By Don Stuart Rushville Republican
Rushville Republican
---- — During our Labor Day weekend visit to Charleston, S.C., we decided to do something that a family like ours (a mom, a dad, a 16-year old and 12-year old) would all enjoy. We sat in our hotel room for an entire day and played with our smart phones!
Not really. Although my kids consider this a viable option when forced to spend a holiday weekend with their parents. My 12-year old actually suggested it.
Instead, we forced them out into the world to see a few things. Although some things they most enjoyed were things they didn't see.
Yes, that's rather a mysterious statement, but it's apt, considering the mysterious journey we went on: a "Ghost Tour" of Charleston.
There are only about 243 different Charleston "ghost tours" to choose from, so my wife tried to pick one that seemed to have started it all. I think the tour's name had the word "Original" in it. But I can't remember because my ticket, which I was saving to remind me, disappeared! I know, weird, right?
Strange things like this happened throughout the evening. For example, before the tour began, while waiting at the prescribed meeting spot, I found in the pocket of my shorts the ghostly remains of a list of column ideas that I'd gathered long ago and hadn't seen for years! (Or at least that's what I saw; my wife just saw a wadded-up napkin that had been left in that pocket and gone through the wash.)
When the tour guide showed up, he gathered us for an introductory talk, during which I noticed a few odd things. For one thing, the sky had gotten quite dusky, and yet he still wore sunglasses! And the longer he spoke, the more I sensed I was hearing something otherworldly. I closed my eyes and concentrated on his voice, and realized he sounded quite a bit like Elvis Presley! And this was made all the more mysterious by the fact that – of all the members of my family – the only one who could hear the resemblance was ME!
As he spoke about the places we'd be strolling during the tour, he mentioned cobblestone streets, alleyways, and cemeteries. But he made a point of emphasizing that at no time whatsoever would anyone JUMP OUT AT YOU! He said this last phrase just like I typed it – loudly, suddenly, and with a sudden lunge toward my family. We were sitting at the time, and still my wife must've jumped a foot and a half. But she came down in plenty of time to still catch my impressionable 12-year old, whose jump was of Olympic-record proportions.
The first ghost story we heard involves one of Charleston's bed-and-breakfast inns. The tale is about an out-of-town couple staying in one of the inn's third floor rooms. The husband is a highly rational and skeptical sort of fellow, but he "feels the presence" of someone watching him whenever he's in the room. This eventually leads to him seeing a headless, armless, legless torso floating next to the bed in the middle of the night! Which he at first mistakes for his wife, who was, shall we say, no beauty, and who often made nightly trips to the potty. But then he realizes she's in bed next to him, and she says she sees the hovering torso too! So they up and head for home in the dead of night, never to return!
The most haunting aspect of this story, which disturbs me to this day, is that they'd reserved the room for three nights, non-refundable, and they NEVER SAW THAT MONEY AGAIN!
This was pretty typical of the stories we heard throughout the evening, although the settings got creepier. In fact, the finale takes place in a Unitarian Church Graveyard, which the tour company describes as having a "non-manicured" appearance, but which my wife would describe as "overgrown with weeds and vines and if you don't clean it up by next weekend I'm going to hire someone to do it!"
Ultimately, we never saw anything spectral on the tour. My kids were half-disappointed, half-relieved. But the next day, they endured a terrible fright – in broad daylight, no less – when they witnessed a horrifyingly pale apparition! It was me, without a shirt on, at the beach.

Alabama Crimson Tide RB Mark Ingram and DL Marcell Dareus will announce their early entry into the 2011 NFL Draft at a joint press conference on Friday, according to ESPN's Joe Schad. The report also mentions WR Julio Jones as "likely to follow," though he apparently won't be announcing at the press conference.
Ingram, the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner, is listed as the No. 15 pick in our most recent 2011 mock draft, going to the Miami Dolphins. Our draft has Dareus going No. 8 to the Tennessee Titans, but Ingram's the headliner here because he carries the ball a lot.
Ingram's follow-up to his Heisman run didn't go quite as well as hoped, with the big back producing only 875 yards after missing two games and seeing Trent Richardson take on a bigger role in the offense. Ingram and Dareus were named the MVPs of the 2009 BCS National Championship Game, Dareus for his victimization of Texas' offense and that shovel-pass touchdown.

the late '40s and early '50s quite a few young Greek leftists had to flee their
country to avoid at best torture and long prison terms and at worst execution in
the hands of the US appointed local puppet Greek Government.
of them fled to Paris; in a traditionally tolerant society towards political
refugees. Of them, three, Cornelius Castoriadis, Yiannis Xenakis and Costas
Gavras, not only survived in an unfamiliar social environment, but they became
internationally famous in their chosen fields.
Castoriadis "used" his leftist background to become kind of a French philosopher
who opposed (!) the left through an incomprehensible "philosophical" system of
the "fantasiako" (the "imaginary"), etc. Castoriadis thrived in the rather silly
French cultural environment that produced the post-modern type of funny
"philosophical" texts.
Yiannis Xenakis as a young student in the Athens Polytechnic took part in the
Resistance against the Nazis and then their British successors. In December
1944, during the struggle of the Greek left to socially liberate the Greek
society, part of the left side of his face was blown off by a British mortar
shell. In Paris Xenakis worked as an Architect and also invented a kind of
"mathematical" musical system. (My opinion is that besides the need for survival
in Paris, through his musical compositions, Xenakis was "trapped" by the beauty
of mathematics, as he was part of the generation of the late 1930s that grew in
an intensely rich mathematical environment in the Athens Polytechnic of that
time. Again, this is my personal judgement about his music.) Xenakis died
recently. He was a very decent person.
Costas Gavras became a film director. He is a gentle and polite person but also
he is an example of Chomsky's view that the "victims (of the US foreign policy)
tend to remember." And Gavras "remembered" through his films; "Z", "Missing",
and "State of Siege."
(Note: "Z", the story of the murder, in 1963, of Lambrakis, a member of the
Greek left and a deputy in the Greek Parliament, is perhaps one of the most
important political films of the 20th century.
were the protagonists of the Lambrakis case: Emanuelidis, the man who killed
Lambrakis, and the "tiger" a then young construction worker who jumped on the
3-wheel vehicle from which Emanuelidis killed Lambrakis. If the physically
strong and agile -hence the nickname "tiger"- construction worker had not jumped
on the moving vehicle the Lambrakis murder would have been covered up.
"tiger" died of cancer a few days ago, on the First of May, '01, at the age of
72. He died a very bitter person. As expected, for the Greek state and its US
patrons he had interfered with their plans, therefore he was their enemy for the
rest of his life after his heroic and historic deed.
Emanuelidis, the killer, died a few hours (!) after the "tiger", also of cancer.
He was 75 and according to a Greek journalist he was the "garbage" of the Greek
society: a killer paid by the state.
Documentary evidence has shown that the killing of Lambrakis, of "Z" fame, was
planned and carried out by Papadopoulos, the dictator of 1967. Papadopoulos was
a paid CIA asset since the early '50s. End of Note.)
Gavras is making a new film. The English title of the film will be: "The
Eyewitness." The script of the film is based on the well-known play by Rolf
Hochhuth "The Deputy", that appeared in New York in 1964 and which was "the
earliest and most notorious attack" on the conduct of Pope Pius XII towards the
Nazis during WWII.
the Gavras film version of the play the dominant figure is not the Pope but KURT
GERSTEIN, an officer of the Nazi SS. Gerstein was born in Muenster, Germany, in
1905. By profession he was an engineer. >From 1925 he was a member of a
Protestant youth movement. He joined the Nazi Party in 1933 but continued to be
an active member of Pastor Niemoeller's Confessional church.
Niemoeller was a submarine Commander during WWI After the war he studied
theology and in 1933 he wrote his autobiography, "From U-Boat to Pulpit', which
was widely praised for its patriotism in the Nazi press. Niemoeller shared the
anticommunism of the Nazis and their detestation of the Weimar Republic, which
he himself had branded as "14 years of darkness." By 1934 Niemoeller, however,
was disillusioned with Hitler as the latter began to "co-ordinate" the
Evangelical Church and subordinate it to state authority. Niemoeller started
"resisting" Hitler (because Hitler did not prefer Niemoeller's version of
Christianity?). Enraged by Niemoeller'r rebellious sermons and his widespread
popularity, Hitler ordered his arrest in 1937. Tried before a special court he
was given the relatively mild sentence of 7 months in a fortress. Following his
release, he was re-arrested and spent 7 years in concentration camps in
"protective custody," until his liberation by Allied forces in 1945. He died in
1936 Gerstein was arrested by the Gestapo for distributing religious tracts and
expelled from the Nazi Party. After a second spell in a concentration camp in
1938, Gerstein managed in 1941 to join the SS, where few questions were asked
about his past. This time Gerstein joined the Nazis as "Spion Gottes" (a Spy for
God) according to the historian Pierre Joffroy, Gerstein;s biographer.
1942 Gerstein was put in charge of the Technical Disinfection Department and was
responsible for handling "poisonous disinfectant gases". In the late summer of
1942 he was sent on a mission by the SS to persuade Globocnik and Christian
Wirth to introduce "Zyklon B' gassing into Polish death camps, in place of gas
Globocnik was born in 1904 in an Austrian Croat family and was a builder by
profession. He joined the Nazi Party in 1930 and entered the SS in 1933.
Dismissed in 1939 from his SS position for illegal speculation in foreign
exchange was pardoned by Himmler and appointed by him as SS and Police Leader
for the Lublin district in Poland.. Globocnik founded four death camps in
Poland; Belzec, Sobibor, Majdanek and Treblinka. He was responsible only to
Himmler. Globocnik did his "job" with brutal efficiency by November 1943 he had
completed his task by slaughtering nearly three million Jews. According to
Globocnik's final report to Himler, the overall value of the cash and valuables
accruing to the Reich between 1 April and 15 December 1943 from Globocnik's
handiwork came to 180 million Reichsmarks. For helping himself too liberally to
some of this plunder, Globocnik was transferred to Trieste. At the end of the
war, Globocnik succeeded in evading arrest. He 1100 was eventually arrested by
the British in 1945 but committed suicide by a cyanide capsule a few minutes
after his arrest. According to other versions, he was hunted down and killed by
partisans or by a Jewish vengeance squad in June 1945. A pity. He was so
competent a business entrepreneur and fervent believer in western values.
Christian Wirth, the other associate of Gerstein's, was born in 1885 in
Oberbalzheim in Germany. In WWI he was decorated with one of Germany's highest
decorations for bravery. He, also, worked as a builder. In the 1930s he worked
as a Nazi police officer and became notorious for his special methods of
investigation (i.e. torture) in criminal matters. At the end of 1939 he carried
out the first known gassing experiments on Germans certified as incurably
insane. Wirth, a gross and brutal individual, whose verbal coarseness and
cruelty richly earned him the nickname "the Savage Christian", prided himself on
the efficiency of the methods of gassing which he designed. He also claimed to
have pioneered the use of "Sonderkommandos"- thereby forcing physically stronger
Jews to bury their own people, they, too, were killed. According to one account,
the brave Wirth was killed in street fighting by Yugoslav partisans. He, also,
might have been killed by a Jewish vengeance squad.
back to Gerstein and Gavras. According to his own account, left behind in a
prison confession, Gerstein had "but one desire , to gain an insight in the
whole machinery (of the Nazi death camps) and then shout it to the whole world.
Returning from his inspection tour of Belzec in late August 1942 (!), Gerstein
recounted what he had witnessed to a chance companion travelling on the same
Warsaw-Berlin express, Baron von Otter. Gerstein requested that the diplomat
'report at once to his government and the Allies… (The Swedish government …
never passed on the information.) Gerstein also urged his friends in the Dutch
underground to broadcast his information by radio to Great Britain, but though
the British Foreign Office knew it to be correct, the news was rejected by
British officials.. Gerstein also tried to report to the Papal envoy to Berlin,
but the latter, most reluctant to offend the Nazis, showed him the door."
(Source for the text in quotation marks and much of the bio data: Robert S.
Wistrich, "Who is Who in Nazi Germany," Routledge, 1995).
Jewish historian Saul Friedlaender, whose work on Pope Pius XII and Gerstein is
considered as fundamental, considers Gerstein as "a man of the Resistance… His
'fault' is found in that he was alone."
the war, on July 17, 1945, Gerstein was found hanged in a French prison cell.
Whether Gerstein committed suicide or was killed by Nazi fellow- prisoners is
unknown to this day. The Gavras film- Gerstein commits suicide under SS-arrest
in Rome in 1943.
Vatican refused to cooperate with Gavras, so he had to go to Romania and use the
spectacular Ceausescu palace in Bucharest to film the Vatican scenes!
us hope that Gavras' "tendency to remember" is as effective as that for "Z".
March 16 Commentary, titled "The Archbishop," ended with the following words:
latest episode of the Christodoulos series has to do with his archenemy: the
Pope! A few weeks ago the President of the Greek Republic, Kostis Stefanopoulos,
while visiting Italy invited the Pope to visit Greece. Christodoulos said NO !
He claims that if the Pope wishes to visit Greece he can do that as any other
person (as a tourist?). Will Christodoulos prevail?"
we know the answer. Here it is:
course, Christodoulos, the Greek Archbishop, could not prevail. Gregory Niotis,
the Greek deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs (and a frequent visitor to
Washington, D.C.) probably saw to that. Christodoulos did an 180 degrees turn
and was ready to greet the Pope. However, there was the difficulty of silencing
the fanatic crowds that the Archbishop himself had incited earlier.
the Archbishop a couple of weeks before the visit of the Pope, while celebrating
mass in front of the TV cameras at Gysi, a middle-class Athens neighbourhood,
with tears in his eyes asked the Virgin Mary to enlighten the Orthodox Greeks to
desist from demonstrating in the streets against the Pope, etc. The trick worked
perfectly! A text-book case of successful western propaganda methods in contrast
to the Stalinist barbarity of the Soviets. So, only a fringe of the crazy
fanatics continued to shout against the "Satan", "the tow-horned monster of
Rome," "the Antichrist," etc. in the streets.
on May 4, '01 the Pope arrived in Athens, took off that cute little circular hat
(or something) in deference to the Greeks, kissed some Greek soil (offered to
him on a platter, because he could not kneel) and met all the Greeks that
matter, mainly Christodoulos, the Archbishop.
Christodoulos, playing his role as a professional that he is, addressed the Pope
in front of the TV cameras and in an aggressive and insulting manner "demanded"
that the Pope apologize for the behaviour of the Catholics for the last one
thousand years and also in an equally insulting manner required that the Pope
stop being silent about the Cyprus problem and start talking about it.
the Pope (humbly) apologized (!!) for the Crusades, etc. (one can read about it
in the New York Times), but he skipped Cyprus. Yet, Cristodoulos became the hero
of the Greek Orthodox patriots.
(Note: Was this childish charade the culmination of one thousand years of
glorious Christian history? Who knows? The fact is that the day after the Pope-Christodoulos
meeting, Christodoulos flew to Moscow bringing a Pope message to the
recalcitrant and powerful Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexios, while the Pope
flew to the… Golan Hights ! This seems not to be part of the charade.)
(Interesting) PS : A few days before the Pope visit to Athens there was a
general strike in Greece. The Simitis government had announced that it had
prepared a law to cut down the pensions and extend the age for eligibility to
get a pension to 65. The ENTIRE country was demonstrating in the streets, during
the day of the general strike. This scared the piss out of the Simitis
government and they took back everything. The Pope visit was a welcome
diversion, but another general strike is planned for May 17, The interest lies
in how is the Dubya US Embassy in Athens going to react now that once more
(after Kosovo) the Greek population are not following orders!

Google Maps CanvasLayer Library
A CanvasLayer library has been added to the Google Maps Utility Libraries. The library allows Google Maps API developers to easily add a canvas layer as an overlay on Google Maps.
Using canvas with Google Maps can have many advantages. Brendan Kenny and Paul Saxman recently discussed the CanvasLayer library in a Google Maps Developers Office Hours broadcast. You can watch the broadcast here to view just some of the possibilities of using the CanvasLayer library with Google Maps.

The first fight scheduled for UFC 160 tonight in Las Vegas is a featherweight clash between Jeremy Stephens (20-9 MMA, 7-8 UFC) and Estevan Payan (14-3, 1 NC MMA, 0-0 UFC). It's Stephens' featherweight debut and Payan's UFC debut as he comes over from Strikeforce.
Stephens has his back against the wall having lost his last 3 fights. Payan meanwhile his undefeated in his last 8 bouts and has knocked out 4 of his last 5 opponents. The UFC 160 prelims start on Facebook at 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT, and continue on FX at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT.
How do these two stack up?
Stephens: 26 years old | 5'9" | 71" reach
Payan: 31 years old | 5'10" | 72" reach
What have these two done recently?
Stephens: L - Yves Edwards (KO) | L - Donald Cerrone (UD) | L - Anthony Pettis (SD)
Payan: W - Mike Bravo (TKO) | W - Alonzo Martinez (UD) | W - Oscar de la Parra (KO)
How did these two get here?
"Lil Heathen" is known for his wild striking, powerful hands, and entertaining fights, but in recent times he's struggled to manage even a win in the UFC. Since his consecutive defeats over Marcus Davis and Danny Downes, Stephen has dropped 3 in a row. Truth be told, there is no shame in losing to contenders Cerrone and Pettis, but his loss to Yves Edwards marked his first ever KO loss and it stands as his final fight at LW. He's fortunate to be in the UFC given his losing streak and his pending assault trial this summer,and his featherweight debut could be his last chance.
Payan has fought primarily in Nevada, Arizona, and Texas, and his first experience in one of the bigger promotions was Bellator's inaugural season back in 2009. The Arizonian made it to the semifinals of the FW tourney but lost by KO against Yahir Reyes after a tremendous spinning back-fist. Payan lost his next fight to ex-WEC fighter Karen Darabedyan by TKO, but in the last 4 years he's amassed 7 wins and one no-contest. He earned a trip to the UFC by TKOing Mike Bravo in Strikeforce's final event this past January. His UFC debut against Stephens marks a return to 145 lbs, as Strikeforce did not have a FW division.
Why should you care?
There's the significant possibility that this is "loser gets cut", but even ignoring that this is a matchup of two strikers, so this should be an exciting opener.

ARLINGTON - Arlington ISD's Board of Trustees tackled its overcrowding issue Thursday night by approving a plan to build new schools.
The plan calls for building two additional elementary schools and expanding three existing campuses. The cost of the project is more than $58 million.
Funding for the plan still has to be worked out, but the board is looking at using bond money and general funds to pay for the project. A decision on funding is expected at a later date.
"We have looked at all the other alternative solutions, and this is the one that will actually relieve overcrowding in east Arlington for ten years," said district spokesperson Amy Casas.
Fifteen out of 19 elementary schools in the district are at capacity.
Some parents told News 8 the problem isn't affecting education, but they are concerned it will eventually creep into the classroom.
"If it's overcrowded with too many students, one child might not be able to speak up about what they are going through with their lessons," said Jessica Manning.
The limit at the new two schools will be 900 students. One will be built on the Workman Junior High School Campus. The other will be east of Highway 360.
The three expansions will help 200 students each. Locations for the additions have yet to released.
Manning supports the board's decision.
"We don't want it to become a major problem," Manning said. "I'm glad they are trying to focus on it now, instead of five or ten years down the line."

Sooner or later, the Browns are going to have to help themselves out, but for now, if you want to look for reasons to keep the faith about Cleveland after a disappointing season-opening loss to Cincinnati, you could do worse than simply looking at the schedule and seeing Indianapolis as the next opponent.
The Colts' first start without Peyton Manning in the lineup since 1997 wasn't pretty. Manning's replacement, Kerry Collins, fumbled twice in the first quarter, and the Texans turned those turnovers into touchdowns. Very quickly, Houston was down 17-0. By halftime, the deficit was 34-0. The Colts didn't score until 9:17 was left, and they scored but that one touchdown and extra point in a 34-7 loss.
Little worked for the Colts. They were outgained 384-236. Their special-teams coverage units, seemingly an annual concern, gave up a punt-return touchdown. Simply put, they were overmatched by the Texans, whom they had previously defeated 16-of-18 times.
The Browns did not play well vs. the Bengals, but they did enough in all three phases to raise hope that they can improve in the weeks to come. The defense forced seven straight Cincinnati punts. RS Joshua Cribbs had a strong game. The passing game perked up in the second quarter as Cleveland scored both of its touchdowns and racked up 157 total yards.
Short of playing Indianapolis last week, Cleveland probably couldn't have picked a better time to face the Colts. Indianapolis still has some very talented veteran players on the roster and may soon find its bearings, but it figured to face an adjustment period without Manning, and the season-opening loss at Houston saw the Colts look very vulnerable.
If Indianapolis struggles again, can Cleveland capitalize? To do so, the Browns need to cut down on the mistakes that marked the 27-17 defeat to Cincinnati. Another sloppy performance would be a major disappointment — and a definite red flag.

As the concept of heritage expands, community-participation in cultural heritage protection, conservation and enhancement is recognized as a necessity by all national and local authorities as well as by the private sector and associations concerned with heritage. But how exactly is the community to be involved and what does one mean by "community", and furthermore, what advantages can heritage bring to them? The International Thematic Week held earlier this year attempted to address this issue, notably through a variety of case studies around the world, aimed to clarify this nebulous concept.

This year Guntersville is getting tough on its locally grown policy.
There was a confrontation Thursday morning between police and a farmer.
They kicked him out for not having local produce, but the man refused to leave.
He said he does grow the produce, but he won't say where his farm is.
"Well, they're not going to get it Saturday. They'll carry me to jail before they get it," said farmer Vesta Noles.
Since Tuesday, Noles has been protecting his spot at the Guntersville farmer's market.
Market officials informed him Tuesday they were enforcing the ordinance which requires showing them the garden to prove produce is locally grown.
Noles said he has one in Marshall County and one in Blount, but authorities said they tried three times to see it.
"We hit dead end roads. We hit dirt roads, and none of those were on his directions," said Grover Williams, manager at the farmer's market.
"I said, 'Well, I can't help that.' I said, 'I told you where it was at,'" Noles said.
So on Tuesday, authorities informed Noles he was to vacate and informed him again on Thursday.
Noles said he was told if he's there Saturday, he would be arrested.
"They'll make that determination and officers will do what they have to do, and if it's take him to jail, I guess it's take him to jail," said Williams.
But Noles said he'll have family out helping him guard his spot.
"If they try to handcuff me and carry me to jail, they're going to have something besides just taking me," he said.
The 81-year-old Noles said this could all be avoided if the city would just allow him to sell his produce or give him back his $90.
Williams said the ordinance states the rent is non-refundable.

ICANN and IANA domains hijacked by Turkish crackers26/06/2008 Written by Marcelo Almeida (Vympel) & Kevin Fernandez (Siegfr
The ICANN and IANA websites were defaced earlier today by a Turkish group called "NetDevilz". ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers. These include domain names, as well as the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources.
Their domains were redirecting to a hosting space at "atspace.com" where the defacers left the following message:
"You think that you control the domains but you don't! Everybody knows wrong. We control the domains including ICANN! Don't you believe us?"
Hijacked domains include "icann.com", "icann.net", "iana.com" and "iana-servers.com".
We reached the defacers by email but they refused to tell us how they changed the DNS records, however a cross-site scripting or cross-site request forgery vulnerability might have been exploited.
Here is the mirror of the ICANN.com defacement:
You can have a look at their other defacements here:

It's video that will make you gasp. A stroller with a baby strapped inside rolls off a SEPTA ramp and onto the train tracks below.
This happened at the 56th Street Station, part of SEPTA's Market-Frankford elevated line, FOX 29's Bruce Gordon reported.
It was around 12:45 p.m. when 28-year-old mother Tamika Greer was with her baby, a 14-month-old little girl, in a stroller.
For a moment, she lets go of the stroller, and it rolls right off the platform onto the train track bed below, about a four-foot drop.
You'll see in the video that the carriage does a summersault, if you will, rolling upside down onto the tracks.
Within seconds, Good Samaritans, including a SEPTA employee, rushed to the mother's aid.
The mother obviously realized immediately what happened. She jumped down to the track below and put the baby up on the platform.
The baby looks like she's in good shape. But the crowd continues to help her out and lift her back up to the platform.
Importantly, one of those Good Samaritans rushes by and uses the orange SEPTA call box on the wall. That gives septa officials the warning that something bad is going on. They rush into action and stop the next eastbound train that is heading in that direction from continuing on its way, potentially causing a real tragedy.
So, how close did this come to being a fatal accident?
"The next train on the track that the baby fell in was at 60th Street. That's where we stopped the train," a SEPTA official said.
"And how many minutes away are we talking?" Gordon asked.
"If the train's moving, it could be less than a minute," the official said.
"From when the baby went on the tracks, a minute?" Gordon followed-up.
"If the train is at 60th Street and leaving at the moment the baby falls on the track, yes, it could be less than minute," the official said.
At dinner hour, the mother was at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with her 14-month-old little girl. We are told the baby has suffered only minor injuries -- some cuts and scratches, but nothing serious.
Two big lessons to be learned here...
First, you've got to be alert to your surroundings. Those platforms, in case you're wondering, are slightly slanted. That's for drainage purposes and probably explains how that carriage rolled away from mom and into the track bed.
Second, be alert for those call boxes. That astute and alert passerby who pressed the button, which activates what amounts to a two-way radio system once you press that button. She was able to alert authorities as to what was going on. They were able to stop the train and avert a real tragedy here, Gordon reported.

In what seems to be a quickly developing story, there's a hell of a lot of chatter coming out of Turkey this evening that Sunderland have agreed a fee with Bursaspor for French youth international midfielder Alfred N'Diaye.
Whilst there's nothing from from the written press yet, several Turkish journalists and Bursaspor fans sites are reporting the news that a fee of 4.5m Euros has been agreed (about £3.6m). Several Bursa fans have taken to social networks too to lament the sale and the fact a fee has been agreed. Evidently he's seen as a big loss to the Crocodiles.

MANDEVILLE, La. — Mandeville Police believe the victim in Sunday evening's shooting on the Tammany Trace was not a random act, though they haven't identified a motive for it yet, authorities said late Monday morning.

Do you already own a Rogue Flash Bender made by ExpoImaging? If so, then you will definitely want to pick up one of the new Diffusion Screens. These handy screens improve the light from the flash bender by diffusing the light giving it a softer quality, especially when used in close to your subjects.
The Rogue Flash Benders are handy speedlight modifiers that simply velcro on to your flash, and can then be adjusted and formed to better control and shape the light. The new Diffusion Screens simply velcro on to your already existing Flash Bender and help to spread and soften that light. The new Diffusion Screens also come in two sizes, one for the large Flash Bender and another for the smaller one. The large screen creates a 9″ by 8″ source of light and the smaller one is 9″ by 4.5″.
To give a frame of reference of the differences between using a bare flash and the Flash Bender with the new Diffusion Screens, check out the images below.

The TD Five Boro Bike Tour Presented by REI offered 32,000 cyclists the opportunity to bike through all five boroughs–Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island on streets totally free of traffic.
The event was co-produced by Bike New York and the New York City Department of Transportation.
Proceeds from the TD Five Boro Bike Tour fund Bike New York's free bike education classes.
Last year, they taught over 15,000 New Yorkers how to ride safely and confidently. Plus, there's no better way to experience the Big Apple than by bike. For one day, the roads, the bridges and the city belonged to the cyclists.

Six varsity hockey players from Mound-Westonka High School were suspended hours before a critical playoff matchup Friday night after participating in Internet video sensation "The Harlem Shake" on school grounds.
One suspended Mound-Westonka senior told FOX 9 he couldn't believe a video that was approved by teachers caused such a stir. The players are sticking together and spent their suspensions playing pond hockey on Monday.
Parents remained furious even after school officials called for reduced punishment for the students, the Star Tribune reported. The original punishment called for a two-day suspension and also included $75 police-issued tickets, which parents asked to be rescinded.
After the backlash began, school officials shortened the suspension to one day. Though Principal Keith Randklev defended the discipline, he confirmed the school would ask also police to rescind the citations.
By 4 p.m. on Monday, the Minnetrista Public Safety Department confirmed all disorderly conduct citations would be dropped following a request from Superintendent Kevin Borg.
The suddenly short-handed Mound Westonka hockey team fell Friday night to unexpected victor Blake, adding to the collective anger since the loss effectively ends the high school career for the seniors.
The students -- six hockey players and two swimmers -- danced in their own version of "The Harlem Shake" on school lunchroom tables and chairs as part of a class project.
Jack Brandsetter told FOX 9 News about 30 people participated in the performance on Friday, adding that the video's creation was approved and supervised by teachers.
"I don't feel like we did anything wrong," he said.
Shortly thereafter however, he and the others were suspended and ticketed.
"They said we engaged in riot-like activity and engaged in a mob, which is completely false," Brandsetter said.
One mother told FOX 9 News she was told that she would understand why her son was suspended once she saw the video -- but she has and still doesn't get it. She, and several seniors who missed their final hockey game, are demanding answers. Parents with lawyers in tow are expected to attend Monday night's regularly scheduled school board meeting at 7 p.m.
Hundreds of original 'Harlem Shake' videos have made their way to YouTube and garnered thousands of views, each featuring erratic dance moves and an equally erratic soundtrack.
In fact, two similar videos have been filmed at other metro schools. In Burnsville, no one was suspended. In Eden Prairie, a table was lifted, but it is unclear whether any students faced consequences.
The district indicated that students violated school policies during the performance, but parents claim the punishment didn't match the crime. Parents have called for a dismissal of the administrators who authorized the sanctions, which will be further discussed at Monday night's school board meeting.
While most board meetings take place at the Educational Service Center on Sunnyfield Road, there is so much outrage that the 7 p.m. meeting will be held at the school's theater to accommodate the amount of participants.

So, you think you have a hot idea for a new cup - one that's as durable and heat resistant as Styrofoam but more biodegradable than paper. If you think you have an invention with potential, you're not alone. Each year, people by the thousands try to develop and mold their ideas into commercial success. How do you turn your simple idea into a multi-million dollar business?
Many inventors have turned to invention submission and idea promotion companies which promise service - they say they'll evaluate your invention, research the patent and contact manufacturers on your behalf. Unfortunately, many companies that claim to help inventors develop and market their ideas have been under investigation for fraud by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other government agencies. In fact, the U.S. Patent Office estimates that inventors stand to lose close to $300 million each year. How do you protect your invention and your wallet from fraudulent invention promotion companies?
Before Dialing That Toll-Free Number...
Invention promotion companies usually advertise on television, many times in the late night or early morning hours. Before calling that 1-800 number flashing on your television screen, consider the following real-life examples. Hopefully they'll persuade you to do some research before opening your wallet to an invention promotion company:
FTC Targets Invention Submission Companies
More than ten years ago, the FTC began taking legal action against invention firms, beginning with a 1994 settlement with ISC. In that deal, ISC agreed to pay $1.2 million to former consumers without admitting to any wrongdoing. The FTC charged that the company made several misrepresentations to consumers while persuading them to pay fees ranging from $395 to $4,890. Since then, the FTC has sued at least four other inventor submission companies, requiring them to pay customers hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as millions of dollars in fines.
Don't Fall for Flattery
We're all vulnerable to flattery, inventors are no different. Who doesn't want to hear that they've invented the next big thing and are about to become rich beyond belief? The important thing to remember when soliciting inventor promotion companies is, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Many fraudulent invention promotion firms offer inventors a research report or market evaluation of their idea that can cost hundreds of dollars. Once the research is completed, they offer patenting or marketing and licensing services, which can cost several thousand dollars. If you are thinking about contacting a promotion firm, the first question you should ask is for the total cost of its services. Legitimate companies will have relatively small, if any, upfront fees because they make their money from successful royalty arrangements from the inventions they accept. If they do have upfront fees, reputable companies will tell you all of the out-of-pocket costs right away, before a relationship is solidified.
The American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 gives you certain rights when dealing with invention promoters. Before an invention promoter can enter into a contract with you, it must disclose the following information about its business practices during the past five years:
Finding Additional Information
The smartest way to make sure you're using a legitimate company to promote your idea is to do research.Find out if the company was ever investigated or in trouble with the FTC, Better Business Bureau or any other consumer protection agency. This may be a good sign as to whether or not the company is reputable.
For information on how to spot a legitimate inventor promotion firm, visit the FTC's Web site at www.ftc.gov. For information on patents, visit the U.S. Patent Office Web site at www.uspto.gov.

By George Bremer
For the Pharos-Tribune
Same sum, different math.
The Indianapolis Colts' improbable run continued Sunday with a 27-23 victory against the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The game hewed close to a familiar script on many themes. Indianapolis improved to 8-1 in games decided by one score or less, and it was the seventh straight home game to come down to the final drive.
But the Colts (9-4) tweaked the ending a bit this time around. It was the defense making the big, game-changing plays and the offense holding on to the lead late.
"It was a great team win again, and like I said earlier, there won't be any blowouts with this team," Indianapolis interim coach/offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said. "This team is too young. We just try to figure out a way to win every week, and so far we've been able to do that."
The latest victory brings the Colts to the brink of the postseason. Losses by the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) and Cincinnati Bengals (7-6) on Sunday gave Indianapolis a two-game lead for the AFC's fifth playoff spot with three regular-season games to play.
The formula for the Colts clinching a playoff spot remains convoluted, taking into account possibilities such as the 6-7 New York Jets winning out and the Bengals and Steelers playing to a tie in their Dec. 23 meeting.
Indianapolis also will remain alive in the race for the AFC South title if the 11-1 Houston Texans lose tonight against the 9-3 New England Patriots.
With so much uncertainty remaining in the picture, it's best the Colts remain focused on tending to their own business.
Against Tennessee (4-9) that meant overcoming a rugged first half that left Indianapolis with a 20-7 deficit.
Andrew Luck was responsible for part of that margin, throwing his third interception that was returned for a touchdown late in the second quarter with the Colts trailing 10-7.
Replays appeared to show at least one of Luck's knees — if not both — was down before he released the football. But referee Peter Morelli didn't see enough on video to overturn the call.
"I saw it on the [video board]," Luck said. "I was hoping that they would call me down. But I probably deserved a pick-six for trying to throw a football in that position going down, right at a defender. So learn from it, and don't do it again, hopefully."
The Titans also scored on an 18-yard pass from Jake Locker to Jared Cook on the game's opening drive and a pair of Rob Bironas field goals in the second quarter.
Locker finished with 262 yards, but he gained just 49 in the second half and was intercepted twice.
"We were ahead of the chains in the first half and we weren't in the second, and that can make a difference," Locker said.
Meanwhile, the Colts' offense sprung to life.
After managing just a 4-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne in the first half, Luck directed an 80-yard drive to start the third quarter that ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Delone Carter and cut the deficit to six.
Cornerback Cassius Vaughn erased it entirely exactly three minutes later. On the first play after Pat McAfee pinned the Titans at their own 1-yard line with a 52-yard punt, Vaughn intercepted Locker's pass and returned it 3 yards to the end zone for a go-ahead score.
Vaughn said Locker had been going to his side on intermediate routes throughout the first half. He gambled the quarterback would try the same thing again and won.
"It was one of them moments where we knew we had to try to make a play," he said. "We made a play, and that turned the game around for us."
After the teams traded field goals, Darius Butler grabbed the second interception against Locker. His came at the Titans' 28-yard line and set up a 40-yard Vinatieri field goal to end the scoring.
Tennessee had one final chance to win. The Titans picked up a first down at their own 30 but believed they had a third-and-short and called a quarterback sneak. Locker was stopped for no gain on the play and then threw a pair of incompletions to force a punt.
Indianapolis took over at its own 10-yard line. Vick Ballard picked up a first down with a 13-yard run, and Luck sealed the game with an 11-yard pass to tight end Dwayne Allen on second-and-10 from the 24.
Luck finished just 16-of-34 for 196 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. But he surpassed Peyton Manning's franchise record for rookie passing yards, and he's now just 259 yards shy of Cam Newton's NFL record.
As usual, however, the only record Luck was focused on was 9-4.
"I think it's the best team game in the world, I really do," he said. "You have to rely on so many guys and so many different phases of the game. It's fun when you can get team victories."

Here's a technique that's useful when you need to get off your boat in water shallow enough to wade ashore, yet also secure the boat so that a drop in water level won't leave it high and dry. Whether you call it a clothesline moor or an outhaul, it's slicker than mossy rocks. And it's easy to do, once you collect a few pieces of gear.
The clothesline needs two anchors to work — one on the beach and one in the water. The shore anchor can be in situ, like a boulder or tree. Lacking natural blessings, you can use a spike, sand screw, grapple hook or another boat anchor. It all depends upon your boat and the specific topography of the landing you've chosen. Do what you think is best, making sure your boat's firmly connected to terra firma.
The second anchor is your boat anchor, which you already have. Again, sizes and types vary with region, boat and preference. Whatever anchor you'd feel secure swinging to in the specific location is the one to use.
The two anchors are connected by a loop of line. (See where this is going?) So you'll need a length of line equal to twice the distance between your seaward and shoreward anchors.
Finally, you'll need some miscellaneous bits: a pair of galvanized rings or pulleys (aka blocks) and some shackles. First, shackle a ring or block to each anchor's chain, where you'd normally attach the rode. Note: In weedy waters, a ring is less likely to get jammed, though it's a bit harder to heave the boat in than it is with a line rove through blocks.
Step 1
Wade ashore and secure an anchor. Get back in your boat.

Now that was more like it. After last week's lackluster booger-laden episode, the guys returned to form last night with their horror parody -- "A TelAmerican Horror Story." I would have gone with "Non-Wayans Brother Actually Scary Scary Movie," but that's just me splitting hairs.
I don't think I've ever tuned into Workaholics for a single storyline (and probably wouldn't unless BieberHole69 made a reappearance), so despite the commendable effort -- complete with a closeted Robert Englund cameo and creepy running kids silhouettes -- it was the one-liners and running jokes that did it for and will keep me coming back. In particular...
- "I f*cking love tits, you guys."
- "My aunt gave Gary Paulsen a handjob and he gave us like a ton of free books."
- "You can't say the words 'children' and 'passion' and have your face."
- "Read the label, sweetheart. DP10: Not for women."
- "I'm not just sure. I'm HIV Positive."
- "You taught yourself Spanish. You can make it through this, muchAYcho."
Heart your delivery, Devine. Unfortunately the world wide web has somewhat let us down with their GIF and image making efforts today. Here's the best I could find...

Ward vs Chavez (Topics Merged), Any Interest? At 168?

Okay guys, don't laugh at me, but I just thought about this. I would like to hear you guys' thoughts on how the fight would go, though Im sure most would give it to Ward easily. Maybe. Maybe not.
My biggest question is, how could their promoters put a huge spin on things and make this into a HUGE fight over the course of a year? I mean, Ward is big in the boxing world, but not so much with casual fans. Chavez is going to be big (that's what they're working towards), due to his name, if he can keep winning.
This would no doubt, be somewhat of a breakout fight for Ward, in regards to the world knowing who he is. The lifting is in the hands of Chavez's team...maybe a fight with Kelly Pavlik and some other notable name at 168 by the end of next year. He does have a pretty busy schedule, so it can be done...maybe May '14, if Ward stays at 68.
What are you guys' thoughts on the popularity of this fight? Fight results?
Oh yeah...Chavez is going to beat Sergio. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

good call on the numbers!!!
Damn, what were the official numbers for this one. I missed it somewhere along the line. I would feel like a hypocrite to believe Arum's number for this fight, especially if they're what I guessed, but then call him a liar for the Pac/Mosley and Pac/JMM3 numbers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
problem is merchant can actually say logical shit, like the stuff on the front page, but then they push HBOs agenda like there a coke dealer
Agreed. I cant even say that Merchant is wholeheartedly with the HBO agenda, he's just a cranky old man who wants to see fighters's organs hanging out, if not, then its a boring fight to him. I know that he had ringside seats to David vs Goliath, when guys beat each other senseless, but boxing doesn't roll like that anymore.
