1. Scenes from the science fiction convention
In painstakingly constructed armor made of styrofoam and satin airbrushed into forbidding darkness, Sauron (Lord of the Ring and full-time evil overlord of the Land of Mordor) obligingly posed for pictures at the science fiction convention. Sauron towered over the crowd, stark comparison with Frodo (part-time savior of the world, complete with elven cloak and grubby feet). The speakers blared, "Kids! Come have your pictures taken with Sauron, the Dark Lord!" A constant stream of convention-goers talked to him briefly and then had their pictures taken with him. Occasionally, Nazguls joined the scene.
To one side, a girl stood by, ready to adjust Sauron's outfit for best effect. She wore no costume, but had with her a small bag with tape and pins. From time to time Sauron would bend down and exchange a few words with her. I wondered if Tolkien's Sauron ever had such an aide - rushing forward to polish his mace or mend his cloak, asking him periodically if he found his armor too hot or he'd like a glass of water. I can't imagine an orc being so attentive. It sucks to be a real overlord, I suppose - an enormous army, sure, but no pampering.
The day was hot. Fortunately Sauron had the foresight to make his costume jointed enough to sit in comfortably, and I saw him now remove his helmet and enjoy the breeze. A shock of blond hair and pale skin formed an incongruously friendly face that seemed to float above the forbidding armor. His smile was not menacing or grim, but light and almost goofy. He tucked his spiked helmet under his arm and leaned back, stretching armored legs tired from a day of posing.

The Eagle Post
Fort Campbell KY | August 15, 2012
The season is barely underway, but things are looking good for the Fort Campbell High School volleyball program.
For the eighth year in a row, the Lady Falcons won their season opener. They defeated district foe University Heights Academy 3-2 (28-26, 22-25, 25-17, 20-25, 15-11) Thursday in Hopkinsville.
Head Coach Tildea Spain told the Kentucky New Era that she was pleased with the team's effort considering they had very little practice.
"They've only been doing this for about two weeks. No conditioning or anything," she said.
Spain recently told the Eagle Post she is looking to Maegen Cobos, Amanda Ellis and Janna Moore for leadership this season and said they have been "awesome" so far.
The Lady Falcons will look to make it 2-0 Thursday evening at 7 p.m. at Todd County Central when Fort Campbell will face the Lady Rebels.
Fort Campbell lost 2-0 and 2-1 the two times they faced TCCHS last year.

Food bank focuses on pets
Donated food used to help those in financial trouble keep their pets
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 11:54 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Shannon Walker is working to feed the hungry of Tuscaloosa, one wagging tail at a time.
Walker, rescue coordinator for the Alabama Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, applied for a grant through Banfield Charitable Trust, the Portland, Ore.-based charitable arm of Banfield Pet Hospitals, in late 2012.
She had her doubts that her application would be accepted, but much to her surprise, she was given a $2,000 grant from Banfield in January. She is using the money to expand a project she calls "Dixie's Kitchen Pet Food Bank."
Walker said she had been collecting donated food for a pet food bank for a couple of years and dispersing pet food based on people's needs when they contacted her.
On Monday, she moved the donated items into office warehouse space she is renting near the intersection of Greensboro and 10th avenues in Tuscaloosa.
The pet food bank is named after a hound mix named Dixie that Walker is fostering.
Walker met Dixie in January 2011 when the dog was turned in by a breeder along with 38 others to the Bibb County Animal Control Rabies Impoundment. Walker was working at the shelter as a volunteer at the time and put Dixie on the shelter's safe list.
Walker lost her home in the April 27, 2011, tornado and was taking some time to rebuild her life when she got a call from the impoundment saying if she didn't take Dixie, they'd have to euthanize her. Walker said she left work and immediately went to get her.
The food bank is run through the Alabama SPCA that Walker founded, along with Thomas Sahm, in 2011. Walker said she plans to keep applying for grants to help with funding for the program. It accepts food for dogs and cats, as well as monetary donations.
Walker said she hopes to have the office open to the public at least three days a week, maybe more depending on volunteer availability.
There is a short application and screening process, a requirement of the grant, based on financial needs. Walker's plan is to have pickup days for those pre-approved about once a month. She also hopes to be able to deliver pet food to the elderly and shut-ins who cannot come to the office to pick up the food. The program has also been working to help feed animals in rural shelter foster homes.
"About 60 percent of intake at Metro Animal Shelter is from owner surrenders," Walker said.
She said when people get into financial trouble, one of the first things to go is the family pet. Her hope is for the pet food bank program to prevent more owner surrenders to shelters and to keep pets in their homes.

also, why is okay to be racist as long as you arent white?
its just as wrong for everyone else as it is for white people.

- Minorities expressing a prejudice against white people is NOT "racism."
The_Human wrote: Appreciate the thought buy in my interpretation of what you said, it seems by your very definition you are putting whites at a higher 'level' or whatever you want to call it. Your saying that racism against whites by a minority group is not racism because whites are superior. Doesnt add up to me. Your explenation might fit within the definition of racism from dictionary.com, but i deffinently do not agree
XpeetX wrote: Well my opinion on your saying that racism against whites is ok because, the white devil is the cock-man oppressor. Therefore hating him is acceptable because he's keeping "us" down.
XpeetX wrote: DJDee by accepting that and saying that its ok for people to fall into these roles we are allowing it to continue. Which it is not. On a side note, have you ever read A People's History of The United States? Blacks were not the only ones held as slaves, whites also held whites as slaves. White guilt is taught to us, as is being ok to hate whites for their past aggressions. Giving in to it is NOT acceptable. Saying its ok for racism to be "systematically ingrained" (which I disagree with) and "unavoidable" is a cheap excuse.
Emynd you clarfied my confusion. As long as racism directed at ANYONE is thought of as a negative, I agree. I just personally have a problem with "reverse" racism being acceptable.
emynd wrote:
Dictionary.com defines "racism" as 1) The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others and 2) Discrimination or prejudice based on race. These, to me, are not definitions of "racism" but a definition of "race hatred." The disctinction here is this: "racism" is a SYSTEMATICALLY created ideology while "race hatred" is just when people hate on others purely because of race (NOT because of unavoidable systematic creation). Therefore, when either whites or other minorities hate on certain minorities, it is primarily because of the systematic dispersal of these prejudiced beliefs and attitudes of racial superiority. But, when a minority hates on a white person, this is primarily because of some sort of angry backlash and/or vengenace based on the white's racism. (There are of course exceptions to this, but they are few and far between and not interesting to the debate.)
So, why even bother classifying one as "racism" and the other as "race hatred"? I feel that this "racism"/"race hatred" distinction is an important one to make because this "race hatred" is promulgated and perpetuated by our American Capitalist system. And only the term "racism" should be used with reference to hatred of minorities, because our system creates a hatred of minorities and not of whites

Tuscaloosa to use eminent domain to seize Alberta land
Published: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 10:17 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | After negotiations led to a rejected offer of more than $1 million, the City Council has elected to use its powers of eminent domain to seize 17 privately owned parcels in Alberta.
The city says the land seizure is needed for public use: the reconstruction of Fire Station No. 4, which was destroyed by the April 27, 2011 tornado, and the improvement of city streets.
The 17 total tracts — 16 entire lots and a sliver of one more — are all owned by Tuscaloosa real estate businessman Lang Ray through either Ray Inc. or Del-Ray, LLC.
Ray declined to comment Wednesday on why he rejected the city's final offer of $1.098 million for the nearly 2.6 acres of land, saying only that he felt justified in holding out.
"I'm like everyone else," said Ray, who has operated Lang-Ray Realty on 15th Street since 1968, "I've got reasons to and for and whatever."
City Attorney Tim Nunnally said the City Council was advised to proceed with the eminent domain procedures after negotiations with Ray ended.
"The property owner declined to sell the property for the amount the city offered," Nunnally said, noting the offered price was about 10 percent above the fair market appraisal of $998,000.
With Tuesday's vote, the eminent domain process goes to a special panel to be appointed by the Tuscaloosa County Probate Court. The panel will determine an appropriate value of the land and assess the amount that City Hall must give Ray in exchange for the land.
Property owners can appeal the amount assessed by the probate court panel, but oftentimes, the initiation of the eminent domain process will draw the negotiations to an end before the court's decision is reached.
City officials said the idea of exercising the council's eminent domain powers was discussed during an executive session on Tuesday. Council members were informed by city attorneys during that closed-door meeting that the matter would be on that night's agenda.
The tracts border each side of 26th Avenue East, and those on the eastern side of the street back up to former site of Alberta Elementary School, which was destroyed when the EF4 tornado carved a 5.9-mile swath of destruction across the city.
According to the Tuscaloosa Forward Generational Master Plan, these tracts are included in the planned construction of a new Fire Station No. 4 as well as the realignment of 25th and 26th avenues east and the development of a planned Alberta Parkway — a wide, landscaped street connecting Jaycee Park and the Alberta Elementary School site just north of University Boulevard East.
Efforts to obtain enough land for these projects have been under way for more than a year, with the most recent acquisitions coming last month, when the City Council voted to spend $335,000 on property in Alberta for components of the Tuscaloosa Forward Generational Master Plan.
Like Tuesday's vote on the eminent domain procedures, neither of the purchases were on the original council agenda. Instead, they were voted upon during a suspension of rules, with city leaders unanimously agreeing to proceed with the actions.
For the December vote, the council agreed to spend $320,000 to purchase the lot at the corner of 25th Avenue East and University Boulevard East, where the Texaco station now sits, and $35,000 to purchase land on Juanita Drive that will aid the rebuilding of Alberta Elementary School.
Prior purchases include that of the nearby Graceland Apartments. This tract also was obtained through an eminent domain process that started in December 2011. Six months later, the probate court panel ruled that the city must pay $536,000 for the land west of Alberta Elementary School.

Ирвинг против Липштадт
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< Introduction
|Irving's response >
The case for the Defendants
5.173In Hitler's War (1977 edition) Irving claims that Hitler was kept in the dark about the policy of exterminating Jews in the East. He wrote at p392:Irving wrote in similar terms in the 1991 edition. After quoting the references in Goebbels's diary to the brutal methods being employed against the Jews, he continued:
"The ghastly secrets of Auschwitz and Treblinka were well kept. Goebbels wrote a frank summary of them in his diary on March 27 1942, but evidently held his tongue when he met Hitler two days later, for he quotes only Hitler's remark: 'The Jews must get out of Europe. If need be, we must resort to the most brutal methods' ".
" 'The Jews have nothing to laugh about now', commented Goebbels. But he evidently never discussed these realities with Hitler. Thus this two-faced Minister dictated, after a further visit to Hitler on April 26, 'I have once again talked over the Jewish question with the Fuhrer. His position on this problem is merciless. He wants to force the Jews right out of Europe...' ".
5.174The Defendants' case is that Irving's claim that Goebbels deceived Hitler when (according to Irving) they met on 29 March is wrong: they accuse Irving of manipulating the diary entry for 27 March and ignoring other documents and sources which demonstrate that Hitler was well aware what was happening to the Jews in the East. The full diary entry (quoted at p400 of Evans's report) included the following passages:
"The Jews are now being pushed out of the General Government, beginning near Lublin, to the East. A pretty barbaric procedure is being applied here, and it is not to be described in any more detail, and not much is left of the Jews themselves. In general one may conclude that 60% of them must be liquidated, while only 40% can be put to work. The former Gauleiter of Vienna [Globocnik], who is carrying out this action, is doing it pretty prudently and with a procedure that doesn't work too conspicuously. The Jews are being punished barbarically, to be sure, but they have fully deserved it. The prophesy that the Fuhrer issued to them on the way, for the eventuality that they started a new world war, is beginning to realise itself in the most terrible manner. One must not allow any sentimentalities to rule in these matters. If we did not defend ourselves against them, the Jews would annihilate us. It is a struggle for life and death between the Aryan race and the Jewish bacillus. No other government and no other regime could muster the strength for a general solution of the question. Here too the Fuhrer is the persistent pioneer and spokesman of a radical solution, which is demanded by the way things are and thus appears to be unavoidable. Thank God during the war we have a whole lot of possibilities which were barred to us in peacetime. We must exploit them. The ghettos which are becoming available in the General Government are now being filled with the Jews who are being pushed out of the Reich, and after a certain time the process is then to renew itself here. Jewry has nothing to laugh about ... ".
5.175Evans argued that the references to Globocnik and to killings to the east of Lublin make clear that Goebbels was writing about Belzec and not about Auschwitz or Treblinka, as Irving claimed in his text. But the key omission in Hitler's War, according to Evans, is Goebbel's description of Hitler as "the persistent pioneer and spokesman of a radical solution". The radical solution cannot in the context be taken to refer to the policy of deporting Jews to the East. It must indicate that Hitler was aware what was going on in the extermination camps in the East. By deliberately omitting of that reference, Evans alleges that Irving perverts the true significance of the entry. There is absolutely no evidence that Goebbels "held his tongue". The overwhelming likelihood that the pair of them would have discussed enthusiastically what treatment was being meted out to the Jews in the General Government.
5.176The Defendants claim that, when Hitler is recorded as having spoken at this time of the annihilation (vernichtung) or extirpation (ausrottung) of the Jews he was indeed using the terms in a genocidal sense. Moreover the stance attributed to Hitler by Goebbels accords with sentiments previously expressed by Hitler, notably in his speech to the Gauleiter on 12 December 1941 (to which I have already referred) when Hitler spoke of the Jews "experiencing their own annihilation" if they should once more bring about a world war. It also accords with two of Goebbels's diary entries from this period. The entry for 20 March 1942 records Hitler as having remarked:The entry for 30 March 1942 includes the following passage:
"We speak in conclusion about the Jewish question. Here the Fuhrer remains now as before unrelenting. The Jews must get out of Europe, if necessary, with the application of the most brutal means".
"Thus I plead once again for a more radical Jewish policy, whereby I am just pushing at an open door with the Fuhrer".
5.177In both editions of Hitler's War, Irving asserts that Hitler was speaking of deporting the Jews from Europe and so must be taken to have been ignorant of the programme of extermination. But Evans, having analysed the quotations given by Irving together with other reports of statements made by Hitler on the topic, concluded that they show that, when Hitler talked of pushing the Jews out of Europe to the East, he was well aware of the genocidal fate which awaited them. Evans expressed the opinion that this was the radical solution which Hitler was advocating, in full knowledge of what it entailed. Hitler knew that Jews were being systematically killed in the East. Hitler spoke frequently of the murderous fate awaiting the Jews, using such terms as "annihilation" and "extermination" although he took care not to go into the detail of the programmes. Irving, so it is alleged, was at pains to suppress this body of evidence.
5.178Evans on behalf of the Defendants concluded that Irving's treatment of Goebbels's diary entry for 27 March 1942 wholly misrepresents Hitler's state of knowledge.

Mountains to Molehills: 'Unfortunately'
Published: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 4:10 p.m.
Duane Johnson of Hendersonville, responding to Susan Heath's prediction that disparities in the delivery of health care will worsen under the Affordable Health Care Act, says she unfortunately drew the wrong conclusion about emergency room care. "Emergency rooms are designed for emergencies, not primary care," Mr. Johnson points out. "Cases coming into emergency rooms are prioritized. When uninsured poor people go to emergency rooms for primary care, they are going to have a lower priority than heart attacks and broken bones. Also, emergency rooms are high-cost areas, therefore unsuited for primary care. Many uninsured are not able to pay the emergency room bill, and that cost gets passed on to those who can pay, thereby increasing the cost of hospital care. If lower-income folks have the health insurance Obamacare will provide, then they will be able to get their primary care at a doctor's office and not wait in the emergency room. In addition, Obamacare provided for expanded Medicaid at no cost to the states. This would greatly expand the health care options available to the people Ms. Heath sees in the emergency room. Unfortunately, Gov. Pat McCrory and the Republican Legislature refused to accept this opportunity, thereby keeping affordable health care from thousands of North Carolinians."
'THE VERY BEST BURGER': John and Phyllis Albree of Tryon Estates in Columbus, N.C., were paid a visit by their 15-year-old granddaughter, Dana, and for lunch, they drove down the mountain to Ike's Korner Grille in Spartanburg, S.C. "Dana is a lovely young lady and smart as a whip, and we decided we would treat her to a place she had never been exposed to," says Mr. Albree. "We built up the pre-meal conversation to the level that she could hardly wait during the ride from Columbus to Spartanburg. As we turned into the parking lot at Ike's, Dana giggled with wonderment, anticipating what was about to take place. We were very fortunate as we entered the building to find three seats at the counter facing the grill where Neil Rodgers holds forth as the master chef. He came over and greeted us, and then we were joined by his wife, Angela. Dana sat between the two of us and directly opposite the grill where all the culinary magic takes place. Dana was first to order from the menu, and she selected an Ike cheeseburger with bacon, grilled onions and a side of Neil's famous fries. Phyllis ordered the veggie burger with dill pickles and onions. My treat was the Ike cheeseburger with raw onion along with an order of onion rings. Our waitress, Liza Huskey, kept our drink glasses filled and was attentive to our every wish. We bid our goodbyes to the Rodgers and Liza and headed back to Columbus. Dana's frequent comment all the way home was, 'The very best burger I have ever had.' "
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: The next Carrotmob sponsored by the Environmental & Conservation Organization will take place Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Dancing Bear Toys at 418 N. Main St. in downtown Hendersonville. During the event, purchases will allow Margaret Kuhn, manager of the Hendersonville location, and her staff to promote the use of reusable cloth bags for large purchases during the holiday season.

This will be our third year of doing the bushwhacker tournament and I think people are more excited about drinking out of the trophy than winning any money. With having 64 guys this year our brackets will be perfect. However, I know some can't play which means first round byes which I'm ok with because It's totally random. Plus you get your handicap and it's only 5 bucks to play!
Sounds fun, sign me up!

9 Things You Didn't Know You Can Make in a Muffin Tin
Of course you don't want to take candy completely out of the Halloween equation—what fun would that be for your child?—but you may want to keep your costumed cutie away from treats that are truly horrible for her health. We've talked to nutritionists and dentists to reveal the 10 most cavity-causing, artery-clogging culprits, including some that only hit shelves for this haunted holiday. Read on to learn which candies to keep out of your munchkin's mouth and which tasty alternatives aren't as harmful.
This offender is filled with everything healthy eats shouldn't have—nougat, caramel and, of course, chocolate. "Chocolate is loaded with fat and calories," says Christen Cupples Cooper, RD, owner of Cooper Nutrition in Pleasantville, NY. Plus, "caramel is a serious source of tooth decay," says Cindy Flanagan, DDS, spokesperson for the General Academy of Dentistry. "It gets stuck in the crevices between teeth, which makes it impossible for saliva to wash it away." The result? Cavities. If your child must indulge her sweet tooth, "go for chocolates with a non-dense, airy filling, such as 3 Musketeers," recommends Jacqueline Santora Zimmerman, RD, a nutritionist in New York City.

Every high school loves to have bragging rights about its state championship teams. Those at Waterford High School have a new winner to crow about, but it's not for a sports-related achievement.
On Dec. 15, members of the Waterford FFA chapter's parliamentary procedure team at Waterford High School won the 2012 FFA state parliamentary procedure contest held on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
This feat was accomplished with a tremendous amount of practice, dedication and academic smarts.

Members of the Waterford FFA 2012 State Championship Parliamentary Procedure Team from left: Derek Huck, Katie Wagner, Jessica Coulter, Janice Whalin, Megan Whalin, James Whalin, Blake Campbell, Allison Adams, Katrina Ford and Megan Giffin. The team, students at Waterford High School, won the state title on Dec. 15.
According to Matt Hartline, who has coached the Waterford team for 11 years, practices started in October and were held from 6:30 to 8 a.m. Monday through Friday.
"What high schooler wants to do that?" Hartline laughingly said.
Students must be gifted academically, he added.
"It's a purely academic type of contest where you have to use your thinking," he said.
The first step toward the team's winning title was a sub-district contest held in Athens in mid-November, where team members placed first.
Fresh off a win there, the victorious team received a taste of humble pie when they competed at the district level in late November.
"It was the first time we've gotten second in at least five years," said Hartline, also the school's agricultural education teacher and FFA advisor. "It was great because it's what they needed...When you come in second, you come back down to earth."
With some humility and lots of practice under their belts, members of the "parli pro" team headed for the state contest in Columbus.
In the first heat, the Waterford High School team placed first, beating out one of their biggest rivals, Hinsdale High School in Athens by just nine points.
"That was just amazing," said team member Jessica Coulter. "They've always beaten us."
The rivalry reminded Katrina Ford, a parliamentary procedure team member, of one closer to home.
"It's like Waterford High School and Fort Frye High School," said Ford, 17, of Waterford.
Waiting to compete in the finals as one of five teams, "I was overwhelmed and nervous," said Ford.
Playing cards beforehand "to keep their minds occupied," Hartline said, the team did their final competition and waited for the results.
"Mr. Hartline was standing there trying not to smile, not to make eye contact with any of us," Coulter remembered.
In each heat the Waterford High team competed in at the sub-district, district and state level, team members were given four topic options to discuss during a mock meeting that must be limited to 15 minutes or less-using a strict format and following the well-known Robert's Rules of Order.
"They're topics you've never seen before," said Coulter, 18, of Waterford.
"You have to come up with things whether for or against (the topic)," she added.
For example, at the final competition at the state level, one topic involved discussing the pros and cons of an imaginary "teacher appreciation breakfast during FFA Week in 2013."
After the big state win for the Waterford team was announced, "We ran out and started hugging each other," Coulter said.
"People were crying, and other teams were congratulating us," she added.
For Ford, the best part of the day came when one of the judges approached team members afterwards.
"He told us we were flawless in both our meetings," said Ford.
"To win is an honor...but that makes you know that you did really, really well," she added.
Hartline shared his feelings about his team's big win.
"You're proud of them either way, if they win or lose," said Hartline. "It was very satisfying, they were almost flawless."
"They brought their 'A' game at this contest," he added.

WALNUT CREEK -- What happened to Anthony Banta Jr.?
That is the question Banta's family is asking after they learned Thursday afternoon that the 22-year-old was shot and killed by Walnut Creek police early that morning.
Banta's grandfather, Brett Grainger, he thinks his grandson may have had some sort of mental breakdown the morning he was shot, saying over and over that, "Anthony was not himself."
"You hear many stories about many people, hearing they were 'perfect,' but honestly, Anthony was," Grainger said. "This kid was upstanding. The most trouble he ever had was a speeding ticket."
Banta was shot and killed by Walnut Creek police after they were sent to the Diablo Pointe Apartments at 1450 Creekside Drive about 3:15 a.m. Thursday. Police didn't provide specific details about the incident, but Grainger said that the girlfriend of Banta's roommate called 911, telling dispatchers that Banta was attacking her boyfriend. Dispatchers could hear screaming in the background, police have said.
Grainger said Banta was armed with a knife when police arrived and that multiple officers shot his grandson several times.
Police did not return calls for comment, but at a news conference Thursday, Walnut Creek police Capt. Tim Schultz said officers confronted an armed Banta at the apartment and "were forced to shoot."
Banta, who worked as a hairdresser at Salonamour Hair Salon in Walnut Creek, was not an aggressive or threatening person, Grainger said, and before he apparently attacked his roommate, nothing about the evening had been unusual.
Banta had cooked dinner for his roommate and his girlfriend and then had gone for a walk before turning in for the night around 9 p.m., Grainger said he was told.
In a few hours, everything changed.
"He woke up, screaming and out of his mind," Grainger said. "He didn't recognize his roommate, and when his roommate asked him why he was choking him, he said, 'I'm not Anthony.'"
Grainger speculates Banta possibly had a brain tumor, or some sort of mental breakdown, adding that others in Banta's family have dealt with mental issues in the past.
Grainger also wants to know why police used such force on his grandson.
"They did not have to resort to (lethal force)," he said. "Why they couldn't have stopped him? I have no idea."
Grainger said Banta's family is still reeling from the news, and Banta's twin brother, who is in the U.S. Air Force and stationed in Germany, is flying back home.
Banta was a sweet, gentle man who told his grandfather repeatedly every time he called him that he loved him, said Grainger, who lives in Paradise, near where Banta and his brother grew up.
The grandson he knew was not the man with the knife police found Thursday morning, Grainger said.
"I had a great deal to do with his upbringing, and he was the son I always wanted and in a way, the wonderful son I got," Grainger said. "Our family will never be the same."

STANFORD -- One week into Stanford's training camp, it is clear the responsibility for replacing star tailback Stepfan Taylor won't fall on one or two players -- or even four.
"We're going to play five tailbacks just about every game," coach David Shaw said Saturday, a few hours after the Cardinal was slotted No. 4 in The Associated Press preseason poll.
Taylor, a fifth-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals, did more than amass a school-record 4,300 rushing yards during his career. He was outstanding in short yardage (40 rushing touchdowns), a deft pass catcher and a superb blocker.
Without him, the Cardinal plans to rotate tailbacks based on situations. Seniors Tyler Gaffney and Anthony Wilkerson are atop the depth chart, followed by an evenly matched group of three: Ricky Seale, Remound Wright and Barry Sanders.
"It's a healthy competition; we're making each other better," said Wilkerson, who has 914 rushing yards in three seasons. "Stepfan didn't make many mental errors. We're all good backs, and we can (match) what he did or even do better."
Gaffney returned to Stanford in April after spending last year in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. He hit .297 at the Class-A level but decided that his heart -- and future -- were in football. He contacted Shaw over the winter and participated in the second half of spring practice and immersed himself in the playbook.
"With our skill sets, we (complement) each other," Gaffney said of the tailbacks. "May the best back prevail."
And if the Sept. 7 season opener against San Jose State arrives without a "best back" prevailing?
Look for Seale, Wright and Sanders to play when the situation suits their skills. But the bulk of the carries probably will go to Gaffney and Wilkerson, who have combined for 1,705 career rushing yards.
"They haven't had the volume of carries, but both average 4 to 6 yards a carry," Shaw said. "I think both guys are going to have great seasons."
It is the highest the Cardinal has been ranked to start the season and the program's 48th consecutive week in the Top 25.
The contenders are juniors James Vaughters and Blake Lueders.
"Both play with the attitude that we want to play with," Shaw said. "They know I don't care who starts, because they're both going to play."
The five-hour event begins with a scrimmage at 10 a.m. -- it is the only public workout of training camp -- and includes a fan fest. Players will sign autographs at 1:30 p.m. in Stanford Stadium.

American Hard Maple Blocks - "the real deal"
This Kit is designed to supply the blocks recommended in Lester Walker's "Block Building for Children" which is sold elsewhere on this site. Like all books of this type, it starts with a list of pieces that are required to build the projects in the book. Included are the optional finials that the book recommends as well as the large quarter arches required to make certain buildings. The Walker Kit is an excellent kit for children 3 years old. At this age, children are able to stack blocks on top of one another, make towers, and enjoy seeing them fall over. They are able to understand abstraction a good deal better, and will recognize that differently shaped triangles are still triangles. They love to play with their parents and make things together. They are first learning how a building might be assembled.
The kit does not include the book.
Ages 3+

STOCKTON - A 37-year-old woman was walking through Mattie Harrell Park at West Eighth and South Lincoln streets about 1:15 p.m. Thursday when she was approached by two people, police said.
A teenage boy approached the victim from behind, pushed her to the ground, held a pocketknife against her and tried to yank a gold necklace off her neck, authorities said. The victim removed the necklace and gave it to the boy, who then fled on foot with a woman.
The robbers were described as a black boy, 14 to 15 years old, standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, with brown eyes, a sweatshirt and jeans; and a black woman, 24 to 25 years old, standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, with green pants, police said.

A discographic profile of the talented Puerto Rican pianist, arranger, producer and veteran musical director of Sonora Ponceña.
Profile: Papo Lucca
by John Child (
LUCCA, Papo
(and Sonora Ponceña)
Enrique Arsenio Lucca Jr., '46, Ponce, Puerto Rico) Exceptional pianist (also plays vibes, tres, synthesiser, flugelhorn, percussion), one of salsa's most ingenious arrangers and producers, composer, musical director of Sonora Ponceña (Son Orchestra of Ponce) since '68. His father Enrique 'Quique' Lucca organised two trumpet-led Orquesta Internacional '44, renamed Sonora Ponceña '54 for its first recording; Puerto Rico's longest running musical institution has never ossified, adding a third trumpet '50s, and a fourth mid-'70s; Quique still led the band in the '90s. A child prodigy, Papo began playing conga at age four; started attending Ponce's Free School of Music at age six, studied piano, reeds and theory. Made debut with Ponceña '54; appeared on Ponce-born singer Ruth Fernández's TV show mid-'50s; made recording debut '57 with Ponceña backing bolero stars Felipe Rodríguez and Davilita (Pedro Ortiz Dávila) on
Al Compás de Las Sonoras
on Marvela; wrote first arrangement for band c. '61; attended the University of P. R. and P. R.'s Conservatory of Music.
Ponceña's albums (all on Inca label) incl.
Hachero Pa' Un Palo
Fuego En El 23!
(both title tracks were hit covers of Arsenio Rodríguez classics),
Algo De Locura
(incl. big hit 'Acere Ko' penned by Patato and Totico),
Navidad Criolla
(Xmas LP reissued '78),
Desde Puerto Rico a Nueva York
Sonora Ponceña
'69-72, all with band sporting a three trumpet section; lead singers were Luigi Texidor (
Guillermo Texidor, '40, P. R.; joined band '63) and Tito Gómez (
Humberto Luis Gómez, '48, Juana Díaz, P. R.; joined '68); their '70s LPs were made in NYC, prod. by Larry Harlow '71-5. Trumpeter Joe Rodríguez took Gómez and percussionist Miguel 'Mikey' Ortiz with him '73 to form La Terrifica, new band debuted with LP
'74 on International prod. by Harlow; Gómez departed, briefly joined Ray Barretto's band, made solo album
Para Gozar Borinquen
'77 on Inca prod. by Harlow. Miguelito Ortiz replaced Gómez on
Sabor Sureño
'74; '75 saw 'best of' album
Lo Mejor De Sonora Ponceña
, title tracks and other hits from '69-72 albums, and
Tiene Pimienta
(with another hit title track) arr. by Papo. On
Musical Conquest
'76 Papo arr. and cond., co-prod. with Louie Ramírez, with Luis "Perico" Ortiz as mus. dir. (incl. big hit "El Pio Pio" written by Mexican duo Lobo y Melón); ex-La Terrifica lead singer Yolanda Rivera joined on
El Gigante Del Sur
'77, with Ramírez as prod., Papo as assistant prod. and arr. (except disco-oriented "Nocturnal," arr. by Perico, who also played trumpet on it); this LP was Texidor's last: he shared lead vocals on Bobby Valentín's
Musical Seduction
'78 on Bronco, appeared on Puerto Rico All Stars' LPs '76-7, Tito Puente albums
Homenaje A Beny More Vols. 1
'78-9 on Tico, made solo debut with
El Negrito del Sabor
'79 on Nuestra.
Though presaged earlier, Ponceña's current distinctive style began to crystallize: crisp, lucid, restrained yet swinging, with intricate trumpet textures, on
'78, regarded as one of their best albums, all arr. by Papo, who now took over as producer with trumpets increased from three to four (Papo admits he was inspired by Conjunto Casino, the popular Cuban band of the '40s and '50s); hit track "Jubileo 20" marked band's 20th anniversary, another hit was "Moreno Soy" ("I Am Brown"), Papo's arrangement of "Naci Moreno" ("Born Brown," performed by Texidor on Valentín's
Musical Seduction
): a testimony of P. R.'s racially mixed identity. Gómez came back to sing lead, replacing Texidor on this album only; but he sang in the chorus on next LP
La Orquesta De Mi Tierra
'78, before departing to work with Tito Valentín, La Amistad, Rubby Haddock, Grupo Niche, then went solo again '91. Ponceña joined Celia Cruz on her
La Ceiba
on Vaya and performed with her in TV film
'79, released hits compilation
'79; from '80 they recorded in P. R.:
New Heights
'80 incl. Dizzy Gillespie's "Night In Tunisia" and Toñito Ledeé (
Salinas, P. R.;
28 May '86, P. R., in a car accident) joined Yolanda and Ortiz as a lead singer, Papo co-arr. with Elias Lopés.
Unchained Force
'80 was dedicated to long-serving band members, trumpeters Ramón A. Rodríguez "El Cordobes" (Tony), Delfin Pérez "El del Café," bassist Antonio Santaella (Tato). Papo arr.
Night Raider
'81, incl. cover of "Cuestiones De Amor" by composer, arranger, bandleader, pianist Adalberto lvarez (
'48, Havana, Cuba), who then led Son 14; Papo is a devotee of lvarez, so much so that covers of his songs appear on seven out of eight of Ponceña's albums between '81 and '92; his "Soledad" was incl. on
'82 (both songs from Son 14's
Son Como Son
'81 on Areito), which also incl. "Aunque Te Quiero" by Cuban Joseíto González, leader of Orquesta Rumbavana, from their eponymous LP on Areito. Yolanda was replaced by ex-La Terrifica singer Héctor "Pichy" Pérez on
'84, incl. two lvarez tunes, and Papo played flugelhorn on Woody Shaw's "Woody's Blue." Yolanda moved to Miami, sang in the chorus of Gabino Pampini's band Fuerza Noble, shared lead vocals on Rubby Haddock's
Otra Vez!
'88 on TTH and
Salsa Tropical
'90 on Music Village, and fronted Hermanos Rivera Orchestra '90.
They reworked, updated hits incl. 'Jubileo 20' to 'Jubileo 30' on
'85, on which Ortiz was replaced by Manuel "Mannix" Martínez; the same year two compilations were also issued to mark 30th anniversary.
On The Right Track
'88 incl. a tribute poem and song to the late Toñito Ledeé; the band embraced the salsa romántica sound on
Into The 90's
'90 (Papo uses Willie Rosario's disparaging term salsa monga, meaning: "flaccid salsa," to describe romantic salsa), the first made (partly) in their own Pianníssimo Studios, Ponce. Pichy departed '90 for a brief stint with Tommy Olivencia; Ponceña made their UK debut May '91 with Pichy replacement Luisito Carrión, an alumnus of Orquesta Kaffé, Julio "Gunda" Merced's Salsa Fever, La Terrifica, Bobby Valentín and Don Perignon; Carrión sang on
Merry Christmas
'91, then made his solo debut with
Y Ahora Voy Yo!
'92 on MP; Pichy returned on
Papo's solo project
Latin Jazz
'93 on Fania had a poor critical reception; '93's NY Salsa Festival at Madison Square Garden celebrated Ponceña's 40th anniversary, they closed the show and were joined by Texidor and Yolanda for a retrospective of their classics. Their 40th anniversary outing
Birthday Party
'93 was heralded as a return to the standard of their best albums of the '70s and '80s; Texidor and Yolanda rejoined the band on
'95. Solo collaborations with Azuquita (
Los Originales
'96 on Tonga) and Pete "El Conde" Rodríguez (the bolero set
Pete y Papo
'96 on Fania) were followed by a guest spot on the somewhat disappointing
Papo Lucca y Alfredo de la Fé & El Sexteto Típica de Cuba
'97 on Fania. Vocalists on '98 Ponceña comeback
On Target
on Jerry Masucci Music/ Sony were newcomer Lenny "Leo" Figueroa, Pichy and longstanding members Edwin "Caneca" Rosas and Daniel "Danny" Dávila; instrumental cut "Tanenbaum A La Lucca" was composed and arr. by Puerto Rican keyboardist Israel Tanenbaum, co-prod. and co-arr. on various albums by Colombia's Orquesta Guayacán.
Papo worked in one or more capacities on albums with Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, Ismael Quintana (incl. the notable collaboration
Mucho Talento
'83 on Vaya), Cheo Feliciano, Justo Betancourt, Ernie Agosto, Adalberto Santiago, Nelson González y su Orquesta Revelación, Los Hermanos Moreno (he prod. their commendable debut
No Me Vuelvo Enamorar
'87 on W. G. International; reissued on TTH), Glen Vargas, others. Papo replaced Harlow '76 as pianist with Fania All Stars, made his UK debut with them the same year, played on many of their LPs incl.
Habana Jam
'79 (with live version of "Naci Moreno" sung by Texidor, piano solo by Papo), as well as

Did You Know?
The Latin prefix com-, meaning "with, together, or jointly," is a bit of a chameleon - it has a tricky habit of changing its appearance depending on what it's next to. If the word it precedes begins with "l," "com-" becomes "col-." In the case of collaborate, com- teamed up with laborare ("to labor") to form Late Latin collaborare ("to labor together"). Colleague, collect, and collide are a few more examples of the "com-" to "col-" transformation. Other descendants of laborare in English include elaborate,- _laboratory, and labor itself.
Origin and Etymology of collaborate
Late Latin collaboratus, past participle of collaborare to labor together, from Latin com- + laborare to labor — more at labor
First Known Use: 1871
