Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
Vagnini to be tried separately from other cops charged in illegal body searches case
Prosecutors in Milwaukee have agreed to try a Milwaukee police officer charged with illegal body searches and sexual assault separately from three fellow officers facing fewer and lesser counts related to many of the same incidents.
Michael Vagnini remains scheduled for trial April 29 on 25 counts.
His three co-defendants -- Jeffrey Dollhopf, Brian Kozelek and Jacob Knight -- are now set for trial June 3.
Attorneys for two of them had requested their cases be severed from that of Vagnini. None of the three are charged with sexual assault, only with misconduct in office and being parties to the crimes of illegal searches, based on their on-duty presence when prosecutors say Vagnini committed them.
Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner set a Feb. 20 pre-trial hearing date for all the cases. Defense attorneys at Tuesday's hearing suggested they will be filng other pre-trial motions in the case.
All four officers were charged in October. All have been suspended with pay.

Elementary school teachers Kim Cantrell, grade 6, and Michelle McCormack, grade 5, shared their experiences with the Mojave Intermediate Space Challenge on Aerotech NewsRadio June 7.
ISC is an annual event for students in grades four through six, hosted at the Mojave Air and Space Port to "inspire†students in Science, Technology and Math. For Cantrell and McCormack, the rocket-launch event was a new experience.
According to Cantrell, the event started eight years ago as the "brain-child†of Marie Walker, CEO of Fiberset. The event originally included only the Mojave Unified District schools and was later "graciously extended†to include outside districts that have shown interest in adopting the event.
Each participating class is expected to complete a certain number of tasks, operating like a business. The class is provided with a kit to build a rocket, to be launched on the day of the competition. Students were also expected to create a banner that complemented the paint scheme of the rocket, as well as come up with a slogan and answer an essay question.
McCormack said that it took about three weeks to get the whole class to finish the project as a team. Cantrell added that it took "longer than we anticipated.†The teachers agreed, however that the outcome was "inspirational.â€
Cantrell also shared that schools from the Mojave Unified District have high school mentors come alongside to help the elementary school participants, but the Branch Elementary students "didn't have that luxury.†Cantrell and McCormack "scrambled†to find assistance because neither educator had built a rocket before. Cantrell was able to recruit help from one of her former students and Paul Zuttarelli, "a true rocket scientist†to help with the project. She added that her class was then able to help McCormacks class with their rocket.
McCormack was also able to recruit help from her husband Mike and said that it was a "team effort … turned into almost a family effort.â€
On the day of the competition, both classes placed first in various categories including Altitude for Visiting Schools, Banner Design and Integration, and Essays. Cantrell recalled that during the rocket launch "It was thrilling to see [the rocket] go straight up.†McCormack added that watching the class come together and celebrate their victories together was "wonderful.â€
"Their feet didn't touch the ground for the rest of the school year,†said Cantrell. The students are already planning ahead for next year's competition and the younger grades can't wait to have their turn.

The Media Reality in Iraqi Kurdistan
Issue 14, Summer 2011
A light-hearted invitation to journalists to visit Iraqi Kurdistan
The Role of Freedom of Expression and Democracy in Kurdistan: can freedom of press exist in a federal region of Iraq?
"We are inspired by you [President Barack Obama] and the values of the free world led by the United States of America. As a symbol of freedom, democracy and equality in the free world, we are seeking your help" - Shaswar Qadir, co-founder of Nalia Television Radio
"I am proud to be a Kurd. I didn't choose to be Kurdish; I did choose to be a Muslim. I wish to live in a country that there are neither women nor men rights, but human rights. Here it won't happen and my dream will never come true." - Tawar Rasheed, former Human Rights Watch Iraq employee and real estate developer
Eight years after the United States and its allies invaded Iraq, the country's transition to a functioning democracy with press freedom is far from accomplished, even in the northern region that U.S. officials have sometimes touted as model for the country.
Shortly after the February demonstrations in Suleymaniyah, Kurdistan, which left eight people dead, Reporters Without Borders (RWB) wrote to Kurdistani President Massoud Barzani to say that despite improvements in the representation of democratic voices in the region, the organization was concerned about the deterioration in the situation of journalists there since February 17.
In the aftermath of the 2003 invasion, Iraq underwent a media boom. Hundreds of new publications, television and radio stations sprang up across the country, and Iraqis gained access to satellite dishes and the Internet. In Kurdistan, the semi-autonomous and federal region of Iraq, independent media flourished. But in the years since the occupation, the media has fallen short of the promise. A power vacuum bred violence and later civil strife made Iraq the deadliest country in the world for journalists between 2003 and 2008, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). Even after security improved in 2008 and a new coalition government was formed in Kurdistan in 2010, restrictive legislation and other barriers denied journalists the right to access information.
In addition, extremists and unknown assailants, some apparently linked to political parties, continue to kill media workers and torch their offices. Increasingly, journalists and media advocates find themselves threatened, arrested and physically assaulted by security forces linked to government institutions and political parties, reported the Iraq branch of Human Rights Watch.

Any shows in New York this weekend (07/22-07/24)??
Hubby and I are travelling to Lake Placid, NY this weekend for a triathlon he's doing on Sunday! But I heard that area has a lot of neat horse shows, and we're going to be there Thurs-Sun so I thought maybe during some down time I could catch a show! :D
Anyone from the area know of any this weekend??
Right in Lake Placid, or are you looking to drive a bit? Saratoga's always got cool things going on in the summer.
Closeby :)

The Maquis or the Federation?

Location: A ship, a living ship, full of strange alien lifeforms.
Re: The Maquis or the Federation?
They're a democracy whose legitimately elected leaders made a legal treaty with another government, and I assume the treaty had broad support outside of that small minority of colonists.
So because they were elected and created the treaty through legal channels, it must have been the right thing to do. Of course. There were lots of people who thought it was a good idea, so that makes it all okay.
The Federation should not have given those planets up to the Cardassians. The Feds knew full well that the Cardassians had a brutal history of oppression, slavery, and atrocity. They weren't right to give those planets up.
At the same time, it would have been far more rational and intelligent for the Maquis to leave. Absolutely. And of course, humans only ever make rational, intelligent decisions, right?
So while the Federation may not have had the right to surrender those planets to the Cardassians, it's important to remember that it was the Cardassians, not the Feds, who brutalized the colonists. Did the colonists have a legitimate grievance with the Federation? Perhaps, but that doesn't really justify their actions. As JediKnightButler said...wait, JediKnightButler? What kind of a name is that? :P I like it. So, as JediKnightButler said, what was their endgame? What did they hope to accomplish by attacking the Federation?.
But did they have a legitimate grievance with the brutal Cardassians? Absolutely.
Leaving would have been the right thing to do. But after they decided not to leave, fighting back against the Cardassians was also the right thing to do. It's not a perfectly clear situation, and no one group was completely in the right. Personally, I would have gotten the frell out of there before the Cardassians showed up. There's no shame in running. Not when you're running from a brutal military regime that wants to crush and enslave you and has the power to do so.

Pop Top: It may be a piece of cake but it sure spells disaster
Grade: B+
Book » There are several new reality television shows that portray the glamorous side of the cake decorating world. But Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong reveals the not-so-perfect side of this sweet business. The hardback book, ($12.99) sprung from author Jen Yates' popular food blog at http://www.cakewrecks.com" Target="_BLANK">http://www.cakewrecks.com. It includes dozens of photos of funny, sad, ugly and sometimes creepy cakes. The grammar goofs are especially funny -- you'll be surprised how many ways one can misspell the words "Happy Birthday." But it's the decorating disasters, like the sexual harassment cake complete with illustration, that will make you ask "What were they thinking?" Keep the kids away from the frosting faux-paus pages. Most of these cakes unintentionally resemble parts of the human anatomy and are sure to make a birthday girl blush.

Accident Damages Agate Pass Bridge
Bainbridge Island A dozen overhead girders were damaged on the Agate Pass Bridge when they were struck Tuesday by an unsecured boom on a commercial truck as it crossed the bridge.

The truck, driven by Jonathan Bolden, 28, of Federal Way, ultimately became stuck in the center of the bridge during the 12:12 p.m. accident. The bridge was closed until the boom could be freed and the truck removed.

The truck boom also clipped the traffic signal at the intersection of Highway 305 and Sportsman Club Road as it traveled northbound on Bainbridge Island on its way to the bridge, knocking the signal out of position.

Highway 305 is the only link between the Winslow ferry terminal and the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas. Traffic delays caused by the accident and the damage assessment caused major backups on Highway 305 all afternoon. It is not known whether an afternoon power outage that began at 1:35 p.m. on the island was related.

The truck sustained significant damage to its hydraulic system during the bridge accident and the boom could not be lowered.

A police officer at the scene directed the driver to deflate the tires under the crane, so the truck could be rolled backward on its wheel rims off the bridge.

Traffic was completely blocked for at least 15 minutes, with one lane opening after that and the second just before 1 p.m.

Personnel from the Washington State Patrol, state Department of Transportation, Bainbridge Island Fire Department and Suquamish police responded.

The damaged traffic signal at Sportsman Club Road appeared to be flipped, with the signals not visible to motorists, said Bainbridge Police Detective Mo Stich.

Charges are pending against the truck driver. The hydraulic boom was not tied down or secured as required by law. The truck was registered to ECO-PAN of Kent.<

South L.A. Power Fest Illustrates Successful Placemaking Requires Deep Community Roots
"We are only as strong as our weakest link," youth leader Alfonso Aguilar tells the youth participating in the South Central Youth Empowered through Action (SCYEA) program at Community Coalition (CoCo).
"So, if you're feeling weak, step into the center of the circle."
Much to my surprise, a dozen students ranging from 14 to 18 years old move into a huddle in the middle and immediately link arms. Those left on the outside circle cheer them on and pledge their support before the circle collapses in a massive group hug.
It was an uplifting way to end what had been a long day for them — it was now well after 7 p.m. and the youth had come to CoCo directly after school so they could get a snack, do their homework, and pound the pavement in the surrounding neighborhoods to promote this weekend's South L.A. Power Fest at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park.
I was there because I had wanted to do the door-knocking outreach with the SCYEA youth.
Much like when Erick Huerta and I assisted CicLAvia with door-knocking in Boyle Heights, I was looking to hear directly from community members about how they saw their neighborhood and their relationship with the public space. I spend enough time in South L.A. to feel like I know the needs and concerns pretty well, but its important to continue to check in and listen, especially as the area grows and changes.
It seems even more important to listen to the youth from the area — like those CoCo had tasked with doing the outreach as part of their leadership training — who often feel constraints on their mobility in the public space most acutely.
So, I was thrilled when CoCo gave me the OK to tag along with their door-knockers last week.
Besides being really cool youth, it was clear that they knew the issues well, cared about engaging neighbors, and were sincere in wanting residents to come out to the event.
As we canvassed an area near Manual Arts High School on 41st St., Raymond Davis (above, left) would announce he was a sophomore there, that he knew the concerns of the community, and that he wanted a place for kids to be able to play where parents wouldn't have to be fearful for their safety.
The festival would have something for everyone, he would continue, including a job and other resources tent, information on healthcare enrollment, cooking demonstrations, food trucks, music, zumba, and an artivist (artists + activism) tent where local artists will share their work and contributions to social justice.
"I don't like that park," one man said, scowling as he turned the event flyer over in his fingers. Read more…

One of the earliest images of Jesus,
from St. Callisto catacomb in Rome (ca. 250 AD)
Around the time of the beginning of the Roman Empire, a new religion began among the Jews living in Israel: Christianity. Christianity tapped into a lot of ideas that people were starting to think about more at this time, like the idea of the afterlife, the separation of church and state, and the separation of the soul from the body. Partly because of this, and partly because of good organizational skills, Christianity was a big success, and quickly spread all over the Roman Empire, and also (though not as much) into the Parthian Empire and to the Goths and other Germanic people. At first there was a lot of trouble. Many Romans and many Parthians hated the Christians and sometimes Christians were killed. But by 312 AD, three hundred years later, there was a Christian Roman Emperor, and a hundred years after that it was illegal NOT to be a Christian. This is the story of how Christianity got to be so important.

Texas state senator Wendy Davis has been on a whirlwind media tour since her filibuster (and a screaming mob) blocked a vote on a bill that would ban most abortions during the final four months of pregnancy and improve safety standards at abortion facilities.
Davis has been asked many questions--about her shoes, what it was like to stand and talk for so long, and whether she's offended by Gov. Rick Perry. But you'll have to search very hard to find a tough question challenging Davis to defend her opposition to bill. Just take a look at the 20 questions Davis had to answer during four interviews with well-respected, mainstream journalists at CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS.
Here are the six (closely paraphrased) questions CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Davis last week:
1. How are you even awake today?
2. What was it like standing for that long?
3. It was a remarkable scene. Did you have any idea that it would grow like this?
4. What did this filibuster accomplish if Governor Perry can bring it up in another special session?
5. Was the time stamp on the vote intentionally falsified in an attempt to pass the bill?
6. Will you filibuster again?
Here are the six questions ABC's Jeff Zeleny asked Davis on This Week:
7. Why did you decide to wear your running shoes? Let's take a look at those … they've kind of been rocketing around the Internet.
8. As the filibuster was going on, you were receiving support from a lot of people and places far away from Texas, from movie stars and the president …
9. The front page of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is featuring the back and forth with Governor Perry and you. He has made this very personal against you. Is that offensive?
10. Do you believe SB5 will become law?
11. Will you have to filibuster again?
12. You gonna put these shoes on again?
Here are the four questions CBS's Bob Schieffer asked Davis on Face the Nation:
13. What went through your mind when you heard the governor? Because, basically, what he was saying was what would have happened if-- if your mother had had an abortion?
14. Well, after coming under these attacks, do you regret taking the front row that you did on this and leading this charge?
15. Do you think you can actually stop this from happening because, as you well know, the governor has called another special session of the legislature which starts tomorrow?
16. There is a poll out down there by the Texas Tribune that says sixty percent of Texans support banning abortions after twenty weeks, which is one of the things that this bill would do. It also closes down a lot of places where women can now get abortions. Do you feel that being the case isn't that going to make it even more difficult for you?
And here are the four questions NBC's David Gregory asked Davis on Meet the Press:
17. For all that you have achieved in terms of your profile and your views, are you not just delaying the inevitable?
18. The issue at hand, banning abortions after 20 weeks, is actually not as divisive, frankly, as other parts of the abortion debate. You look at some recent polling, which I can put up on the screen indicating even among women there's 50% support for a 20-week abortion ban. Does that concern you, that you're fighting on a particular battleground that, you know, is pretty evenly viewed?
19. Senator, do you think a 20-week ban on abortion is acceptable? Do you think it's reasonable?
20. You don't accept the notion that, while he was certainly disagreeing with you, he was holding up your life story in a way to compliment you?
Out of these 20 questions, Davis wasn't asked once to explain the difference between infanticide and late-term abortions.
Precisely one question (credit to David Gregory) dealt with the substance of the bill. Gregory prodded Davis to explain why the 20-week ban isn't "reasonable" and "acceptable," but he didn't follow up when Davis's answer made no sense.
Davis replied that there is a constitutional right to "these reproductive decisions up to the point of viability." But medical advancements have moved the point of "viability" up to 20 weeks after conception, the point at which the Texas bill would protect life. As Dr. Colleen Malloy of Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine testified before Congress in 2012, "I'm here because it's easy for me to imagine these babies at 20 to 24 weeks post-fertilization age because they are my patients in the NICU."
So after all of these interviews, Davis hasn't given a clear reason why she opposes a bill protecting the lives of babies old enough to be preemies cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit.
What legal limits, if any, does Davis support? Should elective, post-viability abortions be legal? (Yes, they do happen.) Why shouldn't Texas establish regulations similar to the regulations Pennsylvania established in the wake of Kermit Gosnell in order to protect women from being killed by abortionists? Why shouldn't a billion-dollar non-profit like Planned Parenthood be able to afford improvements to safety standards?
These are all simple, obvious questions that Davis hasn't been asked during her whirlwind media tour. One pathetic softball interview might be written off as an outlier, but when CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS more or less play the same game, one can't help but notice a pattern.

We'll let you know. We need to firm up something anyway... Perhaps I'll create a new thread in this Denver Forum and see who else we can shake out.

Just a quick (oh, maybe not!!) update regarding the ECC - I will not be renewing my membership. They have gone 100% digital, which I knew going into it, however, they are not remotely open (or friendly) to me being a film shooter.
This is my opinion only and I don't intend to badmouth this group. As a fan of analog, I'm sharing my observations with you all. Since this shows up on the first page of Google, I figured I'd better state that fact. If you are 100% digital and are a big fan of computer manipulation, you will get a lot more out of this group than I did (for the record, I am very experience in Photoshop and digital graphics design - it's a big part of my career).
* On day 1, new members were asked to introduce themselves. I became an instant outcast by stating I was a primarily B&W film shooter with a wet darkroom. Folks actually avoided talking to me... and, as those on here who know me can attest (I would hope), I am a very friendly and open person. I did not present myself as a film snob at all - I'm not, in fact, I do both film and digital and I stated this fact.
* A month didn't seem to go by when somebody wasn't complaining about how horrid it was during the film era. The key message - digital is the best thing ever to happen to photography. Yes, film is "harder" I guess, but it is not horrid.
* They won't bring in pros anymore to give talks/slideshows/presentations, but will instead focus on providing digital seminars (primarily Photoshop, Lightroom, and Silver Efex - or whatever software program or plug-in is hot that week).
* Finally, the format of the competitions. It is a silent affair, where the judge speaks only and after judging, most folks grab their stuff and leave. There is very, very little discussion on the good and bad points of the photographs and therefore, very little growth for me as a photographer, which was my primary goal.
Overall, it wasn't a wasted membership. I did come out with a heap of darkroom gear (for free) on two separate occasions. However, I came out very depressed that I couldn't find any kinship in a hobby that I love with this group. Be it digital or analog, there is still a lot of common ground. There may have been other factors at work, but I definitely did not feel welcomed nor did I gain anything photographically or personally.
Very odd that a photography/camera club would care what technology you use to produce a photograph. I'm not even sure what "gone 100% digital" could mean. You guys show up with prints, right? Not CD-ROMs or CF cards. Very, very odd. I'll vouch for your friendliness, so it can't be that.
My only theory as to your being "shunned" is that many in the club probably started photography after the digital revolution. Perhaps film makes members feel a bit uneasy because they perceive it as something on which they can't hold up their end of the conversation. And, whether you're friendly or not, maybe they expect you to think you're a little "above" them, and that makes them uneasy. Heck, they might feel the same if I showed up with my M8 and a prime lens, rather than a DSLR+zoom. At the other end of the scale, I wonder how they treat people that show up with a 6mp Canon Elph?
OK, enough pop psychology. I guess they should change their name to the EDCC.
Their loss.
Just struck me: Of course, if we wanted to have real fun, several of us could show up to a meeting with film cameras. Then you wouldn't be outnumbered .
I agree with you Mike. They do have a digital entry class, which are emailed and projected, but the other two judging classes are color print and monochrome print.
I'm not sure what their reason is... the club has been around for over 50 years, and most (99% of the club are near retirement age or beyone) have been around during the 100% analog era. So, many were film photogs (I mean, artists!) in their past. It seems to be more of a digital snobbery, where they think using FILM is a step back, and THEY are superior. That is my impression anyway.

That'd be a hoot. Though I doubt it'd make much of an impression.

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Everett, WA
Summary: ↑
This action will establish Class E surface airspace at Everett, WA. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft executing Special Visual Flight Rules (SVFR) operations at Everett, Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field), Everett, WA. This will improve the safety of SVFR aircraft at the Everett, Snohomish County Airport. Additionally this action also corrects the geographic location of Everett, Snohomish County Airport.

Supplementary information: ↑
History ↑
On June 1, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Everett, WA, (72 FR 30500). This action would improve the safety of SVFR aircraft at Everett, Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field), Everett, WA. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order.
The Rule ↑
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Everett, WA. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate SVFR aircraft at Everett, Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field), Everett, WA.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a "significant rule" under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of subjects in 14 cfr part 71 ↑
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
Adoption of the Amendment ↑In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
Part 71—designation of class a, b, c, d, and e airspace areas; air traffic service routes; and reporting points ↑1. The authority citation for 14 CFR part 71 continues to read as follows:
Authority: ↑

The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal Aviation Administration Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006 is amended as follows:

That airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 3,100 feet MSL within a 4.5-mile radius of the Snohomish County Airport. This Class E airspace is effective when the tower is not in operation. The effective date and time will be continuously published in the Airport/Facility Directory.* * * * * Issued in Seattle, Washington, on August 2, 2007.

Hair is a big deal.
We talk about it a lot at Adoption Mosaic, behind the scenes, on the blog, in The Adoption Constellation magazine, and in our workshop African American Hair Care. Whether we like it or not, hair matters.
Here is an interesting perspective from Workshop for Beginners blog, the author is a white adoptive mother of an Ethiopian boy. Here is a quote, but go read the entire post. It's worth it.
From the post:
"…the truth is, the kids I see who happen to have loose, big hair tend to have mothers like me. Moms who aren't Black.
And that, well, that just didn't sit so well with me. That general ignoring of culture. Of ethnicity.
I mean- who am I, the one who happens to be begging for ideas on how to make sure my son grows up knowing how to be Black, if I happen to kick aside words such as those quoted above? To be ignoring the words of the woman in the merkato? To be shoving aside the opinions of African American women and Ethiopian American women who happen to live all around me? Who am I if I ignore these women because I, the European American, want my kid to have big, wild hair… because I think it looks cute and it's so awesome and isn't it incredible and so deserving of celebration?"

Time to end 'zero tolerance' policy in schools
There are laws on the books with good intentions. However, reality soon sets in and what was thought to be a good idea begins to show a few holes.
Such is the case with the public school system's "zero tolerance" policy. As school violence increased over recent years, the policy was implemented to set strict guidelines with no room for appeal. And then the horror stories started.
Elementary students across the nation were expelled for pocket knives or other camping gear. Suspicious looking keychains got a student sent home. What was intended to keep guns and dangerous weapons out of schools ended up with Boy Scouts being kicked out for forgetting to take out their Swiss Army knife after a weekend in the woods.
It's one thing to bring a loaded gun to school. It's completely different forgetting you still have that lighter in your pocket after building campfires.
According to a segment of All Things Considered on NPR, roughly three million students were expelled between the 2010-2011 school year. That has led the Obama administration in the last week to push for newer guidelines and scrap the zero tolerance idea.
"The proposed guidelines require more training in classroom management and conflict resolution, clearer rules for faculty and security personnel in deciding what constitutes a major threat to school safety versus a kid simply acting out," NPR said. "Federal government figures show that of the three million students who were suspended or expelled during the 2010-2011 school year, a quarter of a million were referred to law enforcement, even though 95 percent were for non-violent behavior."
There are also a couple of bills before the Georgia General Assembly this year to revise the zero tolerance policy.
We hope they pass. It's time to do away with the zero tolerance policy for public schools.
Instead, disciplinary actions should be left to the principals and administration. It's part of what they are trained to do. Tying their hands means good kids face expulsion because they simply forgot.
We believe it is up to the individual school administrations to deal with each situation on a case-by-case basis. They know the students best, as well as the intent — or lack thereof.

Hill Langdell Designs for Vocalist Jo Straw
Nottingham based vocalist Jo Straw commissioned the design team at Hill Langdell to create a striking new poster campaign for a series of performances over the summer of 2010.
Jo performs classic songs from the Soul/Motown era spanning the generations to modern day R & B. Her strong, rich voice and stage presence required promotional material to reflect that personality. We used a simple yet bold design combined with high-contrast monochrome photography for a sophisticated impact.
Jo Straw said "I wanted something very different, it was important to me to capture the mood just right. I am very pleased with the outcome and love the effect of black and white. - it was fun to do too!"

The Wisconsin mens soccer team concluded its season Thursday in a tight 1-0 loss to Michigan State in the first round of the Big Ten Championship in Ann Arbor, Mich. The loss set the UWs 2004 record at 9-10-0 and 2-4-0 in the Big Ten. The Spartans improved to 10-6-1 and will continue to play one-seed Indiana, Friday.
I thought we came out a little bit slow today and we depended on Eric Hanson to make a couple of big saves for us in the first half and he did, said head coach Jeff Rohrman. I thought they countered us pretty well a few times and we just werent keeping the ball as well as we demonstrated we can.
Despite a Spartan goal at 22:05 the Badger defense did a lot to stop an aggressive MSU offense. In his final game at Wisconsin, senior Hanson came up with seven big saves for the Badgers. Meanwhile, the Wisconsin backfield kept the ball moving and deterred four other shots from hitting on goal.
I thought in the second half we played much better, just the technical level we were playing at, the concentration and just keeping the ball overall was much better, said Rohrman . Unfortunately, we just couldnt get that goal. I think we created a couple of good chances, yet we couldnt find the frame.
On the attack, the Badgers presented several scoring opportunities but with just two shots on goal were unable to finish any of their chances.
With the loss, the Badgers say goodbye to five seniors. The core of the Wisconsin team, the contributions of each athlete is tangible. Coach Rohrman had this to say about those graduating.
As I told the guys, these five seniors have invested so much into the program and really raised us to a level that they can be very proud of, said Rohrman. Theyve laid tremendous groundwork for the young guys to continue. Theyre going to be missed. They all bring wonderful qualities and have each left their impression on the program.
Hanson, senior and tri-captain reflected on the game, his career at Wisconsin and the future.
It was a good game, commented Hanson. Its not a great last game to have, but Im glad to have played well. Its just sad sitting in the tent, all five of us looking at each other knowing that it was the last time that we were going to play together. The team will be alright, but Im going to miss them. I want to try to play somewhere and well see what happens now, but Ive had a blast.
Rohrman stressed the teams need to start looking ahead and preparing for next season.
Our mind has to be in preseason mode starting tomorrow, said Rohrman. Its not going to happen if we start thinking about it on August 1, or March 1. Its got to happen tomorrow and its going to take everyone whos coming back to really commit to getting better through the winter and taking their game up a couple notches through the spring as well.

RESTON, Va. - The championship game of the Tier II 16U national tournament came down to special teams play, and it just wasnt that kind of day for the St. Lawrence Thunder.
The Oakland Jr. Grizzlies broke a 1-1 tie with two goals in first half of the third period and held on to edge the Thunder 3-2 in the title game. Oakland was two for six on the powerplay, while the Thunder, whose powerplay had been dangerous over the first five games of the tournament, was held scoreless on five man advantage opportunities.
The Grizzlies opened the scoring with a powerplay goal midway through the first period. Logan Ford tied it at 1-1 at the 6:43 mark of period number two. Hayden Hart and Patrick Manning drew assists on the Thunders first goal.
Oakland regained the lead with another powerplay goal 3:21 into the third period and added the eventual game winner at the 9:31 mark.
Hart closed the lead to 3-2 with 3:58 left in the contest with Lukas Arquiett credited with an assist, but the Thunder were unable to net the equalizer.
Logan Brothers had 15 saves in the Thunder net. The Massena team fired 24 shots on the Oakland cage.
It marked the third consecutive year the Thunder have been silver medalists at the national tournament. The Thunder 14U team made it to the championship game, and this years midget team featured a large number of players who had been on those bantams teams.

Flooding forces evacuations, floods roads in MidwestCEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Rising water from the Cedar River forced the evacuation of a downtown hospital Friday after residents of more than 3,000 homes fled for higher ground. A railroad bridge collapsed, and 400 city blocks were under water. In Des Moines, 100 miles to the southwest, officials issued a voluntary evacuation order for much of downtown and other areas bordering the Des Moines River. Mayor Frank Cownie said the evacuations were an attempt 'to err on the side of citizens and residents.' Des Moines is Iowa's capital and largest city, with about 190,000 residents. But the hardest-hit was Cedar Rapids, a city of 124,000 people. Gov. Chet Culver declared 83 of the state's 99 counties to be state disaster areas, and nine rivers were at or above historic flood levels. Elsewhere in the upper Midwest, rivers and streams tipping their banks forced evacuations, closed roads, and even threatened drinking water. Jury rules in favor of R. Kelly in trial CHICAGO - R. Kelly was acquitted of all charges Friday after less than a day of deliberations in his child pornography trial, ending a six-year ordeal for the R&B superstar. Kelly dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict - not guilty on all 14 counts - was read. The Grammy award-winning singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted. Manson follower Atkins mulled for sick release CORONA, Calif. - Former Charles Manson follower Susan Atkins, convicted in the 1969 murder of actress Sharon Tate, could soon be released from prison because she is near death, authorities said. Atkins, 59, is terminally ill and being considered for so-called 'compassionate release,' state corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton said. She gave no details of Atkins' illness, but said a doctor had determined she had less than six months to live. The corrections department was reviewing the request, which if approved would then be passed to the state Board of Parole which has the power to release Atkins under state law so they can die with loved ones, at their expense. Police: 2 dead in shooting at N.C. bottling plant CONCORD, N.C. - Two people were shot and killed Friday morning during an apparent robbery at a soda bottling plant north of Charlotte, authorities said. Concord deputy police chief Guy Smith said authorities were using a helicopter and police dogs to hunt for the shooter, who was seen running away from the Sun-drop Bottling Co. carrying a box. He remained at large late Friday afternoon. 'We have 25 to 30 investigators who are following every lead,' Smith said. 'When someone is carrying a box from the scene, you want to talk to them.' Missing clip not seen as problem for shuttle's re-entry CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A metal clip broke off Discovery's rudder and only four hours passed before the seven space shuttle astronauts got the good news: The missing part poses no danger for today's re-entry and landing. Ever since the Columbia tragedy five years ago, any shuttle part seen floating away in orbit gets NASA's attention - fast. Mission Control reassured commander Mark Kelly and his crew on Friday that their spaceship was safe for coming home, and that the missing clip would not jeopardize anything. Good weather is expected for today's landing in Florida. N.C. couple face murder in death of son tied to tree RALEIGH, N.C. - A couple accused of tying their 13-year-old son to a tree for two nights to punish him for disobedience has been charged with murder in his death, authorities said Friday. Brice Brian McMillan, 41, of Macclesfield, told a deputy that the child was being disobedient and was forced to sleep outside Tuesday while tied to a tree, the Edgecombe County Sheriff's Office said. The teenager was released Wednesday morning but again tied up that night for bad behavior, authorities said. The boy was left tied to the tree until the following afternoon when his stepmother found him unresponsive, Sheriff James Knight said. Knight said authorities believe the boy was bound to the tree with plastic ties and possibly other kinds of material. Serial killer pleads guilty to slaying from 1979 in Pa. READING, Pa. - A confessed serial killer has pleaded guilty to the 1979 rape and murder of a nurse in southeast Pennsylvania. Sixty-three-year-old Timothy Krajcir was sentenced to life in prison Friday after admitting that he killed 51-year-old Myrtle Rupp inside her Berks County home in 1979. Krajcir has admitted killing nine women in four states in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He has received life sentences for five killings in southeast Missouri and two killings in southern Illinois.
