A Genesee County judge threw the book at a Batavia woman Wednesday for punching a 70-year-old Walmart greeter last Christmas Eve.
Genesee County Judge Robert C. Noonan sentenced Jacquetta Simmons, now 27, to five years in prison, after a jury found her guilty of felony second-degree assault following a five-day trial in August.
"We requested the maximum sentence of seven years, and the defense requested probation," said Genesee County District Attorney Lawrence Friedman. "I'm certainly glad it was a lot closer to what we suggested."
Simmons knocked down Grace Suozzi with a blow to the face when the Walmart employee tried to check Simmons' receipt as she was leaving the store on Veterans Memorial Drive the morning of Dec. 24.
Simmons faced two to seven years in prison under New York's "Granny Law," which makes it a felony to intentionally injure someone age 65 or older if the defendant is at least 10 years younger than the victim.
Simmons will appeal her sentence.
"I prepared her that she was going to do some time, but I think she and I were both shocked by the amount of time he gave," said her lawyer, E. Earl Key.
"For one punch?" Key said after the sentencing. "You have people in car accidents that kill other people and get less time than that."
Simmons and her brother, Isaac Simmons, were leaving Walmart when Suozzi asked her to show a receipt for their merchandise.
Store security video showed the Simmonses refusing to produce a receipt and Jacquetta Simmons swearing at Suozzi before the punch.
The brother and sister fled but were detained in the parking lot by witnesses. Simmons insisted throughout the trial that she accidentally struck the elderly worker after someone grabbed her arm – a claim Friedman called "ridiculous."
"You're dealing with a 4-foot-9, 70-year-old gray-haired grandmother who got punched in the head very hard by a 26-year-old woman who was a lot bigger than her."
Announcement of the sentence followed comments from both sides, including Suozzi, who has been unable to return to work and suffers seizures as a result of the altercation, friends said. Simmons was taken into custody after the verdict.
Key said he is trying to get his client – who is eight months' pregnant – released while the appeal process is pending.
Simmons has no criminal record and was attending college to earn her bachelor's degree before having to drop out to deal with the fallout from her arrest, Key said."We just think the sentence is harsh and excessive, and we intend to appeal on that ground and several others," Key said.

The politicians running the nation today are totally self-absorbed. Or nuts. There's no way around it.
Take members of the House of Representatives, for example.
Some of them carved out a budget "deal" early this week. They bragged about it for a day or two. Then most members of the House, including West Virginia Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, voted for it.
Trouble is, the deal is nothing more than a political ploy to help members of the House get re-elected next fall. They don't want to have to talk about the nation's $17 trillion debt between baby kisses, and now, thanks to the deal, they won't have to.
David Stockman, budget director under President Ronald Reagan, calls the deal "a joke" and "betrayal." He adds, "It's the final surrender of the House Republican leadership to Beltway politics and kicking the can and ignoring the budget monster that's hurtling down the road."
Stockman's right.
The only Republican to vote against the deal was Rep. Walter B. Jones from North Carolina.
He said, "Americans are fed up with the tired Washington game of spending more today while promising cuts in the distant future, most of which never materialize. , , , Our focus should be on eliminating wasteful federal spending now."
Bless him.
The deal makers, including Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, and Speaker of the House John Boehner should be sent packing next fall. Their personal political ambitions are bankrupting us.
That brings us to Barack Obama. His behavior, both presidential and personal, is growing more dangerous by the hour, and he needs serious couch time with the White House shrink.
Jonathan Turley, a socially liberal professor and legal scholar at George Washington University Law School, testified about the Obama administration last week at a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
When asked about the president and the Constitution, Turley said, "I have great trepidation of where we are headed, because we are creating a new system here - something that is not what was designed."
He continued:
"(Y)ou have the rise of an Uber-Presidency (super-presidency). There could be no greater danger for individual liberty. I really think that the Framers would be horrified by that shift, because everything they dedicated themselves to was creating political balance - and we've lost it."
Turley again: "The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He's becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid."
He then mentions the delicate balance between the three branches of government and notes two trends that should concern all members of Congress.
"One is that we have had the radical expansion of presidential powers under both President Bush and President Obama. We have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely unchecked authority. And with that trend we also have the continued rise of this fourth branch. We have agencies that are quite large that issue regulations. The Supreme Court said recently that agencies could actually define their own or interpret their own jurisdiction."
The trends can be inferred from recent polling. More than 50 percent of us give Obama a failing grade. Two-thirds think the nation is headed in the wrong direction. A majority don't think Obama is honest.
Now for the scary part. Obama doesn't seem to care what we think, and he's growing more reckless by the day.
Last Tuesday, for example, during the memorial service for Nelson Mandela, photographers caught Obama yukking it up and posing for a selfie with Denmark's comely prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
Inappropriate? Most people would say it was. And where was the president's wife? Sitting on his other side, somber and paying attention to the service.
The president needs help, and as luck would have it, there's a couch in the Oval Office. Now he needs to call in the shrink.

Thank you, that would be much appreciated.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
I actually find the statement: "We're not necessarily trying to advance the genre" a tad bit disturbing. Now maybe I am misinterpreting it, but boy am I glad that Brian Eno and Miles Davis and Led Zeppelin and so on in each ones respective genre's did not think that way.
Now the flip side is that the folks who go into a project or a musical experience with the attitude that "I am going to do something no one has ever done before, I will be ground breaking" is also equally disturbing...
But somewhere in the middle there should always be the goal of advancing one's self and their art. If you are not passionate about your art and its propagation, well why should anyone else be?
We've agreed, after much debate, that most ambient musick out there in the last 3-4 years has been shite.
If it weren't for CD-R there is A LOT of music in my collection that would have never seen the light of day.. meaning it may never have been released.
Typical pattern of music:
verse - verse - chorus - verse - chorus - break - verse - chorus - chorus
Or written as:
Typical drone:
Minimal techno:
Sleep concert:
My parents have always referred to ambient as "non music." And they love classical, n hate ambient. So I don't think THEY see any correlations between the two. I don't either. Period. Over n' out!!
There just isn't much in the way of stark black and white separation of musical ideas - it's all various shades and hues of colors that overlap.
Unrelated, but I love this XTC lyric: "when it rains it rains all the colors in my paintbox". Music is kind of like that to me.
There is absolutely no relationship between classical music and ambient. Classical music is temporal, acoustically produced, structured music. (Good) ambient just isn't. Period.

Kettle grill

[[Category:Grilling and BBQ Gear]]
Latest revision as of 20:49, 15 November 2013
The bowl-shaped kettle grill has been the workhorse of barbecue in the United States ever since an Illinois metalworker fashioned one from two halves of a nautical buoy in 1952. (His name was George Stephen and he went on to found the Weber-Stephen grill company.) The virtue of the kettle grill is its simplicity: You put the coals in the bottom and place the food on a grate above them. This makes direct grilling a snap, and the high sides protect the fire from wind. But the real genius of the kettle grill is its vent system and domed lid. These enable you to turn a kettle grill into a smoker by using a technique known as indirect grilling. The kettle-shaped grill is a trademarked Weber product, but kettle-type grills (with domed covers) come in many shapes and sizes. One popular model looks like a square pillow.
What to look for when buying a kettle grill: Sturdy legs and construction; a bottom grate for holding the coals above the bottom of the firebox; a top grate; and vents at the top and bottom of the grill, so you can control the heat. Optional features include an ash catcher; a hinged grate, which allows you to add charcoal and wood to the fire without removing the food; a rotisserie attachment; side tables; and a thermometer built into the lid.

By Frank Deem, West Virginia's longest serving state legislator
Finally, the election is over. Seemed like Nov. 6 would never get here. With all the newspaper and internet polls I read, I never thought Romney would win. The only hope I had was to watch no spin Fox, which did in fact put on the best Republican spin, although even their Bill O'Reilly did not predict a Romney win. While I was not pleased with the outcome, there were some very bright spots for Republicans here in West Virginia.
The most significant win for the Republicans was the attorney general's office. Though I like McGraw as an individual, he ran his office as though it was his own little empire. He mostly sued large corporations, not by using his full-time staff employees, but by hiring his downtown Charleston attorney buddies. Come election time, these attorneys gave large donations to his re-election campaigns. While the legislature felt these settlement monies should have gone into the state treasury, they were never successful in redirecting the settlement monies his office received. The new attorney general has pledged to defend states' rights against encroachment by the federal government on those rights. For example, he will consider bringing suit against the Environmental Protection Agency, which has promulgated numerous rules and regulations that have had a devastating effect on job opportunities in West Virginia. As a matter of fact, the federal courts have overruled the EPA on many of their regulations for the very reason that they did infringe on states' rights.
Another very important state office which was won by Republicans was a seat on the Supreme Court. The court will now be made up of three Democrats and two Republicans. This makeup will bring balance to the court; a balance which it has not had for decades. This new court will help us to overcome our national reputation as being a judicial hell hole and one of the very worst states in which to do business.
In the new West Virginia House of Delegates, 46 of the 100 seats will be held by Republicans. This number is the most Republicans have had since the 1930s. Republicans will also retain two of our three seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Republicans have control of the U.S. House of Representatives and enough U.S. Senators, through their right of filibuster, to prevent passage of any legislation which they deem unacceptable. The Republican Party is still a viable political force to be reckoned with.

NEW CUMBERLAND - For months considered the potential home of youth football games and fire department fundraisers, Newell Memorial Field is now being talked about as a catalyst for economic development.
Hancock County commissioners put their money where their mouth is on Monday by offering the Hancock County school board $400,000 for the Newell facility and the old Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton. Commissioners want to develop both properties as places that businesses can call home.
The money would come from either the county's special projects fund or long-term capital improvement fund, commissioners said.
"I believe the commission is moving in the right direction," Commissioner Jeff Davis said after a special meeting on Monday. "We've got to look for economic development opportunities ... and help the private sector to create jobs."
If the school board accepts the offer, the county would take ownership of both properties and begin marketing them to prospective businesses for development purposes.
The school board met Monday night but took no action on the commissioners' proposal. "It's going to take some time to digest that ... from a legal standpoint," board President Jerry Durante said.
A special meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Friday for the board to consider options regarding the stadiums, which are no longer needed now that both high schools have new multi-sports complexes.
Commissioners said the stadium properties are too valuable to pass up because land for economic development is scarce in Hancock County.
"The steel mills are gone. Gaming is under attack. We need to go in a different direction," Commissioner Mike Swartzmiller said. "We want the properties to be developed. We don't want them to sit idle, like Weirton Steel."
Commissioners would enlist the help of the Business Development Corporation (BDC) of the Northern Panhandle, the chief economic development authority for Hancock and Brooke counties. On Monday, after voting 3-0 to submit the offer to the school board, commissioners met with BDC Executive Director Patrick Ford to discuss strategies.
Ford said both stadium properties are ideal for economic development and fit the profile of sites described in an economic development plan completed a year and a half ago - back when the BDC had no properties to show business prospects.
"Your acquisition of these two sites is going to be critical to get us back into the game," Ford told commissioners on Monday. "It gets us back into the game to reintroduce a lot of prospects that we've had to waive on to other states, to come back and take a second look at Hancock County, to either open up or expand in our market."
Ford said those prospects include companies that provide support and services for the burgeoning oil and gas industry. Hancock County is centrally located to much of the drilling activity involving the Marcellus and Utica shales.
Along with the old Taylor, Smith & Taylor pottery site in Chester, whose reclamation is set to be done Dec. 5, county officials would then have three sizable properties available for development, Ford said. Previously, Ford has had to turn away five prospects representing 420 jobs and $20 million in private investment - all because of a lack of developable sites, he said.
"These people came into our area, but we had nothing to show them," Ford said. "We'll be able to market TS&T, and the two stadiums, as very viable and attractive economic development sites."
That could make the difference between businesses moving to Hancock County or looking elsewhere - in Ohio or Pennsylvania, Ford said.
"This commission would like to continue creating economic development opportunities for our county, for our county's citizens and for our county's future," Swartzmiller said.
Swartzmiller said the county has been interested in the stadium properties for awhile but wanted to see what happened with the Chester Volunteer Fire Department's offers before moving forward.
The fire department has been attempting to purchase the Newell stadium property since July, but its offers, including two in tandem with the city of Chester, have been rejected as legally questionable by the school board.
"We sort of backed off a little bit when the private sector got involved," Swartzmiller said. "We believe that less government is better government."
"We did not want to compete with the private sector," Davis said, "but we feel these two parcels are going to become stagnant (if not developed)."
Commissioners decided to "jump back in the mix," Swartzmiller said, after the school board canceled a public auction scheduled for Nov. 30. Commissioners Swartzmiller and Dan Greathouse and Ford met with the board on Nov. 19 to discuss the stadium sale.
"We just heard them out," Durante said. "We didn't commit to anything."
Greathouse said the board asked for a stipulation that no known polluters be allowed to locate on the properties.
Also Monday, to strengthen their offer, commissioners agreed in principle to loan the BDC $750,000 as matching funds for a grant application to the U.S. Economic Development Administration.
The BDC has until Dec. 14 to submit its application for $1.5 million and must include, among other things, a list of three prospective tenants and a specific site that can be developed. The money would be used for site preparation and construction, Ford said.
"When these opportunities surface, we need to be aggressive in going after that money," Ford said. "There is very little money out there in today's world for bricks-and-mortar projects. Most of the money is for either doing planning, assessment or public works projects. It is very rare that money becomes available to do buildings."
Ford said the Newell site would be ideal for a "linear multi-tenant building," ranging in size from 15,000 to 25,000 square feet, for "people who needed offices or to do industrial sales and repair."
Such a building could be divided into offices for use by oil and gas engineers, project managers and inspection crews, or flex space for pipe fitting, pipe repairing, general maintenance and processing, Ford said.
Chester fire Chief John Hissam said he doesn't regret the attempts to buy the Newell stadium but is sorry for the community.
"The great loss is: The property is no longer community property," he said. "All we were trying to do is save it for the community and our own use two weeks a year. Now that's not going to happen. ... The school board, for whatever reason, had their agenda, and the end result is this."
Sue Thompson, treasurer of the Newell Community Improvement Coalition and a critic of the school board's handling of the stadium sale, was more optimistic.
"The commission may be our next best option," she said. "I'm interested in hearing their ideas, but I do feel that this would be one of the better avenues for the school board to take."
Should the school board approve the commissioners' offer, the property would be transferred through a provision in the West Virginia Code that allows for such inter-governmental agreements, county attorney Bill Fahey said.
The school board would deed by general warranty deed both stadiums and the surrounding acreage to the county, which also would have ownership of all surface rights and any oil and gas and mineral rights, according to a draft of the agreement. The Newell property is 4.25 acres, and the Weirton property is about 10 acres.
The board would have 36 months to vacate the maintenance building and bus parking lot at the Weirton location. Part of what the board wants to do with the sale of the Weirton stadium is move its maintenance department to a more central location.
Swartzmiller said commissioners would preserve the veterans memorial at the entrance to the Newell stadium.
Asked whether developing the Newell property will be good for the community, Ford said, "It's something that the community has been telling us - that they need jobs. We need to seize these opportunities when they arise. ... I can see us engaging the community on the stadium sites as we did on the TS&T site."
Ford said just preparing the TS&T site for development has already resulted in economic growth for Chester.
"We've already seen well over half a million dollars in investment on property surrounding that site," he said. "There's an opportunity for multiple gains that otherwise might not have been provided if someone from the private sector got involved. We want to catalyze other development in the community, and, Lord knows, we need additional economic development in Hancock County."

5 Guilty Pleasures That Are Secretly Saving the World
At the end of Jurassic Park, Dr. Grant, his special lady friend, and those impossibly muddy kids are flanked in the entrance hall of the theme park by Velociraptors. It looks pretty grim until the T. rex lumbers in to bite the other dinosaurs to death and save the goddamn day despite being the central antagonist for the first half of the film.
Little Known Fact: The T. rex can roar loud enough to make banner knots undo themselves.
I mention this scene because, aside from the living dinosaurs and the weird knot physics, there's a fundamental truth in that moment: Sometimes if you surround yourself with enough terrible things, they will just cancel each other out. Fate, it seems, has a soft spot for the stupid and reckless. For proof, look no further than everyday life; some of the cultural habits and irritating trends that should, in all respects, spell doom for our species are miraculously saving lives instead. So rather than rolling our eyes when a fad like Crocs, or Sexy Vampire Stories, or Bro-Step music fight for attention in our collective conscious, let's try to look on the bright side and determine how each of them might accidentally be protecting humanity from becoming the next fossil fuel.
#5. Racking Up Credit Card Debt Is Eradicating Illnesses
When was the last time you held multiple hundred-dollar bills? Or $50s? That's a rhetorical question, you don't have to answer it. For those of you who are still eager to tell us all how you just handled a stack of hundreds yesterday, I wish you luck with your burgeoning rap career now that you have a really great album cover. Or, for the only other people who handle that much cash on a daily basis, I wish you safety in your chosen path of prostitution. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy career of humping high-end clients to read my article.

Jesus, is that the chaise lounge from West Elm? How much exactly are you making?
It's become pointless to carry cash now that plastic is accepted pretty much everywhere. It's safer and it's more convenient; however, the downside is that it's also much easier to swipe a hunk of plastic than to part with real bills, which means consumer debt has soared ever since money transformed into electronic signals. Over the past 10 years, even when accounting for the recent recession, personal bankruptcy in the U.S. and Europe has skyrocketed, almost exclusively because of our cultural reliance on credit.

The good news is that you'll have a long life in which to pay off that debt.
But there's a silver lining. As debt shoots up across the U.S. and Europe, several infectious diseases have all but disappeared with almost no help from the medical community. Paper money is filthy. The cotton/linen combination that makes up most currency is a breeding ground for microbes, some of which cause very serious diseases, so until recently, we've all inadvertently been participating in biological warfare with one another every time we make a transaction. Then plastic changed everything. Because you only use your own card and because bacteria have a harder time setting up shop on a plastic surface, infectious diseases that used to be ubiquitous have vanished over the last decade, with researchers attributing the decline exclusively to our change in currency habits.
Some businesses have stopped to take notice of this discovery, doing away with paper money altogether. Flight attendants, for example, won't even acknowledge bills as real currency because they know that traveling in a commercial airplane is more dangerous for your immune system than licking the vents in a hospital -- they don't need the added threat of catching pinkeye from your crumpled five-dollar bill. So while all your payments pile up as you start to drown in a sea of debt, the good news is that you're single-handedly preventing the spread of disease. Your impulsive spending habits have actually turned you into a hero.
#4. Reading News from Blogs Is Slowing Global Warming
Comstock/Getty Images
If you're reading this on a computer or a mobile device, then congratulations, together we're contributing to what's been a long, stubborn death of the print industry. And with one last dusty breath, that archaic medium issues its final sigh, whispering to us all ... something, probably. I'm sure we'll find out when it shows up on Yahoo! News or HuffPo if it's worth hearing.
Today, most people get their news from blogs instead of newspapers, they read their novels on Kindles or tablets, and they get all their sex tips from porn instead of checkout counter magazine racks. The trend has caused the giants in the print industry to close up shop or cut their staff so drastically that their publications look more like community newsletters than beacons of journalistic integrity. This is, of course, a bad thing.
But while the print industry collapses as a direct result of our neglect, there's some shockingly good news coming out of the fiasco that I'm sure papers would have loved to report on if they could still afford to pay journalists to do so: The death of print has acted as a massive speed bump for global warming.

"Yes! Here's to being dicks, guys!"
Around 68 percent of the lumber industry in the world is supported by the demand for paper in developed countries, a demand that's now dropped to less that 30 percent in the past seven years alone. As the mills closed down, forested areas that were allocated for clearing were instead thriving, and no one really knew what that would mean for the Earth, at least not until recently. The polar ice sheets that were so good at melting and bringing us that much closer to a Waterworld future just gave up in the last year. The shelves stopped falling into the ocean almost completely, and scientists think they finally know why.
See, creating paper wasn't just about cutting down trees; the process of chewing up all that wood into pulp was a huge contributor of methane and greenhouse gases as well, and now that the industry has tanked, we've essentially given Mother Nature a few minutes to catch her breath. The only downside is that now she seems to be a little angry.
Experts predict that this one minor change in our lifestyle is going to have a massive reversal effect on the entire planet. The sudden shift in greenhouse gas ratios will create more severe winters across the Northern Hemisphere, essentially dropping us into a minor ice age. No one is ready to predict how long it will last or how cold it will get or if we'll be able to walk from Alaska to Russia if we want, but regardless, this is probably a good time to invest in Gore-Tex. So I hope your Nook version of the Game of Thrones books was worth it, because I'm being completely serious when I say that winter is coming.
And as long as we're on the subject of saving the planet ...
#3. Growing Weed Dramatically Improves Air Quality
During every heated debate between marijuana advocates and the- whatever the other side are calling themselves (Party poopers? Squares? Square poopers? Square poopers), no one could have anticipated that the best argument for the drug's legalization was that weed has the potential to actually make lungs healthier. The logic is so counterintuitive that no one even bothered to study it until recently, and even then it was only because someone stumbled across the findings while doing a report on, of all things, an airport.
See, airports that host private planes produce high concentrations of particulate matter into the atmosphere because private planes, for whatever archaic reason, still use leaded gasoline. As a result, people who live near these airports suffer from a whole slew of diseases related to poor air quality, from asthma to COPD. This is true across the board; in every town or city in which these airports exist, people around them get sick ... except one.
When the American Lung Association was compiling its Annual Respiratory Disease Report for 2013, they found that for some reason the residents around the airport in Augusta, Maine, had lungs like Wolverine. What they at first assumed was an error in the data turned out to be factually accurate, with an incredible answer: 47-year-old Marlon Cloutier was growing enough weed within the fenced property of the airport to mellow the entire state of Maine.
"Stop ... stop pinching. Look, just be chill with each other."
Not literally, of course. Maine was so outraged when they found out that they threw Cloutier in prison for it because growing weed is still illegal. But his heroic drug farm revealed a property of cannabis no one in the scientific field had considered before -- specifically, that it eats up particulate matter from the atmosphere like a stoner eats up Nutella. Weed, more than any other plant, is phenomenal at cleaning pollutants from the air and creating a healthier environment for people. Although tests are only in their preliminary stages, marijuana not only is looking like it might be nature's air filter, it's also got the added benefit of being one of the highest oxygen yields of any plant. We could potentially be planting fields of it in every polluted city and saving lives. Sadly, while the reports from the ALA are groundbreaking, they will probably never make national headlines. Still, it's nice to know that every time you smoke, you're doing as much as any Asthma Walk. So do it for the kids, and do it for Marlon Cloutier.

Creatine Ethyl Ester May Promote Gains In:
Creatine Ethyl Ester is a quantum leap forward in creatine supplementation. In this form, creatine is bound to ethyl ester creating a lipid-based transport system which efficiently permeates the cell wall to exert its influence. Using esterfied creatine may translate into impressive gains using smaller doses, not having to load, and the virtual elimination of "bloat" some users of creatine experience.*
Creatine helps to regenerate ADP (spent energy) back into ATP for increased energy output involving short, intense bursts of energy.*
Creatine is a natural substance that is synthesized in the body from three amino acids.

Rural America is "becoming less and less relevant to the politics of this country," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said recently.
Vilsack is a Democrat, the former governor of Iowa. His comments were made in a forum sponsored by a publication aimed at farmers. After delivering his diagnosis, Vilsack added, "we had better recognize it and we better begin to reverse it."
Vilsack is right. Take a look at results of the Nov. 6 presidential election if you doubt it. President Barack Obama was re-elected by the large urban areas. That's where he and other national candidates of both parties will direct their campaigns in the future. And that's where the "gifts" cited by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will go.
There's a reason they call us "flyover country." Quite a few of our fellow Americans see rural areas merely as places to pass over or through as quickly as possible, as they travel between cities.
Our ways of life and our traditions are viewed as quaint - maybe dangerous. We are, well, backward - not quite in step with the 21st century mainstream.
Vilsack is just reminding us of what urban dwellers, who are gaining more and more political power, think of us.
We grow the food that goes on their tables every day, and to the expensive restaurants the urban elite favor. Yet we are irrelevant.
Even the water they drink comes from us, sometimes via pipelines and viaducts scores or even hundreds of miles long. It is irrelevant to them - even those who sometimes condemn us for allegedly not worrying enough about the environment - that such practices drain rivers and ancient aquifers.
We mine the coal that generates by far the highest percentage of the electricity without which their cities would be dark. Yet we are irrelevant.
We drill for the gas that heats their apartment buildings and the oil that fuels their buses and taxis. Yet we are irrelevant.
Their skyscrapers, busy streets and sidewalks would not exist but for the limestone we quarry. But we are irrelevant.
We cut the timber they use to build suburban homes and, when they can't pay the mortgages, our taxes bail them out. That does not make us less irrelevant.
Wool from the sheep we raise and cotton from southern fields are woven into the best clothing sold in their stores. Still, we are irrelevant to them.
When the cities become too much to bear, their dwellers flee to our mountains and forests for relief. We who live there are irrelevant.
And when they are threatened by foreign enemies, they turn to those of us who "cling" to our guns to provide their first line of defense. And then we sometimes become relevant - as they worry aloud that our traditions of self-reliance, personal liberty and yes, self-defense may be threats to them.
But most of the time we are, as Vilsack reminded us, irrelevant in making political decisions.
Without small-town and rural America, the cities would not - could not - exist. At some point, we may have to remind our urban neighbors just how relevant we are to them.

If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

It's easy to describe the Curve's offensive problems, but there is no easy fix for them.
"Our offense, we're not doing very good right now," Altoona manager Carlos Garcia said Monday night after watching his club get shut out on five hits.
Richmond won, 2-0, before 2,037 fans at Peoples Natural Gas Field, and the Curve have now scored only three runs in 38 innings while dropping four straight games.

Matt Curry tags out pitcher Jack Snodgrass after his bunt Monday.
"Frustrated? I'm not to that point yet," Garcia said.
The manager, though, did admit, "We did everything to lose that game today."
Some of the Curve hitters appear to be frustrated already, so the key will be keeping them focused and concentrating on their approach at the plate to get out of the team's collective slump.
Fact Box
Next stop
Tonight: Richmond at Altoona, 6:30 p.m.
Pitchers: Curve RHP Casey Sadler (2-0, 3.27) vs. Flying Squirrels RHP Taylor Rogers (0-0, 6.75)
Record: 4-7
Sounds easy enough, but as hitting coach Ryan Long said, "There's never an easy fix when you talk about hitting. It's the hardest thing there is to do."
The Curve once again got strong pitching, this time from David Bromberg in his season debut, followed by relievers Kenn Kasparek and Nate Baker.
Bromberg (0-1) allowed two runs, both scoring on a double by Javier Herrera in the third, while giving up four hits in five innings with four strikeouts and two walks. Kasparek threw three scoreless innings and Baker one.
"The only highlight I could probably tell you is the pitching," Garcia said. "They're giving us opportunities to score some runs, and we failed to do that."
Poor hitting is one thing, but the Curve also had two key fundamental mistakes in the eighth inning that ruined their best rally opportunity.
"It's a bad recipe when you get the fundamentals messed up," Garcia said.
Alex Dickerson singled and pinch-hitter Adalberto Santos walked to start the eighth, then Gift Ngoepe tried bunting the runners to second and third. But Ngoepe's bunt went right back to pitcher Tom Vessella, who threw to third for a forceout.
Another mistake by Ngoepe ended the inning. Mel Rojas Jr. beat out an infield single to third, but Ngoepe rounded third base too far on the play and was thrown out.
"He had the play right in front of him," said Garcia, also the third base coach. "I don't have to yell anything. He ain't going to score. If he'd have scored, the game is still [2-1], so he has to be able to understand the situation and become a better baserunner."
Jack Snodgrass (2-0) gave up only two hits over seven shutout innings for Richmond. The lefty threw the first six innings of a seven-inning no-hitter for the Flying Squirrels in his first start this season and has a 2.20 ERA.
Vessella earned his second save with two scoreless innings, and the Curve were shut out for the second time during their four-game skid.
"Today in particular the approach and plan just weren't very good," Long said of the Curve hitters. "We didn't control the zone very well and were a little anxious. Sometimes when you struggle guys try to do too much, and that's kind of what's going on right now is guys pressing.
"I thought the games leading up weren't as bad. I think it's a combination of guys starting to press because they're not getting some hits."
That's clearly been the case with the Curve the past four days.
"There's a bunch of guys that aren't real experienced at this level," Long said, "so they're going to go through a learning curve, which is good. That's why we're here.
"The big thing is they've just got to stay confident. Stay confident in the approach, trust it and it's how you come out and how you handle it, because you're going to go through spurts like this."
Game recap
Key player: Richmond LHP Jack Snodgrass pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits.
Key play: Flying Squirrels LF Javier Herrera drove home the game's only runs with a two-run double in the third.
Key stat: The Curve have scored only three runs in the past 38 innings.
How they scored
Top 3rd: Stromsmoe singled, Adrianza walked, both scored on Herrera double (0-2).

Published November 1, 2013
Susan K. Cahn, professor in the Department of History, has been named the William S. Vaughn Visiting Fellow at the Vanderbilt University Robert Penn Warren Center for the 2013-14 academic year.
She is one of seven Warren Center fellows to participate in the center's annual yearlong interdisciplinary faculty seminar whose theme this year is "Diagnosis in Context: Culture, Politics and the Construction of Meaning."
Cahn, a member of the UB history faculty since 1992, is known for her publications on the history of women and sports, and research in U.S. women's history, history of sexuality, African-American history, southern history, feminist theory and LGBQ (lesbian/gay/bisexual/queer) studies. Her current research is on the gendered history of mental illness with a focus on borderline personality disorder.
Cahn, who will receive a $50,000 stipend from Vanderbilt, will study the production of diagnoses, the various meanings ascribed to them across time and place, and what they do for individuals and communities trying to navigate the elusive boundaries between health and disease.
Cahn is the author of "Sexual Reckonings: Southern Girls in a Troubling Age" (2007) and of the critically acclaimed monograph "Coming on Strong: Gender and Sexuality in Twentieth-Century Sports" (1994), which won the Best Book Award in the Sport History category from the North American Society of Sports History.
She is co-author, with Jean O'Reilly, of "Women and Sports in the United States: A Documentary Reader" (2011) and her most recent book, "Sexual Reckonings: Adolescent Girlhood in the Modern South" (2012), explores how the sexuality of white and African-American adolescent girls served as a flashpoint in popular culture and state policy for intensely political conflicts over race, class and gender relations in the South.

5 Questions That Need to Be Banned from Casual Conversation
#2. Asking Someone Who's Looking for Work: "Any Leads?"
Getting fired or laid off is a drag. Don't worry, your career in reading Cracked columns on the crapper is recession-proof, but take it from me that getting laid off is no fun -- even when you're let go for having male genitalia that is "just too damn impressive for the workplace."
Not a metaphor. I'm seeing a doctor.
Anyway, the best way to show interest in how your laid-off friend is doing is by getting him or her an interview. But sure, asking how they're doing is a completely acceptable thing to do. So you'll say something like "Hey, got any interviews coming up?" In this marketplace, they might well reply with something like "No."
Here's what you shouldn't ask next: "Hmm, well, do you have leads at least?"
What does that mean? People ask that question perhaps forgetting that those of us who need to work to stay alive aren't particularly lazy about looking for work when we're out of it. If we had a lead, we wouldn't sit on it for a few weeks like a fine wine and then submit our resume when the mood strikes us just right. When you're out of work, you gobble up leads with sent resumes.
If you ask someone who's out of work if they have any leads, they can reply either "No" or "Yeah, the leads are where I sent my resumes." If they say "Yeah, I heard there's a place, but, yeah, I don't know, we'll see ..." you can legally kill them.
#1. Asking Someone Who's Lost a Loved One: "Was It Sudden?"
No one knows how to deal with death. It sucks. It's awkward. It makes for bad conversation. Judaism actually has some tips for dealing with the bereaved, and one of them is shutting up. Well, at least not being up their ass. Instead, just come over, bring some food so they don't have to worry about cooking when they're grieving, and be around for them when they want to speak. (Oh, sorry. I keep forgetting that some commenters get annoyed when I mention that I'm a Jew because, y'know, it's bad form, I guess. Oddly enough, how many of those people would get annoyed if I were Irish and talking about my experiences at wakes?)
Oh, just you three guys? Free your minds, dudes.
Anyway, it's pretty good advice, because there's nothing you can say, really. Still, we insist on trying, and murmur, "Was it sudden?"
How could that possibly help? What are you hoping for? If they respond "No. My nanny was suffering in intense pain for nine years," are you going to say "Good! At least her suffering is over"? Or are you hoping they go "Yes, my Uncle Fred never saw that falling safe coming" so you can say "Well, it's good he didn't suffer"? Much like a Fleshlight or a person at an information desk, this question might seem like a good idea, but it's totally unnecessary. (And covered in semen? I'm not sure. Not my best metaphor.)

COLUMBIA Another South Carolina Cabinet agencys experience with credit monitoring firm Experian helped the company land a $12 million no-bid contract with the Department of Revenue following a massive breach of an agency database, according to state officials.
For that cost, Experian will provide a year of credit monitoring and lifetime credit-fraud resolution for up to 3.8 million taxpayers who had sensitive information in the database.
After an internal breach at the state Department of Health and Human Services in April, the agency contracted with Experian to provide credit protection for almost a quarter-million Medicaid beneficiaries whose information had been improperly accessed.
That agreement cost the state about $750,000, according to HHS.
Rob Godfrey, spokesman for Gov. Nikki Haley, attributed the Experian-Revenue Department deal to the administrations pre-existing, positive relationship with the company through its work with HHS. He added that the company also was willing and able to provide services to taxpayers on an expedited timeline.
Revenue Department spokeswoman Samantha Cheek said the agency turned to Experian as it is one of the largest and most experienced credit bureaus.
The Haley administration reached an initial agreement with Experian soon before officials announced the breach on Oct. 26. Following negotiations, the state and company reached a subsequent agreement that capped the states costs at $12 million.
Haley has said she negotiated the company down to that figure, and the credit monitoring service could have cost the state more than $80 million.
Many taxpayers have complained about wait times for reaching Experian representatives, with some saying they havent been able to reach a live person at all before being directed to visit a website and disconnected.
Nonetheless, Haley has praised Experian and another company, Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., which is providing monitoring to businesses at no cost to them or the state.
Experian and Dun & Bradstreet could not be any better in walking people through the process, she said during a stop in the Lowcountry last week.
The new deal with Experian didnt come about in the way most state contracts are struck: through a request for proposals from different companies.
The state used emergency procurement procedures that allow officials to go around normal procurement rules.
The emergency law can be used when there is immediate threat to public health, welfare, critical economy and efficiency, or safety under emergency conditions.
Still, the states emergency procurement law states competition as is practicable shall be obtained.
Its unclear if the state considered any other companies for monitoring Revenue Department breach victims.
Cheek did not respond to a question asking if the agency looked at other providers.
She said Tuesday evening that the agencys contract with Experian will be released today at 3 p.m.
Cheek said the Revenue Department at the same time will release the agencys contract with Trustwave, the cyber security the agency was using at the time of the breach.
The state and Trustwave acted negligently in allowing the database to be hacked and then failing to notify the public for more than two weeks, a former state senator suing the state over the breach has alleged.
Haley is set to provide updated information on the breach in a 2 p.m. Statehouse press conference today.

Legal challenges? Maybe a business lawyer can help
Protecting your business against legal challenges can be crucial for your continued success. Business law can be taxing to navigate, as the law touches your business in many ways. Therefore, you might want to consider having a qualified lawyer at your disposal.
First and foremost, a good business lawyer should be someone that you feel comfortable dealing with. It is also equally important for your business lawyer to possess the experience and expertise to help you make informed business decisions.
Throughout the life of your business, you will likely encounter a number of legal issues that a lawyer can help you resolve. For effectiveness, you may want to enlist the services of a lawyer from the start of your business as a good business lawyer will help you understand how to avoid legal trouble before it arises.
Some of the legal issues that a business lawyer can help you resolve include:
- Setting up your business structure: determine the organizational structure that is best for you
- Preparation of contracts: understand the legal ramifications of signing on the dotted line
- Registration, licensing and taxation issues: fulfill government requirements of your business
- Intellectual property: protect the products and services that you create
- Real estate: avoid signing a lease agreement that benefits only the property owner and not you
- Buying a business: recognize your obligations and the terms of your agreement
- Employee conflict: ensure your decisions regarding human resources are fair and legal
To better inform your search for a business lawyer, meet with several before deciding who will best suit your needs. Speak with experienced business owners and ask for their advice and recommendations. Consider your prospective lawyer's area(s) of expertise. Different lawyers specialize in different branches of law; therefore, a tax lawyer may not be the best choice to prepare your business contracts. Some larger law firms may offer "one-stop-shop" legal services, in which they employ a number of lawyers with differing specialties.
In choosing the right candidate, ask yourself these questions:
- Does this person possess expertise that is well-aligned with my business needs?
- If/when necessary, will they provide me with a referral to a more specialized lawyer?
- Is this someone I feel comfortable dealing with and can I trust their perspective to help me make business decisions?
If you are able to answer all of these questions positively, maybe you've found someone with the right fit to help your business.
Consult our Legal issues for small business page for more information. To learn more about protecting your interests, check out our Management and Operations section.
Have a product that needs patent protection. It is a retail to public and to business product. Employees and private people will be working with it so will need legal plan for dealing with all issuses that may arise. Info recommendations insight would all be appreciated.
Hi Rich,
Visit our section on patents to learn more about protecting the rights to your invention. You may also want to visit our copyright and intellectual property page to learn about other ways to protect your legal rights.
Best of luck with your endeavour!
Starting a Construction/Renovation company where I will seek out the projects and sub-contract them. Need client contracts, employment & sub-contractor agreements. Does this have to be done by a lawyer? Also, do I pay a lawyer throughout the year for legal advise & services; or is it normally a pay per use type of deal?
A lawyer's input is optional when drawing up a contract, though it can be highly recomended. Lawyers are trained to interpret the law and they understand how wording and punctuation changes the meaning of a stipulation. It is generally less expensive to retain a lawyer up front than trying to hire one later to fix a problem.
Regarding payment methods, the manner which you pay for services would depend on your needs and those of the professional. For information on hiring a lawyer, see our section Legal issues for small business.
If you have the time, doing your own incorporation (provincially/federally) is easy and far less expensive than using a lawyer (for us it would have been less than a 1/10th the cost). The law firm we used steered us in the wrong direction and we've been battling with them ever since and had a lot of very negative fallout. Just because a law firm is supposed to be one of the biggest and best doesn't make them the best; they can still mess up and its really important to keep very close tabs on them and make sure you thoroughly understand what it is they're doing and why they're doing it because they're in the business to make money - not to be your buddy. We now have a legal battle with our lawyer and I'll be having them investigated so business owners must do their due dilengence and NOT leave certain things up to a lawyer to do unsupervised.
THX that's a great answer!
