text: Yes, I most certainly would. For the thing about us classical liberals is that we are in fact liberals. And this increase in globalisation, this expansion of free trade, that we've been having over the last 30 years or so has been accompanied by the largest fall in absolute poverty in the entire history of our species. That's something worth having, don't you think? And to keep it going all we've got to do is continue to purchase what we want to purchase from whoever we happen to desire to purchase it. Without Mr. Fletcher and his backers insisting on being able to fine us (for that is what a tariff is) for making a choice that they don't approve of.

THE WAY WE LIVE NOW: 2-29-04: DIAGNOSIS; Chest Pain; Frequent Cramping; Weakness
By Lisa Sanders, M.D.
Published: February 29, 2004
1. Symptoms
The patient sat quietly in the tiny emergency-room cubicle, his muscular arms and chest barely covered by the thin cotton hospital gown. He looked far too robust to be in the hospital, but it was his fourth visit in two months. ''I'm losing my strength,'' he explained quietly to yet another doctor -- Dr. Christine Twining, a physician in training in her late 20's. ''I'm so weak, I'm worried there's something really wrong.''
It all started a couple of months ago, when he noticed that his hands and fingers felt numb. Then he started having chest pains -- a strange tightness that made it hard for him to breathe. That sent him to his local emergency room for the first couple of visits. His mother had recently died of a heart attack. Doctors would take his blood, get EKG's and X-rays, then pronounce him just fine. As autumn turned to winter, he began to have a hard time keeping up at work -- literally. He was a garbage collector and noticed that the short sprints from house to truck, which had been part of his daily routine, now left him panting. And the cans he emptied felt heavier. His muscles hurt constantly; he had frequent cramps. By the end of the route, his arms and legs shook with fatigue. ''The guys would ask me what's wrong, 'cause I'm strong, a weight lifter, and I was too ashamed to tell them I was getting weak,'' he said. ''I'd just tell them I'd worked out at the gym real hard the day before.'' The truth was, he hadn't been able to work out for weeks. There were other symptoms too: he was losing weight -- 20 pounds in two months. And he was tired. After work, he'd nap, get up for supper, then go back to bed. He also had terrible constipation.
One night, just before Christmas, he was shopping with his wife and kept bumping into the shoppers crowding the mall. ''I couldn't make myself go straight,'' he said. His wife persuaded him to go to the emergency room. Again, he was examined and tested. When that doctor returned, he offered the anxious couple reassurance but no answers.
2. Investigation
A week later, he almost fell off the back of his truck. ''My fingers were too weak,'' he said. ''I couldn't hold on tight. Just one bump and I would have been on the ground.'' That was what brought him here, to the emergency room once more. As he told his story -- his voice soft and level -- he studied his hands, describing their disobedience. He needed both hands to hold up his coffee cup. His handwriting, he reported, was like a child's -- barely legible. His fingers could no longer tell the difference between coarse cotton and smooth silk.
He was 27 years old and otherwise healthy. He had asthma as a kid, but it hadn't bothered him for years. He didn't smoke or drink and lived with his wife and their 6-year-old daughter. His mother died at 55 of heart disease, and he had two cousins with sickle cell anemia. The rest of his family was healthy.
Physically, he was massive. Six feet tall, he weighed 240 pounds, and his chest, arms and legs were well defined. On examination there was no evidence of muscle atrophy, and while he easily passed the standard doctor's-office tests of strength, the resident thought that was because those tests were not designed for someone with greater-than-average strength, like this young man.
The patient had decreased sensation in both his hands and feet -- a so-called stocking-and-glove distribution. When the doctor tapped his joints with her small rubber hammer, there was no spontaneous jerk. No reflexes. When she asked the patient to close his eyes and tell her whether she had moved his great toe up or down, he couldn't say.
There was one other finding: on his last visit to the E.R., the patient had a low red-blood-cell count. Anemia was unusual in an otherwise healthy young man. The physician considered her patient. He had two very different symptoms -- anemia and this odd weakness. Were they linked? She couldn't know based on the data she had. She focused first on his loss of strength and feeling: having both made it clear his nerves -- not his muscles -- were the problem. There were dozens of possible causes for this type of neuropathy: diabetes, alcohol abuse, syphilis, H.I.V., thyroid disease, cancer. But none really fit this patient.
Given his occupation, the resident doctor focused on an unusual cause of this type of nerve damage: toxins. Could he have been exposed to some dangerous substance discarded thoughtlessly or illegally in the regular garbage? Arsenic could cause this kind of nerve damage; lead and mercury could as well. Moreover, these toxins could account for the anemia as well as the neuropathy, if they were in fact linked.
And what about the anemia? Had his low blood count predated this new illness? Sickle cell anemia ran in his family, and although he had no symptoms of this painful disorder, could he have a milder form? He complained of abdominal pain: could he be losing blood in his stomach or intestines? It was possible, though his stools had not shown evidence of blood when tested.

Health and Wellness
Health and wellness are used interchangeably to mean the ability to live life fully - with vitality and meaning. Wellness is the integration of many different components (physical, spiritual, environmental, emotional, intellectual, and social/interpersonal) that expand one's potential to live, learn, and work effectively and to make a significant contribution to society.
Student learning is at the core of the higher education academic mission. Research has shown a strong correlation between student's health, academic achievement, completion of a degree, as well as personal long-term goals. Health/wellness collaborations, programs, services, research, policies, etc. serve the higher education mission by supporting and creating healthy learning environments.

SAN ANTONIO - An apartment complex on the 5200 block of Meadow Field caught fire on Thursday, but thanks to come quick thinking by residents and firefighters, everyone made it out safely.
According to Wesley West, with the San Antonio Fire Department, the fire began in an empty bedroom in a first floor unit, which was occupied by a mother, grandmother and child.
Residents who live there are giving credit to Shawn Berryhill, an off-duty volunteer firefighter, for helping to save lives.
"He went around the back and busted out the window," said Susan Black, who lives in one of the affected units. "They were still in there asleep. They had no idea what was going on."
Berryhill said he was outside smoking a cigarette, when he saw smoke and jumped into action.
"I realized there was smoke coming up out of the roof, so I came running down, and make sure that everyone was out," Berryhill said.
In all, four units were damaged and all four occupants and their families say they have a place to stay for the time being.
Damages are estimated at $120,000 for the structure, and $30,000 for the contents inside.

College to Host Model UN
Brunswick, GA – For over 30 years, the College of Coastal Georgia has been hosting the Model United Nations for Glynn County public and private schools. The 2012 Model UN program will be held December 17-18 in the Nunnally Health and Science Auditorium (HS112) and in the Jones Building Science Lecture Hall (Jones 102) on campus.
The program is a two-day diplomatic simulation. Students from area middle and high schools play the role of delegates from United Nations' member states. The student participants develop skills in parliamentary procedure as well as gain knowledge about international affairs and organizations. The student delegates research the country they represent in the mock proceedings to be proficient in understanding the issues from that country's perspective.
The simulation includes mock sessions of the General Assembly and the Security Council. The Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Human Rights Council will also caucus and debate policy. This year's resolution subject areas will be civil wars and regional conflict; promoting democracy and human rights; and globalization, development and environment.
Community leaders and College faculty are recruited to evaluate student performances and recognize outstanding delegates. More than 250 students, teachers, and parents participated and observed the 2011 Model UN.
Tony Wege, Professor of Political Science in the School of Arts and Sciences, serves as the program facilitator and coordinator.

So I went to his website, FintonSculpture.com, to see if his work was any good. Well, his craft is good. But some of his subject matter left me scratching my head.
When it comes to nudity in visual art, I'm usually much more "liberal" than most other Christians I know. Taking figure drawing classes didn't bother me in college. Though I struggle with lust as much as the next guy, that atmosphere wasn't sexual at all for me.
But some of Finton's work seems to have crossed a line in my head. If I may think out loud here, when considering nudity in visual art I would probobably make three classifications: nude (in a classical sense), eros (yet still tasteful, what some people in the art world would probably call "naked" as opposed to "nude"), and then you've got the pornographic (just plain lewd).
The works that bother me seem to fall between eros and porn. One is particularly graphic in a sexual manner, but is odd because it lacks most of the bodies � it's very abstracted. This one probably bothers me most.
So anyway, now I've pretty much decided I don't want to stop there along the way. I'm just wondering what other people would do, and what you think of this guy's work, and what you think of my three classifications. Because in some ways I feel as though my aversion in this instance may be irrational???

Secretary Rumsfeld's Remarks at the U.S. Transportation Command's Change of Command Ceremony
Scott Air Force Base
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Thank you very much, and good afternoon.
My friend General Dick Myers, you are a superb leader and it is a privilege to work with you.
General Moseley, in your new role, we're delighted to see you. And Nordie Schwartz, congratulations to you, and General Kelly. Congressman Costello, a number of retired four star officers that are here, and distinguished state and local officials, we appreciate your being here, adjutant generals, and ladies and gentlemen.
Today we honor the service and accomplishments of our friend John Handy and certainly as we do so our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those who have lost so much in Hurricane Katrina.
TRANSCOM has provided exceptional support to those in need: shipping vital rescue equipment to New Orleans within hours, helping to evacuate thousands of citizens, providing generators, fuel, medicine and literally millions of meals. Our country will continue to do all that we can and bring all we have to bear to help our fellow Americans.
John Handy, it's a tribute to your impact on our forces and on our country that so many distinguished guests are here, military and civilian, public officials, private citizens. But before I express my great respect and friendship for you, I do want to take a moment to personally thank Mickey. How long did you say it's been?
MRS. HANDY: Thirty-seven years.
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Thirty-seven years, amazing. Think of the moves you've shared and the changes in life and the promotions and the elevations and the responsibilities that you've shared together. We thank you so much, Mickey, for your dedication and your service to the country, and certainly for the impact that you've had on service members and service families through these many years. You have certainly served our country and the American people, as has John. I thank you so much. We wish you the best.
A special thanks to all the men and women of TRANSCOM. Some of them are gathered here but what did you say, 154,000 or something? Think of that. They're not all here, but I know they're all here in their hearts.
The people of TRANSCOM have been working so hard and so effectively to get vital supplies to the units fighting extremists throughout the world, and to those in need along the Gulf Coast. They've done a truly amazing job, and I thank all of the men and women of TRANSCOM here and spread out across the globe. Thank you so much.
The transportation of war materials has been vital to our military since the founding of our country, to be sure. History reports that during the Revolutionary War there were problems with supplies and certainly in 1863 in the Civil War period there were problems as well.
One officer wrote, "The department of widest range in an Army is that of the quartermaster. Upon its promptness and efficiency the success of all military operations in a great measure depends. The duties committed to its officers are most important and requiring for their faithful discharge the utmost in energy and ability."
Few have better epitomized the sort of energy and ability than General John Handy. When he assumed command General Handy called TRANSCOM the lifeline of our military. He was of course right. He's managed this lifeline with exceptional skill during a critical period in our country's history.
Consider some of the amazing accomplishments in getting supplies to warfighters these past three years. TRANSCOM has moved nearly three million passengers and nearly seven million tons of cargo; delivered enough meals to feed everyone, all one million citizens of the St. Louis area, for over six weeks; they've provided vital relief supplies to victims of hurricanes here in the United States, an earthquake in Iran, and the tsunami in the Indian Ocean.
But many accomplishments have not been limited to the movement of materiel. Under General Handy's superb leadership TRANSCOM and the Air Mobility Command have fundamentally changed how they operate. TRANSCOM has given U.S. troops the means and the sustenance that they need to fight, the tools they need to train others, and the materiels and equipment they need to help nations build institutions of democracy rather than foster terrorism. This is a tribute to General Handy's leadership and to the skills of this great team that's been assembled at TRANSCOM.
I'm told that John was one of the very few in the Air Mobility Command to receive the Order of the Sword from non-commissioned officers, recognizing his exceptional leadership and service.
John, on behalf of the Commander in Chief, President Bush, and your fellow commanders and the American people, thank you for your service to our country. Thank you for your service to the many hundreds of thousands of service members that you've supplied, equipped and looked out for.
As General Schwartz assumes this command I'm confident that TRANSCOM and the Air Mobility Command under General Duncan McNabb will continue to perform with the same excellence in the years to come. General McNabb and General Schwartz will make a formidable team.
We wish you both well in your new responsibilities. You'll be following in the footsteps of a truly outstanding leader who deserves our thanks, our praise, and our full appreciation for his truly distinguished service to our great nation. Mickey, John -- thank you.

Heene Parents Plead Guilty to HoaxNovember 13, 2009 - 11:17 AM | by: Alicia Acuna
Update on Friday, November 13 at 9:13 a.m. local:
Mayumi Heene's defense attorney says many reasons went into her decision to plead guilty to a misdemeanor of false reporting, including the possibility of losing at trial and being convicted of a felony and as a Japanese citizen she could then face deportation. The Class Three misdemeanor carries a penalty of up 6 months in jail, although the judge stated the agreement indicates a probationary sentence for Mayumi. Judge also advised her she may have to make restitution in the amount he would deem appropriate. Her sentencing is also set for December 23, 2009 at 9 a.m. local.
Update on Friday, November 13 at 9:00 a.m. local
Mayumi Heene now appearing before the judge. The judge just advised her that the plea could lead to her deportation, denial of reentry to the U.S. or it could interfere with her naturalization. The judge says no one can guarantee it to her, citizenship is a federal issue. The judge also checked with both parents to make sure their minds are clear and that they're not on any medications which could impact their ability to understand proceedings.
Update on Friday, November 13 at 8:50 a.m. local:
Richard Heene's sentencing set for Wednesday, December 23, 2009. His lawyer is asking to handle it over the phone (in private) due to the media crush. Defense attorney David Lane also pointed out that his client is pleading guilty to avoid his wife, Mayumi's deportation to Japan. Richard Heene can leave the state to seek employment.
The parents made infamous by a giant errant balloon and an estimated 2-million-dollar chase to find their son will be in a Colorado courtroom tomorrow to admit it was all a hoax. David Lane, the defense attorney for Richard Heene released the following statement today saying the couple will cop a plea. Meantime, the sheriff in the case Jim Alderden will not be charged with releasing case information to the media. According to his office, there will be no reaction on the pleas by the Heene family because he is, "…on a well deserved vacation and cannot be reached for comment."
Here's a copy of Richard Heene's defense attorney statement:
November 12, 2009
Re: The Heene Case
Guilty Pleas
On November 13, 2009, at 8:30 a.m., Richard and Mayumi Heene will enter pleas of guilty in Larimer County Court.
Mayumi Heene will plead guilty to False Reporting to Authorities, a class 3 misdemeanor (the lowest level misdemeanor in Colorado law) with a stipulated sentence of probation.
Richard Heene will plead guilty to Attempting to Influence a Public Servant, a class 4 felony. The prosecutor has stipulated to a sentence of probation.
The stipulations carry the possibility of up to 90 days in jail for Richard and 60 days for Mayumi along with the probation. After pleas are entered the sentencing will be continued for approximately one month for the preparation of pre-sentence reports.
Mayumi Heene is a citizen of Japan. As such, any felony conviction or certain misdemeanors would result in her deportation, even though her husband and children are Americans. Because Mayumi, while being questioned by law enforcement made certain statements which the prosecutor could use against her to possibly obtain a felony conviction and thus, her deportation by the federal government, she is avoiding that possibility with this plea.. Unfortunately, the prosecutors insisted upon a package deal where Richard would have to fall on his sword and take a felony plea despite the fact that he made no incriminating statements to law enforcement and Mayumi's statements could not be used against him. Given the marital privilege it is doubtful Mayumi could have been called as a witness against Richard and the rules against hearsay would have prevented the showing of the videotaped statement she made against Richard. Upon reviewing the evidence, arguably, Mayumi could have possibly ended up being deported and Richard could have proceeded to trial and had a good chance at an acquittal. This, however, would have put the family at grave risk of seeing a loving, caring, compassionate wife and mother ripped from the family and deported. That was not an acceptable risk, thus these pleas.
It is supremely ironic that law enforcement has expressed such grave concern over the welfare of the children, but it was ultimately the threat of taking the children's mother from the family and deporting her to Japan which fueled this deal. Threatening to stretch what is essentially a low level misdemeanor into a felony prosecution followed by deportation upon conviction simply to make a point shows a complete and utter disregard for the true best interests of these children

I am wondering how many children in total I can adopt at any given time. If the number is dependent on where our home is, then which home allows me the most?
The cap is two, regardless of which property you use.
As a side note, I think you might even be able to divide the children between properties. Like having one live in Proudspire, one live in Lakeview, etc.
By default you can adopt:
However, there is a list towards the bottom of the Skyrim wiki, where it outlines different children that will actually get sent to orphanages and become adoptable if you murder their parents, which is hilarious.
By default, Hearthfire will only allow you to adopt up to two children. If you are playing on PC there are mods to allow for more. However, in order to adopt you must have a house (either a homestead or one of the houses obtained by being thane of a given city), and the house must have a bed and a chest for each child. This means either buying the Children's bedroom package for a house, or building child's beds and chests in either the main hall or the optional bedroom wing (The dresser between the two beds counts as the chest for both children in the main hall).
There are four children available for adoption by default:
As well as an additional four* from the orphanage in Riften once Grelod the Kind takes a permanent vacation:
The Elder Scrolls Wiki has a full list of adoptable children, and other information related to adopting.

ICBA Critiques Ex-Im Bank Programs
Benefits for Community Banks and Small Businesses
Washington, D.C. (Jan. 17, 2008)—The Independent Community Bankers of America told Congress that the Export-Import Bank is a valued partner in helping community banks assist their small business customers with trade financing. ICBA also commended House Small Business Committee Chairwoman Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) for her ongoing efforts to focus Ex-Im Bank resources on supporting small businesses and community lenders.
"Community banks are doing more with Ex-Im trade financing than ever before to help our small business customers reach global markets and to bolster local economies," said Paul Warfield, director of global banking, First National Bank Omaha, Neb., testifying on behalf of ICBA before the House Small Business Committee. "ICBA supports the beneficial programs of the Ex-Im Bank and community banks are eager to do even more with Ex-Im to benefit America's small business exporters."
"The ability for small businesses working with local community bankers to successfully reach global markets will continue to be a prime area for new job creation and economic growth," said Warfield. "With a declining U.S. dollar and growing global economies and trade, this is a time to strengthen small business export resources and build upon the successful Ex-Im Bank programs."
ICBA fully supports the Ex-Im Bank programs and proposed several recommendations to further enhance the Bank's effectiveness for lenders and small business borrowers alike, including:
- Enhancing the Ex-Im Bank's funding for small business outreach by retaining a portion of any excess earnings by the Ex-Im Bank to further advance small business outreach.
- Applying additional Ex-Im Bank budget resources to better staff and support community lenders and small business outreach nationwide.
- Having solid community bank representation on the Ex-Im Bank advisory committees.
First National Bank Omaha helps Nebraska small businesses sell agricultural equipment to companies in Australia and scientific equipment to India.

1Visit galleries near you and learn which ones show work that coincide with your style. Many galleries are run by a curator with distinct tastes, so play up to that. Research head curators and the work they show, ask yourself "would this person like my art?" Think about your medium, themes, approach, etc.Ad
2Demonstrate how your art differs from other artists' works. This is tricky, as your work may be similar to other work, but it can't be too closely related. Curators are business people, so they won't put all their eggs in one basket.
3Go to openings (usually Thursday nights) and network. Sell your enthusiasm and skill. Make them want it at that gallery and let people know you are highly interested in having your work there.
4Apply for grants. When you apply for grants you expose yourself to artists and curators who are on judging panels. Even if you don't win, the art community sees that you are serious.
5Avoid vanity opportunities do not apply for exhibitions (or grants) that have an entry fee. These "competitions" are usually fund-raisers for the organization or gallery and offer very little career advancement or prestige (and, in fact, including such a show on your artist's resume can make people take you less seriously). There are occasional exceptions to this rule (especially in regards to residencies), but for the most part you're best off not paying folks to consider your work. Especially avoid vanity galleries which charge you a fee to be included in a show (or to have a solo show). No legitimate gallery engages in this practice.
6Email a "letter of inquiry" to the galleries you'd like to show in. Include as many examples of and information about your work as possible. Include a link to your artist web site. Include a short artist statement with your general approach to your creative life as a whole. Many curators like to collect paper documents on artists before they will show their work.
7Start an online gallery. You can invite other local artists, or other artists with similar styles as yourself.
8Sign with an artist collective gallery. These galleries normally don't take a cut of your work but require monthly membership fees. Even still, becoming a member can be very competitive, so you will need to present your work and artist statement for acceptance. These collectives usually don't contract you to show exclusively at that gallery.
9Sign with a gallery. If you get accepted into a gallery, always have a contract. Galleries sell your work for you and take a cut, hence they are an agent, not a buyer. Ensure this cut is clearly specified in the contract. It's usually pretty steep, 20-50%, however, galleries want your work to be expensive because the more you make, the more they make. Thoroughly read any contract you sign, as it may stipulate that you may show and sell work exclusively through that gallery.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Don't limit yourself to local galleries, search far and wide for the best fit.
- When introducing yourself to a gallery, try to book an appointment with the owner or the manager.
- Persistence pays off, you may want to approach the same gallery several times over a few years.
- Be prepared for rejection. Everyone gets turned down. Keep trying.

Cavaliers tie Mounties in intense match
One hundred minutes wasn't enough time to determine which team was better Wednesday night as East Rutherford and Kings Mountain ended an intense soccer match in a 2-2 tie.
But for a team that's been struggling recently, the Cavaliers are happy with a draw.
"Tonight was the first time that we're actually come together as a team," East Rutherford head coach Neil Van Dyke said. "We had some early success this season but we've gone through a rough stretch and lost that momentum so we're trying to gain a little bit back."
The 100 -minute match was strenuous for both sides, but Van Dyke relishes the nail-biters.
"If we played the way we played tonight for 100 minutes, I'm so dialed in that I could go for 200 minutes," Van Dyke said. "The kids would die but I enjoy a game like this."
The Cavaliers landed the first blow just 21 seconds into the match when freshman midfielder Daniel Crane put a line drive into the back of the net from the right side of the box for a 1-0 lead.
East had a chance to double its lead 80 second later on a free kick, but Bryan Cruz's shot attempt from 10 yards out sailed over the crossbar.
"The early goal was big but, to me, I was more impressed with how they stayed on the gas peal and kept the pressure on," Van Dyke said.
Kings Mountain settled in and put two shots into the net over the next two minutes, unfortunately for the Mountaineers, each goal was wiped off the scoreboard with offside calls.
In the 15th minute King Mountain's Robert Baker knotted the score at 1-1 when he poked the ball over Cavalier keeper C.J. Warren during a scrum in front of the goal.
In the second half, East Rutherford's Jeremiah Johnson narrowly missed a highlight reel goal in the 50th minute when his shot from 25 yards out inched over the Kings Mountain keeper's fingers but also cleared the crossbar.
The Mountaineers claimed its first lead of the night in the 53rd minute when Baker outran the Cavalier defense to the penalty box and chipped a shot over a charging Warren and into the net from 16 yards out for his second goal.
However, the Mountaineer lasted less than 60 seconds thanks to a Ricardo Hernandez goal in the 54th minute to tie the score at 2-2.
"Ricardo Hernandez was incredible tonight," Van Dyke said. "We found a combination that works with him at outside midfield. I was impressed with his defense and his discipline on the outside."
Hernandez was one of a handful of Cavalier freshmen that impressed Van Dyke.
"We had freshman that stepped up big tonight," Van Dyke said. "They want some playing time and they're hungry for it."
Baker made a bid for a hat trick in the 75th minute as he outran East's Josh Jenkins for a one-on-one attack on the goal against Warren. But Jenkins recovered and challenged Baker as he lost control of the ball and forced him into an errant, inaccurate shot that Warren corralled.
Warren made two more saves in the final minute and forced the game into overtime.
East Rutherford appeared to score the go-ahead goal in the 86th minute after a corner kick, but another offside call erased the score.
In the second overtime period, Baker missed another golden shot for a hat trick when a close range shot bounced off the crossbar and back into play before the Cavalier defense cleared the threat.
The final minutes ticked off the clock and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
"We've given some solid efforts this year but not a whole 80 minutes so tonight was nice," Van Dyke said. "It would be massive for these guys if we can match this effort with even better results."
East Rutherford returns to action Monday at East Burke.
"Tonight is huge for us because we're in a stretch going against teams where we can be competitive," Van Dyke said. "We'll take our successes where we can and take the momentum with us."

A 1982 graduate of Carroll County High School, Mike Sharp admits he is probably most famous for being the little brother of Pat Sharp, who most regard as the best basketball player in CCHS history.
And while Mike didn't quite grow to be as tall as his bigger brother, he took his own path by becoming an outstanding football player and wrestler for the Cavaliers. Mike Sharp would go on to become a two-time first-team All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference selection as a defensive tackle for Hampden-Sydney College. During his senior season in 1985, Sharp was selected as an Academic All-American, the ODAC Student Athlete of the Year, and was awarded Hampden-Sydney's Gammon Cup, the top athletic award given annually by the college. Character, scholarship and athletic ability are considered to be eligible for the award.
Sharp certainly made the most of his athletic and academic abilities, as he now serves as an ER Physician at Atmore Community Hospital and Medical Director of ACH MedPlus Urgent Care in Atmore, Alabama. This week, we catch up with Mike to talk about Cavalier football and wrestling, the Alabama Crimson Tide, and life living near the Gulf of Mexico.
What year did you graduate from Carroll County? 1982
When did you graduate from Hampden-Sydney? 1986
Family members: Ashley Sharp (Wife), Jeb Sharp (Son #1), Bobby Sharp (Son #2), Sam Sharp (Son #3), Hannah Boothe (Step-daughter), Joe R. Sharp (Father), Elizabeth W. Sharp (Mother), Patrick Sharp (Brother), Shannon Sharp-Rutig (Sister), Jeff Rutig (Brother-in-Law).
Current Occupation: ER Physician – Atmore Community Hospital & Medical Director – ACH MedPlus Urgent Care in Atmore, AL.
What is your favorite memory in athletics at Carroll County? Unfortunately nothing I did. I think the best memories were of basketball when Pat was playing. Every game was standing room only; if you didn't have a seat by 5 o'clock, you didn't get a seat; visiting fans would show up & not have a seat; we would have more fans present at away games than the home teams; everyone stood & cheered the whole game; all the District & Regional play-offs, 2 State appearances. It really was significant for the school & the community. We all loved it.
What is your favorite memory in athletics at Hampden Sydney? There were almost too many to mention. Surprise as a Sophomore (after my first season starting) being chose 2nd Team All-ODAC; chosen as Most Improved Player as a Sophomore; 2 ODAC Championships; #14 D-III ranking Junior year; chosen as team Captain as a Senior; chosen Most Valuable Defensive Player as a Senior; chosen 1st Team All-ODAC twice; chosen as the ODAC Student Athlete of the Year. But if I really had to narrow it down, I would get it down to 2 events as most memorable. #1 would be the first game of the season Junior year, we were playing Samford Univ. (Birmingham). The first play from scrimmage, I shot the gap & sacked the quarterback. When I got up from the ground & glanced at the sideline, there was Pat & Mike (Rip) Worrell going crazy. #2 would be the same year playing & beating Gettysburg College who was ranked 3# in D-III at the time – that was a rush. On a sadder side of memories, we lost our Head Coach J. Stokeley Fulton the summer before my Senior year. Outside of my parents he had more of an influence on my life than anyone else.
Which was tougher, earning 1st Team All-ODAC honors on the gridiron or earning Academic All-American honors? I would have to say academics – isn't that the right answer? LOL. But I do feel this is true. The athletic part is just mostly reactions. Our brains are hard-wired for this. If something flies towards your face, you turn away – a reaction. After practicing play after play, you just learn to react to what is going on around you & you do what needs to be done. Academics are a lot tougher. Critical thinking requires learning new material & applying it to new situations in novel ways. Definitely more complicated than reactions. H-SC teaches you to think on your own & I for one had to work to accomplish this. I enjoyed sports without doubt & absolutely loved playing football, but I am proud of what I have accomplished off the field.
Do you make your friends call you Dr. Sharp? If not, don't you think you should? I have never asked anyone to call me doctor. Sure people do it because they feel they're supposed to do it or as a sign of respect, but I don't ask it of anyone especially a friend. I introduce myself as Dr. Sharp at work so people will know that I am the doctor. I never do it outside of work. I've always said, "My parents didn't name me doctor, they named me Mike."
We understand you are a big Alabama fan. Will you be rooting for the Hokies or Crimson Tide on August 31? I am actually a big UVA fan – WAHOOWA. So I cannot, will not cheer for Tech even if Coach Beamer is from Carroll. I am a Paul "Bear" Bryant fan, so I do root for Bama but I didn't really get upset when Texas A&M beat Bama last year since it was one of Coach Bryant's former teams. Now my wife is born & bred Bama fan & will cheer for no one else. We have tickets & will be in Atlanta Aug 31 but I will be in crimson. Complicating things some is that Bobby will start school at Auburn this fall.
Speaking of 'Bama, that Alabama-Auburn rivalry is pretty crazy. Have you ever had to treat anyone for injuries related to the rivalry? Possibly. I saw a guy who said he passed out during the game, fell backwards, & hit his head leading to a significant brain bleed. The odd thing was his lips were swollen & bruised so I really think someone punched him & knocked him backwards.
How big is the Alabama bandwagon right now? Oh it is big. All the talk is about the SEC & within that Alabama. Everyone loves a winner. I am a little tired of hearing three-peat. Being an outsider, I like to think I'm a little more objective. There are die-hard Bama fans & die-hard Auburn fans but I think there are some that switch back & forth. I couldn't believe all the Auburn decals I saw 3 years ago after their championship but I haven't seen near as many the last two years – they traded them in for Alabama decals. I am no fan of the BCS. I am all for a play-off but it has to be more than 4 teams – you remember Louisville spanking #3 Florida last year? I believe year to year the SEC is given more credit based on reputation by the pollsters.
Why did your wrestling teammates used to call you Fish? That is a complicated story. When I was a Freshman, there was a Senior on the team who wrestled a really good athlete from Radford & lost. The next time we wrestled Radford that same year, another teammate wrestled this guy. After the match, the Radford grappler came over & asked, "Where's the fish I wrestled last time?" When asked what he meant – let's just say it's a pretty derogatory term for a poor wrestler (actually the Senior wasn't that bad just that the Radford wrestler was that good). When the Senior graduated, I inherited the name. You couldn't have a team without a "fish". I didn't fight it & the name stuck. Friends still call me that when I come home (not doctor – LOL).
If you could go back over 30-years ago, what would the physician in you say to Don Beane and the other coaches smoking cigarettes on the football field? In a related question, what does it say about Cavalier football teams from that era that the coaches smoked during practices and games? Simple – don't do it. We said it back then. Our Dad smoked at one time & we were always on him to quit which he did. We've known for many, many years the problems with smoking but it was more accepted back then. I don't think it says much about the teams. You play because you love the game. You don't always get to choose for whom you play. It does set a bad example for the kids. I have always been a firm believer in leadership by example. Smoking is not the example of your leadership you want to promote. Unfortunately my college coach smoked too & lung cancer is what took him from us before my Senior year.
What were backyard ball games like between you and your brother Pat? In one word – ugly. We didn't have any other kids close by to play with us & one on one football just doesn't cut it. So we played a lot of basketball. He would spot me 15 points to get me to play & play to 21. I don't ever remember winning a game.
Was it hard growing up in Pat's extremely tall shadow? I didn't look at it that way. He had his talents & I had mine. He seemed to have a lot more talent. I played basketball through 8th grade but I knew I could never be better than him. So that was when I switched to wrestling (it helped that Coach Gary Willis was at Woodlawn teaching & recruited all us youngsters to come up to the High School & wrestle). Wrestling was a niche where I could fit. He was famous, I wasn't but he earned that distinction. I could use him for instant recognition though. "You know Pat Sharp? Yeah, I'm his little brother."
What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you on the football field? This is the hardest question. I can't think of a lot – maybe you repress those memories. I mean I didn't pick up a fumble & run the wrong way or have my pants fall down on the field. I do recall a pretty funny incident. When I first began playing football, it was in the old "sandlot football" league. I played for the Redskins under Jim Beck. On one defensive play, I tackled a pretty big kid taking a good helmet to helmet lick push the helmet down on the bridge of my nose. A large amount of fluid shot out of my nose. I jumped up & ran to the sideline holding my "bloody nose." I told Coach Beck my nose was busted. He told me I couldn't come off the field because we didn't have anyone else to play. I went back on the field & finished out the last few plays. After the game, I relayed this to Dad. He checked my nose & no bleeding or even dried blood. He laughed & said, "Son, you just had the snot knocked out of you!"
Which sport did you enjoy more, football or wrestling? Football was my passion. I just love the game. Wrestling is a great sport though. It is really one on one – you against someone else – who's the best? It has team & individual concepts. Even if your team isn't great, you can excel as an individual. But it's great when the team wins too. That's one thing football doesn't have. You can be a great athlete on a terrible team & never win a game - disappointing
Life must be pretty tough living near the Gulf of Mexico. How do you manage to make it through each day? Air conditioning. I tell you after almost 9 years I still have not gotten used to the heat. Honestly I don't know how anyone lived in this area before air conditioning.
How much dedication and hard work does it take to succeed as a college athlete? You really have to discipline yourself. You really have a lot of free time in college. I probably averaged about 5 hours of class a day. That leaves plenty of empty time. You can use that however you want. I realized early that I didn't have as much time due to practice or off season training. So the time left over I had to maximize as study time. I think playing a sport was actually better because I didn't have the extra time everyone else had to goof off. For me a little goofing off leads to more goofing off, something I didn't need to be doing. I think it may be different at higher levels, but in D-III you are always a student first. I was blessed that all our coaches realized that & stressed our education first.
What do you miss most about Carroll County? I miss Family, the mountains, cool summer nights, rapid moving cold streams, leaves changing in fall, North Carolina style BBQ, some snow.

Indiana House Democrats redraft right-to-work proposal
Bosma threatens fines if they're not ready today
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana House of Representatives on Tuesday was supposed to debate a Democratic effort to put the right-to-work issue on the ballot. Instead, House members once again ended the day in a standoff, with a promise of fines to come.
The reason this time: Democrats' referendum proposal violated the Indiana Constitution, according to the Legislative Services Agency, the General Assembly's nonpartisan research arm. Therefore, Democrats said, they want time to craft another version.
They've skipped five days of the first three weeks this year's General Assembly session, and House Minority Leader B. Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, said his party wouldn't be willing to take part in the hottest debate of this year's 10-week legislative session until they have another draft ready.
"We're willing to do everything — we'll do hearings; every other bill — but we need time on this one bill to at least have a fair, constitutional chance to give the people a voice," he said.
That led the battle to take a sharply personal turn.
House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, said Bauer had gone back on his "very public" promise to be there Tuesday — an agreement the two men had come to and publicly announced last week.
He also delivered an ultimatum: If Democrats don't show up Wednesday ready to debate the dozens of amendments they've offered on the right-to-work bill at 9 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, Bosma said he will impose $1,000-a-day fines.
"His word really doesn't mean anything," Bosma said of Bauer. "This was just a blatant breaking of a promise, so I'm done with delays and excuses. We'll start fining tomorrow if they're not here, and we'll fine every day they're absent from here on out for the rest of this General Assembly."
By not attending, Democrats are preventing the House from having the required quorum of two-thirds of its 100 members to conduct business. Republicans hold 60 seats in the chamber.
Though Bauer was not clear about when Democrats would return to the floor, he said it will take time to perfect the amendment they intend to offer.
"There's no way you could perfect that without several days of study," he said.
The idea of putting right to work to a statewide referendum has been Democrats' proposal to get all Hoosiers involved in an issue that was not debated in most 2012 legislative races.
That's a much different tack than Indiana takes in most cases. While lawmakers have allowed for local referendums on issues such as school funding and abolishing township assessors, and they've placed constitutional amendments on the ballot, they've not allowed voters to decide on whether to enact a state law.
There's a reason for that. Unlike those of states such as California and Ohio, Indiana's constitution does not provide for such a referendum.
A Legislative Services Agency analysis on Jan. 13 said, "In short, it is unlikely that the effectiveness of a statewide law could be made contingent on approval of the voters."
Bosma said while he would have allowed a vote on the Democratic amendment anyway, he believes it should be up to lawmakers to decide the issue.
"Our state constitution very clearly holds our General Assembly responsible for statewide enactments," he said. "Apparently Rep. Bauer came to that realization that it might put their pet amendment in jeopardy, and decided that was enough to walk away."
If Democrats don't show up Wednesday morning and Bosma imposes fines, it would not be the first time he had penalized them for staying out of the House.
Last year, when Democrats spent five weeks holed up at a Comfort Suites hotel in Urbana, Ill., Bosma levied fines that totaled $3,150. Democrats have challenged those fines in court, and that legal battle is still playing out.
If Democrats skip three consecutive days, state law gives Bosma the authority to impose $1,000-a-day fines. But House rules also give him the authority to fine missing members, and those rules are what he said he intends to invoke Wednesday morning.
Asked how many House Democrats are willing to pay fines, Bauer said: "None. That's why we're in court."

In Buyer's Guides: Atomic Clocks
Atomic clocks receive a radio signal from the most accurate clock in the world, the cesium atomic clock, transmitted from the National Institute of Standards in Fort Collins, CO. The radio signal that covers the entire United States will keep your clock accurate to within one second over one million years. You'll never have to reset the clock, even for daylight-saving time!
The US Naval Observatory which operated 70 "atomic clocks" provided the following background information about these clocks: 'A cesium beam atomic clock uses the exact frequency emitted by atoms of the metallic element cesium. Today, cesium clocks measure frequency with an accuracy of one second in 1,400,000 years! It is the most accurate realization of a unit that mankind has yet achieved. A cesium clock operates by exposing cesium atoms to microwaves until they vibrate and counting the corresponding cycles as a measure of time.

Product description
It is today widely accepted that we do not get the whole truth from any historian. Greek and Roman Historians considers the work of ancient historians such as Herotudus, Tacitus and Thucydides in the the light of this attitude. In an enlightening new study, Michael Grant argues that misinformation, even deliberate disinformation, is abundant in their writings. Grant, one of the world's greatest writers of ancient history, suggests new ways of reading and interpreting the ancient historians which maximise their usefulness as source material. He demonstrates how the evidence they provide can be augmented by the use of other, literary and non-literary, sources. Greek and Roman Historians shows us how we can use written history to learn about the ancient world, even if our conclusions are not those its historians intended. The author argues that their work remains our most important source of information, once we have learned to question and incorporate their imperfect regard for the truth. Grant's account is an indispensible guide to the sources and their interpretation for all students of ancient history.

Editorial reviews
Revisiting ground covered in his Ancient Historians (1970), prolific and celebrated classical historian Grant (The Antonines, 1994, etc.) turns his attention to several of his greatest ancient counterparts. Although many ancient authors were superb writers, Grant argues, "one must expect a good deal of inadequacy and misinformation from the ancient historians." This is due, he contends, not only to the pervasive difficulty historians and journalists of any age encounter in finding out what is going on, but also to the close relationship between ancient historical works and other literary genres: "Ancient history was understood not as history, according to our meaning of the word, but as literature." In his survey of great Greek writers like Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, and Polybius, and of Latins like Caesar, Sallust, Livy, Tacitus, and Suetonius, Grant examines qualities of these ancients that made them at once marvelous writers and unreliable historians. Ancient historical works, Grant points out, grew out of epic and tragic poetry and contained long, elaborately constructed digressions and speeches (which could not have been accurate constructions of what was actually said). Ancient writers were chauvinistic, moralized too much, and overemphasized religion, biographies of great men, and wars. Also, these historians' love of good though improbable stories sometimes triumphed over rigorous reporting of the truth, and they tended to condemn and praise persons, sometimes out of self-justification. Also, many, Grant contends, simply didn't get their facts right. Nonetheless, Grant concludes that because of the excellent literary quality of their works, and because they are the single best source of information about their world, the ancient historians are worth reading. A brief but intriguing look at a time when history was a branch of literature rather than a scientific discipline, and an essential perspective for classicists who rely on these works to reconstruct the ancient world.

Police: Woman taught San Antonio teen to be prostitute
Jordann Depascalis, 21, charged with compelling prostitution
Jordann Depascalis, 21, is accused of teaching a teenage girl how to work as a prostitute.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, undercover detectives with the San Antonio Police Department first encountered the 16-year-old girl during a crackdown on juvenile prostitution last October.
Detectives said they met up with the teen, a runaway who was working as a prostitute, at a Southwest Side motel.
During questioning, the girl told investigators that she first met Depascalis in March 2012, and that the woman introduced her to the concept of online prostitution, the affidavit stated.
The girl said Depascalis showed her how to set up an online ad to attract customers, and even took part in servicing some of those customers with her, the affidavit stated.
Depascalis was arrested Wednesday on a charge of compelling prostitution.
Investigators also arrested some of the men who they believe were customers of the teen, the affidavit stated.

Hit Movie Songs from the 1970s
Throw on your moth-eaten leather jacket, lace up your platform shoes, and join Rotten Tomatoes as we take a journey back to the hottest movie songs of the 1970s. Ah, yes, the 1970s: a time when blockbusters stormed theaters, disco and punk rocked the clubs, and hit soundtracks flew out of record store bins. We dug through the crates to present to you a mix of the essential cinematic singles of the "Me Decade," so without further ado, it's time to drop the needle on RT's Hit Movie Songs from the 1970s!
� 90%
The Bee Gees - "Stayin' Alive," Saturday Night Fever (1977)
In addition to providing an invitation to pack the dance floor , "Stayin' Alive" also serves to articulate the conflicts raging within Tony Manero (John Travolta). Strutting down the street with his impeccably styled hair and top-of-the-line threads, Tony projects an air of cavalier bravado ("Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk...") that masks a desperate yearning to escape his stifling home life and limited career prospects ("Life goin' nowhere/ Somebody help me"). "Stayin' Alive" offers further proof (if any were needed) that even the most despondent lyrics can go down easy if the music's funky enough. Or, as the brothers Gibb might put it, "feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin.'"

Isaac Hayes - "Theme from Shaft," Shaft (1971)
Pop quiz time! 1. Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks? 2. Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about? 3. What's the Isaac Hayes track with the funky wah-wah guitar and the stirring symphonic orchestration that topped the charts and won an Oscar for Best Original Song? Answers: 1. Shaft. 2. Shaft. 3. "Theme from Shaft."

Elton John with the Who - "Pinball Wizard," Tommy (1975)
The Who's 1969 rock opera Tommy had a narrative sweep that put virtually every other concept album to shame; the tale of a "deaf, dumb, and blind kid" who "sure plays a mean pinball" must have seemed like a natural for the big screen. However, director Ken Russell wasn't one to do things halfway; sure, the album had great songs, but the movie needed big stars. So he recruited noted thespians like Jack Nicholson, Oliver Reed, and Ann-Margret, along with rockers like Elton John, Eric Clapton, and Tina Turner, to join the Who in their working class fantasia. The Rocket Man was in particularly exuberant form as the Pinball Wizard, whose suspenders, jewel-encrusted glasses, and gigantic boots are of little use in the face of Tommy's pinball skills.

James Brown - "The Payback," Hell Up in Harlem (not used) (1973)
The Godfather of Soul recorded this funkdafied ode to vengeance for the Hell Up in Harlem soundtrack, but the film's producers rejected it for being "the same old James Brown stuff." Mr. Dynamite got the last laugh, however, as "The Payback" became one of the most sampled songs of all time and a staple of movie and TV soundtracks (including a remixed version featuring 2Pac that figured prominently in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.)
� 87%
Johnny Mandel - "Suicide Is Painless," M*A*S*H (1970)
Though MASH was a sizable box office hit and inspired a spinoff TV series that would become one of the most popular sitcom of all time, the individual who made the most money off the film was its director. His son, 14-year-old Mike Altman, wrote the lyrics to Johnny Mandel's tune, and as co-writer, earned well north of $1 million, which dwarfed his dad's $70,000 salary."

Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, and Little Nell Campbell - "Time Warp," The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
You have to wonder what people were thinking the first time they jumped to the left and stepped to the right; did the crowds that flocked to The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975 know that subsequent generations would also be spaced out on sensation like they were under sedation? That the film would become such a cult favorite that folks would be doing the time-warp in perpetuity? Now that would really drive them insane.

Rose Royce - "Car Wash," Car Wash (1976)
Nobody likes looking for a new career -- especially in these uncertain economic times. Fortunately, the good folks of Rose Royce are here to provide a body-moving treatise on the perks of working at the car wash! Now, they'll be the first to tell you that the pay is less than optimal, but the physical demands of the job are preferable to trench excavation. Plus, you might just make the acquaintance of a celebrated thespian or the leader of a Native American tribe, and your manager is unlikely to take exception to any horseplay that occurs during business hours.

Ramones - "Rock 'n' Roll High School," Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979)
The glue-sniffin', brat beatin', shock treatment-demadin' Ramones seemed more likely to play hooky than hit the books. In the Roger Corman-produced Rock 'n' Roll High School, the band inspired a full-fledged rebellion among the student body. (It's unconscionable that the Academy ignored Dee Dee Ramone's stirring performance as Dee Dee Ramone, pizza enthusiast.) The theme song is a typically fine slice of the type of pop-punk the Ramones perfected, with a bouncy, sing-songy chorus that celebrates the joys of extra-curricular pursuits like having kicks and getting chicks.
� 66%
Paul McCartney & Wings - "Live And Let Die," Live And Let Die (1973)
The Beatles and James Bond were Britain's two most important pop culture exports of the 1960s, but it took a transitional moment for the two to come together. Live and Let Die was the first 007 movie starring Roger Moore, and the title song was one of the first releases credited to Paul McCartney's second band, Wings. And like a globe-trotting Bond movie, "Live and Let Die" covers a lot of musical territory: it opens as a piano ballad before segueing into some crunchy guitar licks, symphonic rock, and a bit of reggae skank -- all in just a minute and a half!
� 86%
Bette Midler - "The Rose," The Rose (1979)
Is somebody chopping onions? In The Rose, Bette Midler plays a hard-luck rock belter loosely based upon Janis Joplin who succumbs to a fatal combination of bad relationships, substance abuse, and nonstop touring. Before playing the great gig in the sky, however, our heroine pulls a Dewey Cox and summarizes her whole life with this tear-stained ballad.
� 55%
Jesus Christ Superstar Cast - "Superstar," Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
In the early 1970s, it wasn't unusual to hear stuff like "Spirit in the Sky" and "Jesus is Just Alright" blasting from longhairs' transistor radios. Tapping into the tenor of the times, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice hit paydirt with Jesus Christ Superstar, a rock opera that took Broadway by storm; Norman Jewison's big screen adaptation brought the groovy, psychedelic vibes of "Superstar" (with Carl Anderson, of " Friends and Lovers " fame, on lead vocals) to a wider audience -- one that was receptive to a new spin on The Greatest Story Ever Told.
� 92%
Bill Conti - "Gonna Fly Now," Rocky (1976)
The perfect musical accompaniment for punching slabs of beef, ascending the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum, or jogging along the beach with an old pal, Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now" is also a tune you might recognize if you've ever attended an NBA game in which the home team is down by a couple points with a minute left in the fourth quarter.
� 79%
John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John - "You're the One That I Want," Grease (1978)
If Saturday Night Fever evoked the pain and confusion of young adulthood, Grease represented a sunnier, campier, smuttier flipside. Grease was a massive box-office smash that solidified John Travolta's star status and elevated Olivia Newton-John from middle-of-the-road pop singer to A-lister; their duet on "You're the One That I Want" is an irresistibly catchy bit of honky-tonk soul that's toe-tapping enough to turn any soire into a dance party.
� 22%
Steely Dan - "FM," FM (1978)
As a film, FM is a forgettable rebels-against-the-Man comedy. However, as an audio portrait of the album-oriented rock era, it's priceless, featuring hits from the Eagles, Tom Petty, Linda Ronstadt, Boston, and plenty of other mustached classic rockers you're too cool to admit you like. On the title tune, the subversive yacht rock maestros of Steely Dan deliver a largely irony-free (and decidedly static-free) tribute to the joys of listening to the radio -- a pleasure that the kids today, with their iPods and Pandoras and such -- have largely been denied.
� 81%
Jimmy Cliff - "The Harder They Come," The Harder They Come (1972)
The Harder They Come is more than a great soundtrack -- it's one of the definitive reggae albums, period. In Perry Henzell's drama, Jimmy Cliff stars as Ivan, an aspiring singer who suffers at the hands of shady record executives; when his life devolves into criminality and murder, his songs rocket up the charts, bringing new meaning to the term "number one with a bullet." Cliff's contributions to the soundtrack range from the optimistic ("You Can Get It If You Really Want") to the heart stopping ("Many Rivers to Cross"), but it's the title track that most fully embodies the movie's tone of hope and desperation.
� 86%
Cat Stevens - "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out," Harold and Maude (1971)
It may be 40 years old, but Harold and Maude continues to be a cult favorite of angst-ridden teenagers, and it's not hard to see why. Its influence can be felt all over the indie landscape: It's a pitch-black comedy that tempers its cynicism with the touching, unconventional bond shared by the title characters, and it's got a mellow, catchy soundtrack that subtly and melodically underscores the action without intruding upon it. Cat Stevens' songs are alternately joyous and heartbreaking, particularly "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out," which serves as a mantra for how one of the major characters tries to live and -- spoiler alert! -- die.
� 91%
Curtis Mayfield - "Super Fly," Super Fly (1972)
A so-so blaxploitation thriller about a reformed drug dealer, Super Fly has two very big things going for it: the fabulous fashions and Curtis Mayfield's stone-cold classic soundtrack. Alternately cool, sinister, and impassioned, Mayfield's falsetto is an instrument of immense power, and it merges seamlessly with a killer bassline and some hard-boiled percussion to make "Super Fly" one of the baddest songs of the decade.
� 82%
Bob Dylan - "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973)
With its echo-y drums, forlorn vocals, and elegaic themes, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" would sound like the aural equivalent of a Sam Peckinpah western even if it wasn't actually featured in one. Dylan himself played a small role in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid as Alias -- a fitting name for the perpetually elusive folksinger. Still, there's nothing mysterious about the appeal of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" -- it's one of the most straightforward of Dylan's classics, and perhaps not coincidentally, one of the most often covered.
� 30%
Michael Jackson/Diana Ross - "Ease on Down the Road," The Wiz (1978)
Regardless of its lack of critical acclaim, The Wiz's place in cinema history is assured by nature of being Michael Jackson's only major film role. A year before taking the pop music world by storm with Off the Wall, the future King of Pop was both raggedy and graceful as the Scarecrow, easing down the yellow brick road with Dorothy (played by real life Jackson pal Diana Ross). Even if this revisionist take on The Wizard of Oz doesn't fully hold together, it's electrifying in spots --particularly Jackson's high-spirited performance of "Ease on Down the Road."
� 87%
The Muppets - "Rainbow Connection," The Muppet Movie (1979)
The Muppets are savvy performers with the skills and panache to turn even the hoariest material into something inspired (and let's face it: Fozzie Bear's jokes are about as hoary as they come). Case in point: "Rainbow Connection." It's a decent pop song that could come across as sappy or schmaltzy in the wrong hands. In the banjo-strumming hands of Kermit the Frog, however, it's guaranteed -- guaranteed -- to put a lump in your throat.

Meet & Eat: Alex Chu, The Dim Sum Truck
The city of Los Angeles is in the midst of a street food boom, and Alex Chu, owner of The Dim Sum Truck, is one of the younger food truck owners on the scene. At just 23, the USC graduate already has a loyal following for two reasons: 1.) He left the making of his steamed and fried Chinese dumplings to the professionals, and 2.) Previously, good dim sum could only be found way out in the San Gabriel Valley, a treck most Angelenos were unwilling to make. Add to that the fact that dim sum is usually only sold during lunch hours and you've got a million dollar idea for a food truck. More

I'm a police officer and greg dillon has trained me for about a year and a half now, If this is a question of Mr. Dillon's character I'll be the first to say he is an excellent person and has good morals and values.
