Cheeseburgers, Beer, and Catfish
Knoxville in recent American literature
by Jack Neely
Without much trying to, Knoxville has bred several novelists, and you write what you know, so you write about Knoxville. Cormac McCarthy's latest, The Road , includes a novel description of Knoxville in which everybody in town is dead.
Knoxville-based novels are nothing new. What's new is that in the last couple of years, non-Knoxvillians—a couple of them very prominent non-Knoxvillians—have also chosen Knoxville as a setting.
Patricia Cornwell, who placed a Knoxville scene in her locally inspired 1994 bestselling mystery, The Body Farm , returned again to a greater degree in her new novel, At Risk .
Serialized in the New York Times Magazine a few months ago, it concerns Massachusetts cops attending the forensics academy here, becoming intrigued with the 20-year-old murder of a Sequoyah Hills dowager at her riverfront home.
There's not much local color in the book, which seems pretty thin all around. But what's there is mostly accurate, reflecting the fact that the author has spent some time here.
There are references to the Old City, specifically Tonic and Barley's. But it's regrettable that the Knoxville feature described most fondly is the Tennessee Grill: "Like the other night at the Tennessee Grill, the two of them watching the sun set over the river, a special evening of big cheeseburgers and beer, her aching with the hope that maybe he was as attracted to her as she was to him."
No deathless prose, but that scene of a couple of Yankee cops mating over cheeseburgers and beer is the sort of thing a restaurateur would hang on the wall. Except that the place closed a few months ago, shortly before the book's publication.
The book also mentions an East Bearden jazz club: characters "dressed like preppies, listening to jazz at Forty-Six-Twenty, drinking fruit-infused martinis." It closed a few weeks ago.
It's an old Knoxville tradition; as soon as a good local place gets national attention, we shut it down cold. However, word has it that the unusual strip-mall-basement-club will reopen under new management in October.
Volunteer Landing is apparently Cornwell's favorite non-Body-Farm part of town: in The Body Farm , detective Kaye Scarpetta dines at Calhoun's, an agreeable experience except for the sea of orange that reminds her of prisonwear in Attica.
Marianne Wiggins was once best known as the wife of the elusive and theologically brazen novelist Salman Rushdie. That's all over now, and she's more recently known as author of bestsellers like John Dollar . Her last novel, published in 2003 and now out in paperback, is called Evidence of Things Unseen .
I've just gotten around to it, partly through readers' recommendations. Some think it's a great book; it was nominated for several awards. It's about a simple guy named Fos who works in a photographic studio in downtown Knoxville in the 1920s, and his new bride brought home from the North Carolina coast. Over the next 20-odd years, they witness some earth-shaking events here.
It seems forced to me, at least in spots. But it points out what an unlikely nexus this region was, from the Scopes Trial to TVA to the Manhattan Project. We may prefer to think of Knoxville as remote, but the city was central to much of the moral and technological drama of the American 20th century.
Wiggins' Knoxville suggests the kind of funhouse perspective tourists get after one good visit to a new place, when destinations stubbornly turn out to be in the opposite direction from where you reckon.
Upon bringing Opal home, Fos offers some geographic advice. "River runs from north to south," Fos advises. "Railroad runs from east to west. Keep those things in mind and you won't get lost."
But you probably will. At Knoxville, the river runs roughly east to west, and the railroads run all over the place, as they did then, including north to south.
It's also hazardous for a writer to write historically about a place without regular access to local libraries. In Wiggins' 1920s Knoxville, there's also a place called "Old Town," which I've never heard of; the Old City wasn't known by that name until the 1980s. On UT's campus, there's a "Volunteer Avenue"; UT didn't expand to create Volunteer Boulevard until the 1960s.
Her book did remind me, though, of the unmet local potential of catfish. It could be our local delicacy. People do catch them in the river, though they're warned against actually ingesting those; last weekend my cousin and I watched an impressive squadron of catfish patrolling the duck pond in Fountain City. People even fish for them there. I love to buy catfish fresh and cook it at home.
But one local restaurant after another disappoints me with their articulations. Order catfish, and it most often turns out to be a dry golden shaving prepared more for crunch than flavor.
Recently I ordered a catfish luncheon special at a venerable eatery with a reputation for posh preparation. The fish arrived heavily breaded and fried, sliced in narrow strips—to maximize its breaded and fried aspects. It could as easily have been chicken. Maybe it was.
To me, Wiggins' passage about catfish makes me think she's been eavesdropping on my personal fantasies.
"The river was so thick with catfish it was said that you could stroll across it from the eastern [sic] shore to Knoxville City on their backs. It was said there are more catfish in the Tennessee than there are fish in all the oceans of the world. More catfish in Knox County than there are Christians, more catfish on supper plates than flies. More catfish inside Knox County bellies than dreams inside Knox County heads…."
She continues. "Every Knoxville woman had her way of doin [sic] catfish same as every Ozark woman had a way of doin hock an' greens…every man in Knoxville seemed to have but one opinion that he held above all others. And that was how to cook a catfish. There were those who'd argue to the death that no self-respecting man would batter cats with anything other than a bridal veil of stoneground wheat flour from mother Dixie with a zest of salt and at most a dash of pepper the way the Bible says Christ had it done on that occasion of the loaves and fishes. Others swore by cornmeal, some were cayenne-ites and some, god bless their fundamental souls, faced the fire with nothing but their faith in catfish same as every naked soul must face the fires of eternity with nothing but man's natural juices."
Her assumptions are unproveable, but it's my favorite passage in the book. Even though I broil catfish with soy sauce, olive oil and chopped garlic and chili powder and jalapenos. I often eat alone.

A 36-year-old man died Tuesday after an altercation at an Eagan apartment.
According to the Eagan Police Department, officers were dispatched to an apartment building on the 4500 block of Slater Road.
The caller, 28-year-old Samuel Walter Peterson, told the dispatcher he had been fighting with the man, who was unresponsive at the time of the call.
The victim, Peterson's roommate, died at the scene.
Peterson, and two others were questioned by police.
Peterson was taken into custody and is being held at the Dakota County Jail.
At this point, the victim's name has not been released.
Police are investigating this case as a homicide, and believe alcohol was a factor.

I don't know how to create two sets of pagination links one view.
Background Information
I have a situation where I have parent / child tables that I have to display on the same view - perhaps in two different sections. Each section needs its own set of pagination links. The contents (and therefore, pagination links) in section 2 will change depending on what is selected in the parent section / section 1.
The parent is what I call "subcategories" and the child table is "products". SO when the user comes to the first page, all categories are shown. But once they select a specific category, I want to take them to this view that I'm discussing which will show any subcategories... and any products.
Possible Solution
I'm thinking that I need the following methods in my controller:
public function getsubcategories($categoryID)
1. find data yu need to display
2. set up pagination object
3. use add_js method to add ajax call to a method "get_products_in_category"
Ajax method to be invoked on document.ready and will return product data.
4. load view.
public function get_products_in_cateogry($categoryID)
1. look up products in category
2. build html to display products.
3. return string with all html to display product information
??? can i create another pagination object here???
If you have any suggestions on what's wrong with my idea / how I can accomplish this, I'd really appreciate it
Thank you.
Edit 1
While waiting for a response, i went ahead and tried a little test... and it doesn't seem to be working. I still have the issue where the pagination links displayed in section 2 actually manipulates the data in section 1. I'm going to move post this question in stackoverflow. Thank you.

The question of whether Xenoblade will sell well in the west has been cropping up a lot since it was announced for an April 2012 release. Personally, I think it'll do just fine. Take a look at sales figures for recent JRPGs. The numbers below are all from VGChartz, which I believe to be accurate.
Japan - 1,054,200
Europe - 305,480
Keep in mind with this one, Monster Hunter is one of the biggest properties in the Japanese market, while being relatively unheard of in the west. This is a fringe case, where the Japanese market outsold both the US and Europe combined; even so, the 750,000+ units sold worldwide more than make up for translation and localization costs, thus turning a profit. To not publish this game outside of Japan would have been a very clear mistake. Let's continue with some other titles.
Japan - 114,074
Europe - 87,167
This is the second-highest selling JRPG on the Wii, according to VGChartz's search sorted by popularity. When sorted by total sales (worldwide), it comes in fourth, beneath a Pokemon game (and, come on, of course that sold gangbusters) and a Dragon Quest game.
This is where we start to see the trend for most lesser-known JRPG titles. Not only does the US market outsell the Japanese market, it even beats out both other regions combined. Go ahead and look at some other small-name releases out there, like Rune Factory: Frontier or Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon.
On the total sales side of things, next up is Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
Japan - 239,801
Europe - 126
This is, again, kind of a big-name title in Japan, so it's not surprising to see it sell well in the Japanese market. It's also anime disguised as a JRPG, so it's not surprising to see it do poorly elsewhere. This does, however, continue to show another trend worth noting; JRPGs do very, very poorly in Europe.
Even so, a wide North American release selling more than 70% of the units sold in Japan is pretty good. I'd be willing to bet that covered the costs of localization and then some.
Oh, and those Pokemon numbers I mentioned earlier?
Japan - 303,646
Europe - 292,220
Once again, this shows the same market trends as before; European sales being poor (in comparison to other markets), the US dominating the market when it wants to, and the Japanese market not caring about anything that isn't Monster Hunter.
Honestly, I'm just surprised it took Nintendo this long to announce Xenoblade for North American release. They must know these numbers, which means someone has to have noticed the same things I'm pointing out. The fact that it was translated and localized for the English language at all means that Nintendo would have been foolhardy to not bring it over State-side, given that a European-only release could very easily be a waste of money.
With proper marketing and a quality product, and we know that Xenoblade is the latter from European and Japanese publications' reviews, the North American market is pretty easy to sell to. My only worry is that it won't sell well because of poor marketing and, let's be honest, a less-than-ideal release window, and then someone's going to point at that and say, "WELL, GUESS WE SHOULDN'T BRING OVER THESE OTHER WELL-RECEIVED RPGs, EITHER!"
Those're my thoughts on it, anyway. I'm curious to hear other peoples' thoughts on this.

Hi WRXSA,
Here's a few images and videos from the club's trip down to Philip Island.
I think it's fair to say we were all floored by how good a track PI was, and how fantastic hosts the Vic WRX boys were. Absolutely amazing experience and safe to say i think we'll be eager to come back next time.
Also massive thanks must go out to Damien HIrst for organising this event and accomodation for the WRXSA club.

Insurance Loss
Building Coverage
The principal buildings on campus are insured for their replacement value. Buildings which would not be repaired or replaced in the event of loss are insured for the actual cash (replacement cost less depreciation)
All contents (University owned as well as those on loan to Purdue) are insured for their replacement value, as follows:
- While on campus property or with in 1,000 feet thereof.
- While off campus for service or repair. Coverage applies both while in transit and at the off-site location.
- While in transit to or from Purdue --- for other than service or repair-- within the Continental United States, Puerto Rico or Canada. Coverage Limits is $1 million per shipment.
Note:There is no coverage for property shipped by mail.
All buildings and contents are insured under a very broad policy which includes the perils of fire, lightning, flood, earthquake, wind, explosion, water damage, collapse, vandalism, theft, and accidental damage.
Deductibles apply on a per-occurrence basis to losses resulting from theft, vandalism, flood and earthquake. Repair or replacement cost within these deductibles is the responsibility of the controlling budgetary unit.
Loss Reporting
Loss or damage at any University location, as well as damage which occurs to contents away from owned premises, should be reported to Tom Adams in Safety and Security at the West Lafayette Campus. That individual will arrange for inspection of the damage, will inform Risk Management, and will coordinate repair/replacement and the filing of claims. Tom may be contacted at 496-7922 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Theft or Vandalism
Loss involving theft or vandalism must be reported immediately to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction.
Property Located Off Campus
A Property Management Form 12 must be completed and on file for items removed from campus premises in order for coverage to be in force. If a department wishes coverage to be in place for property located in another country other than the Continental United States, Puerto Rico or Canada, a premium will be charged to the account listed on the Form 12.
Property Not Owned But In Purdue Care, Custody, or Control
In order for coverage to be in force for property not owned by the University but in our care, custody and control, either a gift and loan report or lease agreement must be on file.
Items Valued At Less than $2,500
Items valued at less than $2,500 are no longer inventoried by Property Management; therefore, there will be no Purdue identification number to refer in the event of loss. Therefore, departments will need to retain proof of purchase of acquisition for the life of such items. Acceptable documentation would include purchase orders, invoice vouchers, gift and loan reports, and lease agreements.

By Carmen L. GleasonAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 2007 When Army Sgt. Brian Horn deployed to Iraq in 2003, his unit was spearheading the war effort. He and his men were ahead of supply lines, and after seven months in country, they were still sleeping on the ground.
When mail and care packages started coming from loved ones at home, it had a huge impact on morale. But not all troops received the small tokens that did so much to boost the spirits of others. Brian, looking out for the welfare of his comrades, asked his parents to send packages that he could distribute to those who hadn't received anything. From that request, Any Soldier Inc. was born.
The Horns began a Web site in August 2003 as a way to let friends and neighbors in LaPlata, Md., participate in showing their support to Brian's unit. News of the effort spread, and a year later more military units had been adopted, with more than 1,000 troops volunteering to distribute care packages to their fellow servicemembers.
The family's site became so popular that, by August 2005, it had broadened to cover all the services with domain names and specific versions of the Web site for each. Since its inception, the organization has helped more than 700,000 servicemembers.
Any Soldier Inc. became a team member of America Supports You in May 2006. America Supports You is a Department of Defense program highlighting home front groups across the nation that are providing a variety of services and support to troops and their families.
"Being an America Supports You member has had a positive impact on our organization," Brian said. "Even if there are only a handful of people who are directed to the site, then it is successful. The relationship with America Supports You is priceless."
The Web site provides statistics tracking the number of contacts they have from each service in addition to ranks and gender. A message board is also provided so recipients can make special requests, post photos and messages or express appreciation to those who send items.
"Please let it be known that we thank you for all your wonderful support, gifts and words of encouragement," said Marine Staff Sgt. L.A. Hayes on the site.
Since his unit's deployment, he has periodically posted messages updating readers on his troops. "Most of the Marines on our team are 'kids' to you and I," Hayes said. "But, God bless them, they are doing great work in a mature and forthright manner. They would all make you proud; … they sure make me proud."
"This has become my life," said Marty Horn, the organization's president. "It's wonderful to know that we're helping so many people."
Even though Brian has left the Army to further his education, Marty said that he will continue to dedicate himself to the support of troops.
"Morale -- without it we will lose," he said. "There's no way you can complete a mission without it. It helps with survival. Let's give our troops a reason to come home."

Dan Gates
still on the quest for a perfect pack
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I feel bad giving this pack a low rating. I'm sure it is perfect for the task it was made for. I wanted a killer alpine pack that would carry my splitboard A-frame style. However the sewn ski loops are too narrow for a splitboard or any ski wider than about 135 at the tails. I'll have to send this one back even though it looks like such a great alpine climbing pack.
Richard Possin
Hey Dan, I'm a split boarder and I just bought the Arcteryx Khamski for touring. Maybe that would be more to your liking?
Clinton Decker
Hey Dan,
Also a split-rider, I am a huge fan of the BD Outlaw for a touring day pack. 32L does the job. The side compression straps work for carrying your board split, and the back straps handle the load in ride mode. I love the helmet holder and it's nice to have the AvaLung option.
I also carry the BD Anarchist for bigger trips, when carrying a longer rope, or overnights. It's also solid and the side loops do fit a board in split mode. Complaints would be the lack of the helmet holder and no solid-board carrying option.
Great little crag pack
Super clean, super simple and a great price. Carries great and holds enough for a day crag pack. Not as many features as the Trion Guide but can't beat the price for this euro style backpack.

Ayanbadejo disputes Suggs' 'linebacker grease' story
Behind the scenes tour of New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS -- Brendon Ayanbadejo can be the target of ridicule by some of his "brothers" in the Ravens locker room because of his Herculean physique, clothing, or his public support for same-sex marriage, among other reasons.
Now it's for his pregame routine. Linebacker Terrell Suggs was asked who has the strangest preparation, and he didn't hesitate with his answer.
"Brandon Ayanbadejo, easy. I'm not sure if this is camera-ready. It involves massage-coconut oil or something and he stands in the middle of the locker room in his boy shorts or boxer briefs, I don't know what they are, and he oils himself down," Suggs said. "We try not to look. If you're going to the trainer or you just happen to bypass, it's kind of uncomfortable, but he's been doing it for four years now, but I don't want to stay we got used it."
When told of Suggs' remarks, Ayanbadejo, a reserve linebacker and key special-teams player, cracked into a wide grin.
"He's telling jokes. You already know its Terrell Suggs. Ninety-nine percent of what Terrell Suggs gives you is not going to be accurate information. So you need to find the one bit of truth," Ayanbadejo said.
"The one bit of truth is every linebacker puts on LBG before the game, linebacker grease. And everywhere I've been I've always but on linebacker grease. But somehow I became a Raven and we all put on LBG together. We have a trainer who puts it on. It's not like we put it on each other. We don't lube each other up."

Deputy Secretary of Defense
Air Force Association Business Session
September 18, 1995
All of us in the Department of Defense, as you know, appreciate the strong and
continuous support that's been provided by the Air Force Association over
nearly 50 years now.
We have just seen once again, as you would expect, a stellar performance by
the United States Air Force. When President Clinton and Secretary Perry called
on our pilots -- Air Force, Navy, and Marines -- in Bosnia to deliver, they
sure delivered. One of the stories that's not yet come out adequately from
this recent engagement in Bosnia is how incredibly powerful and accurate this
campaign has been. You have seen the major results that we have achieved in
terms of the cease-fire and having the Serbs come to meet our demands, and
we're hoping that will continue. The decision was made to suspend the bombing
and, of course, now we've extended it for 72 hours to continue working on the
peace process.
But there's another part of the story that's incredibly important as well.
That is the bravery, professionalism and performance of our pilots. We have
used nothing but precision munitions and the accuracy has been phenomenal. I
wish I could bring some of the pictures to show you. You wouldn't see many
holes in the ground; the holes are in the targets. The accuracy is so great
that we're beyond selecting targets -- they are now selecting aim points within
targets. We've taken down their communications and done a number of other
important things that I won't go into except to say that it's really been quite
a remarkable campaign.
And, of course, we can continue to count on the Air Force leadership Secretary Widnall, General Fogleman, and all the senior officers and civilians
in the Air Force.
I want to particularly commend General Fogleman for his leadership and for the
new video on leadership which he has provided and required for all Air Force
officers, senior NCOs and senior civilians. It is terrific. It has a terrific
message -- the high standards to which we all hold our military officers and
they continue to hold themselves. So I think this is a very, very important
message. It's a best seller in the Pentagon, and I'm hoping you will see it as
When I came to this position, the Secretary asked me to take on three major
priorities. First, is readiness. Right now, the forces are ready around the
world. We all pay a lot of attention to readiness, making sure we're ready, and
making sure we're measuring it accurately, and making sure we have everything
we need to be ready.
Secondly, quality of life. We cannot have the forces we need if we do not
attend to the quality of those forces -- their training, of course; their
equipment; but also their compensation. We're working to make sure that we get
and support every pay raise allowed in the law. Their housing: we have
initiatives now on the Hill than we'll be able to get passed on housing. We
have the Marsh Panel, which is looking at ways to improve quality of life, and
you'll hear a report from Jack and his colleagues very soon, and we're eager to
hear that. Also, we want to protect what people deserve. The President and
the Secretary and I have strongly opposed the proposal on the Hill to change
the way you calculate retirement for active duty people and reduce the
retirement of people already on active duty. We think that's breaking faith,
we think it's wrong, and I think we will prevail and will not have to deal
further with that issue in the near term. It is critically important that we
put that to bed once and for all.
Let me turn now to the topic I want to spend some time on with you this
afternoon, and that is modernization.
If you step back, you recognize, of course, that as a society we are going
through an enormous debate about our institutions -- the institutions that have
provided us with good capability over the last many years, that were conceived
of in the '50s and '60s and some into the '70s. Many of them have outlived
their usefulness because the situation has changed, the world has changed.
Hence, we have debates on health care and on welfare reform and on
international trade and on the international monetary system and a whole set of
other such issues. This is important because it reflects that society is
changing. The answers to these questions are not easy, but it is very clear
that we do need change.
The Department of Defense has to be thought of in that context as well. We
are in a situation where we need to change, where the threat has changed, where
the world has changed -- high rates of innovation, a global economy, changes in
priorities on the part of our citizens. So we as an institution have to take
up that challenge and also find ways to change. It won't be easy. It's easy
enough to know you have to change, but the critical issue, of course, is to
find out where it is you want to go and how you want to change.
I'm reminded of the time Justice Holmes got on a train and discovered he had
lost his ticket. Fortunately, the conductor recognized him and said, "Oh,
don't worry, Mr. Justice, I'm sure when you find your ticket you will send it
in to us." He said, "The issue, Mr. Conductor, is not the ticket. It's where
am I going?"
So we have to decide where it is we're going. But I will assure you that if
I were to tell you today where we want to be in 20 years, there's only one
thing you would know, and that is that I would be wrong.
So we have to build in a force that, in fact, has enhanced combat capability,
that operates efficiently, and most importantly, is innovative so it is
flexible and able to meet new requirements.
Let me talk about each of these. First of all, we need new combat capability.
We need a force which is flexible and responsive and reliable; a force that can
deal with unknown situations, that can respond to change. That means, as we
look at our modernization program, for example, we have to buy C-17s to replace
C-141s, and to ensure that we have the lift we need in a newly configured
force, which is largely based in the continental United States. We need F-22s,
for their stealthiness and maneuverability, in order to assure our air
dominance. Beyond that, we are going to need the Joint Advanced Strike
Technologies, which will provide us with common platforms. I'm told we're
getting as much as 80 to 85 percent commonality across the services. And,
we'll rely heavily on new manufacturing techniques, computer-aided design, new
composites, alloys, and so on. So we have to look to advanced technologies to
provide us what we need.
And we need to modernize our ground forces. Modernizing the ground forces is
important because we want to make sure we equip our people so that when they
have to fight, they are able to fight well, and then come home. This is homely
-- tactical communications gear, trucks, ammunition, armored personnel carriers
and so on. The warfighting CINCs were in town a couple of weeks ago, and the
principal message they left with us was, "Don't forget the small procurements.
Don't forget the things that make a difference in combat capability."
Frankly, we need these kinds of capabilities more than we need additional
B-2s. I, and the Secretary, would love to have more B-2s, but, given the
budgets that we have, we want to make sure that the forces we have are well
rounded and fully capable. We can't afford more B-2s. That's also true in our
major shipbuilding program. It will stress both new submarines and new surface
combatants. All of this new capability has to be joint, because we will be
operating in joint operations in the future in almost every case. So as we ask
the services to take on new responsibilities, and as they come forward and
develop superb new systems such as the F-22, we want to continually remind them
that we want these systems to operate in a joint environment.
Jointness takes a lot of training, and it takes a lot of cooperation and a lot
of trust among the services. That's not easy, but it is critically important.
Because modernization doesn't just mean new weapons. It means joint vision.
It means joint doctrine. It means joint planning. It means joint training.
Also, we need to make sure that the systems that we provide work together. If
you had the privilege, as I have had, to sit through the two-hour briefing by
the investigative team of the Scott O'Grady shootdown, there are a couple of
things that come to mind. First and foremost, of course, the enormous bravery
of that young pilot and all the people who rescued him; and the superb training
they had had, so that when the time came, they could be successful.
The second thing that jumps out at you is we only missed getting Scott O'Grady
out of there before he was shot down by a minute. The problem is we have too
many systems that aren't integrated. They aren't fused in the context in which
they ought to be fused, so that we're delivering to the individual on the
battlefield, whether he's the battalion commander or the fighter pilot, what
they need in a timely way. Our intell organization are, unfortunately, still
too "stovepiped," and we need to work on that.
Finally, in terms of combat capability, there's one last criterion I want to
mention. That is making sure that we are dealing with the real threat out
there. Some of those threats, as you know, will be unknown. We're going to
have to define them as we go forward. But we want to be very careful that we
simply don't look at mirror images of ourselves.
The Secretary asked the Defense Science Board, in their summer study, to take
on the following question: If you were an enemy of the United States in the
next century, what would you do? As you would expect, they do not buy TACAIR
because they can't compete with us on TACAIR or with stealthy submarines or
stealthy aircraft. What do they buy? They buy information for information
warfare; they buy weapons of mass destruction; they buy the capability so they
can hide much of what they have; they look to psychological warfare; and they
look to drones; and they look to advanced business practices that they can
adapt and innovate in their own system.
So the challenge to us from this very interesting study is that we need to
keep looking at who's out there, what it is that potential threat is going to
be, and making sure that we're not mesmerized by our own capabilities, but
rather in a situation where, in point of fact, we will be responsive to the
needs of the future.
A second element that I have mentioned in this regard is efficiency. We need
efficiency, of course, because we need the money. We need it for our
modernization program. We will be nearly doubling our modernization program
account from 1996 through 2001 -- from $39 billion to $67 billion. Some of
that, of course, is reflected in a reallocation of funds within the program.
But some of that, of course, has to come from savings. It comes from civilian
personnel reductions -- which will save us about $25 to $30 billion. It comes
from acquisition reform, and at the end of the month, we will be publishing the
final rules that implement the Federal Acquisition and Streamlining Act. We
can buy from the private sector the way we ought to. And we will continue
cutting back on the MilSpecs and the tons and tons of regulations that we have
had in the past.
We will also get savings from base closures -- about $56 billion. We are now
finished with so-called BRAC '95 -- the last of the BRACs under the current
law. You will not see, in my judgment, another BRAC law in this decade. I
anticipate one in the next decade. I hope so, because I think we're going to
need it. But we're going to have reap the savings from base-closing, and we're
already doing that.
But in the context of saving from BRAC, let me raise also a larger issue. It
has to do with privatization and outsourcing. We have had a remarkable change
in the United States in the last 15 years of so. Companies large and small
have learned that there's a whole set of capabilities that they need to
perform, but are not central to their business, not part of their core
competency. Whether it's automatic data processing or logistics or whatever it
might be, they've learned that a whole new industry has grown up that will
provide them with these capabilities, rather than try to duplicate it
themselves. You know the list -- the FedEx's, the EDS's, the Sprints, and all
the rest.
So companies have stripped away these functions they used to provide for
themselves and turned to these new competitive companies to provide them for
them. Why do they do that? First and foremost, because it isn't their
business, and they want to concentrate on their business. Secondly, because of
the competitive environment, they know that, with a captive institution inside
a large company, they will not come up with the innovations in the future that
other more focused companies will. By outsourcing these non-core capabilities,
not only do companies benefit from the innovations, but both in the short run
and in the long run they are going to save money.
I think the Department of Defense ought to do the same thing. We have had,
for some time now, a proposal in the BRAC Commission report -- and in the
report by the Roles and Missions Commission, which I chaired -- that stresses
moving the Department more aggressively towards privatization. We intend to do
that. We're going to do it in a great many areas. Certainly in terms of some
of our maintenance functions, but also in terms of materiel management, in
terms of base commercial activities, in terms of housing and education and
training -- in terms of a whole array of functions which are important to us,
but do not contribute directly to where the senior management ought to focus
its attention, and that is, delivering capability and support for the joint
operations commander, for that warfighter in the field.
So we are standing up a significant new effort in terms of outsourcing, and
you will hear more about that in the future. It is consistent with what I've
been talking about here in terms of our modernization goals.
A third part of the modernization effort that I want to talk about for a few
minutes is innovation. Innovation is critically important if we are going to
have a new, reliable and flexible organization that can respond to change.
First of all, we need to build change into the Department. By that I mean
evolving the Department so it's specifically responsive to change and adaptive
to change. Let me give you a couple of illustrations.
First, information technology runs through a generation about every three
years. We need to adapt it, not fight it. It's driven by the private sector,
not by us. So we need to reach out, adapt to what's going on, and use it for
our own purposes.
We have to face the question of information warfare. It is a major new threat
in a vast number of areas inside our domain. We have to figure out how to deal
with this threat, and to do it both offensively and defensively. The answers
will not be easy, and by definition they will need to be innovative. We are
moving rapidly to heavy use of simulation for training. We have to understand
where it works and where it doesn't work and where we can make real tradeoffs
with that simulation in terms of other forms of training which are much more
Finally, we have to understand, better than we do today, the outcomes of these
new technologies that we have -- for example, stealth and precision. I
mentioned Bosnia earlier, and what a magnificent job our pilots have done. We
focused on precision munitions. They're hitting the targets, it's highly
effective, and it has major implications for us as we go forward, and we need
to understand those implications. Recognize that this theater is not the
desert, this is a cloudy, rainy, forest-covered area where you're seeking out
targets in what are far from the best of conditions.
Stealth and precision munitions have succeeded in Bosnia, nonetheless. But
the question is, how can we make even better use of our new technologies as
threats change. We look to the Joint Requirements Oversight Committee chaired by the Vice Chairman, Admiral Owens -- to help us, through the Services
who sit on his committee, sort out how to use new technologies to deal with new
and unexpected threats as they emerge.
Secondly, we really need to look outside DoD for innovations that will help
us. I'm reminded of the story about the woman who got a little close to the
Grand Canyon and fell over the edge. Fortunately, on the way down she was able
to grab onto a tree limb. She started yelling, "Help, Help. Is there anybody
up there?" And then a voice said, "Yes. I'm God. I'm up here." She said,
"Oh, good. Can you help me?" He said, "Don't worry, just let go." And she
said, "Is anybody else up there?"
When it comes to modernization, DoD is not out there all by itself. We're
not the dominant buyer in this economy any more. We are not creating new
industries as we were in the '50s, '60s and '70s. We're going to have to go
out and find out what other people do in the commercial world. As I travel
around and talk to people in the Department, and they tell me where they have
been -- to this aerospace company or that aerospace company, which is very
important -- I ask them, have you been to MicroSoft? Have you been to
GenenTech, have you been to Novell? All too often the answer is, "No, we
haven't gotten to that yet." Again, I would submit to you, it is the
MicroSofts and the GenenTechs and the Novells, and many others out there who
don't do business with us directly, who aren't concerned with our problems, but
who are on the cutting edge of innovation and the cutting edge of change. And
we need to reach out, find out what they're doing, and again, bring that in so
we have a truly innovative organization for the future.
Finally, in this regard, we need to innovate our very approach to security
itself. We live, as you all know, in a new world, with large numbers of new
countries. All over the world people are struggling for democracy but against
significant odds with lots of turmoil, lots of civil strife, high rates of
inflation and other problems. We need to work with these countries. We need
to understand them. We need to try to make friends, and try to cooperate with
them. For example, 10 years ago the nation of Slovenia did not exist. Last
night, I talked to the Secretary, he was in Slovenia. Why? Because it is a
small, struggling nation in an important part of the world for us. We need to
work with the Slovenians of the world and develop better military-to-military
contacts and exchanges and joint military training exercises, and we are doing
We need other kinds of innovations in dealing with the world. The NATO
Partnership for Peace is just such an innovation -- working with a great many
different countries. We need to continue to pursue a pragmatic relationship
with the Russians. We need to work with them on reducing their nuclear
stockpile -- believe me, our program is a very good investment. And we need to
continue our constructive dialogue with the Chinese, in order to encourage them
to play a positive role in the region and in the larger world.
Secretary Perry held the first Ministerial of the Americas, in Williamsburg,
earlier this year with 35 democracies in attendance. Out of that came, among
other things, a series of pledges and principles about what it is we ought to
be doing -- which will encourage democracy, encourage civilian control over the
military, encourage civil rights and so on.
He also hosted representatives from 34 Asian-Pacific countries, territories or
areas for the VJ-Day commemorations in Hawaii. The same principle. These are
the kinds of things that we have to do in this new world. We call it defense
by other means. It doesn't substitute for traditional defense, but it does add
to it -- through cooperation, openness and understanding.
In conclusion, let me say that we are embarked on a major modernization
program. It will take several years -- indeed, the budget program goes out
into the next century. It will stress new capabilities; it will stress new
efficiencies; and most importantly, it will stress innovation. In many ways,
the Department is already on that task, and that's very good news. We have a
force that in the future will be capable and efficient, I think, and innovative
and responsive and joint. We want to continue to look for new ways to improve
and to make it even better.
It's one of the highest priorities I have as Deputy Secretary, to make certain
that our forces are ready and can be responsive to our changing needs. We know
that we can rely on you for your continued support, and we are grateful for
that support.
Thank you very much.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Education Commissioner Michael Williams says Texas' system for rating schools should rely in part on how well districts close achievement gaps between minority and white students.
He says that's "because it's just who we are as a state."
Williams said Monday that even as the number of black and Hispanic students statewide grows, they continue to struggle more than other kids on standardized tests.
He said the gap "is still larger than I think anybody would want it."
Schools and districts are now rated according to student performance on standardized tests.
Williams wants a new rating system based on test scores but also student progress, post-graduation preparedness and progress in closing gaps for minority and economically disadvantaged kids.
He said it's "a problem that is staring us in the face."

Not enough support for WI forest-blocking bill
MADISON, WI (AP)-- The author of a bill that would restrict public access to a northern Wisconsin mine site says he doesn't have the votes to pass it right now.
Senator Tom Tiffany, a Hazelhurst Republican, says the bill is meant to protect mine workers and regulators from protesters. Opponents counter the bill goes too far and punishes law-abiding hunters, hikers and anglers.
The bill was on the fast track but Republican Senate leaders chose not to include it on Tuesday's floor calendar.
Tiffany says members of his caucus want to ensure as much access as possible. He says he's trying to work out a compromise.

Brian Setzer Discusses Gear, Instrumental Album with Guitar Aficionado
Posted: October 12, 2011
King of rockabilly Brian Setzer recently chatted with Guitar Aficionado about his instrumental masterpiece Setzer Goes Instru-Mental and all the gear he used to record it.
"I didn't start off wanting to do a purely instrumental record," Setzer tells Guitar Aficionado. "When I started writing songs for this record, I quickly completed six or seven songs with vocals. All of a sudden, I started fooling around with the melody chords that became the foundation for my version of 'Blue Moon of Kentucky.'"
"Blue Moon of Kentucky" is the opening track on the album, which was released in April 2011. It is one of a handful of covers featured on the record, complementing Setzer's masterful rockabilly/jazz-infused originals.
Setzer recorded the tracks almost entirely on his signature model Gretsch and Gretsch Hot Rod guitar, and tells the magazine that the Gretsch tone can't be beat.
"For the rockin' stuff, I've never been able to beat that Gretsch tone," he told Guitar Aficionado. "I bought my first Gretsch 6120 when I was a kid. When I plugged it into my Bassman amp I went, 'There it is!' That was the sound I was looking for.'"

More Love for Setzer
Posted: June 3, 2011
After recently gracing the cover of Guitar Player, Gretsch signature artist Brian Setzer got some more coverage from Premier Guitar in their May issue. The feature story covered his bluegrass and rockabilly roots, his new album Setzer Goes Instru-MENTAL! and his love/hate relationship with vintage Gretsch guitars.
For instance, he dives into specifics about his longtime companion — a 50-plus-year-old Gretsch '59 6120.
"I bought it a long time ago from a guy on Long Island when I lived there, and incidentally it's a really good one," Setzer tells PG. "Guitarists tend to romanticize vintage instruments, but the old ones are really so hit-and-miss. I rate them 'Monday through Friday,' Monday being the worst. With a Monday guitar, it's like the guy working at the factory started the week with a hangover and a fight with his wife, which translated to a crummy instrument. With a Friday guitar, the guy was in a great mood and was pumped up for the weekend, so he makes a beautiful instrument. That '59 is definitely a Friday guitar—when it's in perfect working order, it plays and sounds incredible."

Boston Legal: Son of The Defender
(S03E18) This is why television was invented.
I hardly know where to begin. Let's start with Alan and his hilarious storyline. It was a great idea to separate Alan & Denny for this episode and "Mr Wisenheimers" (Spader) dynamite delivery provided some much needed comic relief. Also, this is the second episode in a row to start with women in their underwear. I hope it becomes a trend.
Now for the rest of the episode. For those of you who foolishly didn't watch, the biggest deal in tonight's episode was that actual footage of a very young William Shatner is used for a series of flashbacks. This footage comes from an episode of Playhouse 90 entitled The Defender, which also starred Ralph Bellamy as Shatner's father. If that title sounds familiar it's because the episode was eventually turned into a series starring E.G. Marshall and Robert Reed. I should note that Shatner did play a lawyer later on in a series called Man of the People, but the footage used for tonight's show was definitely from a live performance.
As I watched tonight's episode awash in goosebumps, I was reminded why I admired David E. Kelly aside from hooking up with Michelle Pfieffer. His brilliant understanding of the legal drama gives him the ability to take the genre in directions it has never gone before. It's nice to see that he still can do what he does best when he's not busy with garbage like The Wedding Belles.
In my expert opinion, this episode is the shining example of why Shatner is a great actor. Sure, he's become a caricature of Captain Kirk as well as himself, but there was a time when he was so damn engaging that you had to watch him when he was on the screen. Whenever my favorite Twilight Zone episode is on (Nick of Time with the devil head, not Nightmare at 20,000 Feet with the gremlin) I watch with bated breath. Shatner is the epitome of television acting. In the early days of live TV, he was one of the few actors who could utilize what he learned in the theater and make it work on the small screen.
I must admit that I was really caught off guard by how much of Denny Crane's character was revealed by the flashbacks. It was much more than a great gimmick. Watching those scenes, we all got to see what made Denny the lawyer he became and the enormous price he paid for it. The yearning that a young man has for his fathers approval is something every guy can identify with.
The cast was incredible throughout the episode. I have been a big fan of Stephen Lee's ever since he played Tom Arnold in that TV movie. James Keane is a welcome sight because I loved him so much on The Paper Chase (where he played a law student). I barely recognized Mike Hagerty without his beard and his performance was equally hilarious and heartbreaking.
In closing, I have to point the brilliant comedic talents of Mark Valley. I know he wants to be a leading man but watching him tonight made me long to see Keen Eddie again

Easter is coming up, which means it's time for another round of "what classic dishes can we recreate using Cadbury Creme Eggs?" This year, we've taken on the breakfast treat, eggs in toast. More
It's easy to taste a lot of bad (albeit bad but cute) chocolate confections around Easter. Here's one answer to the bad basket: the Florida-based confectionary Norman Love, who has a line of ganache filled chocolate eggs which actually taste as good as they look. More
The trouble with hot cross buns, at least in my experience, is they tend to not be very good. After finding sweet, sweet success using challah dough to make monkey bread, I realized that the water + yeast proofing technique used in challah dough, made for a fluffier, chewier bun than the scalded dairy technique I had tried before for other sweetened yeasted breads and this inspired me to play with the dough to make hot cross buns with the texture that I had been searching for. More
This week we're taking a look back at the sweets you made for Easter. With plenty of birds and bunnies and candy and chocolate, they were certainly dressed in their Easter best. More
Did you think we'd let another Easter pass without revisiting our favorite marshmallowy treat? Nay. Every year we love rolling, squishing, and cutting our Peeps into maki, securing them in Fruit Roll-Up bound hand rolls, and placing them majestically atop Rice Krispies to make Peep nigiri. More
Giant Peeps. Cute, or dangerous? More
These iced lemon cookies make a fun seasonal project or a pretty Easter dessert. More

We also have lemon desserts, Easter cookies, and, of course, a few adorable homemade Peeps. More
It's the one time of year when people seem to remember this grand old dame of cakes, and I'm taking full advantage. By sneaking it into breakfast. Scones are the obvious vehicle for the same flavors as the cake—ginger, raisins, and walnuts are already old hat—and they're even amenable to a little bit of icing without turning into a cupcake. More
Even though it's January, a sign of spring is always welcome. And these pretty little lighter-than-air eggs give us something to look forward to. Nothing more complex than marshmallows and decorating sugar, but they're worlds better than anything store-bought. More

When you reach a certain age, it begins. Those dreaded moments when you see some of your most beloved treats simply go to hell. Maybe the candy is half the size it used to be, looks different, or just doesn't taste the same. The fact is that at some point the companies decide to cut costs and it sucks. More
Calling all Krispy Kreme aficionados: the revered doughnut chain is throwing its hat, or rather its egg-shaped doughnuts, into the ring this Easter season with two glazed ovoid treats. But buyer beware—you need a seriously developed sweet tooth to appreciate these guys. More
Oh, Easter, the Halloween of the Spring, and our favorite excuse to dive deep into desserts! Here are 10 Easter-inspired sweets recipes to celebrate the season. More
I have both what some may call a "deaf ear" and a god-awful singing voice. When I was little this proved to be unfortunate because, until I was traumatized beyond ever humming a tune again, I really liked to sing. More
If you're planning to serve grilled or roasted lamb for Easter dinner, skip the neon green, store-bought mint jelly and whip up this simple homemade version. Mildly sweet and pleasingly tart, it bursts with fresh mint flavor. More

Judas play at St John's Church Enmore Green
Posted: February 28, 2014|
A PLAY telling the story of Judas Iscariot is to be performed in April at St John's Church, Enmore Green.
Mortal Flesh, written and directed by Myra Wood, presents a thoughtful view of the most despised figure in the Christian world and his act of betrayal.
The play, which runs from 24th to 26th April, follows the fortunes of Judas from the time when he flees his home in Judea to being chosen as one of the twelve apostles.
It covers Christ's ministry, the triumphant entrance into Jerusalem which triggered the beginnings of Judas's uncertainty as to Christ's Messianic status, and the petty arguments and disagreements that set him apart from the other disciples.
Tickets, at £8 for a reserved seat in the nave and £6 unreserved in the west gallery (accessed by a spiral staircase), are obtainable by sending a cheque made payable to St John's Church, Enmore Green to Jo Churchill, 6 Long Cross, Enmore Green, Shaftesbury SP7 8QP.
Please state which evening you wish to attend and whether you wish to have reserved or unreserved seats.
Parking will be in the Enmore Green community field on the Butts. Members of the Dorset Marshals will be on hand and a charge of £1 will be shared between the community field organization and the marshals.

If any fruit deserves a commemorative month, it's the blueberry. Luckily, that's already been determined. Officially, July is National Blueberry Month. All we have to do now is observe it.Blueberries are not only tasty, but also nutritious. They are high in antioxidants and sources of vitamins A and C and potassium. Blueberries are also low in fat. Though fresh blueberries are typically available from mid-April to October, the height of the harvest is in July. This year, celebrate the bounty of blueberries by buying a few pints of them. In addition to eating blueberries by the handful, try adding them to some new recipes. We've provided some suggestions to get you started. Blueberry Cheesecake for Calorie Counters 3 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs 2 containers (6 ounces each) low-fat vanilla yogurt 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1⁄2 cup egg substitute Blueberry Sauce (recipe at right) Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and side of a 9-inch pie plate with vegetable cooking spray. Sprinkle pie plate with graham cracker crumbs and tilt to coat evenly. Place a coffee filter or two layers of paper towels in a strainer. Stir one container of the yogurt and spoon it into the filter. Set it aside to drain, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a food processor, blend the remaining container of yogurt, cottage cheese, cream cheese and cornstarch until smooth. Add the eggs and pulse until combined. Carefully pour mixture into the crumb-coated pie plate and smooth the top. Bake until set in the center, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the Blueberry Sauce. When pie is set, spread the drained yogurt over the top; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Chill until cold. Serve with Blueberry Sauce. Makes 8 servings. Blueberry Sauce 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 2 tablespoons sugar (or granulated non-nutritive sweetener) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon water In a medium-size saucepan, over medium heat, stir the fresh or frozen blueberries with the sugar (or granulated non-nutritive sweetener), lemon juice and water until berries are soft, about 5 minutes. Chill. Source: U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council Blueberry and Citrus Sorbet Layer Cake 1⁄2 cup finely chopped walnuts 1⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons blueberry preserves or jam, divided 1 pint orange sorbet, slightly softened 1 pint lemon or other citrus sorbet, slightly softened 1 cup fresh blueberries Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch by 4 -inch loaf pan with a double layer of waxed paper, folding the paper to fit smoothly. In a small bowl, stir together walnuts and 1⁄4 cup of the blueberry preserves; set aside. Spoon orange sorbet into the lined pan, smoothing the top to make an even layer. Spread the reserved walnut-preserves mixture evenly over the orange sorbet. Spoon the lemon sorbet evenly over the preserves and smooth the top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Freeze several hours or overnight. Just before serving, in a medium bowl, stir remaining 2 tablespoons preserves until smooth; fold in fresh blueberries. Invert the cake onto a chilled serving plate. Remove the pan and waxed paper from cake. Spoon about one-fourth of the blueberry mixture down the center of the cake. Cut the cake into 8 (1-inch) slices. Serve on chilled dessert plates and top each slice with a spoonful of the remaining fresh berry mixture. Serve immediately. Makes 8 servings. Source: U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council Blueberry Dessert Pizza 1 (10-inch) flour tortilla 1⁄2 teaspoon butter, softened 3 teaspoons sugar, divided 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1⁄2 cup whipped cream cheese 1⁄2 cup fresh blueberries 1⁄2 cup mixed fruit (such as grape halves and mandarin oranges) Preheat oven to 400°F. Place tortilla on an ungreased baking sheet and spread with butter. In a cup, combine 1 teaspoon of the sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the tortilla. Bake tortilla until edges just begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes; remove and place on a serving plate. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar with the cream cheese. Spread evenly over the crisp tortilla. Arrange blueberries and other fruit on top. Cut in 4 wedges and serve immediately. Makes 2 servings. Source: U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council

Normally we'd dis a lady for getting with notorious Hollywood poon-hound and occasional actor, Wilmer Valderrama. But after Rihanna's recent disastrous and allegedly abusive relationship, we're all for her rebounding with Lindsay Lohan's ex-first love.
The pair was seen getting "pretty cosy [sic]" at Geisha House last Wednesday, says a spy. "They were chatting and laughing for ages. They looked pretty cosy and relaxed in each other's company. Wilmer was all charm and even had a bottle of champagne for Rihanna."
We'll overlook the fact that Wilm's bedded a bevy of Hollywood skanks and created one of the worst shows ever to grace basic cable (Yo Mamma!, obvs). As long as he avoids physical (and emotional) violence and jet skis and treats RiRi like a queen, we're game. Wilmer, make your move. [Mirror. Photo: GettyImages]
