Quote:There was a link here a few weeks ago that discussed the analysis of pier deflection based on pier diameter and wall thickness. I read the link carefully because I'm also using 6" steel box tubing for my pier (about 41" high). I wish I could find the link, but the bottom line is that you won't have much deflection at 22". One thing that does help though is to add reinforcing members at the baseplate, which is the point of maximum stress.JimC

The Cablevision-Tribune standoff is over.
The Bethpage-based cable operator said Friday night that it had reached a deal with the parent company of WPIX.
The New York station had been unavailable to Cablevision subscribers since mid-August, when negotiations over retransmission fees broke down.
In a statement, Cablevision said "We sincerely appreciate the patience of our customers as we worked to reach an agreement that is consistent with our focus on minimizing the impact of rising programming costs on cable rates."
The Tribune deal also returns a FOX affiliate to Connecticut subscribers and WPHL to subscribers in the New Jersey suburbs of Philadelphia.

People throughout San Diego can make the extra effort at reducing their carbon footprint and keeping their cities "green" on Thursday when the county gives up disposable bags for a day.
San Diego Regional "Day Without a Bag" is an event sponsored by places like the , the City of Encinitas, San Diego Coastkeeper the Surfrider Foundation and more. According to its website, the purpose of the event is to "educate and raise awareness of the need to keep communities, waterways and beaches clean via litter prevention and promote a 'greener' holiday season through reuse."
On Dec. 15, the county is urged to ditch the plastic and paper bags and instead reach for reusable bags. Numerous locations throughout San Diego will be giving away reusable bags that you can use for all different types of shopping and come in handy for the holidays.
"This is a region-wide event to support a habit change that encourages a much wiser use of our resources by reminding shoppers to choose reusable shopping bags over disposables," said Regional Coordinator Jacy Bolden according to a SD Coastkeeper press release. "Reuse is far better than recycling. It prevents waste and helps to aid in overall litter reduction."
According to San Diego Coastkeeper, people in the greater San Diego region use more than 1.7 billion plastic bags each year, which comes out to about 500 bags per person annually. And while paper bags are a nice alternative to plastic, "Day Without A Bag" is all about using reusable bags that won't litter our streets or cause buildup in our landfills.
To help their shoppers remember, several grocers such as Albertsons, Trader Joe's and Vons are providing drawings for $25 gift certificates to those shoppers using a reusable bag in their stores.
According to San Diego Coastkeeper, Bolden said that such promotions are effective, as they have previously caused as much as 40-60 percent decrease in disposable bag usage.
Grocers, retailers, waste haulers, jurisdictions and volunteers will be giving away several thousand reusable shopping bags and providing reward incentives at numerous locations throughout the county. Region-wide grocers and retailers participating on Thursday in La Jolla (click links) include:
- 99 Cent Only Stores
- Albertsons
- Jimbo's…Naturally!
- Target
You can find out more information about the green day by visiting NoBagDaySD.org.

Toy trains at Christmas
Claremore Museum of History offers special display
Salesha Wilken
Staff Writer
A treasured holiday memory for some involves a toy train running around a beautifully lit Christmas tree. For generations, the love of toy trains has been passed down.
The Tulsa Garden Railroad Club is sharing their love of trains at the Claremore Museum of History this holiday season.
The club specializes in G-scale outdoor train displays and by special invitation will be bringing the trains indoors for a limited time.
A display will be in place beginning Dec. 8 from 1 to 5 p.m. prior to the Claremore Christmas Parade.
It will arrive just in time for the Christmas season and will run at the museum until the middle of January.
The event will be open each Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. after the opening weekend.
Admission is free to see the display, but donations will be accepted to continue to fund the development of the museum.
The Rogers County Historical Society is hosting the club at the museum and volunteer Tom Poole thanked the club Thursday night for their participation.
"We want to thank you for your participation," Poole said. "We hope the display will bring people into the museum."
The train display will feature winter or holiday scenes and the sights and sounds of the railroad.
Club representatives describe the display as a "Christmas train wonderland" with something for all ages.
The Historical Society is trying to place an emphasis on the importance of the railroads in the history of Claremore, through the museum.
Once the museum is completed it will feature a railway display, according to Poole.
For more information about the Tulsa Garden Railroad Club is available at www.tulsagardenrailroadclub.org.

Starting role or not, lost season aside, Cowboys rookie WR Dez Bryant has shown enough to this point that you safely can say he has the talent to be one of the best wideouts in the game. He has shown acrobatic receiving skills, excellent hands and a knack for running after the catch with a bit of a violent streak. What will make him a star and a complete receiver comes in learning how to be a pro. The first knock on Bryant is that he still needs to learn the offense. There are times when he lines up in the wrong spot, runs incorrect routes or makes improper adjustments. That's why, early on, you saw the Cowboys basically throwing it to him on short bubble routes and just letting him run with it. His route tree has expanded since then, but mastery of the offense will be a crucial step. The next is learning to be a pro. Bryant fell asleep in team meetings, we hear, and wasn't held accountable by Wade Phillips but has learned quickly that won't fly with Jason Garrett.

Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
Funeral service for Donald W. Moulton, 88, of Enid, will be 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, 2013, at Ladusau-Evans Chapel with Rev. Carrell Still officiating. Burial will follow in Memorial Park Cemetery under the direction of Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home. The family will receive friends from 5-6:30 p.m. today at the funeral home.
As Heaven's Gate opened once more, it welcomed the precious soul of Don on Monday, Feb. 4, 2013.
Don was born Sept. 12, 1924, in Garfield County to Leroy and Mary Devore Moulton.
Don attended school in Enid.
He joined the U.S. Army in 1943, and served until his honorable discharge in 1946. He was stationed in Maine and Massachusetts.
On Oct. 16, 1944, he married Vera Jo Tapp in Kingfisher.
Don worked in the laundry and cleaning business, retiring from Clean Clothes Rental as a plant supervisor.
Don was an active member of Davis Park Christian Church, where he served as a deacon and elder, where he was honored as an elder emeritus. He spent the last five years being a faithful member of Willow Road Christian Church. He was a small man in stature, but served his Lord in a big way by living his faith. His wonderful prayers before our family "feasts" will be greatly missed. He loved old cars, gardening, and "piddling" in his garage.
He is survived by his wife, Vera of the home; three daughters, Geannette (Ron) Graham of Enid, Wynona (Mick) Quirey of Port Lavaca, Texas, and Donita (Daniel) Soles of Enid; eight grandsons, Ty Stricker, Spencer, Dustin, Brad and Richard Soles, and Stockton, Jonalan and Jeb Quirey; eight great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, five brothers and one sister.
Even though we miss his quiet ways and feel the void, we rejoice for his new life and look forward to seeing him again one day.
Memorials may be made to Willow Road Christian Church with Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
For those unable to attend the service, the service will be accessible via the Internet at www.ladusauevans.com.

In the July 26, Times-News, an opinion from Colleen Burke was printed ("They could care less about us"), suggesting that local officials should do a better job of hearing citizen concerns.
To Mrs. Burke, who for decades demonstrated a commitment to youth in the classroom, and who still today exhibits a great love of community, I welcome your input.
However, on the many publicly announced occasions in which the City Council has met to discuss the demolition of Memorial Hospital, I recall only one citizen attending to speak on the issue.
Fewer than half a dozen letters or emails have been received. And only one citizen has asked to meet with me to discuss the demolition; that citizen was not Mrs. Burke.
Many opinions in Mrs. Burke's letter are stated as facts that are inaccurate. On Sept. 12, 2012, Times-News article, "Could take $3.5M to level Memorial," notes that the demolition costs would be in the vicinity of $3.5 million, not the $7 million cited by Mrs. Burke.
The article notes that the borrowing would do exactly as suggested, and include a focus on infrastructure, and would refinance other city debt, thereby saving money, as well as fund fire station roof repairs, water valve/main replacement, and street repairs.
Claims that the hospital should be repurposed, citing an article from 2007, ignore the history of the building between then and now.
The city listed the property for sale. Nobody bid. The city communicated with the Veterans Administration to locate a VA facility on the site. The VA has declined to do so.
The city offered the property to a company for lease. That company was unable to fill the space. In the end, as cited in the Sept. 12, article, "The hospital buildings, at 250,000 square feet, have cost taxpayers an estimated $2.5 million over the past 2 1/2 years."
The city cannot continue to pour millions of taxpayer dollars into a property that is not drawing interest for sale, reuse, or redevelopment.
This reality is overlooked by pie-in-the-sky letter writers who fail to recognize the financial burden of the property, including in the Dec. 9, 2012, opinion piece printed, in which Thomas Marsh refers to the demolition of the hospital as "insane."
Mrs. Burke does ask an important question about environmental impacts of the demolition. In fact, those questions are required components of the demolition and precautions are also required and will be fulfilled in the demolition contract.
Mrs. Burke suggests, however, that there is an ulterior motive and that a developer is behind the scenes. That is also inaccurate, as the city is not coordinating the demolition with any developers.
A Sept. 10, 2012, article spelled out the reality: "The city has received no offers on the hospital building property, which was vacated in November 2009 when WMHS moved into the new Willowbrook Road campus."
That money is much better spent on city streets and the creation of a new plot of buildable land in the city of Cumberland, that could result in new residents and job creation. Responsible use of citizen tax dollars is the plain and simple reason for proceeding with demolition.
My door is always open. My home phone is publicly listed. I accept appointments at City Hall. I maintain open dialogue and access by social media including Facebook and Twitter. I am available by email. And, City Hall operates with a City Council dedicated to transparency.
Had Mrs. Burke utilized any of these means, she might have been better informed and her letter, riddled with inaccuracies and distortions would have been unnecessary.
Instead, she has chosen to hide behind the pen instead of participating in the many open forums she claims necessary.

In the 112th Congress, which takes office in January 2011, Democrats will occupy 53 seats and Republicans will hold 47 seats. Republicans gained and Democrats lost six Senate seats in the November 2010 elections, in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Alabama 2010 U.S. Senate Race

Alaska 2010 U.S. Senate Race
Incumbent: Republican Lisa Murkowski, one complete term, plus two years
Running for reelection
Opponents: On November 17, two weeks after the 2010 elections, incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski was declared the victor of Alaska's U.S. Senate race.
Murkowski, running as an Independent write-in candidate won over Republican party nominee Joe Miller, who was strongly supported by the Tea Party Movement and Sarah Palin. Moderate Republican Sen. Murkowski lost her bid for the Republican nomination to conservative Joe Miller.
Miller is a West Point graduate who won a Bronze Star for combat in the First Gulf War. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1995, and was a U.S. Magistrate Judge.
Independent Sen. Murkowski will caucus with Senate Republicans.
Arizona 2010 U.S. Senate Race
Incumbent: Republican John McCain, four terms
Running for reelection
Opponents: By moving right politically, incumbent Republican Sen. John McCain cruised to easy victory in his bid for a fifth six-year term in the U.S. Senate over 32-year-old Democrat Rodney Glassman, former Tucson vice-mayor and City Council member. Glassman has also worked as part of Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva's Congressional staff.
Arizona last elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate two decades ago.
Arkansas 2010 U.S. Senate Race
Incumbent: Democrat Blanche Lincoln, two terms
Running for reelection
RESULTS: As expected, five-term Republican Rep. John Boozman, a former local school board member, prevailed over two-term incumbent Democrat Blanche Lincoln, to become U.S. senator from Arkansas.
Centrist pro-business Sen. Blanche Lincoln narrowly won the party nomination for the Senate seat she held for twelve years. After a Democratic run-off race, Lincoln eventually won over progressive liberal Lt. Gov. Bill Halter.
California 2010 U.S. Senate Race
Incumbent: Democrat Barbara Boxer, three terms
Running for reelection
RESULTS: After a feisty, no-holds-barred campaign, incumbent Democrat Sen. Barbara Boxer defeated Republican neophyte Carly Fiorina, former Hewlett-Packard CEO for six years before being fired in 2005.
Republican Fiorina, who served as campaign advisor to the 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain, failed to attract a substantial portion of the state's Latino vote. She was also vilified for taking $100 million in compensation for laying off 30,000 employees while Hewlett-Packard CEO.
Democrat Boxer will be serving her fourth six-year term as U.S. senator from blue-state California.
Colorado 2010 U.S. Senate Race
Incumbent: Democrat Michael Bennet, appointed to one-year partial term
Running for election
RESULTS: Incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet very narrowly defeated Republican Ken Buck, Weld County District Attorney, who was supported by the Tea Party movement, and, per ultra-conservative FreedomWorks PAC, opposed "all encroachments on individual freedom, including Obamacare... "
Bennet, an investment banker, is a moderate Democrat who has been a reliable vote for the Obama agenda.
Connecticut 2010 U.S. Senate Race
Incumbent: Democrat Christopher Dodd, five terms
On January 6, 2010, Sen. Dodd announced that he will not seek reelection.
RESULTS: Democrat Richard Blumenthal, State Attorney General since 1991, defeated Republican Linda McMahon, controversial former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, to become blue-state Connecticut's U.S. senator, replacing five-term Democrat Sen. Chris Dodd.
Sen. Robert Menendez, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Chair, said about Republican Lina McMahon "Connecticut Republicans today nominated a corporate CEO of WWE, who under her watch violence was peddled to kids, steroid abuse was rampant... "
Democrat Blumenthal won despite campaign-trail revelation that he "misstated" his military service in Vietnam.
Delaware 2010 U.S. Senate Race Special Election
Incumbent: Democrat Ted Kaufman, appointed to replace Joe Biden, now Vice President
Not running for election
RESULTS: Democrat Chris Coons, Executive of New Castle County (since 2005) which represents about 65% of Delaware's population, easily won over Tea Party extremist Christine O'Donnell.
McDonnell shocked pundits by beating nine-term moderate Republican Rep. Mike Castle.
Per the Washington Post about Democrat Coons "Coons presided over a fiscal crisis that required deep budget cuts - an ordeal that could bolster his appeal with independent voters."
See Profile of Christopher Coons, Delaware U.S. Senate Candidate.
Florida 2010 U.S. Senate Race
Incumbent: Republican George LaMieux appointed to to succeed Sen. Mel Martinez who resigned.
Not running for election
RESULTS: Republican Marco Rubio, former Florida House Speaker, won over Independent Charlie Crist and Democrat Rep. Kendrick Meek to become U.S. senator from Florida.

Georgia 2010 U.S. Senate Race
Incumbent: Republican Johnny Isakson, one term
Running for reelection
RESULTS: Incumbent Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson won reelection for a second term from red-state Georgia over Democrat Michael Thurmond, three-term state Commissioner of Labor since 1998.

The Tribune-Star and Tribstar.com recently asked readers to recall the memory of where they were at the moment they learned of the 9/11 attacks. Here is our first batch of responses:
Send your memories to email@example.com or click here for a form in which to write and send your message.
On 9/11/2001, it was my 21st birthday. My husband and I were camping at Prairie Creek Park. We will never forget the tragedy and the deaths that day. Every year on 9/11 I will never forget. It is now a part of my memory that will never be forgotten.
Kimmie Dycus
Terre Haute
I was enjoying the day off and was shocked to see one of the towers burning on the television. I called a close friend and we both watched in amazement as the plane flew into the second tower. As the news report went crazy about other attacks, the shock set in. We are being attacked on our own soil. Words can't express the feelings that fell over me as I realized what was at that moment a reality. God bless us all, and the fallen.
Mr. Chapman
Terre Haute
The early morning of 09/11 began rather traumatic for me right from the start. My dad had been diagnosed with bladder cancer, and he and I drove over to the VA Hospital in Indianapolis for him to undergo a surgical biopsy procedure.
We had just gotten into the hospital and went to the cafeteria so I could get a cup of coffee, when the first televised report had come across that a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers. The pictures were so devastating. I immediately had tears come to my eyes. As the time went by my dad was taken into surgery and then it came across that the second plane had hit the other second Twin Tower, and then the Pentagon and that a plane had crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.
By this time, since we were in a government facility, we were immediately put under lockdown. No one was allowed in or out of the facility except through the emergency room and we were told they were bringing in the National Guard for security.
This was very upsetting, not only was my father sick, our country was under attack and I was under lockdown. My sister had flown to Texas for a conference and I was not sure when/if she would make it back, and I felt all alone, but I knew I had to be strong for my dad.
In the days to follow I was so proud to be an AMERICAN and of the way our country pulled together in a time of great tragedy.
I am also happy to say my sister made it home, she had to rent a car and drive back, but at least we were back together with our dad.
Kim Alabaugh
I was a junior in high school in a N.Y. boarding school. I remember being in one of the activity rooms where Comedy Central was on. I saw the footage of the first tower on fire and we all laughed thinking it was a joke, being that Comedy Central was in the bottom of the TV screen. I walked back to my dorm to find my old roommate sitting in the hallway crying. When I asked him what was wrong, he told me his mom was in the World Trade Center. I ran to my dorm parents' apartment just in time to see the second plane crash into the second tower. Cell service was nonexistent and land lines were jammed and busy. In all the panic, someone said the Sears Tower had been hit, sending me into a panic since my dad worked there and with no phone service I couldn't call my parents. That's one day I will always remember crystal clear.
Kipp Hoffman
I'd just returned home from taking my daughter to school. She was in fifth grade. I turned on the TV to the Today Show and I saw Katie Couric talking and showing the plane at WTC. She thought it was an accident and I thought so too. So I turned the channel to watch "All in the Family," and when that show was over, I turned back to the Today Show and there was a second plane. A few minutes later they came on with another plane crash and then another. I was scared at this point. I thought these people are everywhere! But nowhere to be found. I started crying, I felt like this was the end for us. A red scrolling bar started at the bottom of the screen and places like federal buildings and schools in our capital city were on lockdown or were letting out. I sat glued to the TV all day watching the news. By 1 p.m., the school called and told me to come get my daughter because she was ill. I went to pick her up, but before I did, our newspaper put out a second copy of the daily paper and I went to pick one up. (A second copy of the paper was not typical for our local newspaper.)
My daughter said that they watched the WTC crash all day. She saw people jumping out of buildings and people running and crying, the buzzing from the lost firefighters. It all made her sick. We sat glued to the TV for the next few days. We started hearing "God Bless The USA" by Lee Greenwood, and lots of interviews. Oh, it was so horrible, I immediately thought of Pearl Harbor when those attacks came. I have never been so scared. I went to my knees. This is the day that the world really changed for me. Things have never been the same since. I am more aware of my surroundings and I go out less frequently.
Cynthia Clarke
I was an OTR driver on my way to a delivery in North Carolina. That previous evening I had driven until around 1 a.m. and was still sleeping when my wife called me about 9 a.m. and asked me if I was watching TV. She then told me and I went inside and watched the news reports.
All that day I tried to keep up on what was going on while at the same time reassuring my family members that I was NOT in New York and was safe.
That next day I went through Norfolk, Virginia, with my next load and saw all of the military people getting to the naval base. The radio station I was listening to kept playing Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" and raised everyone's spirits.
The attacks terrified my two youngest daughters and my wife was left at home trying to reassure them. I can remember my sister being afraid to even go to the airport. I more or less raised her spirits when I told her I refused to be afraid of the terrorists and would NOT let them dictate to me how to live.
David Smith
Lawrenceville, Ill.
I was a senior at Terre Haute South. I was sitting in my journalism class that morning studying for a test I had later that day. Most students were in the middle of taking the ISTEP tests and because of that the class schedule was changed around.
Our teacher had on the Today Show that morning, as she sometimes did. She would ask us to pick a news story and re-write it for Terre Haute or write about something that happened in Terre Haute for a national scale.
Katie Couric said they thought there may have been an explosion possibly by a bomb in the building but at first did not know what caused the explosion. We saw the video live as the second plane flew into the second tower. I had no idea what was really going on.
Our teacher told one of the students to run to the main office and tell the principal. Shortly after that an announcement was made saying school was put on lockdown and that more would be said after ISTEPs were over for the day.
We watched the news all morning watching video from all of the crash sites and President Bush's address to the country. I'll never forget that morning, being in a journalism class and now being a journalist, it was the first "news item" that showed me that it was OK for a journalist to be affected by the story. Because once they saw the second plane, Matt's voice was shaky and he was obviously shaken up by the situation.
Later that year, Mr. Mann, the economics, government and history teacher, announced he wanted to take his class on a trip to San Antonio to visit the Alamo. Most parents were against the idea because they didn't want us to be on a plane. Mr. Mann told the parents "Don't let the terrorists win. Don't let your kids grow up in fear of flying or of being in a public place for fear of a terrorist act. If you do that, they have won. Help me show these kids not to be afraid." And I, along with several of my friends who were in Mr. Mann's class, went to the Alamo and to LBJ's ranch house.
During our graduation the video from that day was played. Saying we were the first class to graduate after the country had changed … and had come together.

Where was I on 9/11?
I had awaken earlier than my wife. I turned on the TV in the family room as I headed to the kitchen for breakfast and immediately saw the result of the first building hit. I don't know the channel I had on, but the reporter said that the plane must have been off track. Shortly after, the second plane hit and the same announcer said something like, "There must be something wrong with the airport tracking signal." Then came the word that it was an attack. My wife and I sat by the TV all day, mesmerized by the events as they happened and wondering what was going to happen in the future.
September 11 is my birthday. There was no celebration on this one.
James Wood
Terre Haute
On 9/11 I was living in Southern California. I was getting ready for work and listening to the news as usual (radio). On hearing the broadcast about the first tower I yelled at my husband to wake up and I turned on the TV. Just as I sat down to watch it the second tower was hit. I grabbed the phone and called my brother (he worked for a congresswoman) at the time. I fell on my knees ant prayed for all those in the buildings. It is one of those moment that the mind and heart will never let you forget.

I came in that day early to work at Columbia House, at 7 a.m. We had been very busy on the phones at that time, due to pre-holiday sales. I worked an hour on mail, then turned on the phones, expecting a deluge of calls, but getting no calls at all. The 8 o'clock people started coming in, and each shift had more outlandish reports of what happened in N.Y. and elsewhere. I finally saw the footage for myself in the break room. I never heard the sound of such silence as the reports were coming in on the cable news channel as I did that day. I heard about the gas prices going way up, but could do nothing about it. After leaving work that evening at 7:30 p.m., I drove to Baesler's to pick up supplies I had planned to get that day. I never saw such a rush for supplies — it was like the people getting their "bread and milk" prior to a snow storm. I finally found some gas at a "less outrageous" cost of about $1.99 a gallon at the Shell on U.S. 41 near ISU.
Afterwards, it took several weeks before we received very many calls at Columbia House. It was as if they had canceled Christmas.

Editor's Note
This summer, the Tribune-Star's Mark Bennett visited New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., sites where the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are now memorialized. He observed the cityscapes and landscapes forever changed by the events of that day and talked with people he encountered there, many of whom witnessed the attacks and their aftermath from close range and had personal ties to its victims.
Three sites ... a shared goal: Travelers will experience 3 distinct environments at 9/11 memorials

A broad plot by al-Qaida terrorists sent hijacked commercial airlines crashing into the World Trade Center towers in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a remote field near Shanksville, Pa., on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. A decade later, most Americans old enough to vote know the basic story and remember where they were on 9/11.
Pilot recalls escorting Air Force One on 9/11
Piloting his F-16 fighter jet on the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, then-Lt. Col. Chris Colbert of the Terre Haute-based 181st Fighter Wing, could see that the shimmering object in the distance was a very, very large aircraft.
Volunteers turn out for 9/11 Day of Service
Building handicapped ramps, pulling weeds along a city park trail and assembling packages for U.S. military personnel were all part of a 9/11 Day of Service on Saturday organized by Terre Haute Ministries.

Walking in the Shadows of 9/11
Second of a three-part series
The latch clicked loudly, and Lt. Col. Robert L. Ditchey pushed open a door inside Corridor 4 of the Pentagon.
He entered an area that resembles an urban alley, but with a roof.
"This is where the final pieces of the aircraft had crashed through," explained Ditchey, Pentagon press officer for the Department of Defense.
Sept. 11, 2001 — A date seared into the minds of Americans
There are events so important in our lives that we remember every detail. Sometimes, these are personal celebrations such as weddings, births and graduations. But other events, sudden and tragic on a national scale, such as the brutal terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11, become defining moments for a generation.
B.J. RILEY: Quieting the roar of the presses …
There are memories branded forever in our minds. They are as clear as if they occurred just yesterday. I will never forget that Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, or the days that followed …
A CHANGED NATION: After 9/11, air travel, privacy, security all took on new rules
A lot has changed in the decade since passenger planes were used as missiles to destroy the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and to damage the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
9/11 Day of Service in Valley: Consolidated 5th-graders swept away with helping others
After the 9/11 tragedy, many saw a spirit of unity emerging across the country as Americans pulled together and helped each other during a dark time in U.S. history.
WHY I SERVE: The soldier
On the wall of his office inside the Myers Technology Building, Chris Pfaff pointed to a map of Afghanistan, a place about as different from the Indiana State University campus as one can imagine.
'ALMOST SURREAL': A decade later, two men who witnessed the attacks look back
The underground Metro train shook noticeably.
Something had happened. William Hanna, a retired U.S. Army colonel living in Virginia, was on board the Metro and could feel the shock.
WHY I SERVE: The firefighter
Big red trucks and blaring sirens always held a special appeal for Jason Kame.
"I always wanted to be a fireman. I was one of those kids that always knew what I wanted to do," he said inside the Terre Haute Fire Department's Headquarters Station at First and Spruce streets.
TEACHING TRAGEDY: Attacks created new chapters for the history books
The 9/11 terrorist attacks permanently changed the daily routine for students in the Vigo County School Corp.
WHY I SERVE: The police officer
Joe Watts heard the calling to wear a police uniform early in life.
"I tell everyone that as far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a state trooper," Watts says.
TEACHING TRAGEDY: 9/11 attacks were a 'historical turning point'
Incoming college freshmen this fall would have been about 8 years old when 9/11 occurred, and college faculty find that with each passing year, students know less and less about the terrorist attacks.
Ralston took part in congressional terrorism study before 9/11
Years before the terrorist attacks in 2001, Terre Haute resident Patrick R. Ralston was part of a national panel that would assess how the U.S. government could assist state and local responders in combating terrorism.
IN GOD WE TRUST: Many sought comfort in prayer, religion after attacks
In times of tragedy, many people turn to prayer to help them begin to cope with myriad emotions.
LIFE & LIBERTY: Americans won't let lives be ruled by fear, prof says
In the post-9/11 world, Americans have been willing to make some concessions in the name of national security, but not many, says a St. Mary-of-the-Woods College faculty member.
Ten years removed, 9/11 attack on NYC remains on minds of many (see VIDEO)
First of a three-part series
A decade later, images from Sept. 11, 2001, remain vivid in the minds of most Americans. Plane crashes. Collapsing skyscrapers. Staggering people covered in dust. Horror. Shock. Confusion. Fear. Heroism.
9/11 Memorial Event to honor those killed in attacks
Late last year, Terri (T.J.) Coonce had a vision for a 9/11 memorial event.
Inspired by an uncle and cousin who had served in Afghanistan, she wanted to honor not only those killed in the terrorist attacks, but also all American service members who have since lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
'Remember those who were heroes that day'
Half-time shows at college football games are normally reserved for some relatively light entertainment and a chance to buy some snacks.

A Sports Network 2003 I-AA Mid-Major All-America selection, Daniels finished second in the PFL and tied for 13th in NCAA I-AA with six interceptions. A First Team All-PFL North Division honoree, Daniels led Valpo with seven pass breakups, while making 48 tackles.

"Good morning, last week I had the opportunity when I was home in Richmond to visit several small business people. Suffice it to say that they remain concerned and are reflecting the kind of message that we are receiving from public polling across the country. Small businesses still feel like we are in a recession. 71 percent of them say that they believe the economy is still in a recession and it's because of the uncertainty in going forward and helping grow their businesses.
"The Speaker talked about some of the things we are going to do to remove that uncertainty in health care and for the tax outlook. The bottom line is, in the House, we continue to try and focus on small business people and how we can get into that mindset so we can grow jobs.. We don't grow them from Washington, we grow them from small businesses. That's what our agenda is about. It's about empowering the small businessmen and women who are the backbone of this economy.
"The President talks a lot about his to-do list in Congress and says he wants to help small businesses. We want to help small businesses too, but we have to first take care of the fact that there is an overly burdensome regulatory scheme affecting small businesses in this country. In fact, the SBA said, as of 2008, regulation costs small businesses $10,000 per employee. And we wonder why it's so difficult for men and women to go into business and to create jobs. That's what we are trying to correct and we say to the President, work with us, so we can get this economy growing again."

I'm a sucker for a good cop movie, and End of Watch is a great one. Had I seen it before its home-video release, it would have made my 2012 year-end list.
One might think that after 123 years, the Oklahoma City Police Department would have a lot of history to share. It does! Now on display from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at City Hall, 200 N. Walker, is just that, with photos, documents and historical items, including a bomb suit and robot from the 1980s, an armored vest from the 1930s and a saddle used by the Mounted Patrol division. Admission is free. Call 297-2391.

She will have to repay that money, and also pay that same amount as a forfeiture to the government.
Randy Travis in critical condition. The country singer suffered a stroke yesterday and was put into surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, according to his publicist.

He remains in intensive care in a Plano, Texas hospital this morning.
Sports: Big hit for Big Papi. Davis Ortiz set a new record for most hits by a designated hitter in a career Wednesday when he smacked a double in the second inning as Boston beat Seattle 11-4.

Giancarlo Stanton's two-run double in the bottom of the first was the big hit for the Marlins.

The Salem News
---- — SALEM — The condominiums at 315 Essex St. were beautiful — cherry wood cabinets, inlaid wood floors and a downtown location in the McIntire Historic District. But they'd been on the market for nine months and weren't selling.
The developer who'd converted the building into condominiums finally called it quits and sold it to local real estate agent Betsy Merry, president of the 3-year-old Merry Fox Realty.
When she put it back on the market this spring, it was an entirely different story.
She and business partner Dan Fox had all six units under agreement in two weeks.
It appears they were helped by a pent-up demand for affordable, quality housing and the desire to take advantage of what a small city like Salem has to offer, real estate agents say.
In fact, there's been something of a surge in demand for condos in the Witch City. In the second quarter of this year, 70 condos were sold in Salem, compared with 61 during the same period last year, according to Multiple Listing Service data.
"An even more impressive statistic is the number of condos that went under agreement during the second quarter of 2012 versus the second quarter of 2011," Fox said.
During April, May and June, 93 condos were under contract in Salem, up from 68 during the same time period one year ago — a 37 percent increase, Fox said. These numbers include condos that were sold, as well as those under agreement but that had not yet closed.
With asking prices of $250,000 to $380,000, and fees of $160 to $235 a month, The McIntire, as the Essex Street condominium building is dubbed, attracted a range of buyers: a young professional who works at a Boston hospital and plans to walk to the train, an airline pilot, a scientist with a teenager. One of the buyers lives in Boston and wanted a second home.
While the market was brisk, prices for condos in Salem were also on the rise this spring. The median price was $220,000 in May, up 2.5 percent from the same month a year ago, according to The Warren Group.
In fact, statewide, the median condo price of $290,000 in May was slightly higher than that for a single-family home, The Warren Group said. This was due in part because of a lack of condos on the market and a number of lower-priced, single-family homes being sold.
"The market as a whole has improved in terms of prices," said Terryanne St. Pierre of Tache Real Estate in Salem. A condo at 35 Flint St. that was on and off the market last year would not sell at $199,000. After a six-month break in which the unit was taken off the market, St. Pierre said the property was listed at $203,500.
"We actually sold it in a week to a cash buyer," she said. Prices are inching higher with a lack of inventory of condos to sell, she said.
So what is going on in Salem to make it attractive to condo buyers?
Merry and Fox said condos are selling well because buyers want to be near the city's cultural attractions, museums and restaurants.
"They want that European lifestyle you are not going to find anywhere else" on the North Shore, said Merry, who lives in the city herself.
Buyers who may be priced out of Boston aren't priced out in Salem, St. Pierre said.
"I think there is a trend to affordable city living," she said.
There may also be a demographic shift at play of people moving to cities, though it's hard to say whether Salem is directly benefiting from this or has simply become an attractive place to live.
According to a Brookings Institute study, for the first time since the 1920s, "the nation's largest metropolitan areas grew faster than their combined suburbs."
While cities are proving attractive, Merry and others say Boston is financially out of reach for many young professionals who want the urban lifestyle.
"People are looking at Salem as an alternative to downtown Boston, Brookline and the Somerville area," said Rinus Oosthoek, executive director of the Salem Chamber of Commerce.
Salem's restaurants, many of which now offer outdoor seating, are proving to be a draw, and amenities like the popular farmers market in Derby Square on Thursdays make living downtown more interesting.
"The farmers market is where the new Salem and old Salem are combined," Oosthoek said.
What is surprising to Oosthoek about the strong Salem condo market is that it defies the conventional wisdom that many young people prefer to rent, so they are not tied down to one place. With its increasingly vibrant downtown and easy access to Boston, he said, the city is appealing to the young, as well as to older, retiring couples moving in from "the boonies."
"You want to be able to walk and bike to the train station and be a part of it," he said.

This time of year, you're not going to be able to get much vitamin D from the sun. Supplements work, but did you know that mushrooms are the only plant based source of vitamin D? KING 5's Jean Enersen shares a tasty way to serve them.
Mushroom and Spinach Salad
2 cups of diced mushrooms (Crimini or use your favorite)
Olive Oil
4 cups of Spinach
Salt & Pepper to season
Optional Condiments:
Diced Scallions
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Diced Hard Boiled Egg
Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil to taste
Heat a small amount of oive oil in a pan and add the diced mushrooms. Saute for 5 minutes turning once. Turn off the heat to the pan and add the spinach. Toss the spinach and mushrooms like a salad until the spinach begins to wilt and then plate and top with your favorite condiments.

Another stretch, (besides stories of painted characters) from my last show Jubilieu was achieved with painting states of being as abstract art. Using texture, shape and color, I finished two large scale pieces. Happy Art Expressions to you this weekend! xxoo Yabette
The Satori Stretch
Yes! Victory is mine! At this very moment, I uploaded a completed image and story painted and written by yours truly. It was edited by writer, Storm Arcana, and read aloud by the talented judy-b!
There are many characters of Jubilieu with stories to finish, but the satisfaction of seeing the first one complete from imagination to entertainment reality is quite satisfying.
They will all be available to hear with a link to online recordings on Sunday for our Jubilieu Artist Reception Event this coming June 22 at Sweet Inspiration.
And even better, come to the reception and hear judy-b read them aloud!
Until then, you can get a preview here.
May the artistic exploratory stretching continue! xxoo Yabette
It was the perfect afternoon…
yesterday in the Castro…
My strange bird brought all the strange birds and we had a hoot! I loved meeting so many new people and talking to the "regulars" there, whom I am starting to recognize every Sunday.
I will be there again next Sunday leading up to the June 22nd Artist Reception Event from 4-7pm with a reading by creative lit artist, judy-b. I love SF. -XXOO Yabette
The Sunday Spawn
Yes, I said spawn. Create. Engender. Yield. Beget. I am feeling the effects of the push as 5 new paintings in oils were born this week in preparation for the June 22nd event that celebrates the arrival of Jubilieu in the Castro. They have been miraculously drying faster than I think they should in the chilly, wet fog of San Francisco June.
As I paint, their stories have been swirling around in my head. They will be available to be heard online as recordings read by voice over talent, producer, and lit artist, judy-b. I am going to produce a coffee table book as well. A Hard back, full color rendition of the Jubilieu characters and stories will be available along with the original oil works.
This is a new stretch for me. I've had thoughts in my head that come from fear trying to hold me back. They are banished in the name of new growth.
So every Sunday leading to the show, I have been painting live out front of this bright establishment (with the perfect afternoon delights for high tea or a caffeine fix.)
Here are a few of the works in progress from the sunny sidewalk of Sweet Inspiration.
Feel free to come over and sit in the window next to me. I love to chat while I work and you will surely love the delectable dining and the lively, creative atmosphere. I have a curated mix of some new works and some from the last show currently in the viewing gallery for your pleasure and purchasing perusal. -xxooYabette
