A spirited Chattanooga attorney, Styles L. Hutchins was elected to represent Hamilton County in the 45th Tennessee General Assembly, 1887-1888. Hutchins and his two colleagues in the House, Monroe Gooden and Samuel McElwee, were the last African Americans to serve in the state legislature until A. W. Willis Jr. of Memphis took his seat in the House of Representatives in January 1965, nearly 80 years later.
Styles Linton Hutchins was born in 1852 in Lawrenceville, Georgia. He may have lied about his age to serve with the U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War. A June 1890 census record ("Special Schedule, Surviving Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, and Widows, Etc.") indicates that he was a private in "Company A, 15th U.S. Col." The 15th Infantry Regiment was organized at Nashville on December 1863. The unit was attached to the Post and District of Nashville, Department of the Cumberland, until August 1864; to the Post of Springfield, District of Nashville, until March 1865; and to the 5th Sub-District, District of Middle Tennessee, Department of the Cumberland, to April 1866. Hutchins' record shows him to have enlisted in 1864 and served for one year, until an unspecified date in 1865. He was, at most, 13 years old!
This unusual young man was the son of an unusual father: William Dougherty Hutchins was one of the very few free blacks who operated private businesses – in this case a barbershop – before the Civil War. The shop continued to be highly popular throughout the Reconstruction period. As author Carole Merritt explains, "There was a growing market of white men in post-Emancipation Atlanta who were accustomed to service by blacks," so it was customary for barbershops run by African Americans to cater to a white clientele, just as Sampson Keeble and others had discovered in Nashville. The teen-age Styles Hutchins (17) and his 19-year-old brother Alvin appeared in the 1870 census as barbers in their father's busy Atlanta shop.
One of the other barbers in Dougherty Hutchins' barbershop in the 1870s and early 1880s was a young man named Alonzo Herndon, a former slave from Social Circle, Georgia. Four years after Hutchins hired him as a journeyman barber, the 28-year-old Herndon opened his own shop in the Markham House Hotel. Undeterred by an 1896 fire that destroyed the hotel, he soon opened another, more stylish barbershop on Peachtree Street, featuring crystal chandeliers, gilt-framed mirrors, mahogany doors, and other elegant trappings. According to the New York World, it had a reputation "from Richmond all the way to Mobile as the best barbershop in the South." Not long after Herndon expanded his holdings to three shops employing 75 barbers, he opened an insurance business that eventually became Atlanta Life Insurance, then "the largest Negro stock company in the world," (Rabinowitz, 86) and still a thriving business today as Atlanta Life Financial Group. The Hutchins sons were fortunate to grow up in an environment that so fervently encouraged young black men to cultivate and market their talents.
Styles Hutchins was one of the first black graduates of Atlanta University, taking a teaching position for a short time and even serving briefly as the principal of Knox Institute in Athens, Georgia. After the bright youngster earned a law degree from the University of South Carolina Law School and was admitted to the South Carolina bar, Governor Wade Hampton (1876-1879) appointed him a trial justice in Richland County, a post he resigned in the face of Democratic violence during the next election.
Returning to Georgia, the 25-year-old Hutchins applied for admission to the Georgia bar. "I intend to practice law in this city," he declared. "I have been in good practice in the courts of South Carolina from the supreme court down, and in the United States circuit court. I have my diploma. I think I am capacitated to practice. . . . If I have to stand an examination, I am ready for it." (Atlanta Constitution, Nov. 4, 1877) In time Hutchins overcame a lackluster opposition from the legislature, largely with the support of James Banks, a young lawyer who had served on Hutchins' examination committee. Banks' lengthy statement to the court exemplified the changing sensibilities of a new generation:
It is a novel thing for a colored man to be admitted to practice law in Georgia. Many, however, have been admitted in other states, and I see from the papers that one was recently admitted in Alabama. I am proud to say such actions in southern states show a growing disposition to secure the colored man in the enjoyment of every legal right. Not in theory, but in fact. When this applicant was examined by me, I asked myself this question, which to some may seem an extreme view, but yet for me contains the true test. "Were Hutchins a white man, on this examination would I report in favor of his admission?" The character of his examination compelled an affirmative answer. It is, however, for your honor to decide, and I feel safe in saying that if he is entitled under his examination to be admitted, that your honor will not deny him the right on ac-of his color.
Styles Hutchins thus became not only the first African American attorney admitted to the Georgia bar but also the first to plead a case before a judge in that state. Several period newspaper reports also chronicle his interest and participation in local politics.
African American attorneys moved into roles in the Southern courts very slowly. The first recorded case argued by a black lawyer took place in Nashville in 1870. Although African American attorneys began to appear in the Nashville Criminal Court the following year, it would be nearly 1880 before a black attorney would argue a case in the Chancery Court. Atlanta was progressing even more slowly – Hutchins' earliest appearance in a Georgia court (the first for any African American lawyer in the state) was in 1877, the same year the Compromise of 1877 ended Congressional Reconstruction and put Rutherford B. Hayes in the White House.
In June 1878 Hutchins filed a case to test whether barbershops could operate on Sundays. (They could.) A year later he made headlines by shooting himself in the hand with a pistol. He seems to have made a quick recovery, however, and was soon back in the news with some belligerent comments about the imminent Congressional elections.
The 1880 census placed "Stiles" Hutchins in McIntosh County, Georgia, where he was working as an attorney. Now 28 years old, he was living in a boarding house with his new wife, Clara (33), also a Georgia native. Their marriage record lists her surname as "Harris," but an 1883 article in the Atlanta Constitution says she was "formerly Clara Thomas." Hutchins seems to have run afoul of the law during that period. Atlanta newspapers carried the story of his two-year prison term for, as one sardonic writer put it, "a too affectionate attachment to his clients' money."
By 1883 Hutchins had been released from prison and was living in Tennessee. According to a September 1883 news report in the Atlanta Constitution, he had recently filed suit to divorce Clara on two counts: the first was infidelity; the second, as the Constitution gleefully described it, was that she had "duped and inveigled him into marriage with her by representing herself as a bonafide and iron-clad divorced woman, when in truth and in fact she had not obtained a regulation yard-wide-and-all-wool divorce from her said first husband." Gossip from Chattanooga, passed along by the Constitution, suggested that he had met another woman there.
The failure of Styles Hutchins' first marriage presents an interesting question about the mother of the two Hutchins children. We know he was married to Clara from 1880 to 1883, and to a woman named Mattie from 1896 until his death in 1950. But Styles' daughter Viola was born in May 1887, and Styles Junior arrived in October 1893 – between the other two marriages. Who was their mother? Clara was out of the picture by then; Mattie, born in 1877, was too young to have been the children's mother. There are a few scattered clues to her identity, although they add yet another layer of confusion. Styles Junior's 1917 marriage application lists his mother's name as "Cora." Another source, the Biographical Directory of the Tennessee General Assembly informs us that Hutchins' wife died on November 14, 1895. Her tombstone inscription (in Hamilton County Tombstone Inscriptions, Negro, published as a WPA project in 1939), reads "Dora Hutchins / Wife of / S. L. Hutchins / Nov. 14, 1895 / Aged 27 Yrs." This is certainly not Clara, whom Hutchins married in 1880, when this woman was 12 years old; nor is it Mattie, who outlived Cora/Dora by 60 years. Whoever the children's mother may have been, it was Mattie who raised the two youngsters. Her own marriage to Styles Hutchins seems to have been successful, lasting more than 50 years.
Sometime after 1881 Hutchins opened a law practice in Chattanooga while also serving as editor of The Independent Age, a popular African American newspaper. He found plenty to write about. For one thing, the 1884 election that sent black candidate William C. Hodge to the Tennessee General Assembly had also created a deep rift in the Republican Party. Local white party leaders bolted from the party caucus and backed an independent candidate for the legislature. Hutchins was part of a group of dissident blacks who quickly organized their own caucus. He was extremely unsympathetic to African Americans who accepted minor public offices from whites he said were only trying to buy black votes cheaply: "Are you dogs and slaves to act like that?"
Having endeared himself to black voters by becoming a passionate spokesman for civil rights, Hutchins himself ran for the legislature in the next election (1886), winning by a razor-thin margin of eight votes!
A tireless legislator, the 35-year-old Republican took his seat in the Tennessee House in 1887, the same year his daughter Viola was born. He served on the committees for Education and New Counties and was actually successful in carrying two bills through to passage, a feat few other black legislators were able to accomplish. The first, HB 136, repealed an 1883 amendment to the Chattanooga city charter that required voters to pay a poll tax. Surprisingly, the bill faced no challenges – white officials evidently failed to grasp the potential of such a bill to reduce black voting strength. [They would remember it the following year, however, when the 46th General Assembly, which had no black members, enacted a statewide poll tax as the first of several measures designed to disfranchise African American voters.] Another Hutchins bill, HB 413, which prevented criminals convicted in other states from testifying in Tennessee courts, was adopted by a vote of 72-4. His bill to limit the use of convict labor was unsuccessful, even though he does not seem to have framed it as a racial issue.
After his legislative term ended, Hutchins returned to his Chattanooga law practice, took a patronage position in the revenue department of the U.S. Treasury, and became deeply involved in church work. He was known throughout Tennessee and Georgia as a fiery preacher (United Brethren in Christ) who frequently used his sermons to denounce racism in the South.
In 1906 Hutchins was involved in one of the most famous lynching cases in history. Hired to appeal the rape conviction of a black man named Ed Johnson, Hutchins and his young law partner, Noah W. Parden, carried the appeal as high as the Supreme Court, where Justice John Marshall Harlan granted them a hearing. [Parden thus became the first African American to be designated as lead counsel in a Supreme Court case.] The Court issued a stay of execution for Johnson and sent word to Tennessee of the decision. As the two lawyers celebrated their victory, a mob broke into the Hamilton County jail, dragged Johnson through the city, beat him cruelly, and hanged him from a bridge.
Hutchins and Parden immediately urged federal officials to file suit against the sheriff and members of the mob. In a precedent-setting case, the Supreme Court found Sheriff Shipp and others guilty of contempt of court. After serving only a brief sentence, however, Shipp returned home to a hero's welcome, while angry citizens set Hutchins and Parden's office on fire, threw rocks at their homes, and threatened their lives.
Both attorneys quickly left town. Parden took his wife and young children to St. Clair, Illinois, where their names appeared in census records in 1910, 1920, and 1930. The Hutchins family moved a little farther north. In 1910 Hutchins was practicing law in Peoria, Illinois; the 1920 census lists him as the owner/operator of a Kewanee, Illinois, barbershop, which he operated out of his home on West Fifth Street. (Knowing that he grew up working in a historically important Atlanta barbershop makes this a logical choice for his later years – he was 70 years old by this time.) Styles Junior (26) had married and moved home, where he was working as a barber in his father's shop, in an interesting echo of the family situation a generation earlier. The younger Hutchins married twice – in 1917 to Ethel M. Ellworth Johnson (a woman who had been married before and had a young child) and to Hannah Bell sometime before 1942. Ethel and Mattie Hutchins were both employed at the Parkside Hotel in Kewanee. The hotel, called the Hotel Kewanee after the 1950s, was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

At just over 1 1/4 inches thick, the PowerShot SX260 HS is an ultra-slim digital camera with a powerful 20x Optical Zoom. But because its lens embodies the quality and legacy of Genuine Canon Optics, its advantages go far beyond making the camera slim enough to slip in your pocket and carry anywhere. With a range of 25mm — 500mm (35mm equivalent), the lens gives you the power to capture the full breadth of scenes, with details you've never captured before. Images are bright and vivid with spectacular clarity thanks to Optical Image Stabilization.
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical, providing excellent image quality in many difficult shooting situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Pioneered by Canon, UA Lens technology makes possible compact lenses with remarkable
optical performance. By using molded glass with an ultra-high refractive index in aspherical lens
elements, Canon has succeeded in reducing lens size while significantly reducing image
aberrations. Another stellar example of cutting-edge Canon optics, UA Lens technology helps
make PowerShot digital cameras pocket-friendly and capable of astounding image quality.

Children and their 'Bigs' from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County spent the afternoon on June 26, 2010 with the Fish Hawks Saltwater Anglers Club members to learn how to fish and learn more about sea life.
FORKED RIVER, NJ – Children and their 'Bigs' from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County spent the afternoon on June 26, 2010 with the Fish Hawks Saltwater Anglers Club members to learn how to fish and learn more about sea life.
Fishing rods, reels and tackle boxes full of fishing gear for each child were purchased by the Fish Hawks through a $2,500 donation from Oyster Creek Generating Station. The Fish Hawks and Oyster Creek Station have partnered for this educational event for the past three years, teaching youth how to cast, tie knots and identify fish species. A session on boating safety was presented by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.
"We are thankful for the support that Oyster Creek Generating Station provides to us so that we can make events like this a success," said Jack Henderson, Fish Hawks Board Member. "These kids, who had never fished before, were able to learn a new skill, gain a new hobby and make a few more friends, which is one of the goals of our organization."
"Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County is very grateful of our partnership with Oyster Creek Generating Station. We value organizations such as Oyster Creek and The Fish Hawks because they are community minded and continually give back," said Kelly Hill, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County Program Development Director. "The Fish Hawks do a great job putting together the day-long event and not only do the children learn to fish but they learn about conservation and the marine life in our area. The kids love the event and look forward to it every year."
"The Fish Hawks Saltwater Anglers Club provides a great service to our area youth by teaching them how to fish and teaching them about our local waters," said Mike Massaro, Oyster Creek Generating Station Site Vice President. "The Fish Hawks service to the community is a prime reason why Oyster Creek is glad to donate to organizations in our local community – organizations that improve the lives of local residents."
The Fish Hawk's Saltwater Anglers Club's charter was established on April 6, 1977. The common goal was to form social fishing club, dedicated to good sportsmanship, preservation of the marine environment, and safeguarding our natural resources.

Max (James Woods) heads a Toronto TV station that mainly consists of broadcasting two things: softcore porn and violence. Max wants to break out and show new material in order to get a different audience. Using their pirate satellite dish, his company has found a Malaysian show called Videodrome, which depicts the torture and killing of anonymous victims. Not much more is known about the show, but Max orders it to be on his station's airwaves. Little by little Max begins to uncover the truth behind the mysterious Videodrome. The closer he gets to finding the show's ultimate motive the more he realizes the serious danger he and viewers of the show are in.

Hey everyone,
I am currently working on my portfolio website toddhartsfield.com to be fully responsive. Everything seems to work with iPhone and Android fine, but I am annoyed that when I go to my works page on a mobile device the images of my works are bigger than the devices screen. I want to make a new gallery with the same images optimized for say... a typical iPhone/android screen at 72ppi using a jQuery API known as photoswipe. I have used it before and it worked really well.
PHP is not my strong suit... or programming in general. I did make an attempt to make a block of PHP code.
< ?php
$browser = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone"); || stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'android');
if ($browser == true) { echo 'code for photoswipe'; }
elseif ($browser ==false) { echo 'code I already have' }
The code above I tried to make it work by finding if the browser from the client (if it is iPhone OR'||' Android do code B) If neither is found do code A.
Is the code above feasible or is there a better way to put this into a php block?
Thank You in advance!

During the week of May 6-11, 2007, the Veterans Administration Salt Lake City Health Care System will honor the dedicated men and women we in the Department of Veterans Affairs consider to be the compassionate backbone of the veteran's health care system, our nurses.
The theme of National Nurses Week 2007 is "Nursing: A Profession and a Passion", and no one puts more passion into the health care profession than VA nurses. VA is the nation's largest single employer of nurses and VA nurses lead their profession in education and training, clinical responsibility and research. But their passion comes from VA's mission, caring for our veterans.
VA nurses are integral and equal members of our health care team of professionals. No health care professional is closer to the veterans we care for than a VA nurse. Our patients rely on them for their compassion and the VA relies on them for setting the highest clinical care standards. That reliance is well placed. VA's recognition as a leader in health care, patient safety and research is due in large part to its nurses.
I am deeply proud to be associated with the 425 members of our nursing staff who serve veterans throughout the VA Salt Lake City Health Care System and of all of our nation's 2.9 million registered nurses who work tirelessly to keep us well and save lives around the clock every day.

If you're looking for a fun activity that's outdoors and close to home, mark June 8 on your calendar.
June 8 is Free Fishing Day in Utah. You don't need a fishing license to fish in the state that day.
"Make plans now to take your family out and enjoy a free day of fishing," says Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
Cushing says early June is one of the best times of the year to fish in Utah. Fishing for warm water fish, including bluegill, catfish, white bass and smallmouth and largemouth bass, is just starting to pick up. And trout and other cold water fish are still active and available to catch.
Before Free Fishing Day, the DWR will place extra fish in waters across Utah. Most of the fish will be placed in lakes and reservoirs, so lakes and reservoirs should be good places to fish on June 8.
Utah's community fishing ponds are another good place to try. Before June 8, catfish that average 18 inches in length will be stocked into the ponds. "Catch one of these cats," Cushing says, "and you'll be in for a fun fight."
Depending on where you live, a community pond might be only a few minutes away. You can learn more about Utah's community fishing ponds at www.wildlife.utah.gov/cf.
Cushing says the DWR will keep stocking catfish into the ponds until the temperature cools in the fall. "Then we'll place trout in the ponds," he says.
You don't need a license to fish on June 8, but all of the other rules in the state's fishing guidebook will still be in effect.
Cushing encourages you to get a copy of the 2013 Utah Fishing Guidebook and learn the rules. The free guidebook is available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks. Copies are also available at DWR offices and from fishing license agents across Utah.
"If you have any questions," he says, "please call the nearest DWR office. We'll be happy to help you out."

Consider what equipment you will carry during your round.
Carry bags are great for golfers who do not want to tote along their full set of clubs. These bags are designed to carry just a few clubs, tees and balls. If youre looking for a lightweight, compact option, try a carry bag.

Viewer votes chose American Idol's finalists Thursday night and only one of the two Queens contestants were chosen to continue the Idol journey.
Heejun Han was among the group of five guys that received the most votes securing his place in the finals and a chance to be named the 11th American Idol.
Astoria's Creighton Fraker did not fare as well, being sent home after not being among the top five male vote getters and not being chosen by the judges as one of the three wild cards.
"Had so much fun on my Idol journey! More than grateful for this experience," Fraker tweeted after the show. "Can't wait to keep writing and performing my music. Much love."
The Randy Jackson-dubbed "mad talented" Han advanced despite the judges believing his semifinal song choice — "Angels" by Robbie Williams — did not fully display his voice that Jennifer Lopez called "silky smooth."
Fan flocked to the Queens crooners Facebook page to congratulate him after receiving the news he was safe.
"All for God. All by God," Han tweeted. "Thank you guys so much for everything . I wont let you down."
This is the second year in a row a Queen resident advanced to American Idol's finals. Howard Beach's Pia Toscano made it all the way to the top 9.
The Flushing resident will continue his Idol odyssey on Wednesday at 8 p.m. on Fox 5 as he and his 13 fellow finalists will perform.

|Contentious Issues Cross County, Boone Agendas
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 18 February 2013 12:26
Issues will cross agendas in meetings of the Watauga County Commission and Boone Town Council this week, including watershed issues on the Commission agenda that pertain to the South Fork of the New River on the Ashe Line, and Boone Housing standards that the Watauga Commission
chairman would like to personally oppose for the county on the Boone Town Council agenda—that with a resolution of opposition on the Tuesday agenda of the County Commission. And the Boone Town Council's Thursday agenda includes an executive session item on negotiation for property along the New River for the water intake, a project currently stalled by Federal action after opposition by the Ashe County Manager. Should make for an interesting week of meetings.

Newly-improved Transition Assistance Management Program focuses on individual needs of each Marine and sailor. As most know, TAMP is a program designed to help Marines and their families transition from military to civilian life.
"The student now has options to help them along their selected pathway,†said Richard Welch, the station career resource center manager. "Not everyone is looking for employment immediately upon separation, to the new TRS takes that into account and provides optional training for those intending on going to college, university or vocational or technical schools. There is also an optional path for those who may be interested in starting their own business or franchising.â€
MCAS Yuma was chosen as a test site for the changes and began conducting pilot seminars in January. The new Transition Readiness Seminar was implemented throughout the Marine Corps on March 26.
Currently, service members are required to attend the Pre-separation Counseling Brief where they learn about veteran benefits, education, relocation and financial management to name a few. Following the brief attendees are required to take at least one assessment to help them determine or confirm which path is best suited for them. According to Welch, Marines will be required to attend the week long course then choose dates to attend extra classes for their selected pathways.
"If an individual feels that even though they plan on attending school upon separation, and will need to find employment while doing so, it would be to their advantage to pursue both the employment and the education pathways,†said Welch.
Extra courses also include a detailed presentation on how to write a proper resume including the federal resume. Instructors are trained to educate service members on how to be competition in the civilian job market. Tools are also provided to translate Marine jargon into something an employer would understand.
Marines are required to attend TAMP 90 days prior to their separation date. It is highly encouraged to take it approximately a year prior due to the vast amount of information provided in these courses. Spouses are also encouraged to attend. To get signed up for the program Marines must go through their Unit Transition Counselor.

I'm willing to have any conversation with anyone after they've seen it, because I think that they'll be very surprised as to what the movie is really about, John Krasinski said. I don't think either of us were interested in telling a very one-sided, uber-liberal anti-fracking movie because that would just be boring. The truth lies so much closer to the middle than either end of the extreme.
Very smart marketing, John. Tell people they have to watch the movie before they decide whether it is for them. Love the Office. Jim Halpert's the man. But I am not going to see this piece of trash. Yes, the fact that it was financed in part by the government of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — a region that stands to profit from the failure of the fracking industry, does not surprise me. Viewers can sniff your bias from a mile away. This is not the 1960s where information was a tight commodity. The internet has opened up the game to all of us.

The Ontario provincial government may seek to get back from New York Air Brake a $226,000 grant it awarded last May for an expansion at the companys Knorr Brake Ltd. facility in Kingston, Ontario, that will be shut down in 2014.
But because Air Brake might decide to use the Knorr Brake plant to repair locomotive rail parts, it still could keep the Canadian money if that operation stays in Kingston. The grant was 10 percent of a $2.2 million project to expand the plant, which produces locomotive braking systems; the project would have created 18 jobs.
The production of brake systems, which accounts for most of the work at the plant, will be moved to Watertown and create up to 50 jobs here. To determine what to do with the repair operations, the company is completing a market analysis, President Michael J. Hawthorne said.
About $130,000 of the $226,000 grant already has been received. It has been used to build an 8,000-square-foot addition at the back of the 22,000-square-foot plant to house its repair system, which needs replacing. But the company has yet to decide whether it will continue to use that facility or relocate the operation.
It may stay in Kingston, or go somewhere else, Mr. Hawthorne said. If we decide were going to move, well return any funds weve received. The market analysis will tell us how much we think we can win by moving, or if having the facility repaired is justified. If were in violation of the contract, well pay the money back.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen whether Canadian officials will seek immediate action to get back the funding, which was acquired by Air Brake from the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Fund. A statement emailed Thursday from the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment said the organization will seek to claw back as much of the grant money as it is owed. Minister Eric Hoskins was not available for comment.
Another member of Parliament said at the press event Tuesday in Kingston that the government likely will take action. John M. Gerretsen, who represents Kingston in Parliament and also is the attorney general for Ontario, told the Kingston Whig-Standard on Tuesday that he intends to take whatever measures we can to get the money back.
Mr. Hawthorne said the decision to shut down manufacturing at Knorr Brake, which will mean the loss of 86 jobs, was made after an analysis last summer of the overall cost structure of the plant. The company determined that, because the Canadian dollar is now almost equal to the U.S., doing business in Canada was no longer giving it a competitive advantage.
We used to enjoy a 30-cent difference thats now evaporated, he said. With an overhead cost structure thats similar at each facility, it made sense for us to consolidate. It was a difficult business decision because the people at KBL do an outstanding job.
He said consolidation at Air Brakes Watertown headquarters will mean all heavy freight products now will be produced under the same roof. To make room for new operations there, a cell used for manufacturing hoses for trains will be moved to its facility in North Carolina, and some of its locomotive production will be moved to Kansas City.
Jeff Garrah, chief executive officer for the Kingston Economic Development Corp., said he was surprised by Air Brakes announcement of the plant closing. But he said he understands the companys rationale for needing to become more efficient to compete in the global marketplace. The move is expected to create 50 jobs at Air Brakes Watertown headquarters at 748 Starbuck Ave. The phased closure will start in the fall, and operations are expected to stop at the Kingston plant by early next year.
Its always disappointing to lose a company, but we understand global decisions are made and its going to be good for our neighbors south of the border, Mr. Garrah said. Our economies have a lot in common, and while its sad to see these jobs go, I feel good that an area in Northern New York will benefit. I think in the last 10 years its been much more difficult for manufacturers in Northern New York than Canada.

Art shows are a blast! Especially when you get to meet the artist, the person behind the brush. But in most cases, you're not able to meet the artist to get the nitty gritty on a piece or learn who the artist really is. Microsoft Tag can't replace a face-to-face interaction, but it can provide some unique solutions for a standing gallery where the artist isn't present.
Art Loop Open
The Art Loop Open at Block 37 in Chicago created an interactive experience for visitors. Here's a short video to give you some background on what Art Loop Open was all about.
Every single piece of art in this exhibition had a Microsoft Tag next to it, allowing visitors to vote for the artist to win the competition and to view additional information about the art and the artist's bio. I think this is a great example of how Microsoft Tag can make a unique experience for people by connecting the online and offline world.
What really interests me are the endless ways other galleries can implement Tags for these types of exhibits in the future. Think about it: What if this were taken a step further, so each Tag linked to a video by the artist, personally explaining their art? Or what if the Tag connected you to the artist's website, Twitter feed, or Facebook profile? It would be an even more interesting experience if visitors could scan the Tag and keep an image of the artwork in their mobile picture library.
Technology Exhibit
Here's another example of Microsoft Tag being used in a similar fashion. Gizmodo hosted a geeky gallery in Soho NYC awhile back where old and new tech gadgets were displayed, each accompanied by a Tag. The exhibit featured approximately 70 gadgets and gizmos in a museum-like setting, ranging from a selection of vintage gadgets to a 3-pancakes-per-minute machine and never-before-seen, cutting-edge technology. Once the Tags were scanned, viewers could read more about the technology on their smartphones.
And yes, this is a picture of custom "Thriller" headphones (just writing this, I can hear the song playing in my head).
Adler Planetarium
My inner geek comes out with this next example. The Adler Planetarium did an amazing photo exhibit called "From Earth to the Universe," displaying 50 astronomical images that each contained a Microsoft Tag.
When visitors scanned the Tags, they viewed a custom mobile site that gave them a deep dive into each image of a nebula, galaxy, or amazing star constellation. I wonder if the Star Trek exhibition will ever use Tag?
How do you think Microsoft Tag could be used to enhance an exhibition? Let us know in the comments below or on Tag's Facebook or Twitter pages.

Free Doctors Excuses / Notes for Work
The fake doctor's templates have always been the last resort of many people when they want to miss or have skipped duty. Generally, it is immoral and illegal to submit a free doctors excuse to any party to whom you owe good faith and allegiance. Nevertheless, the worst always happens, ineluctable and tough times ensue such that you are compelled to miss two or three days from work or school. To avoid being liable to the penalties that employers and school administrators apply, you can manipulate the fake doctor's note template to chill out and avoid the daily monotony if appropriate. In case you search rigorously, you will find an ideal excuse online note that you can customize to suit your peculiar emergent needs.
You can use the doctor notes for work to convince the school authorities that you missed or will miss classes due to a compelling reason. Alternatively, employers use the physician excuse notes to avoid being liable to a pay off. The student may be compelled to miss classes as well as the employee, but the fake doctor's note should suffice to obtain legit leave and permit. You will also find it useful in other setting when the authorities are on your back and want substantiation through a medical note. For instance a pregnant woman taking a flight, a soldier recruit and travelers if there is a contagious disease in that zone.

Creating a hall-wide community through large-scale programs and events within each building is an important component of the Residential College experience. Hall Council helps create community standards and certain high-profile programs for the residence hall. The Council's leaders also represent the Res College community to the University as a whole through participation in Inter-Residence Hall Council. Goddard and Broome each have their own Council. In addition, these Hall Councils partner to administer the selection process for subsequent Residential College students and assist with the stream selection process. Each Hall Council has several formal and informal leadership positions – and participation is open to everyone in the community.
For upperclass buddies, this leadership role provides opportunities to give back to the Res College & NYU community, earn volunteer experience which can be added to a resume, develop leadership and mentorship skills, and provide a First-year student with the support needed for a successful transition.
Participation in the Residential College Getting Started Program is open to everyone in the community.

BATH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - One person is found dead in the rubble of a duplex that exploded this morning.
It was located on Bluff Road just behind the Bath Shopping Center.
The call came in just after 5 this morning. People who live nearby tell us they felt and heard the explosion. They say it sent a fireball into the sky.
The Bath Fire Chief says one person is dead and another is missing. They don't know if that person was home at the time of the blast.
They also believe several people who lived around the blast were hurt and taken to area hospitals.
The identities of those involved have not been released.
Firefighters say there is a debris field from the explosion a quarter of a mile wide.
The house that exploded was made of brick and nearby houses and cars were damaged by the blast. Firefighters say the house was heated with propane but stopped short of saying whether that caused the blast.
The state fire marshal and the Propane Fuel Board will be at the scene investigating all day.

Stopping in a bustling floral shop pleases the senses with wonderful sights and smells! The flowers include fragrant and lovely roses, tulips, baby's breath, carnations and hundreds of other floral delights.
They represent species from all over. In fact, most of the state flowers can be found in local floral shops. Examples of a few flowers designated to represent their native state include:
The next step is taking these delightful blossoms and plants and artfully arranging them into breathtaking centerpieces, bouquets, and arrangements!
Training to become a florist is serious business. There are three major national associations for florists—the Society of American Florists, the American Institute of Floral Designers and the American Floral Industry Association.
There are separate schools focusing on flowers including the South Florida Center for Floral Studies and the Floral Design Institute. At these and other similar institutions, the aspiring florist will learn everything there is to know about being a florist such as arranging flowers and how to run a florist shop.
After that training, further credentialing and certifications can be earned from state and regional programs.
Flowers and plant gifts express deep sentiments of the individual who is giving them. Those powerful emotions and wishes must be appropriately interpreted within the floral creation. The flowers must be a true extension from the mind of the giver to the delivery of the flowers. It is a message of importance and the florist has to convey it with integrity and urgency.
Flowers generally mark an occasion. An event or an emotion that has made a significant impact in the givers life. Christmas, a wedding, a death, a birth, love, congratulations, or an anniversary are just a few of the powerful forces that can spark a giver to pick up the phone, go on the internet or stop at a florist to spend money on a floral expression.
Many times, the florist's customer is uncertain of what s/he wants. For example, if a customer comes in and says he wants flowers for the first anniversary of a first date, but does not have an idea of what he wants, what does the florist do?
The florist can ask a few basic questions such as does he want an arrangement or a bouquet; how much does he want to spend; does she have a favorite flower and most importantly: When does he want it?
In most cases during a floral visit and in all cases when ordering online, the giver will want the floral piece delivered and usually right way, sometimes even on the same day! This is why the florist has to have a good delivery system in place. The difference between a satisfied and an irate customer could very well emanate from the delivery process.
Many online florist websites offer same day delivery if ordered by a certain time (for example, by 2pm on weekdays, 12:30pm on Saturdays and 11:30am on Sundays). That is because the florists use delivery personnel local to the area. So, if a giver orders flowers from Des Moines, IA, for delivery to person in Riverside, CA, it will be a Riverside (or nearby community) florist that will fill the order and deliver the flowers.
In general, flower delivery charges range from $5 to $10. Online florists include it in the price of the order. The expense can influence the composition of the floral order. For example, if a giver orders an arrangement for $68.95, that will include a delivery charge of $8.95. The online florist will forward the order to a local florist. If the local florist charges only $6.95 for delivery, the extra $2.00 will result in more flowers being added to the design.
Delivery cost is an expense most givers are happy to pay to ensure their sentiments are beautifully expressed and delivered on time!

|ASU Favored to Win SoCon Again
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Monday, 26 July 2010 18:30
Appalachian State University is a near unanimous choice of the Southern Conference's coaches to win the 2010 SoCon football championship, the conference announced on Monday.
Appalachian received first-place votes from 7-of-9 SoCon coaches in the conference's preseason poll. Coaches are not permitted to vote for their own teams, meaning that only one of eight possible votes was cast for a team other than ASU.
The Mountaineers are in search of their sixth-straight SoCon title, which would match the conference record for consecutive championships set by Georgia Southern from 1997-2002. The Apps return 20 starters (nine on offense, seven on defense and four specialists) from last year's squad that went 11-3 overall, including a second-straight perfect 8-0 SoCon record, and finished ranked No. 3 in the major national polls.
Appalachian also had a league-high 13 representatives on the SoCon's preseason all-conference squads, nearly twice as many as Samford, which landed the second-most players on the squad with seven.
Ten of ASU's 13 preseason all-conference honorees are first-team selections, led by Walter Payton Award candidate Devon Moore at running back and its trio of Buck Buchanan Award candidates on defense: end Jabari Fletcher, linebacker D.J. Smith and defensive back Mark LeGree.
Joining Moore, Fletcher, LeGree and Smith on the first team are offensive linemen Brett Irvin and Pat Mills, tight end Ben Jorden, wide receiver Brian Quick, defensive end Lanston Tanyi and place kicker Jason Vitaris. ASU's second-team selections include offensive linemen Daniel Kilgore and Matt Ruff and defensive back Ed Gainey.
Appalachian officially begins preparations for the 2010 campaign on Friday, Aug. 6 when it opens fall practices. The season opener is Sept. 4 at SoCon-rival Chattanooga. The opener will be televised regionally on SportSouth and kicks off at 3 p.m.
