New Lee-Davis Coach: 'There will be great effort'
Ryan Turnage does not fancy himself a public speaker. But the new head football coach of Lee-Davis High School got his message across clearly at his recent meet and greet with student-athletes and parents. "There will be great effort, and we will do everything the right way," Turnage proclaimed to those assembled at the school's auditorium.

Fans of Navy football have a chance to show their spirit by making their own video to be featured during the Army-Navy game on Dec. 8.
"With midshipmen and cadets producing spirit videos for the game each year, this now gives fans on both sides a chance to do the same," said Jeff Barnes, a Navy Athletics spokesman.
Every year students at the U.S. Naval Acdemy and West Point create spirit videos ahead of the game, which usually are a music video remake of a popular song.
In 2012, both Army and Navy chose the South Korean Pop song "Gangnam Style," and both garnered more YouTube clicks than any previous video. The midshipmen's video was viewed more than 6.5 million times.
The two teams collaborated this year to expand the game's social media presence and hatched up the contest plan, Barnes said.
Army and Navy enthusiasts have until Nov. 28 to create spirit videos, upload them to YouTube and email a link to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Representatives from both schools will choose the top three videos for each side, Barnes said. Those six will be shared on the Army-Navy Game Facebook page, and fans will decide on one winner for Army and one winner for Navy.
The creators of each winning video will receive two tickets to this year's Army-Navy Game, two pregame on-field passes and a parking pass.
Their videos will also be played on the video board at Lincoln Financial Field during the game.

More solutions for country's ills
Dear Editor:
Captain "Jack" had a good list of solutions for our countries problems. I agree with some of them and won't comment. Here are my comments on the others:
No. 1. I assume he means the Democrats who are keeping the country poor by killing jobs. Rich people and businesses create jobs. Poor people and the government don't. The only people being "punished" in this country are those who are successful and producing jobs.
No. 4. The House of Representatives was established to give each state a voice, based on size. Some states only have a few members in Congress. How would the seats be divided fairly? Would each state get two? That would not be based on size.
No. 7. I agree if we include unions to the list of groups that can't donate.
No. 10. The courts are supposed to rule based on the Constitution, not "what is right for the people." "What is right" depends on your political beliefs. Some believe in personal freedom and responsibility. Others want the government to take care of them by taking money from others.
No. 13. Our country is a republic, not a democracy. The Electoral College was established to give each state some say on who is president. If elections were based on popular vote, no one would care about Alabama and other small states.
Captain "Jack" missed several important items:
No. 1. Take the bulk of power away from the Feds and give it to the states, where it belongs.
No. 2. Emphasize personal freedom and responsibility by eliminating government handouts. Our country did fine taking care of the poor when the families, churches and neighbors did it.
No. 3. Leave our guns alone.
No. 4. Stop being soft on terrorists while trying to kill religion in this country.
No. 5. Emphasize the family. Too many children don't have a father.
No. 5. Stop killing babies before they are born.

More than one way to tax
Dear Editor:
Over 200 years ago our founders fought tyranny, uniquely giving us a democratic republic. It changed the world. Americans held liberty steadfast for over a century until Feb. 3, 1913, when the 16th Amendment began trading away our God-given liberties wrested, by our founders, from tyrants.
Since, we've bartered liberty for perceived physical/financial "security," lessening and weakening personal liberty. The 16th Amendment (income tax) set the stage to diminish freedom, ceding power to tax, thus track income. The IRS was set up to monitor citizen's income, enabling the political class (the U.S. Senate and House) to know and control every aspect of our private lives.
To comply we self-report all income related life aspects. The IRS/code enables monitoring and manipulation, hence control of each of us. The Supreme Court decision on the 2010 Affordable Care Act upheld citing "power to tax," adding control of medical life under tax policy. FairTax is ready-made to replace income tax and is the game changer. Look up FairTax, learn and join the fight to reverse government control of our lives. FairTax replaces income tax and abolishes the IRS.

LCCI 'not affiliated' with TNT
Dear Editor:
This is to Friends of Limestone County Churches Involved Inc. (LCCI).
Recently, TNT Thrift Store has moved locations from North Jefferson Street to Highway 31. They began to display signage that prominently shows the letters LCCI.
Please note that we (Limestone County Churches Involved Inc.) are not affiliated with nor do we receive donations from TNT Thrift Store. We do not understand their usage of "LCCI" in this instance.
We do want the entire Limestone County Churches Involved Inc. support community to know how very much we appreciate their donations and advocacy. We provided over 4,000 sets of food to area families in 2012, along with over $70,000 in general assistance. This would not have been possible without your gifts to LCCI. You are a true example of Christ's love at work in our community. Thank you on behalf of all the volunteers at LCCI and especially those families we have assisted.

Trinity coach deserves induction
Dear Editor:
A few years ago while speaking to a gentleman about Trinity High School, I was surprised to discover that he did not think that Coach H.B. Provience, the head coach at Trinity, was a good offensive coach. He mentioned that Provience had good defensive teams but you only had to teach people to hit somebody in order to be good defensively.
His idea of a good coach was someone who had the ability to develop and institute a good offensive system and he thought Coach Provience's system was outdated by the time he, the gentleman, arrived at Trinity.
Well I always thought coach was an offensive genius and I told him so. He said that I was bias because I played for him. I agreed that I was bias because I was aware of all the good work Provience had done, however I promised him I would research the records and get back with him.
The record is skimpy but utilizing the Limestone Democrats, Athens News Courier, Decatur Daily, Trinity School newspapers, and oral conversations with former players I discovered that Provience may not have been a genius but he had a very good offensive mind and had strong offensive teams over several generations. As examples I offer the following:
In 1951, Provience's fifth year as head coach, his Panthers defeated Courtland High School 67 to 0. I don't care if you are playing the little sisters of the poor you have a very good offensive mind if your team scores 67 points.
Furthermore his team scored 116 points that season, the opposition scored 6 points and Trinity was undefeated.
Four years later, in 1955, Trinity defeated Tennessee Valley High from Hillsboro 41 to 0.
In 1958, Provience's 12th year as head coach, his Panthers defeated Cherokee High School 52 to 0 and defeated Cherokee High School 33 to 0 and they were undefeated.
During the final game of that 1958 season the Panthers defeated Council High School from Huntsville 48 to 7. During the last three games of that season his teams scored 133 points and the opposition scored 6. That's the mark of a good offensive coach.
Based on his record as the longest serving head football coach at Trinity and his great offensive mind, Coach Province belongs in the Limestone County Sports Hall of Fame.

Take care of wounded warriors
Dear Editor:
Our president wants to spend more money to pay for pre-K children's schooling including equivalent day care expenses. Just one more bill that has no funds to pay for it. We have hundreds of thousands of service personnel that don't get any real consideration for all they and their families sacrificed to protect our nation and its legal citizens at the direction of incompetent politicians. We create dependency by giving money to those unqualified persons, who don't want to work. What about those warriors that return wounded for life and don't ask for a handout, just an opportunity to survive like everyone else who has sacrificed nothing.
Anyone who has a problem with what soldiers do in Afghanistan is incapable of empathy. People want America to have a certain image when we fight and it isn't always nice.
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it (Thucydides, 460 – 395 B.C.).
Terrorists don't give a damn about the Geneva Convention rules. Picking apart soldiers every move against a dark, twisted, rule-free enemy is more than ridiculous, it's despicable.
We have many persons who are only too quick to indict our warriors if it can be made to look like they have transgressed some foreign terrorist's rights and yet give nothing to them when they have completed their assignment and return to civilian life. We need the public to get real.
Why sacrifice hard working people's family incomes to support high illegitimate births and high school dropout rates, resulting in more of the same and more crime. Let's reduce all the free social programs and free housing, food, utilities, medical attention, as a reward for continued bad judgment for generations of families. Let's take those funds and repair the lives of our brave, wounded, warriors that ask so little for so great a sacrifice. These permanently impaired warriors lives will never be the same for they and their families, but they aren't asking for a handout for nothing in return. They have already given a tremendous sacrifice and, in some cases, the ultimate sacrifice. Let's provide fully for their needs.
Reduce our handouts and let's get some community service from the nonworking welfare types. They should perform some physical assistance to wounded warriors families instead of just sitting waiting for a handout.

Attorney General Martha Coakley's Statement on Department of Public Utilities Decision
"In the aftermath of the December 2008 Ice Storm, we requested that regulators conduct a thorough investigation and, based upon the result of this review, put in safeguards to ensure this never happens again and hold the company accountable for its actions through sanctions. Today, the department issued a decision that made extensive and damning findings against the company and adopted multiple recommendations to prevent this from reoccurring, but did not take the additional step of imposing fines in this proceeding. This does little to hold Unitil accountable for its dismal response to the December 2008 Ice Storm and shoddy treatment of its customers in the following weeks. While the department's factual findings are consistent with the evidence presented to the department by the Attorney General's Office, we disagree with the department's constrictive interpretation of its own authority. The decision not to hold the company responsible through fines provides utility companies with regulatory immunity for failing to follow department orders and mandates in place to protect customers.
The Attorney General's Office serves as the utility ratepayer advocate for all Massachusetts consumers. Over the past year, through heavily attended public hearings in Fitchburg and Lunenburg, extensive discovery, submission of expert reports and five days of evidentiary hearings, Attorney General Coakley's Energy and Telecommunications Division has scrutinized Unitil's preparation and response to the storm.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has officially selected Jeffrey S. Robbins and David Grossman as the new Board Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively, for ADL's New England Region.
Robbins and Grossman, both long time supporters of ADL and its core mission, bring two generations of legal, political and business experience to the organization. Robbins will be handed the gavel by his predecessor, Michael N. Sheetz, at the ADL New England Board meeting on September 13.
Robbins, a Lexington resident, is a respected attorney who is currently a Litigation Member in the Boston office of Mintz Levin, specializing in complex civil litigation involving allegations of fraud, First Amendment issues and claims of defamation. He has twice served as United States Delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva, and as Deputy Chief Counsel for the Minority of the U.S. Senate Governmental Affairs Committee Special Investigation into campaign fundraising practices, representing the Democratic Senators during the probe into fundraising during the 1996 Presidential election. Robbins has also served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts and Chief of the U.S. Attorney's Asset Forfeiture Division, Special Assistant Attorney General for Massachusetts, and as lead litigation and trial counsel in many highly publicized cases. Robbins is a staunch advocate for Israel and was also President of the World Affairs Council of Boston; he has had op-ed pieces published on a range of foreign policy and other issues in a variety of publications, including the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald.
Grossman is co-president of Grossman Marketing Group (GMG), having assumed leadership of the family business in 2011 along with his brother, Ben. At GMG, Grossman specializes in marketing execution for professional services firms, sports teams, venture-backed startups and institution-sized non-profit organizations. He is also a frequent lecturer on marketing and family business issues. Grossman has been active in service to ADL and the Boston Public Library for many years; he grew-up around politics as the son of former Democratic National Committee Chairman and current Massachusetts Treasurer Steve Grossman. Grossman previously worked in marketing and development in New York City. He holds a BA from Princeton University and lives in Chestnut Hill with his wife and 3 children.
"Jeff Robbins brings to the position of regional board chair significant experience in government, public policy and law- all helpful in dealing with the myriad issues that comprise our mission. Having traveled to Israel with him recently, we know well that he has the safety and security of the Jewish people at heart and has a firm grasp of the critical issues at play in the Middle East. David Grossman comes from a distinguished family devoted to public service and the Jewish Community. His selection as Vice Chair is a statement by the New England Region that it cares greatly about and recognizes the importance of promoting our next generation of leadership," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and Robert G. Sugarman, ADL National Chair.
"Jeff and David are perfectly positioned to lead ADL into its centennial year," said Derrek L. Shulman, ADL New England Regional Director. "This dynamic, intergenerational team will build upon Mike Sheetz' highly successful Board Chairmanship, and strengthen ADL's mission to confront anti-Semitism and promote civil rights for all people."
"Jeff Robbins is a strongly engaged part of our Jewish community and a good friend. He has worked as part of the American Jewish Committee, ADL, the JCRC and CJP over decades as an untiring and courageous spokesperson for Israel and for human rights," said Barry Shrage, president of Combined Jewish Philanthropies. "David Grossman is deeply committed to human rights, the fight against anti-Semitism and the Jewish community. He is the fourth generation of his family to dedicate an important part of his life to community service, and has been involved in every part of ADL's important work serving on its board and executive committee. Jeff and David will add immeasurably to ADL's great work in our community."

Joyeuse (pronounced zhwa-OOS, in French), was the name of Charlemagne's personal sword. The name translates as "joyful".
Joyesue in Legend
Some legends claim that it was forged to contain the Lance of Longinus within its pommel; others state it was smithed from the same materials as Roland's Durendal and Ogier's Curtana.
The 11th century Song of Roland describes the sword:
[Charlemagne] was wearing his fine white coat of mail and his helmet with gold-studded stones; by his side hung Joyeuse, and never was there a sword to match it; its colour changed thirty times a day.
Some seven hundred years later, Bulfinch's Mythology described Charlemagne using Joyeuse to behead the Saracen commander Corsuble as well as to knight his comrade Ogier the Dane.The town of Joyeuse, in Ardèche, is supposedly named after the sword: Joyeuse was allegedly lost in a battle and retrieved by one of the knights of Charlemagne; to thank him, Charlemagne granted him an appanage named Joyeuse. Baligant, a general of the Saracens in The Song of Roland, named his sword Précieuse, in order not to seem inferior to Charlemagne.
Coronation sword of the French kings
A sword identified with Charlemagne's Joyeuse was carried in front of the Coronation processionals for French kings, for the first time in 1270 (Philip III), and for the last time in 1824 (Charles X). The sword was kept in the Saint Denis Basilica since at least 1505, and it was moved to the Louvre in 1793.
This Joyeuse as preserved today is a composite of various parts added over the centuries of use as coronation sword. But at the core, it consists of a medieval blade of Oakeshott type XII, mostly dated to about the 10th century. Martin Conway argued the blade might date to the early 9th century, opening the possibility that it was indeed the sword of Charlemagne, while Guy Laking dated it to the early 13th century. Some authors have even argued that the medieval blade may have been replaced by a modern replica in 1804 when the sword was prepared for the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Louvre's official website dates the pommel to the 10th to 11th centuries, the cross to the second half of the 12th, and the grip to the 13th century

There's a kid that I think TOSU should consider. A WR from California with good height. Last name is Brodus (spelling ?) He's the son of rapper Snoop Dog, from a segment on ESPN. I'm not a fan of rap but I think this kid looks very good. I think we should start getting taller WR as it seems to be a good trend. He will sign next February for college. 2015 class
Basketball....... Where have all of the cup cakes gone. Nothing like competition to show how weak that you are.
I checked out Scout.com and there were several uncommitted kids who were in the top 100 national rankings who had OSU as a team of interest and a couple had visits scheduled to OSU in late January. I hope we can get a couple 4 star players. Also not yet committed was the number 1 TE. Instead of trying to get the kid committed to PSU I think we should swoop in and steal the top TE in the country. That will be important as we prep the next QB.
The above candidates sound great. I would suggest going for a young coach. Hart may be good but with 44 yrs of experience he's got to be near retirement. I choose Tressel. Youth will help us with recruiting. I also would strip Fickell of the DC title. I know it would be an embarrassment for him but he hasn't earned the title.
Great story. I sure as hell hope the OSU coaching staff reads this site. It would do them a service hearing the real opinion of the fans. They do still work for the university and fans don't they ?
Two things that I want to say.
If the defense is this bad....and it is very bad...... why isn't someone being fired?????????????
I hope that Braxton decides to go pro. Is he ready ? NO But who cares...... we need a QB not another RB. Watched too many bowl games where QB's threw often and well. Imagine having 300+ yards passing in a game. Imagine passes being thrown accurately. Not 6 feet off the ground where they can easily be intercepted.
Declare Braxton
I love B. Miller but he's not yet ready for the pro's. They insist that you pass well. BM is improved but still over throws or under throws too many receivers. He would get drafted behind McCarron, Mettenburg, Jordon, Bridgewater, fifth QB.... is that the 3rd or 4th round ? Stay, learn, improve, grow....... if you're tired of being hit...... hand off the damned ball or pass it.
I was about to type we need to pass the freaking ball (on target), then the TD. Thank God !
Great Game ! Go Bucks !
Should be a #2 seed and play close to home.
Today is HUGE. I would love to see something very different. I would love to see the Buckeyes challenge the ball after it's been in bounded. Including occasional traps/double teams in the back court to try to force turnovers. I know many just want more of the same but a high pressure defensive attitude could keep the Badgers of balance.
Anyone know who's wearing Red and who's White today ?
I am a Minnesota Viking fan. I've posted on a Vikings message board that I think Troy Smith would be a great choice for QB. Minnesota has terrible back up QB's and an unproven starter.
I hope I can get other Viking fans and team management to consider him. Career QB rating of 159.7 according to wikipedia
I have on my homepage igoogle. It has many options. One is ESPN. yesterday it had a link to a video on Ohio State. It spoke of the 2013 season and spoke much on defense. I don't know how easy it can be found. Good luck.
I have huge hopes and expectations for this years team.
One thing that bothered me all year in 2012 was our/Braxton's passing efficiency. There were far too many times when passes were thrown 10 yards short, far wide, or over thrown. That can't happen on this level. I hope the coaches use all of the best corrective technics to sharpen Braxton's skill set. If we can make our passing game a serious threat, it will open up the running game a lot. Then watch out. Opponents will have no idea how to stop this train and our wins and scoring will soar which will boost our rise in the polls. What's left ? A game on January 8.
I love the game that Braxton has. But he needs a solid passing game to be a complete QB and to be able to have a good shot in the NFL.
A huge win !
up 6 with 18 sec remaining. Looks good
Great block by ER
44 seconds and we go to the line up 5 and missed the first and second shot
AW offensive foul ? Not what we needed
7:00 left up 5 we need an offensive push.
Wow ! This is great ! GO BUCKS !
I really hope that Matta has the team intensify their defense in the 2nd 1/2. All 5 players pressuring the ball and cutting off passing lanes. A full court press if we're trying to come back also.
Buckeyes can't hold on to the damned ball. Too many turnovers !
As a Buckeye fan, I am an eternal optimist. However, this Basketball team is not good. Not a contender. At 4.09 left in the game we're down by 22. Looks too much like the Indiana game. We don't have a reliable 3 pt shooter. We don't rebound well enough. We're not using pressure defense to cause turnovers. (full court press). We're not good enough to challenge for the Big 10 title. Maybe we can be a spoiler. We do have a few good players but we need a good recruiting class (or two) to get back to the standards we are used to.

Rotherham have had an undisclosed offer for Peterborough defender Mark Little turned down by the Championship club.
Millers boss Steve Evans made his first signing for the South Yorkshire club on Thursday as he secured striker Daniel Nardiello on a two-year deal.
But with his offer for 23-year-old Little turned down by the Posh, Evans told Rotherham's official website: "Peterborough United turned down our offer after Barry Fry spoke to the manager Darren Ferguson.
"I will now speak with the chairman Tony Stewart and should he wish to increase the offer we have made, then we will do so in a private and confidential manner with Peterborough United."

Cultural Italy – La Nivola e il Santo Chiodo
A large percentage of the most fascinating buildings in Italy are religiously themed. The Cathedral in Milan is the largest cathedral in Italy, though Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican is a bigger (albeit not a cathedral). Even if you are not religious the cathedral is definitely worth a visit.
La Nivola e il Santo Chiodo takes place in Milan Cathedral, the second largest cathedral in the world! The cathedral itself is a wondrous place to visit even when there is nothing else happening there, but if you are visiting in September you may be lucky enough to be in time for the La Nivola e il Santo Chiodo.
The La Nivola e il Santo Chiodo is a special ceremony where the archbishop of Milan rides a cloud up into the ceiling to retrieve a very important Christian relic, the Santo Chiodo. The Santo Chiodo is purported to be one of the nails that held Christ on the cross. This is the only time of the year when the relic is brought down from the ceiling and the only time you can get a look at it. The history of the nail is a little unclear but it is known that the Roman Emperor Constantine decided to melt it into riding apparel for his beloved horse!
This is a very interesting event even for those not of the Christian faith and a visit to the Milan Cathedral at any time of year is definitely worth while. For more ideas on activities in Italy try reading one of our other car rental Italy blogs. For a car with which to explore the rest of the country check out our car rental Italy page.
How to get there: Milan is the capital of the Lombardy province which is situated in the centre of continental northern Italy. The Cathedral shouldn't be hard to find as it is located right in the centre of the city and all the locals will be able to point you in the right direction.
If you have been to this festival yourself why not leave some hints for our other visitors to the area below?

First off, I realize there is a chance that Todd Walker won't be a first ballot hall of famer. He may have to wait a year or two, but no need to hold off on this discussion.
I think the clear choice is Minnesota: Walker had his best year in a Twins uniform and also played in Minnesota 2 more seasons then any other place. Though I could see him choosing Chicago because of the whole mystique of the Cubs thing, and he may not be a fan of how Minnesota let him go.
What are your thoughts?
I think he comes close to getting in this year. To many dirty names on the ballot and Walker is clean.

---- — Miss Hazel Mason returned yesterday from Detroit, where she has been visiting for the last two weeks. She was accompanied by Miss D'Anjour, who will visit with Miss Mason for a few days before returning to her home in Boyne City.
One year ago today, it was eight above zero at eight in the morning and just zero at eight in the evening. This morning, at six, it was twenty above.
The Covenant Circle of the First Congregational Church will meet at the home of Miss Pearl Wilhelm, 115 East Eighth Street, this evening at 7:30.
The Victoria at the Boardman Avenue School was the only thing that was saved from the fire and this was through the persistent efforts of Harold Brown, who would not be refused and he actually forced the firemen to let him into the building to save this instrument. Mr. Mishler, the Principal, who was there at the time was greatly aided by this heroic young man, as the other part of the building was a mass of flames.
Harold Chillian, who has been visiting with relatives near Grand Rapids for several days, returned home here today.
NOTICE TO PUPILS: The grade pupils of the Central building will begin school at 8 o'clock, but will not have afternoon session. The pupils of Boardman Avenue building will report at the building at 1 p.m. for half session. This plan will be carried out until further notice.
BOARDMAN AVENUE SCHOOL IN RUINS: It is estimated that the structure will have to be built almost entirely new, as it is very doubtful whether or not the brick walls which are standing will be found safe.
Austrian Doctors Have Made Important Discovery: "Napkins" in restaurants and hotels and even in private homes are found to be a dangerous medium for the spread of disease is the discovery announced by Doctors Langlois and Sartory. In the microscopic examinations by the two bacteriologists, they found among other disease germs, numerous napkins from hotels and restaurants with pneumonia bacilli on them.
Mrs. John Guger, well-known Kingsley woman, passed away after a long illness on Feb. 11 suffering from chronic liver trouble. She leaves a husband, four children, one son at Grant and one at Buckley, while the other two are at home. Had she lived through this year she would have been 60 years old. She has many friends who mourn her death and her personality will be greatly missed in the neighborhood.

In a Traffic Jam? Snap a Picture
The Alliance for Improving America's Infrastructure wants you to send your traffic woes.
Memorial Day, road construction, and traffic jams. It's a given. But now you can do something while that guy is jack-hammering the road up in front of you. Take a picture, and upload it on a new interactive U.S. map of the nation's troubled roadways. The National Association of Manufacturers has formed a group of congressional leaders, transportation officials and manufacturers called the Alliance for Improving America's Infrastructure and a website called Get America Moving to collect pictures and videos this weekend and even beyond as they build a case for more highway spending and projects. "Over the Memorial Day weekend, GetAmericaMoving.com gives the traveling public the chance to share what's slowing them down," said NAM President John Engler. In addition to uploading pictures and videos to the website, Engler is encouraging folks stuck in traffic to pull out our PDAs and send stuff to email@example.com.
Alliance Spokesman Brian Jones E-mails us: "It's viewed as a multi-step process. First is raising awareness of the problem which is the immediate goal of the website. Provide people with the opportunity to share infrastructure problems in their communities in a central place (or portal). The alliance will then share the video, pics and stories with members, with the hope being that when infrastructure leg is before Congress they'll get the message that it's something that needs to be addressed and funded. Site also provides a place for solutions to be submitted, further engaging concerned citizens in the process. Part of the thing is with everyone who submits a problem or solution, their email and contact is captured for future mobilization.
The end goal though is legislation (and funding) which will address the country's growing infrastructure crisis. Macro thinking is you're going to wind up paying for this at some point, better to address it upfront."

The Sydney Morning Herald claims that not only will a sex robot eliminate the horrors of the prostitution industry, it will also be a good way for nerds to find love.
Although the theory of animatronic prostitutes has been around for decades, the technology to create a simulated human for purposes of sexual gratification and a kinder, gentler solution for the sex tourism trade, is stepping up and will likely be a reality by the year 2050.
SMH posits the benefits of such a creation, namely providing guilt-free sexual encounters and preventing diseases like herpes all the way up to HIV.
But their editorial piece takes the theme one step further and makes the claim that a sex robot will one day ensure everyone will find the perfect mate.
What's the basis for this idea?
According to SMH, "Many of our social interactions have been reduced to the barebones transfer of information via various online media: text messages, emails, shared videos and pictures, status updates, and, uh, pokes."
According to this reasoning, advanced societies are already feeling the pinch of degraded social interaction because of the way conversation is being relegated to the digital realm, making all tech users "nerds" by default.
So, naturally, the need for entities which don't care for more meaningful, stimulating and plain, old-fashioned relationships will be answered perfectly by androids built for basically one purpose.
That makes it a scary future.
Here's what Mashable has to say about the future of cyber love:
What do you think?

FGCU Softball Posts Back-to-Back Shutouts of Eckerd
Friday, April 15, 2005
Requires Adobe Flash
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Florida Gulf Coast University softball pitchers Kelly Powe and Amanda Bechtoldt combined to toss 14 shutouts innings Friday night to lead the Eagles to a sweep of Eckerd College, 6-0 and 10-0, at Turley Field. Powe (Naples, Fla.) pitched a seven inning, complete game two-hitter in the opener. She allowed just two singles and struck out four batters to post her 10th shutout this season and 25th of her career. Powe (25-6) came back to combine on a three-hitter with junior Amanda Bechtoldt (New Baden, Ill.) in the nightcap. Powe gave up one hit in three innings before giving way to Bechtoldt (9-6), who held the Tritons to two hits over the final four innings. FGCU was opportunistic in both games, scoring six runs on nine hits in the opener. The Eagles scored twice in the third, sixth and seventh innings. Senior Blaire Toleman (Lehigh Acres, Fla.) went 2-for-4 with three RBI – including her school record sixth homer, while senior Ashley Cecil (Naples, Fla.) went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three stolen bases. Sophomore Jessica Rouse (Jacksonville, Fla.) also had two hits, including a double. The Eagles scored seven runs on eight hits in the nightcap, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning on a RBI single from Toleman and a two-run home run by Kate Fishburn. They added three unearned runs in the third and their final run in the fourth on a RBI triple by Rouse. Toleman's RBI was her 53th, a single-season record at FGCU. Cecil, Toleman and Rouse had two hits apiece for the Eagles (35-16), who beat the Tritons for the fifth straight time. Eckerd is now 5-34. FGCU will play a doubleheader at Palm Beach Atlantic Saturday night at 5 p.m.

Suicide Silence @ The National (Richmond, VA)
Doing this from my phone so it will be brief.
Went to see Suicide Silence (and also Unearth and A Skylit Drive) in Richmond, Virginia last night.
The sound was perfect and the crowd very knowledgeable. That makes a huge difference at this kind of show. It's not for the weak of heart so having a crowd of curious passersby can make or break the night. Richmond has a solid metal scene with a lot of exceptional local bands (Lamb Of God, Gwar, Municipal Waste, etc.).
Apparently someone from the venue pissed Mitch (singer) off right before their set so he came out raging... hurling abuse at the bouncers and staff, telling the crowd to boycott The National, burn the place down. It was my third time seeing them (and first time as headliners) and they were MUCH more aggressive and angry this time. They played a tight, violent set. Loved it.
Took some photos. Will post a few of the decent ones when I get home.

First TN exec strikes back at tour buses via Twitter
The Blue Streak blog (published by Knoxville PR firm Moxley Carmichael) has an interesting post about First Tennessee VP Jennifer Holder's frustrated tweet about tour buses outside her downtown condo, and the results it got from the city.
After contacting Holder by e-mail for more information, (city downtown coordinator Hannah) Parker agreed. "Downtown parking is at such a premium anyway, it just didn't make sense to let buses use the spaces in certain residential areas," she said in an interview later. She took quick action to make the Vine Avenue meters off-limits to the buses.
She sent Holder an e-mail with the good news: "There shouldn't be any Saturday morning diesel wake-up calls outside your front door."
Check out the details here. (FWIW, Moxley Carmichael represents First Tennessee. And, for that matter, the KNS.)

Next: Hanni El Khatib
By David Dye
Hanni El Khatib is a first-generation American who grew up with a Palestinian father and a Filipino mother in San Francisco. His music has origins in '50s and '60s soul, blues, R&B and garage rock, with all those influences filtered through an intense love of punk music.
El Khatib's 2011 debut, Will the Guns Come Out, was a raw and profane blast, while the recent Head in the Dirt is a product of time spent with The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach in his Easy Eye Nashville studio. Hear two songs from Head in the Dirt here.

Times West Virginian
The home of Stonewall Jackson's childhood, known as Jackson's Mill, is one of the state's most historic attractions.
But it's also the home of the first statewide 4-H camp in the United States.
Jackson's Mill is located in Lewis County just outside Weston.
Chad Proudfoot, the 4-H cultural resource specialist at Jackson's Mill, said the first camp began in 1915 in Randolph County, but it wasn't until 1919 that the first statewide 4-H camp was created.
Proudfoot said a gentleman by the name of William Kendrick, who was the state 4-H leader at the time, liked the camping concept as a way to deal with youth development.
"He encouraged other counties to do camps," Proudfoot said. "It really took off."
In 1919, Kendrick wanted a single place to do statewide camping programs and started looking for locations.
"Folks from the Lewis County area suggested to him that Stonewall Jackson's boyhood home at Jackson's Mill would be a good spot for a camp," Proudfoot said.
Proudfoot said Kendrick and another man, Charles Hartley, visited the location and found it to be a perfect spot.
"The property at that time was owned by West Penn Power," Proudfoot said.
In 1921, the property was deeded to the state to be used for a youth camp. It was entrusted to the Extension Service of WVU.
"The first camp was held there in 1921," Proudfoot said.
The 4-H camp at Jackson's Mill is a youth development camp. Proudfoot said the camp is unique because it was where the camping program was born.

Reviews by brielle
I enjoyed this book. It changes perspective - which I normally hate, as I like one character more than the rest and want to just read his or her sections. I *almost* managed to read this entire book in order, though. Please be aware that there is some strong language in the book. SPOILER (Also there was very much unnecessary sexual tension).
This is the best book I've read in a long time. Think "The Mysterious Benedict Society" with a twentysomething protagonist on a mission.
I was sooo impressed with the scenes that the had to remake so that they matched the first movie. I hate the fact that while Jennifer gets dragged into the adventure, she is drugged during the majority of the action because Doc is dumb. Also, the new actress for Jennifer threw me a bit. It's a good movie though. Be aware of the swearing for young ears!
This book is just... sad. For most of the book, you have no idea what the girls' issues are, and then when you find them out, no one does anything to help. The worst scene in the whole book is near the end, and there isn't even a happy ending. This book rates LOW in my book.
Maybe I'm too old to be watching this movie, but while I loved Aladdin and a couple of the songs (namely, "A Whole New World"), the sparse humor and antiquated animation techniques coupled with the weak plot did nothing to impress me.

Can you tell me about freezers? How much meat will fit into my freezer?Mill Creek Natural Beef

Refer to the freezer storage chart at the end of Focus on Freezing, which lists optimum freezing times for best quality. If a food is not listed on the chart, you may determine its quality after defrosting. First check the odor. Some foods will develop a rancid or off odor when frozen too long and should be discarded.

We recommend always using meat thermometer for correct doneness. The temperatures listed are for final target doneness.

Why do you advise against meat?Frequently Asked Questions
When we eat meat, it creates toxins in our body, makes us sick, and makes us crave addictive substances. This is why we want coffee, dessert, alcohol, and tobacco after a meat meal. The slaughter process is unsanitary and poorly regulated, so meat is often contaminated with dangerous bacteria. Animals raised for meat are given toxic feed, antibiotics, and hormones that remain in their meat and contaminate our food.

BALLWIN -- About 30 minutes before the start of Thursday's MSHSAA Class 4 District 3 playoff opener at Parkway West High School's Longhorn Stadium, between Westminster Christian Academy and Ladue, Mother Nature decided it was time she show everyone thinking about football what real power was.
First, the skies opened and a furious storm followed. Then, just for good measure, the lightning strikes began and sent everyone running for cover.
The water and light show continued for nearly an hour before the first-round playoff game between two of the more underrated teams in the area.
Early on in the game, it seemed lightning struck again -- only this time it wasn't Mother Nature.
Instead, it was Westminster junior quarterback Brett Bond who threw two magnificent first-quarter touchdown passes to teammate Kyle Kinner, which helped the Wildcats build a lead they would never relinquish in an eventual 28-0 win over Ladue.
"You've got to give credit to (Westminster)," Ladue head coach Mike Tarpey said. "They're well-coached and their kids played hard, and they made some big plays in the first half."
And it was those two touchdown throws, one a 21-yarder and the other a 37-yarder, that allowed Westminster the breathing room to just play its game, while Ladue was stuck trying to mount a comeback in absolutely miserable wet and cold conditions.
"Well, it was the same for both teams, we both had to play in it," Tarpey said. "But after those two scores, their sideline could kind of forget about the delay and the weather, while our sideline was still kind of thinking about it, and maybe some of the negative thoughts started to creep in."
Sophomore Trey Merritt added a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, that along with junior kicker David Williams' three PATs, gave Westminster a 21-0 lead at halftime.
Ladue mounted its best drive of the game at the start of the third quarter, unfortunately though, a pair of penalties took the Rams out of scoring range.
Neither team was able to score in that quarter, but Westminster did close out the night with a 3-yard touchdown blast up the middle, by defensive lineman-turned-fullback Justin Creighton to make it 28-0 Wildcats.
"It's disappointing to go out with a game like this," Tarpey said. "But I am really proud of these kids and how they worked and improved all year. We we're the Suburban East champions. We went 5-0 in conference this year, and that's the third Suburban East title for these seniors, so I'm real proud of that."
Ladue finished the year with a 6-4 record.
Westminster, which is now 8-2, advances to the second round of the new-look playoff format, and will face unbeaten Sullivan (MO), Halloween night in Sullivan.
The winner of that contest will then advance to the Class 4 District 3 championship game, which is scheduled to be played on Monday, November 5.
Scoring Summary
Score by Quarters ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 -- Final

Money on the markets
A maturing market amid the mayhem
Sensex tops 12,000 on Reliance, Infosys
The BSE Sensex closed 6.4 percent higher on Monday, its biggest one-day gain in six months, boosted by encouraging manufacturing data at home and renewed investor activity across Asia.
The benchmark closed 731.5 points higher at 12,134.75, while the Nifty ended 5.1 percent higher at 3654.
The rise in the Sensex was led by Reliance Industries, Infosys and ICICI Bank.
On the sectoral front, the BSE Metal Index gained nearly 8.7 percent. This was followed by the IT Index which ended up 8.4 percent. All sectoral indices closed the day in the green.
In today's trade, FIIs bought net $68.3 million in India shares and $32.8 million in debt.
Manufacturing, which constitutes approximately 16 percent of the GDP, has seen some revival mainly due to the surge in new orders. Data showed the new orders index rose to 54.9 from 49.5 in March.

New Castle News
Editor, The News:
The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States follows:
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
My interpretation of those words means that members of the militia have the right to bear arms, but my reading of those words runs counter to popular and accepted meaning.
I even extend my reading of the meaning to limit the ownership of the guns to the militia and not the individual members.
Of course, the hunters, target shooters and those who insist on the protection provided by owning guns will shout me down for such an un-American view, but I have no objection to those uses of guns. But there seem to be people who think that, if given the opportunity, the government will take guns from citizens, and then somehow take over and put us into servitude, because there would be no way to defend ourselves.
The News' front-page article Jan. 5 stated gun owners fear government may be conspiring to take away their arms, and the article noted that guns are in short supply because of such high demand.
The article included an excellent photo of the popular AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, which was used in the Newtown killings and the movie theater killings in Denver.
But nothing will curtail constitutional rights to own assault weapons. People will continue to have the questionable security of packing heat and perhaps someday someone will be able to stop a killer and be the hero of the moment.
But owners should learn how to properly use their guns and carefully aim away from me.
May I suggest a new slogan for the omnipotent NRA? "A gun for every book bag."
