What is the F.A.S.T.
Reading Program?
Stephan D. Tattum, director of the Denver Academy, initially created the F.A.S.T. Remedial Reading System, for middle and high school students. The F.A.S.T. System is a research based literacy intervention program that features a flexible and quick paced approach that is highly effective, as well as being surprisingly fun and engaging for struggling and dyslexic readers. It combines the best of systematic phonics and literacy-based instruction to create a streamlined, hands-on program that transfers immediately to the reading process.
The F.A.S.T. lesson delivers the phonetic component of reading using a multi-sensory approach: a magnet board and letters to build phonemic awareness and orthographic processing skills. The teacher says a sound and the student echoes the sound and points to all the possible spellings for that sound. The teacher points to a tile and the student reads the sound the tile represents. Students then learn to spell and read syllables and complete words using the magnet board.
Working on a magnet board makes it possible for many words and concepts to be taught and reviewed quickly. New concepts are introduced using the magnet tiles with minimal verbal instruction by the teacher. The tiles do the teaching. F.A.S.T teaches identification, blending, segmenting and manipulation of sounds. F.A.S.T. students understand the English language and its structure and gain access to the code and quickly transfer this to their reading.
The second half of the session is dedicated to reading from the level appropriate book that reinforces the skills that have just been taught and practiced. F.A.S.T. books are phonetically controlled reading materials that are age and interest appropriate.
F.A.S.T. stories are engaging and students love them. The stories have short, fast moving chapters with an abundance of picture support and an age appropriate format.
Students read words and phrases before each chapter. Reading for comprehension, pressure release reading, repeated readings and timed readings alternate within the reading portion of the lesson. The reading component ends with a written summary of the reading, reaction to the reading, or reflection about the reading. Reading becomes the most enjoyable part of the lesson for students.
Research (Shaywitz et al., 2004) has found that the back of the brain, the left occipital temporal and the parieto-temporal regions are not activated in struggling/dyslexic readers. The systems for reading are in place but they have never been properly activated. Activation of this area of the brain is crucial for successful reading. Because struggling readers read slowly, sound-by-sound, then word-by-word, this area of the brain is not activated; neural pathways are not connected properly. The F.A.S.T. Remedial Reading System includes fluency techniques, designed to activate and reorganize this area of the brain allowing the word forming area to develop.
During the initial intensive program parents and students agree to one hour of daily F.A.S.T. homework exercises in addition to the intensive instruction provided by the F.A.S.T. Instructor. This commitment contributes to the success of the program and the activation of theses brain regions.
"Susan Major was a student of mine in a F.A.S.T. reading workshop in early fall of 2011.
I was immediately impressed with her extensive background in reading and phonics, as well as her openness to new ideas. She asked the most questions of any one I have had in a workshop in 13 years and left with a deep understanding of the program. Since that first workshop, Susan has revisited the workshop on two occasions. I was amazed at her grasp of the concepts and the interesting twists she gave to the presentations. On her last visit, she was more of an instructor than a student. I have only had one other student in 13 years grasp the program as quickly as Susan.
Susan is already making miraculous changes in students. As founder of F.A.S.T. Reading, and learning disabilities specialist for 40 years, I recommend Susan without reservations as a tutor and a consultant. Feel free to call me about Susan's abilities."
Steve Tattum (303-520-7922)
Founder of FAST Reading (1998)
Denver Academy's Program Director (1973-2008)
"I am impressed with the dramatic gains in reading that my daughter has achieved since working with Susan Major and the F.A.S.T. Reading program. Susan makes learning fun, flexible, and fast paced. My nine year old, severely dyslexic daughter has finally become a reader. More importantly, she has increased confidence and sees herself as a reader. Her reading skills have improved six reading levels after working with Susan intensely for 4 weeks. This is incredible. As an elementary school teacher for 24 years, I am thrilled to find a program and a tutor that meets the individual needs of a child and systematically teaches a child to read."
Molly Crankshaw
"I am amazed by Susan Major's dedication! Using the F.A.S.T. Remedial Reading Program, Susan has helped my severely dyslexic student understand the reading process and make consistent and steady progress with her reading skills. As a 15 year Special Education
teaching veteran, I give my highest recommendation to Susan and the F.A.S.T. Remedial Reading Program!"
Jennifer Barnes
"When we first started working with Susan Major, my dyslexic son was not able to associate sounds to letters. He already considered himself a failure at the age of 6 and did not ever want to read. He hated reading and did not want anything to do with it. He was having behavioral problems at school and at home. After only two months of intensive tutoring with the F.A.S.T. program, he was reading above grade level. F.A.S.T. changed everything. He now loves to read and is enjoying going to school. F.A.S.T. intensive
instruction has worked miracles for my son."
Wendy Chapman

Port Gamble is in stitches
PORT GAMBLE — A new store in Port Gamble is putting North Kitsap in stitches. Quilted Strait, which was moved lock, stock and barrel from Port Angeles, opened last month in the converted Old Stables building in Port Gamble's business district.
Owner Kris Cornell said moving the store, named partly in honor of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to Port Gamble wasn't a difficult decision. The move puts her closer to her children and grandchildren, who live in Oregon. The space itself was the selling point.
"We have a really nice retail space and we still have all the flavor and charm of the old building," Cornell said.
The store is brimming at its seams with anything and everything a quilter would need to begin the hobby or finish a project. For that, it has developed a loyal following.
Avid quilter Nancy Lefcoski drove from Port Angeles Wednesday morning to root through quilting supplies, her friends Bonnie Davies and Dora Trotter in tow.
Though she has enough quilting things to last her if she lives to see 200, according to Davies, she continues to shop at Quilted Strait anyway.
"They have fantastic fabrics and they're nice to their customers," she said.
For Cornell, the quilting shop offers the best of both worlds.
"It's a great advantage because I run a business that allows me to be creative and play with colors," she said.
All quilters are welcome, from beginner to expert, Cornell said. Those who don't know a thimble from thumbtack can take quilting classes beginning May 8.

The spectacular array of natural attractions on KYŪSHŪ makes this, Japan's third-largest island, a feasible holiday destination on its own, providing a thrilling alternative to the regular Kanto and Kansai circuits. Here visitors can find themselves hiking the rim of the world's largest caldera, taking a lonesome onsen dip in the forest, surfing Japan's gnarliest waves, tracking down moss-coated cedar trees that predate Christianity or being showered with ash from a live volcano. It's perfectly possible to just scoot round the main cities in a week, but you'll need more like two to do the region justice, allowing time for the splendid mountainous interior and a few of the more far-flung islands.
Closer to Korea than Tokyo, Kyūshū has long had close links with the Asian mainland, and its chief city, Fukuoka, is an important regional hub. An energetic city on the island's heavily developed north coast, Fukuoka is worth a stop for its museums, modern architecture and vibrant nightlife. If you've only got a couple of days on Kyūshū, however, Nagasaki represents the best all-round destination. Though its prime draw is the A-Bomb museum and related sights, the city also has a picturesque harbour setting, a laidback, cosmopolitan air and a spattering of temples and historical museums. From here it's a short hop east to Kumamoto, famous for its castle and landscaped garden, and the spluttering, smouldering cone of Aso-san. This is great hiking country, while hot-spring enthusiasts will also be in their element – from Kurokawa Onsen's delightful rotemburo to the bawdy pleasures of Beppu on the east coast. The mountain village of Takachiho requires a fair detour, but it's worth it to see traditional dance performances depicting the antics of Japan's ancient gods. The island's southern districts contain more on the same theme – volcanoes, onsen and magnificent scenery. Highlights include Sakurajima, one of the world's most active volcanoes, which looms over the city of Kagoshima, while the lush island of Yakushima, roughly 100km south of Kyūshū, sports towering, thousand-year-old cedar trees.
Brief history
The ancient chronicles state that Emperor Jimmu, Japan's legendary first emperor, set out from southern Kyūshū to found the Japanese nation in 660 BC. Though the records are open to dispute, there's evidence of human habitation on Kyūshū from before the tenth century BC, and by the beginning of the Yayoi period (300 BC–300 AD) the small kingdom of Na (as it was then known) was trading with China and Korea. Local merchants brought rice-farming and bronze-making techniques back to Japan, while in the twelfth century monks introduced Zen Buddhism to northern Kyūshū. Less welcome visitors arrived in 1274 and 1281 during the Mongol invasions under Kublai Khan. The first ended in a narrow escape when the Mongols withdrew, and the shogun ordered a protective wall to be built around Hakata Bay. By 1281 the Japanese were far better prepared, but their real saviour was a typhoon, subsequently dubbed kami kaze, or "wind of the gods", which whipped up out of nowhere and scattered the Mongol fleet on the eve of their massed assault.
Three hundred years later, in 1543, the first Europeans to reach Japan pitched up on the island of Tanegashima, off southern Kyūshū. Finding an eager market for their guns among the local daimyō, the Portuguese sailors returned a few years later, bringing with them missionaries, among them the Jesuit priest Francis Xavier. Within fifty years the Catholic Church, now also represented by Spanish Franciscans and Dominicans, was claiming some 600,000 Christian converts. The centre of activity was Nagasaki, where Chinese, Dutch and British merchants swelled the throng. In the early 1600s, however, the government grew increasingly wary of the Europeans in general and Christians in particular. By fits and starts successive shoguns stamped down on the religion and restricted the movement of all foreigners, until eventually only two small communities of Dutch and Chinese merchants were left in Nagasaki.
This period of isolation lasted until the mid-1850s, when Nagasaki and Kagoshima in particular found themselves at the forefront of the modernizing revolution that swept Japan after the Meiji Restoration. Indeed, it was the armies of the Satsuma and Chōshū clans, both from Kyūshū, which helped restore the emperor to the throne, and many members of the new government hailed from the island. In 1877, however, Kagoshima's Saigō Takamori led a revolt against the Meiji government in what became known as the Satsuma Rebellion. Saigō's army was routed, but he's still something of a local hero in Kyūshū.

June 21, 2012 (Chicago, IL) – Camping World, the nation's largest RV and outdoor retailer, today announced that it is set to reach a new milestone in the company's history opening its 100th RV superstore in the next several months.
"More than 46 years ago, Camping World opened its very first storefront location in Bowling Green, KY, and to announce today's milestone of projections to open our 100th store testifies to the continued, power of our brand, strength of the team and the loyalty of customers; which are all leading forces behind the growth of our business," said Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam.
The 100th store opening is indicative of Camping World's disciplined and strategic growth strategy, in which the retailer continues to successfully grow the business and define itself as the clear leader in the RV and outdoor industry based on aggregate revenue, growth and market share.
Camping World along with its sister company Good Sam currently employs approximately 5,000 associates and is the largest workforce in the Outdoor and RV Industries operating locations in 33 states.
"As cliché as this sounds, I feel 100% confident to say that outside of our strong and loyal customer base, we've been blessed with the best associates in the industry, and they are the reason for our level of success," said Lemonis.
"Roger Nuttall and Johnny Sirpilla, both 20 plus year industry veterans have led our charge in the success and growth in our Dealership and Retail business respectively," continued Lemonis. "These two unit Presidents have focused on fundamentals while taking the lead installing progressive processes and products."
The Good Sam Club is the world's largest organization of recreational vehicle (RV) owners and with their growth approaching 1.5 million members nationwide, the company feels the need to have a vast network of RV dealerships and retail stores to serve the RV community's needs is essential .
"In my 26 years with Camping World it has been my vision to see the company flourish as it has," said Mike Siemens, President of the Good Sam Club. "As our club continues to grow towards the 1.5 million member milestone, our members are looking for better convenience and more value and it is our goal to deliver that."
The Good Sam Club offers RVers the resources to make the most of the RV lifestyle, including significant savings on RV campgrounds, insurance, roadside assistance and extended service contracts.
"Our growth in the number of Good Sam Roadside Assistance and Extended Service Contract base has raised the expectations of our customers and they deserve an extensive network to service and repair their RV while enjoying the use of their trailer or coach," remarked Lemonis.
Camping World announces new stores coming in the following markets.
Cocoa Beach, FL - summer 2012
Nashville, TN- open late summer 2012
Spokane, WA- late summer 2012
Fresno, CA- January 2013
Spring, TX (North Houston) - summer 2013
Erie, PA - spring 2013
Tucson, AZ - spring 2013
Harrisburg, PA - summer 2013
Fort Pierce, FL - fall 2013
Wentzville, MO (St. Louis) - summer 2013
Clearwater, FL - fall 2013
Ocala, FL - late fall 2012
Denton, TX - spring 2013
The company has targeted about a dozen additional markets that will be announced soon and is in the final stages of acquiring them.
"It's great to work for a company that values creativity and personality. The atmosphere here is upbeat and extremely respectful of everyone's hard work and lasting connections we make with our customers."

The plywood patch job on the façade will probably be replaced by the end of the week, and the store will resume its usual appearance, said owner Ralph Celebre.
Because this is the second time a vehicle has hit the building, "I'm taking steps to have concrete bollards installed so this can't happen again," he said. Bollards are protective uprights that are widely used to deter terrorist attacks, but they work just as well to stop vehicles that are accidentally out of control.
The SUV smashed through the sliding glass doors dragging a 300-pound concrete planter, hit the back of the vestibule and pushed a shelf unit four or five feet ahead of it, Celebre said. "Thank God nobody was hurt." Normally there would have been two people working in the area impacted by the Jeep SUV at about 2 p.m., but they were taking a late lunch. The driver, his passenger and the dog in the car all escaped injury, too.
The store, which is at 276 Route 202-31 in the Flemington Circle Shopping Center, sustained no structural damage, so township officials allowed it to reopen on Sunday morning albeit in a slightly disfigured condition.

Four years after winning eight Olympic cycling gold medals, seven of them on the track, Britain have taken road racing by storm with Bradley Wiggins claiming the Tour de France in a British one-two ahead of Chris Froome.
On Saturday, world champion Mark Cavendish, backed by what Team GB riders hail as the "best British Olympic road race ever assembled", will be the favourite for the Olympic road race on the 250km course starting from The Mall in London.
Four of the five riders in Team GB won a stage on the Tour de France this year, including Cavendish taking the last two sprint stages by decimating his rivals.
Wiggins, Cavendish, David Millar and team principal David Brailsford, who oversaw Team Sky's Tour campaign, took time out from their preparations at Foxhills, a quiet countryside retreat in Surrey, to talk to Eurosport about the events of the past month and what lies ahead in London.

Springhill to decide on service before next budget
SPRINGHILL – The dust is starting to kick up on social media and the fate of Springhill's police force is the focus.
© Christopher Gooding - The Citizen-Record
Springhill police
A largely pro-police website with more than 500 members is getting much attention on the social website Facebook, but offline Springhill's Mayor and the policing review committee members continue to meet with the town operated service and R.C.M.P. while a decision looms.
"Right at the moment we've gotten modules from the police department and the R.C.M.P.," Springhill Mayor Max Snow said.
While an invitation was extended to Amherst Police, it went unanswered so the committee is now weighing the existing service and R.C.M.P. could offer, including what type of coverage would be provided, staffing, location and cost.
"That's the stuff we're looking at, We won't release anything this week, but we're going to have a look at these and really soon an announcement is going to happen. In the next few weeks I suspect," Snow said. "It's not going to be another year. It's going to be real soon."
A lot of weight is being given to making a decision sooner than later ahead of the town's next fiscal budget, Snow said, to be fair to the members Springhill Police Service. Since the review was called last year, it would be unfair to leave the department in uncertainty any longer than they already have.
In February 2013, the town called for the policing review, just a month after signing a retroactive contract with the department and a few weeks away from entering negotiations on the next contract. At that time, Mayor Snow said the newly formed policing review committee was not a reflection on the department's service, but the cost of the department. A salary increase of 18.5 per cent in the last contract, Snow said in 2013, was unaffordable and talk of raising taxes had taken place.
The cost of policing in Springhill in 2012 and 2013 represented between 22 and 23 per cent of the town's operating budget. In 2012, the town was operating on a $6.6 million budget, while in 2013 that increased to $6.9 million.

US Church: North Korean aggression caused by God because of 'gay marriage and gay scouts'

If the actions of North Korea are so much in line with the will of Fred Luter's god, then Fred Luter can migrate over there and renounce his citizenship, rather than annoying everyine with demands for America to turn into a theocracy.
Stupid fool.
Has a minority got so much power? Well I hope Richard Dawkins can help god I worship him and I'm gay and an atheist strange rant not making much sence nor do people who rant on about god talking to something that never existed, that's just mad.
this is all the same kind of feces of the mouth from the right wing xtians. Virtually every (potential) disaster is caused by gays.
Crazy is as crazy does and thats right wing xtianity
Why do a couple billion people follow this kult –
Because if you tell lies often enough and outrageous enough they will be seen as the truth.
By fools who are separated from their money by the leaders of the wests version of Islam
It has nothing to do with gays. Its about God and his promises. If anyone group of people is to be blamed it would be the remaining Christians of this once Christain nation. We have failed to follow His ways, we have failed to teach our children to follow His ways. We were given the free will to choose our lifestyle, much like a man that gives his wife freedom to do as she pleases and she chooses another man, we did not choose to serve God but chose to serve ourselves. So many of our children do not have a clue about God. This is our shame and prophesy will be fulfilled.
Oh look, another one of the whole let's blame the gays for everything that's going on in the world. Obviously just a blatant dismissal of the facts and creating some wild conservative theory. Anybody else getting a little bit fed up of this now?
I was taking bets with myself as to which bunch of loons was going to start THAT one. Sadly I was right as well. Bloody idiots
Well, that has got to be the biggest load of horses apples I have heard. It even beats being blamed for the tsunami and earthquakes.
"The last time a nation did that [allowed same-sex marriage] they were destroyed, Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. I just see things getting consistently worse in America because of our decisions that we've made to just get farther and farther away from God and God's word."
Really? Sweden was destroyed? When? And Spain and Argentina? Canada? How did I not hear about this?
Specially the prosperous and developed social democracy that Sweden, along with other Scandinavian countries, is. If the United States is becoming like the "socialist, homosexual, anti-God, anti-biblical morality cesspool" that he claims then I want some of that morality cesspool for my country too !!
Of course this cums from the same religious culture that made America the second to last in the west to end slavery and the only one to need a war to do so.
Then these sad pieces of garbage gave us segregation for another hundred years
OH, and don't forget South Africa (One of the FIRST countries to give Gays EQUAL RIGHTS and to Marry!!
I wonder if the US Southern Baptist Convention has ever come across the time-honoured saying: "Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad"? I guess not.
God didn't seem to know of the existence of America when Sodom and Gomorrah was written, That's because the whole bible was written by man and God doesn't exist. Americans don't worry about your relationship with God as you have never had one It's just a one-sided delusion on your part.
If so, then his god is a deranged twat.
Yup! Their book even confirms he is a deranged twat… in several places in the bible, god kills people for fun / to demonstrate his power / for no reason / because someone ordered a census.
This god fella needs locking up ;)
The President of the US Southern Baptist Convention has serious mental health issues and needs help.
Most baffling is how such an absurd story makes its way into being published. The only connection between Kim Jong Un and Gays is that he is in serious need of a really good blow job. I think his fascination with missiles says it all.
Lol, is this today's light relief?
The gay press should carry articles about God's anger with countries filled with church-going hypocrites. It is usually the USA's bible belt that is ravaged by tornadoes and hurricanes. Surely there is a connection there? And if God is using the North Koreans to carry out His vengeance, then the North Koreans must be doing something right. The ancient Jews were chosen to destroy the Canaanites and take over their land as a mark of God's favour. The same thing must be inspiring the North Koreans. Perhaps they exchanged communism for South Koren style Christianity when no one was looking.
I've never heard anything so preposterous in my whole life – why do Americans alow this and not just section himand put himm in a psychiatric unit where he obviously belongs
Your comment reminded me of this quote:
"When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called a Religion."
Seriously, some of these fundies DO seem in need of psychiatric help.
Shame on those close to this loon, for letting him exhibit his madness and thus provoke derision and mocking from the rest of humankind.
Surely his God should be able to come up with something better such as a plague of locusts perhaps?
Funny that you mention a plague of locusts, Lee. It has been announced lately in the news that Madagascar has been experiencing devastating swarms of locusts and are already described as the worst locust infestations since the 1950s, which by Fred Luter's logic is clearly a demonstration of God's wrath over the African nation due to their wide support of gay marriage and gay rights.
What an imbecile! Gee my toilet overflowed. It must be the gays.
No, that was caused by the transexuals…
Didn't you know that all the World's evils are caused, on a sliding scale, by the LGBTQ community!
Total World disasters is gay men's fault.
Major World disasters is the fault of lesbians.
Minor World disasters that's down to the bi-sexuals.
Household disasters are the fault of the transexuals.
OH! Lost mail and your newspapers not being delivered are totally the fault of the questioning youth….
Damn !! Only minor world and household disasters for bisexuals and transgenders like me ? What about being both at the same time ? Can't I get the power to provoke half-minor world disasters, like a quick-not-too-severe flooding in India, a mild-not-too-harsh drought in Ethiopia or a meteor shower in the middle of the Australian desert ? I demand my rights to also having divine powers !!
They have a problem with Bisexuals because we can reproduce AND be sodomites at the same time! I guess they sort of cancel each other out.
And in my case also with transexuals because we can get into same-sex relationships and still reproduce on our own.
When men and women such as Luter speak, they're not as crazy as it would first seem. Their first goal is to garner as much attention as possible, regardless of how outlandish and bizarre their lies. Once they have gullible people's attention, and consequently feed into the many paranoia that are rife among the uneducated, the superstitious, and the mentally unbalanced, then creatures such as Luter not only wield power over the hysterical masses, but use those same feebleminded unthinking sheep as their personal cash machine.
It's ALWAYS about the money. This con game has been around for millennia, and as long as people refuse to think for themselves, the game and the gamers will thrive.
The "house" never looses.
So true, Ramon. I can't help having a picture in my mind of meetings amongst the governing bodies of the fundie mega-churches. Instead of ending such with a heartfelt "Amen", I imagine them ending with a fist-pump and a hearty, "Cha-CHING!"
Sometimes I feel like we LGBT people are gods and we don't know, we are always responsible for hurricanes, earthquakes, floodings, wars, financial crisis and everything within the Armageddon spectrum. I think it is already time we started to use our powers for the good, like transforming into swans and bulls to seduce young girls and boys.
The Lord certainly works in mysterious ways!
Is this guy on CRACK or what? I've met cocaine addicts that have made more rational arguments after a 4 day spree! "See that crack in my ceiling? That was done by MI6! Their alien slaves from the planet Froquon did it! They think I'm MAD you know!!"
Well, we know Kim Jong-Un is in favour of Same Sex Marriage. Perhaps there's a connection.
As usual with these religious zealots, everything that happens in this world is because of LGBT people…..never mind that primitive man used to believe that everything, including weather and all other natural occurrences were the result of of one god or another being pleased or displeased. Silly superstition! In Africa people still believe that crop failure or livestock sickness is caused by children who are witches and so many children are murdered over this insane "belief" just as our kkkristian 'enemies' believe irrational, superstitious rubbish. They do not believe in Evolution and so their minds do not evolve….
"Did you ever notice how people that believe in Creationism look really UN-Evolved?….. 'I believe God made me in one day!'; yeah, it looks like he rushed it!" – Bill Hicks
Stupid, ignorant, anti-Christ, hate filled man. To be ignored.
Jerry Springer clearly was not a muck raker. But a true journalist turning a mirror to our nation.
I love America. It is entertaining.
A madhouse is always entertaining.
Oh gud lordy!!
What a ridiculous statement to make.
The real reason for the world's instability is purely in the hands of people like Fred Luter and his chosen religion. They clearly crave wars to promote their own power due. It all due to the fact religion cannot control all in society.
When will ordinary people start to read stuff like this and just say, "an obvious mental health issue".
It is staggering how much insanity people can get away with just by standing behind a shield of religion.
Oh for crying out loud!! It seems there are crackpots all over the planet, he really needs to keep taking the medication.
"The last time a nation did that [allowed same-sex marriage] they were destroyed, Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed."
Sodom and Gomorrah most probably didn't allow this type of marriage and certainly would not have been the last one to do so. As we surely know from written sources, same-sex marriage was allowed much later – in Western Roman Empire, but it collapsed after they proclaimed christianity as their official religion, outlawed homosexuality and their marriages and made them punishable by death.
They keep using this sodom and Gomorrah story to blame us for everything. The thing is, in their story, god punished the actual place that was doing wrong. Has god become a bad shot over the years? Could they explain that one for me.
If this is the case, why hasn't NK attacked Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and Denmark? They already allow gay marriage
More fodder for C4M's spokeswoman Sharon James et al. She's just as bad as Luter. I'm surprised she's not rushed to his defence.
I'm an atheist, but let's forget that for a second. Say there's a god and he wants to punish us for gay marriage and all those shenanigans. NORTH KOREA? Really, that's the best country you can find to attack us? The country that boasts all day and night about nuclear war on the west but can't successfully launch a rocket? If this god is either that weak or that much of a dipshit, I think we're fine to keep pissing him off. This is comparable to a would-be mass murderer assaulting a school with nerf weapons.
What a bunch of bull. You could make the same argument about the shortage of bananas, or gun control in America. North Korea coming after America because of gay rights? Come on…North Korea has a lot of reasons to be enemies with America, but trying to blame it on gays is just a way for uptight, conservative, christians/catholics who take take religion too FAR to spout more of their bullshit against the millions of things they're too ignorant to accept as natural.
Oh myyy! We gays have that much power, do we? Well then, these wacko religious fundamentalists had better watch themselves, for if we turn that power on them, they'll all be wearing pink chiffon and sequin platform sneakers, to differentiate them from the normal people, which I might add, we are. Sound ridiculous? Not one tenth as much as their idiotic blathering.
Maybe there is a god, but the Korean response is the other way around.
God is sitting in her great rockingchair in the sky, knitting new wings for her many angels. Finally, the USA is considering the equal marriage, to catch up to many other leading-edge countries.
Unfortunately, some dumb-a$$ religious nuts start to get in the way. God(dess) has just about had it with those idiots in the USA who continue to get in the way of justice, so she whispers into the ears of the North Koreans, "Nuke the bastards! They've been nothing but trouble – calling themselves christian, but being so full of hate. Time to start over."
Loving twitter #blamegays
I'm pretty sure it's because North Korea is a shortbus nation-state with Eric Cartman for a leader…
"The last time a nation did that [allowed same-sex marriage] they were destroyed…"
Um…I believe the last time a nation allowed same-sex marriage was Mexico, back in February. Why isn't N. Korea going after them??
I'm not that surprised that some stupid moron church would have made that link. Just disappointing that my prophecy was so accurate. And Sodom and Gomorrah is back again. Frankly those idiots should not allow to read the Bible without being schooled how to read it. But idiots will always flourish it seems.
I hate to use vulgar language with such good Christian folk but you Southern Baptist's are really F**CKED UP!
It would be the remaining Christians of this once Christian nation that are to blame if anyone group of people is to blame. We have failed to teach our children to follow His ways. We have failed to follow His ways. Much like a man that gives his wife freedom to do as she pleases and she chooses another man, we have chosen to serve ourselves instead of serving God.

To the Editor:
I was excited to hear of UnitedHealth's plan to keep elements of the Affordable Care Act, like allowing for young adults up to 26 to stay on their parent's health care plans, no matter what the ruling is by the Supreme Court.
Many young adults, including myself, have benefited from this provision.
By keeping this provision, it will continue to allow for 68,816 young adults, just in the state of New Jersey alone, to be covered through some of the most stressful and difficult times in one's life, like trying to wade the waters of becoming an independent adult.
While this will allow for more Americans to be covered during a time when many cannot afford such necessities like health insurance, there's still more work to be done in New Jersey.
New Jersey still has 1.3 million people uninsured, which is only costing the insured more in higher costs and premiums.
Gov. Christie, the insurance companies and our state legislatures need to implement something like the health care exchange, which would insure the uninsured and bring down costs to levels that are affordable for all of New Jersey's citizens.

Jacob Sullum @ Reason:
The day of Adam Lanza's murderous assault on Sandy Hook Elementary School, Mike Rogers said stricter gun control would not be an appropriate response. "The more realistic discussion," said the Republican congressman from Michigan, "is how do we target people with mental illness who use firearms?"
Last week another Republican congressman, Howard Coble of North Carolina, agreed that "it's more of a mental health problem than a gun problem right now." And last Friday, when the National Rifle Association broke its silence on the Sandy Hook massacre, the group's executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, called for "an active national database of the mentally ill."
Psychiatrically informed policies aimed at controlling people rather than weapons are popular in the wake of mass shootings, especially among those who rightly worry that gun restrictions will unfairly burden law-abiding Americans while failing to prevent future attacks. Yet treating gun violence as "a mental health problem" presents similar dangers.
An "active national database of the mentally ill" clearly would not have stopped Lanza, who used guns legally purchased by his mother. Even if he had bought the guns himself, it appears he would have passed a background check because he did not meet the criteria for rejection.
Federal law prohibits gun ownership by anyone who "has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution." Neither seems to have been the case with Lanza.
Acquaintances reported that Lanza might have had Asperger syndrome. That label, which soon won't even count as a mental disorder anymore, is not much more informative than saying he was a shy, socially inept loner (which people who knew him also said).

EDITORIAL: Farm proposal rejection logical
The Port of Coupeville commissioners did the logical thing last week in rejecting the idea of asking property owners to pay for acquisition of the 33-acre Krueger Farm property within the Coupeville town limits.
The proposal was not thoroughly thought out by its proponents, and as a result there was no clear economic benefit resulting from the Ports involvement. As the Ports primary goal is to boost the local economy, the commissioners did the right thing in deciding not to send a bond proposal to the voters.
This does not mean the effort to save Krueger Farm is not a worthy one. Supporters see a future park with an economic element boosting local agricultural producers. Friends of Krueger Farm has raised $350,000 toward the project, with an additional $200,000 needed by the December deadline to acquire the property.
The Friends group suffered another loss last week with the untimely and tragic death of Sally Hayton-Keeva to cancer. She was the sparkplug behind the save-the-farm effort, and her involvement will be sorely missed for this and other community projects on Central Whidbey. Perhaps her memory alone will be enough to save the farm. What better tribute for an outstanding community leader?

AMHERST - In the fall of 2009, University of Massachusetts men's basketball coach Derek Kellogg welcomed five freshmen, all of which are expected to play contributing roles now.
That list does not include his two primary low-post players, his leading scorer, his two pure point guards and a new player, Jesse Morgan, who became eligible last week.
The task facing Kellogg is one of sorting out a rotation where the problem is not a shortage of players, but perhaps too many.
"I would like a little separation between guys. Right now, there's not a lot of separation between the fourth guy and the ninth,'' he said Monday.
UMass takes a 7-4 record, but a four-game losing streak, into Friday afternoon's home game against Boston University (5-7). Kellogg had hoped to have his players back on campus Sunday night, but blizzard conditions will delay some until Tuesday at the earliest.
When they reconvene, he will check on the health of guards Javorn Farrell (ankle sprain) and Gary Correia (stomach problem).
"I talked to both of them, and they were both a little better. But we won't know for sure until much later in the week,'' Kellogg said.
Correia missed last week's 64-59 loss to Central Florida. Farrell is playing in discomfort, which helps explain his 1-for-17 shooting in the last two games.
The only other point guard is Daryl Traynham, a freshman. Anthony Gurley is leading the offense, with Sean Carter and Hashim Bailey sharing time in the low post.
Sophomores Terrell Vinson, Freddie Riley and Sampson Carter are all vying for minutes. Redshirt freshman Raphiael Putney joined the mix against Central Florida, playing his best game and getting his first taste of crunch time.
That game also saw the debut of Morgan, who played four minutes. All of these players have shown the capacity to contribute in various ways except Morgan, who is highly touted and only now getting his chance.
What remains unproven is which players can consistently contribute more than others. With two games left before Atlantic 10 play begins, the delegation of minutes is a delicate task.
"Some of it about who we're playing. Some of it is about how each guy is playing,'' Kellogg said.
"Now we have a new player being inserted (Morgan), and another new guy starting to play well (Putney). And a lot of guys are at the junctures where they want to prove themselves, and we want to give them the chance.''
Most teams rely on rotations of eight or nine players. Among UMass players, Gurley is playing 33 minutes a game, but four others are between 22 and 27, and five more between 10 and 19.
Even forward Matt Hill, the presumed 12th man, is averaging 10.6 minutes. The crunch for minutes will increase as Putney (7.6) gets more time and Morgan is eased into the rotation.
Farrell is averaging 22 minutes. That could rise, too, if he ever gets healthy.
With all these players in, who's out? Kellogg does not think that way, but he is examining whether some players are being under-utilized, in the name of utilizing them all.
"I do think we can go 10 or 11 deep, but some guys are not getting a ton of minutes,'' he said.
"It's a new challenge for me. Not the worst challenge, but a new one.''

I've been thinking about this (like I do ) and I wondered why its recommended that you drive off boost for 5 minutes or let the car idle for 30 seconds if you have been thrashing it?
I know its because if the oil is hot and you don't let it cool then it will cook to the insides of the turbo pipes and other parts and slowley block them up.
However at what temperature does this happen? Surley waiting 30 seconds on your driveway or even driving off boost for 5 or 10 minutes, the oil will still be at 90 degrees or higher.

On southwest Michigan rivers, where Great Lakes sturgeon are migrating upstream, that's a big concern. Sturgeon are protected species in Michigan. They are listed as "threatened." It is illegal to keep them on most Michigan waters.
But it also is not unusual to hear of anglers inadvertently hooking one. Most anglers know to release them as gently and quickly as possible. Those who don't sometimes go to jail.
You might recall a Grand Rapids angler was prosecuted last year after hooking and keeping a sturgeon he caught on the Grand River at the Fourth Street Dam. He walked away with the fish despite the protests and warnings shouted at him by onlookers and other anglers at the river that day.
Poaching a sturgeon is punishable by 30 to 180 days in jail, fines from $500 to $2,000, court costs and $1,500 restitution to the state.
The Grand Rapids angler was jailed for 30 days and sentenced to $2,298 in fines, costs and restitution and 50 hours of public service work with the DNR fisheries division in lieu of 20 more days in jail.
The Grand River, Muskegon River and Kalamazoo River have mature adult sturgeon populations that spawn in them. Sturgeon -- often referred to as the dinosaur of fish -- can live to be 100 years old.
Their threatened status is because of overfishing in the 1800s and a steady loss of habitat in the 1900s as Michigan rivers were dammed, preventing sturgeon from getting to historic spawning grounds.
The sturgeon's tenuous condition also stems from their long life span and being slow to mature. Male sturgeon don't spawn until they are 15 to 20 years old, while females do not mature sexually until they are 20 to 25 years old. Even then, the females spawn only every four years, while males will spawn every other year.
"It looks like a lot of the fish are happily moving upstream," said Kregg Smith, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment biologist in charge of sturgeon research and recovery. "We get concerned that harassment can result in less reproductive success."
By harassment, Smith means excess handling time if caught accidentally. The impact of poaching is obvious. That's why conservation officers have been assigned to patrol southwest Michigan rivers specifically looking for sturgeon violations.
Volunteers with the Kalamazoo chapter of Sturgeon for Tomorrow also are posting themselves at the Allegan dam and along the Kalamazoo River, handing out literature and advising anglers about the spawning sturgeon population there.
"We have population of about 30 sturgeon on the Kalamazoo River," said Susan Dixon of Sturgeon for Tomorrow. "The Allegan dam is the target zone that we will be guarding. That's where the most people congregate and the sturgeon are stopped by the dam."
Spring also is the time Smith and his crew go out at night and set drift nets on the rivers trying to count baby sturgeon to see how the populations are faring.
"We're seeing lower numbers than average this year. We're not collecting as many as other years, but the weather has also been tricky," Smith said. "One week, it's 80 degrees. The next week, it is 40 degrees."
Historically, surveys show between 25 and 100 sturgeon spawn in the Muskegon River. Smith said it is a small but viable, naturally sustaining population.
Follow Howard Meyerson at twitter.com/HMeyerson
He estimated that a population of 50 to 75 adult sturgeon come to the Grand River during their spawning cycles.
Given how rare sturgeon are in these waters, anyone who sees one can consider themselves lucky. If you hook a sturgeon this spring, do it and the rest of us a favor, handle it gently, take a quick photo and quickly let it go.

The Florida quarterback has accepted an invitation to play for the South in the Jan. 30 Senior Bowl at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
With a Heisman Trophy and a pair of SEC and national titles on his resume, Tebow likely will be one of the most decorated players ever to participate in the game.
Word of his decision spread quickly Saturday afternoon.
"It's been crazy today," Senior Bowl public relations director Kevin McDermond said. "Our ticket phones have been lighting up. Tim's just that type of guy. I talked to him, and he's fired up about coming."
Tebow is only the seventh Heisman winner to play in the Senior Bowl. The last was Ohio State's Troy Smith in 2007.
Tebow is the first quarterback officially announced for this year's game, though Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour said last week that he also would be playing.
"Tim is quite possibly the best college player in the history of the sport," Senior Bowl president and CEO Steve Hale said in a press release.
"More important than that, he's an incredible person.
"When I met with Tim and his family, it became very clear why he is so successful. He has a tremendous support system, and we are excited he'll be bringing his talents to Mobile."
During his Florida career, Tebow threw for 8,803 yards and 85 touchdowns and rushed for 2,947 yards and 57 touchdowns. He is the only player in NCAA history to run and pass for more than 20 TDs each in a single season (2007).
In addition to his Heisman Trophy, Tebow won two Maxwell Awards (2007, 2008), a Davey O'Brien Award (2007) and a Manning Award (2008).
He comes to Mobile after one of the most successful games of his career. In a Sugar Bowl win over previously undefeated Cincinnati on New Year's Day, Tebow completed 31 of his 35 passes for 482 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 51 yards and another score on his way to winning the most outstanding player award.
At one point, he completed 12 straight passes.
"I'm very excited," Tebow said of playing in the Senior Bowl. "It's something where I get an opportunity to play with a lot of great players and get coached by a lot of great coaches in the NFL. It's an opportunity to work in an NFL system and do things that a lot of people haven't seen me do like go under center and take the drops and be in a pro style system."
Despite all of Tebow's college accomplishments, some still doubt whether he can be a quarterback on the next level and wonder just how high a draft choice he could be.
ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper ranks Tebow second among college senior quarterbacks in the draft behind only Texas' Colt McCoy. LeFevour is third on the list.
Tebow said former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy told him the Senior Bowl was a good opportunity to build relationships that will last a lifetime. He also said his conversation with Hale got him excited about the chance to show his skills in the Senior Bowl.
"One of my reasons to play was because I love competing and I love what it takes to be a football player," he said. "There are a lot of things in training that you do, but you are not playing football.
"This (the Senior Bowl) is the only thing where you are playing football and showing football skills. That's why I think it's very important."
Tebow said he's looking forward to learning from Dolphins' coach Tony Sparano. Sparano and his staff will coach the South team during Senior Bowl week.
The Senior Bowl will kick off at 3 p.m. and be televised by the NFL Network.
Tickets are available at the Senior Bowl ticket offices (151 Dauphin Street and inside Bel Air Mall), select Regions Bank locations, online at seniorbowl.com or by calling 251-432-4109.

Supreme Court justices should
not serve life terms
To the Editor:
I find it hard to believe that Elana Kagan was appointed a Supreme Court judge with no experience in this field. I realize that is not a requirement for this position, yet feel it should be.
I also question the fact that Supreme Court judges are appointed for life terms. It seems quite a contradiction, as our presidents cannot serve more than two terms. I believe unlimited terms ended with Franklin D. Roosevelt when he had been elected to four terms.
It truly seems that judges of our highest court should also have limits to the length of term they can serve. It seems that it would then give the country opportunity to have more persons with different opinions on a regular basis, since many of these judges have made decisions on the basis of how they interpret the Constitution of the United States.
Also, it would give different presidents opportunities to appoint judges to this high court. If changes could be made regarding the term limit of our presidents, I believe there could be change made in this area.
It seems to me that our Constitution states that this country was established as a democracy of the people, by the people and for the people. In so many cases judges have been able to overrule the wishes of the people even on issues that have gone before the people in the voting booths where the people truly disagree with the judges decisions.

Character and competence more important than religious identity
To the Editor:
I read Stewart L. Weisman's concerns about the religious makeup of the Supreme Court with interest (letter, Aug. 10). I should self-identify as a member of the 51 percent majority he is so concerned about protecting.
I wonder if he submitted a similar letter back when the court was all men despite women being 51 percent of the U.S. population? Would he be similarly concerned about a majority of left-handedness on the court, or an uncommon blood type? Previous courts had a majority of Episcopalians, a fairly small Protestant denomination. Did he complain about that?
Let's consider the character and competence of our justices and not just fixate on a single characteristic of their background.

TRAVERSE CITY – The Detroit Red Wings' second line has gotten off to a slow start in training camp, but Johan Franzen said don't worry about it.
"It'll be better when we start playing games,'' Franzen said. "All we've had is practices right now.''
The line is centered by Stephen Weiss, with Daniel Alfredsson at right wing. They are highly skilled and accomplished players who have spent their entire career with one organization.
Coach Mike Babcock said after Sunday's Red and White scrimmage that the line has to play better than it has, without offering specific concerns. He suggested that he might make changes.
But the line will play at least one preseason game together, likely Tuesday at Chicago.
"We've come along every day,'' Franzen, the unit's left wing, said. "First day it was a little new for everyone. We didn't know the drills out there. That's going to happen. All the veterans are used to the practices. I tried to make sure they knew what to do, so I forgot about myself.
"We're playing power play together, so that's looking pretty good. It's going to get better every day.''
The unit has gone up against the top line of Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader in two of its three scrimmages and hasn't fared well.
"It's a lot more fun playing against other teams,'' Franzen said. "That's the worst thing I know is playing against teammates. You can't really go full-out, so that's tough.
"We have to start playing games to see what we're missing and what we need to work on. I know you guys think these are games out here, but they're not.''
Franzen is confident that he, Alfredsson and Weiss will gel.
"They're good, smart guys with good hands,'' Franzen said. "We'll figure it out quick.''
He added, "Training camp is to get your body and legs going. That's all I'm focused on right now. I feel pretty good.''
Helm hopes to skate this week
Center Darren Helm, who hasn't skated since Sept. 6 due to a groin strain, said there is no definitive timetable on his return but he hopes to be on the ice later this week.
"My groin's feeling a lot better, range of motion's pretty much as good as it can be,'' Helm said. "Still feel it on a couple of things.
"I don't think I'll be out for the whole exhibition. I'm hoping a few more days.''
Considering he hasn't skated in 10 days, is limited in his weight training and doesn't know when his ailing back will be cleared for contact, it seems unlikely Helm will play in the preseason. He might start the regular season on injured reserve.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn would welcome a gay player on the football team, Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday.
Missouri defensive end Michael Sam, the 2013 SEC Defensive Player of the Year, revealed he is gay earlier this month, meaning that the projected mid-round pick in May's draft will likely become the first openly gay player in the NFL's history.
Sam's teammates and coaches at Missouri have supported his decision to make an announcement, prompting the question of whether or not a gay player would be welcome at Auburn.
"No doubt," Malzahn said.
Malzahn, initially asked about his reaction to Sam, responded by saying a team should play any player who wins and helps a team be successful.

I have just received my wireless booster. My sky router does not have WPS so trying the manual setup. All equipment connected correctly but the setup page will not load on my internet browser, just says page loading but it doesn't. Please help.
Booster is now working! Problem resolved by following a solution left by username "steven+elmes".
Follow manual setup instructions and wait for the browser setup page to say loading for ages. Stick a pin in the reset point on the back of the booster. Wait for the lights on the front to flash and remove pin. When lights stay on permanent white try reloading page.
Solved! Go to the solution

WATCH: James Beard Awards Gents Say Who Would Play Them in Their Biopics
by Mariella Mosthof | 2:07 pm, May 6th, 2014
Ladies were the belles of the ball at the James Beard Foundation Awards last night, so the menfolk obviously needed some ego-fluffing of their own. Potluck Video grabbed attendees on the red carpet and asked who would play them in the movie version of their lives — a hat tip to the JBFAs' reputation as "the Oscars of food."
We cannot believe that no one fed Rick Bayless Rob Lowe as an answer. Clearly, everyone needs to revisit our massive celebrity chef doppelgangers library.

Restaurant operators worry that their labor costs will go up so much under the looming health care reform law that they will be forced to cut jobs, slow unit growth and raise menu prices, according to a new study by People Report. The Dallas-based firm polled executives this summer at 50 restaurant companies, from quick service to upscale chains, about their attitudes on health care reform legislation. An overwhelming majority — 96 percent — said they expect health care costs ...

Brenna Bean has never been afraid of a challenge.
And good thing. She now faces the toughest of her life.
The 18-year-old Whately resident is recovering from serious injuries following an automobile accident late last month. The two-time sectional pole vault champion and June graduate of Frontier Regional School in South Deerfield sustained serious internal injuries and a spinal cord injury that has affected feeling in her legs.
"She is a fierce competitor ... she has always been willing to put the time in, the commitment to get better at what she's doing," Frontier's athletic director Marty Sanderson said.
"She is very spirited, a real pleasant kid off the field but very, very determined when she is competing." Sanderson said.
Bean was a two-time first-team All-Scholastic choice of The Republican, honoring her as one of the region's top track and field athletes.
She won back-to-back titles in the pole vault at the All-Western Massachusetts Championships, and she finished in 10th place at the All-State Championships in June.
"She is exactly the type of person you want to compete against," said Ludlow's Taylor Robitaille, who finished second to Bean at All-Western Mass. "She'd congratulate you every time, even if she wasn't having a good day. Her parents were always there supporting her. It was fun to be around her."
All three of Bean's top finishes took place at Westfield State College, where she is enrolled for the first semester of her freshman year.
Bean was transferred Monday from Baystate Medical Center in Springfield to the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. The rehabilitation process is expected to be extensive and lengthy.
"Her spirits have been great, she's making us laugh," family friend Chris White of South Deerfield said.
A fund has been established to help cover medical expenses during her rehabilitation. Donations to the Brenna Bean Fund can be made at any branch of People's United Bank, in care of Kathy Guy.
Scheduled fund-raisers include a benefit concert/dance, scheduled for Oct. 16 at the Yankee Candle fitness center, and a spaghetti supper on Nov. 6 at the Polish American Citizens Club in South Deerfield.

WALTHAM -- Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce is considered a game-time decision Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons after missing the team's morning shootaround.
Pierce tweaked his ankle Sunday against the New York Knicks, but missed Monday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves for undisclosed personal reasons, according to the team. Head coach Doc Rivers said Monday that Pierce would "for sure" play against Detroit.
Kevin Garnett also missed shootaround as he continues recovery from left ankle inflammation. The center has missed six straight games.
When shootaround opened to the media, Jared Sullinger, recovering from back surgery and already ruled out for the rest of the season, was spotted shooting jumpers. Jason Terry came over and said that the rookie power forward shouldn't shoot in front of video cameras.
"You're giving them false hope," he laughed.
