Did anybody know that Tennessee last played Alabama for Homecoming, the contest coming in 1948, part of a 4-4-2 season?
The Vols had played the Crimson Tide Oct. 19, 1929, Oct. 17, 1931, Oct. 19, 1933, Oct. 19, 1935, Oct. 21, 1939, and Oct. 19, 1946, winning four of the six games.
The finale of the "Homecoming Series" against the Tide was a 21-6 win in 1948, the game Hal Littleford had one of his best performances.
There is no mention of the attendance that day, but you had to think the crowd was bigger than in other Homecoming games against lesser foes. There wasn't a "directional school" to be found in those days.

By MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the stocks that could see active trade in Wednesday's session are Altera Corp., American Greetings Corp. and Weatherford International Ltd.
Companies on the calendar to report quarterly financial results Wednesday include blue chips Boeing Co. /quotes/zigman/220026/delayed/quotes/nls/ba BA -1.40% and Caterpillar Inc. /quotes/zigman/221644/delayed/quotes/nls/cat CAT -2.21% as well as Ford Motor Co. /quotes/zigman/264304/delayed/quotes/nls/f F -2.26% , General Dynamics Corp. /quotes/zigman/227407/delayed/quotes/nls/gd GD -2.19% , Northrop Grumman Corp. /quotes/zigman/236055/delayed/quotes/nls/noc NOC -1.84% , ConocoPhillips /quotes/zigman/294662/delayed/quotes/nls/cop COP -2.40% , Corning Inc. /quotes/zigman/223221/delayed/quotes/nls/glw GLW -1.03% , AOL Inc. /quotes/zigman/577531/delayed/quotes/nls/aol AOL -1.31% , Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. /quotes/zigman/220498/delayed/quotes/nls/bmy BMY -0.74% , Southern Co. /quotes/zigman/241351/delayed/quotes/nls/so SO -1.03% , Visa Inc. /quotes/zigman/502306/delayed/quotes/nls/v V -1.36% , PepsiCo Inc. /quotes/zigman/238082/delayed/quotes/nls/pep PEP -0.78% , RadioShack Corp. /quotes/zigman/260227/delayed/quotes/nls/rsh RSH -4.42% , Delta Air Lines Inc. /quotes/zigman/463579/delayed/quotes/nls/dal DAL -0.49% , US Airways Group Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp. /quotes/zigman/87304/delayed/quotes/nls/jblu JBLU -2.80% , among many others.
Along with reporting second-quarter results, Altera /quotes/zigman/67862/delayed/quotes/nls/altr ALTR -1.95% forecast sequential top-line improvement for the third quarter. Based on sales of $464.8 million for the June quarter, management projected third-quarter growth of 2% to 6%, implying above-consensus sales of $474.1 million to $492.7 million. The San Jose-based company also said its board approved expanding by 10 million the number of shares authorized for repurchase under Altera's buyback program. In addition, the board increased the quarterly cash dividend to 10 cents a share, a 25% increase. It's payable Sept. 4 to stockholders of record as of Aug. 10, Altera said.
American Greetings /quotes/nls/am AM 0.00% may divert funds used to pay dividends toward stock buybacks instead, according to the Cleveland-based company's chief executive. The board of American Greetings authorized the repurchase of up to $75 million of its Class A common stock. Repurchases will likely be made on the open market or via privately negotiated transactions, the company said late Tuesday. Consideration's being given to the amount of cash used to pay dividends and whether a portion of these funds should be reallocated to purchasing additional shares, said CEO Zev Weiss. "We continue to believe that our current stock price is undervalued and want to take advantage of that discount," he said in a statement. The company's quarterly dividend of 15 cents a share currently translates into a yield of about 4.7%. Any decision by the American Greetings board to change dividend policy would be made and announced by late September, coinciding with the release of results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
Weatherford /quotes/zigman/35200119/delayed/quotes/nls/wft WFT -3.45% said it's identified "additional errors" in reviewing results for the first and second quarters of 2012, meaning the company won't issue restated financial statements for 2011 and the first three months of 2012 or file statements for the June quarter until further review of its accounting for income taxes has been completed. "The company believes that the additional adjustments to prior-period income taxes are a result of additional procedures and improvements implemented during the first and second quarters of 2012 to existing procedures or procedures implemented in 2011," Weatherford said late Tuesday as it issued preliminary figures for the second quarter. Among other things, the company said it generated revenue of nearly $3.78 billion, the highest for a quarter in Weatherford's history. However, the company will also take a $100 million charge as "management's best estimate" of a potential settlement with the U.S. government over allegedly improper sales in certain sanctioned countries. Work by the company and Ernst & Young on correcting deficiencies in Weatherford's accounting for income taxes continues, but the company said that "there can be no assurance that additional income-tax accounting issues will not be identified."
The board of Forward Air Corp. /quotes/zigman/74774/delayed/quotes/nls/fwrd FWRD -1.69% declared a quarterly cash dividend of 10 cents a share, an increase of 43% from the current payout rate. It's payable Sept. 7 to stockholders of record as of Aug. 23, the Greenville, Tenn.-based company said.
The board of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. /quotes/zigman/230113/delayed/quotes/nls/iff IFF -2.12% approved an increase of nearly 10% in the New York-based company's quarterly dividend on common stock, to 34 cents a share. It's payable Oct. 3 to holders of record as of Sept. 19, the company said.
St. Louis-based Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. /quotes/zigman/76522/delayed/quotes/nls/isle ISLE 0.00% priced at par $350 million of senior subordinated notes for sale to institutional investors in a private offering. The eight-year notes carry an interest rate of 8.875%, the company said. Net proceeds will primarily be used in connection with a tender offer for and redemption of Isle of Capri's 7% senior subordinated notes due 2014. The offering of the notes due 2020 is scheduled to close Aug. 7, while the tender offer and a related consent solicitation will expire at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on Aug. 21, unless extended or terminated earlier by the company.

Restaurant chain Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. /quotes/zigman/91104/delayed/quotes/nls/bwld BWLD -0.01% reported a below-consensus profit for the second quarter and warned that earnings growth for 2012 may come of shy of management's prior forecast. Quarterly revenue rose 30% to $238.7 million, also less than the average view of analysts surveyed by FactSet Research, with the Minneapolis-based company's same-store sales growth at company-owned restaurants coming in at 5.3%; the consensus had been for growth of 6.1%. Read more.
TripAdvisor Inc. /quotes/zigman/7619815/delayed/quotes/nls/trip TRIP -5.50% posted a second-quarter profit of $53 million, or 37 cents a share, down from $54.1 million, or 41 cents, earned, in the year-ago period. On an adjusted basis, the Newton, Mass.-based travel website would have earned 41 cents a share in the latest quarter, in line with the FactSet-derived consensus. However, quarterly revenue of $197.1 million, up from the prior year's $169.2 million, came up shy of the $203 million consensus forecast of analysts.

As to the previous administration, who deserves prosecution and for what crimes?
Matt McKenzie
It takes as long as it takes. Sometimes longer.
"It is better to own a $50,000 dog and have an old truck and crummy equipment than to own $50,000 worth of new equipment and a crummy dog..." EdA
I think the way our immigration laws are enforced is un-American, probably not for the same reasons our esteemed senator does though. I think it's un-American to allow illegal immigrants to come into our country and stay even after being stopped by police. I think they blatant disregard for the rule of law is un-American. It's un-American that in my hometown which had about 15000 manufacturing jobs now has a couple of hundred and those are getting taken up by temp working illegals. Don't seem very American to me that a bunch of my friends who were in construction are now unemployed and the people who are working in those jobs now are mostly illegal immigrants. I went to look at some condos a couple of years ago to buy as an investment property. When we went through the units there were probably 30 Mexican drywall finishers in there working. They had 5 or 6 kids between 8 and 12 years old mixing and carrying mud for them, one in each unit. This was in the middle of the day on a school day. So I tried to call immigration to report it. When I called INS they didn't give an extension for enforcement. After calling around a lady told me the key is to enter extension 8, this wasn't even one of the options they gave. When I got through it was an answering machine, and said leave a message if they thought it was important enough they would get back to you.
Don't blame me I voted Republican, always have!

Update: 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23: All northbound lanes of Highway 17 are cleared following two early morning crashes Wednesday involving six cars.
According to CHP spokesman D.J. Sarabia, the busy thoroughfare's closure was caused when two accidents occurred on northbound Highway 17 at the Alma Bridge Road exit, each involving three vehicles.
No injuries and property damage only was reported in the first accident, which occurred at 6:56 a.m. In the second accident, immediately after the first one, three other cars crashed right behind the scene of the first wreck, blocking the number-one lane for about 10 minutes, Sarabia said.
"Everything got moved to the right-hand shoulder ... There were no injuries to any party involved," Sarabia added. "The cars were still on scene for several hours, but the lanes were cleared."
Highway 17 was completely blocked early this morning following a six-vehicle collision on the northbound side near Alma Bridge Road, in Santa Clara County, according to the California Highway Patrol.
On our Patch commute map, it showed the accident occurred at 7:44 a.m. and that CHP officials are still trying to clear the Highway, with an expected completion time of 9:47 a.m.
The right-hand shoulder of Highway 17 is blocked due to the accident around Madrone Drive, the commute map alert said.
CHP officer Sarah Jackson was advising motorists this morning to seek alternate routes as the accident was expected to take several hours to clear.
The accident's location is about two miles south of the center of Los Gatos and about 14 miles north of Scotts Valley.

The Haverhill Gazette
---- — On this Thanksgiving Day, Allan Press is a man steeped in gratitude.
For openers, he's blessed with a wonderful and caring family. Next July will mark his 50th year with wife Julia. Together, they've had three beautiful children and four loving grandchildren, ages 8 months to 13 years.
The subject of children often ushers in a discussion filled with boundless joy and pride.
It's a family that has sometimes looked adversity in the face and closed its eyes. Regardless of where they have lived, Thanksgiving has been a day that has shown no disruption or distance.
By the same token, it's a day when he can look upon his 50 years as a rabbi and say, "Allan, job well done."
It's a mission that has taken him to six congregations, including Temple Emanu-El here in Haverhill, where he served five years before leaving in 1981 for a new role.
Over the next 28 years, his call was geared toward interfaith marriages — some 50 encounters a year — supporting people of different denominations.
As he puts it so aptly, "I was the one representing the Jewish faith at their wedding ceremonies. There's more to life that unites us than divides us. We need to accept one another as God's chosen people."
His presence at these ceremonies manifested such values as care, compassion and love. In all those years, Allan Press never encountered a moment of ill repute.
For a spry 73-year-old, Allan Press enjoys his morning walks throughout the quiet neighborhood which has been his home in Danville, N.H. A conversation with Julia is one thing.
His bond with nature and the environment is another. If there's a rose bush along his path, he'll stop to admire its beauty.
His age carries no handicap into the racquetball court, where he continues to play a competitive game against players far younger than himself. Allan has been a YMCA member for the past 36 years and, no doubt, it's been a panacea of sorts.
Over recent years, he's taken it upon himself to volunteer his time at the Haverhill Council on Aging, where he's led a support group dealing with the challenges of aging. By helping others enjoy their golden years, he's also helped himself.
"We focus on the gifts people have, not what's missing," he tells you.
For seven years, Allan Press served as a hospice chaplain, much of it volunteer. In and out of homes and hospitals he has traveled, meeting with patients whose days were numbered. In some cases, he was the best friend they could have in a dire situation.
He thanks his lucky stars than he was on the caring end, not the recipient. In one case, a patient rose from his "death bed" and made a complete recovery. Divine intervention? Allan Press would rather prefer to call it an unexpected miracle from above.
It's been a good life for a good friend who will soon depart his Haverhill community for Austin, Texas, to be closer to his daughter Tova, son-in-law Tim and granddaughter Ally. He's looking upon the move as a new adventure.
Others around him may call it a celebration. In 2005, Allan Press was diagnosed with pituitary adenoma. A simpler explanation is that he had a growth on his pituitary gland which could raise havoc with the optic nerve.
One surgery led to another three years later, only for doctors to discover further growth this year. Five weeks of radiation therapy at Massachusetts General Hospital appears to have the tumor in remission.
One day recently, he asked me to take him into Boston for his treatment. The privilege of serving a dear friend was all mine. We joined at a convenient site and off we went for his appointment.
We arrived a bit earlier than expected and decided to go for a short walk before his proton blast. Throngs of people weaved in and out of traffic.
All of a sudden, I encountered an Armenian cleric I knew very well. He was accompanied by a Catholic priest. We exchanged greetings.
Upon learning that I had transported a friend for radiation treatment, they offered a prayer of healing, right there on a busy street corner with hundreds of people in transit.
The four of us held hands and bowed our heads as words of comfort filtered through the air. The gesture did more than any medicine could provide.
Allan Press took his treatment that morning with a deep sense of indebtedness, grateful that men of different faiths had become unified — and fortified — in a moment of need.
If there's a little extra emotion in his prayer this Thanksgiving, it's easy to see why.
"I'm blessed in many ways," he rejoices.
Photographer and writer Tom Vartabedian is retired from The Haverhill Gazette. He contributes this regular column.

Sunday was a pretty good day for Pete Jensen. That morning, his first granddaughter was born. Not long after Parker Jensen was welcomed into the world, two of Jensen's former players—Tony Renda and Logan Scott—made it to the College World Series when California defeated Dallas Baptist, 6-2, to sweep the Super Regional.
The Golden Bears open the College World Series on Sunday when they face the nation's top team, Virginia.
Baseball fans will forgive the longtime Serra High School coach from thinking the former might have been a tad more important than the latter.
Pete Jensen was planning to go to the Super Regional at Santa Clara University, but had to call his former charges last Friday to tell them that he wouldn't make it.
"I told them that my daughter-in-law was in labor," Jensen said. "I told them hopefully we'll have two special things happening this weekend, and that's what happened. Sunday morning my granddaughter was born and then they made the College World Series."
The two Golden Bears raise the total of former Serra players to make a College World Series to at least nine. There is, of course, Pete Jensen's son Ty, who made consecutive series with LSU in 2003-04. There's some guy named Barry Bonds who did it back-to-back for Arizona State in 1983-84. There's Matt Toomey, who played on Cal's last CWS team in 1992. Scott Delucchi went to Stanford and was a member of the Cardinal's back-to-back NCAA championship teams in 1987-88.
There's Rob Leary, who played on LSU's first-ever CWS team in 1986. Dustin Delucchi made it with Arizona State in 1998, but came up short in that pinball game of a final, won by USC, 21-14. Billy Peavy made it with USC in 2000-01, hitting a home run against Georgia in the later year.
It's a pretty impressive list, but Pete Jensen refuses to take any credit.
"I'm not sure that it reflects on Serra as it does on the kids' accomplishments with the schools they've gone to," said the coach, who retired after winning the Central Coast Section Division I championship in 2009. "We prided ourselves on developing kids to play at the next level. We did everything we could do to carry them on to that point."
And then, Jensen said, the successes all belong to the athletes. Renda and Scott showed that last weekend. Renda is , hitting .335 on the year. Because of a quad injury, he was the designated hitter instead of second base last weekend. Renda went 3-for-5 in the clincher with an RBI.
Scott came through the night before, entering as a reliever to start the seventh inning when starter Justin Jones suffered an injury warming up. Jones had been dominant to that point, allowing just one hit, and with the Bears holding a 4-0 lead Scott was under a ton of pressure. He promptly finished off the game, allowing just two hits in three innings.
Jensen was more than a little proud of Scott.
"A guy like Logan Scott, who really was not known very much until this year, on Saturday night came into a situation where Justin Jones was hurt and finished the game with three great innings," he said. "He had a positive career at Serra and it's led to what he's done to this point."
The Golden Bears story has been widely reported. Last fall, the University announced that the school would drop five sports at the end of the school year. Baseball, which began at Cal in 1892, was one of them. Alumni immediately began working furiously to raise the money to keep the program going. On April 8, smack dab in the middle of the season, it was announced that the program was saved.
"The only reason we're around is because of the people that back us and the people that put their hard-earned money behind us and behind this program," Renda said of the donors. "I'm forever grateful that they came through for us, came through in the clutch. With them behind us, we're an extremely strong team and if we stay together as a group, we're even stronger."
Renda had a special moment back at Serra: he hit a home run in Jensen's final game as coach, an eventual 5-4 victory over Archbishop Mitty. It was Jensen's 564th career victory and fourth CCS title in 24 years as the head coach. Prior to that, he was an assistant. Now, Jensen is still teaching two periods of architecture at the school and has found work as a handyman. No, really. And he's getting ready for one more new chapter.
"I'm starting to prepare myself for coaching softball in the future," he said. As for those 36 years?
"I'm happy to be retired," Jensen said. "I honestly don't really miss it. Thirty-six years in the game, it got to the point where I wanted to do other things. I'm very happy with where I'm at. I enjoyed every second of it."

Perry in Spin Room After 'Oops'
It is risky to ever state something has never before happened in American politics. But by declaring "Oops" and mangling his own platform in Wednesday night's GOP candidate debate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry pulled off the unimaginable: the worst stumble in the 51-year history of televised presidential debates.
Unquestionably, he is the first candidate to ever utter the word "oops." But almost as unquestionably, his failure to remember the name of the third federal department he pledges to eliminate—the Department of Energy—is the worst self-inflicted wound ever since the first modern debate between Vice President Richard Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy on Sept. 26, 1960.
(RELATED: The GOP's Bigger Flub? Euro Crisis Replies)
From National Journal:
NATIONAL SECURITY Mismanagement of War Remains at Dover AFB
VIDEOIranian Influence Made Clear in Basra
Who's Who on the Super Committee
Most of the memorable debate moments have come from effective zingers that put opponents on the defensive—Lloyd Bentsen in 1988 telling Dan Quayle, "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy," or Ronald Reagan in 1980 laughingly dismissing President Jimmy Carter with a breezy "There you go again." Other candidates have blundered in ways ranging from bad makeup (Nixon against Kennedy on Sept. 26, 1960), loud sighing (Al Gore against George W. Bush on Oct. 11, 2000), to looking at a watch (George H.W. Bush against Bill Clinton and Ross Perot on Oct. 15, 1992).
One candidate—Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis—even blundered by failing to show what most viewers considered appropriate passion toward his wife when, in his Oct. 13, 1988, debate with George H.W. Bush, he was asked whether he would favor "an irrevocable death penalty for the killer" if Kitty Dukakis were raped and murdered. An emotionless Dukakis responded calmly with talk of studies showing the death penalty is no deterrent to violent crime.
(RELATED: Why Did Rick Perry Get Into This Race, Really?)
But sweating, sighing, looking bored, or lacking emotion do not by themselves disqualify someone from being president. Forgetting your own platform and demonstrating a basic failure to communicate, however, moves the debate in that direction. All Perry's strategists need to do is ask those who were advising President Gerald Ford in his 1976 battle with Carter. Ford had closed the gap when he and Carter went to San Francisco for their Oct. 6 debate. But all that momentum ended in the time it took The New York Times' Max Frankel to ask the president about growing Soviet influence in Europe during the Cold War days. Ford responded that this dominance "just isn't true," adding, "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration."
Frankel even gave the president a chance to back off his declaration. But Ford made it worse, stating that he did not think the Yugoslavians, the Romanians, or the Poles "consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union." The damage was done and all the news coverage for days was on whether Ford was naive or ignorant and when the White House would concede his mistake. By the time he did, all the race's momentum had shifted to Carter. Ford never recovered.
(PICTURES: Meet the GOP Candidates)
Other candidates have stumbled and said things that hurt them. Most recently, Barack Obama alienated many voters in New Hampshire—particularly women—when he seemed to be condescending to Hillary Rodham Clinton on Jan. 6, 2008. When Clinton was responding to a question about whether she was as personally appealing as Obama, he turned to her and said, "You're likable enough." Days later, she scored a major upset and beat him in the New Hampshire primary.
Perhaps the self-inflicted wound that came closest to Perry's stumble was retired Adm. James Stockdale's performance in the vice-presidential debate on Oct. 13, 1992. Stockdale was a widely admired hero of the Vietnam War but was a political novice when Ross Perot unexpectedly tapped him to be his running mate. Then Perot forgot to inform Stockdale that he had accepted an invitation for Stockdale to participate in the debate. Stockdale had only 12 days to prepare to go against veteran politicians Al Gore and Dan Quayle. And he chafed at the rule preventing candidates from bringing anything to the podium with them. "I felt so helpless to this business of not having any papers," Stockdale later told Jim Lehrer. "That seems like a throwback to a schoolboy."
(PICTURES: GOP Candidates Foreign Policy Debate Gaffes)
Stockdale's opening words were "Who am I? Why am I here?" They were words he had planned as a way of introducing himself and his nonpolitical background to voters. But he never developed the theme. Instead, he looked simply confused and gave comedians and Saturday Night Live ample material to lampoon him. In the audience, his wife broke into tears as the night wore on and it was clear Stockdale was out of his element. "On this particular evening in 1992, the country saw someone who looked confused and weak," his son Taylor Stockdale wrote in 2008 in The Wall Street Journal. "Without knowing who he was or what he did for his country, most Americans turned off their TV sets and formed an opinion of him based on a 90-minute debate."
Today, almost 20 years later, Perry is struggling to prevent voters from making the same conclusion based on his performance Wednesday night, and without the sterling resume Stockdale had to fall back on.
And Stockdale never said "Oops."

Campus Strictness:
I feel very comfortable with the policy and strictness. I really think they are strict on things that are important to the community and lenient on area where students can take care of themselves.
Campus Strictness:
There is a lot of leniency with drugs/alcohol, you won't get in trouble unless you make it very obvious that you are doing something you should not be doing! Campus is very strict on parking, you will get so many parking tickets you will scream if you don't pay attention to where to park. Honor code is held very highly at Bryn Mawr, it may sound crazy, but one day you too will be strict about the honor code!
Campus Strictness:
I find the deans to be very nitpicky about a lot of things and so is campus safety. They take marijuana use very seriously
Campus Strictness:
Overall, the strictness level depends on the topic. The honor code is one of the most strictly upheld institutions at Bryn Mawr, since professors put so much trust into their students. Bryn Mawr is not a party community at all, but the Public Safety officers are always on top of any illegal activity, on the rare occasions it happens. Dorm visitation is up to the floor, but overall, people are generally accepting. Many like a heads up if a male is coming to avoid surprises or awkwardness.
Campus Strictness:
Campus strictness revolves around the honor code, everyone needs to trust everyone else.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Kaitlin Menza
The Public Safety officers do not need to be strict. Although it does not address drinking directly, the culture of the honor code seems to dissolve the need for extensive policing on the part of Public Safety. Public Safety does not interfere with underage drinking as long as it is done safely and semi-legally, with "21 and over only" signs posted visibly at parties. Bryn Mawr has a party policy that outlines regulations for students when throwing a gathering for more than 30 people. The policy includes mandatory registration and training and outlines the expectations for the hosts, bouncers, and servers for parties serving alcohol. The party policy is a fluid document that has been updated in 2004, 2006, and 2008, with interaction between the offices of Public Safety, Student Activities, Deans, and students themselves.
Mawrters are proud of their honor code and their ability to govern themselves, so the school's calm policies are very popular with students. Students are sensible, and when they do take advantage of these policies, things rarely get out of hand. Abiding by the honor code is a must, as it is largely responsible for the freedom that students enjoy, as is respecting any limits that Public Safety does set.

$800 per family for 3D TV glasses?
Big time gadget makers filled this years this year's Consumer Electronics Show with 3D TV's, promising that consumers can enjoy an "Avatar"-like experience at home some time this year. And the news is even better -- research firm Gartner says that it only costs about 15 percent more to make a 3D TV than a regular flat screen, so the TVs may be affordable.
Here's the thing. The glasses. You must have them. And they are fragile. And they cost a lot. Like, more than the TV itself, if you've got a big family. Gartner analyst Van Baker explained on a conference call:
"If you are talking about a family of four, that's $400-$800 you are going to be spending on the micro-shutter glasses. Not to mention that the glasses can be lost and can be broken."
Ouch. But can't I just use the movie theater glasses I stole... i mean... forgot to return, from, you know, "Avatar?"

Back in 2007, Middle Georgia was introduced to the Ocmulgee Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Chuck Quinn, who was a professor of music at Middle Georgia State College in Cochran. The orchestra served the region wherever the Ocmulgee River flowed, making it a cultural asset for not only Warner Robins, Perry, Fort Valley, Hawkinsville and Cochran, but even Abbeville, Cordele, Dublin, Eastman and Unadilla. Over the years, Quinn brought top-level performers each musical season from throughout the United States to perform in the Hawkinsville Opera House and later locations in Warner Robins, Cordele and Macon. We know the need for good music exists here, and we want to concentrate on excellence, Quinn said about his orchestra that grew in numbers and stature in its young career.
Sadly, Chuck Quinn passed away in 2011, but his legacy continues in the establishment of the Dr. Charles L. Quinn Scholarship at Middle Georgia State Colleges Department of Media, Culture and the Arts. It was recently announced that more than $10,000 has already been received with the goal of reaching $25,000 to make the fund an endowment. Contributions can be made online at https://giving.maconstate.edu or mailed directly to Middle Georgia State College Foundation Inc., 100 College Station Drive, Macon, GA 31206-5145.
There will also be a fundraising concert for the Charles L. Quinn Scholarship on May 4 at 5:30 p.m. until sundown at Gully Branch, located on Butts Road in Cochran. Butts Road is off Ga. 26 about five miles east of Cochran toward Dublin. The concert is sponsored by the Cochran-Bleckley Arts Alliance and brings the Midtown Brass to the stage with Paul Poovey performing. Poovey was trumpeter with the Ocmulgee Symphony Orchestra.
Tickets for the concert are $20 in advance or $25 at the gate. Advance tickets are available at the ComSouth office at 119 N. Second Ave. in Cochran, the Comsouth office at 99 Broad St. in Hawkinsville, and Headquarters Salon at 101 Cherry St. in Cochran or by calling (478) 934-6725.
Mark your calendar now for Easter in the Park on Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon at Peavy Park in Warner Robins. Peavy Park is located at 610 Johnson Road, off of Bassford Road at Elberta Road. The event is free to the public and includes egg hunts, entertainment, games and public interest information given by local service providers. For more information about this and other programs of the Warner Robins Recreation Department, call (478) 293-1080.

Integrative Hypnosis : A Comprehensive Course in Change
New Online Video Courses!!
You have a few great courses to choose from. For practitioners who want to learn how to "Coach the Unconscious Mind" there is a four full day training that's broken down into small video chapters for easy learning and integration. If you want to see this change work in action you can choose from any of the coaching demos, with more to be added monthly.
For anyone suffering from anxiety, the entire "Anti-Anxiety Toolkit" is also available in the same easy to navigate format.
Melissa specializes in anti-anxiety techniques that she teaches the clients to do themselves. Utilizing the latest research in neuroscience and mind/body medicine, she shows you how to use your mind to rewire your brain and change habituated unconscious patterns more easily than you imagined possible.
Melissa teaches a rapid form of self-hypnosis to every client. She also provides every client with a one breath trigger for stress reduction and craving elimination. This empowering cooperative method of hypnotherapy provides the client with all the tools necessary for lasting change with the minimum amount of office visits.
Melissa's smoke cessation program is extremely successful and easy. Smokers learn three rapid techniques for craving elimination and stress reduction. Her weight loss program is enjoyable and healthy, focusing not on diets and feeling denied & deprived, but on health, vitality and an exercise regimen to fit all types of lifestyles. Melissa believes in changing the relationship the individual has to food, thereby changing behavior patterns. This program is fun and inspiring, and makes losing weight and getting in shape easy, replacing a negative self-image with one of renewed energy and positive imagery. The number of sessions varies from two to four, depending on the individual.
When working with pain management Melissa requires a referral from a physician, believing that pain is a signal or a warning of a problem, and that to remove the pain without addressing the cause is dangerous and unethical. Our ability to interfere or block pain signals with our mind is widely documented and highly successful. Hypnosis for pain control has no side effects and takes away the feeling of hopelessness and dependence that sufferers of chronic pain normally experience. It is safe, effective and non-addictive.
Melissa believes in teaching stress management techniques in every session, no matter what the goal. The role that stress plays in compulsive behaviors such as overeating and chain smoking and the myriad of illnesses attributed to or exacerbated by stress is astounding. When one's ability to deal with stress is addressed, many other issues become manageable or non-existent. In today's world, the one breath technique taught by Melissa becomes a vital and indispensable tool for everyday living.
The use of hypnosis for childbirth is becoming one of the more popular methods for achieving a stress-free gentle birth. Hypnosis can be used in place of, or in conjunction with anesthetics. Some women feel hypnosis will turn them into some kind of zombie and they will miss out on the birth experience. This could not be further from the truth. The hypnotized woman is relaxed, totally present, and feels pressure instead of pain during a contraction. Melissa not only advises the mother's partner on how to deepen and support the level of hypnosis, but also actually gives them a session so the process is demystified. The partner can play a vital role in the whole process. In addition to making the labor relaxing and enjoyable for all involved, including, and especially the baby, hypnosis is also quite efficient in dealing with all the other symptoms of pregnancy. Whether it's morning sickness, headaches, water retention, or excessive weight gain, hypnotherapy has been proven effective on all accounts. This should be a joyous and memorable day, not wrought with fear, stress and pain. As a recent study has shown, women who were hypnotized recovered faster, felt much less discomfort, required little or no medication, and delivered babies who scored much higher on the APGAR tests than women who learned other labor techniques.

Trieste has a long, complex and fascinating history; the remains of the various civilizations and empires that have influenced or dominated it are evident in the city today, making it ideal for city breaks in Italy. During the second millennium BC the territory of Trieste was the site of prehistoric settlements called "castellieri" (forts), whose inhabitants belonged to populations probably of Illyrian origin and of Indo-European stock. Later, the indigenous population came into contact with another Caucasian ethnicity, the Veneti. After that, the city was conquered by the Romans and then by the Frankish kingdom. In the XII century finally it became a free commune. However after two centuries of war against the Republic of Venice, the citizens of Trieste petitioned the Habsburgs of Austria to become part of their domains. Trieste became an important port and trade hub and flourished under centuries of peace. In the Napeleonic Wars, Trieste was occupied by French troops but the city was returned to the Austrian empire in 1813. By the beginning of the 20th century, Trieste was a buzzing cosmopolitan city loved by artists and philosophers such as James Joyce and Sigmund Freud. This truly Mitterleuropean city became unified with Italy after World War I in 1920. It was occupied by the Germans during World War II, and with the Treaty of Paris (1947) became an independent city-state under the protection of the United Nations, whose territory was divided into two zones: zone A, included the city of Trieste was administered by the Anglo-Americans and the zone B administered by Yugoslavia. Only in 1954 the zone A became part of Italy and in 1963 Trieste became the capital.
Culture - what to do in
With the city's rich and eventful history, it's no surprise that the city was a crossroads of cultures and religions: next to the Italian and Slovenian populations there are also others ethnic groups. Home of Illy coffee, espresso famous all over the world, it has the only one production factory in Trieste in Via Flavia. The Café Espressamente Illy in Via delle Torri is the latest in a line of café bars running down the elegant sea front, many old with Hapsburg grandeur and some with live music. If you like opera, don't miss the beautiful Teatro Verdi.
What to do in Trieste? You have endless choice with stunning Habsburg architecture everywhere but don't miss the Castello Miramare, the most striking example. Take the Tranvia from Piazza Scorcola up to the Carso plateau for breathtaking views and beyond to the Grotta Gigante: a floodlit cavern with stalagmites the size of palm trees. Climb the steps from Piazza Goldoni to the Capitol Hill, past the 15th century castle and remains of the Roman Forum to the Romanesque cathedral of San Giusto.
Located in the northeast of Italy near the border with Slovenia. The city is built on an imposing escarpment linking the Kras Plateau with the Adriatic Sea.
The architecture is reminiscent of Habsburg Vienna with most buildings dating back to the time when Trieste was the harbour of the Habsburg Empire were designed primarily by Austrians Joseph and Junker. Notable buildings to see on your city breaks Italy include the Miramare Castle built for Maximilian of Habsburg between 1856 and 1860; the Mitteleuropa Mail and Telegraph Museum; three theatres including the Slovenian Repertory Theatre, the Rossetti Theatre and the Verdi Theatre; Borgo Terisiano - the canal surrounded by neoclassical buildings.
When you're deciding what to do in Trieste, consider timing your trip to coincide with one of the many major annual events including the Handicraft and Tourism Fair with typical food and wine in June; Operetta Festival in July; Mittelciok Chocolate Fair in December; and Trieste Song Festival in December.
Local transport is organised by Trieste Trasporti, comprising around 60 bus routes, two boat services, and the Opicina Tranway from the city centre to Villa Opicina. The nearest airport is the Fruili Venezia Giulia Airport at Ronchi near Monfalcone at the head of the gulf of Trieste.

5 Things Voters Need To Know About Medicare
The big changes politicians talk about won't happen this year. But they're coming.
If you're dependent on Medicare—as nearly 50 million Americans are—this year's presidential election could cause a lot of anxiety.
Medicare has become one of the biggest flash points between President Obama and his likely Republican rival, Mitt Romney, with the two men in deep disagreement about how to preserve this vital safety net program. The rhetoric is already explosive, with each candidate accusing the other of threatening to "end Medicare" as we know it.
[Photo Gallery: Free Clinic Offers Medical Services to the Uninsured]
The end of Medicare has been greatly exaggerated, and it's a good rule of thumb during any election to heavily discount the charges candidates level at each other. But Medicare will need some radical surgery over the coming years if it's going to continue providing health coverage for nearly all of the country's seniors. Here are five things to keep in mind as the candidates debate (and distort) each others' plans for this huge government program:
Medicare is headed for insolvency. The $550 billion spent on Medicare each year accounts for about 15 percent of the federal budget and makes Medicare the third costliest government program, after Social Security and defense. But Medicare's costs are growing faster than any other program due to the influx of baby boomers moving into the program, longer life expectancy and the overall rise in healthcare costs.
At current rates of growth, Medicare will basically bankrupt the U.S. government. By 2024, the trust fund that finances hospital stays and other inpatient treatment will be depleted. Of all the problems with government spending, fixing Medicare is probably the most urgent.
[See why the party is ending for the rich.]
Medicare recipients will eventually have to pay more for their own healthcare. Obama says he wants to keep Medicare more or less as it is, while raising taxes on the wealthy to keep benefits intact. Romney favors a "premium support" plan, in which the government only covers part of the cost for many recipients, with more generous benefits for the poor. There will be a huge battle over the details, but it seems likely that a compromise will provide more benefits than Romney has called for, yet still require larger co-payments by most recipients. The eligibility age will also probably rise higher than the current level of 65.
[See why women will rock the economic recovery.]
Making patients sensitive to costs will be a key element of reform. The current "fee-for-service" structure gives patients and caregivers little incentive to reduce costs, since the government basically pays for services, whether they make the patient healthier or not. Many reformers feel that patients would be far more selective if they had to bear more of the cost of most medical procedures, which would push overall program costs down. The Republicans' premium-support concept, for example, would give each beneficiary an annual allotment of funds, but leave it up to them how to spend their healthcare dollars. That, in theory, would encourage price competition and reduce wasteful spending.
Nothing will change this year. For all the bluster, there's practically no chance Congress will do anything to alter this popular program in the midst of a divisive election. Reforms could take root as early as 2013, however, when Congress needs to start addressing ways to corral the growth of the $15 trillion national debt. One likely consolation to seniors is that significant changes will be phased in gradually, with those already over 65 probably grandfathered in.
Every generation will be affected. Medicare reforms may actually affect the young more than the old, since it will be those under 55 that are most likely to be hit with benefit reductions, and perhaps tax increases if needed to maintain high coverage levels for current Medicare recipients. Any major cutback in support for seniors will raise the burden on the children most likely to look after them. That makes Medicare one program just about everybody should pay attention to.

7/29/2014 | Soria struggles in first home appearance
Tuesday night against the White Sox, reliever Joakim Soria, who was acquired from Texas last week, did absolutely nothing to endear himself to his new hometown fans.

Left-hander Kevin Ziomek, the Tigers' No. 6 prospect, threw six scoreless innings and struck out a career-high 13 batters on Monday, as Class A West Michigan defeated Kane County, 2-1.
7/27/2014 | Bullpen remains Tigers' focus at Trade Deadline
Last week's trade for Joakim Soria could be the opener of a two-part move to upgrade the Tigers' relief corps. "Our bullpen has been a situation that has been our major focus and, I guess, would continue to be our major focus if we are going to do something," said general manager Dave Dombrowski on the heels of the Soria deal.
7/27/2014 | Defensive lapse, late homer derail Tigers
Rick Porcello pitched seven strong innings but an errant pickoff throw led to the tying run in the fifth, and David Freese's eighth-inning solo homer off Joba Chamberlain sent the Tigers to their second 2-1 loss in three days and their third consecutive loss at Angel Stadium.
7/27/2014 | Red-hot Quintana to open set vs. first-place Tigers

7/27/2014 | Porcello, Santiago set for rematch in series finale
The last time Rick Porcello pitched at Angel Stadium, he didn't get out of the opening inning. His revenge came in Detroit this April, when his seven innings of one-run ball put the Tigers on the winning end of a duel with Hector Santiago. Three months later, they meet again.
7/26/2014 | Verlander outdueled by Michigan-born rookie
For the second consecutive night, the Tigers lost a battle with one of the Angels' young starters. On Saturday, Michigan-born Matt Shoemaker shut down the team he grew up following with seven innings of three-hit ball, sending the Tigers to a 4-0 loss at Angel Stadium.

Fans can see just how much difference a few months make when the new Top 100 is unveiled on Sunday night.

7/25/2014 | Nathan leans on sharp slider to strike out side
Tigers closer Joe Nathan struck out the side in order for just the second time this season Thursday night, and he needed just 12 pitches to do it. After drawing just six swings and misses from May 12-28, he saw six whiffs in his latest outing. Four of those came on a slider that has become a project of his in recent weeks.
7/25/2014 | Hunter soaring this month after gloomy June
Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter felt like he had this swing in him when he was struggling through June. Entering Friday, nobody in the American League with at least 70 at-bats in July had a higher OPS for the month than Hunter's 1.058 clip.
7/25/2014 | Scherzer reworks changeup, sees more whiffs
Normally, starting pitchers spend the day before a start simply keeping their arm fresh, putting the finishing touches on their game plan rather than working on anything major. Tigers right-hander Max Scherzer, however, had a changeup to his plan Thursday -- literally.

7/24/2014 | Soria ready to embrace seventh-inning role
Joakim Soria, who was acquired by the Tigers on Wednesday, had filled the closer's role in Texas, but he'll see the majority of his action in the seventh inning in Detroit, and that's fine with the veteran reliever.
7/24/2014 | Tigers pay the price to get Soria

7/23/2014 | Ausmus' successful challenge leads to big frame
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus won a challenge in the fourth inning of the club's game against the D-backs on Wednesday afternoon, and it helped Detroit blow the game open.
7/23/2014 | Tucson native Kinsler relishes playing at Chase Field
The southern Arizona town of Tucson doesn't have a Major League franchise, so the D-backs are as close to a "hometown" team as it gets for Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler.

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment.
In developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator [instrument], the aim of Isabel Briggs Myers, and her mother, Katharine Briggs, was to make the insights of type theory accessible to individuals and groups. They addressed the two related goals in the developments and application of the MBTI instrument:
The identification of basic preferences of each of the four dichotomies specified or implicit in Jung's theory.
There are four preferences within the MBTI:
Favorite world:
Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on your own inner world? This is called Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I).
Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you take in or do you prefer to interpret and add meaning? This is called Sensing (S) or Intuition (N).
When making decisions, do you prefer to first look at logic and consistency or first look at the people and special circumstances? This is called Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).
In dealing with the outside world, do you prefer to get things decided or do you prefer to stay open to new information and options? This is called Judging (J) or Perceiving (P).
Your Personality Type:
When you decide on your preference in each category, you have your own personality type, which can be expressed as a code with four letters.
(The information generated above is from:
To understand your preferences by taking the MBTI, please call Ms. Meredith Clinard at the ECU Career Center. 252.328.6050.

A divided Alaska Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered an interim redistricting plan due to the fast-approaching 2012 elections. This action prompted the Petersburg City Council to meet in an emergency session on Wednesday to decide the city's next step in this on-going legal battle.
This means the Redistricting board will have to go back to an earlier map until after the elections. This would put Petersburg back in Proclamation District 32 with downtown Juneau, Douglas, Tenakee Springs, Gustavus and Skagway. The district is currently represented by Democrat Beth Kerttula.
Petersburg has spent $39,000 in legal fees asking the court to compel the board to combine it with the more similar communities of Sitka and Wrangell.
The court on Tuesday said the reason for its decision was that, "because of the numerous objections that this court has received [to the May 15 plan]…there is a risk that the United States Department of Justice would decline to pre-clear [the May 15 Southeast districts] under the Voting Rights Act. Notice of the failure of the Department of Justice to pre-clear the new districts would come so late in the 2012 election cycle that a great disruption to the election process would result."
The court, however, reaffirmed its earlier decision that the board did not comply with the court's March 14, 2012 order in its retaining the Proclamation Plan districting of Southeast, and said its final order "will contain a discussion of and directions concerning the reconfiguration of the Southeast districts…" This means Petersburg may be placed in a district that is more compliant with the Alaska Constitution for the 2014 and subsequent elections.
In response to the court's decisions, the City Council voted to file a Motion for Reconsideration.
Petersburg City Attorney Tom Klinkner told the council the new plan raises three issues for the court. "One is that Bill Thomas would be paired with another incumbent and they don't like that, another is the redistricting apparently eliminates any district that has more than 30 percent Native population and, they don't like that, and the third they thought that at least one district should include Yakutat," Klinkner said.
Petersburg had previously argued that the Voting Rights Act doesn't require that there be a district with 30 percent Native voting age population. The only thing the act requires is that the state not lose a district that is large enough to elect a representative of their choice, 30 percent is not large enough that they could do that, Klinker said.
The plan that Petersburg had presented to the Superior Court last fall was one that did preserve a 30 percent over-voting age district in Southeast.
Klinkner told the council that this was the only plan that would "get any traction with the Justice Department."
"It would be going back to the court and saying 'Hey, here's a way out. Here's a way that preserves the Alaska Constitution as far as redistricting in Southeast. And it presents a plan that is not vulnerable to Justice Department objections," Klinker said.
"If you are going to have districts that are compact, then you are going to have to pair Senator Bill Thomas with another incumbent. But that's not a strong Voting Rights Act issue, if it's an issue at all," he added.
The city has 10 days to file a motion in this case.
"The City of Petersburg is disappointed that the Redistricting Board continues to challenge the courts on redrawing the lines. From our perspective, time would be better spent redoing the plan as instructed by the Superior Court and the earlier Supreme Court ruling. Appealing this latest judicial decision to the Supreme Court just makes it harder for the State of Alaska Elections Division, the legislators up for reelection, and the citizens of Alaska," City Manager Steve Giesbrecht said in a statement. He was not in attendance at the meeting.

Tottenham to start building new 58,000-seater stadium after Government gives green light
Published: 22 November 2012
Lazio club president Claudio Lotito has claimed the Italian side's supporters were not to blame for an attack on Spurs fans in Rome ahead of the Europa League match between the two sides.
Lazio fans were suspected, but Lotito (above) said: "The Lazio fans have nothing to do with what happened at Camp de Fiori."
Local news reported that at least one Roma fan had been identified by police as being involved.
The brawl began sometime after 1am and was over within 20 minutes, bar owner Marco Manzi said.
He claimed police were virtually absent from the brawl, though police disputed that and officials noted that pubs have their own private security.
"There was a total absence of law enforcement," Manzi said.
He said after the brawl ended inside the pub, the thugs escaped and knifed another victim about 20 metres (yards) away, down a small cobblestone street.
Police said in their statement that their patrol units on duty in Campo de Fiori alerted headquarters as soon as the fight broke out and that "all available patrols," an ambulance and carabinieri reinforcements were quickly sent.

UPDATE 11/20/12 @ 3:40 p.m.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Drivers will soon have a new tool that will help them get from place to place.
Crews across West Virginia are putting up 511 signs along all the major interstates and highways.
The signs serve as a reminder to drivers they can call 511 and find out about accidents, construction projects and road conditions.
However, the system is not operational yet.
The state's new 511 system is expected to launch sometime next month.
The Public Service Commission approved the 511 system on Thursday.
The new system will provide information about accidents, construction, weather and other events that affect traffic across the state.
The Federal Communications Commission set aside the three-digit 511 code in 2000 to allow states to develop telephone systems that provide free travel information.
In its order, the PSC says all wireline carriers operating in the state will have to program their switching equipment so 511 calls are properly routed.
No additional costs will be passed on to taxpayers because the DOH will pay for the system.
