Post subject: Trade: vinyl, CD, tapes, shirts, zines...Some rare items.
-All items are in totally excellent condition unless stated otherwise.
-I prefer to trade for wanted items. Really, if I was looking to make money from my music collection I would just sell/auction this stuff on Ebay or Discogs...
-Of course multiple trades per item can be negotiated either way. Will trade multiple CDs for any LP or wanted item.
-I take all proper care with packaging and expect the same. I take the precaution of sending any vinyl overseas via international airmail. It's not a good thing to recieve an LP warped due to 10 weeks in the surface mail system just because someone wants to save a few extra bucks. If you arn't prepared to send an LP by airmail don't contact me.
***IMPORTANT NOTE: I am based downunder at the ass-end of the world (in New Zealand) so please take into consideration the possibility of higher postage costs and longer delivery times due to the tyranny of distance from most places.
PM me with any questions / offers / lists.

The FOX 5 I-Team has confirmed the identity of the fired police officer at the heart of a sex scandal in Henry County. Public safety authorities have refused to identify the female officer because she filed an appeal, but FOX 5 I-Team reporter Randy Travis was able to confirm her as Erin Hudgins.According to internal affairs, records two police sergeants had sex with Hudgins at separate times, both on and off-duty. Records say the bad behavior happened in a Stockbridge cemetery, outside a local church and in a Lithonia hotel after one of the male cops called in sick. The two sergeants got demoted and Hudgins got fired along with two other male officers implicated in the investigation."The three officers that were terminated had disciplinary action that led up to that. That, in combination with the current case, is what led up to the termination," said Sgt. Joey Smith of the Henry County Police Department. Following an Open Records request from FOX 5, the department released Hudgins' previous history of troubles. Hudgins, who joined the Henry County department in 2011, received a written reprimand after she crashed her patrol car in a traffic accident. She got another write-up for insubordination and a 40-hour suspension without pay for conduct with yet another Henry County cop, former Sgt. Matt Beaver. He was ultimately disciplined as well and eventually arrested on charges of stalking for sending "hundreds of emails and text messages" to Hudgins after she told him to stop.FOX 5 gave Stockbridge Mayor Mark Alarcon his first look at the details."I don't know that we can go live with some the language that's in these documents," Alarcon said. The mayor and City Council recently voted to stop using Henry County police and create their own city police department. County cops having sex in one of their cemeteries only reinforces their decision, Alarcon said. "These are public officers that are being paid to serve and protect and they're doing these types of activities while on the clock," said Alarcon. "Things of misconduct and accidents or things of nature are going to happen. But you can control those things better at a local level."Hudgins' lawyer, Steve Frey, said that his client believes that she was treated unfairly and that the information available "contradicts the position taken by the Henry County police department."Hudgins and the other two fired Henry County cops could have their appeals heard as early as next week.

Part III Administrative Complaint
Case Summary
The Commission filed a complaint with an administrative law judge charging that between 1991 and 1996 Rambus, Inc. joined and participated in the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (JEDEC), the leading standard-setting industry for computer memory. According to the complaint, JEDEC rules require members to disclose the existence of all patents and patent applications that relate to JEDEC's standard-setting work. While a member of JEDEC, Rambus observed standard-setting work involving technologies which Rambus believed were or could be covered by its patent applications, but failed to disclose this to JEDEC. In 1999 and 2000, after JEDEC had adopted industry-wide standards incorporating the technologies at issue and the industry had become locked in to the use of those technologies, Rambus sought to enforce its patents against companies producing JEDEC-compliant memory, and in fact has collected substantial royalties from several producers of DRAM (dynamic random access memory). (February 17, 2004)
The administrative law judge dismissed all charges against Rambus, ruling that Commission staff had failed to sustain their burden of proof with respect to all three violations alleged in the complaint. The Initial Decision found that Rambus' conduct before the JEDEC standard-setting organization did not amount to deception and did not violate any extrinsic duties, such as a duty of good faith to disclose patents or patent applications. The Initial Decision also found that the there was insufficient evidence that there were viable alternatives to Rambus' technology before the standard setting organization. (August 2, 2006)
The FTC issued an opinion by Commissioner Pamela Jones Harbour concluding that Rambus unlawfully monopolized markets for four computer memory technologies that have been incorporated into industry standards DRAM chips. Drams are widely used in personal computers, servers, printers, and cameras. The Commission found that, through a course of deceptive conduct, Rambus was able to distort a critical standard-setting process and engage in an anticompetitive "hold up" of the computer memory industry. The Commission held that Rambus's acts of deception constituted exclusionary conduct under 21 Section 2 of the Sherman Act and contributed significantly to Rambus's acquisition of monopoly power in the four relevant markets. (February 5, 2007)
Chairman Majoras issued the opinion of the Commission on remedy in the Rambus matter. In this opinion, the Commission prescribed a set of remedies barring Rambus from making misrepresentations or omissions to standard-setting organizations, requiring Rambus to license its SDRAM and DDR SDRAM technology and setting limits to the royalty rates it can collect under the licensing agreements including with those firms that may have already incorporated its DRAM technology, and requiring Rambus to employ a Commission-approved compliance officer to ensure it discloses relevant patent information to any standard-setting organizations in which it participates. (April 4, 2007)
Rambus appealed the Commission's order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which heard oral arguments in February 2008. In April of 2008, the Court issued an opinion that set aside the Commissions final orders and remanded for further proceedings consistent with the Court's opinion. On February 23, 2009, the Supreme Court denied the Commission's Petition for Writ of Certiorari. On May 14, 2009 the Commission formally dismissed the complaint in the Rambus matter.

No one was injured in an extra-alarm blaze that destroyed a Northwest Side warehouse Friday morning.
The three-alarm blaze started at 9:15 a.m. in a single-story warehouse at 1945 N. Latrobe Ave., according to Fire Media Affairs. The building listed at the address is Advanced On Site Concrete, Inc.
The fire was put out at 10:15 a.m., according to Fire Media. No one was injured.
The warehouse is a total loss, according to Fire Media. Companies were still on the scene late Monday morning chasing small amounts of fire.
Earlier, the Fire Department was told the building contained propane tanks and a HazMat response was ordered.
At least four trains on Metra's Milwaukee District/West Line were stopped near Grand and Cicero because of the Fire Department activity, but were starting to move again as of 11 a.m., according to Metra's website.

By David Willis
Staff writer
---- — The snow is finally beginning to melt, the days are growing longer, and that noise you may have heard was the sound of baseball bats and lacrosse sticks being dusted off, and the track team moving from the field house to Lovely Field.
But before the spring season kicks off, it's time to look back on another classic winter season in Andover High sports.
Here are some reflections on the 2012-13 Golden Warrior campaign.
Upset special
Was the shot good? Had the buzzer ended the game?
Two-plus weeks later, everyone is still asking that question about David Giribaldi's hoop as time expired in the Division 1 North tourney matchup with top-seeded St. John's Prep in one of the most dramatic wins in recent memory.
The referees ruled the dramatic shot was good, and the Golden Warriors went on to stun the red-hot Eagles and advance to the Division 1 North semifinals.
Central Catholic hockey spent nearly the entire season ranked in the Top 5 in the state, and made a run in the Super 8 tournament.
But that didn't matter to the Golden Warriors.
Behind a whopping 43 saves for goalie Colby Gilbert, Andover High shocked its archrival Raiders 3-0.
It made it even more amazing, since Central walloped the Warriors 8-1 in their first meeting of the season.
Goals by Tyler Weeks, Mark Campbell and Danny Keenan led to the epic upset.
Central Catholic girls basketball will play for the Division 1 state title on Saturday, but Devon Caveney and her Warriors got the best of the Raiders in January. Caveney scored eight of her 16 points in the fourth as the Golden Warriors topped the favored Raiders 49-37.
Title town
Andover boys gymnastics had to wait a day for it to be official due to a clerical error, but it was worth the wait.
In the final year of varsity boys gymnastics in Massachusetts, the Golden Warriors took home the team title, well ahead of runner-up Lowell, which was 14 points back in the seven-team field.
Star Brian Manning led the way, winning every event to easily win the all-around with a 35.0.
The boys weren't having all the fun in gymnastics.
Junior Jessie Livingston, who nearly had to quit gymnastics due to a serious back injury, took home the state title in the beam with a 9.55 at the state meet. Her teammate Courtney Carver was third in the all-around (37.1) at the same meet.
Swimmer Eric Zhao added a state title of his own, winning the 100 freestyle at the Division 1 boys swimming championship at Harvard University.
Milestone moments
It will be strange next season to watch the Andover girls basketball team, because the Golden Warriors will be taking the court without four-year varsity mainstay Devon Caveney.
A key member of three state title teams, the Williams-bound Caveney added another huge milestone to her resume this winter when she scored her 1,000th career point on a rare four-point play.
She finished her career with 1,205 career points, the fifth most in the program's history.
Andover's 55 meter shuttle relay certainly made a splash last weekend at the New Balance Indoor Nationals.
The foursome of junior Courtney Comeau, sophomores Hanna Chapman and Jill Gamache and freshman Lizzie Kobelski placed 10th overall in the top-tier "open" section in a blazing 34.47.
Just .01 seconds proved to be enough for skier Kerry Christopher.
Christopher won the giant slalom in a stunning photo finish, besting Manchester's Alex Marshall 21.95-21.96 at the Interscholastic (North Shore League) Meet championship.
It was the end of a terrific senior season for Christopher, the fourth member of her family to ski for the Golden Warriors.
Alex Blake joined the swim team because friends wanted him along, and became a diver "because it seemed cool."
Four years later he emerged as one of the top divers in the state. This season, he finished third overall at the Division 1 boys championship.
Sibling stars
There were times it seemed every big play for the Andover boys hockey team was made by a player with the last name Campbell.
Brothers Scott Campbell, a senior, and Mark Campbell, a sophomore, were each go-to performers for the Golden Warriors. Scott led Andover in goals (13) and points (19), while Mark was right behind with 10 goals and 18 points.
Joining them on the Golden Warriors' top line, their neighbor Will Sauerbrunn.
For the last three seasons, Jackie Alois has played a key role in the success of the Andover girls basketball team. The last two years, she was joined in the starting lineup by her younger sister, Rebecca Alois.
Each took on an even greater role this season, scoring in addition to their normal intense defense and rebounding.
Younger sister Veronica Alois arrived at Andover High this season, but didn't follow the family tradition on the court.
Instead, she joined the hockey team, and in just her third varsity game scored four goals in a win over Central Catholic. Veronica, a freshman, finished the year with 14 goals.
Cassie Kobelski's father and three uncles were all stars at Central Catholic. But Cassie always had a dream of following in her mother's footsteps at Andover High.
Now she has a new dream, reach 40 feet in the shot put and maybe set the school's all-time record.
With a throw of 38-10 on her resume, that record being broken could be one of the highlights from the upcoming spring season.

Tours were very well organised and not too pricey- the Mendenhall glacier is a must! Hubbard was spectacular and the captain got the ship very close.
Spa was excellent value for money with plenty of special offers Would recommend booking the train transfer to Seward, it's like another excursion and only 25 dollars extra if you have booked transport by bus to anchorage.
We were at a table for 10 and with great people, including chuck Bertrand the guest canadian mount speaker who was knowledgeable and highly entertaining, go to his talks if you get the chance. Dinner portions are not huge but with all you can eat at the windjammer for lunch and breakfast we found dinner was just fine. Can't wait to go back, well done rccl

if by better u mean louder, drunker and just plain crazy...yeah, i'll agree. uk takes it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
outside of hattons' fan base...i really haven't seen anything special about the uk fans. they love boxing just like everyone else. i would think that trinidad's fan base (especially at msg) was bigger and louder than most. oscar brought a pretty good fan base as well. the uk fans bring that soccer game spirit to the fights. they're singing and chanting all nite...even when they're guy is getting served. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
i may be biased because i'm in socal...and i happen to be of latin descent...but i think the latino fans are the most electric. i'll agree with check that mexican fans are fickle. cris arreolla at the staples against klit comes to mind....chavez against matt vanda is another that comes to mind. the crowd was throwing bottles at him and his pops. also...ortiz/lopez is another one...i watched that crowd go from cheering ortiz to booing him when he rabbit punched lopez.
on the flipside...i've seen puerto rican crowds give it up to a fighter who has beaten their own. i don't know if that qualifies as electric...but i think they are a very knowledgeable/respectable fan base.

On a recent Saturday, Johan Dijkland, a 23-year-old student in Emmen, Netherlands, opened a free messaging app called Line on his iPhone. Then he tapped on a virtual sticker of a sleepy panda with a "good night" speech bubble and pressed send to a friend.
A fast-growing crowd of mobile messaging apps with funny names like Viber, WhatsApp, WeChat and KakaoTalk is rankling technology giants from Silicon Valley to Seoul. Evelyn Rusli and Viber CEO Talmon Marco join digits. Photo: Viber.
How big of a money maker are apps? What country's GDP is the size of the global app economy? How does app use compare to TV in terms of time spent per day? WSJ's Jason Bellini has answers.
With that action, Mr. Dijkland's text joined the tens of billions of messages that are processed every day from a fast-growing crowd of mobile messaging apps.
These messaging apps—with funny names like WhatsApp, WeChat and KakaoTalk—have become an indispensable form of communication for hundreds of millions of people world-wide.

Texting apps are especially costing wireless carriers, which for years relied on the services for the bulk of their revenue.
Unmasking the App Developer
A survey shows that app creators are, on average, young males and few make much money.
Favorite Apps
Business leaders, athletes and entertainers share their smartphone and tablet apps for work and play.
By some estimates a single text, which may cost as much as 20 cents to send or receive, costs the carriers themselves just one-hundredth of a cent. The rise of texting apps has taken away $23 billion in revenue from carriers as of the end of 2012, according to market research firm Ovum.
Matt Murphy, a venture capitalist at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers who has invested in voice and text messaging service textPlus Inc., said mobile messaging has now become people's "primary social graph." He added, "Apps are taking that audience and turning that into something bigger."

Over the long term, Zynga also plans to build its own unified messaging service for its games network, these people said.
"This is a market where everyone is talking to everyone," said Talmon Marco, chief executive of Viber, based in Cyprus. He said his messaging company—which has more than 175 million subscribers, more than triple from a year ago—recently signed with Indonesian carrier AXIS Telekom Indonesia to be the preferred messaging app on the network and plans to announce another half dozen or so carrier partnerships in the next few months. Mr. Marco said Viber is also talking to games companies about promoting games on its platform.
Big tech companies acknowledge that mobile messaging is a top priority. Peter Deng, Facebook's director of product management who handles communication applications, said messaging apps weren't a big focus two years ago—but he now spends about 75% of his time thinking about mobile messaging "because it's important to the people we serve."
Facebook is now playing catch-up in mobile messaging. The company released a stand-alone messaging app in late 2011 and only started allowing people to sign up for a Facebook messenger account with their phone number last year.
More recently, Facebook has stapled on new features to its messaging app, like calling, voice mail and impermanent texts. It plans to accelerate product releases for its messaging services, Mr. Deng said.
Messaging apps, known as "over-the-top" apps because consumers don't pay carriers directly for the services, typically go beyond plain-vanilla text messaging with features such as voice notes, camera applications, access to games and virtual stickers that are popular among teens and young adults.
The juggernaut of messaging apps is widely considered to be WhatsApp, based in Mountain View, Calif., and founded in 2009. In January, WhatsApp said it processed 18 billion messages a day, up from 10 billion five months earlier, the company has said. The app has hundreds of millions of users, with more than 100 million downloads on Google's Android phone alone.
Tencent's WeChat, meanwhile, said it crossed 300 million subscribers in January.
But messaging apps face challenges in converting their popularity into significant revenue. WhatsApp has no advertising and charges its users $1 a year. It also has brokered lucrative arrangements with carriers—some, for instance, will sell users special WhatsApp packages that offers unlimited data through WhatsApp for a small fee per month.
Kakao, with about 82 million subscribers, takes a kitchen sink approach to making money, generating revenue from sales of stickers, games, advertising and an e-commerce store where users can buy Starbucks credit or $1,000 diamond necklaces.
Kakao co-CEO Sirgoo Lee said his Seoul-based messaging app makes roughly half its money from promoting mobile games of third-party publishers. It splits games revenue with platform providers like Apple and the game makers themselves, keeping about 20%. Since August, Kakao has grown games revenue from $500,000 a month to $4 million a month, he said.
"We don't know exactly what will work, but we're constantly experimenting," he said.

Buyers are also knocking on her door, but she said Line doesn't need to sell because it is backed by a public South Korean company and has plenty of capital and momentum.
"I've had people call me about it, but right now my answer is no," she said.

The Studio is open to the University community by application. Projects that make use of the Studio's unique resources are preferred. Some criteria that we look for in a project is whether it
- makes use of our unique venue and its resources (green screen, multi-camera video and audio recording, HD projection, motion capture, etc.)
- is experimental
- is collaborative
- is original (created by U-M faculty, students, or staff)
- involves new, thoughtful uses of media
- affects learning/teaching/research
We also take into consideration whether
- a student project is a requirement for a degree and
- a plan exists for the finished product to be published and/or distributed

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (utladyvols.com) -- A powerful offensive attack by #4 Tennessee (41-6, 17-4 Southeastern Conference) and a season-best 13th straight victory weren't the only major stories on Friday night in front of 1,214 fans at Lee Softball Stadium as Lady Vol sophomore starting pitcher Ivy Renfroe one-upped UT's 11-hit outburst by tossing her second career no-hitter to lead the Big Orange past Mississippi State, 8-0 (6 inn.).
The Jackson, Tenn., native owned UT's most recent no-hitter, putting up zeroes in an 11-0 (5 inn.) victory over Western Carolina during her freshman campaign on April 8, 2010. The Tennessee program now owns a staggering 35 no-hitters over the course of its 16-season history.
Over her last six appearances in the circle, Renfroe is an impressive 6-0 overall with a 0.40 ERA, 31 strikeouts in 35 innings of work and three complete-game shutouts while allowing just two earned runs. In all the 6-0 right hander hasn't allowed an earned tally over her last 25.2 frames of effort. Against MSU, she walked two and struck out five while throwing just 98 total pitches.
"We're all extremely proud of Ivy for throwing a no-hitter against a good-hitting team like Mississippi State," Lady Vol Co-Head Coach Ralph Weekly said. "When we're hitting the long ball at the same time our speed game is working and we're getting solid pitching like we did tonight, we're a tough team to beat. Karen (Co-Head Coach Weekly) and I really appreciate the effort our team displayed in stepping up to a challenge."
At the plate for the Big Orange, sophomore left fielder Raven Chavanne posted a perfect 3-for-3 night with a triple, two runs scored, a pair of steals and an RBI, while senior center fielder Kelly Grieve was 1-for-3 with a towering two-run HR, her career-best fifth big fly of the season.
Junior third baseman Jessica Spigner blasted her fifth HR over Tennessee's last nine contests (also her 12th HR of the year) with a three-run shot that easily cleared the scoreboard on the fly at Lee Stadium. Sophomore second baseman Lauren Gibson was a flawless 2-for-2 at the dish with a double and two walks to lift her SEC-leading batting average (counting league games only) to an even .500 (31-of-62).
Junior first baseman Shelby Burchell doubled and recorded an RBI as part of her 2-for-4 performance, while freshman Chelsea O'Connor made the most of her start in right for the injured Kat Dotson by going a perfect 2-for-2 with a tally.
Mississippi State managed a lead-off walk from shortstop Ali Bainbridge to christen the contest and quickly moved her into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt from right fielder Briana Bell. The runner never moved from that spot, however, as Renfroe got Ka'ili Smith to fly out harmlessly to right and then struck out first baseman Courtney Nesbit swinging to end the frame.
As they have done so often this season, the Lady Vols managed a run during their initial at-bat, doing so for the 23rd time in 2011. A combination of a lead-off single by Chavanne, a base knock from Gibson and a pair of steals pushed UT in front 1-0 through one inning.
With Renfroe cruising in the circle, the Big Orange added to its advantage in the bottom of the third by tacking on two tallies via a pair of hits. Following another lead-off single by Chavanne, Grieve stepped into the batter's box and ripped a two-run HR to extend the lead to 3-0.
A one-out base knock off the bat of UT's O'Connor was cashed in by Chavanne in the bottom of the fourth. The Thousand Oaks, Calif., native blasted a pitch off the very top of the wall that missed going out of Lee Stadium by mere inches. Chavanne settled for an RBI triple as O'Connor scored easily from first to make it 4-0, Big Orange.
A new Bulldog pitcher started the bottom of the fifth in the circle as Misty Flesher relieved starter Stephanie Becker. UT greeted her rudely as Gibson started the assault with a double off the wall and then Burchell drove a single to the outfield grass to put a pair on the base paths for Spigner. The Santa Clarita, Calif., product absolutely crushed a pitch over the scoreboard for her 12th HR of the season as the advantage expanded to seven tallies.
Things got briefly dicey for the Lady Vols and Renfroe in the top of the sixth. Bainbridge started the frame by drawing a walk, but was soon cut down at second on a fielder's choice off the bat of Bell. Smith dropped a slow roller back to the circle that Renfroe misplayed for an error, putting a pair of Bulldogs aboard with still only one retired. Nesbit lined a shot to short that was caught right off the top of the dirt by substitute shortstop Melissa Brown. She quickly tossed on to Gibson covering second for a big twin-killing.
With zeroes still showing on the scoreboard and Renfroe's potential no-no in the works, it was left to the Tennessee offense to try to finish the contest early. Gibson managed a two-out walk and soon scampered around with the game-ending run as Burchell contributed a walk-off RBI double.
The series finale between #4 Tennessee and Mississippi State is slated for Sat., April 23, at Noon ET at Lee Softball Stadium.

Attorney General
Texas attorney general has a message for gun-loving New Yorkers
Posted Jan 18, 2013 7:00 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is taking aim at New York's new gun control law with Internet ads seeking to lure unhappy firearms enthusiasts to his state.
The pop-up ads, funded by Abbott campaign money, deliver two messages, the Austin American-Statesman reports. One reads: "Wanted: Law-abiding New York gun-owners looking for lower taxes and greater opportunity." Another says: "Is Gov. Cuomo looking to take your guns? Sick of the media outing law-abiding gun owners? Are you a lawful NY gun-owner seeking lower taxes?"
Those who click on the ads are directed to a Facebook page that says, "Keep your guns, come to TX." The site says the state has right-to-work laws and a reasonable regulatory environment. "And we'll fight like hell to protect your rights."
The state also has no income tax. "You'll also get to keep more of what you earn and use some of that extra money to buy more ammo," the Facebook page says.

HILLSDALE Ś The importance of understanding local history is what Hillsdale resident Dan Bisher shares with groups and organizations and is something he has researched for more than 20 years.
ōItÆs important to educate the community,ö Bisher said. ōI think itÆs important for people to know who they are and who they come from Ś there is a rich history here.ö
Recently, Bisher spoke to the Hillsdale Kiwanis Club andĀthe Rotary Club.
In September, Bisher will speak at the WomanÆs Congress building during fair week.
Currently, Bisher is a freelance writer and public relations consultant. He has completed a three-volume history of the Hillsdale Community Health Center.
For more than a decade, Bisher has researched, written and published articles about pioneer history. He will soon be publishing ōFaded Memories: Examination and Profiles of Hillsdale CountyÆs Pioneer Period.ö
ōThe problem is finding a publisher,ö he said. ōI may end up publishing it myself.ö
Many remember his thrice weekly program ōTales of the Old Sauk Trailö on WCSR Radio.
Bisher is a 1963 graduate of Hillsdale High School. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1963 and in 1965, he received orders to South Vietnam as a combat correspondent with the Third Marine Division. While serving in South Vietnam, Bisher earned the Combat Action Ribbon and a Purple Heart.
His research on Chief Baw Beese spans history from 1827 to 1840, with the Huron and Potawatomi tribes.
Bisher said Baw Beese Lake in Hillsdale is named after Chief Baw BeeseÆs memory.
ōPeople were romping the area that many years ago,ö he told Kiwanians on Tuesday.
Giving some history as to who Chief Baw Beese was, Bisher said the historic figure remains elusive and his name was never translated, but might have been a ōrichö name.
ōThe name denotes bobbing on the water or little stream, like a playful infant who smiles at you,ö Bisher said. ōHe may have used different names or other status names.ö
Definition roots remain unknown and photography had not been invented, but Bisher found statements saying he was ōa well built man of favorable lightģthe finest species of the red man who always wore broadcloth.ö
Bisher also notes the chief was married and because polygamy was the practice, he may have had two wives. He lived in eastern Monroe County near the Raisin River before coming to Hillsdale County.
He said the Indians dressed in the same clothing as the settlers and attempted to live harmoniously with them during a time of ōcooperations and good will.ö Other views note the pioneers were harsh and ōtolerated Indians.ö
In the summer of 1839, the president issued an Indian removal order. The tribe had purchased land near Waldron and Squafield Roads. The 29th Ultimo was written June 13, 1840 to suppress the inroad of Potawatomi Indians.
Page 2 of 2 - Though most who knew the Indians said they were ōgood natured and strictly honest,ö there were groups who were hired for $2.50 an hour to hunt the Indians and keep them from remaining. Local residents offered to assist the soldiers and newspapers printed nothing of the events, Bisher said.
Bisher found two accounts of what happened 170 years ago this past fall. He said some Indians hid in cornfields and some escaped. Agents arrived and secured guides and they took the Indians at gun point before they woke.
ōThey knew they were to be removed and meet a dreadful fate,ö Bisher said. ōMany witnesses were sympathetic and saw Indians marching with the soldiers.ö
All were taken except Baw Beese and his wife, who was recovering from an illness. Soon, they too departed from the land of their birth, noted Bisher, but Chief Baw Beese was concerned he would be killed by the Sioux Indians.
Bisher said different responses found noted Chief Baw Beese may have been killed in stories of ōdisturbances,ö that he was seen by two settlers as written in the Hudson Post in 1865, or he was moved to a Kansas reservation.
ōThe historical mysteries of Hillsdale County state he was taken out west,ö Bisher said. ōDid he die? - probably not. Did he evade? - I doubt itģhis existence has faded from memory long ago along the Old Sauk Trail.ö

Federal and state regulators have struck a deal with Microsoft that any version of Windows released after May 2011 will not be subject to the scrutiny mandated by a 2002 antitrust settlement.
As previously promised, however, Windows 7, will be put under the microscope.
[ InfoWorld's experts take their early looks at Windows 7 in a special report | Get insight on the latest tech business trends with InfoWorld's Tech's Bottom Line blog and InfoWorld's Reality Check blog. ]
Thursday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed documents (download PDF) with U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly asking that she extend her oversight by at least 18 months, until May 12, 2011, to give Microsoft more time to finish documenting the communication protocols needed by competitors to craft software that works smoothly with Windows clients and servers.
Although Microsoft has consented to the extension -- and acknowledged that the regulators can later ask for another 18 months -- Kollar-Kotelly must approve the request.
The two sides have also agreed to clarify the status of future versions of Windows, the documents revealed.
The plaintiffs -- the DOJ and the various states that participated in the 2002 settlement -- disavowed any future extension request solely because of an impending Windows upgrade. "Plaintiffs and Microsoft have agreed to a clarifying modification of Section V.A that makes clear that the pending release of a new version of Windows will not provide grounds for Plaintiffs to exercise their right to seek a further extension of the Final Judgments for up to eighteen additional months beyond May 12, 2011," the papers stated.
Originally, the consent decree Microsoft signed was to expire in November 2007. But several states objected, and after months of legal back-and-forth, Kollar-Kotelly in January 2008 extended her oversight by another two years, to Nov. 12, 2009. At that time, however, she left the door open to continued monitoring, and Microsoft agreed that she could extend it for up to three more years, to Nov. 12, 2012. Microsoft and the states and federal officials also came to an agreement about future editions of Windows and the 2002 judgment.
"Plaintiffs and Microsoft have agreed to modify Section VI.U to confirm the view of all parties that & a new version of the Windows client operating system that is distributed commercially only after the expiration of the Final Judgments would not be a Windows Operating System Product and would not be subject to the requirements of the Final Judgments," the documents read. "Plaintiffs would therefore have no reason to conduct a compliance review of a new version of Windows scheduled to be released after expiration of the Final Judgments."
Windows 7, however, is a different matter. Although Microsoft has not officially set a ship date for the still-in-development successor to the problem-plagued Windows Vista, it's expected to release the OS later this year, or at the very latest, early in 2010. A release candidate, the last milestone before Microsoft would certify the operating system as ready to duplicate, is expected next month.

FORT WORTH — The fast-moving fire at the Antigua Village Apartments in Fort Worth Friday afternoon cornered Marena Vasquez and her four-month-old son, Ricky. They were home alone.
"I just see all the smoke coming in from the door and I tried to look through the peep hole, and it was so dark," Vasquez said. "I tried to open it, but smoke hit me in the face."
With no way out, she dashed to her bedroom.
"I took out the curtains and I picked up the blinds and opened up the window, and I looked out... and I just see flames coming out of the apartment," Vasquez recalled. "I said, 'Oh my God!' and I yelled out, 'Help!'"
Her husband, Ricardo Vasquez Jr., and a friend — both maintenance workers at the complex — heard her screams.
They didn't wait for rescue crews to arrive.
"I was so scared, you know; that's my family," Ricardo Vasquez said. "I opened the door, kicked it, and ran to the last room, and I told one of the guys, 'Get the ladder!'"
Another worker, Antonio Olvera, also stepped in. He got into position under the second-floor window.
"I told her, 'Give me the kid!'" Olvera said in Spanish. "'Throw him to me! Hurry, throw him!'"
Marena Vasquez wrapped little Ricky in a blanket and prayed.
"I dropped him, and he caught him," she said. "He's our angel, because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know what I do. I still would have been stuck in that apartment. "
Vasquez and her husband used a ladder to get out. She said all of the men who rescued her and her baby are heroes. They gave her the best gift this Christmas — the gift of family.
"We are all together," she said. "None of us is in the hospital or injured or anything."
Four families were displaced by Friday's fire. The apartment's management relocated them to other units in the complex.
Fort Worth Fire Department investigators believe the blaze, which started in another unit, was sparked by unattended cooking.

Flow Tailgate Alaska: The Man Games
Words: Graham Mueller
Photo: Aaron Gotthardt
Let's face it, ninety-percent of the people at Flow Tailgate Alaska are men, and by our very nature are driven to compete. Add to that the fact that Alaska is known for its gun-toting, tobacco-chewing, non-ironic beard-wearing, manly men, and the stage is set for the Man Games.
Every night at the beer garden Tailgaters tested their skills at various manly games. To the victors: fame, glory and spoils from the sponsors. To the losers endless shame and ridicule, at least until the next night when they got a shot at redemption. Ever pound a nail with the claw end of a rock hammer? You'd be great at hammerschlagen (also known as naglan or nails depending on your region and particular rules). Other man games include axe throwing, keg toss for accuracy, keg toss for distance and a log throw into a barrel – you know, with the barrel 30 feet behind you. And don't let the name fool you, plenty of ladies took part in the games as well. One woman, Cally, was especially adept at throwing axes. Look out fellas.
The conclusion of Tailgate saw the Man Games Super Championships. The event celebrated all things manly and Alaskan. The winner would be chased by women and feared by men along with $1000 worth of gear including: a Flow Snowboard, a Viole split kit, Dye goggles, Crack Grease wax, a pair of crampons and on and on until you wonder if he won a snowcat to put it all in.
The contestants start off by chugging a beer, either Alaskan Amber or IPA. Second, he finds a buried beacon before drinking another beer. Then he turns a snowmobile around 180° (lifting, not driving). Lastly, you guessed it, he chugs one more beer before finally throwing a log into a barrel with his back turned. Good times were around three minutes. The winner was Alaskan jack-of-all-trades Opie, a Tailgate staffer who made up for his slow beacon search and sled drag with instant beer chugs and a first toss winner on the log throw.

Some people deserve to be peed on #whoareyou
"Some people deserve to be peed on #whoareyou "
It is a distasteful statement when made in the context that it was. It is even more distasteful to think that it was posted to brag.
When I found this particular tweet during my research about the allegations of rape at Steubenville High School, I sat in front of my screen in disbelief. I tried to let the words sink in. I was repulsed because I knew the context in which this statement was made and then I became very angry. Angry that another human being would find even a morsel of pleasure regarding such a sadistic act. There is not a lot to say about this particular tweet. I will let the words of its author speak for themselves.

Steubenville Big Red Rape Accusations: The Other Perpetrators
On August 11, students from Steubenville High School or "Big Red" as it is known locally, attended various end of the summer parties in the Ohio Valley. That night while in attendance at a party that was allegedly held at a COACH's home, underage students were drinking to celebrate the end of the summer. For many in attendance, it was the end of their high school journey and they were moving on to attend various colleges. I do not have all the facts, and have read many accounts of what transpired, but the end result was a young girl was brutally raped and attacked by members of the Steubenville High football team and it was videotaped and posted on the internet. I am not solely pointing the finger at the football team because there were boys who took part in this attack who were also on the wrestling team, baseball team and track teams. The point is these boys represented the school and their respective teams. Playing high school sports is not a right. It is a privilege and with that privilege comes a higher responsibility to represent yourself and your school in a manner that will not taint the reputation of your school. Athletes should be role models for other students, and in this case – they were not.
The student athletes who participated are not the only ones guilty of disseminating the attack of a defenseless girl, but the students who saved the video to their cellphones or who retweeted and reposted the video attack and talked inappropriately about the victim are just as guilty of smearing the reputation of their school, as well as guilty of disseminating criminal material. So, in a nutshell YES this behavior represents their school and will have long running implications on every student who has ever attended Big Red. Big Red will now forever be known as that high school where the kids who raped that girl attended.
I have been reading tweets and posts online for the past few days and I can tell you that I am DISGUSTED. TRULY and UTTERLY DISGUSTED at the things being posted by those who were in attendance of this brutal attack or the posts by their girlfriends who are disparaging the victim's reputation. I am disgusted with the students who are protecting their friends and tweeting "Oh, ______ better not get in trouble for this." Tweet after tweet has been filled with support for the boys who were arrested, as well as vowing their support and willingness to stick together because they are "#StuebenvilleStarsForever". No, you are not stars. You are criminals who are walking around right now on borrowed time.
The other students and former students of Big Red have yet to be charged with anything as of yet — even though they were present and they participated in the dissemination of the videotaped attack. The coach who had a party with alcohol in which minors were in attendance has neither been named or charged as of yet. I know the names and for now will not post them, but will provide screenshots of the tweets that were deleted from their accounts. I also have the name of the football player who posted the video online. The video and the Youtube channel were deleted by its owner – more than likely in attempt to save his butt and cover up his part in the crime. He also deleted his Twitter account. I have screenshots of that, too. Not only was it being sent via phone, but it has been downloaded and saved by others. ALL of these individuals who have in their possession or who have sent this video have participated in disseminating material involving the sexual assault of a minor.
I have seen much victim blaming from these kids as well as adults. Every time someone posts a comment about why was she at this party or didn't her parents teach her any better - is revictimizing the victim. Many seem not to care that she was victimized by these kids only that the ones who took part are still suiting up each week to play football. I have seen posts where adults are stating this may be a "false accusation" and comparing it to the Duke Lacrosse team rape allegations. She was PASSED OUT! How in the world did she have a say in what was going on? I can ASSURE you that these boys KNEW what they did was rape. One of them tweeted the Nirvana video "Rape Me" after the other said the song of the night should be "rape me".
There are screenshots of the video that was posted with tags "rape" and "drunk girl" . Tagging the video with the word "rape" clearly shows their knowledge of the crime. Did they think because they are star athletes that no one was going to do anything to them? Is their status as star athletes permission to do whatever they want without repercussion?
These boys have brought shame not only upon their own families, but on the community that supports them. They have also blighted the name of their school and anyone who attends it from this day forward. The parents who once beamed with pride while reading their sons' names in the local paper will now read their names again but this time that pride will now be replaced with tears and shame.
To the other boys that were involved who are still free to go to class tomorrow morning, I can only hope that their time walking around as free men is limited. Tick tock.
Big Red Players Accused of Rape & Kidnapping
For anyone who has lived in the Ohio Valley area, they know that high school football is a very important part of the culture of that area. High school football Friday nights are a source of entertainment for young and old. The local television stations even curtail regular programming to run the games live. To an outsider, it seems a bit over the top. I mean, it's HIGH SCHOOL football for crying out loud. Not the NFL or college, but high school. Big Red football stadium looks like it could be a college stadium complete with press box and big lights. Football IS the Ohio Valley and the student players are treated like sports royalty.
Two 16-year old football players from the Steubenville Big Red football program were charged with rape and kidnapping charges this morning in Jefferson County, Ohio and are being detained in the juvenile detention facility on those charges. On August 11 a female student from a neighboring school was brutally raped by members of the football team she met at a party. Not only did they rape her, but videos were made of the rape and posted on Youtube, and from what I have been able to determine by some of the tweets that I have read, they were also being posted on Twitter. On August 14, she and her family made a police report to the Steubenville Police Department.
Prosecutor Jane Hanlin had said she will step aside in prosecuting the case because she personally knows some of the juveniles named in the investigation. An official determination is pending as to whether she will ask the Ohio Attorney General's office to take over the prosecution. In my opinion, if she knows the juveniles, then she should do the right thing and step aside so there are no claims of impropriety based on her relationship with the boys or their families.
I have been following the twitter accounts of many of the football players and students about the attack, and quite frankly am a bit shocked that some of them are supporting the boys. This was tweeted about the victim. "You supposevly [sic] get "raped and tweet happy shit #idontgetit #dumbbitch and was retweeted by one of the football players. What is a rape victim SUPPOSED to do after a brutal attack?
The boys have not been publicly named and the local news WTOV Channel 9 has turned off comments for any of the news items they post about the incident. Odd, huh? In the state of Ohio, the law says that the names of people charged with crimes, even juveniles, are public information, however, the names of the players have not been released by the media. There is no reason why their names should not be released to the public. They videotaped and photographed their crime – in my opinion, that's a slam dunk case. They have the smoking gun. They brutalized their victim further by posting images and video of the attack for others to view. The video has since been pulled, but WHO does this? What normal person would even consider that posting the brutal rape of a young girl is something that should be shared with their peers? Do they think because they are Big Red players that the rules don't apply to them?
It amazes me how society places a higher value on athletes than it does for the people who protect and give their lives for our country. [author redact - thank you to those posting factual links to base my opinion on. I do recognize that I am not always right, and would never want to be. I appreciate the dialogue and the opportunity to educate myself. Learning is part of growing as a responsible adult. -p]
I'll be following the Big Red rape story to see how this one plays out.
