In the next section, we describe the methods and strategies we used to plan and execute our outreach event. It is our hope that the methodology described in this section—with the recommendations that emerged from a similar effort, also conducted through the Sustainable Cities Initiative, at Medford's Multicultural Fair in the fall of 2013—can give the city a toolkit of best practices for future public engagement efforts. Above all, our suggestions for successful public outreach speak to the importance of cultivating personal relationships in the community, exhibiting cultural competency, and showing participants that their time and opinions are valued. The largest section of the report is devoted to presenting and analyzing the information we gathered during our outreach. en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US Medford, OR community outreach public participation Latino community Public Engagement with Diverse Communities in Medford [2014] Other

These streetlights cost the city roughly 1.5 million dollars per year in combined electricity and maintenance costs, representing 20 percent of Public Works Department expenditures. The city uses a combination of ownership and rental options in partnership with two electric utilities, Portland General Electric (PGE) and Salem Electric (SE). The shared ownership model has contributed to a system with over 100 combinations of lights and ballasts. The city has identified this streetlight system as an important opportunity to increase the efficiency of government operations and the long-term stability of financial resources. In conjunction with the University of Oregon's Sustainable City Year program, the City of Salem commissioned a team of students in a Masters of Public Administration Capstone course at the University of Oregon to recommend a more sustainable model for their streetlight operations. The city seeks a streetlighting system that is financially and politically sustainable in an era of public/private partnerships, regulatory change, rising energy costs, and unstable government revenue. At the same time, Salem is considering the environmental cost and benefits of their municipal infrastructure.The following report examines available mechanisms to improve the sustainability of Salem's streetlight operations. The first section defines Salem's streetlight operations problems and provides a survey of possible solutions. The remaining portions of the report provide in-depth analysis of the most suitable alternatives and recommended actions for the city to achieve more sustainable streetlight operations. en_US University of Oregon Street lighting -- Oregon -- Salem Salem (Or.)

The design studio included 17 architecture students at both the graduate and undergraduate level. Over the course of ten weeks (one academic term), they individually proposed schematic designs for the library. The studio proposed a contemporary vision of a community-oriented library that developed its civic identity within a framework of sustainable design practices. Students explored sustainable building practices that enhanced the civic agenda of the library's program, including rainwater harvesting in public space, daylighting in reading rooms, increased diversity through mixed-use spaces, and access to alternative forms of transportation. en_US University of Oregon cc_by-nc-sa City planning -- Oregon -- Springfield Library buildings -- Oregon -- Springfield Springfield Public Library Technical Report

Members of a union representing Pontiac police officers have voted to accept putting the Oakland County sheriff's department in charge of city patrols.
The Oakland Press and the Detroit Free Press report the vote took place Wednesday, ending a fight that had gone to court over the proposal. They voted to dissolve the union, allowing the city to contract with Oakland County for law enforcement services.
Union business agent Fred Timpner says the Pontiac Police Department will "go out of business" April 30 as the sheriff's department takes over.
Pontiac Mayor Leon Jukowski says the county plans to field more officers than Pontiac's current 38.
Emergency financial manager Michael Stampfler had proposed the move last year. He has said it would save the cash-strapped city $2 million annually.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- On a warm sunny Friday at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, customers faced with a decision – take a cold drink for free or pay a buck on the honor system – overwhelmingly acted with honor.There were no lions ready to pounce on the skinflints. The decision was based entirely on conscience. But about 50 yards away under a shaded tree, marketers from "Honest Tea" recorded results for their National Honesty Index.
How honest are we? The results, for Cleveland and 49 other locations, won't come out until July 23 on a Web site the beverage company set up. But Tipoff saw a lot of people forking over a buck and only one person swiping his organic tea.
"The majority of people are honest," said Melissa Cerda-Richards, Honest Tea's regional marketing manager, as she recorded results while sitting on a bench far removed from the display.
"Yesterday in Detroit, a guy stole a bottle and a lady called him on it," she said. "People always surprise you."
The marketing experiment also is being conducted in New York, Chicago, Miami, Tampa, Portland, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Las Vegas (egads!).
Gayla Johnson of Brunswick sipped her cold tea after paying the buck and said she'd never think of not paying.
"It's the honor system and you have to have honor. Plus, I think this is a deal. A dollar?" she said.
Her daughter Amanda Vaughn and her husband Josh agreed. "Between my Mom and Girl Scouts, I was taught right," Amanda said.

|Capital One Financial Corp | 7.50% Enhanced Trust Preferred Securities (COF.PRB)
Prospectus excerpt: Capital One Capital II, a Delaware statutory trust, will offer for sale the 7.50% enhanced trust preferred securities (the �Enhanced TRUPS�), each with a $25 liquidation amount, representing undivided preferred beneficial interests in its assets, and will sell to Capital One Financial Corporation common securities representing undivided common beneficial interests in its assets. The trust will use the proceeds from the sale of the Enhanced TRUPS and its common securities to buy an equal principal amount of 7.50% Capital One Financial Corporation junior subordinated debt securities with a maturity date of June 15, 2066. Distributions on the Enhanced TRUPS will be payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on September 15, 2006.
Application will be made to list the Enhanced TRUPS on the New York Stock Exchange. If approved for listing, we expect the Enhanced TRUPS will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange within 30 days after they are first issued.
We can defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities to be owned by the trust as described in this prospectus supplement. If we defer interest payments, the trust also will defer distribution payments on the Enhanced TRUPS. Additional distributions on the Enhanced TRUPS will accumulate on the deferred distributions at an annual rate equal to 7.50%, compounded quarterly, to the extent permitted by law. If we have deferred interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities for a period of more than five consecutive years, we will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell our common stock or, at our option, certain qualified preferred stock, and to pay interest on the junior subordinated debt securities only from the net proceeds of those sales of securities.

Every municipality in the Birmingham-Hoover metro area can join the newly formed Alabama Green Initiative that has been set up to help local governments go after federal environmental money available in President Barack Obama's stimulus package, leaders announced this afternoon.
AGI officers outlined more details of the nonprofit organization, which is chaired by Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford, at a news conference in Hoover.
Each municipality or government agency -- such as a water board, gas board or school board -- can join AGI and will be responsibile for paying annual dues, according to AGI documents.
The dues are $1 per resident a year based on the 2000 census. Birmingham, Hoover and Jefferson County will have a cap of $50,000 in dues, while Bessemer will have a $25,000 cap. Municipalities with 2,000 or fewer residents will have dues capped at $1,500.
The initiative's goal is to help municipalities in Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair and Walker counties target grants from Washington D.C., and Montgomery for environmental-friendly projects that can help the entire region. The organization also will provide some matching funds.

A 46-year-old Dubuque man accused of setting a gas pump ablaze outside a convenience store has been given two years in prison.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald says Richard Huffman was sentenced on Tuesday. Huffman pleaded guilty to a lesser arson charge after making a deal with prosecutors. The judge suspended a $625 fine.
Witnesses say that in December, Hoffman removed a nozzle from a pump at the store, sprayed fuel on the pump and set it aflame.
Police say Huffman reported that he set the fire because the Earth has "too much pollution."
Police also say Huffman was at the police station hours earlier asking to be arrested and admitted to the psychiatric ward at Mercy Medical Center-Dubuque.

7/12 Extra bases
* The Cubs have utilized six rookie pitchers this season who have combined to post a 2.23 ERA (23 ER/92 1/3 IP) in 79 games (four starts) with three saves and 21 holds. The list includes Dallas Beeler, Kyle Hendricks, Neil Ramirez, Zac Rosscup, Brian Schlitter and Tsuyoshi Wada.
* Last Thursday, the Cubs completed a stretch in which three starting pitchers (Beeler, Wada and Hendricks) made their Major league debut in a 13-day stretch starting June 28. According to Elias, it was the first time the Cubs had three starting pitchers make their big league debut in a 13-day span or less for the first time since 1948, when Bob Rush (April 22), Cliff Chambers (April 24) and Dutch McCall (April 27) did so in a six-day span.
* Kris Bryant is on the U.S. roster and Javier Baez is on the World roster for the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on Sunday at Target Field. Both Bryant and Baez play for Triple-A Iowa.
* With two games remaining prior to the All-Star break, the Cubs have a 3.70 team ERA (341 ER/828 2/3 IP). The Cubs last had a lower ERA heading into the break in 1992 when they sported a 3.16 ERA. Last season, the Cubs had a 3.94 ERA at the All-Star break.
* The Cubs are 15-27 in games decided by two runs or less this season. Those 42 close games represent about 46 percent of the games the Cubs have played this year, as the club is 25-25 in 50 games decided by three runs or more.

Planning an event can be very demanding and complex. But it shouldn't be. The event experts at Megaplex Theatres are committed to making your event a flawless reflection of your individuality. Let us remember the details while you get back to being the life and host of the party.
Descriptive Video Services, Rear Window Captioning, and Reserved Wheelchair Seating
Megaplex Theatres offers Descriptive Video Service and Rear Window Captioning for blind, visually-impaired, deaf and hard-of-hearing movie patrons to enhance their movie-going experience. Megaplex is the only theatre company in the area to offer all of these advanced services to their guests.
Blind or visually-impaired guests of Megaplex Theatres check out wireless headsets from the Guest Services desk. The headsets play the Descriptive Video Service (DVS) during the movie. Similar to listening to a book on tape, DVS plays scripted material describing the visual elements of the film which help the guest understand what is happening on the screen - from the scenery to the plot. The movie producer generally fits the DVS soundtrack in natural pauses in the dialogue as not to distract from the film itself.
Open Captioning
Megaplex Theatres offers open captioning for hard of hearing guests for specific screenings at participating Megaplex locations. Open captioning is a movie with subtitles visible on the screen. Open captions contain readable text on the movie screen that include descriptors of dialogue, sound effects and music for the hard of hearing. Even important details such as the set design and costumes that set the tone of a movie are shown as text on the screen. The soundtrack still plays along with the movie, regardless of a person's ability to hear it.
Closed Captioning
Deaf or hard-of-hearing moviegoers can also pick up their Rear Window Captioning (RWC) device at a Megaplex Theatres guest desk. The plastic screen fits into the cup holders between the seats and reflects text captions projected off of the back wall of the theatre. Captions are separate files played through a computer and synchronized with the film. The captions are only viewable to the guests with the RWC screen and are non-intrusive to other guests in the auditorium.
All Megaplex Theatres auditoriums are wheelchair accessible and have designated rows set aside for guests with mobility issues.
South Jordan The District
Lehi Thanksgiving Point
Centerville Legacy Crossing
Ogden The Junction
All Megaplex Theatres auditoriums are wheelchair accessible and have designated rows set aside for guests with mobility issues. These seats may be reserved online, via mobile device, at a ticketing kiosk, or at the Guest Services desk at all Megaplex locations.

Sometimes, the grass really is greener.
When JaVale McGee was traded to the Denver Nuggets mid-season, the opportunity to escape from the highly dysfunctional atmosphere of the Washington Wizards organization and make a new start must truly have been a breath of fresh air.
One hardly need look further than former Wizards beat writer Jay Glassie's scathing takedown of Ted Leonsis and Ernie Grunfeld to understand just how toxic the organizational environment was in Washington. Glassie, who actually quit covering the Wizards because he had gotten so fed up, goes into great detail explaining what he call the "incredible losing culture" of that organization. Many NBA fans are familiar with the headline-making incidents from that time period, most infamously when Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton reportedly pulled guns on each other in the locker room in December 2009, but behavioral and PR issues weren't the only problems going on there. Those seeped deeply into basketball territory as well.
And for a young, raw, immature player in need of structure, discipline and veteran leadership, this clearly was infertile soil to be rooted in. McGee at one point asked Grunfeld "for a big man coach, and Grunfeld said he could have one if he paid for it himself". It's stunning that Washington would spurn cultivating one their most prized young assets, turning their backs on the opportunity to develop his game and facilitate his ambition to improve.
In vivid contrast, the Nuggets have sent McGee (who will soon be joined by Kenneth Faried) to join Amare Stoudemire in a personal training session with Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon. [You can see photos of JaVale and Amare working out with Hakeem on Facebook here]. For McGee, landing in an organization that puts a premium on player development and personalized training is an exciting chance to improve his game and turn around his reputation as the NBA's main source of comic relief.
But what, in his short time with the Nuggets so far, has he made of this opportunity? Has the change of scenery really paid off in terms of him playing better basketball? And can all of this set him on a better track for a brighter future?
In analyzing the changes in McGee's post-trade performance, it's probably important to resist the urge to put too much stock in the statistics. He only played 20 regular season and 7 playoff games with the Nuggets, joining the team amidst the condensed, lockout-shortened season, leaving few opportunities to practice with his new teammates. 20 games is a small sample size, so the numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt. But there are some differences between his Wizards and Nuggets stats which seem big enough at least to suggest that they could be meaningful as signs of things to come in McGee's development.
And before even getting into the numbers, we already have a good deal of anecdotal evidence that JaVale has been improving in Denver. For one thing, he hasn't really contributed any more eye rolling footage to his lengthy blooper reel collection. Although he still looked rather quirky on the court at times (which may partly just be a function of his lanky appearance), he seems to have settled into a less frenetic mode of play.
In his first game with the Nuggets, played at home against the Detroit Pistons on March 21st, McGee played the hero, putting back a game-winning tip-in off a missed Arron Afflalo free throw with 5 seconds remaining. [You can watch the highlight reel I put together of JaVale's first Nuggets game here]. This was an exciting introduction, and seemed to be a harbinger that he could indeed benefit from a new start in Denver.
Then there was his playoff debut against the Los Angeles Lakers. While he wasn't very consistent over the full seven game series, he had two outstanding performances against the formidable Andrew Bynum/Pau Gasol frontcourt in games three (16 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks) and five (21 points, 14 rebounds, 2 blocks), which garnered him recognition and praise on the national stage.
So the smell test reveals some indications that JaVale is getting better, but do the statistics back it up? The answer seems to point mostly to yes, but there is a little on the negative side of the equation as well. McGee's rebounding and shot blocking both declined after being traded. His rebound rates and block rate were slightly down across the board, and he pulled down 1.5 fewer boards and swatted 0.5 fewer blocks per 36 minutes (stats from Basketballl-Reference.com):
There may not be any clear answer for why this part of his game slipped. An easy assumption would be that playing alongside Kenneth Faried might depress his rebounding numbers, but from the 5-man floor units at 82games.com, it appears that he actually spent considerably more time playing alongside Al Harrington than the Manimal, so that wouldn't make much sense. (Unlike former Nugget Marcus Camby, Al has ever been accused of grabbing rebounds from his own teammates – or pretty much anyone else). Another possibility is that playing in a more controlled manner impacted his aggressiveness.
But overall, the differences are small enough that it's hard at this point to chalk them up to much more than the kind of deviation we might expect from sampling error. A few other changes in McGee's game – both good and bad – might also be considered too minimal to read too much into. Both his assist and turnover rates dropped slightly, which is pretty much a wash, and in any event can most likely be attributed to him handling the ball less in general. JaVale's PER slightly increased, from 19.6 to 20.5, and even though his minutes per game dropped quite a bit, from 27.4 to 20.6, his usage rate stayed nearly the same. All of which pretty much adds up to move along, nothing to see here.
Things get much more interesting, however, when we break down McGee's shooting. If you zoom in on the difference in McGee's shot attempts and effective field goal percentage by shot location before and after the trade, it looks on the surface to be a formula for a decrease in his overall shooting efficiency. Jump shots were the only area in which his eFG% increased, but he took less of them. In the other locations (all near the basket), his attempts either increased or held steady, but his eFG% dropped:
Yet despite increasing the percentage on a shot he took less, and decreasing the percentages on the shots he took more, his overall TS% and eFG% actully rose by roughly 5% and 7.8% respectively. Somehow McGee managed to take more shots he got worse at, and fewer shots he got better at – and on top of that, drop his already woeful .500 free throw percentage to a horrific .373 – and still come out of the tunnel shooting more efficiently:
Of course, there's a catch here, which is that those jump shots were so much less efficient to begin with than his inside shots, that even as his jump shot percentages increased and inside shot percentages decreased, a wide gap remained (stats from MySynergySports.com):
In the shot location numbers we looked at earlier, McGee's jumpers decreased by 7% and his combined inside shots increased by 7%. The "cut" and "post-up" categories in the chart above seem to roughly correspond to those differences, and from watching JaVale play I think it's safe to infer that most of his jumpers are taken off post-ups. So the "Differences" columns here confirm a similar picture.
But the red meat is in the points per possession. In Washington, a whopping 32.2% of McGee's shots were post-ups, and yet he was only making them at a clip of 0.71 PPP. His most efficient shot, at 1.35 PPP, was the cut, but he took it only 18.9% of the time. Obviously, in the ideal situation, a player will increase his share of good shots and decrease the bad, but the opposite of this was happening with the Wizards.
After joining the Nuggets, a much better balance was achieved, as cuts replaced post-ups as the shot JaVale took most often (27.7%) and post-ups were reduced to a 25.8% share. And although points per possession dropped from 1.35 to 1.24 on his cuts, that's still highly efficient, and the fact that he was utilizing it much more, combined with the improvement in his post-ups from 0.71 to 0.91 PPP, made all the difference.
Everything about this situation screams that a world of credit must be given to the Denver Nuggets scouting and coaching staff. They clearly knew the exact prescription necessary to maximize McGee's efficiency on the offensive end. They knew if they got him, they could make him better. His transition to Denver was not only a healthy change of environment on the organizational level, it was like a transfer from Greendale Community College to Harvard University in terms of the quality of education and coaching he's receiving.
Given that Masai Ujiri and the Nuggets raised the bar on what to expect from McGee by signing him to a 4-year, $44 million contract, the fact that they seem to have started him on a much better course moving forward is welcome news.
I expect that as he progresses through his first training camp and preseason with the Nuggets, becoming more familiar with his teammates and the system, that much of the slippage in rebounding, blocks and some of his shooting percentages will return to the trajectory they were on over the course of his first 3 ½ seasons in the NBA. Working with Hakeem this summer, and having Andre Miller back around to throw him more of those easy lobs won't hurt, either.
If McGee plays about 27-28 minutes per game next season, I'd figure that 14-15 points, with 8-9 rebounds and 2-2.5 blocks per game, at a PER of around 22, is realistically within reach as his game develops, he becomes more fully integrated into the team, and the Nuggets coaching staff continues to maximize his efficiency.

By The Associated Press
STARKVILLE — New Mississippi State coach Rick Ray added his second player in as many days on Thursday after signing guard Andre Applewhite.
Applewhite is a 6-foot-5 guard from Memphis, Tenn., who averaged 21.3 points and 11.1 rebounds in his senior season of high school. He joins point guard Jacoby Davis in Ray's first signing class.
Ray said in a statement that he was "excited about the future of Andre and his continued development at Mississippi State because he's a willing worker."
Ray continues to rebuild a roster that was decimated by attrition in the offseason. All five starters must be replaced from a Bulldogs' team that finished with a 21-12 record last season.

A New Orleans man who worked for a Harvey business that provided personal care services to Medicaid recipients who were unable to care for themselves was sentenced to four months in prison today by a federal court judge for fraud.
Taurus Robinson, 33, also was placed on four months home confinement after his prison sentence is completed, according to U. S. Attorney Jim Letten's office. Robinson also was ordered by U.S. District Judge L.C. Feldman to pay more than $32,000 in restitution after he was convicted of health care fraud in February.
Authorities said Robinson worked for A New Beginning of New Orleans, a Medicaid provider located in Harvey, and that Robinson falsely created timesheets for services he claimed to have provided Medicaid recipients. According to federal authorities, Medicaid paid the company $32,135 for services that were never performed.
At least eight people have been been charged in the case. From 2001 to 2005, the company made nearly $4 million in fraudulent claims, authorities said.
The case was investigated by the FBI, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Inspector General, and the Louisiana Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Patrice Harris Sullivan, Jordan Ginsberg and G. Dall Kammer prosecuted the case.

Cleveland-area public schools had their two-year run of having at least one state semifinalist come to an end but the streak remains for area private schools.
Garfield Heights and Mentor won Division I regional championships the previous two years. They were the only public schools in The Plain Dealer's seven-county coverage area to reach Columbus since Windham advanced to the Division IV semifinals in 2006. Cleveland Heights made it to the Division I semifinals in 2003.
With St. Edward (Division I), Lake Catholic (II) and St. Peter Chanel (III) advancing this year, it marks the seventh straight year a private school has reached the semifinals.
The area has produced at least three state qualifiers -- public or private -- in eight of the past 13 years.
The area was blanked in 2004 and just one school, Lutheran East, reached Columbus in 2005.
Quadruple double: Does basketball run in the Recker family or what?
Thayne Recker is the star player for Arlington, which plays Berlin Hiland in today's Division IV semifinals. His triplet sisters -- Alivia, Amelia and Anessa -- were part of the Arlington team that won the Division IV state title last week. Yes, the Reckers are quadruplets. Additionally, Andrew Hunter and his sister, Jessica, also play. Oddly, the Arlington girls beat Hiland for the title.
What could have been: Until last week's regional finals, it appeared Middletown (tops in Ohio with seven boys basketball state titles) and St. Vincent-St. Mary (second with six), had a chance to increase their championship totals.
The Middies lost to Fairfield, 62-59, in the Division I regional final in Cincinnati. The Irish lost to Lake Catholic, 65-63, in the Division II regional final in Canton.
Dayton Dunbar (Division II) and Portsmouth (III) have an opportunity to win a fifth state title, which would tie them with Columbus East for third place.
Like father, like: Toledo Whitmer starting guard Luke Hickey is the son of Toledo schools Superintendent Patrick Hickey, and Whitmer coach Bruce Smith is the father of Purdue's Ryne Smith, whose desperation 3-point attempt at the buzzer failed against Kansas in last week's NCAA Tournament.
Deep Dunbar: Undefeated Dunbar, Lake Catholic's opponent in a Division II semifinal Friday, has played in few close games. Only five of its 26 games have been decided by 10 points or less.
Oh, brother: Sophomore Dakota Mathias, whose Elida team eliminated Benedictine in last week's regional semifinals, is following in the footsteps of his older brothers. Dakota, a 6-4 guard, is averaging 12.7 points per game. His older brothers, Dustin and Bo, each scored more than 1,000 points for Elida.
Remembering: It could be a melancholy weekend for several participants at the state semifinals. Cincinnati Summit Country Day star Holden Hertzel lost his father to cancer in November. His teammates served as pallbearers. Ottawa-Glandorf coach Tyson McGlaughlin is assisted by his father, Kevin, who coached Miller City for 19 years and never made it to Columbus. Jayna McGlaughlin (Tyson's mother and Kevin's wife) passed away from cancer in 2003, but Tyson McGlaughlin said he and his father cherish her memory because she was so involved in their athletic careers. Portsmouth star Dion McKinley, the product of a single-parent household, lost his mother in the fall after a long illness.
Tip of the hat: Parma's Jim Demetriu and Brunswick's Bob Walton, who have officiated more than 6,000 high school basketball games between them, were recently inducted into the Lake Erie Basketball Officials Hall of Fame.
Demetriu, a retired Parma school teacher, started officiating in 1965 and has worked numerous sectional, district and regional tournament games, as well as six Senate Athletic League title games.
Walton, a retired American Greetings executive, began officiating in 1969. He worked four state tournaments as well as many postseason tournaments.

I was nicknamed "Hemorrhoid" for the rest of that terrible ordeal. They may call you "Shorty" or "Big Hands", Johnny. Believe me, it's better than being called "Hemorrhoid".
As fate would have it, I was near the end of the line. He had gone through forty guys without comment, but when he probed me, he commented, "Those are some pretty bad hemorrhoids you have there, son." 49 other guys stared at me and thought, "Damn, if I sat on cold concrete a lot or forced large, hard feces on a regular basis, I wouldn't get drafted and have to go to Vietnam. Why didn't I think of that?"
I empathize with poor Johnny. It is scary being singled out during a physical exam. There were 50 of us at my Pre-Army Induction Physical. We lined up wearing nothing but our undershorts. "Drop your drawers and bend over." An Army medic then sheathed his index finger with a prophylactic and probed each of us in turn. He didn't change the prophylactic as he went down the line which was frightening in its own right.
Real Americans only get excited about the Winter Olympics when Team USA crushes those dirty Russians in hockey or when the semi-slutty blond figure skater arranges for a knee-capping of her elegant brunette rival. If they changed the biathlon from cross-country skiing and target shooting to beer drinking and blazing away with an assault weapon at live animals, Olympics TV ratings would go through the roof. Roughly one million Pennsylvanians take to the woods every November to get drunk and shoot at wildlife. Very few speed skate around an oval just for fun.Real Americans are following the NFL Scouting Combine not the Olympics this week. Prospective pro football players gather for physical exams, tests of strength and speed, and personal interviews. The top story this morning on Sports Radio was not some nice American girl winning the gold medal in the freestyle skiing half pipe (whatever that is), but Johnny Manziel measuring out at a mere 5'-11 3/4" at the Combine.
"He is not 6 feet tall! He will never be an elite quarterback!"
"Oh yes, he will. His hands spanned 11". Hand size, not height, is what matters."

If you expected to have more cash on hand than you actually ended up having, you'd change your plans to reflect reality.
Except in Washington. There, some in power seem able to completely ignore both present and past.
A quick refresher course on the rationale for the Bush tax cuts is obviously in order. Just a month after he took office, President George W. Bush, in his weekly radio address, asserted plainly that he wanted to cut taxes because the nation would be running a surplus of $5.6 trillion over the upcoming decade.
"My plan returns about one out of every four dollars of the surplus to the American taxpayers, who created the surplus in the first place. A surplus in tax revenue, after all, means that taxpayers have been overcharged. And usually when you've been overcharged, you expect to get something back."
Bush was wrong. Whether it was bad math or bad faith, whether it was 9/11 or unexpected and unavoidable economic factors, whether it was some of these and something else, the basis for the tax cuts – a gigantic surplus – was an illusion.
Does House Speaker John Boehner not remember this?
Perhaps former Speaker and onetime history professor Newt Gingrich can give the current speaker a little lesson.
Boehner has drawn a line in the sand over budget negotiations. Even one dime in additional revenues would be a tax increase, he says, and no tax increase is acceptable. Ever. For any reason.
Well, that's foolish on its face, but it falls even flatter in this instance. President Obama wants the Bush tax cuts to expire in 2013. Since they were based on a false premise, a wildly inaccurate projection, that should be pretty easy to swallow.
There was no surplus. Taxpayers weren't "overcharged." It's long past time to correct the error.

Environmental Justice Concerns in the Gulf Coast
It has been over 100 days since the explosion of British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon oil rig and we are months into the recovery and clean-up efforts of the largest oil spill in United States history. A new report by Robert Bullard, director of the Environmental Justice Resource Center of Clark Atlanta University, exposes an environmental justice concern regarding the placement of oil spill waste in landfills that border communities of color in the Gulf Coast region.
In his report, Mr. Bullard states "More than half (five out of nine) of the landfills receiving BP oil-spill solid waste are located in communities where people of color comprise a majority of residents living within near the waste facilities. In addition, a significantly large share of the BP oil-spill waste, 24,071 tons out of 39,448 tons (61 percent), is dumped in people of color communities…. The largest amount of BP oil-spill solid waste (14,228 tons) was sent to a landfill in a Florida community where three-fourths of the nearby residents are people of color. Although African Americans make up about 32 percent of Louisiana's population, three of the five approved landfills (60 percent) in the state that received BP oil-spill waste are located in mostly black communities." For more analysis of Mr. Bullard's report, click here for an excellent article by Colorlines.
The disparate impact of the BP oil spill and cleanup efforts on communities of color in the Gulf Coast is stark. As advocates, we are in a unique position to challenge environmental injustice, such as the practice of siting waste facilities in or near communities of color. We have many tools and strategies at our disposal. We previously explored such tools in our two-part series on Environmental Justice Advocacy, Poverty, and Race (Part 1 and Part 2). There is an incredible need for environmental justice advocacy, as evidenced by Mr. Bullard's analysis, and we as legal services advocates should integrate environmental justice cases in our work throughout the country.

D.C. Council Member Wells to Host Job Fair on Friday
WI Web Staff | 5/29/2013, 11:30 p.m.
D.C. Council member Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) will host a job fair in Northwest on Friday, May 31.
The event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the lobby of the Tyler House apartment complex on N. Capitol Street, is free and open to all job seekers.
Prospective employers that will be on site include WMATA, Comcast, Safeway and the city's Department of Employment Services.
Wells, who recently announced his bid for mayor in 2014, organized the fair along with several community groups and officials.
"Creating opportunities for employment and career development continues to be a need in the District," the council member said. "I appreciate the united front that we've developed — with faith leaders, community organizations, civic leaders, and local businesses — to ensure the District's young people have productive outlets and opportunities like this."

Due to some funky scheduling, we celebrated Christmas this weekend at W&L! Even though it's technically not even Thanksgiving yet, I didn't hear any complaints. Everyone got in the Christmas spirit for cocktail parties and nice dinners. It seems like there's a big event going on just about every weekend, and Christmas is definitely one of my favorites. It definitely helps to have exciting weekends to keep us motivated and on the study grind during the week. Most fraternity houses do it big with the decorations–there's a picture of mine.

ISHPEMING - The 2013 Noquemanon Ski Marathon kicks off Thursday for the kids with the annual Torch Light Trek, which is returning to its original location.
The youth ski event will be held at Al Quaal Recreation Area, where it originally started 15 years ago. A short loop will be groomed on the School Trail just east of Birchwiew Elementary School and lit by torch light.
"There will be a wider trail than it has been in the past," said Bob Hendrickson of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. "So the kids can do different types of cross country skiing instead of just shuffling along."

The Torch Light Trek originally started as the children's race for the Noquemanon but was later changed to a free, fun outdoor activity in which children who have never cross country skied before can try it out, Hendrickson said.
There will be a limited number of skies and boots for participants to use for free on a first-come, first-served basis. Adults and children who have their own equipment are encouraged to bring it.
"Last year we had about 130 kids show up and participate," Hendrickson said. "So what we'll do is let the kids take a couple of laps with the rental gear and then give the next kid a chance to try it out. If a kid wants to go again all they have to do is get back in line."
The trek is scheduled from 6 to 7 p.m. and participants are asked to park in the school parking lot. The event is hosted by the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. For more information, contact Hendrickson at 204-0520 or call the hall of fame at 485-6323.

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE I.R.S.Posted on July 29 2010 by admin
On July 26, 2010, the I.R.S. announced a one-time filing relief for small organizations that failed to file informational returns for three consecutive years. This applies only to organizations that can file Form 990-N or Form 990-EZ. Organizations that are required to file Forms 990 or 990-PF are not eligible for this one-time filing relief and their exempt status is automatically revoked if they have failed to file for three years.
The original May 15, 2010 deadline left many organizations at risk of losing their nonprofit status. The I.R.S. determined that there had not been adequate information provided prior to the deadline and that thousands of small organizations were at risk. The new deadline is October 15, 2010. This is a one-time relief program and a needed break for small nonprofits.
If your organization normally has gross receipts less than $25,000, you can retain your status by filing Form 990-N on the I.R.S. website at IRS.gov. This e-Postcard is due every year and cannot be filed until after your year end. The e-Postcard must be filed by the fifteenth day of the fifth month after your year end. A December 31st year end would be due on May 15th.
Per the I.R.S. instructions, completing the e-Postcard requires the eight items listed below:
1. Employer identification number (EIN), also known as a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
2. Tax year
3. Legal name and mailing address
4. Any other names the organization uses
5. Name and address of a principal officer
6. Web site address, if the organization has one
7. Confirmation that the organization's annual gross receipts are normally $25,000 or less
8. If applicable, a statement that the organization has terminated or is terminating (going out of business)
The I.R.S. has plans to send out reminder notices. However, if your address has changed since your last filing, you may not receive this reminder. Again, if you have not filed for three consecutive years, you will loose your exempt status. Income you received after they have revoked your status (for not filing) could be taxable and if you intend to continue as an exempt organization, you will need to reapply for exempt status.
The I.R.S. has posted a list of organizations that have not satisfied annual filing requirements, according to their records. You should check this list to be sure you are not on it! The list is sorted by State and can be downloaded in Acrobat or Excel. If you find your name on the list and you feel that you have satisfied your filing requirements, call the I.R.S. at 1-877-829-5500. The I.R.S. website has information and guidance to insure that you are in compliance and what to do if you are not.
Action is required by October 15, 2010. Take advantage of this extension, if you need to, and be sure that you are in compliance with your filing requirements.

Andrew Luck will be an Indianapolis Colt. Robert Griffin III is headed to Washington to join the Redskins. After that, who knows? The 2012 NFL draft, previously thought to lack intrigue, will get real interesting if the Minnesota Vikings defy conventional wisdom and team needs by passing on Matt Kalil from USC. If that happens, prepare for all sorts of hysteria.
The NFL draft is never an exact science, more like common sense mixed with some logic and a lot of guessing. With that in mind, here is an updated look at every pick by every team in the 2012 draft as we see it happening. This is not a look at what I would do, but my best guess based on team needs, player value and current NFL rumors.

DEPTFORD TWP. — Chances are Mac Barnes and Jaclyn Barnes crossed paths sometime in all the years the two came as kids to Deptford Day.
But even if the lifelong township residents rubbed elbows or caught each other's eye, they'd never have guessed they'd someday bring their daughter to the May festivities.
Yet Sunday marked one-year-old Avery Barnes' first ever Deptford Day. The family's visit to Fasola Park came on the 40th annual event, appropriately themed "40 Years of Family Fun."
Deptford Day includes everything from amusement rides to live bands, to pony rides. First held in 1973, its aim is to inspire a sense of community and local pride. And in some cases, it may foreshadow couples and families to be.
"We're just having a fun family day," Mac Barnes said, keeping an eye on Avery as she chased a purple, inflatable ball in the grass.
"It's really nice that the town puts this on every year.
"It's always a crap shoot as to what the weather's going to be like," Mac said. Sunday's perfect spring temperature held up under a gray, cloudy sky that nevertheless held back from showering the festivities with rain, at least early in the afternoon.
Cool breezes swept across the park as the Barneses hovered near the stage, where rock band Big Twig prepared to play.
"We both used to come here as kids," Mac said of himself and his wife. Their favorite Deptford Day features remain the ice cream and funnel cake, Jaclyn pointed out.
"It's also nice to try to support some of the local organizations, especially the Boy Scouts," Mac added.
"And if she can make it all day," he said, motioning to Avery, "we look forward to the fireworks tonight."
Tricia and Derrick Rountree, also of Deptford, arrived early in the afternoon with their son David. Their first stop was the ponies.
Wide-eyed David rode one around a small course marked off by caution tape stretched between trees. Afterward, his father said this was the family's first visit to the event.
"It seems like a nice day," Derrick said. "There seems to be a lot to do here. We literally just got here."
When asked how he liked the pony ride, little David said only, "One more."
His mother clarified, "One more ride, he says."
There were plenty of other rides to be had. Amusements included the Drop Zone — a tall, undulating slide — and the Twister, the circle of swings that tilt upward and revolve around the center, among others.
Food vendors provided about all the eats one finds at a carnival or on a boardwalk. Other vendors peddled wares ranging from T-shirts to kids' toys.
Live bands played throughout the day, featuring the headliners Cry Wolf Live, a group specializing in Southern rock that performed last, just before the fireworks scheduled display.
A raffle yielded prizes including Phillies tickets, a local hot air balloon ride, a Medieval Times dinner show and many others.
Deptford Day began, as always, with the Al Cunard Memorial Parade, at 10 a.m. The march begins at the township municipal building on Cooper Street and makes its way to Fasola Park for the rest of the festivities.
The parade included three string bands, local fire battalions, the high school marching band and area youth clubs and organizations, among the 70 total entries.
