Red Sox mourn the passing of Don Lenhardt
Spent nearly 50 years with the club as a player, scout, and coach
The Boston Red Sox mourn the loss of longtime member of the organization Don Lenhardt, who passed away yesterday at age 91. Lenhardt had been living in Chesterfield, MO, and is survived by his wife of 62 years, Isabelle, as well as a daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Primarily a leftfielder, Lenhardt played 74 games over two seasons with the Red Sox in 1952 and again in 1954, his final big league campaign. He hit .287 with eight doubles, 10 home runs, and 41 RBI in 74 total games for Boston.
After his playing days, the Illinois native served as a Red Sox Midwest-area scout for over four decades, retiring in 2002. In that role, he signed such players as Al Nipper and Scott Cooper. From 1970-73, Lenhardt was the Red Sox' first base coach under manager Eddie Kasko.
Lenhardt left college to join the Navy during World War II, delaying a major league career that later began with the St. Louis Browns in 1950. The right-handed batter returned to that team for parts of 1951 and 1953-54, and also played for the Chicago White Sox (1951), Detroit Tigers (1952), and Baltimore Orioles (1954) in a 481-game major league career.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, July 14 at 9:00 a.m. at the Incarnate Word Catholic Church in Chesterfield, MO.

Known for its community-based patient care for 80 years, Menorah Medical Center—part of HCA Midwest Health System—plans to open a new urgent care facility. This center—with the strength of Menorah Medical Center's powerful and advanced resources behind it—will open late February, providing Johnson County residents with an alternative to the ER or when their regular physician is unavailable. Menorah Urgent Care will serve community residents with quality and immediate walk-in medical care for non-threatening illnesses and injuries.
Located in the heart of southern Johnson County just west of 69 Highway and 151st Street, Menorah Urgent Care is just what the doctor ordered for people with busy lifestyles eager for on-demand urgent care. Scheduled to be open seven days a week—including holidays, evenings and weekends—with real-life hours, Menorah Urgent Care will not require an appointment and will accept all major insurance plans.
"Menorah Medical Center is proud to offer Johnson County residents another option in their healthcare," says Chief Executive Officer Steven D. Wilkinson. "Our focus has been to provide excellent patient care with traditional values in an accessible neighborhood setting with a compassionate and caring staff for 80 years. Now we're offering a dedicated state-of-the-art facility where 'convenience' and 'urgent care' converge. We're excited to continue growing in our patients' own backyards with relevant healthcare.'"
Theo Felts, MD, is the medical director of Menorah Urgent Care and says the wide array of healthcare services offered from general illnesses to minor injuries, X-rays to allergies and more was designed to answer a need in the community. "Families and individuals requiring same-day care can trust us to help them feel better," says Dr. Felts. "Menorah Medical Center's tradition of compassionate patient care is our cornerstone. We will deliver timely, affordable, high-quality urgent care."
Menorah Urgent Care will be equipped to handle flu shots, cuts, scrapes, fractures, fevers, coughs and colds, back and neck pain, strains and sprains and even schools and sports physicals. The facility will also provide employment exams, work injury treatment, on-site lab testing and more.

Dr. Dog coming to Starr Hill
Philadelphia rock quintet Dr. Dog has announced that they will be coming to Starr Hill on May 11. Their evolving pop songbook, heavy with Beatles influences, will next be showcased on the album We All Belong, set to be released February 27.
Over the past few years, the band has opened for a slew of impressive names: The Magic Numbers, The Raconteurs, The Black Keys, The Cold War Kids, The Strokes, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. This upcoming spring tour has them buddying up with Bobby Bare Jr., but it looks like they might do the Starr Hill show without him.
Tickets are $12 ($10 in advance), but you probably won't be able to get them until after Starr Hill actually confirms the band's announcement.
1 comment
This is an open letter I sent out to a gazillion bands on Myspace. If you have friends in bands or who are touring the East Coast, please pass along this letter to them. I am happy to dialogue with anyone about my points.
Charlottesville has been known for a while as a somewhat anomalous place to play. A small college town that doesn't have an art school is not going to be a place many adventurous and/or independant bands would usually play. But somehow, we became a stop. Much of this is because of the efforts of a small group of people: Darius Van Arman and Atsushi Miura at Tokyo Rose; Tom Klepak, Tom Hohman and Colin Matthews at the Pudhouse; Mattheus Frankovic and Jason Andrew at the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar; Daniel Shea at the Satellite Ballroom; Vicki Long with the Tyrannosaurus Rocks organization. By the efforts of these people and many others, Charlottesville has become a stop on the underground and independant musical circuit.
We have seen a lot of truly amazing shows here, everything from Lightning Bolt and Mr. Quintron and things far stranger at the Pudhouse to a surprise visit by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings at the Tea House. Much of this was done on the cheap and supported by not much more than love. Artists get paid here not only in money but with a bond of sincere friendship. I personally have met several musicians through the scene here that I am proud to call my friends, not only because of their immense talent but also because they are good people. Of course, there have been some creeping assholes as well; I'm looking in your direction, Don Cab.
It is this fairly universal respect for art over commerce that characterizes both the scene in Charlottesville and nationwide. Popular music as we know it would be quite different if it weren't for ground-breaking places like Fort Thunder, the Dischord House, all the way back to the Iggy Pop's Fun House and beyond. All of these places just wanted to be left alone to do their thing, opting out of competition in favor of quiet, frequently self-satisfied, survival. "What we do is secret," as Darby Crash once sang. And that's fine.
Rarely, there will be places like Tokyo Rose (RIP) and the Satellite Ballroom. It is the latter that interests me at the moment. The Satellite is a larger venue, capable of holding 500 people. In this month alone, bands as diverse and exciting as Flin Flon, Chuck Brown (the father of DC's indigious Go-Go music) and Of Montreal will play or have played there. Next month, the schedule wings wildly from Portastatic to Wolf Eyes. Daniel Shea, booker of the Ballroom, is a man of taste and passion, and he's definitely not in this for the money. Which is the reason I write this. This is a plea for bands to consider where they play, and why they play there, and to honestly consider the ramifications of their choices.
Charlottesville is blessed, as I have said, with many places to play music. The vast majority of them belong to a local man, the manager of the Dave Matthews Band, named Coran Capshaw. My views on this gentleman are conflicted, to say the least. He is a good man at heart, this I feel; he gives a lot of money and effort back to the community of Charlottesville, and not inconsequentially, is an excellent tipper. He is clean and sober, not abusive to the people who work for him, and helped create the jam-band paradigm that, among other things, brought you Sonic Youth at Bonnaroo.
Coran Capshaw is the owner of two major venues, the Charlottesville Pavillion and Starr Hill. I am only tangentially interested in the Pavillion; it is a large outdoor venue that hosts very large concerts, and as such, is for the most part outside of the scop of anyone who might read this, although if you ARE a more prominent musician, I would hope that you would take some of the points I make to heart.
Starr Hill has historically been a place where jam-bands, more classically-oriented rock and roll and country bands have played. As befits Mr. Capshaw's (prodigious) musical history, he has a stable of bands that play there regularly, and the demographic of people that go to shows there is consistently older, more affluent, more mainstream. None of those are meant in the perjorative sense. Love of a Led Zeppelin tribute band is just as valid as love of the newest noise band to come down the pike, the sneering of hipsters notwithstanding.
Recently, however, Starr Hill has started trying to make inroads into the demographic that prefers the more independantly-minded bands that have played, in the past, at Satellite Ballroom. While I can't find fauly with that on the face of it, one has to wonder: why? The shows at the Ballroom tend to be smaller affairs, less popular bands. Certainly, they don't pull down the money that shows at Starr Hill do. Rumors have sprung up, which as rumors are may be true and may be not. There have been allegations of poaching of bands under contract at the Ballroom, that the staff under Coran Capshaw's captainship have found out who is playing at teh Ballroom and contacted those bands' management, offering more money to play their venue. Of interest to bands with booking agents is that frequently, rumor states that the booking agent is contacted, with strong-arm tactics inferring that unless one band plays Starr Hill, other bands on the booker's roster will be shut out of playing Charlottesville. These are rumors, but I have heard them from musicians and people who are placed to speak knowledgably.
LET IT BE SAID UNEQUIVOCABLY THAT THESE RUMORS ... AND THEY ARE RUMORS... WERE NOT PASSED ON TO ME BY ANYONE WORKING AT THE SATELLITE BALLROOM. They maintain an admirably high moral stance in all of this. If I personally booked the Ballroom, and found that these rumors were true, I would be moved to irrational acts. The staff at the Ballroom, despite any prodding I may have seen on the subject, remains mum. I salute them for this.
Now, a cliche is a cliche because it's frequently the way the world works, so here's one: I believe that where there's smoke, there's fire. So, touring bands, ask yourself where you wish to play? Look at both venues, and ask around. Surely you know someone in the area, or have colleagues that have played here. Ask them: how were you received? How were you treated? Did you feel pressure to play one place or another? How was the crowd? Do you feel that you made a friend at the venue, with someone in the crowd? Did it seem like they were there just to be there, or were they there because they wanted to hear your music?
Charlottesville has room for two excellent radio stations: WTJU and WNRN. WTJU is a college radio station, vehemently free-form, and their rock programming has both adventurous shows where you can hear Current 93 as well as current J-Pop. WNRN is a more mainstream alternative station, and very popular with the college students. It also hosts the of the better current rap and hip-hop shows I have heard outside of a major metropolis. Both do well, and WNRN has in fact expanded into the Richmond and Lynchburg markets. WTJU's success is less financial than aesthetic; alumni of the station include members of Pavement, the Happy Flowers, David Berman and writers such as Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield and the Austin Statesman's Joe Gross. The point is that there is room for both. WNRN, although it could adopt an adversarial position towards WTJU, has chosen not to do so, wisely seeing that they don't need WTJU's fans; they are doing perfectly well with their own. WTJU, as far as I can tell, feels the same way. You'll never hear Nickelback on WTJU, and you won't be hearing the Dead C on WNRN, and this is as it should be.
It seems to me that the management of Starr Hill is taking an adversarial position towards Satellite Ballroom, figuring that there isn't room enough for the two of them. Economically, this doesn't make sense. Starr Hill is the tip of a far larger, vertically integrated musical empire; Satellite Ballroom is far smaller, far more modest. Aesthetically, it looms just as large in Charlottesville, but aesthetics, as any number of starving artists will tell you over warm PBRs, don't pay the bills. Starr Hill seems to want a monopoly on music in Charlottesville. Satellite just wants to make enough money to cover guarantees (which, it should be said, all reports confirm that they in fact do).
Please forgive me for rambling, but I leave you with one final question: if, by playing at a venue, you could help the musical culture of a town, would you do so? I argue that ignoring any pressure you may be feeling to play a venue using strong-arm tactics and playing where you want to play will not only help you rest easier at night, but it will come back to you in the form of friendship and the perpetuation of a diverse musical dialogue in the little town that Thomas Jefferson continues to stalk to this day.

Love our area at holiday time (ok, all year long!). Don't forget Detroit counts as local too! The 40th annual Noel Night will be 5-9:30 p.m. Saturday. More than 200 performances will be featured along with horse-drawn carriage rides, carolers, music, dance, children's activities, arts and crafts, shopping, holiday treats, visits with Santa and more. All of the events are FREE!!!
Thu, Nov 29, 2012 : 5:03 p.m.
We should do as much of our necesary shopping locally. By supporting the local economy, you in turn are supported. Online sales return nothing to our community. This is always a wonderful weekend in Town, let's keep it alive.

January 06
Two famous Smiths share this birthday.
|3 – 12
|Calendar Activity Type
|Historical Figure & Event
Both these famous men were known for their exploration of different parts of North America. John Smith, famous for his presidency of Jamestown and interactions with the Algonquin, explored and mapped the Chesapeake Bay. Jedediah Smith, an explorer in the west, used the "South Pass" through the Rocky Mountains to lead some of the first white settlers to new lands. Born over 200 years apart, both shared a love of exploration, experience with Native American relations, and a common last name.
Have students learn more about these two famous Smiths by visiting these brief biography pages: Jedediah Smith and Captain John Smith. Have students look for comparisons between the two men, and ask what their experiences have in common related to U.S. history. Then draw their attention to the shared last name. Explain to students that each man has something in common with nearly three million people in the United States-the last name. Smith, which means "a worker at the smith-a metal-worker, blacksmith or farrier," is the most common English surname. According to census data, 1% of the U.S. population-nearly 3 million people-have the last name Smith.
Have your students investigate the meaning of their last names using this Dictionary of Surname Origins. Students can also determine their last names' rank among the most common names and surnames, by searching data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
As an extension, have students survey other classrooms to see how the top 10 surnames in your school compare with the national statistics.
- Dictionary of Surname Origins
This resource offers a searchable database of the meanings and origins of last names. General information about surname derivations is also included. Note that there are links to a fee site, so students should use this database with supervision.
- Captain John Smith
The Colonial Williamsburg site offers this brief biography of Captain John Smith, including excerpts from his personal journal.
- Jedediah Strong Smith
This biography, from the Jedediah Smith Society, includes information on Smith's travels and their significance in American history.
Grades 2 – 5 | Lesson Plan | Standard Lesson
In this lesson, students practice a way to communicate without words by using a glyph. They create a name card using information about themselves. Students also interpret glyphs made by others.
Grades K – 2 | Lesson Plan | Recurring Lesson
Student of the Day: Create Sound/Letter Understanding With Names
Name games make learning letters fun and interactive in this lesson where students get to know more about each other as they spell out their classmates' names.
Grades 6 – 8 | Lesson Plan | Standard Lesson
Investigating Names to Explore Personal History and Cultural Traditions
Students investigate the meanings and origins of their names in order to establish their own personal histories and to explore the cultural significance of naming traditions.
Grades 6 – 8 | Lesson Plan | Standard Lesson
Making Personal and Cultural Connections Using A Girl Named Disaster
Struggling to survive is one of the many themes explored in A Girl Named Disaster. As students read, they look for connections between themselves and the main character, Nhamo.

Noisebridge is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."
- Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to give a brief primer on consensus process: We agree and so should you! Only paid-up members can block consensus.

- New Free School at 3265 17th Street, teaching Franch 4-6. Saturdays 12-4 bike workshop, so they're going to take the overflow.
- Mozilla is kicking off a summer of coding to teach people how to develop for the web. We're kicking it off in a couple of weekends time. 24th June, starting at 3pm -- we're having a party RIGHT HERE. Meet people, find projects. Any questions ask Tom.

Membership Binder[edit]
- Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe membership, and the application process.
Being a member of Noisebridge is not like being a member of a gym or your local chess club. Anyone can come to Noisebridge to hack and learn: you don't need to be a member for that. At Noisebridge, membership is something different: it means taking responsibility and committing to help to maintain, improve, and govern Noisebridge. As a member of Noisebridge, you don't just come here to hack and learn, you actively work to improve what you see around you, help to deal with problems, and make this community better than it is today.
- Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Write a check on every open application.
- Anyone eligible to join this week should
- introduce themselves,
- answer any questions members may have for them, then
- leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime, or cookies) for the rest of the group.
- The rest of the meeting should reach consensus on whether they may join.
- Remember to applaud new members when they return.
Financial Report[edit]
- Funds in bank: $18125.77 -- lower than we would like.
- NoiseTor $2165.20
Consensus items[edit]
You may wish to invite a knowledgeable volunteer to repeat a brief primer on the consensus process.
Proposals from last week[edit]
(Add any items which pass or are blocked to the Consensus Items History page.)
Proposals for next week[edit]
(Add any new items for consensus to the Current Consensus Items page.)
- Proposal: ban Rob 2.0 because he has not attempted mediation, and keeps coming to Noisebridge even though he's not welcome here.
Discussion Items[edit]
- Rob 2.0
Cobalt says that Rob 2.0 only deals with people on IRC. Jake says Rob said that Mitch said he could come to the space. We clarify that Mitch has not said anything of the sort to Rob.
Cobalt says: we did do mediation, me and Kelly, I felt that he got an idea of what was going on. I don't know if he necessarily was comfortable going forward. I didn't have time. From Rob's point of view, he's not a sketchy dude. I consider myself a social engineer and a creepy dude. I've dealt with Rob 2.0. In my personal opinion, we've had worse issues.
Tom says: So, about six months ago, Noisebridge reached consensus that Rob 2.0 was not welcome in the space pending mediation. Since that time, he has been unable to conclude any effective mediation. Kelly has not made attempts at mediation, and despite recently considering her being a non-neutral moderator, has not made attempts to find a new moderator. Despite being unwelcome at Noisebridge, he's repeatedly turned up. That combination of defying the consensus and failing to make meaningful attempts to fix the problems.
Monad proposes that it not be permanent, but based on him doing something to remediate himself.
Danny points out we've put in a "until further notice" in the last banning to cover this eventuality. He'll look at the historical record to find out what the langage was.
Kelly says that she had a few phone calls, and he was paranoid and uncooperative. Any time she tried to discuss his actual behavior. His favourite topic was Rubin stealing his rack. We explained that was within the parameters of Noisebridge.
Miloh says a ban doesn't change his actual behaviour.
Tom thinks a ban needs to be a stronger statement to help fix the behaviour.
Will says he can corroborate what Kelly says: he is very averse to talking about his own behaviour.
Jake said that Rob turned up 3.30am, and I told Rob he had to go, and he tried to talk his way out of it. I asked him are you refusing to leave. And he left. He was saying "What's your problem with you? Who are you to represent the whole hackerspace". It will make it very clear to him.
Kelly stated that Rob responded with rob us, hack "our shit", get the police involved. Kelly does not want to be mediator.
- Criminousness. Danny would like to point out that you shouldn't conduct criminal activities on Noisebridge, and to do so there is a general consensus that it befits an insta-banning.
- Miloh has been receiving donations on behalf of Noisebridge, that would be then sold for Noisebridge funds. Kelly is uncomfortable with this. The treasurer hasn't verified it. Kelly is worried about obligations. If it comes in with cash, it's very simple. If it comes in with kind, disposing is not an easy. Kelly's principle concern is that she's not competent.
- Miloh offers to pay for a CPA. Danny suggests working with Internet Archive.
End of Meeting[edit]
- PGP Key Signing could happen now, check the list to see who wants in on the action.
- Return the membership binder to it's rightful location.
- Clean and tidy the meeting notes, then save them to the wiki.
- Send a summary of the meeting notes to the discussion list.
- Enjoy the company of your fellow hacker or robot.
- Discuss any items for which there was not time during the meeting.

Yup, I use alix too. Have you anything else plugged in to the usb bus at the same time?
Just spitballing....perhaps a cmd for connected devices without it plugged in and one after it is plugged in? Not sure what it would be, one would think that it would be an sda1 being the only hdd.
Have you looked through the previous thread from 0.9.2a thread?

I have another device usb connected, the hiface one, but she is recognized without any problem. Maybe the problem is that i partitioned the cf card? It was 8 gb, i create one partition for mpdpup (4 gb) and one partition empty.

Been a while since I went through the wizard, does the local storage come up before or after the output? Perhaps unplug both and plug in whichever comes up first? Then leave it and plug the second in?
I dont know if the partition is an issue, I use an 8gb card straight up.

Subject description: on alix with usb
Hi Kocozze, I work also with an Alix board for quitte some time with great succes, i iuse a nasdrive. Do you have a nas drive? I presume not because you are trying usb storage connecting the mpd pup. One of these days i will try to connect an external drive on my alix board and report you if i'm succesful or not. Maybe this will help!!

Post subject: mpdpup kocozze
Hi Kocozze, This morning i've tried the cf-card and usb music storage without any problem on my alix board, operation was headless from another pc. Here's what i did: With the help of unetbootin and mpdpup 0.9.3 iso i prepared the cf-card, mind you not partioned!!
Then with the help of putty on another pc, i logged in at tunes.local with root and woofwoof. In the wizzard i could chose local storage, alltough i had only one usb drive connected, there were two options to choose from. After choosing "jukebox copy" on which my music is, i completed the wizzard. Just before the end of the wizzard, i saw two remarks coming along...... "cannot move library" and "no input files" so i thought this is not going well. But to my surprise, after a long wait (be patient it can take a quit long time) i started gmpc program on my pc and there was the music from the usb drive.
So it is possible, also for a Linux dummie like me
Now i'm only hoping you will succeed to! MPDpup is for me the best audiophile solution there is, i have tried Linn gear (sneaky), logitech touch, xxhigh end, but every time i had some trouble's be it network or control problems. MPDpup with mpad or mpod control is simply the best. Good luck with your'e efforts.

Hi Kocozze, I guess when the cf-card is prepared with unetbootin he should be ok.. Trying another one can't harm! Remember....try it with only one partition. My hard drive is 2 tb en ntfs formatted.

Sad to hear Kocozze. I think cpu intel core duo 64 should work with mpdpup but i'm no expert. Hopefully someone else will react!?

Hi Idolse.
I am usually using MPD on Debian minimal. In the beginning I used a lot of time to toy around with all the usual tweaks, and also some of the more extreme ones. Writing scripts, tweaking the OS to my liking, it took quite a while to get the basics right. Nowadays, I usually spend time listening to music, but now and then I might try a new setting. I always had a separate a dirty linux install to do the experiments and compile, and to keep the clean install as light weight as possible.
Could you share some of the settings that got you great sound on Debian?
Perhaps we could duplicate on the mpdpup platform.

Nothing beyond the extraordinary, followed the guide from http://www.symphonic-net.com/kubotayo/articles/ + some added things like thread/cpu affinity and also stripped the kernel of almost ALL unneccesary drivers or features, and also compiled a realtime kernel. I use USB nrpacks=1 which just sounds better, but I see others use other values. (might be dependent on a powerful CPU and/or a RT kernel. I use Hpet instead of TSC. I use higher buffers than usual.
Also compiled MPD with the realtime patch (although not strictly neccesary since you can set the priorities and affinity of the MPD threads after starting MPD).
It only support USB DACS, the advantage is that the USB soundcard is automatically HW:0,0 so it is plug and plug whatever USB soundcard you plug in. Also patched the kernel with overlayfs to support booting from a USB stick while also copying everything to ram. (also supporting persistence so you dont have to rescan the library on every reboot) Also added support for Mytek and M2tech in the kernel. I dont have a M2tech/Mytek card, but it should work.
I disabled powerboost, and hyperthreading. Lastly using a 64bit kernel also sounds better than the 32bit. I believe it is the sum of all parts that makes the difference.
In the music folders I have subfolders named USB and NAS. USB obviously points to automounted usb mounts. I disabled automounting the Linux file systems from USB sticks since "nobody" uses those anyways. But exfat, fat, hfs(+), ntfs are all mounted automatically, and MPD automatically scans both NAS and external storage, unlike MPDpup which makes you choose.

Hi all,
it appears that there are now newer versions of MPD around (0.18.5) than the one used in the mpdpup version (0.17).
- Are these significantly better?
- Is it possible to upgrade/change without much hacking?
... is there a new mpdpup version around the corner ...

New mpdpup around the corner? I doubt it.... This is a dead pup.
Easy to hack and install newer version? No
Does the newer version sound better? Yes
This was a great idea, which is now frozen in time. Its about 80% as good as mpd gets in terms of sq.

Thanks for visiting my campaign website. I'm proud to be the Jackson County Prosecutor. When the former prosecutor was appointed to serve as a Judge, County Executive Michael Sanders set up a public vetting process to find the best candidate for this important post. I was honored when he chose me.
At the time of my appointment, I'd been serving as a Missouri legislator. It was an honor and privilege to serve the citizens of the 39th District. Few positions in life offer the opportunity for such direct participation in the public policy-making process like the role of an elected State Representative. The Jackson County Prosecutor's office has been a huge part of my life. I'm grateful to former Prosecutor Claire McCaskill for hiring me as an intern nearly fifteen years ago. She taught me how to be a great prosecutor and I continued my service through the next three elected prosecutors before heading to the Missouri Legislature. And now, as Jackson County Prosecutor, I pledge to continue to serve you by passionately and fairly seeking justice in our community.
I'm a tenacious litigator and a compassionate advocate for the victims of crime. I've worked tirelessly to convict some of our most violent and dangerous criminals and have developed a reputation as an ethical, fair, persistent, and no-nonsense champion for the families I've represented. I'm also a consensus-builder and able to find common ground with people of differing opinions.
As your Prosecutor I'm committed to doing everything in my power to strengthen our community. And I'm seeking new ideas on how to communicate with you as your Prosecutor. Please feel free to share your input and ideas on how I can best serve the entire Jackson County community. Feel free to share your ideas on our Facebook page.
I'm excited to be seeking re-election so that I can continue to serve Jackson County as your prosecutor. I hope you'll join me in this effort and volunteer on our campaign. Thanks again for visiting and stay on the look out for updates and upcoming events.
Thank you,

John Carroll quarterback Jarrod Kilburn finished his dispatches from Ireland earlier this week. Here's the last word after the Blue Streaks' 40-3 rout of St. Norbert:
The past two days have been so much fun, even more so because we won! The celebration started Friday night and carried well into Saturday morning at the GIFT 2012 tailgate at 9:30 a.m. It was cool to have all the teams in the tournament together in one place at the same time and a member from each was honored by the GIFT 2012 committee and Notre Dame Alum Mike McCoy. Our representative was fifth-year senior captain Bob Schmitz – completely deserving of the award and very happy for him!
After the tailgate ended, we boarded the buses for Aviva Stadium to see the Emerald Isle Classic between Notre Dame and Navy at 2 p.m. Aviva was incredible – by far the most aesthetically pleasing stadium I've ever seen. The curvature of the stadium made it look so futuristic, and I don't think there's a bad seat in there. One of the end zones has a glass backing so that you can see suburban Dublin behind it. Really cool stuff – unlike any stadium in the U.S. I probably took twenty-five pictures of just the stadium because I loved it so much.
While the game was a blowout (50-10, Notre Dame), our seats made up for it – upper level, front row, 25-yard line. If I'm watching a game, I love being up high so that I can see everything develop pre-snap, so I was definitely happy.
Following the game, we walked about a half mile to Shelbourne Park at the Greyhound Race Track. I guess in Ireland instead of betting on horse races, they bet on dog races. Some of those dogs were so fast and just flew around the track. I found myself wondering how my dog Vader, who gallops around my yard like a horse, would do in a race here. The whole thing was interesting, but definitely a little bizarre. At around 8, we bused back to our hotels for some Dominos, a team meeting, and an early bed since our day Sunday would start early and be full of action.
Sunday started with a 9:30 a.m. mass at the Newman University Church with the team, our administration, alums, and parents. At 10:30, we all walked to brunch at the nearby National Concert Hall. Some of the alums there donated a substantial amount of money to fund our trip so it was great to be able to meet them and thank them for everything that they did for us. After brunch, we had a free hour so we all split up and walked around downtown Dublin to do some shopping for our families. It was pretty much the first time we were able to go off our own the whole trip, which was definitely nice.
At 1, we bused to Croke Park for the GAA Football Semi Finals between Maigh Eo and Ath Cliath, or Dublin. Gaelic football is like soccer on steroids, with some football elements sprinkled in. You can advance the ball by kicking it to teammates, but you can also scoop it with your hands and carry it like in football. Scoring is way different than anything I'd seen before – its three points if you kick or throw it in to a smaller soccer net and one point if you kick it through smaller uprights. Each half was thirty-five minutes with additional time added to the end of each for any injuries that took away from the flow of the game. From what we gathered in the pubs pre-game, Maigh Eo were heavy favorites since they "throttled" Dublin earlier in the season in league play, but from all indications it was going to be a pretty good game. The Irish couldn't believe we had tickets as they were pretty hard to come by due to the scale of the game.
After some exploring of the surrounding areas and purchasing the colors of The Boys in Blue (Dublin), we finally found our way to our seats. The atmosphere was unlike anything I'd ever seen in my entire life. 81,500-plus, mostly in baby blue and navy, were jammed into their seats and losing their minds. Rooting for a team there isn't like it is here – there are no fair-weather fans in this sport. If you're from Maigh Eo, you bleed red and green and if you're from Dublin, you bleed baby blue and navy. The only way I can put the atmosphere in a way for anyone to understand without being there is like if Michigan and Ohio State played in the national championship game in Chicago – two teams that can't stand each other in a somewhat neutral site. At half the game was a blowout with Maigh Eo winning by seven, but in the second half Dublin came out flying and went on a roll before losing by two in stoppage time. It was unbelievable to be in the stands with the fans that live and die with their teams and feel their emotion. I certainly won't forget it anytime soon and it may actually end up tainting my experiences at any other pro sporting event, since it won't come close to matching that passion and emotion I felt here.
Continuing the trend of the day, after the game we were dropped off in front of Trinity College in downtown Dublin and given two hours to do whatever we wanted for dinner. This was fun, but a little exhausting toward the end after the excitement and festivities surrounding the game. When we returned to City West, we had a brief team meeting to go over the next day's travel itinerary and then were set free for the night to pack. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I reluctantly packed — I had no desire to get back to the real world of tests and papers. The rest of the night was spent hanging out in various hotel rooms with the other guys on the team and laying low before our long day of travel the next day back to Cleveland.
As the trip finally concluded and we arrived home safely, there are so many people that need to be thanked. Obviously, the school and alums need to be thanked for allowing us to go on the trip by backing us financially. Every euro I spent was my own as anyone picked for the dress list had flights, meals, and hotels paid for, and for that I am truly thankful. The coaches need to be thanked for everything they did getting us prepared to play the game and for making sure that we were safe and accounted for everywhere we went. The entire country of Ireland and all of Irish need to be thanked for their hospitality and kindness. Everyone we met, from our tour guide Gerry to our bus driver Tony, to those at Trinity and Dublin College, bent over backwards to make sure that we were comfortable and informed. I don't think we would have got quite as warm of a welcome had we played anyone else.
However, I think the biggest "thank you" of all should go to three people – Father Niehoff, Jane Evans, and Coach [Regis] Scafe. Father Niehoff not only allowed us to miss the first week of classes to travel an entire ocean away to play a football game, but he went with us and supported us the entire way. Not too many presidents at this level would do that. Jane Evans and Coach Scafe worked harder than most people involved in this trip in terms of maximizing our experiences on and off the field there and doing everything in their power to field a team that deserved to represent John Carroll on the world stage. These three cannot be thanked enough for their outstanding efforts.
While coming back to Carroll and getting back to class was somewhat of a letdown, there are some bright spots – nine of them actually, starting next week under the lights at Don Shula Stadium against cross-town rival Baldwin Wallace. Onward on!

Visions: Tim Hetherington's Theater of War
Visions: Images of Libya from a Fallen Photographer
Last week, an upcoming gallery show of work by the late photographer Tim Hetherington was announced, the inaugural exhibition of The Bronx Documentary Center that was founded earlier this year. The exhibition, titled Visions, is a collection of never-before-seen photos by Hetherington, a British-American photographer who lived in Brooklyn. He was a longtime Vanity Fair contributor who died in April while covering the conflict in Libya, along with fellow conflict photographer and Brooklyn resident Chris Hondros.
It is amazingly ironic that the announcement of the exhibition of Tim Hetherington's work coincided precisely with published reports that Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the erratic, provocative dictator who ruled Libya for 42 years, had finally met a violent and vengeful death in the hands of the Libyan forces that drove him from power.
Hetherington was most famous for his Academy Award-nominated 2010 documentary Restrepo, which he filmed with Sebastian Junger in 2007. The film follows the Army platoon assigned to what was then the most dangerous posting in Afghanistan, The Korengal Valley, to clear it of insurgents and gain the trust of the local populace. In the course of the film, the platoon builds a new outpost they name after Juan Sebastian Restrepo, a comrade who was killed during the early days of the 15-month assignment.
On April 20, Hetherington was trailing rebels in the besieged coastal city of Misurata in Libya, when he and Hondros were killed in an explosion from a rocket-propelled grenade. He left behind 40 rolls of undeveloped 220mm film. The negatives revealed a fascinating mix of what Tim called "the theater of war," men strutting with their guns, as well as landscapes, graffiti, and men firing guns and rocket-propelled grenades in battle. And a vase of plastic flowers in a bullet-marked room. Seventeen of the prints will be on display in the Bronx Documentary Center show as 36- by 30-inch prints hanging from the ceiling on two large wood panels, beginning October 22nd.

Long Story Bit by Bit: Liberia Retold
Award-Winning Photographer and Film Director Tim Hetherington Killed in Libya
The Death of Award-Winning Photographer Tim Hetherington
Oscar-nominated documentary-maker Tim Hetherington, co-creator of the Sundance-winning documentary Restrepo, was killed in the besieged city of Misurata covering fighting between Muammar Gaddafi's forces and the opposition. A British citizen who lived in New York, Hetherington had covered conflicts with sensitivity in Liberia, Afghanistan, Darfur and, in recent weeks, Libya. Hetherington was in Libya to continue his multimedia project highlighting humanitarian issues during times of war and conflict.
Photo-journalist Chris Hondros, a US Pulitzer finalist who worked for Getty Images, was also killed. Hetherington and Hondros were among eight to 10 journalists reporting from Tripoli Street in Misrata. When shooting broke out, they took shelter against a wall, which was hit by fire. Hetherington died soon after arriving at hospital. Hetherington wrote in his last post on Twitter on Tuesday: "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Gaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."
Restrepo won the 2010 Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at Sundance, and was a 2011 Oscar Nominee for Best Documentary, Features. The movie is a stunning chronicle of one U.S. platoon, which was posted in one of the most dangerous valleys in Afghanistan. The film was made as part of Hetherington's ongoing mission to bring the hardships of war into the public eye.
Diary is one of Hetherington's most recent works, a documentary short film that presents a dreamlike composition of insightful juxtapositions about his war experiences, composed of carefully conceived montages and almost inchoate sounds. It is similar in spirit to his impressionistic documentary short Sleeping Soldiers of 2009.

The Music, Movies and Photos applications operate just like their iPhone equivalents - there, Movies and Music are combined into a single app, iPod. The default Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums and More tabs can be rearranged and changed - maybe you'd rather have Podcasts listed than Playlists, for example.
From album art...
Rotating the Touch through 90° pops up the iTunes-derived Cover Flow, and you can flick through the album covers on display quickly - the animation is smooth and lag-free. Tapping an album rotates the cover to reveal a track listing - click on the one you want to start playing it, or tap elsewhere on the screen to go back to Cover Flow. Rotating the Touch back presents the cover of the album you've selected with easily reachable play/pause, track skip and volume controls. A button at the top right flips the cover round to reveal the track listing - as this happens the track list button itself rotates into a tiny album art icon.
Tap anywhere else on the album cover and a bar appears showing you how long the current track's been playing and how long there is to go, along with a progress bar that you can shuttle along by dragging a blue blob - just like adjusting the volume.
...to Cover Flow, at the flick of a wrist
The Video app works broadly the same way, just with fewer list options and video playback fixed in landscape mode no matter how you hold the player. This makes sense, because you want to maximise the viewing area. Tapping the screen brings up the playback controls, and you can double-tap to switch between fitting the video to the screen's horizontal dimensions - so you get black bars above and below the picture - and its height, so the picture fills the screen, but you may lose a bit off either end. Videos encoded in a 4:3 ratio are not stretched to fit, but appear with black bars to the sides.
Full control video
Some early users in the US complained about the quality of the Touch's display, in particular the way darker areas of the picture appeared brighter than they should have. A duff batch of screens or an endemic fault? It's hard to say, but we found the display eminently watchable and we didn't experience any problems with it, whether we were watching videos we'd sync'd over with iTunes or content accessed through the YouTube app.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol already have overwhelmingly rejected the medical device tax that House Republicans insist on repealing as a condition for keeping the government open. It's just that those earlier votes didn't count.
Despite its unpopularity, both the White House and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., vowed this week they would not let Republicans make the tax a bargaining chip in averting a government shutdown on Tuesday. Republicans nonetheless put that chip on the table Saturday, along with a new demand to delay for a year making people buy medical insurance under President Barack Obama's health care law. The requirement goes into effect Jan. 1.
Reid, through a spokesman, called the idea of repealing the medical device tax as part of an anti-shutdown bill "stupid." ''The Senate will reject any (funding bill) that includes a repeal of the medical device tax," said Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson.
"Absolutely not," White House spokesman Jay Carney answered when asked if President Barack Obama would support repealing the tax.
The 2.3 percent tax, which took effect in January, is aimed at U.S. sales of medical devices used chiefly by doctors and hospitals, such as pacemakers and CT scan machines. Consumer items are exempted, including eyeglasses, contact lenses and hearing aids.
The tax was adopted as part of and intended to help pay for Obama's Affordable Care Act. Repealing it would cost the government an estimated $29 billion over the coming decade.
U.S. medical device companies employ about 400,000 people and boast sales of $130 billion annually. AdvaMed, the industry's largest trade group, says the tax is hurting job creation, reducing investment in medical innovation and increasing health care costs.
"The U.S. leads the world in medical technology, but the device tax threatens that leadership because it will put an additional burden on medical device innovators already struggling under the weight of America's uncompetitive tax system," the group says on its website. "The tax will be levied on medical device sales in the U.S. regardless of whether the company is making a profit."
Democrats counter that the new health care law will increase revenue for the industry by expanding health coverage to millions more people, helping offset the impact of the tax.
Democrats and Republicans in both the House and Senate have supported repealing the tax. Last year, 37 House Democrats voted with all 233 Republicans to repeal the tax. The bill passed the House, 270-146, but died in the Senate.
Many of the Democrats who favored the bill came from states like Minnesota, New York and California, which have a heavy presence of medical equipment makers.
In March, the Democratic-led Senate voted 79-20 to repeal the tax, but that measure was part of a nonbinding budget resolution. The vote, however, showed bipartisan support among senators for repealing the tax.
"It's got such strong support in both the House and Senate," said Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, a senior member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. "It's a tax that makes no sense. In the weakest economic recovery since World War II, the president needs to be thinking about how you keep American jobs, not either kill them or send them overseas."

Air Huarache Origins
Designed by Tinker Hatfield and released in 1991, the Nike Air Huarache shook up the running world. The idea behind the design was a bold one: to combine the functionality of South American sandals with the fit of neoprene waterski boots. The risk paid off. The Air Huarache was such a hit that it soon found its way to basketball courts and then the streets, where it earned its status as an icon.

Government agencies looking to move mission critical systems to consolidated data centers or secure cloud environments now have another option. Forward! by Unisys, a fabric-based computing platform that runs on Intel-based servers is now available, Unisys officials report.
Fabric computing refers to a high-performance computing system with loosely coupled storage, networking and parallel processing functions linked by high-bandwidth connections. The Forward! platform uses Unisys' advanced secure partitioning (s‑Par) software technology to create a secure container of dedicated resources for each application workload. Secure partitions can be connected through in-memory connections on a single server and through high-speed secure InfiniBand connections across multiple servers.
Forward! provides the functionality of mature legacy systems like Unix and mainframe environments on an Intel Xeon platform. The Forward! fabric is also integrated with the Unisys Stealth solution, a software-based security system that cloaks communication end points, applications and servers, making them invisible to unauthorized users inside and outside the enterprise. Access is based on identity through Stealth secure communities of interest so that security moves with the user and not with the device, Unisys officials said. Data is also protected while in motion by encrypting and parsing the data.
Forward! by Unisys is ideal for running secure cloud and big data workloads, boosting the performance of enterprise resource planning applications such as SAP, addressing server sprawl by consolidating data center resources and migrating from legacy systems that use the Unix operating environment, company officials said.
To help organizations realize the value of the Forward! platform, Unisys is offering extensive consulting services, including data center transformation planning, design and implementation, as well as services for Unix-to-Linux applications migration, ERP applications and platform migration and data center consolidation.

About MALS
The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) is a flexible, interdisciplinary graduate program that offers students from a variety of backgrounds the opportunity to study across the boundaries of academic disciplines in order to create knowledge from multiple perspectives. Firmly grounded in the values of liberal education, it allows students to design an individualized program of study that enables them to develop complex, nuanced understanding of human society and culture.
Graduate liberal studies programs provide an alternative to the specialized focus of many graduate degrees. While education for careers is useful, it is not in itself sufficient to satisfy the student's intellectual interests. Graduate liberal studies programs seek to develop and encourage exploration of values, breadth of inquiry, and intellectual versatility and resiliency, as well the ability to cope with an increasingly complex world.
MALS strives to ensure that graduating students are able to:
Recognize complexity by approaching an object of study from multiple perspectives
Demonstrate proficiency in related fields and disciplines that enables deep understanding of the object of study
Articulate the systemic interrelationship of multiple factors that influence problems and phenomena of human society
Employ critical thinking and analysis in approaching those problems and phenomena
Integrate alternative and opposing viewpoints into a broad understanding that enables the formulation of comprehensive solutions.
Who pursues MALS?
The MALS program at ETSU serves a variety of students from many different backgrounds.
Like many graduate liberal studies programs, MALS at ETSU is designed to accommodate
adult students who have existing full-time careers that require them to attend classes
at night, as well as those who are returning to the academic world after a number
of years away and are seeking to pursue personal intellectual interests. However,
there are also many traditional graduate students who desire to pursue a liberal studies
degree in preparation for careers or further graduate study who completed their bachelor's
degrees shortly before beginning the program. Most MALS students come from East Tennessee
and the bordering counties in North Carolina and Virginia, although others do come
to the region specifically to attend ETSU. The MALS student body also includes international
students from countries such as Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, England, and Russia. MALS
students may attend either full-time or part-time; the program is designed so that
all requirements can be met within the six-year matriculation limit designated by
the ETSU School of Graduate Studies.
