Kevin Harris is an unusual ex-con. Not only does he cop to the crimes that got him sent to prison when he was 18, but he contends that getting locked up was the best thing that ever happened to him.
That's right. With the pride of an Ivy League graduate and an enthusiasm usually reserved for recommending a restaurant or movie to a friend, Harris told me this week how going to prison for larceny probably saved his life. "If they hadn't got me then, I would've gone eventually anyhow. But it would have been for a more serious offense."
At the least, he figured, it saved him from a much longer sentence than the five years to which he was sentenced in 1986.
"I was messing around with drugs, I was carrying a gun, I was running around with a rough crowd," he said. "They've got mug shots online, and every so often I'll go and look to see who's been arrested. … I see a lot of the same faces I used to run with. It didn't change for them. I've got no reason to think it would've changed for me."
Class of 1987
Harris wrote to me in response to a column about my foiled efforts to visit prison inmates, to chat or teach them to read and write. He wrote, "While not trying to be smart, if you really want in, it's really not that hard."
The dude knows whereof he speaks. "I am an alumnus of the N.C. Department of Correction, Class of 1987," he began. "I could easily say I was unjustly imprisoned, but the reality of it is I deserved to be there."
Harris was sentenced to five years for breaking and entering and larceny, but was released after nine months.
"I learned more in the nine months I was there than I did in the 12 years of public education I had," Harris said.
What was the main lesson? "That there was no way in hell I wanted to go back," he said.
"Nobody really came and talked to us," he said. "I turned myself around pretty much on my own. I went to school (in prison) for just a little while, mainly because it was something to do other than sit in a cell. … I ended up being a maintenance man and worked on a road crew."
Harris said that on his first night in a 72-man dorm full of "nothing but arms and elbows," "I basically sat down and considered my circumstances and made myself a promise right then that I was not going to be in there again."
Out of a job
He has kept that promise, but now finds himself in a different type of cell: that of the unemployed ex-con. This one may take more than nine months to exit.
"I worked very hard and found some opportunities and leveraged them into increasingly better jobs. I went to college and graduated with honors. I got a good white-collar job and continued to leverage it into higher and higher levels of responsibility and salary. I did not conceal my past when I was hired and made sure that I was completely transparent during the hiring process."
But he lost his job recently, and he thinks his criminal past may have played a part.
"I can't prove it, but after 13 years and four promotions, I was terminated from my job. This happened two days after I returned from paternity leave from the birth of our first child," Harris said. "I am now an unemployed convicted felon with a family to feed who cannot find a comparable job in a market where even those without the extra burden of the criminal background have a hard time."
Yikes. If you're willing to take a chance on a new father who's an ex-con – albeit an honest one – and have a job for him, drop me a line. I'll pass it on to him.

The Nebraska State Fair has announced plans for a $5.4 million building that will provide exhibition space and headquarters for the State Fair staff.
State Fair Executive Director Joseph McDermott said that the Nebraska Building will be the "final piece of the original Nebraska State Fair building complex plan."
McDermott says construction should begin within 30 days and be finished by the end of the year.
The building will be erected just inside the main State Fair Boulevard entrance. It will have 54,000 square feet of exhibition space on the ground level and 10,800 square feet for offices on the upper level.

Comments about BILLABONG STEP OUTSIDE SHORT:
I have a size 24 waist and this small was way too big for me. I'm obssessed with the design, material, and concept of the shorts and I would love it if it fit me perfectly, but it was way too big on me. I would suggest it to be a elastic waistband.

1. Panel 9 (or Row 3, third panel if you prefer): It sure looks to me like Parson has opened that blue Carnymancy scroll and is reading it. Interesting eh?
I thought that at first, too. But it is actually the location of Parson's bracer that makes it look like the scroll is open. I think he is just doing some calculations.
Aww dang it . . . i think you're right. Poop.
BLANDCorporatio wrote:Was the plan to remain in a city with no portal though? If it was, how come nobody mentioned it?
I've already traced that chronology. There's a huge interval in there, after the announcement that Parson is due, when everyone just twiddles their thumbs and ogles the tapestry. So there IS a need to explain why nobody saw a flaw.
Klog12 wrote:So what happens if Stanley is croaked? He has no heir, so our Side ends. Field Units disband and this city becomes "neutral," which is not as nice as it sounds. Units here freeze in time. Ansom takes a few turns to get his ducks aligned and then curb stomps us.
Theswerd wrote:And to those who think it insane that our band of leadership missed the whole "Portal bye bye" issue, When your heart is pumping in the thrill of taking a city, even when you have time to deliberate, you miss things. the question is going to be more of wether you miss the lone soldier who escapes to send word of the fall, or the giant cwap dwagon that is about to ... aheh... rain on your parade. And ANtium is, it seems, very very battle experienced. Wanda has come from TWO losing sides. Faq was crushed, though she is arguable not from that side,it still is part of her experiance level. GK was losing until Parson showed up. She has a lot of experiance losing, and little experiance winning. And NO expierence with taking a capitol city or killing a King. I have a new job right now, and while I have been in the company three years, and used much of the same programs I deal with right now, I am still blindsided by the new things I have to know for the new job. It would simply have never occorred to me that you could do things *this* way, or that *this* could foul up the workings of the program. I think given her lack of true expierance, we can forgive Wanda her oversight.. this once. Fool me once... shame one you...
Kreistor wrote:Lamech wrote:The portals goes because right now the tower goes then the king goes, and that ends the side. No side, no capital, no portal. Also probably the reason they didn't consider the portal closing when the tower fell. It would be the equivalent of worrying about what happens if the enemy decides to commit suicide. The king should have been long gone.
A City whose King dies does NOT immediately become the property of anyone who's nearby. The City becomes Neutral. All un-Sided Units are trapped inside and will wait until a Side captures the City. That's from a Klog in Book 1.
That's why Bea evacuated her Capital when she died. It prevented them from becoming Neutral, then attacked and converted to Decrypted.
BLANDCorporation wrote:"We want outcome {Parson in Spacerock}". For better or worse, Parson accepted the battle risks. He wants to get to Spacerock, his Casters want to see him there. Yet, they don't realize that their actions might jeopardize that goal.
BLANDCorporation wrote:It is about basic stuff like "we want outcome A, but our action X may make said outcome impossible".
JackInTheBox wrote:The question, "how might we survive?" was the wrong one to ask. Parson had ignored it for, "how might we still win?" In answering the greater question, the lesser was also solved
BLANDCorporation wrote:There's two parts to this. Parson wants to get to Spacerock, for better or worse. Fine, lets grant him that. However, did he really plan to be stuck there until/unless Stanley switches capitals? (My guess is no). The second part is that since Parson wants to get to Spacerock, the way there better be open. Again, this slipped.
Parson wrote:Wanda needs to be one of the survivors. If she is, then she can get up and decrypt all of our casualties and theirs.
If not... you're off the hook. There'll be no point in going through the Magic Kingdom.
BLANDCorporation wrote:bpzinn wrote:The issue is NOT "You do not risk your CWL anymore than he WANTS to," it is "You do not risk your CWL anymore than he NEEDS to"
Yes, I'm sure Wanda started demolishing the tower with the planned intention to block Parson's access to Spacerock. Uh-huh.
BLANDCorporation wrote:bpzinn wrote:6. GK has NOT captured all Garrison areas.
Regardless, Jack realizes now that OOPS, there's a serious chance the city will lose its capital status at any moment, so that argument is invalid.
BLANDCorporatio wrote:Was the plan to remain in a city with no portal though? If it was, how come nobody mentioned it?
gameboy1234 wrote:Just a quick note: technically the city goes "barbarian," not neutral. I'm not sure exactly what the difference would be, but Rob's been pretty consistent using that term. I think it's just that Barbarians attack anyone, and "neutral" would imply non-aligned but also possibly non-hostile. I suppose it might be possible to negotiate a truce or alliance with a barbarian, but I'm not sure how that would work.
DevilDan wrote:Does the fact that there was an extant heir in the case of Faq make the difference?
Kreistor wrote:BLANDCorporatio wrote:Was the plan to remain in a city with no portal though? If it was, how come nobody mentioned it?
Probably because Rob overlooked that he hadn't mentioned it yet. Do you find it remarkable that a couple weeks after we began talking about Parson escaping through the Portal back to GK, suddenly we get a comic where the Portal's limitation to one per Side suddenly appears?
BLANDCorporatio wrote:zuche wrote:What we have here is entirely new ground. In Erfworld's history, when has a side endangered one its units by achieving victory -- while that unit isn't even at the battle? Delightfully, the realization only comes about as a result of Antium's confusion.
Even if "new", that oversight is beyond bizzare. It is obvious enough for Antium to point it out now, it's weird that nobody thought of it sooner.

Lamech wrote:That appears to be the case. As for why nobody mentioned it: Chief Warlords are supposed to be with the main army. Its what they do. Their main purpose in fact. Lets look at some examples. Ansom, with RCC. Ceaser, with main TV force. Duncan, with main force. Stanley, with main dwagon airforce. Haggar, prince is with main force. Ossomer, went to front lines against Haggar. There is no reason for anyone to point out it out. It would be like saying "Hey, you're employed by Wal-Mart so why are you driving to Wal-Mart in an employing outfit?"
zuche wrote:The reason Antium pointed out the problem is because he's the only one of the three that hasn't grown accustomed to thinking, "If there's a problem, Parson can take care of it." Thankfully, Jack tend to be a bit more flexible than that.
You say there was ample time to realize the problem. Since they have realized the problem, you are correct. That said, how many turns passed before anyone realized that it was possible to greatly exceed normal movement limitations by switching mounts? It's as obvious in hindsight as the number 0, but that is the nature of oversight.

Finally had to mess around with Windows 8. It's lipstick on a pig. The pig is a bit more svelte and fleeter of foot, and installation is faster and a lot slicker. Underneath the hideous new Fisher-Price user interface, though, it is still basically Windows 7, more or less, so there's that.
They arbitrarily broke some things for no apparent reason other than punishing developers for using their platform. Too bad if you have "legacy" apps and the developer has gone on to the great data center cubicle in the sky and taken the source with him/her.
I'm guessing there are still some bugs to work out, but they appear to be on it. I used a final release DVD from our Developer Network subscription, and immediately had over 500MB of updates and fixes to download. And it only came out on Oct. 26th.
Unlike Windows 7, which was a huge improvement over Vista and an instant no-brainer upgrade, we won't be upgrading our mission critical PCs to Windows 8 any time soon. The new system fonts are pretty, though.
I don't think I will be
I don't think I will be putting that thing on a PC that I actually mean to use. I've heard that they at least made it pretty easy to go back to Winders 7 when the user becomes un-gruntled but I bet that option doesn't exist for new machines.

Different musical instruments can produce sounds in very different ways, but all of them take advantage of some of the fundamental properties of sound - the physics of sound - to make a variety of interesting and pretty sounds. The activities in this module explore some basic concepts of sound wave physics (acoustics) while demonstrating how musical instruments produce different sounds.
Suggested uses for this module
- Science - as part of a unit on sound, waves, or physics
- Music - as part of a unit on music or musical instruments
- Art - for a music-oriented craft project, you can emphasize the construction part of the activities, add decorations, and de-emphasize the investigations
- Field Trip - as an introduction or follow-up to a field trip concert or classroom demonstration of instruments.
You can do any one or any combination of the activities. While doing them, introduce whichever of the terms and concepts you think will benefit your students. You can either use only the scientific terms, or only the musical terms, or both. To reinforce the concepts and terms, follow the activities with the worksheets in the concepts section.
Use the discussion questions during and after the activities to help the students reach conclusions about their experiments.

An attorney for Bobby Brown has entered a no contest plea for the singer to one count of drunken driving stemming from an arrest last month.
City attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan says Brown was sentenced to three years of informal probation and a 90-day alcohol education course.

Brown's attorney Tiffany Feder entered the plea Wednesday and confirmed the remaining driving under the influence count was dismissed.

Sorrento, Capri Restaurant Recommendations
In Capri - Da Giorgio. Great food, great view, friendly staff
re: wincountrygirl
re: Jamin01
In Sorrento, we ate at Rubinacchi, outside of the Hotel Eden. It was great with very good prices. The pizza there was excellent....4 euros or so depending on type....pastas were in the 7-10 euro range I believe. We had an excellent pasta with seafood, pasta with shrimp, zucchini and zucchini flowers, stuffed artichoke, stuffed zucchini flowers and fresh strawberries with lemon. Can't wait to go back to Sorrento and eat there. There is an outside garden and inside area. The night we were there it was filled with Italian families.
re: Jamin01
In Capri I had a great meal at Il Riccio. It's located right on the water, above the Blue Grotto. Gorgeous setting.
Another new place is restaurant at the Capri Tiberio Palace hotel. High end, but again, gorgeous setting. The food was fantastic last season, but haven't been there this year so I don't know if the chef is the same.
There are several great pizzerie on the island. Here is an article which is a round up of the best, plus pictures. It's in Italian, but the list is helpful. It's by a very dependable Italian wine blogger:
Hope this helps!
We were just in this area and went to a mix of very high end (Don Alfonso, La Sponda, Il San Pietro) restaurants and mid-priced, more casual places. For middle price range with great food and good atmosphere, I would recommend the following:
Positano: Da Vincenzo (try walking there after a drink at Palazzo Murat and a visit to the Church), Barilotto di Nonno (spaghetti with clams with chili oil is divine!) - walk there after a drink on the terrace at Hotel Il San Pietro.
Sorrento: La Basilica (yummy pizza/good wine list) ...AVOID IL BUCO - Pricey and bland with mediocre service.
Capri: Da Gelsomina in Ana Capri (home made pastas, fresh veggies, amazing views)
In all 3 places, AVOID the beach front restaurants by the docks. There is nothing worth trying.
Il San Pietro
Via Laurito,2, Positano, Campania , IT
I was in sorrento two weeks ago. Great and mediocre food. Walk around off the beaten path is best. Look at the menus and you also will be able to see the plates being served to the customers.
Sorrento, Pizza Da Franco - Corso Italia 265 Town Centre.
Capri, Trattoria Vergimiello. Via Lo Palazzo,25/A,Capri. Great prices, food and view on the cliif of Capri. Photos below

Sorry this post is so late but for next time anyone is in Sorrento there is a small pizzeria called AHUM attached to a bowling alley next to the HILTON Hotel, he is an award winning Pizzaola, this is a very inexpensive local pizza place but is the best pizza I have ever eaten.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Peterson/Gerhart gash Packers' defense for 237 yards
Green Bay --- Getting off the field has been a problem for the Green Bay Packers' defense these last four weeks.
On Sunday, it cost the team a win.
After Mason Crosby's chip-shot field goal in overtime, all the Packers needed was a stop on defense to win. Instead, Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart continued to gash Green Bay's defense. In all, the two combined for 237 yards on 40 attempts. The Packers had no answer.
"I'm sure it gets super boring for you guys to hear," inside linebacker A.J. Hawk said, "but the run defense, run offense, there's no special potion, there's no secret to anything. Those guys lined up, they didn't try to trick us. They lined up and gashed us and ran the ball downhill. They have two great running backs in there, a great fullback and their offensive line and tight ends play great.
"You just have to find a way to have your gap integrity, especially when you're playing a guy who's as good as Adrian. If you peek one time back into something that's not your gap, just to try to make a play, he gashes you. He gets you. You just have to find a way. Today, we didn't."
On third and 9 in overtime, Peterson gained 15 yards on a draw. Gerhart gained 30 more yards. And Blair Walsh was able to tie the game up at 26.
Multiple players said after the game that gap integrity was the problem. The Vikings were able to create some confusion with a receiver or tight end in motion. And too often, Peterson was able to bounce to the edge of the defense or Gerhart simply gashed the team right up the middle.
Sunday was easily the defense's worst game against the run this season.
"Obviously you're going to have your missed tackles against A.P., trying to minimize those as much as you can," Clay Matthews said. "But stay in your gap, you look at the big plays, it always seems that he's good enough to exploit you when you're out of gaps. That's kind of been the theme when we've given up too many yards rushing. I'm sure that'll be addressed. You know he's going to make his plays, but not that many."
Peterson is the 2012 NFL MVP. But Gerhart? A player who had 11 carries heading into Sunday?Defensive lineman Mike Daniels was quick to say the former Stanford back is a lot better than people realize.
"He's not a bad football player," Daniels said. "And I think he deserves a lot more credit than he's given. So he's definitely playing good football this year. People need to give him more credit than what they do. I understand, playing behind Adrian Peterson, he's kind of in his shadow but he definitely came to play today."
A run defense so stout early this season -- shutting down the likes of Reggie Bush, Frank Gore and Ray Rice -- is now reeling.Players are scratching their heads. They're not sure what has happened.
"I couldn't tell you," Daniels said. "The best thing I can say is we have to go back to the tape. You never really know when you're in the heat of the moment. After you watch the tape, hindsight is always 20/20. That's the beautiful thing about this game. We can watch and learn."

Two words sum up a good portion of the problem: Johnny Jolly.Hide replies
One is even better.
SOFT is to kind a word for this pathetic bunch. Hey Daniels, watching the tape isn't gonna help. You been watching tape for 4 straight weeks and getting pushed around and gashed for 4 straight weeks. Undisciplined, poorly coached, fat, slow and uninspired, This defense stinks from top to bottom. If capers is not fired after this latest fiasco....... Give Kevin Greene a shot, he cant do any worse. How about some articles about the great TT draft and develop only strategy. What joke
Mentally weak.
Even better yet, does the mentioning of the name "DUMB CAPERS" come into play for any of you.... IT damn sure does for me.
At years end Capers will be replaced, and to absolutely has
got to go.
Maybe a little... But you have talented athletic guys there that have played this D well earlier in the year. And they know they have backup QB's that really need their support.
That's why SOFT works better as a description. It's the only way to get the discrepancies to fit together.
It's simple.
SOFT.Hide replies
its simple...they suck!!!!
They don't, actually. That's why it's so wrong. "Suck" would mean bad in every respect. They're not. They just don't care, and don't really try.
They lack pride, and depend on AR for their motivation and reason to be. So SOFT is a better description.
Leptodea: Your right no Pride. They should turn their backs when they take their pay checks.
soft and or because reliant on the 35 points per game everybody expects of the AARON RODGERS OFFENSE. maybe the problem is the delay in naming some portion of a street for mashed potato mike for "his" super bowl win .which 95% of the "owners" couldn't find with help from the cia
i dont care if gerhart is a solid player mr mike daniels. i dont care what tape you watch. ur defense is slow, fat, out of position, no leadership and a crappy defensive staff that has no clue how to adjust or motivate. lions will trash us because this defense sucks so bad for 3rd straight year.Hide replies
In other words - poorly coached. I do wonder if there is a lack of accountability among the defensive players. How can they keep doing the same stuff week after week without realizing it's not working?
"On third and 9 in overtime, Peterson gained 15 yards on a draw. Gerhart gained 30 more yards. And Blair Walsh was able to tie the game up at 26."
pretty much all we need to know about our pathetic defensive unit coaches on down....disgusting and terrible. i cnat wait to watch the lions shred this team on t-day so finally finally MM will have zero choice but to fire this idiot Capers.....
"We can watch and learn"... ?
Luv ya, Mike Daniels - you're one of the few bright spots for this SOFT D, so you get a pass.
But, what's to learn when you already had it down several games ago? And if you're watching, that means it already happened and the challenge is lost.
Soft... spread it; early and often.
i am not joking when i say this as i dont have the stats in front of me but this defense has to be wrost in NFL. maybe not stats wise but heart pride whatever they r terrible. i really would take jagaurs defense over this one.
excuse my spelling as this defense has me so angry how they can be this badHide replies
They aren't; "bad" implies un-athletic and not able to match the physical talents of the opponents. We've seen enough to know that's not true.
Repeat after me: SOFT
Yes! SOFT they are....
Oh, ho ho.. they SAY they don't read the blogs, media, listen to the heads.. blah blah. But yet, they somehow knew everyone was calling them SOFT last year.
How did that happen? They must be psychic, I say... or just SOFT.
It is amazing that a half ton of fatties on the line can be moved around so easily. SOFT!!!
The only positive from this performance is it likely gives the Vikings misguided hope that they have a pretty good offense and over rate themselves based on the pathetic defense the Packers have put on the field. In truth the Vikings are awful and should been trounced today. I hope there will be a total house cleaning of the D in the off season.Hide replies
Unfortunately, Quail, due to the Packers/TT draft and develop philosophy, there can't really be a housecleaning. True, they can fire Capers and some or all of his staff. But unless you have ready made replacements available (and as we are seeing this season, they don't), you have to be willing to sign free agents or acquire veterans and TT doesn't operate that way. So bearing a few modest changes in the D, what you see is mostly what you get in '14
2-4-5 lolHide replies
A soft alignment for a soft defense, so to fully express their softness.
The Packers just aren't that talented on defense despite what the Apostles of Ted may tell you. They're soft and and not goodHide replies
They are talented; we've seen it. But the SOFT overrules all.
A great example of how soft our D is , just look at Bush as he completely turns away and avoids AP as he goes in for a TD. Reminds me of last years Williams back turn on AP. Soft safety's and DB's every year and a poor Capers scheme equals losing seasons. When do the apologists stop making excuses for this Capers led D and soft personnel?
Why is Bush still on the team/
the eternal question pine

The Failures in the Ohio School Shootings
By Leslie Marshall |
When I was a little girl, my mother used to sit in her car directly across from where I waited for the bus to go to our town's public school. I was embarrassed and wanted her to leave. The kids made fun of me. The bus stop was around the corner from our house, why was my mother so over protective?

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series in which America's leaders reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. The first leader interviewed for the series was Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a civil-rights icon. Following are edited excerpts from the interview.
Where were you and what were you doing on August 28, 1963?
On August 28, 1963, I was a speaker at the March on Washington. I was a young man, only 23 years old, and I had just been elected to chair the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, also known as SNCC. I was a student leader, and my speech represented the sentiments of the [movement's] student activists.
All of the leaders of the so-called "Big Six" civil-rights organizations who attended the march stayed at the Capital Hilton on 16th Street—except Dr. King, who stayed at the Willard Hotel.
The morning of the march, we got up early and made a trip to Capitol Hill to meet with House and Senate leaders on both sides of the aisle. We met with Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, House Minority Leader Charles Halleck, and Speaker Carl Albert, as well as the chairmen of the House and Senate Judiciary committees.

Full Coverage >>
All our meetings went well. We were expecting a crowd of maybe 50,000 people to attend the March on Washington, but by the time we finished our meetings on the Hill, the streets had begun to fill. People were flooding out of Union Station, moving toward the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial. To our surprise, the march had already begun.
Thousands of people were streaming in from every direction. We were the leaders of the march, but it seemed like the people were leading us. I said to myself, "There go my people." We had to catch up to them. So we joined hands, and we walked from Capitol Hill down to the Lincoln Memorial—the people ushered us through.
Once we got there, I had some work to do. The night before, Bayard Rustin, [who partnered with] A. Philip Randolph in the logistic coordination of the march, had called a meeting to discuss my speech. Some people were concerned about words that I had used. With all the fire of youth, I called President Kennedy's civil-rights bill "too little, too late." I also said something like, "You tell us to be patient, you tell us to wait, but 'patience' is a dirty, nasty word."
Well, Archbishop [Patrick] O'Boyle, representing Catholic partnership in the march, took issue with that depiction because Catholics believed in the sanctity of patience. [But] I said that we wanted our freedom, and we wanted it now, and if we could not get it, we would "march through the South like Sherman did—nonviolently."
Martin Luther King Jr. was like a big brother to me, and he said, "John, that doesn't even sound like you."
Randolph, an eloquent man and the hands-down dean of the movement, said, "John, we've come this far together, let's stay together."
So, in the time before the march started, me and several other members of SNCC positioned ourselves next to the feet of Abraham Lincoln and proceeded to change just a few words of the speech. Today, I am the only remaining speaker [at the march] who will see the King Memorial unveiled on the Mall.
What memories do you have of King's assassination?
When Dr. King was assassinated, I was in Indianapolis working on the presidential campaign of Robert Kennedy. We were knocking on doors and doing advance organizing for the speech Kennedy was to make that night. It was Kennedy's first trip to Indianapolis, so we had planned a rally downtown in a black neighborhood.
About an hour before Kennedy was to speak, someone told me that Martin Luther King Jr. had been shot in Memphis. I knew Dr. King's life had often been threatened. His home had been bombed, and he had even been stabbed in New York. I was concerned, but hopeful.
It was not until Bobby Kennedy mounted the stage and announced to the audience that King had been killed that I found out my brother, my leader, my friend, my colleague and my inspiration had died. People gasped. Some shouted out, "No!" Others dropped to their knees, broke down and wept. Kennedy spoke from his heart and made one of the most moving speeches I ever heard him make:
"For those of you who are ... tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act ... I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed.... But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times.... But the vast majority of ... people in this country want to live together ... and want justice for all human beings.... Let us dedicate ourselves ... to tame the savageness of man and ... make gentle the life of this world."
People hung on every word, and despite the anger that exploded in cities throughout America after King's death, there was no violence in Indianapolis. After the speech was over, we all went back to Kennedy's hotel room and cried.
Has King—the man or the message—informed decisions in your career or personal life?
Without Martin Luther King Jr., I really do not know where I would be today.... Without his message, his activism and his sacrifice, I do not know where America would be today.
In the South, we lived in fear. Fear hung in the air like a knife always threatening to kill. It is hard to understand today, but when sitting next to someone on a public bus, looking a man or woman straight in the eye, when the simple act of registering to vote meant your life could be in danger, you can understand to a degree how we were afraid to be afraid.
Dr. King taught an entire generation of citizens—both black and white—how to stand up against oppression without compromising their own dignity. He taught us how to speak up and speak out, how to free our minds so completely that the chains of segregation could not bind us anymore.
I think about him almost everyday of my life. Whenever I have very tough decisions to make, I always think, "What would Martin do?" I also ask myself at times, "What would Bobby Kennedy do?" I accepted the discipline and philosophy of nonviolence that King espoused, not just as a tactic, but as a way of life. It is the chord that runs through my entire existence, as a member of Congress, as a leader, and as an everyday human being.
Is there a song that evokes King's legacy, or the civil-rights movement?
More than anything, I would say, We Shall Overcome reflects the greatest testament to King's legacy. It is a song that describes the overriding optimism that was the core of the struggle and King's philosophy, the idea that, regardless of the difficulties we experience today on this inner journey as a nation to recognize the oneness of all humanity, we must know that it is all for the good. Ultimately, it is our divine destiny to rid ourselves of this blindness, and we shall overcome one day. That is the philosophical legacy of the movement and the meaning of Dr. King's message.
Is King's message relevant to any contemporary civil-rights or equality issues?
Dr. King's message is more than simply relevant to the contemporary struggles of, not just civil rights, but human rights around the globe. Throughout my travels, I have student activists, archivists, historians, and government leaders tell me how the people organizing against oppression in conflicts all over the world use the history of [our] movement as a textbook for their struggle—[our movement] has influenced freedom movements in South Africa, India, Ireland, Serbia, Poland, Germany, and, most recently, in Egypt.
Egyptian activists [received] nonviolence training—modeled on our work in the movement—from organizers in Serbia. Apparently, a young woman and a member of the American Islamic Congress saw a comic book depicting the Montgomery Bus Boycott with a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. on the cover. ([It was] published by the Fellowship of Reconciliation.) She thought it could be a powerful tool in what would become the 2011 Egyptian revolt to remove Hosni Mubarak, and she had it translated into Arabic and distributed thousands of copies throughout Egypt before the uprising in Tahrir Square.
I had the pleasure of meeting her in my office, and she gave me a copy of that comic book. King's message was more than a template for legislative change. As a minister, his words were moral arguments which can help guide the spiritual evolution of all humankind. His preaching and teaching is more than relevant in a contemporary context. Though he wrote those words 50 years ago, they still represent a vision of the future, of the truths we still must come to grips with to evolve as a society, as a community of nations and as individuals with our own divine destiny.

The other day we had a story about per diems, the reimbursement payments that most lawmakers claim for their housing and meals rather than submitting receipts for repayment of their actual expenses.
Naturally, doing that reporting makes all reasonable people consider whether one might easily go online and search hotel rates to compare them to the $152 per diems. But, as an annoying insurance advertisement frequently reminds us, you can't really believe everything on the Internet.
But documents obtained by filing a right-to-know request?
That's gospel.
So, today we learn that a handful of lawmakers take the time to submit their actual expense receipts to get reimbursed for the cost of their housing and meals. And, lo and behold, we didn't encounter a single case where the actual cost exceeded the per diem rate.
For instance, when Rep. Lynda Schlegel-Culver, R-Northumberland, stays in Harrisburg, something that typically only occurs when there are going to evening budget sessions or there is foul weather, the hotel cost $98, which she submitted on her expense sheet for reimbursement. Culver said that the hotel is not particularly fancy, but she is mainly concerned about having a place that is clean, safe and secure.
Barring any surprises, the framework of Gov. Tom Corbett's transportation plan, expected to be released Tuesday, as part of his budget address, is already known.
The Corbett administration has told lawmakers that the governor would like to lift the cap on a wholesale oil company franchise tax. The tax is levied on the wholesale price of gas, but is capped based on a cost of $1.25 a gallon, even though the state's last calculation of the wholesale price of gasoline put it at $3.11 a gallon.
Rep. Gary Haluska, D-Patton, said he had been told that lifting that cap would lead to a 20 cents-a-gallon increase at the pump. Considering the Pennsylvania Highway Information Association, an advocacy group, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Wednesday that they estimate the cap will translate into a 28.5 cent a gallon increase to gas companies, Haluska seems pretty close.
All in all, the governor has projected that lifting that cap will generate almost $2 billion in additional revenue for transportation.
There are other little things that could be part of the transportation strategy that could loom large in the future.
For one, Sen. John Wozniak,
D-Westmont, and Sen. Elder Vogel,
R-Beaver, have been pushing to get the state's requirements for vehicle inspections and auto emissions testing relaxed. Wozniak said that when the transportation plan gets rolled out, he has every intention of continuing to fight to get the inspection and emissions testing issues included in the negotiations.
That would be good news for motorists in the state's metropolitan areas who have been paying an extra $20 so the state can confirm that their vehicles are not polluting, even though fewer than 2.5 percent of tested vehicles fail. And Wozniak's bid to eliminate vehicle inspections for new cars and trucks would be good news for motorists across the commonwealth.
Sen. Gene Yaw, R-Lycoming, said that he hopes the governor finds
room in the transportation plan to expand the use of public-private partnerships for highway and bridge construction.
That would be significant in central Pennsylvania, where advocates have been fighting for decades to get a bypass built around a busy section of routes 11 and 15.
A public-private partnership might be a way to get the $600 million project off the drawing board, Yaw said.
When he asks people if they would pay a toll if it meant getting the project completed, Yaw said they are almost unanimous in their support.

Visitation is Monday evening for a Sappington man who died following a heart attack he suffered while officiating a high school soccer game last week.
Jim Duniven collapsed on the field of a Lindbergh v. Kirkwood varsity game Thursday night at Lindbergh High School. He was a former Lindbergh schools parents and a high school sports official for more than 15 years. Read Duniven's full obituary on Legacy.com.
Visitation is scheduled 3-8 p.m. on Monday at Kutis Funeral Home in Affton.
Players from both teams gathered around Duniven to pray while he was given medical attention on the field. Hear Lindbergh's varsity captain recount the experience.
Duniven was not just a respected game official in the region, but a parent to Lindbergh graduates Caitlin and Kevin, according to an announcement on the Lindbergh School District website. He is also survived by his wife, Sandra, according to the post.
Lindbergh school district spokeswoman Beth Johnston said school counselors and staff were prepared Friday to help students assist students.
"An email was sent out to all the teachers at the high school to make them aware of the situation, and help them be sensitive to soccer players who are in class today and make sure they have everything they need," Johnston said.

A Republican candidate for Illinois' 18th state Senate seat called the Affordable Care Act a "disaster fiasco" that peels back liberties during a forum Wednesday.
Barbara Bellar, a former Benedictine Catholic Nun and veteran, recently drew national attention for a video in which she She called the video a "light-hearted introduction to a very serious topic."
The Republican from Burr Ridge double-downed on her stance and took a more serious tone on "Obamacare" during Wednesday's forum at the Green Hill Public Library in Palos Hills.
"It represents the erosion of our religious and civil liberties," Bellar said of the measure signed by Obama in 2010. "That's what's behind it."
"God should decide how long we live, not President Obama," she said.
Watch: Barbara Bellar's Full Response (VIDEO)
Bellar faces state Rep. Bill Cunningham, a Democrat from the 35th District running for Illinois senate, in November.

WASHINGTON — A top Democrat pressured fellow progressives Tuesday to consider long-term changes to the social safety net, even as the party digs in for a fight to save Medicare and other government programs from deep budget cuts.
As closed-door talks continue with the hope of a year-end deal, President Obama will travel to a Pennsylvania toy store this week to pressure Congress to extend the expiring tax cuts for the middle class, while letting those for the wealthiest 2% of Americans expire. Republicans are similarly taking their proposal of tax breaks for all on the road.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Rodney Wallace headed in a corner kick in the 78th minute and the Portland Timbers stalled the Seattle Sounders' playoff push with a 1-1 draw Saturday.
The draw also kept the Timbers (7-14-7) in the driver's seat in the Cascadia Cup, the annual head-to-head competition between the Sounders, Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps.
Freddy Montero scored for the Sounders (13-6-9), who are second in the Western Conference and could have punched their ticket to the postseason with a win over Portland and an Earthquakes win over Chivas USA later Saturday.
Seattle stretched its unbeaten streak to five games coming off a 2-1 win over Chivas last Saturday.
Montero blasted the ball past Portland backup goalkeeper Joseph Bendik in the 56th minute, just seconds after Bendik subbed into the came in place of Donovan Ricketts, who was injured in the 51st after a nasty collision with Seattle's Eddie Johnson in front of the goal.
Ricketts stayed on the ground for almost 4 minutes. He tried to remain in the game but waived for the trainer shortly after the resumption of play.
The Timbers appeared to be deflated until Wallace headed in a perfectly placed corner kick from Jack Jewsbury. Bendik stopped a shot from Osvaldo Alonso in extra time to preserve the draw.
Portland is in a tie with Chivas for last place in the West and was coming off a 3-0 loss to Colorado last week.
The Timbers lead the Cascadia Cup with eight points to Seattle's five and Vancouver's two. The original Cascadia Cup was introduced in 2004 when the Timbers, Whitecaps and Sounders were part of the United Soccer Leagues' first division. The roots of the rivalry date to 1975, when all three teams played in the North American Soccer League.

The quality of coverage is more a more important factor than the cost of that coverage for employees making decisions about their health insurance, according to a survey by Liazon Corp., the Buffalo-based health-benefits exchange company.
Fifty-three percent of the employees surveyed said they selected plans that provided the proper level of coverage, more than twice the 23 percent who said they chose plans that promised lower costs.
They are the key findings of an online survey of employees and employers that use Liazon's Bright Choices exchange, an online marketplace designed to help employers save money on health care costs and set predictable budgets while giving consumers more choices.
The survey also found that 63 percent of employees who shopped for insurance on the Bright Choices exchange felt more aware of the costs of their health care than before using the exchange, and 60 percent felt more engaged in decisions about their medical care.
The survey was conducted last summer by Phoenix Marketing International on behalf of Liazon, which released the results Tuesday.

To view the complete list of 2008's TCP 100 click here, or download the following PDF's: 1-13, 14-40, 41-71, 72-100.
A painter can portray whatever he likes on a blank canvas. But businesses or whole industries do not have the luxury of starting from a clean slate. They must take what is given and make the best of it.
That's what producers did in 2007. They contended with a plunge in housing starts and rising raw material and fuel costs. And still, the industry persevered. Here, we present producers' strategies.
You will find this year's TCP100 listing of North America's largest concrete producing companies, presented by Allen-Villere Partners, in the double-gatefold next to page 46.
There's a rumor that many of the chairs in the offices of the leading concrete producer have been modified recently. Many of the smart concrete producers in 2007 (and so far this year) have been reported to be wearing their new seatbelts. Those who haven't been suitably equipped might have received a serious case of whiplash as they've tried to direct their companies in these topsy-turvy times.
Rarely has a year been filled with more important events. For every piece of good news that seems to indicate things are going forward smoothly, a manager would get jarred with another bit of bad news.
For instance, commercial and public works construction eked out gains of 3% and 2%, respectively, in the U.S. last year. Producers were pouring or getting ready to pour concrete for high-profile projects such as the 92-story Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago and the 1776-foot-tall Freedom Tower on the former World Trade Center site in New York City.
But a staggering 24% drop in total residential construction, triggered by the subprime lending debacle, wiped out these commercial gains. "The continued strength of the non-residential construction sector during the year was offset by a very weak residential sector," reported CRH Plc, the Ireland-based owner of Oldcastle Materials, to its stockholders.
The drop has had a dramatic effect on our customers. Eighty-nine of the 100 biggest home builders in the U.S. posted sales losses in 2007.
What's more revealing is that the vast majority posted double-digit, year-over-year losses, according to BUILDER magazine, TCP's sister publication.
This year has brought no relief, as new residential construction was down 39% during the first four months. This is on par with what one Southern producer told TCP: "Residential housing is down 44%, while the commercial market is flat."
Still, residential accounts for only one-third of the concrete produced in the U.S. So producers' batch plants, while impacted by the depressed housing market, have still been humming along with other orders.
Against this backdrop, we again present the TCP100, the concrete production industry's exclusive listing of North America's largest producers by revenue.
Start at the top few positions and you will notice many changes from last year. Industry consolidation in 2007 resulted in many large players being gobbled up by multinationals: Rinker (no. 5 last year) was purchased by Cemex; Hanson (no. 6) was bought by Heidelberg Cement; and Florida Rock (no. 11) was acquired by Vulcan Materials. You can find such changes up and down the list.

Food-animal practitioners commonly perform local-anesthetic techniques due to the dangers associated with general anesthesia.
Local anesthetic techniques usually are simple, cheap and have relatively few side effects. Unless otherwise stated, "local
anesthetic agent" refers to lidocaine or carbocaine. It is preferable to clip the hair and perform a surgical prep of the
site before anesthetic agents are injected, particularly those injected deep into tissues.
Eye surgery
The most common reason to perform surgery on the eye or eyelids is for squamous-cell carcinoma. For anesthesia prior to hyperthermia
or freezing of lid lesions, or H-plasty, a simple line block with a local anesthetic agent will work. For lesions on the globe,
it is helpful to proptose the globe for better exposure and immobilization. I try to proptose the globe without relaxation
from a Peterson or retrobulbar block so there is less chance of abrasions and drying of the cornea following the procedure,
especially if animals are traveling in an open trailer following the procedure. A topical local anesthetic labeled for the
eye should be applied.
There is much debate among practitioners over the use of a Peterson eye block vs. the retrobulbar block. Both can be effective
if performed correctly, and both can have deadly side effects. The Peterson eye block is purportedly safer and more effective
if done correctly, but is more difficult to perform.
Blocking the cornual nerve desensitizes the horn for dehorning. Five mls to 10 mls of a local anesthetic agent is deposited
subcutaneously and relatively superficially midway between the lateral canthus of the eye and the base of the horn along the
zygomatic process. Complete anesthesia may take 10 minutes to occur. In older animals with larger horns, a partial ring block,
especially posterior to the horn, may be needed.
For knife castration, a line of local anesthetic agent is placed in the scrotum at the proposed incision site. Injection of
a local anesthetic agent into each testicle is then performed. The volume of the agent depends on the size of the testes.
I inject until I get backpressure. It is important to remove the testes within a few minutes of injection into them to prevent
any toxic side effects from lidocaine or carbocaine going systemically.
Teat surgery
For teat lacerations, an inverted V block immediately proximal to the laceration is usually sufficient. For severe, extensive
lacerations, a complete ring block at the base of the teat may be necessary.
