Episode 3 - Conflict
'Larkin's agenda was that he wanted to organise employees, to grow his union. But Murphy wanted to destroy Larkin. It became about Murphy and Larkin', historian Emmet O' Connor says about the motivation of the two sides in Lockout 1913. But while the events triggered by August 26th, and the six month worker Lockout, are symbolized by the two men it represents a class war with some 200,000 workers on one side and 300 employers on the other. In this episode we unravel the events that spark the Lockout, the forces driving both sides, and re-enact the one meeting and exchange between Larkin and Murphy in the Askwith Inquiry. Actor Barry McGovern takes the voice of Murphy while playwright Peter Sheridan gives life to Larkin.

Musician Makes Stand for Coal
Wheeling Native Performs at UMWA Rally
May 5, 2013
WHEELING — Tom Breiding would not describe himself as an activist. However, upon attending a rally against Patriot Coal Corporation in Charleston last September, Breiding felt inspired....
This is wonderful news. Wheem and waterling Jesuit allowed property here in Wetzel county to be frac drilled and we were terribly upset. My husband graduated from there and is a member of the honor society and we were fighting to the community. Wells became contaminated and flaring and emissions made people very sick. We need UNIONS or the workers have no rights. Visit a coal town this summer!

Missing from all of this is explanation of just how valuable Coal, and the byproducts of it's use, could really be. Coal is being converted into Gasoline and Diesel fuel in China and South Africa. China says they're making "huge profits" from it; while South Africa has been converting Coal into liquid fuels for more than half a century. And, right now, fuel alcohol synthesized from industrial exhaust gas Carbon Dioxide is being blended into gasoline in Iceland, Sweden and one or two other north European nations, and sold at filling stations. Coal ash can be used in making high-performance cement and concrete. The US EPA is housed in the Ronald Reagan Office Building, which is made of concrete filled with a high percentage of Coal Ash. All of that should take care of "exceptionally soft markets".

Hanging on for dear life to the Coal Industry is one of the reasons that West Virginia and those counties impacted by mining coal have a poor track record of attracting new industry. If Coal was so great for the local economy then why, until Shale Gas came into the picture, did the neighboring Ohio counties of Belmont and Harrison look as though anyone who could leave those sad places, up and went.

Still trying to keep the lipstick on your shale gas porker, Sounder? Everyone needs to track down a copy of: "'U.S. Geological Survey Oil and Gas Assessment Team, 2012, Variability of distributions of well-scale estimated ultimate recovery for continuous (unconventional) oil and gas resources in the United States': U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2012–1118". Concerning the Marcellus, specifically, one petroleum industry analyst summed up the USGS findings as: "Chesapeake Energy (CHK) claims average EUR's (estimated ultimate recoveries) for the Marcellus at 4.2 Bcf. Range Resources (RRC) has claimed average EUR's as high as 5.7 Bcf in investor presentations. According to the USGS, however, the average EUR for the Marcellus turns out to be about 1.1 Bcf." And, "EUR" doesn't take into account the dramatic year-to-year per-well production decline rates. Y'all have been sold a bill of goods.

Stephen Rogalski
Article Photos
Stephen Rogalski
Ross Comis
Chase Kinemond
Jordan Bonar
Senior, WR
With a gift of grab, Rogalski finished his career as the top receiver in Magnolia history and one of the best in the state for the past four seasons. Again, a first team all-state selection, Rogalski also captained the Class A offensive unit after catching 58 passes for 813 yards and six touchdowns. Rogalski was also a special teams threat and returned two punts and one kickoff for scores.
Ross Comis
Junior, Utility
Weirton Madonna
True to the definition of the word utility, Comis did a little bit of everything for Coach Doug Taylor as the Blue Dons made their way to the Class A championship game. Comis, a first team all-stater as a quarterback, showed plenty of progress in his second season behind center, throwing and rushing for more than 1,000 yards. He threw for 19 scores and ran for 12 more.
Chance Siebieda
Senior, OL
Wheeling Central
Called the Maroon Knights' best lineman by his coaches, Siebieda helped pave the way for more 2,000 yards rushing by playing the critical right tackle position in Wheeling Central's vaunted spin offense. A second team all-state selection, Siebieda was one of the Maroon Knights' team captains.
Josh Guiler
Senior, OL
Monroe Central
Described as ''an outstanding run and pass blocker and an excellent trap blocker,'' by his coach, Jay Circosta, Guiler was a key cog in another staunch Seminoles offensive front. A special mention all-state honoree, Guiler helped an experienced offensive line pave the way for some up-and-coming ball carriers. Defensively, Guiler was Monroe Central's leading tackler (78.5) and registered four sacks and four forced fumbles.
Evan Eggleston
Senior, OL
A repeat first team All-Valley selection, Eggleston was one of the key reasons behind River's resurgence this fall. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Eggleston graded out at 93 percent or better and helped pave the way for the likes of running back Nick Asturi, another first-team pick. Eggleston was a first team All-Eastern District pick and a first team all-PVC selection. He was second-team all-state in 2011.
Josh Martin
Junior, OL
Weirton Madonna
Martin evolved from a solid lineman to the Blue Dons' best by season's end, according to his coach, Doug Taylor. ''This kid is going to get some looks from major colleges,'' Taylor said. A second team all-state pick, Martin graded out at 86 percent. He spent most of his time on the offense line, only participating in spot defensive situations during the Blue Dons' state title game run. He made 19 tackles, four for losses.
Cory Banco
Junior, OL
A special mention all-state selection, Banco helped the Tigers to their first undefeated regular season in 35 years and another Division VI playoff berth. He blocked at approximately 90 percent efficiency and helped create holes for Shadyside's talented stable of ballcarriers. Defensively, Banco was in on 42 stops with three sacks.
Spencer Badia
Junior, QB
Badia makes our list after throwing for more than 3,000 yards and leading Small Schools in yards passing and yards passing per game. The third team all-state selection threw for 24 touchdowns as Bellaire made a triumphant return to the postseason for the first time in more than half a decade. Badia also rushed for 321 yards and four touchdowns.
Teryn Jarrett
Senior, QB
A four-year regular, first for Dave Caldwell and last season for Paul Kanzigg, Jarrett finished his career with more than 6,000 passing yards. Nearly 2,500 of them came this season as Jarrett was named first team All-Eastern District and special mention all-state.
Chinelo Oparanozie
Senior, RB
One of the most bruising backs in the Ohio Valley this season, Oparanozie was the heart and soul of Coach B.J. DePew's offense. He set a school record for rushing yards in a season with 1,583, which was one of the top totals in the valley. He scored 16 touchdowns on 232 carries. Oparanozie also caught 16 passes for 143 yards and four more scores.
Shayne Hinkle
Senior, RB
A second team all-state and firstteam All-Mason-Dixon Conference performer, Hinkle was the engine of Clay-Battelle's powerful offense. He ran for more than 1,600 yards and 20 touchdowns for the Cee-Bees.
Drew Keller
Junior, RB
Another in a long line of talented players by the name of Keller to grace the Magnolia sideline, Drew Keller was the lynchpin of the Blue Eagles' rushing attack, racking up more than 1,300 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was a first team all-state selection.
Nick Patrone
Junior, WR
A third team all-state selection, Patrone was the beneficiary of the sharp arm of teammate Spencer Badia. Patrone caught a Small School-best 66 passes for a shade more than 1,000 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Alex Doak
Senior, WR
Tyler Consolidated
A second team all-state selection, Doak was a favorite target of quarterback Hunter LeMasters, catching 41 passes for 797 yards and 12 touchdowns. All told, Doak amassed 1,885 all-purpose yards and 19 touchdowns. Doak's big game came against South Harrison when he caught four touchdowns on seven catches for 241 yards.
C.J. Burch
Junior, Utility
Wheeling Central
Burch was a jack-of-all-trades for the Maroon Knights after being called upon to play quarterback with three practices remaining before Central's season opener. The first team all-stater accounted for more than 2,400 yards of offense, rushing for 1,600 yards in leading Central's successful spin series. Burch rushed for 30 touchdowns, threw for nine more and served as the team's holder on field goals and extra points.
Nick Asturi
Senior, Utility
Asturi earned third team all-state accolades after becoming the fifth player in River history to rush for at least 1,000 yards. He finished with 1,055 and 18 touchdowns after the Pilots returned to the Division VI playoffs. Asturi finished with 20 touchdowns in. The other two came via receiving (15 catches for 242 yards) and and kick returns (14 for 302 yards).
Dalton Conroy
Senior, K
There were many talented kickers this season at the Small School level, but none had a season like Conroy. The first team all-state pick came up big in the closing seconds a number of times for the Big Reds. Conroy was 9 of 12 on field goals, with a long of 43 yards. He was 34-for-39 on extra points.
Kyle Ritz
Freshman, DE
The only freshman on this season's all-valley team on either side of the ball, Ritz made a quick impression on Coach Mark Batton, Defensive Coordinator Bob Ripley, and opposing squads. The stats tell the story - 92 tackles (27 solos), seven stops for losses, two caused fumbles, three fumble recoveries and a touchdown.
Jordan Bonar
Senior, LB
Bishop Donahue
Bonar was the perfect fit to be a linebacker on a John Durdines-coached team. At 5-11, 180 pounds, Bonar was tough as nails as he helped guide a Bishops' unit that experienced a rebirth during his four years. This past fall, Bonar's defensive resume read - 69 tackles, five interceptions including one returned for a touchdown, 10 tackles for losses and a safety. He was named captain of the state's second-team defense. Bonar was a first team All-Valley utility player last season.
Chase Kinemond
Senior, DB
A first team all-Ohio selection, the 6-1, 175-pound Kinemond was one of the driving forces behind Shadyside's run to the school's first undefeated regular season since 1977. Kinemond, also the Tigers quarterback, was in on 49 tackles, with 29 of those solos and three for negative yardage. Kinemond also picked off four passes, had four pass deflections, a safety and a touchdown.
Braxton Nolte
Senior, DL
Wheeling Central
A first team all-state defensive lineman for the second straight season, Nolte was again Wheeling Central's leading tackler with 97, despite most teams choosing not run on his side of the line. He also lead the team in sacks (12) for the second straight year. Nolte collected three fumbles and forced two.
Nate Guio
Junior, DL
Weirton Madonna
Guio was used on offense more for his blocking, but where the first team all-stater really stood out was on defense. Guio was the Blue Dons' anchor end and helped pull together a unit that reached the Class A championship game. The 6-3, 210-pound Guio made 66 tackles, 15 of those for losses and three sacks.
Dillon Blake
Senior, DL
Blake led Coach Jim Rogers' defense with six sacks. He was also in on 77 tackles and recovered two fumbles as he anchored the Dragons' defensive front.
D.J. Shoemaker
Senior, LB
St. John
A third team all-state pick, the 6-3, 220-pound linebacker was one of the main cogs in St. John's turnaround. On defense, he was in on 113 tackles and registered 10 sacks. Ten of those tackles were for losses. He also picked off two passes.
Hunter Yoders
Senior, LB
The 5-9, 160-pound Yoders led the Dragons with 94 tackles and had two sacks and three fumble recoveries. Offensively, he carried the ball 120 times for 762 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Domenic Ellis
Junior, LB
If Chinelo Oparanozie was the heart and soul of Linsly's offense, Ellis was the same on the defensive side of the ball for the Cadets. Ellis registered a team-high 113 tackles. including five for losses. Ellis also picked off a pass and caused a fumble.
Kage Rohde
Junior, LB
One of the ''quarterbacks'' of Coordinator Bob Ripley's Magnolia's defense, Rohde was in on 125 tackles, including 62 solos. A first team all-stater, Rohde also had 16 tackles for losses, 10 sacks, three caused fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Hunter LeMasters
Senior, DB
Tyler Consolidated
LeMasters was s talented two-way player who earned first team all-state status for his work in the defensive backfield. He picked off four passes this season, two of which were returned for touchdowns. He had eight pass breakups, three caused fumbles and was in on 109 tackles for the Silver Knights.
Korey Lafferre
Senior, DB
Monroe Central
Lafferre excelled on offense, but it was his work on defense that garnered kudos from those in the valley and state alike. A third team all-state selection, Lafferre picked off four passes for Coach Jay Circosta, along with making two fumble recoveries and 37.5 tackles.
Garrett Hypes
Senior, Utility
Weirton Madonna
A second team linebacker at the state level, Hypes is a first-team utility pick on this list for his penchant for contributing on so many areas. He led the team with 79 tackles and seven PBUs . He also had five tackles for losses and had one pick. In addition, he returned seven punts for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
Will Bowser
Junior, DB
Weirton Madonna

Nick Maffe
Senior, Utility
Bellaire was known for its offense, but its defense was staunch, as well. Maffe was one of the stalwarts of the unit, in on 87.5 tackles, 74 of which were solos. The special mention All-Ohio honoree also had eight tackles for losses, three passes broken up and two forced fumbles.
Aleks Porreca
Junior, Utility
Steub. Catholic
An All-Eastern District selection, Porreca was in on 75 tackles, including 11 stops for losses for Coach Steve Daley. He also picked off a pass and recovered a fumble as the Crusaders earned a Division VI playoff spot.
Ian Baker
Junior, Utility
Shadyside had one of the best defenses around this season and one of the reasons was the 5-8, 165-pound Baker. A second team all-Ohio selection, Baker was in on 57 tackles, including four for losses.

New Year Starts With 15 County Employees Losing Jobs
January 6, 2013
Although the plague of financial cutbacks endured through much of the old year of 2012, Belmont County survived without any employee layoffs until the year's end....
Why bring Vermillion back into this discussion? He's been out of the picture for 5 years. I guess Belmont County is very much like our current Idiot in Chief Obummer who continues blaming Bush for all that is wrong.
How about letting go of the Blame Vermillion game and start being accountable for your own mess for a change.

Sorry that people have to loose their job and hours are cut. Maybe Ohio county needs to come to the same realization instead of daydreaming of some new cruisers after tearing up the ones they have.

An analytical look at five significant questions in college basketball this week:
Starting Five: Nerlens Noel cements comparison to Bill Russellncaab February 5, 2013 3:38pm EST January 30, 2013 1:08pm EST After another dominating performance, it's clear Kentucky's Nerlens Noel is a shotblocker of unusual ability. So unusual, in fact, the only apt comparison for Noel might be Hall of Famer Bill Russell, Mike DeCourcy says.
An analytical look at five significant questions in college basketball this week:
2 Nerlens Noel might be this century's Bill Russell. How could anyone believe that's a slight?
DeCourcy: It's actually more complicated than that. Following his 12-block performance in Kentucky's big victory at Ole Miss on Tuesday night, I revisited my comparison of Noel to Russell from the summer of 2011. I immediately began receiving tweets from other users who offered up what they believed were better comparisons. Two things became apparent: 1) Most of these people had not seen Russell, or seen films of him; 2) They hadn't a real idea of what makes Noel an uncommon and extraordinary talent.
The natural comparison because he was a Wildcat last year is Anthony Davis, but they're different players. Davis is amazingly quick for his size and is a more complete defender; no big man his age has better understood how to defuse a pick-and-roll, and just think of how many of Davis' blocks wiped out perimeter shots. But Davis does not get off the floor as quickly, as dynamically—and as repeatedly—as Noel, whose specialty is to control action around the lane.
Comparisons to Marcus Camby and Dikembe Mutombo also are off the mark. They became dominant shot-blockers by using length and timing, not the sort of bounce and athleticism that distinguish Noel's play and invite comparisons to Russell.
Then someone mentioned Greg Oden, whom I judged to be an inaccurate comparison because he, too, lacked that ability to elevate quickly and repeatedly. But I did say Oden was a more complete defender at the same stage because of his strength and ability to deny low-post position.
Some UK fans were outraged that Noel could be found wanting in comparison with someone who, as a freshman, led his team to the NCAA title game, dominated that game in a losing effort and then became the No. 1-overall pick in the NBA Draft over future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant.
And that's how comparing Noel to the greatest winner in the history of U.S. team sports, Bill Russell, devolved into an alleged insult against a player who has completed 20 college games.
3 Mike Moser was a double-double machine last year but has three this year. What's wrong?
DeCourcy: It started, of course, with the elbow injury that occurred in the Rebels' victory at Cal. It was a freak accident—a player fell on his arm while they were chasing a loose ball—and that led to him missing six of the next seven games. At the point Moser was injured, he had scored in double figures four times in six games. He's only done it once in six full games since his return.
About the same time Moser went out, transfer center Khem Birch was arriving as an eligible player. The Rebels were fortunate to be able to plug Birch into the vacancy the injury created, but it also meant Moser was returning to a substantially different team.
The plan always had been for Moser to move to small forward and create a frontcourt with three NBA prospects, including freshman star Anthony Bennett. But that plan always was bound to work better in theory than in practice because Moser is not a college small forward.
A pro small forward? Maybe. It's a different position there. In college, you're more likely to find a 6-4 shooter at that spot than a 6-8 rebounder. Moser never has been a serious 3-point shooter, so it's hard to incorporate him in the offense while he plays that position. Against Nevada on Tuesday, he still did his job as a rebounder but shot only 1-of-6 from the field. His one truly successful game since returning was a 14-point, 40-minute effort against Air Force, but even then he turned it over four times and was 0-of-4 from 3-point range.
UNLV coach Dave Rice still is tinkering with his lineup and rotation. The Rebels have won four of their past five, so that's fine. Eventually finding a way to make Moser more comfortable, though, will make the team better. 3. Ohio State's Deshaun Thomas now has scored 20 points or more in six of his eight Big Ten games. He's hitting his All-America stride, right?
4 Deshaun Thomas has scored 20 points or more in six Big Ten games. He's hitting his stride, right?
DeCourcy: Everybody in the Big Ten recognizes Deshaun Thomas must score for Ohio State to have a chance in a serious league game. Only one other Buckeye—wing Lenzelle Smith—averages in double figures, and he has had only three-double figure games in conference play.
If Thomas does not deliver, it's a fair bet OSU is in trouble.
Many Big Ten teams are known for playing excellent defense—for instance, Wisconsin, whose preferred pace kept the Buckeyes to only 58 points Tuesday night. But almost no one's stopping Thomas.
He has been phenomenal, and he deserves more recognition for what he is getting done. As the focus of every opponent's defensive game plan, Thomas is shooting 47.4 percent from the floor and 41.3 percent from 3-point range. He scored 20 against Michigan, 28 against Michigan State and 25 against Wisconsin.
This is the player we imagined when we named him a preseason first-team All-American. We thought he'd have a bit more help. That is hasn't really arrived only emphasizes his excellence.
5 A lawsuit that would allow players to pursue a cut of TV money is moving forward. How big a deal is that?
DeCourcy: The NCAA is trying to continue smiling through this. It's certainly no guarantee the O'Bannon plaintiffs will win the lawsuit, or even that it will make it to court. The case hasn't even been certified as a class-action yet.
But from a layman's perspective, the O'Bannon case always seemed to be on firmest ground when examining whether players' likenesses were being used in the marketing of video games and whether it was fair that footage of their athletic exploits were used in television advertisements that were conceived and aired long after their amateur careers were over. There was money, too, in that those aspects of the case. But not like there would be if the bank vault that contains NCAA television dollars is breeched.
Being permitted to argue the athletes deserve some TV money might be only the first hole of 72 in the long contest to actually receive a cut. But they're still on the course.
6 With Kentucky and UNC struggling, how cool would it be if the two met in a First Four game in Dayton?
DeCourcy: It would be mega-cool, except to the Wildcats and Tar Heels. It's not going to happen.

Gem of the Ocean begins August Wilson's century-long cycle chronicling Black American life. Bewildered by the collapse of the old slave regime, the first generation of Black Americans recently freed from slavery are unprepared for the backlash against their newly acquired freedom by whites. Many venture north and find themselves at Aunt Ester's door, seeking solace, advice, or a place to heal.

Hot Springs, AR (Sports Network) - T.J. Prince scored a team-high 22 points as
the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers slipped by the South Alabama Jaguars, 62-59,
in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament at Summit Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the sixth-seeded Hilltoppers (18-15) were
George Fant and Jamal Crook with 18 and 10 points, respectively, the former
also pulling down a game-high nine rebounds.
The third-seeded Jaguars (17-12) were led by Augustine Rubit who dropped in 22
points and cleared eight rebounds, but he shot just 4-of-18 from the floor on
the night. Javier Carter pitched in with 11 points in the loss.
USA shot a dismal 6-of-25 from the floor in the first half, but thanks to a
13-of-15 showing at the free-throw line in the frame the team was able to stay
within striking distance at the break, down by just three points at 29-26.
In the second half WKU connected on 52.4 percent from the field in order to
keep up with the Jags and eventually take the narrow win.
With the victory the Hilltoppers, who were outscored at the free-throw line by
a 23-11 margin, will now clash with Arkansas State in the semifinals on Sunday

Professor Stanley T. Jones, Chairperson
Office: 206 Gallalee Hall
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers major and minor programs in physics and a minor in astronomy.
Requirements for the physics major. There are four tracks leading to the B.S. degree in physics: the graduate school track, primarily for students considering graduate work in physics; the biophysics track, designed for students planning a career in one of the health professions; the astrophysics track, for students interested in astronomy or space science; and the physics education track, for students who want to teach in grades K–12.
All four tracks require the following core courses: PH 105, PH 106 (or, with permission of the department chair, PH 101, PH 102), PH 253, PH 255, PH 301 or PH 302, PH 331, CH 101, and CH 102 (or the equivalent). Additional course requirements for the different tracks are
- Graduate school track: PH 332, PH 441, PH 442, PH 471, PH 491 (or PH 493), plus 3 hours at the 300 or 400 levels in PH or AY
- Biophysics track: PH 254, PH 411, CH 231, CH 232, CH 237, BSC 114:115, BSC 116:117, plus 6 more hours in PH (above the 300 level), plus 3 more hours in chemistry
- Astrophysics track: PH 332, PH 441, PH 442, AY 203, AY 204, AY 206, plus 6 more hours in AY (above the 300 level)
- Physics education tack: PH 254, PH 405, PH 493, plus 4 more hours of PH (above the 300 level)
Physics major for engineering students. The Department of Physics and Astronomy has developed second-major curricula for most of the engineering departments. These curricula are designed to minimize duplication of subject matter. This combination of fundamental and applied physics can be highly advantageous when the graduate enters the job market. For more information, contact the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Requirements for the physics minor. The minor in physics requires 18 hours of physics including 6 hours of physics courses numbered 300 or above. A minimum of 6 hours at the 300 or 400 level must be earned on this campus.
Requirements for the astronomy minor. The minor in astronomy (AY) requires 18 hours including AY 203, AY 204, AY 206, PH 253, PH 255, and 6 hours in astronomy courses at the 300 or 400 level. A minimum of 6 hours at the 300 or 400 level must be earned on this campus.
Honors program in physics. Requirements for the bachelor of science degree with honors in physics are 1) completion of the course requirements for the B.S. degree with a major in physics; 2) maintenance of a 3.3 grade point average in physics courses and a 3.0 GPA for all coursework; 3) submission of an acceptable honors thesis based on research conducted under the supervision of a faculty member in physics or astronomy; and 4) participation in the 1-hour senior-level honors physics seminar, PH 490. Students are invited to apply for admission to the honors program in physics on the basis of performance in introductory courses. Inquire at the Department of Physics and Astronomy office for further information.
|A Suggested Sequence of Courses for the Physics Major
2Six hours in courses designated W must be included in the junior or senior year. A minimum of 36 hours in 300- and 400-level courses, including 12 hours in the major and 6 hours in the minor, must be completed on this campus.
Graduate programs. The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers programs leading to the master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees. The requirements for these degrees are stated in the University of Alabama graduate catalog. A student beginning graduate work leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. degree should have the equivalent of an undergraduate major in physics and an undergraduate minor in mathematics, including one intermediate course in each of the main fields of physics. Intermediate courses not included in the undergraduate program should be taken at the earliest possible time. A comprehensive background in general physics is considered as important as mastery of a specialized field.

|CBS4 News spotlights Bahlers in recession report
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
CBS4 News reporter Suzanne McCarroll interviews Albert and Annie Bahler for a report on beating the recession to air on the program in the near future. McCarroll asked the Bahlers questions about the Depression era and how it compares to today's recession, as well as any advice they have for struggling families. Chip Scheunemann was also interviewed by McCarroll for the report. Albert and Annie's niece, Linda Statz, initiated the interview when she saw a report on a couple who had been married 75 years on the news show. Knowing her aunt and uncle had been married that long, she contacted CBS4 and told them about the Bahlers. However, McCarroll wanted to tie their story into the current recession somehow. When Statz told her the Bahlers have never had any credit nor debt, it was thought they could offer some good advice and a different perspective on the current economy. —Enterprise photo

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- The San Antonio Spurs won their fifth NBA championship, beating the Miami Heat 104-87 on Sunday night to win the series in five games.
Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who added this title to the ones they won in 1999, 2003, '05 and '07. They nearly had another last year, but couldn't hold off the Heat and lost in seven games.
The rematch was no match at all.
San Antonio rebounded from an early 16-point deficit by outscoring the Heat 37-13 from the start of the second quarter to midway in the third.
LeBron James had 31 points and 10 rebounds as Miami's two-year title reign ended.

Former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno has scrapped his twice-delayed U.S. tour.
The British rocker had originally been due to stage the shows in December, but the trek was called off after Di'Anno failed to obtain the necessary visa.
He had planned to head back to the U.S. in May to play the rescheduled dates, but the gigs were pushed back to the end of the year – and now they have been scrapped altogether.
Di'Anno took to his Facebook page on Sunday to tell fans the news, and claimed that issues with a booking agent prompted him to call off the shows.
In a post, he writes, "My apologies to the American fans who have been let down and to the various promoters who got so badly burnt in this way."

Have you noticed the media highlighting the drop in consumer spending this holiday season? Let it be known that I'm doing my part to keep the economy moving in the right direction; just ask my husband.
After a handful of internet purchases over the weekend, it suddenly occurred to me that at some point, the credit card bill was going to land in my husband's hands. Gulp. Every year this marital couple goes through the same routine. Christmas shopping equals January stress.
My distress, of course, motivated the focus of this article. What would it be like to have a chronic, habitual pattern of overspending, even to the point of financial ruin?
Compulsive buying disorder is considered an impulse control disorder that is characterized by excessive or poorly controlled preoccupations, urges or behaviors regarding shopping and spending that lead to subjective distress or impaired functioning. It is estimated to have a lifetime prevalence rate of 5.8 percent in the adult population living in the United States.
Eighty percent of consumers that are being treated for compulsive buying are women, though researchers believe this is more a representation of the gender willing to seek assistance. The disorder is typically chronic or intermittent (sorry dear). Age of onset is in the late teens or early 20s.
The disorder is documented worldwide, though certainly more prevalent in developed countries with market-based economies. Families of those with compulsive buying disorder have higher incidences of mood disorders and substance addiction.
As well, the individuals themselves are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and personality disorders. Interestingly, individuals who meet criteria for this disorder are notably more narcissistic than the general population.
To date, there is no evidence-based practice for treating compulsive buying disorder. Preliminary studies show some promise with cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at one's thoughts related to buying and the practice of new buying behavior.
Psychotropic medication has not had favorable outcomes for this disorder. So unfortunately, even if an individual's depression and anxiety improve with medication, the pocketbook will still suffer without therapy.
Happy Holidays to all. May you find peace, joy and balanced spending during this shopping season.

NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC and Alec Baldwin say they are ending the actor's talk show, which was suspended for two weeks after the actor used an anti-gay slur against a photographer in a New York City street.
MSNBC said it was a "mutual parting and we wish Alec all the best."
Baldwin's Friday night talk show was only a few episodes old before he was videotaped using the epithet.
Baldwin apologized and was given the suspension.
The move comes just weeks after a woman was convicted of stalking the "30 Rock" star and his wife.

Best of the BunchWritten by on November 17, 2004 Contributors: Tim Bernsau, Damon Lee NSRA Street Rod Nationals
Football fans have the Super Bowl. Movie buffs have Oscar night. So where do hot rodders go to see the biggest names from our hobby in one place at one time? We head to the National Street Rod Association's Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky.
The 35th annual Nats was the best Nats we've been to in a while. Construction at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center took away a bunch of primo power parking spots, but the 400-acre facility was still big enough for the 11,500 pre-'49 rods that showed up from all over America.
Inside the Expo Center building, aftermarket manufacturers showed off their latest parts, tools, and gear--including 160 new items on display in the New Products exhibit. Anybody with any dough left over after visiting more than 300 commercial vendor displays could spend the rest of it in the huge swap meet area.
On Friday, R&C hosts the Pro's Pick competition. NSRA gives us a corner of the grounds where anybody registered in the Nats can park for a few hours while the R&C staff and some of top builders around inspect and evaluate the high-end iron, finally selecting 12 Pro's Picks.
Of course, our list of faves goes far beyond those dozen award winners. We came back from the Nats with hundreds of photos of America's finest rides. We only have a few pages to show 'em, so here's a small sample of the stuff we saw.
For a look at the Nats in its entirety, you've got to go to Louisville. NSRA has booked the Expo Center for August 4-7, 2005. Before you go, visit www.nsra-usa.com.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Pro's Pick: Ken Barnhart from Ken's Street Rods, showed with his 350/350 full-fendered '32 roadster, built very traditionally from an original-bodied car and riding on a TCI chassis.Pro's Pick: Don Montgomery's Mercury model '33 Chevy is a rare car. The elegant custom coupe was a runner-up for Goodguys Street Rod of the Year.The lines of a '33 roadster never looked nicer than on Tim Kerrigan's full-fendered version, riding on a pushrod suspension. The Ford 4.6L is backed up by a five-speed. The roadster won America's Most Beautiful Street Rod at Goodguys Pleasanton.Greg Porter's '34 Plymouth is stuffed full of traditional East Coast style with a six-carb Hemi, radical channel job, whitewall slicks, and serious gold 'flake paint.Pro's Pick: George Lange's '49-flathead-powered '32 three-window nails the traditional hot rod look, and rides on a Deuce front suspension with '36 Ford rearend parts in back.Pennsylvania's Frankie C took a custom approach with his '38 Ford sedan-turned-hardtop. Looks pretty slick to us.Pro's Pick: We really like this trend toward contemporary cars with a traditional twist, which is the route Scotty Gray took with his '33 Speedstar. The Ohio-flamed hood hides a 509 big-block.This '29 roadster was built in the '50s by sprint car racer Karl Kinser and Claude Kern. Kern has owned it since 1960 and has albums of photos, stacks of time slips, and hours of stories from the A's draggin' days in the '60s. He rebuilt it in 1996, adding a 283 but kept the original dash and Naugahyde bench.
One of the cars that used to race against Claude Kern's '29 is this channeled, W-motor-powered '31 Model A coupe, owned by John Mandabach. It looked great cruisin' the grounds all weekend.Pro's Pick: It seems like everybody loved Paul Brewer's chanelled and Y-block-powered '34 Ford pickup, loaded with East Coast-style, not to mention a Ford small-block with Offy heads.Pro's Pick: We've showed you shots of Don Enloe's '40 Ford before. The street-scrapin' sedan with the Fatman front end was back at the Nats to earn a Pro's Pick prize.How low can an Olds go? Richard Eller's '47 fastback gets way down thanks to a GM subframe and air bags, and scoots down the road just fine with small-block Chevy power.Phil Becker dared to alter the sacred lines of his '40 Ford's lines with quad headlights, Corvette bumpers, custom taillights, and a '55 Chevy dash. The result is a cool custom rod that looks like it could've come out of the late '50s.Jerry Marker's '33 Plymouth coupe looks cool as a highboy, thanks in part to a '32 Ford frame, which seems to fit perfectly. A Mopar Magnum 360 engine, leather interior, and Josh Shaw/Robbie Baker flames over black paint add to the appeal inside and out.This '30 coupe, a popular show winner and Hot Rod feature car in the early '60s, ended up in pieces in the woods, with the grille buried in the mud. Mel Lawyer has been rebuilding this old survivor since last November, bringing it back to its old-time show condition with the original flathead and three deuces.According to current owner Gary Kittle, this Cadillac-powered custom '32 roadster was originally built by Indiana's Bob Metz (who added fins to R&C's Dream Truck), made the East Coast show circuit in the early '60s, was featured in the January 1963 Custom Rodder magazine, and was stored away until November 2003.
Pro's Pick: Wide whites, American Salt Flat wheels, and classy maroon paint give Jim Nicholson's unchopped '32 three-window classic appeal. The inside is just as nifty with maroon vinyl, white rolls and pleats, and a '40 Ford wheel with column-mount tach. Hard to believe it's an old dirt track warrior.

great work.
Here is the begining of my entry. The idea is to make a map of the universe but as seen by a primitive race who have been visited by aliens over time. So there are pictures of a rocket, galaxies and images of the aliens, planets moving in retrograde and what might be a space-suit helmet.
The style and colours are a mixture of Mayan and Chinese with some other motifs thrown in. There is still a long way to go with this, Another annulus around this one will have a star chart as drawn by the primitive race...well that's the idea anyway!

Thanks Sagenlicht, it was all done in Seriff draw plus which is like a poor man's adobe illustrator (but can do about 90%) of what illustrator does and is much easier to use. These days I use it to draw most of my maps if I'm not using photoshop.

Developed in conjunction with renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Fiorillo, Hydroxatone's unique proprietary formula contains a combination of leading anti-aging ingredients in one anti-aging system. The result is an industry leading skin care formula to reduce the appearance of aging from fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles and even age spots while helping to minimize the damaging effects of stress and the environment. Daily use of Hydroxatone will make your skin look and feel smoother and younger in less time.
Aging is inevitable, but its most ravaging effects on the skin can often be mitigated with the right products and the right skincare practice. That's the guiding mission of the Hydroxatone brand, which offers formulations that tackle common aging symptoms on both the face and the rest of the body.
There are two broad categories of aging: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic aging refers to the genetically dictated part of the process, the onset of traits such as skin dryness and degraded elasticity that proceeds on a different timetable for everybody. Extrinsic aging is sometimes called "premature aging," and stems from our own lifestyle choices and our exposure to the environment. Causes of extrinsic aging are diverse, running the gamut from a poorly balanced diet heavy on refined carbohydrates to unprotected tanning from natural sunlight or an artificial machine.
To combat wrinkles, age spots, sagging folds, raccoon eyes, and other regular dermatological manifestations of aging, the Hydroxatone line employs advanced formulations integrating skin-boosting ingredients. Three of the major ones are Matrixyl 3000, Argireline, and Hyaluronic Acid. The first two are peptides that promote collagen production, which can diminish the appearance of creases and wrinkles. Hyaluronic Acid, meanwhile, is a significant hydrator--capable of holding some 1,000 times its weight in water--and helps improve your skin's softness and smoothness.
Whether it's the corners of the eyes or the décolleté, Hydroxatone has the tools for restoring some texture and vibrancy to age-pummeled skin.

We're the grass in the redistricting field
(Page 2 of 2)
A third map — the most impartial and least incumbent-preservation-driven — was put forth by a coalition of good-government groups, including the League of Women Voters.
The County Legislature's Rules Committee voted on Feb. 11, along party lines, to put a slightly revised GOP map up for a vote by the full Legislature, which is expected to happen on Feb. 25. The deadline for having a new map in place is March 5, and the new districts take effect for this November's elections.
The Republican map that is likely to be approved is nothing less than a disenfranchisement of your vote. Legitimate elections are based on the fundamental concept that citizens can freely choose who will represent them. When incumbent politicians rearrange the map so that they choose whom they will represent — i.e., which residents get to vote for them, and which residents are exiled from their districts because of the incumbents' fear of defeat — it turns the process on its head, making so many votes meaningless.
It's not reasonable to expect the majority Republicans to approve any map other than one that's most favorable to their long-term political interests. If the Democrats take charge after the next census, they would no doubt try to solidify and expand their support.
That's why redistricting shouldn't be left to politicians. The best plan — the one that put voters ahead of politicians — was devised by the coalition of groups of concerned citizens. But that plan had as much chance of being heard as a sparrow in a field of elephants and donkeys.
Until we can change the law, we should raise our voices. Call your county legislator, regardless of his or her party, and let him or her know that you strongly object to being disenfranchised, and that you're well aware that this cynical district-splitting serves no other purpose than to empower incumbents rather than voters.
And we can withhold our votes from the politicians who promise independent redistricting and break those promises as soon as they get elected. Let's all remember their names come Election Day, and support their opponents.

MS Arch
Changing the way we design and build our cities and communities is the first step toward developing a pattern for a sustainable world. Since World War II, the American landscape in particular has suffered from uncontrolled and unsustainable suburban sprawl. These patterns of development have contributed to air and water pollution, necessitated long commute times in personal vehicles, resulted in the formation of communities that have little or no civic identity, and drawn vital development away from urban centers.
Urban design looks beyond the design of individual buildings in order to provide sustainable design solutions for cities, towns, landscapes and campuses. The post-professional degree program allows students to focus their studies in urban design, one of the Architecture Program's nationally-recognized strengths. Study in the post-professional program can be complemented by coursework in urban planning, historic preservation and real estate development.
Profile of Applicants
Applicants who already possess a professional degree in architecture, such as a Bachelor of Architecture, Master of Architecture or Doctor of Architecture, may apply to the Master of Science in Architecture post-professional degree program. Many applicants to the program already have professional experience and/or professional registration.
Tuition and Fees
Current tuition, fees and other expenses for degrees at the University of Maryland are posted on the Office of the Bursar website.
The Master of Science in Architecture degree is a post-professional degree, it is not an accredited professional degree.

August already? The summer always seems to pass so much faster than the winter, sigh.
DD is sort of walking. She CAN walk, and has walked about 3 or 4 steps between us multiple times, as well as 7 or 8 steps following me a couple times. She is the kind of kid who likes to barrell forward, screaming in triumph. When she uses her push truck she literally screams, with a huge smile on her face, while SPRINTING forward until she hits a wall BAM then she laughs and laughs, backs up, turns around (she can walk well enough to maneuver the push truck), and does it again. Of course, this means she really doesn't care for the tedium of staggering forward, 7 steps at a time. She stands there, looks at where she wants to go, then sits and scoots really fast to where she wants to be.
This whole thing is of course a perfect example of how a second child is different than a first. Despite the fact it seems like EVERYONE is asking if she's walking and my MIL and M have both made some comments about how she's not walking yet ("are you practicing?"), I'm not really concerned. I'm kind of happy, actually. With her personality and her climbing abilities (we found her standing on a kitchen chair the other day, chewing on the mortgage bill we'd left on the table), I'm fine with her waiting until the fall to walk.
I'm in the process of weaning her. We're down to just the morning feeding. That's going smoothly.
Anyone have any great fun family plans for the end of the summer? We might go camping but we're still waiting to hear about DH's work schedule before we decide.

Is the "Propose New Time" functionality for a meeting request in Outlook supposed to work?
I tried the following:
User1 (from Zimbra Web Client): Proposed a meeting with User2 for 4:30pm
User2 (from Outlook): Replies with "Propose New Time" of 5pm
The problem is that User1 from Zimbra Web Client sees this as a normal message (it does show a calendar icon in the "Message Status" column) -- and the web client doesn't take any action with regard to the new time proposed.
I couldn't find any bug or forum thread on this.

Rear Window Rust Repair - A Rot RebellionWritten by on October 1, 2007 Rear Window Rust Be Gone
In our June '07 issue, we detailed what went into replacing the wheelhousings on Ed Blankenship's 383 Road Runner. Tracy Hicks and Mark Scott of Wise Guyz Rod & Custom in Jonesborough, Tennessee, had already replaced the trunk pan when we arrived on the scene to document the remaining metalwork on this classic Mopar musclecar. As mentioned in the previous installment, the trunk was done first to help create a platform to support people and tools, which will come in handy on this next step.
This month, we are going to document the process of replacing the rotted-out areas at the lower corners of the rear window opening. Puddles of wet, rotting leaves had eaten far into the metal in these critical areas, and it is imperative when making repairs to make sure the weather seal will fit completely and properly into the rebuilt channel. The car also had some unique outer-edge damage that needed to be rebuilt. The corner replacements are available as stampings commercially, but each car is different, so some "massaging" will be part of this effort. The most important part of the job is to make sure the measurements are as close as possible because that rear window needs to fit into the replacement snuggly.
Many home garage craftsmen may not have access to the larger metal brakes and tools that helped moved this process along at the Wise Guyz shop. The art of fabricating and fine-tuning the replacement pieces that are not available commercially will likely require the use of some specialized equipment to be done properly, though a good craftsman can fabricate some of it with care and patience. Regardless, the work shown here can help you determine what you might need to do to get your own Mopar repairs done.
- TiG welder
- MiG welder with .035 wire
- Air or electric rotary tool (grider, cutoff wheels, drill)
- Air or electric metal hacksaw/ saber saw
- Body hammer and dollies

2 The next step was cleaning and polishing to determine the extent of the problem. It cannot be emphasized enough that if you are planning to weld anything, bare metal is a must. For most total restoration projects, media blasting the body is the proper way to go, however, this is not a complete restoration and grinding the affected regions will have to suffice.3 Once we got into good metal, a straight edge was used to ensure we made clean cuts to remove the rot. The measured line-at 1 1/2-inches from the lip-is further out from the rust to make sure the replacement parts are large enough to be heated without warping. Other cuts will be at hard angles, not curved.4 The first step was using a cutting wheel to make a small but straight incision in the center of the line. You can either use the cutting wheel for all the cuts or a power jigsaw if you have one.5 At this point, the rear tray was also removed to assess the damage and replace it. The spot welds holding the Dutchman panel in place are located under the panel and were drilled out. We will cover replacement of this piece in a later installment. Meanwhile, the rest of the rot for our window-channel problem was carefully removed, leaving the inner metal to support the new pieces.6 With the metal cut out, we used an air chisel to knock the remaining pieces off the inner structure of the window channel.7 Remember, a clean surface is vital. We used a Twinfiber wheel to make this go quickly without doing any damage to the raw metal. You can use whatever you have handy.8 Here is the replacement YearOne corner placed against the original location before the cutting started, and again once the old metal was cut out. The production variances in this car made the stamped angle of our replacement piece off by a small amount.In our case, we will not need the whole thing, so the trimming begins. You can see the higher area where the rear tray fits has already been cut off the new piece.
10 Before anything else was done, the replacement parts were again measured for exact fit. From the underside, you can see the corner of the new piece is lower than the corner of our cut edge and will need to be "tweaked."The new rear Dutchman tray and support were partially installed to give a good base to attach the inner tab of our corner.11 To change the angle of the new corner, a cut was made to both corners of the replacement piece except at the center upright edge so it can flex but not become two separate pieces. It can then be adjusted to fit exactly.12 Using the old piece of removed metal as a template, the corner piece was adjusted and marked.13 The gaps were carefully welded up. to prevent heat build-up, we worked slowly to "sew" the metal together.14 With the new piece held in place with our Cleco pins (if you don't have Clecos, use sheetmetal screws), an exact template of the rest of the cut-out metal area was made, using heavy paper and trimming it to fit.This needs to be as exact as possible, though some trimming may be needed as you go. The new replacement was trimmed out of steel sheetmetal. remember, you can trim a little; you can't make it bigger.15 Since the top of the quarter-panel was not flat, the new piece needed to have a bend in it, and that slightly changed the angle of the corner. To remedy the angle change, a gap was cut into the replacement piece; then adjusted to fit on the car, and again carefully welded up.
16 Cleaned up, the piece fit right into the gap. Using a welder, the first tack weld was made near the upper edge of the replacement.17 Slowing working down the replacement section, welds were added every 2-inches or so to start with, going about halfway down and hammering and fitting the metal. the homemade piece was actually fitted on top of the replacement piece. The edge where the replacement piece and the repop meet will be welded together.18 Here is the initial tack welds across the top edge of our replacement. It should be noted that every other spot was welded, allowed to cool, and then the rest were added, taking care to never allow the torch to heat the metal more than necessary. That slight overhang will be edge-finished once the inner piece has been fitted.19 Occasionally, the edge will need to be ground down on the replacement due to shrinkage of the gap due to weld-generated heat. This is why it was so critical that the original cut was straight-taking your time will make this right.20 After checking our fitment, we found the bottom-edge section of the window opening was slightly higher than needed (meaning protruding into the window opening).The trim was laid into the channel, and a line was drawn on the excess metal, which was then cut out.21 Next was cleaning the new corner and edge. This area is what will be visible to the eye once the corner trim is installed, so careful finishing was important.22 The window-trim fitment was also checked on the window's upright edge and marked for minor clean up.
24 Rather than trying to cut out the angled pieces of metal exactly as the pattern, we made the pattern straight for ease of layout and cutting. The design was drawn out on the steel and then cut.25 After adding a small cut at the bend location, (which allows the piece to be bent to match the original window opening pattern), the new replacement piece was bent around a bar and carefully hammered into shape. The separation shown in the center-where the cut was made-made the curved center point a little simpler to fabricate.26 our new piece was fitted inside the channel; they overlap on top of the corner we installed previously.27 The longer piece was tack-welded to the channel edge, tucking under the top piece so that it can be smoothed down. a body hammer was used to make the transition into the corner exactly fit the lower structure we added earlier.28 Next, yellow cardstock was laid into the window channel and a pattern was marked. the inner edge was trimmed and made to fit.29 This is a flat replacement piece cut out of sheetmetal and has holes in it to weld it to the channel. It was fit, clamped in place, and the initial tack welds were done to hold it in place.31 Be careful and take your time welding. Hit the area once, move to another area, hit it, and go to a third area. Never add more than 1/2-inch length of weld to any one spot at one time.
