2011 DIRTY DOZEN RESULTS
The 29th annual Dirty Dozen was held on Saturday, November 26th. With a high temperature of 60 degrees F, mostly cloudy skies, and dry conditions, we had a record turnout of 305 riders! Of these 305 cyclists, 175 (57.4%) were rookies (first timers). A record 47 riders were over 50 years old including ten over 60. A record 16 teenagers. A record women's field of 16.
Taking 1st & 2nd on the first 2 hills, Steve Cummings (Steevo) and Sam Morrison (started with a fractured wrist he got in a cyclocross race two weeks before) were tied for the lead when Steevo dropped his chain at the bottom of the 3rd hill (Berryhill) forcing him to go to the bottom for a restart. Sam placed 4th giving him a 7 point lead over Steevo. This made Steevo raving at me for going 10 places deep on the points this year. Instead of being down by just 2 points (old 5 place system), defending champ Steevo was down by 7. I explained to him that Sam could have a similar mishap on future hills such as Canton which causes many crashes even among the leaders. On the next 3 hills, Steevo was only able to gain one point on Sam on each hill, but on the toughest hill (#7 - Suffolk), Steevo won and Sam scored no points. This gave Steevo the lead again which he held to the end (winning 5 hills) for his record 8th consecutive DD win. Because of his fractured wrist, Sam stopped on the next hill (#8 - Sycamore) atop of which he quit.
Finishing in 2nd & 3rd place were 5 time DD riders Eddie Grystar Jr. & Bob Stumpf - the only 2 riders to score points on every hill. The top rookie finisher & 4th place was my Nephew Steven Perezluha from Florida who finished solo Race Across AMerica (RAAM) this summer. Sprinters John Cotter & Mark Nicoll each won 2 hills. 51 year old Jim Doan was the first 40+ rider and finished in 7th place. Of the 29 men to score points, only 5 were rookies, but 8 were over 40 years old. Pro Bikes owner Craig Cozza was the only 40+ rookie to score points. This was the highest calibre DD field I have ever seen. Even with the points going 10 places deep, it was still quite difficult to score. The following riders dropped in places from last year to this year: Gerry Pflug went from 2nd place last year to 8th place this year. Joe Lydic fell from 3rd to 6th. Jonathan Pratt (not the photographer) dropped from 13th to 22nd. Gunnar Shogren went from 15th to 24th. I fell from 6th to 19th.
Gunnar Shogren headed a new single gear/speed (SS) category this year. None of the bikes were fixed gear. The winner Bill (Stik) Westover finished in 10 place overall. He forfeited points on hill #6 (Pig Hill/Rialto St.) by deciding to climb in the SS heat. Montana Miller (first to finish DD on a fixed gear in 2009) broke Gunnar Shogren's (45x22 {2.045} fixed gear in 2010) highest low gear record by using a 36x17 {2.118} gear this year. Here are the SS results with the gears they used:
1. Bill "Stik" Westover, 39x22 {1.773}, 10 place overall
2. Gunnar Shogren, 36x19 {1.895}
3. Donald Powers, 38x20 {1.900}
4. Montana Miller, 36x17 {2.118}, a new highest low gear record
5. Steve Harouff, 42x22 {1.909}
Without the top 5 places returning from last year, the women's race was wide open this year. 14 out of the 16 women were rookies. I went 5 places deep on the points again. The women tie a piece of pink tape around their handlebars to distinguish themselves from the men. Ironman triathlete Anne-Marie Alderson led through the first 6 hills despite being shut out (no points) on hill #5 (Logan) in Millvale. Near the top of the hill, a guy crashed right in front of her causing her to stop (got a foot out before crashing) so she had to go back down and ride up the hill again. On the toughest hill (#7 - Suffolk), Alderson was shut out again, and Erin Yanacek won the hill and moved into the lead.
A trumpet player at CMU, Erin lost her lead on the steepest (37% grade) hill - #9 Canton in Beechview which Alderson won and led to the end (winning 9 hills) for her first DD victory. After Erin's manfriend Jean-Christophe Veloso was seen pushing her up Canton, I insisted that she make it up on her own. After many failed attempts, she switched rear wheels with Jeff Lazar (a 25 cog for a 28 cog), and on her 7th try finally made it up - weaving at walking speed all the way across the rough cobblestones, and nearly coming to a stop several times. Bloodied up from crashes on the hill, Erin's heroic effort was truly remarkable and inspiring to watch by the huge, cheering crowd assembled on the hill. After one of these crashes, a photo shows her lying on the ground with her bike, and it looks like she is taking a nap. Erin won 3 hills and finished in 2nd place.
Karen Brooks (of Dirt Rag Mag & Bicycle Times) finished 3rd. Despite not having her feet attached to her pedals (this gives a huge advantage for climbing up steep hills), Linda Thomas was 4th. Riding her mountain bike, 15 year old Angelina Palermo was 5th, and became the youngest female DD finisher. Only 5 women made it up all of the hills. The DD was quite a family affair for the Palermo's of Butler. Angelina's parents Ron & Cheryl rode, and Ron's brother Dan attempted to break bike race promoter JR Petsko's heaviest DD finisher record of 240 pounds (set in 2009). 245 pound Dan nearly had it until he had to veer off and loop around side streets on the last 2 hills.
To be an official DD finisher, you must ride up every hill without stopping or crashing. You must have continuous forward motion UP the hill! You can weave back and forth as long as you are continuing to go UP. As soon as you start to go level or back down the hill, you are disqualified. You can go back down to the bottom of the hill, and try again as many times as you want. In the early days of 20 or fewer riders, I was able to keep track of who made all the hills, but once the DD grew bigger than this, I was unable to police it anymore. Now there exists an honor system where riders keep track of themselves. Of course when it comes to scoring points and setting DD records, I still have to keep track of this.
With the DD growing so fast, I had to organize an entire staff again this year to help me run it. Thanks to Maura Spillane, Ashley Bock & Nina Wilczek for doing registration in the morning. Thanks to Lee-Ann's brother Kevin Beatty (men's), his wife Amanda (videotaped top men finishers), & Carol Moore (women's & single speed) for officiating (scoring points) atop hills. Thanks to Ron Lutz & son Eric and Dave Shaffer for driving the food vehicle, and organizing the food stops - Millvale's Riverfront Park on the Allegheny River at the bottom of the 5th hill Logan, and at the top of the 9th hill Canton Ave. Thanks again to Steve Mentzer for loaning me his 10 gallon orange coolers and 6 gallon blue cubes he uses for the Rachel Carson Trail Challenge.
Thanks to Glenn Pawlak & Big Bang Bicycles for sponsoring the DD again this year. Glenn's brother Scott drove the BB support vehicle again with Glenn's son Isaac, and mechanic Evan Robinson making on-the-go repairs. Thanks to Gary Baun (Ian's father) for driving the clothing/spare equipment vehicle. If you lost any clothes, please e-mail him about it at soleman33@aol.com
Thanks to the Eat'n Park and Vice President Brooks Broadhurst who really stepped up to the plate this year. They donated hot chocolate, Smuckers Uncrustables peanut butter & grape jelly sandwiches, and smiley face cookies. Once theBud Harris Cycling Track (oval) parking lot filled up at the start in the morning, Brooks made sure people didn't park illegally by sending them down to overflow parking - a gravel lot North of the oval on Washington Blvd. Thanks also to the little girl who held up a sign for this. Brooks also allowed my DD food crew to empty trash and get water at his restaurant along the route at Crane Ave. & Banksville Rd. in Beechview before Canton Ave. At this location and at Middle Rd. & Rt. 8 in Shaler Twp. (also on the route between hills 3 & 4), Brooks had his employees come out and marshal traffic at these very busy, dangerous intersections. Here is a photo of Brooks, myself & Glenn at the start. The registration table is to our right.
With such a huge pack/field of riders this year, safety became my #1 concern, so I increased the number of orange vest marshals and made Chris Helbling head marshal. A big thanks to Chris, his son Ian, & the rest of the marshals: Returning from last year were Bob {looks like Al from "Home Improvement" TV show with Tim Allen} Bliss (Aaron's father), Tom Reay (Andrew's father), & Michael Hordijk. Also helping were Gene Nacey & his daughter Nina Wilczek, Ken Kaszak, Mike Horowitz, Mark Rauterkus (Erik's father), and August (a woman from Miami, FL). Ron Mower (Tyler's father) was a motorcycle marshal. Riding marshals were Joe Ross, Matt Kurpiewski, Owen Bittner, & Seth Gernot. If I have left anybody out, please let me know who you are. Thanks to West Virginian Steve Harouff for giving us 4 stop/slow signs and 4 orange flags all of which belong to JR Petsko.
Neighborhoods have been getting involved. Thanks to Julie Ewing & her Troy Hill crew for sweeping clean closed hill #6 - Pig Hill/Rialto St., and removing the barrier atop the hill. Thanks to Fineview's Melissa Gallagher for welcoming riders (with signs) up hill #7 - Suffolk/Hazelton/Burgess - the single toughest DD hill! Thanks to Oscar Swan and Bob Stumpf for lending me their electronic bullhorns again. 855 people have ridden (started) the DD over the past 28 years. 30 riders graduated to my 3 or more DDs ridden list this year. I was unable to ride the 2008 DD because of back surgery. This ended my record 25 consecutive DDs streak. Currently, Steevo has the longest consecutive DDs ridden streak at 9 years. Only 7 people have ridden more DDs than Steevo. Of these 7, only two (Ray Russell & myself) rode this year. Bryan Routledge has ridden the most DDs (9) without ever scoring any points.
Congrats to all the riders who conquered every hill. To those who didn't, train harder next year and bring a lower gear. If you have say over 50 DD photos in a Facebook album and would like to share them, please send the link to me at DanChew@yahoo.com and I will put them in my media links section. Could somebody with an advanced GPS unit please send me a file with the entire (oval to oval) 50 mile DD route on it with a cue sheet at least as nice as this one? I need to replace the old one (Liberty Tunnels used to be on the course) on my website.
Last year, brothers Rich & Greg Hartley started the DD, but only Rich was able to finish. This year, Greg came back and finished. Greg would like to get a 2010 DD jersey (black & yellow) for his brother Rich who inspired him to finish this year. Greg will pay the $75 purchase price for a size XL jersey in good condition. I still have one bran new (unopened) size medium jersey left. If your XL jersey is way too big (maybe you just lost a lot of weight), and you would like to make a trade, I can sell Greg my new one which he will trade you for your old one. If interested, please call Greg at 412-445-5570 or e-mail him at HartleyGreg@verizon.net

Ron Paul and a perspective on the race matters
Ron Paul gave CNN some answers yesterday and then the CNN reporter asked the same questions today. And, the question got a reply. And then the CNN reporter re-asked the same dang question over again. Go figure. Then I was reading a thread and came upon this remark reposted from someone called, "theredpill" at http://www.dailypaul.com.
The second flaw in the Ron Paul critique is that his voting record doesn't support what is being implied. After 30 years in public office shouldn't we see a pattern in his voting record that is blatantly racist? Unfortunately for his detractors, we don't. Some votes were not in favor of issues sympathetic to poor blacks. Some votes were not in favor of issues sympathetic to rich whites. In the balance his voting record (which is how he actually MUST be judged) shows an uncanny bravery and consistency. Agree with him or not I can see a constitutional thread through every single vote he's cast. There doesn't appear to be a specific race bias but more a guiding principle of not permitting favors or handicaps based on belonging to a group. His voting records says that people should be free to make their own choices and governments cant legislate who you speak with, love or hate. If I disagree with him at least I know the foundation of my counter argument. The constitution. In an era where lobbyists determine congressional votes by bribery isn't it refreshing and a bit inspiring that no such bias exists with this man? Rather than demonize the man for newsletters why don't you in the media find a consistent strain in his record in public office against blacks, Jews, hispanics or any other ethnic group specifically.
In addition to this I looked for a speech or presentation that contained racist rhetoric. Where is his Sally Kern style "..blacks are lazy" moment? Where is the moment where like Joe Biden, he says that "..."You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent."? Where is his outrageously racist quote similar to those we can find from Senator Byrd, Governor Wallace or even Hilary Clinton's now famous "Ghandi" quote? I can't even find a public Truman-esque "God does hate the Chinese and Japs" meltdown. With the way he's described I'd at least expect to hear something akin to the famous "...(God) created the white man. I know not who created the blacks" quote from Theodore Bilbo but I haven't found it. If Ron Paul is as racist as some in the media implies, I would think there would be a few Freudian slips from Mr. Paul. Yet there don't seem to be any that I can find.
There were many on the left who protested against accusations that Obama hated America due to his "spiritual mentor's" incendiary words. I think Barack's tolerance and support for Reverend Wright somewhat parallels Ron Paul's current situation. The views we support and our words do come back to haunt us. But should the possibility of his words alone disqualify Ron Paul? If we're going to judge Ron Paul in the history books as a racist, unfit to lead America in its darkest hour then is it fair for us to examine the words of others in the same light?Ghandi is the icon of civil disobedience. He was the face that inspired millions of Indians seeking independence from the British. But if he were judged by his views on race as the press is doing with Dr Paul he would be excluded from the pages of history as a be-speckled, calm loving pacifist.
Ghandi was a outspoken racist when he lived in South Africa. He had a newsletter called Indian Opinion where he regularly presented his anti black rhetoric such as ...
"...Why, of all places in Johannesburg, the Indian location should be chosen for dumping down all kaffirs (niggers) of the town, passes my comprehension. ...About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians I must confess I feel most strongly. I think it is very unfair to the Indian population, and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen."
Beyond his anti-black rhetoric Ghandi was also rumored to have a slightly deviant perspective with regards to sex. So let me get this straight. If I'm Ghandi I can basically call people niggers (kaffirs), sleep with young girls and still end up being admired by Martin Luther King, become an icon to every peace activist in the world and even get a spot on the Apple "THINK DIFFERENT" commercial. Sounds good to me. If we judge Ron Paul by his newsletters is it safe to say we should judge Ghandi by his as well? Or does the Ron Paul Rule not apply?
We're taught that Winston Churchill was England's brave leader who kept the allied forces inspired with his words and deeds during WW2. Even though many Americans limited perspective of the British is gleaned from watching royal weddings, there are a good many that have learned that Churchill was a man to be admired. If we apply the Ron Paul rule to him however then he too must be disqualified from history as a racist deserving of scorn and not the leader we've been taught about. Churchill once said.
"...I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place"
Is it safe to say that Winston Churchill and Hitler agreed that there were superior and inferior races? It appears that what they disagreed on is who should lord over them.Abraham Lincoln is portrayed as the central hero in the emancipation of black slaves. A hero worthy of his own monument and face on the five dollar bill. However if we use the Ron Paul Rule we should also be told that he felt blacks were a lesser species and unfit for equality with whites?
Wasn't Abraham Lincoln the one that said
"... Your race suffer very greatly, many of them by living amongst us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word, we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated."
Do you in the media ask us to denounce or disregard the words of these men? No and for good reason. They were imperfect men who espoused perfect ideas. As racist as Churchill was I'm happy that he stood shoulder to shoulder with the allies against Hitler. For as racist as Abraham Lincoln was and despite his reluctance to end slavery, he did influence the ending of that institution. Despite his attitudes towards blacks I will always have great respect for Mahatma Ghandi's sacrifice and heroism.
Like these icons of our freedom and peace, Ron Paul's words deserve scrutiny. How one views the world will affect how they govern. Ultimately though, it is his voting record and public statements that are the criteria by which he should be judged. If we vilify Ron Paul we must by definition do the same with Ghandi, Lincoln and dozens of others who are imperfect individuals.
Regardless of the views in those newsletters Ron Paul deserves the same respect afforded to Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama. He's denounced the controversial contents. Let's move on. The words attributed to Ron Paul are no worse than the blatant racism of our accepted icons of virtue. For Ron Paul supporters, civil liberties, ending militarism and fighting against crony capitalism of the Federal Reserve takes precedence over these newsletters for good reason. If we're collectively shackled by debt or perhaps indefinitely detained for speaking our minds in what used to be the freest nation on earth the content of those newsletters won't really matter. In the final analysis, Ron Paul is an imperfect man with a nearly perfect, and very simple message.
Freedom is popular.

Hi Tyranny Fighters:
PROGRESS REPORT, 12–9–11
We are now Living in Stalin's Soviet Union.
The Congress has just passed a bill by overwhelming margins to permit the President to arrest and detain any person indefinitely without a trial whom he deems to be a threat to the country.
1. Already it is the illegal immigrants and the presumed terrorists.
2. Next it will be the militias and gun owners.
3. Then the opposing press and intellectuals.
4. Then a Democrat President will dispose of the far right.
5. Then a Republican President will dispose of the far left.
6. Then come the atheists, Zoroastrians, and Rastafarians.
7. Then the Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Shintos, and Mormons.
8. Then the dissenting Christian clergy.
They will all be used as slave laborers until they die. If they do not die fast enough, then comes the gas chambers. Already the U. S. government is reopening the FEMA camps to house all of the new prisoners.
It only took about 15 years for Stalin and Hitler to accomplish this.
The good news is that I may die before they come for me.
Jury Tampering Case
As many of you know, I am being tried for jury tampering. On Monday, December 12, 2011, at 10:00 am, I was supposed to have a court hearing in front of Judge Kimba Wood at the U. S. District Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York , NY 10007. Presumably the only issue to be discussed was the Constitutionality of the indictment. However the hearing has been postponed, until when or why I do not know.
The U. S. Attorney's position is that:
Jury nullification is legal, but that jurors are not to be informed of this.
It is permissible to distribute my literature in a public forum.
The plaza in front of the courthouse is not a public forum.
All of my pertinent submissions to the Court are posted on my web page at:
http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/j/p/jph13/U._S._v._JPH_in_Manhattan_NY_12_08_11.html
To make sense of this you need two other documents which are attached. They are:
1. Memorandum of Law submitted by Sabrina Shroff
2. Response to her Memorandum by the U. S. Attorney
Chronologically, they precede my letter to Judge Wood and Reply Memorandum of November 29, 2011.
I have prepared a new flyer to distribute at federal courthouses. It appears at the end of this E-mail for your comments.
Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP (c.k.a. Stroock) is an American law firm based in New York City with approximately 350 lawyers in three offices, the other two being in Miami and Los Angeles. Stroock, founded in 1876, maintained an office in Boston from 1996 to 2000 and briefly maintained an office in Budapest as well.
Stroock was named "Law Firm of the Year" by Securitization News in 2005.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroock_%26_Stroock_%26_Lavan
Joel Cohen, a lawyer at Strroock & Stroock and Katherine A. Helm have written an article about jury nullification
(http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202535168513&slreturn=1)
much of which attacks me as a person. Of more concern is their ignorance of the law. They state that: "It is a doctrine that encourages jurors to decide cases irrespective of the law given to jurors during trial." Actually jury nullification does not encourage jurors to decide cases irrespective of the law unless justice is not being served.
They also state "Runaway jury verdicts would amount to little more than a random 12-person vote, where each person could vote their conscience, their pocketbook, a flip of their coin, or what have you." This is a deliberate falsehood. Jury nullification only requires that the issue of justice be predominant. They do not seem to be equally concerned that a judge, prosecuting attorney, the President, or a police officer can dismiss for any reason whatsoever.
They further write: "But, for the U.S. Attorney's Office prosecuting him, on a misdemeanor charge, for violating Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1504 ("Influencing Juror By Writing"), Heicklen was intentionally, and very directly, seeking to impede the legal process by stopping jurors in their tracks." This statement is incorrect for two reasons:
1) The statement in the code says: "influencing juror by writing or sending to him." I do not send stuff to jurors.
2) I do not stop jurors in their tracks. I do not even know who jurors are. I only distribute literature to people that approach me.
They go on to state: "The truth is: That's not the law. Our justice system is based on jurors following the law as instructed by judges. As the 2nd Circuit made exquisitely clear in U.S. v. Thomas, 116 F.3d 606, 614 (2d Cir. 1997):" Actually the Constitutions of both New York and New Jersey require the jury to judge the law as well as the fact. Several U. S. Supreme Court decisions and opinions have upheld this view.
This article is interesting for several reasons. Much of it attacks me as a person, which is irrelevant. The authors are completely ignorant of the Constitutional requirements for the Jury. They incompletely quote a statement in a statute to alter its meaning. They are willing to permit me to discuss my ideas where no jurors are present, in what are often called free speech zones. That is a euphemism which means where no-one interested in the information will be present.
The article was written by a lawyer in the "Law Firm of the Year," a law firm with 350 lawyers and branches in several U. S. cities, presumably with the sanction of that firm. Is this the best that the legal profession can provide?
The Free Dictionary defines judiciary as "A system of courts of law for the administration of justice." Most lawyers and all judges consider the purpose of a judicial system is to uphold the law, when its real purpose is to deliver justice. Law is only the means to that end, not the end in itself.
Michael Allison
Michael Allison was charged with five counts of eavesdropping in Illinois because he took pictures of police making arrests. Each charge carries a 15-year sentence, so Allison could have spent 75 years in prison. Subsequently the charges have been dropped. In 12 states it is a crime to photograph police making arrests.

Subject: Email Congress Today to Put Limits on Federal Bureaucrats
The REINS Act (HR10/S299) is up for debate in the House today and in the Senate next week. Sponsored by Representative Geoff Davis (R-KY) and Senator Rand Paul (RLC-KY), this act will require federal agencies to submit any regulation which would have an annual impact of $100 million or more for a vote of approval by Congress.
The REINS Act would have a big impact in limiting the power of Federal bureaucracies like the EPA and Department of Energy by stopping them from using rules and regulations which have not been passed by Congress to interfere with commerce and impose huge costs and economic burdens on states and businesses.
While we believe that the threshold of harm set in the act is probably too high, this is a good start towards limiting the power of the Federal bureaucracy and stimulating job growth and the economy at no cost and a likely substantial benefit to taxpayers.
Please take a moment today to email your Representative and Senators today and urge them to vote in support of the REINS Act. You can email them with the convenient form
Keep fighting for liberty!

P.S.: You can also watch today's debate of this act on C-SPAN starting at 1:30pm or online at C-SPAN.
P.P.S: If you're as concerned as I am about the direction our country is going and want to change our government by electing Republicans who value liberty and won't sell out our rights in the name of security, please take this opportunity to donate to the RLC or at least renew your membership.

Fw: Policy Brief: Millage Hike Will Tax Property Owners and Patience

Subject: Policy Brief: Millage Hike Will Tax Property Owners and Patience
Policy Brief (Volume 11, Number 63)
Millage Hike Will Tax Property Owners and Patience
(December 7, 2011)--On December 6th, Allegheny County Council voted to increase property taxes by 1 mill, or 21 percent, resulting in a new millage for property owners of 5.69 mills. Sadly, but predictably, this action is consistent with the disconcerting pattern of recent years wherein the Council passes illegal legislation that gets overturned in court.
Under normal circumstances when there is no reassessment pending, a property tax increase by County Council is subject only to the Home Rule Charter language of Article VII, Section 4c which requires "an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the seated members [of Council]". Last night's vote was eleven to four along partisan lines and evidently there will not be a veto from the County Executive.
But in the current situation Act 71 of 2005 takes away the power of the County to boost property taxes by 21 percent without approval of the court. Signed into law by Governor Rendell in November of 2005, it requires that in a reassessment year Allegheny County and its municipalities (school districts are subject to the subsequent Act 1 requirements) change millage rates by an amount that will hold property tax revenue at the previous year's level. After establishing the revenue neutral millage, the taxing body is permitted, "by a separate and specific vote" to increase its millage rate to a level which it brings in up to 5 percent above what it collected the previous year.
Whereas prior to 2005 the County and its taxing bodies were able to take 105 percent of the previous year's revenue in a reassessment year, Act 71 mandates that 105 percent comes in a two-step process. If the County or other taxing bodies want a higher than five percent rise, they must petition the court of common pleas. The Act says the court can approve an increase based "upon good cause shown" by the petitioning taxing body.
Remarks made by the primary sponsor of the law from the floor of the House on September 27th, 2005, distill the statute's intent:
"We make our locally elected officials accountable. No longer can they do the backdoor tax increases with the assessments. They are going to be held accountable by making separate votes for tax increases if they see those are fit…and if they want to make their case to court, that certainly is a public way that they are going to have to justify raising taxes beyond that 5 percent"
In the seventh year after adoption, Act 71 appears to be headed for its first court test.
Using 2011 assessment numbers and the current 4.69 mill tax rate, the County projects $294 million in property taxes—$274 million after homestead exemptions and refunds. With the reassessment proceeding towards implementation in 2012, the County will have to adjust its millage to keep tax collections level with 2011. It would then be permitted to take a separate vote to increase taxes to take in 5 percent above that revenue neutral amount, an amount of roughly $14.0 million. If the County chooses to go after more revenue, it would take the approval of a judge. As to what case the County would make to argue it would have a "good cause" to implement an additional tax increase is anyone's guess, but it is a safe assumption that the reason it would point to would be state and Federal cuts in funding. They might win that case, but it would no doubt drag on as parties filed briefs and debated the case. The 21 percent increase, if allowed to go into effect, would boost revenues by about $60 million.
What is Council thinking? It seems clear that the majority who voted for the tax hike are heavily influenced by the thinking from the incoming County Executive, who formerly served on Council and spent time as Council president.
Do they believe the reassessment is not happening? For most people that would be extremely hard to do since new assessment notices are scheduled to be mailed to property owners in the Pittsburgh Public School District (the City of Pittsburgh and Mt. Oliver) in two weeks' time—something Council has no power to stop. And that creates a real problem for Council because there is no conceivable legal way the City will have new assessments for 2012 but the rest of the County will not.
The new assessments going out on December 19th will require the City to go through steps mandated by Act 71 to hold revenue neutral from 2011 and then to vote for a tax hike of up to 5 percent in a separate vote if they choose to raise taxes. That has to be done very soon in order for tax bills to go out in January. It seems the County Council and the Executive-elect are planning to set aside the new City and Pittsburgh School tax bills in the new year by retroactively rescinding the new assessment numbers for Pittsburgh and Mt. Oliver. Taxpayers and City Council would be overwhelmed by uncertainty and confusion. The City and Schools would have to take out tax anticipation loans, which is the primary reason Judge Wettick ordered the City assessments to be completed first. A rescission of the new City assessments by the County would obviously run dramatically afoul of the Judge's orders.
Are they taking the arrogant stance that Act 71 does not apply and that the County can ignore it? The Executive-elect has argued that the County can raise taxes now for 2012 and if there is a reassessment, the revenue neutral calculation would be based on 2011 revenue raised by 21 percent. But that is a ludicrous argument. To be revenue neutral compared to the 2011 collection can only mean revenue neutral relative to the actual amount of 2011 revenue, not the 2011 level artificially raised after the fact by applying a retroactive tax hike. Thus, the incoming Executive's argument is likely to be unpersuasive when a judge hears it. The authors of Act 71 cannot possibly have envisioned the language of the bill being so tortured and misused.
Does Council believe the Supreme Court will overturn its decision on the base year? The Supreme Court deliberated long and hard over its ruling and heard all the arguments that could have been raised by County attorneys. Their decision will almost certainly not be revisited. A revision of a Court decision in such a short period is extraordinarily rare—if it has in fact ever happened.
Moreover, the incoming Executive's reading of the Supreme Court ruling is in error when he argues the Court should have tossed out base year assessments for all counties. The Court ruled only that the base year as applied in Allegheny County violated the uniformity clause and that it could not set aside another county's base year system unless or until there was a convincing legal challenge in such a county showing the uniformity clause was being violated.
Incredibly, the incoming Executive is now arguing that the courts should not have the power to force the County to do something its elected officials and the majority of voters do not want and therefore, the County is within its rights to ignore the courts. One wonders if he believes the rights of the minority as contained in and protected by the Constitution of Pennsylvania can be trampled on any time the majority decides they are not interested in minority rights or the court rulings that uphold those rights. The correct position for an elected official is to honor one's oath to obey, defend and protect the Constitution and obey the laws of the state and court decisions based on those laws. It is honorable to work on changing the Constitution and the laws following prescribed processes if that is the will of the majority but until that happens the Constitution as written is the controlling legal document. Abandoning that principle is to abandon the rule of law, on which our entire societal and economic structures depend.
Does Council think the General Assembly will intervene? The Legislature adopted the concept of the base year assessment and it will have to change that law. Up to this point there has been virtually no appetite in the Legislature to reform the state's assessment and property taxation laws to bring the Commonwealth into the 20th century. It would seem unlikely they are about to undo the base year statute any time soon. No doubt they should for a number of reasons, but it is a political firestorm waiting to happen and few wished to get burned. So, for now it is more comfortable to let the courts do the work.
And if the Executive-elect expects the Legislature to write a bill setting aside the Supreme Court ruling he will be disappointed. There is little or no prospect that the Legislature will write such a bill. Such an act would create a constitutional crisis in the state by destroying the balance and separation of power of the three branches of government.
As matters now stand, the Council's tax hike is almost certainly headed to court. Indeed, it would be useful for the Judge to issue an injunction against the County's tax increase pending the completion of the reassessment on the grounds that it will create enormous confusion and delays in a process that has already dragged on for years and has perpetuated the inequities in the assessment errors that have been in place for a decade. One can only imagine the turmoil if the Executive-elect follows through on his pledge to refuse to certify and mail out the new assessments even though new assessments are available and the County is under a Supreme Court order to do so. Will the judge hold the Executive in contempt and have him arrested?
One thing is sure, Allegheny County is about to witness property tax chaos if the Council raises the millage rate by 21 percent and refuses to carry out the Supreme Court's order to reassess.

Fw: Stop Indefinite Military Detention of US Citizens
Subject: RLC Action Alert: Stop Indefinite Military Detention of US Citizens
Act Now to Stop Another Attack on Your Rights
Don't Give the Military the Power to Detain US Citizens Indefnitely
They're at it again. The Senate is about to pass a bill which will take away more of our most fundamental, constitutionally guaranteed rights in the name of the ever expanding security state. We think it's time to tell them "NO" and take action to protect those rights.
If the new Defense Authorization bill passes it will actually authorize the military will to arrest US Citizens within the United States and hold them indefinitely without charge or trial in military prisons or try them before military courts without the protections guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
Within a couple of days the U.S. Senate will vote on the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA) which was written and passed through committee in secret. It includes two sections which would change laws on military detention to authorize the military to imprison almost anyone without due process of law or any respect for their civil liberties, including Americans in foreign countries and those living in the United States. Those detained by the military under this law could be held indefinitely without charge or trial and they could end up in military courts instead of civilian courts.
The NDAA is almost certain to pass with strong bipartisan support. We don't have the votes to stop it, though some RLC endorsees like Sen. Rand Paul oppose many sections of the bill. It is likely that it will hit the Senate floor in the next few days with the backing of powerful Republicans like John McCain, who authored this unconstitutional expansion of military authority, who will be pushing to pass it without revision.
You may think that this sort of insane legislation which totally undermines our Constitutionally protected rights can't be real. You may find it hard to believe that most Republicans are supporting it. You may not think this could happen in your America. Yet this outrage is entirely real. I urge you to read the contents of S.1867 (PDF), particularly sections 1031 and 1032, and see for yourself.
While the RLC also objects to other aspects of this bill, we probably can't stop the entire bill from passing, but there is at least a way to oppose these particularly horrendous provisions and get them removed from the bill. Senator Mark Udall has offered an amendment (#1107) which would strike sections 1031 and 1032 and protect our rights.
Please urge your Senators to protect our rights and the Constitution and oppose sections 1031 and 1032 of the Defense Authorization bill by voting for the Udall Amendment.
You can do this by using the email form on our website.
If you're as concerned as I am about the direction our country is going and want to change our government by electing Republicans who value liberty and won't sell out our rights in the name of security, please take this opportunity to donate to the RLC or at least renew your membership.
Thank you for standing up for liberty.

Subject: What Cuts?
Dear Liberty Activist,
If you missed Tuesday night's debate on CNN, there's something you need to know.
All seven of my opponents stood up on stage and applauded Big Government - asked for more of it, in fact.
So your choice is clear.
With just over five weeks left until voters begin going to the polls, if you want a President who will FIGHT for less government and lower spending, then I must ask for your support right away.
You see, Newt Gingrich – who previously warned of the dangers of the Patriot Act - now wants it expanded.
He wants amnesty, too – to keep American citizens footing the bill for government services for illegal immigrants.
The others were falling all over themselves to launch more undeclared TRILLION-dollar wars on Iran, or perhaps Pakistan, or maybe even Syria.
Of course, they all want more military spending, even though we're already spending almost one TRILLION dollars per year – an amount nearly equal to what the entire rest of the world spends!
But that certainly hasn't stopped the chicken-little stories from my opponents about supposed "defense cuts"!
Even Mitt Romney tried to pull the wool over our eyes.
I set him straight. NOTHING is being cut in Washington. PERIOD.
Believe me, I've tried!
All Congress is arguing about is how much to increase spending.
But when hundreds of billions of dollars just aren't "enough" for my opponents' favorite agencies, their answer is to howl in pain.
Liberty Activist, isn't this the game the liberals play?
I guess we've learned to expect as much over the years from them.
But isn't it downright disgusting when Republican candidates for President stoop to that level?
After all, we're over $15 TRILLION in debt.
When are my opponents going to get serious?
Unfortunately, that's exactly what's lacking in these debates so far – seriousness.
And that's why the establishment of BOTH parties is so scared of me.
You see, they know I am serious about balancing the budget in three years.
They know I will cut ONE TRILLION in spending my first year.
And they know NONE of their sacred cows are safe.
If we don't need it or can't afford it, it doesn't matter what department of government we're talking about.
Sure, the establishment will scream and holler that we need MORE money to keep our country safe.
But the simple fact is, if we had a constitutional foreign policy – and if we stopped nation-building and policing the world - our nation would be much safer and spend much LESS money at the same time.
Our troops understand that fact.
That's why I've received more money from members of the military than all of my Republican opponents COMBINED.
But sadly, my establishment opponents just don't seem to get it.
They want more spending, more government, and more debt.
You and I both know we can't afford politics as usual any longer.
You and I both know maintaining the big spending, Big Government status quo will only lead to our nation's ruin.
But I'm the ONE candidate who is serious about fixing our problems.
I'm the ONE candidate who will change our foreign policy to strengthen our national defense while ending these wars.
I'm the ONE candidate who will fight to end welfare to illegal immigrants AND secure our border.
And I'm the ONE candidate who will take power BACK from government, not scream to give more to it.
But I must be able to count on your generous financial support if I'm going to win the Republican nomination.
My campaign is in crunch time right now.
As I mentioned, it's just over five weeks until voters start going to the caucuses and polls to begin selecting the next Republican nominee for President.
In these final weeks, my campaign is launching an all-out voter contact blitz with TV ads, direct mail, and boots on the ground in both Iowa and New Hampshire.
With polls showing me statistically tied for first in Iowa and clearly in second in New Hampshire, you and I must make our big push right now.
So please make your most generous contribution TODAY to my campaign.
Whatever you can give, I'll put to IMMEDIATE use getting my message of liberty to the voters.
We're so close. I believe the time is right, and you and I have the message to win.
So please make your most generous contribution TODAY!
Together, we can Restore America Now!
For Liberty,
P.S. Every one of my opponents during Tuesday night's debate was demanding more government.
Some are even falsely claiming military spending is being cut!
But the only thing being debated in Washington, D.C. right now is how fast spending will increase!
I'm the only candidate in this race who is serious about cutting spending. And if we don't need it or can't afford it, it doesn't matter what department it's in.
But with just over five weeks left until voters begin going to the polls, I must be able to count on your financial support if I'm going to win the Republican nomination for President.
So please contribute whatever you are able TODAY!

Isaac and the Akedah
On November 22, 2018 June 8, 2020 By missionmusingsIn Missions as Vocation
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!"
"Here I am," he replied.
2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you." -Genesis 22:1-2
The Talmudic rabbis were fascinated by the Akedah (The Binding of Isaac) and analyzed so many aspects of the story seeking to understand motivations and ethics of God and Abraham. St. Paul utilized the story to support the argument that "the just shall live by faith"— even Abraham was declared righteous by his faith. Kierkegaard, in "Fear and Trembling" took the story to point to a "leap of faith." I can't argue against the importance of the story. Abraham agrees to do the unthinkable because God told him to. We like to know why Abraham agreed. The writer of Hebrews gives an answer— but a rational justification doesn't quite give the full picture I think.
But I am more interested with Isaac. Commentators differ, but it is pretty clear that Isaac was most likely a teenager or a young adult. And Abraham? Well, he was old. Really old. In the story in Genesis 22 it states that Abraham left his servants behind and went up the mountain with Isaac alone.
Isaac almost certainly was a willing party. It became clear to him, eventually, that there was no sacrifice except for himself. Isaac could have run, easily outrunning his father. He could have fought back, easily overpowering Abraham. But he didn't. He allowed himself to be tied up. He may have even helped his dad place himself on the altar.
Why would he do that? I don't think he did it as an act of obedience to God. It could be, but Isaac is not used as the ultimate example of faith and devotion to God, Abraham is.
Abraham was devoted to God, but Isaac was devoted to his dad. That has a beauty to it, but a weighty thought for a dad.
As a parent involved in missions, I recall back in 2004 when my wife and I acted on our calling and got on a plane to go to the Philippines. We brought our three children with me. Our two youngest— ages 7 and 5— had no idea where we were going. They just went willingly where we went. In a three month period, we went from a very nice house in the suburbs, to sharing one room in a relatives house in the US, to sharing a tiny place in the international dorm of a seminary in the Philippines. Over the next few years, our children were bullied by kids who saw our children as "foreign." They grew up to feel like outsiders wherever they live. All three of them had atopic dermatitis— possibly triggered by the air pollution problems here. None have died, praise God. Two of three are over their physical problems.
Maybe their living in a different country helped them. Maybe they are better for the experience. I would like to think so, but I don't know. We are not privy to the results of paths not taken.
But that is not the point. We came here because of God… but they didn't. They came because of us.
That is a burden. Abraham in the end did not sacrifice Isaac. I do wonder how that affected their relationship. Did it strengthen it? Did it weaken it? I don't know, but it certainly changed it.
To me, the most interesting thing regarding the Akedah, the binding of Isaac, was that he was a willing party. He did it not for God but for his dad. More than interesting, though— as a dad, it is scary.

You're applying for an IT position you desperately want. With years of experience in your field and meeting the job requirements, you've got every chance of being the successful candidate, you just need to convince the appointing employer that you're the right person for the job.
A CV is one of the first and most important components of the job application process. Its purpose is to secure you an interview. Naturally, it needs to stand out and sparkle to ensure your application goes to the next stage.
You could be the perfect candidate for the job. You just know the hiring manager would hire you on the spot if they could just spend five minutes with you. But if another candidate's CV looks better than yours, you will never get the opportunity to show them how fantastic you really are.
Knowing what to include and what not to include on your CV will help your application get off to a flying start and put you closer to securing an interview and ultimately the job.
To give you a helping hand, take a look at our guide below, at what you should and should not include on your CV when applying for an IT or digital role.
If you are applying for a job through a recruitment consultant, the only personal information you need on your CV is your name and location. If you're submitting a direct application, you should also include your email address and telephone number.
This is often the section candidates struggle with the most. What do employers want to see in this section? Well, have you ever been told that you should tailor your CV to the role you are applying for? Your introduction gives you the perfect opportunity to do just that.
Let's say you're applying to a job advert with a company who are looking for a .NET Developer with at least 2 years' commercial experience. Tailor your Introduction to suit the role by stating how long you have been a .NET Developer and giving an example of what you used it to achieve. This demonstrates that not only do you satisfy their minimum requirements in terms of experience but that you also understand the commercial applications of .NET.
If you don't want to tailor your CV to each role you apply for, you can always keep your introduction brief and submit a cover letter or addendum along with your application.
As well as including any IT or digital skills, such as the programs and languages you have worked with, include interpersonal skills that will help your application stand out, such as knowledge of a second language, communication and project management skills.
It might sound obvious, but if you are applying for a Java Developer position, your CV should include your experience working as a Java Developer. Never take for granted that because you are applying for a role with a particular technology that the hiring manager will assume this is what you do. Concisely list the languages and skills you have used, such as knowledge of MySQL Databases and Docker, to show the employer you are a well-rounded Java Developer with hordes of relevant experience.
If you're applying for a graduate job which stipulates a minimum requirement of a 2:1, this should feature prominently on your CV including details of the University you attended and your result. As you progress throughout your career, your qualifications become less relevant than your experience but you should still include any which are relevant to the job.
If applying for a job as a Business Analyst, you probably don't need to mention a certificate in Aromatherapy that you took as an extra curricular activity whilst at University.
Lengthy CVs that waffle and include irrelevant information such as where you did your first paper round will show a lack of professionality, business acumen and simply won't present you in the best of lights to a potential employer.
Instead, list your most recent position first and work back in chronological order, focusing on jobs within IT or digital.
Stating which technologies you have used in each position helps the hiring manager to build a clear picture of how your career has developed over time.
State simply that 'references are available upon request' rather than listing your referees' full details. Remember to have referees at the ready if your application does go further and try and make sure your references are relevant to IT or digital.
Your CV includes a lot of detailed information about who you are. If it fell into the wrong hands, information such as your postal address, passport number, date of birth or NI number could be used to steal your identity. There is no reason anyone should need to know these details for a job application anyway so don't include them.
You might be a life-long member of a hiking association but if the job in question is related to hiking (and IT jobs typically aren't) then don't waste valuable space on your CV with such information. On the other hand, if you'e a developer and lead a coding club for kids in your spare time, this would definitely be worth a mention.
Any personal information you include should be tied in somehow to IT or the organisation's products or services.
Avoid making unexplained gaps in employment a feature of your CV. Provide easy-to-read, digestible, chronological employment information, so the employer can see at a glance your entire employment history in recent years.
Never leave the interviewer guessing about your employment history or about any other information on your CV for that matter. If you have taken a year out to go travelling, or to take care of an elderly relative, make sure you explain this.
A CV laden with typos, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors won't do you any favours whatsoever and will merely present you in an unprofessional and idle light.
Before submitting your CV, ensure it is void of typos and spelling mistakes and only uses the Queen's finest English.
You should always be able to back up anything you include in your CV with practical examples. We've already discussed grammar above but it's worth reiterating here. If you claim to have excellent communication skills, your spelling and grammar needs to be on point. The same goes for bragging about having impeccable organisation skills, the layout of your CV should be neat with a consistent fonts used for headings and body text.
Whether you're single, married, co-habiting or divorced doesn't matter when applying for a job so avoid including such information on your CV.
It is not standard practice in the UK to include a picture on your CV. The only reason a hiring manager might need a picture of you is for identification purposes. If they do, they will ask for it.
It can be appropriate for a digital professional who wants to show off their creative skills to include a picture. If you're not applying for a creative digital role, it's not a good idea to waste valuable space that could be used to convey relevant information.
CVs need to be punchy and straight to the point. Wasting valuable space writing a lengthy and meaningless introduction, which virtually sums up what is provided in the employment and qualification sections, should be avoided.
Once you submit your CV to one of our consultants, we will go through it with you in detail to make sure it includes everything we know the hiring manager will be expecting to see. If anything is missing, we will ask you to submit an addendum or a cover letter. We want you to have the best possible chance of landing your dream job whilst making sure there are no nasty surprises in your interview.
If you're looking to make your next career move in IT or digital, Adria Solutions can help you find the perfect role. Our team of experienced recruitment consultants can also give you job application tips and advice, including how to spruce up your CV. Get in touch with the Adria team today.

After teaching all day, I would come home famished. I would snack and snack to try and find just the right food to ease my hunger and tiredness. Moving from one food to the next, nothing seemed to help.
One day the answer became quite evident. The reason I experienced such a feeling of hunger came from not eating the right kinds of food in the first place. I would eat whatever was convenient not necessarily healthy.
When I changed to a healthier diet of more protein less carbs and sugar, I really and truly did not feel as hungry or tired any more when I got home as I had in the past. I did not need to search the pantry for that magic snack to make me feel better.
What would happen to my spiritual life if I acted in the same way? What if I sacrificed time with God for unhealthy TV shows or other activities which got in the way? How long would it be before my relationship with God would suffer just as my physical health did?
Not spending the quality time with God in Bible study, prayer, and worship would be just as devastating to my spiritual well-being as the poor choices in my diet made in my physical well-being. My longing for Him would soon become just as evident as my hunger for food.
I must allow Him to nourish our relationship. I cannot do that if I allow needless activities to interfere. To feel healthy spiritually helps the rest of my life stay in synch. It makes me spiritually full not famished.
Thank you, Lord for standing by me guiding me, leading me, relating to me. Help me to submit to you more every day.

Q1. Are students required to be potty trained before they can attend The Little School?
Students enrolled in the 2 year old classes do not need to be potty trained. The teachers encourage students to use the potty throughout the class period and work with students who are in the process of being potty trained.
Students registered in the 3-4 year old and 4-5 year old classes are expected to be potty trained. Teachers frequently remind 3 year olds to use the bathroom.
Q2. How many students are in each class?
The ratio of teachers to students is normally 1:7 for the 2-3 year old classes; 1:10 for the 3-4 year old classes; 1:10 for the 4-5 year old classes.
Q3. Is a school uniform required?
A school uniform is NOT required. The children are encouraged to wear "play clothes" as they experience "hands-on" learning. Tennis shoes are preferred.
Q4. What are the qualifications of the teaching staff?
The Director of The Little School and all Lead Teachers have a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree in addition to graduate work in the field of Early Childhood Education. The teachers have professional training and broad experience in working with young children. All staff members continually attend workshops and conferences and/or pursue graduate work to increase their knowledge in the field of Early Childhood Education.
Q5. Do I have to live in the Ascension Parish boundaries in order to register?
No. Catholic families from all parishes are welcome to enroll their children in The Little School. Current students are given an opportunity to register before enrollment is open to the community.
Q6. What is the difference between the 4-5 year old four and five morning classes?
offers smaller class size for smaller group and one-on-one individualized instruction.
offers challenging academic curriculum and the opportunity for structure without putting these students in the Kindergarten environment.
ensures that children master certain social, emotional and physical milestones before they enter a more academic Kindergarten program.
The Little School is a center-based school with focus on socialization. Our cross-categorical curriculum saturates the student with literature, art, music, science, math, and every type of play. In addition, age appropriate Spanish material is introduced in all classes at The Little School.
When a Little School graduate enters Kindergarten, he/she will be a more confident learner and ready for the many challenging elementary years that lie ahead.
Q7. Lunch Bunch or Enrichment?
Lunch Bunch and Enrichment are both offered Mondays through Thursdays. Lunch Bunch and Enrichment are separate programs. All students that stay after the "11:45 pick up" (Lunch Bunch and Enrichment) participate together in gross motor activities - either on The Little School playground or in the gym - during the dismissal process 11:45am until 12:20pm. Then they split into 2 groups in different classrooms for lunch and the rest of the afternoon.
Lunch Bunchers bring lunch from home or purchase lunch from the cafeteria at an additional cost. Lunch Bunchers eat in the 4-5Yellow Room with the Lunch Bunch teachers and head to carpool between 12:55 and 1:00pm for dismissal. The cost for each Lunch Bunch session is $10. Payment is separate from tuition and payable via cash or check. Lunch Bunch is convenient because you can pick any day. 24 hour notice is required for Lunch Bunch. Children ages 2 (by July 31) and up are welcome to attend Lunch Bunch.
Enrichment class students also bring lunch from home or purchase lunch from the cafeteria at an additional cost. Enrichment class students eat in the 4-5Blue Room with the Enrichment class teachers. Enrichment is a class environment with the same students attending each afternoon. Enrichment is available to children ages 3 (by July 31) and up. Each Enrichment class is limited to 20 students. Some students are enrolled in all four afternoons of Enrichment. Some students are enrolled in three afternoons of Enrichment, some two afternoons, and some just one afternoon. Dismissal for Enrichment class is at 2:30pm and can be extended to 2:55pm, especially for students with siblings in Ascension School, at an additional cost of $5/day or $15/week. Enrichment tuition is paid monthly with morning class tuition.
Q8. How do I know if The Little School is closed in inclement weather?
The Little School is on the same "campus" as Ascension School Chesterfield. Therefore, if Ascension School (the Big School) is closed due to inclement weather, The Little School is closed. An email is sent to Little School families and/or it will be posted on The Little School website if school is closed due to inclement weather.
Q9. Does The Little School offer before and after school child care?
Drop off is available at 7:30am Monday through Friday mornings when both The Little School and Ascension K-8 School are in session. Enrichment classes dismiss at 2:30 pm Monday through Thursday (2:55 for those with siblings in Ascension School.) All classes dismiss at 11:45 am on Friday. Child care is not offered before or after these times.
Q10. I see the Little School students entering and leaving the Little Church each day. What are they doing?
The Little Schoolers are visiting Jesus in the Tabernacle. This is a custom in the Catholic Church that shows our belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine. We visit Jesus to thank him for the many gifts that He has given us, to ask Him for the things we need, and to tell Him that we love Him. This visit to Jesus is preparation for the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Genuflecting in church is a sign of respect and humility to God. We bless ourselves with holy water to cleanse ourselves of venial sin (mortal sin needs confession) and to help us realize that we are in the presence of God. Ascension Parish is very fortunate to have the Little Church open for conversation with Our Lord 24-7. Every Thursday the Holy Eucharist is exposed on the altar for adoration from 8:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Consider making a visit to Jesus with your children and explaining the Stations of the Cross that hang on the walls of both churches. You are welcome to join your child in the Little Church during class time. Ask your child's teacher for the time of the Little Church visit.
Q11. Why does The Little School calendar differ from the Ascension School (K-8) calendar on some occasions?
The Little School and Ascension School (K-8) are both closed on Holy Days, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Thanksgiving Day and the day after Thanksgiving each school year.
All students K-8 students attend school Monday through Friday. Little Schoolers only attend school on the days they are enrolled (i.e. MW, TTh, MWF, M-Th, and M-F.) Many of The Little Schoolers only attend school in the morning. If The Little School followed Ascension School's calendar, the students would miss far too many days in school. Routine is essential in early childhood education for a child's development.
Ascension School is closed for Parent Teacher Conferences. The Little School classes are in session during Parent Teacher Conferences.
Siblings of The Little School students do not all attend Ascension School.
It would NOT be cost effective, nor fair to The Little School parents, if The Little School was closed the same dates as Ascension School.
Q12. Why doesn't The Little School offer a 3 morning option for 4-5 year olds?
Consistency and routine is very important for preparing a child for kindergarten.
Children have more opportunities for enriching hands-on, academic preparation and development of social skills when in a classroom environment.
Most Kindergarten programs are 5 full days (at the very least 5 half-days.) A child who attends The Little School's M-Th or M-F classes the year prior to Kindergarten is well prepared.
Teachers agree that the academic requirements of Kindergarten have changed. What used to be expected in Kindergarten has now become a large part of the Pre-K/JK curriculum; thus more classroom time is needed.
Q13. Where is the MPR located?
The Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) is located in the Ascension School building. There is a separate entrance to the MPR located to the right as you face the Main Entrance to Ascension School (look for the statue of our Blessed Mother, Mary).
Q14. Is there a multiple student discount?
The Registration/Supply Fee is discounted to a per "family" fee versus a per "child" fee. In order to meet the requirements for student:teacher guidelines, enrollment in each class is limited. Therefore, we are not able to offer discounts for monthly tuition since The Little School was establish to be self-supporting.


Home Finance Business Line of Credit—What is It?
This is a financial borrowing agreement between the bank or other financial institution and the business. Many times a business will use this type of credit for unexpected expenses, buying seasonal inventory, to expand their business, buy new equipment, and more. The terms and how large the line of credit will be will vary according to the success and size of the business, current financial market, and regulations of the bank.
There are many different reasons why having a business line of credit can be an asset to the business. For example, if a business wants to expand their operations or purchase new equipment to manufacture a new product, a business line of credit will allow the business to pay for the construction of a new building or production lines, and cover any expenses before the expansion or new production line is completed. For those businesses that are considered seasonal like shops that sell swimsuits or other summer items, it will help them pay expenses during the off season when business is slow.
For most business lines of credit they are considered unsecured. This means that the business does not have to have any collateral to get the line of credit. This helps if the business does not have enough collateral to cover regular business loans or do not want to put up personal or business property to get a loan and risk losing it if they cannot repay the loan. The terms of the business line of credit may be determined by the revenue success of the business. The revenue success of the business can also determine the amount of the line of credit.
This type of credit is very different from a loan in regards to the repayment options. With business loans Sydney, the money will be given in a lump sum with the borrower being responsible for making monthly payments until the load is paid off, generally within a certain time. With a business line of credit it is considered a revolving loan and is available for the business to withdraw from in any amount that is needed up to the maximum amount on the line of credit. The business is then only responsible each month to repay the amount that has been borrowed. On business loans the interest rates can be flexible or fixed but with a line of credit the interest rates will vary depending on the market, meaning they are flexible. In addition, with business loans you have to apply for new ones but with business lines of credit you just have to renew them on the date specified.

RO-MANIA is sweeping our roads!
Budget brand Dacia announced this week that it has now sold THREE MILLION in 10 years in Europe.
While they started selling in Europe with the Logan in 2004, Dacia launched in the UK in 2012, selling 35,000 cars in a year.
Also, during the first half of 2014, Dacia registered the biggest increase in sales of any brand on sale in Europe, at over 36 per cent.
It all started in the UK with the dirt-cheap Duster SUV and the firm has celebrated its milestone with a new facelifted version.
The Romanian firm, owned by Renault, has built up a cult following of VFM owners.
But Dacia is not wallowing in its success. It swiftly followed up the Duster with the UK's cheapest car, the Sandero supermini at £5,995.
Then came the Logan MCV estate at £6,995 and there are plans for an even cheaper city car, based on the Renault Twingo for 2015.
Now the Duster has been given a midlife clean- up. It is on sale now from £9,495 — rising to £15,495 for the Laureate 4×4.
It's got an even classier look inside and out. The biggest difference is that the chrome front grille has two layers of four intakes and there are Duster-branded roof bars and a black tailgate bar.
It doesn't match rivals like the Ford Kuga or Mazda CX-5 for refinement. It's a supple, comfortable ride but there is body roll in corners. But that won't bother owners who just love the value.
There are two engines and both two and four-wheel-drive layouts.
The entry-level Access at £9,495 gets a 105bhp 1.6litre petrol engine only, but Ambiance and Laureate versions are powered by a 1.5litre dCi diesel.
The diesel will return an average of 56.5mpg and emit just 130g/km. That's only slightly worse than the Ford EcoSport diesel — but you have to fork out £11,495 at least for a diesel model.
It's pretty sparse. This new version gets new upholstery and seats but still has the look of a car from the former Eastern bloc bought in the late 70s.
But you can spec it up. Forget air-con unless you have the top-spec version and colours are restricted to United Nations White.
However, there are a number of accessory packs. The £600 Protection Pack provides rear parking sensors, floor mats, an alarm, mudguards and a bootliner is a must.
A 7in touchscreen sat nav, which also provides Bluetooth and USB connectivity, is decent value at £300, but it's only available on the Laureate.
You can also get leather upholstery at £995 — but spending that much sort of defeats the object on a budget brand car.

By Dženana Vucic | 1 October 2020
I want to write a poem that explains the algorithmic slides that turned Karadžiću, vodi Srbe svoje into Remove Kebab when even google translate knows the difference; but how do you explain Dat Face Soldier backdropped by our dying and frontpaged to 800 plus threads on r slash The underscore Donald? What line connects wolves to kebabs, and how did we get from Bihac to Petrovca sela to Christchurch? Twenty years is a long march, even walking to that boppy beat.
I want to write a poem that explains how one genocide begets another becomes another betrays another and all that changes is what we call it and what we call them and what we call us; but first I need to know: is there a difference between a turk and a turk and do all wolves carry guns? If I tell you that ustaše means fascist, does that change what side of this war you're on? Which way does your trumpet swing and will you die for your führer if it means dying with us?
I want to write a poem that explains what happened when the wolves came, how they had packed away their instruments and pulled out their guns and how hardness came to settle on all our faces; but Karadžić got there first and it turns out genocide is not just aspirational, it's inspirational. five books since the war started and you'd think someone would think again but convictions prove thin when there's money to be made and there's always someone to appeal to.
I want to write a poem that explains a hundred thousand deaths, one point five million unhomed, up to fifty thousand raped and 9 million youtube views; but what can we do with this kind of history, the kind that playlists manifestos and turns people into bad meat. because it is one thing to be a man trapped in a war machine with nothing but an accordion and teeth to grit, but it is quite another to be the war machine, digitized.
I want to write a poem but our history is all references that make no sense and how do we remember ourselves when our selves are turned sheep, rewritten by wolves.
The white supremacist terrorist who shot and killed 51 mosque attendees in Christchurch in 2019 played a song from the Bosnian war in his car on the way to the shootings. This song, 'Karadžiću, vodi Srbe svoj', and its accompanying video had become a far-right meme under the name 'Remove Kebab'. The music video features four Serbian soldiers, one singing, one playing the keyboard, another the trumpet and the last the accordion. The accordionist has a hard, stiff expression and has become known as 'Dat Face Soldier'. The video also shows emaciated Bosniak/Muslim men in a Serbian concentration camp. Prior to be taking down from youtube, it had accrued 9 million views.
Karadžić is a war criminal found guilty of genocide, persecution, extermination, deportation, forcible transfer, and murder. He was a key figure in the Srebrenica massacre which saw 8000 men and boys slaughtered over three days. After the war, he went into hiding and was not arrested until 2008. In 2016 he was found guilty and given a forty-year sentence. In 2019, his appeal was denied, and his sentence increased to life.
He has published a number of books of poetry, including one directly before the war, two during, and three while in hiding.
The song 'Karadžiću, vodi Srbe svoje' is a piece of propaganda produced during the Bosnian War. It asks Karadžić to lead his fearless Serbs and warns the 'ustaše' and 'turci' that the wolves are coming, to beware. 'Ustaše' is a derogatory term for Croatians. It means 'fascist' and refers to Croats who collaborated with the Nazis during the second world war. 'Turci' is the Serbo-Croatian word for 'Turks' and is used as a slur for Bosniaks, Bosnian Muslims. The title of this poem comes from a line in the song. It means 'the wolves are coming'.

Q: Plotar 2 graficos em um e eixos y com escalas diferentes Olá, mestres da analise de dados
Estou com um problema em plotar dois graficos com diferentes escalas no eixo y, da esquerda representa unidade e o da direita representa Dia.
Tentei achar alguma informação sobre isso, a maior parte da informação que encontrei foi em alguns do stack US. Um desses posts usava esse código:
 scale_y_continuous( sec.axis = sec_axis(~ . /100, name = "Dia")

Pelo o que entendi, o ggplot2 não dá uma função pronta esse tipo de gráfico e tem que fazer uma gambiarra usando a configuração do eixo Y da esquerda também na direita, apenas reduizndo a os valores da esquerda em /100. Daí fiz esse código:
ggplot(tab.OpTT)+
 geom_area(aes(x = Dia, y = v1, group = 1), fill = "darkviolet")+
 geom_area(aes(x = Dia, y = v2, group = 1), fill = "violet", alpha =
 0.7)+
 geom_area(aes(x = Dia, y = v3, group = 1), fill = "lightblue", alpha
 = 0.8)+
 geom_line( data = tab.OpTT  %>% filter(y=="Dias"), aes(x = Dia, y =
 TMR*100, group = 1), color = "darkblue", linetype=7)+
 geom_line( data = tab.OpTT  %>% filter(y=="Dias"), aes(x = Dia, y =
 AME*100, group = 1), color = "pink", linetype = 5)+
 labs(x = "Período de 05/02 á 18/02", y = "Chamadas", title = "teste 5")+
 scale_x_date(breaks=seq(min(tab.OpTT$Dia), max(tab.OpTT$Dia), by="1 day"),
 date_labels="%d/%b", minor_breaks=seq(min(tab.OpTT$Dia), max(tab.OpTT$Dia),
 by="1 month"))+
 scale_y_continuous( sec.axis = sec_axis(~. /100, name = "Dia")+
 theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))+

Mais frustrante é que quand executa essa linha que fiz anterior, nada ocorre ou nem dá algum erro.
tirei informação desses links:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43942002/geom-line-with-different-y-axis-scale
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45855242/plot-with-2-y-axes-with-different-scale-on-a-single-plot-using-ggplot2
( este ultimo link é uma gabiarra master)

A: Consegui sanar a minha dúvida.
A resolução que encontrei em site, realiza essa plotagem em ggplot2 de um gráfico com dois eixos "y" e cada um deles com escalas diferentes. Recomendo também para quem teve o mesmo problema que eu tive (mais ainda quem irá usar em app web), tente primeiro o googleVis, por que é possivel realizar essa plotagem sem uso de "Gambiarras" e de um modo geral é mais fácil de fazer.

(Link da resolução)
Neste caso, não irei detalhar a resolução, pois o site que citei tem uma melhor didática no passo a passo (infelizmente está em ingês) e disponibilizo meu código comentado para tirar qualquer dúvidas.

Os dados estão em um antigo post meu e não coloquei aqui para não ficar longo o post. Segue link para acessar: Ordenamento de Datas ggplot2
Resultado foi:
