rebels seized control of the Marj al-Sultan base on the outskirts of Damascus on Sunday morning. He said at least 15 rebels and eight soldiers were killed in the fighting that started a day earlier. The rebels later withdrew from the base.
1 dead, 40 hurt in Egypt riot
CAIRO -- Security officials said rioters stormed a Muslim Brotherhood headquarters building in northern Egypt on Sunday, and a teenage protester was killed.
It was the first death in three days of street battles after a power grab by the country's president.
A 15-year-old died and 40 people were injured in the clash between protesters and police late Sunday in the town of Damanhoor in the Nile delta, according to security officials.
Demonstrators were protesting Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's decree granting himself immunity from judicial review as well as other measures neutralizing the judges.
Egypt's stock market plummeted nearly 10 percent on Sunday, the first day of trading since Morsi's assumption of extra powers.
Pakistani Shiite procession hit by bombing, 6 dead
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan -- A bombing claimed by the Taliban killed at least six people and wounded about 90 others at a Shiite religious procession in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday, police said, as the minority Muslim sect observes the annual Ashoura holiday.
Since Wednesday, at least 31 have been killed in bombings aimed at Pakistani Shiites and claimed by the Taliban, who espouse an extremist interpretation of Sunni Islam. More than 100 were wounded in the attacks during the run-up to the holiday, which commemorates the seventh-century death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson.
Sunday's explosion went off as hundreds of Shiites were passing through the main intersection of the city of Dera Ismail Khan, police said. An initial investigation suggested a bomb was planted near a shop along the procession route.
Suicide blasts at Nigeria military base kill 11
KADUNA, Nigeria -- Twin suicide car bombs exploded Sunday at a church inside one of Nigeria's top military bases, killing at least 11 people and wounding 30 others in an attack showing the continued insecurity that haunts Africa's most populous nation.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, but suspicion immediately fell on the radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram, whose suicide bombers target Sunday worship services in what has become a weekly macabre routine in Nigeria.
This attack in Jaji on Sunday began just after noon and targeted the St. Andrew Military Protestant Church, Brig. Gen. Bola Koleoso said.

Hi Nessa, I just made some bone broth myself and was desperately trying to find the answer to this question.
The best I could find was to go to an aquarium store and buy water testing strips to find the "hardness" level, which gives you a rough idea of the calcium & magnesium content of your broth.
I simmered my bone broth for 12 hours in a Crock-Pot, and it registered 150mg/L hardness. After 12 more hours, it actually lowered (I didn't stir it very well though) to 75mg/L.
I don't know how to test for fat content or calories though. But it was fun testing it with the strips! Hope that helps!

Judge denies request to stop live pigeon shoots in Perry
Posted: 8:00 PM EDT Oct 23, 2012 Updated: 6:55 PM EDT Oct 24, 2012
A judge has denied a Humane Society police officer's petition to stop a gun club in Berks County from holding live pigeon shoots.
The shooting events at Wing Pointe in Perry Township have attracted protesters in the past. The Humane Society said the shoots violate state law, but the judge said not so.
"I'm disappointed of course, but since we've been trying this for 26 years, we're used to disappointment," said Johnna Seeton. "The sad part is the pigeons keep getting wounded. They keep getting tortured, to no avail."
A bill to ban using live animals as targets has not yet made it through the state legislature.

We are calling for expressions of interest in a conference entitled
'Messianism, Apocalypse and Redemption: 20th-century German Thought' to be held at the University of Adelaide, South Australia, from Monday July 19 to Thursday July 22 2004.
We are interested in the persistent use of these essentially religious terms to express the hopes, forebodings and tasks of post-Nietzschean 20th century German thinkers. The widespread deployment of the images of apocalypse, redemption and messianism across different religious and secular faiths as well as different disciplines seems to have been indicative of the need felt by a large number of German thinkers to draw upon more archaic yet still vital speech to capture the moods and responses to the catastrophes of the first half of the 20th century.
It is anticipated that selected papers will be published in a book of the same name. Each chapter in the book will be devoted to one major German thinker and how his or her thought is informed by and contributes to the problematic of messianism, apocalypse and/or redemption. In addition we intend to inaugurate a journal along similar lines extending beyond Germany and relating it to twentieth century thought generally.If you know of any of your colleagues who may be interested in the conference could you please pass on this information.

Mount Vernon Approves Stadium Deal, Friendship Baptist Votes Sunday
From News Services | 9/20/2013, 2:21 p.m.
Reed was joined at the news conference by the Rev. Turner from Mount Vernon Baptist and Lloyd Hawk, chairman of Friendship Baptist's board of trustees. Both men said they believe the proposed deals are fair and that they will recommend that their congregations approve them. Both churches said they are considering several sites, and Reed said the city will be willing to provide some assistance and advice for their relocation.
The churches have been the main obstacles to a site south of the Georgia Dome, the Falcons' existing stadium. Reed has repeatedly said that site is preferable to an open site on the north side of the Georgia Dome because it would be better served by two public transit stations, lessening game-day traffic jams and making it easier for fans to access the games using public transportation.
But if the congregations vote against the new proposals, Reed said he won't push it. Instead, he said he will join the Falcons in preparing for the north site.
There are six other parcels of land that will still remain to be purchased even if the churches agree to sell their land, but Reed said that, unlike the churches, none of those pieces is essential. Building the stadium without any of those parcels would be more difficult but not impossible, he said.

One of the worst things to ever happen to this country was the TV show "Leave it to Beaver."
Or, if you prefer, "Father Knows Best."
The first show ran from 1957 to 1963, the second from 1954 to 1960, but both live on in reruns and, I contend, in the hearts and minds of many politicians.
The shows, each in their own way, depicted the '50s and early '60s as a magical time. Dad worked. Mom wore a pretty dress every day and stayed at home with the kids. Everyone lived in the suburbs and had plenty of money. Children, of course, always minded authority figures. Problems were always solved in half an hour – no more, no less – usually after a stern lecture from dad.
Society, as a result, was pure bliss.
You can almost see and hear the yearning for this mythical time and place in the actions of some elected officials, who just can't seem to discern fantasy from reality.
The most recent example is Democratic Kansas state Rep. Gail Finney, a 54-year-old mother of three who introduced a bill that would have allowed parents to smack children hard enough to leave redness or bruises. The bill also would have let mom and dad give permission to others – including caregivers and teachers -- to redden and bruise their kids. That part of the bill wasn't, but should have been, called the "Whomp away, teach!" clause.
Thankfully, embarrassed Democrats – those killjoys -- shot down the bill before it even got to committee.
In a statement posted to her website, Finney said the legislation was not "intended to legalize child abuse in Kansas."
But of course when someone says what something is not, that's usually exactly what it is. Her bill, after all, defined corporal punishment as "up to 10 forceful applications in succession of a bare, open-hand palm against the clothed buttocks of a child and any such reasonable physical force on the child as may be necessary to hold, restrain or control the child in the course of maintaining authority over the child, acknowledging that redness or bruising may occur on the tender skin of a child as a result."
Sounds like legalized child abuse to me. (Personally, I love the line in the sand about 10 whacks. Ten, apparently, is just enough. But 11 -- whoa, mister, too much!)
It's hard to imagine a grown-up proposing such a thing, especially given the reams of evidence showing that corporal punishment doesn't teach kids anything other than to fear the person administering it.
But we are all products of our youth, and in most of our youths – including Finney's -- spanking was much more widely accepted and practiced. Certainly, Ward Cleaver would have done it if the Beav had ignored a lecture. So why not do it today?
Well, because we know more now. Societies evolve. We need to, too. Yes, it's tempting to yearn for what we perceive as a simpler, more structured time when there didn't seem to be as many problems as there are today. It's human nature to wish for easy answers to complex problems. It's also nice to believe that the 1950s and the early '60s were some kind of American utopia. But they weren't.
"Leave it to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best" were just shows.
Not signposts.

I've said it once (or twice or fifty times) and I'll say it again; games are amazing things. Even the ones that don't try to be amazing, are amazing. There are games out there that have no plot, no characters, games that have not tried to be anything but entertaining, that bring up more good memories than anything else I've played. And one of these games is Tetris.
Tetris is not just a classic. It's not just a video game. It's something that possesses the ability to bring waves of nostalgia crashing down on me, and it's a game about falling blocks. But it's also a game I played every Monday night on the way home from uni, with 4 of my closest friends.
Tetris Mondays started in semester 2 of my first year of university. The year was 2008, I was 18 years old obtaining my Bachelor of Primary Education, whilst my other friends were going on to become computer scientists developing video games for a living.
The university I went to was Wollongong, which is about a 1.5 hour trip south from Sydney. On a Monday evening the four of us didn't finish until 530pm, which meant catching the 6pm train home and not getting there until around 8pm. The nights were freezing, and we'd all been awake since about 5am that morning. We were tired, we were stressed out, and we didn't even have the energy to carry on a conversation with one another. What we did instead, was play Tetris.
Each of us had a DS, and each of us owned Tetris. So for the entire two hour train ride we would verse one another over and over again. Each time the results usually ended up the same; there was always the friend who would kick our asses, the friend who would lose abysmally (usually me) and the one who would silently rage when they screwed up. Mondays were a flurry of falling blocks and hilarious "that's what she said" jokes that tied us all together in a neat little bundle of friendship. And if Tetris hadn't been our game of choice, it probably wouldn't have happened that way.
Recently it was announced that Tetris was being re-released on the PSN in glorious 1080p. Not only is this amazing because it's Tetris in HD with online multiplayer, but for me it means that I can recreate Tetris Mondays from the comfort of my couch. There's also going to be a co-op mode, which means not only can I recreate this fond memory, but I can do it with my friends without having to worry about getting my ass kicked. Sweet!

GALVESTON (AP) - An elementary schoolteacher has been reprimanded for forcing a student to kneel down and beg for a fellow student's forgiveness after the 10-year-old girl tripped a classmate on the playground.
The girl accidentally caused the other student to fall while they were outside playing at San Jacinto Elementary School, her mother said. She said the girl helped the boy up from the ground and apologized.
But the boy's teacher then told the girl apologizing wasn't enough, the mother said. The girl was then told she should get on her knees and "apologize to him right."
School Superintendent Lynn Hale said the teacher's request was inappropriate.

Liz Allen: Can you help fund Erie film?
Maitham Basha-Agha's dream is to make a documentary about three former refugees, including himself, determined to live the American dream in Erie.
But the clock is ticking. To fund his film, Maitham is using Kickstarter, a website that raises money for the creative arts. His deadline to raise $5,000 is next Sunday, Nov. 24. So far, only $431 has been pledged.
Maitham's Sept. 20 Guest Voice column, "How Erie can benefit from new cultures," inspired him to make the film. "People around me said, 'Yes, it's a good article in the newspaper. You are bringing awareness about the refugees in Erie, Pennsylvania. You should take this a step further.' The step further is to produce a documentary," he says.
His film will note Erie's connection to Oliver Hazard Perry, refer to our history as a manufacturing hub and give a shout-out to Presque Isle State Park.
But he also wants the film to change perceptions. "The refugee community is always viewed as, we come here, we live on the system," he says. "There are also people who have done well to better themselves."
Refugees have strong motivation to succeed here. In their homelands, he says, "You are waking up every day and you don't know if you will have tomorrow. You come here, you come for a better life, not just for you but for your family. You go to school, you work hard to make sure education becomes part of your life, you become an active member of the workforce."
Maitham, 25, was 12 when his family escaped from Iraq. His older brother, blinded by shrapnel in 1991 at age 5, lives in Austin, Texas. He also has two little sisters.
He graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania in 2010 and works as a behavioral support staff member at the Sarah Reed Children's Center, where Margaret Ihiju Atarri, a friend from Edinboro, is a co-worker.
A one-time refugee from South Sudan, Margaret raises money to aid schools in her former country. In the film trailer, when Margaret raises her right arm, you see a fleshy scar, a wound of war.
Maitham's East High friend, Zakaria Sharif, a Pennsylvania State University graduate, will also be featured in the film. "It is a good project, (about) what a melting pot Erie is and how many diverse people Erie really has," says Zakaria, an assistant manager at a restaurant chain in Erie.
To see the film trailer, which convinced me that these stories should be shared, visit www.kickstarter.com. Click on "film & video." Your Erie location should take you to the clip. Or just search for "Erie."
Maitham wants to show the common experiences of Erie's refugees, no matter which war-torn country they fled, regardless of their ethnicity or religion.
That's why he picked this title for his documentary: "The New Americans."

Objective: To determine whether alternating regimens consisting of zidovudine and 2′,3′-dideoxycytidine (ddC) reduce the toxicity and maintain or increase the antiretroviral effect associated with each drug alone.
Design: An unblinded, randomized (phase II) clinical trial in which seven treatment regimens were compared.
Setting: Outpatient clinics of 12 AIDS Clinical Trials Units.
Patients: One hundred thirty-one patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex and serum p24 antigenemia (≥ 70 pg/mL).
Intervention: Treatments included weekly or monthly alternating zidovudine (200 mg every 4 hours) and ddC (0.01 or 0.03 mg/kg body weight every 4 hours); weekly intermittent zidovudine, 200 mg every 4 hours, or ddC, 0.03 mg/kg every 4 hours; and continuous zidovudine.
Measurements: Toxicity, CD4 cell counts, serum p24 antigen levels, and clinical end points. Data were analyzed for the first 48 weeks of therapy (median follow-up, 40 weeks).
Results: Hematologic toxicity was significantly less frequent in patients who received zidovudine therapy every other week (11% to 15%) or every other month (11% to 14%) than in those who received continuous zidovudine therapy (33%) (P < 0.02). Weekly alternating therapy with zidovudine and ddC, 0.03 mg/kg, or intermittent therapy with ddC, 0.03 mg/kg, produced high rates of peripheral neuropathy (41% and 50%, respectively). Neuropathy occurred in 10% to 21% of patients in the other three alternating-therapy limbs and in 17% of patients receiving zidovudine alone (intermittently or continuously). Initial increases in CD4 cell counts were sustained in three alternating-therapy limbs, but counts returned to baseline by week 28 in the remaining limbs. The median weight gain at week 48 was significantly greater in patients treated with alternating regimens (0.9 to 3.8 kg) compared with those treated with continuous zidovudine therapy ( −0.7 kg) (P = 0.008). Patients treated with alternating regimens and those treated with continuous zidovudine had similarly sustained decreases in p24 antigen levels.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that alternating therapy with zidovudine and ddC reduces the toxicity associated with each drug alone while maintaining strong antiretroviral activity.
ddC = 2′,3′-dideoxycytidine.
Alternating regimens (limbs A, B, C, and D) compared with continuous zidovudine (limb G). Intermittent regimens (limbs E and F) compared with continuous zidovudine (limb G). Imputed combined alternating regimens (indicated by X) compared with continuous zidovudine (limb G); missing values for patients not completing 48 weeks of study were imputed using the average of the last two CD4 counts on therapy. The curve labeled X represents combined values for alternating-therapy limbs A, B, C, and D. The baseline CD4 cell count was calculated as the mean of two pretreatment values. The number of participants on therapy in each limb at each time point is indicated along the abscissa. The standard errors of the mean change in CD4 cell count from baseline to weeks 8 and 24 were as follows: limb A, 16.7 and 33.7; limb B, 25.4 and 37.8; limb C, 19.1 and 33.9; limb D, 18.6 and 27.8; limb E, 21.7 and 10.9; limb F, 22.3 and 43.8, and limb G, 228.3 and 20.3.

BSS discontinues congregate respite program
September 1, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Faced with the financial strain it was creating, the Berkeley Senior Services is discontinuing its congregate respite program, effective today....
I'm sorry... what was that? I can't hear you because this BS alarm keeps going off. You did not pay to pave your road, repeating obvious lies only makes you look like more of a liar.

You did not pay to pave the state maintained road to your home, at least no more than any other citizen of the state.

Thanks GoodAsYou. Now, to continue the analogy:
We have a bat infestation, which we take care of every year. You can't kill them because they're protected, so you have to extract them and then you have to clean up the feces.

Major: Yep, gov't's gotta take. This is some kind of revelation to you?
Actually Major, I've got an idea for you. You contend gov't is financially "broke". How about, in order raise funds, the govt breaks up the road that goes to YOUR house and sells the milled asphalt in order to raise money? Does that seem fair to you? Then why is it fair to cut back services that are needed by others but leave your road intact?
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The attitude of out with the old and in with the new and modern says a lot about a person and their attitudes toward other things and people too. Someone who has no respect for something that's old shouldn't be running a senior center.

I sure hope they don't tear that old house down. Showing it's "deteroration" which isn't the "image" they want to project?? The services are for old people and we old people are showing our "deterioration" too and have to do maintenance from time to time but a lot of us are still useful. No, she probably wants a new, modern building like the other one which caused the High Street School buildng to be destoyed.

As a former caregiver, this may be necessary, but what a shame. It does still offer respite (so badly needed) but it means the caregiver has to find some other place to go to get it. Sometimes it is just nice to relax with a good book. On the other hand, keeping dementia patients in their own surroundings will be much easier on them.

Doing a subsequent "sudo apt-get update" from the command line (which I think is the same as clicking the Update button in the dialog that appears in response to "Updates Available" except that you can read the results: two errors

Maui voters, where is your outrage?
Once again the Maui County Salary Commission has made our County Council the highest paid in the entire state of Hawaii.
The Maui County Council makes more than their counterparts in Honolulu County in spite of the fact that Honolulu government supports more than six times Maui's population and more than four times Maui's number of government employees.
How are these latest increases justified? The most basic of compensation analysis rules is "similar pay for similar jobs."
As to the argument of paying more to encourage "good" leadership, we've heard that in one form or another at least three times in the 15 years I've lived on Maui. It hasn't worked yet.
Thinking the same action repeated many times will produce different results is the literal definition of insanity. So what are we doing?
Just as so many are calling for objective performance evaluations for our teachers, so should we be calling for them for our government elected and appointed officials. In a veritable stagnant economy like ours, we can't afford to give our tax dollars away just because a committee felt like it.
So, Maui voters, where is your outrage?

Tweet says BlackBerry Z10 will blanket the U.S. in a "few short weeks"
0. phoneArena 27 Feb 2013, 15:11 posted on
A tweet from the official BlackBerry account is putting a smile on the face of those in the U.S. who have been waiting for the launch of the BlackBerry Z10 in the country; the tweet also linked to a landing page which itself offered links to pages for Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile where you can leave your email to receive a notification when the BlackBerry Z10 can be the phone is available...

How dumb are you? I would not use a blackberry if they gave it to me and paid the bill! It's pure garbage!
2. nikenturd (unregistered)
People would rather wait for the Galaxy S IV. Who doesnt want a waay faster phone with a more robust ecosystem for the same price? BB is so doomed
The Z10's fifteen minutes of fame is over.
3. imkyle (Posts: 1073; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
It should have blanketed the US already.
4. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
it wont matter because most people have moved on from Blackberry. If this was made a year ago ,then it would show promise, but other than corporate people, I dont see the Z10 making a big splash in a heavy Android and iOS market
5. nikenturd (unregistered)
Exactly. No Offering . No WOW factor whatsoever....they may win few first time smartphone users but in No freaking way theyll gonna steal Android and iOS loyals....there's just no way....aint happening
6. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Im glad someone agrees with me!! Thx nikenturd
10. zarneguy (Posts: 4; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
Wow! so much hate for BB10. Customers should be glad that there is another platform to choose from. Wait.. there is another platform coming and it is "Firefox OS". Are you going to bash that too when it come out? Tell us, what OS has features like "balance" for personal and work use, "Hub" for central communication, "Screen sharing" function, integrated messaging and video. I owned a Gooogle Nexus4 , it's a good devise but in my opinion, Z10 is the best phone right now. Maybe next month or so, another great phone will come along and that would be cool. It will be good for us consumers.
8. apiskula (banned) (Posts: 578; Member since: 25 Jan 2013)
With all the phone options out there why in the hell would anyone purchase a blackberry. It is an outdated piece of garbage software and hardware.

I think a Blanket will be covering Blackberry in a few weeks... as in "it was too late to save it"

Ned Lang's response to Town of Tusten attorney Clemente
I believe it is Clemente who should reevaluate his understanding and expertise of our legal system, as he has been dead wrong in the prosecution of me over the past 18 months, and has now exposed this township and some of the town's officials to substantial liability. It was at the direction of Clemente that I was illegally arraigned and prosecuted when he knew that the town had no case against me, yet he persisted to prosecute and to bill the town, in order to execute his own vendetta and agenda. Even a septic pumper with a high school education has more common sense and knowledge of the law than Clemente when it comes to these two cases.
I have asked the town board to review all of Clemente's billings concerning the aforementioned cases and to ask Clemente for full reimbursement to the town for all his billings. Additionally, I have also incurred many thousands of dollars in legal expenses to defend my predominant right as an American, and I would suggest that the town also forward these costs to Clemente for reimbursement as he is the one who is solely responsible for such a terrible waste of time and money.

Oswego, NY -- Oswego fruit farmer Marc Greco has a different perspective on the terrorist attacks in New York City nearly 10 years ago.
He was a New York City police officer at the time and spent five straight days working in the city after the Sept. 11 attacks. So of course, he is elated that Osama bin Laden has been killed.
"It's a great day. He was the most wanted person for 10 years," he said. "It's a great thing."
For a few days after the attacks, Greco worked in a morgue filled with victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He lived in Goshen, Orange County, and was a lieutenant and squad commander in Harlem 10 years ago.
He was getting ready to go for a jog and then take his young son for a bike ride when his mother called him to say planes had crashed into the World Trade Center. He took his son, Gunner, for the bike ride and then he and a bunch of other officers headed for the city.
They were at work five days, went home to shower and change clothes, and then headed back to the city.
He retired in 2007 and bought a fruit farm in the town of Oswego. Today, he raises apples, pears and other produce and runs a corn maze for kids in the fall.
"It's about time we caught him," Greco said of bin Laden. "And I like that we did it ourselves. It's a good thing for the families that he finally got what was coming to him.
"It's always terrible when someone dies, but I don't think anybody's going to miss him," Greco said.

Mayor: Sequestration fund cuts could strangle city
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake calls emergency meeting Monday
Baltimore City officials are bracing for what could be a significant cut in funding thanks to the effects of the federal sequestration.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake assembled her cabinet for an emergency meeting on Monday to address the potential effects of the cuts. While the actual numbers haven't been announced, she's telling her staff to prepare for as much as a 9 percent reduction in federal aid.
The mayor said that kind of belt tightening will strangle the city.
"We cannot perform the services or provide the services that we need to our residents on this 'governance by crisis' mentality," the mayor said.
Baltimore City receives $192 million from the federal government to help balance its operating budget. Another $48.5 million helps with the city's capital budget.

Nashville, Tenn.
Having trained as a ballerina since she was seven years old, Ashleigh Morrow has been consumed with the ballet for most of her life. She discovered UT Martin's dance education program, a program unique in the state of Tennessee and an up-and-coming major at UT Martin, and knew that she would be able to pursue her dreams of one day opening her own studio.
As soon as she walked onto the UT Martin campus, she felt at home. After growing up in Nashville and studying ballet most of her life, Morrow was ready to pursue her college degree in a smaller town, where she knew she could focus on developing her dance skills without being overwhelmed by the competitive atmosphere of a big city.
"When I came here, I was able to express myself more and learn more styles," Morrow said. She continued, "I even created a hip hop piece. I came here for versatility."
While Morrow's concentration and passion remain focused on ballet. Around campus Morrow is often refer her to as "the ballet girl." The program has allowed Morrow to explore her interests in other styles of dance. From ballet to hip hop to contemporary, Morrow will be well versed in a variety of styles by the time she graduates. With her a diverse background in dance, she hopes to one day open her own dance studio.
This year over spring break, Morrow traveled to New York City with the dance ensemble where they participated in dance classes at a couple of dance studios in the city. It was there that Morrow was able to visit the dance studio that inspired her to continue dancing in college and want to one day open her own dance studio.
Of her dream, she said, "I really want to become a part of the Alvin Ailey Dance Academy in New York City." She continued, "It's a very diverse studio. We got to go to the school. Just even being able to stand next to the building was awesome. The whole experience was awesome."
After having the opportunity to see the dance studio she aspires to become a part of reaffirmed that Morrow is taking the right steps toward pursing her dreams.
"When I was younger, I tried everything, gymnastics, swimming... and dancing is what I liked doing the most. When I dance, it's like a relief. When I went to classes, I loved learning new things. I love performing. I love wearing my tutu. And when I came here and got to choreograph, I got to use my own thoughts, use my own costumes. I got to create what I wanted. I felt free, and it gave me the chance to be who I want to be. It's what inspired me to want to open my own dance studio or school for the arts one day."
Currently, Morrow is working on solo ballet routine she will dance in the fall semester dance ensemble performance, is teaching a class at the Stepz Dance Studio in Union City, and is a member of the Collegiate Dance Association.

Immortal Birdby Doron Weber
"Maybe I've finally beaten this thing, maybe three years' struggle will not have been in vain. Maybe this is finally over . . ." --from Damon's blog, May 2004 A FAMILY' S LOVE lies at the heart of this gifted boy's fight to survive. Born with a congenital heart defect that required surgery when he was a baby, Damon Weber lives a big life with spirit and independence that have always been a source of pride to his parents, Doron and Shealagh. But when Damon is diagnosed with a new illness as a teenager, his triumphant coming-of-age tale turns into a darker and more dramatic quest: his family's race against time and a flawed heath care system.Immortal Bird is a searing account of a father's struggle to save his remarkable son, a story of a young boy's passion for life, and a tribute to his family's love. It is also a story of the perils of modern medicine and the redemptive power of art in the face of the unthinkable.

Visiting Manchester from London
By Viator, June 2013
With regular high-speed trains taking just 2 hours and 20 minutes to reach Manchester from London, it's easy to escape the capital for the unofficial capital of the north (buses and domestic flights are other possibilities). While spending the night will allow you to sample Manchester's legendary nightlife, there's ample time to explore Manchester's many attractions on a day trip, and most trains arrive at the central Piccadilly station putting you in the perfect location for sightseeing.
Take a tour of the city center passing by the magnificent Manchester Cathedral, the John Ryland's University Library and the old industrial area of Castlefield, then choose from one of Manchester's many museums. The Imperial War Museum and the People's History Museum are both popular choices, whereas Manchester's National Football Museum is a must for any football (soccer) fanatic. A visit to the legendary Old Trafford Stadium is another treat for football fans, where you'll get to explore the Manchester United home ground and walk in the footsteps of famous players like Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and David Beckham.
Finally, a trip to Manchester isn't complete without a visit to the waterside Lowry complex, the crown jewel of modern Manchester. A vast complex of shops, theaters and cinemas housed inside a futuristic silver building, it's the perfect location for a post-sightseeing cocktail and a spot of last minute souvenir shopping before heading back to the train station.
