Blount County's state legislative delegation praised Gov. Bill Haslam on his first State of the State address and said Tennessee's new chief executive officer will lead in the right direction.
State Sen. Doug Overbey that overall he was impressed by Haslam's grasp on the issues facing the state, with a particular emphasis on Tennessee's current financial constraints.
Overbey said the governor understands that citizens don't want new taxes but instead, they want state government to tighten its fiscal belt.
"Citizens across this state are hurting financially. Therefore, the takeaway is your state government is going to spend less and work harder to address concerns," Overbey said. "I think the Number One concern is jobs."
Overbey said Haslam did a top-to-bottom review of the Department of Economic and Community Development in an effort to make sure it is fulfilling its mission of helping businesses across the state to create jobs. "There's particular emphasis on small business because that is where most folks are employed," he said.
District 20 State Rep. Bob Ramsey said Haslam was very realistic. "He said that the time of sacrifice was not temporary," Ramsey said. "He said he expects that there would be somewhere around 1,100 jobs not filled on the state level. He also wanted a salary increase for state employees."
Ramsey said the governor also was very complimentary about the efforts of the state's teachers. "One of his recurring message was how important education is to the future of Tennessee and how important good teachers are and how he was trying hard to reassure teachers we value their service."
Ramsey said Haslam wants lottery funds to be able to go toward summer college tuition, a move that hasn't been done in the past. The governor's budget also allowed funds for capital maintenance at institutions of higher education, he said.
"All in all, it was a very thorough look at what we needed for the future. Overall I was very encouraged by his presentation and the content," Ramsey said. "It was also encouraging for business. He had several programs for industrial investments in the State of Tennessee, and he regarded tourism as one of our most important focuses,"
District 8 State Rep. Art Swann said he appreciated the tone Haslam set in his state of the state address.
"He talked about how our current financial constraints are not temporary and that this is the new reality and the new normal for government, and we better get used to it," Swann said. "He said the big change in this past election cycle was the change in status quo. None of us were elected to hang on to the old status quo, and citizens expect us to educate our children, encourage our teachers and create more jobs and to do it now."
Swann said Haslam was very concise in what he had to say. "He was very pointed in that he set a tone that is good for all us, Democrats and Republicans both," Swann said. "I think he has proved he's a good leader right out of the box, and I think he's going to work well with the legislature."
In his address, Haslam called upon legislators and other state officials to join him in transforming how government sets priorities and makes choices.
"Ten years from now we will not - and cannot - be doing government the same way we did 20 years ago," Haslam said. "The time is right to go on a rigorous diet that consumes less and exerts more energy."
Last year's state budget totaled $32 billion, and Haslam delivered a $30.2 billion budget proposal to state legislators, a proposal making tough choices with a $1.4 billion budget gap to fill.
The proposal puts money back into the state's Rainy Day Fund, gives state employees a raise and focuses reductions on administrative areas rather than direct services to minimize any impact felt by Tennessee taxpayers.
"State government does a lot of good things," Haslam said. "We have worked hard to try and continue funding many of those things. The reality is that there are a lot of things I would like to do, that each member of the Legislature would like to do, but that we simply cannot afford."
Haslam said every discussion about education should always begin and end with what is best for the child in the classroom.
"In education, we are blessed with the tools to be game-changers for all students," he added. "Better teachers, improved school leadership with great principals, standards of academic excellence, parental involvement and students who are challenged to learn - that can and will happen in Tennessee. If we strive to be more, we will achieve much more."

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — Ten days before Pearl Harbor was bombed, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a proclamation that very soon would represent all that was held dear in America.
The nation didn't know on Nov. 27, 1941, what was ahead of them.
But Congress did realize the importance of what had come before.
That's why members of Congress then passed a joint resolution authorizing the president to designate Dec. 15, 1941, as Bill of Rights Day.
The first 10 amendments became a part of the Constitution of the United States on Dec. 15, 1791.
In his proclamation, Roosevelt wrote:
"It is especially fitting that this anniversary should be remembered and observed by those institutions of a democratic people which owe their very existence to the guarantees of the Bill of Rights: the free schools, the free churches, the labor unions, the religious and educational and civic organizations of all kinds which, without the guarantee of the Bill of Rights, could never have existed; which sicken and disappear whenever, in any country, these rights are curtailed or withdrawn.
"The fifteenth day of December, 1941, is therefore set apart as a day of mobilization for freedom and for human rights, a day of remembrance of the democratic and peaceful action by which these rights were gained, a day of reassessment of their present meaning and their living worth."
We could not say it better than Roosevelt, but today, on the anniversary of the Bill of Rights, we think it only fitting to reprint the First Amendment, which embodies all that is good and meaningful about being an American:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It's a good day for America to reaffirm the principles of the Bill of Rights.

Executive Summary
What Others Are Saying
Honest. Ethical. Principled. Growth-oriented. Solid. You hear it time and time again because Cherry Creek Mortgage Company holds fast to straightforward ideals: Passionate service, honesty and a commitment to our company. It is easy to see why employees, partners and borrowers all agree that Cherry Creek Mortgage Company stands out as a great company that just keeps getting better.
Recent Performance
Cherry Creek Mortgage Company has achieved 320% annual growth based on volume since 1991. Much of the credit can be attributed to an active ownership, talented professionals focused on long-term relationships, conservative underwriting standards and honoring our commitments. Such attributes have led to a Top 25 national ranking in retail originations and a record $3.6 billion in volume in 2012.
Our Team
"When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle will be created in our life, or in the life of another." Helen Keller
The Cherry Creek Mortgage Company team is a collection of individuals who understand the greatness that transpires when everyone does their best. Honor and integrity are absolutely essential. They demand everyone's personal and professional best. It is in this spirit that our team members pledge their best in an effort to create something great in the lives of others.
Executive Summary
Cherry Creek Mortgage Company's operations consist of both centralized and decentralized groups focused on serving our borrowers, corporate colleagues and capital markets. Corporate centralized functions include: loan underwriting, closing, post closing and auditing, quality control and assurance, finance and accounting, secondary marketing, information systems and technology, marketing solutions, human resources and general corporate services.
Processing, Underwriting and Closing
CCMC has sought to balance our underwriting agreement philosophy between the need for loan production and our desire to produce quality loans for delivery to the secondary mortgage market. Our staff is highly qualified and trained, and we are active users of automated underwriting technologies. Processing is generally a decentralized function within the company. Processors work closely with the Loan Officers and borrowers to ensure that a loan is presented well for underwriting and to ensure a smooth loan closing. CCMC offers a centralized processing platform to Loan Officers as an outsourced option for processing their loan applications. Loan closings are generally handled by our corporate office and can accommodate electronic document delivery.
Post Closing and Auditing, Quality Control and Assurance
Loan delivery, whether to a government agency or private investor, is handled by our Post Closing department. This group works closely with our Capital Markets team to deliver loans sold in pools, bulk sales and individually.
In addition, the processes, policies and procedures behind our loan delivery functions seek to mitigate credit and property risk, documentation errors and fraud. CCMC works diligently to eliminate loan problems before they surface and is committed to a rigorous post closing quality control program, managed by our Quality Assurance Department.
Corporate general services, such as facilities management, mail room operations and recordkeeping are also handled within this group.
Finance, Accounting and HR
This group is responsible for the finance, accounting, and HR functions for the entire company. Included are the following activities: loan funding and warehouse line management, interim loan servicing, loan purchase and reconciliation, accounts payable, tax reporting, and preparation of all internal and external financial statements, including warehouse covenant compliance reporting. Accounting is done at both a corporate and branch level. In addition, the human resource functions within this department include payroll administration, employee benefit administration, and new employee enrollment. Cherry Creek Mortgage Company funds its mortgage production with multiple warehouse lines of credit on a short-term basis prior to selling the loan into the secondary mortgage market.
Capital Market and Risk Management
As a full-service mortgage banking company, Cherry Creek Mortgage Company works with the top institutional buyers of closed loans including large financial institutions, private mortgage conduits and government agencies. Loans are sold using strategies that are developed through best execution models which analyze multiple loan sale alternatives. CCMC's risk management utilizes traditional hedging strategies to manage the firm's exposure to interest rate movements and mitigate interest rate risk.
Information Systems and Technology
In an effort to improve CCMC's cost structure while improving services provided to our internal colleagues and end borrowers, CCMC has aggressively enhanced its information systems and technology. This group oversees the running of our corporate networks, intranet site, internet sites, web-based pipeline management tools, automated reporting tools, client relationship management (CRM) software, point of sale and loan closing software and corporate databases.
In late 2008, CCMC deployed new enterprise information system and loan origination software in a strategic partnership with Blueberry Systems. The operating system, Relay™, provides flexibility, scalability, and a universal data model that meet the needs of our growing company.
Marketing Solutions
At Cherry Creek Mortgage Company, our overriding goal is to consistently bring value to our customers, business partners, loan officers and the management team. Changes in today's business environment have raised the standard for success and provide an opportunity to differentiate CCMC from competitors, not only through loan products and services but also through unique and efficient personal communications. Beginning with intensive research and analysis of marketing best practices, we have developed and continue to enhance an innovative CRM platform called ClientKeeper. Building on this foundation, CCMC enables the integration of partner and customer contact data with loan information for the timely and automated management of transactions. With ClientKeeper, it is easy to create a business plan and track results routinely through daily activities. Through this innovation, CCMC produces and supports one-to-one and one-to many marketing solutions that are both timely and event-driven. In addition, ClientKeeper allows for the integration of other related applications such as CCMC's loan origination system and can elicit and store client and partner suggestions and feedback. This is all corporately supported to create added value for our customers and business partners and a strong competitive edge for our internal colleagues.
Reverse Mortgage
CCMC's reverse mortgage division, 1st Reverse Mortgage USA®,is dedicated to serving the business professionals and senior homeowners in our communities. The mission is first and foremost to educate those interested in reverse mortgage solutions. All of our borrowers make an informed decision on what's best for them through our customer education process. This approach has earned the division the Reverse Mortgage Lender of the Year award from a large investor of reverse mortgages and the Colorado Better Business Bureau's highest honor, the Gold Star Award of Excellence. What separates CCMC's reverse mortgage lenders is knowledge, experience and attention to the detail that makes the process simple and the program easy to understand. 1st Reverse Mortgage USA® is located in Lakewood, Colorado and has direct endorsement authority from HUD to originate, process, underwrite and close reverse mortgages. It has been a top 100 reverse mortgage lender in the nation for the past few years.

What differentiates the series from any other perhaps, is the seamless mix of intimate behind-the-scenes stories from Broadway's biggest stars — prompted by the encyclopedic-minded Rudetsky's probing, funny, revealing questions — and their stellar singing of unique repertoire."
The lineup follows:
Joanna Gleason
Sutton Foster
Audra McDonald

Marilyn Maye

- " unlike some comments suggest, the hostel is not just close to the beach, it's basically ON the beach and you hear the waves in the rooms and see the ocean from the balkony. it's very clean and basic. walls are very thin (seems to be the rule in penang). transportation is easy (bus 101 to georgetown/national park is very frequent). the town itself is absolutely lame (except for the night market). also, don't expect a nice tropical sea, it reminded me more of an industrial port in the baltic sea!

Although this item looks really cute, the quality could not be lower in my opinion. I didn't realize they could make furniture out of such light, unsturdy materials. I bought it for toy storage in our playroom, but after putting it together (There were also holes missing for the screws and several that were misaligned, but it didn't matter, because the material is so soft, you can screw into it easily anywhere- I see that as not a good thing) there's no way I would feel safe about leaving it in the playroom. If a child were to climb on it, it would easily collapse and endanger them. While putting it together, I did see a sticker underneath the top that warned of "no climbing, sitting or standing" on the piece. Now we know why. The baskets come apart and unfolded- you actually have to screw them together and the bottom on them. They also feel like they could break at any moment. We're going to try and return the one we put together and definitely return the one we didn't open. Very disappointing.
This item looks really nice in the picture on Overstock.com, however, in real life it definitely looks cheaper than advertised. I am still using it, although I am not thrilled with how the wicker looks and feels plastic. The baskets are very light weight and fall out of the unit if pulled too hard. I'd give this a totally average rating. I've ordered other stuff from Overstock and have been happier.
I guess I should pay more attn to the measurement in the description. I thought it was a good size for the deal. However, when I received it and put it together. It litterally looks like miniture funiture that you would buy for your toddler to play with. I guess later on it will be fine for storing toys for my 3 year old. I am not happy with this product. and im usually happy with things from overstock.
Bought this for my sons cloths but don't think its big enough or strong enough to handle the job. its more like a small bench not strong enough to sit on u can put in the living room. The quality is too poor and the material used is too weak.
I was disappointed when the product was delivered. It is very small and I cannot store what I thought in the cabinet
I really like this piece for its intended use...makeup and jewelry...light. It's not very sturdy, but I don't need it to be. It came in a million pieces, and took about 1.5 hours to assemble. Some of the pieces cracked slightly when I screwed them together tightly. I'm not impressed with the quality, but it still works just fine.
Very cheep products. Holes not where they should be, wood cracks when putting in screws. Overall I got it together and it'll do what I need, but very disappointed.
This item was much smaller than I realized. Even then I thought, ok, I'll just work with it. Assembly instructions were not clear, then when I got to the baskets, the pieces were not cut to fit, it just became more and more problematic to put it together so I returned it. Overstock credited me immediately for another purchase, thank you!!
When I bought this, I was expecting it to be bigger than what it is, but it does fit the purpose, for what I wanted. I do wish the baskets would have been a little better quality, but they are not horrible.
I am not at all impressed with this particular piece of furniture. Its made of cheep material and is not very sturdy at all.

Sharon Osbourne took the playground to the airwaves, insulting Britain's Got Talent wonder Susan Boyle, saying the singer had been hit with the "ugly stick" during a recent interview with Opie & Anthony. Several subsequent compliments were quickly washed away with more insults about the singers looks. Perhaps Susan should retaliate with another playground fave: sticks and stones...
Sharon Osbourne has apologized for poking fun at Susan Boyle's looks on a radio show last week.
A little over an hour after Kelly Osbourne defended herself against a Twitter user who appeared to take on the "Dancing With the Stars" contestant for her mother's Susan Boyle slam, Sharon took to her own Twitter page to apologize for her remarks.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Wild & Wicked: Hot Shots Of The Fiery Sharon Osbourne
"Susan Boyle is a lovely gracious woman and I took advantage of that by poking fun at her," Sharon wrote of previously suggesting that Susan looked "like a slapped a**" and a "hairy a**hole" on "The Opie & Anthony Show" on Sirius Satellite Radio.
SuBo, who rose to fame earlier this year after performing "I Dreamed A Dream" on "Britain's Got Talent," was in Los Angeles earlier this week to perform on "Dancing With the Stars." When she arrived at the airport, she was asked what she thought of Sharon and Susan had nothing but nice words for the rock 'n' roll matriarch.
"She's very nice, very nice lady," according to a video posted by Mr. Paparazzi.
Sharon added in her apology that her comments were unfair.
"I would never want to be responsible for hurting Susan and I must apologize for getting a cheap laugh at her expense," she wrote.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The 'Fierce' Miss Kelly Osbourne
Sharon's comments were posted on Tuesday night, about an hour and a half after daughter Kelly wrote on her own account to one user, "why would you punish me for something my mum said that make you the sickest one of all it has nothing to do with me. Grow up!"

On John Paul Stevens' final day on the bench as a member of the Supreme Court, he and his fellow justices handed down four rulings, including a major decision on gun restrictions. By a 5-to-4 vote in McDonald vs. Chicago, the court held that the right to own a firearm for self-defense is "fundamental from an American perspective [and] applies equally to the federal government and the states," effectively curbing municipalities from enacting their own stronger laws. What will the ruling mean for gun ownership in the United States?

A region-wide manhunt for a suspect in a multi-state crime spree that included an alleged murder in Mount Airy, N.C., and several area robberies, came to a close early Saturday morning when troopers of the Virginia State Police, U.S. Marshal Service and Bland County Sheriff's Office arrested Joshua Robert Berry, 28, at a manufactured home in Rocky Gap. Sgt. Michael T. Conroy of the Virginia State Police said that Berry was arrested "without incident," and was awaiting transport to the New River Regional Jail in Pulaski, Va., later this morning. In addition to the U.S. Marshals and Bland authorities, Conroy also expressed thanks to the law enforcement officers of Mercer County — the state police and sheriff's deputies — who aided in the apprehension. His alleged accomplice, Sarah Lynn Looney, 24, of Bluefield, remains in custody at the Southwest Regional Jail in Tazewell, Va. For more on this story and other news, see Sunday's Daily Telegraph.

One very handy search engine/program is Everything Search. Its very handy to track down files on you hard drive if you can remember part of their filename. And it's very very lightweight and fast at indexing the files on the harddrive.
When you want to search for text within files, I've found Windows Desktop Search is really very fast and comprehensive - especially if you pair it up with some good IFilter plugins to let it look within pdf's and other popular file types.
I have yet to find a better desktop search engine than this.
It should work on Windows 7, I loved using it on Windows XP, since it searches directly and updates your query with each character you type.
Too be honest performs perfectly well and also searches within documents (.doc/.pdf etc) and emails. It rarely happens that I can't find what I need using the standard search function.
A bigger problem would be that there's no "PageRank" on your desktop, so you have to know some details about the document your finding. But I think this goes for all desktop search programs.

Early Intervention for Reading Difficulties
The Interactive Strategies Approach
The Interactive Strategies Approach
Donna M. Scanlon, Kimberly L. Anderson, and Joan M. Sweeney
Free copies available for adoption consideration
This book presents a research-supported framework for early literacy instruction that aligns with multi-tiered response-to-intervention (RTI)models. The book focuses on giving teachers a better understanding of literacy development and how to effectively support children as they begin to read and write. The authors' interactive strategies approach is designed around essential instructional goals related both to learning to identify words and to comprehending text. Detailed guidance is provided on ways to target these goals with K–2 students at risk for reading difficulties. Assessment and instructional strategies for whole-class, small-group, and one-to-one settings are discussed in depth. Numerous reproducible forms for documenting student learning are included.

The exposure time for the image above was 9 minutes at f/8 — shooting 4 nights before the full moon required an extra stop of exposure that was gained by using ISO 200 instead of the more typical full moon exposure of 6-8 minutes at f/8, ISO 100. Two RAW conversions of the same file were combined for the final image — one at 4500K for a neutral to warm foreground, and a second version using a virtual copy in Lightroom at 3450K for a cooler, deeper blue sky. The warm and cool conversions were combined in Photoshop using Layer Masks.
Troy Paiva and I cover a lot of ground during the afternoon sessions of our night photography field workshop. Some of the most popular topics and most asked questions have been addressed on this blog — below is a list of a 11 articles of interest to night photographers:
- Processing Night Photography Shot Under Mixed Lighting — getting your color balance right is an important part of post-processing night photographs. Here's an example of how I adjusted a RAW file in Lightroom using the HSL panel.
- Lightroom Tone Curves — sometimes the Fill Light or Shadow/Highlight tools are not enough. Lightroom Tone Curves are a quick and powerful tool for adjusting the amount of shadow detail in your night photos.
- Calculating Exposure & Full Moon Schedule — when does the moon rise relative to the sunset, and how much light do you need for night photography?
- Night photography: Digital and/or film — shooting with two camera setups for increased productivity and longer star trails. Using film results as a guideline for post-processing your digital night photographs.
- Color temperature, and light painting for dimensionality — understanding how to utilize the blend of color temperature in your camera, and the color temperature of your light source. Using oblique angles to create a more 3D look when light painting.
- Night Photography Lexicon: Part I, Part II, Part III — photographic influences, and abandoned places night photography's (APNP) place in the realm of conceptual art.
- Digital night photography: Sky color secrets — post-processing tips for punchier, deeper blue skies.
- Digital night photography: Exposure balance – how to read your histogram for night photography (aka "Expose to the Middle").
- Flashlight: Everybody's got a little light under the moon — one of the most asked questions about light painting is "what kind of flashlight should I buy?"
- Canon 5D wide angle night photography — using the Olympus Zuiko 21mm lens on a Canon digital SLR for night photography because it's small, sharp, and easy to focus at night. Contains useful information about focus scale calibration.
- 18mm prime: Finding compositions in the dark — follow the moonlight to find your compositions, keep the ISO low, and use test shots to assess your framing and exposure.

Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind........
13) Guess those commercials will never end now; Peyton Manning just bought 21 Papa John's pizza places in the Denver area; I'm not sure I could afford to buy 21 pizzas, much less buildings. Must be nice.
12) Pro Football Focus, an excellent website, has a cool stat where they track "Ball in Air" passing stats; Eli Manning leads with 1,374 yards (196.3/game); what it is simply passing yardage minus yards after catch. West Coast Offense QB's would fare very poorly in this category.
11) Mets moved their AAA farm team from Buffalo to Las Vegas, another head-scratcher, unless they have no plans to actually bring a player up from AAA. Their AA team is in Binghamton, so maybe that's where the quick call-ups will come from.
10) In 2005, Game 1 of the White Sox-Astros World Series drew a 9.5 rating, competing against college football on a night where traditionally less people watch TV. Game 1 this year, on a Wednesday, competing against nothing but an NBA exhibition game on NBAtv, drew a 7.6 rating. Not good.
9) Nine of 12 ACC basketball coaches have had their jobs for three years or less; Coach K, Roy Williams and Leonard Hamilton long-timers.
8) Long Beach State is picked #1 in the Big West hoop rankings, last time for a long time that someone other than San Diego State (joining league next year) will be the Big West's top pick.
7) Atlantic-10 will have 16 basketball teams this winter, confusing more people everywhere; league loses Temple (Big East), Charlotte (C-USA) next year, so they'll be back to 14 teams.
6) Speaking of which, the Big East has 15 basketball teams this year, but loses Syracuse-Pitt-Notre Dame after this season, while adding teams from all over. I actually have no idea how many teams (16?) they'll have next season. Big East adds Temple-UCF-Memphis-SMU, so I guess it'll be 16, unless I'm forgetting someone. Boise State, San Diego State are just in league for football.
5) ESPN.com reports that support staff for Florida State's football program does 84 hours of laundry a week. That's 12 hours a day, every day.
4) Big Dozen averaged 12,868 fans per basketball game LY, 1,300+ more per game than any other college league in America.
3) How would today's NFL be different if Archie Manning hadn't strong-armed his youngest son away from playing for the Chargers, who drafted him, but then traded him to the Giants?
2) Its very possible the Tigers are going to lose the World Series because Prince Fielder, whose dad also played in the major leagues, doesn't know how to slide. How is that possible?
1) I need to know more about the stock market, it interests me but I'm stupid about it. Riddle me this; Apple has to be making a fortune with these new IPhones; they sold almost 27M of them, but because their quarterly profits will not meet previous expectations, price of Apple Stock has fallen 100+ points in the last month.
But they're still making a lot of money right? Someday I'll figure all this out.

HOUSTON -- We started our Thursday with a few sprinkles and overcast skies, but things will start to clear up later in the day, said KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Chita Johnson.
Much of the Houston area was in the low-50s in the early morning hours. This afternoon we'll top out around 65 degrees under partly cloudy skies.
"Looking at the extended seven-day forecast we go from 60s and 70s today and tomorrow, and then we start to climb," said Johnson. "By Saturday afternoon our daytime temperatures will be back in the upper-70s."
On Sunday we'll hit 80 degrees as a slight chance for rain returns.
Our temperatures will stay warm through next week with a chance of scattered showers through at least Wednesday.

About Our Church
Independent Presbyterian Church was founded in 1915. In that year a group of members from South Highland Presbyterian Church, a congregation of the Southern Presbyterian Church, withdrew to form a new church. This group was dedicated to the proclamation of the gospel in Birmingham and a ministry of community service.
During the next seven years, under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, this new congregation worshipped in Temple Emanu-El and also held evening services in the Lyric Theater. In those years, the church was among the first social service agencies to initiate programs for community services in public health, child welfare and legal aid.
In 1922, the congregation established the Children's Fresh Air Farm on Shades Mountain in the Bluff Park area.
The sanctuary was completed in 1926, representative of the English Perpendicular Gothic style and is topped by a French style spire. The striking stained glass windows were executed by the D'Ascenzo Studio of Philadelphia and the Connick Studio in Boston.
The original organ was built in 1925 by the E. M. Skinner Company. It was rebuilt and enlarged in 1969 by the Aeolian-Skinner Company, bringing its size to 75 ranks. In 1974 an antiphonal organ was installed in the rear gallery by the M. P. Moller Company. In 2012, a new Dobson Pipe Organ was installed and dedicated: The Joseph W. Schreiber Memorial organ. The 82-rank organ is a spectacular symphonic instrument of original design that will serve the worship and music of the church and the Birmingham community for many generations.
Independent Presbyterian Church's beautiful building is a fitting setting for its extensive fine arts program. With the 1964 arrival of Joseph W. Schreiber as Director of Music came the establishment of an annual series of organ recitals in November. In the forty-eight years since, programs have been presented by the most celebrated musicians of the day, including E. Power Biggs, Maurice and Madeleine Duruflé, and Jean Langlais. The church's annual Religious Arts Festival, established in 1972 and held in February, presents lectures and programs devoted to the visual and performing arts and their intersection with Christian faith and life.
In 1992, a devastating fire destroyed many of the church buildings except the sanctuary. New construction over the next two years resulted in new buildings for educational and other program ministries.
Independent Presbyterian Church is now a congregation of 2,200 members and continues to support ministries dedicated to the glory of God, including excellence in worship, music and fine arts, child and adult education, congregational care and community and world missions.

Robert Xavier Rodriguez combines cello music on new recording
The latest release of Robert Xavier Rodriguez on Albany Records spans several years, and includes all the cello and piano works, plus a work for solo cello.
"It's wonderful to have quality recordings out, you can show what a piece is supposed to sound like. It is, of course, always great to have live performances, but I hope recordings will help generate more live performances of my music," says Rodriguez.
The city is starting a three-year project along Woodlawn Lake Park to address flooding and create safer routes for pedestrians and cyclists.
The Woodlawn and Jefferson Neighborhoods are especially prone to flooding, and the potential for a repeat of flood events like 1998 and 2002 have residents like Henrietta Lagrange concerned.
"I live right in front, so I have mega-pictures," Lagrange said in reference to previous flooding. "I'm there, sometimes, sleepless nights trying to see how high the water is going to get."
Mark Rogers leads band and choruses this Sunday
When the Heart of Texas Concert Band (HOTCB) performs this weekend, they will add an element for the very first time in the ensemble's history: a choir. Band and choir works are more rare than orchestral accompaniment, but Mark Rogers has done some searching and arranging.
"Nancy Oehlert approached me about collaborating with the Encore Youth Chorus, and I thought it was a natural fit, and immediately thought of the holidays," says conductor Mark Rogers.
The Air Force is now investigating 28 basic training instructors for improper relationships and abuse of power involving 54 alleged victims from Lackland Air Force Base.
The latest Article 32 hearing marks the first time an instructor has been charged with assault and battery against male trainees.
Staff Sgt. Ryan Deraas is charged with pursuing sexual relationships with five female trainees in a brother flight, and with maltreatment and assault and battery of seven male trainees in his own flight.
Governor Rick Perry announced that he's backing a tougher state law against abortion. Perry is pushing for a so-called "fetal pain" law to be passed in the upcoming legislative session.
Joined by state Senator-elect Donna Campbell (R), Perry called for the new Texas law that would tighten the state's restrictions on abortions by banning abortion after 20 weeks, which is when Perry said a fetus can feel pain.
While downtown businesses are currently in a spirited battle to win Mayor Julián Castro's Light Up Downtown holiday light contest, the Hilton Palacio del Rio seems to have risen above the challenge.
On the 12th floor of a rather plainly shaped Hilton hotel, the Director of Property Operations, Russell Hendricks, pulls back the drapes to open the balcony door where two light fixtures cradle a colored light bulb.
Although San Antonio isn't directly a part of drilling and extraction activities of the Eagle Ford Shale, it is one of the many communities benefiting from the injection of economic power.
According to a new report by the San Antonio Economic Foundation, road damage caused by trucks traveling to and from the Eagle Ford Shale drilling sites is a big challenge for Bexar County and the City of San Antonio. The report recommends infrastructure planning during the next legislative session.
Tom Dooling leads classical and traditional favorites
Join First Presbyterian Church in the sanctuary for their last mini-concert of the annual "Midday Noel," called Singing the Season. The First Presbyterian Choir Chamber Singers will present a concert of Christmas music from around the world.
Voci di Sorelle sings at UIW Chapel this Sunday!
Holiday music is a tradition for many different kinds of people, crossing race, faith and style lines. Sounds of the season vary with groups, but are also a tradition for many directors and ensembles.
"There is a lot of really good repertoire out there for this time of the year, and if it is not for women's voices, we make it that way!"
The plan to connect San Antonio's Missions from the Alamo to Mission Espada has been ongoing since the mid-1990's. This portion of the project--called package 4 and 5--will repair streets and add pedestrian and bike routes along Mission Road to Roosevelt Avenue.

The Flight of the Syria Hawks
His decision to arm Syrian rebels was a passive-aggressive one.
President Obama can't outrun Syria any longer.
Actually he can't outrun the hawks – some from within his own administration – prodding him toward the bitter bloodbath going on in a lawless country ruled by a ruthless tyrant. So reluctantly, he let it be known we would arm the rebels. He let an aide, Benjamin Rhodes, break the news, as if to say he didn't want his own hands stained with blood.
Poor Obama. The man never bragged about being a "war president," yet here he is in Dogpatch again, with a sly push from Bill Clinton, who joined the Syria chorus a few days ago.
This is a passive-aggressive decision on Obama's part, aimed at appeasing foreign policy critics who have not been silenced by our failures in the 21st century. They are holding the president to his "red line," meaning chemical weapons have entered the fray in Syria. To his credit, he is not feigning enthusiasm at this latest adventure abroad. Those inside his foreign policy shop who favor arming rebels may include a handful of women advisers, chief among them Samantha Power and Susan Rice. Another woman who served him at State, Anne-Marie Slaughter, hints darkly at a total "Middle East War" on the horizon, with barriers and borders broken down.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
Like we really need to get involved. Like the United States has ever made anything better with military intervention in the Middle East (unless you count Libya). Even the first Gulf War had deadly consequences, for it radicalized bin Laden and the jihadist movement against the U.S. Like Sen. John McCain, a two-time loser in his presidential quest, should be considered a serious voice in foreign policy. The son and grandson of admirals, the former Vietnam War prisoner of war never saw a fight he didn't like.
Blasphemy though it is: Iraqis would probably say life under Saddam Hussein was better back then than now, years after the American "surge" and after the shooting supposedly stopped between the Sunnis and the Shias. While we wrecked everything from the infrastructure to the police force to the antiquities in their country, the civilian death toll soared to more than 100,000.
Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize, yet he pursued victory in Afghanistan as "his" war to win. There is no such thing as winning a war in tribal Afghanistan, as the British and the Soviets demonstrated not so long ago. Planning the Osama bin Laden kill vindicated Obama as commander-in-chief. Still, we are likely to leave a shambles behind in Afghanistan, especially for the schooling and safety of women and girls. Obama is searching for a graceful exit from the longest war in U.S. history – good luck with that.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Middle East.]
Being a bright learner, Obama would like to sit the Syria conflict out, as the choice between the Assad government and the rebels is not necessarily a pretty one. Case in point: the Muslim Brotherhood, which emerged victorious in Egypt during the "Arab Spring," is not a breath of democracy in the public square. Even worse, the rebels in Syria have links to terrorists – or so we've heard. All we know is, it's a mess that's likely to get worse.
There may not be clear winners and losers, good and bad guys in Syria. Either way, neither is inclined to practice Western democracy as we know it. And isn't that what our foreign policy is about, at its pure pinnacle – as President Woodrow Wilson put it early in the 20th century, making the world safe for democracy? Isolated and lonely, Obama should hew true to that idea, which fits well with his own worldview.
The Wilsonian vision still lives and breathes beautifully as a way to measure – and define – our endeavors abroad. Let's try it sometime, like now.

From Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Democrat Gwen Moore celebrates passage of Violence Against Women Act
Washington, D.C. -- Milwaukee Democrat Gwen Moore, who took the lead in the House on renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, hailed its passage Thursday with lopsided, bipartisan support.
"There are just layers of this to celebrate," said Moore in an interview.
"This is personal to me. I hardly know a woman, it's a shame to say, who has not been a victim of violence," she said. "As a person who has been a victim and survivor of rape, I had to shed some tears for the nameless, faceless women who have not been fortunate enough to have someone at the other end of that phone call" asking for help.
With both the Senate and House now renewing the act, it goes to the White House for President Obama's signature. The law, first enacted in 1994, has provided services and protections to women victimized by domestic abuse and violence.
The measure adopted this year extends protections to gays and lesbians, women on tribal reservations and others.
The House passed it 286-138, with all 199 Democrats voting in favor and 87 Republicans voting yes and 138 Republicans voting no.
Before final passage, the House rejected a GOP alternative to the bill that excluded some of those added provisions.
"It's a celebration of bipartisanship, something that doesn't happen very often around here," said Moore. "This was a victory obviously for the expansion (of the law) so that all women are considered."
Among other things, the new law allows tribal courts to prosecute men who aren't American Indians when they're accused of abusing or attacking women on Indian reservations.
"You can't beat a woman and rape her with impunity (now)" said Moore. "This was a real gap (in the law)."
Some Republicans objected to that, calling it an unconstitutional expansion of tribal authority.
The law also offers specific services and protections for other groups, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered victims of abuse.
"This is yet another victory for taking LGBT folks out of the shadows," Moore said.
"This is very, very significant for me," Moore said of the bill's passage. " As everybody knows, I belong to a sea of nameless, faceless women who've faced violence at almost every stage of (their) life."
The Senate passed an identical measure 78-22 earlier this month.
Before the final House vote, the House rejected 166-257 the GOP alternative.
All three House Democrats from Wisconsin – Moore, Ron Kind and Mark Pocan -- voted for the final bill and against the GOP alternative.
On the GOP side, Jim Sensenbrenner and Tom Petri voted against both versions of the legislation.
Reid Ribble voted for the GOP alternative but against the final bill.
And Paul Ryan and Sean Duffy voted for the GOP alternative and – when that went down – also voted for the final bill.

I'm not a fan of Gwen Moore. Quite franky, I think she's over her head in that job. That being said I do think this is a good law and should have been passed. I'm not sure why my Representative voted against it; Sensenbrenner. People on my side of the tracks wonder why we are looked at as cold and out of touch? Well Jim? here's a prime example! I'm a working class "compassionate conservative" and that's the second time in a few months that Mr. Sensenbrenner has pissed me off. In January he wanted to play hard ball and "drive the bus off the fiscal cliff" for no other reason than to make a point. That's real nice when you can AFFORD the consequences Jim! Nothin like slappin' the people that voted for you in the face!....I guess I can now say; "the people that DID vote for you". You got some "splainin" to do pal!
"...the new law allows tribal courts to prosecute men who aren't American Indians when they're accused of abusing or attacking women on Indian reservations"
"In Britain, the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal makes use of sharia family law to settle disputes."
Wow, we're getting more liberal than Brits!

TRAVERSE CITY — Authorities arrested an Interlochen man on suspicion of armed robbery.
Michigan State Police responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Wendy's restaurant in Interlochen on Sunday night.
Police were able to track and arrest Aubrey Earl Rye, 50, by following his footprints in the snow and matching his appearance to a witness description.
Rye is charged with armed robbery and as a fourth-offense habitual offender. Both charges could land him in jail for life.
Rye is being held at the Grand Traverse County jail. Two of his previous convictions are for armed robbery, one in 1985 and one in 1991.
The suspect told Wendy's employees he was robbing the store, hinted he had a weapon and demanded money, according to a Michigan State Police press release. He held his left hand in his pocket, making it appear that he had a gun, witnesses told police.
The suspect threatened to kill employees if they followed him or called the police, according to the release, before stuffing about $1,400 into his pockets.
Police tracked Rye to his mother's house in Interlochen, where they found about $1,200 in cash in his coat, according to police reports.

Rampagin': Oakley's Ryan Dungey Grabs Eighth Straight Win at Unadilla, Leads International Podium
And Dungey's rampage continues.
After a three-week break, the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship returned to action for Round 9 on Saturday with the Rockstar Energy Unadilla National from Unadilla Valley Sports Center. A massive crowd was on hand as the world's best riders attacked one of the most legendary tracks in the country.
After grabbing the holeshot in the first premier class moto, Oakley sensation Ryan Dungey never looked back, continually extending his advantage over the field to the checkered flag. In Moto 2, the rookie worked his way into the lead after a top five start, engaging in a great battle with teammate and World Motocross Championship contender Clement Desalle, of Belgium, to secure the moto sweep in the late stages.
"I got a good start in Moto 1 and put myself in position to lead laps and take the win," said Dungey, who can wrap up the coveted title at the next round. "I wasn't thinking of the overall (in Moto 2). I just race to win every time out. Clement (Desalle) surprised me. It's not easy to come over (to the states) and do well. It was good for him and good for us to have a competitive moto."
Desalle, riding for Suzuki in a guest appearance in the U.S., finished second (2-2) while Honda's Brett Metcalfe, of Australia, rounded out the overall podium (5-3) that featured riders from three different continents. In his long-awaited return to American motocross, Oakley's James Stewart (now also a reality TV star), of Haines City, Fla., finished 11th overall (3-35).
Dungey now holds a 111-point advantage heading into an off week and sits just one win away from tying 10-time AMA Motocross champion – and Oakley Motocross Legend – Ricky Carmichael, of Tallahassee, Fla., for the most wins ever by a rookie. He also leads the division in average finish at 1.9 and laps led with 144.
Watch for Ryan as he continues to plow through the competition this season. And the O continues its prominence in motocross.

Game analysis: Fairfield, picked fourth in the MAAC's preseason poll, looks prepared to make another run at the league championship. The Stags (10-5, 2-1) drilled Canisius, 66-45, on Thursday by forcing the Golden Griffins (9-5, 2-1) into 21 turnovers and limiting the offensive looks of leading scorers Billy Baron, Harold Washington and Issac Sosa.
How Canisius lost: The three-guard lineup combined to shoot 4-for-22 overall and 2 of 10 from 3-point range. Both threes were made by Baron and the other was by Reggie Grove with 24 seconds left in the game. The Griffs rely heavily on 3-pointers - they're shooting 40.8 percent - and Fairfield made certain they didn't get any empty looks. And Stags coach Sydney Johnson was unhappy Canisius attempted 15 threes. Fairfield also converted 21 turnovers into 24 points.
Turning Point: Fairfield went up 11-0 to start the game, a run Canisius never recovered from. They pulled within four on a dunk by Manhertz with 14 minutes left in the first half but never got closer from the remainder of the game.
Player of the Game: Maurice Barrow (career-high 21 points) says he likes coming off the bench. The Griffs would prefer if he stayed on the bench for 40 minutes.
Key stat: Manhertz gobbled up seven offensive boards, one shy of Fairfield's total.
Key stat II: The Griffs registered just six assists.
Out of the rotation?: It's been a rough few games for senior guard Alshwan Hymes. In his last five games, Hymes is just 3 of 9 and hasn't attempted a 3-pointer in the last two. He played just three minutes on Thursday.
What It Means: Canisius was alone in first place before Thursday but it learned no one is going to roll over and give them the MAAC title. The word "complacency" was dropped often during Canisius' post-game press conference and perhaps the team needed to be bounced by 21 points to regain focus.
In the House: 1,106 at the KAC.
He said it: "Canisius has been the class of the league and so we had to play one of our best games. I thought our guys were tremendous in doing so. Obviously we feel like Canisius is going to be there in the hunt for the championship. ... We realize how good a team Canisius is and we were fortunate for the win." - Fairfield coach Sydney Johnson.
Up next: Canisius hosts Marist, who was blown away by Niagara on Thursday, 94-72, at 7 p.m. Saturday.

New Castle News
An Ellwood City woman is facing charges for an alleged disturbance with her neighbor.
According to Ellwood City police, a man who lives near Kim Kerr, 53, of 107 Grim Ave., said he heard a banging noise coming from Kerr's property around 8 a.m. Wednesday.
He told police he walked outside and saw a man banging on a tin pot, singing, "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead." The victim said the man and two women, one of whom was Kerr, yelled profanities at him and he walked to the front of his property and onto the street when the three of them approached him.
The victim said he was going to get his phone from Kerr when she pulled a gun and threatened to blow his head off if he stepped onto her property. He said he walked away, toward his garage, and reported the incident to the police.
Officers said they learned Kerr had a .38-caliber snub-nose pistol in her purse.
She is charged with making terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person and harassment.
She was issued a summons to appear in court for her preliminary hearing.

Today, July 11, is National Collector Car Appreciation Day across the U.S. That means...
Video: Chevrolet engineer Oppenheiser talks 2012 Camaro ZL1
What we have here is a little teaser video of the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 featuring chief engineer Al Oppenheiser. It was filmed at the Camaro Homecoming Event in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, in June.
Oppenheiser gives us a look at the 6.2-liter supercharged Camaro, explaining how airflow will enter the front grille and be drawn away from the engine with the hood vents. A new rear spoiler and rear diffuser complete the aero package.
The front end gets the Bumblebee treatment, with stacked fog lights and a big, gaping intake in between. The tires are staggered, with 19-inch rubber up front and 20-inchers in the rear.
The ZL1 will get a two-tone exhaust like the Grand Sport Corvette, with a valve to change the sound at a certain rpm. The ZL1 will also have the adjustable magnetic suspension from the Corvette ZR1 and six-piston Brembo brakes.

The fire was contained within 1.5 hours by units from Cal Fire, Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley and UCSC fire departments and controlled at 9:00 in the morning.
