National news in brief, 6/27
Some raise concerns over voting decision
COLUMBIANA, Ala. — Much has changed in Shelby County since Congress passed the 1965 Voting Rights Act to protect minority rights at the polls, but much hasn't.
The county — which successfully challenged one of the law's key provisions before the U.S. Supreme Court — has grown exponentially in the past five decades, yet its racial balance has remained roughly constant with whites constituting an overwhelming majority of the population.
In 2010, Shelby County lawyers filed suit arguing the standards of the 1960s aren't relevant when it comes to which states and localities deserve strict federal oversight for any changes to election practices. The case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled Monday a group of mostly Southern states no longer had to seek Justice Department approval of such electoral changes.
Some black residents are now wary of what might come next, including the lone black holding a countywide office, Republican Aubrey Miller.
"It's a premature burial of the Voting Rights Act," said Miller, the county school board president. "This essentially kills the law."
Congressman likely to be a quiet leader
MEDFORD — Democrat Edward Markey, who's served 37 years in the U.S. House, is preparing to make the leap to the Senate after winning Massachusetts' special election to fill the seat left vacant by John Kerry's resignation to become secretary of state.
Throughout his career in Congress, Markey has taken a methodical, behind-the-scenes approach to lawmaking, typically leaving the limelight to others.
Speaking to reporters before greeting breakfast diners at a restaurant in a Boston suburb Wednesday morning, Markey called his win over Republican newcomer Gabriel Gomez "gratifying."
Markey captured 55 percent of the vote compared with 45 for Gomez, a businessman and former Navy SEAL.
Markey credited the success to his positions on issues like gun control and abortion rights, arguing he was more in step with the majority of voters in Massachusetts.
Testing on chimps comes to a halt
WASHINGTON — It's official: The National Institutes of Health plans to end most use of chimpanzees in government medical research.
The NIH announced Wednesday that it will retire about 310 government-owned chimpanzees from research over the next few years, and keep only 50 others essentially on retainer — available if needed for crucial medical studies that could be performed no other way.
The decision was long expected, after the prestigious Institute of Medicine declared in 2011 nearly all use of chimps for invasive medical research no longer can be justified. Much of the rest of the world already had ended such research.

Department of Transportation workers last week erected a black chain link fence on the south side of Tennessee Street, from near Brevard Street east to Woodward Avenue. It's intended to supplement a median barrier to be installed next month to keep jaywalkers from crossing Tennessee Street in mid-block to reach FSU.

Don't get your hopes up. That new fence on West Tennessee Street by Florida State University doesn't replace a planned median "barrier." It's just a supplement to the barrier.
But the eventual barrier may not be as bad as feared.

Gessler spoke with 9NEWS anchor Kyle Clark on Tuesday, the same day Gessler and Attorney General John Suthers sent letters to the Department of Homeland Security requesting access to federal immigration records.
Gessler and Suthers, both Republicans, want to compare the federal database to Colorado's voter rolls, specifically 5,000 voters who showed a non-citizen identification card to get a driver's license when they also registered to vote.
"I want to make sure we have accurate voter rolls," Gessler said. "I'm not interested in throwing people in jail. I'm not interested in a witch hunt."
The letters make clear that Colorado will consider suing the federal government for the records, as Florida recently did, if they are not provided in time to check the voting rolls ahead of November's election.
Gessler's opponents, largely from the political left, charge that he is out to purge voting rolls, and that his actions will disenfranchise legitimate voters and intimidate minorities into staying away from the polls.
"I think they're willing to take a see no evil, hear no evil approach," Gessler said. "They're trying to use this issue for political purposes."
Gessler brushed off suggestions that he is attempting to purge likely Democratic voters.
"That's crazy talk," Gessler said. "When people try and attack your integrity, when people attack your motivations, that's a very clear sign they're losing the argument."
Gessler acknowledges he doesn't have a stack of confirmed cases of voter fraud, but he points to 430 cases where non-citizens self-identified their presence on the voting rolls and asked to be removed.
Letters provided by Gessler's office and reviewed by 9NEWS show non-citizens apologizing, often in broken English, for mistakenly ending up on the voting rolls when they registered for a driver's license as a resident alien.
"What it shows is that we don't have a system in place to properly screen people to make sure only eligible voters are voting," Gessler said.

Napoli will have home advantage for the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg on Wednesday, but Roma boss Rudi Garcia believes his side's one-goal advantage should be enough to see them through.
Roma won 3-2 in the Olympic Stadium last week but Garcia said on Tuesday: "Napoli are strong, but they can also ship goals. We saw that in our two previous games against them."
It will be the third time the two have faced each other this season, with Roma holding the advantage, having also won their Italian Serie A encounter 2-0 in October.
"We have the advantage but we won't sit back on it," Garcia added. "We will play our own game and play to win, even though it will be hard in the San Paolo."
Napoli have had a day longer to recover from their weekend fixture, a comfortable 3-1 win over AC Milan, while Roma played out a gruelling 0-0 draw in the Rome derby against Lazio.
"It will be our third match (in ten days), but it will be their fourth, we'll see which team is physically better equipped."
The previous week, Roma saw their game against Parma abandoned due to a waterlogged Olympic Stadium pitch, while Napoli played, and lost 3-0, to Atalanta in Bergamo.

I'm pretty much convinced by Vernam Hull's argument that "deiltre =
druid gods" is an error. It makes perfect sense to read this line,
which can be read on line at ISOS*, exactly as it is written:
"acht nis�leig in deiltre .i. in d� draideachta i tir"
= but the deiltre, i.e. the magical smoke/vapor/steam/haze, did not
allow them to land
* http://www.isos.dias.ie/ > LS 23 P 2 (Leabhar M�r Leac�in) f. 191v a
In other words, the druids raised a mist/fog/smoke screen that obscured
the shore and caused the fleet to lose its way. The topos of the "ceo
dra�ochta", the "magic mist", is quite common in our literature. It's
also normal in the literature for the druids, rather than their gods,
to attack their foes directly with their magical powers.

Father of shot 4-year-old arrested
BATON ROUGE - BRPD arrested a father whose infant was killed Wednesday morning from an apparent self-inflicted shot to the head.
Authorities arrested Shawn Dean, 26, 2944 Iroquois St. and charged him with 2nd degree cruelty to a juvenile and felon in possession of a firearm.
Investigators believe Dean left a handgun accessible in his residence and that his 4-year old son accidentally shot himself in the head with it while the mother was asleep.
Police believe Dean was out on an errand at the time and hid the gun before police arrived.
Police say the gun was found hidden in a field near the home. The investigation is continuing.

Nidal Malik Hasan was two men.
One was the proud Army major who wore battle fatigues to mosque; the other, the proud Arab who wore Muslim garb in civilian life.
What brought Hasan's identities into fatal conflict was his belief that Iraq and Afghanistan were unjust wars, and his shock that he, a Muslim, was to be sent to serve in one of those wars, against fellow Muslims -- a sin against Allah meriting damnation.
Hasan was conflicted by a dual loyalty -- to the country he had sworn to protect, and to his perceived duty as a Muslim. When Hasan told his neighbor that morning, "I am going to do good work for God," the call of jihad overrode his oath of loyalty as an American soldier.
Hasan proceeded to shoot, wound or kill 44 U.S. soldiers, and die on what he saw as the side of right, the side of Islam, against America. "Allahu Akbar!" -- "God is great!" -- Hasan shouted as he began firing.
An Internet posting by "Nidal Hasan" compared suicide bombers to medal-of-honor winners who throw themselves on grenades to save fellow soldiers. Hasan had decided to become a suicider for Allah.
Though this was an act of treachery against his fellow soldiers, of treason in wartime, of terrorism and mass murder, Hasan must have seen himself as a hero and martyr.
Few ever commit atrocities like this. But conflicts in identities and loyalties are common in the cauldrons of war.
"Let none but Americans stand guard tonight," said Washington at Valley Forge. Irish Catholics deserted the Union army to fight beside Mexican Catholics in the San Patricio battalion against what they thought was American aggression. Honored today by Mexico, the San Patricios were hanged when captured by Winfield Scott's army.
In Scott's march to Mexico City was Robert E. Lee. The hero of Buena Vista was Col. Jefferson Davis, who had married the daughter of his commanding officer, future President Zachary Taylor. Davis went on to serve in the Cabinet of Franklin Pierce and the U.S. Senate.
Yet, in 1861, Davis and Lee would depart the service of their country to wage war against the United States on behalf of their new nation and the kinfolk to whom they belonged and whom they believed had a right to be free of the Union. Were they traitors -- or patriots?
This is not to compare the deeds of the San Patricios, Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, all of whom declared themselves openly and fought heroically and honorably, with the crimes of Maj. Hasan.

Shawn Reilly takes Waukesha's mayoral seat
He easily defeats Scrima with 62 percent of the vote
For the second straight election, Waukesha's incumbent mayor has lost to the challenger.
And this one wasn't even close.
Challenger Shawn Reilly defeated Jeff Scrima in Tuesday's general election to become Waukesha's new mayor. Reilly, a longtime attorney in downtown Waukesha, had also won the four-person primary in February.
The general election result was similar to four years ago, when Scrima easily defeated Larry Nelson to become the city's new mayor after receiving 58 percent of the vote.
But four years later, voters made Scrima a one-term mayor as Reilly received 5,899 (62 percent) to Scrima's 3,642 (38 percent).
"I'm overjoyed," Reilly said Tuesday night. "I'm very happy and very grateful for those who supported me during my campaign."
Reilly said he believes the margin was so large because of his position on supporting the city's Great Lakes water application, his 22 years of experience as a municipal attorney, and the support he received from former Waukesha mayors and a majority of the Common Council.
Reilly will be sworn in as Waukesha's newest mayor during the April 15 Common Council meeting.
In a statement, Scrima said "We ran a positive campaign, and I am thankful for my family, supporters, and everyone who came out to vote. We are proud of what we have achieved the past four years, and still want Waukesha to continue this upward trajectory."
Joining him at City Hall will be local attorney Brian Running, who won the city attorney race Tuesday over Plan Commissioner and former Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Rick Congdon.
Running garnered 5,195 votes or 60 percent of the vote, compared to Congdon's 3,452 or 40 percent. Congdon had won a three-person primary in February.
Running is replacing longtime city attorney Curt Meitz, who is retiring after a near 30-year career as the city's attorney.
Alderman Andy Reiland retained his District 13 seat on the Common Council as he defeated challenger Dean Lemke with 583 votes to 309. Reiland's seat is for three years.
Other aldermen who were re-elected Tuesday night were Eric Payne (District 2), Christopher Hernandez (District 3), Peter Bartels (District 5), Adam Jankowski (District 6), Daniel Manion (District 7) and Steve Johnson (District 10). They were all running unopposed.
It appears the balance of power has shifted on the Town of Waukesha Board as Jim Radke and Michael Doerr won supervisor's seats Tuesday.
Radke, a business owner and vice president of a trucking company, defeated the incumbent Joe Banske, 1,171 to 1,098 votes. Banske had been a supervisor since 2010, when he won a recall election.
Doerr, an area manager at AT&T, beat former Town of Waukesha Chairwoman Angie E. Van Scyoc, 1,205 to 1,072. Van Scyoc lost the town chairman's election last year to John Marek. Doerr replaces Supervisor Mike Laska, who was not seeking re-election.
Radke and Doerr now join Chairman Marek and supervisors Brian Fischer and Larry Wolf on the town board.

The man charged with murder in connection to the death of a Pike County sheriff's deputy pleads not guilty.
David Wayne Childers appeared in Friday afternoon. Police say he caused a wreck that killed Deputy James Thacker last month.
Thacker's family and friends faced Childers in court. The commonwealth's attorney did not allow them to speak on camera, but they told us they want justice for loved one's death.
Family, friends and co-workers of the late James I. Thacker packed the Pike County Courtroom. The family wanted to see the man they claim took their husband, father, son, and brother.
Police say on January 23rd, David Wayne Childers crossed the center line on US-460 and hit Thacker's cruiser head on. He died at the scene.
Police say they found drug paraphernalia in Childers' SUV.
A grand jury indicted him on murder and persistent felony offender charges.
"Through your attorney, you waive formal arraignment and enter a plea of not guilty. You're going to be held without bond," Judge Steven Combs told Childers in court.
Thacker's family told us they are still grieving and feel like Childers showed no remorse in court.
Childers defense attorney did not comment on the case. The commonwealth's attorney also declined to comment.
Judge Steven Combs said he will consider bond if the defense attorney files a written motion.
A pre-trial conference for the case is scheduled for April 27.

Life After Innocence
Life After Innocence Annual Luncheon
A Conversation with Amanda Knox
Dec. 3, 2015
Kasbeer Hall
25 East Pearson Street, Chicago
Amanda Knox, whose case drew international attention over a seven-year period, was exonerated in March 2015 by the Italian Supreme Court. She currently works as a writer and lives in Seattle. Her book, Waiting to be Heard: A Memoir, was published in 2013. Knox is active in the innocence movement and will join us at Loyola to discuss her experiences and work advocating on behalf of others wrongfully convicted.
Your attendance and donation will support Loyola University Chicago's Life After Innocence, which advocates for innocent people released from prison, helping them reenter society, clear their records and start their lives over.
Mission Statement
Life After Innocence advocates for innocent people adversely affected by the criminal justice system, helping them reenter society and enabling them to reclaim their rights as citizens, through individualized legal and support services and wider-reaching public policy initiatives.
Clinic Description
A number of innocence projects work around the country (and the world) to free those in prison for crimes they did not commit. However, there are fewer, if any, resources for persons once exonerated. Life After Innocence at Loyola University Chicago follows up with such exonerees to offer guidance, pro bono legal services and additional support on all levels. Students and faculty work with recent exonerees to obtain expungement of their records, find housing, search for employment, obtain counseling, procure identification, teach computer and cell phone skills, obtain medical treatment, aid in gaining Certificates of Innocence, and work with money managers to deal with any state funds or civil verdicts received after release.
Life After Innocence student members attend weekly group meetings, and are required to sign an agreement indicating that they will provide weekly billing to account for time devoted to the clinic and will continue after the semester, on their own time, any projects not completed during the semester.
To read about the triumphs and struggles of exonerees nationwide, visit our blog.

I am looking for a dress just like this pattern EXCEPT "I would like it fitted and to stop right below the knee". I need to make it this weekend. I am not VERY experienced but I'm somewhat of a intermediate sewer. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice before I attempt this. I can't afford to waste material.

Theresa's review gave some recommendations for saving fabric on this pattern but made no other changes.
Once you make it fitted, it will be a completely different dress. What do you like about this pattern exactly and maybe we can find another that will match what you are looking for.

I'm looking for the sort of batwing dress style with the wide sleeves. The sleeves are the same length of the dress and cut rounded (like a half moonhalf circle). Make sense? I might have to find a pict
Search 'cocoon dress' and 'cocoon batwing' dress. You'll pull up some pictures to get you started in the right direction.
Then narrow your searches down to 'cocoon dress pattern' and 'cocoon batwing dress pattern'. I did see a vintage pattern pull up under the 'cocoon batwing dress pattern'. search that should a sheath dress with a jacket. It was the jacket that fit the bill, McCall's vintage 3562, in illustrating that you may want folds across the shoulder and upper arm area to achieve the sleeve effect and still be able to fit the dress close to the body.
Do you have the confidence to morph new V8763 into your desired design. Added sleeves and a slight reduction of fullness from the hipline or from just above the hipline?
Or, add sleeves to V1238 and sculpt a bit of the lowest butteryfly inset. You could leave the lower straight part alone, start at the bottom edge of the section above, radius in to the next seam and then radius back out to the original cutting point of the seam above to retain the fullness their to tie in with your added on sleeve.
V1284 is a very crude version of what you are going for. But, you may find it easier to add in instead of taking out. Or you could use something like this as a guide for your sleeves.
If none of the morphing is comfortable for you, consider a slip dress with a longer cocoon overlay. Or, a body shaping slip from the lingerie department, a simple sewn unlined skirt that mimics and skims the lines of the shaping slip and then your cocoon tunic on top.
Wish I knew more about your fabric.
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
Try Burda, it seems like they had some patterns like this (the printed pattern are viewable on Simplicity's site).
Can you lengthen V1261?
------Taking in is happier than letting out.

I looked in my copy of Adele Margolis' wonderful "Make Your Own Dress Patterns" and pp 382-385 show you how to make kimono/batwing sleeves with a regular bodice front, back and sleeve pieces.
I can't access my camera right now but it says:
- Place the bodice patterns so the shoulder seams touch at the neckline but are 1/2 in apart at the armhole
- Fold back the sleeve cap and place the pattern so the underarm is equal distances to the bodice armholes at the side seams (so you are making a sideways T shape)
- Trace all the pieces, making the curve you want at the intersection of the armholes.
You have to watch out for the underarm curve you are going to create. If it's very close to the original pattern shapes, you might need a gusset just to be able to raise your arms.
Will try to get photos up tomorrow but see if you can't find this page on the Amazon Look Inside feature. It's p 385. Good luck! -- Edited on 4/11/12 5:42 PM --
------Morphology: Petite at 1m53 (5'), Burda size altered 19 or altered 38, Big 4 size 10 or 12 depending on ease;
Alterations: Petite, Narrow Shoulders, Slim Arms, Narrow waist, Increase Back Crotch Depth. Considering: Forward Neck/Rounded Upper Back, Slight Swayback;

I don't think that you can successfully make this fitted. Certainly and not sew it this weekend! I don't know exactly what you are looking for but you'd be better off to keep looking for a different pattern.

Making Sen$e with Paul Solman
Left Behind by the Recovery, Inner City Teens Struggle to Find Jobs
The jobs report for June 2013 found that among teens alone, the jobless rate was almost 25 percent -- more than three times the rate for the nation as a whole. Economics correspondent Paul Solman talks to young people struggling in their search for work in his report on the bleak job picture for inner city youth.

The end-of-year is sneaking up on again and proof is the fact that our Christmas issue is out today.
Glen Proebstel's stunning story on festive table dressings is one of many highlights.
There are several guest-pleasing variations shown, all beautifully photographed by Sharyn Cairns.
There's also Vanessa Colyer Tay's gift-wrap feature, which is bound to inspire anyone who wants to personalise presents and even cause gift-opening delay (these ideas are too nice to rip into).
One of my favourite stories is on expat Australians and how they spend Christmas in their adopted countries.
Our ex-designer Grace Lee is in Tokyo, where she is based as a freelance illustrator. And yes, locals do ask her "if Santa Claus rides a surfboard in Australia". (Also, major congrats to Grace, who currently has her work on show at Tokyo Designers Week, as part of the Arigato Project!)
Also featured is Julie Anne Quay, who is the founding member of the Australians in New York Fashion Foundation. "The two Christmases we have had in New York have been very wintry occasions – window-shopping trips on Fifth Avenue and old-style lunches at the Metropolitan Club," she says.
And Rachel Bajada, who runs her French For Foodies blog from Paris.
And while snowfall is not guaranteed in Australia, one way to ensure a white Christmas is by making the edible snowflakes from this recipe feature by Martin Benn, of Sydney's renowned Sepia restaurant. His cocoa-based artistry also extends to chocolate baubles, leaves and other gorgeous holiday-themed sweets.
And there are plenty of home stories … We're lucky enough to be invited to spend time at the home of local fashion designer Fleur Wood.
And the sun-dazed, summer-perfect home of Mark and Louella Tuckey is so charming that we had to make it our cover story.
And we head overseas to the Rome home of designers Paolo Giacomelli and Roberta Paolucci.
There are also recipes by the in-demand crew at Porteno, Phoebe McEvoy's gift guide featuring 100 must-give presents (you even have a chance to win every pictured item), holiday decorating essentials and shortcuts and a lot more. You can get a headstart on all your Christmas prep and find the issue on your newstands today.

p.s. Lee I loved the miss jones penguin you had in your mag a few issues back, so much that I saved for it, hunted for it and found it and now it's sitting on my desk making me smile I stuck up a pic of it!

631 E State St, Jefferson City, MO 65101, USA (
Jefferson City
Missouri State Penitentiary
This prison opened in 1836 and seemingly underwent expansion ever since. In 1888, it was named the largest prison in the world. The facility promoted growth for Jefferson City through economy and prison labor. Riots in the 1950s and a series of assaults in the early 1960s gained the prison a notorious reputation around the United States as one of the country's most violent prisons. It was decommissioned in October of 2004 and the inmates were moved to a new facility and over the subsequent years, the grounds have undergone some demolition, redevelopment and new construction. Before the decommissioning, the prison was known as the oldest continuously operated prison west of the Mississippi River. In its 168-year history, the penitentiary played host to various notorious criminals.
Lee "Stagger Lee" Shelton
On December 25, 1895, Lee Shelton would shoot and kill William "Billy" Lyons in a tavern in Saint Louis, Missouri (see
The Bill Curtis Saloon
). The crime would become the basis for the immensely popular murder ballad
Stagger Lee
. It took two trials, but the prosecutors were finally able to convict him and he entered the Missouri State Penitentiary on October 7, 1897. He was credited for helping prison officials capture a "
systematic thief
" and also had the support of several powerful Democrats in the state, which ultimately led to him being paroled around Thanksgiving of 1909. However, a little more than a year later, he would be convicted of robbery and assault and was returned to the penitentiary on May 7, 1911. This time, Shelton was sick with tuberculosis. After an attempt by the standing governor to pardon him for his crimes was thwarted by the attorney general, Shelton died in the prison hospital on March 11, 1912. He was buried in an unmarked grave in Saint Louis (see
Greenwood Cemetery, Hillsdale, MO
Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd
On September 11, 1925, Charles Floyd robbed a Kroger store/warehouse in Saint Louis, Missouri. One of his victims described him as a "
pretty boy
" and the name took. So did a jail sentence. He was handed a three and a half year sentence at the Missouri State Penitentiary. Once he left the prison, he headed to Kansas City and began to rob banks regularly and his legend grew. On June 17, 1933, it was alleged that Floyd with Vernon Miller and Adam Richetti, attempted to free their friend Frank Nash from federal custody. As result, four law officers and Nash would be killed in what became known as the Kansas City Massacre. Floyd denied any role in the Massacre. However, in October of 1934, he was tracked to a farm in Clarkson, Ohio where he was killed in a shootout with law enforcement.
Sonny Liston
In 1950, Liston was convicted of armed robbery in Saint Louis and sentenced to five years in the Missouri State Penitentiary. While in the prison, Liston took up boxing under the watchful eye of the prison chaplain. He would be paroled two years later. On September 25, 1962, Liston would knock out Floyd Patterson in the first round to become Heavyweight Champion of the World. He would hold that title for two more years until February 25, 1964 when he quit in his corner against the young Cassius Clay (who would shortly thereafter take the name Muhammad Ali).
James Earl Ray
One of the more infamous inmates incarcerated in the Missouri State Penitentiary was a smalltime criminal when he came there. James Earl Ray was a no-name crook that robbed a Kroger Grocery store in 1959. He was given a habitual offender status and sentenced to 20 years at the Missouri State Penitentiary. In 1967, Ray worked in the prison's bakery and managed to fit himself in a 4x4 box. Another convict covered the box with bread and it was placed on a truck leaving the prison. A cursory search by the guards turned up nothing suspicious and the truck was sent on its way. James Earl Ray escaped the Missouri State Penitentiary on April 23, 1967. Nearly one year later, on April 4, 1968, Ray would assassinate civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee (see
National Civil Rights Museum
The Bloodiest 47 Acres in America
Throughout its history, the Missouri State Penitentiary gained a reputation for the violence that took place inside its walls. As the prison population continued to grow, more and more inmates were being housed together. By 1954, the overpopulation had grown to the point that it was not unusual to find six to eight inmates confined in a single cell. Coupled with the deteriorating state of the prison, the overcrowding led to a violent uprising on September 23 of that year. The riot began in the maximum-security "E Hall" of the prison, which housed some of the prison's more violent criminals. When order was restored, four inmates were dead, three guards and over thirty prisoners were injured, and around eight buildings were either destroyed or heavily damaged by fire. Though the riot was quelled, two more minor riots would break out a month later on October 23rd and 24th that would again cause the death of one more inmate and injure 36 others.
Its violent reputation would come to head in the 1960s when a series of violent assaults made national headlines. It has been reported that between the years of 1963 and 1964, there were around 550 separate accounts of serious assaults, including hundreds of stabbings. The violence led to outcries of lack of administrative control by the prison warden, E.V. Nash, who ironically was given control of the prison following the riots of 1954 in hopes that he would be able to restore order. The scandal led to an administrative review, which issued a report recommending removing Warden Nash from his position. On December 18, 1964, in a house directly across from the prison, E.V. Nash took his own life with a gunshot to his head. The resulting controversy led
Time Magazine
to give Missouri State Penitentiary the unfortunate moniker of the "
bloodiest 47 acres in America
" in 1967.
The Execution Chamber
Settled in the sprawling structure is one notably small, but overly ominous building. Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989. George "Tiny" Mercer had the unfortunate distinction of being the first execution in the state of Missouri after the 1977 reinstatement, following a moratorium on capital punishment in 1968. Mercer was convicted of the rape and murder of 22-year-old Karen Keeten. According to sources, officials were concerned that there might be leaks in the aged gas chamber, so Mercer's execution was carried out by lethal injection.
Demolition and Reconstruction
Following its decommissioning in October 2004, a wide variety of development plans were immediately up for consideration. In September 2007 (just months after the photos on the right were taken), those plans went into action when demolition began on various buildings inside the complex. The older, historical buildings were spared a similar fate with plans of preserving them as historic sites. The current plans call for a new federal courthouse to be built over eight acres of the cleared property, with the addition of two hotels and other office buildings. The current estimated of the project is currently set at around $153 million, which will be shared between state and federal government.
A Haunted Prison?
Perhaps not surprisingly given its notorious past, the remaining prison structures on the campus of the former Missouri State Penitentiary are slowly gaining a reputation for paranormal activity. Perhaps interestingly enough, the reports of odd or supernatural activity seem to have only emerged following the building's decommissioning. The reports have varied from sightings of apparitions to disembodied laughter or the sounds of cell doors slamming when no one is around. The reports are still quite vague in context of where the sightings are occurring or noting any in particular structure or specific witnesses. However, now that the facility is now open to the general public (see below), it is quite possible that more and more reports will emerge.
Hard Hat Tours
In May 2009, the doors of the remaining structures of Missouri State Penitentiary were reopened to the general public. The new so-called "Hard Hat Tours" takes guests on a two-hour tour of the spared prison buildings. Stops include such sites as the very cell where Sonny Liston was incarcerated during his stay at the prison, as well as the infamous execution chamber. Tour guides share the structure's history of punishment, escapes, riots, and other interesting tales from the prison's past. For more information, please visit the site below.

IcyPepsi: "Some customizability in camera app"
Sorry, I think its way more customizable than iOS. The best would be Nokia 1020's camera app.
Love the awesome S4 features. But hate its build and how thin its plastic back is.
Either ways, start copying, Apple!
Yeah.. its time for Apple to copy..
With their high noses, they would now be beating around the bushes how to copy such that no body says they copied..
dpLarry: 13mp on a tiny sensor in a phone. Huge grainy file. I'd prefer 5mp with over 2 1/2 light gathering ability.
dpLarry, did you have a look at in-depth reviews of HTC One full resolution with its Ultra Pixels and Samsung's 13Mpix tiny pixels??
Downsample the 13MPix file to 4Mpix and you'll see the difference. S4 is far better.
armanalom: i think this is a best smart phone of the world.
In fact it is. Owning it since June 2013, 3 months now. Going fantastic. Smooth and Easy.
Tazz93: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHONE!
I hate to say it, because I liked it, but the fact remains its just too fragile. The plastic body is just not up to par. I broke the LCD in my pocket purely from tension from my jeans and my leg. No contact with anything else. A hard case may help but you shouldn't need it.
Buy Nokia 3310
Cyrus A: Are samples 41 and 42, with the over-exposed crappy photos, indicative of the new and improved BSI sensor? Or is it a failure of an auto setting? I NEVER get this out of my RX100. They look to be out of a much less expensive P&S.
seriously? bad photos are mostly result of bad photography skills, not a bad camera.
Just a bit of over-exposure makes you think they are taken from a CHEAP P&S?
Wake UP!
JeffLunt: Anyone notice the folks on the right hand side of the pano seem to be coming out of a different universe. Nice effect, if that is what you are going for.
I couldn't notice any such weird phenomena.
yabokkie: I'm using an old version of ACDSee on my notebook for fast browsing and simple edit on the run. would like to buy a slightly updated version just to say I like it but the powerful new ones scare me away.
Google Picasa does a pretty good job in case of Photo Viewing.. pretty quick.. but Viewing only..
Glen Barrington: ACDSee Pro 6 is a Developer/workflow tool similar to Lightroom but is less database centric which means it's FAST. (I am moving to it from Lr) It opens dng but won't write to it
The newly released ACDSee 16 is a raw aware organizer not unlike FastStone. By RAW aware, I mean it can open and do the normal organize stuff to a raw file but it can't process it. It's code will likely be the foundation for the organizational portion of ACDSee Pro 7 when it comes out.
ACDSee Photo Editor 6 is a pretty good (but not perfect) photo editor. It offers full 16 bit editing functionality, opens raw (incl dng) and auto converts to a 16 bit, bit mapped image file.
I like ACDSee Pro 6 well enough to move to it from Lightroom and I look forward to the advancements that Pro7 will offer. I'm currently using ACDSee Photo Editor 6. It has great potential, butit needs some work.
ACDSee does do a terrible job in naming their products. Don't know why.
Agree with their product naming strategy. There was an ACDSee V6 back in 2004/5 and there is another ACDSee (Pro) 6 in 2013.
WTD: An Unholy Crap series
By the way.. what the Heck is that lady trying to do with her hands??
ACDsee Pro is a pretty good software for non-destructive type of photo development. Using it since a couple of months and it does the job pretty well unless you are a Graphics Designer and looking for extreme photo manipulation.
PolygonSandwich: Hi guys, Patrick here. Glad you like the project. Hopefully one day i'll have the time and skill to grab a large format camera and try this thing out with proper film :)
Man, it was really a nice job. I highly appreciate the initiative. Myself, I am an engineer by profession and a photographer by ambition. 3D printers are my specialty and I am very glad to know, this technology is proving to be useful for home users too.
Hugo808: You hear a lot about 3D printers these days, but this is one of the first times I've seen how useful they could be to hobbyists of all stripes. A lens mount accurate to 200 microns!
Fair play to the guy he's got a unique camera that obviously gave him a lot of pleasure to build.
I shudder to think how much the printers cost though.....
200 microns.. means 0.2mm
Some of the 3D Printers are accurate even upto 0.01mm.
ZCorporation (now 3D SYSTEMS) makes some home or office use 3D Printers too.. that we can use readily. All you need is a 3D Model.
ProfHankD: A lot of folks use 3D printing for camera parts. In fact, my MakerGear M2 is primarily for building custom camera parts, and I own & use over 100 non-native-mount lenses. I can't believe anyone would take this hack seriously. It's cute in a "steampunk" sort of way, but photographically a bad joke.
Incidentally, the adapters for getting shallow DoF on camcorders work by photographing a ground glass image... but they keep the glass moving so that the surface roughness of the glass "averages out." A speaker driver could probably vibrate it enough in a slotted holder; some adapters simply spin the glass.
as a matter of fact, 3D printing is also called RM (Rapid Manufacturing) and it is an ideal method for producing customised parts in small numbers (say, less than 100).
nice and simple
dpLarry: 13 mp on a phone with a tiny sensor is ridiculous. Who needs 13 mp on a phone?
Just a huge ugly grainy file.
ROFL.. bitter but TRUE!
Thats a commendable innovation.
Wilmark: Serious photographers hardly use crop bodies. Sigma announces lenses and take very long to deliver. 1.8 at that focal range is not really so critical - that range is of interest mainly to landscape photographers where smaller fstops are used typically. On the flip side SIgma seem to be taking advantage of an area that is completely neglected by canon and to a lesser extent by nikon. Maybe its in anticipation to the upcoming 7DII. Wonder how it would perform on a FF body - will it vignet?
What are you upto? You have posted the same comment on Peta-Pixel also.
I suspect, you're a paid poster!

We thought it might just be possible to haul a 50lb Boris bike a daunting 190km around stage 1 of the 2014 Tour de France in Yorkshire, over hill and dale, and get it back to London in 24 hours with every donation adding fire to our bellies.
It turns out that endless 17% gradients combined with 204km of riding (not the advertised 190km!) while on a 50lb bike with three gears is rather tough - but not impossible.
If only they hadn't closed the M1 on the way back we'd have done it in the allotted 24 hours and not been 40 minutes late... Thankfully the good people at Barclays bike hire who run the Boris bikes waived the £450 of fines.
Like it? Every text of "HARD65 £3" to 70070 donates £3 to Macmillan Cancer Support and massively makes this worthwhile. To donate more or less just change the number.
Thank you from the team - Andy Sloan, Dave Barker, Lewis Baguley, Pog Pattison and Dave Parkes
Special THANK YOUS to Brian Becker for his time and patience editing the film from our amateur footage, to Alan Walker for being incredibly generous letting five guys he'd never met abscond with his van and to Mark Ansell and Louise Martin from BBC Radio.
The phenomenal care provided by the nurses and staff at Macmillan Cancer Support helped both families a great deal during those long weeks and we want to raise as much money as possible to help them support others.
Be it a phonecall, a visit, a wheelchair; each and every additional intervention is a godsend to the family and friends trying to cope with the physical traumas of round-the-clock care as well as the emotional shock of the situation.
The ride is also in support of Ruth Hayllar, mum of three, who survived bowel cancer in 2011 before being diagnosed with inoperable bowel cancer again in October 2013. Please read her blog, The Pooh Stick Queen, and help raise awareness for bowel cancer. Ruth's long, brave fight ended in June 2014 and she is now at peace.
You can DONATE via Justgiving.com or by texting "HARD65" plus the amount you want to donate, e.g. "HARD65 £3" to 70070. To donate more or less just change the number. Every pound helps make a difference.
Thank you for reading.
Andy, Dave B, Lewis, Pog and Dave P

My first bike was a Yamaha 400cc, but I'm not reviewing that one. After I sold it, I wanted to get another bike which it was postponed for the usual reasons, job, marriage, etc.
Few years into my marriage the bike bug started again, now I just had to convince my wife, not an easy task as you might know. She wasn't very keen on me riding a motorcycle," to dangerous to ride"
I got transferred to Europe (Austria) because of work, and she agreed on me buying a motorcycle there, since people in Europe are more familiar sharing the roads with motorcyclists.
My furniture and car were transferred over there and when I was in the customs office filling the paperwork the person approving the importation asked me if I brought a motorcycle. I said no, he looked perplex and asked why. My answer was I'll get one here and he seemed pleased. Living in a new country and new challenges at work, kept me pretty busy, so time passed. By the time I knew which bike I wanted I was transferred back to the USA with no bike.
I moved to Texas. Since I couldn't get my bike in Austria, my wife kept her promise to let me have one. We had only one car so my options were at that time to get a car or a motorcycle. It was a no brainer for me since in Texas you basically can ride all year long. i finally I bought my motorcycle in October 2011, it was a 2009 BMW R1200RT with only 3464 miles and still under warranty, I guess living in Europe had some influence on my decision.
I couldn't have been any happier with my choice. It has almost everything, heated seats and grips, cruise control, Integral ABS brakes, ESA (Electronic suspension adjustment). It takes just a touch of a button to have 1 up, 1 up plus luggage, 2 up, normal, sport or comfort suspension. The windshield height adjusts with the touch of a button. Two sockets for plugging GPS or charging electronics, panniers and top case. Last but not least, on board computer with tons of information like temperature, miles to go on amount of fuel left in the tank, MPG, oil check, suspension setting, just to mention some.
All that wouldn't matter if the ride was rough, however that's not the case. I had my share of different motorcycle rides and nothing compares to this. It's very comfortable, it's a surprise how agile and docile it is for a heavy bike. It follows the lines without a hitch, the acceleration is amazing and it is very reliable, I guess the saying, "you get what you paid for" is true.
I use it to go back and forth to my work place. I have been in rides with friends and by myself all around the Texas Hill Country, with nice twists and ups and downs, I look for excuses to go out for a ride, like grocery shopping, going to the post office, etc. Of course I take the long way.
I have added a few things like 3M light reflectors in the panniers, a rear brake lever enlargement, an extra socket to plug a tire inflator (mine said not to use it with a can-bus system). I also added another socket to plug jump start clamps just in case since I still have the original battery. There's plenty of aftermarket accessories and you can go crazy and broke at the same time. I plan on adding a cylinder head protector and an engine protection bar in the near future.
After this bike, when the time comes, I'm sure I would not buy anything else but a BMW. It is an incredible machine.

© Copyright 2015 Jackson Progress-Argus
Jackson The City of Jackson on Wednesday was presented with the Butts County Chamber of Commerce's fourth Golden Nail Award.
The Golden Nail is awarded about once a month, traditionally to a Butts County business, that has made substantial outdoor aesthetic improvements.
On Jan. 25, the award was bestowed on the city, in recognition of its construction of the Jackson Veterans Memorial Park, at Third Street and Dempsey Avenue.
The park's presence "really makes us proud to be residents and people that work in the City of Jackson," said Cheryl Wheeler, the president of the Butts County Chamber of Commerce.
The Veterans Memorial Park was dedicated Nov. 12 in a ceremony marking Veterans Day. It includes a long granite wall with the names of Butts County residents killed in war action, and 12-inch by 12-inch carvings of the names of service members with Butts County connections. The city plans to add more carvings to the memorial each year, ahead of annual Veterans Day ceremonies at the park.
Spaces can be purchased through the city.
Jackson Mayor Wayne Phillips said the park was 18 years in the making, but its construction only began after the city acquired the property -- a small, triangular lot -- in 2010, through a donation.
"It's just a great park," Phillips said. "Our city employees did most of the work on this ... [and] they did an outstanding job."
"We've been working on this little piece of land for quite some time and we thought it would be a perfect place, and it turned out to be a perfect place," he added. "We're very proud of this and we're happy to see this award coming to us, and it's to everyone."
The Golden Nail Award, which is presented in conjunction with Mary Lee's China & Gifts, has previously gone to Big D's Discount Drugs, for its outdoor mural on Third Street; the Park Avenue C Store, for its landscaping improvements; and Sherrell Funeral Home, for its landscaping and renovations.
"I think we're all proud of how it turned out," City Clerk Lara Brewer said of the Veterans Memorial Park.
She added that the purpose of the park was "to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and their family members ... and that's truly the reason why we're here."

Mokeke joins Bafana campComment on this story
Johannesburg – Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund on Monday called up Ajax Cape Town defender Thato Mokeke to replace the injured Tsepo Masilela of Kaizer Chiefs in the squad for the African Nations Championship (Chan) which kicks off on Saturday.
"I am very happy I now have a full squad to work with," Igesund said in a statement on Monday.
"Thato is a young and very good player. We have been keeping an eye on him for quite some time and I believe he will add to the competitiveness within the squad."
Mokeke will have his first training session with the squad at their training base in Cape Town on Tuesday.
"We also need to thank coach Muhsin Ertugral and every Ajax staff member for the co-operation in assisting with the release of the player," Igesund said.
"Now the focus will be on the playing field as we continue with our preparations."
After much controversy, four Kaizer Chiefs players joined the South African football squad in Cape Town and a full complement of players attended a training session on Monday afternoon.
Itumeleng Khune, Bernard Parker, Siphiwe Tshabalala and Tefu Mashamaite joined the team ahead of Bafana's workout while Moeneeb Josephs of Bidvest Wits was also a late arrival on Monday.
An agreement was reached on Friday afternoon, between the SA Football Association and Chiefs, to release the players selected for Chan.
The parties agreed Chiefs would make the players available as previously discussed and agreed by the coaches of the national team and the club.
"Now we can focus on the job at hand. It's now all systems go," Igesund said.
"I am very humbled by the support I got from people of South Africa including the entire Safa executive headed by president Dr Danny Jordaan and CEO, Dennis Mumble.
"I also want to thank all clubs that released their players especially Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns considering their respective positions on the league log. That was a huge sacrifice."
Igesund said the team was going into the tournament with their spirits high knowing the country was behind them. – Sapa

There are real differences between 16 bit and 24 bit files, just as there are real differences between uncompressed and mp3. As with the differences between wav and mp3, 16 bit vs 24 bit is often difficult to identify by listening.
Test signals are one thing, but has anyone found any 24 bit music recording that can be successfully identified via ABX testing against a properly resample to 16 bit version of same?

I m going to see if I can borrow a fast connection to download, those files are just too big for this dial up.
As I specified before, only the 24 bit source is of interest. I know I can convert properly; possible audible differences with other conversions to 16 bit are of no value. Tests based on them on very suspect. I understand most anyone can do a proper conversion, given the necessary software, but a fuller specification of the particular process employed is desirable.
Blue printing on a black background is extremely difficult to read. Under most circumstances that kind of presentation is enough to make me very quickly decide the site is not worth the bother. I still havent figured out all the headings on this one.

Not particularly heralded out of high school, he was nevertheless named to the ACC All-Freshman team after a very solid first season. Solidly built at 6-9, 240 pounds, Thomas is not an overly impressive athlete, looking decidedly below the rim on his finishes. He brings a terrific combination of intensity, smarts and fundamentals to his position, though, competing extremely hard on every position and showing a very good feel for the game considering his age. He ran the floor hard, battled inside and made some very impressive passes throughout the week, while showing excellent awareness on the defensive end. Offensively, Thomas is primarily a back to the basket threat, even if it remains to be seen how this part of his game might translate to higher level competition. His jump-shot is very flat and he's not much of a threat outside the paint, while his lack of explosiveness makes it difficult for him to convert around the basket in traffic at times. Thomas was one of the best teammates on the squad, which made it appear that he might have a real chance to make the roster based on intangibles alone. He was constantly talking on both ends of the floor and encouraging everyone around him, seemingly possessing very strong leadership skills and a good work ethic. His upside perhaps isn't as high as some of the other players on this roster, but if he continues to polish his skill-set and can find a way to improve his versatility on both ends of the floor, he's the type of player who could emerge as a prospect later on in his career.
