The rain did not dampen the Valdosta State Blazers' fire against the Shorter Hawks.
In the first half, the Blazers managed to put up 13 points with the help of an 18 yard run by running back Austin Scott and a 22 yard touchdown catch from quarterback Cayden Cochran to Seantavious Jones.
Despite a 13-0 halftime lead over the Hawks, the
first half was lackluster for the defending champs, only gaining 149 yards of total offense with possession of the ball for just under seven minutes. The Hawks significantly outgained the Blazers in total offense and time of possession, with 198 yards going into halftime and ball possession for 23 minutes, but no score on the board.
After being held without a catch in the first half, receiver Regginald Lewis caught a pass on the Blazers first drive of the 3rd quarter, taking it all the way to the house for a 65 yard touchdown.
"Not having a catch in the first half was good for me because it kept me focused on the game. After every series I didn't get a catch, I kept telling the team on my first catch, I'm taking it to the house," said Lewis.
The Blazer offense heated up in the second half, scoring on three of their first four drives in the 3rd quarter.
"Offensively we didn't get the ball much in the first. Getting the touchdown in the second half really fired up the team," said Valdosta State Head Coach David Dean.
Cochran went 7-16 for 74 yards in the first half, only to come out in the second half on fire. Cochran connected for two touchdowns, one to Lewis and the other to fullback Tevin Davis. Cochran finished 11-23 for 177 yards and three touchdowns before being taken out of the game to give backup Caleb Nobles some practice snaps.
"Early in the first half, I think he [Cochran] let the weather get to him. But we talked to him about it and he adjusted in the end," said Dean.
The running game played an important factor in the win for the Blazers, collecting 240 combined rushing yards for the night.
Austin Scott led the team with 12 carries for 125 yards and two touchdowns, running a long one in for 45 yards in the third quarter.
"The o-line did their job up front and gave me a lot of room to run," said Scott after the game.
Cedric O' Neal also had a nice game, running the ball 8 times for 65 yards and breaking open on a 38 yard run to earn a touchdown score on the night. O' Neal fumbled the ball on the VSU 1 yard line early in the game but was able to bounce back for the Blazers.
"I fumbled the ball. It was rainy and wet, but that's not an excuse. I should have held the ball high and tight. I think I bounced back pretty well. When Coach Dean called the [run] play, the o-line did some great blocks, and I saw a seam and kept running for the touchdown," said O' Neal.
The "Black Swarm" defense was outstanding against the Hawks read option offense, causing havoc in the backfield with 10 tackles for losses and four fumble recoveries. The defense did not get any interceptions but they held the Hawks to just 312 yards of total offense. The Hawks had averaged 392 yards a game so far this season until the game.
The Blazer defense was able to hold Shorter to zero points, their first shut out in three years since beating University of North Alabama 5-0 on October 14, 2010.
"This was a very big shut out for us. We haven't done it in a long time and it was needed," said linebacker Jeremy Grable.
"I always like for the guys to have a shut out. It's the first one we've had in a while, and we've been close a few times, but I'm really proud of the defensive staff and players for getting one in the first home game of the season," said Dean.
"The offense we played is about assignment football and everyone did their job tonight," added Grable.
Safety Lance Holder and and linebacker Chris Pope lead the team in tackles with 9 a piece and were key on a couple of defensive stops for the Blazers, including a forced fumble by Holder.
Pope continues to chase the VSU record for most tackles in a career, bringing his season tackle total to 14. Pope is currently 64 tackles away from breaking the record.
"They were a good offense but we had two weeks to prepare for them. We studied them and learned their tendencies. Good hard work payed off in the end for us," said Pope.
Moving to 2-0 on the young season, the defending Division II National Champions are gearing up to prepare for their next game against Angelo State, a team VSU beat last season in Cowboys Stadium, now called AT&T Stadium, in Arlington, Texas.
The Blazers will kickoff against the Angelo State Rams at 7 p.m at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium next Saturday.

Google's Schmidt: Android winning mobile war over Apple
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt compared Android's growing lead over Apple in mobile software to Microsoft's software rise in the 1990s, in a Bloomberg Businessweek interview. "This is a huge platform change; this is of the scale of 20 years ago — Microsoft versus Apple," Schmidt said. "We're winning that war pretty clearly now." Android took 72 percent of the market in the third quarter, to Apple's 14 percent, according to technology research company Gartner, Inc. However, those numbers belie the two companies' differing business models when it comes to mobile software, as Google gives away its Android operating system to numerous third-party hardware developers, while Apple limits iOS to its own products.

iOS still maintains 85%+ of mobile web traffic. That's what generates the $$ and what should really be the important factor
Posted by Yawn on December 12, 2012 at 10:33 AM (PDT)
The raw numbers in terms of installed base are indeed very much in Android's favor, but Android's monetization has yet to prove superior in the larger market in spite of such a lop sided market share advantage.
First, there's no direct profit for the OS itself. So, while it is obvious Google believes in it for now and continues to throw a lot of money at it, there's no solid reason to assume that will continue in perpetuity. Once the business model changes, all bets are off. Most of Google's partners are supporting them because Google is effectively giving them many millions of dollars worth of R&D and licensing every year for free, allowing both carriers and hardware makers to push their products at a seemingly lower price point than Apple or Microsoft's yet pocketing a greater profit margin. What happens if Google decided they need to actually make something off of all this work beyond PR and fuzzy feelings? Or just handed off the project back to the open source community where it started?
Second, the 3rd party Android app market place is a hot mess, a *deliberate* choice on Google's part, and while the gap has narrowed in recent years, Apple is still obviously ahead in terms of top shelf 3rd party developers. Until Google can find some way to close the developer game completely or, better yet, surpass Apple in courting first rate developers, Android is going to largely be 'whatever it was that came with my "free" phone' or a nearly unrecognizable mod (e.g. Amazon's Kindle).
Last, while it may wind up there, likening this to the Apple vs. Microsoft battle in the 90s seems premature and distorting of the context. Apple didn't just fail because of ever widening market share matters, they failed because a majority of people actively preferred Windows (no matter what the fruit faithful tell themselves, I should know, I made the switch in 1998 and never regretted it once). Conversely, I have a single friend who is familiar with both Android and iOS and prefers Android, all the others have already made the switch to iOS or wish they could but haven't yet for carrier/contract reasons. Unlike the Mac, the iPhone is still what most people who actually care consider the gold standard. Until that changes, market share is only a small part of the story.

I worked for Eric Schmidt at Sun Microsystems. Great Guy. Very smart and talented for an executive. That said, I use both Android 4.21 and iOS 6.0.1 everyday. While users can have more control over Android, the apps, tight integration and easy of use on iOS is much, much better. I tend to have fun on my Android devices like the Nexus 7 - I really use my iPhone and iPad for business and real serious / stable work and integration with PC and Macs.
Posted by Tekkies on December 12, 2012 at 5:25 PM (PDT)
I think basically you're up the creek either way. With iOS, you get exactly what Apple wants you to have (for good or bad). With Android, you get what's left after the carriers add bloatware and disable features.
Schmidt and co. can brag all they want about Android but a good portion of their success is due to Apple's self-inflicted black eye - otherwise known as the AT&T exclusivity agreement.
Posted by Paul A. on December 13, 2012 at 3:52 PM (PDT)
"a good portion of their success is due to Apple's self-inflicted black eye - otherwise known as the AT&T exclusivity agreement"
Absolutely. If the iPhone had been available across the board like early Android phones were I'd bet the picture would be very, very different. Right or wrong, in much of the country, you have little choice of carrier, ergo, you have little choice to buy a smartphone when they inanely link themselves to a single carrier that is substandard where you live.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is going to have his hands full running for re-election in Kentucky next year, according to a poll released Tuesday.
And the same poll showed the junior senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul, is far more popular among Kentucky voters than McConnell, the leader of Senate Republicans.
Kentucky's junior senator, Rand Paul, finished third among a group of eight potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates, according to a poll released this week.
The Quinnipiac University poll showed among 712 voters who described themselves as Republicans Paul had 15 percent support for the GOP nomination, bested only by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida (19 percent) and the 2012 vice presidential nominee, Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan (17 percent).
Kentucky's junior senator, Rand Paul, was the narrow favorite for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination in a straw poll this weekend of over 3,000 conservative activists from around the country.
CPAC (the Conservative Political Action Committee) held a three-day gathering in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C.; and participants voted online for who they would like to see carry the presidential banner for the GOP in 2016.
Sen. Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican who has hinted at a possible run for the presidency in 2016, will be the featured speaker next month at the Northeast Hamilton County Republican Club's annual pancake breakfast.
Paul - the son of former Libertarian and GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul - has been dropping broad hints about 2016, but that year is also the year when his U.S. Senate seat is up for re-election. And, under Kentucky election law, Paul would have to choose one or the other.
Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan literally rolled right into a Cincinnati steel company. His campaign bus drove into the warehouse.

Clearly you have a lovely home & have done a great job, but I don't understand how you're calling it a Farmhouse...I've never seen a farmhouse that looks like this...and judging by the other pictures you've shared, you're home use to be a late 1970's early 80's rancher...that you've basically built a brand new home over...and yet, you're calling it a farmhouse...i think for those of us actually fixing up old homes, this just seems confusing, maybe it's just for the blog?

The house was built in 1923. It was an old sheep farm, with an additional peach orchard. The original farmhouse did not have a dormer or a wraparound porch, we added those. Everything else was built ninety years ago.

- March 25, 2013 at 8:39 AM
Such a beautiful and serene space Trina! Absolutely lovely.
I found Fran's comment to you to be rude and uneducated, if I may say so. The Farmhouse as a architectural style is a hybrid of styles. It does not have a defined definition like other styles, i.e. Colonial, Federal, Arts and Crafts, Greek Revival, etc.
Here is a good link to explain to Fran the history of a farmhouse... it actually describes your house to a "t"!
Have a great day!

I am so envious of all the heirlooms you have from your family...that's truly wonderful!
I would give anything for that! I just turned 30 & my husband & I are fixing up our first home (it's a farmhouse too). I've been antiquing most of my life, but I don't have anything from my own family...it makes me really sad sometimes. I was just too young when everyone was still alive to ask them to save items for me - I had no idea what was ahead of me.
I wish I did, because I really miss them all & I'd love some physical reminders of them in my home...sorry for such a ramble...anyways, you're very lucky. :) xx

text: Los Angeles magazine writer Dave Gardetta profiled estate sale maven Cynthia Abernethy in our pages in 2010. I'm a big fan of her sales and attend regularly. She's got the best houses, she's always cordial and extremely fair to her regular customers. However, if you break her rules, the hammer comes down. This weeks' choice quote from Cynthia's email dispatch: " You got to love these arrogant guys who drive by, see the sign, stop in and think that they are going to get one over on me. A member of my team alerted me to him and his style, which is not going to be serving him well. "How much for all of this jewelry?" It does not work like that, she politely tells him. "Well then how about all of the postcards?" No we don't do that either. So once she nodded in his direction, he was on my radar. He's got his magnifier out thinking he's going to find some gold I missed. By now he's starting to get on our nerves and I'm thinking I had not had eject anyone yet. I personally sort and look at every piece of jewelry, so I know what is there. I make small grab bags of broken parts for people who like to create their own stuff, I never put an intact piece in those bags. Finally he brings his little $5.00 bag of parts up to pay...but another sharp eyed staff member notices a pin he snuck into the bag with the broken pieces. He can not understand why I am throwing him out and not letting him buy his bag of goodies. Good riddance! One of those guys forever looking for a $10.00 Rolex."

Conditions of Access
Computers that connect to the campus network must meet the Conditions of Access (COA).
What are the Conditions of Access?
All computers that connect to Illinois State University's network must meet the Conditions of Access (COA):
Approved Anti-Virus
The University requires all computers connecting to the campus network to have a University-approved anti-virus application installed. The following anti-virus products qualify:
- Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows
- ClamXAV for Mac OS X
You must also make sure that your anti-virus application is enabled and up-to-date. Visit the Technology Support Center Downloads page to download and install an anti-virus application.
Security Updates
The University also requires you to install all available security updates for your computer's operating system, as well as updates for installed software like Flash and Java.
Any computer that fails to comply with the Conditions of Access may be taken offline until it can be updated so it meets the requirements.
Why have conditions for access?
Internet threats reduce your ability to use your computer for academic pursuits, research, and public service.
- Viruses and other malware cause major problems. In a short time, a single infected computer can infect many other unprotected computers, which can lead to network interruptions or failure.
- Protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Vulnerable computers can be used by hackers and viruses to launch attacks that deny everyone access to important servers and services.
- Security is everyone's responsibility. You need to do your part to keep the campus network safe for yourself and others.
Why do I have to use the university-approved anti-virus?
You must remove your anti-virus software and install a University-approved version. This University requires this for a few reasons.
- Efficiency - It is more efficient for the University to support a few approved anti-virus applications than to support several.
- No Cost to You - Microsoft Security Essentials and ClamXAV are available at no cost.
- Conflicts - You must remove your existing anti-virus software because if you have more than one anti-virus product installed at the same time, it will cause a conflict which will lead to additional problems.

When Kim Whiteford's company was acquired in April for the third time, she lost her job. But instead of becoming the latest victim of a poor economy, Whiteford took charge of her future.
On July 23, just three months after being laid off, Whiteford, who has lived in Pasadena for 30 years, opened Crav'n Ravens on Fort Smallwood Road.
"After a month of searching for a job I just decided, 'You know what? I am going to just do what I love and love what I do,'" Whiteford said. "I spent my life making money for other people, so I am going to do what I want to do and here I am."
Well, what Whiteford wanted to do was share her passion for Ravens football with everyone, and she certainly did that with Crav'n Ravens.
The store features everything a Ravens fan could want including clothing, pictures, bedspreads, bar furniture and all kinds of accessories. Crav'n Ravens also hosts autograph signings with different players. Over the past season, they had a different player come to the store each week to sign autographs.
The autograph signing, coupled with the store's unique items, has made Crav'n Ravens successful, allowing Whiteford to expand into a second floor for the store.
"My goal was to open the second floor in April of [2012] but within 45 days of being here I had to expand to the second floor," Whiteford said. "And I opened during the lockout and was even busy during that. It has been awesome."
Apart from supplying Ravens fans with all the gear they could ever need, Whiteford has a special passion for women football fans. An entire section of the store's second floor is being called Women Cave, and will be completely devoted to everything a girl could need to be a fan.
"I really like having things a female fan would want," Whiteford said. "We are doing bachelorette themed Ravens stuff, like for bachelorette parties. And we are partnering up with some other people in the community to do weddings and floral arrangements. Just different things for the female fans, that's my focus as well."
Upon walking into Crav'n Ravens, customers can't help but notice Whiteford's spirit and passion.
"I grew up with eight brothers so I was always very sports-oriented. Ravens football was always a passion of mine," she said. "However, my favorite part is the people. My customers are awesome."

In his reelection/inaugural speech on Jan. 19th, State GOP Chair, Kirby Wilbur, announced, "I voted for Mitt Romney and Rob McKenna and I'm not ashamed because the worst Republican is better than the best Democrat!"
It could have been a fitting introduction to the Roanoke Conference six days later. Because for three days, Wilbur – and the Conference – pondered how the Party could continue to run Washington State's worst Republicans – the kind for whom Wilbur has worked overtime securing nominations – and still find a way to stop their epidemic of losses to the best Democrats. *
And over the course of the Conference the latest "New Direction" emerged. (more…)

The Moses Lake Meeting of the 2012 Washington State GOP Credentials Committee was an atrocity.
All the authorities agree; the RNC rules, the WSRP rules, Robert Rules of Order… there must be a "call to convention," a notice given to the qualified delegates of the place and time and inviting their participation to make it a valid Convention. Each authority stipulates rules for that call explicitly.

Today, Thursday, December 1, 2011, exactly six days shy of the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a majority of oath-breaking U.S. Senators will, barring the successful intervention of patriots, launch a major attack on the Constitution.
The U.S. Senate will vote on, and is expected to pass S.1867, the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012." Embedded in it, though no longer hidden, is the effective repeal of the Bill of Rights.
It has long been predicted that confronted by invasion or severe shortages or civil unrest, the general public, even Americans, will cry out for order so desperately they will beg for a dictator to save them. (more…)

The war to save the Republic will be won or lost INSIDE the GOP.
The greatest enemies to American Freedom are GOP "moderates." Specifically, the "pragmatist" elite for whom loyalty to leadership (as long as they still control it) trumps principle. Masquerading as "conservative," breaking rules as necessary, they have steered the Party into gradually compromising away our freedoms for the last hundred years. Their greatest enemy? Constitutionalists.

Mainstream Republicans of Washington has lost the name of their challenger to Pam Roach's Senate seat, but as of this morning, they don't know why. They have not announced that the endorsement, itself, is withdrawn, nor whether, if it is withdrawn, they will continue to support him quietly.

Mainstream Executive Director Alex Hays didn't want to say anything about the reasons for the withdrawal of the Mainstream candidate's name until he had talked with Matt Richardson.

WASHINGTON — As part of an escalating offensive against extremist targets in Pakistan, the United States is deploying Predator aircraft equipped with sophisticated new surveillance systems that were instrumental in crippling the insurgency in Iraq, according to U.S. military and intelligence officials.
The use of the specially equipped drones comes amid a fundamental shift in U.S. strategy in the area. After years of deferring to Pakistani authorities, the Bush administration is turning toward unilateral American military operations -- a gambit that could increase pressure on Islamic militants but risks alienating a country that has been a key counter-terrorism ally.

Birkdale Places First Annual Putting Contest Is A Resounding Success
Birkdale Place, a beautiful Ontario retirement community, hosted its first annual putting contest, a four-week event that pitted the men against the women. This contest was just one of many activities that the residents enjoy for a sense of community
In its first annual Masters Putting Contest held at the end of summer,
Birkdale Place
enjoyed a great turnout for the four-week-long event. The women narrowly defeated the men in this lively and fun competition that highlighted one of the many
activities the retirement home's residents enjoy
Birkdale Place hosted their first annual Masters Putting Contest during the last weeks of August and first of September, in a four-round, four-week-long test of putting skills that had a great turnout and positive reception from residents and staff alike. Hosted by the retirement community's own Peter Fisher, the event pitted the men against the women, with the women narrowly taking the prize.
Chris Jewitt and John Woods, owners of Birkdale, were of course enthusiastic to join in the fun. However, the fierce (but well-spirited) competition soon drove John to desperate ends with his attempt at using a hockey stick as his putting weapon of choice in the third round, but to no avail. The retirement community's ladies fought back with a vengeance and proved their putting talents by becoming the first victors in the annual indoor contest. "We had a lot of fun with the putting contest, and the awards ceremony was terrific," said John.
"These are the kinds of events we're going to continue to have because it keeps us in touch with our amazing residents in a fun and relaxing way," Chris added. Birkdale Place plans to continue the Masters Putting Contest next year in the hopes that the men will have honed their putting skills for a chance at the prize.
John, Chris, and their staff recognize a retirement community's need for activities and special events as a way to bring together its residents in friendship and mutual support. They're excited that the residents are embracing such new events as the putting contest, and hope that this winter's upcoming events and activities will continue in the same friendly spirit that's healthful for both body and mind.

I ordered a whelping box and weaning pen from Jonart
out of Milford Minnesota. Maggie was born in Minnesota and she
highly recommends anything that has any thing to do with her, no matter
how remote.
The order arrived in two boxes in good order.
Shipping and handling was $170 to bring it to my door in Massachusetts.
Since, in the winter, our nursery moves to the cellar to
give the new mom and pups some privacy from the other members of the pack,
we were concerned about the cold concrete floor.
One of the features that we liked about Jonart was the
(blue) insulation which goes on the bottom of the floor panels.
Here, a floor panel is shown upside down to expose the insulation
Assembly was actually quite easy requiring only long
carriage bolts and black twist knobs that hold it together. I'm sure
it didn't take more than 15 minutes or so to bring assembly to this level.
The baby bumpers or what Jonart refers to as pig rails
are also easy to assemble. Four long pieces each with collars on the
bottom into which you press pre-cut legs.
Then, the bumper assembly simply is dropped carefully
into place.
I suggest you do this carefully with 2 people if
convenient. This is because if you lower the back side (in this pic)
first and then lower the front side, there is a risk that the legs will
catch on the frame and could potentially break.
With the bumpers removed, it's easy to see the full size
of the door, the long carriage bolts, and a lightweight non-scuffing
mallet (not a hammer) that I used to persuade the bolts to go through the
holes in the wall panels. If you choose this approach, tap lightly.
Although the unit seems pretty solid, PVC can be broken.
I like the doors. They give you a lot of
flexibility with 4 different sizes simply by putting in no doors (fully
open as shown above), either the low or the higher door, and finally, both
This may seem more than you need, but I'm hear to tell
you that Newfies grow VERY fast and you'll want to increase the height of
this door from week to week.
So, we're all set to go.
Looks like there is plenty of room here now. But
you have to consider that Newfies commonly hit double digit litter sizes,
particularly after the first litter which tends to be smaller.
So let the mommy wannabe poke around in the whelping pen.
Cheryl needed to know that there would be room for mommy, her, and the
pups to all pig pile together.
The heat lamp is set up, but I'm thinking it may be a
little close to the wall panel. I also won't want it right in the
door way. Consider this pic a bit contrived. We'll have to
consider heat lamp placement carefully when we actually launch.

A little about me...
What in the name of all that's holy am I supposed to write here? Is this where I tell you I'm a great guy and would be a wonderful catch? Well, the truth is you'd have to decide that for yourself. So, should I tell you I'm a funny man and can make you laugh? Spend a little time with me and you'll learn that about me for yourself. Okay, maybe I'm supposed to tell you I'm loyal to friends to a fault? Well now, my friends would tell you that so why should I do it here.
I've got what I believe is one heckuva idea for what to write here. I'm myself, and one thing anyone will appreciate about me is I don't change with the shifting winds. I'm easy to get to know, easy to talk to and I enjoy people. I'm one of those people who accepts people as they are. Please don't look at me as someone you might change to become what you want. It won't happen. You see, I'm really good at being myself but would totally suck at being what I'm not.
Nor will I ask you to change. I'll accept you as you are if things click. And if things don't click, I'll give you a really friendly hug and wish you all the best things in life. My hope will also be we can become friends. I don't know about you, but I don't think anyone can ever have too many friends.
About the one I'm looking for...
Don't you just hate writing stuff for these thingies? I do. What am I looking for? This seems like I'm at a car dealership ordering a new car with all the accessories I'd like. Tell you what, if you like what you've read about me, and I like what I read about you, we'll see where it goes from there. If not, here's to you and here's to me. Either way, have a great life.
I'd just like to add...
There is a quote I ran across from John Lennon that says a lot about me. Allow me to share it with you here. He said, "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
John Lennon was absolutely right. I'm happy with my life, where I'm at in my life and don't need someone to make me happy. I don't want to be with someone that needs me to make them happy either. If we each bring our own happiness to the table, then we have the foundation that will allow us to enhance one another's happiness. Never will I ask you to accept responsibility for my happiness, and I'll not be responsible for your happiness either. But I'll tell you this, I'll sure do all I can to enhance the happiness of someone I come to love.

A Political Show Trial in the Northern District: Oberlin-Wellington Fugitive Slave Rescue Case
Document Type
Chapter of Book
Publication Date
slavery, abolitionists, Fugutive Slave Law, Oberlin-Wellington Rescue (1858), due process, fair trial
This chapter from Justice and Legal Change on the Shores of Lake Erie, examines the first important cases ever heard by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The cases, known as the Oberlin-Wellington Fugitive Slave Cases -- stemmed out of the rescue of a fugitive slave from the custody of a professional slave catcher. The fugitive was seized in Oberlin, and taken to nearby Wellington, and held in hotel while the slave catchers waiting for a train to take them to Columbus. Meanwhile, a mob -- consisting mostly of Oberlin residents, including many Oberlin College faculty and students and a few dozen African Americans -- surrounded the hotel and eventually rescued the fugitive. Scores of people were indicted, and two were convicted after trials that violated numerous aspects of due process. This chapter details these trials.

Mayor Kim Driscoll has drafted a city ordinance that would require the mayor to reappoint or replace committee members within 180 days of their term's expiration.
Members of the city's various boards and committees often continue to serve long after their terms expire — sometimes one or more years. It's a long-standing issue that has happened through numerous mayors.
Driscoll submitted her ordinance to the council this week; they voted to send it to committee for discussion.
As written, Driscoll's ordinance would require any board or committee member not reappointed within 180 days to leave his or her post.
"We all wish to see our system of municipal boards strengthened," Driscoll wrote in a June 27 letter to councilors. "... (Board members) and the residents of our city deserve to have as transparent, functional and balanced a board system as we can create."
In Salem, the mayor selects and recommends residents for appointment to nonelected boards and committees. The City Council votes to give final approval of each appointment.
The city has more than 30 boards, from the Bike Path Committee to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Ward 6 Councilor Paul Prevey began focusing on Salem's problem with not-so-timely board reappointments this spring after he noticed a majority of Salem boards and committees were operating with members whose terms had expired.
Driscoll submitted a list of 60 appointments and reappointments for council approval in early April, after her staff spent the winter and spring making a list of expired board members and contacting them to see if they would like to be reappointed.
At Thursday's council meeting, Prevey said his initial impression of Driscoll's ordinance was favorable, but he'll have a few more questions as it's discussed in committee.

Wooo - it's not a faux-Cosmopolitan multiple choice quiz, but an interview that's almost entirely about Eurotrashiness. Matt Miles talks cheesy synths, flammable couture and the holiday disco that's too hot for hell with diabolically nice 'n' cute DJ/producer Per Qx. Why? Because the young Swede is running a major new monthly party at East London it-club Dalston Superstore called, uh-huh, Eurotrash. Cheapen yourself there this Friday 9 April - for free!
I first started to wonder who or what was Eurotrash in the nineties - what did Eurotrash used to mean to you?
Per: Swedes with fake blond hair that smoke menthol cigarettes. Russians girls with maxi-fake lips that look like cheap prostitutes. Germans with faux Birkenstock. You?
A mullet man from Dusseldorf aboard a cross channel ferry casino with an itchy drug face and fake Versace shades. And Moschino bra tops and Sabrina doing 'Boys Boys Boys' and anything Corona touched... Do you think Eurotrash is harder to define now?
Per: I think it's quite similar actually. Oh, I forgot to mention the English girls from up north with mini skirts and alcho pops in their hands, falling all over the place on the coldest December night. That's proper Eurotrash.
Are we all Eurotrash?
Per: Yes to a degree, I think us Dalstoner's are quite Eurotrash. (FYI - Dalston is a place in East London where everyone lives). We all get our food shopping from Lidl, and our clothes from Oxfam and our tranny outfits from the pound shop. Actually, I can just speak for myself!
Did you fall out of bed age 13 with a beating heart and an erection caused by the synth stab in 'Rhythm of the Night' and stammer those defining words: 'I am a Eurotrash'... was there a helpline you could call?
Per: I never came out as Eurotrash, though I had my moments with hair extensions and rainbow colour hairstyles when I was a pre-teen.
What's the most Eurotrash holiday destination in all Europe?
Per: It has to be Gran Canaria. I was going there regularly a few years ago and in the end I was like, 'Can I change my flight so I get home tonight instead of tomorrow?' I love Gran Canaria's tacky bits and I had some trashy times in the Jumbo Centre, but if I stay there too many days I go mad!
As a DJ there must have been times you were so lost in Eurotrash you were almost touched by the hem of god...
Per: Well I did once wake up on a plane and have absolutely no idea where I was flying to. It turned out to be Warsaw, which was a stroke of luck as that's where I was booked to play. I'd just came back from Trailertrash's birthday party in London, was supposed to do a gig with Ultra Nate and forgot to bring clothes, tooth brush etc. Thank god I didn't forget my records!
Ja, that would've been eurocrap. Ok, I used to fantasise about Sweden - the porn, the conifer trees, the Abba saunas - but secretly it's a bit boring isn't it?
Per: Yes, that's all fake! The boys are very proud and not as slutty as other Europeans - except when they leave the country!
Is that why you became a lead figure in the Dalston Gay Mafia?
Per: Yes I think so. But I don't see myself as a lead figure, I'm just the one who's the biggest pr-whore!!!
Eurotrash at Dalston Superstore is so immensely fun - make people visit by describing it:
Per: We bring DJs from all over Europe to showcase their music style whether it's electro, house, techno, mash up, fidget or indie dance. Upstairs, the bar is ruled by Alejandro Asencio - we were playing Tranny Karaoke last time but it went out of control, so we're not allowed to do it again. This Friday we're just having trashy euro anthems.
Your other party GutterSlut has become one of London's leading clubs - how come you're this party producing hit machine? What's the secret?
Per: The secret is that we are nice and friendly promoters who just wanna do a crazy night - but of course with high music quality, and a cool and friendly crowd. I hate pretentious queens, and for some reason we don't seem to get 'em. We love what we're doing, and I think it shines through. GutterSlut and Eurotrash are my way of saying fuck rules and live your life. We never pretend to be something that we aren't. It's all about coming together to celebrate life to good music!
You're a producer too - what tracks have you got out to by/download at the mo and which is the most Eurotrash?
Per: There's an original track that's coming out on Roger Sanchez label Stealth this summer called 'Ever Before' feat. Max C - it's a techy house bomb that's hopefully set to blow Ibiza away. I also just remixed Tomcraft's 'Loneliness 2010' for Kosmo records. That's out to download on Beatport now, as is a remix of Nik Denton's 'Freak Show' on Toolbox. The most trashy remix is probably The Young Punx new single 'Sugar Candy' on Mofo Hifi - that'll be out in a few months time.
What are you working on in the studio?
Per: Me and Terry Vietheer are doing a new single (see link) feat Ben Onono called 'My Love Is Always There'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWCryiQUBIY
And I'm about to finish a track for Roger Sanchez Release Yourself Nine, together with Rustem Rustem called 'The Groove'.
Do you own anything by Jean Paul Gaultier?
Per: Nope, maybe a pair of fake jeans from Oxfam :)
It's GT's music issue in stores at t'mo - what three artists/singles are most excellent right now?
Per: These are amazing!
Baymont Bross feat Feral - 'Hold tight' (Miles Dyson remix)
Dad Life - 'Just Bleep Me' (Satisfaction)
Rasmus Faber and Alf Tumble - 'Wilder side' (Rafa remix) Defected
Eurotrash is this Friday 9 April at Dalston Superstore, 117 Kingsland High Street, East London. 9pm - 2am and entry is free all night.
The line up is Lupe Lambers, Per QX, Jeff Laurence, Jeanette, Sloaney, Alejandro Ascencio and Miss Crystal MC.

EDWARDSVILLE — The state's capital construction program will pay $1.7 million to renovate the chiller plant at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Gov. Pat Quinn announced Thursday.
The plant provides air conditioning to buildings on the Edwardsville campus. The project will increase capacity, install a new pump, upgrade equipment and make other improvements.
Kane Mechanical of East Alton will do the heating and air conditioning portion, and Wissehr Electric of Belleville will do the electrical work.
Quinn said the project will improve the learning environment and employ construction workers, while SIU President Glenn Poshard said it will make "a real difference" on the campus.
"While a new air conditioning system may not be the most thrilling construction project in the university's history, this is a commitment to maintain the existing standard of a quality environment to attract and keep the great student body and faculty at SIUE," said state Sen. Bill Haine (D-Alton).
The "Illinois Jobs Now" capital construction program includes $31 billion in infrastructure projects statewide over six years.

Chip Brown has become either revered or reviled for his role in breaking the conference realignment story. Both positions have a basis in reality; it depends on what you want to focus on.
Nebraska is on the verge of joining the Big 10. It's been reported, but it hasn't happened yet. Husker fans can be assure that Tom Osborne will let us know what's going on, sooner than you think.
Colorado may be poised to accept an invitation to the Pac 10 before Texas politics can determine that Baylor must be included in any conference expansion package.
Is the Big XII about ready to implode, with teams being pulled away from the Big Ten and the Pac Ten?
The Pac-10 is talking about expansion, possible targets include Utah and Colorado. If the Big 10 takes Missouri, and the Pac-10 takes Colorado, where does that leave the Big 12? And where does it...

By LARRY M. JONES
One of my favorite parts of the Christmas season has always been the sharing of Christmas cards with friends and family.
From my earliest recollection of this ritual, I have seen this tradition as a way of keeping in touch with loved ones and acquaintances who might live in other parts of the country. I recall the cards my mother would send would always contain a short personal note, and the ones we received would do so, as well. Serving so many years in the Navy, I found this to be a wonderful way to keep in touch with old shipmates who became scattered to the four winds.
The sending of Christmas cards is a relatively modern practice, originating roughly about the time of the birth of our nation. Early handwritten Christmas greetings were originally delivered in person, but they quickly became commercially printed and were delivered by the postal service. I've read that an early "Superintendent of Mails" in Washington, D.C., complained to Congress and encouraged them to restrict the practice because it created such an extra workload.
I recall seeing my mother pore over her address book, making a list of those she wished to include in her Yuletide mailings. Unlike many folks today, we did not include local friends and family on our card list. For many of these folks, we would take the time to drop off a plate of cookies, fruitcake or candy. Others we would offer our holiday greetings during parties at school and church events, or at gatherings throughout the community. Spending 3 cents on a stamp to send a card two miles seemed to be quite a waste of money down on the poor farm.
Over the years, I've heard many folks complain about the rising price of stamps, saying that this would probably be the last year they would be able to afford to send cards. While this may be the case for some, fortunately we were never been so destitute as to limit this spreading of Christmas cheer. Our cards may have been cheap "dime store" editions, but the sentiment was as rich as the season.

Occupy Wall Street Speech by Michael Moore

Michael Moore went down to the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City and made a populist speech. The crowd reaction to that speech was amazing. Cenk Uygur discusses the movement.

This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
Message:I've been very impressed with their service. I even got an email from them 10 minutes after FedEx delivered the package saying that my tickets had been delivered. Someone posted a story on Rock's about getting a phone call from them saying that the seller pulled the tickets and they wanted to offer him something better.
I have a friend who's explored several Craigslist listings and he thought they were all scams. I explored one and it was definitely a scam.
Prices there seem to be rising but after studying this thing from a bunch of angles on various sites, I couldn't ignore the sense of peace of mind StubHub gives.

Please vote for Dave Loebsack to represent us in Congress. He is committed to working with members of both parties to get results for Iowa families.
For example, Appanoose County Railroad, which carries products from our factories to meet major lines in Moravia and in Albia, was in trouble. The bridges were in such bad shape that regulations made the train go very slow to meet up with the major lines. The tracks were a mess! Dave Loebsack worked with Sens. Grassley and Harkin to secure a federal grant of $800,000 which needed a $200,000 match. These actions, along with other efforts, saved approximately 400 jobs in this area.
Another example of Dave's effectiveness was when he worked in joint effort with Iowa senators and representatives to secure water structures on Soap Creek, which resulted in slowing the water flow in the creek so as to prevent flooding of farmland.
Meanwhile, Joe Judge wants to be our next state representative.
Joe believes our families deserve good jobs and our children deserve effective education. Joe is a high school government and history teacher. He is well versed in the mechanics of government.
Joe was born and raised in Albia. He came back to our area because he wanted to ensure quality education to all Iowans, especially in rural areas. He wants to make sure we are not forgotten in southern Iowa by working to provide a quality environment in which to live, work and raise families.
Finally, I'm asking you to vote for Tim Tripp for the Iowa Senate. Tim is a newcomer in Iowa politics, but he sure isn't a newcomer in involvement in his Pella community and the state of Iowa.
He is a small business owner in Pella. He is active in his school district (a past board member). He believes in much involvement in his church (elder at his church). He is active in his community, serving as past president of the Pella Library Board. He is a member of the Iowa Legal Aid Board and the Legal Foundation of Iowa. He believes in looking out for the needy as shown by the Award for Pro Bono Service by the Iowa Supreme Court.
Now, he wishes to serve you in the Iowa Legislature as a state senator. Please vote for him.

Graduating class only covers those in your same class. kbear is looking for anyone in a seven year span, so if he is in the class of '12 it would include everyone from the class of '09 to the class of '15. Cohort seems to have the same problem.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I cannot rate this accommodation lowly enough! It is truly awful and we believe should be removed from your books!
We had been in touch by email to remind the owners of our coming, and they had arranged airport pickup for us;
We arrived at 10.30 at night to find the property empty and the owners absent!
The taxi driver managed to get us in and the beds were clearly not ready or made up for us; The owners arrived after about an hour and although vaguely apologetic, offered no valid excuse!
We refused to sleep in the first room she offered because the light in the filthy bathroom didn't work. The second room offered was scarcely better but we had little choice!
Although the husband was conscious of the difficulty we had had and apologised, the wife did not!
When it came to paying the bill, we objected to the treatment we had received and made our discontent very clear to them!
These thoughts seemed to be like water off a duck's back! Our feeling is that this happens often!
I'm sorry, but we can recommend no aspect of this home stay!
Yours sincerely,
Philip Sleigh

Chase Bank is mailing out special new coupons that offer a $300 bonus when you open a Chase Total Checking Account and make 5 transactions per month for 6 months.
Unlike a lot of the Total Checking promotional codes, this offer does not require a direct deposit, plus it's a $300 bonus, which is the highest I've seen for the Chase Total Checking Account.
You just have to make 5 qualifying transactions per month for 6 months to earn the $300 bonus.
Qualifying transactions include debit card purchases, online bill payments, checks paid, Chase Quick Deposits, Chase Quick Pay, and direct deposits (not required though).
There is currently only 1 $300 Chase Total Checking Coupon on eBay on sale for $35 with the Buy It Now price, and it expires on February 28, 2013.
As more of these coupons are mailed out to potential customers by Chase Bank, I'm sure others will become available for sale on eBay.
If you search for Chase $300 Coupons on eBay, you'll see a few Premier Plus Checking bonus coupons, but I only saw 1 available for the Total Checking Account $300 bonus as of 2/6/2013, so I'm sure it will disappear fast.
If you search around on eBay, you'll also find $200 Total Checking coupons that do not require a direct deposit, plus there are some other unique combination coupons for Chase $200 checking and $150 savings account bonuses together.
You can learn more about Purchasing Chase Coupon Codes on eBay to see what other types of offers may be available.
Hopefully, you'll be lucky enough to get one of the $300 Total Checking bonus coupons in the mail, but if not, you may want to consider purchasing one on eBay to take advantage of this offer.

Cast Announced for New Stage Version of Henry James' The Turn of the Screw at London's Almeida Theatre
By Mark Shenton
Casting has been announced for Lindsay Posner's production of The Turn of the Screw, a new stage adaptation of the Henry James book of the same name, that begins performances Jan. 18, 2013, prior to an official opening Jan. 24, for a run through March 16.
The cast comprises Caroline Bartleet, Laurence Belcher, Eoin Geoghegan, Gemma Jones, Anna Madeley and Orlando Wells, with Isabella Blake, Emilia Jones and Lucy Morton alternating the role of Flora.
In the story, "Miss Jessel is dead. A new governess arrives at a remote estate in Bly to care for Miles and Flora. Wild but angelic they charm their guardian with flowers, poetry and song. But as she grows to love her two wards, figures appear in the darkness outside and the corners of the house are haunted by those that have gone before. The Governess (played by Anna Madeley) must confront her fear and protect the children from the alarming dangers that surround them."
The Turn of the Screw was originally written in 1898 by American born writer Henry James (1843-1916). This novella has been adapted by Benjamin Britten as an opera, was adapted for film as "The Innocents" starring Deborah Kerr and for television with Lynne Redgrave in 1974 and in 1999 with Jodhi May and Colin Firth. The novella was also produced as a ballet by William Tuckett, a Radio 4 adaptation by Neville Teller and a BBC TV drama starring Michelle Dockery and Sue Johnston.
This new stage adaptation is by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, recently represented on Broadway by her version of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People at Manhattan Theatre Club, that had originally been produced in London at the Arcola. Her original plays include Her Naked Skin and The Night Season, which both premiered at the National Theatre, The Painter, Stars Over Kabul, The Lioness, The Soldier's Tale and Shoreditch Madonna.

Episcopal Identity
Grace-St. Luke's School is an Episcopal school, affiliated with Grace- St. Luke's Episcopal Church, and therefore the mission and ministry of this school finds its specific expression within the structure of the Christian faith and practices of the Episcopal Church. The expression of our foundation of faith is an important aspect of our life together. From Miss Lee's early childhood program through grade eight, students attend regular, age-appropriate chapel services at designated times each week. Attendance at chapel is required of each student. At the same time, the religious traditions and background of each student are respected, and we believe a range of faiths and cultures enhances the personal and educational experience of all students.
School Prayer
O God, let your heavenly blessing be upon Grace-St. Luke's School, that whatsoever things are true and pure, lovely and of good report, may here flourish and abound. Inspire with love and goodness both those who teach and those who learn. Open our hearts and minds to all truth, and give us grace to serve you faithfully. We ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
