Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
I have a small BH disc, set of cultivators and moldboard plow, all of which are in good condition........ since they aren't doing any good just sitting around, I figured I would either fabricate a detachable hitch for them and try to put them to use or just sell them and invest the money in the cub. Anyone ever modify the small BH implements to use with a cub? Did they work well? They use the sleeve hitch type attachment like I had on an old simplicity yard tractor. Would I be better off just selling the lot of them and buying implements designed for the cub?
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
Yes, it will get something you can use, and preserve the implements for their correct use. They are really too light for a Cub's power.

Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
I pull a small (weighted) disk harrow built for 2 wheeled garden tractors and a cut down peg toothed harrow behind a Cub Cadet.
Mounted, bolted, an unused Cub Cadet blade on the bucket of a Case 1816 skid steer. Works great for snow removal.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
I'm sure it depends on location and condition but I just sold a Sears Suburban plow complete with coulter and weed rod, and a David Bradley cultivator with all 4 shanks and both depth wheels. Most of the paint was gone on both and they were lightly rusted all over. They sold in a few weeks for $125 each using a Craig's List ad. Spring is the time to sell things like that when people are thinking about their gardens. You live close to Roanoke, right, try listing them in their Craig's List and while your there look for folks selling Cub equipment. Make sure you post good pictures for best results.
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
Yea, I'd sell them. Brinly Hardy stuff is good equipment, and they bring nice prices with the garden tractor folks. I've never had a problem selling anything BH on Craigslist, and typically they sell for asking price. Unfortunatly, the BH stuff is really a bit too light for a Cub, and the biggest problem is wheel width. All the BH stuff is built for a garden tractor width, about 36-inches, and the cub is around 44-inches wide, so you will always be leaving tire tracks. I'd sell them and keep an eye out for standard Cub implements. They will work much better.

Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
I converted a brinley plow to the 3-pt hitch of my cub just to see if it would pull it!---(It wouldnt!!! not enough power!)---I also did up a 6" bottom from a David-Bradley and it only will pull that one about 4" deep,---I plow 16 to 18 " deep and gotta have serious power to do the job!---Thats why I use the big 1-bottom hi-clearance plow on the IH 706 and run 6 to 7 mph to really break up the ground in the fall!--I do NOT spring plow if I can avoid it! (makes for bad clods here in my ground!) thanks; sonny
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
Are you talking about a Cub Cadet perhaps? Because a Farmall Cub's plow is bigger than the David-Bradley garden tractor plow and the cub pulls it just fine.
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
Not if he sinks it 18" into the ground.
That would be like tying a poodle to a parked tractor trailer.
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
Missed that part. Seriously, 16 - 18" down??? I think the implement desired is called a subsoiler not a plow. But what do I know.
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
My F-Cub has no problem pulling a standard 12" 152 plow, it doesn't seem to have to work too hard at it at all. I believe a 706 would be able to handle a 3 or 4 bottom plow, no? I used to use a 3 bottom behind a 444.
Attachments - 193 plow - 144 cultivator - 22 mower - 28A disc harrow - 54 leveling blade - Woods 59C2 - drag harrows - Mott D9 flail
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
Not if you're plowing 16-18" deep, it won't...
He must have some real deep topsoil where he is. Around here you're well into the subsoil at 12" usually.
Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
lol, here you are 12" into rock ledge at 18"

Re: Brinly Hardy Implements on a Cub?
I picked up a B/H aereator at the transfer station, bent tongue and minus wheels. Was thinking about making new frame from scrap 4" angle I have with f/h point. Can purchase 5 additional "wheels" and spacers for about 60 dollars. Should work ok if picked up when turning. Finished tool would be about 60 inches wide. Sharp point type, not a plugger. What do you guys think?

(Chicago, IL) - Thirteen amazing steel bridge projects have earned national recognition in the 2014 Prize Bridge Awards Competition. Conducted every other year by the National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA), the Prize Bride Awards recognize innovative design and engineering achievements on structural steel bridge projects throughout the country and is the highest honor bestowed on steel bridge projects by the U.S. structural steel industry. The winning bridges and their project team members were recognized on March 26 during the combined 2014 World Steel Bridge Symposium (WSBS) and NASCC: The Steel Conference in Toronto.
The awards were presented to winners in a variety of categories covering an array of project types including: Major Span; Long Span; Medium Span; Short Span; Moveable Span; Reconstructed; and Special Purpose. Recognition was also given to projects that best exemplified Accelerated Bridge Construction and Sustainability.
This year's Prize Bridge Award winners are:

The following projects received Sustainability Commendations:
"The Prize Bridge Awards program was initiated in 1928 with the Sixth Street Bridge in Pittsburgh - now named the Roberto Clemente Bridge - which is still a landmark in the downtown area," commented Bill McEleney, managing director of NSBA. "This year's award winners follow the example of the Clemente Bridge as they utilize state-of-the-art design strategies and materials to produce economical and iconic structures which will stand for the next 100 years. These projects were selected by a jury of the designer's peers and are representative of the ability of structural steel to provide the best solution for the full range of bridge needs deserved."
Winning projects were selected based on innovation, aesthetics, and design and engineering solutions by a jury of five engineering and construction professionals: Benjamin Beerman, senior structural engineer, FHWA Resource Center; Thomas R. Cooper, P.E., P.Eng., lead structural engineer, Parsons Brinckerhoff; Robert Healy, director of structures, RK&K; Thomas P. Macioce, P.E., division chief, bridge design and technology division, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation; Bert Parker, senior vice president/chief administrative officer, Garver Engineers.
All structures were opened to traffic between May 1, 2011 and September 30, 2013.

text: Dad Style Pictures For Father's Day Sugar Daddies: Take a Look at Our Dads' Most Memorable Style Snaps by Brittney Stephens 6/13/12 14 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Our dads are often one of the first sources of grown-up style inspiration in our lives (for better or for worse), and it's always interesting to see how they dabbled with various trends back in the day. Tapered jeans and Hawaiian shirts aside, some of our dads really had it going on when they were young and actually pulled off some of the same styles we see on men today, like boat shoes, Ray-Bans, polo shirts, and hipster-cool hats. In honor of Father's Day, we decided to show off style snaps of some of our own dapper dads, courtesy of our fellow Sugar colleagues. Click through to see them all now, and let us know what's cool (or not so cool) about your dad's way of dress in the comments. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This is one of my favorite pictures of all time, featuring me and my dad showing off our camping style: a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt for me, and a Lacoste polo for him — back when they were simply referred to as 'alligator shirts.' Of course, no '80s look would be complete without a mustache." — Becky Kirsch, BuzzSugar editor 1 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here's a shot of my parents, circa 1971, soon after returning from a year of tooling around Europe and the Middle East in a Volkswagen camper. My dad certainly has the international drifter look nailed, down to the backpacker beard. I love the casual ease of his wide-collared shirt and flared jeans . . . and Mom's not too shabby herself, rockin' the matching vest and mini!" — Sara Yoo, contributing editor 2 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My dad was the original hipster — just look at that hat! You have to love his model pose, too." — Tara Block, TrèsSugar assistant editor 3 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My father Alan is known as 'Mr. GQ' at his office, where he sports stylish suits and classy shoes. As you can see in this photo from 1979, even when dressed down, Dad knows how to pair colors perfectly and even wears a classic shoe that is still on-trend today. Dad loved to take me shopping when I was little, and it was always a special treat." — Lisa Sugar, editor in chief 4 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here is a photo of my dad and me in the late '80s doing some typical lawn maintenance. You'll notice that he is rocking a printed deep v-neck and some fierce Ray-Ban aviators with his dark-wash jeans, whereas I'm years ahead of my time in pastel denim paired with a simple white tee. We were definitely stylin' in the countryside of Connecticut." — Grace Hitchcock, assistant community manager 6 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here is my dad, George, taking his girls on a father-daughter weekend in the YMCA's Indian Princess program. My dad was Big Oak, Lizzy was Little Oak, and I was Acorn. This photo shows me as a new member without badges, but my sister and Dad were ruling. My dad can bead a mean necklace." — Maggie Eisenberg, executive assistant, and Lizzy Eisenberg, business development, ShopStyle 6 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This is one of my favorite photos of my dad and me, taken on a trip to Nantucket when I was barely a year old. My dad hasn't had a full beard like that since I was little, but he always has that enviable tan complexion. Truthfully, he's hardly aged at all — minus the facial hair he looks the same now as he did back then." — Hannah Weil, FabSugar assistant editor 7 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I love this picture of my dad from the '90s — I think he's still wearing that white polo these days! He definitely kept it cool with seersucker shorts and showed off his practical side with the peeper keepers to hold his sunglasses around his neck." — Lauren Turner, PopSugar associate editor 8 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This is a picture of my amazing dad and me at a friend's wedding. Always in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, my dad stepped it up and looked quite dapper in a tux!" — Chelsea Sutherland, ad operations trafficker 9 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "From cowboy boots to golf polos, my dad's rocked all kinds of styles over the years — but he's always emphasized the importance of comfort. He believes that you should feel like yourself in whatever you wear, and for him, nothing beats flannel (he loved the '90s)." — Laura Given, editorial assistant 11 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here's my dad and me in the mid '80s. He's sporting a mustache, while I'm rocking a cool sweater vest. My dad, now a high school president, was a history teacher and baseball coach at the time. If you look closely, you can see he's wearing a shirt supporting the team. Also, I swear I was a happy kid." — Annie Scudder, TrèsSugar editor 11 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This is me and my dad at a Baltimore event called Hon Fest. Basically, everyone dresses up in ridiculous pink and leopard print outfits and eats crab cakes. My dad was a great sport and let me dress him up in a hot pink feather boa and leopard print hat for this picture, even though he thought the whole thing was ridiculous. He's my favorite person in the world." — Christina Sheffey, PopSugarTV 12 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here is my dad, Fred, looking very dapper in his tux while dancing with me at my wedding. All eyes were on him!" — Stacia Firestone, community manager 13 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here's a pic of my husband, Henry, and our son, Ryan. He and Daddy were sporting their dress shirts with rolled-up sleeves, for the ladies (mainly Mommy)." — Oda Sham, ad operations director 14 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My dad has always loved wearing his favorite jeans and a t-shirt. He also rocked a super-stylish beard until I was about 6 — I still remember crying the day he shaved it off." — Kim Timlick, entertainment director 15 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "With my dad, circa 1986. He had just won me the bow that I clipped so stylishly to my Osh-Kosh overalls. Twenty-five years later, he still wears a lot of Lacoste shirts and jeans, though these days I think that he definitely opts for a more 'relaxed' fit." — Lisa Horten, LilSugar associate editor 16 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This is my dad's casual male look: a button-down shirt and nice jeans. However, I much prefer him in his Summer-casual-in-Texas (where he lives) look: some jorts and a Hawaiian shirt that say 'Dave Vestal is a laid-back badass.'" — Shannon Vestal, BuzzSugar associate editor 17 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here's a picture of my ever-so-trendy dad, Wade. If one picture could sum him up, this would be it — tie-dye, Hawaiian-print board shorts, and the lake. That's one happy dad!" — Kristen Cunningham, HR coordinator 18 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here I am taking names and sporting the trendy Penguin polo shirt as a counselor-in-training at Summer camp in 1972. They still sell this label, though not with that badass '70s collar." — David Grant, president, PopSugar Studios and father of three 19 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "There's nothing better than soaking up some beach time with your family, and here, we were sunning in St. Kitts over the holidays. I would describe my dad's style as preppy casual with a SoCal sensibility — think classic polos and plaid button-ups worn with khaki shorts and his favorite pair of go-to Reefs." — Allison McNamara, FabSugarTV host 20 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My dad spent long hours at the hospital Monday-Friday wearing suits, but when weekends and vacations rolled around he was all about rugged gear in the great outdoors. Some of my earliest memories are riding in this backpack during hikes around Massachusetts and Maine. As for his look? I'm pretty sure you can get those '80s glasses at Warby Parker today." — Molly Goodson, vice president of content 21 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I think this photo pretty much sums up my dad Teddy's Summer style (as well as mine). To this day, he's usually wearing a cool logo tee or button-down with a thin gold chain and awesome sunglasses. He still owns those Ray-Ban Clubmasters, which I have yet to get my paws on." — Britt Stephens, FabSugar assistant editor 22 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I love my dad's style almost as much as his amazing personality!" — Jamaica Pinnick, production designer 23 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here's my dad and me in Montego Bay, Jamaica, during a family vacation. I would say his style is business casual, but comfortable and athletic when he plays tennis on a weekly basis." — Michelle Leon, account manager 24 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My dad was born and raised in Hawaii, thus his Summer style — and for that matter, year-round style — mainly consists of board shorts, flip flops, and surf t-shirts. But as you can see from this '94 snap, he totally stepped up his game with a Members Only-esque polo. And might I add, he was onto colorblocking way before me!" — Marisa Tom, FabSugar associate editor 25 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here is my dad, Ed, enjoying a vacation on the lake." — Brian Byrne, ad trafficker 26 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I can't decide what I love more about my dad's style in this picture: the vintage-looking leather jacket that I wish he still owned today, or the classic '70s mustache that I am very glad he doesn't own today." — Allison Shedlock, project manager 27 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I had a very dapper daddy, seen here with me circa 1982 dressed down in a Lacoste polo and Adidas warmup pants. He loved clothes and passed his passion for fashion on to me and my sister. He once let me blow my entire school clothing allowance on one outfit — a bologna-pink denim skirt and matching button-up by Guess (it was the coolest, and so was he). But love for labels aside, he often said 'a monkey in a silk suit is still a monkey', teaching me that what's on the inside, rather than clothes, is what really counts!" — Karli Bulnes, PopSugar Studios 28 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Penn State windbreakers are considered very stylish in my family." — Jill Weinstein, senior account executive 29 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My husband, Matt, is constantly mistaken as a member of the Kennedy family. Here he is looking stylish at his son Ethan's communion. He generally dresses for comfort in J.Crew tees, khakis, and flip flops, so we love to see him get all dapper for special occasions — although we think he looks great all the time!" — Eileen Carty, VP, East Coast sales 30 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This picture of me and my pops was taken at my third birthday party. You can't tell because the birthday gift is covering most of my outfit, but I was wearing a ruffled minidress, socks, and sandals. However, my fashion sense pales in comparison to my father's — how cool does my dad look with his long hair and side part?" — Chi Diem Chau, FabSugar associate editor 31 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Look how stylish my dad was with his red pants and paisley! My sister and I laugh about this picture, but I would probably wear this today." — Jeff Masters, PopSugar Studios 32 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "In general, my dad, Darwin, is a really sharp dresser, but as soon as warm weather hits in the upper Midwest, he's in some sort of Hawaiian-esque shirt. He tends to favor the really over-the-top ones that Patagonia makes. Growing up, I was a bit embarrassed by this Hawaiian shirt obsession (he tended to pair them with cutoff denim shorts, a Panama hat, and huarache sandals), but now I find it one of those ridiculous dad quirks that makes me appreciate him for the amazing oddball that he is." — Elka Karl, CasaSugar editor 33 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My dad always has that Florida laid-back cool with a tailored elegance. He taught me very early on that quality is far more important than quantity. We used to love going shopping together when I was growing up." — Lizzie Fuhr, FitSugar assistant editor 34 / 36 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Here's a pic of my dad channeling his inner Cuban and rocking a guayabera while on vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Houston Girl Scout encourages love of reading to earn Gold Award
Houston, TX – Girl Scout Sara H. worked with a summer school program in a low-income area of Houston to teach children the benefits of reading and more to earn Girl Scouts of the USA's Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can receive. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts achieve this national recognition.
"I learned a lot about leadership and being a leader who is able to take suggestions," said Sara, a homeschooled junior. "I also gained useful experience planning an event and a full day of classroom activity."
The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; it recognizes girls in grades 9 through 12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable Take Action projects. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to Go Gold, an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world.
"I chose this project because I always loved reaching as a child, and I wanted to share that love of reading with kids who otherwise might not have the opportunity," said Sara.
For her project, Sara led a team of volunteers in planning and leading classes at a local school's summer session for first and second grade students. Sara and her volunteers taught the children through hands-on activities, such as cooking, acting and drawing, to show how reading can have a practical application. Students also explored the parts of a story and book, including the title, plot, characters and more. Finally, Sara and her volunteers collected enough books through donations so each child was able to take about 20 books home each.
"Sara learned a lot about being flexible and working with changes that were beyond her control," said Diana H., Sara's mother. "I was amazed at her patience. She also learned a lot about working with and coordinating volunteers. She grew a lot and became very responsible, and we are very proud of her."
Sara has been a member of Girl Scouts for nine years. She is also a member of the Archdiocesan Youth Council, a member of her church's youth group and a member of Art of Living.

In 11 starts in the United States, Tuscan Evening has been out of the money only once against mostly graded competition. As if her consistency weren't enough, the 5-year-old Irish-bred mare reportedly is ready for her best in Monday's Grade II, $150,000 Buena Vista Handicap at one mile on turf.
"She's coming up to this better than any race," said Dan Ward, assistant to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. "She's training really good, she's very sound and very happy. She fires every time and a mile is the perfect distance for her. In seven starts at one mile on grass, she has three wins and two seconds, and one of the seconds was to (2008 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint winner) Ventura in the Grade I Matriarch, so that was no disgrace."
A daughter of Oasis Dream, Tuscan Evening has a 7-4-5 record from 22 starts, with earnings of $629,408 for owner William de Burgh of Rancho Santa Fe.
The field for the Buena Vista, which goes as the ninth race on a 10-race Presidents' Day program: Cat by the Tale, Joel Rosario, 118; Chasin Dreams, Victor Espinoza, 113; Pretty Unusual, Chantal Sutherland, 116; Czechers, Luis Medina, 114; Tuscan Evening, Rafael Bejarano, 122; Dreamalong, Tyler Baze, 114; Eissoai, Michael Baze, 113; Starlarks, Alex Solis, 118; Meydan Princess, David Flores, 115; Damaniyat Girl, Mike Smith, 114; Applause, Brice Blanc, 113; and Spring Style, Joe Talamo, 114.
Rafael Becerra is rolling the dice in Monday's San Vicente Stakes, and the 55-year-old trainer hopes they come up seven.
Becerra has entered Runaway Bandido in the Grade II race for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs, knowing full well the colt will be facing tougher rivals than he has in his previous six starts. Becerra is hoping a reunion with jockey Alonso Quinonez will be beneficial.
"I thought he'd run better in his last race," Becerra said of the bay's fourth-place finish in an optional claiming race on Jan. 17, "but he was kind of rank. I know he's in with tough horses, but we're looking forward to it. His best style is coming from a little off the pace."
Runaway Bandido, a California-bred son of Runaway Groom, has a win, a second and a third in six outings, with earnings of $61,960 for owner Judi Partridge of Brea.
The field for the San Vicente, which goes as the eighth race: Quiet Invader, Martin Garcia; Gilligan, Tyler Baze; Sidney's Candy, Joe Talamo; Classical Slew, Rafael Bejarano; Tiny Woods, Victor Espinoza; Raging Wit, Kent Desormeaux; and Runaway Bandido, Quinonez.
Patrons attending the races at Santa Anita will be treated to two new, winning restaurant deals in Santa Anita's signature FrontRunner Restaurant and in the popular Club House Terrace Wednesdays through Fridays, effective immediately.
In the Club House Terrace, for a package price of just $15.95, fans can purchase a bowl of Homemade Soup of the Day along with any one of three popular sandwiches: Santa Anita's legendary corned beef on rye, roast turkey, bacon and Havarti Club, or a grilled half-pound Angus cheeseburger, along with a slice of Today's Fruit or cream pie and choice of coffee, tea or soft drink.
In Santa Anita's highly acclaimed FrontRunner, fans who purchase any entrée, along with soup or Greek Salad, will receive a luxurious dessert of their choice, free of charge.
These great luncheon deals will be in effect through Friday, April 16. Tax and gratuity are extra. For more information, or to make a group or personal reservation, fans are encouraged to call (626) 574-7223, or to visit www.santaanita.com.
FINISH LINES: Brandie Woodfill of San Diego won first prize of $2,500 in WinVivor II, capturing the contest in just four days. ShowVivor II begins today . . . Like her fans everywhere, Jerry Moss is looking forward to Zenyatta's return in the Grade I Santa Margarita Handicap on March 13, and a subsequent meeting with Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park on April 9, if all goes well. "If we meet then, I think it's good that it's early in the campaign when both horses are fresh," said Moss, who owns Zenyatta with his wife, Ann . . . La Nez was scratched from today's Las Virgenes Stakes. "She coughed once, we took a blood count Friday morning and it showed an elevated white count," trainer Eric Kruljac said . . . Julien Leparoux is proud and grateful to have won the Eclipse Award as outstanding jockey of 2009, but says he now is "focused on winning it again this year." . . . There will be special racing on Monday, Presidents' Day. The first 10,000 fans in attendance at Santa Anita will receive a free set of Santa Anita Pint Glasses with paid admission, while supplies last. First post time is 12:30 p.m. . . .

What is the first book in the Bible?
* = Required Fields
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- A successful team has to be built on a solid foundation. None gets much more solid than 6-feet-8, 260-pound Tennessee forward Jarnell Stokes, whose size 23 shoe, basketball skill and steady off-court influence are leaving a big footprint.
Stokes is the rock of the Tennessee Volunteer basketball team, the 11th seed facing the 2nd seed Michigan Wolverines tonight in the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 in Indianapolis. The winner advances to the Elite Eight.
Stokes has been the quiet, steady type all along -- just like quiet, steady head coach Cuonzo Martin likes.
"Both of them are intense competitors with calm exteriors," Vols chaplain Roger Woods noted.
Stokes is tied for first in the nation in double doubles (22 games with double-digit rebounds and points), averaging 10.7 rebounds and 15.2 points, and he and fellow post player Jeronne Maymon (also 6-8, 260) are a double-wide mismatch inside.
A senior-laden team (starters Jordan McRae, Maymon and Antonio Barton), the tone is nevertheless set by the junior Stokes.
"He is quiet and respectful but everybody knows where Jarnell stands with his faith," Woods said. "I believe it impacts the entire team. All those guys are growing and striving."
None more than Jarnell. Former Vol post player Rob Murphy mixed it up with Stokes in practice every day during Stokes' first two years at UT. Off the court, he saw a young man (17 when he played his first game for Tennessee) clearly working to honor God.
"Jarnell is a quiet guy, reserved, but he has definitely taken the steps to live a Christ-filled life," said Murphy, who graduated in 2013 and is now athletic director and basketball coach at Concord Christian School in Knoxville. "He attends church consistently, and I can see his faith by how he lives his life day to day, how he deals with his girlfriend and the way he treats people around him. He has really invested in living a life that glorifies the Lord."
Coach Martin is a big part of that effort. In Martin's first phone call to Stokes, the coach spoke of his faith in God. "It was a very engaging conversation," Stokes told Knoxville News-Sentinel reporter Mike Griffin in a video shortly after arriving at Tennessee in December 2011. "He said he worked hard but he said he worked hard because of God. I said to myself, 'I need to check this situation out.'"
Stokes had been recruited from age 14 and had risen to the state's top prospect. A shy young man, he said recruiting "was a long hard process. With prayer comes answers. In beginning, I was thinking 'Cuonzo Martin? This guy from Missouri State? You serious?' But I walk by faith, not by sight, and I thought Tennessee was the right fit."
For Stokes, that meant mixing basketball and faith in God -- and having a godly leader.
"Coach Martin makes it very clear that he is a Christian," Murphy said. "He's very up-front about his faith, and I think that has impacted Jarnell very much. Coach Martin is careful and smart about it -- he has to be in a public institution. He gives players the option to leave before we have chapel, but we have them consistently. We have team prayer. The presence of the Lord is always around the program. Coach Martin brings glory to the Lord."
Stokes' faith has garnered attention of late as he openly -- but briefly and with poise -- voiced praise to God on nationally televised interviews after NCAA tournament games.
"He does it on his own," Woods said. "He just wants to make sure before he says anything else that he honors the Lord. He is living Matthew 6:33, 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God....' So he just says that before anything else. It's not rehearsed or stated, it's from the heart."
And it's from conviction, which he spoke of in the video more than two years ago.
"I think there should be more guys out there trying to bring faith in Jesus and not so worried about what others think about them," Stokes said. "Like Tim Tebow, who has the faith to say, 'I work hard, but God gets me where I am now.'"
Stokes earns respect when he speaks because of his work ethic. He is much improved this season, a big reason Tennessee made the tournament and has won three games so far.
"You can really see a difference in the quality of his play," Murphy said. "His fundamental base is much better. He has gotten away from some moves he used in high school that he figured out didn't work in college. His passes, his moves -- everything he does with the ball -- are at a more advanced level."
While every hard-working and successful athlete is not a Christian, Murphy said he believes Stokes' faith stokes his effort.
"I think it is impossible to be a Christian and not have it affect your work ethic," Murphy said. "He works like a man who is doing everything unto the Lord."
The work ethic extends to academics and faith. His father Willie pushed him to honors classes in high school, and the discipline positioned Stokes to graduate early and begin his college career in what should have been his high school senior year. As for faith, he learns from some of the best in Woods and Sevier Heights Baptist Church's Tim Miller. Miller leads "Inside the Walk" each Wednesday night at 9. Stokes is regularly there.
"He's been classy," Miller said. "He comes across as an extremely shy guy, but he's always made himself available to students. He always stays afterward and mingles with the crowd. He's always a gentleman in how he handles himself, even though a lot of people want to approach him.
"There is a quiet confidence about him. He has never wanted to be the center of attention. I've admired that from a distance."
The quiet confidence and low-key demeanor came through long talks and discipline from his father and some humbling experiences as an early teen.
"I was the first one to read every article that came out about Jarnell Stokes," Stokes said upon arriving at Tennessee. "I think I let it get to my head. My game started falling. I stopped doing what I was asked.
"I grew up as always the underdog. I was this big kid with the afro. I never made friends ... guys didn't like me; they said I was garbage. That adversity has pushed me through a lot. My faith in God has helped me get to where I am right now. I want to thank my dad for the long nights we talked about basketball, and the discipline. Now I appreciate it."
He has been molded by God, parents and coaches into a winner. He has influenced teammates to be winners. Stokes had a goal when he arrived. He said in December 2011:
"I've never been a loser. I know they [Tennessee basketball] are down right now. But I plan on winning."
Mission accomplished. On and off the court.

Brief Synopsis
Colonel Patrick M. O'Donogue (U.S. Army War College class of 2000) considers a topic of key importance to U.S. national security. Perhaps no security matter (with the exception of National Missile Defense) is as contentious globally as Theater Missile Defense (TMD). The question of U.S. assistance to Japan to develop and deploy a TMD is particularly complex and controversial.

Biography of Nelson Algren
Chicago writer.
Born Nelson Algren Abraham in Detroit in 1909, Algren grew up in Chicago, where he lived in the blue-collar neighborhoods of the city. After graduating from the University of Illinois in 1931, he began drifting around the country working at whatever jobs he could find until he made the decision to become a writer.
During World War II Algren served in the military as a private, and after demobilization in 1945, settled in various poor neighborhoods of Chicago, spending his time reading and writing short stories. His novel of 1949, The Man With the Golden Arm, was his biggest success, winning the National Book Award and becoming a movie. Nine years later, his second novel to be filmed was A Walk on the Wild Side. Algren's body of work, based as it is on much of the seamy side of life, is in the tradition of American social realism, so that he has been described as the poet of the underworld.
Algren moved from Chicago to Paterson, New Jersey, in 1975. He died of a heart attack in 1981.

Getting backup camera to always be ON !
Does anyone know a way to wire up your Backup Camera to always be on when your truck is running?
simply put no I dont,
but if I had to guess, maybe it could be done similar to wiring a nav system to always think the ebrake is on so you can actually use it while driving. With my wifes I hooked it to a toggle switch and grounded it so that if say I had to show it working like it was supposed to I could flip the switch off and it would function properly (can only input address with ebrake up etc). I would think if instead of it being connected to the reverse wiring (with a nav it connects to the reverse light and gets powered that way), connect it to a powered switch and just filp it on making it think its in reverse.David

When I wired my back up camera in, the instructions said to tie the camera power wire into back up light circuit (I used the wire for this purpose that was in the trailer wire harness). Unless your camera is wired significantly differently from mine, it seems like it should be as easy as finding a different, always on source for the camera power. Again, it seems like the trailer wire harness could have an accessory wire that is always on.'98 K1500 Suburban LS 5.7 L 4L60E NV246 ARB

Up to 80% of adults admit they are afraid of going to the dentist. Up to 10% are so scared; they won't go until it's out right emergency, says Dr. Lisa Heaton, who is a psychologist at the Dental Fears Research Clinic at the
"Sometimes they're afraid of the drill, sometimes they are afraid of choking or gagging," she says.
The Dental Fears Research Clinic has quietly been building research and new techniques for 26 years by combining dentistry and psychology.
"If a person is very anxious of getting hurt," says Heaton, "it can actually lower their pain threshold and make it more likely they will feel pain."
"They get broken teeth, they have decay, the have abscesses," warns Dr. Tar Chee. He is a dentist at the clinic.
Researchers have been uncovering compelling reasons to get over your fears--including a host of serious problems: diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, even death--when an infection gets so bad it literally shuts down your body.
"Anything in the head and neck area where you have pain or unusual symptoms can be attributed to a dental or tooth problems," says Chee.
Some people also get what's called "dry mouth" from medications, or from breathing through their mouth too much. It dries up saliva which contains the anti-bodies to keep your teeth healthy.
There is also what's being called a new epidemic in women in their 30's and 40's. They are developing bad dental problems because of anti-depressants in which "dry mouth" is a side effect.
To help get over dental fears and get patients in the door, the clinic has a special video that walks patients slowly through different procedures. For example: getting an injection.
Dr. Heaton says it's a process that also works for patients that have a history of abuse.
"Lying flat on your back, having people in your space, and that intimate physical contact can really bring up some of those same fears."

Deputies said the Spartanburg County SWAT team was called to the scene where deputies arrested a man they said ran away on foot after he crashed his mother's purple pickup truck into a Wellford home - even though he did not have a valid license or permission to drive.
A Spartanburg County deputy first spotted a truck believed to be connected to recent copper thefts about 7 p.m. Thursday near Brookside Village, so the officer turned around to investigate, according to a sheriff's office report.
While deputy turned around, the truck sped off, turned onto Windmill Drive then Windmill Circle where the deputy found the pickup had plowed into a home, the report said.
As the deputy pulled up, he said the driver ran away. The deputy spoke with two passengers, who identified the driver, according to the report.
Deputies said when they ran his name through their system, he did not have a valid license. Deputies said they also found an opened bottle of liquor in the truck.
While investigating the wreck, the truck's owner showed up, deputies said. She lives down the road and was also the driver's mother, according to the report.
She told deputies her son did not have permission to drive the truck because his license was suspended and because the truck was uninsured, the report said.
Deputies said they tried to find the homeowner, but neighbors said it was in probate court and the home was vacant.
One passenger was arrested on an outstanding shoplifting warrant and warrants were signed for the driver, identified as 26-year-old Harland Baker, deputies said.
Deputies said they were dispatched to a home on Balsam Lane in the Woodruff area early Sunday morning, after receiving a tip that Baker was hiding out there.
Deputies said Baker shouted obscenities at them from inside the house, but would not willingly come out or open the door.
Deputies said based on Baker's violent history and possible gang affiliation, they called a SWAT team and negotiators to the scene.
After several unsuccessful negotiation attempts, the SWAT team fired gas into the house, according to reports, and Baker soon surrendered.
Deputies determined three other people were in the house, but were not injured. According to reports, those people were identified and released.
Baker appeared before judge Sunday afternoon where he was given a $6,049 bond on his charges of reckless driving, driving under suspension third offense, operating a vehicle without registration, open container in a vehicle and use of a vehicle without permission.

Challenging 'He Said, She Said' Journalism
Instead of striving for balance, a veteran Supreme Court reporter asks, 'How about truth for a goal?'
By Linda Greenhouse
2009 story in The New York Times
about a dispute involving Fox News described the cable network as "a channel with a reputation for having a conservative point of view in much of its programming."
Join the conversation on twitter using the hashtag
That phrase "with a reputation" put the reporter, and the newspaper, at arm's length from the fact that the Fox News Channel does have a conservative point of view, and proudly so.
What was the purpose of that distancing phrase?
2011 New York Times article
, typical of many others, referred to Jared Loughner as "the man accused of opening fire outside a Tucson supermarket." Whether the Tucson shooter is guilty of murder is a legal question, but there is no question at all about his identity as the man who shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and killed six people. We don't have to say "accused of"—he did the deed in front of dozens of witnesses.
I'm not picking on the Times—the newspaper I read most carefully as well as the place I worked for 40 years. And although it is attacked, most often from the right but not infrequently from the left, for various kinds of bias, it actually, in both its performance and its ideals, epitomizes the commitment of mainstream journalism to the goals of fairness and objectivity.
'We may not have a journalism of truth because we haven't demanded one,' the cultural critic Neal Gabler wrote in response to the media's performance in covering the health care debate.
This is nothing new. Adolph Ochs, the founding publisher of the modern New York Times, whose byword was "without fear or favor," believed that a responsible newspaper should "report all sides of a controversial issue, and let the reader decide the truth," according to a reminiscence written a couple of years ago for internal distribution to the Times staff.
In this article, I will raise some questions about the assumption behind that credo, as well as the utility, in this media-saturated and cynical age, of the siren call of "fairness and objectivity."
Inside the profession of journalism, there has been a lively debate going on for years over whether the "he said, she said" format, designed to avoid taking sides on contentious issues, impedes rather than enhances the goal of informing the reader.
This debate comes up most often during political campaigns, and many press critics and commentators have pointed out how superficial and subject to manipulation that format can be in the context of a campaign. For that reason, many news organizations now publish or post "fact-check" boxes that vet the accuracy of political ads or of candidates' assertions during debates.

Loaded Words
It's more challenging to question the "he said, she said" norm in other contexts. For instance, some people—many people—consider waterboarding to be torture, and they refer to it that way. But others cling to the notion that it is not torture. What is a news organization to do?
NPR has chosen to use "harsh interrogation tactics" or "enhanced interrogation techniques" instead of "torture" when reporting stories about waterboarding and other coercive practices used to interrogate terrorism suspects. When listeners pushed back, Alicia C. Shepard, NPR ombudsman at the time, responded that she agreed with the network. "The problem is that the word torture is loaded with political and social implications,"
she wrote on her blog
, adding: "NPR's job is to give listeners all perspectives, and present the news as detailed as possible and put it in context." Because using the word torture would amount to taking sides, reporters should instead "describe the techniques and skip the characterization" entirely, she said.
Again, that may be an easy example, because it's binary—use the word torture, or avoid it. How about a complex event or situation that requires the reporter to make a series of judgments in order to describe adequately and assign priorities to such factors as motivation, relationships among actors, or likely consequences.
Paul Taylor, a former political reporter for The Washington Post, had this to say in his trenchant book, "
See How They Run: Electing the President in an Age of Mediaocracy
Sometimes I worry that my squeamishness about making sharp judgments, pro or con, makes me unfit for the slam-bang world of daily journalism. Other times I conclude that it makes me ideally suited for newspapering—certainly for the rigors and conventions of modern 'objective' journalism. For I can dispose of my dilemmas by writing stories straight down the middle. I can search for the halfway point between the best and the worst thing that can be said about someone (or some policy or idea) and write my story in that fair-minded place. By aiming for the golden mean, I probably land near the best approximation of truth more often than if I were guided by any other set of compasses—partisan, ideological, psychological, whatever … Yes, I'm seeking truth. But I'm also seeking refuge. I'm taking a pass on the toughest calls I face.
Jay Rosen
, a press critic and journalism professor at New York University, calls the phenomenon that Taylor describes "regression toward a phony mean."
Joan Didion
, way back in 1996, referred to "fairness" as a "familiar newsroom piety" and "benign ideal" that operates as "the excuse in practice for a good deal of autopilot reporting and lazy thinking." What it often means, she wrote, "is a scrupulous passivity, an agreement to cover the story not as it is occurring but as it is presented, which is to say as it is manufactured."
In that same year, 1996, the Society of Professional Journalists dropped "objectivity" from
its ethics code
, a development understood to reflect the fact that there had ceased to be, if there ever was, a common understanding within the profession of what objective reporting consists of.
A leading commentary on the modern practice of journalism, "
The Elements of Journalism
," by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, omits "fairness" and "objectivity" from its list of the 10 basic elements of journalism, described as "clear principles that journalists agree on—and that citizens have a right to expect." Why the omissions? "Familiar and even useful" as the idea of fairness and balance may be, the authors say, the very concept "has been so mangled" as to have become part of journalism's problem, rather than a solution to perceived problems of bias and partiality.
Brent Cunningham
, deputy editor of the Columbia Journalism Review, has observed that despite this discontent and self-reflection, "nothing replaced objectivity as journalism's dominant professional norm." In fact, he notes, "a cottage industry of bias police has sprung up," leading to "hypersensitivity among the press to charges of bias," which in turn reinforces the problematic adherence to a standard of "objectivity" that "can trip us up on the way to 'truth.'"
Truth. How about truth for a goal? "We may not have a journalism of truth because we haven't demanded one," the cultural critic
Neal Gabler
wrote in response to the media's performance in covering the health care debate. He noted that by simply reporting the latest guided missile from Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh, the media "marshal facts, but they don't seek truth. They behave as if every argument must be heard and has equal merit, when some are simply specious."
Why is it just so difficult to make the search for truth the highest journalistic value?
Well, for one thing, the notion that there exists one Truth exists in some tension with core First Amendment values. After all, "the First Amendment recognizes no such thing as a 'false' idea," the Supreme Court tells us. The familiar image of the marketplace of ideas suggests ideas competing freely for public favor, unvetted, unranked and unregulated by some superintending power.
For another thing, the word "truth" lacks a single definition. To report, without elaboration, a politician's charge concerning the "death panels" in the health care bill is—assuming the politician is quoted accurately—certainly to report the truth. Does such a report convey a more useful or meaningful truth, the contextual truth of the situation? Obviously not. But just as obviously, it would not require a correction.
In "The Elements of Journalism," Kovach and Rosenstiel make a distinction between two kinds of truth: correspondence and coherence. "For journalism, these tests roughly translate into getting the facts straight and making sense of the facts." They call for a "journalism of verification" to replace a "journalism of assertion": "A more conscious discipline of verification is the best antidote to being overrun by a new journalism of assertion."
Fairness and objectivity should be regarded as tools to that end, they maintain, rather than as ends in themselves.
The 'Other Side'
The following is a case study in what I regard as the perils of the journalism of assertion, as practiced by our finest newspaper.
Over the last few years, the name David B. Rivkin started showing up in the columns of The New York Times. For example, in August 2006, when a federal district judge in Detroit declared that the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program was unconstitutional, Rivkin had this to say
in the Times
: "It is an appallingly bad opinion, bad from both a philosophical and technical perspective, manifesting strong bias." Rivkin was identified as "an official in the administrations of President Ronald Reagan and the first President Bush."
There was no indication of what might have given him the "philosophical perspective" to criticize this court decision so forcefully, or of what evidence he possessed of "strong bias" on the part of the judge, Anna Diggs Taylor.
When another judge ruled that some prisoners held by the United States at the Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan had the right to petition for habeas corpus,
"warned that the ruling 'gravely undermined' the country's 'ability to detain enemy combatants for the duration of hostilities worldwide.' " This time he was identified as "an associate White House counsel in the administration of the first President Bush." Since that administration had ended 16 years earlier, I wondered what current expertise Rivkin possessed that led him to make such a harsh assessment of this new decision.
A check of the Times database reveals that since 2006, Rivkin has been quoted at least 31 times in articles concerning the detainees at Guantanamo Bay (12 times), detainees at Bagram, executive privilege and presidential authority, targeted killing, Iraq, Abu Ghraib, the performance of Attorney General Michael Mukasey, and the Central Intelligence Agency and its interrogation policies. The descriptions of his role and his implied expertise varied from story to story, but the quote was always to the same effect: a strong defense of President Bush and his policies.
To the extent that Rivkin has any relevant expertise, the basis for it is not disclosed on his law firm's website, which contains
a lengthy biography
. A partner in the international law firm of Baker Hostetler, he is identified as a "member of the firm's litigation, international and environmental groups." The entry describes him as having "in-depth experience with various constitutional issues that are frequently implicated by federal regulatory statutes, including commerce clause-, appointments clause-, and due process-related issues, as well as First and Tenth amendment-related matters."
His qualifications for practicing law in these areas are not evident: During his federal government service in the Reagan and first Bush administrations, he worked on domestic regulatory issues,with a specialty in oil and natural gas. He worked in the Office of Policy Development in the Justice Department and worked for Vice President Bush as legal adviser to the counsel to the vicepresident, later becoming special assistant for domestic policy to Vice President Dan Quayle and associate general counsel in the Department of Energy.
The more I read, the more mystified I became.
An article
on the prospect that President Obama might transfer some Guantanamo detainees to the United States included a warning from Rivkin that classified information might be made public during trials in civilian courts—"a danger that David B. Rivkin, an official in the Reagan Justice Department, calls 'the conviction price.' "
I should note that Rivkin's usefulness extends beyond the pages of the Times. A
Washington Post analysis
of the release of the so-called torture memos included this paragraph: "David B. Rivkin Jr., a lawyer at Baker Hostetler who supported the detainee policies, says the memos' 'careful and nuanced legal analysis' … produced 'eminently reasonable results.' " I give the Post writer credit for identifying Rivkin as a lawyer in private practice who simply supports one side of the issue.
Rivkin even showed up in
a New York Times cultural feature about the documentary "Taxi to the Dark Side,"
which took a highly critical stance toward the Bush administration's interrogation policies. Rivkin, introduced to readers as "a lawyer in the administrations of President Ronald Reagan and the first President Bush," becomes the voice of the "other side" in an account of the film and interview with the filmmaker. "It's pretty clear that it's not policy and it's pretty clear that these things are prosecuted," Rivkin is quoted as saying. The article goes on: "Mr. Rivkin said the military's performance by historical standards has been quite good in the recent conflicts. 'In all the good wars,' he said, 'we have had some pretty bad records.' "
How was it that Rivkin had emerged, Zelig-like, into daily journalism? I asked reporters who had quoted him whether they had called him for a quote or whether he had called them. (I omit the names of the reporters because they did not expect to be identified in an article.)
"He reached out," one told me, noting that "I've known him a long time."
Another said he had been referred to Rivkin by a conservative think tank.
"I called him," another said. "I have quoted him a few times in the weird role of surrogate for the Bush administration. … It was to the point that Bush administration officials would suggest him when they chose not to speak for themselves on Gitmo."
From another reporter: "I called Rivkin, who has been defending the Bush policies for so long (especially interrogation) that he knows them as well as the human rights folks." Noting that the article contained criticism of the policies, the reporter added: "I thought it would be unfair not to make the opposite point."
I probably don't have to tell you what I think of this kind of "reporting." I find it particularly troubling to use Rivkin to criticize federal court decisions. When a federal district judge issues a decision, there is no "other side" to the story—the decision is the decision. The "other side" is contained in the briefs presenting the argument that the judge rejected. But digging up the briefs, reading them, and summarizing them takes more work than accepting an ad hominem sound bite from someone willing to answer any call.
I actually don't mean to be critical of Rivkin, a man with whom I have a perfectly pleasant personal relationship. As a surrogate, a "go-to proxy," he is simply filling a role assigned to him by reporters and—let's assume—editors who accept unquestionably the notion that every story has another side that it is journalism's duty to present. But there is another side to that story, too—one that calls on journalists to do their best to provide not just the facts, but also—always—the truth.

Challenging 'He Said, She Said' Journalism

"Putting aside the raucous debates about objectivity for a moment, it is clear that journalists in many circumstances can research and relay to their readers information about verifiable fact," we wrote last year. Appeals to truth are attractive, but not useful. Drawing the line at verifiable fact, however, is useful, because it is both limited and clean. It preserves the advantages of the current "he said, she said" approach by offering the journalist plausible deniability through a reliance on expert organizations and peer-reviewed scientific research. And, it removes the reporter (as much as possible) from charges that he is biased, because he can answer a charge by indicating that he relied on an expert organization and no other reputable non-biased organization or peer-review study, among other sources, existed to rebut the fact.

I've struggled with this concept of "truth" in journalism in my years as a reporter and editor and now as a journalism instructor. Journalist feel most comfortable covering "all sides" of an issue. I thought today's New York Times article on Romney's role in Bain tripped over itself trying to be "objective". The author writes that "definitive proof remains elusive" about what Romney did and when he did it. Where does "definitive" sit on the journalism proof line? Proof beyond a reasonable doubt, as it required in criminal cases? Proof beyond the preponderance of evidence, as is needed in civil cases? Other news reports, one from the Associated Press, were much more "definitive" in showing that, despite Romney's assertion, his fingerprints were all over Bain when he said he was not involved.
We need to try apply the common sense rule and move away from, he said, she said.
Otherwise, we end up with news stories like this:
"Humans are believed to have walked on the moon but there are skeptics who argue that it was all staged in a Hollywood studio."

Excellent. I think journalists picked on Rivkin many times for the easy way out. He's well known, speaks his mind on the truth he knows, instead of searching out truth themselves because it's time-consuming. And since Rivkin served in politics makes him a lightning rod for contentious debates and delicious albeit, Hollywood type, reporting which Americans crave.
I write for the Cancer site at BellaOnline.com, and I am determined to tell the truth. As Denzel said in Courage Under Fire- "the cold, hard-whole truth". I can't help anyone if I don't. I present the good truth and the ugly truth. But at least I know people who are suffering enough already will have a better chance of quality of life. I am a volunteer- no man owns me, so the truth it will remain to be.
If not, we all may as well escape into a Disney movie (whom I love) into fantasy. At that point we will certainly be crushed by all dark truth.

Woman Drowns in Pit River
Updated On: Jan 06 2013 06:59:23 PM CST
A 35-year-old woman apparently drowned in the Pit River in Big Bend.
The name of the woman has not been released by authorities but her boyfriend, along with Big Bend locals, said it's Elizabeth Beil.
Her boyfriend, Seabrook Leaf, said she enjoyed science and nature.
He said she went on a walk Friday afternoon to study animal trackings. When it started to get late and she had not returned, he started to worry.
Shasta County Sheriff's deputies were called to the scene that night but couldn't find her.
They came back Saturday, along with Search and Rescue members, California Highway Patrol Air Operations and Shasta Air to continue the search.
Deputies requested for PG&E to modify the flow of the river so they could see more of the shoreline.
They eventually found Beil around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Beil lived and worked with Leaf at the Big Bend Hot Springs for a little less than a year.
Locals said she was a free spirit with a good heart who cared about the land and nature.
Leaf said Beil was an amazing woman who had roots in Florida and New Jersey.
There is no report of foul play.

Their blatant disregard for the truth is rooted in their drive to build the California sector of the prison industrial slave complex.
