President Obama's SOU address no dish of quiche
Interesting blog posts today and yesterday by colleagues Mike Hashimoto and Jim Mitchell anticipating President Obama's State of the Union speech tonight.
Not to pile on, but I too am skeptical that tonight's speech will do much to change the course of our political dialogue. I hope I'm wrong; I hate to think of myself as a pessimist or a cynic. But speeches like these are tough to make original or memorable or inspirational.
I remember years ago (I think it was about 1985) when then-Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt devoted his entire State of the State speech to one issue – children's issues. I was a lowly legislative reporter at the time and helped my more senior colleagues cover the speech and reaction to it. Now this was a memorable speech: Babbitt called for health care for poor pre-school children, more money to enforce child support payments and to crack down on child abuse, expanded day care, etc. It was really quite revolutionary – both the topic and the fact that it was the ONLY topic of the speech.
The next day, The Arizona Republic published an editorial titled "Babbitt's Dish of Quiche" and accused the governor of ignoring the more important, meat-and-potatoes sorts of issues that the paper's editorial board felt governors should wrestle with, issues like prisons, roads, energy, water. The implication, of course, was that real men don't eat quiche and that Babbitt, by singling out such a soft social issue, wasn't a real governor.
For a not-real-governor, Babbitt, as I recall, got pretty much everything he asked for out of the Legislature that year – including expanded health coverage for poor children and millions more for child support and to combat child abuse. Now that's the kind of not-real-power I bet most governors then and now aspire to…. In fact, the rap on Babbitt in Arizona ever since has been how he, as a Democrat, pretty much ran circles around a Republican Legislature in a Republican state…. But I digress….
Back to President Obama and his State of the Union address tonight. Tune into this blog tonight and tomorrow morning to join in the discussion of the president's sixth State of the Union address. Members of this Editorial Board will share their thoughts about it here as part of the process of shaping this newspaper's editorial about the speech.
Here's betting it won't be headlined a Dish of Quiche.

Jack Nicklaus, Part II
As promised, The Journal presents the second part of excerpts from my interview with Jack Nicklaus. He discusses his work designing courses and how environmentalism has changed it for the better, golf's international boom and how closely he does (or doesn't) follow the FedEx Cup. (Here's the original Long Toss interview wsj.com ran Wednesday).
The Wall Street Journal: You've been building golf courses for 40 years now. How would you describe your architectural style these days and how it has evolved?
Mr. Nicklaus: When I started out, because I only had one or two ways to do a course, I tried, regardless of what piece of ground I was on, to put that style into to my golf course. Mostly I built golf courses the way I played golf, which was left-to-right. But I learned very rapidly that people wanted to see more than just the way I played golf and that I had to balance up what I was doing, right-to-left, left-to-right, etc. Soon I had two or three ways to do courses, and I probably have 15 or 20 ways to do courses today. Things just evolve, you learn, you see new things. For instance, you discover that some areas have soft rain, some have thunderstorms, so you have to watch out for the way you do your bunkers as a consequence of that.
I don't think in 20 years I've ever gone to look at anybody else's golf courses. I just see the ones I've played when I played tournament golf. So my courses pretty much reflect my own ideas, but I see pictures and I say, "Gee, so that's being accepted." Now, all of a sudden, the look is to be more natural and rustic, which I love. Going to Scotland for the British Open was always one of my favorite things to do. We used to laugh about it. I might be playing with Arnold [Palmer] or Gary [Player], and we'd say, "Can you imagine if we did something like this in the states? Where is the nearest tree they would hang you from?" If I would have done the golf courses that were seen today 25 years ago, they would've run me out of town on a rail.
Now they will accept it. So it's not very difficult to get a different look. It's just making sure that you get what the client wants. You've got to make them so they are playable. And I think that the more natural look today, as you see different golf courses, is becoming more accepted, is becoming more of an environmentally friendly look. That requires less water, it requires less fertilizer, less mowing, less everything. So do I like that? Absolutely I like that. Could we have gotten away with it 25 years ago? Absolutely not.
WSJ: How would you rate golf today in terms of its environmental responsibility? What has changed most dramatically since you started designing?
Mr. Nicklaus: If you take Muirfield Village Golf Club, which is a golf course I did in the early 70s, I don't think environmentally I would be able to build it on that site today, or if I did it would be very, very different. It has three main streams coming down to the property that connect up and go off in one place. Today, the areas for those streams would be considered wetlands, and we probably wouldn't be able to do what we did. But in those days, it was all primitive, it wasn't even thought of that way.
So environmental regulations have changed, and I think for the better, frankly, because I think we should work with the environment. I mean, why are we outside? Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together. People don't want to go to the dump and have a picnic, they want to go out to a beautiful place and enjoy their day. And so I think our job is to try to take the environment, take what the good Lord has given us, and expand upon it or enhance it, without destroying it.
So the stricter regulations don't bother me in the least. I enjoy having them. They let me know what I have to work around or work with. In the old days, they never could define it. All they would say is, "No, you can't do that." We would say, "What can we do?" And they would say, "Gee, I don't know, but you can't do that." Today, they say, no you can't do that but this is what you can do. The environmentalists have gotten more sophisticated.
WSJ: So it's harder to build a course today but at least you know what you can and can't do?
Mr. Nicklaus: Actually, it's not harder today, it's easier because you know what you can do. And when I go outside the United States, where more than 80% of our work is done these days, I apply U.S. environmental regulations to those sites for the simple reason that in 10 years or whenever, when they catch up environmentally with what we're doing in the United States, I don't want them to turn around and say, "Gee, look at what Nicklaus did to this land. He shouldn't have done that."
WSJ: You have projects under development in 44 different countries, 25 of which are new to you. Where is golf course development the hottest right now and where do you think it's going to be the hottest five years from now?
Mr. Nicklaus: Obviously it has slowed in the United States. I've got quite a few projects in the United States but they have all kind of slowed down or are on hold or are kind of waiting until the economy turns a little bit. But the places where the markets haven't slowed down very much are the Middle East. And Russia. Russia and some of the Eastern Bloc countries have been very strong.
We have approximately seven projects in Russia. There is a lot of wealth in Russia right now and they have discovered the game of golf. Some of them are developments for high-wealth individuals, but some of them are for public golf. The mayor of Moscow wants to do 15 public golf courses and he has hired us to be his consultant. We would do some of the courses and bring in other architects on the others. We are also helping them organize and teach their young people how to play the game. His goal, he told me, is to do in golf what they have done in tennis over there.
Some Russians are investing in golf outside of Russia, also. We've got a project in Turkey that is a Russian project. It's a very big Russian resort. As a matter of fact, one of the hotels right next to the project we are doing is called the Kremlin [Palace].
The Caribbean and Mexico have also still been pretty strong. Why, I'm not too sure. These projects are resorts, so people must still be going on vacations.
Korea and China are still pretty strong. And India is a growing new market. Vietnam has become a big market. As a company we have probably six or seven projects in Vietnam. But even those are slower than we would like. I think that's just part of the times.
WSJ: Is the slowdown in the golf development business caused by the general economic slowdown, or is it more specifically related to the housing market and mortgage problems?
Mr. Nicklaus: I'm probably not smart enough to answer that but my guess is just general. Some of it is housing, some of it is the mortgage market, probably, but not as much. Most of what we do, generally speaking, is middle class and up, which isn't as affected. We actually do a fair amount of public golf, which would be kind of for the masses. India and China both have about 300 million people in the middle class, so they do have some expendable income, but both countries also have about 1 billion people in poverty, so it's a different world there than we are living in over here, and I don't understand it totally. But I do understand that people do want to play golf.
WSJ: If the Olympics choose golf as a sport for the 2016 Games, what practical effect will that have on the game?
Mr. Nicklaus: I don't think it will have a huge practical effect in the United States. Would I have loved to have played in the Olympics? Absolutely. I think it would've been a great honor to represent my country that way. I think it would have been fun. But the big issue here is that the Olympic boards in most countries are funded by government. If golf were to get into the Olympics, it would be absolutely huge for the game on a worldwide basis, because all of a sudden governments would need to build golf courses, they would need to be able to teach their people how to play this strange game that is played around the world. Obviously from our point of view as a business, that's good. And we probably have a leg up internationally because we are doing so much international work. But it would just be good for the game itself, and I'm trying to help spread the word wherever I go that we want golf in the Olympics.
WSJ: What do you think about the LPGA's English-language requirement situation? Was that an ill-advised policy from the start, or a misunderstood one?
Mr. Nicklaus: I don't think it came out the way it was intended. And the LPGA has softened its position since it came out. I know what they were after, but I thought it was a little harsh when they say, "If you're going to play our tour, you've got to speak English." There is probably a moderate way to accomplish that, but I don't really know the answer. It's not really my place to get into it. I just hope they come to the right middle ground which accomplishes what they want but also doesn't put such a burden on an international girl when she comes here to play.
WSJ: Regarding the FedEx Cup Playoffs on the PGA Tour, there a perception that it's not gaining as much traction as it should or could. Do you have any insight into that?
Mr. Nicklaus: Last year, in its first year, it probably had pretty good traction. This year, with Tiger not playing – of course, every golf tournament loses traction when Tiger is not playing – maybe the interest hasn't quite been there as much. I would be hard-pressed to tell you who's leading. I assume Vijay is, because he's won two tournaments.
WSJ: He is, by a substantial margin. In fact, he's guaranteed to win so long as he completes all four rounds in the Tour Championship next week.
Mr. Nicklaus: Really? Well, I just don't know that much about it. It would seem to me that if you're going to have your year-end Tour Championship, it shouldn't be decided before it starts. Maybe that's why it's losing out, but I'm not really following it that closely.

Robertson carried this "n*gg*r" sign at a Texas tea party in March of 2009 and was asked to leave
Even Mother Jones reported in January that Dale Robertson is not and never was a tea party leader and that the mainstream media had "lost its edge" in linking Robertson to the movement.
But, that didn't stop liberal media hacks from repeating the lie that Robertson was a leader in the Tea Party movement.
Wash Post Quotes Bogus Tea Party Leader
Houston has a problem.
Rather, the Houston tea party groups have a problem — a character named Dale Robertson. He is a self-appointed "leader" of the tea party movement, most famous for carrying a sign at the 3/27 tea party in Houston with the word "niggar" on it.
Not surprisingly, he was asked to leave.
Unfortunately, the press seems to find him newsworthy. He continues to show up in mass media professing to be the "founder" of the tea party movement. From his website:
Dale, is the founder of the modern day Tea Party. Dale Robertson, a public speaker, a family man with a wife and 5 children, has lead Tea Party rallies across America from its inception.
He owns the website TeaParty.org and has even hired publicist Tim Bueler to increase his profile.
So who exactly is this guy? And what makes him a leader of the tea party movement to substantiate the publicist's claim? For one thing, he claims to be a hero, and because of this declaration he believes he should be considered a leader:
Dale, is the progeny of a long list of heroes, being 1 of 5 children he assumed the responsibility of the protector of the family after his father's early demise. His father was a decorated Korean War hero suffering as a double amputee Veteran. As a child, Dale proved himself by assisting his step-father, a decorated Vietnam veteran, who suffered from the result of his tour of duty. While caring for the family, Dale was an inspirational player in one of the most successful high school sport teams. His history included facing down ethnic gang members while protecting the innocent and the U.S. flag.
Unfortunately, Dale is very much not a hero to those who first encountered him in February of last year. He has been described as a fake, a con artist, and worse by frustrated tea party groups across the land. Houston's, in particular, is so upset at being associated with the man that they sent out the following press release:
1. He is NOT a member of our Leadership team.
2. He owns a website with which we have never been affiliated.
3. He has never been a part of organizing any of the Tea Party rallies in the Houston area, or any other area that we can find.
4. We addressed some issues involving him back in April. Here it is on our website, where Mr. Robertson himself comments: http://houstontps.org/?p=318
5. We do not choose to associate with people that use his type of disgusting language.
Robertson and his publicist encourage the MSM to consider it a mere squabble between various factions involved in the tea party movement. But quick research on the internet shows that no one in the actual tea party movement wants anything to do with the man.
Needless to say, left-wing sites have been repeatedly drawing attention to him as an example of racism in the tea party.
Dennis Myers quotes a frustrated tea party member:
On one tea party-oriented site, a David Weigel (a tea party leader?) wrote, "The nice treatment of Robertson in the Washington Times … demonstrates just how hard it can be to deny someone "leader" status in the tea parties."
The MSM was in search of a means to verify what they already believed — that tea party members are racist hicks (paying no heed to the movement's sizable minority population). Dale Robertson provided them with that bugbear. Mr.Robertson clearly enjoys his time in the limelight. He does not seem to care how he got there or what kind of damage he is doing to the movement he professes to lead. Dale's latest fundraising email showing Obama as a pimp has not helped his reputation, nor that of the movement.
We shall see how long it takes before the tea party movement finally gets the mainstream media to avoid this man. They have, for the most part, corrected the blogosphere. But they have a lot work left to do to marginalize this man.

Uh-oh, lol, damage control! Looks like the Tea Baggers are going P.C.! Sorry but when i grew up we called a spade, a spade. I happen to know for a fact that the Tea Party movement is motivated partially by racism. As well as Patriotism, dislike of the status quo of our government, dislike of the current President, etc... Stand up and be proud of who you are people! Political Correctness has ruined this Country. Looks like the Tea Party isnt far behind.

Master Thesis
An Automatic Generation System for Kanji Fonts -- Implementation of Precise Generation System of Kanji Variants by Combination of Kanji Parts and Strokes
This paper presents a Kanji font generating system which has an ability to generate more than fifty thousand Kanjis by computers.
Conventional systems for automatic font generating systems have a tendency to generate pre-designed basis fonts which are used for human font designing. No such systems provides automatic generation methods for Kanji variant fonts.
Kanji parts are constructed with skeleton data represented by parameters of a few dimensions, and are combined to generate Kanji fonts. In this paper, the possibility of processing extended Kanjis are investigated which have not been able to be generated by computer. Then, model for guarantee information exchange of Kanji font is proposed on huge computer networks such as the Internet. This model consists of a font server placed on a computer network, and all of the computers on the network can get Kanji fonts to generate by the system.
In this paper, the engine of the font generating system was implemented, and was evaluated by generating various Kanji fonts. A basic font server was also implemented, and was used as a model of a font server on the computer network.

Estudiantes said Jesus Quintero was injured by flying glass when stones were thrown at the bus by rival fans, breaking windows, following the match away to Llaneros de Guarane.
Photographs showed that the 18-year-old player, who had scored his first professional goal in his team's previous match, suffered a cut around his eye as well as injuries to his lips and hands.
The club said the operation was a success and Quintero would not suffer long-term damage.
The Venezuelan Football Union (AUFP) described the incident in the town of Guarane as "deplorable".
"We hope that the relevant authorities take action over these type of incidents which continue to stain our football," said the association on Twitter.
Llaneros won the match 3-1 in the Clausura championship, the second stage of the Venezuelan season.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 2.5 in 1 review
Colors colliding in an absolute dizzying array are what greet your eyes during a game of Collide-O (Playroom Entertainment, 2006 - Maureen Hiron). It's a real-time game in which players attempt to quickly place their cards on the table in a hurry. Now, I'm normally not a fan of this type of game, but I was curious as to how it would go across with the teenagers that I teach and work with. The "Vertigo" color of the box seemed a bit garish, but I figured that the matching of colors would go over well.
And some teenagers certainly enjoyed the game, but at the same time others pretty much refused to play it again. The problem? - players who are faster with their eyes and quicker to figure out which cards to play will ALWAYS do better than their opponents. Someone who has slower eye-to-hand coordination, even if it's slightly slower than the other player, can easily get frustrated about how poorly they do. Played amongst people with equal skills, Collide-O can be fun, and I saw several teenagers who really had a great time. But others, including me, were a bit disillusioned by the game, and I personally would only play it as a passing diversion.
Collide-O is made up of a deck of ninety cards, each divided into three sections. The sections are either one solid color or a striped pattern, denoting two different colors, or a multi-color striped pattern, which has all five colors. The colors are green, blue, black, yellow, and red. One card is set face down in the middle of the table, and then all other players are dealt the rest of the cards evenly into face down stacks in front of them. The card in the middle is flipped up, and the game begins.
Players immediately grab the top five cards from their deck and take them into their hand. They then simultaneously try to play their cards on the table. They must match the card in the middle by laying one of their cards so that it covers two sections with matching colors. For example, if the card in the middle is red, green, and blue/black; and I have a yellow, red/green, and green card, I can place the card on the table, placing it so that the green section covers the green card in the middle, and the red/green section covers the red section. (This might sound a bit convoluted, but it's really simple to see.) What this means is that there are always two places to place cards, and they extend outwards during the game. Players can replace cards from their hand with cards from the stack at any time, but must never have more than five cards in their hand.
Everyone is playing cards at the same time, so occasionally incorrect cards are played. Any player can challenge another; and if correct, the person who made the mistake may only have a maximum of four cards in their hand, instead of five. Play continues until one player has only one card in their hand and no cards in their stack.
Some comments on the game…
1.) Components: The game is simply a deck of cards that are split into three different sections, each a color (or more). As any color game of this type might be expected, color blind folk are going to find this one impossible to play. There are cards with red and green striped sections with various colors next to each other; and in a game in which speed is required this can be a bit difficult. Symbols would have mucked up the game, so it looks like Collide-O is going to be out for those with vision impairment. Others might find the game a bit garish, as I did on first impressions, but the bright, stark colors do allow the gameplay to work well. All the quality cards are easily stored in a double-sized cardboard box with plastic insert.
2.) Rules: The rulebook actually has five pages (I say "actually" because the game takes all of thirty seconds to teach), with large color illustrations, including examples of what "not" to do (things I would have thought obvious). Showing how cards lay on top of each other is basically all I need to do to get a game going, and players quickly grasp the rules from there.
3.) Speed: If you don't like games in which players all play at once, well - stop reading now, you aren't going to like this game. If any game put a large emphasis on playing quickly, it's Collide-O. There's no way to really play strategically in the game. You can try to play a card that will allow you to play another card, but most likely another player will play a card first in the short span of time it took you to formulate your clever tactics. Speed, speed, speed; and while that may turn off some folk (I can't say I was enthralled), it at the same time excites others.
4.) Age: This game really worked well with teenagers, maybe because they didn't have to play a game with reading or numbers - simply colors, or maybe because it was fast. Some of them, who think more slowly than others, were very unhappy with the game; and I quickly steered them towards something else. But the rest of the teens played game after game after game, trying to out-speed the others.
5.) Fun Factor: I really wasn't impressed with the gameplay of Collide-O, because I felt that it simply rewards the faster player. The person who can spit cards out of their hand onto the table as fast as possible is going to be the most likely candidate for winning. Teenagers and kids are going to find this thrilling, for the most part, but I don't think adults will be as excited. Yes, it might be entertaining fare for a brief moment, but I'd rather play the same style of game (almost domino like) in a slightly slower format.
And that's the gist of it - if you like speed, check it out; if you prefer a modicum of thought, avoid it. Collide-O will always have a place on my shelf because it delights teenagers, and I work with them in various situations. For folks like me, pick up a copy. But my gaming group will never see the game - it's too simple yet non-fulfilling for them. Not everything needs to be done quickly.

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has taken his share of heat for not returning this season after being medically cleared to do so by the team. While he's seen his share of detractors, there have also been a few people – including teammate Joakim Noah – to step up and support Rose. You can add another to the list of supporters, as Rose's former coach John Calipari took to the airwaves to back up his former star player at Memphis.
Calipari – who's now the coach of Kentucky – was on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland recently when he was asked about Rose and his 2012-13 season. Here's what he had to say.
"An NBA player's body, if he does anything to hurt his own body he's wrecking his own career. You let them listen to their bodies.
"The second thing is, I've talked to Chicago Bulls management, I know all those guys… and you know what? They're fine. They didn't want him to go back. As a matter of fact, they wanted to announce he wasn't coming back, but Derrick didn't want to do it because he thought if there is any chance for me to come back…
"But let me ask you this: At the end of the day after they got going, and they were going to play Miami in the second (round), what good would it have done other than he could have got hurt? Tell me what good it could have done?
"So all this stuff, is all fine, all I can tell you is he's a great kid, the Bulls supported him. I support him because I'm not gonna (say), 'Yea, head out there, why doesn't he come back this is crazy the doctor cleared him, okay now he got hurt.' How do you feel now?…
"Knowing him the way he is, knowing he is a great kid and somebody who probably in the worst way wanted to play, but just was so tentative he wasn't right. He didn't trust it yet and you gotta respect that."
It's hard to argue that if this were handled differently it wouldn't have been nearly as big of a deal. But throughout the Bulls' impressive playoff run, Rose's potential return hung over the team and its fans. It will be nice when we can once again talk about Rose's on-court performance next season.

1960 Ford Galaxie news, pictures, specifications, and information
A full-size vehicle built in the U.S. by the Ford Motor Company, the Ford Galaxie was sold from 1959 until 1974. The name was used for only the top models in the Ford's full-size range from 1959 until 1961. By 1962 the Galaxie name was assigned to the lowest-priced full-size Ford. The Galaxie was introduced in 1959 and this was the first initial for the Galaxie model line. The six Galaxie models included the Galaxie Club Victoria, Galaxie Town Sedan, Galaxie Town Victoria, Galaxie Club Sedan, Galaxie Sunliner Convertible and the Galaxie Sunliner Retractable. Each of these models came with their very own features that ranged from trim all the way to ornamentation and to their retractable top that folded into the Galaxie's trunk.
'59 Fords were advertised as having 'Thunderbird elegance' and they featured all new styling. Basically the same vehicle, the '59 Galaxie and Fairlane were virtually impossible to tell apart other than the ornamentation and model name designation. Both vehicles featured a mass amount of stainless steel and chrome body trim and exquisite three-tone cloth interior trim. The Skyliner Retractable was probably the best remembered with its all-steel hardtop that effortlessly moved into the trunk to transform it to a convertible in just 60 seconds.
Options that were available on the '59 Galaxie included AC, deluxe rear deck antenna, visored spotlight mirror, flying elipse hood ornament, sunray multi-colored wheel covers, power front seats, steering, windows and 'swift sure' power brakes. Engines available for the 1959 model year were the 292-V8 with 200 horsepower, 223 Mileage Maker six cylinder at 145 hp, 332 Thunderbird Special and 353 Thunderbird Special at 300 hp. Options for transmission include a three speed conventional drive with an overdrive option, Fordomatic Drive two speed automatic, overdrive, and three speed Cruise-O-Matic Drive automatic. Very well liked, the '59 Galaxie continued to be so for many years of Galaxie evolution.
For the 1960 year, the very popular Starliner body style was featured as an addition to the lineup. The Starliner was a dashing sports car sedan that came with a 'rakish roofline' with no door post that featured an open air effect throughout the car. The most unique and considered to be the 'raciest' of Ford's larger-than-normal '60's vehicles, the Ford Galaxie Starliner and Sunliner were unveiled and were now nearly six inches longer in length, almost 200 lbs heavier and nearly five inches wider. The styling was sleek and graceful and helped to hide some of the weight and was also aided with a sloped hood, simple grille, chrome-edged fender-lines, straight A-pillars and horizontal tailfins. The Starliner has always been noted for its elegant hardtop that featured very narrow B-pillars.
The Sunliner led the top-line Galaxie lineup in 1960, but the Starliner was unique with a pillar-less semi-fastback two-door hardtop that replaced the '59's ultra popular square-roof version. Selling really competitively, the Starliner was unfortunately not keeping up to Ford's standards, and for 1961 a conventional hardtop coupe was reinstated this year. Starliner sales plummeted, and the model didn't return to the lineup. For 1961 the Starliner featured a bullet-embellished front bumper and afterburner taillights. Customers could choose over a dozen interior color options, meanwhile the interiors varied from model to model.
For '61, the basic Fords were lighter and mildly shorter, the hood was reshaped, and nicely made over with a concave grille, the body-sides were more rounded and the large round tail lamps were returned. Ford gravitated toward 'Total Performance' in these years including the 1960 'Interceptor 360' version of the 352 V8 and then the following year with enlarged 390 big-block offering up to 401 bhp. Both of these options were low-volume options and today these are quite desirable options. The same is said of the '60 and '61 Ford Galaxie Starliner and Sunliner which are also desirable options.
Some of the selling points of the '60 and '61 Galaxie Starliner and Sunliner was the plush ride, the room and spaciousness of the cabin, the ample club support and the fact that its 'moving up strongly in value'. Other pluses were the smooth V8 power-teams, the swooping styling and that fact that it is still quite affordable to own. The downsides of both of these cars are the fact that it's quite difficult to find originals still in good condition and the also that trim and body parts are hard to find.
A total of 68,461 Starliner hardtop convertible were produced while 44,762 Sunliner convertibles were produced in 1960. A total of 29,669 Starliner hardtop coupes were produced and 44,614 Sunliner convertibles were produced the following year. Priced brand new, the 1960 and 1961 cost from $2,599 and $2,960.

The Ford Galaxie entered the scene in 1959 and was offered in various configurations. The model line consisted of a Club Victoria, Town Victoria, Club Sedan, Town Sedan, Sunliner Convertible and Skyliner Retractable. Similar to the Fairlane, they were distinguished by differed ornamentation.
The highlight of the 1959 model line was the Skyliner Retractable that had an all-steel hardtop that could be moved via electrical mechanics into the trunk transforming the hardtop vehicle into a convertible in just sixty seconds.
The Galaxie was offered with optional equipment, transmissions and engine sizes. Air conditioning, Sunray multi-colored wheel covers, power front seats, power steering, power windows, and power brakes, were just a few of the options presented to satisfy the demands of the customers. The engines ranged from a 292 cubic-inch 8-cylinder producing 200 horsepower to a 352 cubic-inch power-plant that produced 300 horsepower. Transmission options were a three-speed with overdrive, Ford-O-matic Drive two speed automatic, and a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic drive automatic.
In 1960 Ford added the Starliner body style to the Galaxie model line-up. The Starliner was void of door posts which accented the open-air effect. A Country Squire wagon with wood-grain body trim was now offered. All of the series received new body-lines giving the vehicles a more-modern and stylish appearance, again, sharing a similar body design with the Fairlane.
There were five engine options to chose from, ranging from the 223 cubic-inch Mileage Maker Six-Cylinder to a 352 cubic-inch V8 complete with four-barrel carburetor and 360 horsepower. The three-speed manual transmission came as standard equipment; optional were the Fordomatic Drive two-speed auto, and three-speed Cruise-O-Matic Drive.
For 1961, Ford redesigned the Galaxie which resulted in awards from the international fashion authority, Centro per L'Alta Moda Italiana, meaning 'functional expression of classic beauty'. Thirteen exterior colors were available to chose from, along with various sedan and wagon body styles. With multiple engine, transmission, available options, and body styles, the Ford Galaxie could be customized to suite any customers demands and wishes. The self-adjusting brakes and galvanized rust-protection body panels were standard, as was the Mileage Maker six-cylinder engine. The top-engine option was the 390 cubic-inch High-Performance 8-cylinder engine with three-carburetors and 400 horsepower. A Thunderbird 352 cubic-inch engine was available and could be modified to produce more than the base 220 horsepower.
In 1962 the biggest aesthetic difference over the 1961 model was the modifications that were done to the grill. The interior was adorned in more luxurious items and this was evident in the 500 XL models. In total, there were 14 different body-styles to select that ranged from sedans and convertibles, to wagons. Five engines were available with the 406 cubic-inc Super High Performance 8-cylinder power-plant producing 405 horsepower. If that wasn't enough, there were over 45 color keyed interior trims to select from. The Galaxie was becoming a customizable, luxurious, performance machine.
For 1963 the horsepower increased to an astonishing 425. Transmission options were a Synchro-Smooth column-shift, 4-speed manual Fordomatic Drive automatic, and Cruise-O-Matic three speed automatic. Ford continued to offer a multitude of options and bodystyles. The Galaxie 500XL was still the most luxurious offering that could be had in two or four doors. The Galaxie was given a sportier roof line and various aesthetic enhancements.
In 1964, there were sixteen bodystyles to choose from that again ranged from sedans to wagons, and hardtop to convertibles. The interior received the most attention with its new trim but the exterior did receive a new grill and panel design. There were a limited number of Galaxies fitted with the 427 cubic-inch engine and given fiberglass race equipment to help reduce the overall weight of the vehicle. These lightweight machines are legendary both in design and their accomplishments on the racing circuit.
In 1965, Ford redesigned the Galaxie, giving it a wider stance, and dual vertical stacked headlights. The base engine was the six-cylinder 240 cubic-inch engine. The top-of-the-line engine was the 427 with 425 horsepower.
In 1966 Ford introduced the 428 cubic-inch engine which came standard on the Galaxie 7 Liter model. The LTD model had a unique appearance, ornamentation, and trim. The Galaxie 500XL, Galaxie 500, and Custom 500 made up the Ford Galaxie model offerings. Again, these could be ordered in various sedans, wagons, hardtop, convertible, four or two-door configurations. Multiple options were still available, including engine, transmission, power disc brakes, power windows, power seats, vinyl room, power steering, air conditioning and more.
For 1967 Ford kept the appearance of the Galaxie similar to the prior model year. The turn signals were moved from the grill to the bumper. Ford offered 52 upholstery choices, 25 two-tone combinations, and 15 Diamond Luster Enamel paint colors. The muscle-car era was in full-swing and the Ford Galaxie was a formidable contender with its powerful engines and performance products. Its only drawbacks were it slightly larger size and luxurious amenities which were not as pure as other muscle-car offerings and added to the overall weight of the vehicle. Still, it was a high-performance, customizable, and sporty machine.
In 1968 the Galaxie was redesigned. The base model was the Ford Custom 500, available in two or four door variations. The XL was void of the Galaxie name, available in convertible or fastback configuration. The dual headlamps could be concealed when not in use in the XL, LTD and Country Squire models. Six engine options were available. Transmission options were a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic, floor-shift four-speed manual, and a three-speed manual.
In 1969 Ford moved the Galaxie higher into the luxury car segment, making it larger, heavier, and wider. The result was more room for the passengers. This trend continued into 1970 when the vehicle grew even larger. The focus was a large but quiet automobile. In total, there were 21 new models to select from ranging from three LTD Broughams, two XL models, six Galaxie 500 models, and five LTD models. The models ranged in bodystyles that consisted of two and four door configuration, hardtop, convertible, and sports-roof. Due to rising government safety and emission concerns, the horsepower rating on the engines were decreasing. The base engine was the 240 cubic-inch six cylinder engine while the four-barrel carburetor 429 cubic-inch engine produced 360 horsepower. There were three transmissions available including the three-speed manual, four-speed floor shift, and the three-speed Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic.
The goal of large, quiet, and comfortable continued in 1971 and on through 1972. Safety and comfort were big concerns for many people and the Galaxie was poised to address those concerns. It featured spacious interiors and more steel than most automobiles. Rising emission and safety concerns continued to deteriorate the horsepower. There were still multiple engines to choose from and plenty of optional equipment to satisfy all demands.

PORTSMOUTH — The city's Fire Commission is preparing a budget that, if accepted, would reflect a roughly 2 to 3 percent increase over last year, Fire Chief Steve Achilles said.
Details of the proposed budget, which is still in the hands of the Fire Commission, will be unveiled Wednesday, Feb. 5 during a public hearing at Fire Station 2.
Achilles said he has been working with the Fire Commission to prepare a budget that reflects an increase of two to three-percent over last year's budget of $7.4 million.
The Fire Chief said the proposed increase comes as a result of additional costs related to health benefits and employee step increases.
"We are not adding any new positions," Achilles said.
Utility costs also played a part in the increase, according to Achilles, who said the budget is ultimately still a work in progress.
"Over the course of the budget season we'll have to re-evaluate each area to make sure the funds we're requesting can maintain the delivery of service and level of customer service and reliability residents have come to expect,' Achilles said.

|Charlie Jacobs makes it clear: Bruins' goal is 'to play and compete for the Stanley Cup'
|04.16.15 at 7:35 am ET
Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs took the occasion Wednesday, at the press conference to confirm the firing of general manager Peter Chiarelli, that simply making the playoffs wasn't necessarily enough to save the GM's job.
In January, Jacobs told reporters, after meeting with the team, that he would consider the season a failure if they didn't reach the playoffs and that the team was badly underachieving.
This led to the presumption that if the Bruins made the playoffs and got hot at the right time, Chiarelli and coach Claude Julien would be safe. Jacobs hinted Wednesday that wasn't necessarily the case.
"I feel they were accurate, and that in January, my frustration of where the team was — I think we were in ninth or 10th place in the conference at the moment, on that day in January – and I said that for us not to make the playoffs would have been a failure. So here we are, out. And I want to clarify, by the way, my comment about the playoffs: The expectation is for us not only to get into the playoffs, but to play and compete for the Stanley Cup, not just to get in. I feel that may be lost a little bit in the messaging."
It was appropriate that on tax day Jacobs said the team was doing an internal audit of on-ice performance and off-ice planning and preparation in the front office, and that this audit had been going on all season.
"But I didn't necessarily think, at the end of the season, OK, let's sort of wash our hands of X, Y or Z associate. That wasn't it. It was, again, going back and sort of doing an audit of what had transpired throughout the year, where we were in terms of an organization and in terms of our depth, whether it be from our scouting department, our minor league system, where we are with our senior club, of course, and then sort of determining where, perhaps, we need to improve. So again, this was not an easy decision."
As it turned out, Jacobs and team president Cam Neely not only fired Chiarelli but also relieved three scouts of their jobs, including amateur scouts Mike Chiarelli (brother of Peter) and Denis Leblanc, and European Head Scout Jukka Holtari.
"I have a great deal of respect for Peter and what he accomplished here, especially bringing back [the Stanley Cup] I can't thank him enough for 2011 and the ride that that was," Jacobs said. "But we felt it was time to move on, and this was the move."
|Charlie Jacobs fires warning shot across Bruins organization
|01.06.15 at 1:04 pm ET
Charlie Jacobs held a press conference Tuesday to announce that he has been named CEO of Delaware North's Boston Holdings, which runs the Bruins, TD Garden and NESN. Suspicions of the press conference's timing were confirmed when Jacobs used the opportunity to fire warning shots across the Bruins organization.
Jacobs said that the entire Bruins organization is under evaluation, something he repeatedly referred to as a "fluid process." He noted that he had met with both team president Cam Neely and general manager Peter Chiarelli to discuss the team's status within the last 24 hours.
Asked whether players, coaches or management should be worried about their jobs, Jacobs repeated, "It's a fluid process."
At 19-15-6, the Bruins currently sit ninth in the Eastern Conference. Jacobs said missing the playoffs would be an "incredible failure."
"When you think about what has been put into this team, in terms of … all of the scouting, all of the drafting, all of the money spent on player personnel, for us to be a team that's out of the playoffs is absolutely unacceptable," Jacobs said. "Everybody in the executive office is fully aware of how I feel and they feel the same way, which brings us to this evaluation process, and it's fluid. I can't say at any moment that we have a final decision other than to say it would be an utter disappointment and a failure.'
Claude Julien batted down a question Monday about whether players should fear for their jobs, but having the Principal of the team come out and say it forced Julien to weigh in.
"To be honest with you, I've always felt that we're under evaluation all the time," Julien said. "You don't take this job and go in there and think it's OK. Every year you're being evaluated on what's going on with the team and everything else. I think that's a fair assessment. We all should be evaluated. Whether because he's saying it now, is it because of the situation? Maybe. I don't know, that's up to Charlie to answer that. I'm OK with that statement.
"We made the playoffs seven years in a row with a lot of this group and this coaching staff, so at the same time, you look at the situation and you say what is the real issue and how do we deal with it, and that's going to be up to them. So I have no issues. My job is always under evaluation, and I evaluate myself. I evaluate my coaches as well, I evaluate the players as well. I do that also. So I don't know, maybe for you guys it's a big statement — for me, it's not."
Julien was given a contract extension earlier this season. He compared this year's Bruins to last season's Red Wings, a squad that dealt with injuries to key players and made the playoffs. That's a tough comparison to make, as the Bruins, who have missed Zdeno Chara and David Krejci for stretches, are completely healthy heading into the second half of the season.
"I guess everybody evaluates differently," Julien said. "I look at our situation right now a lot like the Detroit Red Wings last year. A lot of injuries, a lot of in-and-outs and everything else. I'm not using excuses. We've not had the stability that we'd like to have, and it's made for a rough road. Last year they made the playoffs with two or three games left. I'm not saying we're going to be there with two or three games left. My evaluation and my job is to turn this thing around as quick as possible. There was no panic there. They understood the situation. I think right here, I don't know how they evaluate the situation, but I know for a fact our guys, our group, our coaching staff, we're going to try our best. It's not good enough right now, but we're determined to turn this thing around. Once it's turned around, everyone will have smiles on their faces.
"Nobody likes to lose. The urgency that you're alluding to, I'd be disappointed if we didn't have that same urgency before even he said that. That would be a knock on our group. There is some urgency even if not everybody believes it. My job in the last couple days has been to get the guys to relax a little bit and not get so tense. Hopefully these comments don't make it any worse. This is what we've got to deal with. I've got enough experience in this league to take this group of players and make them feel comfortable and understand that they're capable of turning this around. I believe in this group, I really do."
|Bruins break ground on Warrior Ice Arena as construction of practice facility begins
|12.10.14 at 4:53 pm ET
The Bruins broke ground on their new practice facility, which will be called Warrior Ice Arena, on Wednesday. Cam Neely, Charlie Jacobs, Peter Chiarelli, Mayor Marty Walsh and New Balance chairman Jim Davis were among those on hand for the event.
Warrior Ice Arena, which will be located in Brighton as part of New Balance's Boston Landing project, is expected to open in September of 2016. The Bruins will continue to practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington until then.
That's great news for the Bruins, eventually. Though both Neely and Jacobs thanked Ristuccia at every opportunity Wednesday, Ristuccia is not an NHL-caliber practice facility. Furthermore, its location is inconvenient to Boston.
The Bruins don't have many things on which they can't sell players. They're a winning organization, they have a good coach, they spend to the cap annually and they have people in the front office who players throughout the league respect. Their practice facility, on paper, is really their only clear shortcoming when it comes to places to play for prospective free agents.
"I really think it means a lot to players. It means a lot to the organization and to the players," Jacobs said. "What I mean by the players is if I'm one of them — Big Zee, Looch or Seth Griffith or whoever it is – you're doing that grind of back and forth to the rink. Likewise, on an off day when the Celtics may be playing or there's an event in the building, you're out here. It means a lot to have a shorter commute.
"It makes life a lot easier, as we probably all are aware, but then you think about courting potential free agents. To be able to take them to not only the Garden and show them the work we've done there, but say, 'Hey, listen. Come check out our practice facility,' that's a big selling point for a lot of clubs. It should be one for Boston's and it will be very soon."
Both Neely and Jacobs said that the team's priority was to build a new facility within Route 128, with Jacobs saying he was "over the moon" with how things fell together with New Balance. Jacobs added that he feels the Bruins will "set [an] industry standard in terms of amenities, technology and quality when it comes to this training facility."
|Charlie Jacobs on a window of opportunity for Bruins: 'I do believe we'll be right back there'
|05.20.14 at 2:55 pm ET
With a talented core and a young group of complimentary players in the fold, Bruins management and ownership feels there won't be a drop-off in performance for while.
As a matter of fact, owner Jeremy Jacobs, son Charlie and team president Cam Neely said Tuesday during their season-ending media availability that there's no reason to think the Bruins aren't poised for another run at the Stanley Cup in 2015.
"[There's] a tremendous amount of confidence in our both on-ice leadership and off-the-ice leadership," Charlie Jacobs said. "A lot of character in our dressing room, and it starts with Zee [Zdeno Chara], but listen ' there are a lot of complimentary pieces, and when you consider Patrice [Bergeron] and Krech [David Krejci], and we may have lost something with Andy Ference but we picked it up with Jarome [Iginla]. And then there's a lot of character and leadership, and they held each other accountable, and you saw in your exit interviews ' they all felt as though they maybe didn't necessarily play their best but they let the team down, and that meant more to them than, say, their individual stats. And I think that speaks volumes about the mentality in the locker room itself, and that's what you aspire to have."
The Bruins reportedly did suffer a bit of a hit Tuesday with word that assistant general manager Jim Benning has been named general manager of the Vancouver Canucks, replacing the fired Mike Gillis.
"In terms of our organizational leadership, I think with Cam [Neely] and Peter [Chiarelli] and Don Sweeney and Jim [Benning], they've done a great job of really trying to assemble a mixture of both veteran and some young leadership to bring us back to the promised-land," Charlie Jacobs added. "And you need that mix. You need the right mix. We maybe erred a bit, a little bit, in terms of having too many inexperienced defensemen. If you think about it, really only two of them ' two veterans on the back line this postseason. But as my dad referred to, that will pay dividends as you progress moving forward. So listen, I have great faith in both aspects. I do believe we'll be right back there. I expect that we'll be back there. Stranger things have happened, but I hope we start right out of the gate where we left off in March, not necessarily at the end of April."
|Jeremy Jacobs has no intention of selling Bruins to buy NFL's Buffalo Bills: 'I kind of like where I am'
|at 2:14 pm ET
When Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs expressed interest in buying the Buffalo Bills in April, after the passing of longtime owner Ralph Wilson, Bruins fans wondered if that meant the end of his stewardship of the NHL franchise.
Tuesday, during a 25-minute address to reporters at TD Garden, Jacobs made it clear that he has no such intentions and is quite happy as the owner of the "Original Six" franchise.
"Well, I can't buy the Bills, because I own the Bruins," Jacobs said, referring to the NFL by-laws that prohibit owning teams in different cities. "That's not a bad place to be. I kind of like where I am."
Jacobs is among the wealthiest and most successful businessmen in the world, owning the Delaware North Companies, with an individual net worth of approximately $3.1 billion. Jacobs was initially among a group of several Western New York businessmen reported to be interested in the Bills. Another businessman reportedly interested was real estate tycoon Donald Trump.
Jacobs has owned the Bruins since 1975. Jacobs also represents the club on the NHL's Board of Governors and serves on its Executive Committee. At the NHL Board of Governors meeting in June 2007, Jacobs was elected Chairman of the Board, replacing the Calgary Flames' Harley Hotchkiss.
Jacobs made changes in management of the Bruins, with the retirement of veteran team president Harry Sinden from active management of the team into an advisory capacity. New management included Peter Chiarelli and head coach Claude Julien. Cam Neely, who was on the dais Tuesday with Jacobs and Jacobs' son Charlie, was also lured back to the new organization and subsequently named as President of the team.
Since 2008, the Bruins have made playoffs every year, winning the Stanley Cup in 2011, reaching the Cup finals in 2013 and winning the Presidents' Trophy this past season as the team with the best record and most points (117).
|Bruins considering building practice facility next to TD Garden
|10.02.13 at 3:04 pm ET
Bruins principal Charlie Jacobs said Wednesday that the team is continuing to look into options for a new practice facility and that building one next to TD Garden is currently his top choice.
The Bruins are long overdue to upgrade from Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, and they've had reported interest in practicing at the sports complex being built by New Balance in Brighton.
Delaware North (the Jacobs family's company) and Boston Properties filed formal plans for a Causeway St. complex last month, and Jacobs said he expects it to be reviewed by the Boston Redevelopment Authority in November.
"My hope would be that we would have a premier, world-class training facility," Jacobs said Wednesday. "Not to say that we don't have one at Ristuccia, but we think we could do better and a little bit of an upgrade. If it works out with our partners at Boston Properties — and we're still penciling the numbers — there is a good chance that we would have one right next door in addition to some retail [stores], some restaurants.
"It's a really good concept that we'd be rolling out to fill in this North End. If it happens to be a rink, great. If not, we'll continue our discussions with [New Balance], with The Skating Club of Boston. There are a number of different options for us out there for us. This might be option 1 in my book at the moment. Things change though. This is a very evolving process."
|Charlie Jacobs: 'I bet [Bruins] get something' for Tim Thomas
|08.21.12 at 4:59 pm ET
Bruins principal and alternate governor Charlie Jacobs joined The Big Show Tuesday to support the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund radio telethon. Among the topics discussed was Tim Thomas, and Jacobs admitted that he was "thrown" after the season upon learning that the two-time Vezina-winner would not return next season to play the final year of his contract.
"I was beyond surprised," Jacobs said. "I am still."
Thomas has said that he will not play next season, and his future beyond that remains unclear.
"I'm having a hard time wrapping my ahead around that whole line of logic," Jacobs said. "I respect Timmy and I respect his decision, but at [38] '¦ I want to say he'll be 39 by the time he comes back, taking a year off from pro hockey, from the National Hockey League, from the show, I don't see how it's possible to come back and play at that level. He may prove us all wrong, but I would be stunned. This is prime earning potential for him. This is not chump change — we're talking 5 million bucks [Editor's note: He would earn $3 million, though his salary cap hit would be $5 million] — and the possibility of another deal if he does perform well."
Thomas confirmed via his Facebook account — something he's used to share some controversial opinions, including why he did not attend the White House this past season — that he would not be playing next year. More recently, he posted on Facebook that he supports the Cathy family, the owners of Chic-fil-A who have been outspoken against gay marriage.
"We certainly don't share his views or those messages that have been posted on Facebook, in particular with the recent fast-food chain in Boston and his statement about that as well," Jacobs said of Thomas. "I'm speaking cryptically because I'd prefer to not bring it up and give it merit.
Added Jacobs: "Tim's always marched to the beat of his own drum. By and large, that's what made him such a special player, is that you never really knew what he was going to do. I don't think opposing shooters knew where the hell he was going to go, right? I think that spelled well for a certain amount of time."
The Bruins could conceivably trade Thomas to another team and be off the hook for his cap hit, as teams that need to reach the cap floor would only have to pay $3 million for a $5 million cap hit. Jacobs said he feels there's a market.
"Timmy's going to do what he wants to do, and you know what? I bet we'll get something for him if he elects not come back and there is in fact a floor for the salary cap this upcoming season, I can see teams trading for that $5 million cap [hit] to bring their team up to the floor. So I think there will be a market for a player, as ironic as it sounds, there will be a market for a player who's not going to play next year."
Jacobs said that he and the front office have discussed whether they could have talked him into returning "on many occasions," but he noted he has not spoken to Thomas since the end of the season.
"More specifically we've asked the question,'Has Timmy thought this through?'" Jacobs said. "Apparently he has."

Tuesday June 11, 2013
Augusta, Ga--With the college sports season now behind us, Augusta State athletics is officially no more. It's now Georgia Regents University Augusta. What about recruiting? Are coaches having to do things a little different?
In a word, no. Dip Metress is holding his basketball camp this week and has been hot on the recruiting trail as well. Here's the first official GRUA shirt as the mascot look and colors are changing. For Metress there's just a little more explaining to do, but the new name hasn't hurt one bit.
"Yea we do get some questions from parents" said Dip Metress "The best thing we tell them is hey when you come down here, we'll explain it. It hasn't hurt us recruiting wise, really no setbacks, as we use the same approach we've used in the past. It's just when they get down here we have to explain we consolidated with the medical college and we are now this big university called Georgia Regents University."
In the upcoming weeks Christenberry Fieldhouse will get a make over as well. The court will get a new paint job with the new logo and colors. Metress did say the name Augusta will be on their uniforms as well as the GRU initials.

Now that my netbook has been shipped to Tennessee for nerds to get their grubby hands on a girl's stuff, I was ecstatic to find my shiny, new Comet waiting for me at the end of the day (WIFI, I❤ you!). Exciting, as this would be my first phone ever with WiFi! Plus, I love Swype.
It is a bit slow so I figured I would root it since "it's so easy." I found these instructions on how to flash a rom onto my android device:
[Huawei IDEOS U8150 ROM] tilal6991's Simplistic ROM branched from Quail's
It talks about how to root it and get it ready for flashing: Huawei Ideos Super FAQ, including the Ultrakiller Full Recovery.zip download.
What I really only ended up needing was the rooting software: z4root.apk.
I wish I figured this out sooner. I also downloaded a few of the apps from 12 Must Have Android Apps which helps to manage bloat ware, endless searching for 3g, and cpu overlcocking etc.
Before this epiphany, most of my time was spent trying to hold down the green button, the volume down button, while also turning on the power button all at the same time just to get into recovery mode.
Getting into bootloader mode was also confusing since the phone seemed to "freeze" on the t-mobile startup screen when really that was just what it looked like. Bootloader mode looks like a frozen T-mobile startup screen! Just so every other noob knows.
I am going to go now and try to contemplate if paying $1.49 for bloat-ware-app freezing is worth it. And yes, I have already thought about putting tape on that panel that always ends up sticking up within less than a week.

I am sure it is possible, but I never payed any attention to it. Either
my system is safe, or it isn't. Looking at the amount of attemps only
will make me nervous for no reason. Counted sheep are eaten by the wolfs

Call 471-6636
I think it's a great thing that our young adults graduated last Tuesday night, although I don't believe that talking on your cell phone or laughing at the other graduates is appropriate and very rude too. I would understand a little if it were kids, due to the fact kids are kids, but for an adult to sit there and laugh like a wild bandit or talk at the top of their lungs is inappropriate and you would think they'd know better than to do something so childish. My opinion: If you don't know how to act, don't go. And if you do go, try to act your age.
I live in Mini Farms and would like to thank all the people who helped sandbag around my house on May 17. Without my neighbors and friends, I don't know what we would have done. It seems no one else is interested in what is going on in our area, so we are all supporting each other. If it weren't for these people, this eye-deep water filled with slugs, snakes, overflowing septics and 2-foot-long fish would be in our home and several other homes.
Why doesn't the county feel it's responsible for the drainage problems in the Mini Farms? I'm still wading two and three feet of water and it's not receding at all. We're depending on Mother Nature and no more rainfall, which is highly unlikely, and the ground is so saturated it won't soak in any water. The county doesn't have any problem cashing my personal real estate tax checks, but they still aren't responsible. I'm confused. Will someone explain this to me? Also, if the media doesn't feel like there are any problems out here, why don't they deliver my newspaper?
I read in the paper where they had a big meeting with officials and residents of Scott and New Madrid counties, commissioners and so forth, discussing the St. John's Bayou and New Madrid projects and the people in Mini Farms were told this was a closed meeting. I see where they finally came up with the deal that it was nobody's jurisdiction, that Scott County officials have neither the right nor the obligation to maintain the ditches such as St. John's. Landowners can clean the ditch up themselves, mindful of the possibilities of lawsuits from the flooded to the south or farmland drainage ditch district. The St. John's ditch was there long before Mini Farms. Who maintained it then? They probably did. And I'll tell you one thing, I am paying four times the taxes living in Mini Farms that I paid when I lived in Sikeston. What goes around comes around. You people better look around, especially the commissioners.
Will the ditch by Crowe Street be cleaned out when the water goes down on Oklahoma and Pam Street and other surrounding streets? This needs to be done as soon as possible.

Post subject: Bleeding after a D and C
I dont know where else to post this!!
I had a D and C on Friday 14th October and today (6 days after) I have started bleeding. I have had nothing up until now. I had some really nasty spasams for 2 days after the op but i always get these after a mc and i think it is just everything shrinking back.
The bleeding is not really heavy yet and not to painful and no nasty smells. It is bright red though. I know it could not be af this early!
When i spoke to the hospital when i left and asked them what to expect they said that however it is now, it should stay like that and tail off and should not get worse.
After my last d and c where they left loads of retained products inside i am petrified. I guess i will leave it for now and see if it gets any worse.
Did this happen to anyone else.
Thanks girls xx

I had a d n c a year past September and I bled lightly for about a week afterwards, the bleeding then stopped. 2 weeks after that the bleeding started again but like you I had no pain or smell, the bleeding lasted for a couple of days then stopped. My period arrived 3 weeks later.

Congratulations to the Marietta College Pioneers baseball team for its excellent play at this weekend's NCAA?Division III Regional tournament.
Marietta, 43-7, won the tournament Sunday with a clutch 7-3 victory over Manchester (Ind.). Marietta forced Sunday's game by continuing to win through the loser's bracket of the eight-team tournament including two elimination games Friday and two more on Saturday.
Marietta handed Manchester its first loss in the tournament Saturday afternoon, forcing Sunday's showdown.
Now, Marietta has earned a return trip to the NCAA Division III World Series at Fox Cities Stadium in Grande Chute, Wis.
The Pioneers are on a mission like no other team at the tournament. That's because Marietta is defending its 2011 national championship. They have displayed a knack for timely hitting, top-notch fielding, heady running, and pitching quality and depth seldom seen on the Division III level.
The Pioneers have displayed their skills throughout the season, first by winning the Ohio Athletic Conference regular season title, then taking the OAC tournament crown. Turns out all those games were a bit of a warm-up for this weekend's Regional tournament when the Pioneers showed gritty determination on the utmost of confidence.
Good luck to Coach Brian Brewer and his talented staff and players. All of the Marietta area and anyone with ties to the Marietta College campus are pulling for a repeat of last year's ultimate success.
