In 1883, the year when Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson solved the case of the Speckled Band, an equally baffling real-life killing drew another noted team of detectives to the Western Lunatic Asylum (later renamed the Western State Hospital) in Staunton, Virginia.
On the morning of 24 February 1883, just after receiving their regular liquid medications, seven male patients lost consciousness. Four died almost immediately, two died in the next three days, and one recovered. An eighth patient vomited and experienced other ill effects, but recovered in a few days. A coroner's inquest concluded that the victims' cups of medicine must have been poisoned while sitting in an unlocked hall cabinet the previous evening. Other patients, taking the same medicine which had not been left in the cabinet, had no problems. Dr. W.W.S. Butler, head pharmacist at the asylum, testified that no poisons were missing from the dispensary. Autopsies were performed, and University of Virginia chemistry professor John W. Mallet used the latest forensic techniques to analyze three of the victims' stomachs and their contents. Mallet concluded that the poison used was aconitia (also known as aconitine), an extremely toxic extract of the aconite or monkshood plant, and the coroner's jury agreed. The asylum pharmacy had a bottle of highly diluted "tincture of aconite," but Mallet thought it was not strong enough to … read more »
Welcome to Mug Shot Monday! This is the latest entry in a series of posts highlighting inmate photographs in the records of the Virginia Penitentiary. Ernest Harper, the subject of this week's post, brutally murdered an unrequited love interest and was sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary. Eighteen months into his sentence, Harper escaped in dramatic fashion and was never recaptured.
On Thursday morning, 2 November 1922, Ernest Harper, armed with a revolver, burst into the room of Mrs. Alice Moore in Norfolk. He shot Moore seven times, emptying his weapon; she was able to run down the stairs but died in the doorway. Harper was quickly captured. His motive was jealousy. Harper had fallen in love with Moore, who was estranged from her husband, Luther Moore. Alice rejected Harper's advances and the Moores had recently reconciled. After learning the news, Harper shot Moore in a jealous rage. In May 1923, Harper was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to 20 years in the Virginia Penitentiary.
Upon Harper's arrival at the Penitentiary on 23 May 1923, he was placed in the cell of Frank McGee, who was serving a 15-year sentence for housebreaking. The two cell mates planned one of the most sensational and well-planned escapes in penitentiary history. "Eighteen inches of steel-re-enforced concrete, a three-quarters of an inch steel plate, … read more »
A recent episode of BackStory With the American History Guys entitled "On The Take" addressed the topic of corruption in American politics and government. Host Brian Balogh interviewed legal scholar Nicholas Parrillo, who pointed out that, in an effort to prevent such corruption around the turn of the 20th century, government officials' salaries were often paid through the fees and fines that they levied. Essentially, they were paid on commission. Some coroner's inquest records from Bedford County recently brought that practice to light.
On 30 May 1890, jurors selected to inquire into the death of James Brown, a resident of Bedford County's Big Island, were stumped. After reviewing the evidence, half of the jury thought that the deceased came to his death by poison, and the other half thought the cause of death was unknown. They all agreed on one thing –that Brown had shown symptoms of having been poisoned, and they wanted his stomach analyzed.
Apparently, what they wanted was expensive and somewhat complicated. State Assayer and Chemist Dr. William H. Taylor wrote from his laboratory at 606 E. Grace St. in Richmond, Virginia, a letter that described exactly how much it would cost and what he would need. He explained that the fee for the stomach analysis was $200, and that the State would only cover $25 of the cost, … read more »
Dr. Paul J. Parker ruled on 11 June 1935, that "James A. Branch came to his death of gun shot wound while gun was in hands of Lewis Smith at No 4 Curry St Phoebus Va [sic]." However, five months later he modified his ruling when he wrote, "James Branch came to his death by a gun shot wound just below the lobe of the left ear, this occurred at the corner of Curry and County Streets, Phoebus, Va." Lack of an explanation for this momentous change amplified the intrigue and portended a unique case in the otherwise straightforward files of Dr. Parker.
As the medical examiner for Elizabeth City County, later the City of Hampton, Dr. Parker was tasked with conducting coroner's inquiries into any sudden, violent, unnatural, or suspicious deaths, or any death which occurred without medical attendance. These inquiries included conducting depositions to determine how the victim came to his or her death and, if so warranted, forwarding his findings to the Elizabeth City County Circuit Court for grand jury consideration.
In the case of James Branch, Dr. Parker, after deposing eleven witnesses, found that Lewis Smith had held the gun that fired the fatal shot. Included in this group of witnesses was Mr. Smith, whom Dr. Parker advised had been charged with murder. Interestingly Dr. Parker then did what … read more »
Cornbread and cabbage turned lethal for one Petersburg woman, but it was another woman's need for some chicken feed that exposed the death as something more nefarious than a simple case of food poisoning. Parmelia Williamson became "deathly sick" after consuming what proved to be her last meal on 9 June 1909. Junius Williamson, Parmelia's husband, first used the word "poison" to describe his wife's condition because he did "not think she washed the ham as it oughter [sic] have been." Even Parmelia said "her stomach felt like it did when she was poisoned in the country."
Attended by her husband and neighbor Delia Brooks, Parmelia was examined by a Dr. W. C. Powell who pronounced it a case of "Cholera Morbus," but Parmelia insisted, "I have no Cholera Morbus, I am poisoned." He gave her a hypodermic injection, put hot water bottles to her feet, and left. As she continued vomiting, her condition worsened, and she threw her arms up and said, "Delia, save me, do not let me die…save me for the sake of my poor little infant baby." Another doctor, James E. Smith, was called and pronounced that Mrs. Williamson would not live two hours and that she had been poisoned by arsenic or "Paris Green," a compound used as an insecticide for produce in the 1900s. After she … read more »
In 1879, Charles C. Curtis was working at the retail store of Wingo, Ellett, and Crump at 1000 Main Street in Richmond. A customer, a young lady named Isabel Cottrell, visited the store to try on a pair of shoes, and found Mr. Curtis's behavior "exceedingly offensive." Instead of allowing her to put the shoes on, he insisted on holding the shoe for her to put her foot in and on buttoning the shoe after she had "begged him" to let her do it herself. She encountered Mr. Curtis on a second visit to pick up a pair of shoes she had ordered, and he insisted that she try them on in the store. Cottrell instead took the shoes home.
On a third visit, she took both pairs of shoes back to the store "with the purpose of leaving one pair of shoes and having the heels of the other plated." Cotrell claimed Curtis opened the bundle of shoes and remarked, in a rather impertinent way, "what a pretty little shoe, I certainly would like to put them on you. I don't see how you can walk with such a foot." Ms. Cottrell "was very much provoked, and told him he would oblige [her] by not commenting on [her] foot." She was further annoyed when Curtis accompanied her to the phaeton, where a friend was … read more »
16 August 2012 is the 100th anniversary of the execution of Virginia Christian for the brutal murder of Ida V. Belote in Hampton, Virginia, on 18 March 1912. Out of the Box featured select documents from the Christian case in September 2010. The 23 September 2010 execution of Teresa Lewis for her role in the murder of her husband, Julian Lewis, sparked new interest in Virginia Christian, who up to that time was the only woman to be executed by the Commonwealth of Virginia since the General Assembly centralized executions at the Virginia State Penitentiary in 1908.
Often in high-profile criminal cases, the victim and victim's family are an afterthought. To mark this infamous anniversary, I decided to write a post on Ida V. Belote. Who was she? What happened to her eight children? Two of her young daughters discovered their mother's body and testified at the coroner's inquisition. What became of them? My search for answers led me to the Belote coroner's inquisition, newspaper articles, and Ancestry.com. What follows is a fragmentary picture of Ida Belote and her family.
Ida Virginia Hobbs, the daughter of James and Harriette Hobbs, was born in March 1861 in North Carolina. Hobbs married James Edward Wadsworth Belote (17 February 1846-6 June 1911) on 5 November 1879 in Northampton County, North Carolina. By 1880 the … read more »
On the night of 4 August 1882, James M. Duesbury heard pistol shots coming from the nearby home of Christopher Goode and ran to see what the matter was. Goode, a resident of Richmond, Virginia, lived at 709 West Marshall behind what is now the Siegel Center near Virginia Commonwealth University. When Duesbury arrived at the home, Goode stated "I have shot a man; here he is lying down on the floor." When Duesbury asked why he shot him, he answered, "I caught him on top of my wife." Policeman Lewis Frayser arrived at the scene and found Winston Robinson "lying on the floor with his pants and drawers down to his knees" and met Mahala Goode, the wife, in a dress that was "very much disarranged" and "bleeding very freely" from the gunshot wounds she accidentally received during the altercation.
In his testimony to police, Christopher Goode stated, "My God Master, I couldn't help it to save my life, I shot him and couldn't help it." Mr. Goode further elaborated, explaining that he had been "under the porch and heard them hugging and kissing" and heard his wife invite Robinson upstairs, but Robinson declined saying he "didn't care about going upstairs" because "if the old man came there would be a fight and one or the other would be killed." When Goode heard them … read more »
Tomorrow historian Selden Richardson will speak at the Library of Virginia on his new book, The Tri-State Gang in Richmond: Murder and Robbery in the Great Depression. Here is a brief description of the book from the publisher:
"The 1930s was a tough decade, one made even tougher by Prohibition. During this lawless time in American history, a group of criminals called the Tri-State Gang emerged from Philadelphia and spread their operations south, through Baltimore to Richmond, wreaking bloody havoc and brutally eliminating those who knew too much about their heists. Once termed the "Dillingers of the East," Robert Mais and Walter Legenza led their men and molls on a violent journey of robberies, murders, and escapes up and down the East Coast."
Richardson, a former archivist at the Library of Virginia, will recount the story of this whirlwind of crime and how it finally reached its climax in Richmond. The talk, part of the "Books on Broad" series, is free. Light refreshments (wine and cheese) will be served (5:30–6:15 pm), followed by author talk (6:15–7:15 pm), and book signing (7:15–7:30 pm). His book can be purchased through The Virginia Shop at the Library of Virginia.
Selden made extensive use of the records at the Library of Virginia. The gallery accompanying this post consists of some examples from our local, state, and newspaper collections.… read more »
Three Highland County Commonwealth Causes (Barcode 0007281802) reveal a tangled web of conspiracy, murder, and secret affairs. The cast of players includes Elizabeth Sheridan, wife of the deceased; Mary Ann Wily, Elizabeth's daughter from a previous marriage; Sam, a slave; and Ellen, a slave and Sam's wife. Commonwealth vs. Sam (slave), 1856 August; Commonwealth vs. Ellen (slave), 1856 August; and Commonwealth vs. Elizabeth Sheridan and Mary Ann Wily, 1856 November concern the murder of Mr. Francis W. Sheridan by Sam, a slave hired by Sheridan from William Wilson. Sam's wife, Ellen, was also charged with being "concerned in the murder," while Elizabeth Sheridan and her daughter Mary Ann Wily were charged as accessories. The cases contain assorted court documents including depositions and statements from various neighbors and acquaintances of the accused and the murder victim.
A document entitled "Evidence in Support of Prosecution" offers a wealth of information. Notes from the coroner's inquest give revealing physical facts about Francis Sheridan. He was described as a small man about the age of 21 or 22 years whose body displayed visible signs of trauma due to strangulation. The report reveals that the body was found lying face down in a drain twenty or thirty feet away from the public road and gives a detailed forensic account of Sheridan's bedroom, where the murder actually took place.… read more »

HOPKINS COUNTY, KY (12/10/11)—While a down economy and high unemployment rates across the country only add to the dilemma, financial troubles for most families are timeless, and it's an unfortunate truth that many children will receive little to no gifts for Christmas as a result. However, one of several charitable holiday programs in our region—the annual "Shop With a Cop" Program—has been able change that fact for thousands of local youths over the years.
Initially organized by the national Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) in the early 1980's, the "Shop With a Cop" Program spread outward and became a big part of the Madisonville/Hopkins County area during the late 1980's to early 1990s. Overseen by our local FOP group—the Pat Collins FOP Lodge 19—and directly supported by volunteers with the Madisonville Police Department (MPD), Citizen's Police Academy, Hopkins County Jail, Probation and Parole, Hopkins County Sheriff's Department (HCSD), a variety of businesses, a cross-section of generous area residents and groups, and beyond, the program helps to provide new clothing and toys to hundreds of local kids every year.
In building upon this lengthy tradition, members of the FOP and local law enforcement members also provide a breakfast from McDonald's to the children and their families prior to shopping alongside them for clothes and toys at Madisonville's Wal-Mart location. What's more, the officers also escort the children and their families to Capitol 8 Theatre to watch a special holiday film after the shopping is over.
While at the event around 7:30am, December 10th, SurfKY News spoke with MPD officers who were volunteering, FOP volunteers/organizers, and some of the children who were shopping to find out the impact of the program.
A longtime volunteer with the program, MPD Lieutenant Robert Carter, explained that the event gives the police department a great opportunity to interact with the area youth face-to-face while also providing a valuable service. Yet, as he noted, the program wouldn't have been possible without the strong support the community provides year after year.
"We want all of the readers and community members to know that we thank them for helping out. Because of your generous support, we have more kids participating in the program this year than ever before," said Lt. Carter. "It's great getting to be a part of something that has such a positive impact on our youth and I hope we receive the same great support that we always have in the years to come."
In total, both Lt. Carter and the program's chief organizer of 17 years—former FOP President Jerry Robards—stated that a total of over 300 kids applied to participate in the event this year. Of that total, a record-breaking 111 underprivileged children received $125 of in-store credit each. As Robards and Lt. Carter explained, $100 will go toward necessities like clothing, while the remaining $25 will be used to find an age-appropriate gift such as a video game, doll, or similar item for each of the children.
Once at the Capital 8 Theatre, where the participants will view a film called Arthur Christmas, officials say that they will pick up popcorn, candy, and drinks for each of the children and their families. Additionally, Santa Clause will be making a special stop before the movie to take pictures with the children. The photos will be developed while the participants are wathcing the movie and will be presented to them as they are leaving, said Robards.
Three local youths who shopped alongside Lt. Carter during today's event—Brayden Payne, 7; Javan Todd, 11; and Timothy Nelson, 8—said they were excited to be shopping and hanging out with the police officers, and each took the time to say "Thank you."
"Shopping with the cops is really cool," said Brayden. "It's really nice for them to do this for us."
Other than buying "a lot of clothing," the boys said that they were hoping to pick up an item called "Dr. Jeff's Zombie Lab" with their remaining $25.
On the impact of the program, organizer Jerry Robards explained that, "This is the most enjoyable time of the year for a lot of these guys out here volunteering, because they're getting to help people one-on-one. A lot of the volunteers are not only helping financially, but they're going around with the people and getting to know their stories on more of a personal level. This event also lets the kids see the police officers in a good light. In fact, I've had appreciative people come back in their teens and early twenties and tell me that they remember being a part of the 'Shop With a Cop' program."
"This is the biggest turnout with 111 kids participating this year and, with that in mind, we simply can't thank everyone in the community enough for their support," added Robards.
Though the local FOP's "Shop With a Cop" Program is over for the year, the organization collects funding for the charity-based program all year long. So, if you're interested in donating, simply send a check or money order with "Shop With a Cop" in the memo line to the following address:

Radwanska Proves Mettle with Breakout Wimbledon
By Chris Oddo
Photo Credit: Clive Rose/ Getty
(July 7, 2012)— She may have
lost in today's final
, but the first Polish player to reach a Grand Slam final in 73 years certainly made a strong statement at
Even her opponent, the accomplished
Serena Williams
, took time to acknowledge that fact. "You guys should give her another round of applause," Serena said, moments after slipping past Radwanska in a tricky three-set final. "She's amazing."
The Centre Court faithful responded with a roar that didn't want to die.
It was a moment of heartfelt and well-deserved appreciation for
Agnieszka Radwanska
, a player who has made inspiring strides in 2012, winning three titles and now reaching a Grand Slam final and the No. 2 ranking in the world.
Radwanska, 23, had never advanced past the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam
until this week
, but her stingy effort against Angelique Kerber in Thursday's semifinal proved she's capable of a big-match mentality.
That bulldog mentality was on display against Serena Williams today, as Radwanska engineered a determined comeback to nearly pull off one of the biggest upset shocks in Wimbledon history.
That she fell short doesn't in any way diminish her accomplishments for the fortnight.
Not known for power, there is an underlying spirit of industriousness in Radwanska's game. She finds countless and creative ways to defuse her bigger, stronger opponents with whipsmart strokes and freakishly soft hands; she curls and flicks balls into corners, dangles slices that cling to the grass; she smacks down-the-line backhand winners and opens up angles with the best of them. And while she may lack power, Radwanska does not lack a finishing touch.
She's also a classic underdog. Radwanska is 123 pounds dripping wet, and she's not blessed with the grace of a
Justine Henin
or the snap of a
Monica Seles
. Still, she regularly scores knockout blows against the girls that Mary Carillo once coined as "Big Babes."
In an age of academy-trained baseline bashers, Radwanska is the antidote to the hyper-physical, repetitive brand of tennis employed by many of today's young phemons. She's an improvisational player that makes tennis look creative. There is a back-yard feel to her strokes, and her personality shows up when she swings.
Today, playing for her first Grand Slam title, she was undaunted by the aura of Centre Court--a task that has been proved to be Herculean for many.
In the end, when the dust settled and Williams had stamped the match
with her latest claim to greatness,
let loose the type of emotion that has made her so endearing to so many fans this season.
"I'm still shaking so much," said the down-to-earth Radwanska, elated in spite of the defeat, and close to tears. "I think I had the best two weeks of my life."
It was a rare glimpse into the heart of an athlete, as genuine as they come.
Players like to talk tough about how coming in second place is akin to coming in last, but in Radwanska's case you can throw that faulty logic out the window.
For Radwanska and for Poland, second place was a huge victory. It should be celebrated as such.

|College Basketball Preview: Penn at North Carolina
|Written by TheSpread
|Wednesday, 03 January 2007 04:20
Bettors and Tar Heels Expecting Blowout Tonight Against Pennsylvania
Team Page: Pennsylvania :: North Carolina
89% of Bets Placed on Tar Heels -23 | Matchup | CBB Picks
The second-ranked Tar Heels look for another blowout victory when they host Penn on Wednesday in their final nonconference home game of the season.
Oddsmakers have made North Carolina -23 point spread favorites
(College Basketball Odds) for todays game, the over/under has been set at 158.5 total points (View College Basketball Sports Books).
North Carolina (12-1) has won nine straight since its only loss, an 82-74 defeat to Gonzaga in the NIT Season Tip-Off on Nov. 22. The last six victories have come by at least 20 points, including an 81-51 rout of Dayton on Sunday.
The Tar Heels, who are 8-0 at home, have held their last five opponents under 37 percent shooting.
``They're working really hard in practice,'' North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. ``They're starting to take more pride in what they're doing defensively. Each and every day, they're understanding more what the defensive end of the floor can mean for them.
``When you're holding teams to (22 percent shooting) in the first half, you're going to be OK regardless of what you do on the offensive end.''
After allowing more than 80 points to four of their first six opponents, the Tar Heels haven't given up more than 69 in any of the last seven games and they've held the past four opponents to 52 or less.
``We're starting to realize our potential and understanding when we execute offensively and defensively what this team is capable of,'' sophomore Marcus Ginyard said. ``At the beginning of the year, people who were winning (the team's) defensive award were winning by nine, 10 or 11 good plays on defense. And now they're winning by two or three. It's really starting to show.''
The defensive improvement has come just in time with the Tar Heels heading into conference play, as 11 of the 12 teams in the ACC are averaging at least 73 points per game. North Carolina hosts Florida State in its conference opener on Sunday.
``We can definitely feel it,'' freshman Brandan Wright said. ``There's not a lot of teams in this country that have 10 or 12 guys like we have. So practice is real competitive and we take pride in stopping people on defense and not letting guys score on us.''
After opening the season 4-2, Penn has won two of its last five games. The Quakers (6-5) have played only twice since Dec. 9, beating Illinois-Chicago 90-78 on Dec. 21, then losing 94-85 to Seton Hall two days later.
Penn has rebounded from slow starts the past two seasons to win the Ivy League title. The Quakers started 6-5 last year before going 12-2 in the conference. In 2004-05, Penn was 4-7 but went 13-1 to win the league.
The Quakers have lost 18 straight to ranked teams, including a 78-60 defeat to then-No. 20 Syracuse on Nov. 11. Penn is 36-32 against ACC schools.
North Carolina leads the all-time series 3-2, but the teams haven't met since the Tar Heels won 113-82 in the first round of the 1987 NCAA tournament. This is the first meeting in Chapel Hill and the first regularly scheduled game between the teams since 1948. The other four matchups came in tournaments.

Dear Editor:
Katie Solozano started quite a ruckus two weeks ago and I thank her for it.
I'm sure she has long known that Downey houses a plethora of "good Christian people" who will mask their homophobia with phrases like "I don't hate them, I just don't support them" or "They chose their lifestyle." Katie and I are present enough to realize that there is a very real oppression going on, and it's not within the Christian or straight community.
I am a Mexican-American queer woman and I will not support Chick-Fil-A. Obviously the citizens of Downey have every right to support Chick-Fil-A, and I don't think anyone actually thought they were going to remain empty because of their CEO's extremely homophobic stance, but it is my right to not support that establishment. This is the only lifestyle choice my opponents will be able to accuse me of correctly.
Let's add common sense about the presence of Chick-Fil-A in Downey to a hypothetical LGBTQA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and ally) celebration. I would like to see a LGBTQA celebration in Downey, and those who think it has no place in Downey should not attend the celebration. If you do not believe in gay marriage, don't have a gay marriage. Having an "opinion" about gay people is one thing, but donating a considerable amount of money to any hateful organization that targets and further oppresses the gay community is absolutely an act of homophobia and hatred. That is the issue I have with Chick-Fil-A.
If no one else in Downey will listen and have empathy and compassion, I want Katie Solozano to know she has an ally in me. I only hope the city of Downey will one day have a safe space for people like us.
Renee Montoya
Dear Editor:
Although I vehemently disagree with Katie Solozano suggesting that we need more garbage-producing fast-food chains in Downey period (such as McDonald's), she raised an important point regarding Chick-Fil-A's views on the LBGT community and its significance as a business in Downey.
Would Downey support a business entering the city if it were openly anti-African American, anti-Latin, anti-Asian, anti-Muslim or anti-Semetic? Would it support a business that was anti-women or misogynistic? I don't think so and my guess is it would raise a torch about how it upheld the ideals of civil rights.
When then, in the 21st century, does Solozano deserve to be chastised because she knows (and it's public information) that Chick-Fil-A openly discriminates against same-sex couples? Furthermore, what is wrong with having a gay pride parade or any celebration in Downey? Wouldn't having a celebration actually prove that the city welcomes and does not discriminate against groups from different backgrounds, creed or sexual orientation?
In response to Solozano, if you recall Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, the best action to show disapproval is to boycott and employ our First Amendment rights of freedom to assembly.
In response to the "good Christians," the only good God is an accepting God…a God that loves and embraces his/her children regardless of sexual orientation.

For the Daily Call
PIQUA — The State of Ohio has expressed a concern, along with other states, reasoning that a national educational standard is not equally representative of the nation's students' needs, successes or outcomes. Curriculum and classroom teaching methods vary widely across the United States. Because of past diverse teaching methods and standards across American, the United States doesn't even rank in the top 20 nations anymore in reading, math and science, according to a recent study by the Program for International Student Assessment. According to this study, 29 nations placed higher than the United States in those subjects.
Ohio has adopted the Common Core State Standards Initiative as a set of expectations which establish what students need to know at each grade level. The Buckeye State currently uses the Common Core Standards developed by a group within the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). Ohio is a member of PARCC and state members sits on that group's governing board.
What is the Common Core? Educational experts and teachers have been working for the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers explain that the Common Core "focuses on developing the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills students will need to be successful." As an example of what is expected under the Common Core standards, second- graders absolutely must know how to add and subtract by the end of the year and eighth-graders cannot move up without understanding linear algebra and linear functions.
Piqua City Schools has been working with the Common Core State Standards for three years according to Superintendent Rick Hanes. "The Common Core Standards came from a National Governors' Association at the time who were in favor of using it," Hanes said.
The Common Core State Standards were accepted across the United States as a clear, concise, understandable, and consistent order or learning and challenges whereby students nationwide will learn and be tested. As an example, students in California will learn and be tested on the same levels as those pupils in Maine. Also, the new standardized testing would be the same for all of the Common Core standards and subjects. Furthermore, specific states would not be able to give their own versions of tests to establish a national common base line. One of the criticisms in the past has been that some states have adopted an easier version of state tests to compare their children's learning with other states. However, by the adoption of Common Core, school districts and teachers nationwide would no longer be expected to do little more than teach to the test the entire year or be compared with other states who offer easier testing assessments. The Common Core standards are aligned with college and career expectations; a process, many educators and administrators feel, has been needed for a long time.
There are costs to school districts implementing the Common Core Standards but those costs are not any different than the expenses related to any new adopted state standards, according to Piqua's Superintendent Hanes. "Every five to eight years these are usually changes in the state's educational standards which include a district expense for resources, materials and teacher training," said Superintendent Hanes. Common Core Standards are no different.
"Graduation requirements have not changed under the Common Core Standards," added Superintendent Hanes. "Under federal law, the states have the responsibility for graduation requirements." Therefore, Common Core Standards and graduation requirements are not related because of federal law and state responsibilities.
Jeff Clark, principal of Piqua Junior High, reported that his building began preparing teachers for the transition to Common Core by utilizing their curriculum department. "The curriculum department began teaching the staff years ago in order to change over and merge with Common Core," Clark said. "The difference the parents will see is that Common Core standards cause students to work on a deeper level of learning concepts."
Piqua's Junior High principal reported that the school had completed some piloting of the programs to examine results before Common Core became effective in the district. What they realized from those test programs was that they have a tremendous challenge of constantly monitoring, documenting and tracking students with Common Core Standards that was not as ambitious in the old regulations of standards. Additionally, Clark noted that the old system of standards of monitoring student success required more standards which caused students and teachers stress because there wasn't enough time in a given school year to cover all of those numerous standards. Common Core Standards are fewer in number but go more in depth in learning concepts, establishing meaning and understanding methods and problem solvability.
Even though many consider Common Core as an improvement over No Child Left Behind, not everyone is in favor of the new standards. Reps. Matt Huffman (R-Lima) and Andy Thompson (R-Marietta) have introduced Ohio State House Bill HB 597, to voice their concerns about the national movement to implement a uniform educational standard in Ohio's classrooms. That bill is currently in the hearings process in the State House. Most of those concerns, by opponents of Common Core, express a loss of state control over a national set of core educational standards, beliefs, values and principles.

|Challenge: How to upgrade an already existing promotion for an awareness campaign to make it more effective and successful.
A non-profit organization whose mission it is to raise awareness for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) needed a way to better market their annual fundraising day. They were currently using red plastic clown-type noses, as the idea is to promote awareness through smiles and fun, yet many people found the noses uncomfortable and would take them off.
Solution: Upgrade the plastic noses and add more promotional items.
To solve the problem of the uncomfortable plastic nose, it was switched for an easy-to-wear foam nose. To add to the campaign, items such as imprinted pins, pens, coffee mugs and apparel were used. Even a stuffed version of the promotional mascot was created. All of these items were things that would not be as easily thrown away as a plastic nose, which means that the non-profit can continue to market itself long after the sun sets on the fundraising day.
Result: Sales for the non-profit increase dramatically.
As expected, the use of multiple promotional items helped the company immensely. Online sales, weekly sales and donations all increased past what was expected and topped all figures from previous years.

After the dust settled on the Fifth Region tournament, several Lady Knights were named to the Fifth Region tournament team. Freshman Makayla Epps took home Most Outstanding Player honors, averaging 22 points per game during a three game stretch.
Sophomore Bre Elder, freshman Kyvin Goodin-Rogers, junior Brooke Roberts and freshman Makayla Epps were named to the Fifth Region All-Tournament team.
Epps, Roberts and Goodin-Rogers took home player of the game awards during the first round, semifinals and finals.
In a battle between two top 10 teams, Marion County looks to escape the first round unscathed in their regular season rematch with Mercy Academy (23-8).
In their last battle, the Lady Knights used a strong second half to thump Mercy 69-53 at the Roby Dome. Freshman Kyvin Goodin-Rogers had a breakout game with 25 points, 16 rebounds and six blocks.
After the dust settled on the 20th District tournament, several Lady Knights were named to the regular season and postseason all-district teams.
Marion County High School junior Ann Morgan Reynolds was named to the 20th District All-Academic team along with others from Adair, Taylor and Campbellsville.
Sophomore Bre Elder, freshman Kyvin Goodin-Rogers and freshman Makayla Epps were named to the 20th District All-Season team as well as the All-Tournament team.
Also named to the All-Tournament team were freshman Patrice Tonge and senior Andrea King.
Now the real season begins.
After bowing out in the Fifth Region final last season, on the brink of the state tournament, this Lady Knights team looks to make a title run through the Fifth Region tournament.
For Marion County (30-1), that run began against North Hardin (13-13) on Monday night in Hart County. The Lady Knights won 59-38 after only leading 27-23 at the half. Makayla Epps walked away with player of the game honors.
Marion County High School girl's basketball Head Coach Trent Milby was recently named as the Fifth Region Coaches Association Coach of the Year.
Milby has led his team to a 30-1 record and their fourth consecutive district title as of press time. The Lady Knights are currently the favorite heading into the Fifth Region tournament and, if they survive, will be the likely favorite heading into the state tournament.
0 0 0
After swirling rumors for at least the last two seasons, Marion County High School administrators fired Tim Peterson as the boy's basketball head coach on Friday.
Peterson, who has been under heavy scrutiny over several seasons, wasn't shocked at the decision.
"I had a feeling back in the middle of January. Things weren't going well and we couldn't pull out of our skid," Peterson said. "From then on out I was just trying to turn it around."
For the first time in his coaching career at Marion County, baseball Head Coach Chad Spalding had to cancel try outs last week due to snow.
In 14 years, snow has never messed with baseball tryouts.
Due to the set backs, Spalding still had one day of tryouts earlier this week.
"Lack of gym availability makes it tough to finish up try outs. We want to give the kids a fair chance," Spalding said.
Spalding said he'd rather see the players show off their skills outdoors but the weather has been a deciding factor.
A promising start to the regular season ended Saturday night at Bryan Station as the Marion County Knights lost their fourth in a row and their 15th in the last 17 games.
Knights senior Austin Spalding missed three of the last four games, all of which the Knights struggled. Junior Kendrick Knopp, one of the state's best three point shooters, also missed the East Jessamine game.
Marion County senior Austin Spalding capped off a solid season by being selected to the 16-member All Region team.
Spalding joins Fifth Region stars such as Bryton Taylor, Deshawn Curtis, Kyle Sandusky, Roosevelt Emerson and James Berry on the list.
Campbellsville cleaned up this year with senior Bryton Taylor earning Player of the Year honors and Tim Davis winning the Coach of the Year award.
Spalding finished the regular season averaging 16.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The Research on Early Life and Aging Trends and Effects (RELATE) study compiles cross-national data that contain information that can be used to examine the effects of early life conditions on older adult health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, functionality, mortality, and self-reported health. The complete cross sectional/longitudinal dataset (n=147,278) was compiled from major studies of older adults or households across the world that in most instances are representative of the older adult population either nationally, in major urban centers, or in provinces. It includes over 180 variables with information on demographic and geographic variables along with information about early life conditions and life course events for older adults in low, middle and high income countries. Selected variables were harmonized to facilitate cross national comparisons. In this first public release of the RELATE data, a subset of the data (n=88,273) is being released. The subset includes harmonized data of older adults from the following regions of the world: Africa (Ghana and South Africa), Asia (China, India), Latin America (Costa Rica, major cities in Latin America), and the United States (Puerto Rico, Wisconsin). This first release of the data collection is composed of 19 downloadable parts: Part 1 includes the harmonized cross-national RELATE dataset, which harmonizes data from parts 2 through 19. Specifically, parts 2 through 19 include data from Costa Rica (Part 2), Puerto Rico (Part 3), the United States (Wisconsin) (Part 4), Argentina (Part 5), Barbados (Part 6), Brazil (Part 7), Chile (Part 8), Cuba (Part 9), Mexico (Parts 10 and 15), Uruguay (Part 11), China (Parts 12, 18, and 19), Ghana (Part 13), India (Part 14), Russia (Part 16), and South Africa (Part 17).

This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. In the fall of 1993, the entering 1st graders in nine Baltimore City, Maryland public elementary schools were recruited for participation in a randomized trial of two universal, preventive interventions. Both interventions targeted the early antecedent risk behaviors of poor academic achievement and aggressive/coercive behavior and their distal correlates: substance abuse/dependence, antisocial behavior, high risk sexual behavior, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and psychiatric symptoms and disorders. One intervention, the classroom-centered intervention (CC), sought to reduce the early risk behaviors of poor achievement and aggressive/coercive behaviors through the enhancement of classroom curricula and teacher instructional and behavior management practices. The second intervention, the family-school partnership intervention (FSP), sought to reduce these early risk behaviors by improving parent-teacher/school mental health professional collaboration and by enhancing parents' teaching and behavior management skills. The participating students and 1st grade teachers were randomly assigned to either the CC or FSP classroom-level conditions or to a control or standard setting classroom. The participating students' outcomes were assessed from the fall of 1st grade through 12th grade. Annual outcome assessments continued following high school through age ~ 26. Data from participating students' self-report of substance use and its putative mediators and moderators in 8th through 12th grade are available in this dataset. The principal investigator withheld the intervention status variable that distinguishes the intervention groups from the control group. You may contact the Principal investigator to discuss obtaining the intervention variable. This dataset contains variables on frequency of respondents' substance use during the respondents' lifetime as well as in the year, month, week prior to the survey. In addition, the dataset contains variables on alcohol consumption. The dataset also contains variables on the respondents' perceptions of the availability and harmfulness of substances. Respondents were also asked about perception of how many of his/her friends used drugs as well as their attitudes towards drug use, including personal disapproval of drug use, and perceived attitudes of parents and friends towards the respondents' drug use. Respondents were asked whether and how often they were offered substances to use and their intention to use substances if offered in the future. Substances asked about include tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin, ecstasy, and inhalants. This dataset contains 1535 variables and 713 respondents. The only demographic variables in this dataset are race and gender.

Effects of size, age and photoperiod on hypoosmoregulation in brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis
McCormick, Stephen Daniel
Citable URI:
Riviere a la Truite, Quebec; Matamek River
Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) raised from eggs under two photoperiod and two feeding regimes were tested for physiological changes preparatory for transition from freshwater to seawater. Size, age, growth rate, photoperiod, and diel rhythms were examined for possible influences on plasma osmolarity, [Na+], [Cl-], [K+], [Mg2+], thyroxine concentration, hematocrit, and gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity of brook trout in freshwater. Significant diel cycles were found in plasma osmolarity, (Na+] and thyroxine concentration. Significant size and/or age related changes occurred for plasma osmolarity, [Na+], [K+] and hematocrit, but could explain little of their total variation (0.02 < r2 <0.18). A sexually dimorphic response to photoperiod was observed in hematocrit for both mature and immature fish, with hematocrit of mature females declining in autumn and hematocrit of immature males increasing in autumn. Gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity did not respond to photoperiod or feeding treatment and showed no change with size or age. Plasma thyroxine levels responded to feeding and photoperiod treatment. There was a significant correlation between the percent mean difference in plasma thyroxine and the mean difference in growth rate between high and low feed fish (r2 = 0.51), suggesting a relationship between thyroxine and growth. In 11 experiments over 1.5 yrs, brook trout were gradually exposed to 32 ppt seawater for 20 d to investigate the ontogeny of salinity tolerance. A single experiment examined daily changes in plasma osmolarity, [Na+], [Cl-], [K+], [Mg2+], thyroxine, hematocrit and gill Na+,K+-ATPase during adaptation to 10 ppt, 20 ppt and 32 ppt. Size was the primary determinant of seawater survival (r2 = 0.77); the effect of size on seawater survival slowed after fish reached a fork length of 14 cm. The effect of age on seawater. survival (r2 = 0.65) was through its covariance with size. Photoperiod affected seawater survival only through its influence on the timing of male maturation, which decreased salinity tolerance. Hypoosmoregulation of plasma osmolarity, [Na+], [Cl-], [K+], [Mg2+] and hematocrit increased linearly with size over the entire range of sizes (6-32 cm). Gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity after 20 d in seawater decreased with increasing size of brook trout, possibly reflecting decreased demand for active ion transport in larger fish. Plasma thyroxine concentrations generally declined in seawater, but no definitive role of this hormone in seawater adaptation was found. Size dependent survival and osmoregulatory ability of brook trout is compared to other salmonids and a conceptual model is developed. Decreased salinity tolerance and hypoosmoregulatory ability was found in mature male brook trout and was not found in females or immature males. Lowered salinity tolerance of adult males becomes acute during autumn photoperiod when normal spawning occurs. Plasma [Cl-], [Mg2+], osmolarity and hematocrit are significantly higher in mature males after transfer to seawater, relative to mature females. It is postulated that reduced adult male hypoosmoregulatory ability explains skewed sex ratios in anadromous populations, limits the extent of anadromy, and was a significant phase in the evolution of extended salmonid migration. Anadromous brook trout of Riviere a la Truite, Quebec, were examined for physiological changes associated with salmonid smoltification, and compared to non-anadromous brook trout of the Matamek River. There were no significant differences in plasma thyroxine concentration, gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity, hematocrit or osmoregulatory ability of anadromous and non-anadromous brook trout. Moisture content was significantly different between fish from the two river systems, but had the same pattern of declining moisture content as summer progressed. Silver coloration of brook trout in Riviere a la Truite was significantly associated with larger fish and higher gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity, but not with changes in plasma thyroxine, moisture content, hematocrit or condition factor. Silver coloration was absent in Matamek River brook trout. Brook trout at high salinity estuarine sites had significantly greater gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity and hypoosmoregulatory ability than brook trout at low salinity sites. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in high salinity estuarine sites had significantly higher plasma thyroxine and gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity than brook trout. The results indicate that smoltification is relatively undeveloped in brook trout and that estuarine residence is important in salinity adaptation and eventual seaward migration.

After a fifth-place finish in the June 5 RTN True North Handicap (gr. III) at Belmont Park, Sage Valley looks to get back to winning ways in the $100,000 James Marvin Handicap (gr. III) July 19 at Saratoga.
Multiple graded stakes winner Data Link looks for his second victory of 2013 when he heads a field of seven turf horses going a mile in the $150,000 Poker Stakes (gr. IIIT), the Independence Day feature at Belmont Park.
Multiple stakes-winning Woodbine veterans Pender Harbour and Riding the River appear to be the most promising choices in a field of nine that are set for the June 23 King Edward Stakes Presented by TVG (Can-IIT).
After winning his previous start by more than 10 lengths, Souper Speedy found a different route to the winner's circle June 7 in the $147,000 Jaipur Stakes over a sloppy track at rainy Belmont Park.
Dynamic Sky recovered from a tough trip to win the $100,000 Pasco Stakes over stablemate Sky Commander Jan. 12 at Tampa Bay Downs, giving owner John Oxley and trainer Mark Casse consecutive scores in the race.
The Lumber Guy, whose big effort in the Xpressbet Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) last month produced a runner-up finish, heads a field of 10 sophomores for the $300,000 Malibu Stakes (gr. I) on opening day at Santa Anita.
Bill Farish Jr.'s Pool Play will be pointed toward the Clark Handicap Presented by Norton Healthcare (gr. I) Nov. 23 at Churchill Downs, but the 7-year-old might not be the only Clark starter for trainer Mark Casse.

After more than 20 years of planning and two years of pulling together an alliance of public and private financial support, 70 acres of prime bluffland along the Mississippi River have become the newest addition to Maplewood's green space.
The city has taken ownership of the parcel between Hwy. 61 and Interstate 694 for $2.2 million. It will be an integral part of the Fish Creek Natural Area Greenway that stretches from Carver Lake in Woodbury, through meadows and forests in Maplewood, to the Mississippi River in St. Paul.
It is a significant piece of land, a natural habitat adjacent to Ramsey County's 130-acre Fish Creek Open Space that eventually will lead to creation of a hiking trail along the creek, a hidden gem that everyone will soon be able to enjoy more fully, said DuWayne Konewko, director of Maplewood's Parks and Recreation Department.
The creek carves a narrow channel through bedrock, an area known locally as the Fish Creek Canyon.
Maplewood's purchase, he added, represents a true collaborative effort from diverse interests — and a commitment by Maplewood residents going back to 1993, when the city became the first in the nation to pass a referendum raising public money to purchase open space.
Maplewood had been interested in adding the Fish Creek property to its open space for the past 20 years, but it was privately owned and didn't come up for sale until 2011 — when prices had gone up considerably. The city still jumped at the chance to buy it, but needed time to line up the money, Konewko said.
"As you can imagine, fundraising is not an easy thing to do," he said, but the City Council was supportive. "The staff brought this idea to the council, and they said, 'Let's give it a shot.' They went with it right away."
The Conservation Fund, a nonprofit that supports environmental preservation and economic development, agreed to buy the property and hold on to it for two years until financing could be put together.
"When a community comes together like this, it shows how much they value open space and places to enjoy the great outdoors," said Clint Miller, field representative for the Conservation Fund.
$300,000 still needed
"It's been a long road," Konewko said, but the deadline helped push the effort along to gather public and private funds.
"Grants today are very competitive," he added. "Ten years ago, when you applied for a grant, you were kind of always assured of getting at least something. Now you can write grant after grant, and you never know. The landscape has changed considerably."
In the end, the $2.2 million was raised from several sources: Ramsey County and the city each contributed $425,000; the 3M Foundation (the company is based in Maplewood) donated $200,000; the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District added $175,000; a grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources added $500,000, and the Friends of the Mississippi and other private groups also made donations.
The city is not quite over the hump, and still needs roughly $300,000 to complete the deal, Konewko said.
The city is hoping to get the last chunk from the Legislature in its bonding bill next session. Like many other projects in the last session, it was taken off the funding list.
Now that the city has the land, Konewko said, it can begin putting into place plans that began in 2010 by a new city commission overseeing the greenway. Twenty acres of the property will be deeded over to Ramsey County; the remainder will be jointly managed by the city and county, including the development of the new trails.

Life after 'American Idol'
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Last night, Sept. 21, was the final leg of the "American Idol" Live! Tour. Held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, it was the last time—for now—that the Top 10 of the latest season of the popular show were working together.
So now what?
Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips is currently working on his debut album. He said that he got all the songs already, that he was working more on production. "My album would be out by the beginning of December so I'm excited about that," Phillip announced, adding that he also couldn't wait to perform live. "I'm more of a 'live' guy. I like playing out loud, although I'm scared to, but it's where I feel more at home."
Runner-up Jessica Sanchez, on the other hand, is also working on an album that is scheduled for release this December. She added, "I'm actually staying here in the Philippines, after they leave, for a couple of endorsement deals." Bench and Jollibee have signed her up to be an endorser. We're all wondering, however, what other brands she will be endorsing.
Colton Dixon proudly said that he would also have an album, due for release early next year, and that a song he performed on tour would be on iTunes and that another song would hit the airwaves on Oct. 19, his birthday. Funny guy Heejun Han is also working on his own album under a Korean company—a Korean channel is even filming a reality TV show around it.
A lot of the Idols are working on their own materials, like Elise Testone and Skylar Laine. Skylar said, "I've been writing a lot. I've been writing every single time. I write in my room, I write all the time. When I was in LA and we had some time off before coming to the Philippines, I had a lot to cowrite so in the next couple of months, we're actually going to get a demo and find a label. I've been writing 24/7."
There is one Idol, however, who isn't writing his own stuff. "I can't write because I'm horrible at it!" Joshua Ledet candidly said. "I'm actually recording in LA after this so we're still trying to find the right label for me, but everything's looking good so far."
Handsome DeAndre Brackensick is definitely pursuing a musical career after the tour even if he knows the genre he's in isn't that mainstream. "I know what I sing is not popular, but I'm trying to push it forward the best that I can," said the reggae/R&B singer. "One day I'll be there, but I'm going to push for it."
Hollie Cavanagh has a plan to make sure her career becomes successful: "Just work hard after the tour and take advantage of the exposure we have now," she said, adding that she had her eyes on an album or even just a single in the near future.
The pink-haired Erika Van Pelt believes that they all have talent and they all have drive. "That's the thing about this group, everyone's really motivated to do their own thing so hopefully you guys are going to be hearing from us when we're done with the tour."
We hope so, too.

Stefano Colantuono has claimed he is happy to stay at Atalanta until 2017, and has revealed his transfer strategy for the summer.
It was announced last month that the Dea Coach had agreed an extension to stay in Bergamo for another three years.
And the tactician has revealed his delight at remaining with the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia outfit.
"The review of our season last time out is a very positive one," he told Corriere di Bergamo.
"The second part of the season especially gave us great satisfaction.
"I think the first objective for us this summer is to find a striker to support German Denis.
"I haven't actually signed yet, but I have the President's word. I'm delighted to stay here until 2017. For me, Bergamo is a very special place."

The working title of this film was The Young and the Damned. Although the opening credits include a 1959 copyright statement to Brigadier Pictures, Inc., the film was not registered for copyright at the time of its release. The onscreen credit for the hairstylist was partially illegible on the viewed print; only "Jeannette Mar" could be discerned.
According to a January 6, 1959 Hollywood Reporter news item, the role of "Carrie Anders" was originally set for Venetia Stevenson. Although January 1959 Hollywood Reporter news items add Thomas B. Henry and Linda Gibson to the cast, their appearance in the final film has not been confirmed. Variety reported in April 1960 that Robert Roark had independently produced The Girl in Lovers Lane, which Roger Corman's production company, The Filmgroup, then acquired for distribution.

Sometimes they win one.
I'm at the local auto show, and as the wife and I are fast walking through the conversion van section (people still buy those stupid things?) there is a corner with a Ducati display. I've never really looked at Ducatis, and a very pretty Multistrada is right out front. I stop. My wife looks at me puzzled. I feel the trickle of saliva start at the corner of my mouth.
Then I see the price tag.
$20,000! That curbs the drool flow and I get ready to move on, but the sole sales rep catches me and we talk bikes for a bit. I of course explain that, being a former KLR rider and now astride a Wee Strom that a bike of this magnitude is something I can only afford to think about while in my dark man-cave with a glass of Tennessee Honey in my hand. He chuckles and says his offer for me to come ride it still stands. His philosophy is, even if I can't afford one, I may wax endlessly to some friend who can. "Come and ride it whenever you want." We talk more, and it turns out they also conveniently sell Suzuki...are nearly equidistant from my home as the Other Dealer that I loathe and spit at as I ride by...and would be more than happy to do my annual state inspection while I wait with no appointment. How did I not know this place existed?
I was pretty sure I dream't this, but the brochure and card from the guy are still here on my desk, so I guess it's real.

The cheapest place I've found them is directly from EVGA. $239.99 Free Ground Shipping for Continental U.S.
Has anyone found a cheaper price for this particular card with the "AR" suffix?
