I've only ever been an occasional watcher of The Closer, but I thought the presentation of its spin-off, Major Crimes, did something very smart today: TNT said the show would, in part, be about how California's fiscal crisis has affected its criminal justice system.
"We're about to release 30,000 prisoners in the state of California because we can't house them in a humane way," said Executive Producer James Duff. "Last year in pursuit of the death penalty, the state of California spent $172 million."
This, of course, is true—Gov. Jerry Brown's budget is projected to bring the state's deficit down to $9.2 billion, which is not small potatoes, and leaves the state with a long way to go. And that fiscal crunch and prison overcrowding are a tremendous problem that has a real impact on how people carry out their duties, whether it's prison guards using different tactics on maintain control on unit, or the situations in which prosecutors are willing to cut deals and how they think about probation versus jail time. It's intelligent to have a show acknowledge that, and to draw its drama from the ongoing structural problems of the state. It's not exactly Tony Kushner's East Coast Ode to Howard Jarvis, which is about the reasons California is broke and the tax-dodging mentality that crops up like an infectious disease. But it's still a decision that reflects a sense of both time and place, that actually makes use of the fact that the show is happening in California instead of just being there because it's easy.

Three men charged with conspiring to commit domestic terrorism during the NATO summit were plotting to attack President Obama's Chicago campaign headquarters, the Chicago mayor's home and police stations, authorities said Saturday.
A police investigation that began early this month revealed that the three suspects are "self-proclaimed anarchists" and members of the "Black Bloc" group who traveled together from Florida to Chicago to commit violence as a protest against the NATO summit, authorities said in a statement.
"Black Bloc" was the group blamed for violence that occurred in recent "Occupy" protests, such as in Rome last year when anarchists in ski masks torched cars and clashed with police and even other Occupy protesters.
The three men were planning to destroy police cars and attack four Chicago police district stations with destructive devices as a way to undermine police response to other planned actions at the NATO summit, according to a statement by Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy. Downtown Chicago financial institutions were also among the proposed targets, authorities said.
An Illinois judge set bail at $1.5 million for each of the three suspects: Brian Church, 22, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Jared Chase, 27, of Keene, New Hampshire; and Brent Betterly, 24, who told police he resides in Massachusetts, authorities said.
The three men were charged with material support for terrorism, conspiracy to commit terrorism, and possession of explosives or incendiary devices, authorities said. The three men were arrested Wednesday, and charges were announced Saturday, according to authorities.
"The individuals that we have charged in this investigation are not peaceful protesters. They are domestic terrorists who came to Chicago with an anarchist agenda to harm our police officers, intimidate our citizens and to attack their politically motivated targets," said Alvarez.
According to authorities, Church said he wanted to recruit four groups of four co-conspirators -- or 16 people -- and that reconnaissance had already been done on the Chicago Police Department headquarters.
The three men also possessed or built improvised exposive or incendiary devices, a mortar gun, swords, a hunting bow, throwing stars, and knives with brass-knuckle handles, authorities said.
In court, prosecutors accused the three men of preparing for "violence and destruction," such as stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

The House of Lords has found on 10 April 2003 that the marriage was not valid, because English law does not recognise any change of gender. The Lords decided that they did not have the power to change the relevant legislation and that any change in the law would require parliament to act.
The case was brought by Mrs Bellinger of Lincoln, after a succession of courts ruled that her 21-year marriage was void because of sex-change surgery undertaken in the early 1980s. As UK law currently forbids same sex marriage the Lords were ruling on whether at the time of her marriage Mrs Bellinger could legally be recognised as a women. Ruling on the original case brought by Mrs Bellinger, judge Gavin Lightman has said: "Sex is determined at birth and cannot subsequently be altered by any such operation as was undergone by the claimant."
In July 2002 the European Court decided in the cases of Goodwin v The United Kingdom and "I" v The United Kingdom that section 11(c) of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 is not compatible with the European Convention of Human Rights as .there had been a violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) and a violation of Article 12 (right to marry and to found a family). This means that UK law is currently in breach of the European Convention fo Human Rights and that UK law needs to be changed.
It was on this basis that Mrs Bellinger sought to challenge the annulment of her marriage, a challenge that the courts were not able to accept.
The Lords accepted that "the criteria for designating a person as male
female are complex" but felt that such a substantive change to British
lay outside of the remit of the courts.
"This [case] raises a question which ought to be considered as part of an overall review of the most appropriate way to deal with the difficulties confronting transsexual people," said the ruling.
"A change in the law as sought by Mrs Bellinger must be a matter for deliberation and decision by parliament when the forthcoming Bill is introduced."
The Lord Chancellor's Department accepted the incompatibility of the ban on
transsexual marriage with the Human Rights Act, and has promised to
introduce measures to address the problem.
The Lord Chancelors Department has provided a FAQ
page on what this ruling means for those in similar situations.
Details of the governments legal view on transgender issues can be found on

People" page.

Daniel Sroka creates abstract, dream-like images out of the simple elements of nature, such as leaves, sticks, flowers, and seeds. He finds most of his subjects as he walks through the parks and gardens near his home, collecting the sticks and leaves that have fallen to the ground. In his hands, these overlooked natural objects reveal their complexity and subtlety:
"As a sculptor's chisel is guided by the veins of a stone, I let the unique characteristics of each natural object guide my hand and eye, allowing me to uncover patterns and forms hidden deep within the raw material."
The resulting photographs become sculptures of light, texture, and dimension that celebrate the physical and spiritual grace found within the simplest elements of nature.

Hello, friends. Welcome back to 8 Exposures, our instant film-themed Q&A series. This entry focuses on Italian photographer Gian Guido Zurli…
Q1) What kind of Polaroid camera(s) do you use?
A: I prefer mainly the SX-70 and the Automatic 100. I have a dozen Polaroid cameras. I recently bought a Graflex Crown Graphic that I would like to use with Polaroid backs.
Q2) Why do you like instant photography?
A: I like instant photography because it is pure poetry. Digital photography is too fast, you can see the result before taking a picture. How is that satisfying? This feature is killing true photography, especially fine-art photography. I'm always impatient. So I can't wait to come back into the darkroom to see my pictures finished. Instant photography is for me the right balance between digital and analog. It's almost fast as digital, but with the unique and romantic flavor of analogue.
Q3) What is your earliest memory of instant film?
A: Like all those born in the 70s, I received a Polaroid 600 camera as a gift. I took some pictures during carnival celebrations with other children. A few years later I found a Polaroid camera in the basement that belonged to my father. I think it was a model 340 but I'm not sure. I wanted to use it, but at that time all the dealers in the city told me that it was not possible to find the battery. Only many years later I realized that was not true and that I could use the...Read All

"Tears on My Pillow" was the first song for Little Anthony and the Imperials. Released in 1958, it was an instant hit. The song made Little Anthony, who was still in high school at the time, a star.
"I didn't realize how big it had become," Little Anthony says. "Every station you turned to was 'Tears on My Pillow.' So I said, "What am I doing in school? I'm a star, I am out of here!' I left."
His journey to musical fame was on its way with follow up hits like "Going Out of My Head and "Hurt So Bad," with many more smash hits were to come.
Some called the group's sound doo-wop, but Little Anthony (born Jerome Anthony Gourdine), who grew up in Brooklyn, says the style is rhythm and blues, the same R and B music that they sang on the corner.
"We call it street corner, because that is where you basically sung it," he says. "Or you sang it in the subways to get that sound because of the echoes."
Anthony lived in the Fort Greene Public Housing development and went to Boys High School. He says he was a part of gang back in the day. "I should have been dead," he says. "The things I did as a young man. I came up totally in the streets."
But with guidance from his parents, who were both in the music business, he pushed forward with his career. And that falsetto voice was a big help as well. He can still hit many of the high notes.
"It is just a gift that I have this voice," he said. "It is not like I have some formula, (like) if you take two pills and have some honey and your voice is great. No, every day I open my mouth, it comes out. That's supernatural."
Nowadays, he's still performing with the original members of The Imperials from his old Brooklyn neighborhood.
Over the years, a lot of Little Anthony's songs were about the pain and heartbreak love can bring. But those same songs have brought him and his fans a lot of happy memories as well.

As I will be announcing in the newsletter in a little bit, the holiday for tomorrow that was selected is called the "Holiday of Me."
So here's what I wrote:
Here are the results of this contest. We had some fun entries and some of them made me laugh, some of them moved me and it was hard to pick.
My favorite's were two entries that were essentially the same idea. Here's what they said:
1. I was reading the newsletter and thought of this holiday, probably because I bought ascrapbooking book yesterdy and today I feel a little guilty for having spent the money on something like that. Well, maybe I should make this a holiday and once a year tradition and I wouldn't feel guilty about it if it were a holiday.
It's "For me day"
Today I can buy the one (and only one) thing that I desperatly want buy can't justify buying.
Today is that day when I don't need an excuse, I can buy it because it's "For me day"
The date: March 24th
This one came from Amanda
2. I would like to propose the Holiday of Me. I suppose, theoretically, that's what a birthday is supposed to be, but it doesn't turn out that way. It's about other people focusing on you, and it isn't always very genuine. No, in spite of all the hype about the "me" generation, and the "me" society, I don't think that very many people are comfortable with taking the time to celebrate the uniqueness of who they are -- or feeling they have the permission do to so. We might briefly celebrate our successes, but we never celebrate the essence of who we are....and that's a concept worth both celebration and reflection at least once a year! And that's my 2 cents! - Jan
Now, I liked that idea because I tend to get lost in work and what I am trying to do for everybody else. I guess I am ready for a ME day!
So let's do it! Let's take a day tomorrow and do stuff that we have been putting off doing for ourselves. Then let's report here what we did and if we do layouts about our thoughts and experiences, we can post them to the gallery and link to them so show each other.
I have some ideas of what I might be doing. Let's see if I can actually pull it off!

Today I sat at my computer to learn how to use my GIMP program. I printed off tutorial and made 2 background pages. Well. I learned a couple of things ... don't put shadows on backgrounds. I will probably use them to mat pictures. Later I am going to go thru the tuts and create. I also made a page about me which I have never done before.
Posted 25 March 2006 - 06:33 PM
Today I had to be responsible and go into the office, but even that didn't stop me from indulging in the "Holiday of Me". I make a quick detour to The Other Side (a second hand/thrift/rummage shop owned by my former neice-in-law) and picked up the silver and Lapis ring I saw a few weeks ago but didn't buy. It's now on my finger and will match the other lapis pieces I've collected over the last few months that I'll wear tonight when I take myself to see a local production of King Lear.
Now I'm off to change...

Lovin' this holiday thing, . Today when I told dh about our holiday, he thought it was a great idea. Says we should make it a point to put it on our calendars for the years to come, . So anyhow, today I've bought myself lots of wonderful things. Too much to list for sure, . Tomorrow we must go grocery shopping, but only after we go over to the mall so I can pick something up that's a bit more special, . Will share that with you all later in a layout somehow, . This "For Me Day" is really a wonderful thing, .
To have a friend is to have a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold and an extra pair of legs when yours are too weak to stand alone...
I have been living buried in books and writing classes... as an added note I must say that it is rather scary when you start dreaming and all you can see within your dreams is words floating everywhere!

I went back to bed this morning after dh got up (I always have to get up with the toddler! lol) and slept till after noon! woohoo! lol had donuts for brunch (bad bad for the diet! lol) and then played around on my computer till the big dinner out with the ILs. dd cooperated nicely and fell asleep in the car on the way home and (knock on wood!) is still sleeping nicely an hour later. lets hope that holds because I'm about ready to finish one layout that I'm very excited about (I learned some new tricks!) and have several more planned. I think I can get 4 layouts finished tonight!! thats the goal!! lol I didn't go buy my book tho..have to do that next week! lol

The Medical Devices Sector covers a wide range of products, from simple bandages, wheelchairs, contact lenses to the most sophisticated life-supporting products, and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, and treatment of diseases and the improvement of the quality of life of people suffering from disabilities.
Over the coming years, medical technology innovations will fundamentally transform health care by providing new solutions incorporating medical devices that will revolutionise the way treatments are administered. Already medical technologies that would have been considered the stuff of science fiction just a couple of years ago are rapidly becoming the standard of care. Billions of patients worldwide depend on medical technology, at home, in nursing homes and in hospital.
The pace of medical invention is accelerating, inspiring hope for better clinical outcomes with less invasive procedures and shorter recovery times. New innovations and developments suggest an unfolding pattern of "smart" technologies that integrate engineering and biological approaches, and that will provide better clinical interventions.
As these technologies advance, the critical path from promising new science and lab discoveries to applications that treat patients may present greater challenges for both innovative device manufacturers and for the Regulators.
The Medical Devices Sector in Ireland
Ireland has been extremely successful in developing an internationally renowned centre for medical technology, with over 250 companies currently developing and manufacturing medical devices here. 100 of these are indigenous and seventeen of the top 25 global medical technologies (devices and diagnostics) companies are located in Ireland, including Abbott, Hospira, Medtronic, J&J, Baxter, Boston Scientific and Stryker Ireland, Cook Medical, Merit Medical, Technopath Manufacturing, Arc Royal, Nypro Healthcare, Pro-Tek, Res Med, Bellurgan, Delcath Systems Inc., and Diaceutics Dundalk.
View video profiles of 6 leading medical device companies working in Ireland here.
More than 60 of the 140 medical technologies companies in Ireland are Irish owned. Internationally recognised Irish multinationals in the sector include Creganna, Trulife and Steripack. Products manufactured in Ireland include interventional products, diagnostics, medical equipment, dental, vision and hearing products and orthopaedic implants.
Medical devices companies export medical products amounting to approximately €6 billion per annum, which represents 9% of Ireland's total exports. A recent Government survey has shown that 80% of the companies in the sector are "innovation active". Despite the current economic climate the Irish Medtech sector has continued to do well.
The latest Census results show that the medical devices sector registered the highest employment growth across the manufacturing sector, increasing by 10% to 24,305. IBEC's most recent sector sentiment and investment survey showed that confidence in the future is high and two thirds of medical technology companies expect turnover to increase going forward. Nearly 1,500 jobs and €200 million in investment has been publicly announced over the past 2 years.
Many companies are now engaged in Research and Development (R&D) and business service operations. The Irish owned medical device segment is relatively small, but has demonstrated growth potential in recent years, as illustrated by companies such as Proxy Biomedical, Clearstream, Zerusa and Brivant. It is true to say that there is a broader range of companies within the medical technologies sector involved in R&D than is the case for the pharma or biotechnology sectors.
View a detailed description of the Medical Devices sector compiled by the Irish Medical Devices Association from the Ask the Experts panel above right.
The Work
The Medical devices sector is made up of a variety of occupations as follows: The work in this sector can be viewed as arising from the following main functions:InnovationInnovation - the ability to create something new or finding a better ways of doing something is at the heart of this sector. Traditionally, most medical device innovation comes from interaction between clinicians (medical specialists) and engineers. It is based on the sound application of existing mechanical or electronic engineering technologies – often mature technologies – to clinical problems.The more fundamental innovations typically come from leading clinicians seeking to innovate in clinical practice, which may or may not be in the context of formal research activity. More incremental innovations may be initiated by clinicians, or by engineers seeking improved engineering solutions. Engineers still rely on the clinical insights of leading clinicians to validate their ideas. The main engineering disciplines for medical devices innovation are mechanical, electronic and biomedical. Biomedical engineering combines mechanical (sometimes electronic) engineering with biomedical sciences and biocompatible materials science. The innovation process typically goes through a succession of prototypes, leading to the production of functioning prototypes that can be used in clinical trials. The prototypes are typically produced by highly skilled technicians.With the increased use of biologically active substances in the medical device sector's products, professionals with skills in both small molecule substances and the large molecule, and even cellular, products of biotechnology are required. This trend is making skills in biological sciences, chemistry and pharmacology increasingly important to innovation in medical devices, alongside the clinical and engineering skills that have traditionally dominated innovation. Clinical TrialsIn order to confirm their effectiveness and safety, medical devices undergo clinical trials before they are brought to market.Clinical trials require skills in the following main areas:
Internationally, many clinical trials specialists come from nursing backgrounds, after taking further qualifications in the design, management and conduct of clinical trials.ProductionBiomechanical and Bioelectronic DevicesThere is considerable diversity among medical devices production processes. While production of some medical devices products is heavily automated, many devices are assembled, tested and packaged manually. This diversity means that there are considerable variations in the mix of skills required between different medical devices production operations.Key occupational areas involved in day-to-day operations include the following.
A number of roles concerned with the design, improvement and management of production processes are also important in the sector, including the following:
Bio-convergence Devices and DiagnosticsWhere devices include significant biologically active components, companies employ scientists, science technicians and processing operatives with skills similar to those of the small molecule pharmaceutical or bio-pharmaceutical industries. They undertake roles parallel to those of engineers, technicians and machine operators in manufacturing biomechanical and bioelectronic devices. Qualifications of scientists are generally between primary degree and PhD level.The term "technician" can cover a wide range of levels of skill and qualification, and can encompass process operative-type roles. Qualifications can range from a certificate at the equivalent of around Level 6 in the National Framework of Qualifications up to masters level (Level 9) for very highly skilled roles. The trend is for operative level workers to have specialist qualifications, whether obtained full-time in a training scheme or in college, or part-time after recruitment through certified training sourced by their employer.In diagnostics, technicians are generally qualified to at least Level 6 in the National Framework of Qualifications in an appropriate discipline. Where the biologically active material plays an significant active role in the product, it can be necessary for regulatory affairs staff to be expert in pharmaceutical regulation, as well as medical devices regulation. Sales & MarketingThe main markets for most medical devices are with healthcare providers. The key players in achieving these steps are:
Exciting careers opportunities exist in specific engineering disciplines vital to the sector including:
Other key skills areas include regulatory, quality, sales, marketing and healthcare economics. The availability of skilled graduates for the sector is vital if growth potential is to be acheived

Rated 5 out of 5 by jever6754 Much Better than Expected
I was looking for a cheap reel to replace my Pflueger that I want to retire. And I can say I couldn't be more pleased. I tell ya, for the money, it's the best I have found. I have definitely been thrifty when it comes to most of my fishing gear but this truly doesn't fit the mold of thrifty. Low cost but definitely quality. I use it for trout, pan fish, bass, and even have used it for Muskie and Pike. It's light weight but sturdy and performs excellently. I haven't noticed any wear related to rust and it performs well with the minimum maintenance expected on any reel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by krak what a steal
this reel is WAY better than i thought it would be. I like it more than my sage which was twice the money. the drag is ten times better than i expected. you have quite a bit of adjustment if you get a fish on the reel. i have the 5/6 weight. this thing is very well built. i like that it is quiet when you are reeling in but still clicks when drag is being taken out. i like that everything is sealed but am somewhat skeptical of how well it is sealed. time will tell and for 50 bucks im not even worried about it. what a sweet reel.

I'm No Homophobe ...
I Was Just Defending My Mom
A rep for Bristol tells TMZ, she "was approached in a confrontational and inappropriate manner when two men aggressively shouted expletives aimed at her in reference to her mother. Bristol responded to the unprovoked verbal assault by calmly standing her ground and defending her family."
As we previously reported, Stephen Hanks yelled, "Your mother's a whore" -- prompting a face-to-face argument during which Bristol shouted at Hanks, "I just know you are" a homosexual.
The rep believes there was nothing bigoted about Bristol's words -- saying, "The situation ended with no incident, and accusing her of homophobia is completely unfounded and totally misstates her views."

Welcome to the official online gallery presenting the works of painter, novelist, and essayist Michael D. O'Brien
Dear Guests,
In all my work I seek to contribute to the restoration of Christian culture. I try to express the holiness of existence and the dignity of the human person situated in an incarnational universe. Each visual image and each work of prose is an incarnation of a word, a statement of faith. At the same time, it asks the questions: What is most noble and eternal in man? Who is he? Why does he exist? And what is his eternal destiny?
Michael D. O'Brien, P.O. Box 294, Combermere, Ontario, K0J 1L0, Canada.
I regret that I am unable to read manuscripts of books, short stories, poetry, or essays, and thank you for your understanding in this regard. Due to a great amount of creative work ahead of me, I am able to send out my (somewhat irregular) newsletter only from time to time, advising you about new publications and paintings or offering random ponderings on faith and culture. If you wish to receive these mailings, simply sign up via the e-mail subscribe box on the left side of this home page.
God bless you always, in our Saviour Jesus.
Michael D. O'Brien

Miss Martin said we were going to do spelling next, which pleased me – I liked spelling. But when she started writing words on the blackboard, my heart sank. Why was she writing so fast? And what were those hieroglyphics?
It was the first day of second grade at Fifth Avenue School in Narragansett. I didn't like that I was the new kid in class. I didn't like taking a bus to school. And now, sitting in a roomful of strangers, I didn't like that Miss Martin was putting words on the board in cursive writing.
I didn't know how to write in cursive. At Nelson Street School in Providence, where I had attended first grade, we only used block letters.
I said nothing as heads lowered around me and everyone got to work. Eyeing the first word's slanted lettering on the blackboard, I mirrored it on my paper as best I could. Hmm… Not bad. On to the next word… And the next… And when I got to the last one, I felt pretty good – a near perfect match from the board. Then Miss Martin reminded us to put our name at the top of our paper. Gulp.
I could hear the comments at lunchtime already: "Hey, there's that new kid – you know, the one who can't write his name." Cue the laugh track from the Charlie Brown specials: "HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
I squirmed in my seat, moved my number-two pencil to the top line, and scratched out J-O-H-N in stop-and-go block letters. When the papers were passed forward, I quickly slid mine to the bottom of the pile and handed it to the girl in front of me. That night in bed, I worried about what Miss Martin would think.
The bus ride to school was better the second day. A kid named Jeff said hi to me, all freckles and crooked teeth. School was better, too. The art teacher was fun, and we went outside for recess.
And then we got our spelling papers back. Mine was branded "Good!" and sported a silver star. Below my blocky J-O-H-N, Miss Martin had written my name in beautiful, flowing cursive. That was the extent of her instruction – no summons to her desk, no classroom call-out. I appreciated her discretion. I sensed it was filled with understanding. At home, I traced Miss Martin's example over and over again. By bedtime, I had mastered my cursive "John".
Through my years in school, I encountered teachers who were brilliant, inspiring, lazy, crazy, strict, boring, funny, and more. When people ask who my favorites were, I always include Miss Martin. Because looking back on that second day of second grade, I realize she taught me something much bigger than how to write my name in cursive. Miss Martin showed me that how you teach is often as important as what you teach.
Thank you, Phyllis Martin, wherever you are.

It's so true, John, that even one small gesture of kindness and understanding by a teacher can remain with us, decades later. I'm sure we all have memories of one special teacher - thanks for sharing yours!

Learning cursive writing used to be a wonderful turning point. It was what "grown-ups" used.

Agreed. I remember faking cursive writing (scribbling, really) before I learned how in Miss Martin's class.

To my long lost, second grade buddy,
In the middle of the school year in 1968, I transferred from another school into that same 2nd grade class, taught my Miss Martin in the Fifth Avenue Elementary school in Narragansett. Phyllis Martin sat me in my new desk right behind a cool wirey kid named John Walsh. Because he was the "new kid" at the start of the year, he was both friendly to me, and eager to pass off the new guy moniker to me.
Thank you, John, for taking my mind back to that desk for the moment. I hope you are well.
John (Jack) Serpa

Wow, Jack, it is GREAT to hear from you. I remember your first day well, when you took that seat behind me. I also remember the two of us sitting in a reading group toward the end of the year – it was warm and Miss Martin had thrown the windows open. Well, a little kid outside kept screeching while our classmates tried to read aloud, and you and I just couldn't stop laughing – you know, tears-in-your-eyes, irrepressible laughing. Miss Martin exiled us from the group... Ours was a fine second-grade friendship, and it was great to reunite years later at La Salle via Mike Rogers. I am well and hope the same is true with you. Thanks for reading and connecting – made my day!

Sadly, Some schools in our nation are starting to phase out cursive writing.
That will mean the kids today will not only not be able to conduct a conversation with another human in the same room with them, but they will also not be capable of good penmanship.
That aside, this was a lovely little story that brought two old pals back together.

As a second grade teacher for many years, teaching cursive writing was one of my favorite things. It was a true rite of passage for my students and it provided an opportunity for us to explore letters, words, and language. I presented each child a special folder at the end of second grade with their 1st day of 2nd grade block printing and their last day of 2nd grade flowing cursive. It is a lost art and a soon-to-be-lost basic communication skill. Thanks for a moving perspective on teaching and learning.

That was a great story. The youngsters today aren't "taking penmanship" to the degree that we did and I think it's a shame. I recall a youngsters in one of my second grade classes at Callender School in Newport asking me, "When are we going to start cursed writing?" Believe me, some days it did look cursed (two syllables, no less), but when they saw their progress, it was rewarding. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Kermit Buggs' resume is filled with defensive accomplishments, but he got his start on offense.
The former Penn State secondary coach and defensive coordinator at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania was named UConn running backs/special teams coach Wednesday. He replaces Clayton White, who returned to his alma mater, North Carolina State.
"Actually when I was a [graduate assistant] at Penn State I coached running backs for Galen Hall and [before that] I was a quarterback at Norfolk State University and I've coached offense pretty much all my life so to switch to defense was new for me."
Buggs became an assistant at Penn State in December 2007 and coached safeties in the 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl win over Texas A&M. He served as coordinator of player personnel and development during the 2006 and '07 seasons and from 2003-05 was a graduate assistant coach with the Nittany Lions.
He also was a successful high school coach, leading Surry County High in Virginia to a 34-14 record from 1999 to 2002. In 1999 he went 14-0, won the Division I state championship and was named Virginia Division I coach of the year.
"That was another opportunity to get back to offense but also to work with special teams so offense really is what I do," he said. "I played quarterback. When I was a head coach at Surry County I called my own offense. Offense is home for me."
Buggs will have a challenge returning to offense to its once-lofty status at UConn. The Huskies have been ranked among the worst rushing teams in the country the past two seasons.
He hasn't had a chance to talk to each of the running backs but he has spoken with leading rusher Lyle McCombs (243 carries, 860 yards, six touchdowns), who will be a junior in the fall. He also knows a player he recruited at Penn State — Berlin sophomore tailback Max DeLorenzo (36 carries, 119 yards).
"They have to be the most versatile athletes on the field. They've got to be able to block, they've got to be able to catch, they've got to be able to run so that's what we're going to work to, going to strive to," Buggs said. "I haven't got into the styles of each kid yet but hopefully they'll be productive. We're going to make sure they're able to make their first tackler miss. We also want to be able to make sure they can protect the football, catch the football and protect the passer. Basically my style is to make sure we have to most well-rounded backs in the country."
Buggs said he hasn't spoke to new offensive coordinator T.J. Weist about specifics but he does prefer the use of two running backs. There hasn't been an effective Husky tailback tandem since Jordan Todman and Andre Dixon in 2009.
"I think [with two backs] you save yourself a little bit and even if we have a change-of-tempo guy, a thumper, a speed guy or two speed guys, you need to have at least two that are ready to go every game."
Buggs wasn't retained at Penn State when new coach Bill O'Brien replaced Joe Paterno. John Allen, the head coach at Lock Haven who also worked with Buggs at Penn State, brought him on as defensive coordinator. Penn State was still paying Buggs so he worked at Lock Haven as a volunteer.
"It's a great deal to have a chance to work with Coach [Paul] Pasqualoni and work with a great group of guys that have been here for a while. It's definitely a great chance to work with T.J. [Weist], who I've heard a lot about."
Buggs has a master's degree in educational administration from Penn State.

PLANTING: Buddleia, as long they receive full sun, will adapt easily to almost any good garden soil, but prepare soil thoroughly before. Plant at least 6 to 8 feet apart. MAINTENANCE: Water during long, hot, dry spells to prolong the growing season. In the northern areas, buddleias tend to die back to or near to the ground over the winter. Even in areas where they do not die back, they should be cut back hard in the fall in northern zones to prevent snow damage and in early spring to encourage vigorous new growth in southern zones. They break dormancy late in the spring, but with the onset of warm weather will grow rapidly and without attention. Do not overfeed. Zones 5-9
A classic buddleia. This variety has long been treasured for its showy panicles of very dark violet to dark purple flowers which appear over a long period from late summer into fall.

Eye-catching royal purple-red flower panicles are deliciously fragrant and average 6-12 inches long. This award-winning variety is noted for being full of vigor and very floriferous. It has a compact, upright habit.
