text:
Some 21 years ago, the then exiled former commanding general of the Armed Forces of Liberia, Gen. Thomas G. Quiwonkpa, "took the ultimate gamble" to topple the military junta of Pres. Samuel Kanyon Doe.
Under circumstances that eyewitnesses tell in contradicting accounts up to today, he failed and his mutilated body was dragged on the streets of Monrovia.
Hailed the 'Strong Man' of the 1980 coup d'etat that ended more than hundred years of Congo hegemony, many considered Quiwonkpa a 'legend' and a 'patriot' who stood between the people of Liberia and tyranny.
Little did these people know that the water that they saw ran deeper than met the eyes.
Now, the widow of Gen. Quiwonkpa is contending that their 'legend' was simply an agent of an even bigger group of 'legends of change'. She sees victim out of what many see as victor and feels abandoned and neglected by this group of legends.
The Analyst Staff Writer brings you the contentions she raised in an interview recently, in the US where she lives, with an online magazine.
For the second time in less than two years Gen. Thomas Quiwonkpa's widow, Tarloh, has taken to the waves of the Internet to remind Liberians that it is their President and her former colleagues that rendered her widow in 1985.
President Jhnson-Sirleaf won a narrow presidential victory last year over political neophyte, George Weah, on what many say is her own political merit built in past struggle for political change.
But Mrs. Quiwonkpa insisted there was a military underside to that much-heralded struggle for political and regime change, suggesting that the President may have ridden on the martyrdom of her late husband.
Mrs. Quiwonkpa has yet to establish convincing links between her husband's death and President Sirleaf's victory at the October 2006 polls, but that has not reduced her passion for some level of recognition by the President and her former colleagues, some of whom are currently at the helm of government.
Because of the sacrifice she believes Gen. Quiwonkpa made in bringing political change to Liberia, she insisted, the Quiwonkpa family comprising the widow and four children one of whom was a baby when Thomas was allegedly masterminded to invade Liberia in 1985, deserves special attention and care.
Whether the attention and care being sought is on the government of Liberia, since those she claimed sent her husband to his early grave are all currently in government, or on private basis is not clear.
What is clear though is that Mrs. Quinwonkpa believes in her story that the "legendary general of the PRC from Nimba County" was pushed against his "friend" President Samuel Kanyon Doe from Grand Gedeh County and that she is bitter about the scheme even after 21 years.
Having achieved their goals, she claimed, the President and her surviving associates including Harry Greaves, Harry Yuan, Thomas Woewiyu, and Eric Scott, amongst others, have failed to acknowledge the grief caused her.
Greaves and Yuan currently head the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company (LPRC) and the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), in that order, in the Sirleaf Administration. Woewiyu who entered a courtship with Taylor is out of government currently while the whereabouts of Scott remains unknown.
Analysts say whether their presence in the current administration is coincidental, or confirms their former comradeship with the President requires separate probe.
They however conjecture that how ever these men got in government, their presence may be fueling Mrs. Quiwonkpa's bitterness and contention that they are benefiting from her husband's martyrdom.
"I try to find ways in my heart to forgive these people but at the same token you ask yourself, isn't it the moral responsibility of these people to reach out," Mrs. Quiwonkpa asked rhetorically in a recent interview with an online magazine.
Those who sent Quiwonkpa to take on the Samuel Doe's military junta that had just rigged a presidential election in October 1985, Tarloh contended, knew he was a family man and should have identified with that family even though he failed.
"I'm not asking for money. But someone you knew, who was your comrade passed away, is that how you just turn your back on them, on the loved ones he left behind?" she wondered. She said since the coup failed not a single time has any of those "involved reflected to say let me help Thomas' children".
There are unconfirmed rumors that President Johnson-Sirleaf is sponsoring Jleteh Quiwonkpa, one of the sons of the general in college. The rumors though did not say where and at what cost.
But when confirmed, that is, isn't that a tacit recognition of Quiwonkpa's role in the pressure for regime change from abroad? Tarloh doesn't seem to think that is sufficient as she continues to dwell in the past, the unraveling of which she believes will justify and bring veneration to her husband's soul.
"Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf presidential ambition is once again an indication of how far Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf and Mr. Yuan would go to achieve their political objectives. Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf desperately wants to become the President of Liberia; therefore, she does not care how she achieves her goal.
Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf and Mr. Yuan should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting the youngest son of General Thomas Quiwonkpa in their desire to achieve political power in Liberia.
Their primary objective is to undermine our attempt to hold Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf and others accountable for their roles in the death of my husband," she said in the same interview.
The reference to "exploiting the youngest son of Gen. Thomas Quiwonkpa" relates, according observers, to Jleteh Thomas' reported pledge of support, on behalf of the Quiwonkpa family, to Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf's bid for president in the October 2005 presidential and parliamentary elections.
Even though Madam Sirleaf won that election without anyone raising the question of electoral coercion, which would have been a violation of the fair campaign clause of the Elections Laws of Liberia, Mrs. Quiwonkpa contends the story she has to tell is worth the while of the Liberian people even in their desperation to forget the past and forge ahead.
Her husband's death, it seems, is complicated by the continued neglect and the conspiracy she is claiming. "In 1985, Mr. Harry Yuan and Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf convinced Gen. Quiwonkpa to sign onto the invasion of Liberia despite the fact that he was not part of the original planning process, which ended his life leaving his four children fatherless. Jleteh and Yormie never saw their father.
This is the second attempt by Mrs. Johnson-Sirleaf and Mr. Yuan to use the Quiwonkpa family to achieve their political goal. The planning of the invasion of Liberia occurred in the United States in 1985 when Jleteh was a baby in Liberia," she blathered.
In that case, many say, the best thing she can do is to take her grievances to the Liberia Truth and Reconciliation Conciliation (TRC) that is established to resolve all bitterness and promote the peaceful reunification of all Liberians.
But does she trust the TRC; will she accede to it? Not Tarloh who seems to stoop under the weight of so much grief and paranoia.
She wants to have it her own way, away from the rest of Liberia's more than 3.0 million aggrieved people who are waiting on line to appear before the TRC to tell their stories and seek redress, beginning January next year.
Tarloh told the online magazine that there is a Father Hayden who could be approach to confirm her tale about Quiwonkpa being lured by Mrs. Sirleaf and others into going against the Doe government, but that the TRC will not be the proper forum.
"At what channel do I file my grievances. I don't trust those people who they have on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. I don't know how partial they are. I want to go through a neutral board to make my own complaints," she told the online magazine.
She accused the President and her former colleagues of ignoring her complaints in order to cover up their past but vowed not to rest until the full story was told to the world and the Liberian people. "I don't understand why they're still trying to keep things under cover. Even to this day, they have not said a word to me or contacted me," she said.
Even though this is the umpteenth time Mrs. Quiwonkpa has laid claims of conspiracy to murder at the feet of President Sirleaf and her colleagues for political change, it is only Harry Yuan that came close to acknowledging Quiwonkpa's role in the struggle to unseat Doe.
In a commentary on The Perspective last year, Harry Yuan accused certain forces of conniving with Quiwonkpa's widow into making a case against him.
"I do no justice to the memory of my late brother and friend, Gen. Quiwonkpa, Tarloh's honor, and the unimaginable pain she has endured for the loss of her dear husband by engaging in claims and counter-claims about abandoning Mrs. Quiwonkpa. I'm earnestly praying for Tarloh to return home sometime soon so that I can have the opportunity, at last, to wipe her tears," Yuan wrote.
He continued, "Mrs. Quiwonkpa lost a husband; Nimba County lost a beloved son; Liberia lost a legend and a patriot, and I lost a brother and friend whom I loved and cherished. If, after twenty years, I have not come to terms with the loss of Gen. Quiwonkpa, no one should expect Tarloh, his wife, to stop crying and no one should exploit her pain for personal gain."
It is not clear how anyone would want to exploit her pain, but observers say if she is to come home and there is reason to wipe her tears, than an invitation may have to be extended by those who she sees only in rage.
That, they say, will ease Tarloh's quest for morale appeal to the whole issue of the November 12 foiled attempt to overthrow Doe and Quiwonkpa's death in the process.
"I'm not looking for revenge. I want people to know that because revenge is not going to do anything for me or anybody else. It is just the morality of the event that took place because we all learn from history. And then you move into the future and you learn what it was all about.
We build upon history, so my thing is and the reason why I would like to have some kind of a dialogue and some kind of awareness about this whole thing so people can know that the stance I'm taking now is not because I want to retaliate against anyone; that's not my objective. The thing is that we all must believe in morality," she said.
It is not known when morality has been key to political questions in Africa or anywhere else on the globe, but if Tarloh succeeds in her quest, many say, Liberia would be setting new political standards for the world to follow.

State of Mind
Challenge Cup hangovers, listening to the players and State of Mind make Brian Carney's Set of Six.
Last Updated: 11/09/11 3:55pm
Each week Brian Carney takes a look at six moments in Super League that have made the headlines - and not always for the right reasons!
Players, coaches and decisions all come under Brian's scrutiny as he picks his 'Set of Six'.
Find out who and what caught Brian's eye this week - and then use the feedback form below to have your say...
Following Wigan's victory in the Challenge Cup against Leeds it was back to Super League duties for both of the finalists. Leeds bounced back in some style against Wakefield and ran up a huge score. They did a lot of things that pleased their coach and immediately got that defeat to Wigan at Wembley out of their system and are back on track. I think it is easier when you lose to focus on the next week - you have a lot of drive and desire to get back to winning ways as quick as you can
Taking nothing away from Leeds and their victory against Wakefield but that is exactly the type of game you want. You want to face one of the teams down at the bottom of the league who have had a poor season. Wigan got quite the opposite - they got Warrington Wolves at Warrington. From the first kick off Warrington made them pay, they defended as well as I have ever seen them defend and in the process scored enough points to take them through the 100 points in a season barrier.
Warrington are now in pole position to take the League leaders trophy. If they can go and beat Hull F.C in Hull next Friday then they will lift the trophy which will be a nice bit of silverware for the club. But they are going to a tough place to do it because Hull are playing well of late. They have played themselves into a bit of form and where impressive against Castleford in front of the Sky cameras on Friday night.
Ian Millward has been named as the new Castleford coach and it was always surprising that a man who had so much success at St Helens was overlooked for so many Super League coaching jobs. Castleford have decided he is the man for them and will be hoping that they get the Ian Millward from St Helens and not the Ian Millward from Wigan. I think everyone agrees that his time at Wigan was a bit of disaster, but the man has a pedigree and plenty of experience and while he has had a tough time off the field at Leigh he has certainly delivered on the field results.
There are still other coaching questions to be answered - we still do not know who will take over at Hull KR and we don't know who will fill John Kear's shoes at Wakefield. We are told that Hull KR are looking abroad and I guess everyone is trying to find the next Michael Maguire. Watch this space.
Round 27 has been renamed the State of Mind round to raise awareness of mental health issues in players, coaches, administrators and more importantly the wider rugby league community. After the tragic death of Terry Newton last year a group got together and decided to try and change the culture and make people more aware of the resources available. I hope rugby league fans and everyone in general get behind the campaign. There are people out there willing to help you if you have a problem. For more information go to http://www.stateofmindrugby.com
Widnes announced that they would play their home games on an artificial pitch and told us all about the pros playing on such a pitch. It is good they are being proactive but it begs the question were the players consulted? You would think that the players would be consulted over something so significant - they are the ones who have to play on this surface. This is not a problem with Widnes and I am not having a pop at them. For me it highlights a major problem in our game that the players do not have a significant voice in the game.

Vatican convenes AIDS experts amid condom flap
May 27, 2011 at 3:08 am in Grand Forks Herald
Organizers insist the meeting today and Saturday won't call into question traditional church teaching opposing artificial contraception. Yet Pope Benedict XVI's comments last year about condom use with prostitutes with HIV seem to have removed a certain Vatican taboo that had all but ruled out public discussion of whether condoms were even effective in reducing HIV transmission.

We wouldn't care about what Michelle Obama ate if she wasn't constantly lecturing us about what we should and should not be putting into our bodies with her taxpayer funded "Let's Move" campaign. Apparently, the First Lady decided to have a post-Thanksgiving feast of fancy Swordfish sliders and an edible chocolate sculpture.
First lady Michelle Obama enjoyed a lovely evening at Co Co. Sala on F Street on Monday night. A Yeas & Nays source tells us she dined with seven friends for dinner and, of course, dessert -- which featured an edible chocolate sculpture and house-made artisanal chocolates by Chef Santosh Tiptur. We're told Obama's favorite savory was Chef Tiptur's Moroccan Swordfish Sliders with chermoula marinade, fennel salad, aged pecorino and hazelnut coffee dressing.
If you're going to have a slider, make it beef.

Lafayette's youth didn't show on the tennis court Tuesday as the Commodores defeated Cleveland 4-3 on the road in the first round of the MHSAA Class 4A playoffs. LHS coach Debbie Swindoll praised her team's effort, labeling the win a great accomplishment.
The Commodores (7-5 overall) earned three of their four wins in doubles play. The most competitive of the three wins came at No. 2 boys doubles as the team of Nathan Hollis and Tanner Odom rallied to defeat Austin Joost and Daniel Woo 6-7, 7-5 (10-8).
The No. 2 girls doubles team of Brittany Mann and Abbey Pate dispatched Mary Parker Janoush and Shelby Swafford 6-2, 6-3. Lafayette's final doubles point came from the mixed duo of Garrett Reed and Abby Arrington defeated Parker Joost and Ashley Brandon Hordon 6-1, 6-4.
The Commodores' final victory came from Brett Bowen in boys singles with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Cole Thomas. In girls singles, Lafayette's Sadie Wilson lost 6-0, 6-0 to Frances Varner. At No. 1 boys doubles, Lafayette's Jacob Roberts and Hunter Knight lost 7-6 (7-4), 5-7 (11-13) to Nick Bosworth and Will Hardman.
At No. 1 girls doubles, Cleveland's Merrill Dean Rogers and Lorna Leigh Rogers defeated Cara Anne Sallis and Lindsey Lott 6-1, 6-1. (April 17, 2013, Page 9)

We are so sorry to disappoint you guys, but apparently the alleged Chris Brown sex tape does not, in fact, feature the "Forever" singer in action. First we lose most of Chris Brown's Twitter history, now his sexy highjinks. Why won't the universe let us have nice things?
MediaTakeOut is claiming that an unnamed seller was willing to part ways with Brown's tape, which allegedly co-stars Basketball Wives' Draya Michele, for $50,000. This wouldn't be the first time Chris Brown got caught up in a sex tape rumor; in 2009 we heard all about his reported escapades with Rihanna, in a video that never materialized. "The report is absolutely not true," Brown's rep tells TMZ about the new tape. Another source close to the singer pondered, "Doesn't it seem like a coincidence that every time Chris has a major performance or event on the horizon, some fake story like this breaks?" Well, having seen Chris Brown's nude photo, we wouldn't be surprised if he was the one shopping around the footage himself. He's doing it for the fans!

Florissant is an unincorporated town and a U.S. Post Office in Teller County, Colorado, United States. Florissant, Colorado, was named after Florissant, Missouri, the hometown of the founding family. Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is located immediately south of Florissant. The Florissant Post Office has the ZIP Code 80816.
Florissant is just east of the starting point of the Hayman fire, which as of 2006, is the largest fire in Colorado's history.
Florissant is served by the Florissant Fire Protection District. The District consist of 3 Fire Stations, 3 Engines, 2 Tenders, 3 Rescue Trucks, and a Mule 4wd off road vehicle. Florissant Fire
Florissant has several subdivisions, including Colorado Mountain Estates, Florissant Heights, Indian Creek, Wilson Lakes, and Valley Hi.
Florissant continues to grow to meet the needs of its diverse population. Examples of this include the addition of a new library offering multimedia opportunities, fast broadband, computer access; as well as, wireless access has brought residents closer to friends, relatives, and online education. As with most communities which are neither incorporated nor census-designated places, determination of a reasonable population count for Florissant is problematic as there is no objective standard determining exactly how much area around the business district should be included in the community.

Some 18 months after leading Broadcast Australia's $68.9 million acquisition of Hostworks, Paul Mullen has now been given the nod to run the acquired company as managing director.
Mullen's appointment, as reported by iTnews, comes at a challenging time for Hostworks, following the departure of two key executives and the loss of a key Broadcast Australia account.
Mullen took some time out of his first week at Hostworks to discuss his appointment with iTnews editor Brett Winterford.
iTnews: You've had a few days to look closely at the Hostworks business now. What are your first impressions?
Paul Mullen: It's a good business. I have always liked this business, which is why I led the purchase of it for Macquarie.
What did you like about it?
The main rationale was to follow Broadcast Australia's strategic customers into the online space.
Broadcast Australia was very competitive in the transmission side, but not in online. The acquisition provides [Broadcast Australia] another platform for connecting content owners to their customers.
How has Broadcast Australia fared in bringing existing customers into the Hostworks business?
Hostworks hasn't made any huge inroads. We have done some small pieces of work for SBS and the ABC [television networks]. We are looking closely at the ABC, who as you know are putting a lot more effort into driving online content.
ABC, as with any [Broadcast Australia] customer, take a very neutral position. You don't get the online business just because you have their transmission business. To win their online business we have to be very good, very smart, etc.
Have you spoken to Hostworks customers since you came on board as Managing Director?
No, certainly it is very much on my agenda. I am conscious this is a high-touch business.
Are you concerned that Hostworks has seen two of its core staff - its founder and sales manager, exit the company in the last few months?
Not at all. We've got a very competitive sales team that manage clients very well. Marty [Gauvin] did a great job of setting up this business, I plan to capitalise on that.
Who will you report to?
I essentially will report to Graham Barkley, the CEO at Broadcast Australia.
Is everybody at Broadcast Australia supportive of the Hostworks business?
We are all very supportive of Hostworks. We wouldn't have bought it if we weren't.

Policy think tank IMANI Ghana is backing local real estate developers in their efforts to pressure government to consider adopting local solutions to the country's housing problems.
The current housing deficit currently stands at 1.5 million housing units. The Ghana Real Estate Developers have been engaged in a war of words with government over a housing proposal they insist they submitted to the sector ministry, but claiming it was ignored.
Whilst Works and Housing Minister, E.T Mensah has denied the claims insisting GREDA failed to meet the financial requirements, Kofi Bentil Vice President of IMANI Ghana maintains local real estate firms have the capacity to deliver if only government will offer them the same support it gives to foreign firms.
Mr Bentil observed: "If government gives support including the guarantees, to our GREDA people, and I can say this on authority that when they give them the support they would be able to put up the houses.
"In other words I don't find any reason why we have to go outside this country to seek anything to build affordable housing."

News Release Article from
Harper government introduces the Digital Privacy Act, which will provide added protection for seniors against financial abuse
April 9, 2014 – Ottawa, Ontario – Employment and Social Development Canada
The Digital Privacy Act, introduced yesterday in Parliament, will help to protect seniors from fraud and financial abuse, announced the Honourable Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors).
The Government tabled a new bill in Parliament that will include measures to address rising concerns about financial abuse of seniors. The new legislation will allow banks and other organizations, to notify officials or a client's next of kin if they suspect that an elderly client is the victim of financial abuse.
Currently, financial institutions must obtain an elderly client's consent before disclosing information to prevent or investigate abuse, for example where a joint account holder may be financially abusing a senior. Under the new legislation, the financial institution will be allowed to make a report if there is reason to believe that fraud or financial abuse may be taking place. This will make it possible to notify authorities and help protect seniors from financial abuse.
Officials at Industry Canada, with the support of Employment and Social Development Canada, will work together with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to provide guidance to banks and other affected organizations about factors to be considered in using their discretion in this area and about related best practices.
The Government is actively addressing elder abuse through awareness campaigns, the New Horizons for Seniors Program, and the Protecting Canada's Seniors Act, which came into force in January 2013.
Quick Facts
- The Digital Privacy Act amends the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, which sets the rules private sector organizations must follow when collecting, using or disclosing personal information in the course of commercial activity.
- The Protecting Canada's Seniors Act helps ensure consistently tough penalties for those who take advantage of elderly Canadians.
- Some sources suggest that between 4 and 10 percent of older adults in Canada experience some form of abuse. It is also estimated that only one in five incidents of abuse is reported.
"Elder abuse is an appalling crime and our government is committed to protecting seniors from all forms of abuse. I fully support the proposed changes to strengthen Canada's private sector privacy law and provide added protection for seniors against financial abuse."- The Honourable Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors)

A True Gentleman
BY Mark Thompson
October 08 2008 12:00 AM ET
"Pardon me," the voice asked with a soft tap on my bare shoulder. "But would you care for some more mud?" It was my new friend John Burnside, and he was standing in a shallow ravine in the Arizona desert with about 50 other naked men. We were all covered with reddish wet earth and bits of chaparral in our hair. John was one of the bucket carriers whose job was to make sure there was enough mud for everyone.
Burnside was one of the organizers of the first Spiritual Gathering for Radical Faeries on Labor Day weekend in 1979. And it wasn't just a bucket of coarse ooze he was offering, but as much gay love and freedom from heterosexist inhibitions one could possibly tolerate in a summer day. That was John's supreme calling in life: to liberate gay men from doubt and self-hatred and thus hopefully inspire others to do the same. A perpetual smile, an impish wit, and curiosity about everything -- especially other people -- were the tools he employed (including dabs of mud) his entire life.
In the nearly 30 years I knew John, until his death at age 91 on September 14, 2008, I never once heard a mean word from him. Oh, he might scold a tad if you did something dumb, and he certainly enjoyed a lively debate. But John was authentically a gentle man; while he relished being a sissy, he was no one's fool and knew it.
Burnside was the "other half" in one of America's best-known gay couples. He met his life partner, Harry Hay (fiery founder of the nation's first sustained gay group, the Mattachine Society), in the early 1960s. It was love at first sight, an inspiring union that would last for the next 39 years, until Harry's passing in 2002.

Hello friends!
I've been reading ADV for quite some time, enjoying from almost every post I encounter. The wonderful stories and pictures that riders post always toke my imagination and dreams far from here.
I always wanted a bulky Varadero, but finally realized that what I really want is an Africa Twin, so two years ago I bought 2000 AT, and start riding both road and gravel.
Apparently, many people are riding the world but unfortunately they don't get to ride in Israel.
It is probably because many people hear mostly bad news coming from this region concerning politics and military. I assume that there are those that cannot point on Israel over the world map.
Therefore, I thought it might interest ADV members to read stories and have pictures from this tiny country.
Few words about myself: my name is Eldad Greenfield, 27 year old architecture student, live today in Tel Aviv with my GF, paying ALOT for my 2 bedroom rented apartment (prices in Tel Aviv just rise high no matter recession).
Since my friends and I ride almost every week, I will update this thread regularly, bring you the stories, reports and pictures from our riding in Israel. Maps and references will follow the text for your convenience.
This is a general view of Israel and its sorroundings:

The opening of the Bridgewater canal is taken as the beginning of the "canal era" which was to be an important contributor to the British industrial revolution. The canal was built to carry coal from mines near Worsley to Manchester and would be extended to the River Mersey in 1776, enabling access to the port of Liverpool. Canals required the deployment of considerable capital and engineering skills but offered their promoters huge reductions in the cost of transport. They were notably important for moving bulk goods (coal, mineral ores, but also, later, corns) at a time when good roads incurred tolls and other roads would not bear heavy loads. By the late 1700s the various separate canal companies had joined together to …

Decade of 1960s changed the face of the city
As I looked back through newspaper clips of the 1960s, the speed of change seemed remarkable.
CORPUS CHRISTI - On the larger stage, the 1960s was a decade of the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, student protests, the assassinations of President Kennedy, his brother Robert, Martin Luther King Jr., and urban riots that followed the King assassination. It was a time of violent upheavals, but it was also a time of great progress. Miniskirts were short and hopes were high. As I looked back through newspaper clips of the 1960s, the speed of change seemed remarkable.
In Corpus Christi, one symbol of change was the dismantling of the greasy old bascule bridge — the work was finished on June 3, 1961 — and the port entrance widened under the new Harbor Bridge. One of the first of the larger ships to use the wider entrance was the USNS Card, a small aircraft carrier. Three years later, the Card was sunk by a mine in Saigon harbor. As the Port observed its 40th anniversary in 1966, it completed a project that deepened the ship channel to 40 feet and extended it to the Viola Turning Basin.
Work started in 1961 on Interstate 37 in downtown Corpus Christi and by 1969, construction reached Live Oak County 48 miles away; it was completed in the 1970s. The second span of the Nueces Bay Causeway was finished in 1963. By December 1965, the first segment of the Crosstown Expressway, Morgan to Port, opened to traffic. Everything was in flux with construction of I-37, the Crosstown Expressway and the reconstruction of South Padre Island Drive.
As the city's transportation infrastructure was being improved, the end of an era came on June 20, 1962. The Missouri Pacific ran its last passenger coach out of Corpus Christi, ending passenger service for the city. For eight decades, Corpus Christi had passenger train service, beginning in 1880 when the Tex-Mex began operating to Laredo. In the heyday of railroads, Corpus Christi had three railroad depots with daily passenger train service to Laredo, Brownsville and San Antonio.
On Jan. 10, 1962, a freeze killed the palm trees on Shoreline. That summer, after the fifth case of polio struck in Corpus Christi, thousands took the Sabin oral polio vaccine on sugar cubes. Some 500,000 doses were administered in Nueces County.
In January 1963, a courtroom was packed when Mrs. Loraine Lambert Graning was sentenced to life in prison for murdering her husband. Testimony revealed that she and her 16-year-old son from a previous marriage killed her husband, Melvin B. Graning, supervisor of Western Electric, which built the NASA tracking station at Rodd Field. Graning, 61, had been struck in the head, then hauled in the trunk of a car to the Nueces River near Calallen. He was dazed but still alive when his head was held under water until he drowned.
In August, 1963, some 400 Corpus Christi residents, black and white, marched on City Hall to demand the city appoint a Civil Rights Commission. Later that year, the council created the commission and appointed former mayor Ben McDonald as chairman and Frances "Sissy" Farenthold as one of the members.
In May 1964, TV viewers in Corpus Christi finally got access to all the national network programming when Channel 3, KIII, went on the air, joining KRIS and KZTV.
In a decade of senseless violence, one of the worst crimes in the Corpus Christi area was committed on April 12, 1965, when three Corpus Christi fishermen were shot to death by two California runaways.
Paul Eric Krueger and John Phillip Angles were headed for Mexico. They stopped at Corpus Christi, rented a small boat and traveled up the Laguna Madre. They had an AR-15 rifle and M-1 carbine. Paul Krueger opened fire on three men fishing from a pier, shooting them as they fell into the laguna. The dead men were Noel Douglass Little, Van Dave Carson, and John David Fox. After they were caught, Angles, 16, was sent to the State School for Boys at Gatesville. He was released in 1968. Krueger was sentenced to life in prison. He was released after 12 years.
In 1965, employees at the Army Depot went on a heavy schedule, working 60-hour weeks, to keep up with repairing helicopters needed for the Vietnam War. An old Navy aircraft carrier was converted into a floating aircraft repair shop called USNS Corpus Christi Bay. It operated off the coast of Vietnam, but its home port was Corpus Christi and its personnel were trained at the Army Depot.
On Jan. 9, 1967, an inch of snow fell on Corpus Christi while some inland points recorded up to nine inches. The Kennedy Memorial Causeway to Padre Island became toll-free in 1967.
After Carla, the second major storm of the decade was Hurricane Beulah. Corpus Christi was on the edge of the storm, which produced record rains and flooding after it made landfall near Brownsville on Sept. 20, 1967. One unusual effect from Beulah was that commodes all over Corpus Christi backed up from increased pressure in the sewer system.
On April 8, 1968, Lady Bird Johnson, the first lady, dedicated the Padre Island National Seashore. Thousands attended the celebration.
For Corpus Christi in the 1960s, the city was doubled in size through annexation. It was also the greatest decade for highway construction. Harbor Bridge, opened in 1959, was the prelude to the construction of I-37, the second span of the Nueces Bay Causeway, raising the South Padre Island Drive to expressway standards, and building Crosstown Expressway. We are still living with those big projects of that earlier time, but we don't have the equivalent new ones to pass on to the future.
One of the hit songs of the 1960s, though it was not connected to Corpus Christi, was Jimi Hendrix's "Crosstown Traffic," with the lyrics, "I'm just trying to get to the other side of town." Another song from that era was "Let It Bleed" by the Rolling Stones and when you consider the assassinations, riots and Vietnam War, could a better title be found for the 1960s? It's a good thing the arrow of time moves in only one direction, so we won't have to go through the 1960s again.

Coppin State erased a piece of a bitter memory last night at Hill Fieldhouse.
A year ago, Morgan State ended the Eagles' season by handing them the biggest upset in the history of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament.
Coppin State erased a piece of a bitter memory last night at Hill Fieldhouse.
A year ago, Morgan State ended the Eagles' season by handing them the biggest upset in the history of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament.
The Eagles, who expect to spend three days at Morgan State this week in the MEAC tournament, closed out their regular season by getting comfortable in the Bears' gym with a 90-63 victory before 4,018.
Coppin State (18-8, 15-1) won its 15th straight game to keep up the second-longest winning streak in the country. And they did it with the same dominant edge that has characterized their march through the MEAC over the past month.
The Eagles, who have won their past seven games by an average of 19 points, have gone 47-1 against the MEAC in the past three regular seasons.
"It felt kind of funny at first, being in the gym. It brought back some memories," said senior guard Sidney Goodman, who scored 13 points but had his foul-shooting streak end at 27. "That loss really hurt us last year. We don't take anything lightly now. We're at a peak now, where we're playing well as a team and we're going into the tournament with a positive attitude."
Like last year, Coppin State will enter the MEAC tournament as the top seed. Unlike last year, the Eagles will not face Morgan State in the quarterfinals. The Bears (5-21, 5-11), the seventh-place team in the conference, will play second-seeded South Carolina State in the first round.
The Eagles will open the quarterfinals against the winner of Wednesday night's Delaware State-Florida A&M play-in game. The only way Coppin State will see Morgan State again this year is if both teams meet in the tournament title game on Saturday.
Judging by last night's showing, that scenario is improbable. The Eagles, who trounced Morgan State by 25 points four weeks ago, put the Bears away early in the second half with their typically sticky defense and outstanding balance on offense.
Five players scored in double figures for the Eagles, who were led by senior center Michael Thomas. He scored 16 points on 7-for-8 shooting, including four dunks. While Thomas and senior forwards Stephen Stewart (10 points) and Tariq Saunders (14 points) were controlling the inside, Goodman and senior guard Keith Carmichael hurt Morgan outside.
Carmichael scored 15 points, making three three-pointers.
The Eagles, who shot 53.4 percent from the field and made PTC seven of 16 three-point attempts, also hurt Morgan State with rebounding. Although no one had more than five rebounds for them, the Eagles out-rebounded the Bears by 36-24.
"We looked at this like the beginning of the tournament," Coppin State coach Fang Mitchell said. "I was pleased with how we performed as a team, the way we looked for one another and looked for the extra man. I feel like I did last year, as far as confidence is concerned. I don't think I have to do a lot of talking."
The only time Mitchell talked louder than usual last night was midway through the first half, when he called a timeout after Coppin State let an 11-6 lead slip away and found itself with an 18-13 deficit.
The Eagles responded to Mitchell's tongue-lashing by scoring 13 unanswered points -- including seven by reserve guard Kyle Locke -- to take a 26-18 lead with 7:35 left in the half. The Eagles led 36-28 at the break.
The Eagles then gradually blew the game open. Sparked by Stewart-- fresh off his second straight MEAC Player of the Year award -- Coppin opened up a 53-40 lead with 12 minutes left. The Bears scored seven straight points to cut the lead to 53-47, as guard Damian Zellous (12 points) made four free throws to highlight the run.
But the Eagles answered with a 17-3 burst over the next four minutes to squelch any thoughts of another Morgan State upset. During the run, Carmichael hit two three-pointers and scored eight points, and Thomas punctuated the stretch with two slams. His final dunk gave the Eagles a 70-50 lead with six minutes left.

How Alternative Break Leadership Experiences Work?
- Students may apply for both a fall and spring/summer trip as noted in the application and, if selected, may attend a fall semester and spring semester trip. Decisions for fall trips and spring/summer trips are made separately and interest in one does not determine eligibility or ineligibility for the other.
- All travel expenses, food, and lodging will be covered by the cost of the trip. For a spring/summer trip, the trip cost will be assessed as a lab fee connected to the 1-credit LDR course. For the Fall Urban Experience, the trip cost will be collected through the Office of Service Leadership and will not be connected to a lab fee or tuition in any way.
- In the spring, students will enroll in the New Orleans, San Francisco, Atlanta, Seattle or Haiti LDR leadership course, which is a 1-credit elective course required for all participants. These classes will meet either weekly or bi-weekly and serve as an opportunity for the team to prepare for the experiences that will be had while on the trip. Students will have the opportunity to bond as a team, gain knowledge about the social issues and location that will be encountered on the trip, and prepare to serve those community needs well.
How to Apply?
- If you'd like to express interest in receiving updates about Information Sessions, reminders for application deadlines, and any additional updates, please fill out an interest form.
- Alternative Break Leadership Experience Participant Applications are available August 24th-and are due by 5pm on Monday, September 29th, and must be completed online.

In this image released by the Egyptian Presidency, President Mohammad Mursi, center, meets with his cabinet including 10 new ministers after their swearing in at the presidential palace in Cairo, Egypt, Sunday Jan. 6, 2013. (AP Photo/Egyptian Presidency)
CAIRO: A limited cabinet reshuffle will see six ministers replaced in Egypt, state newspaper al-Ahram said on Thursday, citing government sources.
The new ministers, who could swear oath on Tuesday, are expected to be those of justice, legal and prosecution affairs, culture, agriculture, planning and international cooperation, and one of the economic portfolio ministries, al-Ahram said, without naming the candidates.
The reshuffle is seen as an attempt by President Mohamed Mursi, who hailed from the Muslim Brotherhood group, to ease tensions with opponents that flared in November after a controversial presidential decree expanded his powers.
Political stability would help Egypt secure a much-needed $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after the country failed this month to conclude a deal.
Prime Minister Hisham Kandil, widely criticised as colourless and ineffectual, will keep his job in the limited reshuffle, a presidential spokesman said last week.
Al-Ahram said on Thursday that a movement of governors also expected will see senior-ranking members of the Brotherhood heading 5 governorates, including Alexandria and Giza.

Stacey Smith is an Oakland school district parent and volunteer who has served on the District GATE Advisory Committee, the school board's Special Committee on School Based Management, and the Community Advisory Committee for Special Education. What she writes about does not reflect the view of any group.
When I walked into the room I was struck by the sunlight pouring in across a classroom of tiny tables and chairs.
The woman next to me was immediately struck by a small body hurdling itself at her knees for a hug.
Christie Anderson, director of the Burbank Preschool Center, paused mid-sentence to disentangle and chat with the child (and a few others) before we continued our tour.
Moving from classroom to classroom I felt like this could be any preschool in Oakland. Parents were dropping off little ones. Teachers and aides were giving multi-lingual direction to students (Burbank families speak over 15 languages). The reading nook, the imagination corner, and the riot of colors and activities tempted me to just get right onto the floor and start playing. The children were totally engaged.
I did notice in one room a child was using an electronic board with pictures that the child would touch to communicate instead of using words. In another room a wheelchair was pushed up to the snack table with the other chairs. And in one classroom there was a nurse, always, because the students have such severe health impairments that there must be medical support available at all times.
This is what special education preschool looks like. Continue Reading

Firebrick color question
Hi all,
I am right now trying to source frirebrick. I have received two quotes so far one is .90 and the other is $1.40 (per brick obviously). The .90 cent is for red firebrick form a place that didn't really know what I was talking about but then I talked to the owner who said he had a couple of pallets kicking around. The $1.40 quote place knew exactly what I was talking about when I called up. Right now I feel comfortable with the $1.40 place because they knew what I was talking about and the price seems reasonable based upon what I have seen on this site. However, it is over 50% more than the other place though they do have 50lb bags of heatstop for $24 which seemed good to me.
So how do I know the .90 cent firebricks are the real thing and is red ok? I thought they were usually yellow.
Re: Firebrick color question
For about $80 total, I would go for the one you know is a firebrick.
Unless you can find a manufacturers name stamped on the others and trace em down.
Re: Firebrick color question
It all depends on what area you are in. I've seen yellow, orange, ivory, and red firebricks. The brick should be somewhere around 4x9 inches and weigh around 8 lbs or so. I personally would go with the 90 cent bricks if they checked out ok.
Re: Firebrick color question
Tell the second guy that he is $80 higher, buy some heat stop from him and get him to throw in delivery...That would be worth the extra $$...
But RLF is right, if they are about 4x9 and weigh 8 lbs or so, they are fine...
Re: Firebrick color question
I had a choice of red or yellow firebricks, and bought red. The guy at the store said he hardly ever sells the red ones. Not real sure why.
Re: Firebrick color question
regardless of which brick you choose, jump all over the $24 Heatstop. That is an unbelievable price. I thought I got a deal at $55.
I had a similar situation with the firebricks - the knowledgable folks wanted from $1.65 to over $4.00 per brick (that had catelogues, specs, etc). I ended of buying buff colored fireplace firebricks from a brickyard/masonry supplier (no brochures, no specs, they simply called them fireplace bricks) for 77 cents each.....they heat up quick, hold the heat, and so far have been just fine.
Re: Firebrick color question
I ended up with the $1.40 brick. The .90 cent bricks ended up being regular clay bricks, the yard man insisted they were fire bricks but they weren;t. So now I am the proud owner of 120 buff colored fire bricks. I also purchased a 50lb bag of Heatstop 50 for $24. How many bags of this stuff will I need for a 36" oven? I have to go get more bricks anyway so sort of in a buy it as I need it mode. Now I just have to wait for my saw from HF.
Re: Firebrick color question
If you cut all your bricks, you will use far less HeatStop (but quite a few more bricks). In my area, HeatStop is $80/bag so I decided to cut the bricks to fit.
Re: Firebrick color question
I used 1 1/2 bags - cut to fit method with about 1/2" - 5/8" cladding layer over the whole dome
Re: Firebrick color question
Wow, not that much heatstop then, thanks.
I will be attempting the cut to fit method as much as I can. Should be fun once I get started.

Charles Philippe Dray, waving a flag, and Raymond Auffray, both members of the Moncton Local for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), collect signatures from local residents in support of maintaining postal services in the region during a noon-hour demonstration in front of the Sackville post office last week. TOWER PHOTO
SACKVILLE, N.B. ŌĆō Postal workers from the area brought their concerns to the public last week about potential reductions to service and staff.
Members of the Moncton Local for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), which includes employees from the Tantramar region, staged a noon-hour demonstration last Wednesday afternoon in front of the Sackville post office, asking residents to sign a petition and informing them about the possibility of upcoming cuts to local postal service.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre just trying to maintain what we have here,ŌĆØ said Line Doucet, president of the local union.
Doucet said a call came from the national union about two months ago, saying that Canada Post has plans to open a retail outlet soon in Sackville. In other locales, she said, the introduction of retail outlets have resulted in reduced staff hours, products and services within the community post offices. Basically, she said, the offices are downsized, turning into ŌĆ£hole-in-the-walls.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Here it would be devastating,ŌĆØ she said, noting the Sackville post office currently employs five staff (three full-time and two part-time), down from nine employees five years ago.
Seniors and students, in particular, rely heavily on the post office services here in Sackville. Many seniors donŌĆÖt have computers or donŌĆÖt trust online banking and would be hard hit by Canada Post changes, said Doucet. And students depend on the passport and student loan services offered at the local post office.
CUPW has been staging information pickets at various locations across the country for several months now, as Canada Post begins phasing out door-to-door delivery and increasing pricing in an effort to cut costs.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a public service. It belongs to the people of Canada,ŌĆØ said Doucet. ŌĆ£And they deserve to have a voice in all of this.ŌĆØ
Doucet said the union wants to work with Canada Post to help find new ways of serving customers, expanding the business and generating more income. She admitted there has been a significant decrease in letter mail per household but parcel delivery and third-class mail has seen an increase.
ŌĆ£We know thereŌĆÖs a problem . . . but there are other options they could look at,ŌĆØ she said.
She points to postal banking as one possibility, saying it would not only help keep rural post offices open but also offer much-needed financial services in certain areas.
Doucet urged local residents to call local MP Dominic LeBlanc with their concerns over postal service reductions, saying ŌĆ£he is behind us and he will bring those concerns to the House of Commons.ŌĆØ

Are the new American Idol judges back next season?
by stevenew
posted Jun 30 2011 3:15PM
Did you love Steven Tyler as a Simon replacement on American Idol? Producers of the show did, so he's agreed to come back next season along with the big dawg himself, Randy Jackson. And why would Ryan Seacrest, give up that gig so he's back. So that just leaves Jennifer Lopez as the sole holdout. So what's her deal? Well, the others return was pretty much a given—Jenn has been publicly coy about her possible return to the show."I don't know," she said "I haven't been forced to make a decision and I'm glad about that because honestly I'm very kind of on the fence about it."I had an amazing time doing it and I loved it, but I have a lot of other things happening, and it's going to come down to me making a choice of what I want to do for the next year and I'm just really enjoying the time of just waiting and seeing." Sounds like to me someone was taking notes when they were taught how to get the most out of negotiations in superstar school. By the way she made 12 mill on her inaugural season. Speaking of Talent shows "The Simon and Paula Show" – otherwise know as X-Factor Debuts Sept. 21 on Fox

Ryman Healthcare, the retirement village operator whose shares jumped 51% this year, posted a 15% gain in first-half profit and bumped up its dividend as fee income grew.
Profit rose to $68.8 million, or 13.8 cents a share, in the six months ended September 30, from $59.6 million, or 11.9 cents a year earlier, the Christchurch-based company says in a statement.
Revenue rose 19% to $87.9 million.
Ryman's total retirement village units and care beds increased to 5882 in the first half, from 5107 a year earlier, and it has another 2295 units equivalent to be developed.
In the latest period it completed its Diana Isaac Retirement Village in Christchurch and gained approvals to build its first village in Melbourne.
"We are trading well and we're on track to achieve our target 15% underlying profit growth for the full year," chairman David Kerr says.
"We've invested heavily in new aged care and retirement communities over the past 18 months and we are seeing some reward for that commitment."
Ryman will pay a first-half dividend of 4.6 cents a share, up 18% from a year earlier. The shares last traded at $4.08 and reached a record $4.16 in September.
They are rated "outperform" based on a Reuters survey of seven analysts, with a price target of $4.09.
In the first half, care fees rose 19% to $71.8 million and management fees climbed 19% to $15.7 million. Operating expenses were up 17.6% to $64 million.

Having loads of problems situating these vertical slats.
I attach a pic to illustrate my problem.
In the picture below the vertical slat to the right is too far forward and protruding from the frame.
So I moved it backwards ONLY SLIGHTLY and it has disappeared.
You can see the parameters in the picture and there is no way it is running behind the transparent box.
So please can anyone shed any light on positioning the slat.
I AM grouping the slat with the window pane and the window frame. placed on another negative box grouped with a positive wall.
I've fiddled and faddled with this for four hours now and there is an increasing pile of hair falling onto my desk!
I did not have much to start with!
Please help.

Pet Care: Fever a threat to catsDear Dr. Fox: We recently learned of something called bobcat tick fever (Cytauxzoonosis). Numerous cats have been lost to it. Our neighbors just lost one of their four cats. We understand that most cats do not survive and that not much can be done to prevent it. Our neighbors are using a powder form of Sevin insecticide on their surviving cats. Is it safe and effective?

Utility Failures
To report a utility failure, call the Facilities Management Service Response Center at 412-268-2910 and provide the following information: your name, phone number where you can be reached, building, room, or area affected, and the nature of the incident. In the event of an extended utility failure, instructions and information will be provided through the AlertNow emergency notification system and the CMU front page.
Electrical failure
- In buildings equipped with emergency generators, the emergency generator will provide lighting for egress and limited electricity to crucial equipment.
- Do not light candles to provide light, as these present fire hazards and may add to the problem.
- Should it be necessary to evacuate the building, do so immediately. Do not re-enter until the power has been restored.
- Remember, elevators will not function during a power failure, so you must use the stairs to evacuate. If you are trapped in an elevator, use the emergency phone to notify University Police. If there is no phone in the elevator, trigger the elevator's emergency alarm button.
Steam leak
- Evacuate the area and close the door behind you. Steam can cause severe burns and displace oxygen, and the moisture from steam can conduct electricity.
- A steam leak may also cause the building's fire alarm to sound. If the alarm sounds, exit the building immediately. PPG-6 employees should follow their building's protocols for evacuation.
Water leak
- Try to catch the leakage in a container to minimize damage or safety hazards.
- Avoid areas where water has accumulated. Water makes an excellent conductor of electricity, making electric shock a possibility, so don't try to unplug computers or other electrical appliances.
Natural gas leak
- Contact Facilities Management Service Response Center at 268-2910
- Do not turn any electrical equipment on or off, to avoid causing a spark that could ignite the gas.
- If inside, open the windows and evacuate the area.
- If outside, keep onlookers away from the area and make sure nobody is smoking.
