Washington -- When President Barack Obama awards the Medal of Honor today to an Army chaplain killed in the Korean War, Jim Ferris of Clay will be among those invited to witness the ceremony.
Ferris, 81, president of the national Korean War Veterans Association, said his group was among those pushing for the nation's highest military medal to be awarded posthumously to Father Emil J. Kapaun, a military chaplain who died as a prisoner of war 60 years ago.
Ferris will be joined by Korean War veterans from around the nation at 2:10 p.m. to watch President Obama present the medal to the Catholic priest's relatives for his "extraordinary heroism" during fighting in Unsan in 1950 and after his capture as a prisoner of war.
Capt. Kapaun, who died at age 35 in 1951, helped those wounded in the battle of Unsan, where witnesses said he ran 200 to 300 yards to rescue wounded American soldiers while under enemy fire.
Kapaun allowed himself to be captured so that he could care for wounded American soldiers in a prison camp, actions that also helped make him a candidate for sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church.
The U.S. Army Chaplain Corps says Kapaun embodied the unit's mission to nurture the living, care for the wounded and honor the fallen.

Figure 1. Slightly scaly, thin, erythematous papules and plaques on the face, predominantly in a periorbital and perioral distribution.
Figure 2. Eroded, erythematous plaques of the genital and gluteal regions.
Acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE), a disorder in which gastrointestinal absorption of zinc is defective, is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. The name was coined by Danbolt and Closs1 in 1942 to describe the acrally predominant rash present in some patients with diarrhea. The association of AE with zinc deficiency was not discovered until 1974.2
Zinc deficiency associated with a similar rash may be the result of a dietary deficiency, malabsorption of zinc, or an abnormal loss of zinc.3 Zinc-deficient infants typically have diarrhea and are irritable, apathetic, and fail to thrive.
Premature infants seem to be at an increased risk for zinc deficiency and may exhibit a negative zinc balance until the third month of life, even under conditions of adequate zinc intake.4 Factors contributing to zinc deficiency in preterm infants include high zinc requirements and insufficient body stores, possibly related to high urinary excretion of zinc, losses from bony resorption, and immature absorption mechanisms.5
Breast-feeding typically protects against zinc deficiency. Breast-fed infants who develop AE frequently do not show symptoms until weaning. One speculation regarding the mechanism of this protective effect is the presence of a zinc-binding ligand, unique to human milk, that increases zinc bioavailability.5 Symptomatic zinc deficiency has been reported in several breast-fed infants, both premature5- 7 and full term,3,8- 10 suggesting that the protective effect of human milk, once assumed, requires redefinition. It has been suggested that low levels of zinc in the breast milk of mothers of affected infants, despite normal maternal serum zinc levels, are responsible for zinc deficiency in infants, a theory that has been demonstrated to be true in many cases.3,5,9 Theories regarding the cause of low levels of zinc in breast milk include defective mammary zinc secretion5 or abnormal zinc uptake from plasma by the mammary gland.11
The clinical manifestations of zinc deficiency are similar regardless of the cause. Erythematous, scaly, thin papules and coalescing plaques are distributed predominantly in acral locations, on the face and extremities, and, most prominently, around the oral, orbital, genital, and anal orfices. The rash may also involve the trunk. The skin lesions are often erosive, especially in the periorifical locations. Occasionally, bullous or pustular lesions are present. Alopecia is a common feature. Diarrhea, paronychia, stomatitis, apathy, irritability, and failure to thrive occur with varying frequency.
Affected infants have low serum zinc levels. In breast-fed infants who do not have inherited AE, levels of zinc in maternal breast milk are low. Levels of serum alkaline phosphatase, a zinc-dependent enzyme, are usually decreased.
Zinc sulfate, 5 to 10 mg/kg per day by mouth, rapidly reverses the cutaneous lesions. Improvement is noted within days and clearance occurs within 2 to 3 weeks. Stool patterns quickly return to normal after treatment. Parents report that their infants have higher energy levels and appetites shortly after therapy is started.
Zinc supplementation in infants who do not have inherited AE is usually unnecessary after weaning.
The cutaneous findings of zinc deficiency must be differentiated from other nutritional disorders such as essential fatty acid, carboxylase, and biotin deficiencies, isoleucine deficiency seen in some aminoacidurias under treatment, and the AE-like rash associated with cystic fibrosis. The rashes of psoriasis and severe seborrheic dermatitis may have some similar features.

BSG's Fascinating qøl
Having entered Larry Kay's BSG room at RMAF 2012 just as he was in throes of packing, after having missed the Bay Area Audiophile Society's demo of his BSG qøl Signal Completion Stage, I was relieved to finally be able to take a brief listen to the device (pictured on the second shelf, below the MacBook Pro). Although my time in the room was briefLarry paused just long enough from a discussion to mug for the cameraI definitely heard a larger and more convincingly realistic qøl soundstage with the unit switched in. You can find John Atkinson's February 2013 review here.

After going undefeated through the regular season (4-0) and sectionals (4-0) as a doubles team, Lakeview's Zach McDivitt and Aaron Paczak only went 2-2 at the Division II district tennis tournament, but that was good enough to earn the duo a No. 4 seed in the state tournament, which will be held Friday and Saturday (9 a.m. both days) at The Ohio State University courts.
Their quest for a state championship begins with a match against Alex Markovits and Matt Cohen of Cincinnati Seven Hills, who won the Southwest district title.
"We definitely have our work cut out for us," McDivitt said. "We ended up getting the fourth seed. We made it to state and that means something. We have one of the toughest districts in northeast Ohio. We have good competition here. There was good practice for us at districts and hopefully that will help us (at state)."

Tribune Chronicle / R. Michael Semple
Lakeview's Aaron Paczak makes a return during a workout Tuesday at YSU's tennis courts.
"We have a pretty decent draw," Paczak added. "If we can get past the first round we should be OK. We're playing the (No.) 1 seed from Cincinnati. I'm really happy with it. I think we can do really well."
Coach Stephanie Hickey said McDivitt and Paczak have reached unprecedented heights
"It's fantastic," she said. "Lakeview has never had a player go to state in the eight years of the program. We have had doubles teams go to districts the last five years. Maybe you could say the fifth time's a charm. It's quite an accomplishment for our program. Our school and community has really supported the tennis program and we really appreciate that."
For McDivitt, a senior, making state was the culmination of four years of hard work. He lost in the first round of districts as a freshman with Alex Dager and fell one match short of state as a sophomore (with his brother Matt) and as a junior (with Paczak).
"Yeah definitely," Zach McDivitt said. "This entire senior year has been going pretty well for me. This is definitely my best tennis season. I think Aaron's having a pretty good season too. Making state is the icing on the cake, too. Hopefully we can make a run at state."
Paczak, a sophomore, agreed that things have been coming together for he and McDivitt.
"It's been going really good," Paczak said. "The regular season wasn't as good being we didn't play as much. The postseason has been really fun. We won the sectional tournament and went to the semifinals of the district tournament."
McDivitt and Paczak won the sectional title with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over John F. Kennedy's Tyler Cole and John Nader.
In the district tournament, the Lakeview team won their first two matches to assure themselves a spot at state. Then lost 6-2, 6-3 to Hawken's Siddarth Ahuja and Daniel Lubarsky (the eventual district champions) in the semifinals, then they were defeated by Danny Huang and Lukas Zalesky of University School, 6-2, 7-6 (6), for third place.
Both McDivitt and Paczak named separate wins against Kennedy as their biggest this season.
"I'd say our win against JFK for the sectional championship," McDivitt said. "That was a big win for us. They were a pretty tough matchup. I think we came together as a team in that match."
"The one to get us to state (against Fairview); that was really big," Paczak said. "We beat them pretty easily. We played JFK in the last regular season match and beat them in three sets. We won that one for our team."
Hickey said Markovits and Cohen will be formidable opponents.
"One of them (Cohen) made it to state last year with another partner," she said. "They were seeded (No.) 3 in sectionals but won their district. I'm pretty happy with the draw.
"We need (McDivitt and Paczak) to be in the right position and believe in themselves."

In Brief: UConn bans 3 more Greek organizations over hazing
UConn bans 3 more Greek organizations over hazing
HARTFORD, Conn. -- The University of Connecticut announced Tuesday that it had banned three more Greek organizations for hazing, saying students were forced to eat pet food, bob for mini-bottles of alcohol from toilets and be partly or fully nude.
The university said it informed fraternity Sigma Chi and sororities Delta Gamma and Delta Zeta they will lose their chapter registrations, recognition and on-campus housing. The decision was not an easy one, "but was appropriate and imperative," the school said.
Earlier this year, UConn banned the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma over hazing allegations.
"UConn takes a zero-tolerance approach to hazing and harmful treatment of students by anyone, under any circumstances," the university said.
Delta Gamma said it's appealing. The sorority said it alerted administrators to the hazing and said it's inconsistent with its values.
Legendary actress Bacall dies at age 89
LOS ANGELES -- Lauren Bacall, the smoky-voiced movie legend who taught Humphrey Bogart how to whistle in "To Have and Have Not," has died at the age of 89, according to her family.
Details of the location and the cause of her death were not immediately available. Her death was confirmed by Robbert de Klerk, the co-managing partner of the Humphrey Bogart Estate. Her daughter, Leslie Bogart, said no other information was available. Bacall launched her career with the 1944 film that turned "Bogie and Bacall" into one of Hollywood's legendary couples on screen and off.
She was born Betty Joan Perske on Sept. 16, 1924, in New York.
Bogart and Bacall were teamed up in three more Warner Bros. movies, "The Big Sleep," "Dark Passage" and "Key Largo."
Lightning starts dozens of new fires in Northwest
GRANTS PASS, Ore. -- Lightning started dozens of new fires in the Northwest on Tuesday, forcing incident commanders to juggle crews and equipment as a new round of storms approaches.
Meanwhile, three firefighters who deployed emergency shelters when a thunderstorm whipped up the flames of a Northern California blaze were released unhurt from a hospital, but weren't yet back on the fire line.
Fire spokesman Corey Wilford said there's no immediate word whether an investigation will be conducted, but they are usual in cases like this.
The Beaver Fire has prompted evacuations of 150 rural homes in a mountainous region of Siskiyou County.
The Northwest Incident Coordination Center in Portland reported more than 5,000 lightning strikes across Oregon and Washington, starting 68 new fires covering 13 square miles.

The Downside Of Natural Family PlanningSierra Black
There's a joke some of my friends like to tell: "What do you call people who practice Natural Family Planning?" "Parents."
The joke being that "natural family planning", the practice of avoiding conception by avoiding intercourse when a woman is fertile, doesn't work. Proponents say it's extremely effective when used correctly, but even if that's the case, it's a method extremely vulnerable to human error.
Yet it's a popular one, especially among conservative Christians who oppose the use of most forms of birth control. NFP isn't just for the God-fearing, though. Plenty of my liberal hippy friends have tried it over the years.
Now, a couple who once wrote a book praising the practice are speaking out against it.
The New York Times ran an interesting profile of this couple over the weekend. A decade ago, Bethany Patchin and Sam Torode were passionate about Christ, family values, and each other. They married young, when Bethany was just 19, and quickly had four children together. They also wrote a book, Open Embrace, condemning most forms of contraception and praising natural family planning.
Now they're divorced, they both attend liberal churches and embrace contraception use, and they see some major problems with NFP. For one thing, it didn't work for them. Bethany got pregnant while breastfeeding twice, resulting in kids less than two years apart. Which, as she says, was hard on her and on their relationship.
Worse, even when she wasn't getting pregnant before she was ready, NFP put unpleasant constraints on their love life. From the NYT piece:
In their 2006 statement on the Web, the couple wrote that natural family planning could harm a marriage, even when it worked.
"Wanting to make love to your spouse often is a good thing, but NFP often lays an unfair burden of guilt on men for feeling this," the Torodes wrote. And it is "a theological attack on women to always require that abstinence during the time of the wife's peak sexual desire (ovulation) for the entire duration of her fertile life, except for the handful of times when she conceives."
If NFP is so problematic and unreliable, why would anyone do it? In particular, why would anyone willing to use other forms of contraception do it?
Basically because all the other options have problems, too. Hormonal birth control in any form can have nasty side effects, including stealing your libido. Condoms and diaphragms are a pain to use on the spot, and also prone to human error. IUDs can cause heavier periods, and have a bad rap from the 70s that makes a lot of women afraid to use them. Most of the women I know who've tried NFP have done so in frustration after coping with side effects or problems with other forms of birth control.
A few got pregnant. No one stuck with it long term. As far as I can tell, the IUD is the contraceptive of choice among my lady friends these days, with a roughly even split between those who prefer the copper type and those who use Mirena.
What birth control do you favor? Would you ever try NFP? Have you?

Miami Dolphins TE Jordan Cameron (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Nov. 5, after he injured his hamstring this week. Cameron's status for Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills is unknown. TE Dion Sims would step in as the primary tight end if Cameron doesn't play this weekend, and TEs Brandon Williams or Jake Stoneburner would fill in as the second tight end.
Fantasy Tip: It would be a surprise to see Cameron ($5,200, 10.4% of cap) miss the game this weekend, but keep an eye on him in case he becomes questionable. If he does play, he's a midrange tight end option on FantasyScore against the Bills.

Technology Talk
Technology Talk: Interoperability for Day-to-Day Operations
By Roman W. Kaluta, Lieutenant (Retired), Alexandria, Virginia,Police Department, and Manager, Public Safety Communications Interoperability, Raytheon JPS Communications Company, Raleigh, North Carolina
or decades, police, fire, EMS, and state emergency management agencies relied on awkward means to achieve onsite coordination at critical events. With funding scarce and budget shortfalls looming, interoperable technology was a luxury item that most public safety agencies could not afford; this meant officers on the scene relied on handwritten messages or swapping radios to communicate with other agencies.
But interoperable communications technology is becoming more affordable, and police agencies are beginning to see the value of interoperable communications for their daily requirements, such as hostage negotiations, inclement weather evacuations, and civil disturbances.
Hostage ScenarioA large metropolitan police department responds, on average, to two hostage situations a week. The police response can be complex and involve several specialized units, making on-scene communications a challenge. In times past, commanding officers would crowd around a speaker located at the command post to monitor the progress of the on-scene negotiations. Radios were then used to relay their interpretation of the negotiation to the responding officers, but those officers lacked the ability to listen firsthand to the perpetrator. That shortcoming prevented tactical officers from determining the stability of the hostage taker because they were unable hear voice tone and inflection. This method of communications was inefficient put officers and civilians at risk.
Today, using a tactical interoperable device, hostage negotiation teams can establish headquarters at the communications command post where an encrypted radio and a hostage phone can be connected to the device. The audio of the negotiations being transmitted and received over the hostage phone is now seamlessly interconnected to the encrypted radio. This capability allows each of the responding tactical units to monitor the negotiations via their personal radios. By providing entry teams with real-time information, interoperable communications reduces the risk of harm to all involved.
Inclement Weather EvacuationsWildfires, tornadoes, floods, and hurricanes can all trigger the activation of emergency evacuation plans. Thousands of residents crowd open highways in search of safety. Miles of civilian vehicles, across multiple jurisdictions, create a stop-and-go traffic jam. Time is critical, and local, state, and federal teams are dispatched to effectively manage the evacuation. Each agency (carrying its own radio, which operates on its designated frequency and band) responds and must work with the others to coordinate public safety efforts along perhaps hundreds of miles of evacuation routes.
Having a communications plan in place before such an emergency can mean the difference between mission success and mission failure. One kind of effective plan uses a wide-area interoperability system (WAIS). WAIS technology allows a number of devices to be connected on an IP (Internet Protocol) network to provide interoperable communications over a wide geographic area. Each device can be monitored and controlled from any point on the network, allowing an incident responder on a handheld radio to achieve point-to-point communications with a responder positioned miles away.
Civil DisturbanceDuring any large gathering, such as a parade, a sporting event, or a concert, there exists the potential for a civil disturbance. On-site security and local public safety may ask for backup from surrounding jurisdictions. Without warning, multiple agencies that would typically not have a need to communicate with one another could arrive on the scene with their department radios. They would need an easily deployable interoperable system.
One answer is an interoperable communications system in a mobile configuration. Situations that occur without any prior coordination could force responders to carry multiple radios, which instantly reduces available resources by half or more. Interoperability makes the most of available resources and response by allowing agencies to use their departmental radios and still be able to communicate with fellow responders. Typical patchwork interoperable devices provide a means to configure a user radio on the scene within minutes, and every minute is critical for first responders.
Interoperability is a problem that plagues every agency, metropolitan or rural, and one that must be addressed today. It is the responsibility of all departments to determine their interoperability requirement with the input of surrounding jurisdictions. The technology is readily available and does not require replacing current investments or infrastructure. Patchwork interoperability solutions currently being deployed in mobile, fixed, and wide-area applications can be configured to meet the needs of public safety departments without the million-dollar price tag. However, interoperability is not achieved through technology alone; procedures, policies, and memoranda of understanding also need to be in place. Ultimately, the success of any interoperable communications solution relies on the fundamental cooperation among agencies and the vision to use solutions to their fullest magnitude.

Former Glendale City Attorney Craig Tindall, now general counsel for the Phoenix Coyotes, used his city e-mail account last year to encourage at least 40 people to obtain a state income-tax credit by contributing toward his son's private high-school tuition.
Tindall, who earned more than $187,000 with the city last year, sent the request to current and former city employees, private attorneys and sports executives, most of whose firms had longstanding financial relationships with the city, according to public records obtained by The Arizona Republic.
Timeline of e-mails between Glendale attorney, Coyotes >>>
An examination of Glendale's policies suggests the e-mails may have violated city conflict-of-interest and information-technology rules. Melanie Sloan, a Washington, D.C., expert on government ethics, said such conduct also can be illegal if something of value was obtained.
Tindall told The Republic that he sent the e-mails as a personal appeal to friends and colleagues and that he had "absolutely zero" intent to exploit his position with the city by eliciting donations for his son's tuition. He also said he was in compliance with the city's policy because he did not use his position to acquire anything of value.
"I didn't. Nope. Did not. I did not use my position. It was personal e-mail. It was a personal e-mail to friends and colleagues. I was not using my position whatsoever," Tindall said.
The e-mail was sent from his city account just after 3 p.m. on a Wednesday, records reviewed by The Republic show.
In an unrelated matter, the State Bar of Arizona last month began an investigation of Tindall based on a complaint alleging he had a conflict of interest while working for both Glendale and the Coyotes last year. The complaint was filed Nov. 26 by former Glendale City Councilman Phil Lieberman, who now lives in Oceanside, Calif.
The Bar could seek a variety of sanctions, including disbarment, if it substantiates Lieberman's complaint.
Tindall said that the basis for the complaint that prompted the Bar investigation is incorrect and that it was politically motivated. He declined to elaborate on motivations, saying he intended to follow protocol by responding to the Bar directly.
Tindall said he understands some people will question his actions.
"To work as hard as I did for the city, and to do that at all times with the utmost integrity through some very difficult situations that we faced — to be subjected to this kind of thing is a bit difficult," he said.
Glendale for years has had substantial financial dealings with the National Hockey League franchise Tindall now works for. The City Council approved a measure on July 2 to pay the team $15 million a year for 15 years to manage Jobing.com Arena, the city-owned hockey venue where the Coyotes play.
Documents requested under the Arizona Public Records Law show that Tindall sent his tax-credit e-mail to former Coyotes owner Steve Ellman and former team President and CEO Mike Nealy, among others. Ellman is no longer with the team. Nealy remains with the team as an adviser to its new executive chairman and its new CEO.
Ellman could not be reached for comment.
Coyotes executives are aware of the e-mails and the Bar complaint involving Tindall but declined to comment further, team spokesman Rich Nairn said in an e-mail.
Sloan, who runs Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, called Tindall's e-mails "completely unacceptable."
"It's wrong to be soliciting donations when you are doling out city contracts and you are asking for money from those who have business before you," Sloan said.
E-mail request
Tindall worked for Glendale for 12 years, the last eight as the city's top legal adviser.
On Jan. 23, 2013, Tindall sent an e-mail to contacts seeking donations to pay for his son's education at Valley Lutheran High School, where tuition is as much as $8,925 a year. Tindall encouraged recipients to take advantage of a state tax-credit program while helping his son.
In the e-mail titled "Educational Funding in Arizona," he explained that two programs allow taxpayers to direct up to $2,006 of their state income-tax payments to be spent on public-school or private-school education. He noted that contributions to private schools can be made through non-profits called school-tuition organizations.
"You can make contributions for any student except your own children or dependents. Consider nieces and nephews, friends, and neighbors. If you do not have a student who qualifies for the tax credit in mind, please let me know," Tindall wrote.
Tindall mentioned his son's name twice, telling contacts that they could support his son by writing the boy's name on the "student recommendation" line of the tax-credit forms. He directed potential donors to send the money to Arizona Christian Schools Tuition Organization, which would then send a scholarship payment to the boy's school.
Before closing the two-page e-mail, Tindall added a caveat: "Please don't consider this message a solicitation; I offer an alternative only if you have no one else that could take advantage of this important opportunity."
The purpose of the e-mail was to remind his contacts that the tax-credit program was available to them, Tindall said in an interview. He said he had no intent to imply that tax credits were associated with any past or future city business. He said that he did not believe recipients took it that way and that he didn't care if his contacts followed through. He never bothered to check, he said.
"They were friends and colleagues. The fact that they may or may not have done business with the city has no bearing whatsoever on it. None whatsoever," he said.
Because he doesn't handle his family's household bills, he was unaware if his portion of his son's tuition at Valley Lutheran dipped as a result of the e-mail appeal, he said. Efforts to reach his wife were unsuccessful.
Steve Yarbrough, a state senator and executive director of the Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization, said privacy concerns prevented him from disclosing whether anyone contributed scholarship money in the name of Tindall's son.
The organization does not guarantee students scholarships, despite recommendations from donors, Yarbrough said. Instead, scholarships are awarded by committees who consider families' financial situations.
School-tuition organizations are private and are not subject to Public Records Laws.
Although Tindall sought donations from those he knew, the state general fund ultimately picks up the tab for such contributions. Taxpayers who use the program are eligible to deduct 100 percent of those contributions from their personal state income-tax liability.
Since the Arizona Legislature created the tax-credit program in 1997, it has diverted a collective $682.2 million from the state's general fund in the form of taxpayer write-offs, according to Department of Revenue records.
Recipients talk
Several people who were sent Tindall's e-mail told The Republic that they didn't remember reading it or that they ignored it. They vouched for Tindall's integrity and said they felt no coercion to direct money to his son's tuition.
However, at least three people were receptive to the idea, according to city records.
Two were John MacDonald and his wife, Dana Paschke, lobbyists for Glendale who received $151,783 from the city from fiscal 2011 to 2013. They no longer represent the city.
"I'd be delighted to contribute in your son's name. Since my kids are both in college, I can now use my 'credit' for whomever I choose," MacDonald, of the lobbying firm Policy AZ, responded in an e-mail to Tindall.
MacDonald, in an interview with The Republic, said he was never pressured or compelled to give to Tindall's son. He said he did not remember how much the couple gave, but he added that he also recently made a tax-credit donation to again help Tindall's son, even though his firm no longer represents the city.
Former U.S. Attorney for Arizona Jose de Jesus Rivera of the law firm Haralson, Miller, Pitt, Feldman & McAnally also corresponded with Tindall about the matter.
Rivera told Tindall that if he would have asked a month earlier, he would have used the tax-credit program for Tindall's son.
"No problem. You can still donate though until April 15th. But then, you Democrats love to pay taxes, so your (sic) good to go, right?" Tindall responded.
Rivera told The Republic he used the tax-credit program but did not select Tindall's son as the beneficiary.
In the e-mail exchange with Tindall, Rivera also inquired about a pending business matter with the city. "Has the pdf gone out?" he asked.
Rivera told The Republic that "pdf" was a typo, and that he meant "rfp," a reference to the city's request for proposals for firms to conduct an audit of a mismanaged early-retirement program.
The council eventually selected Rivera's firm for the audit, which took months to conduct. The firm billed the city $513,407 for the work, city spokeswoman Julie Watters said.
Rivera directed the audit.
The audit identified several top Glendale employees who may have acted illegally when they shifted money among several city accounts in an attempt to cover the true costs of the early-retirement program.
Four top employees were fired or forced to resign, and the state Attorney General's Office is investigating possible criminal wrongdoing.
Rivera said he thought there was nothing improper about discussing school tax credits and the request for proposals in the same e-mail, because he didn't realize Tindall suggested making donations for his son.
"I thought it was the general type of donations that you give to schools for school credit. To be honest, I didn't pick up that it was for his kid's tuition," Rivera said.
After being awarded the contract, Rivera said he specifically recused himself from any matters involving Tindall during the audit process because of his personal friendship with him.
"I'm kind of glad I did that now that you're calling me," Rivera told a reporter.
"I know Craig and I like Craig, but I wanted to make sure that my feelings about Craig, that he's a good guy, weren't colored by me doing that part of the investigation," he said.
Tindall said he likewise felt comfortable discussing both the school tax-credit program and the request for proposals in the same e-mail, because he had no input in selecting the firm that was awarded the job.
Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers said he was unaware of Tindall's e-mails regarding the school tax-credit program until The Republic requested copies of the e-mails earlier this month.
"It doesn't sound kosher by any means. I don't know what, at this point, that we can do," Weiers said.
"If in fact he was doing that on the city of Glendale's computer, obviously that's wrong. Ethically, I think it's wrong if you're going after people that come to you for particular business and you're in the position to make decisions. It certainly doesn't sound right."
Conflict of interest?
Glendale has a strict conflict-of-interest policy stating: "No employee may use, or attempt to use, the employee's position with the City to secure from any person any valuable thing or valuable benefit for the employee to which the employee would not ordinarily be entitled for the performance of the employee's duties with the City."
The policy also cites a state conflict-of-interest law that says a public employee shall not use or attempt to use that position to "secure any valuable thing or valuable benefit" that would not ordinarily be received. Knowingly violating the state law is a felony. It is a misdemeanor if the violation was reckless or negligent.
Dale Kalika, who specializes in ethics and is a senior lecturer on management at Arizona State University, said if Tindall violated a city policy in seeking donations, then what he did was unethical.
Kalika said Tindall should have used his own private e-mail on non-work time to seek donations. But, even then, those who received the solicitation would realize that he was in a powerful position as city attorney and is responsible for negotiating key contracts, she said.
Tindall said that he didn't use his position and that "there was zero intent to do that."
Role in negotiations
As city attorney, Tindall played a key role in negotiations for the city for years as the NHL tried to sell the Coyotes to several potential buyers starting in 2009.
Tindall fell out of favor with a majority of the seven City Council members and was forced to resign early last year before completion of the Coyotes arena deal with the city and sale by the NHL.
He resigned as city attorney April 1, but council members opted to pay his full salary for an additional six months with the requirement that he remain available for five hours every pay period to respond to questions about matters he previously handled.
The financial arrangement was intended to benefit the city, Tindall said.
"They were paying out my severance over time, which prevented them from having to pay the severance all at once, so sometimes, being nice and good intentions get you nowhere, apparently," he said in reference to the Bar complaint.
Tindall worked briefly for the Phoenix law firm Fennemore Craig, then accepted a position as Coyotes general counsel on Aug. 20. He officially came off the city's payroll six weeks later on Oct. 1.
Council members were advised earlier this month about the Bar investigation, said Weiers, who was reached while visiting Calgary to promote the Coyotes to Canadian hockey fans.
Based on a provision in Tindall's severance agreement with the city, however, potential conflict of interest may be impossible to prove, the mayor said.
The provision states: "The City, with informed consent from its attorneys, hereby waives any conflict of Employee or a law firm with which Employee may become affiliated regarding transactional matters previously handled by Employee for the City."
Tindall's employment with the Coyotes appears legal, Weiers said.
"Was it morally right? Was it ethically right? Was it something that the Bar would say is OK? I don't know and we'll find out," Weiers said. "But as far as legal? Yeah, I guess it was legal, because his contract basically gave him the opportunity to do what he was doing."
Glendale City Manager Brenda Fischer declined tocomment on the matters.
Investigation starts
The Bar launched its investigation in December in response to former Councilman Lieberman's request for an ethics inquiry the month before.
Lieberman, in his complaint letter, alleged that Tindall violated several Bar ethics rules because of a conflict of interest that he created in his new role for the Coyotes.
Lieberman alleged that Tindall, while retained as "special counsel" for the city, helped the Coyotes negotiate an arena deal with the city. The council approved the $225 million deal with the Coyotes on July 2. Tindall joined the Coyotes on Aug. 20.
"I believe Mr. Tindall's dual-employment with the City of Glendale and the Phoenix Coyotes and Mr. Tindall's on-going representation of the Coyotes with the City created a conflict of interest and also may be violating Mr. Tindall's duty of confidentiality to the City," Lieberman wrote.
Lieberman also alleged that Tindall used information he obtained while working for Glendale to put the city at a disadvantage while negotiating for the Coyotes.
Tindall dismissed those concerns, saying he stopped performing legal work for Glendale in late February, three months before NHL executives announced Canadian businessmen George Gosbee and Anthony LeBlanc as the preferred buyers for the hockey franchise. Negotiations to manage Jobing.com Arena started even later.
"The city provided a waiver for any conflicts, but there is no conflict to even waive, so if you get to that point, which you wouldn't, the waiver would be in effect. But like I said, there's no conflict," Tindall said.
Rick DeBruhl, spokesman for the Bar, confirmed an investigation is ongoing. He declined to comment further.
The Bar regulates the behavior of lawyers and investigates complaints. It can recommend sanctions, including admonition, suspension and disbarment, but only the Arizona Supreme Court can impose them.

BeBe (Motown)
With the recent crossover successes of such contemporary gospel acts as Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary and Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ, BeBe Winans (now called simply BeBe) must be feeling mighty proud. As a member of the first family of gospel, he, along with sister CeCe Winans, accomplished the small miracle of getting sacred music played on R&B radio. But on this, his second solo album, BeBe has turned from the spiritual to the secular with less than uplifting results.
Like many of today's big R&B releases, Love & Freedom rolls out the guest stars on several tracks, including Brian McKnight and Joe on "Coming Back Home" and Stephanie Mills on "Everyday." But only Stevie Wonder inspires BeBe to greater heights, on a rousing version of Wonder's "Jesus Children of America" (from his brilliant 1973 opus Innervisions). Not surprisingly, BeBe delivers his most righteous solo vocal on a cover of gospel singer Donnie McClurkin's "Stand," which takes him right back to the choir pew, where BeBe shines brightest.
Bottom Line: His spirit isn't in it

STF was the first time I had been around this many people who were as passionate as I was about urban education reform. It was stimulating, invigorating, and reassuring to know that there were other people in the world who cared so much about student success. After every conversation or workshop with my cohort members, I felt inspired and motivated to strive for the best and keep doing the work that I am doing."
-STF Alumnus
During my Fellowship, I was challenged by the people in my cohort and by the thoughtful and strategically planned experiences that make up this powerful program. Everything from professional development sessions, to student interactions, to mentor teacher guidance, to cohort meetings added a new layer of knowledge, joy, and consciousness. That summer shaped so much of my thinking. Five years later, the STF experience is one that I will cherish as I continue to grow in this profession."
-STF Alumnus
My fellow superseded my expectations! Beyond looking for ways to improve and becoming a better teacher, I expected for the fellow to be passionate and open-minded, and she was all of these things and more."

The Summer Teaching Fellowship (STF) is designed to introduce college juniors to teaching and urban education reform through experience in Uncommon's classrooms and tailored professional development opportunities. Fellows develop the skills necessary for leading high-achieving urban classrooms through the mentorship, collaboration, and hands-on experience Uncommon Schools provides.
Uncommon Schools recognizes the importance of building a talented staff of teachers who reflect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our scholars. While excellent teachers of all identities and backgrounds serve our scholars, teachers and leaders of color enable students to see themselves within the strong educators who lead their classrooms each and every day. STF is part of Uncommon's commitment to attracting, hiring, and retaining teachers from underrepresented backgrounds in order to enrich our scholars' learning experiences. To learn more about our commitment to diversity, please click here.
STF is currently offered in Boston (MA), Newark (NJ), Brooklyn (NY), Rochester (NY), and Troy (NY). Fellows come from college campuses across the United States to observe, learn from, and co-teach with Mentor Teachers who are currently full-time, high-performing teachers within our Uncommon schools. The format and experience of the fellowship varies by region and the grade level in which a Fellow has been placed. Candidates can indicate their choice of region and grade level on the application and will be notified of specific STF placement sites in the spring. Please note that positions in your preferred location may not always be available.
Most Fellows will support their Mentor Teacher by tutoring, grading, and leading individual or small group student instruction during the end of the regular school year. When the regular school year ends and Summer Academy commences, Fellows progress to leading instruction for a full class of students, allowing for direct teaching experience still with the support and guidance of a Mentor. Fellows receive regular feedback and coaching from STF Staff, their Summer Academy Director, and other school leaders. Depending on the grade level, Fellows may also lesson plan and build curriculum for their class with the support of their Mentor Teacher and Summer Academy Director.
In addition to teaching experience, Fellows will assist with a variety of work inside and outside of the classroom, including organizing student events, conferencing with families, developing mentoring relationships with students, and assisting with the set-up of classrooms for summer school.
Fellows will also participate in summer professional development, as well as regular meetings with their Mentor and/or Summer Academy Director. Fellows will have many opportunities to gain the experience and support necessary to develop their teaching skills. By the end of the summer, Summer Teaching Fellows will be strong candidates for full-time teaching positions to begin after completion of their senior year.
Our 7-week program runs from May 28th to July 17th in all 5 of our regions. During the program, Fellows receive:
Provided dormitory-style housing (or an additional $800 stipend for Fellows who opt out of housing and find their own accommodation for summer)
The first few weeks of the program may look different than the ones to follow. During that time, Fellows will have an STF program orientation where they will receive professional development and the opportunity to build cohort culture. Following that, Fellows will be in classrooms during the last few weeks of the school year where they develop skills and knowledge to aid in their success during Summer Academy. Examples of tasks and activities that a Fellow may engage in are:
After the first few weeks, Summer Academy will commence at which point Fellows will report to their Summer Academy site on a daily basis. Please see below for examples of tasks and actives Fellows may engage in during this time:
More than a summer teaching opportunity, STF prepares Fellows for full-time teaching positions with Uncommon after graduation: over 90 STF alumni currently teach full time with Uncommon Schools. Program alumni have gone on to become lead teachers, STF Mentors, and Summer Academy Directors within Uncommon. Alumni have also established strong bonds with one another and continued to build relationships and community long after the program ends. Alumni describe STF as challenging, rewarding, and ultimately life-changing. Mentor Teachers and Summer Academy Directors cite working with Fellows as one of their most rewarding professional experiences.
The STF experience extends beyond your summer fellowship. Uncommon Schools provides continued support and mentorship to program alumni through graduate school and competitive program application support; opportunities to receive coaching from current teachers and leaders; and alumni social events. Uncommon also offers a Campus Ambassadors program, where STF alumni receive stipends to share the impact of Uncommon Schools and STF on their campuses.

Wednesday, July 3, 2013
By Patricia Tanner Candal
I haven't wanted pets since childhood, when every cat or dog was run over by the school bus or died when the car engine started. I remember a lot of pet deaths, some occurring when the car filled with nine people backed out of the driveway on the way to church. For most of my adult life, I've been happy to say I don't have pets, don't like pets, especially animals in the house. This declaration doesn't count Steve's bulls-eye tabby named Cookie that lived in our house for seventeen years. After her death we agreed: No more house pets.
Having a dog as a pet in the house was settled thirty years ago, when a friend's big black lab eagerly greeted me at her front door with both front paws applied to my thighs. I kept six finger-length bruises to remind me I didn't want a dog in the house, or anywhere. And then I met Shandy.
Fifteen years ago I was teaching at Rosemary Middle School in Andrews. One day at lunch, the art teacher was describing a sweet, little black puppy with a lot of personality that she had taken inside the art room after some students were seen kicking the dog on the sidewalk outside the gym. The puppy had spent the day in the art supply room, and a few other teachers had gone by to see it, verifying its cute puppiness. The art teacher was interested in someone taking the dog, if possible; otherwise she would drop it off at the SPCA. Three other mangy pups from the same litter had been seen wandering around the street in front of the school; one had been killed and the other two taken to the pound. I said I'd come by the art room during my planning hour.
When I walked into the art supply room, this sweet, little energetic puppy danced around my feet and then stopped to look me over. I had never known dogs to smile, but this puppy smiled, tilting her head as those dark eyes drew me in. I said, I'll take her home with me to Mingo Woods.
After purchasing a few puppy needs, including food, I started the sixteen miles home after school with her on the floor of the passenger side. It seemed natural to start talking to her. That smile and those eyes kept my attention. About halfway home she crawled up the seat, over to my lap, and spent the rest of the trip home looking out the window on the driver's side, occasionally turning that winning smile and those warm dark eyes to look at me.
Six trips to the vet and $600 later, we had the mites under control and a kennel in the backyard. I learned to dip her in some rather potent stuff and fill her ears with bug medication. I even learned to brush her teeth with chicken flavored toothpaste. Shandy spent weeks dragging her belly on the ground to scratch the itchy critters that had crawled under her skin. In a few months she was clean, healed and ready to run. The vet confirmed she was probably black Lab, with a little Irish setter to account for the reddish hairs on her belly. As an old dog, she sported a patch of white hairs on her chin, giving her a distinguished look.
In the beginning, our thought was to let her roam the forest when she grew up. Water dog that she was, she chose to stay in the swamp, especially right after a bath. From the beginning, she was a sweet dog, gentle and obedient. She learned early to sit, stay, and heel. She even responded to the word No. As she matured and began to pick up the rabbit and the deer scents around the swamp, she became increasingly more difficult to control. On a few occasions, even when I used one of those mechanical devices that reinforces commands, Shandy picked up the deer scent and, in a mad dash, followed it through the woods and out to busy Highway 41. After one wild attempt to get her home, she became a kennel canine for the rest of her life, leaving the kennel only on a leash to walk the circle in the community where we live.
When she grew to nearly sixty pounds, I could no longer control the leash without dislocating my rotator cuff. Steve became her walker. She loved to take walks and, until a year ago, would Kennel Up afterwards upon command, knowing fresh food and water would be there.
Shandy loved water, drinking and playing in it. On a very hot and humid day, I was photographing a viceroy butterfly chrysalis that had attached itself to one of the wires in a top corner of Shandy's kennel. I was talking with her as I worked there and I noticed that she walked to her water bucket, which was half full of water, and looked up at me. Then she stared at the water. She did this several times before I realized that she wanted fresh, cool water to drink.
I replaced her bucket with fresh water; and, to my surprise, she put both front feet in it and then tried to get her head in it. She was funny, doing this several times, and looking at me as if to say, Can't you see this bucket is too small for me?
We decided a long, cool bath was in order and we brought out her big, blue tub and filled it up. For the next hour she sat in the cool water, had a nice soapy bath followed by a towel rub and took a long, drying off walk with Steve around the yard. Such a dog's life!
Though she spent her life at Mingo Woods in a kennel for the most part, Shandy is the only pup from her litter to live past a few months. She lived fifteen years with us, enjoying our company and walks around the yard and neighborhood. She loved to be set free in my garden to roam, and except for a few daylilies she unearthed, the garden suffered little from her frolicking. For two years we knew Shandy's health was declining. On her last annual visit with her vet, Dr. Ernest Fox, we discussed the changes we and he observed, and he reminded us of her age.
Earlier this month, after a few weeks of suffering, Shandy died during the night. She is buried at the edge of Mingo Swamp under one of our favorite beech trees. I still expect to hear her bark whenever someone other than family and friends drive to the house. I miss her smiling eyes and the gentle kiss on my hand every time I fed her or cleaned the kennel. Shandy was a good dog.
Patricia Tanner Candal lives on the edge of Mingo Creek swamp with her husband Steve, one bee colony, parakeet Norton, twenty chickens and a bunch of flowers, herbs and other plants.

Basketball star has courted controversy ahead of tomorrow's final with Spain
There may not have been a busier athlete over the last 16 days of the London Olympics, there may not have been one operating under greater scrutiny – from the American media, certainly – and there may not have been an elite athlete who has performed quite so inconsistently.
But when the Olympic basketball gold medal is decided on Sunday between the United States and Spain, Kobe Bryant will end a tumultuous few weeks by, surely, winning his second Olympic title.
Bryant, 33, has been one of the most high-profile super fans in London, a Zelig-like performance that seems to have led

ENGLEWOOD – Nearly 90 Englewood secretaries and teachers aides who were outsourced last year have $126K to split amongst themselves following an August arbitration ruling, according to The Record. Why the district to date has withheld that severance pay from the former employees remains unclear.
The New Jersey Education Association won a grievance filed on the employees' behalf, which alleged that the former workers were not paid a contractually-obligated 30 days pay following the August of 2012 pink-slips, the report stated. The decision to outsource to private firms, which school officials said was needed to cut a $4 million deficit, led to large-scale protests by the NAACP at the time.
Englewood school officials quoted by The Record could not provide a clear-cut explanation as to why outsourced workers haven't received severance checks as required by the August 2013 arbitration ruling. The superintendent said bureaucratic process moves slowly in education, and a school board member conceded the delay was a mystery.
"It's pretty horrendous," Norman Danzig, an NJEA rep told The Record. "People are really hurting."

The "Second Dividend" and the Demographic Structure
The demographic structure of a country influences economic activity. The "second dividend" modifies growth. Accordingly, in general equilibrium, the second dividend and the demographic structure are interrelated. This paper aims at assessing empirically the "second dividend" in a dynamic, empirical and intertemporal setting that allows for measuring its impact on growth, its intergenerational redistributive effects, and its interaction with the demographic structure. The article uses a general equilibrium model with overlapping generations, an energy module and a public finance module. Policy scenarios compare the consequences of recycling a carbon tax through lower proportional income tax rather than higher public lumpsum expenditures. They are computed for two countries with different demographics (France and Germany). Results suggest that the magnitude of the "second dividend" is significantly related with the demographic structure. The more concentrated the demographic structure on cohorts with higher income and saving rate, the stronger the effect on capital supply of the second dividend. The second dividend weighs on the welfare of relatively aged working cohorts. It fosters the wellbeing of young working cohorts and of future generations. The more concentrated the demographic structure on aged working cohorts, the higher the intergenerational redistributive effects of the second dividend.

Timely restoration of coronary artery blood flow using thrombolytic therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery salvages threatened myocardium and decreases cardiac morbidity and mortality. Reperfusion of ischemic tissues can, however, be associated with life-threatening reperfusion injury that can cause arrhythmias, myocardial stunning, microvascular dysfunction, and cell death.1 Accordingly, therapies that modulate reperfusion injury would be expected to enhance the effectiveness of thrombolysis and primary percutaneous coronary intervention for preserving myocardium and reducing mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
