For far too long the American public school system has failed to address "out-of-school" factors like poverty and their impact on what happens in the classroom. As the nation continues to become increasingly diverse, many schools are adopting comprehensive approaches to education that account for the unique needs of students so that each child is prepared for their future and not just for a year-end test.
Wyoming recently became the first state to reject the Next Generation Science Standards because of concern regarding lessons that teach human-caused climate change. Several other states have also taken measures to reject the standards, which has some education officials concerned about the quality of instruction students in those states will receive.
Inadequate funding and resources for schools, harsh zero-tolerance discipline policies, police presence in public schools, and de facto segregation continue to create school environments in which poor and minority students have little chance of succeeding. The result is a continuation of the school-to-prison pipeline that has been commonplace in the American education system for decades, despite federal, state and local efforts to curb the problem.

Roger, celebrations are part of the game. Fining Brian Rolle is a bitch move and it displays nothing but your childish attitude and your embarrassing contempt, scorn, and hatred for the spirit and very lives of the young men who bust it out there on Sundays. You profit off of their pain and suffering, banking millions on the blood and shattered limbs of passionate young players.
Here's even more incendiary video that is sure to put your thong panties in a bunch.
Brian, we got your back. Roger Goodell is a disgrace as a commissioner and as a man. All true football fans pray for the day when the owners finally clean house and kick your holier-than-thou ass to the curb.

From Jean-Yves Calvez, S.J.
Centre Sèvres of Philosophical and Theological Studies, Paris
Among so many books on the ethics of the enterprise, this one stands out. It is well grounded in Catholic philosophy as well as in economic knowledge. It shows experience in dealing with people engaged in business. It does not avoid the burning questions that many would never dare to touch, as the question of spreading ownership. It leads to deep personal reflection. It is organized around a central concept, 'integrity,' which means that the reader is approached at the level of his very sense of responsibility and human solidarity. I sincerely would welcome its publication and I hope it be also translated into my own language, French, as well as in many others.
From Johan Verstraeten,
European Centre for Christian Ethics
Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven
This book is an excellent presentation of the basic principles and perspectives of Catholic social thought (in the broad sense of the word), which are relevant to business. It is both a contribution to a Christian approach of management and to the Catholic social tradition because it offers a hermeneutical horizon of Catholicism. It also connects business ethics with spirituality, which is very much of current interest. Although the book is based on relevant academic and scientific literature, it is sufficiently pedagogic to be accessible for a broader audience. I am convinced that this book will be for many members of the business community an important source of inspiration.
From William F. May,
Cary M. Maguire Professor of Ethics
Southern Methodist University
They have written a very solid, balanced, accessible account of Christian social thought as it bears on management. The book will help the Catholic moral tradition become a voice at the table in the boardroom for those willing to read and ponder the ramifications of their faith in their decisions as board members and managers.
From John C. Haughey, S.J.,
Professor of Christian Ethics
Loyola University Chicago
As someone who has published several books on the topic of faith and work, I think Helen and Michael provide a unique integration of Christian social thought, management practice and theory that deserves distribution to a wide audience. It is a work that bridges theology and management and that considers the practical realities of managers within a social theological context.
From Research News and Opportunities in Science and Theology, May 2002
This jointly-authored work, by two Catholic academics, explores the Christian social tradition and recovers principles which should inform the managerial style of those who would take Christianity seriously. This volume is the first in the Catholic Social Tradition series.
The authors, a social scientist and a theologian, take familiar ideas from the Christian tradition, like the common good, virtue, trust and so on, and connect them to equally familiar management notions like job design, wage structures and communication. Numerous examples and case studies drive home the point that a "Christian" approach to management often makes good business sense. However, the book is far more than a simple recitation of platitudes. The authors take Christian theology and practice seriously and strive for nothing less than a holistic integration that joins work and spirituality. A final chapter even introduces the idea of liturgy as a paradigm for placing work in its appropriate theological setting.
The work is specifically Catholic and draws most of its inspiration from that tradition. However, the majority of the discussion is generically Christian, and non-Catholic readers will certainly not be put off by the particular stance of the authors.
Managing as if Faith Mattered is well-suited for use as a text, with carefully organized sections, questions at the ends of the chapters and suggestions for further study.
From "The Tablet", July 27, 2002
Return of the Corporate Soul
Looking back on the twentieth century, social historians will remark that in the last 20 years of the century, business came to lead human endeavour but in the process lost the human soul. The arts, medicine, education, and the sciences can all be subordinated to the whims of corporate mission statements and marketing strategies; and business gurus such as Tom Peters can proclaim, unchallenged, "Let's leave the Bible, the Koran and facile talk of spiritual leaders at home." No wonder many believe that "business is the spiritual desert of our time." Even the most committed Christians in business struggle to reconcile the split between work and spirituality.
So Managing as if Faith Mattered, which seeks to reconcile them, is a godsend. Intelligent and sensible, it never fails to recognise the realistic tensions of business life. The authors are well qualified to bring a sound and precise voice to the debate about Christian social principles in today's organisations. Helen Alford is a professor of social sciences at the University of St. Thomas in Rome, having previously served as lecturer in the Engineering Department in Cambridge. Dr. Michael Naughton holds a joint appointment to the Theology Department and the Graduate Business School at St. Thomas, Minnesota.
Having laid out an interesting exposition of three models linking faith and work-the natural law approach, the faith-based approach and the prophetic model-the authors focus on the four cardinal virtues of Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Courage. These virtues are then discussed under the headings of job design, just wages, corporate ownership, marketing communications and product development. It is a neat equation and provides a rich diet for thought and action. The chapter on employees' pay, which draws on the virtue of justice and the principle of just wages, is especially good: a subject that most contemporary writers have successfully avoided is treated here with honesty and good sense.
The abundance of cases taken from the American corporate business world may make the book less accessible to British and other European readers. And with the service industries now dominating British business it would have been good to have examples from the professional service field, the catering or tourism industry in the UK. A key to survival in today's business world is the culture of service and this is hardly mentioned.
One of the most unusual subjects in this book is "liturgy at work" a curious subject to find in a book on social teaching. But the authors seek to make the point that work can be celebrated through the sacraments. Perhaps more emphasis could have been placed on non-sacramental liturgy at work and finding connections there. It is a sad reflection that when it comes to "liturgy at work" most other Christian denominations are ahead of the Catholic Church.
The authors use an impressive number of different sources to expand their argument, from Mother Teresa to St. Augustine, from Lee Iacocca to Karl Rahner. Not all modern-day commentators are applauded, and Stephen Covey and Tom Peters are given short shrift. This is a pity: Covey in particular has provided some helpful thinking on personal development. It would also have been good to have had more engagement with psychology which in many European human resource and training departments has taken the place of Christianity.
As you would expect from a book of this sort it has almost 70 pages of notes and references and a most comprehensive index. At the end of each chapter there are study questions and video suggestions, which help to focus the mind on the issues at stake. This book is a must for all observers and students of modern business practice, but its usefulness goes further than that: it deserves to be read in every corporate strategic planning office in every company. It is an oasis in the spiritual desert of business. Kit Dollard
From "Theological Book Review," University of Notre Dame Press, January, 2002
This is the inaugural volume in a series on the Catholic Social Tradition. It contains introductory discussions on how to relate fundamental categories of Catholic social thinking; among them the common good, solidarity, and the cardinal theological virtues, to the tasks of management; such as job design, organizational principles and product development.
This approach rejects any suggestions that are unbridgeable dichotomies between spiritual values and institutional and organizational ones. It claims that such a view is largely a consequence of Enlightenment utilitarianism. In place of this, the book focuses on the role of virtues in human management, organization and achievement and shows how they can be applied. This is an intriguing claim, which is well deserving of the treatment it here receives. Whether or not straightforwardly utilitarian considerations in organizational theory can be put aside in this way is, of course, a debatable point. What might result from this, as is suggested throughout the book, is that they re-emerge as a consequence of the achievement of human fulfillment in work. In this way, what humans need for their individual and collective fulfillment is harnessed with what organizations need for their success. This inaugural volume could well engender an important debate.
John Elford, Liverpool Hope
From New Blackfriars, October 2002
The capitalist market economy pervades most of the world and almost every person's life is touched by it. It provides most people with their livelihood and sets the context of their economic choices. It is impossible to contemplate modern life without the capitalist market economy. Most christians work within it, some work at its lowest levels, some are managers within businesses and a few are even leaders of large corporations. Does christian thought have anything to say to the millions of christians who work in businesses and to the managers and leaders of those businesses? Does the church have anything to say to those millions who spend most of their productive lives in offices, who rise early and commute long distances, to managers who regularly have to make difficult decisions like making staff redundant? Is it possible to apply christian beliefs into the modern business corporation or should business life be kept separate from the spiritual life? This book, by a Dominican teaching in the Angelicum University (Rome) and a professor of St Thomas University, Minnesota attempts to answer these questions. It convincingly suggests that many areas of business can and ought to be guided by christian social thought. It is a much-needed book, and this reviewer hopes that it will encourage others to engage in a similar manner with the modern business world.
The catholic tradition is rightly proud of its social thought, developed by many papal encyclicals and documents from the various Conferences of Bishops. This rich tradition includes encyclicals such as Laborem Exercens, the US bishops' document on the economy and, recently in Britain, The Common Good. Most of these documents generally cover what economists label as the 'distributionist' agenda. The context of this is the way economists describe the two-part challenge of the modern capitalist economy: how to generate wealth and then how to distribute it.
The first part is complex as it deals with how the modern business enterprise functions, produces goods or services, its competition, and the very profound and difficult process it goes through to create wealth. The 'distributionist' agenda is equally important and concerns how best society should distribute the wealth that is created. Hence the focus on trade unions, tax rates and promotion of a more equal distribution of wealth within a country and between countries. These issues are important but, to put it bluntly, businesses need to create wealth first, before it can be distributed. This creation process is incredibly complex and messy in a capitalist market economy. One observation on catholic social thought, has been its lack of engagement with, some would say complete silence on, the process of wealth creation by businesses as compared with its many documents covering issues of wealth distribution.
This book begins to redress the balance. The engine of wealth creation in the modern market economy is the business enterprise, and the book's focus is, the application of christian social principles to this enterprise. It begins by providing an overview of .the purpose of business, and then highlights four areas of business: Job design, just wages, corporate ownership, marketing communication through to product development. Each of these areas is discussed using christian social principles. These principles are the common good, solidarity, subsidiarity, the universal destination of goods, and the theological and cardinal virtues. The chapters are well written and provide valuable material for those christians who are trying to integrate their work and their faith. For the authors, the purpose of business is not just to make money, although they recognize this as a critical 'foundational good', but more that it has responsibility towards the common good. Business also needs simultaneously and not sequentially to pursue 'excellent goods' which promote human development. Specifically, job design should be done in a human centred manner. A similar approach is then applied to the topic of wages, structuring it around three areas. A living wage based on the principle of need, an equitable wage based on a just slice, of the firm's profits, and a sustainable wage based on the employer's ability to pay wages that are sustainable in terms of the health of the business. The chapter on corporate ownership is probably the weakest (see below), and comes out strongly in favour of ESOPS (employee stock ownership plans). The next area covered is marketing communication and product development. The emphasis is on promoting a genuine relationship with the customer, and a new product development process focused on the common good. The final two chapters entitled 'Sustaining the Engagement', again offer very practical advice on how Christians can develop 'authentic habits of Christian spirituality of work'.
Overall I recommend this book to all those christians who are interested and are involved in business. Possibly for the first time, we have a systematic analysis that integrates the principles of christian social teaching and business management. As the authors say, 'a religion that isn't good on Monday ain't any good on Sunday'. However, this christian engagement with modern business needs to continue. There is much to do, and although this work is very important it still misses some of the biggest issues we need to deal with, such as competition and corporate governance. The latter has a significant contemporary relevance. The shareholder value model of modern capitalism is the foundational principle of corporate governance; businesses are owned by shareholders who expect to maximize their return. The authors reject this model in favour of a common good model, which is oriented around corporate capital being used to promote a just distribution of wealth. This is unrealistic. The shareholder model dominates all aspects of modern capitalism, and we need to find a better way to deal with it. One aspect of the current manifestation of the shareholder model, which is only briefly mentioned, is the immense power of shareholders who usually come in the form of large institutions and pension funds. These institutional shareholders (and the many christians who work for them) are not about to give up their power for a common good model. But the shareholder model and the whole governance structure of the modern corporation are under pressure. The demise of Enron and WorldCom suggests that, although management teams were hired by shareholders to promote their interests, they ended up promoting management's interests. The area of corporate governance is one of the fundamental issues that christian social thought needs to explore. But none of this should be taken as a criticism of the authors. They are to be commended for producing a landmark book that begins the journey of christian engagement with the modern business corporation and wealth creation. I hope other scholars and practitioners will continue this engagement.

The small but rich sultanate evokes the images of mosques and palaces with majestic golden domes, where almost everyone is prosperous thanks to Brunei's legendary wealth of oil and gas industry. While these assumptions are somewhat vindicated, travellers will also be charmed by its easy-going pace, down to earth people and well-preserved nature. Apart from the warmth and wealth of this country, Brunei houses many interesting spots such as the billion dollar Jerudong Park (an amusement park), Royal Regalia Museum, and Istana Nurul Iman. Another must-see is Kampong Ayer (Water Village), where the houses are handsomely built in stilts above the Brunei River in which the locals refer to it as 'Venice of the East'.

Jasper County School District is looking to increase security for the upcoming school year.
In it's proposed budget, the school board has requested $35,000 to go towards hiring a fifth school resource officer and getting new equipment, including card-swipe technology.
The new resource officer will be stationed at the alternative school. The district is going to place one of the high school's three officers at the middle school, so both the high school and the middle school will have two officers each.
"For Jasper County, officers have proven to be very valuable," said Dr. Vashti Washington, superintendent.
According to Washington, officers have done a great job keeping drugs and weapons out of the schools.
"I have seen a decrease in activity since they have been placed in schools," Washington said.
The proposed budget will go before the school board for a final reading at their next meeting on May 28.

This oven is American Made! Most Important to us! My wife and I are very happy with this oven. When friends come over and they see the new oven they all say the same thing and that is that it is attractive. The oven is at least three inches wider inside, much deeper in which we can now get an extra large pizza in the oven. The oven is even taller inside which allows a third oven rack. Now this wall oven has the same outside measurements as our old oven, man what a difference, much more room for cooking. The oven cooks great, we already have tried cookies on all three racks at one time and the cookies all came out fine. My homemade pizza comes out as good as if we had went to a pizza parlor. You will notice that on the bottom of the oven there is no heating coil to have to deal with, that is very nice. Somehow that heating coil is hidden on the other side of the oven floor. The only minor and I mean minor annoyance is the cooling fan that cools the oven electrical components down is somewhat noticeable until the oven gets cooled down and shuts off. We both agree, we would by this same wall oven unit again! You won't go wrong buying this oven.

Comments about Whirlpool White Single Electric Wall Oven:
Though it is an attractive oven and would blend with either stainless steel and white appliances, it was a surprise that it is so noisy. The cooling fan which runs all the time makes an annoying whistling sound. If you choose convention baking, the fan that runs during that cycle makes a loud humming noise. Both together makes it unpleasant to use and I find I am avoiding baking so that I don't have to listen to it. Bought this oven based on a Consumers Reports review. I am disappointed. Abt installers were great though.

nice even baking
By Katie1948
from Brookings, OR
Been perfectly happy with this oven. I do a lot of baking and everything bakes and browns evenly even if you don't use the convection feature. Large window and double lights allow you to see baking progress without opening the door. From scones to meatloaf the oven does a great job.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Whirlpool at it's finest

This oven is everything we have come to expect from Whirlpool - great features, wonderful design and a great look.

This oven pre-heats quickly. The convection baking is excellent and very quiet. It is great to have large oven and three racks. The oven looks beautiful and so stylish in my white and gray kitchen. I am very pleased with this purchase.

This oven is visually appealing, and has great user-friendly features.
By Teesey
from Plant City, FL
This oven is not only visually appealing, but is very user friendly. Although I always recommend reading product manuals before use, this one is easy to figure out if you're in a hurry. The display actually guides you through the process. Having a rack in the middle is a great feature for those who take baking seriously. I admit I was surprised by the elevated sound level since I've never had an oven that made noise, however, it doesn't diminish the product in my eyes. The ease of clean up by not having an exposed heating element, along with the steam cleaning feature and non-prohibitive price makes this a must-have appliance in my opinion. I consider it one of my kitchen treasures.

By Nettie52

I haven't had to use it yet, but I love the idea of the steam clean feature. So far any spills have been easily wiped up from the bottom of the oven. I also like the design of the shelves with the space to pull the shelves out of the oven.
30" Whirlpool Gold built-in electric oven
By Curt1940
from S/W Louisiana
This oven replaced a 23 year old Whirlpool oven in my home that the timer had failed on, and was no longer available. I installed the oven myself and had no problems except to have to fill in a space underneath of about 4". I made that space into a small cabinet with a drop down door that I keep the broiler pan in. Actually the new oven is much larger inside than the old one. We love the oven even though we had to get used to the cooling fan running after the oven is off, even though it is not too loud. Overall we love the oven and hope to get many years of use from it.
Looks and works great, installation was a chore though
By BOw359
from MI
We love the new oven. It works a lot better than our old gas oven. Convection is new to us and so far we love it. It cooks faster than our old oven. My only problems with it were with the installation. If anything could go wrong it did. First we had a 30" opening so we bought a 30" oven to fit it. Problem is the new 30" oven is made for a 28.5" opening so I had to add wood to close in the opening 1.5" on each side. Then even with the legs fully up this "guarenteed to fit any opening" oven was still 4.5" short of the top of the opening so I had to come up with a filler piece to take up that gap. Then when I went to put the vent shoot on the bottom the extender did not fit right. None of the holes lined up and the provided screws did not seem to work so I had to rework that area by screwing the extender directly to the cabinet. Once it was installed we loved it though. Also a lot of people complain about the sound of the fan. We don't think it's loud at all, compared to our old oven it's real quiet.

Personality Traits: loquacious, excitable, juggler of activities, childlike, talkative, on the go, wired, fun.
Body and Style: delicate frame, thin, a dandy or waif, nervous tension.
The Rising Sign is your way of moving through life -- your style, quirks, responses, and the impression you make.
Gemini is the lightest of air signs, for a personality that's hard to pin down. That levity makes you a fun friend, and not one to get stuck in a groove.
The Gemini rising is chatty, and always looking at life through new angles. You're naturally social, and a great mingler since you know what's interesting to share. You get into mischief when your need to know runs wild and turns into negative gossip. Mostly, you're just curious about people, and that comes across as you quickly collect many acquaintances.
You're full of contradictory sides, and this may make it hard for others to trust you. You can be a wicked gossip if you use your gift for the gap in a negative way. You mean what you say, but quickly see many sides to one issue, and can play your own Devil's Advocate. It takes time to reconcile these many threads, and to find a singularity of thought. You're a synthesizer of information, and this leads you into careers as social commentator or writer.
You change your style and even persona more than most, as you play at different roles. You enjoy the trends of fashion, music and may have talent as a shapeshifting actor-type. Your mutable nature allows you to be friends with all kinds of people, but you like to keep a light hold. You need to keep moving and feel free, and others experience you as a breath of fresh air….
Even though you love to talk, public speaking may be nerve wracking for you. You can become overwhelmed with nerves, and psyche yourself out with racing thoughts. Learning to relax your high-strung nerves is a lifelong lesson. Meditation or yoga would be an incredible anchoring tool for you. Hematite is a great grounding stone, and a version of your chart ruler, Mercury.

have always been the most attractive and
impressive way of interaction between
companies and clients. A good logo always
fulfills almost all the marketing requirements
of any company. When it comes to the entertainment
field, everyone knows very well that entertainment
businesses have a very high scope and
charm in it. The entertainment industry
runs only by the art of proper marketing
and promotion. For the success of an entertainment
company, having a very attractive and
impressive logo is crucial.
An entertainment logo is the foremost and highlighted instrument for achieving popularity in the entertainment field. So, it should be very attractive and eye-catching for its observers. An entertainment logo should portray all the qualities and display the true image of an entertainment company. As you know that entertainment companies are related to arts and designs, the logo of an entertainment company should be designed by professionally skilled designers in order to portray the true identity to an entertainment company.
Basically the logo design should be a reflection of the company's services and tangible goods. In the field of education, an efficient logo design that will capture the hearts of a young generation is no ordinary task. Many elements have to be highlighted in an elaborate manner to provide its audience with a clear image of what the educational institution has to offer. Some of the few key elements that have a distinctive effect on the education logo design are color, font size and style, contrast and use of graphics and animation.
Whatever the graphic applied, it should be easily definable and have the tendency to highlight the educational services of the university or college involved. For instance, institutions involved in offering music education, should be depicted by a musical key note. It is usual to find reputable universities associating their logos with very descriptive banners and signs. Each banner tends to give a message of determination and feeling to achieve a higher success.
Animation is more common among the imparting education to toddlers and children in the ages of 7-12 years. Usually an animated cartoon character of an animal or computer based monitor is usually common with such logo designs.
Colors can set the mood of the customers and clients. Practically any color will work on the educational logo design. The choice of colors is mostly dependent on the audience, the educational institution is intending to target. If the educational institution is a Montessori or secondary level school, then more vibrant colors like blood red, green and blue are more likely to be found in such logos. Red depicts loyalty while blue lends a sense of inspiration and commitment among its young learners.
The use of text is very important in an inspirational educational logo. The text should be easily comprehensible to the students. The most common educational fonts are the Times New Roman, Veranda, San Serifs and Ariel family of graphical fonts. However, to give that extra scholarly end product to the educational logos, the use of the traditional Calligraphy based fonts comes into the scenario.

We'll Pick Up The Pieces Next Time
by Angle (2005, Self-Released)
It may have taken me awhile, but I finally got around to reviewing Angle's deprecatingly titled Silence Is Better Than Nothing late last year. And I'm sorry it took me so long, as it was quite a nice little gem, taking the same sort of hushed, damaged lo-fi pop approach that has served Hood so well and adding in some lovely electronic elements of its own. For their followup to Silence…, the trans-Channel duo of Andrew Richards and Sylvain Closier have chosen to look even further inward and release an even more hushed and muted collection of songs.
We'll Pick Up The Pieces Next Time features a very similar mixture of elements as Silence…, but everything is starker and sparser. The beats and rhythms that often propelled much of Silence… have grown rather shy and withdrawn, if they're even there to begin with. However, their absence doesn't really damage the duo's music at all. If anything, it serves only to draw the listener even further in.

/dev/build/ creating a duplicate column
16 July 2010 at 6:24am
After moving my project from my development machine (Windows) to my web server (Linux) I ran into the common tablename issue because Windows makes all tablenames lowercase. I fixed this by modifying my dump file and replacing all the tablenames with proper TableName schema Silver Stripe uses.
Anyways, after doing that the site worked fine.
Now there are duplicates of each table in the db. For example: sitetree and SiteTree
However, after adding new page templates and running /build/dev/ i get the following error:
[User Error] Couldn't run query: ALTER TABLE "SiteTree" ADD "HomepageForDomain" varchar(100) character set utf8 collate utf8_general_ci, CHANGE "ClassName" "ClassName" enum('SiteTree','Page','Forum','ForumHolder','ArticleHolder','ArticlePage','ContactPage','HomePage','ErrorPage','RedirectorPage','VirtualPage') character set utf8 collate utf8_general_ci default 'SiteTree' Duplicate column name 'HomepageForDomain'
I have all the proper permissions to alter the table so permissions arent the issue.
It seems for whatever reason it is trying to create a duplicate column name "HomepageForDomain" in the SiteTree table.
What the hell is going on?

This is almost definately a windows -> linux problem
The best thing to do is just make a dump of your windows DB, import it to linux, apply the patch (linked below) and it should be all fine.

Not sure this will solve the current duplicate table names but following the info in this other thread might help.
Also before you begin setting up Silverstripe on windows ensure mysql has its config edited with the following value
It will save a lot of pain. I know this as been there and felt the pain.
Hope that helps.

One other thing I would try is this.
Back up your database.
Then delete the column name HomepageForDomain, that is causing a conflict.
Then try dev build again.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

CATEGORIES Casting, RumorMonger, Remakes and Sequels, Western, CinematicalThe folks in Dodge City don't let things slack. A Gunsmoke reboot kicked off just last August, and now the star wagons are circling. According to the LA Times, a number of actors are interested in playing the lead role Marshal Matt Dillon (originally played by James Arness on the TV series), but a few big names already lead the pack.
Ryan Reynolds is said to be interested in the role as he continues to make a name for himself as an action star, moving from romances and comedies to the world of Deadpool and the Green Lantern. But there's also the allure of a man who's already seen the grit of the Old West. Brad Pitt is CBS Films' top man, being one of the few stars to actually have a Western under their belt -- The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Between star power and experience, it's no surprise that the role could easily be his. However, the studio hasn't nabbed a director yet, which could affect casting.
The new Gunsmoke is being positioned as a new action tentpole eager to cash in on name recognition, so expect a star-filled ensemble. But personally, I hope there's a little room for Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen, Guy Pearce, and Danny Huston in the mix. If it wasn't for these recent gunslingers, I'm not sure that the Western world would be making such a comeback.
But what about you? Who do you want to see cast in the big-screen Gunsmoke?

The teams drive to the tallest building in Berlin, the Park Inn Hotel. It's getting dark. They have to base fly, which is like base jumping, only instead of parachutes they have wires. It's a controlled fall that begins by being dangled face-first over 37 stories of nothing.
Katie and Max jump with some enthusiasm. Meghan and Joey are next, then the Moms, Hockey, and Singers.
M is for Museum!
The Detour options are Train Trials or Font Follies. So, Berlin loves its museums. They have a train museum, and they have a Museum of Letters. Like, alphabet letters. Big, light-up letters.
It's very "Sesame Street." You can picture Super Grover stopping at the Museum of Letters to fetch a C so that someone can make the word Chair, because all they had was Hair and they kept falling down when they tried to sit down and eat their breakfast, landing in a pile of hair. And that's just not appetizing, so Super Grover saves the day.
Font Follies requires each team member to carry a giant light-up letter through some streets to deliver them to the Museum of Letters. They can't break the letter, and once they choose a letter to carry they can't switch.
Max and Katie choose to carry letters, and they carry o and b because they have holes, making them easier to transport. When they stop and ask for directions, Katie begins to sit down and Max orders her, "Don't be uncomfortable!" I didn't even know comfort was optional, thanks, Max!
Mona and Beth also choose letters. They carry u and n. "Mona and I love to schlep things," says Beth.
Caroline and Jennifer choose the letters, and Bates and Anthony are undecided so they go along with their alliance buddies. Those buddies aren't feeling all the love right now because they're in the back of the pack, and the ladies don't want to face a footrace with the gentlemen.
When Max and Katie find the museum, Max says, "It's a niche museum where nerds hang out."
Something I'd be good at
The other Detour option is to go to the train museum and build an electric train track using a given number of track pieces. Once their train completes one lap, they get a clue.
Dude. As a mother of two small boys, I would rock this.
Meghan and Joey choose it because they are cute and crafty and like to build things. They are thwarted for the first six tries, and the Conductor watching them looks tired. Why can't these Americans build efficient train tracks? But then they finish.
V is for v-oops!
The Love Alliance pauses to ask for directions to the Museum of Letters. The Singers have s and k, which are tricky to carry. The hockey boys have k and v. Everyone sets their letters down on the sidewalk while they figure out where to go, and a rogue gust of wind blows over Anthony's v. It cracks.
Girls: "You guys, we're so sorry, but do y'all care if we finish?" They take their letters and run. The guys, "busted letter, busted spirit," jump in a cab and head for the trains.
Ich bin ein hipster
While introducing the Roadblock, Phil tells us that "Berlin is arguably the hippist city in the world, and has an array of nightlife." The Roadblock is to "experience an evocative dance club."
When Max and Katie arrive, Max describes it as, "Horrifying. A trippy, end-of-Communist-era shady place." It's, well, eccentric.

Hi everyone! You might remember last year I released my Skillshare Character Concept Art class and that went down a storm, over 2000 of you signed up for it and it received 100% positive reviews. The support was overwhelming so thank you to everyone that took the class!
It was my intention to release the follow up on Skillshare.com again, but the site has changed considerably in the time since my first class, and it's not the most straight forward option this time.
The new tutorial, which is indeed a direct continuation of my first class, is now available through gumroad instead!
It's 36 minutes long and gives you a pretty good general overview of my average colour process. I've tried my best to explain things as thoroughly as possible for any beginners watching, info on layer ordering, colour choices, layer modes etc. I'm sure most of you will understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it, but I haven't assumed that everyone will know by default. So explanations a-plenty!
The full size PSD is included, with the B&W character from the previous class and the new colour version so you can toggle between the two. My brush pack is also included, which is available all the time regardless (you aren't paying for it!) but I've included it in the pack as well for convenience.
The tutorial is $9 and available to download right now! The only real difference between my previous Skillshare class and this new tutorial - is just that there isn't a written guide to accompany it, and that's reflected in the price.
I'm totally open to releasing more tutorials and there will be freebies along the way, so if you have any specific requests then fire away! I should probably say that the next tutorial I have in mind will be all about painting skin! I've talked about it as much I can in this video, but a more in-depth tutorial is certainly on the cards.

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – All-American senior Elena Delle Donne
returned to the starting lineup for the second straight game and
collected her 30th career 30-point game Saturday afternoon as the
University of Delaware women's basketball team sailed to an 82-53
non-conference victory over Monmouth at the MAC.
Delaware (6-3), which bounced back from a 69-53 setback to No. 9 ranked
Maryland Thursday night that snapped a four-game winnning streak, held a
halftime advantage of 45-28 and led by as much as 31 in the second half
against the non-conference Hawks (2-7), who lost their fourth straight
Delle Donne, who has missed all but three Blue Hen games this season
with symptoms of Lyme Disease, scored a season-high 30 points on
10-of-14 shooting from the field, including four three-pointers and six
free throws. The forward added a game-high nine rebounds with two
blocks and two assists in 24 minutes of action.
With the two blocks, Delle Donne has moved into fourth place in CAA
history with a career total of 209, bypassing Hofstra's Jess Fuller
(2007-10), who finished her career with 208 blocked shots.
"I felt really good today," remarked Delle Donne. "It was a great
feeling to wake up after the Maryland game and feel refreshed and not
exhausted. I think I'm getting healthier and hopefully turning the
corner on feeling better."
Fellow senior Danielle Parker chipped in 11 points and five rebounds
while Lauren Carra added eight points and seven rebounds. Carra moved
to 21st in UD history with 1,020 points while Parker is now in 27th
place with 883. Kayla Miller dished out a game-high four assists to go
along with four points and one steal.
"I really thought that we moved the ball a lot better today," Miller
commented. "We were able to find the open man and get the open pass.
We weren't forcing things and we stuck with the offense. I think that
really helped us out."
The Hawks cut a quick UD seven-point lead to three points before the
Blue Hens responded with a 12-1 run, sparked by jumpers from Carra and
Akeema Richards to give Delaware a 23-9 lead with less than 10 minutes
remaining in the first half.
With 4:44 left before the break, Carra, stuck on the lower left box,
kicked the ball out to Richards in the corner, who knocked down a jumper
to go up, 34-19.
The Blue Hens recorded another great assist at the 4:07 mark as an
airborne Delle Donne at the top of the key found Trumae Lucas for a
right-handed bunny shot on a fast-beak layup.
Delaware didn't hold back in the second half and collected four quick
points with a Delle Donne put-back layup and a steal and fast-break
layup from Carra to force the Monmouth coaching staff to call a timeout.
The onslaught continued as UD went up by 30 at the 9:41 mark with a
jumper from Kelsey Buchanan. The Hawks responded with six straight
points, including four free throws from Sara English.
Monmouth kept the pressure on the Blue Hens and pulled out the full
court press in the remaining minutes. Delaware head coach Tina Martin
returned her starting lineup to the floor and consecutive treys from
Delle Donne put UD up by 31 at 79-48 with just over five minutes left in
the game.
The Blue Hens held the Hawks scoreless in the final 3:49 of the game and
added three free throws of their own from Alecia Bell.

Blacksburg - The sounds of fall football have returned. On the first day of practice the team looked sharp...but they also misfired a few times. The challenge for Coach Frank Beamer is to eliminate his team's mistakes and to find answers to his main questions.
Another storyline is the offensive line. Andrew Miller of Bassett is the only returning starter. Nick Becton, David Wang, Vinston Painter and Brent Benedict may not have experience but they're all upperclassmen. Logan Thomas has said he doesn't have any worries about the line but Tech fans will until they prove they can play.
James Gayle, VIRGINIA TECH JUNIOR DEF. END, said "I think they're coming along great. It always takes offensive linemen a little while longer to get acclimated because they have to get to know each other better but I think they're going to be just fine."

Newly released clip from the upcoming 4th installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise, titled Ghost Protocol, which sees the return of Tom Cruise, as well as the addition of newcomers Paula Patton, and Jeremy Renner.
Also, Brad Bird directed this one, his first live-action film, after directing animated critically-acclaimed crowd-pleasers like The Incredibles and Ratatouille.
The film opens December 21.
Watch the clip below:

Reduce on the background dramatic music... lol
Akimbo | December 1, 2011 11:16 AM
Not a fan of Paula or Tom Cruise, but I love this series (and Renner), so I'm there.
Gigi Young | November 30, 2011 9:25 PM
The fight scene looks staged, like Paula and the other actress were counting the beats to throw punches or grab weapons. Too bad the stunt coordinator wasn't brave enough to let them have a knock-down, drag-out, Sydney Bristow/Nikita-style fight.
Jai | November 30, 2011 6:47 PM
Opening 12/21, it's going up against The Girl w/ the Dragon Tattoo. I may see this movie to support Paula, I'm not a tom cruise fan.
misha | November 30, 2011 6:38 PM
Umm yeah, couldn't look any more contrived.
Neziah | November 30, 2011 4:42 PM
Haha, not bad for a PG-13 film.

Admittedly there is still a lot of apprehension about Spike Lee's upcoming remake of Oldboy which will be released through FilmDistrict on Nov. 27.
There's plenty riding on the film, especially Spike's reputation. Will this be a return to form for him? He sure didn't make it easy for himself, and you have to admit he loves a challenge, taking on a remake of Chan-wook Park's absolutely fantastic, mind bending original film. Can Spike pull it off? I'm crossing my fingers for him.
So I have to confess that it's a little worrying, when, in a recent L.A. Times interview, Oldboy star Josh Brolin, shared that he's not exactly "enamored" with the final cut of the film.
Here's the key piece from the interview:
"I do have opinions, but it's better to bite my tongue," [Brolin] said when asked what he thought of the finished film. (The actor says he was more enamored with Lee's earlier three-hour director's cut that was both quieter and filled with more character-centric moments.)
Sounds as if the film we are going to see in theaters (not the 3-hour cut Brolin prefers) was edited to emphasize the action and extreme violence, and focus less on the character study nuances, which the original film has a lot of.
And considering that, according to Imdb.com, the film's current running time is 104 minutes. The fact that the original cut was three hours obviously means that quite a bit was cut out of the film.
Of course there's no way that FilmDistrict was going to release a three hour movie, though there's always the possibly that Spike's original, longer version could eventually make its way on DVD. But one hopes that the radical cuts don't hurt the film in any major way.
We'll have to wait and see.
Ugh | November 6, 2013 6:22 PM
Probably wasn't 3 hours but was more in the range of what "Wolf of Wall Street" is. The 165 minute range. Cutting out an hour of footage that Spike Lee may consider essential to the story certainly could hurt it.
It will be interesting to see if this is one of those movies that when we look back at the trailer a day after seeing it in theaters we can play a lengthy game of "Spot what & who is not in the movie".
Kojak's Wig | November 6, 2013 1:26 AM
Understand industry spin when you read it, people. This is PR "lowering the bar" away from great expectations.
Add another one to the board for the maker of "Jungle Fever", "She Hate Me", "Red Hook Summer", "Miracle At St. Anna" and soon "Da Blood of Jesus"! Got to give it up for that hustle, at the very least.
Micah | November 5, 2013 11:50 PM
Josh Brolin standing up for Spike Lee's vision is greatly appreciated. Spike told a story how he felt it needed to be told. Granted the director's cut isn't always the best, you often find it is a much richer story than the one the studio and producers allow to hit the big screen.
Donella | November 5, 2013 8:42 PM
I love the cold, bluish tint that matches the bleak storyline.
It reminds me of Inside Man's greenish atmosphere and emphasis on dirty banking.
I'm excited about Spike's Old Boy. I believe it will surprise many people and do quite well, although I'll have to get my head around Terrance Blanchard not doing the score.
Monique a Williams | November 5, 2013 6:22 PM
I'm glad someone made Spike edit it down. He has a problem with not knowing when to cut. This will probably save the film.
Daryl | November 5, 2013 5:28 PM
Spike Lee will deliver. Actors are not directors even through some are, so they look at film a little different than directors. So I wouldn't put too much stock in Josh Brolin opinion. As far as the part about if Spike Lee returning to form I disagree with that assesment, he always been in form. What you should be asking is will the audience ever return to form of liking personal films, creativity and originality. Spike Lee Oldboy will be a top 5 film of the year.
Tyler | November 5, 2013 3:21 PM
Also - if the studio forced cuts then the result falls on their shoulders. I wouldn't blame Lee for what we'll inevitably see if they forced him to make cuts he wouldn't have otherwise made.
That said, not sure what return to form you're talking about. The only movie he's made in the last 10 years or so that isn't any good is She Hate Me (and maybe Miracle at St. Anna).
Dankwa Brooks | November 5, 2013 1:08 PM
Exactly what JAYTEEDEE said. My first thoughts was "Actors always say that shit". Even on my low level of filmmaking as a director I've learned that actors always want more screen time to exhibit what they can do or "what's important for the character".
JayTeeDee | November 5, 2013 11:29 AM
I don't think that this necessarily means that the movie will be bad. I'm sure that Josh Brolin as an actor is certainly going to like the longer cut that will give him more character moments and screen time to show of his skills. I do hope that both cuts will be released on Blu-Ray though when it comes out to compare.

Grandmothers' day, Hawaii and a bistrot spirit.
Today is Grandmothers' day here in France. everywhere "les Mamies" were taken out to lunches, flower shops were open(normally closed on Sundays) and husbands and children walked around with small bouquets for their sweet "Mamie" I wish I had a "Mamie" who I could spoil today, but the best I could do, was join in the fun at out Cecile's bar, "le café du Centre" in Beaulieu sur Dordogne, where everybody gathered in happy spirit for coffee and croissants!
Of course that is something just up my alley, for I adore my coffee and I adore my croissant. I'm not a very routine and organized focused person, but not a day goes by that I don't routinely start my day with my black "café allongé, un verre d'eau, un croissant and the day's journal, La Montagne.
..my habitual café et croissant..
And so…right there, this morning, next to mon Chéri, among our cafés and croissant crumbs, camera, lenses and writing carnets and laughter of Cecile's clients, the idea was born for a new blog. I am up for change!
..le café du centre..
So maybe I will move over from Myfrenchkitchen to Café & croissant, which will just be about everything I encounter in my everyday life…I suppose not much different from what I've done on Myfrenchkitchen. and of course food is included….man can't live on croissants alone! I am considering having only the one blog…for my art, for our coin Perdu and its country life and restoration and all things that I find brings sense to this challenging life we live. But maybe I won't move…I will of course lose many of my readers and will have to start all over and my URL will change which is always a complicated story for all involved. But where is a will, is a way. I need to move on to something new…some new juice! The future will lead me.
I'm also leaving this week for a week or two in Hawaii with mon Chéri. All tech stuff will stay behind, except for my camera. I'm taking only my bathing suit, sketching tools and little black number…for all those dinners awaiting me! I want to switch off and indulge in nature the sun and surroundings, let my senses treat me every day. Can you tell I'm excited?
..early morning..
And to round off this post…I made a curry chicken tagine for dinner..
- Chicken cut into portions, browned in olive oil and madras curry. Added potatoes cut in cubes, onions cut roughly, a handful of organic dried apricots, chopped preserved lemon, a tablspoon of wild flower honey and some homemade chicken stock from the freezer. Bring to the boil and slowly simmer until you have a thick sauce and tender vegetable and chicken.
- Add some spices of your taste…I used cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, salt and pepper and crushed juniper berries.
- Serve with couscous.
- Bon appétit!!

It is the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League final East Central Saskatchewan has always dreamed of, the Yorkton Terriers will face-off with the rival Melville Millionaires.
Both teams earned their spot in the final with Game five semi-final wins Friday, each winning their sides four games to one.
Melville turned the trick with a 2-0 shut-out in North Battleford to eliminate the Stars.
It took overtime in Yorkton for the Terriers to dispatch the Humboldt Broncos.
After a scoreless first period Friday, it appeared the second might go into the books the same way until Greg Moro notched a goal for the Broncos at the 19:23-mark of the period.
Brett Boehm would score the equalizer for the Terriers with a powerplay effort 38-seconds into the second period.
The rest of the game would go scoreless, pushing the game to overtime for the fourth time in the series.
Chase Norrish would notch the series-winner 1:53 into extra time.
Kale Thomson had the win in the Terrier net facing 30-shots, while Ryland Pashovitz faced 37 in the loss for Humboldt.
Chase Norrish said having two overtime winners in the series was a little unreal, but he was still all smiles after the series winner.
"It feels good to help the team out like that," he said.
Norrish said in overtime he was just trying to stick to some hockey basics, trying "to find open ice," and once found, using it to get a good shot on net.
Terrier head coach Trent Cassan said it was a great goal to win.
"Chase had a lot of space with the puck to get it to a scoring area," he said.
Cassan was also happy to be making a second straight league final, having won the crown last spring.
"I'm really happy for the guys," he said, adding he wanted the team to take a couple of days to enjoy the accomplishment before focusing on the final.
Cassan did add making back-to-back finals was "a good accomplishment" for the team.
As for Humboldt, Cassan said the Broncos did not go meekly, pushing the Terriers into overtime four times, and winning the series opener.
"I can't say enough about how well they played. The series could have been flipped over for them," he said.
Game Four
The fourth game of the series went last Wednesday (April 2) in Humboldt.
The host Broncos had goals from David Miazga and Gray Marr in the first period to establish a 2-0 lead which held through the opening frame.
Jordan Ross cut the lead in half with a short-handed effort at 1:43 of the second, before Jarrett Fontaine re-established a two-goal lead at 11:41.
Kailum Gervais brought the Terriers back to within one with a powerplay marker at 18:40 of the second, and Riley Hunt knotted the score 3-3 with a goal 51-seconds later.
The third proved scoreless, sending the game to overtime.
It was a short-lived extra frame as Chase Norrish scored the winner for the Terriers 25-seconds into extra time, for a 4-3 win.
Thomson faced 34-shots in the Terrier net for the win, with Pashovitz facing 49 in the Bronco net taking the loss.
Game Three
It was an old-fashioned shoot-out at the Farrell Agencies Arena last Tuesday (April 1).
Boehm used the powerplay to score the game's first goal for the Terriers in the opening frame, only to have that effort matched by Cody Pongracz with a Bronco goal with the man advantage.
Chase Norrish notched a Terrier goal in the second, but it too was matched by an effort by Humboldt's Gray Marr.
Then in the third both offences geared up.
Connor Swystun gave Humboldt its first lead of the game 3:37 into the last period, with Stuart Symenuk adding one at 3:59 for a 4-2 Bronco lead.
Boehm drew the Terriers to within one at 11:35, and Zach Zadorozniak potted the equalizer at 16:16.
Boehm completed a hat trick with his second powerplay goal of the night at 18:10 to put the home team up one.
Tayler Thompson added an empty netter for the Terriers, which would become the game-winner as Pongracz gave the Broncos hope with a goal at 19:37 to make it a 6-5 contest.
Thomson had the win facing 36-shots, while Pashovitz took the loss looking at 38.
Boehm said potting three goals was obviously "huge" adding that being down a pair early in the third meant the Terriers were playing with some urgency.
After falling behind by two, Cassan called a time out. Boehm said it was a reminder from their coach that there was lots of time left on the clock, and they needed to settle back into their game.
"He said to relax … That there was lots of time left, to keep pushing," he said, adding the team bought in and felt confident they would catch the Broncos.
Up next
Headed to the league finals the playoff stats are a mix for the two combatants.
The Terriers have a decided edge in terms of offence having scored 41-goals in their 10 playoff games compared to 24 in nine games for the Mills.
Defensively, Melville has been stingier allowing only 15-goals over nine games, compared to 25 in 10-games by the Terriers.
Chase Norrish said the prospect of a rivalry final was "pretty exciting," adding the atmosphere will be pretty intense because of rabid fans. "Both rinks are going to be packed," he said.
Cassan said there was "going to be enough talk about it and hype," but also urged fans "to keep a little bit of perspective," noting that it is Junior hockey played by mainly teenagers.
In that regard Cassan felt there will be "many ups and downs, not just in the series, but in a 20-minute period," and both players and fans have to ride the roller coaster with poise.
"You can't live in a loss too long, or a win either," he offered.
While the rivalry might intensify the series, Norrish said he believes the playoff run this year, and the league crown last year, will be assets the Terriers can draw, adding the core of the Terriers were in the 2013 final.
While winning against Notre Dame in their opening round in five, and then eliminating Humboldt in five, Norrish said the Terriers had to work for their wins in both series, and that battle testing is important in the playoffs.
Looking back at the regular season the Terriers topped the Viterra Division with 81-points, Melville finishing second at 74.
The Terriers had a league best 186 goals, the Mills second at 181.
The Terriers also had a league-best 125 goals against, while the Mills were fifth allowing 158.
In head-to-head play the Terriers won six-of-eight regular season meetings.
Norrish said the regular season will have little to do with the series ahead, adding they know the Millionaires are "going to bring their 'A' game" in the finals.
Norrish said ultimately the Terriers can't focus too much on the opposition being their arch rivals.
"We've just got to go into it thinking about it one period at a time," he said.
The final's schedule has the series starting at the Farrell Agencies Arena in Yorkton Friday, with Game two moving to Melville Satuday. Game three will be in Yorkton Monday, Game four in Melville next Wednesday (April 16). If Game five is needed, it will be played in Yorkton next Friday, April 18, with Game six, again if needed Saturday, April 19 in Melville. If the series goes the distance, Game seven would be played in Yorkton, Monday, April 21.

Happy New Year to you all! It's crazy that we are already into the second week of January! I wanted to share this last week, but with company in town last week and trying to get all the Christmas decorations down over the weekend, there wasn't much time for anything else .
I thought maybe it was too late to share, but I decided it wasn't. :-) I'm so glad that we did it, my girls had so much fun doing it together Monday night for a family activity.
It was so fun to see what they each had to say and their responses. It will definitely be a gem to have at the end of the year and to see what has changed or is still the same. Catch me after the jump for the free printable for a girl or boy.
2013 Questionnaire
To print just click on the images below, this will open them in another window. Right click and save to your computer. Then print on portrait setting with no scaling.
We also traced their handprint and let them decorate it how they wanted to so they will be able to see how much they've grown in 2014.
Then I put all the sheets in an envelope to keep on the bookshelf to be opened up at the end of year.
After finishing our questionnaires and handprints, we also pulled out the 2014 calendar to write down the things we wanted to do this year. Davina posted last Friday about finding ways to make the year more magical. We came up with some fun things that we are all looking forward to. Donuts with dad on the 5th Saturdays, equalling to be four times throughout the year. Yogurt with mom, we just marked four times throughout the year that we'd go. We also planned out dates with the kids. They were each scheduled a date with mom or dad (alternating every month) on a certain week so it could be planned at the beginning of the week. We are wanting to make 2014 a great year!

The Marion County Sheriff's Department has arrested two men for armed robbery.
It's charged Taylor Hastings, 23, and Samuel Borelli, 21.
Deputies said a man contacted Borelli to help him find marijuana to buy. They said Borelli and Hastings then planned to rob the man.
Deputies said Borelli drove the man to Meadowdale United Methodist Church where Hastings threatened the man with a handgun and demanded his wallet and money.
They are in North Central Regional Jail with bail set at $100,000 each.
Original Story:

After hearing Stu's comments today on payroll, the Rays have reached their current financial peak. It even seems as if they've propped up a ladder that they may or may not be able to support. As the Rays continue to grow (as their payroll), the question comes, where will the revenue come from?
Obviously butts in the seats are the primary source of income. But my question is, is there more to be had in tv revenue? For the last couple years the Rays have been trying to expand their fan base, especially in Orlando. Now the Rays have set themselves up in Port Charlotte in a very lovely spring training facility. While the Rays are expanding their exposure, how much potential is their for larger tv revenue? Is this a viable source of additional income?
If the Rays also make it to the post-season this year, the Rays should see a very sizable attendance increase in each of the next two seasons. But is that the only major source of additional income? Just wanted to see if anyone could shed more light on this or offer up additional comments.

After 65 years, fallen TN seaman returns home
To say this is a moving account is an understatement.
SNEEDVILLE – In a crowded chapel in a small town nestled in the shadows of the snow capped Clinch Mountain, a standing room only crowd gathered to remember a man no one in the room ever met.
There were soldiers from four wars, school children and distant relatives who came to remember Seaman 1st Class General Preston Douglas.
Douglas was a sailor in World War II. He was assigned to the U.S.S. Helena when the ship came under attack at the Battle of Kula Gulf.
On the morning of July 6, 1943, a Japanese submarine torpedoed the Helena.
