Lovett First Sight
Radiating Joy—And Surprising Even Their Closest Friends—Julia Roberts And Lyle Lovett Say "I Do"
Maybe, but the bride and groom were each definitely one of a kind. Karen Bostic Weaver, the Grant County court clerk in Marion, will long remember going into the lead bus to get the marriage license signed. Sitting right there was Lyle Lovett, the country crooner whose post-modern pompadour has been compared, favorably, to a "thatch of nuclear-radiated alfalfa sprouts." And next to him? A more-than-pretty woman with cascading tawny curls, chestnut brown eyes and a blinding smile. "Are you the real Julia Roberts?" Weaver asked. After she got a polite "Yes" from the actress—along with the required proof that Roberts, besides being beautiful and talented, had also been immunized against German measles—Weaver went back into the world with the news that the newly-weds-in-waiting were truly "nice people. I was very impressed but not awestruck," she said later. "I was awestruck when I met Dan Quayle."
The rest of the world merely felt like Quayle in his first clueless days as a vice presidential candidate. From Klein, Tex. (where Lovett was raised and still parks his black pickup truck), to Vienna, Austria (where former Roberts fiancé Kiefer Sutherland was filming The Three Musketeers), people reacted to the news of the wedding—which had been pulled together in 72 hours in a town that happened to fall conveniently between stops on Lovett's summer concert tour—with a collective and disbelieving...HUH!? Could it be that Roberts, after a history of romances with actors, was, at 25, really settling down with the self-effacing 35-year-old composer of such darkly humorous love meditations as "She's Leaving Me Because She Really Wants To" and "Once Is Enough" ("I used to be so much more open-minded/ I used to like to fall in love/ And they tell me I was so much sweeter and kinder/ But once is enough")?
Just as when Mount St. Helens erupted and the Soviet Union collapsed, people came forward with theories. "I think Julia's tired of the Hollywood pretense," said country star Tanya Tucker, a friend of Lyle's. "Maybe she's ready to be treated like a goddess, the way Lyle will." Susan Sarandon's younger brother Terry Tomalin, a sportswriter for Florida's St. Petersburg Times who was summoned from a fishing tournament to attend the nuptials, said (in an allusion to Julia's Smyrna, Ga., roots) that the marriage was "a private matter between a consummate Southern gentleman and a consummate Southern belle." And Memphis concert promoter Bob Kelley, noting that both Lovett and Roberts are long and lanky, said, "Well, tall people like tall people, I guess."
But it was Don Ganter, owner of the Dixie Chicken in College Station, Tex., where Lovett earned a journalism degree from Texas A&M University in 1980, who spoke for most folks. Ganter remembers the singer as a "skinny kid, bashful and sensitive." When he heard about the wedding, Ganter said, "I felt like I was standing in the street and had a semi truck run over me."
The truth is, Lovett and Roberts have been traveling full tilt down love's highway. The conventional wisdom is that they met during the filming of The Player, a star-studded 1992 spoof of the movie business in which they both played cameo parts. But several people, including Allison Inman, 23—Lovett's sweetheart for three years—say that Lyle and Julia never hooked up in Hollywood, since they shot their scenes on different days. "Lyle and I were looking forward to seeing her, we were like stargazing," says Inman. "But we were gone the day she shot her scene." No, it seems that the newlyweds had been seeing each other seriously for a grand total of three or four weeks—or about as long as it might take Lovett, an extremely meticulous man who has a reputation for being a kind of Seinfeld of the Sunbelt, to pick out a necktie. "I'm proud of the old guy, because I've never seen him do anything spontaneous," says Inman. "I have to applaud a woman who can get him to do something like that." She and Lyle broke up earlier this year, Inman says, partly because, despite their best efforts, they couldn't quite reconcile their very different lives. "I'm not comfortable with the showbiz scene," she says. "I couldn't handle everything that went along with it. So it's good for him and Julia to find each other, to have somebody who understands. Lyle must be beside himself. I really want him to be happy, because he's a wonderful person."
But if the courtship wasn't conventional, the wedding, in most ways, was. With Julia's mother, Betty Motes, an acting teacher still living in Georgia, ensconced pertly in the second pew, the ceremony started promptly at 3 on a steamy afternoon. Julia's maid of honor was her sister, Lisa, 27, an actress, who flew in from New York City. (Roberts's father, Walter, died when she was 10; the only key family member missing was Julia's actor brother, Eric.)
The bride, who was on weekend leave from filming The Pelican Brief in Washington, D.C., had five attendants, including Sarandon and other close friends. Dressed eclectically in whatever outfits they could pull together on short notice, they marched down the aisle of the sparsely furnished church to the organ strains of Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."
Then the cellist segued stirringly into the "Wedding March," and Julia—preceded by two flower girls—entered on the arm of her longtime friend, actor Barry Tubb, 30, carrying white roses. She wore a simple, unadorned white dress (size small) by Commes des Garçons that Lovett himself had bought for a reported $2,000, and a floor-length tulle scarf.
"She looked gorgeous," says Deborah Goodrich Porter, an actress friend of Roberts's who served as a bridesmaid. Some guests were surprised by the simplicity of her dress. "It looked more like a slip that should go under a wedding dress," said one of Lyle's relatives, who had flown up in one of the chartered jets the singer sent for his parents. William and Bernell, who are retired Exxon employees, and some 16 other family members. "You could see her belly button!" Shoot, you could see her toes too: The bride, in what friends immediately recognized as a most Julia-esque fashion fillip, was barefoot.
Lovett, for his part, wore the classic dark suit and dazed expression as he stood at the altar, not far from where an American flag hung motionless, and waited for his betrothed. Some of his friends looked even more shocked. One college pal, Robert Earl Keen Jr., said he came home to find a phone message from Lovett that said, "I've met this great gal, and I'm getting married to her tomorrow, and I hope you can make it." In the end, Keen couldn't. But Lovett's childhood minister. Pastor DeWyth Beltz, from Klein's Trinity Lutheran Church, was there, and he conducted the 20-minute ceremony in conjunction with St. James's pastor, the Rev. Mark Carlson. After the bride and groom kissed, backup vocalist Francine Reed of Lovett's Large Band sang "The Lord's Prayer" a cappella from the choir loft. Then, since Lovett and his band had a gig that night in Nobelsville, Ind., 60 miles to the south, the newlyweds and their guests boarded the tour buses.
Talk about your summer romances: Here it was not even the Fourth of July yet, and Roberts was married to someone she hadn't even been dating on Memorial Day weekend. How did things come so far so fast? That question is still being sorted out by all 75 or so people who were in the church, including Roberts and Lovett. "I'm afraid I'm going to wake up," Julia told a friend soon after the ceremony, "and this will all be just a dream."
Like other Great Moments in Harmony, the Lovett-Roberts romance seems to have started in New Orleans. The couple were first spotted together there on June 8, midway through The Pelican Brief's monthlong shoot in that city. They were spotted at Café Brasil, where they had gone to hear the New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars, an acoustic band that specializes in funky Jewish folk music. Among other things, this means that, as they go through life, Lyle and Julia will seldom get the chance to look at each other knowingly and say, "Darling, they're playing our song!" On the other hand, they did dance a mean hora. "They were nuzzling and dancing together," recalls one customer. "Everyone knew something special was happening between them."
The couple certainly got caught up in each other's lives. She was backstage when he played Memphis; Vienna, W.Va.; and New York City. He visited her on the Pelican set in New Orleans. A couple of weeks ago. Julia started calling Lyle's mom just to chat. "When I'm not singing," Lyle told a cousin, "I'm talking to Julia." And even when he was singing—about hats or heartbreak—"His songs," says a band member, "suddenly took on different meaning."
Like many couples, Lyle and Julia developed a secret code: Lovett, on tour, dedicated songs to Fiona (Roberts's middle name) or to his "very special friend." "Fiona likes to think I wrote this song for her," said Lovett from the stage of New York's Paramount theater, before breaking into "She Makes Me Feel Good" ("She's got big red lips/ She's got big brown eyes/ When she treats me right/ It's a big surprise"). It wasn't till he had moved along to the next town, though, that the New York press figured out that the mysterious cross-dressing woman who had introduced "Stand By Your Man" (which Lovett also performed for the movie The Crying Game) was none other than Julia Roberts.
What she couldn't disguise—or even contain—was her happiness. "what I really liked about her." says Trish Shuman, media director for West Virginia's Wolf Trap Farm Park theater, where Lovett performed June 20, "is how animated she became during the set. At the end she threw her arms around a crew member, saying how much she had enjoyed the show." During a press conference in Washington for Pelican, when a reporter asked if she felt rusty after not taking on a major role in two years, Roberts retorted, "I don't feel rusty. Do I look rusty?" What she looked, as she knew as well as everyone else in that room, was spectacular, her hair grown back to its Pretty Woman curls, her beige linen pantsuit showing off the glow of her flawless complexion. "Actually," she continued, "I think I came back with some renewed vigor.... I've been giddy."
That Lyle Lovett was the source of Julia Roberts's giddiness was probably as much a surprise to his fans as hers. Sure, she had been romantically involved with a number of intense, often hunky actors, including Liam Neeson, Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland and, reportedly, Daniel Day-Lewis. Lovett, with his slightly off-center charm, was a clear departure from type. Lyle had made a career out of depicting his love life with a witty melancholy interspersed with moments of irrational hope. In "I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You," the narrator does just that; in "She's No Lady," Lovett sings, "The preacher asked her/ And she said, 'I do.'/ The preacher asked me/ And she said, 'Yes, he does, too.'/ And the preacher said,/ 'I pronounce you 99-to-life./ Son, she's no lady, she's your wife.' " On his latest album, Joshua Judges Ruth, Lovett is the victim of unrequited love in no fewer than five songs.
Lyle's appeal to women may fall into the category of things that some men just don't get. He is not conventionally studly. Yet Mary-Chapin Carpenter won a Grammy for putting to music her fantasy about the singer; she croons in "I Feel Lucky" that "Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh." Asked by a reporter if he ever dreamed he'd become a sex idol, Lovett responded, " 'No' would be an understatement, but 'no.' " But that's precisely the source of his appeal. Says Sandy Lovejoy, a reporter on Phoenix radio station WNIX who has known Lovett for years: "What women look for in a man he's got in spades. He's sweet, kind and gentle and really a catch. And I bet you he'd do anything to make a woman happy. Anything." In an interview earlier this year, Lovett revealed that, for all his skeptical lyrics about relationships and marriage, he had both respect and longing for the institution. "I think anything that's worth thinking about and spending your life on is a matter of life and death," he said. "True love is a matter of life and death."
Family, too, clearly has a hold on him. The only child of a couple who have been married for 37 years, Lovett lives in a clapboard house built by his grandfather (the town of Klein is named for his great-great-grandfather) and less than a half mile from nearly a dozen aunts, uncles and cousins. "When I got up there," Lyle's uncle Calvin Klein says of the wedding, "I figured as famous as she was and he, that we'd just be a little number passing by. But Julia was exceptionally warm, and Lyle has always been that way, just first-class."
Roberts's childhood was, in contrast, marked by loss. Her parents separated when she was 3 years old. Her brother, Eric, went to live with their father, a local theater director, while she and her older sister, Lisa, stayed with their mother. Seven years later her father died. Although she and Eric have career in common, the two have had little contact since clashing over Eric's contentious breakup with his longtime girlfriend Kelly Cunningham two years ago.
Still, Julia and Lovett share the same small-town background—and big-time success. He earned a Grammy as Best Country Male Vocalist in 1989; she has a Golden Globe award for Steel Magnolias and Academy Award nominations for both that movie and Pretty Woman. And yet they are in no way competitive, a problem that may have played a role in Julia's relationships with other actors. While Lovett has a small part in Player director Robert Altman's next movie, Short Cuts, based on a series of Raymond Carver short stories, he has said he doesn't want an acting career. Nor has Roberts, her portrayal of a rock guitarist in 1988's Satisfaction notwithstanding, shown real interest in music.
While there was no dancing at the couple's wedding reception, held in a white tent outside the Deer Park Music Center, Roberts gladly tossed her bouquet to the female guests (it was caught by her agent, Elaine Goldsmith) and cheerfully hammed it up when Lovett got down on his knees to remove her pale-blue garter. "He makes me so happy," Julia said. "He's so good to me."
While there was no time for a honeymoon, the euphoria continued when Roberts returned to the Washington set of The Pelican Brief. There she was greeted by a crew member dressed as Cupid and carrying a bow and arrow. In the first scene shot that day, Roberts was supposed to be talking to actor John Heard on the phone. But director Alan Pakula arranged for Lovett to phone from Ohio and read Heard's lines. Roberts, recognizing Lovett's voice immediately, finished the scene, and, after the cut, turned to Pakula and said proudly, "That's my husband." And at the party thrown for Roberts later that day, costar Denzel Washington, along with cast and crew members, sported T-shirts that read, on the front, "Welcome Back, Mrs. Lovett", and on the back, "He's A Lovely Boy...But You Really Must Do Something About His Hair."
Who knows, Lovett might just change that trademark coiffure. At his wedding-night concert, after all, fans saw a different Lyle. For starters, the usually undemonstrative singer and his bride swayed in sync to the song "Stand By Your Man" in front of 10,000 cheering fans. Then he stood onstage and gave her a long, passionate kiss as the crowd went wild and word of their marriage spread from row to row. Finally, overwhelmed, he did the unthinkable: Lyle Lovett threw irony to the wind and engaged in a blatant, unapologetic, public display of sincerity. "Thank you very much," he told the audience. "And welcome to the happiest day of my life."

The Kansas City Chiefs will open preseason play against the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome.
The NFL announced preseason matchups Thursday, although dates and times are not yet set.
After playing New Orleans, the Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers at Arrowhead Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field and the Green Bay Packers back home in Kansas City.
The first two games will feature reunions with the Chiefs two new quarterbacks. Presumed starter Alex Smith played for San Francisco and presumed backup Chase Daniel had spent his whole career with the Saints.
The league is expected to announce its full schedule for the regular season later this month.

World Party
(Seaview, 5 CDs sssd )
In one sense, this five-CD set is a retrospective spanning 25 years of World Party. (Some tracks even predate the group's 1986 formation, but that makes sense because leader Karl Wallinger essentially is World Party.) In another, Arkeology is an alternative history of this top-notch band, since all 70 tracks were previously unreleased, including new songs written in the last few years. On top of that, live versions of arena-size hits such as "Way Down Now" and "Ship of Fools" sit alongside demos and other more intimate tracks.
From the start, Wallinger displayed a sure touch for tunefully melodic pop, and newer material like 2011's "Everybody's Falling in Love" shows he hasn't lost it. If you didn't know the North Wales native was a huge Beatles fan, you will after hearing the numerous Fab Four covers here. Wallinger also tackles numbers by Little Richard, Sly Stone, and Dylan. His own "Who Are You?" is a bent blues-boogie that sounds like a great outtake from Highway 61 Revisited, while "Kuwait City" is a Beach Boys homage that's as wickedly sharp as "Back in the U.S.S.R."

The PGC-1α gene, which controls other genes that regulate cells' metabolism of glucose, is modified and has reduced expression in patients with early-onset diabetes, according to a research group at Karolinska Institutet. They say that their findings could help explain the influence of environmental factors on type 2 diabetes.
The study is published in the September 2 issue of Cell Metabolism in a paper titled "Non-CpG Methylation of the PGC-1α Promoter through DNMT3B Controls Mitochondrial Density".
Epigenetic modification through DNA methylation is implicated in metabolic disease. In the current research, the scientists used whole-genome promoter methylation analysis of skeletal muscle from normal glucose-tolerant and type 2 diabetic subjects.
They identified the PGC-1α gene and found that the highest proportion of cytosine methylation within PGC-1α was found within non-CpG nucleotides. Moreover, non-CpG methylation was acutely increased in human myotubes by exposure to tumor necrosis factor-α or free fatty acids but not insulin or glucose.
The team also demonstrated that DNA methylation occurs rapidly when cells from healthy people are exposed to certain factors associated with diabetes, such as raised levels of free fatty acids and cytokines.
"This type of epigenetic modification might be the link that explains how environmental factors have a long-term influence on the development of type 2 diabetes," says Juleen Zierath, who led the study. "It remains to be seen whether the DNA methylation of this gene can be affected by, say, dietary factors."
The researchers note that selective silencing of the DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B)—but not DNMT1 or DNMT3A—prevented non-CpG methylation of PGC-1a and decreased mtDNA and PGC-1α mRNA. Therefore, they suggest that DNMT3B is linked to PGC-1α methylation.

99.6% approved for gun permits
Published 6:18 AM CDT Mar 11, 2013
The majority of Iowans who have applied for a permit to carry a gun in the past two years have been approved under a new state law.
The Des Moines Register reports more than 148,000 people in the state have applied for a permit during that time. Records show 99.6 percent have been approved.
Just about 620 permit applications have been denied since a 2011 state law went into effect that requires all sheriffs to follow the same rules when issuing permits.
The newspaper reports some county sheriffs are concerned the new law is hindering their ability to deny permits to people who should not have guns.

I made this for a pot luck banquet dinner. I thought it tasted great. I used a box of Jiffy cornbread mix instead of cornmeal. It came out great. The cornbread mixture is thin. The meat sort of sinks into the mixture. I was concerned when I was putting it together, but it came a great. 45 min cooking time worked perfectly.
This was awesome blossom! I doubled the beef part and added salsa, took the cornbread part and increased by half. Substituted cream corn with frozen corn. This looked really weird when you put it together. The batter is really thing, but then it just comes together and is crusty on top and perfect. Great recipe.
I chop at least a 1/2 LB of bacon and brown it, when making this cornbread, I use a 1/2 cup of bacon dripping instead of the oil, and sprinkle the bacon into the pan, yeah more calories but so good. I've never browned the onions with the ground beef, they just goes into the baking pan, I got this recipe from Ida Carter a hundred years ago, LOL, she was from Quanah , Texas, she was the best cook ever,

Cam'ron Drops 'First of the Month Vol. 1′ EP, Shares 'Put It In The Sky' Video With Un Kasa
Subscribe to TheBoombox on
The streets demanded, and Cam'ron listened. Earlier this week, as June turned to July, Harlem's hometown hero delivered the first installment in his new series, 'First of the Month.'
No, it's not a government check, but it's the next best thing: a new five-track EP from Killa Cam at the start of every month, plus a 30-minute episode in his accompanying web series, which he describes as a sort-of sequel to his classic hood flick, 'Killa Season.'
The premiere episode is, well, hilarious as you'd expect (you'll need a membership on The Red City to watch it), while 'First of the Month Vol. 1′ brings us three solo Cam tracks, plus two collaborations with old Dipset affiliates Sen City and Un Kasa.
In fact, you might as well dust off that pink mink you've been hiding in your wardrobe for the last decade because the gang are (almost) back together in the video for 'Put It in the Sky,' the latest set of visuals off Cam's EP. Jim Jones, Hell Rell and the rest of the background cast join Killa and Kasa in an abandoned warehouse in this delightfully low-budget production.
Watch the video for 'Put It in the Sky' above and stream 'First of the Month Vol. 1′ EP below. The project is available to purchase on iTunes.

DALLAS - Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wants an insider trading lawsuit against him thrown out, but he'll have to wait for a judge's decision.
U.S. District Judge Sidney A. Fitzwater heard arguments Tuesday on Cuban's motion to dismiss the Securities and Exchange Commission suit, but he didn't rule.
Cuban, sporting a black suit rather than his usual T-shirt and jeans, declined to comment afterward. He sat quietly in the front row of the court gallery throughout the proceeding.
The SEC alleges Cuban engaged in insider trading when he sold shares in an Internet search engine company, Mamma.com Inc., after receiving confidential information about a private offering. Cuban's attorney argued the SEC is not correctly defining insider trading.

THE government's obligation to provide quality education has been clarified, and its progress can be tracked, following the release of a charter on basic education rights by the South African Human Rights Commission on Thursday.
Civil society bodies hoping to encourage improvements — or even basic standards — in schools have turned to the courts. Several cases last year stemmed from the dysfunction in many parts of the school system and a lack of efficient management, and financial constraints on provinces' ability to provide education.
The commission on Thursday released a Charter of Children's Basic Education Rights, which states the legal obligations on the government to ensure basic education, as well as services and support for children, and the educational outcomes that must be achieved.
Speaking at the launch of the charter, commission chairman Lawrence Mushwana said despite improvements in education, it was a "serious indictment on all of us" that South Africa was "still arguing about education norms and standards" years after the end of apartheid.
Along with setting out the obligations — ranging from safe and functional school institutions and ensuring access for, and retention of, pupils — the charter lists a range of indicators based on national and international commitments made by the state.
The commission will use these indicators to conduct an annual evaluation measuring the rate of progress in the system, based on the government's data and time frames, but also data and research from community and academic organisations.
"The right to a basic education is a constitutionally protected right that is unequivocally guaranteed to all children in South Africa," said commissioner for children's rights Lindiwe Mokate in the foreword of the charter.
It was a central right that was not qualified by expressions such as "available resources", "progressive realisation", or "reasonable legislative measures" which were applicable to other socioeconomic rights in the constitution.
Ms Mokate said while the charter was not a legal document, the commission hoped it would have a "standing all of its own" due to the consensus and scope of rights that it outlined.
Cameron McConnachie, an attorney at the Legal Resources Centre, which represented a number of civic organisations in court action against the government, yesterday welcomed the charter, saying it would be an "extremely useful reference" for activists, parents and pupils.
Court actions brought by civil society bodies include issues of teacher post provisioning in the Eastern Cape, national norms and standards for school infrastructure, and the timeous delivery of textbooks in Limpopo. All cases were finalised, by court order or by out-of-court settlement.
The deputy director-general for planning and oversight in the Department of Basic Education, Palesa Tyobeka, said on Thursday that while at a national level "a lot has been done, through clear policies and good intentions" the gaps in quality remained immense.

Harmony James nominated for CMAA Awards
Posted on 12 Nov 2012
The Country Music Association of Australia has announced Harmony James as one of the finalists in the 41st Annual Country Music Awards of Australia.
The 2013 nominees are an exciting mix of established artists and new faces. Acclaimed writer and performer Harmony James is nominated in the Female Artist of The Year and APRA Song of the Year categories for her song Emmylou's Guitar.
Emmylou's Guitar reached the number 1 position on the National Country Tracks Top 30 Chart and #5 on the Country Music Channel Top 50 chart. Emmylou's Guitar is the story of a hopeful busker that Harmony confesses, is not her. Although, the observant listener can detect the similarities of her journey – a teenaged girl strapping on her guitar outside Woolworths in Cairns, a notebook of scribbled lyrics at her feet and a big sister quietly egging her on.
The 41st CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia will be staged at the Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Conference Centre (TRECC) on Australia Day, January 26th, 2013
The CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia, held each January during the Tamworth Country Music Festival, celebrate excellence in Australian Country Music and have been a core event of the festival for over 40 years

IN THIS paper I shall discuss patients who devalue their therapists. I shall describe a group of patients who repeatedly and insistently use devaluation as a major way of handling impulses and affects. This group consists of those in the borderline, psychotic, and severe character disorder categories. Not all such patients use devaluation as a predominant form of behavior in psychotherapy, but we can anticipate its occurrence more often and with greater intensity than in neurotic patients. As a result, these patients may present some serious problems for good psychotherapeutic work and elicit responses in the therapist which are destructive to the therapeutic process.
Kernberg1 discusses devaluation as one of the specific defensive operations used by the borderline personality. Neurotics also may devalue their therapists. The relative lack of intensity and persistence of the devaluation, as well as their ability to maintain a good object relationship in

> assumed lake city brass had crimped primers
April 25, 2008, 08:44 PM
I have a bunch of .223 lake city brass and assumed they would have crimped primer pockets, but they don`t, bought a pocket swaging die and its not needed as the primers seat just fine without using it.

April 25, 2008, 08:51 PM
If it don't, someone already removed it.
Some of the surplus brass folks clean & swage primer pockets on grade 1 brass.
Where did you get it?
April 25, 2008, 09:00 PM
Does the headstamp say Match? Lake City Match ammo is not crimped. I reload LCM 7.62 casings for my Ishy. Got the once fireds just so I wouldn't have to screw around with the crimps.
April 25, 2008, 09:12 PM
I am the orginal owner of the brass, bought a case at a gun show. box says federal XM193 and the head stamp is LC 06 My swage dies does not even tought the edges of the pocket. Could depriming be removing the crimp?
Grandpa Shooter
April 25, 2008, 09:15 PM
No, depriming will not remove the crimp. Any 223 I have seen have a crimp ring which is clearly seen with or without the primer in place.
April 25, 2008, 10:08 PM
A few years ago (before the war) I bought some pre-primed Lake City brass in .223. I bought at Midway and none of it had crimped primers.
April 25, 2008, 11:54 PM
ATK runs the Lake City Arsenal under contract. I'm sure since they own Federal, that some of the brass for Lake City comes from the Federal plant. If it was over run, or not needed at Lake City, then they would go ahead and load it at the Federal plant to military specs, but probably without the crimp. I've seen LC 5.56 brass that wasn't crimped, and it usually comes in Federal boxes.
Hope this helps.
April 26, 2008, 06:58 AM
Quote: "If it don't, someone already removed it."
Some respondents are missing a major point here. Primer pockets are crimped after the primer is seated. If it is new brass which has never been loaded, there ain't gonna be a crimp, whether it was produced at the LC arsenal or by Federal. And new LC 06 brass without the "match" headstamp is currently available to anyone who wants to fork out the cash. I currently have 500 "new" LC 5.56 (.223) cases and Kennedy is correct, assuming they are new cases, do not have a crimp that would need to be removed.
April 26, 2008, 10:37 AM
You are correct for new brass but the OP stated -
Could depriming be removing the crimp?
So I assume this had primers in it (like loaded ammo). Im not sure how the OP got LC brass that had been loaded without the primers crimped unless it was some of the PD ammo that is available. Possibly this is why it was PD ammo.
April 26, 2008, 11:28 AM
Federal XM193 is not military.
If it was military it would be M193, not XM193.
It is a civilian version of M193 that did not go through GI acceptance tests so Federal can sell it commercially.
If it had ever been accepted into government acceptance testing, it couldn't be sold as surplus.
Slick Willy signed a Presidential Order that prohibits the sale of GI surplus ammo, or components while he was president.
That's why the CMP can no longer sell U.S. GI surplus ammo, cases, primers, bullets, powder, etc. like they used to.
By law, all GI surplus ammo or components must be destroyed by burning or shredding to render it useless, and the CMP sells Greek ammo to us now.
April 26, 2008, 01:09 PM
That's why the CMP can no longer sell U.S. GI surplus ammo, cases, primers, bullets, powder, etc. like they used to.
I might argue this statement as I have some L/C '06 bought from the CMP. The reason they don't sell USGI ammo, bullets or powder is because they are out.
April 26, 2008, 08:09 PM
You stated "So I assume this had primers in it...."
I never assume anything. We all know what they say about assuming!
The OP did not indicate whether it was new brass or previously fired brass. My response was a reaction to all the respondents who were stating if it is Lake City brass, it had to be crimped. I was merely stating that virgin brass cannot possibly be crimped, and not all Lake City brass is loaded military purposes.
April 26, 2008, 08:22 PM
The X in XM193 designates civillian ammo. I bought a couple of boxes at the INDY show. It came in Federal boxes. Stuff shoots GREAT out of my M4-gery. It also has the LC headstamp.
April 26, 2008, 08:54 PM
To clarify, the XM193 .223 I bought was loaded, I shot it and am going to reload it, so I thought I would need a primer pocket swage, but looks like I don`t. thanks to all who shed some light on this as I thought the swage was machined the wrong size and I was going to have to get in a pissing match with the manufactor. I picked up two batches of LC brass left on the gun range and both don`t have crimp pockets either.
April 27, 2008, 12:17 AM
Today at the range the person next to me was shooting 223 also. He didn't want the brass so he helped me pick it up, about 150 cases. Headstamps are LC with a two digit date, mostly 97. Also includes the NATO circled cross. I thought he was shooting new ammo out of a Federal box.
I did clean it tonight and sized/decapped a few to see how they sized. Had no problems decapping so these are without crimped primers. I am beginning to be a little suspicious these might be reloads because he said he has had the ammo for a while and took it in trade at a gun shop a few years ago.
April 27, 2008, 01:40 AM
I currently have 500 "new" LC 5.56 (.223) cases and Kennedy is correct, assuming they are new cases, do not have a crimp that would need to be removed.
I never assume anything. We all know what they say about assuming!
You never assume anything. You might want to look again. This time you assumed wrong.
April 27, 2008, 12:01 PM
LOL.Can I assume that that was well done?
April 27, 2008, 12:10 PM
Over the last 10 years I have collected and loaded quite a bit of Lake City brass from the the '90s and early 2000's that was never crimped. It had no crimp ring, and was never reamed. I'm not surprised that Kennedy and others encountered the same.
Kennedy, keep that swager. You'll use it sooner or later.
April 28, 2008, 05:49 AM
get this I bought 2 cases of XM193 early in 2007 1 had crimped primers the other did not. lot121 did
April 28, 2008, 11:31 AM
My understanding is that XM193 is stuff that, for one reason or another, did not meet M193 specifications. It seems reasonable that the reason certain batches may fail is no primer crimp.

Pitching. Check.
Defense. Check.
Offense. To be determined.
"The question is will we be able to score enough runs," Goose Creek baseball coach Scott Durham said. "That's ultimately what it's going to boil down to for us. This season is probably going to be a lot like last year when we were in a lot of close games."
The Gators bring back two of their best pitchers and a solid cast of fielders from a squad that went 12-15 overall and 3-5 in region play last spring. They advanced to the district championship game before falling to eventual state champion Ashley Ridge.
Of their losses, seven were by three runs or less.
Durham feels his team has three or four decent hitters but is unsure about the rest of the lineup. Infielder/pitcher Cody Smith, who will hit in the three hole, is the leading hitter coming back after batting .379 in 2012.
Leadoff hitter Chris Singleton, an outfielder, hit .291 and infielder/pitcher Tyler Rio was at .281. The only other starter returning is second baseman Zach Owens but he batted just .214. Everybody else with experience hit below .200 last spring.
"I don't see us playing in a lot of high-scoring games," Durham said.
Smith and Rio give the Gators a stout combination on the mound. Rio was 4-4 with two saves and a 3.07 earned-run average last season while Smith was 3-4 with a 2.52 ERA. Bryce Jonason comes back with some experience too. He was 1-2 with a 4.85 ERA. Michael Hensley has looked good in preseason scrimmages from the mound.
The catcher will be Christian Sillanpaa.
Senior Cody Ward, a transfer from Camden County, Ga., is set to man first base and will log some innings on the bump too.
Rio and Smith will hold down shortstop and Sean Freeland is penciled in at third base.
Along with Singleton, Dalton Lash is a starter in the outfield while Michael Hensley and Kyle Moore are the third and fourth outfielders.
The Gators begin the season on March 4 at home against Hanahan and also host on March 6 against Fort Dorchester. They play at Colleton County on March 8 and Summerville on March 11.
They begin region play March 22 at Cane Bay.
"We're not counting on a lot of guys that haven't played before," Durham said. "I don't think we'll be overwhelmed by anything but our schedule is a challenge. There are no gimmes on there for sure."

DUNCANSVILLE - North American Communications plans to add up to 100 new jobs locally before the end of 2014.
The company, an international leader in direct mail marketing, also announced the launch of its new Supplier Diversity Program beginning today.
Having added 58 new jobs since September, NAC anticipates business growth that will result in the need to hire individuals in entry level, skilled, technical and management positions over the next six to nine months.
As part of the Supplier Diversity Program, NAC will purchase competitively priced quality goods and services from diverse suppliers who uphold the same shared values of corporate responsibility. The company is inviting all certified minority and women-owned businesses from the region to participate.
"We are committed to building a strong Supplier Diversity Network and understand that increasing the inclusion of minority and women-owned businesses improves the economic stability in the communities in which we serve," said NAC President Rob Herman, in a statement.
The new jobs are good news for the area.
"It's always encouraging when an employer like North American Communications announces plans to add to its workforce. Their history in Blair County has been impressive, and Rob and Tera Herman have gone to great lengths to ensure that company has been able to maintain a strong presence here, even when the economy made things difficult," said President and CEO Joe Hurd of the Blair County Chamber of Commerce.
Mirror Staff Writer Walt Frank is at 946-7467.

Blinded by competitiveness and high potential salaries, MLB veterans usually don't know when to retire. In reality, every team has a player who should discontinue his playing career immediately or following the 2013 season.
The rationale varies with the individual. In many cases, guys with limited abilities stick around past their primes to pursue the pipe dream of becoming a major league regular. You might not even realize that they are still employed.
Then there are others who have consistently survived on active rosters as reserves. They want to continue in that capacity for as long as possible (e.g. Jose Molina).
Fortunately, the former superstars have more self-awareness. Lance Berkman and Mariano Rivera, for example, understand that it's time for the next phase of their lives.

is your GC controller 3rd party? if so then that could be the problem.
I dont know if i have put this thred in the right place. I have just bought super mario world with my wii points but is asking for a Classic controller to play. I have a gamecube controller, I looked online and on wii shop and is stated that the gamecube controller works. I plug the gamecube controller in but it just asks me to put the Classic in. Is this a generic problem or is it just me. Any feedback would be welcome. Love Steve

I always use the gamecube controller. It says on the screen when the game is loading to put in a classic controller but u don't need it. Unless the game doesn't work with the gamecube controller then u should be fine. Give it a try if u haven't already.
1)hit the 'A' button
2) make sure controller is plugged in before you switch on
3) if it's a 3rd party wavebird it WON'T WORK as the Wii doesn't recognise them at all
From what I hear, you're better off buying the Classic Controller if you plan on playing Super Mario World. I guess the controls for it on the GC controller are terrible.

Walter Lea
Walter L. Lea born abt. 1830 in Bledsoe County, Tennessee and died 11 Dec 1899 in DeKalb County, Alabama. He married 1st Sarah Barns and 2nd Margret E. (Troxell) Wade. He had nine children.
Walter served in Company C as a blacksmith.
Information and picture below was provided by James David Durham:
My grandmother was named Tennessee Lea Durham. She is the daughter of Walter Lea. According to his service records that I found on microfilm at the Chattanooga Public Library, Walter Lea was born in Bledsoe Co. Tenn, at age thirty-three years was mustered into company C. First Regiment Alabama and Tennessee Independent Vidette Cavalry as a blacksmith on September 19th 1863 at Stevenson Al. He mustered out on June 16th 1864 at Stevenson AL. Walter Lea also appears on the 1860 DeKalb Co. census. Not much else is known about his time in the war except the stories that my grandmother used to tell me. Some of what she said is documented in a book entitled Trailing Smokes a History of the Ider School District written by Mrs. Berthel Adams published by The College Press Collegedale Tenn. 1973. In the 1973 interview my grandmother said My father Walter Lea Sr. fought in the civil war on the north side. He lived about three miles west of Double Bridges during the time. At night he hid out to sleep. He slept cold most nights. The night he slept the warmest was when he was on a brush pile wrapped up in a blanket; it came a snow and covered him up. He heard the Yankee bugles over at the top of the mountain, ran into the house to get his clothes then went to join them.
The accounts that my grandmother gave at that time seemed vague and incomplete. I knew that the stories were second hand to her since she wasnt born for many years after the fact and that her father died shortly after her birth, I often wondered to myself how much truth was in the tale; It wasnt until a few years after her death when I started to do my own research that I discovered the realism of her words.
According to the book Civil War and Reconstruction; in Alabama (page80) by the close of 1862 volunteer enlistment into the confederate army in Alabama had run its course and new regiments were being raised through the Bureau of Conscription. To be conscripted meant forced entrance into the Confederate army and most likely your service time would be spent somewhere in Virginia. To escape this many men in northeast Alabama who were either loyal to the union or felt they had nothing to gain by serving the Confederacy hid out for months at a time bearing the elements to avoid this oppression. Even after the loyal men joined the Union army bearing the elements did not get any easier; Lt. Allen Lea states in pension request for Louisa Craze that her husband James Craze was a sergeant in his company (company C First A & TVC) that he died on or about Jan 3rd 1864 of disease brought on by change of diet and exposure in bad weather without tents or shelter in time of cold and rain. Even after their service time these loyal men again had to take to the woods to escape certain death from renegade Confederate Home Guard Units. These Home Guards did in fact threaten and kill many loyal men in this area. A report from a newspaper entitled The Nashville Daily Union dated Feb 21 1865 stated [McCurdy, Macy, who had taken the oath, was shot in the throat and left a naked corpse in the road by guerrillas under Captains Witherspoon and Davenport. Macklin McCurdy had been a sergeant in company B 1st A&TVC. He was mustered out of service on June 16th 1864, eight months before he was murdered as a civilian.
As to the part about Walter Lea hearing the Yankee bugles this never held any special significance to me until I ran across a diary by Chesley A. Mosman 59th Ill. Infantry entitled The Rough Side of War. In his account of crossing Sand Mnt in early Sept. 1863 he speaks of marching off of the mountain and going into camp at the foot near two springs. The gap where he marched down the mountain is believed to be Snake Gap and is within three or four miles of Walter Leas home; it was the Sept. 4th entry that really grabbed my attention. It states I was awakened at 3 am by a tremendous chorus of bugles, all the cavalry bugles blowing at once and some say there is a division of cavalry here. I know there is a brigade of them. The blast lasted for thirty minutes it seemed to a sleepy fellow .maybe Tennessee Lea Durham did know what she was talking about.

3. Steganography is a method used to 'hide' information.
With Steganography, we have a file acting as a 'container', and we can use
a piece of software and embed or hide another file inside the container file.
Typically, a container file is a Windows BMP (bitmap image) file,
or a GIF (another image format) file, or could even be an audio file.
The 'hidden' files can be other images, documents, or just about any sort
of file.
It's been alleged that terrorist organizations use steganography in order to hide information "in plain sight." For example, an image on a computer, or even an image which is part of a web page, can contain other images, or even plans (in a text or Word document). The program below, S-Tools, complements FTK by allowing you to see if digital evidence has any hidden information.

The Manchester City rear guard has come in for some serious scrutiny over the last few weeks and rightly so given their recent results. Their most recent slip against Southampton will have come as a major shock to many as the champions look to retain their title.
What may however surprise fantasy managers is that fact that despite some disappointing displays Hart is currently the highest ranking goalkeeper in the Irish Times Fantasy Premier. With 72 points to his credit the City shot stopper has eleven clean sheets to his name this season which undoubtedly will have gone unnoticed by many.
While Hart currently sits in fifth in the form table his upcoming fixtures could see that all change over the coming weeks. City go into the final 12 games of the season some 12 points behing their Manchester rivals their fixtures over the coming weeks will certainly give them the opportunity to close the gap on United and with Hart and City looking to make amends after they conceded five goals in their last two games now could be the time to get on board.
Hart's clean sheet record shows that he has been at his almost just as good away from home that he has been at the Eithad, with six of Hart's eleven clean sheets coming infront of the City faithful. City face Chelsea, Wigan, Newcastle, West Brom,West Ham and Norwich at home over the closing stages of the season and while there are undoubtedly some tough games to come at the Eithad it is worth noting that City have not conceded more than one goal against any of the above mentioned opposition in their last meetings at the Eithad.
On the road City travel to Aston Villa, Everton, Manchester United, Tottenham, Swansea and Reading and while their away fixtures are decidedly more difficult than their home games their away day opponents too have not managed to score more than once against City in this fixture the last time the sides met away from the Eithad.
There is no doubting that the absence of Vincent Kompany has had an adverse effect on the City defence over the last two games but with the City captain due to return in time for round 28 normal service at the back could be resumed and Hart can go back to collecting clean sheets.

by Roger Vaughan
The journalist-author was on board the yacht Kialoa during the tragic 1979 Fastnet Race in which a sudden storm in the Irish Sea took 15 lives. The owner of the Kialoa is a wealthy California real estate dealer named Jim Kilroy, and Vaughan's profile of this complex, fascinating man is as gripping as his chronicle of their terrifying adventure. "There are many ways to kill yourself in the name of sport," writes Vaughan. "To win at most sports one must be willing to hang it out, take it to the limit." The one problem with this book is that the author, Norman Mailer-style, keeps referring to himself in the third person as "Fingers." Such a device proves a small but constant irritant in an otherwise compelling piece of reportage. (Seaview, $10.95)

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Wisconsin, the first team to take on Ole Miss in this NCAA Tournament, was rattled and intimidated by the Rebels. The Badgers weren't unnerved merely by the emotional outbursts of shooting guard Marshall Henderson; their big men cowered after several instances of heavy-duty contact initiated by Reginald Buckner and Murphy Holloway.
It was reminiscent of Florida going jelly-legged in an SEC Tournament championship game loss to Henderson & Co.
For a No. 12 seed, Ole Miss sure is stirring up quite a reputation.
So now we have La Salle—13th-seeded in the West Region and, oh, by the way, a truly tiny team—with a shot to stand up to the sudden bullies from Oxford, Miss., who are led by the new bad boy of basketball, Henderson.
Can the Explorers handle what the Rebels are bringing?
"Can we handle it? Man ..." Tyreek Duren said Saturday, his voice trailing off for a moment. "We haven't let anybody intimidate us all year."
MORE: Betting lines for all eight Sunday games | Live bracket/analysis
Duren is one of four guards who start for Dr. John Giannini's pedal-to-the-metal team. The 6-foot, 185-pounder is also one of several Philadelphia natives on the roster who didn't have to leave their hometown to play college ball. The Explorers are infused with Philly-ness, whatever that means. Probably the best way to define it:
There's no amount of attitude Henderson can dish out that these guys can't deal with.
"We're tough Philly guards," Duren said. "We're not worried about any player or team."
Like Duren, the whole rotation of La Salle's guards routinely gives away size. Leading scorer Ramon Galloway is 6-3. Sam Mills is 6-2, and Tyrone Garland 6-1. Even 6-5 D.J. Peterson is undersized considering how often he's forced to defend frontcourt players.
PHOTOS: Best moments from NCAA Tournament's first weekend
So what's the game plan against a dramatically bigger team like Ole Miss?
"Same as every game," Garland said. "Just going in knowing we're going to win and that we're not scared of nobody. That's what everybody thinks of Philly guards: We're not scared of nobody."
In truth, there's a tad more nuance to the game plan than that. The Explorers do so much switching with their guards defensively, every one will at times be the last man with a chance to contest a Henderson 3-pointer.
"We can't worry about our offense," Galloway said. "If your shot's falling, be happy, enjoy it—but we've got to play the same on defense regardless."
More than one Explorer said Henderson's brash on-court displays would go over well in Philadelphia. They not only don't have a problem with Henderson; they totally get the guy.
"We're used to that from high school," said the team's solo big man, 6-8 sophomore Jerrell Wright, who was huge (21 points, eight rebounds) in the opening win over Kansas State. "High school, recreation leagues—in Philly, they talk trash everywhere.
"It won't be a factor against Ole Miss. We're used to it. It won't bother us. Won't be any drama."

Scary interference
Thank you, Christopher Korey, for writing and, The Post and Courier, for publishing his thoughtful column about the irrational decision of our state Legislature regarding the books chosen by the College Reads committee for this year's and next year's incoming freshmen.
Korey states that he has "never been more disappointed than now in those appointed to head this historic school into the changing future of higher education."
I would agree wholeheartedly, but I would add the verbs horrified, enraged, embarrassed and sickened.
The College Of Charleston is not Bob Jones University. The books recommended by the College Reads committee are being recommended for college students, not middle school students.
Regarding the book "Fun Home," do our legislators really think these students should not be exposed to an author's thoughts about human sexuality? Do they not understand that many of these students have struggled to come to grips with their own sexuality, or watched their peers face similar struggles?
Perhaps these knowledgeable souls whom we elected could hold a good old-fashioned book burning, preferably on the Statehouse lawn in front of the Confederate flag.

Limit gun access
It's terrible that some people can't even feel safe in their home because they might be shot by somebody outside.
Only police, people in the military and hunters should be allowed to carry guns. Some people might want to put one in their house for protection, hoping that they never need to use it.
Some people like to go places where they can relax and feel safe, such as restaurants, theaters and parks. Consider children, too.
Apparently some lawmakers are looking back when it was common for cowboys to carry guns everywhere.

Block the merger
We hear nothing but opposition to the merger between MUSC and the College of Charleston.
It is clear to us that those who have been involved in higher education think this is a very bad idea, that the two historical highly respected academic centers are so different that such a merger is destined to result in a mediocre outcome.
A few letters have focused on sentimental attachment to the names of the institutions. Discussions about names is little more than window dressing if the substance of the issue is not being addressed.
We do not see how merging an academic health care center and a liberal arts college will fill a technical and industrial workforce gap.
These two august academic institutions are now pawns in a political game whose goal is to make Charleston a more attractive place for business with little regard for the academic issues involved.
No wonder some of the leading contenders for the job of MUSC's president have withdrawn their names from the search. With such precious academic resources here in Charleston, who is asking experts on the national and international level (such as those at the world-famous research state university systems in California, Texas and Michigan)?
Instead we have politicians and businessmen thinking they can make these important academic decisions without the inconvenience of a serious academic approach.
We urge those in the academic community to give voice to your concerns before the business momentum drowns us out.
Quick, before some senators think they can fix this by simply coming up with the right name.

Help needed
We in Huger need help to open a health clinic, a center for literacy and a shelter. We are thankful for the churches that opened their doors during the cold weather, but we need to use the schools and shelters in future emergencies.
Huger is a rural area that needs some of the nicer things that other communities have: a library other than the school library and services for seniors and disabled individuals.
A rehabilitation center is needed here with nurses, officers and others who can perform drug testing to help people get jobs.
We have to teach our young people manners and tell them how to dress for interviews.
It hurts to know that there are old people who need help with utilities.
Do we need a dental clinic?
The answer is yes!

Read to learn
I have read a lot of books in my life. I have read fiction and nonfiction. I have read banned books, and I have read critically acclaimed books.
I have lived in other countries, other worlds and other universes. I have lived in the past, in the present and in the future. I have laughed, cried, been frightened, been awed.
I have read the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "A Light in The Attic," "The Lord of the Flies," "The Witches," "Of Mice and Men," "Animal Farm" and the Harry Potter series. I was captivated by every one of these once-banned books.
I have read Shakespeare, Austen, Bronte, Dickens, Faulkner, Melville, Plath, Hemingway, Asimov and Dr. Seuss.
I was enthralled with the books of these authors who are considered to be the best. I have read the Bible and "Siddhartha."
I have been assigned books that I liked, those that I did not like, and those that I was sure I wouldn't like but turned out to love.
Reading gives me a chance to learn, to escape, to imagine, to dream, to grow and think. With all the reading that I have done in my 55-plus years I have never once read a book that has harmed me.

What an island
When I first came to Sullivan's Island in 1948, I fell in love with the island and a girl named Monica McGuire. Her family's connection with the island dates back to 1862 when her grandfather John McGuire, an Irish immigrant, enlisted at Fort Moultrie . He made his living as a baker.
The Army had pulled out in 1947 and many island residents were hurting. The only people who had money were the summer crowd.
Part of the island was like a ghost town between Station 18 and 12 and Marshal Reservation Station 28 to Breech Inlet. The only structures there were three gun emplacements.
Then things started to change and homes on Fort Moultrie were put up for sale.
Members of the Greatest Generation purchased homes and gave the island its second wind.
The character of the island is changing. I want to remind people what we have here and thank town council for not allowing multi-family structures on the island.
We are a single-family community and not a resort. Sullivan's Island has fewer homes than some subdivisions and only a few vacant lots, which means no growth.
Residents need to be informed before major changes are made.
I leave you with one of the prayers that I used to open town meetings:
Dear God, May this island be a sacred place for those of us who live here. May those who visit feel the peace and quiet as we do. May his light shield this island from harm so we can grow strong in this community, a place of healing away from the loudness of the world.

Teaching edge
There is no reason to think that the Common Core system will be any more successful than other proposals in the last century that didn't work.
This country has, at best, a love-hate relationship with education. It is looked upon as a necessary evil, not as a wonderful opportunity to improve students, communities and the entire nation.
In America's culture students hate to go to school and attend school because they have to. This is why American students lag far behind students in almost all other industrialized nations.
In these countries teachers are highly respected. It is understood that they are responsible for the future of the nation.
Education is the primary focus in these nations - in most cases, the only focus. School-sponsored sports teams don't exist.
In America the emphasis is on athletics. If a teacher is laid off by a school board, only a handful of parents will attend the meeting. But if a coach is to be let go, dozens of "concerned" parents show up.
This does not relieve the teaching profession of its responsibilities. Some teachers are incredibly ineffective. It could be because they are not held in high esteem, but not in all cases.
My daughter is a very good teacher. Her formula is simple: She has a great passion for her subject and even a greater passion for her students.
This is not magic. It is available to all educators.
If the American public could attach the same significance to the "winningest teachers" as they do the "winningest coaches," our schools could eventually succeed.

FCC intrusion
Your Feb. 22 front-page story ignored a key dimension of the "kerfuffle" regarding the Federal Communications Commission's now-canceled plans to monitor newsrooms.
Mignon Clyburn, the daughter of 6th District Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., is one of the FCC's five commissioners and is a strong advocate of FCC intervention in the newsroom.
In 2012, Ms. Clyburn said, "This study begins the charting of a course to a more effective delivery of necessary information to all citizens."
Apparently Ms. Clyburn is not acquainted with the First Amendment to the United States Constitution that says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
My questions to Ms. Clyburn and other proponents of this dangerous policy are simple: Who will decide what information is "necessary" for the American people, and who will determine what a "more effective delivery" is?
No doubt the answer to this question is that Ms. Clyburn, along with President Obama, who appointed her to the FCC, will decide what information is "necessary" for me, for you and for the rest of the American people and how that information should be delivered to us.

The Ventura County Fire Department is doing what it can to increase protection against a wildfire.
On Thursday, nearly 80 firefighters participated in a planned burn. During the burn they destroyed more than 22 acres of dangerous dry brush.
The burn took place in the Ventura Foothills, just north of the city of Ventura and west of Santa Paula.
"What we're doing is were burning a lot of the brush out of these canyons. We are starting with Barlow and Sexton Canyon to basically build a buffer for the city of Ventura. We have had a couple of fires from this area in the past; including the Poli fire and the School Canyon fire," said Captain Mike Lindbery with the Ventura County Fire Department.
In the upcoming months the Ventura County Fire Department will be conducting several more planned burns similar to this one.
