yeah, actually, its in the rules and policies of this site that u cant use all caps.Originally Posted by vashivihan
but to at least stay on topic, i think its a shame that mewtwo got kicked from brawl, he was awesome in melee, he had an original moveset, and well, he was mewtwo! the ultimate pokemon of the first gen, so i think it was a big mistake for them to take him out

How on earth would action replay get you mewtwo?
^Skins perhaps?
And anyway yea... I didn't buy a game past ruby because they kept adding and adding thinking robotic means cool and it made me dislike the new gen series. i liked the 151. You knew who was good and who wasn't. I don't mind the Additions of Crystal/Gold/Silver though because there were still under 400. Now it's what? 493? It's hardly possible to know strengths/weaknesses of that many. I liked fighting off countless Zubat's during the cave walks. Those were the good days. When everybody loved having a Charizard Holographic Pokemon card... Ah...
Off topic but on-topic at the same time. The Mewtwo reign has died off along with the original Pokemon. I was surprised the PKM Trainer had the original starters and not the new ones. So though Brawl keeps some past Pokemon within the game (Pikachu, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, Jigglypuff) they like to add a different one each series. Last time it was Pichu, this time it's Lucario. Not that big of a deal in my mind, I'm still getting over the fact that Ike is too overpowered and I'll feel like a "front-runner" if I use him even though I've played the Fire Emblem games and like him from them. New games = letting go of nostalgia and moving on. Go pull up the PKM movie and see Mewtwo in action if ya want

I see nothing wrong with Lucario. I'd go as far to say that some of his moves are much better than Mewtwo. It seems to me that you're just want Mewtwo in beacause he's Mewtwo.

^^ I did not Completly do this sig, I just added some stuff
1) Learn to type. You're killing my eyes. And don't give me that "I can do whatever I want, it's the Internet" ****, that's bull.
2) Learn grammar. Not only are the CAPS killing me, so is your grammar.
3) Back up your thoughts with reasonable ideas.
4) We all know that even if you want Mewtwo back, he's not coming back. Game's already out, so it'll be impossible to change the characters.
Wth did "GAMEBOYS WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM KIDS IN HTE SCHOOL. "DONT BRING THE POKEMANS TO SCHOOL" SAID THE TEACHERS." come from?
Oh, btw, there's a reason why nobody chose Mewtwo in Melee. There's also a reason why people who participate in tournaments never use him, too.
I think logic can fill in the blanks here.
If you want to add me in Brawl, PM me that you're going to (and include your brawl name and friend code). Also, PM me if you delete me, so I can delete your name, too. I need space, ya know.
For anyone who added me in Brawl and deleted me because it still said "Awaiting Registration", please re-add me. It just means we both haven't been online at the same time.

Whidbey supports its military
Antique cars, Boy Scouts, horses, uniformed and costumed people, scattered across the lawn at Coupeville Town Park to hear distinguished speakers following a Memorial Day parade.
Veterans and active duty personnel from every branch of military service were woven into the assortment of people, animals and vehicles Saturday that wound through town from the parades start at the elementary school. Crowds scattered along the parade route cheered the displays of patriotism.
And there was plenty of fun along the way, too.
Whidbey Island Scandinavians rode in a colorful Troll Vogn. Canine fanciers showed off their pets, one contingent from the Pug Club and another from the Basset Hound Club. An enthusiastic bunch of youngsters demonstrated team spirit for Coupeville cheerleaders who are state champions.
Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard told crowds at the park they were attending the towns 21st Memorial Day celebration. Conard said she counted herself fortunate to live in a community that makes the effort to honor veterans and those currently serving their country.
Conard introduced Cmdr. Scott Hogan, commanding officer of VAQ 135, who recently returned to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station from the Persian Gulf with the Black Ravens.
Hogan spoke of the difficult conditions, the 130 degree temperatures combined with jet exhaust on the flight deck, as sailors support ground forces in Iraq.
You should be very proud of these men and women, he said, and the crowd applauded.
While many elsewhere forget the significance of Memorial Day and think of it only as a day off from work, he said, Whidbey Island residents are renowned for their support of the military.
Today, Many of our friends and family are overseas, standing in harms way, he said.
The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 were really the beginning of a war now in its fifth year, he said, urging the crowd not to get caught up in politics but continue to support the men and women willing to risk their lives.
Capt. Syd. Abernethy, commander of NAS Whidbey, saluted a group of Pearl Harbor survivors seated onstage with their families.
Once again, the U.S. is thrust into remembering and honoring those who served this county, he said.
Its ironic the patriots who love their county often must go overseas to protect their homeland, Abernethy said. Yet America has a proud tradition of honoring those who serve.
The crowd applauded loudly when he said Americans fight because they believe in freedom and democracy and not in war. And regardless of race or creed, Americans are willing to serve and sacrifice for their common beliefs.
Abernethys remarks won agreement when Glenn Lane followed him at the microphone.
Lane, of Oak Harbor, is the last survivor in Washington state from the USS Arizona, which sank at Pearl Harbor 64 years ago.
Lane was a dive bomber in the days leading up to World War II. When the Japanese attached the ships anchored at the harbor in Hawaii, Lane only had time to leap into the water before the Arizona sank.
The lessons of Pearl Harbor must never be forgotten, so America must remain forever vigilant against enemy attack, Lane said.
Lane honored the commitment of men and women who are fighting to ensure the safety of their fellow Americans.
A former Eagle Scout, he recently spoke with a group of Boy Scouts. The future relies on young people like them, he said.
The future is uncertain and despite battles won in previous conflicts there hasnt been a war to end all wars, he said.
Even so, the struggle for world peace must continue. Quoting from an author he recently read, Lane said, We must end war or war will end us.

Three Canadian Airplanes stamps.
The CL-215 was designed as a specialist firebomber, particularly suited to Canada and other heavily forested regions.
The resulting amphibious aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radials, and is capable of scooping up 5455 litres (1200Imp gal/1440US gal) of water in 12 seconds from a water source. The CL-215 first flew on October 23 1967, and first delivery was to the French civil protection agency in June 1969. Production of batches of CL-215s continued through to 1990.
Originally the subsequent CL-215T was to be a simple turboprop powered development of the CL-215, and Canadair converted two aircraft in 1989 to act as development aircraft. The first of these flew on June 8 that year. Retrofit kits for CL-215s to the new standard are offered, but Canadair elected not to build new CL-215Ts, and instead developed the CL-415.
The primary improvement added to the CL-415 over the CL-215T is an EFIS avionics suite, while other improvements, some of which first appeared on the CL-215T, include winglets and finlets, higher weights and an increased capacity firebombing system. Like the CL-215 its principle mission is that of a firebomber, but various special mission (including SAR and maritime patrol) and transport configurations are available.

In the First World War, the HS family of flying boats developed by Curtiss for the USN proved to be highly successful. Following the marriage of the HS-1 hull design and the popular Liberty engine, the HS-1 was ordered into large scale production as the US Navy's standard coastal patrol flying boat.
The design was then further modified with an additional 6 foot panel in the centre-wing section increasing the span from 62 to 74 foot. This increase allowed for the carriage of a heavier bomb load and the modification resulted in a new designation of HS-2L. In 1918 in order to combat the growing submarine menace off Canada's east coast, the Royal Navy requested that two air bases be constructed. The Royal Canadian Naval Air Service thus came into being.
The HS-1L began to enter service early in 1918, flying anti-submarine patrols from a number of Naval Air Stations on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, and from the Panama Canal Zone. Two HS-1Ls operating from Chatham, Massachusetts made the only confirmed aircraft attack on a German U-boat in American waters on July 21, 1918, but this was unsuccessful, with bombs failing to explode and the submarine escaping.
From August 1918, in order to compensate for Canada's lack of patrol aircraft, US Navy HSs operated from two bases in Nova Scotia. Twelve HS-2Ls were donated to Canada at the end of the war.
Large numbers of HS boats were also used by US Navy forces in France, with deliveries starting on May 24, 1918, flying their first patrols on June 13. About 160 HS-1Ls and -2Ls were deployed to France. Following the Armistice, the HS boats based in Europe were scrapped apart from four aircraft based in the Azores, which were acquired by Portugal, while US Naval Air Service shrank considerably, with many Naval Air Stations closing, resulting in considerable numbers of HS boats becoming surplus to requirements and available for sale at $200 to $500 without engines. HS-2Ls continued in use by the US Navy as a patrol aircraft and a trainer until 1928.
Following the Armistice, eleven HSs passed into US Coast Guard service, remaining in service until 1926. As many as 83 HS boats were used by the United States Army Air Service for communications and survey purposes from overseas bases, although they were not given US Army serial numbers. Surplus HSs were also widely exported. Amongst Military users was Brazil, who received six aircraft in 1918. Two HS-2Ls were used in attempt to bomb the rebel held Forte de Copacabana during the 1922 Tenente revolt. Many were used in Canada as the first bush plane. One survives in the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa after being rescued from a Quebec lake.
The Beaver was designed and built in response to the demands of Canadian bush operators. First all-metal bush plane designed and built in Canada, high-lift wing, and flap configuration, the Beaver was a robust aircraft with excellent short take-off-and-landing capability even with heavy loads.
In addition to its success in Canada, the Beaver found acceptance in as many as 60 other countries all over the world. Although not ordered by the RCAF, some 980 served with distinction in the US Army and US Air Force. About 1600 were made.The Beaver was such a success that more were built than any other aircraft designed and manufactured in Canada. In 1951 it won both the US Air Force and US Army competitions for a utility aircraft. Many were used in Korea, where it was known as the "general's jeep".
The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a single-engined, high-wing, propeller-driven, STOL aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada, primarily known as a bush plane. It is used for cargo and passenger hauling, aerial application (crop dusting and aerial topdressing), and has been widely adopted by armed forces as a utility aircraft. The United States Army purchased several hundred; nine DHC-2s are still in service with the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) for search and rescue.
A Royal New Zealand Air Force Beaver supported Sir Edmund Hillary's expedition to the South Pole. Over 1,600 Beavers were produced until 1967 when the original line shut down. Due to its success, the Royal Canadian Mint commemorated the Beaver on a special edition Canadian quarter in November 1999.

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio - It's May 1, and there it is splattered throughout the emails in my inbox. Social media is undergoing a crisis. Young adults, who are the most coveted among major advertisers, are shying away from the traditional platforms, or so these emails say.
It seems as more older Baby Boomers have learned to twiddle their thumbs on their smartphones and post their grandchildren's photos on Facebook, the younger generation is leaving the virtual building faster than Elvis ever could, even in his thinner days.
"Traditional social media platforms aren't for everyone, especially the more introverted," an email from the so-called anti-social network Anomo.com told me.
Rather than post numerous selfies, that site encourages its users to wear a mask, choose an avatar to represent them, and reveal only a little information at a time until trust is built up among their new-found friends.
The notion is that by hiding behind a mask, genuine conversations can emerge, according to its co-founder James Sun. The email his people sent me explained this with a quote from Oscar Wilde, "Man is least himself in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth."
It further said the Anomo site has led to friendships, love stories and even saved lives of those who have posted about suicidal thoughts and eating disorders. If you think this is cryptic, clicking on the site's home page and general information pages aren't much more explicit.
Perhaps, if I had taken the time to choose an avatar, tags and interests, the veil would have been lifted. I was amused with the tip to "shake your phone to be asked five ice-breaker questions and determine your compatibility with other users."
I guess there's a reason it's called an antisocial media network.
Next up was a pitch from author George Moufarrej's people. He was described as a relationship expert and author of Sexual Euphoria.
The pitch told me that social media has introduced a new element for jealousy.
"From our spouse or significant-other connecting with an ex-flame to a high number of members of the opposite sex as friends on social media, a new aspect for jealousy has been created. How dangerous is jealousy in a relationship? How has jealousy changed in romantic relationships in recent years with the advent of social networking? What are danger signs in the jealousy? What is the right mix?"
Now, we have something new to worry about. It seems Moufarrej has a list of the leading causes of social media jealousy in his book, from too many opposite gender friends to spending too much time on social media. He also reveals a list of signs if social media jealousy is becoming dangerous.
So, I guess you can have too many Facebook friends and Twitter followers? Somehow, I never thought that was "dangerous."
More dangerous is the amount of time needed to spend conversing with all these social media friends. A woman I know revealed that she turned off her Facebook account after she discovered she was spending too much time on it. As a career woman, married with twins and studying for an advanced degree, she just dropped her FB friends like lodestones and threw in the towel.
Other friends, ones that I actually know and talk to in person the old way, face-to-face, have told me they can't keep up with their social media pages.
"What I really use my smartphone for is to shop for things and get ideas using Pinterest," several have told me.
Then, the clincher email in my inbox said, "According to yesterday's Nielsen study, half of Americans over 55 years of age now own a smartphone. This is a 10 percent increase from just earlier this year, making this the first time the majority of all age groups have owned a smartphone.
If that's not enough to send the younger generation back to a land line, I'm not sure what is. But, it makes sense that retired folks may have more time on their hands to be working the social media sites. I just hope all these seniors don't start sexting. And, if they do, I really hope they don't send those social media posts to me. I'm starting to think maybe I could use an avatar, after all.
So, with all this talk, texting, tweeting and posting, are we becoming more withdrawn and antisocial? And, with more mothers and grandmothers using social media is a Mother's Day card still appropriate to mark May 10?
It might be easier to celebrate Star Wars Day, which is May 4, which is also known as Luke Skywalker Day.
While I'm glad that this day exists, its creation was a fluke. According to my source, in 2005, a German TV news interview erroneously translated the famous Star Wars quote, "May the force be with you."
It was incorrectly interpreted as "We are with you on May 4th." Others contend that if this error had not occurred, someone, somewhere would have announced this dated as a Star Wars commemorative day.
So for my colleague Joe and all you skywalkers out there, grab your light swords and prepare to fight the evil empire on May 4.
As for me, I'd like to take a long walk on a sandy beach with 3CPO or R2D2, but not both together, they argue too much.
Comment below or contact Rusek at firstname.lastname@example.com. Send me your events to post.
May the fourth be with you: Stop by the Lee Road Library Branch 2 p.m. May 4 to celebrate a Shakesphere inspired Star Wars Day. (Hey, it beats shaking your phone for five ice-breaking questions.)
In a star-crossed galaxy far, far away the festivities continue the Bard's 450th Birthday Bash.There will be a dramatic reading from Ian Doescher's Shakespeare's Star Wars, followed by trivia, prizes and fun. No registration is required.
Having trouble with your iPad or Galaxy: Wish you could have some one-to-one expert advice? Attend a one-to-one tech trainer tutoring session for adults noon May 3 at the Lee Road Branch library. Contact the library to register for this program.
It's Bike Month: For the fourth year in a row, City Council will declare May
as Bike Month in Cleveland Heights on May 5. The mayor of Shaker Heights
has already declared May as Bike Month for the first time.
Note: Walk or Bike to School Day is May 7. It's listed on the Cleveland Heights/University Heights school district calendar. For the first time, Ruffing Montessori will be participating in it also.
For the past several years, Canterbury, Fairfax and Gearity Elementary
Schools have hosted bike rodeos, and Fairfax and Canterbury have had
after-school bike clubs.
Roxboro Elementary will also offer a bike rodeo that includes distributing children's helmets, generously donated by the Ohio Chapter of the American Association of Pediatricians, to Roxboro students who lack them.
Interested in urban farming: The Cedar-Coventry author series at the library hosts Kristin Ohlson, who wrote The Soil Will Save Us, 7-8 p.m. May 7 at the Coventry Village Branch.
Ohlson will read from her book. In it she makes a passionate case for our "great green hope," and a way that people can heal the land and turn turn atmospheric carbon into beneficial soil carbon and potentially reverse global warming.
Registration is required. Contact 216-321-3400 or heightslibrary.org.

I never had a perfect brownie recipe until I discovered a thick and chewy recipe we used for desserts at
¾ cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
½ cup cocoa
pinch salt
4 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 cup flour
1 teaspoons baking powder
13×9 inch greased pan, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the sugar and veggie oil in a large bowl. Add the cocoa and salt and stir until well blended. Whisk the eggs with the vanilla and sift the flour with the baking powder. Add alternating ½ egg mixture, ½ flour. Beat until well blended by hand or with a hand mixer. Pour into the pan and bake until done, about 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it! Too long and the brownies dry out. The top should be firm but not dry. These keep for a long time covered in a dry place.

Celebrate right up to delivery with these amazing non-alcoholic drink recipes

Obama announced the action in a message to Congress as the United Nations Security Council mulls new sanctions itself against a rebel group in the DRC.
The conflict in the DRC, which continues to simmer despite a 2003 peace deal, has left more than 5 million people dead since 1998, making it the bloodiest confrontation since World War II. The conflict has returned to the headlines recently, with the U.N. Security Council declaring its intention to impose sanctions on the rebel movement M23, which is allegedly backed by U.S. ally Rwanda.

GREENWICH - Greenwich police say heroin is to blame for the deaths of two young people in town over the past month.
Police say the victims were in their 20s, and their deaths appear to be accidental overdoses. The two cases were not related.
Local addiction experts are urging parents to use these latest reported overdoses, as well as the death of actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman, as a talking point to discuss the dangers of heroin and other drugs.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The possible reorganization of Onondaga County's maternal health program was thrown into the public spotlight with the sudden resignation of Commissioner Dr. Cynthia Morrow, but any action is months away, members of County Executive Joanie Mahoney's administration told the legislature this morning.
Morrow resigned last Tuesday because she opposes the idea of moving maternal health services out of her department and into the county's Department of Children and Family Services.
Such a move would be subject to a vote of the Onondaga County Legislature, which would likely come in October as part of the 2015 budget, Legislature Chairman Ryan McMahon said.
Legislator Danny Liedka, R-East Syracuse, called a special meeting of the Onondaga County Legislature's Health Committee Friday morning. It was the first time for both sides to share their stories in public in the same room. Both sides talked professionally about their confidence in the health department during the transition, but explained their differences about the future of the maternal health program.
Morrow brought annual reports dating to the 1930s to show legislators the success of maternal health in the health department. She said there has never been a clearly defined problem to instigate moving the program and she expressed concerns about the oversight of nurses and the risks of losing accreditation and grants.
"Given that there's a long history of success and given that there's a rationale for having child health programs in the health department, the burden of proof must be on the county administration," Morrow said.
After Morrow's testimony, the committee heard from Deputy County Executive Ann Rooney, Children and Family Services Commissioner David Sutkowy, County Attorney Gordon Cuffy and Michelle Mignano, deputy health commissioner temporarily filling Morrow's shoes.
Legislators Kathy Rapp, R-Salina, and Peggy Chase, D-Syracuse, asked the main question: Why are we doing this?
Rooney made a case that families are best served when agencies coordinate services and not operate in separate "silos."
"We can do better. We can do better coordinating services for families," she said.
There was a lot of discussion about the timing.
Rooney said the county executive planned to talk about the restructuring in her State of the County address last month. But the subject was cut from the speech because of a sudden visit from Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who announced state funding for a new film hub that day.
Some legislators were briefed during a recent health committee meeting, Liedka said.
Normally, county administrators would start presenting budget proposals to legislators in the summer. There would be hearings in September and a vote in October.
"Right now, they're on the 10 yard line with 90 yards to go. They don't have a formal proposal for us to pick apart," Liedka said.
But if the health commissioner was on the verge of quitting, Liedka said, county legislators would have liked to have been part of the conversation sooner.
Liedka did not open the meeting to public comment.

Imagine the music of running water, or the serenity of a still lake. Water has the power to both soothe and intrigue us. A water feature in a garden can easily become its main attraction.
Historic water gardens
"It is surprising to discover just how central the use of water features is to gardens worldwide at all times in history." -- Peter Robinson
|(more water garden history)
Water gardens can be created in anything that will hold water. They can be designed to fit any landscape. Geometric shapes are suitable for a formal garden, while a naturalized setting may call for a pond edged with iris and ferns. Even a container on a patio can be fitted with aquatic plants, goldfish, and a bubbling fountain.
Water gardens should be sited in full sun, away from overhanging trees and underground cables or pipes. Installation can be relatively easy, utilizing pond liners that are readily available at home improvement or garden centers. Concrete or brick structures require more specialized skills.
For gardeners, the real attraction of water gardens is plant selection. A good mix of plants will include submerged, floating, and marginal species. Submerged plants grow entirely underwater. They provide oxygen for fish and help to keep the water clear. Water hyacinth and water lettuce are examples of floating plants. They provide shade and shelter for fish. Marginal and floating-leaved plants, such as cattails and water lilies are commonly planted in submerged baskets.
After planting, wait a few days to allow chlorine to evaporate from the water before adding fish. In time, water gardens will attract additional wildlife, such as birds, insects, frogs, and toads. A small investment of time and effort will reap big rewards for the gardener.

FONDA - On the Fonda Fair's second-to-last-day, a parade of semi-trucks, fire engines, ambulances and pick-ups filled the Fonda Speedway in a benefit event for children's hospitals.
Sunday's Convoy for Kids, a charity drive founded by Charles Claburn of Hudson Falls, had more than 120 drivers register and pay from $45 to $55 to take part in the event.
Driving from the Beechnut Factory in the town of Florida through Fultonville, the participants, led by Hank Pitcher, paraded through the speedway, belching smoke and blaring their horns to the large crowd of onlookers.

Convoy for Kids founder Charles Claburn rides on the side of a Blackhawk Transport semi-truck on Sunday, reaching to high-five with announcer Rob Tylutki during the convoy's passage through the Fonda Speedway.
"It's enormous," Claburn said, smiling.
Pulling in around 11:30 a.m., the crowd clapped as the convoy was escorted by a Montgomery County Sheriff's Office patrol car as well as fire and ambulance services from all over Montgomery County. Walmart, Timco Transportation and Cargel Meats were some of the companies involved in the Convoy, with Walmart and Timco having multiple trucks pulling through.

Claburn established the event six years ago in Hudson Falls to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network, which helps pay for children's hospitals. Claburn said he has two nephews who were born severely disabled.
"The hospital serves 50,000 families, so might as well put our money to use," Claburn said.
Wes Pak, a 6-year-old West Virginian who was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, a common cancer in children that causes tumors to grow on the nervous system, rode in the Lady Butterfly rig. His mother, Christa, said Wes is much better now, and he only goes to doctors for checkups and maintenence care.
"It's great to see people come out and support the kids who don't always get the awareness they need," Christa Pak said.
Pitcher, of Ron Allen Trucking, who rode with his wife and daughter in his rig, has been involved in the event every year.
"If it generates a fire and gives some guys some ambition to get up off the couch and do something for children like this, it's always well worth it," Pitcher said.
Last year, the event, like many at the Fonda Fair, was hampered by the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Irene.
"People couldn't get here," Claburn said.
Pointing at the crowd growing in the stands, Claburn was enthusiastic about the event.
"Thats a start. Last year we had maybe five people in the stands," Claburn said.
Other events held at the Speedway on Sunday included a truck pull, where some members of the Convoy and other competitors attempted to see whose rig could pull the track's sled, "Humiliator 15," over 300 feet, and a truck beauty contest. Several teams of "super-semis" also were there to entertain the crowd.
"Those things pop wheelies. They are packing 3000 horsepower, whereas [normal semis] pack 450 to 600 horsepower," Claburn said.
Today, the last day of the fair, will have a parade at noon. Entry will be free to anyone at the gates before noon.
Arthur Cleveland can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A traffic stop in Gretna lead to the discovery of a meth lab operating inside of a Marrero home. Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the lab, located inside of a single-story house at 419 E Ave., Marrero, according to Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrest reports.
Brandon Leleaux, 31, Kelly Williams, 31, and Amber Bergeron, 32, all of Marrero, and Dale Martinez, 37, of Gretna were booked Wednesday with creation of a clandestine lab and other charges related to additional drugs and paraphernalia found in the house. Leleaux was the first to be arrested following a traffic stop Monday evening at 4th Street and Huey P Long Avenue in Gretna, an arrest report said.
Gretna Police pulled over the vehicle Leleaux was driving because of unspecified traffic violations. As he and other passengers were ordered out of the vehicle, officers spotted drug paraphernalia, the arrest report said.
Officers found a cigarette box containing suboxone, a drug used to treat opiate addiction, marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug alprazolam. They also found a napkin containing a glass pipe laced with methamphetamines in the glove compartment. the arrest report said.
Another passenger claimed ownership of cigarette box. But Leleaux was booked Tuesday with possession of methamphetamines and possession of drug paraphernalia because the pipe was found in his glove box, according to the report.
Detectives with the West Bank Major Crimes Task Force obtained a search warrant for
Leleaux's home, 419 E Ave., Marrero, and went to the residence just before 1 a.m. on Wednesday, the arrest report said. There they found Bergeron, who also lived at the address, along with Williams and Martinez.
Inside the house, investigators found 10.5 grams of powdered meth, 8 fluid ounces of a liquid that also tested positive for meth and marijuana, arrest reports said. Detectives also found several prescription medications.
Authorities seized precursor chemicals used to manufacture meth, including drain cleaner and lighter fluid. Meth labs are highly volatile and can produce dangerously hazardous fumes. Stickers posted on the house Friday labeled the residence a biohazard and warned others not to enter.
Leleaux and Martinez admitted to cooking meth at the residence, arrest reports said. Leleaux said he'd been making the drug for about a month to earn money because he couldn't get a job due to his criminal record. According to Jefferson Parish court records, he has convictions for possession of alprazolam and carisoprodol, possession of marijuana, four counts of simple burglary, DWI, reckless operation of a vehicle, driving with a suspended license.
Bergeron, the registered tenant of the house, confessed that she knew what Leleaux and Martinez were up to in her home, the arrest report said. The men told detectives Bergeron and Williams didn't help manufacture the drug. But Leleaux said the women did purchase pseudoephedrine, a cold medication also used to make the meth, the arrest report said.
In addition to the meth lab creation charges, Martinez, of 625 Niagara Circle, Gretna, was also booked with drug possession with the intent to distribute and possession of marijuana. Williams, of 5201 Savannah Lane, Marrero, was booked with possession of methamphetamine and possession of distribution of drugs without a prescription.
Bergeron was booked with possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and two counts of possession or distribution of drugs without a prescription.

The Fundy Y is hoping to attract more young families like Nash, Jenn, Randi-Lynn and Tyler Neufeld.

Shirley Chantal, a wellness leader at the Fundy Y, gave Peter Dickie his introduction to working out on the exercise machines.

Peter Dickie says working out at the Fundy Y has helped alleviate his arthritis pain and stiffness in his shoulders.
Jonathan Riley
Fundy Y looking to attract younger families
The Fundy Y is half way to their membership goal.
They have signed up 700 members in the last six months and want to reach 1,200.
"1,200 makes it sustainable," says Jane Seary, manager at the Y. "Our business plan is based on an all-inclusive model. Once you buy a membership, once you're in through the door it shouldn't cost you anything more – you have full access to all the facilities, the water classes, the walking track and everything that is happening that day."
Peter and Bev Dickie joined three months ago and love the all-inclusive model.
"I don't lift weights," says Peter. "I use the machines. I use 17 different machines in there. We can use everything; we're not limited in any way. I can come every day if I want to."
Peter worked as a land surveyor and on his own woodlot his whole life and never thought he'd be paying money to work out in a gym.
"When you've slung a powersaw around for eight hours a day, the last place you need to go is to workout in a gym," he says. "But then I found out there was more to life than working all the time and started slowing down and enjoying things. After a while I noticed I was getting flabby – it was like touching a marshmallow."
The Dickies first got hooked on indoor exercise when the Y let people use the walking track during renovations.
"Bev and I can't walk outside when the road is icy and slushy," says Peter. "We got to meet people and got hooked.
"It's a great social place. There's no need for anyone to be sitting home, feeling lonely or bored."
When the Y opened Bev wanted to give it a try and Peter came with.
"It was the best investment we ever made for our health," says Peter. "I was having trouble with my shoulders and my rotator cuff, it was very painful and I'm full of arthritis. Coming here has made all the difference in the world."
Peter and Bev go to the Y about four times a week for a couple hours at a time.
"I'm not trying to become a Charles Atlas," says Peter. "I just want to get toned up, feeling good and healthy."
When the Dickies first joined they took advantage of free orientation sessions offered to every new member.
They got a one-hour, one-on-one appointment with a wellness leader. She showed them the equipment and how to use it and even gave them a little personal plan to get them started.
They'll also get two more follow-up visits when they're ready for a little change.
A majority of the Y's members are like Peter and Bev—older, looking to tone up, to feel happier and healthier.
The water art classes for example are the Y's most popular program, so popular they have to run classes back-to-back to fit everyone in.
Seary says the Y would like to have the same success attracting families and younger people to the Y.
They recently ran a three-hour hockey-conditioning workshop for the Digby Peewees; they've revamped the pool schedule in response to teacher requests to make room for school groups to visit.
They're trying to get a mention in local school newsletters and they're working on a plan to give every student in local schools a day pass for them and a parent.
"So they can come and see what the Y has to offer," says Seary. "So they can see the quality of the facility and quality of the programs."
The Y has several programs aimed at youth including Tumblebugs, a Youth Zone Friday nights for ages 6 to 17, youth tae kwan do and youth fitness.
Seary says money can be a problem for some people but the Y is a charity, she says, and wants to help.
They have a membership assistance program which takes into account not only your income but your expenses as well.
Time also seems to be a big problem for busy families, which is why the Y is staying open until 9 p.m. now.
Jenn and Tyler Neufeld bring their children Randi-Lynn and Nash several times a week.
The children aren't involved in organized sports or other after school activities yet and the parents work shift work and so can come during the day.
The Neufelds both like to work out so they juggle the child minding—one swims with the children for example while the other is in the gym.
Tuesdays and Thursday nights and Saturday mornings the Y takes a turn. They offer child-minding services for $3 an hour and $2 for each additional child.
The Neufelds also take advantage of Tumblebugs to get in a few reps in the gym while the children are playing.
"The Y has everything we need, the machines, the pool and programs for the kids," says Jenn. "There's something here for everybody."
Jenn understands that some people are scared of the cost but sees people paying for individual programs that add up over a month to the all-inclusive cost of the Y.
"We are really lucky to have such a modern well-equipped facility in our community," she says. "And I don't think people know what a great facility it is."
The Y is working on that with the student day passes and a guest pass program called "Try the Y". Any current member of the Y can pick up a guest pass for a friend good for one week of free entry.
Peter Dickie says he tells everyone he meets they need to try it to believe it.
"Its wonderful to have a facility like this in the community," he says. "I look forward to coming here. I just can't say enough about it. "

It's spring, the first season of the first year at Alewife Farm in upstate New York's pastoral Duchess county. Owner and head farmer Tyler Dennis coaxes weeds–miniscule dandelions and tiny bunches of grass–from a neat, compost-dusted bed.
Last week he made his first sale, 1,000 pounds of pea tendrils destined for kitchens in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, via the curated community supported agriculture (CSA) company Quinciple. The sale was a relief for Dennis and proof that his fledgling effort to reform an "unsustainable" food system could compete with established operations in the Hudson Valley. But more than cash flow, it was validation. Read more

At the Summit of North America
Kitsap Mountaineers Mike and Elaine Raymond reflect on their five-and-a-half-year quest to climb Mount McKinley — in pictures — Dec. 19 in Bremerton.
The walls of the tent ripple and whip with the force of the wind as the mountain quietly growls. It's nighttime, but still light outside, colder than just about any place imaginable.
Camped in the snow atop an enormous glacier more than 17,000 feet up North America's highest peak, Mount McKinley (aka Denali or The Great One), everyone is bundled up in sleeping bags and tucked away in their tents waiting out the 60-mile-an-hour winds that have stalled the team's attempt at the summit.
Mike and Elaine Raymond have been here before.
Four years prior, on their first attempt to summit McKinley, bad weather forced them down the mountain after they'd spent more than two weeks climbing to the 17,000-foot base camp, just below the highest point on the continent.
But this time had been different. It seemed to be going perfectly. Even though temperatures were colder and winds were harsher, everything had been on time. There'd been mostly clear skies, and it'd even been a more managable climb this time around.
"This time we were ready," Mike said. It almost seemed easy, he noted — only in an incredibly difficult sort of way, I'd imagine.
Then came the winds, threatening again, attempting to spoil the Raymonds' second attempt at the summit.
Located above the clouds in the middle of Alaska, McKinley's 20,320-foot peak is notoriously battered by some of the worst weather of anywhere on the continent. But the climbing guides who were escorting Raymonds' group on this May 2008 excursion decided it might be worthwhile to stay one more day, even past deadline, to see if the storm might break and allow the adventurers a chance to touch the top of the world.
Understandably having not been able to sleep very well that night, Mike peeked his head out of his tent around 1 a.m., and, to his surprise, he found clear, still skies. He jumped up and rushed to the guides' tent, excitedly reporting the conditions. They told him to go back to sleep. They would start the ascent in the morning.
"When we got up there, there were no tracks," Mike said — just a few hundreds-yard expanse of sloping frozen snow leading to the peak of a goal the couple had been working toward for more than five years.
Both "late-in-life climbers" Elaine noted, she and Mike, married for nearly seven years now, discovered early in their relationship that they both had a passion for the outdoors. They're the type of people who will find their way to mountains all year round despite their day jobs. They also lead climbs and training for the Kitsap Mountaineers.
One day five or six years ago, Mike shared with Elaine a long-standing goal of his had been to summit Mount McKinley, one of the biggest, most treacherous and consequently most famous mountains in the world. And she said, "Let's go for it."
So finally, on the second attempt, here they were poised to reach the summit of North America. But, incredibly, perched just a few hundred feet from the peak, that's only half the story. Another storm was about to hit — a storm of human drama fueled by ambition and competition.
The Raymonds will divulge the conclusion, along with a slideshow of photos from the trip and first person accounts from the excursion, at a free presentation hosted by the Kitsap Mountaineers at 7 p.m. Dec. 19 at the Norm Dicks Government Center, 345 Sixth St. in Bremerton.
"How do three guides and seven clients get along in small tents and bad weather?" The Mountaineers' press release reads. "Who will be turned around, and why? Who will reach the true summit? Don't miss out on this exciting story and stunning photographs ... ."
Suffice to say, the next big reality show just might be set atop one of the world's highest peaks.
FOLLOWING THE RAYMONDS' PRESENTATION the Kitsap Mountaineers their coordinated courses in Winter Travel, Alpine Scrambling, Basic Mountaineering and Intermediate Mountaineering that begin on January 8, 2008. Info: www.kitsapmountaineers.org.

Experts identify 10 key actions for reducing disaster risk in Nepal's education sector
Ten key actions to better prepare Nepal's education sector for dealing with disasters have been identified by government representatives and development partners at the end of a two day workshop on 30 and 31 January 2012 in Kathmandu.
The actions relate to mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction (DRR) into education policy and planning, disaster risk reduction in teaching and learning, disaster risk management in schools and safe school buildings. All of them will help to strengthen educational planning, management and budgeting, agreed the workshop participants.
The event, initiated by UNESCO and organized in close cooperation with the Ministry of Education, UNICEF and Save the Children with support from Japan, was part of the activities of Nepal's Education Cluster.
Experts from the Government, UNICEF, UNESCO, Save the Children, the Asian Development Bank and UNDP facilitated the discussions. Agenda items included the presentation of regional perspectives on DRR in education, existing DRR initiatives in Nepal's education sector, and strategies to integrate DRR into education sector planning.
Participants reaffirmed that DRR in education is a combination of actions, processes and attitudes necessary for disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness. Embedding DRR in education policy is critical for its application and sustainability.
The overall consensus of the participants was that clear policy guidelines, adequate financial and human resources, and political commitment are needed for effective implementation of the following key actions:
Mainstreaming of DRR into Education Policy and planning
1. Integrate DRR as an objective in School Sector Reform Plan (SSRP). Analyze DRR in the SSRP and make recommendations for integration of DRR into the plan, for the Mid-Term Review in March 2012
2. National Planning Commission and Ministry of Finance to approve DRR related budget mechanisms and activities in the Annual Sector Implementation Plan. The Ministry of Education and Education Cluster will advocate DRR priorities to National Planning Commission and Ministry of Finance
DRR in teaching and learning
3. Incorporate DRR-related specific objectives, learning outcomes and weighting in formal education, from early childhood education ranging to higher education
4. Ensure training on DRR to all teachers and early childhood education facilitators to ensure delivery of DRR skills in every classroom
Promote Disaster Risk Management in School
5. Develop DRR capacity of district level education officials
6. Update Terms of Reference of School Management Committees and Parent-Teacher Associations to integrate DRR activities at school and community level
7. Train head teachers, teachers, School Management Committees, Parent-Teacher Associations and students in developing and implementing school-based disaster preparedness plans
Safe Schools
8. Enhance technical and managerial capacity for safe schools for District Education Offices and School Management Committees
9. Make safer schools an integral part of Child-Centered DRR
10. Conduct mass awareness campaign on school safety together with Child Centered organizations. In collaboration with Flagship 1, conduct risk assessment of school buildings, prioritize and implement risk reduction measures

From The Washington Post:
The Justice Department filed suit Tuesday against Arizona, charging that the state's new immigration law is unconstitutional and requesting a preliminary injunction to stop the legislation from taking effect.
The lawsuit says the law illegally intrudes on federal prerogatives, invoking as its main argument the legal doctrine of "preemption," which is based on the Constitution's supremacy clause and says that federal law trumps state statutes. The Justice Department argues that enforcing immigration laws is a federal responsibility.

"What are the nuns doing that they can't answer the phone?" Francis asked in the message he left, the recording of which was obtained by Spain's El Mundo newspaper and broadcast on Italian media Saturday.
"This is Pope Francis. I wanted to offer you greetings for the end of the year. Maybe I'll try to call again later. May God bless you," he said.
Francis has made a habit out of calling people out of the blue, often checking in with ordinary folk who have written him about their hardships. He places the calls himself, as evidenced by the message.

The Camp Hill School Board approved a nearly $15 million budget for the 2007-08 school year Monday night that will raise property taxes 4.9 percent, or about $100 for the average borough homeowner.
The board approved a slightly higher spending plan but a lower tax increase than expected by financing $235,400 in technology hardware purchases over three years, rather than paying for them all at once.
Board Vice President Ted Mowery suggested the financing plan. "I think it would be a good way to create a small break in the tax burden," Mowery said.
The other two proposals under consideration, which would have funded the technology purchase in one year, would have raised taxes 6.9 percent or would have raised taxes 5 percent but used about $150,000 in district reserves.
The plan will cost the district about $80,000 a year for three years, plus minimal interest costs, district business manager Chris Hakes said. For accounting purposes, the board had to raise the budget's total expenditures by $80,000 to account for the first year's payment, she said.
Under the approved 2007-08 budget, the owner of a home assessed at the borough average of $163,600 will pay $2,183 in school property taxes, an increase of $100. The rate will increase from 12.77 to 13.39 mills.
In other business, the board canceled its July 18 meeting and scheduled a special meeting for 6:30 p.m. Monday in the middle school/high school cafeteria.

Several Granbury ISD construction projects are set to open when students return from Spring Break on March 21, 2016.
New gymnasiums will be ready at Acton Elementary School and Emma Roberson Elementary School, providing more equitable space for physical education classes. The attached additions also ensure improved security for those campuses. Acton's gym is already open (pictured above are fifth graders at the opening), but the Roberson addition is taking longer because of demolition of an older facility. Once the gym is complete, the Roberson PTO will continue work on the parking lot expansion.
For Granbury High School, chief among projects is the long-anticipated reopening of the Bagby-McMahan Performing Arts Center. New seating has already been installed with major upgrades of the sound and lighting systems. Also open at the high school will be new locker rooms for baseball, softball, and tennis teams.
Other construction projects were recently completed over the winter and early spring. These include new chemistry labs and new space for the Marine Corps JROTC program. The cadets now have new classrooms, supply and uniform room, and a large competition rifle range.
Last fall, students returned to GHS with the new Crossland Academic Wing in the front of the building plus a completely renovated cafeteria and coffee bar, the Learning Commons (library), expanded space for fine arts programs, plus office and counseling space. Work continues on the career and technical education addition, and, during the summer, demolition and construction will progress in older parts of the building not previously renovated. When school begins in August, all principal work will be completed, and the high school will welcome both the Class of 2019 and Class of 2020 to make it a full 9-12 campus.
Controlled entries were complete at K-8 campuses during the fall of 2014, and the high school entry was made secure with the addition of the ninth grade academic wing.
Regarding technology, the investment in model classroom, technology devices, and infrastructure is ongoing. At K-8 campuses, classrooms have SMART Boards, projectors, document cameras, classroom audio, mounts and cables, and virtual desktop storage. More wireless access points have been added at these schools, and work on the high school will continue through the summer. A fiber optic wide area network to increase bandwidth at all campuses is complete.
At the February 22 school board meeting, representatives of the Huckabee architectural firm presented a proposed layout for the repurposed Crossland Ninth Grade Center to be the district's new administration building. Most departments will be consolidated in the current freshman campus in order to provide efficiency for parents, employees, and other stakeholders. Work is scheduled to begin on the $3 million project during the summer and be completed in the fall.
Superintendent Dr. James Largent reviewed an overview of the bond program. The high school project has developed from contingency funds and other savings. Dr. Largent discussed a plan to spend remaining dollars on the high school exterior, a new roof at the high school, and the new repurposed administration building. The district would still have $2.2 million available after the completion of all current bond projects.
Board members approved amendments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the high school project. The changes allow for $372,681 to provide stonework and paint on the veneer of existing portions of the building and $1,192,671 to re-roof the existing building. Also regarding the bond program, trustees approved $2.06 million to purchase new furniture at the high school. This means that all classrooms will receive new furniture once the bond is complete.
Scott Barnes representing the Buford Thompson Company, the district's construction manager, outlined progress on current bond construction progress for the high school, auditorium, locker rooms, and elementary gyms. Work continues this spring, with several individual projects nearing completion. Efforts will be in full force during the summer to get ready for the new school year.
The presentation is posted here.
Dr. Largent and Scott Barnes, construction manager with the Buford-Thompson Company, discussed the 2013 bond initiative and current progress at the high school. That was followed by a summary of the school district's career and technical education program offerings by director Judy Gentry. Group members toured new portions of the high school, include the Crossland Academic Wing, cafeteria and coffee bar area, and Learning Commons. The tour proceeded through the new career and technical education center, which is still under construction and should be complete in August. A stop in the reconfigured fine arts area was followed by a sneak peek into the Bagby-McMahan Performing Arts Center, which is currently undergoing upgrades for sound, lighting, and seating.
Work on the career and technical education center addition progresses at Granbury High School. The addition includes almost 100,000 square feet of new space for CTE programs like engineering, culinary arts (including a state-of-the art kitchen and bistro open to the public), health science, aviation, agricultural welding, and automotive technology. The new area will also house a lecture hall as well as space for other programs, including an expansive space for art as well as a new activity gym for the Stowaways dance and drill team. Work will continue on the addition through August.

CHATHAM — The Chatham Historical Society provided an educational lecture on the restoration and preservation of old photographs on Sunday, Oct. 14. The presentation came on the heels of the society's recent efforts to preserve its photo collection — the society's "most valuable artifact possession."
The guest speaker was Richard Stenman, a photograph conservator of Milford-based The Better Image, who gave a presentation about the nature of photographs and their deterioration and preservation. The society's co-presidents, Susan Allen and Heidi Houston, had consulted Stenman in order to preserve and prioritize preservation of the society's large collection of photographs.
Stenman described photographs as the "embodiment of life," artifacts that portray history in a visual format. In order to preserve photographs they should be stored in a cool, dry area.
He acknowledged that restoration of damaged pictures can be costly and sometimes the best solution is to preserve an old picture in its present stage.
When Heidi Huston and Susan Allen became Chatham Historical Society co-presidents in 2008, they began to concentrate on preserving and organizing the society's archives. The society won the CAPES (Caucus Archival Projects Evaluation Services) grant and, in October 2009, an archivist came to visit the group's facilities.
The society obtained advice and information on how to proceed to "save and protect" the Chatham collection, what a visiting archivist referred to as "truly astonishing for a local historical society," Allen said.
In order to achieve the proper preservation and organization, three big steps needed to be taken, said Allen.
"The archivist recommended the removal of the very old "off-putting gas" file cabinets; the purchase of shelving with proper paint and open decking, to enable water to fall through to the floor in the event of a fire; and the purchase of a museum-quality properly painted fire- and water-resistant lockable cabinet to ensure that our most valuable artifacts were safe and protected," she said.
Now most of the file cabinets have been replaced and a portion of the open-deck shelving has been installed. "The photographs are not currently organized in the best of ways, but we are working on that," Allen said.
"Richard was able to come to visit us in Borough Hall, to take a look at what we have in the way of documents and photographs," she added. "After spending the morning viewing and advising us, as he was getting ready to leave, he spotted the Mill photos that were residing in the back of the bottom drawer in a non-lockable, non-fire- and non-water-resistant file cabinet," Allen said.
"Those prints are albumen," Stenman declared, according to Allen. Stenman further suggested that the society make those photos its first preservation priority, as the late-1800s photos of the Mill "capture both the birth of Chatham and its commerce."
The Mill photos are now residing in the new archival cabinet, safe and sound, Allen said.

Historian, b. at Reims, 1692; d. at Paris, 1785. In 1713, with his brothers, Champeaux and Lévesque de Pouilly, he began to compile a dictionary of universal knowledge, a kind of encyclopedia, which comprised twelve large manuscript folios, and afforded Burigny ample material for his subsequent works. In 1718, at The Hague, he worked with Saint-Hyacinthe on "L'Europe savante", in twelve volumes, of which he contributed at least one-half. On his return to Paris, he devoted his time to historical research and published several works which stamped him as a conscientious scholar. Burigny, although sharing the ideas of the philosophers of his time, was by no means an extremist. He was a modest, peace-loving man, whose only ambition was to be a scholar, and his works show a great amount of learning; some, for instance his lives of Grotius and Erasmus, give very interesting data not elsewhere found. Among his works are: "Traité de l'autorité du pape" (Paris, 1782) which reduces papal authority to a primacy of honour, "Théologie païenne" (Paris, 1754); "Histoire générale de Sicile" (The Hague, 1745); "Histoire des róvolutions de l'empire de Constantinople" (The Hague, 1750); "Traité de Porphyre touchant l'abstinence de la chair, avec la vie de Plotin" (tr. from Greek; Paris, 1740); "Vie de Bossuet" (Paris, 1761); "Vie du cardinal Duperron" (Paris, 1768).
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

A 25-year-old Harrisburg man told police he was robbed at gunpoint by three men after getting food at Mercado's Pizza in the 1400 block of Swatara Street Monday night.
Police say the report of the robbery came in just hours before a second incident they believe to be related. The man told police that three men got out of a silver sedan that pulled up to him around 10:30 p.m., one pointed a gun at him and they took his food and money before leaving in the same vehicle.
Around 3 a.m. police were sent to the emergency room of Pinnacle Health Harrisburg Hospital for a similar report. A 53-year-old Harrisburg man told police he was walking to a friend's home when he was approached by a man at South 13th and Sycamore streets at the same time that a silver sedan pulled up to him. The victim said the man who walked up to him pulled a handgun and demanded his money, and a male got out of the sedan and took his valuables before fleeing the scene. The victim told police he was shaken up and called for an ambulance despite being uninjured.
Both incidents involved black males in a silver sedan, police say.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Sgt. Thomas Carter at 717-255-6586 or email@example.com.

Death with Dignity: State health dept. releases data for 2012
Washington State's fourth annual Death with Dignity Act report was released last week, with the Department of Health reporting that 104 people "who were dispensed lethal doses of medication in 2012 are known to have died."
The report also confirms at least 83 of the participants died after taking the medication in 2012, when 121 people in Washington requested and received the medication.
According to the DOH's data, the 121 prescriptions for the medication were written by 87 different physicians and dispensed by 30 different pharmacists. Also according to the report, the "participation rate" for this program increased 17 percent between 2011 and 2012. Since the passage of the state's law in 2009, 376 terminally ill adults have received the medication.
The demographics of those who died in 2012 are a mixed bag, with patients ranging from ages 35 to 95. More than 90 percent lived in Western Washington, and most had cancer. According to the DOH, most of those who made the decision cited their "loss of autonomy" as a main concern.

Ohio's top educator is calling it quits.
Susan Tave Zelman, state superintendent of public instruction since 1999, announced this morning that she is leaving the department. She made the announcement at an Ohio Department of Education employee recognition ceremony.
"I want you, my ODE family, to be among the first to know that I intend to step down as Ohio superintendent of public instruction," Zelman said. "We've been together for almost 10 years, and now it is time for me to move on to the next phase of my career."
Zelman's days as head of the 660-person department were numbered after Gov. Ted Strickland said in February he wanted to establish a statewide education director who would report directly to him. The move would relegate the state superintendent and the 19-member State Board of Education to advisory roles.
Board President Jennifer Sheets said today she remains opposed to that plan. But Sheets and other board members have told Strickland he could have a role in the search for Zelman's replacement.
"I understand the governor's desire to have a say in the matter," Sheets said.
The board is considering proposals from four search firms to assist in finding a replacement for Zelman. Sheets said she expects a board committee to have a recommendation for the full board at its June meeting.
Zelman said she will stay in an advisory capacity until Dec. 1 to help in the transition. Meanwhile, she is looking for a new position.
As Ohio's top education official, Zelman is credited with raising the academic performance of Ohio's 1.8 million public school students and narrowing the achievement gap between white and minority students.
