Fuke-shū (Japanese: 普化宗 Fuke sect?) or Fuke Zen was a distinct and ephemeral derivative school of Japanese Zen Buddhism which originated as an offshoot of the Rinzai school during the nation's feudal era, lasting from the 13th century until the late 19th century. The sect, or sub-sect, traced its philosophical roots to the eccentric Zen master Puhua, as well as similarities and correspondences with the early Linji House and previous Chán traditions – particularly Huineng's "Sudden Enlightenment" (Southern Chán) – in Tang Dynasty China.
Fuke monks or priests (komusō) were noted for playing the shakuhachi bamboo flute as a form of meditation known as suizen ("blowing meditation"), an innovation from the earlier zazen ("sitting meditation") of other Zen sects. Fuke Zen was characterized in the public imagination of Japan by its monks' playing of the shakuhachi flute while wearing a large woven basket hat that covered their entire head as they went on pilgrimage.
The theoretical basis of Fuke-shū was to emphasise the concept of the incommunicable aspect of enlightenment, an ideal traced to various Buddhist sects and relayed in paradoxical Zen writings such as the Lankavatara Sutra, the Diamond sutra and Bodhidharma's "Bloodstream sermon". Thus Fuke monks rarely chanted sutras or other Buddhist texts, but rather relied upon scores of sacred shakuhachi music called honkyoku to express and transmit awakening.
The sect technically continues to exist through the lineage of the contemporary "Kyochiku Zenji Hosan Kai" (KZHK) group in Kyoto, which organizes annual meetings for hundreds of shakuhachi players and Fuke-shū enthusiasts. They operate from their base temples of Tōfuku-ji and Myōan-ji. Many Rinzai monks still practice as komusō during certain celebrations in former Fuke-shū temples that have, since the 19th century, reverted to traditional Rinzai Zen. Notable temples include Kokutai-ji.
The Founder Puhua[edit]
Fuke-shū, according to some accounts, is derived from the teachings of the Chinese Zen teacher Linji Yixuan (c. 800–866), known in Japan as Rinzai Gigen. However, the Fuke school counted as its founder one of Linji's contemporaries Pǔhuà (普化), whose name is read as Fuke in Japanese. Puhua was reputedly a multi-talented monk, known for being inventive and at the same time quite strict. The notion of Puhua as founder is also supported by several references in the Record of Linji as well as the Kyotaku Denki.
One story of Puhua particularly demonstrates his unique style of nonverbal Chan:[1]
When Panshan Baoji was near death, he said to the monks, "Is there anyone among you who can draw my likeness?"
Many of the monks made drawings for Panshan, but none were to his liking.
The monk Puhua stepped forward and said, "I can draw it."
Panshan said, "Why don't you show it to me?"
Puhua then turned a somersault and went out.
Panshan said, "Someday, that fellow will teach others in a crazy manner!"
Having said these words, Panshan passed away.
Many stories about Puhua that appear in the Record of Linji add to his reputation of having a rough and uncompromising manner of expressing the dharma. For example:[2]
44.a. One day the master (Linji Yixuan) and Puhua went to a vegetarian banquet given them by a believer. During it, the master asked Puhua: "'A hair swallows the vast ocean, a mustard seed contains Mt. Sumeru' – does this happen by means of supernatural powers, or is the whole body (substance, essence) like this?" Puhua kicked over the table. The master said: "Rough fellow." Puhua retorted: "What place is this here to speak of rough and refined ?"
b. The next day, they went again to a vegetarian banquet. During it, the master asked: "Today's fare, how does it compare with yesterday's?" Puhua (as before) kicked over the table. The master said: "Understand it you do – but still, you are a rough fellow." Puhua replied: "Blind fellow, does one preach of any roughness or finesse in the Buddha-Dharma?" The master stuck out his tongue.
There is some controversy as to the degree and nature of his musical talents, but his followers would often reflect on a certain story for inspiration: the story describes Puhua going through his hometown, ringing a bell to summon others to enlightenment. The same, for many Fuke practitioners, applied to the shakuhachi, and its mastery was seen as a path to enlightenment.
Death of Puhua[edit]
The passing of Puhua is recounted in the Record of Linji[when?]. In addition to giving a special importance to Puhua's ringing bell, it is particularly striking as a story of Buddhist resurrection that equals the famous resurrection story of Bodhidharma, the Indian master who brought the Ekayana school from India to China, which became the Chan sect of Buddhism. The story:[3]
65. One day at the street market Fuke was begging all and sundry to give him a robe. Everybody offered him one, but he did not want any of them. The master Linji made the superior buy a coffin, and when Fuke returned, said to him: "There, I had this robe made for you." Fuke shouldered the coffin, and went back to the street market, calling loudly: "Rinzai had this robe made for me! I am off to the East Gate to enter transformation" (to die). The people of the market crowded after him, eager to look. Fuke said: "No, not today. Tomorrow, I shall go to the South Gate to enter transformation." And so for three days. Nobody believed it any longer. On the fourth day, and now without any spectators, Fuke went alone outside the city walls, and laid himself into the coffin. He asked a traveler who chanced by to nail down the lid.
The news spread at once, and the people of the market rushed there. On opening the coffin, they found that the body had vanished, but from high up in the sky they heard the ring of his hand bell.
Fuke lineage in Japan[edit]
Fuke Zen was brought to Japan by Shinchi Kakushin (心地覺心)(1207–1298), also known as Muhon Kakushin (無本覺心) and posthumously as Hotto Kokushi (法燈國師). Kakushin had travelled to China for six years and studied with the famous Chinese Chan master Wumen (無門) of the Linji lineage. Kakushin became a disciple of Chôsan, a 17th generation teacher of the Fuke sect of China.[4]
Although it no longer exists as a religious organization, during the feudal period, Fuke Zen's following was quite extensive. Its members could be easily recognized by their practice of playing the shakuhachi flute, which was considered a form of meditation, termed suizen (吹禪). These musician-monks were known at first as komosō (薦僧; literally "straw-mat monks") and, by the mid-17th century, as komusō (虚無僧; literally "emptiness monk").
Fuke Zen in general stressed pilgrimage, and its adherents were mostly lay-practitioners rather than clergymen. During the Edo period (1603–1867), many ronin became incorporated into the sect, and due to the temperaments of these former samurai, the sect gained the reputation of harbouring troublemakers. Members of the Fuke sect were also given permission by the Bakufu government of the time to travel freely throughout the country, a significant dispensation considering the severe travel restrictions of the time. In reality, some of the Fuke monks were spies for the Bakufu government, a practice which helped seal the sect's demise when the government itself fell.
Development and demise[edit]
Fuke, which had initially been a loose affiliation of monks and lay pilgrims, solidified as a sect around 1700. However, the sect died out in 1871 following the Meiji Restoration. The new government promulgated a grand council proclamation banning the practice of Fuke Zen and playing the shakuhachi for religious reasons. This is because, as described above, in practice many of the Fuke were spies and informers for the government. Practice of the shakuhachi was banned entirely for four years by the Meiji government, after which it was decreed that secular playing was permitted. From that time onward the playing of original Fuke pieces, honkyoku, made a very slow recovery. The recovery is continuing to this day.

Museum History
How did it start and what treasures does it hold?
In the summer of 1997, five citizens of Tunica met and agreed that Tunica needed a museum to serve as a repository for its artifacts, an immersion in its history and a forum to consider its future. They developed a mission statement:
Mission Statement:
The Tunica County Museum will interpret the history of Tunic County through exhibits, education programs, research and collections. Topics include the natural setting, Native American prehistory, early European exploration and settlement, and 19th and 20th century social, agricultural, institutional, political, military and commercial history. The exhibits will reflect the rich ethnic diversity of the County.
The five citizens also prepared a proposal for presentation to the Tunica County Supervisors.
At the meeting of August 15, 1997, the Supervisors moved unanimously to approve the creation of Tunica Museum stating, "proceed with the formation of a non-profit corporation full speed ahead."
The five citizens became the Founding Board of Directors March 31, 1998.

Tunica Museum, Inc. owns and operates the Tate Log House located in downtown Tunica. The dogtrot style log house was built circa 1840 and is the oldest structure in the county.
Inside the permanent exhibit galleries of Tunica Museum you will learn the rich and colorful history of the area now known as Tunica County. The county and Town of Tunica take their name from the Tunica Indians who once inhabited this land before migrating south. After the Tunica the Chickasaw Indians controlled the area. Eventually all of the land of Tunica County was sold by the Chickasaw to settlers. The early settlers either worked the land themselves or with slaves brought from the east. Trees were removed and plantations began the production of cotton. The first towns and county seats in the county were river landings named Commerce and Austin. (And Peyton for 6 months.)Austin was attacked twice during the Civil War. Eventually after a flood moved the river two miles from the county seat of Austin in 1882, and the railroad built a depot in Tunica in 1884, the County Seat moved to Tunica in 1888. Up until World War II Tunica County grew in population. From the 20s to the 60s Tunica County contributed heavily to the creation of the musical form known as the Blues. After WWII and the introduction of the tractor and later the mechanical cotton picker, jobs began dissappearing and the population declined as people headed north to look for work.
During the Civil Rights movement Tunica County managed to hold itself together and became a nationally known place in 1985 after it's Sugar Ditch notoriety. In its struggle to improve itself the county tried gaming in 1992. Since then the county has flourished, created over 16,000 gaming related jobs for its own citizens and the citizens throughout the area and from around the world. It has become the nation's third largest gaming destination and has become a premier resort and getaway area. Over 6000 hotel rooms can easily room the conventions, groups and 15 million visitors who make Tunica County their choice for fun each year.
From the paths of the Indians to the floors of the gambling casinos Tunica County has come a long way, and is going further.

BANGKOK, Thailand – Reigning Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., defeated top qualifier Mika Koivuniemi, a Finnish native now living in Hartland, Mich., 235-225, 245-228, to win the World Bowling Tour Thailand title Monday at Blu-O Paragon Bowling Center.
With the win, Rash claimed his seventh career PBA Tour title, his second World Tenpin Bowling Association/PBA International Tour title during the 2012-13 season, and a first prize worth US$32,140. Rash's previous 2012-13 title was in the Kuwait Open, where he also defeated Koivuniemi for the title, but this time, because Koivuniemi entered the eight-player stepladder finals as the top qualifier, Rash had to beat him twice.
Koivuniemi was trying for his fourth WTBA/PBA International Tour title of the year. Earlier in October, he captured his 11th PBA Tour title in the Columbia 300 Vienna Open in Austria.
Rash and Koivuniemi may meet again in the World Bowling Tour Men's Finals, presented by the PBA, which will be conducted Nov. 3 as part of the PBA's ESPN television finals at South Point in Las Vegas. Rash will enter the WBT Men's Finals as top qualifier and will meet the winner of the preliminary match between No. 2 Koivuniemi and No. 3 Mike Fagan of Fort Worth, Texas. The WBT Women's Finals field will include No. 1 Kelly Kulick, Union, N.J.; No. 2 Liz Johnson, Cheektowaga, N.Y., and defending women's champion Missy Parkin, Laguna Hills, Calif.
In the first three-player, shootout match in Bangkok, Thailand's Phoemphun Yakasem rolled a 256 game to advance over Korea's Kim Young Kwan (211) and Ryan Ciminelli of Cheektowaga, N.Y. (193).
In the second three-player match, Hong Kong's Michael Mak (238) eliminated Mike Fagan of Fort Worth, Texas (182) and Yakasem (169). Mak then eliminated the only woman to finish in the top eight, Singapore's Daphne Tan, 258-211, but Mak's title hopes ended when he lost to Rash in the semifinal match, 242-219.
The WBT Thailand event was the final tournament prior to PBA World Series of Bowling V, which gets underway with the PBA Cheetah Championship Saturday at South Point Bowling Center in Las Vegas. All preliminary qualifying and match play rounds during WSOB V will be webcast live, exclusively on PBA's online bowling channel, Xtra Frame.

As the simple cartoon begins, a sleeping figure resembling a crash dummy is seen from above, lying in bed. The man suddenly awakens as the first of eight gunshots is fired in his direction. Walking down a corridor, the gray figure is hit by shots in the arm, the chest and finally the head. He crumples and falls to the floor.
The three-minute color segment may not win any awards as entertainment. But this computer-generated animation was enough to help convict Bay Area adult theater operator Jim Mitchell of killing his brother and partner, Artie, in 1992--the first time in California that such technology was admitted as evidence in a criminal case.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Noosa Tri 9 Running Shoe:
I have been running for over 40 years and I can say that this Is one of the best running shoes I have owned. I like a light shoe and this shoes is light enough, but it doesn't have hard sole like so many light weight shoes. I really like the elastic laces and plan to put some in all of my running shoes. They fit so well I hardly feel like I'm wearing shoes yet I have the cushion. They make me feel speedy. The colors are great and I get lots of compliments whenever I wear them
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Year of Boulevard block party drew about 1,000 people to Boulevard and North Avenue Saturday.
The event was part of a larger strategy by Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall to address the social and economic ills on the stretch of Boulevard between Freedom Parkway and North Avenue.
It linked more than 30 city, county and nonprofit agencies to connect the families of the Boulevard corridor with local social services.
The Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta, for example, delivered 100 beds to families from the corridor living in the Bedford Pine, Henderson Place Apts, and Bethel Towers residences.
Other groups handed out backpacks, signed up residents for library cards and did HIV screenings.
They will also hand out backpacks.

The Athens Review
Athens —
It seems like it happens just about every year, usually sometime around the Christmas holidays. A crappie fisherman heads to Lake Fork in hopes of catching a few fish for the freezer and winds up hooking into a pot-bellied largemouth bass way too fat for Santa to stuff in his fluffy red bag of goodies.
The trend started years ago and is showing no real signs of slowing down. The biggest bass ever reported in Texas was hauled into a boat occupied by a group of Lake Fork crappie fishermen.
Barry St. Clair caught the fish - an 18.18 pounder - in January 1992. He and some friends were soaking live shiners in deep water in the vicinity of the dam when St. Clair's line went taunt under the pressure of the heavyweight bass. It took some doing, but he eventually managed to land the huge fish. It has ranked as the Texas state record ever since.
Gary Sims of Gunter is the latest panfisherman to join the Lake Fork lunker club. He probably won't be the last.
Sims, 63, said Dec. 12 started off cold and blustery at Lake Fork but he and John Holland decided to bundle up and give the fishing a whirl anyway. It turned out to be one of the best decisions they have ever made.
Sims got the opportunity to square off in a light tackle battle with a lifetime bass, and won. Holland, meanwhile, had a ringside seat to all action.
A retired football coach, Sims said it was hardly football weather when he and Holland dumped their boat into the water that morning.
"The last time I looked in the truck the outside temperature read 21 degrees," he said. "It was cold early that morning, but it turned out to be a really nice day once the sun got up good."
Typical of nice weather, Sims said the crappie didn't bite exceptionally well. He said they had boated only 11 keepers by lunch time.
"We caught quite few undersize crappie and just about as many bass, but overall it was pretty slow out there," he said. "We were marking a few fish on our electronics, but nothing like it will be after some more cold weather. That's what makes those fish stack up in the deep water."
Perhaps the fish weren't biting so well because there was a monster prowling around in their house.
Sims said he and Holland were bumping their 1/8 ounce Rocky Top jigs along an underwater ledge in 24-32 feet of water when his line suddenly felt mushy. When he lifted the eight-foot Pro Angler crappie rod to set the hook, Sims said it felt like he had tied into a cinder block.
Holland looked back and saw Sims' rod bent double. "Whatcha got?" he asked.
"I told him it felt like a big catfish," Sims said. "We have hooked and landed several 40-50 pounders on our crappie gear over the years."
Several minutes into the battle Sims had made very little headway towards landing the fish.
"She pretty much stayed vertical, just bulldogging the bottom," he said. "She'd pull drag and I'd push the button and let her run. Then I'd gain a little line back. I don't know how long that that went on, but it was for a while."
Sims said he eventually worked the fish close enough to the surface that Holland caught a glimpse of a dark silhouette as it darted beneath the boat.
"After that John told me he wasn't a sure what it was, but he could tell it wasn't a catfish," Sims said.
The mystery ended moments later when the big fish rolled over on its side within arm's reach of the boat. Sims grabbed it by the lower lip and hoisted it aboard.
"My gosh, what a bass - that about all either of us could say," he said. "I caught a 13.80 pounder out of Lake Ray Roberts back in 2002 and I knew this one was every bit as big. That's when the adrenaline and the ol' heart started pumping."
The two men raced the bass to Oak Ridge Marina where it weighed 15.02 pounds on certified scales. That's when Sims made the call to the Toyota ShareLunker program headquarters in nearby Athens.
Turns out Sims bass had been to Athens before. Biologists identified the fish as the same one that was caught from Lake Fork in 2011 by Ed Carter of Broken Bow, Okla. Carter reportedly caught the fish, then a 14.25 pounder, using a black/blue lizard during the month of March.
The angler said he was extremely disappointed when he got the phone call from TPWD telling him is 15 pounder wasn't genetically-fit for ShareLunker.
"You bet I was disappointed," Sims said. "I was a biology teacher. I know how genetics work. There was something about that fish that allowed it to reach 15 pounds. Was it inferior genetics? I don't think so."

The Athens Review
Athens —
Arbra Leon Peavy, 45, of Eustace was sentenced to 18 years in prison Monday for charges including Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon, Forgery and Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information.
Peavy was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Bridget Bateman. Judge Mark Calhoon of the 3rd Judicial District Court imposed the sentence, after Peavy pled guilty to the offenses, as well as offenses of Prohibited Weapon and Failure to Appear, both felonies.
Peavy was indicted by a Henderson Grand Jury for the weapons charges after Henderson County Sheriff's Office Investigators David Faught and Kendell Wellman (now lieutenant) and Bryan Tower (now Captain) and Dep. Billy Jack Valentine encountered Peavy while trying to locate another individual who had felony warrants in December of 2009.
The Sheriff's Office began speaking with Peavy about unsolved theft cases in the county, and Peavy consented to a search of his residence.
During the search of Peavy's bedroom at his residence in Eustace, officers located a shotgun in plain view in the corner of his bedroom. After further inspection, officers determined the barrel of the shot gun had been cut, making the firearm a prohibited weapon.
Officers also knew Peavy to be a convicted felon, and arrested him for Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon and Prohibited Weapon, both 3rd-degree felonies.
While out on bond for those charges awaiting trial, Gun Barrel City arrested Peavy in August, 2011 for Forgery and Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information charges.
Officer Jesse Ison and Investigator Monte Mansfield of the Gun Barrel City Police Department were called to Chaney's Tobacco and Check Cashing Express about a possible forged check someone was trying to pass. When officers arrived they made contact with the owner who advised the check was counterfeit.
The owner advised the bank listed on the check had been contacted, and verified that the account number on the check had been altered. The check had been made out to Leon Peavy, who was still at the scene.
Peavy was arrested for Forgery, which is a State Jail Felony. During a search of his vehicle parked outside the business, officers located additional items of identifying information belonging to seven other individuals.
These items included checks with bank accounts and routing information, driver's license numbers and Social Security cards.
Officers also found a box containing a check starter kit, containing black-check paper in various sizes. Peavy was then charged with Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information, a 3rd-degree felony.
Peavy was also indicted for, and plead guilty to a Failure to Appear charge resulting from failing to appear in court for the felony cases for which he had been indicted.
Peavy has extensive criminal history, including drug convictions, gun possession convictions and previous bail-jumping convictions.
District Attorney Scott McKee credited the hard work of Sheriff Ray Nutt's patrol deputies and investigators, as well as the Gun Barrel City Police Department.
"Sheriff Nutt and I, as well as all law enforcement agencies in Henderson County, will continue to work together to aggressively investigate and prosecute these criminals who continuously violate the laws in our county," McKee said.

text: Riley is a handsome and cuddly English style Labrador. He has a beautiful shiny chocolate coat and sincere eyes. He is a calm puppy who likes to relax and take it easy, but he is also very bouncy and mischievous at times. He follows his human mommy around the house all day long. He enjoys playing in the river, visiting with other dogs and meeting new people. He also enjoys eating sticks, stones and all sorts of other things that he shouldn't. He jumps in the air and does 360 degree turns when it is meal time! He is a wonderful and lovable puppy.

Both Congressman Steve King (R-IA) and Congressman Tom Latham (R-IA) voted no on the fiscal cliff deal yesterday which offered $1 of spending cuts for every $41 in tax increases.
Congressman Latham issued his statement yesterday:
The White House-Senate compromise contains some good provisions I agree with, such as preventing massive tax hikes on most families and finally making the cuts permanent, extending the farm bill, and maintaining the wind energy tax credit. However, it lacks a critical component: necessary spending cuts to address our exploding debt. Our $3.5 trillion budget is and will continue to be our primary fiscal obstacle, and a bill that increases taxes and fails to even begin to address spending decisions is not the action American taxpayers have asked for.
In recent weeks, House Republicans put forth revenue increases as part of a balanced plan that would also tackle Washington's out-of-control spending. Instead of responding in-kind, the President and Senate leadership focused on tax hikes as the centerpiece of any potential deal, and in so doing, they abandoned the historic opportunity to take on deficit reduction in a serious manner.
Because the final legislation asked everything of taxpayers while not forcing Washington to even begin a single step toward curbing its spending addiction, I cannot support it.
Congressman Steve King issued his statement today:
I could not vote for this bill because, as a whole, it's bad for our country. There are a number of provisions in this bill that I support, such as those addressing the Alternative Minimum Tax, the Farm Bill extension, the Production Tax Credit for wind and biodiesel, and making certain tax policies permanent- but I'm not for the permanent and accelerated growth in our debt and deficit. This bill makes no effort to curb the out of control federal spending that's to blame. In fact, it proactively puts off, for another two months, the sequestration – the only serious effort to begin reining in federal spending that's currently on the table. This bill will ensure that the President has yet another opportunity two months from now to pressure Congress for more tax and revenue increases.
The President says he is for a balanced approach to deficit reduction, but this is nothing close to balanced. We cannot tax our way out of the spending dilemma we've created. The American people know that Washington has a spending problem, not a taxing problem. We must dramatically cut spending. I opposed this bill because it raises taxes without any plan to reduce the deficit. It simply kicks the can further down the road and ensures the President will have another crack at taxpayers' wallets while offering no substantive solutions to stop this spending crisis.

|The four Kousenjuu guns and rifles
In the image above, we see from top to bottom: Kousenjuu SP Rifle (光線銃SP ライフル, 1970), Kousenjuu SP Gun (光線銃SP ガン, 1970), Kousenjuu Custom Action Lever Rifle (光線銃 カスタム レバーアクション ライフル, 1971) and Kousenjuu Custom Gun (光線銃 カスタム ガン, 1976).
The Kousenjuu SP and Kousenjuu Custom guns are similar in size and design. The main exterior differences are the color of the handle and the trigger mechanism. Furthermore, the light source of the Kousenjuu Custom Gun is more focused and stronger than that of the Kousenjuu SP Gun, which improves the range of the gun.
The Kousenjuu SP Gun has a white handle and a metal trigger and hammer.
|Kousenjuu SP Gun
The Kousenjuu Custom Gun has a brown handle and a plastic trigger and hammer.
|Kousenjuu Custom Gun
The two rifles are quite different. The Kousenjuu SP Rifle is smaller and much lighter than the Kousenjuu Custom Lever Action Rifle. It is a real toy rifle, and also a lot cheaper than the Kousenjuu Custom Lever Action Rifle. The Kousenjuu Custom Lever Action Rifle on the other hand, is very close to a real riffle. Like the Kousenjuu Custom Gun, it has a better light source and greater range.
The Kousenjuu SP Rifle is prepared for firing by pumping the handle bar underneath the barrel. It came with a small toy telescope sight, with plastic lenses.
|Kousenjuu SP Rifle
The Kousenjuu Custom Lever Action Rifle is loaded by moving the lever underneath the trigger. A professional telescope sight (Custom Lever Action Rifle Scope) with real glass lenses was available as an accessory.
|Kousenjuu Custom Lever Action Rifle
Because of the different light sources in these guns and rifles, they are not fully compatible with all available Kousenjuu targets.
|Leaflet included with Custom Gunman/Lion explains you cannot use SP Gun and Riffle
In particular, the Kousenjuu SP Gun and Rifle cannot be used with Custom Gunman and Custom Lion, as explained by the leaflet pictured above. The leaflet explains that for these targets the Custom (Lever Action) Rifle or Custom Gun should be used. Interestingly, the price for the rifle is quoted as ¥5,000 in 1976, significantly lower than the 1971 introduction price of ¥14,000.
|Compatibility diagram included in the Custom Gunman manual
The compatibility diagram pictured in the Custom Gunman manual also shows which rifle and gun can be used with which target.
|Kousenjuu Custom Target with focus lens attached to the sensor in the middle
The Kousenjuu SP Gun and Rifle can be used for the 1971 Kousenjuu Custom Target, if the focus lens which came with the target is attached to its light sensor. The tag attached to the Kousenjuu Custom Target shows its backward compatibility with the Kousenjuu SP series.
|The Kousenjuu Custom Target also sports the SP label
This compatibility stuff may sound more complicated than it actually is. Just take a look at the table presented below, which summarizes it all.
|Custom Gunman and Custom Lion require a Custom Gun or Custom Rifle

One of the best mini SUV
General Comments:
I fall in love with my Terios car. It's an amazing mini SUV car with extraordinary charisma. Drawbacks are the weak engine (1300cc), and the narrow seats. Otherwise this car is one of the best of its category regarding price, reliability, and mainly charming beauty.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 19th March, 2006
28th May 2007, 16:20
The terios2 2007 is very light car and unstable and the service center is not good.
29th May 2008, 08:19
The terios 2 2007, though much stable then the older model, it is still very light & unstable car at speeds over 100 KM/hr and the service center is not all that good.

A Story About Gideon's Victory
A script based on Judges 6 and 7. God gave the Israelites the Promised Land, but they forgot their God, so He allowed the Midianites to rule. One day Gideon goes to thresh some wheat and is approached by an angel.
The angel greets him as a mighty soldier and says, "I am the angel of the Lord and I am sending you to save Israel from the Midianites!" Gideon doesn't believe what he hears, but is finally convinced. He gathers 32,000 men to fight the Midiantes, but this is too many men! Gideon and the angel find a unique way to pare the number of fighting men to 300, then march forth to fight the most famous "non-battle" in history.

product spotlight: NEW all-in-one cleanser with toner
I've always had trouble remembering to take my makeup off each night, and I know that I'm not alone! According to Dr. Gross, failure to remove your makeup is the number one beauty mistake women make. I thought I had it all figured out with EZ4Us — until they got discontinued. I've used up all my hoarded packettes already, so while I wait until the new version of EZ4Us make their way onto the scene in early 2014, I've been on the hunt for a substitute cleanser. Find out what I'm loving after the jump!

The Daily Star
---- — This weekend feature offers a recap of the week's top local stories:
Amy Ridgway of Oneonta helped stop a serial killer.
While a nurse at Somerset Medical Center in Somerville, N.J., in 2003, she became a confidential informant to help detectives capture Charles Cullen, a colleague and friend who killed dozens of patients during a 16-year career.
On Monday, Ridgway appeared on the nationally syndicated television show, "Katie." Tim Braun, a detective from the case, also was interviewed by host Katie Couric on the program.
In sports: More rain and lightning led to another postponement for the Oneonta Outlaws on Sunday.
But the Outlaws did get a game in Sunday. They defeated the Syracuse Salt Cats, 6-4, in eight innings in the first game of a scheduled New York Collegiate Baseball League doubleheader at Damaschke Field.
In the first concrete sign that potential legal action hovers over the proposed Constitution Pipeline project, the Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society says it has retained the public interest law firm Earthjustice to represent it in fighting the natural gas transmission system.
Also: Former Oneonta Fire Chief Francis "Cootie" Russo Jr. was remembered by colleagues Monday as a good role model who was passionate about training firefighters and community service. Russo's funeral was Thursday.
In sports: Tanner Beang scattered nine hits and hit a go-ahead two-run double in the fourth inning to lead Oneonta to a 4-3 victory over Maine-Endwell in the championship game of the District Seven Little League Tournament on Monday at Doc Knapp Field.
Another operator in a drug-trafficking ring has been arrested, Otsego County deputies said Tuesday, and efforts continue to halt heroin sales in the area.
In sports: Ben Moxley threw a two-hitter, and Zach Pidgeon and David Wright had three hits apiece as Oneonta Post 259 won, 10-0, in a six-inning District Six Legion baseball game Tuesday at Montrose, Pa.
Every family wants to protect its heirlooms. But the environmental watchdogs keeping an eye on one of Otsego County's most significant jewels, Otsego Lake, say the water body is not being adequately protected from the threat of invasive species.
In sports: Brian Kraft and Spencer Duffie had two hits apiece Wednesday, but the Oneonta Outlaws dropped a New York Collegiate Baseball League game, 4-1, to the visiting Geneva Red Wings at Damaschke Field.
A three-day festival at SUNY Delhi starting Saturday includes a one-man show featuring a star of television's "The Addams Family."
John Astin talked by phone Wednesday about his show titled "An Evening with John Astin: Gomez, Poe and The Usual Suspects." That and the other shows in the series will be held 7 p.m. at the college's Okun Theatre in the Farrell Student and Community Center. They are free and open to the public.
In sports: Ben Payton picked the perfect time to say goodbye Thursday. Payton lined a three-run homer over the Oneonta High scoreboard in left field with two out in the bottom of the seventh inning, leading Oneonta Post 259 to a 4-2 Legion baseball victory over visiting Binghamton Post 1645.

Festival Info | Lodging | Weather | Transportation | Tale of the Oregon Truffle
The Oregon Truffle Festival offers a multitude of exciting ways to participate, for a few hours or a full weekend.
Since its inception, workshops, packages and the Grand Truffle Dinner have sold out quickly, so early registration is recommended. All events are located in and around Eugene, Oregon.
A complete Festival Schedule for each Weekend Experience as well as curricula for the two seminars and the speaker roster for the Growers' Forum will be sent to all registrants and posted on our web site as soon as they are available.
"Food is our common ground, a universal experience." - James Beard
2012 Lodging
We are delighted to announce our headquarters hotel in 2012 is The Hilton in downtown Eugene. Located in the heart of our city, the hotel is within walking distance of a number of shops, galleries and fine dining establishments.
The Hilton is also the site of Festival Registration - which opens on Thursday afternoon - as well as all the seminars and lectures on Friday, the Grand Truffle Dinner on Saturday evening, and Sunday's Oregon Truffle Marketplace.
For those attending the Truffle Dog Training Seminar, The Hilton is dog friendly, providing a separate area in the hotel for everyone's comfort and enjoyment.

The Hilton Eugene offers complimentary shuttles to all Eugene airport arrivals and departures. If you choose to fly in and out of Portland, plan for a minimum 2 hour drive from the airport to downtown Eugene.
Once in Eugene, we want you to relax and let us do the driving! The Festival provides comfortable tour buses with restrooms to and from all events not held at the Hilton, and our experienced drivers know how to navigate our rural valleys and hillsides so you can sit back and enjoy the views.
Keep in mind that it is winter, and Oregon can be wet and chilly, so come prepared. Although the average temperature in the southern Willamette Valley in January is mid-30's to mid-40's, and one in ten years can result in snow on the valley floor, it is just as likely to be brilliantly sunny during the last week in January. Thus we recommend both a raincoat and sunglasses. Warm layers of wool or fleece, with a final waterproof, breathable layer are best. A scarf, gloves and a hat will make your head and hands happy. If you are attending the Grand Truffle Dinner, the dress is semi-formal cocktail attire so don't forget to pack something elegant.

Drying Electronics
It isn't too difficult to accidentally drop a small piece of electronics in the drink. This could of course be a cellphone, but there are plenty of other small devices that could find themselves flooded as well. Here's a suggestion about how to handle this little emergency. 1. Take the battery out. 2. If there is a SIM card, take that out as well. 3. Wipe all the moisture off of the outside of the device. 4. Place the device (and battery) in a small container of uncooked rice. Snap on the lid. 5. Take the device out the following day and try it out. Good luck and try not to do that again.

Amy Castle
Posted: February 28, 2009|
I AM hoping that some of your readers may be able to help with information regarding my maiden great aunt, Amy Castle, who died at Ardene Court, 40 Headland Park Road, Paignton, on February 23, 1971 aged 90.
Amy, a spinster, 'disappeared' from New Zealand, her birth country, in 1957, and until a month ago I had no idea that she had emigrated to England in that year, aged 77.
Amy was a well-respected entomologist at the Dominion Museum in Wellington from 1907 to 1931; she was the first entomologist and first woman appointed in a professional role in a New Zealand museum. She fostered interest in entomology in the community through weekly meetings and lectures and was a fellow of the Entomological Society of London.
Over the past 15 years there has been considerable interest in Amy and her achievements, and a feeling in scientific circles that she was undervalued in her time; there is an incomplete entry about her in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography.
I have no idea why Amy travelled to England, or Paignton in particular, as she had no known family there. I would be most appreciative of any information or help regarding Amy so that her entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography may be updated.

'Friends And Neighbors' Exception Part Of Deal On Gun Checks
Originally published on Wed April 10, 2013 12:52 pm
We last updated this post at 1:50 p.m. ET:
Saying "this is a start and it's not the end of our work," Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia confirmed Wednesday morning that he and Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania have put together a bipartisan plan that they believe will "keep guns out of dangerous hands."
Manchin said the plan, which is intended to close the so-called gun show loophole by extending background checks to purchases made at such shows, has the support of a leading Democratic senator, Charles Schumer of New York, and Illinois Republican Sen. Mark Kirk. It would also require background checks for gun purchases made over the Internet.
"I don't consider criminal background checks to be gun control," Toomey added. "I consider it to be common sense."
Asked whether his support for this plan might put his "A" rating from the National Rifle Association at risk, Toomey told reporters that "what matters to me is doing the right thing."
Manchin said he has spoken with "my friends in the gun culture of West Virginia" and that "they understand this is common sense."
The senators said they also will be calling for "a commission on mass violence" with experts on guns, mental illness and school safety included in its membership.
CNN is reporting that Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said he will introduce the legislation in the House.
As we reported earlier, the Manchin-Toomey proposal is due to be introduced as an amendment to Democratic-backed gun legislation that the Senate is due to begin debating Thursday.
Update at 1:50 p.m. ET: Highlights of the Manchin-Toomey plan, which the senators are calling "The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act," are online here.
Our original post, at 10:36 a.m. ET — 'Friends And Neighbors' Exception Part Of Deal On Gun Checks:
With the Senate set to vote on Democratic-backed gun control legislation that a group of Republicans have promised to filibuster, there's word that two key senators have put the finishing touches on a compromise over one key issue — "universal" background checks for gun purchasers.
Senators Joe Manchin, D-Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., are set to formally unveil their plan at 11 a.m. ET. (C-SPAN will stream their news conference.)
Politico, which says it has obtained a "fact sheet" about the compromise "from a representative of one of the gun control groups involved in the talks," writes that:
"The deal would close the so-called gun show loophole, requiring that background checks are conducted on all commercial gun sales in the country. ... When a sale occurs, the buyer and seller would meet at a licensed dealer, who would conduct the check. ...
"The fact sheet stresses that the dealer records would help law enforcement trace guns recovered at crime scenes. However, person-to-person sales — the 'friends and neighbors exceptions' would not be subject to a check."
That last provision, about sales between friends, family members and neighbors, has been among the issues that opponents of new gun laws have been concerned about. They make the case that requiring background checks for such sales would be too much of a burden.
But so-called straw purchases, when a person with a clean record buys a gun for someone who legally couldn't make such a purchase, also are of concern. The Hill says the Manchin-Toomey plan includes "a bipartisan provision to enact tougher penalties on straw purchasers."
According to Politico, the Manchin-Toomey deal "would be offered as an amendment to an existing Democratic gun bill."
The Hill adds that:
"Hopes for a deal on background checks have rested for days in the talks between Manchin, a centrist Democrat with an A rating from the National Rifle Association, and Toomey, who represents a state that has leaned toward Democrats in presidential election years. Toomey is up for reelection in 2016, the next presidential election year."
We'll monitor the senators' news conference and update this post.

Nice quick fix for seat protectors. It was obviously easy installation since it just slides over headrest. Only downside is that it does follow you out the car, so just have to take extra care to place back onto seat when leaving the vehicle. I do wish it did come with some kind of straps that could hook underneath seat. But overall stylish, comfortable, and inexpensive.4 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful for you?

The Numbers
Why ABC's 'Castle' Just Got Renewed
The good folks at Nielsen, apparently in a generous mood, have decided to share some ratings data with the rest of the world this morning by releasing numbers for Monday night's primetime shows.
My colleague Sergio Ibarra will have a more detailed report later, but Monday's figures provide some clues to the fates of several shows:
—ABC's "Castle" popped big time, jumping to a 2.8/7 behind an average episode of "Dancing with the Stars." The series had been averaging just about a 2 rating in the demo. ABC executives were already leaning toward a renewal for the Nathan Fillion crime caper; assuming Nielsen doesn't change its mind and confess to some big mistake, "Castle" fans can start looking forward to season two.
—NBC's "Deal or No Deal" returned with a just-plain-said 1.2/3 at 8 p.m. If this doesn't convince NBC executives that the low-to-mid 2 rating averaged by "Chuck" is worth preserving with a third season, I don't know what would.
—"24" turned in a 3.3/8, which is about what it's been averaging in recent weeks. The show is often described by Fox as one of it's major tentpoles, but the show now regularly finishes third in the 9 p.m. timeslot, despite a huge lead-in from "House." Given the costs associated with the production of "24," I wouldn't be surprised if Fox used its upfront presentation later this month to announce that next year will be the swan song for Jack Bauer. At least on the small screen.

Timeline History of SUNY Upstate Medical University
An earlier version of the following chronological list of events in the history of
the former SUNY Health Science Center at Syracuse appeared in the Alumni Journal of
the SUNY HSC [i.e., Upstate] / Syracuse Medical Alumni Association (Winter 1998): 13-18.
September 15, 1834 -- Trustees of Geneva College (now called Hobart and William Smith Colleges) approve the suggestion of Professor of Chemistry Edward Cutbush, M.D. (1772-1843), to create a medical school. First known as the Medical Institution of Geneva College, then as Geneva Medical College, it was the thirtieth medical school founded in North America and the seventh in New York. Today it is the sixteenth oldest North American medical school and the second oldest in New York, behind only Columbia. Cutbush later became the school's first Dean.
January 20, 1840 -- Professor of Surgery David L. Rogers, M.D. (1799-1877), resigns from the faculty in protest. Rogers was the only professor to support Andrew Boardman, M.D. 1840, the disgruntled student who created a scandal by publishing An Essay on the Means of Improving Medical Education and Elevating Medical Character, a blunt polemic against what he perceived as Geneva Medical College's weaknesses in teaching, disadvantages in clinical facilities, and misrepresentations to students.
1840 -- Frank Hastings Hamilton, M.D. (1813-1886), begins an eight-year term as Professor of Surgery. Hamilton later achieved great fame as a military surgeon, an orthopedic surgeon, and an advocate of sanitation and antisepsis.
1847 -- Austin Flint, M.D. (1812-1886), begins a two-year term at Geneva Medical College as Lecturer on the Theory and Practice of Medicine. Dubbed "The American Laënnec" by S.D. Gross, M.D., for his work in thoracic diagnosis, Flint was President of the New York Academy of Medicine from 1872 to 1885 and President of the American Medical Association in 1884.
October 20, 1847 -- As a practical joke on the faculty, the entire medical student body votes unanimously to accept the application of a woman for admission to medical school. The lone dissenter among the students is physically coerced into changing his vote. The prominent public health pioneer and surgeon, Stephen Smith, M.D. (1823-1922), briefly a student at Geneva Medical College, reported this incident in a letter to the New York Church Union in 1892.
November 11, 1847 -- Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) arrives at Geneva Medical College to begin her studies. Immediately (as reported by Smith in his 1892 letter) the usual vulgar, boisterous, and macho atmosphere of the medical college becomes more civilized, as male students, shamed by her dignity and intelligence, settle down to serious work.
January 23, 1849 -- Elizabeth Blackwell is graduated from Geneva Medical College and thus becomes the first woman in the world to earn a regular M.D. Dean Charles A. Lee, M.D. (1801-1872), praises her in his valedictory address as "a memorable example of what woman can undertake and accomplish" but warns that women entering the medical profession "must ever be too few, to disturb the existing relations of society."
1851 -- Convinced that the lack of nearby clinical facilities would soon make competition with urban medical schools impossible in the age of anesthesia, and disgusted by rapidly declining enrollments following the hostile reaction of the medical community at large to the graduation of Elizabeth Blackwell, one of the Curators of Geneva Medical College, Sumner Rhoades, M.D. 1840 (1817-1877), publicly advocates closing the medical school and substituting a school of agriculture.
1865 -- As a last, desperate effort to obtain the use of local clinical facilities, Geneva Medical College strikes a deal with the Willard State Psychiatric Hospital in Ovid. This measure proves to be too little and too late. Enrollments continue to slip into the single digits.
March 25, 1870 -- The Methodist Church charters Syracuse University.
1871 -- Hobart College dissolves the medical faculty and sells the medical library and anatomical museum to Dean John Towler, M.D. 1855 (1811-1886).
December 4, 1871 -- The Trustees of Syracuse University approve Towler's offer to donate the property of Geneva Medical College to SU on condition that SU establish and maintain a regular medical college consistent with AMA standards. Professor of Surgery Frederick Hyde, M.D. (1809-1887) became the first Dean at the new location, and Towler became Professor of Chemistry, Pharmacy, and Toxiocology.
1872 -- Mother Marianne Cope, Administrator of St. Joseph's Hospital in Syracuse allows students from Geneva Medical College to utilize St. Joseph's for their years of clinical instruction. This approval was instrumental in the decision to move Geneva Medical College to Syracuse University. Mother Marianne insisted on the right of each patient to be treated with respect and dignity.
1872 -- First classes held in temporary quarters in the Clinton Block next to the Erie Canal.
1872 -- John S. Van Duyn, M.D. (1843-1934), begins a monumental 54-year medical teaching career in which he offered courses on anatomy, histology, ophthalmology, otology, surgery, and the history of medicine. He retired in 1926 as Professor of Surgery.
1875 -- The College of Medicine moves into permanent quarters at the remodeled carriage factory on McBride Street. Medical faculty mandates compulsory student participation in all autopsies.
1876 -- Sarah Marinda Loguen (1850-1933), daughter of abolitionist Rev. Jermain Wesley Loguen, becomes the first African-American woman to earn an M.D. from Syracuse University. After practicing in Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington, D.C., she moved in 1882 to Santo Domingo, where she married Charles A. Fraser.
1877 -- William Pepper, M.D. (1843-1898), of the University of Pennsylvania compares the Syracuse University College of Medicine favorably with Penn, Harvard, Chicago Medical College, and the University of Michigan.
1882 -- Henry Leopold Elsner, M.D. (1855-1916) begins teaching medicine in Syracuse. His intimate familiarity with German methods of medical education enabled Syracuse University College of Medicine to be among the first in America after Johns Hopkins to build and upgrade laboratory facilities on the then state-of-the-art German model, a major improvement which many American medical schools did not make until after the 1910 Flexner Report.
1887 -- Professor of Medicine Henry Darwin Didama, M.D. (1823-1905) becomes Dean. In the 1870s he was the leader of the movement at Syracuse University toward three-year graded medical instruction, systematic medical research, and rigorous clinical training.
1896 -- The medical school moves into a new building at 309 South McBride Street.
1901 -- Halbert S. Steensland, M.D. (1872-1925), Director of the Pathological Laboratory, arranges for students to participate in the microscopic analysis of morbid laboratory specimens at the House of the Good Shepherd, the Episcopal hospital on Marshall Street.
1905 -- Gaylord P. Clark, M.D. 1880 (1856-1907) becomes Dean.
1905 -- Syracuse University purchases the Yates Castle estate and fourteen acres on Irving Avenue. Today it is the site of much of the SUNY Upstate Medical University campus. Yates Castle itself, built in 1852, was torn down in 1954, but a portion of the outer wall remains along Irving Avenue in front of Weiskotten Hall and the Health Sciences Library.
1908 -- John L. Heffron, M.D. 1881 (1851-1924) becomes Dean.
1910 -- Despite its small library, its loose alliance with Syracuse University, and its constant struggles to maintain financial support, Syracuse University College of Medicine survives the Flexner Report, which is responsible for the demise of dozens of medical schools not meeting its standards of laboratory-based instruction, clinical diversity, and financial stability. Its survival is mostly thanks to the vision and efforts of Didama, Elsner, and Van Duyn.
1914 -- The Syracuse Free Dispensary and City Health Department Clinic opens in a new building on Fayette Street, adjacent to the medical school.
1915 -- Syracuse University buys the House of the Good Shepherd from the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York for $76,000, and thus for the first time has its own teaching hospital.
1925 -- After serving as Acting Dean for three years, pathologist Herman Gates Weiskotten, M.D. '09 (1884-1972), becomes Dean. He holds this post until 1951 and brings the College of Medicine through the difficult depression years of the 1930s into the modern medical world.
June 4, 1934 -- Harvey Cushing, M.D. (1869-1939), the world's foremost neurosurgeon, gives the keynote address at the centennial celebration of the medical school and acknowledges the value of Syracuse University's contribution to the general development of American medical education: "What is historically important is that your school here at Syracuse was the first in New York State and the second in the country [behind only Harvard] to replace the traditional but outworn order of things by progressive exercises for nine months in the year over a period of three years a programme to which other schools quickly followed suit."
1934 -- Dean Weiskotten, appointed by the AMA Council on Medical Education and Hospitals, designs and leads the first full inspection of American medical schools since the Flexner Report. He is away from Syracuse for most of the next two years making this survey. His team finds about 20 of the 89 American and Canadian schools below accepted standards. Before this survey, only 66 of the 79 American schools had full four-year programs; but after the survey, they all do.
September 29, 1936 -- President Franklin D. Roosevelt lays the cornerstone of the new College of Medicine building, now known as Weiskotten Hall.
Spring 1941 -- Professor of Orthopedics Richard S. Farr, M.D. (1890-1977), organizes the U.S. Army 52nd General Hospital. The unit is commissioned on September 1, 1942, and serves with distinction in the European Theatre of Operations.
June 1, 1950 -- Syracuse University sells its medical school to the State University of New York, which re-establishes it as the SUNY College of Medicine at Syracuse.
1951 -- Founder of the Department of Neurosurgery Arthur D. Ecker, M.D., Ph.D., publishes The Normal Cerebral Angiogram, the first American book on cerebral angiography.
January 1953 -- Because of its close relations with the University Hospital of the Good Shepherd and other clinical facilities, and because there are plans to begin offering other degrees besides the M.D., SUNY College of Medicine at Syracuse changes its name to SUNY Upstate Medical Center.
June 1953 -- Julius B. Richmond, M.D., begins a seventeen-year term as Professor of Pediatrics. In 1971 he became Chair of the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and in 1977 President Jimmy Carter appointed him U.S. Surgeon General and Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services.
1956 -- Professor of Otolaryngology Gordon D. Hoople, M.D. 1919 (1895-1973), begins a three-year term as President of the American Board of Otolaryngology. Other highlights of his career included Chairman of the Syracuse University Board of Trustees and founder of the Hearing and Speech Center at Syracuse University.
September 1957 -- Carlyle F. Jacobsen, Ph.D. (1902-1974), assumes the new position of President of the Upstate Medical Center. Prior to this, the Dean of the College of Medicine was the head of campus administration.
September 1959 -- The School of Nursing admits its first class.
1961 -- Professor of Psychiatry Thomas Szasz, M.D., publishes The Myth of Mental Illness, a best-selling work which earns him an international reputation as a libertarian philosopher of medicine.
1962 -- Husband and wife pharmacologists Jay Tepperman, M.D., and Helen M. Tepperman, Ph..D., publish the first of five editions of Metabolic and Endocrine Physiology, a standard textbook for three decades.
1965 -- The School of Allied Health Professions opens, known later as the College of Health Related Professions and today as the College of Health Professions.

1968 -- Lewis W. Bluemle, Jr., M.D., is inaugurated as the second President.
1968 -- SUNY Upstate Medical Library becomes the site of the world's first interactive online bibliographic retrieval service when Irwin H. Pizer (1934-1991), Library Director from 1964 to 1969, institutes the SUNY Biomedical Communication Network on campus. By 1976 this network had evolved into the well-known commercial network, Bibliographic Retrieval Services, later BRS Online, now part of Ovid Technologies, owned by Wolters Kluwer.
1972 -- Professor of Medicine William J. Williams, M.D., publishes the first edition of Hematology, now the standard textbook in its field.
1975 -- Richard P. Schmidt, M.D., is inaugurated as the third President.
1981 -- Professor of Neurosurgery Robert B. King, M.D., founds the Research Foundation of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.
1985 -- Professor of Pathology John Bernard Henry, M.D., is inaugurated as the fourth President.

Thomasville, Georgia-- Betty and George Taylor are dealing with the epitome of a sinking feeling. They were surprised one morning this week to find a giant sinkhole in their yard.
What if it had been my trailer? Where would I have been? Down in a hole. I've never seen anything like this before," says Betty. Neither had her husband, George. "Oh wow. I said, we have got a major problem," he says.
The Taylor's insurance adjustor agrees, they have a whole lot of trouble on their hands. "Wow, I can't believe it. This is really big. We've seen it on highways, roadways, but this by far exceeds anything I've seen in my years of being with State Farm," says insurance adjustor, Dale Delk.
But this enormous sinkhole isn't near a road, it's in the Taylor's front yard in Thomasville. They think a rock broke a water line from a well. They've already replaced the old one. "The other slab, we don't know. It's down in the hole somewhere," says Betty.
The hole is about 20 feet wide and 12 feet deep. "It was about eight feet deep but it dropped down more," says Georgia. Water had been slowly seeping in for the past month, until on Tuesday... "It just started squirting every which away," says George.
And now... "The county's going to have to wait until it settles before putting some sand in it," says George. "Thank you, Lord, that it was where it was at if it had to be," adds Betty.
The new pump the Taylors had to buy cost more than $6500. They're hoping insurance will cover what they call a freak occurrence.

Lebanon —
A three-way stop will not be coming to Elizaville Road and Ulen Drive and Grant Street after a committee formed to look into the possibility decided against it.
The committee was Street Superintendent Larry Lee, Lebanon Police Chief Sam Myers and Board of Works member Steve Large. Lee told the Board of Works at Monday's meeting they had a traffic counter at the intersection from June 7 to 12, and the numbers didn't make him think a three-way stop was necessary at this time. That could change once school starts back up in the fall.
"I'm sure the numbers will be a bit higher once school starts, and I'm sure we can do this again then," Lee said. "But this time, we felt like there was no need for a three-way stop there."
The fire and police departments thought the three-way stop would actually create more problems, like traffic back-up, Lee said.
Per Lee's request, the board took no action.

Ben Solomon Carson
Benjamin Solomon Carson was born in 1951 in Detroit, Michigan, and endured a childhood of cruelty and poverty. His mother raised Dr. Solomon and his brother by herself and he performed poorly as a student.
With his mother's intervention and despite an admittedly violent temper and the racism in his high school, Dr. Carson graduated at the top of his class and enrolled at Yale University where he earned his B.A. in 1973. He then enrolled in the School of Medicine at the University of Michigan and earned his medical degree in 1977 and moved with his wife Maryland.
Dr. Carson became a resident at Johns Hopkins University and by 1982 was the chief resident in neurosurgery.
In 1983, Carson was invited to work at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia, where, because of a shortage of doctors in the country, he gained several years' worth of experience in a short time.
In 1985, while in his early 30s, Dr. Carson became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Some of Dr. Carson's achievements include successfully detaching twins conjoined at the head in 1987 and his groundbreaking surgery on a twin suffering from an abnormal expansion of the head - conducted while the baby was still in the mother's uterus. Dr. Carson has performed operations which have greatly expanded scientific knowledge of the brain and its functions.
Today, Dr. Carson performs 500 operations a year, three times as many as most neurosurgeons, a fact for which he credits his very, very efficient staff.
Dr. Carson has also become a well-known inspirational writer and speaker, using his career, with its a triumph over circumstances, as a role model and source of inspiration. His spirit and medical expertise have made him the surgeon of choice for parents with children suffering rare neurological conditions.
