Is this the year for a vital LGBT civil rights movement?
Silver cites a CBS poll showing that 64 percent of voters between 18 and 45 support some sort of protected status for same-sex couples, compared to only 45 percent of those over 65.
"Support for gay marriage, however, is strongly generational .... Civil unions have already achieved the support of an outright majority of Americans, and as those older voters are replaced by younger ones, the smart money is that gay marriage will reach majority status too at some point in the 2010s."
According to Silver's calculations, a majority of Pennsylvanians will warm up to same-sex marriage by 2012.
State legislators should remember that, as well as the fact that according to a 2007 Equality Advocates poll, 71 percent of the state already support the pending antidiscrimination legislation, House Bill 300. Maybe they just haven't heard us yet.

Every month Labor 411 features a new union-made prize and we encourage you to spread the word among your friends. By promoting the power of making ethical purchasing decisions, we can keep the conversation growing about how easy it is to help protect the backbone of this country every time you make the choice to spend your hard-earned money on union products or services.
"Thank you for picking me as the Union made Contest winner! I am proud to say they are Union Made! I am donating some of the wonderful gifts to a coworker who is having a difficult time right now so she can have something under the tree for her 3 Children! I'm passing my good fortune on!" - Allison Dame Ryan
"Buying union made products supports the United States of America. If we cut down on purchasing products that are outsourced it would mean more jobs for American workers." - Chris Wagner
"I definitely believe a union-made product is of a higher quality. Any time you have individuals who feel like they have control over their working life and are proud of what they do, what they do has become more than just a job, it's a career, then you're going to get a better product and you're going to get the satisfaction of knowing what effect your consumer choices are having. I also think that it's the simplest way we can show solidarity and support to each other right now; and that's just to buy, proudly buy, union and let companies know that's why we're buying." -Taylor Harlesss
"Even though I was buying things that are union made, I didn't realize that I was doing that, and so Labor 411 shows us how important it is to be aware of these things. When we buy things that are made by union members, we help to support families of the union members and the union themselves keep growing." -Nelson Contreras
"I like the way Labor 411 goes right to the heart of the matter: be union, buy union, keep the unions. Buying union products supports union jobs, households, benefits, retirements, everything!" -Steven L Dawes
"This is amazing. Thank you for everything you guys do and I can't wait to go and get some new union made boots." -Jed Smith
"Labor 411 is a welcome reminder; every day we get bombarded with advertisements for so many things and then I see the Labor 411 e-news and it's like, 'Yeah, this is what's really important.' I especially love the holiday specific Union-made product lists." - Susan Cabral-Ebert
"I like Labor 411's recommendations and themed lists of Union-made products because they really stick in your mind that way. Unions are being threatened now more than ever, so it's important to support the companies and the workers that are making those products." -Madeline Bryant

A Buford woman recently found herself the target of an accused police impersonator.
According to Gwinnett County Police, David Robert Lewallen, of 1720 Katrina Jo Ann Circle in Dacula, concocted an elaborate scheme to exact revenge against a medical clinic employee, who he blamed for interfering with his attempt to get a prescription refilled.
On Sept. 10, police responded to a suspicious person call at a Buford business. The caller told police a male identifying himself as a police officer presented a badge and began asking questions about the clinic employee. The male, later identified as Lewallen, was reportedly wearing a black t-shirt with "POLICE" on it and was driving an older model Ford Mustang. The caller said he found a flyer with the clinic employee's photo and name printed on it when he arrived at work that morning. The flyer had the words "Have you seen this person?" printed above the clinic employee's photo and listed some "alleged charges" against her. Another worker in the same business complex had also found a flyer with the clinic employee's name and photo.
The following day, the clinic employee spoke with police. After an officer described the suspect to her, the employee indicated she knew who it might be and showed the investigating officer a copy of Lewallen's driver's license.
According to the clinic employee, Lewallen was a patient at the clinic and had been prescribed medication during an Aug. 21 visit. Lewallen reportedly attempted to fill the prescription in South Carolina. Because the prescription had been issued in another state, the South Carolina pharmacist became suspicious and refused to fill it. Lewallen allegedly called and left several messages at the clinic in which he accused clinic employees of convincing the pharmacy not to fill his prescriptions.
On Aug. 24, Lewallen reportedly returned to the clinic and demanded his patient records. During that visit, an allegedly angry Lewallen confronted the clinic employee.
"Mr. Lewallen continued to become more irate and used many 'vulgar profanities,' then said 'You will be sorry.' [The clinic employee] told Mr. Lewallen to leave the office. Mr. Lewallen got in his Ford Mustang and drove aggressively out of the parking lot," the officer wrote in the report.
Police used a photo lineup to identify Lewallen as the police impersonator.
According to WSBTV, Lewallen denied impersonating a police officer and said he was there trying to warn people about the woman who works at the clinic.
Lewallen was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail on Oct. 14 and released several hours later on a $2,950 bond.

For Immediate Release
Police Investigating Death of Michael Hawkins
The Springfield Police Department is investigating the death of a suspect who was arrested Sunday morning just before 10:00 a.m. for burglary. Michael D. Hawkins, 39, of Springfield was arrested at the Eagles Lodge Motel, 2611 N. Glenstone, after police were called there in reference to a person hiding in a storage room and refusing to come out.
After police arrived they found Hawkins hiding in a crawl space just above the storage room. Police attempted to talk Hawkins down, but he refused to leave the crawl space. Officers entered the crawl space, along with a police service dog. The dog engaged the suspect in the crawl space. During the engagement the dog broke through the ceiling and fell on to the balcony. The suspect was able to hold on to a rafter and climb back into the crawl space.
After Hawkins got back into the crawl space officers located him, and after he refused to obey several police commands to surrender, a Taser was deployed. Hawkins then was taken into custody.
Once in custody police had Hawkins transported by ambulance to the hospital for the dog bite that he received on his upper thigh. After arriving at the hospital Hawkins died.
An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death.

UCLA has six days to get better.
A whole lot better.
The atmosphere was more than different in the Rose Bowl on Saturday. It was a complete role reversal.
The giddiness that followed a victory over USC a week earlier was replaced by long faces. Players piled into the student section after beating the Trojans. This time they trudged off the field with hangdog looks.

The Reed girls basketball team lost Gabby Williams and a win streak on Saturday and could be without Williams for much longer.
Williams landed awkwardly 30 seconds into the Raiders' 55-43 loss at Reno High. She pounded the floor under the basket, writhing in pain. She did not return and, after the game, said she twisted her knee when she landed. Dr. Jim Pappas examined Williams, the two-time reigning RGJ All-North player of the year and the region's most sought-after recruit, regardless of sport, late the fourth quarter in a corner of the gym. "He said there's probably a tear," said Williams' father, Matt. The family will schedule an MRI for Monday to determine the full extent of the injury. If Williams suffered a ligament tear of any kind, with such a promising career ahead of her, she likely is done for the year, which would deliver a huge blow to Reed's state championship defense. "We won't need her until the championship game of the playoffs," Reed coach Sara Ramirez said. "I know this team can beat everyone else out there." Williams, a junior guard, averaged 30 points per game before Saturday. She is a top recruit in both basketball and track. Coaches from Arizona State, Kentucky and Utah were on hand Saturday. Recruiters from UConn and Fresno State were in town earlier this week. Williams, as a 15-year-old last summer, finished fifth in the women's high jump at the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Ore. The loss for Reed snapped the Raiders' win streak against Northern opponents that dated back to the 2009-10 season.

By Victor Reklaitis and Sue Chang, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Facebook Inc. is likely to be in the spotlight on Thursday after the social-media company reported quarterly results that significantly exceeded expectations.
Shares of Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed/quotes/nls/fb FB -0.03% surged about 23% in premarket trading. After Wednesday's closing bell, the company said it swung to a profit of $333 million, or 13 cents a share, in the second quarter, recovering from a loss of $157 million, or 8 cents a share, in the year-earlier period.
Revenue rose to $1.81 billion from $1.12 billion, and adjusted profit was 19 cents a share. Analysts had forecast a profit of 14 cents a share, on revenue of $1.62 billion, according to a FactSet survey.
Shares of Qualcomm Inc. /quotes/zigman/77257/delayed/quotes/nls/qcom QCOM -0.45% also got a strong boost in premarket action, gaining 4%. The company late Wednesday reported its third-quarter profit rose to $1.58 billion, or 90 cents a share, from $1.2 billion, or 69 cents a share, a year ago.
Adjusted earnings came in at $1.03 a share. Analysts had estimated adjusted earnings of 91 cents a share.
GM /quotes/zigman/1466682/delayed/quotes/nls/gm GM -0.37% was up 2% in premarket trade after the auto maker reported a drop in second-quarter profit, but beat expectations. It saw strength in North America and narrower losses in Europe.
Dow component 3M /quotes/zigman/302497/delayed/quotes/nls/mmm MMM -0.23% dipped 1% in premarket action after the industrial conglomerate reported profit that slightly topped forecasts and revenue that slightly missed estimates. It previously had warned of second-quarter weakness.
After the market's close, Amazon.com /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed/quotes/nls/amzn AMZN -1.73% is forecast to post second-quarter earnings of 5 cents a share.
The Next 24: Internet stocks jump
Facebook, TripAdvisor and Angie's List reported earnings after Wednesday's closing bell.
"We expect Amazon to report [second-quarter] results in line with guidance. Gross margins have been improving recently. We expect this trend to continue, as the company experienced higher revenue growth from its higher-margin revenue product categories," Edward Williams at BMO Capital Markets said in a report.
Also after the bell, Starbucks /quotes/zigman/20720/delayed/quotes/nls/sbux SBUX -0.46% is seen likely to report fiscal-third-quarter earnings of 53 cents a share.

PulteGroup Inc. /quotes/zigman/129784/delayed/quotes/nls/phm PHM -1.49% stumbled 6% in premarket trade as the home builder's earnings missed expectations, with higher costs masking stronger closings and selling prices.
D.R. Horton Inc. /quotes/zigman/224125/delayed/quotes/nls/dhi DHI -1.99% slid 4% in premarket action as its earnings matched forecasts, but revenue missed estimates.
Hershey Co. /quotes/zigman/229230/delayed/quotes/nls/hsy HSY -0.97% was unchanged in premarket action after its second-quarter adjusted earnings beat forecasts.
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. /quotes/zigman/220498/delayed/quotes/nls/bmy BMY +0.04% was also little changed after the pharmaceutical company reported a decline in earnings that matched forecasts. It also cut its 2013 profit outlook.
Shares of Colgate-Palmolive Co. /quotes/zigman/222734/delayed/quotes/nls/cl CL -0.36% were inactive premarket after the consumer-products maker's adjusted earnings matched expectations.
Shares of Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. /quotes/zigman/526383/delayed/quotes/nls/mjn MJN +1.06% also were inactive premarket after the maker of nutritional products posted adjusted earnings that met forecasts.

The Valdosta Daily Times
-- —
MaryAnn and Jeff Godwin have been working together for going on 30 years. It's easy for them to keep track of it because that's how long they've been married to each other.
It was 1984 when they got married and Jeff started working for MaryAnn's father, Horace Stephenson, Sr. Stephenson and his wife, LaVerne, had been running Horace Stephenson Jewelry for years. Mary-Ann had grown up around it and was already designing jewelry pieces. For Jeff, he threw himself into it, learning repair and design, even making custom pieces.
MaryAnn still has the first piece he made, a string of small pearls that lead to the centerpiece of a small diamond, with a larger jewel hanging down.
After a couple of years, Jeff and MaryAnn opened up their own place at the old Brookwood Plaza: MJ Jewelers.
They spent over a decade there, working together every day, building up a reputation, honing their repair and design work.
"There's not much in jewelry repair we can't do," said Jeff.
In the late '90s, as competition in the local jewelry business started to become more fierce, Jeff looked around and realized no one in the area specialized in Harley-Davidson motorcycle repairs.
"When he told me that he wanted to do it, I thought he had lost his mind," laughed MaryAnn. "But we're so close, I trusted him."
In 2000, Jeff went to Harley School in Orlando, Fla., opening up his shop, American V-Twin, in Valdosta in 2002. And Mary-Ann was right there with him.
They found themselves in reversed roles, with Mary-Ann having to learn everything from scratch just as Jeff had done years ago. She threw herself into it as well and now, she's as familiar with everything as Jeff.
They never really gave up on jewelry work completely. Some of their old customers still come into American V-Twin, dropping off jewelry for repairs. They keep up a fair share of custom work, designing and creating rings, necklaces, and other pieces of jewelry.
"I like repair work," said Jeff. "I like to see somebody smile as they walk out the door."
After nearly three decades of working together, you might think they'd be ready for a change, but nothing could be further from the truth.
"I wouldn't want to work with anyone else but her," said Jeff. "We don't want to be apart."
"He's my soul-mate," said MaryAnn. "You can work through most things if you love the person you're with...We try not to take each other too seriously, and if we have a problem, we don't let it brood. We talk it out."
"Oh, if I get on her nerves, she'll tell me," laughs Jeff. "Communication is the biggest thing. We love each other so much, we can tell each other what we're thinking and we don't take it the wrong way...And we don't take each other for granted."
Their relationship is also strengthened by their faith. Before they open up the shop every morning, they pray together. When they find themselves stuck on a repair job, they do the same.
Now, they're ready to come full circle, reopening their jewelry business in the back of American
"I feel like God's leading us down that path," said Jeff. "People have been coming in out of the blue, asking me to repair jewelry, saying they miss me. We're ready to go full-blast with it."
It's almost like nothing's changed and, in a lot of ways, things haven't. They work together every day, both in work and in marriage, praying together, working through whatever comes up.
"We are blessed," said MaryAnn. "God has watched over us."
MaryAnn and Jeff started out working together, but for Clinton and Jeana Beeland, who have been working together for 17 years at CJB Industries, it was a gradual process.
Clinton had been working for Griffin when he decided to try getting into business for himself. The couple had a three-year old daughter and a newborn son at the time and Clinton's job had him on the road for two weeks out of every month. When that started to shift into him being on the road four weeks out of every month, Clinton started looking for a change.
"We had the opportunity to look into doing something different and we took it," said Clinton.
Jeana, who was working in management at the local Levi-Strauss factory, decided to stay on there while Clinton tried something new. But this was in 1997, when Levi-Strauss was in the process of moving their manufacturing overseas. Jeana could see the writing on the wall and in October, after CJB had been running for six months, she left Levi to come to work with her husband.
"I started off part-time," said Jeana. "It gave me time to work and also be a mom."
Gradually, as the business grew and the kids got older and started school, Jeana got more and more involved, moving into full-time in 2001. By this point, CJB had grown from six employees to 30.
Family is just as important to the Beelands as their business is and, as the kids grew, they found themselves balancing each other out. Jeana would get to work earlier while Clinton got the kids ready and took them to school. In the afternoon, Jeana would leave to pick up the kids while Clinton would work later into the
early evening.
"We both had flexibility," said Clinton. "As the business grew, it really became about communication."
In the early years they would occasionally find themselves stepping on each other's toes, but as the business grew, they each learned to divide responsibilities between themselves. It's something they recommend to any business partners, especially to partners who are married.
"We have very complementary skills and talents...You each have to agree about what the goals are and what lifestyle you're looking for."
They also had to learn to carve out a little time to not talk about work, something that can be difficult when you're both steeped in the company.
Like the Beelands, Ron and Tammy Borders are a couple who started working working together after years of working separate jobs.
It started when Tammy was working as Director for United Hospice, as well as working as a nurse. United Hospice was looking for a building to rent and Ron, a real estate agent, helped them find one.
He also found Tammy and, after a year of dating, they were wed.
Ron kept building his real estate business and Tammy stayed in nursing, eventually shifting over to teaching classes at Valdosta Tech.
She started getting into real estate when Ron was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives.
"I loved my job," said Tammy. "It never crossed my mind to do anything besides nursing...Now I can't imagine doing anything else. It's been a rewarding career."
Starting in February on 1999, Tammy took to it quickly.
"Her personality is a lot more outgoing than mine," said Ron. "I'm somewhat introverted...but she has a more engaging personality than I do. She's more of a people person."
It's something she brought over from her career in nursing, along with referring to customers as patients and to her files as charts.
"She's uniquely suited to be a nurse, a realtor or anything that involves helping people solve a problem. She gets a lot of satisfaction out of it."
"We are truly polar opposites," said Tammy. "He bases all of his decisions on logic and reasoning. Mine is more on feelings, more emotion. We balance each other out really well...I think that's the way God intended it to be."
Fittingly, Tammy works more on the residential side of the business, while Ron focuses more on the commercial and management side.
"There are days we don't see much of each other, then there are days we're together almost all day," said Ron.
While they're focused on different areas, their offices are located next to each other and they eat lunch together most days. Tammy likes getting in a little earlier, while Ron is more 9-to-5.
Both are owners of the company, along with a third partner.
"I would say she's the backbone of the business...the glue that holds the company together. The growth of the company is attributable mostly to her."
They're polar opposites in a lot of ways, but they share a lot of mutual interests. They're both avid readers and love to exercise. They both have a creative streak, with Tammy making custom jewelry and Ron making custom light fixtures.
"It keeps us together, and we both know who the boss is," smiled Ron. "That's her."
They've also managed to raise a family, juggling it along with work.
And while Tammy admits that her cell phone is rarely off, they have a standing Friday night date. They usually go to the movies, turn everything off, and just sit in the dark, together, watching a movie.
"It's pretty easy to get along if you don't have much in the way of conflict. I support her in what she does and she supports me in what I do."
"He truly is my best friend." said Tammy.
And after 15 years of working together, they have a little advice for other couples.
"Find common interests," said Ron. "Try not to be critical of each other. People are going to be who they're going to be."
Try not to be critical of each other. Communicate. Divide responsibilities. Agree about goals and the lifestyle you're trying to create. Make time for each other. Don't take each other for granted. If you have a problem, don't let it brood. Don't take each other too seriously.
It's good advice for any business partners.
Even more so if you're married.

Rahul Wadke
Mumbai , Oct. 10
THE Maharashtra Government has announced the formation of a core group of urban planners and policy experts, which will re-examine the town planning process and the extent of town planning acts in the State.
The group will re-evaluate Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, to suit the present needs. It will submit its recommendations to the Government in six months.
Mr Ramanand Tiwari, Principal Secretary, Urban Development Department, Maharashtra, told Business Line that the present town planning laws do not reflect the needs of urban areas in the State; therefore the Government has formed the group.
"The core group will look at very sensitive issues such as floor surface index and transfer and development rights. And give its recommendations to the Government, which may lead to some amendments in the laws," Mr Tiwari said.
Functions: The Urban Development Department has also issued a Government Regulation (GR) delineating the basic functions of the core group.
The group will critically examine issues like the need for decentralisation of the planning process. It will redefine the meaning of planning for urban communities, in the light of the 74th amendment of the Constitution that empowers local self-government bodies in the planning process.
The group will also examine the various hurdles in the implementation of the planning process and suggest remedial action.
The group will create an outline for the proposed `Yearly Town Planning Report'. It will also study the role of various stakeholders in the planning process and help planning institutions in the State to undertake capacity building, create training facilities and programmes for their employees.
The core group would be led by Mr A.K. Jain, Advisor, All India Institute of Local Government, Mumbai. The group will also consist of planners from various planning bodies and also independent experts.

Bortolo Mutti is delighted to have returned to Atalanta.
Mutti is Atalanta's fourth Coach of the campaign and was "moved" by his return to the club after a decade.
"It's the first time I have stepped into this training ground in more than 10 years. I'm moved and excited," said Mutti.
"During this time apart we took different paths. I above all miss the presence of President Ivan Ruggeri, I'm sure he'd love to give us a hand from up there in Heaven.
"Atalanta are a club who are an integral part of the land. I am from Bergamo and had no difficulty settling in.
"The Ruggeri family called me on Sunday morning, before the Palermo game. If I am here it's because the club feels I can steer the ship in this difficult situation.
"Of course there are worries, but I am convinced we can emerge from this situation."

MADRID (MarketWatch) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Friday that the "stakes could not be higher" for Congress to raise the debt level soon. "If the United States cannot pay its bills in full and on time, each and every American will be affected..." said Lew in an op/ed for USA Today. "The stock market, including investments in retirement accounts, could tumble, and it could become more expensive for Americans to buy a car, own a home and open a small business." Lew said without a debt-limit increase, the government will "in a matter of days-- not have the resources it needs to make good on its commitments." The Treasury Department warned Thursday that a failure to raise the debt ceiling could trigger a financial crisis and recession even more damaging than the financial crisis of 2008.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Brewers announce minor-league staffs
The Brewers announced Tuesday their minor-league staffs for the 2013 season, most of which remain unchanged.
In one change, Rick Tomlin takes over as minor league pitching coordinator. Tomlin replaces Lee Tunnell, who was promoted from that role during the 2012 season to become the Brewers' bullpen coach. Tomlin will enter his 23rd season coaching in the minor leagues.
At Class AAA Nashville, manager Mike Guerrero and pitching coach Fred Dabney return for their second seasons. Former Brewers outfielder Bob Skube joins the Sounds as coach after spending the past six seasons as a hitting coach in the San Diego Padres organization, including the previous two seasons at Class AAA Tucson.
Skube, selected by the Brewers in the 13th round of the 1979 draft, played in the Brewers organization from 1979-'85. He appeared in 16 games with the Brewers during the 1982-'83 seasons, batting .250 with nine RBI.
Aaron Hoback enters his first season as Nashville's athletic trainer and his seventh season in the organization. He spent the past three seasons at Class AA Huntsville. Andrew Emmick begins his fourth season as strength and conditioning specialist.
The Huntsville Stars will see the return of manager Darnell Coles and pitching coach Chris Hook. The other coach is to be announced. Dwayne Hosey, who held the position last season, will serve as coach at rookie Helena in 2013. Athletic Trainer Steve Patera begins his first season at Huntsville following two seasons with the rookie Arizona Brewers. Tim Gifford returns for his second season as strength and conditioning specialist.
The coaching staff at high Class A Brevard County will remain the same in 2013. The staff includes manager Joe Ayrault, pitching coach Mark Dewey and coach Ned Yost IV, who all return to the Manatees for their second season. Athletic trainer Tommy Craig and strength and conditioning coach Jonah Mergen also return.
The Midwest League Champion low Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers return their entire coaching staff. Manager Matt Erickson, an Appleton native, is joined by pitching coach David Chavarria, coach Dusty Rhodes, athletic trainer Jeff Paxson and strength and conditioning specialist Christian Polega.
The rookie Helena Brewers will be managed by Tony Diggs, who spent the previous seven seasons as manager of the rookie Arizona Brewers. Pitching coach Elvin Nina returns for his fifth season and coach Dwayne Hosey will make the move from Huntsville. Don Money, who coached at Helena last season, will continue in his second season as special instructor, player development in the minor league system. He spent 14 seasons managing at various levels in the organization from 1998-2011.
Nestor Corredor will manage the Arizona Brewers in 2013 following three seasons at the helm of the rookie Dominican League Brewers. Pitching coach Steve Cline returns for his 33rd season as a pitching coach in the minors, including his 18th season as a member of the Brewers farm system. Coach Kenny Dominguez and strength and conditioning specialist Jake Marx also return. Greg Barajas, who spent last season as athletic trainer at Nashville, will fill the same role with the Arizona Brewers.
The staff for the rookie Dominican Summer League Brewers will be announced at a later date.

I am still amazed Money never got a ML managerial job.Seemed all his players raved about him. All the managers that are recirculated from one team to another, why not give other minor league coaches jobs at ML level.How many managers that have managed over 1,000 ML games actually have a .500 record?Hide replies
I doubt if Money was even interested in managing at the MLB level.
After all he went from managing Nashville at the AAA level to the Brewers instructor for player development.
A lot less pressure and doing what he probably enjoys.
Have you seen Major League 3? I see Money as a Gus Cantrell type guy. But I'm glad he's part of the Brewers organization and was important in the development of Braun, Fielder, Weeks, Gallardo, Sheets, Hart . . . You get the idea.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
Rafael Francisco Salas opens at Portrait Society Friday
Portraiture is an earnest and archetypal art form, according to Rafael Francisco Salas, an assistant professor of painting and drawing at Ripon College. The humane, face-to-face recognition between the viewer and the sitter creates a universal connection, an inescapable point of departure, he argues.
Some of the most interesting portraiture being made today, he argued in an essay presented at the annual College Art Association conference in Los Angeles in February, colludes with the iconography and traditional forms of art history while carving out a conceptual basis that engages with the contemporary world, too.
Salas' own attempt to traverse this territory includes a wall-sized triptych, an allegorical portrayal of Southern writer Flannrey O'Connor and the Irish punk star and ex-Pogues singer Shane Macgowan. He brings these disparate figures together onto a fictional stage to create a psychological painting that's more about mood and open-ended ideas than any narrative.
This monumental work along with other new works will go on view at the Portrait Society Gallery Friday, with an opening reception from 5 to 9 p.m. The exhibit will also feature preparatory drawings and sketches for the triptych – objects with their own, rich art historical traditions – and a selection of other portrait-related works.
Salas graduated from the New York Academy of Art and has exhibited at the PPOW Gallery in New York, the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and the Dean Jensen Gallery. This is his first show at the Portrait Gallery, 207 E. Buffalo St., in the Marshall Building, Suite 526. For more information, call gallery director Debra Brehmer: (414) 870-9930.

A Happy 20th anniversary in the TN blogosphere
Citizen Netmom: When he proposed to me a few months earlier, I asked him if he was quite sure, because I would kill him before I would divorce him. He accepted those terms. So I agreed to love, honor, and cherish — though not necessarily to obey — forever.

TERRE HAUTE — The number of American military veterans who served their country during World War II are dwindling rapidly. To those remaining, we can't pay enough tribute. They belong to a generation of men and women who made this nation — and the world — a better and safer place to live.
That's why events such as Victory Days at Hulman Field this weekend are so important. This special activity, which began Friday and runs through Sunday, allows us to honor and salute WWII veterans, and to teach new generations about their courage and sacrifice.
All the chatter surrounding Victory Days and the display of various World War II artifacts got me thinking a lot this week about the tiny WWII mini-museum I have at my home.
My dad, Joseph L. Jones of Loogootee, served in the United States Marine Corps during the war, attached to the 4th Marine Division in the South Pacific. He passed away more than 10 years ago, and I'm the lucky one in my large family of siblings to have possession of much of his war-era memorabilia.
Among the artifacts are black-and-white photos, most of them snapped of him and his Marine buddies while stationed on Maui in the Hawaiian Islands before or after their military campaigns. The jovial poses mask the seriousness of their mission, which placed them in at least three combat hotspots during the war with Japan.
My dad's tour of duty included combat on Saipan and Tinian, and a few months later the invasion of Iwo Jima. Like many of his fellow veterans, he talked little about his combat experiences, saying only that Saipan, for him, involved the worst direct fighting with the enemy, and that Iwo Jima was the most tedious because of how U.S. troops were hampered in securing the island due to fierce enemy resistance.
I am extremely proud of my dad's military service, and my two most prized of his possessions are the Purple Heart and Silver Star, both of which he earned on Saipan.
The Purple Heart, which honors those wounded in combat, has the most interesting history because it is a relatively new addition to the collection. Although he had documentation showing he was entitled to the Purple Heart, Dad chose not to claim the medal. When asked about it, he would brush off the question, saying he wasn't seriously injured (his wrist was grazed by either shrapnel or a bullet, he was never really sure) and that many, many fellow Marines suffered far more than he did. In essence, he didn't think he deserved it.
I read a few years ago that Dad's attitude was not uncommon among WWII veterans. Having experienced firsthand the horrors of war, they were almost embarrassed to accept the Purple Heart, especially if they considered their wounds minor.
Dad's attitude about the medal did not change until late in his life when he began attending 4th Marines Division reunions. He had the opportunity to get reacquainted with some of his old war buddies, who convinced him that he deserved his Purple Heart and should claim it. He eventually did, and I do not believe he ever felt any embarrassment about it after that point. I sure don't.
My favorite war story involving my dad was told to us after he died. It came from one of his Marine comrades who wrote a wonderful tribute letter to our family. He obviously had great affection for Dad. One of the poignant memories he shared was that whenever one of their unit's members was killed in action, Dad would write, on behalf of everyone in the unit, a personal letter of condolence to the fallen Marine's family.
I cannot adequately express the pride I feel, knowing that somewhere, mixed with personal memorabilia of a family who lost a loved one in that war, there is a comforting letter from a fellow Marine, signed "Joe Jones, USMC."
I hope Victory Days is a successful event for the Wabash Valley and stirs wonderful memories. It certainly has for me.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte 49ers' inaugural college football game on Saturday has turned into one of the hottest tickets around.
The game at 15,314-seat Richardson Stadium against Campbell University is sold out, with tickets on the online service StubHub.com advertised for as much as $200.
But hundreds of students who had hoped to attend the history-making game – and who are paying increased student fees to help pay for the stadium – won't be there.
Nearly half (7,500) of game tickets are allotted to students, but 8,300 had requested them. A lottery was required to determine who would receive tickets, leaving about 800 disappointed students on the outside of the stadium looking in – or at least watching the game on television (WCCB, Channel 18).
"We know the students who got tickets are excited and the ones who didn't are unhappy," said school spokesman Tom Whitestone. "But there are just no more tickets."
The rest of the stadium's seating is divided among season-ticket and permanent-seat license holders (6,800) and about 1,000 for players' families, the opposing team's fans, recruits, sponsors and high school coaches.
All those seats are expected to be filled Saturday too, Whitestone said.
"We are at our breaking point," he said.
Whitestone said the school will not distribute standing-room-only tickets to students who didn't have their names drawn in the lottery. Temporary stands are also not planned for this season in Richardson Stadium, which will likely be expanded to 40,000 seats by 2015, when the 49ers move to Conference USA in college football's highest classification.
The student lottery, which also will be used for the 49ers' remaining five home games, is open to all of UNCC's 26,274 students.
"It doesn't matter if you're a freshman, a part-time student, or a senior who has been to every other sports game ever here," said Libby Weihsmann, sports editor of the Niner Times, the school's newspaper.
Students who didn't win the lottery made their feelings known on Facebook, Twitter and school message boards.
Among the tweets:
• Someone give me their football ticket and I'll do your laundry for a week #desprate
• This UNCC Football ticketing is more serious than "Willy Wonkas Golden Ticket" smh lol
Senior Chris Summey, who didn't get a ticket, said he has been paying increased student fees since 2011.
"It probably should have been weighted more toward the seniors, who have been helping pay for the stadium and the football program for a few years," said Summey, who spent Tuesday night watching the 49ers women's soccer team play against Gardner-Webb at Transamerica Field. "That doesn't seem fair to me."
Ryan Benson, a senior from Clayton, has attended dozens of 49ers athletic events during his time at UNCC and was looking forward to going to the school's first-ever football game.
"I'm not frustrated so much that I'm a senior and some freshmen might have been able to go instead of me," said Benson. "It's just that I've been to a lot of events here and I'm not getting rewarded for the time that I've put in."
Benson and others who were shut out will get another chance Thursday, when a second lottery for 100 more tickets will be held. Also, students may wait in a stand-by line before the game Saturday if some student tickets go unused.
There will be a viewing party at the Student Union with a big-screen TV for the noon Saturday game.

NAPA, Calif. — It has been nearly three years since psychiatric technician Donna Gross was strangled on the fenced grounds of Napa State Hospital — a slaying that helped expose a systemwide problem with patient violence.
Although safety has improved since then, violence is still far too high, exacerbated by an increasingly prison-savvy population with predatory tendencies, an Assembly committee was told Wednesday. The committee focused its attention on the Napa facility, but will also be examining the other four state-run mental hospitals.

News: Joe Budden Refuses To Back Down, "I Still Out-Rap 90% Of N*ggas That Rap" [Video]
Tuesday, Jun 23, 2009 2:30PM
Joe Budden recently revealed his Method Man challenge regrets and why no rappers have sent him any battle rhymes since he called out Vibe's "Best Rapper Alive" list last month.
Claiming he has respect for rap pioneers, Joe explained the difference between paying homage and challenging an emcee's rhyming skills.
"Method Man, Redman, Wu-Tang, they happened to be some of the people who paved the way for Joe Budden to get here," he explained in an interview. "Which is why I get it, I understand what the uproar is about. I still didn't think me saying it would cause such an uproar...My statement still stands, I still out-rap 90 percent of the n*ggas that rap and I'm mad it turned into a Joe Budden versus Method Man thing because like I said, it was not directed towards Method Man. It was a comment but I said his name and I shouldn't have because I was talking to a large amount of people that were on that list...And furthermore, I wasn't just talking, I said I could prove it and nobody has sent a bar my way yet...Anybody can say what they want in an interview, I don't pay interviews no mind. And again, I have the utmost respect for Method Man, Redman, Wu-Tang, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, everybody involved that felt they had to chime in on my opinion...But today, in 2009, you send a bar my way...kiss the baby." (All Access DVD)
Aside from the aforementioned rappers, LL Cool J recently defended Budden's rap rant.
"Nowadays, [battling] is more about 'Are you making money, are you a businessman,'" LL explained in an interview. "I think the least important thing in hip-hop now is hip-hop. That's probably the least relevant thing. So I think Joe Budden has a right to feel how he feels. I think each individual has to make a decision and stand by that decision. So I can't be mad a Joe for feeling that. I can't be mad at Busta for feeling the way he feels...You can't remain a child forever, we all have to grow up. Michael Jordan is not in the Finals this year, that's just life. We gotta be willing to accept that. Sometimes a part of growing is knowing you'll be criticized for certain things you leave behind. That just comes with the territory. But for me to pretend to be 24 year-old LL Cool J for the rest of my life, that's not." (Global Grind)
CNN's Nore also spoke up in Budden's defense.
"He's entitled to his opinion," Nore explained in an interview. "Everybody's entitled to their opinion but when you make your opinion public, it sometimes comes across as disrespect. And a lot of people could feel that way but what it is, is you're entitled to your opinion as long as it's not public because once it becomes public, it can become the wrong thing. I wasn't mad at his opinion at all but when he made it public and when it comes across that's why people really blew it up. He didn't really say nothing disrespectful. But the fact that it's in the public eye, the public now has the decision to whether to co-sign it or disregard it but you know, you see what happened with it. It got thrown a little out of proportion. I heard what Busta said, I heard what Method said, Red said. I honestly don't think Joe meant it that way, in a disrespectful manner." (On The Air Idiots)
Despite claiming he has no intent for a rap war with Mef, Budden recently released a freestyle taking shots at older generation rappers.
"N*ggas is scared of the truth/They doing interludes in every interview talking about how they prepared to shoot/How thoughtful, won't resort to getting near a booth," Joe rapped. "Thought so, what I do to them is unlawful, boss dude ain't got a higher up to report to, just giving yourself a bad name...Got all them years rapping, nothing else happening/You need a day to day, old heads, with no other way to get paid/They gasping, time-out go take a break from the clay and grab a Gatorade/A bad contract, team can't make a trade/Majors f*ckin' you in the a**/You gonna stay a slave...Sh*t is f*cked up and I blame it on the way it was paved/So I'll chill for the sake of your age/You're great live, but let me know when that stage get appraised." (DJ Green Lantern's OnDaSpot Freestyle)

Hello, all!
I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I've been adhering to the primal lifestyle for just over a month now, and I've never felt better! Though I've eliminated grains, legumes and almost all dairy from my diet, I feel like I've gained so much freedom and flexibility in meal planning! I'm looking forward to enjoying better health, increased energy levels and more fun for years to come!
I read and loved The Primal Blueprint, and I'm very glad to have this site as an additional resource. I am pleased to be among others who understand this wonderful way of life. I'm sure I'll find y'all to be a wealth of knowledge on all things Primal!

HOUSTON – Only scattered showers were spotted in the early hours Monday, but the rain was expected to pick up closer to lunchtime, KHOU 11 News Meteorologist David Paul said.
There is a 50-percent chance of rain Monday with a high temperature of 92 degrees.
"We're going to see showers popping up all over the place, especially when we get a little daytime heating," said Paul. "Heavy rain could cause some street flooding in spots."
Wind gusts will reach 30-40mph, and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning is possible.
Our rain chances will dwindle to 20 percent later in the week. Temps will reach 94 degrees heading into the weekend.

Two weeks ago at a City Council meeting Cayuga Island residents expressed fear that a city plan would damage or even destroy Jayne Park.
The residents were so upset that they passed a petition securing several hundred signatures in order to stop the plan that would remove shoreline, construct a canoe launch and build two parking lots in Jayne Park.
I have recently learned that while the city planner stood in front of the council and denied any such "Jayne Park plan" that he had already made plans to construct a canoe launch at 89th Street and Cayuga Drive. While he was denying his involvement with the Jayne Park canoe launch he had already completed work to set aside $80,000 to build an additional canoe launch there. That $80,000 expenditure would be in addition to the $293,000 for the Jayne Park project.
Consider: One third of our residents don't own a car. The average annual household income in our city is $25,000. More than half of our residents receive social assistance. Our streets are in terrible shape, our trees and sidewalks are years behind in maintenance and the parkland we have isn't consistently maintained due to budget concerns. We are in need of jobs and of new development. We aren't building new attractions and we aren't luring investors into town ... we are BUILDING CANOE LAUNCHES! And it's all being done to accommodate the Buffalo Riverkeepers, the Niagara River Greenway Commission and Ken Sherman of Hamilton, Ont., who is a paid consultant to LaSalle Pride.
If these "projects" represent the very best use of greenway dollars then I have to say, no thanks, keep your greenway dollars because these projects are beginning to look like nothing more than a disturbing excuse to waste dollars to benefit a few bureaucrats and consultants. I intend to take a closer look at what is going on here because damage is being done to the city and the taxpayer.
I promise our residents that I will make every effort to see to it that our streets, our sidewalks and trees receive the attention they deserve while this unacceptable waste of dollars on "canoe launches" and "park plans" is stopped.

LETTER: Fighting the vile lies in Niagara Falls politics
I am sorry to have to write this letter. However, lies, distortions, and vile falsehoods cannot go unchallenged. So I feel compelled to fight back against the most recent lie — the completely false accusations that the Niagara Falls Democratic Committee and I are racist.
- GUEST VIEW: Elected officials need to learn about Islam
GUEST VIEW: Questions concerning Accardo's announcement
The recent announcement by former Niagara Falls councilman John Accardo to run for the New York State Assembly is striking on at least two fronts.
LETTER: Setting record straight on Youngstown Presbyterian Church
I find myself so enraged by an article in the April 28 issue of a tabloid I prefer not to name that I must set straight one of the false accusations contained in it.
LETTER: Food pantries need support this Saturday
The Niagara Falls area has always been known for its generosity to those in need.
Pride and Jayne Park in LaSalle
City council president Sam Fruscione's recent comments to the Niagara Gazette are ridiculous and filled with half-truths.
- LETTER: Erie County SPCA has facts wrong I am writing in response to recent statements made by Gina Browning, Erie County SPCA director of public relations. She recently stated: "When no assistance was provided by the Rainbow Animal Shelter regarding the Niagara County incident (the Rainbow Animal Shelter is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Niagara County), SPCA serving Erie County representatives arrived at the Amherst Animal Emergency Clinic Saturday to assist."
- LETTER: City heading up the creek Two weeks ago at a City Council meeting Cayuga Island residents expressed fear that a city plan would damage or even destroy Jayne Park.
- LETTERS: Rough roads tell tale of Falls This letter is in response to the rumor that Mayor Paul Dyster plans to run for Congresswoman Louise Slaughter's congressional seat. He has not done anything to show that he is worthy of Slaughter's congressional seat. He can't even oversee his Public Works' division, as evidenced by the deplorable condition and the job not done on our roads.

Did you know that Marilyn Roddy, Becky Duncan Massey, and Victoria DeFreese are running for the state Senate? Gov. Bill Haslam finally issued a call for the election to replace state Sen. Jamie Woodson last Friday, timing the special election with the city election on Sept. 27.
The first priority for the campaigns will be to get people in the district to know that there is an election. Campaigning candidates, some in city elections, report they knock on doors and residents are not aware that there is a state Senate special election. Most of the district is outside the city, it's a horseshoe around Knoxville.

We're just as shocked and disappointed as you are to learn that the SNL alum and her hilarious hubby are going their separate ways. So, before they sign their divorce papers, we just want to say "so long" to this king and queen of comedy. We loved that you were together for so long ... and we especially love that big-headed, ginger baby of yours.

Entering Cheat Codes on the Nintendo DS and DSi Systems
If you have the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo DS Lite, or the Nintendo DSi then you already know it is a great portable video game system. It loads quickly, there are a ton of games available for it, and it has a good battery life. All of these qualities are essential to a good mobile gaming system.
It may seem like a very basic aspect of the system, but if you use cheat codes for your Nintendo DS or DSi video games then you'll need to be familiar with various areas of the system, and their abbreviations in cheat codes. For the most part the system is fairly self-explanatory. Most of the confusion comes when dealing with the triggers, or bumpers on the top left and right of the system.
Here is a brief explanation of the various areas of the Nintendo DS and DSi system to help you enter your Nintendo DS cheat codes with better success. Your DS may vary slightly from the picture above. The system in the image is the latest Nintendo DSi system, but controls for the original DS, the DS Lite, and the DSi are so similar so no further explanation is needed.
In the next step I have detailed these areas for better understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT SUCKS BOOGIES & catches them in a tube to eat later, December 2, 2010
By Moobs (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nosefrida The Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator (Baby Product)
my wife has tiny nostrils. i can't fit any of my fingers in her nose...it's amazing she can breathe through her nose at all. consequently, our son is also lacking in the nostril-diameter department. he gets boogies...he can't breathe very well...he gets upset. it's been like that since he was born, whenever that was...recently. i forget, but i digress. we came home from the hospital with a pretty decent nose-sucking bulb...it did a reasonably OK job of sucking out boogers...and was reasonably firm and springy. but then our dog ate it. so, i tried to find a replacement. not all bulbs are created equal, i soon found out. some were too hard to squeeze and didn't spring back quickly enough. others were too soft to suck anything out and just sat there, mocking me. i tried at least four different replacement bulbs, none of which were as good as the one from the hospital. we even tried a fancy battery powered nose vacuum that made a whirring sound but produced nary a single lump of green gold. while ordering the various, useless bulbs i also ordered this thing - the nosefrida - on a whim thinking i was probably wasting $13.
this thing works. it sucks boogers out of noses. it even stores them in a little tube to eat later. or, you can just wash them out in the sink. anyway...it works better than any of the other things we tried...and we tried pretty much everything. there's a technique to it:
- suck in quick short bursts with your mouth muscles first...to loosen things up
- then, suck in long hoover-style bursts to get those boogies out
- if the boogies get stuck near the surface, try pulling the end of the thing out a little mid-suck a few times
- use a tissue or q-tip to get any nose goblins that are loitering anywhere accessible
- repeat
if i was a professional booger sucker...and it was my job to suck the snot out of noses 8 hours a day, i would insist on using this thing. but i would want a longer tube, and a holster.

Another first-hand account
Busy Mom: I don't have all the pictures from back there, but this is the barn, early on. It would eventually be covered with water: ...
It's completely gone, now. Washed down the river on Saturday night, you could hear it from our house when it went.
The 40 some odd cows were stranded on an island out there. Eight didn't make it.
Sunday morning, was a little surreal. We were stranded in our neighborhood, and the rain continued.
The first 4 houses on the street were completely under water, they had to be rescued. -- More.
