the 2011 recipient of MLB's Ford C. Frick Award, presented annually for major contributions to baseball broadcasting. Partisan as I may be, I cannot think of anyone more deserving.
Ted and I are both fans of DVH, but in this case we defer to Jonah Keri, who penned a lovely tribute to the man who called Expos games during his youth:
Ted and I are both fans of DVH, but in this case we defer to Jonah Keri, who penned a lovely tribute to the man who called Expos games during his youth:
For as long as I can remember, I had a little radio by my bed. Nearly every night from age 8 through the end of high school, the voice coming out of that radio belonged to Dave. He called the game like a master, showing just the right amount of excitement when a big play happened (take note, Joe Buck) and the right amount of healthy skepticism when a player, manager, umpire or anyone else failed in their duties. He was exciting and informative all at once, the perfect blend for a play-by-play man. Dave's voice carried with it the nightly rhythms of the season, his measured pace carrying me off to sleep even as the Expos toiled deep into the night at Candlestick or Jack Murphy. As hard as it is to do catchphrases well, Dave's were seamless and comforting, like the warm blanket I slid over my shoulders on a cold Montreal April night. "Hi again, everybody. Glad to have you aboard for this game," he'd say at the start of every telecast. Dave wasn't just describing the action. He was inviting us into the booth to sit with him for a few hours, even when he was 2,000 miles away.Read the whole thing here. Here's hoping Jonah gets DVH to appear on his podcast real soon.

THV 11 Video: Horizon Foods Poultry Plant Closes, 200 Jobless
by Lance Turner
Posted 6/6/2013 11:42 am
Updated 2 years ago
Our news partners at THV 11 News reporting last night on the sudden closure this week of the Horizon Foods poultry plant in Pine Bluff, which is leaving 200 people out of work.
According to Max Seigle's report, Jefferson County officials are as shocked as anyone, with voters having approved in 2011 a sales tax increase for economic development efforts that included a $20,000 credit against the purchase of refrigeration equipment for the plant.
Horizon is not commenting on the closure.

England Politics
England is a major constituent of the United Kingdom, the rest of which comprises Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. As such, it is under the basic political system. So, its political structure comprises a constitutional monarchy and a parliament.
Buckinham Palace, London
England last had a government in 1707. However, in that year, the Acts of Union joined England and Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. Since then, England has been ruled directly by the parliament. The House of Commons is the lower house of the British Parliament. This is situated in the Palace of Westminster. The House of Commons comprises 532 Members of Parliament for constituencies in England. The Parliament is run by a Prime Minister.
There are a number of political parties in England, ranging from small minorities focussed on one major issue to large majority-led parties. These include:
• The English Democrats Party
• The Independence Party
• The Conservative Party
• The Pensioners' Party
• The Free England Party
• The England First Party
• The Green Party
• The Labour Party
• The Liberal Democrats
The Church of England is the official Christian church of this country. The power of the church is usually exercised through the Prime Minister. 26 of the 44 diocesan archbishops and bishops sit in the House of Lords.

Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation Enters Into A New $40 Millon Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
FREEHOLD, N.J., June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corp. (NYSE: MNR), today announced that it has renewed and expanded its $20 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which was set to mature in June 2013. The renewed facility is syndicated with two banks led by Capital One, National Association (Capital One) as joint lead arranger, administrative agent and sole bookrunner, and includes Bank of Montreal (BMO) as joint lead arranger and documentation agent. The renewed facility has been increased to $40 million with an accordion feature up to $60 million. The renewed facility matures June 2016, has a one-year extension option, and borrowings under the facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points to 250 basis points depending on the company's leverage ratio. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 185 basis points based on the company's current leverage ratio. The previous $20 million facility did not have an extension option and borrowings bore interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points to 250 basis points depending on the amount drawn down on the facility.
"Our expanded facility at lower cost and up to four years of term enhances our financial flexibility and is a testament to the strength of our balance sheet. In addition, it offers us significant liquidity as we continue to grow our unencumbered property portfolio and pay down higher fixed rate interest mortgage debt which allows us to lower our cost of capital," said Kevin Miller, Chief Financial Officer. "We are very pleased with our long-term relationship with Capital One and BMO and appreciate their continued support."
Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation, founded in 1968 and one of the oldest public equity REITs in the U.S., specializes in net-leased industrial properties subject to long-term leases primarily to investment grade tenants. The Company is a fully integrated and self-managed real estate company, whose property portfolio consists of seventy-three industrial properties and one shopping center located in twenty-six states, containing a total of approximately 9.3 million rentable square feet. In addition, the Company owns a portfolio of REIT securities.

U.S. Motorcycle Maker Takes an Indian Detour
Apple's history is the stuff of investors' dreams and inventors' hopes. From its humble start in a garage in 1976, the company's initial public offering four years later was the biggest since Ford (F) shares started trading in 1956. This year, Apple became the second most valuable company behind Exxon. Today, Apple's (AAPL) must-have devices and broad following among consumers make it a key player in mobile phones, computers, tablets, digital music players, and digital media distribution. It wasn't always so. While the company's early computers, especially the Apple II line, brought the world of personal computing into offices, homes, and schools, there were more than a few bad apples. Even fans groan at the memory of the Pippin and the QuickTake camera. The Apple III and Lisa were personal computer bombs. Apple TV still hasn't quite caught on. Lately, however, the company has made few missteps. Its latest game-changer is the iPad, which made its debut in April 2010. The iPad may end the personal computer era that Steve Jobs helped introduce 30 years ago.

Zagat editor Maureen Giannone recently ventured to Greenwich Village's All'onda, a new restaurant that combines Italian and Japanese cuisines in a unique way.
All'onda22 E. 13th StreetManhattan
Hybrid cuisine took New York City by storm last year, where chefs took their passion for two cultures and married the flavors and styles into one.
And while it may have been thought that it'd all been done, at the brink of this new year the team at All'onda brings passion to the plate with their Japanese-inspired Venetian cuisine in the heart of Greenwich Village on East 13th Street.
"All'onda is a modern Italian restaurant, that's sort of an interpretation of both Chris Cannon and myself's vision of what Italian cuisine can be and will be," said Executive Chef ChrisJaeckle
Jaeckle infuses the menu with inspiration from his travels and culinary background at Tabla, Morimoto and most recently Ai Fiori; crafting these flavors as a true art, with dishes like thetortellini with parmesan dashi.
This dish has notes of Italy in its ricotta dumplings, parmesan, and tomato oil. And then merges nicely with the Japanese dashi broth. It's a dish that showcases the best of both worlds, executing the exact mission of the restaurant.
"Everyone sort of has this stigma that Italian cuisine really needs to be Italian cuisine. Why can't it still be Italian, and be something else?" said Jaeckle. "I think what could make this restaurant special is the fact that I really have a lot of experience with Italian cuisine and Japanese and understand why these things will work together and I think that's what separates this restaurant from a lot of others."

Protosuchus richardsoni (Brown 1933, 1934) Early Jurassic, 1 m. in length, synonym = Archaeosuchus. Protosuchus was derived from a sister to Dromicosuchus and Yonghesuchus.
Distinct from Dromicosuchus, the skull of Protosuchus had a notch between the premaxilla and maxilla for a large dentary tooth insertion. The antorbital fenestra was greatly reduced as were the temporal and mandibular fenestrae. The posterior mandible was deeper.
The cervicals increased in size anteriorly. The scapula was S-shaped. The forelimbs were two-thirds the length of the hind limbs.
The pelvis was relatively small. The pubis was excluded from the acetabulum. A large calcaneal "heel" protruded posteriorly from the tarsus. Such a heel was analogous to similar heels in the dinosaur Poposaurus and the therapsid Chiniquodon. The metatarsals were all nearly the same length.

Early Life
Moore was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, where he attended Benson Polytechnic High School. He went to Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon for two years. In 1998, he transferred to Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and performed for two summers at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. In 2000, he moved to Los Angeles and reunited with his agent from Portland, Rachelle Ryan, who is now a manager in Los Angeles.
Starting his career in commercials, he has been in over 15 nationals (including eBay, Cingular Wireless, and Best Buy). Moore shot an international campaign for a branch of Siemens cell phones, XELIBRI, which won a Lion Award. Moore's most-recognizable roles may be in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Hatchet, Grandma's Boy, Bones and Avatar.
Moore has appeared in nearly a dozen television shows, including: LAX, CSI, The Guardian, Strong Medicine, Six Feet Under, Angel, Providence, Boomtown, Boston Public, and House, and most recently as Colin Fisher, a graduate student on Bones.
Moore's first major film role was in 2004's Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, though he is also known for his supporting role in James Cameron's Avatar (2009), opposite Sigourney Weaver and Sam Worthington. Moore also starred alongside Katy Perry in her music video for "Waking Up in Vegas", made a cameo in the "Beat It" cover video from Fall Out Boy, and co-starred with Katharine McPhee playing her love interest in her music video "It's Not Christmas Without You" for her Christmas album Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You.

Veterans Day History, November 11, 2012
The United States has honored veterans on the 11th of November since 1938. Initially called Armistice Day and recognizing the veterans of World War I, Congress amended the law in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day.
In DoDEA we are blessed with regular opportunities to recognize veterans. Many of our colleagues are veterans. I am thankful for their service both in uniform and at DoDEA. We serve a student population parented entirely by veterans. We are well aware of the challenges our children face as part of military family and are glad to be a part of their support system. Our mission to educate, engage and empower each student to succeed in a dynamic world is our unspoken daily gratitude to the veterans in our community.
There are countless ways that we can observe and celebrate Veterans Day. Take time during the holiday to attend a parade or a ceremony. Visit or make a call to a veteran. Today, we honor veterans of contemporary wars and those that came before that need more than our thanks. Consider using your CFC donation or other mechanism to financially support one of the many efforts designed to support our veterans.
In this week of our presidential election I am mindful of and grateful for the freedom to vote that the veterans of this great nation insured. Please join me in thanking America's veterans for their patriotism, dedication, and sacrifices.

Feline Osteoarthritis – Free Webinar
June 28, 2011 in News by Jonathan (Vetstart Editor)
The Hill's Feline webinar series ended this month with a presentation from Duncan Lascelles, Professor in Small Animal Surgery, delivered from his office at North Carolina State. Studies have identified that in excess of 90 per cent of cats across all age groups have radiographic evidence of degenerative joint disease. This does not always correlate well with clinical signs on examination or the history of the patient. The speaker pointed out that this 'triangle of uncertainty' means that it is not always easy to identify when treatment is likely to have a beneficial effect.
With few licensed products available for cats, the use of physical therapy, diet and weight management are increasingly likely to play an important role in managing the condition. To view the webinar, or any of the other presentations in the Hill's series go to www.thewebinarvet.com/hills-webinars <http://www.thewebinarvet.com/hills-webinars> . A variety of summary sheets and notes are also freely available to download.

I first made these homemade English muffins several years ago and up until recently, hadn't made them since. It's amazing how they look just like an English muffin you'd buy in the store, only they taste 100 times better. When you're ready to eat, split the muffin while warm and top with a little butter and some fresh jam.
Homemade English Muffins
Recipe via Allrecipes.com
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup melted shortening
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Wax paper
1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Let cool until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the milk, yeast mixture, shortening and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add salt and rest of flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Knead. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise.
3. Punch down. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut rounds with biscuit cutter, drinking glass, or empty tuna can. Sprinkle waxed paper with cornmeal and set the rounds on this to rise. Dust tops of muffins with cornmeal also. Cover and let rise 1/2 hour.
4. Heat greased griddle. Cook muffins on griddle about 10 minutes on each side on medium heat. Keep baked muffins in a warm oven until all have been cooked. Allow to cool and place in plastic bags for storage. To use, split and toast. Great with peanut butter, and butter and jam.

Japanese brand Hysteric Glamour got together with Clarks as part of their new Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. They worked on the low top Trek silhouette, giving it a beige suede upper, burned logo details and brown leather heel. We like the beige suede/brown leather combination with Crepe outer sole, but could have lived without the logo treatment.

Manitowoc said today it plans to acquire Enodis plc for approximately $2.1 billion. The acquisition will make Manitowoc one of the global leaders in commercial foodservice appliances.The agreement includes Manitowoc's assumption of Enodis' net debt (approximately $207 million as of Sep. 29, 2007). Manitowoc and Enodis boards both unanimously approved the transaction.The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (Manitowoc, WI, U.S.) has long been a successful player in the cold side of commercial foodservice: ice cube machines, ice/beverage dispensers, and commercial refrigeration equipment. It has also been successful in its two other major businesses: construction cranes and shipbuilding/ship repair.The acquisition of Enodis will considerable broaden Manitowoc's commercial appliance offering, including the addition of several cold-side brands that were formerly Manitowoc competitors.Enodis brands include Cleveland, Convotherm, Delfield, Frymaster, Garland, Icematic, Ice-o-matic, Jackson, Kysor//Warren, Kysor Panel Systems, Lincoln, Merrychef, Scotsman, and Scotsman Beverage Systems. It manufactures foodservice cooking, ovens, storage, preparation, holding, warewashing, ice machine, refrigeration, and beverage equipment for restaurants. It manufactures refrigeration systems, refrigerated display cases, and walk-in cold storage rooms for supermarkets and other retailers. It has production in North America, the United Kingdom, Western Europe, and Asia. It is listed in London and operationally headquartered in Tampa, FL, U.S. Glen E. Tellock, Manitowoc president and CEO, wants to take the company's successful lifting industry growth strategy and apply it to commercial foodservice equipment. "The same elements are in place for this strategy to succeed again - industry leading brands, a global footprint to meet the specific needs of a global customer base, a commitment to technology, new product development, and world-class aftermarket services, all supported by a team of the industry's most talented people," Tellock said. Manitowoc believes integrating Manitowoc and Enodis will provide improved growth prospects and create synergies that are estimated to top $60 million by 2010."We believe the expanded global footprint of the combined businesses creates an outstanding growth platform for Manitowoc Foodservice," said Michael Kachmer, president of Manitowoc Foodservice. "With the world's largest foodservice companies growing at rates well in excess of the overall industry, we should be well-positioned to partner with our customers in creating modern, efficient kitchens that deliver the dining choices that consumers want."The transaction still needs Enodis shareholder approval and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close by the fourth quarter of 2008.

Heading into the weekend I had no idea that I would be going to three--it was a very pleasant surprise after having so many weekends of misinformation, few finds or rain.... in fact my only plan was to go to a sale near Honfleur and if it wasn't good, I could still take a stroll around town because as you know, Honfleur always puts me in a good mood!
But I will try! Je vous promets! Until then a tiny teaser (or two!) Sunday's brocante was near Honfleur in La Riviere Saint Sauveur, and Monday's two were....
Oh, Monday was a holiday here in France--- it was......it was.....? It was August 15th! Of course! You know-that holiday? August 15th? Well who knew! And so there were two wonderful sales on a Monday of all things!... One was a 'secret sale' (unpublished, not advertised....secret----shhhhh!) and the third and final of the weekend was in Villerville, just six minutes down the road!
So there--trois---fabulous! What a marathon to share!
Soon mes amis! Bientôt! Vite! De bonne heure!
Au revoir!

Just like your car needs regular tune-ups to keep it running smoothly, your small business's relationship marketing techniques and customer service isn't something you can "set and forget." These days, customers are pickier than ever, and they have dozens of ways to spread the (bad) news if they're not happy with your service—from Yelp reviews to an outraged tweet. What can you do to make sure your customer service engine is purring like a Ferrari's?
- Staff stuff: Employees make all the difference when customers are choosing between your small business and a big corporation. Be honest: Are your employees up to par? Are they friendly and helpful at all times (no matter what the situation)? Are they up-to-date on the latest industry trends so they can give customers informed advice about what you sell? If your employees fall short, provide the training they need—or consider replacing them.
- Tech tools: Your business needs to be up to snuff with technology for your employees to do their jobs. Do you and your team have the tools you need—whether that's an updated invoicing system so you can quickly access customer records, mobile payment tools like Square so you can take a customer's payment on the spot, or tablet computers to show customers your ideas for their new home renovation? You don't have to jump on every tech trend, but consider which ones will help you provide better customer service and pay off for your business.
- First look: What impression does your business give new customers? Is your location clean, updated and welcoming? If your employees visit customers at their homes or offices, are their service or delivery vehicles well maintained? Do their uniforms convey your brand? If your business looks dingy or outdated, customers aren't going to choose you over the competition.
- Personable policies: Make sure your employees are empowered to make their own decisions about making customers happy. Give them boundaries within which they can decide on their own whether to, say, give an unhappy customer a refund or discount or offer them a free product or service. There's nothing customers hate more than hearing "I have to check with my manager" or "That's not our policy." Today, customers expect the rules to be bent for them—so enable your team to do so.
- Follow their feedback: To maintain your customer service at its best, regularly get feedback from customers, whether by providing physical comment cards at the point of purchase, with the bill or in the invoice. You can also conduct informal polls about service on your social media accounts such as Facebook. Or get more in-depth by using a tool like SurveyMonkey, which lets you create free online surveys. Finally, use Google Alerts to monitor what's said online about your business and spot unhappy customers before their complaints go viral.

Statehouse Report -- making it easier to learn more about state
politics and policy.
By Bill Davis, senior editor
Rep. Tommy Stringer (R-Greenville) chaired an out-of-session ad hoc caucus tax reform committee that put forward seven bills over the last two weeks:
Two of the bills, all of which are part of the GOP caucus agenda, have already cleared House Ways and Means Committee and could be debated on the floor in the next few weeks.
Stringer said the bills would only affect $300 million a year in recurring dollars of the state's $6.5 billion General Fund Budget, which the House passed last week.
House Ways and Means chairman Brian White (R-Anderson) said that packages of bills like Stringers were de rigueur, and they often came out after the House passed budget bill package to the Senate.
Committee work criticized
Democrats and observers have criticized Stringer's work, saying, taken as a whole, it's heavier on cutting taxes than on reforming the state's wonky tax structure.
Stringer this week agreed that only two of the seven "arguably" affected structural changes, the ones that modified tax brackets. The other five bills, Stringer admitted do cut taxes primarily.
One of the most criticized bills, which would raise taxes paid by poorer residents while dropping taxes on businesses and vacation homes, caught the ire of many in the legislature.
But the ire wasn't enough on a Ways and Means subcommittee, chaired by Stringer, which passed it this week.
Stringer argued that increasing the amount of taxes paid by the poorest taxpayers in the state would only happen under the bill once all of the state and federal income tax reductions and exemptions have been paid.
Rep. Karl Allen (D-Greenville) huddled with Stringer on Wednesday in the foyer to House chambers and quizzed him quietly about the first of the bills, H. 4993.
Allen said afterward that he had problems with the property tax exemptions being affected, as he believes counties will have to chose between raising taxes and cutting services, or firing staffers, to offset the potential losses.
Holley Ulbrich, a senior scholar at the Strom Thurmond Institute of Government at Clemson University, where she is also a professor emeritus, said that the GOP agenda showed "they didn't know the difference between 'reform' and 'cutting.'"
Stringer wasn't surprised by the criticism. He said that he would have liked to remove more of the state's estimated $2.7 billion in special interest sales tax exemptions. "But, once you start removing exemptions on daily needs, like food and power and fuel, the bill becomes dead in the water," he said.
Several Democrats agreed with Stringer's assessment, but not for attribution.
Stringer also said that concerns over how much money the state was cutting from local governments through these bills might be ill-founded, as growth in local tax bases could likely cover any state contribution shortfalls.
Stringer claimed that prior to the recession, counties' growth rates were close to 4 percent, and that his proposed reductions would pale in comparison if counties returned to that rate of growth.
Ulbrich praised the call for reinstalling the Joint Taxation Committee, saying that would good for the state. But the economics scholar still worried that the GOP caucus was missing the point of the TRAC commission – to widen the tax base and then lower the tax rate, not just make cuts to revenue streams.
Crystal ball: What was pitched as tax reform has arrived at the plate as little more than election-year posturing. That doesn't mean it won't have legs. Look for the bills, taken in a lump, to sail through Stringer's subcommittee before hitting the floor, where politics may prevail over prudence. But once sent to the Senate, the bills will face stiffer challenges, where members seemed to have better learned the lesson taught by Act 388, which is that everything that makes political sense doesn't always make fiscal sense.Bill Davis is editor of Statehouse Report. He can be reached at: email@example.com.
Debate on the House floor will center next week on a bill that would suspend state unemployment benefits for enrollees failing a drug test.
With Senate Finance budget subcommittee meetings resuming next week, look for debate on the floor to start off light with discussion of a bill that would allow charities to hold raffles and other games of chance for fund-raising purposes. Among next week's meetings:
Word has it that state Sen. Tom Davis (R-Beaufort), joined by other tea party senators, will advocate that the legislature not spend any of the $900 million extra it is estimated to receive in tax revenue collections for the coming fiscal year. The reason? What he sees as the "impending" fiscal collapse of the Obama-led federal government. Look for lots of amendments during budget week in May.
After promising that current employees enrolled in the state's retirement system would not be affected by proposed changes to the state's pension fund, the House this week passed a bill that would require them to pay more toward their retirement, potentially receive less and wait longer to receive retirement benefits.
Supporters of the move, including the bill's spearhead, Rep. Jim Merrill (R-Daniel Island), said something major had to be done to correct looming deficits. Critics like House Minority Leader Harry Ott (D-St. Matthews), tried unsuccessfully to protect as many enrollees, which include teachers and cops in addition to state employees, from the changes. The bill heads next to the Senate.
Board of Economic Advisors does nothing. Whew.
In contrast with quarterly meetings of the past few years, when big cuts and money shuffling was the norm, the state Board of Economic Advisors took no action in their meeting this week. Why is that good news? Because it didn't have to. Most of the state's economic indicators are unchanged or improved from the month before, which points to more recovery for the state's economy. Whew. For now.
Senate budget schedule
Here is the Senate Budget schedule for the rest of the session:
By Andy Brack, editor and publisher
MARCH 23, 2012 -- A generation of South Carolinians -- maybe two -- have grown up without knowing much about a home-grown civil rights hero with a national reputation. It's high time they did.
Meet U.S. District Judge J. Waties Waring (1880-1968), a native son who called for the crippling shackles of segregation to be stripped from South Carolina at a time when blacks and whites had to drink from different water fountains.
To say that Judge Waring, an eighth-generation Charlestonian, was unpopular among the white elite in the late 1940s through the day he retired in 1952 is an whopping understatement. And at a time when South Carolina had two school systems perpetuated by the Jim Crow deceit of "separate but equal," what got them most was that one of their own jumped ship to do what was right by treating blacks as Americans, not inferiors.
Waring started breaking from traditional rulings a couple of years after he became a federal judge in 1942. He first gained mainstream attention in 1947 and the considerable ire of state leaders when he ordered the S.C. Democratic Party, the only real political party at the time, to stop its white-only primary and let black South Carolinians cast ballots in it. That decision, along with another the following year, offered a realistic opportunity for South Carolina's blacks to vote. Thousands did in August 1948.
But the case that put Waring in the history books involved segregated schools in Summerton where 46 black minors and 22 adults brought a case in 1947 seeking bus transportation. After the NAACP took the case two years later, it made its way to a three-judge federal court panel that included Waring.
Portrait of Judge J. Waties Waring that hangs today in the federal courthouse in Charleston, S.C.
In a blistering 21-page dissent that supported the Clarendon County plaintiffs in Briggs v. Elliott, Waring castigated so-called "separate but equal" schools prevalent throughout the South for generations. The Constitution, he explained, clearly outlined how equal treatment under the law -- not just for white citizens -- was a fundamental right and that separate was not equal. He wrote in June 1951:
"I am of the opinion that all of the legal guideposts, expert testimony, common sense and reason point unerringly to the conclusion that the system of segregation adopted and practiced in the State of South Carolina must go and must go now. Segregation is per se inequality."
"I am of the opinion that all of the legal guideposts, expert testimony, common sense and reason point unerringly to the conclusion that the system of segregation adopted and practiced in the State of South Carolina must go and must go now. Segregation is per se inequality."
Waring's opinion didn't prevail, but it did send more shockwaves throughout white South Carolina. By December 1952, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on whether school segregation was a constitutional violation. It combined five similar cases in that hearing, including an appeal of the Briggs decision by the NAACP and its lawyer, Thurgood Marshall. The resulting ruling in the combined case of Brown v. Board of Education unanimously outlawed school segregation, just as Waring concluded in his 1951 dissent.
"He made history in that decision," observed retired U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings, reportedly the last living lawyer who attended the oral arguments in the Washington courtroom in 1952. Last year in an article in the National Law Review, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Gergel of Charleston and Hofstra law professor Leon Friedman observed that Waring's dissent was the first since the "separate but equal ruling" in which "a federal judge concluded that racial segregation was incompatible with the American Constitution."
Sixty years have passed since Waring resigned his Charleston judgeship at age 71 to move to New York, never to return to his home state while alive.
Today, a move is afoot among leading attorneys of the state to memorialize Waring with a statue on the grounds of the federal courthouse in Charleston where the judge held court and, coincidentally, is just a block from where he lived. They're talking with sculptors and starting to raise money to install the statue, perhaps as early as next year.
Good. It's about time. We need more Waties Warings today. Regardless of your political persuasion, the judge had the courage to protect democracy and freedom in the midst of scorn, ostracism, closed-mindedness and duplicity. Most of our current leaders could learn a thing or two from Waring's example.

Other senators had similar experiences, so in 1971 and 1973 we limited spending in campaigns so public office couldn't be bought. Strom Thurmond and I were limited to so much per registered voter—a total of $687,000. The Supreme Court in Buckley v. Valeo equated speech with money, reversing the law, and for 35 years Congresses have attempted in various ways to limit spending in campaigns. But on appeals, the Supreme Court gets worse and worse, recently giving corporations speech or unlimited spending in political campaigns.
Now public office is up for sale. The President, the Congress, Republicans and Democrats—Washington all enjoys it. Washington spends half its time fundraising. We used to hate filibusters. The cots would come out with many a sleepless night. Today in filibusters, one Senator on each side of the aisle holds the floor and the Senate goes to California to fundraise. The media goes to Burning Tree for a round of golf. It's a disgrace.
When I came to the Senate in 1966, six Republicans and six Democrats got together every Wednesday night. The designated wife arranged dinner, ties off, and we became friends—even giving a Senator from the other party a vote. No more. One morning my staff told me about a fundraiser for my opponent downtown: "All the Republicans on your Committee were there except for Senator Stevens."
I was surprised. I learned in World War II that if you looked out for your men, they would look out for you. As chairman of the Commerce Committee, if a Republican missed an important vote, I would put the vote again and let the Republican vote. When I heard all the Republicans except Stevens wanted to get rid of me, I wanted to get rid of them. Both sides are constantly raising money against each other. You help Democratic colleagues for five years and they help you when your time is up. You've got to be a horse's ass, not to fall in line and be partisan.
"The people need to take back their government. Do it the way Congress did in 1973—pass a law limiting spending in campaigns, but first amend the Constitution to get by the Supreme Court.
"The amendment: 'The Congress shall have the power to regulate or control contributions and spending in federal elections.'"
Today the people have lost control of their government to the lobbyists. Instead of senators from opposite parties getting together once a week, lobbyists drink together every night. Everybody knows everybody's business. Each lobbyist knows the lobbyist who can persuade a certain senator. Important votes are fixed regardless of public sentiment. The special interests control.
The people need to take back their government. Do it the way Congress did in 1973—pass a law limiting spending in campaigns, but first amend the Constitution to get by the Supreme Court.
The amendment: "The Congress shall have the power to regulate or control contributions and spending in federal elections." James Madison never thought his freeing of speech would be limited, or speech taken away from the poor. Five of the last six amendments to the Constitution deal with elections. This is more important than any of the five.
As senator, I introduced this amendment and received a bipartisan majority vote but not the two-thirds required for a Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution. The Governors' Conference called and asked that I add the states to my amendment. The states would easily ratify. This Constitutional amendment does not commit to any solution. It only authorizes a later Congress to determine the limits. The able senator from New Mexico Tom Udall has proposed this amendment but is having trouble getting it considered. Washington doesn't mind the office being for sale because they are in the best position to buy it. Pressure from the public would help.
To be elected the seventh time to the U.S. Senate in 1998, I had to raise and spend $8.5 million. This factors out to raising $30,000 a week, each week, every week for six years. Today it would take millions more. I used to go through the courthouse and fire stations campaigning. Now all I see is supporters at fundraisers.
Today the public servant never gets a feel for the public. When money is limited, the senator will know the public and have time to work for the country instead of the party. When money is limited, partisanship is limited and the office can't be bought. When money is limited, lobbyists are limited and the people regain control of their government.

Haley. A circuit court judge this week dismissed a lawsuit filed against Gov. Nikki Haley that claimed she had worked as a lobbyist while serving in the state House of Representatives – not because of the merit of the charges, but because the judge ruled it was the wrong venue. Haley may not be out of the woods. Now the charges, brought by a former GOP head of the BEA, goes to the State Ethics Commission, which hastened Ken Ard's departure from office. More.

Until now, Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, has resolutely refused all negotiations with Israel until it stops building Jewish settlements for 12 months, including in East Jerusalem.
But Abbas seems to have lowered his ceiling of demands for resuming peace talks with Israel under the current situation.
He told a British newspaper that he would return to direct talks if Israel halted building for three months.
He repeated his new position at a press conference in Berlin, adding that he was also against armed resistance.
But why is Abbas backtracking now? And will it get results?

Angèle Dubeau a pris des risques certains ces dernières années en matière de répertoire, avec des CD monographiques consacrés à John Adams, Phil Glass et Arvo Pärt, juste après un disque pour violon seul, discipline austère s'il en est. C'était sans doute un exercice et une stimulation nécessaires afin de ne pas s'enliser, avec La Pietà , dans un profil ronronnant d'«entertainer musical» à la André Rieu. Avec ce disque panaché de musiques de films (Titanic, Danse avec les loups, Cinema paradiso, Le patient anglais), Angèle Dubeau et La Pietà vont retrouver leur public au sens le plus large. Ceci posé, même dans le crossover il y a des projets bien ficelés et il y a la «soupe». Récemment, Un air d'hiver de Marc Hervieux tenait du bouillon, servi avec la soupière. Tout au contraire, Silence, on joue! est un CD fignolé et d'une irréprochable intégrité musicale. On peut être «grand public» et «classieux».
Christophe Huss -- Le Devoir, January 27, 2012
From the Artist
I have chosen musical moments that speak to me, film music that is particularly appealing, and great musical pieces that inspire images.
My relationship to this music is not the kind chosen by composers, who have created emotions that are attached to images, to a reality conceived for film. Rather, I was inspired by pure music, ignoring conveyed images, and taking it elsewhere in order to recreate my own musical universe. What I feel when I play these works comes from the music, and my approach has been comparable in all respects to the one I favour when working on my repertoire. That is why pieces that are first of all functional go beyond their role by defying time and, breaking out of their framework, become masterpieces.
With great pleasure, I have fashioned the orchestral sound of La Pietà work by work in order to communicate sound palettes specific to each, by integrating in the different sections of the ensemble the colours and textures that blend with my solo playing. I have opted for long, generous phrases, in which the grain of the bow is perceptible and the chords vibrate with such osmosis that the number of musicians is multiplied rather than added. Such are the natural harmonies of our instruments that they become an exponential equation.
I have always loved conveying the complete spectrum of sounds my violin offers. Sometimes you will hear my violin whisper, as if it were divulging a secret. I have also explored my vibrato, which at times allows for a roundness of tone that is characteristic of my style, and at others, by its near absence, creates a sought-after emotional sensitivity. Here and there I have added sometimes generous glissandi, but also barely perceptible, subtle inflections, like a gentle caress.
I have made my selection by way of music, a choice that was built up over many years, as much through the memory of a melody already heard as through the discovery of heart-winning favourites.
For a long time some of the composers presented here have drawn my attention, for example E. W. Korngold, whose Concerto for Violin I am especially fond of, but to whom we also owe grand symphonic works for film, which have inspired many others.
I cannot forget Joe Hisaishi, with whom I had the pleasure of touring in Japan. To perform in 14 large concert halls, including the famous Tokyo Opera, and to share the stage with him during five weeks while playing his compositions can only establish strong links. Whether playing familiar or new works, I easily imagine myself playing at his side.
Ennio Morricone remains my number one melodist. Time and again I hold back a nostalgic tear when I play his music, as my violin finds the phrase and vibrates along with ease.
"Smile", the theme from Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, is presented here in an adaptation by Claus Ogermann, its essential elements transmitted in a language stripped of artifice, with jazzy colours. It has held a truly special place in my heart ever since I first heard it.
My recollection of Memoirs of a Geisha is of course filled with images, but it is while listening to Itzhak Perlman's violin that I began to dream of playing this melody by John Williams.
My Heart Will Go On remains a magnificent song, and like all Quebecois, I feel a touch of pride when I think of the great achievements of our Celine. Here, I asked Claude "Mégo" Lemay, a musician I respect and who, having been on stage with her so often as pianist and music director, knows the world of Celine Dion musically better than anyone else.
Through the years, I have played and recorded other great film scores, all irresistible, which have accompanied me on stage, all over the world. As a bonus to this album, you will find these unforgettable masterworks associated with film: Joe Hisaishi's Princess Mononoke, Stanley Myers' The Deer Hunter, my friend François Dompierre's A Fairy Tale, John Williams' Schindler's List, and Ennio Morricone's The Mission.
For 35 years now, I have been sharing my passion and enjoying what is for me one of the most beautiful professions in the world. Without language barriers, I have been able to travel in more than 40 countries and have made my instrument sing, cry and dance. I have always thought that the violin was capable of transmitting the whole range of human emotions, as is the case here with this collection of musical treasures from the seventh art. The music speaks, no need for images. I suggest that you offer yourself this gift and attach your own images overflowing with memories.

Twitter co-founder and San Francisco resident Evan Williams wants to raze the home he purchased with his wife in 2011 in the affluent Parnassus Heights neighborhood. But neighbors, citing the home's possible historic roots, are circling petitions to stop the demolition: The home was designed by Arts and Crafts–era architect Louis Christian Mullgardt.
Still determined to preserve the house, some 300 neighbors wrote to the city planning department. As Philip Ferrato reports in Curbed San Francisco, "Most objectors bemoaned the loss of an 'historic' house they'd obviously never seen, and many cited Evan Williams's vast wealth as a founder of Twitter as the real problem."
A historical evaluation of the house, commissioned by the Williams family, states that the structure is ineligible for the California Register of Historical Resources due to extensive renovations made during the 1970s. But opponents of the move aren't deterred.
Suddenly it's become a NIMBY showdown: On one side there are the neighbors, reluctant to alter the history of the street, and on the other side is one of the city's newest celebrities, ready to make his mark. A famed architect's legacy, which is quickly disappearing, hangs in the mix.
Mullgardt was a prominent name in the area at the turn of the century. His work in cities such as Chicago, Boston, London, and finally San Francisco won him an appointment to the Architectural Board of the Panama Pacific International Exposition in 1912. He designed the first purpose-built de Young Museum in San Francisco, completed in 1919. The museum underwent several rounds of renovations over the years before it was badly damaged by an earthquake in 1989. Eventually the museum's board determined it was best to start over from scratch. The Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron designed the new building, which opened in 2005, and closed the door on yet another chapter of Mullgardt's legacy in the city.
Mullgardt enjoyed a few more years of noteworthy commissions, including The Knoll at Stanford University, which was built in 1918. (That building was also badly damaged by an earthquake in 1986 and was only completely restored in 2005.) His luck took a final turn for the worse following the country's entry into World War I. He couldn't find work, his son died in an airplane accident, and his wife of 32 years divorced him, according to a report by the San Francisco Heritage. Mullgardt died in 1941 in the pauper's ward at the State Hospital in Stockton, Calif.

OSG does not do _face_ culling (culling of individual primitives) based on the normal. However, OSG can do _Drawable_ culling based on a normal. This is how VPB databases cull away the back half of the planet. There is a custom cull callback (in osgTerrain, I think) that does this. You need to explicitly attach it; OSG doesn't use it by default. -Paul

Are you registering at more than 1 place? I was thinking of doing the typical Babies R Us - but then an online place as well - I really like some things at www.babyearth.com they have some products from fisher price that aren't available at babies r us. Do you think it's obnoxious to register at 2 places?
Babies R' US and I can't pick between Walmart or Target. The reason is I grew up in a very small town and the closest Babies R' US is almost 2 hours away. So the only thing in town is a Walmart... no let me correct myself, two Walmarts. And one K-mart. Target is 30mins away.?
Any ideas on that??
I didn't want to do Tgt because of their aweful return policy and the issues I had with wedding gifts, but DH insisted. BRU is about 20 minutes away from any of his family and he doesn't think they'll shop there. Seriously? 20 minutes is too far???
Anyway, I now plan to do BRU for sure and maybe Tgt, but I like Pottery Barn Kids, too (instead of Tgt). I just don't know if anyone will shop there.

When is an f-word uttered on broadcast TV not obscene? Apparently, when it's uttered in passing by a rock star during an acceptance speech at an awards show. So it seemed in a ruling issued Monday by the Federal Communications Commission in response to complaints about last January's Golden Globes, in which Bono described U2's win in the Best Original Song From a Film category as ''f---in' brilliant.''
The Irish singer's enthusiasm over his band's victory (for ''The Hands That Built America,'' from ''Gangs of New York'') didn't provide an obscene context for Bono's ''fleeting and isolated'' use of the curse word, the FCC ruled. ''The word 'f---ing' my be crude and offensive, but, in the context presented here, did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities," the benchmark for an indecency violation. "Rather, the performer used the word 'f---ing' as an adjective or expletive to emphasize an exclamation. Indeed, in similar circumstances, we have found that offensive language used as an insult rather than as a description of sexual or excretory activities or organs is not within the scope of the commission's prohibition of indecent program content.''
Actually, it wasn't Bono, who's dropped the occasional four-letter word on live awards shows before, who was the target of the FCC probe, but NBC and its affiliate stations that aired the Golden Globes. Most of the more than 200 complaints about the incident were lodged by media watchdog group the Parents Television Council and individuals associated with the PTC, the Associated Press reports.
''It's not shocking to us on the FCC decision because they're a toothless lion,'' said PTC spokesperson Lara Mahaney, who said her group would appeal the ruling. ''They don't take indecency seriously, and that's why you see it proliferating on the broadcast airwaves.'' How about if Bono, after his next awards show appearance, agrees to wash his mouth out with soap?
