"Newark's losses represent only half the losses to Essex County overall," the report states. "There have been 13,500 foreclosures throughout the county in the past five years."
The report is put together by New Jersey Communities United, a grassroots non-profit group that advocates for low-income residents.
It claims that New Jersey has the second highest rate of foreclosure in the country and "has seen its foreclosure rate move in the opposite direction of the rest of the nation."
While blaming "predatory lending" and cut-throat Wall Street financiers for the housing crisis, the group is asking that the Newark City Council exert eminent domain to reset mortgages for people struggling to keep their homes.
They urge city lawmakers to "explore all legal options at the City's disposal to reset
mortgages to fair market value, including the use of eminent domain to acquire
underwater mortgages and write down the principal on those loans."
The group will participate in a hearing today at 11 a.m. in Room 304 at City Hall.

Kompenhans, J. and Kähler, Chr. (2002) Particle Image Velocimetry an advanced experimental tool for the investigation of turbulent flow fields. Seminar, INSEAN, Rom, Italien, Dec. 6, 2002.
Full text not available from this repository.
For the characterization of turbulent flows it is often required to measure both, the temporal behavior of the velocity fluctuations along with their spectral contents and the spatial flow structure. Conventional point-wise measurement techniques such as hot-wire or laser Doppler velocimetry have been applied for a long time in order to obtain the temporal information at a single point. Since a few years the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique, which for the first time allows to measure instantaneous velocity vector maps, enables quantitative insight into the development of the spatial structures as well. It will be shown that by employing more complex multi-laser, multi-camera set-ups for PIV, it becomes possible to measure other relevant quantities required for the understanding of turbulent flows such as the complete velocity gradient tensor or the components of the spatio-temporal correlation tensor for example.

Grand Isle has a new welcome mat: a "hurricane-proof" sign that Jefferson Parish officials unveiled Wednesday as a symbol of the barrier island's resilience after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike battered it in September.
"We will never abandon this island, we will always be here," Parish President Aaron Broussard said. "This is a symbol that the people of this island aren't going anywhere. They are entrenched."
The $25,000 steel sign bolted to a concrete slab replaces hand-painted plywood signs that have repeatedly blown away since Hurricane Katrina. Consisting of three fish sculptures mounted atop masts behind an undulating blue wave of sheet metal, the sign might
seem more at home on the boardwalk of a Florida resort town than a rustic fishing village.
"We wanted to fancy it up a bit with all the bright colors; be a little more progressive," said Greg Cantrell, the landscape architect for the project.
Like the plywood signs, some of the fishing camps destroyed by the hurricanes have been replaced by something more upscale: homes valued at more than $500,000.
The new sign's dedication launched a daylong celebration of the town's renewal. Beyond conducting the Parish Council's annual Grand Isle meeting to kick off the three-day International Tarpon Rodeo, officials broke ground on a long-awaited fire station and appraised the new storm surge levee being built by the Army Corps of Engineers.
As the caravan of official vehicles weaved through the island's camps, the work of the Army Corps of Engineers - miles of burrito-like tubes packed with sand along the southern beach - ran parallel to the road. Col. Robert Sinkler, chief of the corps' Hurricane Protection Office, called it the best storm surge defense yet for an island pummeled by four hurricanes in as many years.
The 13-foot-high, six-mile-long, $26-million federal project is half finished and on pace to be completed by December, Sinkler said. It began in April, after Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration brokered a deal that ended a 14-year stalemate about who would pay for it.
The project will help protect communities inland, aiding the island in its role as a speed-bump against speeding hurricanes, officials said.
"Geologically, Grand Isle may be the most important barrier island in the world," Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said. "That's the story we must keep telling or the people in Westwego will have beach front property."
Normand is president of this year's Tarpon Rodeo, which kicks off Thursday. Officials expect as many as 15,000 fishing aficionados to flood Grand Isle, home to roughly 1,200 people year-round. The tournament, which began in 1928, is the oldest fishing competition of its kind in the country.
Business owners are relying on the pull of the parish's $50,000 "Grand Isle Alive" ad campaign to boost the island's tourist-driven economy.
Tourists will travel the newly opened Leeville Bridge, a tollway that has sparked some criticism from local officials who believe residents should not have to pay for the only highway to the island.
Mayor David Camardelle said a meeting last Friday at the governor's mansion scored $100,000 in state money to exempt Grand Isle residents from having to pay tolls until next summer's legislative session. Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts, whose district includes Grand Isle, has said Jefferson's delegation plans to lobby to make the exemptions permanent.
The state will start collecting tolls on Monday. The Leeville Bridge, which replaces a rickety drawbridge that often broke down, is the first phase of a three-part project to elevate 19 miles of flood-prone Louisiana 1 between Golden Meadow and Port Fourchon, which serves 90 percent of the deepwater oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
Parish officials also took a moment to break ground for a new fire station after a four-year wait. The original station, like much of the island, was crushed by Hurricane Katrina.
Still, after three more storms since 2005, the people are still here.
"The sand shifts in Grand Isle. One storm pushes us to the east, and another storm pushes to the west," Camardelle said. "But we're not going no place."

The conflict in Syria is spreading, without any doubt. Al-Akahbar reports that an Iraqi group fired six mortar rounds into a " remote area of northeastern Saudi Arabia" as a warning to Saudis about their treatment of Shias. That would include the Shias in this resource rich area of Saudi Arabia. It could be seen as the general warning on Saudi actions toward Iran, Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Saudis have financed and now lead the anti-Syrian government attack seeking to oust President Bashar al-Assad.
The Saudis seem frenetic lately. Prince Bandar bin Sultan recently named himself the head of a 50,000 man "extraterritorial military unit" that will fight in the region, e.g., Syria. The Saudis were said to have an agreement with Israel to support an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, although Riyadh denied the story.
The warning shot from Iraq is a bold move intended to send a message. We'll see what Prince Bandar's militia does about this.

An Iraqi group claimed Thursday it had fired six mortar rounds that hit a remote area of northeastern Saudi Arabia a day earlier as a warning to the Wahabbi kingdom.
Wathiq al-Battat, head of the pro-Iranian group Jaish al-Mukhtar, told AFP by telephone from Baghdad that the attack was "a warning strike" to Saudi Arabia over its stance towards Shias.

By NANCY H. GONTER
PALMER - At the request of the town's school superintendent, state Rep. Todd M. Smola, R-Palmer, has filed legislation that would make it a felony for a school employee to have sex with a student who is 17 or older.
Superintendent Gerald A. Fournier sought the legislation in the wake of suspicions about a former school employee last year, according to Smola. The male employee resigned last fall after an investigation into whether he had inappropriate interactions with several female high school students.
"The law would make it a felony if a student and a staff member had a relationship, even if she is of consensual age," Smola said.
Current state law prohibits sex with a person under 16, a charge known as statutory rape. It carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Smola's legislation was filed at a time when school and police officials were questioning the relationship of a Holyoke teacher and student. However, that case would not fall under the provisions of the proposed law.
Holyoke school teacher Lisa M. Lavoie, 24, of Ludlow, and a 15-year-old student were reported missing in February. The two were discovered on Feb. 23 at a motel in Morgantown, W.Va. The boy has been placed in a foster family, and Lavoie awaits prosecution on a charge of enticing a minor. If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of five years in state prison.
The case would not fall under the proposed law because Lavoie has not been charged with having sex with the student, and the child in question is a minor and not of consenting age. If Lavoie should be charged with statutory rape, a prospect raised by the prosecutor during her arraignment, the case would be covered under existing law because the student is younger than 17.
Smola's proposal calls for a maximum penalty of 10 years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000 for a school employee who has sex with a student aged 17 or older. Smola said he researched the laws in several states, and a bill was drafted by the House of Representatives legal counsel.
Smola expects some resistance to the proposal because it would cover consensual relationships between any school employee and a student.
"Obviously, there is some concern raised with legislation like this," he said. "(The Palmer superintendent) asked me to file it, and I agreed to do it. We're talking now about a consensual relationship between of-age adults. It's a sticky wicket."
Fournier believes the proposed law would be a deterrent and would allow law enforcement officials to take steps regardless of the age of the students.
"Evidence in Connecticut shows that the frequency of inappropriate relations have decreased," Fournier said. "I don't see why Massachusetts can't have a similar law."
Palmer schools have a policy, adopted in 2006, barring "student-staff personal relationships which exceed the scope of normal professional student-staff relationships." Violating the policy can result in disciplinary action up to termination, according to the policy.
Fournier's request for the legislation came after a Palmer High School employee resigned in the fall during an investigation into his relationships with several female students. A report from the Police Department, obtained by The Republican through a public records request, indicated that two parents contacted police in October with concerns about their daughters' relationships with the man.
A report by officer Theodore N. Bonnayer II said that neither student would cooperate with police. He said he obtained one girl's cell phone in an effort to see if there were messages from the employee, but a forensic investigator determined that all messages had been erased. The investigator declined to seize the employee's computer, saying it had been "compromised" by a previous search by school officials.
Because the girls were 17, and because there was no allegation of force, any sexual interaction would not be a crime, said Bonnayer in the report.

GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio -- Chart Industries Inc., a global manufacturer of equipment for natural gas, industrial gases and biomedical gases, saw sales leap by 28 percent in 2012.
In a report to investors on Thursday, the Garfield Heights-based company said net sales for last year were $1.1 billion, up 28 percent from 2011 net sales of $794.6 million.
In the last quarter of the 2012 alone, the company reported sales of $304 million, a 38 percent leap over 2011 last-quarter sales of $220 million.
The news sparked unusually heavy demand for the company's stock, which is traded on the Nasdaq, driving up the share price by more than $7, or nearly 11 percent, to $72.59.
The company also announced a $40 million sale to PetroChina for liquefied natural gas, or LNG, equipment.
"I am pleased to report a strong fourth quarter to cap off another record year," said Sam Thomas, Chart chairman, president and chief executive officer.
"Globally, our expansion projects are progressing nicely and, while executing on strong orders, we have been able to significantly improve capacity and lead times in our LNG business."
Chart's $40 million order with PetroChina is for LNG transportable, self-contained fueling stations, storage tanks and vehicle tanks. China is moving away from diesel to LNG as a vehicle fuel for heavy-duty trucks, Thomas said.
"Our business with PetroChina has been growing steadily with us serving a larger number of the various oil field operating regions that PetroChina operates in," Thomas told analysts during a Thursday teleconference.
"We've probably sold upwards of $60 million worth of equipment to PetroChina over the past couple of years. This particular order was notable in its size. We've sold numbers of these same pieces of equipment to them earlier in 2012. And they're forecasting continued growth and use."
Chart is also poised to provide truck fueling equipment in North America and Europe, he said, when truck makers begin producing natural gas powered-trucks. That has already begun, and Chart expects an increase in LNG trucks and a demand for refueling stations by 2014.
In Europe LNG is being used in commercial shipping. Thomas said Chart has been supplying LNG equipment for boats and river ferries, primarily in Scandinavia, and expects that to grow quickly.
"We've been a supplier of LNG storage equipment and marine transport bunkering solutions. In other words, both LNG tanks for new ships particularly ferries, as well as the dock side refueling stations for them, as well as the infrastructure to deliver fuel to them," Thomas told analysts.
"We've also sold a number of LNG municipal bus and truck refueling stations in both Western Europe, as well as Poland. We've had some participation increasing efforts for LNG fueling in Spain, UK, and the Netherlands."
Chart is involved in about half of the more than 20 proposed U.S. projects to liquefy shale gas and ship it to Europe or Asia, where prices are higher. These projects would require federal approval, however, and that could be politically tricky because some industries, plastics and fertilizer, for example, want to use the gas here.
"The LNG story is very exciting but I think none of you have any illusions about the challenge of calling the timing of a growing market when there are a number of moving pieces," Thomas cautioned.
Here are more details about Chart's financial performance for the year 2012 and how it compared to the previous year.
While sales broke records, net profits were not as high as they would have been had Chart not been involved in buying other companies in an effort to expand to meet anticipated future business.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $20.8 million, or 69 cents a share. Fourth-quarter 2012 earnings would have been 80 cents a share, excluding $4.5 million, or 11 cents a share, of costs stemming from Chart's August purchase of AirSep, a maker of medical and industrial air separation equipment, including oxygen concentrators for in-home use.
This compares with net income of $8.4 million, or 28 cents a share, for the fourth quarter of 2011, when net earnings would have been 51 cents a share excluding $9.5 million, or 23 cents a share, of refinancing and restructuring costs in that period.
For the year 2012, net income was $71.3 million, or $2.36 per share. Net income for 2012 would have been $2.50 per share excluding $5.9 million, or 14 cents per share, of costs primarily due Chart's purchase of other companies.
This compares to net income of $44.1 million, or $1.47 per share, for the year 2011. Net income for 2011 would have been $1.84 per diluted share excluding $15.7 million of refinancing and acquisition-related costs.
Thomas' remarks and those of Michael F. Biehl, chief financial officer, as they discussed results with investors Thursday, were webcast live and will be available for the next week on the company's website.

I read with interest The Express-Times' story about Pohatcong Township changing its bonding ordinance to preserve a piece of farmland.
This would be an excellent idea for any farmland, but the farmland that would be preserved in this case has long been fought over as the site of a large Council on Affordable Housing development on a piece of land that has been recognized as being part of the Pohatcong Grasslands, a unique habitat for state-listed threatened and endangered grassland birds.
Not only is this farmland suitable habitat, it is habitat that is home to many of these birds. Developers had claimed the highway somehow prevents birds from flying from one side to the other to use available habitat, but developer arguments are always self-serving falsehoods. I strongly encourage the township to move ahead with its efforts to protect this important part of the nationally recognized Pohatcong Grasslands.

One of the many problems causing the Detroit Lions' lackluster offensive output over the past few games has been dropped passes.
And no one has been immune to the effects of this plague.
Bryant Johnson. Brandon Pettigrew. Even Calvin Johnson!
Right now, the 1-8 Lions are tied for fourth-most dropped passes in the NFL. (Interestingly, the other two teams are the 7-2 Cincinnati Bengals and the 6-3 New England Patriots.)
So what's the problem?
Some have wondered whether rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford throws too hard. Not even close, says Lions wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson.
The Detroit News, Nov. 18: "I think he throws a very catchable ball," Jefferson said. "For a receiver, you want that ball to come in hot. You don't want that ball left up in the air while that cornerback's bearing down on your head.
"He reminds me of Drew Bledsoe. He had a rocket, but with touch. And this kid, that's what he has: He has a rocket, but he also has touch on the ball."
To help his guys out, Jefferson is turning to some advice that he got San Diego Padres Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn. The lifetime .338 hitter told Jefferson when he got into a slump at the plate, his solution was to get more batting practice: "seeing the bat make contact with the ball -- every time."
For receivers, it's watching the ball into your hands -- every time. So Jefferson's got the receivers getting back to basics with extra reps on the JUGS football machine.
We'll see if it works.
Personally, if I was looking for advice on focusing, there's only one man I'd listen to. And it's not Tony Gwynn:

USA Today: Libertarian Patterson polling at 7% in high-profile Kentucky senate race
Posted on Aug 6, 2014
David Patterson,
Kentucky LP candidate
for U.S. Senate
Another Libertarian is showing impressive poll numbers in a nationally-watched campaign this year, which could determine the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
Libertarian David Patterson is polling at 7 percent in a match-up with Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes, according to a Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll.
David Patterson, a peace officer in Harrodsburg, is running to end domestic spying, end the failed drug war, dramatically cut back government spending and advance a non-interventionist foreign policy.
Patterson's petition signatures are due next week to qualify for the November ballot. According to Ken Moellman, Kentucky Libertarian Party state chair, his campaign expects to turn in well more than the required 5,000 certified signatures.
USA Today reports that Jennifer Duffy, a senior editor with the Cook Political Report,, said, "Patterson's relatively strong performance is similar to phenomena she's seeing in other states showing voters aren't happy with Republican or Democratic sources."

Spotlight on reading
Some of the best big-league moments are the ones that involve the littlest people. Big Z, meet the third grade.
Or more precisely: Carlos, te presento el tercer grado.
A group of about 20 bilingual students from Chicago's Inter-American Elementary Magnet School took a field trip to Wrigley Field last week to attend a book reading by Carlos Zambrano himself. Produced by the Cubs' Community Affairs department and Comcast Spotlight, these readings are taped and available on-demand for Comcast cable subscribers to play for their children before bedtime. You currently can check out English-language readings by Ryan Theriot, Lou Piniella and Ted Lilly, recorded during the off-season Cubs Caravan.
This reading was ground-breaking, however, for being in Spanish. It's part of a larger Spanish-language initiative by the Cubs, which includes the two-year-old Web site loscubs.com.
Going for .500
Yesterday's comeback was a good start for the team, particularly the lineup against a good pitcher in Houston's Roy Oswalt. Today, Henry Blanco makes his first appearance, giving Geovany Soto a rest.

Kerry Wood saved his second game of the season with yesterday's 1-2-3 inning. His slider kept hitters off balance, and his fastball was moving very well.
In his 36 career appearances as a reliever, Kerry has a 3.43 ERA and has held opponents to a .181 batting average.
Evolving lineup
Lou explained this morning his rationale for moving the catcher to the eight hole in the lineup: He wants to have some speed in front of the catcher so that he can try to get runners in scoring position for his backstops.
Lou thinks carefully about his lineups, and as he said, if something's not working, he's going to change things around a little bit.
"Z" for Zero
Carlos Zambrano holds a 19.2 scoreless-innings streak. He hasn't allowed a run in his last three starts, dating back to Sept. 28 in Cincinnati (6.0 IP).
He's the first Cubs pitcher to go three starts without yielding a run since Ken Holtzman accomplished the feat in both 1968 and '69.
Workout day
"All right, guys, here we come!"
It was none other than Carlos Zambrano who led the players' charge out of the clubhouse Sunday afternoon.
For many of the players, it was their first time seeing Wrigley Field's redone playing surface. Aramis Ram�rez and Ronny Cede�o took notice of the yellow-painted CBOE on the brick facing the leftfield bullpen box. It will be one of the handful of changes fans will notice on their first trip to the ballpark this season.
Soon, Aramis' attention turned to testing the new dirt. He had a few nervous chuckles when the baseball he was bouncing … didn't bounce. The players were told that the infield will be soft while it hasn't completely thawed. Bench coach Alan Trammell told his infielders that he wanted to discover all the new quirks. Until then, they'll be wise to stay low on groundballs.
The other thing the players noticed from the outset was how short the infield grass is compared to Wrigley Field's historically thick diamond. The hitters seemed fond of the faster surface–but the pitchers were goading the grounds crew to grow it out anew.
And, yes, the flattened field does finally allow the manager to see the rightfielder's shoes from the dugout.
One more tune-up
As over 100 members of the media milled about on a day resembling winter more than spring, the question arose as to why the Cubs schedule a team workout. Surely seven weeks of spring training will matter more than this one day, right?
Assistant general manager Randy Bush explained that the team uses this day to adjust to the cold weather. Swinging a bat and throwing a ball feels different in frigid Chicago than it did a couple days ago in 80-degree Arizona.
When asked whether opening in a dome or warm climate should be MLB policy, Derrek Lee said that they would appreciate the nice weather but opening at home is about as exciting as it gets. I'm sure the fans are ready to go, too.
Ready to go
The media took notice when Kosuke Fukudome went yard in his first round of BP … Zambrano, also batting left-handed, followed him with three home runs of his own.
After running in from shagging flyballs, Alfonso Soriano stayed at shortstop to take a couple groundballs. He dropped the first, but immediately yelled, "Same guy! Same guy!" He started the double play on the second ball hit to him.

CHICAGO -- Here's a look at the Sox's 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday.
How it happened: All eyes were on Chris Sale, the White Sox's left-hander who took the mound on nine days rest. Sale was solid early on, working quickly and throwing in the mid 90s. In the fifth inning he was hit hard by three straight batters, including Jeff Francoeur's solo home run to right field and then gave up a 403-foot homer to Billy Butler in the seventh. He got out of a jam in the eighth, with runners on first and third, courtesy of some timely defensive gems. First, Alexei Ramirez dove across his body to snare a infield blooper. Then, Sale cleanly fielded a bunt near the third base line and tagged out a runner near the plate. And for some theatrics, Sale fanned Lorenzo Cain on three pitches. Sale went eight innings, allowing two runs on eight hits, striking out seven and walking none. The Sox's bats came alive late in the game. Paul Konerko hit a solo homer in the seventh, Gordon Beckham provided the go-ahead run with his 10th homer of the season in the eighth and Kevin Youkilis added to the lead with a RBI double. A.J. Pierzynski drove in the Sox's first run of the night with a double in the second inning.
What it means: The Sox have won five of their last six games and 10 of their last 13. A win Tuesday will give them their fifth consecutive series victory.
Outside the box: A.J. Pierzynski's home run streak was snapped at five games, which left him one shy of the setting the club record for consecutive games with a home run. Pierzynski did, however, go 2-for-3 with an RBI. And he still leads all major league catchers in home runs (21).
Up next: Jake Peavy (9-7) will take the mound opposite Bruce Chen (7-9) on Tuesday night. Game time is 7:10 p.m.

The state Department of Transportation has modified its plan to repave the Sara-Placid Highway this summer to widen the shoulders and accommodate cyclists a little better.
The department will now aim to leave as much room as possible along the shoulders of state Route 86, spokeswoman Carol Breen told the Enterprise Wednesday. She said the changes were made following input from local officials and cycling advocates.
"We have committed to re-striping the section between Saranac (Lake) and Lake Placid," Breen said. "That would create 10-foot travel lanes for motorists, and it would add an extra foot of shoulder room for bicyclists on each side of the road."

Breen said DOT will only be repaving "what is there, not build new." She said the project will result in a smoother riding surface, but some locations will still have a narrow shoulder, even with the re-striping.
"The existing shoulder width varies widely along this route," she said. "There will still be some spots that have a narrow paved shoulder with gravel adjacent to it."
Transportation officials never planned to include actual bike lanes, which have a legal definition under state traffic law, include special traffic markings and are designed specifically for bicycles. Bike lanes also require engineering work that is not included in the upcoming rebuild of Route 86.
Breen said it's "extremely expensive" to reconstruct roads in general. Building an extra shoulder in itself can be pricey, she said.
"So just by striping the road in a different spot and moving that white line on the side in by a foot - just by doing that, it's simple, it doesn't cost anything, and we can give bicycle riders a little bit of extra room," Breen said.
The 8-mile stretch of highway between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake is among the most heavily traveled roads in the Adirondacks. It's also a popular route among cyclists and would be much more so if it was less dangerous, they say.
In less than two weeks, more than 1,600 people signed an online petition at www.change.org urging to DOT to build 5-foot shoulders wherever possible on Route 86. The petition also led to the formation of a new group called BIKE 86.
Josh Wilson of Saranac Lake, who works for the North Country Healthy Heart Network, said BIKE 86 and the petition quickly gained support from the New York Bicycle Coalition and the Tri-State Transportation Campaign.
"They sort of caught wind of the petition and offered to help spread the word about it," Wilson said.
Wilson said improving bicycle infrastructure "is an evidence-based way to enhance physical activity."
Placid Planet bicycle shop owner Kenny Boettger and Lake Placid Elementary School physical education teacher Matt Young, members of BIKE 86, said they were pleased with the updated DOT plan.
"It's a reasonable compromise that reflects the needs of cyclists and also motorists," Young said.
"It sounds like a good compromise," Boettger said. "I hope it works really well for everybody using the road."
BIKE 86 submitted its petition to DOT Commissioner Joan McDonald as well as Gov. Andrew Cuomo's deputy secretary for transportation, Karen Rae.
Asked if the petition had anything to do with the DOT's decision to re-stripe the highway, Breen said her agency always tries to listen when the public calls for something.
"There's a lot of things people ask us to do that we can't do," she said. "But when the community really, really wants something and it's as easy to do as this, we're definitely going to take that into consideration and try to make that happen."
State Sen. Betty Little applauded cycling advocates, business owners and local officials for raising awareness about the issue.
"Cycling is more than exercise," she said. "It's a tourism draw. It's an activity that promotes interaction and commerce between communities."
Breen said the stretch of Route 86 between Lake Placid and Wilmington, which is also scheduled to be repaved this summer, won't get the same treatment as the shoulders on the Sara-Placid Highway.
"At that location, the road already has narrow travel lanes," she said. "In most sections, it's already about 10 feet, and we can't make it any narrower than that."
That road through the Wilmington Notch, along the West Branch of the AuSable River, is narrow and curvy. Breen said DOT will try to accommodate wider shoulders wherever it can.
"We don't want to compromise safety of the motorists, either," she said.
Breen said DOT is still determining a schedule for the Route 86 project. She said her agency will release information ahead of time so people know when work will occur and where to expect lane restrictions.

Sorry, Haters
- Studio: IFC Films
- Release Date: Mar 1, 2006
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Unfolds with such utter looniness that the horrible final moments are more likely to inspire laughter than shock. Casually insulting our emotions and intelligence, Mr. Stanzler seems to have shaped his film with one goal in mind: to prove that audacity and recklessness are acceptable substitutes for craft and common sense. Needless to say, they're not.
This rancidly exploitative movie is redeemed only by canny performances by both leads, as well as Sandra Oh in a supporting role as Phoebe's friend.
So misguided as to be genuinely mystifying, Jeff Stanzler's queasily blended political psychodrama isn't simply a lousy movie. It's also a lousy movie that boldly exploits the events of 9/11.
Not even Sandra Oh, as Phoebe's boss, and Elodie Bouchez ("The Dreamlife of Angels"), as Ashade's sister-in-law, can keep Sorry, Haters from becoming a sorry mess.
It's a well-meaning but ultimately feeble and misguided attempt to say something profound about the aftereffects of the 2001 attacks on New York.

However, the forum discussion with Tim Robbins left me wondering Great, and surprising to the end! - just what thrillers are supposed to do. However, the forum discussion with Tim Robbins left me wondering why that group didn't ask the author what certain parts were about. [***SPOILERS***] (1) The dog had to die because she loved him - therefore he was a weakness for her endeavors. (2) The gift into Ashade's pocket was a gift (as she said) from her parents and she felt it was only right to give it to him. That gift, of course, was a bit of the explosives she received in the mail (apparently from her parents). (3) Problem: Remember what "yellow yoko" said at lunch? Phoebe was a Calvinist. But, Calvinists believe in Pre-Destination, so there is no reason to blow things up (and "cause" what has already been set in motion by God). It is there that the author tries to make Christian fanaticism look just as deadly as Islam fanaticism - but Calvinism isn't the proper avenue. It is more likely that a Calvinist would "not let a sorceress live" (as Scripture demands) rather than blow up the enemies of Israel (for Israel must have enemies to beat in the final war). No victory if no war, no war if no enemy - so that enemy plays an important part in prophecy. Nevertheless, I think the author/director portrayed the meanness and desperation quite well, including the seeds planted generations before - and the soldiers need to remove weakness once recognized. I was shocked at the turn of events, but after catching my breath came to appreciate its depth and truth.… Full Review »

BAY CITY, MI — Bay County voters decide Nov. 6 if they'll keep Timothy J. Kelly as one of their three district court judges or if attorney Edward M. Czuprynski will don the black robe.
Voters elected Kelly judge in 2000 to replace retiring District Judge John C. Leaming. Kelly took the bench the following year and is currently the district court's chief judge, a position he was appointed to by the state's Court Administrator's Office and the Supreme Court.
Timothy J. Kelly
Edward M. Czuprynski
"I've been doing this job for 12 years and I think I've done the job well," Kelly said. "I believe that when people come to my courtroom, they are treated with courtesy, respect and dignity. I make reasoned decisions based on the facts and the law as it's presented to me."
Czuprynski says drastic changes are needed in the 74th District Court, and that need is what compelled him to run.
"I'm simply sick and tired of the way the courthouse is run," Czuprynski said. "It's treated like a private business for a select few and the public be damned. The number one issue is ridding our district court of the corrupting influence of local politics."
Czuprynski alleges Kelly was recruited by the prosecutor to run for judge and he's been in their corner ever since he was elected.
Kelly disputes Czuprynski's claims.
"I believe I'm fair to all litigants," the judge said.
Prior to taking the bench, Kelly served as an assistant and chief assistant prosecutor. If re-elected, Kelly said there are a number of issues he'll face in his next term.
"One of the big priorities that we deal with court-wide is shrinking budgets," Kelly said. "We're also going to be implementing a concurrent jurisdiction plan."
Gov. Rick Snyder in February signed a bill calling for the elimination of one of Bay County's three circuit court judgeships through attrition. Assuming Chief Circuit Judge Kenneth W. Schmidt is re-elected and then retires at the end of his next six-year term, no new circuit judge will take his place, reducing the total number of judges in Bay County from seven to six. To compensate for that loss, the judges in the probate, district and circuit courts will increasingly share duties, something Kelly said they've been ahead of the curve on.
"We've been doing things before we've been asked or told to do them," Kelly said.
For example, Kelly said, the distinct courts already share jury pools and district judges often take pleas from defendants in circuit court.
"That helps the process," Kelly said. "If a defendant is in custody, we can shorten the time between the plea and sentencing if we (in district court) do them, which consequently frees up space in the jail sooner rather than later. We do our very best to move our cases as efficiently as possible."
Other constant, yet changing, challenges center around substance abuse, Kelly said.
"Another area of challenge for all of us in the courts … is we've seen this explosion of prescription drug abuse," Kelly said. "When you're dealing with drug addiction, many times you're dealing with both drug addiction and a mental health problem, and that's the most difficult population for us to deal with."
Kelly said he implemented mandatory drug and alcohol testing for defendants while on bond.
"We're doing the testing right up front … while they're out on bond awaiting their hearings so they're not re-offending or putting the public at risk," Kelly said. "It's something I saw as a real need in the community. When you have people on their third or fourth drunk driving, you need somehow to monitor what they're doing."
Czuprynski said the mandatory alcohol testing is an unjust tactic for the government to make money, something he would end if elected.
"I'd take immediate steps to halt this requirement of people to line up at the jail every morning to do this PBT test when they haven't been convicted of any crime," he said. "It's just a ruse to basically tax the working poor and it's wrong. It's $5.50 a pop, and at $38.50 a week, that's lot of money when you're flipping burgers at Rally's. If there's for good reason for it (a drunken driving case, for example), then fine, but this across the board mandate has no rational meaning behind it."
As Bay County already has specialized treatment courts for alcohol and illicit drugs, Kelly said they're looking to add a veterans court.
"We're seeing more and more veterans coming through with PTSD, drug issues and mental health issues," Kelly said. "We refer a lot of people right now to the VA for services, but we might at some point need to get a docket for veterans."
Kelly said a specialized mental health court could also be in the works.
Czuprynski has been highly critical of Kelly during his campaign, suing him when Kelly disqualified himself from handling any of Czuprynski's cases and barring Czuprynski from bringing any new cases before him until after the election.
Visiting Isabella County Circuit Judge Mark H. Duthie settled the dispute in July when he ordered Czuprynski can take cases assigned to Kelly within 21 days of a defendant's arraignment, and those cases are then transferred to another judge's docket. After that 21-day window, cases before Kelly remain before him and Czuprynski cannot be hired on.
The main issue Czuprynski has focused on is Kelly's handling of all the domestic violence cases that come through the district court. Czuprynski in September staged a protest outside the courthouse that saw 40 to 50 people marching in opposition to the domestic violence policy.
"First off, right off the bat, I would stop the way all the domestic violence cases go to the same judge," Czuprynski said. "I'd make the assignment of the judge on DV cases a blind draw, the way it is supposed to be. I'd end the requirement that (defendants) not have contact with their children if charged with domestic violence when the children aren't involved in any way or weren't even there. That's wrong, and I'd end that."
In response to this, Kelly said that even if children aren't directly assaulted by a parent, their safety could still be jeopardized.
"Domestic violence affects the whole family," he said. "Children often either eye-witness it or hear it from another room. They are impacted physically and mentally. Children are often used by batterers to try to get the victim to not proceed (with the prosecution). Studies have shown that for years and years."
Kelly added that the initial bond conditions he sets are not etched in stone.
"If a particular defendant has been ordered not to have contact, an attorney can always file a motion for modification of bond and conditions" he said. "That's part of the process. We want to protect victims and those who are affected by violence in the home."
Czuprynski in October 2010 filed a lawsuit against Kelly, citing a state law that reads, "all cases must be assigned by lot, unless a different system has been adopted by local court administrative order." At the time, no such order existed, Czuprynski said.
After being served with the suit, Kelly issued an order stating that he was to preside over all of Bay County's domestic violence cases. A Michigan Court of Appeals then dismissed the suit.
Kelly said he volunteered to handle all of the domestic violence cases when elected, adding that keeping those cases under one roof ensures they're dealt with more effectively.
"It's a philosophy most domestic violence courts follow that you have one judge dedicated to domestic violence, who based on training and experience understands the cycle of domestic violence," Kelly said. "These are some of the most difficult cases to handle. I look at handling domestic violence cases as homicide prevention."
Aside from changing the handling of domestic violence cases, Czuprynski said several other alterations would be made under his watch.
"I'd also restore the quote Judge Leaming had prominently displayed on his courtroom wall that Judge Kelly had removed as soon as he was elected," he said.
The quote Czuprynski referred is attributed to former Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren: "It is the spirit and not the form of the law that keeps justice alive."
"It's restoring that attitude and approach to the administration of the court's business, which has been lacking since John Leaming retired and Kelly replaced him," Czuprynski said. "We have to go back to running our courthouse under the spirit of the law, not just its form. Judge Kelly and company have treated the courthouse like their own private system."
Czuprynski said he's self-financed his campaign to ensure he's not beholden to anyone if he wins.
"I don't need this job; the job needs me," Czuprynski said. "In fact, to become judge is going to involve a pay cut. I'd have to set aside this very successful law practice which I've struggled to build up to where it's at now, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice because I believe I can reform the court in a way no one else would. Why? Because I'm willing to challenge those in power and restore justice to our court system.
Kelly, however, said the court system is more than efficient as it is, and due largely to the working relationship he shares with his peers.
"We communicate pretty well," he said. "We all understand we're all in this together. I think we're very fortunate in Bay County to have judges willing to work together for the good of the full court system."

Primary Sources: 2012 America's Teachers on the Teaching Profession
Ever wonder what teachers think about issues such as student and teacher performance and how teachers should be evaluated, rewarded, and supported? A recent report from Scholastic and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Primary Sources: 2012 America's Teachers on the Teaching Profession, attempts to answer those questions and more. Over 10,000 teachers responded to online survey aimed at identifying the supports and tools that directly impact student achievement, the way teacher's benchmark their success, and the tools necessary to retain good teachers.
The results can be summed up into four beliefs:
- Raising student achievement requires the work of many. Teachers know that they are the single most important factor in raising student achievement, 99 percent of teachers responded saying that "effective and engaged" teachers are absolutely essential. Teachers also identified the importance of setting the bar high and creating high expectations for all students as an essential component to moving the achievement needle- 71 percent of teachers said that "high expectations for all students" make a very strong impact. Family involvement and effective school leaders also ranked significantly high as having an impact on student achievement.
- Teaching and learning are too complex to be measured by one test. Teachers understand and value the importance of measuring student achievement but clearly stated that standardized test are not the best tool to do so- only 26 percent of teachers believe that standardized tests are an accurate reflection of student achievement. Teachers also recognize the need to measure their performance in the classroom, but are cautious of using standardized tests as a single indicator of their success. Instead they believe that they should be evaluated through a variety of methods including student growth measurements and parent and peer reviews.
- Challenges facing America's schools are significant and growing. Teachers reported that more students are struggling academically and socially. While 82 percent of teachers said that the goal of K-12 was for students to graduate college- and career-ready, only 63 percent believe that their current students would leave high school prepared for college. Teachers are also seeing a rise in the number of behavioral, poverty, and hunger challenges among students.
- School and community supports are essential to keeping good-teachers in the classroom. Much like the factors important for raising student achievement, teachers believe that supportive school leaders, engaged parents, and a quality curriculum are key to retaining good teachers. Other factors such as a collaborative work environment and support staff were reported as important as well.
While teachers are facing more and more challenges in the classroom they are still content with their chosen profession, with over 80 percent reporting they are satisfied with their jobs.

HARRISBURG – Tahjay Smith, 12, wants to be a nurse, maybe a doctor, because she wants to help people.
Her classmate Grant Cassel plans to join the Army because, he says, he thinks he'd like it based on video games and the example set by his older cousin.
They attend schools struggling to meet academic benchmarks and get graduation rates over 50 percent. When classes end for the day, many go home to communities besieged by high violence, poverty and unemployment rates per capita.
To help counteract that, one Harrisburg teacher and her husband have started the Purple Feet Foundation, a nonprofit that runs a week-long summer thinc Program and monthly thinc Career Chats all year.
Rougeux, who works for Discovery Education, and his wife, Martha, who teaches sixth grade in Harrisburg, started the organization in memory of their daughter.
Martha Rougeux suffers from subglottic stenosis. Typically afflicting women starting during their 30s and 40s, the condition causes scar tissue to accumulate in the throat, leading to breathing complications.
Now 47, she discovered the condition at age 41.
Managing it means periodic surgeries. During one of them, her heart stopped. She was pregnant at the time.
Doctors revived Martha, but her daughter Grace did not survive.
"When I was going through my grieving process, I said to Lance, 'I'm not going to have an opportunity to share my experiences … with our daughter,'" Martha Rougeux recalled. "Because I couldn't do that with my own child, I wanted to give those things to someone else."
That was in 2009, when the district also honored Rougeux with its Teacher of the Year award.
Enter the foundation and the thinc Program. Through that, 21 students from Harrisburg, Prince George's County, Md., and the Julia de Burgos Bilingual Middle School in Philadelphia's rough Northern Liberties area spent a week touring college campuses, university research and medical facilities, and doing Q&A sessions and hands-on projects with professors and other professionals in various fields.
Sixth-grade students already identified as at-risk by their teachers are told about the program. Those who want to participate are asked to write 50-word statements about their career plans: what they want to do for a living, and why.
So far, the foundation hasn't turned anyone away, Martha Rougeux said.
"That age, 11 or 12, is when I started thinking about wanting to teach. I didn't know how I'd get there, or if I had the money to get there," said Rougeux, who grew up with eight siblings in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood pre-gentrification. "And in seventh grade, that's when they take their final turn, when they start becoming a good, productive member of society, or going the other way."
At this point, Cassel says he's definitely going to college before the Army – "doesn't matter" where.
"I like guns, so that's the best place for me," he said of the Army.
But he also really likes math. And for him, the most eye-opening thing from the program was the exposure to the realities of college life: Your food might get stolen out of the refrigerator. Finding a quiet, distraction-free spot to study is key. A big university might have its advantages, but a smaller campus would mean shorter walks between classes. Stuff like that.
Cassel spoke just after he and his peers returned in the driveway of the Foose School at 13th and Sycamore streets in Harrisburg's Allison Hill section.
The daylight quiet along the surrounding tree-lined streets was deceptive. The area, Lance Rougeux acknowledged, is unsafe.
Smith was headed back to her family's apartment in nearby Hall Manor, an apartment complex that's a frequent draw for police responses in the city.
Cassel would go home to another complex just a few blocks from there.
There, he says, he has a quiet place to study, plenty to eat and both of his parents waiting for him.
That's more than some of his classmates can say.
Still, plenty of obstacles await Cassel and other Harrisburg kids on their way to a place where where they actually have those career and educational choices Lance Rougeux spoke about.
Fewer than 100 Harrisburg students, for example, took the SAT exams last year, according to a report from district Chief Recovery Officer Gene Veno brought in through Pennsylvania's Act 141 for distressed public school systems.
Less than half of students graduate high school; the same is true of passing as proficient on standardized tests.
And about a third of the city's of 50,000 residents live in households with incomes below the poverty line. On most nights, gunfire rings out in one neighborhood or another, and has claimed nine lives so far this year.
Establishing continuity, then, is all the more critical for the foundation.
The thinc Career Chats help with that.
Next year, a public school in Charlotte, N.C., will send a contingent.
And ultimately, the thinc Program would bring in campers in sixth grade and keep them for three successive summers, bring them back as high school upperclassmen to work as junior counselors.
The expansion's longer-term component is, arguably, the most important.
It would let Rougeux and other program volunteers to maintain contact with – and continue with still-needed mentoring – program alums returned as counselors, who are now "hard to keep track of," she said.
In turn, those older teens would provide a realistic example of success to the younger kids.
"We can say until we're blue in the face: these are the challenges you'll face," she said. "But it means more if you're hearing it from kids who grew up in similar surroundings."

Sens. Gillibrand, Lieberman To Dept. Of Defense: Restore Honor To DADT-Discharged Veterans
Three influential U.S. Senators—Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Joe Lieberman (I-CT), and Mark Udall (D-CO)—are pushing the Department of Defense (DOD) to act quicker in restoring honor to veterans who were discharged during the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" era
In their letter to DOD head Leon Panetta, the Senators asked for the creation of a process that would speed up the removal of the word "homosexual" from dishonorably discharged veterans' paperwork, so that finding new work would be easier for them.
Here's press-release sound bites from all three of the Senators. Gillibrand:
"We need to right wrongful discharges for our veterans immediately. Last fall, we ended the discriminatory Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. Now it's time to create an efficient way for veterans, who were discharged because of who they love, to receive clean, honorable discharge paperwork. Veterans that were discharged under DADT served our country courageously and with dignity and we need to give them the appropriate recognition immediately."
"Although this harmful and wrongheaded policy has been repealed, it left behind a legacy of injustice that continues to discriminate against the gay and lesbian service members whom were discharged under it. By streamlining the process to correct these service members' discharge documents, the Department of Defense can ensure that these courageous Americans move forward with dignity in their careers and private lives."
"Even though we ended DADT last year, more than 14,000 veterans who were forced to leave the military because of their sexual orientation still have an unfair stigma hanging over them. Many of those veterans are now beginning the long process of correcting their discharge paperwork to ensure that their records reflect the quality of their service – not the discriminatory legacy that forced them from the military, weakening our national security in the process. Especially at a time of such high unemployment for our veterans, we should make it as easy as possible for them to maintain their personal privacy by making such corrections."
Isn't it nice to see your legislators actually doing something for once? Let's hope Republicans don't put up any unnecessary partisan bickering over this, because restoring honor to veterans is something I think all Americans can agree upon.
Click through to read the full letter sent by our fierce political allies in the Senate.
At least now Dan Choi can stop being a professional media whore and will hopefully reinlist like he said he was going to do but hasn't.
I agree with Dave, also Trans people still can't serve openly in the military.
An actual, honest to God issue for people to get behind and there are two comments. Maybe if there had been a photo of Jake Gylannhaal with the attendant is he gay queary someone would have something to say?
The fact that Dave specifically failed to mention trans people was likely intentional.

@4Nick you mean unintentional. It's not like there have ever been any Trans people who have said how they were kicked out of the military because they were Trans and they don't do things like go to the media or try to meet with politicians. Meanwhile bisexuals, gays, and lesbians have been talking about being discharged under DADT for decades and we've been out and visibly active in getting DADT abolished so we can serve openly in the military.
That photo kicks ass!!
What a beautiful mix of the freedom of sexual expression, a stable democracy, and the right to bear arms.
Israel is a cool country, (not that I want armed soldiers walking around our cities).
DrewSF: No, I really did mean unintentional. What I am saying is that I don't think he cares about people who are trans.

MIYFS food bank needs replenishment
Donations of nonperishable food are not covering the current needs of clients at the Mercer Island Food Pantry, says Cheryl Manriquez, Family Assistance and Employment Coordinator for the City of Mercer Island Department of Youth and Family Services. The food bank, located in the Luther Burbank Administrative Building in Luther Burbank Park, has had to use emergency funds to purchase food to stock the shelves so that the approximately 125 Mercer Island client families who rely on the Food Pantry monthly will have food.
"Many Island residents are surprised that there are families experiencing food scarcity living on Mercer Island," Manriquez said. "The food bank's website has a list of donation items that are most needed, which include cereal, soups, tuna, peanut butter and jelly, pasta and sauces, school lunch snacks and canned fruit. Monetary donations are always welcome.
Donations can be sent to Mercer Island Youth and Family Services, 2040 84th Ave. S.E., Mercer Island, Wash., 98040, to the attention of Cheryl Manriquez. Note on the check that the donation is for the food bank. Donations of both cash and food are tax-deductible.
Donations may also be made at Banner Bank on 78th Avenue S.E., the Mercer Island Community and Event Center at 8236 S.E. 24th Street, Albertsons grocery store at 2755 77th Ave. S.E., and the Mercer Island Thrift Store at 7710 S.E. 34th Street.

What Can I Do? Form a Women in Astronomy/Physics/Science Group 3. Advice to Search Committees 4. Focus on Women Among Physics & Astronomy Faculty 5. Refuting the Idea that Women are Bad at Math 6. Female Astronauts Face Discrimination 7. Representatives Request Government Accountability Office Study on Gender Bias 8.

How to Subscribe or Unsubscribe to the AASWomen Newsletter 13. Access to Past Issues of the AASWomen Newsletter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. On Reverse Discrimination From: John Asher Johnson at womeninastronomy.blogspot.com Ed Bertschinger recently wrote an about his recent encounter with a response to the charge of 'reverse discrimination.' It really struck a chord for me because I used to be 'that guy' who would point to reverse discrimination as part of my general (uninformed) stance against affirmative action. More recently I've learned how wrong I was to take such a position. I'd like to take this space to explain my new way of thinking. First, think about ... To read more, please see http://womeninastronomy.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. What Can I Do? Form a Women in Astronomy/Physics/Science Group From: Joan Schmelz at womeninastronomy.blogspot.com Today's suggestion comes from Sonali Shukla, Coordinator in the Physics Department, University of Maryland ... Ever wonder what you could gain from joining or starting a local Women in Astronomy/Physics/ Science group? When I was an undergraduate, I was the only female student in the physics program until my junior year. With such small numbers, there was no such women's group in my department. However, I got along well with all my fellow students, and was blissfully unaware of any unconscious bias against women. In graduate school, I had several female friends, and one of my colleagues and I decided to start a Women in Physics group - something that didn't exist at my university. Our first meeting was ... To read more, please see http://womeninastronomy.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Advise to Search Committees From: Ed Bertschinger at womeninastronomy.blogspot.com September marks the beginning of the academic year in most universities, and soon the cycle of postdoc and faculty recruitment will start. Search committees will be formed, candidates recruited, short lists formed, candidates interviewed, and hiring decisions made. If you are involved in this process, now is a good time to educate oneself about best practices for recruiting the individuals most likely to succeed. Much attention has been devoted to implicit bias, for good reason: science faculty systematically rate male students as more competent and hireable than female students who are identical aside from the name (Moss-Racusin et al, 2012). Both male and female faculty exhibit ... To read more, please see: http://womeninastronomy.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Focus on Women Among Physics & Astronomy Faculty From: Michele M. Montgomery [montgomery_at_physics.ucf.edu] The representation of women in physics and astronomy continues to grow according to Ivie et al. from the 2010 survey on physics degree-granting departments. In 2010, over one-fourth of new faculty hires were women, ~15% of Ph-D granting physics departments had five or more women among their faculty members, and 19% of faculty members in astronomy-only departments were women. To read about these statistics, please see http://www.aip.org/statistics/trends/reports/womenfac-pa-10.pdf ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Refuting the Idea that Women are Bad at Math From: Michele M. Montgomery [montgomery_at_physics.ucf.edu] Hanna Rosin posted a set of slides entitled "How Does Biology Explain the Low Numbers of Women in Computer Science? Hint: It Doesn't" via a Slate.com blog. The informal slides were created by Terri Oda, a female mathematician who now works in Computer Science. The goal of the slides is to refute the idea that women are bad at math and is largely based upon the study by Hyde et al. (1990), "Gender Differences in Mathematics Performance: A Meta-Analysis." To see or download a set of the slides, please follow the link: http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/08/29/are_women_bad_at_math_graphs_ refute.html?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=sm&utm_campaign=button_toolbar ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Female Astronauts Face Discrimination From: Michele M. Montgomery [montgomery_at_physics.ucf.edu] [Thank you Harley Thronson, NASA, for pointing this article to AASWomen - eds.] Astronauts say that female astronauts face discrimination as female astronauts have fewer opportunities to fly in space. The relative number is partially due to women having a lower threshold for space radiation exposure, according to physiological models used by NASA. A female astronaut flies about half the missions that a male astronaut flies. To read more, please see: http://www.space.com/22252-women-astronauts-radiation-risk.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Representatives Request Government Accountability Office Study on Gender Bias Harley Thronson [harley.a.thronson_at_nasa.gov] "Three representatives have asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to examine the "government's effectiveness in combating gender bias in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields." Representatives Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), Louise Slaughter (D-NY), and Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) called for the study and have been actively working to address this issue throughout their careers in Congress. This GAO study request was in response to a 2012 study by Yale University researchers which concluded that female undergraduate students are viewed as less qualified for employment in STEM fields than their male counterparts. " To read more on this request, please see the AIP FYI page http://www.aip.org/fyi/2013/137.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. 'Imposters' Downshift Career Goals From: Michele M. Montgomery [montgomery_at_physics.ucf.edu] [Thank you Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, MIT, and Johanna Teske, University of Arizona, for pointing out this article to AASWomen - eds.] "Impostorism is something that negatively affects both men and women, but it's more pronounced among women, and therefore affects their career trajectories more." --- Jessica L. Collett To read more on on the imposter syndrome and how a rock-star female mentor may dissuade some women from pursuing an academic research career and/or downshift into a non-tenure track position, please see http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_magazine/previous_issues/articles/ 2013_09_04/caredit.a1300188 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. 2013 DPS Women in Planetary Science Lunch From: Kelsi Singer [kelsi.singer_at_gmail.com] Join us for an informal meeting and discussion hour over lunch at the Division of Planetary Sciences Meeting in Denver, CO. This year's overall topic will be leadership. We will have a brief presentation, but are planning for a very interactive program with lots of time for discussion among participants. Please feel free to bring any information/announcements related to women in astronomy and planetary science to share. Due to the generosity of the DPS committee, we will be able to provide boxed lunches this year. All are welcome! RSVPs are necessary by September 15th. To RSVP, please fill in the form at http://bit.ly/WIA_2013 For questions, please contact Kelsi Singer at kelsi.singer_at_gmail.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.

Every Saturday on its editorial page, Today's Sunbeam cheers those who make our area a better place in which to live and jeers those whose actions merit derision.
CHEERS: To going global. This week Mannington Mills announced that it had purchased United Kingdom-based Amtico International, a maker of high-quality luxury vinyl flooring products. The purchase now makes Salem County-based Mannington a real international player in the flooring industry. Amtico's sales force in Europe and other parts of the world will now offer quality Mannington products to a wider audience.
CHEERS: To a show of talent. On Friday students from around the county met at Salem Community College for the annual Teen Arts Festival. It's a great venue where area youth can gather and showcase their various talents. You can view a gallery of photos and two videos from the event by visiting www.nj.com/south and scrolling down on the left to the photos and video section. Congratulations to all of the students who turned out.
CHEERS: To, a reader suggests, the painter of the mural on the wall of the entrance to the Pennsville Acme. Our reader says, "this one is as beautiful as the winter scene. It's nice to see something that lovely when you enter a store."
CHEERS: To Mother Nature. What a winter it was — or should we say wasn't. Will we get paid back this summer? We'll have to wait and see.
CHEERS: To a clean sweep. Last week a reader suggested we cheer the person or persons who cleaned up the trash that had been scattered along the Mannington-Yorktown Road. Well, it turns out that it was the Salem County Correctional Facility's Inmate Labor Detail that did the fantastic job. The detail includes low-risk inmates who are out performing community projects. They also did a cleanup this week along county Route 540 in Mannington.
FAREWELL: To "Gerri" Burt. The former educator, administrator, councilwoman and civic leader died earlier this week at age 88. The longtime Salem resident was described by one friend as "feisty." That's true, Gerri always had a strong opinion and stood up for what she believed in. But Gerri had a soft spot, too. She'll be missed by many.
If you know of someone or something you would like to nominate for a cheer or a jeer, please send the information to Cheers and Jeers, Today's Sunbeam, 93 5th St., Salem, NJ 08079 or e-mail the item to firstname.lastname@example.com.
