GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- It didn't take Joker Phillips long to find another job.
The former Kentucky head coach landed at No. 4 Florida on Monday, joining the Gators as receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.
Florida coach Will Muschamp says Phillips will begin work Friday, adding that his "background as a head coach and the number of years he has coached wide receivers will be a tremendous asset to our coaching staff and players. Joker is obviously very familiar with the Southeastern Conference and has always done a great job in recruiting."
Phillips was a longtime receivers coach before taking over at Kentucky in 2010. He went 13-24 in three years with the Wildcats.
Former receivers Aubrey Hill left Florida in early August amid an NCAA investigation that involved his coaching tenure at Miami.

The LG Enlighten is Verizon's newest entry-level smartphone, offering a slide-out keyboard and Android for a wallet-friendly $80 with new contract.
Editor's Note: This product is currently available for free from Verizon's website with contract.
The Enlighten has a fairly simple design. It's also relatively thin for being a slider, at least an entry-level one. The sliding mechanism is a bit subtle; if you didn't know it was a slider, you might take a minute to notice. The Enlighten isn't tiny, but it's compact enough for most people and feels sturdy in the hand, like it's not going to break too easily.
The sides feature a standard micro-USB port for charging and connecting to your computer, as well as a microSD memory card slot hidden under the battery cover. Out of the box, the Enlighten comes with a 2 GB card already installed, although you can buy your own cards up to 32 GB in size.
The screen may be the Enlighten's biggest sacrifice in trying to be less expensive. At 3.2 inches, it's one of the smaller smartphone screens you'll find, and it's a "basic" 320 x 480 (HVGA) resolution. This would be a terrible size if you were trying to type with the on-screen keyboard, but fortunately that's not a problem here, as the Enlighten has a real keyboard.
With that out of the way, the Enlighten manages to make the best of it's limited screen space. It's not going to wow, but it's definitely serviceable for web browsing, music, messaging, and even some light games. It's even got pretty good colors and contrast for being a "cheap" screen.
Fortunately, the keyboard doesn't suffer at all from cutting corners on the pricetag. In fact if anything, its equal to those of more expensive phones.
There's several nice touches that make it so: for one thing, it comes with directional buttons on it for fine control, something that's decidedly tricky on many devices. You've also got the four Android navigational buttons reproduced in the upper corners, making it easy to use the device in landscape mode almost all the time. Last but not least, it has a full row of number keys at the top, which is often the first thing left out in more basic keyboards.
Other Buttons & Controls
Down at the "bottom" of the device, below the touchscreen, you have real buttons for navigation instead of the more typical touchscreen icons. This is the standard set: Menu, Home, Back, and Search.
The only other controls on the Enlighten are the standard power and volume keys, as well as a camera button.
This is Part 1 of of a multi-page review. Part 2 covers the performance, while Part 3 draws some conclusions. There's also an Image Gallery.

A well-known Carrolltown bar owner and father to the alleged kingpin in a multimillion-dollar drug ring admitted Thursday he laundered illegal drug profits for three years, prosecutors said.
And with the plea, Gerald G. Lowmaster, 67, of North Main Street, could face up to 20 years behind bars for his role in what local investigators called the largest ever busted in Cambria County.
Federal prosecutors alleged Lowmaster laundered money through his family bar, Jerry's Tavern, and allowed drug sales to occur inside, while allowing his son, George, to store drugs inside his home.
In court Thursday, Gerard Lowmaster admitted to being a conspirator in part of the drug ring by scheming to conceal drug proceeds between March 2008 and May 2011, U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton said.
Local, state and federal investigators busted the family ring in 2011 after a lengthy investigation into their alleged multi-state trafficking.
Dozens of accused members in the organization were arrested that year, including a handful of Lowmaster relatives, local Northern Cambria leaders and businessmen.
Federal court staff said alleged ringleader George Lowmaster is scheduled for an Oct. 18 hearing in federal court.
With the date set for a week prior to his scheduled trial, it's an indication he may plea to charges as well.
Gerald's wife, Marguerite "Dolly" Lowmaster, pleaded to marijuana distribution conspiracy Wednesday, a day before her husband.
Their pleas come a month or so after U.S. District Judge Kim Gibson ruled that information collected from telephone wiretaps could be used as evidence in court.
Gerald Lowmaster is scheduled for a Feb. 27 sentencing.
He remains free on bond, Hickton said.

The need for sleep can vary dramatically from person to person. And the reason, according to researchers at the UW-Madison, is genetic.
Scientists may have uncovered the mystery of sleep by studying the sleep patterns of flies which are very similar to humans.
Out of 9,000 genetic lines studied, they found one gene that determines if you need eight hours of sleep or if you can function just fine with four. The discovery could lead to more controlled sleep patterns in humans.
Dr. Chiara Cirelli says, "If you activate this particular gene you could imagine to have a very powerful power nap or very restorative sleep or vice versa, if you deactivate the gene you could have a very effective way to stay awake, much more powerful than caffeine.
Cirelli says there are no drugs available now that could affect this gene, but they hope to develop some and test them in animals.
The study was paid for by the Department of Defense.

Dutch financial services group ING Group has scrapped plans for a separate trade sale of its Belgian insurance business, worth 500 to 750 million euros, a person familiar with the deal said on Wednesday.
Sears "has been a mismanaged asset," Gregory Melich, an analyst at International Strategy & Investment, said in a Bloomberg Television interview yesterday. "A lot of traditional department stores have reinvigorated themselves through merchandising, through changing their locations; you think of Macy's. You haven't seen that from Sears." Yesterday the largest U.S. department store chain reported that it would close as many as 120 locations after same-store sales fell 5.2 percent in the eight weeks ended Dec. 25.
Whirlpool investors–already burned by a sagging stock in 2011–aren't spending time trying to figure out what the impact of Sears' planned store closings will be. They're just bailing out, reports the Wall Street Journal. As Whirlpool has seen weak demand of its own this year, investors are seemingly done for now in waiting for turnaround signs. Shares are off 7 percent today to $47.57, pushing Whirlpool's stock price down more than 46 percent for 2011.
Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext have extended the deadline for completion of their planned merger to March 31 next year as they seek to convince European regulators to back the $9 billion deal.
Deal Book asks, how do you go from being one of the country's most-renowned and respected business leaders to landing on the list of the Worst C.E.O.'s of 2011? Sydney Finkelstein, professor of strategy and leadership at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and author of "Why Smart Executives Fail" presents his list of the worst C.E.O.'s of 2011.

Penn State announced changes to the pricing structure for Penn State football tickets on Wednesday, including a new $200 tier for some upper level seats.
Seats in sections EGU, ECU, WGU and WCU in Beaver Stadium that required a $400 donation this year will require $200 next season. Seats in sections EFU, EDU, WFU and WDU that were $600 previously will now only require a $400 donation.
The changes will affect more than 11,500 seats.
The changes this year are put into place with two goals in mind. One offer our fans additional, more appealing options in order to maximize the number of Nittany Lion fans coming to Beaver Stadium and cheering on our team each week, and two grow the revenues needed to maintain, in an increasingly difficult climate, the excellent competitive and classroom performance that Penn Staters everywhere expect, Penn States acting athletic director David Joyner said in a press release.
The university and Nittany Lion Club also unveiled the One Team Commitment, which requires a fiveyear commitment in which Penn State fans will earn NLC bonus points each year they donate in addition to 50 NLC bonus points at the end of the term.
Our fans have been tremendously supportive over the past several months, coach Bill OBrien said in the press release.
And theyve already made a difference for our kids this season. We need that going forward, because every student on every one of our teams deserves the best Penn State has to offer.

Nursing Care Plan for Stroke
Nursing-careplans.com – This article gives a little overview Nursing Care Plan for Stroke and Nursing Diagnosis for Stroke , what is meant by Nursing Care Plan for Stroke and Nursing Diagnosis for Stroke?
Nursing Care Plans for Stroke Cerebrovascular Accident. Stroke Also known as brain attack or a Cerebrovascular accident, Cerebrovascular accident (CVA), or "stroke," is the interruption of normal blood flow in one or more of the blood vessels that supply the brain. Stroke interrupts or diminishes oxygen supply and commonly causes serious damage or necrosis in brain tissues.
The sooner circulation returns to normal after stroke, the better chances are for complete recovery. About half of those who survive stroke remain permanently disabled and experience a recurrence within weeks, months, or years. A CVA is an acute neurological injury that occurs because of changes in the blood vessels of the brain. The changes can be intrinsic to the vessel (atherosclerosis, inflammation, arterial dissection, dilation of the vessel, weakening of the vessel, obstruction of the vessel) or extrinsic, such as when an embolism travels from the heart. Although reduced blood flow interferes with brain function, the brain can remain viable with decreased blood flow for long periods of time. However, total cessation of blood flow produces irreversible brain infarction within 3 minutes. Once the blood flow stops, toxins released by damaged neurons, cerebral edema, and alterations in local blood flow contribute to neuron dysfunction and death.
Causes for Stroke Cerebrovascular Accident
Major causes of stroke include cerebral thrombosis, embolism, and hemorrhage.
- Thrombosis is the most common cause of stroke in middle-age and elderly people.
- Embolism, the second most common cause of stroke, can occur at any age, especially among patients with a history of rheumatic heart disease, endocarditis, posttraumatic valvular disease, or myocardial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmias.
- Hemorrhage, the third most common cause of stroke, may also occur suddenly at any age. Such hemorrhage results from chronic hypertension or aneurysms, which cause sudden, rupture of a cerebral artery.
Factors that increase the risk of stroke include:
• History of TIAs
• Heart disease
• Atherosclerosis
• Hypertension
• Arrhythmias
• Rheumatic heart disease
• Diabetes mellitus
• Gout
• Postural hypotension
• Cardiac enlargement
• Smoking
• And a family history of cerebrovascular disease
Complications for Stroke Cerebrovascular Accident
Among the many possible complications of stroke are unstable blood pressure from loss of vasomotor control, fluid imbalances, malnutrition, infections such as pneumonia, and sensory impairment, including vision problems. Altered level of consciousness (LOC), aspiration, contractures, and pulmonary emboli also may occur.
Nursing Assessment Nursing Care Plans for Stroke Cerebrovascular Accident
Patient history. Determine if the patient has experienced an inability to recognize familiar objects or persons through sensory stimuli or any memory loss. Elicit a history of speech difficulties such as an inability to understand language or express language aphasia, poorly articulated speech dysarthria, or any other form of speech impairment (dysphasia), lost the ability to comprehend written words (alexia), read written words (dyslexia), or write (agraphia). History of visual difficulties such as diplopia, defective vision, or blindness in the right or left halves of the visual fields of both eyes , lack of depth perception, color blindness, blindness, blurring on the affected side, or drooping eyelids (ptosis).
Neurologic examination identifies most of the physical findings associated with stroke. These may include unconsciousness or changes in LOC, such as a decreased attention span, difficulties with comprehension, forgetfulness, and a lack of motivation. If conscious, the patient may exhibit anxiety along with communication and mobility difficulties.
Inspection may reveal related urinary incontinence.
Diagnostic tests for Stroke Cerebrovascular Accident
- Computed tomography scan.
- Magnetic resonance imaging.
- Electrocardiogram.
- Carotid duplex may detect carotid artery stenosis.
- Angiography.
- EEG helps to localize the damaged area.
Nursing Diagnosis Nursing care plan for Stroke Cerebrovascular Accident
Diagnosis of stroke is based on observation of clinical features, a history of risk factors, and the results of diagnostic tests, Nursing Diagnosis for Stroke Cerebrovascular Accident:

A once elitist drink is gaining popularity all over the United States. When compared to beer, just how popular is wine?
"A wine that's balanced and complex has a lot of flavors and a lot of nuances to it. Wine needs to have a fruitiness, but also some acidity to make it clean and refreshing," said Mike Panczak, wine maker at White Hall vineyards.
This passion for the grape is a nationwide trend. More Americans are choosing wine as their primary drink over beer, reported the Gallup Poll, for the first time.
"Looking at our numbers last year, we've had a huge increase in sales about 45 percent from the year before," said Elly Palmer, Sales Manager at White Hall vineyard.
The Monticello region has the most vineyards in Virginia, a state which is in the top five for wine production in the country.
"Virginia wines go really good with food," said Panczak. "Most of the wineries in Virginia are small, they're not factories--pretty much hand crafted wines from the grape to the bottle."
But many wouldn't know about the social side of tasting wine, describing the taste or the smell, without the movie "Sideways," which introduces that side of wine.
"It's really offered people almost a hobby to just go in and pop in the wine shop, find something that looks new and interesting to try with dinner that night," said Palmer.
"We give [visitors] a tour; [they] get to see where the grapes are growing, they get to see the facility, they get to see how its manufactured, they get to taste the wines. It's a real personal thing," Panczak explained.
Wine is losing it's snobby image with stronger marketing, festivals, and tastings, not to mention the health benefits.
"The consumption of one of two glasses of wine a day actually helps your heart and your overall health and I think it helps to relax you as well", said Panczak.
Although the wine market is growing faster than beer, beer is still a significant leader in sales.
There are almost 30 wineries in the Charlottesville area, but Northern Virginia is still a growing region for wine.

First camp at 7900 feet, second camp at 11200. 4 nights with no tent and 10 degree temps/snow storm. First attempt thwarted by high winds. Summited on Cinco de Mayo.

(Without my backpact and gear, we had to wait for them to be delivered by the airlines). We headed out to Bishop the next day. We camped out at the foothill and again at Anvil camp the next day. We started out at 5am and by the time we reached Sheperd Pass I was about to give up. The snow fields were beautiful. We made it to the bowl and with sheer will power made the last 500m.

|I made the summit with Chris Kobyashi on my second sweat up george creek. I remember fleas and ticks covering my arms and crawling out of my pockets both times at both creek crossings. The crux of the biscuit, by far. The blood suckers were hibernating,or on downers, and hangign out on the branches that canopied the small criks.
what i thought was a single deer track on the side of a 30% sand slope turned out to be the trail.
Great views, but the bump of a summit was anti-climactic compared to george creek. i know two people, in great shape that day climbed the creek- recommended.
Be mindful of the bighorn sheep restrictions and do not go up in the fall. We couldn't find the register anyway.

to be totally honest, my scarf collection consists of one scarf. i know. but i am fully aware that folks like to wear scarves and have beautiful collections. most of my clients are in the second category and have oodles upon oodles of scarves and effortlessly accessorize with playful patterns and prints. so this post is for all my clients that need a new spin on displaying scarves. what i like about this idea is that it's sooooooooo easy. i mean, we're talking a few turns of the wrist here.
all you need is some cup hooks and chain. i opted for the heavier chain (it already came in this fun yellow color). but you could spray paint to match your decor. you can buy chain by the foot from your local hardware store. just have them cut it to the length you would like.
you don't even need to use a ruler or mark anything out. just pick a place and screw the cup hook in. i went with white cup hooks so they blend into the wall. but again, you could paint for a pop of color.
play around with the placement of the chains– here are six designs to get your creative juices flowing…
and that's it folks. we are DONE!
now just hang those beauties and we're out!

Come Thursday morning, it was time to prepare. I headed out to pick up the necessary supplies { including my new kitchen torch}. I came home, did some work, answered some emails, and baked some cupcakes.
Rather than type out the recipe, I am including a printable copy of the recipe above. Just click on the image for the full size.
And here are a few photos of the baking process. I am too tired to edit these photos, so they'll have to do as they are. Enjoy!
The finished product. A layer of graham cracker at the bottom, a marshmallow center, chocolate cupcake, more graham cracker sprinkled on top, meringue frosting {torched to look like a marshmallow} and a little piece of chocolate to top it off.
These cupcakes were inspired by this recipe, and this one, too.

Her last position prior to retirement was with Air Gas in Pryor. She attended Life Fellowship Church and was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution (Osage Hills Chapter). She loved reading, was an avid game player and quite competitive when playing Gin, Bridge, Mahjong and/or "Spoons." She enjoyed her time in the Church Bell Choir and attending opera performances with her cousin Ed Ben McCollough.
Gaither survived by daughter Kimberly (Anderson) Sherrod and husband Stephen Sherrod and one grandson, S. Taylor Sherrod, all of Tulsa; sister Carla Sue (Gaither) Jeffrey and husband Dr. Lee Jeffrey of Ft. Collins, Colo.; nephews Craig Jeffrey of Ft. Collins, Colo. and Scott Jeffrey of Bozeman, Mont.

Is this a screen shot of an iPhone running iOS 5?
TechCrunch has got its hands on a picture that may well be from an iPhone running iOS 5. The picture shows a notification bar at the top of the screen, under the time. The notification bar shows two new twitter mentions. Now this could very well be a fake; based on previous information that Twitter may be baked into iOS 5. We don't know and neither does TechCrunch at this stage.
They do note that the iPhone shown could be European; as the weather icon shows 23 degrees and sunny rather than the US 73 degrees. The icons are in the correct out of the box order, however, the camera icon has changed to black from silver.
What do you think? Is this real, fake or really fake? Let us know in the comments!
There are 49 comments. Add yours.
Only thing that bothers me about that is, if you tap that, it's sure to open the twitter app BUT, how would you be accessing previous notifications? Is it the same "use it or lose it" notification system just less intrusive? I'm positive Apple wouldn't copy the drag down curtain from android so...I'm not sure how I feel about it.
My guess is that if you have more than one notification then a list would drop down and therefore show the outstanding notifications. That being said, it has to be the real one first, right!
You would be wrong they did copy it
This Twitter feature would be very handy and fits with the rumors of deeper Twitter integration. We will know soon!
In Canada it shows 23 degrees on the icon.
Yep. And with PM in the time, I'd say Canada before any European country! ;-)
You can easily tell that it is fake if you look at the facetime icon it is green rather than the silvery colour it is now in the newer versions of iOS.
Face to palm...
Someone has never owned an iPhone obviously
The iPhone doesn't have a dedicated Facetime icon/app like the iPod Touch and iPad.
I think he's referring to the bar being silvery as opposed to green, what he doesn't realize is that thought its green with facetime and phone calls, its blue with tethering and red with skype other voip calls. So the fact that its grey doesn't make the pic fake, it just means that notifications are grey.
Took them long enough to do a notification bar. My android phone has had it for forever. Personally I don't think that apple would put integrated twitter. I would belive that this may be a new jailbroken iPhone widget. Just my opinion though
We know your android has had it forever.. Apple does things on their own time.. Seems to be working for them..
Welcome to The IPHONE Blog, troll.
We are VERY aware that your ANDROID phone has had it for a long time. That's why we're talking about this. It is something we have asked for for a long time.
By the way - which Android anti-virus do you use? Maybe someday we'll need one on the iPhone... Not.
i think this is how notifications will look when you're in an application - so that it doesn't bother you. they will either have an app to show all of the notifications or a gesture to bring it up.
Carl its not an ipod it's an iPhone and the green app is the message icon
Calendar icon also shows that this screen shot could have been taken yesterday as well. Sunday June 5th.
Helvetica on the clock and icons and Myriad on the notification text? No, I don't think so. Fake, really fake, I say.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the battery percentage, only previously available through jailbreaking.
I wonder if that means apple has added it for iOS 5, or just adds to the fake calls.
iPhone and iPad allow battery percentage to be shown
i have it on my non-jailbroken iphone4.
settings => general => usage => battery percentage.
My bad. First time with an iPhone since 2.5 years ago. I guess times have changed :)
I thought that about iOS4. Come to find out - it's been there for awhile. Goto Settings, General, Usage.
New camera icon as well?
That camera icon reminds me of the box for Aperture v2.
no TIPB, that is not a screenshot, that is a photograph! :D
No, it's a shot of a screen...
Actually, the guy was right - tehcnically it's NOT a screenshot, it's a picture/photograph of the screen...but hey, that's not the point of the post anyway...
No, he wasn't right as he misquoted. The article headline is actually "screen shot", i.e. a shot of a screen, not "screenshot" which is something different.
But, that's not the point of the article, so carry on :-)
If we are going to get stupid about this then technically we wont ever know without asking as this could be a screen shot thats being viewed from the camera roll lol
The info bar on top is also more of a metallic color versus just black.
A long shot... but regarding the camera icon, maybe it will differ in colour depending on the colour of your iphone, to match the back plate of the device... i.e. black icon for black iphone, white icon for white iphone, and silver/grey icon for ipod touch and ipad.
I can believe that being the case with regards to the camera icon..
"however the camera icon has changed to black from silver" in this pic, the camera icon looks black to me ~
Think you're reading it wrong. Thats what they are saying, its changed to black from silver.
How will these notifications(assuming they're real) work in a full screen game?
Why Twitter needs to be integrated to a phone OS anyways?
The font at clock is the very same since iPhones exist... also on the picture!
Temp on weather is the same everywhere in the world. Don't dream too much :-)
No it's not the same everywhere. In Fahrenheit locations it's shown as being 73 degrees: http://www.smspal.com/iPhonePhoto.jpg
We'll all know in about 4 hours, won't we?
According to MacRumors, its a concept design done or found by someone on techcrunch.
Just copy the android dropdown curtain, apple. no need to reinvent the wheel...
Oh, but they HAVE to. And, it will be MUCH more magical than theirs. AND, probably not work as good, or look as good, but no one will be allowed to complain about, lest they be jumped on by the fanboys on here. This will be ANOTHER trickle out upgrade, like always. There will be things in the beta that everyone will love that will be gone by the gold, and we will be waiting on IOS 47 to get. Don't beleive me? Go back in this blog. It has been around since before #1, and read all the posts about "wish lists" for each new OS. You won't be able to tell them from today's posts. And after today, it will all start all over again. Maybe next time??........
Nope. They just copied the Android dropdown curtain. Haha
SMH.I've been begging for them to use the upper bar for notifications !
Not liking that Camera icon.
Theres something green in the utilities folder

Auto Climate Control and Engine Power
How much of a power drain should I notice on a 2010 with 5.3L engine when I have the climate control on? When the AC is on, I notice when the AFM kicks in, and accelerating seems to take a MUCH greater effort than when the AC is off. Comparing this to my experience in another vehicle, I recently drove a coworker's Saturn Sky with a turbocharged 2.0L engine. The AC was on full blast, but I never notice any apparent power drain on the engine (and I never accelerated hard enough for the turbo to kick in).Lane - Oklahoma

As far as I am concerned, there is always some power loss when running anything on a vehicle. Most of the time it's negligable, but even if you park your truck on a dark night and turn your lights on pointed at a building, then roll-up your windows and keep going with the switch even after they are all up ... you will notice the lights dim down a big as the electric motors are taking energy to keep the windows going up.
So the question is, how much more when running AC? We know that it does take away a significant MPG factor of at least 1 or 2%, so I assume it must also take away from the performance.
Those are just my thoughts, anyone else agree or disagree?

I dont notice it on my truck but on my 99 saturn SC1 with 100hp I do. If i need to accelerate the AC has to be off or it is just a dog (not very quick with it off but a huge difference) I would think that it shouldnt cause that much drag on the V8. usually a HP ratio thing. should be plenty of hp in the 5.3 to combat the couple of hp draw.David

The HP loss isn't dramatic; if anything you're losing 5 lbs of torque because torque is what you notice as you're accelerating. It could be as much as 15 lbs of torque depending on the humidity, temperature outside and the terrain you're traveling on.
The A/C does kick off when you're accelerating at full throttle, if you maintain a long enough time at full throttle you'll notice it gets a little warmer, it's not only your blood pumping, but it's because the computer turns off the A/C pulley to make sure nothing gets overspun and damaged.

That could be part of the explanation... It's been quite hot here lately. The temperatures have been topping out at 100 to 110 over the last 2 weeks. The humidity, I believe, has been around 40%. Of course, I could have gotten some bad gas, too. The last two tanks, my MPG has been roughly 10% lower than the prior 3 months average. Guess I need to make sure Murphy's isn't selling the ethanol blend before I fill up there again.
i have the same issues with mine. its a 95 with the 5.7 it seems to really bogg down when i turn the ac on.

Yes it will bog the motor down, it's like adding weight to your body while your running. If you're running and out of nowhere you get an additional 50-100 lbs added to you, what do you do? Slow down and eventually work your way up to speed once you get momentum going. Same basic principle works with something traveling in a circular motion with a pulley like system.
It's nothing to be worried about, the thing you could do I guess is get a fully electric ac compressor that doesn't work off of the engine it self, but rather by just electricity which will require a bigger alternator which in turn will still bog down your motor. You could just avoid it all and add a super charger or a turbo to the motor and then just call it a day, or just remove the a/c system all together.
Point being, you're motor will bog down no matter what, and depending on the environment you're in, will also determine how much of a change will be noticeable.

BEVERLY — Capt. Chris Negrotti will officially become acting police chief when Chief Mark Ray retires on Sept. 13, Mayor Bill Scanlon announced yesterday.
Negrotti has been with the Beverly Police Department for 28 years. He was promoted to captain three years ago and has served since then as the department's patrol commander and executive officer.
The announcement did not come as a surprise, as Scanlon had said weeks ago that Negrotti would become acting chief.
Negrotti will also be a candidate to become the permanent chief. Scanlon said the city has begun the search for a new chief and will conduct a "broad outside search," as well as considering candidates from within the department.
Scanlon also announced that Lt. Bill Terry will serve as an acting captain and Sgt. Philip McCarthy will serve as an acting lieutenant until a new chief is appointed.
"We wish departing Chief Ray and his family well and thank Chief Ray for his faithful service," Scanlon said in the press release.
Staff writer Paul Leighton can be reached at 978-338-2675 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Houston and Hill Country Best Sausage
Every time I visit Austin, I stop over in Elgin at the Southside BBQ and buy 10 - 15 pounds of their "hot" sausage. Along with their BBQ sausage, brisket, and ribs. On ocassion will stop in Chappel Hill for their sausage.
Southside BBQ sausage, and BBQ brisket, has been an up-and-down affair since they moved from the old downtown Elgin location. I need to find another place, or places, to satisfy my need for great, seasoned sausage.
Any places here in Houston or on the road to-and-beyond Austin that anyone is willing to share?
A plus would include eating good BBQ at whatever is recommended.
Louie Muellers In Taylor has Jalep Sausage that is great.
Guys Meat Market sells good Hot Links in Houston.
Burton Meat Market or sausage market is very good as well.
re: John Scar
re: John Scar
Well, at least you didn't use "sausage" and "hot links" in the same sentence. They are not the same thing at all. Texas or Louisiana hot links are those smoked "fat weenie" things like Blue Ribbon, Johnsonville and others package for sale in stores. Which is about the only way you're going to get them around here too.
Hot links may be beef or pork, or both, but I avoid like the plague any that contain mechanically dismembered chicken parts or anything resembling same.
You can get them at most all barbecue restaurants and a lot of soul food places in SoCal. But here in Texas, forget it. If anybody serves them ready to eat around Houston, by all means, let me know. It's a nuisance thawing out one or two links and firing up the King Kooker on the porch just for myself.
re: Pirate Paul
Interesting question. You might call Burt's Cajun Meat Market on Lyons. It's a meat market and hot foods deli and I know they have sausage to serve but I've never tried it. Also might try Guy's Meat Market on OST. I'm pretty sure they make hot links but whether it's what they serve on their bbq plates or not I don't know.
You might post about this on the new Houston board.
re: Pirate Paul
re: Pirate Paul
RE Pirate Paul: "Well, at least you didn't use 'sausage' and 'hot links' in the same sentence. They are not the same thing at all."
Am I missing something? Are you just being sarcastic? Or are you seriously saying that Texas hot links are not sausage "at all"?
Because if that's the case, I would wonder if you even know the definition of sausage. Sausage includes everything from Jimmy Dean's plastic tubes to bologna to Oscar Meyer Weiners to Italian salamis to Germany's wursts to Spain and Mexico's chorizos to Elgin's wonderous smoked meat marvels.
And most definitely includes our ambrosial Texas Hot Links - of which everyone in this state is justifiably proud.
And to which we can, and do, and will forevermore, even "in the same sentence" refer as "sausage" since that's exactly what hot links are.
Do I misunderstand you? And if so, what are you talking about?
re: Jaymes
Jaymes: Good question, and thanks. No I am not being sarcastic. In the broad general sense, yes, they are all some kind of sausage.
But when you order hot links in California, you get hot links. When you order it in Texas (at any barbecue joint and even most soul food places), you get a cutting from a rope sausage ring. You can see that both ends have been cut, the size is noticeably bigger than a hot link, so is the grind, and they taste nothing alike.
Guy's Market doesn't have hot links, and I haven't checked the other place yet. I have made my own, as well as andouille, but not everyone is into that. If you want hot links made by somebody else, you have to go to the grocery store and then grill them yourself at home.
My favorite commercial brands are Blue Ribbon and Johnsonville, both made in Texas, but there are many other good ones (and just as many that are not). Read labels, and insist on pork and/or beef only, not mechanically dismembered chicken parts.
re: Pirate Paul
Well, I'll remember that if I'm ever in California ordering hot links.
But until then, I believe I'll sashay right into my local Texas 'cue joints and order me up a mess o' hot links.
And if the pitmaster seems in need of cheering up, I'll explain to him that he's not allowed to call them that anymore because a feller from California says that's not what they really are.
That should give him a big laugh.
re: John Scar
I've heard good things about Smolik's in Cuero (including in Robb Walsh's book), but they've been closed every time I've passed through the town (including three or four times this year). If it's not too big a detour off your route, it might be worth checking out. If you do, please report back on it here. (Their web site is linked to below.)
On the topic of hot links, which has come up in this thread, are there any good products at supermarkets? I saw several today, Earl Campbell, James, other names I can't remember. Any of them worth anything? I was at Guy's Meat Mkt the other day but I couldn't get any service at the meat counter without going through the hamburger/bbq plate lunch line and that would have taken about 20 minutes so I just walked out.
re: dexmat
re: uncle petey
Dear Uncle Petey,
I was so glad to see your post. You reference Kasper's but there are many butcher's on the same strip as Kasper's aren't there? I have not been to Weimar in years. The last time there (10 years) asked if they shipped. They did not at that time.
My grandma was from Glidden,west of Weimar. When she went home she'd bring back links and links of "Weimar sausage" in her luggage. The large Samsonite suitcase would be full. Those were happy days.
I know the butcher's down there are old school, but mail order could not hurt and would make my family happy.
On a rec on this Board, we stopped in Weimar and bought 10 lbs of Kaspar's sausage. It was 10 times too much. Elgin's Southside Mkt is still the best.
re: waistedinkerrville
re: waistedinkerrville
Just for balance. I havent tried Elgins (but have made a note to do so), but have eaten sausage at quite a few BBQ joints in Texas and elsewhere, and bought sausage wherever I've lived in the US, make my own, and havent had anything close to Kaspars. My folks are from that area and I can say that the quality and taste over was the same the last time I bought there (2008) as when I remember my dad getting sausage there (probably late 50s) That kind of tradition is remarkable IMOP.
re: waistedinkerrville
Just an update, made a trip to the Southside Market on the strength of their reputation. I have to say I had better just a few days earlier at the Salt Lick. Neither even in the same league as Kaspars IMOP. Southside is pretty much like other commercial sausage, tastes like a meat product rather than cured or smoked meat in a casing.
I have to say Bellville Meat Market makes great products. And I just read on their web site that you can buy Poffenberger Sausage at most Speck's and Central Markets.

I wanted to add this new one I just recently discovered. I was checking out the fried chicken at Brookshire Brothers grocery stores for an ongoing thread on the Houston board about supermarket fried chicken ( http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/783156 ) and found a brand I'd never heard of, EJ's Meat Co. of Shiner. That makes three sausage makers in Shiner; the others are Patek's and Maekers, both of whom put out some good products.
I've been very impressed with EJ's. I've tried the smoked pork with garlic, the pork smokies (with garlic) and the pork and beef and jalapeno links (with garlic). The best was the last one, very, very juicy with a moderate amount of heat though very little flavor of jalapeno. They do like the garlic which is fine by me.
The grind is a medium, not as coarse as most Central Texas sausage makers go for and they use sheep's casings for a nice snap and a little chewiness. They remind me a lot of the sausages from V & V in Cistern but there's no TVP.
I have no idea if they have a store-front in Shiner as I can't find much about them online; I've only seen them at the Brookshire Brothers in Katy and Columbus.
