HUNTERSVILLE – Hopewell High School's Junior ROTC group won the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools' Superintendent's Cup again this year for the sixth time in the last seven years.
Hopewell was selected over 19 other JROTC programs to include Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corp programs from all over Mecklenburg County.
The Superintendent's Cup is awarded annually to the JROTC program that finishes first place overall during the school year.
The CMS JROTC programs all compete in a series of events throughout the school year, including sports, a drill competition, orienteering, an academic bowl competition, field day competition (track and field) and community service.
This year Hopewell JROTC won the Superintendent's Cup by the widest margin of victory in the 10 year history of the award. Hopewell JROTC won first place in every event except one during the yearlong competition.
The Superintendent's Cup is a rotating trophy that stays with the school that wins until the following year's ceremony.
In addition, three Hopewell JROTC Cadets were acknowledged for individual awards at the ceremony.
Cadet Colton Hudson was presented the CMS award for Outstanding Leadership, Cadet Kenneth Tran was presented the CMS award for Scholastic Excellence, and Cadet Cole Riley was presented the CMS award for Outstanding Citizenship.
Hopewell High JROTC is looking forward to next year's competition and plans to hold onto the Superintendent's Cup for as long as possible.
Col. Mike Puckett, Command Sgt. Maj. Cleveland Penn, and 1st Sgt. Daniel Ferriero have been the three instructors for Hopewell High School JROTC during the all of the six Superintendent's Cup titles.

If I've been quiet, it's because I've been working behind the scenes to make a few changes to the site. The first of those is obvious – I've gone back to using the Thesis Theme, spiffed up with the help of Hesham Zebida's Silver Skin, from ThesisAwesome.
One of the great things that does is give regular contributors a nice author bio – see Dan's here. Meanwhile Chris Hoole, who's contributed a couple of posts in the past, will be posting here occasionally (welcome, Chris), which I think is a great addition to the team. On the front page, you can now see more posts, along with author details, comments and tweets.
You'll also notice some changes in the sidebar. The most recent posts in our most popular categories are near the bottom. The Ask Sharon box is gone, mainly because most of the people using it wanted me to hire them (sorry, I'm not hiring). Instead, I've added some of the common questions asked, with links to resources on this site. If there's something you want to know that's not answered there, then by all means contact me via the site or ask me on Twitter, my Facebook page or my Google+ profile. You can find links to subscription options and social profiles in the top navigation menu and in the sidebar.
I've still got a couple more changes planned, to make some of the nearly 800 posts more accessible. For example, I'm looking for a better way of displaying the sitemap and also linking to some of the series we've published here. If there's anything that would make this site more usable for you, contact me and I'll be happy to consider it.

Hi taffyrose235,
I can't tell what could be the cause of the issue without knowing more. Please provide us with details what "stuff comes up every time". You could create a screenshot and upload it to some online storage service to show us the exact problem.
Without knowing more, these FAQ's may provide more details:
Infected system file is repeatedly detected by AVG and not removed

What are tracking cookie files?
Thank you.
I ran AVE everyday, but the same stuff comes up
every time, so I don't believe the AVG really removes

This is my favorite pic of my son and me on a windy, twisty, snaking sort of road in Custer NP. Rick loves it...but I'm not going to say WHY he loves it.
Beautiful photo. So then, whisper to me why he likes it.
Doesn't look like too comfortable of a position for a very long ride!
I kinda suspected it was the view!
Nope, nope, nope! Not doing that sort of thing. Scraping foot pegs is waaaaay to close for comfort for me!
Good to know that you did well though.

The promise
Doug Salkewicz has a yarn about every place he has ever worked and he usually caps it off with a pithy lesson learned or even a moral. What goes around, comes around, he will conclude like a modern-day Aesop. Or, Its not what you accomplish thats important, its who you help along the way. One in particular sticks out in his mind. It was the only job I ever quit on the spot, says the president of Advanced Technical Welding Inc. in Etowah, a mountain community near Hendersonville.
It was just down the road from his boyhood home in Saddle Brook, N.J. He distinctly remembers Bernie, who sat behind a window overlooking the shop floor. When Bernie watched, everybody worked. But the moment he stopped, it was like someone had blown a whistle, Salkewicz, 63, recalls. Production halted. Talking began. Gossip was rampant; back stabbing, routine. It was a horrible place. The friction was so thick, you could cut it with a machete. Lesson learned? Bernie in the window produces nothing except forced labor and a forced end result. Moral? A harmonious environment is a breeding ground for good.
Thus spoke Salkewicz (pronounced Sal-ka-wits). Itd be easy to dismiss him as just another sententious storyteller dispensing tired saws were it not for the fact that he had to stand behind one of his pronouncements. Since 1987, when he set up his shop specializing in making emergency repairs via microscopic welds, he has vowed he would never, ever lay off an employee. In 2009, he had to put his money where his mouth was specifically $39,000 that came from cashing in one of his own certificates of deposit. The 39 grand was about two-thirds of what his company lost last year, the only time it has been in the red. He cut his own pay 25%. Im remembering what paydays felt like, and Im saying to myself, You cant let this car crash. I guess it was put up or shut up. You said you were going to do it. And he did.
This business seems to represent and embody the standard to which every business should strive, says Shane Gebauer, general manager of Brushy Mountain Bee Farm Inc. in Moravian Falls, last years Business North Carolina Small Business of the Year. Its one reason Salkewiczs company is this years winner. Quite frankly, Advanced Technical Weldings commitment to employees pushed them to the top for me, says Gebauer, who with N.C. Small Business Commissioner Scott Daugherty and BNC Publisher Ben Kinney judged the competition.
Salkewiczs storytelling starts with his Polish immigrant grandparents, who lost their candy store in Bayonne, N.J. and everything else in the Depression. They wouldnt take charity and shunned soup lines. My father came home with something one day, and my grandmother wouldnt eat it. She was infuriated. Thats the way I feel. I can get credit anywhere, but I dont want credit. His father did home renovations and kitchen remodeling. I had four jobs when I was a kid. We were brought up with a good work ethic.
He still remembers the day he was sitting in his high schools guidance office, poring over books on careers when he came upon a description of what goes on in machine shops. It kind of jumped out at me, and I said this is what I want to do. Apprenticing 8,000 hours over four years while attending night school made him a certified machinist. His first job, though, was installing phones for New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. He liked the job and was on his way to becoming a supervisor, but a visit to the the North Carolina mountains in 1970 changed everything.
His wife, Diane, had worked in Brevard in the mid-60s as a Catholic missionary and kindergarten teacher and wanted to move there. As soon as he saw the place, he felt the same way. He had never liked New Jerseys dense population, the dog-eat-dog atmosphere, the traffic. The mountains, he says, were heaven to me. They still are. After trying unsuccessfully to transfer to a Bell System affiliate in North Carolina, he went to the Employment Security Commission office and took the first job he interviewed for at M-B Industries Inc. in Rosman.
WinnerADVANCED TECHNICAL WELDING INC.
Headquarters: Etowah Owner: Doug Salkewicz Employees: 9 Founded: 1987 Projected 2010 revenue: $700 thousand Business: microwelder
It was good to get back into a machine shop. Find something you love to do and pursue it with a passion and dont look at the money, he advises. He operated big lathes and grinders and did repair work on massive pumps once their worn interiors had been sprayed with liquid steel. M-B CEO Ed Morrow was extremely fair, he recalls. Ed was the kind of boss that made everybody feel like they were important. If he was in the building, he came over and talked to you.
At his next job, at T&T Machine Shop Inc. in Etowah, Joe Morgan taught him fiscal conservatism, a lesson that stuck with him. He also learned how to retain employees an important element when you employ highly trained and skilled welders. He felt you should take the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. As with previous jobs, once Salkewicz absorbed all he could, he found another shop where he could pick up a new skill. I liked learning, and whenever I felt a job stagnating, I moved on. At Atlas Mold Inc. in Arden, he worked as a toolmaker, building injection molds and learning to repair them with tiny welds. Its a skill he has passed on to the people who work for him now.
If a commercial welder is equivalent to a general practitioner, he says, then a microwelder is a surgeon. The intricate edges and details of injection molds are often damaged when the presses mistakenly close upon units that havent been properly ejected. Working under a microscope, he learned to make minute repairs, adding as little as 10 thousandths of an inch of material to a worn part. Its hard to imagine the scale of work microwelders routinely do or the concentration it requires. Consider this: Viewed under a 45-power microscope, a pointed tool that one of Salkewiczs welders painstakingly restored is dwarfed by the D mint mark on a penny. Its impossible to see the demarcation between the welded repair and the repaired part. Another job involves an inline filter, about the size of a fountain pen and shaped similarly. The edges of two tiny rectangles of mesh screen one made of wire .002 of an inch in diameter, the other .005 are rolled around one another like cigarette papers and then welded together along a seam before being attached to the two nozzle ends of the filter. See how tiny the screen is, Salkewicz says. If the heat of the weld in any way distorts the wire thinner than hair it wont pass inspection.
That one used up a lot of brain cells, says Steven Chandler, who has worked for Salkewicz 21 years. It took us a day to figure out how to do it and at least an hour and a half per part. Hes doing 150 of them. I tell my dentist I take out my tension at night grinding my teeth.
After four years at Atlas learning to make precise microwelds, Salkewicz decided he would strike out on his own. I felt at that point I knew enough about the industry and management practices to start my own business, and I also felt there was a need. At that time, October 1987, there were 22 shops molding plastic and building molds in and around Henderson and Buncombe counties but no one specializing in microweld repair of the molds that were routinely damaged. With his boss blessing, he worked at Atlas from 6 in the morning to 5:30 in the evening, then did microwelding jobs in the basement of his house in Brevard each night until midnight or later. I dont find working a chore, he says. If you dread Mondays, find another job because you dont have a job you love.
By the following April, he had enough business to quit his job. His wife helped out, picking up and delivering parts. In 1989, he hired Chandler, straight out of Blue Ridge Community College and, a year later, Jody Wood, another recent BRCC graduate. He trained them both. The basement was small, only 1,500 square feet. You couldnt help but be close, Chandler recalls. You had someone on your shoulder. Air conditioning was an open door, supplemented by a huge fan. I always told them if we ever get out of here, Salkewicz says, it would be to a nice place, not like a hot box.
In 1992, Salkewicz designed and subcontracted the construction of the shop of his dreams. Snugly nestled among rhododendrons and majestic oaks, the low-slung 5,725-square-foot building looks more like someones posh residence than a commercial building, with a jutting roof, tinted wrap-around windows and a handsome, angular design. Welders have their own offices with soundproofing and doors they can shut when a job requires a high degree of concentration. We were started under one principal, Salkewicz says, if we could make it, I would give it back.
Giving includes covering all costs of health insurance for his nine employees and their families including paying their deductibles. The company also contributes 4% of their annual gross pay, whether they are part-time or full-time, to a retirement account. Wages average about $45,000 a year, if you include the cost of benefits. Chandler and his co-workers will tell you Advanced Technical Welding is a good place to work judged by any standard, but ask them whats best about their jobs and theyll tell you. Its trust, Chandler says. He gives you something and turns you loose with it. Its the freedom to do your job without a constant What are you doing you gotta do it my way.
Carolyn Powell has known Salkewicz since they worked together at M-B in 1972. When it comes to rush jobs, she says, his workers go over and beyond expectations and the reason for that can be boiled down to one word: respect. Doug is a fair person and has that close-knit personality of being good to his employees and the vendors he does work for. Bo Duncan, tool shop supervisor at LMR Plastics Inc. in Greenville, Tenn., which does a lot of work for John Deere, recalls a tool breaking on Friday afternoon and Salkewicz having someone at the shop at 8 a.m. Saturday to fix it. Doug takes care of us whatever weve got to have. As Joe Cond with BorgWarner Turbo Systems in Arden puts it: Working with him, you can tell hes a genuine guy and follows through. He does what he says hes going to do. And he goes above and beyond, to be honest.
The current recession is the third that the company has weathered. We went through 92 with no trouble because we were small, Salkewicz says. During and after the 2001 recession, we kept our heads above the water, but just barely. Thats largely because of the companys fiscal conservatism. For instance, Salkewicz had paid off the 10-year loan on the building in eight years. He often pays cash for new machinery or a vehicle. Bills are paid every two weeks. I try not to get in debt, he says. I dont like it.
From 2003 to 2008, he says, we were doing good. We were making a good profit. But he watched with dismay as one manufacturer of plastic parts after another went out of business from 22 in 1987 to eight today. China came in and cleaned us out. In 08, the whole economy changed. Automotive tanked. Housing tanked. It started to dip around November, December of 08. By 09, we were in the oh-what-are-we-going-to-do-now mode. Some weeks, the shop got fewer than 25 jobs, down from 55 the year before. It was nerve-wracking, Salkewicz says, closing his eyes as he carefully conjures up the adjectives. Unnerving. Frightening. I prayed like crazy: Please give me just enough work to keep these people here. Because I cant send them home.
Some of the jobs Advanced Technical Welding took in were neither advanced nor technical. When times got hard, Chandler says, it didnt matter to us whether it was a broken chair down the road. If it kept the door open, wed take it. We had everything from bed rails to rifle parts. To keep his people busy, Salkewicz found them odd jobs around the shop, even if it was only yard work. He figures he could have made a profit if he had let two go. But Salkewicz reflected on what happened to his brother-in-law, laid off after 22 years as a pharmaceutical salesman when his company merged with a competitor. It was a corporate hatchet job, Salkewicz says. Losing his apartment, his brother-in-law had to move in with relatives. He was out of work for about a year, and I saw the effects of that monetarily and psychologically. Ive seen other people lose their jobs. Its just devastating.
Put in business terms, there was another reason he couldnt let them go: He needed to protect his investment. In effect, hes spending at least $150,000 to train a microwelder. Youre looking at about 3½ years before they can take a part off a UPS truck and say, I can do it. And its probably more than that because youre going to have mistakes that are going to come back and bite you bad. Still, he says, thats not his primary motivation. Youre trashing their lives. Thats the primary thing that stands out in my mind, not that you have to replace them.
As bad turned to worse in 09, Salkewicz called everyone into the conference room and asked them to do everything they could to cut costs and make sure that work didnt come back to be done over again. We all kind of buckled down and said well all do what we need to do to keep it going, Chandler recalls. The guys all talked about it and decided not to ask for raises and drop retirement. Salkewicz took them up on that. However, when December came, he decided not to call off the annual Christmas party. Nor did he cancel year-end bonuses, which he handed out in the conference room, one by one, to each employee. Everybody who came in here said, If youre not in a position to do this, dont give it to me. Thats the kind of people I have. So now my question is, Could you send them home?
Does he blame himself for not anticipating the downturn? I saw it coming. I was saving my money, but you cant control a collapsing housing market and an auto market that falls apart. Im hinged to all these markets just like everyone else. He did realize that he had focused too tightly on a niche market, repairing damaged parts in injection molds. He began doing work that the shop had once farmed out and went after other welding jobs further afield from manufacturers who work in aviation and for the military despite requiring a fair amount of paperwork.
Changing our website to focus on different markets and focusing on different sales strategies has started to show results, he says. Beginning in January, we were again profitable. Sales for the first six months of 2010 are up 10%, and revenue for the year should reach about $700,000. Hes giving raises again. The automotive sector seems to be picking up in the Greenville area. Some of the companies have gotten big contracts that will take them into 2015. In October, he picked up a new account from a parts maker in Alamance County. I survived because I did not overspend, he says. And because his employees helped him survive. I realized early on that if you commit to your employees, they in turn will commit to you.

Guests at Missoula?s Bel Aire motel got a rude awakening early Tuesday morning after an electrical fire forced police to evacuate the building.
The blaze started around 1:45 a.m. Fire officials say a neon sign near the roof of the motel sparked the fire, but crews were able to knock down the flames before they spread. Police evacuated the entire building, and say no one was hurt.
"They had to evacuate the whole bottom floor, the whole top floor,? said motel employee Joseph Freshment. ?They busted in the office door upstairs to get in, so it was quite the enjoyable evening.?

Fitzpatrick Wins Literature Award
Cassandra Fitzpatrick is only in seventh grade, but has already made a name for herself as a writer. The East Islip Middle School student won the Suffolk County Award of Excellence in Literature from the Suffolk Region PTA. Her poem "Diversity Is You" was one of two East Islip entries in this year's PTA Reflections art contest to achieve victory on the county level, and will move on to the next round of judging at the state level.
The title of her entry was based on this year's Reflections theme of "Diversity Means..." In Fitzpatrick's artist statement, she explained, "This poem related to the theme because it explains that even though everyone is different from one another, we all have one important thing in common – we're all people in this world and should all be treated equally."
"I am thrilled that Cassandra will represent the middle school in the PTA Reflections contest this year," said her English teacher, Ann Mingione. "She is an excellent writer who consistently strives to improve her work and attain high grades. In addition, she is a positive role model for her peers and naturally takes on leadership roles during cooperative learning groups."

Salman Rushdie's books, from "Midnight's Children" to "The Satanic Verses", have been read around the world. His recent book--"Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Imaginary Homelands 1981-90 ", and "The Moor's Last Sigh"--have enhanced his reputation as one of our most important contemporary writers.

The following is a personality profile of Salman Rushdie based on his work.
Salman Rushdie is a bit inconsiderate, shrewd and excitable.
He is laid-back, he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. He is unconcerned with art as well: he is less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. But, Salman Rushdie is also intermittent: he has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for self-expression.
Considers helping others to guide a large part of what he does: he thinks it is important to take care of the people around him. He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done.

There aren't a lot of artists holding their best singles back to hit the streets from mid-December through the New Year, with a large chunk of their target demographic more focused on making it through the holidays than keeping up on all the latest new releases. But some classics made it through regardless, from a Top 10 smash by Lil Wayne to Kanye's Christmas carol. Here's a look back at December's greatest singles, including some actual hits.
1. Lil Wayne, "6 Foot 7 Foot"
See? Lil Wayne knows you can't release an album called "Tha Carter IV" and not deliver.
That would explain why the first single out of the gate is easily the most intriguing thing he's done since "A Milli," the most intriguing track to crack the Top 10 from 2008's "Tha Carter III." In fact, it feels a little like a sequel - a sensation no doubt reinforced by the hypnotic Bollywood aesthetic "A Milli" producer Bangladesh brings to the table, aided by a Harry Belafonte sample that's ridiculously out of place here (in a good way).
And Weezy definitely makes the most of that aesthetic, swaggering his way through lines as instantly endearing as "Talking to myself because I am my own consultant" and "I call it like I see it and my glasses on/But most of y'all don't get the picture unless the flash is on." But the best line is also the loopiest: "Real G's move in silence like lasagna," which explains a lot.Lil Wayne Ft Corey Gunz - 6 Foot 7 by DJ Decko
2. Gorillaz, "Phoner to Arizona"
The first single released from Gorillaz' new iPad-made album "The Fall" is a squelchy electronic dreamscape topped by computerized vocals far too distorted to make any sense of what the singer/robot is saying - although, if it is a robot, chances are it's saying something about marching on the city. If this single represents the artier extreme of Damon Albarn's vision for Gorillaz, his pop sensibilities are in there, too (and, in fact, become obvious after just a couple listens). Also, Arizona-based Gorillaz fans will probably appreciate the mention in the title.
3. Panda Bear, "Last Night at the Jetty"
Panda Bear's latest is swimming in echo, easing you into the dream state with a loping drumbeat that doesn't begin to prepare you for the wistful, neo-psychedelic splendor of the melody - quite possibly the most engaging melody he's managed yet, with a bittersweet warmth to Panda Bear's delivery that's sure to bring in even more comparisons to Brian Wilson's most enduring work. And anyone who loved where he and Animal Collective took the sound on Merriweather Post-Pavilion should feel right at home here.
4. Dev, featuring the Cataracs, "Bass Down Low"
I suppose we have Ke$ha to blame for this, the last great party track of a year that swaggered in with Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" lodged at No. 1 for two entire months. The Black Eyed Peas may be the ones who earn the shout-out here (with the sexual promise of "giving you that Black Eyed Peas - you know, that 'Boom Boom Pow' "). But every other element of "Bass Down Low" feels custom-made for squeezing 15 extra minutes off that "Tik Tok" clock. It's there in the deadpan delivery of the spoken-word intro ("If you wanna get with me, there's some things you gotta know/I like my beats fast and my bass down low"). It's there in the throbbing electro-pop groove. And it's certainly there in the Valley Girl swagger of the vocals, especially the line "Quit frontin' while your husband tryin' to get his mitts in my oven." Of course, it also sounds a whole lot like that Far East Movement single, "Like a G6," the last hit single to feature Dev and the Cataracs.
5. PJ Harvey, "Written on the Forehead"
You could fit most female vocals in the history of pop in the stylistic chasm separating Harvey's lusty sneer on "Wang Dang Doodle" and the gorgeous, surprisingly vulnerable whisper of a vocal on this haunting preview of a Harvey album due in February. The reverb-heavy reggae vibe that kicks in midway through, accompanied by splashy tambourine, is sampled from a track called "Blood & Fire" by Jamaican producer Niney the Observer. But the atmospheric intro is more interesting, Harvey sighing an opening line about "People throwing dinars at the belly-dancers" to a gauzy backing track that couldn't sound more like a psychedelic daydream.
6. Kanye West, "Christmas in Harlem"
Only Kanye West would be this dirty and this corny on the same track, easily the most intriguing Christmas single of the season. And it sounds great, like the songs on Kanye's latest effort, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," with a familiar dose of old-school Christmas soul to underscore the winter mix of warm nostalgia and the quest for Christmas flesh. And somehow, Kanye pulls it off, grinning his way through such Kanye-esque come-ons as "Now pour some more eggnog in your drink, mami" and "You've been a bad girl/Give Santa three kisses/Gave her the hot chocolate/She said, 'It's de-ricious.' "Kanye West Christmas In Harlem by sienamakotey
7. Cee Lo Green, "It's OK"
Cee Lo earned two major Grammy nominations - Song and Record of the Year - for a mainstream-rocking smash that would result in major fines if he or one of the presenters should happen to slip up and call it by name on the broadcast. And the punchline is what made it such a timeless single is the joyous repetition of the F-word in the context of a song clearly rooted in the golden age of soul (when no sharply dressed singer would think to drop the F-bomb in the midst of that hit potential). "It's OK" is just as clearly rooted in the golden age of soul. And the singing is flawless. But without a decent gimmick, there's no way a single this retro is in any danger of storming the mainstream (which is kind of sad because it's really good, in its own way).
8. Taio Cruz featuring Travie McCoy, "Higher"
There's a worldwide version of "Higher" with Kylie Minogue on guest vocals, but here in the States, we get Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes/Hall & Oates tattoos fame. And the weird thing is, it more than holds its own against the Kylie version. Really. McCoy is surprisingly charming, throwing in an unexpected, smile-inducing reference to "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo." But every version works because the chorus hook is undeniable, although what ultimately matters is the throbbing club beat, which is pretty much exactly what people have come to expect from Cruz at this point.
9. Tinie Tempah featuring Kelly Rowland, "Invincible"
British rapper Tinie Tempah hooking up with a member of Destiny's Child? I did not see that coming. But apparently, Tinie was all about Destiny's Child growing up in South London, back when "Say My Name" and "Independent Women Part I" were all the rage, and he wanted to capture the flavor of Destiny's Child here - which he does, with a major assist from Rowland's soaring, soulful vocal. It doesn't sound as retro as it could, though, which is good, although it does pale a bit in comparison to such earlier Tinie triumphs as "Frisky" and "Miami 2 Ibiza."Tinie Tempah - Invincible (feat. Kelly Rowland) by tsamo
10. T.I. featuring Eminem, "That's All She Wrote"
If Eminem hadn't handed the mike off to his inner 9-year-old as often as he does here (rapping about the Penguin in his igloo eating fart-sicles - yes, fart-sicles), I would have rated this one higher. There's a real sense of drama at work in Dr. Luke and Max Martin's film-noir-ish production. And T.I.'s half-rapped, half-sung chorus hook is undeniable. But Eminem completely undermines the atmosphere, like throwing Robin Williams in a clown suit for an episode of "Boardwalk Empire."T.I Feat Eminem - That's All She Wrote by BURKEY

John Schisler to teach oil painting class April 5, 12 and 19
John Schisler will lead a class, Oil Painting - Classical Realism, from 10 a.m. to noon on three successive Saturdays, April 5, 12 and 19, at Gallery One in Ocean View. Students will develop skills in basic oil painting using form and color to create compositions from still-life setups. Students will learn the techniques of the Dutch Masters through the use of Maroger Medium, a medium Jacques Maroger formulated that is believed to be the same that Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt and Jan Van Eyck used to obtain qualities of color, shadow and brilliance.
Schisler is a native of Baltimore, Md., where, at the age of 17, he began painting with the Maroger Medium at the Conrad Miller studio under Nancy Lee Conrad and Melvin Miller. His style is classical realism and he makes the black oil that is used to make the medium, the oil paints and the mastic varnish. In early 2011, Schisler began to pursue a full-time career in art, now painting, exhibiting, and teaching from his studio in Georgetown.
The cost of all three sessions is $80. Further information about the class can be found at www.galleryonede.com or by calling the gallery at 302-537-5055.
Gallery One is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. seven days a week at 32 Atlantic Ave. in Ocean View.

The J.V. Bulldogs traveled Monday evening, Sept. 10, to Higginsville to face the Huskers. The J.V. Bulldogs lost 50-28.
Leading the way in scoring was Lance Molz with three rushing touchdowns and one by Jacob Studer. Cody Long scored twice on the two extra point tries.
"Over all, the offense is improving every week and getting better as one unit," said Coach Taylor Rainey.
On defense the dogs were led by Justice Hall and Teddie
Zimmerman with eight solo tackles. Jacob Studer had an interception.
"I was really pleased with the effort by the boys in this game. We still have a defensive unit that needs to fix the little mistakes that will help this team," said Coach Brian Koehler.
The J.V. Dogs are 1-2 on the season and will be on the road again against the Clinton Cardinals next Monday.

Today around noon, I enjoyed seeing the male Varied Thrush at 17774 Blackbird Trail, accessed from Ravenna Trail, southeast of Hastings. Richard, the home owner, loves to talk about the birds in this area, which is an excellent bird habitat near the Mississippi River. The thrush flew and perched on the crab apple tree, spruce tree and on the ground to feed. Park on the side of the road, and walk to the home. As reported before, the porch/ deck is the best place to view the bird. Many feeder birds were also on the ground and in the trees.
I also saw the female Long-tailed Duck previously reported at Point Douglas Park. The duck was with a large flock of Common Goldeneye, swimming beyond the numerous Canada Geese, which were resting on the ice near the shore. I was initiating my new scope, so was pleased to find the duck easily and get a clear view. It got much better, because the duck gradually swam toward the shore and scrambled up on the ice to rest with the geese! To get to Point Douglas Park, drive across the Hastings Bridge, turn right at Hwy 10, and drive until you see the one-way entrance to the park on your left, just before the Prescott bridge.
On my way to Hastings, I saw a light-morph Rough-legged Hawk in Dakota Cty on the north side of Highway 20, between 270th and 260th Avenue. The hawk was perched on a utility pole, and later flew to perch on a tree north of the pole. Highway 20 begins at the Cannon Falls downtown stoplight, and ends at Hwys 50 and 61(240th St), where you make a right/left jog to go north on Hwy 61to Hastings. I saw the same hawk (I'm pretty sure) on a pole in the same location, when I returned to Cannon Falls.

Claire Danes is on another cover. This time it's Glamour, the January issue that is.
Danes has been on a professional and personal rollercoaster and she's happy about it… I like rollercoasters too but the kind at amusement parks.
In 2009 Claire married actor Hugh Dancy, in 2010 she won an Emmy for the HBO movie Temple Grandin. In 2011, she jumped back into television with Homeland, which she won 2 Emmy awards for, and in 2012 she gave birth to her son Cyrus.
The last 4 years has been a transformation period for Danes, a good transformation at that. We saw her go from innocent on My So-called Life to terrorists fighter Carrie Mathison on Homeland.
Glamour: I want to read a quote back to you from just after My So-Called Life days: "I'm 18, and I'm already thinking, You should've taken it slower. I'm reminiscing already: What am I going to be like when I really get old? Like when I'm 30."
Claire Danes: Oh, Jesus!
Glamour: So what's the answer? What are you like now that you're, as you said, really old?
CD: Well, not too different. I'm happier in my thirties. I feel clearer about who I am and less apologetic about it, and more accepting of my limitations and also more aware of the ways in which I'm capable. I was always looking forward to this time because people talk about it in very romantic terms. And I think it's true. Gravity hasn't had too profound of an effect, and you're a little less emotionally gangly. The twenties are a deceptively challenging-slash-painful time. I'm just glad to be out of that phase.
To check out the full interview, you can pick up a copy of Glamour's January issue when it hits stands December 10.

Made it with bison, used brown rice instead of bread crumbs, 2 small cans of petite diced tomatoes with jalapeño peppers and cilantro ,added extra vegetables, two small zucchini , used a little Mexican seasoning in both the meatball and stock. I browned the meatballs in olive oil, then put them in the soup after the 1st boil. It was the best I have ever made!
Turkey Albondigas Soup
From EatingWell: January/February 2007
Albondigas, Spanish for "meatballs," star in the traditional broth-based Mexican soup. Our version uses turkey rather than beef or pork for the meatballs, and we've pumped up the volume of fresh vegetables in the mix.
21 Reviews for Turkey Albondigas Soup
My husband and kids really liked this. It was a cold night and I thought this would be a great way to get a warm balanced meal! I used bell peppers instead of poblano peppers and I added a tsp of chili powder. VERY yummy. My husband who always tell me dinner is "alright", actually said this was "good". A big step in our house as I am not the best cook! =)
We loved this soup. I added ancho and chipotle chili powder to the meatballs, and browned them in a bit of olive oil before adding the other ingredients.
I love this soup.
I used canned green chiles instead of poblano peppers and it was still great! I also baked the meatballs in the oven for abuot 15 minutes at 350 before putting them in the soup to help them hold together and that was a great idea I must say, plus I skipped the "chill the meat balls in the fridge stage". I also added a dash of chili powder to the meat balls because I enjoy the little kick! A great LIGHT BUT HEARTY soup! Not to heavy but it sure fills you up! I paired it with a green salad and some mashed red potatoes. Yummy!

Infrastructure major GVK Group has received the Australian federal governments approval for its Abbot Point Port Capital dredging programme. This move finalises ministerial environmental approvals for its Galilee Basin coal assets and associated infrastructure.
Achieving this final environmental approval from the federal government is a significant milestone towards the development of GVK Hancocks Terminal 3 (T3) port facilities and Galilee Basin coal assets, including the Alpha, Alpha West and Kevins Corner coal projects, along with the construction of a rail solution to the Abbot Point Port.
Together with the previously received clearances for the Alpha mine, the rail to Abbot Point and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC) approval for the port, GVK Hancock has solidified its position in the Galilee Basin of Queensland, Australia.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Kenzie Ruston stood out on the podium when the NASCAR Next field was revealed last weekend at Iowa Speedway.
The 21-year-old Ruston has established herself as one of the brighter prospects in the sport. She is currently eighth in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East series standings, and last week NASCAR selected her as one of 13 young drivers to be highlighted through its Next promotional program.
Ruston's goal her rookie season with Turner Scott Motorsports was to push for top-5 finishes by the end of the year. But she's already had three so far, each time eclipsing the previous record K&N finish for a woman (sixth place by Danica Patrick in 2010).

Kenzie Ruston
"I definitely didn't expect this this early. But it's definitely a plus. Coming into this year, I just really wanted to run for Rookie of the Year. Hopefully I can get that Rookie of the Year and maybe something more," Ruston said.
Ruston's quick rise hasn't surprised those who've watched her outperform expectations at every level.
Ruston, a native of El Reno, Okla., grew up as a self-described "tomboy" in a family full of dirt bike racers. Kenzie's father, Darren, wouldn't let her get on dirt bikes, instead signing her up to race Bandelero cars at Texas Motor Speedway.
It only took one race for Ruston to realize she wanted much more out of the sport than some weekend fun. Even though she blew the lead when she spun out on the final lap, the 13-year-old Ruston - who had already tried every other sport, including cheerleading - was hooked.
"I was such a competitive person that everything I wanted to do, I wanted to win," Ruston said. "My first race, I knew that it was something that I really wanted to accomplish."
By the time she was 16, Ruston had earned a spot in the Legends car series.
"I don't want it to be thought, 'She's good for a female racer.' I just want to be good as a race car driver. I don't want people saying, 'Man, she was the best female driver ever.' I don't want people to think that. I just want people to know that I'm not the driver I can be yet," Ruston said.

We attended a couple more lectures, watched Tootside, and relaxed for the day. That evening we had a cocktail reception and a fantastic slide show of the trip.

Grand Lake drowning victim had high blood alcohol content, autopsy shows
JAY — The victim of a fatal boat crash died from accidental drowning and had a blood alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit, an autopsy report shows.
Monte Lee Price, 39, of Jay, died July 29 in the boat crash on Grand Lake. He was with three other people when the 20-foot boat struck a breakwater structure near Arrowhead South Marina about 2 a.m. He and two others were thrown from the boat.
Price's body was recovered in 50 feet of water in the Duck Creek arm of Grand Lake. The toxicology report shows his blood alcohol level was 0.20 percent. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.
Injured in the crash were Shane Carroll, the Jay Middle School principal; his son Brooks Carroll, 17; and family friend Brian Smith. Grand River Dam Authority police said none of the victims were wearing a life jacket.
The men had attended a wedding July 28 and left the reception about 10:30 p.m., according to friends at the wedding.
The investigation into the crash continues, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

What Roomba has done for vacuums, Kinze Manufacturing hopes to do for tractors.
Last month the 46-year-old farm implement company demonstrated to dealers its new autonomous system developed with Jaybridge Robotics of Cambridge, Mass., which uses the global positioning system or GPS to allow tractors to run without human operators.
For two years Kinze and Jaybridge tested the system for detecting obstacles such as fence posts, stand pipes, farm animals and other vehicles.
VIDEO: See company video of drone tractor in actionBut according to Susanne Kinzenbaw Veatch, vice president and chief marketing officer at Kinze, the spark for the autonomous system came from the vision of her dad, one in a long line of Iowa farmers and tinkerers.
"About 10 years ago, Dad started thinking that the future of agriculture wasn't necessarily in bigger equipment, but in autonomous drones," Veatch said.
Farmers already use global positioning systems to guide tractors and combines, but that technology works with someone sitting inside the vehicle.
Beyond demonstrating the technology to its dealers, Kinze isn't yet saying when the system will be available or for what price. But when the Kinze system arrives, it will be aimed at solving one of farming's most persistent problems: the scarcity of help.
"When you talk about good farm help these days, you're talking about more than just a hired hand," said Kinze's founder and owner, Jon Kinzenbaw. "The farm worker has to be very mechanically and technically skilled. There's not a lot of those folks around."
Veatch said the autonomous system holds the possibility of 24-hour planting during often rare good weather in April.

How many years before the Cargill, ADM etc.. decide to just cut out the farmer?
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
I hope they develop some good fail-safes for potential electrical issues. I'd hate to see the aftermath of a robot "falling asleep" at the wheel.
Whats Hot DJ Roomba!

Yes, sir. I think those new droids are going to work out fine.
In fact, I, uh, was also thinking about our agreement about my staying
on another season. And if these new droids do work out, I want to
transmit my application to the Academy this year.
At last, the A&M thread has the tools it needs to take over.
I think they are a step or two behind john Deere.
So no more drop in attendance at JTS for harvest season?

More like 5 or 10 steps behind JD... This guy just loves seeing his name in the paper and talking trash about other companies that are beating his pants off.
People seem to be forgetting that this is how SkyNet began. Or is going to begin. I forget. Or I don't know yet.
Time for a beer. Too early to start tailgating?

Agreed. What they displayed wasn't really that groundbreaking. Sure its one thing to have an autonomous tractor start at point A go to point B and come back across an open field. You wouldn't let this thing take 1,000 bu of corn and drive down the highway with it just yet. When it comes to having an autonomous combine however, that's a completely different ballgame. Not only does the combine have know where it's at all the time, it also would have to make constant adjustments to both the cleaning and threshing system based on what it decides is an acceptable loss rate. This is a few years down the road...but its on it's way!

I'm looking for a folding bike that I can use as a road bike. Something light with smaller tires and a bull horn handlebars if possible. I like the smooth hound, but don't like the price. My budget is in the $400 range.
I read alot of good reviews here about Downtube, but I don't see any of their bikes really designed for long tours. They are on the heavy side too, but I like the prices.
Anything similar to the Dahon Smooth Hound in my price range? I live in New York and don't think they even sell the Smooth Hound in the USA.
If you can provide a link to purchase your suggestion I would appreciate it. I've ridden a bike before, but have never actually owned one.

Hi, I'm Jennifer Grant. Nice to meet you. I've been doing radio for almost 25 years and yes, I still love, love, love coming to work every day and hanging out with you. In the 2nd grade, I received a clock radio as a gift from my grandparents and that was it, I was officially hooked on radio (much to my parents dismay )
A few things you should probably know about me:
1) I'm a sucker for a furry face and have several rescue dogs (and one semi-rescue cat that likes to hang out in my yard. Probably because I feed him all the time)

Scott was born in Middle Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia, Canada (Really – You can look it up, there is such a place), and grew up in Toronto (although the grew up part is still open to debate). That's why Scott has lots of stations that begin with C's instead of W's on his resume, including the legendary CKLW for over 10 years.
He emigrated to the US on the 4th of July (legally – f.y.i.) and worked at Oldies 104.3 in Detroit, then Oldies 104.3 in Chicago (made learning the slogans real easy). After 10 years on the former Chicago Oldies station, WJMK, Scott moved to Florida.

PORTSMOUTH, NH, November 7. MIKE Ross, New England Masters Swim Club, lowered the 50 meter backstroke world record for men 35-39 by over half a second at a meet hosted by Great Bay Masters Swimming today.
Mike's time of 26.31 lowered Clay Britt's 26.84 standard by over half a second. Set in March 1996, Britt's swim had withstood the test of time.
Eight days earlier at the George Erswell Memorial Swim Meet at Bowdoin College in Brunswick Maine, Mike set a new USMS mark in the 100 yard backstroke at 50.58. Mike's swim there took about a third of a second off Eric Ericson's 50.93, set in 2000.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: open
This may be a very easy question, but for some reason I haven't been able to find the answer in the last hour or so of looking.
I'm a long-time web developer, but I'm brand new to Ajax. I'm working on a site that opens various forms in a floating Lightbox div. These forms are complete html pages, so non-js users just load it in their browser.
So, the Ajax request returns an html page. But, I need to modify that page/form based on which elements are present in the opening/parent page.
My question is, can I just pop the Ajax requestText into a standard JS DOM somehow, so I can use all the nifty methods for traversing the document tree, or do I have to parse the text directly? It seems like this should be easy to do, but I can't find the answer.
Thanks in advance.
function getResponse(e) {
// use this to list all first-level elements.
//for (var i=0,c;c=div.childNodes[i];i++) alert(c.tagName)
All the elements are immediate childs of the div element (but <head> and <body> disappear).
IE get rids of everything that is not inside <body> (<head>, <title>, <meta>). Mozilla keeps what was inside the <head> element.
responseXML is not populated. ;)
I did some experimenting, and if a text/xml content-type is returned, it does get populated
I'm trying to avoid doing anything different on the server side, i.e. changing the content/type. These pages are supposed to load in a Lightbox for JS users, and in a full browser window for non-JS users. So, keeping them plain xhtml seems simpler.
Thanks again for the tutelage.

Osteopathy is an established and recognised system of diagnosis and treatment primarily concerned with the structural and functional integrity of the body. Osteopathic practice is based on sound principles and requires a high level of palpatory (touch) skills. This enables us to feel for subtle changes and damage to body tissues through trauma and disease. As osteopaths we recognise that much of the pain which we suffer stems from suboptimal arrangements of the parts of the body and their movements.
All osteopaths in the UK are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).Ā Osteopaths are required to renew their registration each year. As part of this process, the GOsC checks that osteopaths have current professional indemnity insurance, remain in good health and of good character, and have met mandatory continuing professional development requirements.
Osteopathic Consultation
At the initial consultation you will be asked about any current health problems and any relevant medical history. This will help the practitioner gain insight into your general health, and how your body copes with internal and external stresses.
The osteopath will then examine your body framework. Usually at this stage you will be asked to remove your outer clothes. The actual examination will depend on your symptoms. It will always include palpation (touch), which is a way of feeling the body tissues to identify problem areas. The areas local to where you experience symptoms are likely to be palpated. It may also include muscle strength and joint mobility testing, or specialised orthopaedic assessment, reflex testing or your blood pressure taken.
The osteopath will then discuss their findings with you, and tell you what treatment is most likely to benefit you. This may involve you attending several sessions. The practitioner will use a variety of treatment approaches, from manipulation through soft tissue work and more subtle techniques (e.g. functional, visceral & cranial) according to your needs, as well as your preference. Postural advice and rehabilitative exercises may also be prescribed to aid your recovery.

Meditation on Forgiving
Here is a guided meditation on forgiving others and ourselves, too.
Lie on your back on a comfortable surface in a warm place; cover yourself with a light blanket if desired. Let your arms rest at your sides, near, but not touching your body; feet resting about a foot apart. Close your eyes.
Begin breathing evenly in and out: breathe in 2 counts; breathe out 2 counts; continue. Do not hold your breath.
After a minute or more of even breathing begin thinking about a situation where you have been hurt. Stay with the thoughts a few moments while you are lying there comfortably and safe.
Next, rest easy for a few moments to balance any remnants of upset, brought up in your body-mind, from thinking about an old hurt. Just let the past remain there with forgiveness in your heart, remembering we all need forgiveness at some time in our lives.
After a few minutes resting and breathing evenly, either sleep or take a deep breath in and out, stretch and get up; energized.
Enjoy the harmonious feelings that flow from forgiving and moving on.
Moving on with forgiveness at heart
Gives us a renewed and fresh start.
I invite you to join me in a daily group cyber meditation for personal and planetary peace. Click the article here to read about it.

Preservationists often rely on local height ordinances and federal designations as a first line of defense in the protection of historic resources. Sometimes these legal mechanisms work. However, this reliance is sometimes misplaced, especially when local governments grant zoning variances and refuse to consider the effect of these variances on adjacent historic resources, even if the resource is nationally significant. Such is the threat facing the pristine cliffs of the New Jersey Palisades, a National Historic Landmark and National Natural Monument that have been successfully preserved for more than a century.
Recognizing the threat posed to the integrity of the Palisades National Historic Landmark by a proposed office tower, the National Trust recently joined forces with a coalition of preservation and conservation groups in filing an amicus curiae brief in the New Jersey Court of Appeals on April 4.1 The coalition includes the Preservation League of New York State, among others. A copy of the amicus brief is available here.
Background and Procedural History
Litigation to protect the Palisades arose after the Town of Englewood Cliffs, N.J., granted a variance to LG Corporation to build an office tower that would visually mar the historic Palisades landscape. The eight-story tower would be 143 feet tall, more than four times the existing height limit of 35 feet.2 If construction of the LG tower goes forward, it would represent the first breach of the viewshed in the 100-year history of protecting the Palisades north of the George Washington Bridge in their natural state. In recognition of the LG tower's adverse effects, the World Monuments Fund included the Palisades on its Watch List last year.
Although zoning height restrictions in existence at the time of the original construction application (March 2011) would have prohibited LG's proposed building, the town granted a zoning variance, issuing its approval of the project in February 2012, after six public hearings. Then, the town amended the zoning law in October 2012 to eliminate the need for a variance. Several lawsuits followed and were later consolidated by the trial court, which ruled in favor of the town and LG on August 9, 2013.
Meanwhile, after appeals of the trial court's rulings were filed in August 2013, a separate lawsuit was filed in October 2013, specifically challenging the October 2012 zoning amendment. This subsequent lawsuit focuses on whether the town created an illegal spot zone, which is an unconstitutional zoning decision that benefits one property owner only, to the detriment of others, and is inconsistent with the local comprehensive plan. The spot zoning lawsuit is ongoing.
The Palisades' Historic Significance
The Palisades were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965 and represent an unusual cooperative effort, which started in the late 1890s by two states, New Jersey and New York, to preserve the scenic beauty of much of the lower west bank of the Hudson River. The Palisades' historic significance lies in its long history of human development, use, and enjoyment, as the object of some of the country's earliest conservation and protection efforts, and as a treasured viewshed for millions living in and traveling through the region. Moreover, Native American tribes, including the Sanhikan, Hackensack, Raritan, and Tappan nations, used the cliffs as shelter and protection for centuries. The lands atop the cliffs were developed during European settlement through the late 19th century, when new quarries and other uses threatened to degrade the landscape.
An early, influential manifestation of the dawning conservation movement, the long campaign to protect the Palisades drew great popular support and powerful champions. At the turn of the 20th century, a push led by the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs resulted in the creation of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission by New York and New Jersey governors Theodore Roosevelt and Foster Voorhees. An article in the The New York Times on January 5, 1900, reported favorably on Governor Roosevelt's action to preserve the Palisades from "spoliation of this rare scenic gift which nature has bestowed upon the metropolis." Later, in the early 1930s, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., acquired and donated the area protected as a park today, with the specific objective of saving the viewshed. But LG's proposed tower would ruin this viewshed.
In a recent New York Times article, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., commented that building LG's tower in its proposed form is like trying to "build a high-rise next to Yellowstone. It's a national issue. It is so important to maintain landscapes in cities, so people who can't afford to go out to the national parks will be able to experience the majestic beauty of the American wilderness in their backyards."3
Coalition members are now waiting for opponents to file briefs in support of the town's zoning decision and to find out whether the court will hear oral arguments on appeal.
1. Three separate appeals are pending before the New Jersey Appellate Division. Two individuals, Carol Jacoby and Marcia Davis, filed the first two lawsuits in Superior Court. After the trial but before the Superior Court's decision, they were joined by a group of intervenors, including the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs and Scenic Hudson. The New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs led efforts to secure the area as parkland in 1900.
2. The new headquarters plan also includes two additional wings that would each be 55 feet tall, and a parking garage that would be 40 feet tall. Part of the rationale offered by LG was that building the tower would make it easier to obtain LEED certification for the new building. In addition, the smaller footprint of the tower would allow much more of the 27-acre site to be landscaped as green space.

The Love Train: Prague To Introduce Dating Cars on Subway
Prague will soon play the role of matchmaker by introducing dating cars on the Czech Republic's only metro. With brief average ride times of about five minutes, though, can Cupid's arrow strike where it is needed?
An initiative by the Prague public transport system intends to give new meaning to the phenomenon of speed dating: singles-only "love trains."
Of course, there are many things one can "do in public transport which you cannot do inside your car." Why stop at dating?
Promoters of the plan believe that the scheme will serve an important societal function beyond the reduction of automobile traffic and its attendant pollution. "Simultaneously, we realize a negative trend of more and more people being single or not married," Drapal says. "So we would like to help these people and generally draw attention to this social phenomenon as well." Cognizant of the fact that many people may be hesitant to enter a car where they will immediately be subject to propositions from other passengers, Drapal says that the "love trains" will not operate during "morning rush hour" so as not to overcrowd other carriages. The city does not expect the plan to cost any money, and it will cooperate with dating agencies that will sponsor the demarcation of carriages.
But are subways really the best place to encourage lonely hearts to strike up a conversation that might lead to true love?
There is, after all, the practical matter of time. Prague is a small city, and the average metro ride usually lasts no more than five minutes. Contrast that with Berlin, which is spread out over a space of nearly 900 square kilometers and where a train journey from one side of the city to the other can last up to an hour. Singles hoping to get a date on the Prague subway will have to be incredibly deft if they ever hope to catch the attention of a possible mate.
Still, perhaps designating a dating car, where everyone is presumably looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, might make breaking the ice easier.

While the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) won a partial victory (preliminary injunction) earlier this year against the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) over an ordinance that attempted to prohibit Mature (M)-rated game advertisements, the trade group now has an even clearer win under its belt, as a Judge has permanently banned the CTA from "enforcing or directing" enforcement of the ordinance.
In a ruling (PDF) handed down on May 17 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer—who granted the preliminary injunction as well—ordered judgment against the CTA and dictated that prompt notice of the judgment be given to CTA officers, and any agents, servants, employees and attorneys. The CTA also agreed not to "appeal or otherwise attack the validity or enforceability of the Consent Judgment and Permanent Injunction."
Ordinance 008-147 took effect in January of 2009 and prohibited any advertisement that "markets or identifies a video or computer game rated 'Mature 17+' (M) or 'Adults Only 18+' (AO)." The ESA had argued that such a ban was unconstitutional.
ESA President Michael D. Gallagher stated, "We are pleased that the CTA chose not to pursue this further and waste valuable resources on this matter. It is our hope that other transit authorities will heed this ruling when determining whether to restrict advertisements."
It was also ruled that the ESA was entitled to recoup "reasonable" attorneys' fees and costs related to the lawsuit.
