Pope Pius and 'the other'
By BRIAN R. FREEDMAN
06/13/2012 21:16
I realized that he believes that Pope Pius XII was a righteous man who did everything to save Jewish lives during Holocaust.
Pope Benedict XVI waves as he gives Urbi et Orbi

This was never more evident than at a recent meeting in Jerusalem about Jewish-Catholic relations, in which a Swiss cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church addressed the issue along with two rabbis. But before putting in my two shekels, first a personal anecdote.
At dinner a few nights ago, a Catholic friend of mine put forth the following claim: the Jewish curators of Yad Vashem purposely tarnished the image of Pope Pius XII as revenge on the Catholic Church for its long and macabre history of persecuting Jews.
Any attempt to refute his claim would miss the point.
As Rabbi David Bollag said at the meeting on Jewish- Catholic relations, which took place on May 25 at the Jerusalem Center for Israel Studies: "The importance of the dialogue is to listen what the other side has to say."
And so, after listening to my friend, I realized that he believes unequivocally that Pope Pius XII was a righteous man who did everything in his power to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Therefore, any claim to the contrary must be a malicious smear campaign against his virtuous pope.
It is therefore understandable that my friend, a religious Catholic, is indignant toward how Yad Vashem portrays Pius XII, under whose picture there is a caption that explicitly condemns the pope's silence during the Holocaust.
One sentence reads: "Even when reports about the murder of Jews reached the Vatican, the Pope did not protest either verbally or in writing."
It is not my intention to argue for or against the virtue of Pope Pius XII. Suffice it to say that it is a good example of the complex and mercurial relationship between Jews and Catholics.
ANOTHER MANIFESTATION of this controversial issue was witnessed in 2009 after current Pope Benedict XVI bestowed Pius XII with the title of "Venerable" which, according to the Catholic canonization process, declaimed his Heroic Virtue and moved Pius XII one step closer to sainthood.
Many leaders of prominent Jewish organizations were flummoxed, and some,including the president of the World Zionist Congress, the founder of Simon Wiesenthal Center and the chairman of Yad Vashem, were incensed. As they viewed it, it was an insensitive and provocative gesture that offends Jewish memory and, more importantly, living Holocaust survivors.
Other critics of this move said it was premature to grant Pius XII such an honorific because the documents in the Vatican Secret Archives that pertain to the life of Pius XII had not yet been opened. The Vatican releases documents 75 years after an event occurs, meaning documents about Pius XII will open in 2014.
This debate also takes place in scholarship. On one side, there is a book entitled Hitler's Pope: the Secret History of Pius XII, which was written in 1999 by British journalist John Cornwell, whose general argument is that Pius XII could have done more to save Jewish lives.
On the other side, there is a book published in 2008 and written by German historian Michael Heseman, which bears the title The Pope who Defied Hitler: The Truth about Pius XII. In 2010, after gaining privileged access to Vatican archives, Heseman revealed that Pius XII, then a cardinal, requested that 200,000 Jews be allowed to leave Germany after Kristallnacht.
Another book, written by none other than a rabbi and historian, David G. Dalin, carries the title: The Myth of Hitler's Pope: How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews from he Nazis. The book was published in 2005.
The point is that the Holocaust remains an open wound in Jewish-Catholic relations, which explains clearly the reason Swiss Cardinal Kurt Koch, who is also the head of the Pontifical Commission for Religious Relations with Jews, expended much breath on the issue during his 10-minute, prepared address on May 25 at the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies.
On one hand, he said that the Catholic Church must admit that Christians were complicit in the perpetration of the Holocaust. However, he took great pains to renounce Adolph Hitler as a Catholic, thus isolating him as a pariah and doubtless not a representative of the Church.
More importantly, Koch noted that the Holocaust was a turning point in Jewish-Catholic relations, forcing the Catholic Church to reconsider its attitudes toward the Jews. This resulted in the Second Vatican Council, which took place from 1962-1965 and produced the document, Nostra Aetate, which was a manifesto for the Church's new attitude toward non-Christian religions.
Among other noteworthy comments, it exculpates Jews from the murder of Jesus. It also recognizes the similarities between Jews, Muslims and Christians, as all being sons of God. In the spirit of this document, Koch notes in his address "Christianity couldn't exist without its Jewish roots" and that "with Judaism, we have a relationship that we do not have with any other religion."
He also admitted that there may be two parallel paths to salvation, and that the Jewish path may be just as legitimate as the Christian one.
RABBI DAVID Bollag, a senior researcher at the Institute of Jewish-Christian Research in Lucerne, Switzerland, was asked to respond to Cardinal Koch's remarks.
In them two thing were apparent.
First was the refusal of Jews to disassociate the Catholic Church from the Holocaust. Bollag argued that there was a strong connection between the development of Nazism and centuries-old Christian anti- Semitism. He further argues that Nostra Aetate would not have been born had the Catholic Church not felt responsible for the Holocaust. The idea that the Catholic Church played a central role in the Holocaust reverberates in Jewish dismay at the sanctification of Pius XII and also Yad Vashem's negative portrayal of him and the Catholic Church.
The second issue that was apparent was hypocrisy.
Bollag took advantage of his audience with the cardinal to air his consternation with the Catholic Church's "Good Friday" prayer for the Jews.
Having undergone many revisions, the prayer in its most current version, as articulated by Pope Benedict XVI reads: "Let us also pray for the Jews: That our God and Lord may illuminate their hearts, that they acknowledge Jesus Christ is the Savior of all men.
Almighty and eternal God, who wants that all men be saved and come to the recognition of the truth, propitiously grant that even as the fullness of the peoples enters Thy Church, all Israel be saved. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen."
Bollag criticized this version as a major step backward in Jewish-Christian relations, as the prayer clearly exhibits a lack of respect for the Jewish religion. Bollag was suggesting the Church has not learned the lessons of the Holocaust, and that rather than extricating anti-Semitism from its roots, the Church through this prayer is actually disseminating anti-Semitism throughout the Catholic world.
Cardinal Koch responded to Bollag's criticism, arguing that Bollag took the prayer out of its eschatological context. He said that the prayer refers exclusively to Judgment Day, during which Jewish tradition states that their Messiah will come and save them.
According to Koch, their Messiah, although currently unbeknownst to Jews, will actually be Jesus Christ, whom the Christian hope the Jews will accept at that time.
The hypocrisy in Bollag's statement was revealed by an audience member, of which there were about 200.
The man rightly noted that the Jewish prayer of "Aleinu," which is the second most recited prayer in Jewish liturgy after the Kaddish, is read in Israel with the following verse: "It is our duty to praise the Master of all to ascribe greatness to the Author of creation; who has not made us like the nations of the lands nor placed us like the families of the earth; who has not made our portion like theirs, nor our destiny like all their multitudes. For they worship vanity and emptiness, and pray to a god who cannot save."
The audience member noted that in many American synagogues this verse is omitted, but he was pointing to the fact that both religions, Judaism and Christianity, are particularistic and view their path as the only path. It seems the only difference is that some Christians feel obliged to "save" non-Christians from deviating from the path, while some Jews view their religion more as an exclusive club. You want in, great! If not, it's your problem.
In the end, it is my opinion that while I applaud Rabbi Bollag' s call to "listen to what the other has to say," each side must also engage in self-reflection and, in a sense, listen to what "his or her own side" is saying.
This is what led me not to dismiss outright my Catholic friend's indignation at his beloved pope's portrayal at Yad Vashem. While I believe the charge of deliberate besmirching is a bit far-fetched, it is entirely possible that the Jewish attitude toward Pius XII is jaundiced. Maybe when the Vatican archives open in 2014, Jews worldwide will do some self-reflection and reconsider their views on "Hitler's Pope."

The mission of the Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center Podiatric Medicine & Surgery - 36 (PM&S-36) is to train residents as health professionals who are involved in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot and ankle disorders by medical, physical and surgical means. The program provides for podiatric training in a multidisciplinary setting where the residents can gain experience working with and along side other medical practitioners in providing total health care.
The residency program is designed to provide an intensive clinical experience, which supplements the resident's previous podiatric medical experience. This is a podiatric training program in a major teaching facility; the responsibilities placed on the residents will be substantial and challenging. The program is a CPME accredited Podiatric Medicine & Surgery - 36 (PM&S-36) program, the first year of training being completed at the John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County. The residents will participate in rotations involving anesthesiology, emergency medicine, infectious disease, orthopedic surgery, general surgery, outpatient podiatry clinics, in-patient podiatry management, and podiatric surgery.

text: Everything in life strives toward balance, from the wind pressure in the atmosphere to the chemical processes in your cells. Things need to reach an equilibrium with their environment. Furthermore, like in Isaac Newton's laws, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, or, in a larger sense, everything has its opposite counterpart. These can be as obvious as night and day or as abstract as good and bad. The universal equilibrium is between any of these two given pairs of opposites. The worst possible state is in excess of one of these pairs. Again, and obvious example would be night and day. It would be disastrous if it was solely day or solely night, solely summer or solely winter, and other things like that. Good and bad is harder to understand in this sense, we have been taught at a young age to strive solely for good, but those of us who have lived know it is often difficult to make the purely good choice in every situation we run into. There are some people who lean more toward one or the other, but the equilibrium is still maintained. For every Gandhi there is a Hitler. Also important to understand, "good" and "bad" are abstract, flexible concepts, and one cannot exist without the other. If the concept of "bad" didn't exist, there would be no concept of "good". If there were no lies, there'd be no truth. If there was no death, there would be no meaning to life. People can strive solely for one extreme or the other, but this is often futile. The only thing to come of it is further imbalance, stress, and dissatisfaction. Nothing should be taken in excess. Even "good" can be "bad" in excess. Sometimes, striving for one extreme can cause bouncing between the two extremes. Instead of fighting toward one extreme, strive for balance. Have both "good" and "bad" in your life, and learn how to use both. Hate can be balanced with love, happiness can be balanced with sadness, pride can be balanced with humility, greed can be balanced with generosity, and extravagance can be balanced with simplicity. To have only one of the two extremes would make you half a human. We need both, but the key is balance. It's okay to be self-serving if you also know how to give to those with less than you. It's okay to hate, if you also know how to love those who need it. It's okay to be cruel, if you also know how to show compassion to those who deserve it. Under careful examination, "good" and "bad" become fluid to a point where they are almost non-existent. One action may be acceptable in one situation and wrong in another. Really, there is no "good" and "bad", there is just action coupled with an equal and opposite reaction.

Criminal Justice
Prosecutor Removes Ash from Forehead at Request of Judge
Posted Feb 22, 2010 10:21 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A defense lawyer objected last Wednesday when an Iowa prosecutor returned to an attempted murder trial after a lunch break with ash on his forehead.
Assistant Marshall County Attorney Paul Crawford was observing Ash Wednesday, the Marshalltown, Iowa, Times-Republican reports. Defense lawyer Aaron Hawbaker objected, saying he feared jurors could be swayed for or against the prosecution by the religious display.
Judge Michael Moon said he tended to agree with the defense objection, spurring Crawford to remove the ash, the story says. "I understand his position and his request was made out of an abundance of caution," Crawford told the newspaper. "I can live with it."
Rob Boston, a spokesperson for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, told the Times-Republican that the issue involves a gray area. In some instances, a display of religious preferences can be the basis for an appeal or mistrial, but he was unsure if this instance would meet the criteria.

The source also said Miami is the front-runner for Troy Murphy. The Heat will have to cut as many players as they sign, and the source said Carlos Arroyo and Jamaal Magloire are the likeliest candidates.

Saw it out of the Bibby article. I kinda want to see Murphy join the Heat to see what he can do in that rotation. He'll probably get 10 minutes or so a night backing up Bosh, but I want to see if he's still got it and it was just Avery killing him, or is he really done at this point.
Oh, and cutting Magloire for Murphy

Here is a series of images. I'm working and progressing through them, but I'm not sure where its going,,I prefer the last one cropped in BW, but still a work in progress! I don't like the bushes in the front, they seem distracting to me so I cropped them out.
First version 3 images blended and lightened foreground
Second version cropped but still unhappy with this
3rd version,,prefer the BW but not sure if this is enough!

Perhaps it's just me, but I much prefer the first version with the bushes. When you pull them out it's almost as if the image is overly cropped.

· Gods light in Oregon-Not sure where I'm going with this
I wouldn't concern myself with the bushes regarding crop choices as they don't pertain to the "What's the point?" "What's the message that you want to convey to your viewer?"
Bushes or no bushes, I don't base my decisions on them. Rather, relate to my message, then apply concepts of scale, mass, leading, lines, etc. to enhance or mitigate attributes as needed to best present my desired message that I want to convey. If the bushes are a detractor, then I aspire to mitigate their detraction. Cropping is one way, sharpness, blur, sat/desat, dodge/burning tonal value, etc. are additional ways to enhance/minimize the impact an area has on the image.
The fact that you "lightened" the foreground in the first one means you intentionally drew our attention more to the foreground. Why did you draw attention to the foreground, if your primary message is about the light rays?
A few things come to mind. One is my usual color correction perspective at the blue tree. The mono of course mitigates this, but I'm wondering if you neutralize the tree, you'll warm the overall, which could add some "goldenness" to the light rays or the scene in general. Two is the saturation looks a bit overcooked. Three, I think that the crop helps with the weighting @ scale/mass relative to the area for the rays (bushes or not).
Your title says a lot ... which is why I lean so heavily on "What's the point?" "What's the message that I want to convey to the viewer?" To me, it serves as your starting point at true north for making your finishing/pp decisions. Without it, it is easy to be less certain as to your direction for an image.
BTW ... I'm really diggin, the distinction of those rays. Would like to see the raw/sooc from which you are working and a bit larger also.

For me, leave the bushes in the foreground. The bushes provide a leading diagonal line upwards from the left side towards God's rays but I prefer the tonal values in the 2nd version best. I might consider warming it slightly overall. You have captured excellent sun rays and I think the image has potential. It might be one of those images where you're never 100% satisfied with the image but it still becomes one of our favorites.

Took a stab at a few things ... kinda small after the crop, but hopefully it still represents some concepts. Kinda in line with Barbara @ diff tonal values of foreground, leading lines of bushes and warmer. A little more drama with a kiss of gamma in the second one. As always, S&P to taste.
Your vision for your image will of course be your way ... but first you gotta know your direction for the image before you can begin to take it there. Yet another one of those that was surely more incredible in person than on film ... those are always the toughies to convey the presence (see Bob for more @ presence) of what it was like to be there. Such was a goal of Adams that he was more concerned @ presenting/conveying presence than recording/presenting a technically accurate image. It took me a few decades before that concept finally started to penetrate my thick head ... still working on it.

Olympic Lyon
'Galacticos' in Hell
March 22, 2010
It has become a sign of spring: as swallows crowd the sky over Madrid, Real is eliminated at the knock-out stage of the European Champions League. Yet again, the richest club in the world has spent obscene amounts of money with the sole intention of winning the most important club competition in the world, but on March 10, they were knocked out from the last 16 for the sixth year in a row (in 2003, they were eliminated from the last eight). This time, they were brought low by Olympic Lyon, who beat them at home and tied them in Madrid.

But for many of those years, the concern was that the parties were too much alike and philosophically undefined.
For instance, if you said the word "Democrat" in the 1950s, you might be describing a Southern segregationist or a left-wing Northeasterner. Republicans for decades were united primarily by their views on economic issues, tolerating a broad range of opinion on the social ones and on national security.
Now, the opposite is true. Party labels have become a shorthand for a rigid ideological dividing line — Democrats to the left, and Republicans to the right.
And the clout of the parties has receded even more quickly in recent years, thanks to the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign finance law that cut off their access to unregulated contributions known as "soft money," and the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which opened up the spigot for fund to flow to outside groups.
"The law isn't the explanation for the weaknesses of the parties, but the law has accelerated their struggles," said one top Democratic National Committee official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.
Political parties increasingly are being outmatched in resources and organization by special-interest groups or those, such as the tea party, devoted more to furthering a cause than achieving electoral victory.
As a result, the parties are no longer as able as they once were to protect their incumbents from ideologically-driven primary challenges, to define their messages or even to keep up with technology.
Last year, for instance, the parties spent a total of $228 million on independent efforts to boost their candidates, primarily with ads. That was well under half the $631 million spent by the so-called "super PACs" that have sprung up since the Citizens United decision, according to figures compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.

Middle Blockers Lead Eagles to Comeback Win Over Belmont
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Despite dropping the first two games, the Florida Gulf Coast University volleyball team scratched and clawed their way back to win a non-conference match at Belmont, 3-2 (16-25, 20-25, 25-20, 25-21, 16-14) Saturday afternoon at the Curb Event Center.
With the win the Eagles improve to 3-10 overall, while the Bruins drop to 6-11 on the season.
After the teams battled to a 10-10 tie to start game one, the Bruins used a 15-6 run to take the set, 25-16. Freshman Jessica Barnes (Winter Haven, Fla./Haines City HS) and senior Caitlin Shawver (Lauderdale by the Sea, Fla./Barry/Northeast HS) each registered three kills as the Eagles hit just .167 to Belmont's .441.
The Bruins took an early 13-7 lead in game two, forcing FGCU to burn a timeout. After the timeout, the Eagles clawed their way to within three points (18-15) thanks to kills from senior Adrianne McNally (Howell, Mich./Pinckney HS) and freshman Camil Dominguez (Santo Domingo, D.R./Santa Teresita). FGCU continued to battle, but Belmont held off the Eagles to pick up the game two win, 25-20. Belmont outhit FGCU .323-.233 in the set.
The teams went back and forth in the beginning of game three and with the score tied at 8-8, the Eagles used a 11-4 run to take a 19-12 lead and seize control of the set. The run was highlighted by kills from McNally, seniors Chelsea Lyles (Colorado Springs, Col./Western Nebraska CC/Harrison HS) and Jacqueline Cowden (Danville, Calif./Temple/Monte Vista HS) and sophomore Brittany Muse (Arcadia, Fla./DeSoto County HS). The Blue and Green would go on to hold off the Bruins and win game three (25-20). The Eagles hit .200 for the set, while limiting Belmont to a .043 hitting percentage.
The Eagles jumped out to a commanding 19-13 lead after a kill from Lyles. A 4-1 run by Belmont got the Bruins within three points at 20-17, but FGCU continued their solid play and took the game 25-21. A kill from Muse sealed the set for the Blue and Green.
In the deciding game, the Eagles continued their solid play. A kill from Danielle Prochaska gave Belmont a 14-13 lead and forced FGCU to call a timeout. The Blue and Green responded in a big way and scored three consecutive points off of kills from Cowden, Muse and Shawver to win the deciding set 16-14 and take the match.
McNally finished with 13 kills and five digs while Cowden registered her first double-double as an Eagle with 10 kills and 10 digs. Lyles, Muse and Barnes each chipped in with seven kills. Dominguez recorded her third career double-double of the season with 45 assists and 11 digs while junior Holly Youngquist (Estero, Fla./Evangelical Christian) registered a team-high 19 digs.
The Eagles will be back in action Sunday afternoon (Sept. 26) when they face the defending Atlantic Sun champs Lipscomb in non-conference action at 2 p.m. With the league approving single round-robin play for regular season matches this year, FGCU's road matches against Belmont and Lipscomb in September will not count in conference standings.
FGCU's next home tilt will be October 15 when they host the Owls of Kennesaw State at Alico Arena at 6 p.m.

By WILSON RING
Associated Press
---- — MONTPELIER, Vt. — Lake Champlain continued to recede Friday from near-flood levels never before seen in midsummer that have left some areas along the shoreline under water and hazards like floating logs in the middle of the lake, officials say.
But the higher water levels have also had some benefits because in some areas prone to boat groundings, the deeper water is keeping those obstacles safely submerged, officials said.
At the Burlington ferry docks, only one lane for boarding vehicles was completely free of water on Friday, but the water wasn't deep, and crews were managing to load the ferries without any problems, said Margaret Campbell, the assistant operations manager for the Lake Champlain Transportation Company, which runs three ferry routes between Vermont and New York.
"You don't typically have water like this in July," she said.
Flood stage for Lake Champlain is considered to be 100 feet above sea level. Last week, the lake reached a record July level of about 99.6 feet, a height usually seen at the peak of the spring snowmelt in April or May. The high lake levels come after a rainy spring was followed by an unprecedented rainy stretch that caused a series of damaging flash floods across New York and Vermont.
The breakwater that protects Burlington's waterfront from the lake's rough waters remained about a foot above the high-water level on Friday, holding at bay one threat the near-flood level waters could pose.
The lake level "would have to rise another foot to submerge that," said U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Jordan Hess, of the Burlington station.
There are some fixed piers around the lake that were submerged and could be a hazard to boaters unfamiliar with the lake, but Hess said he hadn't heard of any problems.
The high water has also continued to flush trees, logs and other large sticks into the lake, especially from the Winooski River, usually a spring problem that resurfaced after the heavy rains of recent weeks, Hess said.
Coast Guard crews and good Samaritans have been pulling those obstacles to shore.
"It helps in other areas. There are lots of positives," Hess said. "Last year, we had a very high number of vessel groundings."
When the lake level was at 94 or 95 feet, many vessels were hitting submerged rocks or other normally covered obstacles, Hess said.
"We've had a significant drop in vessel groundings," he said.

Bankruptcy Law
Plan to have Kaye Scholer give up $1.5M in fees to settle disclosure case is withdrawn
Posted Apr 25, 2013 10:58 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A planned settlement of a case over lack of disclosure by a law firm and others in a corporate bankruptcy case has been withdrawn without explanation by the feds.
The settlement would have required Kaye Scholer to forgo $1.5 million in attorney fees in a Chapter 11 case and have a special committee sign off on representations to the court in applications to work on future bankruptcy cases. It resulted from a case initiated by the U.S. Trustee's office in the Department of Justice, over alleged violations of bankruptcy court rules about disclosure and fee arrangements.
Earlier, after creditors in the GSC Group Inc. case expressed outrage about the proposed settlement and Black Diamond Capital complained that would be prevented from seeking relief, the release terms were narrowed by the Trustee's office to address that concern, reports Reuters.
However, the amended settlement, which apparently did not address a Black Diamond demand for sanctions, was subsequently withdrawn, according to the news agency.
Initially, the Trustee's office had sought to remove the law firm and two other entities from the case, Capstone Advisory Group and restructuring officer Robert Manzo, and claw back $10 million in fees. The feds accused the law firm of cooperating with Capstone and Manzo in failing to reveal to the bankruptcy court a longstanding professional relationship and friendship between Manzo and the Kaye Scholer partner on the case. Meanwhile, Capstone and Manzo allegedly did not reveal to the court, as required, that they had an independent contractor relationship that involved fee-sharing, which is generally not permitted in bankruptcy cases.
"It is reasonable to conclude that Kaye Scholer would be hard pressed to take issue with Capstone's bills," said a court filing by the trustee, pointing out that the Kaye Scholer partner had worked together on other major bankruptcies.
If the parties cannot reach agreement about settling the disclosure case, it may go to trial in bankruptcy court in New York.
The article does not include any comment from those involved as defendants in the disclosure case, and Reuters said most could not be reached Wednesday for comment.

Diamond Comics Summary Fake, says ScholasticNews
April 14, 2003, 11:28 AM
I spoke to Diamond Comics Rep Bill Larduskey who looked up the HP ad in April's Diamond Comics preview mag. He told me it came directly from Scholastic. Scholastic, however, had quite the opposite reaction. "Didn't come from us!" is the verdict. Totally bizarre, and I believe Scholastic. So take a look at this if you dare, and decide who you believe.

Tuesday on Pearson Rd. in Worth County, between Duran Rd. and County Line Road, a Blazer was swept off the road by raging flood water.
If eight to ten inches of rain fell in much of South Georgia over the last few days, Worth County, Cook County, and some other vicinities probably got more than that.
Reed Bingham State Park in Cook County is swamped with about three feet of standing water in some spots. Half the park is under water from the Little River dumping water into Lake Reed Bingham.
The Radium Springs area of Dougherty County is still experiencing some major flood issues as well.
By the Withlacoochee River in south Berrien County off South Old Coffee Road, the river has gone up since Tuesday. Owners of one house estimate there's three feet of water in their house. Floods in 2009 put six feet of water in the same house.
The National Weather Service says the Flint River in Albany will crest at 22 feet on Thursday at 1:00PM, well below flood stage. However, there will be moderate flooding on the Flint at Bainbridge, forecast for 24.6 feet.
Meanwhile, the City of Valdosta says that the high flow at the Withlacoochee Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) caused a hydraulic overload causing sewage to leak into the river. This condition is expected to continue until the Withlacoochee River drops below flood level.
The total suspended solids result from the effluent is greater than 1.5 times the seven day average allowed by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.
Engineers expect the treatment plant to remain in violation until the River levels drop below flood conditions.
Some manholes along the Withlacoochee Interceptor line and trunk lines feeding the interceptor are now under flood water. Inflow from the flood will continue to cause high flow at the treatment plant until the flood waters recede.
The City of Valdosta is currently having a system of pump stations and force mains designed that will replace the existing 52" gravity main that runs along the river basin to deliver flow to the Withlacoochee WPCP. This will greatly reduce the effects of river flooding on the collection system.
The city is also having a new headworks facility and equalization basin designed for the Withlacoochee WPCP that will reduce the effect of inflow and infiltration on the plant processes. Both of these designs are 60% complete.
The City of Valdosta plans to move the facility to a higher elevation to prevent future flooding. This move will allow the plant to be completely redesigned and re-built.
These three projects should remove the potential for hydraulic overflow due to inflow and infiltration in the future. The City of Valdosta is currently seeking revenue sources to allow the completion of these necessary projects.
Upstream and downstream sampling of the Withlacoochee River has started.

Foolish Pleasure
Foaled: March 23, 1972
Sire: What A Pleasure
Dam: Fool-Me-Not, by Tom Fool
Breeder: Waldemar Farms
Foolish Pleasure falls into the same category, only in a much different manner.
Anytime his name is mentioned, it's nearly impossible to avoid recalling the brilliant filly Ruffian, who suffered a leg injury that proved fatal in their July 6, 1975 match race.
It's understandable that few remember the sight of Foolish Pleasure crossing the finish line that day, yet that one afternoon has unfairly obscured a career which might have been celebrated with more emotion under different circumstances.
If he were born 10 years earlier or later, Foolish Pleasure's accomplishments would have stood out with much more gusto. Instead, in a career that spanned 1974-76, he raced during one of the sport's greatest decades, sharing a stage with Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Forego and, yes, Ruffian.
There were even five horses who nearly swept the Triple Crown during the 1970's, a roster that includes Canonero II, Riva Ridge, Little Current, Bold Forbes and Spectacular Bid in the two-out-of-three-is-pretty-darn-good club.
Like most of them, Foolish Pleasure was a Kentucky Derby winner. He captured the 1975 Run for the Roses as a 9-5 favorite, one of his 16 victories in a 26-race career that earned him enshrinement in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1995, a year after his death.
Owned by John L. Greer, Foolish Pleasure was trained by Leroy Jolley, a 1987 Hall of Fame inductee who brought out the very best in the bay colt.
A son of What a Pleasure out of the Tom Fool mare Fool-Me-Not, Foolish Pleasure flashed exceptional talent from Day One. He won his debut at Hialeah on April 4, 1974, and then posted a 10-length victory in the Dover Stakes at Delaware Park. Next was a win in the Grade 3 Tremont that led to decisive victories in the Sapling, Hopeful, Cowdin, and Champagne which capped a perfect 7-for-7 season.
Rewarded with an Eclipse Award as the year's undisputed champion 2-year-old champ, Foolish Pleasure headed into 1975 as an overwhelming favorite to add the Kentucky Derby to his already impressive credentials. He had such a sterling reputation that when he made his 3-year-old debut on Feb. 12, 1975 in a Hialeah allowance race, it was contested with no betting.
A 4 ¼-length win in the allowance race was followed by a 1 ¾-length score in the Flamingo at Hialeah as an overwhelming 2-5 favorite and conjecture started to grow that Secretariat might soon have company in the Triple Crown champion fraternity. But then, in a stunning upset, Foolish Pleasure finished third in the Florida Derby, winding up 3 ¼ lengths behind Prince Thou Art.
Overcoming post 15 and winning by a head in Aqueduct's Wood Memorial brought many of Foolish Pleasure's fans back to the bandwagon, and those that hopped aboard were rewarded. Doing what was expected from him at the start of the year, he rallied from eighth to win the Kentucky Derby by 1 ¾ lengths over Avatar as the betting favorite.
"Until an athlete does something, you don't know if he can do it," Jolley said in Sports Illustrated's report on the Derby. "But now it seems that whatever the others can do, Foolish Pleasure can do it just a little bit better."
Two weeks later, his bid for the Triple Crown came to a disappointing end when he encountered traffic problems and fell a length shy of catching Master Derby.
He repeated that runner-up finish with another second-place finish in the Belmont Stakes, losing by a neck to Avatar. Still that effort and his consistency in the Triple Crown garnered him acclaim at that point in the year as the year's best 3-year-old … male.
While Foolish Pleasure was competing in the Triple Crown, Ruffian was busy dominating the 3-year-old filly division with a freakish amount of speed. A win in the Grade 1 mile and a half Coaching Club American Oaks on June 21 left her unbeaten in 10 starts. She had led at every call in those 10 victories and was now in the market for new competition.
Two years removed from Riggs' "Battle of the Sexes" in tennis with King and Margaret Court, racing had the perfect mix of ingredients for its own clash between outstanding male and female competitors. The New York Racing Association put up $350,000 for a mile and a quarter race that would pit Ruffian against the winners of the three legs of the Triple Crown races: Foolish Pleasure, Master Derby and Avatar. When Avatar backed out, NYRA paid the connections of Master Derby to keep their horse in his stall so that there could be a head-to-head duel between the Kentucky Derby winner and the undefeated filly.
Dubbed "The Great Match," the event captured the fascination of the nation and attracted a crowd of 50,764 to Belmont Park in addition to millions more in a Sunday afternoon network television audience.
Ruffian was sent off a 2-5 favorite, mostly because of her superior early speed, and when the two rivals broke from the start gate it was indeed Ruffian who held a narrow edge over Foolish Pleasure after an opening quarter in a quick 22 1/5. As they continued along Belmont's seemingly endless backstretch Ruffian remained in front and had increased her lead slightly when tragedy struck. About three furlongs into the race, Ruffian took a bad step and began to bobble. As Foolish Pleasure sprinted clear from the injured filly, jockey Jacinto Vasquez jumped off his severely injured mount.
But was too late. Ruffian had shattered the sesamoid bones in her right foreleg. Surgeons tried to save her, but their work was undone she awoke from anesthesia and lashed out with her leg, destroying the cast around it. With any hope that she could be saved removed, Ruffian was humanely destroyed.
One of the sport's most highly anticipated days would be forever draped with heartbreak and sorrow – and Foolish Pleasure was relegated to a secondary role in a race that may have defined him as an even greater champion.
"I saw what happened," Jolley told Sports Illustrated, "and I watched my horse go the rest of the way. I saw him cross the finish line. I am always going to believe my horse could have beaten her anyway, because he was just where I wanted him to be when it happened. It's the thing you fear every time you saddle a horse. You always think about it and you hope he comes back in one piece. With horses that run as hard as these two, the risk you run is greater. They throw everything they have into it, and if it kills them, it kills them."
After "The Great Match," Foolish Pleasure tackled older horses with mixed results. He lost by a head to eventual 3-year-old champion Wajima in the Grade 1 Governor Stakes but then was fifth behind Wajima and Forego in the Marlboro Cup, finishing 10 lengths behind in the weakest effort of his career.
A nose loss in an allowance race ended a bittersweet 3-year-old season.
He ran eight times at four with mixed results, winning the Donn Handicap and Suburban – the latter by a nose over Forego when he carried 125 pounds and Forego toted 134. He also finished no better than third in a pair of Hollywood Park graded stakes and a turf stakes at Gulfstream.
The end came in the Golden Invitational at Arlington Park, when he won by 3 ½ lengths and pushed his career earnings to $1,216,705.
He would leave the racetrack, but would not be forgotten – especially when Ruffian is mentioned.

Hydrangea Tablescape
I found some pretty pink hydrangea plates and matching creamer at a thrift store and placed them on a table with more of my TS treasures to create this tablescape.
Literally everthing on the table, including the tablecloth and napkins is from a thrift store!
The colors are really pretty IRL.
I will post a couple more shots as I don't know how to get more than one picture in a post.
CandyThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Christmas Candy,
The salad plates are very sculpted.
The CP is silk. The napkins have blue and purple hydrangeas printed on them.
beautiful lavendar plates CC.. I know everyone will enjoy their dinner in such a lovely setting.
to see my projects view my Blog.
Final view:
I am having difficulty with the last picture??
Still trying to get it to post,
Well, I finally made it, but don't know why it was so difficult.

Lovely scape. Gosh...I've been missing tablescape threads around here. Thanks for sharing.
CC such a lovely tablescape. I particularly love hydrangeas, so this caught my eye. The colors are so soft and feminine. Beautiful job. Thank you for sharing.
I would love to have lunch and chat at that table. Too pretty.
I love it when I find pieces that I can coordinate for a table setting! Still LOVE table setting photos! I have a couple of Pinterest boards dedicated to photos of them...! Can never see too many good table settings!
ENJOY your pretty arrangement!
Beautiful. Wish TS near here had such treasures. Thanks for sharing. I too have missed tablescapes.
Friends divide our sorrows and multiply our joys.
A very pretty table and I ADORE hydrangeas! Makes a lovely table!
View my blog:
What a beautiful table setting you have created! Thank you for sharing.
Maine Lady
Great job, Candy!
Thanks for sharing it with us -
Thanks ladies!
I discovered tablescaping on RMS, and was immediately hooked.
Once I discovered that thrift stores had lots of inexpensive dishes, linens, flatware, glassware, etc., I began to amass a rather large collection. I have a large basement, so they are stored down there. At first, I bought lots of dishes, but now I have enough that I need to be more selective in my purchases, LOL.
I do occasionally find some on clearance at regular stores, and a few from yard sales, but I don't get to many of those as they are usually on days when I am on the golf course, LOL.
The table that I most often use is in my sunroom, but sometimes it is the dining room, and even the kitchen table for some holidays.
Thanks again,
Another great scape that looks inviting and fun! You make such finds with your dishes! I enjoy seeing how you put it all together.

The two experienced fishermen are co-hosts for the Outdoor Channel's "Fishing University," which is a show where each host will team up with sponsors and try to win each week's Corporate Cup Challenge.
The teams battle each other using matching tackle boxes with only one type of lure.
The show has been in the process of filming on Smith Lake Tuesday and Wednesday and plans on finishing today.
Currently in its 27th year, "Fishing University" not only details the ins and outs of fishing, but it also teaches high school students about various jobs and careers in the outdoors through their "Back to School" segments.
This week the show's crew filmed at Dora High School.
A meet-and-greet was held at Captain D's Seafood Restaurant in Jasper Tuesday night for local fans of all ages.
Brazier and Ingram shook hands, took photos and signed autographs with those who stopped by. Recently, Captain D's joined an impressive list of sponsors of the show.
The restaurant's CEO Phil Greifeld and the company's top franchisee Jim McClure also were present during Tuesday's night event.
"This is our first sponsorship of 'Fishing University.' Obviously, we saw the strong correlations and the strong ties between what we do and what we serve with 'Fishing University,' and then certainly also a strong overlap between our customer base and the customer base of 'Fishing University,' as you can see by those two gentlemen being surrounded by fans," Greifeld said. "... This is obviously a good connection for Alabama because Alabama is a large presence for us. Our biggest DMAs is the greater Birmingham area — Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery — Atlanta and Nashville. It's a great fit for us to be out here in the community."
Captain D's Area Supervisor Scott Allred said the Jasper restaurant is where he got his start.
He commented saying, "It's been one of our top restaurants for many years. Jasper has been very good to us."
According to McClure, Jasper's Captain D's is a successful store that ranks within the top standings of the company.
"Last year, in 2012, this restaurant had the highest sales volume of any Captain D's in the system, company or franchise. About half of the system is company-owned restaurants, and this one's a company-owned. This year, it was the highest company-owned restaurant, but another franchise restaurant, I think, beat it in sales volume for 2013," McClure said. "... Everybody that's got anything to do with Captain D's has a good mental image of Jasper, Ala., just because of this restaurant, including me. I rolled into town last night for the first time, never been to Jasper, Ala., but I knew it was going to be a great place because it has the No. 1 Captain D's in the system.
"So, how could it not be a great place! Of course, we went up to the lake and fished all day and that's a beautiful area," he continued. "The whole area is nice; the town is nice, so y'all have got it going on here."
Both gentlemen have been accompanying Brazier and Ingram on the lake where they competed on teams against each other. When asked if they had any luck catching anything Tuesday, Brazier said he and his teammate caught "a 4-pounder, which is good for Smith Lake, especially this time of year."
Brazier and Ingram have been to Smith Lake numerous times before, and they both agreed it's a great spot for winter fishing.
"It's absolutely beautiful. I live two hours north of here, and in the winter, this is where we'd come to fish anyway," said Brazier, who will also be back in March for the Bass Master's Tournament. "It's not a local lake to me, because it's been so long since I've gotten to fish just for the fun of it, but I've been here thousands of times."
"I've fished this lake a lot. I started fishing in it in the 60s when I was just a kid really," Ingram added. "It's so much better now than it has ever been because of the influx of blue herring to this lake, which is a bait fish. ... It's a great fishery, especially in the winter time. It's always been a good winter time fishery, but now with the fish being so big and healthy, it's really doing well."
City officials and representatives from the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County were also on hand at the restaurant welcoming Greifeld, McClure, and the cast and crew of "Fishing University." Having the show filmed at Smith Lake helps bring positive attention to the county, said city council member Jennifer Williams Smith.
"This is just more good positive exposure. With the fishing tournaments and everything, every time they come in it's just more and more people that want to come to Walker County and check out our wonderful Smith Lake," Smith said. "I know they'll have a great time, and they'll brag just as much as all the other fishermen that come through. Again, just thrilled at our Captain D's here. I'm so excited about 2014; this is an awesome start to it."
Susan McKinney, who is this year's chairperson for the chamber of commerce, spoke about why things like the filming of "Fishing University" is important for the county.
"Especially when we're looking at economic development and bringing businesses in, of course the lake is the highlight, so the more we can showcase that lake I think the more we're showcasing our county," McKinney said. "Linda Lewis, let me tell you, she's major when it comes to promoting. She cares a lot about this county. We've got a lot happening right now with some of the new businesses."

Snow removal contractors will now face a fee to off-load snow in the City's Snow Storage Site.
A fee structure was deemed necessary to help offset costs associated with establishing a new storage site.
"In the very near future, we will begin to utilize the new Snow Storage Site on4th Avenue North (just north of the Public Works yard). The new site will be more environmentally friendly with melt-water collection ditches and a two part settling pond. The site will also utilize a special blend of salt resistant grasses. The anticipated cost to construct the new Snow Storage Site is approximately $700,000," detailed a report circulated to Council in December when Council gave the bylaw first and second reading.
In addition to establishment costs it was anticipated maintenance cost for this new site to be more than in the past due to the smaller site footprint necessitating occasional cat/dozer work, grass cutting, removal of siltation from the settling ponds, and general cleanup each spring.
"As a result of these expected higher maintenance costs in addition to the capitol cost to build the site, we have researched other cities to try to gain an understanding of possible revenue to offset the future costs. What we have learned is that many cities are implementing some sort of fees in an effort to recover some if not all of the additional costs. It is estimated in some cities that commercial and general public snow haulers account for up to 75 per cent of snow that is hauled into the storage site," stated the report.
The fees proposed ranged from $100 for a half ton in 2014, rising to $150 in 2015, to $500 for a one ton truck, rising to $700 in 2015, to $1,400 for a tri-axle semi rising to $1,500 in 2015.
Councillor Les Arnelien said Monday that instead of implementing the fee structure March 1, he would rather see it implemented in the fall, giving contractors more time to factor the new fees into contracts.
Mayor Bob Maloney worried contractors will have contracts signed covering this winter and will be forced to absorb any added costs coming from the City.
"I think we have to be fair to people who have agreements in place," he said, in support of a fall implementation.
Coun. Ross Fisher was not ready to wait, noting contractors have had "almost three-months notice already."
Coun. Chris Wyatt also wanted the fees implemented now, noting department heads in the City are identifying costs of operation and offering a way to recoup some of those costs and it should be supported by Council.
As for the current snow, Coun. Randy Goulden said even if implemented March 1, "we still have some winter in front of us."
Arnelien made a motion to rescind second reading of the bylaw to allow for an amendment to hold implementation in the fall. While having the support of Maloney and Councillor Larry Pearen, the motion was defeated in a three-three tie with Councillor James Wilson not in attendance.
Third reading of the bylaw was then passed, with Maloney and Arnelien opposed.

EAST PEORIA, Ill.-- Whether the right to vote is the most important right in the U.S. Constitution can be debated but it is mentioned more often than any other, five times.
Tuesday was National Voter Registration Day and the League of Women Voters of Greater Peoria set out to get younger citizens on the rolls.
The league set-up shop at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, aiming to help students feel involved in the political process and to get them to pay attention to who their elected officials are.
"I think we hear a lot of complaining about what the government is doing or isn't doing but, unless you actually register to vote and cast your ballot, then you can't make any changes," said Cheryl Budzinki, president of the League of Women Voters of Greater Peoria.
Of course, you can register to vote throughout the year. Just stop by your county clerk or board of election office.
