Guest Voice of Johnny Johnson: Focus on citizenship, not party labels
In President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, he delineated what his administration's goals will be in his second term as our leader.
To many, some goals were obscure, had no focus and don't represent the path that we should take as a nation. There is a great divide in our nation, with wealth, ideologies, the focus for the future, and the size and purpose of government being some reasons for the division.
Plans the president laid out should be pushed forward, corrected and debated to ascertain the best outcomes for us as a nation. I was not awed or disappointed by the support, the lack of support and the seeming disinterest by some politicians on both sides of the aisle (or do we now call it a chasm rather than a divide)?
I focused on a simple word that the president said that we don't hear much of today: citizen. I remember the times when the word "citizen" was more renowned than "Republican" or "Democrat." Citizen is not a label; it denotes a profound and sacred responsibility.
My love for research prompted me to look at this seldom-used word. I discovered that citizen is derived from the Anglo-Norman word citezein and the French citoyen. This is based on the Latin civitas, meaning people united in a city, community or in our world today, a nation.
According to these definitions, citizen is an all-encompassing term. During the course of the Great Depression, all citizens were affected. In Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, all citizens were affected. When we are faced with wars, we call upon all citizens to respond. When we are faced with catastrophic events, we call upon all citizens. When we reap the benefits of all that we do as a nation, our intent should be to share them with all citizens.
This word, citizen, has often been hidden and supplanted with the labels of our political parties. We are seldom asked if we are citizens. Rather, we are asked what political party we are affiliated with. Being a citizen conjures up a different mindset, a different perspective. Many who think of themselves as citizens first may be labeled with the antithesis of democracy, that of being a socialist.
We know that we have had in our history a status called "second-class citizen," which merely denoted the title of citizen without inherent benefits of a "first-class citizen." If you were labeled a "second-class citizen," you were not given the rights deemed inherent in first-class citizenship. To shed this term and to make America live up to the words written in its Constitution, a movement began "to make all one," which became known as the civil rights movement.
But if one is deemed a citizen, then what responsibilities are inherent in that citizenship? We know that in the words of the Founders, we are personally entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Citizenship is about responsibilities that have to be met, rather than about rights that could be claimed.
As a teenager growing up in the Cold War years, under the fear of a nuclear attack, when walls of communism divided a nation, the words of President John F. Kennedy captivated and inspired me and many in West Germany when JFK uttered the words "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner), denoting his perceived citizenship with them.
Now, 50 years later, we have a president setting forth the same premise. We as citizens are faced with growing cynicism, doubts and fears. We face walls that tend to separate us. Yet through it all, we can say we are Americans, citizens of the greatest nation on Earth.
We can only hold on to that cherished title and in its true expectations when we focus on the two greatest commandments. For one of them, a doctor of the law, putting Jesus to the test, asked him: "Master, which is the great commandment in the law?"
Jesus said to him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind." This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second is like it: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." On these two commandments depend the whole law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:35-40).

Plus Diagnostics is to co-market MDxHealth's ConfirmMDx™ prostate cancer test in the U.S. Plus is a U.S. anatomic pathology lab offering a range of multispecialty services. It will co-promote the assay through its national network of urologists.
"The national reach afforded by Plus Diagnostics provides a direct channel into the urology community and will aid in meeting the growing demand for our test," comments Jan Groen, MDxHealth CEO. ConfirmMDx will be carried out at the firm's laboratory at Irvine, CA, which achieved CLIA certification by the Centers for Medicare and Medicade in January.
ConfirmMDx for prostate cancer is a laboratory-developed epigenetic test designed to help identify cancer in men who have undergone a biopsy procedure and are shown to have an elevated PSA level, abnormal DRE, or BPH. The assay effectively represents a tool for assessing the presence or absence of cancer cells in biopsy tissue and identifies which patients won't need to undergo unnecessary repeat biopsies or excessive screening procedures.
The firm says the test can detect a validated epigenetic field effect associated with the cancerization process at the DNA level in cells adjacent to cancer foci. This molecular halo around the cancer lesion may not necessarily be detectable under the microscope.

Notre Dame hammers Church Point
CHURCH POINT – The Notre Dame Pioneers broke out the whipping stick Saturday, banging out a season-high 20 hits and 22 runs in a 22-2 shelling of the Church Point Bears in a District 5-AAA contest.
The game was halted after the fifth inning due to the mercy rule.
Notre Dame improved to 16-5 overall and 5-0 in league play with the victory. Church Point fell to 4-17 and 2-2.
The Pios set the tone for the game early, sending nine batters to the plate in a first inning that was highlighted by Bryant Gilbert's three-run home run to center off Church Point Starter Derek Dailey. Connor Goss also had a two-run double in the frame.
Mitch Corzine stared the second inning off with a double to center before scoring on a double by Gilbert. Gilbert scored on a double by Matt Savoie and Blaine Richard then drove in two runs on his first home run of the season, a line drive over the left field wall.
The Pios added four more runs in the third courtesy of one error, a wild pitch and a RBI single from Ryan Leonards.
Church Point's only two runs crossed the plate in the bottom of the third. Seth Thibodeaux walked to start the inning before scoring on a wild pitch. Blake Boudreaux reached base and scored on a pair of errors.
Notre Dame answered in the top of the fourth, sending 13 batters to the plate. The Pios scored eight runs on six hits, including a pair of two-run singles from Savoie and Philip Artall.
All nine of Notre Dame's starters logged at least one hit in the contest.
Gilbert led the way, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and five RBI while Savoie was also 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI.
Also collecting multiple hits for the Pios were Corzine (2-4, double, RBI), Ryan Leonards (2-4, RBI), Luke Bourgeois (2-3, double), Richard (2-2, home run, 2 RBI) and Pete Petitjean (2-3). Goss doubled and drove in two, Artall singled and drove in two while Paul LaCroix doubled and Ricky Stoma had a single.
Austin Robichaux picked up the victory, holding the Bears to just two runs (one earned) on one hit and six walks. He struck out 11 in five innings.
Boudreaux had the lone hit in the first inning for Church Point.
Notre Dame played West Feliciana in Rayne Monday, but results of that game were not available at press time.
The Pios will be in action again this evening when they travel to Eunice to take on St. Edmund in a non-district contest at LSU-Eunice's Bengal Stadium. First pitch is slated for 6 o'clock.

For the past 10 years, the R&B singer has been one of the most reliable punchlines in pop culture. His sex scandal inspired one of the best Chappelle's Show sketches of all time, while his "hip hopera" Trapped in the Closet took domestic melodrama to such heights of ridiculousness that most of its fans couldn't believe that Kelly was in on the joke. Add in songs like "Sex Planet," whose lyrics often speak for themselves, and the R. Kelly image was set: a cartoonish sex fiend unaware of how bizarre his ideas played outside his own fantasies.
A natural showman, Kelly doesn't seem to mind the stereotypes, but the storm of all of these crazy stories about the singer can obscure one very important fact: R. Kelly is very good at his job.
Fortunately, this year may mark the reversal of that trend. The first inkling that we were in for an R. Kelly renaissance came in January, when Kelly's dorm-room classic "Ignition (Remix)" celebrated its 10-year anniversary. Suddenly there were critical reappraisals, and even an ambitious campaign for the song to replace "The Star-Spangled Banner" as America's national anthem. For perhaps the first time, it was possible to talk about R. Kelly on the Internet without anyone cracking a joke about pee.
Then, this weekend, Kelly broke out a one-two punch of awesomeness. First, he showed up on Saturday Night Live to perform "Do What U Want," his ARTPOP duet with Lady Gaga. While Gaga vamped through the opening verse of the song like a Broadway diva, Kelly's entrance brought the performance into a lustier, more human place:
Then on Sunday night, Kelly made a featured appearance on Justin Bieber's latest Music Mondays track, "PYD," a smooth sex jam heavily influenced by Kelly's own work. After some Bieber crooning, Kelly's verse shows a fatherly pride; it's like he taught the young Canadian everything he knows.
If Kelly keeps this up, the "R. Kelly's sheets" joke in "Thrift Shop" may be the last one we get for a while.

"I am truly tired of seeing Demi Moore naked," said a disgruntled reader, who was not alone in voicing displeasure with the highest-paid actress in Hollywood (PEOPLE, June 24). There was a handful of admirers who praised Demi for her body, her career and her family.
I find it interesting that in all the reviews of Demi Moore's movies, the quality of her acting is never discussed—just the quality of her body. This may work for someone like Madonna, but after plunking down $7, one expects to see acting of at least acceptable quality. After all, T & A goes just so far.
JUDY PRATHER, Cincinnati
Any self-respecting woman in this day and age, with or without three kids, should have nothing but admiration and respect for Demi Moore. Show me an "unbuff mother of three" who despises her, and I'll show you a lazy, jealous woman who doesn't have the brass to get off her butt and do what it takes to make herself happy.
JULIE WEAR, Ventura, Calif.
Demi Moore is disliked by women because lots of us believe that her body has been surgically altered. She keeps trying to convince us that our breasts will get bigger and firmer and our tummies will get flatter if we just work out after having our kids. Demi thinks the American woman is a fool, when she is the real fool if she thinks anyone is buying her story.
JACKIE FLOYD, Oakland
"Demi's kids are always with her," Rita Wilson was quoted as saying. Those kids must be the most bored kids around, attending 3 hours of dance rehearsal, 2½ hours of yoga, sessions with their mom's personal trainer, reading scripts, and months of doing research in topless bars. There is no way in the world that Demi Moore spends that much time with her kids. Employing two nannies says it all.
NANCY BELL, LOS Altos, Calif.
I am sick and tired of everyone dogging out women who know who they are and where they're going. I'm the mother of three, and I'd give anything to be in Demi's shoes. Her determination and drive, accompanied by her ability to focus on the whole picture, makes her an outstanding leader and actor. She's totally awesome, and for those of you who can't stand it, tough cookies.
DEBBIE GAFFKA, Chandler, Ariz.
Bravo to Michael Wilkie for asking the Princess of Wales to dance! Boo, hiss to those who complain he was out of line—I hardly think a polite, friendly invitation to dance could be rude in any way. Besides, if she didn't want to dance, she could have said no.
MAGGY SHANNON, Knoxville, Tenn.
I find it extremely satisfying that someone of Di's stature would ignore protocol to make sure someone's feelings are not injured. I applaud Wilkie for doing what most men only dream about and for having the courage to go through with it. Congratulations, Wilkie, I'm sure it was an enjoyable trip around the floor.
MEL STONE, Woodbine, Md.
How could you tell us Joan Rivers gets a 20-carat sapphire with beautiful 2.5-carat side diamonds and then not print a picture of the ring? I couldn't care less about whom she is going to marry; I want to see the rock!
PHYLISS M. DUNLAP, St. George, Utah
I was inspired by Christy Martin's determination and strength. However, I was appalled that Mrs. Martin would ever discourage a daughter from playing sports because she is a girl. As a 14-year-old, I have never received any kind of discouragement in seven years of soccer playing because I am a girl. If girls shouldn't play sports, I guess men shouldn't be dancers or nurses either. Does this mother want to produce a timid housewife? Or is she afraid of stupid people who still think a woman's place is cooking, cleaning and tending to her children?
MAUREEN KELLEY, Camarillo, Calif.
Christy, as a female athlete, I beg you not to deny a daughter the reward and sheer pleasure of proving the men wrong.
JUDI GATES, Albuquerque
Thank you for your coverage of the Pediatric AIDS Foundation's annual carnival and picnic. It is nice to know that what Elizabeth Glaser began so many years ago has survived her.

ANDREA ELLIOTT, Topeka, Kans.

What Disneyland Means To A First Generation LatinaYolanda Machado
For as long as I could remember, the name Disney surrounded me. In what I watched, in what I wore, and even in how I spent my day outside of school. My sister and I would sit and watch Herbie movies or the latest re-release that my mom bought on VHS. My mother and grandparents were huge Disney fans, and they would often spend hours watching the same movies right alongside us. Every year, like clockwork, my family went to Disneyland.
Disneyland is the happiest place on earth, and I knew how lucky I was that we were less than an hour's drive away. The characters, the parades, the rides…the magic. It was probably the only time my sister and I would get along (well, for at least a few hours anyway). But there was something else about it, too. It wasn't just us kids that felt that magic. I saw it in my mother's eyes, and in my grandparents smiles. Disneyland stood for so much more.
My family immigrated from Peru to the United States in the late 60's. My mom was about 8 years old, and my grandparents were just entering their forties. It was a brand new world and everything was unfamiliar and different. Everything except Disney. My grandparents would tell me stories of going to the movie theater and paying pennies to see Mickey Mouse stories and staying there for hours until their parents came searching for them. They passed down their love of Disney to their four children, and my mom still can vividly recount to me the very first time she saw Fantasia back in Peru. Disney was comfort…Disney was home.
Disneyland opened a year after my grandparents had their first child, my uncle, and by the time my mom was five, she and her siblings knew all about Disneyland. In their house in rural Peru, just outside of Lima, they would imagine what a day at Disneyland would be. They talked about what it looked like inside, what characters they would meet, and plan their days just based on newspaper or magazines pictures they had found. It was a place of dreams and a promise of things that only their imagination could lead them.
Just before my 1st birthday, almost a decade after moving to the United States, was the very first time they all set foot inside Disneyland. It became our annual tradition, a place where we would go as a family and be united in wonder. Now that I am a parent, I take my daughter to Disneyland as much as I can. Because now I know what Disneyland meant to my grandparents, and to my mom and aunt and uncles. Disneyland is a place where who we once were as children will always live and a gateway to who we can be. It's a place of hope, for ourselves, and our children. It's a passport to live among magic for a day because Disneyland, just like the United States, is the land where dreams can come true.

Netflix recently updated their web player and it looks like a similar update has since arrived for those using the iOS app. The latest update, which brings the app up to version 2.2, is currently available in the iOS App Store. The app remains available as a universal with proper support for the iPhone and iPad and brings goodies to include general performance improvements as well as the ability to select the audio language (when available) and some enhancements to the user interface for the player. Bottom line here, those using Netflix on an iOS device will likely notice the changes when viewing a movie. Or more specifically, when trying to control a movie as the control bar is now noticeably different than before.

Real Madrid have fewer reasons to welcome in the new year than most. Trailing Barcelona by 16 points, Jose Mourinho's team faces a disconsolate second half to the domestic season and a far-from-straightforward path to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Win that competition, and the season will be considered a success. Fail, and even the consolation of the King's Cup won't smooth the ruffled feathers of Madridismo.
Mourinho has little power over the injuries that have undermined the domestic campaign, but he does have the opportunity to get some cover in January. Here are five areas of the field where Real could use a little backup.

Reggie Miller, the Indiana Pacers' superstar, was merely a major contributor in last night's game with the 76ers until a packed house at the First Union Center got him going with its mocking chants.
But when there are questions about an outcome, there's an answer, as Allen Iverson reminded the fans once again.
"The Franchise" poured in a game-high 37 points, including a three-point play with 1 minute, 4 seconds remaining, and backcourt mate Eric Snow scored on a running jumper in the lane with 26.3 seconds left as the Sixers posted an electrifying 103-97 victory in front of a frenzied sellout crowd of 20,623.

Arizona Diamondbacks' outfielder Justin Upton and right-handed pitcher Daniel Hudson have been named the Louisville Slugger 2011 Silver Slugger Award recipients for the National League at outfielder and pitcher, respectively, as announced by Louisville Slugger.
The award recognizes the players who were the best offensive producers at each position in both leagues as voted by Major League Baseball managers and coaches with selections based on a combination of offensive statistics, including batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, as well as the managers' and coaches' general impressions of a player's overall offensive value.
Upton, 24, and Hudson, 24, are the third and fourth players in D-Backs history to earn a Silver Slugger Award, joining outfielder Luis Gonzalez in 2001 and right-handed pitcher Micah Owings in 2007.
Upton hit .289 (171-for-592) with 105 runs scored, 39 doubles, 5 triples, 31 home runs, 88 RBI and 313 total bases in 159 games along with 21 stolen bases, a .369 on-base percentage, .529 slugging percentage and .898 OPS.

22 Baby Shower Gifts That Are So Wrong THEY ARE TOTALLY RIGHTJulianna Miner
A couple of weeks ago over at Rants from Mommyland, my good friend and part-time collaborator Claire Goss (also known as Guru Louise), came up with this great post about wildly inappropriate baby shower gifts she wanted to give her best friend. After we published our list, our readers left us some really good suggestions of things we'd forgotten about.
Here's the thing about this list; at first glance you will think that I'm kidding. I'm not kidding. Also, if you show up at a baby shower with this stuff, someone is going to give you the stink eye. But you know what? Your friend the new mom is actually going to need all this crap. And for every women who gives you the righteous sniff for giving something practical instead of a $90 embroidered toy bin from Pottery Barn Kids, there will be a wise mom in the corner, nodding in approval and giving you a mental high five.
And we already know that your friend the new mom is about to find out some stuff. And she will remember your gift with gratitude. And at next year's baby shower, she'll be the one handing out Panda Express gift cards and True Blood Seasons 1-4 on DVD. Mark my words.
Several bottles of Febreze. 1 of 22You might think it's a little rude or presumptuous to assume someone's house is going to be smelly. But really? You're presuming that it's going to be filled with dirty diapers and exhausted adults. It's not much of a stretch. So, one for the baby's room. One for the room where she feeds the baby because we all know the nursing chair is going to get a little funky. And of course, one for the hallway by the front door so she can frantically spray it before guests walk in as to make the house seem slightly less dirty.

Frozen Maxi Pads 2 of 22This is not even a joke and YOU KNOW IT. Tell her to pour a little witch hazel on them, throw them in the freezer when her contractions start and when she gets home a few days later from the hospital, WOW, do they feel good. Just warn Grandpa that they're in there before he goes looking for ice cubes for his celebratory whiskey. Also, a lovely Rants from Mommyland commenter informed us that Labor & Delivery nurses call these frozen wonders "twatsicles".
photo from: DrugStore.com with a lovely caption by me.
One handed food (and luke-warm drinks). 3 of 22Because you never think about it until you're trying to awkwardly hold a baby while attempting to eat spaghetti and not splatter it on them. You have no idea how important this is not just for your new mom friend, but her husband too. Lest he hand her a scalding hot cup of coffee and be all: "Why are you glaring at me, honey? Oh hey! Don't spill that on the baby!"
photo from: Wikipedia with a lovely caption by me.
So much Purell she'll think you're kidding. 4 of 22Trust us. People will want to touch the new baby and you don't know where those dirty bastards have been. It's perfectly OK for a new mom to stare at someone trying to touch their newborn with dirty hands like a crazy ass killer until they use it, and only then allow them access to your precious, mewling critter. That's totally normal, you guys. Keep one in the diaper bag and one in the car, too.
photo from: DrugStore.com with a lovely caption by me.
A programmable coffee maker. 5 of 22You know how nice it is to wake up after a long, exhausting baby-filled night to a fresh, hot cup of coffee made for you by a magical machine? It is beautiful. It's like an imaginary monkey butler made it for you. It's that special. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving.
photo from: HSN.com with a lovely caption by me.
D Batteries in bulk. 6 of 22For the swing and the bouncy chair, because that was the only place my baby slept for about 6 months and if the batteries wore out, I would've been willing to do anything to get those batteries changed as fast as possible so the kid WOULD JUST SLEEP. When I discovered that I had no batteries at 3am, I would have gladly traded favors behind the bowling alley to get my hands on some Duracells.

A swing with a plug. 7 of 22You could also just find a swing or bouncy chair that plugs into the wall. AAaaaaawwwww Yeah. It's crazy that I never bought one of those swings. I easily spent $500 on batteries because my 3 kids were in that thing a total of eleventy thousand hours.

Hemorrhoid cream. 8 of 22I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about why a new mom would need this one. But you have to agree with me that 1) she will need this and 2) if you give it to her at her baby shower, you would get probably pelted in the head with a peepee teepee by another guest for being an a-hole. Because that's not something any pregnant woman needs to think about. Shh shh. No no. Let's pretend I never said anything.

Nursing Tank Top. 9 of 22I know, you're thinking of the traditional tank top that unclasps at the top to reveal a boob. Those are super convenient and practical once you get the hang of nursing. But my boobs were so insanely sore tha, I just wanted to walk around topless for like 10 days straight. Super hot, I know. That's why I think new moms should just skip the nursing bras and tanks and wear a shirt like Rachel McAdams in the movie Mean Girls. You know what I'm talking about? Just cut out the whole are, not as hot as it sounds.

Her favorite show on DVD/Netflix Subscription. 10 of 22Your new mom friend is going to be spending a lot of time sitting and feeding the baby. Your gift will be very much appreciated. What's better during a 3AM feeding? Season 2 of Downton Abbey or an infomercial for Slushee Magic?
photo from: Amazon.com with a lovely caption by me.
Gift cards for dinner. 11 of 22A new mom, especially one who is nursing, will probably not want to cook but almost definitely will want to eat. Make sure that the place you choose has plenty of one handed food options.

Hospital grade baby nail clippers 12 of 22If you could also teach her how to use them, that would be awesome. You'd think I'd be good at cutting baby nails after three babies but no… I ended up accidentally hurting them and then we both cried hysterically. I usually waited for one of my (competent) mom friends to do it for me or for a trip to the pediatrician. I know.

Helping with the dog. 13 of 22Here's the thing, I love my dog. But my relationship with my dog underwent a severe transformation after my first kid was born. Plus, walking the dog in bad weather or when you have a fussy newborn is just a pain the ass. Then factor in the guilt from knowing that you're neglecting your beloved hound. It can be kind of a suckfest. So taking the dog to the park or for a long, happy walk is really a pretty awesome thing for you to do.

A really good dry shampoo. 14 of 22She'll thank you later. When she's averaging 3 showers a week and each one lasts about 5 minutes.

Three new laundry hampers. 15 of 22Trust me, you'll need them. After two months you'll be like - what are those things in that thing over there? Aaahhh yes. They are called drawers and they open and shut inside of a dresser. How quaint. We just use the hampers now and no one says anything. Or they get a pinch.
photo from: Amazon.com with a lovely caption by me.
Tiny flashlights. 16 of 22You know what sucks? A diaper change in the middle of the night that causes the baby to go from "ready to go back to sleep" to "ready to party like Amanda Bynes". Sometimes keeping the lights dim help, speeding the sleeping process.
photo from: Amazon.com with a lovely caption by me.
Carpet cleaner. 17 of 22I favor Nature's Miracle which is technically for animals. But really? Babies are critters. Critters make messes. This gets bizarre poo stains out of white carpet. Trust me, I know.

Ahem. Nipple cream. 18 of 22Just… Well, you know.

Pajamas that look like clothes/Clothes that feel like pajamas. 19 of 22Meet your new wardrobe for the next 8 weeks 6 months. Sad but true. I may or may not still be wearing my Old Navy roll-over yoga pants from 2008.
photo from: OldNavy.com with a lovely caption by me.
A Roomba. 20 of 22I don't have one of these things. But I want one so badly. A weekly housekeeper would also work, but I mean let's be honest not going to happen. If I could swing a housekeeper, it would be for MY HOUSE. But maybe you can find a cheap Roomba on Overstock or something. I hear they're life changingly awesome.
photo from: iRobot.com with a lovely caption by me.
The Peri Bottle from the hospital. 21 of 22Don't let her throw it away. My oldest kid is 9 and I still have mine. And I occasionally still use it. You never know when you might need that thing, ok? And good luck trying to find one at Walmart.
photo from: Friendly Medical.com with a lovely caption by me.
A six pack. 22 of 22I prefer Guinness. It helps a new mom relax and it helps with milk production. And after 36 weeks of abstaining, it will provide a very pleasant buzzy feeling.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Blair County commissioners said Tuesday that they resent the online comments Altoona City Councilman Dave Butterbaugh posted after the recent informational meeting about reassessment.
Butterbaugh, in postings on Facebook, questioned the informational meeting's focus on tax fairness while ignoring the county's future financial projections.
"The talk of all this tax fairness and fair share amongst other fallacies seemed to be the theme of the dog and pony show," Butterbaugh wrote in his online posting. "Why can't they just take a page from my playbook and just admit they're broke and out of money, as opposed to all this fair share talk?"
Commissioner Ted Beam Jr. said he heard a lot of good comments after the meeting set up to educate people about property assessments and the lack of fairness in their property tax bills. The meeting included a video, information from a study of property assessments and time for questions.
Beam said he resented Butterbaugh's reference to the meeting as "a dog and pony show" and to reasssessment as "a money grab for the county."
Butterbaugh, upon hearing of the criticism from commissioners during their weekly meeting, said Tuesday that his Facebook posting and follow-up comments were not meant to be derogatory.
"You can't assume tone when you read something on somebody's Facebook page," Butterbaugh said. "My reaction is logical, but if you read it with a negative tone, then you're going to think about it negatively."
Beam and fellow commissioner Terry Tomassetti said Butterbaugh was among the local leaders who came to them after the informational meeting and praised the presentation. So after reading the Facebook comments, Beam described Butterbaugh as "two-faced and phoney."
"It was a good presentation," Butterbaugh said Tuesday. "But online comments are different. You don't get tone when you read them. People assume that people are angry or derogatory."
In his Facebook posting, Butterbaugh said he favors being "honest about what's going on" and predicts that everyone's real estate taxes, over the next few years, will increase.
"It may stay revenue neutral at the beginning," Butterbaugh wrote, "but what they refuse to admit is, after that, it's a free-for-all for our money from every direction."
Butterbaugh also said the informational meeting included no information about the county's financial status.
"Why can't they say they're doing reassessment because they're broke," he wrote on Facebook. "If it's about fairness, then it would have been done a long time ago."
Beam described Butterbaugh's actions as unprofessional and irresponsible.
"Maybe you're auditioning for your own radio talk show," Beam suggested.
Commissioners will be up for re-election next year, but Butterbaugh said Tuesday that he is "absolutely not" interested in running.
Butterbaugh also referenced the exchange of Facebook comments with attorney Patrick Fanelli, who took the position that reassessment is about fairness. After several exchanges, Fanelli writes: "I'm glad my comments were understood as being in the respectfully disagreeable posture with which they were intended."
"So are mine because we're both right," Butterbaugh responded. "We could trade sides and start over on another post if you want."

In addition to Solid Waste services that come to your driveway each week, what if you had a place inside the City of North Port where you could take your own garbage, recycling, yard waste, and more? Currently, the City of North Port's Solid Waste trucks must drive outside the City's limits to a disposal site. On collection days, each City garbage truck travels 48 miles (which takes an average of 66 minutes) and each City recycling truck travels 35 miles (which takes an average of 54 minutes).
A Solid Waste Transfer Station and Environmental Business Park inside the City limits would cut down on travel time, save on gas, and create less maintenance on vehicles. An initial feasibility study shows this could create cost savings for the City of North Port. (Check out the agenda summary, PowerPoint presentation, and video from the June 29, 2012 City Commission workshop.)
The concept of an Environmental Business Park would create an associated commercial center in the same area of the Solid Waste Transfer Station for businesses that promote sustainability and focus on the environmental industry. For instance, a re-use store, a glass recycling business, or other type of business devoted to a green economy. This Environmental Business Park could create an economic incentive to attract these types of businesses to North Port and provide additional jobs.

The Politics of Privacy in Australia and Japan
Thursday, Thursday, July 26 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at
Akamon Sōgō Kenkyūtō Room 549, Institute of Social
Science, University of Tokyo, Hongo Campus, University
of Tokyo: http://web.iss.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cjg/contact/
Privacy is essential for democracy because
of its close connection to individual liberty, and the
protection of privacy has long been an important
political issue in democratic countries. The rapid
development of digital technology, which enables a
large amount of information to be transmitted quickly
across the world, has increased the difficulty of
protecting personal information from involuntary public
exposure and has made the protection of privacy even
more important for policymakers. To solve this
problem, governments in advanced industrial countries
have formulated and implemented policy for information
privacy protection.
In this talk, I will discuss the
development of privacy regimes in Australia and Japan.
After the issuance of the OECD Guidelines on the
Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal
Data, OECD member countries began to set up privacy
rules. In Australia, the federal government enacted
the Privacy Act of 1988, which established the Privacy
Commissioner to regulate only federal government
organizations. The Act was amended in 2000 and
private-sector organizations became subject to
regulation by the Commissioner. In Japan, the
government passed the Personal Information Protection
Act of 1988 that was only applicable to personal
information held by government organizations. The
rapid growth in the use of advanced digital networks
subsequently prompted the government to enact the
Personal Information Protection Act of 2004.
Through these processes, each government
has developed a privacy regime. The Australian privacy
regime has a government agency specialized in privacy
regulation, but it does not have a strong enforcement
power. In contrast, Japan's privacy regime has a very
fragmented structure where each government ministry
deals with privacy issues in its own jurisdiction.
Although each privacy regime prompts government and
private-sector organizations to improve privacy
protection, critics contend that both are inadequate in
comparison to the strong and extensive European Union
privacy regime.
The talk will explain the development of
each regime by using an analytical framework of the
confluence of four policy streams—international rules,
developmental policy, government reform, and human
rights—the politics of privacy.
Eiji Kawabata is an Associate Professor of Political
Science at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and a
Visiting Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at
Keio University. His areas of expertise include
Japanese politics, comparative and international
political economy, and comparative public policy. He
is the author of Contemporary Government Reform in
Japan: The Dual State in Flux (New York: Palgrave
McMillan, 2006). Currently, as an SSRC Abe Fellow, he
works on a project on the politics of privacy in the
Asia Pacific, focusing on Australia, Japan, South
Korea, and New Zealand.
The ISS Contemporary Japan Group provides
English-speaking residents of the Tokyo area with an
opportunity to hear cutting-edge research in social
science and related policy issues, as well as a venue
for researchers and professionals in or visiting Tokyo
to present and receive knowledgeable feedback on their
latest research projects. Admission is free and advance
registration is not required. Everyone is welcome.

Baseball America: Tigers farm system in bottom half
It's a familiar refrain over the last couple years since the Miguel Cabrera trade, but given the coming need for prospects, it's worth a mention. Baseball America's John Manuel wrote a piece for SI.com ranking the best and worst farm systems, and while he didn't assign a specific number to the Tigers, he ranked them in the 16-25 range. It wasn't among the five worst — that belongs to the Astros, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks and Nationals — but it wasn't in the top half, either.
"Top arms are green, and organization overall lacks athleticism."
Ouch, moreso about the latter than the former. Given the Tigers' well-known struggles developing position prospects, however, it isn't necessarily a surprise, Wilkin Ramirez and Casper Wells aside.
Look for more tomorrow on tigers.com on how the Tigers farm system factors into their dealings.
3 Comments
Overall athleticism. Now, those are the key words. Whatever happened to finding guys with speed and a few tools. Do you think maybe the Tigers need to find new scouts?
I don't think it's scouting so much as strategy. Keep in mind, Dombrowski talked at season's end about the need for better plate discipline throughout the Minors. Some of your best athletes, certainly those with power, tend to be some of your highest-strikeout hitters. Think Ramirez, Brent Clevlen, Cameron Maybin, even Wells (this year at Erie, at least).
Interesting word – athleticism. We truly could use a few more guys with all around goods.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
If you need a refresher, we received a groupie tale on the NFL rookie followed by a response letter from him (or his girlfriend, depending who you ask) saying that he is happily in love and taking shots at his previous baby mama in the process. In what may be the final chapter in the Tyrann Mathieu saga, we finally hear from his alleged "one night stand" baby mama. Read her letter below.
"Like I previously was stating my homegirl sent me the link of the story to tell me that he had referred to me as just a one night stand which truly baffles me. I met Tyrann in the 9th grade when I attended St. Mary's back in New Orleans and he was a year older than me going to St. Augustine in the same area. We were together off and on until his sophomore year in college at LSU. I supported him since we were younger and when he got a little bit of noteriety he just started acting different so I broke it off. We still remained close in contact and he still visited frequently and we still were sexually active. I had no knowledge of a girlfriend that he had until I actually saw it for myself.
He was lying to both of us but I don't care how famous you are, I can't put up with the blatant disrespect and b******* that he comes along with. I know him and all his family and we are all still friendly. One of many visits we were out having a good time and one thing led to another 9 months later I had my son Noah Thomas. Tyrann called me all kinds of names I will not speak of and told me he wouldn't do anything for his child he didn't care. He said he needed a blood test and even after that he still doesn't see him.
My child is 1 year old and Tyrann showed up at his 1st birthday party, I guess to just say he came and post pictures on his instagram, which were later deleted. My son doesn't even know who he is which is sad but my brother is raising him as his own so I'm so grateful. I don't have any hatred in my heart for Tyrann but he is an evil person and nothing good will ever come to him if he continues to go down that path. I don't have him on child support I allow his family to see my son his sister, mother, and brothers. I heard that he has a 2nd son Tyrann Jr. but I hope he loves and takes care of him like he should my son. God doesn't sleep though so I leave it in his hands.
He has tried to get back with me several times over the past few years but I'm smarter than I was and everything that looks good on the outer, is shadowed by his spirit on the inner. He isn't who he portrays like most men but I won't slander his name. He isn't a good father to his child and he needs to take responsibility for that. Sending materialistic things don't amount to the countless events that he has missed. I'll never deny him his child but this truly takes the cake to say I was just a one night stand and he doesn't regret it? I should be the one regretting I ever wasted my time. I feel sorry for the new girl because I see some of the old me in her she's stupid in love but those 2 don't mix very well. I will keep both of them in prayers because I do feel as if she wrote that info. I know how he writes and it's not even close. Thanks for your ears."
Woooo lord she said a mouthful and for some reason I believe every single word. Of all the tea I've ever heard on Tyrann Mathieu, he seems like the type to be arrogant long before he was even drafted to the NFL. Karma is paying him back in the form of a torn ACL, though. Those checks don't last long when you're riding a bench, honey.
Views: 8952
Ol girl kept it 110% real. *Sips tea, nods head*...
I believe her too.
Yeah, she was not part of their story and should never been brought up but since she was and since HE/HIS GIRLFRIEND want to deny her, she put all that s*** out there

PAMPA - A Gray County grand jury handed down a sealed indictment last week against the mother of a 4-month-old Pampa child who died in Amarillo on Dec. 21, 2000, according to 31st District Attorney Office records.
Connie Lerma, 19, was arrested Friday on charges of injury to a child and remains in jail on $50,000 bond, according to Gray County Sheriff Don Copeland. The first degree felony carries a penalty range of five to 99 years or life in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Rosa Matice died Dec. 21, 2000, in the pediatric intensive care unit at Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo, according to Globe-News files. On Dec. 19, 2000, her parents - Connie Lerma and David Alan Matice, of 432 N. Wynne St. in Pampa - went to a neighbor's house to call an ambulance, reporting the child was choking.
The preliminary autopsy indicated the child died as a result of blunt force trauma to the brain, according to earlier reports from 31st District Attorney Rick Roach.
Roach was unavailable for comment Monday.
Rosa Matice was originally taken to Pampa Regional Medical Center and was later transported by Lifestar helicopter to NWTH, Globe-News files state. The doctor who examined Rosa Matice at NWTH saw injuries inconsistent with choking, files state.
As required by law, the doctor called Child Protective Services, which in turn called the Pampa Police Department. Investigators searched the house where the child lived and questioned medical personnel at NWTH, files state.

Rosalind Nashashibi
Region: North West
Rosalind Nashashibi's film 'Lovely Young People (Beautiful Supple Bodies)' was made with Scottish Ballet. The compelling film projection features dancers, engrossed in private rehearsal when members of the local public walk in and stand awkwardly around them. The experience is mesmeric for both dancers and intruders, twinned together in an energetic performance.
'A New Youth', created for the Northern Art Prize, includes a tree displaying a photograph of a denim-clad crotch of indefinite sex, and a large cartoon illustration of Mickey Mouse's hands in a familiar Buddha gesture. With one hand pointing up and the other down, Buddha/Mickey's gesture seems to accept more than one path, or in fact more than two, as the reduction of the human condition to simple dichotomies is in question when the tree itself seems to be wearing its ambiguous sex in mid-metamorphosis. This work echoes an earlier installation made by Nashashibi during the revolutionary uprising in Cairo reflecting on the role of male youth in a post 'Arab Spring' world.
Nashashibi's new print work locates masculinity in a particularly literal place. 'Monster Walk' comprises nine unique prints on paper, made by putting men's jeans and underwear through a printing press, leaving the paper inked and in places worn through with the stamp of every stitch and crease of the fabric. Often the jeans rise up from the ankles as far as the thighs and then stop, to reveal a white expanse at the top of the leg, and the underwear is exposed. These halved figures invoke the crude and absurd nature of bodies and things, through their exaggerated crotches, their intimacy with the body and their trace of the real object; and in this last aspect they bear a resemblance to film and photographic processes.
Artist Talk: Tuesday 16 April, 6pm Rosalind Nashashibi will be in conversation with her nominator Sally Tallant (Director, Liverpool Biennial). Tickets are £5 (£3 concessions) on the door. Reservations can be make at Leeds Art Gallery on 0113 247 8256 .
Biography: Rosalind Nashashibi, born 1973, studied at Glasgow School of Art (MFA Fine Art), Sheffield Hallam University (BA Painting) but now lives and works in Liverpool. In 2003, Nashashibi won the Beck's Futures prize, the first woman to do so, for 'The State of Things'. She has had solo shows at Bergen Kunsthall, Norway; ICA, London; Berkeley Art Museum, California; Tate Britain, London and Harris Lieberman, New York.

Hi Mark,
Here is my -very biased- answer:
I am the main author behind GDCM. GDCM is a DICOM implementation
which mostly focused on the visualization part of DICOM. Used in
conjunction with ITK & VTK (=Osirix), you should be able to create
nice applications as listed on this page. Of course you need to know
VTK to make quick progress.
You are welcome to join the GDCM mailing list and check how much
time and effort the other spend learning GDCM / VTK / ITK

You may enjoy increased agility today as you participate in physical activities. Grace and strength might seem to flow through your body, which could benefit you in everything from athletic competitions to social dancing. Another great way to apply this mind-set is by allowing heavy, sluggish energy to be burned off as you move your body. Inner blockages, fear, pain, doubt, and even anger can all be channeled through the motion of your body, leaving you feeling cleansed both physically and mentally. As you move your body today, simply imagine any undesirable qualities being dislodged and transformed into energy, and see this energy exiting your body effortlessly. Affirm that you release these qualities with joy and thanksgiving for the lessons they have brought into your life, and allow them to move on to their next destination in the universe.
Using physical activity to release emotional build-up helps us release inner blockages and empower ourselves with a healthy new mind-set. Just as negative thoughts and turbulent emotions can cloud our thinking, they can also make our bodies feel sluggish and heavy. By moving our bodies with an intention to burn off detrimental energy, we can raise the frequency of our vibrations and free ourselves from limiting beliefs. Not only does this make us feel lighter and happier but we are empowered with the knowledge that we can choose how we feel both mentally and physically. Through the magic of movement, you can release any unwanted emotions and embrace a new lightness of being today.

All six Ravalli County state legislators recently met with 10 small business owners and managers to listen to their concerns and hear their thoughts regarding economic opportunity and struggles in Ravalli County. The businesses participating included Ironhaus Manufacturing, Bitterroot Tool & Machine, R & R Conner, Lakeland Feeds & Supply, Selway Corporation, Glacier Tool & Die, and Huls Dairy.
The purpose was to gather information firsthand "from the folks with the boots on the ground," according to Ed Greef, Representative from HD 88. Legislators wanted to hear concerns, issues, obstacles, suggestions for changes, any and all topics that the legislators could work to resolve.
This was new territory for both groups as neither had done a roundtable discussion quite like this before, said Greef. He said a cautious start quickly became a comfortable atmosphere that led to lots of enthusiastic discussion with open and frank sharing by everyone. The efforts of Julie Foster, of Ravalli County Economic Development Authority, were gratefully recognized for bringing the business group together.
Some issues identified included difficulty with state regulations regarding employee termination and complications from medical marijuana in the workplace; personal property taxes on new buildings and equipment are difficult to maneuver through; internet sales tax threatens small and home based businesses; internet speed and access is still an issue in a lot of areas in the valley; more career ready, vocational and agricultural school programs are needed; Workers Comp continues to be an issue with rates and wrongful claims; and young adults need better training in real life skills.
Community leaders and state legislators working together can make improvements in the Ravalli County and Montana business climate, said Greef. For example, in the last legislative session big improvements were made with workers comp in both rates and claim time limits. He said more can be done next session. Education curriculum changes, more two-year tech training options, and more focus on career ready training will benefit businesses with workforce issues.
The legislators met again to discuss additional research and follow up actions needed to achieve workable solutions to the issues discussed. They will continue to draw on the knowledge and experience of the business leaders who participated in the roundtable and others as necessary. The legislators will meet monthly to ensure the issues are kept front and center and momentum is not lost even during the busy campaign session, Greef said.
The legislators welcome all interest and questions and will be happy to follow up personally. In addition to Representative Greef, other legislators participating included Senators Scott Boulanger and Fred Thomas, Representatives Nancy Ballance, Pat Connell and Ron Ehli.

Linda is a 32-year-old single mother to four school-aged children.
She worked full time at a carpet company until it closed. Linda graduated from high school but completed only two semesters of college, which made it difficult for her to find work. She went to the Urban League of Essex County, where she applied for the agency's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
Single mother's initiative and zeal lead to full-time work and a path to college
She spent two years in the program, working toward self-sufficiency. Moved by Linda's passion and enthusiasm, an instructor at the agency reviewed her résumé.
After completing several career assessments, Linda was offered a paid internship position with the Urban League of Essex County through AmeriCorps. The full-time position includes educational incentives, which will allow Linda to finish college and receive a stipend.
The Urban League of Essex County is one of several social service agencies to benefit from donations made to the Greater Newark Holiday Fund.

The World's Largest Car Seat Check
It's a sobering statistic: car crashes are the leading cause of death for children under the age of 13. At the root of the issue are car seats that aren't properly installed. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, the risk of death can be reduced by nearly three-quarters for infants and more than half for toddlers when children are riding in properly installed car seats. 360PR client Dorel Juvenile Group, maker of the Safety 1st brand of car seats and more car seats worldwide than any other company, wanted to help.
Our Approach
The solution? A hands-on parent education campaign that got underway with the World's Largest Car Seat Check at – of all places – the Indy 500. Most people don't associate racecar driving with child safety. But, in its quest to make riding in the back seat safer, Dorel and Safety 1st formed an innovative partnership with Bald Spot Sports, maker of racing seats used by professional Indy car drivers. This unexpected testing ground led to the next generation of car seat safety: AirProtect™, Dorel's proprietary side impact protection technology.
The Results
Dorel deployed 50 child passenger safety technicians, all Dorel employees, to check car seats at the Indy 500 Community Day, which drew thousands of families to the speedway. Dorel's technicians identified 30 seats that did not mean today's safety requirements and replaced them, at no cost to parents, with Safety 1st Air Protect car seats. 360PR leveraged the event to put car seat safety in the national spotlight with coverage by CNN, Fast Company, Popular Mechanics and dozens of parent-directed outlets.

Hey everyone!
Basically I've been revising for my upcoming french oral, and i'm happy with most topics (sort of, hate orals lol)
But I realised we haven't done anything in class about 'les nouvelles technologies' and i've just done a bit on it because it's on revision sites. However it's not even mentioned on the main French A2 page for our college. Is it even a topic studied with WJEC?
Thanks, and good luck to everyone else doing it!

|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
I read somewhere that it was, but we've been taught next to nothing about it in my college!
I'd assume it's just stuff like iPods and Twitter and the like. I don't think we've been taught anything about it either.
There's an examiner's report from 2009(when the syllabus was different) and there was an essay in the written paper on Les nouvelles technologies back then. The report says:
L'importance des nouvelles technologies: here anything to do with new technology could have been discussed. Many went for the Internet, mobile phone, Mp3, iPod and so on but many of these answers were 'generic' rather than specific to France… but adventurous candidates decided to discuss l'énergie nucléaire, les découvertes en médecine, les nouveaux transports, many relating these specifically to France.
So if that still applies, then it doesn't sound too bad.
It may be that it used to be a topic, but isn't any more(hence why it would still be included in textbooks).
Since it isn't specifically on the list of topics in the current specification, I wouldn't worry too much.

An African- American slang term describing someone who lacks skill to perform a certain activity. The word "Poof" is derived from the Perrine 'hoods of Miami, Florida. It is mainly used to describe individuals who are terrible in sports, such as a Wide Receiver who can't catch a pass, or a point guard that has handles like a baby.
