text: Carl Matthes: It's time to stop putting the blame for violent or predatory sexual activity in the military on gays and lesbians. Even facing unfair characterization and laws, gay men and lesbians enlist. They serve loyally, even though they must lie about their sexual orientation. And, yet, they remain willing to possibly give, ultimately, their life for their country.

Women In Distress of Broward County, Inc. operates a 24-HOUR CRISIS HOTLINE (954-761-1133) staffed by trained advocates and volunteers with the following goals:
- to ensure prompt provision of appropriate referrals to callers
- to establish eligibility for shelter services
- to provide information on and facilitate access to Women In Distress' non-residential services
Victims of domestic violence, concerned persons in the community, advocates, professionals, law enforcement, courts, etc. who need information about domestic violence services and community resources can call. Advocates and trained volunteers are available to respond to all inquiries for information, safety planning, referrals, shelter and/or appropriate outside services.
A victim's first step to accessing Women In Distress' services is to call our 24-Hour Crisis Hotline. An advocate will immediately answer the call and provide information about services and the next steps to keep the victim and their children safe. The family will be brought to shelter, if needed and available, or to an orientation group at our Jim & Jan Moran Family Center.
After the initial call to the 24-Hour Crisis Hotline, an advocate will greet the victim, assess their needs, provide resources, educate them on the dynamics of domestic abuse and assist with individual safety planning in order to encourage the victim to plan for a secure place if not in shelter.

"With all of the other AHL teams having such a great year, this is quite an honor," said Wolves President Mike Gordon. "This award is a direct reflection of a complete organizational effort. We were able to achieve this level of success because every member of the organization works together toward a common goal."
The Wolves set franchise records in corporate revenue and number of corporate partnerships during the 2010-11 season, which includes seeing corporate involvement increase by 15 percent.
The Wolves, who finished second in AHL attendance among teams returning for the 2011-12 campaign, are now accepting deposits for 2011-12 season tickets and group outings. The club has announced dates for six home games, including the 18th home opener at the Allstate Arena on Saturday, October 15, at 7 p.m.
The complete schedule, along with times and opponents, will be released later this summer. For more information, visit chicagowolves.comor call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

Written by Mike Swofford Wednesday, 25 January 2012 13:20
On January 17, 2012, the council Board of Directors was presented with the first concept of Camp Michaels development plans. This important milestone was the culmination of over six months of discussion and revision by the Visioning Committee. The proposal included a 60-page document with descriptions of the facilities and programs necessary to meet the needs and wishes of the council membership, as gathered earlier in the visioning process.
This first concept is not a commitment or a "set in stone" plan. Rather, it is a starting place and a draft concept that will now need to be field tested. At this point, the individual features and facilities should be viewed as potential possibilities and not for certain plans.
The Camp Michaels Visioning Committee is excited to share this first concept with you. After all, it is your feedback that created it! The following is a high-level summary of the first vision concept as presented to the Board of Directors. You can also download the Camp Michaels Vision Proposal:
Currently, Camp Michaels is perceived as a single camp with a relatively dense developed area and a large wilderness area. The committee envisions a reservation with multiple camps each with its own purpose and identity. This approach will take advantage of the landscape of the property, the currently standing facilities, and new county road access on the previously inaccessible side of Gunpowder Creek.
This area will offer a two-fold purpose of a training facility and a venue for large-scale council and district events. Camping and lodging facilities will remain rustic, with only tent camping available, albeit with distinct campsites. The centerpiece of the camp will be a Training Center with features necessary for large training courses. The event area, centered around the large fields and shelters in the center of the property, will offer support for council and district events that have been impractical or limited in the past.
In response to the membership feedback and in an interest to provide a sense of tradition, this area of the reservation should incorporate the history of Camp Michaels. The current structures, when possible, should remain as they are. Some portion of the current lodge building should be built into the Training Center structure that will replace it. The camp could be named "Historic Camp Michaels" in recognition of the property's impact on past generations of Scouts and Scouters.
Unique and exciting Scouting experiences will be offered in this new area that combines High Adventure activities and outdoor education and advancement opportunities. While the "Training and Event Center" will incorporate and renovate the facilities of the current Camp Michaels proper, the Scouting Adventure Base, will be comprised of all new facilities. A variety of camping styles and degrees of challenge will be available, some unique to camps in the Cincinnati area. The landmark of the camp will be the Zipline Canopy Tour.
In 2007, the council acquired 70 additional acres in the northwest part of the property, gaining county road access to the north side of Gunpowder Creek. After review, it was determined that it would not be practical to make this road a formal entrance to the camp; doing so would duplicate the need for roads, parking, security, and maintenance. However, the area should be developed to be accessible to emergency and maintenance vehicles. It can also be an entrance for accessibility and guided excursions to the Zipline take-off point.
An ideal location for getting into the wilderness and experiencing more primitive Scouting activities, this area will provide opportunities for simple hikes, nature observation, and training for High Adventure base treks. A large trail system will be the central element of the camp, offering a variety of hiking, backpacking, and camping options.
The real treasure of the property is its natural rustic landscape – this will be the focus of the programs and facilities for this camp. While trails and primitive campsites will be developed, the majority of the land will be untouched from its current state.
The Camp Michaels Visioning Committee believes that the program and facility ideas presented here are a thorough response to the feedback gathered from the council membership. In the development of these ideas, the focus group and survey results were the driving initiators and deciding factors. The current Camp Michaels property has massive potential for new and attractive programs that will not only enhance unit programs but also be a recruiting and promoting tool to grow Scouting in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.
While a good representation of several cross-sections of the council, the committee also understands that one group cannot perfectly represent the needs and desires of the entire council membership. These ideas must be field tested and further vetted to more closely match the interest of our Scouts and units.
The committee recommends the following steps for action to realize this vision:
- District and council level volunteers
- Troop leadership
- Cub Scout leadership
- Venturing leadership
- Boy Scouts
- Venturers
- Northern Kentucky Scouters
- Council staff, including Ranger staff

Water Bottles & Hydration
Water Bottles & Hydration
Product Selection
Athletic Hydration: Learn About Water Bottles
Stay hydrated with high quality water bottles and hydration gear from DICKS Sporting Goods. Whether you need a large capacity water bottle for a backpacking trip or a slim bottle designed to fit in a bike cage, youll find a wide selection of options to choose from.
For longer bike rides or hikes in hot or dry conditions, choose from the selection of hydration packs. With water capacities of 100 ounces and more, hydration packs are essential equipment when you need to carry water for several hours of exercise. The DICKS Sporting Goods collection also includes valves, filters, and cleaning kits to help you maintain your hydration pack.
Shop all water bottles and hydration packs from top brands like CamelBak®Hydro Flask®, Gatorade® and more.
Buying Tips
Be sure to evaluate your hydration needs carefully before you purchase a water bottle or hydration pack. Carrying more water than you need can slow you down unnecessarily, while carrying too little water can have serious consequences for your health.
Water bottles are a good choice for short hikes, or for activities when you will be able to stop and refill your bottle as needed. A slim, lightweight water bottle that can fit in a bike cage is ideal for staying hydrated on shorter bike rides. Choose an insulated bottle if you expect to be hiking or riding in especially hot or cold weather conditions.
If you are preparing for long bike rides or hikes, a hydration pack may be the right choice. Hydration packs usually hold much more water than a bottle, and typically include a tube through which you can drink without using your hands.
Expert Advice
Inspect your hydration packs sip tube and bite valve from time to time. A cracked or broken tube will make it difficult to drink without stopping, eliminating much of the benefit of using a hands-free hydration pack.

ALBION — Officials in a northeastern Indiana county are considering arming teachers in the aftermath of the shooting spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The Central Noble (County) School Board voted Tuesday night to consider the proposal by Sheriff Doug Harp. Harp has delivered the same proposal to the East and West Noble School districts northwest of Fort Wayne.
Under the plan, officials would choose up to four teachers in each school to undergo firearms training and be appointed as special deputies. The teachers' authority would be limited to school buildings.
Harp says arming teachers is more economical than paying school security officers. A donor has offered to provide the guns.
The Central Noble board meets next on Feb. 19. No timeline for a decision was discussed.

Beginning Aug. 15 and continuing through Feb. 28, hunters can pursue both gray and fox squirrels. The maximum daily bag limit is 12 per hunter.
Soon to follow will be the opening of dove season and bow hunting for deer.
Dove season opens Sept. 7, and deer archery season opens Sept. 14.
Squirrel hunting provides the perfect opportunity to introduce someone to the sport of hunting, according to officials with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division. Unlike some big game hunts, the pursuit of bushytails often involves more action for energetic youth, providing a greater level of interaction with the outdoors.
"Squirrel hunting in the fall has always been a significant cultural hunting tradition in Georgia," said John Bowers, chief of the game management section. "It also provides a great opportunity to take a young person or someone new to hunting with you on a fun, inexpensive and active outdoor adventure."

An Aiken man was detained in North Dakota for driving under the influence after a deadly accident on Wednesday, according to the North Dakota State Highway Patrol.
Wayne Pauli, 53, was charged with DUI and placed in the Southwest Multi-County Correction Center.
The accident happened at 7:35 p.m. on Stark County Road 45, about a half mile north of Hebron, N.D., The Jamestown Sun newspaper reports.
A spokesman for the Highway Patrol said Pauli was traveling southbound on the country road in a 1998 Ford F-150 pickup when he lost control on a curve on the gravel roadway. The vehicle struck a ditch and overturned.
A passenger in the vehicle, 26-year-old spencer Glen Rae, of Lyman, Wyo., was ejected and died at the scene.
Pauli and another passenger, 23-year-old Brett Byrd, of Decatur, Ala., were injured and transported to St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, the Highway Patrol said. No one in the vehicle was wearing a seat belt.
The accident remains under investigation by the Highway Patrol and the Stark County Sheriff's Office.

'I think Werdum has a shot up next," Velasquez told MMAfighting. "I guess all the newcomers coming in or whoever comes off a hot streak, we will see how it all plays out."
"Vai Cavalo" would definitely be at the top of the list of a division filled with carcasses left by Velasquez and Dos Santos, who to date, have only lost to one another.
Werdum has been victorious in his last three bouts -- two coming by way of finish -- and most recently defeated good friend and fellow Brazilian Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. In fact, looking at his recent contests, his previous 10 match-ups contain a who's-who of would-be contenders in the division.
His only two losses during that span came against Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem (in Strikeforce).
Werdum was recently said to have personally requested a bout against fellow Hexagon-import Daniel Cormier; however, "DC" is now lined up to face Roy Nelson while contemplating a possible future at 205 pounds. Not only does a drop in weight get him a crack at Jon Jones (potentially), it avoids an awkward moment like this.


text:
I had a pretty revealing conversation with Lyoto in Los Angeles yesterday, Anik said earlier this week. It really seems like he wants to fight Jon Jones again. I mean, not that hes thinking about a return to 205 (pounds); he loves being at 185. But he just kept coming back to the superfight and the megafight, and it seems like he wants to fight Jonny Bones again.
The two met at UFC 140 in what was Jones second title defense and Machidas first attempt at regaining the belt after ceding it to Mauricio Shogun Rua at UFC 113. Machida won the bouts first round. But in the second, Jones caught him in a standing guillotine choke and squeezed until he dropped lifelessly to the mat.
In his next fight, Machida rebounded in a big way, knocking out Ryan Bader at UFC on FOX 4 to earn a rematch with Jones. But when he turned down a short-notice opportunity at UFC 152, he fell out of favor as the UFCs No. 1 contender, and Jones brushed off a second bout.
Machida squeaked by ex-champ Dan Henderson at UFC 157, but when he fell short against Phil Davis at UFC 163 via controversial decision, his diminishing title prospects prompted him to move to middleweight. There, he made an instant impression with a first-round knockout of Mark Munoz.
Machida subsequently outpointed Gegard Mousasi in this past months UFC Fight Night 36 headliner, and when No. 1 middleweight contender Vitor Belfort was scratched from a title shot against champ Chris Weidman at UFC 173, he eagerly accepted.

Wham! Bannination...on this computer at least.

Here's what S.C. Republican Party Chairman Chad Connelly had to say about the Aiken County party's selection of new officers last Saturday – Chairman Diane Barnes and Vice Chairman Clayton Clarkson.
"To those who say the Republican Party is the party of old white men, look at the diverse group elected nearly unanimously," Connelly said in a statement.
Barnes, who served as vice chairman the past two years, defeated Tony Caffaro handily for the chairmanship. She said she's the first Hispanic chairman of the Aiken County party.
Clarkson attends USC Aiken as a political science major. K.T. Ruthven will return as the executive committeeman, completing what Connelly said is the youngest group of county party officers in the state.
"It's wonderful to look at all the opportunities," said Barnes. "Our party is growing and transitioning to strengthen the party, with the continued support of our current members."
Ruthven is delighted that the party is giving Clarkson the chance to get more involved. They worked together on the Romney-Ryan presidential ticket – which captured the state by a margin of more than 10 percent.
"We're also excited to have Diane on board," Ruthven said. "She's youthful and full of energy with a lot of different experiences. She will be a dynamic leader."
At USCA, Clarkson met Dennis Saylor's son Scott, who also cited the value political involvement. After working at the precinct level, Clarkson joined the Herman Cain presidential campaign until the candidate withdrew. He's been active with the local party ever since. Barnes and Ruthven were pleased that Clarkson brought about 12 USCA friends to the convention Saturday.
"It's exciting to be a part of the next generation of Republicans and build a real foundation," Clarkson said.
Barnes was active in Texas politics before she and her familiy moved to Aiken in 2009. The following year, she worked on Bill Taylor's successful bid to get a first term in the S.C. House of Representatives.
Barnes acknowledges that as one of her priorities, "I would like to see us unite the party. Growing the party has to start at the local level."

Our campaigns
Action for Access
Many disabled people face problems carrying out everyday activities like going to the cinema, paying bills or using the bank or post office because services haven't been provided in an accessible way.
Whether you're a disabled person, a shopkeeper, an elected representative or an interested individual, we can all take Action for Access.
What can I do?
You can survey all kinds of places you visit — shops, pubs and even public transport — and highlight poor access problems to the people who run them.
What can I do as a shop manager or business owner?
Whether you run a corner shop, a leisure complex or a restaurant, you have a duty under the Equality Act to provide the same level of service to disabled customers as non-disabled customers. You can also read the Equality and Human Rights Commission's guidance for businesses.
What can I do as an elected representative?
Talking to disabled people in your constituency about their experiences of access is a great place to start. Check your own accessibility too – how can disabled constituents access your surgery? Do you provide information in a variety of ways?
What are my rights?
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has produced guidance on your rights as a customer of a business.

I am a newbie to acylics. I am trying to stretch my skills and develop a better eye. I decided to try my hand at something more abstract. (see attached picture) How do you decide what to paint when doing an abstract? How do you pic your colors and do you sketch it before you paint it?
Pheenix:That's the beauty of abstract painting. There's really no right way or wrong way of doing things. Abstract is just that.....abstract. When it comes to
abstract painting I think most people have a vision, or an idea of what they want their painting to look like when they start painting. Some people might
sketch it out, or do some experimenting prior to painting on the canvas. The photo of the painting you posted can be described as abstract or geometric.
A lot of times abstract paintings don't really have any defined style, shape or purpose to them, other than being abstract. I love abstract painting because
there is no right way and wrong way of painting and I always envision every abstract painting as an experiment with colors and other media. If you want to
see a wide variety of abstract paintings just type in 'abstract paintings' in Yahoo image search or on Ebay.
I appreciate the feedback. I had no idea what to call my painting... I think geometric is the best description. I have seen some amazing art that I would describe as abstract. I have also seen some works that dont look like art to me. I understand the wonderful thing about art is that its in the eye of the beholder, but how do you know you are on the right path?
That's a hard question to answer. Define 'right path'. I think it's different for everyone. I enjoy doing abstract paintings and experimenting with adding different mediums to my paint to achieve different effects and for me there's really no right way, or right path as long as I like what I'm painting. If it's something that I personally don't like then how am I to believe others will like it? That's why it's so difficult to describe, or even offer advice on abstract painting. I'm working on a piece right now and I'm just not 'feeling it'. When I don't get a good vibe from something I'm working on then it usually doesn't turn out good for me, but it's easy to take an abstract painting and totally change it by manipulating the colors with thinners, or other mediums so even if it's not turning out exactly how you envisioned it, don't toss it just yet. I think every artist is their worst critic. Agree? So for me, the 'right path' is more of a feeling. If I can look at something I'm working on and like what I see then I know I'm on the right path. There are definitely times when I know I'm on the wrong path. I get quite a few ideas on youtube. There are several artists on youtube who show their artwork in time lapse so you can see, step by step, how they come up with their work.
Okay, that makes sense. If I like it, then its right. Thats good. I like that idea. I truely am My own worst critic. I will keep playing with the idea and see what come out on the canvas. One of my friends told me that my latest artwork shows my "logical side" too much. I had to admit it was true. Straight lines and circles and geometric shapes are "comfortable" for me. That type of work doesnt really require me to stretch my abilities. But it was fun to do.
Have a look at the abstract works of Irish-American painter Seán Scully. He definitely has a distinctive colour sense.
Anselm Kiefer's works are gargantuan, and he definitely has a vision. They are somewhat realist, but with amazing abstract form. Even though I'm a realist painter I was stunned by Kiefer's huge works when I saw them at the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
Love your painting!
Abstract painting might not look hard, as if the artist did not know what they were painting. It might look like it; however, this is far from the truth. Abstract can be more difficult than landscape or scenery, because there is nothing to copy from, and nothing like it has been painted prior to the moment that the artist picked up the brush or palette knife.
Valentines Day Gift Ideas
One of the main meanings of abstract is that the artwork is an "abstract" of something....which is where the name comes from. The concept means you can take something like a house a boat or simply any old thing and abstract from it those forms,colors or items that you see as being integral to your 'story'. Sorry didn't mean to be didactic....comes from being a retired art teacher. I do like the way everyone here is constructively encouraging ....keep up the good work and a creative new year to all.
Sometimes you might get the idea/shape/concept from certain words, music, circumstances or maybe even a glance of something. You might have an overall idea of what you think it should look like when complete although, it might be slightly or hugely different when completed. You can always go with the idea of "NOA" (Non Objective Art). Google that and select images and look at all the similarities. Its all by chance! :)
Take Care,
James Bair
I believe art is anything that brings out emotion. For me abstract painting is somewhere in between experimenting and expressing an emotion. Whether it is the emotion I am feeling at the moment of creation or a specific emotion I want the viewer to experience. I personally believe that the quality or art should too be based on the level of emotion it draws out in a person, but that is personal opinion. It seems like you have a good eye for color, so challenge your self. Keep going!!!
I always ask "What would happen if I do this..." and try a certain technique. The great thing about abstracts is that you get to experiment with an idea for another painting if you want. You pick colors that either just look good together sitting next to each other in the bottle, or use colors that create a certain mood of the piece.
Many abstracts would not be sketched beforehand and just free flowing, but yours might, seeing the geometric nature of it. Is there really a rule that says you must do it this way or that? The answer to your whole general inquiry seems to be that there is no right or wrong way to go about an abstract since you are the one that makes the rules. There are ways to make some abstracts look better though, if you want to make something really appealing to the eye.
I see there are still some comments to this post....and looked at pieces you are showing so far. My two cents would be, to look at the types of abstracts that attract you and see what are the common elements. Is the format clean and simple, or patterned and busy? Are the colors simple and muted...almost graphic, or are the bold and stand out? Is it form related or total abstract? Is it flat, raised or textured? These are the elements that you need to look at in your own pieces.
I look at your first geometric piece and I see flat geometric forms. What would happen if you added looser line, ior added pattern or texture within a couple of the major forms? I see your attempt at that in the piece using textured line or jute. Have you tried using layers of color by using color mixed with clear medium as glazes to create depth of the form?
Just remember that the canvas itself will decide a lot for you. You can plan and plan, but often the canvas suprises you with a different idea.

INTERPOL assists local police forces in the regions where pirates operate, training them in the skills necessary to investigate pirate attacks and develop legal cases against the facilitators and financiers of pirate networks. Our specialized training is targeted to the needs of each country and region.
EU-funded project
The European Union collaborates with INTERPOL in the fight against maritime piracy by funding our Maritime Piracy Capacity Building Project for East Africa. The project focuses on capacity building for authorities in East Africa, through the following:
- Needs assessment: Needs assessments are carried out in target countries to determine current knowledge levels and potential shortcomings of the law enforcement agencies. This allows INTERPOL to create tailor-made training programmes for each country. Needs assessments have been completed for Kenya and the Seychelles, to be followed by Somalia and Tanzania.
- Law enforcement capacity building in East Africa: A three-year project aimed at developing the forensic and investigative capabilities of seven East African countries by providing essential equipment and training.
- Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) for the Seychellois police: This system will allow better collection of biometric data from the prison population, including convicted pirates. Better data should result in more accurate matches and verifications by counter-piracy agencies.
- Crime scene investigation training: These training programmes will enhance regional law enforcement agencies' ability to investigate maritime and transnational crimes, and develop forensic and criminal intelligence.
- Crime scene investigation equipment: Basic crime scene investigation equipment will be provided to Kenya, the Seychelles and Tanzania, as identified during the needs assessment stage.

Secrets to a Clutter-free Garden Shed
Just like any other part of your home, organizing your outdoor storage deck is also an important task that you need to do every one in a while. A clean shed means that you don't have to waste your time and energy in searching for that trowel or moving that heavy wheelbarrow.
Keeping your shed clean may seem like a difficult task for most people. Yes, the job requires some effort, but it's not impossible and expensive. It can also be a really fun experience, especially if you are tired of looking at messy gloves and gardening tools. Follow the simple guidelines below if you want to keep your compact garden shed from Tesco clean and organized.
- Wrap the hose in a hook
If you frequently water your plants using a hose, you've probably experienced tripping on a tangled hose. To spare you from the pain, wrap your hose on a hook. That way, it'll be easier to find and you can get it from underfoot. For best results, use a big hook with a steep angle.
- Make your tools accessible
Tools with long handles are ideally stored in areas where they are accessible but out of the way at the same time. To keep them organized, you can install a tool hanger in the door of your shed. This will free up the walls and allow you to add shelves or a potting bench.
- Invest in cabinets
These cabinets are easy to install and they will surely increase the storage capacity of your shed. With these compartments, you can arrange both small and large gardening tools. Depending on your preference, you can buy an assembled cabinet or just build one yourself. Of course, the latter is the cheaper option.
- Use magnets
Magnets aren't just pretty accessories for your refrigerator. You can also use them to hold metallic tools. With these magnetic bars, your pruning shears or trowels won't be in the way. The trick here is to pick a magnetic bar that can hold the weight of your tools.
- Don't forget the calendar
Keeping a calendar inside your shed is very useful if you want to keep track of your landscaping activities. No more guessing the exact date when you planted a seed or fertilized your lawn.
- Wicker Basket
Hang a wicker basket on the door so that you can easily grab your most used garden tools like shears and gloves.

Today our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the men lost at the Upper Big Branch Coal Mine three years ago, the survivors and their families who face a difficult road to recovery in the years to come and the many people in our community still struggling to cope with the enormity of the disaster, the group said in its news release. We offer our most sincere thanks and appreciation to the dedicated first responders and mine rescue teams that rushed from near and far to aid the fallen miners and to the thousands of people who donated to multiple relief efforts to support the families immediately after the disaster.West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin will honor the memory of the 29 miners who lost their lives in an explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine in 2010 by observing a moment of silence at 3:01 p.m., Friday, April 5, 2013. Gov. Tomblin asks all West Virginians to join him in this observance.The Upper Big Branch Miners Memorial is dedicated to 29 miners who lost their lives in an explosion at the Upper Big Branch Coal Mine on April 5th, 2010, to the first responders and mine rescuers that put themselves in harm's way to come to the aid of their fellow man and to all individuals who have suffered injury, illness or death as a result of working in the coal industry.This striking memorial symbolizes strength. Strength of those brave men, the strength of their families and the unwavering strength of this community. This memorial stands as a reminder... a reminder of what we lost, the love we shared for our fallen brothers, as a reminder that life is often too short and as a reminder that we must always put safety first. This memorial stands for all of us- to help heal, to reflect and to never forget, said U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), during the UBB Miners Memorial Dedication last year on July 27, 2012.We are encouraged by the recent news that mine safety legislation in Washington, which would address the failures that led to the UBB disaster, is being reworked and proposed again this year after past attempts in 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Upper Big Branch Mining Memorial Group added in their statement. We remind the West Virginia state delegation of the content of their speeches at the UBB Memorial Dedication last July and urge them to work diligently to follow through on those words. May God bless the families of the men taken from us at Upper Big Branch and the West Virginia coal miner, our states greatest resource.

Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers
Embracing his reflective side, not to mention his country influences (which had made themselves known on the Refreshments' sophomore album, The Bottle & Fresh Horses), Clyne molded a new musical creation. He, along with former Refreshments drummer P.H. Naffah, ex-Dead Hot Workshop guitarist Steve Larson, bassist Danny White, and ex-Gin Blossoms guitarist Scott Johnson, introduced a twangy hard rock on 1999's Honky Tonk Union. Released on the band's own label, Emma Java Recordings, the album debuted in the Top Ten of the Billboard Internet Sales charts (the Peacemakers would repeat this feat with their subsequent five releases, making them the only independent band to ever do so). Shows throughout the Southwest and Mexico kept the band busy -- busy enough to issue a top-notch live album, Real to Reel, in fall 2001.
Clyne took his lyrical poetics a step further for the band's second studio effort. Sonoran Hope & Madness, which was released in February 2002, combined a sultry mix of country and folk while sifting through Clyne's visions of nature encumbered by human recklessness. Americano followed in 2004, featuring a slimmed-down band (Johnson had since left to join the reunited Gin Blossoms) whose rugged take on heartland rock had grown steadily more cohesive since its late-'90s debut. Following those recording sessions, White left the group to pursue work as a Nashville producer and was replaced by former Gloritone bassist Nick Scropos.
The new lineup immediately hit the road, and the band released one of its more raucous shows as Live at Billy Bob's in 2005 before issuing the Four Unlike Before EP the following year. No More Beautiful World, which toned down the band's rollicking style in favor of mariachi beats and humorous narratives, was released in 2007. That winter, the Peacemakers decamped to Mexico to write and record a wealth of material in eight straight days. Daily video installments broadcast their efforts on the Internet, allowing the group's audience to watch the eight songs take shape. Turbo Ocho collected the resulting tunes (along with three others) and was released in the spring of 2008, marking Larson's last appearance with the group. Guitarist Jim Dalton replaced him in early 2009, and the new lineup unveiled itself on the road, touring heavily for two years before releasing Unida Cantina in 2011. ~ MacKenzie Wilson & Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Businesses have depended on FTP for file transfer for years, but many people find it to be a cumbersome tool and a time-consuming process. File transfer protocol places responsibility on clients and vendors to download and use client software, which can take some time to find and learn. Standard FTP also transfers sensitive business files in plain text with no protection for data. Managing the necessary servers requires significant time and IT resources, which make FTP an unsustainable solution for savvy businesses. Fortunately, there is now an easy-to-use, cloud-based alternative for modern business.
Citrix ShareFile offers a full-featured solution for companies ready to leave the hassle of FTP behind. With intuitive, always-available file transfer and storage, a ShareFile portal offers a more convenient workflow for happier employees and clients.

Right Time, Right Place: Coming of Age with William F. Buckley Jr. and the Conservative Moment
After the 2008 election, some luminaries in the conservative movement have returned to the drawing board to try and determine their political future. Many have mourned the loss of the William F. Buckley, arguably the intellectual forebear of modern conservatism, and the movements shift away from his core philosophy. Richard Brookhiser, a senior editor with the National Review, recently published a biography of the conservative icon, who also served as a mentor to Mr. Brookhiser in his youth. At 15 in 1969, Mr. Brookhiser wrote a piece that became a cover story in the National Review criticizing anti-Vietnam War protests. He later attended Yale and immediately took a job at the magazine, where Buckley designated him his heir apparent. Nine years later, Buckley recanted his offer and no longer considered his protégée an apt candidate to replace the magazines founder and editor-in-chief. Mr. Brookhisers Right Time, Right Place: Coming of Age with William F. Buckley Jr. and the Conservative Moment (2009), retells his relationship with his mentor in which, [h]e engagingly describes Buckleys simultaneously generous and aloof personality, his many idiosyncrasies, his enjoyment of his large and wealthy life, his preoccupation with his own fame and his attractive unpredictability in staking out positions on public issues, (The New York Times).
Brookhiser is the author of several books, many of them about the principles and history of the U.S. founders. He adapted his biography Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington (1996) to a 2002 PBS documentary that he also hosted, and he is currently working on adapting Rediscovering Alexander Hamilton (2007) to a film as well. He has written for several magazines besides the National Review, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, and The New York Observer, where he wrote a column from 1987 to 2007. In 2005, he received the National Medal for the Humanities Medal.
Mr. Brookhisers talk is jointly sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World and the Athenaeum.

Exiting school board member Laura Berthiaume says she no longer fits in politically in Montgomery County, and, for now, her children no longer fit in Montgomery County Public Schools.
Berthiaume, whose last day representing District 2 was Tuesday, told The Gazette in an interview Friday that she pulled her third-grade son out of the county�s public school system and placed him in a private school after last school year. Her two daughters also attend private school.
Berthiaume said the decision was, �for personal reasons, partly including Curriculum 2.0, and how math is being taught in Curriculum 2.0.�
�I think it�s true that for some children, there are some individual needs that it is extremely difficult for the school system to address,� Berthiaume said, declining to elaborate.
Many parents across the county have taken issue with the new curriculum, which changes the way students are taught and accelerated in subjects.
Berthiaume said she realized during her time on the board that the school system is a huge bureaucracy, largely unflexible to changes and new ideas.
Serving on the school board has helped Berthiaume grow and learn, she said — and have more conservative values. The lifelong Democrat is now a registered Independent.
She will not consider running for school board or political office in Montgomery County again, as she said she would not get elected.
�My points of view have gone [too far] beyond the narrow viewpoints of Montgomery County to have any political future,� she said. �You can sit there and say why not break the bubble, why not introduce that element of cross conversation. ... They are not going to hear it.�
Berthiaume, 48, of Rockville, said she is leaving the school board to spend more time with her family. Her son now attends Fourth Presbyterian School in Potomac and her daughters attend Holton-Arms School in Bethesda.
Berthiaume regrets little about her time on the board.
She was a very engaged board member, said school board President Shirley Brandman (At-large) of Bethesda.
�She did her homework,� Brandman said. �She brought a lot of passion to issues. She asked tough questions.�
Often, and more frequently lately, Berthiaume was the only opposing vote when the school board was making decisions.
Even though school board members are not elected by political affiliation, in a county where all elected officials share the same political viewpoints, groupthink and trends often lead to exaggerated policies, Berthiaume said.
�It becomes a very large echo chamber,� she said.
Berthiaume was the sole member this summer to vote against a union agreement that gave base pay raises to teachers.
She warned other board members before the vote of the county�s unstable economy and income, and she said she was frustrated when her thoughts were largely brushed off.
�I was trying to say, �Hey, there is a pit on the pathway and you are walking right into it,�� she said.
Doug Prouty, president of the Montgomery County Education Association, said he wasn�t pleased with her vote, but understood her concerns. The union endorsed Berthiaume in the 2008 election.
�We always appreciated the critical eye that Laura brought to the school board,� Prouty said.
Brandman said that even though Berthiaume often disagreed with the whole board�s decision, she appreciated how she was willing to share her opinion.
Berthiaume said she is proud of a few things that the board did while she was serving, such as the board�s professionalism when searching for a new superintendent.
Superintendent Joshua P. Starr, now in his second year, is a good fit for the county and the school system, Berthiaume said, but she said she does not agree with his vision. The school system must realize it cannot use policy and programs to fix all of the problems students have, most of which stem from problems at home, she said.
Berthiaume explained that although families cannot be judged individually, statistically, children with alcoholic and abusive parents, who have an unwed mother, or are homeless, have less of a chance at success.
�We don�t like to admit that anything is out of our control,� Berthiaume said. �The answer is you let it become an excuse. But if you don�t view the problem clearly, you are not going to react to it well either.�
When asked if she would move somewhere else to run for political office elsewhere, Berthiaume said �it is always a possibility.�
She said she doesn�t think the school board and county will miss having her at the table.
�Does anybody miss a gadfly?� she said.
