A couple of us on staff at the Press-Enterprise write primarily about education issues, but there's plenty of education to go around, so many of our colleagues also write about education issues in their communities or on their beats.
David Olson, our multicultural affairs reporter, wrote a fascinating story over the weekend about the impact of Sherman Indian High School and other Indian boarding schools on Indian culture, especially in the schools' early years. Watch the video above and check out David's story HERE. David also has a blog on the issue HERE.

OUT YONDER: West Texas' past heroes prominent
Texas Forts Trail literature provided to visitors does not list the numbers of Medal of Honor winners or the large number of generals who served in West Texas before the Indian Wars campaign, but we had plenty — perhaps more than any other location.
A number of years ago, my friend Jerry Ponder wrote a comprehensive history of Fort Mason and its surrounding area. The book, "Training Ground for Generals," was a detailed account of all the Union officers who served in the area before the Civil War.
These men, who provided the leadership for the 2nd U.S. Dragoons, later designed the 2nd Cavalry and also provided the top leadership to both the Confederate and Union armies. Among them were Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, Albert Sidney Johnston, John Bell Hood, Earl Van Dorn, Fitzhugh Lee, E. Kirby Smith, George H. Thomas, William J. Hardee and Philip St. George Cooke.
Recently Fort Concho historian Evelyn Lemons presented a program on Medal of Honor recipients who served at San Angelo's historic landmark. Among those awarded Medal of Honor during Civil War service were Eugene Beauharnais Beaumont; Peter Martin Boehm; John Porter Hatch, the first commander of Fort Concho; and Henry W. Lawton.
Boehm earned his Medal of Honor in a fight at Dinwiddie Courthouse, Va., while aiding Gen. George Custer. He took the colors from the bearer and rode in front of a line that was being driven back, rallying his troops to repulse the Confederate charge.
The other 24 men wearing the Medal of Honor at Fort Concho during service here earned the honor while fighting Indians in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Wyoming. The only Medal of Honor winner to receive the award for a fight near San Angelo was Sgt. Emanuel Stance, for gallantry on a scout after Indians at Kickapoo Springs in 1870.
William Wilson, a sergeant in the 4th Cavalry, was a rarity. He earned the Medal of Honor twice, once in a fight with cattle thieves in New Mexico and the second in a fight with Indians on the Red River several months later.
The Medal of Honor was not created until the Civil War, so heroic deeds performed by soldiers were just made a part of their service record by certificate of merit, Lemons noted, adding that medals given for certain acts in those years would not be worthy enough now.
During the Indian Wars, 426 soldiers were honored for bravery in combat, of which 13 were given posthumously. There were 1,522 awarded for the Civil War, 32 posthumously, and 464 for World War II actions, 266 posthumously.
West Texas has delivered a number of heroes to our nation. We need more now to save this country from financial ruin.
Thought for the week: No one ever injured their eyesight by looking on the bright side of things.
I'll be seeing you Out Yonder.

Jurors hear interview with San Angelo man telling of wife's death
Suspect told agent, 'I have nothing to hide'
GUNNISON, Colo. — Jurors listened to a 40-minute interview of Frederick Mueller on Wednesday, detailing his account of his wife's death — an audio recording taken the day after Leslie Mueller died.
In that interview he told Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Rosa Perez the same story he told investigators the day before.
"Ask me anything you want," he said. "I have nothing to hide."
Mueller mentioned his two daughters crying at home and his desire to go to them.
"I'm assuming at one point you're going to tell me I can go home," he said.
Frederick Mueller is on trial in the death of his first wife, Leslie Mueller, who died in 2008 near their vacation home in Lake City, about 55 miles south of Gunnison.
He said his wife had fallen off a cliffside trail to her death. Her body was found in a creek, her head submerged beneath a log.
Mueller was arrested in San Angelo last February and has remained in Gunnison County Jail since his extradition. Earlier Wednesday, testimony continued with Hinsdale Coroner Jerry Gray.
He told defense attorney Mike DeGeurin that when he offered condolences to Mueller, Mueller's demeanor appeared "flat." During further cross-examination Gray said he shouldn't have commented on Mueller's reaction.
Gray said he did not take measurements May 3, but that night began to think that the creek's current wasn't strong enough to easily drag somebody from the spot Leslie Mueller allegedly fell to the spot her body was found. He considered getting into the water the next day, but made no preparations.
For the first time, San Angelo witnesses were called — two of whom used to work for Mueller.
Pamela Chastain said she never saw Frederick and Leslie argue. She said that the family was private and that there was an understood motto among people who worked for Mueller that "loose lips equal pink slips."
Chastain, who worked for the family about four years, cooked, did laundry, shopped for groceries and ran errands for the couple.
"They were a private family," she said. "They didn't want their business talked about."
Next on the stand were Jeanne Barnes and her husband, Kye Barnes. Both testified they knew the Muellers. Jeanne Barnes, who worked for Mueller about six years, went to the same church with the couple for years, and their children went to school together.
She said she was friends with Mueller, but his interest in her at times made her uncomfortable. Barnes said Mueller would call or text her after work hours about both work and personal matters.
She testified that during a conversation in 2007, she and Mueller talked about vacations, which led to him saying that his and Leslie's interests were "growing apart." She liked the mountains, and he liked to vacation in Las Vegas, for example.
"What else did he say?" the prosecution asked.
"Just that the marriage had grown old and stale," Barnes said. "That it was the same old, same old."
Barnes said Mueller asked her if she had ever considered divorce and that he had considered it himself several times.
Upon cross-examination, DeGeurin asked if Barnes had ever seen violence between Mueller and his wife, to which she answered no. She also testified that Leslie, who had a desk at Mueller's business, would walk to his desk and give him a kiss before going to her desk.
Also called to testify was Hinsdale County Undersheriff Justin Casey.
Casey, who was a deputy in 2008, explained the landscape along Cottonwood Creek. He testified that the snow beside the rock where Leslie Mueller allegedly fell was not disturbed.

For the past week, I have been hyping myself up over tomorrows game with the Pats. Anyone reading my posts or comments will have seen me say that Tebow will out Brady Brady. Ive stuck with this comment and stand by it because I believe that is how the Broncos will win this game.
So, for the past week, I have been watching all the shows and listenig on XM radio to all the commentary and
not unexpectedlty, everyone is picking the Pats to kill us. Now I have missed some shows and am not in my car at all times, so I dont know if anyone outside of Bronco Country is picking us to win. I will say this though. I like the us vs. the world mentality this creates and in my estimation, this little psychological lift could be the spark that allows the Broncos to put another "W" in the win column.
Let the MSM make the "easy" pick; let them pick apart Tebow; let them say our defense cant stop the Pats. I for one say go ahead and disregard us. We here in Bronco Country prefer it that way and to us, thats ok!

Perfect spot
This was a wonderful place for three 50-somethings. Lovely deck for eating outside, pool and hot tub a few steps away. The complex was quiet. We could walk to town and to Nearby hikes and biking trails. Owner is very accommodating and organized. We'll be back!
Condo Stay
I live in Ketchum and had family coming to visit, looked for a condo and this one caught my eye. It worked out perfectly. No stairs for my mother and was wonderfully decorated. The parking garage is wonderful and so close to everything in Ketchum. John was very helpful when we accidently left something in the condo and helped arrange getting back our beloved item. I highly recommend this lovely condo. It was PERFECT for my family. Very comfortable and convenient place to stay! Highly recommend!
Amazing Family Reunion!
We just had our family reunion here, and it was a favorite for young and old. We booked it because the lodge looked perfect for a gathering of families, which it was. The kids loved the bunk room, game room, and movie projection screen. The adults loved having our own space within the lodge as well as a large gathering room for socialization. The kitchen was well equipped for our crowd, too. Many were blown away by the beauty of the area and the abundance of things to do there. Some were already thinking about when they were going to make it back to McCall and some suggested that we should just have our next reunion at the Conifer Lodge again.

World Series of Fighting will host its first four-man middleweight tournament as David Branch vs. Danillo Villefort and Elvis Mutapcic vs. Jesse Taylor joins World Series of Fighting 5: Johnson vs. Kyle. Both bouts are slated to appear on the event's main card alongside a headlining light heavyweight fight between Anthony Johnson and Mike Kyle. The tournament's winners will move on to face each other for the 185lbs crown at a later event.
World Series of Fighting 5: Johnson vs. Kyle takes place Sept. 14, 2013 from Revel Resorts & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
UFC vet Branch makes his third WSOF appearance after decision wins over Paulo Filho and Dustin Jacoby while Villefort is 5-1 in his past six fights. Most recently topping TUF 16 cast member Sam Alvey, Mutapcic relinquishes his Maximum Fighting Championship title to face another 'Ultimate Fighter' vet in Jesse Taylor. Never really hitting a stride in the UFC, Taylor has gone on to claim various middleweight titles in smaller promotions.
As with the promotion's previous events, WSOF 5 will be available live on NBC Sports Network at 9 p.m. EST. Preliminary bouts will be streamed on WSOF.com at 6:30 p.m. EST.

Mirroring the trend on the consumer side, fewer public corporations sought bankruptcy protection last year, a new study shows.
Just 71 public-companies sought protection from creditors in 2013, down from 87 in 2012 and well below the levels in recession years 2008 and 2009, reported BankruptcyData.com, a firm in Quincy, Mass., that provides corporate-bankruptcy information.
Also, the biggest corporate filers last year were hardly household names. Cengage Learning topped the list, showing pre-filing assets of $7.5 billion, followed by Penson Worldwide at $6.2 billion and Dex One Corp. at $2.8 billion.
That compares with the largest corporate filing, Lehman Brothers, which had $691 billion in assets before it went under in 2008. That year, 138 public companies with $1.16 trillion in assets sought bankruptcy help, followed by 211 firms with $594 billion in assets in 2009.
The declining corporate-bankruptcy trend mirrors that on the consumer side. Nationally, bankruptcies fell 13 percent in 2013, while filings in Arizona and around the Phoenix metro area each tumbled 19 percent. The Valley total of 1,042 filings marked a 67-month low, according to information provided by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Phoenix.
Generally, corporate balance sheets have been improving, and hundreds of companies are flush with cash. However, the BankruptcyData.com report speculated that the declining corporate trend could reverse this year, as a number of companies that raised large amounts of debt haven't refinanced or restructured it.

Reviews for this vacation chalet rental in Helen, Georgia

Beautiful home
July 13, 2014
Beautiful cabin. Had everything we needed. Wish the hot tub was on the deck instead of ground floor (plus there were no chairs on the lower floor porch). Other than that- no complaints!!

The views are spectacular!
December 2, 2013
Our family stayed in Bald Eagle Lodge for Thanksgiving week. We had a wonderful time and were not disappointed in the house. The road up Yonah Mountain is a dirt and gravel road, but a Jeep Compass, a Honda CRV, and a Kia Sportage had no problems with the ascent. The house has a new hot tub that is very nice, and you can sit in it and drink in the mountain views. The kitchen is equipped with what you will need. It is not spotlessly clean, but it isn't dirty. The cleaning crew could spend more time on dusting to improve the overall cleanliness. The bathrooms were clean and the linens were freshly laundered. There are a couple of houses close by and you share part of the driveway with two of them. But, there aren't any windows on that side where the neighbors are and the hot tub is in a private area. The owner, Walter, is easy to work with and easy to reach if we had any questions. I recommend Bald Eagle Lodge for your next getaway.

We Loooooooved this cabin and the area. Our chapter wanted a location close to home where we could bond and plan our upcoming calendar year. A success on both points. The chapter members are still talking about our experience and missing all the fun we had. We will definitely use this location again. Thank you Walter!!!

This vacation property was everything that it promised to be. Great space, clean, large rooms and an awesome view with a hot tub! The only exception is the drive up to the house is pretty rough. Make sure you take it slow or you will need an alignment when the vacation is over.

Good House...Great Views!!!
January 3, 2012
I spent a few nights here for NYE 2011/2012 and had a great time. The views from this house are spectacular. The house itself was very nice and we had no real problems. The kitchen is well stocked with just about anything you'd need to cook and eat. We found everything we used to be in working order. The house (especially the basement area) could use a little work in the painting and patching department but this isn't going to ruin your time here. The value for the price is exceptional and I'd recommend this place to just about anyone. Bottom line, if you like the mountains and relaxing, you'll enjoy this place. If you are used to white gloved service in pristine environments, find the nearest Ritz Carlton. The road to the house was bumpy but nothing out of the ordinary for a mountain road.

Henry Weinhard's Brewing has a long history in Oregon that is coming to an end with the news that the brand's owner SAB Miller, will not renew its brewing contract with Hood River's Full Sail Brewing.
As a child, the downtown Portland Weinhard brewery was my first experience with the fermentation process. I remember spending weekends downtown and smelling the sour, pungent aroma of fermentation blowing out the roof of the historic brewing plant. I hated that smell at the time, but it was so unique that the aromas have been engrained into my memory. The Blitz-Weinhard brewery existed from 1856 until 1999, when Stroh Brewery, which owned it at the time, sold the brand to SAB Miller, which immediately closed the brewery and moved production to Olympia Brewery. Olympia shut down several years later and the contract moved to Full Sail. When the original brewery was closed, a huge urban renewal project for the then mostly abandoned warehouse neighborhood turned the building into the Brewery Blocks, where Henry's 12th Street Tavern was built in a project that ushered in the creation of the Pearl District.
Henry Weinhard's produces popular bottled sodas as well, and sells enough beer in the state to be ranked 4th among the top 10 Oregon brewers by taxable barrels, Full Sail comes in behind them at 7th, based on the most recent OLCC report in June 2012. As important as Henry Weinhard's has been to Portland, the brand has been just as critical for Full Sail.
Since 2003, Henry's beers have been brewed in downtown Hood River at Full Sail and have provided a significant boost and cash flow for its makers. It was a lifeline that has helped Full Sail continue to grow. Now that line will be cut after March of 2013, when SAB Miller will end its contract with Full Sail. This is big news for Oregon craft beer and another end to Henry's, as SAB Miller attempts to franchise the brand by opening more Henry's Taverns across the country and brewing and distributing the beers regionally. I spoke to Full Sail Brewing's co-Founder and CEO on Friday to confirm the news and find out how this would affect her brewery:
"Miller has decided to move the production to one of their breweries. they want to go national with the brand and they thought that made more sense. The contract was up for renewal and so it was just the natural process of it."
"We have been very happy with that relationship, it's going to have been 10 years now. It's really enabled us to get in a whole lot stronger financial position and for an independent brewery it's not a bad place to be in. It's enabled us to invest in the brewery and be good for the brewers and not get into a whole lot of debt which is a really good place. We are grateful for having had it, we wont be doing it after 2013. "
I am sad to see Henry's leaving the state, though I have not drank their beer for years, nor am I a big fan of the 12th Street Tavern. It is still a part of Portland brewing lore, and Henry Weinhard himself was such a legend and pioneer. Stories about about the late Mr. Weinhard including the most famous when he offered to pipe in his beer to all the water fountains in downtown Portland abound. Now the Henry's brand is being co-opted and marketed as a Portland institution on the taproom's website, with plans to open a new Henry's Tavern soon in Seattle and another coming to Plano, TX. Its legacy will always be with Portland, but we can no longer call it our own.
More with Full Sail Brewing's Irene Firmat on the craft beer business and the future of Full Sail tomorrow on The New School.

Mikhail Gorbachev's day guest editing the Winnipeg Free Press
For the first time in the newspaper's history, The Winnipeg Free Press welcomed a guest editor to its pages. Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was at the helm of Free Press for Tuesday's print edition.
Gorbachev was in Winnipeg to give the keynote speech at We Day Manitoba, an event for which The Free Press was a major sponsor. According to its website, We Day Manitoba was attended by 18,000 youths.
Gorbachev, who was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 until its dissolution in 1991, wrote an editorial for the Free Press that outlined his contemporary concerns for the planet. He wrote:
I urge young people to question leaders about what they are doing to address the main challenges that face the world today:
-- What are you doing for the abolition of nuclear arms and for reduction of military spending?
-- What are you doing to bridge the divide between wealth and poverty?
-- What are doing to save our planet from environmental disaster?
The Free Press reported on Monday that "Under Gorbachev's editorial direction, the Free Press will produce stories throughout all sections of the paper that not only reflect the themes he wants addressed but also connect with today's youth, a generation that fills him with hope for the future"
Through a translator, Gorbachev, 81, approved the front page of Tuesday's print edition of the Free Press with editor Paul Samyn. As Nick Martin reported, Samyn told Gorbachev: "You told our reporters what you wanted to see, and we tried to have our paper reflect that."

Mosquito Coast, also spelled Miskito, Spanish Costa de Mosquitos, coastal region of Nicaragua and Honduras. It comprises a band approximately 40 miles (65 km) wide of lowland that skirts the Caribbean Sea for about 225 miles (360 km). Although it was visited by Columbus in 1502, Europeans had little contact with the area until the rise of the buccaneers in the 17th century, after which the English established a protectorate over the Miskito Indians, for whom the region is named. Spain, Nicaragua, and the United States disputed this claim until the matter was finally settled by the occupation of the Mosquito Coast by the Nicaraguan government and by the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850 between the United States and Great Britain.
The Mosquito Coast's principal city is Bluefields; other centres, also in Nicaragua, are Puerto Cabezas and San Juan del Norte. A majority of the population is Miskito Indian.

We've all been diligently discussing the draft, and the consensus seems to be that this is a Point Guard draft. But we also need depth up front as well, so assuming we don't pick up Griffin or Thabeet in the draft, and Petrie doesn't feel worthy of resigning a demi-god in Ike Diogu, I think we should look at Marcin Gortat, aka The Polish Hammer.
via d.yimg.com
Gortat backs up Dwight Howard. As you might imagine, he doesn't get too much playing time because of that. But he does a lot with the minutes he does get. In around 13 mpg this season, Gortat averaged 4.5 rebounds (1.5 offensive), and .8 blocks. His scoring is minimal at around 4 points a game but most of his points come around the basket, leading to a 56% FG%. In Game 6 of Orlando's series against Philadelphia, Gortat started in the place of Dwight Howard. He scored 11 points, had 15 rebounds, 2, assists, 4 steals, and only 4 fouls in 40 minutes. On the bad side of the spectrum he didn't have any blocks and 3 turnovers.
The man is not a Petrie style big. He cannot shoot. But he could be the defensive, low post rotation big we need for depth. The only thing is he's a restricted Free Agent so the Magic would be able to match any offer we give.
This guy has spent the last season and a half practicing with Dwight Howard and being taught by Patrick Chewing. He could be a great pickup for the Kings.

FIFTY years ago 19-year-old Mary Williams gave birth to her first-born at Albury Base Hospital.
The baby, born with a scar on his brain, weighed just four pounds and the outlook was grim.
"The doctor came in and said 'Look, I think the baby needs to be baptised'," she remembered.
The priest from St Matthew's was ushered in to bless the newborn but five decades later that baby is still beating the odds.
East Albury's Mark Williams has survived two bouts of cancer and another terminal prognosis from the doctor.
Mr Williams spent nine "terrible" months in the Royal Melbourne Hospital about five years ago after being diagnosed with leukaemia and had half a lung removed.
Then, 10-months ago, he was diagnosed with mouth cancer but beat that too.
The avid North Albury and Carlton Football Club supporter said he got his birthday present early this week when he braved a trip back to hospital for his check up and was told his blood tests were "perfect".
If his local team could get a win in its Anzac Day clash that would be icing on the cake.
"I like Aker, he's a good coach," Mr Williams said.
"They'll give Albury a good run for their money on Thursday."
Despite having epilepsy and an intellectual disability, Mr Williams drives, cooks and works for Aware Industries in Wodonga.
And he attends every North Albury training session and game.
Mrs Williams said she was proud of her son for making it this far and had lashed out on an electric shaver for his milestone birthday.
"He's got his loving ways. Before he goes to bed he says 'Good night mum, I'll always love you'," she said.
Mr Williams said his mother has always been there to support him when needed.
"When I had cancer she's the only one who said I would live. Everyone else thought I would pass away," he said.

Can you spell "Quinceanera"?
Crikey ... I had to look that one up. And I've been to hundreds of 'em. Even been to a "Cinceanera" for crying out loud.
Today is the day. Mah homies in Papa Dulce are getting dressed up and taking a stroll down the aisle and Kato, Gerald and me are the padrinos over in the corner getting stupid on nothing but nostalgia. Click on the lick if you can can stand it.
Papa Dulce @ Concrete Street circa 2005
I'm not gonna write a Papa Dulce history kids. Lisa Hinojosa's story in Weekend was plenty good and I know there's a couple of write-ups by past C-T writers in the archive if you search for 'em. So rather than try to improve on great work (which I can't) .... let's just talk about the best PD moments ... those classic chin-scratchers that you've never forgotten.
10) The first PD show I ever saw was in San Marcos, my home for freshman and sophomore years. By the time PD was active, I was on 'sabbatical' from the university life and doing time as a minimum wager. I remember the boys playing lots of pop at this show and wondering 'what gives?'. Prior to this gig, I knew the PD guys as hardcore punk fans. I had heard that there were melodies and harmonies in their new project but man was it a rush to hear it all coalesce there on that San Marcos stage. I was still pondering that question the next morning at the sweat shop.
9) The "Salami Mayo Sampson" EP on Twin Triangle. Sweet Daddy on a 45? Who'd a thunk it?
8) The two year anniversary weenie roast at EJ's Sportsbar in '94. When my band hit two years, I remember thinking ... man,we gotta get some mileage under our belts. PD? They hosted a weenie roast.
7) PD moves to Houston. Everybody and their mother moved to Austin -- the one hip city in the state -- and where does SD move to? Bayou City. Guts, people. Let's call that guts and move on.
6) PD adds pop to the hardcore and metal overload that is the "Victims of Hate and Violence" 2xEP. Truth be told ... there was one other pop band on that release (from Colorado, me thinks) and I guess they were decent but SD were/are homies and so we must pay tribute. Got an extra copy that I'll sell you for $100.
5) Jerry Moore does Willem Dafoe in "Platoon" as he spills outside a mini-van in Austin circa 1996. To his credit, Jerry even sings the key melody build-up in Samuel Barber's remarkable piece, "Adagio" (which I've played, I'll have you know) as he apes Dafoe in disorderly defiant fashion. I think somebody's car got broken into that night. Good times!
4) Sweet Daddy records and releases "The Make". I gotta tell ya ... I remember getting this recording on tape and telling brother Rogelio that he needed to make this a TFC release. He was way ahead of me and said he was trying to make that happen. Some people still swear by that CD. I prefer the Zydeco remix with the accordion solos.
3) PD hits the West Coast for their one and only tour. To be sure, they did it right: they didn't eat ramen for a week or park in a "no parking' zone which ended up costing them the balance of their band fund. And they were smart enough not to even try and play in Canada. But it was a major good time no doubt. Just ask them.
2) Sweet D. records and releases "Bring on The Cherries." Kids, they spent the kitty and then some making this record for ya'll. And you know what? It sure as hell sounds like it too. Would that any of my records sounded that thorough. There's all killer and absolutely no filler on that one. Nathan's got your name on a copy ... $10 at the merch table please.
1) Tonight. Get there early and stay all night. And designate a driver.
A Papa Dulce fan
UPDATE: Here's a couple of killer nuggets that should have made the list but didn't. The first was the great Sweet Daddy/Laughing Stock weekend blitz of '96. The weekend started in San Antonio at the DMZ, if I'm not mistaken. The highlight of that night was nearly getting stomped by some surly looking locals at a bar across the street from the all-ages, no alcohol club we were playing at. On Saturday, we drove out to San Angelo -- eight of us in minivan with a trailer in two -- for a pretty silly show at a party. The host band sounded like Radiohead or something thereabouts which meant their friends totally hated us. We drank, ate and played to our hearts' content and left there with no new converts to our cause -- only enemies. The final night of the weekend was a memorable night at The Blue Flamingo in Austin. Both bands played like their lives depended on it and the crowd was quite friendly. Easily the highlight of the weekend. I chronicled the whole thing and the story ended up in a little book called "Anecdote: Tales from the Road." It's out of print.
The next year, Sweet Daddy and Laughing Stock both had new CDs to sell so we organized a weekend blitz of record store in-stores. Well actually it was more like a four hundred mile twofer. Our first instore was at a now defunct shop on Guadalupe Street in Austin called 33 1/3 Degrees. That one was actually well attended. We had keg beer there and people stuck around to hear the bands play. I remember seeing Tim Kerr there so that was a good time. The next night, we arrived at a Denton record shop called "The X" to approximately two people -- and one of them was getting paid to be there. I think Gerald (Laughing Stock) actually thanked the rock tees for hanging on the rack. Long live rock.
[Gerald actually thanked the rock tees for hanging on the rack.]

So im back in South Florida and i've been allowing my mind to be inundated with crappy talk radio all day long. Its getting really tiresome hearing Joe Rose, Dan Selio and the like bag on the Phins over and over. They don't like Philbin. They still complain about the Brandon Marshall trade constantly. They think the Vontae Davis trade was a big mistake. Ireland can't draft, Philbin has no balls when talking to players. Apparently Ross has never spent money on a player....Dansby comes to mind. But i digress.
What i really want to touch on is the wide receiver situation and the stock piling of draft picks. Are we rebuilding? Yeah, sure. I would have to say we are. And whats wrong with that? We have a coach who is putting his print on the crime scene. People are just irritated because it feels so familiar. Even i'll admit, its a little Cam Camron-eque.
I'm not here to make any judgement on Philbin. The guy hasn't even coached ONE game yet. Not one game people. We have not seen this team compete in a meaningful NFL game. Not once. Its coming. I think it will be a slow start. I think there will be lots of growing pains, up and downs, etc. Remember, Philbin is learning too. He is growing professionally. His job is basically OJT at this point.
On to receivers, everyone is upset that we don't have a face on the core. We don't have that big #1 draft pick. We haven't traded 2 second rounds picks for Mike wallace. We haven't thrown our draft at Dwayne Bowe. Get off the ledge and think about it folks. Why, why in the hell would we do any of that.
Take a quick look at Green Bays "Studs" and just where there were found:
Greg Jennings- 2nd round 52nd overall
Jordy Nelson- 2nd round 36th overall
Donald Driver- 7th SEVENTH round 213th overall
James Jones- 3rd round 78th overall
I don't see too many sexy, big move, make or break draft picks there. Do you? What did we get for Davis (seriously im not sure) a 2nd and a 6th? That's potentially a Greg Jennings and a Donald Driver in exchange for one fat CB. Now i know what you're saying, "Ireland could never find talent like that". Which brings us to our next issue....
I really believe that talent is developed, nurtured and given a chance to grow. The Ireland draft dilemma has been compounded over the last couple years by Tony Sparanos unwillingness to develop players. Sure Ireland hasn't done a superb job but on the other side of that coin, Sparano never really took a chance on a low draft pick/ udfa. Wallace looked pretty darn good in the first preseason game. I know he's been on the roster for a couple years, why has he never gotten the reps? Moore broke one to the house against Oakland a few years ago. Looked pretty promising, then what? We never see him again.
I think Philbin is going to give these types of guys a chance. I think we will be able to develop talent from all over the draft. Alot of people aren't too high on the coach because of he quiet demeanor. I say, so what? Look at Bellicheck, whens the last time you saw him completely fired up and cursing a player out? Actions speak much louder than words, Phinsiders. Philbin has already made some big statements. The popular thinking is now that he can't handle a big personality player: Chad Johnson, Brandon Marshall. Thats not the case. He just doesnt want to deal with their antic and knows that the talent we need is all around us.
Like i said before, im not passing judgement on anything coach does until we have a body of work to look at. Nobody wants to be the training camp champions. I could care less how great we look in July and August. Lets talk in December.

SAVAR, Bangladesh (AP) - Police in Bangladesh say the death toll from a building collapse last week has passed 400.
The eight-story Rana Plaza building housing five garment factories and other offices collapsed onto itself April 24. Workers were still pulling bodies from the rubble Wednesday.
Officials at the police control room said 399 bodies had been pulled from the wreckage and three of the injured had died at the hospital. That brought the death toll to 402 in the tragedy that was considered the worst industrial accident in Bangladesh's history.

Review submitted: September 5, 2012 Date of arrival: August 29, 2012
We are a family of four (kids are 13 and 10) The kids have gotten too big to share a bed and are starting to prefer to not share a room. We looked into hotels in the Hershey area and it was very expensive to get two rooms. I searched the various online rental sites and this property was the most attractive in terms of price, amenities, and location. We booked it and were not disappointed at all!!
The condo was very clean upon arrival and exactly as described. Dave (the rental agent) was incredibly responsive and helpful with some special requests. We had a wonderful vacation and I would, without hesitation, recommend Contemporary Short Term Housing as well as this particular property.

Good , Bad, and Really Bad
Review submitted: October 30, 2012 Date of arrival: August 21, 2012
First...the good- The condo is clean and well stocked with amenities. Owner attempted to help out with info. re: knowledge of area attractions and tried to help fix the air mattress supplied at condo ( missing seal )
This leads to the BAD... a note was left for my daughter to blow up ( by mouth ) if mattress was still not satisfactory filled. Totally inappropriate note !
Now, the REALLY BAD. My first question before renting was, " Is there a bed on the first floor?" I was provided with a VIRTUAL TOUR and written description stating that Master bedroom and bath are on first floor and another bedroom and bath are on upper level.
The listing states that you enter on ground level. It does not state that you need to CLIMB 14 STEPS TO GET TO THE FIRST FLOOR....NOR DOES THE VIRTUAL TOUR SHOW THESE 14 STEPS !!
My wife has disability. That is why I asked if there was bed on first floor. She was so exhausted from the trek up the steps that she was unable to join us (me, my adult daughter and 2 granddaughters from California ) for a late dinner that first night after check-in.
I explained all this in a follow-up note to the owner and thought that he might offer a partial refund for this extreme inconvenience and hardship. He ignored this suggestion in subsequent e-mail.
He said all information was available to me on web site AND that he told me on phone...I was never aware that we would need to climb up MANY steps just to get to living area... or I would have declined to take this rental.
We were stuck ! We were not going to search for another place to stay since it was very late.
In summary, please be aware that this is an adequate place to stay UNLESS you have difficulty navigating stairs and ALSO have HEAVY LUGGAGE to haul up LONG stairway ! Good luck !
We used Vacation Rentals for a stay in Ocean City, MD last year and the bed was indeed on the first floor...no steps. It was a totally accurate description unlike Hershey. We were very happy with that place and so we tried Vacation Rentals this year too.
Recommended for: adventure seekers
Owners response:
It is unfortunate that you decided to be inaccurate in the description of your stay with us. I will not belabor your comments other than to say. You were completely informed of the unit's configuration in April and there was no note or verbal conversation asking your daughter to blow the air mattress up by mouth. I inflated the mattress with the provided battery operated pump after you indicated you could not. The missing (cosmetic) outer seal was installed the day after it was found missing. The mattress was neither broken nor defective.
Our properties are booked solid every year and we have no reason or desire to mislead guests as you have suggested. The four nights you booked in April for your stay in August could have been rented to numerous others. If we were aware the hardship the stairs would create for your wife I would have suggested you find a different property. As owners all we can do is explain what we have to offer. That was done both verbally and with the virtual tour. The suitability of the property for your specific needs and the final decision to rent is up to you.
I am sorry you were not totally satisfied, but with all due respect, for you to ask for a refund two months after you departed is a bit suspicious.
Our other guest comments speak for themselves.

The best ever
Review submitted: October 18, 2012 Date of arrival: July 29, 2012
The description did not begin to inform us of how well we would love this property. Amenities, layout and location were well above par it was unbelievably clean and neat. It looked as if we were the first people in it. Everything worked, the owner and staff were wonderful, and customer service was all that one could ask for. We highly recommend this property and Dave especially for all travelers. We tried several local restaurants and found them all acceptable. We were in the area to visit friends, family and Gettysburg. We also tried Root's market, the Green Dragon, Lancaster Farmer's Market, and local stores. We enjoyed them all as we have not been back for twenty years. We had no bad experiences and will gladly use Dave in the future for lodging needs

Very clean & comfortable condo with everything we could possibly need in good working order. We appreciated the proximity to all the places we had on our list to visit which included Gettysburg, Hershey and Lancaster. We chose it for the pool but were so busy with sightseeing everyday we found the condo a great place to relax in the evening. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are very nice.
Dave is a great person to work with. He was always available via telephone and very helpful.

Great Rental
Review submitted: August 31, 2010 Date of arrival: August 26, 2010
What a great townhouse!!!!!We loved our visit to Pennsylvania. We (2 adults and 4 children ages 8-10) had the perfect accomodations. We decided to go for a last minute vacation to Hersey Park. The location was 20 minutes away from the park which was a perfect escape. The property was emaculate; very clean; and modern; the bedding was extremely comfy.The owner Dave was very accomodating and his neice Jenn greeted us at the door upon arrival. She gave us a tour of the townhouse and answered all my questions.I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting or staying in this area. We visited Hersey Park however the property is in a great vicinity very close to the outlets if you enjoy shopping and many resteraunts close by

Great Family Place
Review submitted: July 23, 2010 Date of arrival: July 7, 2010
This condo was perfect for our family. We were there for 1 week and it was the best choice we could have made for our trip to PA. It was a great location, super clean, and way better and actually more affordable for us than a hotel for the week. We loved that we could spread out and make ourselves at home. Our kids even enjoyed making a fort in the huge closet in the upstairs bedroom. The pool was perfect for us too. It was HOT while we were there. It was an altogether beautiful and quiet area with friendly people. The only negative I have is that we are now spoiled! It has set a new standard for our vacation lodging!

July 4th Weekend

This was a great place to stay. It was convenient to Hershey, Lancaster and Gettysburg. The neighbors are extremely nice. Dave is very easy to work with and greets you when you check in. Unfortunately can't rate the pool since we were way to busy to sight see. I did not check that this is a great place for young children since the loft area could be tricky with kids who are not well behaved. We had absolutely no problem with our 2 and 1/2 year old since she stayed downstairs except to sleep and did not go near the steps. Great having master downstairs and other bedroom up so easily 2 couples could rent this and get privacy.

I LOVE this condo. It's better than the pictures showing. The place is clean and fully furnish. We was so amaze how the place look. Even my four years old enjoyed it so much that he doesn't want to leave the condo. It's ashame we only stayed five days. I recommend this to anyone who looking to go to Harrisburg, Lancaster, or surrounding areas. And most of all Dave is very friendly to talk to. He always keep us on track.

As with any business, paid surveys have a lot of pros as well as a lot of cons. Let's discuss some of them.
The Pros
- You can join for free. One of the best things about paid surveys is that you can join up and try them out for free, which means there's no risk. Let's say, in the worst case, that you accidentally sign up with a site that turns out to be a scam. The good thing is, even if it is scam, you don't lose any money because it's free! The only thing you're risking is a little bit of your time.
- Paid surveys are easy. All the questions are easy, and anyone can answer them.
- You can work from the comfort of your own home. Who doesn't love working from home? It's a dream come true for people who are sick of working in cramped offices or crowded registers.
- You have no set working time and no obligations. By joining up with an online survey site, you won't have any obligations such as working time or minimum number of surveys to complete per month. You're absolutely free to do whatever you want. If you want make money, do it. If you don't want to make money, then don't. It's up to you.
- You don't need any special skills. These companies are interested in hearing the opinion of all kinds of people no matter what gender, age, education, income, profession, and so on. That's why everyone's welcome to sign up, no matter what their skill-set is.
- You can start in as little as 10 minutes. Yes, believe it or not, you can start making money right away. All you need to do is to register.
The Cons
I don't want to talk too much about the cons of this great opportunity because paid surveys are practically free money for me. Personally, I enjoy this kind of work, but let me just mention several things that not everyone may appreciate.
- You won't become a millionaire. Unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers who say that you'll start making millions online in less than a week. Don't trust them. Surveys won't make you a millionaire; they're just a way to make some extra money. If your intent is to become an Internet millionaire, then I'm sorry, but this blog isn't for you. You may be asking, "So how much will I make, then?" Actually, payment varies from site to site. I make about $500 – $1,000 per month, but I don't like to sit in front of my computer all day. I only work part time. If you do this all day, you'll be able to make more than $1,000. How much more? Try it and see!
- By signing up for all those online survey sites, you're bound to get some spam mail. If you join a lot of surveys you'll receive a lot of messages every day. However, there's an easy solution: just create another email address for registering with these sites.
- The work isn't too interesting. Frankly, I enjoy completing online surveys, but I'm sure there will be people who think it's not so interesting. However, if you want to make money, you'll have to work even if the job isn't so interesting. Don't lose hope, though. Some surveys are more interesting than others. For example, some companies may want you to watch movies, or they might send you products to test.

Cranberry and the Health Benefits
Those bright red berries traditionally served as sauce, relish, or in stuffings, also carry health benefits.
The most well known health benefit of cranberry is for urinary problems.
Science has discovered that they carry a combination of five types of antioxidants. Cranberry also contains three special phytonutrients, thus when combined with the antioxidants, the berry provides many benefits.
Emerging data suggests the berry may benefit:
Dental Health, by helping reduce harmful plaque that leads to gum disease
Cardiovascular Health, by supporting the reduction of LDL cholesterol levels and raising levels of HDL cholesterol in the blood, help to reduce blood pressure, and prevent the formation of blood clots.
Anti Cancer, Science has determined that compounds in the fruit can inhibit the formation of cancer cells.
It is most important to eat the berry and not just drink the juice. The whole fruit shows the most benefit.
Quick simple relish
3 red delicious apples
3 ripe bananas
1 bag fresh/frozen cranberries (if frozen - do not thaw before processing)
Optional: sweetener to taste
Fork-mash bananas and set aside.
Wash and cut apples into chunks. In a food processor or blender, pulse-blend apples and cranberries one handful at a time making sure to keep the fruit slightly chunky. Scoop out mixture as necessary.
Mix ingredients together. Best when chilled
As for any specific health concerns or benefits, do your research and consult a health professional.
The recipe looks delish!
Mmmmmm!!! This sounds so yummy! I think that I'd use a few drizzles of honey to sweeten to taste and then dip graham crackers in it! Yum!

SUNY Empire State College
Harvard University
1737 Cambridge Street
Cambridge, Mass. 02138
617 495 8562
I am assistant professor of public affairs and mentor at the Metropolitan Center, Brooklyn Unit, of the State University of New York Empire State College. I am on leave for academic year 2013-14, during which time I am the William Lyon Mackenzie King Research Fellow at Harvard University (where I am also a lecturer on history). I received my Ph.D. in history from Duke University in 2010. I study the working-class and labor history of North America, with a focus on urban disasters, working-class organizations, and migration. My prize-winning dissertation, "Cities of Comrades: Urban Disasters and the Formation of the North American Progressive State," examined the overlapping responses of individuals, families, civil society, and the state to the Salem, Mass., Fire of 1914, and the Halifax, N.S., Explosion of 1917. My book, Disaster Citizenship, based on that dissertation, will be published in 2015 by the University of Illinois Press. I served twice as executive secretary of the Labor and Working-Class History Association, and I am a founding member of the Southern Labor Studies Association and the Labor Research and Action Network. I have received awards from the Canadian Committee on Labour History, the Labor and Working-Class History Association, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Josephine De Kármán Foundation, Duke University, and Yale University. I got a B.A. in history from Yale University in 2002 and an M.A. in history from Duke in 2006.
My teaching and mentoring interests are related to my research. I lead study groups in disaster studies, human rights, history of the welfare state, ethics, and American government. I also teach modern American history, immigration history and policy, labor history, Canadian history, and U.S.-Canada relations.
My historical work informs and inspires contemporary interests in the labor movement, urban affairs, and disaster response. I tweet regularly on these topics (and others) as @jacremes. My popular writing has appeared in The Nation, Salon, the News and Observer, Alternet, Truth-Out, and on various blogs. The Spring 2010 issue of the Kenan Institute for Ethic's newsletter Ethics in Action contains an interview with me about the ethics of disaster relief (you can download a pdf of the entire issue instead). Sometimes, reporters ask me for historical or other background on topics about which I have some expertise.
The televisually inclined can watch three vidoes of me presenting or discussing my work. The History News Network put on YouTube an excerpt of my talk at the American Historical Association on Hurricane Katrina and the history of disasters; you can watch that video here. In October 2009, I presented part of my dissertation at the Franklin Humanities Institute's Wednesdays and the Center series; you can download that video from iTunesU. (You can download the maps I reference in the presentation below.) Finally, in February 2010 I was interviewed as part of the Kenan Institute for Ethics's Conversations in Ethics series; you may watch that video here. You can also watch my television interviews about Canada and disasters.

OF and FROM are two of the most common prepositions in English. They are used in a wide variety of situations, but are also often confused. The next paragraph explains the main cause for confusion and is followed by a step by step explanation of the use of both OF and FROM in English.
Many English learners have difficulties understanding the difference between of and from in English. This comes from the fact that a number of languages, including romance languages such as Italian and French, as well as German, use the same preposition for both of and from. For example, In Italian the phrase, I am from Milan or I come from Milan can be translated as, Sono di Milano. The possessive use of 'of' in English can also use the preposition 'di' in Italian. For example, the phrase, He's a friend of ours can be translated into Italian as, E un amico di noi.
In other words, the preposition 'di' in Italian corresponds to the use of both from and of in English. This is true in many languages. In English, however, there is a distinct difference between of and from.
This short guide to the differences between of and from in English should help you avoid English usage mistakes in the future.OF
Of - Possession
Of is mainly used as a possessive. For example,
He's a friend of mine.
The color of the house is red.
It is important to remember that it is more common to use the possessive 's' or the possessive adjective in English, than to use 'of' - even if 'of' is grammatically correct. Thus, the sentences above would generally be in these forms:
He's my friend.
The house's color is red.
Common Phrases with 'Of' - All of / Both of
Of is also commonly used with 'all' and 'both' to describe a common trait that many objects share. For example,
All of the students in the class enjoy volleyball.
Both of the assignments are due at the end of the week.
Common Phrases with 'Of' - One of the most ...
Another common phrase with of is 'one of the + superlative form + plural noun + singular verb'. This phrase is commonly used to focus on a specific object that stands our from a group. Notice that although the plural noun is used, the singular phrase takes the singular conjugation of the verb because the subject is 'One of the ...'. For example,
One of the most interesting things about my job is the people I meet.
One of the most difficult subjects for me is math.
From - Origins
From is generally used to express that something originates from something else, that something comes from somewhere, or some person. For example,
Jack comes from Portland.
This formula derives from the work of Peter Schimmel.
This pearl comes from the South Pacific.
From - To / From - Until
From can also be used with the prepositions 'to' and 'until' to mark the beginning and ending point of time of an action or state. Generally, 'from ... to' is used with past tenses, while 'from ... until' is used when speaking about future actions. However, 'from ... to' can be used in most situations. For example,
I played tennis from two until four in the afternoon yesterday.
We are meeting in Chicago from Monday until Thursday.

Olswang Chief Talks About Planned Growth & Possible Outside Investment
Posted Mar 2, 2010 1:06 PM CDT

Meet David Stewart, managing partner of London-based Olswang. Unhappy with the firm's flat revenue over the past year, he nonetheless expects to see significant growth, both at home and internationally, of his now 650-attorney firm, according to the Law Central blog of the London Times.
He credits "exceptionally talented nonlawyers" at the helm of the firm's operational teams for much of Olswang's success, and says the firm has done well in running itself like a corporation rather than a traditional law partnership. Reducing headcount to maintain an acceptable level of profits during the dismal global economy of 2008-2009, however, was his hardest decision as managing partner.
Olswang is now looking to expand its corporate technology practice in Europe, Stewart tells the Times. It also is open to the possibility of outside investment in the firm by nonattorneys, which British law is being changed to permit. However, it isn't yet clear how outside money might optimally be used to help larger commercial firms accelerate their growth and develop what Stewart refers to as new remuneration models.
"We are exploring a number of options related to these opportunities," he tells the newspaper. "Whatever we do, we will continue to be driven by the need to make sure that the end result enables us to produce better value for our clients and a better level of service."
