Fact: Maryland is the wealthiest state in the nation based on typical household income. ($75,847) Fact: Marylanders were sold on the concept of casinos and gambling in Maryland because the money was going to go into the Education Trust Fund. Fact: In the last seven years, income from gambling has pumped 1.7 billion dollars into the Education Trust Fund. Fact: Maryland was ranked #1 in the nation in the quality of its schools for several years in a row. Now it is #5. Still pretty good. Fact: Maryland does the best job in the country of even funding of education throughout the state. At least it did up until a couple of years ago.
Now for the rest of the story. While it is very true that 1.7 billion dollars have gone into education from the gambling enterprises, it is also true that this money has been used to supplant the state money that used to go into education. That money has gone into salaries, roadwork and to support other government services. So even though a lot of money is coming in, a similar amount is going out the other end and not to schools. Sort of like a funnel. In fact, Baltimore City, one of the most strapped districts in the state, has actually received less money, not more, and it stands to lose another 42 million under the Governor’s latest FY 18 budget. And it has the Horseshoe casino right downtown.
One of the reasons Maryland has received credit in the past for having the most equitable spending is that Maryland has had an adjustment fund in addition to the mandated maintenance of effort funding required by law. This additional fund gave extra money to school districts such as Montgomery County that has a very high cost of living. It also gave supplementary funds to the poorer school districts to help them to compensate for lower local revenues. Last year, even though the State Legislature found the money to fund this compensatory fund, the Governor refused to allocate the funds. For the FY18 budget there are no monies appropriated for this fund.
The law that allowed the casinos required the profits to go toward school funding BUT that law did NOT require that the funds would need to increase state funding for education. And indeed, the profits have not. Instead the money has been used to supplant funding. Because the school state funding mandate requires the Governor to allocate more money to schools each year, he can assert that his budget has allocated more money than every other governor. That will be true next year and the year after that, regardless of who is governor unless the Legislature changes the law, which is not likely.
The casinos can continue to advertise that the profits from casino gambling are pumping millions of dollars into state education. This is true. Not the casinos fault that the Governor is using those funds to take the place of State funds, leaving schools no better off. In fact, in 2011, before gambling, Maryland spent $31 billion, 21% of its overall budget. Today with gambling, the State spends just 18% of its budget on education.
Maryland is the wealthiest state in the union. Why does it need to play a shell game and gamble with our kids’ education?
In 1975, The Education of All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) reborn as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) promised all children with disabilities a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). In 1982, a Supreme Court decision that later became known simply as Rowley, defined FAPE as requiring some educational benefit to the student in addition to being at no cost. That definition has pretty much set the standard.
However, as with Little Red Riding Hood, how much of “some” is just right. Parents have gone to court around our country to contest the benefit of the education their children are receiving. The various circuit courts have used differing terminology. The 3rd U.S. Circuit in Philadelphia in 1988 stated its view that Congress did not write a blank check to children and their families but neither did it intend only trivial benefit. That Circuit stated it believed the Congress intended meaningful benefit. In 2004, the 6th Circuit in Cincinnati sort of agreed by stating that it believed the statute provided a higher standard than the provision of “some” or “any” educational benefit. By 2011, it seems the winds were shifting slightly. The 8th Circuit was willing to accept a program that provided more than “slight” or “de Minimis academic progress. The opinion suggests that anything above de Minimis would be okay. Most recently in 2015, the 4th Circuit in Richmond (Maryland is under the 4th Circuit) determined that children receiving special education services must secure some educational benefit that is more than minimal or trivial.
Drew was in the 4th grade when this case started in Colorado. He is now 17. Drew is a young man on the autism spectrum. When he was in the 4th grade he received special education services. His behavior and academic achievement deteriorated. His parents said that the 5th grade program offered was just more of the same programming that had not worked. They withdrew him and placed him in a private school and thus began the family odyssey through the court system. Drew’s mom says she was advised at the beginning of the journey not to begin unless she was ready to go all the way to the Supreme Court. She was ready, but never expected the journey to go there.
The family’s position is that FAPE is not FAPE unless it offers “significant educational progress”. School districts have argued they could never afford this standard- whatever it is. Parents of plain kids have argued that this benefit is not offered to their kids. However, IDEA already creates a special class of children known as children with disabilities who have more rights than plain kids. Although the family has won some and lost some cases in this journey to the Supreme Court, they did gain a powerful ally, the Obama administration’s Justice Department when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on January 11. The school district has said “All the government can say for sure is that schools should ‘enable eligible children to make progress that is appropriate in light of their own particular needs and capabilities.’ But telling courts that an ‘appropriate’ education means a ‘significant’ one, which in turn means an ‘appropriate’ one, hardly helps them draw a principled line”.
School districts care about the kids they are trying to educate, but they are fenced in by available economic resources and the capabilities of their staff. Parents love their children and fear for their children’s futures if the children are not appropriately educated. They are fenced in by those fears of the future. What if enough is not enough? Humans with disabilities want a future. Their lives are constrained by the very disabilities that are getting them the special education. They are fenced in by their thoughts of having no future.
One bowl of porridge is too cold, one is too hot. The big question is will our children with disabilities get the bowl that is just right.

Your loved ones desperately want you to stop smoking. Your doctor wants you to do it, too. You can even get a discount on your insurance for quitting. Why are you still smoking? It is time to quit smoking for good, so use the following tips to help you give up the habit.
Look for a support group to help you stop smoking. The best groups have a mix of new quitters, and people who have quit for a while. There is great benefit in networking with people who understand the physical and emotional challenges you are facing. These people can become your friends, and offer you a wealth of advice that might help you to stay on track. Check your newspaper and local hospital for support resources.
TIP! Try hypnosis to help you quit smoking. Many people have found success with professional hypnotists.
If you absolutely must have a cigarette, using stalling tactics. Make yourself do some other activity first, even just taking a walk around the house or drinking a cup of tea. Sometimes, these delaying tactics provide enough time for the craving to pass before you ever light up. Even if you do succumb to the cigarette in the end, you will at least have smoked one or two less than you normally would have that day.
When you decide to quit smoking, tell your family and friends. When you tell these people you’ve quit, they will motivate you to stay committed. The help of these people can keep you focused on your plan to quit smoking.
TIP! You should try the delay tactic when you feel like you absolutely have to have a cigarette. Try to distract your mind and your body for 10 minutes by going for a walk or calling a friend; in this time your urge will probably have passed.
Concentrate on eating veggies and fruits rather than sweets to avoid gaining the weight that typically occurs when anyone stops smoking. These healthy snacks can help you maintain a steady weight. You body will be craving food when you stop smoking and a healthy diet will keep you focusing on a healthy lifestyle.
If your cold turkey effort to quit smoking failed, then get some extra help via products like nicotine patches or gum. These over-the-counter products will supply nicotine to your body during your quitting efforts. They can ward off the maddening physical withdrawal symptoms.
Use one of the many nicotine replacement solutions on the market today. Nicotine withdrawal can make you feel depressed, restless, frustrated or irritable. Cravings can often be overwhelming. To help alleviate the condition, consider nicotine-replacement therapy. Studies show that individuals who use nicotine gums, patches or lozenges double their chances of quitting successfully. Don’t use these products if you are still smoking, though.
TIP! If you simply cannot quit smoking straight out, make use of nicotine gums or skin patches. These over-the-counter products will supply nicotine to your body during your quitting efforts.
Altert others to your choice to give up cigarettes. They’re there to remind you and help you quit. If you surround yourself with a strong support system, it will be a big help in your battle to quit. Doing so helps maximize your likelihood of success, and gets you closer to your goal.
This article has given you everything you need to stop smoking for life. Once you are a non-smoker, you’ll enjoy better health, increased mood, and a longer lifespan. Use all that money you will save by not buying cigarettes and do something nice for yourself or somebody you love who supported you through the trials and tribulations of the quitting process!

Jockey Umberto Rispoli is out for redemption at Happy Valley on Sunday after he was beaten by the shortest possible margin last time out on Cheerfuljet.
The Italian jockey was livid following the defeat by Saul’s Special two weeks ago after his horse was in front before and after the finishing post, but was beaten on the line in a head-bobbing finish.
Rispoli, who is stalled on two wins for the season, looks to have his strongest book of rides for the term at Happy Valley on Sunday with the absence of five jockeys because of suspension.
Only premiership-leading jockeys Zac Purton and Karis Teetan have ridden more placings than Rispoli (18) this season, a sign that the tide could be set to turn if he stays close to the mark.
Cheerfuljet returns to Happy Valley in the Class Two Chai Wan Kok Handicap (1,200m), where he will be forced to carry an extra five pounds after his second last start which followed a luckless third earlier in the season.
“First time around [trainer] Caspar [Fownes] said he was a bit surprised about his performance, that he could run so close,” Rispoli said.
“Second time, everything was perfect, I had the perfect trail behind the horse, travelling OK, I overtook [winner] Saul’s Special by about a head but it just came back on my inside.
“I think the horse can run a decent race here but at the same time, with draw eight it is always a hard job to make it a race.
Rispoli will also ride fellow Fownes-trained galloper The Judge who is coming off a barnstorming win at Happy Valley two weeks ago.
The horse’s former jockey Vincent Ho Chak-yiu will ride Racing Luck in the Ting Kau Handicap (1,650m), giving Rispoli the opportunity on the horse.
Nicknamed the King of the Valley, Fownes has taken full advantage of the one-off Sunday meeting at Happy Valley, taking a total of 10 horses to the races, the most of any trainer on the day.
Another jockey in Chad Schofield is also looking to turn some unlucky form around on the Tony Millard-trained Khaki in the Class Four Tsing Lung Tau Handicap (1,200m).
Schofield fell off the gelding at the barriers in the horse’s first start for Millard last season after he was transferred from the Benno Yung Tin-pang stable.
He then went on to run a strong race first-up this season, where he was able to make ground on the leaders after being forced to go back to last from a wide barrier.
“He is a horse that is going well since moving to Tony Millard’s stable,” Schofield said. “He’s going really well, he’s had a trial at Happy Valley and has trialled nicely so he should be competitive.
Schofield too has been on the wrong end of a photo finish at Happy Valley after he was just beaten on the fancied Perfect Glory on Wednesday night.

They are the five little words that no computer owner wants to hear: “Your computer has a virus.” Unfortunately, despite all of your best efforts, there is always the possibility of a virus making it through to your computer. While a well-programmed virus may not create any recognizable symptoms, most viruses will affect your computer in some obvious way. Here are the top 10 most common signs that your computer has a virus.
Even a well-programmed virus that is supposed to sneak onto your computer without your knowledge may cause your system to slow down. Why? Because the software is using up so much of your memory that your computer can’t keep up with whatever it is you are doing on it. On the other hand, some viruses may cause a slow down because they are destroying files or otherwise wreaking havoc on your system. If the computer runs more quickly in safe mode than in normal mode, it is a good indication that you have become infected.
Another sign that your computer has become infected is a general lack of response. You might click and click on certain commands, but nothing seems to happen. Or, your entire system seems to freeze up and forces you to press Alt+Ctrl+Del to get out of there.
An infected computer may also start exhibiting bi-polar behavior – one minute it’s on and the next minute it is off for no good reason. A system that crashes and restarts for no good reason is likely to be infected with a virus. In addition to crashing and restarting on its own, an infected computer may go through this same process and then run erratically after it restarts.
#4: Where Did My Security Go?
Once your computer is infected by a virus, that virus may also go into your system and make unusual changes to your security settings, including dropping your Firewall. Of course, this leaves you vulnerable to a whole host of other viral threats as well, which will only compound your problem. In addition, because your security has been compromised, you may even find signs of activity on your computer that you didn’t initiate, such as a constantly flashing disc drive light.
#5: What Happened to My Big Report?
If your software applications suddenly don’t want to work correctly anymore, you most likely have a virus on your computer. Perhaps you can open your word processing application, but the fonts are all incorrect, documents appear to be missing or you experience other problems with using the software application. A common application-related sign of a virus infection is receiving a message telling you that your file cannot load because it “is not in the correct format.” In some cases, you may be able to open your files, but the content will be unexpectedly changed or some of it will be missing.
#6: Where are My Disks?
One sign of a virus infection is one that will surely illicit panic in just about any computer owner – suddenly not being able to access disks or disk drives. When you think of all of documents, photos, music files and other information stored on these disks or within these disk drives, the thought of it all suddenly disappearing is truly devastating.
#7: What’s Wrong with This Printer?
If you are suddenly unable to print from your computer or if the items you print do not turn out correctly, a virus infection may be the problem.
When a virus attacks your system you might also receive a number of unusual error messages. Some of these error messages may be legitimate ones from your computer as it tries to warn you about the problem. But, in many cases, these supposed error messages are actually part of the virus program and are designed to encourage you to take certain actions that will only make your infection worse. For example, you might receive messages from your Internet connection firewall telling you that a program needs to access the Internet. While the message may be sent from your actual firewall, it is the virus program that is trying to access the Internet.
A virus infection may also cause the menus and dialog boxes on your computer to be distorted. Or, it may make changes to your cursor, to your desktop wallpaper or even add icons to you desktop. Again, this could be your computer’s reaction to the virus attack, or it may actually be the virus running a program that is designed to trick you into thinking everything is still normal on your computer.
Pop ads that keep showing up at unexpected times or that won’t go away are another sign of a virus infection. Ironically, these pop up ads are often advertising antivirus programs. Theses ads even tell you that your computer is infected with dozens of viruses and may prompt you to purchase the anti-virus software in order to protect your computer.
It is important to note that some of these signs of a virus infection can be caused by other problems with your system. Therefore, if you are experiencing any of these problems or otherwise believe your computer may have become infected by a virus, it is a good idea to contact a professional computer repair specialist to help resolve the problem.

It is important to spend some of your time and money to someone who looks after your trees. You need to have a tree service contractor because it promotes safety. There are different types of trees that grow high more than the height of your house. Due to this, the branches may become fragile, and they may cause fatal accidents. That is why it is important to have tree service which will reduce the risks of getting involved in any accidents with your trees.
Tree service contractors will ensure that your trees are well prepared for any natural disaster by trimming and doing regular branch removals. It is, therefore, essential to know where and when to plant some types of trees. This is because some of the trees grow as tall as the electricity lines and they can end up causing electrical issues. Also, there are some of the trees that have huge roots that may reach water and sewer lines that may lead to water contamination in the nearby region.
Having Millersville tree services can help and educate you on the various methods of maintaining your trees. Also, other companies encourage tree removal as the only way of solving all the problems that are caused by these trees. It is crucial to care for your trees for them to remain beautiful, healthy and strong. The following are the signs that will enable you to hire a tree service contractor for your trees.
You need to trim your tree when its branches have grown too long. Some of the branches hang lowly making it difficult to walk under that tree. You need to cut these branches to prevent some of the damages they might cause. Whenever you have noticed that the branches have grown too long, you are therefore required to hire a Millersville tree service contractor to help you in reducing some of the damages or accidents.
It is important to hire a professional tree service provider who can help your tree bring back its normal shape and grow healthy. There are different situations that need a tree service contractor such as if a tree looks lopsided, broken or cracked. If a tree looks this way, it is difficult to correct, and it will end up damaging the tree. So call a tree service contractor the moment you notice this sign.
If your tree has a broken or a dead branch, it is perfectly acceptable that you remove that branch. It is important to remove those branches because if they are not removed, they are likely to cause insect infestation or diseases. Decay, infection and diseases they quickly spread to other trees and that are why you are required to hire a tree service contractor to help you in such situations.
It is perfectly acceptable that trees provide a shade from the sun. When you sit or stand under your tree, you are supposed to see the sunlight when you look up. If you do not, ensure that your tree is thinned.

Ezekiel 47:17 – And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
Ezekiel 47:19 – And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
Micah 5:5,6 – And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.  And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
I have established, in previous updates, that “this man” of verse 5 is “the peace” himself because he ends the earthly reign of “the Assyrian” at the battle of Armageddon, and then brings in “the peace” that lasts for 1000 years on this present planet. It is only Jesus Christ himself who has the power to bring such a thing to pass.
I believe verse 6 to be one of the most interesting verses in the Scriptures that have yet to be fulfilled. Why am I so certain it has never been fulfilled? Because Israel has not wasted the land of Assyria with the sword, or the land of Nimrod in its entrances thereof, since Micah wrote these prophecies! At the time he wrote the borders of the expanding Assyrian Empire covered all of modern day Israel north of Ramallah, all of modern Syria, all of modern Lebanon, and all of modern Iraq north of Baghdad. The historical settling of this area between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers after the flood in Noah’s day is of great value in the interpretation of Micah 5:6.
Genesis 10:1,6,8,22 – Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.  And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.  And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.  The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Assyria apparently derived its name from Asshur, the son of Shem. Later in time Asshur was worshipped as the chief God of the Assyrians. Asshur went into the northern area of the fertile plain lying between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, and his descendants that settled it were eventually called Assyrians. It is certain that Israel never wasted this area. Nimrod was the grandson of Ham through Cush. He founded a great kingdom between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, south of the area of Asshur’s descendants, that extended south to the Persian Gulf. The “entrances” into it from the east, which is the direction the Israelis would come to “waste” it, were the shallow sections of the Euphrates River that could be waded to gain entrance. The Euphrates was, and is, perhaps the greatest carrier of top water silt on this planet. The rapid descent gradient of its waters in the steep mountains of Turkey was able to sustain an enormous quantity of erosion debris cut off the mountain slopes, but when the water came onto the flat plains of modern day Iraq its speed was abruptly lowered, and the silt deposition rapidly built up lees across the Euphrates, making it possible for some areas to be waded. The long series of dams currently stretching from Turkey, through Syria, and into Iraq have helped to regulate the flow and silt deposition of the Euphrates, but at the time of Micah’s writings there would have been a plurality of wading entrances into the land of Nimrod across the Euphrates.
Now, why have I gone into such detail as to the locations of Assyria and the land of Nimrod? Because when Israel comes up out of the Negev at the battle of Armageddon, after having been confined there by the Assyrian for 1260 days, it will conquer a specified amount of territory to its north and east.
Malachi 4:1 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Zechariah 12:6-9 – In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.  The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.  In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.  And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Micah 5:6 – And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.Israel will claim all the land from the River of Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River, with a northern latitudinal border extending to Hamath (Hama) in Syria, and a southern border extending to Kadesh in the Sinai. And all this is not by accident, but by design and promise, for it was God’s ancient land grant promise to Abraham and to Israel. Its periphery is laid out in Genesis and Ezekiel. Its northern limits were to extend to the latitude of Hamath (Hama) in Syria, and its southern limits to the latitude of Kadesh. Its longitudinal limits to the west were to extend to the Mediterranean Sea and the River of Egypt, and its eastern longitudinal limits were to extend to the “entrances thereof” of the Euphrates River. This is the area of Micah 5:6 that Israel will “waste,” and then claim for a thousand years.
Ezekiel 47:17,19 – And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.  And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
After Christ has himself, by himself, defeated the Assyrian at the battle of Armageddon to bring in “the peace” of a thousand years, then Israel will roar north out of the Negev to mop up what is left of a demoralized army that is fleeing north. Israel will take Jerusalem back, then drive north, northeast, and east, to claim all the land west of the Euphrates River.
Isaiah 66:15,16 – For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.  For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
Zechariah 14:12-14 – And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.  And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.  And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Micah 4:6,7 – In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;  And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

Many of you have told us you’d like to create new geographic data using the data built into the geocoding database. And I am excited to announce you can do just that in Tableau 10 with our new custom territories!
Let me explain how it works. The first thing to know is that there are two ways you can create custom territories: by using groups or by assigning a territory field as a geographic role.
Simply select marks on a map to create groups. Rename your groups to represent the names of your territories, and remove the lower-level geography from the viz. Voilà! Your custom territories will render on either a point map or a filled map.
You can use the Edit Groups dialog to easily move features between groups. You can also turn “Other” on or off, depending on what you want to see in the viz.
When assigning a field to be a geographic role, you simply need to choose another lower-level geographic field to aggregate on.
1. Show sales territories: Sales territories are often built on low-level geographies like zip codes, with groups of zip codes defining individual sales territories. It’s now fast and easy to construct these in Tableau.
2. Group multi-national regions: Do you want to make maps of multi-national administrative regions? No problem. You can now represent the European Union with a single mark.
3. Aggregate postal codes: Use calculations to create three-digit zip codes in the US and postal code areas in the UK.
4. Compare geographic territories: Leverage this feature’s exploratory power. Examine what-if scenarios at the regional level. Compare geographic territories with ease.
Custom territories can be used with blending and data integration, so if your business data lives in another table, you can still visualize the data you want. Custom territories will work on point maps and filled maps. That means you can build proportionally-sized symbol maps and choropleth maps, just like you can with built-in geocoding data.
You might be wondering about the difference between custom territories and groups. You’ve been able to group in Tableau for years, but those groups always sit on top of the base unit. That’s not the case with custom territories. You can build your own territories, and then use those as your base analysis.
Under the hood, this feature is pretty complex. Imagine hundreds or thousands of polygons being unioned together, then dissolved to remove interior borders from adjacent polygons. Tableau is generating point centroids on the fly at lightning speed to keep you in the flow of your analysis.
We’d like to thank you, our community, for helping us build this powerful feature. Your suggestions and votes on the Ideas Forum helped guide our work. As you know, your feedback means great deal to us.
Speaking of your input, we’d love your thoughts on the Tableau 10 beta! We have a timeline for getting Tableau 10 out the door, but we’d first like to get solid usage in beta and fix any bugs. We want your feedback as early as possible to catch any issues and ensure the new features are great.
If you haven’t yet, check out our beta program to learn more and sign up. The beta program is available for existing Tableau customers. Customers with an active maintenance license can upgrade for free when Tableau 10 is released.
Right now, I don't see the ability to create a parameter between a county map and a custom boundary map. For example, I created a group called "Groups of Counties". I then created a string parameter with "County" and "Groups of Counties" and a calculated field with a case statement that picks either the County or Groups of Counties dimension depending on the parameter. When County is selected it works fine, but when Groups of Counties is picked it does not. If I drag the Groups of Counties dimension to detail it works fine, but not with the parameter.
Awesome features! Looking forward to the release.
Quick question - what software do you use to capture the nifty video snippets that shows the drag and drop. It is an excellent way to setup training for Tableau!
Thanks for the feedback. To answer your question about the "video snippets", I used QuickTime for Mac.
If you're seeking a free app, gifcam works great for a lean gif capturing app. I don't work for the company, just love the product!
The ad-hoc grouping is available now. The territory based on another field is coming in Beta 4.
Regarding creating the territory from another field: is there a way to also get County into the options of what geographies you can create from? I only see Country, City, State, and Postal Code. Thanks!
Is there a way to aggregate multiple zip codes into a few territories like this in 9.3? Or detailed instructions on how to aggregate based on the first 3 numbers of a zip code? The goal is essentially a territory map for a US metropolitan region where each territory combines several zip codes. Thank you!
with the great intelligence that you put in tableau 10 maps I sens that you could make available a function that joins/connects or at least groups data based on distance?
It's just like the sales territory example except that our "Regions" are made up of Neighborhood Councils (the polygons), rather than zip codes. I tried setting region, polygon ID, and sub polygon ID as geographic roles but don't see the little plus sign. Thank you!
This feature looks incredible! Thanks for paying attention to the mapping fans!
One suggestion for future releases. In order to make it 100% flexible, you should allow us to upload geojson, shape files, topojson or WKT. This is how "the unnamed company in Redmond" handles custom geos. We deal with shapes that aren't directly based on some lower level geo, so we'll have to continue hacking into geocoding.fdb and inserting our own rows. Which, by the way, works really well :).
If you're seeking a free app to capture your clicks, gifcam works great for a lean gif capturing app. I don't work for the company, just love the product!
can't you give the step by step? or you dont even bother with that? maybe because it doesnt work? i hate these sale speeches that dont deliver. we are all switching to clickview. BETTER.
I'm happy to tell you that the feature works and works well. You're right, not all of the details are in this blog post, but you can see step by step instructions in the Help. Here are some helpful links.
Feel free to reach out to your account manager if you're having problems. I can help you resolve them.
Good luck with that "Clickview" support.
I am in the US Navy and do analytical work. I am trying to create geo fields that allow me to break the oceans into separate polygons. Does Tableau recognize bodies of water/names? How do I develop my own "ocean" boundaries?

Flames tearing through Napa and Sonoma counties and beyond. Tens of thousands of acres charred. Residents displaced from their homes. Fifty-three years ago, a fire with eerie similarities to this week’s tragedy struck Wine Country.
On Sept. 19, 1964, a hunter’s discarded cigarette started what became known as the Hanley Fire, named for the ranch on Mount St. Helena where the blaze started. High heat and winds propelled those flames into a half-dozen other brushfires, which went on to burn 83,000 acres.
For a full week, the fires wreaked havoc across five counties.
The Nun’s Canyon Fire scarred about 7,000 acres and demolished a score of homes along Route 12 between Kenwood and Sonoma. The Mt. George Fire burned about 5 miles east of Napa and consumed a half-dozen homes and 7,500 acres. The Green Valley Fire was an eastward extension of the Mt. George Fire, dipping into Solano County and threatening several expensive homes — $100,000 mansions in the 1964 real estate market — and the Green Valley Country Club.
The Hanley Fire itself caused the most devastation, burning 53,000 acres and leveling 84 homes, 24 summer cabins and countless farm buildings. More than half of Calistoga’s 2,500 residents were evacuated to shelters. Eighty structures in Calistoga were destroyed, including the historic Tubbs Mansion.
According to The Chronicle’s edition from Sept. 23, 1964, a second related string of flames stretched 15 miles from Calistoga and destroyed 40 structures. It was halted on the north perimeter of Santa Rosa.
Peticlerc then quoted Grant King, chief of the Guerneville Fire Department, about the blaze’s spread.
Gov. Edmund G. Brown toured the fire area by plane and declared it a disaster area — as his son, Gov. Jerry Brown did for the Wine Country fires yesterday — and the Federal Small Business Administration followed suit.
Crews risked their lives and battled back the far-ranging flames over the next week, stopping the spread amid hellish conditions.
The inferno’s toll, though severe, was much less painful in the rural region than what densely populated Wine Country has experienced this week. Despite the tens of thousands acres burned, no lives were lost in 1964.

The Week in iOS Accessories: Stomp on it!
This week's roundup of accessories includes ways to use your iPhone or iPad with either your hands or your feet—or without either, if you choose.
Ardesco: It's a stand! It's a hook! It's a recliner! No, it's Ardesco's iHook (iPhone 4 and 4S; $19), a clever stand designed to perform all these duties while adding minimum bulk and weight to your handbag or pocket. It's slated for launch this spring and will be available in black, grey, red, blue, orange, or green.
Comfe Designs: This company's new $50 Comfe Hands iPad 2 stand is pitched as being ergonomically correct, making it possible to read and view content on your tablet without straining your wrist or hands. The device amounts to two rounded gripping pads—with grooves for your fingers—that fit over the bottom corners of your tablet; the Comfe Hands can display the iPad hands-free or be handled comfortably. Comfe Hands can be purchased through Amazon.com.
DigiTech: Guitar-playing iPad lovers have a growing universe of gear to consider. The latest product is DigiTech's $230 iStomp stompbox. The effects pedal is designed to be used in conjunction with DigiTech's Stomp Shop app, which lets users make in-app purchase of up to 24 stompbox effects for their guitars. Those effects range in price from $1 to $10—users can try each for five minutes without purchasing—though purchasers of iStomp will get their first two effects for free.
Mujjo: In this day of touchscreen phones, do they even make regular gloves anymore? All we know is that the market for touchscreen-compatible gloves grows by leaps and bounds every winter. Enter Netherlands-based Mujjo, which is now offering its own iOS-compatible hand-warmers. High-quality, silver-coated nylon fibers are woven into the fabric of the glove, allowing wearers to use their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch outside, even in the most frigid weather. The European manufacturer charges €25 per pair.
Scosche: Stuck out in the wild with a draining phone battery? Scosche has two new battery solutions—the $50 FlipCharge Burst, and its cousin, the $60 FlipCharge Rogue. The former can restore a depleted iPhone battery to up to 30 percent of a full charge; the latter can fully recharge your phone. Each comes with a carabiner clip to attach to your backpack or belt.
Studio Proper: Looking for a way to keep your kids quiet in the back seat? The $40 Headrest attaches your iPad to the back of a car seat, letting the tykes watch video, play games, or engage in other distracting activities. The anodized-aluminum mount has a flexible arm so your tablet can swing to a central position between the two front seats, letting all backseat passengers get a view of the action; you can display your iPad in either portrait or landscape orientation.
TwelveSouth: We know that iPads are often used in the workplace, side-by-side with a Mac. The $80 HoverBar formalizes that process, letting a user mount their tablet on a flexible arm that itself mounts to the back of your iMac. The iPad can then "float" above or beside your desktop computer screen. TwelveSouth says the design was inspired by Iron Man's Tony Stark; it certainly enables a new level of multitasking.

• make your own pickles, but became discouraged and overwhelmed with the amount of work involved with traditional recipes?
• make just one — or two — jars of pickles and not have to deal with canning them?
• introduce more probiotics into your diet, without the time, unpredictability and potential odors associated with fermenting your own vegetables?
Well, here’s a recipe that’s the answer to all of the above. These quick, easy and delicious fermented pickles are made right in the jar. They take very little work or prep time and are delicious, healthful and ready to eat in a week. Not bad for about half an hour of work!
I spent years searching for a recipe that would result in pickles that tasted just as good as the barrel-fermented ones I ate as a kid. “Manufactured” pickles pale in comparison. Like other prepared foods (or embalmed, as I think of them), they’re soaked in artificial ingredients and their goodness has been cooked out of them through pasteurization and high-heat canning processes.
Recently, fermented foods are becoming available at some grocery stores, which is handy if you don’t want the satisfaction of making your own or the privilege of adjusting seasonings to your own liking.
But to me, nothing tastes better than homemade. And nothing tastes better than a homemade something that was also quick and easy to make!
Last summer I finally found a recipe that not only resulted in great-tasting pickles, but also included natural lacto-fermentation plus raw vinegar, which takes the worry and extended wait time out of the fermentation process.
Now, when my garden is just beginning to produce pickling cucumbers and I don’t have enough to start an entire crock, I make one jar at a time using this recipe. You can make more than one quart at a time, just adjust the ingredients accordingly.
Next I’ll be experimenting with this recipe to pickle different vegetables… any suggestions?

Can these pickles be water-bath canned? If so, how long?

President Donald Trump’s executive order to repeal two federal regulations for every new rule issued has survived its first challenge in federal court. The so-called “2-for-1” order of January 2017 is the centerpiece of the administration’s regulatory reform agenda.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Feb. 26 rejected a challenge by anti-growth groups because the plaintiffs failed to show any actual harm would result from the rule. The court noted the groups did not identify any specific regulations being withdrawn that harmed them, only that the idea of doing so could hurt their members.
The court, however, did not preclude the groups from making future claims specifying particular regulations that have been withdrawn and caused actual harm. Because of that, ARTBA will continue to monitor the courts for further challenges to the administration’s 2-for-1 order.

I just got back, late Saturday, from a great trip visiting friends in Lancaster County and elsewhere.
I’ve got a lot to share in upcoming posts. But for now, a little summary.
7-number of settlements visited. In addition to the ones I mentioned in this post, I also dropped by Juniata County in central Pennsylvania. To visit all of these in a week, as you can imagine, takes a lot of running around, which is probably one reason I dropped unconscious on the couch for a long nap yesterday. Most of my time was spent in Lancaster County, however. More on these communities to come.
4-number of Amish markets visited. Amish markets continue their relentless assault on the greater Philadelphia area. Two that I visited were opened just in the past year or so. With one exception, most seem to be doing quite well. I’ll also have more on these in an upcoming post.
500-number of tomato plants I spoon-transplanted while at Abe’s (give or take a couple dozen). Winter is the time for getting spring plants up and growing. Abe, myself, and three of his workers (unmarried ladies, or “maids”, as Abe calls them) spent the better part of Tuesday in his greenhouse enabling this next stage of the tomato life cycle. Abe said that the tiny seedlings would soon begin to shoot up, now that their roots have ample room to stretch out in the spacious pots we plopped them in. If you’ve read my Amish business book you’ll know that Abe supports his family by growing a wide variety of organic plants, chief of which are tomatoes. These have names like German Pink, Limmony, and Cherokee Chocolate (alas, that last one still tastes mostly like a tomato. I’ve checked. Not sure how lemoney the Limmony is, though).
32 dozen-number of past-date eggs Abe and I picked up from the co-op he grows for. These still-good eggs, just a few days past expiration, would otherwise go to waste; Abe and his extended family will put them to good use.
4-number of games of Settlers of Catan played with Amish friends. Settlers of Catan is a very popular board game among Amish, or at least among Lancaster Amish. One Amish friend calls liking Settlers a “litmus test” for being Amish. Ironically, he himself doesn’t like Settlers or any other board games for that matter (he calls them “bored” games). Having played Settlers awhile, I can tell you it is a pretty addictive game. So maybe my bored Amish friend needs to give it another chance!
5-number of buggy styles in communities I visited. I almost got the “full Amish rainbow”–seeing black, white, yellow and grey-topped carriages. The only color missing was this one.
2 and 3/4-number of bonus pounds brought home thanks to delicious meals at every home I visited and a lot of time spent in the car. As one of my Amish friends remarked, Amish farm diets just aren’t suited for city folk (at least not, methinks, for the long-term). The best dish? Either the corn pudding, pork belly casserole, or the waffle-bacon-sausage gravy-syrup-egg-and-blueberry sandwich we came up with at the breakfast table one morning. Not sure you’ll find that one in any cookbook.
Only 2-3/4, eh? Apparently you have more self-control than do I.
I thoroughly enjoy reading about your adventures. You have a nice way of relaying the realities of life among the Amish with gentle humor an an honesty that is never harsh.
Wednesday I head back to northern Indiana and will spend ten grueling days visiting Amish kitchens, barns and workshops with my trusty camera and notepad. I’m running around all over in towns such as Nappanee, Bremen, Middlebury, Honeyville, Emma, Shipshewana, and Millersburg. I’m especially excited to revisit the tiny town of Emma; the friendly Amish staff at the Emma General Store serve an amazingly good lunch!
Oh wait, I’m exercising self-control this trip. Hmmm, never mind.
Enjoyed reading about your Amish adventures. Glad you are home safe and sound.
I loved reading this. I’ve just finished planning a trip to the Shipshewana area in June for their local Quilt Show and flower gardens. I can’t wait to go. I’ll visit my cousin, we’ll work on quilting and visit all the fabulous quilt fabric shops in the area. I love Yoder’s and Lolly’s especially. We plan to take pictures of all the beautiful gardens as well. I love the cheese factory there as well as the Dutch Country Market. Their jams and preserves are fabulous.
Shipshewana was the inspiration for beginning to quilt after I retired from teaching. Wish it was possible to visit a school sometime too. I think it would be very interesting seeing their educatdional system from a former teacher’s perspective.
Keep writing all the wonderful columns you share with us all.
Welcome back Erik!! Sounds like you had quite the trip. Sure did miss you!! Can’t wait for further posts and pictures!!
I, too, am looking forward to your future postings regarding your trip! (It’s almost suppertime here, and now I have a hankering for corn pudding! Thanks a lot! I had to up my Diabetes meds last week…I’m drooling!) How DO those Amish with Diabetes survive all the home cooking?
Keith sounds like you have a great trip planned. Emma and Honeyville are great little towns. If I’m right the Honeyville General store I believe was closed when I lived in Indiana in 06. But a great location. Would love to get back to Indiana.
Karen I’m sure you’ll have a great trip to Ship. I think you could visit a school if you had a connection; do you know someone in the community? As someone involved in teaching I think they would enjoy having you, and the children typically love visitors.
LOL…Erik, you are too funny….I have several questions I’d like to ask you…but I’ll give you a few days to rest……and the breakfast sandwich you had……I think I will pass on that one…….that’s way too much stuff at one time LOL….Sounds like you had a great time while you were gone…..I’m sure you’ll have some great postings for us and you can answer all of our questions eh?????
Erik….Sounds like you had a great time, but 2 3/4 pounds sound very low….you obviously must of worked off a few pounds that you are not counting. Glad to have you back safely.
I love reading your blog, thanks.
Semething I’ve always wondered about Amish buggies, in the photos they all look the same size. (I live in Australia, so I’ve never seen one in real life). Is there room enough inside to hold all the children in one Amish family, or would a large family have multiple buggies?
Mona, Kristin, Bob, I do appreciate it. I keep saying it was an action-packed visit. I usually need a couple days to recover after these!
Josie, great to hear from you in Australia. There is some variation in size and you will even see some that are really just two-seaters, with a pickup-like “bed” in the back. But most would have a bench and room in the back.
When the kids are small you are probably going to try to cram them into one, but at a certain point you do have to start taking two buggies. I’ve experienced this on a few occasions when going to church with Amish friends with sizeable families.
Thanks Erik – I look forward to hearing more about your latest trip! Josie.

Abigail Scott Duniway, born October 22, 1834, was an indefatigable leader in the women’s suffrage movement in Oregon and the Northwest. In her life she encountered both personal setbacks and political obstacles. She suffered poor health, money problems, and opposition from her own brother Harvey Scott, editor of the Portland Oregonian. She met with local resistance to women’s suffrage, witnessed the consistent failure of women’s suffrage referendums on state ballots, and grappled with divisions with Eastern suffrage organizations. Yet she persisted, and her steadfast determination paid off in 1912 when Oregon became the seventh state in the Union to pass a women’s suffrage amendment. Governor Oswald West asked Duniway to write the proclamation for his signature. Duniway had the honor of being the first woman to register to vote in Oregon. Abigail Jane Scott Duniway died on October 11, 1915.
This collection contains documents pertaining to Duniway’s suffrage work, her correspondence, published and unpublished literary works, and newspaper clippings and scrapbooks detailing Duniway’s political and social work.

Before the Trimble County junior high Raiders could even get an at bat Saturday afternoon, the Walton-Verona Bearcats had already put them in a hole by six runs. The tale remained the same by the time the fifth inning had concluded and the Bearcats left town with a 20-4 victory.
The Raiders opened the first round of the All “A” Classic at home Monday evening against the Walton-Verona Bearcats.
The first time the teams faced off this season was April 1, when the Bearcats walked away after three innings with a 15-0 win. Less than a week later, a chance to continue playing in the tournament bracket was on the line.
When the Lady Raiders completed an early season scrimmage against the Walton-Verona Bearcats, they sent their northern Kentucky foe back home with a loss, limiting the team to three runs. As luck would have it, the Bearcats returned the favor against the Lady Raiders, eliminating them from the Eighth Region All “A” Classic in the first round Monday night at Walton-Verona, 8-3.
The Raiders started its matchup strong with the Gallatin County Wildcats, garnering an early lead. However, as the night set in Gallatin would prove to be a formidable foe as they defeated Trimble 10-8.
Trimble had put a few runs on the board and was leading Gallatin County by one until the fourth inning.
After a fierce top of the second with five runs by the South Oldham Lady Dragons, it looked like they had sealed the deal against the Trimble County junior high Lady Raiders. However as quickly as they had gone up in points on the board, the Lady Raiders had answers and then some, retaking the lead and going on to defeat the Lady Dragons 10-7 Thursday at Lady Raider Field in Bedford.
In the search for a new baseball coach, the Trimble County Raiders have turned to one of its former players to help continue the program after last year’s retirement of long-time coach Frank Ragland.
Brent Taylor, a Trimble County alumnus from the Class of 2000, will serve as the program’s new head baseball coach. Taylor brings years of playing experience and community leadership to the role.
A tenacious defensive effort along with second and third attempts on the offensive end during the second half of play were the keys to the Ludlow Lady Panthers’ success in handing host Trimble County a 55-41 loss last Wednesday.

This issue of the Frontenac News marks the end of another year of publication for us. This little paper has now been published for 34 or 35 years. Our masthead says it was founded in 1971 but it might have started in 1970. While a lot has changed in that time - we no longer run the paper off on a Gaestetner and we don’t even use a hot waxer and flats any more - the basic mandate of the enterprise has not changed. Our goal is to provide a tool for communication between the various communities where we have distribute the paper, communities that did not have another venue for talking to each other back in 1970 or 1971.
Whether that is accomplished through Community Columns, Council reports, the Northern Happenings, the Classifieds, or articles or pictures submited by readers or generated by ourselves, we do our best to provide information and enterntainment that is specific to the region we serve.
Just like the founders of the paper back in the early 70’s, we couldn’t put the paper out for 50 weeks a year without the help of a great many people.
The paper is brought to your mailbox each week courtesy of our advertisers. It has always been important to maintain the Frontenac News as a free forum for all permanent residents and this means that it is the local businesses that make putting out the paper possible.
Then there are the volunteers: the Community Columnists, who take on the respnsible to gather information each week of the year and ensure that the comings and goings of all the villages are covered in the paper. With our minimal editorial staff, it would be impossible to adequately cover the territory without our Community Columnists: Evelyn Izzard, Ellanora Meeks, Jean Campbell, Ann Elvins, Rev. Jean Brown, Georgina Wathen, Susan Freeman, Ankaret Dean, Pearl Killingbeck, Maxine Purdon, Rose Marie Turner, Marilyn Meeks, Rhonda Watkins, Wilma Kenny, Doug MacIntyre, and Jean Lewis.
We are also fortunate to have a core of volunteers that help out in the office each week, doing typing, layout, copy editing and proof reading. Without them - well we don’t want to think about what it would be like to put out the paper without the efforts of Dale Ham, Donna Tysic, Marg DesRoche, Morrel Chaisson, Dale and Barb Whan, Martina Field, and Linda Rush.
This year in particular we have relied on our core staff to keep the paper going. Scott Cox, Garry Drew, and Suzanne Tanner have kept the paper running smoothly, day in day out, through another year.
During the summer we were fortunate to get some much-needed extra help from two students - Catherine Koch and Meghan Balogh. Meghan has stayed on as our webmaster and has done a wonderful job of re-designing our website: www.newsweb.ca.
We post major articles to our website but are kept too busy by the newspaper to keep with its calendar of events. We are very gateful to Bill Wilson of the Sharbot Lake Property Owners’ Association for taking on the job of posting the Northern Happenings on their website with a link to ours.
Finally our readers, who paticipate in the Frontenac News just by reading it, whether is is cover to cover as some kind people claim they do, or those that pick and choose what interests them. After all, without readers, The Frontenac News is merely mulch, fire starter, or bird cage filler. We don’t mind being put to use for those things, but we prefer to have been read first.
We will now disappear for our annual two week hiatus. We hope you enjoy this Special Christmas Issue. Our office will be closed from Dec 16 to Jan. 3, 2006. We will be back on January 5th to begin 2006, when we will turn our attention to a Federal Election and begin looking towards municipal elections. We wish all of our readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

If those figures are mapped against the UK adult mobile population of 48.5m it means that 23 million people received spam last month. Accounting for the number of messages that each person received, it means that there were 263 million spam messages in the last month, or 8 million per day. Surprisingly, it seems as though The Sun has been under exaggerating the figure. The DMA’s study has been widely reported by the BBC today.
The definition of spam is a difficult one. Legally, spam is where the recipient has not opted-in, however many mobile owners regard any message they don’t want as spam, even if they opted-in previously. For example a previous purchase is considered as a soft opt-in (provided it was stated in the T&Cs). It is quite acceptable under the regulations to send such messages, but not acceptable from a consumer perspective.
22% have received SMS spam from company the recipient had previously bought products from or made an enquiry with – technically a soft-opt in.
8 million spam messages per day is a lot. It could be argued that more than one fifth of these meet the regulatory requirements but consumers still see them as spam. The 8 million spam texts are just 3% of the 300 million messages sent each day in the UK. Compare that to email, where it is estimated that 78% of the billions of daily messages are spam. So why should 3% be a problem in mobile spam?
Mobile is very personal – this is the device that we have with us all the time. We don’t share it, and it’s the place that most of us communicate with our friends and family. Unsolicited messages in this channel are very intrusive. A DMA/IAB study last year found that there was a 98% recall of brand SMS. Clearly, people remember a text message – solicited or unsolicited.
People are not used to mobile spam – we have all learnt to live with a certain amount of email spam. That is helped in part by increasingly sophisticated spam filters and report spam buttons in email. Those management tools don’t exist for individual mobile users (yet).
Mobile spam is bad news for legitimate permission-based marketing – even in world of apps and mobile web, SMS is an important driver for brand marketing, service and CRM. For consumers it can offer a convenient and immediate communication tool. If there is a perception that the channel is full of spam consumers will be reluctant to give brands their mobile number. In the email channel, the service providers have a major issue getting around spam filters, black-listing of servers and getting consumers to open their message. This is where SMS could end up if spam levels continue to rise.
In the end, text spam will be dealt with by a combination of better enforcement from the regulators, better filtering by the mobile operators and consumers not responding to unsolicited messages. The DMA is doing considerable work in this area – watch this space for updates.

PHILADELPHIA (FOX 29) - A Chester County couple is suing the seller of a popular but controversial herbal supplement claiming it killed their son.
The family says authorities found a lethal concentration of something called kratom in 25-year-old Caleb Sturgis' bloodstream after a one-car crash last summer. With their lawyer at their side, they're sounding the alarm for others who may be using the supplement.
Caleb Sturgis' family filed into a Center City law office to hear their attorney make a simple, but powerful claim about the most popular herbal supplement you've never heard of: "Kratom kills and Kratom killed Caleb Sturgis," Civil Attorney Robert Mongeluzzi said. "It is addictive. It is deadly."
When the 25-year-old Sturgis was found dead after crashing his car off the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Chester County last June, it was believed he'd suffered a heart attack while behind the wheel.
However, a coroner's report weeks later, described the cause of death as "acute mitragynine intoxication."
"When he started to take this Kratom, his personality completely changed. He became tired. He wasn't able to be involved with things, but what we didn't know was that Kratom was gonna kill him," Caleb's sister Tanya Sturgis said.
"I was furious, really. I mean it was just heartbreaking over something that's supposed to be an herbal supplement," Caleb's father, Scott Sturgis, said.
The Food and Drug Administration recommends against the use of kratom, which it says mirrors the effects of opioids exposing users "to the risks of addiction, abuse and dependence."
The Sturgis family attorney Robert Mongeluzzi says the package purchased by Caleb, from SoCal Herbal Remedies, provided no such advisory.
"'Keep out of reach of children.' Other than that, there are no instructions, there are no warnings. It doesn't tell you how much you can take, how often you can take it, what its potency is," Mongeluzzi said.
The lawsuit against SoCal Herbal Remedies asks for money damages. Sturgis' father says there's more than money at stake.
"We're speaking out so that people learn that this can and does kill that kratom will kill," Scott said.
Police say at least three people were injured after a driver drove up on the curb after a dispute in the city's Logan section.
It happened around 3 p.m. Thursday at the Olney Transportation Center.
No word on the extent of the injuries at this time.
A portion of I-78 in Upper Saucon Township is closed after a tractor-trailer overturned, leaving debris on the roadway.
It happened around 3:30 p.m. Thursday between Exit 60A - PA 309 South and Exit 60A - PA 309 South.
Police say the driver of the tractor-trailer somehow crossed from the eastbound lanes into the westbound lanes blocking all lanes of traffic on both sides of I-78.
Police are investigating after an 81-year-old man was shot inside his home in Willingboro, South Jersey.
