From the Publisher"Natalie Zemon Davis's articles . . . have already earned her a reputation among those familiar with her work as one of the most brilliant and original historians active in American today. This collection of eight essays, her first book, reprints five of the most important of her published articles along with three entirely new ones. . . . Each of these eight essays bears the imprint of Davis's distinctive style, a style which is characterized above all by the exceptional range of perspectives which she brings to bear on whatever subject she discusses. . . . Historians will wish to savor this book. For virtually every one of these essays is the kind of model study which reminds us how revealing exciting history can ben when a love of reconstructing the details of past societies is wedded to the search for larger patterns of significance."

National League Game Summary - Chicago at Cincinnati
(Thursday, July 10)
Final Score: Chicago 6, Cincinnati 4 (12 innings)
Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Luis Valbuena's two-run triple in the top of the 12th inning lifted the Chicago Cubs over the Cincinnati Reds, 6-4, on Thursday afternoon at Great American Ball Park.
Arismendy Alcantara, in his second big league game, went 4-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored for the Cubs, who salvaged the finale of this five- game set and ended and six-game slide. Starlin Castro added a pair of hits and an RBI for Chicago, which went 5-6 on its 11-game road trip.
Ryan Ludwick went 3-for-6 with a homer and two RBI for the Reds, who blew a three-run lead and saw a five-game win streak come to a halt. No other Cincinnati player had multiple hits in a game that saw the Reds lose another starter and tempers flare before a dramatic end for the Cubs.
With the game tied in the ninth inning, the game got heated when the Cubs took exception to Aroldis Chapman throwing high and inside to a couple of the players in the top of the inning. Chapman escalated the issue by making gestures towards the Cubs dugout as he walked off the field after the top of the frame.
Then, while Chicago was warming up in the field in the middle of the inning, Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo walked towards the Reds dugout, taking off his hat and throwing down his glove, appearing to challenge Chapman and his antics. Benches cleared and cooler heads eventually prevailed without any ejections and only warnings issued.
The game remained deadlocked until the 12th when the Cubs went ahead. With two outs and a pair of runners on, Valbuena drove a pitch from J.J. Hoover deep to right. Skip Schumaker tracked it down and made a leaping attempt. However, the ball went off his glove, caromed off the wall and the race was on. By the time Schumaker tracked down the ball, two runs scored. The relay throw, though, got Valbuena at home despite a replay on the bang-bang play at the plate.
Hoover (1-6) suffered the setback, allowing two runs on four hits in two innings.
"It's baseball," said Reds manager Bryan Price. "You have these situations throughout the course of the year. You have to acknowledge the fact that they played a good ball game."
Blake Parker (1-0) got the win for the Cubs, striking out three in two innings.
Cincinnati starter Homer Bailey left the game in the sixth inning with pain in the patellar tendon in his right knee. With Castro at the plate leading off the inning, Bailey never delivered a 1-2 pitch after pulling up when feeling pain. The pitch prior he was seen flexing his right leg after his delivery. He is, however, likely to make his next start after the All-Star break.
Cincinnati got going in the first inning, jumping on Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks in his major league debut. Consecutive walks to begin the inning set the table for Brayan Pena's one-out RBI double. Ludwick added an RBI single and Pena scored on Ramon Santiago's base hit to give the Reds a 3-0 lead.
The Cubs got a run back in the third when Hendricks scored on an Alcantara sac fly, but Ludwick's homer in the home half of the frame gave the Reds another three-run edge.
"Hendricks kept us in the game," said Cubs manager Rick Renteria. "He did a nice job."
Chicago got back into the game in the fifth when Alcantara doubled home a pair of runs and later tied the game off Jonathan Broxton in the eighth when Castro singled home Alcantara, who reached on an infield single that glanced off the glove of Broxton and later moved to third when first baseman Pena's errant throw to second went into left field.
Bailey was charged with three runs on two hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
Hendricks also got a no-decision, surrendering four runs on five hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walked three.
Game Notes
To make room for Hendricks, Chicago optioned pitcher Dallas Beeler to Triple-A Iowa ... Prior to the game, the Reds selected infielder Kristopher Negron from Triple-A Louisville and optioned pitcher Carlos Contreras to Louisville ... Chapman has a strikeout in 39 consecutive games, tied for the longest strikeout streak in history by a reliever since 1900 (Bruce Sutter, 1977) ... Alcantara ended a homer shy of the cycle.

Penn National Suit Dismissed
Showboat filed its suit in Nevada and Penn National attorneys argued for dismal because of a lack of jurisdiction. The U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada agreed with Penn National."Because the subject of the agreements between plaintiff and defendant was located in West Virginia and the option could not be exercised without changes in West Virginia law, the court finds that jurisdiction over defendants is not appropriate in the state of Nevada," the court ruling stated.

This Tumblr Tuesday, we're breaking from our traditional list format to highlight a single Tumblr blog that's making waves both online and offline: the King's Alternative Food Cooperative Association, or KAFCA. This cooperative is starting its own food revolution on the campus of the University of King's College in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Each week, KAFCA serves a fresh, local lunch on campus that's made from fruits and veggies sourced from a local CSA. The organization also caters society events on campus and throughout Halifax, supporting the local food economy and advocating for organic food.
The nonprofit food cooperative is just getting started on Tumblr, but the microblogging platform is perfect for keeping up with KAFCA's activities on and off the King's campus.

The repair was easy, based on the comments from this website. I used a 6-in-1 screwdriver, and that was the only tool. I removed the two screws holding the hinges, removed the door, then the two screws on the opposite side of the opening. This allowed the front panel to come off. I spun the dryer tumbler until the baffle that was loose was at approximately 5 o'clock. I unscrewed the remaining screw and found the missing screw in the bottom of the dryer. I put those two screws into the new baffle, and popped the front back in place. I reinstalled the four screws (two opposite the hinge, then the two that hold the hinges)...all done in about 20 minutes (including vacuuming the lint out from that lower area).

BT and TalkTalk get low marks in broadband shopper test
- 15 May 2012
- From the section Technology
Mystery shopper tests conducted by Ofcom have revealed that UK providers are failing to inform customers about broadband speeds.
While some were usually upfront about the maximum speed users could expect, others were not.
TalkTalk and BT were the worst offenders, offering users a speed estimate without prompting in fewer than half of cases.
Providers agreed last year to better inform new customers.
Overall speed estimates were offered without prompting from the mystery shoppers in 59% of cases.
The providers most likely to give callers an estimated speed were Karoo (76%), Sky (72%) and Plusnet (67%).
There is often a big disparity between advertised speeds and what consumers will actually get.
Internet service providers (ISPs) have been accused of misleading the public by advertising speeds as "up to..." when few will actually be able to achieve the headline speed.
Campaigners are keen for new rules to make it easier for consumers to know exactly what they are getting from services.
Processes changing
There are many factors that affect what speed customers will get, with the distance they live from the telephone exchange being the principal one.
In July 2011, ISPs agreed with Ofcom to offer customers maximum speed estimates for the area they live in as early as possible in the sales process.
Both TalkTalk and BT have agreed to change their processes following the mystery shopper tests.
"We strongly support the Ofcom speed code of practice and ensure that anyone who buys BT broadband gets a personalised speed quote before they are committed to purchase," said a BT spokesman.
"Ofcom has suggested we should make a minor change to mention the speed quote earlier in the sales conversation, which we are happy to do and will implement straight away."
"It is vital that as the choice of broadband services expands, UK consumers get the best possible information when choosing a broadband provider," said Claudio Pollack, Ofcom's consumer group director.
Disappointing results
Michael Phillips, managing director of Broadbandchoices.co.uk, said the tests showed that more needed to be done.
"Speed is at the centre of a customer's decision to buy broadband, so the findings that only 59% of ISPs gave an unprompted speed estimate over the phone is disappointing," he said.
"It's clear that the current voluntary code leaves too much open to ISP - or call centre operator - interpretation and ultimately this means that it lacks any real teeth.
"Ofcom should be far more prescriptive as to when - exactly - a potential customer should be informed of the likely speed of the service.
"In the real world, customers like my mum wouldn't know to prompt the operator for this information and could be at risk of making an uninformed purchasing decision."
The regulator said that it would conduct more tests next year.

All we needed were some tortilla chips and a bag of blend. Same with the most basic of "quesadillas". It might not be authentic, but when I need a quick snack, a tortilla microwaved with some cheese blend inside has never steered me wrong.

Hartsville Nuclear Plant Incident, Tennessee
The nuclear power plant is a site that cost the general public millions of dollars that was supposedly never finished. The construction of the plant came to an abrupt halt some years back leaving the community devastated. TVA (Federal Government) will tell you it is being used as a storage area only. Yet I have calls at the radio station from listeners who claim to hear strange humming sounds coming from the location.
Listeners from the area have called talking about a strange humming sound. Comments like "you can feel it" "It makes the hair stand up on your neck" are common. We also hear that you can't locate the source of the humming it seems to be coming from everywhere. This has been mentioned only by people who live near the nuclear power plant site.
A rural elderly listener called my morning show extremely upset. He told us he had lost several beagle puppies in the area. A friend of his told him that he thought that he had seen the pups in the area near the cooling tower. He reported to us in a phone call that he had driven his truck to the area. He thought he was hearing the beagles out in the wooded area so he climbed over the fence and started calling to them. He told us he was greeted with an overhead helicopter and a ground force of about 30 people. They allegedly escorted him off the property in a very rough and crude manner. He said they were some kind of police, some in plain clothes. He told us they were rude and threatening.
A listener who is a tech that lives on a hill near the area has had fluorescent bulbs light in his hand on various spots on his property. He discovered this by accident but has witnesses to the phenomenon. He works with surveillance cameras, thermal imaging and a lot of high tech stuff. He tells us there is operational radar being used at the nuclear site at different times.
A Hartsville resident who's ex-husband worked at the site tells us that there is a reactor there. We have had several reports of this from different folks in the community. She tell us that her husband was told "don't eat the fish from the river or eat any deer shot in the area".

I remember at school, when teachers would put old CRT TVs on to show some educational video, and they made this kind of high pitched sound (The tube inside charging with electricity maybe?). Being 24 now, I'm not sure if my hearing has gotten worse, as I no longer come into contact with CRT TVs, so I can't make a comparison, but anyway...
That's the flyback transformer. When CRTs were the norm, I used to be able to tell, just walking through the front door, whether my folks had the TV on or not, even when muted.

Here in Gatineau, Quebec, my mom mentioned it to me a while back, that she can hear it.. She keeps calling asking me to come over to hear it.. I hear nothing...
Maybe those are from the Gatineau Car Club members, what with the coffee-can exhausts they put on their rice burners...

The dreaded leadoff walk.
Rolen leads off with a walk
Gomes is about to do work
Most Vottomatic Player

Rolen BB. I was hoping for a hat trick.
That just gives Gomes the chance to put em ahead.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
Wow, leaving the lefty in to face Gomes. I love it.
Ump likes those low ones.
That 2-1 pitch was NOT a strike. No way.
No way that was a strike. Especially with the way he's been calling low pitches.
94 and winning the division and the NLCS but falling in the WS to Toronto in 6
94 Reds / 86 Cards / 85 Pirates / 76 Cubs / 72 Brewers
That last pitch hasn't been a strike all game.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
Gomes strikes out swinging for the 3rd time.
That's right and then, at least at GABP, they play 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' after that so it all still works.I think they've been doing "God Bless America" in all parks on Sunday since 9/11.

Today I spent the afternoon and evening at the Second Chance Tuesday event in London. In the afternoon there was an "Early Stage Funding Workshop" for an audience of about 100 companies, which consisted of a panel discussion with entrepreneurs and investors talking about what setting up and investing in a business is really like.
After a networking break the evening event started, where the auditorium at the Royal College of Physicians was filled to the brim with over 300 people; entrepreneurs, investors, and media. We were treated to a rare public appearance of Niklas Zennström, founder of KaZaA, Skype, Joost and Atomico Investments in a "fireside" chat with BBC Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones.
Niklas went through the ups and downs of his serial entrepreneurship career, from being sued out of existence with KaZaA, working for a year with no funding when starting Skype, to re-visiting his old friends in the media world from the KaZaA days with his new venture, Joost.
Rory kept Niklas on his toes with some good questions, both for Niklas (Q: "So you've done three 'successful' start-ups but none of them making any profit?", A: "Actually, Skype is profitable, with number of users, revenue and profit all growing."), and for the audience (Q: "Who here has tried Joost?", A: a large majority of the audience. Q: "Who here is using Joost regularly?" A: not one hand raised that I could see) - in his defence Niklas pointed out that the premium on-line TV/Film market that Joost is addressing is still at a very early stage.
Overall it was a very entertaining session, and gave a few insights into the thinking and processes behind companies that have achieved a critical mass of users in a short time. This involves things like focus on solving problems that people care about (in this case sharing files, making cheaper/free international calls) in a way that is "friction-free" (easy to acquire and install), easy to use, and so compelling that you get the viral effect of users introducing their friends to the service.
I think Niklas perhaps underplayed the level of technical sophistication that is also necessary to be successful. At the root of each of these ventures is some very nifty networking and peer-to-peer algorithms that required some serious technical innovation. Building a business around a core piece of intellectual property is more important than it sometimes appears in the Web 2.0 world, and the current generation of web entrepreneurs should think carefully about this.
From a Microsoft perspective, this event was important because we used it to announce the next five companies to join the Microsoft Startup Accelerator programme. They are:
Although these companies operate in some very different spaces, they all have some great capabilities, and we're looking forward to working with them towards building successful businesses. We will of course be writing more about all of our Accelerator partners here in the future.
The Second Chance Tuesday event also had a number of media outlets in attendance, and I expect we'll see some coverage on Channel 4, Startups.co.uk, TechCrunch, and Newspepper amongst others.

Participants in the 2013 YEA Leadership Weekend in Vancouver enjoyed networking and learning opportunities.
By Lee Feigenbaum, Long Island Chapter, Region I
I was fortunate to get a new stamp in my passport and
attend spring 2013 Young Engineers in ASHRAE (YEA) Leadership Weekend in
Vancouver, BC, Canada, from April 5-7. This dynamic three-day event included
segments that increased personal awareness while calling attention to our
similarities and differences in the workplace, leadership development, personal
branding, a site visit and discussions about continued leadership opportunities
in ASHRAE.
My 1 a.m. arrival in Vancouver was admittedly rough, but it
afforded me an excellent opportunity to explore the local economy in the
morning before the conference began. The conference formally began with
introductions in the afternoon, followed by a guided tour of the Vancouver
Convention Center, which the British Columbia Chapter helped to organize. This
unique facility sets the standard for green building and has received multiple
awards for sustainability. It was a rare privilege to go behind the scenes with
both the designing engineer and the building's chief engineer.
During our tour we
viewed the seawater heating and cooling systems, the sophisticated water
recovery and on-site treatment systems, and the largest "living roof" in North
America. Interestingly, Vancouver had more green space after the convention
center was completed than they did before! As the first convention center in
the world to earn the U.S. Green Building Council's highest rating, the
Vancouver Convention Center has set a high standard of excellence for others to
follow. It was exciting to see the mechanical systems in operation.
On day two we met our facilitator, Ralph Kison. After
completing our individual organization performance profile, Kison set out to
help us know ourselves better. He revealed some powerful and undeniable
insights that pertained to all in attendance. After helping us to "connect the
dots" Ralph encouraged us "start with why," rather than falling into the trap
of focusing on "the what" and "the how." The conversation throughout the day
was enthusiastic and engaging…dinner came too soon!
On the third and final
day we met with Kison again to discuss our personal branding. He encouraged us
to explore the things that distinguish us from others. While it makes sense
that this should be a personal exercise, conducting it in a group setting
really allowed ideas to flow freely. With such powerful facilitation we covered
a lot of ground very quickly and all groups offered their findings to the group
before we concluded for the day. My personal brand was "Boom: Problem Solved!"
What's yours?
Sun Tzu offers that a leader who knows himself cannot be
defeated. This timeless advice transfers directly to corporate America.
Regardless of our role in the HVAC community, understanding our "why" as well
as our personal brand is important. When it comes to our success over the long
term, people and the relationships we build become more important than our
technical prowess and building. Thankfully, the YEA focused in these important
soft skills in order to help contribute to a more well-rounded and completely
competent person. I highly recommend the YEA Leadership Weekends to all
aspiring HVAC professionals. They offer real opportunities to get involved, to
contribute meaningfully to the conversation and to become leaders in our
ASHRAE advances the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world. With more than 53,000 members from over 132 nations, ASHRAE is a diverse organization representing building system design and industrial processes professionals around the world.

At Narendra Modi's recent rally in Amritsar where he brought in Prime Minister Manmohan singh's brother Daljeet Singh Kohli into BJP's fold, Arun Jaitley targetted Congress for its corruption. Earlier, Manmohan Singh had targetted Modi stating that there was no Modi wave in India. In a jibe, Jaitley said that the wave existed to defeat Congress in the Lok Sabha elections.
A massive crowd had gathered in Amritsar to attend the Bharat Vijay Rally. The rally was addressed by Narendra Modi, BJP candidate for Amritsar Arun Jaitley, Punjab CM prakash Singh Badal and host of NDA Punjab leaders.
While Jaitley said that he was glad that NDA chose him as an candidate from Amritsar. He added, "There were two kinds of waves seen in this election. One is to defeat Congress and the other is to elect BJP."
He added that his dream was to see Amritsar as a developed city flourishing with tourists thronging this culturally rich city. He promised that the new government in Delhi will fight the issue of narco-terrorism on the most priority basis.
Prakash Singh Badal said, "Aritsar being on the borders is very suitable to be developed as trade center. Narendra Modi is going to form the government in Delhi and Arun Jaitley is the right candidate to raise the issues faced by Punjab."

JON CARDINELLI says that Allister Coetzee needs to face facts: Ricky Januarie and Conrad Jantjes just aren't good enough to command starting positions.
You could see it on the faces of Coetzee and Stormers captain Jean de Villiers after Saturday night's game. The Stormers beat the Cheetahs, but the quality of the game was so poor that both Coetzee and De Villiers wore embarrassed looks as they took their seats to front the media.
There wasn't much to be said in the positive, other than they had obtained the necessary four log points. Mission accomplished. Or not.
They said that there was no excuse for such a poor performance. You have to wonder if this utterance was intended to placate the media and public, and if it was made with the hope that after a few more games, the Stormers would hit their straps.
If you're like me and you find the statement to be rather redundant, you will also be asking what the Stormers are going to do differently in the coming week.
Some may argue that two wins are all that matter, and that you don't change a winning team, but the reality is that the easier matches are over. This week they'll face a team ranked two on the combined log, and next week they'll travel to Loftus Versfeld. The Highlanders and the Bulls will be much tougher to topple than the Lions and Cheetahs.
The Stormers are struggling for synergy, and their handling errors and poor ball security are inhibiting their ability to build attacking momentum. These are new problems that have crept into their game since the start of the campaign, but one thing that has remained consistent is the quality of service at scrumhalf.
Ricky Januarie continues to cost the Stormers momentum by arriving late at the ruck and then taking an age to reach down, pick up the ball and float a pass to his flyhalf. Coetzee went as far to admit Januarie wasn't at his best against the Cheetahs, and when he spoke about the team lacking energy, he must have had Januarie in mind.
While Januarie troubles defences around the fringes, he no longer has the precision nor the pace to be the key link in a professional rugby team. He's been shown up by Dewaldt Duvenage in previous seasons, and one wonders what he did in the Currie Cup that made Coetzee and company revise their premier halfback dynamic.
Duvenage was the first choice scrumhalf in 2010, and his distribution, accuracy and kicking game helped the Stormers qualify for the Super 14 final. He complemented Peter Grant, and because the Stormers still had Joe Pietersen on their books, they had some solid kicking options.
They lose a tactical kicking option by starting Januarie, and this in turn places additional pressure on Grant. Conrad Jantjes hasn't filled the kicking void left by Pietersen, even though he possesses a cannon of a boot. In fact, kicking is just one department where Jantjes has underperformed since coming back from injury in mid-2010.
The serious leg injury that sidelined him for 14 months has had lasting effects. Jantjes shuns the contact situations, he's lost a lot of pace and no longer offers a counter-attacking threat from the back. The predictability of the Stormers' back three was exposed by the Cheetahs last week, as Jantjes, Bryan Habana and Danie Poolman made numerous errors and were easily marked when they decided to counter-attack.
The good news for the Stormers is that Gio Aplon is on the mend and should be back for the Highlanders clash. Aplon must start at No 15, as his ability to punish poor kicks with sniping runs from deep will force the Highlanders to think about their tactics. Aplon is also the kind of player who will lend the side some pace, energy, and enthusiasm.
The forward effort needs sharpening, and ball retention is going to be crucial, but the backline is also under pressure to fire. One try in two matches is a damning indictment on the Stormers' attack, and while they have some potent centres and a good flyhalf, they need to involve a sharp scrumhalf and dangerous fullback if they're going to maximise their scoring potential.

Many workhouses were established following the Poor Law amendments of 1834, which stated that 'no able bodied person was to receive money or other help from Poor Law Authorities except in a workhouse'. This chart shows the kind of work that inmates were forced to carry out in workhouses around the country, including stone-breaking or oakum-picking - unravelling lengths of tarred rope, for use in calking the seams of battleships. For all this, the pauper received only an allowance of coarse bread; 4 pounds a week if he was married, plus 2 pounds for each child.

LIMA — The city of Lima and a handful of city employees listed as defendants have been dismissed from lawsuits filed after an accident in which a woman crashed her car into a crowd of people at a Rally in the Square two years ago.
The city of Lima, Kirk Neimeyer, Howard Elstro, Rick Stolley were dismissed this month along with General Motors Corp. and General Motors LLC, according to court records.
Several lawsuits have been filed after the accident including against Linda Booth, the driver of the car.
Some people suffered significant injuries from the accident.
Booth, through her insurance agency, 21st Century Casualty Co., filed the first lawsuit saying she only had $25,000 in liability coverage for anyone seeking a judgment against her. She also filed bankruptcy a year ago.
The accident injured 27 people during a June 15, 2012, rally. Booth was pulling into a parking space at the time. Police Chief Kevin Martin said it was likely she accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake.

Nelsonville, OH – Robert Madden of Portsmouth has received a Wayne F. White and Bob Evans Scholarship award for the 2014-2015 academic year. Madden is a graduate of Clay High School; he plans to attend Shawnee State University to pursue a degree in computer engineering. The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) awarded 103 scholarships this year, totaling $151,000 in post-secondary support to the region's students.
The Wayne F. White and Bob Evans Legacy Scholarship was established by family and friends of the two men, including Bob's wife Jewel Evans (both she and her husband Bob founded the original Wayne White Scholarship) to honor the legacy and commitment these two friends had to the Appalachian Ohio region. Both passionate about education and champions of the region, White and Evans were committed to ensuring finances were not a barrier to the ability of the region's youth to access post-secondary opportunities.
"We're inspired to see so many students pursuing education," said FAO President and CEO Cara Dingus Brook. "The Foundation feels lucky to partner with our donors in helping these students reach their goals and in growing the educational opportunities needed for an Appalachian Ohio full of possibility."
The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio's mission is to create opportunities for Appalachian Ohio's citizens and communities by inspiring and supporting philanthropy. FAO is honored to partner with our donor-established scholarship funds in both supporting the continued educational pursuits of the region's students and honoring the legacy and story behind each fund.
Each year, the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio offers scholarships to students across the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio. Available through donor-established funds within the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, many honoring the legacy of a friend or loved one, scholarships are awarded through a competitive application process.
More information regarding FAO's scholarships and a full list of the 2014 recipients can be found on FAO's website, www.AppalachianOhio.org.

I use this product a lot out at the animal shelter when we're cleaning up. It makes it handy to pick up the messes, but have noticed that the teeth seem to break fairly easily. Would be nice if there were a product with this design in metal.
Pros: Easy to use

Katrina, Rita put flood insurance in spotlight
In order to build up needed protection, such coverage should be mandatory for all who own property in flood-prone areas.
The storm-ravaged areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas were hit by ferocious winds and rising waters by Katrina and Rita. But which did the most damage, winds or high water? That's one of the key questions that will be answered as the issue of who pays for what gets sorted out.
The Mississippi Attorney General, Jim Hood, wants insurance companies to pay for all damage, if storm-damaged property did not have federal flood insurance coverage. He has sued all insurance companies operating in Mississippi. Typically, insurance policies exclude flood coverage. But forcing insurance companies to ignore their policies really means forcing other insurance policy holders to bear an unfair burden.
Homeowners who lost everything shouldn't be forced to get into a legal tug of war with insurance companies after the storm over whether 145 mph winds or a 20-foot tidal surge wiped them out.
Insurance companies manipulating the fine print to get out of their responsibilities are really trying to get the nation's taxpayers to pay the storm bill.
In fact, the federal government is the insurer of last resort in storm-hit areas, no matter the insurance. It's a political reality. But the federal flood insurance program, which will be hard-hit by Katrina and Rita claims, needs bolstering if costs are to be absorbed in a more rational way.
Though reform measures in 2004 tightened flood insurance requirements for properties with federally subsidized loans, historically only 20 to 25 percent of properties in historical flood zones are covered by flood insurance, which is purchased separately from windstorm insurance. In Corpus Christi, 13,222 properties in flood zones are enrolled in the federal program.
But there is no requirement that properties owned free and clear have flood coverage, nor properties financed without federal subsidies. Yet if damaged by floods, the taxpayers would be asked to pick up the bill for damages.
Flood insurance should be made mandatory for all properties in flood zones so that premiums can build up the flood insurance funds. And those premiums should be priced to reflect realistically the risk of living in flood-prone areas.
That kind of reform takes congressional action. Meanwhile, homeowners should make it their business to check their own policies before the next storm.

LOS ANGELES, CA (May 25, 2009) World ranked contender Abner Mares has joined forces with The Espinoza Boxing Club, it was announced today by award winning manager Frank Espinoza. The 23 year old Mares, promoted throughout his career by Oscar De La Hoyas Golden Boy Promotions, is currently world ranked #4 by the IBF and WBO. He has compiled an undefeated record of 18-0 with 11 knockouts since turning professional four years ago after an illustrious amateur career which culminated in being a member of the 2004 Mexican Olympic Team..
Mares won the WBO NABO title with an HBO televised unanimous decision win over Damian Marchiano in Atlantic City, New Jersey on November 17, 2007. He followed that with a devastating second round knockout of Diosdado Gabi on the televised portion of the HBO PPV broadcast of the Manny Pacquiao/Juan Manuel Marquez world title bout on March 15, 2008.
Mares made his return from a detached retina injury after an almost one year layoff by stopping Jonathan Perez in the sixth round at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 2nd.
Im thrilled to begin working with Frank Espinoza as my manager. His work with world champions such as Israel Vazquez and Martin Castillo speaks volumes. Im confident that having him guiding my career will be a huge advantage as I make my way to a world title bout said the Nacho Beristain trained Mares.
The 118 pound division is very hot right now and Im looking forward to facing the very best, whether it is Fernando Montiel, Joseph Agbeko or Vic Darchinyan whos moving up to 118.
Mares is tentatively scheduled to return to action on July 18th on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. /Juan Manuel Marquez event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas .
Said Espinoza, Abner is just the kind of fighter I want to work with. Just like Israel and Martin, hes very serious and disciplined in his quest to become a world champion. Hes a great addition to The Espinoza Boxing Club and were very proud to work with him.
The ESPINOZA BOXING CLUB was started in 1991 by Los Angeles area businessman Frank Espinoza.
Espinoza, born and bred in East Los Angeles, was a huge fan of the sport and eventually went on to establish himself as one of the top managers in the world of boxing.
In 2006, Espinoza was awarded the Manager of the Year award from the World Boxing Hall of Fame and inducted into the California Boxing Hall of Fame.
Espinozas management style has earned him numerous accolades from several respected print and internet boxing writers. In the September 2008 issue of Ring Magazine, Espinoza was praised for his outstanding handling of the career of junior featherweight world champion and Pound for Pound superstar Israel EL MAGNIFICO Vazquez.
Along with managing Vazquez also manages a young squad of talented and promising fighters composed of Luis Ramos, Carlos Molina, Abraham Lopez, Ronny Rios, Manny Suavecito Roman and Jesus Pollo Hernandez.
Among the world champions Espinoza has managed in the past are Martin Gallito Castillo, Enrique Sanchez, Isidro Chino Garcia and Mighty Mike Anchondo.
It is the goal of the Espinoza Boxing Club to always fight for our fighters best interests and to maximize their potential.

Corpus Christi police: More than 20 people involved in bar fight
CORPUS CHRISTI - Two men were injured early Sunday during a fight involving more than 20 people at a local bar, Corpus Christi police said.
Officers responded to a bar about 1:15 a.m. in the 4500 block of Weber Road, near Gollihar Road, after reports of a fight inside. They found security personnel escorting a 21-year-old man and a 23-year-old man outside, who appeared to be intoxicated, police said.

The Town of Bronson Council hired a new town clerk last week during a special meeting called to fulfill the hiring process. More than 30 applications were submitted for the position.
Before the final decision was made, the council interviewed the top six applicants. Kelly Brettel's first day as the new town clerk will coincide with the town meeting Nov. 3. Brettel has 20 years of accounting experience and has already read the clerk manual in preparation of her new job.
Chiefland is a step closer to having a set of ordinances on the books that tightly regulate adult sexually oriented businesses.

The second reading of the two ordinances will be at the commission's regular meeting at 6 p.m. Nov. 10 at City Hall.

The tally:
4,913 absentee ballots requested
3,435 absentee ballots received
2,203 early voting ballots cast
The total for the early and absentee ballots received is 5,638 ballots of 21.69 percent of the county's 25,983 registered voters.
There's going to be a little adjustment to the city's garbage rates for dumpster service - especially for two businesses with large compactor Dumpsters.
That's because the city has discovered that Waste Pro had not included pricing for compactor Dumpsters like the ones in operation at Wal-mart and Walgreen's for the City Commission meeting on Sept. 22 where the commission approved raising garbage rates in the city.
The vote was 3-1 with Mayor Teal Pomeroy dissenting and Vice Mayor Teresa Barron absent to attend a county budget meeting.
The Chiefland City Commission will be interviewing the only two candidates who applied for the position of city attorney at 5 p.m. on Nov. 10.

The city commission, in its regular meeting on Oct. 13 decided to stick with it's policy of holding trick or treat on the last Saturday of the month even though Halloween falls on a Friday this year - 6 days after the city-sanctioned event.
Williston will host its annual Trail of Treaters Friday, Oct. 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in downtown Williston.
Candidates for Levy County Schools Superintendent Robert Hastings and Jeff Edison met Monday night at the old Bronson High School auditorium to speak to voters and answer questions about their respective campaigns.
Hastings presented himself as the candidate for change, stressing the need to improve the dynamic between administration and teachers while Assistant Superintendent Edison placed his focus on putting kids first.
"We need an administration that cares about employees," said Hastings. "There are changes coming, I assure you, there are changes coming."
Mud boggers who use a private site on County Road 337 near N.E. 125th Street need to have their driver licenses, vehicle registrations and insurance papers up to date on Sunday, Oct. 26 as the Levy County Sheriff's Office is conducting a checkpoint at the intersection.
Early voting in the presidential election has started and will continue through Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Levy County Supervisor of Elections office on Court Street in Bronson.
