Phillip Fulmer's ex-offensive coordinator will reportedly say no to Tennessee, making the Vols 0-3 on their first choices and upping the pressure on Mike Hamilton.

From the back cover of my copy (ellipsis in original):
SISU… courage, obstinacy, "guts"…four million Finns living in the jaws of Soviet Communism – flaunting their independence!This book is out of print, and of course history has veered a little since it was written, but it's a great reminder that more than once in the past when the Finns were up against overwhelming odds, enough of them mustered the deep strength they needed to fight back hard enough and smart enough and long enough to win.
SISU is a national characteristic of the Finnish people. It accounts for their great exploits:
…The winning of independence from Russia in 1918, led by the genius of Marshall Mannerheim and SISU
…The 1939 Winter War against the Russians, when the vastly outnumbered Finns destroyed five Soviet divisions, using Molotov cocktails, the "motti" tactic, and SISU
…The continuing fight against Communist "silent aggression," avoiding the fate of Czechoslovakia, without foreign aid but with SISU
A saga of courage and idealism at the Eastern parapet of democracy.
When I checked the Internet this morning there were just a few copies for sale used, with prices ranging from five bucks on up.

» Background
Cheque Truncation
Cheque truncation is the process in which the physical movement of cheque within a bank, between banks or between banks and the clearing house is curtailed or eliminated, being replaced in whole or in part, by electronic records of their content (with or without the images) for further processing and transmission.The term '
'' means to remove an original paper cheque from the cheque collection or return process and send to a recipient, in lieu of such original paper cheque, a substitute cheque or, by agreement, information relating to the original cheque (including data taken from the MICR line of the original cheque or an electronic image of the original cheque), whether with or without subsequent delivery of the original paper cheque. Cheque Truncation compels any party in the chain to truncate any cheque (business or commercial) and convert it to an image at the presenting bank level.
Cheque Truncation System (CTS) was implemented by Reserve Bank of India at New Delhi Bankers Clearing House on a pilot basis. With the discontinuance of MICR Clearing w.e.f. 1-7-2009, CTS has covered all bank branches in New Delhi. NPCI is exploring the possibilities of launching the same functionality at Chennai ."

By Jim Sullivan
---- — A little taste of the Hawaiian Islands came to Carriagetown last night in the form of the 15th annual Amesbury Days block party that kicks off Amesbury Days.
"It's been wonderful," Amesbury Chamber of Commerce executive director Melissa Lachance said of the block party that took over downtown last night.
"We put a theme together this year of a Hawaiian luau. We have steel drums coming, we have hula dancers coming and we have Hawaiian leis for everybody. We wanted to do a little bit something different this year."
"I love it," Amesbury resident Mollie Sydlowski said of the evening's Hawaiian theme. "I think it is kind of ironic that it is raining, but I like the fact that everyone is wearing the leis and it's cool to have a theme."
The block party got Amesbury Days going after the senior cookout that was held in the afternoon. The 2013 Amesbury Days run from Thursday through Sunday evening, ending with a bang on the Fourth of July.
There will be park activities, a teddy bear parade and an art expo in City Hall. Friday night will feature a beer fest while Saturday will feature a street fair as well as a farmers market. Sunday will showcase a car show downtown; and it will all end a few days later with fireworks on the Fourth of July.
"What this event is about is us coming together as a community and spending some time together and having some fun. And it helps to showcase a really wonderful downtown," said Amesbury Mayor Thatcher Kezer. "We hope Mother Nature is kind to us this weekend."
Normally a longer event, this year's Amesbury Days was shortened to four days.
"One of the things we did this year was, we consolidated it down to four days because we wanted quality, not quantity," said Kezer. "Now it is one weekend with lots of great activities."
City Council President Anne Ferguson, dressed in a grass skirt, was perched over a dunk tank, a target for people who were throwing balls to dunk her, all for a good time.
"It's a little hard to get back up when you're all wet," said Ferguson. "But I did it. I just hope I don't have to do it too many times."
Jean Ballard, 76, has lived in Amesbury all her life and said that she has been going to Amesbury Days every year since they started.
"I think meeting new people and seeing the townspeople come together (is a highlight)," said Ballard. "I like the music."
Providing some of that music was Jimmy Callahan of the band Deep Keel. Although an Amesbury native himself, this was Callahan's first time playing the Amesbury block party.
"It's awesome. We're doing this rain or shine for the people of Amesbury," said the keyboard player and vocalist. "We love to play music and we are having a good time just playing for everyone, right now."
Steve Qwinn, 27, echoed Ballard's comments, saying he has been coming to Amesbury Days all of his life as well and that it is the sense of community that brings him out year after year.
"It's something that is unique to this town," said Qwinn. "I know that every town has their own thing. But Amesbury does their own unique thing. It's always been a part of summer to take part in Amesbury Days. It's just what I'm used to, it's what I know. It wouldn't be summer without it as far as I'm concerned. Well, it would still be summer but not as good."
Pastor of the Main Street Congregational Church, the Rev. Joan Macpherson was happy her church could host a number of vendors and musicians on its lawn once again.
"I'm delighted that we can share our property to invite the community to come out and build community together because that's what we're all about," said Macpherson. "We're downtown and we have the space and we're about celebrating the community. So, we're doing it."

Part 2 - http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/4/12/2107708/age-its-impact-on-fights-part-ii
Part III
Today, we look at the rate of stoppage losses and how it affects aging fighters. The critics against older fighters competing should have a good time with this one.
First, a few notes.
- I included TKOs, KOs, and DQs in the stoppages.
- The "dotted line" represents the sample average.
- The "red line" represents the trendline -- helping to smooth out the peaks and valleys.
The limits of the sample set shine through in this analysis, so I decided to toss the trend-line in. For the younger fighters, the stoppages account for less than 25% of the losses, but notice how that nearly doubles (on a trend-line basis) once the fighters get into their 40s.
Part IV
With almost 3,000 birthdates now (nearly twice as many as before), we're now going to see if fighters get more complacent with age. This analysis looks at almost 28,000 fights, which I consider to be an acceptable sample set. Furthermore, I am only analyzing wins with known outcome types and am considered a finish as a TKO, KO, DQ or SUB.
I thought the increased sample set would help matters, but the peak after 40 is larger than ever and even starts in the late 30s this time. The logarithmic trendline still follows through with a consistent descent, but is nearly even at the end of the age range.
Are the older fighters likely fighting other older fighters and the eventual loser does not have the stamina to finish the fights? Or are the older fighters more likely to take soft touches? The sample set is now even more pronounced in that it is reflecting mainly the 21-31 year old fighters, so it's as if the trendline knows (without me telling it) that the weight supports data on the left side moreso than the right.
Part V
Today, we're going to look at a fighter's prime, and if a distinctive peak period can be ascertained by looking at a combination of age AND "career age" (time between debut date and fight date).
In most professional sports, it's usually agreed upon that a person's prime is between their late 20s and early-mid 30s, with women having the potential of reaching this prime a few years later.
First, I took all of the fight outcomes where a fighter had a valid birth date and grouped my counts by age and career age. For the record, a fighter's first year is treated as year 0, just like a person's age.
The Top 5 most commonly seen combinations are:
|Career Age
Not much of a surprise there. The typical MMA participant in a pro fight is in his/her early-mid 20s and has a year or two of experience.
When analyzing the combinations for peak period, I excluded all of the combinations with less than 25 fights. This eliminates almost everything above age 40 -- probably a good thing. I'm also eliminating all ages below 20 and all career ages below 5. In the previous charts, we saw aberrations in this zone that we can all agree are likely due to these fighters having the tendency to face many "soft touches". So what does that leave us with? A pretty clear picture.
The top 5 highest win percentages are found in:
|Career Age
The average combination found in the top 5 results being (28.8, 10), with the average in the top 25 being (28.2, 7.44). Surprisingly, the final result is much more straightforward than I expected. I thought I'd get a ton of outliers, but I really did not.
Given the results, it's pretty safe to say that the best winning percentages are going to come from fighters between age 27 and 33 that debuted between 18 and 21. The tight range on the debut age is most fascinating to me and it doesn't bode well for fighters getting into the pro game beyond their early 20's.
Part V Final Notes
- There is definitely a correlation between the typical "prime age" and total experience.
- Fighters who start fighting in their late teens are for the most part, managed very well -- at least early on.
- Fighters who hit roughly a decade of experience at or around age 30 are sitting pretty.
- I can't help but wonder about the multitude of fighters in the mid-late 30's and past 40 who are still putting up big win percentages after 15+ years in the sport.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio man has pleaded guilty to raping a boy authorities said was brought by the child's adoptive father to his home, where both men raped the boy.
The Montgomery County prosecutor's office said Friday that 32-year-old Patrick Rieder pleaded guilty to 27 counts including rape of a child under 13 and pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor.
The prosecutor says Rieder was sentenced to 25 years to life and labeled a sex offender.
Authorities said the boy's adoptive father gave Rieder and another man access to the boy.
The adoptive father has pleaded guilty to child rape for assaults on the boy and three other adopted children. The third man pleaded no contest.
The Associated Press isn't naming the father to protect the child's identity.

Here's a school that has pretty much sucked in every major sport since the early 90's (roughly 20 years), does not have a baseball team in a STRONG college baseball conference (I know baseball doesn't mean d*ck compared to the other sports, but I'm getting to my point here) and has some of the worst facilities compared to other schools in the PAC. Yet they somehow wave a magic wand and *POOF* they are out of the crumbling Big XII and into the PAC.
Why can't Tech do the same thing? Why can't we look out for the best interest of our school, say Fu*ck Texas and work on trying to join a more stable conference?
I could give a damn about rivalries at this point. I'm tired of Texas doing whatever the hell they want and everyone just bowing to the almighty.

HAMILTON, OH (FOX19) - The trial of a Butler County doctor has been postponed.
Dr. Scott Blankenburg was scheduled to go on trial next week. Dr. Blankenburg and his twin brother, Mark, are accused of sexually abusing underage patients and then buying their silence with drugs and money.
The trial was delayed at the request of both the prosecution and defense, with both sides saying they needed more time to prepare their cases.
The trial probably won't begin until next year.
Dr. Mark Blankenburg's trial is still scheduled for October.

I know these don't really mean anything, but The Sporting News ranked the top NFL players at each position. Six Titans made the list. The only positions that had no Titans included were Inside Linebacker, Guard, Center, Wide Receiver, Fullback, and Quarterback. I found it quite surprising that pro bowl center Kevin Mawae and fullback Ahmard Hall didn't make the list. At least we got represented, unlike the Madden 2010 ratings...
OLB: 1. DeMarcus Ware (Cowboys), 2. James Harrison (Steelers), 3. Shawn Merriman (Chargers), 4. Terrell Suggs (Ravens), 5. Joey Porter (Dolphins), 6. Adalius Thomas (Patriots), 7. Lance Briggs, 8. Keith Bulluck (Titans)
Don't let B-U-L-L-U-C-K leave! Besides Shawne Merriman, who was injured all of last year, Bulluck is the #2 non pro-bowl OLB, behind Adalius Thomas. Also interesting is that the top five players are 3-4 rush line backers. The only two 4-3 OLBs are Lance Briggs and Bulluck.
DT: 1. Albert Haynesworth (Redskins), 19. Jovan Haye (Titans)
I haven't heard anything about Haye, but it seems good things are possible in the future from him. But no surprise as to who #1 is.
DE: 1. Jared Allen (Vikings), 10. Kyle Vanden Bosch (Titans)
Boom King, if healthy, definitely compares to the other players above him. But again, the key is staying healthy. Vanden Bosch and Bulluck are probably now the two leaders of our defense.
OT: 1. Ryan Clady (Broncos), 2. Walter Jones (Seahawks), 3. Jason Peters (Eagles), 4. Joe Thomas (Browns), 5. Michael Roos (Titans)
I think Roos is a little low over here. Ryan Clady was a rookie last year, and he is number one. Clady wasn't even a pro-bowl player last year.
TE: 1. Jason Witten (Cowboys), 10. Bo Scaife (Titans)
Hmm, should Scaife really be ranked this high? From the early reports from training camp, it seems that rookie Jared Cook can dethrone Scaife as the best tight end on our roster.
RB: 1. Adrian Peterson (Vikings), 10. Chris Johnson (Titans)
He could have been ranked higher, but some can agree that this is the correct ranking for him. Another year to prove that he was not a one year wonder, and he can be ranked in the top five. Most fantasy mock drafts draft him sixth overall.
CB: 1. Nnamdi Asomugha (Raiders), 2. Cortland Finnegan (Titans)
Our feisty cornerback gets some credit he deserves. If quarterbacks lose their brains and constantly throw towards him in 2009, he can easily break Dick (Night Train) Lane's record of fourteen interceptions in a season.
S: 1. Ed Reed (Ravens), 2. Troy Polomalu (Steelers), 3. Adrian Wilson (Cardinals), 4. Bob Sanders (Colts), 5. Chris Hope (Titans), 6. Nick Collins (Packers), 7. Brian Dawkins (Broncos), 8. Michael Griffin (Titans)
Anyone else think that Michael Griffin should be ranked higher than Chris Hope? Regardless, our safeties are stellar, and they both deserve to be in the top ten.
K: 1. Stephen Goskowski (Patriots), 2. John Kasay (Panthers), 3. Jason Elam (Falcons), 4. Rob Bironas (Titans)
Rob Bironas could be ranked in either of the first four spots, but making 40/40 of his PATs is an impressive feat. Every field goal he missed in 2008 was from the 41-49 yard range, but making 6 of 8 beyond 50 yards over the past three years is impressive.
P: 1. Shane Lechler (Raiders), 10. Craig Hentrich (Titans)
Hentrich almost retired this offseason, and it seemed like he declined in his play last year. He could have been ranked this high in past years, but I don't think he deserves a ranking this high.

Free Elections Processes in Haiti
The democratic elections, which are to be held in November of 2005, are of major importance to the country of Haiti. Haiti is a country that had claimed its independence from France 200 years ago and has had been overrun by dictators until the establishment of its first democratic election in 1990. With the help of the United Nations, Haiti hopes to finally establish a fair democratic society.
Haiti was originally called St. Domingue under France's rule. And in January of 1804, it was the "world's only successful slave revolt." The new self proclaimed emperor, Dessalines, changed the name to Haiti. He created a constitution that recognized equality of everyone, regardless of color. After his assassination two years later the country was split in two: the north controlled by the blacks and the south that was ruled by the mulatto.
Between 1843 and 1915 there were 22 different leaders of Haiti. Only one had successfully fulfilled his designated term. The rest were either overthrown, killed or died during their term. These leaders had accomplished very little for the country. They did succeed in ignoring the Haitian constitution. They ruled the land with violence using private militias.
In 1915 President Woodrow Wilson sent soldiers to Haiti to ensure foreign interest. Essentially, for 19 years the United States ran Haiti by installing Haitian presidencies that were sympathetic to American needs. The United states had helped establish the Garde d'Haiti, which eventually took power in 1934 when the United states withdrew from Haiti.
After this government essentially failed, the new Haitian army took power in 1946. General Paul Magloire had governed the country until it held its first direct presidential election. Dumarsais Estime was the new president. After four years in power Magloire, with the help of the army and the upper class, took over. Magloire ruled until 1956, during this time period the country had seen a time of peace and prosperity.
In 1957 the military had rigged the next presidential election for Francois Duvaller. He quickly rewrote the constitution and proclaimed himself president for life. Duvaller kept power by threatening the public, killing 30,000 Haitians for political crimes. His government was characterized by its corruption. Before Duvaller died he proclaimed his son as the new ruler of Haiti. And in 1983 a new constitution was created. In 1986 the new Duvaller was ousted from the country and the new Haitian constitution was approved by popular vote in 1987. It was at this time the Haiti had originally planed for national elections, but had to abort due to Duvalier's militia's senior officers killing of dozens of voters at the polls. In 1988 Haiti went through three democratic leaders. Finally in December of 1990 Haiti held its first ever democratic election. Jean-Bertrand Aristide was elected and he took office in February of 1991. He was overthrown by General Raoul Cedras and Philippe Biamby, but was returned to power in 1994. Aristide had disbanded the military, as recomended by the United States. In the flawed election of 1996 Aristide's first prime minister was elected president. By 2000 Aristide was elected president again due to fixed elections that contained roughly ten percent of the voters. Fighting broke out in February of 2004, an armed opposition threatened to take over the capital. Aristide left the country on February 29th. That night the Permanent Representative of Haiti asked for assistance from the United Nations.
The United Nations had adopted resolution 1529 which authorized the Multinational Interim Force(MIF.) The MIF is to help establish a constitutional political process and to help maintain a secure and stable environment. By March the Prime Minister had formed a 13 member transitional government. On behalf of the transitional government the Prime Minister had signed the Consensus on the Political Transition Pact which would hold municipal, parliamentary and presidential elections in 2005. The Pact will end the transitional governments term when the newly elected president takes office. Also, the Pact established measures to reconstruct the government during the transition period. The United Nations Secretary-General, had exclaimed that the Pact did not include all political movements or the need of a national dialogue. With these recommendations and of a survey done by the Security Council the United Nations had adopted resolution 1542 in April. This resolution established the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and transferred power from the MIF to MINUSTAH in June.
The main points of the resolution that the department of peacekeeping operations (DPKO) should be consider with are:
1. secure and stabilize the environment
- to assist the transitional Government in monitoring and restructuring of the Haitian Police
- to assist the police in disarmament and other public security measures
- to assist with the restoration of the rule of law, public safety and public order in Haiti
- to protect United Nations personnel, facilities, installations and equipment
- to protect civilians from the threat of physical violence within the areas of deployment
2. Political proces
- to assist the transitional government in establishing a national dialogue
- to assist the transitional government in organizing and carrying out free municipal, parliamentary and presidential elections
- to assist the transitional government in extending the authority throughout Haiti and to support the government with these points the DPKO should be able to help bring about a democratic policy in Haiti.

WSVN -- South Florida does everything in big style, including ringing in the new year.
As usual, the Fontainebleau Hotel will be hosting one of the biggest parties of 2011.
Last year, it was Lady Gaga. This year, world-famous DJ Tiesto will bring down the house poolside.
Jeffrey Klein, Fontainebleau Hotel: "Tiesto is the DJ who is at the top of his game. He is cult-like. He has a following. He puts on an amazing show, not just music but lighting. It is a full, 3-hour show."
If that's not your style, the hotel is wall-to-wall entertainment for the big night.
Jeffrey Klein: "This year in Liv, we've got Jamie Foxx hosting with Cascade, who is a world-renowned DJ. Arkadia, which is our new lounge, has Fat Boy Slim."
If you don't want to shell out any cash, the people-watching is always free at the hotel's trendy Blue Bar.
You can start the new year with one of the biggest names in hip-hop right now.
"W" South Beach will count down to 2011 with Drake at Wet on New Year's Eve. Expect a big bash there.
Another hip-hop favorite, Nicki Minaj, is hosting at club Mansion.
Spoiler alert: expect all-pink decor in Nicki's honor, including cotton candy machines and all the waitresses will be wearing butt pads in an homage to Nicki's infamous derriere.
Joshua Wagner, Morgans Hotel Group: "We're doing something called 'Royal Madness' at Delano, which will include the entire property, including the Florida Room."
For the first time in years, the historic Delano Hotel is throwing a big ticketed party. Expect the unexpected.
Joshua Wagner: "We have teamed up with Suzanne Barsh, legendary party thrower. We'll have a boat in the pool, and we'll have decorations and people hanging from pillars. It is a full-blown assault of the senses."
Up north in Fort Lauderdale, the W Hotel is masked in excitement for the big night.
Mara Stamper, W Hotel, Ft. Lauderdale: "We're actually going to do a masquerade ball. It's going to be a one-ticket event to both venues, Whiskey Blue and The Living Room. We're going to have open bar from 8 to 12."
You'll get masked as soon as you walk through the door.
And if you want a meal before you party, you can dine at Steak 954.
Mara Stamper: "Steak 954 is actually featuring an a la carte menu, so it won't be a flat fee. Just make your reservations in advance."
So say farewell to 2010 and hello to a stylish new year.
Belkys Nerey: "In true South Florida style, pretty much every event is a ticketed event with prices ranging from $125 and up."

Houses of worship in and around new town were filled with parishioners who needed to pray and grieve together.
Unfortunately, there were some frightening moments at one church that forced worshippers to evacuate for an hour.
Some carried candles and flowers into Saint Rose Church, others held hands – but from the holiest to the bravest, just about everyone in Newtown, Connecticut came together as one – filled with sorrow.
"I grew up here, this is my hometown," said an emotional Rick Camejo, Pres. of Newtown Hook & Ladder..
A hometown in need of hugs now more than ever as more than 3,000 stuffed animals lay on the lawn of Saint Rose sent by another church in Rhode Island to help make the children of Newtown feel just a bit safer.
"The outpouring from outlying towns and now across country is amazing," said Camejo.
And then something else amazing at the church -- almost too hard to believe just two days after twenty 6 and 7-year-olds were gunned down by a man with a rifle at Sandy Hook Elementary.
There was a threat against church and everyone was asked to evacuate.
A threat to the church forced Connecticut State Police to rush in wearing armored gear with rifles of their own. Parishioner's forced to evacuate Saint Rose in mid-service – not even able to grieve in peace.
"Father Bob (Msgr. Robert Weiss) came in during ceremony and said church was threatened and we all had to leave," said John Reilly a parishioner.
Some cried while forced to evacuate the church. Others so overwhelmed with anguish, they needed medical help.
"I was just praying for the victims and the shooters family," said 14-year-old Michael Doyle, one of the victim's neighbors.
The Doyle family was especially close to the tragedy. Murdered teacher Anne Marie Murphy was their neighbor and they all met just the way you would expect them to here in Newtown.
"When we went ice skating for first time, Anne Marie and her kids bought us brownies. That's when I first met Anne Marie -- such a beautiful person," said Michelle Doyle.
And such a beautiful place to call home, now forever marred by one man's madness.

TUF 13 winner Anthony Ferguson encountered his stiffest competition to date against veteran Yves Edwards at The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale tonight on Spike TV.
The first frame was a high paced slugfest that unfolded with Edwards stinging precise counter strikes on the feet. Ferguson unveiled how durable his chin is by eating a handful of punches and one high kick, but continuing to plug away with combinations of his own that started to shift the momentum in his direction. To close the round, Ferguson hit a beautiful rolling omoplata that Edwards managed to worm free of.
The second round was more fan-friendly striking with both fighters digging in and throwing their hands with bad intentions, landing at a fairly equal clip. Ferguson rolled out a diverse set of attacks with low kicks, high kicks, a head-snapping lead uppercut and a takedown to finish the round.
Edwards hung tough and remained a counter striking threat in the third, catching the young fighter with more kicks and his straight left, but Ferguson's resilience was on full display. "El Cucuy" kept lancing long punches and low kicks of his own while constantly pressing forward.
The final result was a unanimous decision for Ferguson with two 30-27 scores and one 29-28.

The Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Department of Justice operations and the Terrorist Surveillance program. Among the issues he addressed were the balance of national security interests and civil rights in determining presidential powers, disclosure by newspapers of the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program, prosecution of leaks of these programs, and the lack of clearance for the Office of Professional Responsibility in the Department of Justice to investigate the legality of the Terrorist Surveillance Program. He also testified about the legal authority of the presidential statements at bill signing ceremonies, administration proposals to deal with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, and the continued detention of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. close

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is more than a literary classic; it's a 50-year testament to the ways a well-told story can inspire readers and impact a culture.
Oprah Winfrey has called it America's "national novel," and Tom Brokaw remembers the "electrifying effect" it had on the country the year it debuted. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1961, and in 1962 a movie adaptation garnered three Academy Awards (having been nominated for eight). Today, this treasured gem has sold more than 30 million copies.
To Kill a Mockingbird was first published in the summer of 1960 when its author, Nelle Harper Lee, was 35 years old. Living in a cold-water flat in New York City's Yorkville neighborhood, she had been supporting herself with a series of odd jobs, from sales clerk in a bookstore to ticket agent for Eastern Airlines. For years, her ambition had been to become a writer. Her childhood friend Truman Capote (who appears in the book as the character Dill) had done it, but for Lee, any future literary success was contingent upon her ability to carve out time in the evenings after work to write.
Those close to Lee, like best friends Joy and Michael Martin Brown, believed in her though, and on Christmas Day, 1956, they presented Lee with an envelope. Inside was a note reading, "You have one year off from your job to write whatever you please. Merry Christmas." Free to devote herself full time to her writing, Lee produced a bestseller.
To honor Lee's achievement and celebrate the novel's 50 years of enduring popularity, publisher HarperCollins is organizing events across the country--from readings to live re-enactments--and publishing several new editions of the classic. There's an elegance to the To Kill a Mockingbird slipcased edition, while the 50th-anniversary hardcover is especially lovely with its vintage reproduction of the original book jacket. Also available is a mass market paperback.
Paying tribute to the novel's lasting legacy is Mary McDonagh Murphy's Scout, Atticus & Boo, a collection of 26 interviews with mostly well-known Americans reflecting on how the book has touched their lives. Included are Anna Quindlen, Jon Meacham, Allan Gurganus, Mary Badham (the actress who played Scout in the movie) and even Lee's sister, Alice Lee.
Gaining a million more readers every year, To Kill a Mockingbird's enduring success can be traced both to the novel's subjects--Scout's coming-of-age, the trial of Tom Robinson--and to Lee's storytelling. The book tackles the injustice of racism, takes a stand for what is right, yet thankfully lacks any tone of self-righteousness or high-minded piety. Lee's characters are wonderfully crafted, so vivid and alive. Her prose is beautifully languid, her descriptions sharp-eyed and her humor smart.
Harper Lee accomplished something great with To Kill a Mockingbird, and with every passing decade, another generation of readers is wholly, and completely, captivated by its magic.Copyright 2010 BookPage Reviews.

We'll miss sheriffs when they're gone
Sheriffs, please know, are different from the tawdry mix of ambition and vanity that makes up local officialdom.
Sheriffs are precursors of our constitutional republic and its attendant democracy. They arose in first-century Anglo-Saxon England or even with the Norse, the natural, chosen leaders of their communities (shires), their title dating back to Alfred the Great.
Sheriffs in this Alfredian mold spoke truth to power. They kept local order, but more important to this discussion they represented to the king the legitimate interests and concerns of common folk — primarily regarding the protection of property and individual liberty, both unique to Western civilization.
The character built into the office was wisely carried over to the legal codes of colonial American government and eventually to our constitutional republic.
Today, not so much. Sheriffs in our metropolitan counties appear most concerned with protecting a system of double-dip pensioning. A friend, retired from law enforcement here, remembers observing one of the state's first Special Weapons and Tactics teams go through its drills.
His thought at the time was that he might have seen the last of the traditional Indiana sheriffs. Future deputies, he realized, would be indistinguishable from policemen, restaurant inspectors, meter readers and other hired muscle for the city, county and state.
The sheriff still stands strong in rural America. A recent quote from a Colorado sheriff protesting his state's new gun laws is representative: "In my oath it says I'll uphold the U.S. Constitution and the constitution of the state of Colorado. It doesn't say I have to uphold every law passed by the Legislature."
Clearly, the sheriff can be a bane to central authority — again, it is historically built into the job. County councils and managers, therefore, are slowly tightening a fiscal noose around the office, reducing it to something resembling an armed postmaster. And it is no accident that legislatures long ago forced sheriffs into term limits.

Yeah, cause I'm sure the President meant "force" everyone to go to school when they'd rather be a frigging plumber or heavy equipment operator etc. The idea is to make it available to people who want to pursue an education for chrissakes.
Call it what it was, a thinly veiled attempt to appeal to anti "elite" non edumacated types that those evil colleges might instill "liberal" ideas about a wide range of subjects that religion doesn't cover.
Education is a key part of this administration's prerogatives, wanting more people to gain college degrees is not some evil Orwellian intelligencia conspiracy that Santorum's making it out to be. But, at any case having listened to him these past couple of years I certainly wouldn't mind him taking a stroll back into a classroom.
Ron Paul is simply how Libertarianism should look like if people took it seriously, not as opium for the 99%
I'm all for people getting a degree, a well educated population benefits us all. What I do however have issue with is this idea that you have to have a degree to do jobs that really don't require them.
How's that going to play in Europe?
Don't believe me? [/SIZE][SIZE=2]Check it out:
http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issue...ment-of-faith/[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][FONT=verdana][SIZE=2]
Indeed, in the USA it has gotten to the point that for a young worker a master's degree is pretty much required to get any sort of well paying job. So of course more and more people are getting master's degrees.
What will eventually happen is that the cost of getting a degree will become more than its earning power, and people will be better off financially taking crap jobs but avoiding student loan debt. The college debt bubble is going to burst.
I'm not of the opinion of the other guy that Europeans in general like Ron Paul.
Most simply never heard of him, and I certainly wouldn't vote for him and don't share any of his beliefs.
But he comes across as honest, that I must admit and if I were libertarian and religious, I would support him.
Also christian bellum iustum doctrine as laid down by Augustinus and Thomas Aquinas doctrine IS basically the classic guideline for a christian monarch on when he's justified to wage war.
Nothing fanatic about this one, it is simply a educated/religious way of saying he opposes interventionism in favor of "classic" war and peace decisionmaking.
I often wonder if these tuition hikes really are the result of Universities "struggling to meet obligations, state budget cuts etc." coz they never seem to struggling and some are raking in nearly hundreds of millions off of Athletics alone. In the end the laborious jobs are gonna be the place to be coz even though they don't pay as much they're stable, and you wont have to worry about spending the rest of your existence paying off a student loan.

Welcome to the FMCA Forum.
I am planning to install wall tile as a backsplash on my 2005 Discovery. I plan to use premixed mastic and stick the tile directly to the paneling. Has anyone done this and what are the potential problems?
Flexing of the wall as you drive will be the biggest issue. You may need to use some green board or other more rigid backing if the wall is prone to flexing.
And even with a reasonably rigid backing you need to use mastic/adhesive and grout that are slightly flexible.
Someone who installs ceramic tile in RVs can likely recommend an adhesive and grout with this property.

We replaced the mirror backsplash behind our range with thermoplastic panels available at Home Depot and Lowes that resembles the old stamped tin they used to use for ceilings and such. They are available in several colors, we chose a deep bronze color that is really rich looking and is quite unique. The panels run about $20/ea and depending on the size of the area to cover you might need 3 or 4 of them. Installation is with very strong double back tape and they are easy to cut with simple tin snips. The panels are recomended as backsplash and are safe around the stove as long as they are kept the minimum distance from the heat source which is actually not very far.
I'd like to do the same. Were you able to remove the mirrors in tact? We have about 7ft of mirror backsplash in three sections. I was considering the same stamped tin.

The mirrors came off really easy, They didn't use glue just double back tape. Used putty knife slipped in behind the mirror and gave a slight twist and they popped right off in one piece. Could use them somewhere else if we wanted.
Here is a few pics of the installation:

How to Get the Happiness You Deserve
The Need to Indulge
The key element seems to be that nugget of naughtiness. "It's so satisfying when you feel like you're getting away with something," says Beth, 38, a mother of a toddler in Eugene, Oregon, who has never confessed to anyone her fetish for a certain fast-food sausage-cheese-and-egg sandwich, which she indulges in only via drive-through ("for the anonymity").
"The thing that's so goofy is that you're an adult, you don't have to 'get away' with stuff, but it adds a bit of deliciousness to it all when you feel like you're doing something people wouldn't approve of," Beth adds.
Psychotherapist Daphne Stevens, author of Watercolor Bedroom: Creating a Soulful Midlife (Authorhouse, 2004), wishes we could pry the guilt off the treat. "Pleasure is our birthright," she says, "and yet we often act as though we're on a pleasure diet. 'Oh, no, I can't take this hour for myself to read or sit in a cafe and drink a cup of coffee.'"
She believes that guilty pleasures are what clinicians would call a "reaction formation." In other words, what you truly feel when you watch your favorite trashy reality TV show is pretty darn happy. But you can't admit that to yourself. So you throw in guilt, Stevens says, "to prove you're suffering. It's like saying, 'I am having this pleasure, but I also feel guilty, so does that make it okay?'"
The sneaky fun, the secret guilt -- sound familiar? A number of women said their guilty pleasure evoked their childhoods. Anna, 40, a public-interest advocate and new mother in Washington, D.C., says her love of reading for hours (which she rarely gets to do these days) dates back to when she was a kid and would literally climb a tree in order to relish her favorite passion uninterrupted. In fact, as a nod to the need of even the most sophisticated adults to nourish their inner child, the Four Seasons Restaurant, in New York City, offers a $10 serving of cotton candy -- on a china plate, no less. "People really love it, regardless of their age," says reservationist Julius Mariano.

Every year the city of Belton puts on a Texas sized July 4th parade but this year one group is protesting because of a new rule banning guns from the parade. The rule change came after the group had already bought a float to participate in the parade.
Now, Open Carry Texas will hold a 2nd Amendment rally outside of the parade and more than a hundred people are expected to join them to protest for open carry laws. The rally was organized with the help of Belton Police. Open carry supporter Victoria Montgomery says, "There is no better symbol of freedom than the gun itself that's how we won the revolutionary war and won our freedom to start with."
Another protestor, Robert Sneed says, "It's been a historic event in Belton for many, many years and it's always included firearms"
The group and open carry supporters are protesting because they're being kept out of the parade.
"I kind of think it's pathetic in a way. That people all of a sudden feel so threatened by a bunch of hardworking law abiding American citizens who want to open carry proudly in a parade where in the theme is symbols of freedom," says Montgomery.
CEO and president of Belton's chamber of commerce, Stephanie O'Banion says the recent gun control debate may have been a factor in bringing about a new insurance policy.
"Each item that comes up each year is developed throughout according to various incidences or maybe something that's new, so we follow our policy."
According to the chamber, this year's insurance policy won't cover any firearm claims.
"Our insurance carrier requires a list of items that are new… They do a risk assessment and then they provide us with a policy back in return. This year we had the addendum come back with our request that said there would be no coverage for firearms claims," said O'Banion.
The chamber says more than 30,000 people are expected to attend the parade and the new gun ban doesn't change their main focus.
"Our number one priority is to put on a safe event and that's our top priority for all of years we've been involved," said O'Banion.
The non profit organization Open Carry Texas raised money and offered to pay for their own insurance policy to be to participate in the parade but the chamber's lawyers wouldn't allow it.
O'Banion says the new rule may not be permanent since they have to get a new policy every year.
"We assess it each year, this is this years, we will asses it again next year," said O'Banion.

The Pittsburgh Steelers scored on their first drive in the AFC Championship game against the New York Jets but it came at a price. Center Maurkice Pouncey went down with what appeared to be a severe ankle injury and was carted off the field.
It was called a high-ankle sprain which could keep someone out for anywhere from a few days to a two months. The good news is that Pouncey told reporters following the game he plans to play in Super Bowl XLV against the Green Bay Packers in two weeks.
"Most definitely," Pouncey said when asked whether he would be playing against the Packers in two weeks in Dallas. "I had this same injury before on my other ankle and I know how to attack it. I know how to approach things. I know in my heart I'm playing in that game."
Pouncey said he had a similar injury while at Florida and came back to play in the next game. The Steelers will have an extra week to prepare for the Super Bowl so the odds of him playing look good.
Pouncey said he heard a pop when he went to the ground and it was "the worst pain ever" but apparently not enough to keep him out of Super Bowl XLV. Check out Behind The Steel Curtain for more on the Super Bowl.

President Barack Obama will be sworn in for his second term Monday, and some locals are literally getting a taste of the festivities.
Chef Marc Lewis serves crab soup monthly to people living at Tallgrass Creek retirement community in Overland Park, KS. It's the same soup his colleagues at their sister facility in Baltimore, MD, created and will serve in the first course at Obama Inaugural Gala dinner.
The savory seafood concoction took first place in the Maryland Crab Soup Competition where the winning chef won the chance to dish it up at the dinner.
"I think it's kind of a privilege to be serving the same soup that President Obama is going to be eating," Chef Marc Lewis said.
And residents are tickled to be getting a taste of presidential life.
"The president is just my favorite president in the whole world," Carolyn Stiles said. "This is a soup fit for the president, I'll say that, and it's delicious."
While the thought doesn't really stir the pot for others.
"I could care less," Hugh McCreery said when asked what it's like to know that he's eating what the president is eating.
But there's no politics in soup, and that's one thing everyone at Tallgrass Creek can agree on.
"I like it, it's good," McCreery said.
Lewis said the secret to success with the soup is the bacon. You cook it first, then add the vegetables so they cook in the bacon grease. Lewis said it marries the flavors early on.
Below is the recipe for the crab soup:
1 tsp. unsalted butter¼ cup small diced yellow onions½ cup small diced celery1 quart crab stock or (1 quart water, 1 tbsp. crab base or chicken base)½ cup diced tomatoes1 ½ cup mixed vegetables fresh or frozen (green beans, corn, peas, carrots)1 cup small diced green cabbage½ cup small fresh diced potatoes4 oz. crab meat claw4 oz. crab meat lump2 tbsp. tomato paste¾ tsp. old bay or, to taste, 1 tsp. sugar, 1 bay leaf, ¼ tsp. ground oregano, ¼ tsp. ground thyme, 1 tsp. parsley, 2 splashes Tabasco (optional)
Peel and small dice all vegetables, melt butter in a 4-quart pot over medium heat and sauté onions and celery until onions are translucent.
Add the rest of the vegetables and cook for five minutes. Then add herbs and seasonings, diced tomatoes, crab stock and tomato paste.
Bring to a boil then turn heat down and simmer the soup for one hour.
To finish, add the crab meat and Tabasco to taste.
Cook for two minutes, then take off heat and let stand for five minutes.

Another one leaves the trOJan house of shame
"The USC Trojans have released linebacker Glen Stanley from his signed letter of intent. The Trojans had reportedly refused to grant Stanley the release upon his first request last month, with first-year coach Lane Kiffin telling reporters he expected him in fall camp once he had taken care of everything. But Stanley, a product of Eastern Arizona J.C., filed an appeal and hired an attorney, evidently changing the Trojans' stance on the topic." It's like the Titanic... water keeps pouring in, but they'll remain in denial as long as they can about the state of their program... UPDATE: Looks like Glen Stanley was already on our list of Traveler's droppings. This report from WWL states that $c finally released Stanley's LOI yesterday, 7/28.

I had this on tap at the tasting room in Hershey - served chilled in a stange.
The color is dark cocoa brown with a thick beige cap of 2 fingers which leaves ringlets of lace on the glass. The smell is very malt focused with a nutty bready smell with slight biscuit roastiness and light cocoa aroma with mild yeast ester that adds a plum-like scent. The feel is great, a nice balance is struck between mild hoppiness and smooth bitterness under a dark malt toast texture w/ mild sweetness and moderate carbonation with mostly dry finish.
The taste is excellent with slightly creamy nutty flavors w/ slight cocoa and dark fruit with a hint of hops in the finish. The spiciness is noticeable but blends well. Overall this is a pretty complex lager for only being 4.6% I love the way it has some roastiness but doesn't cross into a coffee flavor. I would definitely drink this again, and get a growler of this to share.

Served on-tap at the Brewery. Not really sure why this one was added as a Dunkel as it is clearly a Schwarzbier...
A - Pours pitch black with a creamy one finger tall tan head leaving sticky webs of lace down most of the glass.
S - Smells of slightly smokey dark roasted malt, chocolate, some day old coffee grounds, a bit of caramel and a dash of dulled spicy hops. A little dull initially but it starts to grow into its own as it warms up.
T - Starts off with some mild smokiness quickly giving way to hints of the stale coffee, some chocolate and caramel sweetness and some faint spicy hop bitterness. Finish is surprisingly pretty clean, only leaving the palate dried for a short period of time after each sip.
M - Medium body with moderate carbonation. It has a nice smooth, roasty feel with only a touch of astringency. The low ABV makes it really easy to consume.
O - I wish more brewers would make this style. It packs a good amount of flavor into a moderately sized package. I will be happy to consume a few of these while it lasts.

On-tap 7/20/13 at the Troegs Brewery Tasting Room in Hershey, PA, served in a stange glass.
A: The beer is a dark brown color, with a short off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains chocolate, caramelized malts, lager yeast and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out with a strong chocolate flavor but without a lot of sweetness. Then some breadiness comes in from a hearty malt character and lager yeast. The hops presence is decent for the style and brings a good balance. The after-taste is slightly bready.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
O: Tasty, goes down easily, slightly filling, mild kick, decent representation of style, this is a solid sessionable beer to drink for a long time.

3.71/5 rDev +1.6%
Consumed over 20 minutes outside the tasting room at the brewery.
This beast pours a very dark brown that shows just a hint of red in the bright sun. Opaque, but not thick. A tight lacy head hangs on only briefly.
It smells of malt and spice. Forresty hops are present with a scent of sweet skunk. Grass is apparent. Roasted rye rises to the nose at it warms. A bit stronger smell profile, overall, would be desirable.
The tastes are balanced and even--nothing dominating. Caramel, coffee, lemon...some blackberry and thin smoke, as well. A hint of red berry peeks out from under coffee acids over time. It warms the belly as if the season is cooler, even though the enthanol is difficult to sense in the mouth. More forward presentation of the same flavor profile, I'd have preferred.
This brew is smooth and creamy to start. Later, it is mildly drying to the membranes with a small pierce of carbonation. A bit more heft would be nice, but the upside is that it's very drinkable due to the low alcohol content.
Overall, this is quite an enjoyable beer, and great with marinated barbecue pork. Nice contrast between appearance and taste--just a bit more of everything would have been...better.

M: medium body and carbonation. It is lighter than expected for color and overall taste however.
O: certainly worthy of a try. A nice play with bitter and smoke that is easy to drink and pair with food. I would not say it stands alone strong on its own, but with food- a nice complement

Current ResearchVapor-liquid equilibria of alcohol-hydrocarbon mixtures. In this study, ternary systems which contain two associating (hydrogen bonding) species and a single nonassociating species are examined. The project consists of obtaining new experimental data, developing new data reduction models and developing new solution models that account both for self and cross association of hydrogen bonding species using the infinite equilibria model. More recently, I have begun collaborating with Dr. W.E. Acree Jr., at the University of North Texas, in testing solution models for their ability to represent both VLE and solubility data. Also, I am co-advising (with Dr. Venkat Bhethanabotla, USF) a student who is studying hydrogen bonding in alcohols via Monte Carlo simulation. Of particular interest is the study (via both simulation and experiment) of the effect of isomer structure on alcohol association.
Vapor-liquid equilibria in other associated systems. Here, systems in which species associate or form complexes with other species are examined. For example, studies of the acetone-chloroform-toluene system and the chloroform-acetone-methyl ethyl ketone system have been completed. The binary systems have been represented by a monomer-dimer association model in which structures reported in the literature are incorporated. Prediction of the ternary data is excellent and requires no additional information beyond that obtained from the binary systems. Currently, I am developing a solution model that may be applied to systems containing any number of associating species, each having an arbitrary number of bonding sites.
Vapor-liquid equilibria of systems comprised of electrolytes in mixed solvents. The systems under examination in this study are comprised of a single nonvolatile electrolyte in a mixed solvent. The first part of the project involved using literature data to show the feasibility of obtaining future data via the total pressure method. The second part of the project involved obtaining vapor-liquid equilibrium data for ternary mixtures and developing solution models for their prediction and representation.
Phase equilibria of polymer-solvent mixtures. An apparatus which uses a quartz crystal to measure sorption of solvent vapors in a polymer film coated on the crystal has been built. The apparatus is used to measure solvent activities in the solvent-polymer mixtures in the range of approximately 10 to 30 weight percent of solvent. Tests have been completed for binary mixtures of polystyrene with benzene, toluene or chloroform. Agreement with literature data is excellent and new studies with other polymers and solvents will be made. This project is also in collaboration with V. R. Bhethanabotla, an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at USF.

NJIT To Award Britain Materek of Parsippany Second Bachelor's Degree
Britain Materek, of Parsippany, earned a degree in economics four years ago. But upon graduating, he realized he'd made a mistake. He'd rather be a civil engineer. So, he promptly enrolled at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for a second bachelor's degree. "I've always been a problem solver and curious about how things work," Materek said.
Three scholarships, two honor societies and one almost-perfect grade-point average later, Materek will walk down the aisle May 17, 2007 at Continental Airlines Arena, Secaucus, to receive at NJIT's annual graduation his coveted civil engineering degree. Behind him will be memories of leading NJIT's steel bridge team, which competes nationally to show off innovative designs and techniques. He won't be able to forget either his participation in NJIT's seismic student team—the group that designed a theoretical building model to withstand earthquakes. The innovative idea recently took a top national engineering award for structural innovation.
(ATTENTION EDITORS: Materek will be available for interviews, 8:30 a.m.-noon, May 17 at the Arena. Call Sheryl Weinstein prior to event at office (973-596-3436) or at event by cell (974-650-6489) for photos or interview. High-resolution photos sent upon request.)
Teachers have appreciated this young man's thirst for knowledge. "Britain is an excellent civil engineering student who has clearly demonstrated a natural aptitude for conceptual and detailed design," said Walter Konon, chairman of the civil engineering department. "He has shown outstanding leadership and is heavily involved in activities."
Last summer Britain worked as an intern for Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineering, in Manhattan. The firm's work includes soil and rock studies, foundations and geotechnical engineering—Britain's favorite specialty of civil engineering. Next year he will attend the University of Texas at Austin for his master's degree in this area.
"The professors in the civil engineering department at NJIT have been great and I've learned so much from them," said Britain. "Coming to NJIT has done just what I had hoped it would do—expand my horizons and give me the information I was looking for."

Greetings! Although I have experience in coding for mobile platforms, I am a noob in terms of Symbian developing.
I need to write an application that will run on a Symbian powered mobile device. The application will work with the GSM modem via AT commands and will do some HTTP posts.
What I have: Nokia Ngage QD, MS VS6, .NET 2003, .NET 2005, Carbide.C++, NetBeans. I have installed the SDK for S60 1st edition. Now the problem is that I can't find an appropiate developing tool that will work with my Ngage QD S60 1st edition. My first choice was Carbide.vs (since I have experience in developing under VS) but when installing it I get an error message stating that Visual Studio .NET 2003 is not installed (although it is!). I even tried it on a vmware machine where I installed WINXP, VS.NET 2003, the SDK for 1st Ed... and the same error.
At this point I don't care what language I use to write my application. However, from Java it is impossible to send AT commands due to the platform limitations and my Ngage won't support the latest developing tools. Besides waiting to acquire a S60 2nd Edition device what other options do I have?
What tools do you use with your S60 1st edition? Please, just take me step by step with links for download. I have licenceses for most of the developing envoirements and OSes so this will not be a problem and I can setup different vmware machines to test it out... I just need a kick start.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!
