Times Argus building to be soldStaff Report | March 21,2013BARRE Less than a year after it was placed on the market, the building housing the Times Argus offices at 540 N. Main St. is under contract to be sold.
President and Publisher R. John Mitchell said Wednesday the building, which was listed at $895,000, is the subject of a signed purchase and sale agreement with Metro, a Barre-based real estate company owned by Thomas and Karen Lauzon.
Neither party would disclose the sale price. The sale remains contingent on an inspection of the building, Mitchell said.
The pending building sale now provides Mitchell with the opportunity to finally move the daily newspapers operations back to the center of downtown. Mitchell and his staff have been looking at several properties as a possible rental.
Currently, the Times Argus building supports the newsroom, subscriber services and advertising departments, and serves as the distribution center each night for the papers independent contracted motor carriers.
The facility has not had an operational press since May 2011, when fast-rising floodwaters caused significant damage to the printing and mailroom divisions of the operation.
The Times Argus and its sister paper, the Rutland Herald, are now printed at Upper Valley Press in North Haverhill, N.H.
As Barre has seen a resurgence in its downtown in the last few years, Mitchell has been eager to return the papers operations to the heart of the city, hopefully by this summer. The Times Argus had been located along Main Street until 1973, when it moved operations to the location on North Main Street.
The sale of the 23,000-square-foot building will have no effect on the newspapers staff or operations.
In an interview Wednesday, Thomas Lauzon said he had no specific plans for the space but is entertaining several ideas that have yet to come to fruition.
(That) property is a perfect complement to the existing Metro portfolio. Over the years, weve had a great deal of success with mixed-use commercial/industrial properties, he said. I watched with great interest when this property went on the market last year and am surprised no one made a serious play for acquisition until now. The available parking and yard area, which is at a premium throughout central Vermont, couldnt be better.
Lauzon, the citys mayor, owns several key buildings in downtown, including the Aldrich Block. Citywide, he and his wife own more than 500,000 square feet of commercial real estate in Barre.
Lauzon said he has already shown the conceptual design for the Times Argus building to a number of potential tenants. I have no doubt that well execute the planned changes well and fill the space, he said. ... It will make a great summer project and keep a few contractors busy.
Lauzon said negotiating the purchase with Mitchell was a pleasure.
You know, in all the years Ive done this, no seller has ever reached out their hand, shook mine and said, We have a deal. Its a testament to the way John does business. Its pretty obvious that Johns word means more than a legal document.
Lauzon said that over the next few months, Metro will perform a structural analysis and environmental assessment, incorporate design changes and plan for a major renovation of the building configuration and systems.
We cant wait to get started, he said.
In the meantime, as Mitchell and his staff search for a new office, Times Argus customers should continue to use the 540 N.

text: There are two main configurations of guitar amplifiers: combination ("combo") amplifiers, which include an amplifier and anywhere from one to four speakers in a single cabinet; and the stand-alone amplifier (often called a "head" or "amp head"), which does not include a speaker, but rather passes the signal to a separate speaker cab. While guitar amplifiers from the beginning were used to amplify acoustic guitar, electronic amplification of the guitar was first widely popularized by the 1930s and 1940s craze for Hawaiian music, which extensively employed the amplified lap steel Hawaiian guitar. Tone controls on early guitar amplifiers were very simple and provided a great deal of treble boost, but the limited controls, the loudspeakers used, and the low power of the amplifiers (typically 15 watts or less) gave poor high treble and bass output.

Apple has announced that it will be holding its next media event on October 22nd, which is in line with expectations. The event will take place at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern Time at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California.
The event will likely showcase new versions of the iPad, including a redesigned full-sized model that looks like a larger iPad mini and a new iPad mini that boasts a Retina display.
Also in Apple's pipeline are new iWork suites, a new version of the Apple TV, new MacBook Pros with faster chipsets, OS X Mavericks, and the new Mac Pro. It's unclear which of the aforementioned products will actually get stage time this time around, but the new Mac Pro, MacBook Pros, and OS X Mavericks are the most likely to appear in addition to the tablets…
As we previously reported, OS X Mavericks will be available in late October, making the timing for final details, such as pricing, perfect for the media event. The new Mac Pro was introduced earlier this year, and Apple has previously said it will ship this fall. Recent reports indicate that Apple is already preparing to put the new computer into production.
Apple typically releases its new iOS Devices around a week following their unveilings. So, it would make sense for the new iPads to arrive in stores around November 1st. However, there has been talk about delays (or constraints) for the iPad mini with Retina display. Though it would not be unprecedented for Apple to hold the launch (even with low supplies) as soon as November 1st.
We'll have full coverage of the latest news leading up to the event, during the event, and after the event.

36 Responses to "Apple announces October 22nd iPad event: 'We still have a lot to cover'"
I'm looking at the image Apple sent out. I don't see a hidden or double meaning in it, like they usually hint in previous ones. Am I missing something?
"…a lot to cover" new smart covers? but that's a stretch. I just seems like the message is "this is an event", "we will release new things", "it is fall"
the iOS 7 color palette means iOS 7 devices, but we've seen that coming
Cover…. Apparently a smart cover that charges your iPad ;)
Can't you see the iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 hidden in the image?!
[No me neither!]
I think it could signal a bigger iPad. And bigger smart covers. You know. That's a lot of screen space to cover.
Something to cover? New smart covers are on the way!!!!!!!!
I wonder if Tim Cook will ever introduce something that Steve Jobs didn't think of. All we are seeing from this CEO is updates. Where is the next game changing product?
The design was supposed to look like autumn leaves falling onto the ground. Nothing cryptic or hidden. just plain and simple Fall inspired. and yes, this will cover alot of stuff.
I love that the leaves are the same shape as the Apple logo's leaf. It's funny seeing that shape separated from the logo as its own element.
Check out the invites from last year's event. Deja vu anyone?
Yes, agreed. However, I focus on the differences. Last year was "…a little more…" and now it's "…a lot to cover." Which is important to note, as I think we'll see a longer than normal event and it confirms for me that we won't have another event this calendar year.
The 22nd can't get here fast enough!
And the iWatch maybe? Or has everyone now decided that's never going to happen.
It'll happen, but remember Apple is about getting it right not first.
it is curious that there are as many colors as on the 5c invitation. As far as i know there aren't colorful iPads until now. Maybe a colorful iPad would attack the Surface collors.
My money is on:
iPad: Retina iPads w/ Touch ID and A7X/M7X processors…the mini will go retina but sans Touch ID, will be offered in multiple colors, and will have an A6X'ish processor…we will be saying goodbye to the iPad 2…
Mac: Haswell MacBook Pro's…final release of the Mac Pro…updated Cinema Display…release of Mavericks
Other: Apple TV set-top box Refresh OR….
Wildcard: a full-on Apple TV which can be controlled by remote, iOS devices, and (drumroll please)….the iWatch (compatible with all devices running iOS 7)
I don't think that the iPads will have a M7 chip in them at all – let alone a M7X chip. Based on articles on this site the M7 chip is really for fitness apps, so they don't have to be left open to work and don't drain your battery. I'm sorry but I don't see people jogging with an iPad. As for Touch ID, it doesn't make sense for Apple to fragment their iOS lineup – let alone their iPad lineup.
Hidden meaning? A lot to 'cover'. There's a lot of apple 'leaves' in the poster. Covers + leaves = books? Something book related would be my hidden guess!
With the tagline "We still have a lot to cover." It makes me wonder based on Apple's love of pun filled hints at what will be announced, if we'll see a new Smart Cover that has a Keyboard built in. The Surface has one and this tech: http://bit.ly/17B0MmZ has been featured by 9to5mac in the past.
I can hardly contain my excitement.
All I wanna know is When Mavericks is coming out, because if it's late October then that would Put it sometime AFTER the 22 BUT…before the First of Nov.
Same old, Same old… with new paint
apple events used to be something to look forward too but it's just B O R I N G now, especially with Timmy as a speaker…
I am not a long term Apple Fan Boy but a fan since the 1st iPod Nano but I do have Theory.
I wonder if the leaves toward the bottom that are touching each other represent already released/marketed apple products going back to apple 1, Apple2, Apple 2 E, Lisa, Mac, Newton, iPod, Etc. **Apple Fan Boys & Girls** Step Up and Take a look at the number of leaves in comparison to the number of products Apple has released over time. I am not saying individual products like a Pink iPod Nano. I am talking the product categories like iPod, Macintosh, iMac, iPhone, iPod, iPod Nano, Siri, iPad, iPad Mini, Apple TV (you get the idea). Someone who knows more about apple products please look at this.
I think the ones not on the pile floating down represent the 5 things they will be discussing on 10/22/13.
iPad 5
iPad mini 2
OS X Mavericks
Haswell Macbook Pros
Mac Pro
I have 3 ideas about the 1/2 leaves. My guess is the 2 half leaves (red on right top and greenish yellow on left) that are kinda cut off either 2 products in development (1 on left that greenish represents a product nearly ready for launch, like in the late winter/spring and the other that is 1/2 size and Red might suggest something coming next year in May/June..maybe iOS 8 or iPhone 6?) or they represent the 2 most recent product offerings, the new iPhones and iOS 7 Or the 2 half ones on right and left floating down could mean 2 products not deemed Major but Important but 1 is more important than the other….ie New Smart Cover with Keyboard (the green one on the left) the other Haswell Mac Mini's. (red one on the right).
Just my 2 cents but I'd love to hear your replies to my thoughts on this.
Time will tell if am right…..and maybe someone can count those leaves vs Apple Products for me & reply.
got my barclay card with 0 interest for a year revved up and ready!!!!!
Isn't it OS X YOSEMITE? Mavericks has been around for the better part of a year already.

Grip meets strength.
When Crank Brothers originally released the 5050 pedal, it became an instant hit. With the large pedal body and dual concave shape, everyone from dirt jumpers, to downhillers, to cross country riders raved about the comfort and grip. But never content to rest on its laurels, Crank Brothers has updated its classic platform, and the result is the 5050 3 pedal.
Long time 5050 fans will immediately notice the new two piece body. The outer-shoulder is built from aluminum alloy in order to enhance the pedal's resistance to impact. The inner-portion of the body is built from lightweight and durable polycarbonate. The spindle uses a similar profile to Crank Brother's clipless pedals, only it employs a new chromoly steel alloy that's claimed to be 50% stronger than previous versions. The 3, however, sits atop the heap of Crank Brothers pedals, so it runs on a blend of high-load needle bearings and cartridge bearings, unlike the bushing-based 5050 2. The pins are height adjustable, so you're able to fine tune your grip. And at around 432 grams per set, they're not only durable, but lightweight in the realm of platform pedals.
The Crank Brothers 5050 3 Pedals are available in one size and in the color Red/black.
- Two-piece body
- Chromoly steel alloy spindle
- High-load needle bearings and cartridge bearings
- Pins are height adjustable

When it comes to giving back, the approach is simple for the folks at SOL Mount Pleasant; it's do their part. SOL offers several opportunities to support local organizations, just by eating, drinking and having fun. Each month the owners select a different charity.
Customers simply join them for lunch, dinner or lounging and enjoy that month's signature menu items. It's called Kitchen Karma and $1 from each featured cocktail and signature dish will go to that local charity. "It's contributions from our kitchen to benefit your community cause," explained David Clark, owner.
The concept of the restaurant, developed by local restaurateurs David Clark, Andy Palmer and Joe Sciortino, is to serve as a neighborhood restaurant for everything from family meals to business lunches, date nights and happy hours.
Clark said all three owners live in Mount Pleasant.
"We are part of the community and right from the get-go we wanted our philosophy to be about more than just using local vendors, suppliers and food. We wanted to be part of the local community and one way to do that was to create Kitchen Karma," he said. "We wanted to show people that this is what we are about."
"In addition," he added, "this was a way to get the customer involved, too."
"It was more than just writing a check to our favorite charity," he said.
"Kitchen Karma highlights a menu item and a drink from our fresh margarita list. And we donate a dollar for each menu item sold."
November and December's featured charity was the Charleston Animal Society. From mid-November through December, they raised over $1,700 for the Charleston Animal Society.
Louie's Kids is the beneficiary of Kitchen Karma through the end of February.
"Kitchen Karma brings awareness to a local charity or group where money stays local," said Clark. "Some of our customers may never have heard of the group, so we're bringing awareness and showing customers why we're supporting a particular group's efforts. It's a win-win for everyone."
Locally owned and operated, SOL blends the bold flavors of the Southwest with our own Southern culinary influences.
That means a true "from scratch" kitchen and wood fire grill, so you really taste the fire. All dishes start from scratch and are prepared to order.
Other giving opportunities at SOL include SOL Spirit Nights. If you represent a local nonprofit or school, an SOL Spirit Night is just for you. They'll set a date to host your group at the restaurant and then donate 10 percent of your purchases to your organization.
SOL is now open Monday – Sunday at 11 a.m. They are located at 1101 Stockade Lane, Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Call 843-388-4302 or visit SOLMtPleasant.com for more information.

COLUMBIA Injured South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore is finished with college football. How long it takes the Gamecocks junior to make his NFL debut is anyones guess.
Lattimore announced Wednesday he was giving up his final season to enter the NFL Draft. He was considered a cant-miss, first-round talent after his first two seasons. However, a horrifying right knee injury in October has dropped his draft stock and it is unclear when Lattimore might return to action.
Lattimore dislocated his knee and damaged three of four ligaments when he was tackled against Tennessee. Doctors say surgery on his knee was successful and Lattimore easily walked into his first gathering with media since the injury.
He came into this season off ligament surgery to his left knee, an injury that cost him the final six games of 2011.
Despite his injuries, Lattimore said, I wouldnt change a thing.
He and Dr. Jeffrey Guy said it would take 12-to-15 months to recover, meaning it is unlikely Lattimore would play anywhere during the 2013 season. Guy, among the team that operated on Lattimore, said Lattimores prognosis for full recovery was good.
Lattimore finished his career as the Gamecocks all-time leader with 41 overall touchdowns and 38 rushing scores in 29 games.
Still, even draft experts are puzzled about Lattimores prospects next April.
I just put wild card next to his name, ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said on a media conference call Tuesday.
Lattimore had told Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier before a student rally of support in October that the player hoped to return to the field for the Gamecocks. About a month ago, Lattimore talked with his family and decided entering the NFL Draft was the choice.
I 100 percent agree that Marcus should turn pro, Spurriersaid. At some point, when you can really play this game the way Marcus can, you need to be financially rewarded.
Lattimore said he received encouraging support from two NFL stars who successfully came back from knee surgery running backs Frank Gore and Willis McGahee. Lattimore remained composed as he thanked Spurrier, teammates and university officials.
This has easily been the best three years of my life, he said.
Lattimore rushed for 662 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, both team highs.
He had been South Carolinas primary offensive force the past three seasons, starting from the time he stepped on campus as a freshman in 2010. He gained 1,197 yards and 17 touchdowns to help the Gamecocks to a Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title that fall.
Lattimore was on his way to eclipsing those marks when he was hurt in an October game at Mississippi State. Following surgery, Lattimore plunged himself into rehab and returned in time for summer workouts with his teammates.
He showed few effects from that injury this season. Lattimore had three games with at least 100 yards rushing and appeared headed for a fourth against the Vols when he was hurt again.
His left leg flopped to the turf and Lattimore struggled to contain his emotions in a silent Williams-Brice Stadium. Players from both teams surrounded him as doctors and trainers worked on the knee, praying and offering best wishes.
Two days later, South Carolina held a rally on campus to celebrate Lattimores 21st birthday and wish him well in his recovery. Lattimore did not attend, but Spurrier told the crowd he gotten a message from the running back to tell them, Ill be back.
On Nov. 10 against Arkansas, the school unveiled Lattimores name and touchdown record on the facing of one of the stadiums spiral ramps. Lattimore had a taped message to fans on the stadiums large video board, saying he felt fine and was working to get back to football.
Lattimore ends his college career as South Carolinas sixth-leading rushed with 2,677 yards and had 11 games with 100 yards or more. He also finishes with 74 catches for 767 yards and three touchdown catches.

Anyone who has followed my work closely enough knows that I have an extensive web page devoted to development (one of very few online), have written a book on the topic (since it is my favorite theological subject and was the key reason for my conversion to Catholicism). They may also be aware of my strong admiration for Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman (who is very well-known for his explication of development of doctrine), and my authorship of an upcoming collection of his quotations. Thus, no one think that I would deny that purgatory developed, just as all other doctrines did.
Let's look, for example, at what I wrote in my reply to James White, in my paper, Refutation of James White on 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 and Purgatory (3 March 2007):
Now, of course we won't find a fully-developed medieval conception of purgatory [in 1 Cor 3], but it is foolish to expect that anyway, just as it would be to expect to find full Chalcedonian Christology and trinitarianism in all its glorious nuanced complexity. That is true of all doctrines, so why should purgatory be an exception?
In my article, Development of Doctrine: A Corruption of Biblical Teaching? (published in The Catholic Answer, Sep / Oct 1995 and uploaded to my website on 5 July 2001), I stated:
The bulk of Newman's extraordinary work is devoted to the exposition of a series of analogies, showing conclusively that the Protestant static conception of the Church (both historically and theologically) is incoherent and false. He argues, for example, that notions of suffering, or "vague forms of the doctrine of Purgatory," were universally accepted, by and large, in the first four centuries of the Church, whereas, the same cannot be said for the doctrine of Original Sin, which is agreed upon by Protestants and Catholics.
Protestants falsely argue that Purgatory is a later corruption, but it was present early on and merely developed. Original Sin, however, was equally if not more so, subject to development. One cannot have it both ways. If Purgatory is unacceptable on grounds of its having undergone development, then Original Sin must be rejected with it. Contrariwise, if Original Sin is accepted notwithstanding its own development, then so must Purgatory be accepted.
Likewise, I stated in my paper, Reflections on Medieval Ecclesiology ("Fallibilist Conciliarism"?) (10 January 2004):
I would say that authority in the early Church was developing just as the biblical canon and Christology and Mariology and purgatory and prayers for the dead and original sin and everything else were developing.
In the Introduction of my book, A Biblical Defense of Catholicism, I wrote about what I meant by "biblical / scriptural evidence" in the first place:
Catholics need only to show the harmony of a doctrine with holy Scripture. It is not our view that every tenet of the Christian Faith must appear whole, explicit, and often, in the pages of the Bible. We also acknowledge sacred Tradition, the authority of the Church, and the development of understanding of essentially unchanging Christian truths, as is to be expected with a living organism (the Body of Christ) guided by the Holy Spirit. A belief implicitly biblical is not necessarily anti-biblical or unbiblical.. . .
In fact, many doctrines accepted by Protestants are either not found in the Bible at all (for example, sola Scriptura and the Canon of Scripture), are based on only a very few direct passages (for example, the Virgin Birth), or are indirectly deduced from many implicit passages (for example, the Trinity, the Two Natures of Jesus, many attributes of God such as his omnipresence and omniscience). (2003 paperback version, p. xv)
I wrote about purgatory elsewhere in the book:
The Jews offered atonement and prayer for their deceased brethren, who had clearly violated Mosaic Law. Such a practice presupposes Purgatory, since those in Heaven wouldn't need any help, and those in Hell are beyond it. The Jewish people, therefore, believed in prayer for the dead (whether or not this book is scriptural; Protestants deny that it is). (p. 128)
I gave the precise reason why some semblance of purgatory must have been presupposed. For the Reformed tradition, as well as for most Protestants, save a few like C. S. Lewis or John Wesley, there is no third state after death (after Christ's death and resurrection and ascension). Only heaven and hell exist, and it is useless and meaningless to pray for souls in either, as I argued in the passage.
Therefore, the question is, why did the Jews "pray for the dead" and "make atonement for the dead" as the passage in 2 Maccabees states? They did because they assumed that the dead were still in some sort of state in which they could be aided by intercessory prayer. And that can only be a third state besides heaven and hell. This is what the people whose practice is described must have believed. It doesn't require a fully developed notion of purgatory; only an intermediate state of some sort besides heaven and hell: a place where they can still be helped by prayer on their behalf.
An argument could be made (over against this scenario) for retroactive prayer (since God is outside of time and can quite arguably apply and answer prayers regardless of whether a person is dead) -- even Martin Luther held to something like this -- but the Reformed Protestant (Calvinist) tradition would reject that outright. That leaves only some kind of third state as an explanation of prayer for the dead as historical Jewish practice.
That I was not holding that biblical descriptions evidence purgatory in its developed dogmatic form, was made very clear in my later commentary on Luke 16:19-31 (Lazarus and the rich man) and three related passages:
At the very least, these passages prove that there can and does exist a third, intermediate state after death besides Heaven and Hell. Thus, Purgatory is not a priori unthinkable from a biblical perspective (as many Protestants casually assume). True, the Hebrew Sheol is not identical to Purgatory (both righteous and unrighteous go there), but it is nevertheless strikingly similar. (p. 133)
It is supremely important in arguing against a position, to understand how the opponent defines his terms, exactly what he deems as evidence, and for what particular position the evidence is produced.
I provided the same nuance in the insert H-2 ("Is Purgatory in the Bible?") from my New Catholic Answer Bible, co-authored by myself and Dr. Paul Thigpen:
(Like "the Holy Trinity," "purgatory" is a term not occurring in Scripture, but the reality it refers to is implied by scriptural truths.)
I habitually either qualify or presuppose doctrinal development or make clear in context that I am not claiming that Scripture "proves" a full-blown doctrine of purgatory. Hence, I used to have a paper up, entitled, "Biblical Evidence For Purgatory and Analogous Processes (50 Passages)". It was removed because I included it as a section of my book, Bible Proofs for Catholic Truths. The very title shows that I was not maintaining that each passage was explicit, and that there were analogies of process that suggested the concept of purgatory.
The Bible indeed provides much evidence or indication of purgatory. I collected 25 passages in A Biblical Defense of Catholicism, complete with massive support of Church fathers, who certainly believed that purgatory was in mind in these passages. But that is different from a position that would deny any development occurred. "Evidence" is not used in this sense to mean "absolute proof."
A hundred times in my writings, I've stated that the Catholic notion of "biblical evidence" is not absolute proof, but rather, consistency and harmony with Scripture and a given doctrine, including implicit and indirect, deductive indications. Here are some of the numerous examples:
As to Tertullian seeking to ground all doctrine in Scripture, or harmonious with Scripture (meaning that there may not always be explicit proofs, as Chemnitz himself later concedes with regard to, e.g., infant baptism) we have no disagreement. Catholics believe the same. (8-29-07)
The tradition of man here is sola Scriptura and the silly notion that absolutely everything Christians believe must be explicitly laid out in the Bible. There is no Bible passage that says that, so it is a tradition of man if there ever was one. Nor is there any passage that lists the books of the Bible. The canon is an extrabiblical doctrine and tradition that requires Church authority to accept. But all Catholic doctrine is completely consistent and harmonious with Scripture. . . . Now you show us where the Bible teaches that every truth has to specifically be backed up by a Bible proof text. I'll save you the trouble. You can't do it. (3-19-11)
This is how we ultimately know what is true: it will be harmonious with Scripture, and it will also be a tenet that the Church has always held, in kernel or more fully developed through time. (7-19-08)
Our Tradition must always be in accord with Scripture, and cannot contradict it. . . .It is all harmonious with it, and it is all found there in kernel form or more explicitly (material sufficiency of Scripture). It cannot all be found there whole and entire, as the Protestant inconsistently and unrealistically expects. But that is sola Scriptura, which we reject. (1-11-99)
Nevertheless, not every doctrine has to rest solely on Scripture. All doctrines need to be harmonious with, and not contradictory to, Scripture (which is a notion distinct from sola Scriptura). Another way to look at this difference is to realize that when a Protestant uses the terms unbiblical or extrabiblical, he usually means "not found in Scripture." When Catholics, however, use those terms, we mean "not explicitly in Scripture, yet not contrary to it, and fully consistent with it (as all true doctrines must be)." (Introduction to The Catholic Verses, 2004, p. xvi)
What I was doing there was stating Catholic dogma, which is entirely consistent or harmonious with that passage; not necessarily entirely drawn from it alone, as if every jot and tittle of Catholic ecclesiology is present in 1 Timothy 3:15. Of course it is not. But there is also doctrinal development, and there is a mountain of related scriptural data that we incorporate . . . (3-23-10)
I believe this of all biblical doctrines; therefore purgatory is included.

THOMSON, Ga. (AP) — Federal and local authorities were investigating Thursday after a small jet crashed off the end of a runway at a Georgia airport, killing five people and injuring two.
The plane overran a runway during its landing and crashed into woods at the airport west of Augusta, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement Thursday morning.
Two survivors were taken to area hospitals in eastern Georgia after the Hawker Beechcraft 390/Premier I crashed shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday, Thomson-McDuffie County Sheriff Logan Marshall said.
One of the survivors, a man, was in critical condition at Georgia Regents Medical Center in Augusta, hospital spokeswoman Christen Carter said Thursday.
Where the other injured person was taken, as well as that person's condition, were not immediately known.
The identities of those killed were being withheld until family members were notified, the sheriff said.
Five of those on board are affiliated with a vein clinic in Augusta that also has offices in Tennessee, said Dr. Stephen Davis, a plastic surgeon who works for the Vein Guys clinic in Nashville. Davis said those on board were: Dr. Steven Roth, two ultrasound technicians, a nurse anesthetist and a secretary. He said Roth regularly flew to Vein Guys clinics in the region, though other doctors working for the clinic did not travel.
It was not immediately known if any of them were among the two survivors. Davis said his brother Dr. Keith Davis and Roth co-founded the clinic in Augusta. He described Roth as "a great guy, a great doctor, devoted to patients and his family."
The plane with seven people aboard had departed from John Tune Airport in Nashville, Tenn., Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said. It crashed at Thomson-McDuffie Regional Airport, about 30 miles west of Augusta, she said.
Bodies of the five people who died have been taken to a Georgia Bureau of Investigation lab in Decatur for autopsies, GBI spokesman John Bankhead said Thursday.
Assistant County Fire Chief Stephen Sewell told the Augusta Chronicle that the two survivors were a pilot and a passenger. But he provided no additional information about those aboard.
A brush fire flared near the crash scene, and witnesses reported power outages that prompted a utility to send workers to the site, the newspaper reported.

Weekdays at 2pm on 98.7 FM Arizona Sports
Burns & Gambo
Postseason or higher draft pick? That is the question for the Phoenix Suns
We had quite a spirited debate about the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday's edition of Burns and Gambo.
It centered around the circumstances Phoenix would be facing if they make the playoffs and if they don't. I think it's safe to say the vast majority of us want to see the Suns rewarded for a very good season by playing some postseason basketball. Getting in brings added revenue to the franchise, playoff experience for a young roster and is a good morale boost.
But should the Suns squeak into the playoffs, their chances of winning a series against San Antonio or Oklahoma City are slim to none. They are highly likely to become first-round fodder for a dominant team.
And if they do get in as the eighth seed, they would likely have the 21st pick in the June draft. With the Eastern Conference being so bad, Phoenix would have picks after the 14 non-playoff teams and after six of the Eastern Conference playoff teams. The Suns' .587 winning percentage is better than all but two Eastern Conference teams.
Should Phoenix miss the playoffs -- even with that winning percentage -- they would pick ahead of the six teams in the Eastern Conference that have a worse record but made the playoffs. So the Suns would be in the 14th lottery slot.
So make the playoffs and pick 21st or miss them and pick 14th. Call it a silver lining or consolation prize should the Suns fail to get in.
Now how much better of a player do you get at 14 compared to 21? Only time will tell, but you certainly have more options. And don't forget Phoenix also has Washington's pick (currently 17) and Indiana's pick (currently 26th).
In the end, making the playoffs is the preferred outcome. But if the Suns fail to do that, fans will be happy on draft day when that 14th pick comes up.

En route, discover the stunning architecture of Helsinki, revel in the medieval charms of Tallinn, a World Heritage site, and immerse yourself in the cultural renaissance of Gdansk. You'll also explore Visby, a well-preserved walled city and World Heritage site evocative of the Viking Era. Spend two special days in regal St. Petersburg, featuring a visit to the world-acclaimed State Hermitage Museum and the Peter and Paul Fortress, and the World Heritage sites of Catherine the Great's rococo palace at Pushkin and the gardens and palace of Petrodvorets. Optional extensions to Norway and Stockholm are also offered.
Day 1 & 2 — U.S. and Copenhagen, Denmark

Day 3 — Gdansk, Poland/Lech Walesa
The historic city of Gdansk features several examples of Poland's finest medieval and Renaissance architecture. Walk past elegant patrician mansions featuring late Renaissance and Baroque façades in the Old Town and see the famous Neptune's Fountain. Visit the 14th-century Artus Court, a meticulously restored Gothic guildhall that houses a fascinating collection of Polish art.
In 1980, workers led by Lech Walesa founded the Solidarity movement, the first independent trade union in Eastern Europe and the key factor in winning the Polish struggle against Communism. See the historic Lenin Shipyard and its Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers. By special arrangement, meet the leader of the Solidarity movement, former President of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa on board the ship this afternoon. Mr. Walesa will discuss his perspective on Solidarity, globalization and progress in the region. (B,L,D)

Visit the medieval Town Hall, the only intact Gothic-style hall in Northern Europe. (B,L,D)
Day 6 — St. Petersburg, Russia
Peter the Great founded the majestic city of St. Petersburg in 1703 as his "Window on the West."

St. Petersburg's main thoroughfare, Nevsky Prospekt, showcases exquisite examples of Russian Baroque and neoclassical architecture. See the beautiful Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood (Church of the Resurrection of Christ), built on the site of Emperor Alexander II's assassination, and the 19th-century St. Isaac's Cathedral, with a striking golden dome that is one of the glories of the city's skyline. Visit St. Petersburg's first building, the Peter and Paul Fortress, constructed to secure the country's access to the sea. See the impressive Baroque Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul, containing the tombs of 32 czars, from Peter the Great to Nicholas II, the last of the Romanovs.
Later, see one of the world's greatest art repositories on the tour of the incomparable State Hermitage Museum, former palace of Catherine the Great and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The spectuacular collections are rivaled only by the museum's lavish interior.
The evening is at leisure. Optional opportunities are offered to attend a ballet performance held in the Hermitage or Palace Theater, or a Russian folklore show performed in the Nikolaevsky Art Centre. (B,L,D)

For the past couple of days, I've been listening exclusively to local singer-songwriter Eric Tollefson's new album, "The Polar Ends," in my car. Adding up the short drives and long cross-town trips, I've probably made it all the way through the record four or five times.
Mind you, I finished writing this week's cover story about Tollefson on Tuesday, so these most recent listens have been free and easy, unburdened by the need to listen with a critical and analytical ear. In other words, I've just been listening for fun, not as prep for the story.
My conclusion: This thing has a bunch of great songs on it. And boy does it sound good.
On Thursday, Tollefson will play his official album-release show at McMenamins Old St. Francis School. A couple weeks ago, he and I chatted about all kinds of stuff — writing songs, making the record, pressure, nerves, his upcoming relocation to Seattle to try to make it in a bigger pond. Here's an excerpt:
How the big pond treats him remains to be seen. Not that it matters much.
"If the wheels fall off and people don't respond to anything I do, I'm still going to write songs every day," Tollefson said. "There's just nothing in my life that makes me happier."
What matters, truly, is Tollefson's attitude, his approach to music, and how he feels about his work.
"Be a student of music and the industry. Represent yourself the right way and work hard," he said. "If you're going to approach something big, you've got to do something bigger than you.
"If this record was just me, I don't think it would come off the same," he continued. "I wanted it to sound bigger than something I was capable of. And I think, at least, I achieved that."
Eric's a solid dude who made a solid album, and I think you should read the whole article.
Elsewhere in this week's music section: local singer-songwriter Jackie Barrett's new album, plus The California Guitar Trio and Montreal Guitar Trio, Keola Beamer, Mann, Betty and the Boy, Polecat, A.M. Interstate, Sara Jackson-Holman, a Last Band Standing update and more.

Hey, remember the free Deus Ex: Human Revolution OnLive code that comes with the retail PC version? If you bought your copy at GameStop, chances are you didn't get the code. It turns out that the retailer decided not to participate in the promotion ... by force.
GameSpy is reporting that GameStop employees received notice yesterday that they were to open new PC copies of Deus Ex and remove the free OnLive token. To repeat: GameStop employees were told to open new copies and remove contents intended to be sold with the game.
A GameStop representative confirmed to GameSpy that the company is removing the tokens, saying, "Square Enix packed the competitor's coupon with our DXHR product without our prior knowledge and we did pull and discard these coupons." Indeed, some of our own commenters claiming to be GameStop employees said the same thing in our post revealing the OnLive promotion yesterday.
Joystiq is currently investigating the issue, including the possible legal implications of tampering with a product and selling it as new.
Update: GameStop has issued an official statement on its Facebook page. We've also turned to our go-to legal guru, Mark Methenitis, for his comments. Find both after the break.

GameStop statement:
Regarding the Deus Ex: Human Revolution OnLive Codes: We don't make a habit of promoting competitive services without a formal partnership. Square Enix packed the competitor's coupon with our DXHR product without our prior knowledge and we did pull these coupons. While the new products may be opened, we fully guarantee the condition of the discs to be new. If you find this to not be the case, please contact the store where the game was purchased and they will further assist.According to Methenitis, GameStop's actions were "probably legal." The packaging of the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution makes no mention of the OnLive promotion and, as such, GameStop can't be accused of false advertising or deceptive trade practices. "From the consumer angle," said Methenitis, "there's not much."
The corporate angle, on the other hand, could be a different matter. If there was an agreement between Square and GameStop prohibiting such a promotion, GameStop could be "completely justified" in its action. Absent of such an agreement, "OnLive and or Square may have a claim against GameStop for tortious interference or something else based on the activity." That said, without any details as to the distribution agreement, the legal implications of GameStop's actions remain murky.
Regardless of any legal repercussions, the court of public opinion certainly isn't looking kindly on the retailer.
Update 2: We spoke with OnLive CEO Steve Perlman about the bundling strategy and its limitations. He told us, "You can think of this as cloud game meets physical media 1.0."

text: So, the Brooklyn Nets didn't trade for Josh Smith like many people expected them to. Instead, Smith stayed in Atlanta, which is extremely anticlimactic if you ask me. The term HBAP has been thrown around, which stands for Hump, Brooks, and a pick, as the core package in a deal for Smith. However, Atlanta was a bit underwhelmed with this and decided they'd rather attempt to resign Smith in free agency. Only time will tell what happens with him, but what's next with the Nets? First, lets examine their potential assets for next year.
