|For the Street War featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, see Ballas-Grove Street gang war (3D Universe).
The Ballas-Families gang war is a gang war fought between the Ballas and the Families, before and during the events of Grand Theft Auto V.
As of 2013, the Ballas and The Families were at peace, but Forum Gangsters members Lamar Davis and Franklin Clinton planned to make real money by kidnapping Balla OG "D," who had no beef with the Families. They succeeded in kidnapping him, but when Lamar called the Ballas about a ransom on the cell phone, the LSPD found out about their plan and Lamar was forced to release D in order to escape the police.
Soon after, the Families OG Stretch returned from prison, having made friends with some Ballas while there. Franklin (reluctantly), Lamar, and Stretch went to a drug deal in Rogers Scrapyard in La Puerta to hand over some drugs to the Ballas, but Franklin and Lamar were surprised to find out that D was the one who met them there, and that Stretch was friendly with him. Their suspicions were confirmed when a crew of Ballas arrived in vans, forcing the Families members to kill D, shoot their way through the Ballas using flashlight-equipped shotguns, and escape the police. Because of the Ballas' betrayal, a gang war began.
The state of war continued after a failed deal between Franklin and Lamar and a Ballas drug dealer in Grove Street (set up by Stretch), during which Franklin's acquaintance Trevor Philips showed them that the product was really a styrofoam brick coated in cocaine. The Families were forced to kill several Ballas on the cul-de-sac and again escape the police.
Eventually, Stretch finally made his move against Franklin and Lamar, whom he saw as disrespectful towards him. The two wanted to form their own set and break away from the Chamberlain Gangster Families, so Stretch kidnapped Lamar and held him at a sawmill in Paleto Forest. Aided by Trevor and Michael De Santa, Clinton was able to kill the Ballas who had kidnapped Lamar and freed his friend.
Soon, Franklin was confronted by his former employer, the billionaire Devin Weston. The tycoon told him that he could either kill Michael (Weston wanted revenge for the death of his lawyer Molly Schultz), Trevor (FIB agent Steve Haines wanted the illogical Trevor killed), or be killed himself by Weston's Merryweather mercenaries, the FIB, the LSPD, NOOSE, and his rivals.
If Franklin chooses to betray either of his two partners and kills them, Lamar will call him, telling him that he was right about Stretch, and needs to lay low. Franklin can only hang out with him at night, because in the day, the Ballas would attempt to finally kill him. Stretch is still alive, although he does not appear again.
If Franklin chooses the "Deathwish" option, then he will team up with Michael and Trevor (along with Lamar at the foundry battle) to get rid of all of their enemies. They will choose each other's antagonists, with whom they have no association. Franklin will kill the Triad boss Wei Cheng, Trevor will kill Steve Haines, and Michael will deal with Stretch. Michael kills Stretch and his Ballas friends while playing basketball at the BJ Smith Recreational Center, ending the conspiracy against Franklin and Lamar. With Stretch and the Ballas dealt with, Lamar is free from death threats and can hang out with Franklin during the day as well.
- The Ballas and Grove Street Families are based on Heart of Midlothian F.C. and Hibernian F.C. respectively. Midlothian and Hibernian are both soccer teams based in Edinburgh, Scotland who have a great rivalry, one which usually includes violence. Edinburgh is also the location of Rockstar North, which is why they chose these two teams.
- They also have similar colours, Hearts have a burgundy colour which is similar to purple and Hibernian have a green colour.

Yesterday, Bob Ferguson, King County Councilmember from District 1 and Transportation Committee member, sent me some 2007 budget information that just might interest you:
The Council voted to phase out and eventually eliminate the "wrapped" busses where the windows are covered with advertising. … I received many complaints from riders who said they had a hard time seeing outside in the dark mornings and evenings. For others, the ride became disorienting without being able to see outside. … These wrapped busses will be gone by the end of next year.
Looks like Orin was right about this. No word yet on whether the wrapped buses with "clear" windows (like the 4 I rode recently) will remain. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from Metro.
The Council voted to increase the rate of creating bus shelters. There is a backlog of hundreds of approved bus shelter locations, and the Council is putting up funds to get these built sooner than our current, slow pace.
What can I say? "Hallelujah!" doesn't come close to expressing my level of elation.
Remember that fancy, digital sign Bus Nerd spotted on the 48? It appears that we'll be seeing a lot more of them very soon.
The Council voted to add reader boards. Each bus will have a scrolling, electronic sign (one on 40′ coaches, two on 60′ coaches) in place of the current "stop requested" ceiling signs. The signs will be programmed with a next stop message as well as other information such as time of day.
Here's a thought: Now that we have the reader boards, we can keep the wrapped buses, since people won't need to see out the window to know when to get off. :)

Woman's 3 sons arrested on drug charges upstairs from her home-based day care
Homeowner, day care operator Saundra Cole not accused of wrongdoing
Upstairs and downstairs in a Hazelwood neighborhood home, Pittsburgh police and state authorities are investigating an unusual combination.
While Pennsylvania's Welfare Department confirms a registered home-based child care provider operates on the first floor of a Tipton Street home, police say they've arrested three men who live on the third floor on charges related to heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and a gun found in their living area.
City police with a search warrant say in criminal complaints that they found a dozen stamp bags of heroin, 16 baggies of crack cocaine, three baggies of marijuana and a Glock .45 pistol in third-floor bedrooms of house.
Homeowner Saundra Cole operates the home-based "Saundra Cole Family Child Care Center" on the first floor, and a Welfare Department spokeswoman says it's important to note that she is not accused of any wrongdoing in the case.
Police arrested her three sons -- Christian Yates, Tyrique Cole and Marlin Jackson, who live on the third floor -- on drugs charges and for allegedly removing I.D. markings on the gun.
Pittsburgh City Councilman Corey O'Connor, whose district includes Hazelwood, told Channel 4 Action News, "I'd be shocked if the state would allow this to continue in a day care facility."
Pittsburgh Assistant Police Chief George Trosky told Channel 4 Action News reporter Bob Mayo, "The Welfare Department stated that there is a day care registered at that address and states that there are eight 'subsidized' children registered there. There is a procedure they have to follow to revoke the license, they are looking into it."
Channel 4 Action News confirmed that Pennsylvania's Welfare Department, which regulates this day care, is investigating, given that the drug arrests took place under the same roof.
Welfare Department spokeswoman Donna Morgan said, "We want to determine the safety of the children during the time period that there may have been alleged drug activity." She also said, "Our investigators are looking to see what kind of accessibility the third floor had to the child care center, which was on a different floor."
O'Connor said, "We want our kids to be as safe as possible, and if you're going to a day care, you want to trust that the individuals that are running that day care and your kids aren't exposed to drugs or guns."
When Channel 4 Action News reporter Bob Mayo knocked at the home Wednesday afternoon, no one answered, but Saundra Cole later told him by phone that "this is putting the cart before the horse"..."there are things in files that aren't the truth," and "you're chasing a story that's not true."
Morgan said, "We would have to go and make sure that if anybody is charged, facing charges, or has been convicted, (they) would not continue to be residing at that location." She also noted, "Anybody that would be living in the home over the age of 18 would have to have background clearances done. That is the type of thing that we would be looking into, as far as the continuation of providing services there."
O'Connor said, "Whoever's doing these inspections should go up and down every floor, every back alley, every side door. Make sure it is a secure location for our kids."
Morgan said, "We're working with the police to obtain more information, but we've got to make a decision down the road about the situation for the day care, and that's what we're doing right now." Regarding the day care operator, Morgan said the Welfare Department is reviewing "did she meet all the regulatory requirements? Did she continue to protect the children and keep them in a safe environment? Those are the things we're investigating at this point."
The criminal complaint indicates all three men arrested say they live on the third floor of 216 Tipton St. and are all sons of Cole, who said she and her boyfriend live strictly on the first and second floors.
The arrests happened last Thursday. Pittsburgh police were assisting an adult probation officer in attempting to serve an arrest warrant. While searching for the warrant suspect, they noticed "in plain view" marijuana in a small bag on a dresser, multiple digital scales with marijuana residue, several boxes of plastic bags, and "brick magazine wrapping paper" of the type used to package bricks of heroin for sale.
Police cleared the residence while they got a a search warrant. They then recovered evidence from third-floor bedrooms, including heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, the Glock pistol and $2,970 in cash.
The criminal complaint says it was in the downstairs living room where police encountered the homeowners, Cole and her boyfriend, Howard McKamey, along with the three men, Cole's sons. It was the three sons who were ultimately arrested and charged.
The criminal complaint says Cole told police she and her boyfriend strictly occupy only the first two floors of the house, and do not go up on the third floor; she told them it's occupied by her three sons.
Police say after the three sons were arrested and read their rights, they emphatically told police that Cole and McKamey never go on the third floor -- that they, the three sons, "live and hang out" on the third floor. Yates was also charged as a former convict who is not to own a firearm. Police note that Tyrique Cole told them the gun was his. All three brothers are charged with drug possession, conspiracy and obliterating identifying markings on the gun.
City police and the Welfare Department say their investigations aren't over. Next week, the three men arrested have their first day in court when they face preliminary hearings at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at the Municipal Courts Building in downtown Pittsburgh.

White House All Sad About Whiny Liberals
Nothing's more fun for the White House than a public whipping of whiny-baby liberal hippie bitches. Today, it's press secretary Robert Gibbs' turn! In an interview with The Hill, he complains about the "professional left," who whine about everything.
Usually when the White House complains about liberal activists to the press it's done anonymously (although you can frequently tell it's Rahm Emanuel, because of the cussin'). So good for Robert Gibbs to put his name next to this latest White House whine about professional whiners ("their allies"):
During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom he said would never regard anything the president did as good enough.
"I hear these people saying he's like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested," Gibbs said. "I mean, it's crazy."
The press secretary dismissed the "professional left" in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right, saying, "They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we've eliminated the Pentagon. That's not reality."
Of those who complain that Obama caved to centrists on issues such as healthcare reform, Gibbs said: "They wouldn't be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president."
Why all the exaggerated complaining? Well, the White House does like to push off of the left to make itself more appealing to independents. But this is an interview with The Hill. Swayable independents don't read insider-y Capitol Hill newspapers every morning, and they don't watch MSNBC all afternoon, where this sort of slappy fight will migrate to and die shortly thereafter. Basically, this article was written for the "professional left," to get them all worked up and to block off further chances to work together.
It's just fun to smack around hippies sometimes. But counterproductive!

By Teachers, For Teachers
Tests and textbooks are catching on to the fact that teachers will be expected to meet the Common Core State Standards, but few apps are up to speed. Here are five iPad apps you can use to help your kids meet the new standards.
If you're looking for a simple, straightforward app for keeping track of the Common Core State Standards, here's your guide. Everything is laid out by content area and grade level, and the interface direct and easy to use. The Mastery Connect Common Core app is a handy free reference for all the CCSS.
Scootpad is an app with a great selection of standards-based practice for elementary classes. It's a pretty complicated app that tries to be a learning management system. The important aspect of the app to us, though, is the variety of Math and Reading practice problems, all aligned to the Common Core. You could go through a whole year's classes assigning this app for homework.
Math Pentagon's Math !!! may not have the greatest name or the smoothest interface, but what it has is an in-depth selection of practice problems for all the Common Core Math subject areas for Grades 4 through 8. The app lets students use an iPad as scratch paper while working out problems and grades them as they go.
Math Pro!!! sounds like it should be the paid version of Math !!!, but it's actually just the high school version. It's still a great resource for math problems, broken up by the content areas in the Common Core.
Here's the app you've been waiting for. The iTooch Elementary School app lets you download whole classes of fun practice tailored to the Common Core Standards. You can build a library of questions for any given elementary class with a fun, high-quality interface. Students can compete to reach leader boards for success and share achievements with friends. We can't recommend this app strongly enough.
Do you have a favorite app for meeting the Common Core standards? Let us know in the comments!

Let us return from our digression. As his mistress's disagreeable failings escape the blinded lover, or even give him pleasure (as Hagna's wen does to Balbinus), I could wish that we erred in this manner with regard to friendship, and that virtue had affixed a reputable appellation to such an error. And as a father ought not to contemn his son, if he has any defect, in the same manner we ought not [to contemn] our friend. The father calls his squinting boy, a pretty leering rogue; and if any man has a little despicable brat, such as the abortive Sisyphus1 formerly was, he calls it a sweet moppet: this [child] with distorted legs, [the father] in a fondling voice calls one of the Vari; and another, who is club-footed, he calls a Scaurus.2 [Thus, does] this friend of yours live more sparingly than ordinarily? Let him be styled a man of frugality. Is another impertinent, and apt to brag a little? He requires to be reckoned entertaining to his friends. But [another] is too rude, and takes greater liberties than are fitting. Let him be esteemed a man of sincerity and bravery. Is he too fiery, let him be numbered among persons of spirit. This method, in my opinion, both unites friends, and preserves them in a state of union. But we invert the very virtues themselves, and are desirous of throwing dirt upon the untainted vessel. Does a man of probity live among us? he is a person of singular diffidence;3 we give him the name of a dull and fat-headed fellow. Does this man avoid every snare, and lay himself open to no ill-designing villain; since we live amid such a race, where keen envy and accusations are flourishing? Instead of a sensible and wary man, we call him a disguised and subtle fellow. And is any one more open, [and less reserved] than usual in such a degree as I often have presented myself to you, Maecenas, so as perhaps impertinently to interrupt a person reading, or musing, with any kind of prate? We cry, "[this fellow] actually wants common sense."4 Alas! how indiscreetly do we ordain a severe law against ourselves! For no one is born without vices: he is the best man who is encumbered with the least. When my dear friend, as is just, weighs my good qualities against my bad ones, let him, if he is willing to be beloved, turn the scale to the majority of the former (if I have indeed a majority of good qualities), on this condition, he shall be placed in the same balance. He who requires that his friend should not take offense at his own protuberances, will excuse his friend's little warts. It is fair that he who entreats a pardon for his own fault, should grant one in his turn.
1 Sisyphus. The dwarf of Mark Antony the triumvir. He was of a diminutive stature, scarcely two feet high, but of a very acute wit; whence he got the name of Sisyphus; for Sisyphus was so remarkable for his dexterity and cunning, that Sisyphi artes came to be a proverb.
2 "Balbutit Scaurum" . Rutgersius informs us that all these names, Strabo, Paetus, Pullus, Varus, and Scaurus, are surnames of illustrious Roman families, from whence fathers gave them to their children, to cover their defornlties with names of dignity. This is one of many beauties in the original, which it is impossible to preserve in a translation.
3 But Orelli interprets demissus to mean abjectus, pusilli animi. See his judicious note.
4 "Communi sensu plane caret" . He wants an understanding that distinguishes the common decencies to be observed in addressing the great. Such was the Communis sensus among the Romans, for which we have no expression in English. "Sit in beneficio sensus communis: tempus, locum, personas observer". Seneca. "Quae versantur in consuetudine rei publicae; in sensu hominum communi, in natura, in moribus, comprehendenda esse oratori puto". Cicero de Oratore. Lord Shaftesbury explains the sensus communis in Juvenal, that sense which regards the common good, the public welfare. A sense, according to the ingenious author, seldom found among the great. "Raro enim ferme sensus communis in illa | Fortuna".

This Is the Best Tea to Put You to Sleep
Getting enough shut-eye seems like a luxury to a lot of people. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over a third of Americans are sleep deprived on a regular basis. But there is something that can help you catch some quality zzzs: tea.
15 Bedtime Ritual for Better Sleep
"There are a variety of teas that can help with insomnia and anxiety," New York-based internist Dr. Frank Contacessa told The Daily Meal in an email. "Chamomile, valerian root, and lemon balm can have calming effects and even relax the muscles."
In one study of postpartum women in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, regularly drinking chamomile tea daily for two weeks led to short-term sleep benefits. And a 2010 study showed that chamomile had many health benefits including treating insomnia.
Just be sure to double-check that your tea is caffeine-free before downing a cup at bedtime. The good news is herbal teas are typically caffeine free, so you should be in the clear if you stick to those blends.
Need some suggestions? One of our favorite best teas to put you to sleep is the appropriately named Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime. It features soothing herbs like valerian, spearmint, and, of course, chamomile to help you hit the hay. Bigelow Sweet Dreams Herbal Tea is another great option with similar ingredients and a hint of rose blossoms to really get you in the bedtime mood.
And tea isn't the only drink that will lull you to sleep. There are plenty of other beverages you could pour that will help you sleep like a baby.
Our editors are recommending these products because we love them, but just so you know, The Daily Meal may get a small portion of the sales from the links on this page.

Three mortuary workers receive award for speaking out on misconduct.
Three whistleblowers were honored Thursday for helping to identify mismanagement at Dover Air Force Base mortuary.
The Office of Special Counsel, the independent federal agency responsible for investigating claims brought forth by whistleblowers, awarded James Parsons, Mary Ellen Spera and William Zwicharowski with the 2011 Public Servant of the Year Award.
The three members of the Delaware congressional delegation were on hand for the event, commending the whistleblowers for the "courageous and brave" steps they took to shine a light on the problem.
"Thank you," said Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., "for speaking truth to power . . . you did the right thing, not the easy thing."
Rep. John Carney, D-Del., emphasized the mortuary workers' willingness to put their jobs in jeopardy to right the situation.
"When something, as in this case, gets out of order, it's important to have people willing to risk their job," he said.
OSC, which first gave out the public servant award in 1999, led an investigation that found the Dover mortuary misplaced bodies and removed body parts of the deceased military personnel without permission. After the OSC analysis, the mortuary reinstituted of one of the whistleblowers who had been fired, disciplined the managers who punished employees for publicly acknowledging the problem and ensured the whistleblowers' grievances be remedied.
"You saved my job," an emotional Zwicharowski, one of the whistleblowers, said to the OSC staff around him at the ceremony, "and you probably saved my life. I thank you."
He added his inspiration to speak out came from his desire to honor those who gave their lives for the country.
"Our fallen deserve nothing less," he said. "Their service is the only reason we stand here today and we are free."
Parsons, another honoree, said he was just doing his job and he is looking forward to putting the whole ordeal behind him.
"It's nice to have the closure," he said. "We can move on now."

A common thread in the vintage community is that we're drawn to the garments because they tell a story: the silhouette, fabric, print, and embellishments are indicative of how people lived before us. Vintage clothing tells us about the ebb and flow of culture and politics, and how people desired to express themselves.
In the same vein, much of the vintage community is drawn to Native American jewelry. The pieces are hand-crafted by Native American artists for the purpose of adornment, ceremony, display, and trade. Historically, different Native American tribes used adornment as a mode of communication; while each tribe has an individual aesthetic, they have begun to borrow motifs from one another throughout the years.
The jewelry is crafted from natural materials such as gemstones, metal, bones, teeth, hide, and so on. Zuni fetish necklaces are hand-carved with the belief that the talismans have special power. For instance, an eagle fetish represents both integrity and divinity; a turtle is the oldest symbol of Mother Earth and inspires longevity; buffalo encourage bountiful game.
The Navajo squash blossom necklace is perhaps the most sought-after piece of Native American jewelry. The most common structure features a crescent-shaped pendant made of turquoise, but the general structure of the squash blossom necklace has evolved into grander and more adorned versions. Our example of a Navajo squash blossom necklace features large, natural turquoise pendants set in cast sterling silver and has bear claw accents.
All of this, though, is just scratching the surface. There's a wealth of information out there about the history of Native American jewelry--a topic certainly worth spending some time reading about!

"In the United States of America, no one should go broke because they chose to go to college." – President Barack Obama, State of the Union Address, Jan. 27, 2010
Chilean society has been rocked by over three months of protests, beginning as a student uprising demanding affordable education and culminating in workers, environmentalists, LGBT rights activists, and others demanding reforms ranging from "building electric dams in Patagonia to improving education."
The unrest began when students started taking to the streets en masse to demand "the elimination of a voucher system that supports private universities and demanding free, higher quality education at public universities." The student revolt's de facto leader, as it were, is Camilla Vallejo (@camila_vallejo) who has come to be known as "Commander Camila". According to The Guardian, Vallejo has the ability to shut down whole sections of Santiago. Her call for better, cheaper education, has galvanized nothing less than a major populist uprising:
"Her press conferences can lead to the sacking of a minister. The street marches she leads shut down sections of the Chilean capital. She has the government on the run, and now even has police protection after receiving death threats.
Yet six months ago, no one had heard of Camila Vallejo, the 23-year-old spearheading an uprising that has shaken not only the presidency of the billionaire businessman Sebastián Piñera, but the entire Chilean political class."
And now, incredibly, student leaders and teachers' union leaders met with President Pinera for the first time this past Saturday. While both sides found the talks productive, there hasn't been an agreement on affordable education hammered out yet.
Let's turn to America now.
Student loan debt is projected to reach $1 trillion by June of 2012. An unjust and downright punitive student loan debt system exists for borrowers, locking them out of discharging their debt in bankruptcy and bringing the full force of the Department of Education down on people who default. This is the same government that ensures that lenders get their money paid back in full (subsidized student loans) and then come after the financially crippled for the bank's profit. There is much more to be outraged about with this immoral system that ensnares the newly graduated, trapping them in a twisted sort of indentured servitude to a profit-driven education industry. Many of you are probably acutely aware of just how disgusting our higher education system has become, however, as default rates have skyrocketed–and the numbers available are likely conservative, and represent for-profit colleges only. Private college graduate default rates aren't publicly available.
Where's the mass outrage on campuses over obscene tuition hikes? Why aren't graduates organizing to fight back against the lack of protections for people who are forced to default? I asked higher education justice advocate Cryn Johannsen (@cjohanns), founder of All Education Matters, why America (despite massive income inequality rivaling Rwanda and Nepal, a worsening economic outlook, and a more dysfunctional education system that leaves graduates tens of thousands of dollars in debt after graduation) isn't seeing an uprising even approaching what Chile is experiencing:
"There have been numerous protests this past year, especially in response to tuition hikes. Much like the poor coverage of protests in Wisconsin and Indiana, as well as the protests against harsh immigration laws in Georgia and elsewhere, corporate media fails to cover these stories."
And while it's true that there have been a number of protests related to tuition hikes, as well as push-back against state-by-state education budget cuts (not to mention Pell grants on the federal level), one wonders what it will take to get students organized to push back against the tyranny of the higher education system as a whole. Perhaps inconsistent mainstream coverage of student protests contributes to a lack of momentum, much like the town of Budros in the Palestinian territories was experiencing, until independent media began to spread the word about their nonviolent resistance movement (which in turn galvanized other towns.) It's more complicated than that, of course, but it can't be denied that political ideas and movements snowball when attention is paid to them, and their popularity increases.
Johannsen continues:
"Just like other groups and facets of U.S. society, students have been depoliticized here. Instead of being citizens, they are repackaged as "consumers." The language is key. People lose a sense of what they belong to, especially when they are rarely, if ever, referred to as citizens. That means civic engagement is undermined by the constant barrage of messages to consume."
The scourge of consumption is certainly one factor of many to consider in the depoliticization of America's student population. Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist and author Chris Hedges writes eloquently of the depoliticization of American universities, which were once hotbeds of resistance and critical thought. Thanks to people like Johannsen, the lack of consumer protections for student borrowers is starting to be examined in Washington D.C., although predictably there are powerful interests vested in maintaining the status-quo when it comes to the student loan industry: the industry as a whole has spent over $62 million lobbying Congress over the past decade.
Perhaps as austerity sets in, and many of these education cuts really go into effect, students will see the inequity of continually-rising tuition while educational resources dwindle due to draconian budget cuts–and perhaps that will be the moment when the spark is lit. After all, it took Chile three months to really gather the numbers that made the country's political elite sit up and take notice–and discontent was brewing long before protests broke out into the street, undoubtedly. America may just take a little longer, right?

Plantation Bed & Breakfast's new windmills provide a green energy source
YOUNG TOWNSHIP — The old legend has it that Don Quixote used to tilt at windmills, but today, there are many more people who are installing them for another reason — as an alternative energy source.
Such is the case at the Plantation Bed and Breakfast on Route 119 in Young Township.
"My son, Jesse Branken, came home from college in June, and he had suggested putting up windmills at Plantation Bed and Breakfast in order to save on electricity," said Julie Branken, owner of the popular bed and breakfast.
Branken had read the book "Cradle to Cradle Design" (also referred to as Cradle to Cradle, C2C, cradle 2 cradle, or regenerative design) published by Michael Braungart and William McDonough, which tells of a biomimetic approach to the design of products and systems, which convinced her to proceed with the project.
"It reminded me of the suggestion Jesse had made regarding the possibility of installing windmills to save money on electricity and conserve our natural resources," Julie said, adding that Jesse said he would ask Gary Fairman to help with the windmill concept.
Branken said there are cheap windmills that can be purchased, but many of them are not likely to do the job.
"You can purchase a cheap windmill, stick it 20 feet in the air, and it does nothing," she said. "Obviously, the higher you go, the better your windmill will perform."
Fairman said that the high hill behind the bed and breakfast produces a large amount of wind.
"What is cool is when it's windy at night, and you wake up in the morning, and you've made 30 kilowatts of electricity while you were asleep," Branken said.
Fairman said he and Jesse drove to Ohio and purchased the windmills from a supplier.
"I thought Jesse was talking about driving to Youngstown," Fairman said.
"Turned out it was in Columbus. I could have thrown a baseball to the state of Indiana from where we were," Fairman said laughingly.
Branken said construction began in July with the pouring of the concrete.
"Everything has to be perfectly accurate for the windmill to produce electricity," she said. The goal is to have a $0 electric bill with the windmill producing all of the electricity for free."
She said Dennis Hallman, who works in construction, handled the concrete and the labor.
Fairman said the windmill generates 220-volt power at its head, and then it comes down as 220 into the power box.
"There's a breaker in the power box, and Julie has an electric meter that will spin backwards and keep track of the negative amount charged on her electric bill by the electric company," Fairman said. "If her power actually goes out, then the windmills stop turning."
Branken said there are some days when the windmills will barely turn at all.
Fairman said in the directions, it suggests one only erect the windmills on the calmest of days.
"We went to install the first one during the summer, and the wind was howling 30-35 mph the whole day," he said. "We put it up and it spun really fast the first day, and then it calmed down the rest of the week."
Branken said she figures it will take eight years before she'll break even on the project.
"After that, my electric will be free forever," Branken said.
When you're driving south on Route 119 as you pass Cunningham Road in Young Township you'll see the two windmills spinning away high upon the hill to your left above Plantation Bed and Breakfast.
With an energy-saving process like this, even Don Quixote might be impressed.

Full BOF approval for 2014-15 budget
The proposed 2014-15 budget that carries a 5.71 percent increase in taxes is now the responsibility of the Representative Town Meeting after the Board of Finance unanimously approved it Tuesday.
"I think we have beat this budget to death," Board of Finance Chairman Liz Mao said.
The $133,093,941 proposed municipal budget includes $88,135,967 for the schools and $44,957,974 for the town. The proposed budget is a 5.89 percent increase over the 2013-14 budget of $125,691,553. The board also approved a $2,510,955 capital budget.
The proposed mill rate is 15.01, which increases by 1.84 mills from 2013-14. With the new rate, taxpayers would pay $15.01 for every $1,000 of assessed value.
The Representative Town Meeting will take action on the budget on Monday, May 5.
Board member Gwen Mogensen said she was comfortable with the budget.
"I just want to reiterate one more time that we are running out of tools as the Board of Finance to manage expenses," Mogensen said. "Increases in expenses will be borne to taxpayers, there's not much else we can do."
Board member Joe Zagrodsky touched on the work that still needed to be done in the schools.
"Let's keep in mind we're not out of the woods yet for some of the issues that we're working through," Zagrodsky said, adding that there are new school issues "lurking" that the town must face, such as updating and expanding the facilities to accommodate projected increasing enrollment.
"As a warning to everyone in town, these are likely to be non-trivial expenses and I think if we continue to approach them with the approach we're trying to take, one that's balanced but one that is looking toward the long-term and focusing on plans that are well-developed and executed over a period of time as opposed to these not well-developed plans, I think we'll be well-served by it, but it will be expensive, there's no doubt about it," Zagrodsky said.
Two building projects at Tokeneke and Royle elementary schools were put on hold in November after the estimated costs came in much higher than anticipated. The projects were originally said to come in at $4.7 million at a May Board of Selectmen meeting. However, in November, the building committee told the Board of Education that the project was actually closer to $14 million.
"It's the philosophy of this board to make true investments in this town and not build things that will fall down in 20 years or so," Mao said, noting that decades ago, the schools were built to be more suitable "for southern California but not for New England winters."
Board member Bruce Orr said there was not a single person with whom he has spoken that feels comfortable with the tax increases.
However, throughout the entire budget process, only one taxpayer came forward to publicly speak out against the budget increases.
The board also voted to approve $3,293,139 for the sewer operating fund; $550,000 for the sewer assessment fund; $203,807 for the sewer capital fund; $779,000 for the parking lot administration fund; and $231,040 for the parking lot capital fund.

Eliane Elias Sings Jobim
Temporarily Out of Stock Online
22.79 Out Of Stock
Eliane Elias has considerable chops as an acoustic pianist, although as a singer, she is definitely limited and doesn't have a great range by any means. No one's going to mistake Elias' singing for that of Flora Purim, Astrud Gilberto, Gal Costa or Tânia Maria. But while her voice is paper-thin, Elias sings with enough feeling and sincerity to make Sings Jobim a decent, if conventional, Brazilian jazz offering. Her second tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (the first was 1989's all-instrumental Eliane Elias Plays Jobim), this CD finds her staying away from instrumentals and embracing familiar, oft-recorded bossa nova standards like "The Girl from Ipanema," "So Danco Samba," "One Note Samba" and "Desafinado." Elias' singing (most of it in Portuguese) is the focal point, although she gets in a few nice piano solos. Unfortunately, Elias plays it safe and doesn't offer a lot of surprises. Given the many great but lesser-known songs that Jobim wrote, one wishes Elias had been less conservative and more adventurous in her choice of material. Although pleasant enough, this isn't one of her essential releases.

Avalanche Beacons
Recent Avalanche Beacon Reviews
Pieps DSP Sport

The best avalanche beacon I have used. This is the simplest, most functional avalanche beacon I have ever used. You can pull it out of the box with zero experience in using a beacon and feel like a pro within 5 minutes. On top of that, it's reasonably priced and easy to find. The harness is super easy to put on and is barely noticeable. The range is good. There's not much else to say — it's the ideal beacon. I love this thing. 100% recommended.

Backcountry Access Tracker 2
This is such a simple transceiver to use. I'd recommend it for any recreational user. It's also commonly used by ski patrollers. This transceiver is very simple to use and that's what makes it so great. When I do practices with friends with other digital units, they seem to get hung up on other features and confused about how to interpret what the transceiver is telling them. This is due to not practicing enough, but with the Tracker 2, it is far more intuitive and even without much practice can… Full review

This is one of the easiest transceivers I have ever used. With the directional lights, sound and number indicators, it makes searching simple and fast. I like the holster because it fits snugly against your body and makes it quick and easy to remove when switching to search mode. It is also easy to switch from transmit to search and has a much faster response time then some of the other brands I have tried. I highly recommend this product to all my backcountry friends.

Custom Adapter Seamlessly Integrates Financial Planning & Analytics Engine with BI Tools for Optimized Organizational Decision Making and Profitability Management
June 5, 2013 — Orlando, FL — Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI), analytics, information integrity, and integration solutions and, Axiom EPM, a leading provider of financial planning and performance management software for enterprises, today announced that they have formed a strategic business and technology partnership. Under the terms of this partnership agreement, Axiom EPM will be the preferred Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) partner for Information Builders' clients, and Information Builders will be the preferred BI, data integration and quality partner for Axiom EPM clients.
The partnership is a reflection of the natural synergies between BI and EPM functions and also reflects how the office of the CFO and CIO are increasingly working closely together to introduce systems and processes that optimize business performance. The recent increase in big data and the volume and complexity of financial and operational information has contributed to an increasing need for more sophisticated models to support various forms of strategic and operational planning. Finance teams must become more agile and responsive to organizational needs, shifting their time away from more tactical data management tasks to spending more time modeling at the enterprise level and delivering high-value analysis that can impact decision making and ultimately profitability.
The combined value of the Information Builders and Axiom EPM partnership enables this transformation with proven expertise, methodologies and technology integration. To support this new partnership, Information Builders and Axiom EPM have jointly developed an adapter that enables WebFOCUS business intelligence users to seamlessly and securely query the Axiom EPM financial planning and analytics platform, empowering customers with a full range of business analytics tools to realize the promise and power of EPM. As a result, the robust financial planning content created and stored in the Axiom EPM application becomes a rich and trusted information source that can be consumed by a wide variety of decision makers and functions across the organization for real-time, in context, decision making.
The industry leading capabilities offered through the Information Builders and Axiom EPM partnership are being leveraged at Sterling Bank, one of the largest regional community banks in the western United States. Sterling Bank needed to rationalize a complex heterogeneous landscape composed of various legacy data sources. They also needed comprehensive performance management capabilities for planning, profitability measurement and incentive compensation. "The combination of Information Builders' iWay and WebFOCUS tools along with Axiom EPM's comprehensive performance management platform will deliver the trusted data governance along with the planning and profitability analytics required to understand the key business drivers and inform better decision making." said Laura Roberts, SVP, Financial Planning & Analysis Executive, Sterling Bank.
In addition to complementary technologies, both firms share a singular business focus on their respective domains and make customer satisfaction the top priority —each ranking in the upper tier of various industry surveys. "We are extremely excited to be able to offer our customers the ability to seamlessly integrate strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, profitability management and analytics on one integrated platform and database structure," said Gerald Cohen, CEO, Information Builders. Mike Choi, CEO, Axiom EPM, added, "working with another privately held company that shares a common vision and focus on customer success will help ensure a successful business and technical partnership for many years to come."

Inspire Chiropractic necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 94 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Inspire Chiropractic
I am a chiropractor who is committed to caring for her patients. I work with many different demographics, but I am mostly interested in helping women, pregnant mothers and children, so trust is a big part of my relationship with my patients. I have undertaken further study which makes me more qualified to deal with such people, and they need to know that they can trust me.
The work I do gets kids developing right on track so that they can lead full, healthy lives - and it is so important to start when they are young! For adults, a lot of what I do promotes a fuller life and more energy - it's all about getting the most out of life!
We are a small business, not corporate, and a personal touch is very important.
It is important that my logo conveys the care and commitment I have for my patients, as well as the fact that I specialise with women, pregnant mums and children.
My target audience is mainly women of childbearing years (age 20 to 45), as this is the person who is usually the primary carer for any children in the family and often makes decisions about where the money is spent. However, it should appeal to anybody with a family.
I need a logo that is different to all the other chiropractors - I really don't want a spine to be the cornerstone of my design, however it can be part of the overall design.
The logo should incorporate the name of the practice, and the letters can be all smalls (ie no capital letters at the start of words) if that suits the design. I have a tag line, "gentle care for your family" which can be incorporated but this is not necessarily better - I am open to whatever creative ideas you might have.
I would like to have a pregnant woman in the logo somehow, because this is really where people will understand that we are all about family. If a child can also be incorporated somehow that would be fine but it is not a requirement. Please understand that I am open to whatever ideas you might have, as I am really not very creative myself!
I would like to use white with dark green, dark blue and rich purple, but I am not very good with color so if you have any other ideas in this area these are also ok.
I would like the logo to look classic, elegant and not too complex - simplicity is definitely best. It is important that the logo gives a gentle message as what we do is very gentle.

Small Buckle 4 - Camel
Some male buckles can be threaded on by hand, after removing the old one. It is a tight fit, but it can be done. Otherwise we would strongly recommend that you take your carrier to a dry cleaner, shoe repair or upholstery business so they can remove the old buckle and stitch on the new one with their industrial strength sewing machines. For safety reasons we do not recommend that you attempt a repair yourself at home.

Over the past few days I've had several people tell me that business is taking advantage of employees. When recessions hit, the employer exploits the situation in his favor, to the employees' detriment. While this may be the case in some situations I don't think it is in the majority of cases.
The employer may be an easy target in this situation, but the anger and frustration is misguided. The ability of an employer to pay an employee stems from demand for the employers product. If the demand shrinks, then his demand for employees with the skill to produce the product shrinks. With shrinking demand comes shrinking revenue. Without revenue to pay the bills, including payroll, expenses have to be reduced. There really is no other choice here if the business wants to remain viable.
There are several reasons why demand might shrink. There are two overwhelming reasons in the current situation that I see. First is that consumers (including businesses) have reduced or are reducing their spending, this directly translates into reduced demand. The second is globalization is providing real competition for technology related skill sets. If you can't differentiate yourself and provide real value it is hard for any employer to justify regular salary increases. Remember the employer must compete with other companies that can and will take advantage of these cost differences.
Another cause of reduced revenue is the inherent idea of consumers to want to buy the cheapest items possible that satisfies their need. With companies competing for the limited spending, this directly translates into less revenue for the company that you are buying from. The reduced revenue means reduced employment, but also means the most efficient business will be successful and will add jobs once demand increases. In a world of global competition keep this in mind when you think that your employer is not being fair. He is working in a world where to survive he has to make the best economic decisions to keep the business operating and competitive.
What can you do to change this and improve your situation? Learn new skills that makes your company more competitive. If you can show that your new skills bring value to the company then most employers will be willing to share that with you (remember it may take some time to actually realize revenue from your new skills). If they aren't then maybe it is time to find a new employer. You can bring value by selling jobs, learning new skills that are in demand by current clients or by increasing efficiency and thereby reducing costs. If you are not willing to do anything then you really only have yourself to blame.
If you are feeling like a victim of the current recession my advice is to get up and do something about it. Learn something new, at no time in history has there been such valuable information available for free. Help make your company more competitive and you will come to realize that taking action is a much better path than dwelling on your perceived misfortune.

Two years ago, a headline writer wrote this over a story by Lynette Holloway for The Root: "Abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell has been charged with eight counts of murder. Both sides of the abortion debate are having a field day with this case. But what happens to poor women of color facing unwanted pregnancies?"
Holloway wrote, "The grisly murders and gruesome discoveries inside Kermit B. Gosnell's West Philadelphia abortion clinic leave one wondering what would make mostly poor, minority women so desperate that they would utilize his filthy clinic, where body parts of dead fetuses allegedly were stored in jars that lined the shelves of the macabre scene."
She included this figure: "Overall, African-American women account for 36.4 percent of all pregnancy terminations in the United States, although blacks make up only 13 percent of the population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
Now Gosnell, himself African American, is on trial, and in the last two days the Internet has seen a dramatic rise in commentary asking why the Philadelphia case hasn't received national media attention.
"Obviously, conservatives believe the media is ignoring this story because it's about abortion, and the lefties who run our media empires hate stories that put abortion in a bad light," Kevin Drum wrote Friday for Mother Jones. "Alternatively, it could be because it's a Philadelphia story, and the national media doesn't usually give a lot of time to local cases like this. Frankly, I don't know — though I'll note that even the conservative media didn't give it a huge amount of coverage until fairly recently, when Gosnell's trial started. . . ."
Others say the Gosnell story — and it is a horrifying, grisly one — is also a story about race and the media.
When the case broke in 2011, Jill Filipovic, who blogs as "Jill" on the Feministe site, wrote:
"Gosnell's clinic hadn't been reviewed by the Department of Health in 15 years. Members of his staff were unlicensed and not properly trained. And Gosnell knew that he could get away with offering sub-par care to women who he thought were less likely to complain — young women, immigrants, poor women and women of color."
Filipovic quoted Lori Adelman, who wrote in January 2011 on the Grio, "buried deep in articles describing 'bloodstained furniture' and 'jars packed with severed baby feet,' is a less gory but equally as horrifying insight that, at Dr. Gosnell's clinic, 'white women from the suburbs were ushered into a separate, slightly cleaner area' than Gosnell's regular clientele, which was comprised primarily of poor minority women, including many immigrants. Gosnell reportedly treated these white suburban clients to a more pleasant and sanitary experience because he believed they were 'more likely to file complaints' about substandard care."
Irin Carmon wrote Friday for Salon, "I can't speak for big news organizations like CNN and the networks, but let's think about this question another way: How often do such places devote their energies to covering the massive health disparities and poor outcomes that are wrought by our current system? How often are the travails of the women whose vulnerabilities Gosnell exploited — the poor, immigrants and otherwise marginalized people — given wall-to-wall, trial-level coverage? . . . "

Journalist-Turned-Car Dealer and Other Personal Stories
Cliff Brunt worked for the Associated Press for seven years when Associated Press Sports Editor Terry Taylor told him he would have to transfer to Indianapolis or take a buyout. He couldn't move, so he took a buyout. Now Blunt is a used car dealer, and this week he offered readers of the Indy Sports Legends website "the top 10 most important things I've learned since April 11, 2012," the fateful day Taylor called him with the news.
Brunt wasn't the only journalist of color offering a personal story in the last few days. To help inaugurate "Code Switch," a new NPR site, Eric Deggans, television critic for the Tampa Bay (Fla.) Times, recalled Wednesday how he had to "code switch" between his black boyhood neighborhood in Gary, Ind., and the white-dominated private school he attended outside of it.
" 'You guys doing anything today?' " Deggans began.
"That might sound like an ordinary, even dull question. But in my old neighborhood — mostly poor, entirely black '70s-era Gary, Ind. — that kind of question was grounds for serious ridicule. Or worse.
"The problem: I had dared use a word none of my partners ever let pass through their lips, unless they were making fun of a white person: 'guys.' . . ."
In collaboration with the Huffington Post, Terrell J. Starr, associate editor at NewsOne, wrote Thursday for Facebook, "I Found the Father I Never Knew I Needed On Facebook."
"Growing up on Detroit's west side, my neighborhood was rife with gang violence, drug abuse and semi-hopelessness," Starr wrote. "Manhood was measured by ghetto Darwinism: only the toughest young guns who dared not to fear the pistol-toting bullies, stray bullets or the temptation of the drug game survived." He had no idea who his father was then, he wrote, "but I knew I wanted him in my life."
Starr said he "ducked and weaved those travails by doing well in school, participating in after-school sports activities and being a pretty good kid."
In fact, according to the tagline, "Starr has a bachelor's degree in English from Philander Smith College and two master's degrees (M.S. in Editorial Journalism) and (M.A. in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a Fulbright Journalism Scholar (Ukraine 2009-2010) and a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Georgia 2003-2005). He is an expert in African diasporas in the former Soviet Union and lived in the region for four years. He is pursuing opportunities to write a book on his life."
Brunt listed these as his 10 most important lessons: 1. "Job titles don't mean much. . . ." 2. "The journalism business as we knew it is dead. . . ." 3. "There are some good people in journalism. . . ." 4. "I can create a website (with a lot of help).. . ." 5. "I'm not good at selling cars. . . ." 6. "I'm not the only one. . . ." 7. "We're not missing meals, so I have no right to whine. . . ." 8. "Terry Taylor is a good person. . . ." 9. "My readers and the athletes like my writing, even if it's not for the AP. . . ." 10. "My wife is my biggest fan. . . ."

J-Professor Tracks Gang Legacy of Central America's Wars
"Donna De Cesare had just walked into the AIDS ward at a public hospital in El Salvador one day in 1989 when a young voice greeted her," David Gonzalez reported Wednesday for the New York Times' Lens blog.
" 'What's up?' she recalled hearing. 'Finally, someone from my country!'
"She was taken aback. The voice was in English, with the rhythmic cadence of Chicano Los Angeles, where the young man had once lived. His name was Franklin Torres. Though he was born in El Salvador, he had fled during its violent civil war to what his mother thought was the safety of Los Angeles. Instead, he found refuge in gangs and drugs. Gangs led to his deportation, and back in El Salvador, drugs would claim his life.
"The unexpected encounter stayed with Ms. De Cesare, who had traveled to Central America to photograph the civil wars wracking the region. She would, in time, document the overlooked legacies of those bloody proxy wars, zeroing in on how witnessing unspeakable violence scarred young minds both in Central America and in the barrios of Los Angeles.
"This month, Ms. De Cesare released 'Unsettled/Desasosiego' (University of Texas Press), an urgent and moving work that chronicles those who grew up amid political wars, gang wars or both. It is a look back on lives that were lost, and some who triumphed, during her many years in the region. It is also, for her, a motivation to continue to examine these issues and to push for action through her bilingual Web site, Destiny's Children.
" 'We need to consider what we are doing as a society when we abandon so many children,' said Ms. De Cesare, who is an associate professor of journalism at the University of Texas at Austin. 'We need to see these young people as they truly are — children who have been burdened with so much that is painful from an early age and whose fragile hopes and dreams are being thwarted.' . . . "

Irish Nanny's Illegal Status Doesn't Rate Top Billing
The prominence given immigration status in contrasting stories from the Boston Globe illustrate a bias against one group of unauthorized immigrants, but not another, according to the advocacy group Latino Rebels.
"Irish nanny Aisling Brady McCarthy has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a one-year-old girl she had been caring for in a Cambridge apartment, Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone Jr.'s office said today," began a story Friday by John R. Ellement.
In the 12th paragraph, readers learn that "Brady, a native of Ireland who has been in the country illegally, faces deportation to Ireland if she is freed from state custody, according to the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency."
By contrast, a Globe story by Maria Sacchetti from Sept. 28, 2011, begins, "Scituate police arrested an illegal immigrant from Brazil for motor-vehicle violations three months before he allegedly stabbed his former girlfriend to death in a brutal attack this week, reigniting debate over whether Massachusetts should participate in the federal Secure Communities program."
Globe editor Brian McGrory did not respond to a request for comment.
Meanwhile, Latino Rebels also pointed to a 2012 Hill+Knowlton Strategies online survey for the Latino Donor Collaborative that "showed that one-third think that more than half of the country's Latinos are undocumented and nearly 80% of non-Latino Americans think Latinos are involved in crime and gang activity."
Hill+Knowlton and the Latino Donor Collaborative tried to interest CNN in exclusively broadcasting the data in May 2012, Latino Rebels said, but CNN said online surveys did not offer the same credibility as those using other methods.
David Iannelli, president, global, of Research+Data Insights, disagrees. In fact, he told Journal-isms Friday by email, "Aside from the approach we take of (using demographically balanced panels, etc.) the methodological benefit of using an online approach for a survey on such a sensitive topic is that it neutralizes the problem of the socially-desirable response bias that tends to occur in telephone interviews where the respondent may offer what they believe is the politically correct response to be seen in a positive light by the interviewer. . . ."

Rand Paul's Speech at Howard University Called a Dud
"The Republican Party is struggling with its future," Charles M. Blow wrote Wednesday for the New York Times.
"Will it be a regional, Congressional party fighting a last-gasp battle for a shrinking base in a David and Goliath war against ominously expanding federal government? Or will it become a national, presidential party capable of adapting to a new American reality of diversity and expression in which the government serves an essential function in regulating public safety, providing a safety net and serving as a safeguard against discrimination?
"Senator Rand Paul is trying to find a balance between the two. The same week that a dozen defiant senators threatened to filibuster any new gun control legislation, Paul ventured across Washington to historically black Howard University and gave a speech aimed at outreach and bridge building.
"The man is mulling a presidential run after all.
"The speech was a dud. . . ."

"42″ Film Captures the Hero, but Maybe Not the Human
"Whenever it is that an icon passes from being human to being a saint is the point at which it's probably too late for a good movie," Wesley Morris, who won a Pulitzer Prize for criticism last year while at the Boston Globe, wrote Thursday for Grantland.
"All you get is the lessons learned and very little of the naturalism or idiosyncrasy or personality that made the person iconic in the first place. Or you get all that courtesy of a great performance, but then there's no filmmaking or storytelling to support it. You rarely get both acting and an angle, the way you did, say, with Walk the Line and Lincoln. It's usually that the subjects mean so much to the filmmakers that they can't bring themselves to take the subjects out of their historical packaging and play with them, lest they lose their value.
"That's the Jackie Robinson situation. . . ."
Not all shared Morris' view in reviewing "42," the Robinson film biography that opened Friday, but many did.
Journalists might have a special interest in the portrayal of Wendell Smith, the legendary African American sportswriter who also helped to desegregate baseball. Smith was inducted posthumously into the Hall of Fame of the National Association of Black Journalists in January. Andre Holland, the actor who plays Smith in the film, was present for the occasion, and La Velle E. Neal III of the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, now president of the Baseball Writers Association, accepted the award for Smith.
David Germain wrote for the Associated Press, "The story of black baseball writer Wendell Smith (Andre Holland) parallels Robinson's, but the film burns up a lot of time trying to establish camaraderie between the two that never quite gels."

Public Broadcasting Called Underfunded for Covering Gun Violence
"The mass shootings last year in Colorado, Wisconsin and Connecticut reawakened Americans to recurring tragedies of gun violence and rekindled a national debate about gun control — one that public radio and television have chronicled and analyzed through ongoing programs and the package of special broadcasts that aired on PBS last month," Debra Blum wrote this week for Current.org, which covers public broadcasting.
"But along with news coverage and the occasional specials, pubcasters and documentary producers could be doing much more on the gun-violence issue, observers say, if more funding were available in the field.
" 'Philanthropy is really sparse on this topic,' says Vince Stehle, executive director of Media Impact Funders. 'There's some attention paid to it, and maybe a little more now, but it's not well-resourced.'
"Audiences have already demonstrated their interest in programs dealing with gun violence:
"A two-part radio series examining the crisis of gun violence in one Chicago school, 'Harper High School,' proved so popular when it aired on This American Life in February that the show's distributor Public Radio International is arranging for rebroadcasts on other nonprofit and commercial radio stations. More than 1 million listeners have downloaded the programs from the TAL website, and so many listeners expressed an interest in helping the school that administrators set up an online donation page. . . .

"The Supreme Court hearing cases this year on same-sex marriage [has] thrust gay rights issues to the forefront again. One dominant voice continues to reflect the perspective of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in news: the white male," Sherri Williams wrote Wednesday for Quill. She added, "The absence of the voices of people of color, women and transgender people from news stories about LGBT issues implies that they don't exist, said Daryl C. Hannah, director of media and community partnerships for the Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. . . . "
The Washington Post has hired Alice Rhee, who spent more than 15 years at NBC and MSNBC, as senior producer of shows as it staffs up in preparation for the summer launch of an online politics channel, Michael Calderone reported Friday for the Huffington Post. He cited a Post memo.
Dr. Shelley Stewart is the recipient of the National Association of Black Journalists' 2013 Community Service Award, NABJ announced on Friday. Dr. Stewart is a broadcast journalist, president and CEO of O2Ideas, and founder of The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation. His "InsideOut" is a 26-minute documentary that presents the stories of [prison] lifers, in their own words, and exposes the lasting and devastating effects that can occur when one drops out of school. It has been viewed in 47 states and Canada.
The American Society of News Editors is teaming with the American Press Institute to hold its Minority Leadership Institute June 23-24 in Washington, coinciding with the annual ASNE convention. The institute provides leadership and management training to 15 mid-level editors and business executives. The program was conceived by ASNE's Diversity Committee and first conducted in August 2012 at Unity.
"With Oprah Winfrey's OWN cable network gaining traction with African-American viewers, Bounce TV picking up advertisers on broadcast and Magic Johnson and P. Diddy backing new channels, long-time leader BET isn't ignoring its rivals," Jon Lafayette reported Thursday for Broadcasting Cable. Louis Carr, BET's president of ad sales, "pointed to research on engagement with African-Americans that showed BET was the No. 1 among 400 media brands they were unwilling to give up. BET beat ESPN by 22%, TV One by 41% and OWN by 89%. BET's Centric network beat OWN by 7%. . . ."
"*Co-host of MSNBC's daytime show 'The Cycle' Touré joined HuffPost Live host Marc Lamont Hill Thursday and defended his network's all-white primetime lineup," EURWeb reported. The item added, "But Touré said that within MSNBC's modern era, there have only been five hosts to fit into three valuable slots — and the current lineup of Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell is 'brilliant' and 'extraordinary.' "
"While their English-language counterparts have struggled in the ratings so far this year, Univision and Telemundo are headed in the other direction," Rick Kissell reported Thursday for Variety. "The Spanish-language broadcasters recorded some historic highs in the first quarter, with Univision closing in on NBC in 18-49 and pulling ahead of it in the younger half of the [demographic.] And for the 2012-13 season to date, Telemundo, Univision and its sister network UniMas are the only broadcasters showing any growth in the 18-49 demo, according to Nielsen. . . ."
"More African Americans wear the union label than non-blacks, but the number of union members declined in 2012 compared with the year before," the NorthStar News Analysis reported Friday. "The University of California Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education reported in 2012 that 13.1 percent of black workers in the United States were union members compared with 11.0 percent of non-black workers. . . ."
"The new president and c.e.o. of dual licensee Lakeshore Public Media in Merrillville, Ind., is James Muhammad, currently director of radio services for West Virginia Public Broadcasting. He begins work in his new post May 20," Dru Sefton reported for current.org on Thursday.
"Margaret Sullivan, the public editor of The New York Times, writes about technology writer Jenna Wortham's recent admission that she shares passwords for Netflix," Chris Roush wrote Thursday for Talking Biz News. Sullivan quoted Jeff Sommer, an assistant business editor who worked with Wortham to conceive the column idea. "The column is supposed to be experimental, and Jenna is deliberately on the frontier – that's the whole point. It's wonderful to have someone who's ahead of the curve. . . ."
In Winnipeg, Manitoba, the Winnipeg Free Press was honored Thursday "for bridge-building journalism that has helped Manitobans better understand the province's Muslim community," the paper reported. "Free Press diversity reporter Carol Sanders and faith writer Brenda Suderman received the Ansar and Ihsan Awards from the Islamic Social Services Association Inc." It continued, "Sanders used her speech to thank the Islamic community for their patience and understanding in the 104 stories she has written since 2004 that involved questions about their religion. . . ."
In Venezuela, "The late President Hugo Chavez appeared constantly on TV, and attacked media that criticized him," Juan Forero reported Friday for NPR. "Now, only one opposition TV station remains. The left-leaning president called Globovision part of a right-wing conspiracy. Though Chavez is gone, the station's end may also be near."
The Committee to Protect Journalists said Wednesday it "welcomes Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's announcement that he will withdraw legal complaints against journalists who 'spread wrong information.'

"In a return to old tactics, the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) in Sudan have resumed strict pre-publication censorship," the Committee to Protect Journalists reported Friday.
In Tunisia, Free Arabs, a new secular-minded website, "includes skits poking fun at Islamic legal opinions by dramatizing them far beyond their logical conclusions," John Thorne reported Wednesday for the Christian Science Monitor. He added, "Launched last month by Moroccan journalist Ahmed Benchemsi, it aims to sustain the spirit of intelligent irreverence that helped drive the Arab Spring. . . ."
The Nigeria National Committee of the International Press Institute declared Friday, "Detaining journalists while investigating their alleged professional infractions is a throw back to the best forgotten dark days of dictatorial regimes.

Reporting on Ecuador, Reporters Without Borders said Friday it "hopes for quick results from the investigation into journalist Fausto Valdivieso's murder yesterday in Guayaquil. The motive is not yet known but press reports quoted local sources as saying he had been the target of a murder attempt 24 hours earlier and had received threats. . . ."
