2012 Hall of Fame Class Complete
With Phil Mickelson elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in November and Hollis Stacy selected through the Veterans Category, the final three inductees of the 2012 Class were identified Thursday. That trio includes Sandy Lyle, Peter Alliss and Dan Jenkins.
Lyle was selected through the International Ballot, while Alliss and Dan Jenkins made it through the Lifetime Achievement Category. All five will be inducted on May 7, 2012, at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Fla.; the annual ceremony is held on Monday of Players Championship week.
Lyle, who's still an active player on the Champions Tour, is the first British player to win the Masters. Before earning a green jacket in 1988, the Scottish-born player, now 53, won the 1985 British Open. He also won 29 tournaments, including six on the PGA Tour.
At Thursday's announcement, Lyle said: "Yes, I was obviously very, very excited. Jack (Peters, chief operating officer of the Hall of Fame) showed me a whole folder here of dos and don'ts, so I've got a bit of midnight reading for the next few days, so I'd better make sure I behave myself. If you need any silverware cleaning, I do live up the road only 20 miles away, so I can make myself useful for there.
"I've never been there to the Hall of Fame myself, but I've looked on the internet and seen the whole list of names from way back in the 1930s or something. To be part of that list of names of players and achievements, as (Jose Maria Olazabal) said, it's quite a humble thing to be involved. I'm still waiting for some grandchildren, but I'm sure I'll let them know when the time comes.
"But I'm very honored and very pleased and flattered, and thank you for the votes that have been around, and I'm sure I'll try and do my best to keep the Hall of Fame going for many years to come."
Alliss, 80, began playing professionally at the age of 16. He won 23 tournaments during his career between 1947 and 1975, including three British PGA Championships. After his playing days, Alliss became one of golf's best-known commentators, working for the BBC, ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Alliss also got involved in golf course design. With partner Dave Thomas, he helped craft 50 courses, including The Belfry, which hosted four Ryder Cup matches. He later joined architect Clive Clark for create another 22 courses.
At Thursday's press conference in Europe, Alliss remarked: "Well, surprise would be more to the point. I've got to choose my words very carefully because to some I could appear to be naïve or flippant or arrogant, even more arrogant than usual. All these awards have come to me relatively late in life, although I did a few decent things when I was in my 30s and 40s to get awarded this or awarded that, but I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever be, for example, a member of the R&A, honorary member of the R&A, honorary member of so many wonderful golf clubs in the British Isles and in the United States. I certainly never thought I would be elected to the Hall of Fame.
"I mean, all I've ever done is waffle on about the game of golf, and I was fortunate enough to have a father who was one of the best professionals of his time, and I followed in his footsteps. There was never any thought about doing anything else, not that I was dim at school. In fact, I was quite bright at school. But coming back from the Boys' Championship in 1946, having been beaten in the semifinal, I was playing a lad called Donald Duneston, who was on reflection looked a little bit like a young Wayne Rooney. He was not a pretty boy at all. On the other hand, I was six foot tall and beautiful, and he was just going to be swept aside, cannon fodder. And I opened up at Brunsfield and I had a three at the first and 1-up and won the second, as well. But he beat me 3 and 2, so that brought us down with a bang.
"And going back on the train, my father, who'd been in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in the first World War, so he spent three and a half years with the Scots, and he was a Yorkshireman - you know a Yorkshireman is a Scotsman with all the charity sucked out of him. He leant across the carriage and said I don't think there's any need for you or purpose in further education. They didn't have an expression like 'further education' then, but if you were bright enough, you went on somewhere. But he said, you can become my unpaid assistant, which I thought was very generous of him, and he said also, you can continue to live at home, and we won't charge you too much rent.
"So that's how it began for me, in a very modest, modest way with a famous father, and many times I was asked, has this been an imposition having a famous father. And I suppose at times if you were in that sort of mood, yes. But then I thought of all the doors that somehow, if they weren't opened they certainly became ajar, and I went through, and life has just opened up in so many ways.
"I've had six or seven glorious bites of the cherry, and I've enjoyed every one of them, one not more than 'tother, and it's been a wonderful journey, and I've come to the end of my time, I think, to be awarded, moved into the Hall of Fame. I mean, they must have been drunk when they were selecting. But I shall wear the badge of honor with great pride, and I hope I do them justice, as I've always tried to do with the game of golf. It's a funny old fuddy duddy game, but I love it, and I quite understand if people don't, but it's something very, very special, and I'm very honored to be a part of it, Jack, and I look forward to bringing my wife and seven children with me. A Ritz Carlton is quite good enough, and we'll only be there for a week or 10 days.
"Thank you very much indeed."
Dan Jenkins is simply one of golf's most famous authors. The Fort Worth native, who turned 82 on December 2, began writing for the Fort Worth Press and worked at other newspapers before joining Sports Illustrated in 1963. He still writes regular columns for Golf Digest and is usually in attendance at all the major championships (he's been to over 200 during his lengthy, now Hall of Fame career).
Jenkins' fame really took off through his novels after he retired from Sports Illustrated in 1985. Among his golf titles are "Deal Solid Perfect," "Fairways and Greens," and "Jenkins at the Majors." He's won numerous writing awards, including nine first-place awards from the Golf Writers Association of America between 1957 and 2011.
Known for his droll sense of humor, Jenkins has experienced it all as a golf scribe over his 60-year career, posting stories using Western Union, faxing, over the Internet and now, through Twitter.
On Wednesday during the announcement of Jenkins' selection to the World Golf Hall of Fame, he, along with Peters and PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem - via conference call, were on hand. Here's a transcript of the announcement and a subsequent Q&A from the media.
As noted below, Jenkins still doesn't miss a beat whenever there's a chance for a guffaw.
JACK PETER: I'd like to welcome everyone who has called in to this announcement regarding the class of 2012. It is an exciting time for us. As you know, we previously announced that Phil Mickelson has been elected on the PGA Tour ballot, and at the LPGA's Hollis Stacy was elected through the veterans category. We're here today to welcome one of the great legends of the game. At this time I'd like to welcome PGA Tour Commissioner, Tim Finchem, who is joining us on the call from Ponte Vedra Beach to make the announcement. Tim?
TIM FINCHEM: Thank you, Jack. I was excited to have the opportunity to announce Phil Mickelson when we were in Singapore a few weeks ago and talk a little bit about his great career. I know that the recipient from the international ballot will be announced tomorrow in London by George O'Grady along with another announcement. Today I'm very pleased to do something really fun, which is to recognize a unique individual for the lifetime achievement category, an individual who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this May and rightfully so. That is Dan Jenkins. A legendary, how shall I put this writer, humorist, commentator, critic from time to time, a great part of what sports in the United States is all about and has been all about for many, many, many years.
Dan started writing professionally, really, right out of high school. He wrote down in Fort Worth while he attended college there at TCU and played some golf at TCU where he was captain of the golf team for three years. After he graduated from TCU in '53, he continued to write for Fort Worth Press. Again, he covered Ben Hogan, and he served as sports editor for several years and was hired later on at the Dallas Times Herald. After a couple of years there, he was hired by "Sports Illustrated" in 1963. He wrote for SI for more than 20 years, and during that time generated over 500 articles before he retired in 1985. He didn't retire. He retired from that job.
He became a golf columnist for Golf Digest in 1985 as well. During his career - and I think if you're a sports fan, you've been touched one way or the other by Dan Jenkins - he's written a number of books, three novels that have been made into motion pictures "Semi Tough." It was a No. 1 bestseller, "Dead (Solid) Perfect" and "Baja Oklahoma."
He covered more than 200 major championships in golf, including over 60 Masters. He's won numerous writing awards, including nine first-place awards from the Golf Writers Association of America between 1957 and 2011. He's also received numerous honors including being honored at the Memorial Tournament with the Memorial Golf Journalism Award in 1994. He's also a recipient of the Lincoln Werden Golf Journalism Award for the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association. In 1995 he was a recipient of the PGA of America's Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism. In 2005, the Golf Writers Association of America bestowed upon him the William Richardson Award for outstanding contributions to golf.
He's also, prior to this induction, he's been inducted into several halls of fame: The Texas golf Hall of Fame, TCU Hall of Fame, and the National Sportscasters and Sports Writers Hall of Fame. Along the way, he even found time to serve as the National Football Foundation's official historian. Dan has had a spectacular career, and I think I should note that over the years the World Golf Hall of Fame has been very sparse in their recognition of people from Dan's craft, only recognizing the very, very best. I think it's appropriate, and I know I speak on behalf of the entire membership of the board of the Royal Golf Foundation that Dan take his place on that list. With that, Dan, I'll just say to you that this is an exciting moment for golf. We look forward to your induction in May, and being able to appropriately thank you for decades and decades of what you've meant to sports fans and particularly golf fans in the United States. I know the people online would love to hear your reaction to this announcement. So I'll turn it over to you. Dan Jenkins.
DAN JENKINS: Tim, thank you very much. When you rattled off that list of credits, you left out my cure for polio, but I'll excuse you for that. You got all those other things in there. I'm delighted and flattered and overwhelmed to take a spot in there with my old friends, Herbert Warren Wind and Herb Graffis and people like that who actually covered the sport. I wish I had known Bernard Darwin, but I came along too late for him.
As I told somebody, being from Fort Worth, I would follow Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson anywhere. Since they're in there, I'm happy to be the third guy from Fort Worth so included. What can I say? It sounds like I retired, but I haven't. I'm going to stay at it as long as they'll have me or until I'm carried out. I'll be carried out with the typewriter. But thank you, Tim. That's awfully nice of you. I thank the committee, and I'm delighted to be in such good company with the people who are already in there, especially the players.
JACK PETER: Let me say on behalf of the Hall of Fame and all of the members of the Hall of Fame, our volunteers and staff, I would like to offer my congratulations and welcome you also to the family of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Q. It's kind of a tradition at the Hall of Fame for players when they get inducted to get some memorabilia from their career in their locker. So if that being the case, what would you submit?
DAN JENKINS: Well, I've got a bunch of books I've written which you're welcome to. Since nobody bought them, I have a few left over. I'd be happy to share those with you and a few other items. Some golf clubs and maybe an old typewriter, if you want to see what a manual typewriter used to look like. Various other memorabilia, lot of gate passes and money clips and stuff like that. But writers don't collect a whole lot when they're out there busy doing the business. They're usually writing about the people who have all the hardware. So if you don't write books, you don't make copies out of the stories you wrote, you usually try to forget them. But I've got a few things that I'll be happy to share with you.
Q. Any Western Union clips?
DAN JENKINS: Right, yeah. I do go back that far, actually. I missed Postal Telegraph, but I was around for Western Union. hey used to garble your stories pretty bad. Somebody told me one time they only improved them, really. That may or may not be true. But I do go back that far. I went through the age of faxing, and now I'm in the computer age, and now I'm in the tweeting age. So I've covered a broad spectrum of ways to transmit thoughts and people want to hear or are outraged to hear at some times. Even though I was making a stab at humor, I don't think I ever wrote a line I didn't believe. I tried not to draw too much blood. I tried to rave about all the heroes of the game, and they deserved it, and they earned it. But I have been to over 200 majors. I think the actual count now is like 30. I'm going to keep on doing it. I don't know who is in second place, but they're way back there on the track.
Q. I want to ask you one other thing. I hope it's not too taxing. But given your 60 years of covering golf, could you say what was the best round of golf you ever saw?
DAN JENKINS: The best time in golf?
Q. The best single round of golf you ever saw, the best tournament you ever saw, and the best story you ever wrote?
DAN JENKINS: The most talked-about and the most electrifying at its time was Arnold Palmer at Cherry Hills in the U.S. Open of 1960, when I think I was the first guy that noticed that there was a confluence of three eras of golf that all came together that afternoon. It was the current king, Arnold Palmer, the past King Ben Hogan, and the future King, Jack Nicklaus who was yet an amateur. The three of them battled it out in the last 18. I'd never experienced even as a good old, cynical writer, as much excitement as all of us felt that afternoon following that action. Arnold Palmer winning it with a 6 under, 65 in the last round, which passed 14 players and came from seven strokes back, it was unbelievable.
There have been so many great moments in golf that you even forget some of them. But that one still stands out. When people say, "What was the greatest day?" I had a lot of great days with Ben Hogan. My first Open that I covered was the '51 Open at Oakland Hills, and Ben shot that 67 in the last round, which was about as good a round of golf on the most difficult golf course in the world. Oakland Hills set up for that Open more like a penitentiary than a golf course. The joke was you had to walk sideways down the fairways to keep the rough from snagging your trousers.
But Trent Jones put so many bunkers in the middle of the fairways and the greens were so fast. There was a moment when Ben went up to Robert Trent Jones' wife and said if your husband didn't play this golf course for a living, you'd be standing in a bread line. He wasn't kidding. It was tough. Those two days are right in there. And I think Jack Nicklaus winning his sixth Masters in 1986. It's awful hard to avoid that. But there have been so many great tournaments that I've been privileged to see and people paid me to go watch, that I'm awfully grateful for it, and I'm so happy that I chose the profession I did.
Q. I'm wondering, what is the major streak up to now? I've lost track. I think you hit two bills a while ago. Do you know what the number is exactly in a row?
DAN JENKINS: Yeah, somebody made it national in Golf Digest the other day and said it was 211 now. But that counts for one in 1941 at Colonial when I was just 13 years old. But the ones I've covered is 210 by now, and I'm not stopping. I told somebody, I said nobody's ever going to top this because first of all there are not going to be anymore newspapers. I think it's a record that will hold up for a long time.
Q. Do you know who is going to give your introductory speech?
DAN JENKINS: Not yet. But I'm thinking about it. It will be a total unknown. Jack Blake, I'm going to call him. But I hope it's going to be Jerry Tarde, my boss at Golf Digest. I'm going to beg him.
Q. Where did you get your sense of humor?
DAN JENKINS: Well, when you grow up in Texas and you don't like sports, they drown you, that's number one. If you've ever gambled at golf, which all of us did as kids and college and all of that, your sense of humor has to go with it because you get beat so often. It just came natural. I understand golf is a religion to a lot of people. Never really a religion to me, but a great sports event. Any great sports event required a sense of humor. It just came natural. I don't try to be funny, but sometimes I think that way.
I've always told young people who asked me about sports writing and golf writing and stuff, when something great happens, like when an Arnold Palmer or Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods or Ben Hogan happens, you don't have to be funny, you just have to be accurate. When you have to be funny is when you're on deadline, and somebody like Jack creeps up on you. That's when you have to tap dance because it doesn't make any sense. We have more and more of that these days, don't we?
Q. From a generation of guys who either one of the reasons a lot of us got into sports writing, and you were one of the three or four guys that kind of steered me in that direction. I wanted to ask you, you talk a lot about how there was a kinder, gentler day on the PGA Tour when the players hung out with each other and the players and media even hung out with each other, restaurants, locker room, the bar. There was more personal contact. I'm just wondering was there a figure in golf, maybe not necessarily a player, but there was a figure in golf who you most enjoyed sitting down and eating breakfast with and having a drink with at the Augusta National clubhouse or the lodge at Pebble Beach? Who did you enjoy keeping company with?
DAN JENKINS: You could not help but enjoy any of the moments or times you spent around Jimmy Demaret or Sam Sneed or Lee Trevino or even Dave Moeller, who had a sense of humor and shared it with you. All of those guys were a sports writer's dream. It was a time that they needed us in print as much as we needed them. Those days are gone because of the modern age, and electricity, which I still don't understand. We're not as necessary anymore as we used to be. But that's okay. As long as they have television and internet it's going to keep on going and changing, and we change with it. So it's still out there, and golf tournaments are still an awful lot of fun. You know, there is no one person that can make or break a golf tournament. The spectacle of the tournament itself is always the real seller, and I found out the hard way one time.
Years ago at Colonial in 1954, Ben Hogan was coming off his Triple Crown in '53. He was the co leader after 36 holes at Colonial. And he had to withdraw because of a shoulder injury. So everybody on the tournament committee was moaning and groaning and practically in tears because on Saturday and Sunday they said there weren't going to be any people there. Well, they only broke the tournament record for spectators, even though Ben wasn't there. That's when it dawned on me that the spectacle of the tournament itself is always going to be the biggest part of the game, and that's good. That's what keeps it going.
JACK PETER: This is Jack Peter again. You've told some great stories tonight, and believe me, we at the Hall of Fame are very excited to tell yours this May at the induction ceremony. So I'd like to thank everybody for their attendance today.
DAN JENKINS: Thank you very much. And thank you, again, Tim, and thanks to all of those people that called in with having nothing better to do. I can't wait until May 7th when you put some (indiscernible) on my shoulder and give me a saber.
TIM FINCHEM: Thank you, Dan. We look forward to seeing you here in Florida in a few months.

Back in July 2007, Britney Spears drove to the Southern California set of Zoey 101, her sister Jamie Lynn's show, to deliver a note to their mom: Stay away from me and my children.
Lynne Spears briefly relived that painful moment Friday in her first appearance on the witness stand in a libel trial in which Britney's self-described former manager Sam Lutfi is suing Lynne for defaming him in her 2008 book Through the Storm.
Lynne described a complicated relationship with Lutfi spanning less than a year. The pair spoke "hundreds" of times, Lynne said, and it was Lutfi who brought mother and daughter together in a tearful reunion at Britney's Malibu home three months after that note was delivered.
As Lynne calmly testified about the reconciliation, Lutfi, sitting in the courtroom audience, sobbed and wiped tears away.
But things became increasingly tense, culminating on Jan. 28, 2008 at the singer's Beverly Hills home, just days before her second forced hospitalization.
That night, Lutfi allegedly told Lynne that he "grinds up Britney's pills ... [and] puts them in her food," as well as cut her phone lines and disabled her cars, Lynne wrote in her book in statements that are at the heart of the trial.
Lynne said on the stand, "These were his exact words and this was the story I told."
"I was very worried and I didn't know what to do, so I was trying to get her away from there," added Lynne, who acknowledged she didn't call police for help at the time.
Asked why she described Lutfi as a predator in her book, she replied calmly, "He wanted to take over her life. He wanted her life to be his life. And [the way he dealt with the] paparazzi, that made him a predator, because they were all over her, in her house. She had no privacy."

MONROE TWP. -- A local dog kennel known for breeding Great Danes could be shut down this week after state and county health inspectors found it to be in "deplorable" conditions.
The township board of health has scheduled a hearing for tonight to consider revoking the kennel license for Denise Rhodes, owner of Rhodes-End Kennel on Whitehall Road.
Rhodes is also scheduled to be in municipal court on April 18 for answer to allegations she violated about 40 animal cruelty statutes, according to the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Nancy Marino, board of health secretary, said 20 dogs -- Great Danes and German Shepherds -- are housed in rundown sheds and sleeping in their own feces at the Rhodes-End Kennel.
The kennel has been given numerous chances since July 2006 to comply with state and local codes, but conditions have only worsened, Marino said.
"It was just a really bad situation -- dog droppings all over the place, a lot of dogs confined to one kennel," Marino said. "Every violation that could have been had, they were in violation of."

"This is more like the old days, the kind of money we used to raise," said Betty Walker, Executive Director of Levy Association for Retarded Citizens (LARC).
She was talking about the check for $10,400 that officers from Bronson AMVETS Post 88 had just presented her, the proceeds from last month's 33rd Annual Wild Hog Canoe and Kayak Race. With some 50 sponsors and 60 boats in this year's race, AMVETS' contribution vastly exceeded the take from any Wild Hog race in years.
To the editor:
I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank the teachers at the Williston Elementary School for their success in preparing our children for the FCAT writing test this year.
Being a parent of a fourth grader, I understand the work effort required to prepare children to receive a passing score on this test.
Not only did the WES students pass this test, but a large percentage achieved at least a 4 out of 6, which is a high standard set for the students to strive to meet.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
• Rupert Rowe Jr., 59, of Williston was charged with sexual offender requirement to change driver's license and address. He was released on his own recognizance.
• Danny O. Wells, 53, of Archer was charged with two counts aggravated assault. Bond was $10,000.
• Paul Odom, 28, of Williston was charged with domestic battery and tampering with a victim. Bond was $5,000.
An Alabama man wanted in connection with a bank robbery was apprehended in Yankeetown last week, but not before he injured an Inglis police officer.
Tim Swiggett was treated for minor injuries after he was allegedly cut by Chad Floyd Jeter, 29, of Atmore, Ala.
According to the sheriff's report, Swiggett was conducting an investigation on an older model Blue GMC pickup with no tag that was backed into the woods on CR 40W.
The Williston Police Department reports the following arrests:
•Devin D. Loftton, 24, of Ocala was arrested May 22 and charged with possession of marijuana, less than 20 grams.
The arrest came following a traffic stop for an unlawful turn.
According to the police report, the alleged marijuana weighed 7.4 grams and was valued at $30.
• Elray Brennon Battles, Jr., 27, of Williston was charged May 24 with driving while license suspended or revoked with knowledge.

Australian Megafauna A-Z: D is for Diprotodon
This instalment in my A-Z of Australian megafauna series has been long overdue (the last one was written way back in October 2013) so, without further ado, we'll get straight into talking about it! This time, it's one of the most, if not the iconic Australian megafauna taxon, Diprotodon. Read on, for a brief introduction to the quintessential extinct Aussie.
The name Diprotodon means "two front teeth" and refers to the enlarged, constantly growing first incisors of the animal. It was the very first fossil mammal to be described from Australia and it was named by none other than the man who coined the name dinosaur, Richard Owen, in 1838.
It still remains uncertain exactly how many species of Diprotodon there were, estimates vary between one to eight depending on who you talk to.
Edit: This is what happens when you use older texts as references and don't check for more up to date research! Shortly after publishing this post I got a comment from Dr. Gilbert Price, one of the foremost experts on Diprotodon in the world, who let me know the current situation concerning the taxonomy of Diprotodon. The comment can be seen at the bottom but I've also decided to add it here. Thanks for the info Dr. G!
"[T]he jury is no longer out on the number of species known- only one is today formally recognised, D. optatum (please note that the Wikipedia article on Diprotodon needs a major overhaul!). The other eight species (or even up to 20 according to some writers!) are simply synonymous with the big guy. The problem with Diprotodon taxonomy really came about in the early days of palaeontology in Australia.
Sir Richard Owen described the first specimen in 1838, attributing the name D. optatum. He later changed the name in the 1840's to D. australis (and even referred the original 1838 specimen to 'australis'), seemingly forgetting that 'optatum' was already out there and published.
A similar issue is also found with D. annextans and D. longiceps, by McCoy (former director and curator of the National Museum of Victoria) in the 1860's- both names are based off the same specimen.
Taxonomic problems were further compounded with the description of other Diprotodon species in newspapers in the 1870's (newspapers can actually constitute a published work in eyes of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature, providing that the description meets a few other criteria too). Gerrard Krefft (Australian Museum in Sydney) named both D. loderi and D. bennettii in 'The Sydney Mail' newspaper. Not being aware of Krefft's work, Owen, who was based in England and probably not an avid reader of the Sydney Mail (!) later described another new species and named it D. bennettii. Obviously, he was not aware that Krefft had already given the name to another bunch of Diprotodon fossils.
Confusing things even more, Diprotodon comes in two different sizes, sometimes referred to as the 'large form' and 'small form', the later including the species D. minor, described by Huxley in the 1860's.
There was a real tendency for the early researchers to slap a new name on just about every specimen that came out of the ground. At a time before it was easy to travel around to different museums to look at fossils, and the internet to discover the plethora of published research, I guess it's quite understandable how the Diprotodon taxonomic issues came about.
I had the pleasure of looking into this problem a few years back. During the course of pulling my hair out, I was able to unravel the longstanding taxonomic problems and came up with the interpretation that there was only one recognisable morphospecies, D. optatum. In addition to the all the nomenclatural problems, and two size classes (which I interpret to represent sexual dimorphism), D. optatum is also morphologically variable in some taxonomically useful characters.
Later, working with a local farmer on the Darling Downs in Queensland, we came across another Diprotodon individual, with left and right sides of the palate preserved. If you looked at both sides separately, you'd think that two species were represented- D. minor and D. optatum! So, there can be a huge range of variation, even within the same individual!
More details about all of this can be found here-

And of course: http://www.diprotodon.com
Now, as for the extinction question… don't get me started!"
Diprotodon is so ubiquitous because of its large size. It is the largest marsupial to have ever lived, with the largest specimens reaching over three metres long and standing two metres tall at the shoulder and has been nicknamed the marsupial rhino because of its similarity in shape and size to the perhaps more familiar placental mammal. It lived throughout the Pleistocene and went extinct around 30,000 years ago, meaning that they would have co-existed with Australia's earliest inhabitants. Indeed, some aboriginal rock paintings are purported to depict these extinct animals. Several theories have been put forward as to the cause of their demise including human hunting or habitat alteration (through burning off of vegetation) and climate change. It is more likely to have been a combination of several factors that caused these animals to go extinct rather than any one single reason.
In addition to skeletal material, trackways made by Diprotodon were found at Lake Callabonna in South Australia, giving a glimpse into the behaviour of this animal. There have been several cases of groups of Diprotodon being found together, having perished in drought conditions. The skeletons found at Lake Callabonna suggest that the animals became trapped in the mud and never escaped.
These animals were herbivorous and its teeth were well suited for grinding down plant material. The biomechanics of how these creatures did this is the subject of the PhD thesis of a colleague of mine, Alana Sharp. So when Alana publishes her research you can expect to read about it here!
Hopefully there won't be as quite a large gap between this post and the next one in this series, but with a PhD to do, who knows. Next up is the letter E, whoever guesses the next animal to be discussed wins 10 science points! Get guessing!

Fighting Fat While Sparing Precious Muscle
When it comes to getting in shape' do you ever find yourself in a "catch 22"? Coined in the early 1960s' this expression refers to a no-win situation – one where solving one part of a problem only creates another. Picture this as an example: You clean out the junk in your diet' you begin hitting the gym' and you lose 15 pounds. Great! Mission accomplished' right? Maybe not. In your effort to lose unwanted weight' you've also lost a precious commodity – muscle. Your waistline may be smaller' but your body is soft' lacking definition. You've solved one part of the problem (the number on your scale)' only to encounter another (loss of muscle tone). This is the reality for many – having to choose between fat loss and muscle growth. If only there was a way to achieve both…
Trust the Old Adage
As it turns out' an apple a day does more than keep the doctor away. A naturally occurring ingredient found in apple peels (ursolic acid) has actually been shown to support fat loss and muscle growth … and not just one or the other. People who are especially concerned about sparing – and ultimately building – muscle can be confident knowing that Labrada's new Ursolic Acid Lean Muscle Optimizer has their goals for a lean' defined body in mind. That's because ursolic acid has been shown to affect molecular pathways that could actually prevent muscle loss and weakness. In studies involving both humans and mice' ursolic acid was proven to help counteract the catabolic effects of fasting/dieting. Meanwhile' in studies with just mice' this natural ingredient was found to protect against muscle atrophy (or decrease in muscle mass). In fact' when ursolic acid was added to the food of normal' non-fasted mice' their muscles grew.
While ursolic acid as a dietary supplement has only recently come into the spotlight' early findings are extremely promising and human clinical trials continue. Because medicinal plants containing ursolic acid have been used in folk medicine for centuries' you can be confident this ingredient has been proven natural' safe' and effective.
Fat Loss Anyone?
In the previously mentioned study where mice experienced muscle growth when given ursolic acid' it was also found that the mice became leaner and had lower blood levels of glucose' cholesterol' and triglycerides. This' again' is that coveted combination that many of us strive for – muscle growth and fat loss rolled into one. Supplementing with Labrada's Ursolic Acid could make all the difference. As further shown in studies' mice that were fed ursolic acid and a high-fat diet had significantly decreased body weights' abdominal (visceral) adiposity' and levels of blood glucose and plasma lipids compared to mice on the same diet but without the ursolic acid supplement. Diet and activity levels were the same for both groups; the only "edge" was the ursolic acid. The question then remains: What could Ursolic Acid do for you?
It All Comes Back to Better Health
Labrada's Ursolic Acid hasn't just been designed to help you look better. It even supports cardiovascular health' making it a beneficial supplement for dieters and athletes of all ages. Because Ursolic Acid can help reduce body fat and blood sugar levels' it provides nutritional support that may be beneficial for both obesity and diabetes. It also plays a role in bone and joint health.

What a nice addition
-- Thank you, South Alabama, for the beautiful new entrances on University and Old Shell Road. They're beautiful. Thank you. I enjoyed looking at it.
Sail the friendly seas
-- Those of us who work at the cruise line may be "dumped" out in the street in October, but we will continue to do our jobs with smiles on our faces at every sailing.
Now spend our money wisely
-- Taxpayers need to pay close attention now to how the school board spends our tax dollars. Just remember, we are watching you, and we expect you to spend our tax dollars wisely.
'Backward thinking'
-- I cannot believe that people are still saying schools don't need more money. They always blame things on the school board or superintendent. No wonder companies don't want to settle here. We have a segment of the population that is proud to exhibit backward thinking.
Plenty involved with schools
-- My interest in my kids' education has nothing to do with the fact they attend a free public school. Many of us parents are heavily involved and gladly volunteer our time to be part of their lives at school. Our great principal, wonderful teachers and parents make up an important team for our children's future. Some parents just choose not to be involved, and that's their mistake.
Voted against
-- I was calling about the taxes on the property owners in Mobile County that have been renewed. I voted against it because everybody and their brother get to vote for this tax but it's only on the property owners.
Back to the important stuff
-- I'm delighted that the tax renewal for schools has been approved. Now Saraland High School can get on with the business of hiring a new football coach. Priorities are priorities!
More should have voted
-- I think it's a disgrace that we didn't have more people coming out and voting for the school tax. They evidently can't read because the tax has been going on for years. This was just a renewal. You people who have children and grandchildren who sat on their lazy you-know-whats, what is the matter with you?
Quit arguing
-- Let's please quit arguing over who goes to private and public schools. As the old saying goes, you get out of something what you put into it. Also, we have two far more serious issues to worry about: bullying by teachers and students.
-- Shame, shame to the vandals that hit Africatown. I don't understand that at all.
The neighborhood has changed
-- I've lived on my street for 35 years, and they picked up a prostitute a few days ago two doors down from me. We know they are dealing drugs from this house, but nothing seems to be done. I can't get no help, and I'm afraid.
This ain't no hay ride
-- I totally agree with the caller who voiced their concern about Mobilians' dress at cultural events. As a season ticket holder of both the symphony and the opera, I am appalled at the appearance of Mobilians. They appear at events dressed as if they are attending an outdoor barbecue activity.

LORDSTOWN - A snag in talks about a land transfer that would be used for a $92 million aluminum billet manufacturing plant is focused largely on surface mineral rights, sources said Monday.
Talks in past months have slowed to a standstill, leaving officials with Ontario-based Matalco so frustrated they have begun to consider looking elsewhere.
Plans for construction of a remelt aluminum extrusion billet facility first came to light in October. The facility would be built along state Route 45 in the Ohio Commerce Center and would create 60 jobs with a $4 million payroll.
But despite numerous state and local incentives to help convince the company to locate here over other sites being considered in Michigan, Indiana and Pennsylvania, the project could be in jeopardy.
Monday, Robert Roscetti, Matalco's director of corporate development, said talks remain in a "holding pattern" with no closing scheduled for the sale. "We are very close to resolving the surface right issue; however, ... the issue is out of our hands and with the owner of the property and the energy company (lessee)," Roscetti said by email Monday.
Despite the stalled talks, Roscetti's outlook appears to have improved slightly from a month ago when he indicated that if an agreement could not be reached with the energy company that holds the surface rights, the company would "most likely look at an alternative site either in Ohio or another state."
Commercial Real Estate Agent and marketer for Ohio Commerce Center Dan Crouse of Routh Hurlbert Real Estate expressed optimism, though, that the issue had been resolved.
"We have come to a verbal agreement on the terms," Crouse said Monday. "I think we have worked through the terms of this thing and it appears to be on track."
Incentives offered to the company that already operates a plant in Canton, include approval for an Ohio Tax Credit Authority for an eight-year, 50-percent job creation tax credit valued at $450,000, a state economic development grant, work force services, on-the-job training assistance from Trumbull County One Stop and a 75-percent, 10-year property tax abatement from the village of Lordstown.
Matalco in August had announced plans for a U.S. expansion. The company produces extrusion grade aluminum billets primarily from scrap aluminum. Its two existing locations serve the U.S. Midwest and Northeast along with Canadian markets.

Mount Pleasant -- A group of 10 rallied Monday morning on Johnnie Dodds Boulevard to denounce Sen. Lindsey Graham for his support of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.
Staff members from Operation Rescue-Insurrecta Nex, an organization that wants to make abortion illegal, stood outside in the heat for the "Beating, Burning and Hanging Lindsey 'Benedict Arnold' Graham in Effigy" protest.
"Lindsey Graham claims he's a Christian, but he's a traitor," said Randall Terry, the group's director. The protesters said Graham is using babies as part of his political game.
Graham's office would not comment on the protests but said in a prepared statement that although he does not agree with Kagan's legal or judiciary philosophies, Graham does think she is qualified, has good character and understands the difference between being a judge and politician.
Group members, all from Washington, D.C., have been to several other states, including Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama since their drive began July 16. They have been protesting at Graham's headquarters across South Carolina. They went to Greenville and Columbia on Friday, and were heading to Rock Hill Monday afternoon.
Members urged senators to hold a filibuster on the Kagan issue, saying politicians have not been consistent with their stand against abortion.
Protester Ed Faddoul said Graham claims to be conservative but he is not. "The public needs to be aware of what their senator is doing."
The protesters hanged a dummy with a picture of Graham's face on it. In addition, they did a skit with Graham's picture attached to a pinata. "Notice how he's a donkey, because he's a closet Democrat," Terry said.
"Women are able to vote and black people have civil rights because people have gone to the extremes to make it happen," Terry said. "We mean to be extreme."

The Official 2010-11 Tuesdays With Stoosh Eastern Conference Preview…With Stoosh
Atlanta Thrashers
Hey, they've always got Ilya Kovalchu…no? Hmmm.
Well, Evander Kane is pretty badass. Right, Cookie?
And they've got Ondrejsakdkjdjlfaldsf Pavelecdasflfjdfsd in goal. He's not bad.
But what's the best thing about the Thrashers? Last year, they traded Ilya Kovachoo to "da Devil." In the package of players coming back, they received defenseman Johnny Oduya and forward Niklas Bergfors. Fox Sports Pittsburgh viewers everywhere would love to thank YOU, Atlanta front office. By virtue of this trade, we only have to hear about Steigy's man-crushes on Oduya and Bergfors four times a year instead of six. God bless you.
Boston Bruins
Tuukka Rask is solid. He's one of the best young goalies in the league, at least when he's not beating the hell out of the boards with his goalie stick.
Tyler Seguin is going to be awesome. Maybe not this year, but he's going to be awesome. Krejci is solid and Bergeron is decent when he's healthy. And sure, you got Nathan Horton…although what's it say when you get voted off the island that is the Florida Panthers?
But in the playoffs last year, your best players were Miro Satan & Mark Recchi. That's all well & good but unfortunately, this is 2010, not 1998.
And you won't admit it, but Zdeno Chara looked awfully slow at times last year. Like Hal Gill slow. But maybe that's what happens when you're forced to play 40 minutes a night in the playoffs.
Oh, and they've lost another center but I can't remember his name. It's a little foggy right now. I'm sure I'll remember it later. Maybe by next year.
Should've won Game Four, Five, Six or Seven when you had the chance.
Buffalo Sabres
Spiffy new duds. No more Raffi Torres eating nachos come playoff time. Ryan Miller and his wonky eyebrow. And this…
The Sabres scare the hell out of me this year. Don't know why. They just do.
Carolina Hurricanes
Did you know you that when you play as the Hurricanes on NHL '11, you can finally use the retro pea green Hartford Whalers jerseys? That fact alone is 100x more exciting than pretty much anything the Carolina Hurricanes bring to the ice this year, except maybe Eric Staal.
Florida Panthers
The good news is that the Panthers play in the Southeast Division, which is basically the NHL equivalent of Big East football. The bad news is that Florida is Syracuse.
The Panthers are the Pirates of the NHL, at least from the standpoint that it feels like a million years since they did anything memorable. And trapping teams all the way to the Stanley Cup Final wasn't exactly memorable for those of us who actually like skill. It's no wonder the 20 Panthers fans still around speak of those two years that they had Pavel Bure in hushed tones.
Drafting defenseman Eric Gudbranson third overall this past summer was probably smart, but I saw this movie eight years ago, Panthers, and it was called "Jay Bouwmeester". Ain't no one payin' money to see a stay-at-home defenseman. Do yourselves a favor. Finish last and take either Sean Couturier or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins next summer. Give your fans a reason to watch your team.
Montreal Canadiens
Laugh it up, dick.
New Jersey Devils
Kovalchuk. Now we get to see what all the fuss is about.
Fun fact: For all the blustering about how great the Devils are, they have not played beyond the second round of the playoffs since 2000-01, the year they beat the Pens in the Eastern Conference Finals and ended Jaromir Jagr's Penguins career. Yes, it's been that long.
That said, they also added Volchenkov on defense, so it'll be even harder to get those 12 shots a night on Brodeur. They're still probably the team that will present the biggest challenge to the Pens in the division, but they're starting to get old. Brodeur turned 38 in June) and they're backing him up with 37-year old Johan Hedberg. Yep. That Johan Hedberg. Thirty-seven years old. You feel old now, huh?
New York Islanders
Would've said they were ready to take the next step. But that was before Kyle Okposo went in for shoulder surgery a day after Matt Moulson guaranteed them a lottery pick by wiping out Mark Streit's shoulder in an intersquad scrimmage. Streit is expected to miss between four and six months; Okposo likely two or three months. Moulson has now earned the nickname "Friendly Fire." Now Mark Eaton is likely running their powerplay. Yeah.
New York Rangers
Derek Boogaard. Four-year contract. $1.625 million a year.
When the best move you made all off-season was to sign Martin Biron as your backup or waiving Wade Redden, well…
Ottawa Senators
Let's see what Elliott and Leclaire do when they realize that Phillips & Gonchar aren't quite the same thing as Phillips & Volchenkov.
Philadelphia Flyers
They have Pronger. If anyone on the Rangers could score a shootout goal or if Torts doesn't mysteriously keep some of his best shooters on his bench in Game 82, Philly never gets to play in the first round, let alone for the Cup.
They have Pronger. Peter Laviolette looks like one of Nucky Thompson's cronies. Dude can also coach hockey. They have Pronger.
It's worth noting that Simon Gagne is in Tampa and Arron Asham is in Pittsburgh. Those are two guys who came up huge for them in the playoffs last year. But they have Pronger.
They still have Richards, Briere, Giroux, Muppet Hartnell, Van Riemsdyk and Carter. And in case you forgot, Pierre Mcguire will remind you 75 times that they have Pronger.
It remains to be seen if their bottom four defensemen – Carle, Coburn, Meszaros and some other pylon – can pick up enough slack to keep Pronger & Timmonen from having to play 30 minutes a game.
Oh, and it keeping with true meathead tradition in Philly, they eschewed a goalie to sign Jody Shelley.
Flyers-Pens games should be ridiculous amounts of fun. Good luck with Leighton & Boucher.
Tampa Bay Lightning
Footsteps, Capitals. Footsteps.
Stamkos was every bit as good as advertised last year, and perhaps even moreso. With him, Lecavalier, St. Louis, Ryan Malone and now Simon Gagne, Tampa has top six forwards that can rival those of the Caps, at least in terms of overall depth.
If they can get anything at all from their blueline – fairly underrated with guys like Ohlund, Hedman and Kubina – and their goaltending, they COULD give the Caps a run for the Big East title…er, I mean Southeastern Division.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Can we check to make sure Toronto is still there? Or did it get sucked into the giant black hole that was apparently created by Nazem Kadri not making the team? Holy hell.
Speaking of people not making the Leafs, neither did Luca Caputi. Somewhere Ray Shero is nodding his head.
Washington Capitals
Washington did nothing all summer. Not one major move, despite being eliminated from the playoffs again because their greatest weaknesses were exploited – goaltending and a defense that doesn't seem interested in playing much defense.
The talk is that Fat Teddy and GM George McPhee loved what this group accomplished in the regular season, and that they believe what happened in the playoffs was an aberration created largely by a goaltender playing out of his mind. They may be right. But if they're wrong? We'll take you to the offices of Boudreau and McPhee come season's end, especially if they wash out in ugly fashion in the postseason again.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Crosby and Co. have had an entire summer to stew over the way things ended last year.
You could see it in the way they played during the preseason.
How does Crosby top a 51-goal season? How about with a second Stanley Cup.
New arena.
Steigy and Errey on TV, with Lange and Bourque on the radio. Potash interviews between periods.

It's the best time of the year.
Enjoy the games, folks.
It's hockey season.

It ain't over 'til it's over.
Just ask the Washington Nationals. Leading 7-5 with two outs in the ninth Friday night, the Nats could not close the door on the defending world champion St. Louis Cardinals. Instead, the never-say-die Redbirds scored four runs, battling back from their last strike on two different occasions for a 9-7 road win in Game 5 of the National League Division Series.
The win marked the Cardinals' sixth consecutive post-season elimination game victory, beginning with Game 4 of the 2011 NLDS series with the Philadelphia Phillies. Fans of rodents on the diamond will recall how a gray squirrel ran into the batter's box at Busch Stadium in St. Louis as Cardinal hitter Skip Schumaker awaited a pitch from Phillies' pitcher Roy Oswalt. The Cardinals have not lost an elimination game since then.
The Nats roughed up St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright early, tagging him for six runs in less than three innings. The Nats led 6-0 in the fourth when the Cardinals managed to push across a single run before adding a pair in the fifth and additional single runs in the sixth and eighth innings. Washington scored what is commonly referred to as an "insurance run" in their half of the eighth, but it wasn't enough insurance. The Cardinals' four-run ninth capped what WTBS announcers said was the biggest do-or-die game comeback in Major League Baseball history.
The Cardinals now move on to face the Western Division champions San Francisco Giants in the National League Championship Series, which begins Sunday in San Francisco. The Giants are riding a comeback of their own after being down two games to none against the Cincinnati Reds in their NLDS, only to win the final three games on the road.
The Giants-Cardinals matchup marks the first time that the two most recent World Series champions will meet in a League Championship Series to see who advances to the Fall Classic. The Giants beat the Texas Rangers four games to one in the 2010 World Series, and the Cardinals beat the Rangers four games to three last year.
Four teams remain in the chase for the 2012 World Series: The Cardinals and Giants in the NL and the Yankees and Tigers in the American League.
Because of the National League's victory in the 2012 All-Star Game, the NL will have home field advantage in the World Series. If the Cardinals make it past the Giants, they would, ironically, owe home-field advantage to the managing prowess of Tony La Russa, who retired after leading the Cards to a championship this year but came out of retirement to manage the NL All-Stars to an 8-0 victory over the AL squad.
As in 2011, the Cardinals were the Wild Card team. And as in 2011, when they won 11 post-season games to secure their 11th World Series championship, 2012 presents the Cardinals with another unique numerical opportunity. This season, there were two Wild Card teams in each league, meaning the Cardinals will have to win 12 post-season games in 2012 to claim the franchise's 12th championship. Just as the rallying cry in 2011 was "11 in 11," Cardinal fans are now picking up on the slogan "12 in 12."
If a stray squirrel finds its way onto the field during the Giants-Cardinals series, we'll know it's meant to be.

HILO - Remote Hawaii precincts that were closed after a tropical storm clobbered the area will hold balloting Friday, but it's unclear how thousands of voters will find out in time to cast ballots.
The sprawling Puna District could provide the deciding votes in the tight U.S. Senate race between Sen. Brian Schatz and Rep. Colleen Hanabusa. The Democratic primary was too close to call after officials tallied votes over the weekend.
Hanabusa plans to file an injunction to stop Friday's election.
"The real question is, how you are you going to get this information out to the people?" Hanabusa said in an interview. "There's no phone, electricity is at best sparingly coming back, and there's no other form of communication out there, so how are you going go to tell them they're going to have a major election on Friday?"
you going to get this information out to the people?" Hanabusa said in an interview. "There's no phone, electricity is at best sparingly coming back, and there's no other form of communication out there, so how are you going go to tell them they're going to have a major election on Friday?"
Election officials said Tuesday that they were notifying voters by mail and contacting them in other ways. Many in the area, however, remain without power and water and say they have more immediate concerns.
"I ran into a couple good friends in Pahoa town and asked them if they voted, and they looked at me like I was crazy," said Roy Lozano, a chiropractor who was running for a county council seat in a neighboring district.
"It's unconscionable that they're holding the election, even on Friday. People aren't thinking about elections," he said.
Office of Elections spokesman Rex Quidilla said officials are sending letters and relying on the local county clerk to make voters aware. The county clerk's office is putting up banners and handing out fliers to schoolchildren to tell their parents about the vote, said program administrator Pat Matsumoto. Quidilla said the office was assured by Hawaii Civil Defense, Hawaii County and the attorney general's office that voters would be able to get to polling places.
"We wanted to run the election and bring an end to the primary election for the state of Hawaii," Quidilla said. "We were relying on information provided to us (by) what we thought was a good source."
In Hawaiian Paradise Park, a rural development where hundreds of albizia trees damaged homes and downed power lines, mailboxes were destroyed and those who were able went driving around to charge cellphones in their cars.
About 6,800 residents remained without power in the Puna area Tuesday, according to Hawaiian Electric Co.
"There are pockets throughout the region where the damage is so severe that customers should be prepared for an extended outage," the company said in a statement.
Hanabusa surveyed the damage by helicopter and saw devastation in towns like Kapoho where the polls were open Saturday. Voters there aren't getting a second chance to vote.
"You could see the homes off the foundations near the ocean, and that area was also expected to vote," Hanabusa said.
Hanabusa trails Schatz by 1,635 votes, facing an uphill climb, so she could benefit from more time to win over voters.
Schatz's campaign spokeswoman, Meaghan Smith, said the experts at the Office of Elections and the county clerk on the Big Island are "in a far better position to evaluate how to proceed with this election than anyone else."
Residents in the Puna District say they've been neglected, and not just about the elections. They say they've been restoring order to neighborhoods using their own chain saws and equipment to clear fallen trees.
"This is a disaster," Pascual Aguilar said. "We don't rely on government agencies to help. We do it ourselves. You don't see much of any help."
Aguilar worked with a crew to repair an oceanfront home after massive waves climbed over a 25-foot cliff, throwing boulders across the property and into the house, and leaving a gaping hole in the lava cliff.
Voter turnout dropped more sharply on the Big Island than the rest of the state, even excluding the closed precincts, according to an Associated Press analysis of election data.
There was a staggering drop of nearly 24 percent in turnout on the Big Island on Election Day, even though voter registration in the precincts that were allowed to vote was up 5 percent. Turnout overall on the Big Island dropped nearly 8 percent in places allowed to vote, even though absentee turnout rose almost 6 percent, about on pace with registration.

NEW YORK (AP) - Tourists heeding the urging of New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani to come visit are finding bargains at more than 350 of New York City's best hotels, museums, restaurants, stores, Broadway shows and other businesses.
They are participating in a promotion called "Paint the Town Red, White & Blue," organized by NYC & Company, as the city's tourism arm calls itself. It's a new version of the popular Paint the Town Red winter celebration, and it began two months early this year to include November and December in addition to the usual months of January and February.
NYC Freedom Packages begin as low as $157 per person for a one-night hotel stay, a Broadway show, dinner, donation to the Twin Towers Fund, discounted parking and additional discounts all over town.

Generations of Bulls come together
caines | 5/16/2013, 5:30 a.m.
Principals of the 70s, teachers of the 80s, staff members of the 90s, students of present time and many other Bulls came together at the First Annual Retirement Luncheon at Miami Northwestern Senior High School on May 10. The generations discussed their love for the school and its past and present happenings. Its always good to come back, said Taja O. Elbert, a former clerk and 1989 graduate of the school. Northwestern has always had a rich tradition, where we leave, come back and give to our school. We have people who never graduated from Northwestern, but when they begin to teach at Northwestern, the bull spirit is in their heart. Steve Gallon, III, principal from 1998-2005, shared a table with George Koonce, Jr., who was principal from 1977-1987, and also Gallons principal. Koonce remembered that Gallon spearheaded a special presentation in honor of him at a commencement ceremony. It is important for people to know their tradition and from whence theyve come, Gallon, said. [The students] need to have a basic understanding of the struggles and sacrifices of those who came before them. Jevon Gardner, the student who carries the Mr. Miami Northwestern 2012-2013 title, said the event opened [his] eyes to see how Northwestern has grown over the years. Ida Cash, who worked as a guidance counselor at Northwestern from 1963-1970, said she enjoyed seeing the new Northwestern because she served at the former Miami Northwestern building. After working at Northwestern for about seven years, she was transferred to Hialeah Senior High School during a time when schools were desegregated. She said it was an honor to attend the event because it let former educators know that Northwestern is still here and still cares. I was always a bull at heart, Ildiko Matchus, the librarian, said. She had worked at Northwestern for 10 years before retiring. But it wasnt long after, that she returned to the school for her former position. She enjoyed attending the event. We have to remember the past, so we can safeguard the future, she said. She said it is important for students to know the people who played a major part in the schools history, such as Louie Bing, a science teacher and track and field coach from 1962-1981, who the present track and field is named after. Gallons administration named the track in his honor, according to Bing. It is important to encourage the young people to try to excel because at one time we were in their shoes, he said. He said that the older generations have experienced the same trials and tribulations and they are proof that you can overcome them. Mary Jo Batist daughter of the luncheons organizer, Johnnie Batist, and teacher at Lenora B. Smith Elementary said the event was special to her. Her mother worked at Northwestern for 40 years, and over the years she got to know many of the faculty and staff members well. She said they were like a family. I was born into this school, she said. Northwestern has a really rich history, the faculty were really close and seeing them together is really nice. By Malika A. email@example.com

I haven't gotten to as many Monday night acoustic shows at One Trick Pony as I'd have liked over the years (dang it), missing nationally respected singer-songwriters and acts like Chris Smither, The Kennedys, Devil in a Woodpile and Harry Manx. They're just a few of the names who've played the Hat Trick Concert Series sponsored by community radio station WYCE-FM (88.1) since 2001.
But I've seen enough of 'em -- from Paul Thorn and Katryna and Nerissa Nields to last Monday night's show starring Maine-based singer and guitarist Mark Erelli -- to know this is a special sort of concert series in a special place with a special audience that often packs the intimate downtown restaurant on what's usually a slow night for entertainment.
It's so special that the eight-year-old series, which passes the hat at every show to raise money for local charities, just topped the $50,000 mark in donations to more than 70 nonprofit organizations in the Grand Rapids area, the subject of my column in Sunday's Press.
It's that combo of fine acoustic music for a good cause in the intimate setting of Dan Verhil's restaurant/bar that makes this a must-see event every other Monday. For those that have never made it out, here's a taste of what you've missed in this video from Erelli's recent performance in the Hat Trick series.
|Mark Erelli "Once"
Hat Trick is also an interesting community effort, with volunteers and folks from WYCE doing intros and helping set things up, local guitarist Mark Swanson providing sound, representatives from the featured charity touting their cause, and Grand Rapids singer-songwriter Ralston Bowles making the rounds among tables, hawking handfuls of CDs by that night's performer.
(Bowles, by the way, jetted off to Europe after Monday night's show for a three-week tour of clubs and festivals in Sweden, Denmark and Germany with renowned blues guitarist Walter Trout. He promises to send me regular updates from the road as he tours behind his most recent album, "Rally at the Texas Hotel," so I'll share them here with "Sound Check" readers.)
Speaking of good causes, my band -- The Honeytones -- will play a rare show Sunday at Founders Brewing Co. for charity, so stop by if you can, especially if you're a fan of classic rock-type jams or just want to pelt me with soft vegetables or whatever. Feedback 2009 features Ras Tyger, The Honeytones, Flashback and Mid-Life Crisis, with music starting at 4 p.m. The lion's share of proceeds from the $5 admission go to support ACCESS of West Michigan, which oversees food pantries for needy families and works to eliminate poverty in Kent County.

Suspects sought in arson fires involving hundreds of hay bales in Collin County
Fire officials are seeking the public's help in identifying those responsible for setting hundreds of hay bales on fire near the towns of Josephine and Nevada in the southeastern part of Collin County.
"We're extremely concerned that one of these fires could spread into a residential area," Collin County Interim Fire Marshal Jason Browning said in a news release. "What may have started as simple criminal mischief has turned to arson, and the threat to people and their property is serious."
The three fires involving hay bales have been intentionally set overnight during the last two weeks on leased farmland near FM547 and County Roads 643 and 637, according to Browning.
Anyone with information should contact the Collin County Fire Marshal's Office at 972-548-5576 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Other posts by Philip Weiss.
I am glad you are showing photographic evidence of these weapons, it helps to crystallize reality of the colonial oppression. Below you will find a photograph of actual shrapnel taken from the bodies of Palestinians, stamped with Made In The USA –
The question is whether the IDF has stopped using tear gas on peaceful demonstrators and are now using lethal chemical weapons. The spent canisters should be analyzed for trace chemicals utilized in chemical warfare.
They won't be able to do that much longer, with all the settlers horning in. The gas might irritate some Jews!
If you think the IDF is worried about injuring Jews or anybody else you should check out someone like Matan Cohen who had an eye removed after a rubber bullet was aimed right in his face when he was demonstrating at Bil'in.
Mairead Corrigan who used to be front-page news in UK when she was leading Northern Irish 'peace women' , and won Nobel peace prize, was injured twice by the occupation forces at Bil'in. But neither British nor Irish papers nor the BBC reported this. Once you take sides with Palestinians fighting for their rights you become an 'unperson' so far as our media are concerned. Good job we got alternatives like Mondoweiss.
But those weren't real Jews. Those were self-hating Jews.
I'm talking about the settler Jews living in Silwan, the gas might waft through their window into their houses.
Do not use after expiration date? Because its less harmful then?
Well, what i know, if used after expiration date. Gas effectiveness may vary. There might be some aerosol propellant leaking out, and two ways it can change gas effect. It might make gas coming stronger, or less effective. Thats why factory marks expiration date to canister or spray bottle.
I have myself OC gas, and it has said that it cant be used after exp. date because it might become stronger => more harmful, maybe.
Gas can also be contaminated with more virulent substance, the contamination can cause any combination of symptoms. The canisters should be examined for tampering, which could explain the long distance that was used to shoot them. Particulates can be added which adhere to the breathing passage ways, and are especially dangerous to people with asthmatic conditions or pre-existing conditions, which still does not excuse Israeli violence.
Just a quick note to see if my login is working.
Is this like the one whose contents killed Jawaher Abu Rahme and blinded Emily the American artist?
Whoever decided that it was a good idea to identify the country of origin of various weapons, chemicals, etc., must be kicking himself now. I'm waiting for that requirement to disappear, as in the case of the food industry refusing to label GMO or GBH foods.

I don't have much experience with IEMs.
You can read about Yamaha's EPH-100 here at Head Fi.
They sound warm with nice sub bass and detailed presentation.
(Also metal made, and provide very good isolation)
Best Luck!
Take a look here for the best IEM information around: http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-297-iems-compared-steelseries-flux-in-ear-flux-in-ear-pro-added-09-25-13-p-772
You can jump to the bottom of the first page for a summary table of ratings and prices and then read the specific review details on any that sound like they fit the bill for you.
It will be easier to suggest with a price range. The iem can range from $5 to $4000 and more.
Try checking out the following iems:
- Rockit sound R-50
- Vsonic GR07BE
- T-Peos H-100/ H-200
all of them are highly rated or check this link:

Can't go wrong with HiFi ;)
Enjoy your purchase bro
This may be a dumb question but would a portable amp help them sound better or louder? I had a fiio one but I seem to haveisplaced it was thinking bout getting one of their better ones but if there's no need for it then i won't get it. And would if be wise to get after market tips? Do they help with sound or isolation? Because the sanheiser ones I have I can hardly hear anything especially when my volume is at least half way
What source are you using it with? The source will play a big part in whether or not an amp is of value.
As for tips, the selection provided with my HiFiMans was always good and I often find tip selection tricky. Isolation is not amazing because of the tiny vents required for dynamic drivers, but I never have any problems with the Re272s even on loud public transport. Once the music is on, their isolation seems to be sufficient.
In that case, an amp and line-out adapter would be a great option. The iPods are good, but you'll hear a significant improvement from an amp.

I highly recommend the Astrotec AX7 and if you want 80% of the sound at half the price, go for the Hisound Audio BA-100.

Kevin O'Brien's column of Nov. 8 implies that half of the public in this country is irrational because they did not vote for his candidate, Mitt Romney. He sees the president of the United States as a "fun fad -- a celebrity president."
Enough is enough.
If the Republicans were so thrilled with their own policies, why wasn't George W. Bush trotted out at every campaign event? Aren't his policies the same ones Romney was espousing? Face it: The only people that are irrational are the rich white men who attempted to buy this election and were thwarted at every turn. You can either accept that times are changing or you can live in the past. Apparently, O'Brien, chooses the latter.

Wallace, a 1st Team All-State selection, will make his official visit to U of L this weekend. He made a previous unofficial visit to Louisville for the Cardinals home finale against Houston.
As a junior he was named All-State Honorable Mention, Kentucky New Era All-Grid 1st team, Leaf Cronicle All-Area 1st team and Western Kentucky Conference 1st team. Wallace led Fort Campbell with 133 tackles (70 solo) and carried the ball 17 times for 105 yards and spearheaded a defense that only gave up 77 points in 13 games (5.9 points per game).
In addition to Kentucky, Wallace also received interest from Michigan State, Tennessee, Memphis, among others.
Wallace joins linebackers Maurice Mitchell and Johnnie Burns as members of the 2004 Louisville football recruiting class.
