A South Side man who was killed by Columbus police early yesterday had shot and wounded his girlfriend three hours earlier and might have wanted officers to shoot him, police and a family spokesman say.
Kenneth R. Herring, 50, was shot repeatedly when police confronted him just after midnight on the porch of a home at 719 S. 17th St.
Police did not release details of the confrontation but said five officers fired their weapons while trying to take Herring into custody. He died at the scene at 12:14 a.m.
Division spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner said a tip had led police to the house, where Herring apparently knew at least one person. Four people inside and the officers were not hurt.
Police found a gun at the scene, but Weiner would not say where. It was the 21st shooting by division police this year and the seventh fatal one.
Police had been searching for Herring on Wednesday night in connection with an earlier shooting at 1196 Lockbourne Rd.
Officers were called to that address at 9 p.m. by the mother of Richell Dixon.
"My daughter's been shot twice by her boyfriend," she said in her call to 911. "Please hurry." She identified Herring as the shooter and said he was running south on Lockbourne toward Marion Road.
Dixon, 44, was taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in critical condition. Police said yesterday that her condition has stabilized and she is expected to survive.
Gary Madison, Dixon's brother, said he and Dixon live in the Lockbourne Road house with their mother. He wasn't home when his sister was shot, but his children were.
About an hour before police found Herring, a frantic South Side woman called 911 to report that Herring, an ex-boyfriend, had called her from his mother's Reeb Avenue home — where Herring sometimes lived — and suggested they meet up. The woman already had heard about Dixon's shooting and said she was terrified that Herring was coming for her next.
Herring was paroled from prison in April after serving five years for aggravated robbery.
The Rev. Frederick LaMarr, pastor of Family Missionary Baptist Church, has known Herring's family for years; Herring's mother was LaMarr's Sunday-school teacher.
"He was frustrated with coming out of prison, trying to find jobs, housing," he said. "All this frustration compounded."
Herring's family was praying for Dixon's recovery and for the officers, LaMarr said.
"They did the best that they could with someone coming out of the house with a gun," he said. "I think he just had the mindset, 'I'm not going back.'"

Milla Jovovich Is Pregnant, Delays Next Installment Of 'Resident Evil'
Model/actress Milla Jovovich and her filmmaker husband Paul W.S. Anderson are expecting their second child. The star revealed the news on Facebook on Monday, explaining that the next installment of "Resident Evil" will be put on hold until after she gives birth.
She wrote: "This was originally going to be a post to tell you how excited I am about flying to Cape Town, South Africa to begin working on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. But... My husband Paul and I just discovered that we are expecting another baby!!!
"So after a lot of discussion, we thought it would be in everyon's best interest to wait till the baby is born before we set out to try and tackle an RE movie. Between the stunt work and what will become my ever-expanding belly, we didn't think pregnancy and zombie killing are the best combo! Lol! I imagine the only thing I'll be killing in the near future is an endless supply of cupcakes. Yikes..."
She added, "In all seriousness though, we want to make the best movie possible and that would be extremely difficult, to say the least, in my present condition. I would like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has been working so hard on the movie in South Africa already and we are so looking forward to working with you all next summer. And when we arrive, it will hopefully be with the newest member of our little family! YAY!"
The couple have a seven-year-old daughter named Ever Gabo. The pair wed in 2009, and Jovovich, 38, has been open about wanting to expand her family.

Sega confirmed the coming of Yakuza 5 at the tail end of the summer, but that's pretty much all we got at the time. All that changes today with some new revelations from Famitsu (via Andriasang), which reports that the upcoming game -- still PlayStation 3 only -- will be visiting five different cities in Japan.
Sapporo, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka will all be in play when the TBA game eventually arrives. The story picks up after the events of Yakuza 4, which came to Japan in March 2010 and then the U.S. in March 2011. Series regular Kazuma Kiryu will be the star, though it's not clear if other characters will be playable as well. Beyond that, fans can expect to see shorter load times and "seamless conversations and battles."
There's no release plan for the game just yet, as development is still in an early phase.

An alleged stalker's six-day "vacation" at Jennifer Lopez's mansion on Long Island, N.Y., while she was away has landed him in jail.
John Dubis, 49, was arrested on Aug. 8 after an employee spotted him, sources told the New York Post yesterday.
The man had gone unnoticed by the singer's security staff as he lived in the pool house and even parked his car outside the mansion in the Hamptons.
Dubis, who faces charges of burglary and stalking, told police he is the singer's ex-husband and the father of her children.
Lopez reportedly has a protection order against him.

Executive Recruit
- 146 Voters
- 2 years, 1 month ago
A successful female executive stood before the Pearly Gates, facing St. Peter himself. "Strange," mused St. Peter, "we've never had an executive make it this far before. I'm not sure what to do with you. While I think it over, I'll let you experience a day here and a day in Hell."
So the female exec spent an entire day lounging on clouds, playing the harp, having intelligent civilized discussions with great philosophers. Her 24 hours passed quickly and she was then transported to Hell where the Devil took her to a beautiful country club where she found many of her old friends, dressed to the nines, drinking, joking, laughing, having a great time. They talked old times, played golf, had steak and lobster, drank Champagne and danced till dawn. Before she knew it, her 24 hours was up and she was back at the Pearly Gates.
St. Peter said, "I've considered your placement, and decided I'll just let you choose where you wish to spend eternity."
She thought only briefly before she replied. "Well, Heaven was nice, but, no offense, I had a great time in Hell." And back down she went. But this time she found herself in a desolate wasteland covered with garbage. Her friends were still there, but now they were dressed in rags, picking up garbage and carrying it from one pile to another.
"Wait a minute," stammered the woman to the Devil, "I don't understand. Yesterday when I was here, there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and drank Champagne and we danced the night away, having a wonderful time. Now everyone's slaving away shoveling garbage."
The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you. Today, you're staff!"

Section II. D. Student Financial Assistance
The 2004 budget reflects President Bush's commitment to equal access to a quality postsecondary education for all Americans. The request would increase funding for the Pell Grant program, the foundation of Federal need-based student financial assistance, by nearly $1.9 billion, and more than triple loan forgiveness benefits for highly qualified math, science, and special education teachers in schools serving low-income populations.
Following are the highlights of the Administration's 2004 budget:
A $1.9 billion increase for the Pell Grant program, for an all-time high total of $12.7 billion, to retire a shortfall related to the 2002-2003 award year while maintaining a $4,000 maximum award for over 4.8 million students.
The request assumes that the significant surge in the Pell Grant applicant growth rate over the past few years will begin to level off in 2003-04 and return to levels consistently seen prior to 2001-02. However, if applicant growth rates remain at unusually high levels, projected Pell Grant program costs would significantly increase above the budget estimates.
The budget assumes Internal Revenue Service matching of student aid application income data with applicant tax data would reduce Pell Grant overawards and save an estimated $638 million in 2003 and 2004. These savings would significantly reduce existing funding shortfalls in the Pell Grant program.
Student financial aid available would expand to $62.3 billion, excluding the consolidation of existing student loans, an increase of $3.1 billion or 5 percent over the level supported in the 2003 President's Budget. The number of recipients of grant, loan, and work-study assistance would grow by 386,000 to 9.2 million students and parents.
Loan forgiveness for highly qualified math, science, and special education teachers serving low-income communities would be expanded from $5,000 to a maximum of $17,500. Schools in these communities often are forced to hire uncertified teachers or assign teachers who are teaching "out-of-field." This proposal would help these schools recruit and retain highly qualified math, science, and special education teachers.
To improve accountability and ensure the efficient, cost-effective delivery of over $80 billion in Federal student aid, the Administration is proposing to consolidate nearly $950 million in administrative funding, currently split among 3 separate accounts, into a new discretionary Student Aid Administration account. Most of these funds support payments to private-sector contractors or guaranty agencies that help administer the student loan programs.
Student Aid Summary Tables
Number of Postsecondary Students Aided by Department Programs
Tax Benefits for Postsecondary Students and Their Families
In addition to Department of Education grant, loan, and work-study programs, significant support for postsecondary students and their families is available through tax credits and deductions for higher education expenses, including tuition and fees. For example, in 2004 students and families will save an estimated $2.9 billion under the HOPE tax credit, which allows a credit of up to $1,500 for tuition and fees during the first 2 years of postsecondary education; $3.0 billion under the Lifetime Learning tax credit, which allows a credit of up to $2,000 for undergraduate and graduate tuition and fees; $2.9 billion under a new above-the-line deduction of up to $4,000 annually in higher education expenses; and $660 million in above-the-line deductions for interest paid on postsecondary student loans.
Pell Grants
The Pell Grant program helps ensure financial access to postsecondary education by providing grant aid to low- and middle-income undergraduate students. The program is the most need-focused of the Department's student aid programs, with individual awards varying according to the financial circumstances of students and their families.
The Administration requests $12.7 billion to support Pell Grants in 2004. In recent years, the number of Pell Grant applicants and recipients has grown much faster than historical trends would predict (as has college enrollment overall). Specifically, from 2000 to 2002, the number of Pell recipients increased by nearly 25 percent, compared with 5 percent growth from 1997 to 1999. After never growing by more than 2.6 percent for any award year from 1995-96 to 2000-01, the number of valid Pell Grant applicants grew by 8.6 percent in 2001-02 and a projected 10.2 percent in 2002-03 (see table). These increases primarily result from an influx of independent students (generally, independent students are older and do not depend on parents or guardians to pay for college).
As a result of this unexpected growth, as well as a $700 increase in the maximum grant from 2000 to 2002, Pell Grant appropriations for the past few years have been insufficient to fully cover annual program costs. Funding for 2004 is requested to retire the shortfall related to the 2002-2003 award year while maintaining a $4,000 maximum award for the growing numbers of students eligible for Pell Grants for undergraduate education and job training. (This request assumes a small portion of 2004-2005 program costs would be funded from the 2005 appropriation.)
The Budget assumes that the significant surge in the applicant growth rate that began with the 2001-02 award year will begin to level off in 2003-04 and return to levels consistently seen prior to 2001-02. It is important to note, however, that if applicant growth rates continue at their unusually high levels, projected Pell Grant program costs would significantly increase above the budget estimates. As shown in the following table, if applicant growth stayed at 10 percent over award years 2003-04 and 2004-05, programs cost would increase by more than $1.4 billion.
Campus-Based Programs
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) program provides grant assistance of up to $4,000 per academic year to undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need. The $725 million request would leverage $193 million in institutional matching funds to make available a total of approximately $918 million in grants to an estimated 1.2 million recipients.
SEOG funds are allocated to institutions according to a statutory formula. The program also requires a 25 percent institutional match. Awards are determined at the discretion of institutional financial aid administrators, although schools are required to give priority to Pell Grant recipients and students with the lowest expected family contributions.
The Work-Study program provides grants to participating institutions to pay up to 75 percent of the wages of needy undergraduate and graduate students working part-time to help pay their college costs. The school or other eligible employer provides the remaining 25 percent of the student's wages. Funds are allocated to institutions according to a statutory formula, and individual award amounts to students are determined at the discretion of institutional financial aid administrators. At the request level, over 1 million students would receive more than $1 billion in award year 2004-05.
The program encourages institutions to use Work-Study funds to promote community service activities. Institutions must use at least 7 percent of their Work-Study allocations to support students working in community service jobs, and such activities must include at least one reading tutor or family literacy project. In addition, the Department waives the 25 percent employer- matching requirement for students who work as reading or math tutors.
Perkins Loans(B.A. in millions)
The Perkins Loan program provides long-term, low-interest loans to undergraduate and graduate students with demonstrated financial need at 2,000 institutions. Total assets of over $7 billion represent nearly 40 years of Federal capital contributions, institutional matching funds, repayments on previous loans, and reimbursements for cancellations.
The request includes no funding for new Perkins Loan Federal Capital Contributions. These funds are no longer necessary, as repayments of existing Perkins Loans into Federal revolving funds held at institutions will continue to support more than $1 billion in new Perkins Loans each year. In addition, given the existence of the Federal Family Education Loan and Ford Direct Student Loan programs, as well as the current interest rate environment, additional Federal capital contributions are not needed to assure the availability of affordable loan aid.
Perkins Loan borrowers pay no interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods, and are charged 5 percent interest during the principal repayment period. Annual borrowing limits are $4,000 for undergraduate students and $6,000 for graduate and professional students.
Perkins Loan Cancellations reimburse institutional revolving funds for borrowers whose loan repayments are canceled in exchange for undertaking certain public service employment, such as teaching in Head Start programs, full-time law enforcement, or nursing. Cancellations have increased significantly in recent years due to expansions of eligibility by the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 and 1998.
Federal Family Education Loans and Direct Loans($ in millions)
New loan volume ($ in millions)
Number of loans (in thousands)
The Department of Education operates two major student loan programs: the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) program. These two programs meet an important Department goal by helping ensure student access to and completion of high-quality postsecondary education. Competition between the two programs and among FFEL lenders has led to a greater emphasis on borrower satisfaction and resulted in better customer service to students and institutions.
The FFEL program makes loan capital available to students and their families through some 3,500 private lenders. There are 36 active State and private nonprofit guaranty agencies which administer the Federal guarantee protecting FFEL lenders against losses related to borrower default. These agencies also collect on defaulted loans and provide other services to lenders. The FFEL program accounts for about 70 percent of student loan volume.
The Direct Loan program was created by the Student Loan Reform Act of 1993. Under this program, the Federal Government uses Treasury funds to provide loan capital directly to schools, which then disburse loan funds to students. The Direct Loan program began operation in academic year 1994-95 and now accounts for about 30 percent of new student loan volume.
Basic Loan Program Components
Both FFEL and Direct Loans feature four types of loans with similar fees and maximum borrowing amounts:
Stafford Loans are subsidized, low-interest loans based on financial need. The Federal Government pays the interest while the student is in school and during certain grace and deferment periods. The interest rate varies annually and is capped at 8.25 percent. For July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003, the rate for borrowers in repayment has been set at 4.06 percent.
Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are offered at the same low rates as subsidized Stafford Loans, but the Federal Government does not pay interest for the student during in-school, grace, and deferment periods.
PLUS Loans are available to parents of dependent undergraduate students at slightly higher rates than Stafford or Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, and the Federal Government does not pay interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. The interest rate varies annually and is capped at 9 percent. The 2002-2003 rate is 4.86 percent.
Consolidation Loans allow borrowers with multiple student loans who meet certain criteria to combine their obligations and extend their repayment schedules. The rate for both FFEL and Direct Consolidation Loans is based on the weighted average of loans consolidated rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of a percent.
In recent years, a combination of historically low interest rates and aggressive marketing have resulted in dramatic increases in Consolidation loan volume, which grew from $12 billion in fiscal year 2000 to $32 billion in fiscal year 2002. Higher interest rates and a diminished pool of potential consolidators in future years are expected to reduce Consolidation loan volume to $19 billion in 2004.
The 2004 Request
For 2004, the Administration is proposing to expand loan forgiveness for mathematics, science, and special education teachers. Currently, teachers in qualified low-income schools who were new borrowers as of October 1998 and teach for five consecutive years are eligible for up to $5,000 in loan forgiveness. The Administration proposes to substantially increase the amount of forgiveness up to $17,500 for math, science, or special education teachers who meet the definition of highly qualified included in the No Child Left Behind Act and serve in high-need schools. This proposal is estimated to cost $52 million in additional subsidy for new loans made in fiscal year 2004, plus $147 million for existing loans. Over the next 10 years, the policy will cost an estimated $696 million.
Student Aid Program Management
The Administration proposes to centralize its request for $947.0 million to administer the Federal student aid programs within a unified new discretionary Student Aid Administration account. The current student aid administration budget structuresplit among multiple mandatory, discretionary, and subsidy accountshinders the increased accountability for reducing costs and improving financial controls that are at the foundation of the Secretary's Blueprint for Management Excellence.
The 2004 request represents a $15.0 million, or 1.6 percent, increase over the amount supporting student aid administrative activities in 2003. The largest portions of this increase are $6.8 million for growth in central support costs such as enhanced security and the relocation of a number of regional offices; $4 million to support increases in personnel compensation associated with the 2.0 percent cost-of-living adjustment scheduled for January 2004; and $3.0 million for improvements to the Department's financial management system.
Primary responsibility for administering the student aid programs lies with the Office of Postsecondary Education and the performance-based Federal Student Aid (FSA). FSA was created by Congress in 1998 with a mandate to modernize student aid delivery and management systems, improve service to students and other student aid program participants, reduce the cost of student aid administration, and improve accountability and program integrity. Most student aid administrative funding supports payments to guaranty agencies and to private contractors that service Direct Loans, process student loan applications, and disburse and account for student aid awards to students, parents, and schools.
The Administration is in the process of developing an activity-based budget formulation process for the unified Student Aid Administration account. Such a process would allocate the Department's student aid management expenses to specific business processes to more accurately determine the cost of individual activities or programs, budget administrative funds to each business process, set cost reduction targets, and easily compare actual performance to budget targets.

Here's a news flash: The Jewish Week does not edit out images of women in its print edition or on its website. Not even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
We state this, of course, because of this week's furor over Der Tzeitung, the Brooklyn-based chasidic newspaper that crudely removed the images of Clinton and another female staffer from the now-iconic photo of White House officials anxiously monitoring the successful raid on Osama bin Laden's lair.
Der Tzeitung, reflecting an extreme interpretation of Orthodox Judaism, does not publish images of women, and apparently an overzealous editor failed to see the White House notice prohibiting tampering with the pictures it supplies.
All that was reported in this newspaper's "Jewish Techs" blog by Rabbi Jason Miller, who wrote that "this act of censorship is actually a violation of the Jewish legal principle of g'neivat da'at (deceit)." But within hours, like a 21st-century version of the old children's game, Telephone, where whispered messages get distorted as they pass from child to child, the photo-tampering story mutated and The Jewish Week found itself accused of that very act that it, through Miller, was reporting on.
"How dare you..." was the opening line of numerous angry calls, e-mails and comments we received, and never mind that we didn't.
This is an almost textbook example of how misinformation, propelled by explosive anger and disseminated by activists with big e-mail lists and little use for accuracy, spreads along global electronic byways. And, like so much of what happens on the Internet, many of the comments and e-mails were tinged with outright bigotry.
Yes, we heard from Jews who were disturbed by how their religion was being misrepresented by a miniscule group with extreme views. But many of the comments had a satisfied, "well, there go those wacky Jews again" quality to them — as if this story about a group at the Jewish margins "proved" Orthodox Judaism, and maybe all of religious Judaism, is some kind of bizarre misogynistic sect.
Don't get us wrong: we love the web. There's a good chance you are reading this on The Jewish Week website. The Internet is a wonderful resource that has transformed the news business in many positive ways. But it is also a conduit for misinformation that, once out there, becomes part of the background noise of modern life, difficult to correct, impossible to erase. Speed and accuracy rarely go together in gathering information.
So one more time for the record: no, we did not PhotoShop Hillary Clinton's face out of the White House picture. Really.

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
I'm a non jewish man and i most admit to the 'secular jews' that i have much more respect for what you call the 'extreme' jews, they stand up for the their values/believes while people like you in the jewish week stand for nothing.
Serves you right. You should've contacted that Brooklyn paper before ripping into them, & then deciding & weighing if their Clinton mistake - for which they apologized & pointed out that they did mention her presence in that room in their news write-up - should be reported so negatively, seeing how much hate & antisemitism you helped ignite.
The readership of that small paper does not interact with the "outside" world as we, the readers of your paper, do & will not suffer as much as we will suffer. Antisemites look for the smallest excuse to lash out at the first Jews they come in contact with.
Next time, don't rush for a "scoop" that can wind up hurting your readership.

Pat Maust
Pat Maust, Youth Services coordinator at Way Public Library, retired on Friday.
Known to children as "Miss Pat," she has dedicated her professional life to instilling a love of reading and learning in children.
Her greatest satisfaction, she said, comes from matching a child with that one special book which will ignite his or her interest in reading for a lifetime.
"There's a perfect match for each child," Ms. Maust said, "and finding it and seeing the child's reaction to it are a joy to behold."
During her tenure at the library, she has expanded children's programming by developing "after hours" family events to coincide with the release of new books in the Harry Potter series and the highly-anticipated annual Snow Ball Family Fun Night. She is also responsible for the Fun Library After School Happenings and the Home School program geared toward connecting the home schooling community with library resources.
Of all of her contributions to the library, Ms. Maust said, she is most pleased that she was able to initiate "Baby Time," a play group and story session for parents and their children aged 6-11 months.
" 'Miss Pat' has been a joy to work with these past several years," Way Library director Janel Haas said.
" 'Miss Pat' took a great children's program to the next level with her programming ideas and her inclusion of the home schooling program. She will definitely be missed."
Ms. Maust came to Way Library in 2005, after earning her Master of Library Science degree from Kent State University, and oversees the children's, juvenile, and young adult departments.
She began her career as a librarian in a middle school in Austintown, Ohio, followed by stints in public libraries in Grand Ledge, Mich., and Youngstown.

The environmental and cleantech community in Washington State is pulling out all the stops to get Jay Inslee elected as Governor, calling it a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get a truly green candidate into high office.
Backed by the Sierra Club and other highly respected groups, Inslee is the first gubernatorial candidate endorsed by the national League of Conservation Voters in 42 years.
He's in a tight race with Attorney General Republican Rob McKenna, who in this green state, is boasting environmental credentials from the need to address climate change to supporting the state's Growth Management Act.
But the green community says McKenna is backed by the oil and gas industry other polluters that want weak environmental protection, and supports weaking the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard. The website, Truth Squad Washington, draws distinctions between the two candidates.
He's not a mouth-breathing EPA-hater in the mold of congressional Republicans, says Grist, which points out McKenna supports EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases and defended tougher state-level auto-emissions standards, which have since been adopted by the Obama administration.
A Representative in Congress since 1999, there isn't any doubt about Inslee's green credentials. He's been a strong advocate for climate legislation, environmental protection, federal support for cleantech, and all the issues associated with transitioning to a green economy. He co-founded the Sustainable Energy Caucus in the House.
He's called for an Apollo mission to reduce greenhouse gases, connecting the dots to how it would not only address climate change but ignite a clean economy. He even wrote a book on the subject in 2007, Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy.
Inslee "is one of the two or three members of Congress from any state who is most informed and most accomplished in developing specific policies to drive the clean economy in really every relevant sector," Ross Macfarlane, of Seattle-based Climate Solutions told The News Tribune.
While Inslee strongly supports government support to get the nascent clean energy and cleantech industries mainstreamed, McKenna, like his Republican peers, calls that "picking winners and losers."
Inslee's response is: "My opponent does not get it when it comes to clean energy. We haven't picked any of these businesses. We're picking innovation in general."
In a blog for Grist, Inslee writes:
On April 21, Congress stepped back in geologic time when the House of Representatives passed an energy policy of the dinosaurs, by the dinosaurs, and for the dinosaurs. This energy bill is truly a "Jurassic" piece of legislation that relies on a limited energy source derived from creatures and plants that died millions of years ago. In fact, 93 percent of the $8 billion in tax incentives in the bill go to oil, gas, and other traditional energy industries.
Instead of this petroleum-soaked energy policy, some of my colleagues and I have been promoting a new vision for our energy future, one that would avoid drilling in our pristine areas, while creating jobs, enhancing our national security, and protecting the environment. This clean-energy vision, called the New Apollo Energy Act, is based on optimism rather than self-doubt, on new technologies rather than archaic methods, and on faith in Americans' innovative talent rather than capitulation to narrow special interests.

Hi, Anthony, your comment People need to learn how to hdnale their bikes better on 45th, period. I don't know why we excuse bad riding behavior but at the same time lament and blame drivers for their atrocious skills, brought up alot for me today.Just this week in downtown, a cyclist on a sidewalk going against my green light came within 6 inches of getting hit by my van. He was going fast against the light, on a sidewalk, with earbuds in, not looking! I could not sleep a couple of nights this week. That same morning I witnessed a cyclist going 8 mph down Marion Street, no helmut, head down, studying a hand held device, only one hand on the hdnale bars. Let's hope we all survive this aggressive, I'm-entitled-because-I'm-young-and-strong, type of riding behavior. I ride my bike every day of the year. Conservatively, with knowledge and respect for the right-of-way and thinking hard about what drivers are experiencing inside their 2-ton projectiles. Is the light in their eyes? Is the pavement newly wet? Can they see me? Are they talking on their cell or distracted in other ways? As a cyclist, a motorist, and a pedestrian, I also have to deal with cyclists who are unsure, less strong, or unpredictable. But the close calls have come from strong, aggressive riders who blow off stop signs and assume I'll get out of their way. It is rampant.It has been a tough week for me. Last Sunday, a tandem came within inches of hitting an 85-year-old who was within arms-length (at Centennial Park.) She was slowly crossing the cycle track to get to a vehicle. Why did you not see her 30 yards off, tandem captain? God help an old person if they fall. I'm *so* glad not to have to drive today it's grueling to have to protect the lives of aggressive, inattentive cyclists. Please, cycling community. Respect all modes of transport and give a nod to right of way!

One of the places that could rllaey benefit from a trivial investment in traffic engineering is the spot where 45th St, 46th St, Shilshole, and 17th Ave all come together in a short span. Traffic on 46th typically moves way over the speed limit, which makes the unprotected westbound left turn from 45th onto Shilshole rather harrowing. Putting a light or an all-way stop at that intersection could rllaey help to slow traffic down and make bikers more safe. I'm not sure if 46th is considered an arterial there, but it gets treated as one. We could easily try to change that. Let's not forget that this isn't just about bicycles. There's rllaey not a safe and pleasant way to walk to that part of Ballard from the east. Sidewalks just kind of disappear or turn into illegal parking spots on most of those streets. Addressing pedestrian needs is important as well. Sometimes I think this focus on the missing link, while important, is taking away some potential energy for a re-thinking of the major pedestrian and bike safety issues in that part of Ballard. I like the idea of thinking bigger. Leary is a nightmare. Shilshole needs to be re-imagined as it's increasingly becoming the back door for Ballard Ave businesses in addition to its role as the front door for some heavy industry. Ballard Ave could become pedestrian-only, or pedestrian + cycle track, at least during the weekends. These are not ideas that are incompatible with the missing link being built, but ways we can try to fit the missing link into a broader vision for that area.

Your metrics tell a story about the health of your supply chain. This information can uncover key business issues and gaps between supply chain performance and management expectations.
The Gartner Hierarchy of Supply Chain Metrics has long been regarded as the industry standard for end-to-end supply chain performance measurement. Gartner has translated this framework into a dynamic benchmark database that enables you to compare your organization against a peer group across 17 key supply chain performance metrics in seven core process areas. Unlike other methodologies that compare metrics in isolation, the Gartner benchmarking methodology looks at the interdependencies between metrics to identify improvement opportunities and make better business trade-offs.
Delivered in combination with research and expert advisory services, the Gartner benchmarking program provides the most comprehensive source for strategic supply chain measurement.

LL.M Seminar 2012 (cross-listed) | 2 credit hours
This workshop offers a guide to the effective representation of individual taxpayers, particularly those with low income, throughout the cycle of a tax dispute with the IRS, beginning at the administrative level and culminating in litigation in the U.S. Tax Court. We start with an overview of income tax issues that commonly affect these taxpayers and give rise to frequent litigation, including collection due process, innocent spouse relief and dependency exemptions. Acting as lawyers for the parties in two hypothetical cases presenting issues of that kind, students will conduct client interviews and appeals office hearings, draw up Tax Court petitions and briefs, and engage in other exercises designed to impart the skills of effective advocacy and to convey a practical understanding of the tax controversy process. An introductory course in taxation is a prerequisite. A course in tax practice and procedure is recommended but not required. Students will be graded on written assignments and on class performance during the semester.

Pucker Up!1 of 10
By Emma Barker for Cosmopolitan
Kissing is amazing—when it's done right. But a bad makeout can turn you off ASAP. To help the men out, we asked women to reveal their best and worst smooches. Guys, take note.
Peck Happy2 of 10
"A guy just gave me a series of pecks on the lips. It was seriously so so weird. I can't wrap my head around it." —Amy L

A Walk to Remember3 of 10
"Best kiss ever? Probably when we were hiking together on top of the Swiss Alps in the middle of winter and he took my face in his hands and said 'I want to marry you someday'...and then kissed me. It was so surreal." —Jennie D.
ON COSMOPOLITAN: Look Hot After a Makeout Session
Doggone It!4 of 10
"Two words: limp tongue. A really cute guy just sort of slobbered during our makeout session, reminding me of his cocker spaniel, whose tongue was always dangling lifelessly outside his mouth. Cute on the dog, not with a dude!" —Chrissy B.
Just Go for It5 of 10
"One of my best kisses was a guy who pressed me, rather assertively, against the wall, and just really went for it. Don't be delicate, guys!" —Sally R.

"I think the only acceptable arm positions for guys while kissing are hugging you, holding your head (like hands under your ears), or arms around your waist. I've experienced guys kissing with their arms straight at their sides and in assorted places (boobs, butt, back of my head) and they were all very awkward." —Erin G.

Grilled Avocado Sandwich
4 slices sandwich bread
vegan butter, as needed
whole grain mustard, to taste, optional
vegan mayo, to taste, optional
1 large ripe avocado, sliced thinly (I like Hass)
1. Spread the buttery spread on one side of all the bread slices. Place one slice, buttery side down, in a preheated frying pan over medium-low heat. If you want to add vegan mayo, mustard, or other "dressings" now is the time!
2. Otherwise, lay the avocado slices from one half of the avocado on the bread, covering well. Place another slice of bread, buttered side up, on top. Let cook 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden to your liking.
3. Carefully flip the sandwich over and grill the other side 3-5 minutes. Repeat the above to make the second sandwich.
This is best when you have a really fatty, good avocado (like Hass). If you use a Florida or other "low fat" or "wet" avocado the flavor is still there but it isn't as good, in my opinion. This goes well with soup.
I couldn't believe this was so simple and vegan!
I spread half an avocado, sauteed some sliced portabella mushrooms and red onions in garlic, used vegan cheddar cheese, and Earth Balance to butter the bread.
I will be making this again, and for my non-veggie friends!!!
I added some grilled onions and made this for my ovo-lacto vegetarian friend and we both loved it!!
Who woulda thought?! :>
This recipe has a high tastiness-to-effort ratio. :) I didn't find it to be bland at all, thanks to a good avocado and plenty of spicy whole-grain mustard. I may make another for breakfast tomorrow.
Simple, but good :). Think it needs a little tweaking, but not sure what. Maybe some spices, or peppers? I'm gonna make it again though. Why is it called a "grilled sandwich" by the way?
I make this all the time - I can't imagine it being bland! But some people's taste buds are just different I suppose.
At the risk of stating the obvious, if you find it bland I would suggest taking into consideration the kind/quality of the bread/avocado you use, as well as the kind of mustard/mayo/whatever else you choose to try with it....it can make all the difference!
Am I missing something?
I'm with you on this one! I found it very bland. I added tomatoes and was completely bored with it. Sorry!
Am I missing something? I made this exactly as submitted and I ended up throwing the other half away. There was nothing special or intriguing or distinguishable about this at all, except it was bland, slimy and gross, completely awful textures combined.
Quit settling people.
Sorry I offended u hun, I was just saying for other readers that if you do not like these "completely awful textures" then maybe it's not the sandwich for you!
much love

I think the way you said it is the problem... This recipe has 5 stars and 6 pages worth of good reviews, so maybe you're the one "settling" LOL... Your comment seemed rather snobby IMO... Nobody is asking you to lie, but a little tact is always appreciated

Movie Filming Locations
We are aware of three movies which were filmed near TN52. They are The Last Days of Frank and Jesse James, the original I Walk The Line, and our personal favorite October Sky. Also, the movie Broken Bridges was inspired by Red Boiling Springs. If anyone knows about any other movies, please e-mail Charlie.
Broken Bridges Filming Location
This movie was not actually filmed in Red Boiling Springs. (It was filmed in Atlanta.) However, the idea for the movie came to screenwriters Cherie Bennett and Jeff Gottesfeld on the front porch of Armour's Hotel in Red Boiling Springs. They initially named their script Angel From Montgomery, changing the name of the town from Red Boiling Springs to Montgomery. Later, the name of the movie was changed to Broken Bridges, and the movie takes place in the fictional town of Armour Springs! You may read Cherie and Jeff's story of that evening in Red Boiling Springs here: www.cheriebennett.com/broken_bridges.asp
The Last days of Frank and Jesse James Filming
Orlinda, Tennessee
Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and June Carter Cash starred in this 1986 made-for-TV movie. The town scenes in the movie were filmed in downtown Orlinda. Truckloads of dirt were brought in and spread out over the paved street to make it look like an old west dirt street. Other country scenes were filmed in Robertson County. See the Internet Movie Database for more information on the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091382 Interestingly, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash lived near Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville, which is right next door in Sumner County. Of course, both have since died.
I Walk the Line Filming Location
C11 Overton County
(Things to See in Jackson County)
C13 Fentress County
The 1970 movie I Walk the Line, starring Gregory Peck, Tuesday Weld, Estelle Parsons, and Charles Durning was filmed in Overton, Fentress and, Jackson Counties. Most of the scenes were filmed in rural areas that are not easy to find. One major exception is the courthouse square in downtown Gainesboro. The courthouse and the surrounding streets were prominently featured in the movie. This is where Sheriff Henry Tawes (Gregory Peck) and Deputy Wylie Hunnicutt (Charles Durning) had their office. Of course, the movie was also noted for the original music by Johnny Cash. One of our readers on www.tn52.com, James Elmore, sent us this note, "the conclusion of the movie I walk the Line was filmed in Davidson, Tennessee, in Fentress County. Notice the old Davidson store site in the movie." Read more about the movie on the Internet Movie Database: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065874
|C14 Morgan County
October Sky
Downtown Oliver Springs. This building was the Big Store in the movie!
Downtown Petros. This was Homer's house in the movie!
|Many of you have seen the 1998
Universal Pictures movie October Sky. Of course, the movie
was based on the true story of Homer Hickam and the Rocket Boys of
Coalwood. As you also know, Coalwood was a small mining town in southern
West Virginia. When it came time to film the movie, the real town of
Coalwood was too remote and did not have the facilities (hotels,
restaurants, etc.) needed to handle the cast and crew. This perfect
filming location, however, was found in East Tennessee! There are still
active coal mines in Morgan County and neighboring counties, and the
terrain of the area is very similar to the coal-mining area around the
real Coalwood. The majority of the film was actually shot in Morgan
County in and around Petros and Wartburg, and in Oliver Springs where
Morgan County, Anderson County and Roane Counties meet. Additional scenes
were shot in Harriman and in downtown Knoxville.
Charlie and Leonard (who are the webmasters for www.tn52.com) also have another web site dedicated to Coalwood. On the Coalwood web site, Charlie and Leonard are in the process of documenting all of the October Sky filming locations. You may view this web site here: www.coalwoodwestvirginia.com/october_sky.htm

By posting this handbook online with special commenting software provided by Future of the Book we're turning a declaration into a conversation. We, the faculty of NYU Journalism, encourage you, our readers, to engage with our ideas by posting your opinions alongside the text. We'll be part of this digital conversation, which we expect will shape "NYU Journalism Handbook 2.0."
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort to open-source the debate about journalism ethics, by which we mean: inviting the public into our classrooms. If the public perceives journalists as largely untrustworthy and unworthy of respect, perhaps the one-way nature of the conversation—we speak, you listen—is partly to blame.
Putting this handbook online and inviting comments is our way to harness the wisdom of the Web, fostering the sort of vigorous debate Jefferson had in mind when he wrote, "The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed."
—Prof. Adam L. Penenberg

Gigabyte Technology, leading manufacturer of motherboards, has partnered with gaming PC system builder CyberpowerPC, to offer Intel's extended warranty for overclocked processors for free. Purchased systems configured with the "K" Intel boxed microprocessors along with Gigabyte Z68 series motherboards will qualify.
Intel has a service plan for "K", "X", and LGA2011-socketed boxed processors called the performance tuning protection plan (PTPP) provide certain out-of-warranty service offerings in the event of damage caused by overclocking or overvoltaging by the user. Available at the cost between $20 and $35 (depending on microprocessor), the plan enables user to receive a one-time replacement processor if the user's overvoltaging or overclocking causes the original processor to fail. The plan only applies to issues directly related to performance tuning.
Gigabyte and CyberpowerPC are teamed up to bundle Intel's Plan free of charge, and allows you a single processor replacement through CyberpowerPC's customer support if the CPU fails while running outside of Intel specifications.
"For those who desire to obtain greater performance of the CPU by overclocking or tweaking the voltage, the Gigabyte Z68 series motherboards with their new redesigned VRM, promise to deliver first class system performance and power stability. With only the best quality components and unique design, incorporating Dual Power Switching and Power Phase Boost with Multi-gear Switching, your CPU can enjoy more unadulterated power from the motherboard than from previous motherboards" a statement by Gigabyte reads.

In fairness I would give this place a 3.5*. My boyfriend and I had walked past this place on a walk along the Thames on a sunny day a few weeks ago. Knowing that there were a few pubs in this "plaza" area, we decided to come back yesterday for a pint of cider and a spot of lunch. We opted for the Boathouse because the,food menu sounded good and we spotted a roof terrace and let's be honest,...more
Unwelcoming, rude, will never go back.
Wifi is poor, went in to do a bit of holiday research and the first stumbling block and mission impossible was please may we have two coffees? To which we got a gormless look of confusion and despair.
Forget about service... And don't even get me started on the shezlong... What's the point in having it if you don't want me to 'style out' on it?
This place didn't blow me away like I thought it might. Like others have said, it's a great location when the weather is right but it's pretty much the same as all the other vanilla riverside pubs lining the Thames.
Prices are typical Youngs prices and the food does seem overly priced, especially the 12/13 quid they're asking for to have a basic enough burger and chips.
Table service was...more
I agree with the general Qype consensus on this pub.
The location is great and sitting on the balcony on a nice sunny day is fantastic.
The food however is just ok, not bad just not wow. So with it the food just being ok the prices are slightly inflated. I.e. the food really should be £7/£8 rather than £12. Sure it's a slight difference but it's 50% than they really should be charging.

Saving the Soviets
Whenever I speak on global Christianity, I can count on getting at least one question along the lines of "So do you think Africans might start sending missionaries to convert Europe or America someday?" My response usually begins with the story of Sunday Adelaja, which is so radically counterintuitive for anyone brought up during the cold war as to sound like the start of a bad joke: "Did you hear about the African who tried to start a church in the Soviet Union?"
The reality, though, is anything but trivial. Though he has gone through some recent difficulties, Sunday Adelaja remains a startling personification of worldwide shifts in Christianity.

Who needs color when you can glitter in metallic silver and sparkly black? Naomi Watts lit up the red carpet at the Salt premiere in a silver strapless Gucci dress, which looked so stunning with her blonde hair. Continuing the shiny trend, Alyssa Milano accepted her VH1 Do Something award last night in a silver top and high-waisted, cropped black pants by Alice + Olivia. She added a pop of color with her parrot-green platform pumps, which are so ladylike — but with a twist. LOVE! And because the third time is the charm, Angelina Jolie attended last night's premiere of Salt in a strapless black dress by Emporio Armani.
Want to cop the trend? Good news! You don't have to have a black Amex to buy these looks. Find a silver strapless number just like Naomi's can be found at Dillards for $160. Score Alyssa Milano's exact silver tee from Alice + Olivia ($237), or, for a cheaper portion of her outfit, snag green heels from Steve Madden ($89). And finally, get Angelina's elegant gleam with a dress by Asos, on sale for only $33.69. Shine on!

The next time Chris Tucker, Khandi Alexander and Sarah Rafferty get asked what they're wearing on the runway, they can say Jewels for Hope.
The Stamford-based jewelry company owned by Sandy D'Andrea and her daughter, Stevie, recently got some high-profile customers when they set up shop at the Oscar's Gift Lounge at The Sofitel Los Angeles last month.
Joey Lawrence, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tucker Albrizzi and Raphael Sbarge also came to check out the mother-daughter team's hand-crafted swag.
Rafferty, a Greenwich native and star of the USA Network drama "Suits," stayed to talk with Stevie — a highlight of her evening.
"Sarah actually posed with our Charity Bracelets and stayed and talked with me a bit about growing up in Riverside," Stevie said in an email. "We connected over our love of the Stamford Mall. I'm a big fan of her show 'Suits.'"
Jewels for Hope joined the Oscar's Gift Lounge as part of The Artisan Group, which gives owners of artisan businesses the chance to introduce their products to celebrities, industry leaders and members of the press through participation in major award show gift lounges.
"The owner of the group, Valerie, asked me to go to the gift lounge with her and I jumped at the chance!" Stevie said.
Jewles for Hope donates portions of the profits of every sale to local nonprofit organizations, including The Foodbank of Lower Fairfield County, Save the Sound and the Alzheimer's Association.

MIDDLEBURY — Everyone in Addison County knows Lucien Paquette, he moved to Addison County in 1946 to become County Extension Agent. Over 36 years in that position he became the best-known agriculturalist in the county.
Working with farmers of all sorts of crops — from apples to dairy — he developed a reputation that continues to be strong today.
Because of his enduring ties to farming in the Green Mountain State, Paquette recently was inducted into the Vermont Agricultural Hall of Fame.

VERMONT — The Vermont Agency of Agriculture recognized 140 dairy farms as "Dairies of Distinction" at the annual luncheon hosted at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex this past Thursday. Twenty-seven of those farms, or about one-fifth of the total, are in Addison County.
The U.S. Department of Labor has issued a new publication and video to provide agricultural employers and workers with simple, clear information on the laws governing employment of agricultural and farm workers.
BURLINGTON — U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, flanked by Sen. Patrick Leahy and Rep. Peter Welch at a press conference in Burlington last Thursday, announced a new dairy insurance program to protect farmers against volatile price swings.
"I would urge farmers to sign up to this program for $100," Leahy said. "It is a great investment and a chance to stop the boom and bust cycle we have."
BURLINGTON — With the stunning vista of Lake Champlain at his back, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced last Thursday that the federal government will spend up to $45 million to protect the lake and its watershed.
ADDISON COUNTY — It's no secret that Vermont's farmers are aging, but a program run by the University of Vermont Extension aims to inject new blood into the state's backbone industry.
This week's writer is Emerson Lynn, editor of the St. Albans Messenger
Franklin County has long held the distinction of producing more milk than any other county in Vermont, or New England. Dairy farmers have been to Franklin County what the Red Sox are to Boston.
There are easier professions, which explains why the average age of a dairy farmer includes a lot of gray hair, aching backs and not a lot of extended vacations.
And, increasingly, not a lot of sympathy.
VERGENNES — A crew of four will set sail down the Hudson River early this June on the Ceres, the volunteer-built sailing barge of the Vermont Sail Freight Project, whose mission is to bring low-carbon regional food trade back to the Hudson. VSFP is entering its second season of operation and plans to host about 15 public markets on its journey down to the New York/New Jersey harbor and back.
NEW HAVEN — Many businesses release quarterly newsletters to keep their customers up to date on what's going on in their industry, but Phoenix Feeds and Nutrition Inc. is upping the ante. The New Haven company, which serves those on the front lines of agriculture, last week introduced a new dairy magazine called Perspectives: Dairy farming in the Northeast.
