More than one magistrate knew the Federal Bureau of Investigation was probably looking into the Barren County Detention Center before the fiscal court voted to hire private investigator Michael J. Ober, but they decided $3,500 on Ober would still be well spent.
Magistrate Gary Gillon was one of the fiscal court members who knew as early as the summer of 2011 that there were complaints of misconduct at the jail.
"I heard a little something about it about six months before it came to light," Gillon said.
When Gillon heard the rumors, he said he went to Barren County Judge-Executive Davie Greer's office to ask her about them.
"I asked her, 'Have you heard about anything going on at the jail?'" Gillon said. "She was writing, and she put her pen down and she didn't answer me. She answered by asking me a question. She asked, 'Have you?' I said yeah, and she said, 'Well keep it to yourself.'"
Greer didn't want to acknowledge to him that she'd heard anything, Gillon said, and he didn't think he should pursue it since the rumors he heard sounded like personnel matters, "no criminal intent or neglect of the prisoners." Former jail employee Larry Eaton called Gillon to report some problems after he was fired, but Gillon said that again, they didn't seem like criminal issues.
Gillon thought the state police were investigating at the time, he said, but he realized later it had been the FBI. Even though he had heard there was already a law enforcement investigation, Gillon said he still wanted to hire Ober because he thought a private investigator would be able to talk to every jail employee, and if they did not report any problems, that would insure the county against employee lawsuits in the future.
"I just thought $3,000-$3,500 would be good insurance for that many people," Gillon said.
Like Gillon, magistrate John Benningfield said he was not looking for Ober to investigate criminal wrongdoing. Benningfield had heard sexual misconduct allegations related to the jail, and remembering sexual harassment scandal and lawsuits involving former jailer Leland Cox, Benningfield said he thought hiring Ober to specifically investigate sexual misconduct could prevent a repeat of the prior situation. Jailer Matt Mutter said in a meeting that he didn't have a problem with hiring a private investigator, Benningfield said, so he thought voting in favor of Ober made sense.
"Hindsight is 20/20," Benningfield said. "I don't think hiring Ober was the right move."
Benningfield had already heard about the FBI's investigation before the fiscal court discussed hiring Ober. He and at least two other magistrates had heard the FBI was investigating, he said, but it wasn't a definite fact. Benningfield said he thought Ober could look into sexual misconduct, while he knew the FBI was more concerned with civil rights violations.
"The reason why I wanted (Ober) had nothing to do with what the FBI was doing," Benningfield said.

There was another scare at Charlottesville Albemarle Airport Wednesday, January 19th.
A flight had to make an emergency landing with just one engine.
A US Airways Express plane on its way to Pittsburg had to be diverted to CHO. It lost power in one engine and was forced to make an emergency landing around 7:45 pm.
The plane skid off the runway into the grass as it landed. Rescue workers credit the pilot with doing a great job landing the plane. Emergency personnel unloaded more than 20 passengers.
This is the second plane that has been diverted to Charlottesville/Albemarle Airport with one engine out in less than a week.

UK coach Joker Phillips responded to a report of lagging ticket sales at Friday's annual Kickoff Luncheon. Phillips said more great moments for his team are to come.
The Lexington Herald Leader, after an open records request reported that as of Sunday UK had sold 35,486 season tickets, a decline of 27 percent from last year's final total.
Speaking before the luncheon, Phillips talked to reporters.
"First of all, to those who bought the tickets, our guys are working extremely hard to reward them with a great season with some great moments, which we've had a lot of great moments here at Kentucky," he said.
"The last couple years we had two really great moments in beating South Carolina and beating Tennessee, so there's some more great moments to come. To those who haven't gone out and bought tickets, I would suggest you do. Our players are working extremely hard to makes sure we have some of those moments."
On the podium at the luncheon, Phillips was more emotional talking to UK fans.
"So get behind this team. It's your team. We're selling you the fans," he said.
" Don't do it for Joker Phillips. I don't care how you feel about Joker Phillips or this staff. Do it for these young men, who have agreed to come here to represent you, represent you the right way."

Shutdown Corner
Watch Sammy Watkins make a slick, one-handed catch in practice (Video)Eric Edholm at Shutdown Corner14 hrs ago
The Buffalo Bills paid a steep price to land Sammy Watkins.
We're now getting out first glimpse of why they were so enamored with him.
[ Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: Sign up and play free Fantasy Football!]
The No. 4 overall pick in May's draft was running what appears to be an out-and-up, and he actually slipped at the top of his route. But Watkins regains his balance, adjusts to the ball and sticks out his big right paw to make a fantastic catch.
Granted, it was against "air" defense. But Watkins showed that be brings some serious game to Buffalo.

Jamaal Charles' holdout ends before it begins with hefty pay raiseEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner14 hrs ago
That doesn't even qualify as a holdout.
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles will report to training camp with a contract extension that will pay him significantly more than the $3.9 million he was scheduled to make in base salary this season, reported first by Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Jamaal Charles will get $18 million in new money as part of his 2-year extension with the Chiefs, source tells @FOXSports1
Jamaal Charles made as much as any RB not named Adrian Peterson over the last 5 years. Now will make $8.3M this year instead of $3.9M

Vikings won't change stadium design despite concerns it will kill birdsJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner15 hrs ago
The Vikings' new stadium will be an architectural marvel, soaring into the skies above Minneapolis and featuring 200,000 square feet of exposed glass. It'll be an impressive testament to the team ... and,if the Audubon Society is to be believed, a gargantuan deathtrap for birds.
The problem with the stadium, according to the Audubon Society, is that birds will fly straight into its windows, assuming that the reflection of the parkland around the stadium is just more open space. Nothing goes with a football game like some bird mortality, right?
The Audubon Society has worked with the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority to try to reach some kind of accommodation. The authority has agreed to dim the stadium's lights at night, but did not agree to additional glazing on the glass to cut down on reflectivity.
John Elway cries talking about Broncos owner Pat BowlenFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner15 hrs ago
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – John Elway sat down to talk about Pat Bowlen, and after a few opening words there was silence.
Elway looked down, trying to compose himself. After a long pause he finally exhaled loudly. It never got easier.
On Wednesday the Broncos announced that Bowlen, the team's owner for 30 years, is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He has stepped down completely from running the team. The sadness at the Broncos' facility, as players reported for training camp, was palpable. Nobody in the organization was hit harder by the news than Elway.
Not long after Elway, the team's general manager, continued to speak about Bowlen, following his long pause, he started crying. It was as emotional as he has been in public since his retirement media conference in 1999.
"This place will never be the same," he said.
The news about Bowlen might not have had an enormous effect around the country because Bowlen wasn't a celebrity owner. And that's what made him so popular in Denver.
Seahawks' Sidney Rice decides to retire at age 27Eric Edholm at Shutdown Corner15 hrs ago
There was a point not that long ago that you could have argued that Sidney Rice was among the most promising and gifted young wide receivers in the NFL. Now, at age 27, he is hanging up his cleats.
Rice announced his retirement through the Seattle Seahawks' official website Wednesday, citing a concern about his long-term health amid what has been a few injury-plagued seasons.
[ Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: Sign up and play free Fantasy Football!]
"I was just thinking about things I've been through in the last few years," Rice said. "I've hit the ground a number of times. I have quite a few injuries. It's something I've always battled through and came back from.
"But I just figure at this point I have the rest of my life ahead of me and I want to be able to function and do things later down the road."
Seahawks mascot completely jukes poor 49ers fanJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner17 hrs ago
It's tough being a San Francisco fan right about now. Not only are you in hands-down the toughest division in football, your hated rival is both beating you into the turf and winning Super Bowls. That, friends, is pain.
We're not quite sure of the provenance of this clip, but we still love it: Seattle's mascot challenging a 49ers fan to defend him on an out route. And the fan fails, and falls, badly. Oh my. Let's watch it again and again and again:
Offseason's only a few more days, folks. Hang on. Almost there.

Vernon Davis shows up at San Francisco 49ers training campEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner19 hrs ago
One major potential holdout has been averted.
Vernon Davis capped of his will-he-or-won't-he summer of waffling and misdirection over the issue of his contract by reporting to San Francisco 49ers training camp on Wednesday.
[ Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: Sign up and play free Fantasy Football!]
49ers safety/team historian C.J. Spillman "broke" the news on Instagram.
This is obviously good news for the 49ers, who might not have been sure about Davis' intentions. He has made it clear that he wants a new contract, and though nothing has been made official on that front publicly, Davis had to know that with two years left on his deal and daily potential fines of $30,000 had he not shown up, the math wasn't quite adding up.

Organization blasts Giants for hiring David Tyree, who opposes gay marriageFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner19 hrs ago
The story of the New York Giants hiring David Tyree to be their director of player development seemed heartwarming on the surface.
Tyree made one of the greatest plays in NFL history, the famous "Helmet Catch" that led to the Giants upsetting the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. He never caught another NFL pass. The Giants hiring him was a callback to their past glory, bringing a former Super Bowl hero home.
The Human Rights Campaign wasn't so excited about the idea, recalling Tyree's views on gay people and his stance on gay marriage in 2011, and ripped the Giants for the hire.
Tyree tweeted in 2011 that "there is no scientific evidence to support the claim of being born gay," according to CBS New York. He also told the New York Daily News in 2011 that he'd trade his famous catch and the Giants' championship to stop gay marriage.
Reggie Wayne arrives at Indianapolis Colts camp in, naturally, an Indy carEric Edholm at Shutdown Corner20 hrs ago
Reggie Wayne rides in style. Especially when it's time to report to camp.
Whether it's his riding-around car we don't know, but Wayne made a terrific entrance to Indianapolis Colts training camp: via an Indy racing car.
[ Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: Sign up and play free Fantasy Football!]
Colts fans were probably hoping for Wayne, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury a year ago, to arrive in some kind of protective bubble. But this will do. The 35-year-old wide receiver is back and ready for action.
Reggie Wayne says he has been cleared. Just like Vick Ballard said earlier today.
And check out the custom "87" racing helmet. Nice touch.

Shutdown Countdown: Pittsburgh Steelers ready to build off strong finishFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner20 hrs ago
Shutdown Corner is previewing all 32 teams as we get ready for the NFL season, counting down the teams one per day in reverse order or our initial 2014 power rankings. No. 1 will be revealed on Aug. 2, the day before the preseason begins with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton.
Seeing the Pittsburgh Steelers wallowing at the bottom of the NFL's pool, at 2-6 halfway through their 2013 season, was stunning.
That doesn't happen to the Steelers. Pathetic performances in losses to woebegone teams like the Raiders and Vikings typically don't happen to them either. Neither does giving up 55 points in a game like Pittsburgh did at New England. It was the most points allowed in franchise history.
Then, in the second half, the Steelers showed up. They went 6-2. One of the losses was a 22-20 Thanksgiving loss at Baltimore, and Pittsburgh failed on a two-point conversion with 1:06 left. There was a 34-28 loss to Miami the next week, in which the Steelers led with less than three minutes remaining. They were very close to running the table in the second half.

The racing short that pros built.
In spite of the fact that Castelli makes a wonderfully comfortable pair of women's bib shorts, there are still all sorts of reasons why you may still prefer bib-less shorts. Whether you're looking for comfort or simplicity, or both, you'll get them from the Castelli Body Paint 2.0 Women's Shorts. From their remarkable fit that looks and feels painted on to a host of improved features, these shorts will spoil you completely for any other kit.
The shorts on the Women's Body Paint 2.0 Shorts are formed from a single piece of seamless fabric for a naturally supportive fit. The shorts feel like they are hugging you perfectly in any position, thanks to this anatomic fit and the as well as the highly compressive fabric. This smooth fit, combined with the aero dimples employed in the material, make this is the most aerodynamic short on the market. Castelli engineered the dimples into the fabric to induce flow separation and reduce aerodynamic drag. Think of it as the clothing equivalent for the Zipp rim dimples.
Virtually no seams also means that there are fewer places to irritate your body and there are fewer opportunities for a wardrobe malfunction to occur. After all, who hasn't experienced a perfectly good pair of shorts coming apart at the seams?
Perhaps nothing in these shorts has benefited as much from Castelli's association with professional cycling teams as the Progetto X2 Air Seat Pad. The Garmin-Cervelo team spent a year testing this short; that's a lot of saddle time to be thinking about how comfort could be improved. Since Castelli had it pretty right to begin with, there wasn't much more than tweaking going on. What it has done is add a perforated foam layer to the pad to help ventilate and keep the nether regions cooler by allowing air to flow directly onto the surface fabric. That layer sitting next to your skin is made from a four-way stretch, seamless, bacteriostatic layer designed to move with you, reducing any bunching and friction. The cushioning layer consists of strategically placed, multi-density foam. For good measure, perforated viscous comfort inserts have been added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineal pressure areas, so that your undercarriage will be supremely protected whether you are out on a two-hour weekday jaunt or training over cobbles for Roubaix.
The updated Giro3 integrated leg grippers have been intelligently fashioned so that the grip material has been knit directly into the short. The generous 5 cm wide band gently compresses to secure the leg hem in place. It also lies completely flat, keeping your leg as aero as if it were in a skin suit. Castelli engineered the wide Giro 2 waistband for comfort as well, making it soft, stretchy, and non-binding.
The Castelli Body Paint 2.0 Women's Shorts are available in a sleek Black with eye-catching Castelli branding. They come in sizes X-Small through X-Large.
- Wide waistband won't dig into your tummy on longer rides
- Sublimated Castelli logo hit on the legs provides a subtly feminine touch

This is the second pair of body paint 2.0...
Member since
This is the second pair of body paint 2.0 shorts I have tried. Both of them had the same defect. THe front edge of the chamois is rolling up/doubling over. I thought the first pair was just a fluke, but didn't even try on the new ones, they came straight out of the bag like this. Has anyone else had this issue. I really want to like these, but not willing to fight w the chamois. Hate to order a third pair only to find its just how they are made?

SO comfortable! Great compression, excellent fit, top-of-the line breathability...I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Size small was a good fit (5'7", 120#), comparable to Castelli windstopper tights in terms of sizing.

Re: ComminutyBroadcasting on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 2:19am
I loved this episode, especially how his wife and bestfriend turned against him in the end. They show just enough at the ending to make you curious but not piss you off.
Re: ComminutyManicRaider on Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 6:09pm
I literally just finished watching this episode and it's the best "Gated Community Horror" story I've ever seen. There was one on the new Twilight Zone (2002) and it was good but then it ended up being some government run thing and at the end the unruly daughter was turned into mulch or something silly like that.

Fans and players hoist Aurora Central Catholic's Anthony Andujar after his game-winning three-pointer to lift the Chargers over Wheaton Academy on Wednesday. | Jeff Cagle~For Sun-Times Media
Aurora Central Catholic has had bigger victories but none as dramatic.
The Chargers rallied from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter and Anthony Andujar sank the game-winning three-pointer with 1.8 seconds left as ACC stunned top-seeded Wheaton Academy 41-37 on Wednesday at the Class 3A IMSA Regional semifinals.
The victory advanced the fourth-seeded Chargers (16-12) to Friday's regional championship game, where they will take on No. 2 seed St. Francis, which beat Kaneland 43-32.
Andujar, a senior guard, played on the ACC team that won a sectional title two years ago, but said this victory means more.
"I think this is our biggest win," Andujar said. "Words can't describe how happy I am right now. I'm so excited."
As were the ACC fans, who stormed the court after Andujar made his decisive shot from the top of the key, which gave the Chargers a 38-37 lead.
The game wasn't over as Wheaton Academy was able to call timeout, but Warriors' guard Collin Roy received a technical foul, giving the Chargers two free throws and the ball. Andujar split the free throws and then Zach Flint scored on a layup at the buzzer to cap the upset.
"We're really disappointed," Wheaton Academy coach Paul Ferguson said. "ACC made the plays when it counted. We had the game, we had the ball. We uncharacteristically turned the ball over in the fourth quarter and missed some shots."
The Warriors (19-7) were heavy favorites after routing the Chargers twice during the regular season – 66-51 on Dec. 8 and 55-24 on Jan. 24.
But ACC scored the first eight points of this contest and gave the Warriors fits by playing a more deliberate style. Wheaton scored the next 11 points in holding the Chargers scoreless for a 6:11 stretch but was only up 13-12 at halftime.
"We were more patient on offense," Andujar said. "We executed our offense. They were lighting it up on us during the regular season both games, but with our man-to-man defense [tonight] we wouldn't let them get off that '3' at all."
Even so, the Warriors built a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter and were still up 35-27 following a Roy three-pointer with 5:02 left.
That's when ACC senior forward Phil Schuetz went to work, scoring five straight points during a 7-0 run. Schuetz was a non-factor in the first half, picking up three fouls, but erupted to score all of his 16 points after intermission, including 12 in the fourth quarter.
"I just tried to keep playing hard and crashing the boards as much as possible," Schuetz said. "I just kept waiting to get a look and then capitalized on it when I did."
The 6-3 Schuetz made his first five shots of the second half as well as 6-of-8 free throws. He also helped defend against Wheaton's 6-8 junior center Gordon Behr, who had 13 points, six rebounds and two blocks.
Behr, however, was in foul trouble throughout, getting two in the first quarter and drawing his fourth with :08 left in the third quarter. He fouled out with 3:14 to go and Wheaton up 35-32.
"He was a beast inside," Schuetz said. "He wasn't letting anything go inside. When he came out, that opened things up a little bit more. Then we were able to run our stuff better."
That played a big factor in ACC coach Nathan Drye's decision-making when he took a timeout with 21 seconds left to draw up the final play. The plan was to get it inside to Schuetz and if he was double-teamed, kick it back out to Andujar.
"We didn't run that play at all until the end of the game and then we ran it and they weren't ready for it," Drye said. "I knew they were going to help double-team Phil with Anthony's man. We thought Anthony would be coming off the screen and be open. He was open and thank God he stuck the shot."
Ironically, Andujar had been scoreless before that, taking only four shots. But no one was surprised he made it.
"I knew that if we had the open look that he was going to make it," Schuetz said. "Anthony is one of the most clutch kids I've ever met. He's made huge shots before and I knew he'd make another one."
"I felt real confident," Andujar said. "There were a lot of guys on me but I knew I was going to knock it down. I had to knock that down."
Shawn Soris had 11 points and six steals for ACC, which also got six points from Flint. The Chargers made 14 of 17 free throws, including a 4-for-4 effort from reserve Sean Anger.
Roy had nine points and Jake Cousins scored six for Wheaton, which lost its playoff opener for the second straight year.

Night of the Living Dead. It was Filmed by George A Romero (one of my heroes) With the cast consisting primarily of friends and relatives. To this day it still has a great fan following and it sparked a legendary horror career

Ultimate no budget moviekidaaa on Tuesday, January 30, 2007 - 3:07pm
i would say night of the living dead which is one of the scariest movies of all time, but the blair witch project was so awesomely promoted it wins the nod, besides the movie was cool to it made you use your imagination, with the internet,television,radio, and every other medium this movie made so much money on so little a budget

yes but if you concider the value of the dollar from then until now ,..george romero did more with style and quality for far less.
Ultimate no budget movieAdam G on Tuesday, February 27, 2007 - 12:06pm
For me it's still a toss up between Night of the Living Dead and The Blair Witch Project. Both movies were incredible, and the directors were able to do so much on a practically nonexistent budget. I think Blair Witch cost like 35K to make, and Night of the Living Dead cost like 60K. I think I have that right. Either way...both movies were very good for costing so little to make. Both of them had a huge impact on the nation...and both of them are still favorites of many. Nuff Said.
Ultimate no budget moviesfruauenfed on Saturday, March 3, 2007 - 7:45pm
I'm going to go with Night of the Living Dead. Still one of my all time favorites.
Ultimate no budget moviejude3500 on Sunday, March 4, 2007 - 6:13am
Night of the Living Dead... hands down. It was SO MUCH MORE than a horror movie. It was one of the first movies to have a Black Man as a major leading character. the fight against good and evil was really the fight against themselves. Romero was telling a story, a horror story and a cultural one in the days of civil rights.
The Blair Witch Project had NO SUBSTANCE other than a good flick on a short budget but... it did have a few dozen million behind its marketing. Now, I do like the Blair Witch Project since it was enjoyable and I liked the documentry style realistic approach. But, pound for pound if one is going to pick an indy of horror to awnser the question, "who did the most with what they had" it cannot be anyone other than George. Think of how artistic it was for the time, the details of the New Reports, etc... not to mention it had a nude woman's butt in it (but if shes a walking dead nude woman I guess its fine).

UPDATE, 2:15 p.m.: Authorities reported a second motorcycle crash in the area of Angeles Crest Highway, Sunday afternoon.
The second crash was reported on the right shoulder of the mountain road near Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Road, in the same area as the first reported crash, according to CHP officer Monica Posada.
The most recent reports indicate the second crash victim received major injuries in the solo motorcycle crash, first reported around 12:30 p.m. The crash victim was transported to Huntington Memorial Hospital.
Both incidents were reported by the US Forestry Service, authorities said.
No further details were immediately known about the first crash earlier Sunday.
Previously: Authorities are still on scene of a motorcycle accident on Angeles Crest Highway past Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Road, Sunday morning.
The crash was first reported to authorities before 11 a.m. near mile marker 42, well above the community of Sierra Madre.
The motorcycle was reportedly 50 feet over the side of the road, said Monica Posada of the California Highway Patrol. It is unknown if the motorcyclist was helped to the road by responding emergency personnel, passersby or under the riders own power.
According to scanner reports, Air Rescue 5 from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department called off emergency ground units and tended to the victim. It was unknown where the victim was flown to, or if there were more than one person injured.
This story will continue to be updated as information becomes available.

Editor's note: The following is a copy of an email dated May 17 sent by former Derry Town Councilor Janet Fairbanks to Derry Town Administrator John Anderson.
I just read the article in The Eagle-Tribune that quoted you as stating that you had met yesterday with Bev Ferrante and that Bev will be notifying vendors that the Farmers Market will continue, but only for this summer. You had publicly stated at last Tuesday's Town Council meeting that you would be returning all the monies which the Town had received from the Farmer's Market Vendors and that there would be no Farmer's Market.
If the Farmers Market is to continue this upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, there is a zero line item for revenue for the Farmers Market. Again, you have publicly stated not once but twice, that all money which the Town of Derry had received from the Farmers Market Vendors would be returned to them. How do you plan to proceed with the market for the upcoming fiscal year?
Will the Farmers Market be free to the vendors? If so, I think that would be a wonderful idea! A free Farmers Market to vendors would certainly increase the number of vendors, which have been declining in the years since the market's inception. I would think that if the Town advertised that Derry would be having a free Market to all Vendors this summer, that many farmers and local artisans would participate in it, which would of course attract more shoppers to the market.
If it is your intent to keep the monies from vendors who have prepaid and to charge those vendors that have not yet paid, what will you do with the money? Will you put it in the general fund to offset the tax rate for next year or will you use it to pay the Farmers Market director more money than the Derry Town Council has allocated for her salary for the upcoming fiscal year?
Please advise.
Janet Fairbanks

It's that special time of year again -- time for football, family and ridiculous amounts of food. Oh, and it's also the time to give thanks for football, family and food. Especially football.
Once you've put away that last bite of turkey and loosened your belt a few notches, I'm sure you'll have a tiny bit of room to ingest some Thanksgiving knowledge:
1. The first Thanksgiving was a harvest feast in Plymouth, Mass. It's widely acknowledged that in 1621, Pilgrims from the Mayflower broke bread with local Native Americans -- the Wampanoag Indians, to be exact. This three-day feast later became known as Thanksgiving. Everyone knows this one, right?
What some folks may not know:
- The only documentation of that feast comes from two brief passages from the Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow.
- The second Thanksgiving celebration was held in 1623 to mark the end of a long drought.
2. Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a holiday. Lincoln must have loved him some turkey, because in October 1863 he made the fourth Thursday in November a national holiday.
He probably clocks in as America's second-greatest turkey-lover, right behind Ben Franklin, who tried to make the turkey our national bird. If that had happened, maybe we'd be eating bald eagle every November.
In 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to move Thanksgiving to the third Thursday in November. He hoped the move would help retail sales during the Great Depression -- the start of the tradition? When that didn't fly, he conceded and signed a bill making Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday of the month.
But the aforementioned presidents weren't the only people to have a major impact on Thanksgiving…
3. The author of "Mary had a Little Lamb" helped make Thanksgiving possible. Sarah Josepha Hale, an American writer and editor, campaigned to make Thanksgiving a national holiday for 36 years. Lincoln heeded her request in 1863 (see #2).
And yeah, she also wrote "Mary had a Little Lamb."
4. In the United States, folks eat around 46 million turkeys each year at Thanksgiving. According to the National Turkey Federation, 244 million turkeys were raised in 2010, and roughly one-fifth of those were eaten in one day -- and possibly in sandwiches over the following few days as well.
Ninety-one percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day, and the average weight of a Turkey Day turkey is 15 pounds.
There is hope for a few turkeys, however. Each year -- since the mid-20th century -- the president has "pardoned" one or two Thanksgiving turkeys. The forever-grateful birds are then sent to a farm to live out their days in retirement.
5. The Detroit Lions are as Thanksgiving as cranberry sauce. The first time the Lions played on Thanksgiving Day was in 1934 -- seven years before Congress passed the law that made it a national holiday (before that, the decree came from the president).
Since '34, there have been only five occasions that the Lions did not play on Thanksgiving. In fact, they've been playing on Thanksgiving before games were even televised, which began in 1956.
I'm no Lions fan, but I'll be watching, and eating, and giving thanks today.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, it is a near certainty that current T-Mobile subscribers will eventually have access to Apple's iPhone without having to switch wireless providers. Seeing as the deal is estimated to take a year to finalize however, access won't be immediate.

Sports Editor
Nobody inside the West Virginia basketball program would have signed up for what the team has experienced so far this season.
A streak of six losses in eight games? That's almost uncharted territory in WVU basketball history, and certainly in the career of head coach Bob Huggins. Losing to Davidson and Duquesne? That's just not supposed to happen. And a 27-point loss against an average Purdue team on the road, well that was nothing short of a nightmare for the folks wearing gold and blue — or black and white as it's been so often in recent years.
Yet heading into tonight's 9 p.m. game at Baylor on ESPN2, the Mountaineers (12-11, 5-5) are still very much in the hunt in the Big 12 race. They're just two games behind Kansas and Kansas State — who are tied at the top at 8-3, Oklahoma State is a half-game back at 7-3 — in the loss column, and one game behind a group of three four-loss teams that are tied for fourth.
With seven of the 10 conference teams sill within striking distance, the end of the season could get very interesting.
"I think every coach is just trying to make sure their team is one of the teams in the hunt and trying to win the next game," said Baylor head coach Scott Drew, whose Bears will bring a 15-8 overall record and a 6-4 league mark into tonight's game with WVU.
The fact that WVU is a part of that group is surely a surprise to many. After a 61-56 home loss to Kansas last Monday, the Mountaineers were 9-11 overall and 2-5 in league play. They were one of the worst shooting teams in the country, and they were finding every way possible to lose games — heartbreaking mistakes late in games, uninspired efforts that led to blowouts, big leads that were blown in an instant or simply coming up one or two baskets short.
Since that time, though, WVU has beat up on the Lone Star State, winning at Texas Tech and TCU with a home victory over the Texas Longhorns in between. The three-game winning streak was the first since late December, and tonight the Mountaineers will play another Texas squad, Baylor, looking for the first four-game winning streak of the season.
"We've been so close," said Huggins. "We were real close to beating Kansas here. We were real close to beating Iowa State at Iowa State. We just never really got over the hump and finished a game. Hopefully we have enough confidence now.
"We finally made some shots," he continued, explaining the major reason for his team's improved performance. "In at least two of the three (wins) we shot over 50 percent, and it was like 48 against Texas. When we make shots, we give ourselves a chance."
Eron Harris has been a major part of the improved shooting numbers. The freshman guard has reached double figures in seven of WVU's last nine games. Terry Henderson, another freshman guard, is also healthy again and has scored 33 points in the last three games, including 17 at TCU on Saturday.
Aaron Murray leads the Mountaineers with 9.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Juwan Staten is averaging 9.1 points and three assists.
"I think all year long they've been very solid defensively and very good on the boards," said Drew. "I think their offense has picked it up. They've got a couple guys now that are making more shots and playing a little more than they did early in the year. When you add that to good defense and good rebounding, that's what gets you wins."
Baylor, though, will be anything but any easy matchup. The Bears are second in the Big 12 in scoring offense, averaging more than 75 points per game, and they lead the league in rebounding, pulling down nearly 40 beards per game.
"It's hard to be successful in college basketball if you can't hold your own on the glass," said Drew. "We've been better the last couple years."
Senior point guard Pierre Jackson is the conference's top scorer, averaging 19.1 points per game, and he's also a distributor, leading the league with 6.05 assists per contest.
In an 83-81 overtime victory over the Mountaineers last season, Jackson has 23 points and four assists, and he scored eight consecutive points at the end of regulation and into overtime. He also had three steals and five rebounds.
"He beat us scoring a year ago," remembered Huggins. "He's certainly one of the best players in the league. He can really score the ball, and he does a great job with ball screens. Obviously, they can get you spread, because they have a number of other guys capable of making shots, as well."
It's all cleaned up in the paint by 7-foot-1 freshman center Isaiah Austin, who's averaging 14 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.
Following the trip to Baylor, West Virginia will get a 9-12 Texas Tech team in the WVU Coliseum on Saturday before hitting the road for a huge opportunity against No. 10 Kansas State that could really get the Mountaineers back in the conference mix.
Any chance at a late-season run, though, has to start tonight.

MOVIE REVIEW: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
A fun popcorn movie with plenty of gory action from beginning to end, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters may surprise moviegoers. As long as you can join in the fun that the story seems to convey, this new twist on a dark fairy tale may spellbind!
Posted by Chuck Ingersoll ,
Rated: R Fantasy horror violence and gore, brief sexuality/nudity and language.
Release Date: January 25, 2013
Runtime: 1 hour 28 minutes
Director: Tommy Wirkola
Writers: Tommy Wirkola, Dante Harper
Cast: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Famke Janssen, Zoe Bell, Peter Stormare, Thomas Mann, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Robin Atkin Downes, Derek Mears
SYNOPSIS: In this spin on the fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel are now bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world. As the fabled Blood Moon approaches, the siblings encounter a new form of evil that might hold a secret to their past.
REVIEW: Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola moves from Nazi zombies to child-eating witches with a script he crafted with new-comer co-writer Dante Harper. Originally a well-known fairy tale of German origin and published in 1812 by the Brothers Grimm, Wirkola looks to up the ante with adult siblings with a mysterious past, a cache of weapons, and a perchance for hunting down and killing patrons of black cauldrons and darker magics.
As children, Hansel (Jeremy Renner, Marvel's The Avengers) and his sister Gretel (Gemma Arterton, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time) are led into the woods by their father by behest of their mother. Left alone in the woods, they find a house made out of candy. They enter the house, cold and hungry, suddenly finding themselves the prisoners of even hungrier witch. With a little bit of luck, Hansel and Gretel kill the witch and escape with their lives. As they grow up, the siblings continue to hunt down and dispatch witches wherever they find them. They become renowned as witch hunters. Years later, in the town of Oxford, several children have been abducted by witches, forcing the sheriff Berringer (Peter Stormare, The Last Stand) to perform public hearings and forcing the mayor to contract with Hansel and Gretel to find the children and kill the witches. But the actions of the witch they seek baffled the hunters. As another child get taken, Hansel and Gretel must overcome extreme odds against a cadre of spellcaster and a troll led by Muriel (Famke Janssen,Taken 2) to prevail. The question is... with only a local fan named Ben (Thomas Mann, Fun Size) and a woman named Mina (Pihla Viitala, Must Have Been Love) who was formerly accused of being a witch... will they live to slay another day?
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters follows in a long line of classics including Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Red Hood: Werewolf Slayer, and Teddy Roosevelt: Rough Riding Zombie Killer... Wait, some of those do not sound like real films!? The colon titled films continue, most recently with a supernatural bent. While Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter came from modern literature which followed the literary mash-up 'Pride and Prejudice, and Zombies', writer/director Tommy Wirkola takes a page from network television's 'Grimm' by taking a fresh look at the German born and bred Brothers Grimm and their dark literary works. Most of their tales feature savage acts and dire consequences. What happens, though, after the children kill the witch and escape from the dark forest? In today's age, those kids would have spent years in therapy at a huge expense. In the simpler age of man, Hansel and Gretel take out their psychological scars the old fashioned way... they burn it (witches, that is).
This new twist on the dark fairy tale is very tongue and cheek. From the moment you see glass milk bottles with parchment tied to the side with 'Missing Child' information, you know that this production does not take themselves or the story too seriously. And that works to its advantage. The town of Oxford is a generic hamlet that could have seen a multiple of creatures - from dragons to vampires to, yes, witches - fly through it. Everyone has Americanized accents. And the word "awesome" is bantered about from the younger generation residing in the burg. The weapons, apparent early Galileo designs, are so far advanced for the time period that any historians may find their heads literally exploding. But where Hansel and Gretel fall short on period accuracy, they make up for it with action, explosions, and general ass-kickery!
Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton take on the roles of Hansel and Gretel with relish and fun. Renner reprises his Hawkeye role from the Avengers, trading in a high-tech compound bow for iron boom sticks that Tony Stark would have been proud of. Gemma, the lighter weight of the siblings, still carries herself like a girl who had grown up decapitating and burning witches for a living. Both clad in leather, Hansel and Gretel take on all comers of the spell casting variety. They seem outmatched against hags with flying brooms and magic wands, but their passion for killing evil witches and ingenuity seem to balance the scales.
The witches in the tale are hideous and unique, each resembling the lands in which they roam. Murial is joined by Horned Witch (Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Chernobyl Diaries) as her main accomplice, but as the blood moon draws near, others flock to the mountain stronghold with their own creepy looks and powers. And as we all know, witches hate to do any menial task, so they have troll Edward (Derek Mears, Gangster Squad) to carry out their heavy work. Plenty of unique details are added to each witch to give the audience some great eye candy. Sorry, Candy Witch!
A fun popcorn movie with plenty of gory action from beginning to end, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters may surprise moviegoers. As long as you can join in the fun that the story seems to convey, this new twist on a dark fairy tale may actually spellbind you!

More Choices: SourceForge Adds to its Repertoire
SourceForge, the popular host of countless Open Source projects, is extending its repertoire of source code management systems, among them Git.
SourceForge should be familiar to most Open Source users: for many years the Internet platform has given thousands of software projects a virtual home, including the use of the Subversion and CVS source code management (SCM) systems.
SourceForge is now extending its offerings to free hosting for Git, Bazaar and Mercurial so that users can check their code in and out using these SCM systems.
The availability of diverse version control systems makes complete sense in view of the diverse needs. Linus Torvalds developed Git, for example, because no free alternatives existed at the time to satisfy kernel developers' requirements.
A few projects will probably take their time to switch to SourceForge, but they won't have to learn any new syntax. While MySQL, Launchpad and the Linux Foundation have for some time already used Bazaar for an SCM system, the ALSA, NFTS-3g and OpenJDK projects have used Mercurial.

CORBIN — Times-Tribune Staff Report
Crash injures 5
Five people were sent to the hospital after a crash on I-75 left the interstate blocked for more than four hours Wednesday.
According to Kentucky State Police TFC Don Trosper, a 1995 GMC van driven by Vernon N. Jacobs, 63, of Indianapolis, Ind. was southbound on the interstate when Jacobs drifted in the lane, nearly hitting a tractor-trailer.
He swerved to avoid that collision, lost control, and overturned in the median. The van came to rest in the northbound left lane, where it was struck by a tractor-trailer driven by Harold Fitzwater, 37, of Nancy.
Jacobs and three of his passengers, Rose Jacobs, 41, Linda Jacobs, 51 and Christopher Thompson, 19, all of Indianapolis, were transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, Tenn.. A fourth passenger, Alphonso Jacobs, Sr., 60, of Indianapolis was taken to the Baptist Regional Medical Center in Corbin. All five had non-life-threatening injuries. The driver was the only one in the van wearing a seat belt.
Fitzwater, who was in a seat belt, was not injured. No drug or alcohol use is suspected in the crash.
Kentucky State Trooper TFC Parrish Baker continues to nvestigate the crash and was assisted at the scene by Kentucky State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement and Whitley County Emergency Medical Services.
Two arrested for stealing scrap metal
Laurel County Sheriff's deputies James Sizemore and William Bo Harris investigated a complaint of a burglary in progress on Dorthae Road south of London.
When deputies arrived they found a vehicle filled with scrap metal reported stolen. Sizemore and Harris located Delbert W. Profitt, 53, of Gray and Laura M. Taylor, 27, of Corbin in a mobile home in the area and determined the vehicle found belonged to them. They were both arrested and face charges of theft by unlawful taking. The recovered property was returned to the owner.
Profitt and Taylor were jailed in the Laurel County Correctional Center. Deputy Gilbert Acciardo assisted in the arrests.
Irate woman jailed
A visit from a social worker landed a Corbin woman in jail Wednesday.
Eloise M. Browing, 45, of Corbin was arrested and sent to the Laurel County Correctional Center.
Laurel County Sheriff's Deputy William Bo Harris was dispatched to an apartment off American Greeting Road, prompted by a 911 call from a social worker making a visit there.
The social worker said the client in question was "irate" according to Sheriff John Root.
Harris' presence made little difference in the woman's demeanor, Root said. Browing became irate with Harris, shoving documents in his face, and progressed to making "a loud disturbance" to those near the scene.
According to Root, "..Harris arrested her, and she continued to be loud and disorderly, and resisted being arrested.
"Even as she was being led to the police car, she continued to be disorderly."
Browing faces charges of menacing, first-degree disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
