Fox (Sat., April 30, 8 p.m. ET)
The premiere of Dirty Dozen: The Series copies the by-now-standard format of the movie and its many made-for-TV sequels: The maverick officer—Ben (Alias Smith and Jones) Murphy, taking over the position made famous by Lee Marvin—is assigned a suicide mission. He goes to the brig to recruit no-good soldiers sentenced to long terms or death. He trains them to fight the enemy instead of each other. Then they go on their mission—to bomb a Nazi radar station—and a few come back alive. This Dirty Dozen has the good sense to thrust its tongue into its cheek, transforming war movie clichés into camp kicks. "If I do come back alive," says an actor-turned-soldier being recruited for the Dozen, "that would make pretty good publicity, wouldn't it?...Okay, let's call it a career move." A woman soldier worries about killing her first human being, but a comrade comforts her: "Well, they're in season, aren't they?" I'm not sure that Fox or the world needed another war show, but if we have to have one, this is not a bad one to have—so long as it keeps its sense of humor about death and destruction.

The UNH Traditional Jazz Series presents Paul Broadnax Quintet with vocalist Shawnn Monteiro on Monday, October 7 at 8pm in the Johnson Theater at the Paul Creative Arts Center.
Tickets are $8 general admission; $6 students/senior citizens and are available at the PCAC Box Office (603) 862-7222, Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., online at www.unharts.com, and at the door one hour prior to performance.
Paul has appeared with many nationally recognized jazz artists including such notables as Clark Terry, Joe Williams, Milt Hinton and Dorothy Donegan, Alan Dawson, Lionel Hampton, Cab Calloway, Jimmy Witherspoon, Diane Carrol, Donna Byrne, and Rebecca Parris.
Shawnn has a liveliness of lyrical phrasing and intermittent scat variations that she draws from her influences, Carmen McRae and Sarah Vaughan. Shawnn's father was the late renowned bassist Jimmy Woode, veteran of the Duke Ellington band. Throw into the mix, a lot of musical inspiration and guidance from her Godfather, Clark Terry, and you come up with a combination that can't miss.
The Traditional Jazz Concert Series is co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Library of Traditional Jazz. The library, established in 1978 by Dorothy Prescott, comprises books, recordings, and memorabilia and is housed in Dimond Library. Prescott's generous endowment funds its activities including the Traditional Jazz Series concerts.
For more information on the Traditional Jazz Series, call the UNH Music Department at (603) 862-2404.

F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Betting Odds and Preview
Vettel disqualification opens up title race3rd November 2012 / Lee A Jackson
There has been a good twist in the closing stages of the F1 betting season, with Drivers' Championship leader Sebastian Vettel getting disqualified from qualifying at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver, who is the defending world champion, had qualified third fastest, but because of a fuel issue of not having enough left in his tank for a sample to be taken, means that he goes from right at the back of the grid. Vettel stopped his car on the track as he was making his way back to the pits, with the team having an error of judgement in the fuel levels. Vettel holds a slender 13 point lead in the Drivers' Championship heading into Sunday's race, following back to back wins in each of the last four races in the season.
This should provide a massive chance for title rival, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, to make up some ground. The Spaniard gets promoted to sixth on the starting grid after the demotion of Vettel. There is a lot of work to be done by the Ferrari driver though as he looked to be struggling to keep pace with the McLarens at the Red Bulls at he head of the pack. With only two Grands Prix to come after Sunday's race, every point is vital now. The form of Alonso has fallen away, coinciding with the Red Bull's discovering extra and pace and power over the last third of the season. Still, if Alonso ever needed a boost, he has received it with the slip up from Vettel.
Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren was dominant in qualifying and took Pole ahead of Red Bull's Mark Webber. While the chances of Hamilton or his team mate Jenson Button winning the title remain extremely remote, they will be in the hunt for a morale boosting win and it could upset the title hopes of either Vettel or Alonso, or maybe both, keeping the season alive for the final two races of the season. It was an impressive session from Hamilton who now runs as firm favourite to take the chequered flag in Abu Dhabi.
As always for your F1 betting, online bookmaker BetFred have a good promotion running for this weekend's race. If your selection in the race fails to complete the first three laps of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, then the bookie will refund all losing Outright and Fastest Lap Singles as a free bet.

KAHILI - Baldwin High School has a pair of freshman golfers named Justin, and both displayed the kind of poise and consistency uncommon for players their age in a Maui Interscholastic League showdown Wednesday at windswept Kahili Golf Course.
Justin Ngan fired a 37 and Justin Arcano a 38 to lead the Bears to a 159-177 victory over Lahainaluna in a battle of unbeatens.
"The two Justins, it was a real surprise today," said Baldwin coach Buff Burton. "They played really well today. They came to play today, which I'm very happy about. I thought the pressure would get to them, but they did it and they shot the numbers today."

Baldwin High School's Justin Arcano watches his shot out of a bunker on Kahili Golf Course's fourth hole during his round of 38 that helped Bears earn a 159-177 victory over Lahainaluna on Wednesday in a Maui Interscholastic League match.
The Maui News / KYLE SAKAMOTO photo
The Bears (13-0) and Lunas (12-1) will finish the regular season Friday at the Kaanapali Kai Course. A win by Baldwin would give it a second straight undefeated regular season. A victory by Lahainaluna would force a playoff match.
"It should be fun going to play over there," Arcano said. "It should be tough."
Ngan birdied the third and fourth holes and bogeyed the second, sixth and seventh.
"I was feeling good. I was hitting the ball good," he said.
Arcano bogeyed the first two holes and added a double bogey on six, but birdied Nos. 7 and 9.
"It was a tough day with the wind like this," Arcano said. "The low shot was important today."
Ariel Elftman-Hanson recorded a 41 for the Bears, and Tyler Mune-take had a 43. Nathaniel Idica had a 45 and John Kaylan Dumo shot 46.
The Lunas were led by Tristan Villa, who fired a 42.
"It was a great round for him," said Lahainaluna coach Sutee Nitakorn. "He's been our fifth man, sixth man, so for him to come from behind and lead the team like that, he should be very proud about that. I feel good for him."
Kaimi Kanaha shot a 43, Kerek Franz had a 45 and Lucas Bell posted a 47 for Lahainaluna. Rhett Wiseman recorded a 54.

These penalties are reduced for entities that qualify as small business according to the regulations. Many creditors are not aware of the 1099-A reporting requirements or are reporting incorrect amounts on the forms. Fortunately, the IRS has not taken an aggressive position on enforcing the 1099-A reporting requirements. However, several debtor watchdog groups have been trying to get the IRS to put these issues on their radar, so it is important to make sure your business is in compliance with these rules.
I understand and agree that Poyner Spruill LLP will have no obligation to keep confidential the information that I am now sending to the firm.

WASHINGTON -- They were the first modern terrorists and the forerunner of al Qaeda. But these days, the Muslim Brotherhood is becoming mainstream not only in Egypt, but in Washington, D.C.
While the final chapter of the so-called Arab Spring has yet to be written, it appears that radical Islamic forces could emerge as the big winners. None more so than the Muslim Brotherhood.
In Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria and Jordan, the Brotherhood has used unrest to increase its influence.
The group is also making inroads closer to home, according to one expert.
"Their goal is primarily deception, manipulation and intelligence gathering," former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo said.
Guandolo said Brotherhood operatives have infiltrated the halls of power in Washington, D.C.
"What we're seeing not just inside the White House, but inside the government entities, the national security entities, the State Department -- is a strong push by the Muslim Brotherhood to get their people not just into operational positions, but policy positions -- deeper, long term, bureaucratic positions," he told CBN News.
Chief among their operatives is the Islamic Society of North America or ISNA, according to Guandolo.
In 2007, ISNA was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in American history.
Likewise, the FBI has uncovered internal Muslim Brotherhood documents naming ISNA as "one of our organizations and the organizations of our friends."
Nevertheless, when President Obama wanted a Muslim to pray at his inauguration, his administration turned to ISNA's then-president Ingrid Mattson.
And at a recent White House Iftar dinner, current ISNA head Mohammed Majid sat just a few feet from the president.
"Moahmmed Majid was sitting at the front table right in front of Barack Obama. But when the official list of White House attendees was published, his name was curiously missing," said terrorism expert Patrick Poole, a columnist with Pajamasmedia.com.
Another American-Muslim group linked to both the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas is the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
The FBI refuses to meet with CAIR over its ties to terrorism.
But top White House Advisor Valerie Jarrett recently praised the group for taking part in an MTV "anti-bullying" campaign.
"The U.S. government knows that these are Muslim Brotherhood operatives because federal government prosecutors have gone into federal court and said that they're Muslim Brotherhood operatives," Poole explained.
One such operative is Kifah Mustpaha. In 2010, he was given a tour of both FBI headquarters and the National Counterterrorism Center, despite longstanding ties to the terror group Hamas.
Hamas identifies itself as the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"We know that the Muslim Brotherhood, from their own documents, has said that they want to infiltrate all levels of government and civil society here in America to destroy from within," Poole said.
The Obama administration seems to see the Brotherhood as an ideal partner for its Muslim outreach policies.
Earlier this year, National Intelligence Director James Clapper drew criticism when he called the group "largely secular."
"The term 'Muslim Brotherhood' is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence," he said.
Obama administration officials say they are now engaged in dialogue with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
That policy apparently extends to the Brotherhood in America as well.

A regional fund focused on economic development will pump $1.2 million into efforts that include worker training and government efficiency.
The Fund for Our Economic Future announced this week that it will invest:
• $300,000 for grants to governments that promote efficiency and collaboration in public services.
Program details will be announced in the first quarter of 2009.
• $284,000 for TechLift. The nonprofit program seeks to mentor entrepreneurs in five emerging industries -- advanced materials, biosciences, electronics, information and communications technologies and advanced energy.
TechLift has worked with 340 entrepreneurs since 2007 and helped companies generate $25 million in new growth capital or sales, according to the Fund.
• $259,000 for the Regional Talent Network. This new program will establish a director and a steering committee of CEOs to address the region's need for skilled workers.
The network will partner with Ohio's work force-development programs to build skill shortages for health care, information technology and other needy industries.
• $250,000 to TeamNEO, the region's business-attraction group. The money will help cover a shortfall in state funding that TeamNEO directs to Cleveland Plus, the marketing effort aimed at businesses outside the region.
• $106,300 to Cleveland State University to produce a report card on the region's economy.
The Fund established the dashboard of economic indicators several years ago, to gauge how Northeast Ohio measures up with other metropolitan areas.
The Fund's grants are targeted to lure new business, prepare worker talent and improve government performance, Fund chairman David Abbott said in a press release.
Abbott is executive director of the George Gund Foundation.
The fund is a collaboration of 100-plus foundations, organizations and philanthropists focused on strengthening the region's economic competitiveness.

Democracy and volunteerism: A viewpoint
09 January 2009
Democracy and volunteerism are perhaps the most fundamental components of the United Nations system and the development of humankind.
Democracy was created for international peace and security, hence improving friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equality and self actualization. Democracy is the only way to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character. It is crucial in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.
Volunteerism aids democracy as it increases access to opportunities and services. It leads to better delivery of services, greater inclusion and participation in development, and the mobilization of communities.
For society to function properly there has to be both democracy and volunteerism as each aspect acts as a catalyst of the other. In democracy, leaders volunteer to serve people; and in volunteerism people volunteer to serve people. Both their primary goals are to improve the living conditions of the nation at large.
Both give forums for the active participation of people, freedom of speech, freedom of expression and mutual understanding of the societal issues that exist. People are not discriminated against based on race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth. There is social inclusion for all people that exist in society.
People who bear the fruits of volunteerism and democracy are all people, including people at the grassroots level, because there is active participation of people from the top to the bottom.
Democracy and volunteerism are peace-building mechanisms. They act as early warning systems as inhabitants can identify societal problems before they spiral out of control. This helps to build legal and human rights institutions as well as fair and effective governance and conflict resolution mechanisms.
This is possible because there is careful and participatory planning, coordination among various stakeholders, sustained commitments by democratic leaders, volunteers and society at large - hence more sustainable peace.
According to democratic peace theory, democratic states don't attack each other. As more countries democratize this will pave a way for volunteerism and this will also reduce conflict between tribes, ethnic groups and family members and hence lead to a peaceful society.
This will increase the number of volunteers who want to serve humankind and who can focus more on developmental issues rather those humanitarian issues, hence improving the living conditions of the majority of people. This will also accelerate the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
To achieve the Millennium Development Goals there has to be volunteerism and democracy in order to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.

Dr. Kent Hovind
Taped at Berkeley University in Berkeley, California on April 9th, 2004.
A faithful servant of the Lord tried for 6 months to get even one professor from Berkeley University to debate Dr. Kent Hovind. Over 160 professors at Berkeley University refuse to take the challenge–even when money was offered to them!
Since no one would debate him, Dr. Hovind spoke for an hour and took questions for almost another hour and a half. See for yourself the incredible hostility the liberals show when someone challenges their evolution world-view. This was Dr. Hovind's second trip to Berkeley and the crowd gets more hostile each time. If you like to watch a good fight, you will really like this video.

Brother Herb, could you tell me about the conditions, what the conditions were like in Attica?
Well, the conditions in Attica at the time of the uprising was such that the, ah, majority of the inmates, of whom there were over two thousand, got concerned with the one shower per week, one roll of toilet paper per month, the tampering of the mail, and I say tampering in terms of excising portions of a magazine or letters from home, ah, the salary or wages per day in the metal plant was like 80 cents, ah, and the overall harassment by the guards of the inmates most of whom were from the metropolitan areas of New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse. The guards for the most part were from rural Attica, the village in Wyoming County, County and they were underpaid, grossly underpaid, seven thousand, six thousand, seven thousand dollars a year. So naturally they couldn't relate to the urban-type inmate that were brought to Attica. And as result that created a lot of conflict between the rural and urban, ah, guards and inmates. That's the gist of the problems that we had.

Diego Maradona
Diego Maradona is football. It's that simple and that profound. This burly midfielder became a household name during the 1986 FIFA World Cup when his miraculous "Hand of God" goal helped Argentina get a leg up on England in a thrilling semifinal matchup. "El Grande" further cemented his legacy minutes later when he weaved his way through six defenders to score what many have since labeled "the goal of the century." Argentina went on to capture the World Cup and Maradona has enjoyed deity-like status in his native country ever since. This larger-than-life footballer will have a chance to add to his trophy case again this summer in South Africa when he coaches Argentina's national team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

I just got an iPad mini a couple of hours ago from the UPS guy. I took it to lunch and we've been playing around with it here in the office.
Couple of observations:
The screen is not great: John is absolutely right about the quality of the screen. It is manifestly lower resolution than newer Retina Displays.
I loaded several apps, eBooks and websites on my iPhone 5 and mini to compare. Text looks much clearer and brighter on the iPhone than the mini. Take email: text is a bit fuzzy and indistinct on the mini. It's as sharp as a razor on the iPhone. In addition, the mini's screen is markedly murkier. It's darker than the iPhone's screen, even with the brightness turned all the way up. Whites aren't white: they are greyish white. Everything pops on the iPhone's screen. Although I wouldn't express my feelings about the screen quite as strongly as John does, his assessment is correct. It's a pity the screen isn't better. A Retina Display on the mini would make it near perfect.
The screen is fine: The other thing to note is that I don't care. I don't care that it's not perfect. I don't care that the mini's screen is not Retina. I don't care if text is a bit fuzzy. Yes, I can tell that the two screens are different in quality when I compare them side-by-side. But I've already forgotten that the mini is lower resolution. I simply don't notice. When I'm using the iPad mini, I'm not aware of the screen's shortcomings. I simply don't see the fuzziness, the jaggies in text. I know that a lot of people *will* see the difference. And for a lot of people, it *will* ruin the experience. I'm not one of them.
A couple of other observations:
Performance: Performance is perfectly fine. Yes, it's not as snappy as the new iPad, but it's perfectly functional. Every app I loaded and played with performed fine. There are no significant performance lags or delays to report (so far).
Size: The form factor is amazing. It's the little big iPad: significantly bigger than an iPhone but small enough to hold in one hand or stash in a pocket. It easily fits in the pocket of the sleeveless vest I usually wear. It even fits in the inside pocket of a suit jacket, although it makes a bulge from the outside. It's as light as a feather and beautifully made. Like the iPhone 5, it's almost too thin and light. Yeah, that's a ridiculous thing to say, but I'm a bit nervous about it about clumsily knocking it out of my hands. I can see it ruined before the weekend is out.
Typing: The screen is just big enough to work on. You can't touch-type on it, but I'm not a touch typist anyway. So far, it's been fine for my two-finger hunt-and-peck typing style. I already do a lot of my work on the iPad. I ditched my MacBook for an iPad 3 several months ago. I'm curious to see if I can ditch the full-size iPad for the mini and use it as a fulltime device. I'll report back in a few weeks, but so far, it looks like it might be possible.

UFC and WEC fighters in Richmond, VA MMA for charity
Richmond, Va Mixed Martial Arts
Event will take place on March 13-14 in Richmond, VA
Richmond, VA (USA): On January 12th, 2010, a vicious earthquake struck the country of Haiti. As of this writing, an estimated 3,000,000 people have been affected by magnitude 7.0 quake. The Haitian Government has reported that between 217,000 and 230,000 people have died, an estimated 300,000 have been injured, and an estimated 1,000,000 are homeless. Whats more, the death toll is expected to rise. The response from within the United States as well as the world has been overwhelming. Tens of millions of dollars have been raised in the U.S. alone, and aid has poured in from all over the world. But recovery efforts will be ongoing in the years to come, as Haiti attempts to rebuild itself.
On March 13th, a two-day seminar hosted by MMA Institute, located at 6145 Jahnke Road, Richmond, VA 23225, will commence. The seminar will consist of grappling, striking, and MMA training, and the team of instructors will be made up of world class MMA fighters such as WEC lightweight contender Cowboy Donald Cerrone, UFC fighters Aaron Riley and The Filthy Mauler Tom Lawlor, former TUF competitor and EliteXC headliner Seth Petruzelli, Bellator fighter Jorge Gamebred Masvidal, and 2009 Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) champion and recent Shine Fights signee Braulio Estima. In addition, 50/50 Jiu-Jitsu owners Ryan Hall and Seph Smith will be teaching, and a kids seminar will be educated by the well-respected John Simons. All these great athletes will be donating their time, and merchandise will be auctioned off, with all proceeds going towards Haiti relief.
MMA for Charity is an organization conceptualized by MMA Institute Head Trainer Rick McCoy and Eric Callahan in order for the sport he loves to have an opportunity to respond to the tragedy in Haiti. When I saw the footage of all the suffering going on by the men, women, and children in Haiti, I just felt in my gut that I needed to do something, explained McCoy. I spoke with some of my associates, and things quickly came together to form the organization. Now, the sport gets to show that its about more than what happens in the cage; MMA is filled with good, caring people. And through MMA for Charity, well get to show that.
For those interested in signing up for the seminar or further information, please visit http://www.MMAInstitute.com/ or http://www.MMAForCharity.org/
About MMA for Charity
MMA for Charity was created in the wake of last months disaster in Haiti. Mixed martial artists from around the country have volunteered to help raise money and awareness in an effort to contribute to the relief of the shattered country. The chaos brought on by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake has complicated things for the children of Haiti immensely, making it difficult to tell who is alone and who is simply trying to locate loved ones. MMA for Charity will be raising funds for Hope for Haiti Childrens Center. Several top fighters have agreed to take part in a two-day seminar in Richmond, Virginia, and will be auctioning off merchandise with 100% of the proceeds going to the center.

So far, the tablet sector has been a one-horse race (the Apple iPad, naturally), and has been fairly dull to cover. Seeing dollar signs, competitors have released tablets that weren't quite as good and weren't quite as cheap as the iPad, and they would quickly fade away.
This week, however, that changed, because Amazon just introduced the Kindle fire. Amazon has found much success with its Kindle e-readers, and this is its first tablet.
While it doesn't have everything the iPad has, the Kindle Fire has one powerful asset: its price tag. It costs $199, while the lowest-priced iPad is $499. The Kindle Fire offers a few tricks that the iPad hasn't learned yet. It syncs with your computer wirelessly, so you don't need to bother with cables. It lets you buy movies, shows, songs, and books through Amazon and store your media on Amazon's servers ("in the cloud"), so that hard drive space isn't an issue.
It runs on the Android operating system, so it comes with a library of apps all ready for downloading. And yes, it can surf the web and send email. As for drawbacks, the Kindle Fire is smaller than the iPad (it has a 7-inch touchscreen display, versus the iPad's 9.7-inch screen). It's also limited to Wi-Fi; there's no option to connect to a 3G cellular network.
The Fire lacks a camera, so it can't be used for videochatting. It offers less storage (8GB, compared to the iPad's low-end of 16GB) and shorter battery life (8 hours, while the iPad can run for 10 hours).
Here's the bottom line, though: it offers enough for most users and does it at a sweet price. Price is everything in consumer technology, and this tablet is simply much more affordable.
The Kindle Fire is available for pre-order now and will start shipping on November 15. This holiday season, I doubt Amazon will be able to make enough of them.

The Gossip – Eyes Open lyrics
Well I keep my eyes open
I worry for nothing
And all the sweet things I don't say
Are gonna get me in trouble some day
And the harder that I try, I know
The harder I push you away
And I'll, I'll admit that I'm scared
So I keep one eye open
And I keep my lights on

The backward, Bordeaux-inspired 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder reveals sweet black currant, oak, forest floor and underbrush characteristics. Full-bodied with terrific ripeness and richness as well as a long finish with moderately high tannins, it should be forgotten for 3-4 years and drunk over the following two decades.",,,
Technical Notes
In 1967, seven partners purchased Freemark Abbey, setting the stage for a new era of creativity. The winery earned the nickname the "University of Freemark" due to the sheer number of innovations and significant winemakers that emerged from our cellars.
In 1976, wine expert Steven Spurrier conducted a legendary blind tasting in Paris – pitting the upstart wines of California against the establishment of France. Of the 12 American wineries chosen to compete, only Freemark Abbey had two wines represented – a Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon. In an upset that shocked the wine world, California wines won every category of the tasting, putting Napa Valley firmly on the world stage.
Few Napa Valley wineries can rival the rich and storied history of Freemark Abbey. It all began in 1886, when Josephine Tychson established the original winery along Route 29 in St. Helena where Freemark Abbey still stands. She kicked off a history of innovation, becoming one of the first woman winegrowers on record. Though many consider our library wines a religious experience … we've never actually been run by monks. The current name of the winery was created in 1939, when the three owners – Charles Freeman, Markquand Foster and Abbey Ahern – combined their names to form the moniker "Freemark Abbey."

Stolen statue of former TJC president returned
Published Thursday, 18th July 2013
A statue of long-time Tyler Junior College President Dr. Harry Jenkins – stolen in April 1995 – has been recovered and returned to the College, TJC President Dr. Mike Metke announced today.
"We are pleased that this valuable piece of TJC history has been returned to us and will once again be on display for faculty, staff and students to enjoy," Metke announced.
The life-size statue, weighing approximately 300 pounds, was last seen on Easter Sunday, April 16, 1995. Later that evening, a campus safety officer discovered it missing. Tire tracks at the scene led authorities to speculate a truck was backed up to the statue's location. It is presumed at least two people were involved in the theft. A sharp cutting instrument was used to remove the statue from its footing.
In the days following the theft, Tyler Police and other area law enforcement agencies searched pawn shops and local iron and metal shops. No profitable leads developed and the case remained unsolved until Dr. Metke and TJC criminal justice students launched a new investigation in August 2011.
It was news coverage of the new investigation that eventually led to the statue's recovery. Bernardo "Berny" Trevino, who had taken possession of the statue several years ago after it was left behind in an Austin, Texas apartment unit – and his friend, Matthew Spencer Remington – decided to search the Internet for information about the statue's sculptor, John Harper. Harper's name was inscribed on the statue.
After several searches, Remington discovered that Harper had sculpted a statue of Dr. Harry Jenkins, TJC's third president and the namesake for the college's oldest classroom building. Internet searches revealed stories about the College's re-opened investigation as to location of the statue.
Then, Trevino called the Tyler Police Department to report its whereabouts. Tyler PD contacted TJC Campus Police Chief Randy Melton, who traveled with Criminal Justice Professor and Department Chair Jason Waller to Austin to confirm that the statue belonged to TJC. It was returned to the TJC main campus and stored in the President's office until today's news conference.
"We are grateful to Mr. Trevino and Mr. Remington for their interest in finding the statue's rightful owners and arranging for its return to TJC," said Melton.
Metke said the statue will be cleaned and repaired – there is a small dent near its top – and then re-introduced as a TJC campus landmark. "We are going to make sure Dr. Jenkins's statue stays here in a secure place that appropriately honors his major role in TJC history," he said. "He's traveled enough and now that he's back home, we will make sure he travels no more!"
Events surrounding its new unveiling are being planned, he added.
Dr. Harry Jenkins was president of TJC from 1946-81.

October 27, 2000 not only marked the 10th anniversary of the International Myeloma Foundation, it also provided an opportunity to launch the IMF Quality of Life Awards, an honor given to an individual whose personal mission, as seen through the work that they do, mirrors that of the IMF:
to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure.
The first-ever Quality of Life Awards were presented to Novartis' John Seaman, executive director of clinical research, oncology and Werner Osterwalder, global brand manager, Aredia®, John Jackson, chairman and CEO of Celgene Corporation, and Prof. Herbert Fleisch, the researcher who is credited with first discovering the benefits of bisphosphonates in treating myeloma patients.
For Prof. Herbert Fleisch and John Seaman, their awards represented a team effort. As Prof. Fleisch
realized the potential benefits of bisphosphonates for myeloma patients, John Seaman, with the help of Novartis, was able to help take Fleisch's discovery out of the laboratory setting and get it in the hands of patients, as what is today known as Aredia®.
Werner Osterwalder was honored for his role in helping the IMF bring its educational Patient & Family Seminars to an international audience. Based in Switzerland, Osterwalder quickly saw a need for IMF information to have an expanded international reach. Now, with the help of Osterwalder and Novartis, the IMF has hosted international Patient & Family Seminars throughout the U.K., in Australia, Germany and Switzerland and has attended and presented information during major medical meetings in cities around the world.
"We are truly honored to present Quality of Life Awards to Prof. Fleisch, Seaman and Osterwalder," said Susie Novis. "They work they
do is not easy; there can be many challenges when working in research and in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the rewards can be tremendous and it's clear that this is the driving force behind their efforts. Like the IMF, they truly care about the lives of the patients,
and that's why we're honoring them."
The final Quality of Life Award was presented to John Jackson, chairman & CEO of the Celgene Corporation. Jackson was honored for having the courage to investigate what benefits thalidomide might offer myeloma patients. While the drug is most often remembered for the birth defects it caused in the 60s, thalidomide is being used experimentally to treat myeloma patients, and for many, has led to very promising results.
"It is our great pleasure to present a Quality of Life Award to John Jackson," Novis said. "Celgene saw the potential of this drug for myeloma patients and took a risk in bringing the drug back. But oftentimes,
the biggest risks bring the greatest rewards, and the ability to extend a patient's life, because of thalidomide, is the best reward of all."
The Quality of Life Awards were very well received by both the honorees and our members, and as a result the IMF plans to honor select
individuals on a yearly basis.

Case ends for Jack
By: CARISSA HEBERT
Managing Editor
A petit jury trial, scheduled to begin Tuesday, January 20, has been canceled because the defendant entered a plea of guilty Friday.
John Yves Jack Jr. entered guilty pleas on two counts of distribution of cocaine. District Attorney Trent Brignac said his office was preparing to try Jack as a multiple offender for two separate incidents. The cases were made by undercover operations by the Louisiana State Police (LSP). As the trial neared, he said Jack had two options, to plead guilty or stand trial. He said no plea bargain was offered. Jack entered his plea of guilty Friday. Sentencing has been set for April 14. Judge J. Larry Vidrine ordered a pre-sentence investigation.
Jack was represented by Peter Q. John, an attorney from Baton Rouge. Shelley Deville was representing the prosecution for the state.
Jack faces a sentence of not less than two years and not more than 30 years. The first two years of the sentence has no benefit of parole.
Brignac thanked the investigators from LSP who conducted this investigation. He said they did an excellent job.

Hi! My name is Bailey
I am a Maine Coon from Chapel Hill, NC
Nicknames: My mommy calls me Bay-Belle or Gorgeous-Girl, and sometimes DingBatCat... I can't imagine why... maybe it's because I meow at the spirits and talk to closed doors. My brother calls me BatCat!
Age: 15 years old
Gender: F
Coat: long haired
Education: I'm such a beautiful, long-haired, brown, mackeral tabby with a gorgeous, thick, white undercoat - I don't have to do stunts or have advanced education to be wonderful!
My favorite tricks and treats are: Playing batcat and chasing those pesky people feet!
Where I hang out: I love to look out the windows - but my very favorite place is the big bed in the big bedroom! Hate to get closed out of there... I meow and meow until they get so tired of me they have to let me back in... it's so scary out in the house sometimes and I just have to get to the big bathroom in the big bedroom so I can hang out between the shower liner and curtain!
My favorite grubs: My little sensitive tummy only allows little bits of regular, dry cat food at a time. Wouldn't believe it by the size of me, would you? But, I do love eating dry Rice Chex with Mom... she has a sensitive tummy, too.
My pet peeves: My peeves are, well, people. And, my feline roommate, Russell... IT does not yet have his own page and that's just fine with me. And, don't even get me started on that dog that lives with us... argh! And, please don't rub my tummy! Oh, I really hate closed doors, and camera flash too!
What I love about my owners: They don't take me to the funny farm for being so PSYCHO!!! They let me be CRAZY!!!
My cat hobbies: I love to chase the pesky shadows in the hallway at night. I'm the only one who can see them!!! And, at Christmas, I just love hanging out under the tree, especially after they put all those boxes under there - it makes it easier for me to be invisible!

Put naloxone in the hands of peers and loved ones
Thanks for highlighting progress in the statewide expansion of the program equipping first responders with the opioid overdose antidote naloxone (Narcan) ("Burlington County police depts. now equipped with heroin overdose remedy," nj.com, July 16).
The tally of lives saved by New Jersey police and EMTs with naloxone is at least 90 and counting, underscoring the necessity and effectiveness of this public health intervention. Immediately equipping all first responders in the state will avoid many more needless deaths.
But true statewide implementation of the Overdose Prevention Act involves everyone who can help realize the law's life-saving potential. Along with encouraging overdose witnesses to call 911, the law allows doctors to provide naloxone to anyone who may be able to help in an overdose situation. This includes the peers and loves ones of those who are vulnerable to overdose and who are most likely to be on the scene when an overdose occurs.
Overdose witnesses can safely and easily administer naloxone to restore the victim's breathing while waiting for emergency personnel, reducing the risk of brain damage and death. Doctors must understand the crucial role they serve in overdose prevention by putting naloxone into the hands of those who are in the best position to intervene quickly when every moment counts.

Together, voters can combat corruptionI was delighted to hear that Princeton was the first city council in the country to pass a resolution in support of the Anti-Corruption Act ("Princeton moves to restrict campaign donors," July 17). Hopefully, it will be the first of many.
The importance of passing similar resolutions at a local level cannot be stressed enough. Just across in the river, in Pennsylvania, dark money groups with links to the Koch brothers are promoting right-wing causes. It is time for individual citizens to fight for the right of their votes to be counted and not outweighed by corporate interests and money.
Most people polled are appalled by the influence of big money in politics; however, those same people often express hopelessness about turning the situation around. Represent.Us is one organization that is actually doing something to reduce the dominance of big money and unregulated super PACs over our political process.
I encourage anyone who is discouraged by the current situation to go online to represent.us and find out how to support the grassroots campaign to end government corruption.

If only conservatives would follow Catholic social teaching
Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, retired, is still doing diplomatic missions for the Vatican and his friend Pope Francis. He is also on Capitol Hill prodding Republican and fellow Catholic John Boehner, House speaker, to do something on immigration.
The answer is elusive; nothing happens. It seems Catholics in Congress and the Supreme Court are ignorant of the social teaching of the Church and the constant prodding of Pope Francis to address the blatant issues of the poor, the hungry, the unemployed, health care, inequality of wealth and capitalism based on greed and power.
The social teaching of the church is nothing new. Since Pope Leo XIII's teaching in 1891 up to the present, popes have insisted on the need to follow Jesus in caring for the poor, the hungry, etc. John Paul II and Benedict XVI repeatedly denounced capitalism of greed. Yet, can anyone remember a Sunday sermon or directives from local bishops on Catholic social teaching?
The president seems to be reading from a playbook of Catholic teaching: jobs, unemployment, hunger, health care, food stamps, the environment. And where are our Catholic legislators and justices? I wonder if it all goes back to the challenge of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in 2010 pledging to make Mr. Obama a one-term president, inaugurating years of obstructionism.
Would they sacrifice the good of American people in need just to thwart a president? And could there really be no way they can work to cooperate and compromise or is this attitude based on raw politics, or something else?

Examining school testing is a very good start
There was a time when kids were allowed to be kids. Today, however, children are forced to grow up ahead of their time due to a host of societal and technological challenges. The internet and social media, cyber bullying, school shootings, drugs and alcohol, even playing school sports – with the constant pressure to win – are causing stress levels among youth to skyrocket.
Add to that list excessive academic testing, which today has taken on a life of its own.
Regular curriculum exams, such as math, history and science, and state-mandated standardized tests are no longer sufficient. Students are now bombarded with a plethora of other types of testing. There are benchmark tests, used to prepare students for the state-mandated NJASK (New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge) exam, and the non-mandated NJ STAR Math and Language Arts assessments that are administered every two or three months.
Students are now subject to the federal Common Core State Standards, while the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC) assessments begin next year. It's time to stop this "testing" madness and the burden it's placing on students and teachers.
Thankfully, Gov. Christie recently created a commission to review the effectiveness of all K-12 student assessments. This is a step in the right direction. We need to allow teachers to spend more time teaching and preparing students for future success instead of teaching them how to take tests.
The key is finding the right balance that will allow our schools to prepare our children for success but, at the same time, lets our kids be kids. This commission is a good start.

Senators worked together to protect joint base
I am writing to thank Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-Gloucester) and Sen. Diane Allen (R-Burlington) for their steadfast support of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst ("Sweeney: Protecting McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst base imperative," July 3). Working together, these bipartisan leaders helped secure state funding in this year's budget to help the base combat potential threats of closure.
The base is critical to the economy of our region, and I'm very grateful that Sens. Sweeney and Allen recognize this fact and I hope they keep fighting for it.

Philadelphia, 23-27 September, 2005
The title of the conference has been borrowed from Goethe's 1809 novel Elective Affinities. There, the term "elective affinities" is the subject of an energetic debate. A chemical term that was in currency from the late eighteenth century, in the novel it extends to human relationships, both intimate and political. Since this is a novel that foregrounds "mixed media" such as tableaux vivants (i.e. dramatic performances of artworks) and the picturesque garden, the concept of "elective affinities" also has profound implications for the relationship between words and images. Like the alkalis and acids of which Goethe's characters speak, words and images, though apparently opposed, may have a remarkable affinity for one another. At the same time, as one of the protagonists objects, such affinities are problematic, and "are only really interesting when they bring about separations." The conference seeks – in the spirit of Goethe's allusive discussion – to explore word/image interactions in literature and visual arts from a broad historical perspective, and also as they extend to fields as diverse as Political Science, Religious Studies, and History of Science.

Again! I am excluded was my thought yesterday. My mind got confused with contradicting views. My feelings were torn between wanting and giving up. Am I so insignificant? Is it because, where I was born or was it just me? Some of my thoughts were totally irrational and I feared an unknown fear I have in my mind. I did give up yesterday. I thought maybe next time. I was disappointed and saddened. It was yesterday
Today, I got an encouragement from a new found friend. I can feel the power on World Pulse. In the process towards my dream my heart was pounding, my hands trembling, my body was shivering and I felt and unexplained coldness when I inquired. It was such a tiny effort but I felt like I had to move a mountain. It was nothing compared to the experiences shared on Worldpulse. Yet in my mind was at war, there was fire, felt so much anger, shame and guilt leading to hopelessness.
I inquired and I am in the group. I sense an achievement. I believe I am heard how soft my voice.
I feel I have an opportunity to achieve what I may desire.
Thank you :) I can see the preview it looks ok... but should I share, should I not, is this worthwhile.... Common Amei submit...It's again the same sensation... do it ... submit :)
You have never been invisible my dear lady only that we have all refused to leave where we are kept! Thank God we are on Worldpulse...I found friend, love, healing and we begin to fly.....away from where we were caged........So also you are flying away...soaring high above and never to be hidden again!

World pulse have woken us up to begin thinking about ourselves and other. We have to think positively my friend so that that achievement you sense my come to past.

Q: We mated our hedgehogs last week and have already separated them. How will we know if our female hedgehog is pregnant? Last month we mated them, but the result was disappointing. This time, we prepared everything for her. We weigh her every two days. It seems that she has gained 10 grams every two days and her appetite is increasing. What is your advice?
A: Good record keeping is key. Always weigh the female hedgehog before she is introduced to the male hedgehog. Once breeding has taken place, which usually occurs on the first day, the gestation period is around 34 to 36 days. It could be a few days more or less, but 35 days is the norm.
Signs that your female hedgehog may be pregnant include weight gain during weekly weigh-ins and increased appetite. You will notice the female hedgehog coming out to feed in the middle of the day more, and you will see that she is putting on more weight. Her belly will become big and round during the last week or so before giving birth. Her stool may look different, usually bigger. She will start building a nest by gathering up the bedding and placing it in the nest box.
All these signs can indicate your female hedgehog is pregnant, but I have had females who have not shown any of these typical signs and surprised me with a littler of hoglets.
When you do hear those little peeps coming from the nest box, try not to let your curiosity get the best of you. Leave the female hedgehog alone for the first week or so to give her time to bond to her babies. Noise and distractions can cause the female hedgehog to abandon or even eat her young.

The major portion of the financial aid budget comes directly from the school's operating funds; the Board sets aside a portion of the revenue generated by tuition to return as financial aid to families who would otherwise not be able to attend Miquon. This commitment to economic inclusivity is a hallmark of the Miquon community. An endowment fund for financial aid was created in 1998 and is showing modest growth.
In 2012-13, 45% of all students in Kindergarten through 6th grade received financial aid awards ranging from 10% – 90% of tuition. Financial aid is not available to students in the Nursery. Any family may apply for assistance; it is difficult to predict accurately whether an award will be forthcoming since individual circumstances vary so widely, and since the overall demand may vary from year to year. However, the following information may help you to determine whether or not to apply for assistance.
Like many other independent schools, Miquon uses the processing service of the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) in Princeton, NJ. In making the assessment of need, a family's financial circumstances are considered according to a standardized formula. This formula considers gross taxable and non-taxable income, assets, liabilities, and family size. After deducting an allowance for required taxes and basic necessities, a portion of discretionary income is considered to be available for tuition according to a sliding scale.
Many factors enter into the determination of an individual family's need, but in general the greater the income and assets, the more parents are expected to contribute. An average family of four with no assets and one child entering Kindergarten at Miquon, will probably demonstrate little or no financial need if total family income is $150,000 or more, and therefore not qualify for an award. The same family earning $50,000 will probably demonstrate full financial need, and therefore be considered for a larger award. These average figures are affected by many factors, including most significantly the number of children enrolled in an independent school.
Miquon's limited financial aid budget does not permit us to meet the full need of any family. Typically awards do not exceed 75% of need, and most awards are lower. In deciding whether to accept an award that has been offered, a family should consider carefully its obligation to meet the remaining portion of tuition. Awards are not renewed to families who are in arrears with tuition payments.
The Financial Aid Committee is a sub-committee of the Board of Directors. It is chaired by a member of the Board and includes other parents who are interested in working on financial aid, and the Director of Admissions and Financial Aid. Committee members take with the utmost seriousness their responsibility to work equitably, respectfully, and confidentially on behalf of all current and prospective members of the Miquon community.
Financial aid packets with complete information and instructions are emailed in December to applicant families who have indicated that they are considering a financial aid application.
• All applicants must complete the Parents Financial Statement (PFS) and file it directly (on-line or on paper) to SSS with the appropriate fee.
• All applicants must send copies of their IRS 1040 tax returns plus schedules and W-2 forms with their financial aid application to SSS, not to Miquon.
• In cases of divorce or separation, both natural parents are required to provide financial information.
• It is very important that all forms, including required tax returns, be submitted according to the deadlines given. Late applications will not be eligible for any special consideration.
• Awards made provisionally will not be reflected in tuition bills until all documentation (including tax information) has been received.
• If financial aid is awarded, it is the school's goal to make comparable awards in subsequent years, as long as financial need remains the same. However, a new application must be made for each school year.

Griff - Great news! Congratulations.
Since becoming more Primal, the quality of my sleep has improved tremendously. For the first time that I can remember since I was a kid, I am dreaming regularly - or, at the very least, remembering my dreams. My wife notices (and loves) that my snoring has dropped off almost entirely. Better sleep has made a marked positive difference in my life, and I credit PB for it.

Winning mentality draws transfers to Mercyhurst women's hockey program
Jenna Hendrikx knew the Mercyhurst University women's hockey program has lofty goals every year.
Winning isn't a bonus. It's expected.
"It's very refreshing coming into a program where they don't accept losing at all," said Hendrikx, who joined fellow senior Kelsey Welch and junior Kaleigh Chippy in transferring to Mercyhurst after Niagara's program folded in March.
After three seasons at Niagara, where any win was a reason to rejoice, they contacted Lakers coach Michael Sisti in hopes of joining his tradition-rich program. They knew what it meant to beat the Lakers.
"If you beat Mercyhurst, you made your season," Chippy said.
They wanted to win with the Lakers. They wanted to win championships.
"I was lucky to be able to find a spot, especially in a program like this that has such a great history," said Welch, an assistant captain. "To become a part of this in my last year is a really cool experience."
Sisti appreciates having these former Purple Eagles on the team. With 12 new players, Sisti said he has arguably the youngest team in NCAA Division I this season. And although Chippy, Hendrikx and Welch are new to the Lakers, they have experienced the challenges of playing high-level college hockey.
"They're more mature. They've been through a lot of things," said Sisti, who bolstered a young team a season ago with the addition of Wayne State transfers Gina Buquet, now a senior and assistant captain, and the graduated Jill Szandzik.
"We lost a lot of players in number and experience (the past two seasons)," Sisti said. "It just helped having seasoned (veterans)."
Welch appreciates the opportunity to lead this team.
"It's definitely very rewarding for me," she said.
Chippy never imagined being a leader before. But when freshman Maggie Rothgery arrived at Mercyhurst this fall, Chippy helped her former youth hockey teammate from Cleveland adjust to college life. Now they have joined Hendrikx in sparking the Lakers (14-1-1) to one of the nation's best records.
"It's a lot of fun being able to win," Chippy said. "It's different. You have to have a good shift every shift you're on the ice. You have to work hard every chance you get."
Buquet said it took longer than expected to adjust to Mercyhurst's greater expectations a season ago.
"It's definitely a completely different mentality," she said.
But halfway through that season, Buquet said she discovered "it's good to be a part of" this program.
Now Buquet said, "(It's) like we've been here the whole time."
They feel like Lakers. They feel like winners.
"Everyone wants to win all the time (and) win at all costs," Hendrikx said.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Riverside. The rooms are spacious and lovely, and the common area is great for mingling with other guests or having a glass of wine. Also, breakfast was amazing! Looking forward to rediscovering this gem down the road.

My husband and I were very pleased with our experience at Riverside Gables. The house and room were lovely, spotless, and we appreciated the small things like beautiful decor, complimentary snacks and coffee in the common area with games etc. The food was delicious, and Catherine was very kind and accommodating. It made our night away from hectic daily life a refreshing delight. It was also nice to be so close to the Metropark where we spent a lot of the day hiking and enjoying lovely fall scenery, then a short drive into downtown for dinner. Great experience, will definitely be back!

If you want to be pampered for a night or two, this is the place to be. Catherine and Kevin provide a luxurious bed and breakfast to do just that. We were spoiled from the time we arrived until we left. Cathy asked us what foods we liked and included them in a beautifully prepared breakfast each morning in the formal dining room. One of our favorites was dessert at breakfast. We were served date nut muffins with a type of buttercream frosting! Yum, they were to die for! Cathy gave us some history of the house and answered our questions. She also gave us suggestions of places to visit and events we could go to in the area. The commons area on the second floor provided a wonderful place to relax with coffee, tea or any number of other beverages. There were also goodies left under a glass dome we could enjoy periodically through the day. There were books to read or games to play here as well. We were only fifteen minutes from home but it felt like we were far away on a wonderful get-away weekend. You won't be disappointed staying in this gorgeous century home in Berea, Catherine and Kevin will make sure of that!

"Things are different now."
I find the 1984 motion picture Red Dawn to be more enjoyable than it probably has a right to be.
It's not shown on TV as often as one of its star Patrick Swayze's other master works, Road House (which is to say almost nightly), but it tends to be on most Saturday nights.
When enough time has passed that I'm ready to watch it again, I recite this line in a flat voice along with the shell-shocked Erica, played by Lea Thompson, who is sitting by the campfire all disheveled:
"Things are different now."
Considering the Cubans and Nicaraguans and soon after the Russians have invaded these high schoolers' small Colorado town and murdered a bunch of citizens and their group has fled to the mountains to survive off the land, this is understatement of the year, right?
And that's my partial update.
So much turmoil went down last year that it'll be a while before I've processed it all. I wasn't able to write anything personal such that I might offer or link here at all. I'm thawing out by that virtual campfire of inspiration, but so far, what I am saying in this space is "things are different now."
To give just an inkling, I separated from the person formerly known as the hubbs last year. I was laid off from my job. I went from having two dogs to one. I moved three times in one year.
But! This site is part of my online presence, and I can't let my outdated last post misrepresent me by saying that I live in the country. So I will say this: I am back in Brooklyn! I am residing in the last bargain apartment in Brooklyn, and it is with many thanks to the intercession of BFF ECS.
I will also say this: I am freelancing for my supper, and while it's going much better than last time I was at it in my Baton Rouge days, I'm still looking for steady writing or copywriting work, whether freelance or part time or full time.
I'm optimistic, I have a few creative projects in the works, and I may very well have some exciting news soon.
And finally, as I said last time, the closest thing I'm doing to my old bloggings is Instagram, so won't you join me on Instagram? I'm @colleenkane.

Here is the browser market share for October 2012, based on traffic to my top site (number in parentheses shows change from September 2012):
Google Chrome: 36.71% (+0.64%)
Firefox: 27.10% (-0.59%)
Safari: 2.54% (+0.08%)
Opera: 1.36% (+0.17%)
October 2012 continued to be a strong month for Google Chrome, which gained 0.64% and now leads IE by almost 6%. It appears that the Windows 8 launch had little impact on IE's market share. On the other hand, since a lot of people will be purchasing computers starting later this month (with Black Friday sales) and through the holiday season now that there is no more reason for the wait, it remains to be seen whether IE's market share will see an uplift from the Windows 8 launch.
