I've been writing, and rewriting, a memoir about how we moved from Charleston to Portland, Oregon (and back again). My experience was different... I'm fascinated with Oregon... there's a part of it that feels so familiar to me... but when I lived there, "home" felt so far away. But your oceanside town, your home (and the story of being dragged their against your will... ha) is so beautiful to me.

For his upcoming show at Kimball's Pub, 972 Second St., 8 p.m. Sunday, Al Jackson said the audience is in store for an "anything goes" show.
"We're gonna talk like adults. Nothing is off limits," the triple-threat Jackson said. Spreading his talent across many aspects of the comedy world, he's not only a comedian, but also a writer and a producer. Jackson currently is producing the show, "Upload with Shaquille O'Neal" on truTV and has been featured on a variety of different shows, including "Last Comic Standing" and his own 30-minute special on Comedy Central.
"That was kind of my big break," he said of the special, which was released nationwide.
Article Photos
Comedian Al Jackson, pictured, will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday at Kimball's Pub, 972 Second St. Opening comedian Adam Degi performs at 7 p.m.
For Jackson, comedy wasn't always in the cards for a career choice.
"I originally started using comedy as an outlet for every day life. I never thought about it doing it for a profession," Jackson said.
He had been a seventh grade teacher for four years, keeping stand up comedy as a hobby. Once the hobby turned into something that Jackson knew he was good at, he decided to take the plunge, quit teaching and pursue comedy full time.
"I started getting fed, if nothing else. After a while, I was like, 'Yeah, this might be a viable way to make a living. And it's something I'm pretty good at,' " Jackson said.
"It got to the point where I was travelling a lot and I didn't want to shortchange my students," he said. "So I made the decision, I wanted to jump off that 'cliff.' "
Jackson also mentioned his appearance on MTV's "MADE" as a coach, which he felt was another good avenue for breaking on to the comedy scene. "I got a chance to show a different side of me," Jackson said. "MADE"?features participants who work with a coach to achieve goals that people might not expect from them. In the episode, Jackson coaches an aspiring stand up comic.
Everyday life is a huge factor for inspiration, one that Jackson said gives him a constant stream of comedy.
"I definitely take inspiration from every day. Being a father, husband and stand up comic; it gives me a wealth of things."
His subject matter stretches from his hilarious encounter with lactose intolerance, to his "Dad Laws," where he gives his son advice for the future.
While his subject matter has no limits, Jackson isn't worried about his kids hearing the adult humor he covers.
"That ship has passed. When they hear it, they will hear it as adults. I think once we stop lying to ourselves about experiences we have, we will appreciate them more."
Fans can keep up with Jackson, an avid social media user, on Twitter, @AlJackson, to stay updated on his antics and upcoming performances.
Kimball's will open the doors at 7 p.m., and comedian Adam Degi will open the show.
For more information, call Kimball's at 570-322-1115.

Lesson Focus
English Language Arts/ The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne Frank
Lesson Objectives
Students will have an interdisciplinary experience exploring a variety of aspects presented in The Diary of Anne Frank.
Structure and Strategies for Teaching
Introduction/ Presentation World War II and Adolf Hitler, the Holocaust and the torture and murder of so many of the Jewish faith, the emotions, the life of a teenager and her family all provide a setting for The Diary of Anne Frank. Explain to the class that you will experiment with them, this can also be related Concentration Camps and the "medical" experiments that were conducted on Jews, adults and children and multiples- twins and triplets. Have the students brainstorm and provide a word list (the teacher can write this out on the board or overhead) describing the situations, the events, and the emotions of the diary. These words can be specifically nouns and adjectives, for example, family, friends, fear, love maturity, hope, responsibility, greed, courage, danger, crowded, goodness, evil, silence, safety, lack of freedom. Reflect back to this list throughout class to "connect" what the students are experiencing.
Exploration Have the students find good personal space and lie down on their backs, knees bent, feet on the floor, eyes closed (constructive rest). Quietly direct them to imagine themselves in Anne Frank's place, surrounded by family and strangers, pulled abruptly from your friends and your life, loosing everything. Have the students imagine being confined with their family for 25 months, over two years without being able to get away from them, never leaving the annex. Have the students listen for the silence, the safe sounds, the unsafe sounds. Talk them through what life would have been like- the urgency for silence. What if someone sneezed or coughed? Every sound could mean your discovery, the end of your life, the end of the lives of your family. The need for silence was - (during this time, find a heavy book and position it over a surface that when the book is slammed a very loud sound will be produced). Drop the book! Ask the students what happened. Was it the Gestapo, the green police, the bookcase being destroyed, and the hiding place being discovered?
Discuss again the idea of closeness, the inability to get away from each other. Have the students form a standing group, a blob. Have the class, as this group, move as one, from one corner of the room to another, staying close, always touching in total silence. Experience the closeness. Share the experiences with one another. Anyone claustrophobic?
Dependent upon the numbers, use the entire class or divide the class into groups. Have one person sit in the middle of the group. Have the rest of the group hover over the "sitter" never touching, but obstructing light and space by positioning their bodies and their hands around the "sitter". Have the "sitter" remember the feelings. Change "sitters" to allow the entire class the opportunity to experience this feeling. Share the experiences, the feelings- was it comfortable? Smothering?
Reflect back to the word list. What has the class experienced today?
At the end of Act 1, the families celebrate Hanukkah and Anne expresses her ideal of hope. Introduce the idea of celebration in the Jewish community and teach an Authentic Hora folk dance (Weikart, Hora Medura). Explain that the families could possibly have danced this very quietly at night but then again it may have been too dangerous. Have the students execute the Hora. Experience the joy of the dance, the hope for a future.
Culmination/ Final Forming
Return to the word list. Identify what words the class had experienced. Ask the students to explain why this was a class on The Diary of Anne Frank, or why this was not. What did the students learn from these experiences?
Ideas for Extending the Lesson
Additional Jewish dances could be introduced, providing cultural background. Students could write about their personal experiences pertaining to this lesson, in narrative or "diary" form. Students could create visual art pertaining to this lesson.

Lesson Focus
English Language Arts/ Parts of Speech
Lesson Objective
Students will explore the relationship between Language Arts and Dance.
Focus and Review
The students will discuss the use of the elements of dance and of composition (beginning, middle and end).
Statement of Objectives
Students will share ideas on how language arts can be used in dance - poetry, imagery, sentence structure, compound sentences, run on sentences, and parts of speech. Define noun, verb, adverb and preposition.
Students will use parts of speech (verbs, adverbs, and preposition) as a basis for developing a composition.
Teacher Input
Teacher will explain a noun as a person, place or thing (today the thing will be your body or a part of your body). A verb is an action (discuss examples, especially that dance is an action, therefore an action verb). An adverb is a word that describes the verb, and a preposition as a connecting/location word. In dance terms, a noun says what or who moves, a verb says what you are doing, an adverb says how you are doing it and a preposition says where you are doing it.
Warm-up: Teacher will lead a warm- up using isolation of the body parts (nouns), "be" words (identify parts of speech), a verb warm-up (twist, stretch, shake, freeze, melt, etc.), a verb/adverb warm-up (twist slowly, stretch widely, shake softly, freeze abruptly), and/or a verb/adverb/preposition warm-up (twist slowly around your spine, stretch strongly towards a neighbor, etc.). Note each part of speech to the students.
Guided Practice
Teacher will distribute verb card, adverb card and preposition card to each student. Each dancer will have three cards. Students form groups, I usually start with trios. Students must perform only their three cards.
Independent Practice
The group chooses how to organize their composition- setting a beginning, the middle whether it is simultaneously performed or individually performed, and an ending. The students decide how their actions relate to each other and the group as a whole.
Students practice. Students perform for the class. Constructively critique each performance- were the parts of speech identifiable and clearly performed, what were some of the choices that the group made?
Realize that each dancer in each dance probably executes hundreds of verbs, adverbs and prepositions. Language Arts is not just something that is done in the classroom at a desk, with paper and pencil - it can be danced.
Submitted by Jan Adams, Winston-Salem/Forsyth Schools
Movement and dance are forms of communication which come naturally to children. As such, they are powerful tools which teachers can use to teach and reinforce reading and writing.
I. Using Movement to Build Background Information
Quite often, the point at which children falter the most in their reading is when they begin to read in the content areas of science, social studies and math. They no longer can rely on predictable words or story structure to help them figure out what they are reading. They are faced with new vocabulary and concepts with which they are unfamiliar. Movement can help in a variety of ways:
*Introducing New Vocabulary
Before reading a science passage of new words, see if you can come up with ideas on ways children can build the word or concept with their bodies (i.e. igneous rock is a very hard statue that can not be moved when I try to move it, metamorphic roch changes and compresses very slowly and sedimentary rock is layered). Have children say the word, create the shape or movement with their bodies, and write the word on the board. Then have children read the passage. The new words are now already familiar (and will be remembered longer).
|Dance: understanding dance as a way of exploring other content areas.
|ELA: applying preparation strategies to comprehend or convey experiences and information.
*Enriching Vocabulary
Children can be caught up in any teacher's enthusiasm over words. Have students define with their own bodies or in groups enriching words, for example:
Vibrate Simmer Puncture Shrivel Seethe Shatter
Swirl Bubble Congeal Ooze Flicker Melt
Evaporate Decay Shrink Density Disintegrate Momentum
From their definitions, you could have a group create dance compositions of opposites, such as aggregate-dissipate, accelerate-decelerate, expand=contract.
*Building Models of Understanding
Create and have the students help create physical models to demonstrate difficult concepts such as volume, mass, parallel and series electrical circuits, photosynthesis, etc.
|Dance: developing the ability to use dance as a language.
|ELA: applying, extending, and expanding on information and concepts.
II. Motivation
Dance and movement can be an energizing and galvanizing force in the classroom as a motivation to another activity.
*Motivating Research
Movement games such as "Habitat Hideaways" can be used to motivate research on defense mechanisms. Or explore through movement a covered wagon; the building of the intercontinental railroad; or tap out rhythms of a telegraph before beginning a research project on westward expansion.
|Dance: understanding that making a dance requires planning.
|ELA: identifying, collecting or selecting information and ideas.
*Motivating Writing
Prewriting experiences such as "Bird's Eye View" will help children to expand their powers of visualization. By dividing roles within the class or group, the group can collectively generate a rich list of experiences from which to draw for descriptive writing.
|Dance: understanding that the choreographic process includes improvisation and brainstorming.
|ELA: responding critically and creatively to selections or personal experiences; using concrete images and vivid descriptions in writing poetry and prose.
III. Reinforcing the Writing Process with Choreography
Each step of the writing process correlates to a step choreographers use when making up dances:
|Brainstorming Ideas
Trying out words or phrases
Sequencing into first draft
Final Draft/Publication
|Brainstorming Ideas
Trying out movements
Sequencing into beginning, middle, end
Revising, rehearsing
Clean-up rehearsal
|Dance: understanding the choreographic process.
|ELA: analyzing, synthesizing and organizing information and discovering related ideas, concepts, or generalizations.
IV. Response to Literary or Poetic Work
Movement and dance is a powerful way to extend understanding of literary work.
|Dance: understanding that dance can express ideas.
|ELA: responding creatively to selections.

Pac-Man CEDX Review
Namco Bandai has once again intelligently built upon - and suitably drop-kicked into 2010 - one of the most famous arcade games of all time.
Wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka. WAKKA. Okay, I've got it out of my system: Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, then. For a start, no it's not just Pac-Man. The hungry little three-quarters of a pie-chart is up to his same old tricks - wolfing down stuff like fruit, keys and enemy ghosts - but in some very fancy new clothes. Just two years after the first Championship Edition, Namco Bandai has once again intelligently built upon - and suitably drop-kicked into 2010 - one of the most famous arcade games of all time.
From the outset, Championship Edition DX is a beefier package than 2007's effort. The number of selectable stages has been increased from two to eight, and a whole bevy of visual styles - hearkening back to Pac-Man's various looks over the years - are included for an extra whack of aesthetic sparkle.
But the most discernable difference is that Pac-Man isn't always immediately chased by Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde. Instead, the sallow pill-popper catches most of the ghostly quartet's extended family napping, waking them up when he drifts past. Masses of ghosts now line up behind Pac-Man like a Post Office queue during lunch hour. The trick, of course, is that biting down on a power pellet and flip-reversing the situation gives Pac-Man ample opportunity to guzzle up dozens of foes in quick succession; as with the original Championship Edition, chaining together enemy consumption in one 'powered-up' phase boosts the score to a max of 3200 per nibble.
Furthering some of the concepts conceived in Championship Edition, the general idea (in Score Attack mode, at least) is to stay powerful for as long as possible - though power pellets are now mostly stored inside enemy ghosts, and are therefore only obtainable when you're already juiced up. Served up in five and ten minute varieties, gameplay flip-flops between two sides of the maze, and eating a piece of fruit on one half replenishes another field of pellets (and ghosts) on the other. The goal, then, is to juggle the back-and-forth between both chunks of the map while simultaneously trying to pop the nearest ghost for more power before you run out of steam.
Another challenge comes from the juddering increases in pace, with the action speeding up depending on how well you're doing at any given time. The game does an excellent job of placing each new power-up just out of reach, often forcing you to rethink strategies and cautiously hover your thumb over the reset button, considering another foolish attempt at a perfect run.
Other modes include a standard bevy of Time Trials, where fruit-to-fruit manoeuvring is more important than chowing down on ghosts. These trials also manage to do a good job of teaching you the tricks and rhythms of each particular maze, whereas Ghost Combo scores you on how many enemies you can devour in one lengthy powered-up streak. The tricks you'll learn in both modes will encourage you to go back into Score Attack for another attempt at your personal best.

Penn State Behrend to present 'Anatomy of Gray'
When Penn State Behrend theater director David Vegh brings Jim Leonard's "Anatomy of Gray" to the Studio Theatre stage, he will not only be sharing a provocative play, he also will be honoring an old friend and teacher.
In the 1980s, Vegh, then an undergraduate, met and befriended Leonard during a workshop of his popular drama "The Diviners." Vegh went on to study playwriting with him in graduate school, and when Leonard headed for Hollywood to work in television, Vegh followed, working with him on "The Marshal" and "Dexter."
"I've been a big fan of his writing for a long time, and he was a mentor figure to me," Vegh said.
He thought this play was a good fit for Behrend's limited theater space and for his students, who relate to its themes of losing a loved one, yearning for the excitement of the world beyond one's hometown and the intersection between science and faith.
"I like plays that are minimalist in the sense that they invite the audience to use their imaginations," he said.
The plot involves a learned doctor whose arrival in a small town shakes up its deeply religious residents. (Both the doctor and the town are named Gray.) Despite being set in the 1880s, Vegh noted that the writing has a modern sensibility and that elements like humor and a hint of magical realism help balance the play's sometimes somber tone.
The cast of 14 includes nine speaking roles and a chorus of singers, which Vegh added. The students are delving into their characters with gusto, and Vegh is excited to see how audiences respond to their efforts.
"There's a lot of humor in it, but at the same time, it asks some pretty big questions. And there's a pretty strong emotional journey in it," he said. "It's ultimately a heartwarming story."

Ghosts of War: Bringing historic legacies to the present
What's the relationship between our history and our daily reality?
Each day we walk by our local store, our neighbor's place or the park, without realizing the stories from the past that existed in those same places many years before.
While we often think of history as antique, irrelevant and something out of the past, it can just as easily be intertwined with the present.
Imagine what it would look like if the ghosts of World War II came back to the streets today. That's what Dutch historian Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse shows through her Ghosts of War photo series.
The photos depict historic images of WWII soldiers in the streets as they might look in the present. Using modern scenes, she documents past and present through images superimposed on those from the war-torn 1930s and 1940s.
Teeuwisse began her project after finding 300 old negatives at a local flea market in Amsterdam. During her research to discover more behind the photos, she decided to create the photos with a different context.
To get the precise photos, she traveled to the sites in the war photos and took a replica image. Using Photoshop, she superimposed ghost-like images of soldiers from old war photos with images taken in the same places across Europe.
Since she a little girl, Teeuwisse has been fascinated by history and old photos. After studying film, she created the Historical Consultancy 30-45 to help museums, schools and film companies make their productions more historically authentic.
By combining historical pictures with photos made on the exact same spot today, I try to make people realise that history is all around us. That where you live, work or go to school, once people fought, died or simply experienced a different kind of life. We are history, history is us. Originally made as part of my research, I now make these combination photos because of my interest for the subject and to try and make people think about the past, remember and respect the sacrifices the generations before us made. - Jo Hedwig Teuwisse
How do you preserve legacies of the past in the present? What do you think of Teeuwisee's journey back to the days of WWII combined with the present?

Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, has proposed a state budget deficit reduction of $1.7 billion by eliminating redevelopment agencies funded by tax increment financing.
Many from both parties oppose this cut. As a conservative, I like limited government and lower taxes. A Democrat proposing a $1.7 billion cut has my full attention. After some investigation, I have a rough idea of how redevelopment works. I don't like what I see.
Since the 1990s, state Assemblyman Chris Norby, a Republican from Orange County, has advocated elimination of redevelopment. According to his "Redevelopment: The Unknown Government" in 1998, redevelopment "consumes 8 percent of all property taxes statewide, $1.5 billion in 1997. It has a total indebtedness of over $41 billion" (see http://bit.ly/cQ99RN).
Today, Norby writes, redevelopment initiatives "divert 12 percent of all property taxes statewide, amounting to $2.7 billion taken from public schools and $646 million from counties," and redevelopment agency "indebtedness now tops $100 billion" (http://bit.ly/eI2OdU).
Brown was quoted by Townhall Magazine's Debra J. Saunders last month saying that when he was mayor of Oakland, he "liked redevelopment. I didn't quite understand it. It seemed kind of magical. It was the money that you could spend on stuff that they wouldn't otherwise let you spend" (http://bit.ly/fiLMae).
What are we getting for the property tax increment redirected to redevelopment?
For the cities, retail tax increment financings result in a net loss of jobs and tax revenues, while industrial tax increment financings result in a net gain, as noted by Paul F. Byrne in the February 2010 Economic Development Quarterly (http://bit.ly/h14o9M).
For the state, redevelopment is not delivering any net gain of jobs, housing or economic improvement.
"Projects collectively generated an estimated 51 percent of the tax increment revenues," according to Michael Dardia's "Subsidizing Redevelopment in California," published by the Public Policy Institute in 1998 (http://bit.ly/ifu3J4).
Of the tax increment financing money collected by redevelopment agencies, 20 percent is mandated to go toward affordable housing. A local newspaper reported that 120 cities somehow spent more than $700 million on housing last year without building a single new unit (http://bit.ly/fiLMae).
Few companies and people move to California, while many leave. With a declining population, competition between California cities is a zero-sum game. Any California city can improve its economy only by taking something away from a neighboring city.
From a state perspective, redevelopment and tax increment financing fuels the competition between cities, does little to gain business from other states, and often funds damaging behavior.
With no standards or definition of what constitutes blight, redevelopment allows a city to declare an area to be "blighted," as Norby put it in 1998, based only a study by a consultant.
Once an area is declared "blighted," a city can seize property for redevelopment through eminent domain. Translation: small businesses and individual property owners get trampled, while bigger businesses and special interests prosper, all "for the greater good."
Tax increment financing rules enable each city's redevelopment agency to take on debt without voter approval, while the debt must be paid back from property taxes.
Within Los Angeles County, about 12 percent of all property tax revenues now go toward paying off redevelopment debts, at the expense of spending on schools, police, fire and other essential services, according to the Governor's Redevelopment Proposal published by the state Legislative Analyst's Office in January.
Without limits on the amount of debt, the potential for abuse is huge.
In the city of Fontana, two-thirds of all property tax revenues goes toward payments on debt incurred by their redevelopment agency, the aforementioned Governor's Redevelopment Proposal notes.
In 1998, Norby pointed out that the City of Industry had more than $1 million of redevelopment agency debt for each resident.
Tax increment financing money enables adjacent cities to raid each other to attract auto malls and big box retailers. The Cerritos Auto Square, made possible by redevelopment agencies, created new "blight" in adjacent cities in the form of abandoned dealerships and empty big boxes. Net benefit at the state level: zero.
Many cities win, but for every winner there will be one or more losers.
California state taxes, among the highest in the nation, are a business repellent.
The great ship California is slowly but surely sinking, while cities expend tremendous effort rearranging the deck chairs.
How exactly does redevelopment advance California competitiveness?
Cities compete with each other, but why should California pay for it?
States compete with each other, so California state expenditures should be used to help the state compete, rather than fueling the zero-sum competition between cities.
Eliminating redevelopment creates a new, level playing field, with increased accountability and transparency. Under taxpayer scrutiny, local expenditures and new local debt will be more closely aligned with local interests.
I hope California Republicans and Democrats will support the proposal.
A huge step toward balancing the budget, this proposal eliminates wasteful city spending while improving accountability.

IoD lunch to highlight future prospects for Jersey's finance industry
The head of the body responsible for representing and promoting Jersey's biggest industry is to take to the podium at this month's IoD Jersey lunch.
Geoff Cook, CEO of Jersey Finance, will be the guest speaker at this month's IoD lunch to give a talk entitled 'First for Finance: current performance and future prospects for Jersey's Finance Industry'.
At the lunch, to be held at the Grand Jersey on Tuesday 8th April, Geoff will outline how the Island's finance industry is performing and what initiatives are currently being undertaken to promote the industry in key overseas markets. He will also highlight some of the opportunities the industry could seek to embrace in the months ahead, and discuss the importance of maintaining a successful finance industry as Jersey returns to growth.
Having joined Jersey Finance as Chief Executive in January 2007, Geoff visits many of the world's leading finance centres on a regular basis in order to promote Jersey's finance industry and update Government officials, regulators, finance professionals and international investors on legal and regulatory developments and service innovations offered by Jersey. He is a regular speaker and contributor to conferences and seminars around the world and writes frequently in leading magazines.
Previous to his role at Jersey Finance, he was Head of Wealth Management for HSBC Bank Plc, based in London, responsible for the delivery of Financial Planning Services to the 10 million HSBC customers in the UK. His earlier career was spent at a senior management level with HSBC Bank plc in the UK and as Head of Personal Financial Services and Deputy to the Chief Executive at HSBC Bank International Limited in Jersey. Geoff is a Fellow of the ifs School of Finance, a Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment, a Member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of International Bankers.
Steven Hunt, Chairman of the Jersey IoD Events committee, said:
"During the global financial crisis, Jersey's finance industry has performed well. As the world returns to growth, however, competition from other centres is certainly going to increase and Jersey needs to be prepared for that. With the industry representing over 40% of Jersey's entire economy, this is important not just for the 12,000 people who work in financial services, but also for the island as a whole – the finance industry spends over £1m a day on local goods and services. How we embrace the opportunities that are open to us is absolutely vital and Jersey Finance are at the forefront of those efforts. I am therefore delighted that Geoff Cook can join us for our lunch this month."
The IoD lunch is on Tuesday 8th April at the Grand Jersey and is open to both members and non-members of the IoD. The lunch starts with networking drinks from 12:00pm and finishes at 14:00. Tickets are £25, inclusive of drinks and a two-course lunch, wine and coffee, and can be purchased from the IoD Branch Officer, Kirsten Higgins on 610799 or at email@example.com.

A California federal judge on Monday refused to toss a proposed class action lawsuit accusing Twinnings North America Inc. of making unlawful nutrient content and health benefit claims about its Green, Black and White teas, saying the plaintiff may be able to prove injury once she obtains Twinnings' financial records and pricing information, which she says could prove the Twinnings Tea products were marked up based on the allegedly unfair practices.
This is the second time that Twinnings has lost a bid to have the case dismissed.
In a class action lawsuit filed in 2012, plaintiff Nancy Lanovaz says she paid a premium price for Twinings Tea products and would not have purchased them without the allegedly unlawful labeling that the tea is a "natural source of antioxidants."
Lanovas does not dispute that the teas contain flavonoids, a type of antioxidant, but argues that the Food and Drug Administration does not allow nutrient content claims about flavonoids because the FDA has not established a recommended daily intake for flavonoids. Therefore, Lavonaz argues that Twinnings' labels and websites are deceptive, misleading, and unlawful even if they are technically true.
Twinnings sought to dismiss the false labeling class action lawsuit, arguing that Lanovaz did not rely on the allegedly misleading statements in her purchasing decisions and could not establish that Twinnings made unlawful claims about the teas' nutrient content and health claims.
While agreeing with the company that website content and labeling regarding sources of antioxidants is not an "illegal health claim," Judge Ronald M. Whyte was otherwise unpersuaded by the motion to summarily dismiss the Twinnings Tea class action lawsuit.
Lanovaz had said both in the class action lawsuit and subsequent deposition that she was a long-time buyer of Twinnings Tea Earl Grey Blend Tea for roughly two decades, but roughly seven years ago, she also began buying the brand's Green Tea for its purported health benefits. When deposed, she said that she believed the labeling information meant "that it's a major source – a natural source of antioxidants," compared to the label which states that the product is "[a] natural source of protective antioxidants."
Judge Whyte noted in his Jan. 6 decision to deny summary judgment that regulations regarding food and beverage labeling are designed to minimize confusion and that the mentions of antioxidants were not puffery.
In addition, while Lanovaz does not allege in the putative class action lawsuit that she bought all of the more than 50 Twinings Tea products included in the complaint, Judge Whyte noted that they all contained the same key ingredient: extracts of the camellia sinensis plant.
While the company had sought to dismiss the class action lawsuit because of the minimal damages the plaintiff suffered, the decision noted that similar cases had been allowed to proceed regardless of the amount of economic harm suffered. If the plaintiff could demonstrate that she paid more than was necessary, that would satisfy the pleading requirement.
Further, that may be confirmed by efforts in discovery to ascertain whether the false labeling reportedly accompanied a change in pricing based on the fact that consumers are willing to pay more for products that are more healthy than competing options.
However, Judge Whyte did trim claims of reliance on website content, noting that in her own testimony, Lanovaz did not take into account statements regarding antioxidants she read online for complaints regarding black and white tea as compared to green tea variants.
Lanovaz is represented by class action attorney Ben F. Pierce Gore of Pratt & Associates.
The Twinings Tea False Labeling Class Action Lawsuit is Nancy Lanovaz v. Twinings North America Inc., Case No. 12-cv-02646, in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California.
UPDATE: A federal judge certified the Twinings tea class action lawsuit on April 24, 2014.
UPDATE 2: On Mar. 17, 2016, in a motion for summary judgment, Twinings argued that the plaintiffs failed to show evidence that a "reasonable consumer" was likely to be deceived by the statement "natural source of antioxidants."
UPDATE 3: On May 9, 2016, Twinings filed another motion to dismiss the claims.
UPDATE 4: On Sept. 6, 2016, Twinings won a bid for dismissal in a consumer fraud class action lawsuit claiming the company falsely represented the health benefits of more than 50 different blends of its teas.

Brigadier General (RET) Steve A. Chappuis
Brigadier General
(Ret.) Steve A.
Brigadier General (Ret.) Steve A. Chappuis was born in Rayne, Louisiana, on December 28, 1913, to Archie and Elise Chappuis, and passed away on August 19, 2008 in Tacoma, Washington, at the age of 94.
General Chappuis graduated in 1936 from Louisiana State University and was appointed a second lieutenant in the US Army Reserve. In 1941 he was selected for parachute training and assigned to the 502nd Parachute Infantry Battalion. At the rank of Lt. Colonel, he participated in the airborne invasions of Normandy in June 1944 and Holland in September 1944 as commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. For these operations he was awarded the Silver Star and the French Croix de Guerre. He assumed command of the 502nd Parachute Regiment on September 22, 1944 during the Holland operation. General Chappuis was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by General George Patton for his role in the defense of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 – January 1945.
During the war he earned the nickname "Silent Steve," reflecting his determination, reserve, and humility as an officer. He was also knighted by the queen of Holland for his participation in liberating the town of Eindhoven, Holland, receiving the Military Willems Order. To this day, the Dutch refer to him as "the great liberator."
He married Kathryn A. Jurjevich, of Galesburg, IL, on June 6, 1946 at Fort Meyer, VA.
Following World War II, General Chappuis served with Army Ground Forces, Department of the Army General Staff, Department Defense Staff, and attended the Canadian Army Staff College and the Army War College. His further assignments included SHAPE in The Hague, Netherlands; Headquarters Allied Forces Southern Europe, Naples, Italy; Deputy Chief of Staff, Operations for the XVIII Airborne Corps, Fort Bragg, N.C.; Deputy Chief of Staff, 1st Corps Group, Korea; Deputy Commander, 4th Infantry Division Brigade; Assistant Division Commander, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, WA; Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, Headquarters, US Continental Army Command, Fort Monroe, VA; Assistant Post Commander, Fort Lewis, WA; and Commander of X US Army Corps, Fort Lawton, WA.
Upon retiring from the Army, General Chappuis worked with the Bank of Washington in Tacoma, after which he and Kay enjoyed many years of traveling throughout the United States and Europe.
He was an avid tennis player, reader, and woodworker, a devoted husband and father, and kind friend to many. He lived for his family and one of his greatest joys in later years was preparing for their holiday celebrations. He was sustained by his strong Catholic faith throughout his life.
General Chappuis is survived by his wife of 62 years, Kay; daughter Suzanne Winkles and her husband Bill (Ocean Shores, WA); son, Steve, his wife Jan, and their daughter Claire Elise (Portland, OR); brothers Jack (New Orleans, LA), Donald (Brevard, NC), and Charles (Rayne, LA); and many loving nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, father, brother Richard, and sister Dorothy.
The Chappuis family wishes to express their appreciation for the kindness and caring of the attending medical staff at Madigan Army Medical Center, especially the nursing staff in ICU East.
A Funeral Mass will be held at St. John Bosco Church, 10508 112th St SW, Tacoma, WA 98498 at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 28, 2008. Private family burial was held at the Mt. Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, WA Donations may be directed to the Madigan Foundation, P.O. Box 97215, Lakewood WA 97215; or St. John Bosco Church, 10508 112th St SW, Tacoma WA 98498.ga

If ever we needed proof of the effectiveness of Richards recording of these nasty little events this is it .
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign and its various shirt tail hanger-on would like nothing better than to conduct their squalid hate filled agenda behind closed doors played out to a fawning audience . By attending these meetings and simply recording , visual and audio , there is simply no place to hide
The stone has been kicked over leaving all to scurry about looking for a dark place in order to continue their nefarious activities By recording and staying silent , Richard simply allows the camera to do the talking . The proof is all there . It is indisputable . It highlights the fact like no person ever could , that these wretched individuals are primarily concerned with the eradication of Israel rather than the declaration of a Palestinian state as part of a two state solution .
In order to maximize this hatred they see fit to wheel out " action man " Ken okeefe . An inveterate antisemite who labels Jews as Nazis and holds them responsible for 9/11 .
Nice company you keep Jenny !
Richard was prevented from recording at QMC the following evening for just this reason .
He has set the gold standard for exposing the underlying racist agenda of so many of these so called Palestinian activists . Perhaps it's time we all invested in an iPhone .
After all , they cannot prevent all of us from attending their hate fests .
Fascist and racist activity must not be tolerated in our society and especially not on campus .
Richard has helped put pay to one individual .!

A court in Pakistan has sentenced a Christian woman to death by hanging for blasphemy against Islam.
Release International, a group that helps persecuted Christians, reports that Asia Bibi was working with Muslim women who were pressuring her to renounce her faith.
Bibi responded by telling the women Jesus died on the cross for all of mankind. She then asked them what Mohammed had done for them. Local Muslim leaders demanded she be charged with blasphemy for the statement. The thirty-something mother of two has insisted she is innocent and has vowed to appeal the ruling. Meanwhile, Andy Dipper, Release International's chief executive officer, was stunned by the court's decision.
"Pakistan has crossed a line in passing the death sentence on a woman for blasphemy," he said. "In effect Asia has been sentenced to death for sharing her Christian faith," he said.
"In previous cases, the death sentence has not been carried out. But this could well mean a life sentence for Asia in appalling conditions on death row," Dipper added.
Pakistan, a democratic nation of over 170 million people, routinely targets Christians for the crime of blasphemy.
In October, Release called for a day of prayer for the country's persecuted Christian minority.
"The blasphemy law fosters injustice and vigilantism,' Dipper said. 'It must be repealed. So pray for Pakistan."

Public Works trying to shut down Bagby St. pedestrian-orientation after the fact?
From InnerLooped: Apparently, the [Bagby St. pedestrian improvements] project (already 100 days into construction) with city-approved plans that have been vetted by members of the community, is coming to a halt in a couple days. Yes, construction (and all work on Bagby) is about to stop (and remain in its current state). Why? Because the [...]
Paris to Introduce All Electric Car Sharing Program
As a follow up to my previous post on new bicycle sharing programs, news today that Paris plans to introduce an all electric car sharing program within the city. As the article notes, the system has the potential to provide many benefits but also many pitfalls. It will be interesting to see how the system [...]
Mexico City Initiates Bike Share Program
Mexico City has initiated a new bike sharing program called "Ecobici." The program, based on similar systems in many European cities, allows users to access bicycles after paying an annual membership fee. The intent of the program is to encourage the use alternative forms of transportation. The hope is that getting more cars off the [...]
How Efficient Are We in Our Use of Oil?
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the continuing environmental catastrophe that has resulted got me thinking about domestic oil consumption in the United States. Clearly, this disaster is one consequence of our dependence on petroleum and the need to satisfy that dependence with offshore exploration in increasingly difficult and hostile environments. It [...]
Serenbe – Experiencing Urbanism at a Micro Scale
This is Selborne Village, in the Serenbe Development located near Palmetto Georgia. Serenbe is a conservation development, where a very large parcel of land (400+ acres) was largely preserved in its natural state through the development of tiny villages which take up only a small portion of the site. Clustering the development in this way allows for some interesting things to happen, which I think you can see pretty well in the video below.
Combustion Charge Zone
The Combustion Charge Zone should reduce congestion and raise funds for the transportation system. In addition to this, the Combustion Charge Zone should help reduce air and noise pollution.
The Future of Land Access
Now we have a better understanding of the dearth of federal public lands in Texas, the historical reasons for this dearth and why, in the future this could be a problem. We can now better explore some of potential policies that could provide the public with greater access to public lands. Acquisition of Property The [...]
Access to Nature
Texas is often seen as quintessentially "Western." The big open spaces and the images of cowboys, cattle and horses abound. Certainly many residents of Texas think of the state in that manner; even when they reside in one of the state's enormous cities. One needs only to look at the recent Houston Live Stock and [...]
I was browsing through some data about historical gas prices, when I found some an interesting graph from the Energy Information Administration. Immediately something jumped off the page at me: when looking at historical inflation-adjusted gas prices, every time the price goes above $2.50 we've had a major economic meltdown.
Changing Behavior through Fun
Sometimes humor is the best way to change behavior. At a particular subway station in Sweden everyone rode the escalator up, virtually no one chose the stairs. Well, stairs are clearly a little healthier since they require more effort to walk up… so is there something that we can do to encourage people to make the healthy choice? See for yourself:

The concept is simple - connect those who need help with those who can help.
It might begin with a mother who is diagnosed with cancer and a father who leaves his job to help her. They lose the car and the kids begin acting out, said Dr. Beth McMahon, president of Favors Forward.
On average for two to three months, that family receives the help they need, with meals, a cleaning crew, transportation and positive skill building for the children.
"The hardship is mostly felt by kids acting out," McMahon said.
The children are given an opportunity to try something they always wanted to learn, such as gymnastics or music. By learning that skill, it helps reduce the sense of hopelessness, she said.
Adverse childhood experiences have been linked to a range of adverse mental and physical health outcomes through a lifetime, including personal and academic development delays, substances abuse, depression, suicide, cardiovascular disease and premature mortality.
Yet having activity in which one part of a child's life may be controlled, reduces those threats.
"It doesn't matter what activity, as long as they're involved with something routinely, it helps," McMahon said.
After that time is over, the family now may return the favor by helping in whatever way they can.
"We're not handing you anything," McMahon said. "Next month, if I need a cleaning crew, if you're up to it, you're going to be on it."
Mackenzie Benner, of Williamsport, who recently turned 11, received horseback riding lessons from Linda Lee-Bower, owner of Woodridge Farm.
"Favors Forward offered a program because of my husband going on his third deployment," said mother Teianna Benner. "They pay for an activity for the child of the deployed."
Her husband, who left Tuesday, had a chance to see her in her lessons.
To pay it back, Mackenzie and some friends held a yard sale with a lemonade stand. The money raised went to help a family buy school supplies.
Mackenzie also has helped pick up trash in the park for a few hours.
She has been taking the horseback lessons for almost a year and also attended an all-day summer camp for five days.
Horseback riding has always been an interest for Mackenzie. Without Favors Forward, she probably never would have become involved, Teianna said.
Lee-Bower became involved with Favors Forward because she was introduced to McMahon through horses.
"I provide some lessons to some kids going through hardships," Lee-Bower said. "The smiles are what pay me back. It's a very, very worthwhile cause. Beth started this cause to fill a need and I think she has filled it. I am honored to be a part of it."
She will continue to provide the lessons at a discounted rate for the program and hopes to start some programs to provide riding lessons for groups of kids through the organization.
"We try to strengthen services in the community," McMahon said. "There's an epidemic of volunteerism."
Earlier this year, the Favors Forward Foundation received the Community Leadership Award of Merit from the state Public Health Association because of its leadership, contributions and impact on public health.
"It's really the hallmark for public health efforts in Pennsylvania," McMahon said. "What the award has to do with this is just a grassroots effort that engages an entire community to take ownership. I think that's why the foundation received it."
For McMahon, the organization is not one where one person directs others, but is a full community response. It also helps the people who might be embarrassed to ask for help because instead of getting a hand-out, they're helping others, too.
"The Pennsylvania Public Health Association is such a remarkable organization," McMahon said. "It's really a leader for public health efforts. It's quite an honor to be honored by those who do that for a living."
How the organization works is that people are not told what they have to do.
"We won't ask you to read if that's not your interest," McMahon said. "You can knit for Adopt-A-Shelter We try to capitalize on the skill sets and interests."
Before the family receives any help, they must go through a background check and a Megan's Law review. The organization also makes sure that the family is not receiving similar help elsewhere. Instead, it focuses on the families who have slipped through the cracks of other organizations.
The organization targets members of the community who are not receiving ongoing assistance and have experienced sudden and unexpected hardships, such as illness, death, disability or unemployment.
Favors Forward, a non-profit organization established two years ago, is a social network of more than 200 volunteers of all ages and skill sets.
Those skills include mechanics, accountants, cooks, cleaners, home improvement workers, food deliverers and more.
"We facilitate relations that are dying to happen," McMahon said. "Matchmaking."
Some of the volunteers did not receive help in the first place, but just want to provide favors for those who need it.
"If I take care of this person, it'll make the world a better place," McMahon said.
One of those volunteers is Steve Wiser, Lycoming College assistant head football coach.
He has been helping with the organization for a few years now because he and his wife were looking for an opportunity to help people less fortunate than themselves.
He adopted a family from Jersey Shore for Christmas. His football players helped move a family. On Sundays, they deliver food that Wegmans donates. This year he also adopted a child at back-to-school time.
The Adopt a Student Back to School matches the student with a local business, organization, agency or individual willing to provide the child's entire back-to-school needs.
"That's why I'm involved, to see the smile on their faces," Wiser said. "I get more pleasure, and my wife is the same way, I get more pleasure for helping other people than helping yourself. It's more about giving."
In addition to him and his wife, he involves the football players because he believes it is a good way to get them involved in the community.
"They learn to appreciate what others are going through," Wiser said. "The players are good about it. The parents encourage it. They like the idea of the community service It's a great education out of the classroom."
"There's no magic behind what we do," McMahon said. "We saw an opportunity and capitalized on it. They feel that positive addiction of helping others."

The Miami Heat, despite their best-in-the-East record, have a glaring hole at the center position.
They don't necessarily need a 20-10 center, just one who can provide solid defense and rebounding, and can finish around the rim.
Here are some trade targets the Heat should strongly consider making a trade package for to help bolster their 5 position.

The Bible Group Study Where A Heart Broke In Two: A Short Story
"Stop it Richard. Just shut up already!" Jane cried out. Her husband, in the middle of expounding on the Bible to the six other attendees, did stop; more out of shock than obedience to her wishes. In fact, the entire home Bible study group were frozen with shock. "I can't take it anymore. I can't sit here one more second and listen to your drivel. You talk like you know, like you are an expert on God. But you know what," she said, shaking as she addressed her husband of 16 years, "you don't know the first thing about God! You don't know anything, and I can't take another second of your babble."
"Jane," Richard said, "what in the devil has gotten into you?"
"Not you!" She cried out, "certainly not your proud theology."
To her right, Simon, one of the elders at their church, stiffened in his seat. He cleared his throat loudly. The room gave him their attention. "Jane, that is no way for a woman to speak to her husband, you must submit to—"
"Enough! Don't you dare say another word to me about submission. I'm sick of it. I've been silent my whole life because of fear; fearful I wasn't being submissive. What has that done for me? What is now left of me? God, your sick theology has almost completely killed my spirit. I'm a zombie. I'm meant to be a free spirit, a blessed child of the Almighty, but I'm not, I'm dying inside." She looked around the room, "Each one of you too, we're all dying. Don't you see. Doesn't anyone here see. We've all got nothing to say, no one except my husband." Turning to Richard, she continued, "And what do you have to tell us, straight-faced and with a heart of stone, you tell us God is using us like batteries. That we are only good for our output. You tell us of your own foolish ideas and because you wrap them up in a few Scripture verses, you think you're teaching us about God?—enough!" She screamed, "Enough with your theology. Enough with your egotistic dreams. Enough of all the lies that are killing the life I still have in me—enough! I won't take another moment of it."
She stormed out of the living area. Still in full view of the whole group, she put on her coat and scarf. Outside, a dreadful storm was pounding down upon the neighborhood. "Does this matter to you?" she called out to her husband without looking at him. Continuing to dress herself frantically, she asked, "Does it matter I've half lost my mind by this twisted theology we've devoted ourselves to? Does it bother you, Richard, that your more interested in finishing your shallow Bible lesson than you are with your wife's heart breaking in two?"
She glanced around at the group, her hollow eyes echoing off the faces before her. She turned and left without another word, slamming the door behind her.
The group sat in silence, some smiled awkwardly at each other, others stared at the floor.
Richard glanced briefly out the window, watching the rain belting against the glass. Slowly, he turned back to his Bible, reopened it and found his place. What should I do? he asked himself. The whole group was silently asking themselves the same question, but nobody knew. Nobody knew anything at all.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker delivered a rousing 11-minute speech Tuesday, the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
Booker's speech brought the crowd to its feet several times, and the New Jersey delegation heaped praise on him after.
