Man charged with assault appears in court bloodied and beaten after two nights in jail
Published: January 9, 2014

ST. CROIX - When Shadrach Petersen appeared in Magistrate Court on Tuesday morning he looked well, his thick wavy hair was pulled into a bun at the front of his head and he even smiled a few times during the hearing. On Wednesday, when he returned to court, he was barely recognizable, his face was swollen, his hair untamed and he could barely walk.
Petersen told the court he had been assaulted at the detention facility, but he had not been taken for medical attention.
He was clearly in pain, his eyes red and teary, as Magistrate Jessica Gallivan entertained a motion from the defense to set condition of release for him in the domestic case where two women said he assaulted them Monday.
Petersen, of Marley Homes was charged with aggravated assault and battery, second-degree assault and related charges after two women reported that he assaulted them and choked one of the women.
The woman said she went to Petersen's home with her sister to retrieve a television. She said they went to Petersen's bedroom and were having a civil conversation with him until she said she had come for her television.
According to the report, the woman told police that Petersen became enraged and grabbed her by her neck and tried to strangle her. The women fought back, according to the report.
According to Petersen's statement to police, he was asleep when the two women came to his room and "started drama." He told police he only got mad when the women wouldn't let him keep his DVD and that in the struggle that ensued, one woman grabbed his testicles while the other one grabbed his hair.
Bail was set at $15,000.
During the hearing Wednesday, Assistant Public Defender Leslie Davis asked the court to allow Petersen released on an unsecured bond in the amount of bail since no one had come forward to post his bail or stand in as a custodian in the case. She said he was clearly in danger at the prison.
Gallivan said while she is concerned and does not want to send Petersen to his death at Golden Grove Adult Correctional Facility, she also has to take steps to ensure the safety of the community and specifically the victims in the case.
Petersen has had prior arrests on assault, robbery, firearm use and ammunition possession.
Bureau of Corrections spokeswoman Juel Anderson said Wednesday that there was no report of an assault to bureau officials and an investigation has been launched to determine what if anything had occurred involving Petersen.
There was also no listing of an assault or disturbance at the facility on the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency's web blotter, which logs calls to emergency dispatchers.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Sixth grade students from across Alabama
will learn how to prepare and respond to disaster during "Be Ready" camps at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville.
A total of 186 students will attend the two separate camps. The first camp began Tuesday and runs through Saturday. The second camp
will be Sept. 14-18.
The camp will teach students how to prepare and respond during any type of disaster and will encourage them to seek future jobs as first responders.
Alabama Homeland Security Director Jim Walker said it's important to encourage young people to become police officers, firefighters or military personnel to insure there is not a future shortage of first responders.
The students will get a chance each week to respond to a mock disaster.

Whatcha Doin' There, Robert Pattinson?
The photo first appeared on the paper of record: Twitter, of course. Someone with the handle killawolf1 posted the pic along with the caption "Memories from last night: #RobertPattinson using #powertools NY never ceases to #surprise @ Wooster St." Ah, memories. By the way, the same once-anonymous Twitter user is now getting tweeted at by a member of paparazzi image wire Splash News. Talk about the right place at the right time! (Daily Mail)
So, three guesses what R. Patz was doing with the drill. "That dude cray" doesn't count.

Please excuse the n-teenth
question on this "topic". If you
bear with me, I think you'll
discover some new twists that
haven't been addressed in
previous questions or answers.
Or maybe some old twists that I
I'm about to embark on a J2EE
application that implements JMS
as a notification service. I'm
hoping that I'll discover new
and interesting things (that
I'll follow up here) and hear
about others (from interested
readers) that will keep me from
going down blind alleys.
Core requirements:
So the first bullet is driven by
the fact that message recipients
are unknown to the coder, but
will be registered by
administrators, after
deployment, on an ongoing basis.
This means (to me, anyway) that
a single
typically will handle many
message types, with a single
them and distributing them to a
list of registered interested
parties. Why? In a perfect
world, I'd rather write code
that dynamically spins up a
for each
registered message consumer at
the point of registration,
otherwise it feels like I'm
re-writing features of JMS.
However, 1) my reading seems to
reveal that
s are
statically bound in a J2EE
application context and 2)
elsewhere in this forum, many
s have been
pointed to as a performance hit.
Am I mistaken? (Question 1)
Question 2 - elsewhere it has
been discussed that it's
possible to map many
s to a single
but my cursory examination of
the deployment descriptors
leaves me suspicious that I'm
going to fail in my attempt.
Specifically it looks like the
mapping of the
handled as a child element of
the enterprise bean descriptor,
rather than the other way
around, as I would expect. I
think that either the
configuration is going to yak,
or the second bean descriptor is
going to replace the first,
since they are named the same.
Anyone with any practical
experience here, specifially on
BEA Weblogic?
So I've talked myself into
bounding a
with at least one
to support (intially) all
messages. However now the
scaling issues come into play:
suppose some message types pump
in lots of messages into a
, while others
trickle in messages. The
consumers of those messages
don't really know about each
other's existence, they just
expect delivery in a timely
This makes me think that I need
a way to externally spin up a
, at such time
an administrator feels it would
be a prudent thing, and map the
very active message types into
that, while leaving the
previously clogged
to the
less-frequent message traffic.
My application server is
Weblogic 6.1, and its
administration panel and
documentation lead me to believe
that I can create
s at-will. This
seems neat, but also somehow
feels too good to be true. It is
also the thinking behind bullets
2 and 3. If an administrator can
create new
s, then
I can give him a mechanism for
mapping them to the more heavily
trafficed messages. Am I
mistaken? (Question 3)
I guess the last question would
be what am I missing?
Admittedly, I've tried to absorb
alot of information in a short
time, so the possibility of
having missed critical
architectural points, leading to
wheel reinvention, is not
thanks - Doug

Stupid Dictator Tricks
When all else fails...
12:12 PM, Jan 11, 2010 • By JOHN NOONAN
Hugo Chavez announced this weekend that the Venezuelan currency, the bolivar, will be devalued for the third time since 2004. The oil-rich banana republic increasingly resembles Mexico prior to its 1994 economy crash. So, socialist policies enacted by a bombastic Latin American strongman are running a once relatively prosperous nation into the ground -- and guess who's getting the blame?
It's no secret that the US Navy has been flying P-3 counter-narcotic sorties out of the Dutch Antilles, which are in close proximity Venezuelan airspace. The P-3 is a specially designed submarine hunter, originally designed to kill Soviet attack subs, which is also optimized to detect Colombian drug runners who use crude submarines and fast boats with a low radar signature in their smuggling operations. Of course Chavez already knows this, as he's seen these patrols brush the edge of his airspace for some time.
So he scrambles two fighters, takes some photos, and -- in a laughably unsubtle move -- announces an egregious violation of Venezuelan sovereignty... in the very same press conference where he's forced to admit that the bolivar is on its way to becoming the next Zimbabwean dollar. It's so predictable that the whole affair borders on parody. The only real surprise is the fact that Chavez managed to actually get two of his F-16s airborne after a decade of US sanctions.

Real Mother
Laura Leon
by Michael McCullers
Mama seemed like it would be the kind of movie that blows
all its funny business in the relentless ad campaign leading
up to its premiere. Career gal Kate (Tina Fey) cant get pregnant,
so she hires white-trash Angie (Amy Poehler) to be a surrogate.
Think Odd Couple blended with televisions A Baby
Story, and you pretty much get the picture.
The good news is that there is plenty more to laugh at than
whats been rammed down our throats. The juxtaposition of
Kates prim, ultra-neatnik tendencies with Angies pop-guzzling,
gum-smacking persona is mined for all its worth, so its helpful
that Poehler, in particular, is so fearless a comedic actress.
The sight of her, complete with baby bump, grinding her bootie
into her dance partner is a hilarious shocker. For her turn,
Fey simply channels Mary Richards. She works just as well
off Poehler as she does off Steve Martin, who nearly steals
the movie as Kates new-agey, pony-tailed boss at Round Earth,
a sort of Whole Foods-type enterprise. This is a guy who likes
to regale the common folk with tales of how he roasted pine
nuts at the foot of a volcano, and rewards underlings with
the chance to touch foreheads for five uninterrupted minutes.
The movie is also helped along by solid performances from
Greg Kinnear, playing Kates love interest; Sigourney Weaver,
as the forever-fertile entrepreneur behind the surrogacy firm
Kate chooses; and Dax Shepherd, as Angies redneck common
law hubbie. Hes the kind of guy who, when Angie dumps him,
delivers this coup detat: Im gonna bang all your friends!
Consider them banged!
So, there is a lot to laugh about in Baby Mama, and
yet, its something of a disappointment. Its refreshing to
see a movie that in some small way resembles the realities
and concerns of a working woman, and Fey is, if nothing else,
the personification of a likeable Everywoman. However, the
real tension of the plot comes from pitting Kates upward
mobility against Angies lower-class roots, and writer-director
Michael McCullers seems not to want to tap that root, no matter
how many times they come close to exposing it. Poehler pushes
the envelope, making us party to Angies gross habits, and
even giving us cause to agree with her beliefs, such as when
she refers to Kates unappetizing-looking organic fare as
food for rich people who hate themselves. But the movie
hangs back when it could be skewering perceptions about fertility,
the lengths to which people will go to perpetuate their DNA,
and what really makes a good parent. The result is a crucial
loss of bite.
Mama ends on an obvious happy note, albeit a completely
unbelievable one. The idea that motherhood in and of itself
unites women from disparate backgrounds, with divergent tastes,
and transcends what had been a prickly relationship fraught
with questions about status and class, into that of BFFs is
just plain stupid. Just as bad, it waters down what little
satirical juice the movie, quite thankfully, had.
by Stefan Ruzowitzky
The problem with dramatizing a story set in the middle of
the Holocaust is one of proportion: How do you bring some
small corner of this historic tragedy to dramatic life without
trivializing the overwhelming nature of the tragedy?
Director Stefan Ruzowitzky gets it exactly right in this Oscar-winning
drama, which tells the true story of a small group of Jewish
counterfeiters pressed into service by the Nazis to replicate
British and U.S. currencies. The straightforward way he accomplishes
this is by letting us immediately know that the lead character,
master counterfeiter Salomon Sally Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics),
survives the war. (The film is told in flashback.) That simple
twist keeps the audience from being sucked into the will-he-or-wont-he-survive
question, which would engender a feeling of suspense that
would take the focus off the overall horror.
More interestingly, the films intense drama is found in the
moral dilemmas faced by Sorowitsch and his fellow prisoners.
Theyre kept separate from the rest of the concentration camp
inmates, and treated relatively well. (This means they arent
worked, literally, to death.) This is a source of pain for
some; not so much for others. The work that keeps them alivecounterfeitingsupports
the German war effort, and may even be prolonging the war.
Again, this is more of a problem for some than others.
Sorowitsch is both artist and philistine, kowtowing supplicant
and brave fighter. Even before the war, his politics are shown
to be pure self-preservationhe barely conceals his contempt
for his fellow Jews. A shrewd judge of human nature, he knows
exactly how to flatter his captors enough to get what he wants,
but not so much that he violates his own (thiefs) code of
ethics. His relationships with a self-righteous Communist
idealist (August Diehl) and the slimy SS commandant (David
Striesow) are telling: He respects but is frustrated by the
former; he despises, but can do business with, the latter.
Markovics, whose technique is spare, is compelling in the
In the end, obviously, the Nazi scheme to flood the world
with fake dollars and pounds, thus crashing their enemies
economies, fails. It was just another pipe dream that gave
this supremely delusional regime something to hang hope onand,
ironically, allowed a handful of skilled Jewish craftsmen
to survive the Holocaust.

There are a lot of great scriptures passages that talk about worship in the Bible.
Some of these are Romans 12:1-2, John 4:23-24, and Mark 12:29-30. These point to some of the foundational parts of worship.
But one of my favorite passages is Psalm 100. Only 5 verses long, it paints a picture of where worship is to begin. Specifically, take a look at verse 4:
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Israelites, their worship began with thanksgiving.
And the same is to be true of us. Beginning with thanksgiving helps us to keep a proper perspective. What God has done and who He is isn't because we "deserve" something, but because He is amazingly gracious to us and loves us. So much of our life is to be characterized by thanksgiving and gratitude toward God. The Apostle Paul, in Philippians 4:6, points us to the vital role of thanksgiving as we deal with the realities of life. It is to be present even in times of petition and prayer.
I believe that when we worship without a foundation of thanksgiving, our worship risks becoming more about us than about God.
David understood the vital role of thanksgiving in his life. One of the psalms he wrote, Psalm 103, is a huge expression of thanksgiving and gratitude toward God. It begins with these words:
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
If that's not reason enough to worship, well then…
It's out of this psalm that 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin came. I had been aware of this song, but it was really my wife who brought it more fully to my attention. We've been working at teaching this song to the congregation we are currently serving. It's such a great song that captures so much of where I believe worship should begin.
And where it should continually flow from.
I was curious about the background of this song, so I went looking to see what Matt Redman had to say about it. And thanks to the wonder of the Internet, found this great video clip as he talks both about the song itself and the importance of thanksgiving. Take a look:
"If you wake up one day, and you can't think of a reason to thank Him or bring Him an offering of some kind, then there's something wrong with your spiritual outlook. Our lives are absolutely full of His glory and goodness."
May we not be people who take for granted who God is and what He is doing.
May we be people who are aware of the glory and goodness of God in our lives.
May we embrace every reason, all 10,000 of them, to worship and give thanks everyday.
Let worship begin.
For Discussion:
What reasons do you have to give thanks today and bless the Lord?

Family Atmosphere for Twin Cedars' Basketball
Posted By Sports On December 2, 2013 @ 5:58 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
The benefit of playing in several sports in a small school like Twin Cedars is the fact that you have almost the same teammates in each sport. For the seniors on this year's Sabers' boys' basketball, they have created almost a "family atmosphere" among the players, because of how long and how often they have played together. Coach Alan Stewart says this season's "motto" is all about being a family and honoring the memory of their fallen brother, Derek Springer. Coach Stewart says that Derek's brother, Dylan, has done a formidable job so far in replacement in the post, scoring in double digits in their jamboree earlier last week. The Sabers open up the season on Tuesday against Wayne.

Fans crowd into the grandstand area at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction Wednesday night, September 14, 2011, for a special Phish concert to benefit Tropical Storm Irene flood victims in Vermont.
To get ready for Phishs flood recovery benefit concert, I listened to Colorado 88 (far out) and learned to text (reined in).
I went to Wednesdays show at the fairgrounds with my friend and Free Press designer, John James, a Phish aficionado. We listened to Little Feat's Dixie Chicken driving to Essex Junction. On the way, we happened to see friends of John from upstate New York in the next lane, pulling into town for Phish. There were honks and his all around, and the promise of a good time. We got to the show at 3 p.m. on a blue-sky day with puffy white clouds, and hung out by a fence listening to the sound check. The band sounded like they were in a good mood.
It was fun listening, and figuring out what songs they were messing around with. I was sorry when they put their instruments down.
We ran into my friend, Finn, with an extra big grin, steering his veggie oil-powered van through the fairgrounds. He had some kind of gig creating an aesthetic for the VIP area. Finn was thinking of making a raft to honor the theme of the benefit but I dont think he pulled it off.
We saw Phish faithful whod driven far without tickets rewarded at the box office: The band released a small number of tickets hours before show time. Fans used words like magical and awesome and intense to describe the event, the timing, the tickets.
At some point, John and I parted company and I went into the stadium at 6:45. A loose and relaxed crowd was starting to form on the tarp-covered dirt.
Near the front but not too close I staked out a spot on the Page side of the stage. On the far side was Fishmans drum set: Any band whose drummer plays such a big kit is worthy of attention. People were filling in around me, the kind of fans who like to get close to the band: Young ones. My concert gear pen and paper was unlike that of the people near me.
But none of the boys (or dancing girls) seemed to mind an occasional jab from my elbow when I pulled pad from pocket to jot down a note. In fact, I was welcomed in our instantly forming neighborhood in an almost poignant way.
Our small group within the crowd of 12,000 was, to generalize, friendly, fun, informed, helpful and generous.
Though Im old enough to be their mother, the kids graciously passed their pipe to me. Thank you, Nancy Reagan, for suggesting I just say no; I opted for no, thanks.
My new friends knew just about everything: from the last time Psycho Killer was played before a Phish show to the meaning of the design on Fishmans tunic. They told me about hints dropped by Phish, at shows in Denver, about the last-minute Essex concert.
I used texting 101 to send updates to my editors: the guv is here; Sly is playing Stand over the PA; Mike says Were pumped. The people around me agreed: Phish was pumped.
A few songs into the first set, a funny thing happened: My pad stayed in my pocket for longer stretches. I put my phone away and stopped sending messages to the newsroom. Deadlines and leads slipped from my mind. I forgot, for a time, I was on assignment. Thats a very unusual thing and a better way to listen to music and there was some good stuff to hear Wednesday night at the fairgrounds.
During the show I sent a text to John, who was floating somewhere in the crowd.
What song is this?
A while later, I noticed his message: Moma Dance!
For a minute, I thought he was talking about me.

Some 40 years ago, legendary restaurateur Ray Parrella who had been dishing up lasagna and meatballs in a postage-stamp restaurant at the old Quartermaster Depot on 10th Street in Jeffersonville built a sparkling culinary palace, complete with elegant Roman columns, on Court Avenue.
That part of Southern Indiana was just starting to develop a commercial presence. Exit 0 (the one that connects the Kennedy Bridge to Jeffersonville) was either brand new, or still in the planning stages. A couple of blocks away the Circle Bar was selling Sterling. Ruby's Busy Bee was locally famous for serving up pigs' feet and white beans, and Murphy's Drug Store still produced the best chocolate malts ever.
For a very long time, Parrella's was the place in Jeffersonville for prom dates and wedding anniversaries. About 10 years ago, Parrella retired, then reopened in Jeffersonville. Earlier this year, the last iteration of Parrella's, on Frankfort Avenue, closed its doors, ending an era.
But the building Parrella designed and built in the early '70s is still around. Over the last 10 years, it's been home to a handful of efforts (most notably, Bim Dietrich's attempt at upscale Italian), but none has been able to stick.
But things may go better for the recently opened Cozza Osteria Enoteca, a place that's trying to fuse ambitious cuisine with a weekend club scene that features blues, jazz and a casual late-night menu.
Chef-owner Al Papsodero has given the place a good scrub and a dapper, rejuvenated look. The color scheme is black, blue and tan. The walls are hung with local art (an outdoor patio offers fine al fresco dining now that the weather has turned fine). The recorded soundtrack focuses on contemporary jazz (the live-music lineup includes local luminaries like Tyrone Cotton).
In these early months, there are some discordant notes. Service is less knowledgeable and exacting than expected at a restaurant with a relatively upscale menu. After a recent menu change, a server was flustered by fairly standard questions, and inadvertently brought us an order of house-made ravioli. (We had no complaints about the toothsome ravioli, and were glad to see that the wronged party received his replacement just a few minutes later.)
And it's surprising that a restaurant that's nominally committed to wine (the Italian words osteria and enoteca both raise expectations of a significant wine program) offers only a short list of standards.
Still, the food merits attention. Polenta Napoleon, from the appetizer menu ($7), was crisp enough on the surface to highlight the voluptuously soft texture of the creamy cornmeal within and a generously apportioned ragu made from chunks of braised beef and lamb loomed over the plate, a rich, tender presence.
A diner could cobble together a fun meal just from the half-dozen or so appetizers like breaded Roman artichokes, roasted red peppers, or calamari lightly dusted in Graham cracker crumbs (an innovation that reportedly caramelizes to form a crisp outer shell before the calamari has a chance to get overcooked).
Lighter appetites will find impeccably fresh salads: a house salad, $7, brimmed with bright colors and fresh ingredients; grilled Romaine ($8) is served with Gulf shrimp, and charred tomato-bacon. And my accidental ravioli, which had been prepared as a special request it isn't on the menu was firmly al dente and filled with a feather-light, pleasantly herbaceous cheese mixture.
The current entrée list includes roasted quail ($21), fennel and bread-crumb encrusted tuna ($23), shrimp fettuccine with smoked gouda roasted red pepper cream ($21), and surf-and turf combinations that feature beef steaks topped with crabmeat ($22-$24).
Preparations tend to be a bit elaborate, but the kitchen wields long lists of ingredients with a delicate touch.
A thick piece of seared grouper is displayed atop a mound of moist risotto and dolled up with quartered artichoke hearts, big, beautiful Sicilian olives, little Calamatas, sprigs of rosemary, and soft cloves of roasted garlic ($21).
A pepper-seared pork chop ($20) was as thick as a pork chop can reasonably be but tender under the knife, touched up with a Marsala sauce that perfectly complemented the meat, and accompanied by bright green, crisp haricots verts.
And if our server lost our confidence early in the evening, he regained it at the end by recommending a flourless chocolate torte accompanied by house-made pistachio gelato a heavenly combination, indeed.
And if things run true to form, a newly unveiled, casual late-night bar menu (including pizzas and calzones) should be just the ticket for folks looking for a stylish mix of music and food.

Weekend round-up including Genzebe Dibaba's 1500m breakthrough in Germany, fast sprint times from Tianna Madison and Kirani James in USA, and some surprising multi-events marks in Russia
Britain's best track and field athletes were busy in Sheffield over the past weekend at the UK Indoor Championships, vying for places on the GB team for the World Indoor Championships. But elsewhere around the world there were dozens of superb performances as world-leading marks were set in 14 events.
She might be the lesser-known sibling in her family for now, but that may not be the case for much longer for Genzebe Dibaba, younger sister of double Olympic champion Tirunesh and former Olympic silver medallist Ejegayehu. At the International Indoor Meeting in Karlsruhe on Sunday, Dibaba made up for a disappointing result two days prior at the PSD Bank Meeting in Dusseldorf, where she was disqualified for breaking too early.
This time, she made no such mistake. After being paced through the first 800m in 2:11.47, Dibaba took up the running and continued to pull away from the rest of the field, stopping the clock in 4:00.13 – the fifth-fastest indoor 1500m of all-time. It was also almost two seconds quicker than her disqualified performance from Friday night, and a belated birthday surprise having turned 21 earlier in the week.
Helen Obiri, winner of the 3000m in Glasgow last month, finished second with a PB of 4:06.25, while Steph Twell skipped the UK Indoor Championships to instead opt to make her indoor debut in Karlsruhe, finishing seventh with 4:09.84.
There were two other world-leading marks set in middle-distance events in Karlsruhe. The men's 3000m got off to a quick start, and although the pace dropped slightly in the second kilometre, the field picked it up again over the final few laps. Former Commonwealth champion Augustine Choge and Kenyan team-mate Edwin Soi were left to duke it out, and both crossed the line neck-and-neck in 7:29.94 with Choge being awarded the victory. Yenew Alamirew, one of the sensations of the 2011 indoor season, was third in 7:31.23.
Bethwell Birgen made it a Kenyan double, winning the 1500m in 3:34.65. Former compatriot Ilham-Tanui Ozbilen, now representing Turkey, set a national record of 3:34.76 in second. The women's 3000m was similarly high-quality with Morocco's Mariem Alaoui-Selsouli winning in 8:36.87.
Ivet Lalova continued to build on last year's resurgence by winning the women's 60m with a PB of 7.16, 0.02 ahead of Jamaica's Aleen Bailey who broke her lifetime best from nine years ago.
Elsewhere, Jeff Porter won the men's 60m hurdles in 7.54, although Russia's Konstantin Shabanov clocked 7.52 in the heats. Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski defeated world champion David Storl in the shot, 21.27m to 21.03m, and European indoor silver medallist delighted the home crowd with her pole vault victory, clearing 4.68m.
The International Indoor Meeting in Karlsruhe was the second of two top-quality Germany indoor meetings held over the past few days, the other being the PSD Bank Meeting in Dusseldorf. The women's 1500m there was something of an anticlimax after winner Genzebe Dibaba was disqualified, having crossed the line in 4:01.96. Olympic 800m champion Pamela Jelimo produced arguably her best performance since the 2008 season with her 4:07.11 clocking behind Dibaba, but she too was disqualified for breaking too early.
But the disappointment of that one race did not overshadow what was otherwise a great meeting. World and Olympic finalist Thomas Longosiwa produced the sixth-fastest indoor 5000m of all-time, cracking the 13-minute barrier. The Kenyan was a comfortable winner over a stacked field, stopping the clock in 12:58.67. Isiah Koech, winner at the same meeting last year, was second in 13:02.36 with steeplechase specialist Paul Kipsiele Koech third (13:02.69). Yitayal Atnafu set an Ethiopian junior indoor record of 13:04.18 in fourth.
Five days after clocking the second-fastest indoor 600m of all time, European indoor champion Adam Kszczot smashed his indoor PB in the 800m, showing he could be a formidable opponent this year for world record-holder David Rudisha. The 22-year-old Pole won by a clear 13 metres in 1:45.44 with Commonwealth champion Boaz Lalang a distant second (1:47.06).
Young Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut is following closely in compatriot Christophe Lemaitre's footsteps. Having won the European junior 100m title and made the 100m final at last year's World Championships, Vicaut opened his season in style by winning the 60m in Dusseldorf with a big PB of 6.53. In the women's race, European indoor champion Olesya Povh equalled her PB to win in 7.13.
Elsewhere, Nixon Chepseba edged out Bethwell Birgen in the men's 1500m, 3:35.53 to 3:35.93. Kevin Craddock handed Olympic champion Dayron Robles a defeat in the 60m hurdles, 7.53 to 7.55. The women's sprint hurdles was even closer as Lolo Jones out-dipped world silver medallist Danielle Carruthers by 0.01 to win in 7.94. Former world champion Christian Cantwell scored a narrow victory over Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski in the shot, winning with 21.31m to the Pole's 21.19m.
Since winning a surprise long jump gold at the 2005 World Championships at age 19, Tiana Madison has never really regained her best form in her specialist event. Now 26, the American hinted to a potential shift in focus at the US Classic in Fayetteville, after defeating a quality field in the 60m with one of the fastest runs in recent years.
Madison first won her heat in 7.05, breaking her 7.18 PB from three years ago. She then went even quicker in the final with 7.02 – a performance that puts her at equal 12th on the world all-time list.
She beat world indoor champion Veronica Campbell-Brown (7.08), early-season world leader Murielle Ahoure (7.09), who had earlier set an Ivory Coast record of 7.08 in the heats, and former world champion Allyson Felix (7.11), who had smashed her own lifetime best in the heats with 7.10.
They were just a handful of the fast times set on the sprint-friendly Fayetteville track. Lerone Clarke defeated Justin Gatlin in the 60m, clocking a world-leading 6.52 to the former Olympic champion's 6.57. World champion Kirani James was an easy winner of the 400m in 45.19 with Calvin Smith in second (45.73). In the B race, Demetrius Pinder followed up his recent 200m world-leading marks with a 45.40 performance for 400m.
The distance events were just as breath-taking. World silver medallist Silas Kiplagat won a high-quality mile with a Kenyan indoor record of 3:52.63, with Caleb Ndiku also dipping inside the previous national mark, his 3:52.66 being a world indoor age-19 best. Four other men dipped inside 3:55.
The meeting also hosted a two-mile event, which was not as competitive but saw another national record broken. Galen Rupp won by more than 20 seconds to shave a few tenths off the US indoor record, clocking 8:09.72.
Another US record was set at the meeting with world bronze medallist Jill Camarena-Williams adding two centimetres to her own American indoor shot record with 19.89m.
Other top performances at the US Classic include Ryan Whiting's 21.43m shot victory, Andrew Riley's 7.53 clocking to win the sprint hurdles, and Janay DeLoach winning the women's long jump with 6.83m as double world champion Brittney Reese was a distant third (6.65m).
At the Tyson Invitational – held at the same venue but on the eve of the US Classic – USA's top triple jumpers renewed their rivalry with Will Claye getting the edge over world champion Christian Taylor – 17.39m to 16.88m. Claye also won the long jump, equalling the world-leading mark with 8.24m.
As if there hadn't been enough records set in distance events over the past few days, Bernard Lagat added to the tally at the Millrose Games in New York. The world silver medallist showed that he is still a force at 37, and used his trademark kick to win the men's 5000m with an American record of 13:07.15, one second ahead of Lawi Lalang. Britain's Andy Baddeley was sixth with an indoor PB of 13:22.44, good enough for fourth on the UK all-time list.
This is the first season in six years that Sanya Richards-Ross has competed indoors, and the American 400m record-holder looks to be back to her best after a few tricky seasons. She was an easy winner of the 400m with a world-leading 50.89 – just 0.05 outside the world junior indoor record she set eight years ago.
One of the closest races at the Millrose Games was the men's 60m hurdles. American 110m hurdles record-holder David Oliver won it on the lean in 7.51 ahead of Terrence Trammell (7.52) and Aries Merritt (7.53).
It was also a good meeting for two of USA's world champions, as Jesse Williams took the high jump (2.32m) and Jenny Simpson defeated Shannon Rowbury in the 1500m, 4:07.27 to 4:07.66.
Elsewhere, Kristi Castlin won the women's sprint hurdles in 7.91 with Britain's Tiffany Porter finishing second in 7.93 – her fastest time ever outside a major championships. World bronze medallist Matthew Centrowitz won the mile with an absolute PB of 3:53.92.
A lot of the pre-World Indoors talk has centred around the pentathlon battle between defending champion Jessica Ennis and world champion Tatyana Chernova. But it might not be just a two-horse race if Yekaterina Bolshova has anything to do with it.
Having already obliterated her PB earlier in the year with 4746, Bolshova set PBs in all five individual events (8.41, 1.92m, 13.79m, 6.45m, 2:10.60) at the Russian Combined Events Championships to move to No.5 on the world all-time list with 4896. Runner-up Olga Kurban also smashed her lifetime best to score 4792, moving to 14th on the world all-time list.
In the men's heptathlon competition, two men cracked the 6000-point barrier with Artem Lukyanenko (6071) winning over Vasiliy Kharlamov (6043).
But those were not the best heptathlon performance of the week, as decathlon world record-holder Roman Sebrle scored 6105 at the Czech Championships – a record 22nd time he has cracked 6000 points for the seven-event discipline.
Sergey Bubka's Pole Vault Stars Meeting in Donetsk saw Renaud Lavillenie win on countback from Bjorn Otto, both clearing 5.82m. World silver medallist Lazaro Borges was fourth with an area record of 5.72m. Fellow Cuban Yarisley Silva also set an area record (4.60m) in the women's competition, but was beaten by Jirina Ptacnikova, who cleared a Czech record of 4.70m. But the surprise package was young Ukrainian Hannah Sheleh, who produced the second-best vault in history by a junior athlete, vaulting 4.60m in third place.
Elsewhere in various meetings around the world, Chris Thompson won the 5000m at the Husky Classic in Seattle with 13:29.94, while world silver medallist Sally Kipyego took the women's race in 15:15.41. At the Don Kirby Elite Indoor Meeting in Albuquerque, Gil Roberts scored a neat 200m/400m double in 20.58 and 45.39.
Over in Europe, Mutaz Essa Barshim won the high jump in Spala, Poland, with an Asian indoor high jump record of 2.33m. The women's shot was the best event at the Belarussian Championships with European champion Nadezhda Ostapchuk winning with 20.70m ahead of Natallia Mikhnevich (19.15m).

The letter which Columbus sent from Lisbon to the king and queen was everywhere published. It excited the enthusiasm first of Spain and then of the world. This letter found in the earlier editions is now one of the most choice curiosities of libraries. Well it may be, for it is the first public announcement of the greatest event of modern history.
Ferdinand and Isabella directed him to wait upon them at once at court. It happened that they were then residing at Barcelona, on the eastern coast of Spain, so that the journey required to fulfill their wishes carried him quite across the kingdom. It was a journey of triumph. The people came together in throngs to meet this peaceful conqueror who brought with him such amazing illustrations of his discovery.
The letter bearing instructions for him to proceed to Barcelona was addressed "To Don Christopher Columbus, our Admiral of the Ocean Sea, Viceroy and Governor of the islands discovered in the Indies." So far was he now raised above the rank of a poor adventurer, who had for seven years attended the court in its movements, seeking an opportunity to explain his proposals.
As he approached Barcelona he was met by a large company of people, including many persons of rank. A little procession was formed of the party of the Admiral. Six Indians of the islands who had survived the voyage, led the way. They were painted according to their custom in various colors, and ornamented with the fatal gold of their countries, which had given to the discovery such interest in the eyes of those who looked on.
Columbus had brought ten Indians away with him, but one had died on the voyage and he had left three sick at Palos. Those whom he brought to Barcelona, were baptized in presence of the king and queen.
After the Indians, were brought many curious objects which had come from the islands, such as stuffed birds and beasts and living paroquets, which perhaps spoke in the language of their own country, and rare plants, so different from those of Spain. Ornaments of gold were displayed, which would give the people some idea of the wealth of the islands. Last of all came Columbus, elegantly mounted and surrounded by a brilliant cavalcade of young Spaniards. The crowd of wondering people pressed around them. Balconies and windows were crowded with women looking on. Even the roofs were crowded with spectators.

Chianta Dorsey, History Major, writes:
I started my internship in Spring 2009 at the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University. I helped put together the collection of Homer C. McEwen, a pastor at the First Congregational Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. McEwen pastored at First Congregational between 1947-1979, so I found a lot of documents pertaining to the civil rights movement in Atlanta. There were also other documents and books in the center's library and archives that were at my disposal so I learned about other people besides Mr. McEwen.
Although I had the chance to work in other areas at the center, I found processing a collection to be the most interesting. A lot of detail, organization and work went into processing the collection and I wanted it to look as professionally done as possible for future scholars. The whole experience was very rewarding, and I not only learned a great deal about Homer McEwen but a lot about archival work and preservation as well. The staff at the center was very friendly and glad to answer the many questions I posed.

Power owner hopes for return to normalcy
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Pittsburgh Power owner Matt Shaner said Saturday that all but two players -- quarterback Kyle Rowley and kicker Taylor Rowan -- will be welcomed back to the team this week, even though he fired the entire roster before the season opener against the Orlando Predators.
"They just don't fit the character of our organization," Shaner said. "We need to have a cohesive team unit. You may have skill and talent, but if you are not a team player, you just don't fit how Pittsburgh operates."
Shaner gave no other reason why those players were singled out and will not return.
"Most of the rest of the players, to my knowledge, will re-sign with the team," he said. "They said they want to play football, they love the organization, they want to get prepared for Philadelphia (the next game March 23). Everything will be back to normal."
He said 10 players decided to leave the union, sign new contracts and play in the game.
"Numerous players said they worked too hard (to quit) and they love this organization," Shaner said.
Meanwhile, Rowley said union executive director Ivan Soto did not declare a strike until after the players from both teams were fired. He said "loyalty to his teammates" prevented him from playing.
On Saturday, Rowley and six Power players rode 17 hours from Orlando, Fla., to Pittsburgh in a van rented and driven by Arena Football League players union president James Baron. Power officials did not make arrangements for the fired players to return to Pittsburgh.
In a Facebook post yesterday, Rowan said the team removed his personal items from an apartment -- paid for by the team -- while he returned from Florida.
Rowley said playing in the game never was an option for him.
"You have to stand with your brothers," Rowley said. "If a man says he is going to do something, a man should do it. I don't think that's an opinion. It's a fact."
But Rowley said he understands why some players decided to play.
"They were put in such an awkward situation," he said. "I believe those guys were scared for their jobs and their livelihood."
Rowley, who has played indoor football every year since 2003, doesn't know what he will do next, although he wants to continue his career. Shaner said Friday that Rowley will never play for the Power.
"I know Matt Shaner had some unkind words to say about me," Rowley said. "I forgive him. I don't know if I want to play football in Pittsburgh for the Power under what they are doing. There were some decisions made that were really dumb.
"I would love to play arena football. I live for arena football."
Rowley, 33, said he doesn't know when that will happen.
"I don't know my options," he said. "I'm just trying to get home right now."
Meanwhile, AFL commissioner Jerry Kurz said negotiations aimed at negotiating a collective bargaining agreement will continue.
Shaner also addressed a report from the NFL Network on Friday that the Power went against an agreement with the Predators to play only five players from the original rosters.
The Predators had only five players from their preseason roster; the Power had 10. The teams filled out their rosters with players who had been working out in Orlando in the event of a work stoppage.
"There was no deal in place," Shaner said. "As the game went on, deals were being cut to keep the game fair."
The Power won, 40-26.

I recently typed the command

after that some things like

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
It is possible to come back from this messy situation.
I ran again the same kind on issue (some bug in a script I was writing) and solved it, but you need to ask some expert's help. Be very cautious!
First, my situation was easier to solve because I had a dual boot system (Ubuntu and my old Fedora install), but running the OS from a CD/DVD, or an USB key should do the same thing.
First I mounted my file systems like this (don't forget to create the mount points):
Then I ran the following command (my issue was only in a few - critical - directories) to copy the permissions on from the running system to the messy one (in fact, in my case, I installed an Ubuntu system in Virtual Box under fedora and got the permissions there):
And then I ran the restoreperms.sh script.
I was able again to boot on Ubuntu.
The content of restoreperms.sh will be something like:
I didn't test it but it must work for owners and owner groups too. Something like:
Of course, you have to take care here, that the UID and GID are the same on both systems, but for the system related users and groups, this shouldn't be an issue.
Also, setting owner will nullify SGID and SUID flags, which causes weird problems (For example, you won't be able to perform sudo unless the permission is 4755). You must, and should only set permissions AFTER setting owners. DO SAVE complete file permission information along with owner information.
The right (combined) command is more something like:
Note that additional care may be required to account for parentheses in filenames (under locales, for instance) and that chown may silently unset setuid and setgid bits set by chmod. In the latter case, which would break, say, /bin/su and /usr/bin/sudo, you may need to swap the order of exec clauses above.
Always watch what you run as sudo.
This thread explains that you can manually set some permissions back, and a script there helps with this, but still it's a big job. Rather follow the tips in the tread to save your installed packages (markings) and reinstall the OS, and apply your saved packages markings to get your applications back.
As far as I know, only System V packages and RPMs offer a command to repair file permissions. On System V (Solaris) it is pkgchk, with RPMs it is rpm --setperms.
Unfortunately, no such command seems to exist for Debian / Ubuntu packages - but I might be wrong here.
But even with the help of these commands, it's not a trivial task to bring your system back to a sane state, and by repairing it, you can easily cause new harm to your system - if you're not careful.
Other than Joseph said, you're not the first one, and you will not be the last one to enter such a command. But the idea alone, to change file permissions to 777 on a Unix system, is a strong indication that you're not very experienced with this kind of system. The best you can do in this situation is to backup what you will need again (home directories, configuration files, mail files?), and try a fresh install.
And you should be very, very careful, when you restore your - damaged - backup files.
Good luck!
P.S.: I'm just wondering what kind of problem you wanted to solve?
Wow, you killed it. It's dead! Try logging in and using the machine as root (since you enabled it), then change the group membership of root to users. This may or may not work because I've never tried it before but its worth a shot.

Serum testosterone levels of HbSS (sickle cell disease) male subjects in Lagos, Nigeria
1 Department of Morbid Anatomy & Histopathology, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Obafemi Awolowo College of Health Sciences, Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria
2 Department of Haematology and Blood Transfusion, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Nigeria
3 Department of Chemical Pathology & Immunology, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Nigeria
4 Department of Haematology and Blood Transfusion, Lagos State University, College of Medicine, Ikeja, Nigeria
BMC Research Notes 2011, 4:298 doi:10.1186/1756-0500-4-298Published: 17 August 2011
Infertility is a major problem in sickle cell disease patients, especially in males. In addition to low serum testosterone, other abnormalities involving the accessory sex organs, such as the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland, as well as marked decrease in ejaculate volume may be observed in male HbSS patients. Hence, the need to study the role of sex hormones as a cause of infertility in male HbSS patients.
An unmatched case-control study was performed using seventy-five consenting subjects from Lagos University Teaching Hospital. These included 47 patients with haemoglobin phenotype SS from the Sickle cell clinic and 28 volunteered medical students and members of staff with haemoglobin phenotype AA. Demographic data were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 5 mls of blood was collected from each subject between 9.00 am & 11.am, and assayed for serum testosterone concentration.
The concentrations of serum testosterone in HbSS patients ranged from 0.2 to 4.3 ng/ml with a mean of 1.28 ± 0.72 ng/ml whilst the values in HbAA controls ranged from 1.2 to 6.9 ng/ml with a mean of 2.63 ± 1.04 ng/ml. Seven (25.0%) of the 28 controls had serum testosterone concentration lower than the quoted reference (normal) range whereas 44 (93.6%) of the 47 HbSS subjects had serum testosterone concentration lower than the reference range.
Overall, subjects with HbSS have significantly lower mean serum testosterone than HbAA controls.

Floor Debate on the Amendment offered by Rep. Neugebauer
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows:
Amendment offered by Mr. Neugebauer: At the end of the bill, insert after the last section (preceding the short title) the following section: Sec. _. None of the funds made available in this Act for the National Institute of Mental Health may be used to fund grant number MH054142 & MH064527.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of today, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Neugebauer) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas. (Mr. Neugebauer).
(Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
My amendment would prohibit the National Institute of Mental Health from further funding a grant studying the decorations of dorm rooms and college students' Web pages. It also would prohibit NIMH from further funding a grant studying what makes for a meaningful day.
This would not cut out any funding for NIMH; it would simply focus research funding that is provided toward serious mental health issues and not interior decoration.
I have personally read this grant application and found that each participant was allowed to receive $100 for decorating his dorm room and, additionally, three $1,000 prizes were given away in a lottery to the study participants.
The second application states that ``for many students, attending college may be a source of meaning itself, as a stepping stone to future goals or as a means of occupying a meaningful social role.'' Now, I do not think we need to spend $1 million for college students to determine what is a meaningful day in their life.
Each of us meet with constituents on a daily basis with serious mental health issues threatening not only themselves, but their families. Right now, when Americans are facing these unbearable losses, taxpayer dollars should be focused on serious mental health issues like bipolar disorders and Alzheimer's.
Research areas under the NIMH include Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and suicide prevention. Grants to questionable studies like dorm room wall decorations cloud many of the good things that the National Institute of Mental Health does and can do.
According to a recent study published by the Treatment Advocacy Center and Public Citizen, ``Individuals with serious mental illnesses account for 58 percent of our direct costs for all mental illness. However, only 5.8 percent of the NIMH budget funds `clinically relevant' studies.''
I have no doubt that those receiving those NIH funds will conclude that their research is valid, but when I talk to Americans with mental health issues and mental illnesses, I want to be able to tell them that we are committing NIH funds to studying serious mental health issues.
Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake).
Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me time, and I thank the gentleman for bringing this important amendment forward. Every once in a while you just have to stand back and say, hey, you have gone too far here, and studying dorm room walls to see if the paintings or the decorations on them say something about the health of the student or whatnot is just going too far.
I can look back at college and I can tell my colleagues my dorm room walls were pretty bare. It said one thing about me, that I was broke, and that is what most students are worried about in college, just getting through. To tell them that they are paying taxes and some of their taxes are going to study what they have put on their dorm room walls, as to what that tells about them, is simply absurd.
So I think every once in a while you have to step back and say we will have none of this; you have gone too far, the taxpayers deserve better.
I thank the gentleman for bringing it forward, and I urge support for the amendment.
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining?
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mr. Thornberry). The gentleman from Texas has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining. Does the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Regula) seek the time in opposition?
Mr. REGULA. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Regula) is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. REGULA. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Hulshof).
Mr. HULSHOF. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me time.
I would like to commend the gentleman from Texas for working with me. I would like to commend the gentleman and thank the gentleman for the advance notice seeking to rescind funding for a competitive grant that has been awarded to a constituent of mine. I would like to, but I cannot because he did not have the common courtesy to advise me of that in advance.
Certainly, the gentleman portrays the amendment in a simplistic way, and I know that is certainly great fodder for an election-year press release, but I would say to the gentleman that the grant itself does have substance.
First about the scientist. Dr. Laura King, who is a constituent of mine at Columbia, Missouri, I would like to put her curriculum vitae into the Record, Mr. Chairman, at this point.
In addition, of course, to the many awards, she was most recently awarded the University of Missouri's Chancellor's Award for outstanding research and creativity activity in the area of social and behavioral sciences, not to mention the fact that the scientific field has recognized her because of this important work with the American Psychological Association, Templeton Positive Psychology Prize. In addition, as the curriculum vitae will indicate, Dr. King has had 30 separate presentations. She is preparing seven manuscripts in preparation, five manuscripts under review, 11 chapters and manuscripts already published, and 34 published articles; but particularly as it relates to the substance of the study, this study has relevance to the prevention of mental disorders, just as the gentleman says that he professes that he supports.
Giving patients tools to alleviate depression could minimize the development of other chronic health conditions that flow from depression. Specifically, I would say that studies have shown prevalence of depression and severe psychological problems among college students is growing. Sixty-one percent have reported feeling hopeless; 45 percent felt so depressed they could barely function; 9 percent felt suicidal.
Perhaps that is not of relevance or significance to my colleague, but I certainly would say to him that the average age of diagnosis for bipolar disorder is 21, and 27 years for unipolar depression, and 5 percent of college students drop out of college due to psychiatric disorders.
So, again, I recognize that the gentleman wants to talk about being fiscally responsible, and certainly Congress has a prerogative to exercise congressional oversight, but I would just say to the gentleman, as it relates specifically to the funding and the study specifically, that that is a legitimately peer-reviewed award by the National Institutes of Health, a grant was competitively sought, that was, in fact, awarded to a very distinguished scientist in this particular field, and I would urge a ``no'' vote on the gentleman's amendment.
Mr. REGULA. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith).
Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Chairman, first of all, I would like to thank the gentleman from Ohio (Chairman Regula) for yielding me time.
Mr. Chairman, I would also like to say very rarely, if ever, have I ever disagreed with my friend from Texas (Mr. Neugebauer) before, but I do oppose this amendment today.
The intent of this amendment is to ensure that the National Institutes of Health is prudent about which grants are funded through their peer-review process. While I agree with this intent, I do not think the amendment accomplishes that goal.
For instance, the University of Texas grant currently under discussion has already been funded and completed in previous fiscal years. Furthermore, any discussions about follow-up funding do not pertain to the Labor-HHS appropriations bill currently under consideration.
This project has received funding for a second study, but it was awarded by the National Science Foundation in the VA-HUD appropriations bill, which has not yet been brought to the House floor for consideration.
Mr. Chairman, I encourage my colleagues to vote against this amendment and instead focus our efforts on reforming the National Institutes of Health grant selection process.
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Chairman, can I inquire how much time I have left.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Neugebauer) has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Regula) has 1 minute remaining, and the gentleman from Ohio has the right to close.
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Pence).
(Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PENCE. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of the Neugebauer amendment as a commonsense statement about what I think the American people would have us do in this majority, and that is, after allowing our distinguished appropriators to do their level best in producing legislation that the gentleman from Ohio (Chairman Regula) has produced is to come to this floor and in the absence of a Presidential line item veto to try and do that ourselves.
The amendment in particular of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Neugebauer) in focusing, as it does, on funding that would in one case explore the value and merit of dormitory decorations is precisely that which, I believe if the President had a line item veto, would be struck from legislation again and again.
The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Neugebauer) is new to this institution, but he is demonstrating a courage and a conviction and, more to the point, a common sense that I think is a great value to this institution. I rise with great respect to the members of the committee who have produced this important and meritorious legislation to strongly support the Neugebauer amendment.
Bring common sense back to the spending process. Pass the Neugebauer amendment today.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Neugebauer) has 30 seconds remaining.
Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the remaining time. Well, first of all, I want to thank the distinguished chairman for his hard work in bringing this bill forward. It is a good bill. I believe that we do have to bring some common sense to this process, and we have to be good stewards of the American taxpayers' money, and there are some serious mental health issues that need to be addressed in this country. Our charge as Members of this Congress is to prioritize how we spend that money and make sure that we are putting it into areas where there are serious mental health issues at risk. Certainly, I think that this amendment is very positive and would encourage Members to vote in support of this amendment.
Mr. REGULA. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the remaining time. I am not going to oppose this in a vote because the grants are over. They have been completed. The amendment does not have any impact, in essence; but I think the gentleman is trying to make a point that they ought to be cautious about what type of grants they fund.
I would point out that NIH funds almost 40,000 grants annually; and, obviously, when you look at 40,000, you can find a couple that you might have some question about the efficacy of those particular grants, but on the other hand, I would not want to get our committee or this body in the position of trying to monitor or to be in the decision- making process on what grants are funded.
We have very capable people at NIH. It is peer-reviewed by physicians, by people who are very knowledgeable on the subject; and the objective of many of these grants is ultimately in good faith to, in some way, improve the health conditions. But given the fact that they are over with, I am not going to object to the amendment.
The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Neugebauer).
The amendment was agreed to.

"El Futuro del Transporte"
These are pieces I made for a show put on by Mike Broberg of the Birdseed Collective in Denver. The pieces are all collage done on glass or plexi, with work done on each side to give the pieces more depth than a traditional 2 dimensional piece. The pieces called "Creation" and "Destruction" were worked on by the very talented Phil Garrison.

This is a mural I just finished. It was for a little boy named Milo who loves the Yellow Submarine. His mom asked me to paint a large replica of the Beatles' Yellow Sub above his bed, and in the enclosed area underneath she wanted it to look like a playful childish version of the inside of a submarine.

Bishop's Hair Salon Mural
This is a mural I was commissioned to paint inside of Bishop's hair salon on NW 10th and Everett in the Pearl district in Portland. The animal heads were already there and the owner wanted to leave them up, so I had to work around them. It was very challenging to come up with something to work with them. The mural is finished, but I need to get some pictures of it. I will update this blog when I do.

Just look at things now, as winter warms into spring.
This is when the Nittany Lions need to make significant behind-the-scenes progress in order to thrive in the new, better Big Ten.
And at least there are positive, early signs:
--- Pennsylvania is producing its best crop of senior high school talent in years.
--- The NCAA has changed its recruiting rules, seemingly playing into the hands of methodical, take-your-time Penn State.
--- Even Paterno is allowing his assistants to verbally offer scholarships to promising players "as they see fit," without months-long deliberations and approval.
--- And, of course, those same crucial assistants, despite job opportunities elsewhere, will be back in State College in 2011.
The coaches come first, for sure. Even those who wish Paterno out at all costs must admit that, with him, success in 2011 depends on defensive coordinator Tom Bradley, linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden and defensive line coach Larry Johnson.
All were either bypassed for head coaching positions or turned down assistant jobs elsewhere in the past two months.
Recruiting is next.
The Penn State staff acts tentatively -- or severely handcuffed -- when the talent in its own state and surroundings areas is down. But this year, its class size is big and the potential haul from close range could be unprecedented.
Plus, the NCAA has come along and made it illegal to offer written scholarships until Aug. 1 of a player's senior year. That will force all schools to wait and evaluate months longer than usual -- which is something Penn State does anyway.
Now, the recruiting field is more even.
Which could turn out to be a critical bit of help after this past year's mediocre recruiting effort.
Could be perfect timing.
One player, fair or not, may well symbolize Penn State's success or failure in recruiting this year.
That would be Noah Spence from Bishop McDevitt High in Harrisburg, who has lineman size, wide receiver speed -- and honor roll grades.
He is the best high school defensive player in Pennsylvania and one of the best in the country.
There are other wondrous junior talents in and around the state, but Spence is the key. He's a defensive end, a position imperative to Penn State's success, and he would be tutored by Johnson, who sends players to the NFL.
He lives only 90 minutes from State College.
"You have to lock down your own state, and Penn State is not doing a real good job of that the past few years," said recruiting expert Sean Fitz of Lions247. "If you want to get yourself in the right direction you have to pick up the top kid in your state."
"Only so many guys" said Cory James of Scout.com, "are 6-4, 230 pounds and can move like a deer. ... Yeah, you already got a bunch of defensive ends this past year, but (Spence) is such a freak type of player that you have to get him."
But can the Lions?
Can they cash in on all of these recruiting advantages?
Can they still pull in a top 10 class with Paterno, who doesn't visit recruits?
At least they are flooding this type of talent with early verbal offers.
But they must stay the course.
The biggest test will be winning over that game-changing pass rusher in Harrisburg.
"Probably the two quickest first steps I've ever seen a high school kid have on the defensive line," McDevitt coach Jeff Weachter said of Spence.
Spence is a dominator but, in a larger sense, he is a wondrous opportunity in this crucial Penn State offseason.
Soon enough, we'll begin to see what will be made of this good fortune.
A legend's last stand depends on it.
