IN my quest to decide between Stanford and Harvard, I've heard REPEATEDLY that Harvard students just aren't very happy, and most of them are there only for the prestige...
Is this true? Feedback from Harvard students would be awesome...
|By Sac (Sac) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 05:04 pm: Edit
Sorry, Collegeguy, that I'm not a Harvard student. However, I've spent two days on the phone rounding up Harvard students for my S to talk to when he revisits this week, and I can tell you at least that four students have assured their parents they love Harvard. The students I heard about are all studying and playing hard.

HOPEWELL — A Trenton man being held at the Mercer County Correction Center on a murder charge beat up a corrections officer last month until he was unconscious and fell to the floor, then stomped on the officer's head, prosecutors said yesterday.
The officer, James DePalma, is out on medical leave indefinitely as a result of injuries sustained from an assault that occurred in the line of duty, county spokeswoman Julie Willmot said in an e-mail yesterday.
Douglas Battle, 21, was charged with second-degree aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury in connection with the July 19 incident. Battle's attorney said his client and the officer got into a verbal argument but no punches were thrown.
Superior Court Judge Gerald Council set Battle's bail on the assault charge at $50,000.
Battle is being held in lieu of $400,000 bail on murder and weapons offenses after being charged in the June 23 killing of Wilfredo Rivera, 32, at the Rogers Gardens housing complex on Hoffman Avenue.
Prosecutors said Battle was identified by a witness as the man who shot and killed Rivera in an apartment hallway.
Video surveillance from the apartment building shows Battle leaving the
scene shortly after the incident carrying a gun and throwing it in the car, prosecutors said.
Battle maintains his innocence. He told police when he was arrested that while he was at the scene of the crime and had a gun, he did not shoot Rivera.
The shooting was the city's seventh homicide of the year.
Rivera, also known as "Murder Marty," ran out of the building at 517 Hoffman Ave. and into an adjacent building, where he collapsed. He was later found by police and was rushed to the hospital, but he died from the injuries within 30 minutes of being shot.

October 11, 1999
BOTHELL--State Rep. Dave Schmidt (R-44th Dist.) agrees that the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) is "out of control," but said eliminating the MVET under I-695 does not solve the problem. He says it would strip transportation and public safety budgets of essential funds, especially in smaller jurisdictions, and it would require citizens to vote on every little tax increase on the state, county, and local levels, which would "hamstring" governmental processes.
Speaking at a combined meeting held by the Northshore and Woodinville chambers of commerce, Schmidt said he has not yet heard I-695 proponents give a credible answer to one main question: where is the "surplus" they speak of that will fill the budget void created by I-695?
"The state Republican Party endorsed I-695. I am a Republican, but I believe people have to vote for people who will change the MVET, not cripple government with this simplistic, inefficient initiative. Every year since I've been in the House, Republicans have proposed changes in the MVET, but every time, the Democrats have shot it down or the governor has vetoed it.
"Under 695, out of the $30 tab fee, $27.50 will go for the license fee and only $2.50 for the excise tax. That excise tax would be far less than most states in the country. Proponents are ignoring the fact that states with a low license fee excise tax, like Oregon and Montana, get that money from a state income tax, which we don't have."
The obvious conclusion to draw from that comparison, Schmidt suggested: the state would have to institute a state income tax to replace the missing revenue.
"MVET money is all earmarked: 47 percent goes to transportation, 24 percent to local governments for public safety and public health, and 29 percent goes to fund local transit budgets. The smallest jurisdictions get hit hardest by 695: Garfield County gets 40 percent of its annual revenue from MVET, compared to a little over 30 percent for both King and Snohomish [Counties]."
Schmidt said I-695 sponsor Tim Eyman has a very loose concept of the state tax structure and budget, and thus gives the public an unclear picture of monies Eyman claims the state can use to replace the MVET. The I-601 restrictions that created it limit what the state can do with the state's $1.5 billion emergency fund that Eyman calls "surplus," said Scmidt.
If the state had a real emergency, like an earthquake, that fund would disappear overnight. Otherwise, the fund represents less than three years of the $550 million annually lost from the MVET if I-695 passed.
Schmidt reached the same conclusion the Woodinville City Council did on Sept. 27. I-695 would require every jurisdiction to spend so much time and money on public hearings processes and special elections for every minor budget change, every level of government would grind almost to a halt.
"I've been told I know more about elections than any legislator in 20 years," said Schmidt. "As a former county auditor, I know elections are expensive. Every election requires a period of public hearings. For example, even a mid-year, five-cent increase on school milk prices would have to appear on a special ballot, because it involves public money."
Jim Katica, City of Woodinville finance director, said special elections cost between $12-18,000, including the process of mailing voter education materials and holding public hearings.
A handful of Chamber of Commerce members protested loudly about the absence of pro-I-695 speakers. The meeting's moderator reminded the audience that the speakers were asked to address potential I-695 impacts on local governments.
At the Oct. 4 Woodinville City Council meeting, which included a public hearing on I-695, City Manager Pete Rose said his office had sent a registered letter invitation to Eyman, asking him to join King County's Pat Steele at the hearing. A receipt showed the letter was received, but Eyman did not respond. At that meeting, the Woodinville City Council unanimously voiced disapproval of I-695.
"Under I-695, money allocations will be as clogged with competition as 175th St. is at noon," joked Rose. "The most critical Woodinville issue is the ability to move goods and services. We would lose $250,000 (in missing MVET revenue) the first year and $220,000 a year after that. Out of that, about $45,000 goes for criminal justice expenses, the rest goes for transportation."
"Talk radio does very well on 522," said Rose, citing clogged traffic on SR-522 as a big part of Woodinville's transportation problem. If I-695 forces a halt to SR-522 construction, a project okayed by last year's I-49, the state's most clogged highway will not likely experience relief in the near future, he said.
"Loss of road project money will mean bus transportation will be even more important, but bus schedules will be cut, too," said Rose. He said he didn't know what Eyman meant by "surplus" in a July 29th Seattle Times interview.
"We don't have any surplus monies in Woodinville," said Rose. "A carry-over reserve fund is not 'surplus.' If cities save money for Capital Improvement Plan projects, as part of prudent fiscal management, we can't call that surplus."
Kenmore City Manager Steve Anderson said annual MVET revenue of $1.5 million represents 25 percent of the City of Kenmore's income.
"We are a contract city," said Anderson. "Loss of MVET revenue to King County would have a direct impact on our public works and police services. I-695 would mean we would only be able to maintain the 'rural' level of service that we've had from King County. We approved a $594,000 utility tax increase to make up the difference if I-695 passes. It's either that or generate three times our present sales tax revenues."
The Kenmore City Council stipulated that the tax increase would be repealed if I-695 does not pass.
The City of Kenmore will hold "Vision Night," a public hearing on I-695 at Inglemoor High School on Wednesday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m.
"We would lose $330,000 under I-695, with $50,000 of that in criminal justice cuts," said Bothell City Manager Manny Ocampo. "Metro would lose 30 percent of their transportation budget, which translates to a cut of one million hours of service. They said the deepest cuts would be to their suburban, weekend, and special services. The Beardslee project would get severely cut, which would make UW and Cascadia access for 10,000 FTE's (full-time equivalent students) very difficult."
"Approving I-695 would be like taking a meat axe to the arteries of government," said Dave Hutchison, Lake Forest Park City Manager. "Taking away $1.2 million from our general fund would mean losing 28 percent of our revenues."

If she loses her looks somewhat but still gives great sex and isn't mean or crazy, the guy typically stays around.

That, along with a society that tells them they are entitled motivates them to leave. A woman can do pretty well for herself by 30 if she gets divorced a few times to the right men.

TOMS RIVER — The former head of a faith-based military academy for children in New Jersey has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for sharing child pornography over the Internet.
Steven Baryla, 29, of Toms River, must also register as a sex offender under the sentence imposed today. And once he's freed from prison, he will have to serve five years of supervised release.
Baryla had pleaded guilty in January to transporting child pornography over the Internet. He formerly ran the Cedar Bridge Military Academy in Toms River, which admitted children ages 11 to 17.
The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office began investigating Baryla after getting a tip from someone who had been in e-mail contact with him.

SJC Theatre scales new heights in 'Sound of Music' | Review
Having seen most every major theatre performance on San Juan Island since the 70s, I expected Merritt Olsen would have a real doozey for his final production this month.
It is more like a blockbuster.
It is the best thing I've seen on the island since the first lady of American theatre, Helen Hayes, challenged the community in 1985: "With talents like these on this island, the least you can do is put a roof over their heads."
She was speaking from the stage of the old Royal film theatre, which closed down its films during those periods when live theatre performed.
Thanks to the fact that Paul and Lu Whittier donated the land and matched fundraising to the tune of $500,000, the San Juan Community Theatre and Arts Center opened in June 30, 1989. The community has since backed every type of talent that took the stage.
It has been wonderful, but we wondered how it was going to go without the direction of Merritt Olsen, who has been at the helm for 12 years. Not to worry.
Everyone wanted to attend, enjoy and participate in what Merritt calls his "Last Hurrah."
First off, the musical score of "Sound Of Music" has never been better than that performed in the orchestra pit opening night, under the leadership of musical director Jim Collado. Kudos to Bridget Wegemer, Dennis Willows, Sue Collado, George Johnson, Matt Frost, Janet Olsen, Jim Vedder, Jonathan Piff, Rob Simpson, Grace Willows, Tom Grauman, Ken Baker, Patty Francisco and Pam Stewart.
Just as they are hidden, so also are those who worked on the sets: 11 scenes in Act I and another five in Act II.
That makes a total of at least 45 friends and neighbors on stage and and equal number of behind-the-scenes participants who make this great show happen.
I don't have room to describe all of the masterful theatrical touches Olsen used in staging this musical, let alone mention each dresser, artist, lighting control involved. You'll just have to go see for yourself and check it out in the program.
You won't regret it as the years go by, remembering this great showing during the rest of this month.
I do have room to mention that George Iliff, as Captain Von Trapp, and Jill Urbach, as Mariah, could have filled in for Julie Andrews, and the other Van Trapps who were on Broadway, and no one would have known the difference. They are superb.
As for the kids in the Von Trapp family: Julie Hagn, Matthew Stepita, Courtney Bell, Ryan Crawford, Joely Loucks, Else Aret and Lucy Marinkovich, the way they sang and were choreographed was as good as any 'Sound' show I have seen, either on stage or on screen.
Merritt Magic indeed.
Don't let this one get away, guys and gals. It's worth every nickel.

Objects in mirror are larger than they appear.
Hearings have begun for the former Vice-Mayor of a Tennessee town accused of masturbating out of his open car window while speeding down the Interstate.
William Blakely, 30, was arrested in February after another driver claimed he had "fondled himself" and tried to get her to lift up her shirt while he was driving next to her, the Bristol Herald Courier reported.
The woman also noted that the man was "looking directly at her and smiling as he drove," according to a police report obtained by the Times News.
The woman did not know Blakely previously, but identified him from a photo lineup, according to the report.
Blakely had previously been an alderman and vice mayor for the town of Mount Carmel.
The man's preliminary hearing took place Thursday, when three different women testified against him, WJHL reported.
"He was taking his hand, wetting his mouth, and masturbating," witness Deborah Sturgill told the court. "At over 90 mph, he had his penis out [the window].
Detective Terry Christian told the station that each of the three women had been in separate cars and did not know one another, but they each gave "the same story."
Christian added that his department has received "dozens" of calls complaining about Blakely's behavior over the past three to four years.
Blakely is facing charges of indecent exposure, reckless endangerment, and attempt to commit aggravated assault.

Wire Report | 4/10/2012, 4:55 p.m.
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is expected to announce suspension his campaign, according to reports.
Santorum has reportedly spoken to GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney and an additional source has said that Santorum, his wife, and campaign manager held a conference call with staff April 10, advising them not to grow discouraged.
"We are going to stay involved and stay active in the next couple of months," Santorum said, according to the source.
Another source said family and political reasons are major factors for Santorum's decision, adding that the candidate will lay out explicit reasons in the press conference.
The announcement comes after the former Pennsylvania senator took a four-day break from the campaign to spend time with his hospitalized three-year-old daughter, who suffers from a serious chromosomal condition that interferes with development.
His daughter, Bella, was released from the hospital late Monday night.

Turning wheel aerodynamics upside down.
Reynolds is using what it calls Dispersive Effect Termination (DET) on the Aero 58 Wheelset to eliminate the drag-increasing balloon effect caused by tires being wider than rims. This delivers an aerodynamic benefit, increases lateral rigidity, increases your comfort, and decreases rolling resistance. The Aero focuses on mitigating turbulence, not accepting it like other manufacturers do. Testing performed at the A2 Wind Tunnel shows the Aero experiencing less drag in watts at 30.75mph, at every conceivable yaw angle (0-18 degrees), than any offerings from Zipp, ENVE, HED, and Easton.
This means that the Aero's handling "sweet spot" is extended to a window of 7.5 degrees higher than the competition. One of the most amazing things about this new design is that as you go faster you don't have to exert as much energy to propel yourself forward—the design starts to feed off the drag itself.
Reynolds believes that every wheel needs to follow four engineering guidelines. The wheel must be lightweight, yet structurally sound. It must reduce turbulent airflow in order to create a low-drag system. The aerodynamic efforts cannot compromise the steering and handling of the bike, and the wheel must generate an aerodynamic advantage from its lift-drag ratio.

- Crynogenic Glass Transition Braking System
- Cyro Blue brake pads
- Either Shimano or Campagnolo 11-speed freehub compatibility

Great Wheel set
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned the Aero 58's for a little over a year. They have been exceptional. Rugged, fast and stable. My first bike was a Fuji GranFondo 2.1 and the bike fit expert at Faster in Scottsdale recommended the Aero 58's. I had been using the Dura Ace C35's. The Aero 58's are actually lighter than the C35's and incredibly smooth riding. I'm a large rider, 6'4" and 90kg. These wheels are extremely stable in crosswinds up to 25mph. I've only felt a slight push at the front with very strong wind gusts we sometimes get in the Phoenix area.
The only downside of these wheels versus my C35's are in downhill braking. The Reynolds stop well enough but as the braking surface heats up on steep downhill sections requiring lots of braking, the brake squeal becomes very loud.
As others have mentioned it takes a few minutes to reset the brake calipers with the Reynolds pads and adjust for the wider rims each time I change wheels.
That said, I would not trade my Aero 58's and use them for 80% of my riding. I've recently upgraded to a Pinarello Dogma F8 and am anxious to see how the Reynolds ride with this bike.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
In short, amazing. Ermugerd. I've had the opportunity to demo the 58 Aeros a few times, and two things really stand out: These wheels are just ridiculously, almost shockingly fast. And they are hands down the most stable aero wheel I've ever ridden in cross winds.
Off the line, they wind up quickly, especially for such a deep rim, and once they get up to speed they just want to keep rolling. It's noticeable on flats for sure, and kind of punches you in the face on descents. I'm a tiny climber with an affinity for compact gearing, so going downhill fast isn't exactly in my wheelhouse without a lot of effort, but these wheels are like rockets. They allowed me to keep up with, and coast past (!!!) much larger riders on some screaming descents that had my little 50T chainring completely spun out. Even on other similarly deep wheels, this doesn't happen. People noticed, and it was awesome.
In the wind, these wheels are unbelievably stable. Again, tiny climber means getting buffeted around a lot in the wind, so usually wheels this deep are off the table for me on windy days. Not so with these. They managed a particularly windy day in the Southern Utah desert beautifully. You can feel the wind push, of course, but the front wheel just stays true. No weird wheel wobble or frantic counter steering to stay on the road, just solid, confident lines.
Also, they corner on rails. I paired them with Vittoria G+ Corsa tires, and would love to rock that combo on a super technical crit course.
I was so impressed with Reynolds' design that after just three days of test riding on the 58 Aeros, I sent in an order for two sets of 46 Aeros (having one set in a household of two cyclists just wasn't going to end well). Same overall characteristics and awesomeness as the 58, just a little bit shallower rim depth to serve as an all-around daily wheelset in the mountains. The 58s can definitely hold their own on the big climbs though, so if I lived somewhere slightly less mountainous or end up with a second set of wheels, these are at the top of the list.
Stiff, check. Fast, check.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Reynolds 58 Aeros are an amazing wheelset. I've ridden these quite a bit and have been impressed with how stiff they are. Stand up and go. I also tend to ride 'stupid' and find myself hitting potholes and things I shouldn't be riding over. I've put 5k miles on these and have not had to touch them yet. Straight as an arrow. The Braking surface is exceptional and when you want to stop- you'll stop. High quality hubs (DT 240s) put the icing on the cake. If you are considering a fast wheel- try the Reynolds, you'll love them.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Having ridden and owned wheels from every major manufacturer around right now, Reynolds makes the only wheels that make my bikes feel like home.
The Aero 58 is the best mid-deep section wheel out there; beyond being stiffer and lighter than everything else in this category, they also handle far better than any competitor.
Add to all of this, DT Swiss 240 hub internals, and you have one of, if not the best wheelset money can buy.

Hoooo Waaaa! Hooo Waaa!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Upgraded to a set of Reynolds 58 Aero's on a 2-13 Trek Madone 5.2. I'm Running 700 x 23 Continental Gatorskins because I primarily ride in the west Phoenix desert and deal with cactus spikes. The Gatorskins have been flawless. A pure race tire will shave a tad more weight and add some performance at race speeds but Ill take the trade in outright flat protection.
The bike and ride have been totally transformed. In addition to a noticeable significant weight savings from the already decent stock wheels, there is also a noticeable difference in speed. Although these are are very deep wheels cross winds seem to affect them less than the stock ones. The stock Reynolds free hub on this set is set up for SRAM/Shimano 11 speed cassette. My particular 2013 Madone 5.2 runs a 10 speed. I am running an 11/25. This set up requires the use of a 1mm spacer. All carbon wheels require carbon specific brake pads. After changing out the brake pads both calipers required readjusting to accommodate the 58 Aero's slightly different dimensions. The whole process took 30 minutes. Carbon wheels are not a necessity and are likely the most expensive upgrade one does for a bike. But if you are serious about your riding and bike regardless, this is the one upgrade that will do more for your bikes outright performance than anything else. Wether you race or not these wheels are worth every dime!
Whats Your weight and would You still recommend these wheels after 2 years? :)

|Bernard Haisch, Dr. Louis Turi
Astrophysicist Dr. Bernard Haisch presented his views which offer a bridge between science and spirituality. Arguing that the universe was brought about by an "infinite intelligence," he believes this intelligence's purpose is to experience and enrich itself through its various aspects and life forms. Further, we are not disconnected from this intelligence, but a part of it, he said.
The ideas of this intelligence become laws of a given universe, and then these laws take over, setting up certain parameters, Haisch explained, adding that other universes might be bound by different factors besides space and time. He also discussed his study of the Zero Point Field, a residual amount of quantum electromagnetic energy that exists everywhere in the universe. Some esoteric spiritual theories regarding the creation of mass can be speculatively connected to this, he noted.
One of Haisch's projects is the Digital Universe, an attempt to link together valid and credible information on the Internet in order to create a kind of "Encyclopedia Galactica."
Dr. Turi Update
First hour guest, astropsychologist and seer Dr. Louis Turi shared his latest set of predictions for July and August 2006. The dates are listed below along with his "keywords" for events:
- July 23rd - Hurricane, tornadoes, thousands of people forced to relocate
- August 1st - Police and terrorism, dramatic news
- August 9th - Explosions, earthquakes and nuke news
- August 19th - Hurricane, tornadoes, thousands of people forced to relocate
Dr. Turi also expressed concern over the safety of the Shuttle astronauts on their current mission and said they could be in serious trouble.

Jessie Powell
Jessie Brown Beard Powell peacefully entered the Kingdom of God in her beloved home, Travellers Repose, on Sunday, June 2, 2013. Born May 6, 1915, she was 98. Surrounded by family and friends, her life-long wish of living and dying in the home and room she was born in was fulfilled.
She is the daughter of the late Brown Buren Beard and Nellie Blanche Beard of Bartow.
The lessons of growing up on the family farm with a strong work ethic, a love of the mountains and the people who lived among them, carried her through a long and colorful life. Jessie attended a two-room schoolhouse in Bartow, Durbin Junior High School and was valedictorian of the 1932 class of Greenbank High School. She graduated from West Virginian Wesleyan in 1936 and taught at Marlinton High School for six years, where she met her future husband, William W. Powell, whom she married on Nov. 29, 1941. Raising a family and travelling the world as a military wife, she longed to return to her West Virginia and live on the farm where her roots were firmly planted. Upon Bill's retirement from the U.S. Navy, Bartow became her home again. From 1962 to 1995, she owned and managed the Cass Country Store at the Cass Scenic Railroad. Known far and wide for her meticulous knowledge of local history and her love of Pocahontas County, her stories will be long remembered and she will be greatly missed.
Jessie Brown Beard Powell is survived by her three daughters, Susan Powell Leister and her husband, Dennis Earl Leister, of Rockville, Md., Jane Beard Powell and her husband, Ronald Kemnitzer, of Roanoke, Va., and Jessica Ann Brown Cheatham of West Palm Beach, Fla. She is survived by five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, all of whom she was most proud of and considered to be her greatest blessing.
The family is grateful to all who supported Jessie in her final years with visits, cards, prayers and love. Words cannot describe the overwhelming love, care and support of her daily caregivers, Susie Lambert, Amanda Moyers, Tamsyn Hall, Autumn Ryder, Savannah Lambert, Whitney Beverage and Pat and Ronnie Mallow. We will be forever grateful for your loving care and kindness.
The family will receive visitors from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 7, at Wallace & Wallace Funeral Home in Arbovale. The funeral service will be conducted there at 2 p.m. Saturday with the Rev. David Rittenhouse officiating. Interment will follow in Arbovale Cemetery.
Wallace & Wallace Funeral Home in Lewisburg is in charge of arrangements. Please send online condolences by visiting www.WallaceandWallaceFH.com.

A Week in Culture: Happy Menocal, Artist
March 26, 2013 | by Happy Menocal
1 A.M. Go to bed with Mason Currey's Daily Rituals, a book about the work habits of famous artists, writers, philosophers, musicians, etc. Resolve to have a regimented, productive day tomorrow. All these people seem to subsist on coffee and alcohol and amphetamines. I feel like a toddler with my juice and crackers and noodles.
7:45 A.M. Begin work on a little ad that's due today for Stubbs & Wootton—fancy slippers made in Spain. It's for a promotion they're doing during the Ides of March. Someone at the company started the e-mail chain for the ad with the subject line "Eyes of March," and I kinda want to do the visual about that. Decide instead to just paint Caesar, wearing the slippers, looking warily over his shoulder. I google "man sitting on column" because I want Caesar to be sitting on a crumbled stump of a column, and find this devil dog.
My husband and I puzzle over where our two thousand terrible black umbrellas have gone, as now it's raining and we have only one. He doesn't bring it up this morning, but most times when we're on the subject John likes to note that the pebbled plastic hook on the common street umbrella reminds him of that embalming tool they used in ancient Egypt to take your brain out through your nose.

A Week in Culture: Carlene Bauer, Writer
February 5, 2013 | by Carlene Baeur
Tonight I went to my first Spanish class at Idlewild on Nineteenth Street. 7:30 to 9 P.M.. When I signed up for this class in November, shortly after I came back from spending a few weeks in Barcelona, I was flush with the joy of recent travel, and intent on injecting some novelty, intellectual and otherwise, into my life. I had an idea that I might try to make it back to Spain at the end of this year, and if that happened, I'd like to be able to do more than buy a few peaches without tripping over my tongue, or wanting to revert to French, the only other foreign language I know. And if that never happened, I would at least be doing something to forestall dementia. But as the intervening weeks, growing colder and darker, put more and more distance between me and that trip—I dreamed that, didn't I?—I started to wonder why I'd done such a thing. It seemed as unnecessary and out of character as signing up for ten colonics through Groupon. But when, after the fifteen of us had gathered in a circle in the back of the store, and the teacher welcomed us in Spanish, something in me quickened in response to hearing the language. Maybe it was just sound as souvenir, but some sleeping dog in me perked up. Something similar had happened back in Barcelona, while standing in the La Central bookstore, looking at all the books I wanted to read but could not, feeling a strange urgency to get the key that would unlock what lay between those covers, a strange feeling that this was a language I needed to know deeper.

Lawmakers: Marriage equality a long way away in PA
A group in Pennsylvania is marching to New Jersey to "bridge the gap" for marriage equality.
But depending on who you ask, this issue may not be settled anytime soon in the Keystone State.
The group marched down Northampton Street Thursday night
Once members are across the bridge, three same-sex marriages took place in Phillipsburg, NJ
Meantime, state representatives on both sides of the issue are prepared for a long battle. on the issue.
House bill 1647, legislation to repeal Pennsylvania's defense of marriage act, was introduced in September, but since then the legislation has been in the judiciary committee.
"You don't introduce legislation and expect it to pass overnight," said PA Representative Mike Schlossberg, representing Lehigh County. "Legislation takes session, upon session, sometimes more than a decade before it really becomes law."
Some in Harrisburg feel the fight over same-sex marriages may continue even beyond that.
"As far as I can see there's no bipartisan support to change Pennsylvania's defense of marriage act," said PA representative Mark Gillen, representing Berks county.
Fourteen state representatives including Lehigh County's Mike Schlossberg sponsored the bill.
Schlossberg says 15 states have already approved marriage equality and it's time for Pennsylvania to do the same.
Not everyone agrees.
"This legislature is not going to embrace nor pass something that tears at the bedrock of our culture and that is traditional marriage," added Gillen.
"I don't see how my marriage is effected even slightly by the marriage of two men or two women," said Schlossberg.
Representative Schlossberg says it could take years for the legislation to pass maybe even a decade.
Representative Gillen says he can't predict what will happen a generation from now, but he doesn't see this bill passing in 2013 or 2014.

"I like to think it is going to be a great opportunity for us," he said.
Dewey smokes meats outside of the restaurant on Remembrance Road for the restaurant and the catering business he runs as well. As the meat smokes, the smell often draws customers into the restaurant, he said.
"There will be lots of construction workers in the area who are looking for a place to eat a lunch and all we can hope is that they come here," Dewey said.
This summer, the city of Walker will put the eastern half mile of Remembrance Road from Walker Village Drive to Leonard Street on a "road diet" and reduce the four- and five-lane road to three lanes -- one traffic lane in each direction with a center turn lane. A 5-foot-wide nonmotorized pathway will be built on the outside of each traffic lane.
The project will also rebuild the intersection of Remembrance Road and Leonard Street. The cost of the project is $1.3 million and will be paid for from the city's general fund.
Dewey said he is concerned about where the new sidewalks will be built in front of his restaurant as he doesn't want to lose any of the parking spaces. But he thinks the new road will be a boon to his and other businesses on that stretch of road. "I think when the road is done, it will be easier to get in and out of our restaurant and other businesses in the area," he said. "It will also make the area look much nicer."
This summer's project is the first phase of what the city hopes is a three-phase effort to shrink the roadway the entire length of Remembrance from Leonard Street to Wilson Road.
City engineers say the number of cars using Remembrance Road daily has dropped dramatically from highs in the 1990s to the point now that there is no longer the need for a road four lanes wide. By reducing the traffic lanes there will be more room for nonmotorized vehicles.
Construction is set to begin by June 1 and be completed by the end of September, according to City Engineer Scott Conners.
The main change drivers will see at the intersection of Leonard Street and Remembrance Road is the removal of the "slip" lane for eastbound drivers on Leonard Street turning onto Remembrance. There will still be a dedicated right-turn lane but drivers will have to stop for the traffic signal when directed to do so. The intersection will be realigned for better traffic flow in each direction.
The light at Walker Village Drive will be removed. Conners said that since the D&W Store closed a number of years ago in Walker Village, the light has been in flashing mode. "Right now the light is not needed," Conners said. "If the former D&W building is redeveloped and the light is needed we will put it back up."
Commission members expressed their concerns about how and where pedestrians in the Walker Village area will cross Remembrance Road. Conners said for the time being, the pedestrian crossing at Walker Village Drive will be restriped. "As pedestrians have to cross fewer lanes of traffic they should have an easier time crossing after the road is rebuilt," Conners said.
The city will hold a construction open house on the project before construction begins so residents and businesses in the area can be informed as to the construction schedule.

|[TowerTalk] FALLING TOWER RADIUS
|firstname.lastname@example.com (T. A. Russell)
|Fri, 04 Apr 1997 23:09:59 EST
Years ago, I recall seeing a picture (in the NCJ?) of a fallen 100 ft tower. It was guyed at three levels to an equalizer plate at a single anchor. The large equilizer plate BOLT failed, freeing all three guys on one side. It folded over from the base. FINAL EXAM QUESTION: What was the radius of potential ground damage? (Hint: The tower did NOT buckle.) Oh yes, there were NO safety loops around the equilizer plates. (For my big towers, I use TWO anchors for each leg, bottom two guys to first anchor at 60 ft out, top guys to second at 90 ft out.) Whenever possible, never rely on ONE of anything for safety... or add a healthy safety margin.) de Tom N4KG -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: firstname.lastname@example.com Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com Problems: email@example.com

A former assistant football coach at St. Peter's College and Hudson Catholic High School has been arrested on charges he molested a 14-year-girl and he is being held on a $500,000 bail, officials said today.
Enrique Pizarro, 37, of Hoboken, is charged with aggravated sexual assault, child abuse and endangering the welfare of a child, Hudson County Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor Debra Simon said.
He was arrested on Dec. 15 for the alleged crimes prosecutors say occurred from late 2009 through Thanksgiving Day 2011, Simon said.
In 2008 Pizarro pleaded guilty to child abuse for a crime involving the same girl, who was about 11 years old at the time, Simon said. He was sentence to a one-year period of probation which ended in May 2010, Simon said.

Enrique Pizarro was an offensive and defensive standout for Hoboken High School and helped the school's football team reach two state championship games while he was a player.
Enrique Pizarro's last known employment was with Complete QB, which offers football camps nationwide. Today a woman who answered the phone at Complete QB said he no longer works for the organization.
Enrique Pizarro faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, Simon said, adding that Yolanda faces up to 10 years if convicted. Enrique remains in Hudson County jail in Kearny, jail officials said, adding that his wife was she was released on Dec. 16 after posting a $75,000 bail.

Biography Edit
Early life Edit
Vincent van Gogh was born in 1853.
At an young age, he was sent to France by his brother Theo to gain experience by possibly meeting other painters of his time. He eventually ended up alone. He gained a reputation among the locals of Auvers-sur-Oise as a madman and drunkard. He tried to sell his paintings to buy drinks, but without success.(TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
Meeting the Doctor Edit
Van Gogh met the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond in 1890. He commented on Amy's beauty and accepted her offer to share a bottle of wine. They were interrupted by locals. A young girl had been found dead. When the Doctor, van Gogh and Amy tried to help her, the girl's mother blamed Vincent for her death and drove him away by throwing stones. Vincent allowed the Doctor and Amy to stay in his home, which was cluttered with paintings he thought worthless. Later, when Amy was attacked by the Krafayis, a seemingly invisible creature, Vincent could see it, allowing him to save Amy and the Doctor.
With some persuasion from Amy and the Doctor, Vincent agreed to help them stop the Krafayis from killing again. However, before they left for the church, Vincent broke down, weeping that like everyone else, Amy and the Doctor would leave and he would be forgotten and alone. When the Doctor tried to empathise, Vincent grew angry and ordered him out. After calming down, Vincent again agreed to help the Doctor, saying that if Amy could soldier on, so could he. As the three of them walked, he told her he could tell she was heartbroken, though she could not.
When they reached the church, he began to paint, despite interruptions from the Doctor. After several hours he spotted the creature in one of the church's windows.
When the Krafayis charged on the three, Vincent tried to ward off the creature with his easel. However, it impaled itself on it.
Before the Doctor and Amy left, Vincent admitted that without them, his life would take a downwards turn. The Doctor took Vincent to 2010 to a van Gogh exhibit. Dr Black called him the greatest artist of all time, a man who turned the sorrows of life into the most beautiful art the world had ever seen. Black's description of him as not only the greatest artist but also one of the greatest men of all time reduced Vincent to tears. He thanked Dr Black, who for a moment suspected whom he had just met. Returned to his own time, Vincent thanked the Doctor and unsuccessfully proposed marriage to Amy. He said that he had a new found respect for life. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
Later life Edit
Soon afterwards, however, Vincent came under the care of Dr. Gachet as his fears were realised: his mental health deteriorated further. In his last year he was affected by the transmission of the warning signal of Stonehenge about the Pandorica and was plagued with visions of the Doctor's TARDIS exploding. He painted the subject in The Pandorica Opens, which after thousands of years, ended up in River Song's possession. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)
After returning Vincent to his own time, the Doctor and Amy went back to the exhibit in 2010. They found that, despite their efforts, Vincent still had killed himself at the age of 37. Amy was distraught at having failed to change Vincent's life, but the Doctor assured her that they had made some difference. They saw that the Sunflowers, inspired by Amy in 1890, had been changed and dedicated "for Amy". (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
On 27 July, 1890, Vincent shot himself. He died two days later. [source needed]
Works Edit
- Van Gogh painted a portrait of himself. In 1909, it was kept in the Galerie d'Art de Parisiennes. (COMIC: Gallery)
- The Doctor was given a sketch of the Krafayis by van Gogh to identify the creature. Van Gogh had to paint over one of his paintings of irises to make the sketch. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
- At some point, Van Gogh met the Doctor and painted a portrait of him. As the Sixth Doctor had the painting in his possession, the painting could not have depicted any incarnation past his sixth. (COMIC: Changes)
References Edit
- Craig Owens had a postcard for the van Gogh exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay on his fridge. (TV: The Lodger)
- Harry Sullivan attended an exhibition of van Gogh's work and met a young woman named Samantha there. Sullivan was later linked to the van Gogh Appreciation Society (a front for the European Anarchist Revolution) and its leader, Zbigniew Brodsky. (PROSE: Harry Sullivan's War)
- Peri Brown was able to identify his works. (COMIC: Changes)
- On his travels, the Monk, a renegade Time Lord, acquired two paintings by van Gogh which had been lost to history. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars)

Behind the scenes Edit
- According to The Brilliant Book 2012, a book that contains non-narrative based information, in an alternate universe where all of history happened at once, van Gogh was available on social-networking sites. Cleopatra was a fan of his.

FREEHOLD BOROUGH – Authorities are warning residents of two phone scams circulating in the area, one targeting grandparents.
Police said they have received reports of the scams in the past several months.
In the grandparents scam, police said the callers gather information from social media and other sources and then contact grandparents claiming to be their grandchild.
The scammers then tell the grandparents that money is needed for bail or other emergencies, police said.
In the other scam, callers claim to be a representative from the Internal Revenue Service, police said. The scammer tells the victim that the IRS has been attempting to collect owed taxes for the past three years, totaling $9,000, police said.
The scammer also tells the victim that if they are willing to pay $3,000 the government would forgive the remaining balance, police said.
"The callers use high pressure tactics and insist that the money must be paid that day," police said in a press release.
In one case, the caller threatened the victim that they would be charged with three crimes and face nine years in prison, police said. That victim reported the incident to police and did not give any money out, authorities said.
Police also said the IRS has warned others about this scam on their website and offered tips on what to do if they believe they were a victim of the scam.
"The Freehold Borough Police Department would like to inform our residents that these phone scams are becoming more and more common," the release said. "If you receive a call you feel is suspicious, contact the IRS. If it turns out that the call was invalid, please file a report with us as well."
Police said anyone with questions or believe they have been victimized can contact Detective Sgt. Andrew DeMuth Jr. at 732-462-1233.

State of schools keeps improving
By MARGO HORNER, The Mirror
Despite increasing challenges such as poverty and language barriers, schools in Federal Way continue to improve, superintendent Tom Murphy said in his annual State of the District Address.
Murphy spoke about schools to a packed and attentive audience at the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce meeting Jan. 9.
Nearly 50 percent of Federal Way students now qualify for free and reduced lunches, and more than half of the students are non-white, Murphy said. The number of languages spoken by families in the district has increased to 105. One-third of kindergarten students qualify for English language support.
Im grateful that your professional staff views these changing demographics not as obstacles, but as challenges and that during these rapidly changing times no one, no one has backed off of our commitment to every student, Murphy said.
In the face of these challenges, we are not wavering from our mission for all students and we are moving forward, he said. In Federal Way Public Schools, all truly means all.
After discussing some of the challenges faced by school officials, Murphy told the crowd about many of the districts achievements.
Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) scores have improved in many areas and continue to be slightly higher than the state average.
Many graduates from Federal Way schools have gone on to attend prestigious universities as Brown, Cornell, Duke, Princeton and Stanford, Murphy said.
Some of the districts new programs include the Technology Access Foundation (TAF) Academy, a kindergarten through eighth-grade program at Woodmont Elementary, Algebraic Thinking math curriculum, the Collegeboard Springboard program and the Cambridge Checkpoint Academy.
Also in the past year, the district received a number of recognitions for environmental stewardship and efforts to protect student and staff health. A $149 million construction bond passed, and the district won its fair funding lawsuit against the state.
Murphy encouraged the crowd to support the upcoming levy on Feb. 19 and thanked the community for supporting the schools.
Vital, outstanding communities, ones which attract and keep businesses, support their schools, he said.

HAMILTON — The Notre Dame High School baseball team knew this day was going to come sooner or later.
After all, you can only maintain a 10.3 per-game run differential for so long.
But the Irish knew their first close game of the season would represent an opportunity to test their mettle.
"We've been happy with our 10-run wins, but we were looking forward to showing what we could do in a close game," Irish shortstop Jamie Galazin said.
It doesn't get much closer than in did yesterday in the latest installment of perhaps the best rivalry in the Colonial Valley Conference between Notre Dame and Steinert.
With the tying run standing 90 feet away on third base, Irish reliever Conner Lafferty got Austin Constantini to pop out to Galazin at shortstop as Notre Dame managed to hold on for a 5-4 win Monday at Rich Giallella Field.
"Steinert's set the standard for winning and baseball in the CVC," Notre Dame head coach Joe Drulis said. "They have a winning record against every team in the league. But Notre Dame's beat them the most. Fortunately we were able to do it again today."
Notre Dame got five solid innings from starter Enzo Esposito, who moved to 3-0 season with the win. The southpaw allowed just one hit — the Spartans' lone hit of the afternoon — and two runs and struck out six. Esposito, bound for Millersville (Pa.) next year, retired the first six batters he faced in order before running into a bit of turbulence in the third in walking three straight batters to load the bases.
He issued a fourth walk to Eddie Ashley, forcing in a run, but rebounded by inducing a fielder's choice to cut down a runner at the plate. Anthony Peroni followed with an RBI groundout, and Esposito got out of the jam by getting John Mostrangelo to ground out to second.
"That's been a thing for me at times," Esposito said of the walks. "Usually when that happens, I fortunately have found ways to get out of it. But I can't keep letting that happen, because you can't expect to get out of it every single time. That's something that can really hurt our team."
The Irish offense got those runs back in the fourth, however, as Notre Dame used an infield single, a two-base throwing error and a groundout to push two runs across.
Steinert did an excellent job of limiting Notre Dame's offensive opportunities early on, getting inning-ending double plays in the second, third and fourth.
The double plays went a long way toward the Spartans' offensive woes on the afternoon.
Steinert managed just one hit — an infield-bunt single by Jeff Mattonelli in the third — and only had one ball reach the outfield, a fly out to right field off Ben Podgurski's bat in the sixth inning.
The speedy Mattonelli reached on a leadoff walk in the fifth but Esposito caught him straying too far away from first. Esposito picked him off and followed with two quick strikeouts to finish his outing after 107 pitches.
Don Walsh went 2-for-3 with an RBI, Galazin went 2-for-4 with two runs and Jeremy Keegan went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI for Notre Dame, which has another big showdown with WW-P South tomorrow.
"We came in expecting to hit the ball a little better than we did today," Galazin said. "We still got nine hits, but we didn't get the amount of runs that we're used to. It was big that we still managed to pull it out."

High debt, little work for youth in era of 'complexity and uncertainty:' report
Law student Jessica Magalios poses for a photo at UBC in Vancouver on Oct. 1. — Photo by The Canadian Press
Crippling debt and high unemployment are key problems plaguing Canada's youth in today's climate of "complexity and uncertainty," suggests a new report.
Community Foundations of Canada zeroed in on youth issues in its annual report, which offers a snapshot into the quality of life in communities across the country. Fourteen community foundations across Canada launched their own local reports on Tuesday.
Gathering data from various sources, the national report highlights key economical, educational and societal factors affecting young people.
The average debtload for Canadian students is in the $20,000 to $30,000 range across the country and accruing debt may affect the ability of students to complete their studies, the report noted, leading to a delay or break from school to join the workforce.
Meanwhile, students looking for work to pay off debt often face grim job prospects. One out of three grads aged 25-to-29 with a college or university diploma moved into low-skilled work after finishing school, the report noted. And in June, the youth unemployment rate was at 14.8 per cent — more than double the national average.
The linear path previous generations experienced transitioning from home to school to career and family is being "dismantled," said Ian Bird, president and CEO of Community Foundations of Canada. Bird describes the "new normal" as "much more uncertain" and "way more fragmented."
"Whereas a previous generation would have come through their younger years with little debt and significant opportunities for work built out of their access to education, what we see now is quite the opposite," he said from Winnipeg.
University of British Columbia law student Jessica Magalios spent the past nine months at the UBC First Nations Legal Clinic in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. During the academic semester and the summer she worked at the clinic, which represents indigenous clients who can't afford regular legal counsel and aren't eligible for legal aid.
"I would love to continue with that kind of work. I find it really intellectually, emotionally and morally satisfying — but there's no money in that field," Magalios said in an interview.
"I'm going to be graduating with a six-figure student debt, and it's just not realistic for me to pursue that kind of work."
Beyond the costs for tuition, textbooks, rent, groceries and other necessities, the 32-year-old is living with cystic fibrosis and diabetes related to the disease, which requires her to take insulin shots four times daily. Magalios said she spent about $11,000 out of pocket last year on health care-related expenses.
While she works part-time with a professor at the law school, Magalios said she currently has neither the time nor energy to work beyond 10 hours a week.
"It wakes me up in the middle of the night, my debt does. I am really, really concerned about it, and it gives me a lot of anxiety; and that's aside from my regular concerns about making ends meet."
Magalios believes the current student financial assistance system based on loans is ineffective at promoting access to education for people who have extra difficulties getting there. She added that high debt discourages or prevents people from pursuing careers that don't pay as well — in her case, practising legal aid or public interest law.
"Students shouldn't have to fit this one picture. There isn't a one size fits all model for students who want to go to law school," Magalios said.
"People have different requirements and different backgrounds, and the current system just isn't set up to accommodate that."
Bird said "eduflation" — rising fees for education exceeding inflation — combined with the decision by some to postpone schooling will have an effect well beyond the classroom.
"The cost isn't simply in the chain from education to career: there's a cost around mental health concerns, there's a cost around overall health and well-being that young people are taking on board," he said.
"The ongoing uncertainty is creating an environment that we should really be grappling with for young people."
Jessica McCormick, national deputy chairwoman of the Canadian Federation of Students, said the group is advocating for the creation of a post-secondary education act modelled after the Canada Health Act to help address the issue of high tuition fees.
"Across the country, there are varying levels of access," she said from Ottawa.
"There needs to be some sort of work done on the part of the federal government to ensure there is a national standard for post-secondary education, some national strategy for access."
While Canada has weathered the economic downturn better than some other countries, Bird said young people between the ages of 15 and 24 have bore the burden of 50 per cent of the job losses during the recession — a group comprising only 16 per cent of the labour market.
"There's a really common example of a disruption, of one of those shifts that's really shaken the Canadian youth experience and one that I think really drives home the point (that) as a community — and we as a society — ought to be paying closer attention to this, and really grappling with it across generations."

Tip Us Off
It's a typical day in classrooms across America. Students turn in last night's homework, take their seats, open their notebooks, and settle in for a lesson in handwriting. Or calculating the diameter of a circle. Or avoiding being shot by a madman.
Schools from elementary to high school are now putting students through "lockdown drills" to rehearse what to do if someone starts shooting up the campus. Some have been practicing like this since Columbine; others only began after the Sandy Hook school massacre in December.

There's a sense of deja vu felt in hearing "Slow It Down", the first single to The-Dream's upcoming fourth official effort Fourplay (or fifth, depending on how one views last year's quietly dropped Terius Nash: 1977, a commercial spin-off-of-sorts of the 2011 freebie tape 1977): with its bouncy, ice cream truck R&B plink and Fabolous cameo, the song nearly registers as a carbon copy of his debut solo single "Shawty Is A 10".
The funny thing is, in the case of The-Dream, an artist who has for the most part dealt within the same stylistic templates throughout his Grammy-adorned career as both an artist and writer/ producer to the stars…this is nowhere near a bad thing, the track's perky keyboard bop, heavy bass-synth washes and candied vocal melodies simply finding him reclaiming a soundscape that, as future think-pieces will no doubt note, not only influenced a large chunk of mainstream R&B/ pop sounds in the years following "Shawty" but also a major portion of R&B-influenced indie/ bedroom/ DIY acts routinely given love on the music blogosphere's biggest channels.
A regurgitation of his past creative strokes isn't the lone thing that makes "Slow It Down" a keeper though as the cut finds The-Dream interweaving typical girl-ogling lines with some clever "meta-" dialogue, whether via the opening couplet "I know they ain't gon' play this on top 40 radio/ But the white girls still gon' ride it like a rodeo", or his sly disses towards European-influenced dance-pop's seemingly endless stranglehold over the entire globe's singles charts ("DJ you know you're wrong/ Enough with the motherfuckin' dance songs/ You gotta slow it down") and the nameless contemporaries keeping the trend alive ("Always with you baby I'll never sell out/ Them other n*ggas had to do a dance record or the label wouldn't put em out/ I'll never put a million records before you…").
A bit bitter? Perhaps. Kinda-sorta brilliant? We're leaning into the realm of "Yes".

Anyway, I couldn't WAIT to chop up anything in sight, and luckily for me, the instruction manual included a bunch of recipes that conveniently required that ingredients be chopped and sliced and otherwise generally pulverized. And as I was flipping through the book I spotted one that I hadn't run across before…hot chicken salad. Which called for some cooked chicken, which I happily had some if in my fridge. Let the chopping begin!!
The recipe called for first chopping up the chicken with some scallions with the regular chopping blade. Roger that….chopchopchopchop. Then you put on the slicing blade and slice up some fennel. Sliceslicesliceslice. THEN you get to use the little mini bowl and blade to mix up the dressing, which is a combo of mayonnaise, sour cream, flour, oregano, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Mixmixmixmixmix. Mix it all together with some feta cheese, sprinkle some pine nuts on top, pop in the oven and bake until it is hot, and voila! Hot chicken salad. The recipe said to serve it with pita or flatbread, which I'm sure would be lovely, but I am currently ADDICTED to these little babies:
And so that is what we had. And the whole thing was very tasty (and the Southern husband verified that for me, in case you think I am just speaking through a haze of chopping-induced euphoria.) So there you go…hot chicken salad. Who knew??
- 3 cups cooked chicken pieces
- 3 scallions, cut into 1 inch pieces
- ½ bulb fennel, cut into halves lengthwise
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- Preheat oven to 37Put chicken and scallions in food processor and chop until coarsely chopped. Put in large mixing bowl.
- Slice fennel into thin slices, by hand or with food processor slicing disc. Add to mixing bowl.
- Combine mayo, sour cream, flour, oregano, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add to mixing bowl, add cheese, and stir all to combine.
- Spread into greased 8x8 baking pan. Sprinkle with pine nuts and bake for 25 minutes.
- Serve with pitas, flatbread or your other favorite bread.

The bells of London
Higher, stronger, louder! That's what the artist Martin Creed wants the starting note of the Olympics to sound like. Creed wants everyone in the UK to ring a bell at 8. 12 am on July 27, the day of the Olympics opening ceremony, as part of his London 2012 festival project All the Bells Work No 1197. Any bell will do. Church bells, bicycle bells, alarm bells, sleigh bells, door bells, telephone bells and even that public nuisance, the mobile phone bell. Please do not switch off your mobiles or put them on silent. Instead, let them peal like bells. Getting into the spirit of things, the Guardian website has an interactive bell-ringing page that encourages readers to click on different bells and hear them ring. You're probably going to be drowned out in any case by the sonorous Big Ben, which will chime non-stop for three minutes to officially ring in the games or by the special 27-tonne giant bell being struck specially for the Olympics inscribed with a line from a speech by Caliban in William Shakespeare's The Tempest: "Be not afeard, the isle is full of noises. "
Just compose it
London mayor Boris Johnson's love of Greek - he's known to quote Virgil and Homer at the drop of a hat - has made him commission a poem for the Olympics in ancient Greek, in the style of Pindar, the poet famous for his odes celebrating victories in the athletic competitions of fifth-century Greece. The poem, which has been written by Armand D'Angour, a fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, has turned out rather nicely, except for a small hitch at the end. The last two lines of the poem are: Good luck to all who strive to win:/ applaud, and let the Games begin! But since the Greek for victory is 'Nike', and since the brand is not a sponsor of the Games, its use is liable to be tricky for Johnson. "Armand's endorsement of Adidas' rival is bold, and, I am sure, heartfelt, " deadpanned Tim Whitmarsh, professor of ancient literatures at the University of Oxford. Let the sponsorship wars begin.
Digital AIDS quilt
It's considered one of the largest pieces of community-crafted folk art in the world: the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. In June 1987, a group of strangers in San Francisco gathered to remember the names and lives of their loved ones who had died of AIDS. Each of them sewed a panel in the memory of the dead person, and this was the start of a quilt that now covers 1. 3 million square feet. With nearly 50, 000 panels accumulated, it weighs 54 tonnes and is so massive that it can't even be viewed in a single piece. It will eventually run out of display space, as people continue to succumb to the disease and new panels are added. To accommodate the continued growth of the quilt, Microsoft has helped create a digital exhibit that displays the quilt in its entirety online. You can zoom in and view it block by block - but with each of the 6, 000 blocks holding eight panels, it'll take you well over a month to view the whole thing.

text: Went out to the back forty for some target shooting today! The weather was good. Sunny, light wind, temp 66 degrees. After going through the cattle guard and gate, I prceeded another two miles on unimproved road. The cattle were around the watering holes, so I figured they wouldn't be a problem. On arriving at may favorite area, I checked for cows, antelope,or muleys. Nothing in sight for over a mile. I set up my shooting mat, and then walked off 100 yds. and 150 yds. for setting up the paper target stands. I shot my .308 first at the 100 yard target. After 10 rds. I walked down with a roll of masking tape to cover the holes. On the way back I noticed twelve cows standing around my car. I sat down on my shooting mat,and here they come to check me out. I never experienced shooting around cows so i waited until they moved off about 50 yds. before I resumed shooting. Thinking the sound would spook them, but after about eight rounds, they came back to within thirty feet of me. When I finnished the ten rounds,and went down the the target to tape the holes, they followed. I went back to the mat and sat down to wait for them to walk back, but they were more interested in my targets and the grass around them. fustrated, I packed up and drove home. Free range target shooting is not without it's problems. In the movies the cattle always stampede after a few shots. I guess they thought I was bringing lunch. Navaide

By Katy Savage, Standard Staff
This past year, the Woodstock Union High School girls basketball team didn't go the state tournament. Not because they weren't good enough, but because they didn't have enough players.
Schuyler Benoit and Amber Barcomb, two junior captains, collided with an opposing team's player while going for a ball during the last home game against Mount Saint Joseph Academy. Benoit got hit in the head by an elbow to the nose and Barcomb got hit in the cheekbone. Both had to sit out for at least two weeks with a concussion.
The injuries impacted the entire team, which had nine players on the roster.
"I lost probably eight (players) over the course of the year with concussions," said coach Roger St. Hilaire.
Due to a new concussion management protocol, injured Woodstock students are prohibited from returning to play without passing through a sevenstep process: First, the athletic trainer evaluates students who hit their head. They ride a bike and then if they have no symptoms, jog, and if they have no symptoms, return to practice with no contact, then return to practice with full contact. Students must be symptom-free for 24 hours before they return to graduated play. They take a post-concussion impact test on a computer and are cleared by the athletic trainer.
Concussion Law Has 'No Teeth'
The protocol was prompted by a new state law that requires a trained health care provider to be at any collision sporting event, defined as football, hockey, lacrosse and wrestling. It also requires schools to report concussions so the Traumatic Brain Injury Advisory Board can create a report.
But the law has "no teeth whatsoever," said Barb Winters, an outreach coordinator from the Brain Injury Association of Vermont.
Although the Brain Injury Association of Vermont is supportive of the idea of the law, there hasn't been any statewide data collection mechanism tor enforcement. The state keeps no records of concussions at high schools.
"There really isn't any format," Winters said.
A concussion task force, comprised of members from the Vermont Principal's Association examined the law last year, looking at the financial impact to schools and the selection of concussion-prone sports.
"I think there are many questions about the concussion law and how we approach concussions that are still left up in the air," said Bob Johnson associate executive director of the Vermont Principal's Association.
"I just remember that I couldn't focus on stuff. My headache lasted for three days and I was really sensitive to light."
Loretta Blakeney
"Us old-timers talk about it a lot. Back then, if you saw stars, you shook it off and when you stopped seeing stars you went right back out there."
Tom Avellino
The number of recreation-related traumatic brain injuries increased 62 percent from 153,375 per year to 248,418 per year for people 19 and younger from 2001 to 2009, statistics from the Centers for Disease Control show. TBIs were most common in football for males 10-19 and most common for females 10-19 who were playing soccer and bicycling. But because Vermont has just 32 football teams and 138 soccer teams, Vermont sees more concussions in soccer, Johnson estimated.
The task force recommended naming additional sports, such as soccer, field hockey and basketball, collision sports.
"This past legislative season, nothing was done on that report," Johnson said.
Times Have Changed
There were 29 concussions reported to the school nurse at WUHS last year, most of them were sports-related, Principal Greg Schillinger said at a June School Board meeting, but the number also includes concussions from athletes and non-athletes.
Woodstock's protocol has been in place for about two years. Athletic Director Jeff Thomas said the school wanted to be proactive and developed the protocol in anticipation of the law.
Players are generally out of practice 5-6 days at minimum, but sometimes they sit out for months, which is dramatically different from how it was before.
"If you were coaching four years ago and if a kid was concussed during a game, you might sit them out for a game and then they return to practice," said Thomas.
But it can affect the game.
"It has an impact on the game and what you can do because you're limited to the players that you can play," St. Hilaire said. "If you lose a couple of your starters in a concussion situation, it changes the complexity of the team quite a bit."
'Like A Constant Headache'
For athletes, symptoms can include blurry vision, headache, confusion and memory problems.
Loretta Blakeney, who will be a sophomore next school year at WUHS, couldn't play for a month after she got hit in the head with a basketball during physical education class just before the varsity basketball team's first game. She was out of school for two weeks.
"I missed quite a few games," Blakeney said.
Blakeney wore sunglasses because she was sensitive to light.
"It was just like a constant headache," she said.
Per protocol, middle school students playing boys lacrosse and football and all ninth and 11th grade student athletes at WUHS are required to take computer-based cognitive tests that measure reaction and time.
Each coach must take an online concussion-training course to recognize the signs of a concussion.
Concussions affect each student differently.
Benoit returned to play after she collided with her teammate, but she wasn't able to play at the end of the season because of a worsening headache.
"I just remember that I couldn't focus on stuff," she said. "My headache lasted for three days and I was really sensitive to light."
The new protocol has made the issue more prevalent to coaches.
"Us old-timers talk about it a lot," said varsity soccer coach Tom Avellino who played ball in the 1970s. "Back then, if you saw stars, you shook it off and when you stopped seeing stars you went right back out there. Now you're more educated about it because there's so much attention drawn to it."
