2009 NPPA Judges Hold High Standards in Turbulent Time
For one week, during a time of unprecedented change in the industry, 11 judges endured early mornings and late nights to evaluate excellence in photojournalism.
This year 3,700 journalists from 147 countries submitted more that 52,000 entries (still photographs, video and Web entries) for the Best of Photojournalism contest.
Fixing their eyes upon 11.5-foot-wide projection screens, they witnessed, vetted and honored new forms of photographic reporting as they set aside the turbulence in their news organizations and personal lives. At least six of the 11 judges faced uncertainty about their own jobs.
Their mission was, as Best of Photojournalism Committee Chair Harry Walker said, to "set new standards of photographic excellence." In still photography, they looked for photographic reporting that showed the time-honored "decisive moment." In online and multimedia presentations, they pushed new expectations for work that focused on the extended and interactive moments.
Web judges kept late nights to select winners in the audio slideshow, Web video and multimedia categories. They boldly withheld winners in a few categories rather than embracing the "good enough" attitude that has plagued online journalism.
Maurice Rivenbark of Poynter's St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times observed as judges discussed and debated projects and told him what makes award-winning work. Take a look at his peek inside the judging process.

Canes 'Suit Up' to Play Visitors--at the White House
Posted February 2, 2007
Updated February 3, 2007
The entire team and management had a visit with President Bush to acknowledge their winning the National Hockey League championship for the 2005-2006 season.
The visit mixed praise and humor. The president congratulated the team on their accomplishment and teased defenseman Mike Commodore about his mane of hair.
"You know, I'm not sure what's prettier—the Stanley Cup or Mike Commodore's hair," Bush told an audience that included the state's two senators and Rep. Howard Coble.
The session was "a pretty big deal for a guy who doesn't even know how to ice skate," the president said to chuckles from the players.
"At the start of the season, this team was ranked 28th out of 30 teams," Bush recalled, tongue-in-cheek, of the championship run. "I like to be around people who keep expectations low."
You can watch the entire Canes visit.

Ceiops: risk-oriented approach to Solvency II needed
Daily news headlines
FRANKFURT – In light of the current economic turmoil, the Committee of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Supervisors (Ceiops) has reiterated the importance of a having a risk-orientated approach towards Solvency II – the planned European Union capital requirements directive for insurers.
Ceiops has confirmed it, "without considering amendments to the architecture of Solvency II", will start "reflecting on lessons to be learned for the proposed regime, with a view to any strengthening of the focus on financial stability, and any further convergence as a Level 3 Committee in the Lamfalussy process".
The degree of future convergence through the Lamfalussy process remains unknown, but Ceiops is keen to stress an increasingly central role for itself in the Solvency II process. Ceiops also underlined the importance of a flexible approach suited to market conditions "in normal as well as in crisis times".
Ceiops is keen to avoid disturbing the approval process of the Level 1 directive, and duplication of existing work by it and other bodies, so will it centrally co-ordinate its review work and will focus on lessons to be learned and Level 2 implementing measures.

China: We just gave Cambodia $1.2 billion because we're nice
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
China is denying that the $1.2 billion in aid that Vice President Xi Jinping pledged during a visit to Cambodia yesterday had anything to do with the fact that just hours earlier, the country deported 20 Uighur asylum speakers — a move that Xi praised during the very same visit:
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman defended the deportations Tuesday, called the handling of the Uighurs an "internal affair" and said there were "no strings attached" to the aid package.
"According to my knowledge, some are suspected of criminal cases," Jiang Yu told a regularly scheduled news briefing. "Public security forces will handle the relevant outlaws. Their whereabouts, I have no information to offer you."

Students at Rush City High School and neighboring Jacobson Elementary helped stock local food shelves through a food drive full of enthusiasm.
As part of the North Branch County Market's Stuff-A-Truck effort, the food drive was embraced by the high school student council members. They turned it into a competition among the classes on who could raise the most nonperishable food items by pound per student.
When it was all said and done, students and staff responded with fine collections — Jacobson raised 1,700 pounds; RCHS, 2,300 pounds — and much satisfaction over helping local people in need throughout a week and a day before Thanksgiving.
"It was exciting," said RCHS student Alissa Mell, a member of the student council. "I got pulled out of fifth hour to go to the store for food."
"It was fun," added fellow student councilor Taylor Youngblom, recalling all the grocery carts that were filled and the kids who kept asking what classes had won. "It got really competitive."
The top three classes were awarded donuts from County Market. The winners included social studies teacher Grant Nicoll's class of 30 students, who generated 844 pounds of food including 70 2-liters of soda; the media center and its seven students with 312 pounds; and teacher LeeAnn Anderson's Spanish class, which raised 367 pounds.
"The last day people went crazy with pop and the heavy stuff," Youngblom said.
Collected items ranged from a variety of nonperishable foods, bleach, laundry detergent and bottles of water, Mell noted.
The food drive began to take off on a Friday morning when Nicoll went to the store during his lunch hour to get more items. He had other staff helping out, too. Anderson, meanwhile, sent pictures of the food her class collected to Nicoll.
"Word spread throughout the week, and the kids started calculating and competing to get the most," RCHS teacher and student council adviser Erika Matzke said. "If it gets kids excited and to think of others, all the better, and it didn't take away from the academic school day."
The student council is now planning a hat and mitten drive for younger children prior to Christmas, as the food drive event seemed to strike a chord with these student leaders who are finding the true rewards in giving back to the community.
"This is a great experience for the students who are organizing these events," Matzke said. "They can give back and still handle the day-to-day responsibilities of life. There's not always rewards, either. It's the satisfaction of doing something great for others. This is a way of investing back in the community.
"The seed has been planted," she added.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Do you have lower back pain?
History of Arthritis,Diabetes?
Neck stiffness?
Do you feel tingling in legs at certain positions?
Associated swelling,pain in legs?
I do have DDD in my lumbar spine. I was dx with DM type 2 about 10 years ago; however, I recently lost 60 lbs and have had normal bld glucose and dc'd glucophage 9 months ago. I do have osteoarthritis, in fact I am scheduled for trigger thumb release and "cleaning up" of joint at the base of my thumb and insertion of pins for stabilization in a few weeks. I have a hx of CHF, acute renal failure, cellulitis of bil legs. I have slight swelling of lower legs. The tingling does not seem to be related to any position. It will occur while sitting, standing and laying down. I was having neck pain and stiffness, but it was related to a torn rotator cuff, which was repaired 4 months ago.
I have been reading alot about complications associated with IVC filters and thought this might be related.
Hello,Thanks for providing more information.
Well i understand your concern about tingling sensation.
As you describe,tingling sensation in legs,arms are most likely related to your degenerative Arthritic changes in spine which later causes irritation of nerves in their path.
It is less likely to be related to IVC filters.
Chronic Diabetes can also result in peripheral neuropathy(weird sensation in extremities).
Physical therapy,stretching exercises can be helpful in your case.
As you have appointment with your Cardiologist so it's good to discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
If required,a referral to Orthopedist should be considered.
I hope this helps.
Please rate me highly (Star 5 Great Service), if you are satisfied with our conversation.
If you have any further query then feel free to ask.
Bonus and positive feedback are highly appreciated.
Good Luck.
Thank you.

LARGO, Fla., Jersey Mike's Subs, known for its fresh sliced/fresh grilled Jersey Shore-style subs, officially opened its doors in the Clearwater area when it opens in Largo on September 4. Franchise owner James Connolly held a grand opening and free sub fundraiser from Wednesday, September 4 to Sunday, September 15 to support the Abilities Foundation.
The new restaurant, located at 2687 Roosevelt Boulevard, circulated 10,000 coupons throughout the community offering a free regular sub for a minimum $1 contribution to the Abilities Foundation. Half of these 10,000 coupons will be valid through September 8, with the other half being valid through September 15.
The Abilities Foundation's vision is to ensure that people with disabilities have the opportunity to participate with dignity in everything that community life has to offer. Its mission is to support the needs of Floridians and military veterans with disabilities through gainful employment, affordable housing, independent living, recreational/cultural resources, advocacy, health, and accessible marketplaces.
Started at the Jersey Shore in 1956, Jersey Mike's continued its steady growth in 2012 opening 92 new restaurants throughout the country, a 33 percent increase in new store growth over 2011.
Connolly exemplifies Jersey Mike's quest for excellence as it selects franchise owners who share the company's commitment to quality products and exceptional customer service and who are dedicated to giving back to the local community. Since 2010, locations throughout the country have raised almost $7 million for worthy local charities and distributed more than 500,000 free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes.
"For our grand opening fundraiser we have the opportunity to partner with the Abilities Foundation," said Connolly. "Specifically, we will be raising money for the Veterans Mall. This branch of the organization helps provide household essentials for veterans who are transitioning back to life at home. We are grateful for this chance to give back to our veterans and support them through the work of the Abilities Foundation."
Passionate Jersey Mike's fans crave their subs made Mike's Way™ with onions, lettuce, tomatoes and a signature olive oil blend, vinegar and spices. The company uses only private labeled meats and cheeses that are sliced fresh for each sub sandwich and piled high on in-store baked bread. Everything is quickly made to order for each customer, just the way the first subs were made at the original Jersey Mike's more than fifty years ago. The Jersey Mike's experience always includes its trademark neighborly banter served up by a high-energy Jersey Mike's team.
This is Connolly's third Jersey Mike's location. In June 2012, he opened his first in St. Petersburg. Connolly is the owner of an additional location in Pinellas Park that opened in April of this year.
Store hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. You can contact this store directly at (727) 400-4779.

Mobile gaming is growing (slowly)
Jupiter Research has announced last week a new research report "Portable Games Devices – Forecasting Growth in Anticipation of Intensifying Competition" in which it forecasts that the audience for portable gamers will grow from 23 million in 2003 to 43 million in 2009, with revenue growing from $1.6 billion in 2003 to $2.7 billion in 2009.
I don't see this as a strong growth, I would have expected bigger numbers. I have the sensation we are going to face a saturation in consumers' interest in gaming. There are too many devices out there (consolles, pc, mobile phones, PDA and all dedicated devices like GameBoy N-Gage and Zodiac) and some industry's players will surely be disappointed by the challenge on the gaming market.

New member Annie Lefebvre, the winner of the "door prize," flanked by the owners of the Matte Zone, Darryl MacFarlane (left), and Fred Sopchyshyn (right). The prize, chosen at random, consisted of two beautiful apatite crystals in the calcite matrix.
On Tuesday, May 9, John Udd, an authority on mining in the Ottawa area, led 20 members of the Ottawa Branch on a day-long field trip to the famous Yates Uranium Prospect near Sandy Creek, on the Picanoc River, Pontiac County, Québec. Eight of the group members had joined the Ottawa Branch in order to participate in this exceptional trip. The diverse activities of the Ottawa Branch are becoming well-known and are stimulating membership growth.
Discovered in 1955, the deposit, in a radioactive pegmatite dyke, has acquired a world-class reputation as a source of exceptional crystals of apatite, fluorapatite, diopside, titanite, scapolite, allanite, and about 50 other minerals in the salmon-pink calcite of the core of the deposit. Samples from the Yates "mine" are in many of the world's major mineral collections. The deposit was originally staked as a uranium prospect in the 1950s. In 1997, the Matte Zone was again staked as a collecting locality by the partners in Grenville Minerals. In 2005, the adjacent claims were acquired by Aldershot Resources Limited, of Vancouver. The Matte Zone deposit is not generally accessible to collectors and visitors and was "off-limits" for a few years following the death of one of the original partners. Today, it is accessible only to specialized groups of proven reputation and expertise who have obtained the insurance coverage required. These include the Central Canadian Federation of Mineralogical Societies, the Upper Ottawa Valley Geology Club, and, as of now, the CIM Ottawa Branch.
Udd, who organized the trip and is the author of "A Guide to the Mineral Deposits of Southeastern Ontario and Southwestern Québec" is well known to the owners of the deposit. During the day, all of the members of the group obtained beautiful samples of many of the prominent minerals. One stated that "it was the most exceptional introduction to a new technical group" that she had ever encountered. Another field trip will be organized for the fall.

Washington (Dec. 3)
Displaced persons in the American and British zones of Germany will be maintained on the same basis as Germans, from the German economy, according to the terms of the Anglo-American agreement for economic fusion of the two zones, signed today by Secretary of State Byrnes and British Foreign Secretary Bevin.
The preferential treatment accorded displaced persons in the American zone will however, be continued. The agreement specified "that supplementary rations and other benefits which may be provided for displaced persons in excess of those available to German citizens must be brought into Germany without cost to the German economy."
Assistant Secretary of State John H. Hilldring, who concluded the agreement for the United States, said that this country will find means outside the agreement to supplement the food given displaced persons in the American zone. This means that DP's other than persecutees will continue to receive 2,000 calories a day, and that persecutees will receive 2,200 daily, as compared with the 1,550 given Germans.

Former Dallas Cowboys veteran center Phil Costa 'is visiting the Indianapolis Colts today and the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday, according to a league source.
He has previously visited the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots.
Costa was cut by the Cowboys rather than accept a reduction in pay.
Costa is a 6-foot-3, 302-pounder from Maryland.
He has started 20 of 26 career games, but started no games last season after the Cowboys drafted center Travis Frederick in the first round.
Costa started every game during the 2011 season.

The Fort Ord Reuse Authority shifted course last week on a controversial consistency determination — potentially complicating future projects on the former base.
Now the determination, which was supposed to make sure the county's general plan and FORA's plan work together, is in legal limbo after a tie vote.
All jurisdictions on the former Army base are required by state law to have their plans for land and development match up with the Fort Ord Reuse Plan.
The FORA board voted in February that the plans matched and the Monterey County supervisors had done the same in August.
In a surprising move on Friday for what was supposed to be the final vote on the matter, two board members flipped their votes and another abstained.
As of late Wednesday, no one could say for sure exactly what that meant.
FORA officials said last week the whole thing had to go back to the Monterey County supervisors. Not so fast, said Carl Holm, deputy director of the county Resource Management Agency.
He said Wednesday that he asked county counsel to review if the first vote stands because the second was a tie, as well as other options.
"We are reviewing all legal ramifications of the vote," he said.
Several environmental groups argued Monterey County's rules for development were much weaker than the FORA Reuse Plan, particularly when it came to water.
Supervisor Dave Potter said the differences were minor and nothing would make it easier for future projects to get approved if the plans were found consistent.
Yet others, such as county Supervisor Lou Calcagno and Victoria Beach, actually changed their minds since the first vote.
Calcagno argued the county's plan presumes areas of Fort Ord have a long-term water supply unlike the FORA plan, which has strict allocations.
"The general public is saddled with the burden of proving there is no long-term supply of water," he said.
He said if the plans were found consistent, it may be subject to legal challenges down the road.
Seaside Mayor Ralph Rubio said the authority's reuse plan has precedent over all other plans, so it shouldn't be an issue.
"It's enough comfort for me to say we can move forward on this project," he said.
The confusion over the two plans and dozens of legal arguments was too much for one board member.
Casey Lucius of Pacific Grove, at her first meeting as a board member, said she read more than 800 pages of documents to prepare for the one item but could not in good conscience vote.
"I have to be honest and say I was trying to be very thorough and read everything but it doesn't mean I understand," she said.
With Lucius' abstention, it left the vote tied 6-6.
Also at the meeting, FORA chair Jerry Edelen admitted he made a mistake closing last month's meeting to public comment after a complaint from Keep Fort Ord Wild attorney Molly Erickson.
To close public comment he said "going once, going twice. Thank you very much, back to the board."
By not declaring it closed, Erickson argued draft meeting minutes stating the meeting had been closed to the public were false and a violation of the law. She said FORA needed to investigate the matter and turn over its findings to the state attorney general.
"I think most people in the audience — I think 99.9 percent of the people — realize ... that was the close of the public hearing," Edelen said.
He then declared the public hearing from February closed.
"We can now go in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest public hearing," he said.

In 2004 we redesigned our wakeskates 12mm thick and with narrow waist for quick edge to edge responsiveness. This thin profile makes kick flips and shuvits easier to execute and provides stable landings that won't slip out.

This could go either way (good or bad) but the board is hard to do stuff on because its so sticky with the traction grip it has. It is good for when your trying to stick a new move though. I like it!

I like how loose this board feels.
Its a fun ride. My whole crew uses it. We originally just bought it because it was so cheap.

Whats the Deal?
- Artist: Dumb Blind Luck
- Format: CD
- Release Date:11/30/2004
|your cart is empty
Dumb Blind Luck is a five piece group based in Clearwater, FL. The two guitarists, Bob Forrest and Jim Neal, have known each other and played in various bands since meeting in High School in San Francisco in the late 60s. Growing up surrounded by the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane and all the many famous groups playing at the original Fillmore Auditorium, Jim and Bob played folk, rock, and a bit of jazz on both acoustic and electric guitars. After Bob moved to Clearwater, Florida in the late 90's, he met and began playing and writing with Cookie Leonard. She plays both keyboards and electric violin and the two of them began writing in earnest. After trying out various local musicians on bass and drums, the group settled with Mike Alkema, a wonderful horn player who took up the bass just for the group, and Tony Lago, a Cuban-born drummer. Jim Neal joined up with his old partner Bob to complete the band and combined his lyrical guitar playing along with his experience in recording and engineering to help co-produce and engineer the CD with Bob. Bob and Cookie share the song writing credits and between Bob's Dylanesque blues and rock lyrics and Cookie's soulful voice and jazzy keyboards, the group developed it's unique blend of foot tapping and upbeat soul stirring tunes you'll hear here on 'What's The Deal?'

OAKLEY — Bwah ha! Halloween's coming early to Oakley, where the City Council on Monday approved a short-term lease with a local couple who plans to sell costumes and other paraphernalia for the frightfully fun holiday.
In a 4-0 vote, the council agreed to rent the former Centromart building at 3110 Main St. to Brentwood residents Ken and Jennifer Challberg from Aug. 5 through Nov. 5 for $5,000 per month.
Councilwoman Carol Rios was absent.
It'll take about a month to finish ordering merchandise, stock the store and decorate it with props and mannequins, the Challbergs said before the meeting.
In addition to owning and operating three gyms, including California Total Fitness Center in Oakley, they ran a Halloween outlet store in Concord two years ago and most recently, one in Antioch.
The goal is to open either the last week in August or the first week of September, Ken Challberg said.
"We overdo it," he added. "You're going to spend an hour just going through the store. It's a ton of stuff."
Typically a reflection of popular movies, this year's costumes will represent characters in such box-office hits as "Despicable Me" and "Monsters Inc.," Jennifer Challberg said.
The store also will sell Christmas lights and tree decorations.
Although the city still owns the building, it has approved its sale to a Texas developer that plans to turn it into a Dollar General Market, a general merchandise store that also includes a grocery.

Alteplase Linked to Higher Rates of Brain Bleeds
According to researchers, real-world rates of brain bleeds linked to the tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) alteplase (Activase) are much higher than rates recorded in a clinical trial setting.
About the Aleplase Study
Medpage Today reports that a recent study has found that rates of intracerebral hemorrhage linked to Alteplase are nearly double what was recorded in a clinical setting.
In their clinical study, the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) recorded a rate of intracerebral hemorrhage of 6.4 percent. Amy Buxton, PA, and her team from Wagner Colege in New York City, however, state that they recorded an intracerebral hemorrhage rate of 15.6 percent.
For their study, Buxton and her colleagues analyzed 173 consecutive patients who were treated for emergent stroke with alteplase between 2006 and 2013 at the emergency department of Staten Island University Hospital.
Of the 173 patients studied, 27 experienced intracerebral bleeds. Further, 11 of the patients who experienced intracerebral bleeds died.
Buxton claims that her study was able to offer a more complete overview of the risk because the study patient selection was not as strict as typically seen in clinical studies.
Side Effects of Altplase
The following adverse events have been observed in patients taking alteplase:
- Pulmonary embolism
- Heart attack
- Coma
- Hypertension
- Brain edema
- Cerebral infarction
- Hemorrhage
- Organ Failure
- Death

Suddenly it changed. Conversations ceased as all eyes were directed toward a young child—a very LOUD young child, who was protesting with pitiful sobs as she watched her mother leave the table and go into another room.
Listening to the toddler express her dissatisfaction, I had my usual "professional" response. I tried to analyze the thoughts and feelings she was undoubtedly experiencing: "Mommy isn't with me" (feeling of loss); "Is she coming back?" (feeling of doubt); "I need my mommy now!" (feeling of fear).
Then something happened to change the whole scenario. The little girl's father stretched his hand across the table and took her hand in his. The child wrapped her fingers around his thumb, and he gently rubbed the back of her small hand. As he continued to soothe her, the sobbing turned to whimpering and soon died away.
No words were needed—just a touch from the father's hand.
When the child's tears subsided mine began to flow. I felt as though God had allowed me to witness this tender moment as a natural demonstration of a supernatural reality: When God's children are hurting, all they really need is a touch from their Father's hand.
As a Christian psychologist, I frequently examine human behavior. In my personal practice, as well as in my public observation, I have noticed a saddening trend—a lack of physical expressions of love between family members, particularly during times of stress. Just when a person needs expressions of love, those who can meet the need abandon him or her.
One example of such behavior occurs when parents distance themselves from a child as a form of punishment for the child's acting up. "Get away from me" or "Stay away from me until you can act right" are commonly heard phrases.
This type of behavior is often displayed in interaction between husbands and wives. When disagreements occur, some spouses attempt to manipulate their mates by withdrawing physical attention.
Ironically, medical studies continue to show the importance of human touch in determining a person's health and wellbeing. It is a well-documented fact, for example, that newborn babies who receive little or no physical affection do not progress physically. The medical terminology used to describe the condition of these infants is "failure to thrive." The babies fail to grow and eventually, if they do not receive life-giving touch, they die. If the babies are put in an environment where they are held, cuddled, rocked and given the proper physical attention, on the other hand, their bodies begin to respond and grow.
It is the same with all of us. We need that life-giving touch—of love, comfort, of care and concern—to survive and grow. But we can't always depend on other people to give it to us. We must reach out for the touch of the Father's hand.
As God's children, we are never alone. We have a heavenly Father who knows our need to be comforted. It was to fill this need that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us: "I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you" (I John 16:7, KJV). We have the Comforter with us. We can thrive and grow in His loving arms.
If you need a touch from God's hand, then close your eyes. Imagine that you see Jesus, stretching His arm toward you and gently taking your hand in His. Feel the soothing touch of your heavenly Father. Sense the loving presence of the Comforter. Allow your feelings of loneliness and doubt to fade away, and let God's "perfect love [cast] out all fear" (1 John 4:18).
"I will turn [your] mourning into gladness." Promises the Lord, "I will give [you] comfort and joy instead of sorrow" (Jer. 31:13, NIV). Trust Him to fulfill this promise as you reach out for His hand today.
This week open your heart to receive the Father's touch by faith and pray for opportunities to carry His presence and touch others with His love and comfort. Continue to pray for those suffering from the effects of earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and Japan's nuclear reactors. Pray for those risking their lives to bring disaster relief to these areas. Pray that God would give President Obama and his administration wisdom in dealing with Israel, the Middle East, our troops, our economy and our national security. 2 Cor. 1:3-4; I Tim. 2:1-4

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Whether Tennessee plays before or on New Year's Day could come down to the result of Saturday's game against Kentucky.
Or maybe not.
The Volunteers (7-4, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) could still end up playing New Year's Eve in Atlanta at the Peach Bowl either way.
Of the six bowls with SEC tie-ins, the only other most likely options appear to be the Cotton Bowl or Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 or the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30.
Tennessee has played in seven straight bowl games on or after Jan. 1 since the 1995 Gator Bowl, a 45-23 win over Virginia Tech.
Tennessee athletic director Doug Dickey said he doesn't necessarily prefer before or after New Year's.
"I don't know if there's great magic in that," he said. "If we're playing in the Peach Bowl instead of the Outback Bowl, I'm not sure one day is going to upset the history of the University of Tennessee."
Coach Phillip Fulmer and most of the players aren't worrying about how they'll ring in the new year. They are concerned about beating the Wildcats (7-4, 3-4), who can't go to a bowl because of NCAA sanctions.
"We need to worry only about Kentucky. Everything else will take care of itself if we do," Fulmer said. "However, I am glad we are bowl eligible."
Tennessee could find out as early as next week if it's going to Atlanta, Peach Bowl president Gary Stokan said.
The Peach matches the third selection from the Atlantic Coast Conference, likely Virginia or Maryland, and the fifth pick from the SEC.
Stokan and his collegues will meet Tuesday, most likely choosing between Tennessee, Arkansas and Auburn with the Arkansas-LSU game Friday weighing heavily on that decision.
Stokan said Tennessee would be a logical choice because Atlanta is three hours from Knoxville, and the Vols have a large alumni base there.
"When you talk about TV ratings, people will tune to watch a Tennessee football game no matter where they are in the country. That means a lot," Stokan said. "From a travel and ticket standpoint, UT will do very, very well."
The Peach can't decide until the Capital One Bowl, formerly the Citrus, makes its decision. That could be as early as next week or Dec. 8, a day after the SEC title game.
Georgia has already secured a trip to the championship and will play either Arkansas or LSU. The winner goes to a Bowl Championship Series bowl.
Capital One gets the No. 2 SEC team, which would likely be Florida or the winner of the Arkansas-LSU game if Georgia beats Georgia Tech on Saturday.
A Georgia loss would probably send them to the Capital One, Stokan said.
The Cotton gets next dibs, followed by the Outback. The Peach choses what it sees as the fifth-best SEC team. Then it's the Music City Bowl and Independence Bowl with the final picks.
Aside from the dates, the biggest difference in the bowls is money. Last year, Tennessee got $4.25 million playing in the Citrus Bowl.
The Outback paid $2.2 million a team and the Cotton $2 million.
The Peach's payout was $1.8 million, followed by the Independence at $1 million and the Music City with $750,000.
The Peach Bowl has been very interested in Tennessee, scouting most of its home games this season. Representatives from the Peach and Capital One will be at the Kentucky game. The Outback requested credentials but canceled this week.
Maryland (9-3), which missed a chance to share the ACC title by losing to Virginia last week, is angling for a Peach Bowl bid since the Gator Bowl picked North Carolina State (10-3).
Dickey said he isn't going to lobby the bowl committees.
"We have never done any guarantees outside what the conference arrangements are," he said. "We just have an arrangement for a pecking order by the bowls. The money is such that we've all agreed that that's OK. However that comes out is the way it comes out."

I realize that nothing has been set in stone, but some fans are already angst ridden over the prospect of the Colts resting their starters next week. We've long held that this is the only smart thing to do, but some idiots like to exercise a very selective memory to cherry pick situations where it didn't work out. Let's review the last 10 years of Colts playoff history to see how resting players vs not resting players has worked out.
1999: Colts don't rest players versus Buffalo.
Result: Cornelius Bennett gets hurt. Eddie George rips off the longest run of his life, and the Colts lose.
Verdict: Should have rested. Hurt players make it tough to win.
2000: Colts can't rest and sneak into the playoffs
Result: The defense is exhausted in the fourth quarter and blows a big lead, ultimately losing in OT. Colts lose.
Verdict: Rest would have been nice. Maybe the D holds up late.
2002: Colts can't rest and sneak into the playoffs
Result: The defense is blown off the field in the first quarter and the Colts lose
Verdict: Rest probably wouldn't have mattered. The D just stank.
2003: Colts can't rest and win the South at the 4th quarter gun in the last game
Result: Manning goes nuts and the Colts go to the AFC Championship
Verdict: Rest haters will claim the O kept it's rhythm.
2004: Colts rest the last week in Denver and set up a rematch in Indy
Result: The Colts annihilate Denver.
Verdict: Rest wins. By not showing Denver anything, they were lulled to sleep.
2005: Colts rest the last three weeks
Result: Pittsburgh defensive scheme wreaks havoc on the O line. Colts lose.
Verdict: This is the game the rest haters love to cherry pick. I'd say the rest factor wasn't nearly as important as the tragedy of Dungy's son was. I'd also say that if Nick Harper's wife doesn't stab him in the leg the night before, Indy probably wins this game anyway.
2006: Colts have to play to the wire in week 17.
Result: Indy's D gels, and the Colts win 4 in a row.
Verdict: Rest haters are happy. No rest, and the Colts win it all. Oddly enough, the Colts offense struggles in the first two games despite the fact they should have been 'in rhythm'.
2007: Colts rest vs Titans in week 17.
Result: Colts dominate the first quarter, but the defense collapses in the second half due to a lack of pressure.
Verdict: Rest haters are morons. The Colts came out hot, scoring on their first drive, and picking off Rivers. Indy was driving for a 14 point lead when Harrison's fumble altered the game. The Colts didn't come out flat or not ready to play. They didn't have anyone to rush the passer with a banged up Mathis and lost because of it.
Final Score:
Rest works: 1 (2004)
Rest fails: 1 (2005)
No rest works: 2 (2003, 2006)
No rest fails: 2 (1999, 2000)
Probably didn't matter: 2 (2002, 2007)
There are lots of reasons teams win or lose playoff games. Injuries, matchups, luck, strategy, and most often: HAVING THE BETTER TEAM. Resting players or not resting players is at best a wash.
Honestly, I think resting is the better strategy in most circumstances. I don't think the 2005 or 2007 games had anything do with rest or rust or rhythm or any other R word. So the next time someone you know freaks out over resting players, remind them of 1999 and 2000 or of 2004.
Links: Here are bodoglife.com's MVP odds:
Who will be the 2008 Regular Season NFL MVP?
Adrian Peterson (MIN) 3/2
Peyton Manning (IND) 2/1
Ben Roethlisberger (PIT) 5/1
Tony Romo (DAL) 10/1
James Harrison (PIT) 10/1
Drew Brees (NO) 12/1
Kurt Warner (ARI) 12/1
Matt Cassel (NE) 20/1
DeAngelo Williams (CAR) 20/1
Kerry Collins (TEN) 20/1
DeMarcus Ware (DAL) 25/1
Matt Ryan (ATL) 25/1
Demond Sanders: Big Ben is way too high on this list. I know people fall in love with him every time he wins a big game, but he is not the MVP of his own team. Also, I've done a lot of thinking and I'd be shocked if Manning and the offense didn't play the first half of the Titans game. They won't play the entire game, but because of the Thursday night game they would be off for 2.5 weeks. That's probably too much rest for an offense.
Mort has an MVP vote. He's voting for Manning.

Latest polling: props 30 and 37 barely hanging on with ~48% Yes
I went to ballotpedia and looked up latest polling data for proposition 30 (http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_30,_Sales_and_Income_Tax_Increase_%282012%29) and proposition 37 (http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_37,_Mandatory_Labeling_of_Genetically_Engineered_Food_%282012%29). The latest polls find both with around 48% support as of now. For p37, ~40% no and 12% undecided. P30: ~44% no, ~8% undecided.
Looking at previous polling, the failed prop. 19 had 49% No in the final pre election poll (http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_19,_the_Marijuana_Legalization_Initiative_%282010%29). More recently, the tobacco tax Proposition 29 (http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_29,_Tobacco_Tax_for_Cancer_Research_Act_%28June_2012%29) had 50% support in the last poll; by a very narrow margin it failed at the ballot box. I think the best way to predict whether a proposition will definitely pass is if its last pre election poll has over 50% yes support, see the open primary proposition 14 from 2010 as example, it had 52% yes in its latest poll and ultimately passed (http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_14,_Top_Two_Primaries_Act_%28June_2010%29).
My personal thoughts on prop 30: I don't want education to be cut, but where's the evidence that the funding will be absolutely earmarked for education rather than dumped in the general fund? In fact the nonpartisan legislative analyst office reports: "The 2012-13 budget plan (1) assumes that voters approve this measure and (2) spends the resulting revenues on various state programs. A large share of the revenues generated by this measure is spent on schools and community colleges." The "various state programs" part is probably what turns off many California voters, not just the right wing tea party types but also independents, moderates, and even some Democrats as well! California politics is so frustrating sometimes.

7. I've been phone banking a bit for Prop 37
and of the people that I have spoken with, most are voting yes. I did spend over 10 minutes talking with a voter about each and every argument the big businesses have put up against it. She claims that I convinced her to vote yes....but who knows.... I'll continue trying, it is so important and should have been done 25 years ago.

2. Prop 38
Just got home from a PTA meeting with a presentation about Prop 38 which California PTA supports. The presenter, a local teacher, stated those funds go directly to the schools and only 1% can be used for administrative costs at the district level. Parents and the school community decide how the funds will be spent. Also, part of the money will be used for the first few years to pay off the school bonds so actual school allocation increases as the years go on. My children are almost out of school but if neither of these measures pass we will be funding education at the lowest per pupil rate in the nation. So much has already been cut...the trigger cuts would be catastrophic.

6. Problem with Prop 38 is that it is rigid and will not allow the governor and legislature the freedom
to respond to problems in our society other than education with the money it raises. It does not, for example, provide relief on college tuition in our state schools -- and that is undeniably a very serious problem.
Also, Prop. 38 as opposed to Prop. 30 imposes taxes on people earning as little as $7,500 per year.
The California Democratic Party has endorsed Prop. 30.
In my opinion, Prop. 38 is the rogue effort of a few very wealthy people to protect the very rich from having to bear an appropriate share of the burden for funding the state.
I support our Democratic governor and Prop. 30.
According to the California Democratic Party website,
Proposition 38
Increases tax rates for Californians earning as little as $7,316 per year
Raises taxes on middle class families at almost the same rate as millionaires
Forces a $6 billion cut to education this year
Cuts the school year short for K-12 Students

3. The RW has POURED money into the no on 30 campaign, and Monsanto has done the same with 37.
The ads were horribly misleading. Suggesting the money from 30 would not reach schools and that 37 was full of holes and will cost jobs. Of course, just the opposite is true. But I've only heard a few pro-37 ads, and Brown's pro-30 ads are drowned out by the anti-30 ads. This is CA politics at its worst, and Citizens United has put it on steroids.

4. A common RW talking point against 30 is a quote from the state school boards assoc.
Anti-30 ads I've seen on TV and in mailers quote the CSBA: "...the governor's initiative does not provide new funding for schools."
The reality: the CSBA did endorse BOTH P30 and P38. The full context:
CSBA is the only statewide educational association to endorse both initiatives. While each initiative presents a different funding scenario for our schools, the bottom line is that both will generate billions of dollars in much-needed revenue for public education, said Vernon M. Billy, CSBA executive director. He added, The initiatives are stop-gap measures that minimize the hemorrhaging. Ultimately, we need the Legislature to commit to sustained adequate yearly funding. According to Billy, CSBA opted for the dual endorsement because schools desperately need funding. Yet, he and the CSBA leadership want to make it clear to the public that the governors initiative does not provide new funding for schools. Instead, it bolsters the General Fund with new revenue. Under the governors plan, schools would get back some of the billions of dollars that were redirected away from them and used to shore up the states funding gap in the last budgetary cycle. The governors initiative only restores some of the funds already owed to schools, Billy said.

14. I cannot think of a proposition more important than 30
If it passes, then we are more likely to see increased taxes on the wealthy nationally. If it fails, then I suspect most elected officials will be scared to raise taxes and instead agree to cut programs.
It's one of the first states who would have tried to reverse all the Reagan era tax cuts on wealth citizens.

He has already been told this. His boss will also be cut back.

Mulberry looks to have its future sewn up (FT)

A remote woman and a fashion intellectual."

Is it wrong of me to ogle your woman naked...?
from outside or should we both get back into the bedroom under the duvee and stop being outdoor exhibitionists?
why post silly questions?
you crazy crazy guy
Opinion Poll: Don't you think it would be great to have.....?
........an outdoor shower? Barring really cold weather, I think that would be the coolest thing to have in a house - I'd shower outside all the time......
But then, I'm kinda the exhibitionist.......
I do! It's awesome, but we only use it in the summer and spring. Its really refreshing though to walk out into fresh air, not heavy steam. :)
Looking for a female model in the Midlands to pose nude for a project but can't find anyone willing, help?
I've recently got into photography as a way to stop smoking (it worked) and am now trying to break into it professionally. As a result I am doing courses online to build my knowledge and portfolio up. I require a nude shoot and ideally would prefer to shoot a female model. I want to get silhouette images mainly as well as some outdoor shots. My only probelem is finding someone who is a little bit of an exhibitionist to fulfill the leading role. Does anyone know where a good agency is or source of models???
On the first two you can look at pictures and pick the model with the look you want, then send her a note to see if you can work out a deal. For craigslist just post what you would like to do and they will respond.
You don't need an exhibitionist, just a model. Be fair, courteous and describe the project you want to do. It is not as hard to get a nude model as you think, especially for artistic work.
I'm obsessed about Casual Sex, wild behaviour and Degrading myself. Am i becoming self-destructive?
Over the past few years i fantasize and have shown exhibitionist tendencies, but i'm fed up with not getting to act out most of it. I'm a sheltered person, but i have these fantasies about having naked sex with another man/woman or group in a nightclub with people watching. I for some reason think this is the best place to do it. It turns me on, the feelings of vulnerability and of being degraded, as well as feeling like you have great confidence. I also like the idea of outdoor sex at night in quiet areas, but still a chance of somebody looking. I would love to adopt this new lifestyle, but i can't help but have this feeling of wanting to be a bad boy, not caring what anybody else thinks, and this might turn me vulnerable to drugs and alcohol. It turns me on though and i can't seem to help that. I have been interested in meeting somebody online to do these thing with me, but for most times i'm held back to do this but would like to do it next year. I just feel maybe that i have no sense of shame, and if that is a part of who i am, i feel i should embrace it. If i ever do, would i just end up in a right physical/mental state?
Sounds Exciting and accelerating,
But what will happen when you wake up a couple days later and you don't feels so good? Weeks later you still not feeling your best but you are already planing for the next wild party. Its almost time to party and you go to the doctor so you can get better so you are at full throttle for the party but the doctor has wet the spark by telling you that you have Aids. Party over no room for acceleration. I would recommend to you to respect your body and practice self control and maybe finds some other excretion that will not put at a risk.

Walked home and using GPS Test I got a lock on 16 satellites. Opened Maps, pinpointed me to within 4 meters. This is on v1.5 (w/ JB keyboard fix), clean wipe, LG1 radio, no other mods, WiFi off. Going to run Waze tonight when I'm driving to make sure GPS is straight but I'm pretty sure it's working.
Hopefully v1.6 fixes things for those of you with issues but if not, I think we need to start looking at other variables besides the ROM itself (baseband, kernel, themes, wallet, clockwork version, etc.)

Howard Kurtz began his weekly Sunday media show on CNN by apologizing to Jason Collins for his "sloppy and inexcusable" Daily Beast story that suggested the NBA player wasn't telling the whole truth when he came out as gay in a Sports Illustrated cover.
"The mistake I made was sloppy and inexcusable," Kurtz said. He read Collin's SI story "too fast and carelessly missed" that the basketball player had written about his previous engagement to a woman.
STORY: Howard Kurtz Status at CNN Unchanged
Last Wednesday, Kurtz published a Daily Beast story entitled "Jason Collins' Other Secret" that suggested that the NBA player, who came out as gay in a Sports Illustrated cover, wasn't telling the whole story because he didn't mention his prior engagement to a woman. In fact, Collins had written about it the SI essay, saying, "When I was younger I dated women. I even got engaged."
After the error was pointed out, Kurtz revised the language in the story and but stood by the premise."My first correction to that story was not as complete as it should have been," the anchor conceded on Sunday.
The Daily Beast, officially retracted the entire post on Thursday. And editor in chief Tina Brown subsequently issued a statement saying that "The Daily Beast and Howard Kurtz have parted company."
On Reliable Sources, Kurtz was interviewed by Politico's Dylan Byers and NPR's David Folkenflik about what led to his Newsweek/Daily Beast exit.
Kurtz characterized the firing as an "amicable divorce" whose timing did not necessarily have to do with the Collins story. "This was already in the works, we were moving in different directions after the closing" of Newsweek's print edition, he said.
Despite parting ways with the Beast, Kurtz will continue to host CNN's Reliable Sources after this week. "There has been no status change with Howard Kurtz; he remains the host of Reliable Sources," read a statement Friday from the network.

B12 and MePosted by bladerunner at 19:30, 06 Apr 2009
I haven't felt good for some time now. And come to find out its B12! Muscle pain and fatigue. Real pain, very low energy, brain fog(that was starting to get scary). Wow what a difference a vitamin makes. For about 3 days after my first shot, I felt like a teenager again! Hope I can convince my Doc to give me more then once a month, twice a week would be great.
Heavy ThingsPosted by bladerunner at 06:17, 15 Feb 2009
This isn't going to work. The stimulus package. The train has already crashed. Buying everyone another boarding pass is not going to help. And that's how I feel. So what does that mean to me, and my husband? There may be rioting this summer, on a scale never seen before. Once it starts, it may not quit till the Republic of The United States of America no longer looks anything like it did on February 14th of 2009. My life will be changed in a way I will not like, in a way I may not foresee. So I don't know if I'm really for Grapes of Wrath II.
I'm comfortable, I'm eating Godiva Chocolate. It was a Valentines gift from my husband. The house is warm, and the bills are paid. We both are employed. But we both feel the touch of death, as it is whispered about, in the collective, on the street. We hear it, my husband and I talk about it at night. We feel safe together, lucky to love each other so much. I don't think we'll really fear it too much. I just hope we keep it somewhat civil. I know I won't be the first to raise my hand against another. That's what I'm thinking about lately. Heavy things.
Being a Stoner MyselfPosted by bladerunner at 23:45, 05 Feb 2009

Drink just about killed me, and MJ got me off about 10 different prescription pills a day, that may soon have killed me. And frankly its fun to smoke. IT IS FUN! And I hope for the day when the greatest harm it causes no longer involves being caught with it! But is getting the munchies.
But I saw this Blog Rant and had to pass it around...

But I wish to remind everyone out in the US to check out who is running for your state, local, and house of reps seats. These are just as important as the Presidental race, if not more so. Here's the story link. So how does your State "count" votes, and what can you do? Also Paypal credit in though GE, which owns NBC, which blocked Kucinich from the debates in Nevada!

Update On General Strike, the Red, White and Blue Flu!Posted by bladerunner at 23:01, 12 Aug 2007
A General Strike has been called for September 11th, Patriot's Day. Don't work, don't go to school, don't buy anything. We can take our power back. The 2008 elections are to far away. And will all those new unconstitutional laws just disappear by themselves? Are the democrats any different, really? Don't delude yourself anymore. Wake up from your American Dream! The word is spreading. Just Google General Strike 911, National Strike 911. Or a variation of that, several pages of hits now. Let people know as your posting. And we, together can make it happen!
and a 100,000 more!

National Strike! Red, White and Blue Flu.Posted by bladerunner at 05:36, 28 Jul 2007
September 10th and 11th. Red, White and Blue Flu, National Strike. Call in sick, take a vacation day. Maybe the car won't start? And nobody buy gas. Fill-up your car before hand, so you don't have too for those 2 days. Or take public transportation. The 10th and 11th of September. 2 days of slow downs and work stoppages. And no one buys gas! Its completely passive. We all seem to blog, and send messages to other people. So lets pass the note around the room.(But not at work) See what we can start. Sure beats signing another petition. Or calling your congressperson, begging them to do something. Here's our chance as American's to do something, by doing nothing!
And those of you around the world who would like to support this effort please don't buy any gas those 2 days!
P.S. Some "Progressive" site, like CommonDreams have started to remove posts for A National Strike. Seems their not that progressive! Portland Indy Media has a good set up. They even have a poster you can down load. Plus other info.
Thank You and spread the word!
Human Activity and Global WarmingPosted by bladerunner at 23:29, 12 Jul 2007
Hi, back from 3 weeks in Alaska. It is vast and beautiful and much more then any travel show can give it credit. I have become fasinated by Capt. James Cook while up there and am reading up my on his voyages. Hopefully I will be able to put together a slide show of our travel very soon. We went from Anchorage, Seward, Denali, Fairbanks, through the Yukon Territory of Canada, to Skagway where we cruised on the Alaskan Marine Highway to Juneau, Sitka, and Ketichacan. We were on planes, trains, cars, and boats of every shape and size. I would encourage everyone to avoid the large cruise ships. All they do is polish you butt and make it bigger. Nor in many cases do they truly add much to the local economy. Thats from talking to and listening to locals.
The other thing I wish to mention is that for the most part. The natives and locals believe that our earth is changing. They have seen how the influx of people has changed their land, from the interior to the coast. Also in the last 10 years many areas have had much different weather. Some of which they can immediantely pinpoint as increased wind and heat, because of logging in the interior. More snow because of water temp. increase, and rising bacteria in coastal waters because of temp. increases again.
I see in reading resent posting many people are resistant and suspicious to the many signs around us. But our planet is special, because it is the only one we have. Our atmosphere is very thin, like varnish, laquered to the globe. Many of the chemical and pollutants we use will not break down in our life time or that of our children's, children. the oceans are changing, with increases in temp. and changes in salinity and acidity. These changes are happening very fast, in the scale of time, in our lifetime. One of the reasons Alaska still has salmon is that is has no Dams. And the very first legislation passed and signed into law when Alaska became a state was banning certain types of fishing that hurt salmon runs.
Yes our planet is in consent change. What we see now is only a moment in the history of this planet and the history of people. But we don't have to act in ignorance and instinct. We can change, we can live and nurture the humane race without using up the earth's resources. After seeing so much life and beauty. I wish to listen to it, and do what is tells me is right for it.
If you believe Global Warming is a hoax or religion, fine. But look at where you live and leave it better then you found it. I believe anything else is selfish and wrong. That is what I have seen and that is what I believe.

Warren County Local History by Dallas Bogan
|Dallas Bogan on 17 August 2004
|original article by Dallas Bogan
|Return to Index to see a list of other articles by Dallas Bogan
"He was a man of fine presence, tall, erect and commanding, and in his
demeanor always affable while maintaining the dignity and courtliness of a gentleman
of the old school."
This is the personal description given by Josiah Morrow in his article written about Colonel John Hopkins in The Western Star. Col. Hopkins was one of the influential leaders of the pioneers, which settled in Warren County in the early part of the nineteenth century.
John Hopkins was born November 5, 1786, in Rockbridge County, Va., near Timber Ridge meeting house six or seven miles northeast of Lexington.
In the fall of 1795, John moved with his parents, James and Margaret Hopkins, along with his brother James, to Georgetown, Ky. Their residence in Kentucky extended to nine years. Here his mother died. The family moved to Warren County, Ohio, about 1804, John being approximately eighteen at the time. John's father died in 1813.
Apparently stressing the education factor, John received a much superior education in Virginia and Kentucky than most students. He became a reputable land surveyor and conveyancer.
John married Susanna Branstator and made his home on "The Ridge" located about two miles south of Lebanon. This union conceived nine children, Huston being the oldest.
His father apparently inspired John's interest in the militia. He trained and served under his father and advanced as a non-commissioned officer in a volunteer company and afterward was elected captain.
Congress, before the declaration of the war against England, gave authorization to the President to garner special companies of spies or mounted rangers for the protection of the new frontier. John was one of the first to receive this assignment. President Madison commissioned him second lieutenant of rangers.
The knowledge of this appointment was a complete surprise to him, for he had made no application. His recommendation apparently stemmed from Governor Jeremiah Morrow's influence, then the sole governmental representative from Ohio. The Governor had high praise for Lieutenant Hopkins writing: "The friendship and esteem of such a man was inestimable, and after becoming acquainted with him I ever admired him, believing him the best, or among the best men I ever knew."
Lieutenant Hopkins' first assignment was a march with Captain William Perry's company. The trek consisted of a rendezvous at Dayton and on to old Fort Loramie, located north of Piqua on General Wayne's old trail.
The company was next ordered to Old Vincennes, and while in Indiana and Illinois the one-year's service was up.
An authorization by Col. William Russell summoned Lieutenant Hopkins back to Ohio with directions to fill up a new company by enlistment. The order fulfilled, he again marched to Fort Loramie. Remaining a short time, until September 28, 1813, the company was dissolved.
A commission to First Lieutenant found him marching to Urbana to join General McArthur, but, arriving too late, the company was disbanded.
After the War of 1812 he received his discharge, having served a little over three years.
In his service as a mounted ranger, he reached a location opposite St. Louis. Leaving his horse behind, he was ferried over the Mississippi in an Indian canoe. (East St. Louis at that time was simply a trading post.)
Proceeding east to Peoria, a decisive battle with the Indians was fought with the latter being completely routed and their winter provisions destroyed.
With the war ended, he was elected Major of a battalion of the militia and afterward Colonel. Resigning this commission, he was elected sheriff of Warren County, but retained his title of Colonel until his death.
He was elected to the office of Justice of the Peace in 1817, serving for four years. His next venture was his election twice to sheriff, the year being 1821. In this capacity he moved to Lebanon from "The Ridge."
Governor Morrow appointed Sheriff Hopkins his "aid-de-camp" in preparation for the visit of LaFayette to Ohio. The Colonel accepted an invitation to ride to Cincinnati as an escort, but the sheriff's duties in court prevented an acceptance.
After his sheriff's tenure, he moved to Hopkinsville, a village already settled by many Hopkins families. The mercantile business took his time until 1839 when he turned his store over to his son.
An election as a representative in the legislature was in the year 1826, with his re-election the following year. About 1836 he was elected County Commissioner and served six years. In 1846 he was selected State Senator and served in that capacity for two terms.
He was a confirmed Whig in politics, but after the dissolution of the party, he became chairman of the Warren delegation in the Republican convention in 1858, which nominated Tom Corwin for congress.
With his retirement from the State Senate, Col. Hopkins resigned to his farm, which adjoined Hopkinsville. He spent the next twenty-five years as surveyor and conveyancer. He served as postmaster at Hopkinsville for many years.
Having achieved much in life, Colonel John Hopkins died near Hopkinsville March 12, 1875, in his 89th year.
