Sentencing in Vt: Factor in cost?
MONTPELIER As part of an effort to curb rising corrections budgets, the Senate is contemplating legislation that would require Vermont judges to consider the cost of a sentence before handing down jail time.
Sen. Dick Sears, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said it would be up to individual judges to decide whether to allow the information to influence their sentencing decisions. But with the annual cost of incarcerating an inmate in Vermont at $45,000, Sears said judges at least ought to be aware of the financial consequences of their decisions.
Im not suggesting we shouldnt lock somebody up for 20 years, Sears said Tuesday. But if we do, its going to cost us $650,000, in todays dollars, and we need people in the system to be asking themselves: Is that a good investment?
Requiring judges to consider the cost of their sentences is the most controversial provision in a bill that seeks broader reforms to the sentencing process. The bill would provide judges information about the average sentences for certain crimes a measure aimed at remedying the disparity in sentencing across county lines. The bill also would institute a risk assessment for offenders, before sentencing, as a means of helping judges evaluate the merits of various options.
Bram Kranichfeld, the new executive director of the Department of States Attorneys and Sheriffs, said cost should have no bearing on sentencing.
You can end up with unfair results, you can end up with arbitrary results, if a judge is required in every case to take cost into account, Kranichfeld said.
He said states attorneys support efforts to track the costs of various sentencing options, and to come up with metrics that might help determine how successful various sentences are. But he said issues of cost should be used to shape policy, not to influence the length of a sentence in a specific case.
If a judge was otherwise going to give someone life in prison for a horrible crime, would it be appropriate to give them less than that solely because of the cost? Kranichfeld said. On lower-level cases, its the same sort of issue. Would it be appropriate for a judge to give someone 20 days in jail if he or she thought 30 days in jail was appropriate and equitable, simply because the 10 extra days is going to cost more?
Sears said the issue of price shouldnt play a role in sentencing for violent crimes.
But it maybe should have some impact on some crimes that are nonviolent in nature, which is an area weve been working over the past eight years trying to lower recidivism, Sears said. OK, I can put this baggy-pant kid in jail for awhile and its going to cost me $75,000, or I can put him in drug treatment and itll cost me $10,000. If hes been breaking into cars and stealing stuff, you need a punishment. But with such limited resources now, maybe cost ought to be a factor in what you want to do with him.
When considering sentencing options, Vermont statute currently directs judges to consider the nature and circumstances of the crime, the history and character of the defendant, the need for treatment and the risk to self, others and the community at large.
Defender General Matt Valerio, who oversees a public defense system that represents the vast majority of defendants in criminal cases, said lawyers in his office have in the past sought to use cost as a factor in sentencing. In every case, Valerio said, they have roundly been shot down.
Valerio said cost should be a factor in sentencing, especially in instances when courts are weighing retribution versus rehabilitation.
If you feel like you want to take out societys anger with a situation on a person, rather than getting them a rehabilitative sentence, then we ought to know what thats going to cost so you know how much youre going to spend for society to impose its punishment, he said.
No matter how hard the legislative and executive branches work to reduce the cost of the criminal justice system, Sears said, theyll always need a willing partner in the judiciary.
Because when people get (sentenced to jail), Sears said, (jails) cant put up a No vacancy sign.

Breastfeeding was going smoothly for the first three weeks. Then my daughter started rejecting the second breast at a few feeds. I then developed mastitis pretty badly one weekend and thought it was caused by her not emptying both breasts at each feed. I started pumping the other breast that wasn't being used at each feeding fearing that I would get mastitis again. Then problems started happening. I believe I must have had oversupply from the beginning because I always had an OALD and of course she was satisfied sometimes with just one breast. I think I made it worse by pumping. So I read some of the articles on this site and determined I had OS and started block feeding (one breast offered at each feeding). That was two weeks ago.
Since then I have had an extremely fussy baby who spits up and occasionally has slimy stools (mostly yellow) and will not sleep very well anymore (she slept fairly well during the day and only up twice at night before). I started cutting out dairy and I think it helped a little so far, but now she is waking up to eat every two hours or so (sometimes less)! I am wondering if my oversupply problem is under control and I should go back to using both sides. She seems content with one side, although she only eats for about 10-12 minutes, and sometimes when I try to offer the second breast she acts like she doesn't want it. I often have to work to get her to take it. But we are waking around the clock to eat and I don't think that is right for a two-month old baby.
Right now I am worried she is not getting healthy sleep because the rest of the household certainly isn't. The doctor just says she is growing good so not to worry. I am very worried.
So my questions are
1. Is oversupply corrected if baby wants to eat so often (waking out of sleep crying uncontrollably)?
2. Should I continue to take her off at let-downs as to avoid gas, hiccups, etc.? If so do I need to do it for each let down in a feeding? I often have about three.
3. How do I know if oversupply or food sensitivity is the problem?
Please help! Thank you!

Winemaker Notes "Unmistakably Cabernet Sauvignon from "up the hill" at Long Meadow Ranch. The lovely, earthy aromas remind me of the ranch on a warm autumn afternoon. There is plenty of vibrant, forward fruit (plum, black cherry, dried cranberries, blackberry cobbler) to provide a counterpoint and additional layers of interest. The pleasing entry is both structured and broad and yields to an integrated, balanced mid-palate in which all the flavors deepen and blend. The finish is characterized by lingering sweet fruit and a seamless, mouthwatering texture. This LMR Cabernet Sauvignon will surely complement a broad range of everyday and special dishes. Enjoy!" - Ashley Heisey

Marlena Hartz : Freedom Newspapers
The word rang out over and over during federal deliberations over the fate of Cannon Air Force Base: enclave. It is the word Base Closure and Realignment Commissioner Samuel Skinner used to keep the base open.
In his Cannon amendment, Skinner suggested the base enclave — slowly diminish its capacities and send its assets elsewhere. The amendment passed, six commissioners voting in favor, one not, and two abstaining.
What Skinner did not say was what turning the base into a temporary enclave, through 2009, means for the Clovis-Portales area and the base itself. Those details were left largely unsketched, as was the future of the base.
Although nobody explained the details of enclavement to Committee of Fifty member Randy Harris, he doesn't have trouble picturing a Cannon of the future.
"What the commissioners are saying (to the Air Force and the Department of Defense) is 'Move forward with your plans to move the planes, but while you are moving forward, the base is still open. During this four-year window, you determine if there is a mission for Cannon,' " Harris said on a flight home from the Virginia-based BRAC deliberations.
Harris, in fact, is embracing the days ahead, he said. The months leading up to the BRAC deliberations were hectic and rushed; now, time is on Cannon's side, Harris said.
"There has to be personnel at the base to fly the planes until the mission is moved, which won't happen until 2008, as outlined in the BRAC guidelines. Now all of that rush and hurry up is over. This gives us a unique advantage to take a good look at the opportunities that might be out there," Harris said.
He predicts a vastly different future for the base, under its belt more than six decades of operation.
"It could be Army, could be homeland defense. The key is the mission doesn't just have to be Air Force," Harris said.
Ten years ago, in the last BRAC round, three installations were designated military enclaves, according to the Government Accountability Web site, www.gao.gov.
Philadelphia Naval Business Center was one such installation. The center was enclaved, the site said, "because the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania did not respond to the Navy's request to change the jurisdiction of the Navy-retained land."
Cannon, on the other hand, was handed the designation as a prescription to commissioner woes over the suffocating economic impact — some have said one-third of the economy is tied to Cannon — closing the base would have on the Clovis-Portales area, commissioners said.
"The state of New Mexico will still be engaged with its (legal and analytical) consultants. The next few months will be very busy," said Committee of Fifty member Chad Lydick, also traveling home from Friday's federal deliberations.
Mirroring his colleagues expressions, Lydick said the future of Cannon is as wide open as the air space of which Cannon backers boast.
"It wouldn't surprise me at all if we move away from the Air Force. The interest is out there," Lydick said.

I have a friend I speak with regularly about this, who is a lot smarter than you are that says some of the things in the article are taken out of context, but in the same token it does lend to more accuracies than any other religious posting he's seen by far.
I'll take his word over yours. You're a evolutionary zealot. You can't even be open to the possibility of being incorrect. That's a sheer lack of humility.
Meanwhile, things like the supposed times square bomb threat(I have serious issues with it) keep making it easier and easier for the gov's to start restricting religious freedoms. What happens when a real bomb plot does not get foiled? Banning religion, thats what. Who will you give the credit to for the death of religion?

Local FFA members recently stepped into national events, and in some cases, the national spotlight.
Texico, Elida and Dora students participated in the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, and Texico FFA members competed in the American Royal Livestock Show in Kansas City, Mo. Both events were in late October.
Texico FFA adviser Tod Pinnell said teams that won first place in their events at state conventions competed at the national convention, while state second-place teams were invited to the American Royal show.
Also, two area students — Ryan Best of Elida and Holly Harrison of Texico — received their FFA American Degree.
Best said the degree is the highest level of FFA membership and about 1 percent of members achieve it. Students earn the honor based on supervised agriculture and entrepreneurship experience.
"It's something I've been looking forward to ever since my grand dad told me he got his in 1951," Best said.
Best, a 2009 graduate of Elida High School, was in sixth grade when he learned of his grandfather's achievement.
"It's hard for me to convey to you the significance of it," he said. "It's one of those things, once a student sets his mind to it, it's really neat when he can accomplish it."
The American Degree is one requirement to run for national FFA office, which Best hopes to do next year.
Texico FFA's poultry-judging team took fourth place at the national convention, while the chapter's dairy team came in eighth. The livestock-judging team from Texico earned fourth place at the American Royal show.
"They worked really hard in order to get to participate in those, and they used their strengths and abilities and went and represented their community really well," Pinnell said of his students.
He said the teenagers are sharp, and the school has supported them.
"I expect great things from those kids as well as many others we have right now," Pinnell said. "They're all a credit to their community. … I'm humbled to work with the kids I get to see every day."
Also, a group of Dora FFA members attended the national convention as a reward for winning the Sweepstakes award, the overall top position, at the last state FFA Convention, said chapter adviser Kit Pettigrew. FFA member Logan Bilbrey said their dairy foods team was eligible to compete at the national convention, but two members had gone on to college and couldn't come.
Pettigrew said the Dora FFA representatives attended workshops, motivational speeches and a trade show at the convention. On the way to and from the event, their experiences included trips to a tobacco farm and soy bean farm, visits to the Louisville Slugger plant and Churchill Downs, and a ride to the top of the Arch in St. Louis.
"The kids really enjoyed it," Pettigrew said. "They also got a lot of education benefit out of it."
Bilbrey, a junior, said the career show at the convention stuck out to him because of the many vendors wanting to show how they supported FFA. Even though they're big businesses, they want to assist organizations that help youth, he said.
Bilbrey appreciated the closing speeches of the national officers as well because the statements showed how the officers had given time to make FFA better for each school.
"I learned that since we're ag kids, we should try to better ourselves to help the community," he said.

Volunteer Fishing and Boating
Blog Categories:
Energy and the Environment
My name is Mitch and I am a volunteer fishing instructor for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and an Anglers' Legacy Ambassador. The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation's (RBFF) Anglers' Legacy Program is a nationwide mentoring program to introduce newcomers to fishing and boating.
Through this program, passionate outdoor enthusiasts "Take the Pledge" to take someone new fishing and more than 150,000 nationwide have signed up for the program. I took the Pledge to share my fishing legacy and skill with anyone that has never hooked a nice big Rainbow Trout or Steelhead in Oregon.
From very young kids, to returning veterans with disabilities, I get immense enjoyment volunteering with ODFW as a fishing instructor. Also, I have formed a new NW Steelheaders chapter, which provides enticing fishing opportunities for folks new to the sport, or just having a tough time catching a fish.
I proposed to ODFW to have the regulations changed at the nearby Canby, Oregon pond to expand fishing opportunities for kids under 17 years of age and for holders of disabled fishing licenses. These changes were approved and took effect Jan 2009.
Participants are usually met here with volunteers ready with donated local expertise, equipment, and bait. The pond had previously not been stocked for several years, and was in unfishable shape. Now, folks drive from surrounding cities to use a pond with a friendly family atmosphere.
The city has also made great improvements to the park, and folks with respect for the outdoors have begun to return to enjoy its beauty.
At the nearby Molalla River, I spearhead events to take soldiers fishing, linking a vet with a proper boat captain or fisherman that fits their needs and skill level. I take returning veterans for drift boat trips down the scenic waterway, for a chance at hooking and releasing a wild and native Steelhead. Many suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Steelhead fishing is a great way to keep them active and feeling good.

Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
But talking about Gallinari now that he's a Knick, I don't remember the last time I got excited for our Knicks rookie. This is much much more interesting than when we drafted Lee, Balkman, Frye, or Sweetney. And let me make myself clear that I'm no big fan of Gallinari. But his rookie season would be a great watch cause expectations of our rookie have never been this high in a long time. I'd even go as far as suggest that we give him at least 20-25 minutes per game.
Start fresh under new management! We don't need any more unproven veterans! Go for youth!
I guess the girls wanna find out the truth behind his nickname lol
Welcome to NYC!!!!
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
I think you make some big mistakes.
First of all, you underrate european basketball: generally speaking you underrate all basketball that is not NBA. And that is a bad mistake.
An then, you judge a player (Gallinari) that you have never seen playing.
I saw Danilo playing so may times in the last three years, and I can assure you he is an amazing player. He has a great tecnique, he can shot from every point of the court, he can go to the basket in penetration, he can play in post, back to the basket. He is a very good difensive player and he has a great mental strenght. I think it's a very good choise for New York Knicks: I'm sure you all will be very happy of him in the next seasons.
Good luck for the next season, I hope Knicks could have a winnig-season.
Sorry if my english isn't perfect!
OT: damn, that Cassie is hotter than hot!
Only time will tell how he turns out, i think any change of direction at the moment is a good one for the Knicks.
European Basketball is better than people think.
i hope rooster (i ain't calling him big ****) has a good season for us... mock drafts projected this cat top 5... i also saw some analysists having him going to NJ... with us taking augustine... i'm no longer being optimistic about our squad... since i thought we had the talent to make the playoffs last season... but i think gallo fills a void for us at 3... since q's back is shot... balkman can't play offense and chandler will likely be a role player at best...
i just hope that whatever we do... we can attract quality players and draft well enough to be a force in 3 - 5 years... i really want us to raise another banner in my lifetime...
But when it's time for war
I'm trying to score like Bernard King
"Behind Closed Doors"
~Pharaoh Monch
i heard gallo isnt done growing yet. he's 6'9 right now so probably expect him to be about 6'10 maybe 6'11 by his prime and lets hope he can put alot more pounds of muscle so he can be a dominant 4 once we ship out zach.

Hey, Lori, I'm wondering if that might say "Holy Bonds" rather than "Holy Hands"? I admit that first letter doesn't look much like his other capital B's, but it doesn't look much like the capital H in Holy either, and "Holy Bond of Matrimony" is a fairly common expression. See what you think...
BTW, that's kind of an interesting "document," being handwritten on ordinary paper. It caught my attention because my grandparents' marriage record is also just a handwritten statement on plain paper!
Thanks for the correction. I have updated the post. I accepted this document as it was stamped by the "Office of Dominion Lands Ottawa" received in 1881. I would think this was produced to claim compensation for lands taken.

You can't go home again
I have experienced a long, long list of emotions over the past eight months. In January my sister, Juanita, suffered a fatal heart attack. She was in a coma until Feb. 1, when she passed away. On April 1, we placed her urn in the ground at the family cemetery on the Piercy farm.
When we went for the April service, Juanita's daughter, Lara, and Lara's children walked from the cemetery across the road down to the old farm house, the creek, the barn and the property where I spent my childhood. I could not go. Looking at the home place now, it is easy to see that absolutely nothing is as it was. I wanted to remember the home place as it had been 50 years ago when I walked it.
Just this month, Juanita's lifelong friend, Patty (Hepler) Dietrich was in for her summer visit. She and her husband, Fred, made a trip to the cemetery to visit Juanita's grave. While there, they ventured down to the house and the other buildings still left standing after all these years.
Fred took lots of pictures; he's really a pro at it. And they emailed these to me, saying I may want to look at them and, then again, I may not. I looked and all those emotions I first mentioned came flooding back. I wiped tears as I looked at the photos, close-up shots of how things look now. This is what went through my mind, and the message I emailed back to Patty.
"All the life is gone. Where did it go? The photo inside the house and I recognize nothing. It's like our family was never there. And all the trash thrown about in the barn when it was once so in order. The photo of the roof trusses in the barn. All the years I read books up there and never noticed the simple beauty and symmetry of them.
"And, yet . . . There is still life. The deer in the field where the grass is still green. The Monarch butterfly on the purple bloom of clover. And the creek still runs clear. And the sky is still blue over it all. And my heart will never, never rest anywhere else. Thank you for taking me back. In the depth of my soul, I really never have left."
And these last few days, I had to wonder how many others feel the way I do about the place where they grew up. It didn't have to be a family farm. Maybe it was a house on a street in downtown Elkins, or a house up a back road somewhere out in the county. Wherever it was, it is not the same or, simply, is no more.
And where does that leave us? I have years and years of memories of where I grew up – a storehouse of them. I wouldn't trade them for anything. They made me who I am – both good and bad! The house was painted as white as the clouds above it then, and we were proud of it and kept it that way. It welcomed numerous friends and relatives over the years, where they found solace and hospitality unlimited. The house was a shelter for me, a place of security and love and belonging.
Now it stands as an empty shell, forgotten and abandoned, with windows boarded up or missing altogether, leaving gaping holes for the snow and rain to blow in. The siding is broken away and falling off, and the grass all the way around the house is hip high and just weeds.
The granary has completely fallen in, and there is no trace of the cellar dug into the side of the hill. The machine shed went as a next-door victim of the granary, when it once was the parking spot for the Massey Ferguson tractor.
The barn, the chicken house, the fields, the pond behind the house, the front yard, the road up the hollow, the creek – all full of life and work and pride and accomplishment when we were there. There was an unspoken spirit to it all, and we carried that with us while there, and even now.
And that brings both sadness and joy to me. I am so grateful it was the place God chose to put me to grow; my regret is that it is now forgotten. But I suppose that's the way it was meant to be. I think of the farm as my home place, as well as for Juanita and sister Nancy, our parents and their parents. It cannot be that for anyone else; the Piercys were the "pioneers" there. All the other people out there have their own home places.
And those places are where we go, in our minds and hearts, when we want to remember how it was. For me, it couldn't have been better. So, if I'm honest in looking at all those photos Patty sent, the last emotion I felt was overwhelming gratitude that there was life there for many years. I am a testament to that. That's what I'll tuck away in my heart and keep for comfort when I need it. I hope you have a place where you can go and tuck it away, too.

DD is only 4 months old, but I've been reading about making baby food and introducing it, etc etc. I had hoped to let her self feed, BUT, she is SOOOO interested in food (she'll open her mouth and follow my fork when I eat and she's sitting in my lap) so I'm thinking she'll be eating transition baby mush.
She LOVES frozen breastmilk on spoon. I do this while we eat sometimes to keep her happy, because she'll litterally throw a fit if she doesn't get some too.
Anyway, for those of you that make food, I have a few questions. If you freeze individual sized portions in the ice cube trays, what do you transfer them to for long term storage? I like ziplocs but have read that the plastic is not good for long term food storage. What about breastmilk storage bags? What makes a breastmilk storage bag any different then a ziplic, other then of course it comes pre-sterilized.
Poo, I had another question and can't remember now. I'll be back.

ISBE DELL e-Broadcast 2012-239: Special Edition Newsletter
This newsletter update will focus on comprehensive planning and curriculum and instruction for English Language Learners (ELs).
We wanted to remind you that the deadline for submitting the FY14 ELL-TBE/TPI and Title III grant application on IWAS is June 30th, 2013. Districts that submit the application after the deadline will NOT be eligible for Title III LIPLEPS or IEP funding. The application has to be submitted to ISBE, and not just "Submitted for Review" to your district superintendent.
Please note that you CANNOT successfully submit your ELL-TBE/TPI and Title III grant application unless ISBE has approved your FY14 ELL Enrollment Summary and Ceiling Calculator and loaded the correct allocation to the grant application. If you start working on your ELL-TBE/TPI and Title III application and notice that your budget appears as "$0," your ELL Ceiling has either not been approved or it was approved very recently. Please check IWAS to ensure that your Ceiling Calculator has been approved by ISBE or submitted to ISBE. If you resubmitted your Ceiling to ISBE but it has not been approved yet, it will be reviewed and your allocation will be loaded next week.
If you or your Superintendent has not resubmitted your Ceiling to ISBE it is essential to do so by Friday, June 21, to allow time for us to review it, approve it, and have your allocation loaded prior to June 30th.
Remember that districts that are not in LIPLEPS Cooperatives can work on all the sections of the ELL-TBE/TPI and Title III application even before the allocation is loaded, after which they can finalize the budget pages and submit it to ISBE by the deadline.
Please contact your assigned consultant or DELL at 312-814-3850 with questions.

A large crowd of london diners support Anne Frank Trust
By Sandy Rashty, February 11, 2013
A record 630 guests attended the London Hilton for the Anne Frank Trust's lunch to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. In his address keynote speaker Education Secretary Michael Gove said that a nation should be judged on the way it treats its immigrants. The lunch, which raised £330,000 for the trust's educational work, was hosted by Daphne Schild, whose late husband Rolf had fled Cologne as a child.

For Immediate Release
April 18, 2007
(Washington, DC) – Governor Rod Blagojevich leads
the nation in pre-k investment, according to Leadership
Matters: Governors' Pre-K Proposals Fiscal Year
2008, a report released today by Pre-K Now. The report
finds that of the record-breaking 29 state executives
proposing funding increases in FY08, Gov. Blagojevich
is leading the way by following through on his commitment
to provide high-quality pre-k to every three and four
year old. The governor has proposed an increase of $61.8
million for FY08 which, if approved, will provide pre-k
access to 12,000 additional children in Illinois.
Governor Blagojevich signed his landmark Preschool for
All initiative into law in August 2006, establishing Illinois
as the first state to make all three and four year olds
eligible for state-funded pre-k. He has also significantly
increased early childhood programming for children ages
birth to five in each of his first five years in office.
In addition to expanding to the pre-k program, his FY08
budget includes $7.6 million for programs to support at-risk
infants and toddlers, as well as an additional $10 million
in capital funding to address facilities needs.
"Gov. Blagojevich has proven yet again that pre-k
plays a vital role in his forward-thinking leadership
strategy for Illinois," said Libby Doggett, Ph.D.,
executive director of Pre-K Now. "For him, pre-k
is not simply a children's issue; the governor's
commitment to pre-k for every three and four year old
demonstrates his commitment to the future of Illinois."
In recognition of the essential role that governors play
in laying the fiscal and political groundwork for their
state agendas, Pre-K Now has analyzed gubernatorial support
– measured by mentions in state-of-the-state addresses
and budget allocations - for pre-k across the 50 states
since 2004. As a national trend, support for pre-k continues
to gain momentum; FY08 marks the fourth consecutive year
of proposed pre-k funding increases. The report also calls
attention to governors who failed to follow through on
campaign promises or otherwise missed a vital opportunity
to benefit children and invest in the future.
Additional report findings include:
FY08 proposals for new pre-k dollars total 3 times the
proposed increases of just one year ago.
"We are fortunate to work with a governor who understands
that Preschool for All is the essential first step to
improving K-12 education," said Jerry Stermer, president
of Voices for Illinois Children who along with Illinois
Action for Children and the Ounce of Prevention Fund work
together as Early Learning Illinois in support of high
quality early learning programs. "Communities across
Illinois are already seeing the benefits of better prepared
students. Gov. Blagojevich and the Illinois legislature
are to be commended for making our state a national model
for early childhood education."
To view a copy of the report, please visit: http://www.preknow.org
Pre-K Now collaborates with state advocates and policymakers
to lead a movement for high-quality pre-kindergarten for
all three and four year olds. The following funders contribute
to making this important work possible: The Pew Charitable
Trusts, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Foundation
for Child Development, RGK Foundation, CityBridge Foundation,
PNC Financial Services Group, and the Schumann Fund for
New Jersey.

We're lucky K Love is out tonight, this team could give us nightmare matchup problems if he was available.
Welcome to the Metrocard Game Thread.
PG: Luke "Skywalker" Ridnour v. Raymond "Bishop" Felton
SG: Jose Juan "Jordan" Barea v. Jason Frederick Kidd
SF: Alexey "Sexy" Shvedv. Ronnie "Mario Balotelli" Brewer
PF: Andrei "AK47" Kirilenko v. Carmelo "Melo" Anthony
C: Nikola "Pacman" Pekovic v. Tyson "Manhandler" Chandler
Questionable: Marcus Camby (foot)
Out: Iman Shumpert (knee rehab), Amar'e Stoudemire (knee rehab), Rasheed Wallace (foot), Kevin Love (eye)
Spotlight on:
"J.J. Barea helped propel the Wolves to a win off the bench with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and three 3-pointers on Thursday."
Jose Juan Barea is a 5"11 PG who can score and pass the ball at an elite level. His agility and first step is a challenge for any defender, he's been more consistent with his jumpshot, which was a main weakness of his back in college at Northeastern putting up 22PPG and 8APG in the NCAA where he made a legacy at the Boston area. Barea is currently the best player on the Puerto Rican national team, best basketball team from the Caribbean, with Arroyo declining in age, Barea has emerged into a new level and is a hard worker after many years of being denied by people because of his height and his look that doesn't give you the impression he plays basketball. One of my favorite players in the world, and the most researched player for me since he was in high school in Miami Christian in Miami. Keep an eye out for him
Go Knicks!
Enjoy these mamis.

It's sad to see guys get so injured so often. I hate to see Irving, Love, Rose hit those injures because they all have unique games.
Did you see that Irving cross over on Ellis?
Yo send me Irving back please lol.
Pekovic is too strong for Tyson.
Anthony raping Alexey Sexy.
Finally Melo showing some pressing in defense.
Our defense is so bad lately, felt down from 1st to 13th.
The offense looks better compared to the Bulls game but I want to see 48 minutes of defense and rebounding.
Signature created by AmareforPresident
Alexey Shed is just an excellent shooter and works the pick and roll well. Perfect fit for Minnesota.
Knicks gotta guard the perimeter tighter and deny Pekovic the ball.

It is normal for your nipples to feel really hard after pumping for 10-15min? I wear a slightly padded bra and can still see my nipples through it. One day I actually thought there was something in my bra (other than my boob) because it was like a rock in there.
I pump after I nurse so I don't know how it affects dd. They always go back down before next feeding. I just didn't know if I was pumping too hard/too much suction or if this is normal?

CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Curry County Treasurer Rhonda Bookout surrendered herself to law enforcement Friday afternoon after she was indicted on the charge of tampering with public records
By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
Curry County Treasurer Rhonda Bookout was indicted Friday on the charge of tampering with public records, a fourth-degree felony, according to District Attorney Matt Chandler.
Bookout surrendered to law enforcement following the indictment. She was released on a $5,000 appearance bond around 3 p.m., jail officials said.
If convicted, she could face up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine, Chandler said.
Upon the advice of her attorney and in agreement with county officials, Bookout voluntarily placed herself on leave without pay, Chandler said.
Bookout's home phone had been disconnected Friday afternoon and she could not be reached for comment. She did, however, issue a written statement through her attorney, Hal Greig.
"Based upon my high esteem for the citizens of Curry County, and my desire to remove any appearance of impropriety concerning the county treasurer's office, I have decided while this process proceeds forward that it would be best for me to take a leave of absence without pay," Bookout said in the statement.
"This way, you, the citizens of Curry County, can be assured that the treasurer's office will operate for the best needs of the county."
Bookout turned in her keys to county offices on Friday, according to County Manager Lance Pyle.
A grand jury found probable cause existed "that Curry County Treasurer Rhonda Bookout intentionally altered and falsified public records with regard to the amount of revenue actually received during the Curry County Fair," Chandler said in a press release.
A search warrant served on Bookout's office Feb. 14 stated Bookout had made entries into accounting records that a deposit had been made when it had not. The warrant also said she shifted figure amounts from a miscellaneous account to cover a shortage in the fair fund account.
The grand jury was convened to investigate approximately $11,000 in unaccounted-for fair funds, Chandler said.
The investigation into the unaccounted-for fair funds is ongoing, Chandler said.
"At this point Mrs. Bookout has not been indicted for the taking of the unaccounted-for fair funds, the state auditor is still assessing that," he said. "We believe the investigation into the unaccounted for fair funds is certainly far from over."
"The New Mexico State Police, the state auditor, (the district attorney's office and county officials) are working hand-in-hand to attempt to locate the unaccounted-for fair proceeds to determine if they're missing … That investigation is still moving forward," Chandler said.
Pyle said the state auditor is continuing to review the 2007 county fair revenue as requested. If he deems it necessary to expand his audit, the county will assist in anyway possible, he said.
Curry County Commission Chairman Albin Smith believes the system to protect taxpayer money worked correctly.
"I think there are things to keep these things from happening, but the good thing is, if there is some good, is that it was detected," he said. "That should add confidence in everyone's perception of government."
Smith said much of what has occurred regarding the unaccounted-for fair funds has been new territory for the commission and has been a learning process.
"I would really like to hope that when this is all said and done, that Rhonda will be cleared of any (wrongdoing)," Smith said.
Pyle said he is confident taxpayer money is well cared for.
"We as county officers are concerned regarding the unaccounted for funds and we're going to do everything we can to get to the bottom of the situation," he said. "The county receives audits each year, we have a financial (manager) who is a certified public accountant and I'm very confident in the individuals that we have employed at the county."
Pyle said the treasurer's office is small, with only three employees and the treasurer.
"We're like a little family. You spend more time with your coworkers than you do your family," he said. "I would expect it's hitting (Bookout's colleagues) hard."

Shadyside boys fall at Linsly
WHEELING – Linsly took advantge of eight Shadyside turnovers in the first quarter that enabled the Cadets to get their transition game rolling early during Thursday night's boys' basketball matchup at the Stifel Field House.
Scoring 12 of its first 15 points as the result of Tigers' mistakes, Linsly bolted in front 23-6 a minute into the second quarter and went on from there to post a 65-39 victory.
Anthony Wallace scored 24 points and pulled down eight rebounds to head three double-digit scorers for the Cadets, now 4-3 heading into 4:30 clash today against an 8-1 Seton LaSalle club in the Cancer Research Classic at Wheeling Jesuit University's Alma Grace McDonough Center.
Toddy Goodwin-Rowe fired in 16 points, including eight during the final eight minutes when Linsly outscored the visitors 22-10 to finally put the game out of reach. Jibri Blount contributed 11 points and matched his teammate Wallace's eight rebounds.
"Our plan was to come out man-to-man hoping to disrupt them," Linsly coach James Wallace said. "I think we did a really good job with our pressure. Then we made good decisions in transion and took advantage of the opportunities we had by not trying to force anything that wasn't there."
The Tigers (4-4) committed 20 turnovers that not only helped the Cadets get out and run the floor, those mistakes also limited the number of shots the visitors managed on the offensive end.
Shadyside had just 11 field goals in 31 attempts, hitting only 5 of 15 from the field in the second half.
"We had no energy on the offensive end," said Tigers coach Ed Andes, who pointed out that many of his team's turnovers were unforced. "Passes went right through our hands, we missed layups and wide open shots. Nobody offensively stepped up.
"Linsly's a very talented team but you have to go after them. If you don't go at them, they can torture you."
Shadyside led just twice at 2-0 when sophomore pivot netted a layup in one of few fast break opportunities and 4-3 on a short Adam Stupak jumper.
Linsly then scored the next nine points all on transition baskets after forcing Shadyside turnovers. Goodwin-Rowe scored on a breakaway, followed by Anthony Wallace's two drives to the hoop and Colton Coss's triple after still another Tigers' giveaway.
Another Wallace 3-pointer extended the lead to 15-4 and Blount concluded a 14-0 Cadets' spurt with a slick move resulting in a scoop layup off the glass.
Linsly led 19-6 entering the second quarter and baskets by Quinton Hamilton and Wallace extended the lead to 17 points.
Coach Wallace then took out four of his starters to give his bench players some playing time and the Tigers responded with seven straight points, five by Stupak with a triple out of the corner and a 12-foot jump shot. Jared Brooks then cashed two free throws, trimming the deficit to 23-13.
Linsly starters then re-entered the game and the hosts went on to lead 29-18 at halftime.
"We are going to need some of those kids down the line and it was good to introduce some of them to varsity basketball," James Wallace said.
All 13 Cadets in uniform got playing time Thursday night.
"As it turned out in the third quarter they played pretty well in holding the lead. It kept Anthony, Jibri and the other starters fresh and that allowed us to put on that run in the fourth quarter," he added.
Despite Shadyside's problems holding on to the basketball, it was still just a 12-point deficit at 47-35 with six minuts remaining. Luke Nardo, although held without a field goal, helped keep the Tigers close by hitting 8 of 10 free throws in the contest.
However, Linsly then erupted on another 14-2 spurt to put the game well out of reach. Goodwin-Rowe sparked the fourth quarter rally with a trifecta, two-point bucket and three free throws.
Dorris was Shadyside's only double-figure scorter as he tallied 12 points. Quinton Hamilton led the Tigers undernearth the glass by collecting six rebounds.

The majority of us stuffed ourselves with hot turkey or ham, fresh-out-of-the-oven rolls, mashed potatoes and all the fixin's. After dinner, we curled up by the fireplace with our loved ones around us and basked in the glow of the spirit of the season ... but not all of us.
Some of us spent the evening salting the roads so they would be safe as we returned from Grandma's house. Some of us spent the day patrolling the many streets in our county on the lookout for criminal mischief. Some of us even risked our own lives in the back-country of Wasatch County helping snowmobiliers dig out of avalanches.
Some of us are thousands of miles away from home fighting on foreign lands to help bring peace to a country in turmoil. They are taking what little rest they can in shelters and fox holes while bullets and roadside bombs threaten an end to their young lives.
We, are so fortunate to have our loved ones around us at this wonderful time of year.
At this time, we'd like to thank each and every one of our emergency services personnel: our law enforcement, road crews, fire fighters, ambulance crews, search and rescue and hospital workers, soldiers on foreign soil, plus many, many more who help keep us safe each and every day.
It's because of you, in part, that we are able to celebrate this season in health and safety.
You don't receive enough recognition and the thanks you deserve, but we think you are every bit the stuff heroes are made of.
Thank you one and all and we wish you a safe and Happy 2014.

What is Happening to San Diego Sports?
The Padres were absolutely pathetic this year. 99 losses is BAD. But the San Diego disease is moving to their NFL team, the Chargers. They are terrible this year! They are losing at a steady rate, and they will be hard-pressed to make the playoffs. Now, I really don't care about the Chargers. I don't care for football in general, but this is just so weird. We have amazing players here. I mean, Jake Peavy, Adrain Gonzalez, LT, Philip Rivers. And yet, the teams are horrible. It is very strange. Last year, 2007, the Padres were one game away from the playoffs. The Chargers came within one game of the Superbowl, I believe. I know that the Chargers fans are not happy. Neither are the Padres fans. What could it be? Is it the front offices? The coaching staffs? The players? I really have no idea, but I blame the front offices. I think the Chargers need to be rebuilding too. How 'bout they trade their best player and San Diego icon, LaDainian Tomlinson? Maybe they can get a few prospects. The two front offices should get together and coordinate to trade LT and Jake on the same day. Maybe Christmas. That would be so lovely for San Diego sports fans. We would probably boycott both teams.
There is also the matter of San Diego teams in the playoffs. The Padres have been to two World Series, lost both of them. The Chargers have been in a Super Bowl, but lost. Whenever San Diego teams even get into the playoffs, they have a hard time going deep. The Padres rarely get past the first round. The Chargers have gone deep, but not deep enough. We have problems.
Maybe it's the pacific air. Maybe it's the front offices. Maybe we aren't cheering loud enough. Whatever it is, it's unacceptable. San Diego teams are supposed to be good. Players are supposed to want to came here to be on championship-caliber teams. Maybe it's just an off year. Maybe we'll get a World Series and a Superbowl in the same year. It might take a while, but San Diego will get their championships. I just hope it's soon.

Well to make it better, the San Diego Toreros are 9-2 in football lol. Unfortunately they are like a D2 college. San Diego State is really bad! They are 2-10 and in last place in the MVC.
Maybe it's just bad luck. Last year the Braves and Falcons weren't good. The Hawks were the only good team in Atlanta, and I think they lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Sorry about Trevor Kaybee, but would Trevor only want a one year deal, or is he seeking a multi-year deal? It seems like general managers can get very crafty and manipulative with arbitration… seems like Epstein is only offering Varitek arbitration because he wants the two draft picks if Varitek is signed with another team.
I hope San Diego can turn it around, you guys really do have some star players! Maybe you'll end up getting someone good for Jake Peavy (you better, because he's amazing!). I remember watching that wild card clincher game in '07, you guys were so close, and you had a great team!
It does make you wonder if there is something in the water in San Diego! But hang in there Kaybee. We Boston sports fans have lived through a lot of years of having all our teams do poorly and now? The skies the limit! Keep the faith!
Thanks for visiting my page!
Mr. Holliday really is a nice guy! And no comment on him touching/not touching home plate… I have a nice Jake Peavy story for you if you would like to hear it!
After shoveling and snowblowing for a few hours the other day, even I want to come to California.
I must admit, it's a tough year to be a S.D. fan. But hey, it could be worse…you could live in Cincinnati (1-15 Bungals + Reds) or Detroit (0-16 Lions + Tigers)!! I have a feeling it's just a temporary downturn. Cities like San Diego don't stay down for long.
Hang in there!
BTW, when are you guys going to trade for Tony Gwynn, Jr.? I thought this would have happened by now. For whatever reason, the Brewers will not give him a chance!
Ah, San De-a-go… Drink it in… Always goes down smooth.
Sorry, just had to sneak that in there.
It is a tough year, no doubt, but you have to keep your head up. In Chicago and for years in Boston, losing was almost expected so it takes a little of the pain away. But in Philly we were always promised great seasons and it took them until THIS YEAR to actually pull through.
Believe… That's all you can do.

The first column in the chart reflects the "minimum" amount of protein you need. The World Health Organization set this level low enough to include third world countries. However, you need optimal amounts, not minimum amounts, for survival. Protein requirements for most people should fall between the Medium and Typical columns.
Studies show weight lifters might need .72g/lb. of bodyweight, highly trained cyclists might need .8g/lb., rigorous exercise training might require 1.3g/lb., and world-class weight lifters may use upwards of 1.6g/lb. A good rule of thumb for athletes is to eat protein (grams) to match your ideal bodyweight.
Consume protein foods such as:
• fish, poultry, dairy, lean meat, soy
• protein powder
Tip: Eat protein in every meal equal to the size of your fist. That's about 6 ounces or about 25 grams of protein.
Protein equals better grades
On the athletic field and in the classroom you need a competitive advantage. To think clearly in class, your brain uses glucose and a fuel called glutamine. Glutamine is a protein (amino acid). Deprive your brain of these fuels by skipping breakfast and you'll find yourself yawning, not paying attention, and hearing your instructor but not really listening. Don't ever consider going to school without having a good breakfast including a healthy amount of protein. Cereal or toast alone won't cut it!
Since most of us like to sleep in until the last possible moment, a protein drink makes an excellent choice for a quick, nutritious breakfast. Not only will you give yourself a chance to do your best academically in school, but you'll immediately halt the muscle breakdown that begins to naturally occur in the early morning hours while sleeping.
If you wait to eat protein at lunch, your body will have broken down some of the muscle gains made during the previous day in order to fuel your brain and other parts of your body. Things like red blood cells and your immunity take priority over big biceps. By eating protein first thing in the morning, you'll be able to add to your muscle gains from the day before. A side benefit to eating enough protein is your hair and nails will grow thicker and healthier too.Adjust your carb intake to your activity level
Try to eat lean carbs such as:
• yams
• brown rice
• legumes, beans
• vegetables – broccoli, asparagus, corn, spinach
• fruit (grapefruit, blueberries, oranges)
Avoid junk-food and high-glycemic carbs such as:
• sugar, donuts, pastries
• honey, jelly, jam
• candy bars
• soft drinks, punch
The only exception to eating fat is your after-workout meal. It should be low-fat so your body can digest this meal quickly (fat slows digestion).
Eat the most nutritious, low-fat carbohydrate and protein sources you can find. All of the food recommendations below contain some fat.
Consume your fat from lean proteins, nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables such as:
--poultry, eggs, dairy (cottage cheese, yogurt, milk), lean red meat, fish, protein powders
--almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds
--fruit and vegetables (e.g., leafy greens) contain essential fatty acids (e.g., alpha-linolenic acid)
--real butter, olive oil and coconut oil
Consider supplementing your diet with healthy omega fatty acids
Use olive oil or coconut oil in recipes and for cooking and sautéing. You can also supplement your diet with flaxseed oil and fish oil, both rich in EPA and DHA which are vital for skin, hormone and brain health.
Avoid bad fats such as:
--french fries, fried foods
--margarine, hydrogenated oils (trans fat)
--non-dairy creamers
Using this approach, you'll consume a reasonable amount of fat and won't need to track your fat intake.
Total calories you need
Eat about 15-20 calories per pound of body weight. Keep in mind that the 15 calories per pound rule is only a starting point.Try it for 2 weeks before decreasing or increasing your total calorie intake according to how you look in the mirror.
Total daily nutrient intake
Here's a summary of the total nutrients you'll need each day. Remember, this is just a guide and your own individual needs may vary.
Ideal meal timing & drink mixtures for athletes
The latest research clearly shows that what you eat and when you eat, makes a tremendous difference in the speed and quality of the results you get from your workouts. Use this information to shorten the time it takes you to achieve your physique goals and bust through plateaus.
Pre-workout meal (1-2 hours before workouts)
Research shows that one to two hours before your workout, you should eat a light meal, drink a meal replacement powder (MRP) or eat a large protein bar.
Pre-workout drink (immediately before workouts)
The latest research data indicates that a small pre-workout meal supplement containing at least 10g of protein or about 6g of essential amino acids will minimize muscle protein breakdown during intense physical exercise. Whey protein is the preferred choice since it digests fast. Along with protein, consume at least 30-40g of high glycemic carbohydrates such as glucose, maltodextrin or glucose polymers. This helps spare glycogen for improved performance and results. This 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 ratio of carb:protein is found in most weight gainer protein powder formulas. You can also use a high carb or endurance powder and add a little protein.
When you exercise, whether it is jogging or lifting weights, your body produces a stress hormone called cortisol. Cortisol is actually your muscle's enemy since it tears muscle down and converts it into fuel. The opposite is true for insulin which helps rebuild muscle and suppresses the release of cortisol. Drinking a carb-filled drink therefore stimulates insulin and blunts cortisol. The result? More muscle gains! Not surprisingly, in one study cortisol levels dropped by almost 80% when athletes were given a 6% carbohydrate solution during exercise when compared to those receiving water. Another study showed that a high-glycemic, carb/protein drink was 38% more effective than a conventional protein drink in stimulating protein synthesis. Misunderstanding how these hormones work is why so many people hit plateaus in the gym despite their heavy workouts.Mid-workout drink
Post-workout drink (0-45 minutes after workouts)
This is a critical time for proper recovery. You need to rush nutrients into your body preferably within 30 minutes of your workout. (See Figure 2) A delay of an hour or two can make a significant difference in your recovery, muscle protein synthesis and glycogen replenishment.
By taking a carb/protein drink immediately after your workout, you will double your amino acid uptake and increase subsequent protein synthesis by a whopping 25% when compared to waiting a few hours! Plus, you'll perform better during your next training session because your muscle glycogen will be replenished more completely.
Another recent study revealed that those who supplemented immediately post workout actually lost more body fat than those who delayed eating after their workout. (See Figure 3.)
The post-workout formula should contain at least 15g of whey protein (which is fast-digesting) and about 45g of high-glycemic carbohydrates. This is about a 3 to 1 ratio of carb:protein in a liquid form for fast absorption. Don't mix this formula in milk since it will slow down digestion. Mix in water or juice.
Try packing a shaker bottle in your gym bag containing the dry protein powder formula described previously. As soon as you're done working out or practice ends, add water at the drinking fountain, shake it up and drink it on the way home. Or eat a high-carb protein bar. Avoid fat in this meal (under 6g is fine).Post-workout meal (2-3 hours after workouts)
Meal timing on non-training days.
On non-training days, eat 5-6 small meals a day that are high in quality protein.
Eating every 2-3 hours will keep your metabolism up and your hunger down while fueling your muscles with adequate protein and nutrients.
Eat starchier carbs earlier in the day and stick with salads and vegetables in the afternoon and evening.
Use meal replacement powders for 2 to 3 of the meals if necessary.
Drink a pre-bedtime snack of casein and whey protein or have some cottage cheese which contains casein protein. This slower digesting form of protein will help delay the muscle breakdown that naturally occurs at night.
And drink plenty of water, about a gallon a day.
Supplements & meal alternatives.
Taking a multi-vitamin and mineral formula at this stage of your life may be more important than when you're an adult. You're still growing and you need to supply your body with all the elements it needs for you to reach your genetic potential.
A multi-vitamin can help make up for deficiencies in your diet, as well as help with skin problems like acne. Zinc and vitamin B-6 are needed to build muscle. Calcium and magnesium are needed to build a strong skeletal frame to compete in sports. B-vitamins are required for energy. Others help you make hormones that mature you into an adult.
There was a time when doctors told us we didn't need vitamins. That's all changed. In June of 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association reversed its long-standing position and now recommends taking a daily multi-vitamin and mineral combination.Essential fats from flaxseed or fish.
Flaxseed oil is from plants and tastes rather bland. Therefore, you can mix a tablespoon into a protein shake every day or drizzle on your salad.
Fish oil is rich in two fats called EPA and DHA. Not only do these fats help prevent heart disease, they can improve brain development and attention in the classroom. That's one reason why companies are adding DHA to infant formulas. Studies have shown that some children with attention issues have low levels of these essential fats in their system. Since fish oil tastes bad, most people take the softgel form of fish oil.
These good fats are also needed by your body to build muscle, make hormones, improve mood, improve healing, cushion joints, enhance good cholesterol and other critical functions in the body.Protein and endurance shakes.
Whey protein or high protein powders are generally high in protein (25g), low in carbs (4g), low in fat (3g), and provide about 140 calories. They can be made with either whey, milk, egg, soy or a combination of proteins. Use them alone as a between meal snack or as a meal by adding carbs (mix with a banana).
Meal replacement powders (MRPs) are basically a complete meal in powder form – just add water, milk or juice.
Weight gainers are generally about 25% protein and 75% carbs. They're less expensive than the above powders because carbs don't cost as much as protein. A typical serving might contain protein (25g), carbs (75g), fat (5g), in about 400 calories. These products are very cost effective at providing large amounts of calories for those who are too skinny and need extra calories to put on some weight. Gainers made with fast-digesting whey protein also make great after-workout drinks because they provide the protein-to-carb ratios that studies have shown help you to recover and build muscle faster.
High-carb endurance powders are integral if you run track, cross-country, swim, play soccer or compete in any other endurance-type sport. These powders can help you compete at a higher level. They consist of either all-carbs (good for during competition) or are about 75% carbs (good before and after competition).
In a study done at the University of Texas, endurance cyclist rode a grueling 2 hours on stationary bikes, depleting their muscle-glycogen stores. Immediately following exercise and again 2 hours later, the riders drank 12 ounces of a carb-protein beverage (53g of carbs and 14g of protein) or a carb sports drink (20g carbs, no protein). Two hours after the exercise session, researchers found the carb-protein beverage resulted in a 128% greater restocking of glycogen (energy stores) compared with the carb-only sports drink. The combined dose of carbs and protein helps boost insulin levels, which in turn acts indirectly to stimulate glycogen rebuilding. Also, insulin aids the recovery and repair of proteins that may have been damaged during exercise.Protein bars are a convenient way to get protein. They are great between meals or even as a meal replacement when you're pressed for time.
Ready-To-Drink (RTDs) are premixed protein drinks. Although RTDs are more expensive than buying powders, they are very convenient. They are high in protein (40g), medium in carbs (24g), low in fat (4g), provide about 280 calories and about 50% of the RDI of vitamins and minerals. A blend of fast-digesting (whey) and slow-digesting (casein) protein is typically used which will help you feel full longer. Keep them in your locker and use immediately after football, basketball, soccer or any other sports practice. Right after practice is when most teenage athletes blow it. They miss the critical nutrient replenishment window waiting for the carpool, walking home or waiting to eat until dinner. Don't miss this opportunity!Never take steroids.

Iowa Constitution and Race
The Constitution the Delegates would write would be very similar to other state constitutions written at the time, but there were some ideas that made it unique.
(banging of a mallet)
Delegation come to order. We will now hear from a select Committee on Admission of people of color as the same footing as white citizens. You may proceed Sir.
Mr. Chairman and fellow Delegates, although we do not favor the chaining of the black man with the shackles of slavery, we could never consent to open the doors of our beautiful state and invite him to settle our lands. The policy, the policy of the other states would drive the whole black population of the Union upon us. The people of Iowa do not want negros swarming among them…
Most Iowans did not believe in slavery. Many had come to Iowa Territory to escape the slave policies of their home states, but allowing the black man equal rights was a different matter. In the end, blacks were allowed to come to the state but not encouraged.

PITTSBURGH, PA (August 2, 2007) – Airport Executives from throughout northeast United States will be in Pittsburgh from August 4 through August 8 for the 49th Annual Northeast Chapter of the Association of American Airport Executives (AAAE) Conference.
More than 300 industry executives, suppliers and special guests will gather at the Sheraton Station Square for the five-day conference. Under the theme of "Growing Opportunities" participants will examine such topics as airport technologies, safety and security, FAA Compliance, and AAAE's new accreditation program.
"Hosting this conference is tremendously important to the airport," Allegheny County Airport Authority Executive Director Kent G. George said. "The leading executives and experts of the northeast region will be here to discuss the most important industry issues. We are excited to be at the forefront of those discussions."
The conference will feature numerous lectures from industry leaders as well as comments from Bradley D. Penrod, ACAA Chief Operating Officer and current NEC AAAE President, and lectures from other Airport Authority professionals.
"As airport management and aviation continues to change, there are opportunities and new goals for airport professionals to meet in safety, security and operations," Penrod said. "Many of this meeting's topics will explore issues that will shape advancements in the airport industry."
Penrod will be the moderator for "Washington Update" and Nino Sapone, ACAA Director of Airfield Operations, will present "Common Use Systems – The Benefits for Your Airport," which will take a look at Pittsburgh International Airport's very successful Flight Desk, a self-serve boarding pass kiosk program. Eric Ruprecht, ACAA Director of Business Administration, will be a panelist for "Minimum Standards and FAA Compliance: The Inspection You Don't Want to Have."
The guest speaker for the Corporate Appreciation Award Luncheon on Tuesday, August 7, will be author Tom Murphy, who wrote the 2006 book "Reclaiming The Sky: 9/11 and the Untold Story of the Men and Women Who Kept America Flying." Murphy, who has been an aviation industry trainer for 20 years, is a leader in customer service training.
The Northeast Chapter, American Association of Airport Executives, is the first regional chapter of the AAAE. It was formed to assist in the further development of the AAAE and to foster a better understanding of airport related problems within the geographical confines of the chapter.
