Many questions remain after Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputies found the body of an unidentified woman in a hunting lease area off Tram Road Friday night.
"She's someone's daughter, someone's mother, someone's neighbor. Somebody in this community knows who she is, they just don't know she's missing," said Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy Rod Carroll Saturday afternoon.
Deputies say a passerby discovered the body just feet from a canal around 5 p.m. Friday after noticing the gate to the area was open. He called the Sheriff's Office and deputies began investigating what they're calling a murder.
Deputy Carroll released this description of the victim on Saturday:
The victim is a:
Officials believe she is from Beaumont, but are not positive. They are asking the public to come forward with any information on her or on those responsible for her death.
"If anyone saw a vehicle leaving this area, or was working out here, we need to hear from you," said Carroll.
Crimestoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest in this case.
If you have any information in this case you are encouraged to call the Jefferson County Sheriff's office at 409-835-8411, or Beaumont Crimestoppers at 409-833-8477.

Barbara Cook
The Kennedy Center's newest honoree starts her shows by reminding us that she's old (85 this fall); in her characteristically self-deprecating fashion, she makes a spectacle out of needing to be helped onto the stage by two burly waiters. But once there, she opens her mouth and, without fuss or fanfare, proceeds to blow every other singer, of any age, clear out of the water.
Ms. Cook's latest one-woman cabaret offering leads her ever further from the traditional Broadway repertoire — the Rodgers, Hammerstein and Sondheim that she's associated with — and toward the rustic jazz of Hoagy Carmichael, the witty, swinging rockabilly of Dan Hicks, and even "House of the Rising Sun." In her finest moments, which are many, she closes her eyes makes you feel as though she's eliminated all but four elements: you, her, the music, and that elusive quality known as the truth.

Facebook has become another platform for people to speak their mind about the Paula Deen scandal.
Deen's fans are expressing outrage over the Food Network's decision to dump the southern comfort food queen.
The network's Facebook page has become saturated with posts from fans both supporting and disagreeing with the desicion to not renew Deen's contract after admitting the use of racial slurs in the past.
The most recent post on the site, a recipe for zucchini casserole, has more than 2000 comments on both sides. However, the majority are supporting Deen.
Also, her fans created a new page called "We Support Paula Deen". The page already has 195,000 followers and the number is steadily growing.

I don't have the interest in doing a post on ratings as it's a relatively dull subject. For my own reasons, I prefer to use the Los Angeles Whiskey Society's ratings. They are in my opinion the least ambiguous and pretty straightforward.
Since I have received a few emails and IMs asking about rating information (which I've linked to previously), I'll very quickly copy this information on ratings over from the LAWS site.
A+ Perfection.
A Virtually ideal. A superstar whiskey.
A- Excellent. Definitely want to own.
B+ Great. Definitely want to own.
B Good. Might want to own.
B- Good whiskey worth trying.
C (range) Fine to drink (if there's nothing else).
D (range) Unpleasant. Not recommended.
F Horrific swill to be avoided at all costs.
Note that ratings never take into account price. (Macallan 30 for instance would rate lower if it did; something like Very Old Barton may rate higher if it did.) This is generally a tougher scale than most; scores tend to cluster around B-/C+ rather than A-/B+.

Identifying Superlatives
Latin superlative adjectives are usually easy to identify. Most contain -issim- (e.g., suavissimus, -a, -um 'most charming'). If they don't have -issim-, they will likely have -llim- (difficillimus, -a, -u 'most difficult') or -rrim- (celerrimus, -a, -um 'swiftest') in them. This double consonant + -im- precedes the case ending.
Translation of Superlatives
Superlatives are usually translated into English with -est or "most". They can also be translated with "very" or "extremely". Difficillimus means most difficult or very difficult. Celerrimus means fastest or very fast.
Declension of Superlatives
Superlative adjectives are declined like first and second declension nouns. Superlatives are adjectives and as such must agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. The endings are added to the base of the adjective. These endings are not new or different, but they're here for convenience:
case M. F. N.
nom. -us -a -um
gen. -i -ae -i
dat. -o -ae -o
acc. -um -am -um
abl. -o -a -o
case M. F. N.
nom. -i -ae -a
gen. -orum -arum -orum
dat. -is -is -is
acc. -os -as -a
abl. -is -is -is
Example: Clarus - Clarissimus -a -um Clear - Clearest
case M F N
nom. clarissimus clarissima clarissimum gen. clarissimi clarissimae clarissimi dat. clarissimo clarissimae clarissimo acc. clarissimum clarissimam clarissimum abl. clarissimo clarissima clarissimo
case M F N
nom. clarissimi clarissimae clarissima gen. clarissimorum clarissimarum clarissimorum dat. clarissimis clarissimis clarissimis acc. clarissimos clarissimas clarissima abl. clarissimis clarissimis clarissimis
Unusual Superlatives
If an adjective ends in -er for its masculine singular nominative in what is called the "positive" (e.g., for the Latin adjective pulcher 'beautiful,' pulcher is the positive form), its superlative form will end in -errimus, -a, -um. If the masculine singular nominative form of the adjective ends in -ilis (e.g., facilis 'easy'), the superlative form will be -illimus, -a, -um.
case M F N
nom. pulcherrimus pulcherrima pulcherrimum gen. pulcherrimi pulcherrimae pulcherrimi dat. pulcherrimo pulcherrimae pulcherrimo acc. pulcherrimum pulcherrimam pulcherrimum abl. pulcherrimo pulcherrima pulcherrimo
case M F N
nom. pulcherrimi pulcherrimae pulcherrima gen. pulcherrimorum pulcherrimarum pulcherrimorum dat. pulcherrimis pulcherrimis pulcherrimis acc. pulcherrimos pulcherrimas pulcherrima abl. pulcherrimis pulcherrimis pulcherrimis
Irregular SuperlativesHere are some of the common adjectives that have irregular forms. The positive is the basic form. For the adjective celer, the positive form would be translated "fast". The comparative would be translated "faster". The superlative would be "fastest". It is worth noting that some of these irregular adjectives are also irregular in English. Thus for the positive bonus, which means "good", the comparative is "better" and the superlative is "best".
(Translation) Positive -- Comparative -- Superlative
- (Big, Bigger, Biggest) magnus, -a, -um -- maior, maius -- maximus, -a, -um
- (Small, Smaller, Smallest) parvus, -a, -um -- minor, minus -- minimus, -a, -um
- (Good, Better, Best) bonus, -a, -um -- melior, melius -- optimus, -a, -um
- (Bad, Worse, Worst) malus, -a, -um -- peior, peius -- pessimus, -a, -um

The cover of this week's issue of Sports Illustrated is going to be graced by the highly-touted Kansas Freshman Andrew Wiggins, the top recruit in the class of 2013.
Here's the full Wiggins SI cover. I'll have the HQ version up tomorrow: pic.twitter.com/QSaJcaEmW5— RockChalkBlog.com (@RockChalkBlog) October 9, 2013
As you can see from the photo above, the cover story is comparing the freshman phenom Wiggins to other Kansas greats Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning, all three of whom were separated by about 30 years. The hype is going to keep growing for Wiggins as college basketball season is getting closer and closer, and the large Kansas fan base keeps getting more and more excited.
Wiggins is certainly being hyped very much, and I am honestly not sure of exactly how good he's going to be, as he's never played a second of college ball, leading me to be a little skeptical of the cover story that is comparing him to two of the best Kansas players ever. I don't usually buy into hype for freshmen, but Wiggins seems to be a unique freshman that can make an immediate impact, which has certainly got me excited for the coming basketball season. Thankfully for Wiggins though, he's going to have a very skilled team and coach to help him maximize his abilities to the fullest extent.
Although, it's a neat connection that's been made by Sports Illustrated about the exact same time gap between the arrival of the three players, and I'll definitely be picking up a copy to read. Wiggins won't have the same amount of time to make his mark on Kansas like Manning and Chamberlain had, as he's no doubt going to be a one-and-done player who will more than likely be picked first overall in the NBA Draft, meaning he's going to be very determined to make his own unique mark on Kansas, a school that is rich in basketball tradition and heritage.

The City of Fritch is having a hard time making bond payments. The Interim City Manager, John Horst says the past three out of four bond payments have been defaulted, because there just isn't enough money. "We don't know exactly what all it was spent on at this point," Horst told us. But one thing the Interim City Manager does know, is Fritch is in debt. "Not counting the defaulted bond payments, our total current in delinquent accounts payable is $433,000."He also said the city owes $402,000 for a 2011 bond used to purchase water rights from the High Texas Water System. Another $590,000 is also owed for a 2003 bond used to build a new sewer system.Currently, the Texas Rangers are looking into where money from the city has gone.

As helpful as it can be to go to the medicine cabinet for what ails you, you should know that some pills can make you gain weight.
For one, Prednisone can leave you puffy in the face, arms and chest because it's a steroid and any pharmacist will tell you steroids increase your appetite and cause water retention.
"Corticoid steroids, the most common one people know is Prednisone. They're used for every disease known to man. They're used for allergies, treatment of cancer, they're used for appetite stimulants because they cause weight gain," says Harminder Sikant, a pharmacist.
Sikant says parents should know that kids can gain weight too from certain medicines like, Benadryl, which is a common over the counter anti-histamine. Apparently, anti-histamines can lower your metabolism and make the body store more fat.
Even blood pressure medicine, with beta-blockers, can slow the rate calories are burned. Of course, you take medicine for a reason. So, never stop taking medication because you're worried about gaining weight.
Instead, if you're concerned ask your pharmacist or doctor if the medicine affects weight gain before you start taking it. Then, you could either ask for an alternative drug or plan your diet a little better and try to compensate with more exercise.

The sensing element is configured In a reflecting mode and is illuminated by a broad-band light source through art optical fiber. The spectrum of fight reflected from the sensor is analyzed using an AWG device acting as a coarse spectrometer. Using measurement points from the AWG channels, the original spectrum of the sensing element is reconstructed by a means of curve fitting. This allows sufficient it(formation for the position of the reflection peak (or inverted peak) to be uniquely determined and the value of a measurement quantity obtained. In addition to the theoretical simulations of the proposed measurement system, we provide details of the laboratory evaluation.

Jacco Gardner
We've posted about a lot of psych-related bands today, the from the mindblowing awesomeness of Swedish weirdos Goat to the more garagey drone of Price Rupert's Drops. Here's more, though in a more baroque, Alice in Wonderland style. Dutch musician Jacco Gardner released "Where Will You Go" on 7" this year via Trouble in Mind and, with it's rolling bassline, harpsichords and mellotrons, you're swept back in time to The Zombies, Billy Nichols and Syd Barret-era Pink Floyd. You can stream it below.
Both sides of that single will appear on Jacco's debut album, Cabinet Of Curiosities, which is out in February 12 on Trouble in Mind and is pretty terrific if you have any affection of this kind of music whatsoever. You can download another track from the album, "The Ballad of Little Jane," above or stream it below. Jacco Will be visiting North America next year to come to SXSW, so let's hope he makes time for some other cities as well.
In other Trouble in Mind news, the label will release Shadows, the debut album from Los Angeles' Maston who have a similar love of baroque pop, but with a distinctly West Coast vibe. You can download "Young Hearts" above and stream it below. Shadows is also out February 12.
Meanwhile, The Paperhead, who released one of my favorite singles of the year ("Pictures of Her Demise," also on Trouble in Mind, streamable below), are on tour and will play Death by Audio on December 19 with their TiM labelmates MMOSS (whose album Only Children came out earlier this year and is streamable below). All tour dates are below.
In related news, Merge Records has signed Mikal Cronin whose Trouble in Mind debut from last year was my #5 album of 2011. He's currently touring as part of Ty Segall's band, but will release his next album on the North Carolina label sometime next year.
And finally, if you want to play catchup with some of Trouble in Mind's many great recent release, the Chicago label is offering up a 16-track sampler, Trouble In Mind's Stax-O-Trax!, that features the likes of Mikal Cronin, The Paperhead, The Liminanas, Wax Museums, MMOSS and more. You can stream it below or download the whole thing on one American dollar. That's a good deal.
Paperhead tour dates are listed below, along with various streams from all bands mentioned above.

Dent May / Mac DeMarco
On Friday night (10/19) during CMJ, Panache Booking threw their showcase at Public Assembly and we stopped by to catch some of their roster, specifically Dent May, Mac DeMarco, Turbo Fruits, (three of the more consistently entertaining acts who played constantly this year) plus the sweet retro-fueled rock of The Paperhead and Gap Dream.
Post CMJ: Gap Dream will soon be out with King Tuff; Turbo Fruits will soon join up with White Lung; and Dent May has a tour of Florida in December. No NYC dates for any of them on the known horizon, so hopefully you caught them last week. All tour dates for those three are listed below, along with more pictures from Public Assembly.

The Paperhead released new single (MP3), touring, playing DbA and Cake Shop; The Band in Heaven are here too (MP3)

The Paperhead
Nashville time travellers The Paperhead are on tour right now with their Tennessee neighbors D Watusi with two stops in NYC this week: Thursday (7/12) at Death by Audio and Friday (7/13) at Cake Shop. All tour dates are listed below.
Though barely old enough to vote, these teenagers make music that sounds like vintage '60s psychedelic pop, straight out of Nuggets. The band's debut album on Trouble in Mind from last year is very good, but their new single, "Pictures of Her Demise," is flat-out great, like a lost side by the Electric Prunes or Syd-era Pink Floyd. You can download it above.
The Death By Audio show also features Strip Mall, Turnip King and "The ? in ? (cant say who it is but they are on a label called _ozac)." We're not sure exactly what that last bit means.
The Band in Heaven
In completely unrelated news, Florida's trippy The Band in Heaven is in town this weekend, playing Skippers on Pier 17 at South St. Seaport on Friday night (7/13) immediately after the 4Knots Fest pre-party with Eleanor Friedberger / Ex Cops / Zambri show on the big Pier 16 stage (also the Seaport). The Friday Skipper's show also has Zambri on DJ duties and "special guests." The Band in Heaven will also open the Skipper's stage at the 4Knots Fest on Saturday (7/14) at the Seaport around noon.
You may remember we profiled them back in January when their 7" was about to drop on HoZac records. If you like fuzz bass, drone-outs, flower-power psych, '90s shoegaze, and the letters J, A, M and C, you'll definitely want to check them out. "Summer Bummer" from that HoZac 7" is downloadable above and you can stream all four of its tracks below.
Paperhead tour dates are listed below along with The Band in Heaven stream.

The Paperhead, Pursesnatchers, Title Tracks, Parlovr, Dent May, The Monkees & more in This Week in Indie

DOWNLOAD: Title Tracks - All Tricks (MP3)
DOWNLOAD: Pursesnatchers - Baseball on the Radio (MP3)
DOWNLOAD: The Paperhead - Back to Those Days (MP3)
The Paperhead
First up is The Paperhead who are in town for two shows: Tonight (7/2) at Death by Audio and Friday (7/22) at Bruar Falls. I caught The Paperhead at SXSW during the Trouble in Mind day party where the Nashville band stood out from than the rest of the bands on the bill (or the label). Instead of fuzzed-out garage rock, The Paperhead favor paisley-powered psych. Their Trouble in Mind debut is a nice cup of mushroom tea and the band (who also look the part) are pretty good live.
The Gytters
Tonight's show at DBA is with fellow Nashville residents and tourmates D Watusi, plus The Gytters, The Hairs and which is a pretty good bill all around. Get there early to check out openers The Gytters who I caught a couple weeks ago at Bruar Falls. The band is fronted by Scott Rosenthall who plays keyboards in Class Actress and has played with (and produced) The Beets. Sorta twangy new wave, you can download their song "Divebombers" from their bandcamp site. And The Hairs play this show too. Their 7" on Magic Marker is four songs of near-perfect snarky indiepop.
Friday's show at Bruar Falls is headlined by Conversion Party who manage to be anthemic without the pretense that often comes with it. D Watusi also play, plus Pennsylvania's Royal Shoals and Tank.
You may remember Doug Marvin from mid-'00s band Dirty on Purpose where he played drums and also sang (and wrote) some of the neo-shoegazers' catchiest material. Since DoP went kaput, Doug has continued making music under the Pursesnatchers moniker. Originally a true solo project, Pursesnatchers have become a real band with Doug moving to guitar, for a lineup and that also includes his wife Annie Hart (one third of Au Revoir Simone, and they both play in Uninhabitable Mansions) who also takes lead vocals on a couple songs.
That band made Pursesnatchers' new album, A Pattern Language, which just came out this week. The sound is an extension of what Doug did in Dirty on Purpose: melodic, brittle songs that are bolstered by waves of guitar. It's a really nice record. You can download "Baseball on the Radio" at the top of this post.
The point of all this is that Pursenatchers are playing a record release party for the album Friday night (7/22) at Union Hall with The Thieves and Finding Fiction.
Title Tracks
John Davis' post-Georgie James group, Title Tracks, are also here this weekend, playing Cake Shop on Saturday (7/23) with Face Time, Steel Phantoms and Follower. There's been a little shifting in the Title Tracks camp who are now playing as a (power) trio. There's a new Title Tracks album too, In Blank, which is another platter of terrific power pop in the Nerves/Shoes/Nick Lowe tradition. You can download "All Tricks" at the top of this post. I haven't seen the new line-up but if it's anywhere near as good as previous incarnations, I heartily endorse seeing Title Tracks live.
And finally, Montreal trio Parlovr are in town for two shows: Friday night (7/22) at Glasslands and then Monday (7/25) at Mercury Lounge opening for Cloud Control. Parlovr make good use of their visa and play here fairly often but I really do think they're great live and are absolutely worth checking out. As I wrote before:
Singers Louis Jackson and Alex Cooper semi face each other from opposite sides of the stage rocking back and forth like manic Drinking Birds, flipping their '90s skate rat hair around, while mountain man drummer Jeremy MacCuish holds down the beat. They clearly enjoy playing, and it's a lot of fun to watch too.Their new EP, Heaven/Hell/Big/Love, goes a long way to getting that live energy to a recording. You can download the title track, a live favorite of mine, at the top of this post.
That's it for this week. There are a few more day-by-day picks below.
Dent May has been on tour with Real Estate but plays a smaller show with Real Estate's Alex Bleeker and (underwater) peep Julian Lynch, at Glasslands. Prince Rama will be your DJs for the evening. Dent ditches the ukulele for his great new single "Fun" which is almost a dance track with its groovy bassline, keyboards and electronic handclaps. It's available digitally now, and the 7" is out physically in September. You can stream it below.
Cass McCombs, Lower Dens should make for a lovely evening of mellow music at Music Hall of Williamsburg.
The Monkees play for free at Coney Island at the Cyclones Stadium. While a lot of people just remember them for "Daydream Believer" they made a lot of great music, actually, and hopefully they'll play some deep cuts like "Randy Scouse Git" and "Forget That Girl." Hopefully they won't play that Davy Jones song from the Brady Bunch. Actually that songs pretty good.

Bill's Week in Austin (Day 3 - Wounded Lion, John Grant, PS I Love You, TSOOL, WhoMadeWho, Wye Oak, Versus & more)
by Bill Pearis
Wounded Lion @ Shangri La
After Wednedsay and Thursday... I spent most of Friday afternoon -- the hottest day of the fest, well into the '80s --at Sailor Jerry-sponsored East Side dive Shangri La where Chicago label Trouble in Mind was throwing a party in the back yard. Their party at Scoot Inn the year before was one of my favorites of SXSW2010 and I'd have to say the same the same of 2011. The label, run by husband and wife Bill & Lisa Roe (who are also in CoCoComa), is mostly a 7" label, releasing great singles from some of the best garage-pop artists around. Many of whom were there at Shangri La.
I got there as Seattle trio Night Beats were just starting. Never heard them before, but really dug their psych-garage sounds, and they definitely looked the part. They ended their set with a cover of The Count Five's classic "Psychotic Reaction," giving their version a little swing which made it their own. Look for Night Beats debut LP out on Trouble in Mind this summer.
While Cheap Time were playing, I noticed Lars Finberg milling about the yard...what was he doing here? The Intelligence were definitely not here, was his side-project Puberty playing and I didn't know it? No, he told me he was playing drums for L.A.'s Wounded Lion for their Austin shows. I was already looking forward to seeing WL, now even moreso.
I was getting a little antsy and decided to walk around the East Side a bit, stopping by Cheer Up Charlies where I caught a few songs by Norway's Tôg (who are in NYC as we speak) before heading back to the Trouble in Mind party to catch Nashville's The Paperhead. Looking a bit like Red Kross, the band -- all about 19 I think -- are trippier than anyone else on the bill. Their debut just came out on TiM.
Next up Wounded Lion, whose self-titled debut was one of last year's more underrated records. I think seeing them live would change naysayers opinion, they were one of the rockin'est, most fun shows of the week. Two singers: main man Brad Eberhard does the heavy lifting and guitar playing, while singer/percussionist Raffi Kalenderian is more in the Bob Nastanovich of the band, going apeshit with the tambourine and generally keeping things entertaining. There is much switching of instruments. They also let Lars Finberg take lead vocals for the Intelligence's "Turned to Puke." I really thought they'd do "Pony People," a Wounded Lion song that The Intelligence covered on Fake Surfers, but no. Great, great set.
I then Sprinted over to the BrooklynVegan party at Swan Dive for John Grant. Friday was hot and Swan Dive didn't seem to have AC or even ceiling fans and it was an oven in there, but it didn't matter. Another of my favorite shows of the week. I'd seen him play solo at Mercury Lounge, but this show was with Midlake, his backing band on last year's amazing Queen of Denmark. With the band, Grant's late-'70s leaning epics came to lush life. The drums sounded gigantic. So did Grant's voice. All that was missing was sequined clothing and glasses that made points of light look like starbursts. Highlights for me: power-ballad "Mars" and "Chicken Bones" which is some kind of sonic collision of Gordon Lightfoot and Harry Nilsson.

NAGPUR: The state assembly on Friday passed a resolution to revoke the suspension of BJP MLA Nana Patole. The MLA had been suspended on December 13 for one year and had been prohibited from entering Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai and Nagpur. He burnt paddy stalks in front of Vidhan Bhavan.
Speaker Dilip-Walse Patil said, even though Patole had done an extremely heinous act as he had tendered an apology, his suspension should be revoked. Most members voted in favour of it. tnnStrangely, BJP members heckled parliamentary affairs minister Harshwardhan Patil when he was tabling this proposal in the House.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — Gov. Mike Pence's plan to phase out business personal property taxes in Indiana would ultimately do more harm than good.
Local schools and government units count on the $1 billion the tax raises yearly to continue providing key services to Hoosiers. Without that money, Anderson, for example, would lose about $4 million a year, something the cash-starved municipality can hardly afford.
Some of the money goes to the general fund, for purposes such as paying police officers and firefighters. Losing the money would also cause local infrastructure to suffer, hindering (rather than helping) the city's ability to attract new businesses.
While Indiana must strive to stay competitive with other states in the economic development race, elimination of this tax would cut too deep. Pence doesn't have an answer for how to replace the money that would be lost; he says that's for the Indiana Legislature to figure out.
If the Legislature could wave a magic wand and make the missing money reappear, then elimination of the business personal property tax would be a good thing. But the Legislature has trouble enough conducting routine business, let alone pulling rabbits out of the hat.
Several years ago, the state's decision to cap property taxes put lots of public schools systems, including Anderson's, in dire financial straits. Then, the Daniels administration pulled $300 million out of the education budget to cover other state needs. The loss of business personal property tax money would be akin to kicking schools when they're down.
The long-range view shows clearly that improvement in K-12 education is a top priority in Indiana. Better education means a better workforce and less need for welfare. The loss of more tax money would send education in Indiana plummeting in the opposite direction.
Now is not the time, Gov. Pence, to get rid of the business personal property tax — that is, unless you come up with a plan for replacing the money in school and local government budgets.
In summary While Indiana must strive to stay competitive with other states in the economic development race, elimination of the business personal property tax would cut too deep.

As we reported yesterday and celebrated with GIFs today, Peter Capaldi is the 12th Doctor on Doctor Who. We knew his delightfully creative foul-mouth character Malcolm Tucker from the TV series The Thick Of It and the movie In The Loop would inevitably be mashed up with Doctor Who footage and pictures. And it has. Splendidly. The video below of the Scottish actor interacting with characters from Doctor Who as Malcolm Tucker is so cool. Like, bowties and fezzes cool.
We already know what his catchphrase will be:
Enjoy. (And it's clearly NSFW. Malcolm Tucker doesn't know how to complete a sentence without at least one threat involving horse penii and scatological humor.)
Now if you'll excuse me. I finally have a reason to post my favorite GIF set ever.
I bet it's from the Cybermen.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (BP) -- The Jacksonville Baptist Association is seeking a member church's resignation after the church hired a convicted sex-offender to provide pulpit ministry in January.
According to a statement by JBA lead missional strategist Rick Wheeler and moderator David Tarkington on March 2, the "pastoral staffing decision" of Christ Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in Jacksonville has caused the Florida association to initiate conversations with the congregation resulting in a "mutual understanding that it is necessary for CTMBC to leave" the association.
The person at the center of the controversy is Darrell Gilyard, a once-prominent and former Southern Baptist preacher who completed a three-year prison sentence in December for sex crimes against minors, according to the Florida Times-Union.
In a March 7 interview with Florida Baptist Witness, Wheeler said the Jacksonville Baptist Association has not yet received a letter from the church's leadership confirming its desire to withdraw from the association.
Not having received a response to a registered letter sent to the church, Wheeler said he was finally able to reach by telephone a deacon in the congregation, Elliot Chatman, who told him the church has decided to withdraw from the association.
As of March 8, Chatman had not returned a voice message left on his phone March 7 by the Witness.
Wheeler emphasized that the association has taken no formal action, but he wanted to begin a "conversation" with the church to confirm the facts, rather than rely upon news reports.
If the promised letter is not sent, "then I think the responsibility is back on us to take the next step in that conversation," Wheeler said.
The basis for possible action against CTMBC is a "leadership practice and behavior" of hiring a convicted sex-offender as a church leader who is "highly objectionable" to associational leaders, he said.
"We hold conferences and we actually train churches that they ought to protect their children by not allowing people who have a criminal record for crimes against children, particularly sexual crimes, to be in supervision over them," Wheeler explained.
"This is a sad situation," he said, adding that it's "tragic" that the association did not assist the congregation better.
"Why weren't we more actively engaged as an association with this congregation before this leadership decision happened so that we could have been more help and assistance and input?" he asked. "That's something we have to own as an association. We have to do a better job of reaching out to churches that have not been active and encouraging their participation to a level that we might be more help and assistance to them."
Christ Tabernacle, although a JBA member, has not financially supported the association since 2003 and has not provided statistical information to the association, Wheeler said, while emphasizing it was not on that basis the association was acting.
The congregation also has not contributed to the Florida Baptist Convention Cooperative Program in the past six years, FBC spokesman Don Hepburn said in a March 2 statement. CTMBC has been affiliated with the state convention since 1998.
The congregation is not in compliance with the Bylaw 2, which defines cooperation of churches with the Florida Baptist State Convention, because of the lack of CP contributions and the church's neglect in providing statistical information to the FBC, Hepburn said.
According to the bylaw, congregations that fail for three consecutive years either to contribute at least $250 annually to the Convention or to report annually statistical information are to be "counseled" by the State Board of Missions. A detailed procedure stipulates how that is to occur, Hepburn told the Witness.
Hepburn also told the Witness that should the congregation withdraw or be removed from the Jacksonville association, the church will no longer have affiliation with the Florida Baptist Convention.
Churches that are not part of local associations can be in fellowship with the Florida convention via "at-large" status, which requires approval of the State Board of Missions and the Florida Baptist State Convention.
In the March 2 statement, Hepburn said the Florida Baptist Convention "affirms the role of the local association as the theological guardian of theology, faith, practice and polity."
As part of a review of non-cooperating churches, Hepburn said convention staff members had attempted to make contact with Christ Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church concerning its lack of cooperation "even before the appointment of Darrell Gilyard as preacher."
Hepburn said FBC staff was able to contact CTMBC's chairman of deacons on March 1 to "express our concern about the ongoing relationship with the congregation."
He added, "The Florida Baptist Convention has taken a proactive stance to encourage all churches to run background checks on employees and volunteers -- as we do with every volunteer who works with children and teens in convention-sponsored events and programs."
Gilyard told the Times-Union he accepted the offer to preach at the church because he needed money and as a registered sex-offender it was difficult to find work.
Under terms of his three-year probation, Gilyard is required to avoid contact with minors, according to the Times-Union, which the church is accommodating by holding a separate worship service for minors.
The Florida Department of Corrections confirmed to the Times-Union that Gilyard's probation officer has approved the arrangement.
Wheeler told the Witness, while the arrangement may comply with Gilyard's probation, "it's a terrible church practice" to permit a registered sex-offender to be a congregational leader.
The Times-Union reported Feb. 10 that Gilyard's attorney filed a court motion seeking a change in his probation status to permit minors to attend worship services in which he preaches.
The motion was withdrawn after Judge Kevin Blazs said it was "premature" because a licensed therapist has not yet determined the appropriateness of the request, the Times-Union reported.
Gilyard was convicted in 2009 of sex crimes against two girls while he was pastor of Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville. That congregation, which Gilyard pastored for 15 years, was not a member of the Jacksonville Baptist Association at the time Gilyard was pastor but was recently granted "watch-care" membership and likely will be given full associational membership in November, Wheeler told the Witness.
"The only person God cannot call is the person who refuses to acknowledge, abhor and abandon his or her own sin," Gilyard told the Times-Union.
Gilyard gained national prominence in the late 1980s through his appearances on the late Jerry Falwell's "Old Time Gospel Hour." He also spoke at the Southern Baptist Convention and in many Southern Baptist churches.
According to various news accounts, Gilyard has resigned or been dismissed from at least five churches over the years for various sexual improprieties, some of which he has admitted and some he has denied.
In 2009, Gilyard admitted to fathering a child to a woman who claimed he raped her during a 2004 counseling session, according to the Times-Union.

Clark Conversation Cafes ~ Learning at Clark
Listening Salons, a portion of the Clark Conversation Cafes, focus on learning the art of listening in the first hour and practicing those skills by listening one-on one to each other in the second hour. Participants can share anything they wish to share and be really listened to. Great forum for getting things off your chest, airing an idea, making a decision, or expressing a dream you have.
These Listening salons will teach you how to really listen in a highly interactive tutorial facilitated by Clark Adjunct instructor of theater, Marci McReynolds who has taught close to 10,000 people how to really listen.
What does it mean to really listen?
Really listening can be thought of as a "social meditation" in which listeners deliberately bear witness to another's story. The characteristics of really listening are:

Paul Weber Endowed Chair in Politics, Science & Religion
Paul J. Weber was a deeply spiritual person, trained in Jesuit theology. Paul was convinced that religion and science are not incompatible; indeed he believed that each was critical in helping us understand the world around us. Colleagues and students remember Paul's concerns about religious extremists in America who advocate the politics of intolerance. He felt that debates over creationism, Darwinism and intelligent design would continue to polarize the country. Paul was convinced that religion has the power to enrich, even change, lives and is a force for much good in the world. Paul also realized that religion is frequently used by individuals, groups and nations to support narrow and self-serving political agendas. As a specialist in constitutional law, Paul was committed to the idea that government should be strictly neutral toward religion, not privileging any but rather providing conditions for the greatest religious liberty.
Toward the end of his life, Paul expressed his dream for an endowed chair at the University of Louisville. He wrote, "I'd like to see an endowed chair in politics, science and religion. I'd want the chair to be in political science, inhabited by a professor who understands social science, natural science and religious methodologies (and knows their differences). I'd also like the occupant to be a person who respects all three enough to do objective research. I'm interested in solid research, not polemics or ideology."
Paul regretted that many in academia did not appreciate the power of religion in forming our values. Many of the most pressing social questions of the day (poverty, ethnic and racial conflict, pollution, crime and corruption) cannot be addressed thorough a simple application of knowledge and scientific formulas. Paul felt that values must inform our decisions, guiding us toward just and effective public policies.
To honor Paul's legacy and to fulfill his vision for an endowed chair, family, friends, colleagues and former students are creating the Paul J. Weber Endowed Chair in Politics, Science and Religion. This Chair will advance a productive dialogue in the evolving relations between science and religion and will explore the political aspects of that relationship.
The chair holder will be expected to contribute a unique perspective to undergraduate and graduate programs at the University of Louisville, and will enrich the intellectual life of the community. The professor who holds this position will teach courses that will engage students in difficult but fundamentally important questions that impact our nation and the world.
We are asking those who knew Paul and his extraordinary contributions to education to help make his dream a reality.
For information about contributions to the Paul J. Weber Endowed Chair in Politics, Science and Religion, please contact Lori Kincaid, Director of Major Gifts for the College of Arts and Sciences at 502.852.6978 or by email.

How Baby & Child Fest Was Born…
My husband and I thought for years about the need for a Baby, Child and Family Expo in the New Orleans area and when we moved back to Metairie from Orlando, Florida in 2009, we decided it was time to make it happen. Scott grew up in Metairie and I grew up in Labadieville, outside Thibodaux.
We knew the concept would work, but in 2010 all we had was an idea. Lucky for us, 77 exhibitors and nine sponsors (including our Presenting Sponsor, Ochsner Medical Center – Kenner) believed in it enough to take a chance on us.
The result was a hugely successful first Baby & Child Fest. 200 people were lined up outside the Pontchartrain Center before we opened the doors. Approximately 3,000 people came through the doors during the six hour event. Years two, three and four were even bigger.
Now we're gearing up for the best-ever Baby & Child Fest. Our fifth annual event is October 4th, 2014!
Thanks for your support!

Stossel Gets Schooled
Stossel explains his new insights here:
My producers went to a meeting at the school to choose a class for me to teach. The union representative didn't come, so we were told no decisions could be made. Lots of people came to a second meeting at the school: four people from the union, one person from the city Department of Education, and administrators and teachers from Beacon. They decided I might teach history classes and "media studies," but they would have to talk to more people.
You would think my teaching had been my crazy idea. I was only trying to accept the union's offer.
I prepped for my history classes. We had more meetings. The school principal had me sit in on a class with a "superstar" teacher. It was supposed to be a history class, but he seemed to teach "victimhood in racist America." On the class door he posted a New York Times column denouncing the president for spending too much money on war. Can we say "left-wing"?
Then there were more meetings. Finally, four days before what was supposed to be my first day of class, they canceled. Officially, "they" were the public school administrators who said it might be "disruptive" and that it might "set a precedent" that would open their doors to other reporters.

Finding Vacuum Leaks (7 Posts)

Finding Vacuum LeaksHi folks
I have an old vacuum system that I've been trying to restore for the past few years. With the help of some more-than-competent plumbers--some who post here regularly (thanks Dave and Charles!)--we have made vast improvements to the system. We are heating evenly at low pressure and the vacuum system is back on line after many years of being out of service.
That said I have been chasing down vacuum leaks for the past couple of heating seasons, and though I have made significant improvement (it could hold a 2"hg vacuum for about 20 sec and now go for about five minutes) it is still quite leaky. The way I have been operating it is that I manually turn on the vacuum on the coldest days during the shoulder months and let it pump away continually for the really cold spells. I'm not sure if it can be wired so that the vacuum pump comes on only during a call for heat but the pumps are still actuated by the floats in the receiver at all times. It takes about 15 min. to evacuate the system to 2" hg, but maybe it is enough that it is pulling air only at start up?
Here's my main question, though: does anyone have a good method to quickly identify and seal vacuum leaks? I have been using a mechanics stethoscope, which has not provided sure-fire results, and it turns out than many of the leaks we've had are from less-than-perfect-seals at the thermostatic trap covers (we did complete gut replacements a couple years back) As well, I think I that one or more of the boiler sections is leaking air into the combustion chamber (I can detect a ssssssss through the rear of the boiler vent only when pulling a vacuum), yet I have not seen steam coming out the chimney in any significant way. The boiler has been abused and may not have many years left in it, but I'd like to keep it going for as long as I can. Can anyone recommend a cleaner/stop-leak product combo that I might have decent results with at this point? I've been looking at the Hercules products.
I figured now that spring is here I would have a chance to completely fill the boiler and bring it up to temp with the proper stop-leak product, then flush and fill, cycle it a couple of times and let it rest. That might give me an opportunity to chase down more leaks in the summer with only the pump(s). I know nothing about these products, however, and do not want to do more harm than good.

Hello JimThe best way to find a leak is to close off the boiler supply and return valves, remove the side jackets and bring it up to 5 to 10 pounds pressure. A leak is very straight forward to find under pressure. The stop leak often fails to work if the leak is above the water line and causes issues with flow pipes if used in excess. You can always call my cell # to talk in detail.Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

I assumeyou have a 2 pipe system with vacuum condensate return pumps. If so, you may be dealing with 3 separate problems; valve leakage in the vacuum pump, air leakage in the return lines, and also leakage on the steam side.
As a first step, I would check for valve leakage on the vacuum pump. You may be loosing vacuum here, rather than in the system. Different vacuum condensate return pumps have different valve arrangements. If I knew what vacuum pump you had, I could offer specific guidance.
As for finding vacuum leaks in the return lines, the peppermint vapor test is probably the best. You don't need a high volume compressor for this. Using the air discharge from a shop vac should do the trick. Valve off the vacuum pump's receiver tank, and then blow peppermint vapors into the return lines.
I can't tell you where leaks usually occur, but I would suspect around valve stem packing or maybe corroded threaded joints.
Ideally, your vacuum pumps should be controlled by vacuum switch(es). The usual settings are on at 3" Hg, off at 8" Hg., maintaining an average of 5.5" Hg. vacuum throughout the heating season.
What steam pressure are you heating with? You really don't need more than 2 psi.

I really can't sayhow much would be needed. On a vacuum heating pump of the type I believe this is, the usual arrangement is to add the peppermint oil to the receiver to mix with the condensate. Valve off the receiver from the system, and open it to allow air from atmosphere to enter. Now, make a temporary connection from the vacuum pump's air discharge pipe to the return line, upstream of the closed off valve, blow the mint vapors into the system, and follow your nose to the leaks.
I suppose a shop vac with some water and mint oil in it's tank and it's air discharge piped into the return line could also be used to blow in the vapors.
I was advised to use "Creme de Minthe water soluble oil flavoring". My records show this is available from Bickford Flavors, Cleveland, Oh. Phone 1-800 283 8322 or 1-216 531 6006. My notes from 2007 show a price of 6.95 for 4 oz. or 24.59 for 12 oz. I'm told they take Visa and MasterCard.
I hope this is of some help. I would really like to know if this test is actually performed and what the results were.Specializing in vacuum pumps for steam heating systems, especially older Nash Jennings units. We build new ones too!

How about a sniffer?DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A HEATING OR COOLING PROFESSIONAL.
I am under the impression that HVAC techs have a device used for determining locations of refrigerant leaks. Could something like that be used to pinpoint leaks? It might be more sensitive in finding the leaks without smelling up the building. ( I personally do not like the smell of peppermint.)
I am also curious what you would use to seal up any pinholes or leaking joints you would find.
Do you have the ability to isolate a single floor at a time when searching for leaks?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Opening statements for the army psychiatrist facing the death penalty in the shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
Nidal Hasan is charged with killing 13 soldiers and injuring 32 in 2009.
Hasan told jurors "the evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter."
He is representing himself, and planned to argue that he carried out the attack to protect insurgents fighting U-S troops.
But the judge blocked his strategy.
A prosecutor said Hasan thoroughly planned the attack, and then tried to "kill as many soldiers as he could."
The 13 jurors are all military officers.

A K-9 officer tracked down a burglary suspect during a police search in Lebanon.
Authorities were dispatched to the 1000 block of Quentin Road for an alarm at Puffs Super Value Tobacco Shop at around 1:20 a.m. on November 30.
Upon arrival police determined that someone had broken a window and burglarized the store.
A responding patrol officer saw a man with a backpack leaving the area on a bicycle. The man refused to stop for police and fled the scene into neighboring yards in the 800 block of S. 12th Street.
Police established a perimeter and deployed newly acquired K-9 Apollo to track the suspect. Apollo found the bicycle and backpack and then located the man hiding in a line of shrubbery.
The suspect had in his possession items taken in the burglary including lockbox containing cash.
Police have charged 21-year-old Justin Oliver of Lebanon with burglary, criminal trespass and possessing instruments of crime. He was arraigned and placed in Lebanon County Correctional Facility on $100,000 bail.
Later that same morning at around 7:45 a.m. police were dispatched to Royer's Flowers at in the 800 block of S. 12th Street for a burglary.
When staff opened the business for the day, they discovered the office had been ransacked and a safe had been damaged but not entered. Officials determined the suspect(s) entered the building through a vent in the greenhouse portion of the business.
The investigation is ongoing, and police believe this burglary may be related to the burglary at Puffs Super Value.

The Moon moves away from the earth - Is the theory correct ?

The Moon moves away from the earth - Is the theory correct ?
Okay, here goes. Because gravity falls off with distance, there is a differential in the Moon's gravity across the Earth. This differential is call a tidal force. The tidal force raises bulges in the ocean called tidal bulges. If nothing else interfered, these tidal bulges would align with the Moon.
The Earth, however, rotates. As it does so, friction between the Earth and the tidal bulges tries to drag the bulges along with the Earth. As a result, the tidal bulges lead the Moon a little. The moon tries to pull back on the bulges, but this alos means the bulges pull forward on the Moon. This transfers angular momentum from the Earth to the Moon. The Moon tries to speed up in its orbit. But doing so causes it to climb into a higher orbit and the Moon recedes from the Earth.
As far as the recession being faster when the Moon was younger, its not that simple. There are a lot of factors besides the difference in gravitational attraction. The friction between the Earth and the tidal bulges has a huge effect. Reduce the friction and the bulges lead the Moon by less and thus pull forward on the Moon less, causing a lower recession rate.
The continents play a large role in determining this friction. Because of plate tectonics, the continents weren't always in the configuration they are now. In fact, in the past they were clustered together in one landmass centered on the pole. In this configuration, they offered little resistance to the tidal bulges and the friction between Earth and the bulges is greatly reduced causing a much smaller recession rate then otherwise.

Yin Yoga & Anatomy
September 22-27, 2014 with Jee Moon
Yin yoga classes are becoming more and more popular as students realize how the practice complements and benefits yang styles of yoga (Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Power) and balances active and sometimes chaotic lifestyles. As yin yoga is unique from other yoga styles, it is essential that teachers have specific knowledge and skills to lead a safe and effective yin yoga class.
The Yin Yoga and Anatomy Training Course is designed for yoga teachers and teachers-in-training and will offer instruction on building a solid, enjoyable yin yoga class through the study of human anatomy and energy. A strong understanding of anatomy is the foundation of teaching yoga, and teaching yin yoga requires a specific comprehension of the interplay of muscles, joints, and fascia. This course will provide in-depth, hands-on anatomy training, as well as the theory and practice of teaching yin yoga -- including understanding energy, class sequencing, and adjusting/assisting.
Although yin yoga is not a trademarked style and no certification is required to teach it, those completing this course will receive a certificate noting 50 hours of yin yoga training and the skills and confidence to add yin classes to their teaching practice.

By Shawn Regan
---- — HAVERHILL — Mayor James Fiorentini said he is open to suggestions in drawing the boundaries of a new downtown zone aimed at spurring projects that include market-rate housing in under-used old factory buildings.
Fiorentini is asking the City Council to approve the plan, which relies on a new state program called Chapter 40V that makes tax breaks and other financial incentives available to developers that build market-rate housing. Similar state programs in the past have focused on homes for low-income people. The mayor said the state has $5 million available to subsidize market-rate housing projects in Haverhill and other so-called Gateway Cities.
"In the past, these tax credits have been for low-income housing only, but we want to add market-rate housing to our downtown," Fiorentini said. "If we adopt this new law and designate Merrimack Street and parts of the riverfront in Bradford as our 40V district, we will be able to encourage market-rate housing in our downtown and along the river."
City Council agreed to hold a public hearing on the proposal April 16, and to vote after the hearing.
Councilor William Ryan said the sooner the city adopts the 40V law and establishes the development zone, the better the chances it will have of receiving money.
"It's only $5 million, so you know it's going to go fast," Ryan said. "We need to be aggressive and get in their first, to bring people with disposable income to help our stores and businesses."
The mayor said a similar downtown zone the city established about eight years ago led to the redevelopment of several old factory buildings and more than 500 new apartments and condos in the area.
"The city is currently in discussions with several developers interested in constructing mixed-use projects within the boundaries of the zone," a document outlining the mayor's proposal said. "It is expected that as these discussions continue, the proposed projects will meet the specifications of the Housing Development Plan and these developers will be applying for Tax Increment Exemptions."
The mayor said his new plan is designed to target vacant upper floors in many large downtown buildings, especially on Merrimack Street — the eastern end of downtown.
"These buildings, because of their location in the heart of downtown, adjacent to Washington Street and its numerous restaurants and next to the Merrimack River, are prime locations for market-rate housing," according to the mayor's proposal. "The implementation of the plan will increase pedestrian activity, generate new tax revenue, decrease downtown's vacancy rate, promote upper-story development and rehabilitate historical buildings."
Fiorentini said the city is using a $1.2 million state grant to repair and improve the Merrimack Street parking garage to support more housing. Parking is critical to the plan because tenants will need parking.
On the Washington Street end of downtown, the mayor's proposal says there are 135 parking spaces in the new 315-space parking garage that are currently available for "new residential developments downtown to lease" for tenants. In the garage, 180 spaces are currently being leased by nearby residential developments, the plan said.
The city also has state money to improve the Merrimack Street area. It will be used to plant trees, build and rehabilitate sidewalks and install lighting and benches along the street, the river and the new rail trail recreations pathway on the Bradford side of downtown, the mayor said.

News: Amber Rose Deads Kanye West Death Reports, "This RIP Kanye West Topic Is Not Funny & It's Not True!"
Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 11:25AM
Kanye West associate Amber Rose has cleared up rumors which began Wednesday (October 21) morning claiming the award-winning producer had mysteriously died.
Writing via Twitter, Rose lashed out against the gossip and also began a trending topic called LongLiveYeezy.
"This RIPKanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much," she wrote Wednesday morning. "Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this where all human and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. U wouldn't want someone to say that about u. Or someone u love it's not funny." (Amber Rose's Twitter)
Reports of Yeezy's alleged passing circulated early Wednesday.
It is believed to have started on social networking site Twitter. The phrase " RIP Kanye West" was one of the top tags on Twitter in the early hours on Wednesday and the phrase "Kanye West Dead" was the top search trend on Google overnight. This shows how rapidly false information can travel because of social networking sites. (My Fox News)
Speaking via his blog, Yeezy previously called out the numerous Twitter users whom intentionally created fake accounts in his name last May.
"(This spaz comes courtesy of losers making fake Kanye West Twitter accounts) I don't have a f*cking Twitter," Ye wrote unmodified. "Why would I use Twitter??? I only blog five percent of what I'm up to in the first place. I'm actually slow delivering content because I'm too busy actually busy being creative most of the time and if I'm not and I'm just laying on a beach I wouldn't tell the world. Everything that Twitter offers I need less of. The people at Twitter know I don't have a f*cking Twitter so for them to allow someone to pose as me and accumulate over a million names is irresponsible and deceitful to their faithful users. Repeat. The heads of Twitter knew I didn't have a Twitter and they have to know which accounts have high activity on them. It's a f*cking farce and it makes me question what other so called celebrity Twitters are actually real or fake. Hey Twitter, take the so called Kanye West Twitter down now. Why? Because my caps locks is loud!!!!!!!!" (Kanye West's Blog)
With over one million followers, the person behind 50 Cent's Twitter account, Chris Romero, recently emerged and explained his duties.
On March 1, he shared this insight with the more than 200,000 people who follow him: "My ambition leads me through a tunnel that never ends." Those were 50 Cent's words, but it was not exactly him tweeting. Rather, it was Chris Romero, known as Broadway, the director of the rapper's Web empire, who typed in those words after reading them in an interview. "He doesn't actually use Twitter," Mr. Romero said of 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, "but the energy of it is all him." (New York Times)
