---Kent State has filed a lawsuit against former basketball coach Geno Ford for the $1.2 million in damages for departing March 27, 2011, to become the coach at Bradley, who is included in the lawsuit. The suit was filed April 26 and states Ford had no permission to terminate his contract with Kent State, which he re-negotiated after the 2009-10 season and extended to 2015. A buyout clause was part of that agreement, equal to one year's salary ($300,000) for every remaining year on the contract.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Nine years ago, the Angel Network of Cooperstown started with an email list of 30 potential donors. The email list now has 400 potential donors, but the growth inside the club, which helps Cooperstown families in need, has been even bigger.
The Angel Network will run its largest fundraiser, "Masquerade" on March 2 at the Otesaga. The event is a masked charity ball. The group came up with the concept last summer when Cooperstown graduate Tyler Lee attended a fundraiser at the Ommegang Brewery.
"We wanted to do something more formal than the Ommegang event," board member Alyssa McGoldrick said. "(Tyler) worked at Columbia Records and he happened to be visiting and wanted to donate. Then he mentioned that he could get a big New York DJ for us. It gave us the inspiration for the event."
DJ Rob Flow, whose website calls himself a "workhorse in the NYC club hip hop scene" will play at the ball.
McGoldrick said the club started as a "reuse/recycle" email list after an incident during the 2004-05 school year.
A Cooperstown mother, who has asked to remain anonymous, was helping out at the school. The mother saw a little girl crying because her family could not afford to make her class cupcakes for her birthday. For the little girl's birthday, the mother made cupcakes for the class. She then began looking for other ways to help her neighbors, and set up the listserv account.
"When the economy changed, the number of families in need went up," McGoldrick said. "So we began having events with the thought of serving more people."
Last year, the Angel Network brought Christmas presents to 75 children in 38 families.
"We had 40 families that we reached out to, to see if they needed help," McGoldrick said. "Two declined, so we were going to help 38. When we sent out an email looking for sponsors, we had 29 groups step forward to sponsor families. The rest we were able to make up from our fundraising."
The group still sends out email messages looking for help for Cooperstown families in need, but it has expanded to other events. On June 29, it will again host the Tot Trot and 5k at the Clark Sports Center. In the fall, it will host a "My Neighbor's Closet" yard sale.
McGoldrick said she is pleased with the number of sponsors the group has cultivated.
"We even have one family that lives in Los Angeles, but summers in Cooperstown, that has sent a check to us," she said. "It is great to see the community pull together to help our members who are in need."
Tickets to the ball, which will take place from 7 to 11 p.m., cost $45 per person.

Associate Editor
A study examining retail activity showed declining sales in Clinton County from fiscal year 2012.
Per capita retail sales dropped to their lowest level since 1998 at $9,301, while real total taxable sales are at their lowest level since 1994 at a little more than $455 million, according to a recent retail trade analysis report by Iowa State University.
Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Nathan Sondgeroth said economies go through ups and downs.
"I don't have specific thoughts as to why the numbers would be down, because members still report strong growth in sales," Sondgeroth said.
The numbers reflect sales from fiscal year 2012, from July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2012. The study did not present information on businesses operating in the past 10 months.
Real taxable sales were down 3.7 percent from 2011 in Clinton County. Average sales per capita were down 3.5 percent from year to year.
The numbers have reflected a downward trend since 2008. In that year, Clinton County registered $11,332 retail sales per capita, a peak from continued increases that started in 2004. Since then, though, sales have declined, coinciding with a drop in population and increase in unemployment rate.
The increased retail numbers from 2004 to 2008 were during a time when the city of Clinton experienced growth through large retailers, like Kohl's and Home Depot. Former Chamber President and current Clinton City Councilwoman Julie Allesee said the city needed those big retail stores to keep residents from shopping elsewhere.
Leakage was the lowest in 10 years during the period from 2006 to 2008. Leakage measures the dollar difference between the county's actual sales and the total sales it could generate if residents satisfied their retail needs locally. In 2008, Clinton County registered an estimated leakage of minus $8.6 million. That was down from the estimated leakage of $100 million and $98 million in 2003 and 2004, respectively.
But that number has increased since 2008. In 2012, estimated leakage amounted to $88.1 million.
"When it comes to retail leakage, you don't approach it from a macro economic sense, but from a micro economic sense," Sondgeroth said. "These are individual consumers making rational choices of where to go and spend their capital. Communities think they can attack it from a a macro sense and will spend dollars here, but these are individual people making choices in their daily lives.
"But people spend dollars when they need a good or service. If they perceive that they can get that good or service locally, they will do that."
Another issue identified in the report is the estimated amount of shoppers in the county. During the peak years of 2007 and 2008, the county attracted more than an estimated 48,000 shoppers. In 2012, that number had decreased to an estimated 41,030.
The report linked Clinton County within a peer group of counties that had similar retail activities. Within that group of 15, Clinton County ranked ninth. The county's numbers ranked within the expected range for local sales per capita. The county has fluctuated from the middle of that range, which measures counties within the 25th and 75th percentile, from 2005 to 2012. In 2004, the county ranked below the 25th percentile.
"Do we have what they are looking for?" Sondgeroth said. "Do they know what we have? That's a product challenge and a marketing challenge. It's shocking how much you can get if you can shop locally. People don't fully understand or realize what you can get locally from retailers."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Ike Davis is royally struggling right now.
Through 29 games with the Mets this season, Davis has almost twice as many walks as he does hits. The numbers are just scary to look at.He has just 17 hits and a whopping 31 strikeouts in 102 at-bats. That's more than 30 percent of the time!
What's wrong? First of all, he has so much movement at the plate. His strike is way too early, and he brings his hands down before he swings. There's just too many nooks and crannies right now for him to get going. One thing that should be discussed is possibly sending him to the minors to figure it all out.
Even though he's batting down in the order, his presence is hurting the team. although the Mets do not have a viable option to replace him. The first idea would be to move Daniel Murphy to first and slide Justin Turner in at second. Ronny Cedeno will be the shortstop until Ruben Tejada returns from his injury.
What would you do with Ike?

The Henry County Lady Cats earned their first trip to the 8th Region tournament since 1998 on Feb. 26 with a win against the host Carroll County Lady Panthers in the 31st District Tournament.
The game was a defensive battle with both teams attempting to take away the top scorer from their opponent. In the end the Lady Cats had more firepower from their role players and came away with a nine point win despite leading scorer Cheyenne Clark being held to six points.
One of the first things you learn in Journalism 101 is that when reporting a story you must stay objective. How do I know this since I never took a journalism class in my life? Brad told me. He's our news editor and a real journalist, and he is always talking about objectivity in reporting.
The Henry County Wildcats took on the Gallatin County Wildcats in the first round of the 31st District tournament on Feb. 26 and came out with a 51-48 win in overtime to advance to the 8th Region Tournament.
The Wildcats got good free throw shooting in overtime and some clutch baskets from substitutes Dakota Estes and Nacona Jeffries to pull out a tough come-from-behind win.
The Wildcats led at halftime by a score of 21-16 but Gallatin County came roaring back to take an eight-point lead with 1:52 left in the third period.
The Eminence Warriors' four-game winning streak came to an end on Feb. 25 as the Owen County Rebels got a dominating performance from their super sophomore Carson Williams to beat the Warriors 68-53. It was also the end of the season for the Warriors as the loss came in the semifinals of the 31st district tournament.
Henry County High School placed three players on the North Central Kentucky Conference all-conference team for the 2013-14 season.
Sophomore Cheyenne Clark made the girls' team while seniors Austin Young and Landon New made the boys team.
The rest of the girls' team includes: Paige Black, Jessie Dunlap and Kaylee Clifford of Trimble County, Katie Cheek and Michaela Kennedy of Williamstown, Brooke and Hannah Dossett of Gallatin County, Shelby Mullikin and Allie Mills of Walton-Verona, Ashlee Gravely of Owen County and Lauren Moore of Carroll County.
The Eminence Warriors girls' basketball team played Owen County in the opening game of the 31st District Tournament on Monday night in Carrollton and came out on the losing end of a 57-6 score.
The 2013-14 basketball season has been a tough one for the Eminence Warriors boys' basketball team but in the last week the team has come together to play their best basketball of the season.
The Warriors got a six-point victory over the host Carroll County Panthers in the first round of the 31st District Tournament on Monday night for their fourth consecutive win.
The winning streak started with a win over Carroll County seven days before this victory but the two games couldn't have been more different.
The Henry County Wildcats jumped on the host Trimble County Raiders early on Feb. 18 and then cruised to a 67-57 win.
The Wildcats outscored the Raiders 21-8 in the first period before Trimble's Michael Dunaway put on an offensive show to keep his team close.
"We got up on them pretty good early," Coach Enoch Welch said. "We executed well on offense and our defensive schemes were working."
The Raiders got their offense going by hitting four 3-pointers in the second period to win the quarter 20-18.
The Henry County Lady Cats' senior night looked like it was going to be a great one but the Spencer County Lady Bears had other ideas. The two teams squared off in New Castle on Feb. 19 in a game that had to be rescheduled because of winter weather.
The Lady Cats scored the first ten points of the game and led 15-3 with 3:10 left in the opening period. Ashton Pennington had nine of the first 10 points on three 3-pointers in the first 2:10 of the game.
"I loved our intensity to start the game," Coach Todd Gilley said.

In an emotional groundbreaking ceremony, the process of building a new home for United States Marine Corps Sgt. Greg Caron began.
The ceremony included local politicians, representatives from Building Homes for Heroes, contractors, family, friends, and members of the community.
Caron said that you always see things like this on Extreme Home Makeover, but you never expect that it will happen to you.
"It's a miracle," he said. "This is a dream come true."
In less than a year's time, Caron and his wife, Nina, will have a new home on Abbott Road in Ellington that is between 2,800 and 3,000 square feet and will have lots of accessibility for Greg's new needs.
The home will be built by Nordic Builders of Tolland, who got involved when they heard about Caron's injuries. Liz Koiva, of Nordic Builders, said that she has known Nina since she was a child and wanted to get involved.
Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone every day with our free newsletter. Simple, fast sign-up here.
"We did it because Greg sacrificed so much for his country," she said. "We wanted to give back. Between us and the community, we can make a difference and give back. We hope the community will continue to support the project. The community has already wrapped their arms around Greg and Nina and we hope they continue to do that."
Andrew Pujol, the founder and President of Building Homes for Heroes, said that before the holidays, the company is going to gift 15 homes and that the goal is to give 30 homes by this time next year.
He said that when he first met Greg's parents and looked them in the eye, it gave him all the reason in the world to keep pressing on.
"They're wonderful, wonderful people," he said. "You can just see how much they love their son."
Greg's dad, Gary, spoke to the crowd, thanking everyone who has been involved in the project – and in all the support for his son. He also had special words for his daughter-in-law, calling her a cornerstone and noting how there wasn't a day she wasn't with her husband – even sleeping on an air mattress by his side.
"I give her credit for what she's done, " he said.
When Greg Caron spoke, he thanked everyone who has been involved in his recovery, and this project, and had special thanks for a fellow Marine who helped make this day possible.
Nina Caron had high praise for Building Homes for Heroes, saying, "Thank God for them."
"Things will be 10 times easier in the new house," she said.
In addition to the building of a new home, the Carons have exciting things going on as both have returned to Manchester Community College for school. Greg would like to be a physical therapy assistant and Nina is going for nursing.
This is an interest Greg picked up while at Walter Reed and having wanted to do something in law enforcement, needed to find something different to do since his injury.
"I enjoyed doing it and figured I'd give it a shot," he said. "Not only will it benefit myself, but it will be beneficial to other people."
Caron, who never stands still for long, has already competed in and will be taking part in the New York City one in November. His positivity has been an inspiration to all. He says it's all mental.
"It's just something that I have to do it," he said. "It's very easy to get down on yourself in my situation, and I've seen it. It's very important that you stay active because it clears your thoughts of what happened. If you don't stay active, you sit there and think about what you could have done, what went wrong, or why it went wrong. It eats away at you. It's very important that I stay active. It's a choice. It's all mental. You have to be mentally driven to want to do it and if you put your mind to it, you're going to be able to do it."

Great recipe. I took the advice of another and tossed the ziti with the sour cream before layering. I will NEVER skip this step. The noodles stayed creamy and delicious. I browned ground pork, used left over ground beef, garlic and onion. I didn't have provolone so topped every layer with parmesan. I didn't need 2 jars of sauce as others said they did. very good.
I wish I could rate this 10star!!! I made this exactly per the recipe, only change I made was extra cheese, my family loves italian cheeses, other that I did it exactly. I made this on friday night, and we have eaten 6 meals from this one dish! And it tastes better and better every time. My only recommendation is to use a 3 or maybe even 4 quart dish, for I used a 3 qt and it very nearly overflowed the dish, maybe cause of all the extra cheese I used! I will make this a regular menu item in my home, it was a huge hit!
Aside from a fabulous recipe, this was SO fast. My boyfriend raved about it and so did I. Made a nice 9x13 FULL of ziti. Great for a family style meal with several guests or a pot luck. Some tips: As suggested by other reviews I seasoned the ground beef with italian seasoning and added minced garlic. To give this recipe a real italian flare, I bought spaghetti sauce with italian sausage already inside so I didnt have to buy and cook sausage too. It turned out just right.. not too overpowering. I also added a small amount of the sauce to cover the first layer of ziti as suggested by another review and it came out perfect.. I think it might have been too dry on the bottom otherwise. A large skillet was too small for all of the spaghetti sauce. I had to transfer it to a large pot. An electric skillet might be big enough.. This recipe fills a 9x13 to the brim so make sure you dont use anything smaller. I also baked this uncovered on the center rack with no isses and the cheese came out nice and golden brown. Definitely will make this again!!

Opposums are actually an excellent animal to have around your property because they eat rats, mice, snails, slugs and insects. They also eat over-ripe fruit that has fallen to the ground. They are called "omnivores" because they meat as well as vegetables and fruit.
Opossums are nest builders. They are also nocturnal. They spend much of the day in their dens. At night, they forage for food. They are excellent climbers using all their hands, feet and tail to grasp.

I purchased a box of these balls and I was quite disappointed in the quality. It loses its shine within 5-10 overs unless very good care is taken of the ball and the seam also comes apart rather quickly as well. The Graddige Special Test (Red) is of much better quality for only $2 more.

A 24-year-old Council Bluffs man has been charged with murder in the death of a Glenwood woman, according to the Iowa Department of Public Safety. Chad Fortner was charged Tuesday with 2nd-degree murder in the death of 47-year-old Carol Meston.

"Success breeds success" is the motto of Marrianne Driml.
Driml certainly breeds success herself. She taught English, world literature and communications at Glenwood Community High School for 38 years, retiring in 2008. She coached the high school speech team for 31 years and still volunteers to help speech students.
"I know I've coached 100 to 150 people," Driml said.
Even a normally subdued fire chief had excitement in his voice talking about the Glenwood Volunteer Fire Department's new truck.
"We're tickled to death, we've never had anything like this since I've been around," GVFD chief Butch Fidler said. "It's too bad it wasn't ready in time for the homecoming parade."
Dale Lingle thought his 16-year-old son was simply sleeping off a late night of computer and video games when he found him still lying in bed in the middle of the afternoon July 18.
"He was a typical teenager. In the summer, he would stay up late on the computer and playing video games," Dale said. "I went in to get him out of bed and he didn't wake up."
More than two months after his death, Codie Lingle's family finally knows with some certainty what caused the death of their son and brother.

iced mocha frappe sound good to me hey y all
By Donna eichhorn on October 20, 2012
This is a great substitute for McDonald's since it's very cheap. But all the hot chocolate mix really hides the coffee flavor. It might be just me, but I like a strong coffee flavor with my frappes. Next time I'm going to use one or two packets of hot chocolate to bring out the coffee flavor. Other then that it's very good.

I'm so addicted to McDonald's Frappe' It is putting a dent in my bank account. So I made this this morning and it is very sweet the first time around so i am freezing another mix and will try the next batch with half sweet milk , half 1% milk...Hope I Like It!

Love this recipe! I blend mine with skim milk and it tastes great! I use 1/2 and 1/2 for my son and he loves it. It is also great hot--just warm your milk or 1/2 and 1/2 and of course do not put coffee/chocolate mixture in the freezer.

News Article
PT Barnum said it so long ago
There's one born every minute, don't you know
Some make us laugh, some make us cry
These clowns only gonna make you die
I knew the Dickies' Killer Klowns from Outer Space themesong before I had ever seen Stephen Chiodo's movie. The lyrics pretty much sum it up. They are adorably evil clowns from outer space hell bent on destroying the human race with the help of their killer cotton candy cocoons.
Movie: Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Year: 1988
Deadly Recipe: Ray guns that spew a cotton-candy substance that forms a cocoon around their human victims. After the captives have stewed a bit, they slurp them up through a straw. The Klowns also employ acid pies, fake pizza, and flesh-eating popcorn.
Chef: Destruction-loving alien klowns include Fatso, Spikey, Bibbo, Rudy, Chubby, Jumbo, Shorty, and Slim.
Culinary Kill: There are so many ways these Klowns can knock you dead, but I particularly enjoy the fake pizza delivery scene and the flesh-eating pie fight.
Leftovers: If you're amused a movie about human-munching alien clown puppets - and who isn't? - this is for you. It employs the silliest of jokes and despite their love of man juice (ew, I can't believe I just typed that), the killers are super-lovable.

Assemblyman Vito Lopez, leader of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, was censured Friday for allegedly sexually harassing two female Assembly employees.
The rare decision to publicly rebuke the Brooklyn Democrat was made by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who wrote in a letter that Lopez's alleged actions violated the chamber's Sexual Harassment/Retaliation policy.
According to Silver's letter, the incidents involving the two women occurred from early June to late July and "escalated over a period of time."
The letter gives details of several instances of alleged sexual misconduct by Lopez including inappropriate touching of a woman's knee and upper thigh as well as an unwanted sexual advance made by the Brooklyn Democrat during a trip to Atlantic City in July.
"I believe they are not true and they are unfounded and I disagree with the process," Lopez told the Daily News' Daily Politics blog.
In the wake of the censure, several elected officials called on Lopez to immediately resign from both the Assembly and his position as head of the Brooklyn Democrats.
"There must be zero tolerance of sexual harassment in all workplaces, always," said Council Speaker Christine Quinn. "Because of the seriousness of these findings, Vito Lopez should immediately resign from office and step down as chair of the Brooklyn Democratic Party."
According to a political insider, even if Lopez were to resign from his Assembly seat, borough District Leaders would still have to reach a consensus to force him out as Brooklyn Democratic chairman.
Joining Quinn in calling for Lopez to resign were Assemblyman Jim Brennan, Congressman Jerry Nadler and 50th Assembly District Leader Lincoln Restler, who has waged a campaign to dislodge the current leadership of the Brooklyn Democratic Party.
"It's shocking to believe one of my colleagues would behave in such an inappropriate way," Assemblywoman Joan Millman said, who added that the Assembly Ethics Committee voted 8 to 0 to rebuke Lopez. "It's upsetting as a female that a male legislator would act this way."
, the female Democratic leader in the 57th Assembly District, who is running to replace Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries in Albany, also called for his resignation, saying on NY1's Inside City Hall that the allegations are "extremely troubling, as it relates to, not only women, but the atmosphere and the environment that we create in the workplace."
"With that said," she added, "provided the allegations are true, yes, I think he should leave."
Alabi's opponent in the race, , the male Democratic leader in the 57th Assembly District, said on NY1 that the allegations are "grave and serious ... with some equally serious consequences affiliated with them" and that he would "hold off on making any public comments" until the borough district leaders met to discuss the issue.
Another Democratic challenger, Martine Guerrier, also called on Lopez to resign.
First elected in 1984, Lopez has represented his north Brooklyn district in the Assembly for 14 terms.
Over the course of the intervening decades, Lopez emerged as a leading voice in the party through his chairmanship of the influential Committee on Housing.
Silver's decision to censure strips Lopez of his post as chairman and takes away his seniority.
As the fallout from the allegations continued to gain steam, Lopez's girlfriend, Angela Battaglia, provided a rare line of defense for the embattled Democratic boss.
"I know Vito really well and they are the most aggregious [sic] false charges I could ever imagine in my 60 years of life," Battaglia told the News.
Will Yakowicz, Leah Novak, Amy Sara Clark and Zach Haberman contibuted reporting.

City police officer Brian Moran was off duty Tuesday night, but he came to City Council ready to do battle. Past president of the local and state Fraternal Order of Police, Moran is a seasoned veteran of the public arena, an imposing figure known for his ability to think on his feet. On this night, however, he came toting notes that would have served him well in Baptist Sunday School sword drill.
"I'm here for human rights," he said. "I've been doing my research. And if somebody'd brought up Leviticus, I was going to hit them with these."
He flashed a list of Bible verses enumerating human acts that are sanctioned—burning a bull on an outdoor altar as a sacrifice, selling a daughter into slavery, owning slaves as long as they're not from neighboring states.
"But I didn't need to do it," he said.
That's because City Council voted unanimously, and without discussion, to approve an ordinance prohibiting discrimination on the basis of ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity in hiring.
This means that the legislative body of this scruffy little burg on the reddest end of the state the punditocracy has dubbed "Talibanessee" is halfway to adopting an anti-discrimination ordinance. It will be adopted if it is passed on second reading at the May 1 meeting.
In a rare bit of only-in-Knoxville irony, one of the most active supporters of the non-discrimination ordinance is a close relative of gay-bashing state Sen. Stacey Campfield, whose sponsorship of the notorious "Don't Say Gay" bill and wacky theories about the origin of AIDS ("some guy screwing a monkey…") have embarrassed Tennesseans and gotten Campfield an overdose of national attention.
Paul Berney and Campfield are first cousins who get along, but don't agree about much, politically, Berney says. Does Campfield know that he's been lobbying for this ordinance for the past year?
"Not to my knowledge, and I don't know (what he'll say). My family's Catholic, and like Stacey I have a lot of love and respect for the church … What I was taught was that the church looks at sex not between a husband and a wife as a sin. Masturbation is a sin; sex outside marriage is a sin. If we're going to deny people privileges and rights based on homosexuality, maybe we ought to look at all that other stuff, if we're going to legislate morality. Bottom line, I don't think it's for the government to decide. As a taxpayer, I want the most qualified person doing the job, period. I don't care what they do on their own time."
Berney, a Green Party member who ran a credible, though unsuccessful, first-time campaign for City Council last year, says this issue has been important to him for some time. He and others in this movement have dedicated their efforts to longtime Green Party and human rights activist Norris Dryer.
"About a year ago, Norris asked all the candidates if they would do this, and Madeline was the only one who said yes. Everybody else got political about it. After she was sworn in, Norris brought this up again and I spoke with Chris Sanders of the Tennessee Equality Project and he came and did a workshop, which (Rogero aide) David Massey attended. He said the mayor had met with legal department and was already working on an ordinance. I called the mayor and we scheduled a meeting. She just said, matter-of-factly, 'I said I was going to do this and I meant it.'
"We were all shocked at how fast she moved on this. We did some research for her… some grunt work, but something I was thinking was going to take 8-10 months of arm-twisting was easy peasy. We walked in, talked with her for an hour. It was incredibly refreshing. I'd worked on the Living Wage campaign, which was very stressful. I had no idea how easy things are when the mayor is on your side."
Dryer, who worked at WUOT-FM radio for 34 years and is in his 44th year as a violinist with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, turned 69 this month and says his recent involvement in this issue has been limited because he is battling some serious health issues. He isn't shocked by how smoothly things are going, he says.
"The right-wingers in this town pretty much realize that progressives have taken over—the mayor and a majority of City Council. They are dispirited and know they're not going to get anywhere… I had a symphony rehearsal tonight and couldn't be (at the City Council meeting), but I will be there for the second reading. I have to pinch myself once in awhile to even think about this.
"Eight years ago, the idea of a lady mayor and especially one as progressive as Madeline would have been unthinkable."
Rogero and city Law Director Charles Swanson—mindful that the General Assembly last year struck down a Nashville anti-discrimination ordinance that, unlike the Knoxville measure, was aimed at city contractors—have crafted an air-tight instrument that won't give the Legislature much room to maneuver if they decide to attack it.
After the vote, Rogero reminded the crowd of purple-clad ordinance supporters that they need to show up at the next City Council meeting.
She got a standing ovation.
Berney says he doesn't believe that politics will impair his relationship with his cousin. After all, even though Campfield is a confirmed "birther" who signed on as a plaintiff in Russian doctor/dentist/loonybird Orly Taitz' lawsuit to pitch the president out of office for not being a citizen, he got Berney a ticket to the Obama inauguration. His only requirement was that Berney give him the ticket stub when he got back.
"He thinks it might be worth some money one day," Berney said.

Ruston and HornsbyTalk0
this wiki
Redirected from Ruston & Hornsby
Ruston & Hornsby was an industrial equipment manufacturer in Lincoln, England. They were most well known as a manufacturer of narrow and standard gauge diesel locomotives and steam shovels. They also built cars, steam locomotives and a range of internal combustion engines.
Ruston & Hornsby was a major producer of small and medium diesel engines for land and marine applications. It began to build diesel locomotives in 1931 (and continued up until 1967). It was a pioneer and major developer in the industrial application of small (up to 10000kW) heavy duty gas turbines from the 1950s onwards. Ruston still build gas turbines today, in Lincoln.
On September 11, 1918, the company of Ruston, Proctor and Company amalgamated with Richard Hornsby & Sons of Grantham to become Ruston and Hornsby Ltd. Hornsbys were world leaders in vaporizing oil engines, building them since 1891, a full eight years before Rudoph Diesel's engine was commercially produced.
The company were involved in production of a diverse range of products and by the 1930 following the depressed years of the 1920s after WW One they were involved in major restructuring of several companies.
Ransomes, Sims & JefferiesEdit
- Main article: Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies
A controlling share was purchased in the Ipswich firm of Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies, agricultural engineers. Rustons then transferred to them the manufacture of steam engines, threshers, and the other of smaller agricultural implement lines they produced. This move helped to revitalise Ransomes company and freed up production space for Rustons growing diesel engine business in the Lincoln factory.
Aveling BarfordEdit
- Main article: Aveling Barford
Ruston and Hornsby were involved in the deal to rescue Aveling & Porter and Barford & Perkins when the AGE colapse occured during the 1920s depression. Rustons refinanced the firms of Barford & Perkins of Peterborough, and Aveling & Porter of Rochester to create Aveling Barford Ltd. The deal moved the new firm to Grantham commencing production in part of the old Hornsby factory. To help them, Rustons transferred their road roller manufacture to the new company, with the new firm using Ruston engines in their Oil engined rollers. A-B subsequently became world leaders in their field for a period. A-B was later taken over by Leyland and merged with the Marshall Fowler operation to form Aveling Marshall.
Aveling Barford still survives after several restructuring's and take overs building Dumper Trucks as part of Wordsworth Holdings in the old factory.
Rail locomotivesEdit
The range of diesel rail locomotives was developed further during the war with special flame proof versions for use in ammunition depots and mines.
Military productionEdit
During WW II the companies heavy engineering capacity was in demand for both engine production from small low horsepower units for pumps and generators etc through to industrial power units for standby generators for factories and for navel craft. with the heavey excavator factories turning out Tanks and heavy machinery parts.
Ruston Gas turbinesEdit
Part of the original Ruston company went on to manufacture gas turbines and became as subsidiary of several firms over the years. The business was still based in Lincoln for many years. The Company entered the gas Turbine marked after the war when they gambled on the new technology developed for fighter jets. They recruited some of the development team and created units for use in package generating sets for the Oil & Gas industry.
English ElectricEdit
The English Electric Co. in November 1966 took over Ruston & Hornsby Ltd. Then two years later, English Electric were taken over by the GEC Group (UK not GE of the USA). This resulted in the break-up of the Lincoln company, with sections merged ith oter GEC subsidaries. The large diesels joined up with the English Electric Vulcan Works at Newton-le-Willows, to become Ruston Diesels Ltd. The Newton-le-Willows "Vulcan Works" had a history that went back to 1830, as the factory where Robert Stephenson produced large numbers of steam locomotives.
The small diesels moved to Stafford to become part of Dorman Diesels Ltd. The Paxman engines subsidiary continued to build engines and boilers in Colchester, as Paxman Diesels Ltd. At Lincoln, excavator building continued at the Ruston Bucyrus factory with Bucyrus-Erie subsequently taking control.
The former Ruston turbine division expanded under the name Ruston Gas Turbines Ltd., and they were strengthened by the move of the Napier Turboblower subsidary of GEC which was moved from Liverpool to Lincoln.

But they could not compete with the established tractor builders mass production lines low cost imports. Approximately 300 Ruston tractors were sold.
The Agricultural lines were Merged with Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies product lines during the 1930 reorganisation of the company.
In 1920 Ruston-Hornsby introduced the 16hp A-1 Tourer. with about 1300 Ruston-Hornsby cars produced between 1920 to 1925, when the cheaper Fords & other proved too much competition and production stopped (like lots of other firms who tried car production after WW I and were then hit by the depression)

If you're reading the Player's Strategy Guide, it's likely that you enjoy playing effectively at the table—building an interesting and powerful character, using your powers efficiently and wisely, creating compelling storylines, and working well as part of a team. If that's true, congratulations! You've come to the right place.
On the other hand, you might be struggling with the number of options available to your character. If you have difficulty deciding between one feat and another, or if your party can't seem to overcome the challenges placed in front of you by the DM, relax. We're here to help.
In this book, you'll find tips, tactics, anecdotes, and explanations, all designed to help make your games better. This book helps you optimize your characters, provides tips for managing character resources, advises you on solving age-old gaming challenges, and assists you in creating and managing effective adventuring parties. You'll also find ideas for how to create cohesive parties, how to enhance the capabilities of allies (buffing) and how to hinder the effectiveness of enemies (debuffing), and how to adapt your party's strategies to take advantage of the strengths of different combinations of characters.
The process of character design is one of the most enjoyable parts of any Dungeons & Dragons game. Some players are driven by a character's story. They research names and come up with elaborate backgrounds. Other players thrill to a mechanically optimized character who blasts through challenges with ease.
Most of us fall somewhere between these two extremes. We want a well-designed character who also has an interesting and compelling background. This chapter is for players in the middle of the spectrum. It guides you through the various aspects of character building and advancement, from the basics of your race and class to planning your epic destiny. It includes the following sections.
Some players begin the character creation process by thinking about their character's race, and others gravitate toward class choice first. At the risk of oversimplification, the former player tends to favor story over mechanics, and the latter often reverses those priorities. Since we have to start somewhere, this book handles class selection first, but you can easily jump back and forth between the sections depending on your preferences.
Regardless of which way you lean, you shouldn't make the two decisions independently of one another. Even though any race can pair effectively with any class, certain combinations offer significant advantages for your character.
This section guides you through the initial decisions that shape your character, including class, race, ability scores, and background. These selections influence all the later choices you make about character creation and advancement.
Ask a player to describe his or her character: Odds are that he or she uses both race and class in the first sentence. Why? Compared to your selections of powers and feats, your race makes only a marginal contribution to your list of mechanical options. Instinctively, however, players recognize the importance that the choice of race has on a character's identity. Race influences a wide variety of aspects, such as a character's accent, speech patterns, clothing, backstory, and feat and paragon path prerequisites. Even a character's name often owes a debt to his or her race: Someone named Tordek Stonewalker isn't likely to be an elf.
Just as your class choice often operates as shorthand for the party role you plan to assume, your race can act as a signal to other players about the personality you intend to depict through your character. Sure, you could play an ale-swilling half-elf who has a plaited beard and a predilection for living in caves, but if it walks like a dwarf and quacks like a dwarf. . . .
Before committing to a particular race, learn about any restrictions or alterations your DM has applied to the races present in his or her campaign setting. Even if elves are mechanically identical to the race depicted in the Player's Handbook, the fact that they live as slaves to hobgoblin warlords might influence your decision to play an elf rogue.
Beyond the story you want to tell with your character, a race's mechanical traits affect your choice of our character's race. Every race has a variety of traits that differentiate it from other races. However, these fall into a limited range of categories. When selecting your race, consider how each race's traits—ability score bonuses, racial powers, skill bonuses, and other miscellaneous racial traits—interact with your preferred class (or, if you're choosing race first, how they might guide your later class selection).

The earliest forms of Bossa Nova came about when Hollywood bassist, Harry Babasin, and Brazilian guitarist, Laurindo Almeida, met on the set of the movie, A Song Is Born, in 1947. They immediately hit it off and started fusing Brazilian folk songs and modern jazz. They eventually formed the Laurindo Almeida Quartet, adding Bud Shank on alto sax and Roy Harte on drums. They played around town and recorded two 10" LPs for Richard Bok of Pacific Jazz in 1953. Many jazz historians consider this the true birth of Bossa Nova and that it was the "brainchild of bassist Harry Babasin", quoted from 'The True Story of the Bossa Nova', Downbeat Magazine, 1962, by John Tynan.
Well... there are numerous mythologies describing how U.S. jazz musicians created Bossa Nova. At least in this story, one of the two is a Brazilian.
Almir Chediak's wonderful Songbook series (published by Lumiar Editora) gives a convincing look at the evolution of Bossa Nova. Besides the obvious contributions of Joao Gilberto and Tom Jobim, one has to credit the early influences of Custodio Mesquita, Norival Teixeira, Johnnie Alf and others.
Jazz musicians tend to think of this genre only in terms of notes and rhythms. I don't think that Bossa Nova would have coalesced without the highly poetic lyrics of Vinicius de Moraes. His extraordinary lyrics demanded an urban, artistic treatment. In my opinion, that elevated the genre to a much higher level.
The idea that Brazilian musicians could not have developed Bossa Nova on their own is absurd. The samba and chorinho had more to do with the development of Bossa Nova than American jazz.
There - I've said it.
David Manson
I agree with you David and I also have come across this blatant misunderstanding.
Bossa Nova has virtually nothing to do with jazz. Jazz did influence Jobim in his repertoire but as Jobim stated many times: "...it was Joao that introduced me to his lovely way of playing ballads, purposley out of tune and borrowing mostly from a slowed down samba rhythm..."
That's where Bossa Nova comes from. It is also primarily the invention of mostly one musician: João Gilberto
But yeah, I hear that quite a bit, "bossa nova is a form of jazz".... ;<) Right!
If anything it's a derivative of Samba, played much slower.
Here's a link that tells that interesting history:
Laurindo Almeida was a virtuoso Brazilian guitarist - he was NOT a jazz player. The experiment that took place in the early fifties was a FUSION of traditional Brazilian baiao rhythm and jazz - it was a blending of musical styles that was referred to as a "jazz samba". In Laurindo's own words, "As long as samba is in 2/4 and jazz is a la breve, why not put the two together?"
I have documents and recordings that verify the true history and you can deny it if you want, but the proof is in the music...
Oh yeah - and Laurindo took boxes of their albums back to Brazil in the early fifties and passed them out. "I gave copies to many of my friends," he said, "and it was given close attention."
Close attention, indeed...
Well that's very good that Laurindo Almelda was not a jazz player, sort of....don't ask me why that's not important I don't really know but it seems to be important for your post. Does it really matter if he was a jazz player or not, of course not and that misses the entire point.
As An analogy....The InkSpots were a popular quartet in the forties and had a song called Rock N Roll yes, they experimented with that rhythm and were a popular singing quartet back than. They recorded albums with this new genre of music. Rock N Roll was not a defined term in the forties, can we agree on that? It never caught on in the forties and early fifties for that matter. What happened? It took an unknown group who had never heard of the Ink Spots, speeded up the tempo a bit and added pronounced electrical guitar riffs.....what happened....Bill Haley and the comets 1955 with Rock around the clock! From then on we have Rock N Roll historians might say. I take it your familiar with Charlie Byrd's Brazilian goodwilll tour via the US State Dept. in 1960-1961. Yes, the Film Black Orpheus had a hit in 1959 Che de Sagude, I'm sure you're familiar with it. It was a hit in Brazil not much elsewhere. Byrd heard Jobim, Gilberto play and it knocked his socks off, his analogy not mine. The next thing Byrd is on a plane back to the US and introduces the music to his friend Stan Getz the rest is history isn't it. No disrespect to Laurindo Almelda his didn't catch on did it and is not exactly what we would call Bossa Nova at that time was it?
When the public "catches on" does not define the birth of an artform... period.
I'm not trying to take anything away from history - I'm just saying the history books are big enough to include all those who influenced the artform. Regardless of when the catch phrase 'bossa nova' was invented, it does not take away the fact that what the Laurindo Almeida Quartet did back in the early fifties, defined as a jazz samba, led to the eventual birth of bossa nova.
It doesn't, does it? Tell us, then when does an art form like a music style get birthed, when intellectuals in an ivory tower decide, perhaps?
We're talking about a music style here that is proportionaly successful by the amount of record sales it has. Do you still want to ignore that? Good luck. Last I heard punk rock has a very limited following how would you rate it's popularity? and by what method.....that's right Cd sales. It's low isn't it?
You can't taking anything away from history on this one simply because you were not around to influence it at the time were you? So, you want to add a foot note addendum to the historical record? Well, you certainly have that right, right here. But remember what you said and I quote :
"The earliest forms of Bossa Nova came about when Hollywood bassist, Harry Babasin, and Brazilian guitarist, Laurindo Almeida, met on the set of the movie, A Song Is Born, in 1947."
When I read that I just thought..... gee, another individual wanting to rewrite history. BTW "a song is born" is a good movie.
And I guess I'm going to make a blasphemous statement for you:
Mr.John Tynan of Downbeat magazine was dead wrong.
But I do understand how he could be wrong I'm just wondering if you understand how you could be wrong.
Gee Dave - you've really got a problem here. Just maybe you're wrong.
Frankly, your opinion is of no consequence to me. There are many jazz historians who agree with me, many in the jazz world have come to me for the real story.
So, undoubtedly, you will believe what you want to believe and I have reams of documentation and recordings to prove otherwise.

I missed the follow up responses by Von Babasin. Perhaps the problem is that there are two Bossa Novas. One is the real thing in Brasil and the other is the packaged U.S. version, familiar to more Americans.
Laurindo Ameida was a great Brazilian guitarist, but he didn't invent Bossa Nova. On those early recordings he plays guitar like many other Brazilian pre-Bossa Nova MPB and choro guitarists. It's finger-style Brazilian guitar. If you listen to the recordings of Noel Rosa (who died in 1937), you will hear the same approach to guitar... decades before Bossa Nova.
The rhythm section in those Laurindo Ameida recordings certainly doesn't sound Brazilian. The time is often a mess in those Creed Taylor (and similar) recordings. There is no balanço, the Brazilian swing. The drummers lock into one bossa nova groove on brushes ad nauseum and the bassists lack fluidity. The horn players lay back on the time and swing like they are playing U.S. jazz.
Sadly - that became what most (and I mean 99.9%) of U.S. musicians think that Bossa Nova sounds like. Good Brazilian drummers cadence phrases and subtly change their patterns throughout the songs. They don't play even sixteenth notes and the same pattern throughout. Brazilian bassists understand the surdo and its primary importance.
Then there is the concept of song. Bossa Nova was (and is) popular song. Without the voice, you don't have Bossa Nova. Perhaps "instrumental jazz recordings with a flavor of Brazilian music" was an awkward title for this music. You can't even call it "samba jazz" because most of it had rhythm sections with little understanding of bateria and samba in general.
It made Stan Getz rich (not Astrud Gilberto) and boosted the careers of those Brazilian musicians who came to the U.S. When I hear the reference to U.S "jazz critics" validating this expropriation of Brazilian culture, it reminds me that U.S. Exceptionalism has deep roots.
Jazz had about as much influence as Chopin did in the development of Brazilian Bossa Nova. Jobim liked both.
It's very impressive that Von's father played on these sessions, but they were not Bossa Nova. If you want to hear the real thing, listen to João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Nara Leão, Carlos Lyra, Elizete Cardoso, Edu Lobo, Nana Caymmi, Marcos Valle and others (even some Elis Regina). The first true Bossa Nova recording was Canção do Amor Demais.

Does no one know that the united states, in 1965, precipitated and supplied a military coup that, through torture, murder and intimidation, oppressed Brazil's culture and political freedoms for 20 years?
Now that's what I would call ironic!
