Science Hill alumnus Ken Campbell won 650 games and a national championship during his 14 seasons at Walters State. (Photo contributed)
Whether he was leaving his baseball coaching position at East Tennessee State to take over a junior college or retiring from said junior college, competitive Ken Campbell knew when to say win.
The Walters State baseball coach announced his retirement this week after an unprecedented era of success during his 14 seasons guiding the Senators in Morristown. They reached the National Junior College Athletic Association World Series under Campbell for the fifth time this season, and he won the national championship in 2006.
At the start of the season Campbell told assistant coaches David Shelton and Joey Seaver, who is set to succeed Campbell, another World Series berth would likely spur his retirement.
"I just felt like it was kind of finishing on top," Campbell said. "I think we've got five starters coming back and we recruited really well. But that didn't make it any harder. I felt like it was time."
Shelton basically remained skeptical until the formal announcement.
"Even though he had told us that, I said to myself, 'I could see him doing it another 10 years,'" Shelton said with a chuckle. "I just know how tough he is and how much he loves it and what a competitor he is. … The sport of baseball, I think, has taken a great loss. He's had a great effect on a lot of lives."
Campbell, 69, was an All-Big Seven Conference third baseman for John Broyles at Science Hill, and the easygoing Broyles, whose Hilltoppers won state titles in 1947, '62 and '63, likely had some role in Campbell becoming a so-called players' coach.
"John Broyles, you know, he more or less made each player on the team feel like it was his team," Campbell said. "Everybody that played for him felt like they owned part of that team. I think I might've got that part from John Broyles."
Daniel Boone alumnus Dylan Pratt played at Walters State for Campbell, and was on the 2008 World Series team that Campbell says was his best collection of position players.
"Oh man, it was wonderful. I loved every second I played for Ken Campbell," Pratt said while echoing the sentiment of numerous Senators alums. "He was one of those coaches who cared about you as a human being. I mean, obviously, any baseball coach cares about what you do on the field. But Ken really cared about you off the field.
"He didn't take himself too seriously. I mean, you know there are times a team full of young men like that – you need somebody to get on you and get after you. And he was more than willing to do that when it needed to happen. But for the most part, he was content to let us have fun and let us enjoy the game, because we were a lot more productive that way. We played loose and we played to our ability rather than playing tight. We always played to win. … You can tell a huge difference between a team that's playing to win versus a team that's playing not to lose. He was like, 'Boys, go get 'em.' And that's what we did."
Campbell began coaching in Florida, including 12 years of football in which he said he learned a lot about coaching from the late Bill McCall. Campbell coached baseball 15 years at Eau Gallie High School (Melbourne, Fla.), where his players included Tim Wakefield.
"I was put in the Hall of Fame down there the same day that Wakefield was," Campbell said. "And Prince Fielder was a senior that year. He was there that day and they had a home run derby, and I saw Fielder win that home run derby. …
"My first year coaching down in Florida, two of the people that were on the other teams in our conference was ole Bruce Bochy, the manager of the San Francisco Giants – he was playing for Melbourne – and then Clint Hurdle, the manager for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was playing for Merritt Island High School."
Hurdle was managing the Colorado Rockies when Walters State won the World Series in 2006 in Grand Junction, Colo. The champion Senators attended a Rockies game.
"After we won the national championship we stopped off the next day," Campbell said, "and I was able to talk to him a little bit. He used to come into my office down in Florida and we'd just sit and talk about camps and stuff like that."
Success has made Campbell's move to Morristown look like a no-brainer. But it was an unconventional descent from Division I at the time following the 1999 season. Scholarships were scarce (approximately four annually) and money scarcer at ETSU.
"Coach Campbell did a lot with what he had to work with," said Science Hill alum Todd Anderson, who pitched at ETSU in the mid-90s. Anderson got the victory in one of Campbell's most gratifying triumphs at ETSU, a win at top-10 Auburn when the Tigers had future NFL wideout Frank Sanders. Campbell also fondly recalls Anderson giving Tennessee's Todd Helton, Bubba Trammell, R.A. Dickey and company all they could handle in a hard-fought loss, and freshman pitcher Reid Casey beating Tennessee in Cardinal Park a few years later. But it was hard to sustain a rally at ETSU.
"You know, I loved East Tennessee State," said Campbell, who played at ETSU for Jim Mooney when the Bucs played their games at Mountain Home. "I just knew at that time the program wasn't fully funded and I just knew I had a better chance of succeeding at Walters State. … And of course, you want to help kids and things like that, but you still want to win. But it was a tough decision to leave."
The Senators were seemingly always nationally ranked and frequently in the Top 10 while piling up 650 victories in Campbell's 14 seasons. Not that Campbell anticipated such a run.
"All I knew was that we were gonna work real hard and just do the best we could," he said. "I never dreamed of a national championship, but once we got in there and started playing people, it seemed like it was a lot easier to get better ballplayers to come down here than it was at East Tennessee State. A lot of players come to junior college because they want to try and sign pro, and they don't want to wait three to four years. I've been blessed to get a lot of good players down here.
"I know when Todd Raleigh was at Tennessee one year, he said, 'You guys could beat us to death this year.' And we could have."
Eleven players off Campbell's 2008 team eventually signed professionally. Pratt remembers the Senators taking the Double-A Tennessee Smokies to the wire one season in an exhibition game, and getting a lot of good swings and a run off Jeff Samardzija in a lopsided loss to the Smokies in the other exhibition game. Pratt had a hamstring injury when they played the Smokies his freshman season, but he's thankful Campbell let him pinch-hit.
"I said, 'Coach, who knows what'll happen? I may never get to see this kind of stage again. Please just let me get one at-bat. I don't care if I strike out,'" Pratt said. "And I did. And it was bad. It looked really bad. But he let me get an at-bat."
Pratt hit a home run against the Smokies the next time he faced them. He said Campbell's low-key demeanor helped players deliver in the clutch.
"He wasn't one of these bulldogs, one these guys that's gonna get in your face and tear you up one side and down the other," Pratt said. "He'd come in if you were really struggling and he'd say something funny. He'd say, 'You can do this. I've seen you do it. I know you can do it. I believe in you. I know you're struggling but just relax and do your thing.' One of his favorite things to say was, 'Do what got you here,' and it really resonated with me."
Many players, including Pratt, said the most fun they had playing baseball at any level was playing for Campbell at Walters State.
"All the players that came through here and played for him – if there's such a thing as a players' coach – they all loved playing for him and they all come back," Shelton said. "We're a two-year school, but if you had any idea how many people came here and left and came back and said, 'Golly, I wish this was a four-year school, coach. I would've rather spent two more years here than anything.' You know, that speaks a lot for Ken, and how he was here.
"I had Cody Hawn tell me that, and here's a guy that went on and played two years in the SEC and is playing professional baseball right now. He said, 'The most fun I ever had playing baseball was my one year at Walters State.' And that means a lot to you as a coach and reassures you that Ken was doing something right."
Winning obviously helped keep the clubhouse loose, but several said that works both ways.
"Coach Campbell always kept it light," Pratt said. "One time he was talking to one of our hitters who was struggling a little bit. He was a good hitter, and I remember thinking he was gonna be fine. Coach Campbell looked at him and he said, 'You know that, uh, that fella that plays third base for the Braves, ole what's his name, Chipper, uh, Chipper Jones?' And the kid said, 'Yes sir, yes sir, I know Chipper Jones.' And Campbell said, 'Yeah, Chipper Jones. Well, if you just hit like him, you'll be alright,' and he just walked away. I was horselaughing – just the way he said it and he was so nonchalant, like, 'Just hit like that big leaguer and you'll be alright.'"
Working for Campbell could be as enjoyable as playing for him.
"From a coaching standpoint, I think, one of the things that made him so special was letting his coaches coach," Shelton said. "He didn't try to micromanage everything that we do. That's the only way you can develop as coaches. We all make mistakes, but he had enough faith in us to let us make those mistakes and learn from them. And I became a better coach for it. I would dare say that every coach that's coached with him feels the same way."
Anderson was pitching for Pappy Crowe's 18-under team in the Palomino World Series championship game in Greensboro in 1992, and fondly recalls Campbell and then-ETSU assistant Johnny Cloud making the 3 ½ hour drive to watch him.
"I ended up pitching a complete game in the championship but Ocean View, California beat us 2-1," Anderson said. "I always thought that was pretty nice for them driving over 3 ½ hours when they really didn't have to because I basically had already committed to go to East Tennessee State."
Three years later, Anderson nearly pitched a complete game in ETSU's upset victory against Auburn. A chuckling Campbell said pinch-hitter Brandon Milhorn missed a "take" sign and hit a 3-0 pitch for a go-ahead double during a three-run ninth.
"I came out in the bottom of the eighth and we ended up going ahead in the top of the ninth," Anderson said. "I already had ice on my arm and I was like, 'Coach, I'm going back in.' And it wasn't like I had to twist his (arm). He said, 'Alright.' I didn't get the complete game … 8 2/3 (innings), I ended up getting. Scott Able got the last out.
"I remember we went to a steakhouse after that game. That was very rare. And I think we got to basically get whatever we wanted, and that was very, very rare. … Our pregame meals were buttermilk biscuits from Hardees. For what he had, I think he did a heck of a job at ETSU."
Campbell's Bucs defeated the likes of Virginia and Wake Forest and were competitive in the Southern Conference. He remembers James Lyons turning around to deliver the big hit right-handed against Wake Forest after the Demon Deacons had made a pitching move intended to produce a lefty-on-lefty matchup.
But Campbell didn't look back when he left ETSU, and doesn't anticipate second-guessing this week's decision. He'll look for a place in Florida to spend the winters, wants to work on his golf game and spend more time with his 9-year-old grandson and wife Margaret, the latter of whom has usually been nearby at the ballpark.
"My wife always sits behind home plate and hollers at the umpires," Campbell said. "We could lose by 50 runs and I think she'd say, 'Those umpires really stuck it to us today.'"
Retirement has seemed like a relatively easy call since clinching that fifth World Series berth.
"They really do it up right out there," Campbell said. "It's something. … That final championship game (in 2006), it was about the seventh inning and gosh, it looked like we were gonna win the thing, and I's just sitting to myself and said, 'Good Lord, just don't tease me this way. Don't tease me this way.' But we went on and won it, and of course, that was one of the biggest thrills of my life.
"Winning a national championship is a coach's dream. And I was able to live it at Walters State."comments powered by Disqus

Update: New row over Victoria Bridge as part of river closed to boats
Posted: November 14, 2011|
Boats have now been stopped from using a section of river in Bath amid fears over the safety of a pedestrian bridge.
Victoria Bridge, over the River Avon, was closed last October after cables and beams had become corroded, but the damage to one of the central parts is getting worse.
Council officials have admitted it will stay closed until next summer and now river craft are being told to avoid the water underneath.
The future of the 19th century listed bridge is fast becoming a political hot potato, with cyclists and opposition councillors united in criticism of Bath and North East Somerset Council.
The stretch of water between Weston Lock and the Bath Bottom Lock at Widcombe has been closed until further notice.
It was announced last week that the towpath on the northern side of the river had been closed while the bridge was propped up.
A British Waterways spokesman said it was co-operating with the council over the state of the bridge, which was opened in 1836 and was designed by engineer James Dredge.
The council says the state of the bridge on the northern side of the river – off Upper Bristol Road – has deteriorated in recent months.
In a statement, it said today: "The latest of our regular inspections on Victoria Bridge have revealed further deterioration of the structure, especially on one of the central hangars. The council's independent structural engineers have indicated that this is a serious issue as any weakness in the central area of the bridge increases the risk to the structure. We will be implementing temporary emergency strapping to address this issue and help support the bridge. This will take place this week.
"British Waterways are being kept informed of our actions.
"The emergency works to prop the bridge on both sides of the river were completed last week. Because of the problem on the central hangar, the temporary closure on the northern side of the river remains."
There is no pedestrian access to the south of the river in that area.
The council says regular inspections of the bridge have been conducted by independent structural engineers since its closure, and it has always denied that the delay in reopening it has anything to do with work on the 2,000-home Bath Riverside development.
The closure of the bridge has frustrated users such as cyclists and children who relied on it to get to schools such as Hayesfield, whose head Erica Draisey had urged B&NES to get it reopened as quickly as possible back in March.
A B&NES spokesman added: "The council recognises that the bridge is a key gateway to Bath Riverside and it has a significant heritage value to the city. We have been developing potential solutions to fix the problem and have been liaising with English Heritage on the permanent restoration of this technically complex, listed structure."
There had been talk of a temporary bridge being put up, but the spokesman said the council cabinet would next month discuss plans for a £400,000 temporary repair by next summer with a view to a permanent restoration by the winter of 2013.
The Conservative opposition group on the council says the authority should go straight to a permanent repair now.
The authority is planning to spend nearly £400,000 on a temporary measure which would involve creating a latticed box-truss structure to support the bridge.
Conservative spokesman for sustainable development, Councillor Patrick Anketell-Jones (Con Lansdown) said: "The continued delays to reopening Victoria Bridge are becoming increasingly worrying, particularly as the bridge appears to be in a worse state than previously thought. There is now real urgency to seeing action taken. If the council was planning a temporary fix to reopen the bridge it should have done so by now, not some time next year. The bridge has already been closed over a year, so the council should by now be moving ahead with the full restoration the bridge deserves; half-measures are simply not acceptable.
"It doesn't seem to make sense for the council to spend £400,000 on a temporary measure which could take another year to put in place, will not fully reopen the whole bridge, and could prove unsightly. The council could save this money and simply start work on the full restoration immediately. If the council is having difficulty funding all the work then perhaps they should open discussions with Crest Nicholson as this is one of the key gateways into the Western Riverside development."

One thing is the propaganda surrounding it, another thing is that the soldiers learn to use it for fighting too... That doesn't make the best ever fighting tool from the trench shovel, nor invincible supermans from Russian soldiers. However, it is a pretty damned huge blade to be cut with...
Now, Ru Klas, if I may steal your attention for a second:
what do you think of the Smersh knife series by the Russian NOKS knifemaker? I opened a thread on this, but it remains ignored... ;-(

Every military's soldiers use shovels and entrenching tools ("E-Tools") as improvised weapons.
The Spetznaz people supposedly sharpened theirs, creating sort of a three-way battle axe, but I've never heard evidence that the shovel was modified or "balanced" for throwing.
Sharpening an E-Tool has always been rumored among American troops for as long as e-tools have been issued.

e-tools are even useful when dull.
Rank and organization: Private First Class, U.S. Army, Company D, 8th Engineer Combat Battalion. Place and date: Near Kasan, Korea, 4 September 1950. Entered service at: Erie, Pa. Birth: Mahaffey, Pa. G.O. No.: 11, 16 February 1951. Citation. Pfc. Brown, Company D distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy. While his platoon was securing Hill 755 (the Walled City), the enemy, using heavy automatic weapons and small arms, counterattacked. Taking a position on a 50-foot-high wall he delivered heavy rifle fire on the enemy. His ammunition was soon expended and although wounded, he remained at his post and threw his few grenades into the attackers causing many casualties. When his supply of grenades was exhausted his comrades from nearby foxholes tossed others to him and he left his position, braving a hail of fire, to retrieve and throw them at the enemy. The attackers continued to assault his position and Pfc. Brown weaponless, drew his entrenching tool from his pack and calmly waited until they 1 by 1 peered over the wall, delivering each a crushing blow upon the head. Knocking 10 or 12 enemy from the wall, his daring action so inspired his platoon that they repelled the attack and held their position. Pfc. Brown's extraordinary heroism, gallantry, and intrepidity reflect the highest credit upon himself and was in keeping with the honored traditions of the military service. Reportedly missing in action and officially killed in action, September 5, 1950.

Apple iPad Keyboard Dock
Model #A1359 stopped working today. Is there a way to troubleshoot the keyboard? There's not much to it as far as components and electronics? It was working fine yesterday with an Ipad, but today it won't work with any Ipad. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!:Smirk:
Other things to consider... how is it powered? Via battery, a wall outlet, the iPad itself, or some combination of these? You may have a dead battery or a faulty cord that won't charge the battery.

Bank CIMB Niaga, the country's fifth-largest bank by assets, posted an almost 30 percent jump in net income in the first quarter amid a major rise in the gap between earnings from borrowers and interest paid to depositors.
Jakarta-based CIMB Niaga, controlled by the second-biggest financial institution in Malaysia, CIMB Group, said that net income rose 29 percent to Rp 938.2 billion ($102 million) in the January to March period this year.
Net interest income — earnings from borrowers after interest is paid to depositors — rose 8 percent to Rp 2.2 trillion in the period, the company said in a brief prospectus published in Investor Daily on Thursday.
Many Indonesian banks, including Bank CIMB Niaga and Bank Central Asia, have benefited from strong loan demand and low borrowing costs in the country's growing economy. Loans for consumers seeking to buy cars and houses are a major part of the banks' lending portfolios.
Car sales, considered an indicator of overall economic performance, rose to 250,533 units in the first quarter this year, up 11 percent from a year earlier, according to the Association of Indonesia Automotive Manufacturers (Gaikindo).
Total outstanding loans at CIMB Niaga rose to Rp 122.6 trillion at the end of March from Rp 109.7 trillion a year earlier.
CIMB Niaga is known as a major home mortgage lender, competing against state lender Bank Tabungan Negara, which also specializes in mortgages.
CIMB Niaga also lends to small and medium enterprises, and offers micro-finance and corporate loans as well.
The bank last week announced it had reached a deal with AON for the insurer to assist clients borrowing for ship purchases.
Shares in Bank CIMB Niaga rose 7 percent to Rp 1,290 on the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Thursday, leaving the shares up 6 percent so far this year.

WILLOUGHBY -- A woman was pronounced dead at MetroHealth Medical Center early Sunday morning after crashing her car on an exit ramp off state Route 2 early Saturday morning.
Willoughby police responded to a one-vehicle accident about 2 a.m. Saturday off state Route 2 eastbound at the state Route 640 exit ramp.
Police say Lea Martin, 33 of East Cleveland, apparently drove her car off the right side of the roadway and struck the guardrail's "crash cushion" head-on.
She was seriously injured and taken first to Lake West Medical Center in Willoughby, then transferred to MetroHealth Medical Center in critical condition.
She was pronounced dead Sunday morning.
Police say she was wearing a seatbelt and that alcohol was a contributing factor in Martin's crash.
If you witnessed the crash or have any have information regarding the crash, you are asked to call the Willoughby Police Department at (440) 953-4212.

In iMovie 11 Essential Training, author Garrick Chow illustrates the process of creating high-quality video using iMovie 11. The course covers the entire post-production process, from importing audio, video, and still images to adding effects, creating trailers, and sharing your finished projects on social networks. Also included are tutorials on adjusting audio levels, automatically identifying clips that include faces, and using green screen effects. Exercise files accompany the course.
In addition to marking your video clips as favorites or rejects, iMovie also gives you the ability to tag your video clips with keywords. Keywords are yet another way of keeping your library organized, and provide you with yet another way of quickly finding the clips you want to use. Basically, the way it works is you assign appropriate words to selected clips, like birthday, pets, vacation, wedding, and so on. Then later, when you're looking for vacation footage, you can bring up all the clips in your library that are tagged with the keyword "vacation." You can assign multiple keywords to your clips, too. So if you have footage of your pet celebrating their birthdays on vacation at a wedding, you can apply all of those keywords to the clips.
So let's see how this works. First, you want to make sure that you have the Advanced tools in iMovie turned on. We did this in a previous movie, but again you go to iMovie Preferences and under General, I will just make sure Show Advanced tools is checked. That makes, among other things, this key button appear in your toolbar. So to work with keywords, click this key button in the toolbar. That opens up the Keywords panel. Notice it's divided into two sections: we have Auto-Apply and Inspector. Let's look at Auto-Apply first. iMovie comes with seven built-in keywords for a variety of situations: Indoor, Outdoor, Landscape, Closeup, Wide Angle, People, and Pets.
So if any of my footage falls into one of these categories, I can add a keyword by checking it and then dragging to the proper selection of my event. So for instance, Outdoor, I could check that, and most of this is outdoor, but just as an example here. Just drag through this section and when I release watch what happens. You briefly see the word Outdoor appear there, and now we see a blue bar indicating that this video clip has been tagged with a keyword. So it's that easy to tag your video with keywords. You can even apply multiple keywords simultaneously by checking them and then dragging to select the parts you want to tag.
So maybe I want to tag something Outdoor and Closeup. And here we are, and we have this footage here of the surfboard being waxed, so I will just drag through that. Now I've tagged that particular section of the clip with both Outdoor and Closeup. Of course, you're not limited to just these seven keywords. You can use the Add button to add as many more keywords as you like. So if I do shoot a lot of footage of surfing, I might want to add keyword for that, so I can find my all surfing clips easily. So I will just type in Surfing, click Add, and now it's been added as one of keyword in iMovie.
Also, notice that there are numbers that appear next to the keywords as well. The first nine keywords in the list get assigned numbers, and you can press their corresponding numbers on your keyboard to assign a keyword to whatever you've selected. So just, for example, here let me uncheck everything. Let's say I want to tag some of my footage with the Surfing keyword. Well, its number is 8, so I'll press 8 on my keyboard. Notice it's checked right away, and now I can select some of that footage. Now the blue bar does tell me that I've assigned a keyword to that particular section of the clip, but you can't tell what keyword has been assigned just by rolling over it--at least not by default.
What you might want to do is go to the View menu and choose Playhead Info. Now when I role over clips, I see info about the clip, including any keyword that have been applied to it. So you can see we have this clip that's been tag with Outdoor. This one has both Closeup and Outdoor, and this one has Surfing. Let's go over to the Inspector side. Uncheck Surfing here, go to Inspector. Now, you will use this side if you prefer to select a clip first and then add a keyword. So here I can select some Surfing clips, and then I can either check Surfing or just press its number, 8 on the keyboard, to instantly tag that selection.
The Inspector side is also where you can check and uncheck any keywords you might've accidentally added to a clip. So that's how we tag our clips with keywords. But that's only the first half of working with keywords; the other half is actually using keywords to find clips. So down the road when it comes time to start assembling clips into a project, you can quickly find appropriate footage, or at least narrow down your footage, by clicking on the Show keyword pane button down here, which looks likes the magnifying glass. Check Filter by Keyword, and notice that each keyword has a red-and-green button next to it.
You click the green button to show all the clips that have been tagged with that particular keyword, and you click the red button to hide all the clips that have been tagged with that keyword. So now I'm looking at all the clips that have the Outdoor tag, but if I click the red side, now I'm looking at all the clips that don't have the Outdoor tag. You can click any combination of keywords. So if I want to see Closeup and Outdoor, I just click those two. Now down at the bottom of the pane, you can determine whether the clips need to have any of those checked keyword attached or all of them. So if I only wanted clips that had both Closeup and Outdoor, I'd click All.
And now we'd only see the clip that has both of those tags. Or you can click Any to see any clips that have either of those tags. This is also a good way to exclude any clips with these keywords. So I don't want to see any clips that have Closeup or Outdoor. Or I don't want to see any of the clips that have both Closeup and Outdoor. When you're done using this pane, you can uncheck Filter by Keyword and then close it, and that's how we tag our clips with keywords and search for them.

The city contracts with the university for their services because it saves money. The university also benefits because the doctors teach courses to medical students and train pathologists from both St. Louis University and Washington University. The doctors win because they straddle two worlds -- the practical and the academic -- and can pull the best from both.
Leisure is also the institutional memory, a bridge to the not-so-distant past when St. Louis had a coroner, not a medical examiner.
The coroner was a politician elected by St. Louis voters. Juries assembled and inquests were held in a now-disassembled courtroom in the building. Doctors would make their presentations and a verdict would be reached by everyday folks. "Coroner's Court" is inscribed in the cornerstone of the two-story medical examiner's building on Clark Avenue, next to the 14th Street entrance ramp onto westbound Interstate 40.
But relying on the coroner system made St. Louis seem unsophisticated -- hopelessly rooted in a medieval European tradition -- and it was also a hindrance to law enforcement efforts. So in 1974, the city voters decided to put the office out to pasture. The coroner's office was given three years to make the change, and on January 1, 1977, St. Louis got a medical examiner.
Leisure was hired in 1970 by St. Louis' last coroner, Helen Taylor.
He remembers his job interview for a deputy coroner position more than 30 years ago.
Taylor asked, "Baxter, have you ever seen a dead body?"
"No ma'am, I haven't," Leisure answered.
"What do you say we go downstairs and take a look?" he remembers her saying. Leisure says he followed her like "a little puppy" as they went down to the autopsy room and walked up to a body on one of the gurneys.
"And she just kind of pulls the sheet back and says, 'How does that look to you?'"
"I guess OK," Leisure answered.
"Does it bother you?"
"Well, no," he said.
"I expect you to come down here just about every day to look at these and understand and know what is going on with these cases," she said.
Even though Leisure isn't presiding over inquests and Taylor is dead, he faithfully keeps a promise he made three decades ago to a woman who is now a barely-remembered footnote.
History is an important part of Leisure's job. He's the guardian of the city's past.
In the basement, carefully organized banker's boxes going back as far as 1840 are arranged neatly on a shelf. There are books of the dead, some leather-bound and hand stitched. Neat, cursive handwriting entered more than 120 years ago on pages that are now yellowed list names, ages, occupations and addresses of each person who died.
The street names are familiar but some of the occupation titles are markedly archaic: servant, cigar maker, saloon keeper. An unborn baby is called a "foetus."
A card catalog going back to 1871 stands in another corner. Each drawer has two rows of index cards. The row on the left is the dead listed alphabetically. On the right side, the dead are arranged by cause of death.
On August 3, 1882, a seven-year-old boy who lived on Carondelet Boulevard was thrown from a horse-drawn wagon and died when his head hit a stone near Gravois and Jefferson avenues. On January 20, 1880, a 23-year-old man was shot in a saloon at Sixth and Market streets. In January and December 1886, there were two legal hangings performed by the St. Louis sheriff. Both men were listed as "colored."
On September 1, 1871, a man "under the influence of liquor" fell off the steamer, the Molly McPike, while it was on the Mississippi River between Olive and Pine streets. He drowned. A month later, a man fell overboard from the deck of a steamer, the Hensley, at the foot of Morgan Street. He was "in the state of intoxication."
In 1892, five men were killed when a steam boiler exploded at the Laclede Fire Brick Manufacturing Company. Another man died at the Anheuser Brewery on February 21, 1880, struck by a barrel of cement thrown down a chute.
The malaria segment of the 1890s drawer is thick with index-card entries. In the 1920s drawer, index cards are filed with women who died from criminal abortions performed by "unknown persons."
All of the coroner's records are public documents. But after the changeover to the medical examiner system in 1977, the records became private, treated like medical records. The banker's boxes in the basement are carefully divided between the public and the private.
Protecting patient privacy, even if the patient is dead, is a core principle in the office.
"A dead person has the right of privacy," says Graham in a resolute voice. "They are still people and I think that it is important that you never lose sight that you're dealing with people."
That means that autopsies are generally limited to medical students and people connected with law enforcement. The office frequently has community and student groups tour the building, but the walk-through is very limited. If the autopsy room is being used, they can't even see the metal tables and instruments.
"When people call you wanting to book tours, they're looking for the Freddy Krueger stuff," says Leisure. "They aren't looking for a boring lecture on the medical examiner and the coroner system. They want to see bodies and they want to see blood.

U.N. Conference In Brazil Could Delay UFC 147 Event / Silva vs. Sonnen Rematch
UFC president Dana White announced tonight at the UFC on FUEL TV 2 post-fight press conference that they may be forced to reschedule and/or change the location of "UFC 147: Silva vs. Sonnen II"
The reason behind the possible change is a United Nations Conference scheduled for Rio on June 20-22.
"We're working on it, it's still a work in progress. The problem down in Rio right now is they're having a big United Nations convention down there, so there's some stuff going on, we're working through it trying to figure this whole thing out," said the UFC president.
The conference is a big resource hog on any city it lands in and as such could be a logistical nightmare for the UFC's planned soccer stadium show to go on during the same weekend. Not only will city officials have their hands full but travelers may find that they have no place to stay while trying to attend one of the two events.
"Don't know, we're waiting to hear back, we're trying to figure this whole thing out. The problem is that first of all they don't like the idea of us coming at the same time as this United Nations convention's going on, the other problem is hotel rooms. Most of the hotel rooms are being taken up," said White.
"We don't think, we know, that the Chael Sonnen/Anderson Silva fight it's one of the biggest sporting events this year in the world, so we need to make sure (there's room) especially when you're doing an 80,000-seat soccer stadium. There better be some hotel rooms… Hopefully, we'll get this thing done within the next few days, one way or the other."

if silva doesn't mind not being in brazil, go to Wembley Stadium, that would be sick !!!
you stupid idiots they already sold out the staduim and sold all the tickets.,..and silva wants to lose his belt and then retire in brazil
Ever heard of a refund? It has happened before. Also, Silva isn't losing his belt in this fight. And, if he wanted to retire so badly…why would he take a fight with the intent to lose, rather than retiring on top? Your logic is flawless sir, lol!
how could it be sold out before they even started selling tickets you dumb shit???
Well I think you've done it. You are now officially the dumbest motherfucker ever to leave his comment on BJPenn.com….Congratulations!
I think the this event will not gonna be held in Brazil because Chael is begging for Dana to not to do it in Brazil because he knows that he will gonna get lynched specially if he win.
You have horrible grammar, and you are wrong.
This is just , easu way to rescue Chael from being killed by the brazilians. Danna, Chael talked a lot of things about Brazil and its people; do not protect him. Make him go to Brazil and face the country he insulted.
Can you say "COWBOYS STADIUM". You have Texas, and three surrounding states with a lot of love for mma, all within driving distance. Not to mention everyone that will fly in. There's plenty of motels, and we would probably get to Watch Anderson vs Chael, instead of seeing the UFC on one of those to shocking for tv videos where a crazy mob starts a riot in a soccer stadium over a sporting event.
Yeah ofcourse again with Sonnen's USA chanting fans. He had his fight in USA now the rematch has to happen in Brazil.
Chael is gonna get lynched!!! I hope not but that's what i fear of.
This just gives CHEATER Sonnen more time to get all JUICED back up
They are doing everything to make this happen in US.
I am not Brazilian, but this fight won't be the same if is not in Brazil.
They are arranging an excuse to change this to US.
If this happen plus OVEREEM fighting Juiced, I will never watch UFC again. NEVER.
That will be fine with everyone. Take your whining ass on somewhere and the world sill be a better place.
I get what your saying. That would definitely kill the excitement of watching the UFC or MMA for me if Overeem still fought JDS.
And yet everybody is excited to see Silva fight fael testosteronnen.
I don't to sound like a hypocrite but it seems like he isn't abusing anymore. He actually looks a lot smaller in interviews compared to interview he's done in the past and he did serve his suspension.
He did look smaller in the Bisping fight, and it was noticeable his testosterone ratio's were probably normal too, cause he lost that fight. But I wonder what he will look like leading up to the Silva-Sonnen II fight.
I bet he will be juicing during his camp and calculate the cycle so he pisses reasonable levels before the fight though. After the fight against Bisping he must have realized Silva will beat him up if he doesn't juice himself up.
Doesn't matter where the fight happens. Chaels still getting his ass kicked
Forget Sonnen, if Anderson comes in juiced (and that's a possibility) the UFC will fall like a house of cards.

Shapify creates 3D-printed selfies using Kinect
Shapify lets you 3D-scan yourself using Microsoft Kinect, then send away for a 3D-printed miniature model.
If you have a current-gen Kinect, you could soon be the owner of your very own selfie statue. In concept, Shapify.me's service is similar to Germany's Twinkind, which set up a photo booth for your portrait, but Shapify's a little more DIY (and a little more lo-res).
Using Kinect for Windows or Kinect for Xbox 360, you can scan in your own image. First, you need to download and install the Shapify.me app and the Microsoft Kinect SDK.
Then you connect the Kinect to your computer and press the "capture" button to start scanning. This is when you need to get into position -- about 3 feet away from the Kinect, which should be at about chest height -- and strike a pose, turning slowly in a circle, stopping at 45-degree intervals for eight shots.
As you can see by the sample image above, it's not perfect, but at a flat rate of $59, a lot cheaper than Twinkind's booth, it's not a bad deal. Currently, the service ships to the US, Canada, and Europe, and the company says it will be extending its services worldwide soon.

Thanks David,
Most of my shutters look like they have been well cared for over the years by the people who have owned them previously. This probably explains why I haven't had any problems with some even though they are very old.

I got it!
The "Best Wide Angle bang " for my respective currency just arrived in my mail: a 135mm/f:7 "Mono-Werke Monoplast" which looks like it has about 100° coverage. Total price, including three other lenses (all bought as "old shutters with glass in them): Euro 24.-
-- Ole Tjugen, Luddite Elitist
I guess I should have also included coverage circle as somewhat of a requirement. I currently have a 150mm Sironar N (I think it's an N) and I wished I would have bought something with larger image area.
Hi David
I have a 90mm f8 Super Angulon from 1950 it has the compur 00 and a selftimer.
The lens is not to bad but against the todays standards wide lenses is it a bit behind and has not a flatfield. Also does it have a bit of focus shift!

In addition to the 90mm f/6.8 Angulon and the various versions of the Super-Angulon another good wide angle lens for 4X5 is the 90mm f/8 Ilex-Calumet Wide Field Caltar. I don't know the exact design of this lens but its coverage and performance are very similar to that of the Super-Angulon. I use this lens as a super wide angle lens on 5X7 and it covers nicely when stopped down, but with virtually no movements.
Sandy King
if you can find a wollensak 3 1/2 " exwa ( extreme wide angle ) it is pretty inexpensive and works well. stopped down it will cover 5x7. on the down side, it is a f12 ( but it opens more for focusing ) and there is not flash sync. it is mounted in a tiny little alphax shutter. i used it as a back-up when my 90mm raptar ( also a nice lens ) was on the blink.
good luck!

Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry

Grab video code:
Dorm-room gourmet at its best. I lived on Ramen noodles all throughout college, so this is my spin on an old dish I love
to make.
Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry,dorm room food,easy Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry,Nathan Lippy
Grab video code:
Male: Also somebody very special who's here with us right off the bat, we're talking ramen noodles
and they're not just for college kids anymore?
Female: They're not, we've got a new twist on an old staple and here to show us a cool way to use this
economical pasta is chef Nathan Lippy of Food, Drinks and Rock and Roll.
Male: To the kitchen.
Female: Here' we go, let's get cooking.
Nathan: What's going on man.
Male: Nathan how are you, good to see you.
Female: I like the new do. Nice to see you.
Nathan: Thank you very much, you too.
Female: So ramen noodles, we can go gourmet with ramen noodles.
Nathan: We can. It's what I like to call dorm room gourmet. I know like every college kid at least when I
was in college, eggs and ramen noodles, grew up on them, you know what I mean.
Female: I still do, I still like them.
Nathan: They're delicious.
Male: You know what I like about them is when you buy them in the soups and such, you can take
forever to eat them, it feels like you've eaten a whole lot because sometime, they're fun to eat.
Nathan: They are, this dish is so simple.
Female: And you're a fun guy.
Nathan: Have ramen noodles, get a little bit of boiling water. You want to crank that up for me up to
high. Sounds great. A little bit of ramen noodles, they're going to go right in the water. There's
two keys to this dish. One of the keys is we don't want to cook the noodles too long because
we're going to go back into the sauté pan with the beef. This will be good so we're doing a beer.
Female: That's the packet of flavor.
Nathan: Got to love the flavor packet. So we're going to get a little sauté pan.
Female: Just the smell of this brings back memories.
Nathan: A little bit of olive oil.
Male: What's a package of ramen noodles cost these days. I think I will buy them in buy and they're
really cheap.
Nathan: I think it's 5 for a dollar.
Male: What a deal.
Female: We're also going to save money.
Nathan: A little beef, a little bit of olive oil, watch the pop.
Male: Is that an expensive kind of beef or-
Nathan: You know what you can use pretty much any beef you want. We're trying to save money here
right so look at the price tag. It's not going to really matter. Thin sliced.
Male: You thin sliced it so it's going to cook very well.
Nathan: But if you want to get a little crazy with it, you can go sirloin or something like that might be
good. So sauté it just a little bit. Then we have some mushrooms, we have some bell peppers,
some red and some green, I have some carrots and a little bit of garlic and we're going to touch
it with lime juice.
Female: Really gourmet.
Male: By the time you get all this in there, you've got like stew for five.
Nathan: We're doing good so this is going so we're going to add our carrots. We're going to add some of
our peppers.
Female: When you were in college did you cook this for your dorm mates?
Nathan: I did.
Female: Everybody wanted to eat at Nate's.
Nathan: To be honest I actually joked about it more than anything. Because we're studying this fine
cuisine and we're studying really great food and here I am in my dorm room making ramen but
that's all the part of the fun of it. I love it and I think it's great and I think more importantly, all
my friends actually secretly loved it.
Female: I bet they're still making it.
Nathan: They probably are.
Male: As you said, this is really easy, right before we went on, you said this will be like real time
cooking, this dish will happen right before your very eyes.
Nathan: What are we at, 2 minutes now, look at this, almost finished. So you see we're starting to get a
little bit of color at the bottom can you see that. This is called fond and it's the protein from the
meat kind of starting to caramelize a little bit. We're going to deglaze that with a touch of soy
sauce. That's the other thing to remember in this dish. The soy sauce will caramelize really
quickly and burn. It will caramelize real quick.
Male: When you say deglaze, does that mean, it's going to pull it off the bottom of the pan?
Nathan: Exactly, I'll actually show you, check this out, ready? You see that brown color in the bottom, a
little bit of that action, go for it. Four shakes. One, two, three, four. So you see it's starting to
bubble up and it's starting to caramelize immediately so give that a good stir in, you can see all
that brown starting to come up. That means all that flavor is going back.
Female: This smells awfully good.
Male: It does, it's awfully steamy in here. You get a sauna at the same time.
Nathan: So we take our noodles that are about halfway cooked. We're going to go right into the pan
here. This is one of my favorite dishes.
Female: My husband still buys ramen noodles a lot and he just eats them the old fashioned way but I
think he'd love this.
Male: We keep several packages just as staples sitting around just in case. Always great when you
have a cold too, when you get colds and stuff, I love ramen noodles when you're sick.
Female: Something very comforting about it.
Nathan: So give this a nice little toss. The colors are great in this dish and the noodles absolutely love it.
This is kind of like a dorm room gourmet. A lot of the recipes on my site at nathanlippy.com
have a lot of this kind of stuff, super quick, super easy and tons of fun.
Female: And super delish.
Male: You could serve this up with chopsticks too couldn't you?
Nathan: You can, I should have brought chopsticks.
Female: It's okay.
Nathan: You can actually add some chilies, add some maybe deglaze with sake instead of soy sauce, you
know what I'm talking about so we're going to go right from here.
Male: Let me turn this on.
Nathan: You're a good sous chef.
Male: Thanks, I'm used to playing second banana.
Nathan: Second banana, you're a silly banana Dave.
Female: You're never a second banana, you're the main banana. I'm going to taste some. Like Nate
mentioned, he does have his own website, we will link you to his website through
daytimeonline.tv and we will have this very easy recipe for you if you haven't memorized it
because that wasn't hard at all, this is something I could do tonight.
Male: That was very very easy. Nathan Lippy thank you very very much.
Female: Thank you.

Between a lovely tribute to the little town of Bethlehem and the Blessed Virgin Mary's magnificent song of praise, the letter to the Hebrews reminds us in no uncertain terms that Christ's advent is for "the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." It is the kind of tension in which the church always lives as when in the holy communion, with high delight, "we proclaim the Lord's death."

meet for coffee or maybe dinner and a movie
Going out to dinner and seing a show or going downtown to Navy pier
Somewhere where we can both relax, but still able to get to know each other. Walking and talking is always good, I think. You pick the setting :-)
Kicking back by the lake steaks on the grill. With a line in the water
Lets chat about this later, then we can decide where and when we want to go.
check out the city maybe see a movie go out anything but the CN tower (I have a small fear of heights I'm working up the nerve to go up)
A nice day trip to make new memories with a new friend.
Love to travel and see new things.
My first date idea would b n a park maybe a picnic just to get to know one another
I'm new to the area so not sure what's available but a walk in the park, sightseeing, sporting event, or something with some culture sounds fun.
Meet in park so we can talk and get to know each other.maybe take walk enjoying the weather.
Go to the zoo, it's simple, fun, relaxing, and allows you to talk without being uptight. You can get to know each other.
I am not quite sure because I have never been on a date
Quick flight to the Keys or Carribean, or 3 day cruise to the Bahamas
Drinks, walk in the park, something fun.

The Procter & Gamble Co. is recalling some 120,000 bottles of Vicks Sinex nasal spray after the company found bacteria in some samples during routine testing.
Spokesman Tom Millikin describes the voluntary recall as a precaution after small amounts of the B. cepacia bacteria were found in the over-the-counter product at the German plant where it's made.
Millikin says no illnesses have been reported. He says the bacteria could harm people with chronic lung problems or weakened immune systems.
Three lots of the spray sent to stores in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom are being recalled.
The company, which is based in Cincinnati, says it has informed regulatory authorities in the affected countries.

This is in response to the recent Editorial "Horace Nye: It's time to sell"
"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts." - Abraham Lincoln
The Horace Nye Home is in my opinion the most important asset that the taxpayers of Essex County own. This facility through the years has been the final resting place for many residents who also contributed taxes and played key roles within this county for many years. In my community alone I can think of seven current residents of the Horace Nye Home that were long time successful local business owners in the Town of Moriah. One would have to wonder where these individuals would now be if the Horace Nye Home were in private ownership.
The argument that the Private homes do not accept Medicaid or Medicare is not necessarily true. Many private homes do accept this method of payment. The real issue is what percentage of the occupants are on Medicare/Medicaid? Another issue is people that are in the "Medicaid Pending" status when trying to find a home for a loved one. Most private homes will accept you if you have enough funds to pay privately for six months. Some Nursing homes that are having no difficulty filling their beds require patients to be able to pay privately for a year or more.
Privately paying residents pay more for their care than Medicaid pays for the same care. This is the reason as to why "Private" run Nursing Homes can turn a profit, and Public Nursing Homes operate in the red. It's very simple, if 90% of your residents (average for the Horace Nye) are Medicaid, your operation will not turn a profit. So what's the solution? Obviously you try to recruit as many "Private Pay" or insured residents as you can to fill the beds, as this is where they will make money.

Simply put, a business valuation is the formal process of determining what your business is worth.
Business valuers are accredited individuals, generally university trained with formal accounting training and experience who help come up with a value on your business by analysing your P&L's, business model and business systems to determine a value.
Business valuations can be determined using a variety of valuation methodologies.
Your business valuer will use their expert knowledge to choose the correct valuation methodology for your business.
Valuator has a team of experienced valuation experts in Sydney who specialise in the analysis of a businesses value. If you want to sell your business or are using a valuation for a dispute or to find out what your business is worth, then Valuator can help you!
There are a variety of variables that we use to determine what your business is worth. Here is a list of some of the factors that we take into account in our valuation:
Generally we can perform a valuation if you think you need it for the following reasons: Curious about it's value, family matter, parternship issues, determine the value of your shares, divorce settlements, retirements planning and selling your business.
Generally we can complete a smaller business in 2-4 weeks. Medium business in 4-6 weeks and large business in 6-8 weeks. This can be sped up if all the relevant financial documents are organised.
Based in Sydney we travel to all locations both inner city and outer Sydney.
Having served multiple clients in Melbourne before as well as large national clients with multi city locations, if you are in Melbourne be assured we will be able to help you determine your companies true value.
If you are looking for a business valuer in Brisbane we can also help. We have had clients in Brisbane, the Gold coast, Townsville and Mackay.
Call Us at our Sydney office on (02) 46310184 to discuss your business valuation requirements. We provide business valuation services in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
There are four commonly used valuation methodologies used for a small businesss valuation:
When you buy a business you are also buying the potential profits that it may generate in the future. Future maintainable earnings is the most common small business valuation methodology and looks at the adjusted earnings of a business and the rate of return buyers can expect from the business by capitalising it's future earnings. Return on investment is the level of risk a purchaser is willing to take on the business based on a combination of macro and micro factors. Generally when people buy businesses they seek a 20% – 100% return on investment. How it works The future earnings of the business can be calculated by taking the average profit over the last three years adjusting for one off expenses any irregular payments. Now find the rate of return that you are willing to risk (i.e. 40%) Then divide net provide by the rate of return and then multiply by 100. E.g. a business makes $100,000 per year. You want a rate of return of 40% therefore you divide 100,000/40 = 2,500. Then multiply by 100 equals $250,000.
You may apply an earnings multiple to your business. For example take your EBIT (Earnings before interest and tax) and multiply it by 2. How It Works So for our business that is making $100,000 per year. We multiple that by our earnings multiple (2) and we get a valuation of $200,000. The multiple will be dependent on various factors including the net profit, industry, growth potential and other macro factors. Multiples can range from 0.5 to 6 depending on the business.
You may search for similar sales of your business to find comparable sales data. How It Works By looking at what other businesses similar to what yours sold for you can get a gauge of what your business is worth.
You may make your valuation based on the assets of the business. An asset valuation takes all the assets of the company and then subtracts liabilities. This method is normally used when the company is going to be shut down. How It Works
NOTE: good will is not included in an asset valuation. The assumption is the business will not be trading in the future.

Below is the poem entitled A Young Know-It-All which was written by poet
Martin. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Drjim Martin
I once was young and knew it all.
For advice on no one would I call.
There was little in life that I feared,
In fact, the authorities were often, by me, jeered.
As teen years approached this attitude prevailed.
It mattered not to have tried and failed.
Challenges were met with little concern.
I, obviously, had very much to learn.
As a young adult to a crossroad I came.
I could no longer pursue fortune or fame.
Life was not always going to be
Only that which I had chosen to see.
In turning from my youthful, pride-filled way
I heard one smarter than I say,
"There is always someone smarter than you,
His advice, therefore, you should eagerly pursue."

BRYAN, Texas Police and fire investigators are searching for clues after two people were found dead inside the burned out remains of a Bryan home.
The fire broke out at a home on Vinewood Drive near Elmwood around 4:30 Monday morning. The flames were so intense, they held firefighters at bay for a while.
"The primary search was hindered a little bit by heavy fire conditions. When they were able to resume that search is when they were able to find a victim," said Gerald Burnett with the Bryan Fire Department.
Fire crews found the second body a short time later. Both so badly burned, police said dental records will be their best hope of identifying them.
The burned-out home left investigators with plenty of questions, but the answers won't come easily.
"The investigation is going to take some time," said Burnett. "We've got a lot of damage to the structure. A lot of unknowns at this time."
Early Monday morning, police were searching for a silver, 4-door 2011 Ford Edge. Kelley McKethan with the Bryan Police Department wouldn't say who owned the vehicle, but KBTX sources confirmed it's owned by the same person who owns the now burned-down home.
McKethan said they could use help from the public to find the vehicle.
"Do not approach the vehicle, but do contact the Bryan Police Department," said McKethan.
Bryan police and fire officials are working with the state fire marshal's office to figure out what caused the deadly fire, and why two people had to die.
If you know anything, you're asked to call the Bryan Police Department at 979-361-3888.
