Time to revisit Vatican II
When Vatican II solemnly opened on Oct. 11, 1962, at St. Peter's Basilica, it rang as a harbinger of change and was hailed as "the most important religious event of the 20th century," such that people talked in terms of "pre-Vatican" and "post-Vatican," not as sweeping as BC-AD, but indicative of its magnitude and momentousness.
Now, who remembers? Did the hierarchy? Did fireworks light up the sky on Oct. 11, 2012?
Still, its golden jubilee has drawn commentary, adding to the tons already written. Its scope is so extensive that ordinary mortals can take it only one point at a time and try to see how the parts fuse with the whole.
There are ways to approach Vatican II. The first is appraisal according to its three-fold goal: spiritual renewal, updating (aggiornamento), and promotion of Christian unity. The goal that caught the world's imagination was "updating," to "connect" to the modern world—well put by Pope John XXIII. What! "Several inches of condemnation and one of praise; is that the way to talk to the modern world?"
The second is a scholarly, theological approach in which each of the 16 Council documents are scrutinized, preferably for implementation, as their analysis and interpretations have been combed in the past five decades. FYI, the 16 deal with: the Nature of the Church, the Church in the Modern World, Revelation, Liturgy, Ecumenism, Religious Freedom, the Church and Non-Christian religions, Missionary Activity, Laity, Eastern Catholic Churches, Bishops, Priests, Priestly Formation, Religious Life, Christian Education, and Social Communication. Be prepared for labored reading.
A third approach is more palatable as a revelation of character is always absorbing. This will include roles and contributions of key players. Foremost is "Good Pope John" XXIII for even thinking and daring to mount an ecumenical council—earth-shaking for a distant, immovable institution. Pope Paul VI took over after Pope John died. Not to forget were the periti, theological experts including one Josef Ratzinger, 35, and others like Hans Kung, Yves Congar, Edward Schillebeeckx and Karl Rahner, who were treated like pariahs for their progressive views, and now drafted as consultants to mitered bishops and "red hats" who didn't know their theology as well. Periti were credited for valuable breakthroughs in the discussion and writing of various documents. For example, John Courtney Murray, marginalized, became a major influence on Religious Freedom.
A movement's buzzwords or key words can each be explored in depth. Hands down, "aggiornamento" was universally picked up. Its less known twin is "resourcement." The interaction between the two gave rise to "continuity" and "discontinuity," "reform" and "rupture," revealing internal tensions among quarters.
Also entering the Catholic lexicon were "dialogue," "lay empowerment," "collegiality," "signs of the times," "inculturation," "sense of the faithful," "servant-priest," "the people of God," etc. Which ideas penetrated the life of the Church, and which just rolled off the table? The next approach may provide clues.
Back stories are always intriguing. Tensions have long existed between two persuasions: "progressives" and "conservatives," or "semper idem" (always the same) and "semper reformanda" (always in need of reform). The conflict has been an undercurrent before, during and after Vatican II, and up to this day. It is hypocrisy to pretend it isn't there. It is worth tracing as the legacy of Vatican II is buffeted by it. Compare the high hopes, expectations and euphoria of the 1960s to a depressing 2012 report card: B+ for renewal, C+ for reform, F "in too many places" (America, 8/13/12). Crucial questions must be answered: Has Vatican II moved forward, carried backward, or arrested to a standstill? And on what matters, to what extent, by whom, why?
Regardless, I hold high hopes for the last approach: an understanding and appreciation of the "Spirit" released by Vatican II. A spirit hovers; it flows; it lives; it can't be confined. It's not numbers; it's not turf. "Something happened." John XXIII "opened a window," and even if some are closing it, the "spirit" moves in and out at will.
"Humanae Vitae" was the first boom that was lowered. Change in the liturgy was the first visible reform; its language has just been brought back "close to the Latin." Restorationists may strike out Vatican II as "turning point," but it remains a turning point in the womb of the Church. There may barely be reform, but there is renewal.
What was that spirit? It was a liberation, an awakening, an epiphany; a readiness to talk and discuss, to pray with non-Catholics in their churches, to write without fear, to seek God in all things. Who is to say that one person is closer to God than another?
It is time to revisit Vatican II—unless you are one of those who act as if "it never happened."

"Everything we had downtown is going to come here," Mark said. "If somebody wanted to do their regular shopping here, they would be able to."
Lincoln-Spooner said expanding the Country Store would help fill the void left by the loss of the IGA, also noting the presence of Village Meat Market as a source for food items in Willsboro.
The McKennas expressed concern for senior citizens within the town, which made up much of their customer base and may find it hard to shop out of town. In response, they are instituting a grocery delivery program similar to the one they had at the IGA.
"We've always done it, and we will continue to do it," he said.

My new Mercier "track bike" was stolen from inside 722 Figueroa during the Mosley Tribes Presents: "A Native Perspective" party. If anyone has any information that might help me to get my bike back hit me up.
(It had a white bear up Turbo saddle, and some rare Japanese loose bearing peddles, on it when it was stolen)
I don't own a car and I don't have another complete bike besides a bmx bike. I have to take the bus everywhere now, and getting groceries is twice as hard. Basically I'm out $500 because I was promised my bike would be safe.

He is an excellent attorney. He handled my mediation and I was very happy with the outcome of my case. I could not have asked for a better attorney to work on my case.
Posted by Linda
Carlos is an extremely talented and hard-working attorney whose excellent knowledge of the law is beyond compare. The settlement of our lawsuit was beyond our expectations. The law firm's support team is amazing and compassionate and kept in constant communication with us.
Posted by Cicily
Carlos is a great attorney. He guided my in my medical malpractice and answered all my questions honestly. He is very professional. I would recommend Carlos and his staff to anyone.
Posted by er6287
I must say that I will and do recommend Carlos and his staff.....they made me feel great and at ease with this whole situation....I don't think they realize how this outcome of winning my case changed me.,. You will not be sorry that you choose them!!! Thank you for all your support Carlos!!!

This lawyer and his wonderful staff handled a wrongful death suit on behalf of my mother. It took 2 years to finally conclude the suit. Being in the court room for 5 days just confirmed to me how prepared they were. Truly professional they all did there job very well. Anyone not selecting their firm simply are making a mistake. I would highly recommend.
Posted by Theresa
Carlos Raul Diez-Arguelles & Staff were very caring, kind, respectful, compassionate and welcoming. The entire staff is detailed, knowledgeable and professional. Calls were returned promptly and they always kept an open line of communication. I would by all means highly recommend their services.
Posted by Paul
Mr Diez-Arguelles is an excellent lawyer. He definitely exceeded my expectations. He even resolved a legal issue relating to my case within a matter of days that had been litigated by another attorney for almost a year. He was well prepared for trial and quickly grasped the facts of my case. I was very satisfied with the financial outcome. No doubt, I highly recommend him for legal representation.
Posted by Glenn
Our case was complicated but the facts were on our side... Mr. Diez-Arguelles reviewed the facts and took my case when other "experts" would not. He was very patient & thoughtful with me and my family during the whole process. We always felt informed and part of the process. Mr. Diez-Arguelles always took the time to make sure we knew exactly where we stood and how our input and decisions would affect our case. I don't think we would have gotten the favorable result he and his staff were able to win for me and my family with any other firm. I owe him and his staff a debt of gratitude and I would recommend him to any person who has been injured by another's negligence.
Posted by Shay
His customer service skills are of the poorest. He treats each case like a case instead of a valued client. Been dealing with his firm for ten months and still no results. Would recommend you to another firm because this one has the most unprofessionalism I've ever dealt with. Do yourself a favor and choose another path.
Posted by Glenn
I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Diez Arguelles on several occasions. I can say with all certainty he is the finest trial lawyer I have ever encountered. His poise, intellect & presence are game changing in the courtroom. It is most important to note that Mr. Diez Arguelles is a man of his word. Many law firms spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to advertise their way to a reputation. Mr. Diez Arguelles has earned his upstanding reputation; for many years he has represented individuals who desperately need a voice and a champion of their cause.
I am a business owner who has had the pleasure of working with several blue chip" law firms over the years. I can say, without hesitation, that any individual or organization would be fortunate to engage the services of Carlos Diez Arguelles.

Cape Cod Canal Celebrates Its Centennial
Cape Cod Canal Celebrates Its Centennial
Celebrate 100 years of recreation and transportation with festivals, parades and fun.
What You'll Find
The Cape Cod Canal boasts a rich history of protecting U.S. naval ships from prowling German U-Boats, shaving miles and hours from the vital New York-Boston trade route, helping merchant mariners avoid Cape Cod's perilously rocky shore and providing modern hikers and bicyclists with two gorgeous trails along each of its shores.
Ship watchers, sailors, bicyclists, walkers, picnickers and outdoors lovers will celebrate the Canal's centennial in 2014 with numerous maritime-themed events sponsored by the Cape Cod Centennial Committee. These events will highlight the canal's vital role in U.S. commercial transportation and will feature ship tours, a tugboat parade, music festival, Parade of Lights, Family Fun Day, all-star baseball game and so much more!
Getting There
The Cape Cod Canal stretches 17.5 miles at the base of Cape Cod, from Sandwich on Cape Cod Bay to the east and Buzzards Bay to the west. The Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center is located in Sandwich, Massachusetts, and is open May 1 through October 26.
Make Sure You
Tour the Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center and watch some of the dozens of boats, from recreational sailboats to immense oil tankers, as they pass by each day. Every six hours, visitors can watch the fast-moving current as it changes direction over the course of a half hour of "slack time" with the ebbing and flowing of the tides. This Tide Tables chart (PDF) shows when the current changes direction. Learn more about the Canal's deep history that goes back to when Myles Standish first envisioned the Canal. See how the Corps manages the endless parade of vessel traffic on the Canal, board a retired 40-foot patrol boat, enjoy a knot-tying station and participate in a fishing exhibit for kids. Watch as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers traffic control personnel activate immense counterweights to lower the center span of the beautiful railroad bridge (PDF) when a train approaches; the span normally remains in the raised position to accommodate water traffic.
The nearby town of Sandwich, which is celebrating its 375th anniversary this year, is hosting Seafest on July 26 to celebrate the town's long maritime history, ending the day with a festive clambake, dance party and other events along the shores of the Canal at the Sandwich Marina near the Cape Cod Canal Visitors Center. Stay for the Parade of Lights, in which brilliantly-lit commercial and recreational boats will traverse the length of the canal. For boat owners who want to participate in the Parade of Lights, register your boat here.
Try This
Visit the 295-foot Eagle, a U.S. Coast Guard barque that was taken as a war prize from the Nazis after World War II and now serves as a training facility for future officers at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Tours of the Eagle and the 170-year old Charles W. Morgan, a whaling boat that is the oldest U.S. commercial ship afloat, will be offered at the docks of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.
Get Started
Experience the Cape Cod Canal by biking or hiking along the two paved service roads on each side of the Canal. Several points of interest can be found in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Self-Guided Bike Hike brochure (PDF). Bicycles can be rented one-half mile west of the Bourne Bridge.
Did You Know?
The Cape Cod Canal is a shortcut from Cape Cod Bay to Buzzards Bay that was envisioned by Myles Standish very early in U.S. history as a way to accelerate sea travel between New York and Boston, and help mariners avoid the Cape's perilous rocky shores. It took August Belmont II, a wealthy financier who also built the Belmont Park racetrack and the IRT line of the New York subway, to undertake the huge engineering project in the early 20th century. Fewer than 20 years later, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was assigned by Congress to take over and deepen the Canal. Read here for more information about the Canal's history.

GREENUP, Ky. — The Greenup County Health Department will host a community blood drive Monday, Nov. 4, 2013, from noon until 6 p.m. in the Dr. Willis C. Potter Health Education Center.
Cassie Mace, a Health Educator for the Greenup County Health Department and event organizer, said donations are greatly need during the holiday season.
"With the holiday season quickly approaching, blood donations slow and our local blood supply becomes very low. I encourage everyone to be 'The Giving Type' and donate before the holidays get any closer," Mace said.
With blood supplies remaining at critical levels, all blood types are needed. Whole blood and double red blood donations will be accepted.
According to the Greenup County Health Department, every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood due to an emergency, in addition to those who have cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell, anemia, and other illnesses.
Nearly 5 million people receive blood transfusions each year, and each donation can make the difference between life and death.
The Health Department held their first blood drive last May and collected 28 units. Mace said she would like to see that many, or more, donations at the November blood drive.
Tips for blood donors include eating a healthy meal prior to the donation, drinking lots of water, avoiding caffeinated drinks prior to the donation appointment.
Donors must be a minimum of 17 years-old, weigh at least 110 pounds, and feel well prior to giving blood. A photo identification or American Red Cross donor card is required.
Appointments are not necessary; walk-ins are always welcome. For more information contact Cassie Mace of the Greenup County Health Department at 606-473-9838.

Catawba County's young professionals say it will take a combination of jobs and quality-of-life improvements to keep young people from leaving the region.
In the past 10 years, the county has had a 15-percent decline in the population ages 25 to 34. In that same time period, surrounding counties have also witnessed a 25-percent decline in the younger age brackets.
The elderly population has skyrocketed throughout.
On Wednesday, members of the Hickory Young Professionals (HYP) met with city and county officials to brainstorm ideas for how to bring youth back to the area. They talked about what must come first, the chicken (jobs) or the egg (quality of life).
HYP member Matt Crouse said it may be a mixture of both.
"Right now, I can count six to eight of my friends that have moved to (Spartanburg, S.C.) or (Greenville, S.C.) and won't come back," he said.
"They have fun and have easy access to entertainment and the outdoors.
They've got some of those corporation things there, too, like BMW. They have some bigger businesses that take chances on younger people."
HYP member J.P. Jones said it can sometimes be difficult to compete for young people with close metropolitan areas like Charlotte and Winston-Salem close by.
"Hickory is very consistent and it's beautiful and historic, but the big things that attract young people to other places is the unpredictability.
People like that unpredictability at younger ages," Jones said.
While many young professionals thought the "unpredictability" of Charlotte and other major cities attract students that are fresh out of college, others said Hickory's "slower-paced" and "reliable" lifestyle can also be used as a tool to draw new parents to the area.
"The Hickory area is a wonderful place to grow up and very friendly.
It's a great place to raise your children," said Bryan Dingler, business development director at Clark Tire & Auto in Hickory. "I've been very fortunate to start a career here, but a lot of people don't have that. They have nothing holding them back from going to Charlotte, Raleigh or somewhere else."
The young professionals worked in small groups to compile a list of suggestions to improve Hickory's young-population base. The list will be used as part of the Catawba County Chamber of Commerce's planned "competitiveness plan" that area economic professionals will develop in coming months.
Some of the suggestions included better internship programs, movement in big business, outdoor venues and larger shopping areas.
"This conversation is being had in every boardroom, Chamber and council in America," said Amy Powell, vice president of the Catawba County Chamber of Commerce. "It's a big topic."

Glad somebody finally is shedding light on this!
Quit worrying about building fire stations and stuff like that that are really not needed and get some businesses that cater to young people and families in here so we can keep the folks that we depend upon for our future tax base, or we are gonna have nothing but the elderly and the illegal aliens who both draw our support not contribute!
We have a lot of retired military here (you would fit in, NOT LIKELY!!) but have a GREAT life. Our new fire station is several years old. Nothing as old as yours. Come down and I will pay for a round of golf for you on the famous Pinehurst # 2. Will have to pay your own caddy.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers are looking to return to Raleigh next week to take up some pending legislation, but House and Senate Republicans have agreed on nothing to consider so far, a key House leader said Wednesday.
Rep. Paul Stam, R-Wake, said all House members should be prepared to return Aug. 14, but had little additional information. Stam made the comments while presiding over a skeleton floor meeting of the chamber to keep this year's work session going in keeping with the state constitution. A half dozen House members attended.
The House and Senate left town last week after passing a budget-adjustment bill — usually a sign that the annual session officially would soon end. But the two chambers failed to agree on a work schedule for the rest of the year, so the session continues.
House Republicans wants to finalize several pieces of legislation with the Senate next week, including a procedure to clean up coal ash at Duke Energy sites statewide.
Any votes next week would "only be on things that there's an agreement" to vote on, said Stam, the second-ranking leader in the chamber. "Nothing yet, but there is discussion about it."
But Senate Republicans would prefer to stay away until mid-November. That's when the Senate and House had tentatively agreed to work out differences on Medicaid overhaul legislation.
"With Gov. McCrory's decision to sign the budget, the Senate has concluded its business until the previously agreed to session on Medicaid reform in November," said Amy Auth, a spokesman for Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, in a release. Another senator said Tuesday, however, predicted coal ash cleanup legislation could be discussed next week.
Gov. Pat McCrory also could bring legislators back to work if he vetoed a bill on his desk. McCrory scheduled a bill-signing ceremony Thursday, but his office late Wednesday didn't disclose what measure it would be.
The Senate next holds a no-vote session Thursday morning, followed by the House Sunday afternoon.
Leaders of the Democrats, in the minority in the House and Senate, said Wednesday their colleagues are confused about what will happen next.
"I don't know what to tell them," said Senate Minority Leader Dan Blue, D-Wake. "Somebody needs to talk to us."

Re: Official Flight Simulator X Thread
Hey guys,
I work for one of the big FS addon developers and I made something of a tweakguide for our customers who were getting bad performance in FSX on our forum... thought maybe this could help some of you:
For those of you coming from other games where 60+ FPS is the norm, just understand that we've never had that in FS unfortunately... I wish we did and there's a million reasons why we don't, but somewhere around 20-30FPS is considered optimal for the FS engine. Fortunately it's a game that doesn't really require a high framerate most of the time to look convincing unless you're talking about doing low-level stunt maneuvers or something. For what I use it for (mostly airliner IFR simulation), it's fine. The MS devs are working on ways to improve performance though and we should see a marked improvement when the patch(es) flow forth... Try out my guide though, I'm getting around 20FPS most of the time and looks far far superior to FS2004 even with all the addons I have for the older version.
Btw, to whoever posted the link to the Matterhorn screenshot in X-Plane, that was really misleading. That's taken using a 17GB terrain mesh addon that you have to buy separately from the game. Similar products exist for FS as well (check out
) - that is NOT how that area will look in the default X-Plane. FSX supports insanely high terrain mesh and texture resolution values for the future and will likely look even better than that shot as soon as we have the hardware to run it. Default FSX terrain is 38m mesh (some 76m outside the US) and 1m texture resolution by the way, so don't set your sliders any higher than that...

EXCELLENCE IN HEALTHCARE: The Chairman of Wockhardt Hospitals, Habil Khorakiwala (left), with Harvey Makadon of Harvard Medical International at a press conference in Mumbai on Wednesday.
MUMBAI: Wockhardt Hospitals Ltd. (WHL), Mumbai, has become the first super specialty hospital in South Asia to achieve accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI), U.S. With this, the company joins the exclusive group of 71 hospitals worldwide that have passed JCI's stringent quality standards.
JCI is the international arm of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, which evaluates quality standards of US hospitals.
The accreditation follows a rigorous onsite evaluation of Wockhardt Hospitals by an international surveyor team of healthcare experts in August. "The accreditation process requires a hospital to comply with almost 1,300 measurable standards. Wockhardt is the only Harvard Medical International (HMI) associate outside the U.S. to win this recognition,'' said Andrew Jeon, COO, HMI.
Addressing the media, Habil Khorakiwala, Chairman, WHL, said, "While Mumbai is our first greenfield hospital to receive the JMI accreditation, in future all our Greenfield projects will also get accredited.''
WHL runs a cluster of super specialty hospitals in Mumbai dedicated to cardiology, neurology, orthopaedics, ophthalmology and minimal access surgery. It runs heart hospitals in Bangalore, Mumbai and Nagpur and a super specialty kidney hospital in Kolkata.
Public issue not planned
In the next six months, WHL plans to set up a super specialty tertiary care 400-bed hospital in Bangalore and over the next four years, it plans to set up specialty hospitals in Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi.
These four hospitals are being set up at a cost of Rs 500 crore, raised through equity and debt said Mr. Khorakiwala. He said the Wockhardt group was not planning to take WHL public.
WHL treats several patients from Asia, Middle East and Africa and in recent months, the hospital has received patients from Europe.
International patients account for around 8 per cent of total patients treated.

ApplianceMaytag Dishwasher
Level of DifficultyReally easy
Time to do repairLess than 15 mins
Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years
I watched the video when I ordered the part and then watched it again just before installing the door gasket. I pulled the existing gasket out of the channel. The air space inside the new and old gasket is triagular so make sure you take note which side of the gasket goes into the channel first(you'll understand when you see it). I wiped out the channel and gently fed the gasket into the dishwasher's channel with my fingers. Before I installed the new gasket the door latch closed with no resistance. Now I have to push the door in hard with my thumbs at the top of the door in the middle to get it to latch when I run the dishwasher. It all was so easy and there is not a drop of water leaking. The week before I ordered the door gasket I ordered and installed the tiny little gasket that seals the detergent door latch. I didn't realize anything was leaking at that time. The only reason it was discovered was because the detergent door wouldn't pop open to release the detergent and we were working on that issue. When taking the dishwasher door apart we noticed that the cardboard insulation was wet as well as the other insulation and could tell it was coming from the circular opening in the metal. We dried out the cardboard. Then cut off the bottom that had been wet. We cut a double thickness of cardboard to size from a large box. Then taped it on to the bottom of the piece that hadn'et gotten wet. It's important to have that cardboard intalled because it protects the outside of the door from getting dented as well as for sound. When the new little gasket was delivered we installed it and the detergent door worked fine again. We ran the dishwasher through a cycle and that's when we discovered that the door gasket was leaking. I wish I would have ordered both gaskets at the same time. If I would have read the postings on this website when I ordered the detergent door gasket, I would have ordered the door gasket. Oh well, everything worked out. I just spent an extra shipping charge. Still an enormous savings over hiring a Maytag repairman.

Ex-Kentucky staffer broke NCAA rules
As the college basketball universe gathers for the Final Four in this burgeoning city, controversial Kentucky coach John Calipari once again finds himself at the center of it.
In just his second season with the Wildcats, he has rejuvenated the tradition-rich program from the depths of missing the NCAA tournament in 2009 for the first time in 18 years and guided it to its first Final Four since its 1998 national championship behind another one of his celebrated freshman classes.
In doing so, Calipari has become just the second coach to take three different programs to the Final Four, although his appearances with Massachusetts and Memphis were stricken after violations of NCAA rules during his watch were later discovered. His fourth-seeded Wildcats (29-8) play third-seeded Connecticut (30-9) on Saturday in the national semifinals.
But forgotten in Calipari's quick turnaround of Kentucky is a native of this bustling metroplex who was instrumental in the Wildcats' resurrection: Bilal Batley.
Batley abruptly resigned as assistant director of basketball operations/manager after he violated NCAA rules by rebounding for a player during a workout in July 2009. Kentucky self-reported the secondary violation and sent Batley a letter of admonishment.
Batley's job did not allow him to have on-court interaction with players. When he resigned, a team spokesman said he did so to return home because of an illness in his family.
But a nearly two-year FOXSports.com investigation revealed that Batley also broke NCAA rules by making repeated impermissible telephone calls while at both Memphis and Kentucky to recruits, such as DeMarcus Cousins, and their parents.
When approached by a FOXSports.com reporter after his news conference on Friday, Calipari refused to address any questions concerning whether he was aware of Batley's calls and whether or not Kentucky self-reported the violations.
NCAA rules state that all telephone calls made to or received from a recruit, his parents, legal guardians or coaches must be made and received by a team's head coach or three countable assistant coaches.
According to Memphis and Kentucky, Batley was not a countable coach at either school. NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson declined comment to FOXSports.com on the alleged violations.
But Cousins, a Sacramento Kings rookie forward who played for Kentucky as a freshman last season and then left for the NBA draft, said Batley played a "big role" in him committing first to Memphis. He then followed Calipari to Kentucky shortly after the coach's hiring in April 2009.
Cousins was the first major recruit that Calipari landed at Kentucky and helped re-establish the Wildcats' recruiting reputation among the nation's elite. He said he and his mother, Monique Cousins, talked to Batley on the telephone while he was at Memphis and Kentucky.
"We stayed in contact with him frequently," DeMarcus Cousins told FOXSports.com in an interview prior to his first game at Kentucky.
TOP TOURNEY MOMENTSCheck out the top 10 moments in NCAA tournament history.
Oklahoma freshman guard Cameron Clark and Houston point guard L.J. Rose, one of the nation's top recruits in the Class of 2012, both said they also talked to Batley via telephone and through text messages while he was at Kentucky.
"He talks to my dad a lot," Rose said shortly after Batley's resignation. "I talk to him once or twice every two weeks."
Rose's AAU coach, Marland Lowe of Houston Hoops, said he and Batley had talked "all the time."
When contacted by FOXSports.com, Batley, who said he coached this past season at Navarro College, a junior college in Corsicana, Texas, declined to answer any questions.
"I don't want to, you know, kind of move forward in terms of writing a story about myself at this moment of time," said Batley, 28. "I kind of want to leave it at that."
Batley recommended that FOXSports.com call former NBA coach and mentor John Lucas for "anything about me." Batley said he works for Lucas and got his coaching start under him, but declined to give specifics.
"That's kind of who's over me right now," said Batley, a 2007 graduate of the University of Oklahoma.
But when contacted about Batley, Lucas had nothing to say about him.
"I don't know why he gave you my number to call," Lucas said.
Lucas said he would talk to Batley and call back FOXSports.com, but he never did. Lucas did not return subsequent telephone and text messages left on his cell phone.
Long before being hired by Calipari, Batley had a checkered past.
While a student assistant coach at Navarro for three years, Batley was driving a van carrying players back from a game in February 2004 when the vehicle was broadsided by a tractor-trailer rig in Paris, Texas, killing two players and injuring five others inside.
Prior to the collision, he and the driver of another van carrying Navarro players had missed their turns and both were backtracking. The other van made a u-turn and Batley was doing the same behind it when his van was struck by the tractor-trailer.
The case was presented to a grand jury and Batley was not indicted, said Shane Boatwright, the lead investigator of the wreck for Paris police department.
Batley then left Navarro and became a student manager at Oklahoma under then-Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson, who along with his assistants was found by the NCAA to have made 577 impermissible telephone calls to recruits from 2000 to 2004.
When Sampson left for Indiana in April 2006, he was banned a month later by the NCAA from calling recruits and making off-campus visits for a year because of the extra calls at Oklahoma. Batley eventually joined Sampson at Indiana as a graduate manager.
While working for the Hoosiers, Batley attended several high school games of then-highly touted recruit Nolan Dennis, a shooting guard out of Richland Hills, Texas, according to Richard Bacon, Dennis' high school coach.
"Somehow or another they got real close," Bacon said. "They spent a lot of time together. Bilal was at a lot of our games his sophomore year. I didn't even know who he was until I saw him at our games."
But Dennis had attended a Dynasty Elite Camp that Batley ran for top recruits just outside of Memphis in the summer of 2006 while Batley was in between jobs at Oklahoma and Indiana. It was also attended by Cousins, current North Carolina sophomores Dexter Strickland and Leslie McDonald, current Memphis freshman point guard Joe Jackson and current Portland Trailblazers rookie guard Elliot Williams.
Indiana eventually rose to the top of Dennis' list, but Sampson resigned in February 2008 after an NCAA report charged him with five major rules violations, which included violating the telephone recruiting restrictions imposed on him for his actions at Oklahoma.
Dennis ended up committing to Memphis in July 2008 – about a month before Batley joined Calipari and the Tigers as assistant director of basketball operations/manager. While Batley was at Indiana and Memphis, Dennis said he received calls from him.
When Calipari left for Kentucky, Dennis reopened his recruitment and signed at Baylor, where he left last month because of medical reasons.
McDonald and Strickland also confirmed through a school spokesman that they were contacted by Batley while he was at Indiana. After meeting Batley at his Dynasty Elite Camp, Jackson also said Batley called him often.
"We talked a lot, but not as much as you'd expect," Jackson said.
This Final Four, Kentucky's spotlight shines on Calipari and his quest to capture his elusive first national championship. But for Batley, college basketball's bright lights have dimmed.

SingPost fined $30,000 for stolen trolley of letters
Published on Apr 2, 2014 5:10 PM
SingPost has been fined $30,000 - its largest so far - for losing 400 to 500 letters in a fiasco last year involving the theft of a mail trolley.
The theft on Sept 5 took place at Block 734 in Woodlands Circle. The letters were meant to be delivered to six blocks of flats in Woodlands.
A female postal worker had left her mail trolley unattended while she used a bathroom three blocks away. When she returned after about 10 minutes, the trolley was missing. SingPost had said that the female postal worker did not take the postal items with her as it was raining heavily and she did not want them to get wet.
The Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) said the loss was a breach of SingPost's public postal licensee conditions, which require it to minimise the risk of loss, theft and damage to letters. "SingPost's measures and procedures to safeguard mail integrity were found to be lacking," IDA said.

Foundation Releases Update on Hospital Charity Care
ST. LOUIS – Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) has released Charity Care at Missouri Hospitals: 2006 to 2007. Prepared by the St. Louis Business Health Coalition, it is the fourth report in a series examining how 2005 changes to Medicaid have affected 40 Missouri hospitals, based on uncompensated care and emergency department use data.
Uncompensated care can be defined as health care services for which a hospital does not expect to receive payment. This includes charity care, bad debt, and services that are billed to patients but go unpaid.
The new report and its accompanying Executive Summary provide important data and analysis of Missouri hospitals' increasing concerns about uncompensated care.
Below are some key points included in the report:
Charity Care at Missouri Hospitals: 2006 to 2007 can be downloaded free of charge at http://www.mffh.org/mm/files/CharityCare06-07Report.pdf. The Executive Summary is available at http://www.mffh.org/mm/files/CharityCare06-07ExecutiveSummary.pdf.
Established in 2000, MFH is the largest nongovernmental funder of community health activities in Missouri. MFH is in its eighth year of grantmaking, having issued more than $418 million in grants and awards to date. It is dedicated to improving the health of unserved and underserved residents in 84 Missouri counties and the City of St. Louis.

What's Hitting Earth?
By Dauna Coulter, Science @ NASA
Every day about 100 tons of meteoroids — fragments of dust and gravel and sometimes even big rocks "" enter the Earth's atmosphere. Stand out under the stars for more than a half an hour on a clear night and you'll likely see a few of the meteors produced by the onslaught. But where does all this stuff come from? Surprisingly, the answer is not well known.
Now NASA is deploying a network of smart cameras across the United States to answer the question, What's Hitting Earth?
Did that meteor you saw blazing through the sky last night come from the asteroid belt? Was it created in a comet's death throes? Or was it a piece of space junk meeting a fiery demise?
"When I get to work each morning and power up my computer, there's an email waiting with answers," says William Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "And I don't have to lift a finger, except to click my mouse button."
Groups of smart cameras in the new meteor network triangulate the fireballs' paths, and special software1 uses the data to compute their orbits and email Cooke his morning message.
"If someone calls me and asks 'What was that?' I'll be able to tell them. We'll have a record of every big meteoroid that enters the atmosphere over the certain parts of the U.S. Nothing will burn up in those skies without me knowing about it!"
In other U.S. meteor networks, someone has to manually look at all the cameras' data and calculate the orbits "" a painstaking process.
"With our network, our computers do it for us "" and fast," says Cooke.
The network's first three cameras, each about the size of a gumball machine, are already up and running. Cooke's team will soon have 15 cameras deployed east of the Mississippi River, with plans to expand nationwide2. Cooke is actively seeking schools, science centers, and planetaria willing to host his cameras. Criteria are listed in the notes at the end of this story.
In addition to tracking fireballs and their orbits, Cooke's system gives him other valuable information.
"It provides data on meteor speed as a function of size "" and this is critical to calibrating the models we use in designing spacecraft."
Meteorite hunters will reap benefits too. By determining a bright fireball's trajectory through the atmosphere, the network's software can calculate whether it will plunge to Earth and pinpoint the impact location fairly precisely.
"And when we collect the meteorite chunks, we'll know their source. I could be holding a piece of Vesta in my hand.3 It would be like a free sample return mission!"
Opportunities like that, however, will be rare. "Most meteorites fall in the ocean, lakes, forests, farmer's fields, or the Antarctic," says Rhiannon Blaauw, who assists Cooke. "And the majority of those meteorites will never be found. But our system will help us track down more of them."
All cameras in the network send their fireball information to Cooke and to a public website, fireballs.ndc.nasa.gov. Teachers can contact Cooke at firstname.lastname@example.com to request teacher workshop slides containing suggestions for classroom use of the data. Students can learn to plot fireball orbits and speeds, where the objects hit the ground, how high in the atmosphere the fireballs burn up, etc.
Cooke gives this advice to students and others who want to try meteor watching on their own:
"Go out on a clear night, lie flat on your back, and look straight up. It will take 30 to 40 minutes for your eyes to become light adapted, so be patient. By looking straight up, you may catch meteor streaks with your peripheral vision too. You don't need any special equipment — just your eyes."
One more thing — don't forget to check the website to find out what you saw!
(1) The smart meteor network uses ASGARD (All Sky and Guided Automatic Realtime Detection) software, developed at the University of Western Ontario with both NASA and Canadian funding, to process the information and perform the triangulation needed to determine the orbits and origins of the fireballs. The Southern Ontario Meteor Network, or SOMN, composed of seven cameras, also uses the ASGARD system.
(2) The cameras will be deployed in clusters of 5. One group will be spread over the Southeast US, another in the Ohio and Kentucky area (to overlap with the Southern Ontario Meteor Network, or SOMN), and another along the Atlantic coast in the NorthEast. "Our hope is that at least one of the three regions will have clear skies at any given time."
Here are the criteria that must be met for a location to be considered as a camera site:
1. Location east of the Mississippi River
2. Clear horizon (few trees)
3. Few bright lights (none close to camera)
4. Fast internet connection
(3) The meteorite will have been altered by its journey, so it is not a pristine sample, but, says Cooke, it is a good enough sample to give you basic characteristics of the non-volatiles.

E-business occurs when a company has established critical business procedures and activities to support e-commerce transactions. Using this definition, e-commerce is part of e-business—a company needs e-commerce to implement e-business. Utilizing e-commerce, however, does not mean that a company has transformed into an e-business. E-business is implemented only when a company changes its internal procedures to take advantage of the e-commerce technologies.
Interest in the evolution ("e-volution") of e-commerce into e-business is a growth field. With the early November announcement that GM and Ford were forming online marketplaces for their suppliers, they placed themselves at the center of new e-business ecosystems that will transform their entire way of doing business. Many firms are increasingly discovering opportunities to move away from simply selling products on the Internet to being able to reinvent their conventional supply chains (as in the auto makers' case) and to being able to offer custom-built products (as Dell Computers does now).
Audience: Managers and staff who head up e-business implementation efforts; managers considering e-business implementation and want to know the best methods to employ; employees involved in e-business implementation; entrepreneurs interested in starting an e-business; consultants who want to pursue e-business implementation as a line of business; IT professionals who want to establish themselves and their groups firmly in e-business.
When you do E-Business, you will likely employ a mixture of some of the following E-Business components:
Surveys indicate that firms have gotten a rapid payback for their E-Business investment if the underlying business activities were improved correctly. Firms cite as benefits the following:
E-Business implementation aims to implement electronic transactions as well as modifying current business activities to integrate and interface with the electronic transactions. Implementing E-Business then transforms your current business as well as enabling you to support electronic business.
At the heart of E-Business implementation you are installing new methods and procedures as well as changing current ones. In the past improvements have often employed continuous improvement or reengineering-with very mixed results. In continuous improvement you seek to change the company processes over time. Unfortunately, this is too slow for E-Business implementation. Reengineering aims at radical process change. This sounds nice, but many companies have found that this doesn't work. The organization becomes traumatized. People become resentful since they perceive that their jobs are threatened. It is no wonder that the success rate is less than 50%. In E-Business implementation, a key goal is to involve many employees-down to the lowest levels of the organization. Participation leads to commitment. Commitment leads to E-Business success.
Our approach has the following themes:
Some standard terminology will be used throughout the book. Here are some definitions of frequently used terms:
Why do businesses change how they do their work to implement E-Business? E-Business implementation can take place for both external and internal reasons. External reasons include changes in competition, supplier-customer relations, government regulation, and technology. Internal reasons may include management direction, lack of flexibility, and obsolescence of current work practices. Change is also motivated by the simple fact that the existing business activities do not live up to management expectations-on top of E-Business pressures. Perhaps, people have been focused on the "how" and not the "what," "who," or "where." Perhaps, the people performing the work feel comfortable and secure with "the way it has always been" and have not reevaluated the workflow for awhile. Whatever the reason, the current workflow and procedures are failing or have already failed and will not support E-Business as they are. Another basic premise of the book is that since you are spending all of this money and energy on E-Business, you should achieve flexibility and improve current workflow and procedures at the start-to the extent that time permits.
When change is called for, pouring effort into changes to systems, technology, and organization structure may not improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of the work. Implementing E-Business requires wide-ranging, concentrated effort-effort that is technical, political, and managerial in nature. E-Business implementation requires elapsed time because the culture in the organization must be altered toward an E-Business culture.
