A downtown Napa address that was made notorious by a rape-murder in the 1970s was reportedly the scene of another assault on a woman over the weekend:
Nickolas Robert Thurston, 24, was jailed Saturday after he allegedly assaulted a woman, pulling her off a barstool and onto the floor before dragging her out of Fagiani's on Main Street, according to an arrest summary from the City of Napa Police Department:
On 12-8-2012 at about 2120hrs officers observed a verbal fight in the 800 block of Main Street. Thurston was contacted. He was with the victim who he has been dating for several months. Thurston had walked up to the victim sitting on a bar stool at Fagiani's. He pulled her off of the stool, onto the ground and dragged her out of the restaurant. The victim did not sustain any injuries.
Thurston was booked at the Napa County Department of Corrections on suspicion of domestic battery and false imprisonment, police said.

Before he was a Bird, Oliver Craven played ball.
"I can actually see, right now, the bleachers where people used to sit and watch the Ephrata High School football team play," Craven said during a recent phone interview with The Goshen News. He was stopped at a traffic light in Lancaster County, Pa., looking out at the field where he was once one of the players.
"I still have a couple of dreams about it every year," Craven said of football. "It was a big part of my life. I loved it."
After high school, though, Craven decided to move on. Music helped set the course.
Craven's performance resume includes two years as harmony vocalist, fiddler and guitar player for Grammy-nominated artist Adrienne Young. He also spent a year with Virginia-based The Steel Wheels, an Americana group no stranger to Goshen gigs.
And now The Stray Birds — Craven's current group that also includes Maya de Vitry and Charles Muench — is coming to town. The band is set to perform tonight at Ignition Garage, 120 E. Washington St.
Getting started
Craven's musical education began early. He started taking violin lessons on May 2, 1990, his fifth birthday.
"I had a lesson every week, and for the first five, six, seven years of that, my mom was really determined to have me practice every day," Craven said. "And I hated it and I wanted to quit."
The young Craven was told he'd be allowed to quit after he finished Book 1 of his lessons.
"That came and went," he said, "and it was probably about five years before I enjoyed being in the school orchestra and started to play music other than classical music on the violin."
Craven's mom and dad are musically inclined as well, and as a unit they performed folk, country and bluegrass music as The Craven Family Band.
"It is forever a part of me, sort of helped make me the musician I am today," Craven said, recalling that the family played what they called the "pot pie circuit."
"My dad is a Lutheran minister," Craven said. "We'd go to nursing homes, or church events where they'd feed you. As a young boy I particularly favored the mother-daughter banquets, for readily apparent reasons."
Craven said playing music with his parents was a big part of his childhood. Music — now with The Stray Birds combo — is key to Craven's life as a grown-up, too.
Birds gather
The Birds began to gel while Craven and bassist Muench were in a bluegrass band called River Wheel.
"Maya went to high school with Charlie, and she just happened to be around while we were making this record in Lancaster," Craven said. "I think it was one of those nights after River Wheel got done recording, Maya and I were hanging out and we just sang a few songs together."
Craven said he knew there was a "serious and worthy" musical connection between he and de Vitry.
A studio session in 2010 resulted in The Stray Birds' "Borderland" EP. The group's self-titled full-length album was released in July 2012. NPR declared that effort to be one of the Top 10 folk and Americana albums of 2012.
That sort of acclaim is fine by the Birds.
"It feels really great," Craven said. "We work hard. I mean, we've all been performers before this band, but it's not always the easiest thing to just come up with something that's a reflection of yourself or the way that you feel and throw it to the general public.
"It's nice when you work on something and you feel good enough about it that you're going to release it, and people welcome it with open arms and are eager to hear more. We're enthralled with the fact that people have been as supportive of us as they have."
If you want to go
Showtime is 8:15 p.m. tonight for The Stray Birds concert at Ignition Garage, 120 E. Washington St., Goshen. Tickets cost $15 and are available online at www.ignitionmusic.net. Tickets are also available at Better World Books, 118 E. Washington St., or by phone at 574-534-1984.

An eight-hour police standoff with a barricaded man on Tucson's east side ended peacefully when the man gave up.
Tucson Police and U.S. Marshals were in communication with the man in a home in the 5800 block of East Waverly Street since 8:30 a.m.
Police say the man faces multiple charges in connection with robberies in Pima County.
Police say the man was armed with a handgun.
Neighbors were asked to remain indoors throughout the standoff so as not to interfere with the situation.

Mayor Thomas Menino endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren for United States Senate during a pro-Warren rally in Roslindale on Friday.
Menino, a Democrat, said he did not endorse Warren right away because he "wanted to get to know her" first. And he came to his final decision by pretending he wasn't the mayor, he said.
"What if I was just a guy from Hyde Park who had a job with the city, whose wife was an accountant and worried about their retirement savings," he said. "What if I was any guy who wondered how his two kids would send his six grandkids to college, and whether they would have good jobs on the other end. If I wasn't the Mayor, who would speak up in Washington on my behalf? I thought to myself, if I was any guy from Hyde Park, Elizabeth would have my back, and so I have hers," he said.
Warren told supporters she was "deeply honored" by Menino's support.
"Tom Menino has long been one of the most powerful voices for working families here in the Commonwealth and throughout the country," she said. "Throughout all of the amazing achievements of his career, he has never lost sight of where he came from - the neighborhoods of Boston. His tireless advocacy has helped revitalize Boston's neighborhoods, create a vibrant city, and strengthen our schools so that our kids and families have a fair shot at success and the American dream. I am proud to stand with Mayor Menino and I look forward to working together on this campaign and in our efforts to fight for a level playing field for hardworking men and women here in Boston and across Massachusetts."
Warren is facing incumbent Senator Scott Brown in a tight race that has seen multiple lead changes through polling in the last few weeks. The two faced off in their first debate on Thursday night.

ROCHELLE PARK, N.J. (AP) - The U.S. Postal Service has suspended delivery to four northern New Jersey homes after a dog attacked a mail carrier.
The residents in the cluster of homes on Durand Place in Rochelle Park must retrieve the mail on their own.
Joan Patti tells The Record newspaper she was trying to tie her 3-year-old chocolate Lab named Max to the front of the house when the dog broke free and attacked the letter carrier last month. Jian Yang sustained six bites to his arm.
Postal Service spokesman George Flood says the attack was the dog's third on postal carriers this year and service is only suspended as a last resort.
Patti's husband says the dog was wrong but he doesn't think his neighbors should be penalized.

Despite having outgained Kansas by more than 150 yards at the end of the fourth quarter, Missouri is only leading by seven points, 17-10. In fact, Kansas is still flirting with the 100-yard mark in total offense for the game.
But the Tigers have helped keep the Jayhawks in the game by turning the ball over five times via three James Franklin interceptions and a pair of fumbles. Overall, Franklin is 11-of-18 passing for 111 yards and a touchdown against the three picks. The touchdown came on a 25-yard pass to Wes Kemp following a Kendial Lawrence two-yard touchdown run, the two scores accounting for 14 third-quarter points to give Missouri the lead.
For Kansas, Jordan Webb is 7-of-15 for 40 yards and a pick. The Jayhawks still have not scored since a pick-six early in the second quarter.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Just noticed the availability of this 3-album 2-CD set and, having been a fan of Mahogany Rush from their humble beginnings, I would first and foremost recommend this mainly for the acquisition of CHILD OF THE NOVELTY. This was the first MH album I ever heard and, along with MH IV (<–their masterpiece), knocked me out with Frank's unbelievable guitar-playing and unabashed cloning of Hendrix's style of singing and playing. It would have been cool, if Jimi would have lived, to know what he thought of this great, underrated band. Tracks like "Look Outside" and "Changing" sound like they could have come right off the ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? album. I kept hoping for a chance to see this band perform live in concert, but never got that chance. Hopefully, the boys remain together today, in some incarnation, and will tour the clubs or casinos as other 70's bands have done. I agree with the assessments of other reviewers: if you have heard great things about MH, this would be the good primer for you. I was not overly impressed with MAXOOM…but then, it was their first album and the guys were just getting their chops down. CHILD, on the other hand, kicks booty from start to finish. Not a bad song on the whole album. STRANGE UNIVERSE showed their inevitable growth, but overall didn't turn my crank as strongly as CHILD (with the exception of the sheer majesty of its title track). If this 2-CD collection impresses you, then fasten your seat belt and latch on to a copy of MH IV, their 4th album and, IMO, their equivalent of a Sgt. Pepper album.
Having seen and followed the band fairly closely from their early days, I can say that this material is excellent. The sounds created on "Child of the Novelty" were using basic equipment and Frank's guitar work. In the style of Hendrix, Frank Marino experiments with the capablities of the guitar and the results are very listenable. Whilst you have to pick through some of the tunes to get to the best stuff, it's worth the effort. Buddy, a tribute to Hendrix, Makin'my Wave and Land of 1000 Nights are all excellent tracks. Whilst not as powerful as the live stuff, it's much more moody and can be listened too much more frequently than the live material.
Of the 3 CD's included in this release, I actually only own "Strange Universe" on LP. Being a long time fan of Mahogany Rush, and owning several other LP's and tapes by them, this will be the first FM and Mahogany Rush I'll have on CD, so I can't wait to get my order in the mail!Perhaps I may only be qualified to give you a review on only 1/3 of the pack..I can assure you, if you're a guitar player, guitar fan or both.. you'll love everything that Frank Marino has to offer. Frank Marino has been a big influence on me, both as a guitarist and song writer. In the late 70's and early 80's.. Mahogany Rush was one of those bands that played many "multi-artist" concerts. They always played last. No matter what band was top billed, no matter what time it was, FM and Mahogany Rush always played last. After all the lightwieght rockers,satisfied by all the glitter and glamour of the star bands,were leaving the arenas at 12:00 am, Frank Marino was there, jamming for all us hardcore music finatics! And cutting heads along the way..This pack of the first three releases could be the best way to start your appreciation of one of the best bands in the world.-=BH=-
I first bought these albums on 8 Track back in the 70's. Now that I am grown up and have a CD player – gotta have this collection of music. None like it anywhere, Jimi would be (is) proud. I loved Hendrix and was amazed at how Frank Marino kept the feel, style, rawness and creativity of Hendrix alive in his own music. Every song stands out as a new creation. Frank Marino now has a new album out (first in eight long years) called, Eye of the Storm. It is available at MahoganyRush.com website only – for now. Check it out. Rock on Frank……

Here's something to do at Wallowa Lake: ride up the Wallowa Lake Tramway and feed the squirrels (oops, did I say that?). Or ride up the Wallowa Lake Tramway and enjoy the views! The Wallowa Lake Tramway is open (weather permitting) every day through the first weekend of October 2011.
And there's a lot to see from there! Views over the Wallowa Valley, views to the Seven Devil Mountains in Idaho past Hells Canyon, views into the Eagle Cap Wilderness.
It's a great way to see nature without hiking up 4,000 feet--let the tram whisk you up to the top of Mt. Howard so you can walk the two miles of trails with ease. When you're done, have a refreshing drink or snack at the Summit Grill.
And don't forget to feed the squirrels! (Photo of Heather and her pal at the Royal Purple Overlook on top of Mt. Howard--even the innkeepers of this Wallowa Lake lodging can get away every now and then).

NASHVILLE (BP) -- A federal judge has blocked closure of the last abortion clinic in Mississippi. Judge Dan Jordan issued a preliminary injunction April 15 preventing the state from revoking the license of the Jackson Women's Health Organization, according to The Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
The state government was prepared to shut down the clinic for its failure to comply with a 2012 law that requires abortion doctors to be certified in obstetrics and gynecology and to have hospital admitting privileges. Jordan's injunction enables the clinic to remain open while its federal lawsuit against the state goes forward.
The clinic acknowledged its doctors have been unable to obtain admitting privileges. Its doctors are from outside Mississippi, and hospitals often don't provide such privileges to out-of-state physicians, according to the Associated Press.
Another abortion clinic in the Philadelphia area is guilty of hazardous and unhealthy practices, according to allegations by former employees.
Two nurses quit their jobs at Planned Parenthood of Delaware because of conditions at the Wilmington, Del., clinic, according to WPVI-TV, Philadelphia's ABC affiliate.
The April 10 report came as the murder trial of abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell continued in Philadelphia. Gosnell faces seven counts of first-degree murder for killing viable, born-alive babies outside the womb and a count of third-degree murder in the death of a mother. Gosnell's West Philadelphia clinic, which was closed in 2010, has been described as a "house of horrors" for its filthy conditions.
Nurses Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich and Joyce Vasikonis, who made the allegations against the Planned Parenthood clinic in exclusive interviews with WPVI, said they were shocked at what the news report described as "a meat-market style of assembly-line abortions." They quit because they fear their medical licenses would be threatened.
"It was just unsafe. I couldn't tell you how ridiculously unsafe it was," Mitchell-Werbrich said.
The clinic was using unsterile instruments and failed to clean operating tables between patients, they said. The tables had "bloody drainage" on them, Mitchell-Werbrich said.
"Planned Parenthood needs to close its doors, it needs to be cleaned up, the staff needs to be trained," Mitchell-Werbrich told WPVI.
The clinic has temporarily halted in-clinic, surgical abortions but will continue to provide abortion pills, the Wilmington News Journal reported April 12. Staff changes and the need to train new employees prompted the center's suspension of in-clinic abortions, said a Planned Parenthood official, according to the newspaper.
In an April 10 statement, Ruth Lytle-Barnaby, new chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Delaware, said the staff and she had begun reviewing the clinic's services. She "determined that we need to take immediate steps to assure our patients of our high-quality care," Lytle-Barnaby said.
WPVI reported five clinic patients have allegedly been taken to the emergency room since early January. A doctor and two other nurses also have left the center, according to the television station.
Delaware does not perform routine inspections of abortion clinics, according to WPVI. The state only investigates in response to patient complaints.
VIRGINIA BOARD OKs STRICTER BUILDING STANDARDS FOR ABORTION CLINICS
The Virginia Board of Health gave final approval April 12 to new regulations that require abortion clinics to comply with hospital-like building standards.
The board voted 11-2 for the rules, which cover such regulations as the size of rooms and hallways. The rules implement health and safety standards called for by a 2011 law, which was the first in the country to mandate such regulations for clinics performing first-trimester abortions.
Virginia's 20 licensed abortion clinics have less than two years to meet the requirements, according to The Richmond Times-Dispatch. Upon the law's enactment in 2011, abortion rights advocates alleged the guidelines might result in the closing of all but four of the clinics.
Pro-life leaders applauded the Board of Health's action.
"These reasonable regulations will begin to rein in reckless abortionists in Virginia," said Olivia Gans Tuner, president of the Virginia Society for Human Life, according to The Times-Dispatch.
Casey Mattox, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, said in a written statement, "Virginia should be congratulated for holding abortionists to the same health and safety standards as everyone else. Their resistance to such standards exposes their real attitude toward women...."
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli certified the regulations after the vote. Gov. Bob McDonnell, who signed the bill into law, still must do a final review of the rules.
Pro-life pioneer Barbara Willke died April 14.
Willke, 90, who passed away after a head injury from a fall, partnered with her husband, Jack, to help lead early pro-life efforts. In 1971, they founded Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati, one of the first chapters of its kind, though the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion was nearly two years away, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. She was chair of the Cincinnati chapter until 1999.
In 1971, the Willkes coauthored Handbook on Abortion, which became a vital resource for the pro-life movement. The Willkes coauthored 12 books about abortion or human sexuality, The Enquirer reported.
Jack Willke was president of the National Right to Life Committee for 10 years and serves now as president of Life Issues Institute.
The Willkes would have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary later this year.
France's senate has approved a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, overcoming protests from conservative opponents.
The Scotsman reported that the upper house of the French parliament, which is controlled by President Francois Hollande's Socialist party, passed the bill April 13. The bill's opponents, mostly conservatives and Roman Catholics, were unable to halt its progress.
Justice Minister Christine Taubira said the reform will protect children living with same-sex parents and "move our institutions towards ever more freedom, equality and personal respect," according to the Scotsman.
Hollande promised to push legislation legalizing same-sex marriage during his presidential campaign, the Scotsman reported, and a slight majority of the French people support legalization, although support drops when questions are asked about adoption. The bill would allow same-sex couples to adopt children.
Demonstrations for and against gay marriage have drawn scores of people into the streets, the Scotsman reported. A January protest against legalization drew 340,000 people to the Eiffel Tower, while a rally supporting the bill drew 125,000 two weeks later.
According to the Scotsman, the bill is expected to become law after a May vote in the Socialist-controlled National Assembly, although some conservative opponents are not giving in.
"The parliamentary process continues so we will keep talking with the French people who seem to change their position," UMP party senator Jean-Pierre Raffarin told the Scotsman. "So nothing is definitive and the debate continues."
Evangelical Christians tend to give more to charity than their peers, according to a new study by the Barna Group.
The study finds that 79 percent of evangelical Christians gave money to a church or charity last year, while 65 percent have donated items and 60 percent volunteered their time. Only 1 percent of evangelicals say they donated nothing at all, which beats the national rate (13 percent) and the rate among those who claim no faith at all (25 percent).
"A person's religious identification has a lot to do with whether or not they donate to causes they believe in," the study said.
The study concluded that Americans support churches and non-profits about equally. Of those who gave in the last 12 months, 43 percent say most of their contributions went to a church, while 45 percent indicated a non-profit.
Evangelicals are least likely to give to a non-profit (28 percent), while about two-thirds of evangelicals (66 percent) who made charitable contributions gave to a church. Conversely, the study reported, 82 percent of atheist and agnostic donors gave to a non-profit, while only 4 percent gave to a church.
Evangelicals are also most likely to give relatively large amounts, while atheists and agnostics are more likely to give relatively small amounts.
The study found that the more financially secure donors felt, the more they were likely to give.
"For most Americans, giving is a luxury or a nice thing to do, but not typically viewed as a necessity," the study said. "While the economy and donor outlook continue to show signs of improvement, it would be a tragedy if donors did not reevaluate the overall basis of their givingthat it's not just an extra thing to do or for the tax benefits, but rediscovering the truest meaning of generosity."

S.D. journalists check whether public records are really 'public'
By The Associated Press
Printer-friendly page
PIERRE, S.D. Want to see county documents about your neighbor's property taxes?
No problem.
Want to know how much your city finance officer makes?
A breeze.
But if you want to find out what your sheriff or city police did yesterday, good luck.
A new survey shows South Dakotans have good access to county tax records and school and city government documents. But law enforcement information is another matter.
Reporters, editors and other staff of South Dakota's 11 daily newspapers and the Associated Press visited city, county and school offices in all county seats on June 26 to check whether records are available to the public. College students, publishers and a press operator also acted as surveyors.
"We ran a test. Does it work? If Joe Blow comes off the street to get information a salary or property-tax information, whatever it might be is the public able to access that information?" said Kim Dohrer, editor of The Daily Republic in Mitchell and president of the South Dakota Associated Press Managing Editors.
A separate study by the Better Government Association in Chicago in 2001 found South Dakota's public-access laws to be the nation's most restrictive. The government-watchdog group reviewed state laws on public access to records and meetings and declared them the worst in the country.
Dohrer says she hopes the new project carried out by South Dakota newspapers and the AP will help educate both the public and government officials about the importance of making public records easily available.
In a democratic society, citizens must be able to get information about government, Dohrer said. Open government can help prevent graft and corruption or just help people find out what is going on, she said.
"Open records are part and parcel of an open government. We all know what government is like when it's closed," Dohrer said.
Because the information sought in the project was selected not for its news value but to test whether an average citizen could get it, the surveyors did not identify themselves as reporters. Unless pressed, they were not to reveal their identity or that the questions were part of a statewide project.
Some officials said their suspicions, already heightened by last year's terror attacks, were aroused by the surveyors' reluctance to explain why they wanted the records.
"I know it's public information. But what are they going to use it for? That's the kind of thing that's kind of scary, you know," said Mellette County Equalization Director Richard McKee, who provided the information requested. "We weren't so strict on it before 9/11."
What was sought
Equalization directors were asked for the current property-tax assessment of each county's commission chairman. Each county treasurer was asked for the commission chairman's tax bill. At city offices, documents showing the city finance officer's salary were requested.
Sheriff's offices and city police departments were asked to show the previous day's crime log. School districts were asked to provide a document showing the athletic director's pay.
The property tax information was provided in all but one county, and the officials who handle the information in that county were gone the day of the test. In nearly every city, officials also provided information on the finance officer's pay.
But few sheriff's departments or city police would turn over their crime logs. Only 19 of 109 law enforcement agencies provided information from crime logs. Many law enforcement officials said those records were not considered public.
South Dakota law generally provides that any record that's required to be kept becomes a public record open to inspection by anyone during normal business hours. Other laws specifically prevent some documents from being made public.
Dohrer said the survey results show that when people use their right to get public information, the system works. County property-tax documents are frequently sought, so they are readily available. But the response rate was a little lower in school districts and cities because people request such information less frequently, she said.
The response rate was good for counties and cities, but it should be 100%, Dohrer said.
Law enforcement records
State law does not require law enforcement agencies to keep daily logs, so it's not surprising that many don't make those logs public, she said.
A 1991 written opinion by Attorney General Mark Barnett said a sheriff's dispatch logs do not appear to be public records because no law requires them to be kept. Any confidential information on criminal investigations should not be disclosed, the opinion said.
Barnett's nonbinding opinion also said the courts might interpret the open-records law differently.
Codington County Sheriff Keith Olson said he didn't provide the information because he understood the questioner to be asking for an unspecified incident report. He said he routinely provides his department's logs to reporters with the understanding they won't release some confidential information about juveniles or ongoing investigations.
Other sheriffs said they would not release logs but were willing to talk about specific cases.
In Rapid City, the Pennington County Sheriff's Department and the Rapid City Police Department post a combined daily log that hangs in a place plainly visible and accessible to the public.
'Look them in the eye'
Of all the information requested, property-tax records are the documents most routinely sought because they are used in the real estate business and by people checking if their taxes are comparable to their neighbors'.
Some people call the Mellette County Equalization Office and ask for tax information without saying who they are or why they want it, McKee said. He sometimes tells them to put their request in writing.
When the open-records project representative visited his office, McKee provided the requested information. But he and an assistant required the person to give his name and where he worked. In a polite series of questions, they also sought to find out why the surveyor wanted the information.
Most visitors explain who they are and what they are up to, but some won't say much, McKee said. "I realize it's strictly public information in my office, but I do like sometimes to see who it is and look them in the eye."
It's natural for government officials to ask visitors who they are and why they want a document, said Dave Bordewyk, manager of the South Dakota Newspaper Association, which includes both dailies and weeklies.
"But at the same time, that should not be the test. Access to public records should not be tested as to who you are or why you want it," Bordewyk said.
The 2001 terrorist attacks made people more wary, but their right to get government information also must be protected, he said. The key is to strike the right balance that protects people's right to public information, Bordewyk said.
The Newspaper Association was not involved in the open-records test but often deals with the same issues.
"Access to public records is fundamental to our way of government, period. When that access is denied or challenged, our government suffers and more importantly, we think the public suffers as well," Bordewyk said.

Hello from eastern Indiana! I have been lurking for about a month, and I thought that it would be a good time for an introduction. I hail from Upland, Indiana (north of Muncie and a little south of Marion). This is a wonderful site, and I have already learned so much.
I grew up outside the town of Paxton, Illinois in central Illinois and I spent many years riding on my father's 55 cub doing the mowing chores with the belly-mounted Woods mower. The old 55 was given to my father by my grandfather. Both of my grandfathers were farmers, and to the best of my knowledge this old cub was the only IH product that either one of them owned.
The great news is that I recently purchased a home on a few acres outside of town (Upland, IN), and my father is giving me the cub - he got one of those "green" tractors. It has not run in 3 years, but it always has been housed in a garage. I hope to get this old tractor up and running sometime before the grass gets too high at my property. Unfortunately, I will have to remodel the entire house (new hardwood floors, doors, kitchen, etc.) before I can start on the cub project.
I hope to learn even more as I lurk on the site. Thanks a bunch!

Miller sings Rodgers & Hammerstein classics
- Written by Rita Charleston
- Published in Entertainment
The Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope has been reborn and opened with its production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "A Grand Night for Singing," continuing through July 29.
The show features more than 30 works of the celebrated duo's greatest hits, from "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" to "Some Enchanted Evening," and showcases some of Broadway's top performers, including Kenita R. Miller.
"We sing individually and as a group. Alone, I get to sing 'If I Loved You,' and 'I Can't Say No.' One of my favorite songs, which, unfortunately I don't get to sing in the show but is one of my favorites and the first song I ever sang in a high school recital, is 'Something Wonderful,'" said Miller.
"A Grand Night For Singing" has been entertaining audiences since the Roundabout Theatre Company brought it to Broadway in 1993 for 93 performances. And Miller has been entertaining her family, friends, and finally awaiting audiences since she was a young child.
"My parents used to tell me I was always very dramatic," she said. "And while a lot of people I knew did community theater, I didn't really get involved with it until the end of my high school career when I realized I might actually become an entertainer."
And that realization was fostered by some good teachers who recognized her talent.
"They saw that I loved to sing, that I wasn't too bashful and that I loved all the musical theater pieces we did in school," she said. "So they started pushing me, urging me to get involved. Today, as I look around, I feel very blessed that I had people all around me to help and guide me in the direction my life finally took."
Later, Miller went on to study at the American Music and Dramatic Academy in New York, and after two years there, managed to book two national tours, "Civil War" with Larry Gatlin and "Ragtime."
She also got a role as a standby for Celie on Broadway in "The Color Purple," and later also appeared in "Xanadu."
She says at first she felt very intimidated while appearing in "The Color Purple," but soon began to take it all in her stride, leaving the show, but eventually coming back to claim the role of Celie as her own, and later going out on tour with the show.
For her many performances in various roles, she has received a Drama Desk nomination/Audelcoo Award. On film and TV, Miller has done roles in "Liberty City Is Like Paris To Me," and "Sesame Street," among others.
"As I've grown, I have become a bit shy but I try to hold on to the creativity I had as a child," said Miller. "On stage, I still feel nervous and vulnerable at times, knowing people are watching me and even judging me. But I also like the adventure of it all. I love the challenge it gives me as a human being. And by doing this traditional musical theater show, I feel as though I'm paying homage to what these two great gentlemen created."
And today, as an African-American performer, Miller said she feels especially happy to be representing her race.
"I'm very proud of who and what I am," said Miller. "I take great joy in being African-American, and even if I'm the only one in a show, I'm proud to give audiences a different kind of perspective and let the people see this music in a different light. I want audiences to see that with me being Black I connect with the music as much as anybody else and am just as moved by it as anybody else."
For the future, besides being open to any and every opportunity that comes her way, Miller is working on a show about the late Eartha Kitt, what she calls a "personal project that helps me stay creative between jobs. "For me, life is an adventure that I just want to keep on experiencing for as long as I can," she said.

HollywoodSportsbook.com Chooses âDelinquent Pizza Lovinâ Dentistâ as Its Latest âGambler of the Weekâ
Michigan millionaire dentist uses stolen credit card to buy $40 in pizza
San Jose, Costa Rica, March 16th, 2011, Hollywoodsportsbook.com, (www.hollywoodsportsbook.com) a leading online entertainment gaming site since 1997, today announced that it has chosen East Lansing area dentist Dr. Richard Ludwig, 54, as its latest "Gambler of the Week" for taking a very bad gamble of using someone else's credit card which he found and used to buy $40 worth of pizza while visiting Polk County Florida for his sons baseball tournament.
Robert Evans, Hollywood's Director of Operations says "WTF?….Here's a successful guy worth between 3-4 million dollars, highly educated, probably doing good deeds throughout Michigan, but he comes to Florida for his son's baseball game and stoops to common criminal levels by using a lost credit card he finds in a parking lot, thereby gambling with his dental career and reputation all for 2 large pizzas with extra olives…Can he be that cheap? ……Or just stupid?"
The victim, Harrun Majeed, a military veteran from Davenport Fl, realized he lost his credit card when he got home from the supermarket and immediately called to cancel it.…… But it was too late...the devious dentist had already struck. Majeed called the cops who acted quickly and found Ludwig still at the crime scene still anxiously awaiting delivery of his purloined pepperoni pies and was arrested.
Ludwig was charged with credit card theft, forgery and impersonating and use of an ID of another. Police asked if he was having financial difficulties for him to do something like this when Ludwig laughed and said "absolutely not… I am worth 3-4 million"
Evans continues… look I love pizza more than anybody… I am Italian and grew up eating pizza 3 times a week…not Pizza Hut or Dominoes…Homemade….. so I never needed to steal one or steal money from my mom's purse to buy pizza and beer at The Big Cheese Pizzeria in Cranston, R.I….Ok, that part is true…I did that…. But I was 16, and trying to impress the ladies…... This guy did it just because he is an arrogant jackass." He could have easily been a hero to Mr. Majeed by turning the card in…but nope…he chose to be a punk and will now pay the consequences.
Arresting officer Sheriff Grady Judd says "I've been in law enforcement for a long time, but this one takes the cake. This is the epitome of arrogance. Dr. Ludwig appears to be an intelligent, successful person who could have bought pizza for everyone in Davenport, but instead, he risked his career to steal from a military veteran."
For being chosen as our "Gambler of the Week," Hollywood is reluctantly awarding Mr. Ludwig with a $500 wagering account even though we detest what he did, but we hope he can run up to thousands in order to buy pizza for everybody in Davenport as the sheriff suggests and make a matching donation to the local Little League says Ms. Nicki Smith, Hollywood's Public Relations manager.
Additionally Hollywood has a special promotion in spite of Mr. Ludwig. Sign up and make a deposit with them and they will give you an extra 20% Free Cash Bonus to use on their site using promo code GOW20A. Just please don't use a stolen card!

When asked how many people are using Google+ Dodge replied, "Any numbers you've heard are way low."
"How many then?" We asked.
"I've heard 1.5 billion," joked Heiferman.
Dodge just smiled and replied, "The numbers are way low."
Goldstein brought up a good point though. "You're Google," he said. "You put a bar across the entire platform with a bright red box, or worse a big blue arrow, that encourages you to sign up, and it's not that hard to get to 50 million users."
Either way, it sounds like all of the Googlers will be getting their Google+-tied bonuses this year.

Four schools begin spring football practice on Monday: the Oklahoma St. Cowboys, Boise St. Broncos, Temple Owls and UNLV Rebels. Yes, it's amazing that this list includes two soon-to-be Big East teams. Only Temple will be joining the conference this year, though.
Those two big-name teams have veteran quarterbacks to replace, with Kellen Moore and Brandon Weeden moving on after approximately 736 combined starts. Boise State blog OBNUG has been going in on Broncos spring practice projections for quite a while now, late last week casting Joe Southwick as the man with the first chance at replacing Moore.
OSU's official depth chart has Clint Chelf, J.W. Walsh and Wes Lunt contending for the job. I'm having a hard time deciding which of those names is the most Oklahoma, so Mike Gundy's got his work cut out there.
Temple leaves the MAC, with 5'5 running back Matt Brown hoping to take over for the NFL-bound Bernard Pierce. Penn St. Nittany Lions transfer Kevin Newsome could challenge for starting quarterback Chris Coyer's spot.
And UNLV, which shuffled its coaching staff by switching linebackers coach J.D. Williams in for former coordinator Kraig Paulson, must improve its 105th-ranked defense despite losing four key starters.

Carriage Towne News
---- — Mr. Acton takes on "The Affordable Care Act" (labeled "Obama Care") with his article titled, "Romney is serious about health care reform."
In the same newspaper, there is another article titled, "Don't Repeal Affordable Health Care Act" (Obama care) by Ms. Rhoda Feldman of Kensington. So is Obama care good or bad?
If you read these two points of view you will be just as conflicted as when you look for truth within both political parties; so what is a seeker of truth to do?
If you want to find out the real "skinny" on the horrors of combat you would talk to a combat veteran from one of our many wars, not some guy whose only combat experience was watching the History Channel with a "Bud" in his hand.
Since the elderly account for 92% of the cost of health care spending, it would seem prudent to question a respected voice of the elderly - AARP. After viewing the many websites I would ask Mr. Acton or anyone else of a like mind to simply directly address these straight forward statements offered by AARP.
As a starting point lets find something we can all agree on. The Supreme Court has ruled that Obama care is constitutional.
AARP states, "millions of Americans - from the women who can now access free checkups, to the seniors saving on their prescriptions, to the 105 million people that have seen lifetime limits on their insurance coverage lifted - can now continue to enjoy these important benefits." (So, is this a lie?)
"Twelve point eight (12.8) million Americans receive insurance rebates. Before health-care reform insurance companies routinely spend up to forty percent of premiums on overhead and administrative costs. Today, thanks to Obama care, insurance companies are required to spend eighty percent of your premiums on your health care, - and if they don't you get a rebate.
This summer, nearly 12.8 million Americans will start receiving their rebate checks which average $151 per household and totaling more than $1.1 billion (Mr. Acton: is this a lie?)
Three point one (3.1) million young Americans gain health coverage by being allowed to stay on their parent's healthcare insurance until twenty-six Raven kicked off the team. (Is this a lie?)
Mr. Acton has generously made the following most generous offer and I quote, "my wife and I made sacrifices so that we can survive on her salary and I can dedicate the next two years of my life as a Senator in Concord." Unless the foregoing statements are all lies, the writer would respectfully suggest that you do not quit your day job and further suggest that no one vote for you, unless the AARP people are lying. Fact checks from MSNBC or Fox news are not acceptable; only real everyday people who are having real experiences with Obama care will be counted as reliable.

Lorenzo Alexander sheds light on how Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan have amde a push to reward players that are working hard and doing a better job of screening incoming players.
List of Redskins draft interests.
ESPN analyst Mark Schlereth explains how Mike Shanahan thought he could change McNabb and Haynesworth.
Bruce Allen says it was a coincidence that Albert Haynesworth's four-game suspension came with four games left in the season. Allen said he was the one who informed owner Dan Snyder that Haynesworth was being suspended, but only after the decision had been made.
Bruce Allen has dealt with holdouts before. Ironically, one of his biggest ones was Keenan McCardell in Tampa, who is now the Redskins WR Coach.
Joe Gibbs iterates that their are problems like Hayensworth every year, then proceeds to tell the hilarious story of how Gibbs got then holdout John Riggins back to DC
I keep seeing Mike Holmgren's name thrown about, and I wouldn't mind Holmgren coming in here and trying to right this ship. However, the hiring of Bruce Allen means the next HC will not also play...

Stock Futures Mixed as U.S. Adds Jobs
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock futures were little changed Friday morning after the U.S. added jobs in October. It's the last jobs report ahead of Tuesday's presidential election.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 0.03% to 13,161. Futures for the S&P 500 were losing 0.03% to 1423. Nasdaq futures were up 0.01% to 2685, with a fair value of 2681.
Nonfarm payrolls in October rose 171,000 as the unemployment rate ticked slightly higher to 7.9%, from the prior month's 7.8%. The unemployment rate was in line with expectations, according to Briefing.com, but above the forecast for 125,000 new jobs.
Investors also anticipated September factory orders to rise some 4.5%, which would be a noted turnaround from the 5.2% August decline that resulted from a large drop in aircraft orders.Chevron (CVX) posted third-quarter earnings Friday of $2.69 a share; analysts expected a profit of $2.83 a share. The FTSE 100 in London was dipping 0.14%, while the DAX in Germany was adding 0.14%. Asian markets posted gains Friday after the Bank of Japan left interest rates unchanged at zero to 0.1%. Japan's Nikkei average rose 1.17% overnight to close at 9051. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.33% to 22,111. Gold for December delivery was dropping $13.60 to $1,701.90 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while December crude oil contracts were shedding 68 cents to $86.41 a barrel. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was sinking 11/32, boosting the yield to 1.767%. The dollar was up 0.32%, according to the U.S. dollar index. Coffee giant Starbucks (SBUX) reported earnings Thursday after the closing bell and the company beat analysts' expectations by a penny and hiked its fiscal 2013 forecast on ambitious growth plans. The company lifted its quarterly dividend by more than 20%. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced his endorsement for President Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race, as he said the president had shown significant leadership deserving of re-election. Insurance giant AIG (AIG) posted third-quarter earnings on Thursday of $1.86 billion, or $1.13 a share, for the September-ended quarter. AIG reported a year-ago loss of $4 billion. The company's operating income came in at $1, which was above analysts' expectations of 87 cents.

In many parts of India, people will turn over the pages of their traditional calendar to a new year as the Vikram era 2070 unfolds Monday, November 4, 2013.
In Northern India as well as in Gujarat it is the start of the financial year, or 'Nutan Varsh', as they call it. It is the first day of Kartik month in the Vikram and Gujarati calendars, both of which are lunar and calculated based on the fortnightly cycle of the moon. Download Gujarati Calendar for 2070 provided by Shree Swaminarayan Temple of Bhuj, India.
People in many parts of India celebrate the beginning of the Vikram Year as 'Annakut,' the day after Diwali. Annakut (Sanskrit. anna= 'grain' denoting food; kut='mountain' indicating abundance) heralds a new beginning with a golden harvest of the crop that had been planted during and after the monsoon season. The new crop is cut and offered to God on this first day of the new year. This festival or 'utsav' is also known as 'Annakutotsav,' when the supply of food from the new harvest reaches a new high.
In the photograph, you can see a few Hindu priests offering prayers in the Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Kolkata during the Annakutotsav. More than 700 different vegetarian food items ranging from traditional to Mexican, Chinese, Thai, and Italian are offered to symbolize that crops would now be ready to be harvested and the first offering is to God in appreciation of Nature bounty and kindness.
The Vikram era (also known as Vikram Samvatsar or Vikram Samvat) began long ago when the great Indian king Vikramaditya wanted to commemorate his victory over the Shaks in 57 BC... Read more

NPPL Huntington Beach Rumor Report
The National Professional Paintball League (NPPL) will be hosting the Surf City Open, arguably the most watched paintball event of the year, in just over a week. With one of the biggest tournaments in the paintball world right around the corner, rumors have been running rampant as to what teams and players are going to be making an appearance. Luckily the crew over at ProPaintball.com has got the dirt on the juiciest details.
Here's excerpt from their NPPL HB rumor report:
- Pro Paintball insiders tell mentioned that Infamous MIGHT be competing at the NPPL Surf City Open. After an off-season full of rumors that Infamous had left the NPPL to focus on the Race-To format, word is they might be coming back for one event or the entire series. Infamous players Damian Ryan and Brad McCurly play with Chicago Legend while Kali is rumored to be playing with DC Arsenal. The big holdup appears to be filling the Infamous roster with talented players for the event.
- Paul "P4″ Katic (ret. Arsenal) is rumored to be playing with Hollywood HK. Also in the mix is Mark Lack (ret. Entourage/Dynasty). Lack took a break from the pro field to refocus on his college education and is said to have the paintball itch. Word is both P4 and Lack will be joining HK on the pro field at NPPL Huntington Beach next week.
- Rumors ran back and forth about the future of the Indianapolis Mutiny program after the teams no-show at NPPL Las Vegas last season. According to ProPaintball Insiders, Tommy'O and the gang will be back on the pro field at the Surf City Open.
- Patrick Hughes (ret. Aftermath) is said to be making a come back in time for NPPL HB. No word yet as to what team he will be playing with.

Fires in Calhoun County keep sky gray

Friday was a smoky day in Calhoun County.
Firefighters are working to control a blaze at a cotton gin in Calhoun County.
Officials responded to an emergency call about 1 p.m. Friday at the Moreman Community Gin Association on state Highway 35, Calhoun County Sheriff B.B. Browning said.
When they arrived, 21 cotton modules were on fire. Each module contains about 15 bales of cotton, Browning said.
The sheriff's office, the Port Lavaca Fire Department and various other volunteer fire departments in the county responded to the call.
Browning said they won't be able to put out the fire, but they are working to control the blaze.
"When one of those cotton modules catches on fire, it's almost impossible to stop it," he said. "They just have to burn themselves out."
Port O'Connor residents also had a smoky day Friday after a shift in the weather caused smoke from a controlled burn on the northern tip of Matagorda Island to drift over the community.
The smoke, a brownish gray from burning saltgrass and brush, came into town about noon, Port O'Connor resident Mickie Vossler said. Vossler could smell it inside the house about 12:30 p.m. and it blanketed the whole town, she said.
"It was basically covering the whole town," she said. "You walked outside, all you could smell was smoke."
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services were burning 2,300 acres on the island, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Project Leader Dan Alonso said.
Fire is a part of the natural cycle of land, Alonso said. The agency conducts such burns to regulate the fires and make sure they don't burn out of control. Every section of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is burned every one to three years, Alonso said.
A great deal of planning goes into each burn, he noted, and weather is a strong factor in determining whether a burn can occur. The weather was supposed to be good for conducting the burn on Friday, but an unexpected weather change caused the smoke to go the wrong way, he said.
"All of the parameters were met when the burn started, but a weather anomaly allowed the fire smoke to carry over into the community," Alonso said.

Pours out like lemonade with no haze to it with not much head not what I expected,strong nose of coriander and smoke.Taste is pretty spicey with a light not of the caracao orange with wheaty aftertaste that was pretty nice.Well not on par with some Belgian wittes it is nice on a hot day like today.

This beer was not particularly heady, nor was it very aromatic. After a sip, I did notice a nice little hint of ginger, but apart from that it's not a particulary complex white beer. It does go down smooth, however, without that acrid aftertaste that poorly crafted whites can have.

Hazy golden straw pour with little head retention. Smell is somewhat muted with wheat and a little bit of spice on the nose. Taste is a mostly orange and a little coriander. Decent wheat taste-rounds out the mouthfeel. Not super crisp but has decent carbonation. Low on hop flavor as expected. A good beer for a hot day and I could see a couple goingdoing easy but not the best of the style.

A: Guess what it's actually white! Very
attractive white cloudiness with little
carbonation thus weak head and lace.
S: The orange peel is there with other citrus
a little yeast, but the coriander and spice
is lost.
T: The orange is much more present than other
whites who have suggested an orange ingred-
ient. The spice and coriander is lacking
in favor of the stronger orange notes I
M/D: This is a good summer brew that is diff-
erent from the usual white but not com-
pletely successful in its attempts at
uniqueness. The mouthfeel is a little
thin and a tad flat though I'm not sure
that due to the style these "weaknesses"
were all that weak.

S: There is a faint citrus smell, but nothing to write home about.
T: This is a really refreshing beer for me. It's crisp and finishes quite nicely. While there isn't a whole lot of distinctive flavor, it's one of those beers that would really be good in numbers at a BBQ.
M: The rascal is highly carbonated, but I think it works here.
O: This isn't a groundbreaking beer, but it is refreshing and one that I wouldn't mind keeping on hand in the future.

$4.25 bottle at Brickskeller's in Washington DC.
After walking to the bar from the metro stop, I needed something crisp and refreshing. I'd never had an Avery product before, but it turns out I made a wise choice.
A delightful beer. So crisp and clean - fantastic! It is very lively - not like so many other Belgians I've had where the saison yeast just overpowers everything else.
Light and refreshing, but not in a wimpy or weak way. Full of personality and character.

12oz brown bottle. Very hazy pale straw colored beer, with a large bubbled foamy white head, lace and some stick to the glass.
Musty hay fresh yeast aroma, with splashes of orange peel and soft coriander spice.
Thin-bodied, but even, and quite light on the palate with scrubbing quick flash of tight carbonation. Light short-lived citric hop bitterness. Dirty yeast / pear-skin feel follows. More soft spices of coriander smoothed into the light malt sweetness, with hints of apple and orange, and an herbal backing. Dry-ish yeasty finish.
A fairly decent stab at the style. Seems a bit dumbed down, but its still enjoyable and worth a try.

The White Rascal pours a hazy, very light yellow-white. It has a decent sized white head that has good retention and some lacing.
The aroma is musty and yeasty with some slight citrus notes (orange peel) and some spiciness.
The taste is yeasty and spicy (corriander) with more of the citrus (lemon and orange) coming out and some sweetish malts which helps balance it nicely. It's a little on the thin side. It has a nice, crisp finish and is very easy-drinking.
Overall, a great summer brew.

A- Cloudy whitish lemon yellow. The head is an inch tall, foamy white, and fades leaving lots of little bubbles behind.
S- Lots of spice and fruit. Coriander and orange stand out the most but light clove, peach, lemon, banana and of course wheat come through.
T- A very smooth and spicy experience. Similar to the nose but with more complexity and strength there is a lot more clove and coriander but also greater amounts of citrus.
M- A wheaty thickness and a bit thin. This is not stellar but certainly okay.
D- A pretty good wit, not quite as good as Allagash but a bit better than Hoegaarden, this is one I could have a couple of but probably won't go out of my way to get.

Pours one of the palest yellow colors I've ever seen. Very cloudy from the unfiltered yeast, and the white head rises a couple of inches before settling into moderate patch lacing down the glass.
Aroma is enticing. Very spicy, with cloves, coriander, and allspice. Quite citrusy, as well, with lemon and orange peel hard to miss. Some wheat and yeast notes are also picked up.
Mouthfeel is light bodied and well carbonated.
The taste is spicy, and citrus rind bitter. Yeast and wheat are in the background. Bittersweet dominates all the way through, with a pronounced spicy character. The finish has a softer, orange liqueor note. Very clean aftertaste, considering all the spiciness and unfiltered yeast.
Good drinkability, thanks mostly to the soft finish and clean aftertaste. Light body makes this a nice warm weather seasonal. Another winner from Avery.

12 ounce botle, w/o freshness indication. Pours light cloudy yellowy amber, with a white loose head, showing fine retentive powers and leaving plenty of loose, yet sticky lacing. Bubble kep on rising to the top, yeasties floating around. Nose is of chalky wheat stalks and grain husks. This is a fairly mainstream wheat ale, notes of a creamsicle ice cream bar, soft wheat, drying soft hops late, with some honey in the finish. Pleasant enuf, but nothing special, pretty boring by Avery standards.

Freshness Date: None
A: Pale yellow and turbid with a foamy, clean white foam of small bubbles that fades to a cling on the glass.
S: Base of hay and crackers with predominant spice and citrus components.
T: Moderate palate featuring a foundation of cracker, grain, and hay maltiness with highlights of coriander, pepper, and citrus zest. There are also subtle notes of yeasty esters lending a tinge of crisp fruitiness.
M: Thin, light, and sporting moderate carbonation; this brew has a nice refreshing feel.
O: A solid beer that is both subtle and flavorful. Perfect for the warm summer days ahead.

Police in Brimfield bust two "shake and bake" meth labs in the city.
Cops stopped a car on Tallmadge Road near I-76 late Friday night. A Tallmadge K-9 unit also responded to the traffic stop, and the K9 alerted officers to drugs in the car.
Officers recovered meth and the chemicals to make meth from the vehicle. Two teenage girls, whom police say had been smoking meth, were also recovered.
Police then went to the source of the lab - a duplex in the 2000 block of Tallmadge Road. Two "shake and bake" meth labs, meth, needles and marijuana were seized.
Two men were arrested and charged with drug-related offenses.

Community chest: Storage firms need to pay open-source debts
Linux and *BSD have completely changed the storage market. They are the core of so many storage products, allowing startups and established vendors alike to bring new products to the market more rapidly than previously possible. Almost every vendor I talk to these days has built their system on top of these and then there are the number of vendors who are using Samba implementations for their NAS functionality. Sometimes they move on from Samba but almost all version 1 NAS boxen are built on top of it.

Did Red Hat's CTO Walk – Or Was He Pushed?
He went on to say that some within Red Hat speculate that tensions between Stevens and Paul Cormier, Red Hat's president of products and technologies, might be responsible, although there doesn't appear to have been any current argument between the two. Cormier will take over Stevens' duties until a replacement is found. Vaughan-Nichols also said that others at Red Hat had opined that Stevens might've left because he'd risen as high as he could within the company and with no new advancement opportunities open to him, he'd decided to move on. If this was the case, why did he leave so abruptly? Stevens had been at Red Hat for nearly ten years. If he was leaving merely because "I've done all I can here and it's time to seek my fortune elsewhere," we'd expect him to work out some kind of notice and stay on the job long enough for Red Hat to find a suitable replacement. Turning in a resignation that's effective immediately is not the ideal way to walk out the door for the last time. It smells of burning bridges.
