Praise for Janet Sarbanes' Army of One
As far as story structure goes, Sarbanes has some kind of mad PowerPoint jones. In the wrong hands, that could be a disaster — like some postmodern trick gone awry — but Sarbanes is a writer of great precision; each discrete chunk of prose is like a little seismic event. – Marc Weingarten, LA Weekly
Stingingly funny fiction debut . . . This reader can't shake a feeling … both silly and dead-serious, noble and self-incriminating, a mirage or Rorschach blot that shimmers beyond all manner of spirit-killing convention, and which Sarbanes gets at, story after story, from oblique and totally original angles. – Rachel Kushner, BOMB Magazine

The pilot of a small plane that experienced engine failure avoided disaster this afternoon, performing an off-runway landing in a field off the U.S. 31 bypass behind the FedEx Ground building.
Howard County Sheriff's deputies and Indiana State Police troopers responded to the emergency landing, where the pilot, Jerry Jumper, safely landed the aircraft just after noon.
When Jumper began to experience engine problems with the aircraft at 4,500 feet elevation, he realized he needed to make an emergency landing and attempted to head back to Kokomo Municipal Airport. Because the plane was malfunctioning, Jumper instead landed the plane while coming in from the northeast.
Howard County Sheriff's Department Capt. Jerry Asher said the off-runway landing was unusual and that he didn't believe the plane was experiencing any fuel issues because it had just taken off.
"It doesn't sound like he got too far," Asher said of Jumper's flight course. "The engine quit and he tried to start it up again through his training but he wasn't able to."
Jumper, who ferries airplanes from Kokomo to different airports across the country, was planning to fly the plane to Kentucky on Tuesday, Howard County Sheriff Steve Rogers said.

The Seagull
Posted by: APU Theater
The Seagull
Directed By: Rachel Tracie
Written By: Anton Checkov
Translated by David Magarshack
"People's destinies are so different. Some people drag along, unnoticed and boring—they're all alike, and they're all unhappy. Then there are others, they are one in a million. They are happy—."On a 19th-century Russian lakeside estate, the magic of summer evokes passion in three generations of self-doubting artists. Masha pines for the young writer Kostya, but Kostya yearns for the aspiring actress Nina, who is infatuated with the older novelist Trigorin. Trigorin "loves" both Nina and theatre diva Irina. Irina decidedly loves herself. And everyone aches for recognition, as artists and as human beings. Written in 1896, The Seagull is widely regarded as Chekhov's first masterpiece, subtly dissecting the affairs of the heart and the demands of a life in the arts, while balancing the comic, the lyric and the tragic in a manner that has become the hallmark of his work. Recommended for kids 14+ due to mood and complexity of show.

|BPA Home EE Home Energy Tips Do-It-Yourself Home Weatherization Guide Vapor Barrier and Ventilation Control
Vapor Barrier and Ventilation Control
Effective vapor barriers and good ventilation are important for a well insulated home. The normal activities of cooking, cleaning, and breathing all produce moisture in a heated house. Good vapor barriers will assure that most of the moisture from the heated house doesn't pass through the walls, ceiling, or floor of the building. Adequate ventilation, particularly in attics and crawl spaces, will prevent moisture from condensing on the insulation or the building structure.
Moisture can saturate insulation, drastically reducing its ability to resist heat loss. It can also cause mold, mildew, and other decay in building materials and insulation. Wet insulation is much heavier than dry insulation and can overload your ceiling, causing sagging or even more serious damage.
Vapor Barriers
Some insulation, such as batt or blanket or rigid board, is available with an attached vapor barrier. If you use loose fill insulation (as you might in the attic), sheets of 6-mil polyethylene may be stapled between ceiling joists throughout the attic as a vapor barrier. Special low perm paint is also available for this purpose. If you choose not to install a vapor barrier, you may have to increase ventilation to the area.
Walls cannot be ventilated in the way that attics and crawlspaces are, so you must provide a good vapor barrier. Use batt-type insulation with an attached vapor barrier facing or 6-mil polyethylene stapled across the studs. You may also apply a vapor barrier paint to the wall if it faces the heated space.
Vent openings in attics and crawl spaces must be placed so that air can flow in one opening, across the insulated area, and out the other (Fig. 9.1). This is usually made possible through cross-ventilation.
Crawl Spaces
Cross-ventilation can be achieved in crawl spaces by placing vents at direct opposite sides of the space. The Uniform Building Code recommends a venting area of 1 square-foot for each 150 square feet of crawl space/floor area.
When perimeter insulation is installed, special ventilation is required. This type of insulation is much less effective in cold weather if the crawl space is vented. Vents must be closed during cold weather and opened again when the heating season is over.
Attics are best ventilated by taking advantage of convection, the natural tendency of warm air to rise. In an attic, this is called the "chimney effect." Half of the vents are placed at the eaves (the lower part of the attic) and half at the gables or ridges above. The heat of the sun and the force of wind naturally provide attic cross-ventilation with this system.
Cross-ventilated attics must provide 1 square foot of net free area (NFA-see Glossary of Terms) for each 300 square feet of ceiling area (with or without a vapor barrier).
If the attic is not cross-ventilated (i.e., all vents are at the gables or at the soffits, or if there is not natural ventilation), increased ventilation may be recommended. If no vapor barrier is installed, 1 square foot NFA should be provided for each 150 square feet of ceiling area. If your attic does not provide this much ventilation, it may be easier to install a vapor barrier. Attics insulated with a vapor barrier must provide 1 square foot of NFA for each 300 square feet of ceiling area when not cross-ventilated.
Mesh screens and/or rain louvers can reduce the net free area of vents by as much as one-third. Unless the louvers have "free air" stamped on them, use Table C to find the net free area of vents when covered with various vent materials.
If passive ventilation isn't practical, you may install power ventilation. Ask your utility for help in locating and sizing the type appropriate for your situation. Air turbines are not acceptable.

LEWISTON — A 29-year-old mother of four was arrested Thursday night and charged with possessing more than $21,000 worth of the painkiller OxyContin.
Chasity Coy was arrested on a drug-trafficking charge after police and drug agents raided her home at 20 Howe St., uncovering hundreds of OxyContin tablets and a variety of other drugs.
Arrangements for the care of Coy's four children, ages 12, 10, 4 and 3, were made before she was taken to the county jail in Auburn, police said.
On Thursday night, Maine Drug Enforcement agents were joined by officers from Lewiston and Maine State Police as they went to Coy's first-floor apartment with a search warrant.
MDEA Supervisor Gerry Baril said the search uncovered two plastic baggies containing a total of 268 tablets of OxyContin, 80-milligram tablets of the prescription narcotic, in Coy's bedroom.
Baril said a glass jar containing a half-ounce of marijuana and a stack of bills totaling $1,000 were also found in the bedroom. In the kitchen, agents seized a marble mortar and pestle used to crush or powder substances such as tablets.
In the bathroom, agents seized a 2-ounce bottle of Inositol, a white powder commonly used to cut other drugs, 35 tablets of codeine and 33 tablets of Naproxen, 500-milligram tablets, Baril said. Both are narcotic painkillers.
Investigators said Coy did not have prescriptions for the OxyContin tablets and intended to sell the pills at the current street value of $1 per milligram, establishing the estimated street value at $21,440.
The charges against Coy are considered aggravated because she allegedly had 8,000 milligrams of OxyContin with intent to sell it. Coy also has a prior conviction. In 2006, she was convicted of trafficking and furnishing an illegal drug.

We have an update for you on the search for a shooting suspect.
Police say Kenny D. Lee is in custody right now and is being questioned.
Lee is a suspect in the shooting of his 6 year old son.
The St. Joseph County Prosecutor's office charged Lee with Attempted Battery and Criminal Recklessness Friday.
Police say the boy and Lee were visiting a house near Olive St. and Prast Blvd. around 11:30pm when the shooting happened. A fight reportedly broke out between the Lee and his son's uncle, Jerome Holloway.
Lee's niece told police that Lee eventually left the house and started riding away on a bike. He then reportedly stopped, pulled a handgun, and shot at Holloway. She said the shot missed and hit Lee's son instead.
Court documents describe the boy's injury as serious. They go on to say that doctors were unsure whether his entire leg and foot could be saved.
Anyone with information on this case, is asked to call the South Bend Police Department at 574-235-9263 or Crime Stoppers at 574-288-STOP (7867).

Officers and detectives shared their insight into Detective Hobbs, the hero detective who despite being shot continued fighting to protect his partner. "Everything that you want to say about John Hobbs is true, he was a great officer," said Lt. Sal Freni. They worked with Det. John Hobbs every day catching dangerous fugitives. Six members of the major offender bureau broke their silence Thursday. "John was a great cop because he was a great man. John was a great cop because he was a great husband and father," said Det. Cory Geffre. After 21 years on the force, Hobbs won the distinguished service award for arresting a wanted fugitive named Angel Padilla who was accused of shooting at an officer 37 times. "I think he embodied everything it is to be a police officer and what that badge stands for, and he upheld that until the day he died," said Sgt. Bob Knapp. And on the day Hobbs died he talked about getting his income tax refund to Lt.. Freni, "He said well I'm going to take my wife out either for a special dinner by ourselves without the kids or a special weekend. He goes I haven't determined yet, I said well that will be fun, he said it will be I love her to death". Lt. Freni commended the actions of Hobbs who despite being mortally wounded fought to protect his fellow officers. "He took a mortal wound. The bullet penetrated his heart and from a down position on his side he was able to put shots on target to stop the suspect... He spoke all the way to the hospital and fought for another hour in the emergency room for his life" said Freni. "There is no way that man was going to stand by and let that knucklehead run into a building and take somebody hostage or shoot somebody else. So what he did is he stood there and he died fighting," said Det. Geffre.

This didn't really start out to be a project at all.
I made a new medium-sized crosscut sled for my table saw a couple of weeks ago. It also includes a reversible miter fence. So I was just fooling around with it, cutting various small pieces from scraps, when a pattern started to form in my head. Pretty soon I had a reasonable facsimile of a box lid glued up, and it was just a matter of making a box to go under it. There is no inlay on the top…. it is all solid pieces glued into a pattern. Woods used (all scrap) include oak, walnut, maple, padauk, and mystery wood for the removable tray's bottom. Finish is BLO, buffed on my 3-wheel system.
And if anybody followed Rich Greer's thread on mistakes, you may know that this box started out to be about an inch taller than the final version. :-)

It's 1985. You want to look preppy or rebellious or young. You
want to look modern. You want to show the world that you're
trendy. What's the easiest way to do this?
Pop your collar, baby!
Though I was wildly unaware of it at the time (although I
certainly knew the word "preppy" in the eighties) there was a
book that got the whole upturned-collar-on-the-polo-shirt ball
rolling. It was Lisa Birnbach's satirical The Official
Preppy Handbook, published in 1980. It informed us that a
popped collar broadcast the fact
that its wearer was "preppy." A
quick check on Amazon showed me that owners of this book are
quite proud of it. Right now I see one copy for $100 and a
"Completely Outstanding Gift Edition" for $245. Radical.
Birnbach's book, though tongue-in-cheek,
explained that the elite of America do all sorts of fun, snobby, and
silly things. What easier way to appear to be one of the in-crowd than
to raise the collar of your tennis shirt? Anyone could do it.
Here's the basic look in a vintage 80s
Hunt Club shirt (see pic 2). Well, minus the blue hair.
We loved it on an earnest
Corey Hart
singing about his sunglasses in 1983 (see pic 3). (OHMIGAWD! Can I
tell you that I just learned the real lyrics to this song? It's "Don't
masquerade with the guy in shades," NOT "Don't MESS AROUND with the guy
in shades." Although I think my lyrics totally make more sense.)
We loved it on Duran Duran (see pic 4).
(Oh, John Taylor, you were always the cutest. I loved you in Duran
Duran, I loved you in Power Station. Simon was okay, but you, with your
silent hotness, were the BEST.)
2. Basic "popped collar" look(Credit to
Groovin Tuesday)
3. Cover of Corey Hart's
Sunglasses at
Night single
4. Duran Duran
We saw Molly Ringwald's Claire, the
spoiled girl, pop the collar of her leather jacket in The Breakfast
Club, and Judd Nelson's angry-hot John Bender pop the collars of
his flannel shirt and denim jacket:
(OHMIGAWD! They totally show the brat pack smoking
pot in the actual
trailer! Different days, huh?)
We loved it in 1983's The Outsiders,
which was chock-full of swoonworthy young men (see pic 5). Tom Cruise,
Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell,
AND Ralph Macchio. What a lineup! Also a great example of collar-popping
that was tough and gritty, as opposed to the pastel Izod variety:
Even Steve Jobs was popping his collar
back in the day, people (see pic 6).
Popped collars were undeniably cool. We
layered the shirts, too, for a double or multi-popped effect (see pic
7). They do frame the face nicely, don't you think? Kind of a machine
washable Elizabethan collar for the 1980's, no?
5. Cast of The Outsiders
6. Steve Jobs
7. Double Pop (Credit to
And as to the burning question: Are they
coming back?
Former First Lady, Laura Bush, is rockin' the popped collar on the cover
of her book, Spoken from the Heart (see pic 8), as is
ABC World News anchor, Dianne Sawyer (see pic 9). Pop it
8. Laura Bush's Spoken
from the Heart

After listening to this song from Usher,
I'm totally ready:
Pop Ya Collar - Usher

totally fabulous 80s fashions?

Why We Aren't Worried About Pandora's Active User Count
Gitalong Advisors • Tue, Aug. 12 • 49 Comments
- Short-Seller's attempts to confuse the facts, notwithstanding, Pandora has and continues to dominate the streaming music space.
- While many short-focused bloggers have focused exclusively on active user additions, hours streamed, revenue and profitability are at least as important metrics for Pandora.
- We are very confident Pandora will continue to not only grow active users but more significantly, we expect gross profit to rise meaningfully in Q3 and to inflect in Q4.

Free Credit Correction
This petition is for anyone that feels that they have an error reporting on their credit that may be causing them financial strain. Statistically, 79% of all credit reports have at least one error. One error can cost a consumer anywhere from 4 credit score points to 60 credit score points. Consumers are financing more and more everyday, and the chances of the credit being accurate are very slim. This means that the interest fees and down payments are considerably higher because of the lower, inaccurate credit score. Consumers need to know that their credit score is valid before they make any financial decisions that involve their personal credit rating.

B a Hero!
See a doctor who tests for hepatitis B.
Download this patient ask form and take it to your doctor today!
Free Workshops
Free health workshops are available for community groups and organizations based in San Francisco. For more details, click here.
The San Francisco Hep B Free Clinican's Honor Roll acknowledges primary care clinicians who have signed a pledge to screen patients at risk for chronic Hepatitis B infections in accordance with CDC guidelines. The goal is to have 90% of an estimated 1,500 primary care providers pledge.
This initiative is being tracked by Health Matters in San Francisco and is the only citywide health indicator that measures clinician awareness. It is being coordinated through the AsianWeek Foundation in partnership with Communicable Disease Control and Prevention at the San Francisco Dept. of Public Health.
Download Honor Roll
Download Honor Roll Pledge Form
In the fall of 2009, the San Francisco Hep B Free campaign began publication of the Hep B Free Clinician's Honor Roll to promote the growing number of doctor's offices that are testing patients and working to prevent liver cancer and Hepatitis B disease.
"It should be standard of care for all primary care physicians to screen and test Asian and Pacific Islanders for hepatitis B," said Mitch Katz, MD, Executive Director of the San Francisco Department of Public Health. "We want to highlight those who are already actively working to prevent hepatitis B in San Francisco; and to inspire other physicians to do the same."
"We applaud all those already on the SF Hep B Free Clinician's Honor Roll" he emphasized.
The list will be widely publicized among peers, patients and the public at large. It will run on a regular basis in publications including the San Francisco Medical Society Magazine, mainstream news outlets, digital media, and ethnic media such as Sing Tao Daily, Philippine News and AsianWeek.com.
Establishing the Clinician Honor Roll follows the release last year of new national screening guidelines for Hepatitis B established by the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia. SF Hep B Free's goal is to have every primary care provider to routinely screen their patients for Hep B.
"As a doctor in a city where more than one third of residents are Asian, I always make it a priority to screen my Asian and Pacific Islander patients for hepatitis B, which gravely affects 1 in 10, and can lead to liver cancer and death," said Dr. Lisa Wing-Yee Tang, of Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco. "I encourage my colleagues to screen as well. This is a disease that can be prevented and I am determined to do what I can to stop the spread of this disease." Tang chairs the SF Hep B Free Clinicians Outreach Committee.
The San Francisco Hep B Free Clinician Honor Roll includes any clinician who has completed a Patient Follow Up form from the San Francisco Department of Public Health Chronic Viral Hepatitis Registry before August 2009. Other physicians can join the Honor Roll by signing a pledge (1) to screen patients at risk for HBV infections in accordance with CDC guidelines, and (2) to respond to information requests from the SFDPH regarding patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Susan Fernyak, MD, Director of Communicable Disease Control and Prevention, hopes the Honor Roll will include every eligible physician in San Francisco.
"We encourage all physicians serving adults - including obstetricians, gynecologists, and family practitioners, to sign the new pledge form as a commitment to collaborate with the San Francisco Department of Public Health in its efforts to prevent the transmission of hepatitis B in San Francisco," said Dr. Fernyak.
"San Francisco has the highest liver cancer rate in the nation, and if doctors make a conscious effort to screen for this disease, we can one day eradicate hepatitis B," added Dr. Tang.
The SF Hep B Free Honor Roll project is being coordinated through the AsianWeek Foundation in partnership with the SF Department of Public Health. For more information, email Angela Pang or call (415) 321-5894.

Book a stay at our Cheektowaga hotels to explore the grandeur of nearby Niagara Falls and dine at the legendary Anchor Bar, birthplace of Buffalo wings, in downtown Buffalo.
Our hotels in Cheektowaga are a short drive from Niagara Falls, one of the great natural wonders of the world. Get up close to the thunderous spray on the Maid of the Mist, an open-air boat that takes you deep into the base of the falls, surrounded by towers of cascading waters. Guests return to our Cheektowaga hotels via downtown Buffalo and top off their day with a plate of hot chicken wings at the Anchor Bar, where the recipe for Buffalo wings was concocted in 1964. Order a cool beverage to soothe the heat of the legendary wings, available in five levels of spiciness.
From our Cheektowaga hotels, it's an easy 15-minute drive to Delaware Park in north Buffalo. Designed by the same landscape architect who drew up New York City's Central Park, Delaware Park contains several public gardens, an 18-hole golf course, and the child-friendly Buffalo Zoo. Kids love the zoo's newest and largest exhibit—the 18,000-square-foot Rainforest Falls habitat, complete with its own two-story waterfall. Just outside Delaware Park is the expansive Darwin Martin House Complex, one of six homes near our hotels in Cheektowaga designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Take a guided tour to learn about the architect's meticulous placement of the structure's several hundred windows.
Choose a room at our Holiday Inn® Cheektowaga hotels to get close to the region's natural and manmade wonders, from the majesty of Niagara Falls to the tranquility of Delaware Park and the fiery flavors of Buffalo wings.

Anhui based JAC have had a major rise over the past five years. The truck manufacturer turned its hand to car manufacturing rather late after a succesful partnership with Hyundai that saw the company rise on the back of its MPV products, later JAC introduced its small car range which is really what took it higher in the Chinese car sales grid.
The company are planning to unveil a production ready JAC SUV-S2 at the Beijing Auto Show later this month, the company's first SUV was based on the second generation Hyundai Sante-Fe which has quickly become outdated. The new S2 is clearly ahead of the market in design terms and is on par with its international rivals when reviewing the spec sheet. JAC have developed their own 1.5T and a new six speed dual clutch gearbox which are apparently being installed in the S2 when it makes it to the production line.
As well as the 1.5T engine JAC are apparently also preparing a 1.8L naturally aspirated model as well as diesel models, which could indicate the S2 SUV is heading elsewhere in the world where diesel is favored. Stop-Start systems will also be installed as standard according to information revealed by JAC. A Beijing Auto Show launch is being expected although it has not yet been confirmed.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers game on Monday Night Football was supposed to kick off just a minute or so ago. But the game hasn't kicked off because the power has gone out in Candlestick Park. As you can see in the lower left corner of ESPN's aerial shot, it appears that a nearby transformer blew, taking out the power in and around the stadium:
Two light standards are producing enough light inside the stadium for limited visibility. But it might be a while before football is played.— Matt Maiocco (@MaioccoCSN) December 20, 2011
Other reporters on the scene report being informed by 49ers personnel that a backup generator is on it's way and power should be restored soon. When the game will actually kick off is another question, because they would need to make sure that the lights will not go out once again.
For more on the Steelers head over to Behind The Steel Curtain. For more on the 49ers, check out Niners Nation. Follow the rest of Week 15 at SB Nation NFL.

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP)--Todd Bentley's healing ministry has gained national attention. His daily meetings for the past three months in Lakeland, Fla., have attracted hundreds of thousands from all over the world. The press has begun to question Bentley's legitimacy -- Is his financial accounting above board? Are miracles really happening? I want to raise some more personal concerns.
On July 3, my wife, three children and I attended Bentley's "impartation service" in Denton, Texas, north of Dallas. Why? We have twin 7-year-old boys, one of whom is autistic (largely nonverbal, still not fully toilet trained, serious developmental delays). Friends urged that we attend the meeting for his miraculous healing.
Call us stubborn, but my wife and I are unimpressed with doctors who see our son's condition as hopeless. We believe that God still heals and that His means of healing include conventional medicine, alternative medicine, prayer, fasting, love and, yes, miracles. In any case, we haven't given up on our son's recovery (we still remember the day when he was developmentally on track). So if God wanted to use Todd Bentley, we were open to it.
As faith healers go, Bentley is unconventional. Exhibiting black shirt, baggy jeans, tattoos and piercings, he prefers grunge to Gucci. But his appearance wasn't a problem for my wife or me. God in the Bible used many unconventional people. The problem for us was the manipulation, hype and agenda that seemed to pervade the meeting.
It was a 130-mile drive for my family to get to the meeting. When we called the organizers, they urged us to get there by 3 p.m. even though the meeting didn't start till 7 p.m. The venue (a basketball arena) seated 8,500 people, yet the organizers told us to expect 14,000 people to show up. So the only way to be sure of getting a seat was to get there early.
We therefore piled the kids into the minivan early afternoon, arriving around 4:30. At 6:30, after sitting for two hours, the arena was about three-quarters full. One of the organizers then announced that traffic was backed up for miles around Denton and that several thousand were trying to get into the meeting, most of whom would have to be turned away. This was sheer hype. A significant block of seats (at least 20 percent) were cordoned off and never used throughout the whole night. We could have arrived anytime and still gotten seats.
At 7, Keith Miller (the chief organizer, www.sfwm.org) started things off. After prompting the audience to perform ritualistic acts of worship (stand up, raise your hands, say after me ...), he passed the baton to a young woman singer and her backup band. The sound system was terrible -- sounds were loud and distorted. The music was repetitive in the extreme. In almost two hours of this "music ministry," only a handful of songs were sung, and many of them seemed to consist of only one or two phrases.
Finally, around 9 p.m. Bentley began to speak. He devoted much of his message to the visions he has received and the miracles he claims have happened in his ministry. Then, almost as an afterthought, he spent a few minutes preaching from the Bible (John 5). In fact, he admitted that he was having us open the Bible simply so that it couldn't be said that he didn't preach from the Bible. So much for reverencing the Scriptures.
Nowhere in Bentley's message did I see an emphasis on the love and compassion of God -- that healing is an expression of God's goodness and care for humanity. Rather, the emphasis throughout was on power -- the power to heal and be healed.
Bentley told stories of remarkable healings. In fact, he claims that in his ministry 30 people have now been raised from the dead. Are these stories credible? A common pattern in his accounts of healing was an absence of specificity. Bentley claims that one man, unembalmed, had been dead for 48 hours and was in a coffin. When the family gathered around at a funeral home, the man knocked from inside the coffin to be let out.
But what are the specifics? Who was this man? What's his name? Where's the death certificate? And why not parade the man at Bentley's meetings? If I am ever raised from the dead through anyone's ministry, you can be sure I'll put in a guest appearance. Bentley claims that he is having a team investigate healings performed under his ministry and will soon go public with the evidence. I look forward to seeing it.
After preaching, Bentley took the offering. During the offering he asked "How much anointing do you want to receive?" Thus he linked the blessing we should receive with the amount of money we gave.
After the offering, Bentley said a general prayer for mass healing. People who thought they were healed then came forward. But I saw no obvious or dramatic evidence of healing. After the general prayer for mass healing, Bentley indicated that he would pray for the severest cases.
At this point, a friend who was with us urged that she and my wife take our son with autism down for prayer (I stayed with our other son and daughter). Over an hour later my son with autism was still not able to get to the main floor for prayer. Ushers twice prevented that from happening. They noted that he was not in a wheelchair. Wheelchair cases clearly had priority -- presumably they provided better opportunities for the cameras, which filmed everything. They also invoked the fire marshals, who, they claimed, prohibited too many people on the floor of the arena. But earlier in the service, during the worship time, they had packed the floor with people singing and whooping it up.
After midnight we were told that it would be an hour and a half before our son could get prayer. At that point, we got up and left. Yet the story doesn't end there. When we got to the minivan, our other son remembered that he had left his Bible in the arena. When my wife went back to retrieve it, everybody, including Bentley, had suddenly cleared out. Staying an hour and a half would not have mattered.
Our son was refused prayer twice because he didn't look the part, and he was told to wait still longer for a prayer that would never have been offered. And even those who looked the part seemed to look no better after Bentley's prayer -- the exodus from the arena of people bound in wheelchairs was poignant.
My son's situation was not unique -- a man with bone cancer and his wife traveled a long distance, were likewise refused prayer, and left in tears. People with needs were shortchanged. It seemed that power, prestige and money (in that order) were dominating motives behind the meeting. Minimal time was given to healing, though plenty was devoted to assaulting our senses with blaring insipid music and even to Bentley promoting and selling his own products (books and CDs).
Neither my wife nor I regret going. It was an education. Our kids are resilient. But the ride home raised a question. We found ourselves avoiding talking about the event until the children fell asleep. Then, as they drifted off in the early morning, we talked in hushed tones about how easily religion can be abused, in this case to exploit our family. What do we tell our children? I'm still working on that one.

A baseball bat given by Tigers legend Ty Cobb to Detroit's postmaster will be auctioned off during All-Star week.
The century-old, 34.5-inch bat used by "The Georgia Peach" is available to the highest bidder through Hunt Auctions.
It belongs to a descendant of William Nagel, who was a friend of Cobb's. Nagel also sometimes threw batting practice to Cobb.
Nagel's great-grandson, Duffy Ross, is the one who's selling off the bat through the auction at MLB All-Star FanFest in New York. The auction ends on Tuesday.
The estimated price range for the bat is $75,000 to $125,000.
Ross says "it's nice to know" his great-grandfather "played even a small role in the success of 1 of baseball's all-time greats."

Two quarters after newly crowned Miami Dolphins starter Chad Pennington left the field with a right shoulder injury, Chad Henne again relinquished the football, this time due to a knee injury. He headed into the locker room to have his left knee looked at alongside Pennington.
The Dolphins then bought time until the fourth quarter by just running the Wildcat to avoid using third-string QB Tyler Thigpen. According to one of the NFL's most confusing rules, if a team plays its third-stringer before the fourth quarter, it can't return its second-stringer for the rest of the game. Luckily, Miami's is the NFL's offense best prepared to operate without a quarterback, as they do this kind of thing on purpose all the time anyway.
Thigpen eventually took over in the fourth, leading the Dolphins to nine more points to put the game away. Many NFL teams only enter Sundays with two active quarterbacks, but when one of your quarterbacks is Chad Pennington, it's wise to retain a third.

Bubo virginianus
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Markus J. Clement
With its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It's one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics.
Great Horned Owls advertise their territories with deep, soft hoots with a stuttering rhythm: hoo-h'HOO-hoo-hoo. The male and female of a breeding pair may perform a duet of alternating calls, with the female's voice recognizably higher in pitch than the male's. Young owls give piercing screams when begging for food, while adults may scream to defend the nest. Adults make an array of other sounds, including whistles, barks, shrieks, hisses, coos, and wavering cries.
Great Horned Owls snap their bills in response to stressful conditions or disturbance, particularly when potential predators (such as humans) approach their young.

Parks employee Ryan Perigo dug an area for a concrete pad around a bench, and employees built scaffolding to support a bench swing while its concrete foundation hardens. Parks director George Bryant said the swing was able to be placed thanks to the donations of Toni Federici and Continental Tire the Americas.

Consultation by faculty members with outside organizations can be a source of valuable professional experience a well as being, in some cases, a source of additional income. The University permits such consultation, subject to the conditions, in this policy statement. For those on full-time service to the University, the guiding principle is that University duties are the primary obligation of the faculty member while consultation is a personal activity.
Although obligations of faculty are multifaceted and often cannot be precisely defined in number of hours, there is increasing pressure on universities to provide a reasonable accounting of the professional activities of full-time employees. Because of the complexity of these obligations and the difficulty in reporting faculty activities, it has generally been accepted that universities place limits as a matter of policy on the amounts of time and effort full-time faculty members may devote to outside consulting. The intent of this policy is to provide faculty members with maximum flexibility to exercise their consulting privilege within established limits.
During semesters of full time service to the University, consulting work for outside organizations is limited to the equivalent of four days per month. Consulting work must be performed on personal time and should not detract from the faculty member's primary obligations to the University. Written requests for permission to consult should specify the organization with which the work is concerned, a statement of the amount of time required, the period of the consulting arrangement, and whether the work will or will not interfere with responsibilities to the University. The request should have the approval of the department chair and the appropriate dean. Authority for granting permission resides with the Provost. If there is any possibility of interference with primary obligations, the faculty member should not engage in the consulting work or should request a leave of absence or a salary reduction.
The facilities and services of the University may not be used in connection with compensated outside work, except in a purely incidental way. In cases where a member of the faculty wishes to use the facilities and services of the University in connection with outside consulting activities, appropriate arrangements to compensate the University must be made in advance with the Office of the Vice President for Administration.
To avoid conflicts between the primary obligations of the faculty member to the University and the terms of the consulting or other agreements with a third party, the following clause must be included in any such agreements:
In the event the terms and conditions of this agreement are in conflict with the terms and conditions of employment with the State University of New York at Stony Brook, or with those of grants or contracts administered by the Research Foundation of SUNY for which I perform service, the latter shall prevail.

Two separate incidents involving jack-knifed semi trucks slowed traffic in Ohio and Kentucky on Thursday morning.
A jack-knifed tractor trailer slowed traffic on SB I-75 just south of Hopple Street.
It happened around 10:30 a.m.
Earlier on Thursday, a jack-knifed tractor trailer temporarily shut down northbound I-75 in Boone County, but all lanes are now reopen. The accident occurred at the 173 mile marker, just north of the I-71/75 split.
No injuries were reported in either accident.

Robins boss unaware of Blades interest in Nolan
12:04pm Wednesday 28th March 2012 in Sport
Carshalton Athletic boss Paul Dipre has admitted he was unaware of Sheffield United's interest in youngster Luke Nolan, writes James Barrett.
The 18-year-old, whose contract has an option to run until the end of next season, has impressed for the Robins this term and is reported to have caught the eye of the Blades and fellow League One outfit Stevenage.
And Dipre insisted they were not the only ones to take an interest in the former Crystal Palace trialist.
"Two other league clubs and a Championship side have registered their interest, although I was unaware of both Stevenage's and Sheffield United's interest until I read about it in the press," said Dipre.
"Luke had trails with Crystal Palace at age 15, but was not signed.
"He is a very talented young man. He is good technically, has pace, strength, great ball control and he can scores goals.
"He has everything you could wish for and, being just 18, he has a massive future ahead of him.
"There is no rush, however. Luke knows that he has to keep his head down and carry on working hard.
"Nothing will happen overnight, but I am sure he will get a chance to go professional sooner rather than later."
Nolan has racked up 30 first team appearances and scored five goals so far this season, including a cracking run and finish in Carshalton's 5-0 FA Trophy win against Bishop's Stortford.

UPDATED 1:45 p.m. Oct. 19 with a more favorable, accurate sky cover forecast.
The offspring of Halley's Comet are about to put on quite a show in the sky above Alpharetta and Milton.
Earth will pass through a stream of debris from Halley's Comet that started earlier this week, which will give us the benefit of the annual Orionids meteor shower—though you probably won't see much until a bit later.
The shower should be at its peak the night of Saturday, Oct. 20, until just before dawn on Oct. 21. This year, the moon will be setting at approximately midnight, which will keep the sky darkened enough that—barring cloud cover—you should be able to see up to 15 meteors per hour.
NASA says the best time to look is before sunrise on Sunday, Oct. 21. That's when Earth encounters the most dense part of Halley's debris stream. Wake up a few hours before dawn, go outside and look up. No telescope is required to see Orionids shooting across the sky.
Where to Watch
Your own backyard works. If you are in a subdivision and can't find a piece of sky overhead that isn't washed out by street lights, consider heading over to the tennis courts – but don't turn on the lights! If you have friends in Milton with an outdoor horse show ring that has some bleacher seats, turn on the charm and convince them to throw a meteor watch party. But you'll probably have to bring the hot chocolate.
Live NASA Chat
Join the NASA chat on the Orionids, planets and constellations that brighten October skies. NASA astronomer Mitzi Adams will be answering your questions via live Web chat on Saturday, Oct. 20 from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. EDT.
Too Cloudy, Cold, or You Just Can't Leave the Kids Home Alone?
If it's cloudy where you live, or you don't like the cooler temperatures this late at night – or early in the morning – you can visit the same NASA site for a live video stream of the meteor shower. No, it's not the same thing as being outside, but you'll know what to look for when you do get out there.
Stay Warm, Skies Will Be Clear
Bundle up more than usual, since you'll be standing or sitting still. The temperatures will be in the mid to low 40s overnight, according to the National Weather Service forecast. If you are walking the dog, that's jacket weather. But if you are not moving, you'd better layer up and put on a sweater or hoodie under that jacket. Wear a hat or pull up that hood on the hoodie, and consider wearing gloves if you're outside for a while. Consider bringing out the chaise lounge and recline so you don't strain your neck looking up for so long.
A previous version of this article had the wrong day's sky cover listed, so good news, star gazers: At 6 percent sky cover it should be pretty clear to see those meteors streaking overhead..
What makes this shower so cool?
First of all, it's a show of shooting stars.
Also, though, there's no question about where to look for this one. Meteor showers get their names from the constellations in the sky where they can be spotted. And what's easier to spot than Orion the Hunter?
The stars tend to shoot from Orion's club, pierce Taurus the Bull, the Gemini twins, Leo the Lion and finally, Canis Major, home of Sirius, the brightest star we can see—well, aside from the sun.
There's also something else that's special about this show: With the second-fastest entry velocity of all the annual meteor showers, meteors from the Orionids produce yellow and green colors and occasionally produce an odd fireball.
Obviously, though, you'll have more luck catching the shooting stars if you're in a place not polluted by light.
Are you watching the meteor shower this week? Tell us what you see, and share any pictures by adding them to this story.
