Mediocre buffet setting. Food served was cold, way too salty and nothing out of the ordinary. "Fruit" salad floating on ice was less than delectable. Not worth the trip. Should have gone elsewhere where we could have better meals with the same view.

We had our team building lunch buffet hoping to satisfy our insatiable appetite for good food. But we were disappointed. Most of the food were salty. Aside from the average taste of the food, the choices were very limited. Good that they have a good view of Taal, to compensate the bad food. I hope the management will do something... More
My friends and I opted to go for their lunch buffet special for 395 pesos given that there is no leftover. As the other reviewers have already mentioned, there was nothing really special about the food options in the buffet. It was just the typical carinderia standard food like inihaw na tilapia, salad that are soaking in ice water, and... More
We celebrated Mother's Day this year at Josephine's Restaurant. We had lunch and whole lot of fun with the family. Since that day is special many trooped to Tagaytay and in this particular resto was so busy that day. Lucky us, we are early after the Sunday mass we sent straight here. We were seated right away and we were... More
I used to look forward to eating at Josephine's when Tagaytay wasn't restaurant infested years back. It was that or Mushroom burger for me. Too disappointed with everything. If you are looking for Filipino food, LZM would fare better. Even Max restaurant would be a better choice!
Went here to try their Buffet. I was not really expecting anything and BOOM ambiance was not as good as their ala carte sitting. Monoblock chairs and tables with a cheap cover but I can lived with that. I'm more concern on food on their buffet... Interesting variances but BBQ always ran out. I don't know if its just me......

We went here last weekend for the lunch buffet. They have enough choices but we were disappointed since the food they served didn't consist of anything special. The food served was just ordinary. I guess we should have gone for ala carte instead since we found out later on that the prices in their menu were reasonable. Anyway, it was... More
I used to look forward to having Sunday buffets at Josephine's during my younger days but stopped frequenting the place for quite sometime when newer restaurants mushroomed in the area. Last Sunday, I went back with my daughters to Josephine's, anticipating that they will have the same grilled items for their lunch buffet, the way they used to. But, the... More
Felt cheated. Went there for their lunch buffet. As per advertised picture, were expecting shrimps (sugpo) and grilled squid. Nada. The selection was bad. No beef, just grilled pork chop and tilapia. The soup was never replenished. Not a good showcase of Filipino food to foreign friends.
My boyfriend and I had lunch here and fortunately, it was not that jam-packed when we arrived. No staff greeted us so we, ourselves, have to approach them for us to be able to be seated. The usherette asked where we prefer to sit and because we like to have some view of the Taal Lake, we opted for the... More

§ Earl Bathurstrose to introduce a bill for regulating the ordination of persons designed to perform clerical duties in the colonies. The noble earl referred to the discussion on the subject which took place some time ago, when it appeared that considerable irregularity prevailed in the appointment of persons to discharge clerical functions in the colonies. It had been the practice for the bishop of London to ordain persons for the colonies, but that practice, though it had long existed, and was, from the necessity of the case, continued by the bishops on their own responsibility, was, according to the opinion of the crown lawyers, illegal. One of the disadvantages of this system was, that no means existed of compelling the persons so ordained to exercise their clerical functions in the colonies, while their residence or return to this country produced a superabundance of candidates for clerical duties. The wants of the colonies too, as to religious instruction, were, in consequence of this state of things, very imperfectly supplied. To remedy this evil, it was proposed by the bill to vest the power of the ordination for the colonies in the archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the bishop of London. Provisions were introduced to secure the object of the ordination, and to prevent persons who might be very proper for communicating religious instruction in the colonies, but less suited to that duty here, from availing themselves of the character they had acquired, to enter on the care of souls in this country. If residing in colonies where there was a bishop, it would be required of them, on their return, to produce a certificate from him, or from the governor of the colony, of their good conduct. Regard must also be had to ability, as well as character, for such a duty; and it was therefore proposed, that persons so returning should not be permitted to accept the cure of souls in this country, without the permission of the bishop of the diocese. By acts passed in the present reign, bishops duly consecrated were appointed to Canada, Nova Scotia, and Calcutta. These bishops possessed the power of ordination within their dioceses. It was, however, very improper to allow all the individuals ordained in the colonies, purely for domestic purposes, to come and officiate in this country. It was therefore provided, that no charge intrusted to such persons should be left with the view of leaving the settlement, 802 without the previous consent of the bishop of the diocese. That permission would of course be produced here, before authority could be obtained to assume the cure of souls in this country. Connected with this part of the bill, was a clause relative to converted Roman Catholics. At present persons of that religion who had received regular ordination, on acknowledging the errors of the church of Rome, were entitled to act as Protestant clergymen. It did not appear proper that the refuse of the church of Rome should be so readily admitted into the church of England. It was therefore proposed, that they should not be allowed to exercise spiritual functions, until they obtained the permission of the bishop of the diocese in which they might happen to reside. Thus the church of England would still be open to such persons, while security for their character and fitness would be given. Another object of the bill was, to provide that the bishops of Canada, Nova Scotia, and Calcutta, should not continue to ordain after leaving the sees to which they were appointed.
§ The Bill was read a first time.

Keith Olbermann's gloves come off
By Matea Gold
Times Staff Writer
November 27, 2006
SECAUCUS, N.J. -- The Democrats may have wrested back control of power in Congress, but that hasn't quieted the ire of Keith Olbermann.
Last week, he delivered one of his trademark blistering critiques of the country's leadership — this time charging that President Bush failed to learn the lessons of Vietnam by perpetuating the "monumental lie that is our presence in Iraq." And don't think the victors of the midterm election are going to escape his sharp tongue.
"If the Democrats don't undo a lot of the things that have been done, like the Military Commissions Act and many of the other infringements on freedom, as I see it, there will be a special comment with their name on it," Olbermann vowed on a recent afternoon, wearing a crisp, striped shirt and suspenders, his large frame hunched over his desk at the cable news network's Secaucus headquarters.
The 47-year-old broadcaster's "special comments" are not a regular feature on "Countdown With Keith Olbermann," the dramatically intoned, fast-paced mélange of politics and pop culture that he has anchored since 2003 and that recently emerged as MSNBC's top-rated show. (The newscast airs at 5 p.m. on the West Coast, with a repeat at 9 p.m.)
But Olbermann's occasional soliloquies — typically a no-holds-barred excoriation of the Bush administration — have dramatically elevated his profile in the last several months, especially in the liberal blogosphere, and helped drive up the ratings for the third-place cable news network.
The longtime sportscaster, who doesn't vote and eschews any political identity — "I may be a Whig, possibly a Free-Soiler," he quipped — has nevertheless become an unexpected folk hero for the frustrated left. One woman approached him in a New York restaurant recently and burst into tears as she thanked him.
"People just think, 'He speaks for me,' " said Jane Hamsher, a Mill Valley, Calif., author who runs a liberal blog at firedoglake.com. "There was no resonance within the media for their perspective, and suddenly Keith came on the scene and gave voice to these long-simmering feelings of disgust with the war."
Olbermann said he never set out to court disaffected liberals.
"But there's a time when what you're covering ceases to look like news and begins to look like history," he said. "And you say, well, it doesn't matter how people might brand me or respond to this — I feel as if something very important is not being said."
It's perhaps a sign of the recent shift in the country's political mood that his message has translated into ratings.
"Countdown's" audience has grown by 21% this year compared with the same point last year, while its cable news competitors have lost viewers at that hour, according to Nielsen Media Research.
With an average nightly viewership of 464,000, Olbermann lags far behind Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, whose audience has averaged nearly 2.15 million viewers this year. But the MSNBC host is creeping up on second-place CNN. In October, "Countdown" edged out "Paula Zahn Now" by 11,000 viewers.
His gains come as all of MSNBC's ratings are on an upswing, a fact that has triggered no small amount of jubilation at the perpetually last-place network.
"MSNBC is now a player in the competitive world of cable news in a way that we have not been for many, many years, and that's a really big deal," said General Manager Dan Abrams, the network's onetime legal affairs anchor who was tapped to run the channel in June.
Abrams said MSNBC is finally finding its identity, which he described as "NBC News' younger brother or sister."
"It doesn't mean the older sibling is more intelligent or better at what they do," he added. "It just means they've been doing it longer. We may be a little brasher, a little more petulant, but we are one family."
Election coverage
Abrams credits Olbermann with a large share of the network's recent success, so much so that he paired the longtime ESPN host with Chris Matthews to anchor the network's election night coverage — potentially risky, considering Olbermann's outspoken political views.
"Anyone who watches what Keith did on election night can't possibly suggest that he was cheerleading for the Democrats," Abrams said.
MSNBC more than doubled its viewership compared with the 2002 midterms. And its share of the cable news audience in prime time also increased, from 15% four years ago to 25% this year.
Olbermann is negotiating a new contract with MSNBC; his current one expires in March.
"It is, to some degree, a perfect setup," he said of his relationship with the network. "They leave me alone, I leave them alone, and I deliver what they need, both in terms of journalism and the money end of it, the ratings."
As his profile has risen, so has criticism of his provocative style. This summer, amid an on-air feud with O'Reilly, he addressed a gathering of television critics by donning a mask of the Fox News host and giving a Nazi salute.
A network spokesman said the gesture was intended as a satirical comment.
Robert Cox, who runs Olbermann Watch, a critical blog that monitors the cable news host's comments, said that Olbermann employs some of the same tactics that he decries.
"I think at the end of the day he has, by and large, become that which he has criticized — a demagogue like Bill O'Reilly," said Cox, a management consultant in New Rochelle, N.Y.
Olbermann rejects the comparison.
"I'm not trying to whip up a political frenzy," he said. "If I was out there every night beating people over the head with this, I would become a Rush Limbaugh. That's not my goal. I don't make the facts up to fit the political viewpoint that happens to parallel what it is I'm trying to express."
A longtime sportscaster who first got a show at MSNBC when he joined NBC Sports in 1997, Olbermann devotes nearly the same amount of time on "Countdown" to the tabloid stories, such as the latest Tom Cruise gossip, as to stories about Iraq.
When he's not lecturing Bush, he wears a perpetually amused expression on the air and casually tosses papers off his desk.
He said he doesn't vote because he doesn't want to be accused of having "a horse in the race." But he decided to give an on-air commentary last year after Hurricane Katrina, outraged by the lackluster federal reaction.
"We went on the air with it on Monday and got a response, and management was in here on that Tuesday saying, 'Could you do that on a regular basis?' " he recalled. "And I said, 'No, I have no intention of doing that on a regular basis.' "
The urge to speak out struck him again in late August, ashe sat on a plane on the runway at LAX and read an account ofa speech in which Secretaryof Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld equated critics of the Bushadministration to Nazi appeasers.
Response to Rumsfeld
Infuriated, he spent his flight scribbling out a response in which he compared Rumsfeld's attack on Bush's opponents to the way Neville Chamberlain attempted to marginalize Winston Churchill in the run-up to World War II.
"Dissent and disagreement with government is the life's blood of human freedom and not merely because it is the first roadblock against the kind of tyranny the men Mr. Rumsfeld likes to think of as his troops still fight this very evening in Iraq," he wrote in the essay he delivered that night on the air. "It is also essential, because just every once in a while it is right, and the power to which it speaks is wrong."
His commentary was downloaded more than 300,000 times from the website Crooks and Liars, with liberal bloggers tagging it Olbermann's "Murrow moment."
When the cable host participated in a live chat at firedoglake.com this month, he was peppered with gushing messages, including one from former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, who thanked him for "all you are doing to reenergize the fourth estate and its role to be a skeptic of authority."
That includes the new Democratic leadership in Congress.
"They're serving as a balancing factor, a check and a balance against anybody being carted out of Gitmo without a hearing," Olbermann said. "But that's an interim measure. We have to do things to protect the Constitution.
"And if they don't," he added in a mock stentorian voice, "damn it, I will!"

The article's reference to the "Nazi salute" is more accurately the "American salute" as it was created and popularized by national socialists in the USA where it was used for three decades before, and through, the creation of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
The USA originated Nazism, Nazi salutes, flag fetishism, robotic group-chanting to flags, and the modern swastika symbol, as shown in the research of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry. The bizarre acts in the USA began as early as 1875 and continued through the creation of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (German Nazis or NSGWP). The NSGWP had clear roots in National Socialism promoted by socialists in the USA. Amazing graphic images that prove the point are at http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html
The USA is still the worst example in the world of bizarre laws that require robotic chanting to a national flag in government schools (socialist schools) every day for 12 years. It has changed generations of Americans from libertarians to authoritarians. The government bamboozled individuals into believing that robotic group-chanting in government schools is a beautiful expression of freedom. Frightening photographs are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html - November 28, 2006 at 1:44:00 AM MST

« Romney Versus the Ruthless Obamanauts |
| Does Pres. B.O. understand that "twin plants" have created prosperity on the U.S.-Mexico border? »
Lethal terror bombing of Israeli touristsOn the 18th anniversary of Iran's terrorist attack on a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina that killed 85 people, the Islamic Republic of Terrorism has apparently struck again. On Wednesday, a bus about to transport a group of Israeli tourists after their arrival at the airport in Bulgas, Bulgaria, exploded killing at least six and wounding dozens of others -- many of whom were teenagers. Television images of the scene showed smoke billowing up from the bus that was apparently targeted by a bomb planted before the Israelis boarded. While Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu called the atrocity an "Iranian terror attack" and promised a tough response, the lives of the innocent Israeli youths cannot be brought back and the horror of the atrocities will be forever etched in the memories of the survivors and all of the victims' families. But this is nothing new for Israelis and despite the United States allowing Israel to be excluded from its feel good but accomplish nothing Global Counterterrorism Forum, Israel faces more terrorist attacks from Islamist extremists, Palestinian nationalists, and enemies far and wide than any other country in the world. This most recent deadly attack follows the arrest earlier this week of a Hezb'allah operative in Cyprus, the result of which likely thwarted a similar murderous rampage. In an interview with AP, counterterrorism expert Boaz Ganor concluded that Iran and Hezb'allah were likely responsible for the deadly attacks. He surmised that "This is probably a parallel operation and likely not the last in a series. All this looks like Hezbollah, Iran or a combination of the two." Netanyahu also noted that similar attacks or attempted attacks have occurred in recent months in India, Georgia, Thailand, Kenya, and Cyprus with "all signs point[ing] to Iran." But from the perspective of the world's leaders and in particular, the Obama administration, it makes sense to isolate Israel further through exclusion from the GCTF, single her out as the sole impediment to peace in the region, treat her democratically elected leaders as pariahs while making ridiculous claims that the Muslim Brotherhood is moderate, and inviting Egypt's new extremist leader to the White House for more niceties and lavish praise (in the face of his ridiculous claims of ownership of Jerusalem and threats to gut the decades old Egyptian/Israeli peace treaty). When was the last time a bus carrying Palestinian youths on vacation was blown up? When was the last time Egypt or Turkey or any of the other Mideast Islamist governments faced attacks from crazies like Iran's Ahmadinejad who promise to wipe them off the face of the map? And yet, Hillary Clinton, the woman who years ago warmly hugged Suha Arafat, wife of Palestinian murderer, Yassir Arafat, was pictured with big smiles earlier this week chatting away with Egypt's new President and Muslim Brotherhood leader while he asked that the U.S. release the mastermind behind the first World Trade Center attack, Sheik Abdel-Rahman. Following her meeting with Morsi, Clinton met in Israel with Netanyahu, where she was the one asking for favors -- Israel should release more terrorists from prison in order to further along the administration's failed peace process. This administration is clueless -- but it is also dangerous. It is dangerous to every American's national security and it is dangerous to every Israeli and Jewish person's safety abroad. For as long as the U.S. continues to lead from behind, allows Iran to pursue nuclear weapons, and empowers the world's terrorists in the face of shrinking American power in the region and across the globe, blown up buses of Israelis and Americans will become common place. This is not to say that such atrocities have not occurred under prior U.S. governments for unfortunately they have. And this is not to say that even the superhuman Barack Obama can stop global terrorism. But what he can do is bring Israel back into the fold of the civilized world and make it clear that the United States is her strongest ally just as she is our strongest ally in the region and arguably the world. What is seriously lacking from the present U.S. government is leadership and resolve and Iran knows this well, just as it realized that there was little leadership and resolve under Jimmy Carter. My heart goes out to the victims' families as it went out to the 9/11 families. This devastating attack should be a reminder to all that the Big Satan and Little Satan are integrally tied together in the eyes of the Muslim world whether the current administration likes it or not. Iran is an evil empire and it is time to end its reign of terror. |

Duration: 1 Hour
As part of Design Week Birmingham, the Museum presents a special tour of its exhibition Vanguard Views. Experimental artistic practices in the early 20th century reflected an era of new experiences. Soaring skyscrapers, zooming motorcars, and electric streetlights transformed cities and extended life. Improved communication, travel, and mechanized production of affordable commodities provided more convenient ways of life. This fast-paced urban experience inspired avant-garde artists to develop visual languages that communicated energy, simplicity, and functionality. Subsequently, this modernist aesthetic easily translated into the design of mass-produced wares, collapsing distinctions between high art and everyday objects. Vanguard Views explores how these unprecedented forms of visual expression rewrote the rules of artistic practice by creating a living art that transcended traditional boundaries. |

Curse of the Ghoul
What's On Tap: Very lo-fi, primitive deathish/blackish/punkish EP...
Fu-gly (fug'le) adj. 1. fucking ugly.
Curse of the Ghoul is f-u-g-l-y. This EP embraces repulsive elements in its tentacles, spews heavy tar on it, and hammers it into your ears behind a rusty railroad spike. Whether or not that's something you look for in your music is obviously up to you to decide. Personally, I enjoy it, as it fully embodies the guttural hatred I so often feel for my fellow man, and actually helps me vent said frustrations when I listen to it. Healthy for me, and therefore healthy for those in my immediate vicinity.
What I found particularly interesting about this EP, however, is the fact that much of the material on display didn't actually remind me of the traditional primordial/lo-fi metal I think it was actually intending to pay homage to. Strange? Yep, but regardless, nearly half of this little EP - particularly the title track and third cut, "Long Dead Fuck" – actually made me think I was listening to an incredibly muddy, live bootleg of Unsane, Jesus Lizard, or even Scissorfight, with a vocalist that basically eats the goddamned microphone at times instead of singing into it. But fans of the above-mentioned bands should be forewarned as well, because Curse of the Ghoul also throws a heavy nod towards classic primitive/minimalist records of yore, such as Von's Satanic Blood Angel or Beherit's Drawing Down the Moon, particularly on the last two tracks. In all honesty, it's the material laid down on "Death, Black and Formless" and "As Below, So Above" that I sincerely hope the band focuses their future efforts on, as they both spotlight in earnest what might be the prize swine in the Deadhole sty; the bloody drummer. Both cuts also throw in some nice thrashy guitar elements to further spice things up, even going so far as to end the EP on a classic "Am I Evil"-esque march.
If I had to change just one thing about Curse of the Ghoul, I'd tap the vocals down in the mix a bit and ask for a little more vocal-vomit range here and there, but beyond that I'd say this devilish brick serves its master pretty damned well. At less than 15-minutes long, the EP offers up only a teensy taste of fetid, primordial deathish/punkish music, and whether or not it should land in your 'to-buy' pile simply depends on how badly you need your next fix. Oh, and from what I understand, the image on the cover of the record can also be found on the top of the vocalists' head. Beauty.

Saying "the evidence does not support approval of the rate increase requested in the filing," the Division of Insurance turned thumbs down to a 18.8 percent rate hike.
Instead, employers would see no rate change this year.
In its filing nearly six months ago, the Workers' Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau of Massachusetts acknowledged it was seeking a "significant" increase in average rates, but said rates have not increased in more than a decade. "Our inability to obtain any rate relief in recent years has unfortunately made a large increase necessary this year."
The change was requested to take effect Sept. 1.
The regulators heard from the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents, the Building Trades Employers' Association, the Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts, the state Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, Risk Metrics Corporation, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Associated Industries of Massachusetts, and the Charter Group of Insurance Companies.
The state's attorney general had alternately proposed a rate decrease of 8.5 percent. Regulators said there was insufficient evidence to support either a rate increase or decrease at this time.

DICE's Matros & Enekull Talk Battlefield 3, the Beta, Servers & Karaoke Written Monday, October 03, 2011 By Dan Webb View author's profile | |
Yes, I said karaoke… I mean, we were in Japan, after all, so how could we conduct an interview without some karaoke themed question? The answer is simple. We couldn't and so we did. Karaoke aside though, there was a point to catching up with DICE at the Tokyo Games Show this year… we wanted to get the skinny on what they thought regarding the disparaging remarks made about the console demo at Gamescom, as well as finding out whether the beta is essentially a glorified demo and of course, we find out how DICE intends to tap into that Call of Duty market. Join us then as we talk Battlefield with DICE's Global Community Manager, Daniel Matros, and DICE's Marketing Manager, Gustav Enekull. Stick around till the end… it's a real hoot!! Battlefield 3 is scheduled for an October 25th, October 27th and October 28th release in North America, Europe and the UK respectively. |

Overall we enjoyed our stay but some things could use a little updating. The sofas were very uncomfortable and seemed out of place in thie beachy enviroment. The bed in the Master bedroom was almost impossible to naviagate, a higher step stool was necessary. The house has a large wrap around porch but lacked a dining table and chairs. However despite these items the house is comfortable, large and very clean. The kitchen was well equipped and all the rooms are very spacious. We were happy to be able to bring our dog and the location is perfect.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

CENP-C Is a Structural Platform for Kinetochore Assembly

► The amino-terminal part of the centromeric protein CENP-C binds kinetochore proteins ► The CENP-C's N-terminus is sufficient to recruit KMN proteins even to ectopic sites ► The expression of this fragment of CENP-C in culture cells leads to mitotic defects ► In mitosis, CENP-C functions as a linker between centromeres and kinetochores
Centromeres provide a region of chromatin upon which kinetochores are assembled in mitosis [1, 2,1, 2]. Centromeric protein C (CENP-C) is a core component of this centromeric chromatin [3, 4,3, 4] that, when depleted, prevents the proper formation of both centromeres and kinetochores [5,6,7,8,9,10]. CENP-C localizes to centromeres throughout the cell cycle via its C-terminal part [6, 8,6, 8], whereas its N-terminal part appears necessary for recruitment of some but not all components of the Mis12 complex of the kinetochore [8]. We now find that all kinetochore proteins belonging to the KMN (KNL1/Spc105, the Mis12 complex, and the Ndc80 complex) network [1] bind to the N-terminal part of Drosophila CENP-C. Moreover, we show that the Mis12 complex component Nnf1 interacts directly with CENP-C in vitro. To test whether CENP-C's N-terminal part was sufficient to recruit KMN proteins, we targeted it to the centrosome by fusing it to a domain of Plk4 kinase [11]. The Mis12 and Ndc80 complexes and Spc105 protein were then all recruited to centrosomes at the expense of centromeres, leading to mitotic abnormalities typical of cells with defective kinetochores. Thus, the N-terminal part of Drosophila CENP-C is sufficient to recruit core kinetochore components and acts as the principal linkage between centromere and kinetochore during mitosis.

Christian band vs. Rossford Schools: Agreement ends legal action, but not controversy
Even after the lawyers have gone home, the debate will go on about how the controversy - and expense - over Rossford schools' refusal to allow a Christian rock band to perform at school got so out of hand.
Parties on all sides of the two-year-old dispute have different views about how and why Superintendent Luci Gernot made her decision to cancel a December, 2004, concert by Pawn Musical Ministries and whether the band itself became a pawn for others seeking to inject Christianity into a public school.
Some also wonder why a split school board agreed last week to a settlement with the band when it won its case in federal court.
U.S. District Judge Jack Zouhary sided with the school district on July 31, saying it had the right to prohibit the Christian band from playing because of a "realistic danger" the school could be seen as endorsing a particular religion.
"I thought, like many other citizens have told me, that the case was settled by Judge Zouhary's decision," said Joseph Minarcin, Jr., a school board member who voted against the settlement presented to the board Wednesday.
School board President David Kleeberger, one of three board members who voted for the agreement and the father of a Pawn band member, said the school district's legal bills, which already have topped $150,000, would have multiplied if it had to defend itself against Pawn's appeal in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
"We go to Cincinnati. It may have very well [led to] a jury trial," Mr. Kleeberger said. "What would that have cost our community and for what? Because of something somebody might have said? It certainly is a shame we spent all this money on this. All we had to do was talk to these fellows."
In September, the board agreed by a 3-2 vote to do just that.
With some help from a court mediator, attorneys and representatives of both sides worked out a settlement they say will end the mounting lawyers' bills and put the debate to rest.
"We're happy. The band is happy. I think for all practical purposes it serves its purpose," said Brian Hughes, a school board member who helped negotiate the settlement.
On Friday, Judge Zouhary signed a consent decree that vacates his earlier decision and clarifies the school's right to determine what manner of speech is appropriate in its classrooms and assemblies.
The order also dismisses all claims against the school board and Ms. Gernot and directs the school board to modify district policy by Jan. 1, 2007, to say that school officials may not "disfavor or discourage" a school-sponsored publication or event on a suitable topic because of the speaker's reputation for holding or advocating a particular religious belief.
"It's a delicate balance for any public school system to honor separation of church and state but still not discriminate against people of faith," Mr. Hughes said. "I think it's important that we maintain that balance and not let the pendulum swing in either direction, and I think this consent agreement does that."
In a written statement, the board went on the record saying it and its legal counsel acknowledge that the anti-drug, anti-alcohol assembly planned by Pawn "would not have violated any law, policy, or guideline." As part of the settlement, though, Pawn agreed to drop its request to play at Rossford High School during school time - something it previously said had to be part of any settlement.
Pawn member Mark Justice Montgomery said the settlement was not about the band, but about the principle it was fighting for.
"So much negative publicity has happened ... emotions would run high and the community does not need that," he said in an e-mail. "Not playing a concert is one way Pawn can help the healing."
It was just over two years ago that then-Rossford High School students Timothy Strausbaugh and Kyle Kleeberger approached Principal Ronald Grimm about their band, Pawn, playing a concert at school. Because Kyle Kleeberger's father was on the school board, Mr. Grimm suggested Kyle have his father contact him about the idea.
David Kleeberger at the time managed Pawn. He said he asked Mr. Grimm what kind of theme the assembly would have and Mr. Grimm left it up to him.
Mr. Kleeberger said he determined the band should play a secular set with secular lyrics and an anti-drug and anti-alcohol theme. He sent an e-mail to band members Dec. 9 telling them a Dec. 21 concert at the high school would be "an anti-drug show. Travis [Montgomery] will handle the short talk directed at Just Say No," the e-mail stated.
He said he also repeatedly asked school officials to view the secular lyrics the band would play.
Just when the anti-drug theme was decided remains in dispute, but Ms. Gernot insists that was not the information she was given when she initially gave her OK to the concert.
"When I was asked about this - and this was before any attorneys were involved - this was an idea for a band to play in front of their peers," Ms. Gernot said. "At the time, I didn't know they were called Pawn. I was told it would be nice for the self-esteem of the members of the band."
Initially, she said, she didn't have a problem with the idea even when Mr. Kleeberger e-mailed her about Pawn being a Christian band. She said she changed her mind after learning the band had a strong ministerial mission.
"The more I learned about this band, the more uneasy I was about having them play," Ms. Gernot said.
The superintendent's opinion - that Pawn should not play at school during instructional time - was affirmed by two lawyers. She said she felt even stronger about her decision after Mr. Kleeberger made statements about the need for religion in schools.
According to minutes of the board's Dec. 20, 2004, meeting, Mr. Kleeberger spoke on behalf of Pawn. He talked about how the U.S. military "sends out chaplains to the battlefield," how "God's in the President's" life and in "the President's prayers."
"The President asked us for prayers; he asked us to pray for the troops," Mr. Kleeberger told those at the school board meeting.
He closed by saying: "What I'm trying to do is open religious thought to schools."
Ms. Gernot said that a few days before the board meeting a national news network had wanted to interview her and Mr. Kleeberger about the controversy. She said he told her it could be a chance for the two of them to "bring religion back into the schools."
Ms. Gernot said she was "speechless" after hearing him say that.
"I don't know if there was a religious agenda here," she said last week. "All I know is what I had to do."
Mr. Kleeberger, who stepped down from his role as Pawn manager after the controversy heated up, said last week he did not want to see prayer or religious instruction in public schools, but he also did not want to force students to check their religion at the door.
"Religious thought should be allowed to be in school," he said last week. "How can you leave your faith at the door when you walk in school when you really believe?"
He said public schools can either sanitize every aspect of what they do so that there is no religious thought or they can be open to all viewpoints.
As for his comments to Ms. Gernot about bringing religion back into schools, he said what he wanted to do was get rid of the idea that Rossford schools are against Christians.
He referred to Atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair, a former Rossford High School student who filed a lawsuit against Baltimore public schools that later led to the 1963 Supreme Court ruling outlawing prayer in schools.
"I'm not saying put prayer back in schools, but we could eliminate this idea that we're against Christians," he said.
Cincinnati attorney Thomas Condit, who represented the band free of charge as an affiliate attorney for the Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties organization based in Charlottesville, Va., defended Mr. Kleeberger's statements.
"His statement about wanting to bring Christianity back into schools was very clear that what he was advocating was equal access for all religious groups, not just Christians, that religion itself had a place in the schools," he said.
"Religion can't be favored or disfavored," Mr. Condit added. "It's not like a poison that has to be kept out of the school."
The Rev. Mark Montgomery, a Methodist minister and father of Pawn band members Travis and Mark Justice Montgomery, insists religion in school was never the issue. The issue, he said, was the rights of religious people in school.
"This band has always agreed it would be inappropriate for a religious program to happen in school," Mr. Montgomery said. "This has always been about one group of students having the same opportunities as other students."
Mr. Condit said the dispute might never have gone to court if it weren't for the school's decision to allow Blind Ambition, a band with no religious mission or reputation, to play at the assembly where Pawn had been booked.
"That really triggered the constitutional issues," Mr. Condit said.
However one views the band's or Mr. Kleeberger's intentions, a majority of the five-member Rossford Board of Education clearly has a different perspective than it did two years ago.
Voting in favor of the settlement were the two board members who took office Jan. 1, Brian Hughes and Diane McKinney, and Mr. Kleeberger, who has been criticized for voting on such issues because his son is a member of Pawn.
Michael McAlear abstained from voting on the settlement, he said, because he didn't want any appearance of a conflict of interest. His son played in the now-defunct Blind Ambition band.
Mr. Minarcin voted no. He said he still believes Ms. Gernot made the right decision, and, as he pointed out before the vote was taken, he felt the matter should be decided at the board's regular monthly meeting tomorrow, not at a special session called at the last minute.
"I'm not happy," Mr. Minarcin said. "This is something I didn't believe in. I just wanted it to go down the road in the appeals court."
In a statement, the board expressed hope the settlement would help the community heal, put an end to the legal bills, and clarify the school's right to decide what takes place at school, and at the same time treat students "with strong religious identities fairly."
The board said the legal battle could have been avoided "had the recent dialogue taken place prior to, rather than after, the controversy traversed the courthouse steps."
Mr. McAlear, who opposed the board's decision to enter into settlement talks, allowed that talking might have helped avert the legal battle. "We are always a lot clearer in hindsight," he said. "I think you can always avoid conflict with more communication than less."
Mr. Kleeberger said he tried repeatedly to get the board and superintendent to sit down with band members before the lawsuit was filed in February, 2005, by band members Robert Golden, Mark and Travis Montgomery, and Timothy Strausbaugh. He said he tried to get them to look at the lyrics the band planned to sing, the words they planned to say, and make a decision based on those facts. They didn't listen, he said.
As for her part, Ms. Gernot said Judge Zouhary's July 31 decision affirmed her decision and she stands by it. She chose not to take part in the settlement talks between the band and the board and said Friday that she had not yet discussed the agreement with them.
"Someone asked me one time, 'Wasn't that a difficult decision to make?' I said, 'No, but it's been time-consuming to defend,'•" she said.
"It's very unfortunate that all of this happened," Ms. Gernot added. "Lots of time, lots of money, and lots of diversion - a lot was diverted from the students."
Mr. Hughes said he remains skeptical about the $90,000 legal bill from the Akron law firm of Whalen & Compton. The board has asked its new attorneys, Robison, Curphey & O'Connell of Toledo, to examine those fees to make sure the board was not overbilled by Whalen & Compton or billed by the firm for work performed by Toledo attorney Fritz Byers, also hired by the board. Mr. Byers' fees were $53,900.
"We have reason to believe it's a worthwhile pursuit to investigate these billings," he said, referring to Whalen & Compton's billings, which do not list billable hours. "We are pursuing it, and it may turn up nothing, but for the little money it would cost us to do a little extra investigation I think it's worth it to the taxpayers."
Although the Rutherford Institute provided free legal services to Pawn, Mr. Montgomery said band members plan to try to raise $15,000 over the next two years to donate to the institute in gratitude. He said things turned out well for both sides.
"Nobody in Rossford wants to say religious kids can't do what other kids do," Mr. Montgomery said. "This was just a great thing for beloved kids to do in a school they cared about."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS Dubai puts a different slant on the Olympic motto of citius, altius, fortius. Development was dynamic, the bust was bigger, as was the bail-out, and the towers are taller. Now, in the wake of Monday's opening of the Burj Khalifa, rising more than 800 metres over the desert floor, the emirate awaits the arrival of Haile Gebrselassie, fastest man in the world at the longest race. Inside a decade, the upcoming Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon (January 22) has gone from a backwater event to one of the world's fastest races. That says race director Peter Connerton is thanks to several factors. "Standard Chartered coming in as title sponsor half a dozen years ago put us on a firm basis, and Dubai Holding putting up a million dollars prize money (with a $1m bonus for a world record) two years ago helped us to get Haile on board." "Not only has he given us two great races, the publicity has helped our development. Our participation has doubled since his first run two years ago. I never used to see people running in the street, now I see folks training everywhere." "We're delighted that he's coming back again, and hopefully it'll be third time lucky. He went too fast in the first half two years ago, and ran the second fastest in history at the time (2.04.53), and last year the bad weather ruined his record attempt. But he still ran the eight fastest marathon (2.05.29)". Principal opponents this year, Sammy Korir (2.04.56), Tesfaye Tola (2.06.57) and Joshua Chelanga (2.07.05) will hardly be heartened that, despite approaching his 37th birthday (April 18), Haile's speed does not appear to be diminishing. Evidence of which was victory in the New Year's 8k Silvesterlauf in Trier, Germany, in 22.23. If the men's race turns out to be a procession, headed by Gebre again attacking his 2.03.59 world record, the women's event threatens to be highly competitive. It features winners from the last three years, Bezunesh Bekele (2.23.09), Berhane Adere (2.20.42), and Askale Magarska (2.21.31, all of Ethiopia). Bekele disposed of Adere in short order in last year's race (2.24.02 to 2.27.47), and the 26 year old has asked for a pace to deliver her to a sub-2.20 clocking, which if successful would see her replace the veteran Adere as national record holder. With last year's third placer Helena Kirop of Kenya, and two more Ethiopians, Genet Getaneh and Eyerusalem Kuma, all of whom beat Adere in 2009, this will be the race to rank alongside the record chase. ###

"I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I'll be voting for Senator Barack Obama," Powell said.
And frankly, it was in the period leading up to the conventions, and then the decisions that came out of the conventions, and then just sort of watching the responses of the two individuals on the economic crisis. It gave me an opportunity to evaluate their judgment, to evaluate their way of approaching a problem, to evaluate the steadiness of their actions. And it was at that point that I realized that, to my mind, anyway, that Sen. Obama has demonstrated the kind of calm, patient, intellectual, steady approach to problem-solving that I think we need in this country.
And we have got to say to the world, it doesn't make any difference who you are or what you are, if you're an American, you're an American. And this business, for example, of the congressman from Minnesota who's going around saying, "Let's examine all congressmen to see who is pro-America or not pro-America" -- we have got to stop this kind of nonsense, pull ourselves together and remember that our great strength is in our unity and in our diversity. And so, that really was driving me.
So, yes, that kind of negativity troubled me, And the constant shifting of the argument. I was troubled a couple of weeks ago when in the middle of the crisis, the [McCain] campaign said, "We're going to go negative," and they announced it, "We're going to go negative and attack [Obama's] character through Bill Ayers." Now I guess the message this week is, "We're going to call him a socialist, Mr. Obama is now a socialist, because he dares to suggest that maybe we ought to look at the tax structure that we have."
That says it all...McCain has lost genuine Republicans and lost people who really care about the nation.

When: Mar. 7, 2013, 7:30pm - 8:30pmCampus Location: Marjorie Barrick Museum / Harry Reid Center
Office/Remote Location: Auditorium
Join the College of Liberal Arts in the University Forum Lecture, "Sex for Sale" a talk by Graham G. Priest, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, The Graduate Center, City University of New York.
In Western cultures it is widely held that prostitution is immoral and ought to be illegal. Are such views justified? There are arguments for them that come from a variety of perspectives: religious, historical, sociological, psychological, legal and ethical. In this talk, Dr. Priest will examine some of these arguments and show that none of them vindicate the belief that prostitution is immoral or show that it ought to be illegal.
This event is free and open to the public.

Mauro Gomez, Gwinnett
.520/.556/.880, 6 G, 13-for-25, 3 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 6 R, 2 BB, 5 K, 2 SB
Gomez, a 26-year-old first baseman, has been a consistent force for the G-Braves in his first Triple-A season. He ranks fifth in the International League with 21 homers, fourth with 70 runs scored and second with 234 total bases in 127 games. He led Gwinnett to a 5-1 record this week with hits in each contest and multiple hits in four games. The Dominican-born Gomez capped the week by homering in back-to-back games over the weekend and went 4-for-4 against Norfolk on Sunday, finishing a triple shy of the cycle.
Pacific Coast League
Efren Navarro, Salt Lake
.593/.633/1.185, 7 G, 16-for-27, 3 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 6 R, 3 BB, 2 K, 0 SB
A 50th-round pick out of UNLV in 2007, Navarro is having a career year in his first Triple-A campaign. The 25-year-old first baseman is riding a 10-game hitting streak during which he's hit .525 with four home runs and seven multi-hit outings. He kicked off the week by collecting three hits in each of his first three games -- on Tuesday he went deep and drove in four runs, while on Wednesday he missed the cycle by a longball. After generating "just" four hits in his next three games (three of them for extra bases), Navarro went 3-for-4 with a solo blast Sunday.
Eastern League
Jeremy Hazelbaker, Portland
.444/.483/.815, 7 G, 12-for-27, 1 2B, 0 3B, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 3 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 4 SB, 1 CS
Hazelbaker got off to a slow start after being promoted to Double-A in mid May, batting just .209 in his first 12 games. The 24-year-old outfielder has adjusted well to the Eastern League in the months since, however, and is batting .349 with five home runs in 21 August games. A fourth-round pick out of Ball (Ind.) State in 2009, Hazelbaker went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI against Harrisburg on Monday before going 1-for-8 in his next two games. When the Sea Dogs headed to Reading for four games in three days, the Indiana native's bat reawakened with two homers, two singles and five RBIs on Thursday, a solo shot on Friday and four singles in seven at-bats as Portland split its Saturday doubleheader against the R-Phils.
Southern League
Rebel Ridling, Tennessee
.520/.533/.840, 7 G, 13-for-25, 5 2B, 1 HR, 11 RBI, 5 R, 3 BB, 6 K
Oklahoma native Rebel Ridling is wrapping up his first Double-A campaign with a monstrous August in which he's batted .378/.438/.695 with six homers and 22 RBIs in 23 games. The first baseman ranks third in the Southern League in both hitting (.311) and OPS (.896) and leads the Smokies in most offensive categories. He opened the past week with a homer, two singles and four RBIs against Chattanooga, then reeled off three consecutive two-hit games while driving in six more runs. Ridling added three doubles over the weekend as Tennessee -- first-half champs in the Southern League's North Division -- drew within one game of first-place Chattanooga for the second-half title.
Texas League
Tim Wheeler, Tulsa
.387/.441/.742, 7 G, 12-for-31, 2 2B, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 9 R, 3 BB, 9 K, 1 SB, 1 CS
Wheeler, a first-round pick out of Cal State-Sacramento in 2009, has discovered his power stroke in his third year as a pro. After going deep just 12 times in the homer-happy California League last season, Wheeler leads the Texas League with 32 longballs (and 101 runs scored) in 130 games. The 23-year-old center fielder has also stolen 19 bases, good for eighth on the circuit. He earned his third Player of the Week nod of the season this week with four multi-hit games. The left-handed hitter scored in six of his seven games and delivered an extra-base knock in five.
California League
Gary Brown, San Jose
.567/.606/1.033, 6 G, 17-for-30, 4 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 10 R, 3 BB, 1 K, 2 SB, 2 CS
Another first-round Draft pick having a remarkable season, Brown ranks fourth in the Cal League with a .334 batting average, leads the league in triples (12) and ranks second with 49 stolen bases and 104 runs scored. The 22-year-old center fielder, who was a 2011 All-Star Futures Game selection, notched his second Player of the Week award with 17 hits, 12 RBIs and 10 runs in six games. He had at least three hits in four of the games and delivered a remarkable 5-for-5 performance against Stockton on Thursday in which he homered twice, doubled twice, scored five times and plated four more runs.
Carolina League
Carlo Testa, Wilmington
.476/.560/.762, 5 G, 10-for-21, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 4 R, 4 BB, 5 K, 1 SB
Wilmington outfielder Carlo Testa is concluding his first Carolina League season on a high note, batting .386 with four of his six home runs coming in 19 August games. Neither earthquakes nor hurricanes rattled the 24-year-old as he went 8-for-13 in three games between Thursday and Saturday and homered in both games at Salem over the weekend. Testa has scored a run in eight of his last 10 contests.
Florida State League
Jon Talley, Dunedin
.467/.467/1.133, 4 G, 7-for-15, 1 2B, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 6 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Before this year, Talley had not hit more than six home runs in any of his first four seasons as a pro. The first baseman has popped 17 for Dunedin in 2011 and went deep in three consecutive games this week, then went 3-for-4 on Sunday. Despite playing in just four games, the 22-year-old Californian drove in 12 runs -- six of them against Daytona on Friday night. Talley slugged a grand slam and a two-run double as the Jays dismantled the Cubs, 16-3. Talley's surge has helped the Blue Jays take a 2 1/2-game lead in the FSL North Division with eight games to play.
Midwest League
Oscar Taveras, Quad Cities
.581/.606/.968, 7 G, 18-for-31, 4 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 6 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Taveras, the Cardinals' No. 2 position prospect, missed a good portion of the first half of the season with a hamstring injury. When he's been able to play, however, he has hit at a torrid pace. His .381 average would lead the circuit by nearly 50 points had he the at-bats to qualify, and with 59 RBIs, he is just three shy of the River Bandits' club lead despite playing 39 fewer games than teammate Jonathan Rodriguez. This week he collected four hits twice, three hits three more times, and went 3-for-3 with a homer, triple and four RBIs on Sunday as the Bandits topped visiting Burlington, 10-6.
South Atlantic League
Emilio King, Lexington
.556/.613/1.000, 7 G, 15-for-27, 6 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 5 R, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 SB
After hitting .169 in 24 July games, the 22-year-old King has rebounded to post a .325 mark in August, boosted by a tear that saw him double in six of his seven games this week. The right fielder went 5-for-5 with a homer, double and three RBIs against Asheville on Wednesday. Putting an 0-for-4 outing on Thursday behind him, King roared to life again as the Legends traveled to West Virginia over the weekend, going 7-for-11 with another homer and three doubles in three games. He missed completing the cycle by a triple on both Wednesday and Saturday and fanned in just one of his seven outings.
New York-Penn League
Maikel Franco, Williamsport
.429/.478/.667, 5 G, 9-for-21, 5 2B, 6 RBI, 3 R, 2 BB, 1 K
With the Crosscutters trying to nail down a playoff berth -- they trail Auburn by three games in the Pinckney Division and Brooklyn by a half-game for the wild card with seven games to play -- it was a good time for infielder Maikel Franco to return to the club. After playing 17 games for Class A Lakewood, Franco (who turned 19 on Friday) was back in the Williamsport lineup Wednesday and immediately doubled twice and drove in a pair of runs. He collected three hits on Thursday and went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and three RBIs Sunday as the Crosscutters crushed State College, 13-3.
Northwest League
Ben Thomas, Salem-Keizer
.583/.586/.792, 7 G, 14-for-24, 2 2B, 1 HR, 10 RBI, 4 R, 3 BB, 6 K
Thomas, a 34th-round pick out of Xavier (Ohio) in this June's Draft, hit .346 with the Arizona Rookie League Giants before joining the Volcanoes earlier this month. The 22-year-old first baseman hasn't missed a beat, batting .321 with 17 RBIs in 22 Northwest League games. He opened the week with four consecutive multi-hit games, including a 4-for-5 performance against Vancouver on Tuesday that saw him plate four runs and miss the cycle by a triple. Though his bat cooled off somewhat, Thomas still drove in a run in each of his next three contests before going 2-for-4 against Boise on Sunday.
Appalachian League
Eddie Rosario, Elizabethton
.462/.563/1.154, 7 G, 12-for-26, 3 3B, 4 HR, 10 RBI, 12 R, 6 BB, 4 K, 2 SB, 1 CS
The short-season Appalachian League only has so 11 weeks in its campaign, so it seems almost unfair that Rosario has collected his third -- and second consecutive -- Player of the Week award. The 19-year-old outfielder went deep four times to take over sole possession of the Appy League home run lead and now paces the circuit with nine triples, having added three this week. (In both cases he surged past teammate Miguel Sano, who was a Player of the Week earlier this month.) Rosario homered twice and drove in five runs Thursday, then went 6-for-9 with a longball, two triples and three RBIs in two weekend games. He missed the cycle by a double Sunday.
Pioneer League
Kevan Smith, Great Falls
.480/.519/1.000, 7 G, 12-for-25, 5 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 5 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Smith, a former quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh, played a dominant 26 games for Bristol in the Appalachian League to start the season before heading west. After a slow start, the backstop has adjusted nicely to the Pioneer League and now owns an 11-game hitting streak during which he is hitting .550 with nine doubles and 12 RBIs. Smith had at least one extra-base hit in six of his seven games this week and went deep in back-to-back games on Wednesday and Thursday for his first longballs as a Voyager.

Shots fired after brothers stop car burglary in process
St. Louis did not make a good impression on a pair of brothers driving through the city on a road trip.
The two men say they their car was broken into. Around 3 AM the pair from Michigan decided to park their car and walk to the Arch to get some pictures. As they returned to their car, they saw two men in the car. The suspects ran out of the car and into their own vehicle. As one of the brothers tried to write down their license plate, a suspect fired several shots into the air. One of the bullets hit a window in the nearby Hyatt Hotel. No one was injured.
The brothers say the suspects stole a cell phone charger, wallet, and computer.
Illinois state employee fired over pornographic images
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Officials say a state employee was fired after an investigation found he had taken sexually explicit photos and a video of himself at work and emailed inappropriate images.
The Illinois Executive Ethics Commission reported Friday that the Illinois Department on Aging fired John Hastings in December. Hastings was responsible for authoring computer code and inputting data for agency programs.
An executive inspector general's investigation found 225 pornographic images on his state computer. There were 13 explicit images and a video of a man identified as Hastings.
The heavily redacted report indicates Hastings took at least some of the photos at work and sent an inappropriate image to a female co-worker.
The report says Hastings acknowledged the wrongdoing. A phone number could not be located for him
