Effingham Daily News
The race for Effingham County coroner is a classic tussle between a candidate with an extensive law enforcement background and an opponent with a medical background.
Both Republican Duane Guffey and Democrat Tanya Overbeck have served as chief deputy coroner under retiring Coroner Leigh Hammer, who has chosen not to seek a third term. Guffey was the chief deputy for a number of years before resigning last year. He was replaced by Overbeck.
Guffey is a longtime Effingham police officer who also operates a family-owned dry cleaning business, while Overbeck is a nurse. Both candidates survived primary opposition in March to earn a slot on the general election ballot.
Tanya Overbeck
Tanya Overbeck said her medical experience makes her the best candidate for Effingham County coroner.
"The fact that I have medical experience sets me apart from my opponent," Overbeck said. "The stronger medical background one has, the better off we are."
Overbeck, who has a Bachelor of Science in nursing, said she knows the right medical questions to ask.
"I have a working knowledge of how to deal with the medical community," she said. "Decisions can be made within the office by interpreting medical documents. That way, we don't have to rely so much on consultants."
Overbeck, 37, said her medical experience will save taxpayer dollars.
"I can interpret medical records myself, rather than have somebody consult us on them," she said.
Overbeck said she would continue the improvements in record keeping that Hammer began. Now that the coroner has an office on the fourth floor of the Effingham County Office Building, Overbeck said the next step is a fully electronic record-keeping system.
Her other goals are to stay within her allotted budget and continue to maintain the level of professionalism in the coroner's office.
As Tanya Everett, Overbeck graduated from Effingham High School. She received her BSN from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. She has also completed a number of continuing education courses related to her work in the coroner's office. This year, she has completed about 80 hours of training for the coroner's office and another 20 hours to maintain her nursing license.
Overbeck is a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Effingham, as well as a member of the state and national coroners and medical examiners associations.
Overbeck and husband Joe have two children. The family lives in rural Mason.
Duane Guffey
Duane Guffey touts his many years of public service in his bid to become the next Effingham County coroner. It is that experience, he said, that sets him apart from opponent Tanya Overbeck.
"I believe my strongest points are my vast years of experience in public service," Guffey said. "That is something I can draw from."
Guffey, 56, has been involved in various forms of public service since he was a teenager. He started out as a part-time firefighter/EMT with the Effingham Fire Department nearly 40 years ago. For the past 29 years, he has been a part-time police officer in the City of Effingham.
Guffey said the most important issue facing the new coroner will be maintaining quality working relationships with all the various entities that work with the coroner's office.
"I want to make those relationships even better," he said.
Guffey said he'd like arrange locally-performed autopsies to limit time spent driving back and forth to Springfield or Champaign.
Other goals included maintaining the high level of professionalism in the office.
"I want to continue to see that we have quality staff to respond in a timely and professional manner," he said.
Guffey said he'd also like to maintain strong working relationships with law enforcement and medical entities.
"I want to work together with other entities to participate in public education and service to the citizens of the county," he said.
Guffey said one more goal he has is to use the chaplain service offered through Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS).
"I would like to plug these chaplains in during emergency situations," he said.
Guffey owns a family dry cleaning and tuxedo rental business in Effingham. In addition to his fire and police service, he also served as chief deputy coroner for 11 1/2 years before resigning that position last year.
Like his opponent, Guffey is an Effingham High School graduate. He has also completed fire extension courses at the University of Illinois and attended both Lake Land and Lincoln Trail colleges.
Guffey is a member of First Baptist Church of Altamont and Altamont Masonic Lodge 533.
Guffey and wife Marcia have two sons and four grandchildren. They live in rural Altamont.

The race for attorney general had a major upset with Republican challenger Patrick Morrisey beating longtime incumbent Democrat Darrell McGraw, according to unofficial election results.
The Associated Press called Morrisey as the winner at 12:45 a.m.
With 97 percent of precincts reporting, Morrisey pulled ahead of McGraw by approximately 13,000 votes.
It was a close race with Morrisey capturing 51 percent of the votes and McGraw receiving 49 percent.
Originally from New Jersey, Morrisey is a Harpers Ferry health care lawyer.
"With your help, West Virginia made a significant change tonight that was long overdue," Morrisey said in a statement. "I'm honored and humbled to have been chosen as your next attorney general, and promise that I will carry out the duties of that office in an honorable and effective manner."
"For too long, this state has been under attack from the Environmental Protection Agency and overreaching laws and regulations, such as Obamacare," Morrisey later added. "These Obama policies have harmed West Virginia. It's now time for West Virginia's Attorney General to fight back."
Morrisey congratulated McGraw for what he called a "spirited campaign."
"He has spent a long career in public service, and for that we should be grateful," he said, later adding, "We have a bold vision for what the office of attorney general can do to protect jobs and consumers in this state, improve West Virginia's business and legal climate and advance ethics reform. We will soon begin to execute that plan in a manner that will make West Virginia proud."
McGraw initially was elected in 1992 and is finishing his fifth term.
This isn't the first close election McGraw has faced. In 2008, McGraw beat Republican challenger Dan Greear with 50.39 percent of the votes.
In 2004, McGraw won against challenger Hiram Lewis by about 6,000 votes.
The 1996 and 1992 elections also were close with McGraw winning by 51.1 percent and 51.6 percent of the votes respectively.

On Tuesday, after the NBA has sued its players in order to either preemptively block decertification or, if you're feeling cynical, to dare the union into action, David Stern took to TV studio to talk to the nation about the NBA lockout. Consider how many times you've seen David Stern appear live on SportsCenter, and then determine whether the media 'blitz' was planned around the lawsuit. This was very obviously a coordinated effort to make the players look like jerks, something Stern has said (with a straight face) he didn't want to do.
In that SportsCenter talk, Stern addressed the "threat" of NBA players signing deals to play overseas during the lockout. As we mentioned on Wednesday, Stern said he was only worried that the deals would fracture the union. Here's the quote:
"It threatens to split the union because only the high-paying stars, only the superstars, will be able to get any significant number of dollars, and those dollars are so small compared to what they're leaving on the table in the U.S. that it just means they're going to be making a few more dollars than the non-superstars, and I think it's going to split the union."
Here is, to date, a full list of players under NBA contract who have reportedly signed deals to play overseas during the lockout, along with their 2011-12 NBA salary and team and the country in which they signed.
- Deron Williams ($16.3 million, Nets; Turkey)
- Nicolas Batum ($2.1 million, Blazers; France)
- Jordan Farmar ($4 million, Nets; Israel)
- David Andersen ($2.7 million, Hornets; Italy)
- Magnum Rolle ($973,000, Hawks; South Korea)
- Timofey Mozgov ($3.3 million, Nuggets; Russia)
- Ersan Ilyasova ($2.5 million, Bucks; Turkey)
(Thanks to Scott Schroeder and Mark Deeks for helping to flesh out that list. Just before this story was published, reports began to circulate that Trevor Booker, under contract to the Wizards for three more seasons and due $1.2 million in 2011-12, signed with an Israeli team.)
You have one star in Williams, one strong starter in Batum, three rotation players in Farmar, Mozgov and Ilyasova and two fringe NBA players in Rolle and Andersen. Seems like a pretty balanced crew to me. For every Kobe Bryant drawing attention, there are two Keyon Doolings. For every D-Will, there's a Farmar. If anything, the Euro process has been pretty equitable for stars and the mortal alike. Stern's concern trolling is, to date, completely off-base.
We'll see if it continues, or whether the stars will bring along their lower-spotlight buddies if exhibition tours get cranking. Maybe Stern will be proven right. Maybe someone like Dwight Howard will bitch to the media that the Timofey Mozgovs of the league are taking all the damn European jobs, leaving nothing for dudes like him. That seems more likely than what Stern is worried about as of now.
Remember: David Kahn wanted to replace Kurt Rambis with a coach more devoted to the fast break. To date, Kahn's interviews for the job have included Mike Woodson (who ran a slow team in Atlanta), Terry Porter (canned for putting the brakes on the post-D'Antoni Suns), Larry Brown (this can't be life) and Bernie Bickerstaff (relatively down-tempo in Charlotte). Now reports suggest Kahn will interview Sam Mitchell and, ahem, Mike Fratello.
Choosing to interview Brown was a serious belly laugh; the guy's a legend, but he's also allergic to up-tempo basketball and he's a complete GM-killer. He'd be able to teach the young Timberwolves a thing or two ... but the product on the court would be slow like Stanley Roberts running in quicksand.
I would have loved to see Bryan Colangelo's face when the Mitchell reports surfaced; Smith is a fine coach with obvious ties to 'Sota, but the last time his GM tried to foist an up-tempo system with up-tempo players on him, it didn't exactly work out. The Raptors' '100 Shots Or More' offense died faster than a laundromat in a nudist colony.
But Fratello? The Czar?!
Kahn should be forced to take field trips to Atlanta, Cleveland and Memphis and talk to fans who watched Fratello's teams play. Bless him; he was a fine coach and I like him as an analyst. But he's like a fuzzy facsimile of Brown. His offense is frozen molasses; he learned at the feet of slowmeister Hubie Brown, who never met a shot clock violation he didn't like.
Interview Brown? Fine, he's a legend. Interview Smitch? Fine, he has deep local ties. Interview Fratello? This must be performance art, for something is amiss. Maybe David Kahn isn't the clown prince of GMs ... maybe he's the James Franco.

Chaplin Star Rob McClure Will Join Tony Danza in Paper Mill's Broadway-Bound Musical Honeymoon in Vegas
By Andrew Gans
Rob McClure, who was critically acclaimed for his performance in the title role of the recent Broadway musical Chaplin, has joined the cast of Paper Mill Playhouse's Broadway-bound production of the new Jason Robert Brown musical Honeymoon in Vegas.
A spokesperson for the New Jersey venue told Playbill.com, "We are thrilled to have Rob McClure join the cast of Honeymoon in Vegas. Rob is an important part of the Paper Mill family having attended our summer musical theater conservatory, working on our staff, acting as a teacher, and winner of a rising star award and previously featured on our main stage."
As previously reported by Playbill.com, Honeymoon in Vegas, featuring music and lyrics by Brown (Parade, The Last Five Years, Songs for a New World) and a book by Andrew Bergman, who wrote and directed the film, will run Sept. 26-Oct. 27 at Paper Mill.
Tony Danza (The Producers, "Who's the Boss") will star as gambler Tommy Korman. Paper Mill has not announced creative duties, but an earlier Equity casting notice states that Gary Griffin (The Color Purple) will direct the new musical based on the 1992 film comedy film. The musical will have choreography by Denis Jones and musical direction by Tom Murray.
Here's how Paper Mill bills it: "This insanely funny musical tells the tale of Jack Singer (Rob McClure), a guy with an extraordinary fear of marriage, who finally overcomes his phobia and goes to Las Vegas to wed his long-time girlfriend Betsy. Enter Tommy Korman (Tony Danza), a widowed and unscrupulous gambler looking for another shot at love. Tommy spots Betsy, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife, and the game is afoot."
Subscriptions are now available at Papermill.org. Single tickets will go on sale in June.

Westco Growers Produce Bumper Dry Bean Crop
Despite having a severe drought, Nebraska dry edible bean crop turned out much better than anticipated. Westco General Manager David Briggs says this year's crop yielded better than average.
Historically, Western Cooperative growers produced on average 20 bag beans, which is the equivalent to 35 bushels per acre. Today 40 bushel beans or 24 bags to the acre is now the average. This year, Westco averaged 28 bags to the acre - across the board. Briggs says that's 15 - 20 percent higher than a average year.
Despite having a weak global economy, Westco's edible bean business did well in 2012. Briggs says half of their crop is shipped throughout the world.
Going into 2013, Briggs says the biggest concern remains the on-going drought. If the North Platte Valley watershed doesn't receive adequate snowpack, Briggs says that will cut productivity especially on those farmers that rely on surface water for irrigation. If the region receives only 30 to 40 days of water that will definitely hurt crop yields and in turn the local economy.

SOUTH TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A South Tucson police officer is on administrative leave after he shot a man.
Lt. Jeff Inorio says the patrol officer spotted a man carrying what looked like a shotgun Saturday. Inorio says the man ran off a short distance then turned toward the officer in a threatening manner.
Inorio says the officer shot the man multiple times. The man was taken to a Tucson hospital where he underwent surgery.
Inorio says authorities recovered a shotgun at the scene.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department is investigating the case.

••• very excited to be invited to two fave fests this spring — in two of my favorite hometowns (!!) :
Bewitching and intoxicating
—New Orleans Times Picayune
Fiercely talented, elegantly skewed
—Time Out, UK
Haunting melodies, intricate metaphors and subversive subplots, a complex underground legend.
—Bitch Magazine, USA
West coast–based, new orleans–schooled, gypsy–spirited, Myshkin makes moving, experimental music out of broad empathy, sharp imagery, hypnotic rhythms and an enigmatic, unforgettable voice. Her seventh record, Myshkin's Ruby Warblers' That Diamond Lust, was five years in the making, and worth the wait. Luminous and haunting, it's a dark and delicate work of revolutionary love songs, swaying in a folk-tronic dancing dress. Myshkin collected tracks—strings beats horns & waves—from favorite collaborators in Portland and New Orleans, then put them aside for a few years while hand-building an earth-walled studio and co-founding a permaculture art farm in the Pacific Northwest. There she looked them over with a wizened eye, and stitched them into something fresh and marvelous.
Satifsfying her urge for co-creation by working in various collaborative combos, Myshkin spent the fall touring the uk with Mat Martin and europe with Kirsty McGee, and is currently busy discovering the musical gems hiding out in her new home town of joshua tree, california. ( Listen to the BBC World on 3 session from Myshkin's last uk tour here )
September saw the release of a new single. Faithless, recorded with a favorite crew of players in an experimental session at piety street studios in new orleans during Myshkin's spring tour, is a sweet taste of things to come.

TORONTO -- It probably wasn't the highlight-reel win Matt Hamill imagined when he ended his retirement to return to the UFC, but after over one year away, the victory likely means more than the style it came in.
At UFC 152, Hamill resorted to his grinding style of takedowns and ground work, and made his way to a unanimous decision victory over Roger Hollett.
The judges scored it 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 in his favor.

Hamill set the tone for the fight early on when he took Hollett down in the first and launched a series of short punches that easily won him the round. It was his best extended action of the bout as both he and Hollett tired early on.
Hamill took him down once more in the second and twice in the third, ensuring the victory. Hollett never really threatened during the duration.
The crowd was not overly impressed with either, jeering at several junctures of the bout.
Still, it was Hamill's first victory since beating his former mentor Tito Ortiz back in October 2010. He's now 11-4.
Hollett, who was making his UFC debut, saw a personal five-fight win streak snapped with the defeat, dropping his career mark to 13-4.

Harvey Nash US revenue up 20%
Harvey Nash Group plc, a London-based provider of information technology staffing and services, reported U.S. revenue rose 20.0 percent to £45.6 million (US$71.8 million) in its fiscal year ended Jan. 31. The firm's U.S. operations are headquartered in Wayne, N.J.
The first half of the year was strong, buoyed up by improving economic indicators and a broad recovery in investment in technology, the company said. In the fourth quarter, however, demand for recruitment was affected by increasingly volatile business sentiment linked to political deadlock and fiscal cliff fears.
U.S. gross margin narrowed to 24.1 percent from 26.0 percent in the previous year.
Global revenue for Harvey Nash rose 11.6 percent to £594.7 million (US$937.6 million) in the fiscal year ended Jan. 31. Full-year gross margin narrowed to 13.9 percent from 14.7 percent. Profit for the year fell 5.5 percent to £5.6 million (US$8.9 million).

Elektron SidStation
"The SidStation is a MIDI-controlled synthesizer with real-time controllers. The heart of this synthesizer is the sound generating chip from the classic home computer Commodore 64. This sound chip, named SID (Sound Interface Device) was developed in the early eighties by Bob Yannes at MOS technology."
"The rediscovery of the SID-sound will be a pleasant surprise for many sound explorers that are looking for something more exiting than the current crop of analog imitating 'virtual' synthesizers."
Features of the SidStation synth module include a rotary wheel for easy data entry, an alpha-numeric 2x16 LCD display with back-lighting, audio input and output, 3 syncable oscillators with traditional (triangle, sawtooth, pulse) waveforms, nice resonant filters, arpeggiators, effects and ring modulation. The numeric keyboard and large knobs offer a unique form of hands-on desktop dance / techno music production for the 90's and beyond!

when you listen to a hardware sid compared to a software emulation you'll realize that soft emulations doesnt sound even close to the original
Also, nothing sounds as dirt and fat as a MOS 6581 sid chip, the other sids included in more recent hardware versions sound nive, but not as good as the 6581 IMO.

mash-upThe term mash-up refers to a new breed of Web-based applications created by hackers and programmers (typically on a volunteer basis) to mix at least two different services from disparate, and even competing, Web sites. A mash-up, for example, could overlay traffic data from one source on the Internet over maps from Yahoo, Microsoft, Google or any content provider. The term mash-up comes from the hip-hop music practice of mixing two or more songs.
This capability to mix and match data and applications from multiple sources into one dynamic entity is considered by many to represent the promise of the Web service standard (also referred to as on-demand computing).

Amy Goodman: In another major setback for the Justice Department, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 309-118 to overturn key provisions of the Act.
It marks the first time the House or Senate has rolled back portions of the controversial Act which was approved with little debate one month after the September 11 attacks. Last night's vote attached a provision to a $38 billion appropriations Bill that would block the Justice Department from using any funds to secretly search homes. Over the last two years the Justice Department had overseen 47 of the so-called sneak and peek searches. The House is also expected to vote this week to roll back another provision of the U.S.A. Patriot Act that allows the F.B.I. to secretly obtain detailed information on patrons, from libraries and bookstores.
Bernie Sanders: Thank you.
Amy Goodman: Let's start off with what happened last night? The significance of that roll back.
Bernie Sanders: It was a big deal. And it was a very big surprise. The fact that almost all Democrats voted for the provision, and over half the Republicans did, showed the Justice Department for the very first time since the U.S.A. Patriot Act was passed, that there is massive discontent with the anti-civil liberties provisions in that bill. I think it was a great victory. Unfortunately yesterday, because the deal was made between the Republicans and the Democrats on the floor of the house, a number of us were not able to offer amendments. The amendment I would have offered would have stopped the F.B.I. from going into libraries and bookstores with virtually no probable cause, to determine the reading habits of Americans. We're going to fight hard to get that provision put into place. If we can't do it in the house, we'll do it in the Senate. But yesterday's vote — by the way, I should tell you that the person who introduced that amendment was a conservative Republican — conservative Republican. So I am feeling much more optimistic today than I did yesterday that the U.S. Patriot Act is going to get a very, very hard look and hopefully we'll be able to take out some of the onerous provisions in it.
Amy Goodman: Now talk about the aspect of the legislation that you're taking on — the one that puts librarians in the cross hairs of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.
Bernie Sanders: That's quite right. Essentially, and I think many Americans don't know this: that under the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the F.B.I. can walk into a secret tribunal — secret judge, and basically say to the judge, we are doing an investigation on international terrorism. That's all they have to say. And, of course, they are. Having said that to judge, the judge is obliged to give them permission to walk into a library, walk into a bookstore, and find out the books you have taken out, or the books you have purchased. On top of that, the librarian or the bookstore owner may not tell you that you are under investigation. And this is clearly an outrage for a dozen different reasons, but many librarians all over this country are worrying about the chilling impact it has on people's reading habits. Is someone taking out a biography of Osama Bin Laden? Are you going to read a book on anarchy? Are you going to read books that might be controversial if you think the F.B.I. is going to know what is you are reading and that information will get out? So what I'm happy to say is we have the support of the American Librarians Association who have been very, very active on this issue. The book sellers all over
Amy Goodman: What does this mean for Bush since all of this has taken place in the context of the presidential campaign?-
Bernie Sanders: This is — remember, this particular amendment was brought by a fellow named Butch Otter of Idaho. What it should tell the Bush administration and Mr. Ashcroft, is that people all over this country, including a conservative United States congress say, you have gone much too far. Yes, we want to protect the American people from terrorism. That, in fact, is very important. But we can do that without undermining the basic constitutional rights of this country. So I feel better today than I did yesterday. We're going to work as hard as we can. Either through the Senate, or one way or another, through the Conference Committee to get the freedom to read legislation incorporated in there as well.
Amy Goodman: Congress member Sanders, I also want to talk about the F.C.C. and the new media ownership regulations. The New York Times reports today there's growing bipartisan support in congress to roll back Michael Powell's new rules that are expected to result in the greatest media consolidation in
Bernie Sanders: Well yesterday in the last — let me back it up and tell the listeners that right now, clearly one of the major concerns that many of us have who are worried about democracy in America, the diversity of opinion that a democratic society requires — the main concern is that we're seeing every year is fewer and fewer large multinational media conglomerates owning what we see, hear and read. It is a hugely significant problem. As a result of the decision by the F.C.C. on June 2, a green light was given out to these companies to override, to go beyond many rules that have been set in place for years, to actually increase in a significant way, media concentration in
Amy Goodman: Finally, Congress member Sanders, you have signed a letter asking Vice President Cheney 10 questions. You sit on the Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats, and International Relations. You're joined in that letter signing by Dennis Kucinich, who is the ranking minority member and congresswoman Carolyn Maloney of
Bernie Sanders: Well very briefly, I think a lot of Americans are deeply concerned about the Bush administration statements that got us into the war and the whole question of whether or not
Amy Goodman: Well, I want to thank you very much for being with us. Congress member Bernie Sanders of Vermont and an independent congressman. By the way, the 10 questions for Cheney. the letters that Congressman Sanders and others have signed can be found at tompaine.com.

I want to do an MBA of 1 year in a top level school. Although I prefer US, there are not many schools there with 1 year programme. My main focus is entrepreneurship and international trade (logistics).
I got accepted at ESADE, Hult and IE. IE has a strong focus on entrepreneurship and also an interesting combined programme with logistics at MIT. However, I haven't met anyone yet who did this combined programme. As for Hult, there big advantage is the international rotation programme, where you can go to China, and the fact that they are located in San Francisco, a dynamic environment for entrepreneurship (VC/ start-ups). As for ESADE, they have a strong focus on entrepreneurship as well, and a strong personalized approach although it is not clear how many alumni go and start their own business in the end.
Can somebody give me some more info?

EntrepreneurshipFirst off, congrats! Those are 3 great choices. It sounds like each have their distinct advantages. A few thoughts:
Wed May 11, 2011 08:31 PM
IE: Sounds like this might be your best bet. Prestigious school and that MIT partnership would be icing on the cake. Wondering only if Madrid is a good environment for start-ups especially right now. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
Hult: Another strong option. I'm not sure how entrenched Hult is in the Bay Area yet - it's only been there a year or so, I think.
ESADE: Why don't you ask the school for the exact % of people who do go start businesses? I think this figure generally tends to be lower than one would expect - even at entrepreneurship-focused b schools. Entrepreneurship and E&I definitely also has relevance and value for people who still want to work in companies.

Forget that hologram at the Billboard Awards. This is a better shout out to Michael Jackson.
And it comes from 17-year-old Brett Nichols who was a total "thriller" during his high school talent show in California.
He's been a Jackson fan since he was 3 years old and taught himself all of Jackson's best moves, including the moonwalk.
Of course, he won the talent show. He said he wants to make film directing his career.
Here's the original YouTube upload. His dance begins around 1:10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZTCtpZyulM

Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown wrote a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday, asking him to reconsider the league's blackout policy. He wrote that the blackout policies — which require home games to be blacked out in local TV markets if it is not sold out 72 hours prior to kickoff — could, "deny Ohioans the opportunity to watch these games."
Brown referenced the average price of an NFL game ticket, $77, and how it is nearly 10 times the hourly minimum wage and that attending a football game is, "simply cost prohibitive for too many Ohioans."
The NFL blacked out 22 games in 2009, a 144 percent increase from the previous season.
"It is deeply troubling that increasing blackouts could deprive families and friends the tradition of watching their beloved Cleveland Browns or Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoons. I ask the NFL to examine its current television blackout policies…," Brown wrote.

text: KHQ.COM - After falling off a chairlift at Mt. Spokane, a 10-year-old boy is lucky because it look like he only suffered minor injuries. Around 11am Thursday morning the Mt. Spokane Ski Patrol responded to a boy who fell about 20 feet off of chair 3. He fell into the snow and immediately stood up. A witness who saw the fall told the boy to lay down. Ski Patrol put him on a tobaggon and Medstar flew him out to get him off the mountain. It did not appear that the boy sustained any major injuries although he did complain of back pain. It is not exactly clear what caused the boy to fall. Winds were calm at the time so it's possible that he was not seated properly. Brad McQuarrie, general manager of Mt. Spokane said that in the 12 years he has worked there, he can only remember two times that people have fallen from chairs. The loss control manager will be conducting an investigation with state inspectors.

Police say a man accused of robbing a bank is dead after he hung himself in the Birmingham City Jail last week.
James Horton, 54, was arrested for robbing the PNC Bank on First Avenue on November 5. He was captured after a citizen and security guard stopped and detained him outside the bank building.
Police say the next morning around 7:30 a.m., a jail detention officer found Horton hanging in his jail cell. He was given CPR and treatment from Birmingham Fire and Rescue crews. According to police, Horton was breathing on his own before being taken to Cooper Green Mercy Hospital. He died in the hospital four days later on Saturday, November 10.
The Birmingham Police Department's Internal Affairs unit and the ABI are investigating Horton's death.

Industrious lawmakers introduced about 60 bills related to energy in the first two days of the 2013 regular West Virginia legislative session.
Fully 24 of them have to do with natural gas.
A bill introduced by Sen. Sam Cann, D-Harrison, takes another go at establishing a center for shale research at West Virginia University, and one introduced by Delegate Michael Ferro, D-Marshall, would divert a portion of oil and gas severance tax receipts to maintaining infrastructure in shale gas–producing counties.
The other 22 of those were introduced by Delegate Mike Manypenny, D-Taylor.
Manypenny's bills span issues of bonding, health effects, contamination of water and air, surface and mineral owner rights, zoning, injection-induced seismic activity, public availability of information about wells, well setbacks, landman credentials and more.
Sixteen of the bills address a broad range of coal-related issues.
Four introduced or supported by Delegate Mike Caputo, D-Marion, relate primarily to safety. Delegate Doug Skaff, D-Kanawha, introduced two bills that would ensure expeditious permitting and elevate the image of coal. Delegate Kevin Craig, D-Cabell, brought bills promoting drug-free mines and considering the penalty to be assessed on operators who fail to report mine accidents in a timely way. Manypenny was busy here, too, with bills regarding surface impoundments and underground injection of slurry.
The remaining 20 or so bills cover a range of other issues. Many would promote alternative and renewable sources of electricity, distributed generation and energy efficiency; some others would offer surface owners first refusal when underlying mineral rights become available and would closely monitor legal challenges to the energy-related extraction of natural resources in the state, submitting analysis of the cost of litigation to the governor and Legislature every 60 days.
Manypenny was active with this set of bills too, introducing or supporting nine of them; Delegate Barbara Fleischauer, D-Monongalia, had a hand in eight.

More than 90 area students designed and presented their own robotic creations Saturday during the TCEA Area 16 Robotics Competition.
The 26 teams of students from 4th to 12th grades created their own robot and programmed it to perform a specific task. Their creations, which took six weeks to build, were judged and the top two teams in each event will go on to the state robotics contest in April. Organizers say it's a perfect combination of education and fun.
"The best thing about the robotics contest is it ties in the science, technology, engineering and math and it ties in with what we're doing in school.," said Debbie Boyer, TCEA Area 16 Director. "It's just a really team building activity with collaboration, communication and teamwork all put together."
TCEA is a member-based state-wide organization devoted to the use of technology in education.

God pleaded with his people through miracles and prophetic messages to choose him. Time and again, they pushed Him aside.
The world was especially dark right before Christ's birth. God had not spoken to His people through the prophets in 400 years.
While the Jews were oppressed by the rulers of the Roman Empire, God seemed silent.
Where was the Messiah He had promised? Into the darkness, the Savior descended.
His earthly father was a simple carpenter. Joseph was a man of honor, a man of faith but not a man of wealth.
Mary, probably a teenager, was asked to give birth to a Son who would never really be her own. She could hold him, love him and for a time she could raise him, but one day he would leave her to complete His Father's plan.
When God was finally born on earth, He did not appear in Jerusalem where priests and Pharisees could have witnessed His birth.
Stable animals became the audience for His birth because His children, the ones He came to die for, left his parents out in the cold.
The first to hear the Good News were shepherds keeping watch over their flock.
Jesus later said, "I am the good shepherd and know my sheep and am known of mine."
His birth was an announcement to all of us that He knows who we are. He created us, He watched over us and He left heaven to live among us so we can know Him too.
It is an amazing message, and the first to hear it were simple shepherds.
Fear not, the angels said. Fear not death. Fear not pain. Fear not the shackles of sin.
For too long, God's people have been afraid. Now let the message go forth to all people — fear not for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
Glory to God in the highest for making Himself known to sinful men through a holy child.
For centuries, man has walked in darkness but no more. The Light has come and with Him peace and goodwill toward men.
Listen closely to the words of the angels, and you will find that at no point were the shepherds commanded to go to Bethlehem and seek their Savior.
God does not order us to seek Him. We are not even required to love Him.
What the shepherds were told was that Christ had been born. They were given a sign so they could find Him if they chose to make the journey.
The shepherds found him exactly as the angels had said, a baby lying in a manger.
God has revealed Himself to us throughout time. He is there in His word. He is here in spirit because His word became flesh and dwelt among us.
Like the shepherds, we are not commanded to seek Him. However, we are promised "seek and ye shall find."
Sinful men who seek God will find a Savior. Sick men who seek God will find a healer. Lost men who seek God will find the way, the truth and the life.
Dying men who seek God will find the One who holds the keys of hell and death.
All those who truly seek God will discover that He can be found.
John said of Jesus, "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."
In a dark world, the Light is always shining because of one birth in Bethlehem.

Students at Shivela Middle School recently came out on top of an online national math contest.
A team of 41 Shivela sixth-grade pre-algebra students, along with other Murrieta schools and classes, competed in the two-day American Math Challenge Oct. 16-17.
Students had to try out for a spot on the Shivela team, according to teacher Jack Mitchell, who teaches seventh-grade math at the school as well as three sixth-grade advanced math classes.
Mitchell's students participated in the contest for several years when he taught at Rail Ranch Elementary, also in Murrieta. When he transferred to Shivela this year, he said several of his repeat students expressed a desire to take on the contest as middle school students.
The first day of competition entailed logging into the contest site to answer 1,500 grade-level math questions. Some of the students worked until 9 p.m. in the school's computer lab in order to finish, Mitchell told Patch.
The second day, students participated in math games while trying to answer them as quickly as possibly.
The team from Shivela Middle placed first overall in the primary division (K-6 schools) across the nation, according to preliminary results. Individual classrooms also competed; Shivela finished second and third in that category.
Additionally, 14 Shivela students finished in the top 100 among individual rankings, Mitchell said.
Of other district campuses that competed in the contest, Antelope Hills Elementary finished in third among schools and eighth among classes, while Rail Ranch Elementary classrooms finished fourth and tenth places.
"MVUSD dominated the competition as MVUSD took five of the six available trophies," Mitchell said.
The prize for winning is that the Human Calculator , Scott Flansburg, will visit Shivela Middle sometime in the next few weeks for an assembly, Mitchell said.
Shivela will also be receiving three trophies for the school and class placements, he said.
Mitchell said there are also plans are in the works to compete again in another online contest offered through the company, the World Education Games, which will be held in March 2013.

Appearance Nice, semi-thick brown color with a decent head that laced well on the glass.
Smell Initially, a whiff of Sweet-Tarts hits the nose. This is followed by a deeper malt flavor and strong sourness, again like candy.
Taste The candy flavors kick in more on the tongue. The sourness comes in towards the end (true lemon, not the cheap kind), but the tart flavors are the highlight of this show. The malt is there but drowned out.
Mouthfeel Theres some light carbonation to be had, but mostly this puckers the mouth and kicks the salivary glands into high gear.
Drinkability This is great to drink on an empty stomach. The smallish bottle reflects the sipping nature of this brew. A nice example.

Purchased sometime in 2013 - want to say spring- making this nearly a year in the cellar
APP-deep maple, clear, low off-white head with fair retention and poor lace.
AROMA- complex, vinous nose of hey, red grape, blackcurrant, cranberry, earth, coacoa, grapefruit, dark caramel, rhubarb, anise, melon, ...and on and on....sounds messy but very harmonious and pleasant bouquet that leaps from the glass. Wonderful.
FLAVOR- much simpler than aroma as expected. lightly sweet crystal malt sliced apart by very bright and lively acidity (lactic?) rhubarb and citrus (over-ripe /spoiled grapefruit) come out prominently, a hint of tart cherry, notes of fig, tuna fruit, earth, cranberry, clover, no diacetyl, no apparent oxidation, no tannin or oaky character,
MF- light-bodied, velvety, medium-high carbonation, drying acidity that stings the lips a bit, and makes for a long finish not helped out by a light clinging bitterness
OVERALL- A disarmingly spritely oud bruin, that is lighter, more quenching and refreshing than richer examples. I get the impression that this is either a very young beer or chemically synthesized lactic acid has been introduced. It lacks the charisma of better examples but still makes for an interesting glass and at 5.5 abv this would be great bottle to bring out to parties, picnics, etc... would revisit this but would not pay much for it. Just read on the label that it is actually a blend of brune and lambic, which explains a lot, and makes me appreciate it a little more. Odd product.

Recommended to me by the shopkeep at Healthy Spirits in San Francisco. Upon tasting I realized that I had this at on tap at another bar once before. Poured into a flute.
A - Dark red-brown. Even hard to see through when held up to light. A thick creamy head of light caramel color.
S - MMMmm smells delicious. Much like any darker sour. Slight metalic/brass smell to it, but that is hidden behind unripened cherries, and unripened apples.
T - Unlike some beers that overdo the sour, this one actually tastes like a beer. This is unmistakably a brown ale with sour properties. Almost like a fruity New Castle... but better. Cherries, slight earthiness, and a tang that makes it just sour enough.
M - The head is nice and creamy. Makes your tongue curl just enough for a sour. Slightly thick, but not overly thick.
O - A solid sour. I would recommend this to just about anyone that appreciates a high-quality sour. I really want to give this one another shot. I am tasting it as I write this review, and I can tell that my opinion of it may change with my mood or state of my palate.

Presentation: Slender 8oz brown bottle with a freshness date stamped on the label.
Appearance: Hazy reddish brown with a thin whispy tan lace.
Smell: Mild yet even tartness, very vague aroma.
Taste: Smooth semi creamy mouth feel, a clash of carob and tartness. Lemon and grainy smith apples come to mind with a toasted bread flavour. Dark raisin fruitiness. Tartness is snappish with the grainy following, hops are nonexistent and should be that way for this style. Dark candy sugar and tart finish though gets dryer and dryer as a husky grain puckers the mouth.
Notes: A happy brew in my mouth, back and forth complexities of tartness and carob or dark malt. Pleasing to the palate and refreshed my mind.

11.2oz bottle poured into a tulip.
A: Looks like a lively one! A mountainous off-white head atop a rusty deep brown body.
S: Heavy fruity esters. Some oak barrel. Caramel and dark fruit.
T: Delicious. Acetic tart cherry. Some earthy oak. Each sip takes a long time to develop.
M: Very smooth and refreshing to start with some wonderful biting tartness in the finish. Medium body and carb is just right.
O: I love how this tastes but it's the mouthfeel that dominates. I enjoyed this a ton.

Date marked 12/20 (20/12) /02...very dark browm, chill hazes the glass, looks to be sedimented. Small head down to spider tracks in 40 seconds, laces in small spots. Black strap mollases aroma, backed by a farm fresh mustiness. Light and citric tart, the flavors come across to me as a cross between a Manhatten and soy sauce. Finsihes relatively dry for a beer this dark, could be a sense of black cherry and with some overbearing phenolics. I can't say this is a favorite, low carbonation to counter the tartness and a slightly unpleasant malt.

Dark cherry hued brown body with a light tan head, fine bubled lacing with speckled patterns left on my chalice. Aroma has tart cherries hints of tart sliced apples. Earthy note with lactic yogurt, hints of dark roasted malts. Flavor will satisfy your sour ale side with tart cherries, sliced green apples, hints of yogurt and dark roasted malts. Excellent version of a classic style, I've never heard of the brewer the label is a bit generic but the beer is high quality Bellegems bruin West Flanders Ale. Mouthfeel has a dry finish with fruity balance to make everybody happy, even sturdy flowing carbonation a bit effervescent and bubbly like. Overall high drinkable and enjoyable version of a hard to find style, glad I picked it up definitely worth it at around 4 bucks a bottle.

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours a dense clear garnet red glowing body with a spotty oatmeal cream head that sticks to the glass with each sip.
S- The soft tartness has a faint cherry quality with a faint barnyard and cola quality mixed in. There is a wet wood aroma to finish.
T- The warming tartness has some soft blend of malt and old wet wood adding a faint cheese rind hint to it and the finish is a faint aged cherry note that lingers for a moment.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel has a tight fizz in the finish and grows as the beer warms.
O- This beer is a nice classic flanders red with some soft depth of other flavors, like a nice blended brown malt and a good amount of tartness.

11.2 oz bottle poured into a snifter.
A: Pours a clear ruby with a 1.5 finger off white head. A good amount of visible carbonation. Leaves some nice lacing on the sides of the glass.
S: Great tart aroma with some fruit and funkiness. Fruit comes through as cherry. Nice yeasty
T: Light cherry taste with a sour background. I enjoy the funkiness in this one. Lasting fruit taste.
M: Light to medium body with fairly low carbonation. Very drinkable
Overall a very sessionable flanders that I wish I could have every day. Doesn't blow you away but is still a good representation of the style.

Very deep red pour and head is brief retreating to the edge leaving wispy clouds in the center.
Aroma mainly of tart cherries.
Taste is cherry and mildly sour.
Mouthfeel is spritzy throughout. Clean and refreshing.
Really not much to say except this is really good. Oud Bruins, for me, always seem classy and sophisticated and this fits the bill. Not very tart or sour if you will. Easy drinker.

Carl Elliott was elected to Congress in 1948, the same year that Southern Democrats rebelled against President Harry Truman and their own party over segregation and states' rights.
Elliott soon found himself caught between his own convictions and the political climate into which he had been chosen to serve.
Mary Jolley, his longtime assistant, recalls a visit they made to the Walker County Training School to discuss a number of improvements in the 7th district, which Elliott represented for 16 years.
"He said, 'Their eyes were saying, 'You're not talking about life where I live. You're on another planet.'' Big, strong man that he was, I thought he was going to cry right there," Jolley said.
However, Elliott voted with his fellow Southerners against civil rights legislation.
He was convinced that if he was caught on the wrong side of the issue, voters would replace him with a reactionary who would vote not only against civil rights but also education, public housing and other initiatives he supported.
"He voted for every piece of what was considered liberal legislation. He voted for everything else all around it (civil rights), anything that he could do to help the advancement of poor people," said Lenora Cannon, Elliott's daughter.
Jolley said Elliott also might have been biding his time in hopes that the mood of conservative Southerners would change. However, she saw for herself how difficult that would be on a visit to a Winston County convenience store.
"He (a clerk) gave me some scorching, George Wallace rhetoric about black people. I left there thinking, 'That man goes day in and day out and never sees a black face. What does he know about black folks? But boy, he didn't like them. That's what he [Elliott] was up against," Jolley said.
In the 1964 Congressional campaign, Elliott again stood solidly with the national Democratic party and federal programs in spite of growing anti-Washington sentiment in the state.
The election of George Wallace as governor two years earlier and the rise of groups like the White Citizens' Council also meant Elliott could no longer keep quiet.
In 1963, Elliott made national news when he referred to the right-wing John Birch Society as "loud-mouthed know-nothings whom Thomas Jefferson would have dismissed as intellectual nitwits and whom Jackson probably would have horsewhipped."
Nearly 30 years later, Elliott showed no remorse for such remarks while compiling his memoirs.
"I'm proud of most of the things I did that hurt me politically — and I'm sorriest about some of the things I did that were supposed to help," he wrote.
In fact, Elliott's votes against civil rights had not provided him with political cover as he had believed.
Two years after the campaign, Elliott wrote in a personal letter about a cool reception he had received in Eldridge following a stump speech.
"A number of people....refused to shake hands with me on the ground that they did not want to shake the hand that signed the civil rights bill of 1964," he said.
In the May 1964 district primary, Elliott beat state Rep. Tom Bevill by more than 2,000 votes. However, he still had to win a statewide race referred to as "low man out."
Alabama had lost one of its nine congressional districts because of a population decline revealed in the 1960 census.
Due to inaction in the Alabama legislature, the nine Democrats elected in the district primaries had to face off in a statewide primary. Only the top eight advanced to the general election.
Although the plan had already been ruled unconstitutional, the court permitted its use in 1964.
When the votes came in on June 1, 1964, Elliott was the low man out.
The Daily Mountain Eagle reported that he had "apparently been victimized by his 'Southern liberal attitudes,'" and "was defeated by an unconstitutional nominating system."
The paper also assigned blame to a conservative group that went on the offensive in the last days of the campaign.
"The group, using the 'stand up for Alabama' slogan popularized by Gov. George Wallace, flooded the state with 'sample ballots' just before the run-off which left off Elliott's name," the paper wrote.
Elliott was 6,000 votes short in the statewide race and did not win a single county in his own 7th District. He ran fifth in Winston County and eighth in all other counties in the district, including Walker.
In a front page editorial, the Eagle wrote, "It was not Elliott who lost in Tuesday's election...it was those progressive minded individuals of Jasper, Walker County and the 'Old 7th Congressional District.' It was all the people who voted for him and saw their hopes shattered and it was the foolish, benighted individuals who did not vote for him and who ruined our chances for a place in the sun."
Undeterred by the loss or $20,000 in campaign debts, Elliott announced his candidacy for governor in October 1965.
He would later refer to the race as "a campaign the likes of which my state and this nation had never seen before and I pray will never see again."
Elliott's stump speeches were disrupted by bomb threats. His campaign workers were driven off the roads. His billboards were defaced with the words "Never! Never! Never!"
"It was scary. People were driving down the highways taking potshots at his picture. So we knew people were very angry," said Jean Williams, one of Elliott's secretaries during the campaign.
Wallace's wife, Lurleen, easily won the race, beating 10 other candidates without a runoff.
Elliott finished third and with more than $500,000 in debt. In the final week, he cashed in his Congressional pension to help pay for 30 minutes of TV time after several important backers reneged on their offers.
Defeat was certain before the first vote had been cast.
"There came a time in that campaign when he said, 'It's lost. We're not going to win, but I'm not going to quit. I don't want anybody to run me out of my race. People have followed me and have tried to help. I'm going to stick with it,'" Jolley said.
In his autobiography, "The Cost of Courage," Elliott referred to the 1966 campaign as "the last time a man seriously stood up to George Wallace in this state, and I paid for it."
In the years to come, Elliott lost his house, his health, his reputation, his wife and his two sons.
In his memoirs, published in 1992, Elliott noted that he had been rereading the book of Job in what would be the final years of his life.
"The Cost of Courage" opens with two quotations. One is from the fifth chapter of Job: "...therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty. For he wounds, but he binds up; he smites, but his hands heal."
The other is from Elliott's contemporary, John Fitzgerald Kennedy: "And when at some future date the hight court of history sits in judgment of each one of us — recording whether in our brief span of service we fulfilled our responsibilities to the State — our success or failure in whatever office we may hold will be measured by the answers to four questions. Were we truly men of courage? Were we truly men of judgment? Were we truly men of integrity. Were we truly men of dedication?"

Hey kids, it's story time!
Personal growth can be quite a challenge. Not because we don't know what to do, but because our dramatic stories get in the way.
Man... human beings are great story tellers! We tell stories about our relationships, work, finances, kids, and yes, even our health.
You know the stories I'm talking about, right? I'm talking about the long and dramatic stories that deserve the presence of a double-wide violin in the background. These are stories that put us in victim mode and leave us feeling that we're stuck with the same shit on a different day.
The thing about stories is that they are only real if you buy into them. Which actually makes them very simple to change. And, in fact, the first and only step to changing your story is to recognize that it is just that - a story and not reality. Once you've recognized your story is just a story, it doesn't take much to get enough momentum to change it around. Like I said, it's not that we don't know what to do, it's just that our stories get in the way.
There's nothing like taking the weight of a damaging story and turning it into fuel that eventually leads to action. The power that you get knowing that your happiness is always a choice is huge. But, like any thing, it takes practice.
Try taking an aspect of your life where you're feeling any of the following:
- Fear
- Anxiety
- Worry
- Doubt
- Anger
Now ask yourself: Could you have possibly sold yourself on the wrong version of the story? Are you sure the way that you have things figured out is really how they are?
Reality vs Story
Sure there are times when reality is tough. You may have cancer or only $50 in your bank account or a close friend who just passed away. I'm not suggesting that that those things are a story. Rather, the story is what surrounds them. The thoughts that constantly run around in your minds about what those things mean.
The great thing about noticing that you're living a certain aspect of your life through the eyes of a damaging story, is that the sooner you recognize it, the sooner you can transform it. The problem with stories are that they tend to prevent the story teller from seeing reality. The tendency is that stories often play "bait and switch" with the mind and make you feel that one aspect of your life is a problem when the truth is that it is something else.
Yes, pulling yourself out of a story is tough sometimes, (especially because it is a daily practice), but once you do it you can only feel:
- Unconditional Love
- Joy
- Appreciation / Gratitude
- Enthusiasm
- and Acceptance
Make a list of the major relationships and aspects of your life. Chances are that if you are not feeling one of the feelings above, then you've probably sold yourself on one hot story.

This might be the best I the three books...but the writing still feels forced and lacking.
This book ended as I expected it to. Which can sometimes be bad, but in this case was good. I like a happy ending now and then. It was definately a page-turner. I wanted to know how things worked out for each of the main characters. Although, there was some tragedy, which is to be expected, I am happy to say things worked out as they were meant to. I can't say much else without spoiling the book for others.
After having a major disappointment from another trilogy ending, I was pleasantly surprised by Reached, the last of the Matched trilogy. After an underwhelming 2nd book, I was nervous, but Condie delivered the goods. The stakes are higher, lives are threatened, secrets are revealed, all that a trilogy should be. I had closure, but not everything is wrapped up too neatly because that would be too unbelievable for a dystopian. I just wish I could remember more details from the other two books. That is my only qualm with trilogies and series, the waiting between books really tests my memory. Anyways, if you like dystopian, romance inspired novels, read this trilogy.
Good closure, but I was kind of underwhelmed. I was hoping for more payoff after the excitement of book 1. All the questions get answered, but things are not as action-packed as I'd expected.

Liverpool-based ADLIB Audio has spent £250K on revamping and expanding its warehouse, including the addition of a new mezzanine floor, which enlarges the current working space by 500 square metres. "This has enabled us to make massive improvements to the layout, efficiency and functionality of the building" explains ADLIB's managing director Andy Dockerty.
Business has been so robust for ADLIB over the last two years that the company now has over 50 full time employees at the Speke premises. It was either a case of buying a new building and going through all the associated disruption of moving, or seeing how they could practically maximise the existing space. A decision was made to develop of the existing site — for less interruption to the workflow — and because it also made them think inventively about the design and utilization of the environment.
More office space has been created as a result for sales hire and administration and there's also room to accommodate future additions to the workforce. The maintenance area has been increased and re-arranged. The storage areas have also grown and been moved to allow easier access to the loading bays.
The preparation areas has also increased in surface area with the addition of at least 50 per cent more space upstairs, offering a vastly improved pre-production facility for different elements of both lighting and sound departments.
The joinery shop — which makes all of ADLIB's flightcases among other things — has been moved to a completely separate building in a simultaneous expansion. This means that all of ADLIB's manufacturing operations, including that of loudspeaker cabinets, are concentrated in the same building, and all the rental, hire, and sales operations in the other.
The flightcase-making operation now has its own completely separate manufacturing plant with new machinery. Recent clients include The Prodigy, Lilly Allen, Texas and the Scissor Sisters, and their workload is constantly growing as other people become aware of ADLIB's capabilities in this area.
ADLIB's growing lighting department has now been moved from the far side of the complex into the main warehouse. "This will be particularly useful for when we are supplying package deals of both sound and lighting – it makes sense that the two departments become more integrated and work together from the offset," says Dockerty.
