Major Highlights for the Week
Wednesday, March 2, 1864
The U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination of Ulysses Grant as lieutenant general.
Federal Colonel Ulric Dahlgren led his cavalry into a Confederate ambush at Mantapike Hill between King and Queen Court House and King Williams Court House in Virginia. During the night, Dahlgren fell into the trap and was killed and more than a hundred of his cavalrymen were captured.
Having acted as a decoy during Kilpatrick's raid, Brigadier General George A. Custer returned to Union lines from his own fairly successful raid in the Albemarle area of Virginia.
Text is from the Tri-County Messenger for 1937. The newspaper was loaned to the Kimball Area Historical Society by Ruth Brower.
Reprinted from the Tri-County News March 6, 2003.
We find that the majority of pioneers around the St. Cloud area were natives of Europe. Many of them left as young men and women to find their fortune and happiness in this new America. Those of Germany and Sweden left in many cases to escape military training that was compulsory in those countries.
The trip across the ocean seems to be an incident in their lives that is not easily forgotten, especially as the trip required from two weeks to three months, depending on the weather and the type of ship the passengers happened to have. One pioneer states, "My mother and father were on the sea two months. At one time the ship was becalmed for seven days and they almost gave up reaching America."
Photographer Doug Ohman will present "Living the Dream – Historic Homes of Minnesota" at the Annandale Public Library 10-11 a.m. Saturday, March 8. Ohman's presentation about many of Minnesota's most elegant homes is for adults. He will share the stories and personalities that are associated with these historic treasures. Ohman is the photographer of the Minnesota Byways series of coffee-table books that includes "Courthouses Of Minnesota," "Barns Of Minnesota," and "Cabins Of Minnesota." This presentation is funded in part with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Major Highlights for the Week
Wednesday, Feb. 24, 1864
Confederate General Braxton Bragg was charged with the conduct of military operations in the Armies of the Confederacy, thus becoming in effect, chief-of-staff. Bragg, though still controversial, still enjoyed the trust of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, but his reputation had suffered from his defeat at Missionary Ridge and the constant conflicts with his generals.
The U.S. Senate passed a measure to revive the rank of lieutenant general, with Major General Ulysses Grant being clearly in mind. President Abraham Lincoln approved an act of Congress to compensate every Union master whose slaves enlisted in the Army, with the sum not to exceed $300 and the volunteer was to become free. The act also increased bounties for volunteers, redefined quota credits, increased penalties for draft resistance, subjected Negroes to the draft, provided that those who opposed bearing arms for religious reasons should be assigned non-combatant tasks with freedmen or in hospitals, and gave the President authority to call for such men as required.
Major Highlights for the Week
Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1864
About 8:45 p.m., an officer of the sloop U.S.S. Housatonic, on duty off of Charleston, S.C., spotted "something in the water" speeding towards the ship. A torpedo struck the ship near the magazine causing an explosion. The Housatonic sank rapidly, stern first. All but five of the crew was saved.
The attacker was the C.S.S. H.L. Hunley, an experimental "semi-submersible" that was cigar-shaped with a torpedo or mine at the end of a long spar in the prow. After attacking the Housatonic, the explosion from the torpedo caused the Hunley's demise. All eight crewmembers perished. The Hunley was discovered in 1995, recovered in 2000 and is now on display in Charleston.
The First Confederate Congress adjourned its fourth session amid overt discontent with the Davis Administration and the progress of the war.
Thursday, Feb. 18, 1864
Federal Major General William T. Sherman's force at Meridian, Miss., continued to disrupt Confederate railroads and supply depots.
Skirmishing occurred at Aberdeen, Miss.; Mifflin, Maryville and Sevierville, Tenn.; Ringgold, Ga., and on the Piney River in Missouri.
President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation lifting the Federal blockade at Brownsville, Texas, allowing for normal trade as long as there was no commerce in military articles.
Friday, Feb. 19, 1864
Confederate President Jefferson Davis asked Admiral Franklin Buchanan what his plans were for defeating a reported naval demonstration on Mobile, Ala.
Fighting occurred at Brown's Ferry, Ala.; Houston, Egypt Station and Meridian, Miss.; Grossetete, La.; Independence, Mo., and at Waugh's Farm near Batesville, Ark.
Saturday, Feb. 20, 1864
Brigadier General Truman Seymour's 5,500 Federal troops clashed with Confederate Brigadier General Joseph Finegan's force at Olustee, Fla. Two Union regiments, the 7th New Hampshire and the 8th United States Colored Troops, gave way in confusion at the opening of the battle. The Confederates, numbering 5,000 strong, attempted to engage the rear element of Seymour's forces just before nightfall. They were repulsed by elements of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and the 35th United States Colored Troops, both composed of African-American soldiers. The Federals lost 203 killed; 1,152 wounded and 506 missing for a total of 1,861 lost, about 34 percent of those engaged. The Confederates sustained losses of 93 killed, 847 wounded and 6 missing for an aggregate of 946 casualties, about 19 percent of those engaged. The Federals also lost six artillery pieces and 39 horses that were captured. The Battle of Olustee was the largest Civil War battle fought in the State of Florida.
Sunday, Feb. 21, 1864
Confederate President Jefferson Davis worried about the pressure on the inner bastion of the Confederacy - in Mississippi; against General Joseph E. Johnston in north Georgia; at Charleston, S.C.; against Lieutenant General James Longstreet in east Tennessee; and, of course, the front in Virginia.
Monday February 22, 1864
Federal Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, again enmeshed in political intrigue, offered once more to resign. The crisis arose from the so-called "Pomeroy Circular," a document signed by Sen. Samuel C. Pomeroy of Kansas, which advocated for Chase to run against Lincoln for the presidency. Chase, in a letter to the President, denied knowledge of the circular, but admitted consultation with those urging him to run.
Qualified voters in the restored Union government of Louisiana elected Michael Hahn governor of the army-occupied state.
Jeffrey Forrest, the younger brother of Confederate Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest, was killed during the Battle of Ivey's Farm near Okolona, Miss.
Tuesday, Feb. 23, 1864
Richmond, Va., saw a buyer's panic, with food and whiskey jumping rapidly in price.
President Abraham Lincoln wrote Secretary of Treasury Salmon P. Chase that we would comment more fully later about the Pomeroy circular, in which Chase was advocated as a Republican presidential candidate to replace Lincoln. The Cabinet met without Chase in attendance.
Federal troops of Major General George H. Thomas's Army of the Cumberland, under Major General J.M. Palmer, drove towards Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston's position near Dalton, Ga., with fighting at Catoosa Station and Tunnel Hill, in what is often referred to as the Demonstration on Dalton, Ga.

Conspirare is a choral group that works out of Austin and a few times a year they make it to San Antonio. But calling them an Austin choral group though isn't entirely accurate..
"Actually only a small number of the singers are here in Austin," said Artistic Director Craig Hella Johnson. "This is an ensemble of singers from around the country, really. Each of them is a soloist in their own right. They may be performing art songs, or operatically, or on Broadway, or in faculty positions, and yet come together and form a choir of soloists, in a sense."
Fronteras: A university research team in Texas was one of six teams selected by the FAA to begin testing drones, but not everyone is keen on the idea. A little-known stretch of desert in southern New Mexico is the site of a proposed national monument but some fear its proximity to the border may invite illegal traffic. And a developer in Arizona embarks on an urban renewal project in a poor Phoenix barrio but how will this impact the area's rich Latino past?
Texas Matters: Wendy Davis and Greg Abbott released fundraising numbers this week, leading to a bigger conversation about the cost of campaigning in Texas, which considering the size of the state and inclusion of two of the top 10 media markets is expensive to say the least. Also on this show: Marijuana in Texas, prescription drugs from Mexico, ACA navigators and Google invests in a Texas wind farm.
Release the numbers! Campaign finance in Texas
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said at a Texas Tribune event that if he wins re-election he expects this will be his last term in any political office. He said he has unfinished business to accomplish before retiring from office.
Dewhurst said he'd like to continue to oversee how the state responds to Texas' current economic boom.
A movie stuffed with squirrels behaving badly, "The Nut Job" dilutes its kid-friendly message of working together to get things done by stuffing its cast full of fuzzy animals that are pretty mean to each other for nearly the entire length of the movie. Set in a vaguely 1940s-era urban landscape (the one thing I did enjoy), the movie opens on the denizens of a park worrying about having enough food for the winter.
A new exhibit opens January 22 at the UTSA main campus off Loop 1604. The exhibit is an extensive collection of race-related media, photographs, video and items from bygone eras. It's called For All The World To See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights, and according to Associate Professor of Art History Scott Sherer, that title is significant.
"The exhibit takes its title from the words of Mamie Till Bradley, who was the mother of Emmett Till," Sherer said.
Leticia Van De Putte's campaign for lieutenant governor has announced they were able to raise $290,000 in the two months following her announcement.
While that number is much lower than the Republican candidates in the race, Democratic strategist Jason Stanford said it is still a good amount to raise within a two month period.
"Usually the money you raise in your first month is your easy money, from here on out it's going to get harder, but it's a good pace to set," Stanford said.
Demolition of the modern-day annex to the 19th century Bexar County Courthouse is proceeding with the removal of the modern-day Gondek addition in the coming weeks.
The restoration of the Romanesque Revival-style courthouse will run about $30 million including the demolition of the annex and restoration of the exterior, along with interior improvements.
The current part of the project will tear down the 20th century Gondek addition, which was installed in two phases -- in 1962 and 1972.
Missing from the $1.1 trillion federal spending bill that passed Congress on Wednesday was payment to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for dues that could have paved the way for San Antonio's Franciscan Missions to gain World Heritage Site status.
But that doesn't automatically mean the missions will be passed over.
There are two concerts this weekend that are sure to pack some surprises for those attending. You may know Mark Wood as the guy who decided violins just had too stuffy an image, and who created music like this.

The city of Deer Park's offer of free swimming at the municipal pool this summer has made a big splash with area youngsters (and their parents).
The 70-year-old facility, which came close to being shut down this summer because of budget concerns, has attracted scores of youngsters over the past two weeks as temperatures easily topped 90 degrees during the day.
The pool averaged well over a 100 patrons a day during the recent heat wave. On July 12, the number of pool patrons hovered near 200.
The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced today an elevated fire danger rating and burn restrictions on DNR-protected lands in Spokane County and the area encompassed by Stevens County Fire Districts No. 1 and 2.
The fire danger rating will increase from "moderate" to "high."
Pend Oreille County and Stevens County, outside Fire Districts 1 and 2, will remain at "low."
Deer Park School District officials have decided to swap elementary school administrators for the upcoming school year.
Deer Park Elementary School Principal Michele Miller will now take over the same duties at Arcadia Elementary School. Arcadia Principal Bonnie Remington will move to DPES.
Remington has worked at Arcadia for 17 years and Miller at DPES for 14 years.
Superintendent Becky Cooke said it is unusual for principals to stay at one school for that long a period.
The switch will give the pair a "fresh start," Cooke added.
Blessed with sunny and mild temperatures, many Deer Park area residents took in the annual evening "As American As Apple Pie" concert at the First Baptist Church and the fireworks show at Deer Park High School.

What Interchange users are saying:
"When we first got into the web application business, we made an exhaustive look at the available technologies (at the time). It was apparent Interchange had the highest learning curve, but also one of the few with the ability to do just about anything you'd ask of it. Since our applications can take any form, we needed something extremely flexible, and something that if asked, could handle ecommerce, email, CRM, CMS, and anything else that comes our way. Interchange has never once dissapointed. We've always considered ourselves lucky in making that decision some 7 years ago. "

By Julie Huss
---- — DERRY — The Derry Police Department welcomed a new face to its ranks last week.
Ryan Hickey was officially sworn in as the department's newest member in a ceremony held at the police station on Sept. 13.
Hickey is a Rochester, Mass., native and comes to Derry after landing at the top of the heap from a stack of applicants for the job.
"Sixty-four young men and women applied," police Chief Edward Garone said. "Ryan Hickey came out number one. We are pleased and honored to have him join our ranks."
Hickey attended Saint Anselm College after graduating from Bishop Stang High School.
He has experience with volunteering and coaching inner city youth as part of the Manchester Police Athletic League.
He also did an internship in England, working with a special response team and a K-9 unit, receiving specialized training on police tactics and K-9 operations.
"We're hoping this will be the very beginning of a very long and meaningful career for Ryan," Garone said.
After Hickey's mother Diana pinned the police badge on his uniform, Garone presented his new hire with his police identification.
Hickey will be part of the 162nd full-time Police Academy that started on Sept. 16.
His expected graduation date is December of this year.
He said he was looking forward to working in Derry.
"I appreciate all the support, it really means a lot," he said. "I look forward to working with all of you."

Ace Attorney – As well as being an anime fan, I'm also a gamer, and this series is by far my favorite.
Fire Emblem – My second favorite game series. A great strategy series with engaging stories

The Legend of Zelda – My third favorite game series. You really can't get any better than Zelda.

An 11-year-old boy became inspired by what he learned as part of a running event at the National Infantry Museum & Soldier Center in Columbus, so he embarked on an effort to honor a fallen Marine.
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports (http://bit.ly/VNCkcG) that Gabe Jones learned about the Marine and other military members while running in the recent children's Soldier Marathon.
All of the participants received the name of a fallen soldier, and the name Gabe received was Marine Lance Cpl. Niall Coti-Sears of Arlington, Va., who was killed in Afghanistan June 23. Gabe saved his allowance, collected donations and earned enough to reach his goal of $250 to buy a commemorative paver honoring the Marine.
It will dedicated on Memorial Day.

Horse racing
Wetherby races added to long list of postponements
10:16am Monday 21st January 2013 in Horse racing
WETHERBY Racecourse has been forced to abandon tomorrow's jumps meeting due to cold snap.
The majority of sporting events in the region have fallen foul of the wintry weather over the weekend, and the race meeting joined the lengthy list of postponements after an inspection yesterday morning.
The track was covered in snow and still frozen, with the two-day forecast offering no cause for optimism.
Clerk of the course Jonjo Sanderson said: "The snow is not going to shift and there is more on its way. It was a fairly easy decision and there was no point in prolonging the agony."
York Knavesmire Harriers were forced to cancel their annual Brass Monkey Half-marathon yesterday as parts of the course were unfit.
All games in rugby union's Northern Divisions were called off, while there were no amateur rugby league games played in the Pennine League.
Football was also badly affected, with a whiteout in the Evo-Stik League, the Northern Counties East League, the York Minster Engineering League and the newitts.com Beckett League.

Former NHL toughman Francois Leroux was known for putting his fist down into the head of opponents.
Now, he'll be putting his fist down when it comes to tough decisions.
Today, Leroux was named to the commissioner's post of the eight-month old Mid-Atlantic Hockey League, a minor professional league that is based in the Great Lakes and mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It's basically a developmental league for former college and junior players looking to move up the ranks in the hockey world. Leroux played for the Oilers, Penguins, Avalanche, and Senators throughout his 249 game career that ended in 2003 and since then has been running a sporting goods manufacturing company.
The MAHL's first season ended with a whimper. Due to serious financial issues throughout the league, play was suspended in February and the Indiana Ice Minors (located in Pennsylvania) were declared champions. Two teams folded and two others have relocated since. Currently, the league has seven teams ready to play with hopes of bumping the number of viable franchises within the league to as many as twelve.
An interesting side note: the Lake Erie Vikings, formerly known as the Jamestown Vikings cited the reason for moving was due to an off-ice incident involving several players. Apparently, the players in question trashed a lodge they were in, believing that MAHL and (at the time) team owner Andrew Haines owned it. It was later revealed that the teams' arena revoked the lease in the midst of the league-wide financial troubles.
Sounds like Leroux has a lot of work ahead of him. Or maybe not.
According to the league press release, "Leroux will be responsible for refining the MAHL's efforts to develop young talent and move players and coaches from the "A" level to higher levels of hockey including the ECHL, Central Hockey League and International Hockey League."
So the commissioner won't have any sort of hand in the business operations side of the league? I sure hope they hired some new people that can handle that task.
Otherwise, we might see another World Hockey Association 2.

Ramirez injures left shoulder
Outfield prospect had been enjoying impressive spring
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The list of hobbled Detroit Tigers now includes a significant injury. Outfield prospect Wilkin Ramirez partially dislocated his left shoulder Friday afternoon diving for a line drive in a game against the Braves at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex.
Ramirez immediately grabbed his shoulder after his diving attempt and stayed on the ground in obvious pain. He was holding his left arm in place as head athletic trainer Kevin Rand led him off the field.
The initial diagnosis was a subluxation, meaning the ball of the shoulder joint popped out and back in. He'll be re-evaluated later.
The injury doesn't affect the Tigers' roster picture. Ramirez was a non-roster invitee brought over for outfield depth, and he was expected to be sent to Minor League camp in the next couple of weeks. Ramirez is batting 7-for-16 with two home runs and a team-high eight RBIs, and he was showing the natural ability that made him one of Detroit's top prospects a couple years ago.
"It's too bad, because he's having a heckuva camp," manager Jim Leyland said after the game. "But he's made an impression. We'll be watching him."
A prized signing out of the Dominican Republic in 2003, Ramirez's path through the system has been slowed by injuries. He missed the entire 2004 season with surgery on his right shoulder, and he missed half of the '06 season with a left shin contusion.

The issue of hunger and homelessness is very apparent right here in Bismarck/Mandan.
That's why there's an effort to feed those in need.
This is the Empty Bowl event.
A fundraiser that encourages people to decorate and purchase bowls then fill up on a bowl of soup.
Money raised will go to the Missouri Valley Homeless Coalition.
Organizers say they have around 300 bowls with around half sold.
They want the public to be aware about hunger and homelessness not just this week, but everyday.
"Our numbers are pretty high right now with homeless shelters, it's nearing 600 in the Bismarck/Mandan area, and I know a lot of my clients utilize the soup cafe, the soup kitchens on a daily basis, especially with the recent food stamp cuts." says Katie Lee, Missouri Valley Homeless Coalition.
Organizers raised more than 34-hundred dollars which will go to the Missouri Valley Homeless Coalition.

New Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier apparently isn't afraid to put his stamp on his team. That came in the form of cutting several veterans who were bastions of the Brad Childress era, including TE Jeff Dugan and LB Heath Farwell.
OL Ryan Cook, another Childress holdover who by most accounts had a solid training camp, also was cut.
Those veterans were shown the door, along with second-year OG Chris DeGeare, to make room for several rookies. Some of the roster decisions — which clearly are not final, with the possibility to make more moves this week in advance of the opener at San Diego — were a bit surprising.
Making the team for now are undrafted rookies LB Larry Dean and TE Allen Reisner. The Vikings were lean at linebacker but kept four tight ends and no true fullback.
Also making the team are two rookie OL projects, DeMarcus Love and Brandon Fusco, and two unheralded journeymen, Patrick Brown and Seth Olsen. Only Olsen (three games in 2009 with the Broncos) has any experience among those four reserves. Jon Cooper, who has played in 13 career games (one start), is the other reserve lineman with NFL experience. The team opted to keep 10 offensive linemen on the initial 53-man roster.
Reisner caught the ball well in camp, and the team apparently thought it best not to try to sneak him through waivers. He's a younger, cheaper alternative to Dugan, although Dugan proved he could play fullback. The team has no true fullback on the roster and opted to keep only three running backs, a curious decision considering backups Toby Gerhart and Lorenzo Booker suffered injuries recently.
Farwell was regarded as one of the team's better special-teamers, although his play dropped off last season and his salary was restrictive for a team needing the cap space. Dean stood out on special teams during the preseason, even with two penalties in the finale. It's unknown if the Vikings consider him worthy of defensive snaps on the weak side right away.
The Vikings opted to retain 11 defensive backs, although injuries clearly played a part there. Sixth-round FS Mistral Raymond continued to catch the coaching staff's eye throughout camp, and though he might not be ready for a starting assignment now, his potential rise up the depth chart is something to chart as the season goes on.

Conn. Town to ABC's Liberal Hidden Video Show: Get Out
What Would You Do?, an ABC News hidden camera program that often engineers scenarios to expose the supposed bigotry of Americans, was asked on Wednesday to stop filming by the town of Greenwich, Connecticut.
The ABC program uses a hidden camera to see how people react. On February 4, 2011, host John Quinones explained how the show hired an actor to play a security guard and pretend to harass Mexicans. The piece, billed as an investigation of Arizona's immigration law, featured the faux-security guard spewing, "...If they're not legal citizens, they shouldn't be here. They should be deported. They look Mexican."
On March 4, 2011, Quinones and his TV crew constructed a hidden camera scenario that involved gay military veterans expressing physical affection for each other in a diner.
The journalist narrated, "They're holding hands, stroking each other's hair and caressing each other's legs...So what will happen if we throw in our actor Vince, posing as an irritated diner, who's had enough of this PDA."
On January 6, 2009, Quinones took the program abroad to find out how actors portraying "ugly Americans" would be treated in France. Quinones chided, "The loud, clueless American, oblivious to French manners and culture, and the haughty French, who seem to relish putting them in their place."
Notice that, even in another country, the ABC program still focused on uncouth, prejudiced Americans.
Not all the shows are political, however. Writing for the Greenwich Times, staff writer David Hennessey explained how the town of Greenwich reacted:
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
We told them, `You can't film here,' " Dustin Anderson, the executive assistant to First Selectman Peter Tesei, said, describing the Tuesday filming around Greenwich Avenue of the hit ABC show "What Would You Do?" as "disruptive."
Tesei said the show's crew was allowed to complete its filming Tuesday, but was asked to choose another location for a Wednesday shoot.
The show, hosted by John Quinones, stages ethically challenging situations and follows the reactions of bystanders. The hidden camera series "puts ordinary people on the spot," according to the show's website.
Hennessey added, "Capt. Tim Berry, of the Greenwich Police Department, said the scene that caused a stir Tuesday involved an intoxicated adult who needs to be driven by a child."

"Let's construct a scenario that illustrates the bigotry and intolerance of conservatives/Republicans". The entire premise of their construct is that if you disagree with outwardly displays of homosexual affection, or illegal immigration, you must be wrong, and let's demonstrate that for our viewers.
Oh, and just to make sure that we get a good representation, we'll lump in those who want reasonable, LEGAL immigration with some bigot who says, "They LOOK Mexican".

The left has the belief that people are inherently bad and it is the duty of government to control the actions and thoughts of these bad people.
This show operates under the same philosophy, people are bad and runs with that premise. Not only do they operate under that assumption, they go on to use conservative values as their examples of "bad".
I've seen this show a few times and look at it as an assumption wandering around looking for proof.

So much for liberals believing that people are inherently good. I've seen that claim made before, and frankly, stunts like this show just make me think it's B.S. If liberals really believed people were inherently good, would they allow the government so much control over said people's lives? No, I think you're right, Mr. Ed - they despise anyone who doesn't think like them and delude themselves into believing they are the rightful rulers of the world.

Submitted by Kenyon Schraeder on Thu, 08/25/2011 - 12:41pm.
Here's where the wheels come off for ABC and this show.
Let's just say that I took great offense to the security guard's tirade about illegal immigrants and got in his face over it. If it wasn't a reality TV show, the cops would surely be called by the store and I'd be charged with something like trespassing or disorderly conduct.
Now, being it's a reality TV show, and given the position of liberals and their being in cahoots with the ACLU, I'd probably be sued, if not arrested for attempting to stifle the guard's "right to free speech".
Either way, ABC is out to deliberately make people look bad.
See, in the "old days", I could jaw at him all I want, flip him the bird if I was so inclined and be on my way. If he pursued the matter, we'd simply settle it outside, win or lose.

Would be nice if abc had a show about the people of America who daily help others, showing how generous and caring they are. It is quite obvious that because abc dislikes America and their great qualities they waste time and money on this garbage. All cities where this hateful show is produced should do what was done in Greenwich. Libs are very sad people and their hate for this great country is a disgrace. And their agenda being spewed all over the world is even more discusting. Move out, if America doesn't satisfy your needs.You could join Penn, Barbra and Baldwin. Go go go

What Would You Do? has to be one of the most vile pieces of trash on the airwaves today. This show is demonstrative of the problems with the media's presentation (fabrication of reality in order to illict an emotional response) and the political bias they bring to the table. How bald-faced and obvious can you be? "Control the narrative, control the narrative!" and all that bullflop.
I must say, though, that I liked the time they tried to find hypocrites in Texas with a fake scenario about a young couple arguing about whether to have an abortion. Of course, ALL of the Texans encouraged them not to have the abortion and many asked to pray with them. Such scandal.

Of course, the driver is usually dressed like Haight-Ashbury circa 1967, and has probably not bathed or showered in three weeks and decries the use of antiperspirants and deodorants as "unnatural".
Yes--that is a true example and the driver involved was one of my former patients who tried to get me to write for a high dose of Xanax to deal with "environmental dysphoric disorder" she read about on some psychobabble website. She didn't like my advice to knock off the booze and pot (first appointment, she smelled like a rotting bong) and she promptly told me I was "not the kind of doc" she wanted.

The Simpsons™: Tapped Out is a hilarious management game featuring our dear The Simpsons
"Homer accidentally caused a meltdown that wiped out Springfield. Now it's up to you to rebuild it". This is the perfect premise to start building a city from a scratch which is precisely what a city management game is about. The difference lies on how fun it is when you know all the facilities and even the inhabitants of the city since they are all part of the most-watched-and-known cartoon TV show around the World: The Simpsons.
First off, Simpsons' house must be built which will make Lisa show up. She will guide you through a step-by-step tutorial (oh, such a smart girl!). Other characters will show up as you perform quests and build up houses and facilities. You can both collect and interact with them all. Apu's Kwi-E-Mart, Flanders house, Dr. Frink's Lab, Krusty Burger, Van Houten house, Springfield Elementary or even Duff Brewery are just some of the buildings you will be able to build as you level up.
Like other management games, some resources must be collected: basically money and donuts. The latter can be used to speed up building time or to end daily actions up quickly (you can add up by in-app purchase). Lots of buildings, lots of characters, lots of quests mean: lots of hours of fun. In addition, real-time actions will keep you coming back once and again to the game to watch how Springfield's life is evolving.
The game's is graphically unbeatable: smooth HD scenes, well-crafted 3D buildings and textures and of course, a cute cartoon graphics as they are in the TV show. Optimized performance: it runs smoothly even on medium-end devices. Intuitive tap & drag controls which makes it highly playable for all audiences.
I can keep reviewing it for a long long while, however, I just say: try it out. You won't regret.

Aeschylus' Agamemnon and Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis. Two very different versions of the Trojan War, both set at the intersection of international politics and family values -- one focused on the war's bloody aftermath, the other on its hopeful if equally bloody beginnings.
Agamemnon (90 min) takes place in Argos, in front of the King's palace, ten years after the start of the Trojan War. Iphigenia in Aulis (75 min) takes place ten years earlier, as the Greek army awaits a good wind to set sail for Troy.
There will be a fifteen minute intermission between the plays.

A five-minute drive from downtown, Uptown's public spaces entice visitors with bike paths, sculpture gardens, and locals blasting impressions of Björk's pet swan over a megaphone. Nearby, rented canoes crisscross Lake Calhoun's calm waters, and restaurants serve eclectic cuisines from fresh seafood to Japanese cuisine on outdoor patios. Visitors to Uptown can feast on American fare at restaurants such as Primebar, which serves up sandwiches, steak, and seafood with largely local brews; The Herkimer Pub & Brewery in Lyn-Lake, known for its small batches of craft beer; and the Uptown Cafeteria, offering trendy contemporary meals. Evenings out at Bar Louie tempt guests with martinis, margaritas, and other cocktails accompanied by pub food, and Chino Latino delights palettes with dishes small and large, spicy and explosive.

The Canadiens came out ready to play, hitting the post on an early breakaway by Max Pacioretty and having their way with scoring chances for about 3 minutes, then Daniel Briere took a boneheaded penalty in the offensive zone, and the Habs gave up.
Absolutely embarrassing in every way. These Canadiens have gone from contender to garbage.

This Fredericktown family says they live outdoors. Swimming, building teepees, you'll find them doing just about anything. Older sister Chelcy Hobaugh says in the summer heat they like their cool treats.
"The kids went nuts, so we said we'd try it out," said Chelcy.
According to the directions, it's just three easy steps away from a nice, cold slushy. First, you need to freeze the cup for at least three hours. Step two, take any cold beverage and pour it in, the colder the better. Next, let it sit for at least a minute and judging by the look on Jack's face, it's a long minute for this 6 year old. Last step, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
"It's not doing nothing," said Chelcy.
Beware, it may claim it's mess free, but clearly that's not the case. Ten-year-old Lexis hopes to have the magic touch and gives it some squeezes too.
"It's not got ice or anything in it, its just not a slushie," said Chelcy. "A mess on the counter, it was coming out the top it was horrible."
Before we completely throw this product down the drain, the family agrees to give it one more shot. For full disclosure, I did freeze the cup in Cape, packed it in ice, and then drove to Fredericktown, so the cup may not have been as cold as in needed to be. So, they decided to freeze it and try it again. This time, the results are much better.
"Even with the mess, I'd say a B," said Chelcy.

Figgins wins Clutch Player of the Month
Third baseman hits .461 with ML-best 53 hits in June
ANAHEIM -- After enduring two broken fingers and a dreadful .133 average through his first 90 at-bats, struggling third baseman turned great redeemer Chone Figgins finished June with a Major League-best 53 hits.
He drew little attention, battling quietly without the slightest hint of frustration or worry.
Now, everyone was watching -- the fans in particular, selecting Figgins as the winner of the Major League Baseball Clutch Performer of the Month for June.
The less-than-imposing 5-foot-8-incher dwarfed his competition, eclipsing the Angels' club record of 48 hits in a month set by Darin Erstad. Figgins raised his average to a healthy .325, while driving in 17 runs, scoring 23 more and stealing 14 bases. His .461 average during the month led the American League. He had at least one hit in 25 of 26 games played in June, and became only one of four players to have 50 or more hits in a month over the last five seasons.
The most glaring example of his revamped swing came during a 10-9 come-from-behind win over Houston on June 18. Figgins went a perfect 6-for-6 with three RBIs. He plated the go-ahead RBI in the second and drove in the tying run in the seventh before blasting a walk-off triple down the right-field line.
"Its always an honor," Figgins said of being recognized for individual achievement, "but I think it was more important that we were winning, too. That makes it even more special."
Figgins' resurgence was fueled by the arrival of long-time friend and former Double-A Arkansas teammate Nathan Haynes. Inserted into the lineup on May 28 after an impressive showing in the Pacific Coast League -- he batted .386 in 44 games -- Haynes helped Figgins cope with his first trip to the disabled list of his Major League career.
No stranger to human frailty, 27-year-old Haynes spent 10 injury-laden seasons in the Minors, enduring eight surgeries before landing in Anaheim.
"He helped me calm myself down, not trying to make up for an entire month that I missed in one at-bat," Figgins said. "Being that I've never missed time before [and he had], he was kind of explaining it to me. Having one of your boys break it down to you kind of puts things in perspective."

Breaking down the barriers: campaign to improve facilities in Bournemouth for disabled people grows
3:00pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News By Jenny Awford
A CAMPAIGN to make Bournemouth more accessible for disabled people has been stepped up to help connect the community and boost tourism.
Bournemouth People First, an advocacy group run for and by people with learning disabilities, is raising awareness about accessible toilet provision in the town centre and seafront.
They have backed the Changing Places campaign along with charity Access Dorset which aims to cater for those with profound and multiple learning disabilities and their carers. Amanda Parsons, from Bournemouth People First, said: "We want to leave a lasting legacy and really make Bournemouth an accessible town and break down the barriers for those people with disabilities."
"At the moment it is very difficult for people with severe disabilities to spend any longer than an hour or two out of their homes as there are just not adequate facilities.
"That is why the Changing Places toilets are so crucial, because they give enough space and the right equipment, including a height adjustable changing bench and a hoist."
Bournemouth People First is currently marking out all the accessible and Changing Places toilets on a map which they will upload to their website at www.out right.org.uk A Bournemouth Council task group spearheaded by Deputy Mayor Cllr Phil-Stanley-Watts will be looking at accessible toilets provision and baby changing facilities in the town.
He said: "Bournemouth is a top tourist resort and we need adequate facilities.
"We need to cater for the very elderly and the severely disabled, as well as those with young families."
There are currently 11 toilets with disabled access on the seafront and 20 public toilets with disabled access in the town. There are also Changing Places toilets in the Lower gardens and at the Kinson Hub.
Cllr David Kelsey, equality and diversity champion for Bournemouth council, said: "We are committed to providing good-quality, clean and accessible public toilets for residents and visitors in key locations in the town."

Get rid of the cobbled streets around the town centre, have you ever tried manoeuvring a wheelchair around Bournemouth, it's a nightmare.
Next, get rid of that horrible glassy, sliding paved surface outside and around Cafe Obscura, anyone, whether disabled or not, takes their lives into their own hands when they walk on that in the wet weather.
And, when you've done that, get back to me and I'll give you some more things that need doing.

Deborah Tobin always surrounded herself with pets.
"She was very much a dog lover," recalls her a neighbor.
And it's that love for one of her latest adopted four-legged friends that Lower Merion Police believe led to her deadly misstep.
After family members reported her missing, the 48 year old woman's body was found in a parking lot on the 100 block of Rock Hill Road late last night.
Investigators say it appears she fell from the cliffs above.
Police say the accident happened when the Bala Cynwd woman went into Eco Valley Nature park looking for her runaway brown lab mix.
"It's sad. It's a life. It's a life that's not here," says Karen Ebberts, a friend.
Tobin's brother tells us Deborah came back home to Bala Cynwd just last month after living in Florida for years.
After her dad died in May, she wanted to return to where she was raised to care for her mother.
"I just feel really bad for her mom. Really bad!" says Ebberts. "She was very good daughter."
Karen Ebberts still heartbroken. The woman she's known for 25 years is gone. A woman with a huge heart and love for animals as well the mother she came back to care for.
"You could tell there was a lot of love there that she showed her parents," says Ebberts.
The brown lab mix was found near Wawa.
He'll be shipped backed to Florida to be cared for.

Media | The stoning of Steven (w/ podcast)
I don't think I'm capable of writing conventional sports journalism. I just don't find it interesting enough. My wife makes me sit through Sky Sports News, where they have these by rote interviews with players. They never say anything remotely interesting. "You gotta respect the team we're playing. We gotta take it one game at a time." Most of the football magazines nowadays end with the question, "So, Wayne, how do you find the new Nike Predator?"
Judged by the rapidity of response, Wells's most provocative commentary thus far came on Jun 15 ("Americans Are Soccer-Savvy … and That Scares Little Englanders"). He addresses David Beckham's arrival at L.A. Galaxy and takes on English and American conceptions of association football on the respective shores. To start scrolling through the 466 comments registered during the subsequent seven days is to commit oneself to a gray text stream that, for length, challenges one of the online Acts of Parliament.
Championing historian Eric Hobsbawm's attitude toward football as art, Wells writes of the rewards that association football offers the American polity:
[S]occer-playing America is massively liberal, loving, caring, socially conscious and nice. While soccer-hating America consists of increasingly isolated gangs of Bush-supporting, bible-bashing, gun-crazed, dungaree wearing, banjo-playing, quasi-fascist chicken-lovers and their twelve fingered, pin-headed, cyclopic, drooling monster children.
No problems here. Nevertheless, soon readers were tossing cultural grenades and debating the merits of American microbrews, among other tangents. Commenter 12string on Jun 18 chides Wells for a lack of social-scientific rigor: "[Y]ou show incredible ignorance of the average US population…. My kids have the normal number of fingers & are not slack-jawed, drooling idiots. You play to extreme, liberal typecasting assumptions and don't have a single clue about what normal America (between the coasts) believes or does."
Five-a-side football—one of Wells's favorite variations—provides the conceit behind this rough-cut comedy experiment, No Skillz. Not a comedy classic, but enjoy Stephen Merchant's performance behind the microphone.
Misinterpretation of Wells's column often falls along predictable lines, such that he on occasion has found the need to preempt well-worn patterns of argument: offense over the arrogance implicit in the phrase "World Series," especially when used in America unironically; rage concerning use of "soccer" to mean "football"; and the entrenched belief, despite all available evidence, that Americans do not like "soccer." One column, "For the Love of Blog" (Aug 20), consists solely of Wells anticipating his interlocutors' objections. "The nondialectical cart having been presented first," Wells imagines someone named postmodernmanpat typing, "it now falls to the mocked respondents to provide the subdialectical horse." "I think the writer should be forced to choke on the dust at ground zero," says the hypothetical kneejerk.
