Children are fascinated with water ŌĆö especially little boys. At least that was true for the two I raised.
Their sister had no interest in H2O except as a beverage or something to swim in. But Big Brother and Little Brother were different stories altogether, and the little one's antics made him somewhat of a legend in his own time.
Paul, the senior member of the trio, coined a new word for water. I just don't know how to write it.

On July 18, 1947, the voters of Saline County chose overwhelmingly (by 60 percent) to go from a wet county to a bone dry county. Ten years before they had decided to go dry on whiskey, but not on beer and wine.
Since I was born in 1947, I must rely upon those who are old enough to remember and stories and ads from the 1947 Benton Courier.
My father, Robert L. Burton Jr., was born in 1921. His mother died of TB and left my grandfather, Robert L. Burton Sr., with two sons, Robert and Ralph.

I look forward to a serious mopping project with about the same degree of enthusiasm I reserve for surgery sans anesthesia or being rolled buck naked on a gurney around the courthouse square.
Domestic chores in general are not the sort of thing that get me revved up, but eventually, as they say in the commune, someone has to take out the garbage.
And so it goes with mopping at the House of Hollenbeck. The time comes when it has to be done.
The Saline County Quorum Court met in special session this week. Nobody was surprised with the unanimous voice vote at the end of the meeting. With each JP in agreement, a quick ŌĆ£ayeŌĆØ began the ŌĆ£officialŌĆØ search for a Republican replacement for Saline County Sheriff Bruce Pennington.┬Ā
The predominantly Republican Quorum Court passed a resolution asking for Pennington to ŌĆ£resign effective immediately.ŌĆØ Before the vote, the court heard from two residents in support of keeping the sheriff. But the number in favor of ridding the office of the embattled lawman was larger and more vocal.

ItŌĆÖs been interesting to hear the debate over whether to hold University of Arkansas football games in Little Rock each year. There were more than 9,000 unsold tickets for last SaturdayŌĆÖs game at War Memorial Stadium against Samford. The debate on sports talk radio centered on whether Little Rock is being ŌĆ£punishedŌĆØ by hosting an out-of-conference patsy game, rather than a marquee match-up.
Travel in the car today is drastically different for kids from what it was like when I was a youngster.
We didn't have TVs or DVD players and such for entertainment. We did have a radio, but mainly we amused ourselves using something that seems lacking much of the time now: A thing called imagination.
On Sunday, a little boy wearing a cowboy hat and boots moved into his dormitory room at college. Despite his young age, there was nothing that made this day more remarkable than any other.
His mother unpacked boxes and made up the twin bed in his room. She stored his clothing in the closet and underwear in the dresser drawers. She made sure the bathroom was safe, his toothbrush handy.
A quick trip to Walmart and the purchase of two lamps ensured her little boy would have a cozy and comfy room to sleep in each night.

Today, I would like to put aside my memory books and dust off a piece of furniture I seldom use any more. When I was younger and full of myself, it received a lot of use and many times got me into trouble (grin).
(Dusting off the ŌĆ£Fred E. Ashcraft Memorial Bully PulpitŌĆ"ŌĆØ) ŌĆ". This will only mean something to old codgers ŌĆ". Also, what follows is my opinion ŌĆō not necessarily that of the newspaperŌĆÖs staff, management, paper carriers or readers ŌĆ".
The new voter identification law in Arkansas will be fully implemented by the next major election cycle. As is the case with any piece of legislation, it may or may not live up to its intended purpose. The devil is in the details, and we got our first look at some of those details last week.
A few days ago we buried Black Beauty, the cat (black, of course) that was part of the Hollenbeck household for something close to 20 years.
His passing left a big hole in my heart, but I cherish the two decades of love he gave to our family.
I donŌĆÖt remember exactly when he crossed the threshold and became ŌĆ£ourŌĆØ cat. For a long time, he made regular visits to the outdoor feeding dish early in the morning and late in the evening and didnŌĆÖt seek attention beyond that.

The St. Louis Rams controlled the clock effectively in the first quarter, using two possessions to eat up nearly 13 minutes off the clock and to score two touchdowns. Starting from his own 27-yard line, second-year quarterback Sam Bradford led the Rams down the field that eventually wound up as a 73-yard drive. Bradford used nearly eight minutes on the clock to get to Kansas City's six-yard line before connecting with Mike Sims-Walker for the touchdown pass.
After forcing a four-and-out, on the Chiefs' drive, the Rams got back in on the action with about six minutes left on the clock. This time Bradford directed the Rams down the field for a 60-yard drive. He found Lance Kendricks for an 11-yard touchdown pass. Bradford went 8-of-8 for 76 yards Running back Steven Jackson rushed 12 times for 66 yards in the first quarter.
The Chiefs' Matt Cassel had one pass for 20 yards at the end of the quarter, but he also found himself on the ground 11 yards away from the line of scrimmage after James Hall sacked him earlier in the period.

Port Description
Where to Eat and DrinkNeapolitans claim to have invented thin-crust pizza (though the crusts aren't thin when compared to Roman pizza), and the classic "flavor" is the Pizza Margherita (invented in honor of Queen Margherita in the late 19th century). Everyone in Naples has opinions (and passionate ones at that). Our favorite -- as much for its convenience, just off via Chiaia (and as such just a 10- or 1205-minute walk from the cruise terminal), as its pizzas -- is the fabled Antica Pizzeria Brandi (Salita S. Anna di Palazzo, off via Chiaia, closed Mondays). It's not fancy, and service is anything but pampering and personal (though it is efficient), but the pizzas really are true to its reputation. We've also tried some other menu offerings (such as pasta dishes), but suggest you stick to the ample menu of pizzas.
Other popular options include Da Michele (Via Cesare Sersale 1, closed Sundays and three weeks in August); we haven't tried that one (yet). A trattoria that looked promising was Fratelli la Buffala (17 via Medina) and very convenient to the cruise terminal. At 1:30pm on a weekday, the line of locals waiting for tables in the nondescript place snaked out the door and down the street. Not a tourist (or tourist menu) in sight! The menu emphasizes pastas, caprese salads, and pizzas all pretty much equally. Next trip -- we'll report back!
Di Matteo (Via dei Tribunali 94; closed Sundays and two weeks in August), whose claim to fame is that President Clinton ate here during the G7 Summit in 1993 is probably the city's most famous. Di Matteo is smack in the heart of the oldest part of the city (where you'll see lots of food markets and local chain stores as opposed to the generally more chic ones found in the Chiaia area).
Di Matteo is a more complicated walk (make sure you ask for directions from the info desk at the terminal), and the pizza was less crisp and greasier than that at Brandi. You literally enter through the pizza kitchen and go into a small, dingy dining room -- but don't stop here. Instead, head upstairs where the rooms, still luncheonette-style dingy, are framed by windows open to the street. Di Matteo offers more options in pizza (I had what essentially is a pizza margherita with prosciutto). It's also an incredible value -- 3.2050 euros for a bottle of quite drinkable red table wine, 3 euros for a huge pizza, etc. But it's anything but fancy and service is anything but attentive. Still, the place is full of locals -- and it's a chance to get a real Naples experience.
If pizzerias represent the tradition of old Naples, a place like the aforementioned Spa Cafe (Via Carlo Poerio) spotlights the sophistication of 21st-century Naples. The establishment, which literally had just opened right before our visit, attracts the city's fashionable young set with its nouvelle Italian/world fusion cuisine for lunch and dinner.
And not by any stretch of the imagination, the waterfront cafes surrounding the city's antique prison (via Partenope, across from the Grande Albergo Visuvio Hotel) are great for seafood; try the historic Zi Teresa. Other options include La Scialuppa and Ristorante Ciro.
Staying in TouchInternet cafes flourish throughout the city; most convenient for cruise visitors are those that are located along the main boulevard fronting the port.
What to See and DoPompeii is the most important historic site in this part of Italy; at one time (a long, long time ago) it was a prosperous city with 20,000 residents. The eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79 buried the town for some 1,700-plus years. It was rediscovered in the mid-18th century as a result of excavations, and visitors can now wander the streets of this ancient, doomed city.
Herculaneum was also destroyed during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. This smaller town of about 205,000 inhabitants has only been partially excavated, but you can often see even more intriguing details than are available at Pompeii, such as wooden beams, furniture, and carbonized papyrus scrolls.
Take a bus ride up the fabled Mount Vesuvius; it'll get you within Quota 1000, the location of the parking lot and cafeteria. Then you can hike up the last bit, a slippery cinder track.
The primary tourist attraction in Naples is the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, also known as the National Archeological Museum which, according to popular opinion, has better displays of artifacts from Pompeii than Pompeii itself. The museum also features a truly world-class collection of classical sculpture, Egyptian antiquities, murals, and mosaics. This is one of the few attractions where a cab from the ship is the best bet; plan to pay about 1205 euros each way. Other historic sites include the 13th-century Castel Nuovo and the Palazzo Reale di Capodimonte, which was an 18th-century palace and has now been restored and transformed; it showcases an excellent collection of Renaissance art.
The island of Capri, located just across the Bay of Naples, has charming villages (Anacapri and Capri) full of boutiques and sidewalk cafes and is a fun destination for easy-going sightseeing. Other diversions include a boat trip to the Blue Grotto; it's a fabulous sea cave. Also check out Villa San Michele. The 18th-century home of a Swedish physician, this elegant villa has lovely furnishings, classical art and a gorgeous garden. To get to Capri, head across the cruise terminal to the hydrofoil station; the trip across the Bay of Naples takes 2050 - 90 minutes each way, and boats dock at Marina Grande.
Whether by shore excursion or hired driver, head to Sorrento, the "capital" of the gorgeous Amalfi coast (some ships actually call at Sorrento, but they anchor and stops here are highly unpredictable, particularly if weather is blustery). Beyond Sorrento, other interesting small (and chic) villages to visit include Positano and Ravello.
Shopping in Naples is a favorite pastime. The city's retail hub is a relatively easy 10-minute walk from the Stazione Maritima; head past Castel Nuovo and up to Via Chiaia, a (mostly) pedestrian street lined with shops and bars. Via Chiaia leads to the city's more prosperous areas -- don't miss poking around the designer shops on Via dei Mille, Via Calabritto, and other streets in this neighborhood. One of the funkiest stores we've discovered in Europe we found in this area. The brand-new Spa Cafe, on 47 Via Carlo Poerio, is an elegant, oh-so-contemporary boutique that sells handpicked contemporary ceramics, features a floral designer, and operates a spa (see below for dining options).
Il Fretenelli, at the heart of this area, is a huge, multi-level bookstore with an adequate selection of titles in English. Right around the corner is Vinarium, a fantastic wine bar that specializes in Camapanian (Naples is part of the region of Campania) and Sicilian wines; you can taste or buy by the bottle. These are wines made by small producers that you'll never find anywhere outside of the area! A great souvenir.
Getting Around
Within the city you can get around on foot, primarily (or by taxi though make sure you ride in an "official" cab and negotiate the price before you get in). Beyond the city limits, the train system and the hydrofoils are convenient and efficient.
Renting a Car: Best not to. Traffic is insane in Naples and the most interesting side trips are easily accessible by train or hydrofoil.
Where You're Docked
Stazione Maritima is centrally located (and really handy if you plan to take the hydrofoil to Capri). You can walk right into town.

Peter Coclanis misinformed us in his Jan. 19 Point of View about the Porsche exhibit at N.C. Museum of Art. This was an art and engineering exhibit, and there was a series of lectures by Konrad Jarausch, also a UNC professor. This was one of the reasons I attended the exhibit Nov. 24.
Jarausch eloquently presented slides of the Porsche history and mentioned Ferdinand Porsche's Nazi connections and that he served jail time after the war. He presented the history appropriately in connection with the exhibit without inflaming Nazi history to the many different nationalities I observed in the lecture room. The public was also invited to ask questions after his presentation. No one asked a question about Nazi history; that's not what this exhibit was about!
This exhibit was a great success for the museum with record attendance. This was not an excuse for a witch hunt by a history professor to point fingers about Nazi history who obviously did not check the museum calendar, where he could see a UNC history professor of European civilization did provide the lecture or two he claims was not provided.
David Talbot
Editor's note: The Point of View "Insensitivity on display" called for "a lecture or two at the museum by one or another of the Triangle's many eminent scholars of Germany" when in fact there was a lecture at the museum and two in other N.C. cities.

YUMA, AZ - Despite cool temps Saturday morning many still showed up to buy fresh lettuce and other produce from Yuma's very own locally grown produce market. Today was the second Saturday the fresh grown produce market has been held.
The farmers market was started by students and volunteers from the University of Arizona. U of A grows much of their own produce to sale but also relies on help from other small farmers in Yuma.
The farmers market sales everything from broccoli to lettuce, kale and radishes including a wide range of organic herbs. Stacey Bealmer from U of A started the farmers market and says it was highly need for the community.

Saif to play Nehru?By Eye TV India Bureau
In the News
Indian filmmaker Gurinder Chadha based in the UK and famous for her 'Bend It Like Beckham' and 'Bride and Prejudice' is now making a movie on partition of India to be shot in Delhi and Jodhpur. Her choice of actors to play India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru is none other than Chhote Nawab Saif Ali Khan. She wants veteran Nasseruddin Shah to play Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Though she is yet to zero in on the actor to play Lord Mountbatten( the chief architect of Partition) either of the two Hollywood biggies -- Colin Firth or Michael Fassbender - is most likely to be cast in this historical role. The movie will be set in January 1947 when Mountbatten was asked to oversee India and end his role on August 1947.
Gurinder has already got the necessary permission to shoot everywhere in India including Rashtrapati Bhavan. Strangely, she is waiting to start shooting in October 2012, presumably on the advice of her astrologer. He says that the wife of the author of the book, on which her partition film is based, is heavily into astrology. For now, she is looking forward to running between Blackpool and Manchester with the Olympics torch on June 23, 2012. Though it`s just a 300-yard run, she has been practicing for it for months. There will be 8,000 people to cheer her on with drums and other musical instruments. Incidentally, she has shed a lot of weight.

'Fox News Watch' Covers NewsBusters' CNN/Oprah.com Story
On Saturday, "Fox News Watch" shared this bizarre story with its viewers, giving NewsBusters credit for the revelation.
Host Jon Scott stated (video embedded right, h/t Jeff Poor):
Caught in the web this week: according to the media website NewsBusters.org, Oprah.com and CNN.com have teamed up to tell us about a new trend -- women leaving men for other women. Now, this could get interesting. This site points out, but there are no statistics and no proof offered by these Internet giants to back up their claims. Why is that? Because Oprah.com says, "Statistics are hard to come by."

After what seemed an eternity, the big day came. I didn't want to fly in and try to board the ship the same day, so I booked a hotel in Civitavecchia. The hotel was a charming waterfront hotel a few feet from the southern end of the port itself. Civitavecchia itself is a pretty little town, perfect for strolling.
Our stop there accomplished everything we wanted, and we boarded refreshed an on the right time zone. (As a note, Princess docks at the northern end of the rather large port. A taxi is definitely needed to get there.)
Embarkation was Princess's usual quick and painless affair, and we were quickly in our stateroom, a mini-suite.
By the time we had boarded, Monaco had been removed from our destination list, but Princess made a slight price adjustment. Since we were visiting so many ports, we decided we could use the extra time aboard ship just to rest.
We had booked our tours through Princess directly mainly due to our prior experience with European transportation and strikes. The Princess guarantee that you won't miss your cruise was a deciding factor!
Our first port, Florence, started our tour experience. We discovered that almost all Princess tours leave early in the morning. We had to set our alarm clock to get up in time. They have a smooth gathering and boarding plan for tours, but it does involve gathering in the theater for a wait until the tour assembles.
I won't go into details of each of the tours we took, but we soon discovered the guide really makes the difference! While the tours were OK with the poorer guides, a great guide made for a great tour!
Princess solicits your comments about their tours, so I really think they care, and try to select the best guides.
We learned from prior cruises that we prefer anytime dining. We were not disappointed on the Crown. We met a lot of interesting people and thoroughly enjoyed each meal.
Princess' food is quite good, and their service is excellent.
Sabatini's and Crown Grill are well worth the surcharge.
The Crown is immaculately maintained, and the staff is friendly and outgoing. Everyone seemed interested in making sure we had a great experience.
Our steward was a real gem. We NEVER saw him enter our room, but it was always clean. We had fresh ice in our fridge the very minute we got back to our cabin. After a long day in the hot sun, this was a real treat. He was truly a master of his craft.
Now to a few of the details. the tours were very well planned and accurately described. Princess asked your opinion at the end of each tour.
In Venice, the port is a fair distance from downtown. The docks used by cruise ships would require a pretty good walk to reach public transportation.
Not to worry. Princess has arranged their own water taxi to St. Marks square. I don't recall the exact cost, but it was very reasonable for an entire day of anytime usage.
Next, Princess worked out a deal for people spending a few extra days in Venice. For a remarkably low price, Princess will move your baggage to your hotel. What a treat this is. Water taxis, your other alternative to hauling baggage all across town, could easily be over a hundred dollars.
Disembarkation is quick and painless on Princess. On the Crown it was no exception.
My wife and I both remarked at the end of this cruise that we would love to take it again.

WR Brandon Jones, who was released by the 49ers on Wednesday, agreed to terms with the Seahawks on Sunday.
Jones, 27, worked out for Seattle, Minnesota and Oakland during the past few days, but he ultimately decided to stay in the NFC West. Terms of the deal are unknown.
Jones was surprisingly cut last week after signing a five-year, $16.5 million contract with San Francisco in 2009. However, the team could not justify keeping him after he caught just one pass last season. Prior to that, he spent four years with the Titans.
Where Jones fits into the Seahawks' plans at receiver remains unknown. He'll likely be a reserve to begin the season.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — Aug. 7, 1928 - June 22, 2013
Ann Tupper died peacefully surrounded by the love of her family Saturday, June 22, 2013. She was born Aug. 7, 1928, in Peru, to Roger and Edith (Nelp) Williams. She had one older sister, Ruth Nelp Williams. Ann graduated from Peru High School, spent two years at Franklin College and graduated with a degree in education from Indiana University. She later earned a master's degree from Ball State University.
She married Kenneth F. Tupper in 1952 and enjoyed a 45-year marriage until his death in 1998. Ken's job took them to Kokomo, where Ann lived until 2010, when she moved to the Glenaire Community in Cary, N.C.
Ann is survived by her two children, Nancy Stokes (Bill), Apex, N.C., and Eric Tupper (Rebecca), Pittsburgh, Pa. She was devoted to her five grandchildren who brought her joy and pride: Molly Chelovich (Colin), Lara Sedor (Barry), Andy Mayhew, Sarah Stokes and Gretchen Stokes.
Ann was the consummate teacher, matching discipline with encouragement. The majority of her 30-year career was spent teaching kindergarten at Elwood Haynes School in Kokomo. But Ann's teaching did not stop in the classroom. Her children and grandchildren benefitted from her life-skills lessons from the kitchen to the sewing machine and her moral lessons about everything good and right. Ann's teaching spirit extends beyond life with her donation of her body as an anatomical gift to Duke University Medical Center.
Ann was a devoted friend. She nurtured lifelong friendships from high school and college but also enjoyed new, meaningful friendships throughout her life. Ann welcomed all into her home, including Ken's international business associates. She was the ultimate organizer; lists, order and timeliness were trademarks. "Patience, love and understanding" were Ann's guidewords and she readily shared these in many venues, including the sororities of Tri Kappa, Pi Beta Phi and PEO. Ann also enjoyed bridge, travel, needlework, gardening, and music.
Celebrations of Ann's life and in witness to the resurrection will be at 10 a.m. Thursday in the auditorium at Glenaire, 4000 Glenaire Circle, Cary, N.C., and at 11 a.m. Saturday at Grace United Methodist Church, 219 W. Mulberry St., Kokomo.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Bona Vista School (for children and adults of all abilities), P.O. Box 2490, 1220 E. Laguna St., Kokomo, IN 46904 or by visiting their website at bonavista.org. Contributions may also be made to the Kirk of Kildaire, Presbyterian, 200 High Meadow Drive, Cary, N.C. 27511.

'Senior Replacement Correspondent' Patrick Stewart Helps The 'Daily Show' Cleverly Mock The NFL Referee Dispute
I had high hopes going into last night that the Daily Show would do something to cleverly mock the uproar of the NFL's referee dispute, and boy did they ever skew it brilliantly, bringing in Patrick Stewart — recently seen bitching about his cable provider on Twitter — to lend a hand.
The surprise of the segment came when Stewart tossed to British correspondent John Oliver, only to find none other than Sir Patrick Stewart standing in his place as the "senior replacement correspondent." Stewart (the British one) mixed the powerful rhetoric of a Shakespearian monologue with trite phrases like "toad in the hole" and "up your bum."
The British Stewart explained that the Daily Show correspondents have gone on strike, and are temporarily being replaced by actors like himself and Mandy Patinkin. Stewart (the American one) found one little flaw in the plan, telling the other Stewart, "you're better than them."
Enjoy! Here's the first part…

Traffic Eased in Fresno California with New Stretch of Expressway
The California Department of Transportation recently announced completion of a new six-mile stretch of expressway for the southeast area of Fresno.
The $68 million project, paid for in part with $18 million of Recovery funds, added a four-lane section of highway to Kings Canyon Expressway, also known as State Route 180 East – a heavily congested traffic artery connecting different parts of Fresno County.
"The route serves as the primary agricultural goods movement corridor in eastern Fresno County and is of growing importance for commute travel from the surrounding rural areas and neighboring communities to the Fresno metropolitan area," says California DOT.
The new expressway "will significantly reduce traffic congestion," the agency adds.

While few of us would tackle the printed version of the 9/11 CR, this production for readers on the go has emotional moments. The raw communications from civilians, operators, and firemen receive no elocution but paint chilling portraits. Five male narrators hustle their parts along, taking practiced turns at the one thousand Arabic names. The introduction lists the readers, but we guess who's who. To indicate a direct quotation, one voice receives an echo. The hundreds of abbreviations shouldn't be attempted in heavy traffic - in this report "GOP" means "Government of Pakistan." At less than five dollars for more than twenty hours, we thank the publisher for making this historic document so accessible.
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, was created by congressional legislation and the signature of President George W. Bush in late 2002. This independent, bipartisan commission had the task of producing a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the attack, including preparedness and immediate response, and providing recommendations designed to guard against future attacks.
The 9/11 Commission released their final report to the public on July 22, 2004. During the course of the Commission's 20-month investigation, the 10 commissioners and 80 staff members conducted more than 1300 interviews in 10 countries and reviewed more than 2 million documents. In the 17 days of public hearings, the commissioners heard testimony from 140 federal, state, and local officials, and private sector experts.
The Commission was composed of Chair Thomas H. Kean, Vice Chair Lee H. Hamilton, and Commissioners Richard Ben-Veniste, Fred F. Fielding, Jamie S. Gorelick, Slade Gorton, Bob Kerrey, John F. Lehman, Timothy J. Roemer, and James R. Thompson.

"The prose is free from bureaucratese and, for a consensus statement, the report is remarkably forthright. Though there could not have been a single author, the style is uniform. The document is an improbable literary triumph." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Absolutely Outstanding Historical Document"
I expected a dry, factual report. I was surprised to see this is outstanding, both in its content and in the quality of the writers that produced it. The report contains the details we would expect regarding the events of 911, but I didn't expect the background material that sets the events, terrorism itself, and the ominous future we all face now in a historical context that makes it all the more frightening. Excellent narration too.
"Commission Report is essential reading."
This report should be required reading in educational establishments all over the western hemisphere, as it explains how pointers were missed and/or ignored by government and intelligence agencies in the USA, with tragic consequences.
You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." ― C.S. Lewis
"A little bit interesting a lot boring"
Started out really great with a blow by blow discription on what passed in the planes as they were hijaked. Then went on to names and places I will never remember. Procedures followed then changes recommended. Not my cup of tea but i made it through to the end. One point made repeatedly in this report that stuck out. We won't be able to stop all attacks.
"Mixed Apeal"
Part 1 of this chilling accounting is probably one of the best audio reads I've listened too...then, unfortunately, whomever produced the audio decided to change narators! Part 2 is narated very poorly, at a high rate of speed; making it extremely difficult to follow the details of what he is reading. I was imensly disapointed, and plan to write a letter to the production company. Hopefully you can get thru it and still get value out of the naration, but it made it too dificult for me -- I was very disapointed.
"Best $5 you will ever spend"
Although the 5 star-rating seems a bit overly dramatic, I think the rubric here is 3 - does not meet the standard (but if you buy it you'll finish it), 4 - partially meets the standard (good read but not life changing) and 5-exceeds the standard (captivates and makes you think differently). In short, this one is worth a listen. I did not expect to be entertained by a congressional commission but this often surreal story was captivating because it was nonfiction. It was enlightening to hear the story behind the media sound-bites of this tragic event.
"More interesting than Expected"
My concern before listening to this Report was that it might be too dry. After all, it is a government report and it is 20 hours long. I was pleasantly surprised. To me, it read like a well-researched history book. I thoroughly appreciated the detailed accounts of the events on that day, the equally detailed history of Bin Ladin and Al Quaida, as well as the extensive review of the response of the U.S. on many fronts. I want to listen to it again, and for a 20 hour government report, that is really saying something.
The 9/11 commission like the Warren Commission into Kennedy's assasination served to quite the public, assign guilt to the scape goats and allow the criminals to go free. It has achieved that purpose. The Iraq war was started on false pretenses - wake up America.
The commission was either stupid or complicit in not examining evidence like:
1) The freefall speed of the towers clearly disproved the pancake theory
2) Where were the bits of the planes the kit the pentagon
3) Whey did the quickly remove and dispose of the girders?
4) The building were designed to withstand a plane crashing into them, why did thefy fall?
5) Why was the Osama Binladen and his family escorted out of the US?
This is discouraging listening
"Important Read"
Overall a good listen, the first few hours are very dramatic describing nearly every minute of each flight, what happened, who knew what when, all the audio transmissions from the planes, etc. Very much like the United 93 movie but for all 4 planes. The on-ground description of the fire/police depts at the world trade center was a excellent but emotionally painful listen. The Roots of Terrorism, UBL, etc was also very good. But much of the report is focused on the US intel community, it is very detailed, probably too detailed for the average listener. Overall, excellant value for the money even if you only listen to the first several hours.
"Great journal of the horrible attack"
Surprisingly, this doesn't read like a government report at all. It's a good piece of journalism, a story of meticulously-planned terror well-told. It enlightens about the ways Al Qaeda, and our own government, operate. Many conclusions can be drawn from it, but a few are tragically unavoidable: when it came to Al Qaeda our government--under both party administrations--and its agencies were, at best, half asleep at the wheel for the 9 years leading up to the disaster. This applies to all levels of government, from national to local, responsible for our defense and safety.
I'm now listening to the part that describes the events inside the Twin Towers and in NYC's emergency services'responses to them, from the plane crashes to the collapse of the buildings. Despite real heroism by hundreds of individuals: fire fighters, police and civilians, the emergency preparedness was poor and the interagency coordination there was horrible. These definitely resulted in hundreds of deaths in NYC that could have been prevented, just as the whole attack could have been prevented by better policy, deployment, and coordination between agencies at the national level.
I'm a late-comer to this book, but find it compelling even now, after almost five years have elapsed since the attack. If you haven't read it or heard it I highly recommend you do.
Also, you might visit Google Video's collection of 9/11 videos.
"Surprisingly 'wet' -"
I bought this because the price was so cheap. My expectation was that it was going to be a very dry congressional report that reads like an encyclopedia. To my surprise, it was a very well written, narrated , and interesting account of 9/11. Its more like a book than a report. If you think you heard it all about 9/11; you haven't. This takes you into the middle of everything that happened on that day and leading up to it. It guarantees to offer something you had not heard in the past 10 years.

The City's Safe School Zone Initiative is a new program that aims to create a safe passage for children to and from school while also forging collaboration among parents, educators, school leadership and neighborhood associations. It began last month when City staff, Local Investment Commission staff, parent volunteers and neighborhood leaders canvassed areas around schools that may be dangerous for children as they travel to and from school. They identified these areas as "Safe School Zones."
After this weekend's cleanup, Safe School Zone site teams will meet regularly throughout the upcoming school year to monitor the zones. The teams include parents, educators, neighborhood leaders and staff from the City's Police, Public Works and Neighborhoods and Housing Services departments.
For more information, please contact Deletta Dean, Neighborhoods and Housing Services, at 816-513-3220.

Alabama Lawmaker's, Vile, Race-Tinged Email to Constituent
A Jefferson County, Alabama man got a shock after he emailed a local State Representative when instead of a form reply, or a short, meaningless message, the state representative sent him a vile rant filled with taunts and race-tinged epithets.
When Jefferson County resident Eddie Maxwell sent an email to Alabama's House members urging them to reject any new gun control measures, State Rep. Joe Mitchell (D, Mobile) responded with a virulent personal attack.
Using his official state government email account, Rep. Mitchell sent back a tirade that raised eyebrows across the Yellowhammer State this week. In the email, Mitchell essentially called Mr. Maxwell a slave owner, and followed that with a string of name-calling and threats of violence against him and those like him.
"Your folk never used all this sheit to protect my folk from your slave-holding, murdering, adulterous, baby-raping, incestuous, snaggle-toothed, backward-a**ed, inbreed, imported criminal-minded kin folk," Rep, Mitchell wrote in the return email. [Spelling as in original]
Mitchell went on to rant that he will use Maxwell's message to show why his constituents should "stock up on spare parts, munitions and the like," in an obvious allusion to using the Second Amendment to protect themselves from white people like Maxwell.
It should be noted that emailer Maxwell is just a private citizen and Mitchell is the one in a position of power.
Maxwell told local media that he was "surprised at the racial tones" at the politician's email reply.
Maxwell also noted that this was his first reply from the State Rep. and that he'd never had any contact directly with Rep. Mitchell in the past.
After the exchange became public, at least two Alabama House members emailed Maxwell to apologize for their colleague and to tell him they supported his pro-Second Amendment stance.
"It just makes me more determined that we the people need to stay involved," Maxwell said in a telephone interview with Alabama Media Group. "It's up to us as citizens to watch our government."
Maxwell also stated that he feels that Rep. Mitchell needs to answer for his tirade. "I think (Mitchell) needs to be called in to face his actions. I think he at least needs to be questioned about it."
Initially, Rep. Mitchell refused to comment about the virulent email exchange, but later he told the media he has nothing to apologize for.
Rep. Mitchell claims he supports gun rights saying, "if my kin folk 400 years ago had guns, we wouldn't be having this conversation." He also said that, "anything that I have said that was taken as racist is a misconception."
"If I put myself in their place I can see the context, but how many times has anyone put themselves in my place?" Mitchell asked. "I don't have an apology, I just ask (Maxwell) to come up and look at the wall I have to face every day and know that everybody on that wall had slaves and benefited from it."
As seen in this exchange and in his subsequent comments, despite his claims he isn't all about about race, Rep. Mitchell is the only one constantly bringing race into the discussion.
Mitchell provided the media with copies of the emails he sent and received.

Can the officers of our state government change our constitution when the change is forbidden by the people? The Supreme Court of Alabama has ruled that it cannot in an opinion dealing with another matter where change is forbidden. You have sworn to support our constitution. You have defined a violation of an oath in an official proceeding as a class C felony (C.O.A. Section 13A-10-101 Perjury in the first degree).
Do not violate your oath of office by introducing additional gun control bills or by allowing those already enacted to remain in the body of our laws.

Rep. Mitchell and other members of the Legislature of Alabama,
That's not the type of reply I expect to receive from a state legislator. The lack of response to your racist comments from your fellow members speaks volumes about the state of our legislature as a whole.
I'm not a racist and I find your reply to be especially offensive considering the position you hold.
My parents and grandparents taught me to love God and my fellow man as myself. My father was threatened by members of his church back in 1954 for inviting a black family to attend the church he pastored.
My father-in-law was threatened when he hired a young negro man to work in his shop back in 1968 in a community where several neighbors were members of the Ku Klux Klan. He didn't allow those threats to keep him from treating people of all races equally.
In 1969, I was a draftee in the US Army and bunked with a young negro man named Earl Shinholster at Fort Benning. Earl later became a prominent leader of the NAACP back home in Georgia after serving with me in the Army. When I received numerous racist threats from negroes who knew I lived near Birmingham, Earl warned me of the knives they carried and cautioned me to be more careful around them. Earl had been watching me and he had come to know and respect me for my Christian values. Earl and I became friends and he helped me get through some tough times there.
Racism is not exclusive to my own people. I learned that before 1955. It is just as ugly now as it was then, regardless of the race of the person who is consumed by it.
I love my country and my state, and I vowed to support and defend our constitutions. I expect you and all of our representative to do the same.

Eddie. I grew up in Albany Ga. I was a military brat for most of my youth. Air Jump Master and DI USMC. Because I preference my issues with the values that I learned in 'the heat of battle' during the mid-fifties through the '70's and into today might tell you what and who I am. I find no need to define it or explain it to you because you can identify with the threats of reprisals against your folk for helping somebody of African Descent. I know ol' Ft. Benning and Columbus like the palm of my hand.
Where were you during the Albany Movement? Oh…. You shoulda been there. I am certain that your experiences through how your kin folk 'helped' colored folk would have helped us a lot when we were bombed in Albany, Leesburg, Newton and Sylvester.
I apologize for the restless nights your folk endured out of fear of the Klan. At least as they stood on the sidewalk watching my cousins and me get beat up by some of your neighbors they were able to push you out into the street to physically intervene. They did do that didn't they? Oh …. Well, I rear where you were one of the first to integrate the all-colored school to prove your parents point.
Do you that your fathers 'black' friend was unable to get FHA benefits? Knowing about those knives and stuff were of benefit but did you know that colored military typically carried knives to protect themselves from folk who looked like your father? Historically, violence on Black folk was committed by White folk. It's a fact but is it 'racist?' It is 'racial.' I had seven uncles and three aunts who served in three different 'encounters. My father was Regular Army.
Eddie, a person without the power to exercise a threat cannot be a racist because he or she will be eliminated. A person who can, by merely stepping back on the sidewalk' ore being quiet can support racism and benefit from the 'first hired,' affirmative action, preferential treatment fostered by systemic racism and bigotry.
It is unlikely that I, through sharing my many experiences on the receiving end, will convince you of your errors. For that matter, you will never convince me that our discomforts were comparable. Let the next generations resolve this continuing story.
Lock and load.

Jennifer Garner stars as Gray (the names appropriate as it matches her mood), an unfortunate woman left planning a funeral when she should be jetting off to her honeymoon in Hawaii. Her fiancé, Grady, was killed doing something sports-related days before their wedding and instead of sitting down to wedding cake, Gradys friends and family are forced to gather to mourn his death.
Lost without her man, Gray moves in with his two best friends - the quiet, organized, and thoughtful Dennis (Sam Jaeger) and Sam (Kevin Smith), the beer-guzzling, jovial buddy who spouts inspirational sayings. Also present on a temporary basis is Gradys friend Fritz (Timothy Olyphant), the only one of the bunch whos left Boulder, Colorado. Fritz, an attractive womanizer with an irresistible smile, is employed in the entertainment business and now makes his home in LA. And speaking of his irresistible smile, that asset is apparently what makes our heroine fall hard for a guy who, on the surface, appears to be as likely to settle down with one lady as he is to sprout wings.
The Acting
Timothy Olyphants Fritz could have been an intriguing character had Grant not emasculated him halfway through the story. Its not Olyphants fault and he still manages to prove his worth as a romantic leading man. Sam Jaeger doesn't fare as well although, to his credit, it's mostly due to the fact we're not really given the opportunity to see what he's capable of. Playing the third banana of the bunch - and the deceaseds most reliable and grounded friend - Jaegers characters so clichéd it feels as though its been plugged into this film after appearing in dozens of other romantic comedies. Jaegers playing that dependable guy who stays quiet about his love for his best friends girl until he thinks the moment is just right to move in. Yes, weve seen it before and it hardly ever works out well for the poor guy, does it?
The Bottom Line
Susannah Grant's a terrific screenwriter but somehow she missed the boat with Catch and Release. Characters dont so much evolve in natural ways as they do flip-flop and change to suit the needs of the story. Not to spoil the movie for you, but expect a dramatic turn by Kevin Smiths character thats completely out of line with the rest of the film. Plus, its difficult to understand why Gray wouldnt have a clue her recently deceased fiancé came from a wealthy family and might just have money of his own. And why doesnt this personable woman have any friends or family of her own? Do you hear that clinking noise? Its the chains of the plot left dangling
Grade: C
Catch and Release was directed by Susannah Grant and is rated PG-13 for sexual content, language and some drug use.

In 2005 for example, during Prom and Graduation Season (April, May, June), 676 students under the age of 21 were killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Consequently, prior to prom, many schools plan programs aimed at educating kids against the dangers of drinking. These programs feature special speakers, presentations and even displays of crashed vehicles to emphasize the danger.
Some groups utilize some form of a "sober contract," a promise that students sign agreeing to remain alcohol and drug free during the prom and graduation season.
At the event itself, many schools across the nation have begun using breathalyzers to test the blood alcohol content of prom-goers and turning away at the door those who have been drinking.
A Dangerous Season
Statistics show that Prom-Graduation season - the months of April, May and June - is the most dangerous time for teens. One-third of the alcohol-related traffic fatalities involving teens each year occur during those months.
"Prom and graduation season is here again - this is a time for celebration," says Susan Molinari, Chairman of The Century Council. "Unfortunately, these happy occasions sometimes involve underage drinking which can result in tragedy. It is no secret that children under 21 years old are drinking. It is therefore critical that parents keep the lines of communication open when it comes to talking to their kids about the dangers of underage drinking and drunk driving."
Prom Safety Tips from Cassandra Morris and Casey Lewis:
- April 25, 2008 at 11:38 am(1) Tom Bradford says:
The Century Council video is a fun and unique segue into a very serious and important topic. I cannot stress enough the importance of educating young people about the real consequences that accompany making the decision to get behind the wheel after having a few drinks.
I also agree that utilizing a sober contract or prom promise with teens can bridge the gap in communication often accompanying the topic of alcohol abuse. Another great resource for education on adolescent alcohol consumption is the THINK prom promise pledge campaign from Nationwide Insurance and MADD. There is information for parents and a program for students to pledge to remain alcohol-free during prom season and throughout the rest of the year.

A sector which, in 2001, employed, either directly or indirectly, over 7 million North Americans, is facing further trouble. Since December 2007, the auto sector has lost 27% of its jobs. That's almost 2 million people.
With Chrysler going into bankruptcy protection, the number of layoffs are going to climb. Everyone is hoping the merger with FIAT will save the day, but the reality is, the next several months are going to be tough. There is certainly good motivation for both automakers to work together: FIAT is a small, niche player and access to a greater variety of brands and a huge North American network will certainly be a boost, while Chrysler's motivation is more obvious - survival.
Still, deals can fall apart. Implementation may be unsuccessful. Supplier disruption is guaranteed as are supplier bankruptcies. How this will impact all the big players is anyone's guess but it won't be pretty.
Further government financing is inevitable.
Who's fault is it? Well, there is enough blame to go around including bad management, bloated unions, foreign competition, etc. Now, President Obama is blaming the secured debt holders for the failure to reach a deal. He's right of course but at issue is whether or not they can get a better deal in bankruptcy court than what Obama has so far offered (33 cents on the dollar).
Let's see if Obama's strategy of calling them 'vultures' will force concessions.
Regardless, the future of the auto sector is far from certain and, for the short term, additional pain is all but guaranteed.

|Grilled Pizza Sandwiches
Pitas or another kind of flatbread
Olive oil
Pizza sauce (thick, pasty sauces stay in place better)
Pizza toppings (bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, vegan cheese...)
1. Cut the pitas in half. Put half of your pitas aside and brush the other half with a little olive oil.
2. Flip the pitas upside down, oil-side down. Spread a little pizza sauce on the pitas, layer on the toppings, place the vegan cheese on top, and place the reserved pita halves on top of the cheese. Brush the top of the pitas with a bit of olive oil.
3. Cook according to your grill's manufacturers directions. Ours took about 5 minutes on each side (we flipped them half way through so they cooked more evenly)
Our toppings: Lightlife pepperoni slices, red and green bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives, onion and Vegan Gourmet cheese.

We have been experimenting with our new Black & Decker waffle maker and grill. It seems like everything we have eaten in the past couple of days has either been a waffle or a grilled sandwich.

text: As a single patent I often feel like I'm playing "Beat The Clock." I wake up, do laundry, get ready for work, get the kids off to school, work, puck up groceries in the way home, make dinner, pick one child up at school, bring the other to the library, help with homework and sign release slips, do the dishes, get them off to bed, wash more clothes, pay bilks, go to bed and start all over again in the morning. If I want to exercise, my window is from 4:30 to 5:30 am. So my question is...how do you make time for yourself? What do you do to rejuvenate?

Museum of Modern Art begins collecting video games for new exhibit
Museums must have something against Roger Ebert. First, the Smithsonian American Art Museum holds an exclusive video game event earlier this year, and now the New York City Museum of Modern Art is following suit.
MoMA is officially bringing in 14 videogame classics to begin an ongoing gaming collection that will go on display in March 2013 in the Philip Johnson Architecture and Design Galleries. Currently, the included games feature obvious choices such as Pac-Man, modern games like Portal, and obscure games like vib-ribbon. The collection MoMA is aiming for consists of about 40 titles, which will fall in as part of a "new category of artworks."
Read More | MoMA
- Pac-Man (1980)
- Tetris (1984)
- Another World (1991)
- Myst (1993)
- SimCity 2000 (1994)
- vib-ribbon (1999)
- The Sims (2000)
- Katamari Damacy (2004)
- EVE Online (2003)

True story: T_IFriday's just opened their first restaurant here in Bloomington. Last Friday, it took on a certain notoriety for serving a man a hamburger garnished with a finger tip. Meanwhile, one of the kitchen managers was on his way to the emergency room to get some stitches. Apparently, someone took the patron literally when he said he wasn't very hungry and asked for some finger food.
T_IFriday's spokeswoman, Amy Freshwater, soothed troubled waters, saying the restaurant would "absolutely not" suffer any loss of business because of the incident.
Whew, I was worried.
My desire to go to this restaurant again has been cut off, so to speak.
It's a good thing we chose Applebee's that night. We normally go to TGIFriday's on date nights. :)
This story is at cnn.com right now. Aren't you glad Bloomington is in the national news again?
So why the underscore? Is there a problem with Thank Goodness It's Friday?
Insert sarcastic emoticon here.
The CUSTOMER is supposed to leave the tip, not the kitchen manager. I would have expected human flesh to be served across the street at the China Buffet, or the Wendy's for that matter, but not good ol' Fridays. But I guess this is no time to point the finger, as it were.
I had to laugh at the false confidence of the spokeswoman who said the restaurant would absolutely not suffer any loss of business. That is why I got out of sales/marketing/PR, because I got sick of telling bold face lies.
To bad Tony Snow was hired by Bush, this lady would have fit right into to that job.
C'mon, who doesn't enjoy the occasional finger food?

One Charlotte City councilman has big plans for the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). Councilman James Mitchell wants the CIAA headquarters to move to Charlotte. Here's his message to the CIAA Board of Directors.
"Hey wouldn't you like to be a permanent fixture here," Mitchell said. "And let's talk about moving your headquarters and make Charlotte you new permanent home."
Mitchell says since Charlotte is becoming known as a sports destination, why not try to lure the headquarters from Hampton, VA to Charlotte, NC.
"As we continue to brand ourselves as a great amateur city," Mitchell said. "Having the CIAA headquarters here, that just gives us more credibility."
The politician says since Charlotte is getting a new baseball field and other improvements that makes Charlotte an attractive place for CIAA.
"Now you can have the CIAA baseball tournament," the council member said. "We are about to build an amateur facility on the Bojangles arena - now you can have the CIAA volleyball. Now you can feel very comfortable in Charlotte - you can do it all."
CIAA commissioner must first make a recommendation to move.
"It's a conversation we have to have," Commissioner Jacqie Carpenter said. "You are talking about uprooting staff and their families, my family. It's a process."
"We have an uphill battle," Mitchell said. "But I think it's a battle worth fighting for."
Mitchell says he is ready to offer the CIAA a deal it can't refuse.
"I put it on the same level of having Chiquita come." Mitchell said.
If a recommendation is made CIAA college presidents would have to vote on it. Some presidents are not convinced moving is the best thing to do.
"I think the board would have to look at a number of variables," Saint Augustine University President Dianne Suber said. "And I really do think whatever the board thinks is in the best interest of the conference,not individual schools but in the best interest of the conference. I think the board will make a good decision."
Mitchell wants to make a presentation to the CIAA board of directors sometime this summer.

Shuler's actions a campaign liability?
A blogger at TheHill.com today looked at the latest twist in the Heath Shuler situation.
In this post, Aaron Blake said Shuler's actions related to a water-access deal with TVA "are starting to look like a real electoral liability."
According to an IG's report, Shuler spoke with TVA's CEO about the water-access deal, despite his denials of such contact.
"Whatever the result of the land swap situation," Blake wrote, "reporters in Shuler's district are unlikely to take kindly to someone who they think lied to them."
