New Mississippi Rebels coach Hugh Freeze appears to be a man of continuity. He's bringing over four coaches from his Arkansas State staff, including defensive coordinator Dave Wommack. Additionally, "Maurice Harris will serve as tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator, Tom Allen will be the linebackers coach, and Chris Kiffin was named defensive line coach."
Wommack excelled for at least one year at Arkansas State, ranking No. 21 in total defense this year after a No. 105 showing in his first year. The Red Wolves ranked No. 41 before the great Freeze began. His last Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets defense ranked No. 53 -- with Derrick Morgan and Morgan Burnett aboard -- after ending up No. 25 the year before. So this could end up any number of ways.
Harris is likely the second most important hire. He has Oxford experience and has coached throughout SEC West country.

As had been reported, Arkansas St. Red Wolves coach Hugh Freeze is returning to Oxford. The up-and-coming offensive guru has been named the new head coach of the Mississippi Rebels, replacing Houston Nutt. Archie Manning recorded a special announcement just for you.
Freeze had a few words to say of his own:
@HughFreeze_ASU To the players at Arkansas State. I LOVE EACH and EVERYONE of you. I'm sorry, i truly am. I hope that in time you will forgive me.
Freeze has shot through the ranks, coaching at a Tennessee high school (where one of his players, Michael Oher, went on to fame and fortune) and at NAIA Lambuth, with a stop as an Ole Miss assistant along the way. His points-scoring acumen is well-regarded, but obvious questions remain about his ability to win at a level as high as the SEC.

Arkansas St. Red Wolves head coach Hugh Freeze will become the next coach of the Mississippi Rebels, SBNation.com's Steven Godfrey confirmed Saturday night. You may recall Mr. Godfrey from such acts as breaking the news of Houston Nutt's firing, along with the news of Pete Boone's dismissal.
Freeze has led Arkansas State to its first-ever 10-win FBS season and its first-ever Sun Belt title. He doesn't have much top-shelf experience, having worked two years at Ole Miss and otherwise at NAIA Lambuth and at a Tennessee high school. He's scored a lot of points along the way, though.
Speaking of Ole Miss, you may best remember Freeze as Micheal Oher's high school coach in The Blind Side.
One other name to eye for Rebels fans: Dave Wommack, defensive coordinator. He currently holds the same position with Freeze, having ran the defenses of Georgia Tech and UNLV in his career.

Ole Miss reportedly tried the hard sell on Southern Mississippi head coach Larry Fedora, but may be turning its attention to Hugh Freeze. According to a report on Saturday night, Freeze is expected to meet with Ole Miss officials on Sunday, and will receive an offer to be the Rebels next head coach at that time. Freeze is expected to accept, though nothing is final yet.
The report comes from Rebel Grove and includes information about Ole Miss' reported pursuit of Fedora.
Sources told RebelGrove.com Saturday Southern Miss coach Larry Fedora rejected an offer from Ole Miss. A source said late Saturday Ole Miss was expected to make one final pitch to Fedora before turning its full attention to Freeze.
This has nothing to do with the Ole Miss opening, but it's kind of amazing. Hugh Freeze could have been a women's basketball coach.

Alabama Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart has not yet interviewed for the Mississippi Rebels head coaching job, according to Don Kausler Jr. of AL.com. Smart had been widely reported earlier in the week as a top Ole Miss candidate.
According to the report, Smart has been "on the road recruiting all week with Nick Saban," and goodness help the coach who takes time away from a recruiting trip while Nick Saban is around.
Smart has no glaring connections to Mississippi, having spent the majority of his football career in Georgia and Alabama, along with stints in Florida. He's long been associated with the Georgia Bulldogs job, which you'll note isn't quite as available right now as it was expected to be by some.
Soon, the entire SEC will be nothing but Saban disciples.

Tuesday night, Alabama Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart emerged as a surprise candidate for the Mississippi Rebels job, according to a spate of reports. Surprising because it's believed he could do better -- he's supposedly been next in line for the Georgia Bulldogs job.
Kicking things off, Red Cup Rebellion (the first site to get a link out regarding Houston Nutt's post-Egg Bowl firing, the day before it was announced) passed along the new rumor:
@RedCupRebellion A source close to the Cup has informed us that Alabama DC Kirby Smart is to be hired as the OM head coach. Announcement later this week.
Skeptics were skeptical, since it came out of nowhere. A contrary report:
@ChaseGoodbread Don't believe, at this point, that rumored Glenn/Manning/Smart meeting happened today. Still working phones but beginning to doubt.
Then, ESPN's Joe Schad confirmed the suggestion, to a degree:
@schadjoe Ole Miss is in fact very interested in Alabama DC Kirby Smart
Being interested is much different than being about to hire, of course. And Schad doesn't imply that Smart is likewise interested. But it does appear there's at least something there, on the school's side.

Despite being one of the first to declare themselves on the market in the 2011 coaching carousel, the Mississippi Rebels have already watched a handful of schools lock up their next skippers. The Gus Malzahn rumor came and went, leaving Southern Miss' Larry Fedora, Arkansas State's Hugh Freeze, and Louisiana-Lafayette's Mark Hudspeth as the presumed final three.
You might be able to make that the final two, if Oxford radio is on its game. The Reb Sports Radio Network reports Hudspeth has turned down Ole Miss after an interview, though the details -- his work history is an issue because it includes Mississippi State? -- sound too bizarre even for Ole Miss. The popular thinking there: if Dan Mullen goes to Penn State, former quarterbacks coach Hudspeth could accompany him.
Freeze, who's also believed to have interviewed, has issued a non-denial rebuttal to the rumor circuit:
"I want to be clear that my focus right now is on our players and our football team's game against Troy this week," said Freeze. "We want to minimize distractions and finish this outstanding season strong. Myself and our team are 100 percent focused on the difficult task we have ahead of us this week facing a very talented Troy team.
"This is a process that is a part of this business, but I also want to express how ecstatic I am to be the head football coach at Arkansas State University."

Black Sunday added quite a few programs to the "Now Hiring" list. Let's catch up on both the strength of each program and who they might try to hire.
The two biggest coaching positions available, presuming Urban Meyer to Ohio State, are the Mississippi Rebels and the North Carolina Tar Heels. Well, UNC isn't open yet, but a new athletic director isn't going to hang on to an interim coach. Auburn Tigers assistant had been hotly rumored to Carolina, but wait:
@CharlesRobinson Talked w/ heavy hitter in coach representation. Says Gus Malzahn is favoring Ole Miss, & UNC is locking onto Skip Holtz.
That's Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports fame, so we'll go ahead and peg Malzahn and South Florida Bulls coach Holtz as the favorites at those positions. Doesn't mean they'll end up with those jobs, but it is interesting.
Malzahn has been the favored acquisition of Ole Miss fans since before Houston Nutt was fired. He'd been loosely attached to the UNC job, but Ole Miss may be willing to pay more. Houston Nutt was making slightly more than Butch Davis was, but Malzahn's price tag (he reportedly turned down a $3 million-per-year offer from Vanderbilt) could've put him out of the reach of the Heels' football budget. Openly speculating all over the place.

Despite the fact that Houston Nutt was fired last week by Ole Miss as its head football coach, he will remain on through the season-ending Egg Bowl to see it through. However, the university will not stand pat on the administrative duties that exist within a college football program and has named wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer as the head of the "transition team" heading into the off-season.
...wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer will handle recruiting and player relations during the period between the Egg Bowl and when a new coach is hired.
"He's going to head up the transition team," athletic director Pete Boone said.
This is Brewer's first year with the school, however he has strong ties to the university. His father, Billy, was head coach of the football team from 1983-93 and remains an active onlooker at practices. Ole Miss hired Brewer as their associate head coach/passing game coordinator/wide receivers coach after six seasons as an assistant with the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
In case you're wondering how strong Brewer's ties are to Ole Miss and its search committee for a new coach (headed by Archie Manning), there's a nice photo of Brewer with Peyton Manning on his slightly-outdated website.
Ole Miss says it would like to have a new coaching staff in place by mid-December.

In today's edition of wild, out of nowhere coaching rumors, Tony Dungy's name was floated as a possible replacement for Houston Nutt at Ole Miss.
Source: Tony Dungy to be targeted by Ole Miss football search committee, led by Archie Manning and MIke Glenn. @CSpire — @HeadtoHeadRadio via Twitter
As a reminder, Dungy has been out of coaching since 2008 and has never coached at the college level. While there is a loose connection here -- Archie Manning is the father of Peyton Manning, who played under Dungy with the Colts -- there's little more than that. He has no connections to the state, nor has he shown any indication he's open to a return to coaching.
So take that as you will and prepare for plenty of swirling rumors as the Ole Miss coaching search ramps up in earnest over the course of the next few weeks.

Former Texas Tech Red Raiders coach Mike Leach, who was fired from Texas Tech by Craig James for no good reason, doesn't sound like he'd turn down a chance to interview for the newly available Mississippi Rebels job. He was quoted on the matter by a Commercial Appeal story:
"I haven't heard from anybody, but I'm not too hard to find," Leach said. "It's a great job. I'm sure the (Ole Miss) administration has a certain individual it is looking for, and I'm sure they'll find the right guy."
Leach is at least interested in just about every job, and has mentioned everything from North Carolina to UCLA as potential ports. Ole Miss, despite its large network of of forward-thinking sports fans, is very much an ole-boy school, as far as the power figures go. Leach will almost certainly find a better fit elsewhere, which isn't really a criticism of either Leach or Ole Miss.

The next Ole Miss coach won't have an utter disaster to clean up, but Rebels fans aren't going to be satisfied with just any old hire after a string of disappointments.
Pete Boone's third failed coaching tenure will officially be his last at the University of Mississippi. After an adversarial relationship with David Cutcliffe (the program's most consistent coach in three decades) ended in a hast firing, and despite weathering the entirety of the Ed Orgeron debacle, the stunningly schizoid run of Houston Nutt at Ole Miss was given an official expiration date on Monday, and Boone along with it.
The Rebels fired their third football coach since 2004 on Monday. This time the administration's trigger man, known to have had stilted relationships with all three men, overshadowed a head football coach's dismissal. Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones announced that Boone would step down as athletic director, but would stay up until but not exceeding December 2012. The timetable move is assumed to appease fans frustrated with the overall malaise of the Rebels' "Big Three" sports (a glut we outlined earlier today) while still standing tough against the "Forward Rebels" campaign that has dogged Jones and Boone through various newspaper ads and media outlets. Jones, still young in his tenure as Chancellor, likely wants to send a message that he won't be bullied
Sources have told SBNation.com that it's highly unlikely Boone will stay on until December 2012, and that a replacement will likely be named by next summer. Boone is the chair of the SEC athletic director's association and will see out the remainder of the 2011-'12 academic year.
Jones also announced that Boone will not be involved in the search for a new Rebel coach (Boone famously declared that Nutt would be his "last head coaching hire" in December of 2007), and that a committee co-chaired by former Ole Miss player Archie Manning and FedEx Executive Vice President Mike Glenn. Jones also confirmed that the same committee would chair a search for a new athletic director. Jones said that Manning and Glenn had yet to meet regarding the matter.
When questioned, Jones also responded to the other most notable topic surrounding Ole Miss: the continued controversy among a vocal group of fans and alumni regarding the replacement of the schools' Colonel Rebel on-field mascot with the Mississippi Black Bear. Jones slammed the dissent by stating that "schools with a pig and a chicken for mascots have had plenty of success," and remained steadfast in supporting the student-led vote for the black bear.
As for Nutt, the lame duck coach seemed shaken at first while addressing the media, but quickly launched into trademark proselytizing. He cited Ole Miss' location relative to other SEC schools as a hindrance to recruiting (a fact he used to highlight the school's potential when he was hired in '07) and various injuries (most notably linebacker D.T. Shackelford this spring) and recruiting misfires as a reason for his 6-14 record the last two seasons. Nutt also told the media "you're not far off" repeatedly, in reference to the talent recruited to Ole Miss in Nutt's last two signing classes.
How Ole Miss handles the two-fold hiring process will define the long-term future of the university's athletic identity. Despite the on-field implosion under Nutt since last season, money has poured into the "Forward Together" capital campaign (unofficially titled to respond to dissent groups like "Forward Rebels"), created to address building a brand new basketball arena and bowling in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, among other projects.
In a bizarre turn, Nutt inadvertently endorsed the fund raising efforts when he acknowledged that a program the size and funding of Ole Miss' created a challenge competing in the SEC. "It's like fighting giants out there sometime. Do you think Florida likes having four losses? Do you think Tennessee does? They're going to do everything they can to get better."
Nutt will coach the final three games of Ole Miss' season: this Saturday's homecoming against Louisiana Tech, November 19 hosting undefeated LSU, and the season finale at Mississippi State November 26.

As reported by SB Nation's Steven Godfrey, the Mississippi Rebels have announced football coach Houston Nutt will not remain as head coach beyond the 2011 season. Nutt will remain through the end of the year before stepping down. There's no word yet on his replacement, though Bruce Feldman has reported a committee of Archie Manning's will be in charge of the search.
Nutt commented on his impending exit:
My time at Ole Miss has been very special, and I've enjoyed working with a wonderful group of athletes and the Ole Miss community at large. Change is never easy, but I understand why it's necessary. My attention is on finishing out the 2011 season and winning this Saturday.
Athletic director Pete Boone announced he'll step down at some point within the next year, though the date for his resignation isn't quite as clear.
When Coach Nutt arrived four years ago, I said publicly he would be the last coach I would hire. I meant it. On several occasions over the past year, Chancellor Jones and I have discussed what would happen if a disappointing football season resulted in a coaching change, including whether a change would affect my timetable as athletics director. When I decided we need new leadership in the football program, I knew it was also the right time for new leadership in the athletics department."

Embattled University of Mississippi athletic director Pete Boone will step down along with head football coach Houston Nutt this afternoon.
Sources confirmed that Boone's role in the search for Ole Miss' next head coach as well as the rest of his duties will either be "reduced or eliminated entirely." Boone has been athletic director at Ole Miss for 13 years, and with Nutt's expected firing today, has overseen the dismissal of three head football coaches (David Cutcliffe, Ed Orgeron) since 2004.
Boone has been the No. 1, and, at times, sole target of the "Forward Rebels" campaign, set up by fans and alumni of Ole Miss to demand a change in the athletic department's management. Ole Miss holds several dubious distinctions in the SEC's three largest revenue generating sports: the Rebels have never played in the SEC Championship game in football (the only SEC Western Division team not to), its baseball team has not reached the College World Series since 1972 despite numerous upgrades to its stadium and facilities, and has the conference's longest NCAA Tournament drought of any mens basketball team (2002).
Several reports have claimed that former Ole Miss football player and CBS analyst Archie Manning will help conduct the search for the Rebels' next head football coach.
The Ole Miss press conference will stream live at Rebel Vision at 3 p.m. ET today.

As reported by SBNation.com's Steven Godfrey, the Mississippi Rebels have announced they will hold a press conference at 3 pm ET, featuring Houston Nutt. Athletic director Pete Boone will also attend. SBNation.com has reported it will be announced that Nutt will be fired, while RebelGrove.com reported Nutt will finish out the season before officially stepping down and Red Cup Rebellion reported on Sunday that Nutt wouldn't last beyond the Egg Bowl.
Taken together, the story is that Nutt won't coach Ole Miss beyond this season, and that the details will be made public Monday afternoon in Oxford. The job status of Boone isn't quite so clear, but we've also reported that his job is in significant danger of its own.

Houston Nutt has been fired by the University of Mississippi as its head football coach, according to sources. Ole Miss will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. CT today to announce that Nutt will step down as head coach.
RebelGrove.com's Neal McCready is reporting that Nutt will finish the season as head coach.
Nutt's record at Ole Miss in four seasons stands at 24-23 (10-20 SEC), with 18 of those wins coming in his first two years in Oxford. The Rebels have three games remaining: this Saturday's homecoming game against Louisiana Tech, then rivalry games hosting BCS No. 1 ranked LSU on November 19, and the "Egg Bowl" at Mississippi State on November 26. Nutt is 1-2 against Mississippi State as head coach of Ole Miss, and 0-2 against current State head coach Dan Mullen.
For more information on the Rebels, visit Red Cup Rebellion.
Reports of a 10 a.m. CT press conference in Oxford, Mississippi, to announce, well, anything regarding the future of Ole Miss' football program are untrue. However, rumors swirl that Rebels head coach Houston Nutt has or will be fired following Ole Miss' 30-13 loss to Kentucky on Saturday.
Nutt's future might actually be of secondary concern in Oxford: The rise of "Forward Rebels," a group of self-described concerned fans and alumni, has put pressure on University of Mississippi athletic director Pete Boone to step down, with multiple newspaper advertisements and media appearances beginning after the 2010-'11 athletic season yielded no postseason appearances in the Rebels' three largest revenue generating sports, football, basketball and baseball.
"If [Boone's] job wasn't in question as well, we would probably have seen a decision on Nutt made by now," said one source inside the University of Mississippi Athletic Department.
The loss to the Wildcats Saturday was the program's 12th consecutive in the conference dating back to last season, when Nutt followed two nine-win seasons at Ole Miss by with an overtime loss at home to FCS opponent Jacksonville State in the season opener. Ole Miss is currently 2-7 (0-6 SEC). In the program's 120 year history, Ole Miss has never suffered ten losses in a single season.

Mississippi Rebels head football coach Houston Nutt has said he hasn't been told by administrators that his job is on the line, Hugh Kellenberger of the Clarion-Ledger posts. Nutt is also quoted as saying no such meeting has been scheduled.
"I guess they're hearing what you're hearing," Nutt said. "Nobody has met, nobody has called."
Nutt has been found his seat uncomfortable for most of the season, with criticism approaching a frenzy after Ole Miss lost to the Kentucky Wildcats, all but ensuring the Egg Bowl against the Mississippi St. Bulldogs will be the Rebels' only chance to score a SEC win all season. Unless you think they have a chance against the No. 1 LSU Tigers next week, of course.
The height of madness occurred late Saturday night, when rumors broke of Nutt being fired right after the Ole Miss-Kentucky game. Like, as he walked off the field, apparently. Somewhat more sober Sunday morning reports had Nutt being informed he wouldn't remain as coach for next season.

Mississippi Rebels coach Houston Nutt has perhaps the country's hottest seat -- and that was before losing his 12th-straight SEC game, and losing it to the lowly Kentucky Wildcats. After the game, he was asked about his job status moving forward:
I don't know. I don't know. That's not for me to decide. I'd like to be. I plan on being. But that's not for me to decide.
According to one report, the decision has already been made. Citing sources, Red Cup Rebellion reports Nutt is aware he won't coach Ole Miss beyond the rivalry game against the Mississippi St. Bulldogs. The report also states Nutt will meet with administrators soon to determine whether he'll remain as coach until then.
Associate head coach Gunter Brewer is expected to take over as interim head coach, whenever it is that Nutt is dismissed. We'll trust this report is accurate, though Nutt is quite clearly on the way out regardless of what he's been told.

Houston Nutt, college football photo of the week contests will find you, wherever it is that you land.
Mississippi Rebels fans aren't happy with athletic director Pete Boone. This may have become obvious to you at some point. Now former Ole Miss players are joining in -- Jerrell Powe, a former defensive tackle now with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Powe was a five-star recruit who chose Ole Miss over Auburn and LSU, but spent years in prep schools before finally being admitted to play. He became a starter and was picked in the sixth round. Here's the text of his letter to Forward Rebels, an Ole Miss fan group that concerns itself with Boone's eventual replacement, in which Powe alleges Boone "discouraged" him during his academic "struggle."
Dear Ole Miss Friends:
Today, I am a Forward Rebel.
I have struggled for years about whether to take a stand against some of the problems at Ole Miss, and those things have been easier to put aside while playing in the NFL. But, now that thousands are finally speaking up, I am encouraged to state the truth.
Ole Miss Athletics can do better. As you all know, I worked for several years just to be able to be an Ole Miss Rebel, and I was driven by my two dreams: to play in the NFL and to get an education. I've achieved the first goal, and I plan on coming back and working to finish my degree during my off-seasons. During my struggle, many people encouraged me, and many people from Ole Miss were instrumental in my admission and career. Some were not.
Throughout my two and a half year fight to go to college, one voice of encouragement was noticeably missing, and that voice was Athletic Director Pete Boone's. While you would think that Mr. Boone would want me to go to school, and even more to play for Ole Miss, he was, if anything, discouraging to me during my struggle. Although many are familiar with Mr. Boone's desire to keep me out, I have held it back for a while.
But, now is the time to speak, and I am excited that Ole Miss fans are finally calling for change. Although I have a personal story to share here, Ole miss is personal to all of our fans, and I hope that Ole Miss will step up and go get that national candidate who can lead Ole Miss out of the past and into the future.
It's Time!

It's Hot Seat Monday! With over half of the regular season now in the books, let's take a look at the coaches least likely to be on the sideline this time next year (or, in some cases, a few weeks from now).
If Urban Meyer or Jon Gruden aren't listed as candidates for your school's vacant (or soon-to-be vacant) coaching job, then a certain famous pirate probably is. Let's look at the openings that could await Mr. Swing Your Sword this winter.
Mississippi Rebels fans are unhappy with athletic director Pete Boone, and are making that information widely available. Five and likely six losing football seasons in eight years will do that to a fan base. Plus Ole Miss is probably bad at some other sports too, which doesn't help. They're probably really good at some, too. Look on the bright side, y'all.
Chancellor Dan Jones sent a letter to the school's athletic association members, which Red Cup Rebeliion shared and which maintains the verbose tradition that has been established as the preferred style in this debate:
Many are aware of anonymous, malicious and public attacks on athletics director Pete Boone. The Ole Miss family may not be aware, however, that as a part of this orchestrated campaign, I have received threats, promising that if I do not remove Pete Boone, "It is going to get real ugly," and threatening to expand the attacks to other athletics employees.
Friends, supporters and the media have asked how I will react to this anonymous and vicious pressure. The short answer is that I will not react.
To maintain accreditation, the university must remain "free from undue influence from political, religious and other external bodies." I would be less than the chancellor Ole Miss needs if I reacted to these polarizing tactics employed by anonymous critics. To do so would not only threaten the university's accreditation, but it also would impair future university leaders by encouraging others to use such tactics to achieve personal, political or unsavory agendas or to harm the university.
As a university, we are committed to excellence in all things-including athletics. I regularly review the performance of all those who report to me, including Mr. Boone. But I cannot and will not engage in any sort of review in response to a public campaign to force his removal.
That's only about half of it. William Faulkner was from Oxford. Everybody in Oxford just kind of writes and writes and writes, apparently.

Andrew Luck, who is expected to be the #1 pick and quarterback taken this year, has not proven himself to be a elite NFL player. Yet, that does not worry some Colts "fans" as they wished upon losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars, our division rivals, to secure drafting him up. To be honest, it is impossible not to wish to get the "next best thing" but my integrity stops me from wishing my favorite team losing no matter the benefits of getting some "luck". From now on, there will be only talk of possibly releasing Manning and the drafting of Luck. This is what I see happening if we do get Luck.
Silently, other unknown elements creep into the picture with drafting Luck. The development of a young quarterback just entering the league depends highly on the foundation around him. Blaine Gabbert, last year first round draft choice for the Jags, had his growth stunted with poor wide receiving core and only running-back MJD and TE Lewis as a possible play-maker. Looking at what our team would be like only adding Luck to our team here is how his growth could be. Our running game has improved and has potential but potential means nothing and if Wayne doesn't get resigned Luck will have a hard time throwing the ball vs other NFL players. Although Garcon has improved he is not a #1 threat as of now. Dallas Clark is soon entering into the declining years but Tony Gonzalez has been doing it for a long time but Clark isn't the new future. Our line is starting to shape up but when young quarterbacks get knocked around they begin to grow bad habits. Unless we get some key rookies or young players that can help Luck it wont be a great situation for the his rookie year. Needless, to say none of this matters if Caldwell is still HC. Luck will not only need a great FO, a great supporting class, and a good coach. Anyone can be a great player in college but it takes a team and a great coach to win a Superbowl ring.

County Durham asbestos settlement
A fashion designer from County Durham who developed terminal cancer after making asbestos snow balls from dust in a local factory when she was a girl has won a settlement.
Caroline Wilcock, 51, grew up in Bowburn, next to an asbestos firm. Children collected the asbestos to make snow balls.
Miss Wilcock's case against Cape Intermediate Holdings PLC, previously known as The Cape Asbestos Company, was due to be held but the firm settled with her out of court.
She suffered asbestos poisoning between 1967 and 1983, and was diagnosed with mesothelioma three years ago.
– Caroline Wilcock
"I feel I had a responsibility to the community I grew up in to pursue my claim and to now talk about it publicly.
"My case establishes that the people of Bowburn were exposed to the dangers of asbestos over forty years ago and were largely unaware or unable to do anything to protect themselves and their children.
"I am angry that I and other children came into contact with asbestos whilst playing in our village and around our homes, and feel certain that my case will not be in isolation."
– Andrew Morgan, Field Fisher Waterhouse
"There are few lawyers and law firms who would take on a claim that presented such obstacles and that posed such risks.
"I am delighted that we were able to obtain substantial monetary recognition for Caroline but I fear the Government's intended reforms to the financing of mesothelioma claims will bring an end to such public interest litigation."
The firm that operated the factory no longer exists so her team brought their case against the successor.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Katherine Heigl appears to have arrived at that crossroads in her career faced by so many others before her, that moment when a conscious decision is made to leave the blonde bombshell associations behind and head for more respectable brunette pastures. Or perhaps she was just in the mood for a change. Either way, the once and future Grey's Anatomy star turned up to the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie The Ugly Truth with a new set of auburn locks. (Whether it will help or hinder her apparent knack for landing rom-com leads remains to be seen.) Which look do you like better?
I prefer Katherine with blonde hair! I think that it suits her personality, and since she is unique looking, it doesn't make her look just like any other blonde actress. Perhaps she just doesn't want to deal with the constant upkeep?

After Regina McKnight delivered a near full-term stillborn child, hospital staff took a urine sample from her and tested the dead child's blood. Both were positive for cocaine. McKnight was arrested several months later and convicted in 2001. A Conway, SC jury deliberated less than 15 minutes before returning a guilty verdict against McKnight, 24, who had two other children and was two-months pregnant again.
In 1992, the South Carolina legislature made it a felony to cause the death of a child younger than 11 through child abuse or neglect "under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to human life." Later the South Carolina Supreme court said the law also applied to a viable fetus, since the same court previously ruled that a viable fetus is legally a person.
South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster defended the state's position in the case of Knight vs. South Carolina. In papers filed with the court, McMaster wrote:
"This is not a case involving a tragic stillbirth that occurred through no fault of the mother. On the contrary, the evidence established a direct link between McKnight's ingestion of crack cocaine, which she had no legally protected right to do, and her child's in utero death.
"The state has a compelling interest in protecting the child's life," and McKnight should have been well aware of the legal risks of drug use that could harm her child. While the fact that other states have failed to take such steps to protect viable fetuses may make South Carolina's decision to do so novel, it does not make it unconstitutional or mandate that this court intervene."
Several medical and public health organizations supported McKnight's Supreme Court appeal with friend of the court briefs. "The criminal investigation and possible prosecution of women like Ms. McKnight sends a perilous message to pregnant addicts not to seek prenatal care or drug treatment," to withhold information from doctors or to abort their fetuses, the American Public Health Association told the court.
"The lower court ruling opens women to prosecution for any number of actions taken while pregnant, McKnight's lawyers wrote. "Pregnant women in South Carolina are left without any reliable basis for deeming whether, in the event of stillbirth, they could be punished, with life imprisonment, for homicide."
McKnight is serving a 12-year sentence in a South Carolina prison.

What the Sixth-Century Plague was:
The Sixth-Century Plague was also known as:
The disease of Justinian's Plague:
The progress of the disease was similar to that of the later epidemic, but there were a few notable differences. Many plague victims underwent hallucinations, both before the onset of other symptoms and after the illness was underway. Some experienced diarrhea. And Procopius described patients who were several days along as either entering a deep coma or undergoing a "violent delirium." None of these symptoms were commonly described in the 14th-century pestilence.
The origin and spread of the Sixth-Century Plague:
From Constantinople it spread swiftly throughout the Empire and beyond; Procopius asserted that it "embraced the entire world, and blighted the lives of all men." In reality, the pestilence didn't reach much farther north than the port cities of Europe's Mediterranean coast. It did, however, spread east to Persia, where its effects were apparently just as devastating as in Byzantium. Some cities on common trade routes were nearly deserted after the plague struck; others were barely touched.
In Constantinople, the worst seemed to be over when winter came in 542. But when the following spring arrived, there were further outbreaks throughout the empire. There is very little data concerning how often and where the disease erupted in the decades to come, but it is known that plague continued to return periodically throughout the rest of the 6th century, and remained endemic until the 8th century.
Death tolls:
But even without hard and fast statistics, it is clear that the death rate was undeniably high. Procopius reported that as many as 10,000 people a day perished during the four months that the pestilence ravaged Constantinople. According to one traveller, John of Ephesus, Byzantium's capital city suffered greater numbers of dead than any other city. There were reportedly thousands of corpses littering the streets, a problem that was handled by having enormous pits dug across the Golden Horn to hold them. Although John stated that these pits held 70,000 bodies each, it still wasn't enough to hold all the dead. Corpses were placed in the towers of the city walls and left inside houses to rot.
The numbers are probably exaggerations, but even a fraction of the totals given would have severely affected the economy as well as the overall psychological state of the populace. Modern estimates -- and they can only be estimates at this point -- suggest that Constantinople lost from one third to one half its population. There were probably more than 10 million deaths throughout the Mediterranean, and possibly as many as 20 million, before the worst of the pandemic was through.
What sixth-century people believed caused the plague:
How people reacted to Justinian's Plague:
Effects of Justinian's Plague on the Eastern Roman Empire:
Unlike Europe after the Black Death, the population levels of the Byzantine Empire were slow to recover. Whereas 14th-century Europe saw a rise in marriage and birth rates after the initial epidemic, Eastern Rome experienced no such increases, due in part to the popularity of monasticism and its accompanying rules of celibacy. It is estimated that, over the course of the last half of the 6th century, the population of the Byzantine Empire and its neighbors around the Mediterranean Sea declined by as much as 40%.
At one time, the popular consensus among historians was that the plague marked the beginning of a long decline for Byzantium, from which the empire never recovered. This thesis has its detractors, who point to a notable level of prosperity in Eastern Rome in the year 600. There is, however, some evidence for the plague and other disasters of the time as marking a turning point in the development of the Empire, from a culture holding on to the Roman conventions of the past to a civilization turning to the Greek character of the next 900 years.

Falling in Love at 49
"Love is lovelier the second time around. Just as wonderful, with both feet on the ground. It's that second time you hear your love song sung, makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young." Lyrics, Sammy Cahn; Music, James Van Heusen
And so it is. Falling in love later can be quite the challenge, but when it does happen, it feels just like a miracle! To me it felt like winning the lottery.
And in a way, it was.
When I think back to all the reasons why Mike and I should not have met, it boggles my mind that we ever did. Although we only lived ten miles apart, without the Internet we most certainly wouldn't have met. Our backgrounds were quite different and we shared no social networks. In addition, I was getting gun shy of meeting new men through the Internet because of the way they kept vaporizing after our first date. I was beginning to feel mighty hopeless!
And besides being a shy, private person himself, Mike was also fearful of bringing another into his off and on struggle with chronic fatigue syndrome. Then there was the fact that we didn't really match up on paper. I came from a background that emphasized academics, and Mike went to the Navy instead of college. His specialty is mechanics and electronics. Mine is counseling, research and writing. But what we did have in common turned out to be much more important. Mike and I had camaraderie of spirit that I have never found in another human being. We both realized later that we had been trying to connect with others in this way for most of our lives, but had somehow missed until the day we met.
From the very beginning our souls spoke to each other in a unique and wonderful way, a spontaneous familiarity, a synchronicity of body, mind and heart. And the most amazing thing is, we both realized and appreciated that fact immediately. No backing away from it, no denying it. We both completely trusted our intuition and feelings and simply went with it.
We spoke for ten hours on our first date, and took a short trip together less than two weeks after we met. This great line at the end of one of my all-time favorite movies, "When Harry Met Sally," describe our feelings for each other best: "When you finally meet the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to begin as soon as possible!"
\We both had been through so much in our lives, so we recognized immediately when something unique and wonderful had fallen into our laps. I also learned about a key component of compatibility that I had never thought about before. Besides the usual requirements, the deal breakers, etc., I learned how important it is that your partner comprehend things at a rate comparable to yourself. In other words, Mike and I think at the same rate, and often come to the same conclusions simultaneously. This can be quite a gift in a long-term relationship!
My own theory of love and attraction came through loud and clear when I first met Mike. My theory is: "You get what you are in love." As much as you have worked on developing into your best self, that is the kind of person you will attract to yourself.
So keep working on self-love and self-respect, feel daily gratitude for the life you now have. My favorite poet Marge Piercy said it best in her book "The Moon is Always Female": "Love is plunging into darkness toward a place that may exist."

text: There seems to be a lot of back and forth regarding PK Subban on the various threads, so why not have any and all future discussion on this board. Like anything controversial like this, there would be pluses and minuses to having him in orange and black, with pluses being getting what appears to be a very good young defensemen while making another team in the conference weaker, and potential minuses being what we would have to give back to Montreal to make the deal possible for the Habs to accept amongst other things. There seems to be, at least in my view, a consensus building that acquiring Subban is a good idea, even at the cost of someone like Schenn or Couturier. I have my own personal opinion on this, but will share it in the comments as I don't want to taint any discussion we'd have on this thread.

New York Times spicy, supercrunchy fried chicken
Jac made "spicy, supercrunchy fried chicken" for lunch with friends at our house recently. The recipe came from The Essential New York Times Cook Book: Recipes for a New Century (2010).
The recipe begins:
Ready for a tip that will change your life? You don't need to deep-fry chicken: you can shallow-fry it in half an inch of oil, which means less mess and wasted fat.
That's good advice.
My sister CW and her hubby M gave Jac the cook book for Christmas last year. It's a hefty collection of recipes (932 pages!) from the New York Times' 150-year-old food archive - the spicy, supercrunchy fried chicken recipe was originally published in the New York Times in 2003.
I've found a version of spicy, supercrunchy fried chicken on the New York Times website, posted in 2008 - it's almost the same recipe as what's in the book, but missing one ingredient: 1/2 cup of cubed country ham, which you add to the hot pan before the chicken pieces. Obviously, ham adds more salt and fat to the fried chicken, but if you're after an indulgent taste sensation - and let's face it, you're cooking fried chicken after all - I recommend including the ham. The little crispy salty cubes of ham really made me fall in love with this particular fried chicken recipe.
One of the reasons Jac chose this recipe (besides that it sounded delicious and relatively easy to make) is that the recipe specifically says you can serve the chicken at any temperature. She shallow-fried the chicken in the morning and allowed it to cool. We had it all ready to go in the fridge on a covered platter with dishes of mayonnaise and BBQ sauce. It was great because Jac wasn't stuck in the kitchen cooking when our friends were here.
It probably wasn't as "supercrunchy" as it would've been if served hot, but it was tasty! Because we were catering for kids, Jac didn't use the full amount of curry powder, so it probably wasn't quite as "spicy" either.
To go with the chicken, I assembled a platter of cold meats (polony and slices of Jac's homemade corned beef), vegetables (carrot, grape tomatoes, cucumber, tinned asparagus, avocado, radishes), pickles (dill pickles, gherkins, picked mushrooms and bright green pickled onions that look like something out of a mad scientist's lab) and hard-boiled eggs, sliced in half. In the centre, a ramekin of Beerenberg Taka Tala dressing.
What would you go for first?
We also had fresh white bread rolls and butter.
That Taka Tala dressing really goes with everything! It was delicious on the corned beef. I ate the chicken double-dipped in mayo and BBQ sauce. The chicken was tender and succulent and wonderful to eat using our fingers.
The mayo we used was Kewpie brand. Next to a really good homemade mayo, Kewpie's probably my favourite mayonnaise. It's just so creamy and tasty. I love it with Japanese chicken karaage and now I love it with New York Times fried chicken.
For dessert, we had vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries, Bare Crush raspberry and strawberry sauce (bought at the Mundaring Truffle Festival) and stroopwafels.
Fried chicken followed by ice cream - as you can guess, I absolutely loved this lunch.
If you think the chicken looks yellow, you're right! We used more birds from Game Farm: a couple of cornfed chickens, reared in the Sydney Basin. Their distinctive golden tinge is a result of their diet as well as natural sunlight. The chickens came whole; Jac cut them into pieces before coating/frying.

An update to Juji and Jay's engagement party post Juji's now published the recipes for her 14-hour slow-cooked pulled pork and the homemade barbecue sauce that went with it. Enjoy!

Grand Theft Auto V Surpasses Lifetime Sales Of GTA IV In UK
Posted on Monday, October 7 @ 08:16:34 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Rockstar Games' latest entry in the Grand Theft Auto series has proven to be a massive success in the UK, already outpacing the lifetime sales of Grand Theft Auto IV.
In case you didn't know, GTA IV has been sitting happily on store shelves for a solid five years now. FIVE! Keep in mind that this data comes from the UK only, as worldwide sales are a different can of worms entirely. That said, Grand Theft Auto V is already the region's 12th greatest selling-game of all time, which is certainly nothing to scoff at.
Just imagine how many more sales Rockstar might make if/when the game comes to PC and next-gen consoles! I'm sure many of you are itching to play the game on higher spec machines.

After a cool first half of May, temperatures are rebounding back to seasonal levels.
Morning lows were seasonal with the lowest reading coming from Natchez, Miss. at 59 degrees. Bellwood and Montgomery were the warm spots with 68 degrees. The daily average is 64.
Clouds kept afternoon temperatures from getting too high, but lower to middle 80s were observed across the area. The warm spot was Anacoco with 87.
Trace amounts of rain fell were scattered around central Louisiana; however, portions of Winn Parish reported measurable rainfall. Gum Springs counted 0.28 inches and Winnfield saw 0.08 inches.
Friday will be warm and breezy with a 10-20% chance for rain.

Neuro Health
The nervous system has two distinct parts. The central nervous system comprises the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves that connects the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. The brain coordinates the ability to move, touch, smell, hear, and see. It allows us to think, decide, and control our actions. The brain is in constant communication with the entire nervous system.
When things go wrong
The disorders associated with the nervous system are some of the most frightening problems we face. It is difficult for us to consider memory loss, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. Stroke is always a worry. And problems with the sense organs—such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and hearing loss—are worrisome to us as we grow older
Why things go wrong
Diet and lifestyle do make a difference. A diet low in B vitamins may affect our "brain health." There are also links between nervous disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and our increasingly toxic environment.
To maintain nervous system health
Live the Healthy Cell Concept™. The B vitamins are known as "brain" vitamins, and supplements such as choline, phosphatidylserine, and ginkgo biloba are known to help memory. Herbs such as chamomile, passionflower, and valerian help us maintain a balanced demeanor.

The arsonist accused of torching a Moorhead sports bar has been sentenced to serve four months in jail, after pleading guilty to second-degree arson.
The judge ordered a ten-year sentence for Jeffrey Little of Moorhead, but for now he will only have to serve four months, as long as he avoids any future trouble with the law.
Restitution will be decided at a later date.
The fire damaged Coach's bar last July.
Police caught up with little last August, after releasing surveillance video of two people considered persons of interest.

More snow fell overnight, closing and delaying some Middle Tennessee school districts on Tuesday.
The snow showers left wet roadways in many locations, but bridges and overpasses were still slick, causing a few crashes.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for areas of the Cumberland Plateau until 1 p.m.
Counties under the advisory include locations generally along and east of a line from Altamont to Sparta, Cookeville to Celina.
Areas have seen 1 to 2 inches of snowfall with higher amounts approaching 3 inches across the highest elevations of the Cumberland Plateau.
Counties in southern Middle Tennessee can expect to see only trace amounts. Flurries will persist Tuesday afternoon across the region.
A winter weather advisory means that periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Drivers should be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities and use caution while driving.

You have now identified a tree with a pinnately compound leaf. Now lets figure out which of these leaves you're looking at match up to the bipinnate leaf or a pinnate leaf identified below.
If you need to start over return to the Tree Key Start Page.
1. Trees With Bipinnate Leaves
Does your tree have a leaf that at least some of the leaves are doubly compound (leaflets within a leaflet or bipinnate) and the leaflets have smooth margins? If yes, you most probably have a black locust or honey locust.
2. Trees With Pinnate Leaves
Does your tree have a leaf that is pinnately compound (the leaflets grow from several places along the stalk) and at least some of the leaflet margins are toothed at the base? If so, continue to hickory, ash, walnut and pecan.

Roachdale —
It wasn't the stiffest competition it will face all season long, but the Class 3A No. 8 Lebanon Tigers were clicking on all cylinders in its season-opening win against North Putnam.
The Cougars – a possible sectional opponent – had no answer for Cord Barricklow and Caleb Brannon and the Tigers coasted to a 91-37 win.
The 91 points were the seventh most in the last 18 years for Lebanon.
"That is a good opener for us," Lebanon head coach Albert Hendrix said. "North Putnam is well-coached, but they are one of the smallest 3As in the state and they are trying to compete with a lot bigger school. Our kids came out on the offensive side tonight and played with a lot of energy. That was difference. "
The Tigers two seniors got them going right away Saturday night.
Cord Barricklow had 11 first-quarter points and Caleb Brannon had 10 as Lebanon raced out to a 26-9 lead.
The margin was the exact same in the second quarter, as Lebanon led 52-18.
"We got the ball inside early and that opened some shots up for Caleb and Noah Molter, who also hit some shots," Hendrix said. "We were able to get some good shots out of our offense. That was a good win to start the year."
There was no let-up in the third quarter.
Lebanon scored the first nine points, and 20 of the first 23, to increase the lead to 72-21 on a basket by Molter.
Hendrix was most happy with keeping the Cougars to seven points coming out at halftime.
"We kept the pedal down more on the defensive end then we did on the offensive end. We had one lull during the quarter, and we took a timeout and talked about how we weren't worried about the score, but just working on ourselves."
For more of this story, read Tuesday's Lebanon Reporter.

Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: nOdalisque

Uncomposed (after Titian after Giorgione) from Georgie Roxby Smith on Vimeo.
Renaissance art piece composed as contemporary New Media machinima, a 21st Century Venus
3D machinima, video, found image, found sound
Made specifically for Composite at Gallery One Three Uncomposed (after Titian after Giogione) deconstructs Giorgione's Sleeping Venus, itself a composite, the landscape and sky being completed by Titian following Giogione's death in 1510. The work was a landmark of its era, reflecting a new shift in modern art with the inclusion of a female nude at its centre. Employing three-dimensional computer graphics and elements of Giorgione's original masterpiece, Roxby Smith replaces his stylised renaissance figure with a fantasised digital body transplanted into an augmented hyper real landscape. In the likeness of her present day artist, the 21st Century Venus will not lie still for her voyeurs, obstinately returning the male gaze from her new digital paradigm, Sleeping Venus awakes.

CPS statement on sentencing of Andrew Partington for Shaw gas blast
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have released a statement on the sentencing of Andrew Partington for causing a gas explosion which killed a two-year-boy.
The CPS said:
"Andrew Partington's reckless actions have left devastating consequences - for Jamie's family and for those in the Shaw community whose lives were hugely disrupted for months afterwards. When he severed the gas pipes he must have been well aware that he was putting other people's lives and property in danger.
"We worked hard with the police to build a strong prosecution case, and so overwhelming was the evidence against the defendant that he was left with little other option but to plead guilty at an early stage. In the sentence given today, Andrew Partington now has time to reflect on the immeasurable pain that his actions have caused Jamie's family and the extensive damage he caused to people's homes.
– CPS statement
"I would like to extend my sincere sympathies to Mr and Mrs Heaton and their family on their terrible loss. I would also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the people of Shaw who have shown remarkable resilience and community spirit in the aftermath of the explosion."
