FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 10, 2009
CHICAGO – October 10, 2009. Governor Pat Quinn and Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez today raised awareness of a new law that requires the history of the United States taught in public schools reinforce the role and contributions of Hispanics.
"I salute Representative Hernandez for her work championing this important legislation," Governor Quinn said. "The new law ensures that U.S. History is taught accurately to our students and emphasizes the important contributions of Hispanics throughout our nation's history."
Senate Bill 1557, sponsored by Senator William Delgado (D-Chicago) and Representative Elizabeth Hernandez (D-Cicero), was passed overwhelmingly with bipartisan support.
The bill amends Section 27-21 of the School Code by providing that curriculum on the history of the United States is to reinforce the study of the role and contributions of Hispanics, including on issues such as the events related to the forceful removal and illegal deportation of Mexican-American U.S. citizens during the Great Depression.
"It was alarming to learn how Hispanics Americans were treated during the Great Depression, and that it has gone unreported for so many years," Rep. Hernandez said. "It's critical that this period in history be taught in our schools so that we can learn from the mistakes of the past."
Section 27-21 of the School Code currently requires U.S. History to be taught in all public schools, and further outlines that curriculum must include the role and contributions of various peoples and ethnic groups.
The bill is effective as of January 1, 2010.

Abortion topic solved?
- Login to post comments
Okay, this is getting old now. How's this?
You do not believe in abortion. I do. We're not going to agree.
Chances are we both know the differences between right and wrong, and our conflicting views on abortion have nothing to do with it. Done.
...then all i have to do is believe that some people are not human - like liberals for example - and if I just "believe in it" then i can just "abort" 3000 liberals a day and then I'm exempt from murder laws?
you know - because "I just don't agree" with some people that liberals are human...
Yeah, I get it February 5, 2009 - 19:56 ET by guttermouthI get that you have 5 kids and you love the little things and they're the sunshine in your life and you can't imagine losing even one of them and oh, why doesn't everyone think the way you do and if we all did we'd just be one big happy family living on this earth...
Until the law defines abortion as murder, it ain't murder. Of course, what's the constitution anyway, right?
"define abortion as murder" ???
abortion is just a MURDER PROCEDURE isn't it? like bashing someone to death with a baseball bat is just a murder procedure - or is bashing someone to death with a baseball bat "DEFINED AS MURDER" somewhere in the law books that i don't know about...????
So does this solve the abortion conundrum people? or am i missing something? any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks much!
your pal,

each time, it will be that same person who you fought the first time. Worked for me first time, not sure how it would work again.

The winning foursome shot a 21-under to take the title in the fifth annual Jimmy Taylor Sr., Memorial golf tournament at the Lancaster Golf Club on Saturday.
The winning team, which carded a 51 over 18 holes, included Jerell Fields, Michael Fields, Robert Bethea and Joshua Sherrill.
The Charlotte team's win, which garnered a $1,000 prize, was aided by Jerell Fields' close-ups on No. 13 and 15. The tournament drew 29 teams.
Longtime Lancaster baseball fan Jack "Monk" Lucas tells this story better than I could, but I'll give it a go in honor of Father's Day.
It was the mid-1960s during the Dixie Youth Baseball season at Wylie Park.
"Monk's" son Mike and I were teammates.
"Monk," who often frequents the dugout area at baseball games, said during a game one day, my father, the late Jim Howey, asked the coaches to put me in.
The Lancaster Motor Speedway racing was like the weather Saturday night – hot.
The temperature topped 95 most of the day in Lancaster and still people packed into the track ready for race night.
With pit road crowded and drivers eager to get hot laps rolling, the drivers' meeting prepared everyone.
The music was playing, the drinks were cold, and the talk was racing. Now, close your eyes and imagine you are at Lancaster Speedway this past Saturday night and listen to the excitement.
The Lancaster Dixie Baseball AA all-stars, American and National teams, open play in their best of three district tournament tonight with a game at 7 at the Wylie Park Complex's field five.
Game two is Saturday at 6 p.m., with a game three, if needed, set to follow 30 minutes later.
Admission tonight is $4.00 for adults and $3.00 for youth, 12-under. On Saturday, the admission is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for students. The AA stars are 8-under.
The Bowlopolis Kids Club, Lancaster Bowling Center's summer youth program, is continuing.
"So far, we've had 12 bowlers," said Rose Clawson of the LBC. "We were hoping for more kids to participate, but we've been encouraged because all 12 of the kids who are participating are new to bowling.
"We just hope they will continue with the Bowling Center's youth program in the fall," she said.
A coach with a name familiar to Lancaster area athletics is the new leader for the Lancaster High School volleyball program.
Betsi O'Shields, the daughter of former Great Falls High School head football coach and athletic director Mike O'Shields, has been hired to guide the Lancaster High School volleyball program.
O'Shields, 26, comes to the Lady Bruins' program from Wren High School in the Greenville area.
Lancaster Post 31 earned a measure of diamond revenge in a hurry Friday night.
A day after dropping a 17-8 road loss to Fort Mill, Post 31 rebounded for a 9-6 win over Post 34 at Eggleton Field.
Matters didn't look promising in the early going for host Post 31. Fort Mill, coming off its win over Lancaster at Fort Mill High School on Thursday, bolted to a 4-0 lead, but Lancaster steadily battled back.
Lancaster answered Fort Mill's four-run rally in the first inning with two runs in the bottom of the frame.
The team of Joey Munn, Wayne Roberts, Sherrill Munn and Don Moore earned the $600 first-place prize in the Hyde Park Baptist Church second annual golf tournament at the Kershaw Golf Club.
The tournament was sponsored by the church's sports ministry.
Proceeds from the tournament will sponsor mission opportunities for all ages at Hyde Park Baptist.
"We had great participation and appreciate all who played and we hope to see everyone next year," according to a church press release on the event.
The Lancaster Post 31 Legion baseball team returned to play in impressive fashion, taking a 10-1 road win over Rock Hill at Winthrop Park on Wednesday night.
Lancaster, led by assistant coach Phillip Greenleaf who was leading the team in coach Brett Blackmon's absence, bolted to a 5-0 lead behind Josh Warfield and cruised to the nine-run win.
The Lancaster chapter of the S.C. Junior Golf Association opened its 2009 season Monday when the LJGA played at the White Plains Country Club in Pageland.
Chapter director Raymon Chisom was pleased with the opener.
"We had a good number of kids playing and they produced some good scores," Chisom said. "It was a good start for us.
In the boys and girls 6-7 age group, Caleb Henson shot a 21 over five holes to take the win. He was followed by Matt Nixon's 31. Colby Faulkenberry and Trey Crenshaw tied for third with a 32 apiece.

Triumph's bright vision
Dave Rosen shows off his customized Triumph Thruxton at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in New York last month. Bud Wilkinson / Republican-American |
When the January/February 2014 issue of Motorcycle Classics magazine arrived recently, I immediately noticed the full-page Triumph advertisement on the back cover. It shows a customized Thruxton model being ridden on the Bonneville Salt Flats by pro motorcycle racer Jason DiSalvo, its wheels spinning so quickly as to make the spokes invisible. The ad also appears on the back cover of the January issue of Cycle World magazine that I picked up about the same time.
Those attending the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in New York in December got to see the bright red bike in person as Triumph had it prominently displayed on the show floor, but that event wasn't the first time I had seen it. It was nearly two years ago on a visit to Dave Rosen's house in Hebron that I spied the one-off Thruxton tucked in the garage under his house.
At that time, Rosen was a regional rep for Triumph, lining up new dealers and keeping existing ones satisfied. He'd often get new models to ride and loan, and I was the beneficiary that day of a company-owned 2012 Triumph Tiger Explorer. However, the 2010 Thruxton was Rosen's personal bike. He had purchased it in March of 2010, three months after joining Triumph, to be his daily rider. "That was the first Triumph I'Ve ever purchased and the first brand new bike I'Ve ever purchased,"he said.
Before joining Triumph, Rosen was general manager of Gengras'now-defunct BMW-Ducati-Triumph dealership in East Hartford and had ridden the model on occasion. It warn't lightning fast but it was fun. "That was one bike that every time I got off it, I had a smile. I always smiled larger after the riding that bike than anything else,"he said.
So, upon joining Triumph, buying a Thruxton made sense. "I rode it only once,"he said, recalling that after putting only 149 miles on the odometer, he parked it in the garage and began modifications. His friends told him he was crazy, but they "didn't't have faith in what I was envisioning,"said Rosen.
The goal was build a bike that recreated the "cafe era, with modern technology. I wanted to create a bike that replicated the '60s and '70s. I just wanted to replicate an old-school design,"he said. Rosen didn't't touch the rear cowl over the seat, but added an after-market exhaust system, new clip-on handlebars, custom rear-set foot pegs, two-tone Triumph seat and an upgraded suspension.
He worked late-night and weekends, hand-fashioning brackets as well as sanding and shaping the fiberglass Dunstall fairing and windscreen. The bodywork covers the engine and directs the air above the rider when hunched over the gas tank. "Everything on here is hand-cut. I welded everything,"said Rosen. The job took 18 months.
He was just finishing the long-term task when I went to his house that day in May 2012. Three months later, the Thruxton was gone — appropriated by Triumph. Rosen's superiors had discovered his marvelous creation. "The first thing they asked in the beginning was, "Do you mind if we use it for some photo shoots?'I did not have it for long,"Rosen said, noting the odometer had only hit the 748-mile mark when the manufacturer borrowed it.
So far, his Thruxton has appeared on the back covers of at least three national magazines, "Iron & Air"being the third. "I'm blown away when it happens. Nobody tells me that they're doing it,"said Rosen. It has appeared in promotional videos for Triumph, too. "I have no idea where it's going to pop up,"he added. The bike has also been displayed in every city that the Progressive International Motorcycle Show tour has visited.
Rosen said he has "no clue"what it cost to customize the Thruxton and he isn't upset that it's been gone from his garage for so long. "I'm kind of blessed that I work for a company that gives me bikes to ride,"he said. Triumph has allowed him visitation rights that have enabled him to ride it on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah and on the track at the Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.
Since surrendering the Thruxton, Rosen has received a promotion. He's now Triumph's sales manager for the eastern half of the U.S. Despite the fact that a new 2014 Triumph Thunderbird Commander cruiser was just delivered to his house this week for him to use (and loan, yes!), he is hoping to eventually get his Thruxton back. "They took the bike away from me more than a year and a half ago. I'm assuming I'll get it back around May or June,"he said.
Triumph is now working with a designer to make replica kits based on Rosen's craftsmanship that customers can purchase. He anticipates that they will be available by early spring. Sure hope he gets a cut of the action.
It hasn't even officially opened yet, but Indian of Westfield, not far from Connecticut's north border in Westfield, Mass., has a new name. The dealership's now calling itself Indian of Springfield, a name that makes sense as the original Indian called Springfield its home from 1901 until 1953 when it went out of business. The revived company is owned by Polaris. Indian of Springfield is also taking on a second motorcycle line – EBR, the new sportbike brand being mounted by former Buell founder Erik Buell. Connecticut doesn't't have an Indian or EBR dealer.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel endorses Scott Walker
Newspaper endorsements are usually not worth a dime (much less the 50 dimes you have to pay for them), especially in prominent races where people know more about the candidates than the pompous editorial writers doing the endorsing. (I know, I was a such a writer for a decade at The Detroit News.) But the fact that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, no fan of Scott Walker's, endorsed him this morning might have some symbolic value. It might not win him any voters given that there are very few undecideds in this election, but despite its mealiness, it might give him some aid and comfort if and when he completes his term. Via the Wall Street Journal, here is what it said:
No governor in recent memory has been so controversial. No governor in America is so polarizing. Everyone has an opinion about Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin.
Here's ours: We see no reason to remove Walker from office. We recommend him in the June 5 recall election.
Walker's rematch with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was prompted by one issue: Walker's tough stance with the state's public-employee unions. It's inconceivable that the recall election would be occurring absent that. And a disagreement over a single policy is simply not enough to justify a vote against the governor. . . .
Walker brought some of this animosity on himself. He chose an in-your-face style from the start. To his credit, the governor now acknowledges that he did a poor job of building support for his policies. "The one thing if I could go back in time is I would try to spend a little bit more time building the case," he told the Editorial Board earlier this year. . . .
To his credit, Walker has helped to right the state's finances with a minimum of gimmicks—the governor reported recently that the state may be able to book a $154 million surplus next year. This good news has been lost in the clutter surrounding an unnecessary recall election that will cost as much as $18 million just to stage, according to the Government Accountability Board. . . .
And while we think Act 10—the law that clipped the wings of most public-employee unions in the state—was an overreach of political power, we understand and supported the need to rein in the state's labor costs. Municipalities and school districts as well as the state needed more control over their budgets, which Act 10 provided. . . .
It's time to end the bickering and get back to the business of the state. We've had our differences with the governor, but he deserves a chance to complete his term.
What's more, it says that the state's lacklustre job perrformance is not Walker's fault.
Go here for the full endorsement.

I have used wiggle for the last couple of years with no issues at all. I would estimate I've placed around a dozen orders and spent a couple of thousand pounds with them which included a new bike for £900. Items always recieved promptly. I would recommend.
How bad can service get? Well not much worse than when they take your money and don't deliver the goods, don't answer your emails or refund your payment. It's now 5 weeks since I placed an order and I'm going through PayPal to get resolution. Would I recommend? ermm... a simple NO.

I have now used DV247 many times over the last couple of years and not had one single issue with them. The goods always arrive very quickly.

text: iPhone 4S price announced and UK networks unveil their contracts Technology 07 October 11 by Mark Brown Tweet Apple has announced the price of its SIM-free iPhone 4S, while major UK mobile networks like Orange and Vodafone have revealed their price plans. Here's how to find the best deal and the cheapest phone, once the 4S launches on 14 October.If you're a pay-as-a-go fan and are happy SIM free, Apple has opened the floodgates for iPhone 4S pre-orders on its official store. You can grab a black or white iPhone for £499 for a 16GB version, £599 for the 32GB edition and a whopping £699 for the new 64GB capacity.T-Mobile: T-Mobile is only offering 24 month plans for iPhone 4S owners. So you'll be tangled in a binding contract when the iPhone 5 inevitably debuts next year, which means you'll either have to skip a generation, cough up to break your contact or make a deal with T-Mobile in 2012If that's cool with you, you can get the 16GB version for free if you're willing to shell out at least £45 a month. Similarly, you'll need to be spending at least £61 a month to get a 32GB edition for nothing. The 64GB version has a cost on all contracts.All three phones come on six different price bands from £25 a month to £61 a month, offering anywhere between 100 and unlimited texts/minutes, and 500MB to 1GB of monthly 3G internet. Here's the full spread of T-Mobile iPhone 4S price plans.Orange: Unlike its Everything Everywhere brother T-Mobile, Orange has contracts that run out in 18 months, as well as 24 month ones.If you don't mind being locked in for two years, Orange can get you a free 4S on a number of plans. Pay more than £46 a month and you can have the 16GB version for nothing. Pay £61 a month for your mobile and you can have the beefy 32GB version free. The 64GB edition will cost at least £99, on any price plan.Depending on how much you're willing to shell out each month, from just £20 to £61, you can expect mobile internet limits to run the gamut from 100MB to 2GB and grab 50 minutes and 50 texts to unlimited calling time and messages.If you only want an 18 month-long plan you can get the 16GB edition for free on the £61 a month contract. Otherwise, the phone will cost as much as £310 on the lowest monthly fee. The 32GB device costs between £140 and £450 depending on payment plan and the 64GB iPhone 4S will require an upfront fee of £190 to £520.You'll see about 200 minutes on the budget plans, to 3000 on the most high-end. 250 texts go up to 500 if you're willing to pay more and 3G internet runs the gamut from 500MB to 2GB. See the full spread of prices.Vodafone: Unike T-Mobile, Vodafone is offering 12-month plans so you can free yourself from the taut contract by the time Tim Cook launches the iPhone 5 late next year. The carrier also has 18 and 24 months on offer.If you stump for 12 months, you won't be able to the 4S for free. The 16GB device will cost anywhere between £319, if you pay £36 a month, and £139, if you fork over £51 every month. The 32GB version is between £399 and £129, while the 64GB monster will be £479 to £299.If you desperately want a free iPhone 4S, you can get the 16GB version for nothing by taking out a £51-or-more 18-month plan, or a £46-or-more 24-month plan. The 32GB edition is free on the most expensive 12- and 18-month contracts, and the 64GB requires at least £30 in an up-front payment.These plans offer anywhere from 100 to 3,000 minutes, 500 to unlimited texts and 250MB to 1GB of 3G data. To see all the prices on offer, check out Vodafone's iPhone 4S page.Vodafone is also the first network to confirm that it will offer cashback if you buy through Quidco, which is a nice way to save a little cash. Jump on a qualifying contract and you could get yourself £40 cashback and another £59 credit from the network.Three: Mobile network Three is also carrying the iPhone 4S, and is also sticking to strict 24-month contracts.On all three devices, there are five price plans, ranging from £30 to £43 a month. These contracts can offer anywhere between 300 and 2,000 monthly minutes, they all give you a set 5,000 texts and as for 3G data, that goes from 500MB to "All-you-can-eat" unlimited data.As for the upfront cost of the 4S itself, the 16GB is free on the most expensive tariff, but costs up to £129 if you only pay £30 a month. The 32GB version runs the gamut from £50 to £219, and the 64GB behemoth goes from £180 up to £309. See the full list of prices at Three's page, here.Three is also offering a little cashback if you buy through Quidco. "Put simply: £109 cashback and a free 4S handset for £35 a month," a spokesperson for the firm told Wired.co.uk. "And with that you get 500 any network minutes, 5000 texts and 500MB internet." More on that, here. At the time of writing, O2 has announced that it will be carrying the iPhone 4S from 14 October, but has not revealed its price plans yet. When it's ready to debut its deals, you can find them here. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments I WANT A WHITE IPHONE 4S!!!!!! SOOOOOOO BADLY BUT I CANT PAY LIKE 500 QUID FOR IT!

Allergy Basics
What Is an Allergy?
Allergies are an abnormal response of the immune system. People who have allergies have an immune system that reacts to a usually harmless substance in the environment. This substance (pollen, mold, and animal dander, for example) is called an allergen.
Allergies are a very common problem, affecting at least two out of every 10 Americans.
What Happens During an Allergic Reaction?
First, a person is exposed to an allergen by inhaling it, swallowing it, or getting it on or under their skin. After a person is exposed to the allergen, a series of events create the allergic reaction:
- The body starts to produce a specific type of antibody, called IgE, to bind the allergen.
- The antibodies attach to a form of blood cell called a mast cell. Mast cells can be found in the airways, in the intestines, and elsewhere. The presence of mast cells in the airways and GI tract makes these areas more susceptible to allergen exposure.
- The allergens bind to the IgE, which is attached to the mast cell. This causes the mast cells to release a variety of chemicals into the blood. Histamine, the main chemical, causes most of the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
Asthma Symptoms
Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes with increased production of sticky secretions inside the tubes. People with asthma experience symptoms when the airways tighten, inflame, or fill with mucus. Common asthma symptoms include:
- Coughing, especially at night
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Chest tightness, pain, or pressure
Still, not every person with asthma has the same symptoms in the same way. You may not have all of these symptoms, or you may have different symptoms at different times. Your asthma symptoms may also vary from one asthma attack to the next, being mild during one and severe during another.
Some people with asthma may go for extended periods without having any symptoms, interrupted by periodic worsening of their symptoms called asthma attacks. Others might have asthma symptoms every day. In addition, some people may only have asthma during exercise or asthma with viral infections like colds.
Mild asthma attacks are generally more common. Usually, the airways open up within a few minutes to a few hours. Severe attacks are less common but last longer and require immediate medical help. It is important to recognize and treat even mild asthma symptoms to help you prevent severe episodes and keep asthma under better control.
Know the Early Symptoms of Asthma
Early warning signs are changes that happen just before or at the very beginning of an asthma attack. These signs may start before the well-known symptoms of asthma and are the earliest signs that your asthma is worsening.
In general, these signs are not severe enough to stop you from going about your daily activities. But by recognizing these signs, you can stop an asthma attack or prevent one from getting worse. Early warning signs of asthma include:
- Frequent cough, especially at night
- Losing your breath easily or shortness of breath
- Feeling very tired or weak when exercising
- Wheezing or coughing after exercise
- Feeling tired, easily upset, grouchy, or moody
- Decreases or changes in lung function as measured on a peak flow meter
- Signs of a cold or allergies (sneezing, runny nose, cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, and headache)
- Trouble sleeping
If you have early warning signs or symptoms of asthma, you should take more asthma medication as described in your asthma action plan.

Entries in Chad Ochocinco (6)
Who Is Better: Julio Jones or A.J. Green
Every year the question about who is the best comes up right before the NFL draft. When it comes to the wide receiver position there are only two names that come to the top. Before the combine workouts, everyone had AJ Green as the clear cut number one. One of the reasons is that Green comes from a passing offense that featured his skills and his skills alone. Julio Jones stepped his game up at the combine, basically outperforming Green in ever category. The only knock on Jones was supposed to be speed. Ironically he outran Green in the combine too.
When you watch these guys run routes, they are very similar. Jones is a more polished receiver in tight areas, where Green does appear to get better separation on the field. Jones is by far the better blocker as he had to be to allow guys like Mark Ingram to be dominant enough to win the Heisman.
The question remains, which will be the better pro. Make no mistake about it, both are worthy of being the first receiver taken. If you take a look at the board, the only team that may be looking for wide receiver help is early is the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals played with veteran wide receivers Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens this year as young guys like Quan Crosby, Andre Caldwell, and Jordan Shipley emerged as the heir apparent. Crosby is more of a special team's guy but adds speed to the Bengals. Caldwell is dependable, and Shipley was arguably the best of the bunch last season.
Sometimes Things Need To Be Said But Not By Terrell Owens
Terrell "Eldorado" Owens has been quiet for the majority of the season and I can understand why. He has been productive and he has played well on a particularly bad team. All of this silence came to an abrupt end last night.
Teammate Chad Ochocinco asked Owens during "The T.Ocho Show" on Versus cable network Tuesday night why he thinks the team is 2-11.
"I think there's underachieving from the top down," Owens said. "You start with the owner, you start with the coaches. And obviously we as players, we are a product of what the coaches are coaching us throughout the course of the week.
Of course, we have to go out there and play the game. But in order for us to do what we're allowed to do at the best of our abilities, the coaches have to put the players in the best position."
Owens has been diplomatic for most of the season, which quickly spiraled out of control. He had only one catch for 22 yards during a 23-7 defeat in Pittsburgh on Sunday that was Cincinnati's 10th straight, matching the franchise record for consecutive losses in a season.
Like It Or Not: Terrell Owens Is Still A Force In This League
Like him or not, Terrell Owens made his point. He's nowhere near finished.
The 36-year-old receiver had trouble finding a team that would take him this off-season, something he took as a snub. The Cincinnati Bengals finally signed him, and now he's their leading receiver.
One of the league's best, too.
Owens has had a couple of very explosive games this year. Earlier this year Owens had 10 catches for 222 yards against Cleveland. In that game he also moved into second place on the career list for yards receiving, trailing only former 49ers teammate Jerry Rice. He became the oldest receiver in NFL history to have a 200-yard game, and the only one this season.
Owens performance has served as an eye-opener for a lot of people out there that have said a lot of negative things about him. I have heard everything about him from the fact that he has lost a step, or he just can't play.
AFC North: The Bengals, Browns, Ravens, and Steelers Get Physical
Day 3 of breaking down the divisions has led us to the AFC North. When I say AFC North all you should think of is power football. This conference is responsible for earning Super Bowl titles with one word "physicality." If you aren't a physical team, you have no business even trying to compete in this division.
The Baltimore Ravens are the benchmark of being physical. They are led by their defense and when playing the Ravens expect to have the ball pounded down your throat. The Ravens offense is led by third year quarterback Joe Flacco. The running game for the Ravens is solid featuring a trio of backs headed by Ray Rice. The wide receiver core is a little aged but got better with the recent addition of Anquon Boldin. The offensive line pretty much returns in tact and the tight end postion is held down with the great Todd Heap.
Defensively the Ravens are immense. They have a ferocious defensive line led by newest addition Terrance Cody. The linbacking core is led by the great Ray Lewis. The secondary will be the biggest question as pro bowl safety Ed Reed will probably miss the first 5 – 6 games as former Cowboys safety Ken Hamlin steps in and takes his spot.

Five Movies Their Famous Directors Would Rather Forget
Everybody has to start somewhere. Somewhere, unfortunately, is usually in the worst place possible. When you're a young director just starting out, sometimes you've got to take the job people will pay you for which leads to such resume starters as the following movies.
5. "Dementia 13″
Francis Ford Coppola knows his way around quality. Well OK, he did anyway. Either way, he directed The Godfather, and his wine is pretty good. He's even gone back to some of his, ah, less well-received movies, like One From the Heart to try and salvage something from them. But he's usually pretty quiet about Dementia 13, and for a good reason.
Coppola got the chance to direct because he was the sound guy on a Roger Corman production, and Roger Corman had about twenty thousand dollars left over. So, telling Coppola to give him a thriller, he wrote a script in three days, talked a bunch of his friends into flying over to Ireland where Corman had stranded him with a small crew and shot a movie.
Corman, upon seeing what the young auteur could do being left entirely to his own devices immediately re-edited the movie and had one director shoot a few scenes with a poacher who gets beheaded, and a prologue that had nothing to do with the movie. It came out on the bottom half of a double bill, and probably would have disappeared except for one small problem: it entered the public domain. So long after Coppola thought he was done with Roger Corman, "Dementia 13″ just kept popping up.
Hey, at least it was better than "Jack".
4. "Caged Heat"
Another escapee, er, graduate of the Roger Corman Film Academy was Jonathan Demme, who'd go on to direct the movie that taught your grandparents about AIDS — Philadelphia. He also directed some truly amazing concert films like Stop Making Sense and also was the source of the single greatest well of bad impersonations of the 1990s, Silence of the Lambs. Although every last bad Hannibal Lecter impersonation is more than made up for by Hannibal Lecter's superb Stallone impersonation:
Anyway, Demme got his start not with cannibals, but with hot chicks in prison. Demme wrote and directed Caged Heat, which is widely considered the best "women in prison" movie ever made. Then again, when your competition featured Regan from The Exorcist getting raped by Dean Wormer, and your entire genre exists solely to get away with showing lesbians making out with each other, the bar isn't exactly set that high.
But it did well enough for two movies that had nothing to do with Demme and had awesome subtitles like "Stripped of Freedom" to be made, so that's something, anyway.
3. "Hollywood Boulevard"
Joe Dante is one of those directors who never got a break. He directed "Gremlins", which is the best Christmas movie ever made, along with awesome '80s movies like Innerspace, and the one good Looney Tunes movie, Back in Action. However, he mostly got his start as an editor, by which we mean, he edited other people's movies into his own.
Dante got his start, though, from a bet: Jon Davison bet, who else, Roger Corman that Dante could crank out a viable movie in a week. Realizing that Corman had a huge library and didn't particularly care how Dante made a movie as long as it cut together somewhat decently, decided to see just what he could get away with.
This is a dangerous challenge to issue to somebody who cut together a seven-and-a-half hour epic called The Movie Orgy entirely from other people's clips, as Corman learned the hard way. Dante assembled a truly enormous number of clips with as little shooting as possible. Good thing too, since he had only $25,000 to play with.
Dante turned out a movie that grossed a million dollars, and thus, we were on the way to Gremlins. Also, The Burbs, but let's not talk about that.

Groundhogs Work With Grunge Producer
The Groundhogs are currently working on a new album – and it's been produced by grunge veteran Jack Endino.
The producer, most known for working with such bands as Nirvana, Soundgarden and Mudhoney, was in the UK at the end of last year, working with the veteran blues rockers.
Endino told Classic Rock: "I sure had a nice time over there, in spite of the terrible weather!"
Endino also played bass on one song "because they asked me to."
Right now, Groundhogs mainman Tony McPhee is putting the finishing touches to the as yet untitled album, which Endino hopes to mix later in the year.

Many ways to collect Reich's Capped Bust half dollar
By William T. Gibbs
COIN WORLD Staff It's been done once, and only once, apparently. Charlton E. Meyer – "Swampy'' to his friends – in 1996 became the first person to complete a collection of Capped Bust half dollars by die variety. He completed his set after beginning the collection in the 1960s. Collectors shouldn't let Meyer's 30-year quest discourage them from tackling the Capped Bust half dollar series. On the contrary, it's a wonderful series to collect, and several methods of collecting exist from which collectors can pick and choose. The Capped Bust half dollar was first issued in 1807, and remained in production through 1839. A modified version of the basic reverse design – depicting an eagle with shield on its breast – remained in use on the Seated Liberty half dollar, through 1891. The Capped Bust series was not without change during that period: 1) The Capped Bust portrait and the eagle were both modified in 1809. 2) The denomination on the reverse appeared in three separate forms (50 C. from 1807 to 1836; 50 CENTS in 1836 and 1837; and HALF DOL. in 1838 and 1839). 3) E PLURIBUS UNUM appeared on the reverse within a ribbon from 1807 to 1836, but not on 1836 Reeded Edge coins and all 1837 to 1839 coins. 4) The edge was changed from lettered (FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR) to reeded in 1836. Capped Bust half dollars can be collected in three major ways, one for every budget. The cheapest, fastest and easiest collection: Collect a set of the basic types, totaling just three coins, for about $100 in Fine 12 condition. Such a set would comprise a Lettered Edge coin; a Reeded Edge, 50 CENTS coin; and a Reeded Edge, HALF DOL. coin. A collector could begin, and end, this collection at most coin shows. Less cheap, slower and not as easy collection: Collect a date set from 1807 through 1839, for 32 coins (33 if you want both 1836 versions). This method of collecting is more challenging than collecting by type. Collectors are advised to collect the most common variety of each date, possibly in Fine 12 condition. A few years are tough in any grade: the 1815/2 (known only in overdate form), and the 1836 Reeded Edge, 50 cents variety. Very expensive, taking a long time and not at all easy to obtain: Collect by die variety, some 450 coins by their Overton variety. Unless you buy one of several nearly complete collections extant, be prepared to spend a decade or more, and lots of money, building this collection. The series has many die varieties because of the method in which dies were produced: A master die, bearing the portrait and eagle (depending on the side involved) and a few other design elements, but no numbers or letters, were used to make a master hub. LIBERTY and E PLURIBUS UNUM were added to each master hub, from which working dies were produced. The date, stars, dentils, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and 50 C. were added to each working die by hand from 1807 to 1836, when mechanization caused greater standard. Before then, however, each working die was unique as to placement of date, some legends and other design elements, as noted.

Although it may seem unusual today, the United States government once issued a coin worth less than one cent: the half cent. The copper U.S. half cent was authorized for production on April 2, 1792. During its 64-year lifespan as a circulating denomination, five different basic design types of the tiny (0.93-inch) coin were struck. The coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and do not have a Mint mark. The half cent's designers and engravers are among the best known names in U.S. Mint design/engraving history: Adam Eckfeldt, Robert Scot, John Gardner, Gilbert Stuart, John Reich and Christian Gobrecht. Designs for the half cent were also used on other denominations through the years. The 1793 Liberty Cap half cent features a lettered edge stating TWO HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR. The obverse depicts a bust of Liberty with flowing hair, facing left. A Liberty Cap on a pole rests on her right shoulder giving the design its name, the Liberty Cap. The design for the Liberty Cap half cent was based on Agustin Dupre's Libertas Americana medal. Half cents struck between 1794 and 1797 bear another Liberty Cap design, this one facing right, and issued in Plain Edge, Lettered Edge and Gripped Edge varieties. From 1800 to 1808 the Draped Bust design was used on half cents. All half cents bearing those dates are Plain Edge varieties. The Classic Head design was used on half cents struck between 1809-1836. From 1849 to 1857, a Coronet design with Plain Edge was used. All half cents have a wreath on the reverse. The key dates in the series are 1793; 1796, No Pole; 1802/0, Reverse of 1800; and 1831.
