Lifetime Achievement
Honorable Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza
"I had barely graduated from high school. People believed in me, and they opened doors for me, and I was able to turn my life around." – Jorge Elorza, Mayor City of Providence
The son of Guatemalan immigrants, Elorza was born and raised in Providence. After attending the Community College of Rhode Island, he was accepted into the Talent Development Program at the University of Rhode Island and graduated at the top of his accounting class in 1998.
He then worked as an auditor for PricewaterhouseCoopers on Wall Street before being called back to Providence by the news that one of his best childhood friends had been murdered. "It was at that moment that I decided to return home and dedicate my life to public service," said Elorza.
A law degree from Harvard ignited his passion to correct injustices in the local communities through justice. As an attorney for Rhode Island Legal Services, he litigated race discrimination cases and represented both private and public housing tenants in Rhode Island Courts. In 2005, he joined the Roger Williams University faculty where he specialized in housing laws and co-founded the school's Latino Policy Institute. In 2010, he was appointed to the Providence Housing Court.
On January 5, 2015, Elorza was sworn in as mayor of Providence and since taking office has continued to bring his passion for public service to scale through his work on issues such as housing, equity and education.

Shawn Antoine II, '18
Majors: Economics and Public Relations, and Minor: Africana Studies
Shawn Antoine II is honored for the initiative, talents and passion he used to create his first documentary-style film, The Movement: Black Lives Matter. In this crisp film, Antoine invited some of the protesters in New York City to explain the movement in order to help others understand police-criminal justice system-community tensions in the United States. Shared with his professors, fellow students and now more than 15,000 YouTube viewers, the film helps everyone listen to and understand the voices propelling this critical 21st Century Civil Rights movement. But this film just gives a glimpse of Antoine's achievements. Antoine is also a Rhody Ram defensive back on the football field, an elected representative on URI's Student Senate, and vice president of URI's Student Athletic Advisory Council. Recently, he completed working on Days in Delhi, his documentary on poverty in India.

Wales manager Chris Coleman says Real Madrid 's new big-money signing Gareth Bale is "nowhere near ready" to play 90 minutes. Bale played 32 minutes as Coleman's Dragons slumped to the foot of the World Cup qualifying Group A table with a 3-0 defeat to Serbia in Cardiff. Goals from Filip Djordjevic, Aleksandar Kolarov and Lazar Markovic put the game beyond Wales, who never looked like avenging the 6-1 mauling they suffered at the hands of the same opponents in Novi Sad a year ago. Bale, a pre-match doubt due to a groin problem, appeared just before the hour to get his first action since becoming the world's most expensive player when he joined Real from Tottenham earlier this month, and almost grabbed a goal with a superb swerving, dipping free-kick. The 24-year-old will now return to Spain ahead of his expected club debut against Villarreal on Saturday, but Coleman believes his star man is still some way short of fitness. He said: "If he starts Saturday, he will not finish the game. I would be amazed if he does. "We have looked at him in these 10 days and he is nowhere near ready for 90 minutes even if Spanish football is slower. "He may start, but he won't finish the game. "He may get 45 minutes, I don't know, but he will feel better in himself after 30 minutes here. "But he has only had four training sessions in two months which is dangerous." He added: "He played 30 minutes but after 15 minutes he looked tired - but he has only had four training sessions, so you will not get what you normally get. "But he gave us a lift, the fans were excited and it gave us a spur, although the game was done and dusted. "We needed to be in the game when he came on. It was lost by then, but it was nice for the Welsh supporters to see him." Bale himself tweeted after the game: "Great to finally get back to playing tonight, shame about the result though. Can't wait to get to Madrid tomorrow #halamadrid" The defeat to Serbia increased the pressure on Coleman, who has agreed a two-year contract extension with the Football Association of Wales, but the former Fulham boss insists he is the right man to lead the Dragons despite them suffering six defeats from eight qualifiers. He said: "I have every intention of leading this side into the next qualification campaign. "We have two wins out of eight, which is not good but I am still excited about the group we could have available. "The next campaign will be a better one." He added: "The contract has been agreed, although I have not signed it, but if I thought I could not affect this group of players I would not waste my country's time. "We can do something special, with a fresh run at it."

EAW ordered for RV park wall
In a close vote Tuesday, the Detroit Lakes City Council decided that a 290-foot-long concrete wall -- ranging in height from 8 feet to 11 feet, and eliminating a steep bluff along the Pelican River -- does have the potential for "significant environmental impact" and actually is a "substantial change" in the River Hills RV Park project.
The council voted 4-3 Tuesday to require developer Patrick Onstad to go through the environmental assessment worksheet process for that portion of his 130-unit project.
Voting to require the EAW were aldermen Bruce Imholte, who made the motion, James Hannon, Jim Anderson and Leonard Heltemes.
Voting against were aldermen Dave Aune, Walt Tollefson and G.L. Tucker.
Vice Mayor Mat Brenk did not vote. He was filling in for Mayor Larry Buboltz, who is recovering from heart surgery. Alderman Ron Zeman was unable to attend the meeting.
Onstad said the retaining wall, partially built and then put on hold pending a city building permit, is needed to control runoff from six RV sites that will overlook the Pelican River.
But others at the meeting said the six sites are merely needed to improve finances for the RV park, and could easily be moved elsewhere or not built at all, eliminating the need for the retaining wall.
The city should not put profits for one developer above the public good, Imholte said in an impassioned and angry speech prior to the vote.
"We're talking about a football (field) length wall, 8 feet high... how you can not admit it's a significant change to the EAW is beyond my comprehension," he said. "In six years on the council, I've sat and argued that planned development and concern for the environment are not mutually exclusive -- but there has not been one vote that has given the benefit of the doubt to the environment and not to the developer... it's very frustrating."
Prior to the vote, Heltemes argued for an EAW.
"To pass this, to address the issues that have been raised, is the only way to go," he said. "The EAW process is the way these things get resolved."
Dennis Kral, president of the Pelican River Watershed District, accused the RV park developers of essentially sneaking the retaining wall into the plans after the project had already gone through the EAW and initial platting process.
"The (city council) people sitting in this room were as equally surprised by this wall as we were," he said.
The wall is deceptive in that it was never brought up in planning meetings and is not listed on map legends, he said, although an unmarked solid line appears on the maps, somewhat like the dotted black line used to denote a silt fence.
"This is pretty significant," he said. "If this had been properly labeled and discussed there'd be no need for a (revised) EAW. This has come up well after the agencies reviewed the plans."
Detroit Lakes attorney Carl Malmstrom, who represents the developer, argued that an amended EAW process was not needed. The development has already been scaled back from 175 units, with 16 overlooking the river, he said, adding that it's not unusual for stormwater, grading and other plans not to be available when the EAW is being done.
"Clearly it could have been better labeled on the plans, but nevertheless it is our contention that the plans for the wall were there (originally)," he said.
"Would the city require an EAW for a single home? That's the context we should put this in," Malmstrom added, since fill for the retaining wall amounts to about 1,200 cubic yards, or about the same as would be excavated in the construction of two homes.
Requiring an EAW would be a "rather meaningless exercise" in this instance, he said.
Patrick Kenney, attorney for Lakeview Township, noted that the 16 units originally proposed for along the river were further back than the six currently proposed, and that the city upped the number of sites from about 100 to 130 after the EAW was completed last year.
He said the DNR questioned whether enough information was released by the developer at the time of the original EAW.
The city's shoreland ordinance does not allow clearing of vegetation on steep slopes, and the developer promised not to do any such clearing when questioned during the EAW process, Kenney said.
"Well, there has been intensive vegetation clearing on a steep slope" to build the wall, he said. "Everyone took them at their word that they wouldn't be doing this -- you can see that they did," Kenney added.
The shoreland ordinance calls for preserving natural shoreland beauty, he continued.
"A 300-foot wall within 50 feet of the river -- does that preserve shoreland aesthetics?" Kenney asked.
The council had concerns about the environmental impact of a walking path originally proposed for the general area of the wall, so it stands to reason an EAW is needed to look at the wall's impact, he added.
The retaining wall and six units planned for atop the wall clearly violate the city shoreland ordinance, said Henry VanOffelen, a Detroit Lakes-based scientist with the Center for Environmental Advocacy.
In a letter to the council, he quoted the city ordinance: "Each lot in a proposed subdivision must be suitable in its natural state for the proposed use with minimal alteration."
If the six lots qualified, the big retaining wall would not be necessary, he said.
Add in the ordinance's restrictions governing construction on steep slopes, VanOffelen wrote, and "clearly the ordinance prohibits this wall and probably many of the current activities near it."
Approving the wall will set a bad precedent, he said, adding: "If this wall is justified for stormwater purposes, what is going to stop others with unsuitable shoreland from proposing large retaining walls to get closer to the water?"
VanOffelen called on the council to follow an option presented by city staff: "Remove the wall, restore the bank and move (the six) units to an alternate location."

I'm a 2009 Boston University journalism graduate who grew up in and returned post-college to Buffalo, NY. While moving from one hockey town to another -- and back again -- I slowly fell in love with the game; the Buffalo Sabres will always be "my team" (hometown team and all, ya know?), but my time in Boston left me with a soft spot for the Bruins as well. My iPod and notebook never leave my purse, and I'm not exactly sure what I'd be doing with my life if I hadn't chosen writing.

The Best Defense With Zombies Is A Strong Offense!
At least according to these guys it is anyway …….
A hardware store in Nebraska is (pardon the pun) slashing prices on everything you need to take care of any Zombie attacks that may come about due to Halloween, people drinking worchestire sauce or the Mayan calendar running out!
Is this a recurring problem in nebraska?? The deals abound on chain saws, nail guns and deodorizers to cover up that "dead guy" smell.
One blurb in the pre-Halloween campaign reccomends chain saws
"for clearing away hedges blocking your view of oncoming zombies." Nail guns are for "zombie intimidation."
I hear the chain saws are also really good for clearing away those pesky Zombie arms and legs!

Rattled David Cameron met the bosses of Britain's largest food bank charity after being blasted by the clergy for failing to tackle the country's hunger crisis.
The talks with the Trussell Trust will be viewed as a climbdown by the Government at a time when it is under growing pressure to act on food poverty.
The PM met representatives from the Trust in No 10 on Thursday for "frank and open" talks about his welfare policies.
It came the day the Daily Mirror published a letter from 27 Church of England bishops and 15 other faith group leaders denouncing the Government's brutal welfare reforms and saying Mr Cameron had a "moral" to act.
Until now the Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has refused to meet the Trussell Trust. Mr Cameron was bounced into the meeting after being challenged at Prime Minster's questions in January by Labour MP Stephen Timms to talk to the Trust.
A spokeswoman for the Trussell Trust said it was pleased to have the chance to raise their concerns with the PM.
She said it was a "frank, open and constructive conversation" with him about the problems that Trussell Trust food banks and our clients are facing.
"The Prime Minister listened to our stories of individuals who have been helped by food banks, and we had a good discussion about how Trussell Trust food banks work, what our data shows and what we believe to be the main causes of increased food bank use. The conversation was practical and solution-focused," the spokeswoman said.
"We are very grateful to David Cameron for his time and hope that this will open the way to further engagement with Government, enabling us to speak up about the problem of food poverty in this country to those who have the power to bring about change."
A Downing Street source said: "It was a private meeting that had been in the diary for sometime. It was very constructive."

I just received a Singer machine motor from another forum member. Or I should perhaps say, I received what was left of a Singer machine motor.
It arrived in a small cardboard box that was wadded up, mutilated, holed and taped up, and crushed.
The cast iron motor mount attached to the motor was broken, sheared off where it transitions from the motor to the pilar. The brush caps, both of them, are shattered. The rest of the motor looks to have survived but without the brush caps is dead on arrival.
The sender packed it in bubble wrap and that should have been sufficient. But with the USPS closing down many of the sorting stations it's my theory those that are still open are so overworked that they no longer care about what they are doing and simply throw the things around as fast as they can to get them moved along.
I don't know what to do about this, we didn't put insurance on it, and you know the management at the USPS will claim it wasn't packaged good enough. Pass the buck, blame anybody, never accept the responsibility.
Basically I posted this to let everyone know that when you ship something you need to over pack it.
When you think you have it packaged good enough, put two more layers on it.
Maybe even three.
I think this is going to be a really crappy week.

SPRINGFIELD. (AP) — Police say an armored truck guard was unloading a bag of money outside a Springfield bank Thursday when a man in a hooded sweatshirt walked up and demanded the cash. The Guard reportedly responded by pulling his handgun. The suspect ran off and was unable to be located.

It is not rooted and boot loader is locked.
Problem is the phone won't charge when it is switched off and I guess that is not good because none of my previous Sony/Ericsson phones behaved like that.
I have read somewhere that this behavior is specific for some versions of CWM, but obviously that is not the issue with my phone.
Also I have found that problem could be related with chargemod file in phone/system/bin, which should be changed, so if someone can send me that file I can try to solve it that way.
Anyone else with xperia T experiencing this issue?
Any other idea how it can be solved (I have already tried factory reset)?

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Jorge Cantu drove in three runs Friday and Miami pounded out 14 hits in running over Philadelphia 7-2.
The Marlins won their third straight and moved into a second-place tie with Atlanta six games behind the Phillies in the National League East with two games remaining.
Cantu singled in two runs in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
Philadelphia tied it in the bottom of the first on a two-run homer by Ryan Howard, his 44th of the year. Florida then went in front for good in the second on RBI doubles by Chris Coughlan and Cameron Maybin.
Maybin went 4-for-5 to help make a winner out of Rick VandenHurk (3-2), who allowed two runs on five hits in six innings.
Joe Blanton (12-8) suffered the loss after giving up five runs on nine hits in six-plus frames. He has allowed at least five runs in each of his last two starts.
The division-winning Phillies saw their home record slip to 44-35. They have had a better road record (48-33) than they have had in their own stadium.

11:51 am
research study for excellence in journalism examines a personal portrayal of candidates in 50 major news outlets over a ten week period. they found 72% of the coverage has been negative for barack obama and 71% has been negative for mitt romney. back in 2008, 57% of media coverage was negative for john mccain and 31% for barack obama. but the real story is where those narratives come from,
11:52 am
the study shows, jim, that political journalists are not really investigating, but sort of following the narrative laid out by the campaign. surprised? >> not really. there's a limit to what a reporter watching a candidate through six stops a day. do you want them to step back and say-- maybe you do, but their job and people watch and the news says this is what the guy says today. it's up to others to provide perspective and context. >> jon: but the feeling, judy, is that the campaigns then create their own stories and the media just laughs them off. >> and how many times on this show are we going to complain about the lack of investment in both foreign reporting and investigative reporting? it's the most expensive kind of reporting to do and fewer and fewer news outlets are doing it and it's a terrible shame, and this is what you get. >> jon: so will anything
11:53 am
change? >> no, and i like the word that the report used about reporters on the campaign trail, calling them mega phones. and because that is what happens. i always say if you want to cover the white house, don't go to the white house because you're not going to get anything, but what's fed to you. >> jon: let me repeat a story on your show, we did in the green room, the great cbs correspondent for many years now at harvard told he me a story when the great edward r muhro visited two nazi death camps, he went back to his room and thought two days before he went on the air. those days are gone. nobody contemplates or assimilates anything, they go right on the air. the prospects for excellence in journalism, i think that's a contradiction. >> and there are other outfits, you have franklin center for public integrity and other nonprofits that are doing this and that's sort of

Former Edge hockey player to play post-season with Rebels
Monday, Mar 18, 2013 12:58 pm
Silver linings are tough to find, but a former Edge Mountaineer found out that they sometimes appear in the most unexpected places.
Mathew Dumba liked his chances heading into his second World Junior national team selection camp. He was only 17 when he was first invited to the 2011 and was more confident coming into camp as an 18 year old.
�I knew what to expect,� Dumba said. �It wasn�t all new to me. Being the youngest guy at camp as a 17 yea old was tough. You were looking up to guys you�ve played against or heard of and they�re all so talented and skilled. I wanted to play without the nerves that I had at the first one.
�I thought this year�s camp was good. I had a rough first game, but I felt like I played well. I thought I did what I was told and I worked hard. It was just an unfortunate scenario, I guess.�
When the final cuts came down at the end of the four-day December camp, Dumba was the last player released. While Team Canada travelled to Finland for a pre-competition tune-up and eventually to Ufa, Russia where the World Junior Championships were held, Dumba returned to Red Deer and closed out December with his WHL club, the Red Deer Rebels.
The NHL lockout ended Jan. 6 and Dumba was invited to the Minnesota Wilds, the team that drafted him seventh overall in last June�s entry draft, abbreviated training camp. While he wasn�t expecting to be invited to the camp, what came after the camp was even more surprising, Dumba said.
Dumba was named to the team�s roster for its season opener Jan. 19.
�It was pretty amazing,� Dumba said of the call from Minnesota. �It was an awesome feeling knowing that they believe me in. (Wild general manager) Fletcher and Coach (Mike) Yeo told that I was just coming for the camp, so I only packed for four days. I ended up staying for two-and-a-half weeks. It was awesome for me.
�I knew if I worked hard and showed them what I�d learned and how I�ve matured as a player and that I can play at that level there was a slight, slight chance that I could stick around, but I wasn�t expecting it at all.�
While Dumba was a healthy scratch for the four games he spent with the Wild, he used skating in warm ups and his time in the press box to soak up as much of the experience as he could.
�Skating in warm ups, looking across the ice and seeing guys like Jagr, Hejduk and Datsyuk was pretty cool,� he said. �Just being able to watch the games made me feel like part of the team and it was a privilege to be up there.�
Dumba returned to Red Deer after his stint with the Wild and has helped lead the team into the WHL playoffs. The Rebels started the season off with a nine-game losing streak, but have since jumped up the standings and into fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
As of press time, the Rebels had two games left in the regular season, hadn�t lost a game in March and were in position for home-ice advantage in the first round.
Midway through the season, Rebels owner and general manager Brent Sutter took over the head coaching duties after Jesse Wallin was fired and Dumba said the coaching change helped trigger the Rebels� rise.
�He�s awesome at pushing us to our potential and he holds us accountable all the time,� Dumba said. �It�s made a big difference. He�s a great coach and he�s been doing the best of us.�
While the official playoff match ups had yet to be decided at press time, Dumba said the team is preparing to ride the momentum of its turnaround and for the intensity that comes with having home ice advantage in the playoffs.
�It�s just us about bearing down on the details and having fun,� he said. �We�ve been so good in our last 30 games. I think we�ve only lost five or six. It�s pretty amazing when we all buy into the systems and I think the home ice will work in our favour. We know what kind of atmosphere the playoffs hold.
�It�s about staying the course and staying to the processes we�ve held all season.�

Ashton and Demi Know What It Takes to Survive
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were hand-in-hand last night at the Freedom Awards in LA. The issue of modern slavery is one of their philanthropic pet causes, and they both took to Twitter to share about presenting the Modern Abolitionist award. The happy couple first posed for photos on the red carpet, along with other celebrity guests like Carla Gugino and Camilla Belle. Ashton and Demi are on the same page when it comes to their charity work, but he evidently wasn't always so supportive of his significant other's interests.

Industry reaction mixed
By Peter A. Buxbaum, AJOT
The air cargo industry provided a mixed reaction to the first significant changes to air cargo security rules since 1999. The Transportation Security Administration announced its Air Cargo Final Rule in mid-May.
The agency announcement characterized the new security requirements as representing, 'a joint government-industry vision.' However, industry representatives who analyzed the new rule pointed put that requirements for air cargo carriers remained largely the same, while the rule imposes significant new burdens on air forwarding companies.
The TSA recognized that the Air Cargo Final Rule makes permanent some practices already in place and adds others. Major new security measures include extending secure areas of airports to include ramps and cargo facilities and requiring the employees of more than 4,000 freight forwarders to attend enhanced security training courses developed by TSA.
In addition, the regulation will mandate consolidation of some 4,000 private industry known shipper lists into one central database managed by TSA. 'This will allow TSA to have more visibility into the activities of companies shipping on passenger aircraft and permit more in-depth vetting of known shippers,' the agency announcement said. The rule also requires full criminal history background checks of approximately 51,000 off-airport freight forwarder employees.
The TSA estimates that 50,000 tons of air cargo are transported aboard passenger and all-cargo aircraft in the United States each day.
The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) praised the TSA's new air cargo rule for recognizing the unique aspects of on-demand all-cargo carriers. 'By working with NATA to understand better the uniqueness of the on-demand air transportation industry,' NATA President James K. Coyne said, 'the TSA has issued regulations that recognize that a one-size-fits-all standard is not appropriate. Instead, the TSA's new rules follow a risk management philosophy allowing resources to be directed toward those areas with the greatest security risks.'
Coyne also noted that the TSA rule retained the Twelve-Five Standard Security Program (TFSSP) as the appropriate security mechanism for on-demand cargo carriers. The TFSSP is a series of security measures issued by the TSA in 2002. The program requires operators of aircraft over 12,500 pounds 'in scheduled or charter service, carrying passengers or cargo or both' to implement certain security measures such as conducting criminal history records checks on their flight crew members and restricting access to the flight deck.
Coyle also praised the TSA for responding to several requests for clarification that NATA sought in formal comments submitted for the proposed rule. 'The association believed that additional information clearly explaining those regulations that did or did not apply to TFSSP operators would be helpful in avoiding industry confusion,' Coyle said. 'The TSA explained that the new secured areas at airports and the threat assessments are not required for TFSSP operations.'
'No new burden on cargo operators'
The final rule does incorporate mandates for cargo inspection by TFSSP all-cargo carriers. The regulations establish a new security program, the Full All-Cargo program, for all-cargo aircraft weighing more than 45,500 kg. The TSA also implements new security measures for cargo carried on passenger aircraft, expands the secured area at certain airports, and requires threat assessments for certain employees with access to cargo. However, Coyle explained that the regulations are a codification of existing standards and do not pose a new burden on cargo operators.
Air freight forwarding companies have a different perspective on the new regulations, however. Brandon Fried, executive director of the Airforwarders Association, a Washington-base industry group noted that the rule does expand the responsibilities of air forwarders, or Indirect Air Carriers (IACs), as they ar

Before rising last night, MPs adopted the following motion:
"That this House, while recognizing the importance of vigorous debate on subjects of public interest, expresses its profound sadness at the prejudice displayed and the stereotypes employed by Maclean's Magazine to denigrate the Quebec nation, its history and its institutions."
Shame on them.
On second thought, shame on the House leaders for cooking up this motion. And presumably, on the party leaders - for agreeing to have it sail through the Commons.
How do we know that there was this degree of collusion?
Last night, Independent MP Andre Arthur, who interestingly enough represents a Quebec constituency, balked at giving the motion unanimous consent. He then left the House before the vote was taken. And the motion then passed by voice and not by vote, thereby sparing MPs from having to identify themselves in their hour of shame.
Let's be clear.
In an editorial posted online yesterday, Maclean's acknowledges that it did not conduct or consult any inter-provincial comparative studies in concluding that Quebec is "the most corrupt province in Canada." In other words, Maclean's is guilty of practicing shoddy journalism.
Like the rest of us, MPs have the right to free expression under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and that right includes the right to criticize Maclean's in this instance. However, Maclean's has no monopoly on shoddy journalism. Nor, sadly, does it have a monopoly on "prejudice" and "stereotypes."
Yet, in the past five years, the House of Commons has only twice chosen to speak collectively in such circumstances. And both cases involved Quebec or, as it's come to be known in this period, the Québécois nation.
Check that, too: Last night, for the first time ever, MPs referred to the Quebec nation - a term that both Liberals and Conservatives had wisely and carefully avoided using until the Bloc Québécois slipped it into a motion that had been guaranteed clear-sailing late at night through the House of Commons.Report Typo/Error

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Erowid Center, Grass Valley, CA, USA
The information that Erowid provides has opened me not just to the healing that plant medicine can provide, but the importance of a cultures connection to these medicines. I have always believed that our cultures relationship to non-ordinary states of consciousness is a very clear indicator of their state of health.
I feel reassured when organizations like this can provide honest and reliable sources of information with good intention. Permit me to be candid here but I do not believe that it would have been possible for me to develop a positive relationships with psychoactives if not for Erowid and the information archived there. I have heard the same feedback from a diversity of others (even those who choose not to use psychoactive drugs).
Apart from raw information Erowid also provides a hub for discussion of philosophy, art and plays an important role in the preservation of the history of the 'movement', through the archival of research articles, journals, literature, personal experience reports, photographs, ect... The loss of a resource so rich would be devastating, and I sometimes worry that the very notion is feasible with our current political/environment climate. I would like to nominate Erowid for the 2012 Health Award so that it may be further legitimized and given the credit it deserves for contributing to the health and sanity of our culture.
Thank you,
Tyler Doucette

The earliest pre-
Jackassstunt you'll find Johnny Knoxville performing online is his experiment with self-defence weapons. A tentative group watches as Knoxville is doused in the face with pepper spray and shot with a stun gun — all at point-blank range. For his grand finale, Knoxville drives out to the middle of a desert and shoots himself in the abdomen with a Smith & Wesson to try his luck with a bulletproof vest.
That 1998 stunt was for the counter-culture skateboard magazine
Big Brother, and marked the beginning of a modest, but profitable, revolution of trouble-making. Now, after the success of an MTV show, the
Jackassmovie series has a combined franchise box office total of US$355-million, including this past October's
Jackass 3D. But there's more cringe-inducing pain where that came from.
To mark April Fool's Day on Friday, the Web-based TV service joost.com is releasing
Jackass 3.5, which features 85 minutes of unseen footage that proves Knoxville's compatriots still have plenty of ways to injure themselves. (It also features interviews with cast members that detail the execution of the more brutal stunts.)
The opening scene features the most daring of the group, Steve-O, in his customary leopard thong as a snapping turtle bites into his behind. Steve-O (real name Stephen Gilchrist Glover, who was arrested in Calgary this past week due to charges stemming from an outstanding assault warrant) was recruited to
Big Brothereditor Jeff Tremaine, who co-created, and eventually directed, the TV and movie series.
The original show debuted in 2000, but, despite its immense popularity, was shut down just two years later. U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman initially denounced
Jackass, placing intense political pressure on MTV to tone it down. "I felt that we couldn't do a watered-down version of the show, so I quit," said Knoxville in an interview with Maxim magazine at the time.
But while Jackass's lewd, reckless and just-plain-dumb moments may have seemed pointless at the time, they also encouraged a healthy bout of counter-culture entertainment that can be seen in such projects as Sacha Baron Cohen's
Bruno, and the many avant-garde projects of director Spike Jonze, one of
Jackass's co-creators. That Knoxville and the
Jackasscast refused to tone down their style despite guaranteed millions from MTV is a testament to how pure this movement was. The show's cancellation made
Jackassseem even more dangerous than it initially was.
When MTV Films was formed, the studio wanted to revive the controversial series. So they slapped on an R rating and released
Jackass: The Movie. Since then, Knoxville and Co. have continued to come up with innovative ways of filming their stunts. In 3.5, Jonze and Tremaine talk about the use of 3-D and Phantom cameras (which capture super slow-motion at 1,000 frames per second) to emphasize the action.
No one is spared in
3.5: children, parents, grandparents are all at one point confronted with a stunt. But above all, the cast represents the possibility of creating a career out of doing what you love — even if what you love is terribly, painfully stupid.
Jackass 3.5 is available through Paramount Pictures on April 1 at joost.com.

Assembly Budget Subcommittee TestimonyPrepared remarks of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson before the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education regarding Proposition 98 on February 25, 2014 at the State Capitol in Sacramento.
Good morning and thank you, Assembly Member Muratsuchi (chair) and Assembly Member Chavez (vice chair).
It is a pleasure to speak with you this morning. As I said when Governor Brown released his proposal last month, this budget builds upon California's recommitment to ensuring that every child graduates ready for careers and college.
It is not only the additional funding that I believe will strengthen this vital work, but it is the entirely new approach to the way we fund our schools: the Local Control Funding Formula.
I cannot emphasize this enough: the best decisions about how to spend education dollars are made by teachers, administrators, and parents—they are made by the school communities themselves.
That is why I am pleased by the additional $4.5 billion in Proposition 98 funding for the Local Control Funding Formula. It represents more than a quarter of the remaining gap in full LCFF funding for school districts. It fully funds county offices of education for the implementation of the new formula.
A key aspect of the budget proposal is the $5.5 billion that will allow districts to finally face starting a school year in 2014-15 with deferrals repaid.
There could be no better time as schools continue the challenging—but very necessary—work of implementing LCFF, LCAP, and Common Core State Standards.
As you know, last year saw a welcome $1.25 billion block grant for schools to use to implement the Common Core State Standards—a smart choice for preparing our children for college and careers, and one that benefits from professional development, improved technology, and new curriculum materials.
This will be important this spring, as schools launch a 12-week field test of the new Smarter Balanced assessments. As the sponsor of last year's Assembly Bill 484, I can tell you that the point of this field test is to "test the test" before we test the students—to know how well individual items are designed and to see what schools further need in terms of training or technological capacity.
We have an opportunity—a one-year window—to be fully prepared for the new system going operational in March 2015. That is why I firmly believe that additional dollars realized in the May Revise should go toward a significant second block grant for implementation of the new standards.
What good is this learning opportunity if we don't provide schools the resources to act on what they learn in the field tests?
I am also hopeful that this year's budget will ultimately begin replacing some of what has been cut from our early education programs—some billion dollars and 165,000 early learning slots over the past few years.
And beyond simply replacing what has been lost, I want to see California maintain its leadership in early education by strengthening the system overall. Universal transitional kindergarten—opening the door to all 4-year-olds in California—will be a big part of these conversations over the next few months.
Multiple studies have borne out in multiple ways the simple truth that investing in early education is a smart choice for our society and our economy. Strong early education opportunities not only boost future academic success, but these young learners are also less likely to commit crimes or to be unemployed.
Let me address one further point, now on school facilities. I am glad to announce that I am co-sponsoring Assembly Member Buchanan's Assembly Bill 2235 to put a school facilities bond on the ballot this November. I look forward to working with the author and the administration to determine the right level of funding.
It has been nearly eight years since our last school bond, and our school facilities program has been on life support over the last few years. But consider that almost a third of our school buildings are at least 50 years old. One in 10 is at least 70 years old. A full 70 percent are at least 25 years old. And we have about 75,000 portable buildings in use.
Overall, we have come a long way from three years ago—when I declared a state of financial emergency for our schools—but we still have a long way to go.
I'm committed to seeing LCFF fully funded over the next few years, and this year's proposal is a good indicator that we are well on our way. But keep in mind that this marks the beginning of the marathon, not the finish line.
As we keep an eye to the future—and our schools—we would be well served by remembering that Californians across the state know that children deserve every tool and opportunity to thrive inside the classroom and out.
I'll continue working with Governor Brown, you, and your colleagues in the Legislature over the coming months and years to make sure that education remains the top priority in the state budget.

Like many NRO contributors, I am on largely board with Speaker Boehner's compromise debt-ceiling plan. Politics is the art of the possible, and this plan avoids a government shutdown while offering some spending cuts with no real tax hikes. As most NRO readers know, the long-term fiscal health of this country depends largely on entitlement reform. Unfortunately, the Obama administration never really proposed anything serious in this regard.
On the good side, the spending limits are a positive development. Spending limits can be useful at reinforcing a broad consensus to limit the growth of government. Furthermore, when budget deficits are a salient political issue, Congress has shown the ability to limit non-defense discretionary spending. Adjusting for inflation, non-defense discretionary spending actually fell during the 1980s. In fact, between 1981 and 1996, non-defense discretionary spending increased by only three percentage points in real terms.
I think that many analysts, both conservative and liberal, are overestimating the impact of the triggers. Similar triggers were put in place in the Gramm Rudman Hollings Act, which President Reagan signed into law in 1985. The difference was that the Gramm Rudman Hollings triggers were installed to meet deficit targets, not spending targets. The triggers were only utilized sporadically and resulted in very few actual spending cuts. Congress often met the annual deficit targets by engaging in creative accounting and delaying expenditures until subsequent fiscal years. I am concerned that future Congresses may engage in similar gamesmanship.
Overall, in the absence of Obamacare, I might have urged the Republicans to take a harder line in these negotiations. However, as I have argued previously, the best thing that could happen for the long-term fiscal health of this country is a repeal of Obamacare. If the 2012 elections are about the faltering economy and Obamacare, Republicans have a good chance to win. Conversely, a focus on Medicare and entitlement reform would not work to the advantage of Republican candidates. Since the window of opportunity to repeal Obamacare will probably close after the 2012 elections, Republicans would do well to accept this compromise and not risk the political fallout that might accompany a partial government shutdown.

text: Today, I opened the drivers door using the key (rather than the key fob) and the alarm started blaring. I could not get the alarm to turn off by putting the key in the ignition either, as it just flashed theft. I had used the key because the battery on the fob was dying, and with the cold temps, it didn't work. I warmed the fob in my hands for a minuite (alarm still on...) and finally got the unlock button on the fob to turn off the alarm. Is that normal or is there something missing/broken? If I unlock it using the fob, it is perfectly fine. I don't believe it should do that, but I am not sure what switch/wire is broken. Is there one in the door to sense a key is being used?

Looked at em.
Told them I love them, that they are pretty, and that we will go out again soon, but until then, stay locked up in the basement out of sight where you wont cause problems with the boss lady, who is also pretty, nice, and I love to go out with her.
Was away from the computer Sat. and Sun.
Saturday I managed to tip strike my Sidewinder 2. Fortunately when it went tumbling off it went BETWEEN the other guys flying that round. One little ding on a wing tip, a cracked bulkhead temporarily fixed by binding with string, and a crack in the tailboom, not too severs.
Sunday I managed to finish getting my other glider ready just before the contest. Doing well halfway through the first round when I managed to snap the boom. (Pretty sure it wasn't a tip strike, may have been due to a repair that it had when I bought it.) CA'd some carbon on the other one and flew it without incident. Missed a round. Terrible scores. Wish I'd had more time with it before it broke. The Salonit seems to fly really well.
Went out at a small town town ballpark while the wife was playing softball and managed one 2 minute flight out of an hour of tossing the Helios. Limited space so I couldn't really stretch her out to even make 1:30s. Mostly :50-1:05. Managed to hit the sis in laws big honking suburban (or whatever it may be) and split the leading edge span wise for about 2" with a ding into the d-box. So tonight I've got it under weights with a homemade bed of pink foam about 6" wide and about 60# on that section. Hopefully back ready for the weekend. Worked on the frankenplane as well. Made up my aileron linkages.
After reading this thread at work yesterday I was waiting for an afternoon to myself... Me, my new Neos and my dog chasing.
good times, and got away a few times
I flew my Twister 3 at a local field for about 1hour. Quite windy (7-9 m/s) and turbulent, I liked it that way because I wanted to try out how the Twister handles wind.
I put a little xtra lead to move the c of g from 87 mm to 83 mm (Hoekstra's trimming tip). Little ballast in, total flying weight about 295-300 grams. Flew nice, plane penetrating well. Had lots of very short flights but also a few good ones, far away and high. Happy!
Another hot hazy day, amazingly at this time of year in Woodinville Wa.
Flew for about 3 hours. First two hours puffed my 1s out of laziness to walk back to the truck and swap it out.
Also discovered a disadvantage to going rudderless which I had not thought of before. I lost aileron control for one flight after a mid power launch. Flew it in with no problems on rudder and elevator. Couldn't have done that without my rudder!! I wiggled the connections and what not which didn't show any reasons why I lost complete control of the wing; really don't know why it happened. The flaps functioned perfectly the rest of that charge and the next one.
Had some nice flights around 10 minutes or so never above 200'. There was gentle lift all over the place with few or no thermals that really would take it way up. That's all right: I'm getting lots of practice with the glider in close so I can see it.
Messed with the launch preset a bit to get angled up more quickly and also fine tuning the rudder preset. Strangely, after some practice, it seemed that my up elevator throw was hardly anything. Pulling full stick did may be a third of what it should have. I had noticed the small throw before, but it wasn't this bad. I went through my settings very thoroughly and can't manage to get any more throw. The only thing to do now is to mechanically change it so I don't need 70 subtrim to keep it trimmed. I just don't know why it has gotten worse on its own. Anyway, that kind of put the damper on the rest of that charge so I left before reaching half charge.
Another thing I tried for the first time was tip-catch-launch's. They are fun! and I got better at them after only a few minutes of repetitions. Still a bit awkward and not consistent, but I think I'll get sub second smooth turn arounds in no time. The fact that it was so calm most of the time made it easier I'm sure. I have that video of Jun etched in my brain, and I won't stop practicing for effortless form until I got it. The way I go about things like that is understand what good form is, practice with low power, constantly letting go of my body to stay relaxed but continue to do the correct motions. Eventually, they are learned with near minimum muscle engagement and hopefully with NO muscle groups opposing each other. One of the main problems I think about coordination for power is that humans tend to fight themselves (i.e. biceps and triceps engaged at the same time) so that our body feels resistance. The more resistance one feels, the more work we think we are doing. True, except that work is not going into the glider's velocity, but into the opposing muscle groups. yada yada...
