Question: Why did John Adams defend Captain Preston after the Boston Massacre?
Answer: John Adams believed that the rule of law should be paramount and that the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre deserved a fair trial. Adams successfully defended Captain Preston. Basically, Preston and his detachment of seven or eight men were quickly surrounded by angry Boston citizens. All attempts to calm the crowd proved useless. At this point, the accounts of the event vary drastically. Apparently, a soldier fired a musket into the crowd, immediately followed by more shots. This action left several wounded and five dead including an African-American named Crispus Attucks.
John Adams actions made him unpopular with the patriots in Boston for several months. He overcame this stigma because he defended the British through principle rather than sympathy for their cause.

Quinoa and Avocado Salad
A bright and citrus-y quinoa salad, great as a side, used as a dip, or for a light lunch.
A bright and citrus-y quinoa salad, great as a side, used as a dip, or for a light lunch.
A great way to use up leftover quinooa is these herbed quinoa patties. Dipped in plain yogurt they are quite refreshing and they make a great addition to a salad.
Nutty quinoa adds a nice twist to your more traditional corn salsa, putting this dish somewhere between an corn salsa and a Spanish rice.
Have you recovered from the food and sweets coma of Christmas this morning? So many tasty dishes, delectable sweets, and once-a-year favorites. Between seeing different friends and family for Christmas and New Years, this really is a week of celebrating. While you may not want to think about food this …
I tried to make this bake look appetizing in pictures, I really did. But how do you make squirrely quinoa baked in a creamy chicken broth and tossed with veggies look beautiful? The panko crust and the color of the veggies helps quite a bit, but in the end, pictures …
Mild Indian spices and fragrant toasted walnuts combine with nutty quinoa to create a light dist chock full of whole grain flavor.

MILLEDGEVILLE — Hands On Milledgeville (HOM) recognized local individuals for determining the needs of Milledgeville and Baldwin County and devoting themselves to volunteering their efforts toward various organizations, businesses and community partners to help make a difference.
HOM held the award ceremony during the November First Friday event to distinguish Barrett Roell as the Youth Volunteer of the Year, Laura Thompson as the Volunteer of the Year, Gamma Sigma Sigma as the Youth Volunteer Group of the Year, Oconee Regional Medical Center (ORMC) Auxiliary as the Volunteer Group of the Year, and Paula Barnes as the Volunteer Administrator of the Year.
Since last year, Roell has had an active role in giving his time to the Georgia College GIVE Center and putting his efforts specifically toward blood drives. Through his commitment, Georgia College's first blood drive of the year held in August was able to collect 253 pints, exceeding the goal by 47 pints.
Thompson's dedication to helping each Community Action Team member strive to be the best they can be to better serve youth participating within the Baldwin County Ferst Foundation of Childhood Literacy is what Stiles admires, nominating her as the Volunteer of the Year.
Gamma Sigma Sigma, a Georgia College service organization, will have completed nearly 40,000 hours of service by the end of this year since being founded in 1997. The group has received the National Service Merit Award from the Gamma Sigma Sigma national office as well as the National Presidential Volunteer Service Award.
With 49 active members, ORMC Auxiliary members volunteered more than 5,600 hours between January and July of this year, earning the Volunteer Group of the Year designation. The Auxiliary manages and operates the Pink Bow Gift Shop at the local hospital, which is the sole source of income for the organization and has enabled the Auxiliary to donate more than $1 million to the hospital.

Knoxville's GOP congressman on the war
As debate continues to boil over the handling and future of the Iraq war, I thought it useful to quote some from a speech U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr. gave on the House floor in April. Duncan was an early opponent of the war.
We need to start putting our own people first. If we do not, we are soon not going to be able to pay all the Social Security and military pensions, and all the other things we have promised our own people with money that will buy very much.
Governments all over the world have gotten in this situation. They then start printing more money, and people do not realize what is going on. All they see is each year their pensions buy less than the year before.
Today we have a national debt approaching $9 trillion. Even worse, according to the GAO, we have unfunded future pension liabilities of $50 trillion.
We all love and respect our military, but there is waste in any gigantic bureaucracy, and there is huge waste even in the military. A year and a half ago, it was reported by the Defense Department's own inspector general that $35 billion had been misspent in Iraq due to waste, fraud and abuse, and another $9 billion had simply been lost and could not be accounted for at all.
Not only has the U.S. done more for Iraq, we do more for every other country, by far, than does any other Nation. Almost every Federal department and agency has operations around the world.
Liberals will tell you that our foreign aid is only a little over 1 percent of our budget. This is very misleading. We are spending megabillions in other countries when you add up not only the Defense Department but all the other departments' spending, too.
We all love and appreciate our country, but all of this spending is not helping. There is more resentment than ever toward the U.S. because of our interventionist foreign policies.

Frank Wacholtz
Greetings Friend,
This web site is about none other than the never late, sometimes great, Frank S.
Wacholtz. If you keep reading you'll
learn a little about my life, loves, and my theory of everything.
You are still reading I see. That can only mean one thing. You, foolish
human, are totally out of your mind, and you want to know a little more about me (okay that's two things, but only one in
principle). I presume I must slake your thirst for knowledge, now. So--as I have been in the habit of warning my friends--grab
yourself a machete and come along on a frightful adventure into the great unknown I call "My Mind".
I was born in Grand Forks North Dakota (you might remember it being flooded some
years back). Oddly enough, it took me quite some time to learn to use a fork. After multiple fork injuries as a child (I think
I stabbed my brain once or twice), I
learned about this wonderful invention called a spoon. Now,
History will tell you that the blessed spoon was invented first
and had been in use for a long time before the fork, but that
didn't matter to my infant mind so much as the dull edge not
drawing blood. In college, Howard Payne
University, the spoon took on new meaning. It no longer was a way to deliver food safely to my head,
but funtioned as a space age cutting tool.
According to campus legend, (and every campus of note will have one or two
at least) a young man once injured himself with a butter
knife in a duel over a beautiful young lady. Not only was the
young man rejected and never loved again, but the powers-that-be, thereafter, declared that never again would knives threaten the
populace. And so each knife edge was ground down to the
point that even a karate instructor would fail to cut through a
luke-warm stick of butter. This was proved in my day, but
I digress.
Now, between these two momentous incidents I lived quite a bit of life
(thanks to the blessed spoon). The son of a military man and
traveling often, I learned a very important phrase that served me
faithfully throughout my life. It goes something like this,
"Hola me llama..." wait let me try that again, "Hi, my name is
Frank Wacholtz, would you be so kind as to not hurt me and
direct me to the nearest spoon of convenience." I made many new
friends this way and saw many strange faces I'll never forget
(no vicious fork to gouge them out of my memory). I uttered this
phrase of welcome in such places as England, Idaho, Colorado,
Texas, Alabama, California, South Korea and even North Korea (the
border gaurd just looked at me funnny).
I remember when I was only nine years old. My father thought it
wise to provide my two brothers and I with a new basball
bat. This was not a fork and was thus assumed safe for my use.
How wrong he was. The plastic had not even been off the
bat for an hour before I mercilessly clobbered my middle brother
with a well placed strike between the eyes. I rushed my
brother to the screen door leading into the house and was about to
help him in when my brother screamed, "No! I can't bleed on
the carpet! Mom will kill me." Please keep in mind this is why I
had been forbidden the use of forks in the first place.
My Mom laid down some newpaper and rushed my bleeding brother
through the house and into the car for a trip to the hospital.
Tears welled up in my eyes because I thought I had killed him.
(good thing I'm a lousy baseball player). My Father took my
youngest brother and I to a restraunt and bought us icecream while
my middle brother was stitched up. Once again a spoon
was involved and I was spared further injury. I still tease my
brother that he got a scar and I got icecream.
I'll fastforward now to my days of waiting tables in Irving, Texas,
in a small, family-owned Itallian Restraunt. I was handling
forks now (age had steeled me for the ordeal) mostly by rolling
them neatly inside a napkin beside a spoon. This provided
a measure of protection that was both acceptable and profitable.
However, all good things eventually come to an end. I came
to a fork in the road. I tried to take it like an old baseball
player suggested, but injured my brain so badly that I decided
to write a book. I know, you do crazy things when forks are
around. And so began the writing of "The Fall of Mahkinoc".
It took some time to come up with that name. I wish I could tell
you all the other forks that were presented, but they gouged
pieces out of my brain, and I can no longer remember them.
After a brainstorming session with my middle brother, (you can
find his site at www.crestfallen.us) I
cleaned the wound in my brain and got to writing. Did I mention that my brain was so thoroughly injured that I
took up
substitute teaching for 6 months during the writing of the rough
draft? Well, I did. I got to serve every detention I failed
to be awarded through all my years of school. Did I mention that
in-school suspension is worse for the teacher than the student?
I did, did I. Okay then. It is. Espescially when the room is
kind of cold and your mind starts drifting because the students
are temporarily obeying your instructions... So I took up
bringing a book with me. I learned the history of seafaring that
winter and spring. The best thing about seafaring is that there
were no forks, just lots of rope and the occasional paddle
in the early days. (Okay and a few pointy sticks, but they don't
I hope you've enjoyed this rambling session. Did I mention I get
along great with the ADD crowd? I'm quite convinced this is
my mother's doing. She's a great mom. Protected me from forks,
she did. You all should have the privilage of knowing someone
like her. I still remember one night when I was fifteen years
old. I looked up to her and said, "Mom, I was a real pain
as a little kid. Wasn't I?" I won't give you her response, but
with a loving smile she said, "Yes, Frank. Yes, you were."
I told her I would try to make it up to her. Of course, now that
I have two little ones of my own who are so much like me...
I keep them well away from forks and spoon-feed (not fork-feed, mind you) them
information they'll remember forever but never use.
I bid you good morning, and May Peace favor you and blessing dog
your every step,
Frank S. Wacholtz

St. Bernard Middle School
Students at St. Bernard Middle School held their annual blessing of the St. Joseph's Table. The ceremony is normally held on the Feast of St. Joseph, March 19, but since that falls during spring break this year, the event was celebrated one week before. The blessing was given by school president, Father Joel Martin who described St. Joseph as a righteous man.
Father Joel asked the students to learn from St. Joseph, who lovingly accepted Mary as his wife after Mary said "yes" to God, making possible the birth of Jesus, God among us.
By imitating Joseph and Mary, the students responded to God with their own generosity by donating food items for those in need, showing God's love. Father Joel blessed the food offered for the poor, and also blessed the students who make God present in the lives of others.
The St. Joseph Altar or St. Joseph Table is an old tradition from Sicily. During the Middle Ages, a draught threatened to bring about a severe famine. The dried out wheat stalks cracked beneath the feet of the poor farmers as they walked through their barren fields. Only a sea of dust and withered vines remained from what had once been row upon row of brightly colored fruits and vegetables.
And so the people prayed. They especially called on St. Joseph, considered their patron, to intercede for them, pleading for relief from the famine that gripped the island. At last the skies opened, sending down the life-giving water. The people rejoiced. Some time later, to show their gratitude, they prepared a table in honor of St. Joseph; it held a special assortment of foods they had harvested, which were then distributed to the less fortunate.
Though Sicilian immigrants introduced the custom to America, the celebration is not confined to any nationality. Rather, it has become a public event which its devoted participants embrace for a host of private and personal reasons. The feast is alternately a source of petition, thanksgiving and love.
St. Bernard students collected more than 300 canned food items which will be donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank in Cullman.

Campsite death 'tragic accident'
9:44pm Friday 6th April 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Hampshire Police forensic officers photograph the tent at the Holmsley campsite near Bransgore in the New Forest after the death of a young girl
Two people arrested in connection with the death of a six-year-old girl have been released without charge after a post-mortem examination found it was a tragic accident.
The pair - a 30-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, both from Gosport in Hampshire - were detained on suspicion of murder after the youngster was discovered "fitting" at the Holmsley campsite in the New Forest, Hampshire.
She suffered a cardiac arrest in the early hours of this morning and was rushed to Southampton General Hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later. The campsite was the scene of intense police activity all day as scene of crime officers examined the family-sized tent the girl was staying in.
Investigations will now continue to find out exact circumstances of the death.
The girl's mother and father were reportedly giving her CPR when medical staff arrived. The arrested pair were quizzed by detectives for most of the day as around 40 officers worked on the circumstances surrounding the death.
One witness, who did not want to be named, said she was woken by the sound of screams and someone repeatedly pressing a car horn before police and paramedics arrived at the scene.
The death has left the mood at the campsite very sombre with many campers hoping to enjoy the Easter break deciding to leave early.
The Camping and Caravanning Club's director general Robert Louden said: "We were saddened to hear the tragic news and have since been assisting the police with their ongoing investigations.
"On behalf of the club I would personally like to thank our holiday site managers, assistants and campers on site at Holmsley for their full co-operation and compassion, and our thoughts are very much with the little girl's family and friends at this difficult time."
The campsite hopes to reopen on Sunday for new arrivals and police will remain in the vicinity for the next 24 hours to reassure visitors to the site and the local community The youngster is expected to be named by police later.

Castle-Hughes was born and raised in Mount Wellington, New Zealand, a suburb of Auckland, where she excelled in school and athletics, including rugby and track. Like many of her friends, Castle-Hughes admired Hollywood actresses-Julia Roberts in particular-if only for the glamour and fashion. It was while attending primary school that Castle-Hughes was discovered by Rowan. In an interview with the casting director, Castle-Hughes was asked if she could ride a bike and swim. She answered yes to both, knowing she couldn't swim a stroke-a slight fib that was discovered two weeks into principal photography; a local Maori girl helped teach Castle-Hughes how.

I have a 40 in the center, 38's up front, 28's in the rear, and a pair of JBL N24s on the 6th channel. My sitting position is on the back wall. The 28's are positioned 7 ft. high on the side walls firing in towards the listeners. The N24's are on the back wall at ear level on each side of the couch. The room is 20' x 13'.
Is there any value to timbre-matching the speakers on the 6th channel? In other words, would I experience a significant improvement in sound if I changed out the JBL's for Polk Fxi30's? My interest is in movies only, not music (I prefer 2 channels for music).

Richard F. Dodelin sat in a local hair salon one Friday last January, blowing off steam and giving his stylist an earful about the mounting tension in his personal life. He griped about William Bullard, his girlfriends ex-husband, and said he knew how to be aggressive because he was an attorney.
As he prepared to leave, Dodelins boasting took on a more serious tenor.
He doesnt know who hes messing with, he said. Ill shoot his ass.
The rant may have seemed like barbershop hyperbole at the time. But in hindsight, the irritated attorney had foreshadowed a tragedy Columbus wont soon forget.
Dodelin made good on his threat three days later, according to police, when he met Bullard about 11 p.m. in front of the 84 Lumber on Fortson Road, a neutral ground the men had chosen to address their differences.
Dodelin casually returned home after the shooting and holed up inside his Hubbard Road house all night, attracting a massive police presence by daybreak.
On Feb. 1, 2011, as a SWAT team was gearing up to enter, Dodelin walked out the back door, fired a 12-gauge shotgun at police officers and managed to escape into a densely wooded area, prompting an hours-long search.
The event that became known as the manhunt sent shock waves through Columbus, gripping a community at once worried by school lockdowns and road closures and confused by the unexpected outbreak of violence. The search for Dodelin finally ended before 4 p.m., as a sniper spotted him roaming near a skeet range in a bright red University of Georgia jacket.
After a volley of gunfire with deputies, the troubled attorney turned his weapon on himself and pulled the trigger.
While authorities quickly pegged Dodelin as Bullards killer, their investigation into the slaying was just beginning. Over the next several days, detectives interviewed witnesses such as Dodelins hair stylist in an effort to piece together the events that precipitated the shooting.
This account of the manhunt stems from several interviews, hundreds of pages of police reports, 911 transcripts, crime scene photographs and other documents from three law enforcement agencies. The review of the case a year later -- from the events before Bullards death to the investigation that cleared the officers who fired at but missed Dodelin -- offers new details of the murder-suicide and the subsequent search for answers.
Columbus police last week declined to discuss details of the case. Maj. Gene Hillhouse, who heads the departments investigative bureau, said he didnt know of any loose ends in the case.
Our major focus revealed that there was a mutual combat; one became the victor, and at a point later on, he ended his own life, Hillhouse said. Theres nothing to substantiate that anybody else was a part of that, and (investigators) looked at it for months.
Mounting tension
The problems between Dodelin and Bullard came to a head in the weeks before the shooting. The men had crossed paths through their very different relationships with Rebekah Hardy, Bullards ex-wife.
While theyd been divorced for years, Bullard maintained a close friendship with Hardy, and he was inseparable from Bliss, their 14-year-old daughter. Bliss said she saw her father everyday. He took her to school and picked her up, and many days they would go eat together.
He and my mom had a complicated relationship, but anyone could tell you that they really loved each other no matter how much they fought, wrote Bliss, now 15, in an email to the Ledger-Enquirer. They could always rely on one another.
Hardy said she met Dodelin through her work in real estate in 2010, and what began as a business relationship became more serious in the weeks before the shooting. Dodelin and his wife were separated and going through a divorce, Hardy said, and he was going through a hard time.
Dodelin slept with a small handgun under his mattress and kept several firearms in the house. Bullard eschewed weapons and never felt comfortable around them. One friend said Bullard was too liberal to anticipate someone bringing a gun to a contentious encounter.
People were afraid of Richard, Hardy said, but William wasnt scared of anybody.
Bullard had become increasingly concerned about Dodelin and the way he perceived him to be treating his daughter, and he had been enraged by an incident that happened more than a week before the shooting.
Late one Saturday, his daughter went with some friends to a motel on Macon Road. She became uncomfortable at the sight of alcohol in the room and called a trusted family member to pick her up.
The family member was pulled over for speeding on the way, but the officer agreed to follow her to the motel to verify her urgency.
Once there, the officer admonished the teens about the dangers of being out so late, but the sternest warning the girls received was from Dodelin, who insisted they be driven to his house after the episode, where Hardy was waiting.
Several witnesses would tell police that Dodelin lectured the girls using cuss words and, at some point, warned them that they ran the risk of being perceived as sluts because of their behavior. Hardy, in her first interview since the murder-suicide, told the Ledger-Enquirer last week Dodelins words were exaggerated by the time they reached Bullard.
Bullard was deeply angered that Dodelin had acted as his daughters legal guardian, according to police reports.
Dodelin had his own reasons for being upset with Bullard. He told his hairstylist he felt like Bullard was harassing Hardy and needed to leave her alone.
Hardy told police Dodelin was extremely possessive and jealous any time she had contact with other men, and that he may have viewed Bullard as a threat because of their strong friendship.
Even Hardys husband, Victor, a reserved man who told police he minds his own business, knew something was brewing between Dodelin and Bullard.
I first noticed the two were arguing and saying they were going to fight about a month ago, he told police after the shooting. But nothing really ever happened -- they just talked about it.
There were other signs of tension. Hardy said Bullard left Dodelin a message calling the attorney a midget ambulance chaser.
The night before the shooting, Dodelin followed a friend of Bullards thinking he was in the vehicle as if he wanted to fight, said Bobby Jaramillo, Bullards best friend.
It was a clear indication to me that the guy may be a little more dangerous than I thought he may have been, Jaramillo, a law enforcement officer in Tallapoosa County, said in a phone interview last week.
Fatal shooting
On the night of the shooting, Hardy had put Richard to bed about 10 p.m. and gone home to eat a spaghetti dinner cooked by her husband. Bullard was waiting on Dodelin at the 84 Lumber and called shortly before 11 p.m. wanting to speak to Hardy.
She refused the call because they had been arguing.
Bullards daughter took the call and tried to talk him out of the meeting, telling him he was behaving like a high school student. Bullard insisted on meeting Dodelin, saying he was tired of the man talking crap.
Dodelin suggested the meeting and Bullard chose 84 Lumber because it seemed like a neutral ground in between their residences, Hardy said. While she wouldnt talk to Bullard, Hardy spoke with Dodelin and implored him not to go to the lumber company.
A few minutes after 11 p.m., Dodelin called Hardy back and sounded upset.
William is at 84 Lumber, he said before hanging up.
Hardy said it seemed like time froze. She scrambled for a pair of shoes but couldnt find any.
Her daughter wanted to ride to the lumber company, too, but Hardy locked the car door so she couldnt get in. On the way there, she assumed Dodelin had beaten Bullard up.
She saw Bullards car when she arrived and then his body, lying perfectly straight in the drive, she said. He wore blue jeans and a blue warm-up top. A gunshot wound oozed over his eye, and he had cuts on his face.
Shell casings lay between the body and the front gate. Bullards vehicle -- a four-door Mazda Protégé -- was parked backwards at the front entrance on the grass.
Hardy said she approached her ex-husband and called out to him. But she knew he was dead.
Wake up, she said. Wake up.
Hardy recalled that she dialed 911 and said her husband had been shot. Then she drove two miles to Dodelins house. She said she would have stayed with Bullard had she noticed any signs of life, but she didnt. She said she had no fear of confronting Dodelin -- and thats what she did.
Hardy said Dodelin greeted her like nothing happened, though he acknowledged shooting Bullard.
He was as calm as he could be with me.
Days later, Hardy would call a friend, Lt. Donna Tompkins of the Muscogee County Sheriffs Office, to talk about the events of that night. Tompkins took seven pages of notes from the conversation and later gave them to police.
According to Tompkins, Hardy was convinced Dodelin wanted her to be the one who discovered Bullards body.
It was like a cat killing an animal and bringing it to the doorstep, Tompkins said Hardy told her. It pisses you off, but they think they did something good.
Hardy pleaded with Dodelin to turn himself in. She telephoned his father, who told her to call police and hung up on her.
She called defense attorney Richard C. Hagler, who later went to the scene of the standoff hoping he could talk Dodelin into surrendering. Dodelin refused.
Hardy said her paramour made a startling confession that night. According to Hardy, Dodelin claimed to have killed two other people before Bullard but didnt say whom.
Hardy told police about the confession a few days after the shooting, but said she didnt think authorities gave it much credence.
Neither did Hagler. Im not conceding he said it, but if he did, its something that would be false bravado in the bizarre events of that evening, Hagler said. I have no reason to believe there would be any truth to it.
Back in Dodelins house, Hardy could see she wasnt getting anywhere. That night, when I looked at him, there was something about him, she said. His eyes were different.
Hardy spotted an empty suitcase and feared Dodelin might try to flee the country. She recalled hed been looking for his misplaced passport and talking about a trip to London.
I told him, Please turn yourself in, she said. It was like trying to negotiate with a terrorist.
Hardy said she was furious over the shooting and didnt want Dodelin to get away with it.
You know theyre going to come for you, right? she told him.
She could already hear the sirens in the distance.

We say "essential", but essentially it is one person's opinion. And that person is the one and only Jack Cullen.
Of course this summer is all about the obligatory non-fiction reads, How To Be A Woman by Caitlin Moran, How To Leave Twitter by Grace Dent, How To Pay Off Your Mortgage In Highgate by Insert Sarcastic Female. Still, once you've finished your homework, here are some proper novels to get some sand into. Something old, something new, something borrowed and something from Prowler:
Something Old:
THE WRONG PEOPLE by Robin Maugham
Must gay men be doomed to either infidelity or boredom? A scandalous and hard-edged sexual thriller set in post-war Morocco that was first published under a pseudonym in 1967 due to its racy content. The story follows Arnold a repressed gay teacher in a reform school who falls in love with a fourteen-year-old boy on holiday in Tangier. Arnold falls into a world of alcoholic millionaire ex-pats, estranged women who've left their British husbands to pursue young black companions, and a web of blackmail begins to thread itself around Arnold's forbidden desires.

One night he staggers across a former presidential mansion in the jungle and is surprised to discover an overthrown dictator in hiding – "Who else will cut the grass?" he says. A beautifully written and powerfully understated thriller set against the dazzling heat of a South African backdrop.

Something New:
THE STRANGER'S CHILD by Alan Hollinghurst
An attentive and masterful novelist, Hollinghurst has a rare gift for telling (perfectly paced) stories that wrap slowly around the reader's heart before totally enveloping their every emotion, indeed Hollinghurst is the gay community's literary trump card, Ishiguro in heels, Brideshead with proper bumming. The Stranger's Child is no exception. See Theo Tait's review in the Guardian here. I was sold at "Cecil Valance, a mediocre Georgian poet, repeatedly ravishes the love-struck younger son of the house"

MADE IN BRITAIN by Gavin James Bower
Former male model Gavin James Bower caused a stir with his first book 'Dazed And Aroused', a novel that exposed the world of London fashion magazine internships. Still, he's persevered and Made In Britain, his second novel, will hit the shelves in September. Set in the north of England the story follows a trio of lonely teenagers all trying to make something of their lives whilst avoiding drugs, violence and the damp of parental influence. Gritty, and in parts witty, the characters are strangely moreish. It's worth reading if only for the laboriously deprived gay sex scene.

Something Borrowed:
Nothing beats waking up in a guest bedroom and dipping into the book on the bedside cabinet, trying to ignore the sound of your host's rocking bedposts in the next room. Here are two great reads I've borrowed for the summer:
A NEW LIFE by Wendy Moffat
Despite living to the age of ninety E.M.Forster stopped publishing novels at the age of forty-five. His masterpiece of homosexual fiction Maurice was released post-humously. In this fascinating biography Wendy Moffat explores Forster's ideas of individuality, freedom, tolerance and love, establishing a sense of how he helped to build the world we live in today, not necessarily through self-publicising his own work, but through influencing the creations of his close friends such as novelist Christoper Isherwood and the composer Benjamin Britten.

SWIMMER by Bill Broady
A young girl takes to swimming as an escape from her family troubles and problematic school life, and through dedication and obsession becomes an Olympic swimmer. But when she turns 19 her coach throws her into a world of publicity, sexual sleaze, paranoia and abuse. Written astonishingly in the second person, Bill Broady's novelette reads like an extended poem, or possibly, a journey through water. With the London Olympics around the corner and 'celebrity' swimmers frequently making splashes in the news, Bill Broady's debut from 2001 is more powerful and relevant than ever.

Something Blue:
BEST OF GAY EROTICA 3 by Various Authors (like Band Aid, but not)
This popular series of gay short stories has been going since 1996. It mostly involves uncanny coincidences, dinner parties with not enough beds to go round, gardeners who feel compelled to undergo their basic hygiene routine under the rose bed sprinklers, cocky sixth formers who forget their P.E. kit so have to settle for a thong made out of Mr. Helmet's handkerchiefs, and generally speaking fountains of ejaculation scattered randomly across every other paragraph. Still, it's a good one to get out on the plane so, you know, the hot guy across the way knows you're on the team.

Los Angeles County's most entrenched street dwellers make up just a quarter of its roughly 51,000 homeless people. But studies have found they account for a disproportionate share of public spending, including on hospital emergency rooms and jails.
On Thursday, public officials and private donors will announce that they are spending $105 million to move more than a thousand of the most chronic cases into permanent housing, part of a sweeping change in the way the county deals with homelessness.

Happy Birthday Kobe Bryant!
Kobe Bryant. Where to start with this guy… how about 5 time champion, 2 time Finals MVP, 13 time All Star, 8 time All-NBA First team and 8 time All-Defensive First team. What stands out the most about Kobe is his passion for the game and his unwillingness to give up.
Kobe entered the NBA as a 17-year old kid in 1996 as a high-flying prospect out of Lower Merion High School, selected 13th overall by the Charlotte Hornets (now known as the New Orleans Hornets). He was born in Philadelphia but moved to Italy as he was young then returned back to Philly during his High School years and made a name for himself as one of the top high school prospects at the time.
In the 1996 Draft, there were high expectations that he would be selected by hometown team, the76ers but he was spurned by the 76ers, whom selected Allen Iverson instead. Kobe slipped to the #13 where he was selected by the Charlotte Hornets. Thanks to the cerebral thinking of then-General Manager and Laker legend Jerry West, Kobe was traded to the Lakers for the starting Centre, Vlade Divac (that might be one trade that the Hornets wish they could take back).
Since then, Kobe has not disappointed. Every game would be one for the history books, whether it involved him scoring 81 against the Raptors, 62 in 3 quarters against the Mavericks, draining 12 three-pointers (in 18 attempts) against the Seattle Supersonics or setting a Madison Square Garden record by scoring 61 points in the building.
He has made a name for himself as one of the best, if not, the best closer the game has seen. Hearing the crowd yell out in disappointment and showering him with boo's after hitting a game winner or clutch shot (on the road) has become a routine for Kobe.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Kobe. He faced his shares of downs in his career whether it was wasting years of potential championship talent away on a team full of Kwame's, Smush's and Mihm's or whether it was his dispute with Phil and being labelled as "un-coachable"
Yet that didn't stop Kobe from playing the game. He used that negativity he got from the media and turned it into revenge, letting his play do the talking. This is word to the media, keep the hate coming guys!
Happy Birthday, Kobe!

I find it appalling that we have people in this FREE country trying to boycott a company for choosing a spokesperson because they have a lifestlye unlike their own. Ellen sponsors many wonderful organizations. Whether I agree or believe in her lifestyle is irrelevant. She fights for worthwhile causes. To my knowledge she has never been convicted of a crime. She is an entertainer who has the right to make a living by being a sponsor for any organization she chooses. WHY do we continue to judge individuals for their sexual orientation? Are we going back to the days that we are entitled to have slaves because they are black. Is this the new form for racism? For heaven's sake, she is a person who is talented at what she does. She and JCP are not advocating being gay. They are trying to sell a product with a viable and entertaining spokesperson. That is their right. These people that are advocating the removal of Ellen because she is gay are the same people that are telling our President and our government to stay the hell out of our lives. Then LIVE how you Preach. Stay the hell out of a company company's right to make their own business decisions. This is AMERICA. Everyone has an inalienable right to be free and choose their own path. YOU are the problem.!!
Ellen DeGeneres addresses J.C. Penney controversy
New York City -- The popular television talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres said she was "proud and happy" that J.C. Penney remained committed to her after One Million Moms asked the retailer to dump her as a spokesperson because she is gay.
The group, a division of the conservative American Family Association, warned they would boycott J.C. Penney stores if the chain did not go along with their request.
DeGeneres addressed the issue on Tuesday at the taping of her television show. The show will air on Wednesday.
"They wanted to get me fired and I am proud and happy to say that J.C. Penney stuck by their decision to make me their spokesperson," DeGeneres said.
The comedian said that "normally I try not to pay attention to my haters, but this time I'd like to talk about it because my haters are my motivators."
The conservative group accused J.C. Penney of trying to appeal to a new target market by getting on board the "pro-gay bandwagon" with the hiring of DeGeneres.
"Being gay or pro-gay isn't a bandwagon," DeGeneres said at the taping of her show. "You don't get a free ride anywhere. There's no music. And occasionally we'll sing 'We Are Family' but that's about it."
She also poked fun at the group, saying that the One Million Moms group "only has 40,000 members on their [Facebook] page. So they're rounding up to the nearest million and I get that."
DeGeneres has an estimated 9 million followers on Twitter.
Ellen & JCP
JCP Does the Right Thing
I think JCP did the right thing in regards to Ellen. I can respect anyone's point of view regarding religion, morality or even lunch. However, it's great to see a brand to a stand.
The bigger question is if you cave to pressure from interest groups where do you stop? Blacks, Jews, Hindus, Irish or communists can set particular groups off. Many of these groups (Million Moms) have to realize they don't need to protect my children, my parents or my pets from what they believe is right wrong or out of their religious doctrine. Frankly, it's none of their business.
The market will decide and in this case the market has given a thumbs up to Ellen.
Nice job JCP
An association w Ellen is a
An association w Ellen is a great way for JCP to prove what it needs to prove as a brand: that it's part of the 21st century, in step with modern lives. The way the retailer and the star have handled the "controversy" of dunderheaded anti-gay hate speech will help build both "brands" in a positive way.
I am not on facebook, but I am a member of AFA, we are a Christian group just trying to save ourselves from ourselves ! Believe me, there are a least a million Mom's who are concerned about Ms. DeGeneres lifestyle. We're in the business of saving our youth and hoping to put out positive character to represent the future. Ms. DenGenres has free will to choose whatever lifestyle she chooses. We don't agree with her lifestyle and stand on the morals and character of the Bible. Not ashamed of being a member of One Million Moms.
Ellen & JCP
Cool for you! And you have the right to raise your children as you see fit. BUT you do not have the right to raise our children as we see fit. Would you love your child less if he/she was gay? Ellen and JCP are not advocating being gay. They are trying to sell products. Shame on you for using the Bible as your sword. The Bible also teaches to love thy neighbor. Where did you forget that part of the Bible? I've been raised by Catholic parents, Catholic elementary school, high school and even a Catholic college.I have a normal and typical heterosexual family BUT that does not mean that I advocate that this is either good, bad or indifferent? People that are gay did NOT make a choice. It is WHO they are--period. No need to discuss. Do we need to explain why we are heterosexual?? I think NOT! Expand your mind, learn the facts, AND become a good Christian. We live in the 21st century where rights as humans should NOT be challenged. I don't believe that GOD would want us to trample or ignore his LOVE for us ALL!

Meet the winner of Patriotic Pets 2012
6:13pm Friday 22nd June 2012 in Entertainments
FROM Union Jack Russells and truly British bulldogs to regal beagles, hundreds of you entered the Daily Echo Patriotic Pets competition.
Over the Queen's Diamond Jubilee festivities, pets of all shapes and sizes were submitted from across Hampshire as families proved pets can be patriotic too. But the winner just had to be four-year-old Molly who stole the show with her Jubilee get up.
Forget Yeomen of the Guard meet 'Meowman of the Guard' who looks like she is taking her role of being a bodyguard to the British monarch very seriously.
Barbara Carradus, from Hythe, said her daughter Maria made the outfit and managed to get a snap when the puss was sleepy.
She said: "I am so pleased Molly won the competition. Maria makes the cats little outfits and takes pictures when they are just about ready for bed so they stay still. She has even made a calendar before."
Remember Hampshire's very own British boxer family owned by Lorraine Finch who looked set to make an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony?
Louis, Heidi, Tye and Tess, of Bitterne, scooped the runner-up spot and they all look ready to receive their royal prize.
And watch out Prince Wills and Harry because third prize went to cheeky chaps Eric and Arthur the guinea pigs who looked the part in their Union flag hats.
Each of our top three Patriotic Pets owners will receive a goody bag for their furry friends.

During the Civil War, the Uncasville plant now known as Thomas G. Faria, was a textile mill that manufactured both Union and Confederate uniforms, Faria CEO David Hickey said. That didn't last long: "Didn't go over too well." But the plant has survived the centuries.
The floors throughout the 200-year-old plant are original like much of the rest of the buildings that make up the plant where 150 workers build instrumentation (gauges, mostly) for vehicles from motorcycles and boats to Humvees for the military.
Faria employed more than 320 workers just five years ago, that is until the contracts for Harley Davidson and Mustang instrumentation were awarded to manufacturers that could build cheaper gauges – because they outsourced labor.
But of the 150 workers that remain, scores could be seen Wednesday during a tour engaged in skilled work -- manufacturing gauges and tachometers bound for the marine and auto industry as well as analog and digital engine monitoring equipment; transitioning from electric and mechanical gauges to electronic hardware and software circuitry. Workers create instrumentation for industrial and construction equipment to stylish boats and yachts to the rugged Humvee.
One worker, Rosalie Sutton of Montville has worked at the plant for more than 30 years.
"I started in 1974, so what's that," she asked jokingly.
By her side was Stan Wanico, of Norwich, who has been at Faria for 27 years: "Yes, that's a long, long time."

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. — One women is dead and four others were injured in a two-car, head-on crash on south U.S. 25 near the Fariston tunnel Wednesday evening.
Nora Penix, 47, of London, who was driving a red Ford Focus, was taken to Saint Joseph London with critical injuries and died a short time later. The driver of a blue Chevy Cobalt, Holbert Collier, 68, of London was taken to Saint Joseph London. Three passengers in the Cobalt, Gene Collier, 70, of London; Sandra Thompson, 45, of London; and a 2-year-old female were airlifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center with serious injuries.
Laurel County Sheriff John Root said Sheriff's Lt. Chuck Johnson along with Sgt. Richard Dalryple are reconstructing the fatal traffic crash which occurred about six miles south of London shortly after 6 p.m.
According to investigating deputies, Penix was northbound on U.S. 25 when a vehicle in front of her stopped abruptly to turn left onto Fariston Road. Penix swerved to the left to avoid a collision and hit Holbert Collier head on who was traveling southbound.
Pam Chadwell, Holbert Collier's niece, said he "has a broken arm, ribs and leg," and was about to undergo surgery as of Thursday morning. Gene Collier, who is Holbert's brother, is in critical condition. According to Chadwell, he has a rod in one of his legs, both hips are broken and he has bleeding on the brain.
No information was available on the condition of Sandra Thompson or the 2-year-old child.
Funeral services for Penix will be held at noon Saturday at Bowling Funeral Home. Visitation will be after 5 p.m. Friday (today).
Assisting at the scene were Sheriff's Senior Sgt. Greg Poynter, Deputy Larry Parrott, and Deputy Kevin Berry, Ambulance Inc. of Laurel County, London-Laurel Rescue Squad, E.M.S., and Lily Volunteer Fire Department.

'Outstanding' January TSP returns lead to record $302B account balance
Monday - 2/6/2012, 9:39pm EST
Trabucco called it a "big jump" from the end of December, when the TSP balance was $294.7 billion. The increase was bolstered by "outstanding returns" last month, he added. It's the first time the TSP has ever crossed the $300 billion mark, Trabucco said.
Trabucco said the TSP's size — it's the largest retirement plan in dollars and participants — helps to put the numbers in context. "Where the people are, the money's going to follow," he said. "As long as they're putting their money in — and they are."
In fact, participation numbers for January also increased, Trabucco said. The number of FERS contributors increased from about 2,020,000 to about 2,052,000, he said.
On the Roth TSP front, Trabucco said the Federal Register will publish draft regulations for the new plan Wednesday. "All of this is leading up to the rollout" in the next few months he added.

Dan Rafuse, a senior at Norton High School, was selected as the recipient of the MIAA Student-Athlete of the Month Award for December 2012.
A member of the Norton High School basketball and outdoor track teams, the 18-year-old serves as a captain of both squads. He is the leading scorer on the basketball team and top defensive player. As a starter during his junior year, Rafuse helped lead the Norton basketball team to its first ever Tri-Valley League Championship and first boys' basketball league championship in 24 seasons. During his first year on the outdoor track team as a junior, Rafuse became the Tri-Valley League champion in the triple jump and helped lead the Lancers to an undefeated season and first ever Tri-Valley League championship as well.
"I feel honored to have been given such an exclusive award that includes a very small amount of students," Rafuse said. "To be named something like that is a testament to my personal hard work but also the work of those individuals that helped me get to this point. Things like this aren't received very often so naturally I wasn't expecting it."
Academically, Rafuse has earned a 3.75 GPA while taking a challenging course load of advanced placement and honors courses. He is known for his positive attitude and is very involved in student leadership activities within the school. As a member of the Norton Leadership Council, Rafuse assists the school administration in conducting programs for underclassmen while working with younger students as a role model and peer leader. In addition, Rafuse has been a leader for the DECA program in the school, helping to increase participation in the business program.
"He has superb organizational and communication skills and uses his unrivaled work ethic to be successful at everything he engages in," said Norton High School teacher and coach Marc Liberatore. "His awesome interpersonal skills allow him to be a natural leader in the classroom for his fellow peers during group projects and activities. Simply put, Dan is the total package that every teacher, coach and advisor hope for and he truly epitomizes the word student-athlete. His leadership skills have garnered him two historic league championships, but more importantly, the total respect of the entire school community."
Rafuse's favorite sport is basketball and has been since he was a child.
"To see it leave my life in the next month will be very difficult," he said.
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) Student-Athlete of the Month Award is presented on a monthly basis to one male and one female student-athlete who display excellence in the areas of academics, athletics and community service. Students in grades 9 through 12 who attend MIAA member schools are eligible to receive the award. Monthly award winners will receive a certificate of recognition and be featured on MIAA.net. Nominations for the award may be submitted by principals, athletic directors, teachers, coaches, guidance counselors or other school administrators. A complete list of award recipients and finalists can be found under the Educational Athletics and Leadership sections at www.miaa.net.

This is an important and exciting time at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. The process of Developing a Shared Vision Together ushered in at the beginning of this academic year is entering the final and culminating stage. I have been gratified that members of the various "new dimensions of excellence" task forces have been very busy fulfilling the charges of their respective groups. I gather that the surveys, analysis, data collection, debates and more surveys have left many a little exhausted but nonetheless appreciative of an inclusive process-with wide-ranging contributions from community members. To facilitate the completion of this process and to further the inclusivity that has characterized it, my office will be scheduling meetings with members of our campus community in the coming weeks.
Over the next week or so, the chairperson of each task force will soon complete a report of task force activity, including the set of findings and recommendations that emerged from their deliberations. These reports will be finished and submitted to my office by March 7th, and will shortly thereafter be made available online for review and comment by the UPJ Community. Subsequently, to gather input from all constituencies, I will be meeting with UPJ faculty members, staff, students, Advisory Board and others to discuss task force findings, recommendations and outcomes and to solicit further input. By the end of April, a long-range plan will be developed based on the shared vision surveys, the administrative and academic program reviews and the reports and recommendations of the task forces, and campus input. This completed plan will be made available before the end of the academic year.
I want to take this opportunity to thank the members of our community, especially the chairs of the task forces and the various subsections, for doing the bulk of the work that will enable the community to have an updated long-range plan to facilitate our endeavor to launch a New Dimension of Excellence for UPJ. I understand that this planning activity is an additional duty over and above your tireless efforts to educate and serve our students everyday. On behalf of the University, we are especially grateful for such sterling service.
Mountain Cat Proud!
Jem Spectar, President

Changing China
Giant on the move
If Michael Phelps were to declare independence
This is a long shot, I know, but if Michael Phelps suddenly decided to break away from the United States and declare himself a sovereign nation, he'd currently be joint-fourth in the medals table at the Olympics — level with the U.S.
A glance to the right of this blog will show China leading with 20 golds and the U.S. second on 10. Phelps has won, or helped win five of those and with three more in his sights over the last few days of the swimming he could take his personal tally to eight.
That would put him out on his own in second.
Phelps, of course, would have to re-swim the relay races, completing each leg himself, but the way he's going at the moment you wouldn't put anything past him.
It'd be interesting to hear what he'd go for as a national anthem. How about some of the hip-hop he listens to all the time? A bit of Young Jeezy would liven up the medals ceremonies quite a bit…

Browns They Said It: Week Six
The following are quotes from the Browns' media availability on Thursday. Quotes are from transcripts provided by the team.
The Browns signed Nelson to a one-year contract Monday.||||||| Nelson, who played three seasons for Buffalo, is coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered in last season's opener. The 6-foot-5, 214-pounder started 17 games for the Bills, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2010. Nelson had 94 catches for 1,042 yards and eight touchdowns with the Bills. In 2011, he was second on the club in catches (61) and receiving yards (658). He also had five TDs.
Nelson is preparing to become a free agent after the Buffalo Bills informed the third-year player they will not extend him a contract offer to retain his rights. General manager Buddy Nix says he informed Nelson's agent of the decision Sunday. The Bills reached a similar decision with receiver Donald Jones earlier this month.||||||| The move wasn't entirely a surprise for Nelson, who anticipated the possibility after the Bills fired coach Chan Gailey. Doug Marrone was hired to take over last month. An undrafted free agent out of Florida, Nelson was a dependable contributor during his first two years, with a combined 92 catches for 1,011 yards and eight touchdowns. Last year, he never made it past the season opener, when he tore a right knee ligament.
Nelson was placed on injured reserve this week.||||||| Nelson will miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in his right knee during Buffalo's 48-28 loss at the New York Jets in the opener.
A person familiar with Buffalo Bills receiver David Nelson's injury says the player has a torn ligament in his right knee and is expected to miss the rest of the season. Nelson was hurt early into the fourth quarter of Sunday's 48-24 loss to the New York Jets when he went down away from the play. After being helped off the field, he was spotted walking on the injured leg along the sideline.||||||| The person provided the update on Monday after Nelson had tests Monday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team has not provided an update. The third year player had become a favorite target of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick last season, when he finished second on the team with 61 catches for 658 yards and five touchdowns.
Nelson and center Eric Wood are among the regulars who have been ruled out by coach Chan Gailey from playing in the team's preseason opener against the Washington Redskins on Thursday.||||||| Nelson was limited to participating in individual drills on Monday in his first practice since spraining his right knee on July 28, three days into training camp.

Whether it's no one at the host stand to greet you, overly perky waiters wearing vests with 'flair,' or a mixologist sneering from behind the bar at your libation of choice, there are serious red flags when you walk into a restaurant that the meal ahead is going to be nothing but bad news bears.
Sure, there are a few exceptions where the food speaks louder than the curmudgeonly waitstaff - but don't say Sean Elder, editor in chief of the digital food magazine Real Eats, didn't warn you.
Five Things You Never Want to Hear in a Restaurant: Sean Elder

Turnips, long a vegetabilis non-grata in my kitchen. Their positive attributes - juicy interior, good nutritional value and attractive appearance - never made up for their bitterness and I'm a bitter gal. Aperol, Campari, dark chocolate, citrus peel, love them all - except the turnip.
Yet last Monday, after a hectic day at work, I found myself at my dining room table swooning over a plate of turnips, ones I had prepared no less. And I never would have gotten there if I didn't shop with local farmers.

The was recently honored after receiving a first place finish in the 46-75 officer category of the New Jersey Law Enforcement Challenge for the fifth year in a row.
The Law Enforcement Challenge is a competition between similar sizes and types of law enforcement agencies. It recognizes and rewards the best overall traffic safety programs in the United States. The areas of concentration include efforts to enforce laws and educate the public about occupant protection, impaired driving, and speeding. The wining safety programs are those that combine officer training, public information, and enforcement to reduce crashes and injuries within its jurisdiction. The township of Cranford saw a 32 percent decrease in injury related crashes in 2011.
The Cranford Police Department also finished the competition with the highest overall score for all department categories. For placing first overall, the department received a Whelen Liberty light bar from Mobile Fleet, LLC. valued at $3,500. The Whelen light bar will be used to replace an older model currently in its fleet.
The Law Enforcement Challenge is financed through a grant awarded to the International Association of Chief's of Police by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Both of these organizations believe an increase in traffic enforcement in a community results in a decrease in motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities. The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police has established its own state Challenge program along with the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — I have to start getting my 'game-face' on. I'm golfing in a league this year for the first time. Serious stuff – league competition. Okay, I'll admit it: it's not that serious and if truth be told, I'm not much competition for anyone. But it's something different for me.
Bill Ossont, a retired phys-ed teacher in Medina — who lives in Lockport — is spearheading the "The 2013 Larry Decker Memorial Medina Teachers Golf League at Shelridge Country Club" this year. He's done such for the past several years. Guys, like Bill, work tirelessly to field these athletic activities so guys like myself can recreate and ask inane questions like: "Do you think you could possibly make the league's title just a little bit longer?" (Larry Decker, by the way, was a beloved Medina teacher/football coach and dear friend of Bill's. Great guy!)
Neither my playing partner, Dave Bellucci, nor I have ever taught school. (Although both of our wives did.) Nonetheless, as newcomers to the league, we understand that there are probably rules in place and protocol to follow. Rules that have become second-nature to teachers; rules that are ingrained in their psyches and everyday life. Dave and I will have to adjust to their job-related quirks.
I'm talking about things like: the threat of being sent to Mr. David Green's golf-pro's office, if we talk when someone is putting; bringing in permission slips from our parents or guardians if we want to drive the golf cart; and understanding that lackluster-play excuses such as 'the dog ate my golf clubs' just won't fly with people who — over the years — have heard every alibi ever concocted from the genius minds of conniving teenagers.
And from what I've heard, golf is more intense with this group. Besides Ossont, there are several other WNY football coaches in the mix — Nick Benedetti and Dick Diminuco to name a few. To put it mildly, they're a strange breed. There's word going around that if you break a rule of etiquette on the green with this crowd, they'll throw a penalty flag and assess you an extra 15 yards on your next putt.
