As was to be expected, the
"Kosher Meat ( auldron" at Miami
Beach was bubbling merrily lhe
past week. Charges and recrimi-
nations were bandied about rather
freely. Investigations about butch-
ers were begun. Conflicting stories
about each other were told by dif-
ferent butchers. Of course, every-
one but lhe butcher speaking was
"absolutely treifah."
Some butchers even went so far
as to hang out signs declaring that
I hey were under the supervision of
Kahhis, when they had been told
not to. It mattered little to them
what the Rabbi said, just so they
could further their own business
interests. Deception, lying, mis-
representation, all contrary to
lhe very initial conception of
"Ne'emonus" (faith) in the butch-
er, are practiced to gain the con-
fidence of the customer.
Charges against the Rabbi who
tries to be fair, honest and sincere
are made by all, simply because he
cannot ... as a true leader of his
people say: "I believe this man
to be kosher."
What a deplorable situation:
But are we in this area alone in
ihis tragedy? No, not by any
means. Last week in the metro-
politan city of Baltimore, known
for years as "The Jerusalem of
America" with a "V'Aad Harabo-
nim" composed of more than four-
teen old and young Orthodox Rabbis
of Standing, many of them mem-
bers of the Agudaa Harabonlm of
America and Canada, issued a
statement in which they withdrew
their supervision from every
butcher in Baltimore. They frank-
ly confessed they could not cope
with the situation, so long as the
mass of the Jewish people re-
mained indifferent. They urged an
awakening of the conscience of the
people as the only solution to the
entire problem.
Here in Miami we are faced by
the very same problem. Not un-
til the people rise up in arms and
demand that they get what they
are paying for, will anything be
accomplished. Aside from the re-
ligious question involved, it is a
question of simple honesty. The
Jew is paying a tremendous tariff
and premium because he wants
kosher meat. He is entitled to re-
ceive what he is paying for.
Once again we urge upon the
people of this community, and par-
ticularly upon the smug, compla-
cent, self-satisfied tourist who
conn- to these shores that it is
up to him to get what he is pay-
ing for. That can and will be ac-
complished by the people them-
We suggest: The formation of
an organization composed of lay-
men, representative of each of the
Synagogues, and the tourist popu-
lation. Let the Rabbis act in an
advisory capacity only then
and then alone, will something
have been done in the right direc-

The thorny problem of kashruth
enforcement in New York has been
further complicated by the indict-
ment of Arthur Simon, municipal
kosher meat inspector and a lay
member of the Kashruth Associa-

bribery and felony. The indict-
ments grew out of charges by a
kosher meat dealer that Simon al-

puted to have important political
connections, denies the charges and
insists he is being "framed."

Several hundred Jewish residents
and tourists and a number of non-
Jews attended the first of a series
of symposiums on Jewish cultural
matters held at Temple Israel last
Tuesday evening. The program,
which was presented under the aus-
pices of the Rabbis of Greater
Miami, began with an organ re-
cital by Mrs. Hannah Spiro Asher.
Rabbi David I. Rosenbloom of Beth
Jacob Congregation told of the
formation of the symposiums and
presented Rabbi Julius Wasner of
the Miami Jewish Orthodox Con-
gregation, who detailed the history
of Orthodox Judaism or, as he
termed it, "traditional Judaism." A
duet by Mrs. Herbert U. Feibelman
and Mrs. Arthur Hirtenstein of
Temple Israel choir then followed.
Rabbi Max Shapiro of Beth David
Congregation was the next speak-
er and told of the founding of
"Conservative Judaism" by the late
Dr. Sabbato Morais, the founder of
the Jewish Theological Seminary.

The Human Tragedy"
Scripture Heading, Malachi, Chapter II, Verse 10, and Psalm CXXXIII,
Verse 1
For throe years this voice has been hoard, as Isaiah might put it,
"The voioe of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make straight in the dosort a highway for our God. Every
valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made
low; and the crooked shall bo made straight, and the rough places
plain; And the glory of the Lord shall bo revealed, and all flesh shall
see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."
For three years this voice has been admitted into the homes of
Jews and Christiansonly the voice and its messagethe speaker re-
maining, to most of the listeners, non-existent because invisible. And, I
would have it so. The message on Sinai was none the less potent be-
cause the Voice was not emanating from a physical body. For those
who are inspired, lor those who are attuned to the Spiritual, an audible
sound is superfluous. God's message to the prophets was received in
visions, by day or by night. There was not even a voice. No, not
even the "still small voice." 1 can conceive of the stillness, but the
"voice" makes tin phrase contradictory. Still means silent. How,
t/ien, could there have been a voice? However, to our audience, not
yet attuned to the spiritual, a voice, an audible sound leaving its im-
pression on the physical sense of hearing and, through it, upon the
mind, is necessary.
After these three years of regular weekly broadcasts I have been
convinced that the voice is not crying in the wilderness. At least, not
in an uninhabited and bleak wilderness. The thought waves have
a iused dormant forces and the words cast to the winds have brought
liuit. The fruition has been in the realm of thought. Men and women
have been arouse.i from their lethargic state of mind. God has come
to mean something in their lives. Religion lias become a vital factor
in their daily expi riences.
There is much that remains to l'e done before the greatest of all
human tragedies will | d from its position of saddling
mankind with afflictions. I refer to the confusion of theologies, the
multitude Of faiths, and the mass of dogma that divide men, that keep
thers from living together in unity, peace and harmony. Religion
unites men. The m, sets up harriers to keep them
i part. We well to heed the words of that great Roman
state Cicero, "Ju mmands us to have mercy upon all men,
to consult the int< i -:- of th( whole human race, to give to everyone
hi: due. and to injure no sacred, public or foreigen rights, and to
ing what doe- not belong to us." Substitute the word
. for the word justice and you have a great religious truth in
what might be termed a "sacred phrase."
I il were impressed by the great number of reli-
i ven in their day. In rendering an interpretation to the
vi rsea which e th< ition of man from the dust of the earth,
they stated : made man in this wise that, at no time, should
men lay claims to a better or nobler origin than their neighbors. We
all have our roots in the common clay. God did not create several ,
Adams. He did not draw from different molds, the original forms for
n Jew, a Christian, a Catholic or Protestant, a Hindoo, a Moslem, a
Chinese or a heretic and atheist. Reason teaches us that our Common
Father lovi us all with equal fervor and devotion. So does religion |
teach the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
But. this beautiful tree of Religion has been attacked by parasitic
fungi. Theologies have sprung up from seeds sown by man's hypoth-
and guesses; these plants have been fertilized by man's egotism,
vanity, greed and craving for power, and have drawn their nutrition
from roots imbedded in the superstitious minds and hearts of the ig-
norant mas.-es. These attempts by man to enhance the beauty of the
Trie of Religion have resulted in a wild growth of ideas, creeds and
dogmas, which have now grown to such proportions that the body of
the tree, the essentials of pure and simple religion, the Divine Love,
Justice, Peace, Brotherhood, Mercy, Co-operationall have been hidden
by the forms and rituals which have made us strangers one to the
Other. Out of sight and out of mind are the reasons for our being on <
earth. Our attention is centered upon the outer peel of our differences
i a; her than upon the great central core of tiie things wo have in
I do not pray for one united human family in worship. That view
is not yet on our horizon. It will come in its own good time. I am
concerned with those things that are feasible and possible of accom-
plishment in our own day by our own human efforts. Radical change!
n the style of human thought and concepts are too revolutionary for
accomplishment in any one generation. But, thinking beings, con-
US of pain, aware of the focus of infection-, and offered a remedy.
ivail themselves of it. No person able to read is
unaware of the general -late of the human family; no one should be
. rant of thf feelings that exist between nation.- and between in-
dividuals. On the Other hand, the average individual is disinterested
'a the human family at a whole. He has problems clo e to his home.
What he fails to the relationship between the world problems
and his own. t of those major matters on his own petty, pc."-
onal, ely unimportant problem ,
The ther side to this tragedy that goes unnoticed in
those quarten where it should attract attention. The picayune, per-,
i and acts of the individual, multiplied many fold, pro- j
duces the greal world unrest. What are we to do? Shall we strive
by a stroke of the pen, by legislation, and conferences between states- !
men, to right this condition, to effect a cure by one dose that may be
fatal, revolutionary; or, shall we rather administer doses in small quan-
tities by effecting a change in the individuals who make up the human
familyat least, that portion of it that can be influenced by us?
Which seems the wiser, the more logical course?
So, for three years, on a larger scale than within the narrow
confines of a physical structure, we have attempted to carry out thu
instructions to the "voice crying in the wilderness." In our presenta-
tion, in sermon and in question box, we have sought to level mountains
and hills, to make straight the crooked, and to make plain the rough.
We have labored to bring to light the simple truths of Religion, that
they may be applied in the daily lives of our brothers. We have
fought to bring to the top, into the consciousness of every listener,
those gems of happiness which, because they were buried under a
mass of theological trimmings, were not adorning the human family,
were not giving to it the joy and comfort which they possess.
Some there are who hold tenaciously to their creeds and dogmas.
May they find happiness in them. As for me, I prefer a creedless
faith to a faithless creed. Whatever there be in your faith and mine
that makes us brothers in fact, in act, and in spirit is godly. What-
ever divides us, whatever comes between us is unfair to both you and
me and is man-made. When, as individuals, we learn to love each
other, then the world's problems will have been solved. The tragedy
of man's inhumanity to man, for which some distorted minds find
sanction in the word of Holy Writ and in the name of Goda God of
Love, Creator and Father of us allthat tragedy will no longer darken
man's horizon, when we shall have returned to the fundamentals and
elcmentals of Religion.
I pray God to spare me, to inspire me with wisdom, that I may
continue the ::voice that crieth in the wilderness."

Do you have a plan for an accident or injury that occurs in your workplace? While the U.S. workplace has become a much safer place over the past century, accidents do happen. The latest data from the Department of Labor shows that nearly 3.1 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses were reported in the private sector in 2010. This is the equivalent of 3.5 cases per 100 workers. Even more disturbing, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that 4,690 workers were killed on the job in 2010.

But if you want to take advantage of business opportunities such as selling to the government (a.k.a. "government contracting"), then you have to obtain some form of certification. Why?

Do you think of yourself as a flexible employer or even just a nice one? According to a recent report by the California Chamber of Commerce (and covered here by OPEN Forum) – The Top 10 Things Employers Do to Get Sued – many small business owners may unintentionally be violating employment laws even as they are just trying to be flexible or nice. Much of the problem arises from the fact that state laws vary enormously. But some of these mistakes are universal and are often prohibited by federal law. The report is worth a read, but...

You've probably heard about the controversy surrounding employers asking job applicants for their Facebook user names and passwords as part of the background check process. It sounds shocking, but it happens – particularly among law enforcement entities – but even among private sector employers who feel they have a reason to go that extra step to weed out potentially undesirable employees. Unethical as it may seem, what does the law say about this? Led by the state of Maryland, which became the first state to ban employers...

Whether you're looking to diversify your product line or leverage cheaper-made merchandise, selling imported goods in the U.S. can be an important ingredient in small business success. Interestingly enough, importing doesn't always necessarily cannibalize the economy here at home. Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (cited in this USA Today article) suggests that for every dollar spent on a Chinese-made item, 55 cents goes to U.S. businesses for services such as marketing and sales. So Americans are...

Do you know how much privacy your employees are entitled to? For example, if you feel employees are abusing their work privileges, is it legal to intercept emails or phone conversations to find out what they're up to and confirm your suspicions? Can you ask potential job candidates for their Facebook profile log-on information? Here are some general guidelines that can help. Screening Job Candidate's Social Media Profiles There has been plenty of coverage in the media recently about companies and public sector organizations asking...

That will ultimately be the question asked about what kind of a future the German carmaker Opel faces.
Parent General Motors said on Thursday that it indeed wanted
to sell a majority stake in the unit to Canadian auto parts
group Magna and Russia's Sberbank, a decision long favoured by the German government under Chancellor Angela Merkel.
With about two weeks to go until a general election in
Europe's biggest economy, this would clearly be a political
victory — but the question remains whether it will also be an
economic one.
Merkel said that GM's recommendation — which would see
Magna's Brussels-listed rival bidder RHJ International losing
out in the battle that has dragged on for months — is going to
be tied to conditions.
Although she said that those conditions would be manageable and
negotiable, doubts remain about whether this will be the new
beginning the company is hoping for.

Start dates
The 6 Day & 1000 Mile Challenge will start on August 26th, the 72 hour on August 29th, the 48 hour on August 30th, the 24 hour on August 31st. And NEW for 2014... a straight 100 Mile event will take place - it will have a 40 hour cutoff and will start on August 30th at 7 am. An awards ceremony for the 100 miler, the 24, 48, 72 Hour & 6 Day events will be on Sept. 1st at 10am. The awards ceremony for the 1000 mile event (if anyone qualifies) will be on Sept. 13th at 10am.
That's right!!! New for 2014 and beyond... we will now offer a straight 100 mile race which will be run on the same 1 mile loop as all of the other races and will be even more of a challenge as we will only allow runners 40 hours to complete this challenge. The 100 Miler will have a special start time of 7am on August 30th.
Do you have what it takes?
The 5th Annual Silverton Multi-Day Challenge is actually 6 races in one. The 72 hour race will start on August 29th, the 48 hour on August 30th, and the 24 hour on August 31st. All events, with the exception of the 1000 mile challenge, will end on September 1st, with an awards ceremony to follow immediately following the conclusion of those events. All participants will receive a goody bag that includes a technical shirt, hat, and other goodies and donated items, if any.
Participants will set up camp near the Kendall Mountain Ski lodge at 9318 feet elevation and wear a bib tag around their waist. All runners must cross the timing mat at the base of Kendall Mountain, climb 250 vertical feet around a one mile loop as many times as possible in their allotted time. Participants will endure the elements of the San Juan Mountains around the clock as they fight sleep deprivation and possible heat, rain, lightning and snow. Runners can camp near the big tent where runners will cross the timing mat. There is a very nominal camping/parking fee of $2 per night that is included in your registration fee and goes to the town of Silverton.
The Silverton 6 Day Run is part of the Silverton Multi-Day Challenge and will be held on the same 1 mile loop as the 100 mile, 24hr, 48hr & 72 hour runs. The event will be chip timed and each loop will have 250 feet of climb and descent.All six day runners will be automatic entrants into the 1000 mile Challenge. There will be no additional cost to continue on in the 1000 Mile challenge but the amenities and aid will drastically change at the conclusion of the 6 Day event (meaning no race aid whatsoever, pacers or medical help - basically you will be on your own to finish as the Race Director watches to make sure you meet the continuing qualifications of the challenge). At the end of the six day event, you will have the option to continue on with the 1000 mile challenge (if you qualify to do so) or to stop and be content with your current distance. Note, though, that you will only be able to continue on with the 1000 Mile Challenge if you have accumulated a minimum of 350 miles and if you have run at least one mile each and every hour for the past six days, as well. We'll be keeping track!
The 1000 mile challenge will be run on the same one mile loop as the other Silverton Multi-Day Runs and will also be chip timed. Like the other runs, each loop will have 250 feet of climb and descent, which makes for a total of 250,000 feet of climb and descent for the 1000 miles.Experience the ultimate endurance challenge. Run or walk 1000 miles around the base of Kendall Mountain in the small mountain town of Silverton, Colorado. In a new twist on the infamous 1809 challenge to Robert Barclay, Silverton 1000 participants may complete as many miles as they choose each hour until they reach 1000 miles (based on specific cutoffs described above and below). While the 24 hour, 48 hour, 72 hour, and 6 day runs are all "go as you please" format, meaning you may run or rest when you choose, in order to be eligible for the 1000 mile challenge, you much complete at least 1 mile/loop of the course each consecutive hour of the event. In addition, there will be cutoffs in the 1000 mile challenge of 350 miles in 6 days, 700 miles in 12 days, and all 1000 miles in 18 days.Participants will set up camp near the Kendall Mountain Ski lodge at 9300 feet elevation and wear a timing chip around their ankle. Runners must cross the timing mat at the base of Kendall Mountain, climb 250 vertical feet around a one mile loop at the base of Kendall Mountain at least one time each hour. Participants will endure the elements of the San Juan Mountains around the clock as they fight sleep deprivation, heat, rain, snow, and the accumulated fatigue of traveling at least 24 miles per day. If a participant fails to complete at least one mile on the course in any one hour, they will be disqualified from the Challenge. In addition, in order to proceed on in the 1000 Mile Challenge - you will also have to complete the minimum mileage of 350 miles for the first 6 days and 700 miles in 12 days, to continue.Completing just one mile per hour for 1000 consecutive hours, it would take 41 days, 16 hours to complete the Silverton 1000 but to keep things interesting, we are only going to give you 18 days. Assuming it would take 20 minutes on average to complete the one mile loop, one would expect an approximate maximum of 1 hour and 20 minutes of sleep at any one time (by completing a mile at the beginning of hour 1 and the end of hour 2).
All 6 day runners will be given a specified area for sleeping in the heating tent - you will have access to a cot, a sleeping bag and the area will be yours for the entire race.All 72hr, 48hr, and 24hr runners will have the option of bringing your own tent to use (must be pitched in the gravel next to the main aid station) or you may rent a tent from us - a small 7x7 tent will cost $50 and a larger 9x7 tent will cost $75 (*not a 12x8 as shown at checkout). All runners will have access to chairs and tables set up throughout the aid station tent.In addition, some electric blankets and sleeping bags may be available for use on a first come first use basis. If possible, additional heating tents will be set up for the non-6 day runners (as in years past).

Last week highlighted the challenge posed to the Obama administration in dealing with the "new Egypt."
On Wednesday, the White House thanked Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's first civilian president and a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, for his "constructive" contribution to a Gaza cease-fire, implicitly affirming Egypt's role as a stabilizing force in a troubled region. Just one day later, after having proved his strategic value in much the same way his predecessor did, Morsi took another page from Hosni Mubarak's playbook by placing his decrees beyond any judicial review. Many Egyptians saw this as a power grab. Under pressure from the judiciary, Morsi this week appears to have partially relented. But the signal he sent, at home and abroad, suggests he wants near-dictatorial powers.

The project investigates the use of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning techniques to automatically measure the quality of user generated textual documents in Web 2.0, such as forum posts, Wikipedia articles, or blog entries. This can be utilized to recommend the user (e.g. the learner) high-quality materials, to implement quality-aware information retrieval, or to predict the popularity of web sites for computational advertising.
Video lectures, audio recordings, wiki content, and forum entries are often seen as separate entities. The goal of ASC is the integration of these multimodal content streams by combining techniques from Natural Language Processing and Human Computer Interfaces.
Feel free to download our ASC Flyer
The project investigates novel applications of dynamic lexical-semantic resources for information search in eLearning. On the one hand, we develop novel ways of mining knowledge from Wikipedia and other Web 2.0 knowledge repositories. On the other hand, we apply question answering in the area of discourse-based knolwedge acquisition in eLearning for the first time.
Feel free to download our QA-EL Flyer.
The SABINE project (German: "Semantische Assistenzdienste für die berufliche Integration und Persönliche Kompetenzentwicklung") develops methods to interlink the databases of recruitment agencies, personnel services and human resources departments by means of semantic methods. The UKP Lab's contribution will be in methods which extract semantic knowledge from domain-independent sources like Wikipedia by means of statistical text analysis.
The project aims to support easy exploration of subjective content and feedback generation to content providers. We develop components for subjectivity identification, opinion and topic extraction.
Feel free to download our SENTAL Flyer.
The primary goal of the project is to develop novel methods that individualize electronic documents through the manipulation of their textual content that is unrecognizable by a reader. The marks are supposed to be difficult to remove, and at the same time to have no recognizable affect to the meaning of the content. This solution will be embedded in an electronic document distribution environment and remain transparent to an end user.
The project is concerned with an ultimately new area in the situation-aware support of phone-base customer support: optimizing the work of call center agents through an automatic call monitoring and a dynamic selection and presentation of the relevant documents during the call. Our contribution is in the area of semantic document analysis and context-aware information retrieval.
Feel free to download our SIGMUND Flyer
This project systematically investigates the possible usage of semantic and lexical relationships between words or concepts for improving the information retrieval process. The main focus is on semantic relatedness measures using different knowledge sources (e.g. WordNet, GermaNet, or Wikipedia).
Feel free to download our SIR Flyer
The project investigates the use of semantic technologies to enable future business value networks. Our main focus is the use of NLP and semantic IR technologies to enable automatic service search and discovery as well as community mining methods to recognize opinions and trends about services.

The trailer gives away one big twist in the story, but even with that spoiled, a bigger one awaits far more cunning that elevates "Good Neighbors" above your standard thriller territory. Tierney's full of surprises; one is Baruchel's casting. Initially, it seems like the gawky actor is miscast; in actuality, he's perfect for the role.
From start to finish and even through its end credits, "Good Neighbors" is a compelling story of bad things that happen to young people. There's a shade of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" in it, but Tierney has structured it on a solid foundation built upon his own crafty ideas. He's one to watch. —Rod Lott

Before each cross country race, North Marion's Taylor Trowbridge asks coach Keri Bland for some last-minute advice, and every time the response is the same: "Hurry back."
"That's my advice," Bland said. "She's always looking for something really inspiring, but all I say is start when the gun goes off and hurry back."
Trowbridge must have listened Tuesday. The freshman finished third overall at the White Day Combo, her best place of the season.
"This is the best I've run so far," Trowbridge said. "And I'm going down places every time."
Kailee Latocha and Josie Jones also finished in the top 20 for the Huskies. Though they didn't receive any special advice from Bland, they will get something afterward.
"They told me I have to make them medals," Bland said. "They didn't give out awards this year, so I told them that I would make them an award."
The top team at the meet, however, went to Preston County, which had the top two finishers.
"I tried to keep up with the Preston County girls, but they're really fast," Trowbridge said. "They're good competition for me. I need good, fast competition to push myself."

This book was suprisingly complicated, yet easy to read. It takes place in the real world, with no fantisy, unless you count being placed about a million or two years in the future. About a boy/man of 15 years, this book explors the world of Mentat, or human/computer, training, the desert planet Arakes, the fremen, or natives of Arakes, the highly adictive and potent spice, and the effect all of this has on the boy/man Paul Atrades, heir to the Duke Leto and Oh so much more. If this made sence and you haven't read the book, then I'm scared. So, therefore, READ THIS BOOK 'CAUSE IT'S REALLY COOL!

i thought it was very cool. it was about these people who went to a desert planet and the main guy, Paul, survives an asationation attempt with his mother and joins a small band of fremen or desert dwellers. he survives to reclame the throne of the planet and kills the emperor. it did get kinda boring in the middle, though.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) A federal appeals court has affirmed the life sentence of an AWOL soldier who planned to detonate a bomb inside a Texas restaurant frequented by Fort Hood soldiers.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans denied Naser Jason Abdo's request to consider his initial detention by police a full arrest, which would have made it unlawful and rendered as inadmissible evidence and statements obtained at the time. The court Monday also rejected Abdo's argument that his trial was unfair because he was denied access to an expert witness.
Abdo was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky., when he was arrested with bomb-making materials in 2011. A federal jury convicted him May 2012 on six charges, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.

Keeping the borough litter-free is one of the goals of the Tinton Falls Department of Public Works (DPW) and Environmental Commission.
The two organizations are hosting a litter cleanup on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to noon, and are also looking for volunteers.
Interested residents should meet at the bus circle on Ellsworth Terrace and the end of the field behind Swimming River School. The area of focus for the cleanup effort will be the woods and field near the school.
Supplies will be available for all volunteers, thanks to a Clean Communities grant the borough recently received.
The cleanup is being coordinated by Gary Gebele, Director of the Tinton Falls DPW, Jeffrey King, of the Tinton Falls Environmental Commission and community volunteer Barbara Scott.

Morehead, Ky —
By request, I am retelling this true story, but be warned that it does not have a happy ending.
We had never laid eyes on each other. I had heard her first name but all I knew was that she was coming to live temporarily with one of my family members in another county.
To protect her privacy as a small child, I'll call her Sally, but that's not her real name, of course. In the three months I knew her, no one legally could tell me her real name and it didn't matter.
She didn't know me from anyone but the first time she came charging through my front door demanding to see her "papaw," I knew we would be pals.
She jumped up on my knee, mumbled her first name and said she was glad to see me.
I tried to say something back to her but it was hard to talk with that big lump in my throat.
Red hair, freckles, a huge dimpled smile and a twangy voice were her trademarks and she was a delight.
I often was amazed that she could be so warm and affectionate after being in what I imagined had been several different homes.
The first time we took her with our grandchildren to Cave Run Lake, she fell in love with our pontoon boat.
I teased my wife that I had girlfriends in the past whom I suspected liked me for my car but this was the first time a pretty gal liked me for my boat.
She was welcomed into our clan and her exuberance was contagious. She definitely knew how to communicate that she felt like she was a member of our family.
Some of my children kidded me that she had become one of my favorites because she never failed to rush up to me, arms outstretched and yelling "there's my papaw" on every occasion we would meet.
One day my wife and I were informed that Sally would be moving to another family's home. No reason was given and I knew I couldn't ask why.
But the worst part came that sad morning when my cellphone rang with a quiet little voice on the other end.
I managed to squeak out that I loved her and that I wanted her to grow up to be a good person and have a happy life.
If I live to be 100, I'll never forget her response:
"I wuv you, papaw. Bye."

YORK — The Yorkville Historical Society hosted several hundred people on a tour of historic Rose Hill Cemetery Saturday as it dedicated a new fence to mark the site.
York Mayor Eddie Lee, who led a dedication of a new fence at the front of Rose Hill before the group's Stories of the Stones cemetery tour, said the cemetery "pays tribute to the tested values and things that make us the community we are."
Members of the society, who wanted to give the cemetery a facelift, spent $11,000 earlier this year on a project to replace the chain-link fence at the front of the cemetery. The new fence has spaced brick pillars, joined by an aluminum fence with a wrought-iron look.
The first burial sites at the Liberty Street cemetery, in the center of the city's historic district, date to 1821. In 1875, the Yorkville Cemetery Association was created to operate and care for the cemetery.
The association still continues, operating with donations, and the cemetery, enlarged in the late 1800s, still serves as a community burial ground.
Gary Gross, a historical society member and retired contractor who oversaw the project, said the chain-link fence was an eyesore, and that it violated accepted guidelines for what is appropriate in a historic area.
Gross said the new fence is in keeping with the historic nature of the cemetery. He said there are remnants of wrought-iron fences surrounding certain gravesites, and there is a wrought-iron gateway leading into the cemetery. The new fence links to the gateway.
Because of the cost of the project, he said, the new fence crosses the front of the cemetery rather than extending all the way around.
The cemetery tour has been presented every two years since 2003, said tour chairman Ken Spaulding. The society researched and told the stories of 10 individuals or family groups buried in the cemetery. The tour aims to educate people about the community's past, he said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The commissioner for the Tennessee Department of Children's Services is asking for more than $8 million to hire new staff and make other improvements to the agency that has been highly scrutinized over children's deaths.
Commissioner Kate O'Day and her staff met with Governor Bill Haslam on Thursday during budget hearings for fiscal year 2013-2014. Haslam has asked state departments to develop plans for a five percent spending cut as a fallback.
O'Day said part of the money would be used to hire more case workers and attorneys.
"These are very high stress jobs for our staff. We're working with very complex family issues," O'Day said. "Many times we're seeing the next generation and the next generation."
The agency has released information that showed 31 children it had investigated died during the first half of 2012.
"We certainly want to preserve individual accountability for people. We have to be accountable for our actions," O'Day said.
Haslam said granting the entire $8.6 million request would be tough because of a tight budget, but said he understood the need.
Besides DCS, other agencies scheduled to present their budgets on Thursday include Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Labor and Workforce Development.
Proceedings can be viewed online at http://www.tn.gov.

Is this you?
You have been an avid PC user for years, but decided it was time to see what all the Mac hype is about. After the purchase you got it all set up, turned it on, and instantly felt lost. You looked at your PC wondering, "How can I ever use my Mac? Everything I need is on my PC…" So you turned the Mac of, and went back to work on your PC.
My guess is that with many PC to Mac "converts" it takes a significant amount of time to make the jump because who has the time to manually transfer all of your data over? And we all know how lame it is when you buy something and it takes a long time before you can really enjoy it.
Well PC to Mac converts, worry no more. We just released Laplink Switch & Sync™ "The Easiest Way to Switch & Sync from PC to Mac!"
With Laplink Switch & Sync, moving from PC to Mac is simple. Just install the software on both machines, connect them, follow the easy-to-use wizard and all of your files, folders, contacts, emails and calendars will be automatically converted and moved from your PC to your Mac. Yes, I said it, even emails, contacts and calendars! Switch & Sync works with Windows Mail, Outlook 200 and later and Outlook Express 6 and later to convert all of your data over to a Mac email platform such as Apple Mail and Entourage. This is a feature you can't find elsewhere!
I know what you are thinking, "But I still want to keep my PC and use them both." I am two steps ahead of you. Switch & Sync not only helps you MOVE from PC to Mac, it will also sync the computers together so you can use them in tandem.
Switch & Sync offers a number of synchronization options, so both of your computers stay up-to-date. Use the automated file sync feature to automatically synchronize your files and folders daily, weekly or monthly between the two computers. Or, use Laplink's classic dual-pane window to drag and drop files from one computer to the other. Our sync processes use SpeedSync®, Laplink patented technology, and SmartXchange Synchronization.
SpeedSync dramatically reduces the transfer times of modified data. It does this by only syncing the changed portions of files, which allows for fast synchronizations. SmartXChange will recognize when files have been deleted, renamed or replaced with streamlines the entire process.
Now that you know Switch & Sync is out there, dust off that unused Mac, hook it up to your PC and get going!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A moderately toasty nose fights somewhat with the spicy plum, cassis, warm earth and game suffused aromas. There is a plush mouth feel to the big-bodied and muscular flavors that display a discreet minerality before terminating in a firm, vibrant and quite serious finish. This extremely rich..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "If the Criots is the ripest of these grands crus, then the Demoiselles possesses the most elegant nose with a complex mix of white flowers, pear, stone, spice and citrus nuances. The impressively proportioned flavors are surprisingly approachable, at least in the context of a classic Chevalier..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Big and bold for the year, the tannins quite solid with a tight character. The fruit flavors are rich and intense, spiced with toast and acidity. Through it all goes the tell-tale 2007 streak of acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A densely fruited nose of considerable elegance and excellent freshness offers up notes of black raspberry liqueur, violet, plum and stone. The mid-palate is extremely rich with the same outstanding density of the nose as the amount of dry extract imparts a velvety texture to the balanced and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes An appealingly floral nose features notes of violets along with cool and pure earthy plum and red berry fruit aromas that are liberally laced with wet stone nuances. The taut and muscular broad-scaled and concentrated flavors are precise, intense and explosively long on the focused, dusty and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The mouthfilling flavors of dried cherry, currant and ripe pear are flanked by concentrated notes of allspice and dark chocolate. The finish unfolds with layers of candied ginger, pineapple and cream that are unctuous and complex."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "There is enough wood to notice though it doesn't fight with the mostly red berry fruit, spice and pungent earth aromas. There is ample size, weight, power, muscle and concentration to the big-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm but not hard..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a surprisingly soft, round, delicious wine that, while quite backward and tannic last year, now seems to be up-front, forward, and easy to drink. Much lighter than I remember, with less color saturation, the wine has a dark plum/ruby color and an..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The brilliant second wine, the 2006 Les Forts de Latour, a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, possesses a dense ruby/purple color, a beautiful bouquet of asphalt, cassis, cedar, truffles, and earth, and a full-bodied, dense, beautiful style that is similar to a 1996 Pauillac. It will..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Soft wood frames exuberantly fresh and expressive aromas of green fruit, green apple and pungent stone notes. There is outstanding volume and plenty of raw power to the tautly muscled large-scaled flavors that terminate in a focused, driving and wonderfully persistent finish. This is a big wine..

text: Ideally, governmental bodies would refrain from including prayers — even ecumenical, "lowest-common-denominator" ones — in their public proceedings. But if prayers are to be offered, they certainly shouldn't be monopolized by a single religious tradition. That is how the Supreme Court should rule in a case involving a town in New York state.
