Daytona 500 2016 News and Updates
Joey Logano is looking to become the first racer in 20 years to win back-to-back Daytona 500 wins. The last person to ever do so was the now retired Sterling Marlin, who took laps around Victory Lane in 1994 and 1995. Although the win in Daytona last year was his first-ever speedway victory, Logano wants to win again, and it showed in his performance in 2015. As one of the fastest drivers out there right now, he's got some serious momentum heading into the 2016 500, which is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 20 and Sunday, Feb. 21 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Tickets for NASCAR's biggest race are on sale now, get yours today for $128 and up.

2015 Season
1/13/15 - The NASCAR season is gearing up, and Razorgator has great seats for you to watch the action on track. There's a lot of anticipation for Dale Earnhardt Jr. to get back to the Daytona 500 to see if he can join Jeff Gordon with three wins. Only five active drivers have won the 500 multiple times. Earnhardt won in 2014 and 2004. It would be an exciting win if he won this year, because no one has won back to back races at the Daytona 500 since Sterling Martin did it in 1994 and 1995. Before that, in 1983 and 1984, Cale Yarborough had the honor. Teams are already gearing up for the green flag to come down on February 22. Don't wait to get your tickets!
2014 Season
2/18/14 - Huge NASCAR news happened this weekend, as the cream of the crop duked it out in the qualifying round for this Sunday's Daytona 500. Danica Patrick (last year's pole-sitter) and teammate Tony Stewart, blew their engines in practice and made unapproved changes before the qualifying race, forcing NASCAR to sit them in the back of the line for both the Daytona 500 and
Budweiser Duel
. Perhaps more thrilling: after posting the weekend's best qualifying speed over 49 cars, rising star Austin Dillon pulled off an incredible victory and will start from the pole come Sunday. The young cowboy will sport the No. 3 in the 500, as the first driver to use the iconic number in the Sprint Cup since the death of Dale Earnhardt in the same race back in 2001. With this legendary number back on the front line, you've got to be present for NASCAR's biggest event—and you can still get-in for as little as $67!
2/13/14 – Daytona 500 tickets are currently averaging $223, up 5% in the last two weeks and the second most expensive race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (AAA Texas 500 tickets avg. $230). However, the cheapest ticket is down to $67 which means you can experience NASCAR's biggest event for less than Sylvania 300 ($142), Cheez-It 355 at the Glen ($135), AAA Texas 500 ($114), Irwin Tools Night Race ($99), and Food City 500 ($87)! Which drivers will qualify for one of the 43 spots? On Feb 16, thirteen (13) drivers will solidify their spots after single-lap qualifying; the rest of the field will be determined Feb 20 after the Budweiser Duel qualifying races.
Daytona 500 2014 Season
The Daytona 500 is popularly referred to as the "Super Bowl of stock car racing" and is always one of the most exciting NASCAR events to experience of the season. Daytona International Speedway annually buzzes with all the energy and excitement that comes at the beginning of the Sprint Cup Series, and Daytona 500 tickets always see some of the most expensive racing prices of the year due to its prestige and popularity. ACM Entertainer of the Year,
Luke Bryan
, will perform before the 56th annual race right on pit road for a rockin' pre-race concert.
Last year, Jimmie Johnson took home the Harley J. Earl trophy (in his second Daytona 500 victory), and subsequently went on to win the Sprint Cup Series. If Johnson is victorious again this time around the track, he will joining NASCAR greats Jeff Gordon and Dale Jarrett as three-time winners at Daytona. This season-opening race always sells out, so get a jump on Daytona 500 tickets with Razorgator today! The average ticket price is $212, but you can get-in for just $75 in the Allison Tower and $76 in the Lund Tower, or you can shell out $402 and sit with the best view in the house at the Sprint Tower. Make some memories at this year's Great American Race when you lock down Daytona 500 tickets today!
Under the newest Chase rules, each race winner (of the 26-race regular season) will automatically get a bid into Chase field, with 16 drivers qualifying for postseason (15 race winners and one points leader). The 10-race Chase features a new playoff format: four rounds (three three-race segments and one season finale) where four drivers will be eliminated after each round. Finally, at Homestead-Miami, the winning driver out of the four remaining in the Chase for the Sprint Cup will win the series championship. These new rules will not be implemented at Daytona, but will commence immediately after, at the

text: I think they all eventually wean. My little girl is almost 28 mos and loves to nurse and is keeping it up even though I'm pregnant and I know my supply has already decreased. If someone talks to her the first thing she'll talk to them about is her nummies - she told the mail lady 'this is a nummie and this is the other nummie and they have milk in them ' pointing to my breasts. I initiated night weaning because I couldn't handle nursing during the night after I got pregnant but otherwise I pretty much let her nurse when she wants.

Copyright Infringement of Youtube videos
...if a website embeds a YouTube video that is determined to have infringed on copyright and more than 10 people view it on that website, the owner or others associated with the website could face up to five years in prison.
If this was to pass, from what I have understood, there is nothing wrong with posting a link to the actual YouTube video with no reprecussions. I got this tonight from the political website I am a member of and they say it stands a strong chance of passing. I know there are a number of members here who have YouTube videos embedded in their posts...even as part of their signature. I just thought this was worth sharing with everybody here.

By Freedom New Mexico
For a few moments near dusk on Sunday night, Mother Nature signed off on the old and new missions of Cannon Air Force Base. Just above the eastern horizon, the soft orange glow of a jagged, nearly full rising moon shimmered above a semi-circle of C-130s that surrounded two F-16 jets and the tilt-rotor silhouette of the CV-22 Osprey.
So long, 27th Fighter Wing.
Hello, 27th Special Operations Wing.
The moonrise punctuated the closing moments of Sunday's Heritage to Horizons Dining Out event in two adjacent base aircraft hangars. Videos, scrapbooks, and equipment and aircraft displays reminded everyone of how Cannon's men and women have created a strong record of missions accomplished in the past seven decades. Others outlined how Special Operations Command has seen its role and responsibilities evolve.
Sunday's event set the tone for Monday morning's official change of command ceremony and left airmen and visitors with another striking image: The colors of the 27th Fighter Wing were carefully removed from their pole and replaced with the new colors of the 27th Special Operations Wing.
That moment closed out a 2 1/2-year transition period from possible closure of Cannon and decades of several air combat missions to our new Special Ops neighbors. Now begins the next stage of change, whose details are just now starting to be publicized. They include word that nearly $10 million will be spent on several Cannon construction projects, that the move to privatize base housing is set to begin early next year.
Other projects are in the works, among them what $5 million in state appropriations for base expansion will be spent on, how to develop an overview plan of housing, transportation, public services and other community needs that come with the growth Cannon AFB is likely to see in the next half-dozen years.
Meanwhile, as these changes take shape, take a moment to thank our 27th FW neighbors and their families for their commitment to the country and to our communities these many years. And welcome our new neighbors and families from 27th SOW.
We look forward to learning about their missions and the men and women who complete them for the Air Force, and sharing many more brilliant eastern New Mexico moonrises with them in Portales and Clovis and at the Melrose Bombing Range.

5/8 "Panic Attack"..... In the middle of it all John Petrucci nails a difficult drum solo which puts this song over the top.
Written by Regolith on 26.11.2011 at 22:32That's impressive considering he has to play guitar as well.

Wisconsin Senate leader spent $120k around recall
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Republican state Senate Leader Scott Fitzgerald has filed campaign finance reports that show he spent more than $120,000 in the weeks surrounding last month's recalls.
The reports cover the period between May 22 and June 27. Fitzgerald's show he spent $120,278 and raised $43,259 during that span. Since January he has raised $389,405 and spent $487,186.
His recall opponent, Democrat Lori Compas, raised $92,748 and spent $91,863 during the reporting period. For the year she raised $197,370 and spent $111,337.
Democrats angry with Republican Gov. Scott Walker's plan stripping most public workers of nearly all their union rights forced the governor, Fitzgerald and four other GOP officeholders in recalls. Fitzgerald, of Juneau, easily defeated Compas in the June 5 elections.

Ramblings of a modern bass clarinetist #11
Yikes, it's been way too long since I wrote any semblance of a blog post. Lots of stuff been happening. Tours, recordings, gigs, long overdue excercising to keep this body fluid and useful. By the time 2011 comes to a close there will be 4 new records by 4 different bands, all of which include yours truly playing bass clarinet. Already out is My Silence's debut album It Only Happens At Night (482 Music), released on LP and CD in June. The record features the BEAUTIFUL vocal explorations of Sharon Van Etten along with Mike Reed, Nick Butcher, and me. This record was recorded on a few different sessions and masterfully edited by Mr. Reed. For more on My Silence click here.
I'm very excited for the new Wrack record to come out! Kyle Bruckmann's outfit featuring Jen Clare Paulson, Anton Hatwich, Tim Daisy, and me has it's 3rd album set for release in October on Porter Records. Kyle's music is truly one of a kind and this record takes the band to the next level. We recorded the music following two tours which gave the band the right amount of time to settle into Kyle's music and do it justice. More news on this coming soon!
Then coming out in November on Clean Feed Records is Boris Hauf's Sextet featuring Keefe Jackson, Michael Hartman, Steve Hess, Frank Rosaly, and me. Three reeds and three drummers. This is a special date with the music brilliantly organized by Hauf's impecable musical sensibilities. For a video of this session click here. Keep an eye out for this later this Fall!
And finally, I'm super psyched to announce the debut album of my new quartet The Story This Time, due out October 18th on Delmark Records! The album features the exceptional talents of Keefe Jackson, Josh Abrams, and Frank Rosaly playing both new compostions by me and older jazz tunes by such luminaries as Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Lennie Tristano, and Thelonious Monk. Can't wait for folks to hear this one. Recorded at Riverside Studio on June 27 and 28, 2011 by Todd Carter. Liner notes by Bill Meyer. We're gonna have a record release show at The Hideout on December 14. You can pre-order The Story This Time here.
Ramblings of a Modern Bass Clarinetist #10
The new Locksmith Isidore record is out today, November 30th, 2010. I called the album Three Kinds of Happiness after Plato's idea of the same name. There are three kinds of happiness. Happiness now, saddness later. Saddness now, happiness later. And happiness now, happiness later. This simple little idea resonated heavily with me when I first heard it in a philosophy class in college. It applies to a variety of areas of life and work. It is rare to find something in life that creates a sense of happiness in the moment, and that contribues to a happiness in the future. This is the pursuit of music at it's best-at least for me. The joy that music brings me both on the bandstand and alone in my living room runs deep in my mind and body. It is more than an art. It is a way of life that permeates most every moment of my days and nights. It is an angle and a perspective on things-the way information is filtered into my conscious mind. I can only hope that in my life, I am able to continue to develop the tools and means necessary to create the most beautiful music I can. This development is the best kind of happiness. The third kind.
This record is a special one. It was recorded the evening after we shared the bill with one of my heros, Roscoe Mitchell, in the great festival in Ann Arbor-Edgefest. Seeing and hearing Roscoe play was a great inspiration to me and I think it lifted our spirits and creative minds in entering the studio the following evening after driving back to town. Roebke and Pride are always a great pleasure to work with. But on this particular session the swing felt deeper and the ideas felt more powerful. It was a smooth and propulsive session that we knew was special from the first take. I am very critical of my own work and one of the hardships of making recordings is that by the time the album is released and heard by others, it often feels as though I've moved on in my playing. That the record isn't as interesting as it would be if I could do it over in the present. This is, I think, a point of vulnerability for many artists and something that I've grown to accept and be comfortable with. But with regard to this particular recording, I do not have that overarching sense of self criticism. I am, at least this once, very happy with my record. Who knows when that will happen again. I hope at least a few times...

It's been a busy past few months. Been playing a lot of one-off gigs with different folks around Chicago.

In addition to playing shows in and around San Francicso, Portland, and Seattle, Wrack is set to record it's third album. Look out for this! Kyle is an amazing composer.

It's kind of a new beginning for this band, with more of a focus on stylized composition and improvistion. Roebke and Pride sound amazing. This record is definitely our best work yet. Stay tuned for more on this...
Some recent reviews/press:
Downbeat September 2010-Locksmith Isidore. Live at the Chicago Clean Feed Festival
. "Stein, Roebke, and Pride fed on the chamber-like intensity of the sparsely intimate space with a brilliantly tight set". -Michael Jackson. DB
Jazziz Summer 2010-Jason Stein Solo In Exchange for a Process
"In Exchange for a Process features harsh squawks and squiggles reminiscent of European saxophonists Evan Parker, John Butcher and even Peter Brotzmann." -Phil Freeman. Jazziz
All About Jazz-New York. Bass clarinet feature on two albums by Jason Stein and two with Rudi Mahall.
"(Stein and Mahall) have taken bass clarinet as their sole axe and they make a convincing case for the scope it can cover and the benefits of specialization." -John Sharpe. AAJ-NY

Busy times. Gigs, recordings, rehearsals, not to mention the time here at the keyboard on the tour front. It's always all about practicing though. Pushing everyday to find new things. That's the special work.
The new Locksmtih Isidore record is mixed and will be mastered very soon. The record is set for release later this year on the great Polish label Not Two. This new record is a definite change of pace for the band and for the the music the band is working with. With this record I took a different approach with both the writing and the improvising, choosing to explore a more "jazz oriented" music for the trio. It's mostly swinging with more composed material than on my other records. I have spent a lot of time playing straight ahead gigs in and out of Chicago and I've been sensitive about how I want to use the jazz tradition in my own music and groups. With this record I'm really putting it out there. Really intermingling the bop and free tradition. In general, my thing is all about developing a kind of fluidity and flexibility in the music. To have the whole tradition in my horn and to bring it out in an original way. I'm super excited for folks to hear the new record.
My world of playing requires a lot of flexibility. In a given week I'm playing a wide range of types and styles of music and I do my best to approach every gig with an open mind and open ears. I play with a lot of the experimental electronic musicians in town, as well as with the many amazing jazz and free jazz players in Chicago. I'm working more and more this way in Europe, as well. Last month on a Tuesday night in Switzerland I was playing standards as a special guest with a piano trio and the next night I was on a lowercase sound art gig with Lost Lucy (Fred Longberg-Holm, Isa Wiss, and Marc Unternahrer) in Luzern. The bass clarinet is so full of sounds and colors, This is enough to keep me busy for many lifetimes.

Back in Europe! I'll be over from February 26-March 11. It's been a pretty crazy past few weeks with a lot of travel and a home relocation!

Phillies Players – Strange, Fun & Unique Nicknames
It has always been a tradition in baseball to assign players a nickname. Whether that be a descriptive one, a play on words, or just plain weird, most guys seem to get one at some point that winds up sticking with them. I have compiled a list of nicknames for the 2008 Phillies that I could find and then other Phillies from years past. I tried to avoid any media-given names and just stick to the stuff the players use amongst themselves. I also put years by some of the older or more obscure player names. Hope you enjoy it…have a Happy Holiday!!!
2008 Phillies Players
Brad "Light's Out" Lidge
Charlie Manuel – Chuck
Chase "The Man" Utley or The Model (given to him by J-Roll) or Chutley (ya know, like my Chutley Smurf :O)
Cole Hamels – Hollywood Hamels
Geoff Jenkins – Jenks or Brett Favre (he is his long-lost twin :o)
Greg Dobbs – Dober (he actually doesn't like it, but everyone calls him this anyway!)
Jamie Moyer – Grand Pappy or Dyno (for Dinosaur – given to him by J-Roll)
Jayson Werth – J-Dub or Werewolf
Jimmy Rollins – J-Roll or Papa Smurf (I know this one is accurate because Jimmy told me himself that this is what he was called "back in the day.")
Juan Carlos Romero – JC (did anyone even know his real name was Juan Carlos or did you read this and go, who is this guy??)
Milt Thompson – Uncle Milty
Pat "The Bat" Burrell
Pedro Feliz – Pete Happy (literal translation of his name)
Rudy Seanez – Action Traction (I have NO idea what this is about)
Ryan Howard – The Big Man or Rhino
Shane Victorino – The Flyin' Hawaiian
Previous Phillies Players:
Antonio Alfonseca – El Pulpo or The Octopus (because he has 6 fingers on each hand….seriously…I have photos)
Bake McBride (1973-83) – Shake n' Bake
Bobby Abreu – El Comedulce – The Candy Eater
Chuck Klein (1928-44) – The Hoosier Hammerer
Darren Daulton (1983-97) – Dutch
Garry Maddox – The Secretary of Defense
Gary "Sarge" Matthews

There's three that you'd missed: Richie "Whitey" Ashburn, Dick "Don't call me Richie" Allen, and Grover Cleveland "Old Pete" Alexander.
I think Pete Rose first picked up his nickname when he played for the Reds.
Speaking of literal translations, I seem to remember "Joe Table" for Jose Mesa.
Thanks for the list of nicknames. I found a couple I didn't know of. I just started a new blog "Phillies1964" and gave an extensive list of nicknames for MLB players from 1900. Check it out!! Tags list Ballplayers Nicknames.

Officials outline complex prison issues
SOUTH CHARLESTON – To say the issues of prison overcrowding and regional jail expenses are complex might be an understatement as shown Thursday during the 2013 Associated Press Legislative Lookahead.
A 2013 Justice Reinvestment report conducted by the Justice Center of the Council of State Governors analyzed West Virginia's corrections policies and how the state could more efficiently spend funds.
The report, which was released in January, summarized three challenges. These challenges include the state's growing prison population, unsupervised prisoner release after incarceration and a failure of offenders to complete the terms of probation or parole, which is often caused by an individual's substance abuse, according to the report.
Jim Rubenstein, corrections commissioner, said the state's prison overcrowding problem is currently at a "crisis stage."
"Growth has been continual," Rubenstein said. "Any given day, our beds are full."
Joe DeLong, regional jails director, said it is a common misconception that West Virginia's jail system, too, has a problem with overcrowding. Regional jails are fine, DeLong said. The problem lies in the overflow of state-sentenced inmates.
"If we deal with the rise in the state-sentenced population that's overflowing into the jails, curb that growth a little bit and scale back on those numbers, … we should be in good shape," DeLong said.
While building another prison, a project which legislators and corrections officials say could cost up to $200 million, to house the overflow of prisoners is an obvious solution, the panel said it should be a last resort.
"At this point I don't believe it's necessary to do that," said Sen. Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha. "I think that we can enact some other measures to control the population and yet still keep West Virginia citizens safe."
Recidivism, an individual's recommitting of crimes once released, was discussed as a major issue for the state, as well. Referencing the report, the panel said, currently, offenders released early are not supervised for any period of time.
"I think there are plenty of studies that indicate if people are supervised upon their release, the chances of them committing another crime significantly decrease," Palumbo said.
Lane voiced concern, however, about some of the language in the report, which may suggest all offenders, even those of violent crimes, are worthy of supervised early release.
Lane said the state should look at individual crimes differently from one another, which might aid in cutting costs. Nine hundred new commits to correctional facilities that were identified as drug-related cost the state about $22 million dollars per year, Lane said.
"Possession is, in my mind, a little bit different than committing a crime to fund the underlying drug addiction, and they need to be treated differently," Lane said.
The lookahead, which was held at Marshall University's South Charleston campus, was comprised of four sessions in which lawmakers, as well as state administrators and department heads, formed panels to discuss some of the hottest issues of this year's legislative session.
The 81st Legislature will begin Feb. 13 with Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's State of the State Address.

Tom Philpott: Military Update
"You are a hero,'' says a man, standing on a curb outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center, as Army National Guard Major Ladda "Tammy" Duckworth walks slowly by, on artificial legs, a cane in each hand.
"I'm just trying to survive, man,'' she laughs.
"You're a hero, a survivor, you're …
"That's right," Tammy interrupts, "too stubborn to die."
"I'm involved in that amputee center they're building," the man adds. "We're going to make sure you get what you deserve."
"That's great,'' says Tammy. "I'm looking forward to being able to go there for the rest of my life."
There's not a whiff of sarcasm in her comment. Her concentration is on a pair of high-tech legs that she knows cost a combined $120,000.
Tammy Duckworth, a Black Hawk helicopter pilot in the Illinois National Guard and service manager for Rotary International, is among the most prominent of wounded U.S. soldiers from Iraq. She was thought to be dead and today she thrives. The pain was so intense at one point that she didn't sleep for five days and literally counted the seconds of every minute to show herself she could survive, a moment at a time. In her pain she had no breath to spare, and thus no way to tell loved ones not to stroke her hair or touch her undamaged arm. That only intensified the pain.
Over the last year, Tammy, 37, has testified twice before Congress on services for war veterans, been interviewed by C-Span and National Public Radio, and been featured in numerous articles including in USA Today. I met her last April, at a press club luncheon, and like everyone there was struck by her grace and strength and courage.
I wanted an interview as Veterans Day approached to learn whether Tammy's thoughts on the war were changing, perhaps like the nation, reshaped either by her own loss, the rising casualty count, or opinion polls showing public support for the Iraq war continues to slide.
While promising answers, Tammy suggested I shadow her through a day at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in Washington, D.C., starting in the third floor physical therapy gym for amputees, the "Miracle Room."
Tammy is out of her wheelchair, lying on an exercise bench, a weighted ball in her hands. She extends her arms and turns her torso to the right, then back, in steady repetitions. Her left leg, severed below the knee, rests on a cylindrical cushion. Her right leg is a mere 3-inch stump, covered now by her gym shorts.
Tammy told doctors to leave the right stump, despite the difficulty fitting a prosthetic to it, so that she might one day fly helicopters again. Flying wouldn't be an option with only one leg moving independently. Bunnie Wyckoff, her physical therapist, joined her on a visit to a Black Hawk cockpit to advise Tammy on what muscles she needs to work on.
The torso twists strengthen her stomach, including, coincidentally, stomach muscles that her "miracle" surgeons removed from over Tammy's ribcage to rebuild her right forearm, then took a skin graft from her surviving thigh to cover the ribcage.
A year ago, the day after Veterans' Day, a rocket-propelled grenade exploded against the chin bubble of the helicopter Tammy was co-piloting north of Baghdad. Tammy fought to land the aircraft, not realizing her legs were gone, her right forearm was pulverized and her pilot had the controls. Only after the helicopter landed in a clearing did Tammy lose consciousness.
Slippery with blood, she was pulled to a second helicopter and presumed to be dead. Her wounded crew chief, lying on the deck beside her, felt the warmth of Tammy's blood and advised the next crew of a medical evacuation flight to administer aid; Maj. Duckworth might still be alive.
Ten days later, she awoke at Walter Reed, husband Bryan Bowlsbey at her side to explain her injuries. Because Tammy heard staff refer to her helicopter "crash," she assumed for a few guilt-ridden days that she had crashed the helicopter and, having failed to shut off engines, tipped the aircraft and the blades sliced off her legs and injured her crew chief.
"I was devastated. I thought I deserved everything that had happened to me. I failed as a soldier, failed as a pilot, failed as a leader,'' Tammy said. "When I found out that, no, I hadn't crashed the aircraft … it resolved any conflicts that I could have had."
She hasn't had many down days since then, she says, though she concedes to being "a girly-girl" with the usual female vanities. That includes a love of shoes and fondness for high heels. Now she talks of properly programmed knees, stumble recovery systems, toe loads and vacuum seals.
Tammy said her attitude toward the war has not changed. In her mind, it has always been about protecting America and, as a woman officer, sharing equally in the opportunity to serve and face the risks of war.
"My sacrifice was for my country. It wasn't for Iraq," she said.

A state appeal panel has upheld the Champaign School District
4 decision to deny the charter school proposed by the Champaign-Urbana
Charter School Initiative (CUCSI).
The Champaign School District voted in April to deny the
charter. CUCSI subsequently requested an appeal through the
State Board of Education. Illinois' Charter Schools Law provides
that organizations may seek reversal by the State Board of
local board decisions to deny charters. The State Board may
reverse those local decisions if the proposals are found to
be in compliance with the State's Charter School Law
CUCSI proposed to establish a charter school to serve grades
kindergarten through eight open to students in Champaign School
District 4 and Urbana School District 116. The Urbana district
had previously approved the charter proposal.
The Champaign district's denial claimed that the CUCSI could
not fulfill contingencies set forth in the proposal and that
it did not conform to the Charter Schools Law in the following
The three-member appeal panel conducted a hearing in October
to give both parties the opportunity to outline their views.
Based on that hearing and the written material submitted by
the Champaign district and CUCSI, the panel based its final
recommendation on the following points:
The panel did conclude that the economic soundness of
the proposed charter school is questionable. The proposed
budget depends heavily on grants and loans and the scope
of the program would need to be altered significantly
if those loans and grants are not received. "The
budget (also) fails to include several likely costs or
expenses and in some areas does not appear realistic in
assessing costs," the panel noted. The budget does
not include a contingency plan for meeting expenses, it
fails to show how the requested planning year would be
funded, it includes no funds to provide special education
programming, and the cost of building renovations is "not
readily apparent in the budget." Consequently, the
panel found that the proposal is not in compliance with
Section 27A-7(a)(9) of the Charter Schools Law.
The Appeal Panel concluded that the charter proposal submitted
by CUCSI does not comply with the statutory provisions of
the Charter Schools Law, citing specifically:
The Appeal Panel therefore recommended that the State Superintendent
deny the request by CUCSI to overrule the Champaign School
District 4 decision to deny the charter. State Superintendent
of Education Robert E. Schiller reviewed the record and the
Panel's report and notified CUCSI and Champaign district officials
that he had signed an administrative order adopting the Panel's
findings and recommendation.

In Obama's famous DNC Convention speech, Obama says, "My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. His father — my grandfather — was a cook, a domestic servant to the British."
Kezia, Obama Sr.'s first wife tells a story that puts Obama's account to lie.
Kezia said: In 1955 Obama Sr. was 18 and working in an office in Nairobi, when he took Kezia from her family at the age of 16. Her father was furious.
"He did not like Obama. My father and brothers came to Nairobi to bring me back. They said I had to go back to school.
"When I wouldn't, they said they would never speak to me again.
"Barack was also worried about what his father would think because I was so young, but he gave us his approval. Obama's father (often described as poor) sent my mother and father 14 cows for my dowry.
Just how can a cook, a domestic servant to the British, provide a dowry of 14 cattle for Senior's first wife? Also, Obama's father had been working in a Nairobi office since the age 16, not herding goats.
As an aside, can you imagine if a Republican was running for president and it came out that his father had bought his first wife for 14 cows???!!!Just wow!! AOH.com

In response to the letter I received from you dated December 22, 2011 regarding the proposed Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) regulations, I wish to address certain issues regarding development of the Marcellus Shale.
Your letter stated, "Pennsylvania's citizens have been extraordinarily patient. We have worked in good faith with our commission partners to address their concerns and it is disappointing that our good faith efforts have not been reciprocated. I believe this regulatory package ensures that natural gas is developed in a manner that protects our water resources and holds operators to the highest standards in the nation. This decision will further delay the creation of much-needed jobs, delay securing our energy independence and infringes upon the property rights of thousands of Pennsylvanians."
First of all, you are the one that is being impatient. The fact that you accepted over $1 million from the gas industry for your political campaign makes us all suspect of your intentions for our state. From what I can see, you are pushing for legislation that will unfairly benefit the gas industry by imposing an inadequate impact fee instead of a real severance tax, and will take away our towns' zoning rights. You are systematically giving the gas companies free rein. I strongly urge you and the legislature to stop debating HB1950 and SB1100 and start all over when the legislature resumes on January 17.
Secondly, I do not know how you can in good conscience say that you have "worked in good faith" to protect our water resources, when you and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Krancer have done everything in your powers to diminish the DEP's regulatory authority in favor of the gas industry. You both are falling miserably when it comes to protecting us and "holding operators to the highest standards in the nation."
For example, I recently read in the Scranton Times-Tribune that the DEP has submitted a request for permitting the spreading of salt brine from drilling wastewater to be applied on our roads for de-icing. This is a prime example of the absurdity at the DEP. Another black eye for the DEP is the discontinuing of drinking water to the people in Dimock. A legal agreement was made between the DEP and Cabot, which has now been disregarded. Hopefully, the EPA will step in and do the right thing. It is obvious that the DEP is grossly underfunded and undermanned and cannot do the job it is obligated to do. We are in jeopardy of a losing our pristine surroundings and being deprived of our rights under the Pennsylvania Constitution of "clean air and clean water."
Last but not least, I would like to address the issue of "securing our energy independence." Do you really think that all this gas will set us free from foreign oil and we will have abundant, cheap energy? The fact is that almost 50% of all the Marcellus gas leases are currently owned by France, China, Japan and other countries. Isn't it ironic that foreign countries will then control the flow of gas and the prices we have to pay? Once this gas is refined and put in tankers and shipped overseas, there goes our "energy independence" right out the window, which is where I think you should put your policies.
So, Governor Corbett, until you and the DEP get your priorities straight, we the citizens of Pennsylvania demand that you place a moratorium on gas drilling and vote "no" on drilling in the Delaware River Basin. There is just too much at stake in fast-tracking gas drilling in our state. Slow down; the gas has been there millions of years and it is not going anywhere soon. Be a good steward of our land. Our neighbors in New York are being very cautious, and we also need to be.

[Editor's note: The Kennedys provided the following account of their recent involvement in a peaceful protest of the Keystone XL Pipeline. They will participate in a discussion on November 13, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Tusten Branch of the Western Sullivan Public Library on Bridge Street in Narrowsburg, NY.
For details, visit www.riverreporteronline.com/feature/16/2011/10/26/washington-and-wall-street-%E2%80%98women-wisdom%E2%80%99-talk-civil-disobedience]
On Sunday, November 6, exactly one year before the 2012 presidential election, over 12,000 people from all over the U.S. and Canada rallied at the White House to ask President Barak Obama to say "no" to the Keystone XL Pipeline. We were among them. This was our second trip to DC to protest this pipeline meant to carry corrosive tar sands oil from Alberta Canada across the heartland of the U.S. to the Gulf of Mexico.
In August, we were part of a wave of over 1,200 arrests in front of the White House that took place over the course of two weeks. The August tar sands action was one of the biggest, sustained civil disobedience actions since the epic actions of the civil rights movement.
We returned to Washington last weekend to stand with thousands of others. People were not there just to protest a pipeline; we were there because we believe that now is the time to make a stand against the fossil fuel industry that is killing our present and robbing our future.
Oil from tar sands, coal from mountaintop removal, natural gas fracked from shale formations deep in the earth, all mean energy acquired in the most dirty and damaging ways possible, ways that destroy lands, poison waters and fill our atmosphere with the carbon dioxide propelling the radical destabilization of our climate. Leading climate change activist Bill McKibben calls the Keystone XL a "carbon bomb." Allowing the development of tar sands oil would mean, in the words of NASA scientist James Hansen, "game over" for the climate.
The speakers at the rally included notables like McKibben and fracking activist, actor Mark Ruffalo. They also included Indigenous people like Oglala Lakota Chief Tom Poor Bear, evangelical reverend Jim Wallis, Nobel Laureate Jody Williams, labor leaders, a Nebraska rancher and student organizers. Together they took apart the story told over and over again by the fossil fuel industry—that fossil fuels are the only real choice for producing the energy we need; that the fossil fuel industry alone can create the jobs that struggling Americans need to survive.
Of course, building pipelines and extracting fuels from the most difficult places to reach on the earth create jobs, dirty, dangerous jobs, "boomtown" jobs that disappear in the long term and leave in their wake expensive consequences, like ruined lands and waters and broken communities. The farmers, ranchers and the small town citizens of America's rural heartland were out in force at the rally to talk about the loss of a way of life if this pipeline comes through their lands and their communities.
They talked about how the big corporations are bent on impoverishing small family farmers and ranchers. And once they have lost everything to big agribusiness and the meat industry, the big money offered by the fossil fuel industry is hard to resist.
They described other choices, noting that if we can build huge oil rigs in the middle of the ocean or the frozen tundra or huge pipelines thousands of miles long that cut across forests, farms and people's homelands, we can build factories for windmills or solar panels and infrastructure to carry the energy of wind and sun to our towns and cities.
So we stood in front of the White House, mother and daughter among thousands of mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and grandparents and their grandchildren, and sent our president a different message; a message that has been reverberating in the Occupy movements springing up in cities all across America. People are tired of feeling voiceless and tired of being told that the course of their lives is in the control of the rich and powerful. Ours is a message about values, about who and what we will value as a nation and a people.
At Bill McKibben's signal, the tar sands protestors spread out and encircled the entire White House. We stood peacefully, arms linked, holding signs printed with Barak Obama's own promises from his inspirational 2008 campaign, among them, "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." It was a powerful, colorful, moving sight—people of every age and multiple ethnicities standing together for our generation and for future generations.
Barak Obama can say no to this pipeline all by himself. He can make the decision as a father and a teacher that now is the time to make sure that all children have a future filled with promise, not with dirty oil.
The people gathered at this rally were not protesting for big money or power. They were protesting for decent lives on their farms and ranches, on their indigenous homelands and in their small and large communities, where clean water and natural spaces are not destroyed by leaking pipelines and oil and gas rigs. They were protesting for an earth that can "begin to heal," and we were proud to be among them.

The open house will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Beeville Community Center, 111 E. Corpus Christi St., and conclude at 9 p.m.
"Beeville's changing," said Elizabeth Galloway. Newcomers are showing up in every neighborhood and residents who have lived in the city for years are seeing new faces on their streets all the time.
"Getting to know your neighbors is a good idea," Galloway said.
She became aware of the importance of knowing one's neighbors during a citywide meeting a year ago when residents attended to hear police officers speaking on juvenile gangs in the community. At the end of that meeting, some of those attending mentioned the idea of Neighborhood Watch programs.
Galloway and her husband, businessman and former mayor John Galloway, were encouraging attendance at the April 26 meeting this week.
"Everyone in the community is invited to come with their family to learn more about Neighborhood Watch and how it could benefit their area," Galloway said.
County Judge David Silva will address those at the meeting. BPD Crime Prevention Officer Patrolman Greg Baron will be there to provide information and answer questions. Light refreshments will be served.
"Neighborhood Watch is not just about putting up signs," Mrs. Galloway said. "Working with the police department, we have learned that it is critical to stay in contact with your neighbors and be alert as to who goes in and out of your neighborhood. We have listened to crime reports, learned to be aware of our surroundings and when and how to report suspicious situations to the police."
"We have been assured by Chief Joe Treviño that the police department is dedicated to making Beeville a safer community and that having a Neighborhood Watch group will help in achieving that goal."
The BPD has the city divided into zones for patrol. The organization the Galloways started is called 3.1, because it was the first watch group formed in Zone 3. Shortly after their organization formed, Neighborhood Watch 3.2 was formed.
Two more groups are forming right now, Galloway said – one in Zone 3 and another in Zone 2 near Kohler Park.
"Don't ever be afraid to call the police," Galloway said. Communication between neighbors and between neighbors and police is essential.
She told of one woman in her neighborhood who came home and heard a noise in her bedroom. She heard someone leaving the house and when she went to check, she found that her drawers had been dumped and her television had been unplugged.
"What happens when the (Neighborhood Watch) signs go up is that the activity slows down. Then the residents of the neighborhood become complacent, and problems start again.
If burglars and thieves realize residents of a certain neighborhood will call the police when they see suspicious activity, they will avoid that neighborhood.
At least one burglary suspect has been arrested recently when a suspicious homeowner called police to report a stranger walking in her neighborhood.
Galloway said that when burglars and thieves realize residents of a certain neighborhood will call the police to check out strangers, they will quit going to those neighborhoods.

Wis. lawmakers try again on drunken driving laws
Two Republican legislators say they'll try again this session to overhaul Wisconsin's drunken driving laws.
Rep. Jim Ott of Mequon and Sen. Alberta Darling of River Hills say they plan to introduce bills that would criminalize first-time offenses for drivers with high blood alcohol percentages; require first-time offenders to appear in court; make a third conviction a felony; establish mandatory minimum sentences for drunken drivers that cause injuries or death; and require police to seize drunken drivers' cars beginning with a third-time offense
The package closely mirrors bills Ott and Darling pushed during the last session. None of those proposals got a vote after fiscal estimates showed they would have cost the state tens of millions of dollars.
Ott says those estimates were unrealistic.

Heaters can be divided into various categories on many bases like fuel type, brand name, energy efficiency, heat output, range and more.

If you are already familiar with the space, choosing a heater becomes much easier. Keeping this in mind, Heater-Store.com has dedicated a page to help you to choose the right heater. Here, heaters are categorized according to the type of room they are suited for.

FEMA continues to reimburse WVDOH
Substantial amounts of federal reimbursement money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are continuing to flow into the bank account of the West Virginia Department of Transportation.
Brent Walker, a WVDOT communications director who works at the department headquarters in Charleston, said several packets of reimbursement funds have come from FEMA this year. Money received from FEMA is being granted because of cleanup efforts completed after severe, destructive storms such as the June 29 derecho and Superstorm Sandy.
Walker said $393,827 was received Jan. 17 and $224,907 was received Jan. 25. He also said a payout of approximately $4.4 million is expected next week.
This money, he said, is granted to the central DOT state office, not to individual counties. It is the responsibility of the central office to determine where funds are needed in individual counties.
"We reapportion it back to the counties where money is spent," Walker said.
He said it is surprising to some that money being received now by the DOT is not directly associated with the most recent storm, Sandy.
The monetary figures listed above are associated more closely with the June derecho, Walker said, even though requests for reimbursement have been granted locally in the past several months.
"FEMA is thorough, but slow," he said.
Walker said there is no timetable for when reimbursement for costs associated with Sandy will be received.
Donny Williams, an incident coordinator who works for the DOT in Morgantown, explained the process of reimbursement. He said an incident will take place – such as the derecho or Sandy – and the DOT in each county will respond accordingly with cleanup efforts as they are needed.
After cleanup, each county tallies their expenses, including those costs associated directly with the DOT and any private contractors being utilized in tandem with the DOT. The costs are then sent to FEMA in a request for reimbursement.
At that point, Williams said, FEMA will create a project worksheet that outlines costs incurred from each county. If reimbursement is deemed necessary, funds are distributed to the DOT as a statewide entity.

The raccoon dog is now found across Japan and throughout Europe where it has been introduced and appears to be thriving. Historically however, the raccoon dog's natural range stretched through Japan and across eastern China where the raccoon dog is now extinct in many parts. Raccoon dogs are found inhabiting forests and woodland, that is close to water.
Raccoon dogs are unique canines as they are the only dog-like mammal that hibernates through the winter. Although raccoon dog hibernation is not true hibernation, it means that raccoon dogs are able to sleep through severe snowstorms when there is not enough food to allow them to survive. Raccoon dogs usually become more active again in February when the warmer, spring weather begins to return.
There are five different species of raccoon dog found across eastern Asia and in parts of Europe, all of which have been severely affected by deforestation of their native woodlands. Raccoon dogs are also known to have incredibly dexterous front paws which come in very handy when trying to catch slippery food in the water and when climbing trees.
Raccoon dogs are carnivorous animals meaning that they only hunt and eat other animals in order to survive. As raccoon dogs spend a great deal of time close to water, their diet is primarily made up from frogs and fish along with rodents, small birds, eggs and invertebrates such as insects and spiders.
The wolf is the main predator of the raccoon dog as packs of wolves are known to kill large numbers of raccoon dogs in the spring and summer months when they are also feeding their growing young. Foxes and wildcats are the other main predators of the raccoon dog along with humans who have hunted them for their meat and thick fur.
Raccoon dog pups are usually born when the summer begins in late April to early May. After a gestation period of up to 12 weeks, the female raccoon dog gives birth to a litter of between 5 and 16 raccoon dog pups which are blind when they are first born. Both raccoon dog parents help to raise their young until they are big enough to become independent and begin hunting for themselves.
Today, although raccoon dog populations are thriving in their introduced habitats in Europe, wild populations in the far east have been rapidly declining mainly due to over-hunting and habitat loss.

Fellowships allow students to work on nonprofit research, programs
Posted on October 04, 2012
Three Grand Valley State University students have been selected to work on "Our State of Generosity," a project at the university's Johnson Center for Philanthropy.
Jennifer McGraw, a graduate student in the School of Social Work, was selected as the first Joel J. Orosz Fellow in Philanthropy. Brooke Hotchkiss, an undergraduate social work major, and Jacob Scheller, a graduate student in the School of Public, Nonprofit and Health Administration, were selected as the Kathy Agard fellows in Community Philanthropy.
"Our State of Generosity" is a project that will provide the international nonprofit and philanthropic field with insights on Michigan's experience in growing philanthropy. The goal is to offer information that can enhance the effectiveness of philanthropy in other states and emerging societies. It is expected to launch during the summer of 2013.
McGraw, Scheller and Hotchkiss will conduct research, writing, and other tasks, in addition to collaborating with the leadership team.
Robin Leonard serves as the project coordinator for the Johnson Center, and provides overall management while working with the core group, partner organizations, and advisory committee to form consensus and direction for the project.
The ongoing fellowship programs honor both Dr. Kathy Agard and Dr. Joel J. Orosz's years of service and dedication.
Agard had a significant impact on the field of community philanthropy, and the Michigan Community Foundations' Youth Project and Learning to Give. Agard retired as Executive Director of the Johnson Center for Philanthropy in December 2010.
Orosz has made many significant contributions to the field of philanthropy, including serving as program director at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and as a distinguished professor of philanthropic studies for the Johnson Center, where he was founding director of The Grantmaking School.
For more information on the Agard and Orosz fellows and fellowships, visit gvsu.edu/jcp.
