How Klan Lawyer Sam Dickson Got Rich
The former Klan lawyer from Atlanta has always been interested in money. What's remarkable is how he's been able to earn it.
by Alexander Zaitchik
Deborah Hobson has seen Dickson the Bull charge. In 1993, Hobson's mother and father died within a month of each other. They left no will, but Hobson didn't think she needed a piece of paper to tell her that she and her two sisters had rights to her mother's "shotgun shack" at 76 Ormond Street in southwest Atlanta. Hobson paid the taxes on the land until 1995, when she fell behind. In September, 2003, Sam Dickson bought the tax deed on the south Atlanta property for $7,000.
Here began Deborah Hobson's self-described "nightmare."
Within days of acquiring the deed, Dickson approached Hobson about buying her interest in the property. She was entertaining the idea of selling, she says, until she realized that Dickson had no intention of offering anything near fair market value; his first offer was $1,500 on a lot worth between $35,000 and $60,000. She told him that she did not want to sell the land. Instead, she would try to pull together the money needed to redeem the tax deed and retain all her pre-existing rights to the property, possibly by cracking open her 401(k) account.
That's not what Sam Dickson wanted to hear. Hobson says that he stepped up pressure on her and her sisters to sell the property at once, telling them to forget ever trying to pay his bill. Unable to convince Deborah Hobson, Dickson began contacting her sisters independently, playing one off the other, whispering that their family spokesperson in the matter, Deborah, did not have their best interest at heart and was costing them money.
At one point, Dickson even tracked down a Hobson sister at the hospital where she was being treated for a head injury. He suggested he come down and she sign the papers then and there.
"When we refused to sell, he got aggressive. He was relentless. I felt like I was being stalked," remembers Deborah Hobson. "I considered trying to get my Cingular Wireless records and suing him for harassment."
"He'd leave these threatening letters on my door," says Hobson. "They'd say, 'I know you're bitter because you lost your land, but you aren't going to get it back so you might as well take what you can get.' It was like, how dare we question him! He's a liar and a snake in the grass."
Worn down and eager to be rid of Dickson, the Hobson sisters hired a lawyer to sell their property to someone else. The other buyer offered them more than Dickson — but still less than what the property was worth — but by then money was no longer the sisters' main concern.
"It got so ugly that we took the path of least resistance," explains Deborah Hobson. "We still didn't get fair market value, but I would have given it away just to keep that evil man from getting his hands on my mother's house."
It was after months of dealing with Dickson and his associates that Hobson learned of her suitor's Klan connections and extreme views on race. After running an Internet search on Dickson, she was furious and horrified.
"I started to have nightmares about him," she says. "I couldn't believe this man was coming to my home, that I ever talked business with him. It will always haunt me."
Weaned on Hate
Samuel Glasgow Dickson was born in Atlanta in 1947, the son of a Presbyterian minister. He was a precocious, right-wing youth. At 14 years old, he argued against the integration of his liberal Presbyterian Church; by 16, he had become an active Goldwater conservative -- anti-Communist and pro-states' rights. At the University of Georgia in the late '60s, Dickson was elected president of the Young Republicans and state chair of Young Americans for Freedom, a national Golderwaterite organization founded by William F. Buckley in 1960.
Dickson graduated from UGA Law in 1972 and set up a general practice in Atlanta. Throughout the '70s and '80s, Dickson would offer legal counsel to the Georgia Ku Klux Klan and establish relationships with white supremacists around the world, particularly in Britain. In 1978, he ran on a segregationist platform for lieutenant governor, garnering 11% of the vote.
Along with fighting liberals and integration at home, Dickson fought left-wing forces abroad. Most notably, he belonged to the Council on American Affairs, the American branch of the World Anti-Communist League, a global network of cold warriors that financed anti-left operations around the world. The league provided arms and cash to militias and rebel movements from Guatemala to Afghanistan, often outside the limits of U.S. and international law.
With the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, Dickson became what he calls "a great Russophile" and dedicated himself to the preservation and exaltation of the white race, under siege from Miami to Moscow. Freed from the trappings of American patriotism implicit in the cold warrior's pose, Dickson became a full-fledged antigovernment white nationalist.
Dickson's post-Cold War efforts to save the white race have consisted largely of intellectual exercises. Although he belongs to the Council of Conservative Citizens -- a hate group with ties to some elected GOP officials that is the contemporary incarnation of the pro-segregation White Citizens Councils -- and was a close personal friend of the late leader of the far-right British National Party, John Tyndall, Dickson himself prefers the lectern and the study to the soapbox. (Occasionally, though, he will still take to the courtroom. In 1996, he filed a suit against an Atlanta suburb that sought to ban the flying of the Confederate stars and bars during a parade associated with the Olympics.)
Dickson also has had a long association with Holocaust denial organizations including membership on the editorial board of The Barnes Review, a journal that specializes in that topic.
His most regular appearances over the last 15 years have been his lectures at the biannual conference of American Renaissance, the journal addressing "racial differences and their consequences," launched by Jared Taylor in 1991. The pseudo-academic monthly gives a genteel sheen and articulate voice to what is essentially a racist vision of ethnically "pure" states. Dickson's keynote AR speech of May 2006 bemoaned the state of crisis in which the white race found itself, nowhere more so than in America.
"There comes a time," declared Dickson, "when the crisis is such that only a Corsican lieutenant can restore things." (The reference is to Napoleon Bonaparte, who crowned himself emperor of France.) Dickson went on to argue that his "old friend" David Duke's strong showing in the 1991 Louisiana governor's race — "better than Hitler" -- during a period of relative prosperity bodes well. We merely await, Dickson said, an economic catastrophe: "The worse the better. Let the bad times roll. That will be our opportunity."
When the bad times roll, they are unlikely to hurt Sam Dickson much. According to Fulton County records, the list of liens in Dickson's name totals more than 200. That fact will do much to keep him out of harm's way when the white race's catastrophic "opportunity" rolls around.
To be exact, it will place him in Key West, Fla., where Dickson owns a home and plans to retire.
But not just yet.

|South Korean parents' goals, knowledge, practices, and needs regarding music education for young children
|Youm, Hyun Kyung
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The purpose of this study was to explore South Korean parents' understanding of and desires for music education for their children. Following a constructivist paradigm and qualitative research methodology, data collection involved in-depth interviews, observations, written questionnaires, family musical materials, and the researcher's journals. The participants were 22 South Korean parents whose children (younger than 5 years old) attended music programs in the Seoul metropolitan area. Data were analyzed by coding, description, constant comparison, inductive analysis, contextualization, negative case analysis, classification, and interpretation. To ensure the trustworthiness of this study, the researcher conducted triangulation, member checks, peer debriefings, and cross-checking of translations. Analyses revealed that parents' goals for their children's participation in music programs included facilitating the child's development, enriching the child's life, preparing for future learning, and providing the opportunity to play through music. With respect to their knowledge about music education, parents described the music programs according to the activities they observed or experienced, but they did not show deeper understanding about a program's philosophy or history. Findings related to family music practices indicated that the primary activities were singing, listening to music, playing instruments, and dancing/movement. In describing their needs, parents expressed the desire to learn musical skills and knowledge not only for their children, but also for themselves. The findings of this study imply the necessity of education for parents of young children relating to a variety of aspects of children's music education.

In Re Gault
Gerald Gault, a 15-year-old boy, was taken into the SheriffÌs custody after a complaint that he had made a lewd telephone call. No notice of the SheriffÌs custody was given to GeraldÌs parents until his mother went to the detention home and was notified orally that he was there for making an obscene phone call. The following day, the deputy sheriff filed a petition in the juvenile court but did not serve a copy on GeraldÌs parents. Furthermore, the petition was void of any factual basis for judicial action, stating only that he was a juvenile delinquent. During the hearing, no witness was sworn, no counsel for Gerald was present, and the officer stated that Gerald admitted to making the lewd remarks after questioning, although GeraldÌs parents had never been present for any questioning nor had Gerald or his parents been advised of GeraldÌs right to remain silent or to be represented by counsel. Gerald was ordered committed to stateÌs custody as a juvenile delinquent until he reached the age of majority.
Constitutional Issue
In this case, the Court considered whether the Due Process Clause applies to juvenile delinquency proceedings. In its analysis, the Court considered the realities of juvenile court and behaviors:
"In view of this, it would be extraordinary if our Constitution did not require the procedural regularity and the exercise of care implied in the phrase "due process." Under our Constitution, the condition of being a boy does not justify a kangaroo court. The traditional ideas of Juvenile Court procedure, indeed, contemplated that time would be available and care would be used to establish precisely what the juvenile did and why he did it -- was it a prank of adolescence or a brutal act threatening serious consequences to himself or society unless corrected?"
Building on the Gideon decision, the Court extended to children the same rights as adults by providing counsel to the indigent child in delinquency proceedings: ÏWe conclude that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment requires that in respect of proceedings to determine delinquency which may result in commitment to an institution in which the juvenileÌs freedom is curtailed, the child and his parents must be notified of the childÌs right to be represented by counsel retained by them, or if they are un able to afford counsel, that counsel will be appointed to represent the child.Ó

Some of my happiest memories are of my dad and I singing in the car. We didn't get along that much when I was growing up, but we did like music and we both could carry a tune.

It might seem annoying now, but you might just miss it one day. Just saying. :-)

The weather forecast for the evening of October 15, 1954 was simply "rain tonight." In fact, the hurricane was a devastating one. The storm swept from North Carolina up into Canada. In Toronto, Ontario, the official death count was 81, but it was probably much higher because the many people living in the ravines were not part of the census.
Penny Doucette was 8 years old on the night the storm raged in Toronto. She, her parents, and their elderly neighbor found themselves clinging to the roof of the house as they watched the house next door float away on the swollen Humber River. Augmenting the dramatic story are illustrations, archival photographs, and fascinating information about hurricanes: their causes, their history, and lore.
Published for the fiftieth anniversary of Hurricane Hazel, this is a valuable resource for young readers.
About the Author
Stevie Pitt's first children's book, Rain Tonight: A Tale of Hurricane Hazel, was nominated for the Silver Birch, Red Cedar, and Rocky Mountain awards. He has been published in many magazines and newspapers, including Toronto Life, Canadian Family, the Globe and Mail, and the Toronto Star. Currently he lives in Toronto.
Heather Collins has been illustrating children's books for more than 20 years. Her body of work includes many nonfiction books, such as the award-winning A Pioneer Story and Out Came the Sun. She lives in Toronto, Ontario, with her husband and two children.

Winter Is…
Winter is magical with crystal trees and marshmallow hills as snowflakes fall to gently kiss your lips. Isn't this a beautiful time of year? Here are a few photos of what winter means to me, a few of my own combined with those of my lovely Flickr friends. I hope you enjoy this composition of winter's highlights.

"Wide, sparkling fields snow-vestured lie, beneath a blue, unshadowed sky; A glistening splendor crowns the woods and bosky, whistling solitudes; In hemlock glen and reedy mere, the tang of frost is sharp and clear; Life hath a jollity and zest, A poignancy made manifest; Laughter and courage have their way, at noontide of a winter's day." – Lucy Maud Montgomery.

SDSU's Quinn has scholarship, and chance
For that, he can thank a 4th-grade teacher in Inglewood.
Deanna Quinn had saved money to get through the summers, and for the inevitable rainy day. She didn't necessarily agree with how her son chose Northridge, with little research or feedback from the adults around him, without waiting to see if other interested schools – Long Beach State, UC Santa Barbara, Virginia Tech – would tender a scholarship offer.
But she also wired her only child to be his own man, to make his own decisions, to learn from them.
"I have faith in his independence and his decisions," she said. "It's a learning process. That's what I tried to teach him. I knew he could make it to a higher program. I needed him to get that confidence back. I think he lost that a little bit at Northridge."
So mother told son to transfer to the bigger stage without a scholarship and without any guarantee of playing time. Take a risk. Don't live with regrets. She'd make it work.
She paid a good bit. His great grandmother paid some. They took out a student loan.
"It was a rocky road for me," Deanna Quinn said. "He doesn't know how difficult it was for me. It was a very stressful year … But I didn't want him to have to get a job. I told him to focus on books and basketball. Those were our two Bs: books and basketball. And his great grandmother said: 'And practice your 3s.'"
SDSU had an extra scholarship for 2013-14 and offered it to Quinn, although there may not be another for him next season now that the Aztecs have commitments from four high school prospects and four available scholarships.
"Last year, I talked to her every day," Quinn said. "Like, really, every day. I called her and asked how she was doing. We really became closer. I'd just tell her how my day was going, and I'd tell her how much I appreciate what she was doing for me."

A limited sale of leftover tickets for all home games except Arizona and UNLV begins Monday at 9 a.m. at GoAztecs.com, Qualcomm Stadium's Window E or by calling (619) 283-7378. In most cases, each game available has fewer than 100 tickets, which are turnbacks from visiting team allocations.

The Changing Face of Evangelism
Evangelism in America in 2008 doesn't conjure up images of Billy Sunday, or even Billy Graham. Like a lot of other popular forms of mass communication - movie musicals, TV Westerns and competing city newspapers, to name a few - crusade evangelists aren't as prevalent or widely known as before.
Evangelism In The Workplace
Passive outreach opportunities can actually be more effective in business situations when confrontational or more direct presentations of the Gospel are not readily received. Check out this article to give you a few creative ideas...

Additional analysis showed this connection was only significant for white children and teens. The findings were similar for boys and girls. The association was not connected to similar chemicals used in sunscreens, soaps and other products, the investigators found.
BPA is nearly everywhere, Trasande said. According to study background information, nearly 93 percent of Americans aged 6 and older have detectable BPA levels in their urine.
Another expert commented on the new findings, noting that they do not prove that the chemical causes obesity.
"Like all observational studies looking at associations, this one cannot prove cause and effect," said Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center.
"It is possible that BPA is actually a cause of obesity. It could also just be a marker of, for instance, a diet made up of more processed foods that are the actual cause," he said.
It's also worth noting that obesity rates were substantial even among those in the study group with the lowest level of BPA exposure, Katz said.
An industry spokesman said there's no tie between obesity and BPA and he discounted the new findings.
"Attempts to link our national obesity problem to minute exposures to chemicals found in common, everyday products are a distraction from the real efforts under way to address this important national health issue," said Steven Hentges, of the Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group of the American Chemistry Council.
"Due to inherent, fundamental limitations in this study, it is incapable of establishing any meaningful connection between BPA and obesity," Hentges said. "In particular, the study measures BPA exposure only after obesity has developed, which provides no information on what caused obesity to develop."
Hentges added, "It is also relevant to note that dozens of studies have monitored the body weight of laboratory animals exposed to BPA. These studies found no co

Opening remarks at function to celebrate the centenary of the North Island main trunk
Grand Hall, Parliament, Wellington
6.00pm, Tuesday 5 August 2008
Deputy Prime Minister, Michael Cullen, Transport Minister Annette King, Ministerial colleagues, Members of Parliament, Cam Moore from OnTrack, Don Elder from Solid Energy, distinguished guests and train enthusiasts.
It gives me enormous pleasure to host this event tonight, marking the centenary of the completion of the North Island Main Trunk.
This was a major milestone in our history, It opened the way for the development and settlement of the central North Island and revolutionised the flow of freight and passengers.
It also put New Zealand firmly in the sights of the international rail community, who today still look at some features like the Raurimu Spiral with admiration. The Raurimu Spiral is impressive in anyone's book. It is not for the faint-hearted, using two tunnels, three horseshoe curves and a complete circle to navigate the steep descent from National Park to Raurimu.
The main trunk has connections with Parliament, which explains why we are all here tonight. No, I'm not referring to tunnels, horseshoe curves and complete circles …. although after a week in the House like the last.
The Parliament Special was the first passenger train to travel from Wellington to Auckland. It left Wellington at 10pm on 7 August 1908, carrying 200 passengers including 44 Parliamentarians. More than 20 hours later – 6.30pm on 8 August - it arrived in Auckland.
It pre-dated the completion of the North Island Main Trunk by three months. Typical Kiwi ingenuity led to temporary tracks being laid, so the train could take the MPs to Auckland to welcome the US Navy's 'Great White Fleet'.
The 1908 Parliament Special was made up of 11 carriages, there were no sleeping compartments and just one dining car. It was cold.
Those of you travelling to Auckland will re-enact the journey using locomotives and carriages that will come as close as possible to the original 1908 train. I'm looking forward to joining the trip in Hamilton. I'll be well-wrapped up in warm clothes and I advise fellow travellers to take similar precautions.
The trip for me is something I've always longed to do, in memory of my Great-Grandfather.
Thank you all for coming tonight. Thank you OnTrack for having the foresight to appreciate that it is events such as this which play a seminal part in the development of New Zealand.
We appreciate the effort which has gone into this re-enactment. It is fitting that we should take the time to pay tribute and remember those who had the foresight to plan for the future development of New Zealand.
I now call on Don Elder, Solid Energy Chief Executive.

- Drexel Review by Terry D
Price Value Quality
This stuff is great! Afraid to brag on it too much or it'll end up costing as much as Round up.
Takes a few days but it does a great job. I spayed mine in the spring and it kept the weeds completely down till late July.
Admittedly I used a stonger mix than they recommended but didn't need to. Next time I spayed, I used their recommend mixture and it worked just as well.
It als rained about 24 hours after spaying but it still worked just fine.
Also works on larger weeds and small bushes if you mix it a bit more on the heavy side.
I highly recommend spraying in early spring with this or any other. The early spray knicks it out before the roots get established so one treatment last much longer.

This product did what no other weed kill product I've bought ever did. Every product promised to kill the weeds but they would grow back. We have had torrential rains and the weeds haven't reappeared after using this product. I used it around some very large oaks that have decorative rocks around them. It was difficult to pull the weeds because they came back so quickly. This product took care of the business!!! No More Weeds: not in the driveway on the side of the house where it is all decorative rock not around the trees. IT'S GREAT

Restaurant Curia Reial: Catalan food
The architecture is the first thing that struck me about this lovely find. We walked in off the streets to what looks like an old wine cellar. The bar is at the bottom of some stone steps under an enormous archway and the restaurant is through patio doors to another area. I would love to know the history of the building
Each time we have visited (4 times in all) it has been winter. But the menu and wine list never fails to surprise.
Amazing! you must go
Favorite Dish: Pork is a real favourite in Catalan cuisine and Curia Real have many dishes on the menu. They also offer a set meal for around 12 euros with wine, which is exceptional value.
- Architecture
- Food and Dining
all - local Besalu: Typical Catalan dishes
I have described some of the Catalan dishes you may see in Besalù
Arrós Negre - Squid cooked in its own ink with rice, peas, red peppers, garlic and onion. This dish is claimed to have originated in L'Empordá in northern Catalonia, but this might be disputed by Valencians.
Allioli - emulsified olive oil and garlic
Butifara amb seques - is fried white sausages with the white beans popular in Catalonia.
Bunyols de bacalla - salt cod fritters
Coca - Catalan "pizza" tart
Crema Catalana - the classic dessert of Catalonia and popular all over Spain, may have been the origin of creme brulee.
Embutidos - platter of sliced sausage and meats.
Escalivada - peppers, tomato, aubergine and onion , all roasted in a little olive oil.
Fuet - sausages of dried meat.
Fideus - a "spaghetti" based dish, imagine a paella made with pasta.
Frito Mallorquin - Mallorcan liver and vegetable fry.
Gambes amb pollastre - "Mar i muntanya" - prawn and chicken (a lobster and chicken form may be found). cooked in a piccata of almonds, garlic, herbs and saffron.
Pa amb oli - olive oil drizzled bread rubbed with (optional) tomato and garlic ( Mallorca ). This speciality is spreading across Spain as a tapa. Pa amb tomaquet is the mainland Catalan version
Pato con peras - duck with pears.
Romesco sauce - red pepper sauce.
Sarsuela (or Zarsuela) - seafood stew.
Suquet - fish or seafood and vegetable stew.
Sopa d'farigoli - thyme soup
Tumbet - Mallorcan aubergine, courgette and potato fry.
Xató - a salad of endives, anchovies and tuna (usually canned),olives and onions with a sauce of almonds or hazelnuts, garlic and ñoras. Served with small vegetable omelettes.
Favorite Dish: Everything!
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
- Food and Dining
- Road Trip
Spanish Calory Bomb
Spaniards - and Catalans - know two types of breakfast. Either a coffee and a croissant, often consumed standing in a bar or Churros y Chocolate which is a veritable calory bomb helping everybody over the long time between the morning and the very late (not before 2 PM) lunch.
Nice tapas opposite Sant Pere
Instead of a blg lunch we enjoyed nice tapas on the square outside the restaurant opposite the Sant Pere (St. Peter) church. We did not need a big lunch because it was not so long before when we had churros y chocolate...
Favorite Dish: Good variety of tapas

Judge appoints twice-convicted man new attorney
LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) _ A judge has appointed a new attorney to a
man convicted of a double murder in Idaho.
Mark Lankford was convicted in 1984 of the beating deaths of
U.S. Marine Capt. Robert Bravence and his wife, Cheryl Bravence,
but a federal appeals court overturned the conviction in 2007. He
was convicted again in a retrial in 2008 and sentenced to life in
Lankford now wants a third trial, and he said he had a conflict
with his current attorney over defense strategies. On Tuesday, 2nd
District Judge John Stegner agreed to appoint a new attorney to
represent Lankford.

Hey Buddy!
I normally ride at Max PSI both front and rear. 42 PSI on my TKC's. But in winter I run them at about 40LBS on hard packed snow or ice conditions. I once ran them at 25 PSI around the great lakes in 07 when they had closed to TCH and there was 6 inch of snow. But I was riding at 20-30 km/h ad it worked awesome. SO i think it helps traction at lower speed in deep snow and minimizes CONTROL at high speed as you will have more flex. Plus I had no studs. I do not think it would make a difference with the studs I have if I lowered the PSI. (MY opinion)
I for one agree with you. it raises the temp on the tires a bit in cold, but I am not sure it would actually be as lethal as in summer.
Hopes this helps.

"We're very fortunate in Fayetteville that we don't have a lot of violent crime and a lot of our issues are what we call quality-of-life issues, and speeding just happens to be the biggest one," Sgt. Craig Stout with Fayetteville police says.
Now police are trying to pump the brakes of lead-foot drivers.
"We have very different avenues on how we can deal with some of those situations," Stout says.
One slow-down approach is the mobile, magnified odometer.
Cops say these electronic radar signs do usually raise awareness.
"Unfortunately, that is only a short-term solution," Stout says.
"You take the sign out of the neighborhood, people kind of go back to their old habits."
The city only has three of the signs, and right now, they're in high demand.
"There is a short waiting list for that," Stout says.
Another tool is traffic study equipment.
"So we can look at that information and determine is there a problem, and if so, when is the best time for some type of enforcement action to be taking place."
Putting the pedal to the metal in low-speed zones can steer drivers right toward citations, fines or worse; potentially harming others nearby.
"The faster you're going, the harder it is to stop," Stout says.
"A lot of times, the offenders are people who live in their neighborhoods because they're comfortable with the neighborhood and they may not realize they are going as fast as they are."
Stout explains that officers parked, pointing radar guns in every Fayetteville neighborhood is an unrealistic expectation.
He suggests one more simple, proactive way to keep city streets safe.
"Police ourselves, which is, as a citizen, be aware of your speed and try to slow it down."

Frozen warms up North American movie-goers
Published on Jan 6, 2014 7:26 AM
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Disney animated musical Frozen claimed top spot at the North American box office this weekend, deposing the latest instalment of The Hobbit fantasy trilogy, estimates showed Sunday.
A loosely based retelling of a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, Frozen added another US$20.7 million (S$26.22 million) in earnings, taking its seven-week haul in the United States and Canada to just under US$298 million.
In second place was horror film Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, the fifth movie of the hugely successful franchise which opened with US$18.2 million, box office tracker Exhibitor Relations reported.
The Paranormal Activity franchise has earned more than US$750 million worldwide since the original low-budget film, made for just US$15,000, took the box office by storm in 2009.

ISSUE: Hospital energy conservation plan
OUR VIEW: Energy savings is an important goal
If as a homeowner you learned your household energy consumption and related costs were significantly higher than the average of your neighbors, you'd likely want to figure out why and rectify the inequity.
Most conscientious homeowners would. So would most, if not all business owners. After all, a dollar saved is a dollar earned.
ISSUE: Hardin County United
OUR VIEW: No foundation laid
Hardin Fiscal Court recently slammed the door on the idea of a local unified government. Although the city government of Radcliff formally turned up its nose on the idea and Elizabethtown's council held similar opinions, Fiscal Court's lopsided 7-2 vote really put the kabosh on the idea — for now at least.
TOPIC: Graduation rates
OUR VIEW: Don't forget the kids left behind
We are a society that gets hung up a lot on numbers.
A .300 hitter in baseball, a 25 score on an ACT. A 20-point scorer in basketball, a 90-plus school graduation rate.
The higher the number, usually the better.
Recent news of graduation rates among Hardin County and area schools is encouraging news and numbers that bring pride to students, parents, educators and the community as a whole.
ISSUE: Candidates for local elected office
OUR VIEW: Lack of interest is disappointing
The passing of the Aug. 14 filing deadline for candidates seeking election to local political office should leave voters with a sense of disappointment.
ISSUE: Commuter air service guarantee
OUR VIEW: Local government should not pay
Based on four reported visits by airline carriers, the bold predictions from February 2010 offered a promise of commuter air service flying out of Elizabethtown just around the bend.
In October, the statement made before a joint meeting of Elizabethtown City Council and the airport board was even more certain. The airport's consultant said a deal would be done by the end of 2011, if not sooner.
ISSUE: Passing of Kathleen Booker
OUR VIEW: Her contributions will be missed
For more than four decades, she chronicled the comings and goings of her neighbors and friends. She described unique community happenings and ordinary, everyday circumstances.
ISSUE: Kudos to fun festivals
OUR VIEW: Cherish the times
As the dry, hot summer gives way to a reasonable if not mild August, weekends are dominated by community events.
Three recent celebrations illustrated some of our community's best attributes and their organizers deserve accolades.
When an unidentified patient shot and killed himself Aug. 7 at Hardin Memorial Hospital, staff members reacted admirably, a hospital official said.
Just as they might have trained for a tornado or earthquake, staff members have been trained on protocol for a shooting for about a year.
When shots were fired in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit on the second floor, the staff went into emergency mode.
ISSUE: EPD's open house
OUR VIEW: Outreach builds community
Public relations sometimes can be as simple as opening the door.

Paracetamol no better than placebo in low-back pain: Study
Published on Jul 24, 2014 7:14 AM
PARIS (AFP) - Paracetamol, the first-choice lower-back pain killer, worked no better than dummy drugs administered in a trial of more than 1,600 people suffering from the condition, researchers said on Thursday.
In fact, the median recovery time for those on placebo was a day shorter than that for trial subjects given real medicine, they wrote in The Lancet medical journal.
"Our findings suggest that... paracetamol does not affect recovery time compared with placebo in low-back pain, and question the universal endorsement of paracetamol in this patient group," the Australian team concluded.
"Paracetamol also had no effect on pain, disability, function, global symptom change, sleep or quality of life." Lower-back pain is the leading cause of disability in the world, and paracetamol is "universally" recommended as the treatment of first choice, said a statement carried by The Lancet.

Week 4 of OPT - food/meal suggestions
Hello everyone - today was my first day of week 4 of the OPT (the regular new one not the remix) and it was challenging to get my protein in and only consume 20% carbs - though I did do it!
Does anyone have any good meal plans for week 4 of OPT? I am not used to eating such low carbs - have never done any sort of Atkins diet, and I normally eat a good amount of fruit and veggies as well as some complex carbs like oats and ezekiel bread.
Anyway, if anyone has suggestions, I'd really appreciate it! (My calories are pretty low this week too - only 1143)
Thanks in advance!
Week 4 of OPT - food/meal suggestions
you can't go wrong with meat, veggies & some good fats. 20% of 1000 is 200 - so about 50 g of carbs, right? Figure 1 small portion fruit (berries work well) (I'd go for a serving size that gets you maybe 15 g carbs) and fill out the rest of the day with plenty of veggies, without any sugar or flour or potatoes or beans - and you're golden.
Have all the broccoli, asparagus, celery, zucchini, green beans, cucumber, salad greens, salsa, peppers, cauliflower that you want.
Save some room in your calories for some good fats - avocado, butter, real olive oil in your salad dressing, a few nuts and seeds, a few olives, some excellent cheese.
If you're really bored with the eats, reserve some of those carbs for some restrained use of condiments - ketchup, BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce - if you measure them and plan for it you can still use them and hit your carb goals. Yes - it's mainly sugar and not the best - but if it helps keep you on plan and you still have plenty of veggies in the mix - why not?Approach with caution - I'm keto-adapting

Week 4 of OPT - food/meal suggestions
Lisa's spot on - but to elaborate a bit:
Chicken Breast, boneless/skinless = 28g protein, 1.5g fat in an 85g serving
Very Lean Ground Beef (95% lean) = 26g protein, 5g fat in an 85g serving
Salmon = 17.15g protein, 10.44g fat in an 85g serving
Cheese = 15.18g protein, 24.29g fat in an 85g serving
So if you're looking at your macros and see that you're a bit higher than you'd like in fats, but still need protein, you'd opt for the chicken or ground beef. If you needed both, but more protein than fat, opt for the salmon. Lastly of course, if you need more fats, go for the cheese. Don't know if that helps or not, but that's how I figure out what I eat over the course of the day.Tom

I assume that's the weight RAW??
When I look at my fitday.com Trader Joe's chicken breast, and I put in RAW: 85g, I get this: 2.1g fat, 17.6g protein; that's a HUGE difference in our protein tabulations, and it would be great if you are right.
Where do you buy this chicken? What brand?

As tough as first half predictions can be to make, few predicted the Atlanta Braves would finish the first half 16 games over .500 and 3 1/2 games behind the division-leading Phillies.
Dan Uggla and Jason Heyward have struggled mightily; while spectacular defensively, Alex Gonzalez has been nothing short of a disappointment with a bat in his hands and Martin Prado and Chipper Jones have both seen time on the DL. Amidst all the struggles, Freddie Freeman and Brian McCann have carried the Braves through the first half.
But as many have seen, anything can happen in the game of baseball, and the Braves are opening eyes all around the MLB, even more-so after Tuesday's All-Star Game.
With the All-Star break winding down, BravesFTW takes a look at the first half of the Braves:
March/April: (13-15)
The Braves began the season in Washington, taking two of three from the surprising Nationals before being handcuffed by a revamped Milwaukee pitching staff, dropping 3 of 4. The first home series of 2011 was the same home finale in 2010, the Phillies. The Braves took the opener before dropping the next two, and continued to play mediocre baseball throughout the rest of the month. They hosted the Marlins for three and dropped two before sweeping a doubleheader against the Mets to take the series.
A west coast trip provided some relief, but not until after leaving Los Angeles dropping three of four to the Dodgers. After the disappointing series in L.A., the Braves swept the defending World Series champion Giants, a little revenge for the 2010 playoff exit before taking two of three in San Diego. After winning five of six, the Braves dropped the final two games of April at home to the Cardinals, ending the month with a losing record.
May: (15-11)
After a disappointing end to the first month of the season, the Braves got things back on track quickly when May began, winning seven of eight including a four-game sweep of the Brewers and two of three against the Phillies. This was the high point of the month for the Braves, as they struggled to remain consistent over the next three weeks, dropping two of three to the Nationals before taking two of three from the Phillies for the second weekend in a row.
They swept a quick two-game set with Houston before heading out on their second west coast trip of the season. There, the Braves dropped a two-game set to the Diamondbacks before losing two of three in Anaheim. Things got a little better after sweeping a two-game set in Pittsburgh before taking two of three from the visiting Reds, but the Braves ended the month dropping two straight to the visiting Padres.
June: (17-9)
While they took the finale against the Padres, the Braves saw more disappointment, dropping two of three to the Mets before putting a six-game winning streak together, including a road sweep of Florida before taking three of four in Houston. For the second time in a month, the Braves dropped two of three to the Mets before welcoming the Rangers and Blue Jays into Turner Field.
While the Braves did not fare well dropping two of three to the Rangers, they quickly made up for it, sweeping the Blue Jays before embarking on their third and finale west coast trip of the season. And the road trip did not begin well, watching the Braves drop two of three in San Diego before ending the road trip, and the month, with a sweep of the Mariners.
July: (7-3)
With the first series in July marking the end of interleague play, the Braves took two of three against the visiting Orioles before sweeping a four-game set against the Rockies, closing out the first half at Turner Field. The Braves had three games remaining on their schedule before the break in Philadelphia, and went into the series down 2 1/2 games behind their division rivals.
But things did not go as planned, as the Braves and Phillies split the first two games before the hosts sent the Braves into the break with a 14-1 loss.
As mediocre as the season began, the Braves have picked things up and kept the heat on the Phillies in the NL East. Look for more of the same in the second half as the Braves look to capture their second consecutive postseason berth and first under manager Fredi Gonzalez

Always a shame when stuff like this is claimed. Glad he has appologised! take the loss on the chin. And defend yourself at all times!!!!!
Rousimar Palhares owns up and apologies to Nate Marquardt after accusing him of greasing during last nights UFC Fight Night 22 main event bout,
"I'm very sorry for the accusations I made … Nate Marquardt did not cheat in any way, and I'm very sorry to him and his team for my actions in the fight." [MMAJunkie]
Palhares verbal protest in the cage gave Marquardt an opening to finish the fight and he took it.
Brazilian Top Team head trainer Murilo Bustamante,
"He should have never stopped…Nate won fair and square and did exactly what he should have. Rousimar knows it's imperative to protect yourself at all times, and he failed to do that."
Palhares manager Alex Davis sums up last nights mistake to past experiences and paranoia,
"Rousimar has had to deal with opponents greasing before … I truly believe it's turned into a paranoia for him. When Nate's leg slipped out so quickly, Rousimar froze. You could tell he was just thinking, 'Here we go again.'
"But I looked at Nate's legs myself. The commission checked them out, too. There was certainly no grease there. It was our error, and we owe Nate an apology, as well as Greg Jackson and the rest of his coaches and team."
Always a shame when stuff like this is claimed. Glad he has appologised! take the loss on the chin. And defend yourself at all times!!!!!
he seems like a good guy but then again seems like a bitch. first he holds a leg lock in WAY after the guy taps, gets suspended then apologizes. Accuses someone in the middle of fighting for greasing, which was ridiculous to begin with…gets punched in the face and was falsley accusing. Then apologizes again. This guy can shove his apologies in a sack. they mean nothing after the fact. Really what is he apologizing for anyways ?? he lost the fight..
what he needs to do is apologize to his coaches for looking stupid out there…Always Defend Yourself!!!!! And I do not give a rat's a$$ if he is somehow paranoid because it happened before….show respect or get no respect. How does that taste? Oh, you thought the ref should step in and intervene for you? just stop out off common courtesy?…yeah. just like you let him intervene and you stopped out of courtesy when you about tore off old boy's arm last time, right? A coward AND a hypocrite. I wish Nate would have broke his nose and/or jaw.
Your my girl now, you and me are going steady and you'll watch War Machine Porno's with me.
I am in love with War Machine. I have a poster of him over my bed.
I am the the original Cobra Clutch and I am in love with War Machine.
That is my legacy on this site.

My birds love them. It keeps them busy and is a tasty treat as well. My birds often ignore treats until they've gone stale but not these treats. They are usually gone the same day they're put in the cages.
Pros: Birds love them.
Cons: Can't have enough of them around.

K.P. Poulose feels proud as a student of Government Medical College
It means a lot to me that I've attended three convocations of the University of Kerala – the first one after my degree, then after completing my MBBS and later my MD. My excitement might sound silly for many people of the present generation because these days there aren't any convocation ceremonies as such. You get the certificate by post.
But when I was a student, we even had a rehearsal on the eve of the event. I clearly remember doing that rehearsal after I completed my graduation in Chemistry from Maharaja's College, Ernakulam, in 1954. The college was then affiliated to the then University of Travancore. Ramaswamy Muthaliar was the Vice-Chancellor then.
After graduation, I came to Thiruvananthapuram from Udayamperoor, my home town in Ernakulam district, to join Government Medical College. The inspiration to become a doctor was my father's brother, K.P. Chacko, who had a Licentiate of Medical Practice degree.
Only marks mattered
The admission to medical college was based on our marks in the science stream and English. There was no grace mark or reservation. We were the fourth batch of the college and the number of seats had gone up to 80 from 60. Then we had a four-and-a-half year course, plus one-year internship and one-year house surgency. There was no stipend during internship, but we got Rs. 75 while doing our house surgency.
I still hold my teachers in great respect. To be frank, we all were so scared of them. I want to make special mention of my teachers T.V. Mathew, late C. Vareeth, T. K. Raman, A. Achuthan Pillai, K. Narayana Pai, M. Thangavelu and P. G. Geevarghese.
They insisted on discipline and never compromised when it came to our performance. If we scored 50 per cent marks in the internal examination, we had to make up for the rest in the University examination. But if we scored less than 50 per cent, we weren't allowed to appear for the University examination. We never knew who was the external examiner. Examiners were very strict and no way could we influence them. There was no revaluation too. Out of 80, only 28 of us completed the course!
See where things stand now. Today, it is the students who decide who should be the examiner. If a student fails, he or she questions the teachers and even use political pressure to get things done. Otherwise the examiner is removed from the post, as it happened in my case when I was working in Government Medical College, Kottayam.
Though I went to Delhi and joined Maulana Azad Medical College for MD, I left the course in between. The teachers were very strict, plus I didn't know Hindi. After returning to Kerala, I joined as a tutor in medicine at the Medical College in 1961 and joined for MD the next year.
A turning point of my career was my stint at Johns Hopkins University in the United States (U.S.). I was deputed by the government to study nuclear medicine there. I chose the subject because I wanted to study abroad. It was a clerk in my office, the late Subramania Iyer, who told me that I would get government funds to study abroad if I took the subject. What came handy was a six-week course on radio isotopes I attended in Mumbai.The training was actually an excuse to see Mumbai!
I was in the US from 1967-70. Later, from 1973 to 1976, I worked as Associate Professor and vice-chairman, Department of Nuclear Medicine, Washington Hospital Centre, George Washington University.
I had already started a thyroid unit at the medical college in 1965. But following my stint in the U.S., I could make it into a full-fledged nuclear medicine division under the Department of Medicine. Though we had submitted a proposal to the government to expand the unit, by then Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) had got the sanction to develop their nuclear medicine unit. Higher-ups suggested that there was no need for same units in two institutions and so asked me to join RCC. But I didn't want to do that and so I opted to go to Government Medical College, Kottayam, in 1979 and from there I retired as professor and head, Department of Medicine, in 1990.
I am quite disappointed that we haven't yet tapped the benefits of nuclear medicine, especially in ailments related to kidney, heart and bones. It is being used on a small scale in a few hospitals. However, I am happy that I could start radio-iodine treatment for thyroid cancer and thyrotoxicosis and initiate thyroidology as a speciality in the state after my training in the US.

Wearing this coat is like wearing your sleeping bag around. It was windy and cold last night, and I wanted to go on a walk. So, I put on my son's new Maestro Jacket and I was totally cozy and comfy the whole time. We live in one of the coldest spots in the nation and this coat is a must!
