The History Department, like most departments of the College of Arts & Sciences, offers qualified students the opportunity to integrate theory and research with practical experience through the Internship Program.
The program is designed to help undergraduate students build a relationship with professionals in the private and public sector, make difficult career choices, experience an organization without a lengthy obligation, and discover long-term interests and aspirations.
The internship often provides valuable work experience, letters of recommendation, personal references, and sometimes a job offer. The Internship Program maintains the academic integrity of the liberal arts and sciences curriculum through careful planning and by providing uniform requirements and careful supervision. While field work experiences are primarily found in the Delaware Valley, an internship might take place nationally. Through Villanova's Washington Center affiliation, interns live and work in the nation's capital.

REHOBOTH, Mass. - A North Dighton man is dead after police say his pickup truck flew through the air and crashed into a tree.
Police say shortly before 11 p.m. Friday night they were sent to the crash, in the area of 11 Cedar Street. When they arrived, they found a pickup truck that had been split into two pieces after apparently crashing into a tree.
The driver, Robert Smith, 29, of North Dighton, was found nearby. Police say he was ejected from his truck when it crashed. Smith was taken to Rhode Island Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
There were no passengers inside the truck when it crashed.
According to police, there was extensive damage to the truck. The back and side windows were broken, and the entire back portion of the truck lay several yards away from the cab.
Police have no word on the cause of the crash.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were down nine points to the Atlanta Hawks to open the fourth quarter on Friday night, but an Alonzo Gee tip-in with less than a second remaining gave the Cavs a 113-111 win. With the victory, Cleveland moved to 4-12 on the season and 2-4 without injured point guard Kyrie Irving, while the Hawks dropped to 9-5.
Cleveland was powered on the night by Anderson Varejao, who continued his push for an All-Star berth with 20 points and 18 rebounds. Jeremy Pargo led the team in scoring with 22 points, while rookie Dion Waiters chipped in with 21 points, though his efficiency continued to wane in Irving's absence. As a team, the Cavs shot 48 percent from the field, 43 percent from three and made 21-22 free throws.
All five Hawks starters were in double figures in scoring, with Lou Williams chipping in with 18 points off the bench. The Hawks just could not hold the Cavs off in the fourth quarter, though, as they could not cover up on the defensive end an offense that scored just 20 points in that final quarter.
The Cavs will fly home on Friday night and host the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, while the Hawks are off until Wednesday night, when they'll host the Denver Nuggets.

Jon Jones will face Rashad Evans in his next trip to the Octagon. It's a fight that we were supposed to see at UFC 133 before a hand injury forced Jones out. One of the big things that gets repeated with some degree of regularity about the Jones vs. Evans fight is that Evans troubled Jones in training when they were teammates.
Following Jones' dominant victory over Quinton Jackson, the champion addressed the talk that Evans got the better of him in camp. MMA Nation's Luke Thomas was at the press conference and tweeted out the main quote:
From what I've heard it was more than a single day and just holding Jones down. But pretty much anything you hear from anyone about the whole thing is going to only be partially true. Both men probably had their moments in training against each other. Plenty of stuff happens in training that doesn't actually translate to the real fights.
What I'm most excited about is seeing Jones just go at Evans with a genuinely aggressive shot. This is the kind of thing I can get behind, because it's Jones simply being clear that he thinks he is better than Rashad. It's not over the top, it's not "pro-wrestling nonsense." It's the young mega-talent making it clear that thinks he is better than his rival.
We may be in for a fun ride with these two.

29MP4 Video Store Offers Launches2 Comments Published by Jakanden 7 years, 8 months ago in News, Other, PSP.
The first PSP format full-length film download store has been launched in the form of 29MP4.Com.
Currently in Beta, 29MP4.com has numerous videos available for download in PSP format for $2.99 each covering a broad range of subjects. They give a description of each movie, the size and the length prior to purchase as well.
If you are a movie fan who does not feel like paying for the overpriced UMD's, check em out.

It is nice to see an alternative to iTunes video store. It is about time that something like this came about, but I believe the motion picture studios will see the light and start selling downloadable versions of movies. The price is definitely right. UMDs are over priced, and I believe that for the PSP to remain a viable platform Sony will have to release the technology and software to allow users to record to UMDs. Apple is way ahead in terms of providing video content for their iPod and it isn't so much of a stretch to envsion Apple coming out with their own iPod that just happens to play games on some sort of media that we've yet to see in the market. Content is what is going to ultimate determine the survivability of the Sony PSP.

I agree whole-heartedly and I for one will be partaking in services such as these.

Attached is video I captured after today's practice at Husky Stadium. Head coach Steve Sarkisian discusses the upcoming matchup against the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the importance of the home crowd.
Sarkisian focused on Nebraska's physical defensive tackles and the capabilities of their quarterback. The second-year coach would like nothing better than for some typical Northwest weather to welcome the Huskers.
He also expects an improvement in the kicking game and an exciting game for the nationally televised matchup.

Baseball scouts skeptical of Griffey Jr.
"Personally, I think Griffey's done," one scout said emphatically. "Griffey can be pitched to. And it's going to be fun to watch him play centerfield. I don't think he can. But we're going to find out." But besides what the former Seattle and Cincinnati star can do or can't do offensively, there is question, frankly, about how hard Griffey wants to compete. "The wild card in this," said one scout, "is the combination of diminished ability and the fact that he doesn't play. Both are issues. "Now, if he goes out and busts his butt ... it's different. It may happen for a week or two weeks or three weeks, but at one point in time he's going to get comfortable and go back into being a one-gait player. "The White Sox may sit him down and say, 'We're not going to prejudge anything or what you've done in the past. But here's why we got you and what we expect from you and we're not going to treat you any differently than anybody else."' But the scout said that if Griffey, who batted .245 for the Reds, didn't, for instance, run hard to first base to beat out a potential double-play grounder, "the White Sox will get the same thing the Reds had." The second scout also wondered how Griffey, once among the game's greatest defensive center fielders, would play the position now. "You know he's not going to play left field or right field," the scout said. "And where's (Nick) Swisher going to play? Or if Swisher goes to first base, how about (Paul) Konerko? Somebody's not going to play." The third scout said, "The one who's going to help the least (of the three) is Griffey because he has deteriorating skills. ... Moving to center field from right field is going to put a lot more pressure on him."

Time to bury this storyMay 09,2013My friend Thane Rosenbaum is an expert on the thirst for vengeance. He just wrote an entire book about it: Payback: The Case for Revenge.
The Fordham law professor said he gets why people in Massachusetts seem to want nothing to do with having Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the suspected Marathon bomber, buried anywhere in our midst.
Theres a difference between an ordinary crime and an atrocity, he said. Someone went to the hardware store and picked out nails and bolts and ball bearings for the purpose of dismembering children. They knew the purpose was not just to kill but to dismember. The atrocious deserve very different treatment. They deserve to be ostracized and banished from the community.
There is hardly any precedent for the near-unanimous community opposition to his burial within their borders. For days now, his body has languished in a Worcester funeral home, as the funeral director, cemetery directors and elected officials debate his fate.
In the aftermath of serious crime, the public usually shows little interest in where criminals go to rest. But the Marathon bombing its pain so raw is different. Public opinion seems to be broadly sympathetic to the officials and cemetery directors who have pointedly refused to accept his remains. It has created the spectacle of a body in a Worcester funeral home, ready for burial with nowhere to go.
It isnt as though there arent truly awful criminals already buried in Massachusetts soil. Albert DeSalvo, the Boston Strangler, confessed to 12 murders during a crime wave that ranks among the most famous and heinous in American history. Yet he is interred at Puritan Lawn Memorial Park in Peabody. His lawyer, F. Lee Bailey, told me he doesnt recall any controversy about burying DeSalvo.
Peter Stefan, director of the Graham Putney & Mahoney Funeral Parlors in Worcester, maintains that burying Tsarnaev is a matter of civility. Gov. Deval Patrick chimed in, arguing that his burial was a family matter, albeit one his family needs to soon settle.
Clearly the public disagrees. Arguments vary from moral revulsion to hesitation over creating a gathering place for people who somehow conclude he deserves sympathy.
Meanwhile, those who want him buried immediately fret that the longer this goes on, the greater the chance of transforming a cold-blooded killer into some kind of martyr.
What does it mean to bury someone? Is a resting place something the most demonic are entitled to as a human right? Or is a burial place a form of community, in which some are simply not fit to be neighbors?
Who would want to be buried in a cemetery with Hitler or bin Laden? Rosenbaum asks rhetorically. Theres nothing civilized about saying he deserves to be buried with people who lived more moral lives. The idea is to honor the dead, not to desecrate the dead. Bostonians are not ready to move on.
Perhaps the ideal outcome would be to bury Tsarnaev in his native Kyrgyzstan. Stefan has stated that his mother would like his body sent to Russia, though there doesnt seem to be any plan for accomplishing that. Tsarnaevs Uncle Ruslan, who has claimed the body, wants him buried in Cambridge
He has to be buried, but I can understand the feelings of those who resist doing it here. I want this criminals burial to stop drawing attention from the tragedy he wrought. This is a distraction from our mourning.
What might fit the bill is a paupers grave at a prison, where he could be interred, but out of the public view. It may be as close to justice as Tamerlan Tsarnaev is going to get.

How to Roast Peppers
Roasting peppers teases out their sweetness and gives them a smoky edge (And they make Rachael's Birds in a Nest with Peppers & Sausage oh so good.) Jarred roasted peppers are a good shortcut, but you'll get a fresher flavor and firmer texture by making your own. It couldn't be easier: Follow our to-do tutorial below, heat up the broiler and get cooking!
Get Rach's Birds in a Nest with Peppers & Sausage recipe!
1. Place the peppers on a rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan and broil, turning often with tongs, until blistered all over, about 8 minutes.
2. While warm, stick the peppers in a glass or metal bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
3. Remove the peppers from the bowl and peel off the skin. Cut out the stem and ribs, toss the seeds and you're done!

Naperville Presbyterian Church presents a lecture on J.R.R. Tolkiens' "The Hobbit" by Jerry Root, who holds a doctorate degree from British Open University. Read the full release below.
Naperville Presbyterian Church invites you to explore J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth with Dr. Jerry Root, from Wheaton College from 6-7:30 pm, Sunday, March 23 at Naperville Presbyterian Church.
For Tolkien, joy is the mark of true Fantasy: "The peculiar quality of the 'joy' in successful Fantasy can thus be explained as a sudden glimpse of the underlying reality or truth." Fantasy for Tolkien then is not an escape from reality, but is a doorway to reality. From experiencing the joys that a true fantasy provides, someone may be stirred to the real world and the truths that such a story may picture. Tolkien's world gives spiritual joy, insight and food for spiritually hungry modern people. Come and listen to Jerry unfold how Tolkien's Hobbit gives us a vision of true life.
Jerry Root did his PhD at the British Open University on C.S. Lewis, edited The Quotable Lewis, and has authored 4 additional books.
Jerry has taught at Wheaton College and Biola University since 1991. Jerry's lecture tours have fascinated audiences in over 31 countries on three continents, covering topics of wide interest.

The Huffington Post's Alexander Eichler reports on a new study put out by a watchdog group that finds that federal prosecution of financial fraud has now reached a 20-year low. The report from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University finds that there were "just 1,365 prosecutions for financial institution fraud in fiscal year 2011." In contrast, there were over 3,000 such prosecutions in 1991. The authors illustrated this disparity in the following chart tracking prosecutions:

Gonzalez's Derby homers to help kids
Padres slugger commits $200 per long ball in All-Star event
SAN FRANCISCO -- Adrian Gonzalez will be taking swings for charity Monday when he competes in the State Farm Home Run Derby at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
Gonzalez, who last week was selected to participate in the Home Run Derby the day before his second All-Star Game appearance, has additional incentive to do well in the event.
Gonzalez and his wife, Betsy, will donate $200 for each home run he hits to The Adrian and Betsy Gonzalez Foundation and the Padres Foundation to benefit children.
The Padres have committed to match their donation and the Trinity Bat Company will also donate $100 for each Gonzalez home run in the event.
Fans are invited to make donations by visiting www.adriangonzalezfoundation.org. The couple has set a goal of raising $25,000 for these charities by noon PT on Friday.
The Adrian and Betsy Gonzalez Foundation focuses on empowering underprivileged youths in the areas of athletics, education and health.
The Padres Foundation is committed to meaningful and enduring impact on youth in the areas of health, education and baseball/softball.
Gonzalez will be the third Padres player to participate in the Home Run Derby. Fred McGriff and Gary Sheffield took part in 1992 in San Diego.

Actually saw this on another site and looked it up for myself. I'm starting to think we may have gotten the best Center in the 2012 class. Shaq had the 10th highest overall score.
In particular, Shaq had the highest seated Medicine Ball Toss and the 3rd highest Grip Strength. He also showed considerable flexibility and reasonable speed and agility.
Interestingly, Danuel House finished right behind him and Nate Britt isn't much further behind. I see Romelo Trimble's name on these posts from time to time and he finished high as well and is local.
I'm curious about this Andrew Mcauliffe kid - 3rd highest score and class of 2013.
Personally, I can't wait for "The Beast" to make his debut. If JWill can have an outstanding freshman year I don't see why Shaq can't.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The U.S. figure skaters won bronze in the team event during the 2014 Winter Games, thanks in part to Meryl Davis and Charlie White who placed first in free dance. Davis and White may have the best chance for gold in Sochi, but here at home some young Louisville skaters are now on the Olympic trail, just like White and Davis were 17 years ago.
"It's kind of like a feeling you don't get anywhere else," explained skater Claire Purnell of being on the ice.
Teammates J.T. Michel, 13, and Josephine Hagan, 11, agreed, "I'm at home on the ice and Josephine said, "The breeze in your face," she smiled, "that's good."
Young and in love with the ice. It's was true for Olympians Davis and White when they began at ages 9 and 10 and it's true today for talented young athletes nipping at their skates.
Flying across the Iceland Sports Complex rink in Louisville with precision, strength and artistry are some of the country's best skaters. The Louisville Skating Academy recently took several team members to the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Boston. J.T. and Josephine brought back the Louisville club's first National Championship.
"We're just so proud of them," LSA Skating Director Becca Hatch-Purnell said of the junior ice dancing champions.
Their coach Susan Caudill remembered the moment the duo won, "It was so exciting because we weren't sure until the marks came up that they were actually going to win it!"
Josephine said, "We practice really hard, so it made everything worth it and we're going to keep practicing to hopefully win again."
Up at 5:30 in the morning, practicing twice a day and getting homework done also makes the win huge for their parents. J.T.'s parents, David and Jodie Michel, said, "To finally get to that plateau and to achieve what they did it's very special not only for them but for us and all their coaches and the people here at LSA that support them."
For J.T. skating is breathing. David Michel said of his son, "I don't think I've ever heard him once say, I don't want to go skate today."
And Josephine was just 5 years old when one of her coaches told her dad Joseph Hagan they saw a star underneath her wobbly knees. "She said maybe you should buy her own skates," Joseph recalled the words, "I think she would be really good."
The champs were joined at nationals by two Louisville brother and sister teams Christopher and Sophia Elder, both Kentucky Country Day students who know a lot about togetherness. We asked Christopher and Sophia if they ever get sick of each other? "Yes!" They laughed.
The Elders placed an impressive 5th in their tough division. Also placing 8th nationally, Claire and Luke Purnell, who happen to be the children of the skating director.
"I ask them a lot, are you sure you want to be here?" Hatch-Purnell said, "Are you doing this for me?" The answer is no. While mom got them started, Claire and Luke said skating is their passion.
The sibling pairs have come a long way fast considering they used to skate freestyle. They discovered a brother sister advantage on the ice. Luke joked, "I live with her, so I know what she's going to do before she really does it, a lot."
Christorpher agreed, "Sometimes when we're going to work on something, we don't have to say it, we just know."
Purnell said of the club's skaters, "They all have dreams and I think all the kids have a dream to be in the Olympics some day."
These dedicated teams could get there if they stay focused and injury free. Dealing with the costs, time and travel their parents are equally committed.
And meeting their heroes makes them want to lace up their skates even faster. At nationals White and Davis stopped to meet and take pictures with the Louisville skaters, as did free skate Olympian Gracie Gold.
Claire said, "It's really motivational to watch them skate they're so good."
Going for the gold, a dream for skaters and parents alike. Joseph Hagan said of getting his daughter to the Olympics, "I think about it all the time and I think that would be the most fantastic thing ever." Claire said of watching the Olympics, "I'm so excited because one day I just think maybe that could be us."
The dedicated young athletes are not only on the ice six days a week, but when they are off the ice they work on strength training and ballet. You can see more Olympic ice dancing next week with competitions beginning Monday on NBC.

I now carry them down to the kitchen and throw them away in a trash can she can't get into.

Endangered Mississippi Gopher Frog Gets Protected HabitatBy Rhonda Miller | Published 12 Jun 2012 07:59pm |
More than 6,000 acres in Mississippi and Louisiana are being designated as critical habitat to save the Mississippi Gopher Frog. MPB's Rhonda Miller reports the frogs are unique to the Gulf Coast.
At the U.S. Forest Service research lab north of Biloxi in Harrison County, biologist John Tupy opens a small plastic container and takes out a little, grayish-green frog with big dark eyes and long back legs.
"This guy is... he's... usually when they're this young they're about 30 millimeters." "He's cute. How old is he?" " As a frog, he is about two days old."
This is one of hundreds of the endangered Mississippi Gopher Frogs the lab is raising and releasing back into the wild. The frogs' main habitat is a couple of miles down the road at Glen's Pond, which isn't a permanent pond. It's more of a depression in the ground that fills with rainwater, then dries up. Tupy says scientists are helping the little creatures grow from a tadpole to a frog.
"We take them from Glen's Pond, where we raise them in the tanks, and then take them back to the lab where we weigh them, we measure them and then we mark them with a unique alphanumeric tag, so that we can track them throughout their lives."
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is designating 6,500 acres in Mississippi and Louisiana as critical habitat for the frog. Tupy says the land in Harrison, Jackson, Forrest and Perry Counties, as well as Louisiana, gives the frogs more chance to survive.
"This is an animal unique to the Gulf Coast. It's not found anywhere else in the world. Local residents could take pride in having this unique, rare species in their backyard."
The curator of reptiles and amphibians at Memphis Zoo, Steve Reichling, keeps a register of Mississippi Gopher Frogs.
"They are beautiful in that they are beautifully adapted to this environment, the high, dry sandy lands along the Gulf Coast. It's a not a good habitat for frogs and toads and salamanders, and there are very few species that can live in these areas as well as the Mississippi Gopher Frog can."
Reichling says there are about 900 of the frogs living in zoos across the country, and only about 200 left living in the wild in Mississippi.

Since I Saw You
In the "exceptionally hot" (USA Today) Because You Are Mine, Beth Kery redefined what's possible, what's desirable, and what's forbidden between a man and a woman. It's time to go further…
When enigmatic billionaire Ian Noble sets Lin the task of 'taming' his brilliant, yet half-savage brother Kam Reardon, she eagerly accepts. She's more than curious about the solitary genius and everything she's heard about him. During their electric first meeting, her fascination increases a hundredfold. Kam practically oozes raw sex appeal. Lin is interested…very interested. But does her intense attraction and willingness to go places with him she's never gone before in the bedroom really have to do with Kam? Or is her carefully hidden desire to blame for a man she knows she can never have?
An elusive outsider, Kam avoids intimacy, yet never shies away from satisfying his erotic appetites. But there's something different about Lin—a reserve he's anxious to break. A woman he's eager to take his time with…and possess completely. A sophisticated beauty like her would never want him anywhere but in bed, but he finds himself unable to resist her.
Immediately Lin's smooth façade is undone by Kam's overwhelming masculinity and by his irresistible erotic demands—a lesson in subjugation that leaves Lin confused, reeling, and open to things she never thought possible. Now, as the unpredictable nights between them grow darker, Lin and Kam are certain of only thing: they're made for each other.

Korea is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world with over five thousand years of history. According to the original creation myth, the world we live in today is the work of the Heavenly Prince Hwanung, whose father was the King of Heaven.
The Heavenly Prince asked his father to give him some land to govern, so the Father sent him down to Mount Taebaek. With him the Prince brought the Minister of Clouds, the Earl of Rain and the Chancellor of Wind. They also brought three thousand helpers.
Under the shade of a sandalwood tree the Prince founded a holy city called Sinsi, the City of God. He put his Ministers in charge of three hundred and sixty areas of human culture, teaching them to grow crops and to make laws concerning what is good and what is evil.
A tiger and a bear living in a nearby cave saw this city and desperately wanted to become human. Every day they came to the sandalwood tree at the center of the city to pray fervently for becoming humans.
Hwanung saw their devotion and gave them instructions to remain in the cave and fast for one month, eating nothing but garlic and mugwort. The tiger was too impatient to stand the long and boring days in the cave, so he gave up and left, but Bear maintained the fast. At the end of the month she was transformed into a beautiful woman who became the mother of the Korean people.
Her first son was Don-gun, the First King of the Korean people. When Don-Gun passed on the throne to his own son, he became a Mountain God. It is interesting that mountain gods are still worshipped today in Korea.

Perry County commissioners have confirmed that an electronic voting machine in Millerstown improperly indicated a vote for Mitt Romney when Barack Obama was selected, but said the vote was canceled before it was recorded.
A video posted on YouTube this morning showed that a checkmark would appear next to Romney's name when the voter selected Obama.
Commissioners said that when the county was made aware of the problem, the voter registration office immediately discontinued use of the machine until it could recalibrated. The voter used another machine without any reported problem.
After recalibration, the machine was tested, determined to be working properly, and was placed back into service, commissioners said.
The Perry County Bureau of Elections was not aware of any votes that were improperly cast and counted, commissioners said.

North Jefferson News
Lee County Schools Superintendent Dr. Steven Nowlin has had a good five-year run as the head of the Opelika-based system. But come January, he'll take on the biggest challenge of his career to date, as he becomes the new superintendent of the Jefferson County Schools.
Nowlin was chosen by the board of education last week to replace Dr. Phil Hammonds, who retires in February after nine years at the helm.
"It's kind of a natural career move for me," Nowlin said. "I've always wanted to seek out more challenging opportunities, and a larger system like this presents a wonderful opportunity. Frankly, I wouldn't have considered it if Jefferson County didn't have a reputation of having a good school board and a good superintendent. It has possibilities to grow and get better, and in some places that's not the case. If you're a career superintendent, you want to move into situations where you have a chance to grow and to be successful."
The Lee County system is roughly one-third the size of Jefferson County.
"There's more of an organizational chart you have to work through, and when you have 4,000 employees, there's not as much of a chance to get face time with each of them," Nowlin said. "It's important to have lines of communication open where nobody's cut off from me, but where the folks who are on other rungs of the organizational chart can handle things as they come to them."
One reason cited by Board President Jennifer Parsons for selecting Nowlin over two other candidates was his familiarity with how Alabama finances its public schools, which is significantly different from states such as Georgia and Indiana, home to the two other finalists for the job.
"The bulk of Jefferson County's revenue comes from property taxes, close to $80 million as I recall, and about $25 million of that has to go to matching the state allocation," Nowlin said. "In 1995, the current funding structure was changed to where all systems have to contribute the equivalent of 10 mills of property taxes just to receive state matching funds. The rest comes from three other millages."
About two-thirds of the state education trust fund comes from income taxes, and one fourth from sales taxes. It's something Nowlin is very familiar with, having taught college courses on school financing at Troy and Jacksonville State universities.
"At the state level we're seeing serious issues. Local systems that don't have much of a tax base are still in severe financial straits because we're getting about $1 billion less than before the recession," Nowlin said. "The state used to full fund transportation, but the state legislature cut transportation 25 percent. Diesel fuel has gone up significantly since that cut. County systems' transportation bill tends to be a lot higher than city systems because they cover a lot more miles with fewer students."
Having said that, Jefferson County Schools are in good financial shape, Nowlin said. "The system has more than two months operating reserve, and the state requires at least one month, so that's good thing."
Nowlin was retained by the Jefferson County board some time ago to perform a periodic job evaluation on Hammonds, the man whom he is succeeding. "I think that's just a combination of coincidence," Nowlin said. "I was invited to apply by their search firm Alabama Association of School Boards. I did have a good impression of the board and their professionalism and how they worked together. I did come to understand how well-regarded Dr. Hammonds is, and that made me feel more comfortable in applying."
Nowlin is originally from southern middle Tennessee town of Collingwood, just north of Florence and Muscle Shoals. His wife, Linda, is a retired kindergarten teacher. His daughter Nancy attends UAB, studying to become a teacher of English as a second language.
And as far as his rooting interest in college teams — well, he is the superintendent of Lee County, after all.
"War Eagle!" he said, with enthusiasm.

3.7/5 rDev +11.4%
On draught @ the 5th Annual Strong Beer Festival in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dark orange in color. Typical, non-expressive Dopplebock aroma with fruity malt (plum), caramel and herbals hops. Malt accented, buttery, grainy feel with notes of bread, cookies, caramel and toast and a small hop presense that brings forth a distinct dryness and grass flavor.

3.48/5 rDev +4.8%
Sampled March 2007
This beer has a deep, clear, reddish amber color and is topped by one-and-a-half finger thick, frothy, amber tinged tan colored head that is quite good for a draught beer. The aroma is malty, but really quite non-descript for a Bock, much less a Doppel Bock. I get some aromatic notes of light caramel and a dry toasty note in the finish.
The beer is fairly well carbonated, which accentuates a sharp, carbonic bite. Rich and chewy without being very sweet (basically made up of lots of complex, residual malt sugars). This beer has a spicy-herbal hop finish and quite a solid hop bitterness for a Doppel Bock. The bitterness adds a balance not usually found in this malt focused style of beer. Rich, bready, caramelized crust flavors add to the layered malt character that is found in this beer. This is definitely thick bodied, but ample carbonation helps to lighten the overall sensory effect of this beer. This is thick enough to be contemplative though, and it is definitely a sipping brew. Ultimately this beer is somehow lackluster and I can't quite put my finger on it. There seems to be missing a certain richness and flavor depth that I would require in a Bock, thought he body is definitely spot on.

2.78/5 rDev -16.3%
Note: I considered adding a new listing for this beer under "Canyonator Doppelbock" but I'm betting that it is essentially the same as the "Nuthin' Greator". If it isn't the same it still probably doesn't matter much because the beer is not interesting. But if anyone tells me different, I will promptly delete this review and place it under its own title. Thanks.
Appearance: Very dark amber with a thin off white head.
Smell: This does not seem to have been brewed at a lager temperature. Some phenolic notes in the background. But overall, the aroma just doesn't represent.
Taste: Not very complex, almost tastes like wort, as the alcohol doesn't even come close to the surface. Caramel sweetness, little smokiness which may be a phenol as well, but it helps the flavor.
Overall: A pleasant enough beer if you think of it as an ale, medium bodied and sweet, not to style, I drank it, but it isn't really very drinkable.

|Customer Reviews
|Average Rating View All Reviews
this was recommended to me by my doctor after reconstructive surgery for skin cancer on the lower lid. When i put it on you can hardly tell I had surgery. It really conceals. Would never use anything else again!!!!
I do really like this concealer, best I have found.
I LOVE IT! I have found my concealer. I like applying my foundation with a brush. I lightly pat over the concealed area and my foundation blends so nicely.
This is the best concealer I have ever used!
I have tried a lot of concealers - this one really works. Love it!
The best coverup creme I've used. The color is good for me because it has yellow tones to it. Very pleased with the product.
Best concealer I have ever used. Good coverage. I use it with Amazing Base. No need for additional foundation.
It works!

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Plainview hosted its 3rd Annual BBQ cook-off Saturday to help show support for one of its local athletes.
After graduating early from Plainview High School in 2006, Alex Ortiz packed his bags and moved to Milwaukee to train at the Olympic Training Center for speed skating. Three years ago, Ortiz made up his mind that one day he will stand on that podium.
"No I had never ice skated in my life prior to, you know, taking up skating," said Ortiz.
After Ortiz's 1st year of competitive speed skating, two things stood in his way to the Winter Olympics. "I'm three seconds from making the Olympic trials for the 2010 Olympics...I'm looking for sponsorship at this time. If you're interested, you guys could help out," said Ortiz on NewsChannel 11 in May.
After his plea, a town he knew very well stepped up. The City of Plainview came together to sponsor Alex Ortiz. Many Ortiz supporters also wore Alex Ortiz T-shirts, which is another fundraiser from the city.
The 2010 Olympics is a goal for Ortiz, but now he is training for 2014 winter games.

3.71/5 rDev +2.8%
I've always been a fan of some of Barley Island's original brews, and have been stopping by from time to time for the better part of the last 10 years.
They keep a solid staff on hand, especially Michael, who has been the bartender there since I first visited and continues to provide outstanding service to this day.
My wife had never been, so I took her out for a couple of beers and burgers last weekend and we had a very good experience. The food was cooked perfectly to suit our picky-ness, the service was terrific, and the beer was fresh and as tasty as ever.
BI's food has went through all sorts of ups and downs over the last few years, as I've had a few hits and misses, but it seems like they are at a very good point now and I hope they keep it up.
One of the first bars I ever attended and one I will always go back to!

Met up with a fellow BA to swap a couple beers and have a few drinks.
The dining area was dead, although it was a Monday evening. Bar was a regular bar, nothing out of the ordinary with some locals in there.
The beer selection was ok. They had their regular year round beers, which are ok. There was one special one off beer on tap which was the highlight of the beer night.
One bar tender who did a great job keeping up and offering samples of anything we needed. Did a good job for the amount of people that were there.
Not many beers to choose from. Just their average beers and one special beer. So nothing to get to excited about.
The food was good. Had a pulled pork bbq sandwich which was good. Probably better than most of the beer selection they had.
Overall it is an ok place to go. Pretty quiet all around. Nothing great, probably won't go back unless someone really wanted to go.

I'm not sure what Barley Island these people (see below) have been to, but I'm quite possible it's the Barely There Island. When I first moved to Noblesville I was pumped to see a brewery so close. I love Upland and the ability to grab growlers and the fact that Sunday carryout was going to be the norm come July 4th I thought I would head on down to sample it all out. We have ate there once, and all my other experiences have been going to the bar for growlers on just about every night of the week, with that said...lets go.
Anyone love Sunny in Philadelphia? Well you will love it here! ( IF YOU WORK THERE ) Ever notice how people just mosey on back behind the bar to serve themselves because the gang is out fighting crime and finding babies in the dumpster? Well this is the norm, at least from what I've experienced. Many times when I've approached the bar the bartender looks confused, today I ordered a growler of their wheat and hefewiezen and he looked at me like I was speaking German. Finally another employee came from the back to help. (Did I mention a fellow bar fly had to yell for the first set of helpful hands in the first place?)
I just don't get this place. I always think about what kind of following Barley's could have with the proper management and marketing team. What's the point of having great beer if you can barely serve it in an atmosphere that screams Paddy's Pub? The best way to explain Barley's is to explain your psychotic ex-girlfriend. You are well aware of just how crazy she is...but you keep going back because she's so damn good. You know the fall-out but you just don't care.
In this case, I know what to expect when I go to Barley's. Awful service...but damn good beer.

I was in Noblesville for a concert and stopped by Barley Island (found it on BA).
This is a nice little place with some good beers.
Walking in you'll find a decent sized dining area. Walk to the back and you'll find the bar (unless you park out back, then reverse it). We sat at the bar.
The back bar is beautiful...old stained glass, and a beautiful old bar.
While there, I sampled their cask ale, which at the time was an imperial stout--a pretty good one. I also had their IPA and a few sips of their Count Hopula imperial IPA. All were good examples of the style. It was nice to see a cask ale on tap, and the stout was served in a small snifter.
One thing I enjoyed about this place is that they do half pours...which, if you are looking to sample a few extra beers, is where it's at.
The service was friendly, and the bartenders were quite knowledgeable about their beer. One beer bottle on display was a java stout...they didn't have any on hand, but one bartender said it was brewed with locally roasted coffee, which lead us down to a local coffee shop later. Pretty cool.
Overall, the experience was nice...a cool place with some good character and fine ales. Check it out if you are in the area.

HALF-TIME: Burnley 0, Charlton 0
4:07pm Saturday 17th November 2012 in Sport
CONTROVERSY has dominated the first half at Turf Moor, with Burnley reduced to 10 men after only 15 minutes.
Kieran Trippier made two goalline blocks as Charlton pressed, but the first from Rob Hulse was deemed to have been handled by the right back by the referee, who immediately pointed to the spot and gave Trippier his marching orders.
The right back was reluctant to leave the field at first, baffled by the decision after no hint of an appeal by the opposition.
But jeers by the home fans, directed at referee Robert Madley, turned to cheers as Lee Grant got low to his right to save Johnnie Jackson's spot kick.
Two further handball offences went un-noticed by Madley, the first by ex-Claret Leon Cort on his return to Turf Moor, and both when Burnley were attacking, causing greater frustration for Clarets fans.
But despite their one-man deficit Burnley could have gone in front just after the half-hour when Brian Stock cracked a stunning left-foot volley towards the top corner from 30 yards, only to be denied by an equally excellent save from Ben Hamer, who denied Michael Duff a far post header from the corner.
Grant got another important touch to stop Danny Haynes from scoring with a shot across goal, with Cort heading the subsequent corner wide.

This is a bit of a Frankenstein recipes, cobbled together in my usual fashion, after reading recipes from a variety of sources and pulling what I like. I know real Jamaican patties are made with dough from scratch, seasoned with turmeric or curry powder or something. But, as I might've mentioned once or twice (or more), I have a real phobia about pie crust and such. So I cheated. These frozen empanada discs make it so easy that I'm willing to forgo a little flavor. Next time maybe I'll just sprinkle a little seasoning on the dough before I fill it.
I made 20, to feed six of us for dinner and allow for plenty of leftovers. You probably don't need that many so it's easy to cut this recipe in half.
- Goya Pastry Discs, two packages, thawed
- Lean Ground Beef, 1 1/2 pounds
- White or Yellow Onion, 1 medium, minced
- Garlic, 1 or 2 cloves, minced
- Jalapeno Pepper, 1, minced (or a little scotch bonnet for more kick, or leave it out entirely)
- Curry Powder, 2 or 3 teaspoons
- Thyme, 2 teaspoons
- Bread Crumbs, 3/4 cup
- Beef Broth or Bouillon, 1 cup
- Salt/Pepper
- Egg, 1
Preheat the oven to 400. In a large skillet, brown the beef over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, pepper, curry powder and thyme. I used a mix of red and yellow curry powders because I had them both in the pantry. Usually I just use yellow.
Cook until the softens. Stir in the bread crumbs then add the broth.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the broth is absorbed, just a few minutes. The mixture should be thick enough to hold it's shape but still moist.
Put a scoop of the meat mixture on one half of the dough disc.
Fold it over and seal the edges with a fork.
Place the pastry on a lightly greased baking sheet and brush the tops with a little beaten egg. Bake at 400 for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

June's strong employment report led to more speculation that the Federal Reserve will reduce future bond purchases. Higher mortgage rates resulted.
Some of that speculation could be tempered by a closer look at details of the Federal Reserve's recent meeting.
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) was 4.51 percent with an average 0.8 point, the week ending July 11, according to Freddie Mac's weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
Last week, the 30-year FRM averaged 4.29 percent. It was 3.56 percent a year ago.
"The economy gained 195,000 jobs in June, above the market consensus forecast, while revisions to the prior two months added 70,000 on top of that. Moreover, hourly wages rose by 2.2 percent over the last 12 months and represented the largest annual increase in nearly two years," said Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist of Freddie Mac.
Meanwhile, the average interest rate on the 15-year FRM was 3.53 percent with an average 0.8 point, up from 3.39 percent last week. A year ago, the 15-year FRM averaged 2.94 percent.
For the 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable rate mortgage (ARM), the average interest rate was 3.26 percent, with an average 0.7 point, up from last week's 3.10 percent. A year ago, the 5-year ARM was 2.74 percent.
Finally, for the week ending July 11, Freddie Mac reported the 1-year Treasury-indexed ARM averaged 2.66 percent, with an average 0.5 point, unchanged from last week, and down from 2.69 percent a year ago. It was the only mortgage rate not to make a large increase.
"June's strong employment led to more market speculation that the Federal Reserve will reduce future bond purchases, causing bond yields to rise and mortgage rates followed," Nothaft said.
Speculation could ease due to additional details in the minutes of Fed's policy meeting.
"The minutes of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy committee meeting, released July 10th, stated that many members indicated further improvement in the outlook for the labor market would be required before it would be appropriate to slow the pace of bond purchases," Nothaft added.

Sports Medicine
The Guthrie Sports Medicine approach focuses on early intervention that addresses total body concept, as well as the specific injury itself. If not treated appropriately, sports injuries may limit or prevent individuals from participating in their sport, work, or certain daily activities. Our interdisciplinary approach typically enables individuals to return to their active lifestyles and to their sport more quickly with improved results.

Or even on Tuesday or Thursday?
The USPS projected a $7 billion deficit for 2009 but managed to find enough cost cuts to finish the year at $3.7 billion of red ink. For the beleaguered Postal Service, there's no light at the end of the tunnel because in 2009 it handled (and received no revenue) 27 billion fewer pieces of mail than in 2008, thanks mainly to email, UPS and Fedex.
If the U.S. Postal Service was a private enterprise, it would've gone out of business long ago or at least been re-directed to a new mission.
Most Americans have reached a point where we don't need home delivery more than a day or two per week. We still need hard-copy of certain legal papers and a few other items but I have a problem coming up with a good solid reason for taxpayers to continue to fund a home delivery service that brings fistfuls of junk mail to our doors every day.
You like the coupons? Great! Go online and print them off.
Home delivery is an expensive convenience, and that's all. It's there so I don't have to run to the Post Office when I'm expecting something important. For instance, I just renewed my drivers license and due to new tamper-proofing technology added to the card, my state now mails the actual license from a central site, but even that doesn't require home delivery 5 or 6 days per week.
I now pay most of my bills online but other examples of the need for snail-mail are my water, sewage and electric bills. Those are city-county owned companies and because governments have no limits on raising taxes, they just keep hiring bodies to shuffle the paper. Paper-shufflers on the other end means paper checks from me because they don't have the utility to accept online payments for my utility bills. To accommodate the green eyeshades in our city and county governments, I could easily handle bills and checks thru a PO Box, especially if the PO would accommodate the public with evening hours.
If we must keep Post Offices as a matter of national pride, let's at least cut back on deliveries to no more than two days per week. I would be happy with delivery on Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday or Wednesday and Saturday, or whatever, and they could start today….I need no time to get ready.
Some businesses, especially small ones, would argue they need delivery 5 or 6 times a week, but I don't buy it. In most cases they'd be better off with fewer deliveries. It would force them to more efficient business practices.
