Friday, June 3, 2005
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Phone: (617) 565-2074
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Improving job safety and health for TSA employees at San Juan's Luis Mu�oz Mar�n International Airport and other airports in Puerto Rico is the goal of a new alliance between the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
"This alliance is a good example of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's commitment to find cooperative ways to improve health and safety for all employees," said Patricia K. Clark, OSHA's regional administrator for Region 2, which includes Puerto Rico. "It is a great opportunity to advance a culture of injury and illness prevention among TSA employees in Puerto Rico."
The alliance includes the development and delivery of training sessions addressing hazards encountered by TSA employees during the performance of their regular duties. The training will encompass airport passenger screening and baggage handling issues, with an emphasis on reducing and preventing TSA workers' exposure to ergonomic, struck-by, crushed-in, electrical, and fall hazards.
TSA will also include employees from Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla and Eugenio Maria De Hostos Airport in Mayaguez in the outreach and training sessions. Approximately 586 TSA employees are employed in Puerto Rico.
The Transportation Security Administration protects the nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.
Signing the alliance were Patricia K. Clark, OSHA's regional administrator; federal OSHA's Puerto Rico area director, Jos� A. Carpena; and for TSA, Frederick Baraga, acting federal security director, Luis Mu�oz Mar�n International Airport.
OSHA has created more than 325 alliances with organizations committed to fostering safety and health in the workplace.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

From denim to embroidery to oil paint and bronze, the artworks to be featured in the upcoming season at the Gallery at Penn College will explore a variety of both media and ideas.
According to Penny Griffin Lutz, gallery manager, the works featured in the ninth season at the gallery, located in Pennsylvania College of Technology's Madigan Library, are chosen by a committee comprised of Penn College faculty and staff, teachers from kindergarten through 12th grades and artists.
"There is no theme for the year; instead, the committee tries to select a variety of media. For example, we may receive applications from 25 painters, but will try to select only one for the exhibition season," Lutz said.

While they each operate in a different medium, the artists chosen all have something in common: they create work that makes viewers think and, hopefully, causes them to grow.
"Exhibitions are selected mainly for the quality of the artwork and the exploration of new ideas," Lutz said. "We look for shows that will inspire curiosity, personal growth and social awareness, whether that is in our students or the community at large."
Some of these artists hope to spark thought and conversation by challenging viewers to see everyday materials in a new light.
James Arendt, whose work will be shown in the fall, does this by creating sculptures out of denim. The sculptures, many of which appear to be life-size, are at once imposing and intricate. Arendt creates images of real people he knows with these works; mainly people whom feels close to or who have held important roles in his life.
"He uses denim, which often comes from the person he is constructing. He states, 'Denim can be abused, worn out, patched, stained and burnt through, and its characteristics are mirrored in the individuals I represent,' " Lutz said, quoting from Arendt's artist statement.
Using vastly different methods, Amanda McCavour's work shows another common material in a different light: her exhibit, "Line: Drawn and Stitched" is made of thread and embroidery works unlike anything viewers would find in a sewing circle. Her 3-D works are created in a process that involves the use of a sewing machine to stitch fabrics that dissolve in water. While the works are physically solid, they appear to be falling apart or unraveling. McCavour's artist statement says, "My work is a process of making as a way of tracing and preserving things that are gone, or slowly falling apart."
The gallery will offer an opportunity to get up close and personal with McCavour and learn more about her work in January with an all-day workshop.
"The support for fiber workshops in the past has been great, and I'm happy to say that this workshop is already two-thirds' full!" Lutz said.
In addition to the outside artists who will be hosted this year, many of Penn College's own will have the chance to show their work at the "100 Works!" exhibit. "100 Works!" is a celebration of the college's Centennial.
"The work is still being juried at this time, but visitors can expect to see photography, 2-D and 3-D work," Lutz said. "The show was open to students, alumni, employees and retirees, and is just one of the many events celebrating the 100th anniversary of the college."
Other exhibits to be featured in the upcoming year include "Lotus Eaters," featuring paintings by Jennifer R.A. Campbell; "SimBiotic," featuring photographs by Robin Germany; "Design 2015," which will showcase the senior design portfolios created by Penn College graphic design students; and "Though much is taken, much abides...," featuring bronze sculptures and ink drawings by Ed Smith.
"Over the past nine years, it's been interesting to watch our exhibitions evolve to include emerging artists and artists using traditional materials in unusual ways," Lutz said. "Our current exhibition committee is very involved in contemporary art and they are energetic about bringing unique exhibitions to the college."
The Gallery at Penn College will resume regular hours on Aug. 1: 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays, 2 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays.
The gallery is free and open to the public.

Burglary leaves woman living in constant fear
Published 20/11/2012 | 10:25
A WOMAN lives in fear 24 hours a day after coming face to face with a burglar in her home, Sligo District court was told.
Householder Margaret McGettigan outlined her terrifying ordeal to Judge Kevin Kilraine.
She said her house was invaded and her safety threatened by the intruder.
"I feel uncomfortable ever since and carry a fear with me 24 hours a day."
The court heard her husband had been working nights on July 20th last.
She was sleeping downstairs at her home in Calry and recalled hearing footsteps in an upstairs bedroom. She got out of bed and made some noise. She then heard someone running down the stairs and when she came to the door of her bedroom she saw a young man running past her. He fled out of the back door and got away on a bicycle.
The burglar, Mark Farrell (23), no fixed abode, admitted the offence at Faughts Lane, Calry. He was also charged with entering a house on the Strandhill Road on September 5th, with taking a bicycle at Finisklin Road on March 26th and possession of drugs at Yeats Drive on May 20th.
Mrs. McGettigan said: "I could have been attacked."
She was also fearful of seeing the culprit again either through her work or in town.
Judge Kilrane told Mrs. McGettigan that Farrell had been in her house to rob and steal.
That was the reality of the situation and he fully respected her fear.
Inspector Paul Kilcoyne said Farrell had previously served 14 months of an 18 month sentence for robbery.
The Judge told Farrell that he had terrorised Mrs. McGettigan in her home and she remained terrified since.
"Have you any idea of the damage you caused?" Judge Kilrane asked.
Farrell apologised to Mrs. McGettigan saying he had no recollection of the night.
He said: "You have nothing to fear from me in the future. I don't know what came across me that night."
The court heard he had a rare form of ADHD. He claimed he was actually terrified of the householder that night and he left.
Judge Kilrane told Farrell he was afraid he was going to be caught and this was why he ran out of the house.
Farrell said he was no longer taking drugs and wanted to get his life back on track.
He said he missed appointments with the probation service because his granny was sick.
Mr. Gerard McGovern, solicitor (defending), pleaded that Farrell had complied with strict bail conditions, including a curfew.
Judge Kilrane said he had grave difficulty accepting Farrell's various excuses.
He was remanded in custody to appear again at Sligo District Court on November 29th for sentencing.

Nuclear talks are underway between Iran and delegates from the United States and five other world powers, including the European Union, Russia, Britain, France, and Germany.
The talks are the first with Iran in more than a year and are meant to urge Tehran to stop enriching uranium.
Iran claims the enrichment is for fuel purposes, but it's widely believed they are building nuclear weapons.
"Given that Iran's own supply of uranium is not enough for a peaceful nuclear energy program, this calls into further question Iran's intentions and raises additional concerns at a time when Iran needs to address the concerns of the international community," Mike Hammer, spokesman for the U.S. National Security Council, said.
The United Nations is demanding Iran stop parts of its nuclear program. Neither the U.S. nor Israel have ruled out military action if Tehran refuses to halt its program.
Before the talks began, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, "Iran has not and will not allow anybody in the talks to withdraw one iota of the rights of the Iranian nation."

Apple TV took the third place position in 2015, based on revenue in the overall global set-top market, according to the recent research by IHS. That's up from ninth place in 2014.
set-top box
9to5Mac's Senior Editor, Mark Gurman is riding a high tide now, as most of his predictions regarding the Apple Watch and the new ultra-thin MacBook were proven right. In an interview given to CNBC, Gurman shares his views on where Apple TV is going and the possibility of an Apple television set.
Its been a long time since Amazon started cooking its next big thing in video entertainment and after months of rumors and hiccups, they will finally shed the curtain of their very own set-top box.
The fact that Steve Jobs has no trust in set-top box as a device that could revolutionize the TV market makes many people think Apple may decide to build televisions. Well, that may be a reality soon as DailyTech reports that Apple "is teaming up with a major OEM to sell iOS-powered, Apple-branded displays."
According to the former Apple executive who anonymously spoke to DailyTech, Apple plans to bundle Apple TV and iTunes inside physical television sets. The source claims that Apple is teaming up with a major supplier (Samsung?) to provide the physical televisions, which will be rebranded as Apple television sets. The source believed a fall launch was in order, but the product could launch as late as next year.

VIA's Open Linux Graphics Driver Has Been Defenestrated
For those that were hoping that VIA Technologies would pull through in providing their open-source graphics driver support like they had promised with kernel mode-setting, a Gallium3D driver, and being Linux friendly, kiss those thoughts goodbye as they've been basically thrown out the window. Sadly, it's not happening. I had a very productive conversation with VIA's Stewart Haston, who is their international marketing specialist, and their Linux outlook is extremely dark.
Stewart was showing off the new dual-core VIA Nano X2 CPU (under Windows), but he saw my badge and was extremely upfront about VIA's Linux matters. In fact, he can't really object to the recent Phoronix VIA articles.

Jamaal Westerman jokes that he was so lightly regarded coming out of Brampton, Ontario, that the recruiting websites gave him only a maple leaf in their star rankings.
The unheralded linebacker just finished his fifth season in the NFL.
Twin brothers Devin and Jason McCourty combined for just three BCS scholarship offers while playing at St. Joseph Regional (Montvale, N.J.).
Devin has been named an All-Pro defensive back twice in his four-year career with the Patriots and Jason is a starting cornerback for the Titans, who signed him to a five-year, $43 million contract in 2012.
Rated as two-star recruits, the players are emblematic of the type of players that served as the backbone of Rutgers' success in the past decade. Over that time, the coaching staff has demonstrated an ability to find overlooked prospects and develop them into productive players.
Rutgers has 11 former two-star recruits currently on NFL rosters.
"I think one thing about guys that are two stars or lower, they come in with a certain work ethic and they know what's in front of them," Devin McCourty said. "I think that's how I went in there. It wasn't just me – we had a bunch of guys that came in around my time that were great football players for Rutgers, and we were all low (in the rankings)."
The McCourtys, Westerman and many of their teammates arrived at Rutgers with a tireless work ethic, which they identify as the key ingredient to their success.
"When I first got to Rutgers, I always dreamed of making it to the NFL," Jason McCourty said. "But I never really thought it would be a reality. You dream, but it's hard. You never know. I came in and was third-string and just worked my butt off every year. That was the main thing."
Jason McCourty, his brother and other defensive backs pushed each other through summer workouts on their own. The players improved and formed a bond in the process.
"That's when we all built our friendship and camaraderie and just the belief in one another," Jason McCourty said. "To me, that's the key thing about college sports. When they're able to do that, you'll start to see the results come September."
If there's another common trait among the players it's a level of toughness. Maybe they weren't as talented as teams loaded with four and five-star recruits, but they weren't going to back down from anyone.
"I think it's really the coaching and how tough the guys are," Westerman said. "The guys Rutgers brings in, one thing I say about them, we always have tough guys."
Jason McCourty had a successful career at Rutgers, but he needed to prove himself all over to NFL teams. He was a sixth round pick by the Titans in the 2009 Draft, and he entered the league with the same chip on his shoulder that served him well at Rutgers.
"Guys come in the fifth or sixth round, and you come in with a certain level of hunger," Jason McCourty said. "A lot of us our year (at Rutgers), we didn't have any of the big names. That motivates you to continue to work and do better. I think that's the key thing. Sometimes when you get a two-star, you get a guy that's willing to do anything possible to be able to get better and compete."
Devin McCourty was a first round pick by the Patriots in the 2010 Draft, but his mindset hasn't changed. If anything, playing for Bill Belichick has given him a greater appreciation for the importance of finding players that fit a system and then developing that talent.
"I see Coach Belichick bring in a bunch of guys that everyone says no one wants and they're great players," Devin McCourty said. "Recruiting and the NFL Combine, a lot of that is hype. It all comes down to what a guy does once he steps on campus. It's rare you get guys straight out of high school that are ready to play right now. Those are the great, top recruits, but a bunch of the guys have to develop."
Rutgers' 2014 recruiting class was widely panned after it suffered an unprecedented 13 decommitments, including all five of its four-star prospects. What's left is a group of two and three-star recruits who should arrive on campus with plenty of motivation to silence their critics.
"That's the great thing about it. When you can be the underdog and no one expects it, that can motivate you and continue to dig at you," Jason McCourty said. "You'll get to surprise people, and that's the most fun thing about it."
Rutgers' NFL alums keep a close eye on the program and follow the recruiting news. Westerman actually watches highlight clips of prospects online and he sees some potential diamonds in the rough in the 2014 class.
"I think people get caught up in the stars a little too much," Westerman said. "Not to say, it's not true or not right. This class had a lot of decommits, but I think we have a lot of great players coming in. These guys should have a little chip on their shoulders. People are saying they're three stars and two stars and they can't get it done. I think a lot of these guys are going to impress us."
While Rutgers had little choice but to try to overachieve with underrated recruits as the program rebuilt, the goal is to ultimately reach a level where the school is a destination for top prospects. But those days haven't yet arrived, so for now Rutgers must hope it has found the next generation of under-the-radar stars.
"I think that's how it has to start," Devin McCourty said. "We just have to knock off some of those top teams, one or two upsets a year, and the next thing you know, we'll be the team getting five-stars."

Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday released her budget proposal for next year, proposing a 4 percent general fund spending increase that she said was tapering off the big spending increases of recent years.
Sound off on the important issues at
At a press conference in Anchorage, Palin said her budget "departs from 14 percent annual increases that we've been seeing."
Palin's budget totals $8.3 billion, of which $4.4 billion is part of the general fund.
Operating expenses for state agencies amount to $1.8 billion, just less than the $1.9 billion in surplus funds she said would be saved and invested for the future.
What increases there were, she said, were often unavoidable, driven by rising fuel and health care costs. Amounts for agency operations rose just 1 percent over the current year, she said.
Web links
Palin's budget priorities: www.gov.state.ak.us/govbudget.php
Palin's budget proposal: www.gov.state.ak.us/omb/09_omb/budget/index.htm
Budget highlights
Plan for fiscal year 2009
$100 million for school construction and maintenance.
$10.1 million for work force training, other University of Alaska programs.
$20.3 million to increase assistance to low-income seniors.
$75 million for community revenue sharing.
$1 billion for K-12 education.
$406 million to offset rising retirement costs for schools, government.
$71 million in general fund, plus $237 million in federal money for highways.
$379 million deposit to the Constitutional Budget Reserve.
$4.5 million to fill 20 vacant trooper positions, hire 11 additional troopers and court security officers.
Source: Palin administration
Palin said her department managers required tough justification for new and existing expenses, starting with $1.5 billion in proposed spending increases from government agencies.
"They worked very hard to slow the rate of government growth," she said.
Palin also said her budget proposal for the next legislative session saved the bigger portion of the state's oil-fueled budget surplus, but also proposed borrowing money to do additional spending.
She said she'd like to issue general obligation bonds to fund transportation improvements, as well as build a new $100 million crime laboratory in Anchorage.
Palin said her $140 million transportation package would result in improvements from Southeast Alaska to the Dalton Highway, over which supplies are hauled to the North Slope.
A separate measure would provide for the crime lab, which would replace the existing one where 40 employees are crammed into a space designed for 14, she said.
"It's got a big price tag," she acknowledged, but said the building was needed.
Bonding would require a public vote, she said, so the state will find out whether the public supports her plans.
"We're going to let Alaskans vote yea or nay," Palin said.
Senate Finance Committee Co-chairman Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, questioned why the state would set aside $1 billion in a transportation endowment fund, while at the same time issue bonds to borrow money for highway improvements.
"We need to have a policy discussion on that," he said.
Rep. Andrea Doll, D-Juneau, questioned the number of new funds Palin proposed.
Doll said it looked to her like Palin's new funds, for education, transportation, energy and other issues, were intended to get around a constitutional prohibition that prevents one legislature from forcing future legislatures to spend money on certain projects or programs.
"It kind of flies in the face of what our constitution intended, that all needs should be equally debated," she said.
Palin also proposed a 50 percent increase in community revenue sharing for cities and boroughs, sending a proportion of the state's surplus directly to local governments, instead of having the state allocate projects for them.
"This will allow our communities to prioritize," Palin said.
She said she'd encourage them to spend the money on property tax and energy cost relief.
Stedman said he doubted there was support in the Legislature for that, and the cuts to regional projects might be bigger than the amount sent directly to communities.
"I don't think the Legislature is going to agree with that, but there is not an objection to revenue sharing itself," he said.
Stedman said he was concerned that Palin's budget proposal didn't included $25 million needed for new engines in the ferry Columbia.
Doll said she too was concerned about the lack of priority given to the ferry system.
"In Southeast we need reliable ferry service, and the Columbia is in desperate need for these engines," she said.
Capt. John Falvey, manager of the Alaska Marine Highway System, did not return calls Monday.
Palin's proposed budget was released several days ahead of the Dec. 15 date required by law. She said that was intended to give the Legislature extra time to deal with the budget prior to the first-ever 90-day session next year.

FiPS Round-up: 4 Neighborhood Happy Hours
Since we here at FIPS are often in need of beverage-variety lubrication yet lack the financial prosperity of Wall Street Titans, we're always on the lookout for good drinking deals. This week we're highlighting four different Park Slope eateries and bars who currently have some decent happy hour deals going on.
1. TWO BOOTS (514 2nd Street)
There aren't many places to wet one's whistle in Northeast Park Slope. Two Boots, which aspires to be half-Italian, half-New Orleans, is an exception to the rule. In addition to a big dining area and large outdoor patio, there's a small bar up front with an interesting assortment of neighborhood locals. While there are no happy hour specials on food, you can get $1 off all dinks on M-F from 4-6 p.m., plus a special late-night happy hour from 7-9PM on Tuesdays.
2. PARK SLOPE ALE HOUSE (356 6th Avenue)
There are only a few places to throw back a bev along 6th St. in the Northern half of the Slope. PSAH has that classic old school New York bar look & feel, though the service and food can be hit or miss. But there are no complaints about the 3-hour happy hour each day from 4-7 p.m. This is the place to go on a Tuesday evening, where happy hour runs all night PLUS -- they have 50 cent wings. Now that's what we're talking about!
3. CYPRESS AVENUE (52 5th Avenue)
An Irish pub on 5th & Bergen, Cypress Avenue has great food and drink specials -- AND -- they are just a potato's throw from The Barclays Center. So if you're looking for a cheap place to pre-game before checking out a show you probably paid a shit ton of money for, this is the place to go. Drink specials include $2-off pints till 7 p.m., $4 well drinks until 8 p.m. and $2 off call drinks till 7. They also have a variety of food specials, which usually include slider combinations or meat pies (yum).
4. Commonwealth (497 5th Avenue)
Here you can grab $4 drafts and a $1-off mixed drinks from 4-7 p.m. Monday-Friday. Though they don't offer happy hour food specials, they do serve Dub Pies and occasionally give out free condoms and popcorn, which is all you really need for a fun evening.
Do you have a favorite watering hole that has some sort of happy hour deal? If so, let us know in the comments!

This site has been developed for a few reasons. First, the Web author ascribes great value to the maintenance of historical memory. Quite simply, the more we know about, and acknowledge, our past(s), the more insight we tend to have into who we are, as a society, and where it is that we may be going. Accordingly, the Web presents itself as a viable, robust option for making some of the more oscured, but nonetheless valid, histories known to all. Second, with regard to its research value, this is an open subject--although great sources already exist, there is indeed ample room for more writing, research, and learning to be done. In either case, the Web is about opening doors which, for so many years, have been closed. In this light, it is hoped that the user may learn much about what the Web author values, as well as experience a sliver of history (esoteric as it may be) that stands as just one of the many building blocks comprising the base of American culture. While ending, it is important to mention that this is meant to be a dynamic site. Certainly, there is much that has been missed/forgotten. That said, expect changes, and feel free to refer comments and questions to email@example.com.
Located at the mouth of the Columbia River, the Harbor Defenses of the Columbia (HDC)--comprised of forts Stevens, Canby, and Columbia--present a heritage which harks-back to the American Civil War (1861-1865). From that time, through the Second World War (1939-1945), the HDC stood as the primary sentinel in defense of America's Pacific Northwest. More secondarily, the HDC has served as a turnstile for numerous servicemen, a popular escape for nature lovers, and one of the largest clusters of public campgrounds in the states of Oregon and Washington. Based on primary and secondary research, this Web site attempts to provide a snap-shot of the HDC's greater past, while also memorializing its brief involvement in the Second World War.
World War II proved one of the more prodigious events of the common era. It is, sometimes, difficult for many of us, as Americans, to believe that such an event, seemingly so foreign and practically fictious, actually touched the nation's shores. Quite simply, when we think of the War, immediately accessed are images of earth-shaking events like D-Day in Europe, and Pearl Harbor in the Pacific. However, a mere ninety-miles west of Portland, Oregon, lies a spot, in the HDC, where the War, if only for a short while, wielded a very real presence. In telling the story of the HDC, we will consider a number of aspects. First, a quick view into the HDC's general history will be taken. Relative to the Second World War, the HDC's brief 1942 encounter with the Japanese Imperial Navy will then be addressed. To provide greater depth to the tale, a cluster of interviews, conducted in the Winter of 1995, with actual veterans of the HDC, will be included in full-text. One may then view a number of HDC images, drawn from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and secondary sources. Finally, a map of the HDC's area of operation (accompanied by photos and text), several HDC-related print, electronic, and personal resources, and a short quiz on the HDC, will round out the site.

CBNNews.com - SAN DIEGO - Hunger is often invisible. But not on the streets of San Diego, where young and old line up three times a week at the Church of the Nazarene in Mid-City.
They receive a loaf of bread, some eggs, milk and a bit of produce. It's not a lot, but Pastor Deron Matson says many will stand in line for hours, hoping to get the best food they believe is available at the front of the line.
"Some wait over 12 hours," he told CBN News. "We had a three-o'clock distribution today and I've seen people line up beginning at 2:30- 3 a.m."
Gary McDonald, CEO of Feeding America in San Diego, said Matson's line not unusual.
"We've seen lines as long as 4,500 people," he said. "It's amazing."
Filling the Food Pantries
This story line is playing out at churches and food pantries across the country, courtesy of an economy gone bad. More families are forced to cut back--and that includes groceries.
"More and more families are going a day or even two or three days without any food whatsoever," McDonald explained.
The non-profit group Feeding America oversees 200 food banks across the country which supply 63,000 food pantries. This year, the pantries report demand for food is up by 20 percent. That translates into an average of 4 million people standing in line for food every week.
Pastor Frank Allen, who works with Christian relief organization Operation Blessing, helps supply food to the poor in Portsmouth, Va. This year, the number he's feeding has doubled.
"In this community, there are children that go to bed hungry," he explained.
Allen's ministry, Hope Charitable Ministries, provides multiple kinds of food assistance during the week. On Tuesday nights, it's dinner for the children in the ministry's after-school tutoring program. The meal helps families who often don't have the time or resources to feed their kids.
Allen said he's seeing a number of families cutting back on what they eat.
"Some folks eat two meals a day, " he said. "A lot of people just add another can of water to the soup."
Unexpected Hardship
CBN News found David Michel standing in the food line at the Church of the Nazarene in San Diego. Michel has three kids to feed; and in his family of five, he's the only working adult. But Michel never expected to need help with food.
"I used to volunteer here," he said. "I used to be on the other side."
Michel's employer, a local grocery store, cut back his hours. Now he's looking for a new job, but it has been tough. He's up against an economy where many industries are not just cutting hours, but cutting jobs.
Pastor Matson says many in his food line are unemployed.
"They're coming to me asking for leads on jobs, ideas on jobs," he explained. "I keep my ears open for something they can get into again."
Acrosst he country, Emmanuel Jackson in Portsmouth, Va., can relate. He's worked for 13 years as a chef for a national restaurant chain. But now, he's facing a cut in hours.
"I was working 40-50 hours a week. Now, I'm averaging 25-30, 35 tops" he said..
For Jackson's family, the reduced paycheck is not enough.
"Average take-home pay is $150 a week. That's not enough to take care of a wife and five children," he said..
To help, Jackson took a second job at minimum wage. But it's still difficult to make ends meet. That's why he estimated 80 percent of his family's food comes from a local food pantry.
Food Shortages
Jackson also receives some food stamps, but as many families know--that's only part of the solution. The average monthly benefit for a family is $215.
Food pantries say they're also seeing more seniors--unable to manage rising food prices on fixed incomes.
The other part of the problem, which makes for a "perfect storm," is food supply. Corporate donations are down, thanks to increased efficiencies and economic necessity.
As the country's economic crisis continues, government and non-profit groups are struggling to understand just how many adults and children are hungry.
USDA figures released in November of 2007 showed that 4 percent of U.S. households suffer from what's called "very low food security." That is, they're cutting portions, or at times skipping meals altogether.
Groups like Feeding America believe the problem is worse this year and will continue to grow. That means more and more people will find themselves in a very difficult position.
"They're embarrassed. They're ashamed. They've never had to ask before, especially senior adults. They're not used to asking," Pastor Allen said.
Hungry Children
McDonald says the problem of hunger is especially difficult for children.
"Can you imagine not knowing if you're going to eat or not?," he asked. "And then going to school and being hungry the whole day and then getting your lunch. And finally you're full because it's the first time you've eaten in 24 hours and now you're a little sleepy."
The good news is there is help available.The government says only two-thirds of those eligible are taking advantage of food stamps.For others, food banks will make the difference.
But with supplies in question, many pantries worry that they may not be able to help provide what so many take for granted - food on the table.

• Twenty-six compounds have been compared with a placebo as to effectiveness in preventing seasickness in 16,920 soldiers and airmen crossing the Atlantic. The most significant benefit was obtained by using 50 gm. of meclizine once or thrice daily, 50 mg. of cyclizine thrice daily, or 25 mg. promethazine thrice daily.
Four other drugs were demonstrated for the first time to be effective against seasickness. Earlier reports of the effectiveness of scopolamine hydrobromide were verified as to single doses, but on continued use it gave the most distressing sideeffects of all the prophylactics used. For continued use, meclizine was the most satisfactory.
Motion sickness was twice as frequent in those who had had it before as in those with no previous history of it. It was less frequent in the older men, in those who had crossed before, and in those quartered midship.

The familiar and popular "Physician's Handbook," now in its sixth edition, is presented with a new format and a completely new set of author-editors. The contents have been arranged in a handier and more logical sequence, and the black-tabbed rapid index makes the various chapters more easily accessible. Additional sections on the theory and use of the electrocardiogram and the radioisotopes are included, and information on the newer antibiotics has been added to the sections on therapy. Hormone therapy has been brought up to date, with the inclusion of uses and dosages of pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisone. Retaining its emphasis on quick reference to hospital procedures, factual data and clinical aids, this improved edition of the "Physician's Handbook" will be now more than ever an invaluable aid to medical students, interns and resident physicians.

Donna the Buffalo brings earthy jams to Edinboro on Thursday
Donna the Buffalo's search for a new drummer was a huge bummer -- until they hit Edinboro in 2011.
Singer and guitarist Jeb Puryear said they tried out four different ones. One gave the band a Latin flavor, not exactly Donna's style. The gig just before Edinboro was another disaster.
"He was a super-nice guy, but it just didn't go very well," Puryear recalled. "We were really hurting by the time we got to Edinboro."
There, they met their next candidate, Mark Raudabaugh.
"So, we set up, and we're sound-checking, and we played like 15 seconds, just jamming on a beat. And we're all grinning ear to ear because Mark can really play the drums. It was funny. I didn't want to turn around -- I didn't want him to know I was grinning.
"If you play with someone who really plays with you, it's awesome because there's no fighting the drummer. They set where you're going to go."
The Edinboro gig clinched it; Raudabaugh was in. Two years later, the long-running roots band is on fire with Puryear, Tara Nevins (vocals, fiddle, accordion, rub board), Kyle Spark (bass) and Dave McCracken (keyboards).
Except for Puryear and Nevins -- the band's songwriters and guiding lights for nearly 25 years -- Donna the Buffalo's lineup has consistently undergone a conscious evolution, to quote one of their songs. They arrive at Edinboro on a higher plane; this may be their strongest lineup ever.
"When it's totally clicking it just makes it a joy," Puryear said. "It makes everything easier. It's like turning the key to a car and boom, it just goes."
Donna followers, known as the Herd, are anxious to hear how the lineup gels on CD. "Tonight, Tomorrow and Yesterday" -- due out June 18 -- will be the band's first studio album with the current lineup, and its first release in five years. They recorded it in a rustic church in Enfield, N.Y., using old-school analog tape and few overdubs to capture their organic-as-peat-moss feel.
"This was made more in the old-timey style. You just set up and play music and record it," Puryear said. "So, I think it has that vibe and it's a subtle quality. But I think it's something that can easily be felt."
The CD features 14 songs, but don't ask Puryear if there's another "Locket and Key." That song gained Donna the Buffalo some unaccustomed radio airplay on country and Americana stations.
"We haven't done a lot of thinking, as far as strategizing to try to make hits," Puryear said. "We kind of just do what we do."
They craft spirit-soaring songs with distinct sensibilities: Nevins' songs are unfailingly melodic, brisk and buoyant, powered by her reassuring, wisdom-soaked vocals and ever-present fiddle and accordion. Puryear's songs accentuate the groove, his exceptional guitar work and sly, Dylan-like way with lyrics.
Puryear and Nevins often alternate songs in concert and on disc, a method that embodies their democratic approach and the caring, sharing vibe so prevalent in their songs. They also never play the same show twice. Puryear said they draw from around 150 songs or so every night, and they don't write them down.
"We used to make set lists, but then a song would come up that really wasn't the right song for the moment," he said.
They excel at reading crowds, knowing when to send them soaring or to give weary feet a brief rest. In Edinboro's small room, where their chemistry and electricity are palpable, expect more dancing than resting.

Interview with Les Campbell
OK, once again, could you describe, ah, your meeting, ah, the meeting with the African-American teachers with Rhody McCoy in '67?
Well, Rhody McCoy had been appointed the unit administrator of the Ocean Hill-Brownsville experimental school project in the summer of 1967, and myself and Albert Vann, representing the African-American Teachers Association, we wanted to extend to Mr. McCoy, ah, the fact that our organization was supportive of the efforts of the Ocean Hill-Brownsville project and that we were prepared to assist him in whatever way possible to make sure that that project was a success. And that was the essence of our meeting in 1967.

Anonymous Letter Of Warning To Parent Of Child Studying With JWs.
by Bangalore 6 Replies latest jw friends
Anonymous Letter Of Warning To Parent Of Child Studying With JWs.
I don't know how I woukld react if I got an anonymous letter like that. I think I would prefer to have the option to talk to the writer because they would KNOW what is going on with MY child. Let me know how things go with this.
None of the posts you have ever made have made any sense (lol) but I kind of agree with you on this one.
Usualusername...I am sure most folks feel as you do. I am a little bit on the fringe of all things known to man! LOL
That letter is some 16 years old but is spot on. New ones are at the mercy of ignorance that is nurtured by lack of Watchtower disclosure, early on, of so many important issues. THE GREAT WATCHTOWER CONTRADICTION, an 11 minute read, is another disclosure of sorts that helps newly interested ones unearth answers to questions they may never have otherwise asked. It also gives pause to seasoned JWs who will hope they never encounter such in door to door work.
That is a very good letter. I would highly recommend sending it to someone who is starting a study. The Witnesses are not very forthright about the total and eternal transformation required to become one of their true friends.
Bangalore: I'm glad you posted that letter. Hopefully those who are allowing their young children to study for baptism will read this and reconsider sacrificing their children to this horrific CULT.

Lian Li TYR PC-X2000 Chassis
Published: 23rd September 2008 | Source: Lian Li | Price: £305 RRP |
Final Conclusion
The X2000 is certainly a beast of a case. It commands attention and oozes simplistic style. When I look at the X2000, it reminds me of an Italian supercar, with it's sleek lines and the attention to small details that Lian Li have made. Having said that though, just like an Italian supercar, not everything is perfect.
The Gripes
When I was building the rig up for testing, I found that the options for cable management were very limited within the case. I also found the cables they used for the I/O panel on the top of the case to be quite ugly - a much better alternative would have been for Lian Li to use black or braided cable, so it would be more in keeping with the overall styling of the case. Whilst this is a fairly minor niggle, I was more concerned with the available options with the cable management.
I like to spend time getting all cables organised and tidy...not only does it look better but it improves airflow through the case. Although Lian Li provided a couple of tie wraps and clips, there just wasn't anywhere where you could route most of the cables out of view, except for the SATA data and power cables, as they can be very easily hidden behind the SATA cages. Whilst you can get a tidy finish, you cannot avoid most cables being bunched up in view. I do feel however that I could have achieved a tidier finish than I did if I had more time to devote to the task.
One other thing worth mentioning is the placement of the I/O panel and power/reset switches. As they are located on the top of the case, you are limited to where you can place the case and under the desk is certainly not an option. I am sure Lian Li could have placed the panel and switches on either case side, which would have still left a clean look on the front panel.
The Good
Now let's talk about why I fell in love with this case! As mentioned previously, the styling is nothing short of superb. The build quality is also of the Lian Li usual standard, which is outstanding. When building the system, I was impressed with just how easy it was. The hard drive cages work brilliantly and save alot of hassle. The removable motherboard tray makes fitting the motherboard a piece of cake, and the PSU fitting was equally as simple. Even though the cable management options are limited, Lian Li have provided the relevant cut-outs and placed a rigid plastic grommet on these holes to save your fingers from cuts and scrapes.
Lian Li provided four 140mm and two 80mm fans as their cooling solution, and they are quite effective at keeping temperatures down. There was a noticeable difference in temperatures when using the different fan speed selections, with CPU temperatures varying as much as six degrees celsius from low to high speed settings. The fan controller is a welcome addition, but as with the top I/O panel and switches, Lian Li could have placed it better on the case. The massive dust filter works very well and is also a welcome addition. Within a couple of days usage, there was a visible layer of dust on the filter's nylon mesh so I know it works well. There should be space available to include an internal watercooling loop within the X2000 and if I had more time I would have investigated this further.
All in all, I feel that the minor niggles are far outweighed by the good points with this case. Lian Li have succeeded in making an attractive case with some really great features. Although the style, price and size of this case means that not everyone will appreciate it, you simply cannot dispute the quality which shines through. If you are looking for a case which is something out of the ordinary, want excellent quality and you don't mind paying a premium for this, then the X2000 is a very worthy consideration. The recommended retail price for the the X2000 is £305.
The Good
+ Excellent build quality
+ Hot swappable hard drive bays
+ Attention to detail and finish
+ Stylish design
+ Easy to build PC inside
+ Good airflow with supplied fans
+ Dust filter
+ Weight
+ Anodised internally and externally
The Mediocre
* Cable Routing
* I/O & Switch placement
* Price limits the appeal
The Bad
- Internal cables don't tie in with overall style
- Fan controller placement
Our thanks to A One Distribution and Lian Li for providing us with this case for review.

I think the minor niggles are perhaps something that can be overcome - but I do hear that for £305 u really shouldn`t have to, or there should be options included in the kit to assist u.
Ur damn lucky to get ur mits on that, it looks a pleasure to build in and work in.
The only thing I really don`t like are/is the i/o on/off section. The rest of the case features can be forgiven with the style and such, placing the things on the top is perhaps weird. However, I don`t think it`s designed to go under a desk, more to stand on it`s own in a room as a feature. A piece of furniture to comment upon. I`d imagine with it stood on the floor, the buttons/ports are very accessible.
Very nice review, I`d get them, not for the price they are atm tho.Quote
Even if I got rid of the bay full of stuff and the fan controller, I'm still one bay over the limit. If I was going to spend £305 on a case, I would expect enough room to stick in more optical drives. What if you were to buy a 5.25 res?
Other than that though it looks great, but I can't help feeling that its targeted markets such as HTCP (too big) or performance (not enough expansion) have been missed.Quote
My only point is that if I spent £300+ on a case, I'd want it as close to perfect as possible and having to make do with only 2 5.25" bays and a 3.5" isn't my cuppa. Perhaps they could have got rid of the 3.5 external for a third 5.25" (I seem to be the only person who still needs an fdd)Quote
A: They should have used black pcb boards for the sata section
B: Used black internal cables for the usb etc
C: Fan controller is in a completely ridiculous place, do something mad, touch screen it and make it flat with the case.
D: The price!!!!!!! DAMN!!! could go on holiday for that.
Nice case, not enough features for what they are asking rrp.
And im with you on that drive bay res, what if you do buy one (which most people do) then your screwed for placement of another bay. ( I only have 1 dvd drive and a fan controller and the fan controller is only there as I lost a bezel, ROFL)
But I do like the case, espcially the way they have coloured the inside which is one thing I think all companys should do. Quote

When I reviewed the case, I was concerned about the lack of drive bays, but unless Lian Li (got it right this time) had made the case taller or wider then they would be struggling to get any in. I think Lian Li have used every bit of available space they could in the design. Also as this is partly being touted as a HTPC, there isn't really a great call for massive amounts of 5.25" drive bays. I have the Antec Fusion HTPC case and that has just one 5.25" drive bay and it works brilliantly. I do agree that Lian Li could have done some things differently and the scores given do reflect this.
I have been using the rig built up since Saturday now, and I am still loving using the case, flaws and all. I tried the rig in my lounge last night and it looks superb stood next to my LCD TV. I had a spare TV card and got it running under Vista Media Centre. As my LCD is black with a small silver bezel, the case tied in and looked really cool. Even the missus agreed, which is no small featQuote

But as a HTCP case, looking around, although it isn't small form factor, it seems to be the price a lot of other high end HTCP cases go for. If you could stealth it a bit (Maybe hide it behind a big speaker etc.) it would very good.
That thing is HUGE.
As they have made all these different compartments, there's no where to hide most of the mobo's cabling!
Bad design, they should have though it though.Quote

Handbook of Reading Interventionsby Patricia Vadasy Rollanda O'Connor
Comprehensive, authoritative, and designed for practical utility, this handbook presents evidence-based approaches for helping struggling readers and those at risk for literacy difficulties or delays. Leading experts explain how current research on all aspects of literacy translates into innovative classroom practices. Chapters include clear descriptions of effective interventions for word recognition, spelling, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing, complete with concrete examples and teaching scripts. Coverage also encompasses preschool literacy instruction and interventions for older readers, English language learners, and students with learning disabilities, as well as peer-mediated and tutoring approaches.
Living with a Brother or Sister with Special Needs: A Book for Sibsby Donald J. Meyer Patricia Vadasy
Living with a Brother or Sister with Special Needs focuses on the intensity of emotions that brothers and sisters experience when they have a sibling with special needs, and the hard questions they ask: What caused my sibling's disability? Could my own child have a disability as well? What will happen to my brother or sister if my parents die? Written for young readers, the book discusses specific disabilities in easy to understand terms. It talks about the good and not-so-good parts of having a brother or sister who has special needs, and offers suggestions for how to make life easier for everyone in the family. The book is a wonderful resource, not just for siblings and their parents but also for teachers and other professionals who work with children with special needs. This revised and updated edition includes new sections on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, fetal alcohol syndrome, fragile X syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, ultrasound, speech therapy, recent legislation on disabilities, and an extensive bibliography.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 419 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alltaken2014 Group Stay We enjoyed the Westin Bayshore. A group of us had a cruise and then stayed afterward. The staff was incredibly polite, accommodating, and kind. The brunch was delicious with lots of variety. The servers were very attentive. Our beds were very comfortable. My only complaint is that the room could have been a bit cleaner. The walls hadn't been wiped so stains remained from previous guests. All in all it was a great stay and I would definitely recommend and return. September 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Canmore77 August 23 & 24, 2014 Everything was excellent, until our last afternoon... after a long day of exploring the city my boyfriend & I came back to relax by the pool - it was busy, but that was fine - we asked the server working the pool deck if we could order a drink as she was also taking others orders and her response was "I am too busy right now, you can go into the bar to order", she then continued to take others orders... my boyfriend went into the bar where all the staff were looking at one persons cell phone, he asked if anyone was able to assist him and he was told that he has to order from the server outside, when he explained he was told to come in here they didn't seem impressed. This is not normal Westin Hospitality, but I feel you shoul dbe made aware - this took place between 4 & 5:30pm on Sunday August 24th, 2014. September 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by GuestAug14 Far from expectations In August'14 I traveled a lot across US and Canada and stayed at many hotels. The Westin was the worst experience. Westin Bayshore Vancouver asked 199CAD per night without tax and offered: no Internet in room, weak Internet in the lobby, uncomfortable and unhealthy very soft beds, frequent maintenance visits during the day, food of poor quality, charges to my credit card which the stuff could not explain. Enough to be far from expectations. September 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alta25 Alta25 Great short stay but wish it could be longer. Location can not be beat. August 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnOnymous31 Good hotel, but expensive Very good hotel, but quite expensive! Wifi is not included in the price (free in lobby though), which is strange since even crappy hotels do have free wifi available for all guests. Also the Starbucks coffee on the room is not free, but this is not mentioned anywhere. August 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jeter1 local phone call charge Your charge for a local phone call was petty and ridiculous. Attempted to eat in your restaurant but was told there would be a 15 minute wait even though there were many empty tables. we went else where August 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Andypm Harbour View I was disappointed that the harbour view was just that of the end of the harbour and was mainly of the tower block rooms August 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Go1201 I loved every second If you want comfort and go for a jogging, this hotel is for you. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carlacars LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Beautiful location overlooking Coal Harbor, a seaplane terminal, lots of little boats and a few big ones. Saw a couple of seals swimming in the water nearby, lots of ducks and four swans in Lost Lake, a part of nearby Stanley Park. August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Trailrunner89 Incredible Location Waterfront-Stanley Park-Downtown-What more can you ask for. This hotel has 24 hr room service which we needed due to our late arrival, they also let us check out a bit later, I had 2 very tired teenagers to get moving. I was able to go for an amazing morning run at Stanley Park, they have directions right in your suite with a running route! Starbucks downstairs and restaurant, swimming pool. A great place, was worth the extra money to stay here. August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nicky71 Loved the hotels location! This hotel is right next to Stanley Park and near Robson Street. The location couldn't be better. I can't wait to come back to this hotel! August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kathy11 Loved the pool and the staff was very nice The service was excellent and helped us out with our cell phone issues. Everyone who worked as waitstaff at the conference was wonderful. The location of the hotel was perfect, and close to everything in town The hotel elevators were large and clean and the guest room was large enough for us to be comfortable in August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by travellingmama Great location and staff The Westin Bayshore overlooks Coal Harbor and is adjacent to Stanley Park. Staying there makes walking anywhere downtown easy. I interacted with a number of staff over our stay there and they were all, without fail, warm and helpful. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TessL I enjoyed our stay The hotel has a premier location: Coal Harbor, where everything is in close proximity like restaurants, Sea Wall, English Bay. Being a gold member, we were upgraded to a harbor view room. My only negative experience is that the TV remote control was not working. We had the remote control replaced, but the replacement unit stopped working again the following day. The hotel's TV does not work without the remote control, so it was a hassle to call and have a replacement again. Also, the lamp on the console did not have any light bulb. So it was dark looking at the mirror. I did mention about the missing bulb to housekeeping so they can put one on it. Over all, our stay was satisfactory and will return again given the opportunity someday. August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dooner Great hotels are based on great staff Moving beyond the beautiful setting, the wonderful views, and the great food, this place has a staff that is a step above even others in the Starwood collection. August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Myrna49 Fantastic stay at this hotel! I stayed here for a conference and my expectations were exceeded! Gorgeous room with a view of the harbour, beds that were incredibly comfortable and wonderful staff! Top notch hotel! August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LL432 Great Staff I was pretty distraught after my flight home was cancelled and I'd spent over an hour on the phone to get booked on a new flight the next day. Sam at the front desk very kindly and calmly booked a last minute overnight stay for me at a different Westin which offered a cheaper room rate for my unexpected extra night in Vancouver. August 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nikohl2014 Hotel needs an update The hotel is in a great location and the staff was wonderful. However, it was quite upsetting to see the difference between what the hotel looks like on the outside and what the rooms look like on the inside. The outside of the hotel looks beautiful and the rooms feel like a 2 star hotel. My husband and I went to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary; and had quite a rude awakening when we realized the condition of where we would be spending that special weekend. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RoxieB Fantastic hotel Our stay was incredible! The hotel is very well located in Vancouver and the view was breathtaking! The staff was excellent, courteous and responsive. Both restaurants were wonderful and we especially enjoyed the Seawall restaurant. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KC66 Great hotel Loved our stay at this hotel. Breakfast was a bit pricey. Wished we had known about the extra features inside the hotel. We didn't expect whale watching expeditions could be organized right inside the hotel. We would have taken advantage that had we known. I was at this hotel for s conference and this was also not advertised in part of the conference package. Massages were well advertised and were a welcome treat. We also loved the outdoor pool and proximity to many shops, dining, marina and finally Stanley park. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mcle6923 Gorgeous! This hotel was beautiful. The property itself was great, but the location was the best inVancouver! We loved it. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gubka Princess Cruise End Only there for 1 night at end of Alaskan Tour Cruise with Princess. Very long wait for bus from ship. Not sure if this was Westin or Princess.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JerryE14 Excellent stay to celebrate son's birthday My son and I came to Vancouver to celebrate his birthday and we had a wonderful time at the Westin Bayshore. This was his first trip to Vancouver. The staff, service & facilities at the hotel were excellent. The front desk manager, Jake, was outstanding and particularly helpful in a number of areas. August 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tanya2014 Nice hotel, poor service in some ares Location is excellent for this hotel, but the hotel needs a renovation in the room. Lobby is very nice. The front desk staff was very good, but luggage and bell staff was very poor. August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jilld3 Wonderful location and terrific view We stayed at the Westin Bayshore for five nights. We were upgraded to a fantastic suite with a living room and enough space for our family of five to spread out. The location was perfect for us. It was very close to Stanley Park, and we walked to wonderful restaurants and shopping. The views from our lanai were spectacular and watching the seaplanes come in, the boats and the sunset made for very relaxing evenings. The kids loved the large heated pool and the inside workout room was nice. Customer service here was top notch. Concierge Ayla steered us to wonderful restaurants and activities. Housekeeping kept our rooms in great order and even turned down my son's makeshift bed on the couch. This was our first family trip to Vancouver and hopefully not our last at the Westin Bayshore. August 10, 2014

The room was very nice and comfortable, the food at the Seawall Restaurant was very good and perfectly prepared. The grounds and property interior was very well maintained. Overall an excellent place to stay in Vancouver. August 10, 2014

I find it very disrespectful that there is an entrance to the new Deptford Veterans Memorial Park that features an American flag design that people can walk on. This park has been dedicated to veterans who fought and lost their lives to protect this flag.
I am a combat veteran who has participated in multiple conflicts to protect our country's freedoms, and I am sickened by this flag depiction. Our flag is not to be used as a walkway for people to walk on, spit on or wipe their feet on.
I'm sure that the artist had good intentions when he designed this, but many have many lost their lives and many have been permanently injured for what the American flag represents.
I know people will say that this is not an actual flag, but according to the Flag Code of the United States, Section 3, a flag is anything "by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag."
The code goes on to state "The words 'flag, standard, colors, or ensign', as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size ... or a picture or a representation ... upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either ... ."
According to the definition above, this part of Deptford's monument represents the flag.
Also, according to Section 8b of the code, "The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise."
In my opinion, Deptford Township should remove this flag depiction and honor our veterans in a more respectful way.
