NOBLE Presents Disturbing Report on BART Police Department, 10/1/09: audio and full report
Exactly nine months to the day after the BART police murder of Oscar Grant III, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) presented a draft version of its "top to bottom" review of the BART police department to the Board of Directors in a Special Meeting on October 1st. NOBLE was hired by BART in April to conduct the review at a cost of $128,000. The entire 303-page draft version of the "BART Police Department Management Audit" is attached below. The final version is expected in two to three weeks. Pictured here are the NOBLE representatives who presented the review to the BART Board of Directors: Patrick Oliver, former Chief of Police for four different departments in Ohio; Lou Dekmar, Chief of Police in LaGrange, Georgia; and Wanda Dunham, Chief of Police for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA).
While the public version of the Meyers Nave report released in August largely focused on the many failures of January 1st -- when BART officers detained and abused several young men and Johannes Mehserle shot Oscar Grant in the back -- the NOBLE report thoroughly examines BART police as a whole from the perspective of modern standards of policing.
Not surprising to community activists who have long claimed that BART police are an unprofessional and out of control danger to communities of color, the NOBLE report depicts the BART Police Department as deficient in every way imaginable. From a lack of training to issues with recruiting and promotions, from internal affairs to community relations, from use of force to discipline of officers, from racial profiling to civilian oversight, from policy manuals to plans for catastrophic events, the report identifies problems everywhere. The report notes that BART police's headquarters at the Lake Merritt station is "embarrassing" and "disgusting", which aptly could be taken as a metaphor for the department itself.
In an attempt to compensate for its many failures, and pretend that it has done more than it has to rectify the situation over the last nine months, BART officials such as Director Carole Ward Allen and General Manager Dorothy Dugger trumpeted during the course of the Special Board Meeting that the agency has recently instituted eight updates to its police department manual, including changing their use of force polices so that all use of force incidents will soon be reported, not just "major" ones as in the past, and that they have increased police training hours and added topics such as diversity and racial profiling to the course work.
The elephant in the board room, of course, is that BART continues to refuse to hold even a single person accountable for the serious misconduct of their officers on New Year's Day or for the cover-up by supervisors afterwards. Johannes Mehserle was never interviewed by BART about the shooting and was allowed to resign of his own accord. On Chief Gary Gee's watch, BART police have murdered two unarmed African American men in the East Bay -- Bruce Edward Seward in 2001 and Oscar Grant in 2009. Yet as 2010 approaches he has taken no notable action to reign in his out of control police force. And still, the BART Board and Dorothy Dugger are allowing him to retire on his own timetable. Gee is not expected to be out before the end of the year, and since he stated that he is in opposition to the Meyers Nave report, there is now little reason to expect that before he leaves he will hold anyone accountable or take any serious steps toward implementing NOBLE recommendations. GM Dorothy Dugger has played apologist for Chief Gee and his rogue BART police department all along -- and despite that at least one Board member called for her to be fired as far back as February, she has yet to be held accountable for the many failures that have happened under her supervision. Dugger and Gee are the only ones at BART who can fire police, and the BART Board has failed to hold them accountable, so officers Tony Pirone and Marysol Domenici, who both abused Oscar Grant and his friends on the Fruitvale station platform, continue to enjoy paid leave while BART looks the other way. The other four officers on the platform with Mehserle, Pirone, and Domenici were reinstated in September and are now back on the force. And besides the general dereliction of duty mentioned in the public version of the Meyers Nave report, BART supervisors ranking in between the officers on the platform and Chief Gee, including those in Internal Affairs, have not been called out regarding failures or cover-up attempts related to the murder of Oscar Grant. At the Special Meeting, though, it was revealed that several BART police supervisors will also be retiring soon. (Were they named in the non-public version of the Meyers Nave report which apparently recommended the firing of Tony Pirone and Marysol Domenici?) In short, the BART Board has lacked the moral courage to hold a single person accountable no matter how obvious the evidence against them. It appears that some of the culprits are being allowed to slither away on their own.
Nevertheless, much can be gleaned from NOBLE's lengthy report, either directly or by reading between the lines, regarding reasons as to why BART police would feel free to act as badly as they were caught on camera behaving on January 1st. For instance, one BART officer is quoted as saying, "Discipline here is you either get fired or nothing gets done... it's worthless when trying to correct behavior." Discipline was "weak to poor" before Oscar Grant was shot, officers reported to NOBLE, and it has only "tightened-up some" since. (Thanks, Chief Gee.) One supervisor told NOBLE that it was common for officers, when assigned a task they don't want to do, to simply declare "I'm sick" and then depart work for the day. Another reported that the attitude most officers have toward discipline is: "Write me up... nothing will happen and it will be out of my file in nine months." As for reading between the lines, NOBLE's focus on racial profiling training and record-keeping, and likewise BART's Board members trumpeting that this most basic of instruction will now be a part of police training, indirectly are admissions that the racism that runs through the department needs to be addressed. Regarding the escalation of officer misconduct, NOBLE writes: "minor policy violations are frequently overlooked and 'don't get dealt with' and those violations develop into major performance and behavior issues." Combine that with the strong NOBLE emphasis on establishing a proper promotions policy for BART police, and it appears that some officers have been sent up the ranks despite known severe behavioral issues. With problem officers and supervisors running amok and covering for each other, it is little wonder when NOBLE points out that the 13 citizen complaints against BART police on file for 2008 seems unusually low compared with the agency's number of sworn officers and the number of BART patrons. With its lack of structure and predictability for officers, it is also little wonder that morale is not good amongst BART police. The problems go on and on, and on and on, for most of the 303 pages in the full report.
Oddly, knowing what they know now about BART's deeply inept, reckless, and corrupt police force, the NOBLE report attempts to justify the continued existence of the BART police department, albeit on flimsy grounds that ignore the fact that every supposed reason listed why BART needs its own force could easily be accomplished by other departments in the area BART serves.
After the NOBLE representatives walked BART directors through the "executive summary" of their report at the meeting, elaborating on the recommendations point by point, the few members of the community who were aware of the meeting and chose to attend were allowed to comment. All of the speakers expressed great skepticism that BART will implement a fraction of the recommendations. It was pointed out that the online survey NOBLE conducted which came up with some positive results for public opinion of BART was not a scientific survey so the data presented is relatively meaningless. As a sidenote, NOBLE appears to have ignored in its report the two public forums it held in June, purportedly to gather community feedback for the report.
Several BART Directors spoke of creating action plans and matrices to track progress made toward adoption or rejection of NOBLE's recommendations. The Board agreed that the new mission of their Police Department Review Committee will be to oversee implementation of the NOBLE recommendations that they choose to adopt. The BART Police Department Review Committee will meet next at 9am on Monday, October 5th, in the BART Board Room on the third floor at 344 20th St., Oakland. The meeting is semi-public ("semi" because it is open but they schedule it during business hours when most people work).

BART Management Audit Executive Summary
BART Management Audit Executive Summary of Major Recommendations
The following are some general conclusions that the NOBLE Study Team of consultants has drawn from its work on the BART Police Management Audit review.
a. Better responsiveness to calls for service;
b. Higher degree of safety to all patrons;
c. Understanding the goals of administration;
d. Cohesiveness of response to client needs;
e. Developing and implementing counter-terrorism strategies;
f. Intelligence information gathering and sharing;
g. Officer presence on the trains;
h. Establishing police-community relations;
i. The level of community crime;
j. The volume of commuter traffic;
k. Fare evasion and cashier stations; and
l. Parking lot safety.
The agency's members should receive annual use of deadly force training and biennial less-lethal force training. Training should include the legal justification for the use of force, with a provision for tracking and mandating attendance for those that do not attend regularly scheduled training. The removal of personnel from any position requiring a firearm should occur when they fail to attend and achieve firearms qualification, until the member satisfies the Agency qualification requirements. There also should be a provision for tracking and mandating attendance at make-up training for those that do not attend regularly scheduled training. The agency should develop a written use of force testing instrument.
The agency should develop a reporting system that ensures all incidents involving the application of force, including leg sweeps, elbow jabs, punches, kicks or other weaponless force, are well documented and the salient facts surrounding the event noted. Serious consideration should be given to developing a separate use of force report that is completed when an incident involves the application of force; training in the proper documentation of use of force events is paramount.
A part of the use of force policy should include a response to the scene of any use of force incident by a supervisor requiring that the supervisor to conduct a documented review of the incident.
All officers and supervisory personnel should be trained on the importance of immediately notifying the communications center when a use of force incident occurs and the necessity of identifying and securing witnesses.
The process should include a charge requiring Internal Affairs to conduct an independent review of all use of force reports and to make a separate finding in addition to tracking and recording use of force events. Additionally, the Training function should receive a copy of reviews or analysis so they are in a position to identify training needs or policy issues.
The agency should consider modifying its policy to provide for an "outside" agency to conduct the criminal investigation anytime an application of force by an officer results in death or serious bodily injury.
The agency should conduct an annual analysis of all use of force events. A review of incidents of force may reveal patterns or trends that could indicate training needs, equipment upgrades, and/or policy modifications.
a. All appeals should stop at the General Manager. The decision at that level is final. The Board of Directors is a policy making body of elected officials and should avoid issues of management oversight other than for the General Manager.
b. The process of establishing an independent Citizen Oversight System for the BART Police Department should be developed at a pace sufficient for proper planning and should not be established solely because of the urgent and vocal demands of the community. The community may not like the end results because the system may be flawed as a result of establishing the policies, procedures and system too rapidly. The System must also be properly subsidized and carefully thought out and planned. The community should also be provided with monthly updates on the progress of the Civilian Oversight System.
c. The Independent Police Auditor, members of the Citizen Board or Investigators should not be police officers or former law enforcement officers. They also should not be investigators. When police officers are part of Citizen Boards they can inadvertently function as or be perceived as a "Police Commission or Panel of Review". In fact, since recommendations shall be made about BART Police Officers' behavior and conduct, respected psychologists and sociologists might be considered to be members of the Citizen Board. For example, psychologists are trained to perform psychological research, testing and therapy. They can recognize aggressive, "hyper-vigilant" police officers. Sociologists study human social behavior. This shall be helpful when reviewing complex cases involving multiple complainants, witnesses and police officers.
d. The BART Board of Directors should not appoint the Citizen Board directly. The Citizen Board should be free of politics and even the perception that they are influenced by politicians. If Board of Directors are politicians (or associated with politicians), appointment of Citizen Board members by politicians may appear impartial. Citizen Board members can be interviewed and hired by NACOLE, the California Human Relations Commission or another independent organization that Citizen Board members and Investigators should be established. The BART Board of Directors should select Citizen Board members from a list provided by NACOLE.
e. There must be a clear, dedicated funding source for the Citizen Oversight System. The source of funding should be determined now. A budget must also be established as well as an organizational structure.
f. Regular and consistent training must be provided to Citizen Board members. This training shall include familiarization with POST, the BART system, Operational Directives (especially Positive Discipline Policy or Disciplinary Code), Contract Agreements, Grievance Procedures, Due Process Policies and Internal Affairs policies and procedures.
g. Citizen Board members as well as the Auditor should have a relationship with local prosecutors (District Attorney) along with the Offices of the State Attorney General and the United States Attorney. Complainants allegations should be forwarded to the appropriate agency for action.
h. Recommendations for Corrective Action: Independent investigative findings made by the Office of the Police Auditor shall include recommendations for corrective action, up to and including termination where warranted and shall include prior complaints and their disposition. Discipline that is recommended shall be consistent with past practice and uniformly applied. Any discipline action initiated by the Bart Police Department will comply with the Positive Discipline System guidelines (e.g. Operational Directive #77), other appropriate guidelines and any labor agreements in effect. Every officer is entitled to Due Process. When the evidence does not support the allegations of misconduct, the Auditor shall recommend to the Citizen Board that the matter be dismissed. The Citizen Board shall have a simple vote to determine if the matter shall be dismissed. This process must be appropriately documented in writing and endorsed by the Auditor and each member of the Citizen Board. Proper notification must be made in writing to the complainant and the BART police officer regarding the disposition of the investigation.
If the complainant wishes to withdraw a complaint, the Auditor shall forward documentation to the Citizen Board that is endorsed by the complainant. These procedures must be clearly communicated to all parties including the community.
i. Time limits should be indicated throughout the policy. For example, "In a confidential personnel meeting, the Auditor shall submit his/her investigative findings and recommendations in writing to the Citizen Board for review within 60 calendar days. Should the Citizen Board agree with the findings and recommendations, the report will be submitted to the Chief of Police for appropriate action within 10 calendar days. The Chief of Police shall implement the recommended action in accordance with the Positive Discipline guidelines, absent appeal."
While the unit seems to have its primary value and on-going function of the execution of high-risk warrants, its overall benefit needs to be evaluated against cost, value, and liability. Since the entire rail service area is contiguous with other jurisdictions with full service SWAT and hostage negotiation units, it might beneficial and cost effective to establish MOU's with each respective jurisdiction for SWAT, and possibly, high risk warrant service. However, to have a SWAT team available across all the respective jurisdictions with a counter-terrorism focus also has value. In a post-9/11 society, transit systems which have always been a high value community asset, have a greater degree of vulnerability.
Our sense is that tactical units are more the norm for similarly situated departments and, with the elimination of the SWAT unit, more resources might be devoted to this functionality. We would think that more senior experienced officers be assigned this kind of duty. However, the threat of terrorism to a transit system increases the value of a transit police SWAT team. The agency should conduct its own analysis in this area to validate its decision.
a. Internal affairs case management software is available and should be employed to categorize investigations, officer behavior, discipline, developing trends and many others. In additional to serving as a repository for statistical data, periodic analysis can provide indicators that written policies may be deficient, deviant behavior may be prevalent, the number and kinds of disciplinary actions taken against an individual officer may be inordinate, or officers on the same shift or in the same unit may have developed a subculture contrary to the values of the department.
b. The purpose of an early warning and intervention system is to track indicators that will identify patterns of officer conduct that fall outside of the norm. The indicators may show positive performance by an officer or it may show unsatisfactory behavior.
c. This program will assist BART by identifying problem employees, identifying training needs, indicating the type of intervention required, and ultimately reducing misconduct.
The agency should adopt a more traditional police discipline system, and centralize the Employee Development Record [EDR] files. This would simplify discipline records review by supervisors, managers, and Internal Affairs. Numerous affordable computer software programs are available that can simplify this process.
Purging disciplinary matters in 90-days to a year or less does not provide for the proper and deliberate monitoring of problem employee behaviors or performance. The agency should consider significant modifications to the agency disciplinary system as the current disciplinary process does not provide for an effective Early Warning or Early Intervention program.

The Wi-Fi at L'hotel was the best we encoutered in our three months in Europe. Very good value. The location is very ordinary (commercial zone with a large car park, supermarket, McDonalds, etc) unless you are looking to break your journey and be right next to the major road.
Charming, quiet and very well located.
The staff were friendly, the rooms were well lit and airy. The breakfast was not good value for money.
Very pleasant, friendly, good location, excellent dining on terrace
Location was good for our needs There was no elevator or aircon. Also the holder for the shower hose was nowhere near where the hose ended so you had to hold it yourself!! Very annoying and a problem they could easily rectify if they were bothered.
Conveniently located in the centre of town. Quiet. No aircon, bathroom was a bit tired, room had a bit of a smell, hallway was pitch black, couldn't find the light.
It's ok, great location Wifi didn't work,
Excellent quiet location, comfy beds. Staff very friendly and a nice big breakfast room with fine view of the church (worth a visit!)
Comfortable enough for the money, but rather lacking in anything above ordinary. Fairly impersonal. More of a business one-night hotel than anything else.
It was comfortable for the night we passed from one place to another, and it had a nice breakfast. A fair price for what we got
I like the themes of the rooms. Staff very nice and helpfull
Beautiful space, convenient to Provins sights. Very cramped quarters, no place to put away clothing, and our "snow crystals" dropped on our heads and on the bed.
Friendly efficient staff, very nice room, good facilities, I.E.swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym Just a bit off the beaten track in a not too attractive village
Nothing in particular, the town was not at all interesting. The Dining Room was lacking in 'atmosphere'.
Secure parking and comfortable rooms Evening meal was very patchy. Two of us ordered the lamb - one was superb and the other was nothing but gristle

In a statement to parliament, childcare minister Sam Gyimah said education support grant (ESG), which funds councils' school improvement and support work, will be reduced from £87 to £77 per pupil in 2016/17.
It follows the announcement made by Chancellor George Osborne at the Spending Review that the ESG would be cut by £600m over the next five years. The move has been made as part of the government's commitment to reduce councils' role in running schools.
The announcement was criticised by teachers' unions.
Kevin Courtney, deputy general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "It is a sad indictment of government that it fails to recognise the simple fact that a world-class education system needs to be properly funded and resourced.
"The ESG was cut by 20 per cent under the previous government. The further reduction from £87 to £77 per pupil confirmed today will result in yet more cuts to provision in an area that has already been hard hit.
"The government needs to understand that education cuts don't heal, they are letting a generation of students down who deserve and expect better."
Gymiah added that an extra £92.5m will be available for the element of the direct schools grant that supports pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
He also confirmed that pupil premium rates will remain at 2015/16 rates over the next financial year.
In a separate move, the government published details of the draft local government finance settlement for 2016/17, which contains the first tranche of cuts in government funding for local authorities over the next four years.
Communities Secretary Greg Clark told the House of Commons that most of the reductions will take place in the next two years. Total funding from central government to councils will fall by 2.8 per cent in 2016/17 but will level out by 2019/20, he added.
He said that the four-year settlement, which includes an extra £3.5bn for adult social care, will give councils greater control over their finances and "protects the resources available to councils over the next four years".
But Local Government Association chairman Lord Gary Porter said: "There are still significant challenges ahead for councils who will have to make efficiency and other savings sufficient enough to compensate for any additional cost pressures they face.
"These include those arising from general inflation, cost pressures in the care sector and increases in the number of adults and children needing support and rising levels of need."

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
The Wyoming Cowboy wrestling team went winless at the Buckeye Duals in Columbus, Ohio today. Wyoming faced Northern Illinois, Kent State, and Illinois.
The Cowboys opened up against #25 ranked Northern Illinois and the Pokes would battle in almost every match, but fall 25-12. The dual did not start the way the Cowboys wanted as they dropped the first two matches. At 141 pounds, freshman Garrett Desmond would battle Andy Hiatt, but lose an 11-2 decision. Next, UW's Patrick Shuler would fight hard in a loss to Mike Grimes 4-3.
However, UW's Dan Clum would get the Pokes on the board at 157 pounds with a victory over Joe Henning 4-0. Gary Dack would keep the momentum and defeat John Galloway 5-2. The Pokes would then go on to forfeit the 174 pound weight class and would forfeit it the rest of the day.
That didn't seem to bother UW's Samuel Wendland as he would beat Derek Lalowski 10-5 at 184 pounds. Next, NIU's 197 pounder Dan Huntsinger would defeat Malcolm Havens by fall at the 5:46 mark. At heavyweight, NIU's Joe Sapp would come out on top over Jason Still 5-2.
UW's Bryce Leonhardt would break NIU's short streak with a win over Chad Vandiver 5-3 at 125 pounds. The 133 pound bout would finish the dual with NIU's Pat Castillo defeating Tyson Shatto 7-2.
Next for the Pokes would be Kent State. The Golden Flashes would prove to be to much for Wyoming as they would win 36-15.
The dual would start slow for the Pokes again as they would drop the first three matches. UW's Ty Wagner fell to Jason McGee at the 3:29 mark in the 141 pound bout. At 149 pounds, Patrick Shuler would fall by injury forfeit to #20 ranked Jason Bake of KSU. Wyoming's Clum would then lose by fall to Kurt Goss at 4:41 at 157 pounds.
UW's Gary Dack would stop the streak with a 3-2 decision over Nick Brenner to make his record 2-0 on the day.
At 184 pounds #15 ranked Alex Camargo would go on to defeat UW's Samuel Wendland 9-3. KSU's Ben Rings would then follow with a 6-2 victory of his own over Malcolm Havens. The last actual bout of the match would feature Wyoming's Jason Still falling by injury default to the #20 ranked heavyweight in Tomas Rodriguez. UW's Leonhardt and Shatto would both get forfeit victories to end the dual.
The last match of the day for the Pokes would be against Illinois, where they would struggle to a 47-0 loss.
UW's Wagner started the dual against Casio Pero, with Pero winning by fall at the 6:40 mark. Wyoming would then forfeit the 149 pound weight class due to Patrick Shuler's injury in the match before. Illinois' Anton Dietzen then defeated Dan Clum in a hard fought 5-2 decision at 157 pounds.
UW's Gary Dack faced #14 ranked Don Reynolds and lost by fall at the 2:12 mark. 184 pounder Samuel Wendland then lost to Matt Winterhalter in a 9-1 major decision.
UW's Jason Still would try to battle through a previous injury against #15 ranked Matt Behnke, but it would be too painful and he lost by injury forfeit. Illinois' Kyle Ott then would win 7-3 over Leonhardt at 125 pounds. The final match of the day would be decided by major decision as Mark Jayne would defeat UW's Tyson Shatto 11-3.
The Cowboys will return to the mat next weekend as they have a busy schedule. The Pokes will play host to Oregon State on Friday night at 7:00 and then the Cowboy Duals all day Saturday. The Cowboy Duals will feature California Davis, Western Wyoming, and Northwest Wyoming. Both Friday and Saturday's duals will be at UW's Multipurpose Gymnasium.

Samah Anwar publicly apologizes for wanting to burn protesters
Egyptian actress Samah Anwar has publicly apologized to all the protesters of Egypt's January 25 Revolution that overthrew the government of former President Husni Mubarak for the uncalled comments she made and stated that she respects them and what they stood for. She added that the protesters were able to succeed in making their voices heard and reveal the faces of corruption that were taking over Egypt.
Samah stated that her statement of wanting to burn the protesters was misunderstood and what she called for is to burn the people who were destroying the country by acts of looting and committing crimes. She added that she never meant for her statements to be about the protests stressing that she was misinformed by the media about the actual facts of the revolution.
During an interview with the news channel 'Al Arabia', Samah said that the protesters have a right to say what they want about me, but she never meant for her statements to include them and she publicly apologizes to them and hopes that they forgive her. She added that like all Egyptians that did not go out in the streets and remained home, she was mislead by the propaganda on the Egyptian television channel that was pro-Mubarak and portrayed the wrong image of the protesters and their causes.
Samah revealed that she has posted a video on the internet website YouTube explaining her position and the intention of the remarks she had made. She added that at the time what had caused her to say such remarks was the fact that her son was ill and she could not get medical help to treat him.
In the midst of the revolution that took place in Egypt, Samah was outraged by protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square to the point that she has called on officials to "burn them to the ground because they are destroying Egypt."
She said in a public statement that if the situation required authorities to use fighter planes and nuclear bombs against them, then no time should be wasted in order to save Egypt".
The comments made by Samah provoked harsh attacks against her on the social networking internet website Facebook. People posted comments describing her calls to burn the citizens of her own country as simply brutal and inhumane, and should make people rethink the roles stars play in their lives.

I dont know what happened to my original post but I thought others might be interested in this. I posted the same pill id question on another forum and finally found out. It is a 10mg Diazepam. Been out only 2 weeks which is why there was no info on it. Someone contacted Qualitest and that is what they were told.
The pill is small, round and blue. One side has a cursive V on it (Vintage\Qualitest logo) and the other side is scored with a small 2684 printed on one side of the score. Just posted this in case anyone ran into the same pill and had the same question about it. There really is no info on the web about it yet.

See Paul's new Web-Video!
..... with thanks to Cornucopia Films
Windows Media (4MB)
Quicktime (2MB)
Mpeg-4 (4MB)
Three formats. One choice for Congress!
Catch the League of Women Voters sponsored debate on television and see Paul
answering the questions that Weldon refused to answer for District 7.
Watch Comcast Channel 76, Monday and Wednesday 6 PM, Friday 6 or 7 PM, Monday (Nov. 1) 6PM
I am taking on Weldon. But in typical Weldon fashion, he has been unresponsive to the democratic process. Here's what happened: Curt has refused to attend any open interview and refused invitations to debates sponsored by everyone from the League of Women Voters to the Catholics for Peace and Justice. He has, in fact, refused to participate in any event which includes an opponent. His press secretary says that he's far too busy to actually spend time campaigning for re-election. In short, his time is too valuable to waste on his constituents.
But he needs to explain how his 38 trips to Russia have helped the 7th District. Why he ranks #3 in trips paid for by lobbyists. Why he thinks we need assault weapons on our streets. Why he introduced a bill to reinstate the draft. Why he is a strong supporter of Sun Myung Moon, a major destabilizing influence on the Korean peninsula. Why companies and individuals for which he used his influence paid his daughter and a political ally nearly a million dollars. Why Pennsylvania is 48th among the states in per-capita Federal Homeland Security money. Why of 238 grants to Pennsylvania firefighters under the Homeland Security Department, only 3 came to the 7th District.
But most of all, he needs to explain why, this session, every time he's voted, it was with Tom DeLay. He supports every move the ultra right has made, from an unnecessary war to tax cuts for the wealthy, from starving education to gutting environmental regulations. He's a major supporter of an administration that has attacked seniors, unions, and the poor, failed to provide health care for all Americans and relentlessly attacked Social Security and Medicare. He calls himself a conservative, yet he voted for the largest deficit in American history. Curt looks at the balance between the people he represents and the lobbyists who give him money, and comes down for the lobbyists every time.
I think the people of the 7th District deserve a congressman who will work as hard for them as he does for big money contributors. Who listens to them, rather than the right wing ideologues of the Republican Party. Who will work for health care for all Americans, a balanced budget, security at home and respect abroad. With your help, and your vote, I will be that Congressman.
The first responsibility of Government is to keep us safe in our homes, and to keep America safe in the world.
WAR in IRAQ
Were responsible for the reconstruction of the country and the establishment of a government chosen by and supported by the people of Iraq.
JOBS and the ECONOMY
The Bush Administration and the Republican Congress have presided over the most devastating economic turn around in American history.
It is our duty as citizens in the wealthiest nation in the world to provide health insurance for all our fellow citizens.

It may not surprise you that I receive a fair amount of "hate" mail.
The barbs are predictable and the accusations unsupported by fact but the feelings might best be described as "hot." Sometimes the sender includes a token of their disaffection. I've received dead flowers, a Millstone coffee bag and lots of my own writings scrawled through with language I am surprised to find on the lips of fellow Presbyterians.
I read and pray over each one. I collect the correspondence in what started as a prayer folder but, in the five years I have served in this position, the folder has grown into a large box.
Recently I sent a "reader survey" out to everyone who subscribes to the print edition of The Layman. The primary objective was to begin segregating our mailing list for the three editions (standard, EPC specific and ECO specific) we plan to begin publishing beginning in February 2014. We sent a business reply envelope to make it easier for folks to reply. Which brings us to the mean-spirited impulse of one particular PCUSA minister.
Knowing that if she filled the envelope with dense heavy material the Lay Committee would have to pay the U.S. Postal Service a premium amount for the envelope to be delivered, she took the time and exerted the effort to cut asphalt shingles to size and stuffed the envelope full. She also filled out and returned the reader survey indicating that, at the PLC's expense, she would like to continue receiving The Layman. Her hatred seethes with each sentence of vitriol.
My guess is that asphalt shingles was the closest thing she could find to proverbial "burning coals." But that seems to miss the meaning of Romans 12:20 altogether.
Thus begins another day as the President of The Presbyterian Lay Committee – fully committed to speaking the truth in love, come what does, even in the mail.

Welcome to Planet Earth
The good news is that Joseph (Christopher M. Brown) has just inherited a boardinghouse. The bad news: It's awash in debt, and he needs to find tenants -- fast. So naturally, Joseph is delighted when Charlie (George Wendt), his wife (Shanna Reed) and their curvaceous daughter (Anastasia Sakelaris) drop in looking for a place to stay while they're on vacation … from another planet. Lev L. Spiro helmed this quirky sci-fi comedy.

Teaching Tlingit Teachers
Elders are paired with teachers in an innovative course to train teachers of Tlingit in the use of Tlingit verbs.
Richard Dauehauer consults with class participants in rural Southeast Alaska via teleconference from Bill Ray Center.
Elders Walter Sobeleff and Florence Marks Sheakley look over course content.
Participants work with a data base of 500 verbs created by Linguist Keri Edwards. The weekly course, the result of a partnership between the Goldbelt Heritage Foundation and the University of Alaska Southeast, is attended in person in downtown Juneau at the UAS Bill Ray Center and via audio conference by teachers and elders from Southeast communities including Hoonah, Sitka, Kake, Wrangell,and Klukwan. The goal of the project is to boost the standards for teaching Tlingit. Each student creates a teaching unit of five lessons tailored to their classroom. The materials development course is taught by UAS Professor Richard Dauenhauer. A separate linguistics course is taught by Edwards. Both courses are funded by a three year grant acquired by the Goldbelt Heritage Foundation from the Administration for Native Americans. In addition, the grant supports tuition for some of the students enrolled in a Tlingit transcription course taught by UAS faculty and linguists Richard Dauenhauer and Alice Taff that introduces students to state of the art computer software for linguistic transcription.
Dauenhauer noted that this is one of the few programs in the country in which a university and tribal organization try to build a community program to revitalize an endangered language. Tlingit is now estimated to have fewer than 200 speakers.

Archbishop is 'collaborator' in helping lead the faithful to holiness
Catholic News Service photo
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone stands enters the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco as he arrives for his installation as the ninth archbishop of San Francisco Oct. 4. He succeeds Archbishop George Niederauer, 76, who had hea ded the San Francisco Archdiocese since 2005.
Catholic News Service
SAN FRANCISCO — On the feast of St. Francis of Assisi in the city of St. Francis, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone was installed at the ninth archbishop of San Francisco at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption, and found inspiration in that patron saint to whom Jesus had said, "Francis, rebuild my house."
On Oct. 4 at a Mass of installation, with some 40 other bishops from around the world and more than 250 priests and 64 deacons participating, Archbishop Cordileone began his work as shepherd to more than a half million Catholics of San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo counties.
He talked about being a collaborator with 416 priests to help people get to holiness.
"To you my flock here in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, please know how much I am looking forward to getting to know you all and together with you crafting a vision and plan for furthering the new evangelization here and so continue the good work that has been carried on in this local church for over 150 years," said Archbishop Cordileone, who succeeds retired Archbishop George H. Niederauer.
Outside the cathedral, protesters denouncing Archbishop Cordileone's opposition to same-sex marriage held forth. He is chairman of the U.S. bishops' Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage.
But the two-hour-long Mass was without interruption and the only competition for the attention of the capacity crowd was the occasional fly-over by the Blue Angels.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, apostolic nuncio to the United States, was the presiding bishop. Msgr. C. Michael Padazinski, chancellor of the archdiocese, read Pope Benedict XVI's apostolic letter appointing the new San Francisco archbishop, transferring him from Oakland, where he had been bishop for three years.
The new archbishop, with humility and a dash of self-deprecating humor, mentioned in his homily that "God has always had a way of putting me in my place with little and sometimes big ways of reminding me of my need to depend upon him and to attend to the work of my own rebuilding from within."
He added, "I would say, though, that with the latest episode of my life God has outdone himself" -- a reference to his Aug. 25 arrest for driving under the influence in San Diego.
After dinner at the home of some friends, he was driving his mother to her home near the campus of San Diego State University, where police had set up a DUI checkpoint.
He told the congregation that at the time he hoped something good would come of it, and, indeed, he said, something good has: "the outpouring of love and support and promises of prayers."
Such a response has made it clear that "most people have an instinctive sense of compassion and are naturally inclined to reach out to anyone who is hurting and in need of being bolstered by the moral support that only the solidarity of friendship can offer," he said.
That's a building block, he said, one of the building blocks that St. Francis used in rebuilding God's house, "as his house manifests itself in the different communities to which we belong."
Archbishop Cordileone began the homily saying, "Francis, rebuild my house," a reference to Christ's instruction to St. Francis as he prayed in the dilapidated San Damiano, a church with a monastery near Assisi. St. Francis did repair it, using the original foundation, but Christ's words had a much deeper spiritual significance, said the archbishop.
St. Francis' time was one of spiritual unrest, not unlike this time, and St. Francis' response "was as timeless as it was simple -- holiness."
The story and message is as applicable to our time as they were to St. Francis' as well as to any number of other periods in the history of the church, said Archbishop Cordileone.
"Of course, as our father Francis teaches us, the work of rebuilding must necessarily begin within each one of us, clergy, consecrated religious, lay faithful," he said.
He mentioned his grandfather, a fisherman who had settled in San Francisco to start a new and better life.
"If someone had told him that in 100 years time his grandson would become the archbishop of this place, I'm sure he would have thought that they were out of their minds. Apparently, there are people who think that today," he said to laughter.
He spoke, too, of Pope Benedict, who called for a Year of Faith, during which time -- again, a time of spiritual unrest -- when Catholics will take a fresh look at Vatican II. "It is a summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, our one savior of the world," said Archbishop Cordileone.
At a reception that followed, Jeff Bialik, executive director of Catholic Charities in San Francisco, said he thought that building a homily on St. Francis was an ideal tone and start for the archbishop.
He added, "It was a terrific introduction for those of us in the archdiocese who don't know him too well. He showed us a spiritual side, a pastoral side, a sense of humor, a sense of family and his roots in the city of St. Francis."
Father George E. Mockel, the vicar general and moderator of the curia in the Oakland Diocese, asked if the archbishop was affected by his critics in the marriage debate, said he was not.
"This is a man of principle and integrity, and he doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk," he told Catholic San Francisco, the archdiocesan newspaper.

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Early morning commuters found the body of a 25-year-old man on a London bus after it lay forgotten overnight at a bus depot, an inquest showed on Friday.
Pawel Modzelewski, who coroners said died of an overdose, was found cold and pale slumped in his seat holding a syringe and a small wrap of what appeared to be heroin, by a passenger in the British capital in January.
Closed circuit television footage and a court hearing revealed that the driver had noticed the unconscious man on the top level of his double-decker bus and attempted to wake him, but later forgot about the man when he clocked off duty.
"He forgot to tell anyone about the man,...the cleaners didn't clean the bus and on finishing his duty, the driver went home," Paul Bailey, accident prevention manager for London Central Bus Company, told Britain's Telegraph newspaper.
Andrew Harris, a coroner at Southwark Coroner's Court, where the inquest was heard, told the paper that, although the cause of death was an overdose, there had been "missed opportunities" to save the Polish man's life.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Let the record show Omar Vizquel's coaching career began because of a poker game.
"I saw (Angels minor-league hitting coordinator) Paul Sorrento at a party in Seattle," Vizquel, the Angels' new roving infield instructor, said Thursday.
"Edgar Martinez was putting together a poker game. I saw him there, started talking to him a little bit about what he's doing. He told me he's working for the Angels. They were talking about looking for an infielder guy. I said, `Well, I must be the guy.'
"So I got in touch with (assistant Angels GM) Scott Servais. Scott gave (general manager) Jerry Dipoto a call. I also played with Jerry in Cleveland. He knows me from those years. The communication was really quick. We put it together and I was here two days later."
The 45-year-old shortstop retired last year as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays after playing his 24th major-league season. Although he's long held the notion of becoming a major-league manager, a part of Vizquel doesn't seem ready to let go of his storied playing career.
Navigating the Angels' clubhouse, Vizquel wears his hat backward like a young Ken Griffey Jr.; the two were rookies on the 1989 Seattle Mariners. When he isn't navigating the clubhouse, Vizquel can be found exercising as if he's gearing up for a 25th season.
"I still go through my program," he said. "Not as intense as it was before but I want to keep in shape."
When Angels manager Mike Scioscia made the transition from player to coach in the 1990s, he encountered a number of challenges. The hardest, he said, was evaluating raw prospects after being in the majors for so long. "I remember saying, `God, can anybody play?"'
Vizquel doesn't think that will be a problem for him. And in-game strategy should be the least of his worries.
Only 34 players had more sacrifice hits in their career than Vizquel, who was a rare small-ball artist during the game's most prolific home run era. He played more defensive games at shortstop than anyone, and his .985 fielding percentage is second all-time.
"Omar has a great idea of what is important to an infielder playing at a certain level," Scioscia said, "and he's able to instill a lot of confidence in those kids as he talks to them and works with them."
Scioscia holds top pitchers
Get ready for a steady dose of Billy Buckner, A.J. Schugel and Brad Mills this weekend.
Scioscia didn't single out those starters by name, but the Angels manager did rule out his projected five starters from pitching in games for at least another week. The Angels open Cactus League play with split-squad games Saturday against the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants.
"The guys that we're looking at, especially Weave (Jered Weaver), he doesn't need to get started until somewhere around the first" of March, Scioscia said. "It would just be too long for him. He wouldn't need it."
The same principle applies to C.J. Wilson, Tommy Hanson, Jason Vargas and Joe Blanton.
"There are guys who are going to pitch who have a chance to be in our rotation," Scioscia said, "but the extra turn or two isn't going to make that much a difference because if it comes down to the end (of spring training) and they're going to flip to the 'pen or somewhere else, they'll be ready to go. We don't want those guys firing up too early."
On March 1, the Angels are scheduled to play a split-squad game against the Dodgers at Tempe Diablo Stadium. By then, the Dodgers' projected starters (including Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke) will have pitched at least one inning.
The Angels will have played seven games by then; who logs innings on the mound are anyone's guess. Buckner, Schugel, Mills, Barry Enright, Garrett Richards and Jerome Williams are the starters in camp who wouldn't be in the Angels rotation if the season started today.
It's a downer for fans coming to Tempe this weekend to see the Angels best pitchers, but an understandable position for Scioscia. Spring games don't usually begin this early - the World Baseball Classic moved the schedule up about a week - and overuse becomes one of each team's primary concerns.
Also ...
Catcher Eliezer Alfonzo, a non-roster invitee to Dodgers camp on a minor-league contract, still hasn't reported to camp. It was revealed that he is home in Venezuela with dengue virus and won't be allowed to travel to the U.S. for five to seven days. He'll report to the Dodgers' minor-league camp when he arrives; Matt Wallach has been invited to major-league camp in the meantime. … Clayton Kershaw will oppose Dylan Axelrod when the Dodgers open Cactus League play against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. … The Italian World Baseball Classic team arrived at Camelback Ranch today and took over the visiting clubhouse on the Dodgers' side.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Luxury Mountain cabin completely remodeled minutes from East Glacier and Essex.
Location Halfway between East Glacier to Essex on the southern tip of Glacier Park.
Accommodations: 1 Bed, Loft and 1 bath. Sleeps 6.
Our mountain cabin has been completely remodeled- new beds, furniture, appliances, cabinets, flooring, bathroom, TV, BBQ, and deck furniture.
The cabin is located 18 minutes West of East Glacier and 10 minutes East of Essex. Property is 1/2 mile off of U.S. #2. The Southern border of the lot is the Great Bear Wilderness. With a view of Glacier Park out the front window.
The cabin is very private with a creek running thru the back and Deer, Elk, and Moose often visible from the back deck. Although Private, the cabin has all the comforts: Satellite TV and cell service. The Snow Slip Restaurant is only 2 miles away with Wi-Fi, excellent food and ale. Grocery, Golfing, Shopping, Amtrak and Glacier Park Entrance are only 15 miles away at East Glacier. Or you can travel 10 miles West and visit the historic Issak Walton Inn. If you are a horse person you have access to a barn and corrals within walking distance of the cabin, or we can set you up with our neighbor down the road who is a licensed wilderness Guide for Hunting, Fishing, Riding or Pack Trips.
During the winter months, the road is kept plowed with 100 yards of the cabin so it becomes a great retreat for skiers and snowmobilers. With private runs behind the cabin and Mt. Sheels, Elk Mt. and Snow Slip Mt. right out the front window.
This is a very exclusive, private cabin, one of a kind with all Glacier Park has to offer, within minutes of the front porch.
Keywords: Luxury Mountain Cabin Completely Remodeled. Minutes from East Glacier and Essex.
Robert Winkowitsch was born and raised in Montana. He and his wife Sahm and twin boys Jed and Kenny, enjoy all that the mountains have to offer. Although Robert is carpenter by trade, he is also an avid: Pilot, Guide, Hunter, snowmobiler and snowboarder, who has hiked, hunted, and explored the area for 35 years. We would love to share our experiences with you.
My husband, daughter, and I stayed in the cabin for three nights. This is the most beautiful cabin I've ever seen! The cabin and everything in it looks brand new and is soooo clean. The directions were perfect and the hosts, Sahm and Robert, couldn't have been nicer and more helpful with the many questions I had before the trip.
I was hoping to see wildlife while we stayed at the cabin and I wasn't disappointed - a deer in the front yard one evening, a moose wandering across the backyard one morning, and a young grizzly bear on the side of Hwy. 2 when we were driving back from the park!
I highly recommend this cabin!!
This cabin was absolutely amazing! Secluded, but close enough to drive to experience all of the beauty of Glacier National Park. The second morning there a bear ran past the deck and we watched it play in the wild flowers. Thanks Sahm and Robert for sharing your beautiful cabin!
Great cabin, quiet, clean. Everything we needed for a great week.
Highly recommend this cabin. It's a drive to get to hiking trails but worth it.
You will love this cabin unless you don't love the following: Warm and friendly people, a cabin that is an architectural masterpiece and proximity to the most beautiful county in the continental U.S. For you city dwellers who don't like to get wet or dirty, there are endless no-blisters tourist treasures from Glacier National Park to a few fine dining opportunities. You can see amazing things without ever leaving pagement. For those of us who came here for the best of what Montana truly has to offer, you are within walking distance of National Park backcountry trails. the Great Bear Wilderness and the Wild and Scenic Middle Fork of the Flathead River. The owners, Gary and Theresa are unforgettable folks who obviously live here because this is where they want to be. Spend some time with them here and they may infect you with their warmth and their enthusiasm for this last best place.
This cabin's spectacular nature is only matched by the surrounding beauty of the mountains. My wife and I stayed here with our two daughters recently, and we were completely sad to have to say goodbye and head back home. The cabin is supremely private, well-constructed and has every comfort any person could ask for in a home away from home.
The location is perfectly situated between East and West Glacier, which makes day trips into either region an absolute breeze. There are plenty of nearby quaint shops to pick up snacks or catch a quick bite to eat. The sound of the stream running behind the cabin is so relaxing, and the views are absolutely amazing.
Sahm and Robert were fantastic, and their recommendations were spot on. THANK YOU!
We had so many great adventures each day with hiking, horseback riding, visiting the lodges and so on, but we always were excited to get back to the cabin and enjoy some quality family time in the warmth of the fire and the rustic cabin setting. The cabin itself is much larger than what a person may think by looking at the pictures. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with the elbow room.
We are already looking at our next Glacier vacation, and we will be sure to stay here again in the near future.
Thanks again Sahm and Robert!!!!
This cabin in the woods, just a few miles west of the continental divide, was the perfect base camp location to explore Glacier. The home accommodated our family of four very well and lived larger than it appeared in photographs. Our daughters shared the large loft that overlooks the forest. This is a very private home that is secluded. The cabin offered most everything we needed, the large porch host a nice propane grill & dining table. Behind that was a fire pit and small stream at the rear of the property. The W&D was great, however, it was fun for the kids to dry our clothes on the provided clothes lines. It was good for our daughters to be without internet and cell service. We spent several late afternoons playing cards and working puzzles under the shadow of the surrounding mountains - perfect! Sahm and Robert, the owners, were responsive to our questions and helpful in their answers. We are strong supporters of VRBO; we rent out our own emerald coast beach home via VRBO 565955. We love going to the mountains every summer to cool off and explore. When we do, we always use VRBO and rent directly from owners whenever possible for the best service and experience. This years experience was no different - thank you Sahm and Robert for making your Montana home available to us in 2014.

Crop And Save
The Christmas Star (1986)
Disney is releasing this Yuletide classic Sept. 7, 2004.
One of the truly great Christmas films. Ed Asner, Fred Gwynne, Rene Auberjenois, and writer/ director Alan Shapiro and his talented crew make this Dickens-esque family perennial a must-see. If you like "A Christmas Carol", "Miracle on 34th St.", you will also love "The Christmas Star". Originally made for Disney's Sunday Night Movie, it has run for years on X- Mas but, unfortunately, was never released on video -- until now.
Do yourself a favor and get a copy!
Tiger Town (1983)
"Tiger Town" is 75 minutes of unpretentious, lovingly rendered magic. Written and directed by 25-year-old Alan Shapiro, "Tiger Town" tells the story of a 12-year-old Detroit Tigers fan, and a veteran ballplayer -- patterned after Al Kaline -- who leads his team to a pennant after a midseason slump.
The boy, played by Justin Henry, believes that he can will his idol into performing well through fierce concentration in the stands. He and the seasoned slugger, played by Roy Scheider, meet in only one brief scene. They have a connection, but it would ruin it to label it. You could call it a film about baseball and faith, but that sounds corny and this film isn't.
Much of the production focuses on baseball action, and it's elegantly and excitingly executed with a fervent fan's eye for intriguing detail. Crisp photography, adroit sound modulation, deft editing and a bright, economical score all add to the impact of this charismatic mood piece. The film was shot at Tiger Stadium, and at other Detroit locations, which are evocatively conveyed.
Henry's low-key performance in this film is winsome without being protoypically Disneyesque. As the ballplayer with the blazing bat, Scheider doesn't have many lines, but the range of emotions registered on his face during his triumphs and slumps are priceless. Former Tigers manager and baseball legend Sparky Anderson, Hall of Fame broadcaster Ernie Harwell, and ex-Supreme Mary Wilson make cameo appearances and enhance the authentic flavor of the film.
But it's Shapiro's success, right down to the tension he builds as Henry almost misses the final game. Packed with inventiveness, vitality and economy, "Tiger Town" strikes home. Shapiro's brought of a gem of a film.
The Crush (1993)
Seriously fun entertainment!
Alternating between gothic horror and hilarious camp, "The Crush" is one of the great cult films. Writer/Director Alan Shapiro's young discovery, Alicia Silverstone, delivers her greatest role to date -- no kidding. This is pure fun entertainment, I highly recommend renting it. I will see anything writer/director Alan Shapiro makes.
Flipper (1996)
A really well made film.
Yes, it's "Flipper". But writer/director Alan Shapiro has put together a gem of a version. Spectacular above and underwater photography from "Jaws" veteran Bill Butler and haunting music by Joel McNeely and Crosby, Stills & Nash make this truly memorable family entertainment. Shapiro, whose last film was improbably "The Crush", shows himself once again to be an extremely talented -- and versatile -- filmmaker. Rent it!

Dori is a silly female Boxer blend, about 2 years old. She was found as a stray, but since no one claimed her she must now find a new family to love. It's possible she's had at least one litter of pups before she became a stray, but she is spayed now.
Dori has typical Boxer energy so someone familiar with this breed would be ideal for her. Dori is also microchipped and up to date on all her vaccinations. She currently resides at Friends for Life Animal Rescue's adoption center, 143 W. Vaughn Ave. in Gilbert.
If Dori is still waiting for a home come this Saturday, she'll join lots of other dogs available for adoption at Friends for Life's BARKtoberfest from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 12 at the Gilbert Civic Center, 50 E. Civic Center Drive.
For more information on Dori, visit www.azfriends.org or call (480) 497-8296.

Sobieski vodka is named for Poland's King Jan Sobieski III. Their marketing prides itself on the tradition of Polish vodka production--including rye as a base, a lack of glitz, and the acknowledgment that multiple distillations are not necessarily making the product better (this is true, by the way). This vodka is made with Polish Dankowski Rye grain with water from the Oligocene springs.
