Fireworks are a multisensory experience with sounds and colors and a thunderous finale people can feel in their chests – Drones can't replace this…yet
Two Intel drone technicians troubleshoot a choreographed drone display ahead of a 4th of July showing celebrating the holiday June 28 at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. This year's July 4th marks the 242nd year since the creation of the United States.
Christian Conrad, Airman 1st Class
SAN FRANCISCO – Get in the car, kids. It's time to see the Fourth of July drone show.
Towns in California, Colorado and Arizona – facing another season of drought and wildfire – are turning to drone shows as a less dangerous alternative to organized fireworks, encouraged by the development of jaw-dropping, choreographed shows such as the one Intel prepared for the Winter Olympics broadcast.
Travis Air Force Base outside San Francisco, just an hour south of the Yolo and Napa county fires forcing evacuations, is trying an Intel drone show this year. Aspen, Colorado, and towns in Arizona – which had shelved fireworks shows because of fire risk – are also experimenting with drone shows.
These displays have wowed viewers with their animated displays of hundreds of tiny, LED-sporting drones. But a trade group for pyrotechnics maintains: They're nothing without the "Boom!"
Intel's Anil Nanduri, general manager of its drone group, begs to differ. The Travis Air Force Base show will use hundreds of drones and feature a gigantic red, white and blue image of an American flag and California icons, all time-synchronized to music that will be broadcast for the viewers.
"For 12 centuries fireworks were the only way to light up the night sky. Now we have technology that allows us to do precision animation and storytelling – we can write words and draw objects in the sky," he said.
The Intel drone light show team produces the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 Opening Ceremony drone light show, featuring Intel Shooting Star drones. Intel is providing drone technology at the Olympic Winter Games in South Korea.
Some of the research conducted at the base on proper use of small aircraft overlapped with what Intel was working on, and base officials reached out to Intel first, said Capt. Lyndsey Horn, chief of public affairs for Travis Air Force Base.
"We thought, 'How awesome would it be to bring them out to the base and celebrate the culture of innovation and take advantage of our proximity to Silicon Valley?'" Horn said.
Travis Air Force Base has never done fireworks before because of fire danger in the area.
One-time drone shows are not cheap, though the cost is less per show if they are done over multiple days because the drones are reusable. But they still are substantially more than firework shows because the technology is still new and evolving. Nanduri said Intel is helping underwrite the cost of the Travis show. "This is a way to thank our troops and celebrate with them," he said.
Wildfire concerns
Given the high fire danger in the West, officials in several towns are switching to drones.
In Colorado, the Aspen Chamber Resort Association didn't even put in a permit request for fireworks this year because of the likelihood it would be denied due to the dry conditions. Instead, it's swapping out the traditional fireworks show for a drone show by the Great Lakes Drone Company. It will include about 50 drones and be presented to a medley of patriotic music.
Great Lakes Drone Company has received numerous requests for shows to replace fireworks in drought-prone states such as Colorado, California and Nevada, according to Reyna Price, sales and marketing director at the company.
In Cave Creek, Arizona, a bar called Harold's Cave Creek Corral has put on an Independence Day show for more than 20 years, says Rianna Riego, chief brand and wellness officer at Civana Carefree, a wellness resort that used to partner with Harold's. But town officials rejected firework permit requests due to fire risks.
Instead, Firefly Drone Shows, based in Detroit, will put on two shows this week, Riego says, and they will be drought-friendly and fur-friendly – meaning less stressful for dogs than a firework show .
Fire officials in California, which is experiencing sweeping, destructive wildfires earlier in the season than usual after a costly series of large fires last year, are happy to see the shift towards drones.
From a fire safety perspective, it's "definitely worth it to use a drone over live fireworks," said Lynne Tolmachoff, chief of public education for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, known as CalFire.
"We're starting to see them in bigger cities and areas that have the money to do the shows," she said.
Official firework shows are far safer than backyard fireworks set off by individuals, she noted. In California, for example, all fireworks shows are inspected and certified by the Office of the State Fire Marshall, which also approves what kinds of fireworks can be used.
But there's always a possibility of an incident or accident with fireworks even if it's an official show, Tolmachoff said.
"The drones are choreographed and programmed to ensure they don't fall across power lines, for example," she said.
The only reason to cancel drone shows is if there are high winds. Windless conditions are best, but Intel's drones can manage in up to 13- to 18-mph winds. Above that they are grounded for safety, Nanduri said.
During the Winter Olympics in South Korea, Intel had to scrap at the last minute a planned live show of 300 drones because of logistical problems. Instead, NBC aired a prerecorded light show of 1,218 drones Intel had launched in December.
Choreographed drone swarm shows have been around for at least three years, though they've increased significantly in complexity and power.
One of the first drone shows to reach a national audience was Lady Gaga's Super Bowl 51 performance in Houston in 2017. That show, which included 300 drones, had to be filmed in advance due to FAA airspace restrictions.
Drone shows were performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival show near Palm Springs, California, for the last two years and for Disney Springs at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida, in 2016.
Where's the 4th without the boom?
As cool as they may seem, drone shows have their skeptics – namely in the group that represents fireworks suppliers and manufacturers.
Fireworks are a multisensory experience with sounds and colors and a thunderous finale people can feel in their chests, said Julie Heckman, executive director at the American Pyrotechnics Association.
Drone shows, on the other hand, mostly feature a low buzzing, somewhat like a swarm of bumble bees.
"I don't think a drone display is going to make people 'ooh and ah,' " Heckman said. "There's a real thrill in being able to light your own fireworks. When they introduced lasers, it didn't take away from the firework experience at all."

Picasso's "Le Tricorne"
May 29, 2015- Ongoing
Update: The gallery where Le Tricorne is displayed will be closed to the public from March 16–April 2.
On display at the New-York Historical Society since 2015 is a masterpiece by Pablo Picasso – the painted theater curtain for the ballet Le Tricorne (1919). It is the first work by Picasso, and one with great wall power and a New York history, to enter New-York Historical's collection.
Pablo Picasso painted the stage curtain for the two-act ballet The Three-Cornered Hat (El sombrero de tres picos or Le tricorne). The ballet and curtain were commissioned by the impresario Sergei Diaghilev for his avant-garde, Paris-based Ballets Russes, the most influential ballet company of the twentieth-century. The ballet was choreographed by Léonide Massine with music by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla. It premiered on July 22, 1919, at the Alhambra Theatre in London with sets, costume designs, and the monumental stage curtain created by Picasso. Picasso biographer John Richardson once called "Le Tricorne" the artist's "supreme theatrical achievement." The production, which was conceived by Diaghilev and Massine during a trip to Spain, was enhanced by its many Spanish collaborators, including Picasso who also designed the costumes and set for the ballet.

Universe a result of random forces? Not likely
Bill Federer notes even astrophysicists are seeing the need for a Creator
By Bill Federer
"O, Almighty God, I am thinking Thy thoughts after Thee!" wrote astronomer Johannes Kepler in "The Harmonies of the World," 1619.
Johannes Kepler was born Dec. 27, 1571. An attack of smallpox when he was four years old left Johannes Kepler with crippled hands and poor eyesight. Overcoming these handicaps, Kepler took up the study of science.
The person most responsible for advancing the scientific method was Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626). Sir Francis Bacon, who helped found the Royal Society of London, wrote: "There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error; first, the volume of Scriptures, which reveal the will of God; then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power."
In his work, "Essays: Of Goodness," Sir Francis Bacon wrote: "There never was found, in any age of the world, either philosophy, or sect, or religion, or law, or discipline, which did so highly exalt the good of the community, and increase private and particular good as the holy Christian faith. Hence, it clearly appears that it was one and the same God that gave the Christian law to men, who gave the laws of nature to the creatures."

In his treatise titled, "Of Atheism," Sir Francis Bacon declared: "A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion."
A contemporary of Johannes Kepler was Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who made the first practical use of the telescope. Galileo stated: "I am inclined to think that the authority of Holy Scripture is intended to convince men of those truths which are necessary for their salvation, which, being far above man's understanding, can not be made credible by any learning, or any other means than revelation by the Holy Spirit."
Galileo's work gave credence to the heliocentric theory of Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), where the sun is the center of the solar system, replacing Ptolemy's geocentric theory of the earth being the center.
Copernicus' heliocentric theory was advanced by Johannes Kepler, who at age 23 had become a professor of astronomy. Johannes Kepler discovered the laws governing planetary motion and pioneered the discipline of celestial mechanics, known as Kepler's Laws, which aided Newton in his formulation of the theory of gravitation. Kepler's publishing of the ephemeris tables, necessary for plotting star movement, contributed to the theory of calculus.
In book five of "The Harmonies of the World" (1619), Kepler wrote: "The die is cast; the book is written, to be read either now or by posterity, I care not which. It may be well to wait a century for a reader, as God has waited six thousand years for an observer."
In comparing celestial orbits of the planets with polyphonic harmonies in music, Kepler wrote in "The Harmonies of the Worlds" (1619): "Holy Father, keep us safe in the concord of our love for one another, that we may be one just as Thou art with Thy Son, Our Lord, and with the Holy Ghost, and just as through the sweetest bonds of harmonies Thou hast made all Thy works one, and that from the bringing of Thy people into concord, the body of Thy Church may be built up in the Earth, as Thou didst erect the heavens themselves out of harmonies."
In the conclusion of his treatise, "The Harmonies of the World" (1619), Johannes Kepler wrote: "I thank Thee, my Creator and Lord, that Thou hast given me this joy in Thy creation, this delight in the works of Thy hands; I have shown the excellency of Thy works unto man, so far as my finite mind was able to comprehend Thine infinity; if I have said aught of Thy glory, graciously forgive it."
Two centuries later, Yale professor Benjamin Silliman, who in 1818 founded the American Journal of Science and Arts, stated: "The relation of geology, as well as astronomy, to the Bible, when both are well understood, is that of perfect harmony. ... The Word and the works of God cannot conflict, and the more they are studied the more perfect will their harmony appear."
Complex patterns in nature seemingly confirm Kepler's belief in an Intelligent Designer. One such pattern is called the "divine proportion" or Golden Ratio.
Kepler's study of this ratio is a geometric progression called a Kepler Triangle. This irrational ratio, also called phi, is expressed as the decimal number 1.618. Expressed as an equation, it is called the Fibonacci sequence, where, beginning with zero, each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.
Greek mathematician Euclid explained it as when a line is cut in two, and "the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the lesser."
The Golden Ratio is seen in extremely complex geometric patterns called fractals, where each part has the same statistical character as the whole. The Golden Ratio is displayed everything from atoms to galaxies, snowflakes, crystals, to the petals of a rose and seeds in sunflowers and pine cones. It exists in nautilus sea shells and seahorse tails, from fish scales, to snake skins, to bird feathers, to the dimensional shape of an egg. It is observed in fluid turbulence, from the vortex of water going down a drain, to ocean waves, to hurricanes and tornadoes, and to the twisted shape of a DNA molecule.
Another unique aspect of the universe was noted by physicist Stephen Hawkins in "A Brief History of Time" (1996, p. 126): "If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, it would have recollapsed before it reached its present size. On the other hand, if it had been greater by a part in a million, the universe would have expanded too rapidly for stars and planets to form."
There are hundreds of parameters which all must be present or life on Earth would be impossible, such as:
If the Sun's gravitational pull was not balanced with the centrifugal force of the Earth spinning in orbit, the Earth would either be pulled into the Sun or fly off into space
If the Earth were 2 percent closer to the Sun it would be scorched and if it were 2 percent further away from the Sun it would be frozen
If the Earth did not have a molten core, there would be no magnetic field to protect the surface from deadly cosmic radiation
If Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system – with a mass 2.5 times all the other planets combined – was not exerting its immense gravitational pull, comets and asteroids from space would strike the Earth
If the Earth took longer to rotate, increased exposure to the Sun would make it inhospitable
If the Earth did not have a tilt there would be no seasons
If the Moon did not exist, the oceans would continually wash over the face of the Earth
If the Moon were not in its exact position, there would not be the precise gravitational pull necessary for ocean tides
Best-selling author Eric Metaxas wrote in the Wall Street Journal article "Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God" (Dec. 25, 2014): "In 1966 ... astronomer Carl Sagan announced that there were two important criteria for a planet to support life: The right kind of star, and a planet the right distance from that star. Given the roughly octillion – 1 followed by 24 zeros – planets in the universe, there should have been about septillion – 1 followed by 21 zeros – planets capable of supporting life. ... But as years passed, the silence from the rest of the universe was deafening. ... As of 2014, researches have discovered precisely bubkis – 0 followed by nothing. ..."

Metaxas continued: "What happened? As our knowledge of the universe increased, it became clear that there were far more factors necessary for life than Sagan supposed. His two parameters grew to 10 and then 20 and then 50, and so the number of potentially life-supporting planets decreased accordingly. ... Peter Schenkel wrote in a 2006 piece for Skeptical Inquirer magazine: 'In light of new findings ... we should quietly admit that the early estimates ... may no longer be tenable.' As factors continued to be discovered, the number of possible planets hit zero. ... In other words, the odds turned against any planet in the universe supporting life, including this one. ..."
Metaxas stated further: "Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life – every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart. Without a massive planet like Jupiter nearby, whose gravity will draw away asteroids, a thousand times as many would hit Earth's surface. The odds against life in the universe are simply astonishing.Yet here we are, not only existing, but talking about existing. What can account for it? ... At what point is it fair to admit that science suggests that we cannot be the result of random forces? ..."
Eric Metaxas ended: "Theoretical physicist Paul Davies has said that "the appearance of design is overwhelming."
Oxford professor Dr. John Lennox has said: "'The more we get to know about our universe, the more the hypothesis that there is a Creator ... gains in credibility as the best explanation of why we are here.'"

Birth Defects from Your Antidepressant?
Even under the healthiest circumstances, the transition into parenthood is never easy. When children are born with birth defects that could have been prevented, adjusting to the new phase of life can be that much more challenging.
If you took Depakote, Paxil or Zoloft while pregnant and your child developed birth defects, you may wish to explore your legal options.
Depakote (valproate sodium) affect chemicals in the body involved in causing seizures and is commonly used to treat various seizure disorders including epilepsy. Depakote is also prescribed to treat the manic phase of bipolar disorders (manic-depressive illness) and to prevent migraine headaches.
Depakote can cause severe birth defects when taken during pregnancy. Research has linked valproate sodium to Spina Bifida and other birth defects and cognitive problems in children.
In December 2009 the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) issued a warning to health care professionals regarding the risks for birth defects in babies exposed to valproate sodium. The FDA also required a patient Medication Guide to accompany every prescription of the drug. Results of a study demonstrated that women who took valproate sodium in early pregnancy had two to 12 times the risk of having a baby with one of six specific birth defects compared to women who did not take the drug. The American Academy of Neurology recommends avoiding the use of valproate sodium in pregnant women.
Paxil (also known as Paroxetine or Aropax) is an antidepressant known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, Paxil was approved by the FDA in the early 1990s. It is currently prescribed to treat various psychological disorders including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, and anxiety disorders. It is approved only for use in adults.
Evidence demonstrates that GlaxoSmithKline deliberately chose against adequately warning physicians and expectant mothers about the risk of birth defects when pregnant mothers took Paxil. Those birth defects include persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborn babies (PPHN) and heart defects, including holes in the heart and malformations.
In 2005, the FDA issued a safety warning for pregnant women stating use of Paxil put the fetus at risk for "congenital malformations, particularly cardiac malformations." As a result, GlaxoSmithKline added new recommendations to the warnings sections of Paxil, and the drug is no longer recommended for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
The FDA recognized studies documenting birth defects upon the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and issued a warning in 2005. Zoloft is one of three SSRIs the Mayo Clinic still considers as "an option during pregnancy." Paxil, also an SSRI drug, has very similar side effects and is currently recommend to be avoided. The FDA classifies Zoloft in the pregnancy class C and recommends it only be used if the benefits greatly outweigh the possible risks. Despite continuing evidence that this drug increases the risk of birth defects in children and several FDA warnings, Pfizer the manufacturer of Zoloft, has yet to warn patients of the possible danger.
Documented occurrences of malformation of the heart and lungs in the fetus or a type of heart and lung disorder called persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) at birth may be associated Zoloft. PPHN can lead to complications and even death. Zoloft also may contribute to complications for babies exposed later in the pregnancy. At birth the baby may experience difficulty breathing or feeding, irritable mood and impaired or excessive muscle tone and movement. These reactions may be side effects to the drug or to the withdrawal of drug. There are several conditions that indicate that your baby may have heart or lung defects. Please call a doctor immediately if your baby is experiencing grayish-blue skin color, difficulty breathing, cold hands and feet, unusual drowsiness, inactivity, shortness of breath, fast breathing, poor eating habits, fatigue, blue tinge to the skin and lips or slow growth. Other, more serious symptoms include swelling in the legs and feet, abdomen, fluid retention, and rapid or irregular heartbeat, murmurs, shortness of breath, chest pain or loss of consciousness.
The FDA issued a Public Health Advisory for Zoloft and several other antidepressants on July 19, 2006, warning that taking these drugs during pregnancy could increase the risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2006 found that babies born to mothers who used an SSRI antidepressant in the second half of pregnancy were six times more likely to be born with this serious lung disorder. The New England Journal of Medicine documented a "significant association" between Zoloft and septal defects in a 2007 study. A septal defect is a congenital defect that affects the structures of the heart and can be life threatening. According to the study, mothers who took Zoloft during their pregnancy could double the risk of having an infant born with septal defects.
Arterial Septal Defects and Ventricular Septal Defects (Hole in the Heart): Defects in which there is a hole between two chambers of the heart. Septal defects can lead to the improper circulation of blood, making the heart work overtime. Surgery is sometimes necessary to repair the defect and prevent future complications.
Coarctation of the Aorta: A form of heart defect in which a narrowing of the aorta occurs. The heart needs to pump harder to force blood through the narrow part of the aorta. If Coarctation of the Aorta is not treated it may lead to heart failure and death.
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS): A rare congenital defect in which the left side of the heart is severely underdeveloped. The right side of the heart is forced to pump blood to all the major organs and the rest of the body. This condition is treated with surgery or a complete heart transplant and requires constant care under a cardiologist.
Pulmonary Atresia: A birth defect in which the pulmonary valve of the heart does not form properly. A solid sheet of tissue forms where the valve should be and blood cannot flow from the right side of the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen. This condition requires immediate attention. Treatment options include heart catheterization, open-heart surgery, heart transplant, and in some cases, a lifetime of medication.
Pulmonary Stenosis: A heart defect in which the pulmonary valve of the heart is malformed. The result of this condition is that the malformed valve slows the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and may require corrective heart surgery.
Ebstein Malformation (Ebstein's Anomaly): A rare congenital defect in which the wall that separates the upper heart does not close completely. Less severe instances of this heart defect only require careful monitoring by a cardiologist but moderate to severe cases may require heart surgery.
PPHN: A condition that occurs when an infant's arteries to the lungs remain constricted after delivery, limiting the amount of blood flow to the lungs and therefore the amount of oxygen into the bloodstream.
Spina Bifida: A serious defect resulting in surgery and a lifetime of suffering and special needs. There is good scientific evidence showing that serotonin and SSRIs adversely impact the complex processes by which neural crest cells form the neural tube.
Tetralogy of Fallot: A heart defect usually characterized by a ventricular septal defect (hole in the heart), a right ventricular outflow tract defect such as pulmonary stenosis, and an overriding aorta. The result of this condition is usually cyanosis within the first year of life and open heart surgery is required.
Tricuspid Atresia: A birth defect in which the tricuspid heart valve is missing or abnormally developed. The result of this birth defect is that blood can't flow through the heart and into the lungs to pick up oxygen. The treatment for this condition is surgery, and in some cases, several surgeries to treat the defect.
Transposition of the Great Vessels: A birth defect in which the pulmonary and aorta arteries of the heart are switched. This results in a shortage of oxygen in the blood. Treatment for this birth defect is corrective surgery and is usually performed within the first few weeks of life.
There are several lawsuits against Pfizer the manufacturer of Zoloft. Average settlements are expected to exceed $1 million for each family.
In October 2009, $2.5 million awarded to Pennsylvanian family for birth defects related to Paxil use while pregnant.
In 2010, GlaxoSmithKline settled more than a hundred Paxil birth defect lawsuits out of for an amount pushing into the billions of dollars.
Depakote birth defect lawsuit, entitled Arrowood, et al. v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc., was filed in the Illinois Southern District Court on June 8, 2012 by 27 women.

I'm excited that I finally got my laundry drying racks installed in my house. It was just in time because the cold weather arrived this last weekend. They will be put to a lot of use this winter. I have experienced hanging clothes outside in freezing temperatures. I know what it is like to see stiff frozen clothes and diapers swinging from the line. They dried eventually, usually in about 3 days, as the sun evaporates the water from the frozen fabric. It can be done, but….it is not ideal! Hanging clothes inside during the winter is so much easier, especially next to a wood burning stove. They dry quickly, as well as put needed moisture into the dry inside air.
I have a smaller home which is less than 1000 square feet, without a basement. I do not have a room that I can dedicate to hanging laundry inside. I especially don't want to have clothesline strung throughout the house! I decided that I needed something functional (holding a lot of clothes) and aesthetically pleasing, as well as something that can be out of the way when not in use. Re-purposing a baby crib fit all those needs. Plus, I already had one! My toddler moved into a big boy bed and the next day I used it for my laundry racks.
I have seen so many versions of crib drying racks online. Most are made to be used for cloth diapers and an occasional clothing item that needs to be line dried. But I have a LOT of laundry. I really wasn't sure how much my drying racks would hold until they were installed, but I was pleasantly surprised. They held enough for my family of four, so that I can continue to only do laundry 2 or 3 times a week. I will continue to hang towels and sheets outside on the warmest days. If they take 2 or 3 days to dry, that is fine with me. But the rest of our clothing, I can hang inside.
For my wall rack next to the wood stove, I used the side of the crib. We hung it from plant hooks screwed into studs in the wall. It was important to find the studs because the rack will be heavy when it's full. Once the hooks were installed, I suspended the rack from the hooks. The online tutorials that I have seen, use a stick to push the rack out from the wall so that it is at an angle. I tried this, but all the clothes were bunched together. I prefer to have the rack completely horizontal so that as much as air as possible moves between the clothes. A post that my husband cut from a persimmon tree in our yard worked great! I could have doubled my space by using both sides of the crib, but I just don't have the wall space. This rack will be primarily used for socks and smaller items like my toddler's clothing.
The rack in my bathroom will be used for shirts, pants, sweaters, etc. I used the wire frame used to support the crib mattress and hung it above the bathtub. It fit perfectly in the space and I don't need to clean up a wet floor as clothing drips dry. For this project we used 4 L brackets screwed into the studs. We set the frame on top of the brackets and tied it down securely with wire. I put the clothes on hangers (with clothespins to secure them) and hung the hangers from the frame. I packed my clothes onto the wire grid pretty tightly. They would have definitely dried faster if I had less clothing so more air could move around them. But this is what I had for laundry that day. I wasn't too worried about it. As it was, they dried enough that I could move them that evening before we used the shower. They were still damp, but dry enough that I could hang them from the extra space in the closet without being concerned with dripping.
All of the clothing was dry by the next morning. 24 hours inside, as opposed to 2 to 3 days outside! I call that a victory! Plus I don't have to stand outside with freezing fingers hanging clothes for 20 minutes! As the winter gets here and we begin to use our wood stove most of the day, I believe that the clothes will dry even faster as the air gets dryer in the house.

I also used the side of my old crib for hanging laundry. I hung it from hooks that I had screwed into the beams in the basement ceiling. Instead of hanging the items on the wooden rails, I hung shirts on hangers and then hung the hangers on the rails. It held quite a few shirts in a small space. You could hang tea towels and washcloths on hangers as well. I also hang socks in pairs from the hangers using clothespins – 3 pairs per hanger.
Thanks for the tips Mary! I'm using hangers on mine also with shirts, pants, and towels. If I have clothes that are still dripping, I use my bathtub drying rack and then move them to my other rack next to the stove when they are not dripping. Clothespins on hangers work very well! I just need more hangers!
I love this. My babies are teen-agers, but I see cribs at thrift stores and yard sales all the time. I have one room that is the laundry/pantry/utility room. I would love to rig one up using a pully (I'm short) so it could be raised and lowered. You've gotten my wheels turning now – thank you.
We are a family of 9 and I would love to move out family out of this environment. We're wondering if you knew anyone that is doing this same living with so many kids. I want to know how they got started.

After the Pokemon Go workout in Central London, I have decided that there's nothing better than doing an 1 hour work out whilst catching Pokemon and hatching eggs at the same time! A few weeks ago, Virgin Active organised the first official Pokerun in the world, which took place on a Wednesday afternoon – on one of the hottest days this year, at London Bridge. It was aimed at all fitness fanatics who just can't get enough of Pokemon and I fit perfectly into that group!
The 5k Pokerun was lead by the personal trainers or Pokemon Trainers at Virgin Active Walbrook. Before the big day, these fantastic Pokemon trainers planned the running route with 7 Pokestops (or workout stops). At each of the Pokestops, we spent a few minutes doing circuit workout, consisting of burpees, push ups, squats, triceps dips and so on. It was so tough! But it made the one minute Pokemon catching session after the workout extremely rewarding.
I think the best part of the Pokerun were the lures activated by the team at Virgin Active! There were literally a trail of lures throughout the run and at each Poke-workout-stop. Despite meeting tons of Drowsees, Rattatas and Pidgeys, we also bumped into a Squirtle, Slowpoke, Lickitung, Jynx and an Electrobuzz! Yes, an Electrobuzz… which of course, required an emergency stop! Running with Pokemon Go is also a great way to hatch eggs and I got a Pinsir from my 10k egg. It was epic!
There were definitely a few onlookers baffled by what we were doing and some also took pictures of this Pokemon madness! Nevertheless, some people even recognised us as "Pokemon Go" trainers as the caps gave it away. 🙂 Some people even joined in for a bit of the run, whilst others thought we were insane!
Unfortunately, this is an one off event and not a regular class you can attend! :'( However, do check out the #MyWorkoutFor hashtag on Twitter and discover more exciting exercising event organised by Virgin Active! I'm not the only one who was obsessed about the event! The Pokerun was also featured on the Metro, The Telegraph, Gay Times and Daily Mail!

Huddersfield Town 3-2 Blackpool: Jordan Gabriel's needless red card costs Seasiders in pulsating Boxing Day clash
Blackpool threw away a lead to lose to Huddersfield Town in a pulsating Boxing Day encounter.
The Seasiders were deservedly leading at the John Smith's Stadium and looked to be heading to a second straight victory.
But that all changed on the hour-mark when Jordan Gabriel was shown a second yellow card and needlessly sent off for a foolish challenge by the touchline.
Leading 2-1 at the time, Neil Critchley's men would later concede twice in the space of four minutes to suffer a cruel defeat on the road.
Jerry Yates had earlier put them in front inside the opening 60 seconds with his second goal in as many games, while Gary Madine restored Pool's lead after the visitors had been pegged back.
Blackpool's team selection was impacted by a handful of positive cases and some injuries, although the disruption was kept to a minimum.
Reece James, Ryan Wintle and Shayne Lavery dropped out of the starting line-up as Critchley made three changes to the side that beat Peterborough United last week.
The Seasiders were leading before Jordan Gabriel's needless dismissal
The main talking point was the emergence of Daniel Gretarsson, who was handed his first league start of the season in the centre of defence.
That saw James Husband move back over to left-back in James' absence.
Elsewhere, Sonny Carey replaced Wintle in the centre of midfield after coming off the bench to score against Posh last week.
Yates, who also found the back of the net after coming on as a substitute, was rewarded with a start in place of Lavery.
James and Wintle weren't named in the squad at all, but Richard Keogh was named among the substitutes after recovering from Covid.
Demetri Mitchell, CJ Hamiton and Tyreece John-Jules all came back into the fold and were named among the subs.
Callum Connolly and Owen Dale, who were both on the bench against Posh, weren't involved in the 18.
Chris Maxwell (quad), Luke Garbutt (knee), Kevin Stewart (ankle), Matty Virtue (ACL) and Grant Ward (achilles) all remain sidelined.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, made one change to their side from their 3-2 win against Bristol City, as Levi Colwill missed out through illness.
Blackpool were roared on by 2,300 Seasiders in the sold-out away end, while the Terriers were also backed by a healthy home following – making for a rip-roaring start to the traditional Boxing Day encounter.
The Seasiders couldn't have dreamed of making a better start, as they broke the deadlock with their first attack of the game inside the first 60 seconds.
The goal was created by Josh Bowler, who pounced upon a poor pass out from the back to slip in Jerry Yates, who kept his composure to drill across Lee Nicholls and into the far corner for his second goal in as many games.
Unfortunately Blackpool's lead lasted just two minutes, as Danny Ward levelled with a planted header into the top corner which left Dan Grimshaw rooted to the spot.
Just as the game appeared to be cooling off a little after the electric start, Blackpool restored their lead after 18 minutes.
Gary Madine was the man to get it, picking out the bottom corner with a downward header that Nicholls couldn't deal with despite getting a strong hand.
But the goal was owed to Keshi Anderson, who did superbly in the build-up to beat his marker on the edge of the box before lofting an exquisite ball to Madine at the back post.
History almost repeated itself with Ward coming within inches of levelling for a second time, but on this occasion just two minutes after Blackpool's goal.
The forward, who could well have been in an offside position, stretched his right leg out desperately to get a touch onto Lewis O'Brien's dragged shot, but he couldn't quite stretch far enough.
Pool were given a major let-off midway through the opening half when a left wing cross deflected kindly into the path of Duane Holmes, who somehow managed to blaze over from just 10 yards out.
By the same token, Blackpool could easily have made it 3-1 when Anderson missed a glorious chance to extend his side's lead.
The chance was created by Yates, who waited and waited before picking out the unmarked Anderson with a defence-splitting back, but the winger could only head wide from point-blank range.
Pool looked so, so dangerous on the break, but another presentable opportunity came and went when Jordan Gabriel headed wide at the back post after Yates had flicked on Sonny Carey's cross.
The game was then delayed for a good six or seven minutes to allow medical attention for Tom Lees, who had gone to ground following an accidental collision with Madine.
The defender was stretchered off the pitch to applause from both sets of fans before being replaced by former Seasider Ollie Turton.
The long delay resulted in 10 minutes of time being added on at the end of the first-half, time which allowed Blackpool to create another good chance to extend their lead.
The opportunity came on the counter-attack once again, as Bowler pulled the ball back into the path of Carey whose swerving, vicious effort from the edge of the box was well saved by Nicholls.
Carey also had the first chance of the second-half, arriving late on the edge of the box once again only to see his shot from Bowler's pullback well blocked.
The Seasiders were controlling the game relatively well until the hour-mark, when their plans were rocked by Jordan Gabriel's dismissal.
The full-back could have few complaints about his second yellow having gone in late on Lewis O'Brien by the touchline.
Critchley immediately re-shuffled the pack, bringing on defenders Richard Keogh and Dujon Sterling for Bowler and Yates.
A minute prior to that, Huddersfield sub Jordan Rhodes had headed home only to be denied by the linesman's raised flag.
Blackpool were holding on well and, despite being down to 10 men, still managed to provide an attacking threat.
But, despite being afforded an extra sub because of the new concussion protocol, there were some tired bodies out there.
It finally caught up with the men in tangerine 10 minutes from time, when Sorba Thomas was allowed to waltz into the box before firing past Grimshaw.
It was then only a matter of time until Huddersfield completed their turnaround and lo and behold, four minutes later Thomas rifled home to put the home side in front.
The Seasiders threw everything they had at the home side in the final stages, even throwing Marvin Ekpiteta up front in injury time.
But they were unable to forge another opportunity and were left to rue Gabriel's moment of stupidity.
Huddersfield: Nicholls, Pearson, Sarr (Rowe), Lees (Turton), Thomas, Toffolo, O'Brien, High (Rhodes), Sinani, Ward, Holmes (Koroma)
Subs not used: Schofield, Ruffels, Russell
Blackpool: Grimshaw, Gabriel, Ekpiteta, Gretarsson, Husband, Dougall, Carey (Mitchell), Bowler (Sterling), Anderson, Yates (Keogh), Madine (Lavery)
Subs not used: Moore, Hamilton, John-Jules

Keolis awarded a new contract in Greater Montreal, Canada
Keolis has been awarded a new contract by Exo, a public transport authority in Greater Montreal, to operate 16 buses across Greater Montreal. The 12-month contract will take effect on 30th March 2020 and includes an option for two renewals of up to six additional months.
Dijon: the creation of a hydrogen production and distribution unit in a 'short circuit'
Dijon, a finalist in the "2022 Green European capital" competition which has been awarded the "Cit'ergie" label, is developing green mobility by increasing the use of renewable energies within the metropolitan area. The local authority has launched the creation of a unit for the production of hydrogen by electrolysis using "green" electricity generated by a household waste incineration plant.
Keolis distinguished at french national ranking of mobilities 2019
On the 10th of December, our achievements in Lyon, Bordeaux and Strasbourg were distinguished with four trophies at the 28th edition of the awards ceremony organised by the French magazine Ville, Rail & Transports.
Emblematic Network
Keolis, a trusted partner for major cities
Lyon, Stockholm, Bordeaux, Lille, Melbourne, Hyderabad, Rennes and Boston count themselves among the more than 20 major cities that have chosen Keolis to operate all or part of their public transport networks. Their trust in Keolis is founded on the Group's expertise in mass transit and its ability to implement multimodal solutions that respond to the diverse needs of a wide range of customers.
A diverse range of passengers
More than in any other area, metropolitan public transport systems must respond to the various mobility needs of a broad range of passengers, from professionals, families and senior citizens to university and school students. Passengers are matched in their diversity only by their individual transport needs, be they travelling to work or visiting friends. And, as our Keoscopie studies have revealed, the draw of cities also brings high numbers of visitors throughout the week.
All roads lead to Rennes
Whether travelling in Rennes for errands and appointments, shopping, culture, sport, work, loved ones, festivals or as a tourist, Rennes' STAR public transport network serves the needs of its 450,000 residents as well as over 1.2 million visitors to the city during the busiest six-week period of the year.
A multi-modal response to multiple needs
In order to meet the needs of such a diverse range of passengers, Keolis has set itself a clear goal: to provide each passenger with a mobility experience beyond expectations. This ambition is achieved in major cities by offering a range of complimentary transport modes. These include heavy rail, metro, trams, bus and coaches, bike-sharing services, car sharing and carpooling, autonomous shuttles, cable cars, and parking services, and the pedestrian zones linking these services.
Keolis, a leader in mixed mobility
Beyond its operational and management know-how in each transport mode, Keolis' main expertise lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate multiple modes of transport and offer solutions that are individually tailored to the needs of each city, every day, year on year. This is complemented by a complete range of passenger information solutions designed to make travelling easier and adapted to meet individual passenger needs. Passenger needs are met whether they are new to the network or daily users, are digitally connected or prefer more traditional information sources.
Custom made solutions adapted to cities' needs and limitations
In areas where space is limited, the creation of one-way priority bus lanes allows buses to cross intersections more easily
Another solution making travel easier for passengers is high frequency bus lines. They offer an attractive and easy to use regular transport service with increased operating hours and changes to the road infrastructure that helps to improve speeds. It is a mobility solution that can be adapted to suit individual markets and Keolis has put in place this system in Las Vegas, Metz, Nimes, Rennes, Tours and elsewhere.
As a partner in mobility, Keolis helps major cities to manage high volume passenger flows at large events such as festivals, conventions and major sporting events, by adapting their transport network package to meet their needs.
Slideshow - High level service offers and effective management for major events
Innovating with major cities
Keolis supports the development projects of major cities as demonstrated by their commitment to partnering in creating the urban mobility of tomorrow.
In the Confluence district at Lyon, Keolis and Navya have partnered to provide the world's first autonomous electric shuttles in public service. This innovative public transport mode is aligned with Lyon's aim to become a 'smart city'.
In Brest, Keolis commenced operation in 2016 of the first urban cable car service in France. Operating for 17 hours a day, seven days a week, the service is fully integrated with the existing bus and tram network already operated by Keolis.

After a few refreshing days away, I've decided to sell up my Toyota Sewing Machine and upgrade. Ideally I would like a Bernina, otherwise a Janome. As soon as I got back home I went round to the local sewing machine shop and had a chat with the friendly salesman. In an ideal world I would love to get a brand new machine but they have some very good 5 year old Bernina's for sale that are going for around £250. I have put my current sewing machine on eBay with some other items, we shall see what happens!

November 16, 1918: Municipal Journal. A Sanitary Survey of an Unnamed City. The conditions about which you will read were by no means unusual in 1918 in the U.S. "A State Board of Health a few months ago, made a sanitary survey of a certain city (the name of which is unessential) which was of more than usual interest, because of its thoroughness and the sensible recommendations based upon it….
The city in question has a population of about 30,000, of which negroes form a small percentage for a southern city. Although the city is not large, topographical conditions are such as to confine its growth in area, with the result that it presents many of the characteristics of a large, crowded city…. In 1916 fifteen cases of death from typhoid fever were reported, and it is believed that the number was even somewhat greater than this….A comparison of the distribution of the typhoid cases with the wells and privies indicates that the latter have played an important role in the spread of the disease, the typhoid areas largely coinciding with the unsewered districts, without city water. It should be noted further that these "typhoid areas" are located on steep hillsides where the drainage from privy to well is rapid and direct….
The water supply of the city is derived from the river that flows through it, the intake being located at a point near the upper boundary of the city. This river has a water-shed of 1,550 square miles of mountainous and rather thinly populated territory….Examinations of the river for miles upstream have shown its waters to be heavily polluted before they enter the city. While none of the municipal sewers empty into the river above the waterworks intake [thank goodness], there are two small runs draining an extensive unsewered area which is thickly populated….Thus it is seen that the source of supply isalways polluted to a greater or less degree, becoming at times a source of most extreme danger.Only the most thorough filtration and after-treatment can render a water of this character uniformly safe for drinking purposes. Unfortunately the skilled attention that is absolutely essential for the successful operation of a filter plant has not been had until recently.
Purification is secured by coagulation and sedimentation, followed by filtration through so-called mechanical or rapid gravity filters and final treatment with chlorine gas….Just before entering the sedimentation basins, the water receives its dose of coagulant consisting of lime and sulphate of alumina in amounts depending upon the character of the river water as shown by its alkalinity and turbidity….
The man who installed the original hypochlorite plant for final treatment of the water painted its virtues so very bright that he assured the water company that when the river was clear they need not use any chemicals except hypochlorite of lime.It is felt that this ill-advised suggestion may have been in part responsible for the epidemic of typhoid fever the city has just experienced.
From the sedimentation basins the water flows by gravity to the filters, of which there are ten units, each having a superficial area of 230 square feet. At a normal rate of two gallons per square foot a minute, or 125 million gallons per acre per twenty-four hours, the ten units have a combined capacity of about 6.5 million gallons a day. As originally constructed, each unit was provided with a loss-of-head gage, rate controller, and individual sampling pump, all of which equipment has now been dismantled. A loss-of-head gage is essential if accurate knowledge of what each unit is doing and of the proper time to wash is to be had. As it now is, the filter man guessesat the proper time to wash the dirt out of the filter by the position of the inlet float; the dirtier the sand, the higher the level of water on the bed and the more quiet the float—a rather round-about method.
After washing, the filters are allowed to waste for a short time and then turned into the clear well. The lack of any rate controllers on the filters makes it certain that the most recently washed units will be filtering far in excess of the rate for which they were designed. Rate controllers would prevent the units from delivering more than a definite maximum at any time. With as small a clear-well as the one here provided (approximately 37,000 gallons), the lack of this important device becomes even more dangerous in that the pull of the high-service pumps is thrown almost directly upon the filters….
Washing of the filters is effected by forcing water and air through them from below. The water for washing is taken directly from the clear well by an electrically driven centrifugal pump. As has been previously noted, washing cannot be conducted on anything like a scientific basis owing to the lack of loss-of-head gages. The filters are, however, washed at least once a day, and more often if deemed necessary.
From the clear-water well, which is located beneath the filters, the water flows to the high-service pumps, receiving on the way a final treatment with chlorine. Chlorine gas is an excellent sterilizing agent in water, and small doses can effect a remarkable reduction in the number of bacteria present. The chlorine gas is introduced by a direct-feed manual-control chlorinator. In this plant the fact that the dose is not automatically controlled is extremely unfortunate, and if the plant were not in the hands of a skilled filter operator would be a very serious objection….
Commentary: The hard, cold, and alarming facts related in this 1918 sanitary survey of an anonymous southern U.S. city make it quite evident why its identity was not revealed. The typhoid death rate of 50 per 100,000 people in 1916 is shockingly high for a city that is served by a water supply that was both filtered and chlorinated. Obviously, something is terribly wrong with the operation of the treatment plant and the condition of private wells. The person conducting the sanitary survey expressed some optimism about current personnel and operations, but a sanitary survey conducted a year after would be needed to see if that optimism was justified.
The problems related in this sanitary survey should make us all glad that we live in the 21stcentury where we are blessed (at least in developed countries) with safe drinking water supplies.

Well, AK i v about. . upgrade path gives you been waiting for the best couple of days into the AK i personal. We are happy you can inform you that AK team has just noticed us about the AK i V . online. upgrade file on all the DSi V . online. , which is alleged to be released while June th.

The KNTNA A grade premiership race is set for an exciting run to the line. Just like last year, the top sides are very even and the make-up of the final five is likely to come right down to the last round. The top five is set, with Penola (5th) having a good break on the rest of the teams, but inside the five things are very interesting. In saying that, some crucial games over the next few weeks could separate the top two or three from the others, starting with a vital game between the undefeated reigning premiers Lucindale and perennial grand finalist Naracoorte this weekend. The result is important, because if Naracoorte (3rd) lose, they will fall back level on wins with Bordertown (4th) and Penola (5th), opening up third spot and the double chance in finals. Naracoorte has made a huge comeback, losing their first three games of the season and now winning nine in a row. In the run home, Bordertown has the best draw of all the top five teams, not having to play any other top five rivals. With five rounds left, here is the draw for each of the top teams, with finals-bound opponents in bold: LUCINDALE (11-0) v Naracoorte, Padthaway, KLU, Penola, Mundulla KEITH (9-2-1) v bye, Penola, Mundulla, Kingston, Kybybolite NARACOORTE (9-3) v Lucindale, bye, Padthaway, KLU, Penola BORDERTOWN (8-4) v Padthaway, KLU, bye, Mundulla, Kingston PENOLA (8-4) v B/Districts, Keith, bye, Lucindale, Naracoorte If games go according to ladder position for the rest of the season, the ladder will look like: Lucindale 16-0 Keith 13-2-1 Naracoorte 12-4 Bordertown 12-4 Penola 9-7 Of the other A grade sides outside the finals, Border Districts have been the best, and but for some untimely losses could easily have been up in the finals calculations. Similarly, Mundulla (7th) has been very good at times and could have pushed for finals, while Kybybolite (8th) has done a great job to put together a capable A grade side and get four wins a year after sitting out of the A grade competition. Kingston and K/L United have both been very competitive at times this year and have been unlucky not to get more wins, while the young Padthaway side remains winless at the bottom but has shown plenty of promise that better things are around the corner.

» Fr. Ernest Paone – Archdiocese of Los Angeles
Fr. Ernest Paone – Archdiocese of Los Angeles
Horowitz Law | Sep 30, 2020 | Abuser Profiles, Catholic Church
Father Ernest Paone
Retired: 2001
1957-1960: St. Titus (Aliquippa, PA)
1960-1961: Epiphany (Uptown, PA)
1961: Mother of Sorrows (McKees Rocks, PA)
1961-1962: St. Monica (Wampum, PA) St. Theresa (Koppel, PA)
1962-1966: Madonna of Jerusalem (Sharpsburg, PA)
1966-2001: Leave of Absence/ Health Reasons
Summary of Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Father Ernest Paone:
Father Ernest Paone was ordained a priest in 1957. According to media reports, in 1962, the Pastor of St. Monica, where Father Ernest Paone was serving as Parochial Vicar, notified Bishop John Wright that he had interceded to prevent Paone from being arrested for "molesting young boys of the parish and the illegal use of guns with even younger parishioners."
Sheedy advised Wright that Paone was involved in "conduct degrading to the priesthood" and "scandalous to the parishioners." In response, Pittsburgh's Diocese reassigned Paone to Madonna of Jerusalem in Sharpsburg rather than having Father Paone arrested for molestation.
In August 1964, the District Attorney of Beaver County sent a letter to Bishop Vincent Leonard of the Diocese of Pittsburgh with respect to a sexual abuse investigation of Paone. The District Attorney advised the Diocese of Pittsburgh that "in order to prevent unfavorable publicity," he had "halted all investigations into similar incidents involving young boys." No further action was taken against Paone after the decision made by the Masters and the District Attorney's office.
In September 2017, Masters testified before the Grand Jury and was confronted with his letter, which the Grand Jury obtained from Diocesan files. When the Commonwealth attorney asked why he would defer to the Bishop on a criminal matter, Master replied, "Probably respect for the Bishop. I really have no proper answer." Masters also admitted he was desirous of support from the Diocese of Pittsburgh for his political career.
For approximately one year, Paone was without a clear assignment within the Diocese. In 1966, Wright granted Paone an indefinite leave of absence "for reasons bound up with your psychological and physical health as well as spiritual well-being."
Following this leave of absence, Ernest Paone relocated to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. In the subsequent years, he would require continued authorization from Pittsburgh's Diocese to remain in active ministry among the Catholic faithful and their children. This was demonstrated in documents obtained by the Grand Jury from the secret or confidential archives of the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
A Convenient Change of Location
During the decades between Paone's departure from Pennsylvania in 1966 and 1991, Paone served as pastor of a parish in Diamond Bar, California. Paone reported to the Diocese that his service included hearing "many confessions in that parish." Paone also served in two parishes in the Diocese of San Diego. Paone taught in public schools and attended at least one course at Catholic University in San Diego while maintaining all priestly faculties through the Diocese of Pittsburgh. There is no indication that the Diocese provided any interested parties information that Paone had sexually abused children or that the Diocese had played a role in preventing his prosecution for that conduct. As Paone continued in ministry, he did so with approval from the Diocese of Pittsburgh in spite of the Diocese's knowledge that Paone was a child molester.
Fr. Ernest Paone was permitted to transfer to the Diocese of Reno-Las Vegas in 1991 to serve as the Parochial Vicar at a local parish. Wuerl wrote that he had been updated on Paone's recent meeting with Father Robert Guay and Father David Zubik. Wuerl noted that Paone has most recently served on a high school faculty in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Wuerl's s continued approval permitted Paone to enjoy all the faculties of the Diocese.
Additional Allegations Made Against Father Paone
On July 25, 1994, the Diocese of Pittsburgh received another complaint of child sexual abuse committed by Paone in the 1960s. The victim's sister came forward and reported that after becoming aware of the abuse, her father "went to the rectory with a shotgun and told Father Paone that he better leave town." The Diocese sent him to St. Luke's Institute for an evaluation.
In a confidential letter sent to St. Luke's, the Diocese acknowledged that Paone had been teaching seventh and eighth-grade students in the Diocese of San Diego for 19 years.
Paone Gets Continued Support from the Diocese of Pittsburgh Despite Numerous Allegations
Further, in another confidential memorandum sent from Zubik to Wuerl, Paone's various assignments and sexual abuse complaints were again listed in detail. The Grand Jury noted that this process showed no concern for public safety or child sexual abuse victims.
The Grand Jury discovered that this 1994 complaint resulted in the generation of Diocesan records that noted an even greater extent of knowledge regarding Paone's sexual conduct with children. An August 1994, confidential memorandum sent from Zubik to Wuerl advised him of this new complaint against Paone and that due to this complaint, his file was reviewed "with great care."
Among other things, Zubik advised Wuerl that questions about Paone's emotional and physical health were raised as early as the 1950s, while he was still in seminary. Zubik further announced of Paone's various assignments and correspondence over the years, before also describing the multiple records documenting the Diocese's knowledge of his sexual abuse of children as early as 1962.
Wuerl responded by dispatching letters notifying the relevant California and Nevada Dioceses of the 1994 complaint. However, Wuerl did not report the more detailed information contained within Diocesan records. The Diocese did not recall Paone; nor did it suspend his faculties as a priest.
Only Great "External Force" Prompts Action
In January 2002, an article that detailed the Catholic Church's practice of reassigning priests accused of sexual abuse was published in the Boston Globe newspaper. In response, a letter was dispatched in May 2002, by Father James Young, Episcopal Vicar for Clergy and Religious, to Father Michael Murphy of the Diocese of San Diego. The letter advised him that due to the "recent difficulties in the Church and having raised the bar on allegations brought against our priests," the Diocese of Pittsburgh was removing the faculties of Paone and placing him on administrative leave. The Grand Jury noted that only this external force generated the action which should have occurred decades earlier.
In June 2002, another victim advised the Diocese of Pittsburgh that Paone was sexually abused in the 1960s. The abuse included fondling, oral sex, and anal sex. It occurred at the victim's house, at a hunting camp to which Paone had access to the woods and Paone's car. Paone also provided the victim with alcohol, pornographic magazines, and cash.
In July, the Diocese notified Paone about this new complaint. Then, in July 2002, the Diocese of Pittsburgh notified the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office of "inappropriate touching that occurred around 1962-63 when the alleged victim was age 15."
Approximately 41 years after the Diocese learned that Paone was sexually assaulting children, he finally retired from active ministry. Three years after Paone' s retirement, the Diocese of Pittsburgh received an update. A February 2006 confidential memorandum from Father John Rushofsky, Clergy Personnel, was obtained by the Grand Jury and revealed that Paone had been "assisting with confessions for confirmation-age children, apparently asking inappropriate questions of the young penitents." When questioned about this, Paone told local Diocesan officials that he had received permission from the Diocese. The Diocese dispatched a letter to Paone to remind him that his faculties had been revoked. Fr. Paone died in 2012.
According to media reports, in November 2018, Fr. Paone was one of 11 priests named in new civil lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse. His name was included on the Archdiocese of Los Angeles' Updated List of clergy credibly accused of child sexual abuse released in December 2018. It was also included on the Diocese of Las Vegas List released in April 2019.

Flyers in Spain: Dayton's trip in review
Grant Kelly
Updated onUpdated on Aug 16, 2016 at 4:35 PM
With less than 3 months remaining until college basketball tips off, the Dayton Flyers left the country to get some early work in. Just a couple days ago, Archie Miller's team returned from a 10 day trip to Spain that was highly successful. The Flyers began their trip in Madrid, then spent the second half of it at Barcelona. Dayton's whole roster made to voyage, allowing for a once in a lifetime experience and a whole lot of bonding time. Not only did the Flyers get to see some incredible sights, they also had the chance to scrimmage a couple Spanish pro teams.
Exhibition #1
In Dayton's first exhibition game they took on the Spanish Select. The Flyers struggled early inside the basketball complex at Real Madrid Ciudad, but battled back to make it a game. Despite Josh Cunningham putting up 12 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, Dayton fell in a close one 64-58. Sophomore forward Ryan Mikesell came off the bench and did a little of everything. He finished with 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Senior leaders Charles Cooke and Scoochie Smith both dropped 11 points in the Flyer's fight. Even though Dayton didn't come away with the win, they had no time to hang their heads, needing to regroup and switch cities before their final contest.
For their second exhibition game, Dayton hopped on a train to Barcelona where a tough test awaited them. The Flyers took on the Barcelona All-Stars and played an all around great game. Five Flyers scored in double figures as Dayton grabbed the win 83-73. Despite trailing 24-17 after the first quarter, the Flyers showed a lot of fight to come back at Palau Municipal d'escorts de Badalona. For those who don't know, that is the same arena the U.S. Dream Team won gold at in the 1992 Olympics. While it was only an exhibition, a win like this sends Dayton home happy and gives the Flyers a lot of confidence going forward.
Overall Takeaways
In the end, Dayton's trip to Spain was a huge success. The Flyers gained a lot of solid basketball experience playing against foreign pros. The two exhibition games enabled coach Miller to play a lot of guys and figure out what he really has heading into this season. Although Kendall Pollard did not play due to recovering from an injury, other guys stepped up. Sophomore transfer Josh Cunningham looked the best out of everyone. Cunningham carded a double double in both games and is certainly making a strong case to be the Flyer's fifth starter this year. Fellow sophomores Sam Miller and Ryan Mikesell also had impressive trips, while Scoochie Smith and Charles Cooke played great as usual. The trip to Spain not only made Dayton better on the court, it also brought this True Team closer together off of it. With the team chemistry and talent level at an all time high, the Flyers seemed poised for a big 2016-17 season.

Ready Set Rock este primul EP al formației americane de pop rock, R5. A fost lasnat independent pe data de 9 martie 2010.

Background
Foarte influențat și inspirat de formația americană de rock, Fall Out Boy, membrul Riker a descris EP-ul ca fiind mult mai punk decât albumele lor mai noi. Ross a spus de asemenea că EP-ul conține cântece care erau apropiate pentru vârsta lor pe acea vreme. EP-ul a fost lansat pe iTunes și Amazon, dar a fost șters de către formație după ce au semnat un contract de înregistrări cu DMG's Hollywood Records. Totuși, EP-ul poate fi încă găsit pe Last.fm și iHeartRadio. Cântecele au fost în mare parte scrise de Riker, Rocky, Rydel, antrenorul formației E-Vega (care a produs, de asemenea, albumul), și antrenorul lor vocal/compozitorul Mauli B.

Niciun single nu a fost lansat de pe EP, dar au fost lansate trei videoclipuri muzicale pentru cântecele "Can't Get Enough of You", "Without You" (în videoclip apărând și Lauren Hudson din The Stunners) și "Never". Videoclipurile pot fi găsite pe canalul vechi de YouTube al formației channel.
