The drill use to be when somebody new was elected to the legislature, the advice was find your seat, locate the bathroom and sit there and be quiet for awhile.
Oh my how times have changed since term limits came in.
Rep. Tim Greimel had about a year of experience under his belt when his colleagues elected him Democratic leader.
And now comes one Todd Courser, a devout Christian tea party devotee who is making noises he might want to be Speaker of the House.
Mr. Courser is likely to land a seat in the house after his win last week over the establishment GOP candidate from Lapeer, who also had tea party backing.
The very day after the election he told the MIRS news hounds that the next GOP leader could come from the ranks of the freshmen class, assuming they all get elected next November.
It was a bold, some would say outrageous, comment to make for a guy who is not even in the legislature yet, but that is vintage Mr. Courser. Two years ago he had the audacity to challenge Bobby Schostak for the chairmanship of the party and he darn near pulled it off. So this is no shrinking violet.
Mr. Courser observes that "the time for veneer has passed" as he asserts the Republican caucus needs a "strong and firm" conservative leader and not one who will court votes from
the Democrats "to get things passed."
Oh. Oh.
Apparently compromising with the other guys is not high on Mr. Courser's bucket list. That, of course, is contrary to what Gov. Snyder has talked about for years i.e. let's work together to get things done.
In fact the current GOP Speaker Jase Bolger is quite proud of his bi-partisan accomplishments and has molded a cooperative and respectful relationship with his counterpart Mr. Greimel, which the old-schoolers claim is the way to get things done.
If Mr. Courser ends up speaker and has his way, the house Democrats can take the next two years off since their votes won't be courted by him.
To be sure his hat is not in the ring as he admits it is "way, way, way premature" to speculate about running.
But if you slice and dice his comments you can't find anything that indicates he wants his name taken off the list of would-be Speakers either.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- There's been talk that a third intifada -- armed Palestinian uprising -- may be brewing. Some dismiss the notion as baseless while others sense it's true.
Rock, knife, firebomb attacks and vandalism -- "popular resistance" -- in Judea and Samaria are on the increase, but so are attacks within the so-called green line, defined today as separating Israeli territory inside the 1949 armistice lines from areas inhabited by Palestinians that came under Israeli sovereignty in the Six-Day War.
While many attribute attacks to stalled Israeli-Palestinian talks, blaming Israel for fomenting frustration, a closer look reveals otherwise.
As Palestinian leadership talks of retrieving all of "Palestine," school children are taught that Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jaffa and Jerusalem will one day be theirs.
During the second intifada (2000 - 2004) weekly suicide bombings in Israeli cities became the "norm." In the midst of the carnage, life continued, as people strove for normalcy in between attacks.
Though suicide bombings mostly stopped when the intifada ended, the incitement did not.
In August 2005, under former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the government carried out a unilateral pullout from the Gush Katif Settlement Bloc in the Gaza Strip. Twenty-one thriving Jewish communities near Gaza and four in Samaria were bulldozed and nearly 10,000 residents expelled in the hope it would lead to peace with the Palestinians.
Instead, terror training camps sprang up where towns once stood and rocket attacks on southern Israel increased exponentially.
The following spring, a Hamas-led terror cell tunneled under the border between Gaza and Israel and attacked an Israeli army outpost, killing two soldiers, wounding three and kidnapping IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit. More than five years later, Israel exchanged 1,000 terror prisoners for Shalit.
A few weeks after Shalit's kidnapping, a cross-border attack on an IDF post in the north killed more soldiers and sparked the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006.
Last year, the U.N. General Assembly granted nonmember status to the Palestinian Authority -- a step on the road to achieving statehood -- after a failed bid in the Security Council the year before. That designation also emboldened the P.A. to continue presenting preconditions for resuming talks it knows Israel cannot meet.
Meanwhile, Hamas and Islamic Jihad are busy training the next generation of jihadists, teaching them they can and will defeat the Zionists within their lifetimes.

Quilts are works of art, created from chosen bits and pieces of cloth, both old and new. When something is handmade, it carries the spirit and the passion of the artist.
Ken Rufener of Newton Falls was amazed at his wife, Edna M. Rufener's, talent of creating handmade quilts, which she learned from her mother. He recalled how she would make quilts as gifts for their children and grandchildren.
Edna Rufener died of cancer in 2007. She started many quilts before she died and never got to complete them. Her husband's goal is to get these special quilts completed in her memory. One of these quilts was the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt.

"She loved quilting," Rufener said. "She made quilts for our kids and grandkids all the time. The pieces of this quilt were cut by my wife six months before she passed away. I would sit with my wife and cut the pieces, and she would sew them together. I did not know that this quilt would be her last quilt, and she had all the pieces cut out and never finished it."
In October 2012, Rufener contacted Quilting B's in Cortland, owned and operated by Marianne and Jay Bice, to complete the top of the quilt.
Madeline Gradishar, Quilting B's employee, finished the top of the quilt on May 4.
Fact Box
Ken Rufener will be participating in the Newton Falls-Lordstown Relay For Life with the Bridge to a Cure team. The Relay will be held from 6 p.m. June 14 to 6 p.m. June 15 at Newton Falls High School, 907 Milton Blvd., Newton Falls.
"When I first took the quilt up to Quilting B's, all of the flowers in the quilt were separate pieces," Rufener said. "There were a lot of pieces in each flower. Madeline had all the flowers made and then laid them out on the floor and decided what she was going to put in each row."
Marianne Bice was glad to help Rufener with his wife's unfinished quilt.
"I tend to get emotional when husbands come in and bring in these project their wives have started," Bice said. "It makes me happy to know that they take pride in their wives' projects."
Bice said that while the top of the quilt is finished, it can take another six months to a year to complete the hand quilting.
Bice said that the Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt project was an involved process, but the time and care was worth the labor.
"The Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt consists of one-inch octagons," she said. "The center of the flowers is a one-inch octagon and multiple colors go around this octagon. The quilt is made up of thousands of 1-inch octagons, hand-stitched to each other. It's beautiful and a beautiful memory of Ken's wife," Bice said.
"I think it will make him happy that we finished his wife's dream. I really enjoy doing this for people. The people we do this for are so grateful and they are so happy, and in turn, this makes us happy."
Jay Bice, Marianne Bice's husband and co-owner of Quilting B's, was a design engineer for Delphi for 25 years. Today, Bice enjoys incorporating this same artistic sense and ability to the art of quilting and sewing. Jay Bice will be putting the batting and backing on Rufener's quilt.
"I find the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt project and quilting very therapeutic and calming," Jay Bice said. "I got to know Ken Rufener really well and you like the man right away. His quilt is done all in the same style as the way his wife started it. Madeline did a wonderful job. It's hard to tell the difference between what Madeline did and what his wife started. It was a pleasure to work on a beautiful quilt like this."
Kathy Harvey, daughter of Ken and Edna Rufener, has many fond memories of her mother's quilt making.
"She was talented, she did it all the time," Harvey said. "She was into quilting for as long as I can remember. I wasn't into quilting, but I just watched her make quilts. I have a few of her quilts at home that she made throughout the years. It's wonderful to see the quilts complete."

March 9, 2010 -- Good health may not only help you live longer, but it could also help you enjoy a longer, more satisfying sex life.
A new study shows people who are in good health are nearly twice as likely to be interested in sex in middle and older age and also more likely to report having a busy and satisfying sex life.
Researchers say sexual activity has long been associated with health benefits and longevity, but this is the first study to look at how general health affects the quality of sex as people age and calculate what they call a person's "sexually active life expectancy."
Using information gathered from more than 6,000 men and women in midlife and later life, researchers estimate that at age 55, the average sexually active life expectancy is 15 years for men and 10.6 years for women.
"Although the period is longer for men, they lose more years of sexually active life as a result of poor health than women," write researcher Stacy Tessler Lindau, associate professor at the University of Chicago, and colleagues in the journal BMJ.
But the gender disparities don't stop there.
"Overall, the study found that men have a longer sexually active life expectancy and that most sexually active men report a good quality sex life. In contrast, only about half of sexually active women reported a good quality sex life," write the researchers. "This disparity, and its implication for health, requires further exploration."
Other findings of the study include:
- At the age of 30, men have a sexually active life expectancy of nearly 35 years; women, almost 31 years. At 55, this average sexual life expectancy changes to almost 15 remaining years for men and 10 years for women.
- By age 75, 17% of women and 39% of men were sexually active. But for those with a partner, these gender differences were much smaller.
- About two-thirds of sexually active middle-aged men and women reported having a good-quality sex life. But only five out of 10 older women reported a good-quality sex life, compared with seven out of 10 older men.
- Older men were three times as likely to be interested in sex as older women (62% vs. 21%).
- People in very good health were 1.5 to 1.8 times more likely to report an interest in sex than those in poorer health.
- Among those who were sexually active, good health was also associated with more frequent sex (once or more weekly) in men and with a good-quality sex life in men and women.

Catholics prepare for Pope's final audience
Catholics around the world will be focused on the Vatican today, as Pope Benedict XVI prepares for his final papal audience, this time not in the Pope Paul VI Audience Hall, where it is typically held on Wednesday mornings, but inSt. Peter's Square, where at least 200,000 people are expected to attend and bid him a heartfelt farewell.
As of 2:00 p.m. tomorrow when his resignation goes into effect, the Pope will become the Roman pontiff emeritus or pope emeritus and be known as His Holiness Benedict XVI. Although authorized to do so, Cardinals have yet to decide whether they will start the conclave to elect a new Pope sooner.
After Thursday, Benedict XVI will still wear a white cassock but without the mozzetta, the short cape that covers his shoulders; he will no longer wear the red shoes typically worn by the Pope and will instead wear a pair of brown loafers gifted to him during a visit to León, Mexico in 2012.
On Thursday, the Pope will head to Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence, for a few days of rest. Benedict XVI will lead a quiet life of prayer in the Vatican after the new Pope is chosen by the Conclave of Cardinals.

I have been having a really hard time sleeping lately. I think it's been adding up for a couple of reasons. For one, we don't have any central air conditioning in my apartment. The landlord never mentioned that (that I recall) when I signed the lease in November, and it's been pretty brutal. Our small building is made of brick, and there are no trees to cover the thing like there is on every other house in the neighborhood. As such, sitting inside is like hanging out in an oven, since you get cooked to death. The temperature is always about 5 degrees hotter inside than it is outside.
Last night was really unbearable. I hadn't slept the night before very well, and left work early to get some sleep, which in turn made it so I couldn't fall asleep last night on time either. The heat wasn't making things any better, either. The temperature inside was 83 degrees, and that was with every window open and some fans turned on. Pretty crazy. I didn't fall asleep until 3 a.m. or so, I think, and that was after going to bed about 11:30. Then I had to rush into work, tired, this morning to finish up a project and the fun cycle starts up all over again. I'm probably gonna take off just to get a nap so I can catch up, and restart the whole thing.
Last night I thought about taking some sleeping medication to help me fall asleep, but I've never taken any, and the whole idea makes me really nervous. How does something make you fall asleep? What I'm really worried about is coming to depend on it, since I believe most health problems in life can be solved ourselves by eating right, exercise and of course getting to bed on time. So I roughed it out and finally fell asleep, but it was brutal. Today, I'm going to go buy a ceiling fan for my bedroom. That should help. Only 3 more months in my lease, and I'm outta there … too bad we're only at the start of summer.

Travel Pictures before Photography
WHAT: A live travel journal from the site of the original 1770 Picturesque tour by William Gilpin.
WHY: Exploring the effects of time, changes in tastes, and the impact of photography on our view of landscape and travel.
WHERE: Wye Valley, on the border between England and Wales
WHEN: September 21, 2005
HOW: A "live" daily journal, complete with photographs, interactive BLOG, and historical references during the last week of September through the middle of October.
WHO: Darryl Baird, photographer and Associate Professor of Art, University of Michigan-Flint AND Janet Lorch, artist and web designer.
"Re-Picturing the Picturesque" is a creative research project looking at the early days of tourism and the recording of pictures during the journeys. Early travel often required a knowledge of aesthetic theory to "properly" experience the landscape and including the making and "taking" of pictures. Although before the invention of photography, the ideas and impulses of this style of picture-making would establish a ready and eager public's ambition to create lasting images of landscapes. This project will recreate and examine this early style of picture-making and update the experience through modern technologies.

In the early twentieth century, L.A. purchased water rights by buying up farmland and conveying the water back to L.A. These purchases created a legacy of distrust and suspicion, as people began to view the trades as theft. Gary Libecap takes a second look at the L.A.-Owens Valley transfers.

What will it take to pass a jobs program?
The failure to enact a big enough economic stimulus is the biggest reason the country's in this mess. Obama and the movement that led to his election were too young; the victory was too new and fragile.
The battles that must be won
Re-electing Obama in 2012, preserving unions and public services, defeating racism, advocating for LGBT rights, fighting for a massive jobs program and ending the wars overseas are must win battles.
Will Obama meetings on immigration reform bear fruit?
The meetings were apparently a response to pressure on the administration to back off of its aggressive immigration enforcement efforts.

Over the last few months I worked, on my spare time, on a new web development project: the site for the Web.NET Conference. It was a refreshing experience, going back working on custom development on ASP.NET MVC 4 and all the latest bits of technology. That gave me quite a few ideas for posts, so over the next weeks I'm going to blog about some of the bits and pieces of code that I think are worth sharing with the community, like ActionResults, HtmlHelpers together with my first real-coding experiences with RavenDb. As first post I'm not focusing...
This is the blog of Simone Chiaretta, an Italian .NET developer, architect, Microsoft MVP, ASPInsider, Subtext core member, ASP.NET MVC lover with a passion for mountain climbing.

So you had better write it down.
Thursday, June 19th. Mechanicsburg, Pa.
Food. Lots of it.
People. Lots of them.
Heat. Learn to sweat copiously, and like it.
Rain. Well, I don't know about this one yet, but we have had some pretty violent downpours during Jubilee Day in the past.
I will be the good looking, bald guy, taking pictures. And most likely eating a sausage and pepper sandwich. And just maybe tossing back a couple of cold ones at the G-man. If I can find a spot to stand.
Come up and say "Hi". And I will take your picture, and make you famous.

A term coined by Ricky in a Mad TV "I Love Lucy" skit. It pretty much means "heck" as in "what the heck". It just adds the "fu" in there to make it almost sound like the infamous F word so that it wouldnt be bleeped out on television.

Should tobacco use be banned on college campuses in Ohio?
The policy would exempt "tobacco when integral to university research and tobacco-funded research."

I think that anyone that wants to smoke should be able to smoke. I also think those that do not want to smoke should not be forced to inhale others smoke. To protect the rights of the non-smokers I think all public smoking should be banned. If you want to smoke go some place where it is not going to infringe on others rights that does not want to smoke.

Ok, then driving should be outlawed because I don't want to breathe your exhaust. Industry should be outlawed. Farming should be outlawed because someone else might breathe in sprayed chemicals or fumes from the tractor. Where does it stop? You ask for a nanny state and you'll get one.

Grant, we have laws that regulate exhaust emissions and industrial pollutants why shouldn't we have laws that regulate smoking? I don't believe the desire to breath clean air is tantamount to wanting a nanny state. If you want to experience what it would be like to breath air in an environment without regulations, I suggest you take a visit to China.

Grant we really shouldn't have to have laws like this, but it is the inconsiderate attitude of some smokers that don't care about those around them, when they light up, that makes them needed. The smoking ban laws in certain areas don't take away their right to smoke it just prohibits infringing on others rights. If you take the attitude that anyone should be able to do anything anywhere they want and the rest just have to live with it, we would have anarchy. Is that what you want? I am not against laws agreed upon by the majority. That is what keeps our society civil. If exercising my rights around others infringes on the rights of others then we do not have a free society do we? It would only be free for some and the rest would just have to accept it. Sensible laws that take everyones rights into consideration is what makes for a sensible society.

Well, I tell everyone I see smoking that it can kill them because it killed my Dad...but, I believe laws should be very carefully thought out and honestly new laws passed if there is no other way.
Should there be smoking in a closed area such as a restaurant or classroom or lounge...nope. Should a law be written to take away a person's right to harm themselves when there is overwhelming proof that cigaretts kill...maybe, but?
Maybe all these laws would be harder to pass if we demanded the legislature reduce at least 25 old laws for every new law to be passed.

Kozy, I believe a person has a right to smoke, not take their meds, whatever, they are responsible for their own health. However, when what they do infringes on the health of others the equation changes. For instance, I have a grandson who suffers from severe asthma, something as simple as second hand smoke can trigger an attack, shouldn't he have a right to public areas without fear of getting sick?
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Oh...ok, so I don't have to worry about car exhaust or anything like that then? So the entire climate change agenda is null and void, right?
My only point is, you give lawmakers an inch and they take a mile. That's been proven time and time again. The better way to handle it is to participate in private groups that discourage smoking and teach of the dangers of it. Or if you're in a place where a smoker is bothering you, politely ask them to put it out. If you let the government assume these powers then you're giving them precedent to do much more. No one ever seems to think of the unintended consequences. You don't think it'll create a nanny state? Well, you can't buy a 32 oz. Coke in NYC anymore. Where does it end? The answer is, it doesn't. You can't let it start.
P.S., I saw your last bit right as I was about to post this--you believe you have a right to go into a public area and not catch the flu?
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Grant I understand your concern and to a point I agree. We can not let the government take complete control of our lives. However we also can't let people do things that directly effects others. Our liberties do not give us the right to infringe on others. ? With liberty comes responsibility. I realize there is a fine line there. I don't think the amount of tax they are allowed to put on a pack of cigarettes is right either. I heard of one state that it was over $6 a pack. The sad part is it is usually those that can least afford to smoke that do, so it just puts a bigger tax burden on those at the lower end of the economic scale. I think if someone want to kill themselves with tobacco they should be allowed to do so, just don't take others that don't want to go that way with you.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Then why aren't you arguing that someones car exhaust is infringing on your right to breathe clean air? Unless you're blowing it in someones face, no one can make the argument that you are directly infringing on someone else's rights in an open air environment and have any credibility if they don't start attacking exhaust fumes, power plants, cow *****. Why stop there? We should just kill everyone because they exhale CO2 and it's toxic to the human body. If you're in a public place, DO NOT EXHALE! You may infringe on someone else's right to not inhale CO2.
Don't we have more important fish to fry than this?

concerned, I agree and why I'm so against Obamacare. The real problem with our healthcare was cost, not quality. Obamacare is forcing people who don't want insurance to have insurance and for the rest of us to pay for it AND, the government is running it (scarry).
What happened to, if youmake a choice...you live with your choice. If you are here illegially or choose to go insurance free...you don't get covered care...you have to pay for services renderd.
If you choose to smoke and get sick...you pay for care not covered by your insurance, if any, and most probably die younger than you should. My concern is for those who are affected by your smoking and aren't making a choice.

This isn't about whether or not smoking should be allowed indoors or in places where others are subjected to second hand smoke such as entrances to buildings...that's already regulated by the state. This is about anywhere on campus, no matter how remote or segregated. If the colleges feel they have a tobacco nuisance on their campuses then they could designate a smoking area in an out of the way place that would not interfere with passersby. Otherwise, expect to see dozens or hundreds of students standing right outside the edge of campus puffing away between each class. Wouldn't that look nice?
I understand that if a college accepts state money for their operations then the state can influence the school's policies. What about the non-state funded school? Shouldn't that school be allowed to set it's own policies?

How does telling someone they can't smoke not infringe on their rights?
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The state wants to convey the idea that tobacco is bad and it does not want people using it but yet they don't just outlaw it. Maybe that has to do with the huge sum of money in brings in on tobacco taxes.

Big. F&%$*ing. Dillema.
So there's this chick whose been hanging out with my group of friends lately when we go out, she's 19, black with curly hair, has HUGE TITS and a cute ass, basically hot as HELL (she's in the top 5 chicks I ever met in real life). I haven't met that many black chicks, so it's a real novel thing to be in the presence of one who is soooo hot.
I've been hitting it off really well with her, (like i'm 90% sure she's into me too) but I also have a girlfriend right now who I cherish and love, she's helped me clear my head recently. Problem is, i'm a little impulsive sometimes. So I don't know if this chick gives me more signals will I be able to resist the temptation to grab her and kiss her and stuff.
Should I hit it, or should I try to get my mind of her and her boobies?

If the black broad doesn't know your g/f and has no connection with her at all, then I would tap it on the side and keep your mouth shut.
If however the black broad knows people who know your gf then take Mang's advice.

Think about about the pros and cons, should you decide to spit some game on this chick. Then ask yourself if the consequences are worth it.
Do you love your chick enough to disregard this as a mere distraction?
I'm not going to tell you what to do, even though I've been in your shoes regarding a situation like this many times. Ultimately, you got to rely on you to solve this dilemma.
Good luck, homie.

The debate over term limits and U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry has reached its limit.
For some reason (well, there is a campaign going on, now that we think about it), the issue of term limits with the Clarendon Republican has cropped up — again.
Some are under the impression Thornberry has backtracked on his promise to serve only a certain number of terms in the House (Thornberry has been in the House since 1995).
There is a small problem, though. Thornberry never promised to serve x-number of years.
What Thornberry did was pledge to support a constitutional amendment, related to the "Contract With America" in 1994, that would have applied term limits in Congress — six terms for House members and two terms for senators.
Again — Thornberry never came up with some magic number of terms, and then promised to ride off into the sunset.
"As a matter of fact, I intentionally did not say I would only serve x-number of terms. I think that is a dumb thing to do, even if you think that in your own mind," Thornberry said Monday in a phone interview with AGN Media. "If you say it publicly, then that automatically limits your effectiveness.
"I was really careful in never saying I will only do such-and-such. I said it at the beginning, and I've always said it — I support term limits that apply to everybody across the board."
Had the term limit principles in the "Contract With America" survived, you would be reading a different editorial right now, because Thornberry would not be running.
It should be noted that Thornberry has voted in support of term limits numerous times.
"It takes a constitutional amendment (for term limits), that means it takes a two-thirds vote to pass the House, the Senate, etc.," Thornberry said. "It has never got a two-thirds vote in the House to pass, and I've voted for all of them."
In this case, the congressman is not saying one thing — or voting one way — and doing another.
Thornberry promised to support term limits that apply to the entire Congress, not just himself, and he has kept that promise.

Persistent complications result relative to the mechanical nature of cardiac valve replacements. The most successful alternative presently available is the aortic valve homograft. In each of the several centers using homografts, a different method of preparation and storage is used.1-5 A series of experiments was designed to compare some of these techniques with the fresh aortic valve homograft. To the authors' knowledge this represents the only published series of canine whole-valve homografts transplanted into the subcoronary position.

Donor dogs were anesthetized with sodium methohexital (Brevital Sodium), 5 mg/kg, and exsanguinated from the left carotid artery, the blood being subsequently used for cardiopulmonary bypass. The right chest was then prepared and draped and the heart removed under sterile conditions within an hour of death. The aortic valve was dissected from surrounding tissue and the aorta trimmed to within 3 mm of the valve annulus. All myocardial and fibrous

A suburban Denver high school student who was shot in the head by a classmate died Saturday afternoon, hospital officials said in a statement.
Claire Davis, 17, was in critical condition after being shot at point-blank range at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13. Friends and well-wishers had posted prayers online and raised money to help pay for her medical care.
"It is with heavy hearts that we share that at 4:29 p.m. this afternoon, Claire Davis passed away, with her family at her side," the statement from Littleton Adventist Hospital.
"Despite the best efforts of our physicians and nursing staff, and Claire's fighting spirit, her injuries were too severe and the most advanced medical treatments could not prevent this tragic loss of life. Claire's death is immensely heartbreaking for our entire community, our staff and our families."
Karl Pierson, 18, shot Davis, who just happened to be sitting nearby with a friend as Pierson, armed with a shotgun, ammunition strapped to his body, Molotov cocktails and a machete, entered the school and headed toward the library. Davis appeared to be a random target, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson has said.
Pierson likely intended to track down a librarian who had disciplined him, but Robinson said Pierson's arsenal suggested Pierson intended to hurt many others at the school just 8 miles from Columbine High School.
Pierson set off one of the incendiary devices and fired five shots before killing himself just one minute and 20 seconds after entering the building. He knew a sheriff's deputy assigned to the school was closing in, Robinson said at a news conference.
Students held vigils for Davis after the shooting. Typical was a story told by classmate Maggie Hurlbut.
"One time I remember I was upset in the hallway, and she came up to me and she just – it was like, 'Hey Maggie, I know we don't know each other well but are you doing OK?' And I told her yeah, and she was like, 'Anything you need, I'm here for you,' " Hurlbut said.
"Again, that's who she is, and she just wants to take care of others, and that was really just a good representation of her character and who she was."

This is a grim Super Bowl traffic report that has nothing to do with road congestion.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and other high-profile officials are using the spotlight of the 48th Super Bowl to shine attention on human trafficking, referred to as the "modern slavery."
Advertisements are appearing on Times Square, bringing a sober message to counter the other party images of America's premier sporting event.
Human trafficking often involves forcing people into prostitution or labor to pay their debt for being brought to America.
According to Forbes, 10,000 prostitutes were brought to Miami for the 2010 Super Bowl and 133 minors were arrested for prostitution during the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas.
"One hundred and fifty years after the Civil War, we have slaves in our country," said former New Jersey Attorney General and U.S. Sen. Jeff Chiesa, who joined Christie and Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, at a security compound in Bergen County.
Christie said of human trafficking: "Intimidation is its biggest element."
"You've got folks who believe they're coming to this country for one reason — to purse freedom and liberty and economic opportunity — and yet they are literally enslaved," he said. "The reason this is so hard to detect is because most of these folks come from places where law enforcement is not part of the solution, it's part of the problem."
During an event two months ago in Arizona, home of next year's Super Bowl, Christie called human trafficking "abject slavery" and called on political leaders to publicly shame the classified-advertisement websites that indirectly foster it.
Cindy McCain said she has talked with NFL officials in the hopes that future Super Bowl host cities will in part be chosen on "what kind of human trafficking laws they have on the books."
She and Chiesa said the fight against human trafficking needs to continue beyond Super Bowl week.
"The Super Bowl will leave here on Monday morning, and human trafficking will not," Chiesa said. "The victims will still be here. The predators will still be here. And we need to be prepared to deal with them long term."
Lexie Smith, 22, put a face on the problem of sexual exploitation of children.
She lived it.
"I grew up in a middle-class, suburban Chicago," she began. "I have a protective and loving mother and father, yet I was exploited at a very young age. My story begins at the age of 2, with an opportunistic cousin addicted to pornography, and I'm his sexual experiment. He trained me well for the adolescent pedophile who would come into my life by the age of 10 through the careful coordination of a family member receiving things in exchange for turning a blind eye. Conditioned, threatened, silenced and ashamed. This continued for 10 years, from the age of 2 to 12.
"The details of this life-altering event are something I don't have the time to share," she continued. "But I will tell you this. The moment I was first raped at the age of 6, everything changed."
Smith has dedicated her life to eradicating modern day slavery, sharing her story in schools to empower students to speak up for one another.
"Until everyone is free, I will speak up," she said.

Every now and again I find myself at a loss and hope for you fine, noble folk to offer insight where I lack it.
In this case I'm calling on all the visually, digitally creative ones among us, with the following problem:
See, every now and again I fancy drawing something, I sketch some, erase some, and sketch some more.
When I'm satisfied, I grab my ink pen, re-draw the lines and smile with glee at the finished product.
I then proceed to dust-off my scanner and make a scan of the work-of-fiction (600 Dpi, 'Black-and-white' color setting)
Once done I import the file to Photoshop and I'm presented with what I drew.
Whenever I import a scan, when zooming in, you can see that all the lines are very "ugly"
and coloring that is NOT something I consider doing and even "cleaning it up" is a no-go
So some time ago, I decided its best to just re-trace it yet AGAIN with the pen-tool, creating nice lines,
stroking the path I created.
The problem is: when I fill a particular area, there remains a small 'border" of sorts, between the filled area and the outline,
a border of transparency, if you will.
Up till now I've been selecting the area and expanding it by 1 pixel and then filling, but that sort of "fucks" my other lines,
pen-tool-stroking (that's a word now) with the 'pencil-tool', instead of the 'brush-tool' gives incredibly nasty lines,
so that's not an option either.
I'd love to just fill everything to the edges without having to compromise other drawn lines by means of expanding.
Is there another way solve my problem, other than the two I just mentioned, or am I stuck to selecting-and-expanding?
Thanks in advance for any help offered, I know this might be a bit vague.
More details can be given when asked for.
- Lith. ...Loss.

HOLLAND, MI -- Republicans should let the dust settle, take a deep breath and analyze what they did wrong and what they did right in the last election before making any rash reactions, a veteran political consultant and public relations executive said.
John Truscott, the press secretary to former Gov. John Engler and the head of Truscott Rossman, gave that advice during an address he delivered to West Coast Chamber members Tuesday, Nov. 13.
"You can't change what happened in the election. What we need to do is move on and prepare for the 2014 elections," Truscott said while providing a post-election rundown to 150 Chamber members at the Haworth Inn and Conference Center.
He gave credit to President Barack Obama's reelection team for a strong "ground game" that used technology along with state Democratic organizations to get out the vote.
The things Truscott felt hurt the Romney campaign the most was a grueling schedule of 20 primary debates and the ill-timed Superstorm Sandy.
"Romney came out of the primary debates bloody and with no money while Obama was beating his brains out in Ohio. It was nearly impossible for him to recover," Truscott said.
But Romney almost did recover in the closing days of the campaign and might have gotten a different outcome if Sandy didn't intervene.
"He had momentum going when campaigning stopped for three days and all eyes focused on the storm," he said.
Turning to the state elections and the defeat of all of the constitutional amendments on the ballot, Truscott said he hoped outside interests learned that the people of Michigan don't want the state constitution messed with.
"We sent a message to them that they can't come in and dictate our constitution," said Truscott, whose firm ran the campaign against Proposal 3, an amendment to force power companies to produce 25 percent of the state power requirements from renewable sources like wind by 2025.
"This was a huge turnaround from 73 percent viewing the proposal positively to 68 percent opposed," he said.
Truscott said more than $200 million was spent on all election advertising in the state, about $30 million of it by backers of Proposal 6, an amendment to have a public vote on a new bridge crossing to Canada, most of it financed by owners of the privately held Ambassador Bridge.
"They ran the most dishonest campaign I've ever seen in my life. The only thing true in the campaign was that it involved a bridge and it involved Michigan," Truscott said.
The New International Trade Crossing Bridge, as it is being called, will likely proceed and create "tens of thousands of jobs" for Michigan workers, though Ambassador owner Matty Moroun will likely keep fighting the bridge all the way.

Males are clueless when it comes to the purview of the female of the species.
Like the poor confused caribou in Jack London's tales of Alaska during the gold rush years of the 1890s, today's average father of an engaged daughter stands by haplessly as packs of wolves (the females in the family) plot his demise. Certainly the savage slaughters of the Arctic tundra seem an apt comparison to the planning of a wedding and reception.
Instead of slashing teeth, the females use a Platinum Visa Card to make the Old Buck (father) bleed profusely from a wicked wound to the hind quarters.
Luckily, the elder is joined in his confusion by a Young Buck (also known as the future son-in-law). He, too, stands idly by waiting to catch his share of the bills the females are ginning up, or - if he is lucky - a shot straight to the head from a hunter who cannot tell the difference between an innocent deer and an even more innocent bridegroom.
Certainly, human mating games of the 21st century are more complex (and a heckuva lot more expensive) than the howling canine massacres of "White Fang" and "Call of the Wild." It is difficult for today's human males to understand how much the females have "saved them" by choosing this dress or location over another. Much like the noble - but dumb - caribou, they discover they were not guests at the party, they were the meal.
The unwitting young male may say out loud, "But how about that (red, blue, short or long) dress I love you in? How about's we get married at that joint with the sweet potato fries and no cover charge?"
Ah, you poor feckless lout. Your only possible ally is your future father-in-law - and he has already been told by the senior female in the pack to clam up and clear the balance on the second credit card.
No, the groom is not going to spend the second quarter of his wedding day enjoying deep-fried cholesterol and cheap draft beer. The father of the bride is destined to pass that fateful day moping about the loss of his princess and trying to count the number of drink tickets cashed at the bar.
But, the bride will be a vision in white. Her mother will be a vision in enforcement. And, all the males involved will be thankful for the women in their lives - and the strength they displayed that made the day possible.

Lola is a great hostess and owner. We were warmly greeted and shown around the BB and restaurant. Room was very clean, spacious and well appointed and cozy. Even had a small balcony overlooking the countryside. It was the perfect location for visiting Madrid. We like to stay in smaller, quiet towns and villages when visiting large and busy cities, so this was the ideal location to come back and relax and unwind from 8 hours of sightseeing. Would highly recommend and certainly return.

Nokia Lumia 920 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments

This is a misquote of the press release: 'uses "advanced floating lens technology" to take photos in five times more light than competing smartphones without using flash.' and makes no sense.
Please change to: ...'takes in five times more light than competing smartphones without using flash'
My 2 year old Nokia N8 takes better photos than this. Such a shame Nokia keep going backwards.
Nokia is still alive!? Now that's a surprise. I don't think I'll exhagerate too much if I say that no company in the world has fallen so deep from so high. From the unquestionable world leader to a big pile of nothing with the worst client support ever, in just 5 years.
Nokia keeps touting their camera but that alone will not get people to buy this phone. The camera is not something you use everyday and won't justify the big monthly data plan. Windows Phone 8 has a longer learning curve especially with the hub navigation. I don't understand why they use big font as buttons and the mono-color tiles are boring. App development is far behind Apple and Android. If Nokia want to get more sales, they needs to get people to convert from Apple or Android and the Windows OS will not cut it. Their customers are coming from Nokia loyalists or old Symbian users.
Nice review! You should also review some of Nokia's camera apps, or lenses. Also, Nokia is updating the camera firmware for the 920/925/928 in an update called "Amber", so please update this review when they do! I'm glad Nokia is focussed on photography, i cant wait for the next lumia with a 41mp sensor (yes this does actually have benefits)
Impressive range of features for a smartphone. Excited to see what they bring in the future.
A good review and I would like to see more reviews with the app features. I am a Lumia 920 user. It is not fair to say that it takes worse pictures than N8 which I used for many years. N8 takes descent photos but no comparison to 920 for night scene. 920 also takes excellent movie with the image stablizer. Windows phone 8 is not monotone tiles. I have many different tiles colors and style. Also, I can change theme color any time depends on the mood that day which is not possible for iPhone and Android. Apps is the weak point for WP8 but they are catching up very fast. I have no shortage off all the major apps. If you do not look back at Nokia history and take this as a new startup, indeed with the new OS, they did a very great job and Lumia is a strong series to compete with Aplple and Samsunf.
I recently got a 920, the images have been great so far even the low light ones, I'm really happy with it. A long while back I had an N8 but you can't compare the two, N8 doesn't have the image stabilisation for a start. Would like to see a review of the Windows Phone photography apps, any plans?
This was a really good review in part of the camera aspect! As a 920 user I can just speak for myself when saying that the "minimalistic" UI really is something that I have wanted from my phone for a long time. The typical "this icon has 10 different colors and a shape what pictures what this program does" is in my mind too long lived. And they just look a bit ... old, 90's. Everybody has been talking about the Apps (or lack of). But as with other phones, you do not need all the 1M fart apps nor do you need too much of the photography apps as Nokia has done a great job creating the camera "lenses" that do some quite nice magic all by themselves.
I've got my yellow Lumia 920 for a month now along with a red fatboy pillow. That's a killer combo. Cinemagraph and smart shoot should have non been overlooked in this review as they are a great addition to camera functionality and things seem to get even better with next update.
I have a nokia Lumia 920 and I recently switched from Galaxy note, Lumia 920 is quality while galaxy note is quantity and total crap compared to such well crafted lumia 920.
I have been using Nokia Lumia 920 and i am enjoying using it. Its really comprises of good features. I am very fond of clicking pictures and its camera is too good , it gives very good output with high quality snapshots.
Am exited about this amazing phone, photography and navigation are extremly good. Here transit works very well even in chennai.
Low light photography, smart shoot are amazing
Cinematograph adds the fun element and a trigger to your innovation.
This has became the best companion for me, be it official, social or personal. there is every thing in it.
Just go for it.
I've been a Nokia Lumia 920 owner for 4 weeks now, it's an amazing phone, very good apps for photography, it takes excellent photos and video, but I use it most for work, reading e-mails, open and edit office documents, SkyDrive app, keeping up to date in the social media and the best of it: all the here maps apps, find whatwever you need, wherever you are. Some cool stuff is that it has wireless charging capabilities and gorilla glass screen (accidentally I have droped it several times) I'm very happy with it so far.
I have lumia 920 and I am very happy, it's one of the best phones as it features Windows 8, it takes excellent pictures and videos and applications amazing in addition to having the best GPS mapping application and quality. also the design is very comfortable and I loved the colors, I love my Lumia 920
Hi…. I need to know that, some nokia dealers say do not buy this phone. Because there are some problems in battery & power.
Is it true guys who already have this…
Have a nice day…..
I have been using this phone for nine months. So far I didn't have any battery and power problem. I have a few friends using this phone and none of them have any complaints. On the other hand, the battery life is quite good when compared to iPhones and Galaxy phone. I seldom use power bank unless I know I will heavy use the phone, like taking many photos or using GPS for a few hours. I see most people using iPhones or GS. They always need to carry external power bank for back up. Those phone just cannot last for half day. Why someone willing to pay high prices for a phone thin & light, but at the end need to buy a bulky power bank? Why phone maker cannot design phone that good and sufficient battery to last at least a normal day. Nokia make the right balance.
In fact, I just brought Lumia 1020 for my wife as she was amazed by my phone. I also plan to upgrade to Lumia 1520.
