Terry, Nick Saban dedicate Nick's Kids Playground
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 2:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 2:18 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | A couple of years ago, Terry Saban was walking along the Riverwalk on the Black Warrior River, stopped, turned to a friend, and said "This would be a great spot for a playground."
Teachers honored
Friday's event also honored 22 recipients of the Nick's Kids Teacher Excellence Award, recognizing exemplary elementary and middle school teachers in the area. These teachers were nominated by their principals and chosen by a Nick's Kids committee:
Celeste Wells, Skyland Elementary
Tracie Latham, Skyland Elementary
Emma Adams, Skyland Elementary
Cathy Stephens, Southview Elementary
Patricia Ford, Rock Quarry Elementary
Karrie Curry, Rock Quarry Elementary
Lindsay Kilgore, Rock Quarry Middle

On Friday, the wife of University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban sheared a red ribbon making the playground a reality.
And with that, the Nick's Kids Playground opened for Tuscaloosa children as the latest development along the river bank beside Jack Warner Parkway. The Nick's Kids Fund, the Sabans' charity organization benefiting children, partnered with Alabama Forever, the city of Tuscaloosa, Almon Associates, Hammill Recreation, the Junior League of Tuscaloosa and Mike Chambers to build the playground. Even before the ribbon was cut, the playground was covered with laughing children.
"It warms my heart to hear the children playing in the back here," Nick Saban said. "Even though I don't get an opportunity to participate a lot in making all this happen, we try to contribute in the way that we can so that we can give to people who have supported Nick's Kids and the things we do to support Nick's Kids to make things like this happen."
Mayor Walt Maddox attended the ceremony as well.
"What you see here today is action, and not words," said Maddox. "One of the things I have seen over the past 19 months as we have recovered from the tornado, is people putting their faith into action. What we see here are the Sabans, who time and time again have given back in a very powerful way."
The event also honored 22 recipients of the Nick's Kids Teacher Excellence Award, recognizing exemplary elementary and middle school teachers in the area. They were nominated by their principals and chosen by a Nick's Kids committee. Nick's Kids treated the teachers to a lunch following the playground dedication.
"I've been excited for days to come and be a part of honoring the teachers," Terry Saban said. "I'm a teacher. And I know it takes a special person, a special heart, and gifted leadership to help our children, to be there for them. Excellence in the classroom, but going beyond that. These teachers are there for our kids, they are there after hours. They really care about our children."

Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods returns to golf
Greg: I just found out some very alarming news. Apparently, if Hillary Clinton is elected President the moment she takes the Oath of Office all cats will instantly turn into dogs. Also, cows will immediately stop giving milk. On top of that chickens will start laying eggs with the shells on the inside and yolks on the outside (very messy). But if Donald Trump gets elected the moment he takes the Oath of office all one dollar bills will automatically turn into ONE HUNDRED dollar bills. On top of that your paycheck will instantly double and you will be able to get all the guns you want for free at the post office (this will give new meaning to the term 'going postal'). Yes, I heard it on Faux News, but I did not believe it. So I went to the website Breitbart and they confirmed that this was all true. Oh, on the same program I found out that Hillary Clinton has both Leprosy and Ebola and just by voting for her you contract both. Boy, I sure am glad I found this out before I voted. You can always count on Faux news to give you the honest truth. After all, they are always fair and balanced.

Former star pitcher Bob Welch died from a broken neck after an accidental fall in his bathroom, the Orange County Coroner's office told this newspaper Thursday.
Welch, a famed right-hander for the A's and Los Angeles Dodgers, died June 9 "with epidural hemorrhage due to hyperextension of neck," according to an autopsy report. Officials declined to release any other details about their three-month investigation.
Authorities found Welch's body on a bathroom floor in his home in Seal Beach in June after receiving a call for medical aid. He was 57.
The Dodgers said in a statement in June that Welch had suffered a fatal heart attack, but authorities had not officially ruled on a cause of death at the time.
Welch was working as a minor league pitching coach for Oakland when the accident occurred.
A hard-throwing right-hander, Welch broke into the major leagues in 1978 with the Dodgers. He went 7-4 with a 2.92 earned-run average in his rookie season.
Welch's reputation soared during the memorable '78 World Series against the New York Yankees. He entered Game 2 in the bottom of the ninth with one out and the Dodgers holding a 4-3 lead in Chavez Ravine.
Welch got Thurman Munson to fly out, then struck out Reggie Jackson in one of the more indelible at-bats in World Series history.
A week later, Jackson, baseball's "Mr. October," slammed a home run off Welch in the series' decisive Game 6 at Dodger Stadium.
For the first 10 years of his career Welch was one of the Dodgers' dominant pitchers, going 115-86 with a 3.14 ERA through the 1987 season.
Los Angeles traded him to the A's before the '88 season. Welch, Dave Stewart and Mike Moore anchored a starting rotation that would lead Oakland to the postseason four times in five years. The A's reached three consecutive World Series starting in 1988, including a four-game sweep of the Giants in the earthquake-shattered championship in 1989.
Welch was listed as the Game 3 starter at Candlestick Park on Oct. 17, 1989, but a 7.1-magnitude temblor struck just after 5 p.m., forcing the Series to be postponed for 10 days. When it resumed, Stewart and Moore -- winners of the first two games -- completed the sweep.
Despite struggles with alcoholism, Welch was well liked by teammates.
"He touched me," Hall of Fame closer Dennis Eckersley said in June . "Bobby connected with everybody. You hear people talk about guys being good teammates. Bobby was. He had major energy."
Stewart recalled a lifelong bond with his former pitching ace from the minor leagues to the Dodgers and A's.
"Bobby was always trying to teach me how to play golf," Stewart said in June. "Every time I tried to give it up, he said, 'You've got to keep playing.' That was Bobby, a glass-half-full guy.''
The 1990 season saw Welch at his finest. After a terrible spring training and 3-2 start, Welch had a 10-game winning streak to earn his second All-Star Game berth. He finished 27-6 to win the American League Cy Young Award as the league's best pitcher.
The 27 victories were not only a career high, but the last time any major leaguer has won 25 or more games in a season. He was the first pitcher since the Phillies' Steve Carlton in 1972 to win 27 games.
Welch's career ended after the strike-shortened 1994 season when Oakland cut him in spring training in '95. In 17 years, Welch was 211-146 with a 3.47 ERA and 1,969 strikeouts in 3,092 innings. He won 137 games in the 1980s, the third most that decade behind Jack Morris and Dave Stieb.
Welch was in and out of baseball after his retirement, and won a World Series ring with the Arizona Diamondbacks as their pitching coach in 2001.
In 1981, Welch and former New York Times writer George Vecsey co-wrote "Five O'Clock Comes Early: A Young Man's Battle With Alcoholism." The book described a drinking problem he said began when he was 16. A decade later, the book was updated with the new title, "Five O'Clock Comes Early: A Cy Young Award Winner Recounts His Greatest Victory."
"I would get a buzz on, and I would stop being afraid of girls," Welch wrote. "I was shy, but with a couple of beers in me, it was all right."
Welch would battle alcoholism the rest of his life.
Welch is survived by his sons Dylan, 25, and Riley, 23, daughter Kelly, 18, and former wife Mary Ellen.

Much of our adult behavior reflects the neural circuits sculpted by experience in infancy and early childhood. At no other time in life does the surrounding environment so potently shape brain function – from basic motor skills, sensation or sleep to higher cognitive processes like language. How this plasticity waxes and wanes with age carries an impact far beyond neuroscience, including education policy, therapeutic approaches to developmental disorders or strategies for recovery from brain injury in adulthood.

Balancing plasticity / stability across brain development

Seashore / Seafront Holiday Cottages
Just show me Seashore Cottages
If you could describe your perfect holiday cottage what would it
be? A rural retreat perhaps, far from the madding crowd. Or a
designer pad bursting with gadgets and gizmos, a stone's throw
from the high street.
Or does the thought of lazy sashays along a beach, morning dips
in the sea before breakfast, playing ball with 'Scamp' and
building sandcastles with the kids hold much more appeal? If this
is the case, a seashore cottage would be the ultimate holiday home
for you.
We feature a wonderful collection of seashore cottages, from the
remotest shores of Scotland and Ireland to the breathtaking
coastlines of Northumbria, Pembrokeshire and Cornwall. Some are
located very much on their own for those seeking a truly tranquil
escape, while others nestle in and around picturesque fishing
villages and established seaside resorts. They come in all shapes
and sizes too, with things to do in the locality for every
Enjoy walks along coastal paths, daytrips to offshore islands,
look out for dolphins - even whales, or learn something new like
surfing or water skiing. And at the end of a day's adventure,
curl up in your seashore cottage and listen to the sounds of waves
gently lapping the shore.

In a Saturday morning speech, Fisher quoted Revolutionary War hero Patrick Henry, who once said that while "Different men often see the same subject in different lights," such quibbling had to be set aside in a time of "awful moment to

The subject article by Jessica Smith was very interesting; however, it contained a misleading statement. The statement, "This means that the Colorado Basin currently has just over half of the amount of snow it should have and just over 10 percent less than it had at the same time last year." There is no such thing as the amount of snow an area should have. An average snow amount is not what is to be expected nor what there should be in any year. It is simply an average based on historic records.

Location: Appalachian Fruit Research Laboratory
Project Number: 8080-21000-024-12
Start Date: Sep 01, 2011
End Date: Aug 31, 2016
The threat posed by BMSB to orchard crops, small fruit, grapes, vegetables, and ornamentals is profound. This insect has been officially detected in 36 states and the District of Columbia. We are proposing to rapidly implement a comprehensive plan that includes short-, medium-, and long-term milestones for mitigating the threat to U.S. agriculture. We will identify insecticides that effectively control this invasive species, select materials based on their economic and environmental impacts, and then incorporate them into IPM programs for specific specialty crops. Monitoring tools will be developed to detect BMSB presence, distribution, abundance, and activity, and evaluate behaviorally-based management strategies, such as attract-and-kill, repellency, push-pull and/or mass trapping strategies. We will identify effective biological control agents, cultural control strategies, and other tools and tactics that reduce pesticide inputs, and increase yield and profits. Potential sources of host plant resistance against BMSB among specialty crops will be identified. We will implement biologically- and genetically-based, temporally and spatially relevant control tactics for BMSB in specialty crops using degree-day models, GIS decision support, IPM tools such as trap-based monitoring, attract-and-kill technology, RNAi and genetically altered entomopathogens to increase specialty crop quality and yield, and to reduce environmental impact. Computer vision and pattern recognition tools will be used to develop methods for detection of unapparent BMSB injury in specialty crops during post-harvest. Methods will be developed to detect, reduce, and eliminate BMSB populations and damage at or near harvest for specialty crops destined for storage and/or processing. We will share advances in the development and implementation of effective and innovative tools for BMSB management in specialty crops for diverse audiences. Our Advisory Panel Members will help shape and improve this plan. Guided by the Survey Research Institute, an agricultural economist, and USDA-NASS, we will evaluate local and audience-specific needs using appropriate surveys. Responses will enable us to organize and deliver extension programs and training sessions that best meet the current needs of local, regional, and national stakeholders. We will conduct collaborative research projects with specialty crop growers and producers across the country. The magnitude of the threat posed by BMSB has prompted us to organize cross-institutional commodity teams including orchard crops, small fruit, grapes, vegetables, and ornamentals. These coordinated teams will generate crop-specific information for local, regional, and national Extension, and outreach through print, broadcast, and digital media, in addition to oral presentations at stakeholder and scientific society meetings. The Northeastern IPM Center will coordinate regional and national real-time delivery of BMSB information for specialty crop stakeholders.

Police arrested a 63-year-old man Saturday night in connection with a shooting earlier in the evening in the 700 block of South Pilgrim Street. Julian Lazatin is being held on $510,000 bail at the San Joaquin County Jail for narcotics and felony assault charges.
Police responded about 6 p.m. to the report of the shooting of a 50-year-old man who said he was shot after picking up a car battery that was in the street. Police said when they arrested Lazatin at his residence, he admitted firing the shot. They said they located the firearm at the scene, as well as heroin.
The shooting victim suffered a non-life-threatening wound to his leg.

Prostate Gland
The prostate is a doughnut-shaped gland with two lobes, and it is located below the bladder about halfway between the rectum and the base of the penis. It encircles the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the penis), and in young men it is normally about the size of a walnut. The prostate produces most of the fluid that makes up semen.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< Introduction
|Irving's response >
The Defendants' case
5.245The Defendants contend that, despite the existence of a number of inaccuracies in his account, Aumeier is an important and credible witness whose detailed description of Bunkers I and II and the way the gas chambers in crematoria 2 and 4 were operated powerfully supports their case for saying that gas chambers were used on a massive scale at Auschwitz. Through van Pelt and Evans the Defendants allege that Irving recognised the problem Aumeier's memoirs posed for revisionists in relation to the existence gas chambers at Auschwitz. He wrote to Marcellus of the Institute for Historical Research ("the IHR") on 4 June 1942 that "these MSS are going to be a problem for revisionists, and need analysing now in advance of our enemies and answering".
5.246In order to meet the "problem" posed by Aumeier's account, Irving first surmised, without any evidential basis for doing so, that his account had been extracted by brute force on the part of his interrogators. Thereafter, Defendants allege that Irving suppressed the Aumeier material because it powerfully undermined his thesis that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz. He continued to make speeches denying the Holocaust without mentioning Aumeier's account. Although Irving had read the memoirs in 1992, it was not until May 1996 that Irving informed van Pelt by writing to tell of their existence. Van Pelt observed that the private disclosure of the memoirs to him is a far cry from placing them in the public domain, which is what a reputable and objective historian should and would have done.

Roane County High School sophomore Seth Haynes suffered a broken neck, according to Kingston coach Brian Pankey, while making a tackle on the opening kickoff of the Jackets' loss to Sequoyah on Friday night.
"They said his No. 3 vertebra was crushed," Pankey said Saturday. "He's getting ready to go into surgery in an hour (Saturday afternoon). It was bad enough that they said his football career is over, so it's pretty serious."
Haynes is a receiver and defensive back.
Pankey said dozens of family members, students, and teammates went to UT Medical Center after the game to visit Haynes, who is 15.
The injury was more serious than first though, Pankey said.
"When he was carried off the field, he was able to move," Pankey said. "He had full mobility. He was able to squeeze our hands and respond. I don't think they knew how serious it was until they got to the hospital."

Aside from a brief reunion in the "Cheers" series finale, sparring lovebirds Diane Chambers and Sam Malone ceased their verbal intercourse way back in 1987. But they clearly continue to hold a special place in the hearts of TV fans everywhere.
Diane and Sam easily amassed the most votes in Round 1 of our first-ever battle of the TV couples. In doing so, they breezed past Kelly and Zack of "Saved By the Bell" and into a second-round showdown with Will and Grace, who soundly defeated Carrie and Mr. Big of "Sex and the City."
Other big vote-getters in Round 1 included Rachel and Ross of "Friends" and Beckett and Castle of "Castle."
The closest Round 1 race came down to a face off of current TV couples: Meredith and Derek ("Grey's Anatomy") vs. Mary and Matthew ("Downton Abbey"). The duo from Seattle Grace held a slim lead going into the final hour of the competition, but fans of the popular period melodrama rallied down the stretch to give their young heartthrobs a stunning one-vote victory just as the polls closed.
Now we move on. The tournament continues with a whole new set of single-elimination matchups, including one that pits Rachel and Ross against Cliff and Clair ("The Cosby Show") in a battle of former NBC "Must-See" titans.

Corn Days has come and gone and I don't think there is a soul out there who wouldn't agree with the success of it this year. Each year we ask God for great weather and He certainly delivered for the entire weekend.
As a committee member, we couldn't have asked for better weather, spirits and teamwork. We also wonder from year to year, how we can top last year's numbers? I haven't seen any reports, but I would certainly hope we did.
The comradery during this once-a-year event is amazing. Everyone is pulling their fare share to make this a fantastic event for the entire community and surrounding area.
The corn was sweet and delicious. The hamburgers were sizzling hot and juicy, and everything else must have been as well because there were lines and more lines of people patiently waiting to get something to eat.
A special thank-you to our Chamber of Commerce Director, Trista Barka for pulling everything together this year. It was Trista's first Corn Days and she did a great job of keeping things organized. Trista, we couldn't have done it without your dedication and commitment to a great, annual, community event!
Thank you to everyone who visited Allison Park last Friday and helped us celebrate Corn Days.
Thought for the week: Some people strengthen the society just by being the kind of people they are. – John Gardner.

Sermon Research Matters
In 2010 LifeWay Research found that Protestant pastors devote more time to sermon preparation than anything else they do—and that's good news.
Only 7% dedicate less than 5 hours a week, which is a smaller number than the 9% who dedicate more than 25 hours per week to sermon preparation.
That's a lot of time out of a pastor's work-week. With 65% of pastors working at least 50 hours a week, that indicates to us that the average pastor is dedicating a significant amount of time in sermon preparation.
I want to affirm their energies and effort. The preaching of God's Word matters greatly. It is difficult to underestimate the importance of the pulpit ministry.
Hebrews 4:12 reminds us, "For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart." Beyond that, Romans 10:17 points out, "faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ." This is extremely important.
What we say in the pulpit is used by the Holy Spirit to transform people's lives, and lead them to be like Jesus.
It is because of this important priority that I think sermon research tools are invaluable assets to assisting a pastor to teach and preach well. Language tools, commentaries, Bible dictionaries, software, and so many other options are excellent resources and should be taken advantage by the busy pastor. I know a little bit about this pressure because I serve as a volunteer, unpaid pastor at Grace Church. I use them regularly, but want to use them efficiently.
In my role as volunteer pastor, I have three primary responsibilities. I preach most Sundays, I lead a small group, and I lead the staff of Grace Church. This is in addition to my job—my primary work responsibility—at LifeWay, which occupies most of my time. So, as I prepare to preach each week, I use a variety of these tools to help insure that I am preaching the word of God with accuracy and confidence.
One tool that I have used for quite a while now is a sermon researcher.
On occasion, using a sermon researcher has been given a bad name, which is unfortunate as a good sermon researcher can be an incredibly helpful part of the process, when used with integrity. If you have a bad impression of sermon researchers, it may be due to a wrong impression of what they do.
Right up front it needs to be said that a good sermon researcher does not write sermons. I think some have a perception that lazy pastors who do not want to write their own messages are "cheating" by getting others to do it for them. The truth is, this is almost never the case with a real sermon researcher (downloads off the Internet are another story).
A good sermon researcher is more like a living, breathing language resource, commentary, Bible dictionary, and so much more, and even better, they are able to customize and personalize this research-help package it in a way that is most easily used to each person. When used correctly, a sermon researcher is like the use of any other sermon research tool that you can acquire and which almost every pastor uses on a weekly basis. The researcher just gathers it all in one place, in a helpful brief.
At LifeWay Research we are relentlessly trying to create tools that serve the church and help advance the gospel. Recognizing that sermon research is a vital element of the pastor's responsibilities, and understanding just how precious the pastor's time also is, we have decided to create a sermon research tool to help serve pastors.
We set out to develop a tool that is trustworthy, customizable and one that serves them in their pursuit of faithful preaching. Out of this desire has come PROtheo. PROtheo is a sermon research tool that is powered by LifeWay Research. We provide personalized, customizable sermon research, delivered when you want it, to come alongside you and assist you as you prepare to preach.
The researcher team will provide a briefing of commentary, theology, linguistics, illustrations, and even an occasional statistic to help you prepare the message God is calling you to prepare.
If you are interested in sermon research assistance, we would love to talk to you about it. Drop us a line at email@example.com.

Here is a sample of a textual analysis of Philippians 2:1-11.

Why GT Advanced Technologies shares shorted out
The market isn't quite sure how to react to a mixed earnings report that offered a narrower-than-expected loss, but less revenue than anticipated. A warning about customers backing out of contracts may also be a prime driver of the drop.

Christmas has come early this year for a certain breed of conspiracy theorists.
The story is HERE:
A plane crash that killed Hawaii Department of Health Director Loretta Fuddy on Wednesday has piqued the interest of conspiracy theorists because of her role in verifying President Barack Obama's birth certificate.
In 2011, Fuddy attempted to end the thoroughly debunked conspiracy theories about President Obama's citizenship by verifying his Hawaiian birth certificate. Yet a small number of people still hold onto the theory that Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen, and so is therefore ineligible to be president.Read more

Sweet, I'll be out of town that day. Now maybe I'll have a chance of watching it.
Thanx for the info... It's good news!
...That makes two that are on national tv (Vikings also will be...). Now, they just have to work on something for the Bills and Panthers... The one thing I dislike about pre-season is the fact that many of the games are on local tv only. Even those that are broadcast on FSP are not available outside of the Pgh area due to blackout rules by the league.

The one thing that I still don't understand is how I can pay for Sunday Ticket and the sports package with DTV and still not be able to watch the games live on FSN Pittsburgh! I just don't get it and never will! It is a stupid rule....that is the whole reason I have the sports package is so I can get my Steelers game reviews and pressers, along with the Bucs in the Spring and Summer, still I just don't understand where the disconnect comes from when I dish out my money and still don't get the service that I deserve!

At Presidential Library, LBJ Gets a Makeover
Animatronic Figure Loses Cowboy Hat, Boots for Suit and Tie; Folksy Humor
AUSTIN—The Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library reopened here last weekend after extensive renovations, offering downloadable tour apps and an interactive exhibit about the decisions the president made during the Vietnam War.
Yet some visitors will look for just one thing: the talking, gesturing animatronic likeness of the former president.
"We do a $10 million renovation and all anyone cares about is the LBJ," jokes library spokeswoman Anne Wheeler, adding "It's certainly one of the more memorable exhibits."
For nearly 15 years, an animatronic avatar of the former president held court at the museum, moving and gesticulating to a recording of Johnson's folksy yarns. The eerily lifelike and life-size figure wore a cowboy hat, Western boots and a checked shirt, cordially leaning over a ranch fence, a length of coiled rope in hand.
But when the museum, which attracts an estimated 100,000 visitors annually, began planning its overhaul several years ago, museum curators decided the orchestrator of the Great Society and the Master of the Senate needed a makeover, too.
Gone are the countrified clothes and the ranch fence. Instead, the 36th president now wears a charcoal suit and tie, with no hat, and stands before a podium.
Some in Austin have decried the change of a cherished local icon. "I liked him better at the ranch fence," wrote one columnist in the Austin American-Statesman, who devoted two articles to the matter.
The figure is a mainstay of articles and travel guides about Austin and helped the museum make Travel and Leisure's list of wackiest presidential libraries—the LBJ "will either dazzle you or give you nightmares," the magazine wrote in 2009.
Red Wassenich, who claims to have coined the local rallying cry "Keep Austin Weird," and maintains a website celebrating Austin oddities, says he is nervous about the folksy animatron "being transformed into any sort of urbane raconteur."
But curators say they are just being faithful to history.
"We decided to put him in more of the context of the stories," says Ms. Wheeler. "You hear people laughing after he tells the jokes," she adds, noting that the president's barnyard humor, at least on these occasions, was deployed at official dinners and fundraisers.
The animatron's more dignified mise en scène may also reflect Johnson's increasingly elevated status in the presidential pantheon, thanks in part to Robert Caro's multivolume biographies and distance from the divisive issues surrounding the Vietnam War.
The public is "frankly catching up to the supreme importance of LBJ in forging modern American society," says library director Mark Updegrove.
The animatron is an apt vehicle for Johnson, a natural tale-spinner, says presidential historian Michael Beschloss, who wrote two books about Johnson's taped recordings.
"He had a Texas love of storytelling. When people asked a question, it was never yes or no," says Mr. Beschloss. "My guess is that an animatronic Nixon would not have the same effect."
Though some call it creepy or corny, the animatron makes history more accessible. "These libraries are supposed to bring presidents to life, right?" says history writer Sarah Vowell, who has written about her visits to presidential animatrons.
Like any modern meta-celebrity, the animatronic LBJ also has its own Twitter feed, where it had offered wry, occasionally plaintive observations from inside the library's remodeling: "My fence was moved! Where am I supposed to stand and crack jokes? Thank goodness for Twitter! #theworldismyoyster."
That feed, sent out by a library staffer, has been largely silent during the several months the LBJ figure spent at Sally Corp., a Jacksonville, Fla., maker of animatronics and theme-park attractions. Engineers there tuned up LBJ's pneumatic system of valves, compressors and electronic sensors, and developed some new arm and shoulder gestures befitting his new stance behind the podium.
Remaking the president took months of work, from the meticulous cleaning of the hand-painted features on the silicone-blend face to the individually-inserted hairs on LBJ's hairline, brows and visage, to give him a more formal hairdo to match his period suit.
The figure wasn't the library's idea in the first place. Originally commissioned by Dallas-based retailer Neiman Marcus, the presidential replica was displayed in 1997 as part of an in-store celebration of all things Texas and was donated to the library later that year, where it became a beloved oddity.
The original Neiman Marcus figure, which cost $58,750, was seated in a pickup truck, one gesticulating arm hanging out the window, Sally Corp. officials say.
Sally's chairman and CEO John Wood says he was nervous about LBJ's original creation—the company had created other presidential figures, but none from the modern era. Lady Bird Johnson herself approved the completed product, although she noted that her husband usually drove a car instead of a pickup, Mr. Wood recalls.
The animatronic LBJ was programmed to recount five jocular tales in a loop, the soundtrack taken from archived recordings of the real Johnson.
One story, for example, was about a man whose doctor advised his hearing woes would improve if he quit drinking. During a follow-up visit a few months later, the hearing problems still persisted. The doctor asked if the man had taken his advice. "Well he said, 'Well doctor I got home and I considered it and I just decided that I liked what I drank so much better than what I heard,' " Johnson said.
Because of a glitch, the refurbished figure only gives a short welcome speech while the library still works on making it fully operational.
Those who still prefer the ranch-hand LBJ can take solace in the fact that the figure survives at all.
According to Mr. Updegrove, the library director, some museum curators briefly considered scrapping the exhibit entirely.
"There were two camps," Mr. Updegrove recalls, "and I was firmly in one, with an emphasis on camp."
After some discussion, the staff opted to preserve it.
"My epitaph may well say 'the man who saved the LBJ animatron' and I am just fine with that," he says. "It is sacrosanct."

WASHINGTON (January 21, 2013)--The crowds weren't as big as the ones that gathered four years ago for President Barack Obama's first inauguration, but at least one public viewing area on the National Mall was full, two hours before the swearing-in Monday.
Security was tight across Washington, with several streets near the White House and Capitol Hill closed off.
Humvees and city buses were being used to block intersections.
Volunteers fanned out near the Mall to help direct crowds.
Lawmakers and other officials slowly trickled onto the platform on the West Front of the Capitol where Obama will be sworn in.
Former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle and former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich sat next to each other as they awaited the festivities.
Organizers were expecting 700,000 people to attend the day's events, which would make it the largest second-term inaugural in history.
High temperatures are expected to be in the lower 40s during the day, with a slight chance of rain and snow showers in the afternoon and flurries later.
Vicki Lyons of Colorado, who described herself as being mostly Republican, says being in Washington for the inauguration is "like standing in the middle of history."
Although she didn't vote for Mr. Obama, Lyons said, "No matter who the president is, everybody needs to do this at least once."
A North Carolina woman took her young daughter to the inauguration, just as she did four years ago.
Kenya Strong said she wants daughter Ty to know that "her potential is endless."
Her daughter, who is 15, says she learned in 2009 that she'd meet all types of people, not just African-Americans like herself.
David Richardson of Atlanta and his two young children were in the early crowds heading to the National Mall before sunrise.
He said they "wanted to see history" and he also wanted the children to see that "anything is possible through hard work."
Wendy Davis, also from Georgia, was one of the thousands who packed Metro trains before sunrise.
She came four years ago, but was among the many ticketholders who couldn't get in because of the massive crowds and she was determined to make sure that didn't happen this time.
The president started his day Monday listening to a church pastor urging him to use his power to benefit others, and the nation.
It was part of the sermon at St. John's Episcopal Church near the White House, where Mr. Obama and his family attended services this morning. Vice President Joe Biden and his family also attended.
Inside, R&B singer Ledisi, a favorite of Mrs. Obama's, sang a solo titled "I Feel Like Goin' On."
The sermon was delivered by Pastor Andy Stanley of North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Ga., who asked what one does when they realize they're the most powerful person in that room.
"You leverage that power for the benefit of other people in the room," he said.
To the president, he said, "Mr. President, you have an awfully big room. It's as big as our nation."
Mr. Obama left to cheers from a waiting crowd, then headed back to the White House as time neared to take the oath of office for his second term.

After the game, with an emphatic fist pump, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry -- as he does after he hits a 3-pointer -- patted his heart twice and pointed to the heavens. The record was his.
He knocked down his second 3-pointer of the night at the 6:49 mark of the second quarter. That put him at 270 3-pointers for 2012-13, the most ever in a season. The previous mark was 269, set by then-Seattle guard Ray Allen in 2005-06.
"I was nervous, to be honest with you. I had butterflies," said Curry. "It was like the elephant in the room. That first shot I took was a heat check, just to see what was going on tonight. After that, it was trying not to press, just let it come. But it was hard to keep it out of my head. It was a big relief when that last one went in."
Curry missed his first two from deep. But then he hit the record-tying 3-pointer at the 6:55 mark of the first quarter. He dropped in an open look from the right wing after coming off a screen. He missed a 3-pointer a few minutes later, a contested look on a step-back attempt from the right side.
He checked out with 2:20 left but he was back in to start the second quarter. He came off a screen and had a wide-open look from the top of the key. But he rimmed it out at the 11:23 mark.
But with just under seven minutes left, Jarrett Jack pushed the ball as Curry hustled to the right wing. Jack eyed him the entire way. Curry squared up and caught the pass. He hesitated a bit, but with his trademark quick release he got it of before Portland's Victor Claver could get there. Bucket.
"I was just so happy to get it out of the way so I could focus on the game, because it was hard to do both, to be honest with you," Curry said.
After the game, while holding the game ball secured for him by Richard Jefferson, Curry let down his guard and for the first time expressed some emotion about the record. Up until this point, he had kind of brushed it off when asked about it, acknowledging the possibility for a second before he'd make it clear he was focused on winning.
But with the record in tow, an appreciative and humbled Curry waxed nostalgic.
"Watching Ray Allen shoot in shooting drills when he played with my dad in Milwaukee, I've got an appreciation for how well he shot the ball for his career," Curry said. "Especially that one season. My teammates helped me all the way, setting screens all season and running our offense. It was a pretty special moment for everybody."
Curry didn't see it, too busy breathing a sign of relief, but his teammates went bananas on the sideline when he hit it. Their excitement was still evident after the game.
ANDREW BOGUT: "It's a cool thing to be a part of that, especially for me since I set a lot of screens to get him open. I love getting Steph open with a good screen. I know he's going to knock it down if he's wide open nine times out of 10."
MARK JACKSON: "It took a lot of hard work. A lot of dedication and commitment. Guys getting him open and making plays. Collectively they celebrated it. He's a special guy, so it was well deserved. When an unselfish player achieves a record like that, everybody's into it."
Curry only needed two after hitting 16 3-pointers his last two games: nine on Friday at the Los Angeles Lakers, and seven on Monday at home against San Antonio.
He finished 4 of 11 from 3-point range on Wednesday. Still, Curry finished the season shooting 45.3 percent from 3-point range. That is ridiculous considering he took a league-high 600 3-pointers.
For a little perspective: 19 players took at least 400 3-pointers this season. Only five shot above 40 percent: Curry, Klay Thompson, Randy Foye, Kyle Korver and Danny Green. Of those 19, only Korver (45.7) had a better percentage than Curry, but he took 186 fewer 3-pointers than Curry.
Not impressed? How about this: Since the 1979-80 season, when the 3-point shot was added to the NBA, 50 players have taken 500 or more 3-pointers in a season. Curry had the highest percentage of them all. And some celebrated shooters are on the list. Peja Stojakovic (44.1), Mitch Richmond (43.7), Ray Allen (43.4), Reggie Miller (42.7), Dennis Scott (42.5), Kyle Korver (40.5).
"The run he's put together, the season he's had, it's been a thing of beauty," said Jackson. "To witness it first hand has been a pleasure."
Curry said he didn't think breaking the record was possible. Not until the Lakers game. Before that, Curry needed 17 3-pointers over the final three games. But when he got done lighting up Staples Center with nine 3-pointers, he was just eight back of the record with two games to play. Then he could taste it.
Now, he can own it. The son of a noted NBA shooter, Curry can now claim the greatest 3-point shooting season in NBA history. He has taken over the family business and lifted it to new heights.
"I'm going to cherish it man. It's a special thing," Curry said.

PG&E's highest-risk gas pipelines in the Bay Area are in the East Bay, according to a regulatory filing last year.
In making its case for customer rate increases, PG&E told regulators some of the money was needed to replace its riskiest pipelines, including one in Fremont and another between Livermore and Sunol.
The documents filed with the California Public Utilities Commission don't explain exactly why the company rated the two East Bay pipelines as the highest- and second-highest-risk natural gas transmission lines in the Bay Area. Nor do they state the age of the pipelines.
But the risk was ranked by combining the likelihood they would fail and the consequences to life and property if they did fail.
Typically, engineers consider the population density of communities, the age of the pipelines and other factors, such as nearby earthquake faults, when assessing pipeline risk, said Bob Bea, a professor of engineering at UC Berkeley.
Bea, who has worked extensively on natural gas and oil pipelines, including recent studies of the BP blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, said he was not surprised that the two East Bay lines are considered top risks because the one in Fremont is near the Hayward Fault and the one south of Livermore crosses the Calaveras Fault, two of California's most dangerous earthquake zones.
"Many of the existing pipelines we have in this part of the world were engineered before the days of recognizing how you cross a fault with a pipeline," Bea said. "That makes one hell of a big difference. Crossing a fault at right angles is asking to have the pipeline sheared -- much like cutting a straw with scissors."
The eight-mile segment of Line 107 between Livermore and Sunol, "is the highest-risk pipeline in the Bay Area," PG&E told the state agency. Replacing it would cost $35.1 million.
It would cost $13.4 million to replace a 4.3-mile segment of Line 131 in Fremont, the second-highest-risk pipeline in the Bay Area.
The 30-inch gas line that blew up in a San Bruno residential tract last week killed seven people and destroyed 37 homes.
"We understand that customers can be concerned," said Matt Nauman, a spokesman for PG&E. "And obviously we are continually monitoring and upgrading our gas system."
Nauman said for security reasons he could not discuss specifics, but that if people want to know how close a transmission pipeline is to their homes, they can call PG&E and the utility will provide the information in writing.
He also noted that PG&E will examine the two East Bay pipelines for leaks as part of the statewide inspection of all its transmission lines in the next month.
Livermore officials were never informed of the pipeline risk, said a Livermore official who described his attempts to get information this week from PG&E as "frustrating."
"If they're rating things as high risk, they should be working with local jurisdictions to inform them of that," said Livermore assistant city manager Troy Brown. "We have a right to know that information."
The segment in Livermore skirts the city's southern edge, starting around Greenville Road and heading southwest toward Highway 84, Brown said.
The Fremont pipeline goes from the Sunol Grade near Interstate 680 west to Interstate 880 near Auto Mall Parkway. It was unclear what section of that pipeline needed to be replaced, said Fremont fire Chief Bruce Martin.
"Is this simply a prioritizing of maintenance projects or does this represent an imminent problem?" Martin said. "That's an unanswered question."
Martin said he was seeking information from PG&E to determine the severity of the pipeline risk, but, in any case, he said, it would have been "a welcome gesture" had PG&E provided that information earlier.
The filing mentioned a third pipeline, a 7.9-mile segment of Line 108 between Stockton and Ripon that is PG&E's highest-risk pipeline in the San Joaquin Valley.
All three segments are scheduled for replacement from 2011 to 2014 under a risk-management program regulators approved in 2000.
At that time, PG&E ranked the risk of its 6,438 miles of gas transmission lines by determining how vulnerable its pipelines were to breaking and how much a break would endanger people and property.
PG&E did not disclose the age of the two East Bay pipelines. But in the same filing with the Public Utilities Commission last year, it described a section of line about three miles north of the San Bruno explosion site as "high risk." It was built in 1948.
Bea said pipeline engineering has advanced in recent years. Now, he said, many gas pipelines in earthquake areas are built in trenches surrounded with foam or slurried clay, to absorb seismic shaking without the pipe breaking. Or they are designed to break in earthquakes like links of a chain, with automatic shut-off valves at either end of the link. Older pipelines lack those safeguards, he said.
Still, he noted that natural-gas pipeline accidents in the Bay Area have been rare. His advice for people who live near the high-risk lines? Pressure lawmakers and the Public Utilities Commission to make sure PG&E is inspecting and maintaining its lines.
"I think they should be concerned," Bea said. "That doesn't mean panicked, but concerned, so that they turn to the governments that are supposed to be 'of, by and for the people' and say that we expect to have our infrastructure properly maintained and configured so it serves the public interest."
Pipelines are considered the safest way to move large amounts of gas and fuel, but the catastrophic San Bruno blast and fire is forcing pipeline regulators to consider new safety measures.
"The Livermore line is a real concern because it's a major line coming in from the Central Valley," said Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove. "PG&E has got to get on with it. "... There is a major infrastructure investment that is going to have to be made."
Garamendi said he would address the San Bruno explosion during a congressional hearing today that was scheduled to examine pipeline safety after a July spill from a pipeline that polluted the Kalamazoo River in Michigan with as much as 1 million gallons of crude oil.
Late Monday, California's top utility regulator ordered PG&E to conduct an expedited inspection of its pipelines and to reduce by 20 percent the pressure of gas in Line 132, which included the segment that exploded in San Bruno, among other measures.

Bradenton man fatally shot by accident
Published: Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 10:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 10:12 a.m.
BRADENTON - A 22-year-old man died in an apparent accidental shooting by his roommate Saturday night.
Shortly after 8:30 p.m., Kyle A Guessford, 21, reportedly left his bedroom carrying a newly purchased pistol. As he entered the living room of the apartment in the 2700 block of 50th Avenue West and switched on a weapon-mounted flashlight, the gun discharged, Manatee County sheriff's deputies reported.
A projectile struck Guessford's roommate, Austin Brunson, in the head. Paramedics pronounced Brunson dead at the scene.
Although two visitors were also present, deputies said "no fighting or arguing" occurred and that they are investigating the death as accidental.

Sims Steve Fisher Snowboard
If you're suffering from suicidal freestyle tendencies like Steve Fisher you'll need a board that can handle big pipes, huge quarters and bone crunching landings. Sims sat down with Steve and what they came up with was; a directional twin with basalt glass; carbon stringers; a reduced core profile to cut down weight and increase pop; rubber damped edges to take those nasty vibrations out of your riding and increase durability. Steve Fisher designed his pro model to have a thinner core profile and a great carbon layup mixed with tri-axial glass which makes it lightweight and very responsive while giving it great pop.Read More
