Paralympian Sophie Christiansen awards prizes at The Roche School sports day
Updated 5:05pm Monday 23rd June 2014 in News By Louisa Clarence-Smith, Reporter
Paralympian Sophie Christiansen OBE was on hand at a primary school sports day to award prizes to budding athletes.
Children at The Roche School, an independent primary in Barn Elms, were kept active all day on Friday with running races, piggy-back rides and themed obstacle courses.
Parents also joined the competition with a fiercely-fought dads' tug of war and a mums' relay race.
Headteacher Vania Adams said: "It was wonderful to have Sophie handing out awards on Sports Day because she represents the fact that life is full of possibilities for everyone.
"She is gifted both in terms of sport and academically but it hasn't always been easy for her and so our children have learned about the value of tenacity and determination as well as talent."
The gold medal winning equestrian was raising money to get more people with disabilities into sport.

The Rube Goldberg Machine Contest (RGMC) is an annual international competition that challenges teams of students from middle school to college age to compete in building the most elaborate and hilarious Rube Goldberg Machine.
A Rube Goldberg Machine is an overly complex contraption, designed with humor and a narrative, to accomplish a simple task.
The 2015 Task is: SHINE A SHOE
The RGMC is STEM and STEAM friendly, and Teams and their machines are judged on a range of criteria from absurd complexity, reliability, team chemistry, creativity, humor and story-telling -- along with the successful achievement of the task at hand.
Dating back over 60 years, the contest's namesake is the late American Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, humorist and inventor, Reuben Lucius Goldberg, who specialized in drawing whimsical machines with every-day objects that performed a seemingly simple task.
Goldberg's legacy lives on through the contests -- as students nationwide build crazy machines that complete the annual task, all in the spirit of Rube's illustrations.

Bob Jones' Dream
by Bob Jones
March 19, 2011
March 19, 2011
In a dream today on March 19th, I saw the Father was waiting for the Church to lay a petition before Him so He could grant mercy to Japan and also to the United States. For the mercy we show Japan will be shown to us during the time of our need.
I saw that the next six months were critical, and He's waiting for the Church to lay this petition before Him so He can begin to show grace. We need to be in continual prayer and lay petitions before Him. The next six months is a very dangerous time and only the Father has the answer. The only way to Him is through the Son Jesus Christ.

what now?
fingers prised from their grip
on the slippery slope of selfbelief
a backward slide
a tiny word no bigger than a seed
becomes a mountain of doubt
a pain too big to hold
lies within
seeking reassurance
without the love that's promised
the future cannot be
words so small
light the fires of no worth
and fuel the thoughts
to extinguish the soul
a burden sucking leech-like
on the goodness in you
thoughts come that you deserve
so much more than this
my parting will be quiet
if only you would let me go
there would never be a need
for you to know anything
but my love for you
no harsh words or act
just peace and calm
an ingested fugue
that pulls me down
to sleep forever
"You don't sit down and write a wish list about the person you are going to fall violently in love with. It just doesn't work like that." - Stephen Fry

Women's basketball faces North Florida in SunTrust River City Rumble on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Jan. 17, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
Complete Release in PDF Format
After winning its eighth consecutive game, the JU women's basketball team will continue its four-game road trip but won't have to go very far as the squad faces North Florida in the SunTrust River City Rumble.
The Dolphins (14-3, 4-0), off to their best start in program history and conference play, will face the Ospreys (8-8, 3-1) on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the UNF Arena.The contest, which is the first of a scheduled doubleheader with the JU men's team, can be seen live on www.judolphins.com as part of ASun.TV.
JU leads the all-time series against UNF, 3-1, including a season sweep last season. The Dolphins are 1-1 at UNF Arena.
JU earns vote in USA Today/ESPN Poll
At a school that has enjoyed many years of national recognition and success with its men's basketball program (nine postseason appearances, including a trip to the national title game in 1970), the Dolphin women's program is beginning to enjoy its own success in only three and a half years under the guidance of head coach Jill Dunn.
JU ranks among nation's best at home
JU is currently in the midst of a 17-game home winning streak which continued with a 74-60 win over Stetson on Jan. 7 at Swisher Gymnasium. Included in the winning streak is a 4-0 record at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. JU also finished the 2007 calender year undefeated at home (14-0).
JU's last loss was a 73-69 decision against Niagara at Swisher Gymnasium on Dec. 18, 2006. Since the beginning of the 2006-07 campaign, the Dolphins are 18-1 at home.
The Dolphins' 17-game streak has earned them a spot on the national home winning streak list as JU currently ranks second. The longest home streak is owned by Duke (22) after Texas A&M fell to Baylor on Jan. 11.
Dolphins streaking
Omoite sets JU career assist mark
At the center of the madness is the maturity and calming presence of junior point guard Regina Omoite. The Dolphins' floor general has shown tremendous poise to pull in the reins on the squad's periods of helter skelter play.
Her presence was noticed the most when she missed the first game in her career due to family matters (Florida Gulf Coast) and the Dolphins lost the turnover battle for the first time this season.
Not only has her leadership transcended into the win column, but Omoite has emerged as one of the most efficient point guards in the A-Sun and now she is the most efficient point guard in JU history after surpassing the career assists mark.
In the midst of her first career double- double (10 points and a career-high 10 rebounds), Omoite dished out seven assists to surpass Sheena Carpenter (232, 2003-06) on the all-time list.
This season, she currently leads the conference in assists (70), assist-to-turnover ration (2.19) and is second in assists per game (4.38). She has also finished without a turnover in five games this season.
Her stats have helped the Dolphins lead the conference in assists (246), assists per game (14.47), turnover margin (+5.29) and assist-to-turnover ratio (0.89).
Not only is Omoite one of the most consistent point guards in running an efficient offense but she is arguably the most well-rounded floor leader in the A-Sun with her scoring ability. Offensively, she ranks 11th in the conference with 12.1 ppg and leads the A-Sun in three pointers made (33) and three pointers per contest (2.06), while ranking fourth in 3- point field goal percentage (.344) and sixth in free throw percentage (.811).
Along with her effectiveness on the court, Omoite is constantly on the court. With 39 minutes played at Kennesaw State, she moved into fourth on the all-time list with 2,410 minutes played. She also ranks second in the conference with 572 minutes played and 35.75 minutes per contest.
JU among best in A-Sun
JU leads the conference in scoring margin (+7.8), assists (14.47), turnover margin (+5.29) and assist/turnover ratio (0.89).
The Dolphins also rank second in scoring defense (59.9), field goal percentage (.407), 3-point field goal percentage defense (.284), and steals (10.88) and are third in scoring (67.6) and blocks (3.7).

A huge gorilla was caught on camera running in terror from a goose at a Kansas zoo.
The video was captured last week by zookeepers at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita.
Apparently some Canada geese ended up in the ape's enclosure, and decided they didn't want the lumbering primate around.
It's a good thing for those fowl the gorilla didn't want to pick a fight.

Google and German automaker Audi are teaming up to create an in-car infotainment system that could make checking your phone while driving a thing of the past.
The news will be announced next week at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, according to "people familiar with the matter" who talked with the Wall Street Journal. So why is this a big deal?
Imagine a future where you're racing your Audi through the streets and you get lost. There will be no need to pick up your phone. Instead, you'll just give a voice command to your dashboard, which will bring up navigation software. You will also be able to send an email to your friend telling him you will be late and play your favorite song to cheer you up — all without taking your eyes off of the road or your hands off of the steering wheel.
"There is a very big demand for this kind of technology," Gareth Owen, principal analyst at ABI Research, told NBC News. "It's not just the luxury brands. Mass market cars are also offering connected infotainment systems."
The idea is to give drivers access to a wide-range of apps "similar to those widely available now on Android-powered smartphones," the Wall Street Journal's sources said. A Google spokesperson would not confirm the news, telling NBC News that the company "does not comment on rumor and speculation."
Google could be trying to make waves in the automotive world in response to Apple's "iOS in the Car" program, which it unveiled in June. The partnership with major automakers — including BMW, Honda and Mercedes-Benz — will integrate iOS into dashboards to allow people to ask for directions, make calls, play music, send messages and more. This would be done either through built-in controls or hands- and eyes-free with Siri.
Starting in 2014, around 200,000 cars should be equipped with "iOS in the Car," according to research by Dr. Egil Juliussen, a principal analyst at research firm IHS. By 2020, that number is expected to grow to 24 or 25 million, with 7.5 million of those cars sold in the United States.
Taking into account Google and other companies, the number of cars equipped with similar infotainment systems could hit 60 to 70 percent of the U.S. market in 2020, Juliussen told NBC News.
And while it might seem dangerous to have a smartphone basically built into your car, it could end up being safer than what we have now, Juliussen said.
"The customer wants to use smartphone apps while they're in the car," he said. While it's better to remain completely focused on the road, he said, these systems will limit video and other distracting applications, making them a much better option than using a smartphone.
These systems will only get more advanced in the future, which means they will consume more data. The result? Many cars in the future will be equipped with fast LTE connections, Owen said, allowing for kids to do things like stream cartoons from their phones to backseat displays.
"It's becoming a key element in the car-purchasing decisions," he said. "People want to be connected and use their mobile phones in their cars in the same way they use them in the home or on the street."

Glenn Dorsey and Branden Albert are going to be absent for our first pre-season action against the Chicago Bears, Albert perhaps the entire pre-season.
Can Dorsey come back and continue to develop? Many have said they are less worried about him getting to camp on time and practicing injury-free than Albert.
If Branden Albert misses camp will it give him a mulligan his first NFL season? Albert will get a chance to play regardless of exactly when he comes back from the injury. However, his chances of having an effective year are going down the drain quickly.
Bob Gretz argues Dorsey and Albert's spot can be filled with guys that are under the "do your job" mindset.
I disagree - it's important not to start off a season negatively like this. Especially with younger players it can affect their morale much more.
What do you think - will these injuries be forgotten come November? Or will it start the season with a cloud causing a rippling effect the next 17 weeks?
Updates of the AM practice today will be posted this afternoon.

Was it "generally unjust"? I guess that depends on what you think of as "unjust". I think "unjust" would have been us ignoring two important states during our convention. Yes, they broke the rules. Yes, they deserved to be punished. Today's vote is still punishment; they've been effectively demoted from states to provinces.
Nor do I think that this is all about Hillary, any more than this general election will be all about Obama. This is about healing wounds, and it's about trying to include everyone in the process.
You're not helping, any more than those Clinton "supporters".

Imhotep's Nesmith does it all
- Written by Donald Hunt
- Published in Sports
There are a number of talented high school athletes in the city. There's no question about that. However, there aren't many who have accomplished as much as Shakur Nesmith, Imhotep Charter's all-around athlete.
Nesmith, a 6-foot-4, 186-pound senior, played wide receiver on the school's football team. He has received a scholarship to play football at Temple in the fall. He was one of the Public League's top players.
Nesmith used his height and quickness to help Imhotep Charter captured back-to-back PIAA Class AA state championships. He played with standouts Brandon Austin and Khyree Wooten.
In addition, he led the Public over the Non-Public, 29-22, in the Philadelphia Eagles City All-Star Football Classic two weeks ago at Lincoln Financial Field. But that's not all.
A week ago, he won the 100 meter dash with a time of 11.08 at the District 12 Championship Meet at Northeast High School's Charles Martin Memorial Stadium. He also led Imhotep's 4x100 meter relay team to a first place finish in a time of 43.50. Nesmith will wrap up his scholastic career on Friday, May 25 and Saturday, May 26 at the PIAA state championship meet at Shippensburg University.
"It's been a great year," Nesmith said. "I actually didn't realize it. Then, I was talking to Coach Andre (Noble, head basketball coach) about all the accomplishments. I didn't notice it until he started pointing out all the stuff.
"With basketball, we won the state title. In football, I became the first football player to sign a Division I letter of intent. In track, I won the 100 and the 4x100. He was going over all the things I had done this year."
The list is impressive. Nesmith has moved from one sport to the other. That takes a lot of time and commitment.
"I've been working really hard," Nesmith said. "I've been playing sports and going to school all my life. After football, I played basketball and ran track. I already had my scholarship. But this is my last year. I just wanted to go for it."
That's exactly what Nesmith will be doing this weekend at the state championship meet. He will be competing in two events against some of top sprinters in the state.
"I'm really excited about going up there," he said. "I know a couple guys going up there from different schools that will be running in the states. I'll be running against some great local athletes."
Nesmith feels track and field should help him in football this season. The sprinting should allow him to explode off the line of scrimmage.
"This is going to help me a lot," Nesmith said. "It should help me with my conditioning. I should be able to get my speed up to par. I've been working on my (pass) routes. That was one of the things I needed to work on."
Nesmith will finish the track and field season and continue to work hard down the road. Needless to say, it's been a big year for him.

Four dead in Aurora shootings
Four people have been found dead following a shooting incident that triggered a stand-off with police in Aurora, Colorado, the same town where a man shot dead 12 people in a cinema in July last year.
Report: Picture of the Aurora house where 4 died
Matt Flener, a reporter for Colorado's 9 News, has tweeted a picture of the house where four people, including a gunman, died today:

Fatal Aurora shooting: How events unfolded
- Police entered a residence in Aurora, Colorado, after several hours of failed negotiations with the gunman, who had barricaded himself inside.
- The gunman fired shots at police from a second-storey window before he was killed as SWAT officers stormed the building. It is not yet known if officers shot the suspect or if he shot himself.
- Inside the building officers found three other people shot dead.
- One person inside had escaped and alerted authorities.
- Officials notified neighbours of an emergency around 3:00am local time (10:00am GMT) and evacuated several blocks, Aurora police spokeswoman Cassidee Carlson told KUSA-TV.
The fatal shootings in Aurora come six months after a man shot dead 12 people and wounded 58 more at a cinema in the city.

Albany - Darton College shared a grant with Albany State University to encourage minority and non-traditional students to succeed in the classroom.
A $900,000 Minority and Non-traditional Student Congressional Award funded Darton's ACE program.
ASU used a portion of that grant to form a Black Male Initiative. Students who participated in these programs have improved in school. Darton College student, Matt Hardwick, says, "We were the first, definitely a little pressure, but they've been behind us the whole way to help us achieve. I tell you, I'm currently carrying a 4.0 GPA."
The ACE Fellowship covers tuition, fees, books and offers tutoring and mentoring.
ASU has noticed their largest-ever increase in SAT scores for one of their Black Male Initiative programs.

Douglas Laboratories® is proud to announce that
Ultra Preventive® X now contains Metafolin®, a
patented, natural form of (6S) 5-
methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as well as
1,000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving. 5-MTHF is
the naturally occurring, predominant form of
folate commonly found in cells and is essential
for overall health, as it participates as a cofactor
in a reaction that involves the remethylation of
homocysteine to methionine. Unlike synthetic
folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the
body, without the need for an additional
conversion via the enzyme (5,10-
methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)).
In certain populations, the body's ability to
convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this
enzyme may be compromised due to genetic
differences. Metafolin® contains only the S
isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be
the only form of folate to be able to cross the
blood-brain barrier.
Additional vitamin D3 (also known as
cholecalciferol) has been added to this formula
as numerous scientists now feel that
supplementation with vitamin D at levels greater
than previously thought necessary is critical to
helping maintain overall health.
Studies show that a high percentage of adults in
North America and other developed areas eat
less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or
more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and
proper balance of these nutrients are needed
not only for maintaining good health, but also for
the dietary management of the body's structure
as well as the optimum functioning of its various
systems, including the immune and
gastrointestinal systems.
Ultra Preventive® X has been carefully
developed to contain the right proportions of
vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other
nutrients without danger of toxic build-up or
other side effects. Each ingredient is selected in
consideration of its absorbability, competitive
relationship with other nutrients, allergenic
potential, and long-term safety. Certain nutrients
such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and
B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency
amounts because of the vital roles they play in
antioxidant protection, energy production, the
maintenance of healthy blood cells, the nervous
system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals
and trace elements are provided in their safest
and most bioavailable forms.
Ultra Preventive® X's herbal green food base
also includes important phytonutrients. Glutenfree
grasses and several varieties of microalgae
supply chlorophyll, carotenes, B-vitamins, and
trace elements. Cruciferous vegetables, broccoli
and cauliflower, offer protective sulforophane
compounds known for their ability to induce
protective phase 2 detoxifying enzymes.
Ultra Preventive® X tablets may be a useful
dietary supplement for those who wish to
consume the essential nutrients for health.

Attorney for jailed Texas writer asks appeals court to grant bond
By The Associated Press
Printer-friendly page
HOUSTON The attorney for a novice crime writer jailed for refusing to surrender her interviews for a book about a Houston society murder asked an appeals court yesterday to release her on no more than $5,000 bond.
Vanessa Leggett, 33, has been jailed since July 20 when a judge found her in contempt of court for refusing to turn over her notes and interviews related to the 1997 shooting death of Doris Angleton.
Leggett claimed First Amendment press protections in refusing to turn over the interviews.
"Neither the prosecutor nor the court anticipated the lengthy incarceration of Ms. Leggett while her appeal was pending," attorney Mike DeGeurin wrote in the motion filed yesterday with the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
"Now that Ms. Leggett's appeal is no longer expedited, she should be released on bond while her case is properly litigated in the appellate courts," the attorney wrote. "Surely the Government has made its point that it can incarcerate for months journalists who resist global, nonspecific discovery that require disclosure of confidential sources through a grand jury subpoena without demonstration of a need for the information."
In August, a three-member panel from the appeals court upheld the district court's contempt ruling and decision to jail Leggett without bond. The panel said the 5th Circuit takes a narrow view of the journalist's privilege in criminal cases, particularly in grand
jury proceedings.
Leggett's attorney has requested that the full court hear his client's appeal. The court has not ruled on DeGeurin's request.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Terry Clark said he has opposed the request for bond.
Leggett could be held for up to 18 months or for length of time the grand jury investigating millionaire former bookie Robert Angleton remains in place. Federal investigators began looking into Angleton after a state court acquitted him in 1998 of hiring his brother to murder his wife. The federal grand jury's term, which was to expire Oct. 12, has been extended through January.
"The government has admitted that their subpoena is merely a 'fishing expedition,'" DeGeurin wrote in the bond motion. "Yet their speculative search for information has resulted in Ms. Leggett being held in custody more than twice as long as any other journalist in United States history."
The U.S. Department of Justice has declined to comment on the case because it remains under investigation.
Prosecutors contend Leggett is not a journalist and therefore does not fall under the First Amendment's press protections.

Marion Crane is a fictional character from the 1960 film Psycho, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Unhappy in her relationship with her boyfriend, a divorcee named Sam Loomis (John Gavin), Marion rejects his idea to take the afternoon off and rushes back to her storefront real estate office. Her boss, Mr. Lowery, arrives shortly afterward with Tom Cassidy (Frank Albertson), a wealthy customer who gives her $40,000 to put in the bank for him. However, instead of going to the bank, Marion impulsively goes on the run with the money. She turns off the main road without realizing it, and arrives at the Bates Motel and checks in with the proprietor, Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), who shyly invites her to have dinner with him. After wrapping the remaining money inside a newspaper, Marion overhears a heated argument between Norman and his "mother" about letting Marion into the house.
During dinner, Marion listens to Norman's tale of being trapped by his obligation to his mentally ill mother, and realizes that she, too, is stuck in a "private trap", and can only escape it by taking responsibility for stealing the money. She gently suggests to Norman that he put his mother in a mental hospital, which he heatedly refuses to do. She bids him goodnight, and returns to her room. There, she undresses while Norman watches through a peephole hidden in the wall of his office. Resolving to make amends to her employer, Marion makes a few calculations based on how much the escapade has cost her. She then takes a shower. Suddenly, a mysterious figure enters the bathroom — shadowy through the shower curtain — and stabs Marion to death. Believing his mother has committed the murder, Norman hides the body in a tar pit.
Janet Leigh, who portrayed Marion in the original film, has said that when he cast her, Hitchcock gave her the following charter: "I hired you because you are a talented actress! I will only direct you if A: you attempt to take more than your share of the pie, B: you don't take enough, or C: if you are having trouble motivating the necessary timed movement."
According to Leigh, wardrobe worn by her character Marion Crane was not custom made for her, but rather purchased "off the rack" from ordinary clothing stores. Hitchcock wanted female viewers to identify with the character by having her wear clothes that an ordinary secretary could afford.
Contrary to a widely told tale, Hitchcock did not arrange for the water to suddenly go ice-cold during the shower scene to elicit an effective scream from Leigh. This urban legend appears to have originated with Universal Tour guides as they passed the "Psycho" house, one of the most popular attractions on the lot. Leigh said that the crew took great care to keep the water warm, and filming of the scene took an entire week.
Hitchcock tested the shock value of Mother's corpse by placing it in Leigh's dressing room and listening to how loud she screamed when she discovered it there.
The trailer was shot after completing the movie, and because Leigh wasn't available anymore, Hitchcock used costar Vera Miles in the shower sequence in the trailer.
Leigh wore moleskin adhesive patches covering her nipples when she acted out the shower scene. However, after the warm water of the shower washed off the moleskin, Hitchcock still did one more take. The take was used in the finished film.
Psycho's first sequel, 1983's Psycho II, starts off with a flashback to the shower scene. Vera Miles returns as Marion's sister, Lila Crane, now Lila Loomis, who is on a crusade to keep Norman committed. The film introduces Mary Loomis (Meg Tilly), Lila's daughter with Sam and Marion's niece. Both are killed in the film; Lila is stabbed while in Norman's fruit cellar by a woman who looks like him in his "Mother" guise (later revealed to be Emma Spool, played by Claudia Bryar), and Mary is shot by a policeman when she attempts to stab Norman, thinking he killed Lila and the other victims in the film.
In the second sequel, 1986's Psycho III, the shower scene appears again in a flashback again, this time when Norman sees a woman (Maureen Coyle, played by Diana Scarwid) that reminds him of Marion.
Marion makes no appearance in the final sequel, 1990's made-for-TV Showtime film Psycho IV: The Beginning. She is merely referred to a few times as "the girl he killed in the shower."
Marion appears in the 1992 three-issue comic book adaptation of the first Psycho film released by Innovation Publishing.
Janet Leigh played the character of Marion in the original film. Anne Heche played Marion in the 1998 remake. Scarlett Johansson portrays Janet Leigh during the filming of Psycho in Hitchcock, starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren.

Hell, I think Alex Gordon deserves another Gold Glove for this play alone:
No, it wasn't a good play. But don't you get like a thousand bonus points for fooling two play-by-play men and the organist and the fireworks guys?
Also, a hundred bonus points to Ryan Lefebvre for apparently being one of two people in the stadium -- Alex Gordon being the other -- who knew that wasn't a home run.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Fifty million retirees across the nation and in south Georgia will see their largest cost of living increase in more than two decades next year.
Average retirees will earn another $750, thanks to the annual cost of living increase in Social Security Benefits.
Tough economic times are the reason for the 5.8 percent increase in benefits. With cost increases for energy, fuel, and groceries many retirees on a fixed income have been paying out more for the basic necessities.
It's been years since Colleen Chappell retired from her job as the Radium Middle School lunch room manger, now she volunteers five days a week at the Albany Senior Center on Pine Avenue, but higher prices could cut her hours.
"The way everything is going up with the gas prices so high, it's hard to make ends meet," she said.
She's on a fixed income with her retirement and social security benefits and doesn't want money to dictate whether she continues to drive from Mitchell County to volunteer. "It keeps me young. It helps me as much as I help them."
News of an increase in social security benefits is welcome. "Since 1973, the Social Security Act has called for this economic protection to be in place so that the cost of living makes the check flow with the economy," said Charles Tennille, Social Security Administration District Manager.
To make up for tough times, retirees will see between $58 and $63 more in their checks starting in January, about $750 a year.
"So that's basically showing there's been a 5.8 percent need or increase in what the economic need would be for our beneficiaries," says Tennille.
For Colleen, it will fit the bill. "That would be wonderful, we can't be greedy we have to be thankful and I'm very well satisfied. It will help a lot."
Increases have been below three percent for all but three of the past 15 years.

An assistant professor at Saginaw Valley State University has taken a plea deal after being charged with possessing child porn.
Robert J. Thaler, 71, had been at the university since 1974. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors will recommend he be sentenced to probation. They also stipulate that he cannot apply for reinstatement as a professor at SVSU.
Thaler had been suspended while the university awaited the outcome of the case.
In June of 2013, SVSU released this statement on the professor's case:
In late January 2012, SVSU became aware of apparent wrongdoing involving the misuse of a University computer by a faculty member. We immediately began an investigation and contacted the Saginaw County Prosecutor's Office. In early February 2012, we sent the computer to the FBI's Mid-Michigan Area Computer Crimes Task Force for further investigation. We also began internal disciplinary proceedings. These proceedings resulted in the unpaid suspension of this individual, who has not taught classes at SVSU since April 2012 and has been banned from being present on campus.
We have been awaiting the results of the FBI's investigation and recently learned that criminal charges have been brought against this individual. The unpaid suspension will remain in effect, pending the outcome of any criminal proceedings.
Since this is now a criminal matter, SVSU will have no further comment at this time.
A sentencing date has not been set.

Chouteau v. EckhartAnnotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Chouteau v. Eckhart, 43 U.S. 2 How. 344 344 (1844)
Chouteau v. Eckhart
43 U.S. (2 How.) 344
This Court has jurisdiction under the twenty-fifth section of the Judiciary Act in a Missouri land cause, where the title is not to be determined by Spanish laws alone, but where the construction of an act of Congress is involved to sustain the title.
The obligation of perfecting titles under Spanish concessions, which was assumed
by the United States in the Louisiana treaty, was a political obligation to be carried out by the legislative department of the government. Congress, in confirming or rejecting claims, acted as the successor of the intendant general, and both exercised in this respect a portion of sovereign power.
The Act of Congress passed on 13 June, 1812, confirming the titles and claims of certain towns and villages to village lots and commons, gave a title which is paramount to a title held under an old Spanish concession confirmed by Congress in 1836.
The facts were these:
On 11 January 1797, Charles Tayon presented the following petition:
"To Don Zenon Trudeau, Lieutenant Governor of the western part of Illinois, at St. Louis: "
"Charles Tayon, sub-lieutenant of infantry, pensioned by the King, captain of militia, commandant, under your orders, of the Village of St. Charles, of Missouri, has the honor to pray you to grant him a tract of timbered land of six arpens in width, fronting on the [marcies croche de la prairie basse] Crooked Swamp, in the low prairie, and extending to the Missouri, adjoining, on one side, to Mr. Ant. Janis, and on the other side, to lands not heretofore granted; favor which he expects of your justice."
"[Signed] CHARLES TAYON"
"St. Louis, 11 January, 1797"
On 23 January, Trudeau returned the following answer:
"St. Louis, January 23, 1797"
"Having been informed that the land asked for, in order to procure timber, is in no way fit to be improved, on account of the inundations to which it is subject every year, and that the timber thereon is only good to burn, and will renew itself in a short time, and therefore cannot be ruined, as the timber growing on the hills, which experience has shown will never grow up again; and the said land being in the vicinity of the Village of St. Charles and of various farms, in the prairie of its dependency, which would have to go a great deal further to procure wood; said tract shall remain (as well as all others adjoining, either in ascending or descending the Missouri, and which have been asked for by sundry petitions, addressed to us, together with the present, by Mr. Tayon) to the royal domain,
and for the common use of the said Village of St. Charles, and for the lands already granted in the prairies, or to be granted hereafter, all which Mr. Tayon shall make known to all the inhabitants, and especially to those who have asked for land, and whose petitions I herewith return."
"[Signed] ZENON TRUDEAU"
On 17 November, 1800, Pierre Chouteau applied for an augmentation of a previous concession as follows:
"To Don Carlos Dehault Delassus, lieutenant colonel attached to the stationary regiment of Louisiana, and lieutenant governor of the upper part of the same province: "
"Peter Chouteau, lieutenant of militia and commandant of the fort of Carondelet in the Osage nation, has the honor to represent to you that formerly he obtained of Don Manuel Perez, lieutenant governor of this part of Illinois, a concession for a tract of land of 10 arpens in front by as many in depth, to be taken on the left side of the Missouri at about 20 arpens above St. Charles, upon which concession your petitioner has made all preparatory works for the construction of a water grist mill, which was to be built on the creek comprised in his concession. The lieutenant governor, Don Zenon Trudeau, was pleased to grant to your petitioner an augmentation to the said tract of 30 arpens in depth, all which is proven by the authentic documents necessary to this object. The desire of profiting of the favor which the general government granted to all those who presented their titles to obtain their ratification caused your petitioner to address those same above-mentioned documents to a friend at New Orleans, to whom probably they have not been remitted, since he could not effectuate their presentation; the said original documents having not been registered in the archives of this government, your petitioner would be in great perplexity had he not to offer to you the attestation of Don Carlos Tayon, captain commanding the Village of St. Charles, of Missouri, who at that time had a perfect knowledge of the original documents here above-mentioned, by virtue of which your petitioner was authorized to begin an establishment for which he has made considerable sacrifice."
"Full of confidence in the justice and generosity of the government, he hopes that after the attestation you may be pleased to take from the commandant of St. Charles, you will have the goodness to ratify to him, and in the place, the security of a property which he has been enjoying for more than ten years by virtue of the titles to him
expedited by your predecessors, and of which he should wish that you would be pleased to order the surveyor of the Upper Louisiana to put him in possession in the following manner: to take two arpens below the creek comprised in his concession, and above said creek all the space which is between the said creek and the next plantation, by the depth of forty arpens, in order that, being possessed of the certificate of survey which shall be delivered to him, he may, if needed, have recourse to the superior authorities to obtain the ratification of the said title. The petitioner presumes to hope everything from your justice in the decision of the case which he has the honor to submit to your tribunal."
"St. Louis of Illinois, 17 November, 1800"
On 18 November, 1800, Delassus referred the matter to Tayon, who replied as follows:
"St. Louis of Illinois, 17 of November, 1800"
"Cognizance being taken of the foregoing statement, the sub-lieutenant in the royal army and captain of militia, commandant of the post of St. Charles, shall give, in continuation, information of all he knows upon what is here asked."
"In compliance with the foregoing order, I do inform the lieutenant governor that the statement of Don Pierre Chouteau is in all conformable to truth, having had full knowledge of the titles mentioned by him in his petition, as well as of the considerable works he has done on said land, of which he has always been acknowledged as the proprietor."
"St. Louis, 25th November, 1800"
On the next day, 26 November, 1800, Delassus issued the following order:
"St. Louis of Illinois, 26 November, 1800"
"Having seen the foregoing information and the just rights stated by Don Pedro Chouteau, to whom an unexpected accident has deprived of his title of concession, and considering that he has been for a long time proprietor of the land in question, the surveyor of this Upper Louisiana, Don Antonia Soulard, shall put him in possession, in the manner solicited, of the tract of land he petitions for, and the survey being executed, he shall draw a plat of said survey, which he shall deliver to the interested party, to serve to the said party to obtain the title in form from the general intendency, to which tribunal alone
corresponds, by royal order, the distributing and granting all classes of lands of the royal domain."
On 18 January, 1801, the inhabitants of the Village of St. Charles had a meeting and adopted the following proceedings:
"In the year eighteen hundred and one, on 18 January, at the request of Mr. Louis Barrada, syndic for the fences of this parish, we, Charles Tayon, captain-commandant of the said St. Charles, have given notice at the door of this said church that all the inhabitants of this place should have to assemble this day in our government [house] in order to determine whether the commons at the lower end should be increased or not. The said inhabitants being then assembled and the question being under deliberation, they all unanimously agreed that for the interest of the said parish, the enclosed of the lands shall begin (acote) by the side of Mr. Antoine Lamarche, and it shall be continued in descending to the Crooked Swamp, all the way through the woods, to nearly opposite the house of the late Louis Hunault; thence it shall run in a straight line to the Missouri."
"The said inhabitants having thus determined on this head, it was agreed that the syndic on duty this year shall cause to be measured the quantity of arpens of land which are included in the new augmentation of the commons, in order to [separter] distribute to each inhabitant what he is to do with it according to the usages which have always been observed, without wronging anyone whosoever in the said distribution."
"It has been further agreed in the said assembly that if hereafter the commons of the upper end should need to be enlarged in order to procure more pasturage for the cattle, all the said inhabitants [s'y porterons] shall help in doing the same, as this day they bind themselves to do for the lower end, always without prejudice to anyone whosoever. And as the said inhabitants will not undertake anything without the consent of the lieutenant governor, they have judged proper that the present deliberation should be communicated to him, and that he be supplicated to preserve to the said inhabitants of St. Charles, of Missouri, their upper and lower commons, in their whole and entire state, and they will bind themselves to enclose the same as they have done heretofore, in order to preserve their grain and other property. "
"Done and agreed upon in our government [house], day and year as above. And all the said inhabitants have signed or made their customary marks."
On 26 February, 1801, Delassus made the following reply:
"St. Louis of Illinois, February 26, 1801"
"All concessions and augmentations of property must be granted by the intendant of these provinces, on a petition which is to be presented by those persons claiming lands, but if the commons of the inhabitants of St. Charles is not sufficient for their cultivation, we do permit them, provisionally, to enlarge the same according to their wishes without ensuring to them the right of property, which they are to apply for as above mentioned. And the provisional lines of the said augmentation shall be drawn by Captain Antoine Soulard, Surveyor of Upper Louisiana, who is the only person authorized to survey under our orders. It being well understood that nothing shall be done to the prejudice of any person."
"[Signed] CARLOS DEHAULT DELASSUS"
On 23 February, 1804, Delassus issued another order as follows:
"C. -- In consequence of the representation of the inhabitants of your post, which appears to me very just and well founded, after my decree of 26 February, in the year 1801, by which the augmentation therein mentioned is granted to them, and for which they have asked a survey by their petition of 27 April of the same year -- which petition you have kept to this day without making it known to me, for which I hold you responsible -- I apprise you that the surveys made in the said place cannot belong to any individual, but to the commons of St. Charles. Therefore you shall notify those who have had surveys made in the said place of this disposition, and you shall take the necessary measures for the execution of the whole survey asked for by the said petition of 27 April, according to the aforesaid decree of 26 February in the year 1801."
"May God have you in his holy keeping."
"[Signed in the original] CARLOS DEHAULT DELASSUS"
"Mr. Charles Tayon"
"St. Louis of Illinois, 23 February, 1804"
"I certify that the above is a copy of the original (official letter) addressed to Mr. Charles Tayon by the ex-commander-in-chief of
Upper Louisiana, Don Carlos Dehault Delassus, and presented to me by the citizens of note of the Village of St. Charles, while I was commandant of the said village."
"[Signed] JAMES MACKAY"
On 2 March, 1804, the surveyor general, Soulard, having made a survey and plat in conformity with the above order, issued the following certificate:
"I, Anthony Soulard, Surveyor General of Upper Louisiana, do hereby, certify, that a tract of land was surveyed, meted, and bounded for, and in presence of, the syndic and inhabitants of St. Charles [Missouri], with the assistance of many of the inhabitants of said village, such as is represented in the plan hereto annexed, according to their petition therefor, dated January 18, 1801, and the decree of the lieutenant governor, by which I am ordered to put them in possession of a sufficient quantity of land to serve them as a common; which surveys being completed, I find the said tract of land to contain 14,000 arpens, (superficial measure), the admeasurement being made with the perch of Paris, of 18 pies in length, also Paris measure according to the usages or customs of this country, which tract of land is situate on the left side of the Missouri River, at about twenty-one miles from the Town of St. Louis, bounded as follows, viz.: N.E., lands of the royal domain; S.E., the River Missouri; S.W., partly by land of St. James d'Eglise; N.W., by sundries, namely, Francis Duquette, the inhabitants of Marias Croche, lands at the Mamelles, lands of various proprietors, and lastly, by lands of Frs. Duguette, Joseph Tayon, John Tayon, and royal domain. This survey and admeasurement made without noticing the variation magnetic needle, which is (now) 7

A cast of 67 students from Chatham Middle School will take the stage Sunday for a production of "The Music Man ... Jr."
Students will perform an abbreviated versiond of Meredith Wilson's classic musical at 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday after the Friday show was postponed because of the winter storm.
Though the show is shortened, director Alison Caravano promises the soul of the show remains.
The cast, Caravano said, "is one of the most gifted groups of young people I have ever had the privilege of directing." The students have rehearsed two hours each day since November.
Besides the cast, there is also a set of 30 crew and design volunteers and 36 hair and make-up collaborators. Veronica Shaw and Nina Packie served as the musical director and choreographer, respectively.
Performances begin at 6 p.m. on Feb. 7, with senior citizens invited to attend free of charge. Further performances will be at 7 p.m. on Feb. 8 and 9. Tickets are $6 and can be purchased in the main office at Chatham Middle School, or at the door.
"The talents the students share in this performance are truly spectacular," Caravano said.

On July 19, 2006, President Bush vetoed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005, which had been passed by Congress. The bill would have authorized federal support for research using stem cells derived from excess human embryos donated from in vitro fertilization clinics and never implanted in a woman. Congress did not attempt to override the veto. The following is the text of the veto message President Bush sent to the House of Representatives:
I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 810, the "Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005."
Like all Americans, I believe our Nation must vigorously pursue the tremendous possibilities that science offers to cure disease and improve the lives of millions. Yet, as science brings us ever closer to unlocking the secrets of human biology, it also offers temptations to manipulate human life and violate human dignity. Our conscience and history as a Nation demand that we resist this temptation. With the right scientific techniques and the right policies, we can achieve scientific progress while living up to our ethical responsibilities.
In 2001, I set forth a new policy on stem cell research that struck a balance between the needs of science and the demands of conscience. When I took office, there was no Federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research. Under the policy I announced 5 years ago, my Administration became the first to make Federal funds available for this research, but only on embryonic stem cell lines derived from embryos that had already been destroyed. My Administration has made available more than $90 million for research of these lines. This policy has allowed important research to go forward and has allowed America to continue to lead the world in embryonic stem cell research without encouraging the further destruction of living human embryos.
H.R. 810 would overturn my Administration's balanced policy on embryonic stem cell research. If this bill were to become law, American taxpayers for the first time in our history would be compelled to fund the deliberate destruction of human embryos. Crossing this line would be a grave mistake and would needlessly encourage a conflict between science and ethics that can only do damage to both and harm our Nation as a whole.
Advances in research show that stem cell science can progress in an ethical way. Since I announced my policy in 2001, my Administration has expanded funding of research into stem cells that can be drawn from children, adults, and the blood in umbilical cords with no harm to the donor, and these stem cells are currently being used in medical treatments. Science also offers the hope that we may one day enjoy the potential benefits of embryonic stem cells without destroying human life. Researchers are investigating new techniques that might allow doctors and scientists to produce stem cells just as versatile as those derived from human embryos without harming life. We must continue to explore these hopeful alternatives, so we can advance the cause of scientific research while staying true to the ideals of a decent and humane society.
I hold to the principle that we can harness the promise of technology without becoming slaves to technology and ensure that science serves the cause of humanity. If we are to find the right ways to advance ethical medical research, we must also be willing when necessary to reject the wrong ways. For that reason, I must veto this bill.
July 19, 2006.
