COT.UMliUS, OIIIO, MARCH 23, 1923 Per Year $3.00; Per Copy loc BIALIK JUBILEE IS CELEBRATED A. D. Markson, Detroit Hebrcniy Scholar, Pays Tribute to Poet Laureate VfAi h ?ii ^m m Ml U; S. AMBASSADOR URGED FRIENDSHIP TO JEWS FORERUNNER OF REVIVAL OF HEBREW LANGUAGE The fiftieth birthday of Bialik is be¬ ing celebrated this month through the country. The great Hebrew poet was born on Jan. 9, 1873, in Radi, Volhynia, Russia, son of a scholar and dreaiwir, but a poor man, who kept an inn nearby the Radi forest, whose natural beauties stamped an indelible impression on the future poet. At the age of C, Bialik's parents moved to Zhitomir, and the only consolation of the youngster in the fam¬ ily's poverty was again nature and the shores of the beautiful Tpterev river. At the age of 7, Bialik lost his father and the family neicds increased. His fanatic grandfather prevented him from acquiring a worldly education, yet, at 12, he had already read "The Guide to the Perplexed," by Maimonides. At the Yia- fihivah he became influenced by the writings of Achad Ha'Am and learned the Russian language, in which he made a study of Frug's poetry. Hci later went to Odessa, where he supported himself by giving private lessons. Establishes "Moriah" Following the death of his grand¬ father, Bialik for a while interested him¬ self in a business venture, but later re¬ turned to literature and later opened a .printing shop and formed the Hebrew publishing house "Moriah." He has written a number of poems which wene published in book form) many ,of the selections being the most powerful writings since the days of the prophets. Bialik, who has written mostly in He¬ brew, is an individualist, bound to no one, who has created his own school and has influenced pther writers. His po¬ grom poems arc monuments of the tragic epoch of the Jewish nation, most of them having been translated into Yid¬ dish and published in a special .volume iil 1913. The poet now resides in. Ber- BERLIN, (J. C. B.). —United States Ambassador to Germany, Allan T. Houghton, took It upon himself recently to make unofficial representations to and use his inHucncc with leading Germans, in government and private circles, with the view of pointing out to them the injustice and wrong of agitation against the Jews, the J. C. B. correspondent is informed by one who recently returned to Washington from Berlin and had occasion to learn the ¦, Ambassador's friendly activities. The Ambassador, in his conversations is said to have pointed out that the American government was entirely out of sympathy with the anti-Semitic cam¬ paign, and that Germany was risking the loss of much of the good-will of the U. S. by continuing in the present course. Houghton further called at¬ tention to the contributions Jews had made in every walk of German life, showing how detrimental to its own progress the anti-Semitic movement is. 49,803 JEWISH IMMIGRANTS TO U.S.DURING 1922 Hias Organization Served During tho Year over 250,080 Persons ENES OF HORROR AT EXPULSION OF JEWISH REFUGEES From Poland Little Children and Aged Are Torn from Their Homes 14TH ANNUAL MEETING !

Mr. Gore's statement was in reply to a query by Mr. I-X)rimcr as to whether the Zionists were bearing any of the ex¬ pense of the immigration work. A number of queries as to the Pales¬ tine situation were put to Gore in the House of Lords by Lord Apslcy. In reply Gore said that the average num¬ ber of immigrants monthly during 1923 was 054. During the month of Feb¬ ruary, a total of 2,r)00 were unemployed. This latter number, however, is not of Jewish unemployed exclusively, but of all classes. Replying to the question as to whether the immigrants were religious, Gore said he hardly thought any Jew would come to Palestine unless he possesses some religious convictions, altliough the im¬ migrants may not be orthodox. J.D.C. WILL WIND UP RELIEF ABROAD Distribution Committee is Plan¬ ning to Raise Sum of $1,200,000 WILL FINISH EIGHT YRS. WORK ON JANUARY 1,1925 NEW YORK. —The late Senator Tom Watson, of Georgia, who led the fight against Leo Frank in Georgia, made $1,000 a week as a result oi the case, was the statement made here to¬ day to the Jewish Correspondence Bu¬ reau by Tom Loylcss, until recently edi¬ tor of the .Columbus (Georgia) "Sun- Enquirer" who is now ill New York. "If they had let Frank live another year, Watson would have become a mil¬ lionaire," Loyless declared. Watson, the Georgia editor cpntinued, openly urged the lynching of Frank, but hp didn't expect them to act on his word so quickly. Personally, he would have Speakers Addresses wcre delivered by the Rev. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Congressman Isaric Siegel, Mr. Jacob Massel, Vioo-Presidenl and Chairman of the Campaign Commit¬ tee, and Rev. H. Maslianslqr and Mri Isidore Hershfield, members of the Board of Directors. The Deficit At the outset of his report, Mr. Bern-> steiin stated that the Jews of Atncrica-{ responded to the call for financial sup.- port to cover the deficit incurred by tlie Society, and thus, prevented the curtail¬ ment of its activities- Mr. Bcrnstej^' further stated: ts«U.,iS"<A, li"; He is reeogrii^ed among the world preferred probably to ' d^^ Jxa^Vs (aketi from their homes unaccompanied. 'fhe same cruel treatment is being ac¬ corded to the aged men of 70 and over. Circumstances Ignored ',, Circumstances are being entirely ig¬ nored. Seizure follows wherever the refugees are found. The refugees then iijc spirited away to the borders. " No attention is paid by the police to iCe whether the refugee has succeeded in 'getting the passports, tickets for steam¬ ers and made the necessary arrange- tfipnts for departure. '.; Three orphaned children of six, eight iinjl eleven were recently seized in this fashion and taken to the Russian bor¬ der despite the fact that they already liA'd passports and tickets—all ready for "sailing to America' in a few days. -.ft'Thc troubles of the refugees however tJfily, begin when they are taken to the J^ts-Miari-Polish border. There the Bol- ,^^eyik soldiers are on the watch and will iiot permit the Polish police to leave Council ol Jewish to embersliip Drive America Has Approximately 600,- 000 Jewish Women> States the Council Report' EACH SECTION ASKED TO ENLARGE MEMBERSHIP "W6 began the year's work with,^ deficit ojF $300,000 and wc needed |20p;-.>he-Jewish refugees there, 000 additional for the work, Hir&j'^,;-During the hours of the night the launched a special campaign with the,rc^,utefiig'ees are rushed to the frozen river In announcing its membership cam¬ paign, the Council of Jewish women is¬ sued the following statement: "There are 600,000 Jewish women in America, and only 48,000 of this number are affiliated with the Council of Jewish Women. These; figures are a challenge to our women to enlarge tlie influence of our organization and to win for its purposes a far greater constituency." Under the Committee on Extension, of which Mrs. William Loeb, of Provi¬ dence is Chairman, a special membership campaign committee has been appohited by Miss Rose Brenner, President df the Council, with Mrs. Clarence E. Mack, of NEW YORK.—The work of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee,, which has provided relief in more than forty war-stricken coun¬ tries during the last .eight years, will be finished Jan. 1, 1925, it was announced. Plans for the completion of the work were approved at a meeting of the com- ' inittee held in the home of its chairman, Felix M. Warburg. The program - in¬ cludes a call for the immediate raising of $1,200,000 by American Jews for the care of war orphans in Central and Western Europe. Only .^1,513,000 of the fund already raised remains to be allo¬ cated, and this money has been turned over to a special committee in charge of Janxcs N. Rosenberg, vice-chairman of ,tlTe Joint Distribution Committee. The Joint Distribution Committee at its meeting unanimously adopted the report of the Allocating Committee on the various branches of the worlt, which gave an accounting of th'e expenditure of $.54,653,668 and the present status of work in its different branches. A sum¬ mary of the report made public reads, in part, as follows: "For the last four and a half years some 15.000 children have been taken care of in Central Europe and 2,000 in Palestine. The funds on hand of the Child Care Committee, which amount now to $912,830, will provide for the maintenance of these children up to Jan. 1, 1924. Refugee and Health Work "For refugee work the sum of onlj' $44,802 remains, and as the work is of such a nature that a crisis calling for large expenditures may arise any day, this sum will probably be totally ex¬ hausted in a very short while. ,.,%"For the medical and,health work, ,vh BIALIK THE POET OF THE JEW- ISH NATIONAL REVIVAL By A, D. Markson Passion is one of the main character¬ istics of Bialik's Muse. When he sings of nature we think that he is in a dei- lirium of rapturous ecstasy. In his poems "Morning Breezes" and "When I Open My Window" he displays an un¬ quenchable thirst for light and the. most passionate and infatuated love for the glory of tha sun- "Oh, how sweet! I close my eyes and I open them again 1 God, how the light ovCrflboded me 1 * . * God, had you created seven suns in your firmament. They could not feeid to the full my glut¬ tonous and insatiable soul. More light. Lord of Glory, give light!" These exclamations are ver;^ typical of a poet born in Radi, Volhynia, in the shadows and the gloomy darkness of the Ghetto and raised on the "graves of the fathers," as is expressing his own as well as his nation's longing for light and freedom of soul and body. Displays Glory of (Darkness One may come to think by the abun¬ dance of all imaginable synonyms of light in which we almost drown.when we read his paeims of light that Bialik is the poet of light. But when we read his wonderful poem, "Reflectipns of the (Contintied ott page 4) amass a greater fo:':'.:nc out of the case. Loyless claims to have the actual figures from the Thompson) Ga. post- office (Watson's home town) showing the increased earnings of his paper fol¬ lowing his vicious attacks on Frank. "His paper jumped immediately from 25,000 to 80,000 circulation." Watson, Loyless says, did not per¬ sonally dislike either Jews or Catholics although he wrote the most inflamma¬ tory articles against both. His attacks were purely a matter of business with him. "Watson was too smart a man" said the Georgia editor, "to have any personal animus on racial or religious grounds." Governor Slaton, of Georgia, whose own life was endangered as a result of his commutation of the penalty against Frank to life imprisonment, has now regained his popularity in that state, Loyless asserted. Jewish Towns in the Ukraine By LOUIS'FISCHER The Oltio Jewish Chronicle presents .make it difficult to conduct business suc- herewith Ihe first of a series of notes joessfully. Taxes, I was told, are col- froin the diary of its special Ritssian llected as often as, and in what quanti- correspondent on 'his recent tour of in- jties, the authorities see fit. One keeper vestigation to towns in the Ukraine [of a stall in the busy market asked me 135 JEWS LANGUISHING IN INTERNMENT CAMP BUDAPEST, (J. T. A.). —The notorious Hungarian war camp at Zala- gerzeg is still in existence, despite re¬ peated assurances of the government that -It would be closed. Among the 794 Russian war captives in the camp there are 135 Jews. Attempting to explain its failure to close the camp the government declared that there is no place to send the pris¬ oners. The captives have no passports, the government adds, as Russia refuses to readmit them. ARABS BOYCOTT JEWISH ELECTRICITY LEAGUE PROTESTED ROUMANIAN EXPULSION PARIS, (J. T. A.). —The League of Nations intervened in behalf of the Jew¬ ish refugees who were expelled from Bessarabia, according to advices received by the Jewish World Relief Conference here. The Roumanian government in reply to the League's protest declared that the expulsions wcre unauthorized and that instructions had been issued by the gov¬ ernment as soon as it learned of them directing that no further expulsions take place in the future without the gjivern- inent's knowledge and consent, HUGE WATER RESERVOIR AT SOLOMON'S POOLS JERUSALEM, (J. T. A.). —The new reservoir of the Jerusalem waterworks at Solomon's Pools, between Bethlehem and Hebron, was officially opened by Sir Herbert Samuel wilh elaborate cere¬ mony. The reservoir which has a capacity of 40 million gallons is con¬ nected by a pipe system with Jerusalem thickly populated by Jews. This article gives the correspondent's impressions of Jewish life in Zhitomir and Berdichev. —Emtor'& Note. JERUSALEM, (J. T. A.). —Arab extremists arc waging their fight against things Jewish even to the point of refus¬ ing the use of electricity derived from a "Jewish" station. Tjie Jaffa municipality has. decided to stick to the old hand, foot and horse power rather than utilize, any of the electrical power derivied from the Rut- tenberg station at the Auja. Efforts by the government to convince the Arabs that electricity was neutral and knew no politics proved unavailing.. EVIL DAY IF BRITAIN QUITS ZIONIST IDEAL CAPETOWN, (J. T. A.). —Great Britain must not falter in the execution of itsJ {iromises towards the establish¬ ment of Palestine as the Jey^rish national home. This was the substance of an address by General Smuts, South Af¬ rican Prime Minister in opening a Jew¬ ish fete. Tuesday. "It will be an evil day," said Smut», "for the British Empire if it ever de¬ serts the ideal of a definitely achieved national home for the Jewish people." Since the; outbreak of the war Zhito¬ mir has lost one-third of its population and yet its 60,000 odd souls today suffer from insufficient housing accommoda¬ tions. One need merely stray through the streets to understand why. Invad¬ ing and retreating armies, robber bands and pogromists showed as little mercy to homes as to human beings. The fol¬ lowers of Denikin, the heroes of Petlura, and the soldiers of Poland have leit ter¬ rible witnesses and memories behind them. I was taken to a large courtyard surrounded by charred, crumbling, brick walls standing gaunt against the sky— the remnants of JiE.wish homes. As 1 looked a survivor came to tell the story. It was in July, 1020. The Poles haa held the town for eight days when news arrived that the Red Army was ap¬ proaching; Polish soldiers lencircled the block of houses and set fire to the prem¬ ises. Who tried to escape wcre shot at. The narrator was hit by a bullet but managed to raoe, away. Others perished like rats. This was part of the Polisli farewell. The dilapidation throughout the town is depressing but who can blame the people knowing that it would require tons of Soviet roubles to do any appreciable repairs. Of the 60,000 inhabitants about four are Chinese (demobilized Red Army men) and 75 per cent are Jewish. Zhi¬ tomir is even more Jewish than this figure would lead one to believe. Non- Jews live on the outskirts of the town, tilling plots of land, peasant-like; others sit in goyernment offices. The workers and traders are Jews. But the woirkers number only 3000 as compared to some 40,000 petty Jewish traders. Business is legal and, all thes shops are open, but most 'Of the'goods are in the windows and most of the shelves are empty. Jewish merchants complain that the atti¬ tude and activity of the government when the uncertainty was likely to end Would there be another war with the Poles? That such a war is but a remote possibility is not important. The fact is that these people made nervous by the pogroms, the. epidemics and the battles of the past eight years, tannot but fear a repitition of their calamities. The average man is high-strung, fretful, and unceasingly anxious. His only concern is the present. Materialism acquires a monopoly on life. There is no social or cultural activity except among the few Jewish workers. And even if the bour¬ geoisie desired to be active in these fields, it could not. Fortunately for the minds and nerves of these people, the fear of bandits has subsided. More than ,700 ' bandits rfi- cently captured in one swoop are now in the jails of Zhitomir awaiting trial. The story of their capture is interesting. For months, remnants of the counter revolutionary army of "^Petlura, and of the robber bands of Titiunik, had been preparing in Poland and in the gubernies of Podolia and Volhynia, hear the Po¬ lish border, to depose the Soviets and assume power. They were well equipped with machine guns and cannon. The at¬ tack was to take place on the anniver¬ sary of the Bolshevik revolution (No¬ vember 7th). Volhynia and Podolia were to be occupied first, then, with the added support they counted on finding in these provinces, the march on Kiev was to begin. The Ukraine would flow with blood once more. Agents of the Soviet Tclieka joined the bands to learn the details of their scheme. Masses of anti-Jewish procla¬ mations were discovered calling on the. peasants to rise and slaughter the Jews. Samples of this liter.ature can be sieen in Zhitomir todays A certain Jewish vil¬ lage where ' once a bandit had been caught and shot, was to be wiped off the face of the earth, Jewish Government officials were to be buried alive. Shortly before the day appointed for the attack an order went forth from (Concluded on page 8.) most able and efficient president of one of the very energetic sections of the {.Council, the Cincinnati section, for a number of years. During her regime the Cincinnati section increased its mem¬ bership very rapidly and its work won added recognition in the community. She understands the problems of a sec¬ tion through a first-hand experience, and has a very definite idea of the best methods to be followed in increasing its extent and influence. The office of the Exwutive Secretary is cooperating with this Special Mem¬ bership Campaign committee and has prepared a special pamphlet for its needs. It summjirizcs the Council's membership growth in the following figures: 1894, 1,324; November, 1911, 13,000; Novem¬ ber 1917, 23,000; November, 1920, 36,500; November, 1922, 48,000. Each section has been asked by Mrs. Mack to use its present membership committee or to appoint a special com¬ mittee for this triennial year campaign. A.supply of pamphlets has been placed at the disposal of the sections for gen¬ eral distribution in the community and for the: assistance of the campaign work¬ ers, outlining the following: 1. The Council welcomes and serves the immigrant woman and girl upon ar¬ rival in America. 2. The Council has an Emigrant Center in Riga, and serves the emigrant mother and daughter in Europe. , 3. The Council establishes religious schools for our children. 4. The Council does work for our lonely Jewish women on the farms. 5. The Council prepares women for intelligent citizenship. 6. Th« Council publishes interesting periodicals, such as "The Jewish Wo¬ man," and "The Immigrant." It has also published a course ou Jewish music. 7. The Council does philanthropic work of many kinds, and has estab¬ lished homes for working girls and for girls who need our protection and in¬ terest. 8. The Council does educational work and provides scholarships to keep chil¬ dren in school: 9. The Council renders civic service and works for better laws in our city, state and natiOn. 10. . The Council brings to its mem¬ bers a better understanding of Judaism and its literature, through its study cir¬ cles and classes. . Mrs. Loeb, NatMnal Chairman on Ex¬ tension, announces that a very beautiful Council pin will be awarded to each inember who secures 25 or more new members. An effort will be made, to en¬ roll as ]arg6 a membership as possible among the 600,000 Jewish women of [America. $467,730, of which all but $269,485 has been committed. The icntire amount will be exhausted in the course of the next twelve months. "The greatest amount of work done during the last year was carried on in Russia, for which the sum of $7,475,783 was appropriated. This money has all been spent and allocated with the excep¬ tion of $230,000, which will be exhausted by August, 1923. Out of this sum $3,- 827,385 has been spent for purely non- sectarian work in the Ukraine, White Russia and on the Volga in conjunction with American Friends Service Commit¬ tee. "That the largest, contribution from private sources toward the relief of the starving population of Russia came from the Jews of America, is indicated in the summary report of the Commission on Russian Relief of the National Informa¬ tion Bureau, which credits the American Jevvish Joint Distribution Committee with having given, up to December, 1922, the sum of $4,325,000 toward the Ameri¬ can Relief Administration's feeding pro¬ gram.

This Camaro was built during the 3rd week of May in 1970. I have been trying to decode the car to see if it is a true RS/SS. Being 41 years old, parts have been replaced on the car. Originally, the Camaro was a metalic light green with a dark green vinyl top and dark green metallic interior. It currently sports Hugger Orange with white Z28 stripes. Interior color when I purchased it was black vinyl. I am currently redoing the interior. It will be black/white custom deluxe cloth interior when completed. The car has a 12 bolt rear end, TH400 trans and a newer 350 motor. I am adding Vintage Air AC and doing a host of other projects on the vehicle.

Once Steve Blake steps onto the basketball court, he morphs into a different person.
No more Mr. Nice Guy who relentlessly praises teammates and coaches. Instead, Blake becomes the fiery competitor who hustles for loose balls, looks for open teammates and cans shots with usually dependable accuracy. So much that Kobe Bryant has called him "Vino Blanco," a twist on the nickname he's given himself.
How to explain the identity switch?
"I'm just competitive," Blake said. "I don't like to lose. So I really want to beat everybody every time I'm out. That's the way we got to play. So that's what I do."
Blake epitomizes how the Lakers (6-7) enter tonight's game against the Sacramento Kings (4-7) at Staples Center trying to overachieve beyond a 12th-place ranking in the Western Conference by becoming the sum greater than the individual parts. Blake also has outlined how the Lakers can make the most of their tenuous backcourt as they wait for the pending return of Bryant (left Achilles tendon) and Steve Nash (back).
Mix in a bit of Mamba clutchness with a game-winner two weeks ago against Houston and a pinch of Nash playmaking everywhere else.
As a result, Blake has started every game this season, averaging 10.2 points on a 47.5 percent mark from three-point range and 7.1 assists in 31.7 minutes, his highest statistical output in four seasons with the Lakers should he keep this pace. Blake's assists mark represents the 10th-highest figrue in the NBA.
"He's scrappy and he's not going to let anyone run over him or roll over him," Lakers forward Shawne Williams said. "He's going to fight every night."
That's why Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni often stops film sessions and points out Blake's "multiple efforts," a common basketball term describing a player's penchant for hustle plays. D'Antoni also frequently gushes about Blake's smarts in both running his free-flowing offense as a point guard and moving off-the-ball as a shooting guard.
"He plays hard every night," D'Antoni said at a recent appearance at the Lakers' All-Access event at Staples Center, hosted by the LA Sports & Entertainment Commission. "He wouldn't be in the league this long if he didn't. Just look at his body."
The scrawny 6-3, 175-pound Blake then joked, "I can still dunk."
Blake, whose remaining $4 million contract with the Lakers expires after this season, has other limitations. He has only shot 40.4 percent from the field. Blake also missed a 20-footer and a three-point attempt that could've secured a Lakers win last week against the Memphis Grizzlies.
But Blake has still brought some relative backcourt stability while Bryant and Nash heal up.
Blake has offered the Lakers their own version of lob city by setting up Wesley Johnson for counteless alley oops. Blake mixes in setting up Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill both in the post and off pick-and-rolls. Blake often finds shooting guard Jodie Meeks open on backdoor cuts, along the wing and behind the perimeter. That's why it's not surprising Blake went on a recent four-game stretch where he averaged at least 10 assists. He also became the fourth Lakers player in franchise history to record at least 15 assists in a game, an honor also held by Magic Johnson, Nick Van Exel and Gary Payton.
"He always has a good feel in knowing where we are," said Meeks, who's averaged 13.2 points on 50.8 percent shooting. "I enjoy playing with him. Most games I have a feeling he's going to find me. He usually does. It makes you play harder."
It's hard to match Blake's hard work, though, a staple that has ensured a journeyman role player to last 10 NBA seasons thus far. He's done so by changing personalities once he steps on the floor.
"I've stuck around because I have to play that way," Blake said. "I'm not overly athletic compared to other guys on the floor. So I have to compete as hard or harder than anybody to try to be out there. That's just the way I play."

Serious injuries in Route 3A wreck in HudsonBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
July 15. 2013 12:12PM
HUDSON - Trauma crews responded to a serious motor vehicle accident in Hudson Monday morning, where a black Honda coupe was rolled over on impact after being struck by a Ford pick-up truck.
Shortly before 11 a.m. on Monday morning, Hudson police and fire crews were summoned to the accident scene on Route 3A, near Pelham Road.
A second ambulance was called to the scene 10 minutes later.
According to local police, several witnesses reported seeing the driver of the Honda turn left onto Pelham Road, right in the path of the oncoming the red truck. The truck, which was pulling a small trailer, was unable to stop in time and struck the Honda.
The Honda's driver, who apparently wasn't wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, suffered injuries described as serious after the vehicle was forced across the intersection, coming to rest on the side of Lowell Road.
The victim, who police didn't identify pending notification of family, suffered a head injury and lacerations and was transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua.
The truck's four occupants, believed to have suffered minor injuries and possible shock, were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Nashua as a precaution.
The crash remains under investigation by the Hudson Police Department.

CARSON, Calif. (Wednesday, February 1, 2012) – The LA Galaxy today acquired midfielder Kyle Nakazawa and a second round pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft from the Philadelphia Union in exchange for one of the Galaxy's eight international player roster spots during the 2012 season.
A native of Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., Nakazawa was selected by the Union in third round of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. He made his MLS debut against the Galaxy at The Home Depot Center in May 2010 and went on to play in 14 games for the club as a rookie, making eight starts. Last year, the 23-year-old set career-highs in all statistical categories, playing in 22 matches and scoring once while adding three assists. He started 14 of those 22 games, including both games that Philadelphia played against the Galaxy. He tallied the first assist of his MLS career on May 21, 2011 in a 2-1 home win over Chicago before recording his first goal and an assist in a 6-2 road win over Toronto FC a week later. His third and final assist of the year came on July 17 in a 3-0 win at New England.
A former member of the Galaxy U-20 team, Nakazawa played four years of college soccer at UCLA, scoring 20 goals and adding 26 assists in 75 games for the Bruins. A teammate of fellow Galaxy players Brian Perk and Michael Stephens at UCLA, Nakazawa represented the U.S. at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in Peru, helping his nation reach the quarterfinals by scoring two goals and adding an assist in four games at the tournament.
In exchange for Nakazawa and their natural second round pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, the Union, will now receive one of the Galaxy's international player roster slots for the upcoming season. The Galaxy will now be able to have seven international players on their roster for the upcoming season, after which the club will return one international spot to D.C. United as part of a previous trade while receiving spots back from the Union and the Portland Timbers, who also acquired an international spot from the club in a prior trade.
Nakazawa and the rest of the LA Galaxy will play their first official game of 2012 on Wednesday, March 7 when they face Toronto FC in the first leg of their 2011/12 CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal, which will be played at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They will open the 2012 MLS season three days later on Saturday, March 10 when they host Real Salt Lake at The Home Depot Center in MLS First Kick 2012, presented by Dick's Sporting Goods. That game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. (PT) and tickets are on sale now as part of season ticket packages as well as three and six-game plans. For more information about this game or to purchase tickets, visit www.lagalaxy.com/tickets.

I've taken my own hits. A book I finished writing was canceled within a week of the manuscript being submitted. A crafting website for which I was contracted to write weekly blog posts and tutorials cut all their paid content. I, and my fellow writers, fell by the cyber-wayside.
But you know what? I'm picking myself up. I resold my book to another publisher and like the Six-Million Dollar Man, it's going to be better, stronger, faster. The blogging gig I had was a terrific experience and my takeaway is a huge online community of supportive writers and crafters.
That, however, doesn't pay the rent. Out-of-work writers and editors are scrambling to find ways to make coin. When I saw the Seattle Post-Intelligencer cease publication and the Ann Arbor News—a paper in which I was thrilled to be published during college—go softly into that good night, I was dismayed. Kindles initially chilled me to the bone, I'm not gonna lie.
Then I started to see the forest through the trees (the ones that aren't being chopped down for paper and pulp). I started to see opportunity. I don't know what publishing is going to look like in a year, let alone a few months, but it will survive. It will evolve into something better, stronger, faster.
Publishing is far from dead; it's being reborn.
More people than ever are reading, be it through laptops, Kindles, or traditional mediums. Content is already starting to shake out, with quality writing separating itself from the chaff through user recommendations and trusted online voices, not through conventional publishing gatekeepers. In addition to having written 20-plus books, I was also an editor for many years, so I value an educated recommendation. But isn't it just as exciting for a piece of writing to be discovered and embraced by the community you originally hoped to reach, or even by an unexpected readership?
My friend Diane Gilleland, a fellow author and blogger who worked with me on the aforementioned crafting website, has found that putting her considerable talent into e-books is an effective way to reach her community in much less time than traditional publishing can accommodate. And she's able to reap a quicker ROI since she is, in essence, the publisher. She's one of many writers who are finding ways to transition successfully into publishing 2.0.
Here's Diane's take on things: "As much as I love my traditionally published book, I find it much easier and more authentic to publish my own work digitally. I see no reason to put good ideas on hold until a publisher decides there's a wide enough market for them. An enthusiastic niche audience is in many ways more fun than a mildly interested mainstream."
As for me, I'm putting the social media experience I've gleaned as a writer and author to use as a consultant. Over the years, I've discovered effective ways to promote my books and other products, build a strong personal brand, and connect with a community that expands daily. And in a similar fashion, I am helping businesses come out guns a' blazin' in this Wild, Wild West of Web 2.0. When the smoke clears, let's be the ones still standing. Let's be better, stronger, faster.
To become a more powerful publishing gunslinger, here are a few tips:
For the writer:
- Certain genres still work in the printed form, such as gift books and children's picture books. Investigate which areas of the bookstore continue to see strong traffic. Retool a book idea to fit into a market that is still drawn to bound books.
- Explore new mediums to publish your work, such as e-books and monetized blogs.
- Build your personal brand and develop a strong online community (which will enhance your desirability to a publisher) through the use of various social networking platforms.
- Write a blog to further solidify your brand.
- Embrace alternative channels of publishing. Kindle content may be inexpensive to consumers but it creates another income stream for you and your authors.
- Create a strong social networking presence to build a loyal community around your company and your authors.
- Use every possible avenue online to market your books. This includes blogs, forums, chat rooms, e-mail blasts, Facebook fan pages, YouTube videos, aggregate sites, and Twitter.
- Once you set up profiles and accounts online, actively participate by posting interesting content and connecting with your community.
- Partner with authors to achieve wide-ranging online publicity. We have skills far beyond being fabulous writers.

A lot of details have leaked on Microsoft's next major revamp of Windows Mobile, version 7. "Windows Mobile 7 will use touch gestures, similar to how the iPhone does. You will be able to flick through lists, pan, swipe sideway, draw on the screen. A lot of emphasis has been put on making navigation easier and doing away with scrollbars, including a new scroll handle that allows for multiple ways of finding items extremely fast. Windows Mobile 7 will use motion gestures, something the iPhone does not. It will not use an intricate and complicated series of gyroscopes and accelerometers. Instead, it will use the camera on the phone to detect motions and create appropriate actions. You will be able to shake, twist and otherwise manipulate the phone and get things done. The phone will be able to perform actions when placed face down on a surface, and it will know when it is in your pocket or bag."

A $1.1 billion program to supply fuel to the Afghan army as it struggles to take over from U.S. troops fighting the Taliban is lacking proper records detailing available funds and inventory, in part because many documents have been improperly shredded, auditors reported Monday.
The Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction sent letters to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and regional commanders requesting immediate action to repair the petroleum, oil and lubricants program that the U.S. Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan has been providing to the Afghan National Army.
"During the conduct of this audit," the letter said, the U.S. training command working on the transition of authority to Afghan commanders "informed us that its officials shredded all ANA POL financial records related to payments totaling nearly $475 million from October 2006 to February 2011." Because shredding these documents is a violation of Defense Department and U.S. Army policies, "SIGAR would like to reiterate the importance of retaining all financial records given the importance of accountability, transparency, and oversight." The IG asked Panetta to look into the causes and circumstances of the document destruction.
A second document, an interim report released by Special Inspector General John Sopko, concluded that the U.S. command in Afghanistan "does not have accurate or supportable information on how much in U.S. funds are needed for ANA fuel, where and how the fuel is used, or how much fuel has been lost or stolen." It offers corrective actions to be taken before the deadline of Jan. 1, 2013, when much of the fuel program will be taken over by the Afghanistan government using direct U.S. payments.
The auditors recommended a reduction in funds for the fuel program and creation of an action plan to improve record-keeping. Commenting on a draft report, the training command disagreed with the proposal to cut funds.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Monday announced that its National Security Subcommittee will examine the SIGAR report "sounding the alarm about potential waste in the U.S. taxpayer funded" program.

Game sends arcade enemies into the real world
But only Treo owners can see 'em...
Palm OS games developer ToySpring has updated its novel shoot-'em-up Arcade Reality - a game that superimposed alien attackers onto the output of a Palm Treo's digicam.
Not so much virtual reality as altered reality, ToySpring's title uses the real world as a backdrop for its arcade action. The game detects changes in the camera display to sense how you're moving in its own 3D world. So if there's a nasty behind you, turning round will bring it into view.
At the same time, it's an homage to the golden age of arcade gaming too, pitching the player against beings with more than a passing similarity to space invaders, Pac-Man ghosts, flying saucers, asteroids and Star Wars TIE fighters. There's even a fire-breathing dragon.
Arcade Reality 1.1 is available now for the Palm OS-based Treo 650, 680 and 700P. The game costs $15 to play in its entirety, but a set of early levels can be tried free of charge.

Gold pearls - Golden South Sea pearls are grown in the gold-lip variety of the Pinctada maxima, South Sea pearl oyster and are some of the biggest, most expensivevaluable pearls produced today. They display warm, natural, golden tones and no additives or treatments are required to maximise the beauty of these amazing gems.
Black pearls are formed when that piece of sand gets stuck in the body of a very specific type of oyster, the Tahitian black-lipped Pinctada margaritifera. The interior shell, called the nacre, of most oysters is usually a glossy white or silver but the Tahitian black-lipped oyster features a thick band of black.

There is accumulating evidence from bioinformatic studies that hepatitis C virus (HCV) possesses extensive RNA secondary structure in the core and NS5B-encoding regions of the genome. Recent functional studies have defined one such stem-loop structure in the NS5B region as an essential cis-acting replication element (CRE). A program was developed (STRUCTUR_DIST) that analyses multiple rna-folding patterns predicted by mfold to determine the evolutionary conservation of predicted stem-loop structures and, by a new method, to analyse frequencies of covariant sites in predicted RNA folding between HCV genotypes. These novel bioinformatic methods have been combined with enzymic mapping of RNA transcripts from the core and NS5B regions to precisely delineate the RNA structures that are present in these genomic regions. Together, these methods predict the existence of multiple, often juxtaposed stem-loops that are found in all HCV genotypes throughout both regions, as well as several strikingly conserved single-stranded regions, one of which coincides with a region of the genome to which ribosomal access is required for translation initiation. Despite the existence of marked sequence conservation between genotypes in the HCV CRE and single-stranded regions, there was no evidence for comparable suppression of variability at either synonymous or non-synonymous sites in the other predicted stem-loop structures. The configuration and genetic variability of many of these other NS5B and core structures is perhaps more consistent with their involvement in genome-scale ordered RNA structure, a structural configuration of the genomes of many positive-stranded RNA viruses that is associated with host persistence.
Discrete RNA secondary and higher-order structures, typically local in extent, play a fundamental role in RNA virus replication. Using new bioinformatics analysis methods, we have identified genome-scale ordered RNA structure (GORS) in many genera and families of positive-strand animal and plant RNA viruses. There was remarkably variability between genera that possess this characteristic; for example, hepaciviruses in the family Flaviviridae show evidence for extensive internal base-pairing throughout their coding sequences that was absent in both the related pestivirus and flavivirus genera. Similar genus-associated variability was observed in the Picornaviridae, the Caliciviridae, and many plant virus families. The similarity in replication strategies between genera in each of these families rules out a role for GORS in a fundamentally conserved aspect of this aspect of the virus life cycle. However, in the Picornaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Caliciviridae, the existence of GORS correlated strongly with the ability of each genus to persist in their natural hosts. This raises the intriguing possibility of a role for GORS in the modulation of innate intracellular defense mechanisms (and secondarily, the acquired immune system) triggered by double-stranded RNA, analogous in function to the expression of structured RNA transcripts by large DNA viruses. Irrespective of function, the observed evolutionary conservation of GORS in many viruses imposes a considerable constraint on genome plasticity and the consequent narrowing of sequence space in which neutral drift can occur. These findings potentially reconcile the rapid evolution of RNA viruses over short periods with the documented examples of extreme conservatism evident from their intimate coevolution with their hosts.

Frustrating isn't it?
Everybody told you social media is oh-so-important for generating traffic, so you focused so much of your time and effort building a following on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or whatever the flavor of the month is today.
But every time you publish one of your blog posts, these sources don't seem to drive all that much traffic. Only a small percentage of the following you've built seems to click-through to your site.
Well, what if I told you about a social media platform that not only generates mass traffic, but you don´t even need many followers to benefit from it.
If you're disappointed with your results from traditional social media, you should try Flipboard.
Flipboard is an app and website that allows you to curate content in the forms of an online magazine. (Few people know it also has great potential as a source of traffic to your website. But more on that later. )
The reasons Flipboard is preferable to traditional social media are simple.
When you sign up for Flipboard, it first presents you with a big list of topics. You select what you're interested in, and when you're done, Flipboard will create an online magazine with cover stories from all the topics you selected.
These cover stories are articles selected by other users.
You can personally add articles to your Flipboard as well.
Imagine you find an article on copywriting that you'd like to read, but you don't have time right at that moment. You might then add it to your Flipboard (also known as "flipping"), and later, when you do have some time, you can read it (and other articles you've flipped) at your leisure.
Flipboard's format differs from other content curation sites you find on the web. Instead of presenting the curated content on lists like on StumbleUpon or on boards like on Pinterest, Flipboard enables its users to have a real journalistic feel by collecting users' content into a magazine-style format.
So you must be wondering, how can this help you get traffic?

STATEN ISLAND, NY – Sunday, Sept. 9 is the last of three "Voter Registration Sundays" organized and promoted by Priests for Life and the national Vote Pro-life Coalition.Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, has challenged Churches and church organizations to abandon their fears and take every means permitted to them to register as many Americans as possible to vote in the fast-approaching elections.
"We are our own obstacle," Fr. Frank declared. "The fears of pastors in this area are in overdrive, creating a caricature of our legal system as well as a mockery of our faith. We imagine the IRS knocking at our door Monday morning for what we say on Sunday. That's not going to happen. And we have more fear of what people will say if we take action than we have of what God will say if we don't."
"Assisting people to register to vote is one of the best ways to exercise our citizenship," said Fr. Frank. "Non-partisan voter registration is both legal and appropriate for Churches to do, because it is a way to assist members of the congregation to exercise their faith in day- to-day life."
Visitors to www.priestsforlife.org/vote will find all the information and materials they will need to conduct a successful registration drive. Priests for Life has spearheaded this effort by forming the "Vote Pro-life Coalition," in which dozens of national organizations pursue the same goals related to non-partisan political involvement.
"Conducting voter registration is one of the ways we exercise our religious freedom," Fr. Frank added. "In the midst of our current efforts to defend that freedom, wouldn't it be a sad irony if the Church were to fail to exercise it?"
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Tuberculosis is a chronic bacterial infection caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that is spread through the air when a person with the disease coughs or sneezes. A person may become infected with TB when they breathe the air droplets from the person who is sick with the disease. The disease commonly infects the lungs but can infect other parts of the body including the spine, brain or kidney. Below are the characteristics of TB infection and TB disease.
Latent TB Infection
Not everyone who becomes infected with tuberculosis becomes sick with the disease itself. This is because the body's immune system is able to keep the number of TB germs low enough to prevent the active disease from developing. The infection at this point is called latent TB infection.

The grand ol' game losing another beloved name
NEW YORK -- My personal odometer reads 65 years and four months. There is good in that; with age comes a sense of self-satisfaction that I've been watching long enough to have seen a substantial amount that younger folks in my midst have missed -- Cronkite, Carson and Andy Rooney, Elvis, Sinatra and the Kramdens and the three center fielders who graced New York in the 50's. And I spent an unimaginable hour, one on one, with Casey.
A downside exists, too; a troubling sort of sadness develops when what and who I have found enlightening, entertaining and fun become less available.
NEW YORK -- My personal odometer reads 65 years and four months. There is good in that; with age comes a sense of self-satisfaction that I've been watching long enough to have seen a substantial amount that younger folks in my midst have missed -- Cronkite, Carson and Andy Rooney, Elvis, Sinatra and the Kramdens and the three center fielders who graced New York in the 50's. And I spent an unimaginable hour, one on one, with Casey.
A downside exists, too; a troubling sort of sadness develops when what and who I have found enlightening, entertaining and fun become less available.
So damn, Jim Leyland has retired.
Davey Johnson has managed his last game. Double damn.
And, dag-nabbit, Tim McCarver is about to begin his swan song.
I wanted none of that. Thank God Scully's giving us more.
We've known of Johnson's and McCarver's "no mas" plans for some time, not that knowing makes their pending absence any more palatable. And now the hat trick for baseball men of a certain age. Leyland has stepped down. Gosh dern.
With the World Series on deck and in the aftermath of riveting playoff series, we get this sad news about one of the most successful managers of our time. Not sad for him, but for us. That's two dugouts and one TV booth that will be conspicuously different next season.
The departures of Leyland, Davey and McCarver from the comfortable everyday-ness of the game come only a few years after Torre, Cox, Piniella and La Russa bid us adieu. And Trader Jack and the White Rat have been out of the game even longer. So where are folks in my business to turn for baseball wit, wisdom, insights, anecdotes and entertainment?
I lament the passing of the characters from the game. And I decry the loss of the self-assured guys who never are stumped for a response to hello or afraid to explain their batting order or choice of reliever. They are members of an endangered species.
The game is losing personalities the way the 2003 Tigers lost games -- in bunches. (They weren't Leyland's team.) Now that Leyland has taken leave, what's left for those of us who believe war is a lower-case noun, not a measurement of value, those who enjoy lunch with the scouts in Spring Training and can't get enough Fredi, Gardy, Ventura, Boch, Collins and Hurdle?
The game has serious-ed up and become a little colder. The at ease of it has been displaced to a great degree by "Attention". Some of the skippers have read too much Belichick and adopted his "never smile" policy.
With the possible exceptions of Vern Rapp and Eddie Haas, no manager in the last 40 years has taken the game more seriously than Leyland, not even the stone faces of St. Louis, La Russa or Matheny. But Leyland could and did share a laugh during BP and leave the game at the ballpark.
Due-diligence Dave Dombrowski, the skilled and resourceful GM of the Tigers, will have made a good decision when he introduces Leyland's successor. He will be hard pressed, though, to find a successor who will prosper as deftly as Leyland has, despite the angst of the position and the expectations, given the Tigers' personnel. Will Dombrowski find a man to run a game and a bullpen so successfully and also retain charm and civility?
From a purely selfish standpoint, I sense the next man to signal for a Tigers' pitchout won't be as much fun to cover as Leyland has been in all his incarnations. Will the next guy share so much of himself? Will he show his teeth postgame and then forget his anger while toweling off? Leyland knows how to wash off the game. He wouldn't fuss over a failed maneuver. But he'd recall it forever.
He was equipped for almost any challenge 162 workdays could present. The many extended conversations he and his friend La Russa have had over the years hardly were monologues. They were sharing knowledge and savvy that few others could match. They spoke in their own shorthand with terms and phrases not familiar to the masses. It was fascinating.
My age and their trust put me in position to listen -- and learn -- during the Tigers' 2012 spring camp. La Russa, less than six months retired, was Leyland's guest in Lakeland, Fla., for days. They were Rodgers and Hammerstein, Woodward and Bernstein, Wooden and Knight. At times, and in some treasured-in-a-different-way moments, they were Laurel and Hardy, Sylvester and Tweetie Pie. I kept my mouth shut. Dear sweet access.
A conversation between Torre and Kaat at Citi Field in 2010, one I was privileged to monitor, had the same attributes. It was deep baseball. Two PhD's talking. I shushed myself. You can observe a lot by watching (and listening).
• • •
Leyland was a good interview, though many of our more recent manager-reporter sessions ran outside the baseline and found their way to old rock and roll. We shared a passion. I urged him to see Jersey Boys. He said he owes me for that. I was headed to my hotel room in Louisville at the 1993 Winter Meetings. It was past midnight and my eyes were closing. I had pushed the button for the elevator when I heard "Noble, come on, we're singing."
The button wasn't pushed again until 3:15. He can sing. I owe him for that.
Leyland has sung on stage with Pittsburgh's Skyliners ("Since I Don't Have You, 1959, Calico Records and No. 3 in on my Top 40). He and I sang it that night in Louisville, though our version might have been unrecognizable to the group.
If and when our paths cross in 2014, I might have to sing it to him.
The game will miss you, James.

The promoters of Michael Jackson's highly anticipated comeback concerts were interested in pursuing a 3-D version of a "Thriller" movie and a TV special of one of his sold-out concerts at the O2 arena in London, an accountant testified Tuesday.
Arthur L. Erk, a certified public accountant from New York who has previously worked with musical acts such as Britney Spears and Notorious B.I.G, testified that Jackson's planned "This Is It" concerts stood to make well over $1 billion if he took his show on a global tour.
Erk said the fact that Jackson had sold out 50 shows at the London venue in just minutes was proof that the pop singer's marketability remained unmatched.
"It never happened before, and it still hasn't happened again," said Erk, who calculated that Jackson stood to make as much as $1.5 million if he went on a worldwide tour, as the promoter -- AEG Live -- had hoped.
Erk said that if Jackson had ultimately pulled off a 260-date world tour, envisioned as spanning several years, he could have sold 12.9 million tickets.
The testimony marked the first time in the 2½-month wrongful death case that the attorney representing Jackson's mother and children has tipped his hand on what type of money the family might be seeking from AEG. Jackson died while he was rehearsing in Los Angeles for the planned 2009 tour.
During cross-examination Monday, AEG attorney Sabrina Strong attacked Erk's projections, pointing out that Jackson had a history of drug use, had never toured for as long as the CPA anticipated and had been sued in the past for backing out of concerts and other business deals.
Strong played a short portion of the deposition of Katherine Jackson, the singer's mother, in which she said she was surprised when he announced the "This Is It" concert series.
"Because I know Michael didn't want to do any more," she said.
Katherine Jackson said her son joked that he didn't want to moonwalk on stage when he was 50, his age when he died of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.
Erk said he wasn't aware of those problems but insisted there was plenty of evidence that Jackson would have gone through with the concerts and that AEG executives certainly thought so.
"He needed the work," Erk said, referring to Jackson's financial problems.
On Tuesday, Erk said that his work wrongful death case has cost $300,000.

If the teaching of emptiness and emptiness itself are two different things, its a strange kind of emptiness.Dexing wrote:
There is only way.
That is- through the wisdom of emptiness, not the teachings on the wisdom of emptiness.
What you're saying amounts to saying that enlightenment is simply a case of emptiness itself awakening to itself; but it is actually a sentient being awakening to enlightenment. And that, more often than not, involves hearing the Dharma.

I just had on MSNBC (what...you were expecting Fox News?) with my preferred method of the sound off as I started writing this, and I saw Michelle Obama yammering about something over the chyron, "Great Expectations." Seriously, MSNBC? At least when it comes to President Obama and debates, I think the hour of the great expectations is long passed. The truth is that his 2008 debate performance was pretty mediocre, too, but his opponent John "That one!" McCain was equally lost. What's more, the Atlantic's Molly Ball, in a much-discussed piece, makes the argument that Obama's been "off his game" (assuming he once had one) for weeks now. Who knows why that is? Maybe the pressure....of living with his mother-in-law...finally got to him after four years.
So what should Obama do tonight? The worst thing is to raise "great expectations" that he's going to come out a completely different man -- because that's just not going to happen. He does need to a better job explaining, in his own plodding way, where the country's been the last 12 years and what could go wrong if America's low-information voters pick the call-in winner of "Debating With The Stars."
He should also take a page from the book of...ahem..Ronald Reagan. In 1984, a befuddled Gipper looked older than his 73 years in his first debate with Walter Mondale, and he was beaten so badly it nearly unraveled his carefully-crafted "Morning in America" strategy. In the second debate, he famously joked that "I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience." The gambit worked -- even though the truth was that Reagan's overall performance wasn't that great in the second debate, merely good enough.
If I were in President Obama's often-looked-down-at shoes, I'd look into the camera (because that alone would be progress!) and just admit it: "I should have done better last time -- not for me, but for the millions of people who've donated their time or their money for my campaign, and for the entire nation I've been honored to serve as president. You know, I wasn't the president of my high school debate club..maybe I knew even then that wasn't my thing. But running a country is more than a debate society..."
He then needs to find a more politically correct way to ask America if it really wants to pick the guy who smiles more and looks into the camera better...so he can spend four years cutting taxes for the rich, threatening 50 years of progress on women's rights and voting rights and returning to a reckless neocon foreign policy. If he does that, he'll still probably "lose the debate" on style points. But maybe he'll win just enough for the millions of people who don't want to go back to the 2000s... or the 1890s.

The University of Wisconsin Insect Diagnostic Lab was established in 1978 to provide timely and accurate identification of insects and insect-damaged plant material from around Wisconsin. Part of the mission of the IDL is to provide support to the county extension offices throughout the state. In addition, the IDL provides diagnostic services for the general public, private companies, agricultural producers, pest control professionals, the green industry, medical professionals, and other groups.
The lab processes over 2,400 samples each year. Homeowners are encouraged to check with their local extension office for help first because many samples can be handled in a more efficient manner locally. Mail in samples, emails (with pictures if possible) and walk in samples are all accepted. At the present time there are no charges for Wisconsin residents.
The IDL also provides outreach services for the UW-Madison Department of Entomology.

Pair face murder trial in Philly building collapse
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A second Philadelphia demolition worker has been charged with murder in the deaths of six people killed when a brick wall being taken down collapsed onto an adjacent thrift store last summer.
A judge upgraded charges Tuesday against backhoe operator Sean Benschop to six counts of third-degree murder after hearing new evidence at a preliminary hearing.
A city inspector testified that Benschop had previously been warned at another job site not to use heavy equipment near an unstable wall, especially with an occupied building nearby, prosecutors said.
"It was just such a wildly unstable situation. You can't be operating heavy machinery in that circumstance. The vibrations alone could knock down an unsupported wall," Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Selber, chief of the homicide unit, said after the hearing.
Testimony about the previous warning, four months before the collapse, shows recklessness and warrants the third-degree murder charges against Benschop, she said.
Benschop, who allegedly had marijuana and painkillers in his system that day, had earlier been charged with six counts of involuntary manslaughter. His lawyer has called him a scapegoat for mistakes made by the contractor and others, and has argued that Benschop took orders at the site from the contractor. The defense attorney did not immediately return a call for comment Tuesday.
The collapse occurred when an unsupported brick wall crashed down onto a smaller Salvation Army store in June, trapping shoppers and workers in rubble.
Also Tuesday, Common Pleas Judge Teresa Carr Deni upheld the same murder and involuntary manslaughter charges against demolition contractor Griffin Campbell. Additionally, both men are charged with conspiracy, causing a catastrophe and other charges. Campbell's lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment.
Prosecutors have called Campbell "the center of culpability" for the deadly collapse, and said he ignored his client's warning the night before that disaster was imminent.
Other witnesses Tuesday included survivor Nadine White, a Salvation Army worker pulled from the rubble by a firefighter. She testified that workers were concerned before the collapse about vibrations and dust from the demolition project.
Building owner Richard Basciano, who chose Campbell's $112,000 bid to take down three attached storefronts when other bids were two or three times that amount, has not been charged. His architect was given immunity in exchange for his grand jury testimony. The grand jury has not finished its work, and more charges could be filed.
Benschop and Campbell remain in prison, awaiting trial. No trial date has been set.
Several civil lawsuits have also been filed over the six deaths and 13 injuries.

The Washington Post (per Jason Horowitz) makes John McCain an offer he's unlikely to refuse and, in fact, has already accepted:
McCain's most probable avenue back to the land of mavericks and media adulation runs through immigration reform. The Republican base may hate him for it, but the country and a GOP whose unpopularity with Hispanic voters has prompted an existential crisis may end up owing him, as they say in Senate parlance, a debt of gratitude.
That's a shameless piece of advocacy journalism even taking into account that it appears in the Style section of the Post, the left-most precinct of a left-wing newspaper.
But a path to citizenship for ten million or so illegal aliens would, indeed, be a fitting legacy for John McCain. For it eventually would mean the demise of American conservatism as we know it and, quite possibly, a split of the Republican Party.

Has your kid ever played on a see-saw? In recent decades, see-saws, tall jungle gyms, big slides, merry-go-rounds, and even tire swings have largely disappeared from playgrounds as federal guidelines and safety standards set by manufacturers (largely driven by fear of lawsuits) aim to make structures safer. But a recent New York Times piece wonders: are kids missing out on the chance to build confidence by having all the risk removed from their play spaces?
Plus: Dear Playground Moms
Even if children do suffer fewer physical injuries — and the evidence for that is debatable — the critics say that these playgrounds may stunt emotional development, leaving children with anxieties and fears that are ultimately worse than a broken bone.
"Children need to encounter risks and overcome fears on the playground," said Ellen Sandseter, a professor of psychology at Queen Maud University in Norway. "I think monkey bars and tall slides are great. As playgrounds become more and more boring, these are some of the few features that still can give children thrilling experiences with heights and high speed."
What do you think: do you miss some of riskier play structures of your youth? Do you think today's kids are missing out?

Charles Darwin. Narrative of the Surveying Voyage of His Majesty's Ships Adventure and Beagle, Between the Years 1826 and 1836: Describing their Examination of the Southern Shores of South America, and the Beagle's Circumnavigation of the Globe. Vol. 3: Journals and Remarks, 1832-1836. London: H. Colburn, 1839. Gift of Louise Bulkley Dillingham '16.
When Charles Darwin signed on to the Beagle's expedition to map the South American coast for the British Navy he was 22 years old and a recent graduate of Cambridge University. Although he had trained to become an Anglican minister, he demonstrated to several of his professors that his real enthusiasm was for natural history, not theology. When the captain of the Beagle, Robert Fitzroy, approached his old Cambridge mentors to recruit a gentleman companion for the long trip, they strongly recommended Darwin. He leapt at the chance, in spite of his father's objections, for this was an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Alexander von Humboldt, Joseph Banks, and many other naturalists who had built their reputations by exploring, collecting, and analyzing previously little known parts of the world.

CHICAGO (AP) — Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall says he has heard of players using Viagra in an effort to gain an edge on the field.
Marshall made the comment Wednesday when he was asked about a growing number of suspensions tied to amphetamines, including the ADHD drug Adderall.
Marshall said he didn't know much about Adderall, but then suggested Viagra, which is used to treat impotence in men, could be seen by players as a way to boost their energy.
Marshall says the NFL is so competitive that "guys try anything just to get that edge. ... I've heard crazy stories. I've heard of guys using Viagra, seriously."
Marshall says he's healthy and doesn't take any medications "of any sort."

** (out of four)
Maybe people faint all the time. I've never seen it. By my count, movie characters faint roughly 450,000 times more often than real people do.
Comic effect is one thing, but who really laughs at someone fainting? Much like the considerably more painful "The Big Wedding," "Peeples" trots out familiar comedy tropes simply for lack of other ideas. The film incorporates not one but two unintentional drug trips, which I think is a button on screenwriting software that automatically writes generic, dude-I'm-freaking-out scenes for you.
In other words, the biggest starring role for Chicago native Craig Robinson ("The Office") goes in one ear and out the other, through no fault of his. Robinson's an appealing teddy bear, but the kind of teddy bear (a distant relative of actual stuffed animal Ted?) who hears about Moby Dick day and makes a joke about, well, take a guess.
Robinson plays Wade, who after a year of dating wants to meet his better-half Grace's (Kerry Washington) parents, especially now that he's had an engagement ring in his pocket for three months and hasn't pulled the trigger. Before you can say "Meet the Parents," Wade gets humped by the family dog and continually disappoints his potential father-in-law (David Alan Grier), a federal judge perhaps modeled on Uncle Phil of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air."
Surprise surprise—every time Wade tries to propose a phone rings or everyone's called for lunch or whatever. The movie's best moments let Robinson vamp and showcase his musicality. Wade performs songs to kids to help them express themselves—"Speak it, don't leak it!" preaches an anti-peeing-your-pants message—and later imitates Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video when criticizing the age of Grace's exes. But "Peeples" starts in a rut and stays there, like a dog told to sit and never reminded to stand again. Grace's sister, Gloria (Kalli Hawk), considers coming out of the closet while her family is totally oblivious to the nature of her relationship with Meg (Kimrie Lewis-Davis). Wade's brother (Malcolm Barrett) shows up saying Gloria looks too good not to be hit on, regardless of her sexuality.
That doesn't exactly take Gloria's identity seriously, nor does the note that she and Meg played rugby together in college. For a movie that makes repeated reference to major figures in black history, you'd think all stereotypes would be a no-no.

For over a year now we've been hearing rumors that the shape-shifting alien race known as The Skrulls would be the primary villains in Marvel's The Avengers movie. However, since that initial rumor surfaced, conflicting reports have come in about how the Skrulls would be implemented into the story of The Avengers' formation. The two most consistent rumors have been that either Thor's brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and/or The Skrulls' hated enemy - the alien race known as The Kree - would be involved in the epic conflict that threatens Earth and assembles its mightiest heroes together.
Today we have more evidence suggesting that The Avengers will use the legendary Kree/Skrull war as its conflict, with Earth and its superheroes caught in the middle. This "evidence" comes our way via Before the Trailer, which tracked down an open casting call to New Mexico residents to be extras in The Avengers movie. We already know that the film is shooting in New Mexico, so the casting call for extras in that area certainly makes sense.
Check out the alleged call sheet for yourselves:
As many New Mexico local residents as possible will be cast.
• This is a PAID job.
• No experience working as an extra or actor is required.
• All ages and types are needed, but must be 18+ to attend.
• Will accept non-returnable photos of kids that can obtain work permit.
• Come to the open casting call well groomed, and well dressed.
• Please bring a pen and photo ID.
• Photos will be taken at NO CHARGE at the open casting call.
• NO PHONE CALLS to the casting call venue.

A superhero team called "The Avengers" do battle against two separate alien extraterrestrial humanoid life forms. The Avengers are a superhero team, consisting of a group of Marvel Comics heroes aka "Earth's Mightiest Heroes". The aliens that The Avengers will fight are called "The Kree" and "Skrulls". These two extraterrestrial races become embroiled in a war for ages that ultimately makes its way to Earth, and the Avengers unite to intervene with all their power and might combined.
We've known for awhile that Mark Ruffalo will being doing motion-capture to create The Hulk in The Avengers movie, and that Lou Ferrigno would be providing the voice of the Jade Giant, so that's not a revelation. Still, there are a few things to discuss here:
Firstly, there's the issue of the Kree/Skull war. I recently wrote a piece talking about The Skrulls and Loki being The Avengers villains, in which I laid down a few opinions about why such a combination would be good not only for The Avengers but for the expanding Marvel Movie Universe as a whole. The bottom line is this: having an extraterrestrial threat, combined with Loki using the "Cosmic Cubes" to point the alien threat at Earth, perfectly utilizes all the characters and plot threads that Marvel has been building in their respective films. It also leaves the door wide open for the future of Marvel's Movie Universe.

Nancy Caron
Hometown: Brookfield, Conn.
Major: Reading Education
WCSU Degree: Master of Science in Education - Reading
Internships: Field work in Danbury Public Schools, student teaching in Newtown
Activities: As an undergraduate, Education Club vice president, membership in Alpha Delta Pi, currently a third-grade teacher in Greenwich, Conn.
Honors and Awards: WCSU Alumni Scholarship recipient; WCSU Grandahl Award and Scholarship for Mathematics Education recipient; member of Pi Lambda Theta Education Honors Society; graduated magna cum laude as a WCSU undergraduate, expects to graduate summa cum laude with master's degree; 3.92 GPA
Nancy Caron was beginning her freshman year at New York University in the fall of 2001 when the whole world changed. "After Sept. 11, I decided to transfer someplace smaller, but still close to home," she says. "I had a friend who was going to WCSU who suggested that I visit her. I did, and the rest is history. I had no intention of staying at WestConn when I transfered, but I got involved, made friends, enjoyed my classes and saw no reason to leave. I loved it and am so glad that I stayed!"
Caron says she always wanted to be a teacher and had a love of math, so she graduated from WestConn in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education - Mathematics. Immediately upon graduating, she enrolled in WestConn's Master of Science in Education program. "I had such an amazing experience at WCSU, and I would attribute a lot of that to the wonderful professors that I had, both in the math and education departments," she says.
"I really came to admire education department faculty such as Dr. Darla Shaw, Dr. Thomas Cordy and Dr. John Caruso, just to name a few," she says. "I'm sure I'm leaving someone out, because they have all been such great teachers and mentors. In the math department, Dr. Paula Maida was an amazing professor who really helped me make the link between math and education. Her class was always interesting and helped me generate many ideas that I use in my classroom today. I also truly enjoyed classes with Dr. David Burns, Dr. Chuck Rocca and Dr. Barry Mittag. Something I loved about WCSU is that you end up having professors multiple times and you become close with the faculty as well as the other students in your major."
Asked what she will remember most about her WestConn experience, Caron says, "Although it is not academic, my most memorable moment was meeting my husband at an Alpha Delta Pi/Tau Kappa Epsilon social. That was back in 2002. Now we are married with a 3-month-old son."
After graduation, Caron hopes to return to WCSU in a few years to obtain her Doctorate of Education, or Ed.D., degree.
Caron's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "Take advantage of all that WCSU has to offer. Although it is a small school, it is filled with opportunities. The campus life is great on both campuses, the faculty is wonderful, and the friendships I made will last a lifetime"
