Stillman Valley linebacker/fullback a top performer at Adidas Invitational
Online Staff Report
STILLMAN VALLEY, Ill. — Stillman Valley High School fullback and linebacker Zac Hare was a top performer at the Adidas Invitational March 24 at Grand Valley State University in Allendale Charter Township, Michigan.
The 6-foot-2-inch, 240-pound 17-year-old was one of only 300 football players from the Midwest invited to participate in the event.
"It was an honor to be invited and test my skills against some of the Midwest's best high school football players," the high school junior said. "I have been working hard in the off-season to get ready for college camps in hopes of playing football at the next level. To be a top contender against guys like Jason Cornell (Minnesota) and Jayru Campbell (Michigan), both who have offers from schools such as Iowa, Notre Dame, Alabama and Michigan State, further proves to me that I am ready to play at the next level and motivates me to work even harder to make sure I get there."
The Adidas Invitational, which historically is a proving ground for Division One football talent, is a one-day event consisting of combine testing and one-on-one drills.
Hare, who was a First-Team All-Conference linebacker and ranked No. 27 in the area's top 200 rushers in 2012, has also been invited to the Rivals.com Showcase in Chicago May 4 and plans on attending Elite Junior Prospect Days at Drake University and Northern Illinois this spring.
But for now, says Hare, it's about hitting the books and hitting the weights.
"With two months left of my junior year, I am focusing on ending strong academically and preparing myself physically for one-day college recruiting camps this summer," Hare said. "If you want to play college football, there's no such thing as an off-season, so I'm pushing myself every day and confident that I'll be playing on Saturdays some day soon."

Multibeam manufacturer WASSP Ltd. announced the release of an independent report on their WMB-3250 Multibeam Sonar. Based in New Zealand, WASSP Ltd. has been supplying its Multibeam systems globally since 2007 and have over 700 systems being used in the commercial fishing industry and other applications including survey, dredging, fisheries research and defense. Using advanced signal processing techniques coupled with the latest generation hardware platforms, the WASSP WMB-3250 is a high-quality Multibeam solution that breaks the tradition of a Multibeam system being an expensive and complicated technology to use. "It was important to us that this report was conducted by an independent party using survey grade equipment with the resulting bathymetric survey data meeting industry standards. We certainly achieved that," said Terry McDonald, General manager of WASSP Ltd's parent company Electronic Navigation Ltd. The report conducted by Durban based company Environmental Mapping & Surveying (EMS) concentrated on a technical evaluation of the WMB3250 performance. Sensors and hydrographic software used included HYPACK, SMC IMU, Valeport SVP and Trimble RTK. "EMS's independent technical report clearly shows that the WMB-3250 is able to deliver the results and quality required for most entry level survey/mapping and dredge type applications where cost-effectiveness and ease of use are the prime requirement" McDonald added. For those readers who require it, analysis of the results verifies its ability to meet IHO Standard 1a. The report provides a comprehensive review of the systems 'accuracy' across a range of specific performance tests. The 1st component of this report has now been released and is available for downloading from the WASSP website. Additional components will be posted over the next week - these will cover separate and specific performance tests. The full report is available for download here: http://wassp.com/news-events/wassp-wmb-3250-independent-report-released/ wassp.com

Next year, the San Francisco hero-metal squad Slough Feg will celebrate their 25th anniversary, a benchmark that means founder and sole anchor Mike Scalzi has spent more of his life in the band than out of it. When Scalzi talks about Slough Feg, he often refers to the sacrifice and discomfort it has necessitated—living in the poor parts of an expensive city, working multiple jobs to cover the lifestyle, generally eschewing the responsibilities of middle-class Americans entering their fourth or fifth decades. "That's how I've been able to focus on it: by not having that kind of life by giving up the opportunities for a life that a lot of people want," Scalzi told Metalsucks in 2010. He was 40. "Kids, wives, houses, mortgages."
Scalzi, now 44, isn't just a musical lifer; he's a stylistic one, too. Since the start, Slough Feg has aspired to sound like the next generation of "classic metal," as though the singer took a left at Manilla Road and landed upon his own glorious intersection of Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, and Dio-era Rainbow. Despite the fluctuating fashion of the form, it has remained Slough Feg's bailiwick, their obduracy sometimes seeming like a one-band revival. Given the band's tendency toward retrograde sounds, an album that takes an anti-technology tack seems almost painfully obvious for Slough Feg: an old guy, yelling at an (online) cloud, and taking a very long and loud guitar solo. And on the surface and at least for the marketing purposes of Slough Feg's new label, Metal Blade, that's exactly what their ninth LP, Digital Resistance, is—an exploration of how electronics have turned well-meaning and intelligent people into facile consumers coldly following the orders of a screen. Less predictable, though, is the amount of fun that Scalzi, these days a professor of philosophy at a community college in California, seems to have delivering this particular lecture. What's more, he's able to spin his rant toward a surprisingly broad topic.
At the album's onset, a crew of "Analogue Avengers" rebel against technology's forward march. They are crusaders dead set on corrupting Moore's Law; with their cause set to an irrepressible Celtic gallop, it's hard not to pull for them, at least a little. Late-arriving highlight "The Luddite" repurposes many of the opener's barbs, where applications become opiates and human brains become harbors for artificial intelligence. The words are rueful battle cries. And however energetic and restless it may be, the title track grants the discontents an open hunting license on digital devices. "The season is ripe and free for killing technology," Scalzi sings, his voice delivering the verdict with breaking-news élan over spiraling guitars and spitfire drums. "The seeds of revolution, sewn."
Slough Feg have made concept records before, most notably 2003's rather definitive Traveller. Digital Resistance, however, avoids the strictures and conventions of a thorough concept record, or of becoming a systemic gripe. Instead, the troglodyte concerns of Digital Resistance are but a subset of the album's larger and more subtle theme—aging, but not aging out of having an opinion. Though the idea is most apparent when Scalzi is resisting the Internet Age, his nearing view of mortality is written throughout the record's often-tempered music and often-morbid lyrics. During "Ghastly Appendage", for instance, he starts to see ghosts all around him, phantoms that slip from the walls and into bed by night. A ghoulish cackle lingers between the verses, and a death-like echo lurks near the end. Though "The Price is Nice" is superficially an homage to actor Vincent Price, the feeling of senescence grows across it like sinister vines, thanks in part to references to two decades of Price's horror films. "The Tingler's creeping up my spine," Scalzi exclaims, a squealing guitar solo peeling from beneath the revelation. Age is the real omnipresent apparition of Digital Resistance, the mechanism by which cell phones become a threat and sci-fi fantasies morph into Orwellian nightmares.
But age hasn't stifled Scalzi: These songs overflow with two-guitar pirouettes and resplendent hooks, dynamic surges and appropriate aggression. In fact, as Scalzi's voice continues to deepen and slow, the maturity becomes an asset for some of Digital Resistance's more surprising moments. During the hitman confession "Habeas Corpsus" (that extra "s" emphasizes the serial nature of the narrator's work), Scalzi sounds a bit like Nick Cave, his brooding and low tone backlit by sweeping acoustic guitars and drums that shake like the nervous knees of the guilty. "Curriculum Vitae", fosters a psychedelic trance, with a pinwheel of bright guitar tones and textures sparkling atop a basic march. The song is an end-rhyme octet, where each line is a complaint lodged against the dumbstruck and pixel-faced: "Amidst the burned-out minds/ Automatons and mimes." Scalzi stretches each disappointed line into its own concerned chorus, multi-tracking his voice so that every criticism feels like a populist gripe.
And that's been the thrust of Slough Feg all along: to make grand, fist-in-the-air heavy metal, fit for lighters or cell phones and sing-alongs. Digital Resistance might be older and wiser, a transmission from a lifer, but that not a quest out of which they've aged.

Freeport runs past Summit Academy
TribLIVE Sports Videos
How do you make teammates who just clinched a share of a conference title look annoyed?
Have their parents make them pose for a group photo, when all they want to do is celebrate.
Freeport's celebration was briefly put on hold following a 47-0 romp over Summit Academy in an Allegheny Conference game Friday night at James Swartz Memorial Field.
"I'm just very proud of how hard the boys played all year. All 69 of them," Freeport coach John Gaillot said. "They just came out and gave their best. That's all we could ask for."
Freeport (7-2, 7-1) will share the conference title with Burrell (8-1, 7-1), but will get a higher seeding in the playoffs by virtue of their 26-7 win over the Bucs in Week 6.
"The seniors really wanted this game badly to be back-to-back conference co-champs," Gaillot said.
The senior that led the charge for Freeport was quarterback Brendan Lynch.
Lynch shredded the Summit Academy (1-7, 2-7) defense, recording 122 yards and three touchdowns on six carries while playing less than three quarters.
His total put him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season.
"I wasn't really sure how much I had (going into the game)," Lynch said. "I just wanted to come out and run as hard as possible. After a couple runs, somebody came up to me and said I was pretty close to a thousand. They gave me one last run to get over."
Lynch picked up 110 yards on four carries in the first half.
"I didn't have that set as a goal at the beginning of the year. I just wanted to do whatever I could to help my team" Lynch said. "Once Damon (Smith) went down, we really needed me to step up as a runner. I was able to gain a lot more yards in that span of time."
Smith, a senior running back, suffered a season-ending knee injury during Freeport's win over Burrell.
Lynch also completed a pair of passes for 87 yards. One went for a touchdown: a second-quarter strike to senior tight end Tony DeVivo, covering 62 yards.
"He was a three-year starter. We took a lot of criticism for starting a sophomore," Gaillot said. "But he played every game for us. I'm just very proud."
Lynch also had a 55-yard punt return for a touchdown early in the first quarter.
The only two scores that Lynch didn't factor in on were also by the group of outgoing seniors.
Running back Mike Teorsky opened the scoring with a 29-yard run, and Dustin Koedel added a 2-yard run halfway through the second quarter.

5 Apps Designed to Make Potty Training a Breeze
Potty training used to involve little more than a potty seat, a book about the toilet, and a few rewards for successful trips there. Today, the most basic of ideas has gone high tech (and we're not even talking about using the iPotty for training). While it may seem odd to hand your smartphone or tablet over to a tot just learning how to use the toilet, an array of potty training apps may actually convince you otherwise. From interactive storybooks to animated reward charts and countdown timers that nudge kids to visit the restroom, these five apps may have you doing your own potty dance for joy sooner than you ever imagined possible.

If you are looking for an additional Potty Training app, Preschoology released a new Potty training app yesterday and it is currently FREE. The app is called "The Potty Show". It allows a parent to upload their child's picture for a truly interactive social skills experience!

Irate Reds fans call for next manager to be fired
CINCINNATI, OH - Just days after the firing of Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker, irate Cincinnati Reds fans have reached their boiling point, and have called upon ownership to fire the next manager. Though the new Reds skipper has not yet been named, vocal fans have expressed extreme displeasure with the team's leadership.
"This is a proud baseball town," said Western Hills native Steve Krauss. "The new manager is making a mockery of the game of baseball. It makes me long for the days when I was calling for the job of Dusty Baker. Hopefully, they will listen to what we want and make a move in the right direction."
Reds GM Walt Jocketty was puzzled by the fan's reaction. "We appreciate the fan's enthusiasm and input," he explained. "The good news is, we had to pay Dusty over three million, but at least we won't have to eat any salary if we fire the new guy, since we haven't actually signed him yet.
"I have not seen a decent lineup yet," said irate sports radio caller Darren Neely. "Has this guy given any thought at all to the fact that the number two hitter needs to have a good on base percentage? Of course he hasn't. His head must roll. Also, Chapman has not made an appearance in weeks. When they finally do put him in, he's gonna blow out his arm. Guess we just need to forget about the World Series again in 2014."
Though fans may be ready for the Reds to hire another new manager in just under a month, frequent Reds managerial critic Marty Brennaman has not leveled any criticism. "One thing I'll say about the Reds lately," explained Marty. "They aren't playing any of those long drawn out games that keep me at the ballpark all night."

Wandsworth Town - New Entrance
Work started this week to prepare for the construction of a new entrance and ticket office at Wandsworth Town station, providing better facilities for passengers.
The new entrance and ticket office, located on Old York Road, will include a new accessible ticket desk window, plus new automatic doors, ticket vending machines and automated ticket gates. The existing ticket office on platforms 2 and 3 will be modified to create an extra passenger waiting area.
Richard O'Brien, Network Rail's route director for Wessex, said: "An important part of building a bigger and better railway is to provide facilities at stations which better meet the needs of today's passengers. This upgrade at Wandsworth Town will bring long-lasting benefits for the thousands who use it every day."
Ravi Govindia, Wandsworth Council's transport and regeneration spokesman, said: "Old York Road is an attractive and popular part of the town centre and the rather scruffy station facilities have looked out of place for years. This joint-funded project will put the situation right and is another step forward for the regeneration of Wandsworth Town. The new purpose built entrance will also help solve the congestion problems in the subway tunnel which has become increasingly crowded in recent years as more and more people use the station."
Christian Neill, head of stations for South West Trains said: "We welcome this scheme to deliver improved facilities at Wandsworth Town. The new station building will provide much needed improvements to the station and will provide passengers with improved service information, CCTV and more ticket vending machines making it easier for passengers to buy their train tickets."
The entrance and upgraded facilities are due to be completed in Summer 2011.
Passengers can continue to enter the station from the existing Old York Road entrance for the duration of the work. However, the automatic ticket machines will be relocated temporarily back into the subway and other manned ticket office facilities will be re-instated on platforms 2 and 3 until the new entrance is complete.
The national stations improvement programme (NSIP) is a £150m Department for Transport backed rail industry scheme to enhance150 medium sized stations in England and Wales. Typically the initiative responds to the key needs of passengers, to provide safe, secure and comfortable stations, and provide suitable information.
Approximate funding breakdown:
- National stations improvement programme - £990k
- Wandsworth borough council - £250k

Wandsworth Town - Current Entrance
Pedestrians are risking injury or death by taking shortcuts and climbing over fencing at Grays level crossing in Essex, Network Rail and Thurrock Council have warned.
Network Rail is seeking to recruit 18 young people from the east of England for its award-winning apprenticeship scheme, as it continues the largest investment into the railway since Victorian times.
Network Rail / South West Trains Alliance is about to begin a programme of track renewals in the Poole area, as part of its continued investment in improving the railway.
Foxhall Road bridge in Didcot reopened yesterday, Tuesday 17 February, after work to prepare it for the electrification of the railway was completed along with improvement work to make the bridge more accessible and safer for its users.
The school attended by Olivia Bazlinton and Charlie Thompson, who were killed at a level crossing in Elsenham in 2005, has worked with Network Rail to create a new safety film to help raise awareness of the dangers at level crossings and how to stay safe.

Man in Social Security fraud case sentenced
- Ben Miller
- Contributing Editor- Puget Sound Business Journal
Former Bellevue resident Raymond C. O'Dell, 70, was sentenced to six months in jail and ordered to pay $188,000 in restitution for collecting Social Security benefits for 23 years after his mother's death.
O'Dell is the last man sentenced in Social Security fraud schemes that netted jail sentences for four other Puget Sound area residents.
According to the government, O'Dell's mother died in November 1989, but he failed to notify Social Security. He also fraudulently collected $100,000 in pension benefits from the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System and is expected to be sentenced in that case later this week.
"Cheaters shred the safety net for those that really need it ... Those who might be tempted to cheat the government of these funds need to know prison and hefty fines wait at the end of the scheme," said U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan, in a statement.
Others sentenced in Social Security fraud cases include:
Patty Buchanan, 57, of Seattle, was sentenced in June to 18 months in jail for collecting $239,083 for 19 years after her father died. She was ordered to repay the money.
Claudia Ruth Greenamyer, 72, of University Place, who pleaded guilty in May to fraudulently collecting $219,960 following the death of her mother in 1996 and her father in 2000, was sentenced in September to three months in jail;
Dennis Jay Gorin, 76, of Eatonville, who also pleaded guilty in May to fraudulently collecting about $100,000 in Social Security benefits belonging to his mother following her death in about 2003, was sentenced in September to 10 months in prison;
And David Michael Costa, 77, of Sammamish, who pleaded guilty in June to fraudulently collecting $297,948 of his mother's Social Security benefits following her death in 1989, was sentenced in September to 10 months in prison.

Nice light, but.... Louise from Cary, NC– Verified Buyer I bought this light to be unobtrusive under a high middle cabinet over my sideboard. It gives off nice light, but even when adjusted to shine on wall, the leds reflect on the back alluminum piece creating an obvious string of 5 led pearls. Also, only has a small range when used with dimmer, never getting very low. This may be the case with led lights, but as I have some warm led christmas lights that do dim, thought a fixture for ths price would do the same. |
18" LED Under Cabinet Bar Light is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: UCLD 18 BN M4, UCLD 18 BZ M4, UCLD 18 WH M4

Melanie Webster v. Walgreen Co.
Civil. Affirms judgment of trial court denying motion to amend the filing date of a complaint against Walgreen in order to comply with the statute of limitations. The appellate court held that "mailing" for purposes of the Indiana Trial Rules requires the sender to affix sufficient postage, and since that didn't happen here the original complaint was untimely.

Post conviction. Affirms denial of petition for post-conviction relief. Because Garrett's double jeopardy claims are without merit, he was not prejudiced by his trial and direct appeal attorneys' failure to raise these claims.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Lorraine (Carpenter) Miller v. Karl Carpenter
Domestic relation. Reverses the trial court's grant of joint legal custody to father, holding the evidence does not support modification of custody. Rejects the mother's argument that the court made a de facto modification of physical custody, holding the court merely modified parenting time, and holds the trial court did not abuse its discretion in reducing the father's child support obligations.
Opinions March 26, 2012
March 26, 2012
Indiana Court of Appeals
Lavern Ceaser v. State of Indiana
Criminal. Affirms trial court's denial of Ceaser's motion to dismiss, holding that her prior conviction for battering the same child in the same manner similar to the underlying incident was admissible under the intent and lack of accident or mistake exceptions to Indiana Evidence Rule 404(b). Further holds evidence at trial was sufficient to rebut her claim of parental privilege.
Opinions March 23, 2012
March 23, 2012
Indiana Supreme Court
Troy R. Smith v. State of Indiana
Criminal. Affirms trial court's judgment to revoke probation for Troy Smith on grounds that he failed to pay weekly child support as a condition of his probation. Justices disagreed with Smith's appellate argument that state failed to carry its burden of proof that his failure to pay was reckless, knowing or intentional.
Opinions March 22, 2012

Indiana Supreme Court
Sheila Perdue, et al. v. Michael A. Gargano, et al.
Civil plenary. Reverses in part Marion Superior Judge David Dreyer's ruling on challenge to Indiana Family and Social Services Administration's automated system of processing claims for Medicaid, food stamps, and temporary assistance. Holds that the FSSA's denial notices are insufficiently explanatory but that the agency may deny an application when that person fails to cooperate in the eligibility determination process. Affirms in part the trial court's grant of Sheila Perdue's summary judgment motion on the grounds that she's entitled to reasonable accommodations in applying for benefits but that does not necessarily require a caseworker or case management services.
Opinions March 21, 2012
March 21, 2012
Indiana Supreme Court
State of Indiana v. International Business Machines Corporation
Civil plenary. Holds that Indiana Code 34-29-2-1 – providing that the governor of the state of Indiana is "privileged from arrest on civil process, and from obeying any subpoena to testify" – operates to preclude a trial court from issuing an order to compel the governor's deposition in a contract dispute brought by the state of Indiana against a contractor. Justice Sullivan concurs in result.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Estate of Nicholas D. Rice, deceased, by Rick D. Rice and Diane J. Waldrop, co-personal representatives v. Correctional Medical Services, et al.
09-2804, 10-2389
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division, Judges Robert L. Miller Jr. and Rudy Lozano.
Civil. In No. 09-2804, affirms in part and reverse in part the District Court's entry of summary judgment in favor of the defendants. A material dispute of fact precludes summary judgment on one of the estate's Section 1983 claims. In No. 10-2389, reverses the District Court's decision to dismiss the state claims on the basis of collateral estoppel. Remands both cases for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Indiana Supreme Court
Jimmie E. Jones, Jr. v. State of Indiana
Criminal. Adopts Court of Appeals opinion in full, which affirmed the refusal by the trial court to give Jones' tendered instructions on reckless homicide and involuntary manslaughter as lesser-included offenses to the murder charge. The evidence didn't support a reckless homicide instruction and the charging information for the murder count foreclosed an involuntary manslaughter instruction.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Harry Foster III and Linda Foster v. State Farm Fire and Casualty Company
United States District Court, Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division, Judge Theresa L. Springman.
Civil. Affirms District Court's grant of summary judgment in favor of State Farm Fire and Casualty Company, holding the Fosters' failure to produce requested documents was a material breach of their insurance agreement.
Opinions March 15, 2012
March 15, 2012
Indiana Supreme Court
Charlie White, et. al. v. Indiana Democratic Party, through its Chairman , Daniel J. Parker
Miscellaneous. Reverses a decision by Marion Circuit Judge Lou Rosenberg, which found that Charlie White was not eligible to take office following the November 2010 election because he had improperly registered to vote at an address where he was not living. Justice Brent Dickson concurred in result, but wrote separately to say that he agreed with the election contest being dismissed because he sees the Legislature's attempt to impose additional eligibility qualifications on candidates as unconstitutional and not a basis to contest someone's eligibility for office.
Opinions March 14, 2012
March 14, 2012
Indiana Supreme Court
Phyllis Hardy, Alax Keith Furnish and Megan Jessica Furnish, by next friend Phyllis Hardy v. Mary Jo Hardy
Civil plenary. Holds that the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Act does not preempt the equitable claims over the life insurance proceeds of Carlos Hardy and that the first wife and grandchildren are entitled to a constructive trust over at least a portion of the proceeds.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Shannon McComas v. Edward Brickley
United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge Sarah Evans Barker.
Civil. Reverses District Court's denial of Brickley's motion for summary judgment. McComas filed suit against Brickley for false arrest after the charges against McComas were dropped.
But Brickley claimed that he had probable cause to arrest McComas and qualified immunity in his role as a police officer. The 7th Circuit agreed and held the District Court erred in its determination of qualified immunity. It remanded with instructions consistent with its opinion.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America v. Anthony Raupp
United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt.
Criminal. Affirms District Court's determination that Raupp was a "career offender," due to a previous crime of violence, and affirms 100-month sentence. Judge Diane Wood dissented, holding that the majority relied on a note in the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines that is for agency interpretation of its own rule.

U.S.A v. Marlon K. Spears
No. 10-3338
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division, Chief Judge Philip P. Simon.

Indiana Supreme Court
Mark J. Thatcher v. City of Kokomo, et al.
Certified question. Indiana Code 36-8-4-7(a) applies to a member of the 1977 Fund who is receiving disability benefits and who has been determined to have been recovered pursuant to 35 Indiana Administrative Code 2-5-5(c). And the time period during which a person receives disability benefits under Indiana Code 36-8-8-12(e) does not count toward "years of service" as that term is used in Indiana Code 36-8-4-7(a).
Opinions March 5, 2012

Indiana Court of Appeals
Brandy L. Walczak v. Labor Works-Fort Wayne, LLC, d/b/a Labor Works
Civil plenary. Reverses summary judgment for Labor Works-Fort Wayne in Walczak's suit for unpaid wages. Concludes that the matter must be first submitted to the Department of Labor for resolution, so the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the claims until the DOL had made a determination. Remands with instructions to dismiss the complaint.
Opinions March 2, 2012
March 2, 2012
Indiana Court of Appeals
Brian Scott Hartman v. State of Indiana
Criminal. Affirms the denial of Hartman's motion to suppress a statement he made to the police regarding involvement in the death of his father. Hartman initiated further communication by asking whether the search warrant had been served and whether anything had been found, and then told the detective that he wanted to speak with him.
Opinions March 1, 2012

Jeremy K. Warriner v. DC Marshall Jeep a/k/a DC Marshall, Inc.
Civil tort. Affirms summary judgment for the dealership in Warriner's suit alleging the dealership is strictly liable for the injuries he sustained in a car accident under the Indiana Products Liability Act and liable for negligent marketing of an unsafe product. Holds a manufacturer's discharge in bankruptcy does not prevent a trial court from holding jurisdiction over that manufacturer. Judge Bailey concurs in part and concurs in result in part.

It's a big fat black mark against the US that they radicalized a lot of these Afghan jihadis in the 80s to fight the soviets and then when they predictably got around to biting the hand that fed them, the US had to invade their homelands, install a bunch of corrupt drug kingpins and kleptocrats, take these guys and torture the hell out of them. Why for example did the US have to sodomize them? Dubya said "they hate us for our freedoms!" Here, try some of that freedom whether you like it or not!!! Now they got even more reasons to hate us-- lets just keep bombing the crap out of their populations, installing more puppet regimes, arming one faction against another, etc etc etc.... the US is becoming a monster. No wonder they hate us. Here's my modest recommendation. How about we follow "Just War" theory in the future. St Augustine had it right. How about we treat these obvious prisoners of war according to the Geneva convention instead of torturing them in sadistic and perverted ways.
As usual, John is "spot-on." The subtle but poignant points he makes are numerous and warrant reflection by mediators and users. Oh but were it so simple.
ACLU. Way to step up against the police state. I see a lot of things from the ACLU I don't like but this one is a gold star in its column.... instead of fighting it the authorities should apologize and back off.
Duncan, It's called the RIGHT OF ASSOCIATION and in the old days people believed it did apply to contracts and employment. Then along came title vii.....that aside, I believe that I am free to work or not work for whomever I like regardless: I don't need a law to tell me I'm free. The day I really am compelled to ignore all the facts of social reality in my associations and I blithely go along with it, I'll be a slave of the state. That day is not today......... in the meantime this proposed bill would probably be violative of 18 usc sec 1981 that prohibits discrimination in contracts... a law violated regularly because who could ever really expect to enforce it along the millions of contracts made in the marketplace daily? Some of these so-called civil rights laws are unenforceable and unjust Utopian Social Engineering. Forcing people to love each other will never work.
I am the father of a sweet little one-year-old named girl, who happens to have Down Syndrome. To anyone who reads this who may be considering the decision to terminate, please know that your child will absolutely light up your life as my daughter has the lives of everyone around her. There is no part of me that condones abortion of a child on the basis that he/she has or might have Down Syndrome. From an intellectual standpoint, however, I question the enforceability of this potential law. As it stands now, the bill reads in relevant part as follows: "A person may not intentionally perform or attempt to perform an abortion . . . if the person knows that the pregnant woman is seeking the abortion solely because the fetus has been diagnosed with Down syndrome or a potential diagnosis of Down syndrome." It includes similarly worded provisions abortion on "any other disability" or based on sex selection. It goes so far as to make the medical provider at least potentially liable for wrongful death. First, how does a medical provider "know" that "the pregnant woman is seeking the abortion SOLELY" because of anything? What if the woman says she just doesn't want the baby - not because of the diagnosis - she just doesn't want him/her? Further, how can the doctor be liable for wrongful death, when a Child Wrongful Death claim belongs to the parents? Is there any circumstance in which the mother's comparative fault will not exceed the doctor's alleged comparative fault, thereby barring the claim? If the State wants to discourage women from aborting their children because of a Down Syndrome diagnosis, I'm all for that. Purporting to ban it with an unenforceable law, however, is not the way to effectuate this policy.

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (KTHV) - One couple who presented and made a deal on television show "Shark Tank" will be speaking at Ouachita Baptist University Friday, Feb. 27.
Brett and Stephanie Parker of Fort Worth will be giving a lecture on their latest invention, the Sleeping Baby brand. Brett is an OBU 2004 graduate and is excited to bring his story back to his alma mater.
In the beginning, the couple invested their savings of $700 to launch their business of Zipadee-Zip sleep garments for baby and kids. After appearing on Shark Tank, their small-time business turned into a $1 million company. Three of the 'sharks' on the show made offers to the couple, but the Parkers made a deal with Daymond John for $200,000 and a 20 percent stake in the company. Their company has seen nothing but success ever since.
The couple will give their 45 minute lecture at the Hickingbotham School of Business on Friday starting at noon.
CAMDEN, Ark. (KTHV) - One man's goal of keeping children out of after-school trouble is growing and needing help.
Eric Gunter is the administrator of the Mobile Inter-Action (M.I.A.) program. It is a large vehicle driven around Camden to pick up children after school and provide them with safe activities, counteracting the influence of drugs in the community. The M.I.A. supplies warm meals, homework assistance, social activities and educational fieldtrips.
The M.I.A. gives the children tutoring and mentoring in hopes to shape them towards a rewarding future.
ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (KTHV) – Wednesday's weather system was very particular about where it left snow behind.
While areas north of Little Rock got through nearly unscathed, parts of south Arkansas got hammered with the most snow they've seen in years.
THV11's Phil Buck was in Caddo Valley on Wednesday evening.
While driving got a little touch-and-go in some spots, most of the people that THV11 found were just out enjoying themselves in the snow.
"It brings the kid back out in me so I'm gonna come out here and sled a little bit," said Blake Rouse, a Henderson State student.
Rouse wasn't alone on the Henderson State campus, as the biggest snowfall of the week cancelled classes yet again.
"It's awesome, yeah, we've had actually three days in a row off so it's been great," said Rouse.
ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (KTHV) – Arkadelphia was looking like a winter wonderland on Wednesday.
On the Henderson State campus, you could find dozens of kids, plus huge hills covered in snow, meaning a day of fun for kids who live near or on the campus.
THV11's Marlisa Goldsmith joined in on the sledding fun this evening. Watch the video for more!
HOPE, Ark. (KTHV) -- Hope police are asking for the public's assistance in locating 58-year-old Larry Smith.
According to police, Smith was last seen on Feb. 4 at his apartment. He has not contacted family or friends since that date, and all of his belongings are said to still be inside his home.
No other description were released.
CONWAY, Ark. (KTHV) - The best spellers in the state will come together to compete at the Arkansas State Spelling Bee, which could take the winner to nationals in Washington D.C.
The competition will be held Feb. 28 in the Reynolds Performance Hall on the University of Central Arkansas campus in Conway. Registration will start at 7:30 a.m. and the competition will begin at 9 a.m.
The competition will consist of 60 county spelling bee winners in second through eighth grade that will be competing for an all-expense-paid trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C., in May.
The other prizes will be Kindles for the top three finishers, Amazon gift cards and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionaries.
ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (KTHV) - Minimum wage is going up for many Walmart employees in 2015.
Half a million Walmart employees at both Walmart and Sam's Club stores are expected to make $9 dollars an hour starting in April. That is a $1.75 increase from the original federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. By February of 2016, employees should be making $10 an hour.
"I think this could potentially go a long ways to improving employee morale, which could improve customer engagement," says Brian Yarbrough, analyst with Edward Jones. Happier employees, and more welcoming stores, could also help Walmart's sales, which haven't been able to sustain significant momentum since the recession, he says.

Damn nice end game with lots of forced moves and sacrifices that WHITE MADE!
very nice !!! 10/10
gooooooood puzzzzzzzle
very nice
Qh6 (Qg5 would have let the king escape) should have been the best thought out move. Queen sacrifice just to ensure the continuous barage of checks. Highly impressive.
was wondering after F6, if Kg6 would have made any difference. But No. Ne7 is a check mate straight away. King just had those lone moves all the way from left to right of the board :) hair raising thought.
woah.. this was pretty good ! Although, all moves were quite forced..
easy !

Terrible from the moment I arrived. The servers are young and clearly disinterested in their jobs. Food took forever to arrive.
Buffalo shrimp gave me food-poisoning. It didnt really taste like buffalo, rather than a sort of pepper. No tang.

Oil on canvas, 20 x 16 inches, signed "H. Foley" lower right. There is an inscription on the back of the canvas which appears to read "View of Strasburg."
This lithograph by Jacob Landau measures 11 x 7 1/4 inches, printed on heavy weight paper with wide margins and is pencil signed, titled and numbered. Laudau used art as a means of communicating the triumphant and also the tragic challenges facing humankind which he witnessed first hand while growing up during the Depression, his service in the army and the profound affect the Holocaust had on him. He often presented these unpleasant topics in a way that emphasized the unlimited possibilities of peace and greater understanding.
