The Garrard saga continues, as I have now extended Mason's history even further. I discovered that Daniel Garrard was the father of the slaveowner William Garrard, who I discussed in the previous post. In Daniel's will, written March 1812 in Bourbon County, KY (and images lovingly posted on Familysearch.org), he included the following bequest:
My 4th great-grandfather Mason was willed to first Daniel's wife then to his son William. Finding this record made me sadder than usual. I think it was the realization that Mason served 3 generations (so far) of this family—first through Daniel and then to his son and grandson. I don't know the name of Mason's mother and father, but perhaps they were enslaved by this family as well. Daniel's inventory is typical of one of the biggest brick walls we hit while researching slaves; there are no family groupings:
We can only hint at approximate ages according to value. At $500 and the highest value, Cyrus and Mason are probably teenagers or in their early 20s. Jane at $400 and the highest valuation for the women, is probably in prime childbearing years. I want to believe that Jane perhaps is the mother of Cyrus and Mason, and that at least in going to Daniel's son William there was some attempt to keep her with some of her children. But I have no evidence for that other than heartfelt desire. I see these wills and the breaking up of enslaved families becomes real; so tangible. I think deeply about these people's lives. I look at the list of names continually, hoping to see an inkling of connection. It does appear that Daniel's children are left land where their father Daniel lived, so hopefully the slaves were all at least nearby and able to see one another.
I also discovered that this was a famous family, as Daniel's brother James was the 2nd Governor of Kentucky from 1796-1804. He was involved in some of the early political conventions to create the state of Kentucky and interestingly enough, was anti-slavery. He tried unsuccessfully to get gradual emancipation written into Kentucky's constitution. This family's prominence helps me in that the Garrards are a very well documented family.
Because of that, I easily found Daniel Garrard's father, Col. William Garrard of Stafford County, VA (yes, maybe not all, but many roads do lead to Virginia). He served in the Revolutionary War, and left a will written 7 September 1787. In it he bequeathed 24 slaves to his children and grandchildren. Of particular interest is his bequest to his son Robert:
"the following negroes Doll, Troy and Mason with their increase."
Now, the 26 year time span means this is not my Mason, but I wonder if it was his father? Mason is not a common name. I'll now include that Stafford County location in my crosshairs for further examination. I would love to discover Garrard family bibles or papers that further describe the slaves relationships, but I know that's probably fantasy land talk. I'm happy to have gotten back this far, although seeing bits and pieces of the reality of enslaved life continues to be a permanent thorn in my soul.

At the beginning of November, the Athletic Department announced that it would be making changes in their programs. These changes consist of the addition of cross-country and the removal of gymnastics.
According to Lori Frey, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, this change of programs was brought about by a review of programs - an annual occurrence in the Athletics Department. "Every year we go through a review process ...it's a comprehensive, kind of intellectual review," said Frey.
The review process examines a number of different things, including number of athletes, costs associated with sport, and so on. After the last review process, it was given to the Board of Trustees to decide if the winter sport of gymnastics would be dropped. The Board voted "yes" on the measure. "In gymnastics case, unfortunately numbers have been low for the past ten years," said Frey.
Frey had a meeting with the team and coach to inform them that this would be their last season competing. Currently, the team has three members. While a team requires five gymnasts to compete to be able to count as an official team, the gymnasts will be able to go to meets and compete as individuals.
Some were upset by how little time they had to prepare. "I wish they would have let us have time to fight back," said Jenny Miller '15, a second -year member of the team. A petition has been started online, asking for 1000 signatures to a petition to be sent to the Board of Trustees. As of publication, the petition had 585 signatures.
The Athletic Department also got permission to add the fall sport of cross-country in Fall of 2013. According to Frey, cross-country was her number one pick for a new athletic program for several reasons, including:
- the lack of need for facilities,
- low cost,
- aligning Wilson with other members of the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC), and
- the potential to recruit.
Frey also talked with a number of other institutions within the conference to help her make her decision.
According to Frey, a head cross-country coach will be hired for Fall 2013, and any students who are interested in the sport may join. Any focus on building a team will come later, especially since cross country is a more individual sport. "If there are current students who want to compete, they can. If not, we won't," said Frey.
Cross country was not the only sport considered. Volleyball is another sport that was considered, and multiple students have expressed an interest in the sport before. But Frey said that past history was not promising for a volleyball program. "We have not had success in maintaining a steady volleyball coach," said Frey, adding that a steady coach is an important factor in any program. A facility for the program was another issue. "It's very hard to recruit to a gym like ours, and volleyball players need a gym," said Frey.
Frey said that there's a chance any program could be brought back. "Tennis has been dropped and added twice, volleyball has been dropped and added twice. There was a ten year period where we didn't have gymnastics," said Frey.

There is a lot of debate on here as to whether Cael or Dake is better. I don't want to rehash that. Fact is, they are both 4 timers and they both accomplished that feat in different and equally extraordinary ways (IMHO).
I am curious as to why Pat Smith is not among the talk as "one of the best ever." He is the only other 4xer ever, and everyone seems to be glossing over him and jumping to other 2 and 3xers as 3rd on the list of GOAT.
He may not have been undefeated, and he may have stayed at the same weight all four years, but he still managed to win all four years. Also, he only lost 5 times in his career and all of those were during his true freshman year. (He did have a tie during his junior year, but that wasnt a loss).
I would argue that Pat Smith is in consideration for the top 3 greatest of all time - he found a way to win every single match he ever wrestled in the NCAAs - and there are very few other people that can say that - Cael, Dake, and the 3xers in the era before freshman eligibility.
In looking at Pat Smith's dominance in the NCAA tourney (and considering nothing else) - his stats are:
2 falls
4 techs
6 majors
8 decisions
In route to his four titles, his opponents stats are:
23x AA
I realize many people, such as Gable, McIlravy, Guerrero, and even Ruth and Taylor may have more "dominant" stats - but they all lost in the biggest spotlight when it mattered most. For that reason, I think Pat Smith should be in consideration as 3rd greatest of all time, along with Uetake, Hodge, Bill Koll, etc.

Recipe excerpted from Let My Children Cook! A Passover Cookbook for KidsBy Tamar Ansh, Judaica PressMy kids have friends who make chicken like this and have been asking me for ages to do it with them too. What a treat!
Let's get to it!4 chicken legs, each cut in half so you have 4 drumsticks and 4 thighs½ cup matzah meal or potato starch1 tablespoon garlic powder1 tablespoon onion powder¼ teaspoon black pepper1 tablespoon paprika1 teaspoon parsley flakes1 large bag potato chips (200-gram bag)4 eggsCooking oil spray
And here's how you do it! 1. Wash off the chicken legs; take the skin off each one. Pat them dry and place them on a plate. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).2. Place the matzah meal (or potato starch) and all the spices into a bowl. Mix together with a fork.3. Put all the eggs into another bowl, and beat them lightly with a fork.4. In another bowl, crush the potato chips into very small pieces.5. Spray a large baking pan with cooking oil spray. Dip each chicken piece into the matzah meal mix with the spices, then the egg, and then the potato chips. Lay it down in the pan and continue until all the chicken pieces have been double-coated.6. Any matzah meal crumbs and/or potato chip crumbs that are left over must be thrown out. They had raw chicken dipped into them and cannot be eaten! Don't lick your fingers after dipping them into thepotato chip crumbs. Wash your hands off really well after handling raw chicken.7. Spray the chicken pieces with the cooking oil spray to coat. Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes until the chicken is fork-tender. Do not overbake.
TIP! If you want to kick things up a bit, you can add 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (hot paprika) into the spice & matzah meal mix...
Recipe: Kosher, poultry, passover, pesach

Dear Mr. Terry Pratchett and the Discworld Community
A long time ago, through pure serendipity, I came across my first Discworld book: Small Gods. It was quite possibly one of the most insightful, enjoyable and clever books I had ever had the pleasure of reading. Small Gods led to Reaper Man. Reaper Man led to Night Watch. Night Watch led to the most voracious appetite for the works of an author I have ever known. I introduced the writings of Terry Pratchett to my girlfriend back then; a woman I had only begun to date.
You made us laugh together. You made us think. You helped us to bond. When times were good we would follow along with Commander Vimes as he tried to crush out evil and stupidity with the incredibly thin soles of his boots. When times weren't so good, I would turn to the stories of Rincewind and realize that no matter how bad it was, it could always be worse. At least I never had a homicidal box on legs following behind me.
Terry, with the aid of your stories and your humor, my girlfriend and I became ever closer through the intervening years. I am proud to say that that woman is now my wife. We got married a few short months ago and as a wedding gift to us, knowing our mutual love for your stories, my father hand carved out of cherry wood the most epic cake stand the world has ever seen. He carved a giant turtle with four unique elephants riding on it's back. He brought me in to help him and I truly cherish my memories of him and I in the shop slowly sanding and shaping the form of the elephants and detailing the scales of the turtle. A year and a half of continuous effort and roughly 1000 man hours of dedicated work ensured that the turtle was done roughly 2 weeks before the wedding.
The table top measures just over two feet round. The turtle is roughly three feet long from tip to tail and weighs in at a healthy 80 pounds. The whole thing sits 16 inches off the base. As I mentioned previously, the whole thing was carved by hand.
Shortly after the wedding, my wife and I moved across the country. We live in Canada and we moved from one coast to the other. When you live in Canada, moving across the country truly means something. I built a special crate for transporting it with us and my new friends who helped us move into our first place could not stop talking about it. That cake stand my Dad carved is now the centerpiece and coffee table in my first home. Every day we see it and every day I am reminded of the time him and I spent. It is our most prized possession.
I have included the pictures that our wedding photographers took on the day. While it did take a little explaining to the uninitiated at the wedding, the A'tuin cake stand was a roaring success. It was the most photographed wedding cake that I have ever seen. I have also included several pictures from our big unveiling shortly before the wedding. The handsome gentleman in the one picture is my wonderful father.
Since this whole thing was ultimately your idea, we wanted to let you share in on the joy and what is now our greatest treasure.
Thank You for all the memories.

I don't think they'll go with Alexandra: as people have mentioned, there is already a working member of the royal family whose title is "HRH Princess Alexandra" (true, there are also two Prince Edwards, but the eldest has been styled HRH The Duke of Kent for decades and so the confusion is avoided). She's also William's godmother so he may associate the name too much her and so it may not feel "kidlike".
I keep thinking William and Kate will go for a popular name that they like (but one that is still appropriate enough for a monarch), and will leave historical or family names for the middle. They never showed any signs of being particularly interested in royal history and traditions so (sadly) I doubt a "boring"/oldfashioned name that's full of significance (like Mary, Victoria, Adelaide, Alfred, Philip, Richard) would appeal to them. And looking at the names recently picked by William's friends and extended family, not to mention other "modern" royals (Savannah, Isla, Xan, Lyla, Tane, Lola, Ariane, Athena, Estelle), I'm relieved the Queen has has veto power!Arabella, Thibault, Sophia, Alfred, Eleanor, Rémi, Charlotte, Achille, Olivia, Clement, Elizabeth, Frederick, Maud, Benedict, Adèle.

My mother, who is a psychic medium, tuned in and heard "Helena" for this or a future royal daughter...(!) the last Princess Helena was a daughter of Queen Victoria and renowned for being one of the founders of the Red Cross. She's an admirable namesake. Who knows?
Personally I think Alexandra is out because it is already in overuse among the royals. I would love a left field choice like Adelaide, Helena, Philippa... But another part of me thinks Mary would be a prudent political choice, what with Scotland considering leaving the UK and all. It would also be a nod to Catholics. I would LOVE to see a Princess Mary...I think that name deserves a revival.
I doubt they will use Alexandra, Charlotte, Louise/Louisa, Anne, Eleanor, Sarah, Beatrice, Caroline, Eliza (in use in both Camilla's and Diana's family in the current generation) or Victoria because they are already in use within the royal family, Diana's or Camilla's family, or the broader European royal pool. I also doubt they will use Jane because it might be considered unlucky. Margaret might also be considered a wee bit unlucky-- I highly doubt they'd go that direction.
For boys, I did an analysis a few weeks ago by combing the lists of William's closest relatives and it seemed like almost every classic male name was already taken by someone under 20, or had unlucky connotations, like John. Perhaps Philip (especially if the Queen's husband unfortunately passes before the birth...he just had a bad health scare), George, or Henry (Harry's full name). James is definitely out because of James Hewitt, and Freddie is one of Camilla's grandchildren, as well as the next Earl Spencer (William's first cousin, who is still a child). I doubt they'd use Charles.
Final guesses:
George, Henry, or Philip for a boy (in that order)
Helena (nod to my mother, who has been correct before...), Mary, or Elizabeth for a girl. Frances as a distant possibility if they want to honor Diana. Or Eleanor (her choice, or so it's been said, if William or Harry had been female).

Also one more note-- it's somewhat obscure, but I'd be surprised if Alice isn't tainted by the fact that Alice Keppel, Camilla's maternal Great-Grandmother, was the mistress to King Edward VII, the Queen's great-grandfather. That is Camilla's original link to the royal family in a way (though she is not a descendent of Edward VII) and was echoed by her affair with Charles. I highly doubt Kate and William would want to highlight that link (if for no other reason than to spare Camilla any embarrassment by drawing attention to Alice Keppel, as Camilla and William seem to get along fine now and Camilla has been adopted into the family).
I don't think they'll be using Alice. Pity as it's lovely.

I know how you're classified
The boss at WWOZ asked us tree elves to write about a 2010 WWOZ highlight:
Tork torched, Theresa toasted, Shamarr shook down, Papa grew funky, Uganda conga-ed, Glen David consecrated, Willie Green spun emerald webs, Soul Sister sizzled. You can trust some things over 30.
Tune in tomorrow, Thursday 12/9 during the final hour of the morning set (8am central) when Anthony Cuccia, of "the Other Planets" will come by for an extended stay in the studio, he was generous enough to offer a little live in-studio tickling of the ivories, as well as bringing in some music from some assorted projects for us to hear.
New Orleans paid tribute to one of its most famous native sons with the unveiling of a new bronze statue of the Chief in Legends Park on Bourbon Street Saturday night.
Join us Fri. Dec. 10 for Pt. 2 of the ongoing series Soundclash. Brice Nice will be joining Alski in a friendly musical cutting contest. Soul, gospel, reggae, funk and ?. Pretty much anything with a groove.
Alright!Alright! Alroute! Alreet!In celebration of Dr. John's 70th birthday last November 21, the Tone Scientists and Mad Programmers of the Kitchen Sink will be playing 2 hours of the Night Tripper this Tuesday, 12/7/10. We'll play some of the classics, but mainly on the Dr. John work of the past decade, the newer stuff that nobody hears but totally rocks. Or maybe we'll play other stuff.

Rebirth Brass Band got the crowd on their feet before Trombone Shorty's show at the House of Blues Friday night. Cleveland got a special treat when members of the Andrews family (James and Glen) made a surprise guest appearance with Troy.
On Thursday, November 11, a room full of music lovers and jazz greats alike converged on Loyola University's Roussel Hall to celebrate and the life and work of legendary drummer Idris Muhammad, whose accomplishments and contributions to music throughout his life have helped to shape not only New Orleans jazz and blues but also music around the globe. On stage were familiar faces including Donald Harrison, Detroit Brooks, Gerald French, and Shaka Zulu, as well as young, up-and-comers Joe Dyson, Max Moran, and Zaccai Curtis.
The night began with an upbeat selection from Harrison's new album Quantum Leap. Later in the set, "Young M.J.: A tribute to Michael Jackson" made for a refreshing change, with rich harmonies reminiscent of Motown. Mardi Gras Indians also jammed with the band, ending in a rhythmic "Hey Pocky Way" that had the entire audience dancing.
New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation board member Dr. Henry C. Lacey presented the guest of honor with a proclamation from Mayor Landrieu thanking Idris Muhammad for his many contributions to drumming. Idris was quick to thank everyone in attendance, noting how pleased he was to receive this award while he was still alive to enjoy it. He spoke of traveling the world and playing with many different musicians, but declared how nice it was to be retired and in his home town of New Orleans, "where the red beans and rice are always warm."
Although Muhammad has officially retired, he played a short tune on a drum that was presented to him by the original cast of the Broadway musical "Hair." The traditional drum from New Guinea was made from a hollow cylinder of wood carved with intricate designs. The band then re-took the stage for the second set, with selections like "Blueberry Hill," "Alligator Boogaloo," and "Loran's Dance" from Idris's album "Power of Soul."

In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also have access to and attend schools both before and after primary and secondary education. Kindergarten or pre-school provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3-5). University, vocational school, college or seminary may be available after (or in lieu of) secondary school. A school may also be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or a school of dance. Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods.
There are also non-government schools, called private schools. Private schools may be for children with special needs when the government does not supply for them; religious, such as Christian Schools, Khalsa Schools, Torah Schools and others; or schools that have a higher standard of education or seek to foster other personal achievements.
In homeschooling and online schools, teaching and learning take place outside of a traditional school building.
The use of the term school varies by country, as do the names of the various levels of education within the country.
In the United Kingdom, the term school refers primarily to pre-university institutions, and these can, for the most part, be divided into pre-schools or nursery schools, primary schools (sometimes further divided into infant school and junior school), and secondary schools. There are various types of secondary schools which include grammar schools, comprehensives, secondary moderns and city academies. In Scotland school performance is monitored by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education. Ofsted reports on performance in England and Wales.
In the United Kingdom, most schools are publicly funded and known as state schools or maintained schools in which tuition is provided free. There are also private schools or independent schools that charge fees. Some of the most selective and expensive private schools are known as public schools, a usage that can be confusing to speakers of North American English. In North American usage, a public school is one that is publicly funded or run.
In much of the Commonwealth of Nations, including Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Tanzania, the term school refers primarily to pre-university institutions.
In much of continental Europe, the term school usually applies to primary education, with primary schools that last between six and nine years, depending on the country. It also applies to secondary education, with secondary schools often divided between Gymnasiums and vocational schools, which again depending on country and type of school take between three and six years. The term school is rarely used for tertiary education, except for some upper or high schools (German: Hochschule) which are used to describe colleges and universities.
In North America, the term school can refer to any educational institution at any level, and covers all of the following: preschool (for toddlers), kindergarten, elementary school, middle school (also called intermediate school or junior high school, depending on specific age groups and geographic region), senior high school, college, university, and graduate school.
In the US, school performance through high school is monitored by each state's Department of Education. Charter schools are publicly funded elementary or secondary schools that have been freed from some of the rules, regulations, and statutes that apply to other public schools. The terms grammar school and grade school are sometimes used to refer to a primary school.
Boarding schools are schools where students live full-time amongst their peers in dormitories. Some boarding schools are separated by gender.
Schools are organized spaces purposed for teaching and learning. The classrooms, where teachers teach and students learn, are of central importance, but typical schools have many other areas which may include:
The concept of grouping students together in a centralized location for learning has existed since Classical antiquity. Formal schools have existed at least since ancient Greece (see Academy), ancient India (see Gurukul) and ancient China (see History of education in China). The Byzantine Empire had an established schooling system beginning at the primary level. According to Traditions and Encounters, the founding of the primary education system began in 425 A.D. and "… military personnel usually had at least a primary education …". The Byzantine education system continued until the empire's collapse in 1453 AD.
Islam was another culture to develop a schooling system in the modern sense of the word. Emphasis was put on knowledge and therefore a systematic way of teaching and spreading knowledge was developed in purpose built structures. At first, mosques combined both religious performance and learning activities, but by the ninth century, the Madrassa was introduced, a proper school built independently from the mosque. They were also the first to make the Madrassa system a public domain under the control of the Caliph. The Nizamiyya madrasa is considered by consensus of scholars to be the earliest surviving school, built towards 1066 CE by Emir Nizam Al-Mulk.
Under the Ottomans, the towns of Bursa and Edirne became the main centers of learning. The Ottoman system of Kulliye, a building complex containing a mosque, a hospital, madrassa, and public kitchen and dining areas, revolutionized the education system, making learning accessible to a wider public through its free meals, health care and sometimes free accommodation.
The nineteenth century historian, Scott holds that a remarkable correspondence exists between the procedure established by those institutions and the methods of the present day. They had their collegiate courses, their prizes for proficiency in scholarship, their oratorical and poetical contests, their commencements and their degrees. In the department of medicine, a severe and prolonged examination, conducted by the most eminent physicians of the capital, was exacted of all candidates desirous of practicing their profession, and such as were unable to stand the test were formally pronounced incompetent.
In Europe during the Middle Ages and much of the Early Modern period, the main purpose of schools (as opposed to universities) was to teach the Latin language. This led to the term grammar school which in the United States is used informally to refer to a primary school but in the United Kingdom means a school that selects entrants on their ability or aptitude. Following this, the school curriculum has gradually broadened to include literacy in the vernacular language as well as technical, artistic, scientific and practical subjects.
Many of the earlier public schools in the United States were one-room schools where a single teacher taught seven grades of boys and girls in the same classroom. Beginning in the 1920s, one-room schools were consolidated into multiple classroom facilities with transportation increasingly provided by kid hacks and school buses.
The safety of staff and students is increasingly becoming an issue for school communities, an issue most schools are addressing through improved security. After mass shootings such as the Columbine High School massacre and the Virginia Tech incident, many school administrators in the United States have created plans to protect students and staff in the event of a school shooting. Some have also taken measures such as installing metal detectors or video surveillance. Others have even taken measures such as having the children swipe identification cards as they board the school bus. For some schools, these plans have included the use of door numbering to aid public safety response.
Other security concerns faced by schools include bomb threats, gangs, vandalism, and bullying.
Stress effects students sometimes more severly then teachers, up to the point where kids are being prescribed stress medication. Reasons for this stress is claimed to be related to standardized testing, and the pressure on students to score above average.

GMP unveils art deco design for Eastman buildingBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | February 21,2013Photo Provided
Green Mountain Power unveiled the design for its Energy Innovation Center, located in the former Eastmans building on Merchants Row.Conceptually, Green Mountain Powers Energy Innovation Center will be all about the future.
Physically, at least on the outside, it will be a link to the past.
Green Mountain Power unveiled the design for the center, located in the former Eastmans building on Merchants Row, after winning approval from the citys Architectural Review Board, which is charged with maintaining downtown Rutlands historic character.
We had to respect the history of the building, the way it looked, said Steve Costello, the utilitys vice president of generation and energy innovation. The art deco style we had to stay within the framework of that style.
The plan will maintain or restore art deco features on the facade, adding a revolving door and a stylistically consistent sign. The adjoining storefront will have the same look.
The building to the left didnt have any historical charm or character, Costello said. Were trying to tie them together.
The sign, located in between, also serves to integrate the buildings while accentuating the art deco style.
If you go over and look at it, its a very plain building in a lot of ways right now, Costello said. It really is going to be something special, I think, and a great addition to the downtown.
Costello said GMP will operate much of the building on direct current or DC power which lost out to alternating current (AC) in the battle between Thomas Edison and Nicola Tesla over how to electrify America.
DC, we think, has potential to be much more effective and lower-cost, Costello said. Now a lot of people are starting to think DC might be better for a lot of functions. ... We expect to run our lights and some of our systems with DC.
Heat will come from air-source heat pumps. The roof will hold a solar array and the utility will experiment in energy storage, trying to bank power from the rooftop for use when the sun isnt shining.
Costello said it was too early to discuss the displays for the museum area planned for the front of the building, but that the utility plans to take full advantage of the display windows
Costello said GMP expects to get the final city building permit in seven to 10 days and is on track to begin construction in March, following completion of asbestos remediation, and open the building in October.

A 15-year-old boy in Ohio required a visit to the emergency room after he inhaled a dart from a homemade blowgun, according to a new report of his case.
The dart lodged in the boy's airway after he inhaled deeply while holding the blowgun in his mouth. Blowguns are designed to allow darts to be propelled outward by the force of an exhaled breath. The gun mostly consists of a narrow tube.
When he arrived at the emergency room, the boy had already been coughing for three hours. Although the boy said he had just been playing with his siblings — with no mention of the blowgun — X-rays of his airway revealed the dart. After further questioning, the boy admitted to using the blowgun.
The case highlights the potential dangers of blowguns for teens, especially when the blowguns are made by using instructions on the Internet, which the boy had done. Most websites that provide instructions regarding how to make blowguns do not adequately warn about the guns' risks, the researchers said.
"It's really a setup for foreign body aspiration," study researcher Dr. Kris Jatana, an ear, nose and throat doctor at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, said of blowgun use by teens. (Aspiration means inhaling a foreign material.)
When a child inhales deeply (to produce a forceful breath to propel the dart forward), their vocal chords open fully, which makes it easier for objects to enter their airway, Jatana said.
The boy underwent a nonsurgical procedure in which a tube is inserted down the throat to view objects in the airway, and the dart was removed. Despite inhaling a sharp object, the boy was not harmed by the ordeal, according to the case report.

Man gets minimum for dealing crack cocaineBy Josh OGorman
STAFF WRITER | May 07,2013A Rutland man who prosecutors say terrorized his fellow residents by dealing crack cocaine in the city received the minimum sentence called for by federal sentencing guidelines Monday.
John Crawford, 34, received a 57-month sentence in U.S. District Court in Rutland after pleading guilty to two felony charges of distribution of crack cocaine.
In a sentencing memorandum filed with the court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Nolan requested a 71-month sentence for Crawford, who was known locally as IG.
Defendant (Crawford) distributed cocaine base and terrorized the citizens of Rutland by constantly carrying and sometimes discharging firearms in a city plagued by drugs, court records state.
March 12, 2012, court records state, Crawford discharged .357 Magnum revolver in the presence of a child at 20 Hopkins St. During an investigation of that incident, members of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives learned Crawford had purchased 11 guns later used in crimes in Cincinnati between 1999 and 2000.
April 30, 2012, records state, an informant working for the ATF purchased heroin from Crawford.
The informant reports that the defendant always has a firearm on him in a holster, records state. During the transaction, defendant expresses an interest in acquiring firearms and explains he has boys in Bennington who would be interested in guns for sale.
May 15, 2012, the Vermont Drug Task Force used a different informant to buy crack cocaine from Crawford, records state, and May 28, Rutland City Police responded to complaint of people dealing drugs from a parked car and found Crawford in possession of a loaded .380-caliber pistol with a laser sight. Crawford was prohibited from possessing firearms as a condition of release stemming from his March 12 charges, records state.
May 29, while in custody, Crawford was found to be in possession of 14 bags of heroin, records state. July 5, Crawford again sold crack cocaine to an informant with the Vermont Drug Task Force, according to court records.
Crawford was aware he was prohibited from carrying guns. July 20, records state, Crawford fell off of a scooter and was transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center.
While at the hospital, officers seize a fully-loaded pistol and another 56 rounds of ammunition from defendants (Crawfords) backpack, along with a crack pipe and a state court order prohibiting him from possessing firearms, court records state.
At the time of the crash, according to court records, Crawford reportedly told ATF investigators, My boys know I carry so they bring me along on their deals as muscle.
Under federal sentencing guidelines, Crawford could have been sentenced to as many as 71 months in prison. Instead, Judge William K. Sessions gave Crawford 57 months, the minimum sentence called for by the guidelines, to be followed by two years of supervised release.

If you have questions or would like additional information, please complete the
request for information form on the right, or call 800.345.2562 to speak with
an admissions counselor.
You may begin taking courses at Post University while completing the admissions process. You will be permitted to take up to 12 credits while completing the application process. However, you cannot matriculate and will not be eligible for financial aid until your entire application is complete. A completed application must include a copy of your official transcript and must demonstrate that you have met all academic requirements, including having a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Federal financial aid will not be granted until you have matriculated.
Learn more about admissions policies and requirements for applicants by selecting from the links below: Â Â Â Â Â Â
Applications for admission are available at http://leads.post.edu/adpapp/index.aspx.
In addition to the application, you must submit your transcripts, as follows:
If you have never attended Post or any other college, you will need to either: 1) contact your high school and request that it forward your official school record, or 2) forward your GED high-school equivalency test scores to the Office of Admissions.
Post University requires students who will be matriculating at the University to provide an official copy of their high school transcript with a posted graduation date or proof of successful completion of a GED program. An appropriate substitute for a high school transcript is proof of successful completion of a home-schooling program. Students who are currently enrolled at a high school may submit a transcript, including currently enrolled courses for admissions purposes, but an official high school transcript with the graduation date must be provided to the University before matriculation.
Students applying to Post University must be enrolled in, or have successfully completed, at least 16 credits in a college preparatory program. High schools and GED accreditation must be recognized by a state, regional, or other accrediting agency that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
An official copy of a transcript is a transcript that is certified by the student's high school with a signature and stamped with the school's seal. The transcript must arrive in a sealed envelope from the student's high school and must bear the student's high school graduation date. Transcripts that are delivered without being in a sealed envelope by the high school will not be considered official.
Students who have matriculated at an accredited college or university and have earned more than 12 credits at that institution are required to present official transcripts for evaluation and are not required to provide a high school transcript.
If you have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher from an accredited two-year or four-year educational institution, credits from courses with a grade of C or above may be transferred. No more than 75 credits can be accepted from a two-year college.
Official high school or college transcripts should be submitted directly to Admissions. You may authorize Post University to obtain these transcripts on your behalf by downloading the Transcript Request form at:
http://www.post.edu/transcript and either faxing it to Admissions at 203.765.5810 or mailing it to:
Post University Online
Office of ADP Admissions
800 Country Club Road
P.O. Box 2540
Waterbury, CT 06723
Use one form for each institution you'd like us to contact on your behalf in order to obtain your official transcripts. Post University evaluates potential transfer credits upon receipt of official transcripts. You can get a head start on the evaluation process by submitting unofficial transcripts of grades and credits for prior coursework to Admissions, with a statement indicating where you are in the application process.
To complete the application for admission, please visit https://go.post.edu/adpapp/index.aspx.
Official Transcripts which are sent electronically from another institution will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. All electronic official transcripts must be sent by the institution directly or by an organization contracted with that institution to send transcripts in a secure manner over the Internet.
The evaluation of transfer credits is a complicated and critical institutional function --one that each of us must address with concern for our students and those who wish to join the Post community, and with careful consideration of the regulatory standards that govern the evaluation and acceptance of such credits.
Accordingly, the University has had a long-standing practice of accepting credits only from legitimately-accredited academic institutions. Historically, determining what constitutes a 'legitimately accredited college or university' has presented some confusion.
Accordingly, as the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) is the ultimate authority on accreditation, Post University will adhere to DOE practices in recognizing which American institutions are 'legitimately accredited'.
Any American academic institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as accredited for the purpose of granting Associate, Bachelor's or Master's Degrees, is accredited. Any academic credits awarded by that institution are legitimate academic credits and are eligible for transfer into Post University if applicable to the desired program of study.
The easily accessible U.S. Department of Education Data Base of Accredited Post Secondary Institutions and Programs at http://www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation/ provides a list of accredited American institutions. Please refer to that database when determining academic accreditation.
In addition, Post University is proud to support our military service members, veterans, and dependents in the pursuit of their college education. Post University has been recognized as a Military Friendly School for the past four consecutive years, and is a proud member of the Service members Opportunity Colleges Consortium (SOC) and the SOC Degree Network System (SOC DNS). Post University also is honored to be a signatory to the Department of Defense Memorandum of Understanding (DoD MOU) and fully supports Presidential Executive Order 13607 establishing the "Principles of Excellence". The University is in compliance with the GI Bill Compliance Act, and is a member of the American Council on Education (ACE). As such, in accordance with the requirements of the DoD MOU and the SOC DNS, Post University follows the recommendations of ACE in the transfer of credit for military training and experience, and other nationally-recognized professional training in subject areas taught by the University. For our military program students this means a maximum of 90 transfer credits for a baccalaureate degree or 45 transfer credits for an associate degree may be applied based on a review of a military program student's Joint Service Transcript (JST).
For the purpose of this policy, a home-schooled student is defined as someone who has completed a secondary school education in a home school setting that is treated as a home school or private school under state law.
Home-schooled students who have completed a home-based secondary education and are at least 18 years of age are eligible for admission to Post University and Post University's Accelerated Degree Program upon satisfaction of all the University's standard admission requirements. The applicant should submit transcripts from any secondary school attended, a high school study plan signed by the parent or provider of the home schooling, and a state secondary completion credential if such documents exist.
However, not all states, including Connecticut, require or issue transcripts, a high school study plan, or a state secondary school credential. In the absence of such documents, the student must sit for and pass a GED federal or state high school equivalency exam.
Home-schooled applicants are required to seek a personal interview with a Post University admissions counselor.
Home-schooled applicants denied admission to the University may appeal that decision to the Provost or his designee. If and when the State of Connecticut enacts laws or issues policies regarding home-schooled students or their admission to State-licensed colleges and universities, this policy will be revised and reissued to ensure compliance with Connecticut State Regulations.

International applicants must meet all regular requirements for admission. Applicants must also provide an original, official bank statement proving the ability to pay the cost of attendance. Qualified applicants who cannot demonstrate financial responsibility will not be admitted. At present, there is no financial aid available for non-U.S. students. All foreign documents and transcripts must be translated into English at the student's expense and verified by the educational institution in the home country or a U.S. academic credential evaluation agency. The University reserves the right to require additional evidence of competency or to require that students admitted to the undergraduate program take courses to develop their English language skills.
Post University welcomes applications from students with disabilities. The University will not deny admission to a qualified student and will make a reasonable effort to accommodate a student's disability so as to maximize his or her potential for success. The purpose of accommodations is to "level the playing field," not to provide an unfair advantage. The University is required, under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, to provide reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities.
The University will determine if we are reasonably able to accommodate your needs and will inform you as to the nature and extent of the accommodations the University is reasonably able to provide. The Coordinator of Student Disability Services works closely with students and their professors to provide reasonable accommodations to help students complete their course work. In order to provide 'reasonable accommodations' to students with disabilities, the Coordinator and the student MUST consider three factors:
The documentation must:
Identify the learning or physical disability, list the academic/learning limitations caused by the disability, and suggest appropriate learning accommodations based on classroom setting (online or on ground).
This information is confidential. The Coordinator of Student Disability Services will only share the necessary accommodation information with the student's professors, unless more permission is given. Students are responsible for notifying the Coordinator of Student Disability Services at the beginning of every module/semester about what courses he/she is taking. Information cannot be released to instructors unless the instructor submits a request through email or speaks with the Coordinator of Student Disability Services in person. No other information will be revealed to any element of the University without the student's consent. Many students, however, choose to sign a waiver, allowing the Coordinator of Student Disability Services the opportunity to speak about the student's disability with other University Support Services, so that the student is provided support from all other areas, including: Academic Affairs, Athletics, Counseling Center, Learning Center and Residence Life.
Students with IEP /Special Ed Diplomas
Students with IEP/Special Ed Diplomas must provide the following paperwork/documentation to be accepted to the University:
1. An IEP or Neuropsychological Evaluation that clearly states that the student's reading, writing and math levels are high school or above.
2. A copy of the student's high school transcript.
If a student cannot provide these materials or the Reading/Writing and Math Levels of the student do not fulfill the High School Level criteria, the student will be denied admission to the University. In some cases, writing sample will be requested from the student if levels of academic achievement are unclear in the documentation provided.
For more detailed information on accommodations that can and cannot be made, concerned students must contact the Coordinator of Student Disability Services.
To be considered a matriculated undergraduate student, either online or at a regional location, you must have completed these steps:
• Submit an application form;
• Declare a major;
• Submit an official high school transcript or GED*;
• Submit an Intent to Enroll form for the current term
*If you have completed a minimum of 12 credits at a regionally or nationally accredited college or university, you can submit an official transcript from that institution instead.
Post University has a rolling admissions policy, allowing decisions to be made as soon as the candidate's file is complete. In addition to the requirements outlined above, the candidate must have the recommendation of an Admissions counselor, which is gained through an admissions interview conducted by telephone.
Acceptance to Post University is based on an evaluation of the candidate's qualifications and the recommendation of an Admissions advisor. All decisions are made without regard to race, creed, color, religion, national origin, handicap, or sexual orientation.
PLEASE NOTE: Students who have attended other colleges or universities will need to request their academic transcripts be sent to the Office of Admissions before they can be matriculated. Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial aid.

As part of Post University's V.E.T.S program, Post University has a team of specially trained admissions counselors to meet the needs of Veterans. The goal of the V.E.T.S program is to reduce the anxieties of enrolling into college faced by many veterans. To achieve this, your Post University Admissions Counselor works collaboratively with all offices at the University to ensure the specific needs of the student-veteran are addressed and met. Your admissions counselor will provide admissions counseling, help determine the right degree for you based on your military experience and any transfer credits you may have.

To obtain a copy of your JST, please go to https://jst.doded.mil/smart/welcome.do and follow the instructions; it is a simple process.

What is St. John's wort?
St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is an herb that has been used for 2,000 years for health purposes. The genus name Hypericum is from the Latin word hyper, meaning "above," and icon, meaning "spirit." The species name, perforatum, refers to puncture-like black marks on the underside of the plant's leaves.
St. John's wort, especially its tiny yellow flowers, is a natural source of hypericin and other flavonoid (antioxidant) compounds. Hypericin, a natural pigment and the active ingredient in St. John's wort, has become the subject of intensive biochemical research over the past three decades.

PONCE de LEON — Mayor Sheena Hougland and Town Council members John Harrison, Charlotte Montgomery and Denise Serigne were sworn in at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Ponce de Leon Town Council on Thursday, Jan. 3.
Hougland won the election to be reelected as mayor after running unopposed and Serigne and Harrison returned to their seats as members.
Montgomery was welcomed as the newest member after council member Judy Reynolds announced that she would not be returning to her seat during their meeting on Thursday, Dec. 7.
Ponce de Leon Town Attorney Lyndia Spears updated the council with their latest endeavors to contact Oshkosh's attorney.
Ponce de Leon received a new fire truck using grant money, however the town has recently receiving letters stating that the town owes money on the truck.
"I've faxed him a copy of the contract and he even called today," said Spears. "At first he said he didn't remember me ever sending anything so I showed him the e-mail that I sent, faxed the contract to him and explained it again."
She said he asked about the $15,000 trade in for one of the town's older fire trucks and she said that they had told the town they didn't want the truck, but if they were still interested they can come pick it up.
She said then there was an issue with extra equipment on the truck.
"I've heard of this type of bait and switch before," said Spears. "They'll add all kinds of extra stuff and wait until later and charge you more. What's worse is that even if they do take back that equipment they can tell you they sold it for less then it was worth and charge you the difference."
Spears advised that the company is in direct violation of their contract in sending the bill and threatening to repossess and that the town should consider suing the company to let them know the town was serious about resolving the matter.
Town Council Administrator Beth Peterson addressed the council with the upcoming raises and advised that the council to put the raises on hold until October because of the financial restraints facing the town.
"By my calculations, with these raises the expenses will be raised by $39.29 a week," said Peterson. "It wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't lost the income coming from renting out the old shirt factory."
The old shirt factory is a 22,000 square-foot warehouse owned and rented out by the town which is located near the Ponce de Leon water tower.
"It's been over a year since Blue Rhino left and we still haven't rented it back out," said Peterson. "They were paying $1,800 a month, but we should consider renegotiating. Also it would be a good idea to put out a banner saying it's for rent."
Spears suggested that they needed a more aggressive person to help rent it out and Hougland suggested bringing the matter before the Holmes County Development Commission for help advertising the building.
The council approved of readdressing the possibility of raises in October in the hopes that the building would be rented out by then.
Serigne told the council that she had been approached by a resident inquiring about the possibility of recycle bins being placed in town.
The town agreed to contact Holmes County Recycling about putting out bins and possibly picking up the contents on a regular basis.
"I just wanted to say that we've had recycling bens before," said Peterson. "The problem was that people were also dropping off large trash items like mattresses."
Resident Wendy Varner approached the council saying she and several others wanted to put together town events for the local people and children.
"We need something for the children," said Varner. "We want to get local artists together for art shows, bring athletes to talk to schools, hold bake sales, have an 'American Idol,' hold a Gospel Sing."
She said they wanted to do volunteer events to "bring attention to our town and to be our town's folk together."
"We're interested in getting our children and our community involved," said Varner. "I pass people in the street and no one is smiling. We're loosing our society; we need to be a family and there's a too many talented people here to let it go to waste."
She said she could put out a monthly calendar of all the events to be done and the events should start in February.
"If you're willing to put in the work we're willing to support you," said Hougland and the council approved.
Resident Danny Ricko approached the council about putting on a wrestling tournament with a small concert during intermission ever month at the town's gym.
"I finance my own group and team up with a group from out of Alabama," said Ricko. "It's a family-friendly event."
He said the first would be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 26 and if that went well then the next would be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23.
Spears advised that they confirm that he had proof of insurance on the event before proceeding.
The council approved of the wrestling events for up to six months pending on the verification of proof of insurance and after the six months was up they would discuss if they should raise the rate of $50 per month.
The next regularly scheduled Ponce de Leon Town Council meeting is set for 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 7.

The judge, Army Col. Denise Lind, deliberated for about 16 hours over three days before reaching her decision in a case that drew worldwide attention as supporters hailed Manning as a whistleblower. The
Manning stood at attention, flanked by his attorneys, as the judge read her verdicts. He appeared not to react, though his attorney, David Coombs, smiled faintly when he heard not guilty on aiding the enemy, which carried a potential life sentence.
When the judge was done, Coombs put his hand on Manning's back and whispered something to him, eliciting a slight smile on the soldier's face.
Manning was convicted on 19 of 21 charges, and he previously pleaded guilty to a charge involving an Icelandic cable. He faces up to 136 years in prison. His sentencing hearing begins Wednesday.
Coombs came outside the court to a round of applause and shouts of "thank you" from a few dozen Manning supporters.
"We won the battle, now we need to go win the war," Coombs said of the sentencing phase. "Today is a good day, but Bradley is by no means out of the fire."
Supporters thanked him for his work. One slipped him a private note. Others asked questions about verdicts that they didn't understand.
Manning's court-martial was unusual because he acknowledged giving the anti-secrecy website more than 700,000 battlefield reports and diplomatic cables, and video of a 2007 U.S. helicopter attack that killed civilians in Iraq, including a Reuters news photographer and his driver.
In the footage, airmen laughed and called targets "dead bastards." A military investigation found troops mistook the camera equipment for weapons.
Besides the aiding the enemy acquittal, Manning was also found not guilty of an espionage charge when the judge found prosecutors had not proved their assertion Manning started giving material to WikiLeaks in late 2009. Manning said he started the leaks in February the following year.
Manning pleaded guilty earlier this year to lesser offenses that could have brought him 20 years behind bars, yet the government continued to pursue all but one of the original, more serious charges.
Manning said during a pre-trial hearing in February he leaked the material to expose the U.S military's "bloodlust" and disregard for human life, and what he considered American diplomatic deceit. He said he chose information he believed would not the harm the
Coombs portrayed Manning as a "young, naive but good-intentioned" soldier who was in emotional turmoil, partly because he was a gay service member at a time when homosexuals were barred from serving openly in the
He said Manning could have sold the information or given it directly to the enemy, but he gave it to WikiLeaks in an attempt to "spark reform" and provoke debate. Counterintelligence witnesses valued the
Coombs said Manning had no way of knowing whether al-Qaida would access the secret-spilling website and a 2008 counterintelligence report showed the government itself didn't know much about the site.
The defense attorney also mocked the testimony of a former supervisor who said Manning told her the American flag meant nothing to him and she suspected before they deployed to
The government said Manning had sophisticated security training and broke signed agreements to protect the secrets. He even had to give a presentation on operational security during his training after he got in trouble for posting a YouTube video about what he was learning.
The lead prosecutor, Maj. Ashden Fein, said Manning knew the material would be seen by al-Qaida, a key point prosecutor needed to prove to get an aiding the enemy conviction. Even Osama bin Laden had some of the digital files at his compound when he was killed.
Some of Manning's supporters attended nearly every day of two-month trial, many of them protesting outside the
Hours before the verdict, about two dozen demonstrators gathered outside the gates of the military post, proclaiming their admiration for Manning.
"He wasn't trying to aid the enemy. He was trying to give people the information they need so they can hold their government accountable," said Barbara Bridges, of
On its official Twitter account, WikiLeaks blasted the verdict and the Obama administration, calling it "dangerous national security extremism."
The court-martial unfolded as another low-level intelligence worker, Edward Snowden, revealed
Manning's supporters believed a conviction for aiding the enemy would have a chilling effect on leakers who want to expose wrongdoing by giving information to websites and the media.
Before Snowden, Manning's case was the most high-profile espionage prosecution for the Obama administration, which has been criticized for its crackdown on leakers.
