Department welcomes new faculty member
August 24, 2016
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. The Department of Aerospace Engineering is excited and proud to welcome Alan R. Wagner as its newest faculty member.
Wagner comes to Penn State as an assistant professor, having previously been a social robotics researcher at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), where he worked in the Aerospace, Transportation and Advanced Systems Laboratory. He will also be affiliated with, and co-funded by, the Penn State Rock Ethics Institute.
The field of aerospace engineering is replete with topics that demand ethical thinking from our students, and the advent of autonomous drones brings new challenges. We are delighted to have recruited Dr. Wagner to Penn Statehis research in the ethical dimensions of human-robot socialization and its applications to interactions between pilots and unmanned aerial vehicles fits very well with the future we see, said George Lesieutre, associate dean for research in the College of Engineering and former head of the aerospace engineering department. We believe he will have a real impact on the ethics community on campus, helping to address broader questions related to what decisions humans should allow robots to make on our behalf.
In this newly created, highly interdisciplinary position, Wagner will primarily focus his research on developing the theoretical underpinnings necessary for human-robot social relations and the design and creation of systems which can interact with people pro-socially as they relate to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in search-and-rescue and humanitarian missions.
He will also focus on helping policymakers understand the ethical ramifications of developing such systems and integrating ethics into the aerospace engineering curriculum.
Im absolutely excited about this opportunityto explore the combination of aerospace engineering, UAVs, and ethicswhich is something that hasnt ever been done at Penn State but is quickly becoming a critical societal issue, said Wagner. My goal is to positively influence the development of robots that can not only interact with humans, but are also capable of representing, reasoning, and developing relationships with others in a variety of environments.
Wagners research borrows heavily from social psychology, behavioral economics, and artificial intelligence, focusing on higher, cognitive aspects of human-robot socialization. His recent work has focused on the development of a framework based on social psychological and game theory that allows a robot to computationally represent its social interactions with a human, which has led to insights into higher social phenomenon such as trust, deception, and stereotyping, as well as computational methods that allow a robot to reason about whether a situation demands trust or warrants deception.
Knowing when and whether to trust robots and how much autonomy to give them are questions that will become increasingly important to society, said Philip J. Morris, interim head of aerospace engineering and Boeing/A.D. Welliver Professor of Aerospace Engineering. I am pleased that aerospace engineering and the Rock Ethics Institute combined resources to establish Alans position to provide valuable insight into interactions between humans and machines.
Wagners research has been featured in Scientist Magazine, Popular Science, The Wall Street Journal, Science, and on CBS News. His work was ranked 13th in TIME magazines Top 50 Inventions of 2010.
He has also earned several awards within the human-robot interaction community, including the Best Paper Award at RO-MAN 2007, the 16th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication; the Air Force Young Investigator Award; and GTRI's Innovative Research Award.
Wagner, who is originally from North Olmsted, a suburb of Cleveland, OH, received his doctoral degree in computer science from the Georgia Tech in 2009. He earned his masters degree in computer science from Boston University in 2001 and holds a bachelors degree in psychology from Northwestern University.
As an avid skier and hiker, Wagner is looking forward to living in State College and making the traditional hike up Mount Nittany. Hes also part of a unique club of highpointers whose goal is to climb the highest point of each U.S. state.

Aerospace engineering alum receives
Navys Lead Tester award
May 19, 2016
Tom Briggs, a 1990 aerospace engineering graduate, won the 2015 Department of the Navy Test and Evaluation Award for Lead Tester.
Briggs was nominated for the award, but said he had no idea that a nomination had been submitted on his behalf. Each nomination is vetted first at the squadron level, then at the division level, then through the command level before the selections are made.
Nominations are submitted from across the different Naval Systems Commands and from Navy and Marine Corps Operational Test Agencies, he said.
Briggs said he believes he was nominated because of the work he does with his team and the F-35 test program at Patuxent River.
His responsibilities with the F-35 Test Team are to keep the engineering corps of approximately 225 flight test engineers ready to plan for, execute and report on all aspects of F-35 flight testing for the Navy and Marine Corps.
He said his team is preparing to take two F-35C aircraft on board the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN-73) for testing this summer, and also to take two F-35B aircraft across the country to go to sea and test aboard the USS AMERICA (LHA-6) in the fall. The team continues shore-based tests with new aerial refueling tankers and continues to meet the necessary test objectives for the Naval services to get the most capability out of this design.
There have been a lot of late hours, weekends and holiday time spent at work, away from our homes and families, Briggs said. Our integrated team of civil servants, contractors, military members and foreign partners works together to perform high risk flight tests, keep a positive attitude, and tackle the day-to-day challenges posed by a program of this size. Being a part of a team that does so many amazing things every day can make anyone look good.
Since graduating from Penn State, Briggs said he has been fortunate enough to land a job in the flight test field. It is a field where he had wanted to work from the time he took his first flight test class at Penn State with Hugh Smith, professor of aerospace engineering.
He started working at the Carrier Suitability Flight Test Department at Patuxent River right after graduation. In the years that followed, he ran flight test programs aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, tested aircraft in Finland and has participated in flight tests aboard the United Kingdoms HMS INVINCIBLE.
He completed a year of training and flying at the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School, obtained a masters degree in engineering management, and had the good fortune to work with some of the most talented and hardworking engineers in the country, he said.
Briggs took a side journey in 1991 to try to fly for the Navy, but had a medical disqualification and could not be a pilot. However, while he was pursuing that, he said he met his wife, Wendy. They have been married for 22 years and have two children, Katie, 16, and Jack, 13.
He said he is incredibly blessed to have a family that supports the work he does and the long hours it takes to do it.
Briggs also said he was initially surprised when he received a text message from his Chief Test Engineer congratulating him on his selection for the Lead Tester Award, and he has been extremely humbled by the good wishes from both his current team and colleagues he worked with over the course of his career.

>Trey Ellis
"AN OWNER'S MANUAL FOR WOMEN about men" is how Trey Ellis, 30, describes his risqué and comic coming-of-age novel. "I wanted women to feel that they were learning some male trade secrets," he says. "And I hope men find something they'll recognize but maybe haven't expressed."
Ellis admits that a character who, like himself, is a product of Phillips Academy, Andover, and Stanford, challenges conventional views of black men. "Usually black male characters seem so tough, so street. But Austin is not that self-confident. He's not special or weird—I really think he's an Everyman. Unfortunately, there are people who still try to pigeonhole black men and see us only as Africa, as a problem, or as something to be pitied or feared."
Born in Washington, son of a psychiatrist and a psychologist, Ellis speaks Italian, has lived in Europe and hitchhiked through Africa. Engaged to Erika Wright, 30, a Ph.D. candidate in history at UCLA, he lives in Santa Monica and is at work on two film projects: The Inkwell, a comedy set on Martha's Vineyard, Mass., and Home Repairs, optioned by Denzel Washington. "From the beginning I wanted to be a comedy writer. I was too shy to do stand-up. No one would hire me at Saturday Night Live and SCTV, so I went off and wrote Platitudes."
Ellis enjoys skydiving and surfing. "I want my books to be iconoclastic and my life to be at least as unusual and adventurous," he says. "That's the thing: You can be black and surf. They are not mutually exclusive."

World Bulletin / News Desk
A New Zealand volcano dormant for more than a century has spewed boulders and spread an ash cloud over the centre of the country, disrupting air traffic but causing no other damage or injuries.
Mount Tongariro, one of three volcanic peaks in the central North Island, roared into life late on Monday night, as craters on the mountain located in a national park near popular hot springs, exploded with bright flashes and thunderous booms.
The spew of rocks, fine particles and steam from the snow-capped, 1,978-m (6,490-ft) peak, was caused by a pressure buildup of volcanic gases, volcanologists said, after seismic activity had increased in recent weeks.
Steve Sherburn, volcanologist at New Zealand's Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, said the scale of the eruption was unexpected, as activity at the volcano had been sporadic before Monday's explosion.
"We haven't had any activity for several days so to go from what we had seen to an eruption last night was a little surprising," he said.
A cloud of ash billowed over the central North Island on Tuesday, blanketing the area with a thick, grey carpet of ash.
Flights to and from provincial destinations, including renowned tourist spot Rotorua, were delayed or cancelled on Tuesday, and local highways were closed for a time, but there were no reports of damage or injury.
Meteorologists said the ash cloud was being blown eastwards towards the Pacific Ocean.
The last time Mount Tongariro erupted was in 1897, ending a decades-long period of intermittent activity, and Sherburn said Monday's explosion could be the start of more such activity in the area.
"At the moment we really don't know, it could just be a singular event, or it could be the start of a period similar to what we've seen historically," he said.
Neighbouring Mount Ruapehu is the most active volcano in New Zealand, last erupting in 2007 when it sent a lahar, or mud slide, down the side of the mountain.
Major eruptions in 1995 and 1996 by Ruapehu resulted in widespread flights disruptions and the closure of ski fields on the mountain.

Men are lagging when it comes to the internet. We've already discussed the fairer sex's lead in driving online sales and social networking — and now, women also comprise the majority of e-book readers.
Earlier this year, The New York Times reported that sales of women's magazine apps outperform on the Nook Color over the iPad. And now data from Nielsen confirm one reason why: 61% of women currently own e-readers (like the Nook), up from 46% last year.
Men still make up the majority of tablet owners (though women are catching up, at 43%), while smartphone usage is split evenly.
While women's digital savvy may not come as breaking news to retailers and magazine editors, another uptick is more surprising: more older readers are embracing e-books and tablets. The 55-and-over age demographic saw a 9% increase in tablet ownership and 5% increase in e-reader ownership this year.
Do these shifting trends in the growth of a digital readership mean e-book and tablet advertisers need to adjust their target ad demographic? More importantly, will they?

For those of you looking to get off the diet roller coaster, get back to the basics, and develop a balanced and sustainable lifestyle to get you feeling your best, health coach and personal trainer Pamela Hernandez has released an ebook just for you: The 4 Keys to Real Fitness.
Pamela Hernandez is an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and ACE Certified Health Coach (who is also a long-time partner of DietsInReview.com) with a thriving practice in Springfield, MO, where she is the owner of Thrive Personal Fitness. We spoke with her about her no-frills, easy-to-follow guidelines to a healthier, happier life, and how her personal life experiences support her clients.
"I've always wanted to help empower women," says Hernandez. "Fitness gave me the strength and confidence to pursue my dreams. I want other women to feel strong and capable of doing anything they wish."
No matter the age or experience level, Pamela has found four essential components to fitness success, which she describes in her new e-book. These elements aren't groundbreaking, "but when they are applied with the right mindset they work every time." (more…)
Heather Martinez spent many years adapting to her weight gain instead of addressing it. Heavy since elementary school, she remembers not being able to participate in sports or other activities. She admits she would eat her lunch and then eat what was left of her friend's lunch too. After school she chose fattening snacks like cookies, chips and candy. Her weight struggle progressed through junior high and high school, eventually reaching 326 pounds.
Today, Heather is 185 thinner and has maintained the loss for several years. She wants her story to inspire others saying, "You can begin to live healthier at any point in your life. You have the power to change at any moment."
More from Heather in her own words –
What habits specifically led you to gain weight? There were multiple factors that led me to gain weight: Eating the wrong foods, eating large quantities of food at one time, not eating vegetables and fruits and constant snacking on unhealthy options.
What caused you to realize you needed to change? I knew I needed to make a change when I began choking in my sleep. Another turning point was when I could no longer fit into a restaurant booth or a movie theater seat. The final straw came when I visited my favorite clothing store and realized I could not fit into the biggest size they offered.
How did you lose the weight? I started walking around my parent's pool. I was so obese that I could only walk for 3 minutes and I would be out of breath. Other tactics I used included cutting out all fast food and sweets, keeping a food journal and scheduling workouts in a calendar.
What diet and exercise methods did you employ? I incorporated healthy options into my diet such as baked chicken and fish, protein shakes, nuts, avocados fruits and vegetables. At first, my exercise routine included walking and lifting weights, but as I began to lose more weight, I added boot camps, boxing, Turbo kick and body combat classes to my program.
By Janis Jibrin, M.S. RD, Lead Nutritionist for TheBestLife.com
Having trouble getting your portions under control? Here are five tactics to help you rein them in.
Get enough sleep. When you're sleep-deprived, you're likely to feel hungrier because your body produces more appetite-spiking hormones and fewer "I'm full" signals. For instance, a German study found that after just four nights of sleeping seven, six, six and finally just four hours, women took in 20 percent more calories than they did after getting eight hours of sleep. For most people, seven to eight hours is ideal.
Don't wait too long between meals. You know what happens when you do—you become ravenous and devour everything in sight! Make sure to carry a nut and seed bar or another 150- to 200-calorie snack for when you're stuck in a meeting, on a plane, or in another situation where having a meal isn't an option. (more…)
When most people start a diet, they focus on the numbers that appear on the scale, but Colleen Fields had a different sort of goal in mind, her dress size. In January 2010, Colleen weighed 304 pounds and wore a size 26 W. Her goal was to shed enough weight so that she could wear a size 12 by her 40th birthday. She knew she had just under two years to make it happen.
As a child, Colleen remembers being "chubby," but says her real struggle with weight didn't occur until after she had her second child. She gained 75 pounds with her son and never shed the extra weight. Then, a divorce and the demands of being a single parent caused her to gain even more.
Colleen explains, "I had a terrible marriage that left me with significant self-esteem issues. I left him shortly after my son was born and I poured myself into my kids (I also have a daughter, same father, who is three years older). I went back to school, I worked full-time, and I shuttled them to all of the normal kid activities – Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, gymnastics, baseball, soccer, dance, swimming, etc. I wanted to give them as much of a normal childhood as possible despite the fact that their father was not involved in their lives, and in the process I ignored myself. I would leave work, pick them up from day care, take them to their activities, grab fast food, get home and do homework, then put them to bed and I would do my own homework. There was no time for me and I didn't make me a priority."
Call it tedious, but it worked. Jason Swenk, 35, of Atlanta, Georgia lost 50 pounds by doing nothing more than taking pictures of his food. The process started after Jason saw a considerable weight gain once graduating college and getting an office job.
Though he'd always exercised and stayed active, Jason admitted he was filling up on the wrong kinds of foods, relying on whatever was "fast and easy." This led him to reach his highest weight of nearly 260 pounds.
But when he recognized his habits were causing a change in his energy levels, always leaving him feeling tired and moody, Jason knew it was time for a change. "I also wanted to make sure I could be active and live a long life with my kids," he said.
To lose the weight, Jason started taking pictures of everything he ate and then recording how he felt hours later. The act of taking pictures of his food spurred an "ah-ha" moment that led Jason to approach dieting differently. "One night I went back to keep snacking and kept taking pictures of everything and it clicked," he said. "I was eating so much food and from then on, it changed." (more…)

CARRERINO 13/M5F/T4 Ophthalmic Glasses
CARRERINO 13 is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. The CARRERINO 13 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Carrera collections 2015 and 2016.
CARRERINO 13 has been designed especially for children. It not only looks cool, it also has a solid and stable construction. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Black eyeglasses are a must-have. They can be combined with anything and refine any style. Whether at your desk, in a club or at a fashion show - black always fits. Black coloured lenses are a strong fashion statement. However, you can't see the real colours through these lenses. For a clearer view, it's best to go for grey or brown lenses. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
And we have kept the best for last: ordering immediately is worthwhile, because this top model is now in the sale! But only while stock lasts.

Mexican style Macaroni & Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is a very classic American dish. According to Wiki knowledge, macaroni and cheese was invented by Thomas Jefferson, who, in the variant told by Alton Brown of Good Eats, upon failing to receive an Italian pasta-making machine, designed his own machine, made the macaroni, and had the cook put liberal quantities of York cheddar and bake it as a casserole.
I had my first macaroni and cheese five years ago (during the initial days of getting to know US food), when one of my friend's aunt sent boxes of Kraft macaroni and cheese to make at home. I liked the concept of making a meal from a box and also the convenience of getting 2 boxes for 99 cents.
For a while I was under the impression that macaroni and cheese can be made only out of the box (silly me). That's when I watched Rachel Ray making mac & cheese from scratch and I realized that I have been eating chemicals all these days. Since then, I have been making mac & cheese at home and this is one of the variations I learnt from Queen of 30 minutes, Rachel Ray.
Mexican style Macaroni & Cheese
- Cook macaroni according to package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, make the two sauces:
- In a large sauté pan, heat 1tbsp olive oil and add onion, green pepper, red pepper and sauté till cooked. Add the chopped chipotle peppers with a little bit of sauce and tomatoes and cover cook for about 5-7 minutes on medium. Season with chili powder, salt and pepper, mix well. Turn off the heat and keep aside.
- In a separate medium size sauce pan, add butter and 2tbsp olive oil, when hot add the flour and sauté till the flour doesn't smell raw anymore. Add broth and milk whisk well and bring it to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add grated cheese and let it melt. Remove from heat.
- Finally combine cooked pasta, veggies and cheese sauce, mix well and serve hot.
You can add more veggies like broccoli, peas, zucchini etc.
Omit chipotle pepper and make it Indian style by adding a teaspoon of curry powder or garam masala.
Give it a smoky flavor by adding cumin powder and smoked cheddar cheese.

Mishpacha Magazine
Why does Israel forgive and forego debts — millions of dollars in debts — owed by the Palestinian Authority?
arlier this month, the Israeli government forgave a debt of NIS 2 billion, or $530 million, to the Palestinian Authority. The question is: why?
The enormous debt was the result of years of non-payment on electricity provided by Israel Electric Corporation. The Palestinian Authority had racked up the debt over ten years, during which the IEC had periodically shut off the electricity in Palestinian cities to press for payment. As part of the deal,Israel also agreed to transfer control of the electricity grid in Palestinian cities to the PA. But critics of the settlement are asking why the government would agree to such a financial windfall for a governing body that regularly incites against Israel, works to delegitimize the Jewish state in international bodies, and pays the wages of terrorists.
Eugene Kontorovich, a professor at Northwestern University School of Law, and an expert on international law, told Mishpacha there's no doubt the PA is obligated to pay its debt under the Oslo accords.
"There is no such thing as free electricity — either the Israeli taxpayers pay, or the Palestinian customers," he said, adding that it does not matter whether Judea and Samaria are considered occupied.
From a legal perspective, continued Kontorovich, this episode is "a microcosm of other agreements with the Palestinians when they don't do what they agreed to do."
"We also learn from this issue how a bigger potential agreement with the Palestinians, one that the international community is trying to force on Israel, would hold up."
But it is precisely international pressure that might have forced Israel's hand. The Israeli government may fear that the Palestinians and the international community would use the electricity shortage as a rallying point to claim a violation of human rights at the United Nations. Israel may also have wanted to improve the general economic climate in the territories to discourage further terror attacks.
Kontorovich sees the deal as a temporary stopgap that will set a precedent for the future. To put it succinctly: "The Israelis are being suckers, and the Palestinians are not."
Kontorovich notes that the Palestinians receive billions of dollars in aid, especially from Europe. At the same time, the PA is notoriously corrupt and uses at least part of its budget to pay stipends to terrorists and their families.
David Ha'ivri, a longtime political activist in the Jewish community in the Shomron, told Mishpacha that this issue is "disgraceful and again acknowledges that the PA is not to be expected to live up to the most basic standard of accountability."
"It is very discomfiting to learn that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu caved in to [Europe's] pressure and relieved the Palestinians of their debt to the electric company, a decision that will come out of the pocket of Israeli taxpayers," he said.As for transferring control of the power grid to the PA, Ha'ivri said Israel should not be giving the PA any more authority. Rather, it should be abolished altogether.

Author has written 2 stories for Naruto, and Death Note.
Well, hello there reader.
It has been a long while since I have been here on Fanfiction.net, the last time I updated my profile was two years ago... I wrote some stories but only finished one. I have decided to totally refresh my profile, delete the stories and make a new start. For the old readers, welcome back. For the new readers, welcome to my fresh and new profile and life here in the virtual world.
I refreshed my old username from The Ultimate Baka to My Twisted Fortune to Cheville to Lyethana. Don't ask me how I came up with that name. I am just creative.
For the new people, I'm going to introduce myself: I am Lyethana (not my real name... I am not revealing a lot of my personal stuff), I am 20 years old and from the Netherlands. I love anime, gaming, reading, writing and more things. As you already read above, I barely finish stories. I have difficulties with that so please, don't have high expectations of me. I have to say that I have gotten better at writing. But of course, there is always room for improvement. I have decided to re-write Deathly Choices and Death Note Issues. They are going to be here still for a while so if you want to read them, do it. That way you can also see my improvement when you read the remake :)
I'm not gonna make this long-ass profile like I used to do. If you want to ask something, just send me a message. If you want me to help you with your story, message me and I will give you my e-mail adress.
I hope you like my stories. Please review them, that would be great. If not... Then don't. Be a stalker :)
Yours sincerely,

Users report malfunctioning Apple TVs after update
Some Apple TV users are reporting that a recent software update is removing functionality from their set-top boxes. An Apple Support Communities thread with more than 28,000 views and 230 replies highlights the issues — a software update for the second-generation and third-generation Apple TVs is causing a number of reported problems. Some users can't connect to their network after the update, while others are losing functionality entirely, as the Apple TV displays a blinking light while the TV screen stays black. A number of users are downgrading their software to restore functionality. Apple TV software version 5.1 was released on Sept. 24; the support thread started on Sept. 25. [via Apple Insider]

Holding ASHA Certification offers increased opportunities for employment, mobility, career advancement, professional credibility, and more, because it is recognized by nearly every state's regulatory agency.
The Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) validates and provides assurance to consumers and clients; other health care professionals; and employers, state licensure boards, and third-party payers, that through participation in continuous professional development activities they can be confident certificate holders are keeping up with rapid changes in the professions' scopes of practice.
When you relocate to another state to practice, you will not be required to provide copies of test scores, academic degree, or supervised clinical experience.
ASHA certification verifies that you have met rigorous standards:
ASHA certification is voluntary. Employers, regulatory bodies, third party payers, clients and peers know that you have gone beyond the minimum requirement of state licensure. Clients and their families have the assurance that you have the knowledge, skills, and experience to provide high quality clinical services for them and their family members. Employers, clients, and peers know that you actively engage in ongoing professional development.

Becoming an American
July 17, 2007
RE KEN Milgrom's letter on reparations: I'm a descendant of folks from Ireland who were slaves to the British powers. And some of them there still live in poverty. So I'm thankful to be an American in a free country. I served in the Second World War and would do it again, were I to be called. I'm 82, and I know where my bread is buttered. America is a special gift. If anyone is unhappy here, they have the freedom to leave and go elsewhere. Perhaps that's what they need to do and view the whole world.
Bonds' media session irked owner
February 26, 2005
Daily News Wire Services
San Francisco Giants owner Peter Magowan wishes Barry Bonds had been less combative in his news conference earlier this week that dealt mostly with questions about steroids. Magowan wasn't in town for Bonds' annual session with the media Tuesday, but read about it while in Europe for a business meeting. "I would have said some things maybe a little differently," Magowan said yesterday, speaking in the dugout during a quick visit to the team's spring-training home in Scottsdale, Ariz.
LETTERS Kids react to Sept. 11
October 26, 2001
A number of children have written the paper to voice their feelings about the events of Sept. 11, and in response to a question the Daily News asked on personal rights and public security. Here is a sample of letters: I think that we shouldn't have to give up any rights. If our government has to give up some of our rights to be safe there is no point of being called the "Free Land. " The only reason we are the country we are today is because we set standards and those standards should stay because that's what makes us the United States of America!
Missing The Point On Events In Iraq
June 3, 2004
TO ALL those trying to find someone to blame for the recent events in Iraq: I do not condone what happened in Abu Ghraib prison, but I don't think that the U.S. should be apologizing to the terrorists who beheaded one of our citizens and dismembered and abused the bodies of American soldiers. And I don't think that we, as citizens of the U.S., should be pointing fingers at our government for this. Instead, we should be looking at the big picture. Our country was violated on 9/11.
Yo, Bill, If We're Not Free, Who Is? Maher Owes Apology For Blast At Usa
August 10, 2000
by William J. Lynott
As a guest on the Larry King show last Friday evening, comedian and talk-show host Bill Maher made an alarming declaration. Chiding Americans for allowing themselves to think that theirs is a free country, he stated emphatically, "This is NOT a free country. " His words were not offered in a humorous context; his tone was unmistakably sober. Listening along with millions of other Americans, I was struck with the irony dripping from every word of his acid commentary. There was Mr. Maher on national television, proclaiming that ours is not a free country - an act that would land him in prison, or worse, in any one of a number of other countries around the world.
Letters To The Editor Right To Know
May 20, 1986
The chief of the Central Intelligence Agency wasted no time in putting into practice his newly Reagan-given right to act against American citizens within our country. I watched in almost total disbelief as this normal-appearing gentleman tried to explain on nationwide television why his agency was going to take a few of our news services to court for making our people aware of certain actions of our government. I thought that as a citizen of a free country I was entitled to know what my elected government was doing.
Clarke Takes Firm Stand On Hextall
September 12, 1989
By Don McKee, Inquirer Staff Writer The Chicago Tribune contributed to this article
As the Flyers' veterans and rookies conducted their first combined workouts yesterday, the standoff between the team and its holdout goaltender, Ron Hextall, did not improve. General manager Bob Clarke made his first public statement on Hextall's contention that his contract was invalid, and Clarke offered little room for negotiation. Clarke said he had not spoken with Hextall's agent, Rich Winter of Edmonton. He also said he had no plans to do so, and, when questioners persisted, he added, "Why don't we get off this subject?"
No socialized medicine
July 13, 2007
LINDA HUNT Beckman's op-ed "Magic Moment for Health Care?" is an interesting piece of writing. She declares Michael Moore's "Sicko" to be "heartbreaking, funny" and very accurate in its assessment of this country's health-care problem, despite the fact that she also admits that she hadn't yet seen the film. Unfortunately, a reality check is needed. There is no free health care - we the taxpayers are the ones who foot the bill. If the "free health care" that other countries rave about is so marvelous, then why do they wait for months just to get a routine doctor's appointment?
LETTERS Drivers are the killers

Driving along the Boulevard the other day, I spotted yet another wreck. A police car and ambulance surrounded the smashed cars. When the yellow light at the corner turned red, a car sped through it and past the paramedics. Warning: Beware the Boulevard of Crazed Drivers! Jessica Beddis, Philadelphia Take that, conservatives!

Wing Bowl: There's a price to pay ... but why, exactly?
January 30, 2015
TO SOMEONE who grew up with three brothers who hit puberty within roughly 15 months of one another, the term "eating contest" means essentially the same thing as "dinner's ready. " Starting in 1975, when the first one hit double digits, and for a decade or so thereafter, the Flowers boys would compete to see who could stuff the most food in their mouths in the shortest period of time. Sometimes they even mastered the novel art of chewing before swallowing. As far as beverages, they were optional, but a carbonated soft drink was always helpful to clear the air, if you get my drift.
Cards' Stan Musial an all-timer
January 22, 2013
Daily News Wire Reports
ST. LOUIS - Had it been up to Stan Musial's father, St. Louis might have been denied its greatest Cardinal of all time, and baseball might have been denied perhaps its greatest ambassador. Stan the Man was a two-sport star growing up in Donora, Pa., and his Polish immigrant father, Lukasz, wanted him to go to the University of Pittsburgh on a basketball scholarship. Stan opted to sign with the Cardinals for $65 a month in 1938. "Lukasz," said Stan's mother, Mary, "why did you come to America?"

Letters: More surveillance? is this still a free country?
January 26, 2012
IN A RECENT article regarding the beating death of 23-year-old Kevin Kless, a Philadelphia police homicide investigator assigned to the case bemoaned a lack of surveillance cameras in Old City. "Maybe one of our governors or senators could put in quality recording devices in [Old City]," he said. "How about [U.S. Rep.] Bob Brady? Get some solid recording devices out there. That would be a big plus. " Installing public surveillance cameras and recording devices would be a "big plus"?
Mayor Nutter gearing up for a second chance
November 4, 2010
By CATHERINE LUCEY, firstname.lastname@example.com 215-854-4172
MAYOR NUTTER is still standing. After three years of making painful budget cuts, losing political battles with City Council and managing growing voter unrest, Nutter is coming to the end of his first term. And he says he's ready to run for re-election. "I love this job," Nutter said in a recent interview. "I very much enjoy being mayor and the decisions that go with it. The great thing about this job is that decisions that I make, you could literally see the impact tomorrow. " Nutter is heavily favored to win, even if he faces a spring primary opponent, but the coming months will undoubtedly serve as a referendum on a mayor who sailed into office amid massive expectations, but whom some residents now view as a letdown.
Free-ranging country fest Musical boundaries hardly get a hat tip at WXTU-sponsored show.
June 15, 2009
By Sam Adams FOR THE INQUIRER
A petite blonde with a mammoth voice, Kellie Pickler has often cited Dolly Parton as an inspiration, and she did so again on the stage of the Susquehanna Bank Center Saturday night. Invoking Parton's dirt-poor childhood in the Tennessee mountains - as well as, by implication, her own troubled family history - she drew a parallel between their hardscrabble origins and the authenticity of their music. "That's what I love about country music," she said. "It's real. " That the pronouncement was delivered by a singer who came to prominence on American Idol, and whose name, when it appears in the songwriting credits at all, is inevitably accompanied by a flotilla of hit doctors, speaks volumes about the state of country.

Readers share what they think it means to be safe, five years after 9/11. They have written about what has - or has not - been done to help the country reach such a point, and how they will know once America gets there. Carol J. O'Neill Philadelphia I vividly remember Sept. 11, 2001 - an amazing blue sky, cool temperatures, a great day to be alive. Then, one of my coworkers is saying a plane flew into the World Trade Center. How safe do I feel now, five years later? As safe as I felt before Sept.
Sensitivity in language has made us better
March 1, 2006
By Claude Lewis
Claude Lewis is a longtime Philadelphia journalist Quietly, almost imperceptibly, America's language is evolving, and we are better off for it. Except among some comedians, youthful African Americans, hip-hop performers and the uncouth crowd, the N-word has fallen sharply into disrepute. But it apparently is rather isolated within that culture. Yes, kids use it because the music does. But not long ago, this word had what seemed to be a permanent place in many vocabularies and libraries.
