A resort in Asheville, North Carolina is about to mark a century of service.
The Grove Park Inn is easing into that year-long celebration with holiday events and decorations.
That includes the Inn's annual Gingerbread House Competition.
"This makes their holiday," Grove Park Inn VP & GM Ron Morin said.
The holidays sparkle at Asheville's Grove Park Inn with lights and trees and over the top gingerbread creations.
"Twenty years ago we started a gingerbread competition that was really a regional thing. We got people from the area to bring in gingerbread houses. And over the years the quality and the competition and the excitement has just grown and now it's the National Gingerbread House Competition," Morin said.
Artists submit the gingerbread creations from across the country. One is from Loudon, Tennessee and features a realistic looking window made of sugar. It's that attention to detail that makes each one unique.
"It's incredible. You see some of these houses and you're like there is no way that can be edible. And they are," Floral Manager Andrea White said.
Her favorite is the Partridge in a Pear Tree.
"Actually every single leaf she made and put on that tree and it's just spectacular. It's amazing the detail that's in that tree," she said.
Some artists spent 500 hours on their houses.
Grove Park Inn Events Specialist David Mead explained the culinary judges are looking for specific elements.
"They're looking for creativity, precision, difficulty, consistency of theme. But there also are some requirements that they ask for and one is that it's limited to two foot by two foot," he said.
Another rule? It must be 75% gingerbread.
"The number one rule is that it has to be 100% edible. However, we do not say that it has to taste good," he said.
More than 200 artists entered.
The winner is from Cary, North Carolina.
Her creation is a detailed depiction of the three wise men. It earned the top prize of $7,500 and lots of admiration.
"She used a recipe that they call gingerbread clay. It's where they bake their gingerbread very dry and brittle and then crumble it and then mix it together with a substance where they make kind of a paste out of it," Mead said.
Oh, there is one more rule. This one is for visitors.
"Hands off!" Mead said with a laugh.
The gingerbread houses will be on display through January 2nd.
And if this gets you in the gingerbread mood, the University of Tennessee Gardens will host a gingerbread cookie making class from 10 to 11:30 Friday morning December 14th.
Children will learn how ginger root is used to create the cookie and will have the opportunity to decorate their own cookie. Students will also get to decorate a gingerbread ornament.
This class is for children ages 3 to 5. Cost is $8 for members and $12 for nonmembers. For more info, call 865-974-7151.

R1.5bn for cheaper internet accessComment on this story
Johannesburg - The Gauteng government has forked out R1.5-billion on a tender to provide cheaper internet access to the province's residents.
On Monday, the Gauteng Department of Finance announced that Altech Alcom Matomo, a subsidiary of Altron TMT, has been awarded the Gauteng Broadband Network (GBN) five-year tender.
The intention is that after the company has established the network, its ownership will be transferred to the provincial government.
According to the tender, the service provider is supposed to build, operate and maintain a provincewide broadband network that will offer broadband fibre internet access to the province's 316 government-owned buildings, 45 Thusong centres, nine economic development zones (malls, business hubs and such) and 20 priority townships.
The department said the public would be able to access free internet from these points.
The network will consist of 1 600km of high-speed fibre optics and provide coverage to 95 percent of Gauteng's population.
In two years' time, the GBN will also be responsible for providing uncapped internet connectivity in all of the province's public schools.
The e-Learning programme – co-managed by the provincial departments of finance and education – is currently being supported by two private service providers on a two-year contract. When this contract expires in 2016, the programme will be absorbed into the province's network.
This is not the first time that the provincial government has coughed up millions to roll out internet access.
In June last year, late Gauteng MEC for economic development Nkosiphendule Kolisile filed a R9-million lawsuit against his former head of department, Khulu Radebe, and head of IT Linda Canca.
Kolisile filed his application on June 24 and died on July 20 after a crash which also claimed the lives of two of his bodyguards. He was on his way to a funeral in the Eastern Cape when the tragedy struck, but the matter remains on the court roll.
In his application, Kolisile filed papers stating that Radebe and Canca were given a responsibility to start a broadband programme that would provide internet connectivity, among other services.
He said Radebe, acting on the advice and in cahoots with Canca, entered into an agreement with ECI Telecom Africa in February 2012 to implement the programme, called the Alexandra WiMax Pilot Project.
"ECI Telecom Africa would implement and test WiMax Networking Infrastructure that is capable of transmitting data, voice and video. The network infrastructure would include a self-contained network operations centre with full management capabilities," Kolisile argued.
However, in his papers, he said Radebe and Canca should have exercised reasonable care to have known that the project had no prospects of success, and that any cost incurred in the ECI Telecom agreement would have no value unless the Department of Economic Development had procured a radio frequency licence 2.6 GHZ from the Independent Communications Authority of SA.
Kolisile said that without that licence, his department suffered losses of R9 908 710.14. He wanted Radebe and Canca to reimburse the department.
Mxolisi Xayiya is the new economic development MEC.
Radebe and Canca have filed papers to defend the lawsuit against them. - The Star

Windows Phone exec leaves Microsoft for Amazon
updated 12:53 pm EDT, Thu July 12, 2012
Business Development director now directs Amazon Appstore
Microsoft's Senior Director of Windows Phone Business Development has left the software giant for online retailer Amazon. Windows Gadget News discovered yesterday that Williams' LinkedIn account lists his current position as Director of Amazon's Appstore. The move lends credence to persistent rumors that Amazon is working to develop its own smartphone for release later this year.
Williams had been with Microsoft since 1999, when he signed on to direct business development for tablet, mobile, laptop, and ultramobile PCs. For the last four years, he had been heading up business development in the Windows Phone division. He is the second Windows Phone executive to depart Microsoft for Amazon this year, after Brandon Watson -- former head of Windows Phone Developer Experience -- made the switch in February.
Amazon is widely suspected to be preparing to release its own smartphone, and the addition of executives with experience in that sector would likely help ensure a smoother launch. Recent moves by the online retailer -- such as purchasing a 3D mapping company -- have only strengthened rumors of an impending smartphone launch, and these recent personnel acquisitions will likely do the same.

A personal dive perspective
Dive Crew
We started our trip to the bottom of
the ocean at around 8 a.m. on a beautiful
morning. A rainbow in the sky gave us the
feeling that we were going to find something
interesting. As we dropped through the
darkness, all we could see outside were
fluorescent green flashes from bioluminescent
About an hour and a half
later we got to the bottom, but we didn't
land exactly where we had planned because we
had drifted with the current. We landed right
on the edge of a steep wall in the ridge.
The pilot said, "Oops.
not a very good place to land." We got
out of there and moved north in search of a
site, called Mori, that had been previously
found by Japanese scientists.
Within a few minutes we
started to see many anemones and crabs, which
are characteristic of areas surrounding
active vents. We also started to see zoarcid
fish (they look like eels) swimming around.
We found several black smokers (chimneys
belching blackened water) at this site and
stopped to sample one. The pilot accidentally
broke a piece of the sulfide chimney which
fell onto the collection basket. So there was
our first sample, and it weighed about 100
We collected two crabs but
were unable to collect any more. We took
water samples and used a slurp gun to collect
some of the bacteria that lives in this
environment. We then took temperatures at
different distances from the vent for Peter
Rona's flux experiment. Fortunately, there
was a very helpful crab that held the marker
while we were doing our work (click here). While we were doing this, a red
shrimp came to visit me at my window and
stayed there for a while.
After we were done, we
traveled further north in search of other
active sites, because the results from the
previous night's CTD (conductivity,
temperature and depth) experiments showed
that there could be an active site in that
direction. We went through areas with lava
sheets and pillars (geology terms used to
describe the form that lava takes when it
cools down). Some of the rocks had
yellow-brownish colors which indicated that
there had been hydrothermal activity and
organisms before. We started to see anemones
and crabs again and got excited. However, we
were instructed from the surface to go and
look for a transponder that didn't want to
come up (it is a device used for getting
information on the location of the submarine.
They are usually launched before the dive and
recovered after). Suddenly, Cornel (click here) and Blee (our pilot) saw several chimneys and some of
them were smoking. It was a beautiful site
much bigger than Mori. It was named Smoking
Shank (for Tim Shank, our colleague back at
Rutgers). We took some more water and gas
samples here but it was getting late. After
we were done, the pilot instructed me to drop
the weights, which allowed us to sink, and up
we went.
On deck, our reception
party greeted us with buckets full of cold
water because it was the first Alvin dive for
Cornel and myself and we had to be
appropriately baptized.
Alvin Dive 3325
Date: 29 December 1998
Location: Southern East
Pacific Rise, 14 degrees South
Pilot: Robert L. (Blee)
Port observer: Cornel De

(CNN) - Exercise can lengthen your life, even if you're overweight or obese.
Researchers from the National Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School analyzed studies of more than 630,000 people.
They found that regular, moderate-intensity exercise can boost life expectancy even with an unhealthy BMI, or body mass index.
On the flip side, the doctors say healthy-weight people who don't exercise had about three fewer years of life.
This team of doctors say people should get at least two and a half hours of moderate to vigorous exercise each week

Fanart Fanatic -「redjuice」
I've returned from my month-long NaNoWriMo hiatus (with only half a novel) and a new project to take on! I haven't watched the latest episodes of K yet, but I am planning to drop the series in order to blog about something I love much more, and that is fanart. Come on, there doesn't seem to be a comeback from Misaki and Saruhiko, and so my K viewing has dwindled slightly. Plus, I'm making sure that I'll have time to watch season 5 of Hetalia! Those new character designs are beyond gorgeous. Whatever the case is, it is my honor to introduce you to one of the most talented artists I have found, redjuice! If his art looks familiar, it's because he's the character designer/official artist for Guilty Crown (who would've known? That art is beautiful, no matter how horrible the plot.) His art is just brimming with sharp detail and vibrant colors that it's hard to really take in the full brevity of his artwork. Here, I'll show you some of my favorites and hopefully, you'll see what he's one of pixiv's most popular artists. (All images are clickable – click for full size!)
I suppose I'll start off the discussion with redjuice's connection with Guilty Crown. If you downloaded/bought any of EGOIST's albums, you'll notice the gorgeous album art – done by redjuice. In fact, he was the original character designer for Guilty Crown, but I bet that animators would have a field day trying to animate every last bit of redjuice's spectacular art. Nevertheless, Guilty Crown's animation is already very impressive so I think redjuice's art is best left in its true form and not in an anime style. You'll notice that he enjoys drawing Inori a lot, but redjuice once mentioned that Tsugumi's cat ears were actually his decision, and because the animating team didn't have any objections to it, he left his own personal touch in the anime. Nevertheless, Guilty Crown's character designs really are impressive and redjuice's creativity really does shine through in them – plus, he really knows his mecha.
What strikes me most about redjuice's art is how vibrant and realistic his characters are. Though I lean towards his painted and anime-styled art more, you can find a lot of great realistic art on redjuice's pixiv as well. Whatever the case is, he really knows how to make art pop and his shading is especially impressive, taking away the flat quality that many other artists have. Even if the character designs and elegant anatomy don't sway you, the backgrounds he creates for his art are eye-popping and colorful. Whether it's modern deco-art or a mirror-like surface, redjuice knows how to pair characters with settings and doesn't make it too clashing for the eyes. If anything, redjuice really knows how to pair colors and patterns together nicely.
If I had any one criticism on redjuice's art, it would be that his own art style is too volatile. He can't just stick to one style; one day he creates this beautiful, vibrant piece that's full of life, the next he goes back to flat cell-shading and a different anatomy. Then again, he may just be playing around with new styles and it certainly boosts his creativity credentials, but it just made finding artwork suitable for this post that much harder. Plus, he really likes drawing busty, slightly lesbian girls – but I guess all male artists do, in some way. Even so, redjuice is one of those artists who's skill is so high up into the stratosphere you can't help but admire him. Check out his gallery for more of his work!

Carol Richter was out for a walk with her chihuahua Abby on Friday, Oct. 11 when a neighbor's dog burst out of the house and grabbed the dog. Abby was rushed to a veterinarian but eventually died.
"It's been devastating," said Richter, who lives in New Hudson at a manufactured home park called Kensington Place.
A website, www.fundrazr.com, has been established to help raise money to pay Richter's $5,600 veterinarian bill.
Calls placed to the park manager and pit bull mix owner to discuss the incident have not been returned.
Richter, who is retired, had owned Abby, a rescued dog, for nearly three years.
She went out for a walk with the dog, which was leashed.
When she walked past the pit bull mix owner's home, the door opened and the "dog came flying out the door," said Richter.
The pit bull mix grabbed Abby's back. Gruesome photos showing the damage done are on the fundrazr site.
"I was covered in blood," said Richter.
The pit bull mix didn't release the chihuahua until a neighbor squirted it with a garden hose, said Richter.
Richter and her significant other rushed Abby to a veterinarian.
"They said they'd never seen so much damage," she said.
Many of Abby's ribs had been crushed and her chest cavity had been punctured.
Abby had surgery that day but died from injuries on Sunday, Oct. 13.
Richter called Abby the "center of her life."
"We've had so much support from neighbors and friends," she said.
Authorities including Oakland County Animal Control were called about the death. Richter said a police officer told her Wednesday Oct. 16 that, when he checked on the pit bull dog's whereabouts, he was told the dog was no longer at that house.
Richter's daughter Robyn Lamb said she understood the community didn't allow vicious dogs.
"What are responsible dog owners to do when dealing with irresponsible dog owners?" asked Lamb.
Lamb said Abby was "friendly and loving, never hurt a soul," she wrote on the fundrazr website.
Richter gave Abby the best care, spayed her, had dental work done, bought her the healthiest food.
"They were not financially prepared for this," said Lamb.
To assist, visit www.fundrazr.com, and search for "Donate for Abby."

It's official! iPhone 4 in India on May 27, with reverse subsidy [update]
This is not a rumour, ladies and gentlemen. We have just received a press release from Aircel confirming what we had been speculating upon – the iPhone 4 will be coming to India on May 27! The phone will be available for both postpaid and prepaid users. We are not going to potter about the specs of the phone as those are more than well-known (retina display, 5MP camera, thousands of apps, etc., etc.). What really interests us is the fact that the phone is going to be reverse subsidised, once again just as we had predicted. The release states that "Following an upfront payment of Rs. 34,500 for the 16GB model and Rs. 40,900 for the 32GB model, customers will have the opportunity to recover 100 percent of their upfront iPhone cost in monthly credits on their service plan over a period of 24 months." Needless to say, we are probing away for details – and for Airtel's plans in this regard (they have not said a word officially yet, but we are sure they will) – and will keep you updated. In passing, we wonder if it is just plain coincidence that this release lands up in our inbox the very day on which Samsung is going to launch its flagship Galaxy S II, or has there been an attempt to steal thunder here?
Update: We have the details of the plans being offered with the iPhone 4 by Aircel. Just head here to get the details.

December/January 2011
Read below to find out how Journalista launched Faith Matters' report into Muslim converts living in the UK across mainstream broadcast, print and online media.
To promote Faith Matters' report A Minority Within a Minority: A Report on British Converts to Islam in the UK with the aim of:
Coordinated with BBC planning journalist ahead of release of the report to facilitate coverage across television, radio and online. The report appeared on the BBC website, the BBCs various regional and national radio stations, and across the world on the BBCs World Service TV news.
Coordinated with religious editor at the Press Association before the launch of the report. This facilitated coverage across the national and local media, as well as reaching media in the Middle East, Asia, North America and Oceania.
Journalista's cloesly established links with faith and religious media meant that we could authoritatively pitch this story in as a relevant and informative report.
We also engaged with a number of case studies to support media coverage, including convert Sarah Joseph, the editor of Muslim lifestyle magazine Emel.
What made the campaign stand out?
Muslim converts are often stigmatised by the British media so it was important to ensure that the positive ethos of the report was conveyed to journalists and the media.
Journalista helped shape the story by drawing out the most positive aspects of the report, engaging with converts to act as spokespeople and working closely with journalists to reduce the risk of scare stories emerging. The Press Association ran a very positive story which reached various national and regional publications, and The Times ran a two page spread calling for greater understanding and support for the convert community.
The depth and width of the coverage that the campaign received were testament to the strong press release and selling in of the campaign to the press by Journalista.
Evaluation and measurement
We aimed to get the report seen across the UK and to secure foreign media coverage to meet Faith Matters' growing international aims.
Cost effectiveness
Journalista carried out this campaign within its retained fee for Faith Matters.
Final results against objectives
We secured wide coverage across national broadsheets, tabloids, international media, online, television and radio.
The report was received 195 pieces of coverage, including 21 pieces in national print media and 22 in national broadcast.
The story reached an audience of over 62 million and achieving an advertising value equivalency of over £600,000.
Media coverage:
The Times
The Independent
Daily Mail

Decorating for fall in Seneca
The Seneca Community Club and the students at Seneca Schools recently collaborated to decorate the community for fall. Local artist Hans Gill designed and assembled 25 scarecrows as well as 96 wooden stakes topped off with pumpkins, sunflowers and black crows (32 of each). Then, students in grades first through 12th were assigned the duty of painting the pieces in art class, with teacher Cody Sime directing them. The community club provided all the materials and paint for the project, and Paul and Margaret Benzing donated the pumpkins and gourds that were added to the artsy arrangements now displayed on various street corners and in front of the school. The decorations will be stored over the winter and reused next year too. "This project was intended to get the kids involved in the community and help beautify the streets before people drive through town for Gays Mills Apple Fest," said Barb Boland, of the Seneca Community Club.

Qn: How did you end up IAVI CEO?
I have been in the pharmaceutical industry for 26 years. My father was a pharmacist and I lost my two sisters and a brother to preventable diseases. In my previous portfolio, I had a measles vaccine and measles has virtually been eliminated in many countries. I want to do the same for HIV.
Qn: What is your vaccine experience?
I am an experienced biopharmaceutical executive with expertise in the vaccine and antiretroviral markets. I spent 26 years with Merck where
I launched several initiatives to provide access for Merck vaccines and HIV therapies in the developing world.
After 2009, I became President, Global Vaccines and Anti-Infectives, with a $7b portfolio of products.
I also served on the board and executive committee of the GAVI alliance which provides life-saving vaccines against common infectious diseases.
I also played a major role in the formation of the Hilleman Centre, a research centre focused on developing new vaccines for the developing world.
Qn: Impressive! Ugandans want to know, will there be an HIV vaccine in our lifetime?
Absolutely! I am committed to that. I do not think we need events for a wheel chair before getting into an office chair. I cannot give a time line. It is not in the next few years but the biggest opportunity has already come with the studies in Bangkok which demonstrated 30% efficacy and subsequent trials are now planned in Bangkok and South Africa. We need to follow the lead we have to see an HIV vaccine over our life time.
Qn: What is your biggest challenge?
It is at a science level. The HIV keeps on changing and so our target changes consistently. Even if your body develops a new response, the virus changes its attack. It also attacks the immune cells, which are the very cells you need to fight it. Apart from the science, there is the funding problem.
Qn: How will you manage with the global financial crisis?
I believe if IAVI continues to demonstrate value through successful studies, protocols and clinical trials, we will continue to be well positioned as a high quality product development partnership.
If we show that we can help turn promising vaccine concepts into products, funders will appreciate our importance
Qn: Are you satisfied with the facilities at UVRI?
Oh yes I am. The clinical trial facilities and the laboratory facilities are first class and have a tremendous face upon which to build for the future. The staff is very dedicated and the leaders are very passionate.
Qn: What would you like to improve?
One of my highest priorities is to make sure IAVI continues to partner successfully with all other key participants in the quest for an HIV vaccine. We are combining efforts because we have formidable challenges and we continue working, contacting each other and finding signs across our capabilities in programmes that can lead to the development of a vaccine in the shortest time possible.
Qn: Any additional support you expect from Uganda?
The Government has been a very important partner. They have supported us in every study we want to do. So, I expect this support to continue in future.

The Dodge Scooter concept car
The Dodge Scooter was shown in image form, dated 2005, a small, two-door, two-seat, low-slung sports car, which if powered by the 2.4 liter engine could probably do zero to sixty in under six seconds, yet still sell for under $20,000 and make a profit. There could be two versions, one with the 170 hp 2.4 and one with a turbocharged or supercharged version producing well over 225 horsepower, which in a stripped-down, lightweight body would provide terrific acceleration (shades of the ill-fated Copperhead come to mind.)
The Dodge Scooter may have been the latest incarnation of the Dodge Razor, which could do 0-60 in six seconds using the 2.4 liter turbo engine (see its specifications below). Like Razor, it never went anywhere.
Like the Razor, the Scooter had little in the way of ornamentation. The Razor was a Road Runner type vehicle, without power windows, radio, or other frills, but including four-point racing harnesses.
It is quite possible this is the car that was to be shared with Mercedes - the C-Class replacement on the Mercedes side, and the Crossfire replacement on the Chrysler side.
The Scooter appears to have been succeeded by the Dodge Demon.

|Laser-induced acoustic desorption coupled with a linear quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20000769 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|In recent years, laser-induced acoustic desorption (LIAD) coupled with a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer has been demonstrated to provide a valuable technique for the analysis of a wide variety of nonvolatile, thermally labile compounds, including analytes that could not previously be analyzed by mass spectrometry. Although FT-ICR instruments are very powerful, they are also large and expensive and, hence, mainly used as research instruments. In contrast, linear quadrupole ion trap (LQIT) mass spectrometers are common due to several qualities that make these instruments attractive for both academic and industrial settings, such as high sensitivity, large dynamic range, and experimental versatility. Further, the relatively small size of the instruments, comparatively low cost, and the lack of a magnetic field provide some distinct advantages over FT-ICR instruments. Hence, we have coupled the LIAD technique with a commercial LQIT, the Thermo Fischer Scientific LTQ mass spectrometer. The LQIT was modified for a LIAD probe by outfitting the removable back plate of the instrument with a 6 in. ConFlat flange (CFF) port, gate valve, and sample lock. Reagent ions were created using the LQIT's atmospheric pressure ionization source and trapped in the mass analyzer for up to 10 s to allow chemical ionization reactions with the neutral molecules desorbed via LIAD. These initial experiments focused on demonstrating the feasibility of performing LIAD in the LQIT. Hence, the results are compared to those obtained using an FT-ICR mass spectrometer. Despite the lower efficiency in the transfer of desorbed neutral molecules into the ion trap, and the smaller maximum number of available laser pulses, the intrinsically higher sensitivity of the LQIT resulted in a higher sensitivity relative to the FT-ICR.

My success so far
Since I'm home all day, I take a quick glance every hour to see how the trade is doing. If the trade is up alot I move my stop loss up and stay in. If the trade is going down then I keep a close eye on it and possibly close the trade.
Here are the details of my trades for July:
07/02/07 Traded gbp/usd made $37.00
07/04/07 nzd/usd 3.00
07/09/07 jpy/usd -25.13
07/12/07 aud/usd 10.00
07/13/07 nzd/usd 13.00
07/13/07 aud/usd 12.00
07/17/07 gbp/usd 38.00
07/23/07 nzd/usd 172.00
07/26/07 aud/usd 19.00
07/26/07 nzd/usd -21.00
07/31/07 nzd/usd 53.00
So for the month of July I made $297.45 from my trades, and looking back adding in interest I came out with a total of $365.18. As you can see I didn't trade everyday. Two days I had a loss. But you know, $365.18 is good money for not really doing any work! As I learn more, and trade more, my earnings will increase. My hubby had a trade that earned $600 in only two days. So the potential to make great money is there, if you learn well and know what you are doing.
There are a lot of people out there who will tell you not to waste your time with Forex, you'll lose all your money blah blah blah.....
That is why you use a demo account till you get good at it...you won't lose a dime that way. Don't lose faith in yourself, don't listen to the negativity. Learn learn learn, and then apply that knowledge. You really have nothing to lose. :)
This really sounds like a great idea of making money. My question is do you actually get money when you are doing a demo account?? Also, how many times a month do you get paid??
Philippians 1:6 "Be confident of this. He who began a good work in you will continue to perform it until it's perfectly complete"
I am still using my demo account right now. When we get our tax refund I'm hoping to open a live account. Still doing good so far. Since starting my demo account I have made $1,335.89. Of course I haven't traded everyday or it could have been more.
Quoting c2cthompson:
This really sounds like a great idea of making money. My question is do you actually get money when you are doing a demo account?? Also, how many times a month do you get paid??
It really is a good way to make money from home. While using a demo account you do not actally get real money. ( I wish!) The Demo account is just a tool for you to learn what you are doing first. When you open a live account, it is like a bank account. You can draw out money when you want to. The more money you leave in there, the more you will have to do your trades with, but you can get your money out if you want to. Anytime you make a trade that you earn money on, that money you earned goes right in your account.

Re: California Boxing
Babe McCoy was matchmaker for Cal Eaton at the Olympic Auditorium.
McCoy was the focus of a special investigative committee formed by California Governor Knight to examine professional boxing on March 19, 1956 in the Los Angeles State Building. He was on the stand all day long, fielding a range of questions, and at one point refused to answer any additional queries until he was properly represented by legal counsel. James E. Cox, an attorney for the Governor in this matter, was the man putting the most pressure on McCoy, and the latter claimed Cox was "trying to intimidate me,"
according to the Los Angeles Times (3/20/56).
One of the issues brought up was a fight between Art Aragon and Tommy Campbell at the Olympic staged on May 16, 1950, where it appeared there was some sort of collusion between the fighters. The California State Athletic Commission investigated the matter, but nothing came of it.
On March 20, 1956, Campbell appeared before the committee, and admitted to losing to Aragon on purpose six years earlier. He also said that it was McCoy who told him to drop the bout.
The next day, Cal Eaton was questioned by Cox in regards to McCoy, and talk quickly turned to McCoy's criminal history. There was also mention of underworld figures Frankie Carbo and Frank Costello. Cox inquired about McCoy's interest in boxer-turned wrestler Primo Carnera, but Eaton didn't know many details. Cox then presented some information, explaining that in 1947, Carnera received less than 1/3 of the money he made as a wrestler, coming out to about $37,000.
McCoy returned to the stand on March 23, 1956 with attorney Jake Ehrlich of San Francisco at his side. In regards to fixed fights (and there was as many as 12 alleged fixed bouts), McCoy wouldn't answer the questions posed.
Carnera was brought back up, and it was revealed that Harry Harris, a boxing manager, arranged for Carnera to come to the U.S. from Italy in 1946 to wrestle, and that he received $3,000 in financial assistance from McCoy. The Los Angeles Times (3/24/56) reported that for that investment, McCoy would make half of Harris' manager's share of 33 1/3% off Carnera. Harris, however, said that after Carnera arrived, he was moved out of the picture completely, and "Toots" Mondt moved in. Then Harris, after filing a legal suit, earned only 2 1/2%. Carnera also only received $5,000 after a tour of South America, in which he made around $100,000.
McCoy reportedly earned as much as $100,000 over a five year period with Carnera under his thumb. There was also mention of him having some sort of interest in Antonino Rocca. Both Carnera and Rocca were the top box office draws for "Toots" Mondt, and it is well known that their "take" was heavily split among a number of people.
Aileen Eaton defended McCoy when it came to the accusations that he was fixing fights, and denied that she and McCoy "robbed" boxer Watson Jones.
The Los Angeles Times on August 8, 1956 stated that McCoy and "25 other licensed boxing figures in California" have been threatened with suspension as the Governor's investigation was winding down. Eaton was also being considered. The findings made by attorney Cox recommended the license revocation of McCoy and Eaton, and some sort of disciplinary action against wrestling booker Pat O'Brien. The newspaper claimed that the report stated that Eaton "best large sums of money on 'sure things' at the Olympic Auditorium."
Also, McCoy was "truly representative of all that is wrong with boxing today."
McCoy served as matchmaker at the Olympic Auditorium from 1942 to 1954, and was highly influential on both Cal and Aileen Eaton.
On Sunday, April 22, 1962, McCoy passed away at the age of 62 in Los Angeles.
is real name was Harry Rudolph.

Pls email suggestions cos I think a few chords might be wrong.
Play on a nylon classical in standard tuning.
Am = x02210
C = x32010
C/B = x20010 (this is actually Cadd9/B)
C+ = x32110
C6 = x32210 ** see bottom for suggested fingering
Do = x00131
Dm = x00231
Fmaj7 = 133210 (Fadd9 = 1x3213) - used in places instead of Fmaj7
G = 32003x
rain effects, synths and random picking of Cmajor

Who-o cares for the life we've earned

someone's sold all the truth you yearned
Am G Fmaj7 G C C/B Am G
remember when we used to shine
Fmaj7 G Am G C
and had no fear or sense of time
(it creeps up on you)

you can't cry now there's nothing to fear (feel?)
C Dm G7
and no one's noticed our loneline - ess

remember when you used to tease

and say what's fake was always re - al
Am G Fmaj7 G C C/B Am G
I was the one, no longer (whooo)
Fmaj7 G Am C
take me back again
** For this C Caug and C6 run, for ease of playing and to allow the strings to ring, use this fingering.
also included a suggested fingering for playing the Dm and Ddim chords. I think these are played during
song at times, but it's tough to play these and sing at the same time.
Cmajor Caug C6 Dm
oooooo oooooo oooooo oooooo

The numbers refer to the finger to place on that fret (obviously)
That's pretty good, but I think it'ld be easier to play it with a capo on 3th... Like that, you don't need to do crazy fingering for the Csus... But for the chords, that's perfect!

Gogol Bordello front man Eugene Hutz thanks the crowd following the band's acoustic performance at Higher Ground in South Burlington last Thursday. / JOHN JAMES, Free Press
Vermont was not kind to Eugene Hutz when he and his family first moved to the state in the early 1990s. In a 2005 interview with The Burlington Free Press, the native of Ukraine summed up his teen years in Vermont in one word: solitude.
Its taken the front man for the gypsy-punk band Gogol Bordello awhile to come to grips with his first home in America. Now that hes lived in New York City, moved to Brazil, become a star in the music world and a critically praised film actor, Hutz said he has come to appreciate in the past three years or so what Burlington has done for him and continues to do for him.
I came in as a grown man who knows everything, and now I come back feeling like a baby, Hutz said in a recent conversation at the Muddy Waters coffeehouse in Burlington. Time relaxes things.
He said his bonds with his family and friends who remain in the area only continue to improve from the days when he went by the name Eugene Nikolaev and led a punk band in town known as The Fags. It helps that Vermonts appreciation for his current band has continued to improve as well.
Every time I kept coming back it felt like it was getting stronger, Hutz said of Gogol Bordellos following. That following has grown so much that last weeks acoustic show by a pared-down version of Gogol Bordello played to a packed house at Higher Ground, and tonights concert with the full electrified band is already sold out.
Those early days may have been difficult Hutzs father, Alex Nikolaev, said in that 2005 Free Press article that his son was very much depressed when the family came from Europe to Vermont but Hutz realizes years later that Vermont and the gypsy culture of Eastern Europe had something in common that helped him adjust. He said the hippie vibe of Vermont matches the communal element he knew back home, and that culture helped spur an active music scene in and around Burlington. He encountered fellow immigrants from Europe, Tibet and Vietnam in Burlington, and spent a lot of time hanging out at the 242 Main youth music club run by his roommate, Simon Brody.
Hutz is now comfortable enough in Burlington thats hes spending a couple of weeks in town this month, and his activities include not just last weeks set and this weeks at Higher Ground but guest appearances at Nectars and Radio Bean. On a recent visit to town he recorded an album full of country-toned tunes with one of Burlingtons best-known musicians, guitarist Brett Hughes, that might just see the light of day at some point in the future.
I love Burlington, Hutz said, but I dont love Burlington winters.
Burlington certainly got Hutz started on a career that has made the wild and crazy Gogol Bordello into an internationally known musical group and even landed the charismatic Hutz in a couple of movies, the well-received Everything Is Illuminated with Elijah Wood and the short film Filth and Wisdom directed by Gogol Bordello fan Madonna. Hutz had one of those pinch-me moments last year when the punk-music fan and his band shared the stage at Carnegie Hall with Patti Smith and one of his main boyhood idols, Iggy Pop.
Hutz said his attitude matches Iggy Pops in that he channels his punk energy into a positive rather than a negative place. When reminded that Iggy Pop rolled around in broken glass and smeared peanut butter on himself in his early days, Hutz said I pretty much did that when I was 20 years old. I put out cigarettes on my chest. I dont know why, but it seemed appropriate at the time.
That mellowing-with-age Iggy Pop style came through in Gogol Bordellos acoustic show last Thursday at Higher Ground. Hutz spent much of his time strumming his guitar and sitting on a stool, but he wasnt exactly Rod Stewart crooning the American songbook not when he was shouting lyrics such as undestructable! or belting out amusing numbers with titles such as Everybody Knows This Party Sucks. Oh, and he was shirtless and toting a bottle of wine, which is usually the case once a rocking Gogol Bordello show gets going but not so common when a band is playing acoustic tunes.
Hutz has not only rubbed elbows in New York City with Patti Smith and Iggy Pop, he recently shared a stage in Russia with President Dmitry Medvedev something inconceivable when Hutz and his family lived in the former Soviet Union in the 1970s.
I dont think Brezhnev would have come on stage with anyone not dressed in a military uniform, Hutz said. Needless to say things are changing everywhere. I thought to myself, Russia is definitely progressing away from that image it had when I was there.
Gogol Bordello is now tapping into the culture much of its sound was derived from. Ironically, Russia finally woke up to us as well, Hutz said, and now that it did its a full-time job for me. Hes doing television work and curating music festivals in Russia, and is opening a music venue in nearby Kiev, Ukraine.
The energetic Hutz, whos also starting his own record label, isnt worried that hes over-booking himself.
Its a lot going on, but I feel like I walk the Earth at a pretty relaxed pace, he said, reflecting that positive punk attitude he was talking about. Awareness of joy of being is the most important thing.

Neighbors protest proposed firearms home business
August 28, 2012
By Warren Kagarise
Concerns about safety and traffic led downtown Issaquah residents to join forces to stop the city from approving a permit for a home-based firearms business.
The municipal Development Services Department is considering a proposal from Michael Marinos, a longtime Issaquah resident, to open the business in the Olde Town neighborhood south of East Sunset Way.
Marinos created Bigg Dogg Firearms to offer federally licensed firearms transfers to customers purchasing weapons online. Customers could then stop at Marinos' home-based business to pick up the firearms.
The introduction of hot-button gun rights issues into a routine planning application galvanized Marinos' neighbors.
"Putting that kind of business in a residential neighborhood just makes no sense," former Councilman David Kappler, a nearby homeowner, told City Council members Aug. 6.
But Issaquah Municipal Code allows home-based businesses, and does not limit firearms businesses in the Olde Town neighborhood.
"When you buy a gun from Cabela's or big distributors, you know that those stores are secure," nearby resident Mark Rigos told council members. "There's alarms. There's security. There's police presence."
The city sent letters to 43 people within 300 feet of Marinos' home, and he said 37 residents reacted unfavorably to the proposal, and notified the city.
"I read through them, and I understand their concerns," he said in a recent interview.
Only Marinos, as the licensee to handle firearms transfers, can complete the transactions, and he said he does not plan for firearms deliveries to occur when he is not at home.
"I think a lot of it is not really understanding what my end goal is, and perhaps my permit application didn't explain it all that well," he said.
Marinos, a U.S. Department of Defense contractor in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a prior military service member, said safety is the top priority.
"If somebody knows this is a firearms transfer business and there are guns being dropped off on the porch by UPS or FedEx, and somebody picks it up or targets it for crime, that's an issue," Martin Buckley, a nearby resident, told council members.
Marinos and neighbors said the shootout between police and a gunman on the nearby Clark Elementary School campus in September 2011 made residents in the area more sensitive to the proposal.
Bill Ramos, a Southeast Andrews Street resident living about 340 feet from the site, said traffic connected to the business could impact the neighborhood.
"The traffic through there is a concern. It has been for quite awhile. We have restricted traffic coming in and out. You can't make turns," he told council members. "I have to drive around four blocks to get into my house because of traffic concerns, so I'm really afraid that bringing a business into our little residential neighborhood is not the ideal thing to do."
Marinos said Bigg Dogg Firearms-related traffic impacts should not disrupt the neighborhood.
"I don't think the traffic that a lot of people are concerned about is going to be all that much," he said.
Nancy Whitaker, Life Enrichment Options board president, said the nonprofit organization operates a family home for developmentally disabled adults near the proposed Bigg Dogg Firearms location.
"Our residents do a lot of walking along those streets and it's problematic to drive and park there. We have anxiety about their safety now, because they walk to the community center for activities, they walk to transportation, to and from shopping, and their jobs," she told council members. "So, increasing the traffic in that area for any commercial business — which we're thinking of this more as a retail business, which would bring increased traffic and parking there — so that's of grave concern."
Marinos continues to answer questions from Jerry Lind, the city senior planner assigned to the project, as the city considers the application. Marinos said he hopes he and nearby residents can find common ground.
"I understand their concerns, and I think, certainly, our Second Amendment protects our First Amendment," he said.

And so it starts, the fearful must sell guns to protect our First Amendment. If it is all as safe and secure as the seller says, why then do we need to sell more guns? My gosh this is a community with enough weapons already. This city also caves when somebody rattles a Right. The Second Amendment has been so morphed that the gun nuts would not recognize it even if it was explained. Come on Issaquah, show some class and leadership for once. This "business" does not belong in a neighborhood.

Residents do not seem to be informed about the process of firearm transfers. UPS or Fedex don't just leave packages like that on doorsteps. There is a complete and exacting process to the transfer. Again I think fear of firearms is overruling this.
In response to the previous comment, he is not selling guns, he is only providing a means of transfer from a sale out of state or online. Whether or not people need more guns or not is not a debatable argument that can be won in courts. It would be like debating whether or not people need more cheeseburger joints when obesity in the country is so high. Choice is a right, whether anyone likes it or not. And considering the current cost of FFL transfers, the gentleman is simply trying to provide a competitive choice for consumers who would be making the choice the purchase anyway. All business is built on that ethos.

To Mr. Marinos, it might be beneficial for you to explain the federal regulations and procedures involved with your proposed business on your website so that people could become more informed. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about the impact a firearms transfer business would have in our neighborhood., compared to any other type of home business.
To my neighbors that are concerned about traffic and parking, I hope that you also are sending comments to Mr. Lind at the city planning office regarding the new three-story multi-family residence that will be constructed on the corner of SE Andrews and 5th 'Ave SE. If it's anything like the other 3-story residences in that area, there will be cars parked on the street near these housing units which often reduce the street width to a single lane. That presents a dangerous condition, especially in a neighborhood with children playing and riding bikes in the area.

MACON – West Point head coach Chris Chambless could have easily grabbed his players' attention this week. All it would have taken was a simple reminder of last year's embarrassing shutout loss to rival Noxubee County.
However, neither Chambless nor his assistant coaches had to utter a word. It was the Green Wave players doing all the reminding.
West Point (3-1) jumped out to a 20-0 lead and held off a late charge to knock off Noxubee County 20-12, ending the state's longest winning streak at 18 games.
"We didn't even mention (last year's 42-0 loss)," said Chambless. "But our players told the coaches about it all week long. We didn't have the best week of practice, either, with all the weather. But our coaches called a great game, and our players overcame the weather to get it done. The weather hurt us and also played to our advantage."
In a matter of three minutes and five seconds, West Point took early control in the second half on a wet and sloppy playing surface. West Point's Gary Hughes returned the opening kickoff 76 yards to boost the Green Wave's lead to 14-0.
Then on the ensuing kickoff, West Point recovered a fumble and quarterback Justin Cox made it count with a four-yard touchdown run with 8:55 left in the third quarter.
"We did a great job of grabbing the momentum right out of the gates," said Chambless. "We knew we had to grab some early momentum because like basketball, we knew Noxubee County was going to make a run."
Champions respond
And that the Tigers (4-1) did.
The defending Class 4A state champions scored back-to-back touchdowns midway through the fourth quarter, cutting the deficit to 20-12 with 6:18 left to play.
But West Point's defense would not surrender another first down the rest of the game.
"Noxubee County said we were soft coming in," said West Point senior defensive tackle Curtis Virges. "So we had to get very physical tonight and prove our toughness. We did lose our focus in that fourth quarter, but we found just enough to put us back on track in this rivalry."
Cox also helped produce West Point's first points of the game. With 9:38 left in the second quarter, Carr took advantage of 1-on-1 coverage and hauled in a 43-yard touchdown pass from Cox to give West Point the 6-0 halftime advantage.
"We knew we had to make big plays tonight," said Carr. "All we were thinking was to stay humble and make plays. This game has been on all of our minds since the minute they beat us last year."
West Point limited the Tigers to just two first downs and 39 total yards in the opening 24 minutes. The Green Wave defense denied Noxubee County inside their own 10-yard line twice late in the first half to preserve their six-point lead.

WASHINGTON--The media could use some lithium. Not since I studied bipolar disease 25 years ago have I seen such dramatic mood swings as in the coverage of the first week of the war.
It began with ``shock and awe'' euphoria, the hailing of a campaign of immaculate destruction. It was going to be Kosovo II, Afghanistan with embeds, another war of nearly bloodless (for us) success.
And then on Sunday, bloody Sunday, the media discovered that war is hell, and descended into a mood as dark as any of Churchill's ``black dogs.'' But the blackness came from confusing two different phenomena: war and battle. The narrow focus of the camera sees not war, but individual battles, which, broadcast live, gave the home front the immediate (vicarious) experience of the confusion and terror of combat. Among the chattering classes, a mini-panic set in.
By Monday, the media were in full quagmire mode. Good grief. If there had been TV cameras not just at Normandy, but after Normandy, giving live coverage of firefights at every French village on the Allies' march to Berlin, the operation would have been judged a strategic miscalculation, if not a disaster. The fact is that after a single week we find ourselves at the gates of Baghdad, servicing the longest supply lines in American history, with combat losses astonishingly low by any standard.
In the current campaign, we have suffered from two major impediments: Turkey's betrayal and our own high moral standards. Turkey's refusal to let us send the 4th Infantry Division to attack Baghdad from the north has cost us heavily. It has allowed Saddam to concentrate his defenses to the south and essentially cut in half the size of the heavily mechanized enemy he has to deal with. (The president's supplemental budget request has $1 billion in aid for Turkey. Congress should strike every penny of it.)
Even more important, we've been held back by our own scrupulousness. It is safe to say there has never been a conflict in which one belligerent has taken more care not to harm the civilians of the other. And it has already cost us. We know that the ``irregulars''--the thugs whose profession heretofore had been the most barbaric internal repression in the service of Saddam's psychopathic son, Uday--use human shields, fight in civilian disguise and attack under a fake flag of surrender. Our restraint in choice of targets and in the treatment of those who appear to be civilians and those who appear to have surrendered has cost us not just time and territory, but lives.

text: Another heavy-duty cardigan just for you this fall. It's at Oak and has a strong "modern grandpa" vibe in melange grey. Features includes a shawl collar and two front pockets, and this Acne version isn't too long. A 70-30 wool and acrylic blend makes for a substantial but slightly less weighty knit. If you have a way with clothes, the buttons might be cool to replace with a crested version or a knotted leather look. [$268 at acne]
