A 34-year-old man is behind bars for sexually assaulting a young child.
Aiken County investigators tell us it happened over a three year span, starting when the girl was only three years old.
McCormick is a quiet sleepy little town, awakened by some very disturbing charges.
34-year-old Tracey Searles is charged with six counts of first degree criminal sexual conduct and three counts of lewd acts on a minor.
Neighbors are shocked.
"An innocent child? No, that's not right. He needs to do some serious time."
"I think it's appalling. You hear more and more of it."
One grandfather of four says he can't even imagine it. "If he's guilty, they should never let him out."
Toros Kennedy is the suspect's brother-in-law, and he says they should do just that.
"He ain't that type of person," Kennedy says. "He loved his kids. He would do nothing like that."
Kennedy went as far as saying he'd still trust him with his own two-year-old son, with or without the charges.
"Of course!" he says. "Yeah!"
Tracey's sister Watonya shakes her head in disbelief. She says her brother has lived in McCormick with his mother for the past three years.
Investigators say the alleged assaults occurred between August 2000 and November 2003 in the bedroom of an Aiken home.
"They're already charging him like he already guilty...and there's no ifs and buts about it. It's so unfair," Watonya says.
Tracey Searles was arrested Thursday afternoon.
He's being held at the Aiken County Detention Center.

After wikileaks published the diplomatic dispatches, Politicians and political commentators around the world and from all parts of the political spectrum unsurprisingly use wikileaks to profile themselves for their voters and to get attention. Some reactions are quite shocking to some people not used to American politics. Some public voices call for assassination of Julian Assange, the founder and spokesperson of wikileaks.
Image credit: Robbespierre, released under CC-BY-3.0. Found on wikimedia commons.
Recently, Sara Palin wrote on facebook:
Assange is not a "journalist," any more than the "editor" of al Qaeda's new English-language magazine Inspire is a "journalist." He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands. His past posting of classified documents revealed the identity of more than 100 Afghan sources to the Taliban. Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders?
Julian Assange is a highly controversial person. Vladimir Putin suggested he should be awarded the Nobel peace prize and Assange is leading in opinion polls for the Time person of the year 2010. Currently he is wanted in Sweden for questioning in relation to charges of rape, sexual coercion, and sexual molestation.
Search for "kill assange" on a search engine and you'll find thousands of people advocating black-ops operations or death penalty for assange, among other things to make an example of him and discourage other people to speak out or publish documents critical of the United States.
Sara Palin is not the only public person who uses strong expressions. I compiled some soundbites from U.S. politicians and political commentators that I found on youtube (The Young Turks and Fox Channel). I concentrated on reactions of politicians on wikileaks and assange and leave out demands for capital punishment of Mannings, a former intelligence analyst, who allegedly leaked the documents.
Surprisingly to me, incitement is not illegal in the United States. In turn, laws concerning hate speech outside of obscenity, defamation and incitement to riot are illegal in the United States, because they would violate rights guaranteed in the First Amendment of the Constitution, the same amendment that gives freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Instances of incitement qualify as criminal only if the threat of violence is imminent. This is different from other countries, say Germany, where there are restrictions on free speech; "Sedition" (incitement of hatred against parts of the population) is illegal in Germany.
I came across an article on TechCrunch asking "Why Is America So Furious About Wikileaks?" which I found had an interesting thought. It called these violent reactions to wikileaks or Assange stupid and then went on
The American diplomatic corps actually comes across as smart and competent in the Wikileaked cables. Unfortunately, the politicians they report to seem anything but. The scariest truth that Wikileaks has confirmed is that most of the world's decisionmakers, like most Wall Street 'wizards', are petty, bureaucratic, dogmatic, myopic, and hostile to any innovation, largely because they're not very intelligent. Not that smarts are everything, but it's hard to tackle complex problems when you don't fully understand them. It's easy to forget this in the tech world, which is (relatively speaking) a results-oriented meritocracy... until you step into most governments or megacorporations, and find that suddenly the ambient IQ has dropped 20 points.
In a Huffington Post article, Ron Paul Defends WikiLeaks On House Floor, I found an extract from a speech by Ron Paul, which I want to contrast with above comments.
WikiLeaks release of classified information has generated a lot of attention in the past few weeks. The hysterical reaction makes one wonder if this is not an example of killing the messenger for the bad news. Despite what is claimed, the information that has been so far released, though classified, has caused no known harm to any individual, but it has caused plenty of embarrassment to our government. Losing our grip on our empire is not welcomed by the neoconservatives in charge.
There is now more information confirming that Saudi Arabia is a principal supporter and financier of al Qaeda, and that this should set off alarm bells since we guarantee its Sharia-run government. This emphasizes even more the fact that no al Qaeda existed in Iraq before 9/11, and yet we went to war against Iraq based on the lie that it did. It has been charged by experts that Julian Assange, the internet publisher of this information, has committed a heinous crime, deserving prosecution for treason and execution, or even assassination.
But should we not at least ask how the U.S. government should prosecute an Australian citizen for treason for publishing U.S. secret information that he did not steal? And if WikiLeaks is to be prosecuted for publishing classified documents, why shouldn't the Washington Post, the New York Times, and others also published these documents be prosecuted? Actually, some in Congress are threatening this as well.
What is your opinion? Is Assange a traitor to the United States as some of the above claim? Does he overstep the freedom of free speech? Do the political commentators go to far? Should Assange be prosecuted?
Update: An earlier version of this post said he was wanted for alleged rape and molestation, however it is more accurate to say that he is wanted for questioning.

Product Description
What is Button Men? Only the most exciting, strategic, and unclassifiable game of 1999. It won two Origins Awards, including Best Abstract Board Game and Best Graphic Presentation of a Board Game of 1999. And it's spawned a dozen expansions with more than 150 characters.
Basically, both players have a fighter who's represented by a button. That fighter is represented by five polyhedral dice. The two players take turns rolling dice and capturing each other's dice, and whoever captures the most points wins.
Sound simple? Yes, it is. But the strategy is deep. Button Men has its own fan site, at www.beatpeopleup.com. You can zip over there to check out the rules, the variants, and plenty of strategy hints. And you can get the skinny on all the weird Button Men in the world, including characters from outside Cheapass Games.

Gorgeous, spacious three-bedroom homes in the $300,000-range. Quiet streets where kids could safely ride their bicycles. Not way out in the boonies, but in Oakland -- just a few minutes from BART, the Coliseum and the airport.
Arcadia Park, a planned development built by Pulte Homes in 2010, seemed like a dream come true for working people who didn't earn six-figure salaries and were priced out of most Oakland neighborhoods. There was just one catch: It was in Deep East Oakland, a high-crime area designated by Oakland police as a "hot spot" and Border Brothers gang territory.
Yet at those affordable prices, coupled with incentives from the builder, some people of a more adventurous nature were willing to be urban pioneers. Sure, there was the adage about housing prices being all about location and that you get what you pay for. But after decades of neglect, revitalization was slowly beginning in Deep East Oakland. New buildings were going up, and businesses were opening. The area was finally on target to get a grocery store at the long-dead Foothill Square mall on MacArthur Boulevard. There was heady talk of a "Coliseum City," a sports-and-entertainment complex that would transform the Coliseum corridor and make it a destination, rather than a place to flee as soon as your concert or sporting event was over.
Yet today, Arcadia Park is plagued by high crime, leaving some to have serious second thoughts about their investment.
One resident has been killed, others have been robbed, and burglaries are out of control.
Qing Jun Sun, 56, worked two jobs, as a bus driver at Stanford University and as an acupuncturist, to afford his mortgage. He was shot and killed in December in front of his home. He had just opened his garage to take his bull mastiff out for a walk.
A neighbor heard the shots and ran over to administer CPR, but Sun's injuries proved fatal. His wife of 35 years returned to China. One of his children who owned another home in the community also moved away.
That horrible episode seemed to open the floodgates. A landscaper planting in a neighbor's yard was robbed at gunpoint.
A nurse returned home from work at 2 a.m. to find an intruder on her patio who had smashed the window. When she turned on the lights, he was looking back at her. She called 911, and the police came because it was a burglary in progress.
The police told her to get a gun for protection since she lives alone and works the night shift.
More than two dozen burglaries have taken place in the past three months. Four doors were kicked in during one week.
Residents have taken to installing video cameras outside their homes. The cameras have recorded several burglars. Copies of the footage of suspects are posted on poles in the neighborhood to warn others and shared on the residents' Google Group.
Some residents have begun surveilling their property before they park, looking for suspicious individuals up to no good. Yet sometimes on their patrols, they inadvertently wind up tailing one of their neighbors doing the same thing.
That might be comical if it weren't such a sad reflection of the times we are living in -- not just in Arcadia Park.
On Thursday, the Arcadia Park homeowners association board voted to assess a one-time dues increase over the next two months to install security cameras and hire patrols. Homeowners also will vote on whether to permanently increase their monthly dues to pay for ongoing monitoring of cameras and security patrols.
For some time, residents also have been trying unsuccessfully to get a security gate installed on Ellington, a street at the western end of the community that is a magnet for illegal dumping and prostitution.
A college professor, who asked not to be identified, said that she and her husband moved to the development because they wanted to be part of the change occurring in Deep East Oakland. Now, she feels like she's living in Fort Knox with all of the precautions the couple has been forced to take to try to secure their home. She feels conflicted. She is anxious about the crime. But she loves her close-knit community, a mixture of mostly African-American and Asian families. She says she wants "to fight for this place."
"Arcadia Park is a test community for Oakland," she said. "Do we want to watch it be destroyed, or do we want to hold it up as a model for what is possible in this city?"

OK for the money
Reviewed by Tom Edwards. Review Posted 13/05/2014
- Robust power button at the top of the case.
- Lots of room for airflow and lots of vents.
- Rubber HDD mounts and two reasonably quiet fans.
- Not a huge amount of money.
- SSD mount is an afterthought and useless unless you have "flat" cables for both data and power. I only have 90 degree SATA power cables and so ended up mounting my SSD in one of the 5.2 inch drive bays. Not good.
- It's far too difficult to take off the front cover, and when you do manage it's still awkwardly attached to the case with two wires.
- Having headphone etc. connections above optical disc drives was a bad move: cables droop down get in the way of the tray opening.
- Front panel is coated with soft plastic that I tore with my (blunt) thumbnail during installation.
- Overall
- Ease of use
- Value for money

Could a new state law put a damper on the dream? It's a simple enough idea: if you go to the polls in Georgia you need a proper ID to cast your ballot. But that idea is creating a political firestorm. People opposed to it say it unfairly targets minorities. News 12 has the latest on one group that hopes a local protest will send a message to Atlanta.
NAACP leaders want to lend their voices to what they hope will become a statewide protest.
"The constitution says everyone is entitled to vote," said Lowell Greenbaum, Democratic Party Chairman.
And thirty-one years after those rights were guaranteed, NAACP leaders now believe a new bill in Georgia's legislature is challenging that right. Now they're fighting back.
"The Georgia NAACP stand in Augusta today to say to Georgia and to all of those who would pass this bill that we are prepared to use all of our resources available," said Edward Dubose, NAACP President.
The issue is the voter ID bill, something republicans hope will prevent voter fraud. Opponents, most democrats, say it only suppresses the right to vote.
"The NAACP is asking the governor and those that chose to push this bill through, we believe this bill is discriminatory, unnecessarily burdensome, unconstitutional and downright wrong," Dubose said.
The hotly contested measure was passed by senate lawmakers last year and then struck down by a federal court after it was considered an unconstitutional poll tax. Critics call it racist because it discriminates against the poor who can't afford a proper ID. The latest bill provides free ID's for everyone, but these leaders point out another problem.
"The key concern is what have you done to address absentee ballots which goes in without ID? When predominantly African Americans go to the polls, what's the message?" Dubose said.
"To our friends in the general assembly, I offer this bit of advice, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging," said Congressman John Barrow, Representative of the 12th district.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (NCBWA) – Texas A&M – Corpus Christi closer Jacob Dorris has been named to the Mid-Season Stopper of the Year Watch List, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Dorris, a sophomore from Weatherford, has been a key component to the Islanders ascension to the top of the Southland Conference standings, with the reliever earning a Southland Conference-best eight saves so far in 2013. His eight saves have already matched the single-season record for an Islanders pitcher in program history.
With the team in second place of the Southland Conference standings, Dorris will likely be tasked with continuing his dominant ways on the mound in league play. He has 24 strikeouts against just six walks in 17.1 innings to go along with a 3.63 ERA and a 1-1 record. He has a team-high 18 appearances, and has allowed just seven runs during the year.
Dorris is one of 51 players in the nation to be named to the list, and is one of just two in the Southland Conference along with Southeastern Louisiana's Dylan Hills. The two teams will continue their fight to get to the top of the Southland Conference standings this weekend when they square off in Hammond, La. on the Lions' campus.
Nominations for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award were made by baseball sports information/media relations contacts. At the conclusion of the regular season, the Division I national saves leader and four other relief pitching standouts will be selected as finalists and released Wednesday, June 5, prior to start of NCAA Super Regional tournament competition.
The NCBWA's All-America Committee will select the winner, with this year's recipient to be announced during the 2013 College World Series.

When she retired as Washington County Common Pleas Court judge, Susan Boyer had two goals in mind.
First, she wanted time to visit relatives who live in the area.
Second, she wanted to devote more time to community arts and theater and she has met that goal. In fact, she has been heavily involved with the Mid-Ohio Valley Players Theatre since about 1993, doing everything from directing, working the lights, painting, building sets and even working with the MOVP Junior Players.
Article Photos
Susan Boyer stands at the entrance of the Mid-Ohio Valley Players Theatre, where she spends many hours per week volunteering in a variety of roles — lighting, set-building, painting, directing, costuming, acting and work with the MOVP Junior Players.
"I started with running the lights," Boyer said. "From there, I began to build sets and do whatever needed to be done for the adult productions and the youth theater productions."
Boyer wrote the version of "A Christmas Carol," used by the Junior Players. She is heavily involved as a director and assistant director. She and two co-directors, J.R. Wells and Carla Nichols, have worked on youth productions for about five years.
For the Junior Players, "she's a positive role model," Wells said. "She shows them a way you work together and cooperate, knowing everyone has a difficult time, but you can work together and produce an amazing show."
Fact Box
Susan Boyer
Age: 64.
Family: Widowed with three stepchildren and two stepgrandchildren.
Education: Graduated from Akron University Law School, 1973.
Work experience: Three years with the Summit County Prosecutor's Office as assistant prosecutor; practiced law in Marietta since 1980; appointed Washington County Common Pleas judge in 1986. Retired in 2012.
Wells, 45, of Lewisville, coordinator of gifted services for the Switzerland of Ohio Local school district in Monroe County, has worked on about six youth productions and three adult productions in the seven years since they started working together.
Boyer said, for this year, the Junior Players will stage a production of "The Hobbit." They did the same production about a decade ago. Boyer is sewing all the capes needed for that production. The plan is to bring "A Christmas Carol" back in 2014.
For the production of "Little Women" in 2013, "I made the costumes - 23 skirts and I don't know how many tops," Boyer said.
She said she tries to use the costumes already stored in the theater whenever possible, she said.
Her favorite role was a 94-year-old woman in the play, "Grace and Glory," and the challenge was that it was a two-person show.
"It was very terrifying with only one other person to help," Boyer said. "If you both forget where you are, there's nobody else to help."
MOVP colleague and show director Jena Lane Blair said she marvels at the patience Boyer has with the youth theater because not everybody can have the patience to work with teenagers as she does.
"Susan has been a wonderful asset to the theater," Blair said. "She has done so many things. Her work with the youth theater has been a devotion of hers for many years."
Blair, who has been with the theater for 44 years, said if someone did not support her when she started, as Boyer does with the youth theater, she might not be involved today.
While she enjoys all the work she does at the MOVP Theatre, Boyer warns that working with in the arts is quite time-consuming, with all the casting, rehearsals, set building and painting and technical works, such as lighting. The players spend four nights per week in rehearsals and building sets on weekends.
"You have to pace yourself or you get tired and cranky," she said. "That's not good when you're directing teenagers."
Wells said Boyer is a hard-working, well-rounded individual who can direct, act and supervise set construction.
"If I am the director, she has been one of my actors, and she builds sets," Wells said. "If I need help, Susan is always there to help."
The most difficult part of her work in the theater is casting, Boyer said.
"It's very difficult if you know you are going to disappoint some people," she said. "That's hard to do."

Race Issue Raised in the Fight for
Suffrage in Arkansas
Special to The New York Times.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 19.- Agita-
tion for women suffrage in this State has
brought forth a new phase of that prob-
lem- the race issue. Those who are seek-
ing the influence of woment for an amend-
ment to the State Constitution to provide
for the extension of the ballot have been
met with arguments that such a measure
would again bring to the front the negro
question. Prominent women and men
high in politics are therefore exerting
pressure to balk the suffragists.
An instance of the feeling was given at
a recent meeting of a district federation
fo women's clubs at Augusta. Members
of the club which was entertaining the
convention arranged a table covered with
suffragist literature and a group of pic-
tures of leaders in the movement. Other
members, however, insisted on the re-
moval of the pictures and literature, de-
claring that they did not intend to have
the negro women of the country placed
on an equality with them, politically or
otherwise. When a set of resolutions
was brought forward in the convention
declaring for woman suffrage twenty
delegates refused to vote, and of the nine
who did vote four were agains the
In consequence of this feeling the pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution, for
which petitions are being circulated, has
been so worded as to bring the negro
women under the same conditions as the
negro men, most of whom are barred
by the "grandfather clause." It reads:
"Female persons shall have the same
right to vote as male persons now have or
shall hereafter have under the Constitu-
tion and laws of this State."
It is proposed to put this amendment
before the voters of the State at the com-
ing election by the use of initiative. Peti-
tions are being circulated among voters
by the leaders of the agitation, and they
hope to have 12,800 signatures by May
8, when the time for filing will expire.

The Defendants' case as to the scale on which Jews were gassed to death at camps excluding Auschwitz and the extent, if any, of Hitler's knowledge of and complicity in the killing.
6.73 The Defendants accept that initially Hitler's attitude towards the problem of finding a solution to the problem of the Jewish "bacillus" was that the Jews should be deported from the Reich. They contend, however, that there is circumstantial and documentary evidence that, from about the autumn of 1941, this policy was reversed and that, with the knowledge of Hitler and at his instigation, the policy was adopted of deporting Jews en masse from Europe and killing them in death camps on the eastern borders of the Reich. It was the contention of Longerich that, as the killings of Soviet Jews by shooting spread in the period from autumn 1941 to spring 1942 from the Soviet union to other regions, in particular to the Warthegau, Lublin, Riga, Minsk and Serbia, so in these same areas plans were made for the construction of gas killing facilities. In so far as it related to the area of the General Government this operation was code-named Operation Reinhard.
6.74 There is little mention of Operation Reinhard or Aktion Reinhard in the surviving contemporaneous documents. Browning referred in his report to a document dated 18 July 1942 mentioning "Einsatz Reinhard". There are several other documents marked "AR". According to the Defendants little documentary evidence survives because the records relating to it were ordered to be destroyed in January 1944. Nonetheless, say the Defendants, the evidence does establish that deportation of European Jews to ghettoes and thence to camps at Chelmno, Semlin, Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka took place on a massive scale. The Defendants contend that the assignment to construct the death camp at Belzec was entrusted by Himmler to Globocnik at a meeting between them on 13 October 1941. Although the document recording the proposal for their meeting referred to taking "security-political steps" against the Jews and to "limiting their influence", Longerich contended that it is legitimate to infer that the plan to build the Belzec death camp originated at this meeting. Globocnik was looking for more radical solutions for the Jewish question and the building work started at Belzec started soon afterwards.
6.75 A start was made on the construction of Belzec in October 1941. Another huge complex of gas chambers was planned (but not proceeded with) at Mogilev. Similar facilities were commissioned at Chelmno, Sobibor and Treblinka. Browning testified that the use of the gas vans at camps, starting at Chelmno and Semlin, was an intermediate phase, coming between the shootings by the Einsatzgruppen and the use of primitive gas chambers at those camps and elsewhere. The custom-built gas chambers at Auschwitz came later. On arrival at the camps the great majority of these Jews were killed in gas chambers or by other means. Of these camps Chelmno was situated to the north-west of Lublin; Semlin was outside Belgrade; Belzec and Sobibor were in what was then south-eastern Poland not far from Lublin and Treblinka is north-east of Warsaw close to the frontier at that time with Russia. Longerich testified that it might in broad terms be said that the policy of exterminating the Jews evolved out of the policy of deporting them. Indeed it is, he claimed, impossible to draw a demarcation line between the two policies. The Nazis were well aware that the policy of deportation to the East resulted in the death from starvation or disease of many of those who were deported. Longerich termed this Vernichtung durch Arbeit (annihilation through work). There was some debate whether that term had been used at the time. But in the end it was common ground that it mattered little whether such a label was used. Longerich was clear in his opinion that such a policy as effectively equivalent to a policy of outright killing.
6.76 Other aspects of Operation Reinhard were the collection and use of materials belonging to the Jews (watches and the like) and the selective use of Jewish labour. It was an SS operation under the direction of Globocnik, who was answerable to Kruger, chief of police in the General Government, who in turn was answerable to Himmler. According to Browning, there is evidence that Globocnik on occasion dealt directly with Himmler.
6.77 Longerich contended that it appeared from the evidence that the Jews who were sent to the death camps were in the first instance local Jews from local villages and ghettos in the region. This phase commenced at Chelmno on 8 December 1941, from which date about 140,000 Jews from the Warthegau were gassed there. The same occurred at Belzec (where the gassing, mainly of Jews from the area of Lublin, started in March 1942), Sobibor (where gassing started in May 1942) and Treblinka (where the gassing started in July 1942). The extermination of these local Jews made way in the ghettos for the European Jews to replace them.
6.78 Gassing commenced at Auschwitz between September and December 1941, when 600 Soviet prisoners of war were killed by the administration probably by means of bottles of Zyklon-B gas in the basement of Block II. Irving, by reference to a passage from a book by van Pelt referring to the death of Soviet Jews because the lack of hygiene at the camp, suggested that the deaths were not due to poisoning by gas.
6.79 At the same time as the local Jews were being put to death in these camps, the programme of deporting German Jews (that is, Jews from those parts of Europe in Nazi control) to the East was being implemented. These Jews (or those of them who were judged unfit for labour) were initially sent to ghettos but they were ultimately transported onwards to the camps where they were killed in the gas chambers, principally at Belzec. The liquidation of the German Jews ran from the spring of 1942 onwards. This was the second phase of the extermination programme. It was, said Longerich, a systematic programme of extermination, albeit one that gradually emerged.
6.80 What is the evidence for mass extermination of Jews at those camps? The consequence of the absence of any overt documentary evidence of gas chambers at these camps, coupled with the lack of archeological evidence, means that reliance has to be placed on eye witness and circumstantial evidence, which I shall shortly summarise. In giving an account of the Defendants' case as to the scale of the exterminations, I shall also summarise their argument that Hitler was complicit in the mass murder. The starting point is the evidence, such as it is, which is contained in contemporaneous documents.
6.81 I have referred at paragraph 6.70 above to the meeting which took place between Hitler and Himmler and Heydrich on 25 October 1941. Although the plan to construct gas chambers at Riga was not implemented, it is further evidence, say the Defendants, of the genesis of a policy, agreed at a high level, to use gas as a method of extermination.
6.82 From about that date, according to the Defendants, Hitler made repeated references to the extermination of the Jews and to doing away with them. On 16 November 1941 Rosenberg met Hitler and Himmler, who the next day (according to his Dienstkalendar) told Heydrich by telephone that he had discussed the Beseitigung (doing away with) of the Jews. Two days later Rosenberg gave a confidential briefing to the press in which he spoke of the biological eradication of the whole of Jewry in Europe. From this date onwards, according to the Defendants, Hitler's pronouncements on the Jewish question, become more frequent and increasingly blunt.
6.83 The Defendants attach significance to Hitler's speech to the Gauleiter on 12 December 1941 (already referred to in section V) when, according to Goebbels's diary, he said:According to Browning, this speech stemmed from the recognition that an early end to war was no longer on the cards. It made clear that the Nazis would nonetheless proceed with the extermination of Jews generally and not just the Jews in the occupied eastern regions.
"... Concerning the Jewish question the Fuhrer is determined to make a clean sweep. He prophesied that, if they were once again to cause a world war, the result would be their own destruction. That was no figure of speech. The world war is here, the destruction (Vernichtung) of the Jews must be the inevitable consequence. The question must be seen without sentimentality. We are not here in order to have sympathy with the Jews, rather we sympathise with our own German people. If the German people have now once again sacrificed as many as 160,000 dead in the Eastern campaign, then the authors of this bloody conflict must pay with their lives".
6.84 As already stated in section V above, Hans Frank, General Governor of the General Government, attended the meeting on 12 December 1941 (and, according to Browning, may well have had a meeting with Hitler). Four days later he passed on what he had learned in Berlin to his subordinates, telling them what Hitler had said and adding:The Defendants rely on what Frank said as further evidence of the emerging policy of destroying the Jews by killing them.
"But what is to happen to the Jews? Do you believe that they will be lodged in the settlements in the Ostland? In Berlin we were told: why all this trouble, we cannot use them in the Ostland or the Reichskommissariat either; liquidate them yourselves! Gentlemen, I must ask you: arm yourselves against any thoughts of compassion. We must destroy the Jews, wherever we encounter them and wherever it is possible, in order to preserve the entire structure of the Reich ... [for the omitted words see below] ...nonetheless we will take some kind of action that will lead to a successful destruction, and indeed in conjunction with the important measures to be discussed in the Reich".
6.85 As noted above, on 18 December 1941 Himmler met Hitler, who, according to Himmler's note, agreed that the Jews were to be annihilated as if partisans. The Defendants accept that Hitler expressed that sentiment in the context of the programme of shooting Jews in the East, but it is, according to them, indicative of his murderous intentions towards the Jews at this time. In January 1942 Hitler again confirmed in his New Year's address that it would be the Jews rather than the Aryan peoples of Europe would be ausgerottet (exterminated). He spoke in similar terms at the Reichstag on 30 January 1942 and thereafter on 14, 22 and 24 February 1942..
6.86 As Frank had told his audience it would be, a meeting was convened in Berlin and took place in Berlin on 20 January 1942 under the chairmanship of Heydrich. It is known as the Wannsee conference. The invitations to the conference were accompanied by an authorisation, signed by Goering, to prepare a European-wide Final Solution to the Jewish problem. State Secretaries, ranking just below Cabinet ministers, attended, as did amongst others Muller, Hofmann and Eichmann. According to the Defendants, it marks an important milestone in the evolution of the policy of extermination. Irving totally rejected the significance which the Defendants attach to this conference.
6.87 Heydrich told those present:Longerich noted the reference made by Heydrich to the approval of the Fuhrer. He asserted that "to be dealt with accordingly" is a typical SS expression for liquidation. So the Jews who survived the labour regime (if any did) were to be liquidated. Moreover the Defendants draw attention to what they regard as a notable and sinister omission from those words: what was to happen to those Jews who were already unable to work (as most were)? The answer, according to the Defendants, is that, having been judged unfit for work, they were condemned to be killed. The Defendants give, as a further reason for saying that Wannsee had the significance for which they contend, the fact that shortly after Wannsee the construction of the death camps at Sobibor and Treblinka started and gas chambers were built at Auschwitz. The enormous task of killing the Jews then began in earnest, say the Defendants.
The Defendants' case is that Wannsee was what Browning described as an "implementation conference" at which the participants were concerned to set up a ministerial bureaucracy, under the leadership of Heydrich, for the extermination of the Jews. It was not a theoretical discussion.
"A further possible solution [of the Jewish question] instead of emigration has come up. After appropriate approval by the Fuhrer, the evacuation of the Jews to the East has stepped into its place. These actions, however, must be regarded as only as an alternative solution. But already the practical experience (praktischen Ehrfahrungen) is being gathered which is of great importance to the coming Final Solution of the Jewish question. Under the appropriate direction the Jews shall now be put to work in the course of the Final Solution. Organised into large work gangs and segregated according to sex, those Jews fit for work will be led into these areas as road builders, whereby no doubt a large part will fall out by natural elimination. The remainder who will survive - and they will certainly be those who have the greatest power of endurance - will have to be dealt with accordingly. For, if released, they would, according to the natural selection of the fittest, form the seed of a new Jewish regeneration".
The Defendants' case is that Wannsee was what Browning described as an "implementation conference" at which the participants were concerned to set up a ministerial bureaucracy, under the leadership of Heydrich, for the extermination of the Jews. It was not a theoretical discussion.
6.88 It is the Defendants' case that the scale of the gassing programme escalated in March 1942. On 3 March 1942 the Prime Minister of Slovakia announced that agreement had been reached with the Nazis for the deportation to Auschwitz of the 70,000 remaining Slovakian Jews.
6.89 Himmler's Dienstkalendar reveals that, following dinner with Hitler on 10 March 1942, Himmler spoke by telephone to Heydrich on 11 March when they discussed the Judenfrage (Jewish question). On 13 March Himmler travelled to Cracow (where he met Frank and Kruger) and thence on 14 March to Lublin (where he met Kruger and Globocnik). On his return to Berlin, Himmler on 17 March had lunch and dinner with Hitler at the Wolfschanze (Wolf's Lair). Goebbels's diary entry for 20 March records that on the previous day Hitler had displayed a merciless attitude towards the Jews and had stated that the Jews must be got out of Europe, if necessary by the most brutal means.
6.90 Browning referred to evidence that in mid-March 1942 it was agreed that deported Jews arriving at Lublin should be divided into those capable of work and those not so capable. The latter were to be sent to Belzec, where gassing commenced on 17 March. Large-scale gassing continued at Belzec in the following months. In the same month construction of Sobibor began and bunker 1 at Auschwitz started operation as a gas chamber. Gassing had started at Sobibor by May 1942. Construction of the death camp at Treblikna commenced at about this time. In the first six months of 1942 some 10,000 Jews had been gassed at Chelmno. Vast numbers of Jews in the General Government and in the Warthegau were, according to the Defendants, killed by the use of gas.
6.91 The Defendants also rely on a letter dated 11 April 1942 which Dr Turner, whose rank was equivalent to that of a Privy Councillor, wrote from Serbia to Karl Wolff, Himmler's adjutant and sometime liaison officer to Hitler. The letter was marked "AR" for Action Reinhard. It referred in rather unsubtle code to the use of gassing trucks at Semlin on a scale which Irving agreed could not be described as limited or experimental. Irving conceded that the document is a sinister one.
6.92 On 1 May 1942 Greiser wrote to Himmler, following a meeting with Globocnik in May 1942, that "the special treatment" (Sonderbehandlung) of around 100,000 Jews in his district, which had been authorised by Himmler in agreement with Heydrich, could be completed in the next 2-3 months. Irving accepted that, in the light of what subsequently emerged (although not, he said, on the face of this document) "special treatment" meant killing. He was critical of Longerich for, as he put it, "extrapolating backwards" from what subsequently happened at the camps, that it had throughout been the plan that the killings should occur. Longerich answered this criticism by saying that, in the nature of things, historians must frequently have resort to this method, which is in any event wholly unobjectionable. The document did not spell out where the special treatment was being meted out but in the opinion of Browning it is a reasonable inference that it was at Chelmno, which was operating at the time. Irving makes the point that this letter does not say that it was written on the instructions of the Fuhrer.
6.93 Browning gave evidence that contemporaneous documents show that from the summer of 1942 trainloads of Jews were being transported westwards from the occupied eastern territories to Belzec and to Treblinka. The significance of this westward movement of Jews, according to both Browning and Longerich, is that it demonstrates that the policy was no longer to keep deporting the Jews further and further to the East but rather to exterminate them.
6.94 On 17 and 18 July 1942 Himmler visited Auschwitz. He had met Hitler over a meal on two occasions in the preceding ten days. At Auschwitz he met the Commandant, Hoss. He then travelled to Lublin, where he met Kruger, Globocnik and Pohl. On 19 July Himmler, according to the evidence of Browning who was basing himself on contemporaneous documents, laid down a schedule for the extermination of the entire Jewish population of the General Government by the end of the year (save only for certain Jews employed in ghettos on war work). The Defendants assert that with effect from 22 July 1942 there were massive deportations from Warsaw and northern Lublin district to Treblinka and from Przemsyl to Belzec. On 23 July 1942 gassing started at Treblinka. On 24 and 27 July 1942 Himmler lunched with Hitler. Three days later Himmler wrote to Berger, a senior officer at the SS Headquarters, a letter which on the Defendants' case is highly revealing. He wrote that the occupied Eastern territories were to be free of Jews by the end of the year. Himmler added that the "carrying out of this very hard order had been placed on his shoulders by the Fuhrer". The extermination of Jews on a massive scale in the death camps commenced at this time.
6.95 Browning relied also on the protocol of a meeting in Berlin on September 26-8 1942 as showing that train transports to the death camps had been proposed by Brunner, whose immediate superior was Himmler. Browning pointed out that on 28 July 1942 Ganzenmuller, a senior official in the Ministry of Transport, reported to Wolff, an SS officer who Irving accepted was close to Hitler, that trains were regularly transporting Jews in large numbers to both Treblinka and Belzec. On 13 August Wolff, writing from Hitler's headquarters, wrote to Ganzenmuller expressing his joy at the assurance that for the next two weeks there would be a daily train carrying 5,000 of the "chosen people" to Treblinka.
6.96 The Defendants rely in addition on what they claim to be an explicit mention of the policy of extermination which is contained in the so-called Kinna report, written by an SS corporal dated 16 December 1942 from Zamosk in Poland about the transport of 644 Poles to Auschwitz. This report records SS Hauptsturmfuhrer Aumeier as having explained that only Poles fit for labour should be delivered to Auschwitz and that, in order to relieve the camp, "limited people, idiots, cripples and sick people must be removed from the same by liquidation". The report continues that "in contrast to the measures applied to the Jews, the Poles must die a natural death". This, say the Defendants, points unequivocally to a policy of exterminating the Jews being in place at Auschwitz and inferentially elsewhere.
6.97 Apart from these sparse documentary references, the Defendants rely upon what might be described as circumstantial evidence that extermination on a massive scale took place. In relation to the fact and scale of the extermination, they commend as accurate the figures given in the report of Dr Korherr, who was the statistician working for Himmler. He gave as the number of those deported from the Warthegau for Sonderbehandlung (special treatment) a total of 1,419,467.
6.98 Browning advanced what is in effect a demographic argument in support of the Defendants' contention that Jews were exterminated in the gas chambers at the death camps in vast numbers. He calculated the approximate number who were deported from western European countries and removed from the ghettos of Poland; he asserted that contemporanous evidence proves that many of them were transported to Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka; since they were never heard of again, Browning considers it reasonable to infer that they were put to death in the camps. It is the Defendants' case that between 750,000 and 950,000 Jews were killed by gas at Treblinka; 550,000 at Belzec; 200,000 at Sobibor and 150-200,000 at Chelmno. Those were the estimates based on expert German witnesses and accepted in the German criminal prosecutions in the 1960s.
6.99 Longerich supported Browning's estimate for the number killed at Belzec. Basing himself on the evidence given at the trial of those involved in the camp, he put the figure at between 500,000 and 600,000. He agreed that estimates given by the historian, Michael Tregenza, were unreliable but said that he had not relied on him in that connection. Longerich testified that Belzec was initially employed in gassing Jews from the areas of Lublin and Galicia.
6.100 In addition to the circumstantial evidence, the Defendants rely on the evidence of eye-witnesses in support of their case that gas chambers were used at Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka to kill hundreds of thousands of Jews. Browning divided these witnesses into five categories: (i) German visitors to these camps; (ii) German personnel stationed there; (iii) Ukrainian guards assigned to the camps; (iv) Poles living in the vicinity of the camps and (v) Jews who escaped. In view of the position adopted by Irving on the question of gassing at these camps (to which I shall refer in due course), it is unnecessary for me to set out at length who all of these witnesses were or what they were able to describe. According to Browning, there are over one hundred of them.
6.101 Within category (i) comes Eichmann, who is regarded by Browning as being in general a credible witness. His testimony takes various forms: an interview with a journalist in South America before his apprehension; memoirs and evidence at his trial. (During the course of the present trial evidence was released by the Israeli government of what Eichmann said under interrrogation by Israeli prosecutors. Since, however, this evidence was not available to Irving at any material time, no reliance was placed on it by the Defendants in support of their plea of justification). Eichmann stated that he was sent by Heydrich to discuss with Globocnik the implementation of what he was told was Hitler's order to kill the Jews. In the autumn of 1941 he was shown a building under construction at Belzec, which he was told would be used as a gas chamber to kill Jews with carbon monoxide gas. The following summer he saw Jews about to enter the gas chamber at Treblinka. He also witnessed the gassing of Jews at Chelmno.
6.102 Another German visitor was Kurt Gerstein. He described how he was deputed to take 100 kilos of prussic acid to Lublin in August 1942. Accompanied by a chemistry professor named Pfannenstiel, he travelled to Belzec where he claimed that he witnessed about 750 Jews being driven naked into four gas chambers. After a delay because the motor would not start, the Jews were gassed. The process took 32 minutes. The bodies were then thrown into trenches. The next day Gerstein went to Treblinka, where he saw mounds of clothing. On his return to Berlin, he told a Swedish diplomat what he had seen. His account was written in about April 1945. He died shortly afterwards. Browning accepted that many aspects of Gerstein's testimony are problematic and that he was prone to exaggeration but concluded that on vital matters of which he was able to speak from his own knowledge he is reliable. His evidence is largely corroborated by that of Pfannenstiel.
6.103 Category (ii) consists of twenty-nine German camp officials all of whom confirm that the camps were equipped with gas chambers in which thousands of Jews were put to death. This category includes witnesses who provided signed and sworn statements, which gave detailed and gruesome evidence of the procedures followed at each of the camps in administering the gas and disposing of the corpses afterwards. Category (iii) included the Poles who lived in the neighbourhood of the camps and so witnessed the endless flow of transports to the camps, smelled the deathly smells from the camps and heard rumours what was going on there. Category (iv) consisted of those Jews who were able to make their escape. There were breakouts from Sobibor and Treblika. Some of the fifty survivors of these camps gave evidence of their experiences. In relation to Belzec, a Jew named Reder provided a detailed of the gas chambers, even though it did not in all respects accord with other testimony.
6.104 Finally the Defendants rely in support of their case that Hitler knew of the Holocaust upon a letter written in 1977 to a journalist named Gita Sereny by Christa Schroeder, formerly personal secretary to Hitler and, say the Defendants, well placed to know the state of his knowledge. Frau Schroeder wrote:
"As far as the Judenfrage, I consider it improbably that Hitler knew nothing. He had frequent conversations with Himmler which took place tete-a-tete".
What Irving disputed, however, is the Defendants' contention that the extermination of the Jews in the death camps was carried out pursuant to some official Nazi policy sanctioned by Hitler.
6.105 The Defendants, on the basis of the evidence which I have summarised above, contend that from October 1941 Himmler was embarked upon a gigantic homicidal gassing programme, first of the Jews of the Warthegau and Poland and, from late spring 1942, of the Jews from the rest of Europe, at camps specially designed for the purpose. The Defendants accept that there is no explicit evidence that Himmler discussed with Hitler the extermination of the Jews by gassing. But in the light of the evidence recited above, including the scale of the programme; the fact that it was overseen by Himmler; the frequency with which Himmler and Hitler met and spoke together at this time and the evidence of Hitler's thoughts and public statements about the Jews, the Defendants argue it is inconceivable that Hitler did not know and authorise the mass extermination of Jews by gassing.

HALF MOON BAY -- Katrina Starr watched nervously as her husband Thad's giant pumpkin was hoisted onto the scale at the Half Moon Bay weigh-off.
The massive gourd was the last to be weighed. Would it be heavy enough? Had it suffered rot or other disqualifying damage on the bottom since being put in the trailer on Friday? The harness cradling the pumpkin slipped for a moment, making a loud clang. Thad clutched his head in terror.
"It's the worst," Katrina said of the anticipation of Monday morning's official weighing. "Oh my gosh, it's just the worst."
No need to worry. Once safely on the scale, the pale orange, oblong monstrosity registered 1,775 pounds, breaking the California record and giving Thad his third victory at the 39th-annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-off.
The 45-year-old grower from Pleasant Hill, Ore., high-fived his 9-year-old daughter, Danika, who had picked the seed for the pumpkin and planted it in April. Katrina and their 7-year-old son, Derek, joined the celebration.
"It's awesome," said Starr. "It's the best I've ever done. I'm very proud of that."
Party on Main Street
Having won what Starr called the Super Bowl of West Coast pumpkin weigh-offs, it was fitting that the family headed south Monday afternoon for a trip to Disneyland. They'll be back in downtown Half Moon Bay this weekend for the 42nd annual Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival, where the five heaviest gourds from the contest will be displayed.
Starr will take home prize winnings of $10,650 -- $6 per pound -- for the mega-pumpkin. He would have earned a $25,000 bonus had he beaten the world record of 2,009 pounds set in September by a Rhode Island grower.
Steve Daletas, also of Pleasant Hill, gets $2,000 for second place with a 1,521 pounder, and John Hawkley, a Napa grower whose gourd weighed 1,480 pounds, wins $1,500 for third place overall and $1,000 for biggest California pumpkin. Farmer and Half Moon Bay City Councilman John Muller gets $500 for biggest Coastside pumpkin, a 480-pound specimen.
A crowd of roughly 200 people gathered in a parking lot off Main Street to see Monday's contest. Several dozen brightly dressed elementary school children sat on hay bales. The Half Moon Bay High School marching band blasted merry tunes.
But while Starr savored another win, Granite Bay grower Richard Westervelt, 76, endured a bitter disappointment. His 1,621-pound pumpkin, more than 300 pounds heavier than his previous best, was disqualified after contest officials found a tiny, barely perceptible hole on its blossom end that penetrated to the interior of the fruit.
"There's no words to say how I feel, especially it being 1,621 pounds," said Westervelt of the pumpkin, his last of the season. "It's the biggest one I've ever grown."
Late-appearing cracks, holes and rot comprise a grower's worst fear, undoing months of painstaking work. The gigantic fruits grow so fast, putting on 25 pounds a day or more, that it's common for them to burst open. Leonardo Urena, a Napa cultivator who won the 2011 contest in Half Moon Bay, didn't enter this year's competition because all his pumpkins split, said weigh-off spokesman Tim Beeman.
Final tilt
The first key to growing a steroidal pumpkin is the seed. All the top-weighing pumpkins come from a variety known as Atlantic Giant. After that it's a matter of time and money. Top growers spend six hours or more a day in the garden during the summer tending to their patch, experimenting with esoteric methods and materials, and thousands of dollars on fertilizer.
"It's just like any other gardening, just to the extreme," said Starr. "A lot of water and a lot of manure."
There are four Great Pumpkin Commonwealth-sanctioned weigh-offs in California and 94 worldwide, from Germany to New Zealand. On Saturday many of the same growers who entered the Half Moon Bay contest will descend on Uesugi Farms Pumpkin Park in Morgan Hill for the final California tilt of the year. Rules prohibit entering any one pumpkin into more than one contest, so growers will bring other products of the patch.
Ron Root, who won the Half Moon Bay weigh-off in 2010, came in seventh Monday with a 1,415 pounder. But there's a heavier squash waiting in the wings.
"I've still got a big monster for next week," he said.

Which Facial Filler Is Right for You?
Find out by reading this guide to popular non-surgical anti-aging skin treatments like Juvederm, Perlane and more
It works best on: Smile and marionette lines, and pre-jowl sulcus (the areas on each side of the chin) by adding volume back to those spots.
How long it lasts: Radiesse can reportedly last up to a year.
One expert's opinion: Dr. Fields says, "I like Radiesse in the hands [editor's note: fillers are sometimes used in the hands to make them appear less bony, which in turn makes them look more youthful] and it looks great in cheeks." She also affirms, "If someone does not get a good take with a hyaluronic filler, I switch to Radiesse."
Reader review: Total Beauty reader Kat told us on Facebook that she used Juvederm and Radiesse, and had "very positive experiences with [Juvederm], but not Radiesse. "It's too thick," she wrote, "and left knots in my lips."

Highlanders Fall to Calumet College of St. Joseph
November 17, 2013
A strong second half from the Calumet Crimson Wave was too much for the Highlanders to handle. Despite having a 33-29 lead at half time, the Highlanders fell to St. Joseph Calumet with a final score of 59-67.
Senior Brady Slagle came out strong against the Crimson Wave putting up 25 points and had 8 boards on the night. Also putting up double-digits where Dylan Guthrie with 11 points, and Dylan Burton with 10.
The Highlanders defense forced 13 turnovers, and 6 steals on the game.
Highlanders are back in action at home on November 20 at 7:00 pm against Knox College. At this game, representatives of the local chapter of the Marine Corps League will be on hand to collect new, unwrapped toys at the entryway to Bill Wall Gymnasium. Donations will also be accepted during a half-time presentation, when MacMurray College students will be passing collection buckets in the stands.

OK, so the Nets and the Knicks are on TV, to be followed by Bulls-Clippers. Our copy desk now has a serious ACC tint - North Carolina and Maryland - so college basketball is upon us. The college football bowl season is here and the NFL is getting down to crunch time.
So does anyone notice that the NHL has been shooting itself in the foot again?
Of course, the hard-core hockey fans are, but most of the country isn't. (If the NFL hadn't resolved its labor issue during the summer of 2011, this country would have stopped in its tracks.)
Aside from the sheer stupidity of both sides for doing this twice within the span of a decade, the major issue is that hockey is quickly becoming irrelevant. Would anyone notice if the NHL magically got its act together and started a truncated season Jan. 1? (Not that it's going to happen.)
Probably not.
I've been a NHL fan for ages, but it's clear that its owners and players do not care about their fans (and, perhaps, better-phrased, customers). Why should we care, much less buy tickets, the Center Ice package on the dish or team gear when the league gets its act together this winter/ next year/ sometime before 2020?
My bet is that the fiscal cliff gets solved before this NHL lockout. Kids, that makes the NHL and its players more dysfunctional than Congress.
A swing through some other topics:
• The Broncos have won eight straight and Peyton Manning could run for any political office in this state and carry 95 percent on the vote. Before we book the tickets to New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII, please consider the following factors.
The Broncos haven't beaten an elite team this year- they're 0-for-3 against the Texans, Patriots and Falcons. Opportunity No. 4 is this weekend in Baltimore and I'll take the Ravens.
Short of Houston and/or New England tanking the rest of the season, Denver will be at best a No. 3 seed, which means four wins for the title and likely two road games to get to the Super Bowl.
Can Knowshon Moreno hold down the fort at running back? Yes, he ran well against the Raiders - most backs do. Willis McGahee's absence doesn't mean much against the AFC West, but my bet is that the Ravens (and possible playoff opponents) invite Moreno to beat them, while sending the house against Manning.
• Right now, my thought is Packers-Patriots, but this changes from week to week. Yeah, the Steelers are old, but if they get in, do you want to play them? The Ravens do have the makeup of a title team. I keep waiting for the New York Giants to take control. The Falcons?
This is why the NFL is compelling theater.
• Might be heresy as Manning is the Comeback Player of the Year in these parts, but what about Adrian Peterson? He did his ACL on Christmas Eve 2011, less than a year ago and he's on a pace to rush for more than 2,000 yards? It's not like Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder is lighting it up. AP is the Minnesota offense.
• Most of the world has conceded the BCS Championship to Alabama. Notre Dame and the Crimson Tide still have to go through the formality of actually playing the game. Stranger things have happened.
• Great to see Northern Illinois bust the BCS. Go Huskies against Florida State in the Orange Bowl. When the six major conferences actually play teams I've heard of outside of league play, I'll take this system seriously.
• Toledo vs. Utah State in the Idaho Famous Potato Bowl Saturday? Really? I hear Boise is lovely this time of year.
• Moving to skiing, it's a speed weekend for the men in Val Gardena, Italy, and the ladies in Val d'Isere, France. Slovenia's Tina Maze has a 263-point lead over Lindsey Vonn with downhill Friday and super-G Saturday. (By the by, Maria Hoefl-Riesch is second.) Look for Vonn to gain some ground. Despite her poor health in November, she's getting her groove.
And I'm calling Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal for the overall globe right now on the men's side.
• A shoutout to Vail's Heidi Kloser who has her first mogul event of the season Saturday in Finland. And get well soon to Chris Del Bosco. The ski-cross defending world champion is rehabbing his shoulder after an injury in training.
• As the hot stove heats up in baseball, the Dodgers seem to be keeping warm by burning up money. Six years and $147 million for Zach Greinke and $62 million for Hyun-Jin Ryu, not mention the dough they have in Matt Kemp, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Hanley Ramirez and Josh Beckett? (And one has to assume that Los Angeles will be giving Clayton Kershaw a minimum of $150 million soon, and that's a low guess.)
The thing is, though, that money doesn't guarantee titles. It's nice not to be operating as the Pirates, but Yankees have won seven titles in the 35 years since free agency, and only one in the last 13 years.
The Dodgers are looking at $220 million payroll. That'll look sort of bad after finishing in second place in the National League West next year.

I think it would be a good idea to distribute Ps3 media server also as a "portable" application.
Meaning the following:
it would not make any file changes outside it's directory
Would not make any registry changes
Either has a "portable" option in the installer, or is distribute in zip file with no need for installer.
I believe this should not be a problem, as I extracted the application with universal extractor and it ran fine.
Used regfromapp to test whether it made any changes to the registry and it didnt.
I'm not sure whether it wrote any file outside it's directory as I have no way of testing..

It is no secret that much of the world can be found on the internet. For small businesses in St. James, it is important to learn how to transform a brand into more online-friendly services and products.
This is why the EDA, in collaboration with SMIF, arranged for Tami Enfield to speak in the St. James Community Center, Feb. 26.
There were about 18 participants for the class, each paying a nominal fee for the three hour seminar.
During their time with Enfield, business owners learned about using Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin to network and gain followers.
Followers are important for any business because they can be used to spread the word about new ideas and products. "Liking" a local business' page is a simple way for followers to support local business.
One of the most difficult things about social media today is finding your audience. Enfield gave hints and suggestions on how business owners can contact and build relationships with social media users.
In the past, relationships with consumers drove businesses forward, today, much business is done online. In order for local businesses to maintain strong relationships with their consumers, they must understand the importance of social media.
The St. James EDA provides opportunities for small businesses to expand and grow within the community. The EDA collaborated with SMIF to arrange the Enfield seminar.
SMIF is the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation which supports local small businesses and entrepreneurs. They provide early-stage investments traditional loans, micro loans, technical assistance, mentoring and regional leadership opportunities to small businesses in southern Minnesota with more than 450 business being supported and 17,000 hours of technical assistance.

October 6, 2006
More than 100 students left Silver Bluff High School today under increased security.
This time it wasn't even a written threat that caused problems.
The principal says the always popular rumor mill quickly spun out of control, and by the end of school today, one in every five students either had left or not gone to classes at all.
The hallways at Silver Bluff High School were a little less crowded today.
"There's just rumors going around that there is going to be a drive-by shooting...there's supposed to be like ten or so fights today," said student Ryan Randall.
"It's kind of terrifying when you get here and everybody says there is supposed to be a shooting," said student Megan Morris.
But there was no shooting and no fights. In fact, there wasn't even a written threat--just a mysterious picture painted on the sidewalk.
"It is not clear what it is about," said Principal Todd Bornscheuer.
What is clear is the extra security grew out of an argument that started in the cafeteria Thursday morning between two boys over a girl. In the end, seven students were suspended over the incident.
"Overnight rumors spread throughout the community that the students were planning to come back to the school today," said Bornscheuer.
But in light of recent school crimes and threats, parents weren't taking any chances.
"I'd rather him be at home where I know he is safe," said parent Leigh Cousino.
"Just out of a safety precaution I feel more safe with him out of the school until it dies down and they find out exactly what is going on," said parent Cheryl Hilliard.
"She called and didn't feel safe, and if my daughter doesn't feel safe, then I'm not going to leave her here today," said parent Michelle Morris.
Principal Todd Bornscheuer says that in the future, anyone caught spreading rumors they know to be false will be punished.
School administrators hope to have things back to normal next week.
Silver Bluff wasn't the only school with extra eyes on security today.
Hephzibah High School added officers after the school board says they received information that something may happen today.
It didn't, but officers searched the school last night, and locked it down. Then they had the extra security today to make sure all the students were safe.
Kids and teachers were also on alert at Harlem High School today, the latest Columbia County school to deal with a threat. Like the others, it was written in the bathroom.
The principal says the message didn't name a specific target or time, but the school will stay on what they're calling a "soft lockdown" for a couple of days. That means all doors are locked, and traffic is limited.
Lakeside and Evans dealt with more specific threats earlier in the week, and were also put on higher alert.
And these threats were the topic at a meeting for a number of Columbia County leaders this morning. The school board, fire departments, sheriff, and emergency departments were all represented.
The group talked about how to keep things safe, and what to do if something were to happen.
"People should feel good, go about their lives," said emergency director Pam Tucker. "We're working on improving our plans, and we do this all the time."
The meeting today had actually been scheduled a couple of weeks ago, but the threats this week, and violence around the nation led to this.

A cat found near a gas station in Jamestown has tested positive for rabies.
KOVC radio reports that the cat was tested Thursday at the state lab in Bismarck.
Board of Animal Health officials are asking residents for help identifying anyone who may have been exposed to the cat. The adult female cat was an orange and white tabby with long hair.
Pet owners who believe one of their pets may have been exposed to the rabid cat should contact their local veterinarian or the State Veterinarian's Office.
Officials say anyone bitten or exposed to the cat's saliva should contact a doctor or the North Dakota Department of Health.

N.J.'s Rep. Robert Andrews to Resign
By Kristina Peterson and Rebecca Ballhaus
New Jersey Democratic Rep. Robert Andrews said Tuesday morning that he will resign from Congress later this month to lead the government affairs practice at Dilworth Paxson, a law firm.
Speaking from his office in Haddon Heights, N.J., Mr. Andrews said the firm's offer was in "my family and my best interest to accept." He added: "I am looking forward to utilizing the skills, experiences, and perspectives I have developed in these years in public service in ways that I believe will help our community and our country in the private sector."
He will leave Congress Feb. 18.
Currently serving his 13th term in the House, Mr. Andrews is likely to be replaced by a fellow Democrat. In 2012, President Barack Obama won the support of 65.8% of his district.
Mr. Andrews has been the subject of an investigation by the House Ethics Committee, which is made up of lawmakers, since March. The Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent office created by the House, had said that Mr. Andrews may have improperly used congressional campaign funds and another campaign account to pay for a family trip to Scotland in June 2011 and that he may have improperly used campaign funds "to pay for various trips to Los Angeles in 2011 and for his daughter's graduation party in June, 2011."
In a statement last March, Mr. Andrews said the review would "establish and confirm that I have always followed all the rules and met all the standards of the House."
He called the allegations "false and politically motivated, and in some instances anonymous accusations," and said he would provide any information requested by the ethics committee.
Mr. Andrews won a special election in 1990 after former Rep. James Florio resigned from Congress to become governor of New Jersey. Seven years later, Mr. Andrews unsuccessfully ran for the governor's seat, and in 2008, he lost the Senate Democratic primary race to then-Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who died last year.
Five other members of the House have resigned in the last year—four Republicans and one Democrat. A special election will likely be held to fill Mr. Andrews' seat.
