A deer was found impaled on the spikes of a metal fence on Valley Road Monday, apparently due to a failed attempt at jumping the fence that surrounds the Carey Estate.
The incident was reported to police at 7:25 a.m. The carcass was removed by Department of Public Works employees about two hours later.
"I didn't know deer were around here," said Marie Scarmato, who lives a block away from the spot.
She was driving her son, Nicholas, to his bus stop when he cried out that he saw a "big brown animal" hanging vertically from a spike on the fence. Scarmato didn't have time to stop but saw the gruesome sight for herself as she returned to her house. She reported it to police, who had already received another call about it.
"A deer was the last thing I expected," she said. "The cops said they have been in the area but can never take a foothold here because they get killed."
A Glen Cove Police spokesman said there have been deer sightings in the area recently, but it is not known if this is the deer that has been seen, or if there are others.
He said the homeowner of the estate was notified.
"Very strange and sad," Scarmato said.

Parkin and Laidler Profiled in The Globe and Mail
The recent appointment of Carolyn Wilkins (MA, 1988) to Senior Deputy Governor at the Bank of Canada prompted The Globe and Mail to do a feature article on Professors Emeritus David Laidler and Michael Parkin. Described as a golden era the article highlights the history of the pairs' arrival at Western from Britain, the influence their research has had on monetary policy in Canada and around the world, and the remarkable set of researchers and students who were incited to come to Western in the 1970s and 1980s to work and study with them. Just like Wilkins many of these students are now providing today's intellectual leadership with regard to monetary policy worldwide.

Carol Brooks, the rock behind former Mayor Pro Tem Alvin Brooks, died Sunday after a battling cancer for some time.
Carol Brooks was 78 years old. Alvin Brooks, a former police officer and crime fighter, always considered his beloved wife his better half.
She was surrounded by her loved ones when she died before midnight Sunday, according to a statement from Councilman Jermaine Reed.
The couple had six children and were married for 63 years.
Brooks was a pillar of strength for her family and supported her husband's efforts, even though they meant he was often away from his own family. She helped create the anti-crime fighting organization in 1979 in the response to the murders of nine women.
When her husband ran for mayor in 2007, Carol Brooks said Hillary Clinton was a political wife she admired. She spoke about how she would continue to support her family while tackling causes that were near to her heart.
Service arrangements are pending. Cards may be mailed to the Brooks Family, P.O. Box 414523, Kansas City, MO 64108. Condolences may also be shared on the Ad Hoc Group Against Crime's website at www.adhocgroupkc.com.

Prescott fire chief prepping for holidays without hotshots
PHOENIX -- The man known as the father of the Granite Mountain Hotshots said it's going to be tough knowing his hotshots won't be home for the holidays.
Prescott Wildland Fire Division Chief Darrell Willis started the Granite Mountain Hotshots in 2001 and on June 30, 19 of the teams 20 members died when the Yarnell Hill Fire overtook them after a dramatic shift in the wind direction in a canyon in Yarnell.
Willis said the toughest days are still ahead.
"We're starting to heal. There has been a lot of activity and tremendous support for the families internationally and the reality is starting to hit us even harder with the holidays here. I had these guys over to my house for dinner. I knew them, their wives and kids, one of Granite Mountain team members dated my daughter. My son was on the team in 2007."
Willis responded to a question that has been asked many times since the tragedy on June 30: Will the Granite Mountain Hotshots be reformed with new team members?
"No, right now no," he said. "It's very complicated with the workman's comp, the insurance pool. The city is expecting a huge payout for the life of the families for workman comp benefits and the premiums are going to be high."
And even though Willis doesn't believe that the Granite Mountain team will ever be brought back with new members, that doesn't mean the rebuilding isn't underway.
"I'm pulling together a fuels crew to do some work made up of seasonal Prescott National Forest hotshots to help us do work this winter around town," he said. "There's plenty of work to do."

Back to Cookson Hills
"The preacher preached till his tongue couldn't wag,
But he couldn't stop their sin..."
Old Bill Jones
Choc returned to Kansas City to hide out, no place else to go. He knew that to return straight to the Cookson Hills would be foolish, as he was sure the government would show up there in droves over the next couple of months or so, driving through Akins and Sallisaw and Bixby and across the back roads in between ready to pop at the first sight of Charles Arthur Floyd. The headlines screamed, "PRETTY BOY" ESCAPES TRAIN TO PRISON and, while he hated the nickname, he loved the attention. He felt, in a way, like a hero.
He couldn't stay too long in Kansas City, either. That he knew. After reuniting with Juanita, who was thrilled to have read about his escape, he looked up a fellow whom the grapevine said was in town, a gunman named William Miller. Like himself, Miller was on the run from the cops after recently breaking from the same prison Choc had been bound for, and was itching for an opportunity to get out of Kansas City for a little excitement on the road. Because he was considered hot property, few outlaws wanted his company. But, Choc was game. He heard that Miller was afraid of nothing. Called "Billy the Baby Face Killer," he had served as a bank robber and torpedo for some of the top city mobs.
Miller was overjoyed when Choc approached him. Together the two men planned a series of bank jobs in the East and South. But, before they left Kansas City, there was one chore that needed attending. The Ash brothers, William and Wallace, were up to their old tricks, this time more vehemently. William's wife, Rose (and a sister of Juanita Baird) had left him and was staying with Juanita and Choc. The Ashes, Choc heard, had notified the police that he was back in town, openly betraying the "comrade code" of Kansas City. As well, they were traveling from one hangout to another, loudly proclaiming that they would see Choc dead or captured. And they would imitate "Pretty Boy" in a pansyish manner, alluding to his nickname.
After the Floyd-Miller combine left town, William and Wallace Ash were found dead in a ditch outside of town. The police knew who had committed the murders, but Choc and Miller were long gone. And with them, Juanita and Rose Baird.
The duo of Choc and Miller was destined to be short lived. After helping themselves to $2,000 from the Mount Zion bank in small-town Ellison, Kentucky, and another $1,000 at the Whitehouse (Ohio) bank, police closed in on the group in Toledo. A salesperson at Uhlman's Clothing Store, where the girls were shopping, accompanied by the men, recognized Choc from wanted posters and phoned the police. In no time, Police Chief Galliher and Patroleman Castner were on the scene, waiting outside. When the four suspects emerged, Galliher demanded that they raise their arms and surrender. Miller and Choc drew their revolvers and engaged the police in a shoot-out, there on the busy streets of Toledo. While citizens ducked for cover, the pitch battle continued as the outlaws tried to maneuver down the sidewalk, edging closer to their parked auto.
Miller took a bullet in the chest; he was dead before he hit the ground. Juanita collapsed when a missile ricocheted from a wall and entered the back of her head. Sister Rose, seeing this, threw herself down over her sibling and wailed. Now on his own, Choc dodged between fenders of cars, still making his way closer to the gang's vehicle. When Castner stepped out from behind the squad to get a better view of the escaping criminal, Choc squeezed off several shots into his abdomen. The police chief retorted, but his aim was off. Floyd, feeling like the mark in a shooting gallery, scurried behind the wheel of his awaiting roadster. Hearing the ping of Galliher's bullets on the rear fender, he ground the gears. Up sidewalk, through wrong-way intersection, over lawns and down alleys Choc sped out of Toledo.
So far, Ohio had been bad luck to him and he vowed never to return.
By April, 1931, he was heading west towards the Cookson Hills, hotter than ever. After spending weeks in the thick brush of the cascades near Akins, Oklahoma, he came down to visit his widowed mother, brothers and sisters, then hit the road again, newly armed, and this time determined to stay in the area he knew best: the mountain country.. As he quickly found out, his own people loved him. There would be no tattlers here, no pimps, no big guys expecting a payback, no Ash brothers, no city slicker flatfeet hungry for a promotion. The state cops and the newly created Oklahoma Bureau of Criminal Investigation, well....he could outstep them. They didn't know the hills like he did, never drove the back roads as he had, didn't know the maze of forests where he grew up. Choc knew every trail, every cave, every leaf.
Since Choc's last visit to Oklahoma, the Depression had hit hard. Wall Street had crumpled and had sent America into a confusing down-spiral of economic loss. In the rural areas of the Southwest, the plague struck with cruelty. With the price of farm produce falling and the prices of farm gear rising, croppers were losing their homes to unsympathetic bankers. Small-town economies dwindled and entire towns went bankrupt. Then came the drought. "With little or no rain, this area was growing into what became known in the 1930s as the Great Dust Bowl," pens Sue L. Hamilton in "Pretty Boy" Floyd, America's Most Wanted Public Enemy. "The wind picked up the dry dirt, blowing it eastwardly across the country."
"Pretty Boy" Floyd had come home and with his homecoming he found a new crusade. He no longer robbed banks for pleasure, for a restlessness, now he had a reason to kick the money people in their money belt, to punish those who had it all and wouldn't share. The thrill of what he had been doing had been wearing thin; any fulfillment, he realized now, had been surface and not personal. But, it was time he got personal, to send a message from the Oakie to Uncle Sam. The message read, If you ain't gonna do nothing to help the little guy, "Pretty Boy" Floyd will!
Here is where his legend took off like a big bass drum leading a John Philip Sousa march on Independence Day. What sounded like drums was actually the staccato of Choc's Thompson gun echoing through the valleys of the mountain country, between Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri, all centered around Akins where he headquartered. . Before the year 1931 ended, the bandit would rob enough institutions, wobble enough banker's knees, tear up enough unrecorded mortgages, shake up enough civic committees, frighten enough of the greedy gusses and toss back to the poor enough money to be crowned "Robin Hood of Oklahoma" or "The Phantom of the Ozarks" by an adoring public.
Choc needed an assistant, someone who could serve as lookout and help carry the loot he planned to transfer. For a partner, he chose an old friend from the hills he knew as a boy, George Birdwell. Now in his mid-40s, Birdwell had been a novice preacher when Choc saw him last, but in the meantime he had traded his Bible for a gun. Tired of seeing his family go hungry with "this here Depression," he had robbed small markets nothing big, but enough to eat. Of Birdwell, Jeffery S. King states, "He had no police record; the only trouble he ever had was when a jealous husband shot him in the leg in 1913." Choc's invitation to ride along gave him a chance to do more good for his people than asking them to turn the other emaciated cheek.
Between 1931 and 1932, Choc Floyd and Birdwell held up more banks than anyone in Oklahoma's history. The list reads more like the state bankers' membership association. A very partial few are the Bank of Earlsboro, the Konowa Bank, the Bank of Shamrock, the Morris State Bank (Muskogee), the State Bank of Castle, the Bank of Padem, the Dover Bank (Oklahoma City), and many more in all directions. Fifty-one banks in all in 1931 alone, all attributed to "Pretty Boy" Floyd.
Every robbery followed the same format. Birdwell would first "case the joint" to determine its fire power (number of guards), its layout (where were the safes and how accessible were they), its alarm system (was it the new buzzer type that could be pressed from behind a teller cage or the old-fashioned chain/clanger type) and its present number of customers (Choc didn't want to invade a bank at its busiest and most dangerous hour).
The bandits would park close and keep the car running ("Gangsters would prefer the Ford V8 because of its roominess and speed," says writer Sue L. Hamilton). Brims of their Stetsons pulled low, they would enter the bank and whip out their armament, Birdwell's submachine gun on the guards, Choc's on the employees.
"Charles Arthur 'Pretty Boy' Floyd liked to carry Thompsons with the buttstock removed and a 20-round clip in place of the familiar drum magazine," Charles M.B. Smith tells us in an article written for Sharpshooter magazine. "This way, the gun could be concealed under an overcoat and, if shooting was involved, fired one-handed, leaving the other hand free to carry loot, grab hostages, or steer the getaway car." While Birdwell kept the guards at bay, Choc would vault the counter, usually collar a teller, and use him or her as ransom until the other tellers rounded up the cash that Choc demanded. If an alarm had been punched, the fleeing robbers would walk out calmly with a hostage until they were safely in their car. Sometimes they would make the hostage get in the auto with them to discourage any following, then leave the poor soul off at the end of town.
Bank insurance rates doubled after the start of the following year. Bankers were incensed and demanded that Governor "Alfalfa Bill" Murray call out the National Guard to catch the runaway ghost of a bank robber. His reply was right on the money: "National Guard? As long as he stays down there where he's at and is protected the way he is by those people, he will continue to rob banks National Guard or not!"
The Governor had evidently heard the stories of Choc's benevolence, his reputation among the Oakies as the quintessential knight attacking the governmental ogres. Stories were told and retold until they reached all parts of the country, making Choc a legend in his own time. Stories about how (to quote the television Biography special) "he brought money and groceries to families that weren't going to have a Christmas. These were families who didn't have anything, anything at all." According to Jeffery S. King, "He was generous to kids and old people...It was reported he was feeding a dozen families."
He was so well liked that when he decided to knock over the bank in his own home town, Sallisaw, he informed his family and neighbors in advance. Kids, mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles, those on scooters and on walking canes turned out in a picnic mood and sat across the street under the shade of the boardwalk to view the action. Among these was Choc's grandfather. The bank president thought Choc was putting everybody on until his car pulled up out front the bank to the cheers of the spectators. "No offense," he told the surprised gentleman inside, "but, hell, I'm sure you wouldn't mind making a little contribution to the community."
Law officers and lawmakers remained unimpressed, however, with his charity or his sense of humor. Eugene Gum, secretary of the Oklahoma Bankers Association brought together an assembly of peace officers to meet with Adjutant General Charles F. Barrett and the governor on January 15, 1932. Through the association, a reward of $6,000 was put up for the capture of Charles Arthur Floyd, dead or alive.
The state's Bureau of Criminal Investigation led county sheriffs on a merry chase from town to town; they were loaded for bear. The posses accomplished nothing, except to give The Daily Oklahoman a belly laugh. It reported: "The quest for 'Pretty Boy' Floyd has become humorous, or less. He is reported seen at both ends of the state at once. Every town, every day, gets some report to his whereabouts, but he is not there when police arrive...If this tiresome hunt goes on much longer the public will be convinced bank bandits escape either through tribute or through fear on part of the police officer."

San Francisco Police shoot & kill 19 yr old
Warning: the video is graphic.
Yesterday, at 4:45 p.m., SFPD shot a teenager who fled during a fair inspection on a Muni light rail car. The cops claimed that he was armed and had fired shots at them first. After the suspect was shot in the back, no gun was found. Doesn't this sound awfully familiar?
Seriously though, you shot a 19 yr old over a $2 fair? And he later died in the hospital, all because he didn't pay a $2 fair & you assumed he had a gun. Back up arrived before an ambulance did. No back up was needed. There were already other cops on the scene, some even carrying assault rifles. The man was on the ground fighting for his life. That moment in the video where he struggles to even attempt to get up is some of the most chilling video I've seen. Ever.
It's okay though right? America will probably ignore this & move on to some more mindless crap, as is usually the case. I've seen it before with the Oscar grant case, Sean bell, James Brissette, and countless others. When will this country's collective conscious wake up?

Be efficient. If you do hire a lawyer, don't make unnecessary phone calls to the lawyer. Most lawyers charge for time spent on the phone with a client. Keep a list of all items you want to discuss with your lawyer and be prepared to cover them in one phone call or ask them at your next scheduled meeting.
Keep records. File all material you receive from your lawyer in one place. Your file is often the best way to find answers to questions about your case.

But the fundamental way to win a fight is to hurt your opponent without getting hurt yourself, and there's no one better at that than Machida.
"I was blown away by his performance tonight," UFC president Dana White said of Machida afterward. "Absolutely blown away."
Machida's first title defense will come against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, and as great as Rampage is, I'm having a very difficult time seeing him beating Machida. In fact, of all the top light heavyweights in MMA, I actually think Rampage -- with his hard-charging, hard-punching style -- might be the least likely to beat Machida.
If Machida beats Jackson late in 2009, there are several potential challengers for him in 2010. I think the two toughest would be Forrest Griffin and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, both of whom would employ a barrage of strikes on their feet. But I'd be surprised to see either one of them beat Machida.
The closest anyone has come to beating Machida was when Tito Ortiz -- who had been dominated for the first 14 minutes of their bout last year -- nearly pulled out a last-minute submission. I could see Machida maybe losing a fight like that, with a good wrestler getting him on the ground and getting into an advantageous position to submit him. Some day I could see one of the UFC's young up-and-comers, like Jon Jones or Ryan Bader, being in that position. But that wouldn't happen any time soon.
None of this is to say Machida is unbeatable. No one is unbeatable. But Machida improved to 15-0 on Saturday night, and he's still improving. Would anyone be surprised to see Machida run his record to 20-0 before he loses?

My favorite sights of UFC 98
1. Matt Hughes and Matt Serra hugging after their three-round battle, which was the culmination of a two-year war of words. If these two guys can hug it out, anyone can.
2. Drew McFedries coming out swinging in his knockout win over Xavier Foupa-Pokam. I love a good tactician like Machida, but I also love an undercard fighter like McFedries doing all he can to get a quick, exciting finish.
3. Evans standing up in the Octagon after his loss and congratulating Machida, saying Machida was a tough puzzle to solve. Evans was classy in his first defeat.
Quotes of UFC 98
"I'm just going to be a little too much for Dan Miller. I'm a little bigger than him, I'm a little stronger than him, I'm a little more experienced than him, I'm better than him in every area." -- Chael Sonnen in the pre-recorded video the UFC showed before his fight with Miller. That turned out to be a perfect description of how their fight went: Sonnen just turned out to be better than Miller in every area, and he won a one-sided unanimous decision.
"Lyoto Machida is as good as any fighter we've ever seen in the UFC." -- Strong -- and correct -- words from UFC announcer Mike Goldberg.
"Like I've always said before, I'm not going anywhere." -- Matt Hughes, making clear that even though his win over Serra was the final fight on his UFC contract, he has no intention of exploring free agency.
"He's tough, man. He hung in there. I really felt that it came down to that third round ... I thought that I squeezed it out." -- Matt Serra, saying he thinks he deserved the decision after his close fight with Hughes.
UFC 98 Awards
Fight of the Night: Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra. Yes, it lived up to the hype.
Knockout of the Night: Lyoto Machida. That's the second straight knockout of the night award for a guy who people used to call boring.
Submission of the Night: Brock Larson. It was a very impressive showing by Larson, who stopped Mike Pyle with an arm triangle choke in the first round.
Hughes, Serra, Machida and Larson each get $60,000 bonuses.
Good call: I know a lot of people disagree, but I think the judges called the Hughes-Serra bout correctly, with Hughes winning the second and third rounds. All three judges scored the bout 29-28 for Hughes, and I did too.
Bad call: Referee Yves Lavigne was booed by the fans at the MGM Grand for what many thought was a quick stoppage in the undercard bout between Kyle Bradley and Phillippe Nover. That may have affected Lavigne later in the night, when he looked slow and tentative before stopping the fight between McFedries and Foupa-Pokam.
Ground game: Want to know why you have to be a well-rounded fighter if you're going to make it in the UFC? Just watch heavyweight Pat Barry's loss to Tim Hague. Barry is a very talented kickboxer, but he hasn't yet learned the ground game, and that's why Hague had no trouble taking the fight to the mat and submitting Barry with a guillotine in the first round.
Stock up: Larson's win was the 26th in 28 professional MMA fights. Yes, it's true that Larson hasn't often faced elite competition, but there are very, very few fighters at any level who have a record as good as 26-2.
Stock down: Sean Sherk. Before his fight with Frank Edgar, I had Sherk ranked as the No. 2 lightweight in MMA. But after Edgar dominated him for three rounds, Sherk suddenly looks old and slow.
Fight I want to see next: There are so many potentially great fights in the light heavyweight division, but one that hasn't been discussed that I'd love to see is Shogun Rua vs. Rashad Evans. That would be a fascinating battle. We've had a lot of those in the UFC recently.

First Person/Opinion: On Red Flags, Pace Cars And Rider Safety, Part III

By Joe Facer

But such interruptions cannot be avoided in the interests of safety. Motorcycle crashes result in riders lying on the ground. Best case, they get up and pick the bike up and go on racing. Worst case, they are highsided into the air and come down hard on the ground or into an obstacle, or are hit by their bike, losing consciousness in the process and lying unprotected on the ground. If they are on the track surface or in an impact zone, they are in danger of becoming involved in a second incident if another bike and/or rider hits them.

If the original crash was caused by oil on the track, the consequences of not stopping the racing or not moving personnel out of the impact zone can be extreme. But there are very good reasons not to move an injured or unconscious rider immediately since they may have broken bones, or spinal injuries, or head injuries. The crashed rider and the attending cornerworkers and medical personnel can end up exposed to very significant danger for some length of time before they can exit the crash scene. This is a very difficult situation. Complicating this is the problem of maintaining safety for the racers who are still out on the track.

Crashed motorcycles, as long as there are not too many of them, can be quickly removed by the cornerworking crew under the yellow flag. But safety personnel and a downed rider in an impact zone for an extended period of time can be serious hazards to the racers still on the track. Add a parked ambulance to the mix and it can become deadly.

A local yellow flag at the crash site offers some protection but has its limitations. The local yellow flag lowers risk by informing the oncoming racers that there is a hazard at that location and it eliminates passing in the crash zone, but it does not absolutely insure safety through the crash site. There is racing going up to the crash zone, so racers are coming up on the crash zone at high speeds. There is racing going on after the crash site, so lines through the crash site are chosen to allow passing on leaving the crash site. Speeds through the crash zone are chosen to create or deny passing opportunities at the end of the crash zone. A local yellow is a limited safety response to what should be a transitory and limited hazard.

The full-course yellow has its limitations in motorcycle road racing also. Cars are inherently stable, motorcycles are not. During practice two years ago, I came upon a crash scene going up the steepest hill at Sears Point. Bolt upright and wary, I went across an almost invisible line of oil at 30 mph. I was on my head and stopped so fast, I thought I'd been hit from behind by another bike traveling at high speed. The thought of being in the middle of a long line of bikes and riders in that situation gives me the heebie jeebies. I've gone through similar patches of oil leaned over at 80 mph without crashing. Slow is usually safer, but not always when it comes to motorcycles; motorcycles get less stable at low speeds.

Incidental contact in tight formation among cars usually wrinkles sheetmetal and scratches paint. If you've ever had your brake or clutch lever or your front wheel tapped smartly by another bike or rider, you know how fast things can go bad from just light contact in a pack of riders. Motorcycles don't spin or slide out, they spit riders off.

Lining up the pack behind a pace car is another matter for concern. When cars do it, it is usually single file or in pairs, and this pretty much takes up the whole width of the road course. Keeping everyone in order and spaced is relatively easy. Starts from the grid are usually side-by-side and restarts are usually about as orderly as the starts were, since you can't jump the start if there is no place to go except off the track. The pack usually hits the first turn in a fairly orderly freight train fashion.

AMA motorcycle road race starts are made with the bikes gridded four wide. Getting the whole pack lined up four abreast and with a uniform and reasonable space between the bikes and the rows while rolling would be difficult. Racers tend the follow the racing line and the pack would widen and narrow as riders straightened the esses and avoided the marbles, rode around where the track has been oiled and stayed off the off-camber parts of the track.

Anticipating the start would be a huge problem because with a four-wide pack, there is room for at least four more bikes in the row. A one or two-wide pack would have huge problems with anticipated green flags at the rear of a very long pack. With everybody already rolling and anticipating the green flag, you could have the pack entering turn one 10 riders wide and four riders deep and with no place to go if one rider gets a little out of shape. Starts are among the most dangerous aspects of motorcycle road racing. Rolling starts just accentuate the danger.

Finally, motorcycle riders are just too susceptible to injuries to put a seven-foot wide, two-ton moving chicane out on the track. The ambulance goes out on the track for a purpose. It is there to render aid and it is the most convenient way to move supplies, personnel, and medical transport to the injured rider. The hazard that it creates is balanced by the necessity for it being there. The pace car accomplishes nothing that cannot be done more safely and with less risk by corner workers and the flags. The pace car should be eliminated in motorcycle racing.

A badly oiled track, a rider down and not moving on the track or in an impact zone, or an ambulance on the course in an area where visibility is poor, or on the racing line, or in an impact zone probably calls for a immediate red flag. Rider, trackworker, and medical personnel safety demand it. Deciding not to throw the red flag is a judgement call with some risk. Not that the red flag HAS to be thrown, but the basis for that judgement should be sound. This is not good for broadcasters and TV programming, but these can be life and death matters and there is no room for quibbling.

To be continued...

text: The Austin Fire Department origins date back to the late 1850′s. Since then, numerous AFD firefighters have fought in all branches of the US military during our nation's wars. More than a hand full of these men were killed in action as far back as the Civil War. One of Austin's leading merchants who helped John Bremond, Sr. organize Hook and Ladder #1 in 1857 was named Robert J. Lambert. Lt. R.J. Lambert was in the Tom Green Rifles, which was Austin's contingent to Hood's Brigade in the Civil War. Lt. Lambert was killed in the war between the states along with several other members of the old volunteer Austin Fire Department. (more…)

Award Process - Training
The Office of Research & Sponsored Programs (ORSP) eLearning series is designed to give both new and established researchers an introduction (or refresher) to sponsored projects management.
ELearning Series at a Glance
- ORSP 101: The Grant Life Cycle
This first course in the series serves as an overview of the grant life cycle and introduction to topics covered in greater detail in subsequent courses, such as: Identification of Funding, Proposal Development, Proposal Preparation, Proposal Submission, Receipt of Award &Project Start-Up, Post-Award Management, and Award Close-Out.
- ORSP 102: The Pre-Award Process
The second course in the series takes researchers through the steps leading up to submission of a grant proposal to a sponsor, including: developing an idea into a viable grant opportunity, identifying potential funding sources, complying with regulations regarding the use of biohazards or human or animal subjects, preparing a proposal, obtaining campus approvals using PARS, and finally, submitting the proposal to the sponsor.
This third course in the series begins with receipt of an award from a sponsor and ends with award closeout. Topics covered include budget management including monthly review, the hiring process, time and effort reporting, no-cost extensions, and compliance with federal regulations such as those set forth in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars A-21, A-110 and A-133.
Delving deeper into researcher responsibilities regarding budget management, this fourth course in the series covers OMB Circular A-21 principles for determining the allowability of costs on federally-sponsored projects and the process of transferring expenses to or from sponsored projects.
Ignorance of the law is never a viable excuse for non-compliance. These two courses provide investigators with an overview of the federal regulations, and University of Maine System and University of Maine policies and procedures that govern sponsored research.
- ORSP 201A addresses funding accountability, use of human and/or animal subjects, recombinant DNA and/or infectious agents, and radioactive materials and/or lasers.
- ORSP 201B addresses intellectual property and export control regulations.
The ECR Quick Course (PDF) allows investigators to quickly cover the basics of Export Control Regulations including implications of ECR on research activities. Please use the link provided above to access the course.

A quarantine has been ordered at Division II of the Cook County Jail after detainees have come down with the stomach flu.
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart ordered the quarantine, which will remain in place until further notice, a release Wednesday morning from his office said. Detainees housed in the affected unit are under limited movement, and visitation is not allowed.
The division's living, dining, shower, toilet, and all high touch surface areas are being disinfected, the sheriff's office said. Linens have been changed and are being laundered separately.
The quarantine will affect work programs both inside and outside of the jail, the sheriff's office said. Many of the detainees in the affected unit participate in work programs within the jail and outside of the jail. Many of these affected detainees work in the jail's kitchen and assist in transporting meals. But, because of the quarantine, they will not be able to participate in those programs. Additional staff may be needed to cover food transportation and cleaning responsibilities if the outbreak continues to other divisions.
Division II staff are being closely monitored to ensure exposure to affected detainees is limited, according to the sheriff's office. Other concerns include preparing for an outbreak within staff and adding detainees to an already crowded jail. The sheriff's office says that both of these concerns have potential to add overtime costs, and because of these concerns, additional measures are being taken at the jail to prevent the virus from spreading further.

Every minute counts when someone is having a stroke. At Albany Med, our stroke team is ready 24/7 to provide patients with the most advanced treatments available.
A stroke occurs when there's a disturbance in the amount of blood delivered to part of the brain, resulting in injury to brain tissue. Most strokes are due to a blocked blood vessel, but rupture of a blood vessel can also cause a stroke. The severity of strokes can range from mild to life-threatening, but a stroke is always an emergency requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. Every minute counts when someone is having a stroke. Immediately call 911 if someone displays symptoms of a stroke.
The high standards and outcomes of our stroke team have resulted in the highly sought after certification as a Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission and being designated a Stroke Center by the New York State Department of Health, as well as prestigious honors and awards from the American Stroke and Heart Associations.
Albany Med provides consultation and works closely with other hospitals throughout upstate New York, western Massachusetts and Vermont to facilitate rapid transfer of patients to Albany Med for expert evaluation and treatment of stroke.

Enroll Now!
A new session of each course starts monthly. If enrolling in a series of two or
more courses, please be sure to space the start date for each course at least two
months apart.
Have you looked at Microsoft Office 2007 and wondered, "What have they done to us?" Well, in this course we're going to solve the mystery and see just how user-friendly these programs can be. Today, we'll delve into Word by making a simple flier. You'll find out how to get to your old favorite features, and you'll probably even start to like Word's new interface.
No matter what kind of documents you create in Word, making them attractive will always help to get your message across. So, in this lesson, we'll format a report using the new QuickStyles, color and font theme combinations, and some easy art elements. And we'll play with SmartArt, which lets even artistically-challenged folks create gorgeous graphics in a snap.
Today is all about putting the final polish on your Word documents before printing and sending them out. We explore a new spelling feature and how to document sources using footnotes and source lists. Finally, we'll talk about the secret of compatibility between documents in Word 2003 and Word 2007.
It's time to move on to Excel. In today's lesson, we'll review the Excel Ribbon and all the commands it houses. Then we'll enter and format some data in a simple worksheet. Because calculations are the heart of most worksheets, we'll cover a couple of helpful new formula entry techniques and see how to create a chart in the new Excel.
Have you ever wanted to dress up your spreadsheets a little? Today, you'll learn how. Excel has exciting new formatting features that make it a snap. Starting with styles and themes to give your worksheet a polished look, you'll move on to professional-looking chart layouts and styles. You'll get to explore some classy-looking new special text and graphics effects too.
If you ever need to manage lists of data, whether names and addresses or inventory lists, this is the lesson for you! Excel now calls lists tables. Today, you'll learn to create and modify tables using new Excel 2007 features, including calculated columns. You'll locate and sort data and then find out how to filter it to display only the information you need. Who knew creating spreadsheets could be so easy?
If you're looking forward to using PowerPoint 2007 to persuade people, this lesson is the place to start. We'll begin with a quick tour of the new PowerPoint interface. Then we'll create a text slide while we get oriented to the screen layout. Next, we'll apply slide layouts and use them to insert and modify graphics. It won't be long before you're using PowerPoint like a pro!
Have you ever wished you could polish your PowerPoint presentations to make them look ultra-professional? Well, you're in luck! It's formatting time again, and in today's lesson, you'll get to explore text and graphic formatting. Get ready to discover WordArt and SmartArt so you can tailor text for pretty much anything you need. Then it's time for some simple tricks with shadows and 3-D effects.
In our final PowerPoint lesson, we'll examine ways to make our slides distinctive with slide backgrounds. We'll discuss how to use clip art as a slide background and make custom and reusable slide backgrounds. Then we'll get into the really fun stuff--finding out where slide show transitions and animations live now and how to use them to our advantage.
The final Microsoft Office program we'll cover is Access 2007. We'll find our way around Access tabs by creating a database and entering a little data. At the same time, we'll discover how to navigate the Ribbon's tabs and meet database tables, forms, reports, and queries. The Access basics have never been easier.
Did you ever think you could make a database look nice? Well, today you're going to learn how to do just that. In this lesson, we'll focus on Access' new tools for formatting datasheets, forms, and reports. To start, we'll see how to perform basic worksheet sorting and filtering. Then we'll discover how the new Layout View and AutoFormats make it simple to manipulate our data so it can tell us more in less time. You're on your way to being an Access expert!
In our last lesson, we'll tackle queries, which help you pull important information out of databases. What does this mean? It means it's easier than ever to extract data when you need it. We'll also explore the powerful new Control Layouts. And finally, we'll see just how easy it is to transport data elsewhere; we'll export data to both PDF and Excel formats. Then, along with our data, we'll be on our way.

Yes, and usually the attendees come from far and wide for the opportunity. People who attend ProductCamp not only love product management and all its cousins but tend to be innovators and influencers themselves. They ooze great ideas and look forward to sharing them with others in their industry. These are typically people who have the real world experience to back up what they'll talk about. It's also a fun group of people so you're in for a good time!

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Australia's Olympic chef de mission Nick Green is "impressed" with his team's accommodation at the London Games, saying "the village is looking fantastic ... it's superb."
Green said Wednesday on his return from a fact-finding trip to London that Australia's location was one of the best in the village -- close to transport, dining hall, open space and away from "noise and distraction."
Green said, "We're very happy with what we've got -- there'll be room for a barbecue, which is an essential part of it."
The Olympics begin July 27 and end Aug. 12.

Just being honest, there was some thought to skipping Weekend Update this week. If only to see if anyone would notice. But ultimately we realized that this just wouldn't be fair to you, the Dear Readers, who already had to wait an extra day for your weekly pablum. If you want more of these down the stretch, though? The best thing you can do is tell your friends and neighbors. Remember, we're all in this thing together ...
Good-bye, Pennant Races!
Good-bye, St. Louis Cardinals. Good-bye, San Francisco Giants. Good-bye, Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox.
Entering the weekend, all four of those teams were at least entertaining notions -- some more realistic than others -- of getting back into the thick of pennant-race action.
But the Cardinals couldn't make up any ground against the Brewers, the Giants couldn't make up any ground against the Diamondbacks, and the White Sox and Indians ... well, the White Sox got swept by the Tigers, and last night Detroit kept their streak going with a 4-2 win over the Indians. The Cardinals are 10-1/2 games out of first place, the Giants seven out, the Indians 7-1/2 out and the White Sox eight.
Hello, American League West!
Ah, but there are six divisions in major League Baseball and all six of them do count.
Don't look now, but we've got a bit of a situation in the American League West. On the morning of August 18, the Orange County Angels found themselves seven games behind the Texas Rangers, and both teams seemed to have reached their places the old-fashioned way. But then the Angels ripped off a six-game winning streak that put them right back into contention, and the Rangers' current 2-1/2 games lead can hardly be considered safe. If they can just hold on for a couple of weeks, the Angels should have their fans whipped into a fevered pitch for a season-ending series against the Rangers, in Anaheim.
George Kottaras and Zach Stewart Become Household Names
Temporarily, anyway. In a few Upper Midwest households.
Saturday, Milwaukee's Kottaras became one of the very few backup catchers to hit for the cycle in major-league history (and the first of any stripe to accomplish the rare feat in 2011).
Monday, White Sox rookie Zach Stewart -- making just his eighth start in the majors -- took a perfect game into the eighth inning against the Twins. Danny Valencia led off the eighth with a single, but Stewart finished with a one-hit shutout, striking out nine Minnesotans.
(Also, Sunday afternoon Adrian Beltré became the youngest third baseman in major-league history to collect 2,000 hits. I found this worthy of note.)
Charlie Manuel Lodges a Protest!
Not that it's likely to do him much good. But yesterday the Phillies did file a formal protest, regarding Saturday's game in which Hunter Pence's apparently double was changed to an out, after the umpires looked at the video and determined that a couple of Phillies fans -- in Miami, no less -- had interfered with right fielder Bryan Petersen. It was the right call, but the Phillies will argue that the rules governing video review do not allow for interference to be called unless there's a question about a home run ... and apparently the Phillies are claiming there was never any suggestion that Pence hit a home run. I found the entire affair quite confusing, and can only hope that MLB clears up this mess. Because, you know, they're usually so good at clearing things up.

their picks
what to buy
For most people, the major factors in choosing a kitchen cutting board are their personal safety and the welfare of their cutlery. You want a cutting board that can be cleaned easily to prevent bacteria growth. You also want a cutting board that won't slide around the countertop while you attempt to use sharp instruments. Lastly, you want a cutting board that isn't so hard that it will destroy your knives.
The choice usually comes
down to wood versus plastic, and the major issue is which is more sanitary.
There is no consensus among experts. Proponents of wood almost always
point to the same expert, Dean O. Cliver, a microbiologist and professor
of food safety at the
We found the most sensible advice from Cook's Illustrated magazine, which argues that food safety depends more upon cleaning methods and the condition of the cutting board (smooth vs. scarred) than on the material itself. Brief but credible information on Good Housekeeping's website supports this assertion.
If you are skeptical about the safety of a wood (or plastic) cutting board, no amount of research and testing is likely to convince you otherwise. Danilo Alfaro, About.com's guide to culinary arts, for example, mocks Dean Cliver's assertion that wood cutting boards kill bacteria. But the About.com guide offers no proof to the contrary, either. And no matter what you believe, you easily can find an article online to support your viewpoint.
Our research suggests that the most important factors are:
both credentialed and self-appointed, disagree on cleaning methods.
Obviously, a wood cutting board cannot be cleaned in a dishwasher --
the wood will warp. (Some wood-laminate boards can be washed in a dishwasher,
however.) Many experts say hot, soapy water will do the job on any cutting
board, while others recommend white vinegar or a bleach solution. Cliver,
Here are the main points to consider when buying a cutting board:

Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day
To: President George W. Bush On February 14th, 2004, families and professionals across the country will join together to celebrate Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day. This day is set aside each year to honor families of children and adults with congenital heart defects and disease (CHDs) and the professionals who work with them, and to cherish the memory of lives lost. Currently, the issuance of proclamations for Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day is limited to local and state governments. While the participation of these officials is greatly appreciated, a Presidential Proclamation would make an unprecedented impact on raising awareness about CHDs. Raising national awareness about Congenital Heart Defects is important on many levels
