Two Grass Fires Monday Morning
Posted By News On March 30, 2010 @ 6:30 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The Knoxville Rural Fire Department and the Indiana Township Fire Department were called to a grass fire at 1744 Oregon shortly before noon today. As they were finishing extinguishing the blaze, they were called to 1720 135th Place for another grass fire. The Columbia Fire Department's quick attack vehicle joined them in extinguishing the blaze and the fires were put out within an hour and a half.

The purpose of the study investigated and clarified the relationship between emergent literacy and novice reading in a second language (L2). During the past two decades, little research regarding this relationship has been conducted. The majority of studies that examine emergent-like reading strategies, look at novice L2 readers' use of sight or known words. Further, the studies that have examined L2 reading have concentrated on the measurable product of novice L2 reading and been of short duration. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, this study examines novice L2 reading of Russian over an extended time period, in order to determine how and why novice L2 readers use emergent reading strategies. Further, the study examines whether novice L2 readers progress through developmental stages of reading as do emergent readers. Data were gathered from classroom observations, questionnaires, and 83 think-aloud reading protocol sessions conducted with eight university students enrolled in beginning Russian. Reading was viewed using the Systemic-functional model of language learning (Hasan and Perrett, 1994) as a theoretical basis. Data collection was conducted using the theoretical perspective of orientational qualitative inquiry (Patton, 1990). Data management was aided by a HyperCard stack. Data analysis was conducted using miscue analysis (Goodman and Goodman, 1994) and looking for recurring regularities (Guba, 1978; Patton, 1990). Evidence from data analysis indicates two trends among novice L2 readers: (a) They progress through three stages of reading development, and (b) they use emergent reading strategies as tools during the L2 reading process. Discussion of the study centers on reading that occurred as novice Russian readers were observed in classroom and tutorial reading situations and includes four case studies. These two trends have significant implications for L2 instruction, specifically in terms of the use of reading as a tool for L2 instruction. In addition, this study adds to the L2 reading research data base as an additional study conducted over an extended time period and indicates that further research in this area is needed in other L2s, among other age groups with other L1s, and in greater numbers.

text: Art history professor Martin Kemp (The Oxford History of Art) previously examined Leonardo da Vinci's life in 2004's Leonardo; now he concentrates on the artist's notebooks in Leonardo Da Vinci: Experience, Experiment, and Design. Kemp speculates that da Vinci brainstormed and doodled as a way of thinking out loud; remarkably, his seemingly three-dimensional drawings are so complex, they continue to intrigue and baffle even today's most scientific minds. Particularly interesting is Kemp's documentation of recent scientific efforts to build Leonardo's fantastic flying machines. In 2000, Adrian Nicholas successfully launched himself from a 3,000-foot height using a parachute modeled after a da Vinci drawing. Earlier, James Wink of Tetra Associates and Kemp collaborated on an ornithopter which mimicked another, more birdlike da Vinci flying machine.

If you're planning on watching the Big Game, you may be wondering what you can bring to make the party that much better. This is the perfect opportunity to indulge in all those greasy, fatty foods that you love but may not be able to bring yourself to eat very frequently. Burgers, chili and chicken wings are old standbys, as is a heaping plate of gooey nachos. Here's a quick and easy recipe, courtesy of the Food Network, that your guests may have a hard time resisting.
1 can refried beans 1 large bag white corn tortilla chips 1 medium onion, chopped 1 cup shredded pepper jack 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced crosswise 1 can chili, or your own recipe 1 cup shredded Cheddar 1 cup sour cream 1 cup green onion, chopped 1 tomato, diced
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, cook the refried beans until they are loose enough that you can easily spoon them onto the chips.
You'll want to work quickly from this point on - spread a layer of chips over a large platter and place about a teaspoon of beans over all of them. Next, sprinkle onions, jack cheese and and jalapeno slices on top. On top of that, add the chili and some cheddar. Create another layer of chips and repeat the process until all of the ingredients are gone. Place everything in the oven and allow to bake for five to 10 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted. Top your nachos with sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes and a few extra jalapenos if you like and serve immediately.
If you'd like to add a bit more to the recipe, AllRecipes.com recommends cooking some shredded chicken with crushed garlic and a bit of green onion until tender and adding it on top of everything else. This will make the nachos much heavier, so be sure to take into account everything else you'll probably be eating that day.

Governor Beshear signed three bills Friday in West Liberty which will bring more help to tornado victims.
House Bill 255 will offer a sales tax rebate for any building materials and supplies tornado victims buy, something state and local officials are hoping encourage people to rebuild in their communities.
The devastation was severe, but almost three months later Morgan Countians are still pressing forward and rebuilding.
John Clark owns a convenience store that used to serve the people of West Liberty, now he is making a $1 million investment to make sure his store will do that again.
"This will come together real quick. It's going to be a nice show piece as you enter West Liberty," said Clark.
He says it was never a question whether or not he would rebuild back right here in West Liberty. In fact, he says he is even expanding his business.
"We were going to build back on the small piece of property we had, and it just worked out as we were preparing to work and clean up this piece the other piece behind us came open," said Clark.
Friday, Governor Beshear thanked John Clark for his example and signed a bill that will help those trying to rebuild.
"It doesn't just help one group. It helps everybody, if they'll relocate and rebuild in their community. They will get to use this 6% tax rebate credit," said Morgan County Judge Executive Tim Conley.
Governor Beshear also signed Senate Bill 55 which will allow first responders to cross state lines, and House Bill 421 which offers more protection to homeowners.

text: Paw Paw police in the classroom to build ties with community Updated: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 | PAW PAW, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Law enforcement and educators often team up to teach students the 'do's' and 'don'ts' early on, but what about police teaching kids in the classroom?It's happening right now in Paw Paw, through a new program in Van Buren County.It's part of the Paw Paw Police Department's Community Policing Approach.The idea is to give students an introduction to officers early on--a proven way to build trust and lower crime.While the role playing has teachers saying things you wouldn't expect them to say--as one "offers a cigarette" to a student--it's the real life scenarios that they say will leave a lasting impression.Officer Tim McMeekan still works the road, but has also been working with students throughout Paw Paw since February, introducing kids to law enforcement where they're most comfortable."These children will now see officers in their classrooms in a positive way, starting in kindergarten and it will follow them through high school," said Paw Paw Police Chief Eric Marshall.It's a first for Van Buren County, where McMeekan is trained through the Michigan State Police's T.E.A.M. program--Teaching, Education, and Mentoring."Just helping kids understand they are part of a community makes a difference in itself, when you are able to connect them with it's a positive for everybody," said Paw Paw Superintendent Tony Habre.Teachers throughout the district sign-up for a session with Officer McMeekan, learning lessons based on grade, ranging from computer safety to stranger danger.Kids also get a chance to ask their own questions as part of the lesson."The kids are going to grow up trusting police officers; they are not just there when things are bad," Chief Marshall said.The district and Paw Paw Police plan to evaluate the program in May.They'll go over what worked and what didn't work this year, in the hopes of getting officers into more classrooms next year.

JBL 610 Bluetooth iPod headphones at FCC
updated 01:30 pm EDT, Fri October 27, 2006
JBL 610 iPod Headphones
JBL is planning its own set of Bluetooth headphones for iPods, an FCC approval filing revealed today. The test results show the JBL 610, a set of over-the-ear headphones designed with the same style as the company's Creature desktop speakers. The set is designed with the iPod in mind and includes a transmitter that will attach to the Dock Connector on fourth-generation and newer iPods. While the 610s are expected to share features with other Bluetooth headphones, like music controls built into one of the earpieces and 8-10 hours of playback time, JBL adds that the headphones are made for travelers and will be bundled with a dual-format airline power adapter and a port for traditional line-in audio when the batteries expire. Availability hasn't been set but is likely by early next year. Click through for a gallery of additional photos.

WeNews commentator
Saturday, August 20, 2011
An online discussion group "Rotis not Riots" has started to look at the causes of last week's riots in England. That offers a bit of relief from the authoritarian backlash coming from the country's privileged-male power structure.
(WOMENSENEWS)--In the vacuum of discussions connecting women to this month's ferocious riots in England, a group called "Rotis not Riots" launched on Facebook this week "to make sense of this unprecedented violence from a feminist perspective."
The group emerged from a casual conversation between three women dealing with the helplessness they felt in the aftermath of unrest across the country.
Roti is a type of unleavened bread that many Indian women, who have traditionally been the cooks in the family, are skilled at preparing. It also plays on the word riot, scrambling the letters into something with warm and nurturing connotations. Organizers say they chose it to touch on the "unique role that women play in providing both physical and emotional support for their families."
With 272 members as of yesterday, the group is confronting the government's championing harsh punishment. Prime Minister David Cameron and the Conservative Party have pushed for water canons and rubber bullets, curfews and blacking out social media. Local borough councils have responded by handing out eviction notices and local courts are being pressured to hand out extraordinarily harsh prison sentences for those accused of participating in the riots.
Rotis not Riots has given themselves the task of "thinking about more meaningful and effective ways to reprimand rioters than prison sentences and evictions of entire families," seeking instead community service and meeting victims to create a productive route out of the riots.
But trying to understand what caused the riots may not have much traction for those who are dealing with the deaths of the five men who were killed during the riots and the devastation of personal and business property, resulting in hundreds of millions of pounds in insurance claims, according to the Association of British Insurers.
The online group is currently an outlet for outrage at badly-written commentary in other media that demonize those involved in the riots. Although not loaded with feminist theory, posts on the group's Facebook page reveal a community coming to terms with the flood of information in the international media.
It is hard to predict the outcome of the group, existing currently as a closed online network, but it provides a welcome move into more progressive conversations that include a feminist perspective.
Rotis not Riots has already taken a stance by championing a petition on change.org, in response to a London borough's decision to evict a mother and her 8-year-old daughter from their council house because her son was involved in rioting. The petition had 2,257 signatures and 188 supportive comments after seven days.
Like many other British people now living outside of the U.K., I spent the first and second nights of the fierce rioting glued to my computer screen, following updates of the movement of violently exuberant youth through London and watching news sources like the BBC and the Guardian live-blogging every second of a bloody revolution.
England's political cabinet--made up of 506 men and 144 women, only 27 of whom are from ethnic minorities--lined up to condemn the "sheer criminality" of the riots and looting.
The riots did spur some talk of disenfranchisement and unemployment though, including Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of The Place to Be and Kids Company, two charities in the U.K. Even Prince Charles spoke of gang culture as a cry for help for those who don't feel like they belong at a short stop in Hackney, one of the affected boroughs of London.
The Guardian's examination of 500 cases related to the riots that have been heard in court showed that only 9.5 percent of the defendants were female, ranging in age from 15 to 60.

What a disgrace. The very notion that anything at all can excuse the stealing, the violence, the burning, the killing, the horror of the London riots -- let alone an effort to stop them by having something like quiet discussion -- is an unconscionable effort at denying the repugnant behavior of the rioters. And whether single mothers are part of the problem or not, what certainly IS to blame for the behavior of these derelict kids is the lack of responsible parenting -- whoever the parents may be. The problem isn't the politicians: it's the irresponsibility and laziness of the rioters and the people who should be raising them, but aren't. A true feminist would never abandon her responsibility to society, let alone pass it off to others.Shame on WeN, and especially shame on this idiotic "Roti" initiative.

@ Abigail: What a strange reading of the article. I could find no suggestion of excusing the behaviours of the rioters nor could I find any proposal that the rioters be dealt with by quiet discussion nor, as it happens, any hint that politicians were being blamed for the riots.

A rural Cloverdale house was destroyed by fire Monday morning, leaving two longtime Cloverdale brothers without a home.
Jake, 71, and Fred Wagner, 68, had gone to breakfast Monday morning and returned to find the house burning and firefighters at work, Cloverdale fire officials said.
Firefighters were alerted when a vineyard worker called at 10:43 a.m. to report seeing smoke in the area of River Road and Gibson Lane.
Cloverdale firefighters found the house ablaze and called for further help.
The first engine was at the fire at 10:52 a.m., and the fire was contained at 11:36 a.m., according to Cal Fire dispatch records.
Ten Cloverdale and four Geyserville firefighters responded to the call in the rural area east of Cloverdale.
The Wagner brothers had lived in the family home for decades.
Cloverdale Fire Chief Jason Jenkins said the 1,000-square-foot home was destroyed. He estimated the loss at about $100,000.
Firefighters were attempting to help the brothers recover personal items from the charred remains. Local Red Cross volunteers were helping provide them temporary housing and other immediate needs.
The Wagners declined to be interviewed.

Jamie Foxx and Kelly Rowland could be stepping out on their first date any day now after reportedly swapping numbers at the Oscar's earlier this year.
Both were in attendance when the 85th International Academy Awards kicked off at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on February 24 – and in a candid live interview at the time Jamie, 45, came clean about his secret crush on the Destiny's Child star.
While Kelly initially feigned embarrassment, she was later assured by smooth talking Jamie that he was 'serious' about taking her out on a date – before asking if they could swap numbers.
According to National Enquirer she agreed to pass on her digits and 'promised that they would reach out so they could talk' – although it's not yet known if romance has blossomed in the weeks following the Oscar's, which saw Jamie's Django Unchained get a Best Picture nomination.
Who Me? Kelly Rowland could soon be stepping out on a date with Jamie Foxx (WENN)
The actor – a past Oscar-winner thanks to his portrayal of the late Ray Charles in 2004 biopic Ray – has two children with different women, but previously admitted that marriage doesn't interest him.
"I don't think anything's ruled out," he said, in quotes taken from Yahoo! Entertainment. "It's tough. I feel like I've been put on this earth for a certain thing and maybe marriage didn't come with that.
"(My relationship with my children's mums is) just so cool and calm and that's all you need. Somebody who is not thirsty for what I do. In order to make it in this business it has to be someone who is willing to sacrifice more than what they would in a normal relationship."
See Kelly join Rihanna and Kylie Monogue at a pre-Grammy's brunch earlier this year!

Snow through 6 PM this Evening
2:20 PM Update:
We have noticed a drying trend in northern Madison and Jackson Counties; snow will taper to just flurries (maybe a dusting) north of US 72. To the south, there is still potential for some locally higher amounts in the mountains in Marshall, DeKalb, Etowah and Cherokee Counties.
The sun is actually shining now in Florence, and temperatures are warming quickly into the 40s behind the snow. Most roads west of US 231 will be passable this evening as warm ground temperatures melt the snow from beneath. Anything that does not dry out tonight will freeze hard in the morning as patchy black ice. School delays are possible.

CF McCutchen's deal with Pirates finally falls into place
TribLIVE Sports Videos
BRADENTON, Fla. — The multiyear contract All-Star outfielder Andrew McCutchen agreed to means Pirates fans can finally put Barry Bonds behind them.
After the 1992 season, Bonds left the Pirates and took a six-year, $43.75 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. Ever since, the Pirates have been searching for their next great young star.
McCutchen could be that player, and this time the Pirates will not let him get away.
McCutchen, 25, agreed to a six-year contract worth $51.5 million. The deal, which will be finalized today, is the second-largest package in team history. Jason Kendall got a six-year, $60 million contract in 2000.
This year, McCutchen will make $500,000 plus a $1.25 million signing bonus. He will get $4.5 million in 2013, $7.25 million in 2014, $10 million in 2015, $13 million in 2016 and $14 million in 2017. For 2018, there is a $14.75 million club option or a $1 million buyout.
Talks were slow at times, but things got moving quickly Sunday. By late in the evening a deal was in place.
McCutchen smiled Monday when asked about his new contract.
"I can't say anything until my name's on that dotted line," he said.
General manager Neal Huntington declined to comment on McCutchen's status until the contract is formally announced.
By buying out all three arbitration years and at least his first two years of free agency, the Pirates ensure McCutchen will play for them during what should be the prime of his career. Also, his contract is proof management can follow through on its plan to lock up its core, young players — something that no doubt has caught the attention of Neil Walker, Pedro Alvarez and the top prospects in the farm system.
"Definitely, it should be a big deal to Pittsburgh," said Steve Hammond, McCutchen's agent. "The Pirates could've said, 'We can't do this, he's too good a player and it will take too much money.' Andrew could've gone through arbitration and into free agency and signed somewhere else. But we're here, and we're staying."
The process took more than two years and included two earlier contract offers that were spurned by McCutchen. The talks went in fits and starts, with periods of intense negotiation followed by weeks or even months of limited contact.
As they tried to sign McCutchen, the Pirates also were negotiating with Walker. At the time, the Pirates figured Walker might be easier to sign. If Walker came to terms first, the team would try to use that as leverage in talks with McCutchen.
By the end of last season, things were quiet between Hammond and the team.
As its template for a deal, McCutchen's camp was using the six-year, $51 million contracts given to two other standout outfielders from the 2005 draft: Arizona's Justin Upton and Cincinnati's Jay Bruce.
McCutchen was the 11th pick in the 2005 draft. Upton was first overall, and Bruce was the 12th pick in the same draft.
The Pirates were focused on an amount about $10 million less.
In the offseason, the talks reignited. Owner Bob Nutting, convinced of McCutchen's star power, approved funding to hike the Pirates' proposal. This was different from the team's approach under different ownership in '92, when Bonds never got a serious offer before bolting.
"It was clear to us that the Pirates were very serious about making Andrew a priority," Hammond said. "They negotiated like it was important to them. They were tough, but fair."
Now that McCutchen's contract is done, the Pirates will shift their focus to Walker. A source close to those talks Monday said "a lot of work still needs to be done" and that a deal does not seem imminent.
The complication with Walker is that he will gain Super Two status after this season, meaning he will gain an extra year of arbitration eligibility — which is leverage for the player.
McCutchen is among five Pirates signed beyond this season.
Last August, Jose Tabata got a six-year, $15 million extension. Clint Barmes, A.J. Burnett and Alvarez also will be back. There also is a $3.5 million club option in Rod Barajas' contract.

Challenges still exist
With the above set of benefits one thing is sure for us: we have no regrets about taking the OpenFlow SDN path for this very large and crucial internal WAN. What's more, the development, testing and operations experience has reinforced our belief that SDN is the future for networking. All the same, there have been some challenges, and it is up to the SDN community to share this sort of learning.
For a start, managing this network is different. Operations staff are no longer just looking at network devices, they are looking at a system made of devices, controllers and applications, and this requires new thinking. This highlighted the need for new tools that would consolidate this diversity of data and present it in a useful, graphic way to help the operations staff visualise and work with systems, rather than just devices. SDN does furnish the base structure to create such tools, but we still need to develop them.
The basic issues of any traditional network - latency, hardware programming speed, queuing and packet I/O performance - still need to be addressed in an SDN system, but it should by now be clear that we had greater flexibility to work around these classic problems in a more innovative manner.
One example was a problem with our specific Open VSwitch implementation that arose early on as a consequence of having both protocol packet I/O and flow updates running over a single TCP stream. Our OpenFlow agent serialised the processing of all the OpenFlow commands, so you got large sets of flow updates with hundreds of route changes and these were holding back the time sensitive protocol I/O packets. Time-sensitive protocols then began to expire, creating further flow updates and blocking even more data. The solution was pretty simple - we just added some advanced queue prioritisation - but it shows that you do need to be aware of basic networking issues when developing SDN solutions and vendors should bear this in mind.
SDN and the future of networking
OpenFlow in particular, and SDN in general, are still in the early stages of development, but I can say with confidence that, even at this stage, OpenFlow has proved its value to us in optimising traffic efficiency on an extremely large real-world WAN.
The benefits we got from implementing a pioneering OpenFlow solution can be summarized in terms of:
• Unified network-centric approach
• Leveraging high performance servers for more sophisticated traffic control
• Faster, more consistent failover
• Quicker development and easier testing to accelerate deployment
• Low impact system upgrades
• Flexibility, no longer constrained by individual hardware device limitations
Although we have only been describing benefits on Google's internal facing WAN, I can now truly claim that these are beginning to impact the Cloud services we provide - in terms of faster response, better search, greater reliability and so on.
The world needs faster, better and more reliable Internet, and it will continue to evolve. SDN and OpenFlow have an important contribution to make towards realizing these needs. For my part I will conclude with two main items on my wish list.
First, we need more carrier class OpenFlow enabled devices, please. Google has gone a long way as a pioneer developing its own solutions, but we want a marketplace where we can shop for future developments.
Secondly, as a member of the ONF board I am obviously a keen supporter of standards to ensure interoperability and build market confidence in SDN. However, in my personal opinion, we should focus on standardising at the ground level - getting a rock solid OpenFlow protocol - but above that we must preserve freedom to innovate.
The greatest gift of software-defined networking is that it liberates rigid structures to become flexible, programmable and organically evolvable systems. Let's build that on a firm foundation, but let's also maintain a fertile, open environment for the exciting future of networking.

The Listening Life
Friday, July 20, 2012
In his 84 years Tony Schwartz produced over 30,000 recordings, thousands of groundbreaking political ads, media theory books and Broadway sound design, invented the portable recorder, delivered hundreds of lectures and had full careers as an ad executive and a pioneering folklorist. And he did it all without leaving his zip code. In a piece that originally aired in 2008, the Kitchen Sisters, look back at his life spent listening.
Comments [8]
What an amazing man...Tony Schwartz. Very human and down-to-earth, but unique in his own way...going out and recording the sounds of the world and doing what he could to make the world a better place through his ad agency position. I'm privileged to know his son, a brilliant young man who is a most talented jazz saxophonist. He carries his father's intelligence, curiosity and humanity. We should have more people in this world like these two.
I really really enjoyed this piece.
This piece was, uh, (insert pause between "edited by and Brook")fabulous.
I'd been listening for this kind of story all my life!
WOW! sublime
Does anyone know the name of the song from the beginning, it has Jimmy Giuffre playing clarinet, I have been searching but no luck yet. If you know the name of the piece please leave it in the comments, thanks.
I enjoyed this segment. Mr. Schwartz sounds like an intelligent, creative and compassionate individual.
Thank god Tony Schwartz made LBJ's "Daisy". Otherwise an arrogant warmonger would have been elected president. Good thing that didn't happen!
In 1984 I was completing my Master's degree in Mass Communications by writing a thesis on the Power of Advertising in Presidential Elections, and kept seeing Tony Schwartz's name in my research. I tracked down his phone number in NYC and gave him a call.
Explaining why I was calling, Tony politely said he didn't have time at the moment, but he would call me back. I never expected a call, but 3 days later he indeed called and asked if I had time to talk. An hour later he said he was "...sorry for wasting your time with my rambling."
He finished by asking for a copy of the thesis, which I forwarded upon completion. About a month later I received a card congratulating me on a thorough work, well done. I tell you...that was more exciting and gratifying than graduating that June "With Distinction."
It was great to hear his voice again!!

|Appalachian School of Law Shootings
This shows the part of each story that mentions how Peter O. was captured. The full text of these stories is here, while an index is here
Wed, 16 Jan 2002
Roger Alford
A student who had been dismissed from law school went on a shooting spree Wednesday, killing the school's dean, a professor and a student before other students tackled him, officials said.
Three students, including one from Kentucky, were injured in the hail of gunfire.
L. Anthony Sutin, dean of the Appalachian School of Law, and Professor Thomas Blackwell were gunned down in their offices, according to school officials. The third person slain was student Angela Dales, 33, of Vansant, said State Police spokesman Mike Stater.
The suspect, Peter Odighizuwa, went to the school to meet with Sutin about his dismissal, which went into effect Wednesday, authorities said. Odighizuwa first stopped by the office of Professor Dale Rubin to talk about his grades, and as he left he reportedly asked Rubin to pray for him, Stater said.
Rubin, reached by telephone, declined to comment.
After visiting Rubin, Odighizuwa went to Sutin's and Blackwell's offices and shot them both with a .380-caliber pistol, Stater said.
Odighizuwa then went downstairs into a common area and opened fire on a crowd, said Dr. Jack Briggs, who has a private practice a half-mile from the school.
"When I got there there were bodies laying everywhere," Briggs said.
Briggs said he had treated Odighizuwa in the past year. He described the Odighizuwa as a Nigerian who had flunked out last year and been allowed to return. Odighizuwa was known on campus as "Peter O" and was a naturalized U.S. citizen, authorities and students said.
He is being held in the Buchanan County Jail on three counts of capital murder and three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony, authorities said. Ellen Qualls, spokeswoman for Gov. Mark Warner, said Odighizuwa, 42, had a history of mental instability that school officials were aware of.
After the shootings, Odighizuwa left the building and was tackled and held down by several male students, including 30-year-old Todd Ross of Johnson City, Tenn.
"He came out and walked down on the sidewalk, had his hands up in the air with the gun. At some point I yelled his name and told him to drop the gun and to get on the ground," Ross said.
Odighizuwa dropped the gun, and another student then confronted him and distracted him.
"And then I ran across and tackled him," Ross said.
Two or three other students then helped him subdue Odighizuwa.
Odighizuwa "struggled after we got him on the ground, but then just laid there," Ross said. He said Odighizuwa kept shouting, '"I have nowhere to go. I have nowhere to go."'
School president Lucius Ellsworth was in Richmond for a meeting with government officials Wednesday and flew back to Grundy when he learned about the shootings.
"Each of us is suffering, but as a family, we can find strength to pass through this terrible dark and tragic valley," he told reporters at an evening news conference.
Hospital officials identified the three wounded students as Rebecca Brown, 38, of Roanoke; Martha Madeline Short, 37, of Grundy; and Stacy Beans, 22, of Berea, Ky. Amy Stevens, a spokeswoman for Wellmont Health Systems, said Short was in fair condition, and Beans and Brown were in fair condition after surgery Wednesday evening.
Beans is a 1997 graduate of Paducah Tilghman High School and graduated last year from Berea College, The Paducah Sun reported in a story to be published Thursday.
Justin Marlowe, a first-year law student from Richwood, W.Va., said the suspect had been in all of his classes.
"He was a real quiet guy who kept to himself. He didn't talk to anybody, but he gave no indication that he was capable of something like this," Marlowe said.
Marlowe said Odighizuwa had flunked out of school a year ago and "the dean bent over backwards to get him enrolled again."
Blackwell, the professor who was killed, taught classes in contracts that Odighizuwa took during the fall and winter up to the time of his dismissal, students said.
The private law school has an enrollment of about 170 students. It will be closed the remainder of the week, officials said. Local elementary, middle and high schools were locked down for an hour after the shootings.
Sutin, a 1984 graduate of Harvard Law School, also was an associate professor at the school. He left a Justice Department position as an assistant attorney general to found the school after working for the Democratic National Committee and Bill Clinton's campaign in 1992, according to the Web site of Jurist, the Legal Education Network.
"My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Sutin's wife, Margaret, their two children and to all of their family and friends," said Attorney General John Ashcroft.
"The entire Department of Justice is mourning the loss of a dedicated public servant who served the Department of Justice with distinction, integrity and honor."
The school opened five years ago in a renovated junior high school in Grundy, a town of about 1,100 just a few miles south of the Kentucky and West Virginia state lines.
School founders hope to ease a shortage of lawyers in the coalfields of southwest Virginia, help change the region's image and foster renewal in Appalachia. The American Bar Association rejected the school's first application for accreditation in 1999.
The school graduated its first class of 34 in 2000. There are about 15 faculty members, including alumni of law schools at the University of California at Berkeley and Columbia, Harvard and Howard universities.
"You read about it in other areas, but when it comes home it really hurts," said state Del. Jackie Stump of Grundy, fighting back tears as he hung his head and walked away from a news conference in Richmond.

Michigan's watershed moment
Rick Snyder, who is hardly a human cactus, warned Michigan's labor leaders. The state's mild-mannered Republican governor, in his first term in his first public office, has rarely been accused of being, or praised for being, a fire-breathing conservative. When unions put on Michigan's ballot in November two measures that would have entrenched collective bargaining rights in the state Constitution, Snyder told them they were picking a fight they might regret.
Both measures lost resoundingly in the state with the fifth-highest rate of unionization (17.5 percent, down from 28.4 percent in 1985) and, not coincidentally, the sixth-highest unemployment rate (9.1 percent). And Republicans decided to build upon that outcome by striking a blow for individual liberty and against coerced funding of the Democratic Party. Hence the right-to-work laws passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature to prohibit the requirement of paying union dues as a condition of employment.
The unions' frenzy against this freedom is as understandable as its desire to abolish the right of secret ballots in unionization elections: freedom is not the unions' friend.
After Colorado in 2001 required public employees unions to have annual votes reauthorizing collection of dues, membership in the Colorado Association of Public Employees declined 70 percent.
After Indiana's government in 2005 stopped collecting dues from unionized public employees, the number of dues-paying members plummeted 90 percent.
In Utah, the automatic dues deductions for political activities were ended in 2001; made voluntary, payments from teachers declined 90 percent.
After a similar measure in Washington state in 1992, the percentage of teachers making contributions fell from 82 to 11.
The Democratic Party's desperate opposition to the liberation of workers from compulsory membership in unions is because unions are conveyor belts moving coerced dues money into the party.
Nationwide, resentment of union power has been accumulating like steam in a boiler. The Wall Street Journal reports that in the last four years "nearly every state ... has enacted some form of pension changes" clawing back unsustainable benefits promised to unionized government employees.
The most conspicuous battle was in Wisconsin, where Republican Gov. Scott Walker survived organized labor's attempt to recall him as punishment for restricting collective bargaining by unionized government workers. After Walker's reforms, Indiana under Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels became the 23rd right-to-work state and the first in the industrial Midwest.
If you seek a monument to Michigan's unions, look, if you can without wincing, at Detroit, where the amount of vacant land is approaching the size of Paris. And where the United Auto Workers, which once had more than 1 million members and now has about 380,000, won contracts that crippled the local industry — and prompted the growth of the nonunionized auto industry that is thriving elsewhere.
Detroit's rapacious and oblivious government employees unions are parasitic off a near-corpse of a city that has lost 25 percent of its population since 2000.
Democrats who soon will celebrate two of their party's saints at Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners should jettison either their opposition to right-to-work laws or their reverence for Jefferson, who said: "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions, which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical."

Die Hard (1988)
"Yipee ki yay motherfucker! In all seriousness, Die Hard is the best movie ever made. Think of it like this; if every movie in the world were suddenly erased but one, you wouldn't want that one to be Citizen Kane. You can watch Die Hard over and over again and still scream at John McClane to put his shoes back on and other things like, "Don't trust him John, that's Hans Gruber!" without ever losing the fun or suspense. Trust me I've watched Die Hard at least 20 times (probably way more) and it DOES NOT GET OLD."

Rational Individualist, Rational self-interest, Individual Rights--limited government libertarian heavily influenced by Objectivism
Posted 18 December 2014 - 12:01 PM
Thanks for the explanations Michael, there are several pieces of useful information and a couple of analogies I can relate to in there -- ideas I've had on my mind but which needed confirmation from an external source.
Mirror neurons, higher and lower-brain conflict, 40:11,000,000 sensory inputs. To hear the science and research behind the topic is a lot more valuable than mysticism.
I don't mind AA, and even before I went in there I understood that group therapy, and not mysticism or procedure, was the effective element in such programs. My own group has a healthy subgroup of atheists who, while not Objectivists by any stretch, have an approach I can relate better to.
Anyway, once again, glad to see people here have similar experiences and that an effective program like AA is not dismissed outright -- that would have bothered me.
Moving from a mindset fermented in alcohol to one where we finally think of ourselves as non-users or even alcoholics who do not drink anymore is the paradigm shift necessary to stop and stay stopped in my opinion. I have heard many people claim to have experienced that shift within a very short time and perhaps to a degree that is true. However, I believe it takes a longer period of time for the real deep rooted changes to take place. Often these are accomplished in small increments that build one upon the other until major changes occur in our thinking and our reactions to the world around us. These changes are necessary because just removing the alcohol from the system is not enough to turn most alcoholics into sober people. If this were so we could get ourselves locked up a month or so and everything would be fine. The amount of relapses which occur with those trying to become sober or clean attest to the fact it is just not that easy for majority of people.
The last thing I wish to do is to come off like I am bragging but I experienced the depths of alcohol abuse and the resultant destruction which it brought about in my life and have now experienced over 20 years without a drink. I was one of those who were able to recover by attending the rooms of AA and I do believe the program can work. I am not, however, a person who believes AA's way is the only way or maybe I would go so far to say it may not even be the best way. The trouble is while looking for the "best way" we can often wind up dead or with serious mental and physical ailments. Thus if you are in AA you have a decent chance of living a life free of addiction or at least the practice of that addiction.
The way I look at AA is it is a program that can be molded to fit around most anyone. I do not prescribe to the Procrustean Method that often runs rampant in the rooms. In other words I don't think a person should be forced into a certain AA approach that someone else has found, which works for them, but rather I feel the steps should be used with the individual in mind. I often think the ego of some of AA's members override better judgment when working with other members.
When I stopped smoking 10 years ago I was able to use the things I had learned while recovering from an alcoholic mind to put the cigarettes down and not pick them up again.
I see no reason you cannot employ what you read here in these forums into your quest for sobriety.
In borrowing from an old AA saying "Use what you can and leave the rest." You might find at a later time that you will revisit what you have left early on.
The very best of luck to you.

I think addiction and getting beyond it in at least a practical way ultimately involves moral choices. One doesn't have to go to AA, but if it helps I say go right ahead. A drinking addiction can be handled by some atomistically, but that's usually the hardest way. I once knew a heroin addict who checked into a motel or hotel for a week and ended his use of heroin that way. And he stayed off it. I don't know the kind of withdrawal hell he went through or how he handled it. Various addictions seem to me to have various intensities. I smoked for maybe 5 years. Then I stopped. In those smoking years, however, not once did I wake up at night needing a drag. I know smokers who do.

Wal-Mart CEO given $20.7M pay package
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. gave its CEO Mike Duke a pay package in 2012 worth $20.7 million, a 14 percent increase from the year before, according to an Associated Press analysis of a regulatory filing Monday.
Duke's performance-based cash bonus jumped more than 50 percent for a year that saw the world's largest retailer posting strong financial results despite a challenging economy for its shoppers.
The pay raise came despite allegations of bribery in Wal-Mart's Mexico operations.

sought to create an operative system of rules based upon the consent of nations to stabilize international relations, to avoid war taking place at all and to mitigate the results of such wars as took place. The first treaty was of course the Hague Convention of 1899 for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes. That Convention was, indeed, of no more than precatory effect, and we attach no weight to it for the purposes of this case, but it did establish agreement that, in the event of serious disputes arising between the signatory powers, they would as far as possible submit to mediation That Convention was followed in 1907 by another convention reaffirming and slightly strengthening what had previously been agreed. These early conventions fell, indeed, very far short of outlawing war, or of creating any binding obligation to arbitrate I shall certainly not ask the Tribunal to say any crime was committed by disregarding those conventions."When the war drums throb no longer
And the battle flags are furled,
In the parliament of man,
The federation of the world"

Summer sets the stage for fun outdoors. The days are long, and families have time to get outside and enjoy what nature has to offer. I grew up camping and have a great appreciation for a quality air mattress and tents with netted windows that promote air circulation. If I close my eyes and travel back in time, I can smell the wood smoke, the sizzling bacon and coffee made the old-fashioned way.
Those annual summer excursions to our nation's national parks involved long drives in a Volkswagen van, retrofitted into a camper that could sleep seven in a pinch. When we kids weren't teasing each other, we played cards and car games and looked out the windows. I would read the books I stashed in my allotted space, and then reread them on the return trip home. There wasn't room for a laundry basket of books, and PCs, iPads, e-readers and iPods were just a twinkle in some future techie's eye. Sometimes there was the static-laced baseball game on the car radio while my dad was driving, but that was about it.
Now with expanding Wi-Fi access, 3G devices and all sorts of high-tech gadgets (about which I am embarrassingly thick), an incredible amount of remote connectivity is available. While in 2011 it's nice to unplug from the demands of daily living, electronic thingamabobs make it convenient to check in with the pet-sitter, call your Grammy on her birthday, and read books even if it rains on your vacation.
That's what's so cool about Big Universe – its 24/7 access to children's books. Even if you don't have room in your backpack or carry-on, you can still read books to your children if you have a laptop or iPad and Internet access. This anytime-anywhere convenience is particularly attractive to ex-pats overseas, field-tripping homeschoolers, or parents and kids who have to sit for an extended time in a waiting room or airport.
Big Universe's portable access enables teachers and parents to strike while the iron is hot. If you are planning a visit to a science center or the zoo, read a safari book or story about mammals beforehand. Try to locate particular animals during your zoo visit, and use new vocabulary words while watching the animals' antics. If you are going camping for the first time this summer, read a book about this outdoor adventure. Headed for the beach? There are fiction and non-fiction picture books about turtles, fish, birds and salt water marshes on Big Universe, too. (Hint: If you take time to explore the nature centers at parks and participate in their programs, you'll enhance your child's level of literacy and make a lasting impression.)

While the vacation destinations were always worth the vehicular captivity my parents inflicted on my siblings and me during our childhood, being en route was not our favorite thing. That's why I laughed out loud when I read this quote from an anonymous source:
"A vacation is like love – anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort and remembered with nostalgia."

Anyone interested in a Nash?
Around the league …
Anyone interested in a Nash?
Word out of Columbus has it the Blue Jackets are maybe ready to blow things up and start over. That could mean premier forwards such as Rick Nash and Jeff Carter could be on the move, and plenty of teams would be interested. The Avs not having a first-round pick in next year's draft could hurt if that's the kind of thing Columbus will want. Rick Nash in an Avs uniform would certainly be attractive, and this team has shown the ability to pull off blockbusters before, plus they have the cap room.
But the Avs would have to give up a lot to get a Nash. Carter? Maybe not as much, but both wouldn't come cheap. … It's good to see former Av Tomas Fleischmann succeeding again in Florida, after missing the final half of last year with pulmonary embolism. Still, Fleischmann's condition will always be a risk. He has to take blood-thinner shots every day, and he has missed time with the condition twice before in his career.

As the Black Knights' staff continued to look for the right balance and mix for the offensive line during the 2009 season, at times it appeared to be a crazy game of musical chairs. However, in essence the line-up was relative consistent throughout the year, albeit inexperienced and at times not as productive as the staff would have liked. In trying to find the correct blend there were some minor adjustments to the starting line-up throughout the campaign.For example, Zach Peterson (Sr.), Seth Reed (Sr.) and Jason Johnson (Sr.) started all 13 games at center, right guard and right tackle respectively. The only exception was Reed missing game three of the season. In addition, Anees Merzi (Sr.) started the first 3 games of the season at left guard, then regulated to backup duties until he started the final seven games of the season at left tackle. Then you have Joe Bailey (Jr.) returning, who started three games in 2009
one at right guard and two games at the left guard position. Not to be forgotten is Mike McDermott (Jr.) who started 4 of the first 5 games of the season at left tackle, before Merzi was moved from left guard to McDermott's tackle spot.Finally there is junior Brad Kelly, who started game four at left tackle and the only player that the staff is losing from the starting group is left guard Fritz Bentler, who will be graduating this summer.Yes, last season saw the staff shuffle through the players while trying to find the right results - especially on the left side of that line, where production was not on par with where Coach Ellerson would like it to have been. With seven players returning that have starting experience, along with three upcoming sophomores in guard Frank Allen (So.), guard Matt Villanti (6'3, 290) and center Will Wilson (6'2, 280).The combination of the returning veterans having one year of Ellerson's triple option under their belt, along the mix of the talented trio of making their presence felt, there has been a degree of optimism coming into spring practice versus the uncertainty this time last year.GoBlackKnights.com had a chance to catch up with Offensive Coordinator, Ian Shields to get an idea of how the two-deep on the offensive line was unfolding. THE FAB FIVE"Zach Peterson is our starting center, Frank Allen at left guard, Seth Reed at right guard, Jason Johnson, he's out for the spring but will be back at right tackle and then at left tackle and Anees Merzi is pretty locked in there," shares Shields, who is enjoying having the bulk of his entire upfront unit upfront. "We are pretty set with that group."TWO-DEEPAt the tackle spot, are Brad Kelly and McDermott, who not only have game experience, but have starting at some point in 2009. "They are pretty interchangeable as far as which side," Shields declares, as he breaks down the balance of the 2nd unit. "Tom Hagan (Sr.) is the back up at center, where he was as well last season.Villanti is the back-up at right guard. He's a kid on the rise
he is still figuring it out but he has a ton of ability. Him and Frank (Allen) are physical presence in there and explosive kids, and that a plus to have the young guys in there.Mike Weich is in there and getting back to where is full speed, although not as physical as Frank and Matt."Center Will Wilson is another sophomore who made strides last year, and was looking to move his way up the charts this spring. However, the Great Falls (Va.) product has been sidelined this spring due to an injury and will have to make up lost time during summer's practice.Stay tuned to GoBlackKnights.com as we continue our Army Spring Football Coverage.
