MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A federal judge has set a hearing Dec. 6 on restitution payments by three former state corrections employees who've been sentenced to prison in connection with the beating death of an inmate.
U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson set the hearing for Michael Smith, Matthew Davidson and Scottie Glenn.
The restitution hearing is a follow-up to the defendants' sentencing on Monday. Smith got 30 years in prison, Davidson seven years and Glenn five years for charges stemming from the beating death of inmate Rocrast Mack in August 2010 at a state prison in Clayton.
Smith was convicted of violating Mack's constitutional rights, conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Davidson pleaded guilty to violating Mack's rights and conspiring with others to obstruct justice. Glenn pleaded guilty to violating Mack's rights and conspiracy.

CUMINGS, JAMES (?–1825). James Cumings, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred settlers and one of seven sons of Anthony and Rebekah Cumings, received a Mexican land grant of five leagues and one labor in what is now Austin County and a league now in Brazoria County, on August 16, 1824. The tract, bisected by Palmetto (later Mill) Creek, lay seven miles north of San Felipe. The five-league grant, called a hacienda, was given in exchange for the building and operation of a grist and saw mill to serve Austin's first colony. James entered into a contract with his brothers, John and William, to fulfill those obligations. On August 26, 1825, shortly before his death, James willed to William and John the hacienda and its improvements, to be divided equally between them. He left another league of land, near Brazoria, to be divided between his sisters, Rebecca and Sarah. Cumings never married.

Greg Biffle confronts Jimmie Johnson after race, grabs him by the shoulder (GIF)
Jimmie Johnson has to be one of the most calm and collected drivers in the history of auto racing. Otherwise, Greg Biffle would have woken up with a shiner on Monday morning. Johnson finished fifth and lost his Sprint Cup Series points lead after a frustrating race at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday. As he was…Read More

Happy times, yeah. Build "just" finished. About 90 miles in...
MootoX YBB, Jan. 2013 frame birth.
XX1 (11-speed), 32 tooth ring
Industry 9's Torch Trail 24 2/1 wheelset, XD1 driver
IRD Fire XC Pro29 front/rear, a 2.1*
SLX/Ice Tech
Ritchey WCS Flat 10D alloy bars, Oury locks
Issues being worked on:
Rear wheel non-driveside chainstay rub on hard right cornering: just a slight thrum-hum, but evidenced by a polished-streak in the beadblast. Considered causes: -- Since the wheel is true, maybe inaccurate dish.
-- IRD's 2.1 is more like 2.4.
-- I-9's sexy wheel is too flexy (24 vs 32)
-- YBB's stick-up-a-hole joinery allows rotatory flex in the triangle.
Gonna let build-shop handle tightening (?stiffening?) up the wheel, and correcting a 1/8" dish inequality. I think that'll likely handle it. Will likely try (first) locking out the YBB just to see the effect independently. And a narrower, or at least lower side-knob profile rear tire might help.
Another thing: I'm challenged to ride intelligently as I get used to aggressiveness on this bike; it's a hard-tail, to be sure, with the sweet touch of the soft-thang YBB. But I do occasionally (OK, more, maybe) get a little lazy and stay seated on hits I should stand over. In so doing, the YBB bottoms, more than I expected. Bang. 185 pounds. Stiffer spring/elastomer, whatever (I don't want reduced travel).

gun control and sexism of any kind
by cityduck on 2/4/2013 8:30:08 AM
OK PPP let's be done with this. Neither of us are going to change our thoughts, so have a good life, talk to you never again.
by pinksox on 2/3/2013 6:53:40 PM
Haha Pinksox, I wish you knew what I'm calling you in my head right now. And just so you know, I know what I'm talking about. I'm just perfect like that. XOXO Pandapillowpet
by PandaPillowPet on 2/3/2013 5:12:28 PM
Well if I don't know what I'm talking about,
than I guess we have something in common.
by pinksox on 2/3/2013 12:35:37 AM
To Pinksox, I realize that you are stating your beliefs, but you don't really know what you are talking about, and Obama never lied to us about the attack or anything else. And I do favor Obama. XOXO Pandapillowpet
by PandaPillowPet on 2/2/2013 2:06:02 PM
Also I'm a little confused, do you favor Obama? In other comments you made it seem like you don't.
by pinksox on 2/2/2013 11:13:36 AM
He does need to tell us everything. Why did he need to keep it a secret? We have a right to know! This is America. If Obama didn't know the facts about the attack, why did he go ahead and tell us something that wasn't the truth? Why didn't he wait to know exactly what happened?
Yes people voted him in, but he is making himself more powerful and disregarding what people are trying to tell him.
Well if he's cleaning up the mess, he sure is taking his sweet time.
I didn't say you couldn't slam Bush or defend Obama, you most certainly can. Like I said this is America. We have the freedom of speech, but just because you can doesn't mean your right. I'm not saying I'm right, just stating my beliefs.
by pinksox on 2/2/2013 11:12:31 AM
To fix gun control it's ridiculous! There r security guards all over my school I'm afraid some wacko student is going to kidnap me or shoo t me, my friends or the people I love. That's why I'm going to tell my school how I feel make at least some differences in my school,safe ones
by Chrissy23 on 1/31/2013 11:14:23 PM
To pinksox, like I said before, he is the PRESIDENT, he doesn't need to tell us everything and also , Obam didn't know the facts about the attack either. He also cannot be a dictator because we the people voted for him. Obama is cleaning up the mess that Bush made, and I would call Bush one of the worst presidents. And I will slam Bush or defend Obama all I want because I know I'm right. XOXO Pandapillowpet
by PandaPillowPet on 1/31/2013 3:59:48 PM
PandaPillowPet the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. The president has some powers, but it all goes back to the Constitution. We are a democracy. That means that the people have the say. Which brings me to, yes he is a dictator, I don't know why people elected him into a second term, probably because he is a likable person. However, he does not know how to govern a country. I lost hope in many Americans on election day. Hopefully when four years is up people will realize the mistake they made, and we will elect a better president to clean up the mess. I do know what Obamacare is thank you very much, and I do think Bush was a better president than Obama, definitely not the best, but better than Mr. Obama. Did you know Obama kept information from the American people about the attack on an American Consulate, and he has still not given us the whole truth. Okay you are going to come right back at me, slamming Bush or defending Obama. So I think this, you think that.
by pinksox on 1/30/2013 8:44:52 PM
I think we need a new constitution to fit today's United States. And to Pinksox, he can change the constitution, for God's sake, he is the PRESIDENT. And if he is a dictator according to you, then why did people vote him in. I also doubt that you even know what Obamacare is. While we are speaking about Bush, did you know that he could have stopped 9/11 and that he started a war, that killed thousands of people, with the wrong people. I bet you think he was a great president. And to The.musican.98, gun control and religious freedom is a big difference and the president is supportive about religious rights. XOXO Pandapillowpet
by PandaPillowPet on 1/27/2013 11:20:02 AM
@pandapillowpet: I can see that you like Obama, which is fine. I won't try to sway your views. However, if Obama changes that itsy bitsy statement in the Constitution about guns, what's to say he can't change the clause about our religious freedom? And I quote the First Amendment: "Congress (this includes you, Mr. President) shall make no law concerning a religious establishment..." Need I go on? If he changes this, or any other part of this, then he is saying that he has the power to throw out the Constitution that has worked for our country for almost to hundred years. What has already happened to "LIFE, liberty, and pursuit of happiness"? Emphasis on LIFE.
by The.musician.98 on 1/26/2013 3:11:02 PM
Obama cannot change the Constitution. He does not have that power. Obama is a dictator, and it makes me very angry that people still believe he is a great president. They blame Bush for the bad economy, well Obama has had 4 years to fix that and did he? No. Its up to him now but he just keeps spending. Also all green energy is not good. We have so much natural gas to use that it could last us over 100 years and we aren't using it! WHY NOT? Anyway gun control is bad, Obamacare is bad, and President Obama is not doing a great job.
by pinksox on 1/26/2013 2:26:04 PM
Excuse my grammer mistakes, it is hard to type on a kindle.
by PandaPillowPet on 1/25/2013 7:35:33 PM
And I'm not done yet. Ninth, I bet you girls don't even know what the constitution says. Sure it says that we have the right to bear guns but Obama can change that if he wants, because this isn't the 1800s anymore where they had guns that took 15 seconds to reload after each shot. And lastly, you might not agree with what I have to say and I do not what to start any fight, but I'm speaking my mind so deal with it. XOXO Pandapillowpet ;D
by PandaPillowPet on 1/25/2013 7:28:57 PM
Okay, I have a lot to say to you girls like hockeyluver, Caityrica, taylorswiftfan1236, and Prim. First of all, I just want to ask you how many times a year your h.ouse gets broken into and you have to use a gun? Zero you say, that's what I thought. Second of all, I'm 99% my own opinion and not my parent's because I'm not a dimbo and I can think for myself. Third, Fox news is run by a bunch of republican dimbos who don't have a clue what they are talking about. Fourth, I agree that getting rid of guns won't stop crime but it will certainly cut down on it. Fifth, this is for Puffinlover99, PandaPillowPet is not hard hard to spell or say. Sixth, not all criminals are mental. Some of the best criminal were very smart. Seventh, take a self-denfense class if your so worried about your safety. Eighth, Obamacare saves a lot of people like my friend's brother who has a serious illness.
by PandaPillowPet on 1/25/2013 7:19:12 PM
Okay, hold up. We're a bunch of young ladies here. Why are we so worried about whether or not we can kill someone with an automatic rifle? I really think it's pretty petty. What I think is important is the health of the environment. I'd love to see wind and solar energy powering our homes and hydrogen fueling our cars. Plus implementing sustainable power into our towns and cities would create lots of jobs. The adults around us have left us a big mess to clean up, and our future children will think of polar bears the way we think of dinosaurs unless we do something.
by blushingbella on 1/22/2013 8:27:33 PM
I'm sitting here reading these comments and all I can say is "wow." You people who think Obama is a good president obviously have no idea what is happening in our country. Obama is a lying idiot that blames others, spends tax-payers' money on his constant vacationing, and is NOT helping this country. This man is going to ruin this country as we know it. He never goes by the Constitution. And for those of you who think guns should be banned, maybe you'd think otherwise if someone breaks into your house and you have no way to defend yourself. Banning guns will do this country no good because criminals will still be able to get their hands on them. Criminals break the law. They aren't going to follow a gun law, obviously. And don't say "you just listen to what your parents say." Yes, I do.But I watch FOX news almost every night and I know what I'm talking about. There's my opinion. I think Obama should focuss on spending less money and creating more jobs for the American people.
by taylorswiftfan1236 on 1/22/2013 7:22:57 PM
For all the girls saying that the new gun policies are just for high level assault weapons, you're only part right. Yes that is what they're doing- for now. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of guns once and for all, no matter who says otherwise. And for the people saying you need it for self defense, you are far more likely to shoot a family member by accident than a burglar on purpose. Finally, seriously pandawhatever? You can not insult our parents just because they don't share your opinion. What mod let that go through?
by puffinlover99 on 1/22/2013 7:09:48 PM
Thank you HockeyLuver! I agree with everything you said. And really everyone? Gun control? People wouldn't even be thinking about it if it weren't for the school shooting in CT. It wouldn't even be in question! I understand that it was tragedy, and trust me, I cried, but gun control will do nothing about it! If people want a gun bad enough, they will find a way to get a gun. It is a fact. I think the main thing Obama should be worried about is the fiscal cliff. No more blaming things on Bush, Obamas been in office for a full term now. In the beginning he even said all he would need is four years to fix everything. How did that go? NOT WELL. So, I wish he would focus on important things, like the economy and the extremely high unemployment rate, and not gun control, which he can do nothing about because of our wonderful constitution.
by AlSal on 1/22/2013 6:42:53 PM
Well PandaPillowPet you are possibly listening to your parents too, so who are you to talk. And also imagine this scenario. You are asleep and then someone comes breaking into your house, you don't have guns to protect yourself from a far distance. A knife you have to use close up because you probably aren't practiced in the knife-throwing skill, so a knife would be out of the question. And so the burglar is coming up into your room to possibly harm you and you have nothing to protect yourself with. Would you just sit there and let them harm you with their gun they have? I doubt it. You would wish you could have a gun to protect yourself with, but too late for that. And if he is such a good president why are we on a fiscal cliff you can't possibly blame that on Bush, Obama has been in a whole term, not to mention the fact our unemployment rate has gone almost as high as when it was the Great Depression. Ya he is the greatest president in history.

Obama's the best! Me and my mom watched the inauguration on TV!

I think Obama should do something about out dept. I'm not sure if he IS right now but we are more then a billion dollars of dept. It's increasing every second of our day! China could take over us at any time!
by YouCanCallMeCat on 1/22/2013 5:01:02 PM
pandapillowpet-I'm not trying to sound mean,but not everyone just thinks what they think because of their parents. No need to insult anyone's parents either.

Okay, first of all, Obama is a really good president. He is doing all he can to help this country. You girls that are against him, have no idea what you are talking about. You are probably just saying what your parents, who are idiots, say. Obama is doing the right thing about gun control. Nobody needs guns unless they hunt. Nobody!
by PandaPillowPet on 1/22/2013 9:43:52 AM
he should make automatic guns illegal. Hunters use rifles and if you want a pistol for self defense-fine. But there is no need to own a gun where you press the trigger once and it fires 25 bullets.
by 4soccer27 on 1/21/2013 11:58:00 PM
Hopefully he will do more in his second term then he did in his first. That's all I can say.
by hawaiigirl624 on 1/21/2013 11:13:23 PM
If gun laws go into effect criminals will be the only ones with guns. Just like in New York the criminal rate went up but you don't hear about that anymore they say crime rate has gone done but I believe they are lying to cover up that gun control is a bad thing. I agree with Mtoles they outlawed certain drugs but people still get hold of them. I think he should require everyone to have a gun in their house to protect themselves. Then the crime rate would go down I'm certain. And these places where the people have gone to shoot have all been mental, its the mental people who are the ones killing innocent people. What they should do is put more effort into helping the mental people like the ones who do this, then the crime rate would decrease also.
by HockeyLuver on 1/21/2013 10:56:46 PM
Girls breathe! consitituionally he can not take away our guns. Sure he can limit them but why would you need an assault rifle or something to that sort anyways. Trust me i dont realy like obama and im with ya with most issues but with this one i gotta tell you otherwise. I really like your ideas and we should make more.Just sayin dont worry about the gun control our magnifacient Constitution gots that covered.
by leah52899 on 1/21/2013 10:27:07 PM
Well ladies, on a positive note, at least his term is halfway over.
by Gingerk8 on 1/21/2013 9:51:11 PM
I think the president should focus on job growth because alot of people are out of jobs and lately I have heard a lot about industries being shut down due to lack of money. I also think he should focus on gun control. We cannot blame the law that lets us have self defense beacause in this society, we really do need it! Its like blaming and older sibling for protecting themselves against the younger sibling. What are we supposed to do? Stand there and let ourselves get hurt! I may not necisarily like Obama, but he is the president and honor what he does.
by hottie1250 on 1/21/2013 9:15:12 PM
As long as he doesn't go after our guns I'm fine with him. Getting rid of guns doesn't solve the problem. The people are the problem.
by puffinlover99 on 1/21/2013 9:11:03 PM
[We] should not blame a gun itself for any crime or any acts of violence, any more than we can blame a pen for misspelling a word." - Senator Wallace F. Bennett It's true, right? Meghan D.
by Mtoles on 1/21/2013 9:00:00 PM
Gun control doesn't do much, they outlawed drugs but people still use them. I agree that they should focus on school security not gun control. That's not the issue, Obama is avoiding the REAL issue.
by Mtoles on 1/21/2013 8:48:15 PM
If Obama makes guns illegal, the criminals aren't going to obey the law. Seriously. We need guns as self defense. England outlawed guns, and now they are the number 1 most violet. They have so much violence with knives, and illegal guns. In Switzerland, 1 in every 2 citizens have guns and it is the lowest crime and violence rate. Just think about it. Common sense people!
by emmulee on 1/21/2013 8:46:39 PM
I agree with Nataliebrroo.if we take away guns they will just break the law anyway. I think people are thinking about themseleves and not about how some people depend on guns to protect themselves.They need to work on the security of schools. Where I live you can just walk on to the campus and no one will stop to ask what you are there for.Also where I live schools have gone in to lock down a lot in the past few months after the shooting in Newtown because cops are chasing people to close to the schools and they don't want to take chances.That's just my opinion.
by emmacd on 1/21/2013 8:39:30 PM
I would really like to see Obama focus on the issues of the economy and job growth. My advice to him would simply be to put aside the politics and focus on doing what is best for the country.

by NatalieBrroo on 1/21/2013 8:07:11 PM
I think we need gun control because of all the shootings. My school got a whole new security system so that nobody gets in or out without the teachers swiping a security card.
by Katrinaisamodel on 1/21/2013 7:39:13 PM
We need gun control. I don't feel safe leaving the house. Guns give me trust issues. It's horrific and unreal. I don't feel safe having my little sister go to school. We. Need. Gun control. I'm not kidding.
by WinnieGirlie on 1/21/2013 7:33:51 PM
I truly hope he follows through with the gun control policy.
by the_girl_in_goal on 1/21/2013 7:26:14 PM
I think that we should put a focus on
1) gun control
2) gun control
3) gun control
As you can see I think we should put a focus on gun control
by juliacar on 1/21/2013 6:49:16 PM
Obama's first goal needs to be gun control. We shouldn't have to be afraid in our own homes, our schools, and everywhere else. He needs to create a solid plan and push it through and get it approved. We can't afford another delay like the 'fiscal cliff' decision. This needs to happen and it needs to happen NOW. Every day wasted is more lives put at risk. This country can't afford another tragedy like what happened in Newtown. Machine guns and other high powered guns and access amounts of ammnunition need to be banned. How many more innocent, harmless lives have to be taken to realize this? This doesn't mean all of our guns are going to be taken away. It just means that the people that want to hurt us have fewer means of accessability. Sure, not everyone is going to do like the mass-shooters have done, some poeple collect, but would you rather have a bigger collecrion or rather have a higher chance of someone else shooting kids? I don't want to offend anyone, I'm just stating my beliefs
by blushy on 1/21/2013 6:46:54 PM
1) You didn't capitalize Bible.
2.) I haven't really ever agreed with much that he's done. Yes, he's good as a person. He's a magnificent speaker, but I think he makes too many decisions on the spot and thinking very little about it. :\ Just my opinion.

Two words: GUN CONTROL
by maggie183 on 1/21/2013 6:11:00 PM
I am so happy that Obama is our president for a second term, I think he will do a great job. I think creating a discussion on gun control is so important after everything that has happened. Now is the time and I think President Obama can begin to tackle it.

Niche Bank Targets White-Collar Market
Vying against giants like NationsBank, a start-up in an Atlanta suburb seeks customers among small service companies
For 21 years Nat Padget worked in banks that looked much the same. Gleaming marble floors, long rows of tellers, drive-up windows--the features were as familiar to him as the greenbacks that the banks handled every day. That's the scene Padget remembers at Milton National Bank, in the Atlanta suburb of Roswell, Ga., his last employer. He quit his job at Milton in October 1997 and last summer opened the Chattahoochee National Bank a few miles away, in Alpharetta.
Unlike Milton, however, Chattahoochee (named after a nearby river) has no tellers or drive-up windows. It's shoehorned into blandly anonymous quarters in a brick office building just off busy Highway 400 in Fulton County. Nothing in its architecture denotes it as a bank except its rooftop sign.
Chattahoochee looks different because it isn't trying to appeal to all the people in Fulton County. Its focus is on depositors and borrowers from a narrow slice of the local business community: white-collar service companies --such as computer consultants, insurance brokers, and engineers--that earn revenues of $3 million to $30 million. "We don't operate like the typical bank," says Padget. "But that's because we have a very specific customer with specific needs."
Chattahoochee exemplifies a new breed of specialized community bank that has emerged as a reaction to the industry's consolidation during the past decade. To be sure, most of the small banks that have sprung up look like Milton and operate in the same way. But among them, industry experts say, is a growing minority of start-ups that, like Chattahoochee, seek a highly specific market. "The wide-open consumer banks are getting harder to start," says Ed Furash, chairman of Monument Financial Group, a bank consulting firm in Alexandria, Va. "It's easier to get a leg up by going after a niche market."
The sweeping changes in the banking industry, as it happens, roughly coincide with the arc of Padget's career. In 1977 he graduated from Clemson University, in Clemson, S.C., and went to work as a national bank examiner in Georgia. Padget caught the tail end of an era, the era of the small, family-run community bank. By the mid 1980s, giants like NationsBank, Wachovia, and First Union were swallowing up Georgia's small-fry.
By then Padget had signed on as a loan officer with the National Bank of Georgia in Atlanta. He cultivated as his customers wealthy small-business owners, many of whom migrated north to fast-growing Fulton County in the early 1990s. To stay close to his customers, Padget joined Milton in 1993 as the bank's number two officer.
Itching for a bank of his own, Padget teamed up with T. Stephen Johnson, a consultant and bank investor in Atlanta. Johnson helped raise nearly $2 million in private investments. There followed in June 1998 an over-the-counter public offering by the bank's newly formed holding company, CNB Holding Inc., raising an additional $9.5 million. The offering took place a month before Chattahoochee opened its doors, which is not unusual for a new bank venture.
His financial backing in place, Padget embarked on a strategy to stretch his dollars by sharply limiting overhead. Thus, he leases the premises for Chattahoochee, paying $6,000 a month. To compensate for limited space and to save his borrowers time, Padget dispatches his six laptop-toting loan officers into the field and provides a courier service for check deposits. He further curtails operating expenses by angling for white-collar professionals as customers. They transact little business in cash, which is expensive to process.
Although Chattahoochee keeps expenses low, its loan rate averages an eighth of a point higher than what its large competitors charge. That's a premium that Padget reckons his borrowers will pay in exchange for financial expertise, personalized service, and fast access to capital. Not that all Padget's competitors are large banks. The market in Fulton County has become more crowded this year, with two start-ups, Peachtree Bank, in Duluth, and the North Atlanta National Bank, in Alpharetta, both fashioned in the Milton mold.
Despite greater competition, Padget insists that Chattahoochee is on course. Its assets have swelled to $23 million, and he's predicting the bank could be profitable within two years. Meanwhile, the local banking news is breaking his way. The Bank of North Georgia was recently snatched up by Synovus Financial Corp., a banking colossus based in Columbus. "Keep buying 'em up," urges Padget. "It just means more opportunity for us."
Retro as a virtue
"You'll find bankers who call you by name and greet you with a smile." So boasts an ad for the Merrill Merchants Bank, in Bangor, Maine. The image of the little bank that cares may seem retro in an industry increasingly known for hard-driving efficiency, impersonal modernity, and ATM machines.
Yet some small-scale community banks are seeking a competitive edge by turning quaintly personal service into a marketing asset. Merrill Merchants president Edwin Clift explains: "Given all the high-tech advances in banking service, our message is even more important today."
Merrill Merchants has gone to extraordinary lengths to get its message across. Its very name harks back to two nostalgia-laden community banks, Merrill Trust Co. and Merchants National Bank, that served the Maine city for most of the century and have now been consumed by mergers.
At mortgage closings Clift presents proud homeowners with a handcrafted model of their new house--a perfect replica down to the paint color and landscaping.
Banking landscape: many start-ups bloom
It's no secret that the banking industry is shrinking. With behemoths such as Bank of America and First Union gorging on smaller competitors, the total number of banks has plummeted to 9,143, down from more than 13,000 a decade ago. The frenzy of consolidation has left scores of bankers looking for work and some customers longing for what they imagine are gentler, kinder community banks. That, along with a vigorous economy, has created a strong crosscurrent of emerging new banks. In 1997 alone, more than 180 new bank charters were approved, according to the latest figures available from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Many of the new banks share similar traits. They're frequently financed by a cadre of local investors who may have recently cashed out of the hometown bank. While new banks are popping up all across the country, states such as Texas, California, Georgia, and Florida have been particularly favored. That's related to the population growth of these states, notes a recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
The study also concludes that new banks are cropping up in areas where there's a dearth of small banks, such as Arizona and North Carolina. "In some areas community banks are competing against community banks," says Paul Katz, manager of member and state relations for America's Community Bankers, based in Washington, D.C. "But it's much harder to get a competitive edge."

NOTE (January 6, 2014): This story has been updated to reflect a change in location for the program, to Newtown Meeting House.
* * * * *
Newtown has produced many notable characters in its 300-plus years. On Monday, January 13, at 7:30 pm, at Newtown Meeting House, Town Historian Dan Cruson will present a line-up of some of them for Newtown Historical Society's first program of the new year, "Legendary Locals of Newtown."
These legends include some obvious choices such as Judge William Edmond, for whom the former town hall is named; Cyrenius Booth, for whom the library is named; and Mary Hawley, from whose monetary gift both buildings derive. Mr Cruson will be adding details to flesh out earlier presentations on these well known folks, but he will be adding glimpses of many others, including farmer-educator-historian Ezra Johnson; and the Reverend Henry Bragg Smith, whose descendants continue a newspaper taken over by his family in 1891 and which still informs the town today.
The lecture will include tales of some of the town's lesser known but perhaps even more interesting characters, such as Carolyn Booth, who was shot just outside her shack on Toddy Hill Road, probably by her paramour; inventor Robert Fulton, who created a car that was also an airplane; Al Penovi, whose plumbing business in Sandy Hook was known far and wide for being able to provide the most obscure and obsolete plumbing fixtures; and Birdseye Parsons, a songwriter who became a much loved eccentric seen on the streets of Sandy Hook in the 1940s and '50s riding a cart pulled by his donkey Betsy.
The program will also touch upon The Men's Literary and Social Club of Newtown Street, more familiarly known simply as The Men's Club. The members of this more than a century-old group have included many of the leading citizens of Newtown, and its roster is a virtual "who's who" of the last century and a half. The lecture will thus include the story of the club and will briefly introduce some of its guiding lights, many of them receiving historical notice for the first time.
Dan Cruson has been Town Historian since the inception of the office. He is a past president of the historical society, and currently serves as president of the Connecticut Archeological Society. He has written many books and spoken innumerable times on local history topics.
About a year ago he began work on Legendary Locals of Newtown, published in July by Arcadia Press, and it is from his research for this book that he will take his talk. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the talk, and Mr Cruson will autograph copies for those interested.
Newtown Historical Society programs are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served following the presentation.
Newtown Meeting House is at 31 Main Street in Newtown. For further details call 203-426-5937 or visit www.newtownhistory.org.

ANNISTON -- The Calhoun County Commission is objecting to plans to demolish historic structures at Fort McClellan.
The McClellan Development Authority said it wants to tear down rundown buildings that may be dangerous, saying it will make it easier to market the property.
The County Commission on Thursday declined to allow destruction of Pinewood Church, Army barracks built in 1935 and used in World War II and the box office for the McClellan concert series.
Commissioner Robert Downing said the historical significance of some of the buildings trumps the authority's wishes. Some of the buildings are on the state historical register.
He said he'd like to invest more money in restoration.
MDA CEO Robin Scott said the authority will meet Wednesday and discuss the commission's decision.

Our Method
HG Life Coaching is based on the "Handel Method," which was developed over the last 15 years by HG Co-founder and Chairman, Lauren Zander. The method is the foundation for not only our life coaching work, but also for the courses we teach at MIT, NYU, Rutgers and Stanford Business Schools, and for the work we do within large companies in the Executive Coaching Division. The method is revolutionary yet easy to understand, methodical yet infinitely customizable. Most importantly of all, it has proven to be highly effective.
Our Life Coaches
Look at our coach bios and you will find a Masters in Psychology, past and current business owners and other impressive credentials. But what makes them great Life Coaches is their ongoing training in the Handel Method, their natural intelligence and intuition and their capability to walk their talk. Our coaches are rigorously trained for an average of two years and to keep our coaches sharp, training continues on an ongoing basis. In addition to our Senior and Staff Life Coaches, we have a roster of CIT's (coaches in training) who are in training to be the next HG Life Coaches.
Our Commitment
The Handel Group was born of an authentic and ambitious desire to change the world in a very positive way. It is a spiritual endeavor for us. Yes, it is a business. Yes, we are trying to make a living from our business. However, we are succeeding and HG continues to grow because of the services we provide and the heart behind them. We fully respect and love our clients because at HG, we all work on ourselves on a consistent basis. We think that those who are willing to dig deep and look at themselves honestly are the most courageous people in the world, not to mention, people we'd want to hang with. In a word, we are looking to make personal development cool. We think it is.

Title:The Flowering Behaviour of Carnation Cuttings Produced in Long and Short Days
Authors:G.P. HARRIS and ANNE P. BRADBEER
pp: 73-84
Cuttings of the glasshouse carnation, White Sim, were produced in long and short days, rooted and then grown on to produce terminal flower
buds. So long as cuttings were made from vegetative shoots, the day-length in which they had been produced had little or no effect on the time of flower-bud appearance. In short days shoots of stock plants remained vegetative for relatively long periods but in long days induction of flowering occurred when the shoots had eight or nine visible leaf pairs. Cuttings made from shoots that had undergone induction flowered rapidly with relatively few leaves below the flower, even under short-day conditions where the flowering of vegetative cuttings was delayed. When cuttings were made from vegetative shoots of the same age, cuttings with higher leaf numbers flowered earlier and after initiating fewer new leaves.

Cheney, Wash. – Eastern Washington University Women's Basketball head coach Wendy Schuller announced the addition of Jerise Freeman and Bryce Currie to the program's coaching staff Wednesday, June 4.
Freeman and Currie will join the Eagles in time for their 2014-15 campaign.
"Jerise (pronounced Jare-is) and Bryce will be outstanding additions to the Eagle family," Schuller said. "I love their enthusiastic approach for all aspects of the game and I know they will both be great coaches and recruiters. They are quality people and extremely hard workers with a variety of experiences. We are all excited to have them on board."
An assistant coach at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas, for the last two seasons, Freeman brings a wealth of knowledge after having spent time with four different collegiate programs. She served as the team's defensive coordinator at Newman, assistant with scouting and conditioning programs while monitoring player academic progress and coordinating the team's summer camps.
Before her two-year stint at Newman, Freeman spent the 2011-12 season as the director of operations at Missouri State, coordinating team travel and film exchange. From 2008-11, she was an assistant coach at Butler Community College, serving as a recruiter while also assisting with scheduling and opponent scouting.
Freeman graduated from University of the Pacific in May of 2007 with a bachelor's degree in sociology with a focus in criminal justice. She spent the 2007-08 season as a graduate assistant with Pittsburg State and is currently working on her master's degree.
A standout player for the Tigers in her time at Pacific, Freeman earned Honorable Mention All-Big West honors as a senior in 2006-07, averaging 13.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
A Spokane native and Ferris High School graduate, Currie joins the Eagles after coaching stops at Florida Southern, Nebraska and Arizona State. He spent the 2012-13 season as an assistant coach at Florida Southern, coordinating the team's academic program while managing the booster club and working with opponent scouting, post player development and strength and conditioning.
Prior to his stay in Lakeland, Florida, Currie was a graduate assistant coach at Nebraska from 2010-12, assisting with recruiting while serving as the director of the program's individual and team camps. His first coaching stint came in Tempe, Arizona, where he spent two seasons with Arizona State's women's program as a graduate assistant. His duties included the coordination of fundraising and promotions as well as social media.
Currie spent the past season as the head coach of the girl's basketball program at Chase Middle School while volunteering with the girl's basketball program at Ferris.
Currie earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Washington in 2008, then went on to earn a master's in higher education from Arizona State in 2010. He received his second master's degree, this time in educational administration, from Nebraska in 2012.
Eastern brings back eight letter winners, including four starters, from last year's team that finished fourth in the Big Sky and advanced to the conference tournament.

|Antibacterial activity and composition of essential oils from Pelargonium graveolens L'Her and Vitex agnus-castus L.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23205247 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Essential oils are volatile compounds that have been used since Middle Ages as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, sedative, local anesthetic and food flavoring agents. In the current study, essential oils of Pelargonium graveolens L'Her and Vitex agnus-castus L. were analyzed for their antibacterial activities.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The chemical compositions of essential oils were characterized by GC-MS. Disc diffusion method was used to study antimicrobial activity.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Inhibition zones showed that the essential oils of the two plants were active against all of the studied bacteria (except Listeria monocytogenes). The susceptibility of the strains changed with the dilution of essential oils in DMSO. The pure essential oils showed the most extensive inhibition zones and they were very effective antimicrobial compounds compared to chloramphenicol and amoxicillin. The most susceptible strain against these two essential oils was Staphylococcus aureus. It seems that β-citronellol is a prominent part of P. graveolens volatile oil and caryophyllene oxide is a famous and important part of V. agnus-castus volatile oil and their probable synergistic effect with other constituents are responsible for the antibacterial effects of these oils. However further studies must be performed to confirm the safety of these oils for use as antimicrobial agents and natural preservatives in different products.

Dragon Ball is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1984 to 1995, with the 519 individual chapters published into 42 tankōbon volumes by Shueisha. Dragon Ball was inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West. The series follows the adventures of the protagonist, Son Goku, from his childhood through adulthood as he trains in martial arts and explores the world in search of the seven mystical orbs known as the Dragon Balls, which can summon a wish-granting dragon when gathered. Along his journey, Goku makes several friends and battles a wide variety of villains, many of whom also seek the Dragon Balls for their own desires. It contains themes of friendship, rivalry, personal loss and victory.

To do
? Deadhead bulbs and spring flowering perennials as blossoms fade.
? Thin seedlings before plants crowd each other.
? Plant tropical water lilies when water temperatures rise above 70 degrees.
? Apply a balanced rose fertilizer after the first show of blooms is past.
? When night temperatures stay above 50 degrees, bring houseplants outdoors for the summer. Most prefer a bright spot shaded from the afternoon sun. Check soil moisture daily.
? Apply organic mulches as the soil warms to conserve moisture, discourage weeds and enrich the soil.
? Softwood cuttings can be taken from trees and shrubs as the spring flush of growth is beginning to mature.
? Continue spraying roses with a fungicide to prevent black spot disease.
? Trees and shrubs may be fertilized before July 4.
? Pruning of spring flowering trees and shrubs should be done before month's end.
? Mow lawns frequently enough to remove no more than one-third the total height per mowing.
? Repeat plantings of corn and beans to extend the harvest season.
? Plant pumpkins.
? To minimize diseases, water with overhead irrigation early enough in the day to allow foliage to dry before nightfall.
? Control corn earworms. Apply several drops of mineral oil every three to seven days once silks appear.

At 4:30 Thursday evening, when many Sonoma County residents were tucking into a second helping of mashed potatoes, Zen?Fenton and her husband, Richard, stood outside Toys R Us on Santa Rosa Avenue waiting to shop for children with disabilities.
Fenton, who works for California Children's Services, a state program for kids with health problems, has bought presents on Black Friday for the past six years. She lamented the fact that the busiest shopping day of the year has crept into Thanksgiving.
"I think it's sad that they are starting to erase Thanksgiving," said Fenton, 43, of Santa Rosa, who was also buying for Toys for Tots. "If it wasn't for the kids, I wouldn't be here."
The Fentons were second in line when the store opened at 5 p.m., and they spent an efficient half-hour loading two carts full of Legos, board games and toy cars before heading home to have a late Thanksgiving dinner.
Others spent much more time waiting in lines and fighting mostly well-behaved crowds hoping to take advantage of offers, such as $79 high-definition TVs, designed to entice shoppers away from Thanksgiving dinners and into stores even earlier than in years past.

Steve Poltz With Roy Ruiz Clayton

- Age limit 21+
- Categories Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Soul / R&B, Acoustic
- Cost $16 - $18
Above: Promotional photo of musician Steve Poltz
Steve Poltz has a distinctive style of songwriting that has caused the world to offer up its stages, clubs, and alleys. Poltz' sound is entirely unique- from his inhuman fingerstyle techniques to the inimitable melodies that roll from his guitar like cool waterfalls, you know a Poltz song as soon as you hear it.
To see Steve to perform live is one of the most entertaining shows a human could ever see. His live shows have captivated audiences far and wide with a mix of singing, storytelling, shredding, and the occasional spoken word rants which have been known to incite riots. He can take an audience from laughter to tears and back again in the space of the same song. Steve Poltz transcends the word "talented." He is unforgettable in all the right ways.

|Expression of interleukin-6 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes and effects of fluid-induced shear on this expression in normal human chondrocytes in vitro.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8618168 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|This study tested the effect of fluid-induced shear on interleukin-6 expression in normal human articular chondrocytes in vitro. As determined by Northern blot analysis, interleukin-6 mRNA expression occurs in chondrocytes from osteoarthritic cartilage but not in normal chondrocytes. Applying fluid-induced shear stress to primary high density cultures of chondrocytes increased interleukin-6 mRNA signal 4-fold at 1 hour and 10 to 15-fold at 48 hours compared with unsheared control cultures. At 48 hours, fluid-induced shear stress increased interleukin-6 protein levels in the culture medium 9 to 10-fold compared with unsheared controls. mRNA signals for interleukin-1alpha, interleukin-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in RNA from sheared or control chondrocytes were not detected by Northern blotting. Transforming growth factor-beta mRNA signal was detectable but was not affected by shear. In contrast, human lung fibroblasts (WI-38) responded to fluid-induced shear with increased signal for transforming growth factor-beta, but not interleukin-6, mRNA. Both cell types did respond to interleukin-1alpha with increased interleukin-6 mRNA signal. These data demonstrated that distortional forces, such as fluid-induced shear stress, alter interleukin-6 levels in normal chondrocytes in vitro and suggest that increased interleukin-6 expression in osteoarthritic cartilage may result, in part, from alterations in the mechanical loading of the tissue.

|Pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with slow-flow vascular malformations.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21173318 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension in asymptomatic patients with 2 types of extensive slow-flow vascular malformations: extensive venous malformations or Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS).
DESIGN: Case-control.
SETTING: Multidisciplinary center for vascular anomalies. Patients A consecutive sample of 32 patients with slow-flow vascular malformations of at least 15% of the body surface was identified retrospectively and matched by age and sex with 32 healthy controls. Interventions Standard 2-dimensional transthoracic Doppler echocardiography. Venous samples were obtained the same day that echocardiography was performed.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was determined. Levels of D-dimer, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor (vWF) in plasma were measured.
RESULTS: Patients had a mean (SD) PASP that was significantly higher than that of healthy controls (42.16 [8.49] mm Hg in patients vs 27.69 [6.54] mm Hg in healthy controls; P < .001). No significant differences in PASP were found between patients with KTS and patients with venous malformations (P = .80). We observed significant differences in the mean (SD) levels of vWF between patients and healthy controls (124.41% [52.28%] in patients vs 92.69% [28.92%] in controls; P = .01) and also in levels of D-dimer (1032.99 [1367.0] ng/mL in patients vs 102.97 [29.39] ng/mL in healthy controls; P < .001). There was a moderate positive correlation between levels of vWF and levels of PASP (r = 0.42; P = .001) and a high positive correlation between D-dimer and PASP (r = 0.52; P < .001)
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with extensive slow-flow vascular malformations is not an isolated feature but is relatively frequent. Levels of D-dimer correlate with PASP in these patients.

Featured Client Testimonial
"As a non-native English speaker, I have been using Arch Editing for almost four years. They have edited dozens of my undergraduate and graduate papers, including my master's thesis, as well as cover letters and résumés. I recently applied to a photography program at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and as part of the application process I had to write various essays. With the help of Arch Editing I was able to turn in a very strong application and was admitted into the program! I've had dozens of editors throughout my college career, but Arch Editing is by far the best editing services I've ever used. Not only are their services inexpensive but they will give you personalized help with all your editing problems and great feedback on your work." Jendar Morales, Museum Educator, Louis Armstrong House Museum, New York, NY.
Self-Publishing Services
New! Self-Publishing Services are now available!
If you're new to self-publishing, you probably have some questions and reservations. The stigma that once accompanied self-publishing is starting to fade, and authors have more options than ever before when it comes to getting their work in front of an audience. But the ability to write a book doesn't necessarily indicate the ability to create a book, and that's why we offer support for authors during every step of the publishing process. Click here to find out how Arch Editing can help make your self-publishing dreams a reality.
Writing Resource Center
Arch Editing Writing Guides
As part of our commitment to bring you quality and affordable writing resources and support, Arch Editing will be releasing a series of supplemental writing guides in the coming months.
If you're a student, sooner or later you're going to be asked to write a research paper, a report, an argument, or an analysis. Many students stress over midterms only to survive and immediately dread final projects. As a tutor, an instructor, and a friend I've been guiding students through the worst of their writing fears for the past ten years, and I wanted to write a book that would address the most basic misunderstandings about academic writing. This is a short, supplemental text for anybody who wants to be a stronger writer in high school, college, or beyond.
The Triumphal Writing Blog
When Roman Emperors returned home victorious from battle, they marched underneath an enormous structure called the Triumphal Arch. For the Romans an arch symbolized civilization, for on the support of the arch they built their finest edifices, which enabled them to build their empire.
At Arch Editing we see ourselves as a similar support. You are the writer, you are the creator, and we provide the support and resources for you to build your finest work. In our blog you'll find writing and publishing tips, book reviews, inspiration, grammar help and tutorials to assist you on your writing journey. We hope as you read our blog you'll feel free to comment, make suggestions, ask questions and share your own experiences. We want to build up a community of writers, editors, publishers and readers, and your voice is important to us!

CHICAGO - A former competitive ice skating coach was taken into federal custody Monday to begin serving a 14-year prison sentence for possessing child pornography. This sentence resulted from an investigation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Edward Bernas, 63, of Mundelein, Ill., pleaded guilty in October to using his personal computer in 2007 and 2008 to store child pornography. In February 2008, Bernas possessed at least 500 still images and 15 videos of child pornography on his computer, including images of children engaged in explicit sexual conduct. The children depicted in these images and videos were actual children who were had been exploited and/or molested.
Bernas, formerly of Naperville, Ill., coached children in competitive ice skating in Downers Grove in the 1980s. He was convicted in DuPage County Circuit Court in 1985 of criminal sexual abuse and indecent liberties with a child, and was sentenced to two years' probation. A victim in that case testified at his federal sentencing that Bernas earned her trust, lured her into his home and molested her.
While imposing the 168-months federal prison sentence on April 19, U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer told Bernas that sexual interest in "young girls has been part of your life for decades." Bernas was also sentenced to serve five years of supervised release following his prison sentence. Judge Pallmeyer ordered Bernas to return to court April 25, where she ordered restitution paid to an identified victim whose images were stored on his computer.
Bernas faced a mandatory minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 20 years in prison. He must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for release. There is no parole in the federal prison system.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Marny M. Zimmer, Northern District of Illinois, prosecuted this case.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

It has been a hectic summer. At the beginning of the season we'd said – this summer we're just going to take it easy and hang out in the garden. We sure spent a lot of time in the garden, but I'm not sure how well we did on the taking it easy part.
The past month has been spent madly harvesting, canning, drying, preserving, cooking, bagging, freezing and eating the spoils from the garden. It has been incredibly gratifying and completely exhausting. I have one, maybe two, more batches of tomatoes to can and a couple of bags of peppers to string up to dry and that will be the end of it.
It will not be, however, the end of the work in the garden.
If you're anything like me – by this point in the gardening cycle you're ready to curl up on the couch with the cat and some knitting and not so much as look at another weed for at least 6 months. Unfortunately this is no time to succumb to the couch. My garden needs my attention for just a little while longer.

Danica Patrick speaks to a technician before taking practice laps at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Friday, June 21, 2013, in Sonoma, Calif.

After a great week in Northern California, covering the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on the road course at Sonoma Raceway, there was a breaking news item that turned opinions, everywhere, sideways faster than a spin on worn-out race tires.
Before we dealt with Saturday night's rainout, followed by Matt Kenseth's fourth victory of 2013 on Sunday at Kentucky Speedway in the Quaker State 400, there was a classic gem of an interview given by Fox Sports/TNT race analyst Kyle Petty.

A former Perry County Circuit Judge pleads not guilty to 36 counts of mail fraud.
Former Judge Doug Combs is accused of using money from the administrative office of the courts for personal use while in office from January 1997 until about May 2003.
The man who once presided over criminal cases now finds himself on the other side of the bench.
Less than three months ago he pleaded guilty in state court to driving under the influence.
Now, two years after resigning his post amid misconduct allegations he's in federal court.
An indictment accuses former Perry County Circuit Judge Doug Combs of scheming against the administrative office of the courts to get money for himself and others by making false promises.
For instance, Combs is accused of hiring temporary workers for his office and paying them with money from the AOC, designated for substitute court reporters.
The problem is, the indictment says numerous people were hired as court reporters who were not only unqualified for the job but never actually did the job.
Combs is also accused of using the substitute court reporters, to quote "Free up his permanent staff to perform work on his personal profit-based business" which is a mobile home park, as well as to do personal tasks like driving him to the doctor.
However, Combs attorney says it's not the first time he's heard these allegations.
"I saw the indictment and I'm confident that there's not any allegations that have not already been reviewed by the judicial retirement board," Combs said.
The indictment lists these accusations as mail fraud charges, because the request for payment of these alleged fraudulent services were sent by U.S. Mail to the administrative office of the courts in Frankfort.
Combs was publicly reprimanded by the judicial conduct commission in 2004 and in 2005 he was listed as one of "America's worst judges" by Reader's Digest.
Combs now faces up to 20 years in prison and a 250-thousand dollar fine.
His trial is set for February 12th at the federal courthouse in Frankfort.

Five candidates have applied to the open seat on the Monroe City Council.
The Precinct 3 seat became available when Christopher Bica announced his resignation after moving out of the precinct.
Mayor Robert E. Clark said council is working to select a date to host interviews with the candidates, which will likely take place later this month.
The council wanted to have interviews conducted and a candidate selected by Monday's regular council meeting, but the plans have been delayed.
"Once we get a date set and conduct the interviews, we would hopefully have the new person in place for the first council meeting in August," Mayor Clark said.
The candidates are:
■ Willie Austin, 614 Conant Ave.
