I had it on draft a week ago at the brewery and picked up a bottle to bring back to Boston. 22 oz bottle was poured into a large tulip glass.
Appearance: This beer poured a crazy two finger billowy head that reduced to a thin layer. Nice lacing on the glass as the beer was drank. It is a slightly hazy pale yellow/orange color with good clarity and vision of bubbles coming up through the glass.
Smell: Wheaty, bready, sweet, bananas, cloves, and citrus hops.
Taste: Pretty tasty brew. Bready malts, yeasty flavors, and citrus hops all blend well together.
Mouthfeel: Chewy, full bodied, smooth, slightly tingly hops, a little booze, refreshing, and low to medium carbonation.
Overall: Second Double Witbier I have had in the past couple of weeks. Loving this beer a lot and the style. Hopefully they have more of this small batch series beer next time driving through Portsmouth.

Essay: Jim Williamson
Dallas Is a Story I Tell
The author, ca. early 1960s, in the backyard of the Williamson home. [Photo courtesy of Jim Williamson]
I grew up in a suburb north of Dallas named Richardson. And as places like Richardson are, or were, back in the middle of the last century, it was all tract homes and ordered banality. When we moved into our new house with its adobe brick veneer, there was nothing in the expanse of abandoned cotton fields to the north of our backyard but the deeply cracked soil called Black Gumbo, Johnson grass as tall as your waist and scrawny wild sunflowers. Today those tract houses stretch out for twenty miles beyond.
The development where we lived was nicknamed the "Indian Reservation" because the streets were named after Native American tribes. My family lived on Cheyenne Drive, which was north of Cherokee and south of Chippewa. I went to Arapaho Elementary School. Everyone was white; this was, after all, suburban Texas in the early 1960s. The "head" of every other household was an engineer for Texas Instruments; no one's mother worked.
To say there was no mystery in Richardson is to say the obvious — there wasn't supposed to be any mystery. And what struck me then, even as young boy, was that nobody really seemed happy, and that you weren't
to be. Happiness was something people viewed with suspicion.
One day in November, while I was sitting in my classroom at Arapaho, a young girl whom I will call Cindy Harty arrived halfway through the afternoon. [1] She was hysterical and sobbing. Her parents had taken her to downtown Dallas to see the Presidential motorcade, and they had witnessed the assassination of the President of the United States. It was
November day. They had seen the brains and the skull of John F. Kennedy blasted open by a bullet fired by Lee Harvey Oswald from a window on the sixth floor of the
Texas School Book Depository
— the same building where our textbooks were stored — the same textbooks we stuffed into our desks or lugged home at the end of the day.
It never made any sense that Cindy's parents had brought her back to school. But a lot of things that happened on that day and on the days that followed have never made much sense; looking back I remember a time of remorseless incongruity. There had been, for instance,
vociferous dislike
in Dallas for the
Kennedy, whom you'd often hear denounced from Baptist pulpits; but after the murder in Dealey Plaza all such partisan passions seemed to dissolve into collective ecumenical grief. My father, a Catholic convert whose hatred for Kennedy had often bordered on the irrational, broke down in a hotel lobby when he heard the news of the assassination from the desk clerk. The clerk, equally distraught, refused to let him pay his bill.

Likewise our teacher, Mrs. White, a mean woman who would require us to copy the indexes of our textbooks by hand if we dared to talk in class, was moved to uncharacteristic concern for her eight-year-old charges. Soon we would be dismissed early to go to our homes, where our shaken families sat bewildered in front of the TV set. My family watched a young Dan Rather, born in a small town in southeast Texas and in those days the local CBS bureau chief. Even now, when I hear Dan Rather's baritone, I think about the assassination; his voice triggers what I experience as a constellation of event, memory and place that feels both real and imaginary — much like a celestial constellation that gathers disparate elements into a figure that is not really a figure at all but rather an intersection of circumstance and imagination.
Early on I began to understand the power of such triggers. Every Sunday morning on our drive to church, we passed the vacant house of Marina Oswald. Lee Harvey Oswald's Russian-born widow had moved there after the assassination, assisted by local charities. She was then under the protection of the Secret Service, in preparation for her testimony before the Warren Commission, and her small house appeared as sad and bereft as its absent tenant. "That's where she lives," someone in the car would say, "but it doesn't look like anyone lives there." In my mind's eye the montage of her house and her face have became another of the spectral placeholders for my recollections and imaginings of the place and time I call Dallas.
In Western culture you find reference to similar recollections — to what I have called a constellation of memory, place and imagination — in the writings of the Roman orators Cicero and Quintilian and, even further back, in the lyric poetry of the Greek Simonides. The British historian Francis Yates, in her seminal
The Art of Memory
, traces the contributions of each of these authors as part of her larger argument that memory, and the use of mnemonic systems, were indispensable to the development of classical culture.
Yates pays special attention to what we have come to call the
mental walk
. As Yates describes it, an orator would use the process of a mental walk — which is really a story, a narrative — to help organize and then remember a speech that he was soon to deliver. The orator would imagine a journey through a place — a house, for example — and locate the ideas or events to be described and then recalled on a series of "places" along the route. Usually he would choose particular places with striking details — such as a crack in the stone frame of a doorway — for their capacity to stand out in the mind, their capacity to prompt his recollection and thus to allow him to recite a speech from memory — place by place, or image by image. Ancient orators mastered this process with uncanny precision, and even today it continues to influence our speech patterns; for instance, when we use rhetorical phrases like "in the first place" and "in the second place."
In this mnemonic system, the house is known as a
memory palace
; ultimately of course both the place and the journey are grounded more in our imagination rather than in any physical reality. To the extent that we carry these places, these journeys, with us throughout our lives — to the extent that they become part of us — we substantiate the classical idea that memory is not simply a utilitarian mental process but also a vital contributor to the construction of what we would now call the self. And although the concepts mental walk and memory palace might suggest place-narratives that are coherent, linear and rational, in my experience they prompt something messier and more complex.

It is now the early 1970s, almost a decade after the assassination, and my memories of Cindy Harty take an odd and unexpected turn. Cindy and I are now in high school, and she is a member of the Eaglettes — Richardson High's version of the Kilgore Rangerettes (which were world famous throughout Texas). The Eaglettes wore sequined top hats, white satin miniskirts and white leather cowboy boots with tassels. In Texas, football is king and the whole school would turn out to watch them high-kick at pep rallies and Friday night games. Those high kicks were … let us say
… about as close as you could come to anything like sexuality in a public high school in Texas back then.
On one of those Friday nights, I was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car driven by my friend Rob O'Dell. Cindy — whom I remember as not just friendly and pretty but also as what we would have called
, the kind of popular girl shy teenagers like myself would admire from afar — was sitting in the back seat with her druggy boyfriend Mike LeBlanc. We were driving to a party in another Dallas suburb. We were passing house after house, all as unremarkable as our own houses, all with the same brown lawns and stunted trees. I have no exact memory of anything we said in the car that night until the moment when Rob blurted out "That sucks!" I can't even remember why: perhaps another driver cut in front of the car. And I remember also the next moment when Mike said quietly to Cindy — he might not have thought that Rob and I could hear — "I'd like to suck Harty." And then Cindy said, quietly, in a matter-of-fact way, "I hear they taste like soda pop."
She was, of course, referring to her breasts.

Even today, 50 years after the assassination, when I think about
I think about those events and the images they conjure: monotonous spec houses, endless textbooks indexes, Dan Rather's voice and Marina Oswald's forlorn face and empty house. But the images that stand out are these: the dead president and the alluring figure of a young woman. Such different images, and yet I simply cannot unbraid them; and when they come to mind it is with a peculiar mix of deep sadness and perplexed bemusement — one image evoking shared national tragedy, the other furtive teenage reverie. To be honest, I do not think I ever want them to be untangled: I am drawn to how they make Dallas — and my adolescence — seem enticing and mysterious. For despite the lore, despite its unwelcome significance in 20th-century American history, the city is neither; if you didn't know the history, the city would seem like a thousand other places. And by now— when
you can watch on YouTube
8-millimeter film of the assassination shot by Abraham Zapruder
— most of what is "Dallas" about Dallas has become a kind of caricature.
Places and our memories of places are part real and part imaginary, part shared and part personal; they are demarcated not only by actual experiences but also by the imaginative geographies they engender. Years ago when I was in college my sister lived in an apartment building on Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro. If you went to the beach in your bathing suit, you had to use the service elevator rather than the public elevator and you would descend through a pungent cloud of coffee grounds mingling with the kitchen refuse of the other tenants. Years later, even a whiff of coffee grounds and food scraps is enough to make Rio and the sensual pleasures of the beach become a visceral presence. When my daughter was a child, we traveled every year to a quaint resort in the Yucatan; today the sight of Scorpio in the night sky calls to mind joyful memories of both her young laughter and gorgeous turquoise water — it can feel as if I am actually there, even though the old resort has long since given way to the global leisure industry.
Because this kind of experience, this kind of memory, is so prevalent in my life,
seems to me to mean much more than an undifferentiated physical location, and also more than any particular shared cultural site. For me the idea of place has come to seem indeterminate, powerfully idiosyncratic, verging on the immaterial. Perhaps this is a form of stubbornness, of resistance: the imaginative creation of a parallel, solipsistic place, a retreat from the discordances of modern life.
The need for retreat has to do, as you might guess, with all the usual contemporary suspects: global capitalism, the commoditization of dwelling, the ubiquitous sameness of world culture — all contributing to the sense of un-rootedness or what the architectural historian Anthony Vidler has called the "modern unhomely." [2
I earn my living as an academic, and I have done so for over two decades. In one capacity or another I have taught in a dozen institutions on four continents; I have lived on three. I now teach in Ithaca; my daughter just started a job — teaching, as it happens — in Japan; I will teach next term in Rome. Thanksgiving I will be in Maine, Christmas in Japan, New Year's Day in Italy. I am working on a building project in Prague, a version of which I have built three other times in three other locations. Faculty lounges, boardrooms, bullet trains, Skype conversations: all are full of people pretty much like me.
I have many memories of events which happened in places where I no longer live; I have many acquaintances, friends, colleagues and even family members who have little in common with each other, no connectedness to any common place. They are part of what we might call my
and I am part of theirs. In our industrial, developed world, the ritual engagement of place is no longer a given or a constant; it may even be a hindrance to the modern goal of social mobility. Especially these days, when it comes to place, you might say we are increasingly left to our own devices.
In the university where I teach now, at the beginning of each academic year, we ask our freshman students where they are from. The students in my small department come from 26 countries. My faculty colleagues and I listen to the list of various places with wonder and joy; but in my case also with some ambivalence and regret.
Recently, one of my students asked me, "Where do you tell people you are from?"
I used to tell people I was from Dallas, and that I am a Texan. I like to affirm this identity, this history. But today I do so with a certain sense of dishonesty and loss — or rather, with the need to expand the answer, to describe a complex life, a circuitous journey that is increasingly ordinary. Yes, I am from Dallas, and I am a Texan, but I am also neither. The Dallas I know, the Texas I am from: these are part fact, part memory, part fiction. As much as anything else,
is now a story I tell.
Where I am from, and who I am: these are not specific to place. These are now amalgams of place and imagination, and I am rooted in the constellation that is thus created — in memories connected, though ever more tenuously, to their placeholders. Mine is an elastic story of place and experience, a story of modern life. It is a home I carry with me.

Cleveland (WRCB) - Scary moments at Signature Health Care in Cleveland Friday afternoon.
A car jumped a curb, crashed through a five foot retaining wall and struck the gas meter, which ruptured a gas line and caused a serious natural gas leak.
Bradley County EMS was on the scene having just transported a patient to the nursing facility.
When the EMT's reached the vehicle natural gas was spewing from the ground, backup was then called.
At first EMT's were unable to get the passengers out of the car due to the damage. When help arrived they were able to free the 65 year old male passenger. He had inhaled a large amount of the natural gas and was taken to the hospital in stable condition. The female driver was not injured.
The gas leak now compromised the safety of the nursing home residents. A possible evacuation was coordinated between EMS officials and Signature Health Care staff. If the need to evacuate arose residents would be taken temporarily to Cleveland High School and Cleveland Middle School.
The Chattanooga Gas Company was able to cut off the gas at the street cut off valve making the need for a complete evacuation unnecessary. The facility was cleared of any fumes and no other injuries were reported.

Holder begging for any info that says Zimmerman could be a racist.......setting up an email address to take any evidence that he's a racist.....Distraction from the issues that matter....yes.
The IRS & Holder: Looking the other wayWhose tax records were leaked by the IRS?Speaking of breaking the rules to punish your political enemies (see todays other editorial), the IRS inspector general has determined that the IRS willfully disclosed the confidential tax information of a candidate for office or a political donor, The Washington Times and The Hill newspapers reported on Tuesday. If that were not bad enough, the inspector general referred the case to the U.S. Department of Justice which declined to prosecute.At the request of Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the inspector general confirmed that his office had found four cases of unauthorized access or disclosure of tax records of political donors or candidates by federal employees. One of those breaches was described as willful, and referred to the Department of Justice. There was, of course, no prosecution.If you appear to be violating federal law in a way that would benefit President Obama politically, dont worry. Eric Holders Justice Department will look the other way. Whether you are a member of the New Black Panther Party intimidating voters at a polling place, a green energy company killing protected species with wind turbines or an IRS employee harassing Tea Party groups or accessing private tax information, youre good. Holders got your back.Here's hoping the next administration give a crap...

State reminded to get the hell out of our bodies
Wow! What an amazing win for health rights. (Thanks Mamta & Elizebeth)
Teen wins court battle to stop chemo
ACCOMAC, Virginia (AP) -- A 16-year-old cancer patient's legal fight ended in victory Wednesday when his family's attorneys and social services officials reached an agreement that would allow him to forgo chemotherapy.
Abraham Cherrix, an 16 year old boy fight Hodgkin's disease, is now free to continue his alternative treatment including an organic diet and Hoxsey therapy. Earlier this year a social worker, who discovered what the boy was doing, had the boy taken to court to force Chemo treatment. Both sides agreed in court that the boy could continue his treatment as long as he worked in conjunction with an alternative doctor who is board-certified in radiation therapy.

A 145 pound bout for the ages will go down this Saturday night (Feb. 2, 2013) as UFC Featherweight Jose Aldo takes on former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar in the main event of UFC 156 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jose Aldo has put himself on the map with his tremendous striking diversity and his tenacity which has helped him defend his belt five times already including handing Chad Mendes the first loss of his professional career last year at UFC 142 in Brazil. Now, he's out to potentially secure a legacy if he can knock off his most esteemed opponent yet.
Frankie Edgar had been told for years he was too small to be a lightweight, but he was still able to win the title and defend it multiple times. After losing the belt and the rematch to Ben Henderson, he finally dropped down to 145 pounds where he earned an immediate title shot against Aldo.
Will Aldo's powerful striking be "The Answer" for Edgar? Can Edgar create another Cinderella story, this time at featherweight? What's the key to victory for both men?
Jose Aldo
Record: 21-1 overall, 3-0 in the UFC
Key Wins: Chad Mendes (UFC 142), Kenny Florian (UFC 136), Mark Hominick (UFC 129)
Key Losses: none
How he got here: After making waves in Brazil, Aldo migrated to the WEC and immediately began wrecking the place. He tore through his first four WEC bouts with deadly striking and decided to cap it off by earning a title shot with an unbelievable eight second knockout of Cub Swanson at WEC 41. Believe it or not, the time of the knockout was the least impressive part of it. Aldo flew through the air and connected on poor Cub's chin with not one but two flying knees at once and finished the stunned Swanson off with quick ground and pound.
The Brazilian made the most of his opportunity and manhandled then-champion Mike Brown, finishing the turtling titleholder with ground and pound from behind. His victory set up a WEC super-fight with the incredibly popular former champion Urijah Faber at WEC 48. "Scarface" would work a different gameplan for that fight, massacring Faber's legs with sharp kicks until they turned into linguine and "The California Kid's" corner needed to carry him to his stool in between rounds.
After the UFC/WEC merger, Aldo was handed the UFC featherweight title and got an opportunity to defend it against Mark Hominick. The Brazilian won a hard-fought battle over the course of five rounds in a "Fight of the Night"-winning performance. He followed that up by outworking a persistent Kenny Florian for five more rounds to retain his belt.
The diverse striker returned to form last year, knocking Chad Mendes out with one second remaining in the first round in what was truly a star-making performance. He was injured twice while preparing to defend his belt last year, but after healing up, he's ready for potentially the biggest fight of his life against Edgar.
How he gets it done: Jose Aldo has a very diverse set of skills. He's got heavy hands and some of the nastiest leg kicks in all of MMA.
Look for Aldo to try to keep this fight standing and really go to work with his kicks, although he'll have to keep them low. He does a terrific job of closing off combinations with a leg kick. If he can connect a few times, it's going to slow Edgar down and slowing "The Answer" down is going to be extremely important if he wants to successfully defend. If Edgar begins to lose some of his lateral quickness, the champion could swoop in with a flying knee or some other devastating frontal attack.
If taken down, Aldo needs to do whatever it takes to pop back to his feet as it's highly unlikely he'll be able to sweep Edgar or submit him off of his back. He wins this fight by keeping it standing.
Edgar has a terrible tendency of getting rocked in fights often. If Aldo can connect with something solidly and hurt him, he absolutely has to go for broke to finish him once and for all.
Frankie Edgar
Record: 14-3-1 overall, 9-3-1 in the UFC
Key Wins: Gray Maynard (UFC 136), B.J. Penn 2x (UFC 113, UFC 118), Jim Miller (Reality Fighting 14)
Key Losses: Ben Henderson (UFC 144), Gray Maynard (UFC Fight Night 13)
How he got here: Frankie Edgar has been a perennial underdog. He never won a state championship, falling just short twice and did the same thing at Clarion University in Pennsylvania. He made the transition to fighting professionally in late 2005 and in just the sixth fight of his career, he was already making his debut in the UFC.
He competed as a lightweight because the UFC didn't have a featherweight division yet and won his first three fights impressively against top competition like Tyson Griffin, Mark Bocek and Spencer Fisher. His momentum was halted by the bigger, stronger Gray Maynard in April 2008, but that loss only fueled him to improve.
Just one year later, Edgar put on the best performance of his career against former lightweight champion Sean Sherk, outstriking his bulkier foe and stuffing the elite wrestler's takedowns. After an impressive stoppage of the then-undefeated Matt Veach, Edgar was handed a title shot that many felt he didn't deserve against the legendary B.J. Penn.
Edgar made the most of his opportunity, utilizing his speed and conditioning to outpoint the plodding Penn at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi to shock the world and win the UFC lightweight title. He proved his victory wasn't a fluke by dominating Penn in the rematch at UFC 118, blasting the ex-champ with more powerful strikes, adding kicks and even takedowns to his arsenal.
His next defense was against Gray Maynard at UFC 125 and after surviving a horrible first round in which he was dropped four times, Edgar bounced back in Rocky-esque fashion to win three of the remaining four rounds and force a draw. He squared off with Maynard once more and this time, he took care of business to score a fourth round knockout victory.
Edgar finally lost his title in a very close decision to Benson Henderson, and he rose to the occasion in a rematch but found himself on the losing end of the scorecards. After the second loss, he finally agreed to drop down to featherweight and was awarded an immediate title shot against Aldo.
How he gets it done: Edgar's key to victory is his speed and his wrestling. He's got terrific footwork and tight, technical boxing. He's fast enough to dive into the pocket, land punches and exit at angles to get out of the way of his opponent's attack, but that wouldn't be recommended against someone as explosive and dangerous as Aldo.
What Edgar has to avoid is a defensive lapse early in the fight as he has tended to be a slow starter. They key for him is to take Aldo out of his game, make him second guess his own abilities by shooting in for takedowns whenever the champion goes on the offensive.
Edgar does a tremendous job of catching leg kicks with his quick reflexes, but unlike his fight against Benson Henderson, he really needs to follow-up the catching of the kicks by either landing a leg sweep or by simply taking him to the round.
Edgar has a tremendous gas tank and while Aldo has only really slowed down in one of his fights, if "The Answer" shoots in and really makes him work, he might be able to wear him out. It won't be easy, but if Edgar can survive the first couple rounds, time will at least be on his side.
Fight X-Factor: There are two major factors for this fight. The first is Aldo's explosiveness and power. Edgar has stepped into the cage against fighters like Maynard, Penn and Henderson who have some striking talent, but none of them compare to the deadliness of Aldo. Aldo is capable of extreme precision and thunderous power at any moment's notice. There's potential that he could be so fast that Edgar wouldn't be able to see it coming.
The other factor is Edgar dropping down to 145 pounds for the first time. He's used to not having to ever cut weight for fights, or at most, a pound or two. Ten pounds wouldn't normally be much for most fighters, but for a fighter cutting weight for the first time in his UFC career, it could be difficult. There's no telling how Edgar's body is going to react and whether or not it will be adverse. If he is even less capable of handing heavy blows, he could be in major trouble.
Bottom Line: This fight is going to be incredible. Aldo has the potential of destroying anyone at any moments notice while Edgar has potentially the most heart of an fighter on the UFC roster. There is an opportunity for an epic comeback or a highlight reel knockout. There's so much going on, so many different skills that this fight could literally go anywhere and end up in all sorts of different scenarios. The unpredictability makes it even more intriguing.

Richard Gast: Cornell Ag Connection
---- — Collecting the sap that brings sugar maples out of winter dormancy and boiling it down to the right consistency for pure maple syrup has signaled the arrival of spring for generations. As a Native American tradition, sugaring is prehistoric in origin.
According to Chippewa lore, there was a time when all one had to do was break twigs off of the limbs of maples and syrup would drip from the broken twigs. Upon learning this, the Chippewas stopped hunting, fishing, gathering and gardening and instead, spent their days lying on their backs letting the sweet maple syrup drip into their mouths.
When the Chippewa creator, Nanabozho, saw that his people were becoming lazy, he repeatedly filled his birch bark basket with river water, climbed to the top of the maples, and poured water into the trees until what came out of the broken twigs was thin, watery sap. What's more, Nanabozho made it so that the sap would flow no more than a few weeks each year.
Iroquois legend tells of Chief Woksis' wife, who used sap flowing from a wound in a sugar maple in place of water, inadvertently boiling down the first maple syrup.
North America's indigenous people slashed the trunks of sugar maples on a diagonal line with axes and collected the dripping sap in birch bark containers. Boiling involved removing hot stones from a fire and dropping them into the sap. The process was painstakingly slow. An alternative method allowed collected sap to freeze. The ice was discarded. The process was repeated until all that was left was maple syrup. The Native Americans had no way of storing syrup, however, so they boiled sap to make granulated sugar, cake sugar (sugar poured into wooden molds to form blocks) and wax sugar (sugar on snow).
The Native Americans shared their sugar-making techniques with the North American settlers, teaching them to set up sugar camps in natural stands of sugar maples during the month of sap flow. In return, the settlers showed the Indians how to drill holes with iron bits and make taps from softwood or reeds. The settlers used wooden pails or hollowed out logs to collect sap, which they boiled in large iron kettles hung over open fires.
Over the years, metal buckets replaced wooden ones. Metal storage tanks replaced hollow logs. Flat pans on stoves or in furnaces proved more efficient than large kettles and open fires. Sugarhouses eventually housed boiling operations.
The use of maple sugar remained widespread until inexpensive white cane sugar, produced using slave labor, became readily available in the north.
Although abolitionists promoted the use of maple sugar, white cane sugar quickly became the sweetener of choice in most North American households.
Maple sugar producers began making syrup instead, selling it in bottles and cans.
The first known maple sugar evaporator, built in Vermont in the late 1800s, was made of a series of boiling pans within a flat pan. Heated and boiling sap was ladled from one pan to the next. Today's evaporators are manufactured with compartments and channels that allow the sap to be moved through as it reaches graduated stages of evaporation. The evaporator sits on a firebox and flames are drawn along the underside of the pan, heating and eventually boiling the sap as it travels from one compartment to another. As the sap boils, the water in the sap evaporates as steam.
Finished syrup is filtered through felt funnels lined with heavy paper before it is bottled.
Networks of tubing have replaced metal buckets. Tubing allows sap to be collected in the most efficient and hygienic way possible. Large commercial producers, employing the most advanced technologies, utilize airtight vacuum systems, which improve sap flow without taking adverse amounts of sap. By keeping the sap moving through the tubing, airtight vacuum systems effectively lessen the likelihood of bacteria growth while allowing the highest volume production of maple syrup. The collected sap can be pumped through a reverse osmosis machine that filters out up to three quarters of the water before boiling begins, saving fuel and time.

— A shooting victim is refusing to cooperate with a Kokomo Police Department investigation, leaving detectives to pursue other witnesses.
Darius Liggin, 23, Kokomo, was found shortly before 4:30 p.m. Saturday outside the St. Joseph Hospital Emergency Room. He had a gunshot wound to his left leg and a cut on his left arm.
With Liggin not talking, Detective Mike Banush said the investigation has turned toward the driver of a car caught on the hospital's surveillance cameras.
"The video shows the victim literally being dumped out of the car," Banush said.
ABOVE: Video taken from security cameras at St. Joseph Hospital on a man being dropped at the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.
The passenger door was not even closed as the driver pulled away, he said.
The video shows Liggin lying on the road near the entrance of the hospital, struggling to pull himself toward the building for 2 minutes before someone entering the hospital notices him. A few moments later, several hospital employees rush to his aid.
Banush is looking for the public's help in locating the vehicle and, in turn, the driver, whom police believe has information about the shooting.
Police are unsure of the make and model of the car, describing it only as a two-door, light-colored sports car. They have, however, released a photo of the car taken from the surveillance video.
"It's not a common car," Banush said.
Banush asks that anyone with information about the vehicle contact him at 765-456-7278 or the Kokomo Police Hotline at 765-456-7017. You may qualify for a cash reward by calling the Central Indiana Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS with your anonymous tip.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A Tijuana man who posed as an immigration attorney in San Ysidro and collected money for immigration-related services that were never supplied pleaded guilty Friday to felony grand theft and misdemeanor practicing law without a license.
Alberto Rodrigo Garcia, 50, changed his plea on the day his preliminary hearing was to take place.
The defendant - who has no prior record - will be sentenced to probation by Judge Laura Halgren at a March 4 hearing.
The judge ordered Garcia released as long as he lives in the United States, refrains from immigration consulting and acts as a tax preparer only if he is properly licensed, said Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Gianera.
Garcia was arrested Nov. 1 at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry by special agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations.
HSI agents began investigating Garcia in May after receiving a tip. The probe identified two victims who paid more than $5,000 for what they believed were legitimate immigration services by Garcia, Gianera said.
Investigators are going through three file cabinets to see if more people may have been victimized by Garcia, she said.

Cooperstown Crier
From the Otsego Herald
for Saturday, July 3, 1813
Compiled, with comments
by HUGH C. MacDOUGALL
Sacket's Harbor Saved
Dispatch from Brigadier-General Brown, to the Secretary of War ... June 1, 1813. SIR—You will have received my dispatch of the 29th [May] written from the field of battle ... that this post had been attacked by Sir George Prevost, and that we had succeeded in repulsing him ...
In the course of the morning of the 28th .. .the enemy's fleet ... appeared accompanied by a large number of boats ... I determined to meet him at the water's edge, with such militia as I could collect and the Albany volunteers ... The care of Fort Tompkins was committed to the regular artillerists and some volunteers, and that of Navy Point to ... the navy ...
A considerable militia force came in, and were ordered to the water side near Horse Island ... Our strength at this point was now five hundred men — all anxious for battle, as far as professions would go. The moment it was light enough to discover ... the enemy, we found ... 33 boats filled with troops ... under cover of the fire of his gunboats.
My orders were, that the troops should lie close and reserve their fire till the enemy had approached so near that every shot might hit its object. It is, however, impossible to execute such orders with raw troops unaccustomed to subordination. My orders were in this case disobeyed. The whole line fired, and not without effect ... but to my utter astonishment they rose from their cover and fled ...
I was personally more fortunate.—Gathering together about 100 militia ... we threw ourselves on the rear of the enemy's left flank, and I trust did some execution. It was during this last movement that the regulars ... first engaged the enemy—nor was it long before they defeated him. Hurrying to this point of action, I found the battle still raging, but with obvious advantage on our side ... Had not Gen. Prevost retreated most rapidly under the guns of his vessels, he would never have returned to Kingston ... I am, sir ... JACOB BROWN, Brig. Gen. of the N.Y. Militia.
COMMENT: Sacket's Harbor, in New York state on Lake Ontario near the outlet of the Saint Lawrence River, was throughout the War of 1812 the principal United States naval base and shipyard, and a place of vital strategic importance. On May 29, 1813, the British led by Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost (1767-1816), the overall British commander in Canada during the War of 1812, made a second unsuccessful attempt to capture it from their naval base at Kingston, Ontario.
Brigadier General Jacob Brown (1775-1828), then Major General of the New York State militia, is one of the greatest unsung heroes of the American army. He led the major American offensives in 1814, and was head of the US Army from 1815 until his death in 1828. Alas, he has been largely forgotten.
The Subscriber having been appointed by the President of the U. States, Agent for Vaccination, hereby gives notice, that GENUINE VACCINE MATTER, will be furnished to any Physician or other citizen of the United States, who may apply to him for it. The application must be made by post, and the requisite fee (FIVE DOLLARS) on the current bank paper of any of the middle states, forwarded with it. When required, such directions, &c. how to use it will be furnished with the matter, as will enable any discreet person who can read and write to secure his own family from the small pox, with the greatest certainty, and without any trouble or danger.
All letters on this subject, to or from the undersigned, and not exceeding half an ounce in weight, are carried by the United States mail free of postage, in conformity to a late act of Congress, entitled "An act to encourage Vaccination.
JAMES SMITH, U.S. Agent for Vaccination, Baltimore.
COMMENT: In 1796, Dr. Edward Jenner developed the first successful vaccination against the dreaded disease of smallpox. On Feb. 13, 1813, Congress passed a statute appointing an official Agent for Vaccination to provide genuine vaccination material (there had been a lot of fakes going around). It was the first Federal law on consumer protection and the regulation of drugs. Dr. James Smith (1771-1841) was a Baltimore physician who had campaigned for the law and became the first (and last) U.S. Agent for Vaccination. In 1821, Dr. Smith inadvertently mailed contaminated material to Tarboro, North Carolina, causing an epidemic of smallpox there that affected 60 people and killed 10. As a result, Congress repealed the law in 1822, and passed the question of smallpox vaccination back to the States.
Battle of Stoney Creek
We learn from a source entitled to the fullest credit, that the American loss at the late battle at Forty Mile Creek, in killed, wounded and prisoners, was only 105, including the two generals. The enemy's loss was treble that amount.
COMMENT: This battle, generally called the battle of Stoney Creek, was fought on June 6, 1813 on the Niagara Peninsula in what is today the Province of Ontario. Two American brigades, commanded by Brigadier Generals John Chandler (1761-1841) and William Winder (1775-1824), both of them political appointees with little military experience, had camped together. A much smaller British unit, commanded by Brigadier General John Vincent (1764-1848), attacked at night and defeated them, after his scouts had reported that "the enemy's guards were few and negligent; his line of encampment was long and broken; his artillery was feebly supported; several of his corps were placed too far to the rear to aid in repelling a blow which might be rapidly struck in front." Both the American Generals, wandering around the battlefield, stumbled upon what they thought were American soldiers, but which turned out to be British, and both were captured.
Old Age
London, April 18 ... On the 25th February...died in the county of Derby, Allice Buckley, in the 107th year of her age, who was never afflicted with the tooth-ache, or head-ache, nor ever had an hour's sickness in the course of her life. Her mother lived to attain the age of 108 years.

would a warped head on a 1948 cub let oil get in radiator
Re: head
Only if a head gasket is leaking and the engine pumping oil past the rings. In this case you would see bubbles in the coolant when the engine is running. You would also experience other engine performance conditions/problems.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: head
Since a cub is a flat head, there is no oil in the head or at the head gasket. If you have only recently purchased the cub, a good possibly is that someone put some water pump lubricant in the radiator not realizing the cub does not have a water pump.

Re: head
im losing oil from the oil pan
Re: head
So are you sure it's going in radiator, or is it getting burned, or is it leaking past seals? More information please.

Re: head
Raymond's on the right track, there is a serious problem in that engine somewhere, if oil is getting into the radiator. It needs to be located and assessed for options, but a replacement block is likely the route you need to go. Best of Luck.

Re: head
I've only had to deal with 1 cracked cub block in the cylinders and one blown head gasket, but in those cases the radiator fluid got in the oil, not oil in the radiator fluid. Something sounds odd with this.
Is oil actually coming out of the overflow tube of the radiator? Or is it possible that the oil is leaking from somewhere and then blown around by the fan and just looks like it may be coming from the overflow tube?
Consider draining both the oil and the radiator fluid to see what is actually in both of the drain pans. Depending upon when the oil and radiator fluid were last changed you may get a lot of gunk out of both places. A compression test may also be of value.
Re: head
there have been only a few instances where I have seen oil show up in the cooling system. One was where the cylinder had a casting flaw where there were some pin holes in the cylinder. The other two were where the cylinder has a crack that ran the length of the cylinder that only leaked when the engine was at oporating temp. Keep in mind that in the old days people would add some oil to the cooling system to help slow the corrosion from just plain water.

Type 2 Diabetes is a worldwide crisis and comprises ~90% of diabetics. Most anti-diabetic drugs do not act in a glucose-dependent manner and hypoglycemia (extremely low levels of glucose) sometimes occurs. The symptoms are issues such as seizures, unconsciousness, and (rarely) permanent brain damage or death. GPR40 (a receptor highly expressed in the pancreas) is a target which behaves with low hypoglycemia risk.
P11187 is a small molecule NCE which selectively acts on GPR40. This NCE is discovered and developed by PEL's NCE Research Division. In May 2013 PEL announced the USFDA's approval for 'First-in-Human' P11187 Phase I clinical trials. Currently the Phase I trial is underway and the milestone of 'First Patient Dosed' has been achieved.

Caring for the communities we operate in
Caring for the communities we operate in
We care for the communities we operate in. Recently in Sri Lanka, Piramal Glass set up a new high capacity Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) at an investment of USD 190,000. This plant will recycle over 750 cubic meters of water per day to ensure preservation of water and to meet the glass bottle manufacturing requirements.
Our bottle manufacturing is an environment friendly process. Broken Glass (known as "cullet" in the glass industry) is also used as a raw material in the manufacturing process.
The Piramal Glass plant in Sri Lanka annually consumes almost 20,000 tons of broken glass, collected from all parts of the Island at a cost of over USD 760,000. The glass bottle manufacturing plant has a production capacity of 250 tons of glass per day and over 225 million bottles per year.

Making clean water more accessible
Making clean water more accessible
150 million people in India do not yet have access to clean drinking water, and 40 million die due to water borne diseases every year. We also lose an estimated 73 million working days, erasing USD 600 million in economic value. Sarvajal is a social enterprise that we run to provide an innovative and technology-centric answer to this problem.
Started in 2009, Sarvajal provides affordable clean drinking water to 100,000 people on a daily basis and provides employment to over 250 people. The price of water per liter is INR 30 paisa (0.006 USD or less).
At present we run 150 filtration plants including Water ATMs. The water conforms to the international drinking water quality standard, ISO 10500. Two patents for this technological innovation have also been filed.
Sarvajal is one of the many initiatives at Piramal Foundation. Click here to discover the work that we are doing at Piramal Foundation.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Health Center
Taking Blood Thinners for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Monitoring Your Blood While on Warfarin for DVT
Taking warfarin for DVT is a balancing act. You want to receive enough warfarin to decrease your risk for blood clots, but not so much that clotting stops completely. If this happens, you're at high risk for bleeding problems. This is why the doctor needs to monitor your blood while you're on this medication.
The test used most often to monitor the effect of warfarin is called prothrombin time (PT). The results of this test determine how high or low your dose of warfarin should be. Your dose may be higher when you first begin treatment, then it may be adjusted to a maintenance level. The doctor may also adjust your warfarin dose in response to your circumstances, such as being scheduled for surgery or needing to take other medications.
Let your doctor know if you're planning to travel. You may need to make arrangements for blood tests right before you leave and while you're away.
Taking Precautions While on Blood Thinners
To prevent bleeding problems, take these precautions while you're on anticoagulants:
- Don't smoke.
- Use a soft toothbrush.
- Floss with waxed floss, instead of unwaxed floss.
- Instead of a straight or blade razor, use an electric razor.
- Wear gloves while gardening or doing other household projects.
- Avoid rough sports, but wear protective gear for activities such as bicycling.
Foods that are rich in vitamin K can make warfarin less effective. Try to avoid large amounts of these foods, but do not suddenly lower your intake without discussing this with your doctor.
- Beef or pork liver
- Green tea
- Alfalfa
- Asparagus
- Broccoli
- Brussels sprouts
- Cabbage
- Cauliflower
- Lettuce, spinach, kale, or turnip greens
- Watercress
- Canola and soybean oil
Also, talk with your doctor before taking vitamin E or changing your dose. Vitamin E may increase the impact of warfarin. Avoid alcohol or drink only limited amounts, because alcohol can affect how your body handles warfarin.
Potential Side Effects of Blood Thinners
If you're taking heparin or warfarin for DVT, call your doctor right away if you have any of the following signs or symptoms. Many are signs of excessive bleeding.
- Red or dark brown urine
- Red, dark brown, or black stool
- Periods that are heavier than usual
- Bleeding gums
- Nosebleeds
- Cuts that don't stop bleeding
- Severe headache or stomach pain or upset
- Weakness, faintness, or dizziness
- Frequent bruises or blood blisters
- Skin rash or irritation
- Unusual fever
- Joint or back pain
- Swelling or pain at an injection site

ATLANTA (AP) - Atlanta's mayor is defending his use of emergency lanes at the height of this week's icy traffic jam so he could do an interview at The Weather Channel's studios.
Mayor Kasim Reed's communications director Carlos Campos said Saturday that he, Reed and police officers normally assigned to the mayor traveled in two cars equipped with blue lights to reach the station's suburban Atlanta headquarters.
It happened early Tuesday evening, at a time when emergency responders were trying to help the thousands of motorists stranded on the Interstate.
Campos told The Associated Press Saturday that he doesn't believe there was ever a time when they interfered with the emergency response.

PLAINFIELD — When SSG Nicholas Wall left on his third deployment nine months ago, he knew he'd be missing out on some big family events — including the birth of his daughter.
Wall, 32, is in the Army National Guard and is full time with the military. He has been in the military for 14 and a half years. He purchased a home in Plainfield several years ago.
For his third deployment, he was stationed in Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan.
During this deployment, Wall worked with personnel from Australia, Singapore, and Slovakia.
"I worked with my Australian counterpart on a daily basis," he said. "It was a true cultural coalition."
His wife, Jenny, was between her fifth and sixth months of pregnancy when he left the country. She's a flight paramedic and the day he was deployed was her last day to work.
"They day he left was the day of the tornados in Henryville in Southern Indiana," Jenny said. "I worked a lot that day and realized that I could no longer work and be safe with my pregnancy."
Wall said he remembers that day because he had a difficult time getting her on the phone for his last good byes.
"Here I was leaving the country and my wife had to go and witness all that devastation," he said. "That was tough."
Afghanistan was not his first tour of duty out of the country. He'd been deployed twice before — but that was before he had a family.
"I was deployed twice to Iraq," Wall said. "I was in school to become a medic in 2003 when I was first deployed to the ground war."
He said he had seen his fellow soldiers miss out of the births of their children and was really worried about how the baby would bond with him.
"We used Skype a lot," he said. "Braden went through several phases during this nine-month deployment."
Jenny and Nicholas also have a son, Braden, who is 2 1/2. At first, he thought talking to "daddy" was fun. Then he got kind of bored with the idea and wanted to play with his toys.
"Then in the middle he kind of rebelled," Wall said. "When it was time for me to go, he would yell 'no' and get upset. That was difficult."
Toward the end of the deployment, Braden decided he wanted nothing more than to talk to his dad via Skype. He would even take the iPad on rides around the house so he could show his dad what he was doing.
The Walls say the video chats helped their baby, Brooklyn, to know her father's face and voice.
"There are no words to describe how I felt the first time I saw her," Wall said. "I was worried I would lose it. But when the time came and she was there, I was kind of stunned. But she came right to me with a big smile on her face."
He said he felt such relief during their reunion when she was giggling and being so comfortable in his arms.
"Back when the technology was not so good, guys missed the births of their babies and came home almost as strangers," he said. "I was actually in the delivery room via Skype when Brooklyn was born. And getting that face time with the iPad really helped. I was kind of worried that she would just think I was some weirdo on the screen but it turned out to be really good."
Jenny said she family and close friends here at home to help her get through the family's separation.
"I had great support," she said.
But despite that support, and the Internet face time, she's just happy to have her husband back home safe and sound.

A vigil is being held tonight, in honor of a soldier who took the bullets intended for someone else. David Nelson, 28, was visiting neighbors on the street he grew up on when a man drove by and fired shots at a nearby girl. Nelson pushed her out of the way before he was struck and killed.
This is not the first act of heroism seen by Nelson. He saved others in Iraq with his quick reaction after a road side bombing. He received a Purple Heart. After completing tours in Iraw and Afghanistan, his army commitment was fulfilled and he returned to Michigan. He went to Specs Howard and was working as a videographer.
Nelson's family is asking for help with funds for his burial. The vigil took place at the house he grew up in.
The suspected shooter was arrested later that night by Detroit Police. He has been charged with first degree murder. Police are still looking for the driver and the gun.

What are you currently researching?
I am researching the role of traditional medicine in a biosphere reserve in southern Africa, with the intention of exploring the relationship between self, bio-region and biosphere. I am looking at the holist approach of traditional medicine, and how this approach may improve health and well being and enhance social and ecological sustainability.
My PhD supervisors are Dr Debra Manning and Assoc Prof Harry Ballis.
Where has your current research taken you?
At the end of last year, my candidature was successfully confirmed, and after a year of hard work, I was finally off my "P" plates. Since then I have become more confident in pursuing my research interests and can now look forward to my field research.
What facet of Monash University contributes most to your research?
Having access to the excellent library resources and staff at Monash University has been invaluable to me since starting my PhD program. It was reassuring to know that staff were available to assist me in overcoming some of the initial difficulties that I experienced on returning to study.
What has been the greatest challenge?
The adjustment from being a full-time employee to a full-time student has been very challenging, in particular the financial constraints of being a self-funded PhD candidate. Finding a balance between being disciplined in my study program and also making time for the other commitments, interests and relationships in my life has been a challenge too, at times. Experiencing unexpected tragedy during my candidature has been both a difficulty and a motivation to continue.
What have you enjoyed most about undertaking research in your subject area?
Returning to the School of Applied Media and Social Sciences, at Monash University's Gippsland Campus has helped me to feel a sense of "belonging". This sense of familiarity has encouraged me to think about the many opportunities that may be possible in the future. This new way of looking at myself and the future, is the best part of this study program and for me, the purpose of any intellectual pursuit. I also really appreciate the "gems" that I get from fellow researchers and academic staff at the university when I know that what they have shared with me has saved me hours of researching, and made me think about new possibilities.

Seven-figure political contributions are a regular feature of politics this decade, but only outside groups like super PACs are allowed to accept such large checks.
