Will The Real Sasquatch Please Stand Up?
It's tall, furry, reclusive, and tree-hugging. Long considered to be a myth, we're going to prove that the elusive sasquatch does, in fact, exist.
We read Larf by Ashley Spires (Kids Can Press, 2012). Larf is a sasquatch. The only sasquatch in the world. He likes his quiet life in the woods with his bunny, Eric. But one day, while reading the newspaper, Larf learns that a sasquatch is scheduled to make an appearance at a nearby city. Another sasquatch? Despite his love for solitude, Larf decides to brave the trip to see if there is someone like him. Navigating the city (with Eric in a baby bjorn), Larf is scared, anxious, self-conscious, and full of doubts. But he sticks it out, and discovers that the sasquatch is…a fake. Disappointed, Larf is waiting for the bus to take him home, when someone compliments him on his bunny. Lo and behold! It's another sasquatch! Shurl (with her companion bird, Patricia) came to the city thinking she was the only sasquatch. It looks like the two loners, are not longer lonely!
The trickiest part of the this project is getting the sasquatch to balance on its paper towel tube legs. Other than that, it's very simple, and the templates for all the project parts can be found on the sasquatch parts template. You'll need lots of construction paper fringes too.
We'll build from the bottom up! Trace two feet from the template onto tagboard, card board, or heavy-duty poster board. Hot glue the feet to the bottom of a pair of paper towel tubes, then wrap the tubes with several rows of brown construction paper fringe. Use markers to add toenails if you'd like.
Set the legs aside for a moment. Wrap an oatmeal container with brown construction paper. Add a fringe of brown construction paper around the bottom of the container like a skirt. Trace the face and ears from the template onto light brown construction paper, then tape or glue them to the container. Add eyes, eyebrows, and draw a nose and mouth. Add brown construction paper fringes around the face and head.
Larf wears a scarf in the book, so we added a scarf (and a t-shirt) to our sasquatches. The t-shirt was a 5″ x 18″ piece of white construction paper. Kids used markers to draw a design on the t-shirt, then wrapped it around the middle of the oatmeal container. The scarf was a 27″ piece of crepe paper streamer (fringed on the ends of course). Some kids made hair bows out of crepe paper streamers as well. Very cute!
Now for the trickiest step. Hot gluing the legs to the bottom of the oatmeal container. Stand the legs up on a level surface and lower the body on top of them. You'll know right away if the body needs to be adjusted left, right, forward, or backward. When you think you've struck the right balance, remove the body, squeeze some hot glue around the rims of the leg tubes, and gently lower the body on top of the hot glue.
If your sasquatch is still a little wobbly, use large plastic buttons as counterweights. Hot glue them to the underside of the body – front or back – as needed. Here's a shot of the underside of my sasquatch, with a couple button counterweights attached.
The sasquatch is finished, but we're not quite done with the project! You'll notice a tree and bunny shape on the template. We made trees (with brown paper trunks) and bunnies (with white pom-pom tails) as prizes for a sasquatch finding game.
Outside, we collected the sasquatches and hid them all over the library's plaza. Then we shouted "1-2-3-Go!" and the kids dashed off to locate their furry friends.
The reward for discovery was a bunny and a tree, tucked safely into the sasquatch's arms. Awwwww!
Believe it or not, this isn't the first sasquatch activity I've posted on this blog. Here's another project for older kids that also involves a slightly different sort of search!

REMARKS BY
BongAgricultureBusiness
HIS EXCELLENCY DR. GEORGE MANNEH WEAH
PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA
AT THE INTERCESSORY SERVICE
FOR HIS SAFE ARRIVAL TO LIBERIA
FROM MULTIPLE INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.
THE DOMINICAN CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
CATHOLIC JUNCTION
SINKOR
MONROVIA, LIBERIA
Her Excellency Madame Jewel Howard Taylor
Vice President of the Republic of Liberia;
The Speaker, President Pro-Tempore, and Members of the 54th Legislature, here present;
The Dean and Members of the Cabinet;
Other Officials of Government, here present;
The Doyen and Members of the Diplomatic Corps;
Bishop Isaac Winker, Visiting Bishops
Members of the Clergy;
The Chairman, Officials and Members of the Ruling Mighty Coalition for Democratic Change;
Political and Business Leaders;
Women and Youth Leaders;
Civil Society Organizations;
Members of the Fourth Estate;
My Fellow Citizens;
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am overjoyed to be back home after an extensive tour of duty abroad in the interest of the People of Liberia. Let me give thanks to the Almighty God for the many traveling mercies that He afforded my delegation and I, by His Grace, through our many journeys. I also want to give God praise and thanks and glory for keeping Liberia peaceful, stable, and secure during my absence.
I wish to also express my profound gratitude to the Acting Chairman of the Cabinet, Cllr. F. Musa Dean, Minister of Justice, for ably steering the affairs of state while we were away. I also want to acknowledge and appreciate my able Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor, as well as the leadership of the Legislature and the Judiciary, for their active collaborative and cooperative roles during our absence.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen: The laws of Liberia do not provide for an Acting President. Although I may have been physically absent, the Office of the President of the Republic of Liberia was very present and active, and was in daily and frequent contact with me for my leadership and guidance.
During that time, I appointed and dismissed officials of Government, signed Bills into law, and gave my direct and personal attention to matters of State and governance. While away, the Government of Liberia was running, and matters of national interest were handled expeditiously.
FELLOW CITIZENS; DISTINGUISHED LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
Ours is an open and liberal democratic system, in which those of us who govern are answerable to the governed for our stewardship. This right is enshrined in the organic law of the land – the Liberian Constitution. I am fully aware of the debate that has been stirred in my absence about the prolonged duration of my stay out of the country on official duty abroad. And I would now like to take the opportunity to participate in that debate. But before I do so, I am equally under obligation to acknowledge the rights of those who questioned the time we spent out of the country, and at the same time, thank those who supported the tour.
Fellow citizens, I can assure you, Fellow Citizens, that the visit abroad was a necessary imperative, because it was in the national interest and, as you will see later in these Remarks, Liberia accordingly derived substantial benefits from it.
With the lifting of COVID-19 travel restrictions, we seized the opportunity for in-person participation in summits and conferences which we have not attended during the two years of the pandemic. Due to the compact nature of the schedule, where several of the engagements were almost back-to-back, we decided to maximize the available time, while avoiding excessive travel expenses for repeated travel to and from the country.
Our travel started on October 31, 2022 when I accepted an invitation from His Majesty King Mohamed VI, and departed Liberia at the head of a high-level delegation for the Kingdom of Morocco to participate in the MEDays International Forum convened in Tangier, the Kingdom of Morocco from November 2 – 5, 2022. We delivered the keynote address at the MEDays Forum.
The MEDays International Forum brought together over 5000 participants, including world leaders, to create an opportunity to discuss the main geopolitical, economic and social issues facing the planet, including the war in Ukraine, conflicts and instability in Africa, tensions in the Indo-Pacific, food and energy crises, and inflation and climate change.
On the sidelines of the Forum in Tangier, we met with senior government officials of Hungary, and received a commitment from the Hungarian Government of $50 million United States Dollars in Export Credit for investment and other purposes in Liberia. We were also able to secure an additional fifteen (15) scholarships for young and deserving Liberians students to study in Hungary, bringing to twenty-five (25) the total number of scholarships from Hungary annually.
Also while in Tangier, I had the opportunity to visit one of the largest ports in Africa, the Tangier Med Port Authority, and was able to secure a major commitment from to provide training and technical support to the National Port Authority, as well as an undertaking to transform and refurbish the Port of Greenville in Sinoe County.
Incidentally, l wish to inform you that all direct expenses, including accommodation for me and my delegation, as well as the provision of an aircraft to take me from Liberia to Morocco and from Morocco to Egypt, were provided as a courtesy by the organizers of the MEDays International Forum. I and my delegation did not pay a dime to get to these countries.
We departed Morocco, and arrived in Sham el-Sheikh, the Arab Republic of Egypt, for the COP27 Climate Change Summit, which we also addressed on November 6, 2022. We once again made the case for Liberia to benefit from millions of dollars in a carbon trading mechanism which we proposed at COP26 in Glasgow last year. We were also able to secure funding of $10 million United States Dollars for coastal defense barriers for Greenville, Sinoe County, and West Point in Monrovia.
While in Egypt, we also held talks with senior officials from the Government of Qatar, who committed to provide funding for the second phase of the Lofa CountyRoad.
We then took off immediately from the COP27 Conference in Egypt for Paris, France to honor an invitation from the French President, Mr. Emmanuel Macron, to attend the 5th Paris Peace Forum, which was held from 11th – 15th November, 2022.
From Paris, France, we proceeded to Doha, Qatar to honor an official invitation from the State of Qatar, as well as an invitation from the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) to join twenty-six (26) other Presidents, and an array of notable dignitaries, to grace the ceremony of the opening of Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
While in Qatar, we held a bilateral meeting with the Emir of the State of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamil bin Hamad Al-Thanin, on November 27, 2022, and received a commitment of $100 million United States Dollars for funding of Phase II of the Gbarnga – Mendikorma Highway in Lofa County.
The Qatari Government also announced plans to spend an additional $50 million United States Dollars on sporting facilities in Liberia.
On November 29, 2022, we departed Doha, Qatar, and arrived in the Principality of Monaco to participate in the 13th Edition of the International Peace and Sport Forum, which was held under the patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, who attended the program and personally handed me an award from the Forum.
Prior to attending the ceremony, we were received in audience by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, where we held fruitful discussions on bilateral and international issues.
The organizers of the International Peace and Sport Forum selected us to serve as Keynote Speaker based on our commitment to promote the crucial role of sports at the international level, and particularly in Africa; as well as the utilization of sports to serve as a tool to unite the peoples and nations of the world.
On December 11, 2022, we arrived in Washington, D.C., USA as one of 49 leaders of Africa, invited by The Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States of America, to the US – Africa Leaders Summit, which was held from 13th – 15th December, 2022.
During the official opening of the Summit on December 13, 2022, I was invited to address a Forum of Diaspora Young People. In his introduction of me prior to my speech, we received special commendation from Mr. Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State of the United States of America, QUOTE: "for our great leadership and ability to strengthen US-Liberia bonds" UNQUOTE. He noted further, that under my leadership, and I QUOTE: "US-Liberia relations will flourish." UNQUOTE.
I then delivered an address to the African Youth in Diaspora which, from many accounts, was well received.
I was among a group of six (6) African Heads of State who were selected out of the forty-nine (49) invited leaders for a special meeting with The Honorable President Biden at the White House to discuss the very crucial issues of elections, democracy, rule of law, and development.
During the occasion of this exclusive, but vital meeting, we made a strong pledge and commitment to ensure the conduct of a free, fair, transparent, peaceful, inclusive and democratic elections in October 2023. We made it abundantly clear that under our watch, the democratic credentials of Liberia will be safeguarded, as well as its peace, stability, and security.
We pointed out that we were aware that continued peace and stability in Liberia depends on the outcome of peaceful, free, fair, transparent, inclusive, and credible elections. We used the occasion to call for maximum support from the United States and friendly Governments and partners to the electoral process. The U.S. Government, in response, committed to spending $165 million United States Dollars next year on providing financial support to elections in our respective countries next year, of which Liberia is expected to receive approximately $20 million United States Dollars.
DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
I would now like to talk about rice. During my absence, I approved a recommendation from the recently-appointed Rice Stabilization Committee to increase the price of imported rice in Liberia, based on various external factors enumerated in their Report.
The increase in prices of food and fuel is a global phenomenon, and is not unique to Liberia. We all know the causes of the price increases: from the COVID Pandemic to Climate Change and the war in the Ukraine. When rice prices started to rise in other places, my Government did everything that it could to keep the prices low. We know that imported rice in Liberia is the cheapest in West Africa, but I had made a promise to the Liberian people that rice prices will not increase. I remain mindful of that promise.
My meetings with my colleagues have been very fruitful and I can confidently say that we are working on the modalities to have large-scale private investment in rice production. I have asked our partners to support us in this endeavor. I remember my promise to all Liberians and I will do everything in my power to keep rice on the market and affordable. I will ensure that never again should Liberians look for rice and not be able to find it.
Yes, we acknowledge economic hardship in Liberia. We know that prices of basic commodities are increasing. This is not a situation unique to Liberia alone. It is not a matter to be blamed on lack of knowledge to make qualitative decisions for the general well-being of the Liberian people. The precarious situation we have in the world today is the result of the double effect of the global pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
We can assure you that we are doing all within our powers to continue to bring relief to our people.
AND NOW, FELLOW CITIZENS AND DISTINGUISHED LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
I wish you a Merry Christmas!
God bless us all!
God bless Liberia!

Home / Inspiration / Senior Profile: Stephen Darlin ...
Senior Profile: Stephen Darling
Senior Profile: Stephen Darling – Leadership and Initiative
by Sheryl Blunt, AFA Parent and Freelance Writer
If there is an Ad Fontes Academy student who understands classical education, it's Stephen Darling. That's because Stephen holds the distinction of being the first student to complete every grade, K-12, at AFA.
"I don't know anything else!" said Stephen, who is graduating in June. "The way Ad Fontes taught me how to think and learn is 100 percent a part of me."
Stephen in Lower School
Stephen said he is thankful for many influential teachers and for the positive environment between teachers and students built on mutual respect.
"It's really a great environment, and something that doesn't really come full circle until senior year," he said. "They treat you like adults, but you still get to interact with them like you would a friend."
Stephen said he's enjoyed engaging in wide-ranging conversations with his teachers, particularly with Physics teacher Bill Carey with whom he's discussed everything from movies to photography to science. He's also enjoyed "joking around" with Literature teacher Arthur Rogers. (To his great delight Darling said he learned that in addition to being extremely well-versed in Latin and Ancient Literature, Mr. Rogers can also hold his own quoting from Will Farrell movies.)
Stephen playing baseball for the NOVA Lions
Fond school memories also include playing second base for the NOVA Lions Varsity Baseball team, a combined team of AFA and homeschooled athletes. Stephen also played guard on AFA's Falcons Varsity Basketball team his sophomore through senior years—years he said he was greatly influenced by Varsity Coach Jerry Cuffee.
"He's awesome!" he said. "I'd like to say he's like a second father, but he's really more of a mentor. You know those movies 'Glory Road,' 'Coach Carter' and 'Facing the Giants'? Coach Cuffee is, by the playbook, one of those coaches. You could make a summer blockbuster about him and it would sell!"
Stephen said what distinguishes Cuffee as a coach is his ability to motivate and inspire his players far beyond the basketball court. "I don't think I'd have any confidence or leadership skills without him," he said. "He saw it and brought it out in me. He believed in me more than I did. He saw something in me and made me tap into my full potential."
Practices were about more than learning how to shoot, pass, and box out, he said. "Most practices you came away with a life lesson. Coach Cuffee was a reality check when it came to faith and how to become a man of Christ. Without him I wouldn't be who I am."
Stephen said he also appreciates his coach's refusal to tolerate excuses and his all or nothing approach to the game. He and other players can recite many of their coach's quotes by heart.
"One of his well-known sayings is, 'I have two speeds, zero and 100,'" he said. "Another one is: 'Excuses are monuments of nothingness. They build bridges that lead to nowhere. Those who use these tools are competent to no one, especially themselves.'"
Coach Cuffee expressed his joy at having Stephen as a player. "I've had the fortune of knowing Stephen for the past six years," he said. "He is a highly intelligent, humble, and perceptive young man; traits quickly recognized upon first meeting him. He is respectful, unselfish, a hard worker, a leader, self-motivated, sensitive to others, and possesses great character."
Stephen with Coach Cuffee
This year Stephen also served as co-house head of Rome—one of the four Houses all upper school students are assigned to—where he led weekly group discussions and worked to foster a positive, open atmosphere among students. Serving as a student leader also gave him the opportunity to engage with the male students he mentored and help them feel valued.
"It was really awesome getting to know these guys—keeping control of the middle schoolers—as well as just joking around with them," he said. He added that as a leader he learned to balance the need for engaging in serious discussions with time spent simply listening and connecting.
"You learn when to engage in serious conversations, and when not to have those," he said. "Sometimes just getting to know them as a person is better, and shows that you actually care."
Coach Cuffee said that Stephen's readiness to accept responsibility, take-on challenges, set high standards for himself, and positively impact others has made him a well-respected leader. "He is highly thought of by the coaching staff and within his peer group," he said. "He has been a role model, always leading by example. He never hesitates to help others and has a level of mannerism that is unmatched."
Stephen said he is excited about attending James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA, this fall where he plans to study Computer Science. He feels that the academic rigor of Ad Fontes has prepared him well for college, particularly when it comes to writing and time management. His teachers and coaches agree.
"Stephen is committed to excellence," said Mr. Ray Blunt, who teaches Worldview and Senior Seminar at the school. "It became obvious in small ways to me. … He has also become very thoughtful and serious about life, and has a good sense of focus as he heads to JMU."
"He has demonstrated he possesses the maturity and discipline needed to affect positive change," said Cuffee. "I am confident he will ultimately serve as one of James Madison's finest ambassadors."
Stephen Darling's senior portrait
Asked if there were any verses that had become particularly meaningful to him, Stephen named Romans 1:16. The verse reads: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."
"In Romans it talks about not being ashamed of the gospel," he said. "It's important to me because it shows how the gospel is for anyone, no matter their situation."
Stephen said another meaningful passage is Isaiah 6:8. "In Isaiah God asks, 'Who shall I send?' Isaiah says, 'Here I am, send me.' That verse inspired me to want to be that guy who always steps up and is willing to lead," he said, "that guy who takes the initiative."

Please read the below information about how the ACLU of Kansas accepts cases before submitting a complaint at the link below.
How do I file a legal complaint with the ACLU of Kansas?
The ACLU of Kansas does not accept requests for legal assistance in person or by telephone. To ask the ACLU of Kansas for legal assistance, you must complete and submit a complaint form. You can submit a complaint either online or by mail by writing to: ACLU of Kansas Legal Department; P.O. Box 917; Mission, KS 66201.
Can the ACLU of Kansas advise me about my case?
The ACLU of Kansas cannot advise you about your case or provide other types of assistance (for example, reviewing your papers or conducting legal research) if we have not accepted your case and have an active agreement with you. This policy allows us to direct the necessary resources to those cases that we do accept and the clients to whom we are committed.
Types of cases we do not accept
Generally, the ACLU does not accept the following types of cases: family law, denial of governmental benefits, landlord-tenant disputes, criminal defense, complaints about attorneys or judges, or employment matters.
The ACLU does not ordinarily handle cases in which the primary purpose is to obtain monetary damages.
We generally do not take third party complaints, meaning the complaint needs to be filed by the person directly impacted by the issue.
The ACLU of Kansas is limited to addressing constitutional violations that occurred within the State of Kansas, and therefore we do not accept cases that occur outside of the state of Kansas.
While we continue to support better immigration policy in Kansas, we unfortunately do not handle individual immigration cases, such as ICE detainer cases. You may find an immigration attorney at https://www.justia.com/lawyers/immigration-law/kansas.
The ACLU does not handle complaints about lawyers. You should speak to the judge in your case about such a complaint. If your lawyer is a public defender, you can also write to the head of the public defender office in your area. If you wish to file a formal bar complaint against your lawyer, you should direct such complaints to the Office of the Disciplinary Administrator, 701 SW Jackson Street, 1st Floor, Topeka Kansas 66603-3729.
The ACLU does not represent defendants in individual criminal matters, specifically in trials, sentencing proceedings or modification filings, direct appeals, post-conviction remedies such as habeas corpus or 1507 proceedings, parole hearings, or probation or parole revocation proceedings.
Important note about deadlines
All legal claims have time deadlines. The deadlines may be different depending on who violated your rights and depending on what rights were violated. For some kinds of violations, you may need to file a claim with a government agency before you can sue, and these agencies usually have their own deadlines. The ACLU of Kansas cannot advise you about the deadlines that apply to your case. To protect your rights, please consult with an attorney promptly to find out what deadlines apply in your case.
Where else can I go for help?
We are a private, non-profit organization with limited resources; therefore, we must be very selective in choosing our cases. Only very few cases meet our criteria for selection under state and federal constitutional matters, and even among those cases, we can take only a small percentage of the complaints we receive. If your case does not meet our selection criteria, you may seek legal advice and assistance from a private lawyer with experience handling your issues. You may be able to find such lawyers on www.lawyers.com and other similar websites. In addition, you could also contact the Kansas Bar Association's lawyer referral service at (800) 928-3111 either to find an attorney or to use their "Ask a Lawyer" service ($2/minute) in which you can ask legal questions in a cost-effective way without having to make a formal appointment with an attorney. More information about this service is here.
If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, you could contact the legal aid office that covers your county or city, but understand they also have a limited scope of cases for which they can provide representation. You can locate the appropriate office by visiting the website of Kansas Legal Services at http://www.kansaslegalservices.org/GetHelp.
If you have an employment discrimination complaint and wish to bring such a claim, you must file a charge of discrimination with either the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or, assuming that you worked in Kansas, the Kansas Human Rights Commission (KHRC). In order to protect yourself, you should file a charge of discrimination with one of those agencies within 180 days of the last act of discrimination. If you fail to file a timely charge of discrimination, any lawsuit you file might be dismissed. In order to file a charge of discrimination, you may contact the EEOC's National Contact Center toll-free at 1-800-669-4000 or 1-800-669-6820 (TTY). You may also write the EEOC's Kansas City Area Office at Gateway Tower II, 400 State Ave., Suite 905, Kansas City, KS 66101. You may contact the KHRC at (785) 296-3206. You can contact the Kansas Human Rights Commission (KHRC), 900 S.W. Jackson Street, Suite 568, Topeka, Kansas 66612-1258, (785) 296-3206. You can download a KHRC complaint form here.
If you have a complaint about law enforcement conduct, you may be able to file a complaint with the head of the involved law enforcement agency or its Internal Affairs Dept. If you believe you were a victim of racial profiling and discrimination, you may consider filing a complaint through the Commission on Peace Officers' Standards and Training (CPOST), an oversight agency with the Kansas Attorney General's Office, or 316-832-9906. You may also wish to seek representation by a lawyer with experience in police misconduct cases. You may be able to find such lawyers on www.lawyers.com.
If you have a complaint about an individual incident of discrimination in healthcare, we would urge you to first file a civil rights complaint with the hospital's internal reporting avenue and with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
If you have a complaint related to an individual criminal matter, please be advised that the ACLU does not represent criminal defendants in trials, sentencing proceedings or modification filings, direct appeals, post-conviction remedies such as habeas corpus or 1507 proceedings, parole hearings, or probation or parole revocation proceedings. You are entitled to an appointed lawyer at trial and on your first direct appeal if you are indigent and cannot afford a lawyer. You should ask the court to appoint a lawyer to represent you. If the court will not appoint a lawyer for you, you should try to find a private lawyer to assist you. You can find criminal defense lawyers on the website of the Kansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (www.kacdl.org/members.php) or with the Kansas Bar Association. If you are seeking to bring a challenge based on your claims of innocence, you may consider submitting an application to the Midwest Innocence Project (MIP).
If you have a complaint related to conditions or treatment inside of a prison, jail, or other facility, please ensure you or the affected person/s exhausts all internal remedies and to save all responses you receive. Any claim you would try to bring later would depend on you exhausting all internal grievance procedures, such as filing grievances, appealing decisions or disciplinary actions, and submitting form-9 or other requests for remedies you are seeking. Please see our resource here on the Prison Litigation Reform Act.
If you have a complaint related to sexual assault inside of a prison or other facility, please know that you do have the right to be free from rape and sexual assault while incarcerated. The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), passed by Congress in 2003, applies to all detention facilities, including federal and state prisons, jails, police lock-ups, private facilities, and immigration detention centers, and specifically recognizes that sexual assault in detention can constitute a violation of the Eighth Amendment. PREA requires that facilities adopt a zero-tolerance approach to this form of abuse. The failure to protect prisoners from sexual assault by other inmates may also amount to a violation of the Eighth Amendment, if you can show that the prison staff was deliberately indifferent to a serious risk of harm. If a guard or another prisoner has assaulted you in prison, you may be able to make a (1) federal constitutional law claim (that is, a claim that your constitutional rights were violated) and/or (2) a state law claim (that is, a claim that a state law was violated).
You may consider contacting a trusted staff person, dialing #50 from any offender phone in the Kansas Department of Corrections, or sending a letter or form-9 to the PREA coordinator: PREA coordinator; Kansas Department of Corrections; 714 SW Jackson Street; Topeka, KS 66603. If you have other general concerns about your safety, please consider submitting a request to your counselor, unit manager, or other staff member detailing your concerns and request to be moved or have your situation rectified. Additionally, we suggest documenting in detail these attempts to receive a solution and possibly reporting to: U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division; Special Litigation, Corrections; 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW; Washington, DC 20530.

Firestorm 4.7.7: get ready to update!
Thursday, March 17th saw Firestorm release version 4.7.7.408706 of their viewer. Coming four months after the last release, this update is slightly later than planned, but includes a number of important updates from the Lab as well as a good mix of updates, improvements and fixes directly from the Firestorm team and contributors.
As per my usual MO, what follows is an overview of the release, highlighting some of the more significant / interesting changes, updates and fixes to be found in the release, and which I feel will be of most interest to users.
This update means that Firestorm 4.6.9 will be blocked in approximately 3 weeks time.
Firestorm 4.7.7 brings the viewer up to parity with the Lab's 4.0.1 code base, and so includes the TLS 1.2 and CEF changes. These and other Lab derived changes are outlined below.
The reason this release might be regarded as becoming a mandatory update for Second Life users is the integration of TLS1.2 into the viewer – and by "viewer", I mean all current or upcoming viewer releases, LL or TPV.
TLS, the successor to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is a cryptographic protocol for communications security intended to provide privacy and data integrity between two communicating computer application (such as the viewer and the Lab's servers).
TLS 1.2 is currently being implemented by Linden Lab under the umbrella of their work of fiscal compliance, This involved changes to both the viewer and LL's servers, the upshot of which means that, once TLS 1.2 has been fully implemented, any viewer that does not support TLS 1.2, will not be able to do any interactions with cashier or anything that involves L$. While there is no precise time frame for this work to be completed, indications from the Lab are that it will be sooner rather than later.
Again, this is not an arbitrary decision on the part of either the Firestorm team or Linden Lab; the work is being carried out as a compliance requirement.
Firestorm 4.7.7 includes the Lab's implementation of Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) for media management (and more). CEF completely replaces the old llQTwebkit for media management within the viewer, replacing it with current web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 support and WebGL, which can allow direct manipulation of objects on a browser page displayed in-world with ease.
CEF should also enable things like viewing PDF files in-world, editing PDF documents via Google Docs, etc. See the CEF forum thread for more.
CEF integration into the viewer means that Flash and QuickTime content require third-party support (see this Knowledge Base article on enabling Flash support for CEF viewers, for example). However, because they do rely on plug-in support, there is no guarantee given by Firestorm or Linden Lab that either will work, and are regarded as unsupported.
Materials (texture / diffuse, bumpiness / normal and shininess / specular) in the Build floater Texture tab can now be selected via radio buttons, rather than picking from a drop-down list, to make locating and selection them easier (see BUG-10149).
A fix for opening an experience compiled script in an object in an adjacent region failing to show the script is compiled with an experience in the script editor (see BUG-8980).
The following general updates have been made to the Preferences floater. additional updates related to specific functionality (building, chat, etc., can be found in the sections that follow this one.
Support for Legacy Notifications: those who prefer not to use the new Notifications floater from Linden Lab, and introduced with Firestorm 4.7.5 can now revert to the legacy notifications display via Preferences > User Interface > 2D Overlay > Use legacy list layout for Notifications window.
Building and scripting updates include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following.
The Animation Upload floater now displays the number of frames, total duration, and FPS of the .BVH file selected for upload. The upload floater also includes two new Frame In and Frame Out spinners for grater accuracy when defining the loop in / out parameters for the animation. These work in sync with the existing % In and Out spinners.
Fixes facial expressions not working for most languages (see FIRE-17261).
Exposed Boost exceptions to the PreProcessor output.
The communications and group updates include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following.
All chat and IM floaters now include a Chat Options button which provides quick access to a number of chat options and settings via drop-down lists. These are a mix of global options (displayed for both local chat and IMs), and context-sensitive options, depending on whether you are using the local chat window or and IM window or a group IM window.
Growl will no longer notify if Do Not Disturb is set in the viewer.
Group invitations now exempted from the newline flood check because some group invites were being blocked when spam protection was enabled (see FIRE-17478).
Inventory updates include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following.
With this release, Firestorm handles Calling Cards the same way as V1-style viewers: if you delete them they will not regenerate from your Friends list when you next log-in. However, if you log-in to Second Life using a different v3/v4-based viewer, your list of Calling Cards will be recreated.
In addition, a number of fixes have been made to try to eliminate the unnecessary duplication of Calling Cards in your inventory, and a fix has been added to prevent inventory sometimes popping up and selecting a calling card after logging-in, should Calling cards get synchronised for whatever reason.
Attachment count added to Wearing tab in the Appearance panel (Avatar > Appearance > Wearing tab).
Other updates in the Firestorm 4.7.7 release include, but are not limited to the following.
Again, for a complete list of updates, please refer to the release notes.
A fix for Object Z-position spinner in tools floater not allowing negative values for OpenSim (see FIRE-13582).
A large update, and one which packs a couple of significant updates into it from the Lab in the form of CEF and the TLS 1.2 code. I've been running Firestorm 4.7.7. 48706 for the past few weeks and have personally have few problems with it. Rendering seems to be slightly bumpy at times, but frame rates show a slight improvement over 4.7.5 in very rough-and-ready tests. Again, given I'm fortunate to have a relatively good-to-high-end system, my findings may not reflect those of others.
I'm also out of time. The release is live – as should be this blog post!
Thanks for sharing! 🙂 .
like the last firestorm, the firestorm exe fix to allow it to work on windows. where is it fore the new viewer?
Bring on the new changes!
Thanks for sharing 🙂 .
Thanks for the overview and summary!
The 4.7.7 is the best Firestorm viewer to date. Its more stable than the 4.7.5 , which needed the APPFIX for texture graphics stability. The good part about the 4.7.7 is the "extra" MB's at download & without using the APPFIX.
I'm late to the party, having downloaded 4.7.7 just before the June 15 deadline amidst dire warnings about money transactions. Little things: At login, no longer are we told how many users are inworld, and the IM window has been narrowed so that unless one stretches the window absurdly wide, one can only see a very few words as one types. I see no reason for these irritating changes … maybe someone here knows?
1) The login screen ticker was broken with the CEF changes.
This will be fixed for next release.
2) I'm not really sure what you mean here & nothing has changed with the layout of the text entry box for local/IM/Group chat for many releases.
The width of the chat entry box is governed by how wide your conversation window is. There is a resize handle at the bottom right of the conversation window.
There is nothing else that governs the width of the text entry box.
If you mean the *height* of the text entry box, possibly you have the viewer set to have the multi-line chat entry disabled, so the chat bar will not expand in height as you type.
Advanced -> Show debug settings -> FSUseSingleLineChatEntry -> Make sure this is set to FALSE.
If that doesn't fix the problem, can you post a screenshot showing the problem please.
Which viewer version did you update from?
Actually, thought of something else that may be the problem if you updated from the very very old Firestorm 4.4.2 & you like your conversation window super narrow.
Since that old release the send button was added to the right of the chat entry box, plus the channel selector for nearby chat.
You can disable both of these.
Preferences -> Chat -> Typing -> Show Send button in chat bar for IM sessions.
Preferences -> Chat -> Typing -> Show chat type / send chat button in chat bar (this is for nearby chat).
Preferences -> Chat -> Typing -> Show channel selection in chat bar.
Disable those 3 options & you'll get some extra width in the text entry box.
The settings solution worked. Thanks, Whirly.

The Uncharted movie will begin filming in early 2015, according to the movie's director, Seth Gordon. With that said however, the casting team is still searching for a potential actor to play Nathan Drake, the leading role. Mark Wahlberg and Nathan Fillion were rumored to become the leading explorer, but that never panned out. Speaking with entertainment site zap2it, Gordon discussed how crucial these next few months will be in finding the right actor.
Uncharted is one of Sony's biggest IP's, and it will be judged critically when it finally sees the light of day.

Monks and the Camera
Tue 28 Jan 2020, 19:15 - 20:30
How an archive of Buddhist photographs was discovered and rescued in Laos.
From 2006 to 2011, the British Library's Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) sponsored three projects to secure the Buddhist Archive of Photography in Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Laos. 35,000 photographs were identified, preserved and digitised.
Photographer and writer Hans Georg Berger reveals the story of this remarkable collection, and his meeting with The Most Venerable Phra Khamchan Virachitta Maha Thera, Abbot of Vat Saen Sukharam, who had been collecting photographs for more than 70 years. Berger has an in depth understanding of an archive that spans 120 years and the importance it plays in the wider context of world photography.
The EAP Programme, established by Arcadia, a charitable trust of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin, awards grants to secure, digitise and make available online vulnerable material from around the world. Documents are digitised in situ and the projects have local capacity-building at their core.
Hans Georg Berger is a principal investigator for the three EAP projects.
A selection from the Buddhist Archive of Photography is currently on display on the Second Floor Gallery, inSacred Laos in Photographs: The Monks' Gaze. It runs until 9 February 2020.
In partnership with Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin.

Union City surges past St. Philip
The Union City Chargers beat St. Philip 58-35 on Friday night.
Union City surges past St. Philip The Union City Chargers beat St. Philip 58-35 on Friday night. Check out this story on battlecreekenquirer.com: http://bcene.ws/1I6Ef4U

COLLEGE PARK, MD - FEBRUARY 09: A basketball goes through the hoop before the game between the Maryland Terrapins and the Longwood Lancers at the Comcast Center on February 09, 2011 in College Park, Maryland. (Photo by G Fiume/Maryland Terrapins/Getty Images)(Photo: Getty Images)
Union City – The Union City Chargers surged past the St. Philip Tigers in a winter break, non-conference boys contest to remain unbeaten (5-0) on the season.
Union City High was able to control both ends of the floor on Friday night to defeat the Tigers by a score of 58-35.
The Chargers' Colin Kreger led all scorers with 15 points and Jalen Boes added 12, but it was Darren Austin who had the biggest impact on the game. The Union City senior was all over the court for the Chargers, compiling nine points, 14 rebounds, six assists, three blocks and four steals.
"Darren Austin's had a great game tonight and he's off to an excellent start to his senior season," said Union City head coach Ben Chard. "I liked the way we came out with a lot of energy and were able to control the tempo of the game tonight."
For St. Philip, head coach Dino English said his team must learn how to play more physical and capitalize on point-blank shots.
"We have to figure out a way to start playing a little stronger – a little harder," said English, whose team moved to 2-3 on the season after the loss. "Right now, we are a soft team. We are settling for too many jump shots. We have to play stronger. We are not the tallest team, but that doesn't mean we can't still play strong down low. If we don't do that, we are going to have a long season."
The Tigers ran into the wall which was the Chargers' defense on Friday night. Despite having numerous attempts to cut Union City's 8-0 run to start the first quarter, St. Philip managed to score only three points on offense – on only one made basket.
The Chargers, on the other hand, pushed the ball up the court. Whether it was a forward or center launching long outlet passes to the guards, or post players corralling rebounds and owning the offensive glass, Union City controlled the game's tempo.
"We are playing soft," said English. "Did you see how many shots we missed down low, finger rolling and not going hard to the basket? We've been working on that (physical play) all week, and I bet you we missed 15 shots underneath the basket tonight because people are not playing hard. That's the name of the game. They (Union City) were a good team, and they took it to us tonight."
The Chargers, who are a part of the Big 8 Conference, forced the Tigers to play catch-up all night long. As a result, Union City never looked back.
Leading the way for St. Philip, point guard Hunter Haley led the Tigers with 10 points, while guard Kevin Greenman had seven points. Dreyson English and David Downey each chipped in with 5 points.
St. Philip girls' hoops win at Union City
The St. Philip girls' basketball team traveled to Union City and picked up a 34-21 win on Friday night. Leading the way for the Tigers was Megan Gordon with nine points and four steals. Kameron Haley and Adrian Hibbard each added eight points and Nina Winkler had four steals in the win for the St. Philip (5-2).
"Our defense was solid tonight," said St. Philip head coach Tony Warren. "We forced them into turnovers and we knocked down some perimeter jump shots and we had a strong post presence from Adrian Hibbard that allowed us to get the win."

The National Finals Rodeo returns to Las Vegas in December in what is one of the city's biggest attractions of the year, returning the sprawling desert oasis to its Wild West roots. The rodeo sells out every year, and this year is no exception. But here are events, some free, around Vegas where you can experience the rodeo vibe.
The finals are the season-ending championship event for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assn. that have been held annually since 1959. The rodeo has found a home at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas since 1985.
With tickets scarce, a great choice for catching the roping and wrangling on TV is the Orleans Hotel & Casino. A couple miles west of the Strip, the resort will provide a bounty of rodeo-related activities including free, family-friendly viewing parties starting each evening at 6:30 in the Hawthorne Room.
Also nightly, the Orleans will host National Finals Tonight, a live show featuring world champion rodeo stars Joe Beaver and Don Gay, along with cowboy celebrity Dan Miller.
The hosts and their guests will recap the night's action during conversations each evening at 10:30. Plan to arrive early at the pop-up Honky Tonk Saloon (near Bailiwick All-American Pub & Eatery); admission is free, and the place gets packed.
The saloon also is where professional rodeo clown Justin Rumford holds court nightly at 6. Rump's Rodeo Party will blend a viewing party with humor and entertainment provided by Rumford and guests. Admission is free.
Inside the Orleans Arena next-door, the All In Barrel Race is scheduled to coincide with the rodeo events taking place on the other side of the 15 Freeway. Admission is free for the barrel racing action, which will be spread out over nine days.
National Finals Rodeo participants will polish their roping skills in the new Core Arena in downtown Las Vegas. The outdoor equestrian center opens Dec. 6 at the Plaza Hotel & Casino and will be a year-round venue.
During the rodeo, 200 horse stalls will be provided at the Core. Nearby, bulls from Copper Spring Ranch near Bozeman, Mont., will be penned as they await the chases.
Morning and afternoon team-roping practices will be held each day, but viewing is restricted to Plaza hotel guests.
Country music fans can get their fix a couple of blocks away, along Fremont Street at the Golden Nugget. Nine acts will perform various nights between Dec. 6 and 14, including Ray Wylie Hubbard (Dec. 9), a longtime entertainer making his Las Vegas debut; Lonestar (Dec. 12); John Michael Montgomery (Dec. 8); and Tanya Tucker (Dec. 7). The shows begin at 10 p.m., following that evening's live rodeo action. Tickets start at $49.
Cowboy comic Chad Prather will perform a single night of stand-up Dec. 7 at Treasure Island. Best known for his rants from the front seat of his pickup, Prather will take the stage at 10 p.m. Tickets from $35.95.
More than 30 Miss Rodeo America contestants will take the stage at the Tropicana from Dec. 2-9, when a new winner is crowned. The competition, now in its 64th year, judges contestants on horsemanship, among other skills.
Ticket prices vary by event and may be purchased online until Friday.

Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi
The founder of Algebra and the first person who presented systematic solutions for Linear and Quadratic Equations. Al-Khwārizmī's contributions to mathematics, geography, astronomy, and cartography established the basis for innovation in algebra and trigonometry. His systematic approach to solving linear and quadratic equations led to algebra, a word derived from the title of his 830 book on the subject, "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing"

The path forward for many Congolese youth is clear. They want to be free from tyranny more than the Kabila regime wants to repress them and deprive them of their God-given life pursuits. In the Congo, the youth are prepared for a sustained civil disobedience undertaking to cripple and ultimately remove an oppressive system that not only kills them but also squelches their aspirations and hopes for a dignified life.

Further information: Bethpage Purchase
In 1695, Thomas Powell bought about 10,000 acres (40 km2) from local Indian tribes, including the Marsapeque, Matinecoc, and Sacatogue, for 140 English pounds. This land, which includes present day Bethpage, East Farmingdale, Farmingdale, Old Bethpage, Plainedge, Plainview, South Farmingdale, and part of Melville, is known as the Bethpage Purchase and is approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east to west and 5 miles (8.0 km) north to south.
Powell called his land Bethphage, because it was situated between two other places on Long Island, Jericho and Jerusalem, just as the biblical town of Bethphage (meaning "house of figs") was situated between Jericho and Jerusalem in Israel. Today, the Long Island place formerly called Jerusalem is known as Wantagh and Island Trees, while the placename Jericho is unaltered. Over time, Bethpage was spelled without the second "H". Powell's 14 children split up his purchase and it evolved into several farming communities, and the one in this mostly central part of the purchase retained the name "Bethpage".
A railroad spur completed in 1873, known as the Bethpage Branch of the Central Railroad of Long Island,[2] ran to a brickworks plant which had opened in Old Bethpage in the 1860s. The railway was built to transport bricks for the construction of Alexander Stewart's Garden City.[3][4] For a few years, regularly scheduled passenger traffic also appeared in timetables, with the station being called Bethpage. The line was abandoned in 1942. Remnants of a locomotive turntable can be found in the woods of Bethpage State Park on the east side of Round Swamp Road.[5][6] The brickyard continued operations under different owners until 1981, with different sections known variously as Bethpage Brickworks, Queens County Brick Manufacturing Company, Post Brick Company, and (after Nassau County split from Queens County in 1899) Nassau Brick Company.[7] The pitted terrain at the brickworks was used in investigations by Grumman for digital mapping of Earth.[8]
In 1908, William Kissam Vanderbilt II began construction of the Long Island Motor Parkway, one of the country's first highways. Eventually stretching 45 miles (72 km) from Queens, New York to Lake Ronkonkoma, New York, a portion of the parkway ran through Old Bethpage. Street names such as "Vanderbilt Lane", "Motor Parkway" and "Toll Place" serve as reminders. Segments of the old roadbed and some bridges can still be seen in some places, including Battle Row Campground, Bethpage State Park, and the Old Bethpage Village Restoration.[9]
In 1932, under the auspices of Long Island State Parks Commissioner, Robert Moses, Bethpage State Park, was opened. The park and its 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) is almost entirely within the hamlet of Old Bethpage. In 1936, the adjacent hamlet of Central Park changed its name to Bethpage.[10] Following this name change, the hamlet originally called Bethpage resisted suggestions that it merge with the new Bethpage, and got approval from the post office to change its name to Old Bethpage, though it did not have its own post office until 1965.[11] Bethpage State Park remained so named, leading some to mistakenly believe that the park is located mostly in Bethpage.
Old Bethpage was home to at least two grand estates, the Benjamin Franklin Yoakum Estate and the Taliaferro Estate.
The former estate of railroad tycoon Benjamin F. Yoakum included land in both Old Bethpage and the Lenox Hills neighborhood of Farmingdale Village. It was this estate that was transformed into Bethpage State Park.
The Taliaferro Estate is now the site of the Nassau County Office Complex, located between the split of Old Country Road and Round Swamp Road, and was once home to the Nassau County Sanitarium, a tuberculosis ward. The sanitarium was authorized by the Nassau County Board of Supervisors in 1930, and was completed in the early part of the same decade.[12][13]
As tuberculosis was brought under control, the complex of Georgian style buildings was closed in the 1960s.[14] Following its closure, the facility was given over to mixed use, including the establishment of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in 1976, and a branch of the Cornell Cooperative Extension.[14][15] In 1999, Charles Wang, founder of Computer Associates purchased the 144-acre (0.58 km2) property from the county for $23 million.[16] Included in the purchase was 1535 Old Country Road, which now houses the corporate offices of the New York Islanders and New York Dragons, both of which are owned by Wang. In addition, the building is home to the Wang-created, Plainview Chinese Cultural Center.[17]
In 1960, responding to Nassau County's rapid suburban expansion, the county announced plans for the development of the Nassau County Fire Service Academy. Located on Winding Road, the academy provides provides training to all Nassau County fire departments.[18]
Old Bethpage is located at 40°45′43″N 73°27′16″W / 40.76194°N 73.45444°W / 40.76194; -73.45444 (40.761819, -73.454544)[19]. For the 2000 Census, the boundaries of the CDP were enlarged beyond those of the 1990 census.[20]
According to the United States Census Bureau, Old Bethpage has a total area of 4.1 square miles (11 km2). Although Plainview, at 5.7 square miles (15 km2) is 40% larger, its population is approximately five times that of Old Bethpage because significant portions of Old Bethpage consist of parks and undeveloped property, including, Bethpage State Park, the Old Bethpage Village Restoration and Battle Row Campground.
Demographics of the CDP
As of the 2000 United States Census,[21] there were 5,400 people, 1,834 households, and 1,557 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 1,311.4 per square mile (506.1/km²). There were 1,843 housing units at an average density of 447.6/sq mi (172.7/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 94.57% White, 1.19% African American, 0.04% Native American, 2.94% Asian, 0.35% from other races, and 0.91% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.93% of the population.
There were 1,834 households out of which 38.3% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 75.6% were married couples living together, 7.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 15.1% were non-families. 13.8% of all households were made up of individuals and 10.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.88 and the average family size was 3.16.
In the CDP the population was spread out with 24.2% under the age of 18, 5.5% from 18 to 24, 27.1% from 25 to 44, 25.1% from 45 to 64, and 18.0% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 41 years. For every 100 females there were 91.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 90.5 males.
The median income for a household in the CDP was $89,771, and the median income for a family was $100,325. Males had a median income of $67,917 versus $40,353 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $34,666. About 2.4% of families and 4.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 4.0% of those under age 18 and 4.6% of those age 65 or over.
Old Bethpage's school system is the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District. This school district contains one high school, two middle schools, four elementary schools and a kindergarten center. Of these schools, the only one located in Old Bethpage proper is Old Bethpage Elementary School.
Old Bethpage also had its own two room school house named the Little Red Schoolhouse. This building, which stood until the 1970s, was located on Schoolhouse Road, just off of Round Swamp Road. The building was torn down and the property developed into several houses.
Old Bethpage has a number of community parks tucked in between its homes. For residents, the primary park is the Old Bethpage Park, located on Haypath Road. This park features two tennis courts, baseball and softball fields, a basketball court, playgrounds and a community center. For out-of-towners, the town is also home to the Battle Row Campground, which provides accommodations for trailers and tent camping on its 44 acres (180,000 m2).[11]
Old Bethpage contains Bethpage State Park which has five golf courses, the most famous of which is the Black Course, where the US Open was held in 2002 and again in 2009.
Old Bethpage is home to the Old Bethpage Village Restoration.[22] Opened in 1963, on a former Powell family farm, the restoration is an authentic recreation of a mid-19th century Long Island village. The complex includes farmhouses, a blacksmith, general store, cobbler, school house and churches, all of which were moved to the site from other locations on Long Island and then restored to period condition.[23][24][25] In 2009, the Restoration became one of six Nassau County museums slated to be closed as a result of the county's impending budget shortfall. However, as a result of strong public opposition, the museum opened on April 1, 2009.[26]
Old Bethpage was home to one movie theater, located in the Tru-Value Shopping Center. This theater initially showed first or second run movies. However, in the 1970s it began to show pornographic movies until community protests forced the theater to revert to its original general commercial offerings.[27] The theater eventually closed and remained vacant for a number of years until it was reopened as a live action theater known as the Plaza Playhouse. The Playhouse remained in Old Bethpage until June 2010, when it moved to a new strip mall on Old Country Road. The space is now vacant again.
Hawks Youth Lacrosse is the local Boys and Girls Youth Lacrosse organization for Plainview-Old Bethpage with teams playing in the Nassau County PAL League.www.hawkslax.org
Old Bethpage is home to "Skate Safe of America", which provides facilities for roller hockey and other indoor sports.
Brian Mandelbaum, Apprentice television show candidate and businessman, grew up in Old Bethpage.
Daniel Mendelsohn, author, critic, and professor.
Eric Mendelsohn (Judy Berlin, 1999 which was shot in Old Bethpage) grew up in Old Bethpage.
John Savage, actor, was born in Old Bethpage.
Guy Selvester, Catholic clergyman and noted expert in heraldry grew up in Old Bethpage.
Prior to its development as a suburb, the area that is now Lark Avenue roughly between Belair Drive and Lee Place, was once a shooting range.
The stretch of undeveloped land which starts in Bethpage State Park and crosses Haypath Road, Old Bethpage Road and Old Country Road, was originally purchased as a right of way by the State of New York, for a proposed extension of the Bethpage State Parkway to the Long Island Expressway. The intersection of these two roads would have been Exit 47 on the Expressway. There is still no Exit 47, with the LIE skipping from Exit 46 to Exit 48. This land is currently set aside by New York State as permanent park land and is now designated as Trailview State Park.
Bethpage State Park is actually located mostly in Old Bethpage, not Bethpage, with small parts of its "Black Course" located in Melville and East Farmingdale. Since the Farmingdale post office served the offices of the original golf course, ever since the park opened it has used Farmingdale as its postal address.

New Year, New Money: What Does 2022 Hold for Cryptocurrency? (by Samuel McLelland)
It's 2022 and it's likely you've heard of the terms "Bitcoin" or "cryptocurrency." And although Bitcoin has been around since 2009, people's understanding of cryptocurrency (or, crypto for short) still varies drastically. Some were early "investors" or "users" of Bitcoin and understand a lot. Others don't care to learn anything about it, seeing it as fraud. But regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, cryptocurrency is here to stay for the foreseeable future. This article will discuss what could be in store for crypto in 2022 from a legal and policy perspective. Government. There's a saying in the crypto community: if a government can't control your money (or currency) then it may not be able to tax it. One of the most pressing issues still facing crypto is taxation. The problem of taxation stems from the root question of "what are cryptocurrencies?" Are they hard assets, like gold? Are they soft assets, like stock shares? Or are they true currency? Well, depending on which government agency you ask, you'll get a different answer. The big three federal agencies—IRS, SEC, and CFTC—each treat crypto a little different. Although there are differences, 2022 will be a year for harmonizing and hammering. Here's what I mean: we'll likely see these differing federal opinions become more alike. But we'll also see more required reporting to federal agencies for taxation, similar to how the Biden administration is now scrutinizing Venmo transactions for small businesses. Harmony among federal agencies' treatment of crypto, but those agencies will hammer reporting requirements and taxation. On the topic of taxation, the big rumor is that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is floating the idea to tax crypto transactions at a whopping 80%. There's no official word on this, but such a rate would certainly hinder crypto's growth in the U.S. Real Estate. This year we'll likely see crypto currencies, mainly Bitcoin, begin to creep in to the real estate market. Why? Well, because its popular. First, Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency. It has a market cap of almost one trillion dollars. For reference the market cap for the silver market is only 1.4 trillion. So, its use in commerce is only growing in popularity; purchasing real estate is no exception. Second, many folks in the U.S. and around the world use crypto as payment for real estate transactions because it removes the need for escrow accounts. Either the Bitcoin transfers immediately at closing or it doesn't—no need for clearing houses or escrow accounts to hold funds for security. Lastly, there's the growing trend related to real estate deeds and NFTs (non-fungible tokens). A non-fungible token is a crypto asset on a blockchain with a unique identification code and metadata. So, how do real estate deeds interact with NFTs? Well, a land deed is also a unique piece of paper that lays out the exact property you own. There has been a trend to convert the physical piece of paper into an NFT and transmit the NFT on the blockchain, sometimes with the crypto payment transaction. However, it's unlikely we'll see this exact trend take root in Arkansas because we are a race-notice state. But, if you do real estate transactions in notice states, be sure there's no wild deed in the form of an NFT floating out there. Environmental. There's been a growing trend of using fuel sources—natural gas, steam, coal, solar, etc.—to power Bitcoin and crypto mining plants instead of selling the energy on the energy market. You may ask, why? Well, the explanation is simpler than you think—supply and demand. When the demand on fuel sources is low (making energy prices low for sellers), sellers will utilize a portion of that fuel to electrically power a mining operation (a.k.a a bunch of computers). This allows energy suppliers to "capture" the inexpensive fuel price to create Bitcoins. Then, if the price of Bitcoin goes up drastically or an energy supplier is short on supply, they can use the Bitcoin to buy energy. The supplier could also use the Bitcoin to offset the cost in purchasing energy when the price of energy soars (like we saw with the Texas winter storm last year). Thus, in 2022 you can expect more energy suppliers, buyers, and brokers to use crypto to help stabilize their balance sheets. Altcoins & ICOs. Lastly, with crypto growing in popularity, we've seen a growing class of second-tier cryptos called "altcoins." These cryptos vary greatly. What we'll see more of this year are what are called Initial Crypto Offerings. These are similar to Initial Public Offerings, when a company goes public. We'll likely see more ICOs because more-and-more people think they have the latest and greatest idea for a new type of crypto currency. These ideas can be worth investing in, but only for those investors with high‑risk appetites. Innovation breads litigation. On the other side of the coin, we'll likely see more of the following: (1) the SEC going after these altcoins for noncompliant public offerings; (2) lawsuits for fraud and Ponzi schemes surrounding altcoins; and (3) more federal regulations of altcoins. At bottom, you should hesitate before giving away the family farm for the latest altcoin. It may just be 2022's version of magic beans. Conclusion. Crypto may be too new and unattractive to some, while others see it as an established way of the future. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, in 2022 you're going to see cryptocurrencies more in the news and more in your life, business, and daily dealings. My best advice is where you have hesitations, reach out to trusted professionals and get your questions answered before buying, selling, or engaging with crypto.
Supreme Court Will Review Scope of "Wetlands" Under the Clean Water Act
On Monday, January 24, 2022, the Supreme Court granted certiorari to answer one question: whether the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals used the proper test to determine if wetlands are "waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act ("CWA"). The case first began in Idaho when two landowners were told to obtain a CWA permit from the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") before building a house on their property. The landowners argued the lot they wanted to build a house on lacks a surface water connection to any body of water and therefore should not be subject to CWA permit requirements. After much litigation, a Ninth Circuit panel of judges ruled for the EPA and applied Justice Anthony Kennedy's test from Rapanos v. United States that casts a wider net on jurisdictional waters under the CWA. The SCOTUS review will pit Justice Kennedy's broader jurisdictional view against Justice Antonin Scalia's narrower plurality opinion from Rapanos. The Supreme Court decision is expected to address which test governs wetlands and whether the Sackett's property is subject to federal regulation under the CWA. The case is Michael Sackett et al. v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency et al., Case No. 21-454, in the Supreme Court of the United States.
