I spring-cleaned yesterday! My hands are a mess, but my place feels squeaky clean. Though, I'm out of bookshelf space. It's a dreadful thing, my ability to fill a place with books. Thinking of buying a couple of the new-size Expedit shelves. But ugh that means a trip to the 'burbs.
I also bought myself flowers on V-Day. I have to say, I was in a sucky being-single-on-v-day-sucks mood. But then yesterday I was virtually skipping down the street. I avoided pink and red and went orange and yellow again. Tulips and ranunculus. The tall milk glass vases were bought from Etsy-seller Jolly Polly Pickins.

2) Jeopardy question:
Jon's answer: Jesusbird
Actual answer: Cardinal
3) Corinne called me on Saturday to say that she walked into her bedroom to find a mouse all curled up on her pillow, taking a nap. One of her cats pounced on it, once, then lost interest when the mouse ran away. I guess that's what you get for buying cats that look like this:
4) We went and saw Ghost Town this weekend. It was pretty good – I would recommend it, though it could have done without some parts, and I'm pretty sure there were some inconsistencies in the plot (though I'm not known for being the World's Best Follower-of-Movies). But it made me laugh out loud a few times, and I'd give it a solid B. There were two F-bombs, for those who care.
5) This is what Jon looked like when we went to see the movie. He's great. I'm obsessed with those pants.
6) Afterwards we went to Banana Republic (the entire store was 30% off!) and got a couple of things. Jon is convinced that Robin from the Real World San Diego was in the store, but I wasn't so sure. It definitely sounded like her, but she was at least 40 pounds lighter than she is right now on the current Real World/Road Rules Challenge. I would take Jon's word on this over mine, though, because I'm also not the World's Best Face Recognizer. I have a real problem with remembering faces. And he didn't just say that it LOOKED like her, he says he knows that it WAS her.
7) The lady at BR that helped us out was a real piece of work.
Me: Could you check in the back to see if you've got this in the next size down? I already looked on the rack and there wasn't one.
Her: [seven minutes later] There wasn't another one out on the floor. Would you like me to check in the back?
Me: …….yes please.
After she came back with no luck finding one in the size I wanted, she spent at least three minutes arguing – literally arguing with me - about the fit. "It's not too big…no, there's supposed to be lots of ill-fitting, floppy fabric hanging around your hips." Finally another sales associate intervened and took my side. That's one thing I'm proud of from my experience of working at Banana. I never blatantly lied and told someone that something looked good when it didn't. I was working when ponchos tried to make a comeback, and Banana carried a particularly heinous version in their 2004 fall line. Whenever anyone asked my opinion about them, I expressed my severe disgust towards the entire idea. As Best Week Ever once put it, "Ponchos are great if you're caught in the rain, chasing banditos, or born without arms".
And 8) When Jon was in the LA airport on his most recent trip, he witnessed the following incident: On his flight into Tucson, the crew was late, and they came hurrying around the corner to board. The pilot's rolling suitcase accidentally caught the edge of an old woman's wheelchair, so he stopped and turned to apologize. Her response? "Yeah, I BET you're sorry". One of the flight attendants rounded on her, "Excuse me?! Don't you ever talk to my captain that way", to which the crotchety old bag replied "Oh, drop dead!" She was promptly wheeled away by security, off to wait for the last flight of the day. ("Wait! What..? Where are you taking me??") Just another reason why Jon needs to start his own blog. Hilarious.

About the Tanzanian-German Centre for Eastern African Legal Studies (TGCL)
The Tanzanian-German Centre for Eastern African Legal Studies (TGCL) was established at the School of Law of the University of Dar es Salaam in 2008. It is a joint project of the Universities of Bayreuth and Dar es Salaam.
The TGCL is one of five centres of excellence established in Africa under the programme "African Excellence, Fachzentren in Afrika", funded by the German Foreign Office through the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
The TGCL offers aspiring lawyers and law students from the Partner States of the East African Community (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda) and other Eastern African countries highly specialised Master of Laws (LLM) and PhD study programmes. TGCL graduates are qualified to take over leading positions in the region in the fields of law, economy, culture, politics and administration, in national as well as in regional and international organisations.
Against the backdrop of increasing globalisation and regionalisation, our centre provides new, interdisciplinary educational approaches that unite theory and practice. The courses offered focus on regional integration law with aspects relating to the East African Community play a prominent role. Furthermore, the programme gives students insights into German law and European Union law. In addition, the students are trained in Transferable Academic Skills to support them at strategic points of their research.
An important role is played by the TGCL Student Adviser who counsels students on individual career planning and enhances their leadership skills.
Each year, the TGCL students undertake a study trip to the capital of one of the five EAC Partner States, combined with visits to various legal and other institutions. In addition, each student is offered participation to the Autumn University in Germany, where they take part in advanced courses on the law of the European Union.
Specially organised academic conferences bring leading scholars and legal practitioners together for a fruitful exchange of opinions, ideas and experience.
Up to now, 74 LLM students and 23 PhD students have joined the programme.

Objectors fighting a controversial surface-mine plan have criticised the company behind the proposals for lodging a formal bid in the face of 'overwhelming public opposition', claiming the scheme will destroy a Northumberland beauty spot forever.
Last week, the Gazette reported that Banks Mining had submitted a planning application to Northumberland County Council for its proposed Highthorn site, to the south-east of Widdrington.
The Durham-based firm says the development would create at least 50 new jobs, while 50 existing roles would be transferred from its current surface-mine sites elsewhere in the county.
Banks states that Highthorn would bring social and economic benefits, including The Discover Druridge project which aims to create an enhanced tourism offering and new wildlife habitats in and around the Druridge area and new footpaths, as well as wildlife and wetland habitats, would be among the improvements.
But opponents aren't convinced. A spokesman for the Save Druridge Group said: "We are disappointed that Banks has persisted with its planning application in the face of overwhelming public opposition.
"More than 4,250 people have signed a petition calling for Banks to withdraw the application, while a petition in support of the plans has just over 100 signatories.
"We believe that one of Northumberland's most accessible, open and beautiful areas will be spoiled forever should Banks' plans be approved. As well as being a gross intrusion in an unspoiled landscape, open-cast mining threatens the wide Druridge hinterland with noise, dust and light pollution.
"We believe the mine will have a substantial detrimental effect on all other economic activity in the area, especially the burgeoning tourism industry and the economic development of surrounding villages and towns such as Amble. This is on top of the threat to the birds, animals and plants that thrive at Druridge."
Banks says it has scaled back its formal application following public consultation. Among the changes, Banks says it has reduced the total amount of coal that it will be looking to mine to around three million tonnes and has moved the site further away from the south and east of Widdrington village.

Reasons to scrap your car

If you have a car that is unusable you need to either declare it off road or scrap it, otherwise your will continue to need to pay road tax on the vehicle.

Their slogan is the title of a Manic Street Preachers song, "If you tolerate this then your children will be next"; their membership is flourishing and their tactics are increasingly militant.
In the 18 months since Fathers 4 Justice was formed by Matt O'Connor, a marketing consultant, the issue of a father's right to see his child has been highlighted as never before. But the campaign group has become increasingly confrontational:solicitors have been bombarded with abusive emails, court offices stormed and judges visited at their homes leading to accusations from lawyers and ex-wives that the organisation has created an atmosphere of intimidation and fear.
While prominent members of the group defend these tactics, the truth behind many of the cases they publicise is more complex than their slogans suggest. Former wives and girlfriends who spoke to the Guardian described relationship break ups involving domestic violence, being forced to live in refuges and incidents in which their children witnessed frightening aggression by their fathers.
Mr O'Connor's ex-wife, Sophie, a primary school teacher who is now on good terms with her former husband, said: "There is always a story behind every case, every case is individual. Women have their own reasons for what they do, sometimes they have good reasons."
In Ms O'Connor's opinion the role of the law is to protect the woman and children when a relationship breaks down.
"Fathers 4 Justice suggest women should go to prison if they don't keep to the contact orders; that is just not going to happen. Like it or not women are the primary carers, I know that is not the popular view but it is generally true."
The case of Conrad Campbell is an example of the allegations and counter allegations, bitterness and anger which engulf relationship breakdowns and defy easy solutions. Mr Campbell joined Fathers 4 Justice out of desperation after losing contact with his child. "I went to prison for 84 days last summer just for texting my son because it was his birthday that week," he said. "She [the child's mother] said I was in breach of an injunction because I was trying to keep up contact with my son; that it was harassment and she was in fear of her life and I was sent to jail." He does, however, admit assaulting his partner and being sent on a programme to tackle his anger.
His ex-partner, who did not wish to be named, says she was the victim of a domestic assault by her child's father but despite this he was allowed contact with the boy after their break up. "He gave up his parental responsibility," she said. "This is what I cannot understand. He had access; he used to see him in a care centre. Then one time we arranged to meet and he tried to drag my son out of the car and smashed the door. Now he has got no access at all, he is not allowed it."
Flour bomb
Of all the demonstrations Fathers 4 Justice has carried out - from crane-top protests to the storming of court rooms -none has created more publicity than last Wednesday's flour bombing of the prime minister in the House of Commons. The men involved in these protests say on their website they try to adopt tactics which will make their children go, "wow, that's my dad". In reality the high-profile protests embarrass children and often frighten their mothers. "I wasn't surprised when I saw the House of Commons thing," said Ms O'Connor. "Matthew is a very active campaigner and his aim is to get publicity. But I think all children tend to be embarrassed by their parents and mine are at the age that they cringe when he gets on the television."
Another ex-wife described the tactics as "very childish". "They don't take anyone else's thoughts into consideration, so how can they expect us to believe they are doing this because they are thinking of their children? They act like boys who get angry and frustrated when they can't get what they want."
While the group is committed to non-violence its website contains an implicit threat: that if reform is not precipitated the organisation cannot guarantee that offshoots will not become more militant.
For lawyers in the family courts the tactics of Fathers 4 Justice are already too extreme. "There are sad cases of fathers who have been prevented from seeing their children, sometimes because they are being awkward, sometimes because of their partners being awkward," said one family lawyer. "But these men do not help themselves by joining this sort of paranoid organisation which adopts aggressive, intimidating tactics."
People who deal with women who have suffered violence at the hands of their partners believe the activities of Fathers 4 Justice obscure the truth about fathers' rights. "The whole thing is a bit of a myth," said Sandra Horley, the chief executive of Refuge.
"Figures last year showed the courts dealt with around 37,000 cases and men were refused contact in 650 cases, that's about 2%. So I think they have exaggerated this out of all proportion."
Mr O'Connor says the failure of the courts to uphold a man's right to see his child has caused membership to boom to 7,000 in the past year. And he promises more radical protests in the future.

Government Initiatives
Across British Columbia, at all levels of government, political leaders are taking action to balance economic viability with environmental responsibility.
A Green Leader
At the provincial level, British Columbia - the first jurisdiction in North America to have a 100 per cent carbon-neutral public sector - launched an aggressive Climate Action Plan to curtail carbon emissions. We've protected more than 13.5 million hectares (33 million acres) of wilderness - more than any other province in Canada. And we generate more than 90 per cent of our electricity from no-carbon or low-carbon sources.
Greenest city by 2020
At the civic level, Vancouver has an outstanding record of environmental leadership. Recent sustainability initiatives include a forward-thinking 2040 transportation plan to improve transit and cycling infrastructure; a water conservation TapMap app to raise awareness that drinking our water saves money, reduces greenhouse gases, and prevents plastic bottles from ending up in our landfills and oceans; and an integrated urban planning strategy to create vibrant mixed-use urban communities. In 2015, Vancouver has also implemented a 100% organic waste diversion by banning all organic materials from the landfill.
The City of Vancouver has vowed to be "the greenest city in the world" by 2020, and in 2010, launched a campaign inviting the public to share ideas about how to turn that vision into reality. This has resulted in the Greenest City 2020: A Bright Green Future plan to address Vancouver's environmental challenges. Through a set of measurable and attainable targets, we will put the city on the path to sustainability, and become the greenest city in the world by 2020.
Vancouver already has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions per person of any major North American city, but looking beyond 2020, the city has already set its eyes on a more ambitious goal. With the Renewable City Strategy, Vancouver will obtain 100% of the city's energy from renewable sources by 2050.

|This is The Hubs and I exhausted from our rough night with Kira.
In all the hard, exhausting, frustrating and down-right dirty moments of raising a puppy, there are really sweet moments tucked in between. This got me to thinking how this is a lot like life in general. There are so many crappy, tough moments and I have a tendency to just feel sorry for myself and focus on all the negative. I think about why things should go better for me and why bad things shouldn't happen to me. I love to have control and if it were up to me, my life would be all sunshine and roses. Well, I think God intentionally throws curveballs to show us that we are most definitely not in control! But, because he is such a loving father, he also, very thoughtfully places those sweet moments in there too!
I am a first time puppy mom and I knew it was going to be hard work, but it is way more work than I expected. I know that things will get easier, but until then I am going to soak in those sweet moments and also… work on my attitude!

Bishop's Blog
Revisiting McVeigh's Execution
I admit to a definite bias. I am convinced of the fundamental soundness of the "seamless robe argument," i.e. that the right to life applies in all cases, not just with respect to the unborn child.
However, the mettle of my conviction was tested as I reflected on the heinous crime of Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995, murdering 168 innocent people. How can anyone possibly take in the enormity of the pain and the loss of the families and friends whose loved ones, including small children, were victims of such twisted human madness? A part of me felt that McVeigh deserved to die.
Everyone agrees that crime deserves punishment in this life and not only in the next. But is capital punishment appropriate? If you ever could build a case for it, this seemed like a good one. However, I think that we have to back up a bit and look at the bigger picture.
Avery Cardinal Dulles recently outlined the four purposes of criminal punishment in general:
- Rehabilitation - The penalty should try to bring the criminal to repentance and to moral reform. Under certain circumstances this could lead to a return to normal civil life.
- Defense Against the Criminal - The government is obliged to protect society by preventing the criminal from committing additional crimes. For heinous crimes, the Church favours life imprisonment without parole rather than death.
- Deterrence - Punishment should discourage further violence and crime. We believe life imprisonment without parole does so.
- Retribution - Punishment should try to restore the right order violated by the crime. A criminal should pay a price for the offense committed. If possible, the victims of the crime should be compensated for the wrong suffered. This does not mean revenge.
The Cardinal also summarized four objections to capital punishment in our day:
- Wrongful Death - The possibility that the convict may be innocent is the more common reason for opposition to the death penalty. A significant number of wrongly accused criminals on Death Row have been proven innocent.
- Revenge not Justice - The death penalty seems to fan the flame of revenge (and violence) rather than foster a genuine sense of justice in society.
- Devaluation of Human Life - Capital punishment contributes dramatically to the devaluation of human life in an escalating culture of death.
- Incompatibility with Christian Forgiveness - While pardon does not remove the obligation of justice, capital punishment seems incompatible with the teaching of Jesus about forgiveness.
McVeigh was executed, despite receiving the rites of the Church in his condemned cell, with scarcely a public hint of repentance or apology.
After the execution many of relatives who watched it on closed circuit television talked about their disappointment, lack of satisfaction and even "being cheated." McVeigh's execution had further victimized them.
"Bud" Welch was not one of them. "Bud," the father of Julie-Marie Welch—who was one of the 168 persons murdered by McVeigh—publicly shared much of his grief and response to this terrible act of terrorism.
He acknowledged that the first five weeks after the bombing were a blur to him and he simply wanted McVeigh hanged. No trial was necessary. He was prepared to kill him with his bare hands if afforded an opportunity.
However, by January 1996, he was beginning to ask himself, "What is it going to do for me if McVeigh is executed?" He repeated the question for several weeks and kept getting the same answer: "His death won't help me one bit."
Although he experienced moments of incredible rage, he concluded that vengeance solves no problems. The criminal commits a violent act. Then we, as a society, ratchet it up; we do him violence. Next, we ask ourselves, "Why are we such a violent society?"
He no longer bought into the big fix that his government was going to fix McVeigh's horrible crime by causing more death in the name of justice. The main countries that have the death penalty are Libya, Iran, Iraq, China and the United States—not very good bedfellows. He hopes one day to be able to forgive McVeigh.
We must do everything that we can to support the victims of crime and their families and stand with them as they struggle to overcome their terrible loss and find some sense of peace. Nevertheless, we cannot teach that killing is wrong by killing.
We need to oppose capital punishment, not just for what it does to those guilty of horrible crimes, but for what is does to us as a society. The call in our own country, in certain quarters, for the restoration of the death penalty is short-sighted. It diminishes all of us and is a sign of growing disrespect for human life. We cannot overcome crime by simply executing criminals, nor can we restore the lives of the innocent by ending the lives of those convicted of their murders. The death penalty offers the tragic illusion that we can defend life by taking life. It simply doesn't work that way.

What Do You Think of "This Week In Android"?
For the past few weeks, we have been running a new column on the site entitled "This Week In Android" where we recount the most interesting news tidbits from the week in terms of software updates, new device announcements, and app updates. It was designed as a light recap of general news, to keep you up-to-date on the latest Android happenings, since we usually don't cover these in our regular posts.
However, we know that you, as an Android.Appstorm reader, come to us mostly — and almost exclusively — for our app and game reviews and roundups. That's why, after a few weeks of foraying into "This Week In Android", we'd like to know your opinion about the new column. Did it pique your interest, or were you skipping it as you prefer to get your Android news from other more timely and elaborate sources? Would you be more interested in a change of format that skips the device and software news to focus solely on app and game updates and releases?
Please take the time to vote and share your opinions in the comments below.

She wanted nothing more to do with standing in place just to see the red balloons fly by. Waking up in the earliest early morning just to stand around with people hardly smelling any better than her mother's laundry was not what she wanted out of the day. There were more things to think about than the psychopathic need to socialize with the one to many in a circle crammed together within a small square.
What could have been better than basking in the moldy sunlight whispering on skin ready to burn for more than eternity under its wings? Time would not pass fast enough for the moments imbibed with merriment and no useful cheer.
The pout on her face was buried under humanities need to feel special one days when there was nothing to feel worth for. The eventuality of the suddenly eventual superstition coming from a hive minded decision to please when there is no real need to please. What could have been better than to stand in place for mind numbing hours on end just to watch what would have happened on any other given day? What?
Opening up the heart to putrid smells of inhuman emotions to satisfy the inhumanity of man against men and women was the norm of the day. Many other things, works, frivolities could be accomplished, but no one seemed to have more than a care.
What should have been free was never enough. What could have been bought was not in the price range of a budget that never existed in the first place. This coming together to pretend that nothing has ever happened was not a believable ploy. This false enjoyment of what can be and what could have been blinds the rest from what will be.
During the openings, brief as they may be, a ray of darkness slips into the mortal coiled consciousness unable to break free. Tangled together without cause to share the shape lived in was the ultimate torture for one seeking release during a time of withheld freedoms and whims. Shackle the hand that feeds the masses and send them out to watch the red balloons fly into a sky no longer easily recognizable in the maze taken for granted.
Is that what this is all for? She asked around for no one to answer. There was no real need to move from the place she had stood hours on end with out the coming end in sight. What do you need to see anyway? She mumbles to herself knowing that everyone will hear her during the worse moment.
Would you? Really would you? Touch the one taboo that unwilling people see within themselves. In the projection that called life into matter, would it really need to be finite in the infinite consciousness before all that we stand for? Come around and see the corner bend toward a street no one walks.
Cross the crossroads and count to four. Holding your breath once in a while will help stop your beating head. Bang your heart on concrete trees and tear your feet on cool ice. Can that really happen when there is nothing that is real in this reality we call a life waiting around watching out for things that might not happen, happen? Think about it for a moment, she thought as she looked around a crowd contented with standing in place without the need to neither move nor speak.

Support Your Local Art Walk
Once a month several cities hold an art walk. Galleries stay open late and it's a fun opportunity to get to know local artists and where they show their work. My dear friend, Virginia, created an author series featuring head illustrations of Marquez and Bukowski. Her work and those of several others showed at the Hibbleton Gallery in Fullerton.
I had my nails done the night before and couldn't help but notice that the squares reminded me of frames. I like the idea of art outside the frame. Sometimes the best work is not done between the lines, but rather on the edge of it. I encourage you to check out your local art walk for a night on the town that will pique your interest and get you involved in the community. And check out your local nail artist as well. This set was done by Sherri Traweek.

Jeremiah 33:1-3 " Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying. Thus said the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name. Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not."
The scripture above shows us that God was speaking to Jeremiah while in prison. God saw that Jeremiah needed help but still asked Jeremiah to pray so that God can do something.We need to understand that the earth was given to man.
Ps 115:16 "The heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind." Man is responsible for the earth. God only intervenes in the affairs of man when we call upon Him. Heaven responds to what the earth determines. If the earth decides to do nothing, heaven responds the same. If we do something heaven responds likewise. Therefore don't sit and watch. You need to pray.Matthew 18:18-19 " Truly I say to you, Whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."
Dont sit down and just wish something good happens. Dont sit down and complain. God doesnt respond to any of these. He responds to prayers of His children.
The Book of Acts chapter 12 has a similar story. Acts 12:1-5″ About that time King Herod laid hands on some from the church to harm them. He had James, the brother of John, executed with a sword. When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter too. (This took place during the feast of Unleavened Bread.) When he had seized him, he put him in prison, handing him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him. Herod planned to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. So Peter was kept in prison, but those in the church were earnestly praying to God for him."
When James was taken the church did nothing, and the king Herod was able to kill him. When Peter was taken the church woke up and prayed and the king failed to kill him.
Additional scripture:James 5 : 16 "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."

Good afternoon!
It is Saturday, the sun is shining. I am in the mood for cake! So I make one – this simple, yummy layer cake with fresh strawberries.
I saw a picture a cake like this last week, in a magazine. It didn't include a recipe, but I thought: "If I were to make this, I would bake a simple sponge cake, cut it, and fill it with strawberries and whipped cream." Which is basically what I did – and it turned out really well. Here we go:
3 eggs, separated
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup sparkling water (or milk)
pinch of salt
1 pound fresh strawberries
3/4 cup whipped cream, very stiff
3/4 cup quark cheese
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, the sugar, and the butter. Whisk into a thick, yellow cream, until the sugar has dissolved.
In a second bowl, mix the flour, the starch, and the baking powder.
In a third bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt until very stiff.
Preheat your oven to 350° F.
Stir the flour mix into the yolk mix; then add the sparkling water. Lastly, add egg whites, stirring slowly. This should result in a nice, homogeneous batter. Pour into a (round) cake pan, and bake for about 30 mins., until the cake turns light brown and a tooth pick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool.
In the meantime, wash and slice the strawberries. Yummy! I have to admit I ate a few right away.
Mix the quark, the whipped cream, the lemon juice, and the sugar (add some more sugar if you don't find it sweet enought).
Now comes the tricky part: slice the cake, vertically. Slice it once, if you want to play it safe, or twice, if you like to take a risk. I attempted a three layer cake, so I cut it twice. And I have to admit I did mess it up a little, but the good part is: no one can tell once the cream mix and the strawberries are on top.
Finally, you guessed it, build your cake, in layers. Keep in a cool place until serving. Truly yummy!

November 2008: Alan Canfora extends his condolences to the family of Charles Fassinger who died November 22, 2008, at his home in Tennessee. Mr. Fassinger was being treated for leukemia but died in his sleep unexpectedly at home, according to his daughter Susan Crawford.
On May 4, 1970, Lt.-Col. Charles Fassinger was the highest-ranking uniformed officer on Blanket Hill at Kent State University when a different officer shouted the verbal command ordering Troop G shooters to fire 67 gunshots into a crowd of unarmed student anti-war protesters.
In recent years, Mr. Fassinger was the most visible spokesperson representing the guardsmen. Fassinger visited the campus & spoke casually with KSU students, professors and May 4 Task Force students.
Fassinger extended his hand to Alan Canfora on the KSU campus in April of 2007. On May 15, 2008, Canfora & Fassinger appreared together onstage at an educational forum in Columbus, Ohio, sponsored by the Ohio Historical Society.
Again, we had the opportunity to meet privately and speak cordially.
As I said to Mr. Fassinger at that time, I personally welcome the opportunity to meet any of the 1970 Kent State guardsmen, publicly or privately, to discuss truths of our tragedy of May 4, 1970.
Here in Kent, Ohio, we do not seek vengeance or retribution at this late date, we only seek the truth.
Hence, my own personal heartfelt sympathy is extended to the family of Charles Fassinger at this time.
--Alan Canfora, November 23, 2008.

The English Day 2013
On the 22nd of October our English teachers organized The English Day in our school. Students participated in a lesson which was led by Mr Bartosz Kusy from Pearson Education. We did a lot of English exercises and we found out about MyGrammarLab – an easy application which we can download onto our mobile phones and we can have a lot of English practice.
Next, eight groups of students from different classes participated in a competition. We had to answer 45 questions related to the lifestyle, culture, geography and history of English-speaking countries. Knowledge of songs, capitals, legends, famous people – everything was important. Afterwards, each of the groups presented their posters and gave a speech on the topic of 'English as a global language'.
The competition was well-organized. Personality, I found out a lot of interesting facts about English-speaking countries.
The winners of the English Day Quiz 2013 are:
1st – class 3e: Macuga Barbara, Tadla Adrianna, Cichocka Ewelina, Soboń Joanna
2nd – class 2f: Dec Łukasz, Musz Małgorzata, Kudła Katarzyna, Majchrowicz Agnieszka
3rd – class 2d: Olszańska Jagoda, Bortnik Klaudia, Łoś Katarzyna, Walter Miłosz
CONGRATULATIONS to all participants 🙂

Kansas City, Missouri
July 14, 1916
Today I saw Captain William H. Gregg at Police Station No. 4, at Fifteenth and Walnut Streets. He is a Turnkey or Jailer there.
Captain Gregg told me that his uncle, Dr. Josiah Gregg, the author of The Commerce of the Prarie, graduated from some Medical College in Philadelphia with honors. He was a great favorite with the officers and teachers of teh college. After his graduation, and when he was almost ready to start home, he was taken sick. He was quite ill, and the professors all came in to see him. But none of them could tell what he was sick of. His disease baggled then all, and he did not improve under their treatment. In fact, he became worse from day to day. He felt that he could relish a toddy and was premitted to have one. Ten minute after he had swallowed it he broke out thickly with measles. He always believed that but for this drink of toddy his didease would never have developed and he would have died.
Gregg remembers his famous uncle very well, and says he was a very quiet, studious man. He was a fine mathematician and was well informed in astronomy and had a classic education which he got for himself without the aid of a college, his medical education being all that he obtained from any institution of learning. He was a mechanical genuis, also, and could design and construct delicate mechnisms, as clocks, surgical insturments, etc. He was of a determined will. He was not an enthusiastic man in temperment, but a desidn once formed was

SERIES: Reign and Ruin #2
PUBLISHER: This Thistle Press
GENRE: NA Fantasy
SOURCE: Author
LINKS: Goodreads | Book Depository
LINKS: Goodreads | Book Depository
Cirrus wears the crown. Nightmares are behaving strangely. And in the hidden corners of the Middle Canvas there are secrets far more dangerous than demons. Gun. Politics. The Riders. Maggie is the Daughter of Palet—weapon of the rebellion—but the Reign Walk is not easily forgotten. When given the opportunity to join the fight, she throws herself where even Lucan isn't able to follow. She is back. She has returned. And Cirrus knows he can never let her out of his sight again. But in the new household of the king, whispers spread like spark over tinder. Is Maggie a spy or a lover? Or can she be both and still accept his darkness, his dreams and his soul?
The Reign Walk is over and—although it didn't go as expected for our heroine—Maggie is with the Riders, so how could things possibly get worse? One thing the world of Palet taught us is that safety is overrated and nightmares are always on the horizon...
It's never only black or white in Palet, there's not a simple way to discern between good and bad, and you may very well struggle to just love or hate a character. It's with this inner battle that you keep turning page after page, and it's with passion and excitement that you ask yourself: who the bloody hell is the real villain? I dare you to stick with one answer through the end. Same challenge applies to the beautiful duo: the King or the Rebel? I know the majority is with Lucan, but I believe this instalment gives the readers the chance to see Cirrus under a different light—oh boy!—and perhaps helps Maggie to clear some of her own doubts... Can she do that before the mission she's on goes too far?
Darker than the first instalment, this book makes for a wonderful read also thanks to Jules Hedger's writing, which is kind of poetic and quite unique. I'm in love with the fantasy world she has created, the characters she has portrayed and the mystery and unexpected turn of events you can be sure to find every time. After the last chapter, I can barely stand to know what's next!

The decision to join Beth Israel is as unique as each of our members. Here's one congregant's story that expresses what many of us feel about our "home away from home":
I could say that Beth Israel feels like home to me because my family have been members for generations and because I have been a member there since before I was born. But that would be a lie.
It's because of my children. It's because THEY feel so at home there. Especially my son. When he was little, he was painfully shy and found it terribly difficult to be among large groups of people. Just getting him to school every day was a struggle. But he always felt comfortable at the BI. Other than his own home, the BI was the one place on Earth where he felt most relaxed, most at ease, and most able to just be himself. Because of that the BI truly became our second home, and we would not trade it for anywhere else.

Sea Otter
Basic Facts about Sea Otters
The heaviest members of the weasel family, sea otters are also the second smallest marine mammals. Unlike other marine mammals, they do not have a layer of blubber to help them keep warm. Instead, sea otters have the densest fur in the animal kingdom, ranging from 250,000 to a million hairs per square inch, which insulates them.
Sea otters are a keystone species, meaning their role in their environment has a greater effect than other species. As predators, sea otters are critical to maintaining the balance of the near-shore kelp ecosystems. Without sea otters, the undersea animals they prey on would devour the kelp forests off the coast that provide cover and food for many other marine animals. Additionally, sea otters indirectly help to reduce levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, a prevalent greenhouse gas, as kelp forests play an important role in capturing carbon in coastal ecosystems
Sea otters eat urchins, abalone, mussels, clams, crabs, snails and about 40 other marine species. Sea otters eat approximately 25% of their weight in food each day to support their high metabolism.
Historically, sea otters numbered between several hundred thousand to more than a million. But due to the fur trade, worldwide numbers plummeted down to a total of 1,000-2,000 in the early 1900s. Today, there are estimated to be just over 106,000 worldwide, with just over 3,000 in California.
Habitat & Range
Sea otters live in shallow coastal waters off the northern Pacific. Their historic range stretched from Japan, along the coast of Siberia and the Aleutian Chain and down the Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California coast to Baja California. Currently sea otters can be found in Canada, Russia, Japan, California and Washington, but the majority of all wild sea otters are found in Alaskan waters. Recent reports of sea otter sightings have also occurred in Mexico.
In the U.S., there are two distinct sea otter subspecies, the Northern sea otter (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) and the Southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis). Northern sea otters are found in the Aleutian Islands, Southern Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington. Southern sea otters, also known as California sea otters, live in the waters along the California coastline and range from San Mateo County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south.
Sea otters spend much of their lives in the water and can dive up to 330 feet when foraging for food. They sometimes rest in coastal kelp forests, often draping the kelp over their bodies to keep from drifting away.
Sea otters are also one of the few mammals other than primates known to use tools. They use small rocks or other objects to pry shellfish from rocks and to hammer them open.
Mating Season: Throughout the year
Gestation: 6-8 months
Litter Size: Generally one pup, but sea otters can give birth to twins
You may also be interested in:
Length: California sea otters grow to about 4 feet; Northern sea otters are slightly larger.
Weight: With California sea otters, 45 lbs (females) to 65 lbs (males). Northern sea otters can reach up to 100 pounds.
Lifespan: 10-15 years (males); 15-20 years (females)

It is said coaching is the next best thing to playing but William Maher had little choice in the matter.
Dreams of a long and distinguished hurling career with Tipperary were destroyed in February 2002 when Maher's left eye socket was smashed in a freak training ground accident at UCD.
But rather than dwelling on his misfortune, Ballingarry native Maher took his life in new directions.
It was while studying for a Higher Diploma in education at UCD when Maher sustained his serious injury and he soon decided that secondary school teaching wasn't for him.
Maher rang former Tipperary captain and current Dublin selector Richie Stakelum and found out that he was a sales manager with pharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb.
Maher found employment there before moving on to Amgen, a leading biotechnology company, with whom he remains to this day.
He's married to Linda (nee Caulfield), the former Ireland ladies hockey international team captain who retired with 151 caps.
There's a baby on the way and Maher is preparing the Tipperary minors for Sunday's Electric Ireland All-Ireland minor hurling final against Dublin at Croke Park, just like he promised.
Maher smiles: "It's wicked exciting. It's where you want to be, it's where young fellas want to be. They want to be going to Croke Park and that's what I said to them in January in Cashel.
"I said 'you want to be on this bus because this bus is going to Croke Park.' We are there now."
Croke Park on All-Ireland final day isn't uncharted territory for Maher, either. In 1996, he captained Tipperary to All-Ireland MHC final glory from midfield and victory on Sunday would see him join a select band of men who have won All-Ireland medals both as a player and manager. And with more wisdom than most, he can stress the importance of grabbing the chance that presents itself.
He says: "Everything in life is about the now. It's not about looking back, it is very much about looking forward. These young lads in Tipperary are in a very fortunate position to be playing in an All Ireland minor final. I think they all realise that, they come from a huge spread of clubs and there are different types of guys from different areas in Tipperary. They realise where they are, it's a fantastic opportunity but the mantra we have been trying to drill into them all year is to focus on the next game."
Shay Boland will occupy the opposition dugout as Dublin boss but his fondness for Maher is obvious. In 2008, a mutual friend and former St. Kieran's College schoolmate of Maher's suggested to Boland that he should consider the Tipperary man as part of Dublin's backroom team.
And Boland recalls: "I duly met Willie, he got involved, he was fantastic and we got on very well. We didn't have much luck that year but here we are four years later!"
And Boland has been impressed with Maher's progression in the coaching stakes since. Maher, a brother-in-law of Eoin Kelly, was a member of Ken Hogan's backroom team in 2010 when Tipp won the All-Ireland U21 title before taking over from Raymie Ryan as minor team manager after the 2011 campaign.
"Willie's a great man-manager, has a great hurling brain and a great personality. He has everything you need in somebody looking after a team. He's well organised and knows what he wants to do. He's done a great job with these lads too," praised Boland.

Dear SEC Commissioners,
Please do not give in to industry pressures on Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Act (the Cardin-Lugar Amendment) - and make sure that ALL companies are covered, every country and every project gets reported, and loopholes that would allow large sums of money to go unreported are closed.
My Comment:
A country's resources and the ability that they give to empower the local people and the country as a whole should remain in the country and not at the discretionary power of corporate industry to fully control leaving the rich richer and poor poorer. Corporations have the responsibility to uphold civil justice and not to procure benefit at the expense of human lives. In Section 1505, please follow the language of the law, maintain America's leadership on transparency, and other countries will follow. Exemptions to Section 1504 will make the law ineffective. Please continue to be leaders that value the worth of people and self sufficiency of nations. The poorest of the poor need a strong voice - who will give it?

Returning Fletcher nets twice in Sunderland romp
Steven Fletcher marked his return from injury with two goals as Sunderland recorded a 5-1 win in their pre-season opener at Darlington 1883.
The Scotland international played only 45 minutes at Heritage Park on Saturday, but left a telling impression after missing the closing months of last season with an ankle injury.
Sunderland's opener came in the 13th minute, Fletcher finding the net following good link-up play from Duncan Watmore and trialist Max Clayton, whose contract at Crewe Alexandra has expired.
Darlington had looked threatening during the early stages, but it was only a matter of time before Sunderland's top-flight superiority shone through and a second goal swiftly followed.
Fletcher, whose last outing came against Crystal Palace on March 15, doubled his tally by tapping in George Honeyman's low delivery.
Billy Jones was the only one of Sunderland's new signings to start, but fellow close-season arrivals Costel Pantilimon and Jordi Gomez emerged from the bench at half-time as head coach Gus Poyet made wholesale changes.
Sunderland extended their lead a minute after the break as Emanuele Giaccherini slotted home following Connor Wickham's backheel, while the latter netted the fourth with an emphatic finish in the 70th minute.
Gary Brown pulled one back a few moments later from inside a crowded area, but Sunderland restored their four-goal cushion in the closing stages as debutant Gomez drilled in from 20 yards.
