The core of the ensemble is comprised of accomplished musicians from Chicago's new generation of period style performers and collaborates regularly with vocalists and other instrumentalists to present this exciting music to modern audiences. In addition to performing at universities and other venues all over the Chicagoland area Rook has presented concerts at Oberlin Conservatory's Historical Performance Department Recital, the Madison Early Music Fringe Festival and a series of concerts with early music pioneer David Douglass.
In March 2012, Rook was selected as one of three ensembles to participate in the Carnegie Hall Professional Training Workshop to work with L'Arpeggiata.

Mark led a performance of Charpentier's Les Arts Florissants to great acclaim on a fringe concert at the 2009 Boston Early Music Festival. A rising star of the Chicago early music scene, Mark has performed with Chicago-based ensembles such as The Newberry Consort, Music of the Baroque, the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra, Baroque Band, the B.B.E., and Rook.

As a performer of early bass instruments, he has been featured on concerts for Newberry Consort, Ars Musica, the Dunbar Early Music Festival, and the Chicago Early Music Festival. His contemporary music collaborations have included performances with Chicago new music groups eighth blackbird and dal niente as well as Chicago Opera Vanguard and members of the Pacifica Quartet. His orchestral experience has led him to work with David Zinman, Robert Spano, and Alan Heatherington, and as a member of the ensemble Oberlin 21, he recorded works of Debussy and Takamitsu with harpist Yolanda Kondonassis on the Telarc label. Jeremy is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University. His teachers have included Amir Eldan, Peter Rejto and Hans Jorgen Jensen.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

There was a good reason why the Founding Fathers included freedom of the press in the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights. Without a free press to watch government at all levels, we will not survive as a free country. We will become a people that only know what the government allows us to know.
I believe this breech of trust by the DOJ was to intimidate whistleblowers. Leaks in government have been around since day one. There is no justification for this abuse of the First Amendment. This is an attempt at censorship. Could it be that we will never learn the truth about the Internal Revenue Service scandal because people will be afraid to come forward?
I have many questions on this blatant attack on our right to a free press. My real frustration is that I will never get answers from our government. I urge everyone to call or email their elected officials and demand answers on this important issue. We need to stop this attack on our Bill of Rights before it is too late.

SAP Quiz Bowl 2011 with Derek O' Brien, November 11, Bangalore
Month of Service, October 2011
Spreading smiles, nurturing creativity, delivering joy to all the nooks and crannies of the society – it was all a part of a day's work at SAP Labs India in October, which was celebrated, globally, as the Month of Service by SAP. Initiated in 2004, this year Month of Service, had SAP volunteers from over 40 countries targeting to donate 50,000 hours endeavoring to:

Bandhan – Forever Together: Celebrating completion of 10 and 15 years at SAP Labs India
On March 25, at Leela Palace, Bangalore, 89 people who have been with the organization for ten years, and 3 employees who have dedicated fifteen years to SAP were felicitated and commemorated at Bandhan 2011. Clas Neumann, Senior Vice President and Global Head, Core SAP Labs Network, and V.R. Ferose, MD, SAP Labs India, congratulated, and thanked each of the employees personally who have been the wind beneath SAP's wing for more than a decade.
Ferose and Clas not only acknowledged the employees, but also their families who have supported them throughout their long alliance with this organization. "India's original diva", Usha Uthup also performed on the occasion to celebrate the timeless bond between SAP and its employees.
The nature of this priceless alliance was excellently encapsulated by Sanjay Vasant Bhujle, a member of the SAP family for the last 15 years, who said "I have known nothing beyond SAP. For me SAP is the world." The association is reciprocal, as for SAP its employees are its universe.
Master Blaster Cricket Quiz: Celebrating the spirit of the Cricket World Cup 2011
At the Labs India Bangalore campus, on March 23, a day before India padded up against Australia in the cricket world cup quarter finals 2011, , the renowned quiz master, Joy Bhattacharya, CEO of the Kolkata Knight Riders, tested the cricket knowledge quotient of the Labs India employees in a brainstorming match.

Leadership Talk Series is an ongoing effort at Labs India to give employees a chance to hear and interact with renowned and motivational personalities from all walks of life.
Leadership talk by Prahlad Kakkar, the legendary Indian ad film director, December 12, 2011
Leadership talk by Jug Suraiya, the Associate Editor of Times of India, November 22, 2011
Leadership talk by Retired Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, AC, September 15, 2011
"As leaders and team members of an innovative organization you need to transform your outlook and take it beyond your current boundary," said Retired Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, AC, at the Leadership Talk series 2011, organized at KTPO, Bangalore on the special occasion of the visit of Jim Hagemann Snabe, Co-CEO SAP, to India.
Having chosen an unusual and daring profession, Rakesh Sharma, from the inception of his career challenged the accepted boundaries in all spheres of life. "Dealing with the unknown involves the element of risk," he emphasized. Great leaders are personalities who are neither afraid to tread the incredible roads nor frightened to overthrow the status quo. Such people are the "challengers" of the unknown who can lead a nation and inaugurate new vistas of life.
This unique leadership session concluded with Rakesh Sharma sharing an interesting anecdote behind his historic comment from space. When Indira Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India, asked him, "How does India look from space", the extremely media shy young astronaut could promptly make his famous comment, "Saare jahan se accha" because he could only hear the audio from space. Little did Rakesh Sharma realize at that time that his words and his deeds will make him famous for ages to come.
Leadership talk by Chetan Bhagat, the most popular English language novelist in Indian history, September 14, 2011
"To become a professional writer you have to sell at least 1000 copies of your first book." Hence, a "techie" was advised not to venture into fiction writing, as Indians do not read books. It will not be worth any publisher's money if a book does not achieve the minimum sales needed to recoup costs. However the "techie" ignored all such foreboding for the love of writing and ventured into his first literary endeavor, Five Point Someone, and the rest was history. Reminiscing about many such anecdotes and incidents from his own life, Chetan Bhagat, conducted a memorable session at the Leadership talk series on September 14 at the Taj Palace hotel, Delhi.
Focusing on the topic of the day, "Pursuing Passion", Chetan succeeded in creating an immediate rapport with the audience who thoroughly enjoyed his humorous take on regional differences and deeply reflected on his zealous advice to pursue one's dreams with passion. As the audience appreciated the passionate dialogue with Chetan with thunderous applause, he concluded the session with a request to the employees, "Make life less busy and listen to the motivational speaker that lives inside each one of us."
Leadership talk by Shekhar Kapur, the maverick Indian director, June 16, 2011
"What is the fountainhead of creativity? Is it the universal consciousness being expressed through an individual?" asked Shekhar Kapur during his paean to creativity and innovation at the Leadership Talk Series on June 16 at the indoor cafeteria, Bangalore. The audience, filling the auditorium, and sitting in the aisles and on the stairs, were enthralled as the words and questions floated around them unlocking unexplored vistas and recesses of their minds. They had come to meet the creator of Mr. India, The Bandit queen and Elizabeth, perhaps expecting a lecture on the intricacies of long shots, flashbacks and background score. Instead, they were transformed by a dialogic exploration of spirituality and creativity.
As the audience appreciated innovative dialogue with Shekhar with thunderous applause, he concluded the session with a panegyric to SAP – "I can go on talking only about innovation and creativity at a place like SAP Labs India".
Leadership talk by Lokayukta Justice N. Santosh Hegde, April 12, 2011
"Democracy is no longer 'by the people, of the people, for the people'. It has now become 'by some people, for some people, of some people'." Thus spoke Lokayukta Justice N. Santosh Hegde, the most "feared institution in Karnataka", at the Leadership Talk Series (LTS) held on April 12, 2011 at the Labs Bangalore campus. The appreciative SAP Labs India employees, most of whom had occupied their seats, at the indoor cafeteria, 15 minutes before the start of the LTS at 10:00 a.m., applauded and then grew pensive at the implication of the remark.
Throughout his one hour session, Justice Hegde forced the audience to confront serious and deep issues regarding the structure of governance, and the value system in a humorous manner, often using personal anecdotes. When the session finally concluded, the employees of SAP Labs India were left enthralled by a simple man, whose moral power derives from practicing what he preaches and this makes him a personification of honesty.
Leadership talk by Nasser Hussain, February 28, 2011
The indoor cafeteria of Labs Bangalore campus, at 11:00 p.m. on February 28, was as full with boisterous cheering people as the Chinnaswamy stadium was on the evening of February 27. A tall lean athletic figure, Naseer Hussain, the former English captain, walked up to take his guard, at the Leadership Talk Series (LTS). Hussain, one of the greatest English captains ever, the person who propelled England to the number 3 spot in test rankings, received a standing ovation for his invigorating speech at the Leadership Talk Series, 2011.
Leadership talk by N. R. Narayana Murthy, February 15, 2011
10:00 a.m., February 15, 2011. All the chairs at the indoor cafeteria of Labs Bangalore campus were already occupied and people were still streaming in. They sat on the stairs, on the floor while the "late-comers" stood. This was the scenario at the indoor cafeteria 45 minutes before the start of the third talk of the Leadership Talk Series (LTS) 2011. It was difficult for Narayana Murthy, who arrived punctually at 10:45 a.m., to find his way to the dais through this impenetrable crowd waiting eagerly to listen to him.
A leftist turned philanthropic capitalist, Mr. Murthy loved meeting the "good" people at SAP, and had "great" conversations with them. SAP employees in turn expressed their joy with thunderous applause after the LTS. The session was made unforgettable by the legend behind Infosys.
Leadership Talk by Ramachandra Guha, January 12, 2011
On Wednesday, January 12, the indoor cafeteria, at Labs India, looked like the inside of a rush hour bus. Ramachandra Guha, the pioneer of environmental history in India, delivered a speech on "Gandhi as a leadership model", as the first lecture in the Leadership Talk Series for 2011. If the audience was excited, so was the author of "India after Gandhi" – his rimless glasses glinting, his voice ringing, with excitement he talked about the opposition that Gandhi faced.
Businees Women Network with Hasleen Kaur, Femina Miss India Earth 2011, August 22, 2011
" Do not let the word fame control you", said Hasleen Kaur, Femina Miss India Earth 2011, while addressing the Business Women Network at the SAP Labs Bangalore campus on August 22. The event hosted by V. R. Ferose, MD, SLI, witnessed an overwhelming response from a huge audience who were enthralled by the beauty, brains and empathy of Hasleen who emphasized the need for "reinventing and reworking oneself" in order to break gender stereotypes.
In spite of her success and glamour which she has achieved at the tender age of 22, Hasleen is committed to her responsibility to the society. Since she had always been inspired by Dr. Kiran Bedi, she choose to work with Navjyothi Foundation, a partner NGO of SLI, founded by Dr. Kiran Bedi, when she had to select a domain of social work as a part of the Miss India contest. Under the ambit of Navjyothi, she is promoting and working towards increasing girl child education which is indispensable for the growth of any country.
This BWN session offered SAP Labs India employees the opportunity to interact with a young girl who in spite of tasting success early in life has maintained her humility and integrity.
Businees Women Network with Shobhaa De, the renowned author and columnist June 27, 2011
"I am of the same age as India. So my story is the story of India", thus spoke Shobhaa De, the renowned author and columnist. While addressing the SAP Labs India, Bangalore, employees at the Business Women Network on June 27, Shobhaa emphasized the need to deconstruct the gender stereotypes. Having successfully lead a multi-faceted life as a model, journalist, scriptwriter, bestselling novelist and mother, she said, "I have learnt to live with little things."
Candidly discussing her success story and her inspirations behind her writings, Shobhaa De kept the overflowing audience enthralled by her vivacity and dauntless spirit of womanhood.
Businees Women Network with social activist and philanthropist Rohini Nilekani, May 19, 2011
"As women we need to redeifne success,freedom and use them responsibly", thus spoke Rohini Nilekani, social activist and philanthropist, who despite being the wife of Nandan Nilekani has maintained her independence and carved her own niche in the society. While addressing the SAP Labs India, Bangalore employees at the Business Women Network on May 19, Rohini emphasized the need to deconstruct the gender stereotypes. The chairperson of Arghyam, Pratham Books and Akshara Foundation, Rohini is amongst the country's most active philanthropists and is involved in multifarious initiatives including provision of clean water, sanitation and literacy to the less privileged section of the society.
During this candid interactive session SAP Labs India employees got the opportunity to learn from the adventures of the life of a woman philanthropist who is also an ace juggler of personal and professional life.
SAP Labs India celebrates the uniqueness of being a woman March 11, 2011
In 1886 Kadambini Ganguly and Anandi Gopal Joshi became the first Indian women doctors registered to practice western medicine. Since then women have traversed an extended path and today even I.T. sector companies, long considered a male bastion, boast of active participation of women. This is exemplified by SAP Labs India (SLI) where 31% of all employees are female. To celebrate this mercurial rise of the feminine gender, SAP Labs India, Bangalore, observed the centenary year of International women's day, on March 8, with an eventful two hour program starting at 2:30 p.m. at the indoor cafeteria. The event included a book reading session by the noted journalist and author Sudha Menon, a panel discussion on "Men and women are different but equal", and other cultural programs.
The youngest Vice President of Wipro shares her stories at the BWN
"I don't want a working woman. I want a career woman" Sangita Singh's husband had warned her three days after their marriage. Sangita, the youngest senior Vice President of Wipro, did not disappoint her husband and that was the reason she was requested by SAP Labs India to host the first session of the Business Women Network (BWN) 2011. Held at the indoor cafeteria at 3:00 p.m. on February 16, the audience for the event was a fair mix of both men and women.

Most people whine about Hole #8, but to me it is the signature hole for this course. The basket sits at the top of a hill right next to an OB parking lot, and has a creek at the bottom of the hill (which is either casual or OB - depending on the TD at the time).

Great course! Well built and great for starters or pros! :D
+0 votes John D. › March 10, 2014
The course is getting better in respect to stumps removed in woods and drain pipes added in woods to make the holes more playable. Hole 12 is perhaps the most difficult hole for a RHBH. 12 is a long hole and is buried deep into the woods. It would be nice if the bleachers were moved from in front of 16's tee box. Overall a nice course. Wide open for the most part and very playable.

A season plagued with numerous cancellations and postponements due to poor weather continued to wreak havoc with the Horizon League Thursday.
The 11:00am Valpo-UIC tilt was the only one to be played in Thursday's first day of a full slate of games. Scattered thunderstorms forced the 3:00pm and 7:00pm games to be moved to Friday.
Instead of playing at 3:00pm Friday, Valpo will now face the winner of #4 Wright State/#1 Milwaukee on Saturday at 11:00am ET.
If the Crusaders win, they advance to the Horizon League Championship Game at 11:00am ET on Sunday. If they lose, they'll get right back on the field at 3:00pm Saturday.

Napa >Lodging > Silverado Resort And Spa
1600 Atlas Peak Road, Napa, CA | Directions 9455838.347738 -122.267123
Daily 24 Hours
Unprofessional Resort – Planned a trip to this resort as a weekend getaway for my partner who suffered a nervous breakdown only to have the resort mis-handle our reservations through expedia and try to move us out of our room a day early saying we only booked one night. Not the case at all. Yes things happen and the resort finally saw it was their error and gladly offered to upgrade us to a suite. (We could not stay in the same room and were rushed out due to the room now being over booked)
But the damage was done. My partner had an anxiety attack and just wanted to leave. So much for the relaxation and I was extremely furious with the resort for making a situation worse.
They offered to credit us back since we wanted to leave and apologized for the trouble and would take care of the issue...but lo and behold our american express statement came and we were still charged.
Called the resort back and well bad bad bad attitude over the phone regarding the matter but then seeing it was their fault (again) said they needed to still call expedia to handle the charge. They called and yep their fault again.
Don't get me wrong this is a beautiful resort and the staff (beyond front desk and managers) were great but I should not have to worry about getting booted out of our room while I'm trying to attend to a sick love one.
May I add we drove in from LA with a rental car only to have to drive back .
Silverado Resort needs to tighten up their ship. WORSE hotel stay ever!
Already alerted our own clients to avoid this resort and not book any future events or lodging due to the unprofessional-ism.
Beautiful place, nice spa treatments ,and great -but expensive food – The accomadations are just ok. The course and the mansion are beautiful. The spa service that I received was average. I would reccomend a massage over a body wrap. I was a tad cold in the room, however the people were friendly. The food at the mansion was great however a tad pricey. The greens were kept up and the again the service at the course was excellent. Makes for a great day overall.
find a cheap rate, and don't plan to spend much time in your room – Stayed at the Silverado after I found a great rate for Sunday-Thursday nights which included a few complimentary tastings at local wineries and discount coupons for other businesses in the area. The rate ended up being for their smallest accommodations, which was a locked in room off of a 2 bedroom suite. Needless to say, this was a SMALL room. Because we literally only slept in the room, and were out and about for the rest of our time in Napa, this was not a huge issue, however if we were staying there longer I'm not sure this room would have been tolerable. I certainly wouldn't have paid the very high weekend rate. Our room was located quite a ways from the mansion, but we were offered free shuttle service back and forth. The grounds and golfing and country club looked very nice, but again we didn't spend much time at the hotel.
Extremely disappointed and will never recommend or go back!! – My apartment in college was nicer than the rooms they offer. Unless you want to kick down for a suite (if they are even available) ? you are welcome to stay in a hole in the wall room complete with stucco walls and plastic patio chairs. Also plan on walking at least 15-20 minutes to any of the restaurants by the mansion, as well as enjoy a murky pool with no spa. Might also want to bring ear plugs unless you want to hear every bit of your neighbor?s conversations.
We were treated like children here. We planned on eating late (after reading in the book in our room that restaurants were open until 9.30 ? bar served food until 10 pm), so walked to the main grounds to eat at the grill ? right behind and older couple at 9:25 pm. We were told by the hostess we were basically out of luck, as we watched the couple in front of us be promptly seated. After leaving very disappointed in hopes the concierge could recommend something else, we walked over there only to find the concierge desk empty. The young clerks at the front desk said ?room service is open until 10? and by the time we took the long walk back to our room it was too late to order. They did not offer a shuttle back to our room or any restaurant alternatives in the area. Starving, we drove to the Truncas Steakhouse and walked in right after 10 pm. Even though they closed at 10 they were happy to seat us.
I would never recommend the Silverado to anyone. There is a Renaissance Inn down the road with a beautiful courtyard and good restaurant, which I will be enjoying next time I am in Napa.
Not a typical hotel – The resort is comprised of individually owned homes rented out to customers and managed by the resort, called "suites". We stayed in one of these homes, a half hour walk to the conference center. It was a 3 BR house with full kitchen, living & dining room with fireplace, a deck on 2 sides of the house and a porch outside the front door. Upper cabinets in the kitchen & bathroom and 2 extra bedrooms were locked & inaccessible. Your backyard is the golf course & a golfer roamed outside looking for his ball. I was disappointed there was no jacuzzi & only a shower in the bathroom. The conference facilities and dining rooms were nice. Our meeting reception was actually held on a deck which was tented over to keep the heat in. They have a free shuttle service to take you back if you chose not to drive.
Silverado-NO! – The grounds and the mansion were very beautiful, the spa was wonderful, but we were very disappointed in the rooms. We were in the "cottages" and they looked like an apartment/ Florida timeshare that had not been remodeled in quite a few years. There was a fireplace with a Duraflame log. When we return to Napa, we will probably choose somewhere with a little more ambiance and character.
Set amidst the beauty of wine country, Silverado's challenging terrain requires golfers with a well-aged style of play. – The Course
The Silverado Country Club is home to two golf courses: the North Course and the South Course. Both courses have wide, long fairways lined by waterways and oak trees. The long North Course is challenging with lots of bunkers and curves. The 11th hole is particularly tricky due to a water hazard located in the middle of it. The shorter South Course is equally difficult, requiring accurate shots to avoid its various water hazards.
The Setting
Situated in the heart of the rustic wine country, Silverado is blanketed by stately oaks, and scenic waterways line the fairways. The many lush vineyards and rolling hills of the valley lie just beyond the finely manicured grounds.
North Course Vital Statistics:
Holes: 18
Par: 72
Total Yardage: 6,900
Putting green: One putting green shared between both courses
Driving range: One driving range shared between all three courses
Cart rentals: included
Lessons: Yes, $78 per hour
South Course Vital Statistics:
Holes: 18
Par: 72
Total Yardage: 6,685
Putting green: One putting green shared between both courses
Driving range: One driving range shared between all three courses
Cart rentals: included
Lessons: Yes, $78 per hour
Nice Enough, But... – Though the service was extremely attentive and the grounds were beautiful (with numerous swimming pools and tennis courts), I found the rooms somewhat ordinary for the price.

Longtime Jellico High basketball fans can scarcely recall the last time their boy's team won a district regular season title.
The school's first and only tournament championship team was easy enough to remember. The 1991-92 Blue Devils captured a District 2-A crown and fell one game short of reaching the state tournament.
But, until Friday night, when Jellico rallied for a 67-61 victory over Cosby, the Blue Devils hadn't won a regular season championship since 1951.
A 33-point victory over district rival Karns High School helped the Campbell County girls forget —at least momentarily — about last week's league disaster.
The Lady Cougars lost games to Knoxville teams Halls (Wed.) and West (Fri.) before rebounding with a 69-36 rout of the Lady Beavers on Tuesday night.
Campbell County (7-8 district, 12-12 overall) has a chance to move up the tournament seeding ladder, provided it takes care of business tonight (Thurs.) at Knoxville Central in the district regular season finale.
Campbell County's boys let a big game slip through their fingers Tuesday night.
Playing at home for likely the final time this season, the Cougars had a six-point lead over District 3-AAA rival Karns High School going to the fourth quarter but couldn't hold onto it.
The Beavers escaped the Cougar Den with an 86-79 victory in a game that took two overtimes to complete.
Colin Crane scored 22 of his game-high 34 points in the second half and overtime periods for Karns. Zach Norman led the Cougars with 27 points, eight of which he scored in overtime.
Ethan Simpson and Ethan Miller turned in spectacular performances Friday night during their final basketball game for Jacksboro Middle School.
Simpson poured in 20 points and Miller had 15 in a 64-53 sub-sectional loss to Union Grove, formerly known as William Blount Middle.
The loss eliminated the third-seeded Eagles (13-9 overall) from the tournament.
Eagles' guard Jordan Kindred was injured during the game and finished with six points.
Some very small people may become the victims of a large budget cut.
With the State of Tennessee reporting an unprecedented budget shortfall, preschoolers across the state may soon fall victim to cuts in funding.
According to Dr. Karen Bundren, federal programs director for the school system, there is a very real possibility legislators will decide to trim the budget by reducing funding in preschool programs.
LaFollette Police officers didn't have to go far to find the victim of a shooting Monday evening.
According to an offense report, Anthony Meade Bowman, 21, entered the lobby of the police department just before 8 p.m. with "what appeared to be a gunshot wound from a small caliber weapon."
Bowman told Officer Josh Vann the suspects were in a newer model burgundy Honda Accord, but stated he was unable to identify them.
From appearing in a bright pink jail jumpsuit to vomiting in the floor, things just didn't go well for Travis Gaylor on Monday.
Gaylor was in court for a hearing on a series of motions filed by his attorney Steve Sams. Gaylor is the second of three defendants to appear in court for the 2006 death of Jonathan Pierce.
His trial is scheduled for later this month.
Among the many motions filed by Sams was one asking for a change of venue in the first-degree murder case.
Murder suspect Travis Gaylor recently discovered first hand that while polygraph tests are not admissible in court, police still use them
As police investigated the 2006 death of Jonathan Pierce, Gaylor underwent a polygraph.
In the course of the investigation, Gaylor was interviewed multiple times in late 2006. During one of those interrogations Gaylor underwent a polygraph examination according to information revealed in a hearing Monday.
With two additions to the agenda, the LaFollette Council meeting was quickly underway on Tuesday night. Councilmen Hansford Hatmaker and Wayne Kitts both added items to the agenda at the start of the meeting, but did not state the nature of the items.
As the council addressed new business, Mayor Mike Stanfield motioned to Hatmaker, saying, "Don't you have something about part-time help?"
Stanfield was referring to the item Hatmaker added to the agenda

Drug overdose death - even in jail
The Columbus Dispatch - March 13, 2012 11:03 AM
Ohio's epic struggle with prescription drug overdoses and deaths doesn't respect boundaries - or jailhouse bars.
The Lorain Morning Journal reports today that an inmate in the Huron County Jail, Jesika Skelton, 20, died from an overdose of prescription drugs. Another inmate, Mindy Gallagher, 22, faces possible charges for allegedly smuggling drugs into the jail. In addition to trafficking in drugs and bringing drugs into the jail, Gallagher could face an involuntary manslaughter charge related to Skelton's death.
Skelton, Gallagher and a third inmate were taken to the hospital Sunday after taking drugs smuggled into the jail. An official said the drugs were opiates and Xanax, an anti-anxiety medication.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Steve Mistler email@example.com
Staff Writer
The LePage administration released data Tuesday that it says shows Mainers on welfare used Electronic Benefit Transfer cards to make thousands of purchases at bars, smoke shops and liquor stores.
At top, a Portland man uses a food stamp card to buy groceries in 2008. Above, Scott Parker, owner of the Griffin Club in South Portland, pours a beer Tuesday. His club was one of many establishments where misuse of EBT cards may have occurred, according to transaction data released by the LePage administration. Parker said his business accepts cash only, but has an ATM inside where an EBT card can be used. He said people shouldn't buy alcohol and cigarettes with their welfare cards, but there's no way for him to track when it's happening at his club.

But it's unclear whether any of the transactions were illegal, because the state said it doesn't know what was purchased and because many of the businesses have ATMs that card holders can use to make cash withdrawals.
Gov. Paul LePage's focus on the issue reflects a national controversy over the use of EBT cards, which has led to crackdowns in some states.
LePage, who has targeted welfare fraud and made it an issue in his re-election campaign, said the purchases were a misuse of the EBT cards issued through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
The data shows that from Jan. 1, 2011, to Nov. 15, 2013, more than 3,000 transactions were made at more than 20 smoke shops, which primarily sell tobacco products. Another 650 transactions occurred at bars, pubs or strip clubs, the data shows.
The administration said the benefit cards were used in all 50 states, including at a liquor store in New Hampshire that had transactions totaling close to $8,000.
Although the data suggests fraud or inappropriate use of benefits, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, which administers the program, said the state doesn't know what was purchased with the EBT cards.
Many of the businesses described as smoke shops also function as convenience stores, selling food and other products. Also, many of the businesses have ATMs, so an EBT transaction recorded at a smoke shop or bar may actually be a cash withdrawal from an EBT account.
The DHHS says about 50,000 EBT transactions are made each month. At that rate, there were about 1.725 million transactions made from January 2011 to Nov. 15, 2013, the period when the administration found 3,701 transactions that it says were inappropriate. That means the inappropriate transactions accounted for about two-tenths of 1 percent of all EBT use during that period. There are about 224,000 active EBT cards in Maine, the DHHS says.
LePage's media release did not include the dollar value of the transactions in question, so it's not clear how much of the budget for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program they represent. The DHHS allocated $192.5 million to the program and its associated work program, ASPIRE, in 2012.
The governor said in a written statement that the data is "eye-opening" and shows that misuse of EBT cards is a larger problem than initially thought.
"These benefits are supposed to help families, children and our most vulnerable Mainers," LePage said. "Instead, we have discovered welfare benefits are paying for alcohol, cigarettes and other things hardworking taxpayers should not be footing the bill for."SPOTTY CONTROL OF BENEFIT USE
In 2012, the governor signed a law that prohibited the use of EBT cards at gambling facilities, strip clubs, and retail establishments where 50 percent or more of the revenue is derived from liquor sales.
The data released by the administration Tuesday suggests that enforcement of that law is not proceeding as intended. It also raises questions about how the state can effectively control the way benefits are spent if the aid program allows recipients to use EBT cards to get cash.
The administration said it is continuing to coordinate efforts by the DHHS, the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverage and Lottery Operations and the Department of Public Safety to identify stores and establishments where EBT transactions are prohibited under the 2012 law.
LePage announced recently that he plans to submit a bill to further restrict where EBT cards can be used. Democratic leaders in the Legislature have expressed a willingness to support the measure.
