Local judge honored with TX-DOT Road Hand Award
The Texas Department of Transportation selected Jones County Judge Dale Spurgin as the recipient of the TX-DOT Road Hand Award.
TX-DOT officials said his help with transportation issues in West Texas during his time as a member of the Abilene Metropolitan Planning Organization showed exemplary leadership.
Spurgin had a part in selecting projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and helped with the replacement of about 20 bridges in Jones County. Spurgin said he was "surprised" and "honored to receive the award.
The Road Hand Award was created in 1973 to recognize individuals who have shown leadership outside of the transportation industry.

The Soldiers Project
Purpose Prize Winner 2009
As Judith Broder watched a play documenting the mental anguish some veterans experience after coming come from war, something clicked. As a psychiatrist, she knew that without help some soldiers would never get past what they had seen and done. She also understood that a veteran's distress can painfully affect loved ones. Taking action, Broder created an organization that supports free, confidential, unlimited therapy to service members and their families.

In 2005, the Rev. Richard Joyner had a realization. He had presided over too many funerals at a church of just 300 members. In one year alone, 30 congregants under the age of 32 years had died.
"We had at least 20 funerals per year, and a lot of the deaths were health-related — poor diets, no exercise," says Joyner, now 62, pastor of the Conetoe Baptist Church in rural North Carolina. "It just started to feel unconscionable that you would see someone 100 pounds overweight on Sunday and not say anything about it. Then they'd die of a heart attack."

Redskins training camp report: Rogers
Carlos Rogers implored the Redskins to make him a starter again. The team complied, but wants pickoffs in return.
Evan Vucci/ASSOCIATED PRESS
View More Images from this story
Visit the Photo Place
ASHBURN--Carlos Rogers walked onto the practice field here shortly before 8:30 a.m. yesterday underneath a menacing sun. He pulled his burgundy Washington Redskins helmet onto his head, snapped his chin strap into place and resumed his quest.
It's a journey that Rogers hopes, nay, expects will end with a multi-million dollar contract. And therein lies the irony.
You see, Rogers is one of the Redskins' two undisputed starting cornerbacks, yet his job security is, in fact, in doubt. And for several weeks during the winter, the scene that unfolded yesterday morning was far from a sure thing.
Rogers threatened to request a trade in the offseason after he lost his starting job to Shawn Springs last December. Frustrated and confused by his demotion, he closely monitored the status of Springs and free agent DeAngelo Hall as the free agency period loomed.
Before the Redskins made any decisions, Rogers made it clear he would not accept the status quo.
"After the season, during [exit] interviews, I was like, 'If that's the case, I want to be traded,'" Rogers said. "I really didn't have nothing to talk to them about."
The Redskins released Springs and signed Hall to a 6-year, $54 million contract on the first day of free agency, so Rogers knew his role. The starting job was his.
But he's entering the last year of the rookie contract he signed as the ninth-overall pick in 2005, so considerable uncertainty remains.
"I think it's motivating," Rogers said. "My job is to get the job done and try not to think about it. I know it's going to be kind of in my head, but the most important thing is to try to win. I think if we win, it will help a lot of guys out as far as getting contracts signed."
Rogers' 2007 season ended in Week 8 after a gruesome hit resulted in a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee. He rehabilitated the injury in time to begin last season as the starter opposite Springs.
He began the year playing the best football of his career. As the Redskins soared to a 4-1 start, Rogers seemed ready to shake his well-earned notoriety for dropping interceptions.

Istanbul 2020 Head Commits To NOCs
Hasan Arat, Chairman of Istanbul 2020, pledged the strongest possible commitment to All NOCs at the Pan American Sports Organisation (PASO) Extraordinary General Assembly in Jamaica.
He reiterated Istanbul's promise to NOCs to deliver optimal Games-time conditions for their teams, citing several highlights from the Istanbul 2020 Candidature File.
Istanbul 2020 would fund workshops to enable considerable NOC input to Games planning; for Olympic Village amenities Istanbul 2020 would provide athlete rooms in legacy configuration to offer "unprecedented" relaxation and social spaces; and for Games-time convenience Istanbul 2020 would deliver a "unique" dedicated Training Precinct co-located with the Olympic Village to minimize athletes' pre-competition travel.
Arat said, "this PASO General Assembly is our first opportunity to meet with NOCs since we submitted our Candidature File last month. When the NOCs read our file in detail, they will see Istanbul 2020 has taken on board the invaluable advice we have received from NOCs over the last few months and years.
"This advice has enabled us to deliver a technically excellent plan that, for the first time in history, will have four competition zones set on two continents in one iconic city. This guarantees a once-in-a-lifetime experience for NOCs, their athletes, and all involved.
He added, "however, even though we have submitted our file, we recognize that there is always more to learn, so we are continuing to build our relationships here at PASO and other upcoming official meetings with NOCs to ensure that their athletes have the best experience possible should Istanbul have the honour of hosting Turkey's first ever Olympic Games".
Istanbul 2020 Director of Sport, Alp Berker, who joined Hasan at the PASO General Assembly said, "we firmly believe that NOCs and their athletes are at the heart of the Olympic Movement and as such they are at the heart of our planning. Our bid team of national and international experts are fully committed to understanding the evolving needs and priorities of each NOC, and we promise engagement with every committee leading up to the Games, should our bid be successful".Write or read comments about this article

Screaming Fans at Pop Concerts: Part Tradition, Part Primeval Roar
Why do young concertgoers shout their lungs out like they're auditioning for a slasher flick? It's partly because screaming is a customary ritual for such an event. It's also because screaming is a primal form of sociological expression.

Shooting Star Lyrics - Owl City
Close your tired eyes, relax and then,
count from one to ten, and open them.
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down, but not this time.
Way up in the air, you're finally free,
and you can stay up there, right next to me.
All this gravity will try to pull you down, but not this time.
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out, then its time for you to shine;
Brighter than a shooting star,
So shine no matter where you are.
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light 'cause its time for you to shine;
Brighter than a shooting star,
So shine no matter where you are,
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa!
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are,
Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts,
And fan the flames so hot, it melts our hearts.
Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out, but not this time.
Let your colours burn and lightly burst,
into a million sparks, that all disperse.
And illuminate a world that'll try to put you down, but not this time.
A thousand heart beats beat in time,
and makes this dark planet come alive.
So when the lights flicker out tonight,
you gotta shine.

I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Adam, Eve, and Human Population Genetics, Part 1: Scripture, science, and defining the issues
Does the human race all descend from two individuals? Genomic science says no, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Adam and Eve were still historic persons.
The "One Thing" Behind the Genesis Debate
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
From the Archives: A BioLogos Response to Kenneth Keathley, Part 1
From 2012: The entire BioLogos community would like to thank Dr. Keathley not only for his work in writing his introductory essay, but for his willingness to organize a small collection of essays by other Southern Baptist scholars describing their concerns about the BioLogos perspective. We welcome this opportunity to clarify our positions and remove stumbling blocks where possible.
Soul, Strength and Mind: How BioLogos brought me out of hiding
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
John Calvin on Nicolaus Copernicus and Heliocentrism
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.

Origins News Roundup for August 20, 2014

Surprised by Snow Globes
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Is that all?: Reflecting on a Christian Reading of Genesis
It is important to know what we should not expect from the Bible. But my fear is that we leave it at that and neglect the role that the Bible plays in the lives of Christians here and now.

Tea Sandwich Saturday #25 - Banana Peppers & Bacon
I actually had the idea a while back: Why not see if my good old Linzer cookie cutters with the teapot insert could chop a tiny chunk of raw vegetable? After slitting and flattening one of the peppers, I simply used the cookie cutter insert on a cutting board to press out a teapot-shaped piece. Easy! When I looked online, I noticed that the pairing of banana peppers, cream cheese and bacon seemed to get a lot of good reviews, so here's how I made my spread.
Banana Pepper & Bacon Spread
1 (3-ounce) block cream cheese
2 banana peppers, seeded and chopped coarsely
1 tablespoon prepared bacon bits
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine first three ingredients in food processor just until blended. You still want to see some chunks of the peppers. Add salt and pepper to taste.

A fire smokes near a fertilizer plant that exploded earlier in West, Texas, in this photo made early Thursday morning, April 18, 2013. (AP Photo/LM Otero)
HOUSTON (AP) -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency is refusing to provide money to help rebuild the small Texas town where a deadly fertilizer plant explosion leveled numerous homes and a school, and killed 15 people.
According to a letter obtained by The Associated Press, FEMA says it reviewed the state's appeal for the funds to help West. But the agency says the impact from the explosion "is not of the severity and magnitude that warrants a major disaster declaration."
West Mayor Tommy Muska says the money is needed to cover $57 million in damage, including $40 million to rebuild a destroyed school. The West Fertilizer Co. blew up in April.
The letter is addressed to Texas Gov. Rick Perry and dated June 10.
FEMA did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

An interview with Tucky Williams
AE: What is your hope for the series?
TW: Getting funding would be a good start. We'd love to get picked up by a cable network or website.
Mostly we want to feel like we're making a difference. I'm getting emails from women all over the world telling me they love the show and that they can identify with the characters. That's thrilling.
Then I get the messages from teenage girls who say they're in the closet and afraid. They say the show has made them feel like they're not so alone anymore. That kills me. Having a direct effect on someone's life like that. That's all the fulfillment I need.
AE: Is there anything else you'd want people to know about yourself, the series?
TW: I'm working with the greatest group of actors: Kate Moody (Zoë), the heart and soul of the series; Katie Stewart (Maxine), the ultimate femme fatale; Joe Elswick (Jessie), who shows the strength and courage it takes to be a gay teenager; Jack Cofer (Elliott), who's freely giving away so much of himself; and Cyndy Allen (Susan), who already is the actor I someday hope to be. My writing would be nothing more than words on a page were it not for their amazing performances.
And as for me, I'm not Evan! I love her — there's lots of me in her — but I really am playing a character. I don't drink, ever. I've never smoked weed or done any kind of street drug in my life. I don't speak in her voice. I don't sleep around, not that there's anything wrong with that. And I don't make bad decisions. Except for when it comes to women.

Update: both drivers on my HE-400 now work, though I have no idea what caused the intermittent lack of sound and channel imbalance. Possibly the cable connection?
In any case, I changed over to the velour pads after reading some posts about them. I'm not sure about any differences since I spent all of 2 minutes last night with the pleather pads, but the HE-400 is sounding pretty good. Potentially promising enough to spend a lot more time with them. They're already proving to be effective for more than just bluegrass and ambient electronica, which is more than I can say for my previous HD800 and Qualia 010. And the belly drums on Massive Attack's "Inertia Creeps" somehow went from terribly disappointing to surprisingly awesome. Although that's probably a result of it running on my CD player and properly amped, as opposed to directly from my computer.
Initial impressions are definitely favorable enough to possibly merit a future mini-review, though I can't say my impressions will stay the same as they are now....

City among best places to retire
Chattanooga is among the 100 best places to retire, according to the retirement relocation experts at Where to Retire magazine. In the fifth edition of the annual report on "America's 100 Best Places to Retire," Chattanooga, Nashville and the Kentucky Lake region made the list in Tennessee, and Athens, Brunswick, Savannah and Valdosta were on the list from Georgia. The selected cities are all distinct, but managing editor Annette Fuller said most have qualities sought by active baby boomers and retirees — vibrant downtowns, ongoing education classes, volunteer or part-time work opportunities, walkable neighborhoods, excellent health care and favorable tax and weather climates.
Krispy Kreme stock declines
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc., the chain that revived itself by expanding beyond sweet treats into coffee and smoothies, suffered its worst stock slump Friday in more than two years after reporting second-quarter profits that trailed analysts' estimates. Shares tumbled 15 percent to $19.72 in trading Friday after the Winston- Salem, N.C.-based chain more than doubled its stock price earlier this year.
Krispy Kreme said its net income fell 4.3 percent to $4.72 million, or 7 cents a share, in the three months ended Aug. 4 from a year earlier. The chain has tried to lure customers from coffee sellers with fancier drinks such as lattes and caramel mochas.

When thinning out her eyebrows as a young woman, Saima Bukhari discovered something surprising: she was pretty good at this whole beauty thing. Soon, she was helping her friends improve their looks, a passion that would lead her to stints as a Lancôme makeup artist and student at Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy. She opened Glow Medical Spa and Salon with her husband, using her University of Cincinnati education to help share her talents with the public. Together with her staff, she manages wily heads with custom haircuts and styling, including coloring and full and partial highlights for men and women. When not busy culling body hair with waxing and laser hair removal, staffers expand their relaxation services to the whole body during mani-pedis, facials, and five different massage modalities. They also administer dermal fillers and injections to reverse the signs of aging, and tighten skin with the FDA-approved SmartLipo system.
Inside Glow, crystal chandeliers droop down to illuminate rich wooden floors, blending with natural sunlight, a welcoming fireplace, and flickering candles to bathe visitors in soothing rays. A comfy waiting room replete with tea cookies and pastries showcases the salon's products from brands such as Éminence Organic Skin Care and Bumble and bumble. Inspirational messages pepper the decor, with decorative signs reminding visitors to "glow," "dream," and "don't store extra bubblegum in hair."
Sungum Salon's skincare professionals rejuvenate epidermises with treatments culled from time-honored methods and resources such as ancient Indian therapeutic techniques and Ayurvedic herbs. Their face-care services range from microdermabrasion and facial masks to steams and glycolic peels, whose ingredients—naturally extracted sugar cane, sugar beets, and raw grapes—exfoliate skin while diminishing wrinkles and acne scars. For the rest of the body, an exotic fruit or oatmeal-honey scrub exfoliates skin more effectively than lining your trousers with coarse-grain sandpaper. Sungum Salon's full-body treatments also include a seaweed-and-French-clay wrap, which infuses skin with nutrients, and henna sessions that adorn hands, feet, or backs with temporary ornate designs.
Veteran stylist William Edge wields 20 years of experience as a platform artist and world traveler to lead the staff at his eponymous family of salons, spread across Texas and Tennessee. At each location, teams brandish an arsenal of all-natural Aveda products forged from plants and environmentally friendly ingredients found across the globe. Equipped with such powerful conditioning and coloring supplies, they curtail unruly locks with shaping, shading, and retexturing services, and enhance radiant tresses with spa services, such as massages, facials, and makeup applications. Additionally, the salons' seasoned crew helps hone future stylists' skills at Prodedgy, its own training salon for emerging talent.
Knockouts Haircuts for Men amps up the classic barbershop experience with a lavish, sports-themed approach to men's styling that has been featured on Today and CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. At a still-growing number of locations throughout the country, the company's all-female staff of stylists quarterbacks a full playbook of services ranging from bare-essential to spa-worthy. First and foremost, they clip shaggy locks, but they also administer facials, manicures, massages, and waxes. Complimentary beverages are included with every visit, giving patrons something to sip on while watching a sports game on TV or contemplating how they would fend off a lion using just a comb.
Medical director Dr. David Grant hung up his scalpel after nearly 39 years as a plastic surgeon and now devotes his attention to noninvasive techniques of skin conditioning and repair that allow him to take what he feels is a more comprehensive approach to anti-aging. He and his team at Laser Sculpting Center blast away unwanted fat and body hair with an arsenal of lasers and shoo away wrinkles and signs of aging with chemical peels and microdermabrasion. Massages and bodywork techniques leave muscles relaxed and minds destressed, and raindrop therapy soothes the spine with essential oils and heat from hot towels or tiny lightning bolts.
21st Century Dental expanded its aesthetic umbrella in 2009 to include 21st Century Med Spa, spreading the office?s goal of enhancing smiles to include other parts of the face and body. Medical director Brandon Charles oversees the clinic and aesthetic nurse Cheryl Gwartney masters specialty services that serve her personal passion for making patients feel confident in their own skin. Laser facial services plump and tighten facial skin to erase irregularities such as age spots, acne, and sun spots. Cheryl also wields syringes full of Radiesse, Dysport, and Restylane formulas that smooth facial wrinkles in order for adults to be able to sneak into G-rated movies.

Stony Plain Road Streetscape from 149 Street to 158 Street
About the Project
Stony Plain Road Streetscape Improvements
Stony Plain Road is emerging as one of West Edmonton's key destinations. In 2013, the City began streetscape improvements to help make Stony Plain Road more accessible, better designed and pedestrian-friendly.
Stony Plain Road streetscaping is a part of the City's revitalization of Jasper Place, which includes turning Stony Plain Road into a mixed-use "main street" accessible by a variety of transportation modes.

Amen Amen Amen
Our law enforcement officers should cease acting like soldiers at war and return to being peace officers.
Thanks TOT, police officers take an oath to serve the public and uphold the law. Government intervention led by liberals has militarized them and sent them on a mission in the "War on Drugs" it's unfortunate but true that a disproportionate amount of blacks are poor and are into this business; culminating in a disproportionate amount of encounters with the police. It's ridiculous for liberals to assume that the police has a war against blacks and that they along with the rest of white society feel he same about blacks as some whites did during the days of slavery up to the civil rights movement. The war on drugs triangulating with police enforcements are a big problem that can be fixed with the right leadership.
The failed War on Drugs is not privy to just Liberals. Both Political concepts including Conservatives share the perpetration of this lost cause.
Stating that just Liberal support militarization for the war on drugs is disingenuous and terribly inaccurate.
I agree the WAR on DRUGS is LOST. Drugs won. We have learned NOTHING from Prohibition. If people want something bad enough they will find a way to get it.
Legalize ALL drugs. Take the money away from the drug cartels. Use the tax money to eliminate needless bueauracracies and the cost of government and imprisonment, reduce crime committed by users and addicts committed to support their use, thus reducing the stress placed upon the backed-up judicial system. Take substantial portions of the tax from drugs to educate and treat users.
Thanks Jimmy, you're right I went off on an emotional roller coaster for a moment and blamed just liberals; however conservatives have their share of the burden too.
The war on drugs is lost, and as you know I agree on your solution too it and let me admit right now that I know more people that are progressive liberal that agree with this plan more than are conservatives.
Now we need to teach more blacks that our problem as a whole in American society will be much better when we adjust and change our culture to the betterment of ourselves leading to
the betterment of American society as a whole.
The war on drugs is over and drugs won.
Some on the left and some on the right caused this forty plus years of insanity.
I don't think I am ready to legalize all recreational drugs.
Especially not cocaine.
Cocaine is the most destructive substance I've ever encountered.
I personally have known a dozen or more whose lives have been destroyed by that evil substance. Most of them are in the graveyard but a few of them are still around and they are virtually worthless.
All presently illegal drugs are immensely profitable to the Drug Cartels. If people want it, they are going to find a way to get it. Cocaine be it in powder form or in Crack form is indeed dangerous. However, I disagree in that we will allow the Drug Cartel to proliferate and narco-terrorism will blossom by their taking advantage of its illegality. I submit that we legalize along with all the substances, take the money via taxation of them and thereby deny the cartels their billions, then educate, treat, eliminate useless ineffective bureaucracies, reduce crime and thusly prison populations and on and on.
Yes. Cocaine is bad. I think Crystal Meth is worse tho and that one gives me pause. But, again...if people want it...they are going to get it. So, I would reluctantly throw meth into the legalization mix. Very reluctantly.
Drug Cartels tho, are in the business of making money. So it is possible they could find a way around legalization of the drugs by offering cheaper versions.
Going out on a limb here, but an absolute option would be placement of some sort of euphoric drug blocking chip in the brains of all humans. But, that sounds vaguely religiously Book of Revelations regarding humans being bestowed with 'a mark' nearing END TIMES.
Anybody got any other ideas?
PS@Funk: I appreciate your not rubbing my nose in my go to guy Cornell West's comments. Very gentlemanly and classy of you. I know the hell I raise here as a Liberal Democrat might would have provided others of lesser motives and intentions to flat out hammer me to death with his comments. (Not that I could not take it) Nevertheless, thank you.
It's sounds good on paper but one thing our country is good is excess... I think a more balanced approach that still excludes Cocaine, Meth, to name a few. I do concur that Mary Jane should be a non-issue at this point because you don't even need a dealer; you can grow it on your own if you want it that bad... Just starting with Ms. MJ would have an enormous impact regarding the legal system, penal populations, and crime. End "Reefer Madness" and we can start assessing the impact and make future decisions for other illegal drugs based on any success realized. It's a start...
I have long believed that the only way to stop cocaine is to do so at the border with much tighter security.
It is senseless that foreigners can just walk across from Mexico without identifying themselves.
Cocaine cannot be produced in this country.
Marijuana will grow almost anywhere.
legalizing Marijuana has already caused a spike in homelessness in Denver. while it might seem harmless, but it's not harmless to everyone.
Those who abuse alcohol or drugs already has the preponderance of being subject to our nations homeless population. I dare say however that if you were to look up the statistics you would find that alcohol and prescription drugs far out weigh the dangers of the wacky weed. All of the above have the potential to negatively impact ones well being. The reality is the refer is no more dangerous than alcohol and at least ending the enormous burden it places on our legal system alone would have a positive result. As for being a gateway drug, I am not really convinced as alcohol in most cases reduces ones inhibitions and is just as much the culprit.

Wild Pitcher: Derek Lowe Arrested For DUIby Free Britney at . Comments
Quite the week for the Atlanta Braves.
First, pitching coach Roger McDowell's gay slurs came under heavy scrutiny from the league. Now pitcher Derek Lowe has been arrested for a DUI.
At least Chipper Jones (.289, 21 RBIs) hasn't been hurt yet this year.
Lowe got popped last night in Atlanta after a trooper stopped him "detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverage" and gave him a field sobriety test.
Lowe's BAC wasn't higher than his WHIP (1.34) but it may have been close.
Lowe refused to take the state administered alcohol test and was booked and taken to the jail in Atlanta. He was released this morning on $2,944 bail.
A police spokesman revealed that Lowe was also charged with reckless driving and failure to maintain in his lane, which is why he was pulled over.
And with that, your latest member of THG's celebrity mug shots gallery, everyone!
Lowe is 2-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 2011. He is still scheduled to start this Sunday.
A potpourri of resnspoes to everything above We are doing the best we can with what we have. Other than the NL game that didn't come in last night until late (but will be in Friday's paper), we have had everything that coaches have called in, in our local briefs package. JWade, we don't put everything on the net (including round-ups) for a simple reason we want people to buy the paper! News doesn't put everything on the site and neither do/will we. Coaches have to call in their results or they won't make the paper. Luckily, we have some good coaches who DO call in their results, but there are others who don't. I feel like I've explained this 100 times, but I'll do it again: we have a three-man full-time sports department myself, David Hall and Richard Clark. I am also responsible for a weekly publication called the Jones Post, in addition to my Free Press duties. I work approximately 65-70 hours a week in both of those responsibilities (including updating this blog) but am only paid for 40. David Hall covers the Kinston Indians and East Carolina University sports, which our studies show folks want to see more of than high school sports (I know, I can't believe it either). That pretty much fills up his schedule except for the rare prep game he'll cover for us.Richard Clark is primarily an excellent page design/layout guy for us and doesn't write, other than a column here and there.We have Keith Spence as a free-lancer (or stringer) who really gives us a hand and who does it basically for the love of the game. Justin Hill (when he's in town from UNC) is an excellent writer who helps us out. And a few weeks ago, we added Dusty Davis to our staff on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays to take call-ins. We do the best we can do with what we have. I can assure you that we all work hard and probably like you do not get anywhere near the compensation we deserve for the hours we put in. But we work as hard as we can.As for the red jacket comments (Daring Venture), dude your jacket is on WAY too tight. It's called being lighthearted and not taking everything so seriously. I think Sidney Lowe Sr. is doing a fine job at N.C. State and no, he's not responsible for what his son does. But thanks for your prayers, dude I need them.Did I think Virginia deserved a No. 4 seed? Heck no! My money was on a 6 to 7 seed, especially with their weak (No. 35) RPI. But to say UVa was awful (co-ACC champs, baby!) is as ill-informed as saying Tyler Hansbrough is the most overrated player in America. Oops.AGAIN we are doing the best job we can do. DHall is in spring training, I am putting together the All-Free Press basketball team and Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame coverage and we're trying to get everything in the paper that we can. That's all we can do. Thanks for being such passionate fans of the local scene.Hanks

Homeland Security searches Elgin state rep's home, office
BY DAVE MCKINNEY Springfield Bureau Chief March 14, 2014 5:50PM
Former state Rep. Keith Farnham, D-Elgin. | Sun-Times Media File Photo
Updated: April 16, 2014 6:13AM
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has searched state Rep. Keith Farnham's Elgin office and home, the federal agency confirmed Friday.
The move is part of an ongoing investigation, but it was not immediately clear what attracted the feds' interest in the Elgin Democrat.
"Special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations executed federal search warrants (Friday) at the Elgin office and residence of Illinois Rep. Keith Farnham," Gail Montenegro, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman, said in a prepared statement.
"No federal search warrant has been executed at Rep. Farnham's Springfield office. Because the investigation is ongoing, no additional details can be released," she said.
Contacted by phone at his home, the three-term state representative offered no hint as to the purpose of the search warrants and referred questions to a criminal defense lawyer, who could not be reached late Friday.
"You know, he's told me not to comment, just to give out his number," Farnham told the Chicago Sun-Times, referring to his lawyer. "That way I'm fair to everybody."
A spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, did not return a message left on his voicemail. Farnham, 66, is running unopposed in Tuesday's primary.
A spokesman for Secretary of State Jesse White confirmed his office had been asked by federal investigators to secure Farnham's office in the Stratton office building next to the state Capitol in Springfield.

Fresh charges were tendered on Friday against the five teenagers accused of vandalising the rooftop of a block of flats in Toa Payoh.
They face between four and nine additional charges each, mostly for criminal trespass.
Reagan Tan Chang Zhi and Chay Nam Shen, both ITE students, each have an additional eight charges, while Boaz Koh Wen Jie, Goh Rong Liang and David William Graaskov face nine, four and five new charges respectively.
The five 17-year-olds are accused of entering the secured rooftop of Block 85A Lorong 4 Toa Payoh by climbing over a wall in the early hours of May 7 - when they are said to have spray-painted indelible graffiti using stolen paint - and on two other occasions.
