Topekan sentenced after 7th DUI conviction
November 4, 2010
A 27-year-old Topeka man was sentenced to the maximum one year in jail following his seventh DUI offense.
David B. Matthews was sentenced Friday in Leavenworth County District Court. The sentence will run consecutively with two convictions in Shawnee County for a total of two years, where he currently is serving time.
All of his convictions have occurred within the last nine years, with the three most recent convictions occurring with a seven-month period, Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said.
The Leavenworth County conviction stems from an incident Sept. 22, 2009, on Interstate-70 in Leavenworth County. A Kansas Highway Patrol officer clocked Matthews' vehicle traveling 117 mph in a 70 mph zone. Troopers made contact with Matthews and observed a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. Matthews agreed to perform a series of roadside maneuvers, but failed the field tests.
Matthews currently is serving time in Shawnee County Jail, having been sentenced to 1 year in jail for his two prior Driving Under the Influence convictions. Matthews requested the opportunity to be placed on work release while incarcerated. The Court denied his request.

I also mention the moment...what they were in to make me crush on them.
Holy Musical B@man! (2012)
'StarKid are kicking it up a notch!'
Every production gets better and better in standard. From the lighting, to music, to costume. But the very first performance as I can recall from 2009- 'A Very Potter Musical' which takes a friendly and hilarious stab at J K Rowling's Harry Potter, was a brilliant introduction to the team behind the charismatic and overly talented starkid.
'HMB' set the scene in a noir comic book loyal setting. With a spirit- lifting 80s soundtrack. The pace is good, and refined for a contemporary and grown-up audience. The music you will walk around humming to for weeks, and kick-ass characters that you will crush on for years to come. Though the play is missing some familiar faces, you are blinded by the brilliance of others, especially with starkid newcomer 'Jeff Blim' as the Jim Carrey-esque 'Sweet Tooth'- and he certainly makes the character his own.
For those of you who are profoundly disturbed or adore the dynamic but ambiguously gay duo- Batman and Robin, you will take this play like a piece of candy.
Taken (2008)
OMG- If you are a fan of swift justice- watch, but with caution.
Liam Neeson packs a punch- this guy can do everything. This is an incredible film which documents the gruelling lengths a loving and 'specially skilled' father will go through to get their child back safe. It's one of those films you have to watch with caution and with a pinch of salt- the subject matter is dark, one of the darkest I have ever seen. Think of the worse crime in the world, the worse thing you could do- to me this film hit an issue that scares me to no end. You see human trafficking in the newspapers and grit your teeth with anger. This film will give you satisfaction for the violence brought onto the perpetrators.
The flow of the film is good,it sets the characters up quickly, shows the disrupted family unit; the spoiled but loving child, rich (thinks he's god)step-father, and bitch (happy families) mother, and of course...the protagonist; the biological father with a secret past.
The film was a thrill ride the rest of the way through- your suspicions as the film goes along turns to everybody, and following the protagonist 's techniques on tracking is fast, flawless and (how justice should be done)- if they're bad- kill them, if they have answers- torture them...no cushy lawyers necessary.
And we are given a more or less happy ending- to that particular family. But the issues brought up are still out that - pause for thought.
Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981)
What good is a film when all characters are annoying- and all the writers are sex crazed.
Sure it's an 80s movie, but it still has the technical process of the 60s and 70s- plus the shameless over use of slow-mo during all the actions scenes- which would have perked up the movie. There is hardly any new direction in this movie, meaning the actors were told to just play the character how they are written, which fits into every single version ever made of Tarzan - they don't do anything new.
Basically the (male)writers watched and copied every annoying film were there's an annoying damsel in distress who appears inadequate at everything apart from pretending to be virginal while playing hard to get and getting into Tarzan's pants.
Plus despite all the woman has been through she still manages to keep all her make-up on, didn't know they had waterproof mascara in those days.....
Tarzan again is a hairless ape- there's no such thing as facial hair in the jungle it seems.
The father was the best part of the movie apart from when he's made to say erotic things which are later copied by the daughter after all it is an erotic film made by men and for men.
Toast (2010)
Warm, Sweet, but main character lacks like-ability
The film was well paced, the characters were laid out simply. The film is a satisfying drama entwined with a cookery ideas class which will make your mouth water. My only complaint is this may be the only biographical film where you are not keen on the lead character, who can't help but be put across on screen as a stubborn teenager that doesn't think outside the box, he maybe a kid with a set agenda but he never seems grow beyond his character, the only thing that grows is his cooking ability and maybe is sexuality. But he is anything but sweet. Instead he holds a life long grudge against someone who doesn't deserve it.
Tormented (2009)
Weak script and storyline, not much to keep you hooked, easy to follow. A few creeps and laughs. I have no idea what type of audience this is for...maybe for guys who have a kink for school uniforms because they were the most unconvincing bunch of school-kids ever, I hate modified uniforms made to look like they were from a porn movie or St Trinians. And as far as I know thigh high socks,fashion tights, mini skirts and huge earrings are banned from schools...pi-sh, plus the fact they are too old. And probably the first rule when making any sort of film is character sympathy...I didn't warm to any of the characters, apart from Justine(poor girl) so who cares if anything happens to them?
The Guild (2007)
Quite addictive.
For a web series, it's quite addictive. I'd watch one and be thrown into the next episode, then pretty soon the next series.
The Characters are roughly well established, each on a different level of obsession that makes most of them annoying, and at the same time question your own sanity because you are aware you could easily be like them....'due to the fact you watching it online in the seclusion of your own room'
You learn the traits of every character, and find them predictable when it comes to upcoming scenarios...though one character leaves you wondering how the does an attractive trendy person like you end up trapped in your own room?
Two characters you will come across you will take an instant dislike to, immediately (you will know who I mean) But continue to watch to see how others cope with them.
Vexed (2010)
Not to be missed
This show is a gem, though it could easily slip under the radar, with the time and place it's broadcast....so look it up.
The characters are established in the first episode, meaning whose the darker one, or the smarter one. But I can say it doesn't follow that particular formula, they're both relatively smart and witty, and they both can be dark, strangely enough the smarter and moralist one of the pair seems to have a darker side. Though the carefree dumbed-down one is slightly cynical. There partnership can go in any direction which is the appeal with most programmes, though what makes it interesting is they are not two singletons thrown together; one is married and the other single and proud.
The cases though not exactly 'Sherlock calibre' they are smart and flow, and leave me surprised at every new turn....meaning the 'Oh yes...but of course.' moments.
The acting is good, the comedy good, the drama good. The number of episodes.....needs more.
Sherlock (2010)
Pleasantly surprised...and eager.
When I picked up on the trailer, I was at first sceptical, at first glance you see a modern environment and noir looking characters and you wonder will they pull it off or will they have scratched the classic.
Well I'm happy to say I've just finished watching it for the 8th time, and I can't get enough of it, I'm now obsessed. The make over works wonders, it throws you into a classic partnership with a hint of CSI. The characters are well developed, but still have some premise and mystery to keep you questioning, especially Sherlock played by the talented Benedict Cumberbatch who is referred to as a 'Socio-path', which adds more to the lure of the sleuth, not only that but he is damn sexy even if the character is sometimes callous, not to mention the casual dark horse, Martin Freeman....who is growing on me.
It has also allowed me to shine a light on actors I have never paid much attention to before, and I'm so glad it was this programme which introduced me, and knowing that the writers of doctor who were the shippers made it magical!!
I will sleep well tonight.
A Walk in the Clouds (1995)
A story which contains the most beautiful fairy-tale kind of characters such as; a handsome kind hearted soldier, a passionate pretty girl, a stern grumpy father, and a eccentric grandpa. A perfect blend for a spicy and yet slow romance.
I think it is a wonderful film, well sorta a chick flick, men will enjoy it too I suppose, but I suggest the watcher should be patient since it takes Paul (Keanu) the whole of the film to realise what woman he is destined for- for the rest of his life. Also don't get irritated by the coincidental appearance of the mysterious girl, because she is important.

This week the Newton County Water Authority said it wants to sit down with the county and work on a solution to a problem before taking on a new venture. We believe this meeting should happen.
Last week in our editorial about the reappointment for a year of county Attorney Tommy Craig we said that none of the commissioners gave a reason for voting for Craig.
The Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce held its annual year-end banquet this past week.
The Newton County BOC held their first meeting of 2015 last week and among its agenda items was its annual appointments. One of those appointments was that of county attorney, and the reappointment was Tommy Craig.
Last week we were shocked by the violent attack on the office of a French satirical newspaper called Charlie Hebdo.
As we start the New Year we have a major dilemma facing us in in Newton County and that is the future of the Newton Medical Center.
We think it's safe to say that for most people, 2014 was not the best of years. For those of you that it has been good for, we are pleased for you and hope 2015 is even better.
It's hard to believe that we have less than two weeks left until Christmas day … after all we been reminded that it was coming since August at many places.
Last week the Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority stepped up to the plate and hit a home run.
The way we see it there is plenty of blame to go around in regards to the Ferguson issue.

A couple of weeks ago in this space, the editorial board boldly asked County Commissioner J.C. Henderson to resign his post because of his personal/legal problems.
There's been a lot written about blessing counting.
Thanksgiving is almost upon us. Most of us spend the holiday gorging ourselves on turkey, dressing and pecan pie. After we eat, we can curl up by the fireplace and nap to the sweet sounds of football and family laughter.
In a story in Sunday's Covington News, which can be read at CovNews.com, we learned that the leaders of the Newton Chamber of Commerce still were talking to community leaders in order to receive input on the new chamber director's job description.
This month the Covington Fire Department celebrates its 100th birthday; there will be a ceremony at 3 p.m. Nov. 22 - the actual date of CFD's establishment - at the Pace Street Station.
Judges had a tough decision to make this year in selecting the Newton County Teacher of the Year.
Leadership is easy when everyone agrees with you, when money is abundant, and when the decisions you face have simple answers. Real life, however, is seldom that easy. Newton County voters elected five commissioners and me as chairman to serve as the Board of Commissioners to work together as a group to set the policy to lead this great county. My job is to follow that policy in the day-to-day administration.

U.S. Code Title 22, Ch.38, Para. 2656f(d) defines terrorism as:

If convicted, this beast needs swift justice.
As an American, I have the right to be a citizen of America. I have the right to make my own choices too. I also have the right to wake up and go to school and get an education. I get an education because we have freedom. Men and women give their lives every day to fight for our freedom.
Veterans make this country a better place to live. I only wish the veterans that died could see what they did for their country. Armed forces fight together to save and protect this country. These are reasons why I think ...
Wednesday we celebrate Veterans Day. Personally, we think this should be a major holiday right up there with Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey of Marietta and four other republicans introduced a bill this past week that would kick all members of Congress out of the federal employees' health plan and automatically enroll them into any public option program being drafted of any new health care reform plans.
We talked with Wendell Crowe, owner of Covington Ford, this week and are glad we did. A story that Walgreens is interested in purchasing property owned by Crowe family has been circulating around town for a few weeks.
To date, nothing has been finalized. In the meantime, some long-time county residents have been speculating that Covington Ford is either going to move or close. According to Mr. Crowe, the rumor of Covington Ford closing is false, and if the Walgreens story becomes a reality, then Covington Ford would look to relocate in the area.

Globe SP8 Customer Reviews
Product Code: 605-SP8
I have a 20 year old Kitchenaid that has never failed. It makes simple breads and one loaf wonderfully. But when I got into making artisian breads, the old Kitchenaid just walked all over the counter and eventually couldn't fulfill the task. So, I bought a 5Qt Kitcheaid and was disappointed when it stripped its gears making 2 loafs of white bread. Returned it and the second one did the same in 2 months of making bread every weekend. So... I expanded my budget, returned the Kitchenaid for a refund, and set out to get something better. I considered the Hobart 5qt but it was too expensive. So, I got the Globe 8QT and it was a good price and a good size for the kitchen. On receiving, my first batch was 3 loafs of white bread that would have killed the kitchenaid... and the Globe 8Qt largely didn't seem to notice. The motor sounded like it didn't even have anything in the bowl and it plowed through the mixing for 12 minutes without any problems. It never even heated up like the kitchenaid did. It's like having a 450 horse power truck driving on a flat road even when towing a 25000 pound trailer. This thing is perfect for my weekend bread making hobby and the price is right to make it affordable.

NASA wants to send an expedition to Jupiter's moon, Europa, to find the ocean it believes lies under the ice -- and the building blocks for life it thinks it will find there.
We're all about bringing people together during the holidays, but we're not sure UAVs carrying mistletoe around a crowded restaurant (and trying to get people to kiss under it) is the way to do it. Hold the onions and garlic on your orders!
On today's show, we debate the usefulness of drones inside restaurants (especially drones carrying mistletoe), check out Europa in stunning HD, and watch a beloved bacon internet meme come to life via a laser printer hack.
NASA has also released a brand-new video that describes why the icy moon's vast sea might just be the perfect place to find life beyond Earth.
In its latest budget request, the space agency asks for a little coin for a trip to one of the other places in our solar system with the best chance of harboring life.
Jupiter's moon Europa appears to be venting off water vapor plumes that may be connected to a hidden ocean.
A group that calls itself Objective Europa is investigating the feasibility of sending a one-way manned mission to Jupiter's moon Europa.
NASA's VolcanoBot is a brave little machine on wheels that doesn't mind diving into fissures and lava tubes for science.

There has been a fall in the quantum of private equity investment in the real estate sector in the first three quarters of 2012, says the latest investment market report released by real estate consultancy, Cushman & Wakefield, India.
The private equity investment has been recorded at Rs.35 billion which is approximately 15 per cent lower than same period last year and the total number of private equity transactions so far this year stands at 23, marginally lower when compared to the same period last year.
Of the total investment this year so far, the first quarter saw majority of the investments at Rs.21 billion while the remaining two quarters recorded Rs.13.80 billion. While the second and third quarters depict a drop in investment volumes, the real estate sector continues to attract steady investments during the year.
Sanjay Dutt, Executive Managing Director-South Asia, Cushman & Wakefield, feels the reason for the fall in number of deals was mainly due to concerns on the government policy front coupled with an uncertain investment scenario, valuation and continued focus on exits for some vintage funds. "However, recent policy initiatives and opportunities in key markets should turn things around in the coming quarter and make up for the shortfall," he says.
The residential segment witnessed the maximum private equity investments with the share of deals of the total private equity investments increasing by nine per cent in first three quarters of 2012 compared to 2011.
Most of the deals this year were executed through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) in contrast to last year where investments were witnessed in both entity and SPV level as they provide greater transparency and accountability along with ease of exit.
Mumbai continued to be the preferred destination for private equity investments followed closely by Bangalore and the NCR. However, their share had reduced from 84 per cent in the first three quarters of 2011 to 78 per cent in the same period this year. Other cities including Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad have witnessed steady interest from private equity investors, says the Cushman & Wakefield report.

text: My knees hurt. I know its good for you to exercise to be healthy and lose weight. But my knees hurt before I even start. I can do WATP most days. Someday's you can just tell you shouldn't. I just wish it was easier to do other exercises. I don't mind muscle aches. Those are totally different than the pain of what must be pieces of my knees rubbing together. I lost some weight last year and my knees felt better. I haven't gained anything back but they are back to hurting. Stairs are almost always a no no. I can go up and down usually once. After that I'm done. What's interesting is I am on my feet all day since I work in the clothing department of a chain store. Luckily the weight loss means that doesn't hurt anymore. Well I'm done. If anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestions.

0Jul 23, '04 by Hawaii RNThank you for your reply. By now you know Hawaii nurses value their nantional influence - The Amrican Nurses Association. I think CNA is a ....., who found out they they can't strong arm and intimidate nurses in Hawaii.
Just know we did not one thing to manipulate the vote, nothing. CNA was seen for what they are.
I had a conversation with Michael Lighty. I asked him why he was in Hawaii. He said it was CNA's goal to replace The ANA as the nantion voice of nurses (check out their web page www.aarn.org ), which explains why they go after state nursing associations that belong to ANA. There are 200,000 unorganized nurses in california why isn't the CNA spending their member dues organizing in their own state.

reviews & comments (24)
Excellent and very easy. Great do-ahead dessert. I have made this 3 times already and plan on keeping on file. I have received lots of compliments on it, even from those that don't normally comment on what they eat.
To the cook from San Jose...You are stirring half of the hot berry mixture into the bowl that has the yolk and cornstarch. After mixing the yolk, cornstarch and berry mixture together you then stir that back into the other half of the berry mixture that is still in the saucepan.
I haven't made this yet, so this isn't a review. The instructions for making the filling seem to be missing something. What should be done with the other half of the "hot berry mixture" that doesn't get folded into the yolks? When, if ever, does it get added? Please help.

Navajo-Churro sheep
More Information:
- Slow Food USA
- Map of Growers
- Find Growers by State:
Brought into New Mexico's Rio Grande Valley by the Spanish explorers in the 16th Century, the Navajo-Churro sheep breed is North America's earliest domesticated farm animal.
Once numbering two million, the breed was dissipated by a federally-imposed interbreeding initiative and a government-mandated livestock reduction program. By the 1970s, only 450 Navajo-Churro sheep were left in the United States. The Navajo-Churro sheep's meat is lean with distinctive, sweet lamb flavor.
In addition to excellent meat production, these sheep provide abundant milk and have a highly desirable fleece. The sheep is hardy, living lightly on the land and requiring less water and grass than other breeds.

Kinetic Energy Generating Pavegen Floor Tiles Will Harvest Footsteps to Light UK Shopping Center
Posted By Molly Cotter On September 28, 2011 @ 10:38 am In Green Products,Recycled Materials,Renewable Energy | 7 Comments
With nearly 30 million shoppers a year, the Westfield Stratford City Shopping Centre [9] has plenty of foot traffic. The mall plans to install a grid [10] of Pavegens in a main crossing outdoors between the shopping centre and the London Main Stadium [11], which is known as the heaviest trafficked area. Depending on the walkway's [12] use, the grid will work its way up to powering the entire mall's [13] lighting system.
The Pavegen floor tiles flex a slight 5 millimeters when stepped on, capturing kinetic energy [14] which is either stored in lithium polymer batteries [15] beneath its surface or converted into 2.1 watt-hours of electricity [16] and distributed throughout surrounding lights. The center of the tile illuminates [17] when stepped upon, not only informing the passerby of their contribution [18] to the environment but also encouraging the continuation of sustainable awareness [19] and decisions. The first designs were aimed at illuminating small spaces like bus stops [20], ticket machines, refrigerators [21], and shop signs, but with a large number of Pavegens, the possibilities are nearly limitless.
The Pavegen tiles themselves are completely eco-friendly. The entire casing is made of marine grade stainless steel [22] and recycled polymer with low carbon [23] concrete. The top surface is built entirely of old truck tires [24] that are not only a great use of recycled material, but also make the tiles incredibly durable [25] throughout years of weather and wear. Even the manufacturing [26] of the Pavegens is kept within 200 miles of the company's main office, reducing energy wasted through transportation [27]and assembly.
After winning the Big Idea category of the U.K.'s Observer Ethical Awards [28] earlier this year, Kembell-Cook is now in the running to win the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur [29]of 2011 Award which would give him 10,000 ₤ to use towards his invention. Lets hope this will bring Pavegen tiles to the U.S and around the world soon.

A nice mid-afternoon tea is a regular custom in England, but the meal has never been so fashionable as it is at the Berkeley Hotel Prêt-à-Portea. Based on the term "Prêt-à-Porter," meaning "Ready to Wear," the Berkeley Hotel tradition features snacks and desserts that are inspired by the season's latest fashion trends.
This season, the Berkeley Hotel Prêt-à-Portea includes selections like the Victoria Beckham, a peach sponge cake purse with chocolate crocodile print; the Marc Jacobs, a raspberry and lychee jumpsuit adnorned with an over-sized chocolate flower belt; and the Miu Miu, a vanilla bikini biscuit with navy icing and white bow.
The Berkeley Hotel's selection of desserts changes every six months, to go along with the fashion seasons. So as the trends in the fashion capitals change, so do the sweets. Each serving is $58, which is a steal considering you are buying the season's most coveted pieces from the world's top designers.

Sinclair Meadows: Residents Move Into the UK's First Carbon-Negative Street
Posted By Peter Leah On October 8, 2012 @ 1:00 am In Architecture,Green Real Estate,News,Sustainable Building,Urban design,Zero energy | 4 Comments
Each of the buildings at Sinclair Meadows [4] in South Shields [3] has been constructed with natural materials at the forefront, such as timber frames, hemp insulation [6], lime render, and sustainable timber. In addition to creating a solid structure that helps lock in CO2, these materials are largely recyclable or biodegradable if and when the buildings are not in use. The architects have oriented the houses to the south to maximize natural light and allow the sun to heat the interior of buildings. Each roof is also equipped with photovoltaic panels [7], and the electricity demand for the street should be covered on-site. The building feature a high degree of thermal insulation, so their heating requirements should be easily covered by a communal biomass boiler [8] that runs on recycled wood pellets for fuel.
A rainwater harvesting system [9] collects water from all the rooftops and directs it to an underground water tank – and since this is Northern England, they should get enough rainwater to supply each house's requirements for toilet flushing and other water dependent appliances (dishwasher / washing machine) where drinking water isn't essential.
Each resident will have access to and training in operating energy usage monitors for their homes, thus giving them the knowledge to use their energy as efficiently as possible, both reducing energy costs to the residents and helping to ensure the sustainability of the project.
Each house is also allotted an individual garden space that includes a shed and a compost bin [10], so residents have room to literally and metaphorically grow. The houses have also been equipped with birdhouses and bat boxes to encourage the local wildlife to become part of the Sinclair Meadows development.
Interest was high for the initial up-take of these houses, and interestingly, each applicant was interviewed prior to the doors opening to ensure the residents were genuinely interested in the aim of the project. The street boasts 9 three-bedroom houses and 12 two bedroom apartments, and it's the first UK project to surpass the voluntary Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6 [11]. The carbon negative scheme is currently 15% beyond zero carbon.
The first residents are now moving into Sinclair Meadows, and we will keep an eye on its progress as it strives for a high standard of living and a positive impact on the environment in general.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Also, is China paying for all of these? Or are some the ones being built
by vene and russia?
China hasn't really spent much of their stored away cash and is this an
arena they're willing to really spend in?

China to build 9 refining bases in 3 years
Power & Materials 2/26/2009 8:59:00 AM
TOKYO, Feb 26 (KUNA) -- China, the world's No. 2 enegy consumer, plans
to build nine crude oil refining bases in coastal areas during the next
three years, local media reported Thursday, citing the National
Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planning agency.
According to China Knowledge news service, under the country's
petrochemical stimulus plan, three of the new bases, each designed with
refining capacity of 30 million tons of crude oil annually, will be
built in coastal cities of Ningbo, Nanjing and Shanghai.
The other six bases, with annual crude oil refining capacity of 20
million tons each, will be constructed in such as Guangzhou, Quanzhou
and Tianjin. In 2011, China's annual crude oil refining capacity is
expected to total 440 million tons and the total oil reserve capacity to
reach 44.60 million cubic meters, the report said.
In order to meet rising domestic demand for these essential fuels,
besides the construction of large refineries, China will also push for
joint-venture refinery projects with companies from Venezuela, Qatar and
Russia, the state-run China Daily reported last week. (end) mk.bz.

It was but when I went outside this evening to move some of my WS containers into a more safe place I began to wonder if there was something winter like heading our way. Maybe I got a few people to check the weather report in their area and cover a few plants? |

I think your joke backfired, we are "scheduled" to get snow later this week. |

Who knows what's going to happen with Minnesota weather? I still remember Paul Douglas telling me that we could expect 2"-3" of snow after some rain during that last few days of October 1991. I must have scared myself too because I brought in 7 containers of tomatos that I was experimenting with WS'ing. |

We're just hours away from the highly anticipated announcement of the BioWare/LucasArts project most gamers expect to be a Knights of the Old Republic MMO. We here at Massively has been waiting for this day ... oh, for years. More recently, though, we've had some more concrete elements to talk about. Ever since the July confirmation of the project by EA's head, we've been very busy thinking, plotting, and planning. Our own Kyle Horner has explored theorycrafting, wondering about planets that might appear in the game and ways that non-Jedi might counter their force-using fellow players. Craig Withers explored the game's possibilities as well, talking about what he wants to see.
We've also heard quite a bit from you! We've asked you what class you want to play, and what game design components you want to see. We'll finish this quickie wrapup with IGN's "Top Ten Things We All Want to See in a KOTOR MMO", and ask that you come back in about six hours to follow along with Massively's coverage of this fantastic event!

Renewable Energy Law
Elective Course
Assistant Professor Samuel Panarella
2 Credit(s)
Law 678
There is great public, private & academic interest in renewable energy, both as a sustainable alternative to traditional methods of energy generation (e.g., coal & gas) and as a means to strengthen the fortunes of traditionally economically disadvantaged populations (e.g., tribes). This interest is reflected in many tangible ways, including a significant increase over the last decade in energy generated using renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, etc.) and the creation of local, state & federal incentives and tax breaks available to renewable energy developers. Most energy experts agree that we have reached the point where the question is not whether renewable energy will be a part of our country's energy future, but rather how big a part it will be.
Renewable Energy Law examines the legal issues surrounding renewable energy through a practical, project development based approach. The focus is on the role of the renewable energy lawyer in, among other things, negotiating leases and easements for renewable energy development rights on private, public and tribal lands; securing local, state & federal project permits; analyzing and addressing environmental and wildlife impacts; obtaining transmission and interconnection agreements; and securing project financing.
This course is approved for and counts toward completion of the Environmental and Natural Resources Certificate.

In the past week alone, BDN Premium has spoke to Brick Oettinger of Prep Stars, Jason Jordan of ESPN and today we bring our members a chat about Duke Basketball Recruiting with the well known Dave Telep, also of ESPN. BDN Premium has built tremendous relationships on the recruiting trail, where we get out there and work hard, therefore earning respect. The beauty of Blue Devil Nation being an independent site with no affiliation is we can talk to the best of the best. In the past, we have also used Tom Knochalski and others and this is why BDN Premium is known for thinking outside the box and that is what in my opinion, makes our premium section unique. Our work is often copied in style and such, but never duplicated. It's time you tried or came back to BDN Premium to see the quality we offer. In my chat with Telep, we spoke of the Tony Parker situation, 2012 studs, Jabari Parker and Julius Randle and Rasheed Sulaimon. And as always, Telep was spot on. For the record, I have great respect for Dave in that he truly cares for the kid and he's a class act on and off duty. Okay! On to the latest premium offering for members of Blue [private] Devil Nation –
Up next – more on Theo Pinson [/private]

What Can Southern Jews Teach The Rest of Us About Intermarriage and Outreach?
Usually we think of small, southern communities as being at least a beat behind their larger counterparts, especially when they have small—even "diminishing"—Jewish populations. Many of these Jewish communities were once thriving, but they have followed the American trend of younger generations abandoning smaller hometowns for larger urban centers.
These communities may be demographically small, but they should be considered ideologically large in their response to those who have intermarried.
How these communities respond should be instructive to other communities, regardless of size or region. It is true that the intermarriage rate—particularly among non-Orthodox Jews—is among the highest in these communities. Even if there is debate among demographers as to the exact rate of intermarriage, what is most important to consider is the trend lines. That's why the well-practiced response of these communities is so important at a time when the rest of the North American community has finally transcended the question of "Should we reach out to those who have intermarried?" and moved to "How should we reach out to those who have intermarried?"
In a word, the only response of these smaller Southern communities has always been the same: welcome.
To be the most welcoming of communities is the only response possible and that is what these small communities have been doing. The synagogue remains the most numerous of Jewish communal organizations in the United States. In smaller communities, it is often the only Jewish communal institution and serves a multiplicity of functions. That's why its actions are so demonstrative.
How have these Southern Jewish communities led the way? While institutions in other parts of the country are still debating the roles for those of other religious backgrounds in synagogues throughout the country, many in the South have long seen "non-Jewish partners" take on key roles in their communities.
As part of Jewish Outreach Institute's ongoing partnership with the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life, I traveled to Mississippi this past week to serve as faculty at the ISJL's education conference. I was reminded, again, of how many individuals in these Southern communities might not be Jewish—but are undoubtedly contributing to the Jewish future.
Simply by committing to raise Jewish children, they are contributing to our future; but their involvement goes above and beyond that. Southern congregations recognize this, voting with their feet and extending full synagogue membership to non-Jewish partners. These unsung heroes have joined the boards of synagogues, sometimes a thankless task, and have even become board presidents in some places. They are religious school teachers, and some have even become the directors of their town's religious schools.
These partners-of-Jews have cast their lot with the Jewish people. The synagogue has become their spiritual home. We welcome them. We applaud them. And we thank so many in the Southern parts of these United States for leading the way, providing an example for the rest of us to follow.

Southern & Jewish Hospitality
What began years ago has now become a very common event in our Delta community of Greenwood, Mississippi: we host a group from "somewhere else" as they tour the Jewish South.
The groups are diverse, find their way to Greenwood and the South for many different reasons. In recent years, as a Board Member of the ISJL and through my association with Rachel Jarman Myers—this thriving experience has grown and become something I'm proud to be part of with increasing frequency.
This past spring we hosted a number of groups. Two of my favorites were a congregational group from Syracuse, New York, led by Rabbi Daniel Fellman of Temple Concord; the other was The University of Maryland's Hillel organization. The Syracuse group was a warm, enthusiastic community that connected with our own. I received a lovely letter from the rabbi following their visit. Our shared love for our Jewish community was so evident, throughout the visit and in our communication thereafter.
The coordinator for the Hillel group, Amy Weiss, became a great email friend of mine as she planned this wonderful Alternative Spring Break Trip to the Mississippi Delta. Led by Corinne Bernstein, Anna Koozmin, and Noah Stein, a total of 14 young folks flew into Memphis and spent a full week in Mississippi. The trip represented a combination of service, experience, culture, Judaism, and fellowship. Our family farm in Carroll County served as their "base camp," providing a wonderful refuge after each day's service to the community.
The group invited our family and our shul members to Friday night dinner and services at our farm. The evening was just amazing… from the food, the fellowship, the services, and most importantly, sharing Shabbos with our new friends.
T. Mac Howard, founder of Delta Streets Academy, an initiative that identifies and mentors at-risk young African American men, was one of the Hillel group's favorite work sites. An email introduction between T. Mac and Amy parlayed into a working relationship between the two groups.
The school benefited, the Hillel group experienced a component of life most had never seen, and connections were established that will all be for good. It was a win–win, and the perfect Tikkun Olam for the Hillel group.
Greenwood is a natural place to stop because of the amenities available: The 5-star boutique Alluvian Hotel and a variety of restaurant opportunities rival anywhere in the South, and the charm of our small community is unparalleled. Ahavath Rayim, our Greenwood synagogue, was founded in 1907; more than 100 years later, we continue to gather and we fully participate in Jewish life—Delta Style.
In addition to touring our shul, both groups were treated to a "walking tour" of Downtown Greenwood by Dr. Mary Carol Miller, a noted historian and author. Greenwood is surrounded by three rivers and for decades has been known as the Cotton Capital of the World. The Jewish presence in our community is wide-spread.
What's the value of the experience? The values are as diverse as the groups we host.
To understand that a Jewish community does exist in the Jewish South, to experience some of the sites, like the BB King Museum in Indianola, the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, and to visit the offices and meet the staff of the ISJL are all important components of the experience.
What's so special to me is the relationship that we develop with these groups—although some we will never see again, we still form lasting bonds. The understanding and the conversations that we engage in as a result of these encounters are meaningful. To expose our "guests" to the Jewish life we live every day is important. We are unskilled and untrained ambassadors for our Judaism, as we reach out to the predominately non-Jewish world of the South. Hopefully, the "outreach" of these trips in small measure—makes this world a better place.
And if you're interested in your own Southern Jewish Experience trip, contact Rachel Jarman Myers!

The Tupelo Tornado, Temple, and Church: A Story of Friendship
Today's guest post comes from Bob M. Schwartz, a member of Temple B'nai Israel in Tupelo, Mississippi. His thoughts can be found at bobmschwartz.com as well.
On April 28, 2014, a tornado cut a path of destruction through Tupelo, Mississippi. Many buildings were damaged and destroyed. Houses of worship were no exception.
A tree punctured the roof of Temple B'nai Israel. A few blocks away, St. Luke United Methodist Church was hit much worse. Thanks to an outdoor security camera, the world has seen dramatic video of the church playground being blown away. The tornado also tore off the roof of the church's sanctuary.
B'nai Israel missed only one Shabbat service for repairs. At St. Luke, Sunday services for the 800-member congregation were held in the Family Life Center. But many classes and groups had to look for temporary homes elsewhere.
That's where the story of friendship begins- or really, where it continues.
B'nai Israel has been an integral part of the Tupelo community since 1939. It is the center of Jewish life for a broad region stretching all the way into Alabama. When the current building was dedicated in 1957, it was a development supported and celebrated by institutions across northeast Mississippi, including many of the local churches.
Openness has marked the relationship between B'nai Israel and the churches that surround it. So it was natural that when St. Luke Church needed a place for its Sunday School, it would come calling at B'nai Israel. But there is much more to this story than just a convenient location.
Bettye Coggin of St. Luke Church is the primary teacher of what is called the Friendship Sunday School. It is an adult education class that includes about sixty congregants, mostly in their sixties, seventies, and eighties. Three of the couples are "charter members," having been in the class for fifty-two years. That is where the "Friendship" name came from.
In this case, that was not the only friendship that mattered.
George Copen is a past President and current Board member at B'nai Israel. His family came to Tupelo in 1954, where his parents Reuben and Dorothy Copen played a major role in the growth of the congregation. George attended school in Tupelo, and it was there in 8th grade that he first met Bettye Coggin.
Continuity has been until recently a hallmark of Southern life and Southern Jewish life. And even with the increased mobility of the last few decades, Tupelo and other Southern sites still seem to have a hold on the people born or raised there. So maybe it is no surprise after decades that Bettye Coggin and George Copen should still be in Tupelo, worshipping in buildings just a few blocks apart, serving leading roles with their congregations. They also continue to share the principle that in extreme circumstances they should get together to help serve their congregations and their faith.
There are differences in particular beliefs, of course. On the most fundamental of human concerns, though, those differences vanish in the face of need and service. Bettye Coggin points out that current curriculum for the Friendship Sunday School concerns the Old Testament, and studying that inside a Jewish synagogue adds a special dimension to the learning. While these particular lessons may not include Ecclesiastes, part of the biblical Ketuvim (Writings), that book has something appropriate to say:
"Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falls, for he has not another to help him up." (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).
