FBI files in Cooperstown
You never know what you'll run across when doing baseball research.
While looking through the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library's clipping file for famed pitcher Johnny Vander Meer, what soon appeared was a copy of a 1938 typed letter sent by longtime Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover congratulating the Cincinnati Reds southpaw on his two consecutive no-hitters.
Hoover has been in the news of late thanks to the recently released movie, J. Edgar, starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role and directed by Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood. Hoover was the FBI's chief from its beginnings in 1935 until his death in 1972 at the age of 77.
In the letter, typed on the chief G-Man's letterhead and dated June 17, 1938, Hoover writes, "I did have time to glance at the sports page of one of the Miami papers and read the account of the thrilling no-hit game which you pitched against the Boston Bees, and then when I read of your second no-hit game in five days I simply could not resist dropping you this note to extend you my congratulations on this remarkable feat."
Hoover begins the letter by telling Vander Meer that he's been "engaged in the investigation of the Cash kidnapping case," referring to the kidnapping of 5-year-old James B. Cash Jr., known as "Skeegie," who had been kidnapped from his bed in Princeton, Fla. on May 28, 1938.
Later in the letter Hoover admits that baseball has always been one of his favorite sports and that he attends many games, "although I do not attend as many games as I would like, due to the pressure of my official duties."
In fact, years later, Hoover would be considered for the job of big league baseball's commissioner. After a 1945 speech in which he extolled the virtues of wartime baseball, Hoover's name shot to the top as a possible successor when big league baseball's first commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, passed away in 1944. The job eventually went to Happy Chandler. When Chandler resigned his post in 1951, Hoover's name again was bandied about.
Ellis Ryan, the principal owner of the Cleveland Indians and a member of baseball's screening committee in search of a replacement for Chandler, said in a 1951 interview, "For instance, if J. Edgar Hoover decided to run, I'm sure he would get every vote. But that is out of the question. It would be improper for baseball to attempt to take so valuable a man away from the government."
After sharing with Vander Meer the recent success of the FBI's baseball team in Washington, D.C., Hoover ends the letter by wishing the hurler luck in the future, adding, "I really would be thrilled to see you pitch a third no-hit game this season."
Hoover, once on the Little League board of directors, said that baseball would be the greatest deterrent to crime that America had ever seen. "Keep kids in sports," his motto went, "and out of courts."

Perfectly Perfect
By John Odell
One of my favorite records is not from the pros; it wasn't even set by an adult. It is a Little League record. The Hall of Fame rarely calls out such marks because there are so many games taking place, encompassing so many levels of competition, that the leagues themselves do not even keep track of them.
Occasionally, though, a youth league accomplishment is so astounding that we learn about it here in Cooperstown. On May 14, 2005, 11-year-old Katie Brownell, the pitcher for the Dodgers in the Oakfield (N.Y.) Little League and the only girl in her entire league, set such a record.
Exceptional Little League pitching performances, while uncommon, are nowhere near as rare as they are in the majors. In youth leagues, the combination of talent imbalances and six-inning games means that good pitchers often strike out many batters.
But on this day, Katie was unhittable in a way I had never heard of before. She struck out every batter she faced in all six innings of the regulation game. Eighteen up, eighteen down. A perfect game. And more than that in my mind, because this was the best performance a pitcher could ever imagine. Striking everyone out in a game is the stuff of daydreams and legends. For a pitcher, this was a perfect perfect game. At our request, she donated the jersey she wore on that day.
Several aspects of this record make it special for me. First, if this record doesn't make your jaw drop, whether a boy or a girl accomplished it, then you haven't suffered through the agony of a youth league pitcher walking half a team around the bases, or surrendering hits when he (or she!) keeps the ball around the plate.
Second, Katie was playing baseball because she loved to play baseball. Nothing against other bat and ball games, but if you are a baseball player, there is no substitute. As the curator for Diamond Dreams, our permanent exhibition about the history of women in baseball, I am especially attuned to the challenges girls and women have faced in order to play our National Pastime, even to the point of going to court.
As a culture, we no longer discourage kids from playing baseball because of their skin color or because of a differing ability that puts them at a physical disadvantage to their peers, and I believe that we should not discourage someone from playing simply because she is a girl. In this respect, I think that Katie's performance shows how our love for baseball can be a uniting force, something that draws us together.
Regardless of how many times other Little Leaguers may have reached this mark of perfection, either before or since, I am thrilled that we can illustrate Katie Brownell's accomplishment for our visitors in our new exhibit One for the Books.
It's memories like these that will be brought to life in One for the Books. The exhibit opens Memorial Day Weekend in Cooperstown.

Bo Duke comes to Cooperstown
By Bill Francis
Was that really Bo Duke?
John Schneider, who famously portrayed Bo Duke on the television series "The Dukes of Hazzard" from 1979-85, could be found on Cooperstown's Main Street in front of the KeyBank building signing autographs on Friday.
"My brother Bob lives in Cooperstown right around the corner, and he teaches people how to paint beautiful landscapes right up here at the top of the bank building," said Schneider between posing for pictures and signing photos for fans. "I was doing a movie in Florida and Bob said, 'Hey, you're on the East Coast. Come through Cooperstown on your way. It's Induction Weekend.' I wish my 17-year-old son was here."
Besides "The Dukes of Hazzard," Schneider has had starring roles on such series as "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and "Smallville." He's even portrayed a few baseball players over the years.
"I played several baseball players, mostly knuckleball players, on television," Schneider said. "On a show called "Grand Slam" (1990) I played a guy named Dennis Bakelenekoff and another one for Aaron Spelling I played a dead guy who was a knuckleball pitcher called "Heaven Help Us" (1994), and that didn't last very long either."
While he played a knuckleball pitcher, he couldn't master the elusive pitch. But he did get to meet one of the pitch's masters today.
"Here's the thrill of a lifetime. It's when somebody says, 'I'd like to shake your hand,' and I turn and it's (Hall of Famer) Phil Niekro," Schneider said. "What a nice man and what an honor to have Phil Niekro want to meet me. He's a hero. So my weekend was made right there."
Though he was a baseball fan while growing up in Mt. Kisco, N.Y., Schneider has been away from the game for a little while.
"I played Little League as a kid. I was a first baseman and they called me Stretch. But I've been so busy I haven't been following it a lot," Schneider said. "I grew up a Tom Seaver fan, an Amazing Mets fan. We're talking about '69. One of the first Super 8 movies I had on my Kodak projector was called "The Amazing Mets." In those days Gil Hodges and the gang were my favorites."
Today, Schneider's 17-year-old son is a big fan.
"I went to the Baseball Hall of Fame with my son a couple years ago and Chasen read every word on every plaque in that building. It was the greatest thing," Schneider said. "We use to call him Stats because at 14 he could tell you everything about anybody."
Schneider can be found outside the KeyBank building in Cooperstown for the rest of Induction Weekend.

Classic Hall of Famers thrill packed crowd, promise more
By Trevor Hayes
There were literally no empty seats in the Grandstand Theater for the Hall of Fame Classic Voices of the Game. And this special Father's Day edition delivered with the same impact the four Hall of Famers on stage had during their careers.
The sellout crowd listened for as Triple-Crown winner Bob Feller, 300-game winner Phil Niekro, 3,000-hit Club member Paul Molitor and 16-time Gold Glove Award winner Brooks Robinson reflected on their careers and talked about the game they love.
All four legends and fellow Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins headline the signature event of the weekend, the Hall of Fame Classic on Father's Day at Doubleday Field.
The theme of fathers and sons has been a principal element throughout this inaugural Hall of Fame Classic Weekend and was present during Voices of the Game. Niekro spoke vividly of his relationship. As a youngster in Ohio, he looked up to his father, who taught him the weapon that would be his bread and butter in a 24 season career.
""If it wasn't for the knuckleball, I probably would have ended up coal mining," Niekro said. "I didn't know what it was. I just had fun playing knuckle ball in the back yard. Then I was able to get Little League guys out."
His success continued and he hitched a ride to a tryout with the Milwaukee Braves. He signed for $500. Early on, Knucksie as he became known, was unsure of his talents. When the Hall's manager of museum programs Steve Light, who moderated the event asked Niekro how he fared against the two accomplished hitters on either side of him, Knucksie started laughing.
"I faced Brooks early on during a Spring Training game," he recalled. "One of my 77-mph fastballs got away from me and I hit him in the head."
Robinson countered, "Didn't hurt a bit."
"I thought I was going to be done the next day for hitting Brooks Robinson with a fastball," Niekro said.
Robinson's start wasn't something to brag about either, though he did. He played most of the 1955 season for the York (Penn.) White Roses – a B-League team in the Piedmont League. Robinson got the call at the end of the season and got two hits in his first start.
"I called home and said, 'This is cake. Why did I play in [the minors] all year? I should have been in the big leagues.'"
He then went 0-for-18. He recovered and became one of the cornerstones of the great Orioles teams of the 1960's and 70's. He appeared in four World Series, winning a pair of rings. Robinson played on a lot of great teams, but he feels one of the best didn't achieve to the level that some of his other teams might have.
In honor of the 40th Anniversary of the Miracle Mets, Light asked Robinson about the 1969 World Series.
"I thought our '62 team was our best," he said. "But anything can happen in a seven-game series. We beat [Hall of Famer Tom] Seaver and lost the next four, straight."
Baltimore was back in the Series again the next season and Robinson took the MVP honors, hitting .429 against the Big Red Machine from Cincinnati. He drove in six and hit a pair of home runs. Molitor like Robinson achieved October glory by winning the MVP Award in 1993 with the Blue Jays.
During that Fall Classic, he hit .500 with a pair of doubles, a pair of triples and a pair of homers while driving in eight against the Phillies. Molitor's best memory of that Series however, was not one of his personal achievements.
"The '93 Series, I was on first base when Joe Carter hit that ball over the wall," he said. "I was thinking if it goes off the wall and I hustle, I can score and end this thing, but then it went out and it was all over anyway."
Another highlight of Molitor's career was reaching 3,000 hits. Pure consistency throughout his career allowed The Ignitor to retire with a career .306 batting average and 3,319 hits. In 1987, he took a run at one of the game's longest standing records, Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. Molitor hit safely in 39 straight.
"Whether it's milestones or streaks, players don't really play for those, but numbers are big in baseball," he said. "Falling 17 games short is still a long way away from that number and my perspective changed after that streak.
"I always tell people: The way you handle success is directly related to the way you handle failure, because 3,000 hits means 7,000 outs."
Knucksie, a member of another elite club – the 300-game winners – applauded Molitor on the achievement. He said pitchers have help in winning games, but hitters are alone.
Niekro's 300th came in his last start of 1985 as a Yankee. It was a special moment for him and his father, who was faltering in health. Niekro was 46 at the time and at the end of his contract.
"If I didn't win it, I would have had to wait until the next spring and he wasn't going to hold on that long," he said. "So really that was a blessing for both of us."
Feller missed 300 wins by 34. But he recorded a career-high 27 in 1940 followed by 25 in 1941 before leaving baseball for most of four seasons to serve in the Navy during World War II. Light noted that the Grandstand Theater is a replica of Chicago's Comiskey Park where Feller authored one of his three no-hitters and the only Opening Day no-no in the history of the game.
"Well it was 69 years ago and I remember it quite well," the Indians ace recalled. "It wasn't my best no-hitter. I didn't have great stuff that day. I only struck out eight and we won 1-0. I remember that my catcher, Rollie Hemsley, hit a triple with my rommmate on base to score the only run."
At 90, Feller's memory is as sharp as if he were reading a box score. Light asked him about his famous high-leg kick and he laughed.
"That high leg kick…You've seen the picture taken in Yankee Stadium in 1936 or '37 with my leg kicked over my head and the photographer laying flat on the ground," Feller said. "That is all for show. It was just symbolism. But it's the most popular picture they've got of me and it sells well at card shows."
Another Feller myth was confirmed, when Light asked the former fireballer about the motorcycle and his fastball. Feller said that, that also happened in Chicago. He was wearing a tie and a dress shirt during the exhibition, but when he wound up with the motorcycle ten feet behind him, the ball beat the bike to the target. Using a timer and the vehicles speedometer, it was figured that he threw the ball 104 mph. Later a similar event was held and Feller clocked in at 107 mph.
Apparently worried by this, Molitor interrupted the story, "Can I ask him how his arm is feeling, since I have to leadoff against him tomorrow? I've heard stories of him hitting the first batter, so I'm just curious."
Once the laughter subsided, and it was confirmed that Molitor would be the first batter to face the Classic's starting pitcher – the 90-year-old Feller – Light asked Robinson how he felt knowing that he'd be the first guy to dig in against Knucksie in the bottom of the first.
Recalling their Spring Training encounter, Robinson looked worried and Niekro laughed, "Put your helmet on big boy, it's coming."
It is coming. In less than 24 hours, the legends will take the field at Doubleday and the inaugural Hall of Fame Classic will begin with Molitor facing Feller and Robinson against Niekro. Feller's words seemed to sum up the entire weekend.
Baseball is a game of luck and there's a lot of good and a lot of bad," he said, noting the rain that fell on Cooperstown for most of Saturday. "We're going to have a lot of fun tomorrow, rain or shine."

Getting Excited for the Classic
By Samantha Carr
I work at the Baseball Hall of Fame and am surrounded by some of the greatest baseball minds and scholars in the world on a daily basis. But the other night when I was watching a ballgame on TV and had a question, I still picked up the phone and called my dad.
The bond we have was only strengthened over the years as my father coached me in Little League, just as he had my brother and sister before me. He never missed a game in high school or college and was always there to give me advice on my swing. Although my playing days are behind me, my dad is still always there for me to fix my computer or find out why my car is making that funny noise. Now that all of his kids are coaches, you can still find him at the diamond, showing his support and sharing tips.
Baseball runs in my family. My dad's father loved the game and his older brother does too. My dad passed that love on to us. This Father's Day, my family is coming to Cooperstown to celebrate Dad and watch some legends of my childhood, and his, compete at Doubleday Field.
We are excited to watch Phil Niekro dazzle hitters again with his knuckleball, and see Bob Feller prove that at 90 years old, he's still got it. Not to mention the chance to meet Brooks Robinson, Fergie Jenkins and Paul Molitor. It will be fun to see a few players who just recently retired like Jeff Kent, Mike Timlin and Steve Finley – and I know my dad will be happy to see some Yankee greats like Mike Pagliarulo and Kevin Maas.
People are always in awe of my job because I get to work in baseball and meet some legendary players. But June 21st will be pretty special this year – because I get to share it all with my dad.
For tickets to the June 21 Hall of Fame Classic, call 1-888-Hall-of-Fame weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Photo Labs Go Wide
Resurgence in Retail and Wholesale Photo Labs
Part 1 of 4
Whether printing a series of posters for a hair salon, wall portraits for a wedding, or signage for a trade show, today�s retail and wholesale photo labs are capitalizing on wide format printing.
"In general, while the vast majority of printers were in the professional and photo specialty channel, in the last year and a half there�s been significant growth in the retail channel, primarily in anticipation of market demand," states Joellyn Gray, director, customer marketing and research, imaging division, Fujifilm U.S.A.
"Retailers currently see success with posters," continues Gray. "But there are many other consumer products that can be made with photo lab equipment." For example, celebratory banners�Congratulations, Happy Birthday, or Happy Anniversary�where a template allows you to drop in text and photos.
"There�s also a potential for these retailers to expand into a business base," continues Gray. "Instead of a �Congratulations Johnny� celebratory banner, print one for the grand opening of a store or to promote a sale. Large format essentially opens up a bigger market for these retailers."
Varied ImpactDespite the resurgence in traditional photo lab processing, are Web to print applications a threat?
"Web to print hasn�t affected the wide format sector too much," states Tom Giglio, national sales support manager, Oc� North America. "There�s so much data needed to print, even if you�re dealing with RGB images on the photo side and you want a 48x60-inch poster. You still have to deal with bandwidth that is somewhat cumbersome for the Web to deliver. I think the only time you�ll see the Web impacting business is if people have online libraries. It all depends on the size of the image and the turnaround time. People always want it now," he continues.
Gray agrees that it�s not happening in photo retail on a large scale yet. "I think the product forms themselves are almost too special for the consumer and they like the idea of talking to the lab clerk to make sure they�re getting the product they want because the occasion is so important."
However, average consumers will eventually become more comfortable with the idea. "It really depends on the product form," reiterates Gray. "I think consumers are comfortable with ordering posters online right now because the process is the same as ordering a 4x6-inch print. But when they get into something like a banner, they still need a little hand holding."
John Placko, senior product manager, wide format inkjet products, imaging division, Fujifilm U.S.A. does believe Web to print is fairly prevalent and growing in the fine art reproduction area. For artists that are Adobe PhotoShop experienced and can provide a proofed, original scan, it�s a model that�s very viable, he argues.
Placko continues, "I don�t think consumers quite understand how easy and how much of a value large format is. We often forget that consumers can log onto a national account�s Web site, order a poster, and pick it up on the way home from work."
According to Chris Howard, senior VP, sales and marketing, Durst Image Technology US, LLC, Web to print is making an impact on the commercial sector. "Retail sites, trade show companies, end users are choosing files and placing project orders online. Usually, graphics and proofs are given, approved, and matched."
"Our Theta Digital Lab System customers all have online ordering and the machines are set up with hot folders that grab images and deposit them into a cue," explains Howard. "Customer orders are usually processed through some internal proprietary system that allows the printer to process and print�it�s an automated workflow."
A Growing BusinessEquipment price is one reason for the upsurge in wide format output created by both retail and wholesale photo labs. The cost of digital printers versus the cost of replacing a traditional silver halide processing machine is inexpensive, some labs can buy several at a time.
With this boost, Gray sees growth in both sectors, with a marketplace differentiation between the two. The wholesale lab is focused on a higher end product, different media and finishes, and perhaps faster delivery times. On the retail side, she says, we�ll see more volume and more consumer-type products like the birthday party banners. Additionally, Gray sees business development in retail with signage and advertising as consumers discover retail quality is strong enough for them to shift their printing from a commercial lab.
According to Howard, it�s the commercial labs as a whole that are making the most of large format printers. "It�s amazing how much volume there is in large format. It�s a growing business, which is why so many people have gotten into it."
In next week�s Digital Queue look for a roundup on popular digital photo lab equipment.

University Home > medicine > Anatomy > Gift Body Program
The gift of one's body allows students of all educational levels to learn and understand the complexity of humans in a far better manner than books or computer programs. From undergraduates taking gross anatomy for the first time to practicing physicians developing or learning new techniques, a broad range of students are given the opportunity to learn from the body itself.
How to become a Gift Body Donor
Becoming a future donor is easy. Donor forms can be requested from the Center for Anatomical Science and Education at (314) 977-8027.
The requester is sent two sets of forms with an instruction sheet. The forms must be completed and signed in the presence of a notary public. The form marked "Return to Saint Louis University" must be returned to the Center for Anatomical Science and Education and include the individual's original signature and the original stamp/seal and signature of the notary.
A wallet card with instructions will be sent to the donor. The second copy of the gift form should be kept with the individual's personal files. Following completion of the forms and informing the family of the desire, there is nothing more to be done until death.

As a kid, one of my favorite things about summer was Girl Scout Camp. While we did get to take some weekend camping trips during the year, we only got to go for extended periods during the summer.
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend summer camp twice. My first time was at a camp where groups of girls slept in cabins. The second time we all slept under the stars for a couple weeks. Both times were fun and each camp had their own unique charm.
My kids are still too young to go to an overnight camp, but when they're a little older, I think it would be a good experience for them to have a similar camping experience. However, we are very cautious about the activities we allow our kids to participate in, so I would want to feel secure knowing I'm making a good choice of overnight camps.
Tips on Trips and Camps is a website that allows you to research overnight camps for kids. It was founded by a group of 40 educated women who care about offering quality information to parents about kids' camps.
They feature information about the following types of camps:
- Language Study/Immersion
- Wilderness Expeditions
- Teen Camps
- Teen Tours
- Sports Camps
- Specialty Camps
- Sleepaway Camps
- Community Service Opportunities
- Creative & Performing Arts
- Academic Programs (USA & Abroad)
- Special Needs
You can request brochures about these camps or even call them up and talk live with them to find the right camp for your child.
I found it very interesting that over 140,000 families have benefited from their advice, and that they spend 90 hours each day on the phone talking with families about the summer programs they represent. It seems like they are very dedicated to what they do.
I'll be bookmarking this website for when my girls are older. You can also learn more about camping from the American Camp Association.

Mongolians have voted in presidential elections held amid concerns over falling mineral prices and fears of a repeat of the deadly riots that followed last year's parliamentary polls. A tight race was expected between Nambaryn Enkhbayar, the incumbent president and leader of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary party (MPRP), and his sole challenger, Tsakhia Elbegdorj of the Democratic Party.
Enkhbayar has pledged to continue supporting his party's rural base, while Elbegdorj pitched his campaign on reforming control of Mongolia's rich natural resources.Final results are not expected until Monday.
Elbegdorj, regarded as a liberal and populist, has said he will work to ensure Mongolia's natural resources are used "to improve the livelihood of the Mongolian people".Mining deal
Though the office of president is largely ceremonial in Mongolia, the contest for the presidency has distracted parliament from work on approving a landmark agreement on investment in the country's mining industry.
One deal involving a major copper and gold project is thought to be worth up to $3bn to the poverty-stricken country's economy.
"I think we should have riots if Enkhbayar wins"
Tseren, a 32-year-old voter
"He did a great job in the past four years and he needs time to finish what he started," he said.
'Fraud and cheating'
But for Tseren, a 32-year-old businesswoman, unrest was a strong possibility.
"I think we should have riots if Enkhbayar wins because he plays a dirty game," she said before voting for Elbegdorj.
"I hate Elbegdorj, but we have to have change."
In an attempt to avoid unrest, the General Election Committee urged the media not to report allegations of fraud.
"The media and television are showing comments from ordinary people and there are many different things being said about fraud and cheating, information that is not confirmed," Namsraijaviin Luvsanjav, the head of the committee, said.Mongolian elections have previously been plagued by claims of fraud and bribery.
In an attempt to prevent electoral fraud, Mongolians were for the first time required to present a special voter card when entering polling booths, as well as their identity documents.

Interpreting a Dictionary Entry
Using a Dictionary
One of the best ways to learn new words is to keep a good dictionary close to your elbow and use it. Sometimes, you can get some idea of the meaning of a new word from its context - how it is used in your reading material. Use context when you can, but be aware that it has its limitations. According to Lee Deighton of Columbia University, using context has the following three limitations:
Your safest bet is to avoid all the guesswork and go straight to your dictionary. As you study, consult your dictionary whenever you come to a word that you don't know precisely. Find the exact meaning you need; then go back to your textbook and reread the paragraph, with the meaning substituted for the word. If you become interested in a particular word, write it on a 3 x 5 card. Later, go back to the dictionary and investigate it. Write its meanings on the card, and keep the card and other like cards to look through and study occasionally. But don't break into your studying for a long session with the dictionary; save that for later.
Follow the example of thousands of successful people. Get yourself a pocket dictionary, and always carry it with you. Its definitions will be terse, consisting mainly of synonyms, but its value lies in its ability to spark a lifelong interest in words as well as increase your vocabulary. Of course, a pocket dictionary is no substitute for a larger, desk-size dictionary; but as a portable learning tool, the pocket dictionary is worth at least its weight in gold.
For your study periods, buy and use the best abridged dictionary that you can afford, but be aware that no word is ever fully defined even by a good abridged dictionary. The dictionary meaning is only an operational meaning that will solve your immediate problem. Words have multiple shades of meaning that add richness to our language. The various shades will become apparent to you as you keep reading, listening, and trying to use words in a variety of contexts.
For intensive word study, however, there is no substitute for an unabridged dictionary. Locate the unabridged dictionaries in your library or resource center and use them to supplement your own abridged desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary gives more definitions, more about the derivations of words, and more on usage. (Pauk, pp. 308 - 309)

Another day, another Capitol Hill sex scandal: On Tuesday, Congressman Mark Souder, a pro-life and pro-abstinence Republican from Indiana, announced that he was resigning after admitting he'd had an affair with a female staffer. The woman in question is Tracy Jackson, a "part-time member" of his staff, Souder said in a statement, who also appears with him in an abstinence-education-themed video that TPMMuckraker posted for our educational enrichment. —KA
Los Angeles Times:
Souder, 59, said in a statement provided by his office that he has "sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff."
He scheduled a news conference in Fort Wayne, Ind., on Tuesday to discuss his decision.
Souder won a bruising Republican primary on May 4 to be nominated for his ninth term representing northeastern Indiana. In his statement, he said would not be a candidate in the fall election.

DALLAS - A man shopping at a Dallas Walmart accidentally pulled the trigger of his gun, injuring himself and two other shoppers.
It happened Tuesday night when 23-year-old Todd Canady reached into his pocket to get his wallet... and mistakenly pulled his trigger, firing his gun.
A bullet grazed Canady's leg before hitting the concrete.
Officers say shards of concrete hit at least one woman and her young daughter.
Police say Canady ran off when an officer tried to talk to him.
He was taken into custody after a short chase.
Police say Canady will likely be charged with injury to a child and evading arrest.
Investigators say none of the victims had life-threatening wounds.
They say Canady did have a license to carry a concealed handgun.

just simple classic elegant
Classic Allure Save the Date Magnets Fast delivery. Excellent quality. Impressed. Everyone we sent out to loved them. It was awesome to see magnets on friends and familys fridge.
Amazing product!!
Whispering Feather Save the Date Magnets All my friends have gotten their Save-The-Dates from magnet street in the past. I found another company that was slightly cheaper and my wedding is on a budget. I spent days editing my previous magnet and when it came it was AWFUL!! It was a horrid print job and the quality of the magnet was so bad! I immediately scraped them and started over with magnet street, who I should have used from the beginning!! I worked for over a week with my designer Lyn, and she was wonderful!! The picture I wanted to use was not in HD so they thought it might print blurry and Lyn worked everyday with me until it was perfect. They even sent me just one magnet so I could see if I liked it before we printed the whole batch. When I finally received my magnets I could not have been happier!! I recently mailed them to our guests and everyone loves them! Thank you so much to Lyn and the magnet street team for turning my nightmare into a dream!
Loved it!
Majestic Connection Save the Date Magnets We were super impressed with the quality and the quick delivery. Our save the dates came in a well organized and aesthetically pleasing box that included a wealth of information for invitations. We haven't started looking for invitations yet but just by the presentation of our save the dates we will definitely look into using MagnetStreet.
It was a beautiful magnet! It was the perfect size!

Question: I noticed that there are back-to-back new episodes of Modern Family this Wednesday night leading up to the premiere of the new musical drama series Nashville, while Suburgatory won't have its season premiere episode until the following week! Why did the TPTB at ABC felt the need to air two new episodes of Modern Family instead of premiering the second season of Suburgatory after MF and before Nashville? Was it because the network believes that two new episodes of MF running back-to-back together can make a more powerful lead-in to the series premiere of Nashville ratings-wise than Suburgatory, or is the network just that plain lazy with their programming schedule? — Chris B
Maybe you've heard lately — possibly in these last two weeks of Olympics force-feeding — that NBC has some new shows coming this fall. One of them starring an old Friend who's fallen on hard sitcom times. (Remember Mr. Sunshine? No?)
Not content to merely barrage us with endless promos and teasers during the Olympics, NBC has now decided to sneak-peek entire pilots of two of its new comedies, commercial-free, beginning tonight with Go On (11/10c), an uneasy collision of snark and sentiment that feels like Community rebooted as a Dear John clone. (Helps if you have a long memory for NBC sitcomedy.)
Leslie Hope has scored the female lead as a wrongfully accused murder-suspect-turned-fugitive's wife in Runaway, the CW pilot being created by Sex and the City's Darren Star.... Dan Castellaneta will play a snippy bank teller on TBS' The Jeff Garlin Project.... Barry Bostwick has joined Fox's The 12th Man.... Kirk! Jere Burns seems to be revisiting Dear John territory as the latest addition to Help Me Help You, an ABC comedy starring Ted Danson as a therapist... Jessy Schram has grabbed the lead and Vanessa Lengies will costar in the CW drama Split Decision.... Rick Peters has come on board CW's untitled Aquaman series.

Clarification of History of First Baptist Church April 24, 2009, publication
Legend has it that Columbia's First Baptist Church narrowly missed being torched by Sherman's troops. As the story goes, the soldiers marched to the church and asked the groundskeeper if he could direct them to the location of the church where the declaration of secession was signed.

Desktop Test System
Since the Watts Up? meters are our new NAS test power measurement tools, we thought it would be appropriate to run some NAS power tests. We're using the Netgear ReadyNAS 516, a six-bay system we recently reviewed.
All three units can record data internally, and the results can be imported to a PC. With the optional Real-Time software (a $72.95 add-on), you can watch the results on your PC as the system records them. For our use, we want as many samples per second as we can get, but all three of the units we're looking at today are limited to one sample per second. The unit actually samples at a rate of 2500 samples per second, but only updates one sample per second. You can set the unit to graph both the minimum and maximum samples collected in a one second period though. This lets us see the initial startup spikes from the HDD motors.
The .Net model adds Ethernet, and several special features that are tucked away, on the Watts Up? website. Via a monthly membership, the .Net can upload data to Watts Up?'s servers. End users log into the site to configure the meter, and download samples, in CSV file format. Watts Up? can also configure the meter to send the data to a FTP, either on your intranet, or on the internet. You just need to ask Watts Up? for the API.
Let's take a look at the three logging formats.

Pictures speak a thousand words - so they say. Click here for a pictorial on how our products work.
You sure can! We offer rings in sizes 5 through 10. We try our very best to accommodate preferred ring size(s), but it is not guaranteed.
The rings you see on our site are for display and presentation purposes - it is not the same ring that is in the product. Rings valued $10 to $7500 are randomly selected for placement.
We have a massive inventory of rings which are placed into our products at random. Therefore, we do not know which of these arbitrary pieces you may receive in your scentsational JewelScent product and cannot make any promises that you may not receive a duplicate jewel. Though we do make best effort to ensure our products have a vast variety of styles that go in them, you might receive the same piece of jewelry more than once.
Normally, your order will be en route to you in 1 to 2 business days (Monday - Friday, excluding holidays). Orders placed after 5pm PST will be processed the next business day. Expect some delays during holidays.
We strive to get your order shipped as quickly as possible. Due to this reason, we are unable to change or cancel an order once it is placed in Pending Fulfillment status.
All of the rings we include in our products are worth anywhere from $10 to $100. If it's valued more than that and up to $7,500, you will find a golden token with a serial number in place of a ring. Your golden token surprise may be a ring, necklace, bracelet or earrings. Contact us with the serial number, and we'll ship out your jewel in a separate package with a certificate of estimated retail value.
In order to ensure that your wick doesn't keep snuffing out, keep your wick trimmed to 1/4 inch. If your wick is too short, it may get drowned out in the pool of melted wax. If your wick is too long, the flames will also be too long and will be more prone to get blown out by a draft.
There may be a few reasons for that:
Nasal Desensitization - When you've had the same candle burning for some time, your nose gets accustomed to it, something also referred to as nasal desensitization. Rotate fragrances every 3 or 4 days. Light another candle with a different scent for a couple of days, then go back to your original candle. Removing yourself from the element and then introducing yourself back into the element will allow your nose to recognize the fragrance again.
Vents - Is your candle burning right underneath an intake vent for a heater or an air conditioner? If so, it may be pulling all fragrance from your candle. The bulk of fragrance gets sucked through the system and filtered out.
Air filtering system – Don't burn your candle next to an air purifier ionizer. Those do a great job at filtering and pulling the candle fragrance out of the air, the same way it pulls smoke out of the air.
It's because there are too many short burns. The rule of thumb is to let the candle burn 1 hour for every inch of diameter across the whole surface. For our candles, dedicate at least 3 hours of burn time or until the wax pool is liquid all the way across the surface. Make sure that you don't keep it burning too long, though. Your wax pool should only be 1/2 inch deep. Also, always make sure to trim your wick to 1/4 inch before every burn. A wick too long may tilt to one side, causing it to only burn the wax on that side. By following these tips, you won't get sinkholes and your candle will not burn unevenly.
Our aroma beads are essentially dry potpourri. Pour some into a glass bowl and use it as a decorative accent. They're also great for use in sachet pouches; throw a pouch in your closet or drawer for some extra freshness.
No, our aroma beads are not the same as bath salts. These plastic beads will not dissolve in running water.
No, our aroma beads are not intended for use with a wax warmer.
Argan oil is produced from the nuts of the Argan tree, which is found in Morocco. The oil found, which contains vitamin E, is best used for moisturizing the skin.

I have to say, without a lie, this is my favourite skirt ever! It matches with everything and is so flattering. I have made it twice now. The instructions are very straight forward. I even made self-covered buttons and they finish it off perfectly. Thanks burdastyle!

well done!!!!!! i love it,very simple and cute

It looks great on you!

It looks fabulous! I wish i had the time to sew at the moment, i'd definitely make this.
May 20, 2008, 10.29 PMby tcarole
This looks great. I think the key is using the same color for the side patches. As much as it is tempting to use a different color, for me… because I have "womanly hips", drawing attention to them isn't what I want to do. I was thinking this skirt wouldn't work for me until I saw this and realized, "duh, I don't have to use contrasting fabric for the hips/pockets." Nice use of restraint in your fabric choices. I wish I could always employ that virtue.

I love this and would love you to post a photo of the other version you made. I really like seeing your work because I'm an at-home Mum to 2 kids as well and wear lots of casual clothes. Its really hard to stay sylish and not look 'Mumsy'! Your clothes are styley and practical and I have to admit to buying Simplicity 4589 after seeing all the variations you made. I'm tempted to make this skirt as well – without being to much of a copycat!

Very beautiful. It suits you perfectly indeed!

I was wondering how it would look in a solid colour. It works very well. Stretch denim looks very comfortable.

I want to make this skirt with a plain colored fabric. I had some doubt but your dress convince me! It's just great! Congrats!

it looks also great with a plain-colored fabric! I think about to make a second one, too :)! Nice work!
