Bygone Days: First election
The first election in McKeesport was held in September 1842 with the polls open for only five hours. The population was 400. It was held in the old Diamond School House, First Ward at Sixth Avenue and Market Street. A copy of the first charter was sent to the printer by city clerk James E. Crossland and no doubt would prove to be interesting reading. The first burgess was James R. Hendrickson.
The charter follows without change of any kind:
"Charter of Borough of McKeesport, Granted 1842 to the Honorable Benjamin Patton, Jr., President Judge and Hon. Hugh Davis and Hon. John M. Snowden, His Associates, Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions of the County of Allegheny.
"The petition of the undersigned, who compose a majority of the freeholders residing within the limits of McKeesport, which is in Versailles Township, Allegheny County, humbly represent that they are anxious that the town of McKeesport should be incorporated into a borough, to be known by the name and style of 'McKeesport,' in conformity with the Act of Assembly of the first of April Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and thirty four, and your petitioners further beg leave to represent that the village of McKeesport has been laid out for forty years, and upwards, and contains about four hundred inhabitants, and your petitioners labor under great inconvenience from want of uniformity in streets, the erection of buildings without regard to regularity in their location: and sundry other impediments to its prosperity which your petitioners are of the opinion would be remedied by incorporating the same. The description of the boundaries of McKeesport is as follows, namely:
Beginning at the mouth of the Youghiogheny River, thence up said river to the line of Samuel M. Rose's land, thence by land of said Rose, North seventy-nine and one-fourth degrees east seventy-one and one-half perches to the line of James Evans' land, thence by land of said Evans and Robert Sinclair, North ten and three-quarters degrees west one hundred and seventy-eight perches to the Monongahela River, thence up said river to the place of beginning."
(Endorsed) No. 13, March term, 1842. Petition for the incorporation of McKeesport into a borough — The Grand Jury have had the within petition under consideration and find that the provisions of the law have been complied with and certify that the prayer of the petitioners ought to be granted."
Another charter, enlarging the powers of the borough authorities, was granted in the 1870s, and a third charter in 1891, when McKeesport became a city.
If McKeesport contained 400 people in 1842, population figures showed an average yearly increase of 501 through 1924. Census figures gave McKeesport a population of more than 46,000 by 1924.
It is noted that the petitioners spoke of undesirable street and building lines. No doubt they attempted to correct these evils in that respect. Present conditions show that they failed in numerous instances.
This election was held for the passing of the petition, with no candidates involved.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs set single-game attendance record at Salt River Fields in win over Dodgers
The Arizona Diamondbacks took down the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-1 Sunday afternoon and in the process set an attendance record at Salt River Fields.
The team announced that 12,809 fans came through the turnstiles at Salt River Fields Sunday setting a single-game record in the stadium's brief three-year history. The previous record was 12,799 set last year on March 31 vs. the Dodgers.
"Once again, we're seeing incredible crowds at Salt River Fields and we expect it will carry over to Chase Field," said D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall in a press release. "Arizona is the center of the baseball world and there is a lot of excitement surrounding the team right now."
Sunday's sellout marked the seventh time in 12 games this spring the team has played in front of a packed house at Salt River Fields.

Paris Commune
West Village
- $$
Time Out says
Posted: Wed Feb 24 2010
Paris Commune upsized to a bigger space in 2004, and the updated dining room is a lovely mix of city chic and bistro charm: atomic starburst chandeliers, leather banquettes and wall ledges that hold clusters of black-and-white photos. The menu is stocked with satisfying, if not entirely original, bistro standards: At least four entrées, including the special, arrived with the same mashed potatoes and braised baby vegetables. Pork tenderloin is dressed in a pungent, cornichon-studded red-wine sauce. Filet mignon is dressed in a red-wine syrup that veers dangerously close to dessert territory, balanced by the salty funk of Gorgonzola cheese. The kitchen oddly seemed befuddled by eggs—frisée aux lardons was topped with a sadly overcooked poached egg—but regained its footing for dessert: a dark, intense pot de chocolat.

Silvio Berlusconi, notorious scandal-loving Italian PM was left with two broken teeth and a fractured nose last night after being hit in the face by a duomo-wielding prostester.
Greeting supporters in a square in Milan, the 72 year-old declared himself to be "good-looking" and "a decent chap", right before getting it square on the nose by a statuette of Milan's cathedral, much to the delight of one hand-clapping onlooker seen in this vid.
One Italian commentator insightfully observed "he looks a like a pizza!" Poor chap.

Early last month, a report came to several community agencies stating there had been an apparent eight drug overdose deaths in seven days in Maricopa County.
At first, Mesa Fire Department Capt. Forrest Smith said that figured made him stumble. But then, looking at recent calls to the department, he said, it unfortunately made sense.
"It's something we've been seeing for a long time," he said.
In fact, the numbers are a bit more alarming. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health reports there were 13 probable heroine-related overdoses and six other apparent drug overdoses not directly tied to heroin in a 30-day-period, ending Oct. 26.
Smith said the fire department is making one to two calls daily on apparent overdose situations. There was a 100-plus pound seizure of heroin by law enforcement officials in one stop this summer. And then, there are the pleas for help coming into drug prevention and rehabilitation organizations.
There are no patterns. The suspected overdoses cross all lines of ethnicity, location and finances, officials said.
"There's the overmedication you have with the accidental overdoses on prescription medications. The other thing is the overdose of prescription medication such as OxyContin that we're seeing among teens, preteens and young adults," Smith said.
OxyContin or oxycodone is a prescription pain reliever. Just this week there was a report of someone walking into a Gilbert pharmacy and demanding OxyContin after indicating he had a gun. According to Gilbert Police, the man was given an undisclosed amount of OxyContin and fled the store.
"And then there's your straight heroin overdoses," Smith said. "This has no social-economic lines."
There have been clusters of deaths the past few years, said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, a public health physician with the county. When that happens, it raises a flag that there is a "bad batch" or "extra pure" heroin floating around. The county is still awaiting confirmation through toxicology reports.
"Any time we see a cluster of deaths associated to anything, we have to investigate," she said.
Stephanie Siete, director of community education for Mesa-based Community Bridges, said her organization is also seeing or hearing similar stories. Community Bridges offers prevention and rehabilitation programs in the Valley.
"Currently heroin is a high school drug of choice. We're seeing it earlier. It's prevalent. That might contribute to why we're seeing an increase of fatalities. It's younger users. It's potent. It's available."
Siete pointed out that in 2007, 105 pounds of heroin were confiscated at the border. In June of this year, law enforcement found 103 pounds during one stop in Arizona.
"We're not shocked people are dying of this," she said. "It's just now it's being reported."
The fact is, Siete said, a teenager "just experimenting" with heroin puts his or her life in danger because the drug has become that potent.
"You have a good chance of killing yourself the first time you touch it," she said.
But it's not just young people. The suspected overdoses crossed all ages, she said.
So Siete, Smith and others in the health arena are trying to get the word out to parents, families and community leaders. Anyone who suspects drug use in a loved one should start asking questions.
"Yes, it's happening," Siete said. "But there is opportunity to save lives as long as you know what to look for and get resources."
Community Bridges can be contacted at (877) 931-9142.

Placer Gold Mining on McDame Creek in Northern British Columbia
Where are we?
Holloway Bar is located on McDame Creek in Northern BC's beautiful Cassiar Mountains. McDame Creek is where one of BC's largest solid gold nuggets (73 ounces!) was found in 1877 - just downstream from our Holloway Bar project.

I spotted this duo's unauthorized and very dangerous method of travel while waiting for the traffic light to change at the old Skeena River bridge a few years back. Many of us grew up reading tales of the desparate measures taken by many just to survive during the years of the great depression and travel by hopping a freight train was a cheap (free!) method of transportion for many who needed to move throughout the country. Now we just see this as outright dangerous and whether or not these two made it to their destination without a major run-in with the CN police will forever remain a mystery!. Travel was a major dilemma to the early gold seekers as well, but there are still no freight trains running to the remote northern areas where dreams of fortunes to be lured many in search of a new future. But access to the Cassiar gold fields in the 1800's was probably more dangerous that hopping a modern-day freight train. One route taken by many was to travel up the BC coast by ship into port at Wrangell, Alaska, at the mouth of the Stikine River. Then it was a journey up-river to Telegraph Creek where the journey took them over land by trail to Dease Lake where the water journey could continue. After travelling the 30 km length of Dease Lake on the water, the miners could at least "go with the flow" as the Dease River waters now flowed north, eventually taking them to the mouth of McDame Creek and beyond.

Former Pro Bowl offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie is traded to Miami. Dolphins desperate to improve sagging line Jason Cole
Desperate to improve their offensive line play, the Miami Dolphins acquired former Pro Bowl left tackle Bryant McKinnie from Baltimore on Monday. The Dolphins offensive line has dealt with inconsistency all season long, allowing 26 sacks in seven games during a 4-3 start.
McKinnie is expected to take over for right tackle Tyson Clabo, who has played poorly all season. However, the Dolphins could put McKinnie at left tackle and shift second-year man Jonathan Martin back to right tackle.
The problem for the Dolphins may be keep McKinnie focused on his job. McKinnie, who was a first-round pick in 2002, has developed a well-known reputation in Miami for hitting the clubs. McKinnie played at the University of Miami. Over the past several years, he has been trying to start a music business. He has also been sued by numerous creditors whom he has borrowed money from.
McKinnie also was kicked off the 2009 Pro Bowl roster after partying to much in South Beach and missing practices. McKinnie played well last season during Baltimore's run to the Super Bowl title, but has generally seen his play fall off in recent years despite his immense talent.

Alabama Power employees chip in for two local charitiesPublished 8:22pm Saturday, December 22, 2012
For two local charitable organizations, the Christmas season became a little brighter when the Alabama Power Service Organization delivered a gift.
Last week, the organization provided a $500 donation to the Selma Area Food Bank and another $500 donation to the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program.
"There is a need throughout the year and this donation will help us provide help to our partner agencies," Selma Area Food Bank director J.D. Parks said. "I would estimate this $500 donation will help us provide 10,000 meals to those who need it the most."
As for the Salvation Army, the $500 donation went directly to those who needed help providing a Christmas to their children.
"We can't thank the Alabama Power employees enough for chipping in for our Angels," Salvation Army Major Mary Welch said. "Thanks to their contribution — and the generosity of so many in Selma — we have been able to provide Christmas for all of the Angels who registered."
Latonia Tisdale, chapter president of the Alabama Power Service Organization, said the 30-plus member organization helps different charities each year.
"When our Alabama Power customers come in our office and they see the M&M sales, and the Snicker sales, they will know that this is what all of that money goes to," Tisdale said. "We are happy to be able to help these two organizations and really hope to raise even more money next year."

Efficacy & Safety Study of Oral Aripiprazole in Adolescents With Schizophrenia (ATTAIN 266)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study consisting of a screening period, a conversion phase (Phase 1), a stabilization phase (Phase 2), and a double-blind maintenance treatment phase (Phase 3), and a follow up period.
Subjects may be either outpatients or inpatients between screening and through the time they reach stabilization at the end of Phase 2; hospitalization is not a study requirement. However, eligible subjects must be outpatients at the beginning of Phase 3.
Subjects will be assessed weekly during Phase 1, weekly for the first 4 weeks of Phase 2 and 3, and biweekly for the remaining weeks during each of Phases 2 and 3. Subjects will be encouraged to call the investigators with any exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and/or any tolerability issues. The investigator will also have the option to phone the subjects and their guardian(s) at any time to ensure clinical stability.
A data monitoring committee (DMC) will provide oversight for safety monitoring and reviewing the interim analysis. One interim analysis is planned after 75% of the total expected number of impending relapse events (28 events) are achieved and will be conducted by an independent data analysis center. The DMC will make a recommendation about stopping or continuing the study based on safety and efficacy reviews. The results of the interim analysis and individual subject data will remain blinded to the sponsor during the course of the study until the DMC determines that the study will conclude based on the results of the interim analysis, or the study is completed after 37 endpoint events.

Ilan Pappé: "The Zionist goal from the very beginning was to have as much of Palestine as possible with as few Palestinians in it as possible"
Interesting section of an interview with scholar Ilan Pappe:
The Palestinians in Israel are discriminated on 3 levels. The first is legal. By law, the fact that you are Palestinian means that you have fewer rights than a Jew. The most important law in this regard is the law on land ownership. According to the Israeli law, the land in Israel belongs to the Jewish people and them only. As a non-Jew, you are not allowed to trade or to purchase land and we are talking about 93% of the land. That's why the Palestinians can't grow and expand within Israel. Other laws do not specifically talk about the Palestinians, this is an old Israeli trick. The law says that if you have not served in the army you cannot have full rights as a student for example. You won't get student's subsidies, health services allowances, social security et al. All those things that the Western countries try to give to their citizens come with the precondition of military service in Israel. It is a trick because the Israelis do not want the Palestinians to serve in the army, in fact they are not allowed even if they would want to. There is an exception when it comes to Orthodox Jews, they do not serve in the army but they are not discriminated because they have a special annex to the Israeli budget. The Orthodox Jews get the money that the state would have used if they would have served in the army. So, Israeli law speaks for itself because it says that if you are Palestinian, you are a second-class citizen.

Time to recognise the emergence of the new Africa
DEVELOPMENT| Sept. 12, 2012, 8:05 p.m.
By Rich Mkhondo, Executive for Corporate Affairs at MTN Group
For decades, Africa was often depicted as a continent of starving children, flies in their mouths and malnourished bellies, families decimated by AIDS, or adults in raggedy clothes walking past the decaying corpse of animals beside a dusty road, running away from their war-torn country into the neighbouring country's makeshift tents. How about pictures of child soldiers brandishing AK47s.
Who can one forget the late Kevin Carter's Pulitzer Prize winning picture of a child crawling towards a UN food camp as a vulture waited for the child to die so that it can eat him?
For years these pictures and political instability formed negative perceptions about the continent, prompting analysts and the media to describe Africa as a waste basket case, a Dark Continent...
Tony Blair, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, once had this to say about Africa: "The state of Africa is a scar on the conscience of the world. But if the world, as a community, focused on it, we could heal it. And if we don't, that scar will become deeper and angrier still."
Thankfully, these descriptions and perceptions are changing fast. Now Africa is described as a continent of emerging markets, rising skyscrapers lining the horizon, cities teeming with educated graduates hungry for opportunities, a thriving small business environment, emerging farmers and emerging mineral wealth and economies which have doubled in size this century and continues to grow, fast.
Perceptions are changing, thanks to the rising number of democratically elected governments, the disappearing violent conflicts, scarcity of wars and coups, ebbing inflation, innovative business executives, rising foreign investment from other emerging markets (Chinese, Brazilian and India). Of course the rising commodity prices of oil, aluminum, cotton, and diamonds and other minerals has also fueled this growth.
For many years, Western nations advocated increased aid as a silver bullet for Africa's development.
Former South African President Thabo Mbeki, in his speech to the UN Assembly once said: "We seek to ensure that we move away from the donor- recipient relationship with the developed world to a new partnership based on mutual respect as well as shared responsibility and accountability."
Thanks to leaders of Mbeki's ilk, to improve our image, Africans have embarked on a road to build a future filled with hope through joint efforts to halt and prevent hostilities and accelerate common development, shared responsibility and economic growth.
This has forced African countries to become more self-reliant and to take responsibility. Our continent is slowly emerging from darkness into a region described as the next big growth market.
Africa is thriving. The fact that the flow of aid stayed flat even as growth took off in several African economies suggests that the begging bowl was never going to solve our problems. Now the all-consuming discussion of aid is being overtaken by Africa's homegrown solutions.
Africa's rising can be attributed to a mix of better governance, new technologies, improved and friendly economic policies, investment by Eastern nations, the growth of mobile telephony and inevitably, globalisation.
Rise of democracies
It is hard to believe that for almost two decades only Botswana, Senegal and Mauritius were the only true democracies. Today despotism is fast disappearing and more than 48 out of 54 African countries hold regular multi-party elections. The continent is a freer and more democratic place.
Military dictatorships and single- party governments have gone from being the norm to the exception.
The more open political and economic climate has meant that Africans who worked and lived overseas are returning home to provide valuable resources: their brainpower and enthusiasm.
Young people who've lived overseas are returning to work in democratic governments or start businesses. For them the opportunities are enormous.
The Chinese are here
As the Western powers concentrate on other priorities, the Chinese, Indians, Russians and Brazilians are prowling the continent for economic and investment opportunities. They are crawling our cities and villages looking for opportunities to invest.
They are exploiting natural resources such as agricultural self-sufficiency and high-value agro-exports and natural resources such as oil and metals, copper and other commodities.
For example, South African gold is still an attraction. Nigeria is awash with black gold, currently producing two million barrels of oil a day and Ghana is producing oil for the first time.
Africa is now a final frontier for investors. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the world top 10 fastest growing economies include six African countries, Angola, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Chad, Mozambique and Rwanda. Of the 10, Angola has experienced an 11.1 growth rate, Nigeria 8.9% Ethiopia 8.4%, Chad, 7.9%, Mozambique, 7.9% and Rwanda 7.6%.
Sub-Saharan Africa is considered the world's second fastest growing region after Asia. According to the IMF, GDP forecast for 2012 is 5.8%. The United Nations says foreign direct investment(FDI) in the region has increased from $9 billion in 2000 to more than $88 billion today.
There is also an expansion of unique range of service industries, including tourism with westerners thronging African beaches and world wonders such as Victoria Falls in both Zimbabwe and Zambia. South Africa continues to reap the benefits of having hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
With all of these opportunities come beneficiation deals to technology and skills transfer brought by foreign investor partnerships.
Also, African currencies have been more stable and inflation in the main is more acceptable. Additionally, the income of many African nationals has been rising steadily. This has led to significant investment in infrastructure and growth in the telecommunications industries.
Mobile telephony
Africa is feeling the impact of information and communication technology. We all know that technology is not limited to the sector in which it is produced, but rather spreads to all sectors of production and consumption. This is true for mobile telephony in Africa.
Mobile telephony, even though it is still significantly below the saturation levels of the developed world, has contributed to global economic development in a positive and significant way.
Indeed, infrastructure, while improving, remains inadequate. The boom in mobile phones is transforming everything from agriculture to healthcare. Young Africans - impatient for change, and innovative and increasingly well-educated - are using mobile technologies to solve problems presented by poor services and political stagnation.
Across the continent, mobile phones accelerate the maintenance and formation of social capital and social ties. Mobile phones strengthen existing social networks and overlap with economic networks. This means of communication is being incorporated in rural production and commercial activities and has become an everyday business communication tool.
Regionally-sponsored peace agreements
The end of apartheid was an example and motivation that Africans can solve their own problems, hence South Africa's role in the region is encouraging economic development across the continent.
Today, regionally sponsored peace agreements, supported by African peacekeeping and peace-building mechanisms are becoming the norm.
Mbeki has brokered peace in Sudan. As Africa's largest country, its stability was critical to the pursuit of durable peace in the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region.
Also, joint efforts made by African leaders in recent years have led to a halt to long-standing conflicts in Sierra Leone and Angola.
Africa has realised that it cannot be left behind when it comes to globalisation. A new Africa is emerging, powered by capitalism, embracing globalisation and finally shaking off the shackles of colonisation, the begging bowl syndrome and the cold war that proved so crippling to development.
To accelerate the momentum of growth, African governments should champion the setting of the scene for private sector participation.
Such development models must rest on the pillars of political stability, property rights, access to capital and investment in health and education.
Also, there is a greater need for transparency and accountability and for eradication of corruption. Governments need to develop the right policies and incentives for ideas, capital and businesses to circulate and develop
This will help establish sound, sustainable business institutions and investment and development of infrastructure, build transport links and constructing solid strategies.
African governments must continue to support entrepreneurship and small businesses, grow companies that will create a multiplier effect and see Africa rise and rise.
Let the continent be the pre-eminent frontier for economic boom and political stability.
Let Africa continue to rise.

Meredith driver charged with DWI after Laconia crash
Dylan Anderson, 20, of 120 Pinnacle Park, was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries after the crash. Her black Volkswagen Jetta had extensive damage, with air bags deployed, and the retaining wall was damaged as well, according to investigators.
Police said the incident began a little after 11 p.m. when it was reported that a woman struck two people as she backed out of a driveway at 63 Endicott St. The caller told police people at the residence tried to stop the woman, identified as Anderson, from leaving because they believed she was impaired by alcohol.
The two people who were struck received minor injuries and were evaluated at LRGH.
Police said Anderson then drove off, heading north on Route 11B (Endicott Street East) toward Meredith. Police said Anderson lost control of the car as she entered the Weirs Rotary, crossed the median into the southbound lane and struck a retaining wall on the west side of the road.
She was booked at the hospital on a DWI charge and released.
Police continue to investigate the incident, and Anderson could be facing additional charges.
