text: Hi All,I've had my LG washer/dryer a little over 3 years now and my LG frig for a little over a year. And knock on wood...no problems with any. I posted my review of the washer/dryer combo back then and I am still very happy with the pair. I wish I could quantify the amount of water, power and detergent costs I have saved in three years. The Frig so far, has been great. The quality, style and performance is what I hoped it would be. I would not hesitate in buying another LG product if I was in the market.Regards,Mark

SANTA ANA, California (Reuters) - Jurors began deliberating on Thursday in the trial of two former California police officers charged in the 2011 beating death of a mentally ill homeless man, an incident that touched off protests and political upheaval in the Los Angeles suburb of Fullerton.
Orange County Superior Court Judge William Froeberg sent the jury out shortly at mid-morning on Thursday, after instructing them on the law in the month-long, high-profile trial of former Fullerton police officers Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli.
The panel deliberated behind closed doors for about 5 hours before leaving for the day without reaching verdicts. They were scheduled to resume deliberations on Monday morning.
Ramos, 39, is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the case, while Cicinelli, 41, is charged with involuntary manslaughter and use of excessive force.
Prosecutors say the officers approached Kelly Thomas near a bus depot on the night of July 5, 2011, to question him about reports of vandalized cars, then turned what should have been a routine police encounter into a savage beating that killed the unarmed homeless man.
A surveillance camera at the bus station captured the confrontation between six Fullerton police officers and Thomas. The videotape sparked angry protests in Fullerton, some 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and resulted in the ouster of three city councilmen in a recall election.
Defense attorneys argued that Thomas, 37, was dangerous and resisted arrest and that the officers responded properly according to their training.
During his final summation in the case earlier on Thursday, Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas urged the jury to convict both men, saying, "Good officers don't act in the manner depicted in this case."
He also referred again to a moment captured on video when Ramos is seen strapping gloves on his hands, balling them into fists in Thomas's face and telling Thomas, whom he knew from previous encounters: "You see these fists? They are getting ready to f--- you up."
An attorney for Ramos, John Barnett dismissed that remark as sarcasm during his closing statement on Thursday, telling jurors it wasn't meant to be taken literally.
"Only a defense lawyer could make that up," Rackauckas said. "It's a threat. It's a threat to beat somebody severely."
Ramos, the first police officer in Orange County to be charged with murder, could be sentenced to a maximum of 15 years in prison if he is convicted. Cicinelli faces up to four years behind bars if he is found guilty.
Former Fullerton police officer Thomas Wolfe was indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter and use of excessive force in the case last September and is awaiting trial. Three other officers involved in the confrontation with Thomas have not been charged.
In 2012, Fullerton's acting chief of police posthumously exonerated Thomas of any wrongdoing in connection with the confrontation, saying he was cleared of any suspicion that he provoked the violent struggle that led to his death.
The city has also agreed to pay $1 million to Thomas's mother in a negotiated settlement of any claims she might have brought in her son's death. Thomas's father filed a separate lawsuit on the one-year anniversary of the beating.

Opinion: Senate GOP should finish what it started - pass a health care bill
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Health care reform has been the focus of Washington, D.C. all year. The reason is that the American people elected Republican majorities in both houses of Congress with an express mandate to overhaul Obamacare.
Yet, the reform process seemingly came to a screeching halt last week in the Senate. GOP Senators John McCain of Arizona, Susan Collins of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska all voted "No" on a "skinny repeal" of Obamacare, leaving the lightest version of the bill short of the 50 votes it needed to go to conference.
However, while Obamacare reform may seem down, we shouldn't count it out yet.
The health care bill in the House died a million deaths before being passed in May.
Will the Senate be able to achieve the same outcome in the end?
Senators on the Hill are saying that they need to move on to other issues where there is more common ground and come back to health care at a later time.
The Senate is still in session for the next two weeks and is expected to start working on fronts outside of health care. There are no current plans to forge ahead on the health care battle before senators head home for their abbreviated August break.
That is a mistake. There is no reason to kick the can down the road. Three votes sank the skinny repeal. Those votes, especially that of McCain, should be able to be swayed. Sen. McCain needs to be assured that while the skinny repeal is not all-encompassing, it is a path to a broader bill that would come out of a conference with the House.
We, the American people, do not give up when there are setbacks, and our elected officials should follow suit and not shy away from a challenge.
The bottom line is this: health care reform needs to get done. It was a priority of the GOP during the campaign. It is a priority of the president. It's a priority of the American people. Republicans in the Senate should finish what they started and find a way to pass a health care bill before moving on.

My philosophy is that images are where you find them, not necessarily where you expect them to be. Sometimes it's fun to find an image where you don't expect it, and sometimes you have to be creative with choosing your vantage point to avoid including totally distracting elements. I was on my way from Montana to Texas, and when I saw the house, I knew it had potential and had to stop. So I slid under the fence and spent about 40 minutes shooting there.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=54792\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Ruth Lawson Hanson
The following biographical sketch was compiled at the time of induction into the Academy in 1976.
Ruth Lawson Hanson, the leader of the fight against diabetes in Alabama, was born in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1900. In 1936 she married Victor Henry Hanson, the publisher of the Birmingham News-Age Herald and The Huntsville Times. When Mr. Hanson died of a heart attack nine years later, she was named the chairman of the newspapers' board of directors by a provision of his will; she held that post until the papers were sold in 1956.
Before she married Mr. Hanson, Mrs. Hanson had only an intelligent lay-person's interest in diabetes. But Mr. Hanson suffered acutely form the disease, and after his death, she resolved to dedicate herself to the search for a cure. In the years that followed, she became a member of the board of the Birmingham Lay Diabetes Society and participated in all of its programs--particularly in the annual diabetes detection drives and the effort to send diabetic children to Camp Seale Harris in Citronelle. For more than 25 years she purchased free insulin for the indigent of Jefferson County.
But undoubtedly her biggest contribution to the fight against diabetes was made in 1967, when she gave 500,000 to endow a chair in Diabetes and Metabolism at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. In the years since its creation, this chair has made the Medical Center nationally prominent in the field of diabetes research, and in Mrs. Hanson's estimation, has brought closer the day when the elusive cure will be found.
To recognize her years of extraordinary devotion to diabetes research and to salute the magnanimity of her gift, the University of Alabama made Mrs. Hanson an honorary doctor of humanities in 1969. In 1971 the Medical Association of the State of Alabama acted similarly, when it gave her its William Crawford Gorgas Award for "philanthropy and leadership." And in 1973 the American Diabetes Association recognized her importance to its national effort by giving her its Certificate of Outstanding Affiliate Service, the highest award that can be given to a layman in the field of diabetes research.
But even admired awards could not give her the pleasure that she took in the opening of the Diabetes Research and Education Hospital in 1973. The completion of the hospital was her cherished dream, when she helped to establish the Diabetes Trust Fund to raise money for its construction. Since 1973 the dream has been a reality, and the 10 million dollar structure has housed the only diabetes speciality hospital in the United States.
Even with the building almost finished, Mrs. Hanson did not consider her civic duty to be done. She had always worked for causes besides diabetes research in the past, and she continued to do so. In particular, she continued to support the young people whom she called "her students"--and whom she helped to attend such colleges as Auburn, Birmingham Southern, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Berry College in Mt. Berry, Georgia. She also served as a life member of the board of trustees of Birmingham Southern, a life member of the University Hospital Auxiliary, and an honorary member of the Birmingham chapter of Quota International. In the time that remains she worked for the Women's Civic Club of Birmingham, the Women's Committee of 100, and the Women's Auxiliary of the Birmingham Salvation Army.
For relaxation, Mrs. Hanson belonged to the Mountain Brook Club, the Birmingham Country Club, the Downtown Club, and the Relay House. She was also a member of the Highlands Methodist Church of Birmingham for a number of years. She is now deceased.

A Learn-How-To-Draw book is the last thing youd expect to see at a Vincent Van Gogh exhibition. But there it is in the Denver Art Museum with sample pages, exercises and some early attempts by the young man himself.
The Bargue Drawing Course was a three-volume, do-it-yourself workbook published in 1878. After failing as a theology student, preacher, teacher and art dealer, the young Van Gogh applied himself to the lessons Bargue proscribed. Within six months, Van Gogh completed all 197 exercises at least once and three times for many of the figure studies.
Unfortunately, his mother threw most of them out and only a few remain. One, titled Sorrow, is in the remarkable exhibition Becoming Van Gogh at the DAM. A seated nude folds in on herself in sadness. Shes thin and awkward, not an idealized beauty, not at all like Van Goghs Venus, a Paris school drawing of a plaster cast round, pretty and dull.
Whats unusual about the Denver-only exhibition is that it focuses exclusively on the slow process of developing a mature style. Van Goghs authentic voice didnt emerge until the last few years of his life.
Born in the Netherlands in 1853, Van Gogh finally decided to be an artist in 1880. His short, 10-year career ended in 1890; according to legend of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Many books about Van Gogh focus on his biography a life marked by misery, epilepsy and loneliness. Most exhibitions concentrate on his profound gift for self-expression. The Denver show is different. It explores the development of Van Gogh as a largely self-taught artist. Thats where the how-to-draw lessons come in, not to mention his reliance on a device called The Perspective Frame and later color-wheel studies. That he also cut his own quill pens comes through as he figured out how to create the illusion of fields disappearing into the distance. He admired, appropriated and discarded Impressionist dots and dabs as he created his own style of thick, repeated strokes and blinding color contrasts.
Thats the thrust of this exhibition, and it delivers on its title. You see the slow process of acquiring skills, persistent experimentation and a brief back-to-school period where he resented academic teaching. In Paris, he and Toulouse-Lautrec were assigned seats at the back for the weaker students. Both of their 1881 student drawings are in the exhibition. Its one of the many coups for Denver, including works by other artists who influenced or worked beside Van Gogh.
Van Goghs 1886 Still Life with Zinnias is paired with Adolphe Monticellis Bouquet. What an odd pair, the student and the then popular artist whom no one knows today. Both works are heavy handed, overpainted and thoroughly pedestrian.
But it was in Paris that Van Gogh discovered color and doggedly pursued its mysteries.
His color experiments merged with his drawing techniques resulting in the famous canvases that virtually sing in their intensity.
In the mid-1880s, Van Gogh, like many other French artists, fell under the spell of Japanese art, particularly the woodcuts of Hokusai and Hiroshige. Several are on display alongside one key Van Gogh painting, The Courtesan, showing a preference for flat color, bold outlines and Japanese motifs.
When Van Gogh left for Southern France, all these strands came together in what turned out to be his final works. You wont see The Starry Night or any of the famous sunflower paintings or Wheatfield with Crows.
Forget it, said Denver Curator Timothy Standring in a special opening lecture last weekend. It took us seven years, 500 letters and more than 100,000 travel miles to make this exhibition happen.
Standring worked closely with Louis van Tilborgh, senior researcher at Amsterdams Van Gogh Museum to create Becoming Van Gogh. More than 70 paintings and drawings are included as well as works by other artists of the era.
This is the only venue, Standring said. No one has done this kind of intelligent, slow-looking Van Gogh show. We focused on materials and techniques, not biography.
At the end of the lecture, a question about Van Goghs suicide came up. To everyones surprise, there is new research suggesting it was an accidental shooting, and the conventional story may have to be revised.
Until that thorny issue is settled, Becoming Van Gogh offers a look at what made his a life worth remembering.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libya's election commission set new parliamentary elections for next month, trying on Tuesday to find a peaceful resolution to a crisis triggered by a renegade general's efforts to crush Islamist militias and his demand that the Islamist-led legislature disband for allegedly supporting extremism.
The announcement of a nationwide June 25 vote came after the parliament met in what lawmakers had hoped would be a secret location. A missile was fired at the hotel where the session was taking place, causing panic but no injuries.
The general, Khalifa Hifter, has launched an armed campaign he says is aimed at imposing stability after three years of chaos since the ouster and death of dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. He says he wants to break the power of Islamists, whom he accuses opening the door to Islamic radicals.
Hifter denies seeking power but indicated Tuesday that he would be interested in running for president — an office which has remained vacant since the revolution, pending the drafting of a new constitution.
Leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood group, one of the biggest factions in parliament, denounced Hifter as "a counter-revolutionary allying with remnants of Gadhafi's forces." Mohammed Gair, a leading group member, called for dialogue to avert a struggle in which "no one is a winner and the only loser is the Libyan people."
The standoff has developed into a potential battle for power as many of Libya's militias line up behind either of the two camps. Hifter's allied militias are positioned along the road to Tripoli's airport, south of the capital, while Islamist-led militias from Libya's third-largest city, Misrata, have mobilized and are positioned to move into the capital.
Libya has not had an effective government since the fall of Gadhafi in a destructive civil war. The rebel brigades that rose up to fight Gadhafi transformed into armed militias after his regime's collapse and have mushroomed in size, power and armaments.
Some remain rooted in local loyalties but have spread their power to other regions. Others are ideologically based — particularly al-Qaida-inspired extremist militias, which have waged a campaign of violence in Bengazhi, almost daily gunning down military and police officers and other opponents.
The military and police, always weak under Gadhafi, were shattered in the war and have not recovered since. The central government — with almost no authority around the country — has had to pay militias to keep security, and many militias have lined up on political lines in the rivalry between Islamists and their opponents.
Islamists, including the Brotherhood, garner a slim majority in parliament. Earlier this year, they succeeded in removing Western-backed Prime Minister Ali Zidan, despite street protests demanding parliament's dissolution after its mandate ran out. Islamist lawmakers voted to name a businessman, Ahmed Maiteg, as the next prime minister, but their opponents rejected the vote as illegal, saying it was conducted improperly.
On Sunday, powerful militias allied to Hifter stormed parliament and declared it suspended — a move endorsed on Tuesday by Zidan.
The interim government ignored Hifter's declaration but, aiming to resolve the crisis, proposed that parliament find a new candidate for prime minister, then stop its work to allow for new parliament elections. Lawmakers, however, appeared to reject that proposal by calling Tuesday's session for a vote of confidence in Maiteg.
Some lawmakers, especially from the non-Islamist faction, said they were not invited to the parliament meeting.
However, there appeared to be last-minute efforts to ease tensions. Maiteg called for the vote to be postponed for 10 days to allow the creation of a national consensus government, lawmakers said. The session adjourned, and lawmakers were to return to decide on the proposal.
In an interview published in the Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat, Hifter said he seeks to crush the Muslim Brotherhood, calling the group "a sinister disease that aims to get into the marrow of the bones of Arab nations."
He vowed that his forces would achieve control over Libya "soon," saying he had been preparing for an anti-Islamist offensive for the past two years. He denied receiving any support from rich Gulf countries or Egypt, all bitter foes of the Brotherhood, and said he will run for president "if the people see fit."
"If the people ask me (to be president), I won't hesitate a moment to fulfill their request," he said. "We are ready for any duty at any time."

|Upper Canada Land Book Entries
I hoped to find an exact land location because then my search could extend to the Abstract Indexes to Deeds. That would allow me to learn exactly when Jonathan obtained his farm land and under what conditions, and when he left and who the land passed to. But the only clues were vague..... "West of Grand River" and a possible lot number of 88.
Jonathan could not be found after this 1840 assessment. There are no early census records for Ontario before 1851 although there is an 1841/1842 and an 1848 Census which is head of house only. Many of the 1851 census records are missing for several locations so that quickly became a dead end.
Land records such as the CLRI were no help. There was no record of Jonathan as a first time land owner anywhere in Ontario. I could not find a death record for Jonathan or his wife, Elizabeth Ginkins or Jenkins [Source: 1851 baptism for their son Allen]
Analyzing & Assessing Documents
For several years I was stalled. I mulled over what I had found. I did a lot of examining and re-examing the records I'd found, thinking about my next step. I didn't know where in Toronto (or Toronto Township) Jonathan had resided. It seemed to me that land records were the answer but Jonathan was nowhere to be found on the few indexed records available. I knew that a Jonathan Butler had been granted land in the Wilberforce Settlement which was an area of Ontario settled by men of colour as early as 1819. But was this "my" Jonathan Butler?
A Serendipitous Email
And then a break. Gary French, the author of "Men of Colour: An Historical Account of the Black Settlement on Wilberforce. Street and in Oro Township, Simcoe County, Ontario 1819-1949", wrote to tell me had found what he was sure was Jonathan's petition for land, and that it gave information on his origins in the USA.
A look at the online petition in the Upper Canada Land Petitions found on Library and Archives Canada provided this information:
March 9, 1819 Petition for Land Johnathan [sic] Butler, farmer of Toronto Township, Home District. Has a farm of 50 acres, has developed 30, desires some Crown Land. Is a man of colour, a native of Pennsylvania, been in the province upwards of 11 years.
This wonderful document narrows the time of Jonathan's arrival in Upper Canada, making his immigration year circa 1808. It also reveals that he lived in Toronto Township and not the city of Toronto.
A close look of the envelope containing this land petition revealed, in very tiny hard-to-read writing: Entered in Land Book K, page 93 which is C-103, Vol. 29. Granted 100 acres in Wilberforce. And now the question: Men of colour who were granted land in Wilberforce were War of 1812 military men. Jonathan Butler was the only non-military man granted land there. Why was he included?
Next stop: Upper Canada Land Books
Armed with these new facts, I next went through the online Land Books on Canadiana.org, which believe me is not an easy or quick task. They are not indexed, but I was able to narrow my search to Land Book K on film C-103. From there it was a case of scrolling until I found the reference to Jonathan on page 93.
26 April 1819. Land Book K page 93: Jonathan Butler praying for a grant of land as a settler. Granted 100 acres in Wilberforce Street.
The entry did not reveal much more than the original petition in March but that's the thing with genealogy and family tree research. You must track down and follow every clue, every reference, no matter how small. Sometimes you find something huge, sometimes nothing at all. But if you don't retrieve the document you will never know what you might have missed.
Although Jonathan was granted land in the Wilberforce Settlement, Gary French tells me it does not appear he ever lived there. But finding the exact location would give a date he gave the land up and that might lead to knowing when he went to the Queen's Bush settlement in Waterloo.
Part 3 to be posted tomorrow

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department recently honored New Hampshire 2011 Conservation Officers of the Year and an OHRV Program Coordinator for outstanding service.
The Law Enforcement recipients were Conservation Officer Mark W. Ober Jr. of Franconia and Sergeant Scott LaCrosse of Loudon. Retired Major Tim Acerno, now a regional Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle Program Coordinator, was recognized as the 2011 OHRV Safety Education Instructor of the Year. The awards were presented at the N.H. Fish and Game Commission meeting on May 16, 2012, in Concord.
CONSERVATION OFFICER MARK W. OBER JR. of Franconia was selected as the New Hampshire 2011 Shikar-Safari Club International Wildlife Officer of the Year. A 7-year veteran of Fish and Game, Ober patrols in northern New Hampshire, covering Berlin, Gorham, Success, Randolph, Shelburne and various grants and purchases surrounding Mount Washington.
Since his patrol area includes Mount Washington and the Presidential Mountain Range, it is a center not only for traditional Fish and Game Law Enforcement, but frequent search and rescue activity. Ober constantly responds to hikers in distress; in 2011, he participated in over 20 missions as an active member of Fish and Game's Advanced Search and Rescue Team. He is also a member of Fish and Game Dive Team; several of his recent missions involved evidence recovery from high-profile violent crimes. Ober is a Firearms Instructor and Armorer, a Field Training Officer and has commanded Fish and Game's Honor Guard.
"Ober has shown a tremendous tenacity in the performance of his duties," said Col. Martin Garabedian, Chief of Fish and Game Law Enforcement. He cited Ober's consistent work on OHRV enforcement, as well as fish and game criminal investigations. During the past year, Ober's efforts resulted in the successful prosecution of several deer poaching cases and a large-scale baiting operation in Coos County. He also helped the New Hampshire State Police apprehend an armed man.
"Mark is always an effective ambassador for Fish and Game," added Garabedian. "Through his hard work and dedication, he has earned the respect of his law enforcement peers and the general public."
The Shikar-Safari Club International is a worldwide organization dedicated to the protection, enhancement and preservation of wildlife, with emphasis on endangered and threatened species and promoting the enforcement of conservation laws and regulations.
SERGEANT SCOTT F. LACROSSE of Loudon was honored as the New Hampshire 2011 Northeast Conservation Law Enforcement Chiefs Association Conservation Officer of the Year.
LaCrosse is a 23-year veteran of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and serves as a first-line supervisor for a unit of Conservation Officers assigned to the District Five Patrol area, which serves populous south-central New Hampshire.
During the past year, LaCrosse has been responsible for overseeing Fish and Game's response to several critical incidents, including multiple searches, two hunting-related shootings, a drowning, and a trail bike accident that resulted in serious injury. He has fostered a strong relationship with the members of the Army Air National Guard Blackhawk Helicopter and is often called upon to assist the helicopter crew with air searches during complicated search and rescue missions.
LaCrosse has taken on many additional duties as a Conservation Officer. He is a Field Training Officer and a valued member of the Advanced Search and Rescue Team and the Conservation Officer's Oral Interview Board. He instructs other officers in defensive tactics, map/compass and GPS land navigation skills, and use of expandable batons and handcuffs.
"This Division has come to rely on the consistent reliability we see from Sergeant LaCrosse on a daily basis. Scott is our go-to guy, if you will — he can get any job done right," observed Fish and Game Law Enforcement Chief Martin Garabedian in presenting the award.
The Northeast Conservation Law Enforcement Chiefs Association represents chiefs and command staff of law enforcement organizations throughout the northeastern U.S. and Canada. Its purpose is to encourage enhanced law enforcement cooperation among the member states and provinces, to study and exchange fish and wildlife law enforcement techniques and perspectives, and to promote cooperation and understanding among allied agencies in wildlife conservation and management.
TIMOTHY J. ACERNO of Raymond, was honored as the 2011 OHRV Safety Education Instructor of the Year. This award was created in 2003 in memory of Bud Wool and Jack Willey, who were pioneers in setting the standards of safety education for snowmobiles and OHRVs. Acerno retired from Fish and Game last year, where he had earned the rank of Major; he had coordinated OHRV safety education and enforcement since 1992. Since his retirement, Acerno has volunteered as an OHRV instructor and is now a regional coordinator.
"Tim's recommendations to safety training programs, campaigns, and Fish and Game initiatives are exceptional and have helped shape the outstanding safety and education programs that students and parents enjoy today," said Captain John Wimsatt, the current OHRV Safety Education and Enforcement Coordinator. "On behalf of the N.H. Fish and Game Department and the entire OHRV and snowmobile community, it is my distinct pleasure to present the 2011 OHRV Safety Instructor of the Year Award to Timothy J. Acerno."

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Teachers and staff at Charlton-Pollard Elementary School in Beaumont are encouraging their students to perform "Acts of Kindness" and then recognizing the good deeds of their young charges.
According to Counselor Earline Mitchell at the school, "At Charlton-Pollard Elementary School, we know that one small thoughtful gesture can make someone else's day. Kindness is contagious and we want to pass it around. We are teaching our students that their greatness is measured by their kindness."
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Farmers market reaches out to needy
Wanting to help their neighbors in need, organizers for Salem's weekly farmers market began accepting EBT cards about a year and a half ago.
This summer the staff at the market are taking things a step further with the implementation of the new Double Value Token Program.
Shoppers can now present their EBT card when they purchase their market tokens, and for every dollar purchased, the market is doubling the amount, allowing them to purchase more freshly grown and prepared products.
"The value of this is tremendous, as it gives families food with a longer shelf life and higher in nutrients when purchasing fresh produce not trucked in from hundreds of miles away," market coordinator Jane Lang said.
The state's Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) program allows needy residents to purchase various fresh, frozen and canned grocery items, as well as seeds and plants for growing their own food at home.
Currently, the Salem Farmers Market is trying to obtain sponsorship funds from various community organizations to help keep the Double Value program afloat, though so far they haven't been successful in doing so.
That hasn't stopped them from moving forward with the program.
"We haven't been awarded any grants for this," Lang said. "But there's still such a huge need for this, we decided to go ahead with it. There are so many people out there in our communities that rely on food stamps, including our seniors."
Community donations are currently being accepted to assist with the new program, and those who want to help out can do so through a PayPal account set up on the market's website.
With nearly 1,300 fans on the Salem Farmers Market Facebook page, Lang said that if each of those fans donated $1, she'd have more than enough to keep the Double Value Token Program running through the summer.
"I've always had a passion for giving back, and we want people to feel good about shopping at the market," she added.
Town officials from Salem and surrounding communities lauded the program for its efforts to assist those in need.
Windham Community Development Director Laura Scott called it a win-win.
"It's great to support local farmers and at the same time, its helping people with limited incomes access local food," Scott said.
Admitting the market has been scrutinized by some for accepting food stamps as payment, Lang said she's also open to the idea of allowing low-income residents that don't quite qualify for food stamps participate in the program.
"We realize there's a lot of people out there working two or three part-time jobs – people that are struggling to feed their families even though their income is above the EBT requirement," Lang said. "Either way, every dollar we get puts that extra dollar into a family benefitting from fresh produce picked from local farms."
Those wishing to assist the program may send checks to Salem NH Farmers Market, P.O. Box 213, Salem, NH 03079.
The Salem Farmers Market, located at Lake Street Garden Center in Salem, is open every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Summer market hours will remain the same through late October.

Amtrak's replacement of the Niantic River bridge marks milestone
East Lyme - It may not look like it, but it's halfway there.
Amtrak officials announced Monday that the three-year project to replace the railroad bridge spanning the Niantic River is 50 percent complete.
"We're on schedule," Peter Finch, the project manager, said.
The project includes a track realignment and the restoration of the Niantic Bay boardwalk, which was partially dismantled to make way for the new track.
Finch led local leaders, including East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica, Waterford First Selectman Dan Steward and a staff member from U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney's office on a tour of the construction site Monday.
The $125 million project, funded with both federal stimulus funds and with Amtrak's capital budget, began in April 2010 and is expected to be complete in May 2013.
The 50 passenger trains that cross the Niantic River every day are scheduled to start using the new bridge next summer. Demolition of the old bridge will begin in the fall of 2012.
Portions of the bridge are under construction in factories in Alabama, Illinois and New Hampshire and will be assembled at the work site next year.
In the coming months, crews will install an electric submarine cable crossing, complete the bridge abutments and begin casting a new sea wall.
The new span, like its 104-year-old predecessor, will be a bascule bridge, similar in function to the famous Mystic River Highway Bridge in Mystic but on a larger scale.
"It will pivot on a giant bearing," Finch said.
Crews have nearly completed the pier for the bascule bridge and the "rest" pier on the Waterford side of the span, where the bridge rests when it's closed.
Finch said the new bridge, located 58 feet south of the existing bridge, will be 15.5 feet off the water, giving it nearly 5 feet more clearance than the current span.
Once the project is complete, the channel underneath the bridge will expand from 45 to 100 feet. Crews plan to install new safety markers for boaters on the piers.
The U.S. Coast Guard announced earlier this year that the channel will remain open and unobstructed during the summer boating season. There could be channel closures in the fall and winter.
Amtrak is also building a jetty, similar to the one at Hole-in-the-Wall Beach, near the bridge that will deposit sand on the shoreline, thereby creating a new beach.
Later Monday, Amtrak held an informational session for the public at East Lyme Town Hall that was attended mostly by maritime business owners on both banks of the Niantic River. John Wadsworth, who owns Mago Point Marina in Waterford, said the relationship between Amtrak, the contractors and businesses has been good "for the most part."
"Once this is done, it will be good for everyone," Wadsworth said.
Formica said Monday he has been impressed with quality of the lines of communication between Amtrak and East Lyme.
"It was an initial worry," Formica said. "But the communication really has been exceptional."
Steward said that there have been complaints from neighbors about the noise associated with the project.
"Amtrak has tried to make this palatable to people," Steward said. "It's a big project."

Cajuns' Comeback Stuns WKU 31-27
Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns turned the ball over four times and found themselves down by ten points, 27-17 with six minutes to go.
But the Cajuns rallied behind sophomore quarterback Terrance Broadway and shocked the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, 31-27 before 20, 314 at Cajun Field.
The win makes the Cajuns (6-4, 4-2 Sun Belt) bowl eligible for the second straight year.
The Cajuns had almost 600 yards in offense in the game, but three Cajuns' second half turnovers put the home team in trouble.
And, when Antoine Andrews rushed 13 yards for a touchdown to put WKU up by two scores, some of the fans on "blackout" night headed for the exits.
But Louisiana drove 72 yards on 19 plays to cut the lead to 27-24 with 2:43 left.
WKU (6-5, 3-4) ran three plays but failed to get a first down. Hilltoppers' Coach WIllie Taggart elected to punt the football on fourth and one, and it looked like it might pay off when Hendrix Brakefield punted the ball to the Cajuns seven yard line.
That's when Broadway went to work, with no time outs and just 1:32 remaining.
Broadway completed five of six passes on the final drive, with four of them going to wide receiver Harry Peoples, who had 13 catches for 144 yards. Broadway carried it in himself from fourteen yards out with :38 left for the game winner.
The Cajuns' drive was aided by a critical 15 yard personal foul penalty, when Peoples was hit out of bounds. That moved the football to the WKU 29.
The Hilltoppers drove to the Cajuns 35, but quarterback Kawuan Jakes' pass to the end zone was incomplete on the game's final play.
Broadway completed 23 of 33 passes for 258 yards and a touchdown to Jamal Robinson, for the first of two critical fourth quarter scores. He was intercepted twice. The sophomore from Baton Rouge was also the Cajuns' leading rusher with 145 yards on just 14 carries. Broadway was one of two 100-yard rushers for the Cajuns. Alonzo Harris had 104 yards on ten carries before leaving the game with an injury.
Freshman Torry Pierce had 68 yards on four carries and scored twice for the Cajuns, who rushed for 324 yards on just 34 carries.
Antoine Andrews put in yeoman's work for the 'Toppers, rushing for 238 yards on 37 carries. with nearly 200 coming in the second half. He scored twice.
The Cajuns wore black jerseys for the first time in school history. The game was billed as "Blackout Night" as part of Military Appreciation Weekend. The uniforms featured a large fleur de lis on the front and white numerals on the back.
The Cajuns will celebrate senior day with a game against South Alabama next Saturday at Cajun Field. Kickoff will be at 4pm.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas Medicaid officials say the state will submit its request to use federal money to purchase private insurance for thousands of low-income residents by August.
Department of Human Services Director John Selig told lawmakers Thursday that the state would draft its waiver next month for the "private option" that lawmakers approved as an alternative to Medicaid expansion. Selig said the state planned to submit the waiver to the federal government in August and hoped to get approval by October.
The meeting before the Senate and House public health committees was the first since lawmakers adjourned this year's session. Gov. Mike Beebe signed into law legislation setting up the private option, but the plan still requires federal approval.

PANA – Vandalia's season came to a close after last Friday's loss to Pana in the regional championship game, but this season's regional tournament will be an event the players will always remember.
After getting comeback wins in both the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds, the Vandals tried to parlay that momentum into a win against the Panthers, which had beaten Vandalia three times during the regular season.
But once again, Pana proved to be just too good in its 57-43 win.
PANA — Facing a 17-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter made it seem that the Vandalia boys basketball season was all but over.
A 16-0 run, which lasted just 2:09 and was sparked by a seven-point possession 1:30 into the final period, changed the dynamics dramatically last Wednesday against Carlyle, and helped the Vandals tie the game at 49 and eventually win 55-52 in overtime.
GREENVILLE – A rotation switch helped the Vandalia seventh-grade volleyball team score 26 aces during a 25-12, 25-10 win against Litchfield on Monday during the first round of the regional tournament.
Molly Kern opened the game as the No. 1 server for the Jr. Lady Vandals for the first time this season, and she quickly went to work, earning aces on six of the first nine points of the game to put Vandalia ahead, 9-0.
The Vandalia sixth-grade boys basketball team enjoyed a winning season this year, posting a 12-5 record, including a first-place finish at the Vandalia Tournament.
Nathan Casey, who won the free-throw shooting contest at the Brownstown Tournament by making 21-of-25 shots, paced the team in scoring, with 9.5 points per game.
At that tournament, the Jr. Vandals lost to Altamont Luthern in the first round, but beat the hosts, 36-24, to place third.
South Central's strong second half ends with 12-point loss in regional semifinals
The South Central boys basketball team had a strong second half, but its season came to a close last Wednesday during the regional semifinals, where it was defeated by Altamont, 50-38.
The game was knotted at 12 after the first period, but the Indians used a 25-13 run over the middle two quarters to take a 37-25 lead into the final stretch.
Many athletes that spent their high school years in Fayette County have moved on to play for college or professional teams. Below are athletes who played in the past two weeks.
Vandalia Community High School will be the host of a sectional boys basketball tournament this week, with the first game to be played on Tuesday.
The schedule is as follows, and the champion of the tournament advances to the Carbondale Super-Sectional.
Tuesday, Feb. 28 — Pittsfield vs. Pana, 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 29 — Breese Central vs. Marquette Catholic, 7:30 p.m.
Friday, March 2 — Winner of game 1 vs. Winner of game 2, 7:30 p.m.
There will not be any pre-sale tickets for Wednesday night's Red Hill sectional game featuring St. Elmo and Woodlawn. All $5 tickets will have to be purchased at the door.
BLOOMINGTON - The Vandal wrestlers had trouble against Lena-Winslow in the team state quarterfinals on Saturday morning, falling 58-9 and only securing two match wins.
Those back-to-back wins came from junior Zach Jackson, who pinned Dakota Cain in 1:36, and senior Dayin Godberson, who won a 9-5 decision against Dylan Gahm.
After that, however, that Vandals still trailed, 16-9, and then were not able to secure any more wins, with five of the next seven wrestlers losing by fall.
St. Elmo trailed at halftime, but used a third-quarter run to get ahead of Altamont, and the Eagles would eventually prevail, 43-34, during Friday's night regional championship game in Altamont.
Junior Connor Beasley had a double-double to lead St. Elmo to its second straight regional title. With the win, the Eagles will play Woodlawn at Red Hill High School on Wednesday night.
This will be the second straight season those teams have met in the sectional tournament.

Cosplay of the Day: 'The Fifth Element' is Ruby Rhod, Clearly
Yeah, we know they said the fifth element in 'The Fifth Element' was love, but obviously they were wrong. The missing ingredient to life is Ruby Rhod, as evidenced by this fabulous cosplay.
We see a ton of Leeloo cosplay around the internet, and that's an easy one to pull off. All you need is orange hair and strips of white cloth, and maybe a little dirt, and boom -- you're Leeloo.
But Ruby Rhod is a much more difficult costume to put together. You can't just slather on leopard print and expect it to work out. You need a real flamboyant attitude to sell it, which is why we think Larry Smith's Ruby Rhod cosplay is the best.
Chris Tucker's Ruby Rhod sports many eccentric looks throughout 'The Fifth Element,' but none more memorable than his exaggerated, high-collared leopard print ensemble with matching gloves and cane, and that ridiculous sculpted blonde afro quasi-beehive thing. Smith also includes accessories like a heart-shaped necklace, earrings and red-jeweled bracelet... but you guys, look at his face! He totally nails the facial expressions! And he looks like he's having the best time ever, which is what we like to see when we check out cosplayers.
Do you have cosplay photos you would like to submit for consideration? E-mail to staff [at] screencrush.com!

Chinese Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Kale and Apple Slaw
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I was looking for a twist on a classic pulled pork and cole slaw sandwich when I eyed my sister's garden brimming over with kale. I worked backward from there. The slaw is lemony-tart and has that super savory, lip-smacking quality of miso while the apple and carrot lend a little sweetness. The pork is fragrant and flavorful, and the whole combination, while hearty, isn't too heavy. The recipe multiplies well and would make a great appetizer in slider-size. If you can't get hold of dried shiitakes, use double the amount of fresh (crimini mushrooms will work, too), and sauté them along with the onions. I use chickpea miso, but any lighter-style soy (or other) miso will work fine. —vvvanessa
Food52 Review: WHO: vvvanessa is a blogger, Bay Area-ite, and the brains behind some of our favorite kitchen hacks.
WHAT: A just-messy-enough pulled pork sandwich and bonus kale & apple slaw -- our new go-to cold-weather side.
HOW: Brown & braise pork. Shred & stir slaw. Toast buns. Heap, eat.
WHY WE LOVE IT: The pork is beautifully spiced and falling apart tender in less braising time than you'd think. And we always love a new use for miso! —The Editors
Serves: 4
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 2 hrs 30 min
Chinese Pulled Pork
tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2
pounds boneless country-style pork ribs (or boneless pork shoulder/butt, cut into large cubes)
small onion, peeled and sliced thin
cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
slices of peeled ginger, roughly 2 inches long
piece star anise
cup dried shiitake mushrooms (pre-sliced)
cup soy sauce
cup white wine or mirin
cup water or chicken stock
tablespoons rice wine vinegar
teaspoon toasted sesame oil
sturdy, good-quality hamburger buns, Kaiser or potato rolls, or ciabatta rolls
Kale and Apple Slaw
tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
tablespoons fresh lemon juice
tablespoon rice wine vinegar
teaspoon toasted sesame oil
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
teaspoon ground white pepper
bunch tuscan/dinosaur/lacinato kale stemmed and cut into extremely thin strips (about 4 loosely packed cups in total)
small Fuji apple, cored and grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 1/2 cup total)
medium carrot, grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 1/2 cup total)
- For the pulled pork, heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven and brown the pork on two sides over medium heat, working in batches as necessary to avoid crowding the pan. As the pork is browned, remove it to a plate.
- Once all the pork is browned, add the onions, garlic, and ginger to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally to pull up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until they begin to soften, about 5-8 minutes. Add in the star anise and mushrooms and stir for another minute more.
- Nestle the pieces of pork back into the pan. Add the soy sauce, wine, vinegar, water/stock, and sesame oil, and stir to distribute. Add in additional water or chicken stock as necessary to bring the liquid level to about halfway up the pieces of pork (it's fine if there's a bit more than that). Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle-to-moderate simmer and cover the pot.
- Braise the pork until very tender, about 2 hours.
- While the pork is braising, make the kale slaw. In a large bowl, combine the miso, lemon juice, vinegar, olive and sesame oils, and pepper to make a thick dressing. Toss in the kale, apple, and carrots, and mix continuously for a couple of minutes to coat the kale very well. Make it at least an hour or two before serving. Store in the refrigerator.
- When the pork is fork-tender and falling apart, remove it from the pan and onto a large plate. Remove any unwanted hunks of fat still remaining, and shred the meat with two forks (or your fingers if the meat is cool enough). Skim the fat from the pan and discard. Also discard the star anise pod. Reduce the sauce over medium-low heat to about 1/2 cup (if there is more than that).
- To assemble sandwiches, place a heaping mound of shredded pork on the bottom half of each bun. Drizzle a tablepoon or two of reduced sauce onto the meat. Top with a generous mound of the kale slaw. Top with the other half of the bun, and serve.
- If you like an extra-spicy, vinegary kick, slice 1-3 hot peppers (jalapeño, serrano, habañero, Thai, or a combination of) and set them in a cup of rice wine vinegar before starting the pork. Spoon the vinegar over the meat (as much or as little as you'd like) before adding the kale slaw on top.

There will be no primaries for voters in Leavenworth and Lansing following Tuesday's noon candidate filing deadline.
There will be no primaries for voters in Leavenworth and Lansing following Tuesday's noon candidate filing deadline. "I think I only have one primary, for Basehor mayor," said Leavenworth County Clerk Janet Klasinski following Tuesday's noon filing deadline. In fact, the lists of candidates changed little for the races here since Friday. In Leavenworth, where three positions will be open on the City Commission, incumbents Davis Moulden, Mark Preisinger and Phil Urban all filed for another term. Also running are Keith Melick, Charles Raney and former commissioner Lisa Weakley. For the four open positions on the Lansing City Council — one in each of the city's four wards — the incumbents were the only candidates to file. Dave Trinkle, Ward 1; Don Studnicka, Ward 2; Kerry Brungardt, Ward 3; and Tony McNeill, Ward 4, will all run unopposed in the April election. All school boards in the county will have three open positions. For the Leavenworth School Board, incumbents Mike Robinson and Verna Raines will be seeking additional terms, with former board members Douglas Darling, Danny Zeck and Michael Carney also filing for the at-large positions. Mo Minchew did not file for a full term after being appointed in June. Only one incumbent, Beth Stevenson, filed for re-election on the Lansing School Board, with neither Gary Courtney nor Bob Nye filing for another term. But four others will be vying for the three at-large seats alongside Stevenson: Rich Hauver, Steven Buffo, Garret Martin, Sylvia Martens and Lansing High School senior Taylor Wisneski. Only one of the three incumbents filed for one of the three spots on the Leavenworth Waterworks Board, as well — Teresa Wood. Neither Thomas Koch nor Paul Kittle filed for another term on the board. Richard Gervasini, however, did file for one of the remaining two positions. Klasinski said the Waterworks board is just one of several races in which there were fewer candidates filing than open positions. Though Kim Sachse filed for re-election to Position 5 and David Hattok to Position 6 on the Easton School Board, Howard Crook did not file for re-election to his seat in Position 4. Nobody else filed for the position, either. And Klasinski said only four candidates appeared to have filed for the five positions on the Easton City Council, and none for the mayoral positions. "Those will be filled by write-in votes," she said of all positions without candidates.

Major: Visual Communication with a minor in Environmental Science
Accomplishment: Helping local businesses through Enactus
Awards: Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship (awarded by the International Tennis Association), 2013 All-American in Tennis, Freeman Award (for academic and athletic achievement)
House: Solah
Mexico City native Sofia Jaramillo's college of choice had to have two things: a great tennis team and the opportunity to major in Visual Communication.
When Sofia came to Graceland for a campus visit, she was struck both by the unity of the women's tennis team and the beauty of the Helene Center for the Visual Arts, where, as a Visual Communication student, she would be spending the majority of her time. The visit made clear to Sofia that at Graceland, there were opportunities to excel as both an athlete and an artist that didn't exist at other schools.
Some of those opportunities have included interning with a professional photographer and being on Graceland's Enactus team. Enactus (the EN stands for Entrepreneurial; ACT for Action; and US for everyone working towards the common good) is a nonprofit organization that gives students the tools to learn the free enterprise system in a real working situation. As an Enactus team member, Sofia has used her graphic design skills to help local businesses. "We are so image-driven in our society," said Sofia, "that having a powerful logo is going to make a big difference for a business. If the image of a company isn't good, then people will think that the product isn't very good." Revamping a business's image presents many challenges for Sofia, allowing her to use the problem-solving skills she's learned from Graceland's art faculty. "They teach you how to solve creative problems—and that there's a huge variety of ways to do it," said Sofia. "Brainstorming is one of the most helpful things I've learned. I end up with lots of ideas and solutions, which is very useful for when I'm going out into the real world and working with a client." And through Enactus, Sofia not only gets the opportunity to use her design skills; she also gets to help people. "I honestly feel like Graceland has changed my life, because it's helped me become a more responsible human being," said Sofia. "We are caring for people and working to see a positive change in the world."
Sofia has also been able to develop her photography skills while at Graceland, working with staff photographer Michael Gruich to capture student life, sports, and events on the Lamoni campus. As a student photographer, Sofia has produced professional-quality images to round out her already impressive portfolio. Learning about photography from Michael "has inspired me to see that anything here is possible." Her advice to fellow Graceland students: "If there is something you want to pursue outside the classroom, speak out and talk to people that work at GU to help you get there."
For Sofia, the Graceland women's tennis team "has really become like a second family to me," she said. "I never once got homesick since I've been here." What's more, "I've made friends from Hungary, Germany, France and Russia. I never thought I'd get the opportunity to get to know people from so many different cultures."
Sofia is passionate about using her visual communication skills to preserve ecosystems and the cultures that are dependent upon them. She sees herself working with wildlife at Sea World or promoting conservation with National Geographic magazine; to that end, she is thinking about getting a Master's degree in Environmental Communication. Thanks to Enactus events like the annual Fall Burn, where students can explore careers by participating in question and answer panels with professionals from many different fields, Sofia feels prepared for her future career. "During Fall Burn, they bring in young professionals you can relate to," said Sofia. "You see how they became successful, and you see how it's attainable for yourself."

FOX RIVER GROVE – School District 3 residents can expect to pay more toward the school system next year.
The District 3 school board on Monday approved its 2012 property tax levy – request of $5.276 million, or a 5.07 percent increase from the previous year.
However, under the tax cap law, the school district's increase is limited to 5 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. This year, rate is set at 3 percent based on the consumer price index.
Taxing bodies, though, generally balloon their levy to ensure they capture any property growth, in the form of either construction or improvements.
The school district expects to bring in about $146,000 more in property taxes next year and estimates the owner of a $250,000 house will pay $112 more in property taxes toward the school district.
Property-tax rates won't be set until the spring, when property values are finalized. Property values in the school district are estimated to drop 10 percent next year, Superintendent Tim Mahaffy wrote in an email to the Northwest Herald.
Property taxes account for 83 percent of the school district's revenue.
"The loss of general state aid ... has created an annual $400,000 revenue shortfall as it was decreased from 2009 through 2011," Mahaffy wrote. "I believe our school district and Board of Education continue to be responsible stewards with local funds in continuing to provide an excellent education for the students and future of Fox River Grove. Our board also indicated that possible abatements in the future would be discussed as we get a better picture of future state and federal revenue sources."

Dogtown Station, which has become something of an entertainment industry hub in Venice, has added producer Karen Tenkhoff to its ranks of owners.
"The Motorcycle Diaries" (2004) and "The Legend of Bagger Vance" (2000) producer has bought a 1,850-square-foot loft at the mixed-used development that was listed at $1.05 million. The unit has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Her neighbors include Iron Chef Michael Symon, writer-producer-director Neal Brennan of "Funny or Die Presents …" (2010) and "Chappelle's Show" (2003-06) and actor-comedian Dov Davidoff of "Invincible" (2006). Earlier celebrity owners who have since sold in the gated 35-loft development include actors Dylan McDermott and Bradley Cooper.
Tenkhoff's transaction was negotiated by Andy McMullen of Chiprut & McMullen Projects and Dogtown Station owner Charlotte D'Elia of RAD Ventures.

UK to investigate claims of child abuse cover-up
UK to investigate claims of child abuse cover-up
Jul. 07, 2014
LONDON (AP) — The British government vowed Monday to discover whether public institutions have exposed vulnerable children to sexual abuse — and whether authorities suppressed abuse allegations to protect politicians and other powerful people.
Home Secretary Theresa May said a panel of legal and child-protection experts would investigate how public agencies, including governments and hospitals, handled child-abuse allegations. She said she set up the inquiry after "appalling cases of organized and persistent" sexual abuse, including decades of assaults by the late TV host Jimmy Savile.
"Some of these cases have exposed a failure by public bodies to take their responsibilities seriously," May told the House of Commons.
May said a related investigation, led by National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children chief executive Peter Wanless, would examine whether abuse claims handed to authorities in the 1980s were lost or destroyed to protect wrongdoers.
Last year, an internal government inquiry found that 114 files relating to allegations of child abuse that were handed to officials had been lost or destroyed.
Britain has been wrestling with its collective conscience after revelations that several well-known figures used their positions to get away with abuse for years.
Savile was exposed after his death in 2011 as a predatory pedophile who assaulted victims in hospitals, children's homes and TV studios.
TV entertainer Rolf Harris was sentenced last week to almost six years in prison after being convicted of 12 counts of abusing girls.
Several recent cases in which gangs of men have been convicted of sexually exploiting girls in the care of local authorities also exposed failures by police and social services.
And after the 2010 death of Liberal Democrat lawmaker Cyril Smith, prosecutors acknowledged that in 1970 eight men accused Smith of abusing them as teens. Prosecutors said Smith was never charged but should have been.

And on that slippery slope if life were exterminated by a cataclysmic on Earth then no big deal? I am surprised at the belief that you put in the cosmic coincidences. Universal constant accurate to something like 10 X-11 decimal places (6.673×10−11), Goldilocks planet the right distance from sun which is just big enough not to cook us, where life just "happens" and then becomes sentient! If I was a gambling man those odds make the Power Ball look like a sure win.
Why would I mean "immortality"? You think that entire rant I just wrote was actually about immortality, not morality?
*sigh* Eye-rolling is not effective in debate, buildit. It only signifies immaturity, at least to me.
And, yes, of course life is meaningless! You haven't come to that realization yet? I suppose I can stomach you thinking that consciousness has meaning, but I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that you genuinely believe life has meaning. That is ... remarkable.
I obviously wish with all my heart for the perpetuation of humanity, for the perpetuation of thinking creatures in the universe, but to answer that question you posed: no, if mankind were wiped out, it would be no real big deal cosmically. We do not hold some divine significance--we did indeed arise by chance here, and perhaps it was a big chance, but coincidence does in fact happen. People do with the Power Ball.

Volunteer for Election Protection 2004

Register as an Election Protection volunteer today!
The Election Protection Program is the civil rights community's coordinated effort to address Election Day irregularities and voting rights violations that lead to disenfranchisement in minority communities. In anticipation of the 2004 Election cycle, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the People for the American Way Foundation, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation are leading the most ambitious contemporary voter protection program in the nation. In order for this effort to be successful, our organizations are working with a large group of coalition partners. The coalition has come together with one goal: to ensure that every eligible voter is able to cast a ballot that is accurately counted.
Voices of the Electorate
Know Your Rights/Election Protection
Election Protection is a non-partisan coalition of civil rights and civic organizations committed to protecting the right of all citizens to cast a ballot on Election Day. The coalition partners take a prospective approach to voter disenfranchisement by concentrating our efforts both on and before Election Day. In addition to providing immediate solutions for voters experiencing problems, the program accomplishes this goal by developing strategies to identify and respond to problems before Election Day through grassroots efforts, education and outreach to voters and election officials, and litigation. The program combines extensive, state specific legal research and resources with a coordinated grassroots field campaign. In addition, national media outlets, such as the Tom Joyner Morning Show, have endorsed the program and agreed to publicize the efforts of the coalition. The culmination of the coalition's activities is an Election Day hotline (1-866-OUR VOTE) that offers immediate, legal assistance to voters. In addition to drawing from our national Election Protection coalition partners for support and volunteers, the 2004 Election Protection Program has enlisted the support and help of an ever increasing list of strategic partners.
The Election Protection Program was created in the wake of the pervasive voting irregularities experienced disproportionately in minority communities during the 2000 Presidential Election cycle. Since that time, the Lawyers' Committee and People for the American Way Foundation and other coalition partners have conducted EP programs covering contests across the country.
In 2004, the Election Protection Program has joined forces with Unity '04, a national coalition of civil rights, labor and other activist organizations committed to encouraging civic participation and electoral mobilization in minority communities. Unity '04 will target states with a history of voting irregularities and disenfranchisement. For these states, the coalition will create field guides and legal materials as well as a Voters' Bill of Rights which provides voters and advocates with necessary information about state election law and voting rights. By far, the 2004 Election cycle is our most comprehensive undertaking yet. In order to successfully operate such an extensive program, the Lawyers' Committee will be coordinating Election Protection Attorney Networks in each of our targeted states, comprised of volunteer attorneys and law students. Likewise, our coalition partners are conducting extensive recruitment campaigns for volunteers, with and without legal experience, to serve a much needed role in the success of the program.
The Election Proctection Program is a non-partisan effort and is not affilated or working with any political candidate or party.
The EP program will only work with your help. Please click here to volunteer.

BAGHDAD Iraqi authorities on Thursday ordered the release of 11 women facing criminal charges and pledged to transfer other women prisoners to jails in their home provinces, in a move to address a main demand during a wave of protests by the country's Sunni minority against the Baghdad government.
The demonstrations erupted following the arrest of bodyguards assigned to Finance Minister Rafia al-Issawi, one of the central government's most senior Sunni officials. The protests tap into deeper Sunni feelings of perceived discrimination and unfair application of laws against their sect by Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government.
Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, another high-ranking Sunni official, is living in exile in Turkey after he was handed multiple death sentences in absentia for allegedly running death squads, a charge he dismisses as politically motivated.
Justice Ministry spokesman Haider al-Saadi said the families of the imprisoned women can secure their release by paying bail. He added that 13 Sunni women convicted on criminal charges will be transferred from a Baghdad jail to prisons in their home provinces of Anbar, Salahuddin and Ninevah to serve out their sentences.
The detention of female prisoners has been a focus of the demonstrations, but it was not clear whether the decision to release some of them will satisfy the protesters.

Consider the Yiddish word latke. It is what it sounds like, an onomatopoeic name for a flat, fried potato pancake consumed by Jewish people during Hanukkah. The eight-day festival commemorates the miracle of the burning oil that lit the Second Temple of the ancient Jews for way longer than it should have. Thus the miracle. Thus the celebration of the oil, with the extra added attraction of dropping delicious oniony blobs of potato and flour into the fat.
Latkes, like all the unhealthy foods Jewish people eat on the holidays (brisket, cholent, tsimmis, matzo balls, matzo brei, bagels and lox, kugel), came from Europe. Specifically, the potato pancake can trace its roots to Poland, Germany, Russia, Ukraine and the Czech Republic. How ironic that we carried a love of the national cuisine even as we were being driven out of the very same countries. I can imagine my great-grandparents, with cloth sacks over their shoulders, schlepping the bare necessities of their lives, which apparently included a recipe for potato latkes.
Like little Trojan horses, the latkes carried hidden threats into the new world: heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure. On the upside, an entire generation of Jewish doctors made a living off latkes. It's all very complex.
Today, of course, the media informs us that latkes need not be unhealthy. In fact, they publish latke recipes featuring zucchini, celery root, carrots and parsnips. Heresy, I say.
It is written that once a year, we are required to cook and eat the authentic potato pancakes, just as they were prepared by our foremothers and consumed in great quantities by our forefathers, who never lived very long.
The Bible tells us that up until age 12, we can eat as many latkes as we like, but from the day of our bar or bat mitzvah, we must subtract one latke per year. By age 50 it's high-risk behavior to eat more than two, but few people adhere to the limitations.
