Alaska campus dean pens book on Second Temple period
Dr. Jeff Anderson, dean of the Wayland Baptist University campus in Anchorage, Alaska, has penned a book on the Second Temple Period. The book is scheduled for release in August 2002 and will be published by University Press of America.
"The Internal Diversification of Second Temple Judaism: An Introduction to the Second Temple Period" is basically an overview of the history, communities and theological innovations of the Second Temple Period, which took place from 515 BCE to 70 CE.
"The Second Temple Period was one of the most prolific and creative of all of ancient Israel's history," Anderson said. "It was a time of unparalleled literary and theological diversity and it led to the powerful religious movements of Rabbinic Judaism and Early Christianity."
Anderson said the book examines the socio-religious movements of the period and summarizes the significant literary creativity that characterized Second Temple Judaism, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Apocrypha. He added that the book is intended to be a reader's first introduction to the period.
A 1979 graduate of Wayland, Anderson holds the Master of Divinity degree from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Master of Arts and Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University. He has also studied at Tel Aviv University.
He is a professor of religion at the Wayland campus and has worked on the book for six years.

Parrott Academy won�t be able to defend its state 2A boys golf title, but it does have the opportunity to go back-to-back.
Parrott Academy won�t be able to defend its state 2A boys golf title, but it does have the opportunity to go back-to-back.
The Patriots will take part in the eight team NCISAA state 3A golf championships Monday and Tuesday at Bryan Park in Greensboro.
Parrott Academy, a 3A school this year, won the 2A title a year ago for its fifth boys golf championship in school history.
The Patriots expect to see some tough competition at the 3A level, but that isn�t deterring them from focusing on winning their sixth state championship overall.
�It�s going to be tough, it really is,� coach Rickie Killinger said. �We�ve got the talent, it�s just a matter of us going to compete and perform.�
Parrott golf has dominated the prep school landscape over the last decade.
Since their first state title in 2002, the Patriots have finished at least third in every state championship tournament, including three second-place finishes and one tied-for-first finish in 2011 that ended in second place after losing in a playoff.
Leading Parrott this year is senior Jack Sides. Sides, who has signed with High Point University, is the reigning High School Invitational champion, EPIC player of the year and leads the team in scoring average at 72.0. Riley Davis, a senior headed to UNC Pembroke, is averaging 73.6 while senior James Stroud is averaging a 79.1.
Freshman Wes Simmons, who is being recruited by several Division I schools, Killinger said, is second on the team in scoring average at 72.6. He shot a 66 at Prestonwood Country Club to win the Eastern Plains Independent Conference individual title.
Matt Simmons, the older brother of Wes Simmons, is averaging a 78 while Walt Killinger, a first-year player, rounds out the six-man team.
That six-man team set a school record with a 275 at the EPIC championships.
Sides (43rd), Davis (38th) and Wes Simmons (26th) are ranked in the top 50 among junior golfers statewide.
�Junior golf programs at local country clubs are producing good players. We�ve just been fortunate enough to get those golfers,� Killinger said. �A lot of the credit has got to go to their parents, instilling in them that ability at a young age and helping them to get better throughout the years.
�Golf is a tough game, and you don�t get to have the success that we�ve had without working at it.�

The cyclists on your list probably have all the lights, warm winter wears, tools and bike accessories they need, but you can still surprise them with a cycle-centric gift. Asheville on Bikes director Michael Sule offers several creative ideas for bicycle enthusiasts.
"Those who ride the city appreciate Asheville's expansion of multi-modal infrastructure, so give the gift that keeps on greening," says Sule. "RiverLink offers a chance to invest in expanding local infrastructure by purchasing a Deed of Support for Asheville area greenways in the name someone special. Deeds can be purchased for $50 at riverlink.org/store.asp."
Or, for the bargain hunters, Sule offers this option. "Support local businesses and helmet use by giving a Bicycle Benefits sticker, which promotes safe riding and local businesses throughout the country. Those who spruce up their helmets with a Bicycle Benefits sticker receive discounts at several local shops, including Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company, The Dripolator, French Broad Chocolate Lounge and Harvest Records, among others." Stickers can be purchased at all participating businesses. For a full list, visit bicyclebenefits.org.
Finally, Sule recommends an Asheville on Bikes original. "As winter rolls in, wool socks are always appreciated. Purchase a pair of Asheville on Bikes socks for $12 to support Asheville on Bikes community rides and after school bicycle programs. This gift keeps your special cyclist's feet warm and supports Asheville on Bikes' outreach programs. AoB socks are manufactured by Defeet, located in North Carolina, and can be purchased at ProBikes in West Asheville."

The Dragon Cave
Jared Baxa
There once lived, in the high Huangshan mountains in the southern anhui province in eastern China, a Yang family who was considered to be part of the high class in the region. This family lived in Huangshan City and consisted of an elderly couple with their young son who was growing up so quickly. The son's name was Jia yuan because of the fact that he was the first-born child of his elderly parents. As he continued to grow, his parents taught him the traditions of their Chinese culture and started to push the idea of finding a wife so that he could settle down and have children of his own. Jia yuan did not like this idea, as he was a very independent and quiet male who just enjoyed teaching martial arts.
Jia yuan was very skilled at martial arts, and at a very young age, began to teach younger children the basics of this difficult art. One sunny and warm summer morning, Jia yuan walked to his little shop not expecting much from the new day, as everyday seemed to be the same activities and teachings over and over again. However, at midday, a very fine young woman named Ai, walked into the store hoping to get martial arts lessons so that she could better defend herself if anything were to happen. Jia yuan found this young lady very attracted and gladly accepted her into his lessons.
After a couple of lessons, the two became very close to one another and decided to start seeing each other outside of the martial arts lessons. After some time, Jia yuan found out that Ai was from a peasant family, and came to the realization that the relationship may not work out due to the differences in wealth. Despite the differences, Jia yuan had very strong feelings for Ai and the two ultimately fell in love and decided that they wanted to get married. Ai's family, of course accepted the marriage, but the Yang family had a harder time, as Jia yuan's father did not accept the differences in class.
"Father, Ai is extremely kind, determined, and loving," Jia yuan said, trying to convice his father, "and I do not care about the differences in our status, as I know that they will not affect our love for each other. So will you please accept the marriage contract?"
"No, Jia yuan," the father stated, "We have talked enough about the matter and I do not want to talk about it any longer. I will not let this marriage take place."
Although Jia yuan and Ai felt as the worst of their problems had just hit them, they had no idea what the near future was holding for them and how it would affect their lives together. The high and powerful ruler of the province, named Feng, was not happy with the power that Jia yuan was giving the people through his martial arts lessons, and decided that he must come up with a plan to end the trouble that Jia yuan had created.
Not wanting to resort to violence, Feng decided that he would dress up as a visitor and try to tempt Jia yuan into selling his store for a large sum of money. Showing up to the store the early the very next morning, Feng entered the store and began his plan.
"Say, this is a very nice store and location you have yourself" Feng stated while looking around the store. "I have been looking everywhere for a store like this, and now I have finally found it! Would you be interested in selling it to me for a large amount of money by chance?"
Jia yuan thought about the offer for quite some time, and eventually his customers heard about the possibility of no longer having lessons, and began to ask him questions such as, "Who will continue our lessons on the martial arts?" or, "How am I supposed to keep my skills up to par with the other provinces?" Eventually Jia yuan came to the conclusion, after thinking about the affect on his loyal customers and the community that he could not give up the shop to this random visitor.
Feng was not happy with this decision, but had no other choice at the time but to retreat back to his castle and wait for the next opportunity. Meanwhile, Jia yuan's father was quickly making plans to marry his son to another woman before Jia yuan decided to disobey his father and leave with Ai forever. He was looking high and low for a woman that fit within his standards while staying within his own wealthy class.
"I cannot find anyone who is suitable for our son, Jia yuan!" the father said to his wife after ending up empty handed.
"Have you ever thought that maybe the only one suitable for him is Ai?" she asked in response to her husband's frustration.
The father responded, angered by her comment, "I will marry him to any girl within our class before I marry him to Ai!"
So the father had it set that Jia yuan was to get married to a girl he had never met, nor had any interest in. The marriage was set for a week from that day, and there was nothing Jia yuan or Ai could do about it besides mope about how their time together was coming to a close.
Back up in the mountains where Feng's castle was located, Feng and his soldiers were attempting to come up with a plan to put an end to the defense system that Jia yuan was teaching the people of Huangshan city. Nothing was getting accomplished until a lower ranked soldier came up with the idea that would be carried out.
"Why don't you throw a festival that day, and when the couple comes along to join in on the festivities, snatch the girl away from him" began the soldier, "and when he comes chasing after her, capture him also and put them in captivity so that you can destroy the store and never have to worry about the power he is spreading to the people of Huangshan city."
"That sounds like the perfect plan!" yelled Feng to all of the soldiers. "Get to work all of you measly soldiers! We have a lot of work to do!"
And so the following week, a day before Jia yuan's wedding was scheduled for, the festival was expected to take place. Jia yuan refused to go with his bride to be, and instead went with his only love, Ai. It was a perfectly sunny day that was neither hot nor too cold. The couple was having the time of their life at the festival eating the many different kinds of food present, and participating in the activities. They had forgot about the wedding that was expected to happen the next day, and just thought about having the best time they could on their last day together.
Feng was planning his actions from the shadows of a tall tree as he was watching the couple having a grand time throughout the entire festival that he so deviously planned out so that he could get back at Jia yuan and his martial art store. When the festival seemed to be coming to and end, Feng ordered his men to begin the set plan.
"Go get the lady as secretively as you can" stated Feng to his soldiers, "And make as little ruckus as you can so that you do not ruin the festival!"
So while Jia yuan was waiting in line for some food that the couple had ordered, the soldiers came up behind Ai and grabbed her. Jia yuan heard some yelling and screaming, but he thought nothing of it as there was a lot of yelling going on around him during the festival. He therefore, did not notice that she had been taken until he brought the food back to where they were sitting and she was no longer there. He quickly looked around for her but could not find her anywhere until he looked far off into the distance and saw her being carried up into the mountains by the many soldiers. Jia yuan tried as hard as he could to catch up to the soldiers but they were to far ahead, and the mountains were too dangerous to travel alone at night, so he eventually gave up and retired back to his home for the night.
Jia yuan was devastated. Never in his life had he felt so hopeless and lonely, and could think of only one thing to do. He must go after her to try to free her from the evil Feng and his soldiers. Although he knew that the mission would be nearly impossible, he decided that it he would rather die than live the rest of his life without her. The thought of the wedding the next day urged him even further to go on the mission to save the love of his life. The next morning, Jia yuan talked about what he should do about the situation with the one person who would tell him their most honest opinion.
"You should chase after what makes you happy, and if it is Ai that brings you happiness, you should chase after her until you find her" the mother responded to her sad and lonely son.
And with that, Jia yuan began packing the items he would need for the treacherous adventure to find Ai. It was not long before he had everything together, as he was very eager to leave the city and search for what he had lost. Soon after he had eaten breakfast, Jia yuan set off for the Huangshan Mountains.
"Good luck, and safe travels" his mother said as he was leaving, "I will tell your father that you had to take care of some important business."
"Thank you so much, mother" Jia yuan started, "I will come back soon."
The first couple of hours hiking up the mountain were easy for Jia yuan as he was very fit with all of his martial art practicing. Although he didn't know which direction he should be going, Jia yuan felt confident that he was going the right way as if someone were telling him where to go. He traveled for days and days through the mountain, eating plants when he found them, and melting the snow and ice to make water to drink. His moral was soaring when he started on his mission, but it began to dwindle, as he was not able to find where the castle of Feng was located.
Just as Jia yuan was about to give up on his mission and turn back for home, a rumbling came from the mountains. Slowly but surely, the rumbling made its way closer to Jia yuan and soon it was in the rock wall right next to him. Jia yuan was scared for his life, as he was standing on the edge of the cliff and the rumbling was causing him to lose his balance so he decided to turn back. Just as he was about leave, he heard something. From the deep rumblings of the mountain, Jia yuan could barely make out the sound.
"Wait!" the mountain said, as Jia yuan was about to leave.
Jia yuan could not believe his ears! "Was the mountain really talking to him?" he thought. He turned around to where the sound emanated, and could not believe his eyes! From the edge of the cliff, it appeared as if the rock was breaking off into the form of a human! Eventually the entire form was broken off, and headed in the direction of Jia yuan.
"My name is Xiao," the figure began, "I am the mountain spirit, and felt pity on your situation. I am here to help you find your love."
"D....do you kn..know where she is?" responded Jia yuan, in complete disbelief of what he was seeing.
"Yes, I know where she is." Xiao began, "She is located in a dragon cave below Feng's castle. If you do make the treacherous climb up there, there is little chance that you will be able to defeat the dragon."
Jia yuan was heartbroken, but knew he had to continue on his mission to save Ai. "Will you show me the way?" Jia yuan asked.
"Yes, let us start now" Xiao started, "We have a long trip ahead of us."
The trip was extremely perilous, and there were multiple instances in which Jia yuan thought he would not make it. He constantly tripped over rocks, was starving, thirsty, and had multiple near death experiences when large boulders fell from above nearly crushing him to death. This continued on for for seven days and seven nights until the two finally reached the outskirts of the castle. Jia yuan was never more relieved in his life. He had finally made it to where his love was being held captive. But the trouble was not over yet. The dragon still had to be defeated, or death would surely be the outcome of the dangerous situation.
"I must leave you here Jia yuan" Xiao began as he was rejoining himself with the mountain wall, "There is a secret tunnel into the cave just up ahead. You should use this if you want to avoid the numerous soldiers. Good luck with the rest of your conquest. I will be watching over you."
"I cannot thank you enough for your kind acts and deeds. I could have never done it without you, and with that I am eternally grateful." Jia yuan stated as the last part of the mountain man melted into the mountain.
And with that, Jia yuan began on the next step of his journey: rescuing Ai from the dragon's cave. It was not a hard task finding the secret entryway, as it was only a light layer of stones that were built up into a wall that covered the entrance. Once Jia yuan had broken this wall down, he began his descent into the long winding tunnel that led to the dragon's lair. On his way to the cave, Jia yuan ran into numerous soldiers, none of which were a challenge to him as he always prevailed with ease with his excellent martial arts skills.
After a couple of hours, Jia yuan finally made it to the enormous cave. On the far side, he saw the gigantic dragon sleeping next to his small and beautiful Ai. It took every ounce of his control to keep from running to her. He was extraordinarily lucky to have the dragon sleeping, and he must not ruin this for himself. Jia yuan knew he would have only one chance at saving her, so he must be extremely careful and perfect in his ways. Not waiting a second longer, Jia yuan began his way over to the opposite side of the cave. Using the skills he learned with his martial arts tactics, he crossed the cave in a matter of moments not making a single noise.
When he reached Ai, she happened to be sleeping along with the dragon. When he tried waking her, something went entirely wrong. Ai let out a terrifying scream thinking that Jia yuan had been a soldier coming to take her. This commotion woke the dragon, which let out an ear-ringing roar. Jia yuan realized he had to act quickly or else lose his life, so he immediately picked up his princess and proceeded to sprint towards the tunnel. Jia yuan had a good head start on the dragon, but that didn't matter, as the dragon was much too quick for him.
Just when all seemed hopeless, the walls began to rumble. The rumbling continuously grew until the ceiling of the cave and the castle above it came crashing down on the dragon. The mountain spirit, Xiao had come to the rescue. The large boulders fell just behind Jia yuan and Ai and they were able to escape safely into the secret tunnel.
Jia yuan and Ai embraced for what seemed like eternity. They were once again reunited, and neither of them could have been more pleased. After a couple moments of catching up, the two left on their journey back to their hometown of Huangshan City. The trip went by very quick as they had each other to spend it with, so before they knew it, they were back in their busy little town. When Jia yuan's parents first saw them, they came running to greet him back home. They butchered a pig for his and her safe return home, and celebrated like they never have before. During the night when the party was coming to an end, they all prayed their thanks to the very generous mountain spirit.
After they were finished, Jia yuan went up to his parents, and asked once again for their permission to marry the wonderful Ai. His mother readily consented, and this time, his father could see that their love was real.
"After going through all you have," his father began, "I can see that your love is true for Ai. You have my permission to marry her."
And so the loving couple got married the very next day, and lived happily ever after, praying everyday their thanks to Xiao, the mountain spirit, for without him, their marriage would not have been possible.

Normally I don't put too much stock in the comments of the football media. But Keyshawn is one of our own and I don't think he'd exaggerate the story just to get attention.
Eight guys out of 22 that could start on another team - that's an embarrassing lack of talent.
I'd say it's not to surprising to many here who've said exactly the same thing for months. Tannenbaum's poor drafts and personnel decisions are really coming back to haunt the Jets.

Tina Brooks
Kenny Burrell and Art Blakey played together infrequently during their careers, so this meeting of jazz minds is a welcome occasion. A rather short set issued here from club dates at the Five Spot Cafe in New York City must have meant there were other nights of recordings that did not make it for public consumption, or that Burrell simply sat in. Then again, this is not Blakey's Jazz Messengers circa 1959, but more the Tina Brooks quartet featuring Blakey, with a rotating piano chair featuring either Bobby Timmons or Roland Hanna. No matter the configuration, this is come-what-may jazz that has no pressurized content, but rather a relaxed atmosphere allowing the music to breathe organically and come alive naturally. This loose but tight feeling comes to the fore right away on Dizzy Gillespie's "Birk's Works," a rather polite version as Burrell and Brooks toss out their discriminating versions of the melody. Incorrectly identified as "Lady Be Good," this is actually an adaptation reworked by Thelonious Monk titled "Hackensack." It's a fast jam kicked off by a signature Blakey solo, where the bandmembers fly by the seat of their pants and good feelings are fostered through the simple and solid tenor work of Brooks. Though not penned by Duke Ellington, the elegance he displayed and Burrell has always revered is quite evident during the ballad "Lover Man." There's a distinct difference between these tracks featuring Timmons and the others where Hanna is involved. The quick "Hallelujah," kicked off by a signature Blakey solo, balances soul and the pianist's more obtuse voicings. "36-23-36" is clearly a fantasy of the ideal female proportions, a short blues groove with Burrell and Hanna tracking the woman from opposite ends. The CD version has some additional material but not enough to comprise a complete session -- maybe someday. Randy Weston's "Beef Stew Blues," Ray Brown's obscure "Swingin'," and the classic Tadd Dameron ballad "If You Could See Me Now" further illuminate how good this group could have been had it turned into a working unit. As the dawn of the 1960s saw new-breed jazz being fomented, Burrell, Blakey, and company proved you could still swing and remain melodic while creating new sonic vistas. This recording is easily recommended to all. ~ Michael G. Nastos

Israeli leader recalls team from cease-fire talks
JERUSALEM - An Israeli official says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered negotiators at cease-fire talks to return home from Cairo following rocket fire by Palestinian militants.
The Israeli move, coupled with the outbreak of violence, threw Egyptian efforts to arrange a long-term cease-fire into jeopardy.
The official said the Egyptian-hosted talks with Hamas militants are based on the "premise" that there will be no violence.
The official said: "They are breaking the cease-fire. They are breaking the premise of the talks." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to journalists.
Egypt has been hosting indirect talks meant to end a monthlong war. The talks face a midnight deadline. Palestinian militants fired two barrages of rockets Tuesday, sparking Israeli airstrikes in Gaza in retaliation.

Singer Katy Perry.
As we get closer to President Barack Obama's second inauguration, celebrity acts continue to sign on to take part in the festivities. The latest boldface names to officially join in the action are Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, Usher, Brad Paisley and the cast of "Glee."
That crop of singers, along with Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marc Anthony and John Legend, Nick Cannon, fun., and Mindless Behavior are expected to make appearances at various events, including the Kids' Inaugural on Saturday, Jan. 19, and the official inaugural balls that take place the evening of Jan. 21.
The Kids' Inaugural is hosted by first lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden and is part of their commitment to military families; the concert honors and celebrates the service and sacrifice of the U.S. military and their families. Inaugural officials have not indicated which performers will be at the Kids' Inaugural, and which will perform at other balls.
For those seeking out public performances, the actual inauguration ceremony on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 21 is the best bet. Beyonce will be there to perform the national anthem; James Taylor is scheduled to sing "Shower the People;" Kelly Clarkson will sing "America the Beautiful."
Stay tuned for more as the Presidential Inaugural Committee promises more announcements in the coming days.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) Separated by only about 45 miles, Oregon and Oregon State couldn't be more different when it comes to football.
The flashy Ducks meet the more understated Beavers on Saturday in the 116th Civil War rivalry game, putting the spotlight on the contrasting programs.
With the help of mega-booster and Nike co-founder Phil Knight, Oregon is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and a myriad of flashy uniform combinations. The No. 5 Ducks have backed up their swagger in recent years by winning, going 44-7 under coach Chip Kelly.
On the other side is No. 16 Oregon State, nicknamed ``Lunch Pail U'' for the team's hard-working blue-collar mentality - which has helped it stage a striking turnaround this season.
Beavers coach Mike Riley and his Oregon counterpart seem as opposite as their teams.
Kelly, a no-nonsense New Englander who runs his team almost like a business, closed his practices and made injuries classified information. Known for his ``Chipisms,'' sayings like ``Every game is our Super Bowl,'' sometimes his approach is regarded as obstinate.
Riley grew up in Corvallis as the son of a former Beavers assistant coach and was a star quarterback at Corvallis High. He lets reporters and boosters into practice, and he openly discusses injuries. If there's a knock on him, it's that he's seen as too soft.
But there is a great deal of mutual respect among the two divergent programs.
``Oh gosh, I always think Mike Riley does a great job, I really do. It's not lipspeak, not coachspeak, it's not because it's the right thing to say. I think he has a good offensive mind,'' Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti said.
Riley often praises Kelly and points to the up-tempo Ducks as altering landscape of college football: ``They're talented and well-coached,'' he said.
For three weeks in October, both Oregon and Oregon State were the highest ranked teams from the same state in the AP Top 25.
The Ducks (10-1, 7-1) appeared to be cruising toward a berth in the BCS championship game until a 17-14 overtime loss to Stanford last weekend at Autzen Stadium.
The loss - which toppled Oregon from the top of the AP rankings - kept the Ducks from clinching the Pac-12's northern division for a spot in the conference title game on Nov. 30. Oregon has won the last three Pac-12 championships.
To get to the league's title game, Oregon will have to beat the Beavers (8-2, 6-2) and hope that No. 15 UCLA (9-2, 6-2) beats No. 11 Stanford (9-2, 7-1) in Los Angeles on Saturday. By virtue of their victory over the Ducks, Stanford holds the head-to-head edge if they finish with the same division record.
The Bruins have already clinched the Pac-12 South. The winner of the Pac-12 title game gets a Rose Bowl berth - unless the winner is tapped for a place in the national championship.
Oregon can still be in the mix for the BCS title game, but the Ducks need USC (7-4, 5-4) to beat top-ranked and undefeated Notre Dame on Saturday. The Trojans, who have lost three of their last four games, will start redshirt freshman Max Wittek because senior quarterback Matt Barkley is nursing a right shoulder injury.
But even if Oregon doesn't play in the conference championship, the Ducks could be an at-large selection for one of the other BCS bowls, a scenario that seems likely if they defeat Oregon State and finish the season with just one loss.
The Beavers, meanwhile, can already count this season a major success.
They were 3-9 after last season, with some fans calling for Riley's dismissal. The team was picked to finish last in the Pac-12 North in the preseason media poll.
Oregon State opened with a 10-7 victory over No. 13 Wisconsin and rolled from there, winning its first six games for the first time since 1907, when the team only played a total of six.
Oregon State was among the first teams in the league to become bowl eligible, and the Oregonian reported that no other Pac-8/Pac-10/Pac-12 team has recovered from as bad a season to play in a bowl the next year.
The Beavers' only losses are at Washington and Stanford. They routed California 62-14 going into the Civil War.
Win or lose on Saturday, Oregon State's regular season isn't over. The Beavers host Nicholls State on Dec. 1 - a game that was postponed because of the threat Hurricane Isaac posed to the school's Thibodeaux, La., campus just before the season opened on Sept. 1.
But before the bowl bids and the league championships and even Nicholls State, there's the Civil War. Even Oregon players, fed the mantra that no game is bigger than the next, can't help feeling a little extra motivation.
``For fans it's a rivalry game, for us it's another Super Bowl Saturday,'' Ducks defensive lineman Michael Clay said. ``But you don't want them to have bragging rights the rest of the year so we're going to go out and try to get a W.''

TORONTO, Ontario, June 9, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A twelve-year-old in Ontario cannot go on a school field trip without parental permission, or drink alcohol without a parent present. They won't be able to drive, buy cigarettes, or vote for years. But they can get an abortion all on their own, without their parents ever knowing.And yet, not just the Genocide Awareness Project posters, but even the Watch Me Grow brochure, that merely shows what an unborn baby looks like at certain stages of gestation, is deemed "inappropriate" for school children. Pro-aborts and their accomplices in the school bureaucracy push abortion to middle-schoolers under the guise of "choice", and yet they do everything in their power to prevent young people from finding out what exactly is being chosen.
Private abortion facilities across Ontario advertise with pride that they will perform abortions on girls under 16 without informing their parents.
"I'm only 14 can I still have an abortion at your clinic?" their FAQ asks. "Yes, we do not discriminate by age and we do NOT require consent for our clients who are under the age of 18."
"Furthermore, we do not tell your parents any information even if they call our facility inquiring about your whereabouts."
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and you have done everything to stand. (Ephesians 6:13)

What's Worse - Graphic Pictures Or Abortions For Middle-Schoolers Without Parental Consent?
8 comments:

I would submit that it is extremely rare for a twelve year old to get pregnant and subsequently to seek out abortion services on their own.
What do the numbers say about this? How many twelve year olds do we have going incognito to abortion clinics without their parents consent?
Regardless, unless it's your own daughter we're talking about, what business do you have telling what can or cannot go in or come out of some other woman's or girl's body?
And if it is the case that should your daughter get pregnant and subsequently wish to get an abortion still, after your best efforts at persuading her otherwise, hypothetically, what would you do? Would you force her to keep the baby? Would try to defer the question to government and have laws enacted against abortion?

>of some other woman's or girl's body?
You are forgetting that the baby in the womb too has a body. Therefore - what business does anyone (including the mother) have destroying that body for his or her own convenience?
Once there is a beating heart it's not up to any of us to stop it. That's why I believe we should do our best to convince every woman (including our own family members of course) to choose life. If this is my cross to bear - than I'd rather be a grandfather of a baby than allow something like this to be done to my grandchild.
As for the rest - it's not really the statistics that matters. It's the fact that it is possible - and therefore - could happen at any time, that's what I find the most disturbing.
And another thing - the age of 12 is the age by which the children have already been exposed to so called "sex ed". That's when the schools bring in foul-mouthed "experts" from "planned parenthood" which tell them that having an abortion is a "five minute procedure" after which "you're fine".
So it's about time the children see what abortion is really like, see the baby in the womb and what's left of him or her after a woman exercises her "choice". Too bad that the schools that are officially Catholic are so hostile to the presentations.

So then you are for the forcing of women, either by law or by making it harder for them to seek out abortion services, to give birth against their own will?
And still, you haven't answered my question about, if it were your own daughter that you could not persuade, despite your best efforts, to carry the child to term, would you force her?
Otherwise, on your point about the child's body, I would understand if you were the father and objected to your own child being aborted. But why is it necessary for you to impose your own standards onto others and their individual circumstance?
- 16/6/11 13:32
- Leonard said...
Because murder should not be allowed in ANY circumstances.
Let me clarify that we're not talking about a life-threatening situation, when doctors make their best efforts to save both lives. (Considering that even a 20-week baby can now be salvaged, this is hardly an argument nowadays.) We're talking about abortions on demand, when a woman (or, most often - her family members and peers) believe that letting the child live is too much of an inconvenience - so they "choose" to put him to death.
That shouldn't be allowed to happen. The baby's life should be protected by law from the moment of conception. And if the woman (or her family members) don't want the child - there are plenty of other families that do.
You talk about "forcing of women to give birth against their own will" - as if those babies were materializing out of thin air. We know that's not so. And, as grown-ups, we have to be held responsible for our own actions. Including those arising from beliefs in faulty theories such as "safe" sex. Mistakes and even tragedies don't justify putting a baby to death.
Our entire system of human rights arbitration is based on the notion that some people have to endure the hardship to accommodate others. This is one of the few cases when such approach is justified, because human lives are at stake. Let the baby live and if you don't want the baby - there are other families that do.
Finally, to answer your question - yes; if, God forbid, my own daughter wants an abortion so bad - I'll do my best to prevent her from doing that, even if it means blocking the door or the driveway. I won't let her make that tragic mistake and allowing her child (and my grandchild) to be put to death without a fight.
And obviously, if the parents are serious about preventing such a situation from even becoming a possibility, they better become more involved with their children, first and foremost - pulling them out of the public schools.

Did God himself not kill all of the Egyptian first born, whom were innocent and defenseless, when delivering Moses and the Israelites to the promise land?
His 10th plague was the most horrible of all!
How many children were aborted that faithfull night, assuming the story is true, when God sent an Angel of Death to all of the doors in Egypt not painted red?
Do not presume to take the moral high ground and maintain it without looking like a hypocrite!
When you say "murder should not be allowed in ANY circumstances.", you're essential going against not only, I would assume God's will, since hundreds of thousands of children are aborted on a daily basis in God's world, but also against the natural order of our existence.
At very least, I would say you have the guts to at least admit the fact that you'd be willing to force someone to carry a child to term against their will, including your own daughter.
But let it be known that there will always be people like myself ready to defend choice against hypocrisy, under any and all circumstances.
- 16/6/11 23:54
- Leonard said...
You are not God. And neither is me or anyone else for that matter. If you believe that the story of what God did to the Egyptians (taken out of context) somehow justifies slaughtering innocent preborn babies out of convenience - you're greatly mistaken, to say the least.
- 17/6/11 00:34
- Gabriel Dzsurdzsa said...
And neither are you, God, yet you suggest forcing women to carry a child to term.
As far as I'm aware, no man or woman has the authority to override free will.
It's also against the law to do so!
And damn right it's a woman's business what goes in and comes out of her body, what incubates in her womb. After all, without her the child cannot be conceived.
However, on the whole 10th plague example, I got you to say that slaughtering innocent children is wrong.
Very good!
It was wrong for God to do so wasn't it? I think it was.
Now unfortunately, there are idiot women that get abortions on a whim and do not realise the consequences of their actions. Such are the realities of our existence.
And there are wholesale abortions being performed as we speak, around the globe, where the foetuses are healthy and their mothers with a good enough financial backing to take care of them.
Yet they die. Why is that?
Because, those of us more pragmatic realise that the right of a woman to decide whether to conceive or not to conceive supersedes the right of the child to be conceived.
The distinction is simple then: You believe the reverse.
There is one difference however:
We do not try to impose our standards, those of us who believe in the right to choose, on you.
We do not try to enact laws that prevent your wives from carrying a child to term. We don't have double standards and we reject hypocrisy.
We say it's none of our business, regardless whether the child is born with a disability or is otherwise healthy.
It's the mother's choice, not yours.
My whole point has been that people like you carry double standards and quite often are hypocritical. You say one thing, like when you said that murder should not be allowed under ANY circumstance, you emphasized any, and then you defended the killing of perhaps tens of thousands of children by someone whom you presumably believe to be the supreme authority on such moral questions, God.
That's clearly a double standard.
On the hypocrisy point, you people try to look so humble and righteous on the question of abortion, but when it comes to things like homosexuality and trans-gendered rights its vitriol all day, all the time.
There's about a snowball's chance in hell that abortion will ever again be made illegal completely. In the U.S. it was illegal for quite some time, yet abortions were still performed regardless.
So just give up!
Stop trying to ram your moral attitudes and dated standards down society's throat.

Are you sure? Actually, that's exactly what the law does - puts restrictions on free will, so that one's free will doesn't infringe on other people's rights.
If you, acting out of free will, "choose" to take possession of someone else's property - the law is there to say no. Ditto if your free will means taking away someone else's life. No matter how much of an inconvenience that person is to you - the law says no to that kind of free will.
The only shameful exemption is the legal vacuum concerning the first 9 months of human existence - from conception and until birth; which came to being when the court struk down the old abortion law and the Parliament of the time failed to pass a new one. But again, this is not the rule, but an exemption, an anomaly that must be fixed. Human life should be fully protected from conception to natural death.
>Because, those of us more pragmatic
>realise that the right of a woman to decide ...
>supersedes the right of the child to be conceived.
Actually we're talking about the right of the child to be BORN. By the time most abortions take place, the child not only has a beating heart, but he has all his organs already formed; the only difference between him and a newborn - is the size. You claim that those babies can be destroyed because of the mother's "free will" (which is often not so free) - we disagree.
Your arguments about double standards and hypocrisy make no sense. We're talking about humans, not deities. Thus - there's only one standard on which we insist.
You claim that you do not try to impose your standards - you sure do - through the schools that make pro-abortion "sex ed" curriculum mandatory for all, yet a brochure on fetal development like this one is never allowed. The pro-abortion crowd likes to talk about "choice" but they go hysterical when we try to show what exactly is being chosen.
You claim that abortions were taking place even when they were illegal - there are many things that are illegal, yet people do them anyway. That's not the reason to legalize them. You claim that our cause is lost and that we should give up. I doubt even you believe these words. The tide is turning and it's turning in favor of the pro-life cause. The evidence is clear. In fact, our success is a mathematical certainty.

'Intimidating' UConn next up for No. 12 seed BYU
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) BYU has come up with two of the biggest upsets in the NCAA women's tournament to get to the school's first Sweet 16 since 2002.
The 12th-seeded Cougars are going to need a monumental effort to pull off a third and beat top-ranked UConn in the regional semifinals on Saturday.
No one has played UConn (36-0) within single digits during the Huskies' 42-game win streak, which includes victories over Prairie View A&M and Saint Joseph's by a combined 82 points in the first two rounds of the tournament. Their average margin of victory this season is 36 points.
"It's very intimidating, and they've been here every year, so they're not nervous or excited probably as much as we are," BYU coach Jeff Judkins said Friday. "Anybody on any given night – a team can be off, foul trouble, injury, some team can be really on, so you just don't know."
The Cougars (28-6) beat No. 5 seed North Carolina State and No. 4 Nebraska to become only the third No. 12 to reach the regional semifinals. The other two 12s were beaten soundly – Kansas, 93-63 by Notre Dame last year, and San Francisco, 72-44 by UConn in 1996.
The Huskies haven't played a game decided by fewer than 11 points since they lost 61-59 to Notre Dame in last year's Big East championship game. They haven't lost since.
Huskies center Stefanie Dolson said she's not surprised she and her teammates have been so dominant, largely because coach Geno Auriemma finds ways to challenge them every day. No extra motivation is needed this time of year, she said.
"It's the tournament, and every team is going to play their best, and you know that you lose, you go home," Dolson said. "We don't look at what they're ranked or what their season was like. We just go out there and play as hard as we can and focus on our game and not the team we're playing."
Judkins said the Cougars will have to play their best game to win. "And they can play their worst game. That's what we're hoping for," he said.
Five things to know about the BYU-UConn game:
LONG WAY TO GO: Impressive as UConn's 42-gamer is, the Huskies have a long way to go to match their previous two longest streaks. They won an NCAA record 90 straight from 2009-10 and 70 in a row from 2001-03.
IMPOSING COUGAR: Jennifer Hamson, BYU's 6-foot-7 center, is averaging a nation-leading 4.2 blocks a game. She's blocked as many as nine in a game.
"She's extremely tall and is going to change a lot of shots and probably block a lot of shots," the 6-4 Dolson said. "We have to make sure we keep attacking her and, for me, setting a lot of ball screens and bring her out of the paint so our guards can drive it in there."
STOP EATON, STOP BYU?: Lexi Eaton is averaging 17.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists for the Cougars. Eaton followed her 25-point game against North Carolina State in the first round with 15 points in Monday's upset of Nebraska.
"No. 21 is kind of the engine that makes them go," UConn's Bria Hartley said.
A PEARL FROM THURL: BYU's Morgan Bailey is a niece of Thurl Bailey, one of the stars of the 1983 North Carolina State team that upset top-seeded Houston in the NCAA men's championship game. Thurl has texted Morgan and her teammates to share the story of the `83 Wolfpack.
Like that team, BYU is hot at the right time, having won 12 of its last 13.
"I think we've been underrated the whole season, so it's been really nice to come to such an incredible tournament and be able to be playing our best basketball," guard Kim Beeston said. "I really do think we've peaked at the perfect time."
NO HOME TEAM: BYU's 80-76 win over Nebraska in Los Angeles ended the possibility of there being a true home team in Lincoln. Auriemma said there is undue pressure on teams that are put in a position to have to win in the first and second round so they can play at home in regionals. Auriemma has long said he prefers neutral courts for all tournament games.
"Yeah, it's a shame. I feel for them," he said of Nebraska. "But BYU deserves to be here, and if they didn't deserve to be here, they wouldn't be here. For every disappointment, there's a group of people celebrating."

A fast & furious look at our January 2nd-13th remodel in our Redwood City store. Yes, we have bravely brought our retail standards up from 1980 to 1997 or so, with help from Trek Bicycles Retail Services Division. There are some on our staff who were disappointed that I wasn't more actively involved in the design and final layout, but too much input from me would have resulted in an extrapolation of what we already had. We needed a new look, which is beyond my expertise. I know bikes, the Retail Services guys know what a great store looks like. So I pretty much let Tim, James & Brian have a free hand in most things, including picking flooring, fixtures and walls. My primary contribution was an insistence that we have a workable mechanic area downstairs, so we could have more expertise writing up repairs and running down unusual parts (and, hopefully, fewer people calling to me for help). So far, so good!
If you're on our email list you'll get something early next week promoting our grand reopening (never mind that we were never actually closed during the remodel, which was quite remarkable). I'm looking at this as the Bay Area's newest bike shop is 32 years old!
We've still got more to do, and a now modern-looking facility that's worthy of better upkeep (which means more sweeping & wiping & keeping things in their place). And I'm still trying to figure out where everything is, but remarkably, the most-significant thing that got lost in the transition was a paper shredder. Might have ended up in the massive pile of old electronic stuff we've collected over the past 24 years at this location.
Stop by and check out the place. Same friendly and helpful people as before, but a much nicer presentation. –Mike–

SMA-NA Monkey Love???
My collegue and friend, Rand Fishkin (aka randfish) of SEOMoz.org posted a note encouraging people to join the Search Marketing Association of North America (SMA-NA), but apparently drew the ire of the, uhhhh... "Sex with Monkeys Association - No Apes (SMA-NA) in the process.
I can assure you that I take speciesism seriously and will get to the bottom of this barrel of monkeys ASAP. Further, we have notified the SPCA and will carefully monitor the effects of search engine professionals on simian sexuality from here on ;)
Note Passed on to me from Rand Follows:
Dear Mr. Rand,
I've found your blog to consistently be a worthwhile tool, and as someone who's continually struggling in the rankings, I appreciate your advice and insight. As a longtime fan of your work, you can imagine my joy at seeing the title of your post today - "Join the SMA-NA".
However, upon further reading, I was met with rather crushing disappointment.
As you may likely know, I am both the founder and reigning king of the "Sex with Monkeys Association - No Apes", and our flagship chapter, located in Clearwater, Florida, is already 16 members strong, having grown steadily since our inception in April, 2003.
Sadly, we have no other chapters. But 16 members, paired with a dozen little Capuchins - well, I don't need to tell you that there are times when I think that the human to monkey ratio is far too low...
Naturally, we've had our share of critics, of staunchy right-wing bigots who want to prevent us from making love to monkeys. They realize neither the fine, nuanced joy of making love to a Simian, nor the inherent beauty that these animals posess.
I especially like their little fuzzy genetalia.
But we struggle against persecution, as radical-thinking, brave progressives must. We are martyrs. We've come to accept it. We continue with our message and our mission. Naturally, the field of SEO is important to us for this exact reason - we must get our message out, must find others who share our beliefs and who are willing to join in our crusade.
I've worked incredibly hard to get SMA-NA ranking well on Google, Yahoo!, and MSN search. So you can imagine my reaction when I see you so blantantly toss a link to our homophonic nemesis, our arch-doppelganger, the Search Marketing Association of North America. And offer them business to boot!
We personally offer services that are every bit worthwhile as the other (or as I call them, the fraudulent) SMA-NA, but do we get any free listings? Any huge incentive for visitors of your site to later head to ours?
Apparently not.
Rot in hell, Mr. Rand, for not being able to appreciate the sweetness that is monkey love. Then again, if you lack something like that in your life, you are perhaps already in hell...

King, The REAL SMA-NA

Remote control support
Supported in v4l-dvb as of 18 August 2007. The 70001 version has an IR sensor, and the 70009 version is listed by Wikipedia as having one. It works with Hauppauge's 45-button remote control and will handle signals from similar remote controls.
If you have problems with a flood of "unknown key" messages in the kernel log, you'll also need this patch (it is not cleanly applicable to recent trees, but it is an easy one-liner to do by hand).

With Pele looking on, revived New York Cosmos, sign jersey sponsorship with Emirates Airline
NEW YORK – With Pele looking on, the revived New York Cosmos signed a jersey sponsorship contract with Emirates Airline as the team prepares to play in the second-tier North American Soccer League this summer.
The 72-year-old Brazilian great, the team's honorary president, attended a news conference in Manhattan.
Featuring stars such as Pele, Frank Beckenbauer and Giorgio Chinaglia, the Cosmos played in the old NASL from 1971-84 and folded in 1985.

Scott H, Georgia
- 12/6/2012
About Me
I am Scott H. and I was born and raised in North Georgia. I am one of a few Dads on the Walt Disney World Moms Panel and I am excited to possibly bring a different perspective from a dad, teacher, and administrator point of view! I am a middle school Assistant Principal and previously taught middle school math for 10 years. While teaching, I also coached track for 10 years and football for 6 years.
About My Family
I have been married for 10 years and have a 3 year old son. My wife and I have been Disney Vacation Club members since 2003 and in that time have visited the Walt Disney World Resort over 25 times and have cruised on Disney Cruise Line 6 times. I love getting to be a big kid when we enter the parks! Being able to let go, have fun, and be a kid regardless of age are some of the greatest things that can be taken from a Disney Vacation. The experiences and memories that I have been able to take from our Disney Vacations have been priceless. Being able to watch our son's reaction to the Disney Wonder horn and getting to watch him ride Test Track and Soarin' for the first time are memories I want to help others experience.
About My Disney Experience
I love showing others why my family is so crazy about Disney. It is also fun for me to be able to experience Disney Vacations with others by helping them with the planning process. I do my best to make their vacation the best it can be by customizing it to the best of my ability. I love learning new things about Disney; being asked a question that I am unsure of motivates me to go learn about that topic and then some! I look forward to sharing what I have learned and experienced to those seeking advice through the Walt Disney World Moms Panel.

This purchase will be delivered to you via email. You will receive an email that will contain a link to a project folder located on Box.com. Upon completion of your purchase, you will receive two emails, (these emails will be sent to the email address associated with your purchase).
1st email is an Order Confirmation Notice. This is just a proof of purchase. You want to keep this for your records. You may need your invoice # in the future. We suggest you make a folder in your email account for Paper Phenomenon purchases. A folder exclusively for Paper Phenomenon purchases will allow you to keep all your Paper Phenomenon purchases in one place.

What is Box.com
Box, is a cloud content management (storage) and file sharing service. Box.com keeps all your files in one place which allows you access anywhere from any device. When your files are stored in Box you have a quick, easy and secure way to share/access files with others as well.
Very Important
Box.com is a storage site. It facilitates the sharing of files. This is how you access the files you purchase from Paper Phenomenon. Box.com is not designed to view videos like you would on YouTube. You must download the files to your computer. When you download the files to your computer you will enjoy uninterrupted viewing time. My recommendation is to download each file one at a time to avoid the corruption of files. Most tend to compare Box.com to YouTube. The is not the case. Box.com is a file sharing service. YouTube is video viewing service, like your television at home.
Please understand that if you choose to watch the videos directly from Box.com you will encounter buffering continuously. This will be very frustrating if you are trying to work on a project.
Do I have to create an account with Box.com?
No, if you want to just download the file to your computer you do not have to. If you want to keep your files on the Cloud (the cloud will allow you access from any device), you will need to register with Box.com—it's free. If you choose to have a paid account that is up to you. You don't need to have a paid account with box to access files from Paper Phenomenon.

Judge delays arraignment in Colo. theater shooting
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — The man accused of the Colorado theater shooting won't have to enter a plea until March.
A judge today granted a defense motion to delay the arraignment of James Holmes until March 12. The decision came a day after he ruled that Holmes should stand trial in the shooting.
Defense lawyers didn't give a reason for the delay.
One possible reason could be to seek a mental health evaluation by a doctor of their choosing. His lawyers have said Holmes is mentally ill, raising the possibility of an insanity defense.
If Holmes had entered an insanity plea Friday, an evaluation would be done by state doctors.

Observing Student Communication
|Introduction | Sample Play | Possible Moves | Possible Options | Student Work | Questions and Answers | Observe a Classroom | Classroom Practice | Your Journal
Let's begin our investigation by looking at a problem that is embedded in a game called Fraction Tracks, which will provide background for understanding the rest of this section. As you observe the game, think about how you might develop strategies to complete it and how you would communicate your thinking to another person.
The Fraction Tracks game can be played either cooperatively or competitively by two or more players. The game begins with a marker at 0 on each track. The object of the game is to get all the markers to 1. Players draw cards, on which appear all fractions greater than 0 and less than 1 with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10, and they move one or more of their markers the total distance indicated on the card. Each player may move along different tracks in the same turn as long as the moves add up to the exact amount on the card. Since players may not "run over" 1 -- they must reach 1 by an exact amount -- the fraction a player draws might be too large, and that player might not be able to move without going over. If so, that player loses his or her turn. It can take several turns for a player to reach 1, depending on the cards drawn.
The goal of the game is to encourage mathematical discourse and to enhance the players' understanding of fractions.
We begin the game already in progress. Although Fraction Tracks is typically played with two people, for purposes of introducing you to the thinking and communication involved in the game, we would like you to observe one round of play and its possible outcomes. Note that this is not a display of the complete game. If you would like to play Fraction Tracks in its entirety, go to the NCTM Web site.

I had seen some cute kits in stores (which is great!), and thought I could make some of my own. Some of the kits are based on free tutorials, others came from patterns that I purchased from crafty moms like myself.
I made a total of six kits. Each was tucked into a zippered bag I had saved from when we purchased curtains last year for our former house. (I knew they'd come in handy!) Most of them had a small pocket, and I made labels to slip inside.
The first kit is based on an embroidery pattern I purchased from Sarah Jane.
I cut out fabric rectangles, just the size for the designs, and included all the floss colors Sis will need. We just need to iron-transfer some designs, and she'll be off and running.
For several of these projects, Sis needed some of her own fabric. I knew she'd love Riley Blake's Fly a Kite designs, and looked on Etsy for a good deal on a fat quarter pack. I found Kerri at Sew Deerly Loved, and she was awesome. I purchased the fabric, and then realized I'd need to get it quicker than anticipated. She sped up her delivery, and the fabric arrived two days later. I was so impressed with her kindness.
Two kits are based on Bit of Whimsy PDF sewing patterns. Sarah happened to be having a sale when I needed it, and I purchased two patterns. The Beth doll has glasses and braids...perfect!
I printed off the pattern, and made a 6" x 9" matching envelope to hold everything with a photo laminated to the front. I love that clear laminating plastic!
Inside the kit I included flesh colored fabric, thread, and the items needed for hair. I thought Sis would like choosing from her new little fabric stash to dress her doll.
Next kit includes items to make a sleeping bag for Sister's American Girls doll. Melissa @ Polka Dot Chair created a great tutorial for Riley Blake's Design Blog. I made a printable version and included all the notions in the package.
Final kit, I wanted something Sis could do completely on her own, unsupervised. I saw this darling picture tutorial on Pinterest to make a clothespin doll. I simply printed it on cardstock, laminated it, and then included all the goodies Sis will need. This included craft paint, glue, and pre-cut circles of fabric. I'd purchased the old fashioned clothespins a while pack from Etsy (yet another project I didn't get to!)
I hope that inspired you to come up with a kit for a special girl in your life. I know Sis and I are going to have a lot of fun together working on these!
Sharing with Creation Corner, Freckled Laundry, and Tatertots and Jello.

Public fumes as Fire Commission refuses to discuss Reid's contract
Attempts by the public to ask Fire Commission members questions about their recent decision not to renew the contract of Deputy Fire Chief Art Reid were doused Thursday night.
The commission, with virtually no public discussion, last month voted 5-2 not to renew Reid's contract, which expires in December. The panel, which similarly had little discussion of Reid's contract at earlier meetings, took the vote after Commissioner William Fitzpatrick said only that he wanted to give qualified personnel the opportunity to move up through the Fire Department ranks.
As the commission began to adjourn what had been a brief Thursday meeting, Lisa Winkel, a member of the Community Emergency Response Team, tried to get the board to allow her to ask a question. "I want to say something before you adjourn," Winkel said. "I want to know why Deputy Chief Reid is losing his job?"
But Chairman Craig van Steenbergen said there was no item on the agenda for public comment and gaveled the meeting adjourned.
That didn't deter Winkel, who with some others in the audience, continued to press the issue. "So you're not going to answer my question?" she said.
"I have no answer," van Steenbergen said, and Commissioner Dorothea Brennan said, "Commissioners don't answer questions at a meeting."
Van Steenbergen said the public is allowed to attend its meetings, and the minutes are posted on the town's website. "Under the FOI, that's what is required," he said.
Some municipal commission and boards, like land-use panels, are required by state statute to hold public hearings on certain applications, but boards like the Fire Commission do not have to allow public comment. Some town boards, however, do anyway. The Parks and Recreation Commission, for example, sets aside a time for public comment on any item not on the agenda and allows the public to address any agenda item as it comes up for discussion.
Another resident, Blaine Street resident Ellen Gilmore, asked how the matter could be added to the agenda of a future Fire Commission meeting.
"This isn't the forum for that," Commissioner Patrick McCabe said. "You can reach out to any of the individuals. It's not a public participatory board."
Since the commission's vote, a petition posted online to demand an explanation from First Selectman Michael Tetreau.
As the commissioners filed out of the meeting, Reid supporter Rocky Sullivan voiced what some believe is the reason for not renewing Reid's contract: "It's retaliation."
Two years ago, Fire Chief Richard Felner was accused of slapping one of his assistant chiefs, George Gomola. When Gomola filed a formal complaint with Reid, the deputy chief informed the first selectman's office and the Human Resources Department, as he was required to do. Felner has made no public comments on Reid's contract.

First I want to apologize for being a jerk.
Second, I'd like to say wise up, jerks! Discard the system and stop participating in the electoral system. Stop voting. It's a waste of time. Design the solution.

Harry Styles is…Mr. Napkin Head [PHOTO]
Harry Styles of One Direction is way too adorbs and utterly too presh to have his beautiful face covered up by a napkin and sunglasses. But in a new photo, Styles does his best Mr. Napkin Head. Wait, who?
This Mr. Napkin Head idea is by no means original. Hazza actually borrowed it from fellow Brit, handsome actor Jude Law, who performed a silly Mr. Napkin Head "skit" in his rom com 'The Holiday,' co-starring Cameron Diaz.
While perhaps his ex Taylor Swift might not mind seeing Hazza's face covered and obscured by a napkin, we certainly prefer looking at him uncovered. We think most Directioners share that sentiment.
In case you've not seen 'The Holiday,' well, enjoy the Mr. Napkin Head scene that we have posted below. Maybe Hazza and Law can team up and do an 'SNL' skit based entirely on the exploits of Mr. Napkin Head together. Mr. Napkin Head and Son. Okay, we're way over-thinking this...
Nevertheless, the film scene such offers a cute and heartwarming two minutes. So stop gawking at a hidden Harry and watch the real Mr. Napkin Head.
Watch Jude Law as Mr. Napkin Head
