"This is a recipe given to me by my mother before she passed away. As with anything involving butternut it's a little time intensive but it's well worth it! So creamy and delicious! Garnish with croutons and/or parsley, and serve with garlic bread."

- Melt butter in a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, and stir in the butternut squash cubes, orange juice, and orange zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the squash cubes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour back into the pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot. Whisk in sour cream until smooth, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat over medium-low heat until almost simmering, and serve hot.

NOTE: There should only be the juice of 1 orange, plus the zest of same orange. I'm going to try and change it. Also, I have updated this recipe to use the new Knorr Homestyle Chicken Stock from concentrate--it's amazing! Much better than tinned chicken broth. Another variation I tried out yesterday was to fry up a bit of panchetta or bacon, and then cook the onion in the rendered fat instead of the butter. Then top each bowl with a little bit of the panchetta/bacon. It adds depth to the flavor and makes it positively delectable! Serve this soup with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of creme fraiche and a couple of croutons, or a side of garlic bread. Enjoy! :)

Yummy, yummy, yummy! Changes I made: I roasted the cubes of squash under the broiler, about 10 min, turning halfway through. I also added 2 cloves of garlic to the butter/onion mixture. And, I didn't have an orange, so I subbed in o.j. and no sour cream so I substituted plain Greek yogurt. Will make again! (found 2 lbs peeled, cubed butternut squash at Costco = super easy!)
This is so yummy and easy, we dont like curry and most of the other rec called for it, very good, thank you.

The Associated Press
NORMAN — There are photos of the suspect at the bomb scene, video footage of him dropping a knapsack at the site of one of the blasts, and perhaps most incriminating could be the written words of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev himself during questioning in a Boston hospital. A case with evidence like this may be the toughest challenge a lawyer can face: defending someone accused of an act of terror so horrific a nation cries out for swift, severe punishment.
Attorneys who handle terrorism and other notorious cases say public opinion is stacked against the defense for obvious reasons. Acts of terrorism unleash an outpouring of anger from the public, including potential jurors. In Boston, the circumstances are especially egregious: Three people, including an 8-year-old boy, died in the twin blasts, more than 260 were injured, and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was later fatally shot.
Some lawyers say that in this case, the surveillance evidence and a police shootout make a "he wasn't there" innocence claim untenable — and keeping Tsarnaev out of the execution chamber may itself be a triumph.
"The reality is you just try to save his life," said Thomas A. Durkin, a Chicago lawyer who has defended several terrorism suspects, including Ramzi bin al Shibh, one of the alleged plotters in the 9/11 attacks now being held in Guantanamo.
Durkin said there are several steps the defense can take: Hire top-notch investigators, look for possible psychiatric issues or brain damage and scour for potential vulnerabilities in how the government collected evidence. But he said the biggest hurdles for lawyers, clearly, are the bombings and the ensuing horror.
"It's just an unspeakable crime," Durkin said. "It strikes at the heart of a free society. It strikes fear into everyone. It's just an awful, awful situation — people standing, watching a race one second and having no feet after that. I can't imagine worse evidence."
Frank Rubino, a Miami defense attorney who represented former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega on drug conspiracy charges, agreed it wouldn't make sense to deny the younger Tsarnaev's involvement, but attorneys could try to spare his life by focusing on his age — 19 — and possible coercion by his older brother, Tamerlan, 26, killed Friday in a police shootout.

Recovering Submerged Worlds
The Throne of Adulis: Red Sea Wars on the Eve of Islam
Empires in Collision in Late Antiquity
The Nativist Prophets of Early Islamic Iran: Rural Revolt and Local Zoroastrianism
These three books, each in its different way, deal with the centuries in which a very ancient world suddenly and unexpectedly turned upside down. In Empires in Collision and The Throne of Adulis, Glen Bowersock takes us far to the south of the Greco-Roman Mediterranean—to Yemen, Axum (the capital of the nascent empire of Ethiopia), and to the dangerous waters between the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa, better known to Somali pirates than to classical scholars. Patricia Crone's Nativist Prophets of Early Islamic Iran takes us further east—in a huge sweep of diverse, little-known landscapes from Mesopotamia across the Iranian plateau as far as Central Asia.
Both Bowersock and Crone are supremely accomplished scholars. Each deals with the dramatic sequence of events that preceded and followed the unforeseen emergence of Islam in a corner of the world to which the ancients had paid little or no attention.
Bowersock has long shown how much we can learn about the ancient world by viewing it from its peripheries. Like Sir Ronald Syme, but going further afield than he did, Bowersock has insisted on seeing Rome from its provinces: in the provincial elites of the Greek world; in Roman Arabia; in the strange mutations of Hellenism in non-Greek regions; in the delicious joie de vivre of the mosaics of the late antique Middle East. And every time that Bowersock looks back into the centers of the classical world from his carefully chosen viewing points along its edge, the Greco-Roman world as a whole (center and periphery alike) is made to seem more diverse, more adaptable, more filled with surprises.
The Throne of Adulis shows Bowersock at full bent. In it, he reveals an unimaginably distant world, where the Indian Ocean touched societies caught between equatorial Africa and the deep desert of Arabia. Byzantines knew of these strange lands as sources of their incense, gold, and ivory. Occasionally, even a giraffe from the wide savannahs of East Africa and the Sudan would appear in Constantinople, to be placed in the menagerie of the imperial palace. There the gangly and voracious beast would be fed with leafy branches from the hand of the emperor himself, to symbolize the wide reach of a ruler capable of taming exotic beasts from the far ends of the earth—whether these were giraffes or barbarians.
This is where Bowersock begins—in Adulis (on the modern Gulf of Zula, in Ethiopian Eritrea) and in Axum, a royal capital set back from the coast, in the foothills of the mountains of Ethiopia. He studies a remarkable series of inscriptions. These inscriptions are in three languages—in Greek and in two languages that were outliers from the great Semitic languages of the Middle East: Ge'ez (Ethiopic) and Sabaic. Greek was then still a lingua franca beyond the territories of Rome. Looking beyond these unusual monuments, Bowersock draws on similar inscriptions from both sides of the Red Sea to add a whole new chapter to the history of the ancient world in its last century. He shows how, throughout the sixth century AD, the kingdoms on either side of the Red Sea—the Kingdom of Himyar in southern Arabia and the Ethiopian kingdom of Axum, just across the sea—were locked in conflict, with momentous consequences for their neighbors.
Bowersock also shows how the two great empires of the north came to be embroiled in the conflict. The eastern part of the Roman Empire ("East Rome") and the Sassanian Empire of Persia were driven by competition to reach ever deeper into the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea. Their representatives came no longer for giraffes, but in search of allies and, even, in support of coreligionists. For the Red Sea Wars in the sixth and seventh centuries quickly took on the explosive quality of religious wars. The kingdom of Axum (the future African Zion of Ethiopia) became Christian in around 340. A century later, "suddenly, remarkably, and inexplicably" the kingdom of Himyar adopted Judaism.
The bitter fighting between the two powers became holy wars that pitted Christians against Jews. Each side was as brutal as the other. The memory of this spasm of holy violence was still vivid in the Hijaz in which Muhammad was born in around 570. In this way, "the tumultuous events in sixth-century Arabia may reasonably be called the crucible of Islam." And so Bowersock's excursion to the apparent fringes of the ancient world leads back to the ground zero of the detonation that created the Islamic world of medieval and modern times.
Empires in Collision examines the grand finale of the fateful confrontation between East Rome and the Sassanian, Persian Empire for control of the Middle East. In the 610s and 620s, East Roman and Persian armies marched back and forth from Constantinople and Alexandria to the hills of northern Iraq. Jerusalem itself was sacked in 614. It was, indeed, a mighty collision. Edward Gibbon himself had spoken of this war as having "prepared the revolution of the East, which was speedily accomplished by the arms and religion of the successors of Mahomet."
Bowersock has brought a novel freshness to this grand narrative. He fastens with delight on new pieces of evidence, from each of which he derives conclusions that significantly alter our view of the whole story: "We have finally reached a point at which once-fashionable dogmas have spectacularly dissolved one after another."
It is worthwhile stressing the importance of these discoveries. First Bowersock shows, through a combination of archaeological and textual evidence, that the short-lived Sassanian conquest of the Middle East did not leave the former provinces of East Rome desolate. When their armies arrived (in the early 630s) the Arabs "did not find a shattered civilization and a ruined economy." In fact, they walked into a world as complex and as wealthy as it had ever been, "with its rich traditions of Judaism, Christianity, paganism, and Hellenism."
More remarkable still, Bowersock shows the extent to which, as "believers," the Muslims entered the settled lands of the Middle East not only as conquerors, but as well-informed and, even, well-disposed participants in contemporary debates between Christians, Jews, and pagans. For adherents of these religions had penetrated the desert oases of Arabia, largely as a result of the face-off between Jewish Himyar and Christian Axum in the deep south. In an acute analysis of crucial suras (or chapters) in the Koran, Bowersock shows that Muhammad had followed the war between East Rome and Persia with alert eyes. He had acclaimed the victory of the East Roman Empire over the Persians. For he saw in the mighty collision between a Christian and a Zoroastrian empire a mirror image of his own struggle against polytheism in Arabia.
Furthermore, drawing with generous acknowledgment on the incisive work of a younger scholar—Maria Conterno of Florence—Bowersock shows that the earliest Greek accounts of the Muslim occupation of Jerusalem, in 638, implied that the Muslims appeared to have come as friends rather than as foes. They portrayed the Muslim leader, Umar, as having entered the Holy City, in all sincerity, in the humble dress of a pilgrim anxious to worship at the holy places of fellow monotheists. Only later did Byzantine chroniclers (their attitude toward Islam hardened by centuries of war) dismiss this pious gesture as an act of "satanic hypocrisy."
With these two discoveries alone—quite apart from the formidable, carefully controlled erudition of both books—Bowersock has taken us back to a moment of time when the future of the Middle East still hung in the balance.
For another side of the story we must turn to Patricia Crone. Her book, The Nativist Prophets of Early Islamic Iran, is the story of an immense and mysterious landscape, intermittently rocked, throughout the late antique and early Islamic periods (effectively from around 250 to 850 AD), by detonations of religious fervor sparked by social unrest. The task she sets herself is to trace these upheavals back to their concrete origins in the social and physical landscape of the Iranian plateau. By doing this, she has given a voice to a hitherto silent land, which had been as distant from the classical world as were the kingdoms of Axum and Himyar. The Sassanian Empire has usually been treated as the dark side of the moon in late antique studies. The thrill of this book is that it brings the Iranian world into the mainstream of late antique history. Iran is seen as yet another participant in the religious and intellectual upheavals of the time.
This is not how we had been accustomed to see the Sassanian Empire. It is usually treated as a venerable dinosaur, as an Oriental prelude to the Middle Ages: landlocked, feudal, and largely brain-dead. It has been presented as a place of armored cavalry and castles, dominated by noblemen devoted to war and to the hunt. Its Zoroastrian clergy (content to mumble immemorial prayers) are said to have manned a state church that enforced (largely on Iranians alone) a mindless respect for tradition.
Crone makes plain that this is far from the truth. The Zoroastrianism that we associate with the Sassanian Empire represented only one strand within the great "language family" of Zoroastrian beliefs and practices that stretched from northern Iraq to Central Asia. It was not a state church. It had difficulty enough ensuring the ritual correctness of its own clergy without having to mess with the beliefs of others. Rather, to use the words of Edmund Burke's "Speech for the Conciliation with the Colonies" of 1775, the one maxim of extended empire, "a wise and salutary neglect," worked well for the Sassanian territories.
In Mesopotamia, in particular, we find a world of rich villages and prosperous foothills. In this environment, the great religions of the Middle East thrived side by side under the distant rule of the King of Kings. Altogether, as Crone points out, we are dealing with a landscape
where a multiplicity of religious groups coexisted and argued with each other without a shared authority to decide what they should or should not believe.
The situation in Sassanian Mesopotamia is well enough known. What Crone argues is more daring. She shows that Iran and the eastern territories of the empire contained many "Mesopotamias." These zones of religious dispute arose from internal debate within Zoroastrianism itself. The debates derived their force from a veritable magma of ideas and practices that swirled beneath the surface of the villages perched in great mountain ranges that ringed the Iranian plateau. Altogether, "Iran…was a very different place in antiquity from what it is now." One could add: Iran was already a very different place from how outside observers and even its own rulers wished it to be seen in the centuries immediately before and after the rise of Islam.
Where did this seismic pressure come from? Crone is explicit on this and magnificently concrete. As her title indicates, this book is a tribute to the power of local Zoroastrianism as a contributor to rural revolt, in both the pre-Islamic and the post-Islamic periods. As she presents it, Zoroastrianism as practiced preserved one basic principle: the world was good. It was good because it was suffused with an energy of light that was a direct continuation of the energy of God himself. As Crone puts it with memorable crispness: to Zoroastrians, the light of the sun and of the holy fires that they worshiped was not a symbol—it was a sample. It was a living piece of God. A world permeated with so precious a substance had to be kept pure. The safety of a divine order, fully present in the here and now, was at stake in every aspect of nature and of human society.

February 07, 2011, 12:54 PM — This week I saw two articles that captured the two visions of IT that will dominate the future. Both were interviews with senior IT leaders, one a CIO of a major technology company, the other a senior executive with a leading system integrator. One article depicted a vision of IT as a future of standardized, commodity offerings, while the other portrayed IT as a critical part of every company's business offerings. Two visions of ITs role in stark contrast to one another. Each seems to obviate the other. But is that really true? My take is that both views are true, and the CIO of the future has to push one to make room to achieve the other.
The first article, Cloud Computing: IT as Commodity, is based on an interview with Siki Giunta, vice president of cloud computing and software services at global IT consultancy CSC. The article describes the current Amazon offering as offering computing elements - virtual machines, etc., that require a great deal of resource assembling, system management, security monitoring, and the like. Rather than this approach, Giunta advocates IT leveraging an outside application provider (the article seems to imply it would be a firm like CSC, Giunta's employer) and delivering a service catalog of common applications, e.g., e-mail. With an approach like that, IT manages contracts and user relationships, and constructs a portfolio of offerings from specialist providers who can do a better job at scale than any single IT organization could do on its own. The implication is that IT should get out of the business of running applications on its own and become an integrator of other firms' offerings.
By contrast, the second article, A former "prissy girl" takes on tech, is an interview with Intel's CIO, Diane Bryant. One of her responses to a question portrays a very different perspective on the role of IT:
"I look across Intel's corporate strategy and I can directly tie each one of our pillars to the IT solution that's going to enable it. It's a remarkable time to be in IT. All of a sudden the CIO had better be at the table in the business strategy discussions because they can't launch a strategy without you."
The term I use to describe Bryant's viewpoint is that IT infuses the company's offerings and initiatives. It's not that IT is the offering, it's that the offering can't exist without functionality like capturing transactions and providing analytics, or enabling shared design sessions, or whatever. As I interpret Bryant's remarks, absent IT functionality, Intel can't achieve its business goals. IT is crucial to the future success of the company.

Here's another punch thrown in the ongoing Blu-ray vs HD-DVD format war. Tomorrow at 8 am, Wal-Mart is offering a "secret sale" of a Toshiba HD A2 HD-DVD player for a rock-bottom price of $98.87 (and $15 HD movies…) Best Buy fought back and dropped the price of its identical Toshiba player to $99.00. I hear it sold out online nationwide within five hours. As one tipster told me, "Cheap prices like this will crown the champ." But Hollywood studios think they will anoint the king with their content.
Certainly consumers who've had no intention of dropping a dime for either format DVD player may reconsider now. Plus, more crazy HD-DVD discounts are coming later this holiday season. So I asked some studios in the Blu-ray camp what they think about this deep discounting. "The initial target for high-def discs are not consumers simply seeking the lowest price. After all, the whole appeal here has to do with quality of image," an insider told me. "We're talking about people who've already spent several thousand dollars on an HD flat screen TV and high-end sound system. So if you spend that much and want to upgrade to a high-def disc experience, that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to jump on the cheapest player out there." The Blu-ray camp also questions whether selling at a loss is an HD-DVD "desperate measure" in recognition of the power of the competition which still has the advantage in terms of studios, players, titles and storage capacity. "This seems to be little more than a one-off stunt (and one which has not precipitated much in the way of media coverage thus far). Maybe their next move will be an Abbie Hoffman-esque 'Steal this HD-DVD player'."

The mass shootings that appear to be on the increase have people searching for answers to this apparent wound in today's culture. Vice President Joe Biden was called on to head up a task force to find out how to combat the problem. Things under consideration include gun violence and how to address it, mental health issues in the country and whether the rampant violence on television and in the movies contributes to these events. Also under the spotlight are the violent games that many children are raised on now.
But there are others who say the problem goes much deeper and at its core is the moral decline in today's society and linked to that is the sidelining of the church. A group of pastors is meeting in Loganville this week to address the relevancy of the church in today's society.
"This is in the light of the tragedy in Connecticut," said Bob Farrier, a pastor who recently moved to the area from Florida.
So what do you think? Is the relevancy of the church on the decline and do you think that has any culpability in recent events such as the mass shooting in Connecticut?

In addition to standard model representations, such as transfer function and frequency-response data, the Control System Designer app supports systems with time delays. You can also work with several plant models simultaneously to evaluate your control design for different operating conditions.
Simulink Control Design extends Control System Toolbox by enabling you to tune controllers in Simulink that consist of several SISO loops. You can close SISO loops sequentially, visualize loop interactions, and iteratively tune each loop for best overall performance. Simulink Control Design lets you export the tuned parameters directly to Simulink for further design validation through nonlinear simulation.
When used with Simulink Design Optimization™, the Control System Designer app lets you optimize the control system parameters to enforce time-based and frequency-based performance requirements. When used with Robust Control Toolbox, the app lets you automatically shape open-loop responses using H-infinity algorithms.
Nonlinear Plant Control at Different Operating Points
Design and analyze a controller for different operating points of a nonlinear plant simultaneously.
Control System Toolbox supports established methods for MIMO design, including LQR/LQG and pole-placement algorithms. It also provides tools for designing observers, including Kalman filters.

If it's a public space, shouldn't that mean anyone can use it?
Boston Common officials banned Emerson College's quidditch team last week from practicing or playing games on the common, putting the team's season on the line and leaving them looking for a last-minute set of fields in the city, according to the Boston Globe.
Quidditch, the sport inspired by the one played in the Harry Potter novels, is a seven-on-seven game where players run holding brooms, trying to shoot a deflated volleyball through upright hoops. It's now played at more than 300 schools across the country.
Although the school has since been able to obtain a permit, the controversy remains over whether or not anyone should be able to use the fields without being stonewalled by the city.
What do you think? Was the city being heavy-handed in not allowing the team to practice on the common? Should anyone be allowed to use the Boston Common space?

A conference for women, all about the Word! Speakers unfolded Nehemiah—the story of God's people returned to a broken-down city and called to trust God's Word. We focused on listening to this Word, living in light of it, helping others hear it, worshiping according to it, waiting on the Spirit who inspired it and exalting Jesus at the center of it.
From the creators of The Resolved conference, Anchored is a weekend conference for gathering Christians together for one deliberate purpose, to encourage people to value Jesus Christ above all else, in every dimension of life, as regulated by God's Word.
The Twin Cities Regional Conference of The Gospel Coalition was held May 19-20, 2014. The theme of the gathering was "We Proclaim Him: Expository Preaching & the Gospel." Pastors from all over the region joined us to hear from R W Glenn and Simon Manchester.
Since 2005 Desert Springs Church has held an annual conference weekend with a guest speaker and a focused topic. In 2008 we started giving it a name, Clarus—which is Latin for bright, clear, or radiant. To that end we set aside a full weekend every year for fellowship, singing, prayer, and instruction about God's words and ways. In 2011, Clarus became the SW Regional Conference of The Gospel Coalition.
Sponsored by Acts 29 Network in partnership with Beeson Divinity School and The Gospel Coalition, Engage the South was a gathering of church leaders, those considering church leadership and anyone who has a desire to be a part of church planting in the South, or the world. This one day wave of truth, experience and wisdom from godly, proven leaders was an effective time for many.
New England's REFRESH was a summer conference designed to encourage, challenge, and refresh lay leaders, ministry leaders, and the pastors who care for them. We sought to minister to ministry teams, small group leaders, elder boards, church staff members, ministry leaders, and pastors at this event, which was designed to apply the gospel to the specific challenges of service in the local church

The Jacksonville Fight'n Indians' 2013 football schedule is just about as good as it gets considering that the Tribe must face the likes of Class 3A perennial powers Carthage, Gilmer and Henderson among their non-district encounters, plus the aways-rigorous adventures of 16-4A football which features Whitehouse (Class 4A, No. 6) and John Tyler (Class 4A, No. 10) for starters.
It's generally a boost for a team to be able to open a new season at home and that's exactly what the Indians will be doing this fall when they host Class 3-A's top-ranked outfit, Carthage, on August 30.
The Jacksonville boys will be young and green in most positions this year, so playing the opener in front of the home faithful could serve to take some of the edge off when the Tribesmen take on Carthage.
Jacksonville also commences the 16-4A portion of its schedule at Tomato Bowl this season.
The league lid lifter will take place on the 11th day of October when the Dragons of Nacogdoches come calling.
In addition, the Indians will close the regular season out on Nov. 8 by taking on Corsicana in Jacksonville, which could be huge if the district's playoff representatives are still undecided at that time as it is never wise to write off the Tribe's chances when playing at Tomato Bowl.
Another plus is three of the Tribe's five district tilts are scheduled to be played at home – Jacksonville's other league affair is slated for Oct. 25 when the mighty John Tyler Lions come calling.
Conversely, there is a potentially treacherous portion of the Indians' 2013 docket that is a cause for concern.
Jacksonville will close out non-conference play by visiting Henderson (Sept. 20) and marshall (Sept. 27) in consecutive weeks before enjoying a pre-district bye week.
Although Henderson is expected to be down this year and Marshall was one of East Texas cupcake teams a year ago, neither game should be overlooked.
That's because Henderson is always tough when playing before the Lions' usual rapid sell-out crowd.
As for the Mavericks, Marshall has a brand new coach in Clint Harper and the early reports are that harper and company are working feverishly to return the program to its luster of past years.
Bottom line, Indians can't afford to go into the bye week having suffered a loss to Marshall if they are to enter district play with sufficient momentum.

Editor's note: The following information was posted this week by the Midtown Ponce Security Alliance (MPSA). The MPSA has served the Midtown community since 2003 as a non-profit organization by coordinating neighborhood response to public safety and security issues in order to advance the Midtown way of life. The MPSA achieves this objective primarily by operating a neighborhood security patrol funded by its resident and business members, and community sponsors. See here for more information about becoming a member of the MPSA. The MPSA coverage area includes:
- From Juniper Street to the defunct railroad track just east of Monroe Drive and Home Depot
- From Ponce de Leon Avenue to 10th Street.
- Highlighted in green on the map
- All of Kennesaw Avenue, Penn Avenue, Myrtle Street, are in the service area, along with Glen Iris Drive down to but not including North Avenue
Before leaving home, place your laptop bag and other valuables inside the trunk, and leave the viewable area inside your car clear – that will greatly minimize your chances of falling victim to a smash-and-grab.
We recently reviewed car break-ins in the APD crime stats, and noticed a distinct trend among that category: An inordinate concentration along Tenth Street, but relatively few in the interior of the serivce area. Piedmont Avenue also seems to have a moderate amount of car break-ins, but very few elsewhere in the patrol area. Traditionally car break-ins have been evenly scattered across the service area when looked at over longer periods of three months or more. Bear in mind that we generally isolate the MPSA service area when reviewing stats – car break-ins seem more evenly distributed geographically in the rest of Midtown. And car break-ins comprise a DAY AND NIGHT phenomenon.
The relatively few dots in the deep interior of the service area tells us something very interesting: Midtowners are taking note of the necessity for the Clean Car Campaign. The majority of people who park on Tenth Street are either: Patronizing one of the businesses at Tenth & Piedmont, going to the park, or picking up/dropping off kids at the Childrens School. Most of the reports were taken on evening watch (3 – 11pm) based on a good glance-over. These are the people that would not be getting the word and would be most unaware of highly localized issues like car break-in patterns.
Again, we are glad to see that folks seem to be getting the message about the Clean Car Campaign, but bear in mind that car break-ins are a problem pretty much everywhere. We have posted a map of car break-ins on this page.

An airplane carrying a Kontinental Hockey League team has crashed in Russia, killing 36 of the 37 passengers. (Update at 10:50 a.m.: The death toll is now at least 43).
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl had several former NHL players on its roster as of Aug. 31, including Pavol Demitra, Karel Rachunek, Ruslan Salei, Josef Vasicek and Karlis Skrastins. No former Buffalo Sabres were listed on Wikipedia, while the team Website has been made unavailable.
Lokomotiv, which was on its way to play in Minsk, Belarus, is coached by longtime NHL defenseman Brad McCrimmon.
According to the Associated Press, the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said the Yak-42 plane crashed immediately after leaving an airport near the city of Yaroslavl.
President Dmitry Medvedev, according to the AP, had announced plans to take aging Soviet-built planes out of service starting next year. The Yak-42 has been in service since 1980 and dozens are still in service with Russian and other airlines.

— FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots silenced their "End Zone Militia" on Sunday night, taking the muskets away from the Revolutionary War re-enactors who fire into the air to celebrate every score.
The memory of the Connecticut school shooting was still too fresh for the sight of firearms and the smell of gunpowder.
"It just doesn't show the right respect for those that lost their lives," said Bob Elliott, the group's sergeant. "But we're still here cheering (the Patriots) on."
Two days after 20 children and six adults were shot to death at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., NFL fans gathering in stadiums across the country honored the victims' memory with periods of silence and reflection. Some teams darkened their scoreboards and lowered their flags to half-staff, while others wore helmet decals or black ribbons.
After learning he was the favorite player of one 6-year-old victim, New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz wrote "R.I.P. Jack Pinto," ''Jack Pinto, my hero" and "This one is for you" on his shoes for the game against the Falcons in Atlanta. Cruz said he called the boy's family after hearing he was a Giants fan and was told they planned to bury him in one of Cruz's No. 80 jerseys.
"I don't even know how to put it into words," Cruz said. "There are no words that can describe the type of feeling that you get when a kid idolizes you so much that unfortunately they want to put him in the casket with your jersey on. I can't even explain it."
The Patriots, the closest team to Newtown that played at home on Sunday, wore a helmet sticker with the city seal and a black ribbon on it; the cheerleaders and mascot wore black armbands, and owner Bob Kraft pledged $25,000 to the community, where he also owns a box-making factory. Before the game, the public address announcer asked for silence while 26 flares were sent into the air.

- For the third time in less than a week, New York City subway trains were halted [Tuesday] and thousands of commuters were delayed at the peak of the morning rush, this time because of a fire at the Atlantic Avenue station in Brooklyn that snarled service on the Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 lines as well as 13 trains on the Long Island Rail Road ...
There was a bit of good news recently. After this fire made a mess of the A and the C, service was restored in a matter of weeks, not years as was initially suspected.
And yet:
- Major subway disruptions have occurred with striking regularity throughout the city in the past two months, unleashing a torrent of frustration from riders and elected officials, coming as they have on the heels of the second fare increase in two years ... But transit officials insisted yesterday that the system was better than ever and that they were victims only of higher expectations brought about by their success.
Seems like there are bigger issues looming:
- The recent disruptions have occurred at an especially sensitive time for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the transit agency's parent. The authority's executive director, Katherine N. Lapp, spent yesterday pleading with state lawmakers for $17.2 billion, the amount officials insist is needed over the next five years to prevent the transit network from declining.
Also yesterday, the City Council said it would hold an emergency hearing next week on the state of the subways. "It is clear that this system is in a state of crisis," declared the Council speaker, Gifford Miller, who is running for mayor.
The disruptions have also begun attracting the attention of the authority's board. "I wouldn't want to presuppose that because we've done a good job, people should be happy about it," said Barry L. Feinstein, a board member since 1989. "I don't come from that school."
Mr. Feinstein, the chairman of the board's New York City Transit committee, said that despite $40 billion in upgrades since 1982, "all the difficulties of the system are just enormous," from outmoded signals to unprotected wiring. "Those are things that only can be handled on a slow, deliberate pace, picking the priorities of things that should be done, so that mega-problems don't develop," he said.
Whole story is here.


text: Had heard great reviews, so booked a table of 15 for my birthday on a Saturday night. Got there and the table wasn't ready for 45 minutes after the time we had booked it. Service was awful. Very slow, then they brought the wrong food out and then over charged us. Charged us for drinks we hadn't ordered . Food was nice and great atmosphere! But I would not recommend for a big group and I certainly won't be going back any time soon.

No licenses for liquor stores are on the horizon
By CHRIS HARRIS, CJ Staff Writer
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
Pulaski Countians looking to pick up some bubbly to take home for New Year's Eve will once again have to go out-of-town to do so.
While convenience store beer sales have been plentiful, and local restaurants are starting to get into the alcohol business as well, there's been no sign of liquor stores on the horizon yet.
And, as far as Nick Bradley, Somerset's ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) Administrator knows, there's no timetable for when locals might start seeing them.
However, having stores that are able to sell wine, champagne, vodka, rum, and other harder liquors in a retail setting is unlikely to happen by the end of the year, he said.
"That would be too optimistic," said Bradley. "None of those stores would be turnkey (or with a ready-to-use facility). It would be quite a bit of work for any stores that might get those (licenses)."
That's largely because the state ABC office is tasked with sorting out just which businesses will be awarded the coveted "Retail Liquor Package" license, which is considered a "quota license." That means the state sets a specific number of licenses of that type that can be given out; for Somerset, the selected number was five.
However, 13 different entities have filed notices of intent with the Commonwealth Journal to seek the Retail Liquor Package license, allowing them to sell wine and hard liquor. So the state is busy sorting out those applications currently.
Contributing to the delay is the fact that several other Kentucky cities have held "wet"/"dry" elections this year, or expanded their legal alcohol sales, suggested Bradley.
"There are so many cities going through this right now," he said. "Whenever we get the word from the state as far as any kind of decision (more could be said), but we just don't know much of anything at this point."
Bradley's best guess was that more might be known by the middle of December.
A call to the state ABC office for further clarification was not immediately returned on Friday.
Businesses seeking non-quota licenses — or licenses that don't have a cap on the number than can be given out — have gotten the ball rolling, however. According to Bradley, 14 beer licenses have been given out, including convenience stations and larger grocery stores.
Certain restaurants have been awarded licenses to sell beer and liquor licenses (this is similar to what Burnside already allows for restaurants of a certain seating capacity, and is different from the Retail Liquor Drink licenses, which primarily refer to bars). Mexican restaurants Casa Grande and El Charro have theirs, as does Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q, said Bradley. Ruby Tuesday and Tumbleweed are still waiting for theirs, as is J. Gumbo's downtown, which is "in the situation of figuring out if they had enough seats to qualify" under the guidelines for a Restaurant Drink license.
The Restaurant Drink license allows for the sale of liquor and wine by the drink in restaurants with a seating capacity of 100 and food sales equal to 50 percent of gross receipts. Most casual dining chain restaurants would come under this description.
As to why some restaurants have their licenses now and some are still waiting, Bradley said that factors include the order in which the businesses applied, whether or not they have all their paperwork "squared away," and issues such as lease renewals, whether or not they have coolers and equipment yet, or certain business licenses.
"Some are just a little more turnkey than others, and some have things they still need to work through," said Bradley. "Everything has to be there for the duration of that initial license. (A business) occasionally may have an instance where they need to redo a few things."
Retail Liquor Drink licenses are also limited to a quota of five, though there have been far fewer applicants — only three to file notices of intent. Of those, the only already-existing business to apply, Briar Bowl, has a license, said Bradley.
"It's obviously a much more difficult business," said Bradley, "slower to get that business figured out and started."

---- — TUPPER LAKE — Site testing is underway at the location chosen here for the new municipal emergency services building.
Engineers are collecting soil samples and drilling on the Santa Clara Avenue property for a site evaluation, according to Tupper Lake Mayor Paul Maroun.
"They are there working now, as we speak, doing the testing on the lot to make sure that — once the building is on it — the lot could withstand a worst-case scenario, in the event of an earthquake, for example," he said.
In May, residents of the Village of Tupper Lake voted in a public referendum to allow the municipality to go to bond for $3.2 million for construction of the new combined Fire/Police Station.
The 14,500-square-foot facility would house all village fire and police equipment, allowing first-responders to work from the same resource center.
The village is awaiting word on final funding to balance out the $4.5 million project.
"It provides approximately $1.5 million in grant funds," the mayor said. "And we won't sign any contract until we know the money is there."
The $3.2 million bond would add approximately 34 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value to village tax bills.
The cost is shared with residents of the Town of Tupper Lake via the Tupper Lake Fire Protection District, adding between 18 and 22 cents per $1,000 to the tax bills of those who live in that area.
Bonding would carry a 2 percent interest rate and extend out 30 years.
But the village has not signed any note, and won't, the mayor said, until the grant awards are final.
Some of the funding may come from the Department of Justice, some from the Office of Homeland Security.
"There are probably two or three funding sources. Hueber-Breuer (Construction) has a grant writer working on this. The grants awards should be made by the end of August," Maroun said.
Village officials said in forums held last spring that checks for grant portions of the building likely would not be sent until late September or October.
Designed by Hueber-Breuer, building would then begin in the fall.
"It would give us time to put the shell of the building up by winter. We're hopeful that this grant comes through by then."
The building is designed to Essential Services Building Codes adopted by New York state after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Those codes require reinforced concrete walls and steel framework throughout the building to ensure the emergency center is secure and left standing through an attack or natural disaster.
Soil testing on Santa Clara Avenue is the only portion of the project that has started, Maroun said.
"They found some samples that required some more testing."
Once the village bonds for the low-interest note, annual payments would be, at most, $152,000 for 30 years.
Of that, about $121,000 is for the fire-station portion of the building. The police facility would occupy about 21 percent of the structure.

Just breathe.
And again.
Enjoy the journey. It's your greatest hope.
If you're a young athlete, these really ARE the dog days for your workouts. You're stuck in-between right now. Summer is on the decline, but you still have a few weeks to go before the fall seasons officially begin.
Just breathe.
And trust the process.
Look around you. What do you see?
Other young athletes competing for the same job you want? Or are you grateful because you get to be a part of a sport you love. A team you love to be around.
Keep plugging. Keep refining your skills. Just keep getting lost in what you love to do. And most important, keep reminding yourself WHY you are working so hard this summer.
•You are building strength and endurance
•You are becoming better at your craft
•You are creating good habits
•You are becoming disciplined
•What you are doing today will benefit you years down the road
•You are bonding with your teammates. The summer is a great time to build relationships with your coaches and fellow players.
•And whether you realize it or not, you are winning games, meets and matches in the coming season by what you are doing TODAY.
If you think about anything else as you fight through the dog days, you're going to become frustrated. You're going to resent your neighbors and classmates who aren't working as hard as you.
That's THEIR journey. Just enjoy yours.
Trust the process.
But let me warn you. You'll never "arrive."
There's no such thing as standing still — in athletics or the business world. You're either getting better or you are falling back.
That's why you must trust the process.
Let me share an acting analogy. Those in Hollywood who land the big movies don't fight to "get the part." Instead, they immerse themselves into the role they want to play and soon enough, they BECOME the part.
In other words, they trust the process. They don't look at the end result. They "play present," and with consistency and plenty of deliberate practice, the future meets THEM.
Besides, "getting the part" — or earning a starting job — is really out of your control. That's for the director or coach to decide. Focus on the things you can control right now, with attitude and effort at the top of your list.
Enjoy the journey.
Trust the process.
You're tired. It's hot. Some days you wish you were just like all the other kids.
I get it. I really do.
But you have to remember the reason you aren't like all the other kids is because you've CHOSEN not to be. You've CHOSEN to represent your team, your school and your community.
You've CHOSEN to wear the colors. You've chosen to play a key role as your team works toward a common goal.
If that's you — and I hope it is — experience the pain and do it anyway. Revel in how good it feels with the sweat pouring off your body. Bust through the fatigue by focusing on a cool night in October.
THAT'S when today's reps will really pay off.
Enjoy the journey. It won't last forever.
Trust the process, because all of life IS a process.
Breathe. Then rest for 30 seconds to get your second wind.
And if you get the urge to quit, just remember the advice of my favorite commercial on TV right now:
"One more."
Then trust the process all over again.

Variable frequency drives
The P-Series line of variable frequency drives by Cerus now comes with a redundant drive panel.
Cerus' P-Series line of variable frequency drives (VFDs) now comes with a redundant VFD unit, the Cerus redundant drive panel (RDP). It is designed to provide an economical HVAC motor control solution that maintains full control of an application if the primary drive fails. In the event of a failure, the backup VFD continues to run, using the same control signal as the primary drive. Every precaution has been taken to isolate each drive, thus isolating any problems that could occur and protecting the functionality of the working VFD. For broad applicability, the drives have been designed to support frequencies from 10 to 120 Hz, making the RDP a great solution for systems running over 60 Hz. Cerus P-Series VFDs are available in a range of versions from 1 to 125 hp.

It appears that when you want to get away without really going away, you go to Bartow County.
In this week's regional Readers' Choice survey of staycation destinations, three of the top four vote-getters are Cartersville sites: , and .
And even though are in Cartersville Patch, commenters complained about a couple of the Cartersville sites we left off the list.
So it's only fitting that this week's Readers' Choice for favorite staycation destination is in Cartersville: the Tellus museum.
in Douglasville Patch actually received the most votes, getting 27 percent. But we give equal weight to reviews and ratings of the directory listings, and Sweetwater Creek received none.
Tellus, which finished second in the poll, also finished second to the Booth museum in the number of five-star ratings this week. That combination gave Tellus the win.
"A selection like this means a lot because we wouldn't be doing what we do without the support of the community," said Joe Schulman, the museum's director of marketing. "Thank you to everyone who has visited the museum and let others know about us. We look forward to many years of educating our visitors while at the same time having fun."
Thanks to everyone who voted, rated and commented.
Next week we'll help everyone get ready for summer by tapping into the hottest trend in cold refreshment, frozen yogurt. To be sure your favorite fro-yo place makes it into our Readers' Choice poll, mention it in the comment section of this article by 5 p.m. Sunday.

Monday is Veteran's Day, a day when Americans are encouraged to remember the 22 million veterans who have served the country in peacetime and war.
After serving their country and defending the freedoms Americans are accustomed to, it's heartbreaking to hear what some veterans have come home to after serving in wartime. Many having been spit at, told not to wear their uniforms home for fear of retribution and other malfeasance.
Barry Goodson, who served in Vietnam, spoke of what he went through, as did other veterans before Saturday's Veteran's Day Ceremony before the annual parade at the Ninth Grade Center. He said respect for veterans has picked up since 9/11, but still leaves a lot to be desired.
"During 9/11, veterans and the country united toward a common goal and the respect for the veterans came back," Goodson, who was responsible for getting the Veterans Day Parade in Weatherford started in the late 1990s before the American Legion Post 163 took it over, said. "It was kind of a fad. We have to continue to support our guys serving today so what we went through won't happen again."
Many veterans have sworn the lack of respect shown to vets of both Vietnam and Korea will not happen again. Legion Post 163 Commander Bill Mallory said the post has had trouble getting Korean veterans to speak about the subject or join the Legion because of the bad taste in their mouths.
"They feel forgotten after what happened," Mallory, who served three years in the Navy during the Vietnam era, said.
Part of the lack of respect comes from young people who have no idea where their freedoms come from. Mallory said in the Vietnam era nearly everyone was a veteran because of the draft, which isn't the case anymore.

The FBI said at the time that the disappearance could have been linked to Hoffa's efforts to regain power in the Teamsters and to the mob's influence over the union's pension funds.
Police and the FBI have searched for Hoffa intermittently ever since.
In September 2001, the FBI found DNA that linked Hoffa to a car that agents suspected was used in his disappearance.
In 2004, authorities removed floorboards from a Detroit home to look for traces of blood, as former Teamsters official Frank Sheeran claimed in a biography that he had shot Hoffa. Sheeran died in 2003.
Investigators ruled blood found in the house was not Hoffa's. The FBI has a sample of his DNA from a hair brush.
Two years later, the FBI razed a horse barn in Michigan following what it called "a fairly credible lead."
But the disappearance remains unsolved.
Read more: FBI sources: Hoffa buried in Roseville story not adding up
Urban lore long suggested that Hoffa was buried around the end zone at the former Giants Stadium in New Jersey.
As TruTV puts it, the mystery surrounding Hoffa is not simply a "whodunnit."
"The likely suspects are all known, and their motives are well documented. The question is: Where? What exactly did they do to Jimmy Hoffa, and where did they dispose of his body?"
Read: Jimmy Hoffa's daughter says doubts her father's body will be found in Roseville
But over the years, numerous theories have been floated. In 1987, Joe Franco -- a former Hoffa strong-arm -- and a New York Times reporter published "Hoffa's Man," which Fortune described as "the hair-raising inside story of Jimmy Hoffa."
"Rather than being kidnapped by rival union forces as law enforcement authorities have long speculated, Franco says Hoffa was abducted by two federal agents," Fortune reported. "He thinks they drove Hoffa to a nearby airport, took off in a small plane, and pushed him out over one of the Great Lakes. Franco says he did not tell federal investigators this bizarre, and unverifiable, story because they would not grant him immunity."
Hoffa's son, James P. Hoffa, is the current president of the Teamsters.
-- Roseville police have been at the home in anticipation for Friday's dig.
