Person Details
May 3, 1975 in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
After nearly a decade working her way up the ranks from guest actress to regular player, Christina Hendricks finally made her mark as Joan Holloway, the curvaceous, titian-haired secretary with many tricks up her sleeve, on AMC's Emmy-winning period series, "Mad Men" (2007- ). Channeling screen sirens from the 1950s, Hendricks earned praise for her performance while becoming a role model for full-figured women, thanks to her oft-discussed hourglass figure that harkened back to the days of Marilyn Monroe and Ava Gardner. Prior to her breakthrough on "Mad Men," she cut her teeth in episodes of "Undressed" (MTV, 1999-2002) and "Angel" (The WB, 1999-2004), before landing her first significant part as a career-climbing intern on the showbiz satire "Beggars and Choosers" (Showtime, 1999-2001). From there, Hendricks appeared on Joss Whedon's short-lived cult hit "Firefly" (Fox, 2002-03) and the equally brief drama "Kevin Hill" (UPN, 2004-05), while guest starring on more stable shows like "Without a Trace" (CBS, 2002-09) and "Cold Case" (CBS, 2003-2010). But everything turned on a dime after Hendricks was cast on "Mad Men," leading to widespread acclaim and awards nominations, as well as career-expanding feature roles in "Drive" (2011) and "I Don't Know How She Does It" (2011). Whether playing a demure waif or a smoldering vixen, the always striking Hendricks defined a new style of old-school glamour while bringing her finely honed skills to every role.

Good Laugh to share
Zekta Chan
In this early Monday Morning, if you did already heard Seth's new podcast yet (unlike me, having a busy weekend), may be I can entertain you with laughter I enjoyed last week…
I am not sure if many of you follow isheepthings.com,
but I had come to this gem on isheepthings.com by Aurdon last week.
A hate whisper conversation from one of our fellow trader.
I can't stop laughing when I was on my way to work. All passengers in my subway cart stares at me funnily.
Trolls are entertaining when someone had the sense of humor to play with them…
Good take, Aurdon

They're growing up overnight, so much so that you might forget how young they really are. Soon, they'll be going off to school – they may be giving it a whirl at a pre-school already. They're asking questions and wondering about things that may surprise you. They're really beginning to think for themselves. But there are still a lot of things you need to teach them and a lot of childhood illnesses to wade through.

School discipline plan still too costly for city taxpayers
The Feb. 3 article "Cost of discipline declines" discusses a new plan from Waterbury's School Department to hire staff to handle disciplinary issues.
This plan, a watered-down version of one Mayor Neil M. O'Leary rejected in December, would cost taxpayers about $480,000 a year.

"Not only did we lose a Texas A&M legend today, we lost a man who was a legend at every level of football -- from six-man football at Christoval, as a Junction Boy at Texas A&M, to the Over-The-Hill Gang with the Washington Redskins. Jack Pardee was a great Aggie and his legacy will live on forever." --- Texas A&M Director of Athletics Eric Hyman

Android Mini HDMI stick?? Going to take out WDTV,roku,logitech revue??
i had a Roku 2 XS hdmi "Great picture, i also own a playstation 3 all on a 46 inch 120hz LED about 2 years old. and a logitech revue in the past ... x wife took the roku and they never seem to update the android software on the logitech its stil on like version 3 something... what brand and model of these new mini hdmi android sticks is best... i know this is newer technology but id prefer one that is going to lasy and receive regular updates.. i have the ability to plug a cat6 1gb Ethernet cable into it with superfast internet thanks in advance for best advice on this one since its a newer category of devices!!! i see this one on here for like 39 on amazon.. do they have a remote? are these sticks worth it or for picture quality wise am i better off with a wdtv or roke or xbox 360? im trying to Stream Video files from my laptop to the device which i know roku didnt support many formats when i had it which was a big downfall... |
look for something that XBMC can run on.. and go with that - it's by far the best I have found at playing streamed videos, and perhaps couple it with something like PS3 media server on your laptop (depending on the quality of what you want to stream and how powerful your laptop is, it may make sense to have the laptop do the heavy work)
i have the RK3066 running 4.1 with i pazzport voice remote for google now. its a nice toy but it wont replace my ps3 running plex streaming playon.tv ,xbmc, or anything i want from my pc. Xbox is even better, But if you just want a big android tablet then wait for the technology to get better because android mini pc are not made to run for long periods of time and if you do it will definitely shorten the life of the device that's why you can't just walk in to best buy and buy one. but if you are looking for something to play a round with a couple hours a day then the RK3066 is nice and the Raspberry Pi running XBMC is even better.

Sunshine Tour's WGC event not a sure thing
What Sunshine Tour commissioner Gareth Tindall is trumpeting as the beginning of "a world tour" is seen in others quarters as an idea that has been talked about for several years, one that hopefully could become a fifth World Golf Championship.
But Ed Moorhouse, co-chief operating officer of the PGA Tour, said it was still a bit premature to etch into the 2012 calender what would be called the Tournament of Hope in South Africa.
Tindall told Associated Press that this would be a "significant" $10 million World Golf Championship the first week in December and made it sound as if it were signed, sealed, and delivered. If so, then one would think the announcement would have come from the International Golf Federation, which oversees the current four World Golf Championships, and that the PGA Tour – which is a huge part of the IGF - would be confirming it.
That is not the case.
"We think it's a worthwhile endeavor, we thought so in 2006 when the concept was proposed, but it never materialized," Moorhouse said.
"But it's a work in progress and they're still in the planning stages."
Moorhouse confirmed that the vision is for a golf tournament to be part of AIDS week, which is an awareness initiative held globally the first week of December. There would be other sporting events througout the world, but the proposed WGC event in South Africa would be the focal point.
First suggested in 2006, the concept was brought forth at the recent "federation meeting" at Augusta National during the Masters, Moorhouse said, adding, "We definitely want to take a hard look at it."
But it appears as if the onus will be on the Sunshine Tour to come up with a sponsor and square away the date, which Moorhouse suggests will "all take some work." There are big tournaments in Australia and Japan in November and December, and if you look at the European Tour's 2010 schedule, they are still going strong that time of year; the UBS Hong Kong Open is Dec. 1-4 and the next week is the Dubai World Championship.
"We're certainly committed (to the concept)," Moorhouse said, but he would not go so far as to say it was a done deal.
Tindall almost guaranteed that the best players would come, telling AP that the prize money was "too good to turn down."
Then again, didn't organizers think the same thing about the 2001 WGC Match Play in Australia? With the tournament held Jan. 2-7 that year, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were among a long list of marquee names who didn't play and organizers had to dip down to those ranked past 100 to fill the 64-player field.

References to Samurai Films are quite common in film literature. Many mainstream directors, from Hollywood and elsewhere, have been inspired and influenced by Samurai Films. Want to know where George Lucas got some of the major plot ideas for Star Wars: A New Hope? Check out Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. Interested in seeing the film that arguably inspired the whole Spaghetti Western genre? Have a look at Kurosawa's Yojimbo. Want to see one of the major inspirations for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films? Look no further than Toshiya Fujita's Lady Snowblood.
If you've encountered brief references like these before and want to know more about Samurai Films, then this is the book for you. The history of this unique Japanese genre, including the influence it's had on world cinema is covered, as well as analysis of the key films that have defined the genre. Classics such as Kurosawa's Seven Samurai and Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy are included, as well as more recent films, such as Aragami, The Twilight Samurai and The Hidden Blade.
Samurai Films are a wonderful combination of frenetic action sequences, moving personal drama and philosophical observations on loyalty and violence, all against the spectacular backdrop of pre-industrial Japan. If you want to immerse yourself in this popular and influential cult genre, then the Kamera Book of Samurai Films is the perfect place to start.

The 100th Bay to Breakers: Style For (7.46) Miles
I know I wasn't the only one checking my weather app to the latest hour Saturday night. But the early rise of the 100th Bay to Breakers made way for a celebratory sunshiney day. Win. While most witness the cheesy, outrageous, and risque on annual race day, I was on the prowl for some style shenanigans...
Popular trends were Black Swan beauties, '80s Jazzercise and elaborate headgear (San Franciscans sure love their wigs), but the most coveted were Navajo-inspired cuties. Elaborate headdresses, turquoise jewelry, tribal paint, ponchos, and jean shorts — gear fit for play, and Breaker battle.

IOWA RUSH OFFENSE VS. MICHIGAN STATE RUSH DEFENSE So much of what ever team does every week is set up. Last week, the Hawkeye ran to the left 22 of 39 called handoffs to the running back. Whether the calls came from offensive coordinator Greg Davis in the press box or quarterback Jake Rudock caught Minnesota tipping its hand, it doesn't matter. Iowa ran that way, mostly outside zone, because it worked. Iowa averaged 5.9 yards a carry and took the air out of the ball in the second half. Against Michigan State this week, Iowa will see a 4-3 over defense that will use its defensive tackles creatively and will probably shift them just before the snap, small but significant changes. Just like Iowa, the Spartans want to keep their linebackers — Max Bullough (6-3, 245), Taiwan Jones (6-3, 250) and Denicos Allen (5-11, 218) — clear of any offensive linemen. Given last week's left-sided Iowa offense, this probably slides a DT (Tyler Hoover or Micajah Reynolds) to an offensive tackle and thus changes the angle to the linebackers. So, Iowa favored the left last week. It probably changes this week, but what likely won't change is Iowa's personnel groups. Expect to see fullback Adam Cox. His presence will give Iowa extra muscle getting through the line of scrimmage and will serve as a counter to MSU's counters. You've heard of MSU's linebackers and most of its D-linemen, but redshirt freshman DE Shilique Calhoun (6-4, 250) is new. He leads the Spartans in QB hurries (8) and tackles for loss (4). In four games, Calhoun has scored three defensive TDs. The cumulative effect will be in full force for Iowa's offense. Last season, running back Mark Weisman had 11 carries for 22 yards at halftime. He finished with 26 carries for 121 yards, including a 5-yard TD with 55 seconds left to send the game to OT. Iowa will pile up a lot of 2-yard carries with the idea those become 8-yarders in the second half. The Spartans like cover 4, which allows their linebackers to be aggressive vs. the run and play downhill football. Advantage: Push IOWA PASS OFFENSE VS. MICHIGAN STATE PASS DEFENSE Michigan State's defensive backs are engaged and important in everything the Spartans defense does. MSU plays a quarters coverage with safeties keying on the quarterback and, probably this week, Iowa's tight ends. MSU defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi's twist on quarters is a tight man-to-man coverage corners on outside receivers. Corners Darqueze Dennard and Trae Waynes lock up and throw away the key. Dennard and Waynes will press Iowa's wide receivers to the point where they ask the officials if they're still onside. Will Iowa's receivers be able to match that and stay on route and on time? This is what Iowa did under Norm Parker, 4-3 and quarters coverage with little variance. The idea was a fast and physical defense and not one that's flat-footed and thinking. The moves the Spartans might try out of this depends how much they respect Iowa's pass offense. Narduzzi will probably want to challenge first-year starter Jake Rudock. The Spartans ran into a glitch the last time out against Notre Dame, drawing four pass intereference penalties and a holding. MSU isn't backing off its techniques. The school sent video to Big Ten officials and it was assured the problem wasn't systemic. "We're gonna play like we played," Narduzzi told the Detroit Free Press last week. "And what people have to understand is we're one of the top defenses in the country and have been, and we've got lockdown cornerbacks (Darqueze Dennard and Trae Waynes). They shouldn't be surprised when we're covering people and locking them down." The Hawkeyes will have to force MSU out of its comfort zone or hold its own at the very least. Can Iowa tight ends create with their speed against Michigan State's linebackers? That group hasn't been a force in a game yet this season. Wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley has 26 receptions and no one else on Iowa's offense has cracked double digits. Perhaps the biggest question with Iowa's passing game this week is how much can WR Damond Powell's role grow? He averages 51.5 yards a catch. MSU is going to know when he's on the field and will adjust. In a game of grip-and-grunt, would Iowa dare to get creative with Powell, or will his growth in the offense take hold after the idle week next week? Rudock has rightfully been praised for his poise, which will face its toughest test yet this week. One stat that quantifies that is third down. Rudock leads the Big Ten with a 59.2 percent completion rate (29 of 49) on third down, converting 20 of those passes for first downs. Advantage: Michigan State MICHIGAN STATE RUSH OFFENSE VS. IOWA RUSH DEFENSE First, Le'Veon Bell and his 382 carries from last season are in the NFL playing for the Steelers. (Is Bell the most Steelers' running back since Jerome Bettis?) It stands to reason the production here hasn't been where it was in 2012, with no 100-yard rushers yet this season. So, who are the new guys? Jeremy Langford (6-0, 208) sort of forged ahead in a 1a-1b situation with Nick Hill (5-8, 190) with 68 yards against Notre Dame. Langford turned heads in April 2012 with a 4.3-second 40-yard dash. He was switched to wide receiver after switching from running back to corner as a freshman because he saw a playing time opportunity. Make no mistake, he's a running back right now. "If he gets a crease, he can go the distance," Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio told reporters at the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. "He needs to be a little firmer in between the tackles. But he's getting bigger and stronger as he grows." MSU's O-line is growing into a heavyweight contender. The inside is solid with guards Blake Treadwell and Dan France and center Jack Allen. Redshirt freshman Jack Conklin (6-6, 326) has wedged his way into playing time at both tackle spots. Iowa is playing physical rush defense. The Hawkeyes beat down their first test against a rush offense that wanted to be physical (holding Minnesota to 30 yards last week). They even held up against read-option QB Jordan Lynch, holding the fringe-ish Heisman candidate to 56 yards and 2.55 yards a carry. Odd stat check: MSU is 1-2 against Iowa since 2007 when it rushes for more than 100 yards. Advantage: Iowa MICHIGAN STATE PASS OFFENSE VS. IOWA PASS DEFENSE One of the first thoughts that Kirk Ferentz and Greg Davis had after last season's 4-8 thud was the Hawkeyes needed — absolutely had to have — more explosive plays on offense. Iowa has 68 plays that have gone for 10-plus yards after producing just 138 last season. The reason for this factoid is for comparison with Michigan State. The Spartans are 109th in the nation with 47 10-plus plays. A lot of the struggle has been the identity at quarterback. Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio conducted a four-man race during camp that he says now is settled, but still looks open. Sophomore Connor Cook is the guy, but against Notre Dame two weeks ago, he was pulled in favor of senior Andrew Maxwell in the final two minutes of a game in which MSU absolutely had to have a TD. Cook seemed genuinely disappointed. Dantonio has spent a lot of this week circling the verbal wagons around a QB who has a completed 11 of 27 passes on third down (40.7 percent). MSU's receivers also have struggled. MLive.com gave this group an "F" for a quarter season grade and cited approximately an average of four dropped passes a game. Dantonio: "I think our players are very capable of being able to make those plays. Again, we're going to find out as we continue to move through this season, but we've obviously got to score more points. I don't think there is any question about that." Can that just suddenly happen one week when there hasn't been any evidence of it against FBS competition this season? Iowa's pass rush was more organic last week, with three of four sacks coming from D-linemen. By the way, that was a high for the Hawkeyes since five at Purdue in 2011. Iowa has played less quarters coverage since the opener, when the Hawkeyes were burned for three long TD passes. Corners B.J. Lowery and true freshman Desmond King have played more man coverage. Last week, Minnesota found a vein of success with the post corner route, going over or inside on Lowery. Iowa has forced teams to the air in the first five weeks and that has scarred the secondary. "It's like the relief pitcher that gives up the home run, you can't pack it in, you have to take the ball the next day," Ferentz said. Advantage: Iowa SPECIAL TEAMS MSU punter Mike Sadler has been busy. He averages 41.20 yards 25 punts, that's second to only Purdue in the Big Ten (but only two more than No. 3 Iowa). He has placed 48 percent of his punts (12 of 25) inside the 20 and 32 percent inside the 10 (8-of-25). Conversely, Iowa sophomore Connor Kornbrath has put 56 percent of his punts (13 of 23) inside the opponent's 20. He also has had just three punts returned. The punter is a weapon in this game. In the last six meetings, the schools have combined for 76 punts (12.6 a game). Senior Kevin Muma missed two field goals in the 20- to 39-yard range and lost the job to freshman Michael Geiger, whose only two field goals came at Notre Dame, one being a 43-yarder into the wind. Iowa kicker Mike Meyer has made five of his last FGs and is 3-for-3 from 40-plus yards. Wide receiver Macgarret Kings seems to have settled in at punt return (10.5 ypr). Can the Spartans make Iowa pay for shoddy kick coverage? RB Nick Hill is MSU's primary kick returner. He averages 19.0 yards a return. MSU is last in the Big Ten with 17.86 a return. Ferentz said during the week that Iowa's breakdowns that allowed returns of 66 and 53 yards at Minnesota were fixable. Advantage: Iowa INTANGIBLES 1) The Bully Belt — Michigan State is frank in its action and intention. The Spartans defense has backed this up and then some for the last several years. There simply is no substitute for the confidence of an established and stellar record of excellence. MSU defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi punctuated that last week with his comments about the penalties against his secondary at Notre Dame. 2) Simply turnovers — The two anomalies in the Ferentz-Dantonio/Iowa-Michigan State grunt fest were 2010 and 2011. In '10, the Hawkeyes won 37-6 on the strength of three turnovers. In '11, it was Michigan State 37-21 and Iowa with three turnovers. The turnover numbers this season favor . . . oh, look at that, both teams sit at plus-3. 3) Home field, home schmield — This series has become so vacuum-packed that there really no advantage to anything really. In the last six meetings, the home team is 3-3. Advantage: Push IOWA WILL WIN IF . . . It keeps doing what it's doing on third down. The Hawkeyes are No. 13 in the nation converting 52.50 percent on third down (42 of 80). Last season, Iowa was 36.36 on third down with just 64 conversions all season. On defense, Iowa is No. 7 in the nation, allowing just a 25.35 conversion percentage. MICHIGAN STATE WILL WIN IF . . . The Spartans can keep Rudock from finding a comfort level, keep him guessing and just generally see if he has any flinch in him. Iowa's sophomore QB has yet to be marauded. The Spartans have that gear. In 2011, this defense produced 45 sacks. Five members from this year's defense picked up sacks that season.

Elijah Parish Lovejoy (November 9, 1802 – November 7, 1837) was an American Presbyterian minister, journalist, newspaper editor and abolitionist. He was murdered by pro-slavery mob in Alton, Illinois, during their attack on his warehouse to destroy his press and abolitionist materials.
Lovejoy's father was a Congregational minister and his mother a devout Christian. He attended Waterville College (now Colby College) in his home state of Maine. From 1824 until his 1826 graduation, while still an undergraduate, he also served as headmaster of Colby's associated high school, the Latin School (later Coburn Classical Institute). He traveled west and in 1827 settled in St. Louis, Missouri. He worked as an editor of an anti-Jacksonian newspaper, the St. Louis Observer and ran a school. Five years later, he studied at the Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey and became an ordained Presbyterian preacher. Returning to St. Louis, he set up a church and resumed work as editor of the Observer. His editorials criticized slavery and other church denominations.
In May 1836, after anti-abolitionist opponents in St. Louis destroyed his printing press for the third time, Lovejoy left the city and moved across the river to Alton in the free state of Illinois. In 1837 he started the Alton Observer, also an abolitionist paper. On November 7, 1837, a pro-slavery mob attacked the warehouse where Lovejoy had his fourth printing press. Lovejoy and his supporters exchanged gunfire with the mob, which fatally shot him. He died on the spot and was soon hailed as a martyr by abolitionists across the country. After his death, his brother Owen Lovejoy entered politics and became the leader of the Illinois abolitionists.
Early life and education[edit]
Lovejoy was born at his grandfather's frontier farmhouse near Albion, Maine, as the first of the nine children of Elizabeth (Pattee) and Reverend Daniel Lovejoy.[1] Lovejoy's father was a Congregational preacher and farmer and his mother, a devout Christian. Daniel Lovejoy named his son "Elijah Parish" in honor of his close friend and mentor, the Reverend Elijah Parish, who was also involved in politics.[2] Due to his own lack of an education, he encouraged his sons—Daniel, Joseph Cammett, Owen, John and Elijah—to become educated men. As a result, Elijah was taught to read the Bible and other theological texts at an early age. After completing his early studies in public schools, Lovejoy attended the Academy at Monmouth and China Academy. After becoming proficient enough in Latin and mathematics, he enrolled at Waterville College (now Colby College) in Waterville, Maine, as a sophomore in 1823.[3] He excelled in his studies, and upon faculty recommendation, he became a teacher in the college's preparatory division. Lovejoy received financial support from Reverend Benjamin Tappan to continue his attendance at Waterville College.[4] His cousin Nathan A. Farwell later served as a U.S. Senator from Maine.
In September 1826, Lovejoy graduated from Waterville College with first-class honors[5] at the top of his class.[6] During the winter and spring, he taught at China Academy. Dissatisfied with daily teaching, Lovejoy thought about moving to the South or Western United States. His former teachers at Waterville College advised him that he would best serve God in the West.[7] Agreeing, Lovejoy in May 1827 moved to Boston to earn money for his journey, having settled on Illinois as his destination.[8] Unsuccessful at finding work, he started to Illinois by foot. He stopped in New York City in mid-June, to try to find work. He eventually landed a position with the Saturday Evening Gazette as a newspaper subscription peddler. For nearly five weeks, he walked up and down streets, knocking on peoples' doors and wheedling passersby, in hopes of getting them to subscribe to the newspaper.[9] Struggling with his finances, he wrote to Reverend Jeremiah Chaplin, the president of Waterville College, explaining his situation. Chaplin sent the money that his former student so needed.[9] Lovejoy promptly embarked on his journey to Illinois, reaching Hillsboro, Montgomery County, in the fall of 1827. Lovejoy did not think he could do well in Illinois's scantly settled land, so he headed for St. Louis.[10]
There he quickly established himself as the editor of the anti-Jacksonian newspaper, the St. Louis Observer, and as the headmaster of a coeducational private school. In 1832, influenced by the Christian revivalist movement led by abolitionist David Nelson, he decided to become a preacher.[11] He returned East to study at the Princeton Theological Seminary, and upon completion, went to Philadelphia, where he became an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church in April 1833. Upon returning to St. Louis, he set up a Presbyterian church and renewed his work as editor of the St. Louis Observer.
A major port in a slave state surrounded by free ones, St. Louis was a center of abolitionist and pro-slavery factions. From 1814 to 1860, more than three hundred freedom suits were filed by slaves to gain freedom, often based on their having lived in free territory with their masters. At the same time, it was an area where both free blacks and slaves worked in the city, especially on the waterfront and steamboats.
Marriage and family[edit]
In 1835, Lovejoy married Celia Ann French, and they had two children.
Move to Alton[edit]
Tensions over slavery increased in St. Louis and three times, pro-slavery opponents destroyed Lovejoy's printing press to try to stop his publication. The last time was after he criticized Judge Luke E. Lawfull for his failure to indict individuals linked to a mob lynching of a free black man.[citation needed] The man had been taken from jail, where he was being held after killing two law officers during arrest.[12]
In 1836 Lovejoy moved with his family across the river to Alton, Illinois, in 1836 and the next year founded the Alton Observer. While in a free state, Alton was also a center for slave catchers trying to capture escaped slaves and for pro-slavery forces. It had been largely settled by southerners.
On November 7, 1837, pro-slavery partisans approached Gilman's warehouse, where Lovejoy had hidden his printing press.[13][14] According to the Alton Observer, the mob fired shots into the warehouse. When Lovejoy and his men returned fire, they hit several people in the crowd, killing a man named Bishop.[13]
The leaders of the mob set up a ladder against the warehouse. They sent a boy up with a torch to set fire to the wooden roof. Lovejoy and his supporter Royal Weller went outside, surprised the pro-slavery partisans, pushed over the ladder and retreated back inside the warehouse. The mob put up the ladder again; when Lovejoy and Weller went out to overturn it, they were spotted and shot. Lovejoy was hit five times with slugs from a shotgun and died immediately; Weller was wounded. The mob destroyed the new printing press by carrying it to a window and throwing it out onto the riverbank. They broke it up and threw the pieces into the river.
Francis Butter Murdoch, the district attorney of Alton, prosecuted Lovejoy's murder but no one was convicted.
Lovejoy was considered a martyr by the abolition movement. In his name, his brother Owen became the leader of the Illinois abolitionists. Owen and his brother Joseph wrote a memoir about Elijah, which was published in 1838 by the Anti-Slavery Society in New York and distributed widely among abolitionists in the nation. With his murder symbolic of the rising tensions within the country, Lovejoy is called the "first casualty of the Civil War."[citation needed]
Elijah Lovejoy was buried in Alton Cemetery in an unmarked grave. In 1860, Thomas Dimmock, editor of the Alton Democrat, located the grave and arranged for a proper grave marker. Some of his supporters were later buried near him.
On November 2, 1837, five days before his death, he gave the following speech in Alton on the abolition question:
This section contains too many or too-lengthy quotations for an encyclopedic entry. (November 2013) |
"It is not true, as has been charged upon me, that I hold in contempt the feelings and sentiments of this community, in reference to the question which is now agitating it. I respect and appreciate the feelings and opinions of my fellow-citizens, and it is one of the most painful and unpleasant duties of my life, that I am called upon to act in opposition to them. If you suppose, sir, that I have published sentiments contrary to those generally held in this community, because I delighted in differing from them, or in occasioning a disturbance, you have entirely misapprehended me. But, sir, while I value the good opinion of my fellow-citizens, as highly as any one, I may be permitted to say, that I am governed by higher considerations than either the favor or the fear of man. I am impelled to the course I have taken, because I fear God. As I shall answer it to my God in the great day, I dare not abandon my sentiments, or cease in all proper ways to propagate them.
"I, Mr. Chairman, have not desired, or asked any compromise. I have asked for nothing but to be protected in my rights as a citizen--rights which God has given me, and which are guaranteed to me by the constitution of my country. Have I, sir, been guilty of any infraction of the laws? Whose good name have I injured? When, and where, have I published any thing injurious to the reputation of Alton?
"Have I not, on the other hand, labored, in common with the rest of my fellow-citizens, to promote the reputation and interests of this City? What, sir, I ask, has been my offence? [sic] Put your finger upon it--define it--and I stand ready to answer for it. If I have committed any crime, you can easily convict me. You have public sentiment in your favor. You have [your] juries, and you have your attorney [looking at the attorney-general], and I have no doubt you can convict me. But if I have been guilty of no violation of law, why am I hunted up and down continually like a partridge upon the mountains? Why am I threatened with the tar-barrel? Why am I waylaid every day, and from night to night, and my life in jeopardy every hour?
"You have, sir, made up, as the lawyers say, a false issue; there are not two parties between whom there can be a compromise. I plant myself, sir, down on my unquestionable rights, and the question to be decided is, whether I shall be protected in the exercise and enjoyment of those rights,--that is the question, sir;--whether my property shall be protected; whether I shall be suffered to go home to my family at night without being assailed, and threatened with tar and feathers, and assassination; whether my afflicted wife, whose life has been in jeopardy, from continued alarm and excitement, shall, night after night, be driven from a sick-bed into the garret, to save her life from the brick-brats and violence of the mobs; that, sir, is the question." [Here, he reportedly broke into tears, then continued.]
"Forgive me, sir, that I have thus betrayed my weakness. It was the allusion to my family that overcame my feelings. Not, sir, I assure you, from any fears on my part. I have no personal fears. Not that I feel able to contest the matter with the whole community; I know perfectly well I am not. I know, sir, you can tar and feather me, hang me up, or put me into the Mississippi, without the least difficulty. But what then? Where shall I go? I have been made to feel that if I am not safe at Alton, I shall not be safe anywhere. I recently visited St. Charles to bring home my family, and was torn from their frantic embrace by a mob. I have been beset night and day at Alton. And now, if I leave here and go elsewhere, violence may overtake me in my retreat, and I have no more claim upon the protection of any other community than I have upon this; and I have concluded, after consultation with my friends, and earnestly seeking counsel of God, to remain at Alton, and here to insist on protection in the exercise of my rights. If the civil authorities refuse to protect me, I must look to God; and if I die, I have determined to make my grave in Alton." - Joseph P. and Owen Lovejoy, The Martyrdom of Lovejoy, An Account of the Life, Trials, and Perils of Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy (1838)
Legacy and honors[edit]

WSU is putting the culture back in agriculture
Published on Wed, Oct 15, 2008 by
Evan Mclean

There is more to being a successful farmer than waking up early, relishing in the smell of a new harvest or putting seeds in the ground.
The job has nuances that make it more of a lifestyle than a career. But with so many farms being lost to development, the number of those with the agricultural lifestyle, or culture, is beginning to dwindle.
The Sequim Prairie Grange, as well as the other six granges in the county, is experiencing a loss in numbers, an aging membership and could be threatened with closure if things continue down this road.
Yet, at the same time, with the continued subdivision of eastern Clallam County and a flow of transplants looking for the quality of life the area offers, there has been a recent proliferation of small-time farmers.
"What we began looking at were two issues in the county, the potential fall of the local Grange as well as the unmet needs of small farmers," said Curtis Beus, director of the Washington State University Clallam County Extension office.
"The important thing for us was not to fix the problems so much an reinvigorate the culture behind agriculture, which, in turn, can solve these two issues and possibly cause positive change on a larger level."
Beus points out the county's main rural residential zone allows larger parcels of land to be split into 5-acre plots, just big enough to farm more than a family needs but small enough that those cultivating the land might not have considered joining a local Grange.
"The culture behind agriculture develops ties between neighbors, stronger farming skill sets and a nexus for things to happen with both food production and the local quality of life," Beus said, indicating many social functions still in effect today originated from the farming lifestyle, such as barn dances, festivals and harvest celebrations.
The Extension office conducts a 14-week class for small farmers. Beus said the single most reoccurring comment from the students is the desire to continue the social element beyond the end of the class.
"People on smaller farms cannot get bulk deals on fertilizer, cannot afford the newest equipment to harvest small acreage and may not know best practices for farming in this area," Beus said. "But the Grange has the local experience, can provide a network for equipment sharing and will coordinate farmers into buying things like fertilizer together to get a better rate."
Beus said he's already seen some smaller farmers take advantage of helpful farmers with experience in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.
Lisa and Joe Bridge recently moved to the Sequim area and toyed around with the idea of renting a farm but decided to buy five acres known as the Rainbow Farm and start their own operation.
While Joe was from the area initially, the couple still needed help getting off the ground.
"I see opportunities through this type of a cooperative effort that will help us, but will also help farming in the valley as a whole," Lisa said. "We're trying to make the cooperative ventures like they used to be, with farmers working together to make things work for each other and the region."
The Bridges are farming vegetables, berries, fruits and grains on their land off Towne Road.
"Grains are a real hot commodity right now and we'd like to get a better operation, which improved a lot this year already because of the help from some local growers on bigger farms," Lisa said, indicating farmer John Dickinson shared a grain binder from the 1920s he'd recently restored and Dave Bekkavar offered his early 1930s thresher for her and her husband's crop.
"It seemed fitting the old style of helping each other out was done with such old equipment. It goes to show the way things were built back then were made to last and have a quality that is applicable today."
Beus said the Bridges were lucky to have local connections because many who move here try to go it alone.
"It's many people's dream to move here, buy some property and do some small farming," Beus said. "This can be a positive thing. This is one thing that will keep agriculture alive in this area so long as we make sure it is successful."
The first meeting set to organize local farmers, orient them with the Sequim Prairie Grange and set up a framework on how to move forward is scheduled for Oct. 26 at the Grange.
Several local farmers will give their own stories and the Extension office has brought in guest speaker Michael Ableman, who has an extensive history in recreating the culture in agriculture.

"The Godfather" exploded on the world screen in 1972, breaking records and looking to be the biggest film ever. Only three years later it was eclipsed, money-wise and otherwise-wise, by Steven Spielberg's Jaws [Universal]. This was only Spielberg's second film; the instantaneous success established him as one of the world's leading directors within days.
It is of little moment — watching the 1975 film 35-odd years later — to recount the way it singlehandedly changed the feature film world, but "Jaws" instigated a thorough change. At the time, important movies opened at a handful of theatres in select cities; Radio City Music Hall, for example, was a prime spot. (The "Godfather" opened in just five theatres.) After a number of weeks, it would expand to additional cities, then to additional theatres in the same cities, and eventually widen until you could see it just about anywhere. An occasional film did open in numerous theatres, but these were usually titles that the studio was convinced would quickly die.
Realizing that they had a likely blockbuster on their hands, the producers and the studio wondered why they should make eager ticketbuyers in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, San Francisco (et al) wait months and months before "Jaws" got to Boston, Philadelphia (et al). Why not just open it everywhere, at once? Nobody had done it before, but Universal took the plunge and opened "Jaws" on 464 screens simultaneously. I remember front page coverage, not just about the movie but about the audacious marketing. (Instead of doing separate marketing campaigns spread over months of openings in different cities, "Jaws" was able to do one enormous initial push. Including an unheard-of national television campaign.) The results were jaw-dropping at the time; the Spielberg thriller became the first film to break the $100-million mark in rentals.

Also of interest to three stage-related Blu-rays from the Disney family of studios. The current hit Newsies, now wowing crowds at the Nederlander, first saw life as the 1992 film of the same title. Life and near-death, as it was a famously disastrous flop. An after-life on cable and video turned the Alan Menken-Jack Feldman musical into a cult favorite, happily resulting in the present stage version. Here it is on Blu-ray from Disney on one disc, with a handful of bonus features from the old DVD release. Christian Bale, Bill Pullman, Ann-Margret and Robert Duvall star.
Over at the Marquis we have Michael Grandage's revival of Evita, which makes it an interesting time to watch the 1996 film version. Madonna, Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Pryce star. The Blu-ray, from Buena Vista, includes "The Making of 'Evita'" and Madonna's music video of "You Must Love Me."
Finally, Touchstone brings us a Blu-ray pairing of Sister Act (1992) and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993). Here are the original films, starring Whoopi Goldberg (along with Maggie Smith, among others). For those interested in screen-to-stage adaptations, a comparison of "Sister Act" (on film) and Sister Act: The Musical (at the Broadway, and soon to tour) should prove instructive.
(Steven Suskin is author of the recently released Updated and Expanded Fourth Edition of "Show Tunes" as well as "The Sound of Broadway Music: A Book of Orchestrators and Orchestrations," "Second Act Trouble" and the "Opening Night on Broadway" books.

Hey -- I Don't Remember You!: The Lesser Known Pac-Man Ghosts

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Cilantro Recalled in Seven States
Concern about possible salmonella contamination has triggered the recall of 6,141 cartons of cilantro that were shipped to seven states by California-based Pacific Cilantro.
The company said the cilantro is being recalled as a precaution after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found salmonella in a sample of the herbs, the Associated Press reported.
The cilantro, which was grown by Salt River Farming in the Phoenix-area, was distributed in Arizona, California, Indiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey and South Carolina. Each bunch has "Pacific" on the twist tie and the UPC code 33383 80104.
Consumers are being told to return cilantro that was bought after Nov. 16 and before Dec. 10, the AP reported.
Cooked Chicken Breasts Recalled by N. Carolina Company
About 4,000 pounds of cooked chicken breasts that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes have been recalled by the House of Raeford Farms of North Carolina.
The recall includes 18- to 22-pound boxes that contain two 9- to 11-pound "boneless oven roasted chicken breasts" per box, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, CNN reported.
The recalled products have the serial number "P-239A" inside the USDA mark of inspection, a product of "94268" and a package date of "1270" (Sept. 27, 2011). The chicken breasts were distributed to delicatessens and food service institutions in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The USDA said there have been no reported cases of illness associated with the recalled chicken breasts, CNN said.
Mutant Bird Flu Virus Causes Concern
A mutant version of the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus that's contagious among humans and other mammals has been developed by Dutch scientists.
The announcement by the team at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam triggered concern that the mutant virus could find its way into nature or that publication of the research on how the virus was mutated could be used by terrorists, Agence France-Presse reported.
But Dutch authorities have offered assurances that the mutant virus is secure, European Union Health Commissioner John Dalli told journalists.
The H5N1 bird flu virus is fatal in 60 percent of human cases but has killed only 350 people so far because it is not easily transmitted between humans, AFP reported.
N.C. Task Force Mulls Restitution for Sterilization Victims
A North Carolina task force is trying to decide how to compensate the estimated 7,600 people who were sterilized as part of an aggressive eugenics program that operated in the state between 1933 and 1977.
Eugenics is a form of social/genetic engineering once considered a legitimate method for improving the gene pool and eliminating poverty. North Carolina was just one of many states with eugenics programs.
In North Carolina, girls and women accounted for about 85 percent of those sterilized, and nonwhite minorities about 40 percent, The New York Times reported.
Blacks were disproportionately affected by the program because they were more likely to be poor and uneducated and to be from large rural families.
"The state owes something to the victims," said Governor Bev Perdue, who campaigned on the issue, The Times reported.
The task force has been meeting since May and is expected to submit a final report by February.

Steven Holl's Celebrated L.I.C. Library Design to Be Carried Out on the Cheap
In a city where library design seems to have taken on diminished significance in this budget-constrained era, with free-standing structures giving way to ground-floor condos in gleaming new towers, the Hunter's Point library designed by Steven Holl and Chris McVoy stood as a literal beacon to bibliophiles. When plans were revealed in 2011, New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff lauded the design as "a striking expression of the continuing effort to shake the dust off of the city's aging libraries and recast them as communal hubs."

Exams and TestsThe initial step in making the diagnosis of a blood clot is obtaining a history. Since patients rarely are able to state that they have a blood clot, the health care practitioner will ask questions about what might be occurring. If a blood clot or thrombus is a consideration, the history may expand to access the patient's risk factors or situations that might have put the patient at risk for forming a clot.
Physical examination will help add information to increase the suspicion for a blood clot.
Testing for venous blood clots
Testing for arterial blood clots Arterial thrombosis is an emergency, since tissue cannot survive very long without blood supply before there is irreversible damage. In an arm or leg, often a surgeon is immediately consulted. Arteriography may be considered. Arteriography is a technique in which dye is injected into the artery in question to look for blockage. Sometimes, if there is a large artery that is occluded, this test is done in the operating room with the presumption that a surgical procedure will be necessary to open the vessel and restore blood flow. For an acute heart attack, the EKG may confirm the diagnosis, although blood tests may be used to look for enzymes (troponin, myoglobin, CPK) that leak into the bloodstream from irritated heart muscle. With an acute heart attack, the diagnostic and therapeutic procedure of choice is a heart catheterization. For an acute stroke (cerebrovascular accident, CVA), the test of choice is a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the head to look for bleeding or tumor as the cause of stroke symptoms. If the stroke symptoms resolve, meaning that a transient ischemic attack (TIA) has occurred, tests may include carotid ultrasound to look for blockage in the major arteries of the neck and echocardiography to look for blood clots in the heart that may embolize to the brain.

A slightly healthier version of a classic Texas dish, loaded with flavor and mild enough for any crowd. Assemble up to a day in advance or cover tightly and freeze unbaked. To cook, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
You control the flavor and spice in these simple baked beans by choosing your favorite bottled barbecue sauce. Canned pinto beans (navy or great northern work well too) make these a breeze to prepare.
This simple but sumptuous salad is an excellent way to showcase a variety of fresh, in-season tomato flavors, sizes, shapes and colors.
Cut these chewy marshmallow and corn flake cookies into other Halloween shapes, too. Be sure to enjoy the cookie trimmings as a treat!
