American Printer's mission is to be the most reliable and authoritative source of information on integrating tomorrow's technology with today's management.
Mar 1, 2007 12:00 AM
Digital presses—computer-controlled, plateless devices
using electrostatic toner to image "virtual" printing
forms—began to appear in the early 1990s. By then,
conventional offset lithography was almost a century old, and some
said the emergence of the new process was a sign that
offset's antiquity was catching up with it. But digital had
its detractors, too, and it seemed at first that nobody who favored
one could ever be a friend of the other.
Time, however, has a way of erasing all assumptions about printing except one: Progressive printers will embrace any technology (or combination of technologies) that genuinely enables them to do more for their customers. Today it's clear that the technical differences between the two processes, while real enough, are just footnotes to the capabilities they share in helping printers drive volume and make money.
Six success stories
Six printing businesses let AMERICAN PRINTER in on their experiences as successful integrators of digital output systems into what had been (with one exception) primarily offset lithographic environments. Conversations with the owners and senior managers of these businesses left many misconceptions about the "digital divide" in tatters. We learned:
'No' not spoken here
We began by asking the obvious: Why had they decided to install digital presses in the first place?
Jerry and Doug Crawford, the father-and-son management team at
Crawford Printing Co. of Burbank, CA, added HP Indigo 3050 and
S2000 digital presses three years ago. "We were looking for a
way not to tell our customers, 'No,'" says Jerry
Crawford, who says the company wasn't equipped to meet demand
for birth announcements, real estate books, stock prospectuses and
other short-run work.
At Graphix Products Inc. in West Chicago, IL, Jason Tews runs a commercial lithography business that installed a pair of Canon CLC 5000 production color copiers about five years ago. He says the decision to "make the jump" was brought on by a desire to stop relying on trade shops to fill orders for digital printing.
In Maitland, FL, David Abbott realized that without a digital press, Abbott Printing Co. was missing out on a good deal of small-quantity color work—and on the opportunity to be the one-stop source of printing services his customers wanted the firm to be. He is now in his third month as the owner of a Kodak NexPress 2500 digital production color press with a fifth imaging unit and a glossing station.
"It started with speed," says Timothy Keran of Western Graphics Inc.'s decision to begin investing in what has become a septet of Xerox digital presses. "We've always been a speed shop. The shingle we've always hung out is quick turns." Behind the shingle at the St. Paul, MN, plant is a collection of seven high-end monochrome and color platforms acquired over the last 12 years, including two production color presses, both iGen3s. "We have more digital equipment than offset presses now," Keran says.
[The need for speed
In 1998, Erik Von Colln bought a DI press to help Midtown Printing increase its four-color productivity. But then, he says, the Nashville, TN, shop began getting a daily rush of "little bitty short runs" that soon overwhelmed the DI machine. That led to the purchase of an Indigo TurboStream in 2001, a Xeikon 5000 a year and a half ago, and, somewhat unexpectedly, a 20 x 29-inch Komori Spica litho press at Graph Expo last year.
Commercial Communications Inc. (CCI) of Hartland, WI, is alone among the six firms in having made toner printing the horse and offset lithography the cart. The company opened its doors as a document producer in 1982 with a Xerox 9500 laser printer and did not begin to add offset capability until a year later.
Today, Brent Hegwood, son of founders Barb and Bob Hegwood, presides over an array of about two dozen Xerox and Océ platforms, including what he says is the country's only dual installation of Océ's very high speed VarioPrint 6250. He says that CCI's web and sheetfed litho services are bundled with digital printing in "value packages" that can help customers lower the cost of producing and managing their documents.
Printers like these can be expected to have seen all that there is to see when it comes to the technical surprises that a new process can bring. And, sure enough, they all say that they have learned their share of lessons about the quirks and quiddities of digital printing.
Goodbye to grippers
Some are related to output quality. Tews notes, for example, that after backing up a digital job and cutting it, the front-to-back registration can be "a hair off" because there's no gripper bar to guide the sheet as there is in an offset press. He also points out, as do others, that toner-based color might not be consistent from run to run, and that letterhead printed digitally can't be reimaged in a laser printer without bubbling or smearing the toner.
Keran corrects those who think there are no makereadies in
digital printing with an observation about the paper-switching
routine in his iGen3s. This digital press can print sheets as large
as 14 x 20 inches. But, changing to and from that sheet size
requires a procedure that can take 20 minutes, according to
Keran—comparable to the makeready on a late-model
conventional press. That time has to be factored into scheduling
just as press makeready would be in offset production.
Von Colln cites a surprise of another kind: The consumables for digital presses include not just toner and paper but hefty quantities of frequently replaced items such as doctor blades, wiper rollers, polishing cloths, imaging drums and, in the case of the Indigo, blankets.
All of the printers have logged more than enough clicks to recognize both the limitations and the advantages of digital printing vs. offset.
Most agree, for example, that if exact PMS matching is a must, the job belongs on an offset press. But, according to RIT's Frank Romano, some digital printers do a better job on Pantone colors with toner than some ink-based systems, and some CMYK builds in a toner can only approximate the spot-color accuracy that some customers insist upon. It is important to print sheets of Pantone colors, so customers can see what will be printed. Some suppliers provide printed copies or files so that users can produce their own. Toners based on older technology were prone to cracking when folded on certain papers, so customers were encouraged to design for the digital press in ways that minimize the problem—for instance, by arranging to print the sheet with the grain. Of course, Romano reminds us that printing with the grain is important with offset litho as well.
On the other hand, paper-related limitations that were seen as significant disadvantages in digital printing's early days—small sheet sizes and restricted selection—now seem not to matter nearly as much.
Jerry Crawford says that sheet size is rarely an issue: "Let's face it, it's an 8.5 x 11-inch world." This means running two-up on a digital press instead of four-up on an offset press won't impact productivity, because the overall turnaround of short-run digital output is so quick. Crawford also says, "[The digital department] has learned how to treat stock to be able to run almost anything our customers require. We just don't say 'No' to requests for exotic stocks."
Shades of meaning
What about color? "A little more saturated" is the consensus about how digital color looks when shown side-by-side with offset. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because "more saturated" to a printer can mean "more vibrant" to a print buyer. With digital printing, there's no ink, hence no dot gain—another plus for toner output.
Our printers seem to agree that the vendors probably have pushed the appearance of digital color as far as it needs to go. Hegwood thinks, "[Its] general acceptance in the marketplace has improved, possibly due to the widespread adoption of desktop color printing devices, which have accustomed people to the quality and look of digital color."
There's no eye-of-the-beholder ambiguity about what the printers see as the single biggest edge digital printing has on offset: digital's ability to turn work around so quickly, it's almost scary.
While the Crawfords were giving a midafternoon interview for this story, their plant was receiving, via the Internet, a file for a 12-page, self-cover booklet that had to be—and would be—ready as a 250-copy run by 5 p.m. that day. A deadline of this kind wouldn't faze Abbott, who says that with a platform like the NexPress 2500, "You can load a file, print a proof, run the job and cut it in an hour." Thanks to digital, agrees Von Colln, "We can go from printing to a trimmed sheet in minutes."
Keran points out that if the input file has been prepared correctly, it's possible to get a salable sheet on the very first impression. He says that this lets him take chances with what would be unthinkably tight turnarounds on anything but a digital press: for example, starting printing at 7 a.m. for a job that has to be delivered by 11 a.m. That's because good-from-the-first-click digital printing delivers a clean, dry sheet that "can go right to the folder" without any of the delay that sometimes stalls wet offset sheets on their path from the pressroom to the bindery.
Here's my money—where's my job?
The market appeal of swift turnarounds is so strong that, in many cases, speed can trump price as the key consideration in the buyer's mind. "Customers will pay more to get it sooner," says Abbott, who recently informed one customer that printing 3,700 copies of an 8.5 x 11-inch flyer would cost $500 more on the NexPress 2500 than it would one of the plant's Heidelbergs. The customer opted for the higher price because printing the job on the NexPress would mean getting the work done overnight.
Nevertheless, the higher unit cost of digital
output—higher because the cost per print does not diminish with volume the way the cost of offset impressions does—sometimes can be an obstacle. Keran says, "We'd run more on the iGens if it weren't for the cost. It keeps work on the presses." This not an issue in very short runs, where the static unit cost of digital printing is less than that of offset. But Keran notes that because digital's cost per piece "flatlines" (stops being less than offset) somewhere north of 1,000 copies, it's logical to place runs of that size on conventional equipment. But this is not where volumes above the assumed crossover point invariably go. Printers can overcome resistance to the higher unit cost of digital output by helping customers to see its economic advantages—inherent ROI factors that validate the premium price.
The Crawfords like to remind their customers that there's "a cash flow justification" in ordering and paying only for what they need, when they need it, with digital print on demand. They also point out that digital printing opens the door to "virtual collateral management"—electronic updating on demand, eliminating the need to commit the entire run to just one version.
That digital safety net saved the day—and a lot of money—for the Crawford customer who asked for 500 digitally printed advance copies of a booklet out of a planned run of 8,000. At a trade show, the customer discovered that 12 of the pages needed to be changed. Had all 8,000 been printed ahead of time on conventional equipment, the customer would have had to discard them all.
In any case, it would be a mistake to think volume-based discounts aren't available with digital printing. Hegwood says that even with a static cost per piece, it's still possible to calculate discounts based on total spend for customers who buy in small batches that add up to millions of pages.

Theo grew up and received his Sacraments at Our Lady of the Ridge, which he still considers his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Wayne Svida. He attended high school at Brother Rice.
The best advice he received while discerning was from a priest, who told him to relax and be patient with himself and with God; let go and let God. As a seminarian, Theo would advise anyone who is discerning to keep praying, realize that all things work for good for those who love God, and place your trust in Him. Also, find good, holy people you can confide in and talk to about the possibility of becoming a priest.

Nigeria, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iraq, Kenya, Tanzania, the Central African Republic. There is a long list of areas where Christians still today are enduring persecution, discrimination, privation of religious liberty and martyrdom. It was no accident that, during the Holy Mass he celebrated on 6 April at Santa Marta, Pope Francis recalled that "today, in the 21st century, our Church is a Church of martyrs". It is within this context that the Community of Sant'Egidio gathers each year in prayer during Holy Week, in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, to remember the new Christian martyrs. Today, Tuesday 15 April, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State, led the community in prayer for these men and women who were ready to offer their lives for the Gospel. Also present at the gathering were representatives from the various Churches and Christian communities that have been marked by the blood of martyrs.
Commenting on the passage from the Gospel of Mark proclaimed in the liturgy of the Word, Cardinal Parolin pointed to the union of the loving witness borne by Christians who do not flee derision and the prospect of death for their fidelity to God, and Christ himself who out of love for the Father endured derision from those who passed beneath the Cross."Today's prayer keeps their memory alive, because their legacy is alive. This legacy flows from lives that were often humble and frail, but that were steeped in love".
Still today "in various contexts many of our brothers and sisters remain the object of anti-Christian hatred. They are not being persecuted not because they are vying for worldly, political, economic or military power, but precisely because they are tenacious witnesses of another vision of life, one of abasement, service, freedom, which is based on faith". In their weakness, the Secretary of State said, "they are close to us, they show us that strength comes from God and that it is always possible to go forth and reach out to those who are far off, even those who see you as an enemy". The Cardinal then emphasized the point by quoting the profound certainty expressed by Pope Francis in the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium: "The disciple is ready to put his or her whole life on the line, even to accepting martyrdom, in bearing witness to Jesus Christ, yet the goal is not to make enemies but to see God's word accepted and its capacity for liberation and renewal revealed".
2014-04-14 Vatican Radio
Pope Francis on Monday met with members of the Pontifical Leonine College of Anagni, a regional seminary for several of the Diocese around the city of Rome. The College was founded by Pope Leo XIII in 1897.
In his address, Pope Francis spoke about the importance of forming seminarians in "a climate of prayer and fraternity." This atmosphere, he said, allows seminarians to grow closer to "the sentiments of Jesus Christ, His love for the Father and for the Church," and His dedication to the people of God.
The Pope warned the seminarians that they are not preparing to be functionaries, but true shepherds in the image of Jesus the Good Shepherd. Being a "good shepherd" in His image is something no one can achieve on his own – but Pope Francis reminded the seminarians that "it is not our work… It is the work of the Holy Spirit." Only by allowing oneself to be shaped – as clay is shaped by the potter — will seminarians be able "to shepherd the people of God and guide them "along the Way that is Jesus."
This, the Holy Father said, "means meditating every day on the Gospel… experiencing the mercy of God in the Sacrament of Reconciliation… eating the Eucharist with faith and with love… being men of prayer." "If you are not disposed to follow along this street," the Pope said, "it would be better for you to have the courage to seek another path."
Pope Francis concluded his address by calling on the seminarians to take seriously the words of the Prophets: "Woe to the wicked Shepherds who pasture themselves and not their flocks." "May this 'woe,'" he said, make you reflect seriously on your future."
Listen to Christopher Wells' report:
Israel grew up and received his Sacraments at his home parish in Mexico. He now considers St. Joseph in Round Lake his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Timothy O'Malley.
The best advice he received while discerning was from a priest, who told him to not be afraid of saying yes to his vocation. As a seminarian, Israel would give that same advice to anyone who is discerning.
Stephen grew up and received his Sacraments at St. Leonard, which he still considers his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Roger Corrales-Diaz. He attended high school at Nazareth Academy.
The best advice he received while discerning was, "Don't be anxious about discerning. Just continue to allow God to bring you into a deeper relationship with Him." As a seminarian, Stephen would give that same advice to anyone who is discerning.
"How hard it is, in our time, to make the ultimate decisions. The temporary seduces us. We are victims of a trend that pushes us to the temporary. We should not be afraid of commitments that involve and affect the whole life! In this way, our lives will be fruitful!"
Pope Francis
May 4, 2013
Michael grew up and received his Sacraments at St. Vincent de Paul in Detroit, MI. He now considers St. Benedict (Irving Park) his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Jason Malave.
The best advice he received while discerning was "Don't be afraid. Just give the priesthood a chance." As a seminarian, Michael would advise anyone who is discerning to be open to the spirit and trust that God will give you the strength to answer His call.
Timothy grew up and received his Sacraments at Santa Maria del Popolo, which he still considers his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. David Arcila. Timothy attended high school at Carmel Catholic High School in Mundelein.
The best advice he received while discerning was "Timothy! Don't be afraid! No matter what has happened in your past, no matter what you are struggling with now, Our Lord Jesus Christ loves you FIERCELY! Ask HIM to love you in those moments when you failed Him and He will give you PEACE and JOY." As a seminarian, Timothy would tell anyone who is discerning: "I asked a priest once, 'What is your favorite part about priesthood?' He said WITHOUT HESITATION, 'Tim, to confect the Eucharist, to absolve sins, to live a radical life for Christ is the JOY in the heart of every priest.' You must immerse yourself in the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist! JPII said that the Eucharist is the source of all vocations, and in Him, in the Eucharist, you will discover what has been written on your heart."
Julio grew up and received his Sacraments at the Cathedral of St. Rosendo, Pinar del Rio, Cuba. He now considers St. Alphonsus Liguori his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Michael O'Connell.
The best advice he received while discerning was, "Trust the Lord at all times." As a seminarian, Julio would advise anyone who is discerning to take your time to think and pray about it, but don't postpone it.
2014-03-26 L'Osservatore Romano
One enters the priesthood only through the Lord's initiative. "He calls each of those whom he wills to become priests". The Sacrament of Holy Orders was the focus of Pope Francis' catechesis at the General Audience on Wednesday morning, 26 March, in St Peter's Square. The following is a translation of the Pope's address to the faithful, which was delivered in Italian.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We have already had occasion to point out that the three Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist together constitute the mystery of "Christian initiation", a single great event of grace that regenerates us in Christ. This is the fundamental vocation which unites everyone in the Church as disciples of the Lord Jesus. There are then two Sacraments which correspond to two specific vocations: Holy Orders and Matrimony. They constitute two great paths by which the Christian can make his life a gift of love, after the example and in the name of Christ, and thus cooperate in the building up of the Church.
Holy Orders, in its three grades of bishop, priest and deacon, is the Sacrament that enables a man to exercise the ministry which the Lord Jesus entrusted to the Apostles, to shepherd his flock, in the power of his Spirit and according to his Heart. Tending Jesus' flock not by the power of human strength or by one's own power, but by the Spirit's and according to his Heart, the Heart of Jesus which is a heart of love. The priest, the bishop, the deacon must shepherd the Lord's flock with love. It is useless if it is not done with love. And in this sense, the ministers who are chosen and consecrated for this service extend Jesus' presence in time, if they do so by the power of the Holy Spirit, in God's name and with love.
1. A first aspect. Those who are ordained are placed at the head of the community. They are"at the head", yes, but for Jesus this means placing ones authority at the service [of the community], as Jesus himself showed and taught his disciples with these words: "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave; even as the Son of man came not to be served by to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many"(Mt 20:25-28/Mk 10:42-45). A bishop who is not at the service of the community fails to perform his duty; a priest who is not at the service of his community fails to perform his duty, he errs.
Radley grew up and received his Sacraments at Nativity of Our Savior in Portage, IN. He now considers St. Clement in Lincoln Park his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Ken Simpson.
The best advice he received while discerning was, "Keep your eyes on Jesus." As a seminarian, Radley would advise anyone who is discerning to pray about it, talk about it, and get involved!

Adam grew up and received his Sacraments at St. George Parish in Georgia. He now considers St. Christopher his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Kris Paluch.
The best advice he received while discerning was, "Keep your mouth shut and your ears open." As a seminarian, Adam would advise anyone who is discerning to trust in God. Learn to let go of your doubt and trust that you will always be happier doing that which God has asked you to do instead of the things you would want to do.
Jose grew up and received his Sacraments at Santiago Apostol. He now considers St. Anthony of Padua his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Sergio Solis.
The best advice he received while discerning was, "Put yourself in God's hands." As a seminarian, Jose would advise anyone who is discerning just to give it a try.
Nicholas grew up and received his Sacraments at St. Philip the Apostle in Northfield. He now considers St. Peter in Volo his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Jim Isaacson. Nicholas attended high school at Loyola Academy.
The best advice he received while discerning was that one of the best places for discernment is in a regular commitment to an hour of Eucharistic Adoration. As a seminarian, Nicholas would advise anyone who is discerning that a vocation is a beautiful gift, so do not let it go
Ryan grew up and received his Sacraments at St. Linus, which he still considers his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Mark Walter.
The best advice he received while discerning was to go to Mass daily. As a seminarian, Ryan would advise anyone who is discerning not to be afraid to visit the seminary and meet some seminarians. You might be surprised that it can be a great fit.

Pope Francis on Monday asked the faithful to pray for vocations, so that God may send priests and nuns whose hearts are for Him only; free from the idolatry of vanity, of power and of wealth.
Speaking during morning Mass at Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis took his cue from the Gospel reading of day which tells of a rich man who ran up to Jesus, knelt down before him, and asked him what he should do to inherit eternal life. This man – the Pope said – really wanted to hear what Jesus had to say. "He was a good man, a man who had observed the commandments from his youth, but this was not enough for him, he wanted more. The Holy Spirit was pushing him further". Jesus looked at him, loved him and said to him: 'Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor; then come, follow me'. At that statement, his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions:
"His heart was restless, because the Holy Spirit was pushing him to get closer to Jesus and to follow him. But his heart was full and he lacked the courage to empty it. He made his choice: money. His heart was full of money…. But he was not a thief, or a criminal: no, no, no! He was a good man: he had never stolen! He had never cheated anyone: his money had been earned honestly. But his heart was imprisoned, it was attached to money and he lacked the freedom to choose. Money chose for him".
Christian grew up and received his Sacraments at St. Therese Chinese Catholic Mission, which he still considers his home parish. His current pastor is Fr. Francis Li.
The best advice he received while discerning was to always allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, and be aware of the times you experience peace, joy, and happiness – because these positive emotions often indicate that you're getting closer to what God is calling you to do. As a seminarian, Christian would advise anyone who is discerning to continue to pray, to seek spiritual direction, and to trust in the Lord. The love of Christ will always urge us on!

Jack Clark hires attorney, stands by "PED" accusations
The former Cardinal who is in hot water for his comments linking Albert Pujols to performance enhancing drugs has hired a noted St. Louis attorney.
Jack Clark has retained Chet Pleban to represent him in any litigation started by Pujols.
Clark issued a statement Tuesday saying, "I stand by my previous remarks regarding Pujols and will rigorously defend any lawsuit that he chooses to file. Litigation is an intense fact finding process and I welcome the opportunity for a jury of 12 unbiased people to judge the credibility of my comments."
Clark was fired from his radio job after saying on air that he knew for a fact that Pujols had used PEDs.
Ellisville City Council meeting packed as issue of mayor's impeachment continues
It was another raucous night in Ellisville Wednesday as supporters of the impeached mayor, Adam Paul, tried to get him reinstated.
But the city council didn't get to vote on the issue because City Manager, Kevin Bookout, pulled the item from the agenda saying he wanted to get a legal opinion on it first.
Newly elected council member Mick Cahill told Fox 2 news that Paul's supporters plan to put the reinstatement question back on the council agenda. "We'll have to do it in a different way, putting it in as an amendment. And then once we do that, we'll be able to take that and hopefully be able to vote on it," he said.
City residents expressed outrage at a packed council meeting last night. One recurring issue: the amount the impeachment battle is costing taxpayers, including an eight-thousand dollar bill for emergency PR services to handle the impeachment fallout.
Paul's attorney, Chet Pleban, told the council that the impeachment costs are going to continue to climb, because "Adam Paul's not going away." He added, "This 84,418 bucks is the beginning of your legal fees, not the end of your legal fees."
Ellisville council impeaches mayor
The city of Ellisville is without a mayor. That's because the city council voted 5-to-1 to impeach Adam Paul Monday evening.
Mayor Paul and his attorney Chet Pleban left before the final vote. They have maintained for weeks that the impeachment hearings and deliberation were just for show -- that the council's decision was a foregone conclusion based on Paul's opposition to using tax incentives to build a new Walmart.
But former mayor, Councilman Matt Pirrello denies that and tells McGraw in the Morning here on the Big 550 although he's not a fan of tax increment financing--he would still vote in favor of the Walmart TIF.
Matt Pirrello says, "As a responsible leader for my community, I cannot sit back and let my municipality go broke standing on principle."
Before taking the impeachment vote, the council found Paul guilty on six charges of violating the city's charter.
Paul says he'll ask a St. Louis County judge to set aside the impeachment until the newly elected city council takes office April 17th so that the new council can make the decision.
Still no impeachment vote in Ellisville
The fate of Ellisville's embattled mayor won't be known until next week. The City Council was supposed to vote on Mayor Adam Paul's impeachment Wednesday, but postponed deliberations until Monday.
Paul and his attorney Chet Pleban spoke with KTRS's McGraw Millhaven Thursday morning about the proceedings.
Some of the charges against Mayor Paul were dropped last night - due to a lack of evidence. Those include allegations Paul leaked confidential information. Paul says those charges should never have been brought against him.
"Releasing confidential information is pretty, pretty significant, and they're pretty serious allegations," Paul told McGraw. "And if you're going to put allegations like that out there, you better have some evidence."
Paul's attorney Chet Pleban told KTRS's McGraw Millhaven this morning that the charges against his client keep shifting. Pleban says although some charges against his client have been dropped, another charge - that Paul improperly questioned a city official - took center stage at last night's council meeting.
Pleban says the charge stems from an inquiry the mayor made on behalf of a constituent. Pleban told McGraw that the resident wanted to know how he would be compensated for being displaced from low-income housing by the new Walmart development.
"He went to the person who was the relocation expert and asked that question of what does this person get," Pleban said. "He got the answer to that question. He was satisfied with the answer, took it back to his constituent. And now they want to impeach him for asking the relocation person that particular question."
Paul says that when the council finally votes on it, he expects to be ousted, and if that happens, he says he will sue.
Pleban says the city council is already hiring legal representation in anticipation of that lawsuit.
Exclusive: Breaking news on impeachment hearing from Ellisville Mayor's attorney on KTRS' Milhaven show
On the home page of the Ballwin/Ellisville Patch online newspaper, the news outlet features a breaking news item alerting readers that there would be breaking news on McGraw in the Morning at 9am today (Wednesday) on KTRS 550AM (The Big 550).
Below is the story:
"Ellisville residents should listen to tomorrow's radio show sitting down," said Ellisville Mayor Adam Paul, due to the nature of what will be announced. The show will be 9-10 a.m.
Embattled Ellisville Mayor Adam Paul is scheduled as a radio guest on the McGraw Show—radio station 550AM—at 9 a.m. Wednesday. He is slated to discuss items he referred to Tuesday afternoon as "unbelievable."
Paul tells Patch major breaking news and developments will be released regarding his impeachment hearing, which is currently scheduled for April 1.
"If you are an Ellisville resident, you do not want to miss this segment," he said.
Paul was suspended in February after the Ellisvile City Council approved a resolutionalleging the mayor had violated the city charter on several occasions.
His interview will last until 10 a.m. "It will expose a lot of things, and connect the dots," he said.
Alleged police brutality victim now back in police custody
Chief Sam Dotson acknowledges that a letter from the officer's attorney, Chet Pleban, precipitated Lacy's arrest on four outstanding warrants.
Lacy is accusing Officer Proctor of choking him and slamming his head into a patrol car bumper during a trespassing arrest at Lumiere Place Casino last July. Two of the four-outstanding warrants against Lacy stem from that arrest.

FULL TIME The referee brings an end to a crazy second half that saw two red cards, about seven yellows and a crucial goal from Angel Di Maria. A hard fought win for Jose, and his side pull within two points of Barcelona going into the winter break.
Granero goes down and Leon has a pop on goal but it was always rising.
Pedro Leon does well to win a corner and relieve some pressure.
Acosta gets to the byline but Casillas claims his cross at the near post. Four minutes added time...
A stupid kick after the ball had gone from Dabo. We now have ten apiece and about a million yellows too.
Dabo now lashes out at Di Maria and gets a straight red. Its all gone potty.
A tangle ensues as Di Maria goes down after a clip before Acosta leans in to give him some stick. That leads to another rolling on the floor incident. Pathetic football. Acosta is booked, as is Ramos, for getting involved in some shoving.
Pedro Leon handles a Sevilla clearance, then clips the ball into the net after the whistle to pick up a silly card.
The Real fans serenade Jose Mourinho...
Caceres is carded for a sliding tackle on Ronaldo, then he manhandles the ref and is lucky not to see red.
Negredo is judged to have fouled Albiol as they went up for a high ball. Now Zokora and Capel come off and Carlos and Alfaro are on.
Capel is fast becoming my least favourite footballer. His delivery is awful and he dives every two minutes.
Sevilla are now forced into attacking action - something they should have done as soon as Carvalho went off.
Sevilla have defended well tonight but they were all over the place for the goal. Palop shouldn't have come to meet Di Maria, and when he did, one of his defenders should have gone back on the goal-line.
Zokora is late on Granero and gets a yellow card.
That has lifted the mood around the ground. As soon as Di Maria found the net Jose ran to tell Albiol he was coming on. 1-0 will suit him just fine now.
Jose makes a change straight away and brings Ozil off. He is booked for taking his time. Albiol comes on.
GOAL Di Maria has done it! What a good finish. Ozil fed Leon, his shot fell to Di Maria, Palop came out to a tight angle but the winger just turned, jinked and then found the net.
Capel gets room on the left as the game becomes increasingly stretched but his cross is awful. Then Ozil chases down a long punt and Palop is out.
Great defending from Caceres as he matches Ronaldo for pace then nudges him out of the way to win a goal kick as they both chased a long ball.
Has there ever been a player that spends more time on the floor than Capel? Another dive there as Granero chased him.
Di Maria gets round the back but runs the ball out of play under pressure from Dabo.
Pepe meets Di Maria's corner but can only flick it out for a throw on the far side.
Diarra is booked for a nasty lunge on Konko but before that Granero howled for a pen after Ronaldo's shot fell to him six yards out. He tried to turn but Navarro stayed firm and Sevilla clear.
Looks like Real have gone three at the back. Sevilla should definitely get space on the counter.
Palop is out well as Di Maria swings in a cross looking for Ronaldo, who hung in the air like Jordan.
Its just not happening for Madrid at all. Pepe has resorted to thumping long balls up to Ronaldo now.
Real will still push forward and Di Maria wins a corner off Dabo.
Carvalho led with the arm but it looked like a genuine clash of heads rather than an elbow or forearm. Still, he had been booked already and knew he was risking another yellow. That's exactly what he got.
Carvalho has been pushing his luck and now he is off. He rises with Negredo and makes contact with his arm but on second look that might be harsh.
Leon's corner falls to Di Maria at the far post but his half volley was a tricky one to keep down and he couldn't do it.
That will release Ronaldo to play up top. Pedro Leon wins a corner.
Jose has seen enough as Benzema and Khedira come off to be replaced by Granero and Pedro Leon.
Now Di Maria goes down rather easily in the box and is booked for diving. Right decision too. Palop starts shouting in his face needlessly.
Fabiano threaded a lovely ball through to him but Negredo's effort was pitiful. On his wrong foot perhaps but he's paid well so why can't he kick with both?
Oh no no no. Negredo gets a huge chance as he gets through on goal but blasts the ball over the bar with only Casillas to beat. Unforgivable.
Pepe runs over to berate the linesman after he fails to raise the flag on Fabiano. The ball was still active.
Sevilla should be going for this. Not hell for leather, but Real are out of sorts and are ripe for the picking here.
Another awful pass from Benzema, who fluffs a simple ball to Di Maria. He's been woeful tonight.
The fans groan as Benzema relinquishes possession then Carvalho is penalised again for some rough treatment on Fabiano. Has to be careful the ex-Chelsea man.
Needless foul from Carvalho who gives the ball to Negredo then fouls him.
Ronaldo wins an innocuous free kick then tries another effort that bounces in front of Palop but the keeper is wise to it.
Di Maria looks ruefully at Diarra after the midfielder delayed his pass. By the time he released Di Maria was five yards offside.
Ozil tries to drive in a cross but it is right at Palop.
Lovely little clip from Di Maria to Ozil but the German is flagged offside when he was perhaps level. Jose is not happy.
An early chance for Sevilla as Romaric gets down the right and crosses but Casillas gets a hand to it before Negredo can tap home.
We begin again and I'm still none the wiser as to why there was a war between the benches just on the half time whistle..
Comment from Jon Molyneux-Carter: Watching Real Madrid and Barcelona is like chalk and cheese at the moment. Barca are playing superb football and the goals are flowing in. Sadly, the same can't be said for Jose's men.
During the break, why not have a read of Pep Guardiola purring after Barca thrashed city rivals Espnayol last night.
Karim Benzema and Fernando Navarro tussle for the ball.
Click here to ctach up on the rest of Sunday's Spanish action.
HALF TIME A good save right on HT as Dabo's free kick is blocked by Casillas then Pepe prevents Negredo from popping in the rebound. Then as the teams come off the two benches have a little rumble in the tunnel. Not sure what that was about.
Carvalho gets a booking for tugging Negredo's arm as he chased a long ball.
Ronaldo wants a free kick as Caceres got in his way. Nothing doing.
Navarro dawdles a yard behind his defensive colleagues and Ozil is off but he can't reach Khedira's ball before it goes out of play.
Looks like a little verbal jousting between the two benches. For once, Jose doesn't get too involved.
Ronaldo goes into full on sulk mode after losing the ball. As he was ambling back the ball was played to him but he was still two yards offside.
Now when Navarro fouls Di Maria, the referee lets it go! He's all over the place our official.
A little chat between Zokora and Ronaldo and now Capel goes down in ridiculous fashion only to win another free kick. Contact sport anyone?
Another ball forward, another offside call against Benzema.
Capel is down after a coming together with Zokora. Never a foul but this is Spain after all....
Arbeloa tries a Ronaldo stepover but then Di Maria runs right into Zokora.
That is truly terrible Diego Capel. Released by Negredo down the left, with no pressure and numbers in the box, he's sliced a horror cross right out of play. Oh my.
Arbeloa does well to slide in as Konko looked to release Romaric.
Sevilla have been excellent at doubling up on Ronaldo, wherever he pops up on the pitch.
Ronaldo looks for Benzema but Escude concedes a corner. I may have done Fabiano a disservice a moment ago, he was only a yard offside.
Fabiano heads towards goal but checks his run once he realises he's four yards offside.
Di Maria has a pop and a swerving ball causes Palop to fist it behind for a corner that Sevilla clear at the near post.
Real are starting to get a little frustrated now. Sevilla holding firm.
Ronaldo skips down the left and cuts inside but can't pick out a ball.
Now Capel turns in a dangerous ball from a corner and Escude flicks a header just wide.
A big tangle in Real's area as Pepe hacks behind for a corner as Negredo twisted and turned in a bid to get a shot in.
Another free kick that bounces just in front of the keeper but this time Palop holds firm.
Ronaldo lining this one up again...
A great burst from Khedira, as he turns defence into attack and is only interrupted by Zokora, who is lucky not to get a card.
Cracking move involving Ozil, Di Maria and Ronaldo. the latter puts the ball in but Benzema had strayed offside and his shot was saved by Palop in any case.
But Sevilla break down field and Capel's cross finds its way into Konko's path but his shot is wild and over the bar. To be fair, the lay off to him wasn't great.
Palop is out sharply as Diarra looked to put Ronaldo in down the left. Good goalkeeping.
Khedira is in too strongly now on Fabiano.
Now Ozil makes a run and Di Maria finds him but the flag is up.
The first real opening for Real as Ozil slots a lovely ball into Benzema, he sidesteps Palop but then tries a flick to Ronaldo and the Adonis wasn't expecting it.
A very poor ball from Khedira after a lovely run. He had Ozil in support but overhit a regulation pass. Poor.
Now Zokora is down holding his face. No flow to the game yet with all these fouls.
Di Maria tumbles now, under a strong challenge and hands Real another free kick but Ramos' challenge on Escude is to strong.
Ronaldo hands off to Ozil but his ball finds Benzema in an offside position.
Khedira is the latest to take a tumble. Feisty start to the game.
Ronaldo's effort bounces just in front of Palop, who fumbles the ball but manages to reclaim it before any white shirt can pounce.
Now Navarro hauls down Benzema and Ronaldo lines up the free kick from 35 yards out.
A rather rough tackle from Fabiano on Ramos hands Real a free kick.
Now Konko gets to the byline and wins a corner but the ball had gone out of play as it came in.
Pepe does well to nudge Nedgredo off the ball as Sevilla launch an early break.
Bitter sweet news for Sevilla, Luis Fabiano is back but Freddie Kanoute is out. Romaric and Konko also come in.
No Xabi Alonso or Marcelo for Real tonight, but Sergio Ramos is back from injury and Sami Khedira comes in.
After Barcelona dished out a derby thumping to Espanyol last night, Jose's men need a win to pull within two points of the leaders. They have been formidable at the Bernabeu to date though.
Good evening all and welcome to live coverage of Real Madrid's clash with Sevilla in La Liga.
Join us from 2000 GMT for live text commentary of Real Madrid v Sevilla, as Jose Mourinho's side look to close the gap on La Liga leaders Barcelona back to two points. Can Ronaldo, Ozil and co. produce the goods?

Rex Ryan hasn't made a quarterback change just yet, but if you're Mark Sanchez the writing is on the wall. While the Jets' head honcho wants to consult with his staff before making a franchise-altering decision, it's hard to figure that a rattled and dejected Sanchez will have his starting job waiting for him when he returns to practice this week.
"I just want to make sure that I get all of the facts and everything else," Ryan told reporters on Monday afternoon. "It's a big decision. Obviously, the decision, I think, has to be made in what gives us the best opportunity to beat Jacksonville."
Ironically the New York Jets' trip to central Florida will be a homecoming of sorts for Wildcat specialist Tim Tebow, who missed the last two games due to fractured ribs. With speculation growing that Greg McElroy could replace Sanchez for the remainder of the season, Ryan insists New York's quarterback competition is a three-horse race.
"I think all three guys, well now have proven they can win in this league, with Greg (McElroy) at the end of the game and obviously, Mark's (Sanchez history here and the way Tim (Tebow) has played," indicated Ryan. "So, I've got three guys I'm confident in but I'll make that decision as the week goes on."
With Jets' fans spewing vitriol in Sanchez's direction, Ryan tried to put his struggling signal-caller's situation in perspective.
"Mark Sanchez has won a lot of football games for this franchise, has won some big games for us, has produced a lot of big wins for us and has been a good player for us," admitted Ryan. 'Final wake-up call?' I don't know about that."
Ryan has been in Sanchez's corner through the ups and downs of his four-year playing career, but with the former USC Trojan reaching a new low-point, Gang Green's head coach recognizes that a change could very well be in order.
"There are a lot of decisions you make as a coach that are tough decisions," noted Ryan. "A lot of times, they're easy decisions if you always put the three priorities first: the team, the team and the team. When you do that, the decision is sometimes easier. But as a head coach, there are a lot of tough decisions. You have to take personal feelings outside of it because it's bigger than just me, this person or that person."
With a glimmer of playoff hope still lingering for the Jets, New York's big cheese isn't conceding anything at late stage of the season.
"We're a sub-.500 team, so we're just trying to scratch and claw our way back into it," mentioned Ryan of a possible playoff run. "Obviously, you want to be playing at the end of the year for an opportunity to get in (the playoffs). It's hard to get in the playoffs, but you want to fight like crazy to get in there if you can."

McClintock's images capture the uniqueness of the area, highlighting the people and landscape that trademark the county.McClintock says he finds the landscape of Osage County familiar and comfortable. "It is a complex but quiet landscape – a subtle mixture of texture and tone, which the eye can fail to appreciate at first glance," he describes. "A fall pasture might appear to be a monotonous brown mass as you drive past. But hike through it and you will discover that particular brown is composed of a hundred shades of red, green, blue, and yellow."

Fans are not buying George Lucas' claim that Han Solo (Harrison Ford, right) didn't shoot first.
Face it, George Lucas: everyone knows Han shot first.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the "Star Wars" director, whose "Phantom Menace" hits theaters in 3-D this weekend, not only defended his controversial additions to the special edition of the original film, but attempted to change movie history.
In the infamous cantina shootout between Han Solo and bounty hunter Greedo, the original shot shows Han Solo blasting Greedo, the edited version shows Greedo aiming and missing from point-blank range, then being shot by Han.
Despite the fact that millions of people saw the scene in theaters and no one ever had any doubt about what happened, Lucas is now saying that Greedo always shot first, and his edits were just making that more obvious.
"It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom," Lucas told THR. "I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down."
Because he did!
Lucas goes on to blame the rest of the world for wanting Han to be a "cold-blooded killer," thus misinterpreting the film for decades.
But fans have their own opinions. Wrote Chris Wootton in response to the Hollywood Reporter interview: "Sorry Lucas but it was never an argument over 'who shot first' Han shot him to save his own life ... simple."
And on TotalFilm.com, a fan going by FBPMurray37 agrees, noting, "Greedo is a highly experienced bounty hunter. Yet he misses Han from three feet. ... The only way Han walks out of that situation alive is if he blows Greedo away before Greedo gets the chance to do the same thing to him."
Even children understood the scene from the start. As David Sparks tweeted, "George is delusional. It was clear to me as an 8-year-old. Han shot first."
Lucas isn't too concerned with whether or not fans are upset. "Well, it's not a religious event.," he said. "I hate to tell people that… It's a movie, just a movie."
Tell us on Facebook: Which scene do you prefer? Who do you think shot first?

Take a look at the picture below. The leaking/dripping part is the thing that juts out from the main pipe.
So help me out ....... what is this? Some kind of pressure release or something? Appears to be a brass fitting.
Is this an easy replace? Screw off old, screw on new?
Another issue -- I don't have a shutoff valve prior to this piece. The main shutoff for the house is located downstream - it's up past the top of the photo after the water gets past the pressure tank.
Also downstream from this point there is a drain valve that I can connect to a hose. Do I basically have to kill the electricity and drain the whole system in order to work at this area?
To help orient you - the water enters the house from the pipe in the lower left of the photo. Then it comes to this junction point - to the left is the pressure tank, to the right is mystery part. Continuing up past the top of the screen is the rest of the house plumbing.
Appreciate all your help.

I'm warning you people. After this year, they will expand the festival space and just have one giant festival. No more 2 weekends. It takes too long and costs too much to get the grass back to polo shape.
How exactly are they going to expand to accomodate the number of people that go? Are they going to bulldoze people's property or just put turf on the surrounding streets?
Bumblebee--where are you to do the math and the googling?
Apparently that one extra weekend--you know, in addition to the other three fucking weekends where they have been having a festival there for the past several years--just creates too much damage for them to repair in, oh, EIGHT MONTHS. Jesus Christ, Gunz.
I'm just repeating what has been told me from people who are in the position to know.
How did you know?
She's worth at least 350. She's got all her teeth now.
We shall see.
I guess we'll find out in about 5 months.
Wait. Why are you laughing?
She seems to think that Coachella will go back to one weekend next year..even though Goldenvoice has committed to doing five festivals a year at the polo fields.
Ha, no . . . . this was during the time that everybody was speculating about when the line-up was going to be released and everybody knew somebody who knew somebody who knew. I had actually heard this from a friend but I called bullshit on her from the get go. I threw it in here and was shocked at how defensive everybody got so I played along. I forgot about this until somebody voted on this poll today.
In other words, I never believed it either.

As I preluded last week, I wore my red dress with an aqua cardigan - I am loving that color combo this holiday season!
And that aqua cardigan gets plenty of use - I think the hand-stamped hearts makes it more fun and the "crafty" in me loves to wear something that I've crafted. I wore this to take a picture for the tutorial post, but I plan to wear it again for Valentine's Day:
One Little Belt (when you know a kid belt maker, you can get one in small adult size - bonus!) - nothing cuter than a baby in a belt, so check out her shop.
Do you plan outfits around holidays??

The Arts Council has extended warmest congratulations to writer and Council member Colm Tóibín on the news that he has won the Costa Novel Award for Brooklyn.
Following the announcement Pat Moylan, Chairman of the Arts Council said, "Brooklyn is a moving and skillfully crafted novel. Colm Tóibín pulls the reader into a world of submerged and unspoken emotion though brilliant and graceful command of language, voice and point of view. In this deceptively quiet and remarkably poignant novel, Colm's prose is expertly composed and his characters adeptly drawn. A writer wholly committed to his art, it is a great pleasure to see Colm win this award.

A Brief History of the Breed
|Cheviots taken North over 200 years ago
|The breed has a very long pedigree, going back over 200 years.
The story begins with the noted 18th century agricultural improver, Sir John Sinclair of Ulbster, in Caithness, in the far north of Scotland.
There was concern at this time about the deteriorating quality of the sheep stock in both Scotland and England.
Wool, which had for centuries previously been one of the staple commodities of the country, was now of such poor quality that most of the supplies needed for the British woollen industry had to be imported.
|Now a recognised breed noted for its carcase quality
|This concern led to the setting up, at the instigation of Sir John, of the British Wool Society in 1791. The Wool Society carried out field trials with a variety of sheep breeds from all over Europe with a view to introducing new blood to improve native stock.
Of all the different breeds, native and foreign, Sir John was most impressed with the "long hill sheep" found on the Border Hills.
He gave them the name "Cheviots" and, backing his own judgement, took 500 north to his Langwell estate in Caithness. The Cheviots were a great success and in the following years thousands and thousands were taken north - to Caithness, Sutherland and Ross-shire.
Over the years the sheep adapted and developed to suit their new environment and the North Country Cheviot, as we know it today, has evolved from these early "settlers". There are now three distinct types within the breed :
|Hill or Lairg Type
|The sheep that developed on the hard and rugged hills of Sutherland are known as the Hill Type. (They must not be confused with the South Country Cheviots which are nowadays sometimes called Hill Cheviots.) The Hill Type of North Country Cheviot has retained many of the visual characteristics of the original Cheviot of the late 18th / early 19th centuries.
|Caithness Type
|The more fertile ground of Caithness has produced a bigger and heavier sheep, the Caithness Type
|Border Type
|The re-infusion of the bloodlines of these two types back to the Borders between the two World Wars has resulted in a third strain, known as the Border Type .

Customize your course and add visibility.
Powder coating is an advanced durable dry plastic powder paint applied onto a metal surface. When spray painting, the powder paint cloud is charged with static electricity that attracts the powder paint to the part being coated. The part is then placed in an industrial oven and baked at high temperature.
Customers are advised however that powder coating is prone to chipping. Disc golf baskets unlike other powder coated steel products like indoor displays or even bicycles, take an incredible amount of abuse from the impact of discs, chains and the elements. The smallest chip or scratch in the powder coating on untreated steel will begin the corrosion process. DGA takes the extra step to galvanize our products prior to powder coating in order to combine the durability of galvanizing with the attractive appearance of powder-coating.
The galvanizing steps we take prior to powder coating prevents rust that would otherwise begin almost immediately on an untreated steel powder coated basket installed in an outdoors facility.
Color Options:
DGA Mach II and Mach V come in two stock color options: Blue Sparkle or Orange Blaze. DGA Disc Pole Holes can be ordered in the custom colors as well.
If you have a custom color request, we will try to meet your needs. Custom powder coating color orders require a minimum order of 20 units. We will do our best to match your color request however we cannot guarantee exact color matching. Please contact us for a quote for the most current pricing on custom powder coating jobs.
*Please note DGA does not powder coat poles. The pole takes more abuse then any other part of a Disc Pole Hole. One of the quickest way to destroy powder coating is to bang chain against it which not only leaves a pole that looks horrible, but leaves the remnants of the chipped powder coating around the target to be absorbed into the soil.

The common core conundrum: Are the new standards the best thing to happen in education, or are they setting the bar too high for teachers and students?
Laura Leitch kept her daughter home from Nate Perry Elementary School last Monday. Leitch's daughter wasn't sick, nor was there a family emergency. She wasn't playing hooky. No, Leitch kept her daughter home in protest of New York state's Common Core education standards. "I have to say, the school is great and her teachers are wonderful," Leitch said. "The reason I kept her home on Monday was strictly in protest of Common Core."
Skaneateles schools participate in walk to school day
Since 1997, schools across the nation have been participating in the International Walk to School Day, which occurs one day each year in early October. On the morning of Oct. 9, five Central New York schools participated in the event: Minoa Elementary and Fremont Elementary in the East Syracuse Minoa school district, Waterman Primary School and State Street Intermediate School in the Skaneateles school district and McKinley-Brighton Elementary in the Syracuse city school district.

The Manlius Chamber of Commerce is encouraging residents to discover Manlius throughout the month of October through its buy local campaign.
Despite new standards, F-M and J-D students excel on state tests
According to this year's math and English Language Arts (ELA) tests administered by the state of New York, less than a third of students in grades three through eight are performing at grade level.

Morrissey has shared the tracklist for his upcoming album, "World Peace is None of Your Business," and he's out-Morrissey'ed himself with the titles.
Here are the Colorado tickets going on sale — the Avett Brothers, Morrissey and more.
The Morrissey tour includes 25 U.S. dates, assuming the singer can stay healthy this year.
Asked if he's been advised to retire from music, Morrissey said, "I have been cautioned to, but it's difficult for me because it's very ingrained in me."
It was only a matter of time until we would hear that Morrissey has canceled his tour. Now after a series of postponements it's official — Morrissey will not perform the rest of his scheduled tour dates.
Morrissey has canceled his Tuesday performance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," saying he could not perform because the cast of "Duck Dynasty" will also appear.
Churchill will suddenly make its network TV debut on "Jimmy Kimmel" on Tuesday, acting as a replacement for Morrissey, who refused to play because "Duck Dynasty" cast members were appearing in the same episode.
Is it time for Denver to actually get its hopes up that it might see Morrissey? After two scheduled shows and two postponements no one in Colorado is all that surprised to Morrissey's tour dates come and go, without actually seeing the former Smiths frontman.
Morrissey is insisting that his March 1 performance at the Staples Center will be an entirely meat-free event, even though he seems to be the only one saying it.
After already rescheduling his show in Denver once, Morrissey has postponed his stop at the Buell Theatre for Feb. 21, he announced today.

Vanuatu has now ratified the International Criminal Court (ICC) Treaty, becoming the 120th nation to acceded to ICC jurisdiction. The ICC has jurisdiction to prosecute war crime, crimes against humanity and genocide which occurs within the territory of the nations which have ratified the treaty, or committed by nationals of those nations, or when referred to court by the United Nations Security Council.
The court has ongoing prosecutions in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, the Darfur region of Sudan, Ivory Coast, and involving post election violence in Kenya. There are also indictments from Uganda, though none of indictees, all members of the Lord's Resistance Army have appeared before the court. The court has also issued indictments from Libya, upon referral of the Security Council, though one of the indictees, Muammar Qadafi was killed, and the other two are currently in custody in Libya, and may not be transferred to the court. The past president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo has made his first appearance in the court this week, though Ivory Coast is not a signatory to the treaty, it has accepted ICC jurisdiction.

By SHONNA MILLIKEN HUMPHREY
Maine is a fried seafood lover's paradise, and I encourage all paradise seekers to venture beyond the traditional seaside locales – because, although less aesthetically pleasing, Susan's Fish-n-Chips delivers some of the tastiest fried food in southern Maine.
The atmosphere is casual, but Susan's Fish-n-Chips in Portland is serious about fresh seafood fried well.
Staff file photos by John Patriquin
Susan's makes a point of using fresh haddock for fish and chips.
SUSAN'S FISH-N-CHIPS, 1135 Forest Ave., Portland, 878-3240; susansfishnchips.com
HOURS: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily
PRICES: $1.99 to $18.99, with dinners in the $10 range. A particularly good deal is the fried fish sandwich special at two for $2.50 on Mondays and Tuesdays.
BAR: No
CREDIT CARDS: Yes, but bring cash for the tip jar.
VEGETARIAN: Limited
RESERVATIONS: No
KIDS: Yes; children's menu
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS: Yes
TAKEOUT: Yes
BOTTOM LINE: Susan's Fish-n-Chips is a local treasure on outer Forest Avenue. The lack of ambience becomes a sort of meta/alt-ambience. Go to Susan's for the fried fresh seafood. The staff is friendly and welcoming, portions are great, and the price is right.
Ratings follow this scale and take into consideration food, atmosphere, service and value: ★ Poor ★★ Fair ★★★ Good ★★★★ Excellent ★★★★★ Extraordinary. The Maine Sunday Telegram visits an establishment twice if the first dining experience was unsatisfactory. The reviewer dines anonymously.
Open since 1989, Susan's has achieved a sort of local cult status. Happily, it stands up to its reputation. Stuffed into a traffic-heavy asphalt cluster of outer Forest Avenue in Portland – next door to an auto repair shop – Susan's iconic blue awning and Pepsi sign welcome diners.
With a tangle of old buoys outside and a walk-up counter, old carpet and large garbage bins along a wall inside, the whole space initially feels a little grungy. Add the hot oil fryers, hand scrawled signage, walls covered haphazardly with items that straddle a fine line between kitsch and junk, and expectations must be managed.
Haute cuisine, this is not. However, the staff is friendly, and there's free coffee. Also free? Ice cream, for any kid (under 12) showing a good report card. Picnic tables are big enough to stretch upon, and the wooden booths in the back are cozy, even if a little sticky. The multi-paneled garage door-cum-window is interesting, and the corny signs bring smiles.
If you crave fried seafood, I cannot think of any place in the state that does it better.
I will discuss the menu, but this is a study in fried food, so I did not expect batter from an iSi Whip – I just hoped for crisp and not soggy. I wanted to taste distinct fish and batter flavors, not just oil and salt. I wanted to pop a piece of tender, not dry, seafood in my mouth without needing to sponge grease from my fingers.
The eponymous fish and chips are fresh haddock filets, and the fries are hand-cut. A "dinnah" that includes the fries and choice of potato or pasta salad and coleslaw costs $8.99. Or go for the fried fish nuggets solo ($4.99 a pint and $8.99 a quart).
Susan's makes a point to use fresh haddock, and this effort shows in the result. Also, this is not a light, airy, tempura-style batter. Crunchy and substantial, this batter makes a solid crust for the steamy, delicate flakes inside.
For $5, the Susan's crew will custom-fry any cleaned catch that you bring in. ("You catch it, you clean it, we'll cook it," reads the website.)
Smelt is on the menu. People seem to love or hate these tiny whole fish. (Ever been smelt fishing? File this for next winter's activity list: maine.gov/dmr/recreational/smeltcamps.)
Personally, I love the smelt's slightly gamy mineral taste, but find the bone texture off-putting. But Susan's breaded nine of them in my generous pint ($7.99), and if smelt is your thing, there's not a lot of room for disappointment.
Winning the best novelty category is fried lobster tail on a stick, available on Fridays and Saturdays for $4.25. As a lover of lobster in all forms, I can verify that the frying process does little to detract from the lobster's unique and delicate taste. Rather, tipping this sort of adult lollipop fondue-style into a plastic cup of drawn butter seems like a very civilized manner of consumption. Again, lobster tails are steamy underneath their golden coating.
Susan's offers clams as strips or whole bellies, and the pint portions are generous. Quarts, even more so. The strips are, predictably but not unhappily, chewy, while the whole bellies add a creamy texture to the experience – both versions are encased in a medium golden batter that tastes clean and crisp.
