l-forace i. -fall's otterss froim
Sillespie CouAlt, exas, 1871-1873
Edited by JOSEPH S. HALL
N 1945, when my father, Horace Mark Hall, died in Los
Angeles at the age of ninety-one, he left among his personal
effects thirteen letters written during his youth. One of these
was sent, apparently in 1871, from his home in Charleston, Coles
County, Illinois, to his mother, who was in Chicago at the time.
The rest were sent to members of his family in Charleston from
the trail to Texas and from Blanco and Gillespie counties, Texas
(except for one written from Austin). These letters provide ob-
servations of a wide-eyed boy from the Corn Belt gleaned during
the long journey from Kansas to central Texas and contain some
information and comment on life on the cattle range near Austin,
the cattle drives to Kansas (although it is not certain that Horace
went on one of these), the movement of population to the south-
west, the opening of the land to settlement and use, the raids by
the Indians, and similar matters. The letters also convey some of
the zest for adventure and thrills experienced by a hardy youth
from the tame and civilized farm country further east.
In the fall of 1871, a tall and husky boy of seventeen, whose
nickname was "Hod," left his home in Illinois for the Southwest.
Like other boys of his age, he was ready to make his mark in the
world. Perhaps also he was following Horace Greeley's advice. No
doubt the hope of wide-open adventure was a strong lure to this
ambitious youth living in a quiet farm community of central
Horace was born in 1854 in Warrenton, Mississippi, where his
parents were living at the time. When Horace was a boy, his
father, Dr. Jesse C. Hall, a dentist and jeweler in Charleston,
found difficulty in supporting his family in the hard times follow-
ing the Civil War. In later years Horace said that during this
trying period corn meal and molasses were the mainstays of the
family diet, and that "a dollar looked as big as a cartwheel."

Burnt toast leads to brief Vt airport evacuationThe Associated Press | October 12,2013SOUTH BURLINGTON A fire alarm triggered by burnt toast led to a brief evacuation at Burlington International Airport.

Saudi Aramco to sell Vela marine for $1.3 billion to Saudi Bahri
The merger of the fleets would make Bahri the world's fourth largest owner of very large crude carriers, or VLCCs, and it would become the exclusive provider of VLCC crude oil shipping services to Saudi Aramco, under a long-term agreement.
June 28, 2012 11:20 by Reuters
State oil giant Saudi Aramco has signed an agreement to sell its Vela marine unit to Saudi National Shipping Co (Bahri) for $1.3 billion in cash and shares, the two firms said on Wednesday
The merger of the fleets would make Bahri the world's fourth largest owner of very large crude carriers, or VLCCs, and it would become the exclusive provider of VLCC crude oil shipping services to Saudi Aramco, under a long-term agreement.
Bahri will pay Vela $1.3 billion in total, made up of $832.75 million in cash and 78.75 million new Bahri shares at a price of 22.25 riyals ($5.93).
Bahri said it will raise the cash portion through debt financing.
JP Morgan is advising the shipping firm while HSBC's Saudi arm is acting for Aramco.
The deal "would also expand the ability of Saudi Aramco and the kingdom to meet future maritime transport needs for its expanding downstream businesses while continuing to reliably and efficiently serve the current customers of both companies," the statement to the Tadawul bourse said.
The merger of ships, staff and business systems would leave Bahri with 77 vessels in its fleet, including 32 VLCCs.
"The proposed merger would create a large and more diversified national shipping company," the statement said.
($1 = 3.7502 Saudi riyals)

Goals for May!

View All Blog Entries from MRS.PRINCIPAL
Saturday, May 05, 2012
May is my favorite month! It starts getting consistently warmer and nice outside. I get to celebrate twice this month, for mothers day and my birthday! And, although May is crazy at work, I really love being a part of the graduation ceremonies for my students each year. Here are some of the goals I have set for myself for May.
Workout 28/31 days (at least 20 min each day to make it count)
Complete weeks 1-4 of the Brazilian Butt Lift workout plan. I just bought this workout program. There are 6 different types of workouts from toning to cardio. So far the workouts have been fun, and leave me with that good kind of sore the next day where you know you spent some time working your legs and butt. I am a sucker for workout programs that provide a workout calendar. I can't telly you how motivating it is to follow a plan, and get to cross that day off each day you finish your workout.
Loose 3 inches! If my Brazilian Butt Lift does what is promised, this should not be a problem!
Reach 137 pounds- GOAL WEIGHT! I set the goal last year at my birthday to loose 33 pounds before turning 34. I have lost 28 of them, and am 5 pounds from my goal weight. My goal was by my birthday (May 20), but I am going to give myself to May 31 to see if this can be done.
Track my calories 5/7 days. I still struggle with this, but am getting better. This is going to play a big part of my success in reaching my goal weight.
Eat 12 + meals a week from my SELF Drop 10 book.
What are some of your goals for the month? Ready to ROCK!

I knew you were active the last time i was on SP. But wow you are really active now WTG!!!
Report Inappropriate Comment
Great goals, luv . . . you always inspire me. Those last few pounds love to be the hardest to leave, so I'm thrilled now with any movement equal to a stick of butter (even the 8-sticks to the pound butter -- smile, smile).
By the way, Walmart still has the X-Factor:St available for $29 so I picked up the box. Haven't opened it yet. I have a friend, when I pass by your area to return home in the next week (or so), who wants a Jillian-type workout, so I'm thinking about loaning it to her to try first.
Let's rock this last 5% Challenge!

Keep motivated! I'm celebrating another year in May too!

Addressing ceremony, Netanyahu says that 'anti-Semitism didn't die with Hitler.' He calls on the country to 'fight the lies, increase our strength and build the country.'20:46 04.05.16 | 0 comments
The left have been in denial forever. They are lost morally, claim to be the scions of morality, and yet, they will lead us into global catastrophe is we dont wake up and face the real truth in the world today. Wikileaks are a disgusting group, assange is a creep, but, the leaks do show the world as it really is..dirty, ugly, dangerous and corrupt. In the end, these documents really show how israel is not the problem in the world today, rather, its as we all know, radical islamic jihad and the clash of civilizations that HAS been going on now for at least a thousand years......in the tiny speck of our moment now, we are laughable to think that somehow man has evolved and mankind is no longer dangerous. What crap..led by obama..a truly disillusioned man. you gotta love all the stuff the arab states say about iran....wow..explosive! maybe they will finally be heard publicly rather than just from behind curtains. hahahahaha....LONG LIVE ISRAEL!

I am working on project Euler #14, and have a solution to get the answer, but am getting a stack space overflow error when I try to run the code. The algorithm works ok in the interactive GHCI (on low numbers), but wont work when I throw a really big number at it and try to compile it.
Here is a rough idea of what it does in the interactive ghci. It takes about 10 seconds to calculate "answer 50000" on my computer.
Edit: after letting GHCI run the problem for a few minutes, it spit out the correct answer.
*Euler System.IO> answer 1000000
But that doesnt solve the stack overflow error when compiling the program to run natively.
*Euler System.IO> answer 10
*Euler System.IO> answer 100
*Euler System.IO> answer 1000
*Euler System.IO> answer 10000
*Euler System.IO> answer 50000
What should I do to get the answer to for "answer 1000000"? I imagine my algorithm needs to be fine tuned a bit, but I have no idea how to go about doing that.
Here is the code that I have written so far:
module Main
import System.IO
import Control.Monad
main = print (answer 1000000)
-- Count the length of the sequences
-- count' creates a tuple with the second value
-- being the starting number of the game
-- and the first value being the total
-- length of the chain
count' n = (cSeq n, n)
cSeq n = length $ game n
-- Find the maximum chain value of the game
answer n = maximum $ map count' [1..n]
-- Working game.
-- game 13 = [13,40,20,10,5,16,8,4,2,1]
game n = n : play n
play x
| x <= 0 = [] -- is negative or 0
| x == 1 = [] -- is 1
| even x = doEven x : play ((doEven x)) -- even
| otherwise = doOdd x : play ((doOdd x)) -- odd
where doOdd x = (3 * x) + 1
doEven x = (x `div` 2)

3 Bank Stock Picks From Deutsche Bank for 2Q Earnings
TheStreet) -- Citigroup (C - Get Report), Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB - Get Report) and KeyCorp (KEY - Get Report) are the top three bank picks from Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O'Connor as banks prepare to report second quarter earnings next month. "Bank stocks could rally into earnings before stalling the rest of the summer given concerns over the macro picture and net interest margin pressure," O'Connor writes in a report published Friday. However, he believes bank stocks will finish above current prices by year-end, due to "hopefully improving capital markets, more political certainty, and hopefully less of an impact from Europe." Here are more details on his top three picks for the quarter.3. Citigroup O'Connor argues Citigroup shares will face a "good test" when the bank reports second quarter earnings, "as the macro environment was sluggish, but not nearly as bad as in [the third and fourth quarters of last year] when most credit spreads widened materially and inventory levels were much higher." In what must be seen as a less-than-ringing endorsement, especially considering he views Citigroup as a top pick, O'Connor acknowledges that his below-consensus estimate of $0.78 could be too low as "assumptions for capital markets revenue, mortgage repurchase, and net interest income are all a bit conservative." 2. Fifth Third While shares have risen just 1% year to date versus a 15% for the sector, Fifth Third now trades at eight times 2012 estimates compared to 10 times for comparable stocks. O'Connor sees the bank benefitting from an improvement mortgage banking environment, and adds that "there could be a positive capital deployment story later this year." 1. KeyCorp KeyCorp shares have also lagged the broader index--by some 17% year to date. O'Connor cites "concerns that earnings power will be sluggish and capital deployment will take a while to play out," for the underperformance." Still, the Deutsche Bank analyst sees an "upward bias" in the bank's net interest margins and a growing loan book, among other positives. He also believes the bank will unveil a new cost-cutting initiative on its second quarter earnings call. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow this writer on Twitter.NEW YORK (

PROFIT AND LOSS -- A special report.;Private Business, Public Schools: Why Hartford Experiment Failed
By GEORGE JUDSON
Published: March 11, 1996
HARTFORD— The concept seemed simple enough when Education Alternatives Inc. came here in 1994 to help manage Hartford's 32 public schools: use private-business expertise to wring more money for education out of the district's $200 million budget.
Only 16 months later, the nation's first experiment in private management of an entire school system is ending with the concept largely untested. After spending $12 million of its own, Education Alternatives is being dismissed without ever taking control of the district's finances.
Instead, the experience here is calling into question the ability of outside managers to transform troubled school districts, when they have to rely on the support and cooperation of school boards that failed in the past under pressure from politics, unions and other interests.
While Hartford's teachers' union and other opponents of Education Alternatives celebrate its ouster, the city's leaders are so unhappy with the Board of Education's management that some have proposed the extreme measure taken by New Jersey in several cities: a state takeover of the schools.
"I think the school board's in total meltdown," Councilman John B. O'Connell said. "It didn't have much credibility before, and it has less now. They don't have a clue. Not a clue."
In interviews in February, participants in the experiment gave conflicting accounts of how such a heralded effort stumbled so quickly. But this much is evident: the school board, lacking the will to make tough budget decisions itself, saw Education Alternatives as a corporate angel. Its members did not quite understand how the company planned to make money, and so they persuaded themselves that it did not expect to. But the company was counting on a profit -- and the board's support of controversial measures to make it.
"We've made more than our share of mistakes," the company's chairman, John T. Golle, said in a telephone interview from Minneapolis, where the company is based. "This hadn't been done before. If there was a book on it, we'd be reading it. This has not been fun."
But a bitter Mr. Golle (pronounced GOAL-lee) said he was convinced that the experiment could have succeeded, had the school board had the political courage to take the company's advice on ways to shift more of Hartford's limited resources to the classroom.
"They spend $510 per student per year on teacher retirement and $13 per student on textbooks," he said, "so tell us again about your strategic plan? They hired us to do something about it, and when we said, 'Here's what you can do,' they backed away."
The District Falling Buildings, Heavy Benefits
Stephanie Lightfoot called Education Alternatives in March 1994. A member of the Hartford Board of Education, she had heard about the company's work in Baltimore, where it had taken charge of nine public schools, repaired them and equipped them with classroom computers.
The Hartford board was in its fourth year of a fiscal crisis that was forcing it to cut programs. School supplies were so scarce that many teachers bought their own. Buildings were in disrepair. Two-thirds of the district's 24,000 children lived in poverty, and one-third attended bilingual or special-education classes. Scores on standardized tests were the state's worst.
State aid, however, enabled Hartford to spend more per pupil than most communities; spending far less on books and supplies than its neighbors, it spent more than most on salaries and benefits. So how the schools used their money appeared to be part of the problem.
The board had prepared a strategy for turning the district around but needed help to carry it out, Ms. Lightfoot said. In an initial conference call with board members, Mr. Golle described how his company, working with accounting, maintenance and computer companies, could improve schools by spending the district's money better: eliminating waste, buying in bulk, installing new, more efficient equipment.
Education Alternatives would jump-start the process, he said, by investing $20 million of its own in new technology for the district in the first five years.
Opposition to Education Alternatives, the nation's largest for-profit school-management company, formed quickly. Hartford's teachers' union attacked with the help of the American Federation of Teachers, the company's constant critic in Baltimore. City officials suspected a raid on Hartford's treasury.
With unions and city officials determined to protect local jobs and tax dollars, Education Alternatives pledged to avoid layoffs, to honor union work rules and to hire locally. Retirement benefits and other items totaling $37 million -- one-sixth of the district's spending -- were ruled beyond the company's management reach, because they were in the City Council's budget, rather than the general school budget, which the Council appropriates but does not control.
Despite the restrictions, Mr. Golle rejected the board's offer to negotiate a fee for his services. He did not want to be a consultant; instead, Education Alternatives would manage the district's budget, pay all bills, and take as profit what was left at the end of each year. If, to meet the board's goals, the company had to spend more than budgeted, that would be its loss.

Nine Mequon families join lawsuit between River Club owner and Mequon
Amended complaint says residents have the right 'to enjoy the scenic view'
Mequon - Nine families have joined the fray in the lawsuit between River Club owner Thomas Weickardt and the city of Mequon, while Weickardt's attorneys are reframing their argument against the city.
The families are from the Deer Trail Estates subdivision in the Ville Du Parc neighborhood and have successfully entered the suit through the legal process of intervention, which allows interested or potentially affected parties to join a case.
The original December 2012 suit petitioned an Ozaukee County judge to compel the city to enforce trespassing and keep locals off a 42-acre lot abutting the Milwaukee River. Weickardt's attorney argued then that the open space easement governing the lot, which specifically mentions residents of Deer Trail Estates and has been subject to debate, is "unlike a true easement" and doesn't grant Ville du Parc residents the right to use the property, while also alleging the city hadn't enforced his ownership rights.
In light of Deer Trail Estates residents joining the suit, Weickardt's attorneys filed an amended complaint April 23. The new complaint classifies any entrance by neighbors onto the 42-acre lot as trespassing and says the easement "only gives the Intervening Defendants (Deer Trail residents) the right to enjoy the scenic vista of Plaintiff's property as open space."
"Mr. Weickardt wants to enjoy the same property rights as any other property owner and determine when and under what circumstances people may enter his property," said attorney Christopher Hale, adding that in light of the controversy over the easement, "Mr. Weickardt believes many of the Ville Du Parc neighbors support him now, because he has assured them in writing that he will never develop the golf course."
The new complaint asks the judge to rule the easement doesn't entitle any third parties, including Deer Trail Estates residents, to enter the 42-acre lot, and to compel the city to enforce Weickardt's property rights against trespass.
Deer Trail Estates resident Robert Holtz is among those who have entered into the case, and, as an attorney, is also representing the nine families - himself included - in the suit. He said he will be submitting a legal response on behalf of the Deer Trail Estates residents within 20 days of Weickardt's amended claim filing, and expects City Attorney John DeStefanis to file a response from the city in that time frame.

Grab your popcorn, unplug your telephone, and set your DVR or VCR this Monday night. I guarantee that you will have the opportunity to see something you haven't seen in a long time.
The Ohio State University football team is going to actually play a game.
Following a 50-day layoff, the Buckeyes will take on the LSU Tigers in the BCS National Championship Game. Their layoff will be similar in length to the one they had last season when they faced Florida for the national title. We all remember how well that turned out for the overly rested crimson-clad crew from Columbus.
It does not really matter to me if the Big Ten champions are shredded by another SEC opponent or if the four and a half point underdogs are able to sneak out of the bayou with a victory. What will chap my bony backside will happen at the conclusion of the game. The graphics guys at Fox Sports will flash a banner under a shot of the winning team's bench that says "2007 NCAA National Champions."
Give me a break.
Even if these were the undisputed top two teams during the regular season, having them play each other nearly two months after one of them last took the field proves next to nothing about the real college football season. Which by the way ended back around when Jamie Lynn was still considered to be the "wholesome" Spears sister.
The argument for a national tournament in major college football should begin, at least from a competitive standpoint, with the absurdity that the NCAA is willing to award a national championship to a team that has won just one contest in 50 days.
Not only does every other level of NCAA football have a tournament, but in no other NCAA sport at any level can a team win one contest, and subsequently the national title, after that extended of a layoff.
There's a good reason for that. Fifty days is a long time. In the last fifty days, over half a million babies have been born in the United States, 400 new Starbucks have opened worldwide, and our phone rang 318 times courtesy of presidential campaigns. Seriously, anybody suffering from low self-esteem should move to Iowa during campaign season. I have never felt this popular before in my entire life.
And in the world of athletics, 50 days can be an eternity. Last spring, the Buena Vista University softball team played all of its 30-game schedule in less than 50 days. This past summer, the Colorado Rockies went from fourth place in their division to National League pennant winners in 50 days. In a 50-day span, Ohio State played and won its first eight games of this football season.
Now Ohio State is trying to figure out how to spend 50 days between games while trying to avoid what happened after last season's 51-day gap between games which was punctuated with a 27-point loss. The Ohio State coaches say their players have had to fight boredom during these long breaks over the past two years. That is an unfair predicament the NCAA has allowed to happen to a team preparing for a national title game.
Can you imagine if this happened with any other sport? Picture basketball's Final Four spread out from the beginning of April to the middle of May. What if the New England Patriots did not play again until Valentine's Day? Those scenarios are equally as absurd as Ohio State, ranked seventh the last time they played, competing for the first time in over seven weeks with a chance to be called "2007 NCAA National Champions."
Monday's game will do very little for me in the way of proving who the best team was during the season. Still, I will be tuning in. After all, a glorified exhibition 50 days after the 2007 season and 85 days before 2008 spring practice starts is better than no football at all.

Abner Mares was riding as high as any boxer could be last summer.
He was undefeated, headlining major Showtime cards, climbing the pound-for-pound rankings, making high-six-figure purses and ready to defend his featherweight world title -- the third he had won in as many divisions in a brilliant 21-month stretch that saw him grind through such notable opponents as Daniel Ponce De Leon, Anselmo Moreno, Eric Morel and Joseph Agbeko (twice).
After knocking out Ponce De Leon in the ninth round to win the 126-pound belt 14 months ago, Mares made his first defense last August against former titleholder Jhonny Gonzalez, a tremendous puncher but a big underdog and a fighter many thought had seen better days.
But less than one round and two knockdowns later, the fight was over. Mares had been knocked out and his title and undefeated record were history.
Nearly a year later, Mares (26-1-1, 14 KOs) is getting back on the horse and hopes to ride toward another title when he takes on Puerto Rico's Jonathan Oquendo (24-3, 16 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round bout in the co-feature of the Canelo Alvarez-Erislandy Lara junior middleweight fight on Saturday night (Showtime PPV, 9 ET) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
It's been quite an 11 months for Mares since the loss. First off, an immediate rematch with Gonzalez slated for February was canceled after Mares suffered a training injury and then had second thoughts about rescheduling the fight.
"I was training for that fight for February, a rematch against Jhonny Gonzalez, and then after [the injury] we just didn't agree with dates pretty much. That was the whole case of the fight not happening," Mares said.
"He wanted to take some time off. I was not going to give any advantages, so I decided not to take the fight any time soon and he didn't want to wait. So, with that said, I needed more time for myself to recover. I'm just focused on this fight, but later on in the future it's possible again."
In addition to not going through with the rematch, Mares rejected other fights in the name of more time off. Among them: a tune-up fight against Mike Oliver and even a shot at junior lightweight titleholder Takashi Miura, who would have traveled to the United States from Japan for the fight.
But the 28-year-old Mares, who is from Mexico but lives in Southern California, was reassessing his career and about to make changes. He let his contract with longtime manager Frank Espinoza, who expertly guided him to the three world titles, expire on May 24. Espinoza, believing he has nine months remaining with Mares due to injuries, has filed for arbitration on the contract with the California State Athletic Commission. The case is scheduled to be heard later this month.
Espinoza is not involved in Saturday's fight, and Mares said the case isn't a distraction.
"No distractions whatsoever," Mares said. "As far as the Espinoza situation, my lawyer is taking care of it. I have nothing to do with it as of now."
In addition to cutting ties with his manager, Mares also left trainer Clemente Medina in favor of working with Oakland, California-based Virgil Hunter, who is best known for his work with super middleweight champion Andre Ward but also has a stable that includes Amir Khan, Andre Berto and Alfredo Angulo.
Mares, always a formidable offensive fighter, needed Hunter's defensive expertise and said that is just what he has gotten from him in their time together.
"That is one of the top reasons why we are here, and we needed that," Mares said. "That was shown even in the fight before the Ponce fight [against Moreno]. I think I boxed somewhat good but still was getting caught with some punches. So, there's still room for progress, there's still room for learning. I feel like I've done so much yet I can do some more."
Mares feels that the time off and the changes will be worth it.
"You learn a lot from a loss. In fact, you learn more from a loss sometimes than from wins," Mares said. "The inactivity, the year out, it made me see a lot of things, rethink a lot of things and, obviously, rejuvenated me. I've been coming off a long string of title defenses, fight after fight, tough fights.
"In a period of eight, nine months I did a lot of tough fights. We've got a new team working with Virgil Hunter and if it affects me, the layoff, it'll be for the first few rounds. But once I get in my rhythm, nothing is going to stop me."
Mares said that although Oquendo is front and center for him, he does want an opportunity to even the score with Gonzalez.
"This is a guy who took my undefeated record. He did take a lot from me that night," Mares said. "I'm not saying physically, because it happened so fast, less than a round. So, thank God, physically, I wasn't damaged that much. But, naturally, he did as far as taking my undefeated record. So believe me, I do want my rematch, I want my revenge. But that will come in time."
If he was going to lose, Mares said he was glad it was over quickly -- in 2 minutes, 55 seconds.
"I was blessed that the fight was stopped. I was going to get up that second time, but the ref did make the great call and did not let me continue or else I think I would have done even more damage or even, who knows, I would have probably fought back [and taken] a lot of punches," Mares said. "But at the end of the day I did take this fight because I know I'm ready mentally.
"That's why I took this whole time, almost close to a year off, and I'm back. I always had that in my mind, when I first signed a contract to be a professional fighter, that there was going to be a loss. No matter what, this is a contact sport. It's a risky sport. Anything can happen. I'm ready for anything."
That's where Oquendo, 30, comes in. He is experienced but a decided underdog. The two times he stepped up in competition to face quality opponents in former junior featherweight titlist Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. and former junior featherweight and featherweight titleholder Juan Manuel Lopez, he got knocked out.
Mares insisted, however, that he is not looking past Oquendo.
"This fight is no walk in the park. Jonathan is a warrior and that's why I trained very hard," he said. "I'm here to make a statement."
Oquendo said this fight is not going to be like the other times he faced top opponents.
"Basically, the couple of times I wasn't in the best preparation that I could have had," Oquendo said. "I've learned from that. Like they say, third time is a charm. And you know what? We're taking it very serious.
"I know Abner Mares. I know his capabilities. I know how risky this fight is. We were both, at one time, with Golden Boy years ago and I always thought that was a possibility to make this fight, you know, Puerto Rico versus Mexico, [that] down the road we would make it. I had a couple of losses and they taught me and now we have a good team. We're preparing really well, and you know what, I'm excited.
"I'm not going to lie -- I have a lot of respect for Abner Mares, but don't let that fool you. I don't feel any pressure. He's a great champ, but there will be blood in the ring on Saturday, and it won't be mine."
Said Mares, "I'm glad he has the mentality of the knockout, but on Saturday it is going to be my night in the ring."
A strong performance will put Mares back in the thick of the title hunt and probably into another major fight.
"Obviously, significant, significant to my career," he said of the importance of Saturday's fight. "Obviously, getting back on that list of winning. It would mean a lot to me, my fans, my family, and we're preparing. We know we have a tough opponent, a difficult fight, but that's what we're preparing for."

Jim Cooper, a Democrat elected in 2002 who also served from 1982 to 1994, is a brainy moderate with a tart tongue—especially when it comes to his own party's leadership. Despite the polarized political climate, he persistently seeks bipartisanship on fiscal matters.
His father, Prentice Cooper, was governor for six years. Jim Cooper, educated at the University of North Carolina, Oxford, and Harvard Law School, won the 4th District seat in 1982 by beating the bearer of another famous name, Republican Cissy Baker, the daughter of then-Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker. In his first stint in Congress, he spoke out against tobacco use and opposed the National Rifle Association in a state where both were popular. He participated actively in the "Group of Nine" Democrats on the Energy and Commerce Committee that produced a compromise between Michigan Democrat John Dingell, an ally of the auto industry, and California's Henry Waxman, who was pro-environmental regulation, on the Clean Air Act of 1990. In 1994, Cooper ran against Republican Fred Thompson for the Senate seat that Democrat Al Gore vacated when he was elected vice president; Thompson won, 60%-39%.
Cooper then went to work as an investment banker in Nashville and as a teacher at Vanderbilt University's business school. In 2002, when Democratic U.S. Rep. Bob Clement jumped into a Senate race, Cooper joined a flurry of Democratic candidates for his seat. His toughest opponent was Davidson County Sheriff Gayle Ray, the first female sheriff in Tennessee, who had support from the national fundraising group EMILY's List. Ray attacked Cooper's voting record on women's health issues. An abortion rights supporter, Cooper said that Ray's charges were inaccurate and ran compelling and positive ads showing his children describing what he does well—banjo playing, helping with homework, getting health care for senior citizens—and what he doesn't do well—cooking, playing basketball.
The AFL-CIO and The Tennessean endorsed Ray.Cooper had support from the Sierra Club environmental group and several smaller newspapers and raised twice as much money as Ray, including $700,000 of his own money. He won the primary with 47%. Ray got 23% in the seven-candidate field. Cooper won the general election easily and has faced no serious reelection challenges.
In recent years, Cooper has focused on being a leader of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition and a consensus-builder within the national Democratic Party. He was named the Blue Dogs' co-chair for policy in 2013 and often describes himself as "the nerd" of the group. Two fellow Blue Dogs, Dan Lipinski of Illinois and Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, voted for him for minority leader in 2013; Cooper cast his own vote for former GOP Secretary of State Colin Powell. "We need a hero now more than ever," he said later. Two years earlier, he supported fellow Blue Dog Heath Shuler of North Carolina over California's Nancy Pelosi, whom he disdains for her strong-armed management style. He once said of his fellow Democrats under Pelosi, "We're just told how to vote. We are treated like mushrooms most of the time."
New York Times columnist Joe Nocera, in a 2011 column titled "The Last Moderate," praised Cooper as "the House's conscience, a lonely voice for civility in this ugly era." He has introduced numerous measures with GOP support. The House-passed bill to temporarily raise the federal debt limit in February 2013 included his provision to withhold lawmakers' pay if a budget isn't passed on time. He said finding Republicans to support him "is really not hard" but gets overlooked. "The press is only focused on the leaders," he told National Journal. "They barely know the names of the backbenchers, and those are the people who can make things happen if they choose to."
One way Cooper builds cooperation is by giving out his cell phone number to everyone. "Phone numbers are kind of a trust issue," he said at a January 2013 town hall meeting. "If you trust people, then they will trust you back." It also helps that Cooper eschews name-calling. When others in his party were savaging House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., for his budget-cutting proposals in 2011, Cooper said he didn't agree with all of Ryan's proposals but defended him as "genuinely smart and nice and humble and caring." Cooper earlier had joined another conservative Republican, Virginia's Frank Wolf, in calling for a panel to examine entitlement spending—an idea that became reality with President Barack Obama's creation of the Simpson-Bowles commission on the national debt in 2010. Cooper offered an amendment in March 2012 to have a budget resolution based on the commission's recommendations; it drew just 38 votes.
During the health care debate, Cooper was among the Blue Dogs who worked with Waxman, the Energy and Commerce chairman, to moderate some provisions that conservative Democrats considered government overreach. He has been active in seeking to reform Congress, which he has accused of being "too lazy to prioritize." He became the first lawmaker in October 2012 to sign a pledge by the activist group Rootstrikers promising not to lobby after leaving office. He has sought limits on spending earmarks—before the earmark moratorium, he had refused for years to seek such special-interest funding—and enforcement of pay-as-you-go rules that require tax cuts or spending increases to be offset elsewhere in the budget. Cooper also urged expanded powers for the president to veto specific items in the budget. A longtime proponent of increased government oversight, his bill to strengthen the independence of federal inspectors passed Congress and, despite a veto threat from President George W. Bush, became law in 2008.
Cooper was mentioned as a candidate to head the White House budget office, but he fell out of favor with the Obama administration after an incident during Congress' work on the $787 billion economic stimulus bill in 2009. Cooper was one of 11 Democrats to vote against the initial version of the bill and told a Nashville radio station he had gotten "quiet encouragement" from the White House to oppose it because Obama disagreed with changes in the legislation made by the House Democratic leadership. The White House denied urging Cooper to vote against the leadership-backed bill.

The Dish
By Laura Marrich
Bob's Fish and Chips is Really, Finally Closed--A "for sale" sign has loomed uncomfortably in front of Bob's Fish and Chips for months, but the little drive-up kept turning out white paper sacks filled with frito pie and fish planks unabated. We figured it was a phase. We hoped that before Bob's finally got around to closing its doors, some benevolent fried food enthusiast would capitalize on a truly golden opportunity and seize up the orphaned fry shack. But Daddy Frybucks didn't make it in time. Last week, Bob's Fish and Chips served their last chili dog to Alibi Production Manager Tom Nayder.

King Tut Restaurant
Sensual spices and full of surprises
By Jennifer Wohletz
I've had my share of food surprises over the years. Like when I was 14 and stayed overnight in a hotel for the first time and I went downstairs to take advantage of the "continental breakfast" only to find a box of donuts and a pot of coffee. What the freak is continental about those? I still haven't figured that one out. Or the time when I was 16 and my dad's buddies convinced me to try Rocky Mountain oysters at a fish fry. I chewed through a couple of them, nonplussed as to why everyone was watching me in breathless anticipation. I thought oysters came from the ocean—surprise!
