Taoiseach transcript…
Mary Minihan
Obviously it's almost impossible to separate what Taoiseach Brian Cowen said this morning from how he said it. However, posting a transcript here:
[Taoiseach Brian Cowen interviewed by Cathal Mac Coille on RTE's Morning Ireland]
CMacC:…Taoiseach, good morning.
BC: Morning Cathal.
CMacC: And thanks for coming over before your breakfast. Now, we all expected €3 billion of cuts one shape or other in the budget now we hear it may be more, what's going on?
BC: Well there's nothing going on…The Minister for Finance is clarifying the fact that €3 billion is at least the figure we have to deal with and I think from our point of view what the whole estimates campaign will be about is as they begin now as he speaks to ministers in dealing with that issue and ensuring that the markets are very clear and the European Commission and our own electorate are very clear that this is the range of adjustment that has to be dealt with.
CMacC: But right now as you know first of all you have an electorate who are just really worried and depressed about the way things are going and they expected this figure of €3 billion. You have the markets, you have Brussels, you have the IMF criticising the Government for not being more specific about what's coming, and in the middle of all this the Government says well €3 billion is indicative, it might be more, it might be the same. So I mean are you just softening us up or what's going on?
BC: No well I think it's important and we've been discussing this yesterday and today here at our own think-in I mean to recognise the strengths of the Irish economy as well as we try to ensure that we deal with the fiscal problem. I mean there's no question but that any government in Ireland has to close the gap between what's being spent and what's coming in from taxpayers. It's not a sustainable position and people understand that actually and know it, but what I've been emphasising and what we've all been emphasising is the strengths of our economy. What's the place upon which we can grow and recover? And the real issue for us has been, having dealt with this sort of economic tsunami in 2008 and 2009 we've stabilised the situation. Our budgetary plans are on target.
CMacC: We don't know what they are. It was going to be €3 billion. Now it might be more.
BC: No, I think…
CMacC: …You know about the need for certainty and you know about the difficulties in relation to Anglo Irish Bank and here you are, your finance minister, coming in and opening the door to who knows what? Could be €3 billion, could be €4 billion.
BC: With respect the media are getting into word games here and it's important that we avoid them. What we're talking about is dealing with the EU plans we have to cut our deficits in line with what we've said and as Brian Lenihan has been saying the minimum of what we're talking about is €3 billion.
He's now entering an estimates campaign with his ministers…he's setting out very clearly the seriousness of our intent. And should there be any doubt about either at home or abroad that this government is not committed to dealing with the parts it has agreed, he's making it very clear that we will deal with it.
CMacC: Would you like to, would you like to cut more if you could?
BC: Well unfortunately I've been looking at the Fine Gael policies as far as I can decipher it and others indeed and they were suggesting that the adjustment would be on the expenditure side totally.
CMacC: Would you like to cut more than €3 billion if you could, if that was feasible?
BC: Look we will do whatever is necessary to ensure that fiscal stability is returned to the country over a period of time. It won't be done overnight, this year's budget will not solve the problem in any event, in terms of whether it's €3 billion or €3.1 billion or €3.2 billion or anything else and I think it's important that people will understand that for every €5 we're spending we're taking in €3 in exchequer returns.
CMacC: …Can you rule out anything? Can you rule out €4 billion?
BC: We're not talking about adjustments of that nature what we're talking about is ensuring that people understand that this government is determined to meet the agreements it has reached with the European Commission and to do so in a way that is credible and is making sure that we…
CMacC: …are we talking €3 – €3.5 billion?
BC: Cathal, you're long enough in the game to know that when we're starting our estimates campaign the Minister for Finance is making it very clear that the €3 billion is not an illusory figure it is the basis upon which we're going to discuss…
CMacC: And it won't be 4?
BC: I don't expect it will be four billion no but I don't want to be anticipating or pre-empting discussions which are about to take place between ministers.
CMacC: One of the key elements of the Government's strategy, the Croke Park Agreement, was criticised earlier in the programme by Leo Varadkar, who said that very little had been done to implement it. When are we going to see the kind of flexibility, the mobility, the big changes in the way the civil service, public service, works that that agreement promised?
BC: Well what's going to happen now of course is, what people need to know is for next year we're beginning discussions…what we have to do is align the estimates campaign with the industrial relations agenda. And what that'll involve is where every department is setting out a [unclear] on the amount it'll be able to have next year. It will be dealing with its on management and its own personnel and its own staff over coming months explaining that simply we have to get more from less, we want to avoid impact on those who…it's during the course of this estimates campaign that we'll be ending up with the situation where the allocations that will be made will require the implementation in many respects of the Good Friday of the, ah, sorry, the Croke Park Agreement, which is about redeployment, which is about better work practices…
CMacC: When will that happen, next year?
BC: Of course, it begins next year, we signed the agreement in June.
CMacC: A couple of things in relation to yourselves and the Greens. One is in the revised programme for Government, the agreement to bring in legislation on corporate donations. Have you reached agreement with them? When are we going to see it?
BC: Again that is, that is legislation that is in place or sorry that's legislation that's in preparation. The whole question of dealing with that is under consideration…[unclear]…as normal in seeing what way we can address this issue.
CMacC: Are corporate donations going to be banned as the Greens have said they want and given that it's in the programme for government?
BC: As I say the legislation, if you look at the programme for Government it's on the basis of what can be achieved based on that issue and we will deal with it in the normal way.
CMacC: Alright so you can't say anything certain about it in other words even though it's in the programme?
BC: Government decisions will be made based on the programme for government.
CMacC: Right. The byelections…more likely than not towards holding the byelections and the children's rights referendum and the mayoral election for Dublin on the same day next year?
BC: The children's rights referendum and the mayoral election and the byelections issue, these are not sort of convergent issues. These are issues that will be dealt with based on their own merits. The children's referendum issue, we have a report from the committee involved, a lot of detailed work has to go into that as to how we can deal with it and what way we deal with it…It shouldn't be assumed that all these matters can be handled and they're a fait accomplis in terms of the amount of work that has to be done on them.
CMacC: Did you ever think by the way of going to John Gormley and saying I know you think this is a good idea but come on, another mayor, another car, another office, another set of executives around them – this is not the time, we'll be slaughtered.
BC: Well I mean the issue on that is again it's a programme for government commitment. The legislation in preparation, discussions take place at cabinet and we'll discuss it further, and there has been discussion going on between Fianna Fail ministers and the Green Party on that issue in the context of local government reform generally.
CMacC: You think it's a great idea?
BC: The Government is committed to that proposal in the programme for government and like any other commitment it has to be dealt with on that basis.
CMacC: Is it a great idea?
BC: I think it is a good idea if you can bring together a co-ordinated mayoral position that would deal with the whole planning and other issues right throughout the Dublin city and county.
CMacC: Final question Taoiseach, we spoke earlier in the programme to people who voted Fianna Fail in the last election. Some of them will vote for you again some of them absolutely wouldn't. One of those who wouldn't was a young person in Galway who said 'I've no future as a result of what they've done. I've just graduated, I've no job prospects. I'm just wandering around the streets of Galway'. Now they don't all have degrees but there are over 400,000 of those people…What can you say to the 400,000 of those people who see no prospect short of emigrating..?
BC: No there is hope for the future Cathal. The whole purpose of our budgetary policy is to stabilise the situation after the economy contracted by nine per cent in 2009. We've stabilised the situation this year and we have prospects of growth being spoken about not only by the ESRI but by international people like the IMF and others. This country will get back on track. There are no soft option politics available to us.
Yes there are difficulties ahead but I want to assure him and others, that person that you've…
CMacC: It was a her, yeah…
BC: Excuse me. The person you were speaking about herself and others. Yes there is a future for this country on the basis of growth on the basis of recovery on the basis of doing what's necessary.
CMacC: On the likely maths she might as well emigrate…
BC: Defeatism Cathal will not solve this problem whether it's in your organisation or anywhere else. Defeatism will not get us out of this situation. What will get us out of this situation is preparedness by a government to do what's necessary to get this country back on track. Yes there will be cutbacks, yes there will be things that will have to be done, there will be new ways we have to deliver services. We all have to get in behind it and make sure we do it because it's exactly about that by the way it's about how we secure our kids future. That's why we have to go ahead and do what we have to do.

Life and works
Although Shakespeare is probably the most famous writer in the world, relatively little is known about his life. Shakespeare's birth is traditional celebrated on 23 April. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon. His father was a glove maker and his mother came from a prosperous family. He was probably educated at the local grammar school. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway. He later became a member of a theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men and then he became a member of the syndicate which built the Globe Theatre. As a poet he wrote a collection of 154 sonnets and two long poems. As a playwright he wrote 37 plays, which were popular with both educated and common William Shakespeare
audiences alike.
The plot
The Montagues and Capulets, the two most important families of Verona, are bitter enemies. Romeo, the son of Lord Montague, goes to a masked ball given by the Capulet family and he falls in love with their daughter Juliet. Continua »

Just when it seemed the Cleveland Browns' season could not get any worse, the Jacksonville Jaguars came along. After losing to what many considered to be the worst team in the NFL at home, the Browns are left with more questions than answers and more regrets than memories.
The 2013 season looked as though it could be step in the right direction for the downtrodden franchise, but now, the Browns find themselves in a familiar spot. They are dead-last in the AFC North and playing some of the worst football in the NFL.
Apathy is beginning to set in among the fan base, and it is a sad state of affairs in the city of Cleveland.
The big picture can often be hard to see when you are in the midst of losing. The problem, however, is that the big picture is much less in focus this week than it was before Week 11. At that point, the team was in position to potentially make the playoffs and had an elite defense. Now, they are playing for pride and giving up 32 points to the Jaguars.
As tough as it was to watch, many in Cleveland still did. Here are some takeaways from the Browns 32-28 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Q. Is Okinawan an actual language or a dialect of Japanese?
A. Some linguists say the Okinawan language is an independent language because it was separated from the Japanese language long ago and has distinct phonological differences. However there is a fact that it is derived from the Japanese language. The Okinawan language has roots in ancient Japanese, which has been recorded in Kojiki (the oldest historical work existing in Japan) and Manyoushu (the oldest anthology of poems). Therefore some say it is one of the dialects, Ryukyu dialect, though it sounds very different from the other dialects.
The Ryukyu (the former name of Okinawa) kingdom, which had its own culture,
existed from the beginning of the 15th century. It was the trade center between Japan,
China and South East Asia and was influenced by many foreign countries. It was
an independent kingdom until 1879, then the Japanese government annexed Ryukyu into
Japan as the Okinawa prefecture. In 1945, Okinawa was occupied along with the rest of Japan,
and kept under American administration until 1972.
"Uchina" means Okinawa. "Uchinaguchi" is the Okinawan dialect (Ryukyu language) and the people who speak "uchinaguchi" are "uchinanchu".
Most of the younger generation in Okinawa can't speak uchinaguchi and they are not willing to learn it. Okinawa has such a unique culture and beautiful language. It will be very sad if the language and culture die.
To explore more about Uchinaguchi:
Learn more about other dialects (hogen).

With new roads, new residents and new businesses flourishing east of the Cooper, it is time to give the Moultrie News a new look. After all, we're turning 50 and need a new look for the next new chapter. We're updating our masthead, as we have done periodically since 1964.
What exactly is a masthead, you ask? It is the publishing term for the banner at the top of the newspaper's section fronts that includes identifying information such as the name of the publictaion, the date and the location.
Since the Moultrie News first rolled off the press all those years ago, the East Cooper population has grown and evolved, and so too has the role and the value of the Moultrie News.
Today there are 43,000 people reading the print edition of the Moultrie News each week. That's in addition to approximately 80,000 page views per month on our website at www.MoultrieNews.com.
We'd like you to help us make that decision because we know that the vote really belongs to our loyal readers.
The staff of the Moultrie News narrowed down the masthead options from 12 to 4. Visit www.MoultrieNews.com/masthead to vote or mail in your ballot which is on page 14A this week. Voting will remain open for four weeks.
Hurricane Hugo destroyed much of our archives and we are asking readers to look and see what they have to help us show the progression of the paper. We are looking for old papers, cut outs, pictures etc. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Moultrie News was started in 1964 as a tabloid shopper by Carl Meynardie, who was the publisher of the Hanahan News. He ran the paper for eight years. In 1972 the Moultrie News was bought by Charles Diggle and J.C. Long. When Long died in 1987, Charles Diggle bought the Beach Company's interest in the Moultrie News, and the Diggle family ran the paper for 11 years before selling it to the Evening Post Publishing.
Vickey Boyd was named publisher in April 2002.

Miami's homeless greatly in need of a helping hand
Carla St.Louis | 2/13/2014, 9 a.m.
The ACLU stepped in on behalf of the men, and after a decade of litigation with the City, both parties settled on the Pottinger rights, a set of laws that protect the homeless population from being criminalized by police officers.
Over two decades later, the Miami City Commission upped their ante against the homeless community on April 9 of last year when members unanimously voted to pursue ratifying the Pottinger.
Is homelessness an economic development issue?
Modifying Pottinger was largely planned by the City in partnership with its development authority and garnered support from Mayor Tomas Regalado to re-energize the city's lucrative downtown district.
"The City was attempting to eliminate what they saw as the unsightly and annoying presence of 300-400 largely chronically homeless persons in downtown Miami," said Waxman.
"Civic leaders have to balance the needs of the homeless — especially the chronically homeless with the needs of the general population," said Boone. "In this instance, the City of Miami is attempting to address the issue depending on the current climate."
"This will allow the city to grow like other cities that don't have Pottinger," said Miami City Commission Chairman Marc Sarnoff, who also directs the Downtown Development Authority, which fought for the changes.
The City argued that Pottinger was out-dated citing it had grown while the number of homeless residents dwindled. Countywide homeless numbers have dropped from about 8,000 to 800 due to the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust (MDCHT) — an outfit that was created to resolve the City's escalating number of homeless people.
MDCHT announced a strategy for caring for the chronically homeless that includes getting to know them, providing homes, and tracking their efforts. The "100,000 Homes" campaign works in partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development with the goal of ending chronic homelessness by 2015.
"It's a relatively new strategy of first addressing the homeless populations need for housing not necessarily shelters but apartments, and then addressing the other causes of homelessness like unemployment, substance abuse, addiction, mental illness, lack of education and inadequate access to benefits," said Waxman. "Previously, agencies would attempt to establish rehabilitation plans for homeless persons who — through compliance — would 'earn' housing."
Prior to the approval by U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno, the Miami City Commission must approve the modified settlement drafted by ACLU and the City for it to become law.
If you are homeless in Miami you may file written objections to the proposed changes by February 14th with the Clerk of the U.S. District Court at Courtroom 13-3, 400 North Miami Avenue, Miami 33128. A public hearing on the proposals is scheduled for February 28th at 10 am in Courtroom 13-3.
The settlement between both parties allows the City to revisit Pottinger in 2016 if the homeless issue remains a problem downtown.

The Raveled Sleeve of Chanel
A few months ago, as spring clothes were just trickling into stores, a friend visiting from London described with great relish a dinner she'd had at a private club with a trio of young Richie Riches and their chic wives. "And what were the women wearing?" we asked, visions of slashed McQueens and floaty Stellas and clown-princess Gallianos dancing in our heads. Our friend snorted. "All three of 'em had on Jimmy Choos, jeans, and ratty Chanel jackets."
The penchant to pair a tweedy, boxy Chanel jacket, real or pretend, with a pair of artfullyand artificiallyfaded jeans, it turns out, is an international predilection, a craze so virulent that fashionweekdaily.com has proposed adding faux-nel to the dictionary: "Faux-nel: /FO-nelle/ n. A suspiciously chic tweed jacket that looks like a Chanel, but on closer inspection is actually made by another, less expensive brand."
The rather class-ridden appeal of this style, we suspect, relies on having people think your Chanel has been handed down from Granny or borrowed from Mumsy or, at the very least, bought at Chanel proper, where such garments are sellingand selling outat $2,800. But all is not lost if you aren't an heiress and you absolutely must participate in this trend (we ourselves have mixed feelings . . . ). Head at once to ZARA (101 Fifth Avenue), where the best reproductions turn up: A jacket sporting one of Coco's trademark fabric flowers is $169; an entire coat in white tweed that would be Easter-ish but for its raveled hem is $225; and the real star, a deliciously decomposing jacket in shades of purple and with the added fillip of interwoven metallic threads, costs $189.
At ARDEN B (104 Fifth Avenue), a store we have always associated, perhaps unfairly, with a super-anorexic Sex and the City wannabe clientele, we find a genuinely nice artificial Chanel for $138, in apple green or pearl pink, that features not just artfully disintegrating tulle trim but innovative sequins enlivening the nubbiness. Though it's difficult to turn up a fake Chanel for under $100 (jackets require a lot more labor than miniskirts or souvenir tees), there is nevertheless a white, pink, and purple ersatz-Chanel jacket currently languishing on a stuffed rack in the back of H&M at 558 Broadway for $49.90. For some reason, all of its seams have been properly finished, depriving the wearer of that ratty-edged grace. (The only loose threads are the unintentional pulls the fabric has suffered at the rough hands of shoppers.)

Of course, a Chanel isn't the only thing you might have inherited. An entirely different sort of mommy could have passed along a lovingly preserved tie-dyed garment, folded away since the '60s. These old friends are clearly the inspiration for the tie-dye renaissance engineered by Prada this season, and luckily, as with most things Prada, tie-dyes have surfaced rapidly on the secondary market. CLUB MONACO (160 Fifth Avenue), in particular, has taken a big bite: Here are ruffled minis in tie-dyed pink for $55, bottle-green cotton pullovers whose color fades from deep to pale for $79, and a boyish shirt that dances between blue and white for $89. A word of warning: Do not under any circumstances consider buying a white sweater, as recommended recently by a New York tabloid, and attempting the dying process at home. We tried tie-dying a simple tee some years ago, and the memory of the unspeakable mess and hideous result still haunts.
And why would you even bother, when the ready-made stuff is so cheap? At BANG BANG (53 East 8th Street) there's a full yellow cotton skirt, tie-dyed in a charming if splotchy fashion, that has a cotton-knit waistband splattered with sequins and is meant to sit low on the hips (or higher if you're chubbierwho's going to know?) for $39.99. Price-wise, this is quite a departure from the versions at Prada, where a polo is $230 (possibly the cheapest thing in the store) and a red pullover, very close to the green replica at Club Monaco, is $650. And believe it or not, Prada even sells its own version of the deconstructed Chanel jacket, in gray tweed and with the requisite frayed cuffs. Everything is relative: At $1,295, it's less than half the cost of the Chanel original.

In "The Crucible", what information does Mary Warren provide about the trial? What role is she playing at the trial? Why does John forbid her from attending?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Mary Warren is one of the girls included in the circle of Abigail Williams. They are supposed to be key witnesses in the witchcraft trial. After a day of attending the trial, Proctor insists that she has a job with them and she should not be neglecting her duties to go to the trial. Mary defies Proctor and says she is an official of the court and, therefore, she must attend the proceedings. She then mentions that Elizabeth Proctor is a possible suspect in the investigation of witchcraft. Proctor convinces Mary that she must expose Abigail to the court but Mary is intimidated by Abigail when she goes to expose her. She joins Abigail's group once again and her behavior helps lead to John Proctor's arrest.

ONCE ANTISEPTIC and aseptic techniques had been finally accepted as part of routine surgical practice (mid 1890s), it was inevitable that other elaborate operating room rituals would similarly take hold. The use of gloves, face masks, operating gowns, and caps naturally evolved. In 1843, along with other developments in rubber processing, the procedure of vulcanization (treating crude rubber with sulfur or its compounds and subjecting it to heat to make it nonplastic and increase its strength and elasticity) was patented and the use of rubber gloves became a possibility. However, surgeons were generally reluctant to use such devices, primarily because until the 1870s no truly flexible, functional glove had been designed. This situation changed in 1878, when Thomas Forster, an employee of the India-Rubber Works in Surrey, England, was granted both British and United States patents for the "manufacture of gloves for surgical operations."

Occupation: Student / House cleaner
Hometown: Fort Collins CO
The design and themes of my tattoos: My tattoos are all pretty different from dream catchers, a space scene cover up and memorial tattoos but I believe each one tells a little part about me and my life story. I would say that my tattoos are nature themed because I have the night sky, flowers and birds all tattooed on myself.
More specifics about my tattoo: Two other tattoos I have that I love are an infinity symbol on my finger and the cover up space scene on my right side.
My favorite tattoo and the story behind it: The three-hooped dream catcher tattoo on my right thigh is my favorite. I decided to get it because I make dream catchers by hand. I also love this tattoo because I had the Colorado flag incorporated because I am very happy to now call Colorado my home. I also wanted to honor the Native American culture because it means so much to me and for me its a way of life. I also love all the detail in this tattoo and the bight colors.
My next tattoo: I had "Always Remember" with wings on it tattooed on my right shoulder. It seems like a simple phrase but it has much deeper meaning to me. Its my way of saying you should always remember where you come from and what you've been through because every little piece of your life is part of what makes you who you are and you should be proud of who you are and how far you've come.

By looks alone, Chaz Bundick is an unlikely party starter. Sporting full-moon glasses and a cartoonish frizz of hair, he's a cartoonish figure, drawn in the style of a bookish sidekick rather than a rave leader.
In The Whale will be representing Colorado at Lollapalooza 2015 lineup this summer. The Denver act is joining headliners Paul McCartney, Metallica and Florence + the Machine at the Chicago music festival.
Chromeo has shared the video for "Come Alive" featuring Toro Y Moi, a funky dance track that showcases the newest trend in music: living mannequins.
Is it me, or does Chaz Bundick's hair get larger every time we see him? Toro y Moi is no stranger to Denver. Heck, Chaz and crew have swung by our fair state three times in the last year -- most recently last month at the Ogden Theatre.
Toro y Moi came back through Denver to the Ogden Theatre on Wednesday for his third stop in Colorado this year. Chaz Bundick, the heart and soul of Toro y Moi, has proved that his infectious beats and hooks deserve booking at bigger venues with each Colorado appearance.
Topping our picks of best Colorado shows this week are Iron & Wine, Toro y Moi and more. We'll be seeing you there, and if you don't make it out, follow the music musings on our Twitter @RVRB and our selfies on Instagram @heyreverb.
Chaz Bundick aka Toro y Moi has a thing for Colorado. The chillwave producer has announced his third Colorado show in 2013. After playing a sold out show at the Bluebird Theater in February and on Saturday at Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Thievery Corporation, Toro y Moi will return to the Mile High in November.
Hints of Austin City Limits 2013 headliners have been swirling around the Internet for quite some time using the hashtag #aclfest. The early spoilers came at the hands of Muse and the Cure.
After a year hiatus, the Glastonbury Festival has announced its initial 2013 lineup, which includes the Rolling Stones as a first-ever headliner. Along with the Stones at the top of the bill are Vampire Weekend, Mumofrd & Sons and Phoenix, who have become familiar names on festival posters this year.
It's pretty obvious that Chaz Bundick could have made it as a chart-topping pop musician. He might have taken up big hip-hop production like Kanye West, or gone the way of the R&B star like The-Dream — he just didn't want to.
Here are the best Denver shows that you should be at this week (Feb. 22-28). Reverb will be there, and you can chat with us about it on Twitter @RVRB or check out our pictures from the shows on our Instagram at Heyreverb.
The perpetually bespectacled Chaz Bundick left nothing to the imagination as Toro Y Moi laid out tables full of effects at the front of the Larimer Lounge stage on Thursday night.
Things kicked off with a fury here in Austin at Fat Possum's stellar daytime showcase at Club de Ville. The indie label's "odd man out" these days might just be MellowHype, which, as it happens, is part of the angry, raw and ultra-hip collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All.
The Nosaj Thing/Toro Y Moi bill on Saturday night at the Bluebird was a twisty indie-hip-hop foray into sights and sounds that I haven't witnessed combined this well all year.

KALAMAZOO — In the wake of two recent deaths that hit close to home for its congregation, a local Kalamazoo church plans to hold a midnight prayer vigil Friday at the four corners of Lake and Portage streets.
"We just really have to focus on prayer," said Amere May, senior pastor of Abundant Faith Word Church, which is hosting the event. "I think we've got to wholeheartedly and collectively come together to have change."
Attendees are expected to gather at Lake and Portage at 11:55 p.m. Friday and the prayer vigil is scheduled to get underway right at midnight. May said the vigil will last about 20 minutes and then those at the event will head inside the church for more prayer until about 1 a.m.
May, who heads his church along with his wife, Kenya May, said the couple was moved to hold the event following the recent deaths of Lawanda Rogers, 37, and Tiffany Ayers, 39, who were shot and killed Aug. 1 and Saturday, respectively.
May said Rogers and her family were members of Abundant Faith Word Church and a close friend of Ayers is also a member.
May said the group that is gathering Friday will be praying for the two women, as well as youth in the community, local law enforcement, teachers and even the victims of recent unrest in Egypt and the earthquake in Japan, among other things.
May said he expects about 50 people to attend the Friday's vigil.

Does anyone have any links or ideas, I've listen to a few on you-tube and they are lame IMHO, I don't want countdowns or anything like that, just 20 seconds of kick ass propper heavy fast music followed by 10 seconds of chilled. Something like this when it starts getting fast(which came on while I was sprinting on Sunday and was most awsome.

A LARGE number of patients with fatal pancreatitis develop renal failure prior to death. Frey reports nitrogen retention in 87 of 129 autopsied patients with pancreatitis, 43 of whom gave no history of preexisting renal disease.1 Presumably pancreatitis was responsible for initiating renal failure in these 43 patients. The possibility of experimental pancreatitis producing renal failure in dogs has not been studied, though glomerular and tubular lesions have been reported in dogs and rats with pancreatitis. Reis reported tubular changes within the kidney of dogs with fatal pancreatitis induced by trypsin, but not by bile.2 Glomerular and tubular changes have been reported by Falcidieno3 in the kidneys of rats dying from pancreatitis.
The present report describes experiments undertaken to ascertain if fatal bile pancreatitis was capable of producing nitrogen retention and glomerular and tubular lesions in the dog. An associated objective was to determine if renal failure

The Jets acquired Lions quarterback Kevin O'Connell in a trade Sunday, according to a person familiar with the transaction, who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak on behalf of the team.
The deal fuels speculation that Rex Ryan & Co. aren't happy with backup Kellen Clemens.
The exact compensation for O'Connell, who was scooped up by Detroit after getting waived by the Patriots last week, is unknown. The Jets also put a waiver claim in for O'Connell last week.
The move could also mean that Clemens may not be entirely healthy. Ryan revealed after the Jets preseason finale last Thursday that the veteran quarterback - who lost the Jets' much ballyhooed QB competition to Mark Sanchez - was dealing with some sort of elbow issue.
Third-string QB Erik Ainge has shined in the preseason, making this deal all the more puzzling.
The other wrinkle is that the Jets may simply be trying to pump O'Connell for information. After all, the Patriots face the Jets at the Meadowlands in Week 2.
Stay tuned.

** The Lions are usually relevant around the NFL exactly once per season – at Thanksgiving. Even though it's a couple of weeks early, I feel like I should be eating turkey this weekend.
** Could the Panthers actually lose this game? Absolutely. Even though Detroit is 0-9, it's so far been impossible for a team to go 0-16 in the NFL. The Lions will beat somebody -- they came close to Chicago not long ago. If Jake Delhomme flings the ball around like he's throwing left-handed again, like he did last week, it might be possible.
** Big day in store for the Panthers' pass rush. Carolina will get ahead, Daunte Culpepper is immobile and -- although Culpepper won't play every snap for Detroit at QB -- there are going to be at least 4-5 sacks for Carolina in this one.
** I don't think Delhomme will throw the ball that badly for two games in a row. If he does, something's wrong – especially since Detroit is 31st in the NFL in total defense. My prediction: Delhomme throws three TD passes and Carolina wins, 34-14.

With the way I expect the game to go, I doubt Jake will have a chance to get 3 TDs. I think the game will be out of hand and we'll be running before that happens.

I actually expect Jake to do well, but the defense to do poorly. I expect a 20-17 type score, reminiscent of the game against Detroit late in the season back in '03.

No way the defense struggles in this game. Culpepper's still surely working off of a limited playbook, and the Lions have given up more sacks and turned the ball over more than any other team in the NFL. I'll be SHOCKED if the defense allows a TD drive before the game is over.

Erie-area companies invest millions
Mike and John Weber have been reaching for their checkbook a lot lately, plowing money back into family-owned Smith Provision Co.
First, there was money for a promotional agreement that made Smith's the official hot dog of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
More recently, they've invested millions in a new 47,000-square-foot plant that will streamline production of hot dogs, hams and cold cuts while maintaining food-safety standards.
There is no guarantee that a company that invests money will be around to see that investment pay dividends. But many see it as a strong vote of confidence -- a sign that a company expects to be around for a while.
Smith Provision Co. was just one of a long list of companies in the Erie area that has signaled its intentions in recent months by spending money on facilities, machines and people.
Those investments are watched closely, especially in a town that has known the pain of losing top employers such as International Paper Co., Steris Corp. and Copes Vulcan.
"It says a lot," said Jake Rouch, vice president of economic development for the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership.
"It means they are not sitting back and waiting for the other shoe to drop," he said. "It says they are invested in the future of their business in Erie."
A new wing on a building, new loading docks, heavy machines bolted to the floor -- together they might just be the closest thing a business makes to a promise.
"When people make these kinds of investments, it's not because they think they have a six-month or one-year time horizon," Rouch said. "These investments take years to pay off."
Here's a look at some local companies that are spending money to expand or retool:
- Lord Corp. made what might be the high-stakes investment of the year.
The North Carolina-based company has committed to spending $18.5 million to purchase the former Bush Industries building in Summit Township and to consolidate its two existing Erie locations into that one building.
Lord pledged to retain more than 700 local jobs and create some new ones. In exchange, local taxing bodies have agreed to forgo a share of the increased tax revenue the plant would have produced.
The alternative, one the company was said to have considered, would have closed the Erie plants and moved those jobs elsewhere.
- GE Transportation, which has added more than 1,000 employees in the past year, announced a $136 million investment in its Lawrence Park Township plant. That sum includes $58 million for research and testing technology, $38 million to increase capacity and modernize machining, and $40 million for facility and site upgrades, including new offices for hundreds of employees.
The centerpiece of that investment was money for a new engine-testing cell that the company is using to test emissions on its new Evolution engines.
Lorenzo Simonelli, president of GE Transportation, said the investments reflect the company's commitment to Erie.
"We've been here more than a hundred years and plan to be here for another hundred years," he said recently.
- Eriez Manufacturing has never been shy about geographic expansion. The company, which has its headquarters on Asbury Road, has locations around the world, including Mexico and China.
In 2011, the company added another location -- 15 miles away on Wager Road on the other end of Millcreek Township. Tim Shuttleworth, the company's president, said Eriez hired more than 30 employees in 2011 and expects to add more.
- A joint investment by Welch Foods Inc. and Graham Packaging in North East was expected to increase efficiency and to boost productivity at Welch's largest plant.
The new 19,000-square-foot plastic bottle plant, located on property owned by the North East juice plant, is expected to boost capacity from 20 million cases to 28 million cases.
Erie County, which has been on the losing end of other consolidations, emerged this time as the winner. As the North East plant was upgraded, the farmer-owned company made a corresponding move to downsize operations at a Welch's plant in Lawton, Mich. About 200 jobs were lost there.
- Indiana-based Accuride Corp. announced a $35 million initiative in 2011 to expand its aluminum wheel manufacturing capacity in North America.
In addition to investments in Mexico and South Carolina, the company spent $20 million in Erie to build what Accuride calls one of the most high-tech aluminum wheel production lines in North America.
The plant on East 12th Street makes use of eight robots that transform raw aluminum wheels into polished finished products that are ready for shipment.
The investment in new machines has increased capacity by 42 percent, but it hasn't sidelined any workers. The plant on East 12th Street employs about 270 people.
- Birkmire Trucking Co., a 64-year-old Erie company, moved in October into a new, multimillion-dollar complex near Interstate 90 in Fairview Township.
Tim Birkmire, who runs the company, said money spent on the 30,000-square-foot building will help secure the business for another generation.
"We did this for efficiency," he said. "And it helps our efficiency to be under one roof."
None of these investments comes with a guarantee. There is no such thing as a sure thing in the world of business.
Jim Kurre, a professor of economics at Penn State Behrend and director of the Economic Research Institute of Erie, said spending on facilities is a clear signal of an employer's intent.
"Capital expenditures imply a long-term investment, especially if they are in bricks and mortar and big equipment," he said. "Those are things that aren't going to be moved easily."
The message these companies are sending seems clear, he said
"It tells me the company has decided this is a place to cast their fate for a while."

'No puedo' takes Peacock in India
Taiwanese actor-director Leon Dai's "No puedo vivir sin ti" ("I Can't Live Without You") won the Golden Peacock for best film and a cash award of 4 million rupees ($86,909) Thursday at the 40th Intl. Film Festival of India in Goa.
The jury, headed by Brazilian filmmaker Joao Batista de Andrade, said in its citation: "'I Can't Live Without You' is a sensitive and beautifully made film that depicts the relation between a father and daughter. The quality of both the technical department as well as its outstanding interpretation of human emotion makes it the winner."
The Silver Peacock Award for director went to South Korea's Ounie Lecomte for "Yeo-haeng-ja" ("A Brand New Life"). Georgian film "Gagma napiri" ("The Other Bank") directed by George Ovashvili won the Special Jury Award. Both prizes come with cash awards of $32,605 each.
The festival, which opened Nov. 23, concluded with a screening of Pedro Almodovar's "Broken Embraces."

Location: Wyatt 223
Peabody International Lunch Series (Lunch Provided)
Presented by: Roselle Mendoza (Humphrey Fellowship Program – Philippines)
Are you aware that the Philippines has more than 100 ethnic tribes and about 111 indigenous languages? Multiculturalism may bring diverse cultural riches to this island nation, but it also has complex implications for curriculum, pedagogy, and school climate. Despite a mandate in 2011 by the Department of Education that all schools adopt the National Indigenous Peoples' (IP) Education Policy Framework, indigenous communities continue to be marginalized and lack access to culturally appropriate education. In Roselle Mendoza's province of Nueva Vizcaya, indigenous communities are underserved with respect to the provision of basic education services; hear her discuss how she and other educational leaders address the issues of access, efficiency and quality in this complex social environment.

Lunch Provided
Presented by Lhamo Dongtse (Humphrey Fellowship Program – Tibet)
In the Qing Hai province of China, there are a number of issues that complicate efforts to improve the quality of education, especially for nomadic peoples. One challenge, for example, is how to offer bilingual education to all students; minority languages are legally granted equal status to Mandarin, but national examinations favor the dominant language. Similarly, educators struggle to teach effectively using a standardized curriculum; despite wide variation in geography, agriculture, climate, language, and local customs, the same subjects are taught with the same materials throughout the country. Join Lhamo Dong Tse, a Tibetan educational leader in Qinghai province and a current Humphrey Fellow, as she addresses these and other challenges, and hear her describe how she endeavors to improve educational opportunities for her region's most disadvantaged groups.

We present herein data showing for the first time to our knowledge that dry iontophoresis rapidly induces anhidrosis during current application in individuals with hyperhidrosis. This finding provides a novel experimental model for evaluating treatments of hyperhidrosis and determining their mechanism of action. Tap water iontophoresis, during which the patient's hands are soaked in shallow pans of tap water, sometimes with drugs added (usually anticholinergic agents), has been in wide use for several decades, although little is known about its mechanism of action.1,2 While studying iontophoretic delivery of botulinum toxin to the palms of patients with hyperhidrosis, we noted that dry current alone induced relative palmar anhidrosis.3
To investigate the observed anhidrotic effect of dry iontophoresis, we recruited 6 patients (4 women and 2 men) with primary palmar hyperhidrosis and no clinically significant comorbid conditions or current medications. Ethical approval and written informed consent were obtained, and the study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki protocols.
The iontophoresis unit (Phoresor II; Iomed Inc, Salt Lake City, Utah) comprises a battery-operated base with twin lead cables attached to 2 conductive gel electrode pads, which were attached to the right and left upper limbs of subjects. We first assessed their baseline sweating by Minor starch-iodine test: iodine solution (2 g of iodine in 10 mL castor oil and ethanol to total 100 mL) applied to the palms followed by starch powder, which turned hyperhidrotic areas dark blue. Patients' palms were digitally photographed 2 minutes after application of starch powder.4 Their hands were then washed and carefully dried to enable further assessment. All patients were also asked to self-rate their baseline sweating using a 100-point visual analog scale (VAS) (0, no sweating to 100, extreme sweating).
During the study treatment period, a 4-mA current was applied to the patients' wrists via the conductive pads, and the Minor starch-iodine test was reapplied 1 minute after the start of current application. Two minutes later, the hands were photographed, with the current still switched on. The current was then switched off immediately, and the hands photographed again 2 minutes later. To quantify any change in sweating during current application, all patients were then asked to rate their level of sweating during the procedure on the 100-point VAS.
Starch-iodine testing revealed a rapid and substantial reduction in sweating for the duration of the current application. It also showed that sweating returned rapidly to baseline within seconds to minutes after current cessation (Figure 1). Subjectively, the procedure led to a significant reduction in sweating during the time of current application, from a mean (SEM) VAS of 66.2 (6.9) before current application to 19.2 (6.2) during current application (P < .001 by t test) (Figure 2). This change corresponds to a mean (SEM) fold change of 0.31 (0.09) (P < .01 by t test).
Application of dry current alone induces rapid anhidrosis. A, Minor starch-iodine was applied to hands at baseline; hyperhidrotic areas stained dark blue. B, Hands were washed, and 4-mA current was applied through gel pads at the wrist; Minor starch-iodine was reapplied after 1 minute, and the hands were photographed after a further 2 minutes, showing relative anhidrosis. C, Current was turned off, and the hands were photographed 2 minutes later, showing a return of hyperhidrosis.
Electric current reduces severity of palmar sweating. Patients were asked to quantify the severity of sweating on a visual analog scale (VAS) (0, no sweating; 100, extreme sweating) before and after treatment. Error bars represent SEM (P < .001 by t test).
The application of dry current provides a unique insight into sweating patterns during iontophoresis, and we document for the first time to our knowledge that sweating in primary palmar hyperhidrosis significantly diminishes during cutaneous current application and rapidly returns on removal of current. The electrochemical forces that drive sweat production and the mechanism of iontophoresis are not understood. Our data support a rapid temporary interference with ion pumps and/or the innervation of eccrine sweat glands as at least partly explaining the mode of action of iontophoresis in hyperhidrosis.
Our results complement those of another study5 in which the repeated use of dry iontophoresis reduced sweating over time, although direct comparisons with tap-water iontophoresis are thus far lacking. These results imply that tap water, in traditional iontophoresis, may play no part other than acting as a conductor for current. This suggests that far less bulky iontophoresis machines requiring less space and resources could also be effective, although further studies are required to verify this proposition.

An Approach to Quantitatively Measuring Collaborative Performance in Online Conversations
Paul Dwyer
Willamette University - Atkinson Graduate School of Management
December 13, 2010
Computers in Human Behavior, Vol. 27, pp. 1021-1032, 2011
Interpersonal dynamics often hinder people from optimizing collaboration. Researchers who monitor the intellectual activity of people as they converse online receive less value when such collaboration is impaired. How can they detect suboptimal collaboration? This study builds on a new metric for measuring collaborative value from the information content of participant contributions to propose a measure of collaborative efficiency, and demonstrates its utility by assessing collaboration around a sample of weblogs. The new collaborative value metric can augment qualitative research by highlighting for deeper investigation conversational themes that triggered elevated collaborative production. Identifying these themes may also define the cognitive box people have built within a collaborative venue. Challenging people to consider fresh ideas by deliberately introducing them into collaborative venues is recommended as the key to overcoming collaborative dysfunction.
