A few 35mm film titles from the G. William Jones Film and Video Collection are traveling this month. Tracked by Bloodhounds or A Lynching in Cripple Creek (Harry Buckwalter, Wm. Selig, 1904) is showing in a program devoted to Selig pictures at the venerable Giornate del Cinema Muto (The Pordenone Silent Film Festival). Tracked by Bloodhounds is part of the Sulphur Springs Collection of Pre-Nickelodeon Films, most of which can be viewed online.
The Blood of Jesus (Spencer Williams, 1941), one of the most popular Jones Collection titles, will be shown at the Indiana University Cinema later this month. The Indiana University Bloomington is the home of our good colleagues at the Black Film Center/Archive. In conjunction with the screening of The Blood of Jesus, there will be a lecture by Jacqueline Stewart, an expert on the work of Spencer Williams.
Another of our most important films will be returning home this month after a long, interesting trip. Almost a year ago, it was arranged that the Jones Collection would loan its rare, tinted, nitrate print of The Pleasure Garden (Alfred Hitchcock, 1926) to the British Film Institute to be considered for inclusion in a project to restore the surviving silent Hitchcock films. Here is a photo of the print comparison in progress. We now know that the project was successful and that SMU is getting on-screen credit for providing one of the four original prints that were used in the restoration. Opportunities for seeing the restored film may come up later in this academic year.
This exhibition results from a seminar in Renaissance Technology for the Art History graduate students in the Rhetorics of Art, Space and Culture (RASC/a) program, and has evolved into a collaborative effort between RASC/a, DeGolyer Library, and the Blaffer Foundation at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The exhibition examines the dissemination of ideas and knowledge through the advancement of print and book production, and includes six fifteenth- and sixteenth-century books as well as the eighteen plates of Stradanus's Nova Reperta (New Discoveries). These important engravings feature important discoveries and inventions made before 1600. In conjunction with this event, Dr. James Clifton of the Blaffer Foundation will give a lecture the first week of October on the Nova Reperta series. This exhibition is co-curated by two second-year RASC/a graduate students, Emily Anderson and Sarah Foltz.
Hamon recently received a small but focused collection of books on Latin American art from John Lunsford, former curator of the Dallas Museum of Art and former Adjunct Associate Professor in Art History at SMU. Most of these books are in English or Spanish, and several are on colonial Latin American art and architecture, and Indian art and artifacts. To browse these books in the library catalog, please see this list of titles. Below is a selection of them.
Caso, Alfonso. La cerámica de Monte Albán. NK4032.P8 C28 1967, Hamon
In the early twentieth century, Caso did extensive archaeological research on the pre-Columbian site, Monte Albán, in the Valley of Oaxaca in southern Mexico and on the Zapotec culture. This book highlights ceramic works from this site.
Kennedy Troya, Alexandra and Alfonso Ortiz Crespo. Convento de San Diego de Quito : historia y restauración. BX2573.Q576 K46 1982, Hamon
This convent in Quito was built by the Franciscan monks in the 17th-century baroque style. In addition to giving the history of this convent, the authors of this book also include chapters on the architecture, and the colonial painting and sculpture in the collection.
Moya Rubio, Víctor José. La vivienda indígena de México y del mundo. F1219.3.D9 M69 1984, Hamon
Moya Rubo examines several types of Indian dwellings in Mexico. In his discussion of the architecture, he provides information on materials, plans and elevations.
The Tyler, Texas Black Film Collection was featured on WFAA's Good Morning Texas program this week. Film and Media Arts professor Rick Worland answered questions about this varied group of films, which were made in the 30s, 40s, and 50s for black audiences in segregated theaters.

The Division of Film and Media Arts will screen five 16mm prints from the Jones Film and Video Collection over the next few weeks.
All screenings are open to the public. They will be held in the Greer Garson Theatre, Rm. 3527, at 7:00 PM, and admission is free. For more information, call 214-768-2129.
The program is subject to change, but the scheduled titles are:

- February 16: Mr. Hulot's Holiday (1955, Jacques Tati)
- February 23: The 400 Blows (1959, Francois Truffaut)

Please join us this Friday, January 27, at 6:00 p.m. for the reception for our current exhibit in the Hawn Gallery: Archive of Shadows by Andrew Douglas Underwood.
Dallas-based artist Andrew Douglas Underwood presents his second solo exhibition, Archive of Shadows. His research-based artistic practice explores historic vignettes, examines the notion of perfection, and questions the possibility of objectivity. The museum-esque presentation of the work intrinsically implies, "The mementos collected here are of historic significance." Also, like a museum, the act of collecting naturally integrates with a practice of creating archives of information. Where this collection diverges from the institutional and the quantitative is in the emotional reaction to the vignettes. For those willing to slow down and engage with the work, the reward is an involvement with a romantic moment from history.
This past December, art work by Jerry Bywaters was donated to SMU's Meadows Museum by his daughter Jerry Bywaters Cochran (view the press release). This gift of paintings, pastels, prints, and watercolors, along with the Jerry Bywaters Collection on Art of the Southwest housed in the Hamon Arts Library, will make SMU the major repository of research materials and art work by Jerry Bywaters for future scholars and researchers interested in the art of the region.
In addition to her gift to the Meadows Museum, Mrs. Cochran also donated the Jerry Bywaters Cochran family papers to SMU which will become part of the existing Bywaters Collection in the Hamon Library.
At the Hamon Arts Library, we are constantly discovering new treasures. Recently, during our daily adventures we re-discovered something that our patrons may consider very valuable. It is our outside book drop. It is rarely seen and rarely used, but we would like to change that.
The outside book drop is available for those times when you have an item to return and the library is closed. It is located just outside the doors facing Hillcrest Drive on the west side of the Owen Arts Center building.
We have posted a new sign on the door at the library entrance containing a map that gives directions to outside bookdrop, should visit us at a time when we are closed and as an added benefit we have inserted the map into this blog, so that you may view it at anytime.
Our regular hours of operation while classes are in session are Monday through Thursday, 8 am–12 am; Friday, 8 am–6 pm; Saturday, 9 am–5 pm and Sunday, 1 pm–12 am. For exeptions to these hours, please visit http//smu.edu/cul/hamon/.

Yea the patriots and their gonna be 6-2 record and all their super bowls have a real black eye......
All of that was before this. And irrelevant to the situation.
When something like this happens, it changes the way your front office thinks. It changes perspectives. I doubt the pats will draft anyone in a long time that has a checkered past.
Some people have this thing called self-respect and morals. Just because you have scumbags on your team doesn't mean you're going to win a damn thing (bengals, rams). It's better to build with a singular identity. And fill your locker room with like minded people.

Jean White-sponsored bill proposes keeping federal mineral lease money in communities
Updated February 28, 2012 at 3:14 p.m.
Senate Bill 31 introduced by state Sen. Jean White, R-Hayden, unanimously passed the Senate on Monday.
According to a news release from the Colorado Republican Party, the bill would allow cash-strapped communities to keep the full amount of federal mineral lease payments due to them.
"The federal government owns more than half of the land in my district. It is critical that communities maximize the federal payments they are owed," said White, whose district includes Routt and Moffat counties. "This money will be especially beneficial to communities that have been negatively impacted by the current economy."
Counties currently receive only a portion of FML payments.
Under White's bill, counties may choose to form FML districts, which would be independent of the county and would be solely responsible for receiving and distributing all FML funds.
FML payments are a portion of revenue collected from mineral extraction on federally owned land. The money is usually used to fund local schools, road construction and fire and police services.
S.B. 31 now heads to the House for consideration.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Tough-talking UFC president Dana White is widely considered the MVP of his sport
Polite and cautious are not part of Dana White's act. He runs right up to reckless before easing off the verbal gas and keeping him and his sport out of trouble.
"It's f ing mayhem," answered UFC president White to a question put his way regarding a programming issue he's trying to fix.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman would have shook his head and sidestepped the query. NFL boss Roger Goodell would have glazed his audience over with legalese. Baseball's Bud Selig would have pretended he didn't hear the question. David Stern would have grown angry and had an NBA press secretary chastise the reporter.
Not White. Part of his allure is his unwillingness to charm anyone.
"Who gives a s ," said White when asked about one card or another having limited star power. "Either you're a fight fan or you're not. I'm the kind of guy if there's a fight on TV, I'm gonna sit down and watch it. If you don't like it, no one asked you to buy it. Don't bitch about it."
Tough talk, but from the man operating a virtual pay-per-view powerhouse, the words ring true. White knows his product is top notch and his fans will watch it because, regardless of the names, his cards provide action.
"In 13 years of doing this I can count on one hand the cards that have sucked," said White. "Our guys deliver. Our fans know what they're going to get. The greatest show in sports entertainment."
White was in town Thursday to host a press conference for UFC 161, set to go in Winnipeg Saturday night. Dressed in T-shirt and jeans, he stepped out on the stage of a downtown club and waded into a mixture of regular MMA media and the local set getting their first taste of his rap.
White was immediately at ease and took questions for close to two hours without once ducking a query or disrespecting his audience. He's a media-made creature and he knows it. He may be the best-known sports executive in the world and he has no interest in alienating or pandering.
"A suit never made anyone any smarter," said White. "I don't like wearing them. I grew up watching sports figures or heads of leagues and every time they'd come out and talk, they'd be reading canned statements written by lawyers. That's not me. Since Day 1 when we bought this company, I've been an open book. I've been open with the media and had my good and bad but it's always been honest. I don't ever not tell you what I'm thinking. I just gave you three dates that I probably shouldn't have. PR is going to be pissed off. But if you talk to me I'm going to tell you what I have to say and what I think. I'm definitely not reckless but I'm not careful."
White was working in MMA as a manager when he heard the former owners of UFC were looking to sell. He put together a group with childhood friend Lorenzo Fertitta, whose family owned Station Casinos. Fertitta and his older brother Frank bought the UFC, with White installed as its president.
Former CFL commissioner and Canadian head of the UFC Tom Wright describes the 46-year-old White as the "most street smart person I've ever met."
"We talk about how this sport is as real as it gets and Dana is as real a commissioner as you can find," said Wright. "He will tell you what he thinks and to your face. He's the most accessible commissioner in sport.
"He's the face of the sport and the fans and fighters respect him. He's a no bull - guy. I'll ramble a bit. When I was commissioner of the CFL, if a referee blew a call, you'd stand up for them and say they're human or whatever. In our sport, because the officials are third party, if they make a bad call, Dana will say, 'That's the stupidest call I've ever seen.' Every fan knows and appreciates, Dana will provide honesty."
White arrives at every card early and sits quietly with his social media staff and scours Twitter and the blogosphere for commentary on his event. Sometimes it angers him and sometimes it promotes action.
"If you come at me on Twitter with something stupid, get ready because I'm coming back at you," said White. "But if I see something that's wrong, I can fix it. We sold some seats at a venue that were blocked by TV equipment. We were able to move an entire section to different seats and save their experience. The fans of our sport believe they have a say in what we do and that their voices are heard."
Veteran UFC combatant Dan Henderson says White is the most valuable person in the sport.
"As a fighter, some of the things he's done you might not like but there's no questioning he's grown it and taken it to places no one else has," said Henderson. "The fighters respect him and believe he's doing what's right for the sport. You may not always like him or what he's doing, but he's trying to grow the sport and that's the most important thing you can ask of him."
Since White says he doesn't hold back and doesn't pull his punches, it was necessary to put him to the test. He delivered, promising before his first Winnipeg fight even began, that there would be another.
"We're coming back. Absolutely," said White. "We'll be back. We sold out and set a record. This is a great market. We're gonna put on a show like no one has ever seen before. People are going to leave this building saying, "Goddam, what a show."
Sort of like what people are left saying walking out of a Dana White media session.

How To Grow Your Masculine Balls Back Part 3
By ANGE FONCE
I will start this article with a story.
Open, Carry, Kill!
She stood by the sink, struggling with a jam jar. I noticed, walked over, took it gently from her hands and with a soft, sharp pulse, loosened the top... and for this, she kissed me.
Women speak with their bodies better than we do, and what she was saying was...
"I'm glad you're here." And… "I'm glad you are a man." "I love men" "I feel taken care of." "I feel complemented and completed and safe."
To us, doltish men that we are, it was just a stupid jar... yet it is in the smallest gestures of service that we often make our value felt.
Whenever I am asked to open a jar, carry a heavy box or kill a mosquito, I marvel at the subtle dynamics that go on between the masculine and feminine.
No matter how competent, strong or professional a woman may be, there is always a subtle sexual gratitude that happens in these moments - as if for a moment, we are quietly returned to our core sexual essences.
Male - Female... Masculine - Feminine.
Now, here is where it gets fun and more interesting... women like to joke about it, that this exactly what men are good for... opening, carrying and killing.
So, recently, I found myself wrapping my arms around a woman who said this, looking into her eyes and reframing her comment...
"That's right. I'm here to open your life to new experiences. I'm here to carry your burdens when you need a strong shoulder. And I'm here to help you kill your little self so you can live as the fullest, most expansive and loving self possible."
Her whole body relaxed into mine as she seemed to breathe out a lifetime of burden.
"I like that," she cooed.
And (you will not be surprised here) – I liked THAT.
Raise your expectations of the gifts you bring women, and they will see you with a more deeply appreciative eye.
We, as men ARE here to serve the feminine open... to allow them to open into the love that they really are, providing them a rock of trustability and steadiness... we allow them to open into new adventures by being a guide, by living boldly and by making the world safe before them.
We carry their burdens — which may seem so heavy to them, and so momentary and light to us (especially when they feel socially slighted by another, or unloved in some way)... when we are doing our job right, we bring them back to their core worth.
Yes, mosquitoes... and when we are living with enough breadth and perspective and depth, if we are bigger than the moment's concerns, bigger than the immediate circumstance, bigger than our own piddling little egos and out momentary needs - when we kill the smallness in ourselves, we give life to the breadth and joy of our women.

I know what this means: "To pay one debt by incurring another" or other variants of it, but where did the saying come from. I'm not aware of any biblical instance of this.
Deep down I want this to somehow involve Peter, Paul and Mary... :)
The origin comes from the Peter tax and the Paul tax: The Peter tax referred to the tax that people had to pay to fund the building of St. Peter's Church, while the Paul tax referred to the tax that the people had to pay to fund the building of St. Paul's Cathedral. When the idiom says "rob", it takes that if you don't pay a tax, you are robbing a person (pope, in this case) of what that person rightfully deserves. Thus, the saying means, not paying the Peter tax in order to pay the Paul tax. |
We don't normally like to give links to other resources as StackExchange answers but I think you'll struggle to find a more comprehensive answer than this one: In essence the expression is very old, possibly dating to around 1380, but there is ongoing discussion around why the names Peter and Paul were chosen. |

After several chats, calls, escalations, and emails, I had been unsuccessful in getting my limit on my Capital One Platinum Rewards Card raised. The two most common responses have been that this card has a 3k max (mine is 3500) or that Capital One is not doing increases at this time.
I decided to see if the social team could get me anywhere with this. I posted on their facebook wall and received a femail giving me the social team's email contact info. After trying that, I got an email response asking for zip code, etc. presumabley so they could identify my account. Then nothing. After a week or so, I emailed them again to see if they got my message, and they replied that they had tried to call and left a message. No, they didn't.
Today I received a call from someone who identified herself as a representative of Capital One and referenced the email. When I said, Oh, you must be from the social team she kind of laughed, and said "yeah", as if she were just a regular rep following up on a referral from them. Don't get me wrong, she was very nice, but obviously not a special section of customer service.
She thanked me for contacting them and told me "it's nothing against you, but Capital One is just not doing increases right now. Capital One has always been kind of conservative like that." and "feel free to check back again" as they may do them in the future.
Despite very low expectations going into this, they still managed to disappoint me. Nice.
Cap1 is as constant as the Northern Star... You can always count on a NO from them.

What a contrast compared to other companies. When I was denied for Sapphire Preferred from Chase last February, I called for recon and got a completely different level of help.
The recon rep went over my report with me, and explained what the specitfic issues were she had with my report; mainly that I had so much new credit. She said that she would really like me to wait until all of my accounts were over a year old so that I could show how I handled the new levels of credit before they were comfortable giving me another card. At that time I had several credit cards and a car loan all in the past 6 months. I am considering re-applying in March. By then I will have all but one inquiry off of my score, and all credit cards over a year of history. The only new account will be the car loan from June.
That's a "no" that I can live with. The whole "computer says no, I don't know why" thing from Cap 1 is frustrating.
I wish I would know this forum earlier then cap can kiss my ........dusty lol

Just bought a '01 PreRunner and it had the factory VIP installed with glass break sensor. Of course I didn't get the remotes with it(dealer purchase). So I bought the correct part # remote from ebay. I used the reprogramming proceedures I found on this site but when the system is supposed to chip and lock/unlock the doors 2, 3 or 4 times at the end of the instructions it only chirps once. I tried for about 30 minutes with no luck. I found the brain and pushed the green button on the side and the light for the system on the dash blinks so I know it is getting power and the remote light flashes when I push the lock/unlock button. The system does not arm even when I use the key to lock the doors. Any ideas?
I'm about ready to take'er to the dealer. ARGHHH

Jessica Alba, Taylor Swift and 5 More Reasons to Ditch the Dress for Printed Pants: Trendspotting (GALLERY)
Printed pants are trending in a big way without any sign of abating. What started as an extension of the colored denim trend has gone viral -- spreading from nine-to-five trousers to after-five pants and beyond.
Fashion A-listers, from Olivia Palermo and Jessica Alba to Kristen Stewart and model Coco Rocha, have all swapped last season's printed skirts and frocks for fall's trendy trousers.
And we've got five more reasons why you should jump on the printed pants bandwagon too -- plus, how to style every iteration of the busy bottoms, for just about every occasion.
1. They're just as versatile as that printed dress. While prints can be hard to pull off -- especially on pants, which are tricky to begin with -- this trend is far more wearable than you might think. Whether you're headed to the office, a holiday party, or the movies, we've rounded up our favorite print-loving trendsetters to show you how to pull off work patterned pants with panache.
2. There's a style for every occasion and body. Rather than just being for girls with the stems for skinnies or the height for wide-leg styles, this season's pants are far more democratic. Prints are popping up on just about every pant styles, from ankle-length skinnies and tailored trousers to breezy (read: loose) palazzo-like pants. In other words, there's a printed pair to flatter every shape and size.
3. There's a print for every style, too. Unlike the prints du jour of the past, this trend isn't limited to just one or two patterns. Just about every design is fair game: florals, stripes, zigzags, foils, paisley. The key is knowing what to pair with your print-of-choice, so we've rounded up your favorite style setters to show you how to pull off the hottest printed pant styles and patterns.
4. They're a run-free alternative to the whole skirts and tights deal. Printed pants are the easiest way to add flair to your winter wardrobe without sacrificing warmth. Plus, they're more unexpected than a floral skirt or paisley dress.5. Printed pants are popping up in every price range. From Balenciaga to TopShop, you won't have any trouble finding a pair to fit your budget. For trendier designs, like paisley or florals, H&M and TopShop have chic but cheap options, and Palermo and Alba are fans of printed tuxedo trousers from Narciso Rodriguez' new line for Kohl's. But not all printed pants have a short lifespan: Prada and Michael Kors turned out pairs that will make a stylish statement for years to come, as did Banana Republic, J. Crew, and Kate Spade.
So what are you waiting for? Click through our gallery to get ideas and tips for pulling off printed pants no matter where you're headed -- then take this trend for a spin.
Now find out how to accessorize those printed pants with our fall fashion trends round-up for The Daily Buzz.

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has found a feverfew variety that dries whiter than others. The varieties I've grown dry to a brownish color that I don't like. If I dry them in water,as one site suggested, they are whiter, but it's more trouble to do them that way. Has anyone tried the 'Virgo' variety? Thanks for any help. |

We've grown both Tetra White and Virgo. Virgo may dry just a bit whiter than Tetra, but for us both are more a creamy white than a pure or silvery white -- but not what we'd call brown. The flower heads on Virgo are larger, but there are fewer of them per stem and the stems are shorter and the plants don't seem as vigorous overall, but we haven't grown it as long or tried as many things with it yet. Our best luck so far has been when I've started seeds in the summer, planted out in the later summer. I did that year before last. Then the plants (Tetra) took off the following spring and give us our first harvest of the year, then kept going. We'll see if those plants continue to produce well this year. I suspect they won't, so I started another batch of seeds last summer and put them in a different spot. If the original batch comes on strong, that will be fine, if not, I'll rip them out and replace them. We've got some Virgo overwintering, as well, and will see if they are more productive in their second year. We don't dry these in water. We hang them upside down in the loft of our barn, where it gets pretty hot and things dry quickly even when it's fairly humid. |
Thank you for your help, Neil. I'm not sure why my feverfew is turning so dark. I knew they were supposed to be a creamy instead of a stark white, but mine are similar to the color of tea-dyed linen, which looks dingy and unattractive. They start out creamy, but gradually get darker. They're stored in an attic, which is dry & warm. I tried ordering from suppliers to see what theirs looked like-1 bunch was even darker than mine, another was a creamy off-white. I'll try varieties you mentioned, and see if there's a difference. I really need them because there's not that many other white-cream fillers, and they hold up so well. Also, they were one of the few plants that kept going last year in the horrible drought we had. |
- Posted by neil_allen z5/6 Chi IL (My Page) on Mon, Mar 3, 08 at 12:00
Another thing to try is Ammobium alatum -- winged everlasting. It has a ring of very double "ray flowers" (that may be bracts) and a yellow center and it's about the size of feverfew. There's usually just one or two flowers per stem, but the plants start producing early and continue all summer. The white dries really white and stays white for a long time, ageing to cream. If you pick early, the yellow center isn't exposed, but the overall effect isn't bad even if the center goes past yellow to a dull gray. The dwarfish "Bikini" variety has been the most widely available but even it seems to have disappeared from a lot of catalogs. J.L. Hudson has the regular variety, though, and that's what I've grown. |
- Posted by neil_allen z5/6 Chi IL (My Page) on Thu, Jun 19, 08 at 12:09
We're harvesting feverfew and other things now, and I've had a chance to look at some of our older things and have to amend what I first wrote. First, setting out young plants one summer or fall for harvest the next year seems to be the way to go, but the plants do not come back reliably the next year. They behave more like biennials than perennials. Second, Virgo actually dries to a creamier color than Tetra White, which starts off as a quite white dried flower, but does turn to beige in the course of a year. Alternate white fillers, in addition to ammobium, are achillea and statice. Nurseries usually sell colored forms of A. millefolium these days, but the wild type is easy to transplant (and potentially invasive). Also expansive in the garden is A. ptamica, "The Pearl," which has small, tight heads (but a lot of them) vs. the broad heads of regular white yarrow. "Iceberg" is a white Statice sinuata (Limonium sinuatum) in the Pacific series available from Stokes that is a very useful filler -- so useful, that I order twice as many seeds as of the various colors offered. "German statice" -- Goniolimon tartaricum -- is nice, but I have difficulty keeping the plants alive for many seasons, and they're slow to start from seed. |
Thank you for the update, Neil. I was pleasantly surprised that all but a few of my feverfews came back this spring, after a drought last summer and too much rain this spring. I've noticed that the feverfew I dried in water last year retained its whiteness for a pretty long time, but eventually turned the same color as the air-dried ones, so doing them that way probably isn't worth the trouble. I like A. "The Pearl", too, but the feverfew is a little sturdier. German statice didn't do well here, either-glad to know it's not just me. Thanks again for your input. Sylvie |

I purchased this rug for my kids bedroom. The color green reflected on-line is true to the actual carpet. I thought there would be more variation in the shades of green but there isn�t - it is pretty much the same shade throughout. I am happy with the rug, but honestly I don't love it.
I dawdled over ordering this for many months because I worried that the color would be different than what I saw on the Internet. I finally clicked to purchase and am VERY happy with my lovely, elegant new rug at such a fantastic price.
I bought this rug in 8x10 to replace our existing 5x8 version. It looked to be the same rug, which was a light sage green, but when this one arrived, it is definitely more of a pea green - especially in the day light... so unfortunately it just does not match the rest of our decor. The overall quality is pretty good, especially for the price - it's nice & thick, but not the softest rug I've encountered. I actually like that it's a consistent color but has some pattern/texture with the square design vs. just a plain solid color rug. Unfortunately I have to return the rug due to the color. As a disclaimer I do feel I should mention that we have new energy efficient windows that have a slightly green tint to them & that could effect the color a bit... Bottom line is if you are looking for more of a pea green then this is a good choice, but if you are looking for a sage green, I'd keep looking!

TELL CITY – Improvements to Indiana 66 between Cannelton and Tell City projected for 2011 has been delayed until 2016, according to a document provided by Alvin Evans, who said it may not occur at all.
The president of J.H. Rudolph and Co. and of the Perry County Port Authority was fielding a question from The News after a special meeting Monday of the latter body when he reported the delay.
"Essentially it's being scrapped because there's no money after 2013," he said, "but (officially) it's delayed until 2016."
PERRY COUNTY – Ranking high in statewide statistics can be a blessing or a curse. To Lincoln Hills Development Corp. employees Jan Sprinkle and Christal Moskos, Perry County's standing in the percentage of expectant women who smoke is a lot like an ashtray.
It stinks.
A 2006 study ranked the county second in the state in the percentage of pregnant women who admitted smoking. A 2007 study pegged the percentage at 47 percent, behind only LaGrange and Washington counties.
INDIANAPOLIS — Here are some statistics about the effects of smoking on pregnant women and their unborn children.
• In the United States, more than 20 percent of women smoke. However, only 9 percent of women in underdeveloped countries smoke.
• If all the pregnant women in the U.S. stopped smoking, there would be about an 11-percent reduction in stillbirths and 5-percent reduction in newborn deaths.
• Smoking doubles a woman's risk of having a low birth weight baby and preterm deliveries.
TELL CITY – Four police officers, three from Tell City and one from Cannelton, received Meritorious Service Awards Monday for actions Tell City's police chief said stopped a man's plans to commit murder.
Tell City Police Department Sgt. Lynn Wooldridge, Cpl. Marty Haughee and Patrolman Roger Smith were honored before the city's board of public works and safety, as was John Kleeman, a reserve police officer in Cannelton and a former Tell City reservist.
CANNELTON – Cannelton fifth-grade teacher Joan Goble routinely helps bring credit to her school by leading media-club members to earn awards for the research-based Web sites they produce. An award presented Nov. 9 was all about her.
"I'm very proud of the fact I've got to know her," Schools Superintendent Al Chapman said in presenting the John and Marilyn Connelly Award to Goble. "She has done an outstanding job and we're blessed to have her."
CANNELTON – A Cannelton dentist arrested Nov. 6 after allegedly pointing a handgun at several children who pounded on his door and then fled was released from jail last week and faces only two of the 18 charges originally leveled against him.
Formal criminal charges were filed Thursday against Dr. Joseph P. Walker, 55, of 8 Pleasant Valley. He faces a Class D felony charge of pointing a firearm and a Class A misdemeanor count of carrying a handgun without a license.
TELL CITY - Members of the Perry County Library Board gathered Nov. 4 for their monthly meeting at the Tell City-Perry County Public Library. Among the items addressed, the board discussed a need to update the library's circulation system.
Library Director Larry Oathout explained to members that the library's current system has some limitations and the company "has pretty much stop updating it."
TELL CITY – According to Mike Davis, fire-program manager for the Hoosier National Forest, three controlled burns are planned for the forest in mid- to late November.
One of the burns, about 100 acres in size, is planned in the German Ridge area of Perry County.
For more information, contact Davis at 547-9247 or Franklin Lograsso, public affairs officer for the forest, at (812) 276-4758.
TELL CITY – The Perry County Council of Agencies office has moved locations. The center is now located at the corner of Ninth and Blum streets. Hours are 9 a.m. to noon Monday and Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Tuesday.
JASPER — German American Bancorp announced this week that it is uniting all banking, insurance and investment offices under the common name German American. Under this change, First State Bank and First State Insurance – acquired by German American in 1994 and 2009, respectively – will be adopting the German American brand.

By Kevin L. Johnston: At the Pontiac Silverdome this Saturday one of my favorite fighters, Timothy Desert Storm Bradley, squares off in a battle against up and comer Devon Alexander The Great. On the line will be the WBO and WBC light welterweight titles, and perhaps more importantly, pride. Both fighters are undefeated and looking to stake their claim as ruler of the 140 lb division. The winner of this fight might be in line for a huge pay day against Amir Khan, or possibly even pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao. Pac Mans team recently made it clear that Manny will no longer be moving up in weight, so any top contender in the 140-147 pound range is fair game. The winner of the Bradley-Alexander fight could land a mega PPV fight with either of the aforementioned pugilists, both of whom have huge followings which generally equates to glorious PPV numbers. So how will this fight pan out and who appears to have the edge? Personally, I love Bradleys style even though he probably doesnt appeal to most casual boxing fans.. Most casual fans of the sport only want to see guys with power who are capable of dropping their opponents in a crumpled heap on the canvas with one punch. If a poetic observer described this bout as a gun fight, Bradley probably wouldnt even be bringing a knife to it; rather, a flyswatter. The man simply lacks power. Casual fight fans like to see Howitzers, not Super Soakers. But what Bradley lacks in power he makes up for with his throwback style and sheer determination. His ring generalship is excellent and he possesses all the intangibles you want to see in a true champion. Hes technically sound, fast as lightning, has an impressive ring IQ, and punches effectively in combinations. Bradleys chin is sturdy but not granite. In his last fight against Kendall Holt he was dropped twice, but neither knockdown had him severely hurt or wobbly. Both were basically flash knockdowns where he was caught a little off balance and got hit with a flush shot from a guy with a ton of power. He clearly out boxed Holt throughout the fight and won a decisive unanimous decision. Devon Alexanders style presents such a stark contrast to Bradleys which is what should make this a very entertaining fight. Alexander has what casual fight fans adore: power and chin. His back has never touched the canvas and he has solid power in both hands. He is undefeated, although he was the recipient of a somewhat lucky decision in his last fight. Alexander struggled to adapt to a game Andriy Kotelnik but received a hometown decision victory in August of 2010. His struggles in that fight are the main reason why I think hell have his hands full against Timothy Bradley. Bradley is extremely versatile while Alexander is more of a one trick pony. Bradley can mix it up from the outside and the inside even though hes only about 56″. He is smart enough to adapt to his opponents and is tough as nails. Bradley has the edge in speed, technique, experience, mental & physical toughness, ring generalship, and pretty much any intangible you can think of. Alexander has the edge in power and chin only. From a gambling perspective, I like my man Desert Storm to win by decision. I would advocate betting on the Over for the Over/Under Round Prop option, but there is some very heavy juice you must lay on the Over so its not worth it. Bradley doesnt have the power to KO Alexander, so unless Alexander quits on his stool or suffers a fluke cut above his eye it looks like this one is destined for the cards. Alexanders best chance to win this bout is via KO, but given the fact that Bradley has already stood up to some of the biggest punchers in the division I dont foresee Desert Storm succumbing to the power of Alexander. I guess we shall find out this Saturday night on HBO when these 2 undefeated warriors clash in the Mitten. Kevin L.

I have been enjoying Hudson for over 40 years. My parents bought the lot from my aunt and uncle and then when both my parents passed away I bought it from my brothers and built a house here. I love the water and exploring all depths of it in and around where we are. I drive all our boats, fish, love to ski, sun and just hang out on the islands all day. I have 4 children that love the water as much as I do and 5 grandkids that are beginning to feel the same way...a couple are still a little young. I used to teach physical education, but now I am enjoying living in Hudson making beach crafts in my garage and selling them in my driveway. Also looking for new ideas...bring them with you if you have any please.
Kaye Williams purchased this mobile home in 2008
The rental is right next door to my home. I have a pool that my guests are welcome to use.
There are numerous places to eat in walking distance to my place. There is an ice cream shop a block away that has karoke a couple nights a week. The beach is a block away. Two of the eating establishments on my road has live entertainment for dancing if you feel the urge. There are marinas a block either way where you can rent boats, go charter fishing or you can just take my kayak out and fish the flats yourself. I also provide charters in my boats. You are only 15 minutes from a Casino gambling boat and about 1 hour away from Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa as well as Busch Gardens/Adventure Island. Orlando with all its attractions are about 2 hours away. Anclote Key is about a 30 minute drive in the boat and Caladesi Island (was ranked #1 beach in US) is about an hour away by boat or you can drive to Dunedin or Honeymoon Island and take a ferry boat there as well. There is just so much to do in Florida and we are centrally located smack dab in the middle just about. Scalloping is allowed from July through September north of Aripeka.

Welcome to our condo. We love it so much down here, and we have just the right spot. So come relax in our beautifully decorated condo. And make yourself at home.
We chose Horizon South for its community feel within, its location, and all its ammenities. Very vibrant and relaxed, the best of both worlds.
We're in the front and still in a central location! A short walk to be able to enjoy the sugar white beaches and the beautiful clear emerald green water, where you can see your feet. Florida sunshine. All worth it. You're closer to the front, a short walk to the beach, and you're still close-by and centralized to the main pools, tennis courts, clubhouse, and shuffleboard.
Our condo is beautifully decorated and is a large 1 bedroom and 1.5 bathroom condo.
Bedroom: 1 Queen and 1 Double.
Hallway: 2 Bunks.
Living Room: 1 Queen Sleeper Sofa.
There's also an additional sofa in the living room, 2 sofas total. It has a large kitchen, one of its many big pluses.
It's very roomie inside. You'll have no trouble relaxing. And feel free to step out on the patio for the sunset. It holds an open view, open sky, and many palm trees, which makes it nice and relaxing out on the patio.
Less than 10 minutes from the Frank Brown Park baseball and softball fields, Pier Park, and the Pier. As close as it gets. Pier Park has everything you need.
We are in the front of the complex, just a few steps away from the beach, one of the closer units to the beach.
A lot to offer. Enjoy the beach, stay in and relax, sit out by the pool, or venture out shopping down at Pier Park. You cannot get a better location.
No better stress reliever. No better way to relax. No plans here. You're on 'Beach Time'.
Keywords: Horizon South, Condo, Beach, Panama City Beach, Pier Park, Frank Brown Park Baseball and Softball fields, Travel Ball, Sharky's, Tiki Bar, Summer Getaway
We grew up in South Alabama, made those every-weekend trips back and forth, and call Panama City Beach our second home. We love this condo. You will, too. We are an ex-military family that has been around the world and back. And we came back home just to be back by the beach again.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2012
Located front central within the complex. This makes for a closer, easy walk to the beach being in the front. However, it's still central to the main pools, shuffleboard, putt putt, tennis courts, basketball court, and clubhouse with pool tables and an exercise facility. And there's also what I call a quiet pool just a few steps to your left. In other words, this is the perfect location. We looked at several. It has an open feel inside and out. Large kitchen. Comfortable. Makes it very easy to sleep-in through the mornings.
Front central location within the complex. Closer to and a very easy walk to the beach. Has an open feel inside and out. Large kitchen. Both a queen bed and a double bed in the back bedroom.
Great location. Considered the most sought after quiet end of the beach. Pier Park! Less than 10 minutes, one of the closer locations, from Pier Park for shopping, from the Pier for fishing, and from Frank Brown Park baseball and softball fields, where travel ball teams play year round. Great location.

Faith in Older People (FiOP) is a Scottish National Charity based in Edinburgh. Its focus is on 'spirituality and ageing'. We define spirituality as 'that which gives meaning and purpose to our lives'.
Research and practical action has evidenced that the spiritual dimension is of great importance as we age. This is a time when we come to terms with issues that matter towards the end of our lives. It guides the achievement of person-centred care by understanding the inner person and their values, and to take this as the starting point for caring practice.
Enabling a better understanding of the importance of the spiritual dimension to the well-being of older people
Our Aims
to educate, encourage and support volunteers, health and social care workers, members of faith communities and other agencies to increase their understanding of spiritual care and issues around ageing.
to deliver events, courses and materials to meet identified need.
to continue to build the capacity and efficiency of the organisation.
The concept of spirituality is difficult to understand although there is an increasing acknowledgement that it plays an important part in our lives. There are two approaches to the definition of spirituality; both acknowledge a search for meaning. For some people a divine presence is central; for others spirituality is a secular concept involving inner life and personal belief.
Five ways of thinking about spirituality as:

A group of Southern Baptists say recent stories about heaven may not be biblically accurate.
At annual Southern Baptist Convention, the delegation from Baltimore introduced a resolution calling on their LifeWay Christian Stores to stop selling the book "Heaven Is for Real."
The best-selling book and film depicts a 4-year-old's account of heaven and meeting Jesus.
Southern Baptist leaders says people can be led astray by popular books and movies that include personal testimonies that cannot be corroborated and often conflict with what the Bible teaches.
Because "the doctrines of the afterlife are critical to a full understanding of salvation and repentance," Southern Baptists "reaffirm the sufficiency of biblical revelation over subjective experiential explanations to guide one's understanding of the truth about heaven and hell," the June 10 resolution states.
Charisma News reports that despite concerns over its biblical accuracy, LifeWay will continue to carry the book.

Amazing Board
Words can't describe how satisfied iam with this board. By far the best board ive ever owned. Nothing but amazing. If you want a quality snowboard, DC is the way to go.
You should really angle your bindings dude, looks like you have em at 0º and 0º try 15º and -15º or 15º an -12º or sumthing. It'll prolly help your riding alot
yah i ride 15, -15 they call it duck stance i believe, once u get use to it u will never go back! Also whats the difference in the core and regular model of this board? is it just the graphic or what? seems like the base is different
sorry not the base, the actually core materials i ment

I am hosting a luncheon. I have never had a luncheon. I've done dinner parties and parties of 100 people. But, not a luncheon in the middle of the day.
I have a group of women ages 28 to 60. What time is a luncheon normally? Noon? I am conflicted on my menu. I have tons of ideas but need it to pull together. So I thought I would do tomaote pie (which is border line quiche)
I could add this southwestern cheesecake that I have. Dessert I was going to do lemon squares and fruit tarts. Bite sized. Wine, lemonade, water and iced tea to drink. What would you suggest for my menu? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I belong to a club that meets for lunch monthly at 11:30, and another meets at noon for a glass of wine and the luncheon is served at 1:00 or 1:15. ( manily because about 1/2 of the group comes late. I have had more bridal luncheons that I can count and the time is usually meet at noon and sit down to eat at 1:00. A luncheon is usually a set table and plated dishes. I would doi the chicken salad OR the tomato pie, not both. and serve it on a plate ( duh!!) with a serving of the salad you mentioned and either a few bits of juillienned carrots or a wedge of melon and a few berries or a couple of slices of tomato and some grated cheese on it....just a little decorative "something". Then serve your scones in a basket at the table and for dessert I would not do the bite sized stuff, but serve one of each on a plate with the coffee....or serve an individual lemon tart....the kind that are 4 inches...or pie....or a brownie and ice cream... For a luncheon years ago I served cold cucumber soup and then a salad nicoise with a popover and cake for dessert. Another time I served chiucken salad on a lettuce leaf, with melon and raspberries on the side, several different kinds of breads and rhubarb crisp for dessert. Don't make it too much. Linda C |

I just had a bridal luncheon on Saturday at 12 noon here in the Texas Panhandle. We had chicken and mushroom crepes, spinach salad with sliced strawberries and pecans with a raspberry dressing, green beans almondine, pink fluffy cherry salad, rolls, and cake from Miss Piggy's. We had 17 guests and decorated with pink tablecloths, white daisies, white laterns with pink candles, summer torch lights in all different colors. We had the luncheon in a bed and breakfast. I bought individual candles from Bath and Body (75 percent off) and each guest lit one and told something positive about the bride. Each guest got to take home their candle. We had a great time and the bride seemed very pleased. Mellodee |
How many woman are coming and do you plan on sit down or buffet, etc? I actually often like plated lucheons for smaller gatherings....if you have the inclination and help. It makes it seem a little more elegant, IMHO. And you'll generally have less food choices for a plated serving than with a typical luncheon buffet. Guess it just depends on how you want to do it. |
I am definitely doing buffet. The crowd is now all going to be in their 20's early 30's. So I think that will fit the group much easier. My menu I am still worried about. I have not come up with anything that I am overly excited about. |

My mother had a fall 2 months before. She had a home alarm system from one of the local companies available in our area. But then they were of no good. Now i was planning to give her some personal emergency system, which is easy to use and reliable at any point of time. Can somebody who has experience with a good company and product give me a suggestion? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The non-profit senior agency that I work for recommends Lifeline which is available thru the volunteer guild at the local hospital. My client gets a call every day just to ask her how she is, and her price is only $25 a month, but that's a sliding scale, and it can be as high as $35 depending on income. Call your local hospital or ask your mother's doctor. Use a system that is well know in her area. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lifeline
I would just get her a prepaid cell like T-Mobile to go. I keep mine in my pocket or attached to my waist band at all times. You could put your number on the speed dial as 1 and 911 as 2. It runs $7 or $8 a month with no contract or extra charges. I buy a thousand minutes ($100.)once a year to keep from having to worry about forgetting to renew and losing my number. They roll over the minutes. I broke my arm almost 2 years ago and even with that I had a terrible time getting to the phone. Every step was screaming pain. If I had broken my leg I would probably have died there. That is when I started wearing my phone. |

Lifealet is the most common in our area. My DM's cousin has another "basic" company that just has a button to push, there's no voice contact. She fell a year ago and since they didn't know her condition/status they dispatched every Emergency Response Vehicle you can imagine, including a high-ladder truck & a fire-cannon truck. Help! They broke her security screen and door in because she couldn't tell them where the lock-box was hiding the key. She was fine, but oh the frustrated panic. Much to the whole family's disgust, she still has the same company. I'm trying to talk her into using CTAP, California Telephone Access Program, which is totally free and provides a button, necklace or wrist, that has up to 6 pre-programed numbers and acts as a speaker phone. So she can choose which pre-programed number to tell it to dial and talk to the person at the other end. #1 is usually 911, so they have to be thinking half straight to dial anyone else. Any where that doesn't offer CTAP, i would recommend LifeAllert. check with AARP. They may have the services in your area rated on a list. l.marie |

Check with your local hospitals. There may be one or more that is directly connected to a Medical Alert System. This can be very helpful. Our local one also checks everyday. It's important that a Service will respond even when the person hasn't pushed a button or called. Silence is also a good sign that something bad may have happened. Yes, being called everyday can be a big nuisance, but if the person is in a condition where they need an Alert System, they need one that works even it they can't |

Community Turns Physical Activity Into Votes To Help Veterans Memorial Park Become "America's Favorite Park"
"Take It To The Park" was the rally cry heard around the country this summer. Thousands of people responded by getting active on behalf of their favorite parks. Veterans Memorial Park in Moore, Okla. emerged as "America's Favorite Park" with more than 400,000 votes and 16,000 hours of activity logged. The park will receive a $100,000 recreation grant from the Coca-Cola America Is Your Park campaign to help rebuild activity areas destroyed by a tornado.
"Americans are passionate about their parks. Each year, the widespread support for the America Is Your Park campaign shows us just how much. This year in particular was remarkable because communities across the country came together to support a special park in need – Veterans Memorial Park," said Stuart Kronauge, General Manager, Sparkling Beverages, Coca-Cola USA. "Our goal was to inspire people across the country to rediscover the joy of being active and to use that activity to benefit parks. Through this effort, a town devastated by a tornado will begin rebuilding one of their beloved landmarks."
Veterans Memorial Park catapulted to the top of the leaderboard when other communities rallied to its support. In a show of solidarity and compassion, previous grant winners and supporters whose parks were also damaged by natural disasters, came together to campaign for Veterans Memorial Park. These communities helped organize online voting drives and engaged celebrities to encourage voting for Veterans Memorial Park. Supporters encouraged fun outdoor activity and posted daily Facebook voting reminders to help the park win the top spot.
"Recovering from the tornado has been difficult, but the rebuilding efforts have strengthened our community and brought us all closer together," said Todd Jenson, Parks and Recreation Director, City of Moore. "The support and love our town received from all over the country is overwhelming. Thanks to Coca-Cola and everyone who voted, we can start rebuilding Veterans Memorial Park and create new memories."

Austinites thought the high-tech boom wouldn't change them, but it turned their city into something that more closely resembled Houston or Dallas in the golden eighties. Now they're paying the price.
All over the world, and all over this country, the Texas stereotype is mocked and maligned (so what else is new?). Does it matter, really, if everyone thinks we're fat, violent, prudish yahoos?
To understand Wanda Holloway's dark and desperate story, you have to start with where she came from.
For forty years Nellie Connally has been talking about that day, when she was in that car and saw that tragedy unfold. She's still talking—and now she's writing too.

My View: Access is a concern for emergency vehicles
Date: February 6, 2013
by: Chief Paul Dezzi | Guest Contributor
Longboat Key is a beautiful place to live, but with its luscious landscape and secluded home sites it can be difficult to gain access to locations in an emergency vehicle, especially a fire truck or ambulance.
When an emergency arises, the goal of the fire department and the needs of the community are the same, and that is a quick response to mitigate the situation.
The fire department conducted a survey of Longboat Key to determine if there is a concern in gaining access to both commercial and residential structures. The survey revealed the fire department needs to address certain concerns in its community. The main concern is overgrown trees and shrubbery. Emergency vehicles have a difficult time maneuvering around trees that encroach into the street, because the height of the 75-foot ladder truck is 12 feet. During the rainy season, tree limbs hang lower than normal, which causes even more of a problem with access. Throughout the past few years, the fire department vehicles have been damaged when responding to emergency calls because of striking low-lying trees.
Other concerns found through the survey were landscape pavers at the entrance to complexes, as well as security gates. Before placing landscape pavers at the entrances, please contact the fire department to ensure that the largest truck will be able to gain access to the complex without too much difficulty. It is also important to make contact with the fire department when installing or replacing security gates to ensure they're wide enough for emergency vehicles to enter, as well as to ensure the gate opener has the proper code. The department has had issues with not being able to gain access, which causes a delay in the response.
The reason for this article is to inform residents and property managers the importance of ensuring proper access for emergency vehicles. The fire department will be making contact with property owners and/or associations that were found to be a concern and will ask for their help in providing better access. If an owner or association receives a letter and has questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the fire department at 316-1944 for clarification.
If we can prevent delays in the response time, then we have been successful as a community. Remembering to keep emergency access as a priority when beautifying your home or business with trees and shrubbery will prevent a delay in emergency response.
Paul Dezzi became chief of Longboat Key Fire Rescue in September 2010.

Clean Harbors to spin out Oil and Gas Field Services as standalone entity
Clean Harbors announced that, as a result of its strategic review, the company plans to carve out its Oil and Gas Field Services segment as a standalone public entity. Due to the synergies related to drilling activity, Clean Harbors also intends to include its lodging drill camps business from its Lodging segment as part of the new entity. "During the fourth quarter, we completed the comprehensive strategic review of our portfolio that we began in early 2014," said Alan S. McKim, chairman and CEO. "The review was designed to determine the optimal mix of businesses to drive organic growth, enhance our margins and improve our return on invested capital. Based on this review, we are undertaking a number of initiatives to maximize shareholder value, including the carve-out of our Oil and Gas Field Services segment, while retaining the vast majority of our Lodging segment and our re-refining business." Since acquiring many of the Oil and Gas segment's assets in 2009, Clean Harbors has significantly grown the business and greatly expanded the value proposition it offers customers to encompass a combination of exploration, seismic and drilling support, solids/fluids control packages, disposal of drill cuttings and production services. Including the lodging drill camps business, the assets the Company plans to carve out generated approximately $250M in revenue through the first nine months of 2014. While the Oil and Gas Field Services segment experienced a down cycle in the past year, the company believes it constitutes an attractive long-term cyclical business that is well-positioned as a leader within many markets. Clean Harbors has hired Goldman Sachs & Co. as its financial advisor to assist in the proposed transaction, a process that could take more than 12 months. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, determination of the most advantageous structure from a financial and tax standpoint, receipt of regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of securities laws filings and final approval by the company's Board of Directors. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate structure and timing of the proposed transaction or whether the transaction will be completed.
