An array of pioneering research, dealing with various aspects of soil chemistry, has appeared in Soil Science for the past 90 years. In this review, two papers that have shaped the field forever are featured and discussed. The paper by Mattson (1931) and the many others that he published in Soil Science established the importance of variable or pH-dependent surface charge on colloids and soils and the pronounced impacts on various soil chemical processes and reactions. He proposed the idea that soil colloids have an isoelectric point, that ion selectivity exists on soil surfaces, and that ligand exchange was an important process affecting ion sorption. In the second paper, using X-ray diffraction, Hendricks and Fry (1930) definitively showed that the major portion of the inorganic fraction of soils was crystalline. They presented results of total chemical analyses, optical studies, and X-ray diffraction on geological specimens of montmorillonite, bentonite, halloysite, kaolinite, and dickite; the results were related to data on 23 samples of colloids from soils. Their landmark paper paved the way for numerous studies on clay mineralogy throughout the world.

|Schiano on QB Chris Paul-Etienne
After he played the first full quarter of football in his collegiate career, the first phone call Chris Paul-Etienne was going to make was to the person who's job he took -- Jabu Lovelace. Lovelace, who had been the team's backup quarterback for the past two season, was lost indefinitely Tuesday with a broken leg.
"Basically, right now he's just chillin' at his house in Tenafly," Paul-Etienne said. "Just resting his ankle. I'm going to call him tonight."
Paul-Etienne has now assumed Lovelace's role as the second-in-command to Mike Teel. He played significant minutes for the first time in a Rutgers uniform, completing one of three passes, with one interception. Even though he got his time to shine, his heart and mind was still on Lovelace.
"I just want to say that I'm sad about what happened to Jabu," he said. "He's like a close friend to me. We'd go watch extra film together, but now he's not around, so that kind of hurt me. But at the same time, I had to grow up in one day. All the coaches kept pushing me, all my teammates kept pushing me, so I just had to grow up."

Hmm I know its Arums fault for not getting it done, but I wonder if its because he really hates Schaeffer that much?

Don't believe it.
How was Schaefer and Golden Boy blocking the fight in the first place? They had nothing to do with:
The Temporary Stadium on the Vegas Strip
Investors From Singapore and Joe Jackson
The 60/40 Split
Pacquiao's cut that wasn't going to be healed by May 5th
Arum not knowing who to contact from Floyd's camp
Floyd and Arum are the ones that laid the barriers that have prevented this fight from happening. 50 Cent being in the picture changes nothing.

Arum never wanted the fight... At least until Pacquiao had a foot out of the door (which 2013 is reported to be). The fight didn't make business sense for Arum; his bottom line is and has been of main importance from the beginning.
Are people forgetting that Al Haymon is still Mayweather's advisor/manager?
Are people forgetting that Haymon and Mayweather dictated the terms that were negotiated, and GBP just presented them at the negotiating table?
When is the last time an Arum fighter's fought a Haymon fighter?
Mayweather leaving GBP just coincides with Arum's timetable of when HE wanted the fight. It is amazing how this situation played out almost exactly like he wanted. He successfully stalled the fight, changed public perception to think it was Mayweather that was preventing the fight, made millions in the process, and in Pacquiao's final year, he's going to make the fight while cutting out one of his main competitors; him saying "See? It was GBP holding up the fight all along" is like a cherry on top.

Eventually this fight will get made. It's a certainty. And sooner rather than later, too (because these dudes are getting long in the tooth). There's just too much money to be made from it. Stupid money.
It's just unfortunate that when it does (even if it gets done tomorrow) the outcome will solve nothing. We wanted to see them in their primes -- not when they're both on the downsides of their careers.

If 50 gets this made, this can really be a breakthrough for TMT (Teenage Mutant Turtles) promotions.

The anticipation continues to build for the film premiere of 'Mission: Impossible -Ghost Protocol' this December and as promised, the TomCruise.com team is very excited to introduce you to the new cast members of 'Ghost Protocol' as well as reacquaint you with returning cast members with a new series of actor bios! We started off with Tom's 'Ghost Protocol' cast bio and continue the series with a profile of two-time Academy Award nominee, Jeremy Renner ('The Hurt Locker,' 'The Town').
As 'Brandt,' a character with questionable motives, Jeremy joins Tom Cruise ('Ethan Hunt') for the fourth installment of the 'Mission Impossible' series. The all-star cast also features Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Josh Holloway, Anil Kappor and Léa Seydoux.
Jeremy appeared alongside director, Brad Bird and several of his 'M:I' co-stars when Tom announced the 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' film title in Dubai in October 2010 and you can see Jeremy in action in the high velocity 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' trailer!
"Who are you really, Brandt?"
"We all have our secrets, don't we Ethan?"
–Brandt (Jeremy Renner) and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) in the 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' Trailer
And with that short exchange, the motives of Jeremy Renner's character, 'Brandt,' are called into question.
Playing intense characters with murky morals is nothing new for Jeremy and he brings that intensity when he prepares to play a new character. For example, prior to his Oscar-nominated role as 'Sergeant First Class William James' in 'The Hurt Locker,' Jeremy spent a week training in the Mojave Desert at the U.S. Army training center, Fort Irwin. He then spent three months in the Jordanian desert filming the movie, while temperatures averaged 120 degrees Fahrenheit and he suffered from food poisoning!
Inspired by true events, the low-budget movie about a team in present-day Baghdad that regularly deals with bomb disposal under the constant danger of sniper fire launched Jeremy's career into the stratosphere! In addition to his Academy Award Best Actor nomination for 'Hurt Locker,' Jeremy was awarded the Breakthrough Actor Award at the Hollywood Film Festival, the Spotlight Award at the Savannah Film Festival and was nominated as Best Actor at the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards. He was also nominated for Breakthrough Actor as well as part of a Best Ensemble Cast nod at the Gotham Awards as for his role as the self-assured 'Sgt. James.' 'The Hurt Locker' went on to win six Academy Awards, including the Best Director Award for Kathryn Bigelow and Best Picture of the Year.
Jeremy's committed dedication to realism has been part of his career since he snagged his very first paid acting job while still in college. While Jeremy may leave a lasting impression on audiences, some of his roles that have also left a lasting impression on him, such as playing Jeffrey Dahmer in the 2002 film, 'Dahmer.' Earning an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his portrayal of the late serial killer, Jeremy revealed to 'The Sunday Times' during a March 2010 interview, "It really messed with me for a couple of years, that role. I couldn't go into bars alone. I still really can't. It makes me think about how easy it is to put something in someone's drink and then have your way with them."
It was while he was in Vancouver filming 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' that Renner received word that he was nominated for an Academy Award for the second year in a row! With a Best Actor in a Supporting Role nod for his performance as malevolent bank robber, 'James Coughlin,' in Ben Affleck's 'The Town,' Jeremy joined his 'MI' co-star, Tom Cruise as a multiple Oscar nominee.
In addition to Jeremy's role in 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,' the in-demand actor has several films in the works, including playing 'Hawkeye' in 'The Avengers,' 'Hansel' in 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' (a grown-up adaption of the Grimm fairytale) and he is also attached to 'The Bourne Legacy.'
In between his film and theater projects, Jeremy finds the time to write, record and perform his own music brand of contemporary rock, including writing songs for Warner Chapel Publishing and Universal Publishing.
Despite his busy schedule, Jeremy was enthusiastic about filming 'Ghost Protocol,' taking time out on the red carpet at the 2011 Academy Awards to talk to 'Access Hollywood' about his "awesome" experience working with Tom.
Premiering nationwide on December 21, 2011, with an early release in IMAX theaters on December 16, 2011, 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' was directed by Brad Bird and stars Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Josh Holloway, Anil Kappor and Léa Seydoux.
We can hardly wait to find out if 'Brandt' betrays 'Ethan Hunt' or if he really is a good guy. What do you think? We would love to hear from you on Twitter, Facebook, Orkut and Weibo. And remember, to keep up with the latest Tom Cruise news and events, including exclusive 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol' details, sign up for the TomCruise.com official newsletter.

The Brazilian Senate voted 60-21 on Wednesday to impeach Dilma Rousseff. Remarkably, most of those who voted to oust her are themselves under investigation for corruption.
"Brazil has only emerged from dictatorship some 30 years ago and these events could set back the country's progress towards social and economic inclusion by decades." (Pictured, Klein and Stone.)
Troops, police and citizens blockaded the Incirlik air base for several hours after intelligence raised suspicions of another coup being plotted in the wake of the failed attempt in mid-July.
President Erdogan is now cracking down on academics, government and civil service workers, and establishments perceived to support his opposition. He believes Fethullah Gülen, a self-exiled cleric who lives in the U.S., was behind last week's revolt.
Among the reasons for the failure of the overthrow attempt by Turkey's military was the determined stance of the people, who stood up for their democracy even though about half of them deeply dislike President Erdogan.
An attempt by members of the military to take over the Turkish government has failed, with 161 people killed, more than 1,440 injured and 2,839 military personnel arrested, among them dozens of top officials.
U.S.-trained special forces in Honduras are ordered to systematically "eliminate" environment and land defenders, according to a former first sergeant with the unit that operates on the Caribbean coast.
"Washington is activating measures at the request of Venezuela's fascist right, who are emboldened by the coup in Brazil," said the nation's president.
Brazil's former vice president assumed the role of interim president Thursday after the country's Senate voted to suspend President Dilma Rousseff.
Left-leaning parties like the PT face a conundrum in Latin America: that liberalism and its tolerance for political activity offer openings to right-wing parties that have no qualms about exploiting democratic expression in order to quash democracy.
As Nelson Garcia becomes the second indigenous activist to be assassinated in Honduras this month, the former secretary of state and President Obama are being urged to take responsibility for having provided support to "the 2009 military coup and to the current Honduran government that is fueling abuses by military personnel and the use of death squads against organizers, journalists, and students."
It's hard to fathom why Western media seem to buy into the U.S. government's demonization of Venezuela's democratically elected socialist government and yet essentially give a pass to countries (Mexico, anyone?) with clearly corrupt and discredited leadership.
Four Al-Jazeera journalists have been sitting in an Egyptian prison for more than a year because they dared to report on the coup orchestrated by Egypt's current president, Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi.
Using terror to silence people is a method that gets results in Thailand. I have noticed that the medicine given in order to create fear is of different strengths depending on one's social position.

From Cairo to Baghdad, the United States is totally hypocritical in the cause of human rights, preferring the rule of brutal military despots.
An Egyptian court handed death sentences to the leader of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and at least 182 of his supporters for violence in the aftermath of the coup against Mohamed Morsi last summer.
The U.S. government used its multibillion-dollar overseas humanitarian arm to build and launch a social media network that could be used to spark off a "Cuban Spring" and overthrow the country's communist government, documents obtained by The Associated Press show.

Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi resigned Wednesday in order to announce his candidacy for the Egyptian presidency—an office left vacant by the coup he helped organize.

Apparently Egypt's military rulers are prepared to go much further than previous dictatorships in quashing the opposition once and for all.

Madagascar's graceful society and unique natural wonders developed over thousands of years; it has taken less than a decade to put it all on life support.
As President Barack Obama's attack on Syria appears to have been delayed for the moment, it is remarkable that Secretary of State John Kerry was meeting, on Sept. 11, with one of his predecessors, Henry Kissinger, reportedly to discuss strategy on forthcoming negotiations on Syria with Russian officials.

Sixty years ago this week, the United States, in collaboration with Britain, staged a coup in Iran to preserve the control of Western companies over Iran's rich oil fields.
There may be little the United States can do to end the savage bloodletting in Egypt, but at least our nation can be loyal to its ideals by bearing witness and telling the truth. In this, President Obama has failed.

Supporters of Egypt's recent military coup from America's left and right are performing "intellectual contortions" to justify "the mass killings of Islamists in the name of democracy," Ken Silverstein writes at Harper's Magazine. And "[t]he common denominator is that the killers were seen as pro-Western."

Hundreds of thousands of Egyptian Islamists and others who support Mohamed Morsi, the president who was deposed and arrested by the military last week, swelled the streets of Cairo and other cities Friday in an intensifying campaign aimed at returning the country's first freely elected president to power.

The coup in Egypt is on our hands, and lots of luck ever convincing Islamists anywhere of the value of free elections as opposed to violence as an enabler of change.
AP/Amr Nabil
Adli Mansour, the chief justice of Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court, was sworn in on television Thursday as Egypt's new president while his deposed predecessor, Mohamed Morsi, and dozens of Morsi's top lieutenants were taken into custody.
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi begat the misrule currently gripping his country by ignoring the needs of too many of his fellow citizens, says Egyptian writer and activist Ahdaf Soueif.
AP/Nariman El-Mofty
A top adviser to embattled Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi said Wednesday that a coup had begun after the Muslim Brotherhood leader again stood firm against military demands that he resign. There are fears now that "considerable bloodshed" could ensue as a result.

While most in the United States were recognizing Memorial Day with a three-day weekend, the people of Honduras were engaged in a historic event: the return of President Manuel Zelaya, 23 months after he was forced into exile at gunpoint in the first coup in Central America in a quarter-century.

Although he fled the capital city of Bishkek on Wednesday, Kyrgyzstan's President Kurmanbek Bakiyev announced Thursday from an unknown locale that he wasn't stepping down, despite the apparent takeover of the Krgyz government by opposition politicians, according to The New York Times.
Kyrgyzstan was thrown into turmoil Wednesday after clashes between protesters and police killed at least 17 people, according to The New York Times, and caused Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev to flee the capital of Bishkek.

Victor Jara, acclaimed Chilean singer, was tortured and killed in 1973 during the U.S.-directed coup that brought Augusto Pinochet to power. He was to be reburied in Santiago Friday after hundreds of people paid their final respects. The body had been exhumed in June to clarify how he died. He had been shot more than 30 times.

Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya (above) shouldn't have returned to his home turf before striking some kind of agreement with the regime that seized power during last summer's coup, according to Lewis Amselem, U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States—but Amselem also fired off some words of official disapproval about said regime while he was at it.

Staffer: Mike Reuther.
What I read: "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac.
Synopsis: A young writer takes to the road in search of meaning, truth and happiness.
Article Photos
Stats: Nonfiction, Viking Press, 1957.
What I thought: What can you say about "On the Road" that hasn't already been written?
Sure, it's a story about people living on a whim, seemingly unconcerned about status, full-time jobs and security.
Fact Box
At the Sun-Gazette, staff members tend to read. A lot. So we thought we would share what we're reading and let you know how they fare.
Submissions from the community also are encouraged and may be mailed to the Lifestyle Department, 252 W. Fourth St., Williamsport, PA 17701 or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We also are interested in what you want us to read and review; just send us an email or give us a call at 326-1551, ext. 3109.
The main character is Sal Paradise, a young writer who becomes fascinated by Dean Moriarty, a charmer, womanizer and ne're-do-well, who probably reminds all of us of some crazy scoundrel in our lives.
There's no plot to "On the Road."
It's just about a bunch of guys such as Paradise and Moriarty getting their kicks back in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when much of the rest of the country was falling into the rhythm of the Eisenhower years.
For the thousands upon thousands of World War II veterans, those days meant settling down, buying homes and starting families.
The young men of "On the Road" will have none of that.
Much has been written over the years about how Kerouac wrote the book to the beat of jazz music and knocked off the first draft in just a few weeks. Critics have either praised the book or damned it. Truman Capote once declared Kerouac's writing as nothing more than typing.
I think there is much more going on here in this story.
Paradise is like a lot of young men - at loose ends, unsure of his place in the world, still looking to have fun.
I like Kerouac's descriptions of the people and places he has Paradise passing through on his cross-country road trips.
His initial journey hitch-hiking from New York to San Francisco is a marvel. Here, we meet migrant farm workers on the move in the Midwest and some of the denizens of Denver, where Paradise's pal, Moriarty lives at least part of the time when he's not checking out other places.
Many writers before and after Kerouac have used the vast country to write love songs to America.
Kerouac's writing, however, is more of an awakening, even a religious experience. He grooves on the land, the people, the places he sees.
"On the Road" is about restless youth. It's like a long poem set to a beat.
It's a work of fiction, much of it based on Kerouac's own cross-country odysseys.
And yes, it's also an anthem call to everyone that there's more to life than keeping up with the Joneses.
Of course, it's unclear what any of them want out of life. You can feel the characters searching, reaching for something. But what?
"On the Road" is certainly not a political book.
There's no talk of the nation heading down the wrong path, of the ongoing Cold War, of really anything happening in the country at the time. There's no mention of desegregation, of the arms buildup or atomic bombs.
Paradise and his cohorts seem almost immune to everything, except getting to the next place on the map.
Sal Paradise starts out the book telling of his first meeting with Moriarty and how it followed the breakup of his marriage that left him feeling dead.
That's the last we hear of Paradise's marriage, but it seems to explain why he was happy to be swept along on these crazy cross-country journeys over the next few years.

After time off for good behavior, Indie Roundup returns with an opinionated look at recent news.
Awards. The Cinema Eye Honors seek to recognize "the breadth of the [documentary] genre." Their second annual awards were handed out on Sunday, with James Marsh's superb Man on Wire deservedly taking home prizes for Nonfiction Feature Filmmaking, Production, and Editing. Ari Folman's Waltz with Bashir received awards in the International Feature, Direction, and Graphic Design and Animation categories. Yung Chang's Up the Yangtze won the Audience Choice Award and Debut Feature Film honors, while Werner Herzog's Encounters at the End of the World was recognized for Peter Zellner's cinematography. More information on the films is available at the official site of the Cinema Eye Honors.
Deals. IFC Films acquired Alexis Dos Santos' Unmade Beds and plans to make it available via their IFC in Theaters or IFC Festival Direct on demand offerings later this year, according to indieWIRE. Dos Santos previously made Glue, which drove me nuts with its motion-sickness handheld camera work, but his work has won critical acclaim and may, come to think of it, play better on television rather than on a big screen. Heresy, I know. Unmade Beds is described as "an exuberant, warmly romantic film about youth culture."
Adam Wingard's Pop Skull, "a sonic fury of abstracted imagery bathed in menacing splashes of light and sound," has been picked up by Halo-8 Entertainment and will received a limited theatrical release before hitting DVD in July. The description comes courtesy of my friend Collin Armstrong at Twitch. The film follows an Alabama drug addict battling personal demons and, oh yeah, murderous ghosts in his house. We've embedded the trailer below (if you dare).
After the jump: A fashion doc, a film critic, and Gen Art.
Box Office. A fashion designer continues to lead them all. Matt Tyrnauer's Valentino: The Last Emperor scored the highest per-screen average for the second weekend in a row, even though it dipped from $21,762 to $15,553, according to Box Office Mojo. Also performing nicely (per-screen averages noted): drama Goodbye Solo ($12,681), drama Sin Nombre ($11,695) and doc American Swing ($10,174). In its third week of release, Sunshine Cleaning expanded to 167 screens ($7,629).
Festivals (LA Style). Veteran film critic Robert Koehler gets to put his money where his mouth is. He's been named the new Director of Programming for AFI Fest in Los Angeles, and now will have an opportunity to put into practice what he wrote recently in Cinema Scope: "The essence of interesting, vital festival programming is an intelligent argument for a certain kind of cinema -- this kind, not that kind. Programming, if it matters, must stake a claim and declare its position. Putting aside the procedural realities that seep into even the 'purest' of programming regimens, all programming, like criticism, is ideological, whether or not the programmer is cognizant of it, and many North American programmers, just like North American critics -- and they are fairly unique in this regard -- are willfully or lazily unaware of this."
In context, Koehler was slamming the New Frontier section at Sundance for its "profound marginality" and "unevenness," but it should be interesting to see what Koehler can accomplish at AFI Fest. On the surface, it's an odd move; Rose Kuo was hired in the summer of 2007 as Artistic Director to "oversee the programming direction and overall artistic direction" of the festival. At the time, Shaz Bennett was promoted to the position of Associate Director of Programming, and Lane Kneedler moved up to the Senior Programmer post. Both the 2007 and 2008 editions of the festival were well-received. Even critic Scott Foundas of the LA Weekly, who had been scathingly scornful of AFI Fest in the past, raved: "The almost overnight turnaround at AFI has largely been the achievement of one woman, Rose Kuo ... it's Kuo, more than any single other force within the AFI organization, who has been willing to gamble on the intelligence and eclectic tastes of Los Angeles moviegoers."
But AFI has been hit by economic factors like everyone else. In January, Bennett, a longtime proponent of talented local filmmakers and more daring international voices, lost her job, and there's been talk that the festival will be scaling down for its next edition in the fall. (Full disclosure: I worked in the programming office at AFI Fest in 2003 and 2004, though no one I worked with is still there.) It seems notable to me that AFI Fest would lay off someone who'd done a good job at the festival for many years, ostensibly for economic reasons, and then hire someone else a few months later to do (evidently) the same job. A surreptitious way to lower payroll? Is Kuo already ready to move on and hand off the artistic direction to Koehler?
I have nothing but respect for Koehler. He's a gifted, hard-working writer, and his reviews are always a pleasure to read, even when they've torn apart something I admired or enjoyed. When I lived in Los Angeles, he was the only critic I saw who would see as many films as humanly possible each day at festivals. Yet his hiring leads to other questions. Will AFI Fest give up on the splashy, star-filled gala presentations that help garner mainstream press notice, which are seemingly essential for a festival that takes place in Hollywood? Will Koehler steer the program toward even more challenging fare, and trust that an audience will follow? Will the fest's partnership with the American Film Market be affected?
The next edition of AFI Fest is slated for October 30 to November 7.
Festivals (NY Style). Crossing time and space, the Gen Art Film Festival kicks off in New York tonight with the local premiere of Derick Martini's Lymelife, starring Alec Baldwin, Kieran Culkin, Rory Culkin, Jill Hennessy, Timothy Hutton, Cynthia Nixon, and Emma Roberts. It will be preceded by the excellent short film Trece años by the very talented Topaz Adizes, which I saw at AFI Dallas the other night. It's the rare short that leaves you wanting more.
The festival continues through April 7, with one short, one feature, and one party each night, which sounds pretty balanced to me. Check out the fest's official site for ticket availability and more information about the films.

Whether it's a 5K or marathon, you have to prepare for race-day. Preparation includes registration,training and gathering all the essentials you need before the start line (watch, iPod, bib number, fuel and gels). There's a ton to remember prior to the start line that often times post race essentials slip your mind.
As you prep for your next race, try to think past the finish line. What will you need to recover and survive the post-race festivities? Here are some key items you should keep in your bag to help you recover (plus, these usually are not passed out at the finish line). Have a small cosmetic bag in your bathroom with these items, so the next time you prep for an event you can just throw this into your bag.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The aging Sandusky residents who are struggling to maintain their beloved community center still need help badly in order to properly maintain the historic facility.
But they've received little additional assistance over the summer after making a plea for help in May.
The group asked for volunteers, cash donations and donations of time and materials to do needed repairs on the aging building.
Unfortunately, there's been "very little response," said Paul Hamm, an 83-year-old Sandusky resident who serves as the facility's unpaid manager and maintenance person. "A couple of people called. They said they would see if they could help us any, but that's as far as it went. It seems like it's at a standstill."
"We are open to anything anybody can do to help us," Hamm said.
Sandusky is a close-knit enclave located near Pratt City and Forestdale. The Senior Citizen and Community Center, located on the Pratt Highway, is housed in a portion of the old Sandusky School, which closed in the mid-1980s.
The Center features a walking track, shade trees, picnic tables and an events hall that is rented out for weddings, receptions, family reunions, church functions and suppers, and a regular Friday night dance with a country band.
The rentals of the events hall are the primary source of income for the group, but they are not enough to help fund any serious repairs or maintenance.
"I am paying the bills on it, and that is about it," Hamm said. "We need some funds to help keep it going."
The core group of volunteers, board members and long-time Sandusky residents who care about the facility, who make donations and work to maintain it through a non-profit group formed in 1990, is shrinking.
The members of this group are aging -- most are in their 70s and 80s -- and many of the people who helped manage the facility have died, moved away or dealt with illnesses.
Hamm said he has lived in Sandusky since 1956, and his wife, Evelyn, attended Sandusky School.
The residents formed the non-profit in 1990 and, with the help of then-County Commissioner Mary Buckelew, got the deed to the facility from the County in about 1992.
The Center also received some grant support through the county in the 1990s, including help for the initial renovation of the school building.
One source of financial support for the facility in the 1990s came from small but regular donations that were pledged by members of the community, but those gradually began to dry up. "The donations started dwindling as a lot of people died or moved away," Hamm said in May.
And vandalism -- many windows have been broken out -- is a continuing problem.
Hamm said in May that the group still has some money in the bank but that it will not last long if they fix the roof, fix numerous broken windows and do other needed repairs and painting.
Hamm said today that he has been soliciting some estimates to fix the roof and that it will cost at least $12,000.
Some people are chipping in to help Hamm.
He said that he has been offered assistance in staging a big yard sale this fall to raise some money for the Center.
"And some other people who have come to the (Friday) dances -- some of the ladies - said they would help set up and price things if there's a yard sale," he said.
Since early summer, two men who live near the Center have helped mow the grass, Hamm said.
The non-profit may inquire regarding some form of assistance from Jefferson County. "We don't get anything from anybody except for renting that building," Hamm said. "We don't get any money from the city, state, country, anybody."
The group needs help quickly given the state of the facility, according to Hamm. "The building is deteriorating, so we need some help to get it in good shape," he said. "And it's for the community and for the people who want to rent it."
Several churches have used the Center for meetings, as well as other groups from as far away as Gadsden and Anniston, according to Hamm.
"Everybody I've talked to said it's one of the bigger places around, and it's handy to get to, and we always have it clean," he said.
The school building that houses the Center was given an official historic designation in 1992 by the Alabama State Historical Commission.
For information about the Center, or to find out how to help, call Hamm at 205-798-0804 or Wayne or Sandra Studyvin at 205-798-9427.

Catching up with John Lotulelei, future Seahawk?
June 25, 2013 - Robert Collias
Here is the start of my story from today's paper on Baldwin graduate John Lotulelei, who has a good shot of making the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free-agent linebacker:
John Lotulelei is in bring-it-on mode.
The undrafted free-agent rookie linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks out of Baldwin High School and Nevada-Las Vegas knows now is the time that will determine his immediate future with the team.
Organized team activities and minicamp have been completed. The next and final step is training camp, which will open in late July.
"I finished OTAs and minicamp really strong, left a great impression," Lotulelei said last week. "Right now we have workouts and I just can't wait to get back when we come back for camp."
Individual workouts for rookies with Seattle strength and conditioning coach Chris Carlisle end today. The work is daunting.
"You do 20 push-ups on a bench, 15 on a ball and then 10 on the ground," Carlisle said on the team website in a story published Friday. "When they're done with their two sets of that, they can't lift themselves off the ground.
"But they're enjoying it. There's a lot of teaching still going on with these young guys."
Lotulelei fits that description, being called in for extra work with fellow undrafted free-agent linebacker Craig Wilkins.
"Right now we are trying to learn their version of staying healthy and staying fit," Lotulelei said. "I got along with the players, I got along with the coaches. The coaches have me and this other linebacker coming in early, 6 o'clock in the morning to catch up on plays that the veterans know. It is great experience."
The 5-foot-11, 233-pound Lotulelei likes his chances at becoming just the third Maui County product to claim a spot on an NFL 53-man roster, joining current Oakland Raiders linebacker Kaluka Maiava and retired defensive lineman Kimo von Oelhoffen.
"I am going to do what I have to do," Lotulelei said. "You know what? I do feel confident that I am going to make this roster. I am just trying to take my playing to another step, another notch. Last week at minicamp I feel like I improved from OTAs. At OTAs I started learning all the plays.
"The roster, just hearing about it, gets your heart beating pretty fast. That's the mentality that I am going to have to live with from now until the time of making the cuts. I have to be confident of making the roster."

File History is a new automated system for continuously protecting your personal files stored in several key locations.
Any time your personal files change, there will be a copy stored on a dedicated, external storage device of your choice. File History continuously protects your personal files stored in libraries, desktop, favorites and contacts folders. It periodically (every hour by default) scans the file system for changes and copies changed files to another location. Over time, File History builds a complete history of the changes made to any personal file.
File History was introduced in Windows 8, and gives you a new way to protect your files. It supersedes the existing Windows Backup and Restore features of Windows 7 because it was never a very popular application. This leaves your personal data and digital memories quite vulnerable, as any accident can lead to data loss.
In Windows 8, Microsoft is actively trying to:
While designing File History, Microsoft used what it had learned in the past and added requirements to address the changing needs of PC users:
When a specific point in time (PiT) version of a file or even an entire folder is needed, you can quickly find it and restore it. The restore application was designed to offer an engaging experience optimized for browsing, searching, previewing and restoring files.
Before you start using File History to back up your files, you'll need to set up a drive to which you will save files. Microsoft recommends you use an external drive or network location to help protect your files against a crash or other PC problem.
File History only saves copies of files in your libraries, contacts, favorites and on your desktop. If you have folders elsewhere you want backed up, you can add them to one of your existing libraries or create a new library.
To set up File History:
You can also set up a drive in AutoPlay by connecting the drive to your PC, tapping or clicking the notification that appears, then tapping or clicking "Configure this drive for backup." That's it. From that moment, every hour, File History will check your libraries, desktop, favorites and contacts for any changes. If it finds changed files, it will automatically copy them to the File History drive.
When something bad happens and one or more personal files are lost, the restore application makes it easy to:
Microsoft designed the restore application for wide-screen displays and wanted to offer a unique, engaging and convenient way of finding a specific version of a file by looking at its preview.
With other backup applications, you have to select a backup set created on a specific date. Then you have to browse to find a specific folder and then find the one file you need. At this point, however, it's impossible to open the file or preview its contents to determine if it's the correct one. You have to restore the file and if it isn't the right version, you have to start over.
With File History, the search starts right in Windows Explorer. You can browse to a specific location and click or tap on the History button in the Explorer ribbon to see all versions of the selected library, folder or individual file. For example, when you select a Pictures library and click or tap on the History button, you'll see the entire history of the library. When you click on a specific file, you can see the entire history of the selected picture.
You can easily navigate to the desired version by clicking on the Previous/Next buttons or by swiping the screen. Once you've found the version for which you're looking, you can click the Restore button to bring it back. The selected version will be restored to its original location.
Instead of protecting the entire system (the OS, applications, settings and user files), File History focuses on your personal files. That's what is most precious and the most difficult to recreate in case of an accident.
In the past, most backup applications used the brute-force method of checking for changes in directories or files by scanning the entire volume. This approach could significantly affect system performance and required an extended period of time to complete. File History, on the other hand, takes advantage of the NTFS change journal.
The NTFS change journal records any changes made to any files stored on an NTFS volume. Instead of scanning the volume, which involves opening and reading directories, File History opens the NTFS change journal and quickly scans it for any changes. Based on this information, it creates a list of files that have changed and need to be copied. The process is quick and efficient.
File History was designed to be easily interrupted and quick to resume. This way, File History can resume its operation without needing to start over when a system goes into sleep mode, when a user logs off, when the system gets too busy and needs more CPU cycles to complete foreground operations, or when the network connection is lost or saturated.
File History was designed to work well on any PC, including small form-factor PCs with limited resources and tablets. It uses system resources in such a way as to minimize the impact on system performance, battery life and overall experience.
File History takes into account:
Based on all of these factors, which are rechecked every 10 seconds, it determines the optimal way to back up your data. If any of those conditions change, the service makes a decision to reduce or increase quota or suspend or terminate the backup cycle.
When File History is running, it gracefully handles state transitions. For example, when you close the lid of your laptop, disconnect an external drive, or leave home and take your laptop out of range of the home wireless network, File History takes the appropriate action as follows:
Microsoft designed File History with two objectives in mind: to offer the best possible protection of your personal files and to offer ease of use, simplicity and peace of mind.
If you want to take advantage of File History, you only have to make a few, simple decisions. In most cases, these decisions will be limited to only one: which external drive to use. Windows 8 takes care of the rest. File History operates transparently and doesn't affect the UX, reliability or performance of Windows in any way. Next month, I'll cover some of the more advanced backup features of Windows 8 and File History.

Colleyville man who ran Ponzi scheme, then ran off to Greece sentenced to 210 months in federal prison
According to federal court documents, over the course of four years Christoper Blackwell of Colleyville managed to swindle investors out of $8.6 million, give or take. His victims lived all over — from Dallas to Canada, California to Florida. Blackwell told investors, among them one "D.W." from Dallas, that if they gave him just a little money — say, $325,000 — he would invest it in low-risk ventures that would yield big returns. But, of course, that didn't happen. From January 2007 until June 2011, when he was finally arrested in Phoenix, Blackwell kept it all, except for the few dollars he got from new investors to pay older ones wondering that happened to their money.
Blackwell, 34, was arrested following an undercover sting and pleaded guilty to running his Ponzi scheme in July 2011 — then took off for the island of Corfu in Greece, where, on April 16 of last year, he was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations and the Athens and the Hellenic National Police. He came back home on November 11.
And now authorities know where he will be for the next 17 or so years — in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Terry R. Means sentenced Blackwell to 210 months behind bars. He must also pay $8.6 million in restitution, says the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"Bringing Christopher Blackwell to justice is an excellent example of law enforcement cooperation," says Acting U.S. Marshal Benjamin Kates of the Northern District of Texas.

The drill is the most popular and versatile of all power tools and has become an essential in every DIY tool kit. Not only useful for drilling holes into a variety of materials, they can also be used to drive home screws (with the correct bit attached).
Consider whether you will be looking for a drill with a 'hammer' action - Not only can these drills rotate a drill bit, but they can also apply a 'hammering' action. Switch to hammer (or impact) mode, and the drill bit is vibrated and shunted forwards rapidly as it turns. This makes for quick work, especially through harder wall surfaces or materials. Fit a specialist chisel bit, and you can use your hammer drill for 'chasing' - making a channel in walls to hide wires and cables.
This guide will help you to choose the right drill for your needs - and explain the function of some of the most popular accessories.

Mens Golf Fifth After 36 Holes in Carmel
CARMEL, Ind. – James Blackwell played even through the opening two rounds at the Mid-American Conference Championships to lead the Ball State men's golf team Friday.
Ball State is fifth as a team with a 36-hole total of 590 (+14). The Cardinals opened with a 292 in the morning round and posted a 298 in the afternoon at Prairie View Golf Club.
Kent State, looking for its sixth straight MAC title, leads the field at 570 (-6). The Golden Flashes own a five-stroke lead over Akron (-1) heading into Saturday's third round. Toledo (+3) is third and Eastern Michigan (+8) is fourth.
"We got off to good starts in both rounds," Ball State head coach Mike Fleck said. "We gave some shots away in the first round but still had pretty good productivity throughout the lineup. In the second round, we had a really good score from James and a couple other decent scores, but we were missing that fourth score."
Blackwell is five shots back on the individual leaderboard in a tie for eighth place after rounds of 74 and 70. The sophomore from Buffalo, N.Y., birdied the first three holes of his second round and four of his first six on the way to the lowest round of his college career.
Kent State's Corey Conners and Akron's Charlie Bull are tied for the lead at 5-under. Conners, the 2012 MAC Championships medalist, carded the round of the day with a 67 in the afternoon.
Tyler Merkel and Keegan McKinney are the next Cardinals on the leaderboard in a tie for 20th at 148 (+4). Merkel's 2-under 70 was the second-best first round of any player in the field, but he dropped with a 78 in the afternoon. McKinney struggled with consistency off the tee but scrambled his way to rounds of 73 and 75.
McCormick Clouser posted a pair of 75s and is tied for 25th at 6-over 150, while Albert Jennings is tied for 38th at 10-over 154 (76-78).
Ball State will play in the second wave of teams Saturday with tee times starting at 8:40 a.m. The Cardinals will be paired with Eastern Michigan and Bowling Green. The fourth and final round will be played Sunday.
"Luckily, we have a lot of golf to play," Fleck said. "I feel like we are in a good position to move up, having not played our best golf yet."

Probably because the election is over.
Do you wonder why the Left whines about the election results?
They still think Hanoi Kerry is a "war hero"
They don't know what a traitor he is!
Time to stop beating a dead horseface.
He's a proven failure. He may run again, but he definitely won't get the nomination. And is there even any real doubt that his Senate seat is safe?
Those whiny crybabies just don't get it. WAAAAAHHHH!!!!! WAAAAHHHH!!!! WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Someone call the Waaaahhhmbulance.
I thought he was the come back kid?
We must never relent.
They are saving it in case he runs against Hillary in the primaries next election.
Dey goin ta drop da bomb, baby, drop a bomb on he.
They do NOT want to know.
Remember, a lot of media folks despise the military.
Naaah, that horse is dead.
If Bush hadn't signed it they would have gone ballistic screaming "coverup"!
Hypocritcal double-standard Leftist mainstream media sucks.
It will never happen now.
If he had won, he would have buried his poor record forever.
Since he lost, no one cares.
"Time to stop beating a dead horseface."
The election is over.
And Viet Nam Vets are STILL "war criminals", except for Hanoi Kerry.
He's right and we are wrong.
And 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on the Viet Nam Wall still get no justice.
He's a poor candidate, but his wife is sure a babe.
Heard or read a rumor that the Swiftees might continue to pursue skerry in order to remove him from the Senate. Does anyone know anything about that?
We should all bombard these people and demand answers..!...Why shouldnt this kind of information on ANY Presidential wannabe be available to us..?..!
Because they won't ask Sandy Berger what he stuffed into his underwear. Because it wouldn't go well at their weekly dinner parties at Tina Brown's.
As dead as he is, he must be brought to justice.
Kerry is damaged goods. I don't think we'll be seeing a New England canidtate for a while either. Can you imagine the howling from the MSM if Dubya tried a stunt like Kerry's refusal to sign form 180?
Whether he runs or not, he still has to answer for what he said about Vietnam Vets. Period.
I'm politics illeterate: what is form 180?.
I would think it would look like an out to get him sort of thing if done right after the election - and President Bush would get the blame - (what else is new)
Considering all that has been writen - I would think there was someone out there who has the power to investigate him - and get to the bottom of the issues - and if/when it was needed - come forward with what was known -
But then I held out hope that once Clinton was out of office - something would be done to expose him down the line - Since nothing has come out or is in the works - I take it he has become a part of the political game they all play -
Why? They are afraid of what they (we) will find.
His own running mate was shocked to find out JfnK talked with "terrorists" in Vietnam. Newsweek held everything back until after the elections so that no one will will care to read about the loser.
Form 180 is what would make ALL of his military records public
This man belongs in jail, not the US Senate. I hope the Swifties or Crushkerry or any one of these outfits keep the heat on to expose this traitor for just what he is.
But I DO care. I want him out of the Senate and in prison. I know there's no chance of him actually getting justice, but removing him from the Senate would be sweet.
all of those news outlets are liberal biased, how can you expect them to persecute one of their own? gigilo will get away with doing what he did just like slick willy got away with rape, hildebeast got away with the death of vince foster and then there's ron brown's death and let us not forget teddy hiccup killing maryjo and how about the sandy burger incident? the list goes on and on.....
"They don't know what a traitor he is!"
IMHO...I don't think that the MSM believes sKerry is a traitor.
They view him as a hero because they look at the world and the Vietnam war the EXACT same way that sKerry does.
"the Swifites might continue to persue skerry"
yes yes, I heard that rumor here in MA, also heard gigilo is going to finish out his term in the Senate and the "persue other interests" ahem, wth does that mean, windsurfing??? lmao!
The media won't press Kerry because they know what they'll find - he did not get an honorable discharge.
"Vengeance is mine," somebody I think said...
He is going to run again in 2008, whether it's a rerun for the Presidency or his Senate seat. The MSM doesn't care about him because he doesn't have an (R) after his name.
I hope he does run again, it was oh so much fun captioning his
pictures on this site:)
I tried to talk to my brother about the Dan Rather forgery, and he'd never heard about it. He watches CBS News!
Most people are so brainwashed, that even when they hear the truth, they don't care. "If it was important, the well-respected news agency I watch would have told me."
It's nice to see people migrating over here with a genuine interest in the truth. Welcome aboard, and fasten your seatbelt.
Conventional wisdom is that Kerry will emerge as a major player in the Senate. It will be interesting to see what develops over the next year or so.
Tonk, I'm with you.
The stake has been set. Now it needs to be driven home.
Kerry was a traitor to his country in 1971. It can't be spun any other way.
He has been getting a free pass for 33 years.
Many who he dishonored have gone on to their reward. Who is left to speak for them?
It is we who have to expose this man as the "unfit for any command" man.
Don't call yourself a war criminal......the only one who earned that title nearly won the presidency. That frightening thought makes us want to do what we can to expose him for what he is.
The problem is they do know what a traitor he is and was, and they do not care.
They will never report how he betrayed our country because many of them are so commited to the belief that the Vietnam war was wrong and he is an "Anti-War Hero" to them. These people have alot of emotions invested in this false belief, and it is hard for them to let go. IMHO
The election is over. Let the man go back to gigilo-ville in peace.
My prediction is that Kerry and Teresa will be divorced by then; so no chances for Kerry in 2008.
"IMHO...I don't think that the MSM believes sKerry is a traitor.
They view him as a hero because they look at the world and the Vietnam war the EXACT same way that sKerry does."
They can rot in hell with him, fonda, hoffman etc!
No. And you have no leverage over Kerry, especially since he wouldn't do it when you did have leverage.
This is a hopeless cause, Tonkin.
Now just a minute, I have it on good authority that he is "electable." This was one of the biggest reasons he was given the Democratic Party's nomination. (/sarcasm)
It could be interesting to through that "electable" determination back into the face of a lot of prominent Dem's who endorsed Kerry.
Yeah. It's a waste of time. Nobody's going to "remove" Kerry from the Senate, except the voters of Massachusetts.
Which is to say, he's not going to be removed.
Jim Emerson: On celebrities, Politics, and movie critics (shilling for Roger Ebert)
SOMEONE out there will listen, you just have to keep at it until you find them.
To just let it go because he didn't win is horse sh*t......he's still a senator.

"He wants to [get hitched]," she told PEOPLE Thursday night at London's Nobu, where she showed up for a late-night snack with Madden and her parents. "We talk about it."
In fact, she's already pondering her gown: "I'd wear a beautiful white dress," she said dreamily, "probably Dolce & Gabbana."
The heiress, who is in town promoting her new fragrance, Can Can, couldn't stop gushing about her new beau.
"We are the perfect match," said the 27-year-old (who begins filming her MTV reality show, I Wanna Be Paris's New Best Friend! on Monday). "We don't like being apart, we like to stay with each other as much as we can."
No stranger to marriage proposals, Hilton said that Madden, 29, was different from her previous boyfriends, including ex-fiancés Jason Shaw and Paris Latsis.
"[Benji] is very down to earth," she said. "He's worked very hard on his own. He really has a heart of gold. He'd never do anything to hurt me. He loves and supports me no matter what. He's a really great person."

As far back as 1985, Chrysler Corp. began laying the groundwork for its series of 1993 LH cars.With the arrival of the 1993 production run, the LH sedans -- the Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler Concorde and Eagle Vision -- have displayed a design concept that is sure to be copied by other automakers.The styling theme is called "cab forward," and fundamentally consists of moving the windshield forward, the rear wheels backward, and all four wheels farther apart. This not only increases interior room, but it also gives designers and engineers an opportunity to work their individual brands of technical magic in developing a very advanced motorcar.The LH sedans are very sleek. They provide exterior and interior aerodynamic forms that redefine the way a vehicle is supposed to be built.The Dodge Intrepid ES four-door that Gary Huffman, president and general manager of Palmer Dodge, provided for a test car was a prime representative of the LHs.Because it is upscale from a standard Intrepid, the car presented an overview of what better-class motoring is going to be like for the next several years.Price can top $20,000You can't say that Chrysler has reinvented the wheel with this vehicle, but it has come pretty close to reinventing the automobile. It is, however, not without a price. An ES with some desirable optional equipment on it can cost more than $20,000.In return, a driver has an automobile that is a trendsetter in technology and performance.I really don't know where Chrysler started in designing the Intrepid, but probably from the ground up. The longer wheelbase achieved by moving the rear wheels backward improved the ride, and increasing the stance of the car by moving the wheels farther apart had a definite influence on improving handling.Has Cadillac-like dimensionsThe 113-inch wheelbase is within seven-tenths of an inch of the wheelbase on the Cadillac Sedan DeVille, and the front/rear track width of 62 inches is 1.9 inches wider than that of the Caddy.Getting those wheels spread out with that long wheelbase lets the ES go through flat, high-speed turns almost as if it was on the banks of Daytona. Stability also is enhanced by four-wheel independent suspension that features a new rear multilink suspension system.The Intrepid is not aimed at the race-car market, so the suspension is supple to where it easily soaked up ripples in the pavement for an easy ride. Yet, in sharp turns there was a minimum of body roll.A first encounter with the Intrepid doesn't create any stranger-in-the-night situation for drivers of either domestic or imported automobiles. It has an international flavor, with the array of controls basically in the same place as on virtually all cars.The shift quadrant was on the center console; the speedometer, tachometer, engine gauges right in front; power window controls, locks, etc., on the left arm rest. What was different was how wide the seating and shoulder room was thanks t o the wider track and overall cabin width.The speedometer and tachometer gauges were especially user friendly, being on a silver-white background with a red indicator arrow. The numbers jumped right out at you, and at night they lit up in a moderate green color for instant reading.You can drive the car fast or slow and not have to be fumbling with your eyes to know what is going on.On the other end of the convenience spectrum, however, is a little design glitch dealing with lack of lights. There are no lights under the shift indicator letters on the center shift quadrant for night driving, and things would go better if there were.The test ES had Chrysler's 3.3- liter push-rod V-6. Unlike today's common practice of mounting the engine transverse in the chassis for use with front-wheel drive, the 3.3 is mounted in-line.The engine provided a lively if not a barn-burner performance. Drag-race devotees probably will be happier with a new, optional, 24-valve 3.5-liter V-6 that operates its four valves per cylinder via a single overhead cam (per bank) and rocker arms.The 3.5-liter 24-valve engine is good for 214 horsepower vs. 153 horses for the 3.3. But this push-rod V-6 is a proven standard power plant that is smooth and reasonably quiet. It showed good torque characteristics for quick passing.The ES had optional 16-inch aluminum wheels shod with wide- tread rubber whose tractive features make themselves felt on dry pavement for such quick maneuvers. Steering response was instant and reasonably light when the car was in motion.As is the case with most 16-inch radial tires, they get such a bite on the road surface that steering effort rises when turning the wheel to park or making other very slow-moving maneuvers. This tractive effort, however, will pay off during hazardous winter driving conditions.The increase in wheelbase permitted incorporating larger doors in this all-season, family-oriented sedan, making entrance and exit easier. The added rear-seat room was most noticeable; it is the equivalent of some of the largest standard-sized cars on the market.And once inside, the vast expanse of glass provided visibility almost the equivalent of an open car.It was just a few years ago that Chrysler was chided in some quarters as being too conservative in its approach to vehicle design. The LHs like the Dodge Intrepid will silence those critics. The ES is a model that is pointed right to the future.
