Positive outlook for Neosho
Lee Ann MurphyNeosho Daily News staff writer
From #bringbackthebloom to a completion date for the I-49 corridor, positive energy is evident in Neosho. At the quarterly Neosho Area Chamber of Commerce update, Wake-Up Wednesday, participants heard news from the city of Neosho, Newton County, the Neosho School District, Crowder College, GROW NEOSHO and the Chamber.
Each had five minutes to share an update.
Neosho City Manager Leland Butcher was the first to share the latest.
"What a great day to be in Neosho," Butcher said. He referenced the recent public meeting, part of the process in applying for a grant for flood damage from 2017. "We will be contacting property owners who were affected by the April 2017 flood. This is going to be a long process."
Butcher also noted that projects are in the works to bring traffic lights to the intersections of Hammer Road and Missouri Highway 86 and Gateway Drive at 86. Another effort underway is what Butcher called a 25/30 effort.
"We want to know how our city will look in 25 years, in 30," Butcher said. A series of meetings to address this will take place in the near future. "You are key stakeholders in our community. We have some big issues to address. If you don't have a plan, you fail.
Newton County Commissioner Jim Jackson asked those present, "When was the last time you visited our courthouse?"
Jackson says long-needed renovations are underway and should be completed soon.
"It's going to look super nice when it's finished," Jackson said. "It's been more than 20 years since we've done any remodeling so it's overdue."
Dr. Jim Cummins, Neosho Superintendent of Schools, provided current details about the district.
"We're focused on project based learning and pathways to career or college," Cummins said. "We're very committed to the 5 C's in education, which are critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration and leadership and character. We are dedicated to a high level of of excellence in education in our district."
Cummins also provided the latest on the Goodman Elementary School project. The original school was destroyed when a tornado struck the Goodman community two years ago.
"Goodman is on target," Cummins said. "We may be moving in the week before school starts but I believe we will make it."
Cummins also said that a no-tax bond issue will be placed on the April 2020 ballot to complete some academic space, including tornado shelters for schools that lack them.
"We're also looking into updating our athletic facilities," Cummins said. "They remain the same as when I left them a long time ago."
Cummins is a 1984 graduate of Neosho High School.
Cindy Brown, Director of Public Information at Crowder College, provided the update for the college. Brown noted that summer enrollment is now open and that summer financial aid will be available.
Mike Franks, GROW NEOSHO, made his final public appearance as executive director. He introduced his successor.
"The most important thing today is to introduce you to Jake Heisten, the new executive director," he said. "We have a lot of good things about Neosho that are happening."
Franks stated that the date for the completion of I-49 at the Missouri-Arkansas state line has been announced and will take place in 2022. "Data indicates that there is usually a 50% business increase in the first two years after completion."
He expects this will positively impact Neosho. "We are seeing growth in our town. We have a lot of expansion going on around town."
Missouri Sugars is undergoing work that will double the size and capacity of the facility. Praxair is currently engaged in a 14 million dollar expansion that will double their operation.
"Let's all work together, grow together and support Neosho," Franks said in closing.
Neosho Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lauri Lyerla reported that membership in the chamber is up.
"We've had 57 new members since January," she said. "#bringbackthebloom has been more than I ever imagined. We've posted 64 jobs this month from members and our Facebook reach will be 100K this week."
As part of the #bringbackthebloom campaign to revive the Flowerbox City traditions, the world's largest flower box on North College Street is being renovated.
The special speaker for the quarterly update was Bill Snow, vice-president of La-Z-Boy Midwest in Neosho.
"Fifty years ago, La-Z-B Boy Midwest came to Neosho and broke ground," Snow said. He presented a short video detailing the history of the La-Z-Boy company from its' beginnings in the 1920's to the present. Later this year, La-Z-Boy Midwest plans a public celebration of their 50th anniversary in Neosho. "We have some of the best employees here in Neosho and we make some of the best furniture in the world.
La-Z-Boy Midwest came to Neosho in May 1969 to break ground on a manufacturing plant. By March 1970, the first 4 employees were in place. Today, 17,873,121 units have been built at the Neosho plant.
"We're almost at our 18th millionth chair," Snow said. "The most valuable asset we have is our employees."
This marks the second year for the Wake-Up Wednesday quarterly updates, according to Ashley Siler, Director of Communications and Membership Development. "Grey Oak Investments has been our presenting sponsor since day one," she said. "Robert DeVore has really helped make this what it is, this was really his brainchild."
The event was well-attended with a full house.


ALJ Pender issued Order No. 27 as an ID finding that Respondents Organik Kimya San. Ve Tic. A.S., Organik Kimya Netherlands B.V., Organik Kimya U.S., Inc. ("Organik Kimya") spoliated evidence in this investigation in violation of Commission Rule 210.33(b). Based on Organik Kimya's bad faith, ALJ Pender sanctioned Organik Kimya by finding them in default with regard to Dow's allegations of trade secret misappropriation. Additionally, ALJ Pender imposed monetary sanctions against Organik Kimya and its counsel, jointly and severally. See our December 2, 2014 post for more details.
According to the Notice, the Commission has granted motions by the law firm of Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett, & Dunner, LLP ("Finnegan") and attorney Ömür Yarsuvat ("Yarsuvat") to intervene in this investigation for the limited purpose of disputing joint and several liability for the monetary sanctions imposed in the ID. The Commission further determined to review the ID.
Accordingly, the parties were requested to provide responses to only two questions posed by the Commission. The first question relates to what types of notice and opportunity to present evidence and argument must be provided before imposing sanctions, and the second relates to duties that counsel may have under ITC rules, ethics rules, case law, or any other relevant sources.
The Commission is also interested in receiving written submissions that address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered. In particular, the Commission requested written submissions addressing the effect that an exclusion order and/or cease and desist orders would have on (1) the public health and welfare, (2) competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S. production of articles that are like or directly competitive with those that are subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. consumers.
Written submissions are due by December 30, 2014, with reply submissions due by January 7, 2015.


I registered the name "gwozdz.org" as a web site. I uploaded several of my old genealogy documents, as well as the new documents mentioned in this newsletter. Help yourself. This newsletter is there, too.
The Gwozdz page at MyFamily.com has our family tree. Mary typed it in a few years ago. This year, I updated it twice with all my most recent findings. You need a password for access.
The data that I submitted back in 1999 has been publicly available for a little over a year now, at the LDS site, www.familysearch.org. This year, it was published by LDS as part of CD #35. You can download a copy of that 1999 data from Gwozdz.org, but you need a genealogy program to read this PAF data base.
Among the documents available at my new Gwozdz site are copies of the family tree charts from the back of my genealogy book; you can click to those charts from the home page. If you do not have web access, please do not hesitate to ask me to mail you paper copies of family trees.
I spent a lot of time this year on the Gwozdz branch. Lots of findings. Page 2 of this newsletter is all Gwozdz genealogy news.
One new name this year. 1880 census. Mother of Nina Ripley: Josephine, 3-great grandmother of Holly. This is name 31 of 32 names needed for that column in the family tree.
Linda Kocisak spotted my data on the web and emailed me. From her family information, I determined that we are 3rd cousins. Her great grandfather, Marcelli Parzych, is the uncle of my grandmother Rozalia Pisiewski. My mother and uncles remember Marcelli as a grocer in Greenfield; Linda mailed me a copy of his picture.
Bessie Baird is a grandmother of my wife Barbara. Bessie's father is Jerome. The list of Jerome's descendants was given to me by Barb's family some years ago, so you probably saw it in my genealogy book. I had no information on Jerome's ancestors.
Andrea Autrey Marshall contacted me by email this May. She saw my Baird information on the web. Marshall is a 3rd cousin of my grandchildren. I suppose we saw each other years ago when I visited her parents, although neither of us remember. Andrea had lots of information on Jerome Baird ancestors, which she shared with me.
Andrea introduced me by email to other distant relatives of my wife who shared more genealogy details: Ruth Edwards and Leonard McCown.
The Baird line is now documented all the way back to a John Baird born 1665 in Scotland, along with a tentative identification of his parents and grandparents. John settled in New Jersey.
I wrote that web document as an expansion of the Gwozdz Notes section of my genealogy book. I included everything I have - all you want to know about the name Gwozdz and then some. It's huge, and boring toward the end, so I tried to put all the interesting stuff on the first several pages. Enjoy.
I noticed 2 other Kmiec marriages, which mentioned that the groom was from Luszowice. Luszowice is a parish only 20 km SW of our Gwozdz ancestral parish of Wadowice Gorne. I hopefully rented the Luszowice microfilms and quickly found my man Joe, along with his first wife and first child. His parents are new names added to our family genealogy this year: Wojciech Kmiec and Jadwiga Bielat.
The Luszowice records start in 1686! Unfortunately, parents are not named at marriage, so I could not put the families together into trees. My notes are available as a huge document, http://www.gwozdz.org/Luszowice.doc, on the Kmiec clan of Luszowice. Unfortunately, there are too many Kmiec people in Luszowice. I could not figure out which ones are the brothers and parents of our ancestor Wojciech Kmiec.
It's a heart breaker! The grandfather of Wojciech Kmiec is probably named in my notes. There are 10 possibilities - grooms and fathers around 1700. One of them is named Wojciech, and one of them is named Jozef, but there is no evidence to connect them to our family. An ID would have been the first name in my "column 7" of our Gwozdz family tree - a Kmiec 7-great grandfather of my children.
Same with Bielat. I could not figure out the parents of Jadwiga.
I proved this year that Carl Rapa is our 6th cousin. Sixth cousins share a pair of 5-great grandparents. We each have a 4-great grandfather named Ogorzalek. My ancestor is Mateusz Ogorzalek. His is Kasper Ogorzalek. I figure they are brothers.
I mentioned Carl in my 2001 Xmas update. His Gwozdz ancestors are also from Wadowice Gorne. I worked out his ancestral tree. Our Gwozdz branches do not connect.
I also proved this year that Carol King is our 6th cousin. Our common ancestor is Blazej 1 Gula, born about 1722. He is our common 5-great grandfather. Blazej 1, grandfather of Blazej 2 Gula, is one of the names I added to our family tree last year. Joe Armata connected me with Carol King, with an email 21 July this year.
In last year's newsletter, I was uncertain about Agata Strycharz. This year, I verified her name, and also identified her parents: Andrzej Strycharz and Agnieszka Wach.
I had been unable to identify the parents of Maciej Sypek. Unfortunately, there are 3 individuals born 1795 to 1801 named Maciej Sypek. I spent a lot of time on that this year. I was able to put together indirect evidence eliminating 2 of them, plus circumstantial evidence identifying the 3rd as our ancestor. With that ID, I can name his father, Jan Sypek. Maciej's mother is Katarzyna Strycharz. Strycharz, common in that parish, is a duplicate name in our family tree.
With Maciej's parents, that completes the list of all 16 great-great grandparents of my grandfather Piotr Gwozdz. I found Maciej's grandparents: Andrzej & Ewa Sypek.
This year, that's a total of four 5-great grandparents and four 6-great grandparents added to the Gwozdz family tree.

Bobcats Down Wolves, Move On To District Nine Class-AA Football Final Against Elkers (11/11/19)
on 11 November, 2019 at 17:38
(Above photo provided by Laura Burford: Cal German and Ethan Burford after the Bradford game earlier in the season)
The Clarion Area Bobcats downed the Kane Wolves 27-13 in a District Nine Class-AA Football semifinal game at E. J. Mansell Stadium in DuBois, on Saturday (November 9th). With the win the Cats will move on to face the Ridgway Elkers in the Title Game, this coming Saturday (November 16th). The game, also at E. J. Mansell Stadium, will start at 6:00PM.
The Bobcats had a great game on both sides of the ball, racking up 517 total yards (325 passing and 192 rushing), while allowing just 65 yards (63 rushing and 2 passing). This was a total team effort, with just about everyone, on both offense and defense, doing a super job.
Though the Bobcats had such a dominate showing, they did fall behind early, as the Wolves' Jake Alcorn fielded a Bobcat punt at the Kane twenty-five. He headed down the left side lines, made some nice moves and angled to the right sideline for a 75 yard touchdown, with 8:13 left in the first quarter. Aaron Hottel's point after was good, giving Kane a 7-0 lead.

After setting up at their own nine yard line following a Wolves' punt at 10:58 of the second quarter the Cats marched down the field, eating up exactly six minutes off the clock.
The big play of the drive was a thirty-five yard pass from Joel German to Ethan Burford, giving Clarion a first an ten from the fifteen. Several plays later, Austin Newcomb ran it through the center of the line for a one yard touchdown. Beau Verdill's point after kick tied the score at 7-all, with 4:58 on the clock.
Alcorn put the Wolves on top again, when he intercepted a pass at the Clarion twenty-three and took it down the right sideline for the score. The PAT failed giving Kane a 13-7 lead, with 3:27 left in the half. That would be Kane's last lead of the game.

Kane's kickoff went into the endzone and the Bobcats set up at their own twenty. They proceeded to drive down the field. Several plays into the drive, with the Cats at their own thirty, German hit Cutter Boggess on the right side at about mid field. Boggess took it down the sideline before being stopped at the Kane twenty-seven.
Clarion was stopped for a five yard loss, at the thirty-two on the next play. On the following play, German hit Burford, who got behind the defender along the right hash mark, in stride just as he was crossing the goal line with 1:04 left before half time. Verdill's kick put the Bobcats in front 14-13.
Two Bobcat records were set touchdown play. Burford passed Cody Hearst (2011-13) for career receiving touchdowns, with twenty-two. German passed John Katis (2013) for the single season passing touchdown mark, with 26 scoring strikes.

Later in the third, German, who was given great protection by his line all night, again found Burford on a big scoring aerial.
The Bobcats were set at their own thirty-seven. German dropped back in the pocket and hit Burford, in stride and behind the defender again, this time along the right sideline, at the Kane thirty. Burford ran it in from there for the sixty-two yard score. The point after was blocked and Clarion led 20-13 at the 9:35 mark.
The Bobcats were driving down the field and German hit Hunter Craddock with a nice pass covering 42 yards from the Clarion twenty-six to the Kane thirty-two. But the Wolves forced a fumble and recovered on the next play to stop the drive with 5:32 left in the quarter.
The Bobcats would score once more in the contest. After setting up at their own twenty after a Kane punt with thirty-two seconds left in the third, the Cats used mix of run and pass plays to drive down the field. German hit Boggess with a screen pass to the left; Boggess took it down the left sideline and was ruled stopped at the one. Two plays later German rolled right and hit Craddock in the back, right side of the endzone for the touchdown, with 7:39 left in the game. Verdill's kick was good setting the 27-13 final.

German completed 14-of-23 passes for 304 yards, 3 touchdowns and an interception. He went over the 2,000 yard mark on the season. He now has 2,087 yards and joins Katis (2013) as the only Bobcats to reach the 2,000 yard plateau and now has a record 28 single season touchdown tosses.
Burford finished the night with 5 catches for 176 yards. He now has 1,139 on the year, joining Hearst (2013) as the only Bobcats to surpass 1,000 yards in a season. His career touchdown reception mark now stands at 23 and his single season touchdown receiving mark now stands at seventeen.
Boggess had another big total yardage output, carrying the ball 20 times for 76 yards and catching 5 passes for 95 yards; for 171 yards of offense.
Newcomb, who was injured and sat out the second half, finished with 54 yards, pushing his season total to 1,209.
Cooper Shall had 7 carries for 51 yards. Craddock had 2 catches for thirty-two yards.
Coach Wiser: You want to talk about chemistry. When you face that kind of adversity, you really need to step it up and be positive with each other. On the sidelines, with all the kids, you could hear them saying positive things to our players on the field.
I thought Dave Eggleton made some great adjustments at halftime. I thought we had some young kids step up big time tonight. I can't say enough about those two sophomore backs. They made some key runs in the second half. And of course, the line opened up some pretty good holes too.
Even when we were losing, we were still controlling the clock, I think both halves… I thought that was the key. Defensively, I thought our guys stepped up and did a really great job, staying disciplined in their gaps and shutting down a great athlete, in that Alcorn. Someone said they had only two yards of total offense in the first half… That is hard to believe, but that's nice.
Cooper is a hundred and twenty-two pound Z back, he got a touchdown last week, his first one ever. And getting out there tonight. He had some nice runs. He's going to be a heck of a football player. We'd like to get him in the weight room a little bit more and see what happens.
They are a team. The best four-letter word you are ever going to see. I think it will carry us into this week. I think our kids will be excited after they enjoy tonight, and then get ready for Ridgway. And show that that wasn't our type of team that played them in the regular season.
(On the team's conditioning, that was a big factor in the game) Our kids work all year. It's in the way we practice. Our kids hustle all the time. We try to go game speed as much as possible. We play a lot of guys both ways, which is not what I like to do. We've got some nice young kids coming, but some of them had to step up today and they did a good job.
(Thanks to Laura Burford and Gary Wiant – Vinyl Graphics for the photos. Thanks to Nate McClaine for spotting and to Nate and the Tri-County Sunday for stats. Great Job Cats!!!! Beat the Elkers!!!!)

Labels provide several important functions from marketing a product and capturing the consumers' attention to communicating information such as product contents and instructions. Today's labels are moving beyond these primary functions to integrate digital technology to further connect with and engage consumers.
The widespread use of smartphones is driving this digital label trend. According to the Pew Research Center, 64% of American adults owned smartphones last year. By engaging with consumers, brands have the opportunity to market digital content in the store, online or at home to consumers to extend their marketing efforts.
There are a variety of digital technologies available for labels including: QR codes, digital watermarking, image recognition, and near field communication. We'll take a look at each of these and provide an overview of the technology and how it's currently being used for label applications.
QR codes are two dimensional bar codes which can be read by a camera enabled smartphone. They are often black and white but can also be embedded with color and even include graphics for added visual appeal. In order to read the QR code, an app is needed (many universal readers are available) to scan and read the code. Web site URLs that are embedded in the code are enabled once scanned to take a user to the link. There are many sites available for generating QR codes for the links which can then contain additional product information, a promotion, video, contest, etc. These codes are highly recognizable and relatively easy to implement.
A digital watermark involves embedding a digital mark into an image or background depending on the process build and complexity of the background. The mark is invisible to the eye but is detectable by capable smartphones and scanners. The watermark is embedded during the prepress stage. For printing, the same substrates, inks and coatings are used allowing a watermark to be used with multiple print methods or label formats. Watermarks are designed for a variety of end use applications similar to QR codes to take a user to a URL for promotions, coupons, videos, etc. The watermark can be applied to a part of the label or the entire label without being visible, allowing them to also be used to streamline the checkout process for increased throughput (Digimarc barcode solution). With enabled retail scanners, bar codes products do not need to be aligned for scanning – the package becomes the barcode. Specific apps are needed depending on the digital watermark technology used and the label will need some type of indication (logo, etc) to allow users to know it uses digital watermarking.
With image recognition, an image (photo, logo, etc) is used as the trigger for the app on a camera-enabled smartphone. For packaging, these have been typically used for augmented reality (AR) apps and require specific apps to be used. Augmented Reality puts a digital layer of information on top of what's seen in the physical world allowing a user to interact with a package. These applications have higher user engagement, but are more costly due to the extensive development of digital content (CGI) required. The packaging also needs to have some type of indication (app logo, etc) to inform a consumer that it offers an augmented reality experience.
Near field communication or NFC uses a chip embedded technology (signal transmitter) that enables communication between a device such as smartphone simply by tapping. NFC enabled smartphones have chips built in so there is no need to download an app to trigger the label with the embedded tag. NFC applications include taking a user to a URL for additional digital content as well as augmented reality apps for a more interactive consumer experience. The big benefit of this technology is that it doesn't require a user to download an app – Android smartphones are NFC enabled from the factory. Since it is an embedded chip, it is more costly to implement with the cost of the chip and insertion.
There are digital solutions available for all of the label formats we provide: cut & stack, pressure sensitive, roll-fed and shrink sleeve. Contact Fort Dearborn Company if you are interested in taking your package to the next level for increased consumer engagement, contact Fort Dearborn Company online or call (847) 357-9500.

Michael Lee is a Norwegian-American writer, youth worker, and organizer. He has received grants and scholarships from the Minnesota State Arts Board, the LOFT Literary Center, and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. Winner of the Scotti Merrill Award for poetry from the Key West Literary Seminar, his poetry has appeared in Ninth Letter, Hayden's Ferry Review, Indiana Review, Poetry Northwest, Copper Nickel, and Best New Poets 2018 among others.
Michael has worked as a dishwasher, a farmhand, a teaching artist, a social studies teacher, and case manager for youth experiencing homelessness. He is currently an MFA candidate in English Literature and Creative Writing at Cornell University and splits his time between Ithaca, NY and North Minneapolis. His first book, The Only Worlds We Know (Button Poetry) is now available.
For booking: Michaelleepoet@gmail.com
The Only Worlds We Know is, as Michael Lee writes, an "act of remembering like sharpening a blade until the blade is gone." Memory is shaped with a resolve that is without resolution in these moving marvelous poems. They beautifully track what happens when unspeakable grief refuses to be silent: erasures map "the grammar of mourning," bullets blossom into seeds, and tender elegies blossom into resilient odes alerting us to the world.
-Terrance Hayes
"Michael Lee has found newly slanted and richly tinged ways to write about some of the crucial subjects—love and love lost, recovery and addiction, the bullet and the pill. His clean lines and nothing-to-hide voice will startle and edify his lucky readers. No wonder he writes 'For my final wish, another/ final wish,' wishing to keep writing poems forever."
-Billy Collins
"The worlds presented in Michael Lee's The Only Worlds We Know often exist in the presence or aftermath of grief, violence, addiction, long Minnesota winters, and "enough funerals to swear off church for good." These are not easy poems, and Lee offers no easy solutions. Instead, we find a poet who wrestles these anxieties, not to resolve them, but to find a way to exist alongside them. Yes, there's wreckage here, but also "words that carry us into the dark and then beyond it." Indeed, these words will carry you. This is a striking debut collection—a voice that feels urgent, honest, and earned."
-Matthew Olzmann

A High School for the Homeless
The Atlantic.com
BY: EILENE ZIMMERMAN
Andrea and I sat cramped around a little two-top table at a Starbucks near her apartment, materials from her U.S. government class spread out before us. The handouts were photocopied news articles about teenagers pursuing The American Dream, the topic of an essay Andrea was writing. There was the Somali "Lost Boy" and his remarkable rise from child soldier to U.S. college student; there was a young woman who escaped the Taliban and made it to a U.S. high school, then college on a scholarship.
Like these teens, 17-year-old Andrea wants to graduate from high school, go to college, and pursue a career. But just hitting the first goal—high school graduation—has often seemed impossible, because Andrea's family has been homeless on and off since she was 12. For the last five years she has been a student at the Monarch School in San Diego, a school exclusively for homeless children. It's the largest one of its kind in the nation and the only one that serves high school students. There is no official accounting of schools that serve only homeless students but three are often cited along with Monarch: TLC, a public K–6 school in Stockton, California; Positive Tomorrows, a free K–5 private school in Oklahoma City; and Children First Academy, a non-profit K–8 charter school with campuses in Tempe and Phoenix serving students at the poverty line, the majority of whom are homeless.

The Ninety-Nine Percent Referendum: Southern Sudan Votes to Secede
by Heather J. Sharkey
Civil wars ravaged Sudan in the mid-to-late twentieth century. Most fighting occurred between government armies and southern "rebel" forces during two stretches of conflict, often called the "first civil war", waged between 1955 and 1971, and the "second civil war", waged after 1983. Southern Sudanese civilians bore the brunt of the suffering. By 1998, the U.S. Committee for Refugees was estimating that, after 1983, some two million southerners had died from war-related causes and more than eighty percent of the southern population had been displaced at some time. Greater Khartoum alone hosted some 1.8 million refugees from the war zones.[1] This second civil war appeared to end in 2005, when the Government of Sudan (representing the regime in Khartoum) and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM, representing southern interests) met in Naivasha, Kenya to sign a "Comprehensive Peace Agreement" (CPA). After so many years of strife, southern Sudanese people – both in Sudan and the diaspora – drew hope from the CPA's claim that, following a transitional period of government partnership, southerners would have the chance to vote in a referendum on national unity in 2011.
At the start, there were reasons to doubt whether the 2005 Agreement would either occur or live up to its promises. After all, it entailed a "Protocol on Power Sharing" and an "Agreement of Wealth Sharing" (with the latter mostly applying to oil revenues), but Southerners had heard similar promises before. Notably, in 1972, the country's then-dictator, Ja'far Numayri (r. 1969-85), signed the Addis Ababa Accord ending the first civil war, and made vows about sharing that the central government ultimately failed to fulfill. Another reason for skepticism in 2005 was that the CPA appeared to end the North-South civil war even as a new civil war was raging in the western (but still "northern") Sudanese region of Darfur. At the time, some analysts suggested that the westward shift of conflict towards Darfur was no accident, insofar as the Khartoum regime was using war as a machine for survival. War, after all, kept the government's armies busy and provided a means for co-opting potentially restless groups (like the Arab marauders, known as the Janjaweed, who came to double as the regime's counter-insurgency forces). Then, too, there was the problem of President Omar Beshir himself. Beshir had seized power in a military coup in 1989, in an alliance with Islamist ideologues. His regime was highly repressive. Yet he held a worldview that has been common among Muslim Arabophone nationalists in postcolonial Sudan, insofar as he believed that the one, big Sudan had a supreme Arabic-Islamic culture, and that Arabic language and Islamic religion could bind the country's diverse peoples together. Of course, what Beshir and his shrinking body of supporters in Khartoum regarded as an Arabo-Islamic "civilizing mission" for Sudan looked like plain colonialism to much of the rest of the country.
Considering these doubts, observers were wondering over the past six years whether the southern referendum would actually happen, according to the CPA's stipulation, or more accurately, whether the Beshir regime would allow it to happen. Few doubted that southerners, given the chance, would reject national unity. In this regard, the 2005-2011 transitional period looked like a stall tactic.
Yet, remarkably, the referendum proceeded, and southerners ran, elated, to the polls. From January 9th through January 15th, 2011, some ninety-eight percent of eligible voters, living in Sudan and in eight countries abroad, turned out to vote. At a ceremony in Juba, the southern capital, on January 30, 2011, officials announced preliminary results: nearly 99% of voters had opted for secession, including 99.57% of those who had voted within southern Sudan itself.[2] If all goes according to plan, southern Sudan – with a name yet to be chosen – will become independent on July 9th, 2011.
Again, the results of the poll are unsurprising in themselves. For southerners, the past half-century of Sudanese unity has been so grim that few will grieve over a break-up. Nevertheless, when historians look back on the events that transpired, they will undoubtedly confront a lingering question, namely: Did this vote have to happen? Was divorce avoidable? The familial term of "divorce" seems appropriate here, because Sudanese peoples have formed certain bonds in spite of the violence, for example, by coming to share the capital, Khartoum, as a domicile.
As the referendum was proceeding, BBC News Africa Online suggested that a vote to split the country was obvious and inevitable. Using annotated maps to explain the referendum, its website noted that, "The great divide across Sudan is visible even from space, as this NASA satellite image shows. The northern states are a blanket of desert, broken only by the fertile Nile corridor. Southern Sudan is covered by green swathes of grassland, swamps and tropical forest."[3]
But was Sudan indeed doomed to split by geography, or alternatively doomed, as the BBC also suggested, by colonial borders that paid little heed "to cultural realities on the ground"?[4] The answer is no: the approaching split was not preordained despite the country's inherent diversity. To succeed, a nation-state need not be homogeneous, though it must cultivate a spirit of mutual belonging. In Sudan, political choices over many years – not just geography or even culture – conspired to undermine the possibility of national unity. British rulers in the colonial period (1898-1956), followed by northern Sudanese rulers thereafter, treated southern Sudan with disdain and starved the region of opportunities. In the postcolonial period, successive regimes went farther by trying to plunder the southern region's natural resources. These battles over natural resources featured strongly in the second civil war, and involved first, Nile waters (and a project known as the Jonglei Canal), and second, oil, which Sudan first exported in 1999.[5]
Relative to northern Sudan, southern Sudan today is acutely underdeveloped. Once again, BBC News Africa online developed a series of maps to explain this phenomenon – maps plotting such things as educational distribution (the percentage of children who have attended primary school) and food insecurity (the percentage of households with "poor" access to food). "These maps," the website explains, "show the extent to which Sudan is already two nations – a richer, Arabic-speaking Muslim north and a poorer south devastated by years of conflict and neglect."[6] Secession, it implies, would only confirm this de facto division.
John Garang (1945-2005), who defected from the Sudanese national army to lead the southern resistance when civil war resumed in 1983, died in a helicopter crash in July 2005, just months after signing the peace agreement at Naivasha. His vision for Sudan will undoubtedly inform any southern Sudanese republic that emerges from secession. Along with other southern Sudanese intellectuals, Garang called for a Sudan that would be pluralistic, not monocultural – a Sudan that would recognize linguistic and religious diversity in contrast to the Arabo-Islamism proclaimed by successive postcolonial Khartoum regimes. Certainly the new southern Sudanese state will be more inclined to look towards the African interior than towards Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
What now? Should we be celebrating southern secession as a delayed chapter in African decolonization, as some have suggested? It would be wise to let caution temper jubilation. Consider, for example, that the southern Sudanese referendum coincided with the fifty-year anniversary of the murder of Patrice Lumumba (1925-1961), who was apparently killed with the support of CIA agents, in the newborn Republic of Congo. This "jubilee" year of Lumumba's killing offers a reminder and warning of how outside interference, in tandem with internal divisions, thwarted the process of state-formation for many of Africa's newly decolonized states in the mid-twentieth century. Such factors may yet destabilize southern Sudan. In short, could southern Sudan go the way of the Congo? It is not a happy thought.
Indeed, for southern Sudan, major challenges are looming. Most of Sudan's oil comes from the southern region, but the pipeline goes through the North and up to the coast at Port Sudan. Khartoum elites have enjoyed the oil wealth of the past decade and will be loath to lose it. Complicating the scenario is China, which has a large stake in Sudanese oil. China has proven itself willing in the recent past to overlook (or abet) human rights abuses in the southern oil zones.[7] Access to water – that is, hydropolitics – remains an issue as well, and Egypt will be sure to intervene to protect its own interests. Meanwhile, there is still Omar Beshir, deeply unpopular throughout Sudan, who has vowed to respond to a southern secession by making the North more "truly" Islamic. Reports suggest that southern people who came to northern cities as refugees during the 1980s and 1990s are now feeling rather uneasy.[8] Many of these people are Christians, and certain Khartoum churches are said to be emptying or closing as some of them leave and head southward. The motives for their migration are unclear. Are former refugees going "home" (wherever that may now be)? Or are they fleeing as religious minorities who worry about life in a northern Sudanese state that may become ever more Islamized?[9] Finally, there is the serious question of southern Sudan's own ethnic and political factions, and the record of internecine fighting that marred the second civil war. Consider the Bor Massacre of 1991, when soldiers of an SPLA offshoot faction, loyal to the ethnic Nuer leader, Riek Machar (b. 1952), massacred an estimated 2,000 ethnic Dinka civilians.[10] Can southerners hold fast to their goals and ideals in the face of all these pressures?
Southern Sudanese people are now living in a moment of great hope and excitement. They have much to celebrate, including their own perseverance and survival. But the road ahead will be bumpy.

A Career Devoted to Service
When Sarah C. Nosal, MD, FAAFP was four years old, she convinced her little sister that she had healing powers. This was a ruse of course and her sister quickly realized the truth, but the thought of having healing powers gave Sarah an idea.
"As it became clearer that my healing powers did not resolve all suffering, I decided I should become a doctor so I could heal them for real," Sarah said.
Growing up in Washington, DC, Sarah remembers taking field trips downtown and seeing men experiencing homelessness sleeping on grates, asking for money.
"It was at that time that I decided I wanted to do the kind of medicine that focused on those experiencing poverty and those experiencing homelessness as it was inconceivable that our nation's capital seemed to care so little for so many individuals suffering."
In high school at Georgetown Visitation, Sarah volunteered at a shelter for women and their children who had been subject battering and abuse, reading and providing books to the kids there.
At Bryn Mawr College, Sarah helped found the school's community service office, volunteered teaching science classes to inner city women and their daughters, and also worked with the people experiencing homelessness at the Catholic Workers free clinic. "I was never more fulfilled than when participating in service," Sarah said.
When applying to medical school, Sarah learned that the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York had a student-run free health clinic. She decided that that would be her school. She started working at the clinic her first year of medical school there. "This work has really revealed to me that healthcare is a human right and universal health care is something I advocate for on the state and national level."
Since graduating from the Beth Israel Residency in Urban Family Medicine, Sarah has worked at the Institute for Family Health were she has become a role model and leader supporting clinics providing care for underserved communities in New York City. She sees a wide range of patients, from the elderly to the young, treating as many as 35 people a day. She is also an HIV specialist and cares for people suffering from substance abuse and mental illness. "Our entire organization is focused on care for those underserved and providing primary care in impoverished communities and communities of color that have traditionally received inequitable access to care and had poorer health outcomes," Sarah said.
Sarah loves her job. She especially enjoys "earning the trust of a patient who has experienced unjust barriers to care and who has rightfully learned to distrust the system." Sarah also finds satisfaction in seeing her patients take their health into their own hands and feel empowered to change unhealthy habits.
And she loves the relationships that evolve. "Seeing multiple generations in a single day and the extended family of those family members is one of the greatest pleasures of being a family physician. It is really being the doctor that can meet the needs of entire families," she said.
Sarah is confident that she is well equipped her for the life of service she now leads and where it will lead her.

In padmasana, or lotus pose, you cross your legs and place your feet in the crooks of your hips, resembling the folded petals of the lotus flower – an auspicious symbol in many yoga teachings. Padmasana, the quintessential seated pose for meditation in yoga, requires open hips, healthy knees and consistent practice. Achieving lotus posture does not make you a better yogi or more spiritual person, but it does offer some benefits to those who can achieve it.
You sit in padmasana for meditation because it naturally helps lengthen your spine – keeping your posture pristine. According to the online publication of "Yoga Journal," some traditional yoga texts credit padmasana with awakened kundalini, or a latent energy that remains coiled at the base of the spine. Awakening your kundalini supposedly opens you up to certain mystical experiences and a higher physical and spiritual awareness. From a physiological perspective, padmasana also helps open your hips, which makes other yoga poses such as seated forward folds and twists more available.
No scientific studies have been done on the specific effects of sitting in padmasana, but yoga philosophy says it helps calm the brain. The pose may also stimulate blood flow to the pelvis, spine, abdomen and bladder. It stretches the tendons and ligaments around the knees and ankles. Because it helps open the lower body, it can ease menstrual pain for some and may also help prepare you for childbirth.
Sciatica manifests as pain, tingling, numbness or weakness in the legs caused by pressure or injury to the sciatic nerve. The intensity of symptoms vary from person to person, but can be quite severe. Lotus pose helps you stretch the hips and the deep buttock muscle called the piriformis. Piriformis syndrome – characterized by tightness in this small muscle – can be a cause of sciatic pain.
Your hip or knee structure may prevent you from achieving lotus pose. Many other poses offer the therapeutic and supposed spiritual benefits of padmasana. You can meditate in a simple seated pose or in virasana – also known as hero pose in which you sit on your shins with bent knees. Poses such as half pigeon, fire log and happy baby contribute to more open hips. These poses, as well as most standing postures, also address the tendons of the knees and ankle. A seated butterfly position, or baddha konasana, can help you stimulate the pelvis and bladder. Sciatica can be treated with numerous other yoga poses, including pigeon, gentle seated twists and downward-facing dog.

October 1, 2012 – 30th Anniversary of Cheers
The Jokes:
To prepare for debates, Obama is having John Kerry acting as Mitt Romney. Makes sense, Kerry has experience pretending to be a viable candidate.
Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey recorded his 20th win last week. Official are astounded, as it's the first time a pitcher has more wins than the team he plays for.
In Russia, a milk company is being sued for putting rainbows on their cartons, therefor promoting homosexuality. Also, the country of Russia is being sued for promoting stupidity.
Cheers Turns 30
On September 30th 1982 Cheers made it's debut. The pilot ranked the 3rd worst of all shows to air that week (74 out of 77) nearly leading to it's cancellation. Fortunately, NBC gave it a second chance and the show would go on for 11 seasons.
The show of course was also where the character of Frasier Crane made his first appearance. Kelsey Grammer played the character for 9 years of Cheers and then another 11 on the spin-off show Frasier.
For no reason, here's a quick photoshop of what the cast looks like today:

'Faith Runner' collapses 36km short of 10,000km in 100 days
by FR Newsdesk August 9, 2017
Samir Singh, an ultra marathon runner aiming to run 10,000km in 100 days, came agonising close to his goal only to collapse with exhaustion 36km before the end.
Known as 'The Faith Runner', Singh started his running challenge on 29th April, and spent nearly three months running through monsoon rains and the scorching Mumbai heat, without missing a single day.
On the final day of his challenge, the 44-year-old needed to run 150km (93 miles) to reach his target after falling behind schedule through illness and injuries.
But after completing 114km (70 miles), and within 36 kilometres of his goal, pain and exhaustion beat the five-time ultra-marathon winner, forcing him stop agonisingly short of 10,000km.
Singh's amazing challenge was compared to that of Forrest Gump, and caught the attention of documentary makers, who named him 'The Faith Runner'.
Singh, who survived on just £2.30 a day and donations, completed all of his running between Mumbai's slums and business district.
Locals also joined him on several stretches every day, similar to Tom Hanks' character in Forrest Gump.
At the end of his attempt on Sunday, 5ft 7ins Singh weighed just 40 kilograms.
Before his final run, Mr Singh had said: "My journey of running 100 kilometres per day is very challenging but I wanted to show the endurance limit of human spirit.
"If you have dreams, your body will take shape accordingly. My experience is testament to the same. God has given us our bodies and our mental capabilities define its limitations."
Not to be beaten, once he has recovered Singh plans to hit the road and this time run 40,000km.
Singh added: "I am happy so many people are invested in my story right now."
Vikram Bhatti, who managed Singh's campaign, said: "He was plagued by gastro-intestinal infections and contracted viral fever but has run 9,964km in 100 days."

So the #savefabric fight is still rolling on and like any PR campaign the trick is being able to maintain the buzz and interest from start finish, which to anyone in marketing will tell you, is easier said than done. Fabric is now entering the third phase of this much protracted offensive and to keep the home fires burning they have announced, in association with Houndstooth, an 111 track compilation, titled, as you'd expect, #SaveFabric. The compilation features exclusively recorded music from 111 different artists, among which include: Addison Groove, Audion, Dusky, Todd Edwards, Fake Blood, Mathew Jonson, Nathan Fake, Paleman, Roman Flugel, SMD, Skream, Special Request, Stanton Warriors, Tuff City Kids, Appleblim, DJ Tennis and Shackleton.
As im sure you're aware the start of this campaign began when the iconic London venue had its licence revoked in September of this year in the wake of two teenage drug related deaths, and for it's owners and supporters, will hopefully end with that decision being overturned come their appeal next month. Typically a club closure is about as surprising and insignificant as a Donald Trump twitter rant, yet with Fabric it has been a very different story. With 135,000 signatures of support and financial donations totalling £300,000 it is clear that Fabric's closure is far more culturally significant than your typical sticky carpeted, WKD serving, high heel beckoning clubbing loss. And here in lies the key to this compilation, can Fabric like other iconic UK music venues, (Brixton Academy, Royal Albert Hall, Nottingham Rock City to name a few) establish a cultural based necessity for its survival?
You have to think, looking at the evidence discussed above, that the answer to that question is a resounding yes, particularly when you consider that the iconic Berlin based equivalent 'Berghain' has recently been designated, in court, as a venue of High Cultural value. A ruling that, significantly, puts it in the same lower tax bracket as Berlin Theatres. Yet this is the UK we're talking about, where councils and nightclubs mix about as well as your best local wedding DJ!
The compilation will be released digitally on November 4th. You can pre-order it from the fabric website or Bandcamp.

The Passing Parade: Cheap Shots from a Drive By Mind
"...difficile est saturam non scribere. Nam quis iniquae tam patiens urbis, tam ferreus, ut teneat se..." "...it is hard not to write Satire. For who is so tolerant of the unjust City, so steeled, that he can restrain himself... Juvenal, The Satires (1.30-32) akakyakakyevich@gmail.com
Sunday school lessons...really
As I sat half-listening to the lector[1] at Mass on Sunday morning—my mother and the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church insist that I go to at least one Mass every year unrelated to someone getting married or dropping dead—it stuck me how much of the Christian Bible, that portion the bitter clingers refer to as the New Testament, is actually mail, twenty-one pieces of first class mail, in fact. I thought this a bit odd at the time. The Buddha found the path to enlightenment while sitting under a bodhi tree, Moses got the Good Word from a bush that burned without burning, thereby causing and preventing forest fires in one fell swoop, and the archangel Gabriel had to tell Muhammad to recite three times before the Prophet finally got the point and started reciting. But Christianity? Christianity comes to us via the faith of the Apostles, the sacrifice of the martyrs, and the exertions of the Roman post office.
Such a reliance on the post office, however, creates a number of problems for the serious student of Christian theology and early church history. Take, for example, Saint Paul's understanding of the Trinity. We would understand his view of this key Christian concept much better if the post office hadn't delivered his umpteenth letter to the Ephesians to an Athenian potter named Aristophanes, who intended to return the letter to the post office, he really did, but he unintentionally dropped it on the floor of the Registry Room at Ellis Island while on his way to his uncle's diner in Chicago and a new career in dish washing. Miss Bridget McGuire of Ballinalee, County Longford, Ireland, found the letter on the floor a few hours later next to an Armenian newspaper and a half eaten falafel and dropped the letter into the nearest mailbox. St. Paul's umpteenth letter to the Ephesians wound up in the dead letter file at the James A. Farley Main Post Office in midtown Manhattan where it rests to this day next to the letters to Santa Claus. The poor service did not go unnoticed; St. Paul called the post office to complain as soon as he got to Corinth; the Corinthians had a working payphone in the agora; and the answering machine he got promptly put him on hold. He was the 117th caller in the queue, but prayer and divine intervention moved him up to third, behind a gladiator salesman and an actor phoning in his performance of Oedipus Rex. He finally got an operator, who took his complaint and, as soon as the call was over, threw the complaint into the wastepaper basket. Sometimes having the Almighty on your side just isn't enough.
And then there is the question of what books did or did not make it into the New Testament. I speak here of the Gnostic Gospels, which may not have made into the biblical canon solely because someone thought that they were junk mail and threw them into the trash. There were few moments in ancient Roman life more annoying than going out to your mailbox in anticipation of seeing this month's Playboy's Girls of Pompeii issue with the Caledonian redhead with the admirable assets in the centerfold that you've heard so much about and coming away with a dense theological tract you didn't ask for in the first place. The early Church Fathers, on the other hand, did not much care much for the Caledonian colleen or her assets, no matter how admirable they were, and the Fathers determined that, as soon as they had their doctrines worked out and ready to go, they would go forth in a spirit of love and charity and convert the Caledonians to the True Faith, the better to make sure that shameless tart put some clothes on.
The Gnostic Gospels were themselves a cause of many complaints; the Gnostics mailed so many Gospels that they were clogging landfills throughout the Middle East. People simply weren't interested in what the Gnostics had to say and chucked out their gospels along with yesterday's newspapers and the other junk mail. The officials at the recycling station at Nag Hammadi announced that they weren't going to take the Gnostics' gospels anymore; they didn't have the room for them, and they asked the post office to stop delivering them. The post office agreed and the outraged Gnostics immediately sued, saying that the post office was infringing on their civil liberties. The Gnostics might have won the case–they had a strong case and a very good lawyer–if the Roman Empire hadn't fallen while they were waiting for the judge to set a court date. Timing, as they say, is all.
The barbarian hordes who replaced the Romans had no use for literacy or Christian theology and hence had no use for post offices, regarding all three things as vaguely effeminate Roman notions that no good barbarian would care to indulge in. When a barbarian wanted to send a message, he would go to the person he wanted to talk to and talk to them, or, if the message was sufficiently serious, he would cleave the other person's skull open with an axe. Skull cleaving was a much more effective way of getting one's point across than writing a letter and trying to remember if I and J were still the same letter or were they different now, and why hadn't Thomas Edison invented the W yet? It didn't really matter in the long run, as the barbarian hordes were, as mentioned, illiterate, and probably dyslexic as well, so the destruction of the Roman post office was a cost effective way to solve the problem: in a world where there is nothing to read, then the literate, the illiterate, and the dyslexic are all one and the same, and if they are all one and the same, then there's no point having a post office to remind them that they aren't. Barbarian hordes are more than vaguely socialistic that way, I think.
Of course, the end of the Roman post office was a boon for the Church. With no one to deliver their epistles denouncing each other as fools, louts, mountebanks, and ignorant calumniators stuffed with Irish porridge[2], the bishops had to hit the highways that still remained--not very many, all in all, as most good barbarians didn't believe in wasting good money on infrastructure--and go to ecclesiastical councils all over Europe in order to clarify what it was they believed. The people of the Mediterranean basin joked about the endless procession of bishops going hither and yon to councils, racking up frequent donkey miles at the Church's expense in the process. The bishops would smile when they heard the joke, and they would bless the peasants telling it, before having them all flogged to within an inch of their lives for their insolence. Didn't these poor schmoes understand that an unlimited expense account and the prospect of years and years of Club Med vacations was a powerful inducement for young men to enter the priesthood, especially those young men who found crusading in the Holy Land a bit of a chore? There's only so much hacking and slashing of Saracens you can do before it all becomes routine and you want to do something more interesting with your free time. There were a lot of those guys back in the day; the lengths some people would take to stay away from Vietnam were truly astonishing.
[1] The lector, in case you're interested in such mundane stuff, is the guy (or gal) who gives the first and second readings from the Bible during the Roman Catholic Mass. The order is: first reading from the Old Testament, then a Psalm, in which he (or she) reads a part of the Psalm of the day and the congregation answers with a line from the same Psalm, and then the second reading from any part of the New Testament that isn't the Gospels. Only the priest reads from the Gospels, followed immediately by the priest's homily for the day. Catholic homilies are usually much shorter than Protestant sermons, largely because the whole point of Mass is the stylized re-enactment of the Last Supper that follows the homily and is not, as it seems to be the case with our separated brethren, an opportunity to listen to some overweight man in an ill-fitting polyester suit giving you his opinion about what the day's reading meant at the top of his lungs. Nobody is interested in what the priest thinks about the Gospel reading; we want him to get on with Mass so that we can beat the traffic to Wal-Mart.
[2] An actual quote from Saint Jerome about the heresiarch Pelagius, for whom Jerome clearly had no use.
