Musec Earns Win as Jays' Baseball Downs Southern Illinois, 5-3
OMAHA, Neb. - Senior Nick Musec nabbed his first win of the season as Creighton Baseball defeated Southern Illinois, 5-3, on Saturday, April 20.
Creighton moved to 21-9 with the win and 7-4 in Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) play. Southern Illinois, meanwhile, fell to 18-20 overall and 2-9 in the MVC.
Musec tied a career-high with five strikeouts while working 5.1 innings to improve to 1-4 on the season. He was followed by Mark Lukowski, Mark Winkelman and Bryan Sova as the Jays closed out the win in the ninth to earn his second save of the year.
The Salukis trailed 5-3 with runners at the corners and no outs in the ninth when Sova was called on to pitch. Troggio sacrificed the tying run, Welch, to second base. Jones followed with a liner that appeared to be in the gap in right-center, however senior Brennan Murphy came racing in for the catch and the second out. After an intentional walk to Montgomery, Sova got Ryan Casillas to fly out to right on a 3-2 pitch to end the game.
Musec escaped early damage by wiggling out of a bases-loaded jam in the first. After to allow hits to the first two, Musec struck out Jones, but gave up an RBI single and a walk to load the bases. Following a visit to the mound from head coach Ed Servais, the Missouri native induced another strikeout and a grounder to limit the damage to just one run.
Creighton responded with three runs, highlighted by a bases-loaded walk to Reagan Fowler and a two-run single from Lamb, in the home half of the first to quickly claim a 3-1 lead.
The Jays tacked on a run in the second inning on junior Federico Castagnini's sacrifice fly, and later extended the lead to 5-2 in the fifth inning on junior Mike Gerber's run-scoring single.
SIU's Derek Fogel fell to 0-2 with the loss, allowing five runs (four earned) before exiting with the bases loaded with one out in the fifth.
Creighton's offense was led by a 3-for-4 day at the plate by Gerber, while Castagnini , Kevin Lamb and Brennan Murphy each had two hits.
SIU got two hits each from Jake Welch, Rennie Troggio, Austin Montgomery and Cody Daily.
The Bluejays go for the series sweep on Sunday, April 21 at 4:07 p.m. The contest can be seen nationally on ESPNU, Dari Nowkhah and Danny Graves have the call.

Easter Sunday is the time to shed the darker, drabber colors of winter and mourning and to bring out the brighter colors that celebrate the arrival of spring and the rebirth of hope on the earth. Traditionally, Easter Sunday follows Holy Week, that period of time when most Protestants and Catholics solemnly remember the days immediately preceding and including the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. His death occurred sometime between A.D. 26 and A.D. 36.
Many churches decorate their sanctuaries with purple during Lent, the 40 days of circumspection and penance that lead up to Easter Sunday. Purple signifies both suffering and royalty. Jesus Christ claimed to be the son of God, and He suffered greatly before his crucifixion on a Roman cross. Some churches also add a cross draped with red to symbolize the shedding of blood and black to represent the death of the Christ. However, on Easter Sunday, life springs forth once more as the church celebrates the resurrection of the world's Savior. Black and red are replaced by white and gold, the colors of purity, new life, celebration and wealth. Churches may bedeck the drab and lifeless cross with fresh, colorful flowers, creating a huge, living visual.
Congregants traditionally join the celebratory spirit of the day by donning their best and brightest colors. Light shades of pink, green, yellow and lavender are popular for little girls' Easter dresses. Other fun pastels include light shades of orange, turquoise and coral. Lace, frills, sashes and hats are added as worshippers gather to honor the King of Kings who has risen from the grave and thus offered the promise of heaven to all who follow Him. Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, is definitely the high point of celebration for Christians around the world.
For those who ignore religious imagery, Easter is still a time to officially pack away the winter colors and get out the brighter, happier colors of spring. However, both the annual Easter egg hunt and the charming chocolate Easter bunny are drawn from pagan religious traditions. It is believed that these symbols arose from the spring festivals that honored the German goddess of fertility, Ostara. Both eggs and bunnies represent reproduction and new life.
Coloring eggs gives them added attention. The most popular dye colors are light blue, pinkish light purple and light green. Each year the White House joins in the celebration with a children's Easter egg roll on the official lawn on Easter Monday. Simple dye kits make egg coloring a fun activity for any family, not just the rich and famous. A variation on the egg hunt is to buy plastic colored eggs and fill them with candies and small treats.
For women, spring is also an opportunity to celebrate. This year's new popular color is Tangerine Tango, but almost any shade of orange will make a bright, cheerful statement. Big, bold blocks of solid colors are showing up in skirts, dresses and tops. Large geometric prints and even loud florals are going to be hanging on the racks. Whether you celebrate Easter for its religious significance or as simply the right time to change out your winter wardrobe, get ready to pull out the brighter colors and enjoy more time in the great outdoors. Celebrating Easter means spring is here!

Friday, March 20, 2009The Bisons tennis team won three of six singles matches, but lost the doubles point in a 4-3 loss at Florida Gulf Coast March 19.
Daniel Hangstefer, James Murrell and Mario Hernandez all won singles matches.
"This was another tough conference match," said Bisons coach Andrew Harris. "The guys did better in singles today by finishing off their matches in singles by winning in straight sets. Unfortunately the doubles was not what we were looking for and we were in too much of a whole to dig ourselves out of."

Action Pack
TOTALLY '80s Sing-Along Dance Party
|The Action Pack
|Madonna, A-Ha, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and More!!
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
The Action Pack turns the movie theater into the best dance club in town with a music video dance party on the BIG screen!
The 1980s was the decade that gave us Michael Jackson, Madonna AND Prince. That power trio alone would be enough of a gift to mankind from any ten year period of time, but the '80s didn't stop there.
The '80s was also the decade that brought us new wave acts like Depeche Mode and Erasure. It gave us glam rock from Warrant and Guns 'n Roses. It gave birth to party rock from the J. Geils Band and Huey Lewis. And, of course, party pop from Tiffany and Belinda Carlisle, and old school hip hop.
In short, the 1980s were totally radical.
But the single greatest gift the 1980s gave the world is what we're here to celebrate with the Totally '80s Sing-Along Dance Party – the music video. There will never be another form of entertainment greater than the music video, because those three and a half minutes of pop music linked to crazy imagery is nothing short of pure perfection, and seeing them on the movie screen with a thumping digital movie theater sound system blasting the music throughout the theater is one of the best experiences you can have in life.
Of course, most nights when you come to the Alamo Drafthouse they ask you to be quiet during the movie. They prefer it if you stay seated in your chair. And you would probably get in trouble if you stood up, walked down to the front of the theater, and started dancing like a crazy person right in front of the screen.
But when we invite the Action Pack to take over the theater with their trademarked Sing-Along Dance Parties we aren't having just any night at the Alamo Drafthouse.
Because while on most nights the Alamo strives to be the best movie theater in town, at Sing-Along Dance Parties we transform our auditoriums into the greatest dance club in your neighborhood, complete with fully VJed sets of the greatest music videos ever made plus free props included with your ticket that make the party come to life.
Just as during normal movie screenings at the Alamo, you can still reserve your seat ahead of time, and your waiter will still continue to bring you any sort of food or drink that you need directly to your table all throughout the party, so coming out to the theater for a dance party is like getting your own private table at some swanky bottle service club in Manhattan, except that at the Alamo you don't have to worry about some weird bouncer giving you the evil eye whenever you want to get up and come back to your table.
Want to go dance in front of the screen? Do it! Prefer sitting in your chair holding your fist to your chest and belting out all of the lyrics to your favorite Whitney Houston song? We totally feel you, and would love to join in on that.
Our VJs build a new show for every edition of the Totally '80s Sing-Along Dance Party, so you can come back over and over again and never have the same experience twice.
Want to request a special theme for one week of the show, or find out if your favorite song could be making an appearance in tonight's set list? Follow The Action Pack on Twitter and become their friend on Facebook and they'll let you in on all the secrets!
Then come out to the movie theater ready to have the best dance party of your life. Every single time. And make sure you get there early, too, because we'll have singing contests, prop bags full of balloons, streamers and glow sticks, inflatable air guitars and much, much more. Every Totally '80s Sing-Along is the most radical party we can throw, and you won't want to miss a single one.

On Monday, we asked which new Fall broadcast TV show would be canceled first, and today we go the other direction.
Which new Fall broadcast TV show will get an order for a full season first?
For the uninitiated, rookie shows are usually given an order for 13 episodes as an initial commitment, and after a certain level of early success, are typically given an order for an additional 9 episodes to complete a "full" season of 22 episodes (although slight variations from the magic 22 are not uncommon).
These orders typically happen anytime from the start of the broadcast season until about Thanksgiving, but could conceivably go even later than that, for shows that don't premiere next week. The busiest period for these announcements is typically mid to late October.
I believe that Fox's New Girl (on 9/28/11) was the first rookie last season to get a full season order, but as always, am open to correction!
What's your guess for this season?
While this poll allows just one answer per person, feel free to expand your choices in the comments.

Just in case there was any doubt in your mind, the eighties are officially unstoppable. In addition to influencing the fashion world (strong shoulders, round sunglasses, and MC Hammer-inspired style, we're talking about you), the decade's taking control of the beauty realm too. The evidence is in the eye shadow, if you will, as fashion-forward celebs like Kate Moss and Mischa Barton have started experimenting with an edgy, super smoky, futuristic punk look.
Mastering winged eye makeup is a wise move for these always-on-the-cusp ladies. The spring runways showed numerous variations of this beauty trend, including a particularly notable statement look at Valentino, created by the cosmetics queen Pat McGrath. You'd better perfect your technique as well, because in addition to being a big spring trend, we can confidently say that you'll be Currently Channeling: Debbie Harry, David Bowie, and Boy George through 2010. The reason for our certainty is simple, the fashion pack can't stop chattering about the Marc Jacobs Fall 09 beauty look-a high-drama version of the eighties eye, of course! Make sure you check out all of the backstage images from Jacobs' show, as the maquillage master himself, Francisco Nars, created each of the 60+ looks.
Though this is definitely statement makeup, there is a way to wear these eighties eyes off the runway. If you're keen on trying the dramatic look, use a slightly matte dark gray shadow, per Mischa Barton and Alice Dellal. Barton, seen here at the G-Star Raw show in February, is a huge proponent of this trend. She usually concentrates all the shadow on her lids, extending just beyond the outer corners to a slight Cleopatra-like point, and leaves her brow bones bare. Alice Dellal showed off a similar, slightly more polished version of this look at a Milan Fashion Week party. We love the combination of soft dove gray shadow on the brow and inner corners, plus shaded charcoal shadow on the lid. The way the darker shadow tapers to a dramatic point is not only lovely, it's also perfect for a fun night out.
Of course, there are less extreme versions of the eighties eye, as Kate Moss, Kristen Stewart, and Eva Green illustrate beautifully. For a Fendi party during Paris Fashion Week, Moss turned up with her take on the glam beauty trend. Her neutral shadow has just a hint of sparkle: it's modern, yet very wearable. Eva Green, one of our favorite French actresses, also displayed subtler eyes at the Christian Dior Fall 09 show in Paris earlier this month. Instead of going for heavy lower liner, like Barton and Dellal, Green took the sophisticated route and opted for a lighter touch. If you're still a bit hesitant about this trend, do take a peek at the way Kristen Stewart wore her makeup for the Twilight premiere in London. Her eye shadow has a similar extended point, but by choosing silvery hues instead of dark gray, the overall effect is light and fresh.
When translating this look yourself, please remember that you should keep the rest of your face basically bare. Natural lips and soft blush are the best choice; otherwise you risk looking a bit like a drag queen. At Marc Jacobs, makeup artists used NARS' Cream Eye Shadow ($21) in Zardoz and NARS' Duo Eye Shadow ($32) in Pandora: both are perfect for a strong look. If you don't own a single shadow that would work for this trend, there are several great options available. Try Sephora's Smoky Eyes Palette ($38) or Max Factor's MAXeye Shadow 3-Color Shadow ($5) in Precious Metals, as both are outfitted with a range of key shades. Newbies, we suggest trying Stila's Smoky Eye Talking Palette ($40) in The Grays or The Bronzes, as both feature wonderfully blendable shadows in very flattering tones.

National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC)
Clean School Bus
- Clean School Bus
- Ports & Marine
- Clean Construction
- SmartWay
- Clean Agriculture
Clean School Bus is a national, innovative program designed to help communities reduce emissions from older diesel school buses. School districts, fleet owners and operators, bus drivers, parents and students all have a role in helping to reduce diesel emissions from school buses.
School buses travel about four billion miles each year, and more than 25 million American students ride a school bus every day. These buses provide the safest transportation for getting children to and from school.
While all new buses must meet EPA's tighter emission standards, many older school buses continue to emit harmful diesel exhaust. Diesel exhaust has a negative impact on human health in general, and especially on children because they have a faster breathing rate than adults and their lungs are not yet fully developed.
There are a variety of clean diesel strategies for making school buses a cleaner way for children to get to school. One of the easiest ways to reduce school bus emissions and save money is to reduce idling. Another effective method is to replace the oldest school buses in the fleet.
In addition, EPA offers funding for diesel emission reduction programs. In January 2011, President Obama signed legislation reauthorizing DERA funding to eligible entities for projects that reduce emissions from existing diesel engines. Appropriations are determined by Congress on an annual basis.
Clean School Bus publications can be ordered or downloaded, including "The Magic School Bus Gets Cleaned Up", and the Spanish version "El Autobus Mágico Necesita Una Limpieza", special-edition children's books created by EPA in partnership with Scholastic, Inc.

|Meth Labs Lead to Arrest of Vilas Man
|Written by WCSO Press Release
|Friday, 25 January 2013 17:52
On Thursday January 24th, 2013, Detectives from the Watauga County Sheriff's Office Special Operations Unit discovered numerous remnants of several clandestine methamphetamine laboratories at a home in Vilas, NC. Detectives were investigating the report of a possible methamphetamine
laboratory located at 1297 NC 194 South Vilas, NC when officers found items lying in the yard. These items were consistent with the "Shake and Bake" method of manufacturing methamphetamine and items were also found in two different burn piles where the suspects were attempting to destroy any evidence of the crime. Detectives secured and served a search warrant on the residence and found other items inside the trailer that were also consistent with the manufacture of methamphetamine.
The suspect, Charles Kevin Baird, 44, of the residence was arrested and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. Besides Baird living in the home, there was also an elderly family member as well as two small children under the age of five. Baird is currently being held in the Watauga County Jail on a $100,000.00 bond.
Found outside the home, along the creek banks, as well as in the yard were five hydrogen chloride (HCL) gas generators which prove there were at least five different clandestine methamphetamine laboratories at the residence at one time or another, although these generators are normally used more than once.

While an oral supplement may contain a nutritious blend of vitamins and minerals, most fail to offer the body the same benefits as eating real foods with identical nutrients. Your body is intended to process whole foods into their components and then use these raw materials to build new cells, power reactions and perform other vital tasks within your anatomy. Ordinary dietary supplements typically contain ingredients that were manufactured in a laboratory, and these synthetic or modified nutrients are not optimal for your body.
New Chapter Organics takes a different approach to dietary supplement formulation that can make all the difference when it comes to the effectiveness of your daily vitamin. All of the New Chapter Organics products contain whole foods that your body can naturally break down and utilize. What's more, the New Chapter Organics formulas use organic foods, which have been clinically shown to be 20 to 30 percent more dense in nutrients than those grown with the use of chemical pesticides. Shop the collection to find the ideal supplement for your health and beauty needs!

Comments about Yamaha YMP-204M Series Marching F Mellophone:
I myself have been playing a Dynasty for the past year, but lately I've been playing on a Yamaha, and I must say, it's an excellent horn. It sounds great, looks great, and is fairly easy to play, at least as easy as playing a mellophone can get anyway. The only complaint I'd have is that it's a bit uneven when marching with it. The horn itself is rather light compared to others, but the bell is large and weighs more, pulling the front end down. Other than that, it's an excellent product.
Comments about Yamaha YMP-204M Series Marching F Mellophone:

As the global marketplace changes, successfully investing for growth in emerging markets requires a more evolved approach.
Our worldview can be distilled to Five Essential Truths that underpin Calamos Emerging Markets Fund.
Calamos Emerging Markets Fund is a sub-fund of Calamos Global Funds PLC, an investment company with variable capital incorporated with limited liability in Ireland (registered number 444463), and is authorised and regulated by the Irish Financial Regulator as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities ("UCITS").View Full Disclosure »
An Active Approach to Emerging Markets Investing
Emerging markets are in the midst of economic and demographic shifts that offer exciting potential for investors. More than 2.6 billion middle-class consumers in the EMs provide unprecedented opportunities for companies and investors alike.
Global consumer trends are changing as the emerging market middle class grows. This creates opportunities for forward-looking companies and investors.
Although the EM middle class has already embraced everything from soft drinks to smartphones to cars, the opportunities for companies—and investors—are just beginning. This means that even if economic data tapers over the short term, the prospects for long-term investors are exciting and sustainable.
We believe that successful asset allocations reflect long-term growth themes. The demographic and economic trends in the emerging markets have gained impressive momentum, which looks poised to continue. Investors seeking to benefit from the seismic shift in global growth drivers should revisit their allocation to emerging markets.
"We believe successful asset allocation strategies should reflect the expanding importance of emerging markets. Yet, data suggest that many investors may be missing the potential investment opportunity afforded by emerging markets. The information shown here may serve as a starting point for an investor seeking to access emerging market growth potential in a globally oriented, long-term portfolio. Of course, individuals' allocations will vary based on risk tolerance and time horizon.
We focus on what a company does and where it earns its revenues, not where it is headquartered. Calamos Emerging Markets Fund participates in EM opportunities by investing in:
Click on the map below to learn more about our approach.
Demographics and economic fundamentals make the long-term case for emerging market allocations. Still, the risks of EMs may be higher than in developed markets. At Calamos, we address these risks through an active, multipronged approach.
Because our participation in emerging markets is based on secular growth themes, we have more opportunities to choose among—and more ways to manage risks—versus funds that constrained by where a company is headquartered.
At Calamos, we have used convertible securities for more than 35 years to help manage the downside volatility in the equity markets. Convertible securities combine attributes of stocks and fixed income securities.
Calamos Emerging Markets Fund has delivered its returns with less risk, as measured by a number of statistics.
"You just can't think about what is going to happen today or tomorrow. You have to look through the near-term volatility and think longer-term," says John P. Calamos Sr.
Because the investments in emerging markets are underpinned by long-term secular themes that look positioned to gain in force, we believe now represents a timely opportunity for investors and their financial advisors to discuss the role of emerging markets within asset allocation. Moreover, key valuation metrics support the long-term secular framework for growth.
Of course, every long-term position starts with decisive action, so now is the time to consider your first step.
Is it possible to participate in emerging markets without taking undue risk? According to The Calamos Doctrine, the answer is "absolutely."
This school of thought represents our belief that emerging markets investing doesn't have to be nerve-wracking. To the contrary, an insightful, actively managed approach can successfully deliver upside potential while providing downside resilience.
Our investment teams have managed money through good times and bad times, carefully guiding portfolios under widely varying conditions. This experience has informed the team's investment decisions and helped them deliver long-term performance, frequently outperforming the market during downturns.
Led by a highly experienced portfolio management team, the Calamos Emerging Markets Fund already has demonstrated a
strong performance track record. Applying our knowledge of growth investing to the emerging markets, we have
established a three-year performance history
that has earned the fund a five-star rating* from Morningstar.

|New East King Street Lights 'Shorted"
|Written by Gary Childers
|Wednesday, 18 July 2012 14:57
Have you wondered why the street lights on the new section of 421 from Forest Hills Drive to Howard Street are not as tall on the north side of the street? Town Council does and they know what it's going to take to fix the problem but they're having trouble understanding
why the Town has to pay extra money to for it. During Tuesday night's meeting at the Agricultural Services Center Public works director, Blake Brown, explained that the lights on the north side of the road had to be moved back from their originally planned location due to being too close to AT&T's underground duct banks. This move caused the street lights to be too close to the power lines so their poles had to be shortened. Mr. Brown further explained that to lower the lights on the south side of the road to match the others will take an additional $31,000 beyond the $711,000 the project has cost to this point. Several members of the Town Council struggled to understand why the Town should pay the cost for this correction when none of the engineers from NCDOT or AT&T involved with planning the road project let them know that the duck banks were going to cause a problem with the planned street light installation. After discussing options they could explore to keep from having to pay the extra costs with the Town's attorney, including the possibility of legal action, Council moved to discuss their options further in closed session during their upcoming Thursday evening meeting.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Associated Press
By Susan Belasco
When Harriet Beecher Stowe died in 1896 at the age of 85, an obituary published on July 2 in The New York Times declared that Stowe's death was "one of the closing leaves in an era of our century." Remembered primarily for her blockbuster novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin'' (1852) and its role as one of the causes of the Civil War, Stowe was among our first celebrity authors and one of the most famous people of 19th-century America. She was the author of more than two dozen books, including novels, works for children, short story collections, books of essays, a book of poetry and a travel narrative, as well as a prolific contributor to both newspapers and magazines.
Born in Litchfield, Conn., in 1811 to Roxana Foote Beecher, the well-educated and artistic granddaughter of a Revolutionary War general, and Lyman Beecher, an evangelical Presbyterian minister with a strong interest in Puritan theology, Stowe was raised in a household in which religion, reading and writing were considered a vital part of childhood. At the age of 9, she won a school prize for an essay. Years after Stowe was an established writer with an international reputation, she recalled that her father's pleasure on that day was the proudest moment of her life.
After Lyman Beecher moved to Cincinnati in 1832 to take a position as the head of a theological seminary, both Stowe and her sister Catharine joined him with plans to start a school. There Stowe published her first book, "Primary Geography for Children." She also became involved in the Semicolon Club, a literary society in which members shared their writing. A story that Stowe first presented to the club won a prize in a local contest and was later published in The Western Monthly Magazine. She continued to sharpen her skills as a writer, publishing a second book, "The Mayflower," a collection of stories and sketches, and frequently contributing to magazines.
Becoming an Activist
In 1836, she married Calvin Stowe, a teacher at her father's seminary, and for the next several years, Stowe was busy with her growing family. After the Stowes moved to Brunswick, Me., in 1850, however, Stowe began to consider writing about slavery. The passage of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 that made all citizens responsible for upholding the institution of slavery turned her into an activist. With the encouragement of her siblings, she published "The Freeman's Dream," a parable in which a farmer fails to help a runaway slave and is condemned by God at judgment day.
Uncle Tom's Cabin
That sketch paved the way for the first installments of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," envisioned by Stowe as a three- or four-part story for The National Era, an abolitionist newspaper. The story, which began running on June 5, 1851, was so popular that readers wrote to the newspaper begging for more, and the circulation of The Era doubled. When "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published as a novel in the spring of 1852, it instantly became a bestseller and was also quickly adapted for the stage. Performances of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" toured the Northeast, and Uncle Tom, Eliza, Little Eva, and Topsy became characters everyone knew. Stowe found herself an international celebrity—but not a rich one. Little thinking that her book would be so successful, Stowe had refused a contract with her publisher that involved some risk and instead had signed a standard contract that gave her just 10 percent of the sales of the book.
Now regarded as a major player in the abolition movement, Stowe accepted an invitation from antislavery societies to make appearances in Great Britain and to accept a formal antislavery petition signed by more than 500,000 British women. Eager to counter criticism from southern Americans that she knew little of the slavery system, Stowe published "A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin," a collection of documentary sources about slavery, just before she sailed for England in 1853. She was enthusiastically received wherever she travelled and met a number of famous British writers, including Charles Dickens. She later published a book about her travels, "Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands.
In 1856, Stowe published another book about slavery, "Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp," and undertook a second journey to Europe where she met Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Lady Byron, the widow of the famous poet. Although she participated in antislavery meetings, she was also eager to establish a British copyright for her new book. In the absence of international copyright laws, she had earned nothing from the huge sales of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" abroad. Now savvy about business matters, Stowe was determined to reap the financial rewards that had eluded her with the publication of "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
By the late 1850s, Stowe was firmly established as a major American writer. She was writing regularly for The Atlantic Monthly and she turned increasingly to domestic themes and stories, often drawing on childhood memories. While she continued to help with the antislavery cause, on the eve of the Civil War, she published "The Minister's Wooing," a historical novel set in Puritan New England. During the war, she met with President Abraham Lincoln, encouraging him to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. According to family accounts, Lincoln greeted Stowe by saying that she was the "little lady who started the big war," but no historical record confirms this conversation.
After the War
In the aftermath of the war, Stowe turned resolutely to New England society and history for her subject matter, publishing novels, collections of stories, poems, as well as "The American Woman's Home," a guide to middle-class domestic life, co-written with her sister Catharine. But her career underwent an abrupt change after a book about her friend, "Lady Byron Vindicated" (1870), shocked British and American audiences with her frankness about Byron's incestuous relationship with his half-sister. Even worse, her famous brother, the minister Henry Ward Beecher, had a scandalous affair with one of the members of his congregation. In the aftermath, Stowe mostly retreated from public life and lived at her homes in the Nook Farm area of Hartford, Conn., and in Mandarin, Fla. She was honored by her publisher Houghton, Mifflin and Company with a large birthday party in 1882, in which over 200 guests attended, including many major living writers of the 19th century, such as Oliver Wendell Holmes and John Greenleaf Whittier. Stowe died on July 1, 1896, surrounded by her surviving family members.
Stowe Scholarship
In the years immediately following her death, Harriet Beecher Stowe and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" largely faded from view. But negative racial stereotypes of Uncle Tom and her other characters lived on in adaptations of the novel in minstrel shows, early movies, and on stage. During World War II, Helen Hayes starred in "Harriet," an historical drama about Stowe's life that mixed fact with fictional characters from "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Just as the Civil Rights movement was beginning to emerge in the early 1960s, James Baldwin published a scathing commentary on "Uncle Tom's Cabin," calling it a sentimental novel that had engrained racism into white American consciousness.
In the 1970s, the rise of the feminist movement and the resulting feminist criticism that developed in American colleges and universities recovered Stowe and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for the classroom and as the subject for scholars, who probed earlier assumptions about race, gender and sentimentality. New projects, including an annotated "Uncle Tom's Cabin," edited by Henry Louis Gates, one of the foremost African American scholars in the United States; a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography by Joan Hedrick; and a major electronic archive, Uncle Tom's Cabin and American Culture, directed by Stephen Railton and housed at the University of Virginia, reveal the extent to which Harriet Beecher Stowe and her controversial novel are a vital—and certainly complex—part of American history and literature.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Portland City Council has voted 6 to 3 to sell Congress Sale Park.
The City Council will sell two-thirds of the park to Rockbridge Capital, the developer that is renovating the former Eastland Hotel.
The votes comes after more than three hours of public comment last Monday, where opposition to the proposal outweighed support 2-1. Councilors postponed the vote until this week's meeting.
The meeting was disrupted before councilors were able to take up the issue. A woman stood and said she wanted to purchase Congress Square with money the city owes her from a lawsuit. When she refused to be quiet, police handcuffed her and escorted her from the building.
Councilors debated the issue for more than two hours before voting to pass the order with amendments. Those amendments include a provision that requires approval for Rockbridge's final plan from the Historic Preservation Board and the Planning Board before the sale is finalized. Rockbridge will also pay for the removal of the historic clock that is currently in the square.

CANTON With the expectation of an increase in its sales tax, St. Lawrence County has shelved the idea of raising its bed tax, but some legislators believe enforcement of the law should be reviewed for consistency.
Hurting for revenue, legislators last year talked about requesting home-rule legislation to increase the occupancy tax but tabled further discussion until they knew whether the state Legislature would approve a law allowing them to raise the sales tax. With that approval in hand, county legislators recently decided not even to talk about a bed tax hike.
Im not appointing a committee. Im happy to leave it on the table, said legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington. Its not something Im focused on.
In 1991, the county imposed a hotel and motel tax of 3 percent of the room rent. The preliminary discussion had been to raise the tax from 3 to 5 percent of the daily rental rate.
While a request for an increase is unlikely, how the tax is collected and from whom could be a topic of further discussion.
Legislator Donald A. Peck, R-Gouverneur, said it is not clear whether the tax applies when property owners rent rooms in private homes or if a summer place is leased to others.
For example, Mr. Peck said, he has heard a number of people are renting rooms and entire houses for the Bassmaster Elite Tournament Aug. 8 to 11 in Waddington.
I dont know who needs to pay and who doesnt, he said.
Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, said the law and how the tax is collected should be reviewed.
I think its very important we have controls so that laws in place are followed equally, he said. I think weve got to do things fairly.
Mr. Peck said he would prefer to turn over collection to the county Chamber of Commerce.
They seem to know all the mom-and-pop establishments and we dont, he said.

The United Nations: Why It's Time to Get Us Out
American founders advocated for a foreign policy of commerce with all nations and entangling alliances with none. Yet, for decades Congress has done the opposite, allowing the United Nations to have a voice in the everyday lives of Americans. What have we gotten in return? Further indebtedness, unconstitutional wars, and laws and regulations that run contrary to the American way of life.
Join John McManus for a local presentation on the United Nations and how it is time for the U.S. to leave the organization and govern the country in the best interest of all Americans.

WADDINGTON – The committee organizing events around the Bassmasters Elite tournament says the event could have an economic impact on the St. Lawrence River Valley of $1.5 million to $2 million.
This tournament could be the greatest tourism-generating event our area has ever seen, event coordinator Deanna Shampine said Thursday. It has the potential to draw thousands of tourists to St. Lawrence County.
The Bassmaster Elite Series gathers the worlds 100 best professional anglers to compete in eight tournaments in different locales throughout the year. The Bassmasters Elite Series St. Lawrence River Showdown will be Aug. 8 to 11.
The event will stretch through all public fishing areas, including rivers, creeks and canals connecting to the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. The tournament will go as far east as Eisenhower Lock, Massena.
Most anglers will most likely stay within 20 minutes of the launch point at Waddingtons Whittaker Park, Ms. Shampine said.
With a month between the previous tournament and three days of practice time, many anglers, their familes, television crews and Bassmasters staff could stay in the area before and after the tournament, Ms. Shampine said. Tournament host cities, villages and towns are required to have a festival leading up to the event, which could also generate revenue, she said.
Committee members said events could be held in conjunction with the tournament in Massena, Ogdensburg and areas in between to generate more revenue.
Make no mistake, we need the support of all the business in the area, Ogdensburg and Massena in particular, because they have to go through there to get here, committee member and St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce FishCap Coordinator Donald R. Meissner said.
The surrounding municipalities have already pledged their support, Mr. Meissner said. The committee is discussing how to get other towns and villages involved.
I think part of the advantage that we have being able to draw for Canada as well, Director of Events and Tourism Partnerships for Bassmster Michael Mulone said.
The committee is looking into installing a U.S. Customs checkpoint for Canadian boaters, Ms. Shampine said.
The $2 million figure doesnt say anything about the media component, said Mr. Mulone. Media outlets equate into advertising revenue. The event can serve as a calling card for people to learn about and seek out this destination. Its just like any other televised sporting event golf or even the Olympics. It would usually cost thousands of dollars to have that kind of national platform.
The committee hopes to raise at least $80,000 to hold the tournament, with a goal of $100,000. The cost will cover the $60,000 host fee, which the village of Waddington is contracted to pay, and other various expenses, Ms. Shampine said.
Most of that money will be generated through private and business donations and fundraisers, as many of the local sponsors cannot compete with big-name Bassmasters sponsors including Toyota Trucks, Bass Pro Shops, and Carhartt, Ms. Shampine said.
The biggest thing is that this is going to depend on the excitement and cooperation of both residents and business leaders from our different communities to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and turn into something that will just stand as the beginning of a lot of other things that can happen in the future, said Mr. Meissner.
We do this right, and its only the beginning because other organizations will follow.

Thompson Opening Some Eyes
"Shurna and Thompson both looked nice. They were the stand-outs of the non-guaranteed bunch. Thompson's shot fell more often by my rough tally (including a runner or two), and he looked nimbler away from the ball, while Shurna was more inclined to attack the basket and crammed a few slamjams in transition. Novak mostly deferred, but did drain one turn-around, fall-away, straight-on, buzzer-beating three from way downtown. That group was pretty fun when all the shooters were on the floor together."
I wasn't at camp yesterday, but I'm hearing that the Knicks are playing wait-and-see with Thompson, who I really like, before possibly bringing in depth at the wing. Shurna has been impressive as well and seems destined for Erie, but it's Thompson's development that has the Knicks intrigued. With Ronnie Brewer on pace to return, but who will be behind in his condition, there is a roster vacancy in the backcourt that Thompson can fill. Of course, in reading Seth's notes, Prigioni could get the major minutes with Kidd off the ball in Brewer's stead to start along with J.R. Smith, obviously.

CANTON Inaction may be the biggest form of action.
SUNY Canton College Council President Ronald M. ONeill has known for more than a year that he would have to start the search for a new president for his campus, but today he still waits for authorization from Albany to begin.
Our presidential search committee is still ready, willing and able to go ahead when we get the word from the chancellor, Mr. ONeill said. Were still waiting.
At the beginning of August, Joseph L. Kennedy stepped down after 19 years as SUNY Canton president, replaced in the interim by former Provost Carli C. Schiffner. Mr. ONeill said his request to start looking for a new president predated that event by almost a year.
Mr. ONeill said the chancellors office required SUNY Canton and nearby SUNY Potsdam to meet benchmarks for shared services before his campus would be allowed to begin its search.
Since we met those benchmarks, we were under the understanding that the chancellor would allow us to start our search, he said. Weve met our part of the bargain. I would expect SUNY and the trustees would meet their part.
Over the past year, the schools have aligned human resources, finance, accounting, purchasing, billing and budgeting services, largely under the auspices of joint Chief Financial Officer Natalie L. Higley
David D. Doyle, SUNY spokesman, said the chancellors office and board of trustees have remained engaged with SUNY Canton throughout the period.
The process outlined by the board of trustees required a report and recommendation by July 15 with a discussion at the December board meeting, he said. The process has included face-to-face and several follow-up meetings with each of the campuses. Next steps will be discussed in December.
As early as October 2011, Mr. ONeill had organized a search committee, requesting Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher authorize the search and appoint a liaison to that committee.
However, more than a year later, the committee is left wondering when its search will begin.
Mr. ONeill said the only response he has received from his requests to start the search came in a November 2011 letter from Ms. Zimpher, saying it was premature to form a search committee and begin the search.
For the SUNY Canton College Council, the delay raises questions about whether SUNY Central will let the campus retain its own president. Earlier this year, a report from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education said sharing presidencies between SUNY campuses could place the schools accreditation at risk.
The commissions standards state that each accredited institution should have a chief executive officer whose primary responsibility is to lead the institution toward the achievement of its goals and with responsibility for administration of the institution.
If SUNY Canton loses its president, the impact could be felt beyond its accreditation. Fundraising almost certainly would take a hit, said David M. Gerlach, vice president for advancement.
It would be a significant hurdle, he said. When Dr. Kennedy retired, we had a lot of push-back and concern. It would be hard for me to know how severe the effect would be.
SUNY Central did not respond to calls for comment Wednesday.

MADRID A Madrid woman barricaded herself inside her home with three children Friday night, prompting state police to close Route 310 and bring in a negotiating team.
State police did not release the names of the people involved or the address where the apparent standoff occurred. The road was reopened at 10:30 p.m. after five hours.
At least one trooper with a rifle, two canine units and negotiators from Watertown passed through the roadblock at Route 310 and Buffham Road, about 1 mile south of the scene.
West Potsdam and Madrid volunteer fire departments were called to assist state police by diverting traffic. North of the scene, Route 310 was blocked at Route 345 to the north of the scene.
West Potsdam First Assistant Fire Chief Jerry A. Dibble said firefighters were called to close the road at 5:55 p.m. Traffic was redirected around the 2.5-mile stretch of Route 310 via Buffham Road.
Police had not released a report as of late Friday, but dispatch reports and one trooper at the scene said the incident involved a woman who had barricaded herself in her house with her three children.
