Actor Stephen Baldwin will be the featured speaker this month at an ex-gay conference called Rising From The Ashes, sponsored by the Hope for Wholeness Network. The conference, which will include ex-gay testimonials [PDF] and workshops such as "Healthy Male Same-Sex Relationships" and "Ministering to Teens," will also feature ex-gay therapist Joe Dallas and McKrae Game, who claims he "relented and came into the homosexual lifestyle" after a neighbor came on to him. Game claims the new group [PDF] is "developing strategic partnerships with Exodus... MORE >

Ex-gay activist Joe Dallas appeared on The Steve Deace Show this week to discuss the growing acceptance of same-sex relationships and warned that gays and lesbians will "bring the judgment of God" on America. Dallas, who recently wrote a book condemning homosexuality with actress Anne Heche's mother Nancy Heche, warned that the gay rights movement will bring society "one more step down the ladder towards a much lower standard of human behavior" and leave people in a "dismal" state. Deace: Where does this end ultimately? What happens to the... MORE >

Yesterday, Religious Right broadcaster Janet Parshall hosted ex-gay activists Joe Dallas and Nancy Heche, actress Anne Heche's mom, to discuss their new book "The Complete Christian Guide to Understanding Homosexuality." A caller, John, said that based on his personal experiences with gays and lesbians he doesn't consider homosexuality to be an "emotional or choice-oriented kind of decision" as they seem "compelled to be this way." Heche responded that gays and lesbians might seem different from straight people because they are trying to conform... MORE >

'Ex-gay' activist Joe Dallas yesterday appeared on Janet Parshall's talk show In The Market where he spoke out against a bill making its way through the California state legislature curtailing the discredited and harmful practice of reparative therapy, specifically towards children. While responding to a question from a caller, Dallas predicted that a "revival" will occur within the gay community when they realize they are on a "quenchless quest for a very elusive peace" as they will always be unhappy because they are gay, not because of anti-gay...

Joe Dallas, the former leader of Exodus International and speaker at Focus on the Family's Love Won Out conferences, appeared yesterday on The Janet Mefferd Show to attack Christian figures who support equal rights for gays and lesbians. Dallas claims that he is an "ex-gay" and runs his reparative therapy group, Genesis Counseling. He has also endorsed the work of the immensely discredited Joseph Nicolosi, an officer of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality and who jokes that it is better for a child to have brain damage than to be gay.

A log truck rolled into Phillips Creek on Monday, causing minor injuries to the driver.
Justin Wright, 33, was driving eastbound on Highway 204, about a mile west of Elgin, when he lost control of his truck while coming out of a curve.
The truck traveled onto the shoulder of the road and rolled down the embankment and into the creek. Wright was able to free himself from the truck without assistance, and Oregon State Police cited him for failure to drive within a lane.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality was notified of the accident, but officials haven't said whether or not there was a diesel spill from the truck.
The logging company is working with the Oregon Department of Transportation to clean the logs and wreckage from the creek.
The recovery effort is affecting both lanes of the road, and OSP suggests that travelers look for updates on TripCheck.com.

Fear Itself (DVD)
Reviewed by Uncle Creepy
Featured stars: Johnathon Schaech, J Larose, Anna Kendrick, Eric Balfour
Featured directors: Stuart Gordon, Brad Anderson, Mary Harron, Breck Eisner, John Landis, Ronny Yu, Ernest Dickerson, Darren Bousman, Larry Fessenden, John Dahl, Rob Schmidt, Rupert Wainwright, Eduardo Rodriguez
Distributed by Lionsgate Home Entertainment
Despite its intentions, Masters of Horror Season Three this was not. Fear Itself came, went, and was ultimately killed off by the Olympic Games, never to be seen again until right now on DVD in an interesting little package from Lionsgate.
Before I begin, let's take a quick look at the episodes included here, some of which are director's cuts and were never aired.
"Eater" is directed by Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator) and written by Cemetery Dance Magazine publisher and editor Richard Chizmar (From a Buick 8) and actor Johnathon Schaech (Masters of Horror). A rookie cop (Moss) must spend her first night in the precinct watching over a serial killer, coined "The Eater" (Stephen R. Hart, Shoot 'Em Up). When her fellow cops start acting bizarrely, she quickly learns that no one is who they seem. Russell Hornsby (Lincoln Heights), Pablo Schreiber ("The Wire"), and Stephen Lee ("Boston Legal") also star.
"Spooked" is directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist) and written by Matt Venne (White Noise 2: The Light). While on a stake-out in a haunted house, a private eye (Roberts) is made to confront the demons of his past. Jack Noseworthy ("Judging Amy"), Cynthia Watros ("Lost"), and Larry Gilliard Jr. ("The Wire") also star.
"Community" is directed by Mary Harron (American Psycho) and written by Kelly Kennemer (The Music Within). When a young married couple, played by Brandon Routh and Shiri Appleby, find the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood, their lives seem...well...perfect. But as the dark underbelly of their neighborhood creeps to the surface, they soon realize that their neighbors will go to any extreme -- even murder -- to make sure that they comply with their twisted sense of conformity. John Billingsley ("Star Trek: Enterprise") also stars.
"The Sacrifice" has a screenplay written by Mick Garris (Riding the Bullet) from a story by Del Howison (Dark Delicacies). Breck Eisner (Creature from the Black Lagoon) directs. When four people find themselves stranded in an old, snow-covered fort, they slowly discover both the fort and the seductive trio of sirens who reside there are filled with deadly secrets.
"New Year's Day" is directed by Darren Bousman (Saw II, III and IV) and written by Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) from a story by Paul Kane. A young woman wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by horrifying zombies.
"Family Man" is directed by Ronny Yu (Freddy vs. Jason, Bride of Chucky) and is written by Dan Knauf ("Carnivale," "Supernatural"). This action-charged, psychological thriller focuses on a likable family man who switches bodies with a serial killer after a near-death experience. Now he must fight from behind bars to keep the murderer from adding his family to the long list of victims.
"Skin & Bones" is written by Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan (Masters of Horror) with Larry Fessenden directing. When a cattle herder returns home to his family after being lost in the woods for days, he just doesn't seem the same. Soon a terrible mortal struggle ensues against the terrifying monster possessing him.
"Something With Bite" is a reinvention of the classic werewolf story from writer Max Landis (Masters of Horror), the son of John Landis. Ernest Dickerson (NBC's "Heroes") directs.
"Chance" is written by Lem Dobbs (The Score) with John Dahl (You Kill Me, The Last Seduction) directing. In the vein of such classic doppelganger stories as Jekyll & Hyde and Poe's "William Wilson," the episode explores a dreadful, classic battle that ensues when a man is confronted by his evil self.
"In Sickness and in Health" is directed by John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) and written by Victor Salva (Jeepers Creepers). On her wedding day a beautiful bride receives a mysterious note that reads: "The person you are marrying is a serial killer."
"The Spirit Box" is directed by Rob Schmidt (Masters of Horror, Wrong Turn) and written by Joe Gangemi (Wind Chill, the novel Inamorata). When two suburban high school girls, played by Anna Kendrick (Rocket Science) and Jessica Parker Kennedy (Kaya), try to contact a dead classmate via a board game, they receive an unexpected message from beyond the grave. The dead girl, thought to be a teen suicide, was actually killed by a teacher with whom she'd been having an affair and now wants their help in avenging her murder. Martin Donovan ("The Dead Zone," "Weeds") and Mark Pellegrino ("Dexter," "K-Ville") also star.
"Echoes" is directed by Rupert Wainwright (The Fog, Stigmata) and written by Sean Hood (The Crow: Wicked Prayer, Halloween: Resurrection). Steven (Aaron Stanford, The Hills Have Eyes), an affable, good-natured young man, moves into an apartment where he believes he once lived -- 88 years ago in a past life. But as memories appear to him like ghosts, he begins to believe that in this previous life he was a sadistic murderer – or is he just imagining things? Eric Balfour ("24," The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Camille Guaty ("Prison Break," "Las Vegas") also star.
"The Circle" is written by Cemetery Dance Magazine publisher and editor Richard Chizmar (From a Buick 8) and actor Johnathon Schaech (Masters of Horror, That Thing You Do!), based on the short story of the same title written by Lewis Shiner, with Eduardo Rodriguez (Curandero, Daughter) directing. A group of people meet every Halloween to tell horror stories and suddenly discover they're living one. Starring Johnathon Schaech (Prom Night, Angels Fall), Ashley Scott ("Jericho"), Melanie Nicholls-King ("The Wire") and Eric Keenleyside ("Traveler").
Simply put, damned near every single episode comes in at either the average or below average mark with the exception of Fessenden's "Skin & Bones". One good episode does not a series make. Maybe it's because the breaks for commercials are there, eliminating what little tension there is. But then what of older TV shows like Tales from the Darkside, et al? They managed quite a few good episodes. Maybe it was the horrid B-grade CGI that snapped you out of every scene it's used in. Or maybe, just maybe, it's the ridiculous theme song. Either way the whole affair seems kind of stamped out.
Then there's the packaging. While it looks good in photos, when you have it in your hands, it's kind of laughable. The tombstone and skeleton are fashioned from really thin plastic. The kind you'd find at 99 Cent party stores. The DVD's (all flipper discs) are stacked on top of each other (begging to be scratched) with only a tiny loose foam ring separating the two sides of the package. Wow, really?
Then there are the special features. Each episode has a short interview with the director. Joy.
Yep, suffice it to say that even a year later ... Fear Itsucks.

Scar tissueThe muscle can tear and heal like magic
Stronger than ever before,
I ponder the fact and I think it's tragic,
The mind cannot be restored.
Once attacked; damaged, broken, despaired,
Like cancer, can spread to the soul.
So complicated yet can't be repaired,
It threatens to swallow you whole.
No pills, no plasters, surgery, casts.
And it cannot heal on its own.
So how to protect it I must ask,
To a danger of which we're all prone?
Sin and tragedy, suffering, pain.
We must take the bad with the good.
And since we are human I question again,
Because I've never quite understood.
Resisting corruption, you'd have to be blind.
Wear a shield for the rest of your life.
Or Strengthen and train, this muscle, your mind.
Protect it from tragedy's knife.
Beware over-lifting for it could still tear,
This burden of life is no sport.
When you feel yourself buckle and you cannot bear,
Reach out and ask for support.
Bipolar FlawsA poem for a guy is not the coolest thing
Sadly, it's the only thought I could hope to bring
Nothing else could remotely convey
All the things I wanted to say
Then, I thought the best romantic stunt
Would be writing rhyming words and being incredibly . . . Blunt
This poem is not filled with flirt, hair flips, and flatter
I will not hand you my heart on a silver platter
Since, I do not believe in complimenting your face
This poem will be a different case
You are heartless, disturbed, prideful, psychotic
Mindless, hateful, bad looking, neurotic
Desperate to hit it, never going to get it
lacking wit, prone to a hissy fit, and emotionally unfit
You have paranoia, prejudice, bad breath, mental simplicity
Sightless thoughts, Satan's number, evil eyes, vocal toxicity
Seeing you, my irritation is juiced
. . . .
Knowing you, a new man is introduced
Dense as rocks, yet deep as the sea
Insanity's patient who's calm as can be
Pitch black heart, filled with bright stars
Got off yo
I am weakI am weak because
I can't swim,
I can't fly.
I can't speak.
Because I am afraid of the
outside world.
I am weak because
I cry,
I let my emotions in my way,
I don't stand up,
I just die.
I am weak because,
when I was called a
dumb birthday slut,
I just cried.
Because when I was bullied,
I just kept silent.
When I was thought of
having a disease,
suicide was my only thought.
But at the end I realised
that I am not weak,
I am strong.
I was strong enough to
not commit suicide,
to blossom from my cuts,
to speak for my own.
Because I was strong enough
to realise that no matter
I will always be weak.
The Girl with the Glass HeartHe pitied the girl with the glass heart
for she was not made of stone like him.
He thought, "her poor, battered heart must be so broken
that its shards cut her from within.
She must wish she was not so fragile,
that she was unbreakable like me."
Then one day she said to him,
"my love, how I wish you were free.
I pity you and your marble heart,
carved of the hardest stone,
So unmovable by anything—
you must be so alone."
Shocked, he argued, "but you must feel such pain
in that frail, little heart,
and I know nothing of sorrow
for I have remained apart."
Eyes and voice soft, she persisted,
Stubborn and silent, he listened:
"I know your black, granite heart is beating,
but I realize you just survive;
a statue standing still so long
can't know what it means to be alive.
You pity me for my
If friends were flowersIf friends were flowers
If friends were flowers
Then I'd pick you
Because you're the most beautiful
So bold so true
Just my kind
And my beloved too
If friends were flowers
Then I'd choose you
To put in a vase
Inside my room
Just on the windowsill
So the sunlight can reach you too
If friends were flowers
Then I'd take care of you
Because somehow when you're around
The sky is always blue
And it's so rare to find one
Other than you
If friends were flowers
In a valley including you
You will stand out the most
Even from a bird's eye view
Your scent spreads everywhere
And when it reaches me…
I know it's you
Ocean EyesHer voice held all the loneliness
Of the angry, forlorn sea
And the salt still clung to her skin
Long after she'd washed it clean.
She always smelled of summer,
Like heavy rain and heavy smoke,
She was working as a waitress
Just for cigarettes and coke.
Her long hair tumbled down her back
Like a pitch-black waterfall,
With a face so lovely she could have been
a once-perfect porcelain doll.
I'd asked her once to marry me,
She only smiled bitterly,
Then she turned away from my life
And was gone into the sea.
She told me that she'd been running
But she never made it far,
'Just somewhere I could still see the water
And look up at the stars.
There are just some things you can't hide from
And running only ever gets you just so far.'
Her heart was hollow and faded out
By the dreams that wouldn't form;
Her eyes were deep with too many secrets,
The colour of a storm.
The day she washed up on the sand
The salt was clinging to her skin
And her face was pa

Observer Updates 06.24.10
Date: June 24, 2010
by: The Observer Staff
+ Park proposal removed from consideration
After an outcry from members of the Harbor Acres and Bay Point Park neighborhoods, the Parks, Recreation and Environmental Protection Board has taken the proposal for a park at 1150 S. Orange Ave. off the table.
Members of the Hudson Bayou neighborhood requested a park be placed on that property, which they called a wetlands.
The property is a vacant residential lot that sits at the confluence of the three neighborhoods, but is located within the Harbor Acres boundary.
Harbor Acres and Bay Point Park residents were not informed of the park application and complained to city officials.
The parks board responded by removing the application from consideration.
+ Snowy plover nests thrive on Siesta Key
After it discovered last month that people had disturbed two snowy plover nests on Siesta Key, the county closed beach access No. 7 where the nests were found.
One month later, a third nest has been found and three chicks have hatched. Two are 1-month-old and the third is only 1 week old.
Volunteers are manning the beach-access site to prevent people from walking through.
+ The Legacy Trail trestle nears completion
The trestle over Dona Bay, in Nokomis, that connects the northern and southern portions of The Legacy Trail is expected to open by the end of next month.
Currently 85% complete, the railing and other decorative features are the only components that remain to be installed.
The new 393-foot-long pedestrian trestle replaces a wooden train trestle that was closed to the public.
Its 12-foot vertical clearance will allow small boats to pass underneath, while walkers, joggers and bicyclists cross the bay overhead.
An official ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held in September.

As usual, Apple is keeping the iPhone rumor mills working at a fast and furious pace.

We have probably all been there at one point or another, where Google Adsense just started to irritate you. Whether from scrubbing your earnings or not counting clicks, some internet marketers believe we have grown far too reliant on the all mighty Google. While I still use Google Adsense for product-based websites, I have also looked around for alternatives that could suit the general internet marketers needs.
Top 7 Google Adsense Alternatives:
In the following list, I will show you guys the alternatives that I would use, instead of using Google Adsense (if I had to). I mean, I just recently got somewhat frustrated when an ad voucher I received was marked invalid as of their recent changes to their system that happened a few days ago.
In my opinion though and despite the mess that Google sometimes makes during its panda updates (or whatever fuzzy creature it'll come up with next), Google is infact the leading ad publisher out there. However, if for some reason you just cannot live with Google any longer (or are unable due to some restriction), then check out the following sites.
1) Bidvertiser
Originally I would have said that Adbrite could have been number one, but ever since their layout changeover a few years back it just isn't the same. Bidvertiser is one of the older networks that lets publishers and advertisers work together on a closer level. Advertisers can look through the sites available on bid on them for the spots. This is personally a great way to go and payouts are at $10 which makes it quite nice for those just starting out.
2) Adbrite
The once fabled place for me to purchase cheap clicks is still a great place to purchase clicks. Despite my opinions on their new layout and feel, Adbrite has been around for the longest time and has a very large following of both publishers and advertisers. You wont go wrong with Adbrite, as a Google Adsense alternative.
3) Chitika
While this is not a standard type of ad displaying company, Chitika is one of the leading contextual advertisers out there with great value and a long running. The company is versatile and targeted when it comes to choosing local focused ads to further push some extra CTR.
4) Clicksor
Clicksor is a nice supplement and alternative to Adsense when it comes to earning additional income. It allows publishers to earn income by letting visitors underline text to view targeted ads/links on their website. Clicksor is one of the bigger ad networks out there, and depending on your niche, this could be a big money maker for you.
5) Infolinks
Infolinks is one of the biggest advertising competitors to Google Adsense and has been around for quite some time. It offers robust intext advertising that could make you quite a bit of money if youa re in the right niche. Signing up for infolinks is easy and usually only takes a day for you to get approved.
6) eClickz
eClickz really tries to push the bar by offering some interesting new ways to monetize your site. Some of the ways including things like monetizing xml feeds, domain parking, contextual ads, and more. If you need something more than your traditional ads or contextual link platforms, then perhaps you should take a look at this as a potential Google Adsense alternative.
7) Sitescout
While this site isn't very big, I must include this gem as a Google Adsense alternative for various reasons. From the publisher stand point, you have advertisers bid on your CPM-based ad spots based on the performance and CTR of your ad areas. Depending on your type of website, CPM can be very valuable for a publisher. From an advertisers point of view, this is a CPM network with a lot of great potential deals that you could utilize in order to make some serious money (as these arent plagued with those who try to abuse adwords/adcenter vouchers).

Who Ordered the Torture of Abu Zubaydah?
Continued from previous page
In his statement to the ICRC, Zubaydah explained how, even before the waterboarding began, he was strapped naked to a chair for several weeks in a cell that was "air-conditioned and very cold," deprived of food, subjected to extreme sleep deprivation for two to three weeks -- partly by means of loud music or incessant noise, and partly because, "If I started to fall asleep one of the guards would come and spray water in my face" -- and, for the rest of the time, until the waterboarding began, was subjected to further sleep deprivation, and kept in a state of perpetual fear.
This array of techniques undoubtedly appears less dramatic than the "real torturing" that followed (in which the waterboarding was accompanied by physical brutality, hooding, the daily shaving of his hair and beard, and confinement in small boxes), but, again, it is critical to try to imagine what two to three weeks of chronic sleep deprivation actually means, and to recall that, by the time Steven G. Bradbury, the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, revised the approval for torture techniques in May 2005, it was noted that it was only considered acceptable to subject a prisoner to 180 hours (seven and a half days) of sleep deprivation.
To understand how torture came to be used before it was officially approved, we need to return to the New York Times article of September 2006, which explained how, according to accounts by three former intelligence officials, the CIA "understood that the legal foundation for its role had been spelled out in a sweeping classified directive" signed by President Bush on September 17, 2001, which authorized the agency "to capture, detain and interrogate terrorism suspects."
Significantly, this "memorandum of notification" did not spell out specific guidelines for interrogations, but as later research, and the latest reports have confirmed, the directive led to focused efforts by the CIA, and by William J. Haynes II, the Pentagon's General Counsel (and a protégé of Dick Cheney), to contact foreign governments for advice on harsh interrogation techniques, and to begin a relationship with a number of individuals involved in the Joint Personnel Recovery Program (JPRA), the body responsible for administering the SERE program (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape), which is taught at U.S. military schools.
Designed to teach military personnel how to resist interrogation if captured by a hostile enemy, the SERE program uses outlawed techniques derived from techniques used on captured U.S. soldiers during the Korean War to elicit deliberately false confessions, and includes, as the Senate Committee report explained, "stripping detainees of their clothing, placing them in stress positions, putting hoods over their heads, disrupting their sleep, treating them like animals, subjecting them to loud music and flashing lights, and exposing them to extreme temperatures." In some circumstances, the techniques also include waterboarding, and, as numerous sources -- including the recently released reports and memos -- have revealed over the last few years, the reverse-engineering of the SERE techniques constituted the bedrock of the administration's interrogation program, from Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantánamo to the secret dungeons of the CIA.
As we also know, from the pioneering research conducted by Jane Mayer, by the time that the CIA took over Zubaydah's interrogation from the FBI, in April 2002, the team included Dr. David Mitchell, a retired Air Force SERE psychologist. Thanks to the detailed timeline provided by the Senate Committee, we now know that it was Haynes who first inquired about the applicability of the SERE program to the interrogation of prisoners in December 2001, and we also know that, in April 2002, while "experienced intelligence officers were making recommendations to improve intelligence collection" -- which, noticeably, included an assessment by Col. Stuart A. Herrington, a retired Army intelligence officer, that a regime based solely on punishment "detracts from the flexibility that debriefers require to accomplish their mission" -- "JPRA officials with no training or experience were working on their own exploitation plan," and a colleague of Mitchell's, Bruce Jessen, a senior SERE psychologist, was providing recommendations for JPRA involvement in the "exploitation of select al-Qaeda detainees" in an "exploitation facility" to be established especially for the purpose -- which, presumably, turned out to be the secret dungeon provided by the Thai government.

Miss California Carrie Prejean, whose comments about gay marriage set off a firestorm, will keep her crown, Donald Trump announced today.
The controversy began nearly a month ago, when Prejean was asked about her views on same-sex marriage during the nationally televised Miss USA pageant. Although she said she believed people were entitled to do as they liked, she said marriage should only be recognized as an institution between a man and a woman.
Trump said he had no problem with Prejean's comments. "She gave a very honest answer when asked a tough question," he said at a New York press conference with Prejean sitting next to him. "It was the same answer the president of the United States gave... She has to be commended."
Trump also said he reviewed semi-nude photos of Prejean that have surfaced in recent days and concluded they should not disqualify her. "We are in the 21st century," said Trump, who owns the pageant. "We have determined that the pictures taken were fine."
Trump said Prejean and California pageant officials and Prejean have met in the last few hours and "are getting along very well."
For her part, Prejean attacked some of her critics as spreading "hateful" rumors about her and said she was simply standing up for her beliefs.
[Updated at 9:15 a.m.: She singled out Perez Hilton, the Hollywood blogger and pageant judge who asked her the gay marraige question. She accused Hilton, a gay right activist, of having a "hidden personal agenda" and that he knew the question would be "politcally charged."
She also said she's received much support from stranger for her outspoke views and said the situation shows the importances of speaking out.
"I stated my honest belief," she said.]
But pageant officials said that when Prejean became the darling of the anti-same-sex-marriage movement, she began shirking her duties as Miss California. They say she missed appearances, including the filming of a public service announcement the pageant put together featuring former and current Miss USA, Miss California and Miss California Teen winners speaking about the beauty and diversity of the people of California. Organizers said she was generally unreachable by pageant officials -- technically a breach of her contract, they said.
Prejean's backers insist she is being unfairly vilified by pageant organizers for a viewpoint that is far from extreme (California voters last year approved Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage).
Officials with the National Organization for Marriage say Prejean is not a paid spokeswoman. She did attend the Washington, D.C., news conference at which the group unveiled the ad featuring her Miss USA pageant clip. And she lent her voice to a recorded call the organization used to thank supporters and solicit contributions.
"Carrie has always been a spokesperson for herself. She believes what we believe," said Brian Brown, the group's executive director. "We're proud of her. . . . She's standing up for marriage and against the bullying we heard at this press conference today."
Miss California will keep title, Trump decides

New site offers Civil War data for Tennessee
The sourcebook chronicles the military, economic, social and political history associated with the Civil War in Tennessee. Information in the sourcebook comes from diaries, period newspapers, official Civil War records, ship deck logs, letters and historical articles. The sourcebook compiles more than 7,000 entries into an easy-to-access documentary collection and provides narration.
Work on the Tennessee Civil War Sourcebook began in 1995, when Tennessee Historical Commission Public Historian James B. Jones Jr. noticed discrepancies in different publications regarding the number of battles that took place in Tennessee during the Civil War and the authors' failure to provide documentation as to the numbers presented. Since that time, Jones has conducted a historical audit to collect and more thoroughly document information about combat and other aspects of the Civil War in Tennessee from a variety of sources.

The former Ulster and Ireland star led the province to Heineken Cup glory in 1999.
After retiring he became a key part of the Ulster management team, taking up the role of Operation Director, before becoming Director of Rugby four years ago.
He helped persuade a number of top stars, including Ruan Pienaar, to come to Ravenhill.
Humphreys will join departing Ulster and All Blacks prop John Afoa at Kingsholm.
"This was a really difficult decision for me personally but having received a direct approach from Gloucester, I have now chosen to accept an offer to become their Director of Rugby. It is, I believe, the right move for me at this stage of my career," Humphreys said.
"I would like to thank the supporters and all those involved in Ulster Rugby over more than two decades who have lent me support, encouragement and wisdom."
We are disappointed with the decision but respect David's decision to leave Ulster.Ulster Rugby Chief Executive Shane Logan

Humphreys added: "There is no doubt that the province will continue to move forward. It has a fantastic stadium, the best supporters and a wealth of great talent coming through. Ulster Rugby will be a force within rugby for many years to come."
Chief Executive of Ulster Rugby, Shane Logan, said: "I would like to wish David every success with Gloucester and to thank him for the outstanding contribution that he has made to Ulster Rugby.
"As Director of Rugby, David has helped to grow the game at all levels - there are more people playing rugby in the Province than ever before, we have successful age-grade sides, we have a strong Academy and we now have a senior squad that can beat the best in Europe.
"We do know we already have the structures in place to ensure we have success in the long term.
"Ulster Rugby will now begin the process of recruiting a new Director of Rugby and we look forward to building on the progress that the Province has made in recent years."

Plus, each game featured a few unlockable potatoes. We'll come back to those secret spuds in a moment.After fans decoded the entire enigmatic riddleverse -- which involved deciphering Morse code, archiving deleted blog posts and de-encrypting coded audio files -- they ended up on the website GLaDOS@Home. Here, the series' menacing AI superbitch GLaDOS promised to unlock Portal 2 early if enough gamers dedicated their CPUs to playing indie games.The site parodies crowdsourced citizen science apps like Folding@Home -- which lets you lend your console's monster nine-cell microprocessor to researchers studying diseases such as cancer -- and Seti@Home -- which borrows your CPU strength to analyse radio telescope data from space.In the end, Portal 2 came out late 18 April, 2011. Its good for those of us in the UK who would have had to wait until the following Thursday or Friday for the game to unlock, but a rather bitter pill to swallow for gamers in the US who would have been treated to the game a few hours later, regardless of how much time they pumped into firstname.lastname@example.com few upset fans, who spent hours playing games like Audiosurf and Amnesia for the early release, have taken to forums to complain about the negligible reward offered for their time. The vast majority, of course, are too busy playing Portal 2.Still, while the ARG's outcome might have been a little anticlimatic, there were a few surprises in store on the morning of release. If you unlocked the 36 potatoes that were bundled in the indie games before Portal 2 came out, you were treated to a goodie bag of Valve games: including Half Life 2 and even Portal 2 itself. Around 1,800 fans took the time to find all the spuds.There's also an unexpected inclusion in the PC and Mac versions of the game: an interactive trailer for JJ Abram's new mystery flick, Super 8. Valve and Paramount remade a clip of the upcoming movie in Portal's Source engine, letting players survey a train's wreckage before being whisked to the film's official site. Whether you took part in the ARG and GLaDOS@Home or not, Portal 2 is now available to download on Steam. It'll hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later this week.

What makes this Vermilion River Country you might ask? It is our treasure of beautiful rivers that traverse our county supplying us with water, recreation, and wildlife while draining our farmland and countryside.
Few areas in Illinois are as blessed as we are when it comes to clean and beautiful rivers all running swiftly toward the Wabash River which lies just across our eastern border. Not only do we have five wonderful rivers but we host the only designated National Scenic River, the Middle Fork.
Of all the rivers in Illinois, the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River was chosen above river such as the Kankakee and Illinois to be a Designated Scenic River.
The Middle Fork drains 450 square miles of land. Beginning at the Big Four Ditch northeast of Paxton, the Middle Fork is about 106 miles in length as it travels through about seven miles of Kennekuk County Park and then proceeds along the western boundary of Kickapoo State Park until it joins with the Salt Fork of the Vermilion River just north of Catlin.
The Middle Fork, known for its scenic beauty cuts through the rock and shale layers that hold the past history of our county, winding like a snake through the parks. The river has a very narrow flood plain so water is channeled into the river making it great for canoeing, kayaking, or wading.
The river can get treacherous, so know the weather and water conditions before entering the Middle Fork.
This beautiful river, along with the Salt Fork, the North Fork and the Big Vermilion will be a topic of interest at a meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday evening at the David S. Palmer Civic Center.
Please come and support your rivers as the City of Danville is considering removing two dams which might adversely affect them.
Bluegill season
starting slowly
Where are the bluegills now one of my readers asked me the other day as he was having a hard time finding them in a pond? Many people are used to finding bluegill on nesting beds or at least beginning to move up on them as spring arrives.
The crazy weather patterns are messing with normal fish patterns; one day it is darn right hot, the next freezing cold. Not only are the fish affected but the mushroom season, which looked like it might be a banner season, is messed up as well.
Many times bluegill are getting ready to nest or at least thinking about it by now. Look for them deeper off the bedding areas, maybe as deep as six to eight feet deep. If a bluegill is going to bite, it will be hard for it not to go after a bee moth, the best of all bluegill baits.
Fish bee moth along with the good old night crawler on a plain hook or attached to a tube jig. Fish them deeper and slower than normal especially on a cold day. You can fish them with a bobber or tight line the baits which is how I prefer to fish them.
The bluegills are there they just aren't where you might think they would be this time of the year.
The only reports of mushrooms I've gotten is a few gray sponge that are being found. I've not gotten a report of a big mess yet but a couple of warm days will change that.

Opening of the Academic Year
Wageningen UR annually celebrates the Opening of the Academic Year in style. At this public event, in the first week of September, renowned speakers address current issues concerning food, health and the environment.
Opening Academic Year 2014/2015
On Monday 1 September 2014 Wageningen UR will celebrate the Opening of its Academic Year 2014/2015. This year, the programme will include an address by Professor Louise Fresco, the new Chair of the Executive Board, as well as contributions by students and researchers.
"Dutch food production methods are in the international spotlight. Thanks to firm scientific and technical foundations, progress in food production has been made almost everywhere in the world. But the strategy has not always been devoid of criticism. Society is making demands in the areas of animal welfare, health, taste and sustainability. New knowledge and expertise are needed to deal with these issues. We need new strategies that will evoke social and political support. There is a growing tendency to see scientific research as 'just another opinion', despite science being an essential step along the path towards sustainable production systems.
In my first formal appearance as President of Wageningen UR, at the opening of the Academic Year I will give my views on these challenges. As I stated at the 200th anniversary celebration of the Swedish Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences: 'It is now our task to respond. To new generations, new challenges and new expectations; to promote an understanding of what options exist for the future of our food production'."
Prof. dr. ir. Louise O. Fresco
The Opening of the Academic Year will take place in the Orion building in the afternoon, starting at 3.30 pm.
|Welcoming reception and registration

Graft: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called for an ethics investigation of Rep. Anthony Weiner for possibly misusing official resources. But what about the probe of Rep. Maxine Waters for abusing her power?
The ethics trial of Waters, accused of swinging millions in federal bailout cash to her husband's ailing bank, was set to begin last November.
But the Democrat leadership has delayed Waters' trial by blocking subpoenas and firing the lead lawyer working on the two-year investigation. Also, the ranking Democrat on the House Ethics panel reportedly is holding up the hiring of a new staff director.
In the long stall, we've learned that Waters' chief of staff heavily lobbied bank examiners, who according to internal emails were livid about the intervention.
Pressure from Waters' office resulted in a $12 million federal loan for OneUnited Bank and a unique exemption from the FDIC's accounting rules. One FDIC examiner called it a "travesty of justice."
Waters claims her top aide didn't know her spouse was involved with the bank, even though the aide is also her grandson.
At the time, her husband owned OneUnited stock worth more than $350,000 — a stake that would have been worthless without the bailout.
He'd also served on the board with OneUnited's CEO, a major Waters donor who, according to examiners, ran the minority-owned bank into the ground through his lavish spending and risky investments.
Of the 700 banks receiving TARP funds, OneUnited was the weakest, and it has yet to pay back the loan.
In 2007, according to the Los Angeles Times, OneUnited CEO Kevin Cohee was arrested for cocaine possession. The next year, FDIC cited the bank for "unsafe banking practices," and ordered it to cease and desist.
As her hubby's shares dwindled in value, Waters stepped in. A senior House Financial Services Committee member, she arranged an emergency meeting in 2008 between Cohee and top Treasury officials, who weren't aware of her personal conflict of interest (which she never disclosed).
Despite its reckless record, OneUnited wound up with taxpayer bailout cash intended for sound banks.
While under investigation, Waters got a provision added to the Dodd-Frank Act exempting minority owned banks from the new oversight.
She remains ranking member of a banking subcommittee and chief deputy minority whip in the House. Who will hold her to account?

From the Publisher"Elster's jeweler's eye has seen into the hidden intricacies and profundities of Tocqueville the political psychologist and comparative social historian. A sumptuous, stringent and path-breaking book."
-Stephen Holmes, New York University School of Law
"The long battle over the thought of one of the nineteenth century's most enigmatic figures continues here with the publication of Jon Elster's Alexis de Tocqueville, the First Social Scientist. With characteristic care and incisiveness, Elster explores insights embedded in Tocqueville great works, Democracy in America and The Ancien Régime and the Revolution, with a view to the question: does social science begin here? This book lays the groundwork for what ought to be an ongoing conversation among social scientists intent on exploring the origins of their field. No serious readers of Tocqueville will return to his writings without Elster's question in the back of their minds."
-Joshua Mitchell, Georgetown University
"Apart for his own contributions to social theorizing, Elster is famous for his skills of 'making sense' of the work of classical writers in social thought. In this book, he mines the plentiful repository of de Tocqueville's Democracy in America and Ancien Regime. The author finds, apart from limited instances of 'elusive', 'muddled', and 'extravagant' rhetoric, an amazing number of original and fine-grained causal mechanisms that Tocqueville pioneered to employ in his effort to explain social phenomena and change. Elster's method of 'extracting', 'reconstructing', and 'decoding' through sophisticated interrogation the French democratic aristocrat's writings brings to light a number of 'exportable' causal mechanisms. They can enrich the toolbox of today's social scientists. In the process, the book's provocative title becomes ever more plausible."
-Claus Offe, Hertie School of Governance, Berlin
"In this remarkable book, Jon Elster makes Tocqueville's conceptual system a critical part of a large intellectual project. Dubbing Tocqueville the 'first' social scientist, Elster focuses on how he thought rather than on what he found. He brilliantly explains Tocqueville's seemingly contradictory formulations and ambiguities of language as iterations in search of causal linkages. We can profitably use Elster's Tocqueville for making sense of our own social state."
-Olivier Zunz, University of Virginia

Justin Garner - Love You Long Time
Artist: Justin Garner
Producer: Kenna Okoye
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 12 total votes )
When Stanley Kubrick and company were writing Full Metal Jacket, I doubt they were working under the assumption that (arguably) the film's most lasting mark on pop culture would come courtesy of walk-on character "Da Nang Hooker," who propositions a U.S. Marine by announcing, "Me so horny, me Love You Long Time." Famously flipped by 2 Live Crew and Sir Mix-a-Lot, that immortal line gets put to an unusually seductive use on this cut, the latest promo single from Justin Garner. Backed by Kenna Okoye's time-tested chord progression and handclap-driven percussion rhythm, the rising soul star makes his most direct assault on pop-accustomed eardrums to date, exhibiting some characteristically impressive vocal chops as he lets a special girl know exactly what's gonna happen if she comes 'round his way. (And ladies will be happy to hear that, unlike the character he's quoting, he won't even be charging for his services.) Will this tunefully seductive selection be Garner's ticket to Hitsville? You tell me. Whatever your verdict, you can keep it locked to you-know-where for all the latest from this talented up-and-comer.

Photos » Cadets Raise Funds with Flight for Life
Rebecca Howgate and Josh Woodland take part in the sixth annual Flight for Life at Kildonan Place Shopping Centre over the weekend. The three-day fundraiser saw cadets step into the "Dream Flyer" simulator and take a mock flight from St. John's, Newfoundland to Victoria, British Columbia. The goal of the project was to collect one dollar for every mile flown for the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. The event was put on by the 176 Boeing of the Canada Royal Canadian Air Cadet squadron. (HOWARD WONG / FOR CHRISD.CA)

Tifton- Tift County High School social worker Janelle Taylor is collecting used formal dresses and accessories for an annual prom dress drive.
Donated dresses will be given to students who can't afford to buy their own formal wear.
"It's gratifying. you know that you're helping a girl to achieve some memories that will help her to remember the fun times of high school. Every girl deserves the opportunity to go to her high school prom," says Taylor.
The Tift County high school prom is on April 16th, so you can still make donations. The dresses must be dry cleaned and can be any style, color, and size.
