Eli is a special player

Two years ago, I remember sitting in Vandebilt Catholic's football fieldhouse and having a little conversation with former Terriers football coach Laury Dupont.
Dupont, who retired as the Terriers coach last year but still serves as the school's athletic director, had a great coaching career that included three state titles and over 200 wins. He also coached two NFL players in Tyson Jackson and Quinn Johnson at West St. John.
So if anyone knows how to spot talent, it is Dupont.
On that day two years ago, he filled me in on an unknown young player who was preparing for his first season of football at Vandebilt.
"Elijah McGuire," Dupont said. "No. 15. He's going to be something special to watch."
Boy, was Dupont ever right.
Two years after bursting onto the prep scene at Vandebilt, McGuire has lived up to and perhaps even exceeded all of Dupont's expectations.
He just finished his senior regular season with 2,094 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns as a quarterback, earning him recognition as one of the state's best players.
He is also coming off the best game of his high school career against District 8-4A rival Ellender last week.
McGuire had 402 yards rushing and five touchdowns in the Terriers' 64-36 win over Ellender. The victory helped Vandebilt (9-1 overall) claim its first outright district title since 2002.
McGuire has simply been a thing of beauty to watch play this year.
I've watched many great athletes from our area over the years, and McGuire is one of the most explosive players I've ever seen.
It's not often you see players running for over 2,000 yards in a season, and McGuire made it look really easy.
The things he can do with the football in his hands are amazing. He has great speed, vision and the ability to burst through small running lanes to get big runs. I've seen him make runs that other players could only dream of making.
His performance against Ellender is the stuff that legends are made of. I'm sure everyone who watched that game will never forget it.
It has been impressive to see some of the eye-popping statistics McGuire has recorded during games this season, but the thing that really stands out is the type of person he is off the field.
I've talked to many Vandebilt coaches, players, faculty members and people around the community, and they all say McGuire is one of nicest and most humble kids you'll ever meet.
He always has a smile on his face, and he has worked hard both in the classroom and in athletics to get to where he is today. He is getting looked at by colleges across the country, but you'll never know it at times because he never gloats about personal accomplishments.
"He doesn't have an ego or seeks attention," current Vandebilt football coach Brad Villavaso said. "He's always asking what he can do to help the team get better. It's a blessing to coach a kid like that."
McGuire has always been a gifted athlete, whether it was making explosive touchdown runs on the football field or hitting big shots for the Terriers basketball team.
But this season, he is really showing everyone his full potential, especially after he missed most of his junior season with injuries.
In his senior year, McGuire said he is healthier than ever, and the Terriers are reaping the rewards of it.
Vandebilt will open the bi-district round of the Class 4A playoffs against Huntington High of Shreveport at 7 p.m. Friday at Buddy Marcello Stadium in Houma.
Vandebilt is hoping to make a run through the playoffs. It will be a challenge, but having a weapon like McGuire will only help.
If you aren't doing anything on Friday night, I would recommend that all football fans in the area go watch McGuire play against Huntington.
You won't be disappointed because he's something special to watch.

VIENNA - Each Christmas holiday season, from early November to Dec. 24, the sound of bells ringing at store entrances and exits is familiar.
This year there are two dozen stores with red kettles and bell ringers collecting for the Salvation Army of Parkersburg Corps to aid its Christmas programs for those in need, said Lt. Mechelle Henry an officer with the local organization.
The goal is to raise $165,000, said Henry. The funds collected during the drive will fund Christmas for about 700 families with about 4,000 children in the local Salvation Army's coverage region. The Parkersburg Corps aids residents in Wood, Calhoun, Jackson, Ritchie, Wirt and Pleasants counties. While every penny dropped in the kettles helps, the bulk of the money collected is from mail donations during the Christmas season.
Donations purchase a meal basket for each family and holiday gifts for children under the age of 12 whose cards were not taken from the Angel Trees. Angel Trees are in stores and restaurants around the community and allow residents who have a little extra to help a child and provide for their Christmas.
Henry said it is important for individuals, families, organizations and companies to sponsor the kettles.
"We have church groups, families and other organizations that have taken it upon themselves to sponsor kettles and man them, which is a great help," Henry said.
One such organization is the teacher sorority Alpha Delta Kapppa, which had two members spending several hours on Thursday manning a kettle at J.C. Penney at the Grand Central Mall.
"This is something we do as a project where we can get out in the community and do some good," said member Kitty Spencer, of Belpre. "We do other projects, but helping the Salvation Army is something that is important to us."
Fellow member Jean Hopkins, of Parkersburg, said she sees manning the red kettles as a way to help out a number of people.
"In this economy, everybody needs all of the help they can get and give and this is my way of helping," Hopkins said.
Al Wolfe, of Parkersburg, has participated in bell ringing for the Salvation Army for the past four years and said he enjoys donating his spare time.
"I really enjoy it," he said. "I like being involved in the Salvation Army and the work they do, so I plan to help for a long as I can."
Last year the Parkersburg Corps aided more than 1,000 families and more than 4,000 children with a boxed Christmas meal of ham and all of the sides, along with toys and clothes for the kids.
Although the kettle drive is in full swing, the Salvation Army is always looking for volunteers to ring the bells and man the kettles, Henry said.
"We have a lot of civic organizations and church groups and even families giving their time, but we are always looking for more volunteers," she said.
To volunteer, contact Dawn Haught with the organization at 304-485-4529 ext. 203.

Lock Down: Lawmen, Outlaws and Frontier Justice in Jackson County, Missouri
Westport Historical Society Speaker Series
Saturday, October 12, 2013
2:00pm @ Westport Branch
The need for frontier justice was obvious from the origination of Jackson County in 1826. This presentation will discuss the earliest Jackson County jails, including data on the men and women who lived on both sides of the barred windows and doors. A book by the same title will be available for $10 a copy, and the presenter and author will be available for book signing at the reception afterwards.
David W. Jackson is Director of Archives and Education for the Jackson County Historical Society. He is a director of The Orderly Pack Rat, an historical research and consulting service he founded in 1996. His belief and practice is to encourage personal and organizational awareness in historical archives, while emphasizing the significance of documenting our daily activities as history.
Jackson has more than 40 years of experience in personal manuscript collection. His childhood hobby of genealogy initiated at age 11, became the catalyst and inspiration for his future career.
A reception for the speaker follows at The Harris Kearney House, 40th & Baltimore.

I've got an issue when using MEncoder to play movies with 5.1 sound. The sound channels are routed to the wrong speakers, so the sound that's supposed to be CENTER is heard in the BACK RIGHT speaker. Kind of anoying since most of the dialog is usually located in the center speaker.
Any clues to what I might do to fix this issue?
Obviously I've checked 5.1 sound from other sources and it is played correctly, so I haven't messed up my wiring
Also, playing 2.0 movies works fine and sound is heard in the front left and right speakers.

Machu Picchu or bust
Trekking in the shadows of the ancient Incan city
That was stating the obvious.
On a four-day trek of the Inca Trail, I had hoped to end my trip that way: with stunning views of the lost Incan city,
What I hadn't planned on were the 15 trips in the night to the bathroom facility (that's being generous), feeling freezing in my minus-20 Fahrenheit REI sleeping bag, and the dry heaving like I drank too much the night before.
I was sick. Really sick. In Peru.
Earlier in the trek, our guides, Tomás and Jefferson (the irony was not lost on me), told us stories of trekkers who simply couldn't make it. They couldn't deal with the altitude. The thousands of stone stairways defeated trekkers in their best shape or they drank water from the wrong stream.
I had issues with none of these. It was likely an absent-minded mistake, forgetting to use hand sanitizer after using a DEET bug repellent.
Still, the words were branded in my mind: "today." That meant another two to three hours of hiking over stone, passing rockfalls down 1,000-foot cliffs and under a tarantula-sized spider's nest. It meant completing a four-day hike in three days, while sick.
Vacation isn't supposed to be this way.
Exactly a year ago altitude sickness and a fear of heights got the best of me while climbing the Grand Teton in Wyoming. The trip left me defeated. All I imagined hearing was "all you do is travel and get sick."
The Inca Trail was supposed to be different and, at the same time, with a similar challenge. The daunting Dead Woman's Pass, the highest part of the trek, stood at nearly the same height as the Grand, about 13,770 feet, much lower than I'd traveled in Nepal but a personal goal since last year.
My story this time would be different.
Summer in the United States is high season for trekkers in Peru, where it is winter. Down coats are pulled out in the evenings, while most trekkers strip down to their shorts and T-shirts in the sunlight. I knew I was on a well-traveled trail, considered touristy by many trekkers, but my goal was to find something authentic despite the busy path.
Instead, I was sick ... again.
My Nikon camera bounced on my chest as I walked alone, packless, on a trail that I occasionally reminded myself was half a millennia old.
Over my left shoulder was the second highest mountain in Peru. Behind me was Nicanor, a porter in his early twenties turned-personal-assistant who spoke mostly Quechua, carrying my bag.
"Gracias," I'd say about once an hour, leaning over on my trekking poles to give myself a rest and pointing at the load on his back.
"De nada," he'd reply.
I said goodbye to the rest of our group around 1 p.m. at the third and final gate before a government checkpoint along the trail. Here, they'd be eating lunch, resting for the 3 a.m. wakeup call on Friday to join the throngs of others heading to the Sun Gate, a site which offers the first glimpse of Machu Picchu at dawn.
They would stop, but I needed to continue on with Jefferson to catch the bus to Aguas Calientes, or as the guides call it "Machu Picchu" town for its abundance of touristy hotels, shops and restaurants for those heading to the Inca site. Oh, and for its medical care, where an I.V. awaited my veins.
That was the most conversation we'd have and I felt guilty not only for being sick but for watching him carry about 110 pounds on his back.
Jefferson, however, was fluent. He had made friends from Colorado and asked about the Aurora theater shooting. Then the talking stopped.
"Ready for the gringo killers?" he asked.
It came so suddenly, that for all I knew he was talking about a band or bandits. Neither, but instead a mountain of stairs, about 2 feet high each. Fifty one, at least, that's what I counted on the way up, eventually ending in a final path, to the Sun Gate.
"One more," Jefferson said.
It wasn't until then that I realized something: our stretch of trail had been empty. Crowds passed through here at 3 a.m. and it was closer to 4 p.m. now, with most of the trekkers gone for the day. It was the three of us and a group of American college students, talking about the start of their semester in the next week.
Then, through the haze — and about a half mile to a mile away — there it was, Machu Picchu built atop a gumdrop-shaped green mountain.
Jefferson snapped a few requisite tourist photos of me and a few of Nicanor, making me promise to send them later. Then, we pushed on, the final winding stone path, down this time toward the famous lost city.
Around a final bend, the view many expect to witness appeared, that National Geographic magazine perfect shot. Except, for most tourists, the shot is full of, well, other tourists and trekkers.
My view, though, was that magazine shot shot — there wasn't a tourist to be found, except for two girls from California with their guide. Even a llama, like the front of my Lonely Planet guide, wandered into view as if queued by a director. The day was ending, the site was closing and the last buses leaving.
That's when Jefferson pointed to Nicanor, who smiled one of the few times during the whole trip.
"It's his first time," Jefferson said. "Not many people or guides get to see it like this."
First time at Machu Picchu? No, but his first successful trip in his career as a porter. An achievement, Jefferson said.
Maybe it was the Cipro-floxacin finally kicking in my bloodstream, but I stopped caring about being sick for a moment.
I passed around my Nikon, grabbed a few shots with the two, and watched sparrows chirp and swoop in, before taking the stone path to the bus way.
I'd completed my trip in three days instead of four.
In the morning, I'd come back to the site to be reunited with the group, rested and rejuvenated with a story to tell.

STANFORD -- Stanford's defense got more bad news Tuesday ahead of its Pac-12 showdown against No. 2 Oregon: Defensive end Ben Gardner will miss the remainder of the season because of a chest muscle injury.
The fifth-year senior is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair the damaged muscle.
Gardner, an all-conference second-team performer the past two seasons, left last week's game at Oregon State in the third quarter and did not return. Coach David Shaw said the injury occurred because of "bad body position at the wrong time."
Shaw added that Gardner had been in pain for the past month but the latest injury was unrelated to other issues.
No. 6 Stanford's defensive line has been without its other starting end, Henry Anderson, since mid-September.
But Shaw said that the 6-foot-6, 295-pound senior could return for the Oregon game Nov. 7 at Stanford Stadium.
Anderson has started individual drills, but coaches won't know if he can play until he practices next week.
If Anderson isn't ready, the Cardinal will rely on converted linebacker Blake Lueders, converted tight end Luke Kaumatule and Anthony Hayes.
"The people who take his place on the field need to feel his presence," Shaw said.
But Stanford knows it will be difficult to contain the Oregon Express without its big ends.
"If we're not fully manned, it's ridiculously difficult," Shaw said. "You've got to be healthy or these guys can make you look bad."
Coaches might have to simplify the defensive-line schemes if Anderson can't play. They would rely on experience elsewhere on defense.
That's OK with linebacker A.J. Tarpley.
"If that's the burden we need to take on, so be it," he said. "We want teammates to lean on us."
Gardner plans to pursue an NFL career, he said in an open letter sent through the school's communications office.
"Although this injury will undoubtedly make my transition to professional football more challenging, I have never been one to back down from a challenge, and I like my chances," Gardner said. "People have doubted me for my entire career and they will continue to do so, but I trust that my experiences at Stanford have put me in a position where I cannot fail."
"I would run the ball more, the kind of game that we hung our hat on," he said. "We should line up and hit them in the mouth. Get away from fancy passing."
Hewitt wasn't questioning the coaching staff.
"I have a bias," he said. "I like being on the field."
Hewitt is glad to play the Ducks at home instead of Autzen Stadium, where "you can't hear yourself think."
Added Hewitt, "It will be nice having them in the 'Library.' "
Murphy, who was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week, is ranked fourth nationally with 91/2 sacks and tied for seventh with 13 tackles for a loss.

Report on the Implementation of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (350 KB PDF)
On March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez spilled over 11 million gallons of Alaskan crude into the water of Prince William Sound. There were many lessons learned the aftermath of the Valdez oil spill. Two of the most obvious were:
Although the environmental damage and massive cleanup efforts were the most visible effects of this casualty, one of the most important outcomes was the enactment of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), which addressed both these deficiencies.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2701-2761) amended the Clean Water Act and addressed the wide range of problems associated with preventing, responding to, and paying for oil pollution incidents in navigable waters of the United States. It created a comprehensive prevention, response, liability, and compensation regime to deal with vessel- and facility-caused oil pollution to U.S. navigable waters. OPA greatly increased federal oversight of maritime oil transportation, while providing greater environmental safeguards by:
Title I of OPA established new and higher liability limits for
oil spills, with commensurate
changes to financial responsibility requirements. It substantially
broadened the scope of damages, including natural resource damages
(NRDs), for which polluters are liable. It also authorized the Oil Spill Liability Trust
Fund (OSLTF) up to $1 billion to pay for expeditious oil
removal and uncompensated damagesup to $1 billion per incident. The Delaware River Protection Act of 2006, title VI of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006, increased the limits of liability.
OSLTF administration was delegated to the U.S. Coast Guard by Executive Order; and on February 20, 1991, the National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC) was commissioned to:

Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 37(d). Failure of Party to Attend at Own Deposition or Serve Answers to Interrogatories or Respond to Request for Inspection.
If a party or an officer, director, or managing agent of a party or a person designated under Rule 30(b)(6) or 31(a) to testify on behalf of a party fails (1) to appear before the officer who is to take deposition, after being served with a proper notice, or (2) to serve answers or objections to interrogatories submitted under Rule 33, after proper service of the interrogatories, or (3) to serve a written response to a request for inspection submitted under Rule 34, after proper service of the request, the court in which the action is pending on motion may make such orders in regard to the failure as are just, and among others it may take any action authorized under paragraphs (A), (B), and (C) of subdivision (b) (2) of this rule. In lieu of any order or in addition thereto, the court shall require the party failing to act or the attorney advising that party or both to pay the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, caused by the failure, unless the court finds that the failure was substantially justified or that other circumstances make an award of expenses unjust.
The failure to act described in this subdivision may not be excused on the ground that the discovery sought is objectionable unless the party failing to act has applied for a protective order as provided by Rule 26(c).

Mini Peanut Butter/Chocolate Cheesecakes
Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecakes
1 1/2 cups crushed Nutter Butter cookies
2 Tbsp finely chopped peanuts
4 Tbsp butter, melted
Combine above ingredients. With cooking spray, lightly spray the wells of two, 12-serving mini cheesecake pans (this recipe makes 24 cheesecakes.) Distribute crust mixture evenly between wells and compact against bottom and a little up the sides. I used a shot glass to do this.
20 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 Tbsp corn starch
1/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
In microwave safe bowl, melt peanut butter and chocolate together, checking and stirring after each 15-20 second interval. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, corn starch and sour cream. Beat on medium speed until thoroughly mixed and creamy. Add in eggs, one at a time, and combine well. Stir in vanilla, then peanut butter/chocolate mixture. Thoroughly combine.
Distribute the batter evenly between the cheesecake pans wells and smooth tops. Bake at 300 degrees for 20-22 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cheesecakes to cool in pan on cooling rack. Refrigerate for several hours before removing cheesecakes from pan.
I topped the cheesecakes with whipped cream, then with a Keebler Fudge Shoppe Peanut Butter filled cookie, followed by more whipped cream, then chopped chocolate covered peanuts.

Gosh, this makes me really wish I had mini cheesecake pans... You think they might work for muffin pans? 'Cause these look absolutely delicious!

Alexandra, I think they'd work just fine in muffins pans. They'd be about double in size, though... and of course they'd take longer to bake.

Thanks Ingrid! The shower was last Saturday... and I ended up not using the cookies as a topper. The transporting issue became a concern and then the stabilized whipped cream decided it didn't like being transported.... arrghh. they tasted fine, just didn't look as pretty as I wanted them to.

2.4-4 Impeachment -- Whelan Rule
Revised to December 1, 2007
In evidence as exhibit [ ] is a prior statement of <identify witness>. To the extent, if at all, you find such statement inconsistent with the witness's trial testimony, you may give such inconsistency the weight to which you feel it is entitled in determining the witness's credibility here in court. You may also use such statement for the truth of its content and find facts from it.
Include only if the court has also instructed the jury on the use of inconsistent statements for impeachment purposes (Impeachment -- Inconsistent Statements, Instruction 2.4-3). If the only inconsistent statements in the case have been admitted under Whelan, it may not be necessary to instruct on the substantive use of the out-of-court statement because there will be no need to distinguish which statements may be used substantively and which for impeachment only.
See generally State v. McDougal, 241 Conn. 502, 507-12 (1997); State v. Newsome, 238 Conn. 588, 592-622 (1996).
The prescribed circumstances for the admissibility of prior inconsistent written statements for substantive purposes are that the declarant: 1) signs the statement; 2) has personal knowledge of the facts stated; and 3) testifies at trial and is subject to cross-examination. State v. Wooten, 227 Conn. 677, 700 (1993), citing State v. Whelan, 200 Conn. 743, cert. denied, 479 U.S. 994, 107 S. Ct. 597, 93 L. Ed. 2d 598 (1986); see also State v. Woodson, 227 Conn. 1, 20 (1993). A statement that satisfies the requirements for admissibility under Whelan is "presumptively admissible" and "may be excluded as substantive evidence only if the trial court is persuaded, in light of the circumstances under which the statement was made, that the statement is so untrustworthy that its admission into evidence would subvert the fairness of the fact-finding process." State v. Mukhtaar, 253 Conn. 280, 306-307 (2000).
A prior tape-recorded statement is also admissible for substantive purposes; State v. Whelan, supra, 200 Conn. 754, n.9; however, "the requirement that such statements be signed is unnecessary because the recording of the witness' voice imparts the same measure of reliability as a signature." State v. Woodson, supra, 227 Conn. 21; State v. Portee, 55 Conn. App. 544, 556-60 (1999), cert. denied, 252 Conn. 920 (2000); State v. Perry, 48 Conn. App. 193, 199-200, cert. denied, 244 Conn. 931 (1998).
"The 'personal knowledge' prong of
the Whelan rule does not require that the declarant have witnessed the
commission of the crime that is the subject of the prior inconsistent written or
recorded statement." State v. Grant, 221 Conn. 93, 99 (1992); State
v. Woodson, supra, 227 Conn. 22.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words – The ASD Video Glossary
Social reciprocity, joint attention, sensory defensiveness, hand flapping, and echolalia.
These are just a few of the terms which may sound foreign to a parent who suspects his child may have autism. And even when you look up a word, it is hard to visualize the concept. What exactly does hand flapping look like? What does echolalia sound like?
Autism Speaks, together with First Signs and Florida State University, developed a web-based video glossary to help parents and professionals learn more about the early warning signs of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The glossary contains over a hundred video clips and is available free of charge, to help parents of children suspected of or recently diagnosed with autism better understand some of the words and terms they might hear used in association with ASD. Whether you are a parent, family member, friend, physician, clinician, childcare provider, or educator, it can help you see the subtle differences between typical and delayed development in young children and spot the early red flags for ASD. Video clips are used to show examples of terms such as echolalia and hand flapping. In many cases, side-by-side video clips show behaviors that are typical in contrast with those that are red flags for ASD. All of the children featured in the ASD Video Glossary as having red flags for ASD are, in fact, diagnosed with ASD.
If you suspect autism or are in the process of obtaining a diagnosis, I highly recommend you utilize the video glossary, which can be found here: http://www.autismspeaks.org/video/glossary.php.
Please note: the ASD Video Glossary is not a diagnostic tool.

Two weeks after the Hannibal Board of Public Works addressed complaints from some consumers about "earthy" tasting water, Heath Hall, director of operations for the BPW, reports that the situation has improved.
"We're not in the clear yet, but we're getting closer," he said, stressing that the city's water continues to be safe to drink.
Hall fielded a couple of calls the last week of December from customers of the Ralls County Public Water Supply District No. 1, which purchases its water from the BPW. According to Hall, both callers noted some odor, especially when they ran their hot water.
"They're quite a ways out in the (Ralls County) system. I'm not sure if it hasn't run through the whole system yet or maybe it's just an isolated thing where we're still having some issues," he said.
The BPW continues to follow the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' recommended treatment - using additional carbon.
"That seems to be the approach for everybody," said Hall, who noted earlier in December that other communities which take their water from the Mississippi River were encountering similar issues. "The carbon absorbs the organics that are causing the problems in the water. We've added carbon up there for years for taste and odor, we're just adding more of it now."
The unusual smell and flavor have been attributed to problems with algae growth related to this year's dry weather and the unusually low river conditions. During the Dec. 19 BPW Board meeting it was reported that a lack of water flow on the river is contributing to the situation.
"That's causing a lot of our problems," said Hall. "Our treatment facility is set up for river water and it's kind of getting stagnant. It's sitting there like a lake and some of the layers just aren't moving."

Ericka Miller
Hi, I'm Ericka Miller. I joined the WXII 12 News team in May of 2011 as the weekend news and sports anchor. Prior to coming to the Piedmont, I spent the first six years of my career at KAAL-TV in Rochester, Minnesota. I started right out of college as a reporter and eventually worked my way up to the main spot as the 6 & 10 weeknight anchor.
I'm an Iowa girl! The Midwest has always been my home, but no, my family does not have cows or pigs. There is more to Iowa than just corn! I promise!
While I've spent a majority of my life in the middle of the country, I went to college in Florida at the University of Miami. Go Canes! During my four years at the "U", I rowed for the girl's crew team and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.
When I'm not at work, I'll admit, I spend a lot of time watching news! I also like to cook (I'm a huge foodie), read, cheer on my Miami Hurricanes and spend time with family and friends.
I'm new to the Triad, so if you have any recommendations on what to see, do, or eat, I'd love to hear from you! I'm looking forward to exploring this beautiful part of the country and making the Triad my new home!
And don't forget, story ideas are always welcome, just shoot me an email.

An Indiana man has filed a lawsuit claiming that police forcibly withdrew blood and urine from his body during a drunken driving arrest, WLWT-TV reported.
According to the suit, police arrested Jamie Lockard, 53, on suspicion of drunken driving in March.
A Breathalyzer test showed he was under the legal limit, but Officer Brian Miller doubted the findings.
Lockard and his attorney claim in the suit that police took him to Dearborn County Hospital and forced him to submit to a urine and blood test.
Police said they obtained a warrant, but Lockard's attorney said his client was shackled to a gurney and had a catheter inserted against his will.
"It has to be executed reasonably," said attorney Doug Garner. "No one would say this is reasonable behavior. It's reprehensible that anyone could think that this is appropriate."
The blood test showed that Lockard's blood-alcohol level did not exceed Indiana's legal limit, police said.
Garner said the police officer did not apologize, but instead charged Lockard with obstruction of justice.
"He took it too far. He thought he could do whatever to me," Lockard said.
The suit names the Lawrenceburg police department and Dearborn County Hospital, in addition to Miller and Dr. Ronald Cheek.
"I would hate for this to happen to someone else," Lockard said. "It was the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to me, ever."

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Skeleton Argument of the Claimant (long): Electronic Edition, by Adrian DaviesTable of Contents
|<< The orthodox historical c...
|< Skeleton
|The physical evidence of ... >
|Racism and Anti-Semitism >>
The eye witnesses
124.Gray J poses the question at 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..."
125.Yet even the Defendants had some reservations about the testimony of the handful of eye witnesses. Irving for his part explains the evidence of the former camp officials as extracted under torture or given in a desperate attempt to ingratiate themselves with their captors by confessing in the terms expected of them. The six or so inmates who have come forward with their accounts are an infinitesimal percentage of the survivors, and Irving dismisses their evidence as invented, exagerated, or the product of what is now called false memory syndrome. The question is not whether he is right in that view, but rather, whether he came to it honestly and reasonably.
126.By way of examples of the value (or lack of it) of the eye witness testimony, at 13.77 Gray J is impressed with Tauber, though (contrary to Gray J's slip of the pen at 7.110, when he wrongly attributes this tale to Olère), it was Tauber who made the absurd claim that the SS manufactured sausages out of human flesh in the crematoria.
127.As to Gray J's observation at 7.40 that: "Van Pelt considered that Tauber's testimony is almost wholly corroborated by the German blueprints of the buildings," that is scarcely surprising, as it is said that Tauber was questioned by the Polish prosecutors on the basis of the blueprints which were before them and him. Sometimes he described things which existed only on the blueprints, and which were never actually installed. All this material was put to the Defendants' experts in cross-examination.
128.As to 7.31, Pery Broad, whom Gray J generously describes as "an officer in the Auschwitz Political Department" had been a Gestapo agent operating at Auschwitz. He later became a paid agent of the British occupation government in Germany. He was thus a man of dubious antecedents and flexible allegiances, whose evidence is plainly open to question on these grounds. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he was not produced for cross-examination at any of the war crimes trials, e.g. at the Tesch trial his affidavit alone was produced. He is one of the witnesses to the critical "holes" in the roof of Krerniatrozium which Van Pelt conceded do not now exist; see para. 7.92.
129.At 13.49, Gray J praises "Vaillant-Couturier's vivid, detailed and credible evidence about the women's camp at Auschwitz". Marie-Claude Vaillant-Couturier was a demonstrably political woman. Much of this Communist agitator's past is still shrouded in mystery. In her essay Women in the French Resistance Rebecca G. Halbreich concedes: "It is not clear from any source what her exact role was in the Resistance."
130.The evidence of her heroism is her own uncorroborated testimony at Nuremberg: she was (she said) arrested by Petain's French police on 9 February 1942, questioned by the Germans on 9 June 1942, and arrived with 230 other French women at Auschwitz on 27 January 1943; of these, 49 survived, the rest dying of disease (though her testimony is vague on this point); she herself caught typhus and was in quarantine from 15 July 1943 to May 1944, returned to the main camp for two months, then being transferred to the women's camp at Ravensbruck.
131.For her IMT testimony, see Trial of the Major War Criminals before the International Military Tribunal, Nuremberg, 28 January 1946 (Nuremberg, 1947), p. 219.
132.It seems likely that Judge Biddle wrote "this I doubt" of her testimony generally, for example:--
- (i) her preposterous account of the SS flagellation machine, which requires Freudian rather than legal analysis; and
- (ii) her lurid suggestion that a guard called Tauber had encouraged his SS dog to kill prisoners for fun.
133.It scarcely seems likely that Judge Biddle was referring to her account of women being selected for SS brothels. That part of her testimony was unquestionably true. Such brothels were a feature of most concentration camps.

Ted Lemon: "The Concept of Noble Place in New World Winegrowing"
Post by Chuck Hayward | February 20th, 2013
A few weeks ago, I joined a large portion of the wine world that descended on Wellington, New Zealand for Pinot Noir NZ 2013. Held every three years, the four day symposium featured lectures, tastings and seminars, attracting leading winemakers, critics and consumers from around the world.
Wine Spectator critic Matt Kramer delivered an excellent and thought provoking keynote speech that has generated considerable attention. He attempted to answer the question, "Can Atheists Make Great Pinot Noir?" and in his usual eloquent and captivating manner, Matt laid out his ideas regarding how to make superlative pinot. Whether you agree with him or not, Matt made a convincing argument in support of his theories. And, as might be expected, Matt's arguments provoked some rather spirited discussions and blog posts. To any pinot (or wine) enthusiast, I highly recommend Alder Yarrow's transcript of Matt's lecture.
A week after the New Zealand conference concluded, I found myself with a smaller group in Australia to attend the sixth biannual Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration. As I did, many of those in the audience had also come from the New Zealand conclave, including Ted Lemon, winemaker for Littorai as well as Central Otago's Burn Cottage Vineyard. (more…)

SOCHI, Russia -- Ever since 1980 and the Miracle On Ice, the USA men's hockey team has been seeking another Olympic gold medal.
On Friday night here at the Bolshoy Ice Dome, the USA couldn't even find one goal.
One stinking goal.
One stinking goal that could have made all the difference, miraculous or otherwise.
One stinking goal that could have tied Canada and sent the game into overtime, where you never know what might have happened.
What happened instead? Canada scored early in the second period of an impossibly fast-paced Olympic semifinal game, then frustrated the USA to the finish line for a 1-0 victory.
"We didn't create enough chances, didn't get enough 'Grade A' chances," said Joe Pavelski, the USA forward from the San Jose Sharks who was visibly disappointed afterward.
With good cause. Over the past 10 days, Pavelski and his American teammates had established themselves as a gold medal threat by ripping pucks into the net with abandon. Before Friday, they had scored more goals than any other team in the Games.
But on Friday night, Canada shut off the USA faucet. And wouldn't you just know it? One major reason for Pavelski's frustration was the play of the Sharks' two other representatives in the game -- Canada forward Patrick Marleau and Canada defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic.
In fact, Marleau's three-man forward unit was almost always on the ice against Pavelski's unit when the coaches sent out line changes. Once, Marleau was even whistled for a penalty against Pavelski as he broke into the USA's offensive zone. A clear case of Shark-on-Shark crime. The call: holding the stick.
"He was trying to push me back," Marleau said with a slight grin. "And my hand got over the top of his stick. I'll talk to Pavs about that later."
It was nearly sooner. A few minutes after the final horn, Pavelski walked by Marleau in the "mixed zone" beneath the arena where players from both teams meet the media in an awkward cattle-pen situation.
Pavelski, upon request, stopped for an interview with a Bay Area News Group reporter. He wound up standing right next to Marleau, who turned and appeared ready to say something to his San Jose teammate -- but then sensed the time was not right. So Marleau simply reached out and gave a wordless pat to Pavelski's lower back before heading to the locker room.
It was a poignant moment. Marleau and Pavelski have been through this before. Four years ago, at the Vancouver Winter Olympics gold medal game, Canada beat the USA in overtime. Marleau's team was the winner that afternoon, too.
Pavelski must be getting tired of this.
One stinking goal.
"We knew we needed just that one play, that one chance to go in," Pavelski said. "But we didn't get it."
More accurately, Canada didn't let them get it. Canada was committed to not letting them get it. Canada's offense has had trouble scoring throughout the tournament -- so for this game, coach Mike Babcock emphasized defense above all. For every player. At every position.
Vlasic, the Sharks' representative on Canada's defensive backline, analyzed the result as well as anyone.
"We don't score many goals, so I saw a defensive game coming in this one," he said. "Even the most offensive-minded players in the league were defensive tonight for us. Our forwards caught their guys before the blue line and took away space. The USA has the best offense in the tournament, in my opinion. We had to find a way to stop it. We played great defense."
The USA, with goalie Jonathan Quick stopping 36 of 37 shots, also made a solid defensive commitment. This led to a rapid-paced game with a lot of movement on both sides, but few real juicy scoring opportunities. Despite the larger-sized international ice rink, the teams didn't find much room to move.
For the American skaters, the space shrunk even more after Canada scored the game's only goal -- when defenseman Jay Bouwmeester purposely shot a puck wide of the net into open space, where forward Jamie Benn's stick suddenly appeared and deflected it up purposely over Quick.
One stinking goal.
Given the lead, Canada's bigger and stronger forwards went into full defensive posture. They neutralized the USA speed by muscling the smaller Americans away from the prime shooting zone in front of the net -- even on power plays.
Canada also won lots of faceoffs (Pavelski uncharacteristically lost 10 of his 12 draws, usually against Jonathan Toews but once against Marleau) and after winning them, played with the puck as long as possible in its offensive zone.
"The more we were in their zone, the better for us," Vlasic said.
The bummed-out Pavelski said that Friday's loss was just as disappointing as the gold medal game defeat in Vancouver four years ago, even if that one was for a gold medal and this was a semifinal. USA's Ryan Suter pulled no punches in saying that Friday's loss was far more maddening.
"We sat back, we were passive," he said. "You can't play scared. I thought we sat on our heels and just didn't take it to them at all. We had motivation. We just didn't take it on the ice."
That critique might have been too harsh. But it would have been nice to see the USA get uglier and dirtier. They'll have a chance to do that Saturday in the bronze medal game against Finland, which lost to Sweden in the other Olympic semifinal.
"We get one more time to wear red, white and blue here," said USA forward David Backes, who was as upset as Pavelski. "We have one more chance to win a medal and make this trip worth it."
Know how they can start? By scoring one stinking goal.

Don't do me a favor and tell me what a swell guy I am and then try to squash my freedom of expression while I'm relishing the pat on the back. I'd rather you just call me a sonovabitch and take your business elsewhere.
When we think of censorship, we think of government and big corporations. I'm telling you there are little guys out there with even less regard for our right to speak out. I got a call from a guy I used to do some work for over the course of the past 10 years or so. You can tell when someone can barely keep their attention on the small talk they begin with that the hammer is held high and out of sight. He wasn't calling to discuss anything. He was calling to pay me back for an opinion I expressed.
Right after we agreed that the skiing was finally getting pretty good, he told me that I'd always done a good job for him and he enjoyed working with me. (Uh oh.) Then he said that he was taking his business elsewhere. It was something I'd written in the paper about his employer he didn't appreciate. I was certainly entitled to my own opinion, he said, and, of course, he fully respected that, but he was just as entitled to take his business elsewhere because of it. This was about principle, nothing personal. He made this last point several times.
I'm sure he hung up and felt good about it, got everything off his chest. No dilly-dallying. He stood up for something. It takes courage to make a call like that. It's a rare quality these days: a man who's not afraid to take action, to speak his mind, to tell the truth.
My impression is less likely to be condensed on a bumper sticker. I think the fellow was letting me know he was hitting me as hard as he could with the tools available to him, in case I might not otherwise notice. It was retaliation. He did what he could to shut me up, to make me think twice about speaking out. Not least of all, he made brownie points with his boss, whom, ironically, I never heard from. Why would I? He's obviously got minions.
My idea about a real man might be more practical than satisfying. He is wiser than he is vengeful. My idea about true principle is that it isn't opportunistic. It doesn't need to be explained or employed for gain. It's more action and fewer words. If subtlety is not enough to make the point, either there is no good principle involved or the other man isn't principled enough to recognize it.
I wrote a piece about the guy's employer, who I thought was taking advantage of the town and doing a disservice to the community while dumbing down the general skiing experience. The deal already had been struck down by the Town Council, so my public commentary about it had nothing to do with its demise. It was only observation.
If I were the dictator of the village and laid down the law, I would expect retaliation. Put my castle under siege, and let loose the fusillade of burning arrows until I come around. What else could you do to counteract the edicts I could place into effect on a whim? It's not like that, though. I've got an opinion and a pen, which might be mightier than a sword, but in the hands of one man these are impotent against the free-flowing thoughts of the energized mass of a democracy.
Outrage would spur us to rally against government attempting to shut down The New York Times for an opinion it expressed. Scale this down to one man making a token threat against a single columnist in retribution for an opinion expressed in a small-town newspaper, and the intent to oppress the freedom to speak out is much more difficult to see. But it's the same thing.
I hope the person who fired me because I spoke out against his employer for a plan they came up with that I thought was bad for our community shows this column to his boss to prove he paid me back for it. I hope he gets a small bonus and maybe gets taken out to lunch for his efforts. I hope they make him employee of the month. I think he sacrificed more for it than he realizes.
Roger Marolt accepts the consequences of his speech whether he's published in the paper or spouting off around a campfire. Contact him at email@example.com.

Aged Techniques for New Traditions
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 8:13:14 AM in Kirk Kara (26)

These preparations can help a person at risk for severe allergic reactions to avoid and respond to an anaphylactic reaction:
Wear a Medic Alert tag at all times.
Be in the care of a board-certified allergist.
Always carry an emergency kit with an antihistamine (chewable pill or syrup) and injectable epinephrine that you can give to yourself. Make sure you replace the injectable epinephrine after you use it or when it passes the expiration date.
Know the symptoms of a life-threatening reaction and have an up-to-date Anaphylaxis Action Plan.
Learn why and watch our videos to eliminate the fear surrounding self-administered injections. More info.
Epinephrine is the most important medicine for the treatment of anaphylaxis. It is injected into the lateral thigh. A special syringe that is easy to give (to yourself or someone else) is available. If prescribed, your doctor or nurse will teach you the proper way to use it. The effects of epinephrine can wear off quickly, and it is possible a second dose of epinephrine or other medications may be required to treat the allergic reaction. Therefore, it is important to get emergency medical attention right away after giving the shot. Common brands of epinephrine are:
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
EpiPen® Jr. Auto-Injector
Adrenaclick® Auto-Injector
Auvi-Q™ (epinephrine injection, USP) 0.3 mg, 0.15 mg Auto-Injector
Epinephrine is a life-saving medication for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis. Therefore, it must be carried at all times by the person at risk for severe allergic reactions.
The Auvi-Q™ is the newest form of epinephrine available. It is a compact device that fits inside a pocket. It has voice instructions to guide the user through the injection process step by step.

Love my rug! It was shipped quickly and is great quality for a great price. No shedding, no odor, and the color was exactly what I was looking for in a cow hide rug.

I ordered two to use in my bedroom. I requested two with similar colors. Like the other review, mine were really different in color and fluffiness . But I still love them and think they are good quality and look great! Would highly recommend them

My wife loved it! It gives a nice rustic feel to the room. Good coloring, good shape, good feel. I am quite happy with the quality. The rug feels soft and luxurious.

I finally received my two white tri colored rugs to Sydney,I'm pretty happy with them but they are so different,one is creamy white and really fluffy,while the other is whiter and not hairy at all,also a lot smaller,they were supposed to be both xl,they look so good though on my charcoal tiles!

Really soft texture, the pattern has a good balance of white and color.

I had previously bought a cow skin rug years ago at a log home show convention. It was a nice rug, however the quality and feel of my new rug is so much better! It is an extra large and the white with tri color is just beautiful and very soft. I will mix modern decor with rustic accents. Very nice!

Let me start by saying I am very picky. So the cowhide I received is an excellent value and superb quality. I ordered the X-Large and it definitely measures up in size. No regrets - if you're hesitating, don't! This is a good company and you can't do better unless you hand-pick one in person, and for that you'll pay double or triple the price.
