With a LOA of 50'10" (15.5 m) the Sea Ray 510 Fly can be powered with either conventional V-drives or pods. Bow and stern thrusters are available and can be tied to a joystick.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Sea Ray 510 Fly is to serve as the impetus for the company's entry into the yachting market, or more importantly, to expand well beyond the bowriders and express cruisers that have served them so well. The first model will be the 510 Fly and she is to serve as the benchmark that the other yachts will emulate and build off of. Two others are planned, a 650 and the third to be positioned somewhere between these two, we are told.
Distinguishing Features
• Customization available to suit individual needs
• Choice of a Propulsion System: Twin standard V-drive or optional Zeus pods
• Joystick Available: Whether pods or V-drive propulsion is chosen, both are offered with joystick functionality. With the V-drive choice, the drives will be linked to the bow thruster via the joystick.
• Multiple master stateroom configurations
• Optional crew quarters, or a standard lazarette
• Convertible seating, lounging and dining areas on the flying bridge
• Exterior Stairs to the Flying Bridge – While this may not necessarily be a unique feature, it is significant as it allows for more room in the salon
• Standard Lower Helm – Often we see a lower helm station being moved to the options list and many don't select it. This means that the flying bridge has to be committed to full time use and that means surrounding the whole thing in isinglass. Here, the flying bridge can be used in pleaseant conditions, and when the weather turns inclement, simply transition to the lower helm. Now the looks and distinguished profile of this beautiful yacht can remain intact.
Mooring System- Sea Ray provides an electric anchor windlass for chain and rope, which has foot switches. In the anchor locker there is a raw water washdown spigot. A galvanized anchor is standard and polished stainless steel is optional.
Standard Air Conditioning – Sea Ray went with a 40,000 BTU air conditioning system that should provide more than enough cooling to keep the interior comfortable on the warmest southern lat days, even with the greenhouse effect of the huge glass windows taken into account. It's also a reverse cycle system so Northern boaters will also be kept comfortable in the shoulder seasons.
Radar Arch – The standard arch not only provides for a mounting point for the antenna array, but also for the optional Bimini top. With that, the flying bridge has shade when needed and sun when wanted.
LED Lighting – Sea Ray has transitioned completely away from the high-heat/high-load halogen lights and gone completely to LED lighting that provides better lighting without the heat or high demands on the electrical system. They also last significantly longer and are safer.
Features Inspection
The flying bridge provides an aft gathering area, a double-wide seat next to the helm, and a forward sun pad. A small "flying galley" option is available. Note the raised sun pad to port in front of the table.
Flying Bridge
The flying bridge is as much a functional operational area as it is a welcoming gathering area. The starboard-mounted helm has a pair of bucket seats behind it. Directly across to port is a double-wide bench seat positioned behind a table allowing a total of four sets of eyes the ability to look forward in addition to providing the captain with some much welcome company. Additional scenery can be provided thanks to the sun pad just forward of the portside seating.
To the aft end of the flying bridge is U-shaped seating creating an inviting atmosphere for dining around a standard fiberglass table. An upgrade to a teak table is offered that would complement the optional teak decking. In either case, the dining area comes with a commanding view of the surroundings.
"Flying Galley." A refrigerator is included as standard under the wet bar counter. A grill and sink can be ordered and will be placed between the fore and aft seating areas. An optional fiberglass hardtop is available that includes lighting, a sunroof and an electrically retractable skylight. We think this option should be considered by people planning on doing serious cruising in the 510. With the addition of isinglass, it creates another three-season living space on the boat for relatively little money.
The standard arch provides an easy spot for mounting antennas and serves as a secure point for attaching an optional Bimini top. A hardtop is also offered.
A pair of 12" (30 cm) Raymarine e125 widescreen displays are offered for the flybridge helm. One is a GPS Chartplotter and a repeater for the primary color LCD, radar/GPS/chartplotter with an integrated 4 kW HD open array radar. This helm also includes a SmartCraft VesselView and an autopilot between the twin displays.
Underway the flying bridge will undoubtedly be the most popular spot on the 510 Fly. Here we can see the placement of the optional grill to the port side.
The main deck allows dual gathering areas, one inside and one outside. Opposing seating in the salon makes for a comfortable conversational area. The galley and lower helm station are elevated from the salon providing better views as well as an overview of the guests, and their needs, just aft.
Main Deck
The main deck is designed to provide maximum visibility and comfort while at the same time allowing for blending in the outside and inside with a seamless separation of the two areas. Opposing sofas provide a welcome conversational area and low windows allow clear sightlines to the horizon even from the seated position. This layout maximizes seating in a 51-footer, permitting 8 people to comfortably sit in the salon.
Dinner for 6. To starboard is the entertainment center tucked into the starboard aft corner of the salon. With a table leaf that folds out, and the addition of two folding chairs inboard, the table can seat 6 for dinner.
Good Galley Design. The elevated galley and lower helm are just two steps above the salon level and this provides a welcome overview of the gatherings while increasing the headroom in the staterooms below. Because the galley runs fore and aft the U-shape permits two people to work in the galley at once. This is an improvement, in our opinion, over conventional galleys with a dead-end aisle running from inside the boat outboard where only one person can easily work.
The standard refrigerator and freezer and the microwave oven are all below the counter and there is a sizeable amount of counter space for food prep. While we usually prefer a stand-up refrigerator/freezer, in this case such an option would destroy the 360-degree visibility as well as being an eyesore.
The usual cast of features are standard on the 510 signifying that this is indeed a cruising yacht and not a yacht that cruises when options are selected. The standards list includes freezer with icemaker next to the refrigerator, both with stainless steel fronts, a microwave/convection oven, a storage pantry, two-burner electric stove, solid surface counter and a coffeemaker.
Aft Deck. Moving aft, the cockpit is fully fiberglass lined for easy washdowns and is good-sized. Stairs to the flying bridge are to the starboard side and this opens up more useable space inside the salon. The lazarrette provides dedicated line and fender stowage. As an option a small crew cabin can be fitted in this space instead of stowage.
Cocktails/Dinner for 8? A bench seat provides the outdoor comfort and an optional portside seat converts the bench into L-shaped seating. A fiberglass table comes standard. Most folks will probably swap it for a teak one. With a large triangular teak table or one with opening leafs, and the addition of two folding chairs, we bet eight people can be seated here for cocktails or dinner.
Enclosed Afterdeck. If three-season entertaining is in the cards, then Sea Ray can also provide a cockpit enclosure thanks to the overhang of the flying bridge. A carpet liner will be a must-have addition if the teak decking isn't chosen. We would definitely add the optional cockpit grill and icemaker, or perhaps a refrigerator. Just like adding a hardtop with isinglass to the flying bridge adds low-cost living space, so, too, does enclosing the aft deck for people planning on spending lots of time on the boat.
The lower helm station is standard and includes both the SmartCraft VesselView and DTS engine controls. Steering is power-assisted with the wheel mounted to a tilt base. A single or double Raymarine e125 can be fitted along with autopilot and an aft facing bridge camera is interfaced with the e125.
The main salon offers opposing seating with beautiful views. The wood decking is optional but we sure wouldn't want our 510 to be without it.
Two More Gathering Areas
The stern swim platform and the bow sun pad are two areas that are sure to be popular onboard the 510. A hydraulic option is available for the swim platform, and long experience has now shown builders that this popular option serves owners well as a launching platform for tender storage as well as creating the now requisite teak beach.
Tender Handling. For owners who will be using the 510 Fly as a serious cruising boat, we would mark the hydraulic swim platform as a necessity as there is nowhere else to place the yacht's tender while underway.
The swim platform can be used in the traditional manner seen here, or lowered to launch a tender and at the same time form a private beach when dropped just below the surface.
At the bow, another welcome relaxation spot in the form of a double-wide sun pad. A split bow rail of offered for boarding from this area.
For the accommodations deck, Sea Ray went with a three-stateroom/two-head layout that includes a full beam master with the berth right on the centerline.
Below decks
For the Ship's Master(s). Sea Ray went with a three-stateroom/two-head layout that includes a full beam master with the queen berth mounted on the lateral and longitudinal centerlines. This is the most comfortable place on the boat in a seaway. To port is a long dresser and a somewhat modest hanging locker. (In fact, both of the other staterooms have greater hanging locker space.)
Tea for Two. A starboard dresser can be swapped out for opposing seating with a storage table next to the hull side window, as shown in the image above. This option creates a cozy little, romantic spot for the owners to unwind at night with a bottle of Dom Perignon. Conversely, it's a good spot to linger in the morning with a bracing cup of coffee and look out the large portlight.
Master Head. The master head is good-sized for a 51' (15.54 m) motoryacht. With three separate areas, two people can get ready for an evening ashore at the same time. The separate shower stall has a bench seat and there is good storage in the outboard cabinets.
Beautiful overhead treatments highlight the full beam master stateroom. Note the drop-down flooring at left that is between the stringers, producing more headroom.
The master head takes full advantage of the skillset of Sea Ray's joiner workers and provides a comfortable balance between finish and functionality. There's plenty of storage for full size shower accessories and the outlets for hair driers and electric toothbrushes weren't left out of the mix.
The VIP. Forward is the usual accommodation for a queen-sized island berth VIP stateroom. To the port side is a twin berth stateroom, which naturally converts to a single berth. Heads include VacuFlush toilets, power vents, Grohe fittings and vanities with solid surface counters.
The forward VIP takes good advantage of the storage space above the hull side windows as well as below the berth. We also like the storage shelves under the LED reading lights. The dark-toned valance is a graceful design element that enhances the overall looks of this cabin.
Not a bad place to be a guest, with twin berths that easily convert to a single. The mirrored bulkhead and lengthy hull side window add to the staterooms allure.
The guest head/day head is well appointed with a walk-in shower, wood cabinetry and solid surface counters. The shower presents an opening portlight for ventilation.
For appointments, the entire deck is carpeted with Stainmaster carpets. All curtains are custom made in-house. Wood cabinetry comes in walnut or rift-cut white oak and the window treatments feature silver alloy blinds.
Propulsion and Engines
Choice of Pods or V-Drives. The 510 Fly should be an easy boat to handle whether she's purchased with standard V-drives or pods. Obviously pods will bring joystick functionality to the table, and its associated ease of maneuverability, but the most important reasons to have pod drives is for improved handling in a following sea, and improved fuel-efficiency at cruising speeds.
Our comparison testing of pods vs. inboard drives has been limited to boats in the low-40' (12.2 m) range. There, we have found that pods are 30%+ more efficient than conventional inboard drives. It remains to be proved if pods are as efficient in larger boats such as this motoryacht, or if they will actually make the boat go faster, WOT. Since the 510 Fly is offered both ways it is an ideal candidate for this sort of empirical comparison testing.
V-drives are standard, and a joystick can be fitted that incorporates both the drives and a bow thruster for the best of both worlds at a fraction of the cost of a pod drive system. The V-drives draw 52" (132 cm), one inch less than with the Zeus pods, but the boat is slightly heavier at 47,100 lbs. (21,409 kgs.) vs. 46,800 lbs. (21,228 kgs) for the pods.
Standard power includes a pair of 600-hp Cummins QSC diesels with V-drives. Optional packages consists of twin 684-hp Cummins QSM 11's with V-drives or Zeus Cummins QSC 600, and this second option includes Skyhook position keeping.
The standard generator is a 13.5 kW Onan with sound shield, remote start, muffler, and its own closed cooling system, which is the preferred way to go. Optional generators are 11 kW and 17 kW, both from Onan. Some optional equipment requires more power, and in that case the larger generator is required. Sea Ray has selected Onan because it is a division of Cummins, therefore their engine techs can work on it.
The Sea Ray 510 Fly is a small motoryacht that can be taken on long cruising adventures to places such as the Bahamas and up the Inside Passage to Alaska.
When we compared the Sea Ray 510 Fly to 7 other flying bridge motoryachts ranging from 48' to 54' (14.6 m to 16.4 m) from five different brands we discovered a few interesting things --
1) While all five of these boats had roughly the same basic layout in most cases, they were quite different in their basic specifications.
2) The heavier the boats, the bigger the engines were. It seemed as if all builders felt that their boats had to exceed 30 knots WOT to be competitive.
3) All models but Sea Ray are built in Europe.
4) Selecting the best boat for any individual's needs will require close scrutiny of a number of details such as ergonomics, quality of materials and workmanship, fuel consumption at best cruise, and functionality for the intended application.
The 510 Fly's profile is long and low just as one might expect from a Euro-design sport yacht. Add a hardtop and isinglass to the flying bridge and this boat morphs into an all-weather cruising motoryacht.
The Sea Ray 510 Fly is the largest boat in the builder's "Sport Yacht" category of six boats. But in fact she is a transitional boat to a new series of motoryachts that Sea Ray is creating that will be far larger than 51' (15.54 m).
Motoryacht Class. She is about as small as a true motoryacht can be and still fill all of the required functions. The Sea Ray 510 Fly fulfills most of those functions. She was designed to be competitive with her European competition, where boats of this size and type are basically used as day boats to go from a marina to a beach and back, or take short trips from marina to marina at high speed.
Options for a Specific Purpose. With the addition of a few options, the 510 Fly can do much more than be a day boat for entertaining. For example, in the case of shipping a tender to make her a true cruising vessel, the optional hydraulic swim platform will have to be included. With the addition of a hardtop and isinglass on the flying bridge, she can have the helm visibility that only a flying bridge can provide in three seasons.

Judy Gibson celebrated her birthday early with a win in Novice amateur 3-year-old mares with I Gotta Lota Secrets; the pair also won the Novice amateur mares champion of champions award. (Journal photo)
Happy birthday, Judy Gibson, even if you did get your birthday present a day early.
Judy's birthday is October 5, but she celebrated her 70th birthday October 4 at the Nutrena East AQHA Novice Championship Show in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with a championship in 3-year-old Novice amateur mares.
"I've been showing halter horses for about a year," she says. "I've ridden all my life, but this is harder."
Judy, who lives in Crossville, Tennessee, showed I Gotta Lota Secrets by I Gotta Cool Secret-Imagine Me In Lace by Image Of Kid. The 2009 bay mare was bred and is owned by Karen Johnson of Burns, Tennessee, Judy's daughter. AQHA Professional Horseman Bob Johnson – Judy's son-in-law – is her trainer.
Lynn and Lori, Judy's other daughters, completed the family celebration at the Miller Tennessee Coliseum in Murfreesboro.
I Gotta Lota Secrets was the open reserve world champion yearling mare in 2010, and Bob plans to show her later this month at the All American Quarter Horse Congress.
"I want to go to the (Adequan) Select World (Championship Show) next year," Judy said. "And now I'm eligible for the Super-Select."
But first, Judy and I Gotta Lota Secrets won the mares champion of champions award at the Nutrena East.
She popped a black-wrapped hard candy out of her pants pocket. "Happy 70th," the paper said in blue and purple lettering.
Judy plans to have one. She already has her presents.

Knifeman terrified neighbours and threatened police court told (From The Northern Echo)

Darlington knifeman left neighbours terrified
6:40pm Wednesday 28th November 2012 in News By Neil Hunter
A KNIFEMAN left bystanders terrified when he jabbed his weapon into the ground and muttered: "I'm going to f***ing kill some people."
Simon Darlington was in the street outside his home when neighbours saw him with the blade and heard him make the threats, a court heard.
The 40-year-old then made two telephone calls to police, vowing to stab an officer involved in an earlier case.
Darlington was spared a prison sentence after a judge heard he could lose his home and would not receive the alcohol treatment he needs.
Recorder Alison Hunt imposed a nine-month suspended jail term with supervision after hearing he had not been in trouble until this year.
Darlington, of Tom Raine Court, Darlington, admitted affray, having a bladed article and two of sending abusive messages on August 18.
Teesside Crown Court heard how he was first seen pacing around outside, and after repeating his threat, thrust the knife towards neighbours.
Prosecutor Sue Jacobs said during one of his calls to police, he was heard by the bystanders saying: "I want to kill some f***er."
He demanded the officer come to the scene so he could "slice him up" and also said of an armed cop "I'll take him out as well."
Another neighbour turned up and Darlington sat beside him and for no apparent reason pressed the knife against his throat and laughed.
Carl Swift, mitigating, told Miss Recorder Hunt that his client recognised that he has a drink problem and wants help.
"It is only through the recovery programme – a rigorous intervention – that the public can be protected from Mr Darlington."
Darlington's prison term was suspended for a year and he was also given a six-month alcohol treatment requirement by the judge.

Now, Intel has taken that a step further with a new category of "hybrid," "convertible," or "two-in-one" devices, all describing the same product: a detachable tablet that can be docked to a keyboard for stability and extra battery life. Two-in-ones will use Intel's "Bay Trail" Atom chip, which offers both dramatically improved battery life as well as increased performance, eliminating the sluggishness that characterized the previous "Clover Trail" notebooks. In the tablet configuration, these new designs offer the thinness that we've come to associate with tablets, as opposed to the relative chunkiness of Microsoft's Surface.
The bottom line: So far, this looks like the next step in the evolution of the mainstream Windows notebook.
3. But Atom isn't low-power enough
And the Core begat Atom, which begat Quark...simply put, Intel realized that even optimized for low power, the Core could only go so far to address the emerging market for all-day computing. Thus, Intel designed the Atom -- which arguably went a bit too far in establishing a low-power foothold, with not enough performance.
Now Intel has reached the same crossroads: the Atom is simply too big and bulky for the Internet of Things, and a new architecture was needed: Quark. Chatter among the press and analyst corps says the Quark architecture is some sort of cut-down Silvermont chip, the technology underlying Bay Trail, the Merrifield chip for phones, and the Rangeley networking processor.
Quark is one-fifth the size of the Atom and will operate at one-tenth the power. Those numbers are vague enough that we can't intuit much. But the power goals and the fact they're synthesizable says that they're an attack on ARM, whose embedded chips seem to have an inside track on the Internet of Things. Intel's facing an uphill battle, of the likes it fought with AMD: using the brute force of its advanced manufacturing capabilities as a broadaxe to wield against the nimble rapiers of the ARM licensee legions.
4. Natural-user interfaces are a blessing in disguise
Turns out that the real world is a complicated place, filled with unknown objects and unfamiliar people, all interacting in complex and seemingly unpredictable ways. That poses an enormous and lucrative problem for any number of companies, from interpreting speech and gestures, to finding directions, to altering recommendations based on the proximity of friends. As the hardware interface between the virtual and real world, Intel is well positioned to suck in petabytes of data that can be analyzed by third-party software and services -- all running on Intel hardware, of course. And what it can't do with its own CPUs and graphics chips can be done with new lines of optimized silicon that Intel is specifically creating.

Foley: Close Elections are Healthy - If We Trust the Refs
Read Ned Foley's new comment, "Close Elections are Healthy – If We Trust the Refs," here.
Edward B. Foley
It is a fortuitous coincidence that the University of Virginia's Journal of Law & Politics has just published a piece of mine that shows the relevance of the current vote-counting process in Virginia's Attorney General election to what might happen if the 2016 presidential election turns on a similar vote-counting process in Virginia.
Professor Daniel Tokaji was quoted in an article from the Associated Press about an attorney general opinion that allows the Ohio treasurer to conduct telephone town halls using public money. The opinion will likely have broad ramifications for the upcoming elections, Tokaji said.
"As a practical matter, while that legal advice is certainly right, very serious concerns can arise about whether these are really intended to inform Ohio constituents about the operations of his office or if they're campaign events," he said.
U.S. District Judge Thomas D. Schroeder denied the motion for a preliminary injunction sought by the plaintiffs in a case challenging a new North Carolina voting law as violating the Voting Rights Act and the federal Constitution. Judge Schroeder also denied the defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings. The case is North Carolina NAACP v. McCrory.

IQ, size and weight, fantastic EVF, superb Zeiss lenses, weather sealed
a few omissions in operation options
I've had my a7 for about 2 months now, and took it on a full day wedding shoot over the weekend as a second camera, with the FE 35mm f2.8, plus a Zeiss ZE 50mm 1.4 with the Metabones adapter (5DmkII as main camera). Having used the a7 for some time beforehand, I felt comfortable enough with it to rely on everything but the AF, which I was worried would be too slow at critical moments. I also had concerns about the battery life, since my second battery was still on back-order.
The experience Ive already had with the camera has been fantastic. Such a portable package with so much to offer. Image quality is simply outstanding, and the viewfinder so closely matches the feel of an optical finder, while adding the advantages that come with an EVF (focus peaking, live visual exposure check, live colour rendering or black and white visualisation, live histogram in view, live highlight clipping, etc.) that I would choose this over an OVF in most situations from here on out. Usability in terms of the user interface is a little lacking, with a clunky menu system (maybe Im just not used to it yet), and a few options notably omitted, specifically:
- the ability to set a custom button for easy switching between viewfinder and monitor
- a setting to have the viewfinder/monitor act in a DSLR style (shooting through viewfinder, playback and menu on monitor)
-a way to turn the sensor off, for times when shooting with an add-on optical finder, or for taking a series of photos on a tripod, or for any number of other situations where one would not want the sensor powered incessantly
On the AF (with the 35mm FE), I was wrong. Even in a dimly lit chapel, I found my keeper rate was very high, and the camera never struggled to find focus quickly and accurately (in fact I was never bothered by any difference in AF between the a7 and the 5DmkII I was using alongside it). I will say that I don't yet find the face-detect and eye AF (both of which are fantastic) predictable enough to rely on, but I think that will just be a matter of getting better acquainted with those systems. I do feel confident with "center" point focus, and it proved plenty fast, and very accurate. For this, Im glad I opted for the a7 over the a7R (lacking on-sensor phase detect AF).
On using manual focus lenses, the a7 has been an absolute breath of fresh air. My ZE Planar 50mm is a lens I absolutely love, but do find hard to focus accurately when shooting close to wide open. Ive often switched to using live-view on my 5DmkII with the Magic Lantern software hack so that I could use focus-peaking, which REALLY helps get the focus right. With the a7 Im getting focus peaking in the viewfinder, with native software, plus Ive set a custom button to quickly zoom in right in the viewfinder for critical focus. My beloved ZE 50mm lens has been given a new lease on life!
On battery life, I was unfortunately right to be concerned; the a7 crapped out right at the beginning of the reception, having taken around 250 photos. I was ready for it, so it was no big deal, and had I had a second battery ready, it would have only been a minor inconvenience. Having said that, this (battery life) is a stark contrast from a DSLR. My Canons have always had amazing stamina, and Ive NEVER had a single concern about battery life, even on a full day shoot with just one battery. Moving to mirrorless, the battery is suddenly powering the sensor and viewfinder constantly, and when that sensor is full-frame, that viewfinder is as brilliant as the one in the a7, and that battery has been designed with capacity taking a back seat to portability, its no wonder were living with shorter battery life. To me, this will turn into a minor gripe once I have backups, and for long days I would consider the vertical grip in which 2 batteries can power the camera for (presumably) much better life.
On build quality, I see nothing wrong with the a7 at all, and I love that it's weather sealed. I feel the body is very well made, with materials, engineering/design, and workmanship/QC all of very good standards. I don't, however, feel as confident having it bumped around and generally "man-handled" as I am with my 5DmkII. This could absolutely be nothing more than a perception of mine, and I don't doubt that the a7 can handle its fair share of abuse, but my feeling is that semi-pro and pro series DSLRs are built a little closer to "tank-like" than these Sonys. That may or may not cause any problems at all, and it may or may not be enough to make a difference to you, but that's how I feel here.
All in all, I agree with those who say that mirrorless cameras will populate the future of photography, and for very good reason. I personally value a full-frame sensor very highly, so the a7 is the obvious choice for me. That this camera happens to have arrived from Sony has meant that it gets one of their fantastic sensors, and is being matched with lenses from my favourite lens-maker, Zeiss. All this, and the camera has come pretty damn close to hitting the nail on the head with everything Ive been hoping for from a digital camera for a very long time. So close in fact that I have <i>almost</i> no complaints about it at all. The a7 gets a 10/10 from me, without a moments hesitation.
As a quick note, the two reasons I opted to go with the a7 over the R version were Auto-Focus (better on the a7, with on-sensor phase detect), and electronic first-curtain shutter (for the sake of both sound and vibration, the a7R falters badly here IMHO, with a close>open>expose>close>open shutter sequence, which is both annoying and silly). I would love the sensor on the R, but I am not prepared to make those sacrifices in order to get it, especially not when the a7 sensor is already so damn good! I'm thrilled with the choice I made here.

A homeless man is accused of viewing child pornography on a Nashville Public Library computer.
Jeffrey Rahn, 51, was arrested Thursday after library staff at the Church Street location noticed the images on Rahn's terminal and called police.
His arrest exposes the library system's ongoing struggle between Internet access and Internet safety.
"We're all about access and improving people's lives," said Library Director Kent Oliver.
Oliver told Nashville's News 2 there are filters on all library computers to restrict certain information, especially for children. However, adults can bypass the filter with a simple request to library staff.
"As long as what they're looking at is valid and considered legal under Metro law and Tennessee law, we're going to allow them to look at it," he said.
The downtown library is a public facility with nearly a thousand computers. Privacy and access are important, and limiting those things could infringe on First Amendment rights, which guarantees access to information.
"When a public library decides its going to provide Internet access, it pretty much has to open the doors to any legal communications," said Ken Paulson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vanderbilt University's First Amendment Center.
"Legal communications" can apply to material that many find questionable, including pornography.
"A lot of adult material, the playboys, the penthouses, the porn that people access in this country to a great degree on the Internet," Paulson said, "bottom line is that it is legally protected under the First Amendment, like it or not. And public libraries have an obligation to let patrons access it."
Paulson made special note of the difference between pornography and obscenity. Obscene materials, like child pornography, are illegal and not protected by the First Amendment.
Filters, like those at the public library, help keep most obscene materials hidden from public access, but they are not fool-proof.
"The type of material this person was looking at, they could've brought it in on a thumb drive. They could've been looking at their email and had a clip on it. That isn't something that anything is going to catch," Oliver said.
According to police, Rahn admitted to viewing child pornography videos on a library computer. Approximately ten additional illegal images were found on his cell phone.
Rahn is charged with sexual exploitation of a minor.

Bill Capo / Eyewitness News
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @billcapo
FRANKLINTON, La. -- David Davidson got the best Christmas gift this year -- extra time for the Vietnam War Army medic to spend with his daughter and three grandchildren.
It's extra time alive after doctors discovered a huge tumor in his abdomen that was attacking the bones of his pelvis, a killer cancer.
"I always wanted to retire, but not like this," said Franklinton resident David Davidson. "But if I hadn't have had the surgery, then I probably wouldn't be here much longer."
These X-Rays show the rare surgery in September where a team of doctors removed half of his pelvis. It also meant amputating Davidson's left leg.
"The team of surgeons, we were in there just over eighteen hours. We started on a Thursday morning, and finished on a Friday morning," said LSUHSC Oncologist Dr. Scott Delacroix
Davidson learned to use a wheelchair or a walker to get around, and now his visits to the doctor are happy ones. The cancer is gone.
"He's just exhibited a spirit that is unlike no other," Delacroix said.
Tracy Cooper, Davidson's daughter, said, "Just astonished that he's still here, and we've had two sets of scans now that show no sign of cancer whatsoever."
Cooper gave her dad her bedroom and sleeps on the couch. But there is one problem. His wheelchair won't fit through the doors of the two bathrooms in the house.
"He can't get into the bathroom. He has not had a shower since Sept. 19," she said.
Even using his walker Davidson can barely squeeze into the small space.
"It's really tough," he said.
And one of the problems is if he gets in here, and he even manages to shut the door, should he fall, well then they can't get in to rescue him, and that's why his doctor called me for help.
"He really has no privacy, and he cannot shower," Delacroix said. "He has to go outside, and use a hose outside if he wants to clean himself, or give himself a sponge bath."
Delacroix said they don't have the money to re-do the bathroom.
"They have absolutely no money to re-do the bathroom, make the doors more handicapped accessible, and that's why I called you," the doctor said.
Davidson said he's sick of sponge baths.
"Nothing makes you feel better than having a good shower, I think," he said. "It's been a while."
Davidson's family and doctor are asking for help from Good Samaritans to make the bathroom and home a better fit for everyone.
The David Davidson Benefit Account has been set up, and donations can be made through any Capital One branch.


text: I planted some Sorrel in my organic vegetable garden and also in a terra cotta pot oustide my kitchen. I don't remember having ever eaten Sorrel but it looked nice and I liked the sound of it. It turns out, it's quite the hardy little herb, that keeps on giving. I kept on giving it away, bunches of it, every time it looked like it could do with a good picking. Until, today. I felt the time had come for me to eat it. I looked it up in the "Complete Book of Herbs & Spices", and found that if I just pulped it in a small cuisinart, it was the perfect addition to an omelette, one of my most favorite things to eat. I picked a handful of leaves, pulped them with 2 tbsp of extra virgin organic olive oil and add 4 tbsp at least of it to my simmering omelet. It was a revelation! Completely shockingly delicious. I'm not giving it away anymore. Go plant your own!

The sequestration could also have a major impact on the world's busiest airport
Airport officials already recommend getting to the airport early, but spending cuts could force travelers to get to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport even earlier.
General manager Louis Miller says cutbacks would mean 20 to 30 percent longer wait times thanks to the closure of one runway at peak hours. He warns if that happens, passengers better be ready to pack their patience.
"I think we can probably work around it and make it work but it would cause delays, no doubt about it," Miller said.
The longer wait times would include international travelers who would have to clear customs as well.
Hartsfield-Jackson is not the only airport facing drastic measures due to sequestration. At Kennesaw's McCollum Field, there is talk of closing the traffic tower if a deal is not reached by Friday.

CATEGORIES RumorMonger, Newsstand, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, CinematicalShawn Ashmore gave an exclusive interview to ShockTillYouDrop.com, who inevitably asked him if he would ever reprise his role of Iceman in a fourth X-Men installment.
If there is to be a fourth, Ashmore hasn't heard anything about it. "Honestly, I don't know. I would love to do another film, but I think they're doing these spin-offs and origin stories, so I can't see in the near future there being an X-Men 4, but I have no idea to tell you the truth, it's really hard to say. I'm holding my breath, waiting for it to happen, but I'm not sure if it will or not."
The third installment gave him the chance to finally engage in a mutant battle, and he's dying to do more after so much build up. "I was waiting to do some of that stuff since the first movie. It was five years, six years in the making to really shoot ice and be in a battle and all that stuff."
It is always really gratifying to hear from an actor who shares the fans enthusiasm for a character and a film series -- you always feel a bit bad for them hearing the same old "Are you ever going to reprise that role?" Apparently, the question still gives Ashmore a good feeling. "It's a blast. I love the fact that there is such a huge audience for The X-Men, characters I love and characters I've lived with so long that it's really exciting when people are like, "Aw, man, I want to see another one." That's great, and that gives me a boost to hear that stuff, so that's really cool."
I'm not sure how I feel about a fourth film, when the third installment let everyone down so badly. But maybe Iceman will return via a Wolverine installment -- you know they won't stop at just one.

A Forgotten Fighter and Fight: Max Baer vs. Frankie Campbell

This is an excellent summation of one of the forgotten fights of the 30's. The tragic Baer-Campbell fight and it's aftermath:
The Footnote:
The short life of Frankie Campbell has become almost a footnote attached to the early boxing career of Max Baer. The two mens' names are forever linked together like ghost lovers in an ethereal endless waltz. Almost 80 years ago, in what was quite possibly one of the most savage battles never broadcast, the titanium fists of a Max Baer we have never witnessed on film, a brute who once pleasurably fought with the barely concealed savagery of a wild animal, took the life of Frankie Campbell. The massacre occurred on the 25th day of a warm August evening in 1930. The setting was a squared circle situated over home plate at Recreation Park in San Francisco, California. The bout was supposed to be an elimination tournament for the unofficial title of Pacific Coast Champion. It was to be a test of whether 26 year old Frankie Campbell had the ability that would allow him an eventual shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Instead, it ended almost to the day, the six short years of Frankie's meteoric rise in professional boxing.
To date, little has been written about Frankie Campbell. Most boxing fans are familiar with the fight in which his life was ended, but know nothing about the first path, and then the second one, that brought him to that fateful Summer night in the first place. Let it be remembered however, that once upon a time, this forgotten man possessed perhaps the potential to don the crown and secure the belt of the Heavyweight Champion of the World onto his fine physique. Instead, this bright young fighter, who had the brass ring within his grasp, entered the grave entirely too soon.

FATALE tells the story of Nicolas Lash, a modern-day reporter who stumbles on a secret that leads him down the darkest path imaginable… to a seductive woman named Jo. She's been on the run since 1935, entangled with a mobster who may be a monstrous immortal demon. As the stories of all the doomed men who have encountered Jo rise to the surface, Lash realizes that he too is caught in a deadly web. In addition to a riveting epic that blends noir and horror, each issue of FATALE also includes an essay on the history of horror of by renowned literary historian Jess Nevins.
Reviews for FATALE #1 have hailed it as another superlative work by the creative team of Brubaker and Phillips.
"FATALE is just as good as you were hoping it might be..." writes Weekly Comic Book Review. "Brubaker and Phillips can do no wrong."
"FATALE is dark, sexy, discomforting, and above all, one hell of a read," proclaims Multiversity. "Brubaker and Phillips have proven themselves to be two of the strongest collaborators in the industry time and time again."
And Trouble with Comics writes, "FATALE #1 is exactly the sort of comic readers need; an engrossing story, superbly illustrated, sharply written and with enough substance and ancillary material to justify the cover price."

Rhode Island's state pension system "underperformed the median three out of the four years that Mr. [Frank] Caprio was in office."
Cranston's 2014-2015 "budget funds 100 percent of the local police and fire pension and other retiree benefit costs."
"I am the only senator who turned down the state pension plan for part-time legislators."
A poll taken "a few months ago" found "70 percent approval or higher" for the Act 10 collective bargaining law.
"We see a quarter-billion dollars in a pension fund that needs to be funded at $1.2 billion."
Members of the military don't "contribute toward their pension."
"Providence has more of its pension fund invested in hedge funds and is less transparent" about it than the state.
As CFO, Alex Sink oversaw "a $27 billion loss in the state's pension fund."
Some "20,000 Delphi salaried retirees lost up to 70 percent of their pensions" as a result of "political favoritism and backroom deals."
Says less than half of 1 percent of all the Texas legislators who ever served draw "a benefit" from pensions tied to the salaries of state district judges.

Since Gina Raimondo took office, investment fees on the state's pension portfolio "have gone up from about $12 million annually to about $50 million."
Says "PPS employees have paid their own PERS contributions for many years."
Says, "The Democrats' proposed budget is also balanced by using more in new tax revenue than in total PERS reform or savings."
The Legislature needs to spend $500 million to "shore up" the pension fund this year and the next 28 years to keep it "afloat."
Knopp says he upheld a campaign promise not to join the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS).
"Our pension system is the only one in the country that's 100 percent funded."
Says budget savings by reducing pay and benefits for federal employees total $103 billion over 10 years -- more than $50,000 per worker.
"There's 21 congressmen and senators that have been convicted of felonies that still get their retirement, even in jail. They don't have to wait until they're 65."

DALLAS — "Wow! So many lights!" exclaimed Santa Claus as he gazed out over Main Street Garden on Saturday night at the debut of City Lights 2012 in downtown Dallas.
"We're watching something so industrial come to life," said David Derr of Planet Productions.
This was the last project Shawn "Magic" Mohr's hands would be a part of.
"His magic will be felt in Dallas forever," was heard throughout the garden as the night's festivities were dedicated to Mohr by Downtown Dallas Inc. and the Planet Productions team he worked for.
On Friday November 2, Mohr and the production team installed decorative globes along Main Street. Mohr was on his motorcycle coming back to Main Street the morning of November 3 to review the work when he was involved in a hit-and-run accident.
Mohr was killed. He was 40 years old.
It happened at the Interstate 30 off-ramp to 1st Avenue. The driver of the other vehicle still hasn't been caught, and police have no new leads.
"It was really quite tough to continue with the installation, but we knew that's how Magic would want it," said Brian Brothers, Mohr's boss at Planet Productions.
Saturday night's tribute also brought out Mohr's Survivors motorcycle group and people from Mary's House, a group home for adults with disabilities.
"He was really our guardian angel," said Mary's House assistant director Richard Mills. "Magic helped us get the Amber Alert changed to include adults with special needs. We had a girl go missing from Mary's House. We organized a search with Magic and the Survivors group and we found her within 30 minutes."
The night's magic gave those Mohr touched a sense of peace.
"Allowing us to have a little closure on a situation that's still very unknown to us," Derr said.

UPDATED THURSDAY, OCT. 10, 11 a.m.
PLANO, Texas (BP) -- Nike Ladapo shares a birthday week with Billy Graham, and the soon-to-be 50-year-old Texas woman is following his lead on the most fulfilling way to celebrate a milestone birthday.
For his 95th birthday on Nov. 7, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is kicking off a weeklong endeavor to reach the country with the Gospel. From Nov. 3-12, more than 24,000 churches are participating in "My Hope America with Billy Graham," reaching out with the love and Good News of Christ in homes and other venues across the country.
Nike, a member of the Dallas-area Prestonwood Baptist Church, signed up after a Sunday service (Oct. 6) to host a "My Hope Party" at her home. She said she cannot imagine a better way to celebrate her birthday than by inviting family, friends and neighbors to her home and then sharing what Christ has done in her life and how He can transform their lives.
"Matthew 28:19 tells us that we are to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth and help fulfill the Great Commission that the Lord has given us," she said. "My Hope America is a great opportunity to do that."
Nike was among the thousands attending services at three Prestonwood campuses who viewed a 29-minute video to be shown in the homes of those across the country hosting a "My Hope Party." Produced by the Graham evangelistic association, the video weaves footage of classic Billy Graham crusades with the testimonies of three people who found God while broken and in the depths of misery.
"Billy told several of us months ago that he believed God had given him one last message to preach to the country, and 'My Hope America' was born out of that conversation," said Jack Graham, pastor of the 33,000-member Prestonwood Baptist Church. "We are praying that millions will hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ across America and that hundreds of thousands are going to be born again into the family of God."
Currently, the pastor said, Prestonwood has nearly 700 homes registered to host a party, with a goal of at least 1,000 homes.
"Our people have seen the vision of what God can do if we, like the New Testament church, publicly, and then from house to house, share the hope that is ours in Jesus Christ," Jack Graham said.
Last weekend, Prestonwood posted large maps in the atriums of all three campuses showing where members were already registered to host a party.
Chance and Blanca Oliver were among those who surveyed the map at Prestonwood's Plano Campus and registered to host a party.
"We have to start evangelizing at the community level, then the city, and from there it just grows," Blanca Oliver said. "When we make it personal, through the sharing of our stories, it reaches more people. People want to connect."
Renee Fuller, who also is planning to host a party, said she has no doubt the film will help lead many who do not yet know Jesus Christ to Him as their Lord and Savior.
"It's such a powerful video that I believe people who normally wouldn't listen or attend a service will be moved by it," Fuller said.
Indeed, it is a stirring video not only because of the poignant testimonies but also because of the vignettes of Billy Graham -- the man who preached to hundreds of millions of people for six decades -- sharing the Gospel in his winsome Southern resonance.
"Millions are crying, 'What can I do to be saved from the pressures of life; the pressures are just so great," the evangelist who has preached the Gospel face-to-face to more people than anyone in history, says in the video. "We want to scream at life; we want to escape from life. Adlai Stevenson once said, 'It's not the days of your life, but the life in your days that counts.'
"You have so much time, but for what? The things that are broken in your heart and life can be restored in Christ if you put your faith and your confidence in Him. He died on the cross; He rose from the dead for you. He wants to give you guidance in your life; He wants to give you a peace and joy and assurance that if you die, you'll go to heaven. But first, there must be a change. You must turn around; that's called repentance in the Bible.
"Repent," he says, his voice fading in the video, "repent, repent."

If you've followed the life cycle of Microsoft's Xbox 360 video-game console, you would know that it has evolved from a machine whose primary purpose was video games into an entertainment center that also plays video games. App after app has been developed for the 360, connecting you to your computer, your music collection, your movies, and more, making them available on what is likely a larger television than your monitor. Baseball fans who own Microsoft's console can now rejoice, as it's MLB.tv's turn for an app.
For the past two years, it's been Sony's Playstation 3 that's featured an MLB.tv app that allowed you to watch full-HD games on your television instead of your computer. The interface was a bit clunky, and it was prone to being slow and non-intuitive at times, but it was MLB.tv on your television. Microsoft has had that time to see what fans liked and didn't like about the competition's offering, and has tailored their own product towards the needs of those users. The result? The same HD-quality baseball on your television, but better.
The same team that developed the ESPN app for the 360 built the one for MLB.tv, and they've incorporated some of the the former's ideas into this new product. Without interrupting the action while watching a game, you can pull up the "Mini-Guide" (first developed for the ESPN app) with a press of the Y button. It will bring up the option to switch to one of the other live games, switch to the full guide, or, if you're watching an archived game, show you the last week of archived contests. All of these options are selected with single button presses after bringing up the Mini-Guide, too, so it's fast, easy, and intuitive.
You can also select the 360-exclusive "Split Screen" option here. This allows you to watch two games simultaneously -- maybe you want to watch what the Red Sox are doing, while also keeping an eye on the Yankees game. You can select the primary game to watch with one press of the left analog stick, and sound will only come through for that contest. If you want to pause one game and wait to watch it until there's a commercial in the other, you can.
These options are all accessed simply enough with button presses, but if you've got Kinect, you can control MLB.tv with voice or gesture commands. Pause, play, rewind, or switch games without the use of a remote or controller. It all controls easily enough without that added level of options, so fear not if you lack Kinect. (Full disclosure: the MLB.tv app was not tested with Kinect by this reviewer.)
Most of the MLB.tv apps -- even MLB's own -- have only allowed you to select one favorite team. The changes to the app were mostly cosmetic, too, as it would put your team of choice at the top of listings for easy access. On the 360, though, you can select multiple favorite teams, queueing up more for you to see when you log in or want to navigate between games. This is great for people like me, who have more than one team they follow on a daily basis, works well for households where their love for baseball is divided among multiple clubs, and also useful if you just want to neurotically track the progress of your team's rivals.
You need both an MLB.tv premium subscription ($124.99 for a year) and also an Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to access the full features of MLB.tv on the Xbox 360. But if you've just got the Xbox Live sub, you can still get plenty of use from this application. There will be a "Game Of The Day" you can watch regardless of whether you have an MLB.tv subscription or not, and there will also be condensed, three-to-five minute versions of games so that you can check out the highlights for your favorite team, rather than watching 45 minutes of Sportscenter only to see your Pirates get 15 seconds of coverage on a good day.
Microsoft plans to continue iterating the app, so don't expect it to look exactly the same in September as it did when it was unveiled March 27. The ESPN application looks different nearly every time I've logged in to it, as the team adds features that enhance the product as well as address the needs of users. For one, they're hoping to make the MLB.tv app more interactive and personal, allowing you to track not only teams, but players as well, whether for fantasy purposes or because you just like watching Giancarlo Stanton go deep.
In a time when I can't count the number of devices that make MLB.tv viewing available to me on one hand, Microsoft's foray into an app has quickly become my preference. If you've got the necessary components, or don't mind shelling out for them, you'll find yourself feeling the same way once you try it.

Jays shut Accardo down for the season
Righty reliever pitched only 16 games for Toronto in 2008
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Blue Jays have decided to shut down reliever Jeremy Accardo, opting to have the injured pitcher get an early start to his offseason in an effort to make a healthy return for next year.
"He's not going to come back with us this year," Toronto manager Cito Gaston said on Tuesday at Tropicana Field.
The 26-year-old Accardo was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm on May 10 and has been recalled from his Minor League rehab assignment. Gaston noted that Accardo is scheduled to have his forearm examined by renowned arm specialist Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.
In 16 games for the Blue Jays this season, Accardo went 0-3 with a 6.57 ERA, five strikeouts and four walks over 12 1/3 innings. Accardo made 13 rehab appearances between stints with the Gulf Coast League Blue Jays, Class A Dunedin and Triple-A Syracuse, posting a 3.55 ERA with seven strikeouts and four walks in 12 2/3 innings.
Last season, Accardo -- acquired in a trade with San Francisco in July 2006 -- filled in for injured closer B.J. Ryan and saved 30 games for Toronto. As Toronto's temporarily stopper a year ago, Accardo posted a 2.14 ERA with 57 strikeouts and 24 walks over 67 1/3 innings, during which he limited hitters to a .206 average.

Thanksgiving holiday travel is expected to increase by only 0.7 compared to last year, according to the AAA's Leisure Travel Index released Tuesday.
Nationwide, 43.6 million Americans are expected to travel over the holiday.
But consumers could get a break on the cost of their trip - both gas prices and airfare are expected to decrease for Thanksgiving travel.
More people or nearly 90 percent of travelers or 39.1 million are expected to drive than fly.
About 3.1 million travelers are expected to fly this Thanksgiving holiday, which is down 1.7 percent from last year. That would make the second straight year of a decline in air travel over the holiday period, according to the report.
Thanksgiving airfares are expected to drop - the lowest round-trip rate hit $188 for the top 40 U.S. air routes, which is an 11 percent decrease from last year, according to the report.
