Champaign County Judge Nick A. Selvaggio sentenced Ely Serna to 23.5 years in prison. He shot Logan Cole, who suffered serious injuries.
Logan Cole set to start freshman year at Cedarville University
Vinny Carozza-Breaking News Staff
CEDARVILLE —
Just 18 months after being shot in his back and chest at West Liberty Salem High School, Logan Cole is now set to attend Cedarville University, after a miraculous recovery.
RELATED: See more trending stories on WHIO.com
Logan moved into his dormitory Friday morning and was surrounded by family to help with his transition.
Hundreds of shotgun pellets still reside in Cole's back and chest and the lead level in blood reads 29, seven times the normal range.
The pellets are leaking into his blood stream but there are not many options for removing them safely, according to Cole.
"Taking the pellets out wouldn't be worth it for the damage it would cause," Cole said. "It gets really complicated because some are located around my spine and you don't know which pellets are contaminating the most. They don't know a way to fix it."
"The scary thing is that most of the time when people have lead exposure, they remove the exposure, but with Logan they can't do anything," said his mother, Julie Cole, a 2001 Cedarville University alumna.
Kidney problems, high blood pressure, potential neurological and reproductive problems are the risks.
"They would rather deal with those issues that he may have at some point than try to get the pellets out," Julie Cole said.
Cole credits his christian faith with being able to handle the situation and respond with love and kindness.
Additionally, Cole is staying focused on typical freshman decisions even though his future health may be in question. He is considering history and computer science as his majors but also has given thought to information technology. Cole expressed interest in the latter because of his desire to help his family business ColePak Inc., which makes plastic packing materials for shipping needs.
Cole's mother and father went to Cedarville and his sister Leah is currently a student as well.
Located in southwest Ohio, Cedarville University was founded in 1887 and is an accredited, Baptist institution with an enrollment of 3,963 undergraduate, graduate and online students in more than 150 areas of study. For more information about the university, visit www.cedarville.edu.

GEMMA Collins slipped into an eye-catching swimsuit on holiday with boyfriend James Argent.
Gemma Collins proudly flaunted her weight loss during a holiday in Tenerife with boyfriend James Argent.
Slipping into an eye-catching swimsuit, the 38 year old looked body confident as she strolled along in the sun.
Following her 2.5 stone weight loss after her stint on Dancing On Ice, the The Only Way Is Essex star flaunted her slimmed-down frame in the revealing swimsuit.
And showing that her relationship with boyfriend Arg, 31, is firmly back on track, Gemma thanked him for their trip in an adorable post.
"please take me to the Kim k suite in Dubai #comeonbabes .... I am the GC SWIMSUIT @simplybeach."


To the charming goddess of compassion.
Can't make diddle without the shower of compassion.
of their deeds that feeds on the needs of the innocent.
And the flood 's about to come"
Or they will stone you with rocks of I and mine.
Can' t make diddle without the shower of compassion.
As the common folk carry idle gossip and fabricate the truth into nice warm blankets of ignorance that keep their bubbles warm and protected.
Franticly the mind burns for an exit from those bubbles of self-preservation to live in the beauty of Sacrifice.
Worship stands as the apex of the drama, the central pivot of love that gives reason to all the actors and their actions as they fall short of their target, bowing their heads in humility to the cause of all causes.
Flashing eyes swoon the swoonable, then the sensibilities are lost as the sages cast their minds through reality like referees of the great match that plays for the grace of the charming goddess of compassion.
Warfare of sound and the fixed warriors draw their weapons of destiny and cast the dice in the game of chance. The victor's hopes are set to receive the quill of history and the power of the story that can make or mar.
Still the chalice of truth is held in the hand of the child that plays as a thief, liar and dacoit. And all efforts are again lost to the power of love, in the control of beauty and charm.
Who was lost has now been found.
And so plays the lovers beneath the moon.
to be humbled by the flow.
An erupting heart seeks to embrace reality.
Or if it is real at all.
That always eludes the touch.
As destiny Devi reveals her form.
Because all that can be vanquished is your pride.
So the tree can grow more hands to worship the Sun.
the sweetness when eyes meet.
Dances , shinning in fair maidens feet.
sharing the space to wonder and speak.
in anticipation of the outcome.
Of how time shows its feast.
pulled on the strings of the Mystery man.
How can we play for a thankyou.
crying that the sky's fallin in.
the charming goddess of compassion.
And a play of Moon lord and Sunson shine in the orbit stars.
defending herself from the jackels that snap at her beauty.
Nothing is set in these plays in the Causal ocean.
as the golden crack shines giving light to the darkness below.
Floating like flowers on the Everiver.
Of the charming goddess of compassion.

An Ugly-Duckling Tale to Tell Your Daughters
06/13/2011 12:20 pm ET Updated Aug 13, 2011
Most of us are highly sensitive about how we look, especially when compared to other women. And it starts early, when some girls swan out while others take an especially long time emerging from their ugly-duckling phase.
We need to remind ourselves, and our daughters and granddaughters, that there is more to us than our facades, which by the way can be gussied up pretty well nowadays.
A case in point is my own ugly phase, and how it all turned out. It reads funny now, but I really felt the pain. Perhaps it will ease someone else's:
I think back to my least favorite first day in class, back in the 1950s when I was beginning seventh grade at Nautilus Junior High School in Miami Beach. Kids called it "Nauseous" because of the color of the facade and the lousy lunches.
My mother had taken me to a hair stylist who had chopped off my copper-colored hair. My face had recently erupted into a repository of pent up hormonal confusion. Now, set among the zits and freckles, one eye seemed bigger than the other, or was I imagining it? My eyebrows were almost as thick as Frieda Kahlo's. Of course I didn't know of her then. I thought I was the only one cursed with a unibrow.
A misjudged dive that summer into a day-camp pool left my nose with a vague bump, and my mother kept reminding me to push it, an inexplicable exercise in futility that left me looking like I was perpetually picking my nose. My teeth were newly braced in metal, and I had to be diligent to keep greens from clinging like vines on a chain fence.
My full lips were ahead of their time. "Don't pout," my mom would say, looking up from I Love Lucy. "Pull in your bottom lip." A lot to take in for a 12-year old: biting her lip against her sharp braces while pushing the new bump on her nose with bitten fingernails. How I had time to bite my nails while I was pushing my nose, I have no idea.
My body had become no better than my head. I was thin ("skinny" back then), except for my newly hairy legs. Nobody I knew shaved their legs at that age, let alone waxed them. My chest was about the only thing that had stayed the same as ever, unfortunately. My posture was schlumpy. (Why should I stand straight? I felt as bad as I looked.)
My stylish Aunt Hilda, who was fashion-forward even in Manhattan, sent down the kind of clothes from Henri Bendel that no one in my crowd had ever seen; it would be years before my friends would catch up to sack dresses. The clothing needed to be dry cleaned, but that didn't stop my grandma from scrubbing it on a washboard and then hanging it on a rusty wire hanger.
Never mind "sweet" and "funny" and "smart." Those phone compliments from my Aunt Hilda rolled right off me as I concentrated on my terrible façade. I did like my thin wrists, and my thighs weren't awful, but nobody would see them except at gym, in my baggy gym suit.
So there I was, off to the unforgiving world of junior high: skinny, uni-browed, braced, pimply, flat-chested, pushing my nose and sucking in my bottom lip, wearing an un-ironed sack that didn't even fit like a sack, with rust stains on the shoulders.
My one hope was that maybe the friends I hadn't seen over the summer had fared as badly as I had, and that I'd sit next to a nerdy boy from North Beach Elementary who would remember my better years. No such luck.
In homeroom I sat next to Elaine, who had just moved to Miami Beach from the Midwest. Her eyes seemed as big and blue-green as the Atlantic a few blocks east. Her thick wavy hair was the color of the beach, her smooth skin was lightly tanned, and she had a burgeoning bosom beneath a crisp, white blouse. This glowing girl smiled, and of course her teeth were perfect.
If you had asked me then if I could imagine that Elaine would one day marry the major mogul of Las Vegas I wouldn't have been at all surprised. (And, of course, she did marry Steve Wynn -- and got one of the largest divorce settlements in American history.)
But if you had predicted that someday I would date the president of a movie company, or a sports commissioner, I would have been devastated by the taunt. Or, closer to home, if anyone suggested that scrawny, pouty me would date -- even marry -- our high school's "Mr. Wonderful" (and two more just as "wonderful" men, late in life, but that's a whole other story), I would have shyly looked at my big feet to hide the tears. But yes, just like in a fairy tale, those very things happened!
I may not have become a swan, but with time and Clearasil, makeup and tweezers and a good haircut, clothes that fit and the miracles of science, the ugly faded. And I guess that the special things I dismissed about me mattered after all.
I just wish I could have believed all that, long ago on the first day of school at Nauseous Junior High. And with this story, I hope that girls who feel they are going through their ugly phase can be reminded there is so much more to life than looks -- "sweet," "funny," and "smart" included.
And the older you get, the more that becomes true.

Evaluating habitat restoration plans with a novel fish population model
Stream habitat restoration projects are popular, but can be expensive and difficult to evaluate. We describe inSALMO, an individual-based model designed to predict habitat effects on freshwater life stages (spawning through juvenile out-migration) of salmon. We applied inSALMO to Clear Creek, California, simulating the production of total and large (>5 cm FL) Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha out-migrants at a degraded and a restored site. The calibrated model reproduced observed redd locations and out-migrant timing and size. In simulations, the restored site had a much higher production of fry that established and grew before out-migration; it provided higher survival and positive growth due to moderate velocities, shallow depths, and cover for feeding and hiding. The restored site did not producemore total out-migrants because at both sites spawning gravel was sufficient and the vast majority of fry moved downstream soon after emergence. Simulations indicated that at both sites increasing food and cover availability could further increase production of large, but not total, out-migrants; spawning gravel, temperature, and flow appear nearly optimal already. Further gravel addition was predicted to increase total fry production but have little or even a negative effect on production of large out-migrants, illustrating that actions benefitting one life stage can negatively affect others. The model predicted that further enhancements (e.g., in cover availability) would be more beneficial at the restored site than at the degraded site. Restoration efforts may be most effective when concentrated in "hot spots" with good habitat for growth and predator avoidance as well as for spawning. Contradicting the traditional notion of "limiting factors," the model indicated that several factors each have strong effects. The model provided more understanding of restoration effects than would field studies alone and could be useful for designing projects to meet specific restoration objectives.

British History: Monarchy & Politics
Identify and explain what affected the power of Elizabeth I between 1558 and 1603.
Identify and explain what affected the power of Elizabeth I between 1558 and 1603. During Elizabeth I?s accession, her name was greeted as a true sovereign ?of no mingled blood of Spaniard, or stranger, but born mere English here among us.? [1] Elizabeth saw it as her mission to unite a divided people living in a state of complete turmoil, and she came to embody a truly national consciousness with such success that she gave her name to an age. However, the traditional picture of Elizabeth?s reign as a great age for both the Queen and the English nation contains only some truth ? by the end of her reign there was conflict and opposition with the parliament and other European powers, as well as financial instability. There were various issues throughout her reign which both waned and augmented the power of the monarch, namely her relationship with parliament, her expectation to marry, the succession problem, and the issue of England?s official religion. Elizabeth had sought to resolve the extreme hostilities between the Catholics and Protestants that her predecessor Mary had created. Both Elizabeth and Cecil ?held religion to be the matter of conscience? [2] ? she felt that religion had to be settled within England by dissolving papal and Spanish dominance. ...read more.
Elizabeth may have acted out of fear but her actions consolidated her position as Supreme Monarch. However, it was not only Catholics who threatened Elizabeth?s power in regard to religion ? the Puritans also had an impact. The threat to stability occurred because religious division could have undermined the stability of the 16th century at a time was government control was already fragile. It was clear that religious division and discord could cause rebellion. The government and the crown retained control through the nobility, and all of these ideas combined together to make the authorities fear what too much puritan influence within the church might lead to. Puritan ideas conflicted with those of the Church of England and would be unlikely to appeal to the majority; however, if the church structure had been further reformed among Puritan lines, the crown would have lost the significant control that it exercised via bishops. The puritans did not wane Elizabeth?s power because the existing governmental structures stopped an increase in puritan influence from occurring. It was not so much that the Puritan?s ideas were a threat, but rather that a fear of change and a reluctance to relinquish such important figures of authority made the puritans appear to be a threat to stability. ...read more.

How serious a threat did the Puritans pose to Elizabeth I and her Church?
Elizabeth I had clearly decided to treat all future Puritan threats extremely harshly in order to stamp it out before it became more dangerous, which is why she appointed a man well known to hate Puritans to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury- John Whitgift in 1583.

Suppose you want to back Manchester to win with 1000	UShs. If you were in our office, you would simply write Man U on a betting slip and hand it in with your stake. The bet is accepted by us, and if your prediction is correct, you simply return the slip to us to receive your payout of 4000 UShs. Equally if you thought West Ham would win, you would write down West Ham on your slip with your stake. If you are correct here, you get 1760 UShs. Finally for a draw the bet would be Man U Draw or even Man U X.
In order to take a bet, we need to know the match you want to bet on, the outcome you want to back, and the money you want to bet. We determine the match by using a number, the bet by using the # symbol and another number, and the stake comes after *.
But first need the stake. You send this to us via Mobile Money to us on MTN on Airtel.
We will send your PIN code via SMS so you can bet online. You will also need to register your age online.
Login using your Phone number and the PIN that we sent to you. Click Bet Now, and then make your selections. It's very simple. Adjust your bet and selections as you see fit, and finally confirm and place your bet. That's it!
Here you identify the match you are betting on by its Match Code which, in this example as above is 1475. You tell us your prediction by adding it to the Match Code. A Home Win is #1, an Away Win is #2 and a Draw is #0. You tell us how much you want to stake by adding your stake at the end of the bet. 1000 UShs is *1000. So to bet on this match, predicting a Home Win with 1000 UShs, you text the message 1475#1*1000 to our dedicated number 7997.
Just log in to your account and follow the options here.
Just SMS the word BALANCE to us on 7997. We will reply with how much you have.
In a multiple bet all your predictions have to be correct for the bet to win. If you wish to predict the outcome of more than one game you can "link" them together in what is known as a Multiple or Linked bet. An example of this would be: Man Utd win (1.35), Arsenal win (1.75), Real Madrid win (2.00). To calculate your potential winnings you simply multiply the prices quoted for each selection, 1.35 x 1.75 x 2.00 = 4.72. This means that, if your three selections win, you will win 4.72 times your investment. In this form of betting there is no limit to the amount of selections you can link together.
To send linked bets by SMS you link with "+". For example 101#1+102#1+1475#2*1000 puts the stake of 1000 UShs on three matches.
Place all bets before Kick Off. We can refuse to take late bets.
No dependent bets. You cannot put a multiple bet on two outcomes where the outcome of one depends to some extent on the other. For example, we will refuse a multiple bet that tries to bet on a team winning outright, plus the other side not scoring, as clearly these are related outcomes. Equally, we will refuse a multiple bet if you bet on a team to win AND lose, you will lose your money regardless of the outcome. (You can of course place separate bets on these outcomes). The basic rule is one bet per match in a multiple.
Of course there is more than the win-draw-win type of outcome. Please check our details of bets to see the outcomes you can bet on.

The kids and I drove up to PA for a quick MLK weekend visit to my folks. I did the 315 mile drive after my 16-mile run and was fading. I knew I was tired because I glanced at the clock in the minivan and saw 6:37, which registered immediately and clearly as a mile split (an aggressive one for me) and only after that, as an actual time of day. We had a nice drive, regularly calculating the percentage we'd covered along the way (they are math-heads too).
Do you notice certain numbers having meaning to you now that you swim/bike/run?
I definitely do. I'm not sure I had much of a concept of time or distance prior to the sport. I can now reference distance relative to things like 25y (length of the pool), 100m (strides), 400m (one lap of the track), 750 m, one mile.....marathon.
My time standards include everything from 20s (max effort intervals on bike) to 3:38 (marathon time). When we considered going to see the Hobbit, three-hour movie, the Hobbit, I compared that to running a marathon, and thought "yeah, maybe I can sit for three hours." We ended up not going; we'll wait for the DVD!
I don't need a metronome to know what 90 __ per minute is (my average run cadence) or 68 __ per minute (my average arm turnover on the swim). I know precisely what 8 mph feels like - a solid run speed or killer steep uphill on the bike. I also know the sensation and sound of 35, 40 mph on the bike!
Ah, no wonder this sport attracts "arithmophelias."
And yes, sigh, it IS highly ironic that I still struggle to count laps at the pool.

Nursing-home owner, fundraiser met twice
Aide: Money to judge 2nd talk's focus by Debra Hale-Shelton | March 25, 2015 at 4:33 a.m.
Nursing-home owner Michael Morton
CONWAY -- Nursing-home owner Michael Morton met with lobbyist Gilbert Baker a second time to discuss judicial campaign contributions, including those to since-ousted Circuit Judge Michael Maggio, after an earlier encounter at a Little Rock restaurant, Morton's spokesman said.

Baker, a former state senator and fundraiser for Maggio's now-halted campaign for the Arkansas Court of Appeals, did not return a phone message seeking comment Tuesday. Former U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins, who represents Baker in a federal criminal investigation relating to those contributions, declined to comment.
Until now, there has not been any public mention of a second meeting between Morton and Baker about the Maggio campaign. Baker, a Conway Republican, has never publicly acknowledged the first meeting that Morton has said took place at Brave New Restaurant with Baker and Baker's associate Linda Leigh Flanagin.
In an email to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Morton spokesman Matt DeCample wrote, "When Baker first mentioned donating to Maggio's campaign to Morton, it was at an event both attended at Brave New Restaurant. ... However, that was just a brief mention in passing at an event.
"The actual meeting between Morton and Baker to discuss specifics of judicial donations, including Maggio's, came at a later date at a different location," DeCample wrote in the email Monday.
DeCample was former Gov. Mike Beebe's spokesman until Beebe left office in January.
Asked when and where the second Morton-Baker meeting took place, DeCample said Tuesday that he would have to check to see whether that information was considered part of the investigation and did not know how much detail he could provide. He later replied in an email saying in part, "I can't get into other details beyond that which aren't yet in the public record (court records, ethics commission report, etc.) while the federal investigation remains open."
Morton did not return messages left on his office and cell phones.
In January, Maggio, 53, pleaded guilty to a felony bribery charge in a case that resulted from his handling of a negligence lawsuit filed against Morton's Greenbrier nursing home in the 2008 death of patient Martha Bull, 76, of Perryville.
Sentencing in that case is set for July 24 in U.S. District Court in Little Rock.
In his plea agreement, Maggio admitted accepting campaign contributions, at least in part, in return for being "influenced and induced" to lower the Faulkner County jury's $5.2 million negligence lawsuit judgment in the Bull case to $1 million on July 10, 2013.
That ruling came two days after Morton wrote $24,000 in checks to eight political action committees, seven of which later helped finance Maggio's campaign. Morton has said he mailed the checks to Baker's home and has produced a FedEx receipt showing a delivery from his office to Baker's house on July 9, 2013.
The plea agreement never refers to Morton or Baker by name. Rather, it refers only to Individual A -- a nursing-home owner -- and Individual B -- a fundraiser for Maggio.
Neither Morton nor Baker is charged with a crime.
The federal criminal investigation into their activities related to the Maggio campaign continues, as do preparations for a hearing Friday in a civil lawsuit filed in Faulkner County Circuit Court by Bull's family against Maggio, Morton and Baker. That lawsuit accuses the three men of conspiring to funnel campaign contributions to Maggio.
During the hearing Friday, Special Judge David Laser of Jonesboro is to consider a motion by Maggio that the case against him be dismissed because of judicial immunity. Laser also may take up a new motion in which attorneys for Morton and Baker have united to ask the judge to dismiss the case against them, as well.
In a motion placed online Tuesday, Morton attorneys John Everett of Fayetteville and Kirkman Dougherty of Fort Smith and Baker's civil attorney, Richard Watts of Little Rock, argue not on the merits of the conspiracy allegation but on the merits of whether a lawsuit is the correct way to solve the matter. They contend that the proper option is for the plaintiffs to file a motion to set aside the judgment in the original lawsuit.
"Even if plaintiffs' allegations are viewed as true and in the light most favorable to them, their only remedy is a Rule 60 motion to set aside the verdict" under the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure, the attorneys write. The plaintiffs' "collateral attack [through the lawsuit] is not the appropriate vehicle with which to attack the judgment," they add.
Little Rock attorney Thomas Buchanan, who represents Bull's family, did not return a phone message seeking comment.
The exact date when Morton and Baker purportedly met at Brave New Restaurant is unclear. Maggio's plea agreement says that on or about May 16, 2013, Individual B -- the fundraiser -- sent Maggio a text message stating, "I have a LR lunch today with the nursing home folks. The topic will be judicial races. You are at the top of the list."
May 16, 2013, was also the day that a Faulkner County jury reached its verdict in the Bull family's negligence lawsuit.
By law, Maggio's campaign was prohibited from soliciting or accepting judicial campaign contributions until Nov. 21, 2013. Yet, on June 29, 2013, Individual B sent Maggio a text saying in part, "Well, your first 50K is on the way," according to the plea agreement.
Morton told the Democrat-Gazette in a March 2014 interview that he was having lunch at the restaurant at some point while Maggio was presiding over the Bull family's negligence lawsuit when "that girl that works with Gilbert -- Flanagin, I think is her name" -- asked him to support Maggio. Morton said then that he didn't know whether Baker was at the restaurant.
Baker told the newspaper at the time that he was not there and did not know about the conversation between Morton and Flanagin.
"I did not tell her to do that or instruct her to do that," Baker said.
He also said he had no discussions with Flanagin or Morton about giving to Maggio's campaign.
When Morton testified before the staff of the Arkansas Ethics Commission in May 2014, he said, however, that he ran into Baker and Flanagin at the restaurant, was asked if he'd support Maggio and replied, "yes," according to a commission-released summary of the testimony.
In June 2014, Baker appeared before the commission staff and testified that he did not remember specifically asking Morton for contributions but said he would not deny that he did because he asked Morton to donate money all the time.
Baker also testified that he discussed many candidates with Morton and said he would not have solicited specific amounts of money from Morton -- as Morton has said Baker did -- until the judicial window for contributions had opened. The donations also would not have been just for Maggio, Baker said.
The Arkansas Supreme Court ordered Maggio removed from office in September over an unrelated issue: contentious comments he made online about a wide range of issues, including women, sex, bestiality, race, divorce and an adoption case that should have been confidential.

Econometric Data
If it's in the News, it's in our Polls. Public opinion polling since 2003.
Voters Think Trump Would Be Better for Economy - Or Would He?
The U.S. economy historically has had an average growth rate of 3.3% but has fallen short of that number in every year of Barack Obama's presidency. Still, his fellow Democrats give the president positive marks for his economic performance and think Hillary Clinton would do more of the same. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is expected to make the economy better by all voters - except Democrats.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of all Likely U.S. Voters rate the issue of the economy as Very Important to their vote in the upcoming presidential election, according to a new Rasmussen Reports telephone and online survey. Another 20% say it's at least somewhat important to how they will vote. Just four percent (4%) describe the economy as not very or Not At All Important. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Forty-two percent (42%) say Obama has done a good or excellent job handling the economy, while 43% think his economic performance has been poor. This is a slightly more positive assessment than we found in January but is generally in line with regular findings since 2014.
Sign up: Free daily newsletter
Only 12% of voters think Clinton would do a better job economically if elected president, compared to 42% who expect a better economic performance from Trump. Yet while 29% say Clinton would do worse than Obama, 43% believe Trump would do worse. Half (49%) expect Clinton to do about the same as Obama. Just seven percent (7%) say the billionaire businessman would handle the economy the way the current president has.
Drill down, though, and you find that while only 19% of Democrats think Clinton would do a better job with the economy than Obama has, 74% of Republicans and a plurality (43%) of unaffiliateds believe Trump would do better. Of course, 76% of Democrats say Trump would do worse. Roughly half of voters in all three groups feel that Clinton would do about the same as Obama.
(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on May 17-18, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Trump has now grown his lead over Clinton in Rasmussen Reports' first weekly White House Watch survey.
These findings rating the potential performance of Clinton vs. Trump on the economy are in line with surveys Rasmussen Reports has done on other issues, including national security, diplomacy, illegal immigration and the selection of the next justice to the U.S. Supreme Court. Republicans firmly believe Trump will do better, and unaffiliated voters tend to agree. Democrats feel strongly that Trump will do worse and don't expect any major changes if Clinton is the next president.
Among voters who rate the economy as Very Important to their vote, 47% say Obama has done a poor job handling the issue; 38% give the president positive marks in this area. Forty-eight percent (48%) of these voters think Clinton would do about the same, while 47% say Trump would do better.
Most voters who say the president has done a good or excellent job with the economy expect Clinton to do about the same. Among voters who rate Obama's economic performance as poor, 83% say Trump would do better; 45% say Clinton would do worse, while 48% think she would perform about the same.
Voter of all ages consider the economy a Very Important voting issue, but those under 40 are much more likely than their elders to approve of the job Obama is doing. Older voters think Trump would do a better job; most younger voters feel he would do worse. All tend to agree Clinton is more likely to do more of the same.
Just 27% of all voters think the country is headed in the right direction.
Forty-four percent (44%) describe themselves as conservative when it comes to fiscal issues such as taxes, government spending and business regulation. Nearly as many (41%) say they are moderates in this area, but only 13% consider themselves fiscal liberals.
Most voters still believe the U.S. economy is unfair to the middle class. But voters say that economic growth is more important than economic fairness, and they give a thumbs up to policies that expand the economy over policies that promote fairness.
For Republicans, government is a problem; for Democrats, it's the solution.
Democrats are more supportive of raising the minimum wage than Republicans are.

Mayors for Peace national assembly closes with decision to adopt document urging Japan to ratify nuclear ban treaty
by Junji Akechi, Staff Writer
The general assembly of Japanese member cities of Mayors for Peace (for which Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui serves as president), held in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, has ended its two-day meeting. Before closing the meeting on November 6, the participants decided to submit a document to the Japanese government calling for the nation to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. This is the first time that Mayors for Peace has called on the Japanese government to ratify the nuclear weapons ban treaty.
The petition letter issued to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stresses that actions running counter to the aim of abolishing nuclear weapons, such as the U.S. decision to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, are now occurring worldwide. The letter calls on the Japanese government to join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons because A-bomb survivors have long desired for all nations to come together to ban nuclear arms.
On November 1, at the First Committee (on disarmament and international security) of the U.N. General Assembly, the Japanese government rejected a resolution to promote the ratification of the nuclear weapons ban treaty. Mr. Matsui, who proposed the submission of the petition letter at the Mayors for Peace general assembly, explained his reason for proposing the letter by saying that if the government would like to serve as a bridge between the nuclear nations and non-nuclear nations, it should take an approach in which the government adopts policies in line with the wish of the A-bomb survivors.
At a press interview that took place after the meeting, Tomihisa Taue, the vice-president of Mayors for Peace, talked about the United States abstaining from, rather than supporting, Japan's draft resolution presented to the First Committee calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons, and said, "It has become more difficult for the Japanese government to be able to bridge the gap between the nuclear powers and the non-nuclear states. I'd like to insist, to the Japanese government, on our stance of developing the nuclear weapons ban treaty into an international standard."
Hidehiko Yuzaki, the governor of Hiroshima Prefecture, expressed the prefectural goal of achieving a nuclear-free world by 2045. With regard to this, Mr. Matsui said, "The vision of Mayors for Peace is to eliminate all nuclear weapons by 2020. But both Hiroshima City and Hiroshima Prefecture are heading in the same direction to achieve this aim." Mr. Taue said, "Although we would like to eliminate all nuclear weapons while the A-bomb survivors are still alive, I recognize that the achievement of that goal is becoming more and more difficult. We have to engage in discussions about a new vision."
The two-day general assembly was attended by 148 people from 91 municipalities and included 39 mayors and governors.

I am creating a web page using php wherein a user will login then after clicking the button, it will run the python script I made. Is it possible for the python script to run and get the user input value then save it on a variable on php?
#Modulo(%) takes the remainder when dividing integers as output. We use this since when we count after 6(S), we go back to 0(F).
print user + " and " + crush + " are (F)riends."
print user + " and " + crush + " are (L)overs."
print user + " and " + crush + " are (A)cquaintances."
print user + " and " + crush + " are (M)arried."
print user + " and " + crush + " are (E)nemies."
print user + " and " + crush + " are (S)iblings."
Can somebody help me to solve this? Thanks.
Do a print_r($result) on line 25. What do you get?
that's the output I got. But what I'm trying to do is have a value input from the user because as you can see, the python script will ask for 2 names so that in can execute the result of what their relationship is, according to the game called flames.
is there a way that I can call and output the python script first, so I can gather the user input for the two names then it will be passed as a variable on php for the result.php to be shown?
how to add two input value?

Window Tint Film for Cars
Tinted windows are required in order for your car to look and feel attractive. They contribute to the car's minimalist design, while also enhancing the privacy of your vehicle, leading to an appealing ride. You can add tinted windows to your car if it does not come with them. This article will explain everything you should know about San Diego window tinting including different kinds of films, legal considerations to the best way to tint your automobile.
What the Law Says About Tinted Windows
The windscreen film must allow at least 75% of the light through it.
The front side windows must let at minimum 70% of the light available.
A man tints the windows of his vehicle.
The Driver Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has guidelines for tinting windows. The laws only apply to the front-side windows and the windscreen. However, police can arrest you if your vehicle's security is threatened by the tinting of rear windows. Only trustworthy dealers offer aftermarket tint film.
What are the different Window Tint Films?
We'll now examine the various types of window tint films to determine which one will suit your needs best. We'll take a look at the four main varieties and analyze the benefits and disadvantages of each.
Window Tint Film with a color Background
The most readily available, inexpensive popular, and affordable window tint is dyed film. It comes with a sticky back that adheres to the window, it is then heated used to stick to the glass precisely. The film is opaque on the outside, but translucent inside for good visibility.
The price is reasonable, it's easy to apply, and has a tremendous tinted effect.
The color may fade over time. The cooling impact is moderate while UV protection is not as strong in summer.
Window Tint Film with a Metallic Finish
This type of coating comprises small metal particles which help color the glass, as well as give it a gleaming, metallic look. Metallic films are reflecting covering that helps to keep heat from the cabin. They also help strengthen windscreens which makes them less likely to shatter.
Durable and scratch-resistant. It's also an excellent insulator in the summer heat and in winter.
Metal particles can cause interference to the reception of entertainment and phone calls as well as radio reception.
Window Tint Film with Carbon
The carbon film is superior to metalized tinting because it does not contain carbon particles that could interfere with reception on phones and radios. Additionally, it is capable of absorbing heat from the sun even during the most scorching months of the year. This reduces the need for air conditioners.
The matt finish provides superior UV protection as well as insulation.
Films with metallic or color are more expensive.
Ceramic Window Tint Film
This tint is top of the line. It's made of ceramic particles that offer exceptional protection against harmful UV radiation. They also keep the car cool in summer. This tinting film is the most expensive and the most current on the market. But, it also comes with the longest-lasting finish and the longest-lasting durability.
It's durable and tough with a stylish matte surface and excellent UV and heat resistance.
Expensive and only available from a select few manufacturers.

crumbs from His table: "I Look Not Back"
The wasted hours, the sinning, the regrets.
And graciously forgives, and then forgets.
For I have naught on which to stay my trust.
And weak endeavors, crumbling into dust.


The Pulteney Fire Company was started in 1936, after a raging fire destroyed the Wagstaff home located in the center of town. The only fire equipment the town had at the time were two hand drawn chemical type extinguishers. The day after the fire Wade Logan and Lloyd Norton circulated a petition to obtain permission from the town board to form a volunteer fire company. When permission was granted, 40 members of the community immediately joined to form the "Pulteney Fire Co." Charles Minnerly Sr. was elected the first fire chief. The members decided that the best location for the fire house was the Wagstaff property. They acquired the land, cleaned up the charred remains and started building.

RFK neighbors not happy about fireworks, whine like little girls
March 3rd, 2005 @ 2:06 PM Uncategorized
In a NIMBY move that makes it look like the residents around RFK could be related to Chris Zimmerman and the other whiners in Arlington, residents around RFK have successfully derailed Fireworks after the Friday games at RFK. What's more galling is that they will not even allow fireworks for Opening Day or for the Fourth of July.
All of this leads me to the question…
…Who doesn't like Fireworks? I mean, c'mon. They're FIREWORKS. They're a staple of American Society, right up there with Baseball, Apple Pie, Mom, and Little Yellow Fuzzy Ducks!

The only whiners are the little baseball bitches and Pentagon City bar owners who didn't get their stadium– which Arlington didn't need or want, especially people on the south side whose property values would have plummeted from the noise, traffic and the waves of drunken hicks pouring in when NASCAR wasn't on TV.
(what I want to know is, why would you drive 40 miles to see baseball in Virginia but not then go another mile across a river to see it in the city? Is DC that scary to these hayseeds?)
At least DC now gets the development it needs and the low paying underskilled jobs its residents need.
Welcome Nationals! A Washington team that plays in Washington. How novel.

Hey, I live in South Arlington. I totally wanted that Stadium. As for your other comparison, I think you'd best do some soul-searching about your "tolerant" opinions.
You might even want to shove them up your ass.
You were in the minority. The people who wanted the stadium in Arlington were largely non-Arlingtonians, renters and business owners on the South Side (like the Crystal City Sports Pub). Just count the No Stadium signs. I'm guessing you rent, FYI but I could be wrong.
As for NASCAR and hicks, take a joke, will you? If you can dish it out to the "whining" NIMBY people you've got to take it– and Zimmerman is the whiner? RFK is just a metro ride away.
I don't even live on that side of Arlington, but I opposed the stadium because it made no sense. DC needs the jobs and the development more, has the right labor force and can get the land for cheaper. Not to mention getting a million people in and out of an area next to the most locked down military fortress in history. At least the anacostia waterfront is a ghost town. If they want to do something with Pentagon Shitty, they should build a technology park there or something that actually generates jobs and revenue for Arlingtonians.
I own my condo in the South Side of Arlington. I've rented in South Arlington, lived in North Arlington, and most of the people I spoke with are fans of the idea. They liked the idea of a baseball stadium in their backyard a la Wrigley Field in Chicago.
I really don't think it's fair to say NASCAR and MLB share even remotely the same fanbase in any city outside Atlanta, not even close. Business owners liked the idea, the ones I talked to, and while traffic might have gotten worse, how is the giant convention center going into Pentagon City going to make things better?
Besides, I think we could have definitely served a team, and there certainly was support from both the state and local communities, with the exception of the Arlington County Council, who made their fiat exception in a HIDDEN MEETING with no public attendance. In California, that's a jailable offense.
But now, we lose all that taxable revenue to the district. Have you seen your property tax assessment? Have you seen how HIGH it is? I'll bet you kiam to kittycats some relief could have been managed out of the added baseball revenue.
I wouldn't want to live near Fenway, Yankee or Shay Stadium either. Or RFK for that matter. And I'm a baseball fan.
The stadium failed for several reasons. 1, it made no sense because we didn't need the development not to mention the expense. 2. we were bidding against several real cities with deeper pockets. 3. space is at a premium in Arlington and 4. the pro-baseball movement was far too belligerent, frankly, to assuage people's concerns. I mean, calling people who opposed baseball panzies and other names isn't exactly a way to make them feel safe about gambling their property values on new development. I saw some of the pro baseball rallies, and rather than trying to convince people they were out for the blood of anyone who opposed them. Not quite the way to do things.
Not to mention lining the pockets of millionaire team owners with a publically financed stadium, which is dubious in of itself let alone for a town which doesn't need the minimum wage jobs that come with it.
The council was smart. People like me wrote letters to him and Warner and said 1. I voted for you and 2. I don't need, want, or want to pay for this stadium– give it to DC. Why should they even consider it? Would we commit to building a theatre or a rock concert hall because some band or troupe *might* come to Arlington? No way. So the council tabled the issue, which was procedural, since the debate had never even been introduced. The MLB never approached them as far as I know, which of course is the way they do business. They want people to want them more than they return. That way, they get sweatheart deals. If MLB had actually made an offer to Arlington, perhaps there would have actually been a debate. But as it was, it was a bunch of fans begging the council to kiss the MLBs ass for a team that DC wanted more.
If they end up building a convention center there or something else that is great. You can work and have conventions all year round and generate more business and more tax revenue and more high end patrons. Baseball is only there for the season. Not to mention, you can still live near the stadium. Look at the cranes over the Anacostia Waterfront. They can't build the condo foundations fast enough, and they're taking land worth nothing and turning it into the next hot spot in DC. Whereas in Arlington, property values were so high (being rich is a bitch when the tax bill arrives) that the incremental development would be marginal compared to what could happen in DC.
Anyway, I'm glad the Expos moved here. See you at the game.

But here's the real issue… who doesn't like fireworks on the Fourth of July? What kind of 'Merica-haters live near RFK that the Nats can't have fireworks when the whole rest of the country does?
Tom Bridge (unregistered) on March 3rd, 2005 @ 10:27 pm
You admittedly don't live in South Arlington, but felt you knew well enough to insist you, a northern arlingtonian, knew better about the needs of South Arlington. South Arlington already has a larger lower-income base than North Arlington does. They could have used the jobs, admittedly not as much as the resident of Southeast, but still enough to warrant a team. Also, I find it unlikely those in Southeast would be unwilling to commute to work for the Nats. Just sayin'.
While DC wanted the club, it was clear to me that Northern Virginia was a better site in the eyes of MLB. The state of Virginia was willing to pay for the stadium, and in fact had already set the money aside to begin the bond processes. Regardless of who's fronting the cash, Arlington still stood to gain financially, to the point where they could provide more services to the community (can you say Metro improvements?) or tax its citizenry less.
I, too, wrote a letter to the council, I wrote two: one before they did their dirty backroom deal, and one after. I was deeply disappointed that the council refused to hear out in public sessions the potential benefits of the team, in contrast to the close-minded fools who ran baseball into the arms of Southeast.
I don't think Baseball in Virginia (or whatever their name was) acted in the best interest of the sport at all times, but I can say their heart was in the right place.

It's like my friend says, nothing completes a weekend like blowing stuff up and throwing shit off cliffs.
HAH! You can stay :D We may disagree on baseball, but on the basics, we see eye to eye.


Sun is finally out, and forecast seems positive for this evening, so Santa's Sled will make the run tonight to get it in before Christmas. We will start at dark ~ 4:30 middle of the lake and run clockwise. I expect Rudolph and I are the only ones crazy enough to do this on Christmas Eve, but if anyone wants to join me call my mobile (425) 449-0070 – as I'm heading out to get the sleigh ready now. Note we have NOT made arrangements for the launch ramp to stay open late, so if you want to join me, and you are not on the lake, we can park your boat at my dock for the night.


With Golden Goose Francy large sized feet, life may be very different. It can be frustrating, disappointing and annoying. Many times, you would have to face dejection and disappointment when you have big feet. When you have large feet, you are ashamed to step out of your home. You fail to look good enough because you end up looking gawky with big feet. Women with sizes more than 7 are considered to have big feet. When you are trying to purchase, Women's shoes size 8 then you would find there are not many brands that offers you shoes in this size. However, seeing the growing need for the large sized shoes, manufacturers and designers have brought different designs and styles of shoes of this size in the market.
People often think that Women Flats equals comfort. This is not always the case. A friend of mine made this mistake when she wore doll shoes while walking endlessly. She complained that her feet were so sore, she had to stay off them the next day. Flip-flops are also a no-no. You need sufficient protection for your feet lest someone steps Golden Goose Mid Star on them. Slippers are too flimsy and break easily. Don't use new shoes when traveling. You won't know they're suitable for walking unless they have been broken in. Sneakers are your best bet or any comfortable pair of footwear that have been tried and tested for traveling.
For the shoes, the store offers a variety of style and designs of Women Pumps, flats, open toe shoes, sandals, strapless shoes, dress shoes and the like. They also have a couple of unique pairs of shoes which we could also attribute to Golden Goose V Star as one of the main factors that helped fuel the popularity of the store.
Medium-sized bags are the newest trend in handbags this season. Shop for the latest styles like a boho-style bag with suede and fringe detailing, a classic Golden Goose clutch, or go for that country casual feel with a satchel made out of alligator or suede. The newest style for fall is the top frame bag which is a structured handbag made out of crocodile leather with a short handle. It's a great new item to add to your essentials because it is a classic, tailored bag.
The Acrea shoe is made of soft leather and has an adjustable arch strap and a quite supportive strap over the heel to ensure a comfortable fit. As with all Tsubo shoes the sole has a number of oval bubbles placed in strategic positions to give that added comfort level. The Tsubo Acrea Shoe Golden Goose Slide is available in black and four additional colours.
What does this mean? Simple, you want Golden Goose Superstar to know your walking into a bona fide virtual online printing company. No different the being in the real world where you Golden Goose Ball Starwalk into a brick and mortar facility. Find a print company that is a print company. Why? Once again, the print company is focused on printing, their line of work. You don't walk into a print shop and find Women Sandals, website design or ice cream cones do you? Find a commercial printer or online print shop that is focused on printing whether commercial and or large format. This will assure you that they are focused on your print order and you as a customer.
We have always heard the phrase that 'high heels are dangerous.' High heels causes several health issues related to the knees, back and spine. And, when it becomes too difficult Golden Goose Starter to manage people just switch on to flat shoes. But, did you know that flats are dangerous too?
Keeping up with trends and incorporating them into your seasonal wardrobe is fun, once you understand what they are. Oftentimes, when clients feel they look dowdy or matronly, it's because they are not incorporating a few modern touches into their ensembles. If you are on Golden Goose May a budget for fall, find three or four of these "must-have's" and let them work to create an updated, stylish look for your business wardrobe.

Another Spider-Man Musical...
Posted: Aug 2011
With all the commotion over the "Turn off the Dark" Spider-Man Musical, there's a little guerilla-style theater production that may have slipped under the radar. Entitled "The Spidey Project: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility", this was the creation of "The People's Improv Theater", aka "The PIT".
This super-talented team of Spidey fans aimed to write, cast, and rehearse an entire musical within 31 days on a budget of zero dollars. Incredibly, they succeeded, and the show ran two performances from 14th March 2011 at the People's Improv Theatre in New York City. That gives them the honor of being the first Spider-Man Musical to open in New York!
Both shows were completely sold-out and got great reviews. Now they're in the process of finishing an album recording of all the songs, and they'll perform at the NY ComiCon in October.
You can view the show and see the official program at the official Spidey Project Blog.
