By Belchfist Beastkiller in Bloodborne Realm 2Today I played a similar scale game to my previous endeavour (around 350 pts) of Stormcast versus my Bloodborne force!
My Khorne force consisted of:
Bloodsecrator, 5 Blood Warriors, 10 Bloodreavers, 10 Bloodreavers
Stormcast forces:
Lord-Relictor, 2 Retributors, 4 Liberators, 3 Prosecutors
We had great fun setting up a makeshift board of terrain that included a magma (toilet tissue!) river that spanned the battlefield, various bridges, and a Plasma Pump (paint pot!) that formed the objective of the game. My Khornate forces were tasked with reaching the top of the plasma pump and destroying it (with rules we created for it, it's destruction causing great carnage!) and the Eternals tasked with defending it.
Here is the set up
Followed by the set up of units:
If it's not clear, the Bloodreavers were set up as near to the blu tac bridge, and the other unit to take the shortest route toward the tower (risking death jumping the blood warriors set up over the longer bridge as a distraction unit and my opponent took the bait and set up his lord relictor and Retributors to combat them. My Bloodsecrator was hidden with the bloodreavers out of sight of the prosecutors' flying hammers.
movement turn one:
More to follow...
By Tyberous Khan in Teeth of the Hungry Mountain 3I've been away from my blog for a while, simply because I've been super busy moving house and everything's been living in cases!
But today I got some bits out and started painting again Now, ever since reading the first AoS book, I loved the image of an army of giants! And then when the rules came out for Sons of Behemat in god beasts, I ha to give it a go!
I am still continuing my ogors, but these are just another detachment of Khans great horde! WIP at the moment, but would love to hear you're thoughts on my first three (smaller) Giants

By I R GMAN in Da Followers of Graw - In Da Makin' 5Here are some of the lads, which are mainly just me testing some basing ideas a while ago along with what paint scheme I wanted to try out.
I think some Beastclaw Raider are to be next, the Everwinter is hungry and I can't wait to try out some fur schemes ^^
By I R GMAN in Da Followers of Graw - In Da Makin' 0So Graw, the beast behind the horde. So here is a little fluff before I start posting my models.
The Legend of Graw, The God-Beast
Perhaps it was during the Age of Myth when the beast tore from across the horizon, spawned from some savage domain where only beasts of pantheon proportions survived. Or perhaps it is a freak of its kind having swelled to elephantine size after devouring some overconfident demigod. All I can be sure of is during the Age of Myth came the God-Beast, The Breaker, Peak-Eater, Graw the Unstoppable, and since that time it has devoured mountains, drained seas and shattered the empires of all those unfortunate enough to find themselves swallowed by its looming shadow.
It was said that many true beasts tramped across Ghur through the Age of Myth before Sigmar set forth Gorkamorka and his orruk kin to tame it, and for a while they did As they slew the titans and littered the realms with their bones, however it was not to last. As much their nature as Ghur itself eventually the leash was thrown free and Gorkamorka set forth on the worlds with wild abandon. Perhaps we called Graw upon ourselves, our failed attempts to tame that which can never be tamed; merely infuriating the very land we now campaign across against the forces of Chaos, the hunting and culling simply calling forth a creature that defied us in its mere existence, and pulverised our arrogance of dominion like reeds before the hurricane.
Graw is quite simply a beast to rival all beasts, a predator of colossal proportions. Graw itself rivals mountains in sheer size and enormity, and when seen from a distance the craggy peaks of its rolling back look no different to a far off mountain range, until to the surprise of most it moves and the earth for leagues around quakes with each monumental footstep. Atop the God-Beast are jagged peaks of stone like mountains that rise from the beasts back, harsh mounts that at times are wreathed in frost and snow. At some time in the ancient past it is said that Graw traveled to the southern jungles of Ghur, the Everwilds, where the thorn covered jungles are just as willing to sink their teeth into flesh as the beasts that stalk them. Perhaps the essence of Ghyran had found its way to those vicious valleys but the fanged plants and flesh eating blooms of the Everwilds possess an unnatural vigour, able to take root from windblown seeds in the most inhospitable of places from the searing ash fields of Aqshy to the shadowed clefts of Shyish' Nocturn Depths. What is known is that between Graw's own mountainous peaks that rise from its spine a blanket of carnivorous rainforest has taken root and now flourishes and where the beast treads pockets of steaming jungle are quick to take root.
When Graw bellows, the very sound perhaps the origin of its orruk name, it rends the heavens above, forests are flattened before it and the steel is beaten from the will of mortals. Graw is the the wilds incarnate, unstoppable and utterly destructive. The fyreslayers of the Molten Lake once let loose upon it with their magma craft thinking their citadel safe with leagues of lava between them and the beast. Their arrogance was quickly quashed when Graw swam across the molten sea like some vast predatory island and devoured their keep. The skaven thought themselves safe untold leagues beneath the Bonepeak Mountains but Graw still smelt their stench and dug them from their subterranean lairs like the vermin they are and feasted on the shrieking rat things and their creations. And even before them when chaos came to Ghur and the champion demons of Khorn thought to pit themselves against the God-Beast, like they had a chance. How many demon princes and bloodthirsters last sights were Graw's feet descending to crush them into oblivion. Perhaps one of the great Plaguespawn of Ghyran might one day match Graw, or even the Necrogargants of Shyish, but I myself doubt it for the annals of history surrounding Graw are simply an obituary to the kingdoms, races and monsters that have met their fate the day they crossed paths with the God-Beast.
Since its arrival the God-Beast Graw has raged across Ghur, from the Sea of Claws to the Roarings Sands and even to the Lost Isles. On occasion Graw has even been known to rampage straight through to other realms when it's rage is great enough, but eventually the winds of beast magic will pull Graw back to its home plane, however by then the damage has already been done. There are many titanic creatures that have roamed the realms and especially Ghur since the Age of Myth, many of which the gods even feared when they first awoke however what sets Graw apart from most monstrous wild beings is its connection with the children of Gorkamorka. The beast draws all offspring of Gorkamorka like moths to a flame, they flock to the behemoth of carnage and ravenous hunger and some believe Graw truly does carry the green gods favour.
It is said some of the first Bonesplitter orruks set themselves against Graw when it was young, its bones a prize worthy of the greatest shaman, but they were none the less devoured one tribe after the other until the first Prophet of Graw asked his bones how to slay the beast. The response from his seers bones, the knuckle bones of an Ur-Drake, was an explosion of green flame and splintered bone that really should have killed him there and then, but he stepped out of the smoke and flame, a vision burning in his beady red eyes. Graw was the gods chosen beast, and where ever it roamed, hunts, fighting and as much meat as they could fit in their tusk filled gobs would follow. And so began the first of many tribes of Graw, followers of the God-Beast. Now, many generations later, the Prophet of Graw, stands atop an idol of colossal beast bones atop Graw's broad skull, divining where the God-Beast and his followers will hunt next. Orruks, ogors and grots alike follow the beast from one horizon to the next, knowing all too well that Graw will lead them to the next big fight be it the beasts of chaos, the ghouls of the flesh eating courts or our own stormcast warriors. Even upon his own back tribes of orruks, grots and ogors fight as much as with each other as the predatory plants and carnivorous jungles that call Graw their home, it is even said when Graw sets itself upon a kingdom that its followers will descend to the world below, grateful that the God-Beast has carried them to new and exotic fighting grounds.
Now where ever Graw the Unstoppable,the Earthbreaker, the Beastmaw roams, the hordes of Gorkamorka are soon to follow.
I aided in the retaking of Aqshy. I fell during to Age of Chaos as the twisted sons of Khorn tore my family apart in the Dustlands of Ghur and was brought back by Sigmar himself to bring vengeance down upon the spawn of the dark gods. But now I doubt. Graw cares not for conquest, or kingdoms or even the whims of gods. The worlds quake before his hunger and break beneath his rage.
The God-Beast cometh...
By Belchfist Beastkiller in Bloodborne Realm 3Another full day of painting (off work at the moment as I finished my previous job) and the Bloodsecrator is finished and added to the Bloodreaver as fully painted. I'm actually very happy with them. Again forgive the 1am pictures. I need to set up a photo shoot for the group in some nice natural light!!
By Kessler in Sarvikuhord 0After the sad encounter on the road, we got a message about a lone orc travelling in the swamps of Witchforest. A spy maybe?
Battleplan: Out of the Mists (deadly mists around each scenery piece, might kill a model charging/running through the mists, nothing to seen in the mist; at Orc's 3rd Move phase a messenger appears in enemy's decided scenery; victory conditions: kill 75% of enemy starting models, minor/major victory depends on the surviving of the messenger).
Matrix result: Bretonnia flanked over the swamp, got flanking unit and trecherous path (roll during setup for each unit, on 1-2 suffers d3 mortal wounds)
Points: 1000
Bretonnian army:
8 Grail knights
20 Peasant Bowmen (-1 for trecherous path)
10 Empire Greatswords (-3 for trecherous path)
1 Empire General (general)
1 Paladin
1 Battlemage
Orc army:
Messenger: Grot Shaman on Wolf
20 Savage Orruk Arrow Boys
7 Ogres with ironfists
4 Ironguts (with general)
1 Butcher (with battle brew)
Had 1 point less, so I rolled on Triumph Table and got to reroll hits.
Pre-battle strategy: probably no chance to keep the messenger alive, so it was just a fast and cheap decoy; take out Bowmen with Arrow Boys to deny them x4 Arrow Storm; get cover bonus for ogres with Mystic shield (Save 3+) and use them as meatshield against Grail Knight charge (while making some damage with ironfists), then hit the Knights with Ironguts with reach 2 from behind the ogres. Keep general among ironguts to definitely get +1 to hit.
1st ROUND
Phase 1: Orcs gave initiative to Bretonnia. Bretonnia secretly decided a place for messenger to appear and set up flanking Grail Knights to catch it. Made some spells, otherwise remained stationary.
Phase 2: Savage Orruks moved forward, shot Greatswords (the bowmen were already under 20, so the Arrow Storm was already x3 and I hoped the mists hinder shooters enough), killed all but one. Ogres retreated into the mists, away from charging Grail Knights.
2nd ROUND
Phase 1: Bretonnia won initiative (and all initiatives but one from this point on, 9 rounds), Bowmen made Arrow Storm to Savage Orruks (60 something shots), only 7 Orruks died thanks to mystic shield and Inspiring Presence.
Phase 2: Orcs were hiding in the mists and moving between scenery pieces toward the enemy.
3rd ROUND
Both armies maneuvered carefully, a messenger appeared.
4th ROUND
Phase 1: Orcs won the initiative for the first and only time, so the messenger moved into the mists towards the edge of the board, therefore denying Grail Knights their charge. Otherwise careful maneuvering in the mists.
Phase 2: Bretonnian Battle Mage dispelled the mist, Bowmen shot messenger, then charged and killed him.
5th ROUND
More maneuvering, Grail Knights came closer.
6th ROUND
Phase 1: Bretonnia maneuvered.
Phase 2: Most important phase. Butcher failed a spell and also made himself a wound. Grail Knights were temptingly close (and I was sleepy as hell and wanted to end the battle, one way or another), so I dropped my charge-waiting strategy. Moved closer with battle trait, but ogres did not roll enough and couldn't get out of the mists... but ironguts did.
Ironguts charged and failed most of the attack rolls. Great... Then I rerolled hits (Triumph Table ability), and altogether wiped out 6 Grail Knights. Remaining two ran away with battleshock. Ironguts get damage from knights, Paladin and general.
7th ROUND
Phase 1: Paladin takes out all Ironguts (with his weapon making 2+ attack and d6 mortal wounds). Never get close to Paladin with tough units.
Phase 2: Ogres attack, but there is no room and I make some stupid decisions, so have to divide the attacks and nothing special happens. Except that 2 ogres die.
8th ROUND
Battlemage heals all heroes' wounds, I get rid of Battlemage, an ogre dies. Arrowboys shoot Bowmen, kill two but thanks to Bellower standing close to Bowmen, 6 models more run with Battleshock.
9th ROUND
Suddenly Bretonnian player remembers, that for winning we have to kill 75% of models, I count the models and discover that I need to kill 4 models to win, so I turn my attention to Bowmen instead of heroes and kill 6.
SUMMARY: another close call, but this time minor victory and 2 points to orcs. If we had to fight till the last models, probably I would have lost.
The mists were helpful against Bowmen, but I couldn't try the pre-battle strategy with meatsheld. And ironfists did not work at all this time, and due to the fact I could not use them as shield I needed rerolling much more.
The final charge was actually from bad position (without rerolling hits it would have been catastrophic), Ironguts had no Mystic Shield and they had to attack into 3 close units, so they got hit a lot. But altogether the charge was probably still better, usually I do not get so close to Grail Knights. Lots of maneuvering and moving models back-and-forth to avoid the charge.
Paladins d6 mortal wound weapon can be devastating, Empire General can give +1 to hit/wound to nearby units, which is simply awful (Grail Knights get 2+ hit, rerolling fails...).
Ironguts really need some buffing on hitting, otherwise their 4+ hit too easily fails. Triumph Table can be very, very important. Without this Orcs would have lost.
Maneuvering game takes LOTS of time. This game took more than 4 hours. And it was 1000 point game... It seems that against Bretonnia the game is mostly centered on who gets the charge.
Next game will probably be sometime in October.
By Kessler in Sarvikuhord 2It all started when a large group of orcs were sighted near Rugna. They haven't dared to venture so far into the valley for hundred years...
Battleplan: A Champion Emerges (battle starts with duel between two heroes in the middle, winner and friendly units get big bonus). No victory points.
Points: 500
Bretonnian army:
5 Grail knights
5 Freeguild Outriders
1 Empire General (general)
1 Paladin
Orc army:
21 Savage Orruk Arrow Boys (1 general, command trait +1 to hit, battletrait 1d6 move in hero phase)
5 Orruk Boarbys
1 Tyrant with talisman
I had less points, so I rolled on Triumph Table and got to reroll wounds.
Pre-battle strategy: have general among arrowboys to get +1 to hit with command trait, move closer with Savage Orruks, shoot the grail knights, then keep distance by putting boarboyz in the middle to get charged and keep attackers busy, while shooting with Arrowboys.
Duel between Paladin and Tyrant was short: Paladin missed, tyrant hit with great gutgouger, rolled 6, made double damage and Paladin was dead.
1st ROUND
Phase 1: Orcs took initiative. Boarboys ran forward, Savage Orruks moved closer with battletrait and fired at Freeguild Outriders (the Grail Knights were completely hidden behind scenery), 63 shots with 4+ (command trait)/4+. 4 Outriders died. For some unexplainable reason Tyrant charged at remaining lone outrider and they were out.
Phase 2: Grail Knights charged Tyrant and killed it.
2nd ROUND
Phase 1: Bretonnia got initiative, Grail Knights charged Savage Orruks.
Phase 2: Orruk Boarboys charged. From here to the bitter end it was simply hack and slash. Savage Orruks 2 wounds were surprisingly good, their melee was shitty. Boarboys were hardy and hit quite well.
And after some more rounds Bretonnia won with Grail Knight with 1 wound and General with 2 wounds.
SUMMARY: Loss to Orcs, but close call. Savage Orruks shooting is wonderful with command trait, but nothing special with model numbers under 20 and hitting on 5. Grail Knights charge is devastating. Do whatever you can to avoid it. Tyrant's charge to lonely Outrider was completely pointless and without that the Orcs probably would have won.
By Kessler in Sarvikuhord 1The orcs and ogres have become restless in the mountains. Their numbers have grown and there are rumours of a new powerful and cunning leader. Sarvikuhord is preparing an invasion to nearby valley under Bretonnian rule.
So, after playing about 5 games of Warhammer we decided to start a campaign with my friend. Campaign is home brew, mixture of Matched Play, Map Campaign and Matrix Campaign. Inspired from Red Hand of Doom, a DD 3.5 adventure module. There are important places to conquer and after winning, the winner gets a small bonus for the rest of the campaign. Of course, other player may attack the same place and take the bonus to himself. Almost all battlemaps actually favour fast and shooty army, so I believe my Gutbusters will have tough times.
Measuring from bases, points per model, no minimum battleline units (probably that changes at some moment when we have enough models).
Victory Points required to win the campaign: 10
Loss/Draw: 1 p
Minor Victory: 2 p
Major Victory: 3 p
I haven't found much battle reports about ogres vs Brettonnia/Free People, so I thought maybe its useful for someone. I try to make the report short, but useful and - to some extent - interesting. No description of every single move we made, just general tactics.
Any comments and advice is more than welcome.
Some days ago we had our first two games.

on January 16, 2013 - 12:01 AM
A new Volkswagen dealership is rolling into the region.
Basil Volkswagen of Lockport plans to open this summer in the vacant former home of Basil Toyota on South Transit Road, said Michael Basil, the dealership principal. Basil Toyota previously moved into a refurbished location next door.
This will be the fourth Volkswagen dealership in Buffalo Niagara, but the only one in Niagara County.
"We've been chasing this thing well over a year," Basil said. "There was some extreme competition for this [dealership]."
About $4 million will be poured into the former Toyota location, at 6179 South Transit Road, to create the Volkswagen dealership, Basil said. About half of the old facility will be torn down, and another 20 percent of the existing space will be gutted, as the facility is remodeled.
"We really, really like Volkswagen," Basil said. "We like the reputation, we like the quality, we like the direction the company is going with their new products."
Last year, Volkswagen's U.S. sales increased 35 percent, and it more than doubled its 2009 volume. Germany-based Volkswagen Group has set ambitious goals, such as selling 1 million vehicles (counting both Volkswagen and Audi brand vehicles) in the U.S. by 2018, compared with about 577,000 last year. It also aims to be the leader in global sales by 2018; Volkswagen was No. 3 last year, behind Toyota and General Motors.
A Volkswagen spokesman could not be reached to comment Tuesday.
Buffalo Niagara's three Volkswagen dealers sold 1,594 new units in 2012, up 20.5 percent from 2011, according to the Niagara Frontier Automobile Dealers Association. The three are: Northtown in Amherst, Schmitt's in Bowmansville and Volkswagen of Orchard Park.
Basil Volkswagen projects sales of 500 new vehicles and 400 used vehicles in its first year of business. The dealership will start with about 25 employees and expects that number will grow to about 50 in five years.
The new dealership, which Basil hopes will debut in August, will add to the "automotive row" that has developed in Lockport. Basil said the town has proved to be a good place to do business. "It's a very good community with great people, and they like to support the businesses that are in town."
Basil in 2001 acquired the Toyota dealership in Lockport and continues to own it. He said he believes that dealership's track record helped him prevail in the competition for the new Volkswagen dealership.
The Toyota and Volkswagen brands complement each other, he said, with Volkswagen promoting clean-burning diesel cars and Toyota emphasizing hybrid technology.
The new Volkswagen dealership will feature the automaker's new "White Frame" design, which gives cars prominent spots at the front of the showroom. "Volkswagen is extremely exacting on how the dealerships are built and laid out," Basil said.

Instructions for Completing the Municipal Court Caseload Report
1. Caseload Information by Category
These are instructions for completing the Municipal Court Caseload Report to be sent to the Office of S.C. Court Administration. These instructions are only to be used as a guide in completing the report, and are to be used only for reporting the caseload activity which has already taken place.
The Criminal case section of your report is broken down into three major state crime categories: DUI, Other Traffic and Non-Traffic. The remaining section is for Municipal Ordinances. In the state crimes section, information on those cases involving state statutory offenses which were handled by your Municipal Court should be reported.
Only the number of 1st Offense D.U.I. cases handled by the court should be noted here.
Other Traffic
Please note the number of cases involving a statutory offense relating to the operation of a motor vehicle, which are within the trial jurisdiction. (Common examples of such offenses are violation of inspection law, driving under suspension (D.U.S.), no driver's license, operating an uninsured vehicle, etc.).
Please note all cases resulting from a violation of statutory law, which are within the trial jurisdiction of the Municipal Courts. (Simple assault and disorderly conduct are two statutory offenses which might fall within this category).
The line for Municipal Ordinances should be reserved for reporting those cases resulting from the violation of some specific ordinance the municipality has enacted. All municipal ordinances violations (traffic and non-traffic) filed with, and disposed of by, the court should be consolidated and reported on this line. (NOTE: the sole exception here is parking tickets. Please do not include in this section any statistical information relating to the issuance of parking tickets). Also, please be careful not to "double report" cases, i.e. if the municipality has adopted a state law and now enforces it as a municipal ordinance, report the filing and disposition of that case only once in this section.
Please keep in mind that the "Criminal Cases" section of your report should only include those cases which are triable in the Municipal Court. Do not include in this section cases over which a
2. Caseload Information by Column
(a) Cases Pending First of Period
The pending first of period column is the first of six reporting columns in the Criminal Cases sections of your report. In this column, enter the total number of cases that have been filed with the court prior to the first day of the reporting period, but not yet concluded by that date. To determine the date that a case should be counted as filed in the court, the number which you will enter in this column will represent cases for which the court had acquired a charging paper prior to the first day of the reporting period.
Arriving at this pending first of period figure for the first report may present some difficulty, depending on the record-keeping system used by the Municipal Court. Those courts which keep a running list of pending cases should encounter little difficulty in completing this part of the report. The number of cases pending at the first of the period should be the same as the cases pending at the end of the last period. However, if the court does not keep such a list, it will be necessary to review the docket book in order to isolate and categorize those cases which were pending on, for example, January 1, 1998. This initial review may seem time consuming, but should prove to be beneficial in two respects: First, there will be an accurate numerical summary of any cases awaiting disposition; Second, this should be the only time this type of review will be necessary to determine your pending first of period figures.
(b) Cases Filed During Period
A case should be counted as "filed" with the court only when it has received a copy of the charging paper for that case. For a 1st Offense D.U.I. case, or other state traffic case, this charging paper will be the Uniform Traffic Ticket. For a non-traffic criminal case, the charging paper will usually be an arrest warrant. The charging paper for a case involving some violation of a Municipal Ordinance will vary according to the town's administrative procedures, but will usually consist of some citation which compels the violator to pay a fine or appear in court.
To determine the date that a case is filed with the court, it is necessary to identify the date on which the court acquired a copy of that charging paper. For instance, if a policeman in the town issues a traffic ticket on February 28, but does not turn in the court's copy of that ticket until March 1, that case should be counted as "filed" on March 1. For purposes of this report, only count those cases for which the court has a copy of the charging paper. If, for example, a judge in the court has issued an arrest warrant, but it has not been served and returned to the court, there is not yet a case which needs to be reported on this form. Therefore, cases reported in this column will be those for which the court acquired the charging paper during the reporting period.
Cases Concluded During Period
The "Concluded During Period" section of this report consists of three columns. Please remember that cases should be reported in these columns only if they were disposed of during the reporting period by the Municipal Court. The following criteria should help in determining the appropriate column:
(c) Cases Concluded by Jury Trial
Any case in which a jury was requested and convened or which was concluded during the reporting period by the verdict of a jury should be included on the appropriate category line in this column. i.e., if the jurors were paid, include those cases in this category.
(d) Cases Concluded by Non-Jury Trial
Please note in this column any case in which a judge in the Municipal Court actually made a decision regarding the guilt or innocence of a defendant.
(e) Cases Concluded by Forfeiture
Guilty Plea or Other Disposition In this column, consolidate all cases that were disposed of by: Forfeiture of Bond (simply paying a traffic ticket before trial and then not appearing in court on the trial date is an example of a "Forfeiture"); a defendant's guilty plea, nol-prossed by the Solicitor or Law Enforcement Officer; transfer to another court, etc. In essence, any case which was disposed of by the court during the reporting period without requiring a verdict by a jury or judge should be reported in this column.
(f) Cases Pending End of Period
This column is used to show the number of cases which were pending first of period, or filed during the period, that were not concluded during the reporting period. Once you have determined the "Pending End of Period" figures are determined for your first report, reporting for the second reporting period will be greatly simplified. If accurate, those numbers can then be transferred to the next report as cases "Pending First of Period". If, for example, a total of twenty (20) Criminal Cases are reported as "Pending End of Period" on the current report, then the "Pending First of Period" column on the next report will be exactly the same (i.e., a total of twenty (20) cases). If there is any variance between the two figures for the following period, then the report is incorrect.
Here is the formula to use in double-checking the numerical accuracy of your report:
3. Age of Pending State Criminal Cases
In this section of the report, the focus is determining how long any State Criminal Case has been awaiting disposition in the court. Only report State Criminal Cases in the "Age of Pending Criminal Cases" section. Do not report municipal ordinances.
To determine the age of a pending case, follow this procedure: Make sure there is a copy of the appropriate charging paper in the records. The date on which the charging paper was received will represent the "filing date" for that case. If the case is not concluded during the reporting period, then it will be shown in the appropriate category as "Cases Pending End of Period". Then, counting from the filing date, determine how long that case has been pending as of the last day of the reporting period.
Lines 1-4 in this section note the time span which will correspond to the age of the pending case(s). Two general rules should be of assistance in determining the "age" of a case; 1) If it is a new case and is still pending at the end of this month, then that case will be noted on Line 1, "1-30 Days". If a case is reported as "Pending First of Period" and remains pending at the end of this month, that case will be at least 31 days old, and so on.
Note that the columns in this section (D.U.I., Other Traffic, and Non-Traffic) correspond to the categories under the three "Criminal Cases" sections. Therefore, if there are three (3) D.U.I. Cases as "Pending End of Period" in the "Criminal Cases", section, then the "Total Pending" (Line 5) in the D.U.I. column of this section will also be three (3). The same is true for "Other Traffic" and "Non-Traffic" cases.
4. Criminal Case More Than 60 Days Old
All D.U.I., Other Traffic and Non-Traffic cases which have been pending more than 60 days (Lines 3 and 4) must be individually listed on the companion report "Criminal Cases More Than 60 Days Old" (SCCA/609). For each of those cases enter the defendant name, filing date, warrant or ticket number, offense, the reason the case had not reached disposition within 60 days, and the scheduled trial date. If additional lines are needed, please make copies of the form before listing the cases.
If the above instructions are unclear, or pose a problem for a particular court, please contact Court Administration at (803) 734-1800 before submitting the report.

Call it Paul McCartney's Love Tour—with special guest Nancy Shevell. For more than a year, the former Beatle, 66, has been all over the globe (Paris, Los Angeles, Tel Aviv) with his girlfriend on his arm and a smile on his face. The latest stop: New York City, where Shevell, 49, kept McCartney and his kids James, 31, and Mary, 39, company backstage at an April 4 concert for the David Lynch Foundation. Five days earlier the couple went to an event honoring his designer daughter Stella, 37, where Shevell (dressed in pieces from Stella's collection) received a noteworthy seal of approval: a kiss hello from Stella. Says a fashion insider: "She's thrilled for her father."
McCartney is likely just as elated. During his six-year marriage to Heather Mills, which cost him $48.6 million in a divorce settlement last year, he was plagued by rumors that his children—particularly Stella—didn't approve of his wife. "Having gone through a difficult period, he's in a much better place," says a source close to the singer. "He's very happy." Even Mills tells People she's glad for him. "Who doesn't move on in life?" she asks, adding that while she hasn't met Shevell yet, Beatrice, 5 (her daughter with McCartney), "likes her."
Shevell, an executive at her family's New Jersey-based trucking company (see box), began winning over the McCartney family during the summer of 2007, when she and Paul casually started seeing each other in the Hamptons. (They both have homes there, but because of his 50-50 custody arrangement with Mills, McCartney spends most days in London.) Despite their 17-year age difference, friends say they're a perfect match. "They have the right chemistry. They're both cool, chilled out and optimistic," says the close source, who calls them "very positive, laid-back people." Shevell also bears striking similarities to the love of McCartney's life, Linda: Like his first wife, Nancy is an outdoorsy East Coaster who attended college in Arizona and battled breast cancer in the mid-'90s—a battle Linda lost in 1998. Says a source who recently saw Shevell with McCartney in London: "It's a pity he didn't meet her [sooner]."
Though the couple haven't spoken out about each other, their mutual affection is obvious, whether hand in hand in the Hamptons or acting like what one observer calls "little schoolkids." An example? In L.A. for February's Grammy Awards, the pair cracked each other up while off to visit jeweler Neil Lane. "After Paul locked the car, the horn accidentally honked," says a witness. "He pretended to be startled while Nancy burst into laughter." When they reached the shop, "he was still goofing around as she struggled to compose herself."
On March 23, however, a photo of the giddy pair at a London play opening caused problems for Shevell: She is on the board of New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority, which had a committee meeting in Manhattan that day. She didn't endear herself to New York City subway riders either after voting for a 25 percent fare hike on March 25, but she has charmed many others. "I love her," McCartney pal Rosanna Arquette (who was briefly linked to the singer in 2007) told PEOPLE in February. "She's a very kind, courageous person," says Geri Barish, president and executive director of Hewlett House, a nonprofit cancer resource center Shevell and her ex-husband Bruce Blakeman helped found, where a tree planted in Linda McCartney's memory stands. "No matter what stature she has, she's an everyday, ordinary gal."
The British press may be eager for McCartney to make Shevell officially his gal (engagement rumors pop up regularly), but it's unclear whether he'll wed a third time. Says an old pal: "He doesn't feel obliged to marry, and the family isn't expecting it." But as journalist Ray Connolly, who has written about McCartney and the Beatles since the '60s, points out, "He's always been a family man." As for Shevell, "Nancy feels very lucky to have him in her life," says a close source. "I'm sure she's thinking marriage eventually, but she's enjoying the moment for now."

Nuclear Power, Japan and Hope
Japan's national soccer team has just beaten Sweden, and will face off against the United States team on Sunday for the World Cup. I have never been much of a sports fan, but this women's international soccer tournament has completely captured me. Regardless of who wins the championship, it promises to be an excellent game.
The United States national soccer team's dramatic come back in Germany last week against Brazil in the last seconds of the game is the stuff that legends are made of. The performance of the U.S. goalie, the aptly named Hope Solo, was also utterly awe-inspiring. Solo is a working class kid from Richland, Washington; which is also the home of the decommissioned Hanford Nuclear Site, the most contaminated nuclear waste site in the western hemisphere.
I am somewhat obsessed with the Hanford site, and just found out that there are actually public tours of the facility. Tons of spent nuclear fuel rods are stored there, and some entity must pay billions of dollars over time to somehow continue safely maintaining all of that dangerous nuclear waste for thousands of years.
Why are these purely economic costs (to say nothing of the gargantuan environmental expenses) consistently never factored into the price of nuclear energy? Nuclear power has to be the most dangerous, toxic, stupid and deadly method of boiling water that our species has ever devised.
Considering the horrific disasters wrought upon Japan in the last few months, including the various nuclear reactor meltdowns at Fukushima, the Japanese team is definitely the emotional favorite to win Sunday's final game. I don't really care which team is victorious in the soccer match; it is most satisfying to see both inspired girls, as well as dudes enthusiastically supporting women playing sports.
Nuclear Meltdown vs. Amazing Women Playing Soccer
Mostly I am just grateful and appreciative of the brief respite that these exciting soccer games have provided my brain from fixating upon the Fukushima nuclear meltdowns, as well as the billions of tons of poisonous nuclear waste that we have already created. Although, even with the distraction of Hope Solo and the World Cup, I still can not stop thinking about how we will ever be able to possibly keep that much highly radioactive toxic material "safe" for thousands of years to come.

It's been a journey from Bali to Slidell for Navy SEAL Brad Ruoff, who is using the upcoming New Orleans Home & Garden Show as his opportunity to introduce his innovative, high-end glass product to the market.
Ruoff started his Warrior Glass business while serving as a Navy SEAL out of the U.S. Embassy in Bali, Indonesia. While there, Ruoff came to admire the custom art glass products produced in the area. With his background in military warfare, he embarked on making reality an idea he had to have the custom art glass pieces designed into replications of military warfare devices and insignia, tapping into the "warrior spirit" and leading to the natural naming of his new business venture, "Warrior Glass." His fellow military members responded enthusiastically and his business grew.
Reassigned to the Naval Special Warfare Unit at Stennis Space Station, he moved to Slidell and quickly decided to add custom glass art pieces featuring a fleur de lis design to his product line in homage to his new affection for the area in which he was now living, adding yet another dimension to the designs available through Warrior Glass.
Each piece is handmade. The process starts with his design concept, which is then sent to the manufacturer for the molds to be carved by hand. Each piece starts as a sheet of custom glass laid carefully atop the molds inside special kilns, where the glass melts into the three-dimensional art piece.
Most often, Ruoff says, his pieces become a centerpiece of a home's "man cave." They were meant originally to be hung on walls or in windows, particularly through the use of wooden frames. However, the glass art can now be made into shadow boxes or glass table tops. His new concept is to use the glass in custom doors so he is currently exploring that idea with local door crafters. The warfare-inspired pieces are often given as retirement gifts to military members, he says. Plus, designs can be made to fit individual customer desires or needs.
When Shaddinger started taking over the long-standing family business of landscape contracting and installing more than 10 years ago, he focused on using plants he knew did well in Louisiana. So when he decided to grow his business about two years ago by becoming an online garden center, he built his reputation on carrying an extensive variety of first-rate flowering plants, trees and bushes that were designated by the LSU AgCenter or Southern Living as particularly good performers in this area's landscapes.
Among the plants he will bring to the Home & Garden Show are Encore Azaleas, which bloom in spring, summer and fall, and come in 29 different varieties. Quite a difference from the azaleas most are used to in this area, he said, adding, "We were used to one size, three colors. That's it. And they bloomed only around Easter.
The innovative nature of Big Head's online business model is an indication of the unique nature of the relationship Shaddinger builds with his clients. "People in my generation buy almost everything on line," Shaddinger, 32, says.Themed "Live Smart. Live Well," the New Orleans Home & Garden Show, the largest consumer home show in the southeastern United States, will be held March 22, noon to 8 p.m.; March 23, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and March 24, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Chief's Counsel
Obesity as a Disability
By John M. (Jack) Collins, General Counsel, Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, Inc.
Traditionally, courts were unwilling to find that obesity by itself is a disability and instead relied on underlying medical conditions caused or exacerbated by obesity to find an ADA-protected disability. Most viewed obesity as merely a voluntary condition caused by a lack of self-control. Some courts around the United States are now starting to find that obesity may be an ADA-protected disability that must be accommodated. This is not surprising, considering the other conditions arguably caused by personal choices (e.g., alcoholism) that are considered disabilities under the ADA. For example, consider the cases below:
Not every recent court case has gone in favor of the obese employee, however. In May 2013, in Andrew O. v. Racing Corporation of West Virginia, a state court in West Virginia ruled in the employer's favor when a morbidly obese blackjack dealer sought accommodations from his employer with respect to his workplace uniform (the standard issue was too small; he needed a 7X tuxedo shirt) and break locations (he was unable to walk to and from the employee break area during his 25-minute break without shortness of breath and fatigue).
However, given the recent amendments to the ADA, through which the EEOC and many federal courts have significantly lowered the bar for proving a disability, it is not recommended to put too much stock in this decision. Rather, employers should err on the side of caution and continue to provide reasonable accommodations to morbidly obese employees, as well as those with other conditions that may arguably fall within the scope of the ADA. It is hoped that this applies more to civilian employees than to police officers, as officers must be capable of physical exertion.
EEOC Position and ADA Amendments
It is entirely likely that the EEOC, which has recognized morbid obesity as a disability, may now further expand its definition.
Two areas of the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) that likely will affect how obesity is treated are the expansions to the definitions of "major life activities" and "substantially limits." "Major life activities" under the ADA Amendments Act include caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working. The term also now includes the "operation of a major bodily function," such as functions of the immune system, normal cell growth, digestive, bowel, bladder, neurological, brain, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive functions.
The final regulations also add sitting, reaching, and interacting with others to the list of major life activities and further define "operation of major bodily function" to include hemic, lymphatic, musculoskeletal, special sense organs and skin, genitourinary, and cardiovascular functions. The regulations emphasize that the list of major life activities is intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive, so other activities may be covered. Further, to be considered a major life activity, the activity does not have to be of "central importance to daily life."
Social Security Obesity Disability Definition
If an officer or other department worker is disabled because of obesity so severe that it prevents such person from working, he or she may well be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits (assuming they are covered or at one time worked under Social Security, of course).
"Regarded as? Claims
Following the enactment of the ADAAA, proving a "regarded as" claim will be much easier for employees who allege discrimination based on their obesity. Although an employee has to show a substantial impairment of a major life activity to show an actual disability, that is not required for post-ADAAA regarded as claims. An individual can be covered under the regarded as prong by establishing that he or she has been subjected to a prohibited action because of an actual or perceived physical or mental impairment, whether or not the impairment limits or is perceived to limit a major life activity.
Although the AMA's action was intended to affect medical treatment for the obese, there's a high probability it will make it easier for an obese employee to argue that he or she is disabled.
What Are Reasonable Accommodations?
If an obese individual is considered disabled under the ADA, not only is it prohibited to discriminate against the individual based on the fact of obesity, but employers also must accommodate the individual so that he or she can perform the essential functions of the job. Obese individuals may have mobility problems such as difficulty walking or standing for extended periods or may have related health issues such as diabetes, heart conditions, and higher incidences of certain cancers, all of which may need accommodation.
The Job Accommodation Network (JAN), a free consulting service of the Office of Disability Employment Policy of the U.S. Department of Labor that provides information and advice to employers on custom job accommodations, gives several examples of possible accommodations for obese employees.6 Accommodations include large-rated ergonomic chairs, seat-belt extenders for vehicles and industrial equipment, and large-rated ladders. For obese individuals who cannot walk long distances, they made need closer parking spaces to the station or desks or offices in more accessible areas of the workspace.
Of course, an employer's duty to accommodate an obese employee is not unlimited. For example, if the employee cannot perform an essential job function and there is no accommodation that allows the individual to perform the job, the essential function does not have to be removed from the employee's job duties. However, employers should be able to show that they have considered all potential accommodations to allow the obese employee to perform this essential function and that the function is essential.
Police departments with accurate job descriptions listing essential job functions for police officers on "light duty" positions will fare better than those without such documents when it comes to refuting claims for discrimination for failure to accommodate. It may be a tougher challenge when it comes to dispatchers or other civilian employees, however.
Certainly chiefs are aware that they can no longer refuse to hire overweight dispatcher applicants because they don't fit the department's para-military image. However, even more subtle matters may expose a city or town to discrimination claims. For example, gone are the days of ignoring an obese employee's request for a larger desk chair or other accommodations. In light of changes in the ADA and recent court decisions, police chiefs should confer with their municipality's labor counsel and human resources or personnel director (if they have one) to anticipate issues and discuss training supervisors to appropriately handle everything from hiring to requests for accommodations.
Furthermore, employers or chiefs do not have to accommodate the employee if they can show that the accommodation causes the organization undue hardship. Note, however, that this standard is fairly difficult to meet since it means significant difficulty or expense in, or resulting from, the provision of the accommodation. The undue hardship standard requires employers to show that the accommodation involves significant difficulty or expense; is unduly extensive, substantial, or disruptive; or would fundamentally alter the nature or operation of the business. Thus, buying a heavy-duty chair for a dispatcher is not likely to qualify.
Until more courts or state anti-discrimination agencies issue decisions, chiefs will not be able to predict with certainty the best way to handle requests for accommodations by obese employees. Although some district courts still appear reluctant to find obesity to be a disability, chiefs should add obesity to the list of characteristics that may not be the basis for any type of discrimination or harassment and should incorporate it into their department's anti-discrimination policies and training. Chiefs should also caution superior officers to avoid jokes or remarks that an employee is "too fat" to do something. Such a statement could be used to show, for example, that an employer regarded an employee as disabled.
Chiefs should take all requests for accommodation from obese individuals seriously, and they should not ignore legitimate requests because of negative stereotypes about the causes of obesity. Further, chiefs should be proactive if an obese employee is having trouble performing his or her job and determine if the problem is related to the employee's obesity.
Chiefs should require medical certification if it is not obvious that the obese individual is impaired. As with all requests for accommodations these days, chiefs and supervisors should engage in an "interactive process" (discussion with the employee) to determine the appropriate accommodation. While not required to agree to their requests, chiefs should ask the employees what types of accommodations they have in mind. The ADA does not require a chief or employer to provide the best accommodation available or the one specifically requested by the disabled individual—an employer only has to provide an effective accommodation that meets the job-related needs of the individual. To this end, chiefs should be prepared to document their decision-making process. In particular, chiefs should be sure they can show that they looked at appropriate accommodations and can explain the rationale for denying any accommodation.
Chiefs should consult with the municipality's human resources, personnel director, or labor attorney before denying accommodation requests or taking disciplinary action against obese employees.
Recall that a department need not waive an essential job function as an accommodation. Some departments are still woefully inadequate when it comes to being able to document whether an obese individual can perform the essential functions of the job with or without an accommodation. Up-to-date and accurate job descriptions will prove very helpful.
Retaliation claims are very often made these days in all kinds of discrimination cases. Not only is the employee protected, but his or her friends and family members are protected from any form of retaliation. As with other forms of harassment, obese persons may make a claim if they are a target of harassment or retaliation. Chiefs should ensure that their municipality offers training for managers that teaches them to be sensitive when dealing with obese employees and makes sure they are not promoting ugly stereotypes about why an employee may be obese or taking action against them because of their appearance. ♦

THE Constitutional Court on Thursday heard a claim from farmers' organisation Agri South Africa (Agri SA) for compensation for alleged expropriation by the state of its mineral rights.
This is widely regarded as a test case to determine if the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act expropriated rights that existed prior to its coming into force in 2004.
Should Agri SA succeed, it could clear the way for huge compensation claims by some former mineral rights holders. When the case was argued in the high court, the government estimated that the claims could reach R90bn.
The act says "mineral and petroleum resources are the common heritage of all the people of South Africa". " The state is the custodian".
Agri SA argued that the act destroyed common law mineral rights and vested similar, though not identical, rights in the state. This amounted to expropriation, said Gerrit Grobler SC, for Agri SA. It said that, under common law, people who owned land also had a "mineral right" to exploit what lay beneath it, and which could be sold.
Sebenza, a company in financial difficulty, owned coal rights on two farms before 2004. It was not authorised to mine, but its right allowed it to stop others from mining. It could sell the right, and did so — to Agri SA. The organisation argued that after the act came into force, it could no longer sell the right, which showed that it had lost it.
Under the new act, Sebenza had an "old order right". This gave it the exclusive right, for a year, to apply to convert it to a "new order right" – either to prospect or to mine.
Companies that converted their rights were compensated for the state's expropriation by obtaining their new order rights. But Sebenza was insolvent and could not afford the conversion, Mr Grobler said.
Justice Zak Yacoob asked Mr Grobler whether the legislation had deprived Sebenza, or its "own tardiness" in not converting its right and its failure to remain solvent.
Counsel for the mineral and energy minister, Cassie Badenhorst SC, said there was no expropriation because this required that the state had to acquire what Sebenza lost.
Under the new act, the state did not acquire mineral rights. "It was not a taking by the state, but a creation of a new regime" — that opened the door for more people to acquire rights to mine.
The Centre for Applied Legal Studies, a friend of the court, argued that the act needed to be understood in the context of the history of discriminatory land ownership and skewed access to mineral rights.

High court denies appeal in smothering case
The Iowa Supreme Court has denied the appeal of an eastern Iowa man who smothered his wife in 2010 during an argument.
Cedar Rapids television station KCRG-TV reports that the state's high court on Friday rejected James Blum's argument that the Iowa Court of Appeals should have found that his trial lawyer was ineffective.
The Iowa Court of Appeal upheld Blum's second-degree murder conviction earlier this year.
Blum told police that he held Patricia Blum's face down against a cushion until she died and should've let her up but didn't because he was so angry. Police say he attacked his wife after she told him she backed a car into their garage door.
Blum is serving a 50-year prison term. He's now 73.

This accountbook just might be the most curious one you've ever seen. On the right side are figures lined up, neatly – figures that get larger and larger with every turn of the page. But the left side of the account book is far more interesting: it's full of bawdy sketches, passages misquoted from the scriptures, and fragments of unformed thoughts. On one page, you see a cartoonish self-portrait of Fyodor, surrounded by his three sons and his servant Smerdyakov. Scribbled across the top of the page is the word, "Casuist" — but it's not clear to whom the word refers. (Note: Casuistry: the application of ethical principles to particular cases of conscience of conduct. In a disparaging sense, "casuist" refers to a disingenuous reasoner, especially in questions of morality. )
In skimming further, you find the following notes: Matthew 7:2 – "For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you." And then: "The Russian peasant should be whipped. I have always maintained that… In our great intelligence, we've stopped flogging our peasants, but they go on whipping themselves. And right they are. For as you measure, so it will be measured, or however it goes… In short it will be measured…" (132-133).
One last glimpse: a sketch of hell. With meat hooks hanging everywhere.
What goes on in this mind? You sense that this account book is packed full of ideas and ironies that are central to understanding Fyodor's character and the fate of the Karamazovs. What does all this gibberish add up to?

I read with interest the review article on restless legs syndrome, which appeared in the February 12, 1996, issue of the Archives.1I have suffered from this benign syndrome for 40 years (when I first developed it as a medical student, always assuming the worst, I thought it was amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and find that it can usually be aborted with 500 or, occasionally, 1000 mg of acetaminophen. I also find that, if not aborted, a headache often develops 1 or 2 hours afterward.

In general, correspondents were either slack-jawed with bewilderment or moved to hilarity by the marriage of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley (PEOPLE, Aug. 15). A hardy few chose to reject easy cynicism and to treat the couple as they would any newlyweds—by wishing them all the best.
I no longer fear death, because it is now obvious that on May 26, the day Lisa Marie Presley married Michael Jackson, hell froze over!
ROD L. GOEMAN, Madison, S. Dak.
If Elvis were dead, he'd be rolling in his grave.
LAURIE O'CONNOR STEPHANS, North Aurora, Ill.
And I thought Julia and Lyle were an odd couple!
HOWARD SHAPIRO, New York City
Before Michael and Lisa Marie have a baby, I hope someone explains to them that plastic surgery is not a genetic trait.
JOANIE KENSIL-BRADSHER, Phoenix
Your story reported that perhaps Priscilla Presley is not overjoyed about this marriage. Well, maybe for the first time she is feeling threatened about the influence and control she has over Lisa Marie and, therefore, the Presley estate.
SUSAN PEDERSON, Clifton, N.J.
I am getting tired of everyone speculating why Michael married Lisa Marie. Why does anyone get married (most of the time)? Both Michael and Lisa Marie have had difficult lives, and I wish them both lots of peace and happiness.
KENNETH LAMANTIA, McHenry, Ill.
What a mean-spirited article. I hope a year from now—for Michael and Lisa Marie's anniversary—you apologize and publicly eat your words. (And I hope you pay big bucks to publish a photo of their child.)
CAROLINE MORTON, New York City
Let's get real—all they want is each other's money and makeup.
J. EDWARDS, Warden, Wash.
You quote Lisa Marie Presley-Jackson about the benefits she has received from Scientology. Unfortunately, a few inaccuracies found their way into the article. Millions of people from all walks of life have applied Scientology to become more able, alert and aware of themselves as spiritual beings. Those in the arts find Scientology enhances their creativity. Scientology provides solutions to the problems people encounter in their daily lives. Because of this, the Church of Scientology has grown to more than 1,500 churches, missions and groups in 105 countries. The way to find out the truth about Scientology for yourself is to read a book or visit one of our churches.
KAREN POUW, Public Affairs Director, Church of Scientology International, Los Angeles
Once again, nature and biology apparently will triumph over nurture and bonding. Why do our courts persist in placing so much emphasis on biology, when there is ample evidence that biology is no guarantee of love or commitment? Baby Richard has a home, love and a family. What do these three words mean to our judicial system?
CARMEN BLANCO, Miami
Your article makes us ask the same question that we asked ourselves during the Baby Jessica custody dispute: Why should innocent children pay for the irresponsible behavior of adults? If Baby Richard's biological father loved his girlfriend so much and wanted a child so badly, why did he leave her six months pregnant without any apparent financial support while he was to be away? Nothing can justify the cruel act of taking a child away from the only parents he knows. These men in black robes must stop tearing families apart.
CARY CHICOLA, Miami
Why not put both sets of parents in a room with Baby Richard and see whom he runs to? Adoptive parents have rights too, as do the children they raise wholeheartedly. Daniella and Otakar Kirchner are nothing more than strangers to Baby Richard. When he's of age, let him contact them if he's interested.
KAREN K. HORN, Philadelphia
It amazes me that in a country where the right to choose is a legal option for women, a doctor who chooses to administer abortions in a safe, clean medical atmosphere has to have armed escorts to do his job. Paul Hill allegedly terminated two human lives, one in the 276th trimester and one in the 296th. When are all these so called prolifers going to quit worrying about unborn life and start worrying about all the abused, unwanted children who already inhabit the world?
JENNIFER BROWN, LaConner, Wash.
I am disgusted with a society that has people labeling themselves as "pro-life" out killing doctors who are just doing their job. As a prolifer myself, I would just like to say that not only is this man a disgrace to all true pro-life activists, but it brings me to rethink my stance on this whole issue. I wonder if secretly that was Paul Hill's intention.
ANNIE CONSTANCE, Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich.
When are the women in this country going to get really angry about men killing abortion doctors? A woman's right to choose has never been a male issue and shouldn't be.
JOYCE SCOTT, Danville, Ark.

Featured Golf News
Lendl Course is Approved
The Planning and Zoning Commission of Goshen, Connecticut approved a zone change that paves the way for a new golf course project headed by former tennis great, Ivan Lendl. Lendl and his partner, David Rosow Sr., now plan to proceed with a Steve Smyers-designed championship-length track on the former Ivy Mountain Farm property. The site was rezoned from agriculture to rural recreation to facilitate the development.
Under the auspices of their company, International Golf Group, Inc., Lendl and Rosow will be submitting a site plan application this summer, the final step before getting construction permits. There are two large buildings and several smaller buildings on the property, which borders an 848-acre section of open space purchased for $2.4 million by the state Department of Environmental Protection in May 1999. Besides the Smyers course, the project includes a practice facility and a clubhouse with a 175-seat restaurant.
The plan presented to and approved by the commission devotes 330 of Ivy Mountain Farms 626 acres to open space. The approval process took a mere 20 minutes. The only objections voiced related to water usage, traffic and the effects of fertilizers on the environment. In its presentation the developers representatives granted a permanent easement to the Goshen Land Trust for a public hiking trail to and from nearby Ivy Mountain State Park.

'A DIFFERENT DIRECTION ORIGINAL' design
Jesus is the original Super Hero!
Scripture says Jesus Christ was tempted in every way as ourselves, yet He resisted even to the point of death. He became the sacrifice for our sins. Amazingly, He would have done it even if you were the only one to turn to Him in gratefulness. That is why we think that is what makes Him SUPER.

PLAINSBORO - A Plainsboro woman was scammed via the telephone into giving an unknown man $1,986 via "Moneypak Cards" purchased from the CVS on Schalks Crossing Road on Dec. 19, according to police.
The unknown man claimed to be affilated with the New Jersey Tax Department. He informed the victim there was an active warrant for her arrest for failing to pay her taxes during the 2010 - 2011 year. He further stated that unless she paid the money by a specific date and time, she would be arrested.
The case is currently under investigation.

COLUMBUS - It wasn't a perfect third quarter. For one thing, it began with Damian Helm's miss on a 3-pointer.
But just about everything else Helm and his Convoy Crestview teammates did in that eight-minute span was a positive.
Owners of a 26-23 lead at halftime, Crestview scored the first 18 points of the second half and there was no stopping them from there.
In a battle of Knights, Crestview had by far the superior armor in the form of an unyielding defense while blowing past Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas 71-44 for the Division IV state championship at Value City Arena Saturday afternoon.
Crestview became the winningest undefeated team in Ohio high school history with a 29-0 mark while sending Aquinas home as an 18-12 runner-up.
"It's awesome when you have Smalltown, USA like we have," Crestview coach Jeremy Best said of the school's second state championship. The other was in 2003.
"Just the tradition of our basketball program through the years, it's really special," he said. "There were a lot of people before us who put a lot of time in this program and we've tried to keep it going. That's what makes it special."
Connor Lautsenheiser hit a couple 3-pointers and Tyson Bolenbaugh hit three inside hoops to spark the offensive portion of the Crestview burst. But it was founded upon defense - Crestview had three steals and Aquinas had seven turnovers in the quarter.
It wasn't until the 2:50 mark that Aquinas advanced when Pete Ruthe hit a jumper in the lane. By that time, Crestview was in command at 44-25.
"That is a pretty unique run," Best said. "You put together an 18-0 run, that's good stuff. We've had runs at different times of the season and we can be explosive.
"Once we starting getting some turnovers and some runouts, that's when it gets pretty good," he said.
While Aquinas was unable to get much going, it wasn't for lack of trying.
"Our hand was kind of forced because we were never really able to take control of the game," Aquinas coach Matt Hackenberg said. "It started with the way they set the tone defensively from the beginning.
"We tried moving them around, we tried spacing, we tried to run sets, we tried ball screens, we tried all the stuff we're capable of and do pretty well," he said. "But we just couldn't break through."
While offense is supposed to be the fun thing, the Crestline players know where their game begins.
"Defense is the main thing coach stresses," point guard Cam Etzler said. "Eventually it allows us to get in transition and for us, transition is probably one of our stronger points."
Helm led the winners with 20 points. Bolenbaugh added 18 points with eight rebounds while Lautzenheiser (six assists) and Preston Zaleski scored 11 and 10, respectively.
Anthony Moeglin led Aquinas with 10 points and five rebounds. Sam Pusateri added nine points and Austin Hill contributed six points and six boards.

'Gladiator' Is Golden
"Gladiator" marched triumphantly out of the 58th annual Golden Globes awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Sunday night. The ancient Roman epic starring Russell Crowe was named best dramatic picture (its only other Globe was for original score), though presenter Elizabeth Taylor nearly announced the movie as the winner without naming the other nominees. As she said on the stage, she's better used to accepting than giving awards. The biggest opposition to "Gladiator" was perceived to be "Traffic" (both had five nominations going into the evening), but that Steven Soderbergh-directed ensemble piece also nabbed only two Globes, for screenplay and for supporting actor Benicio Del Toro. Best comedy picture was "Almost Famous," which picked up another Globe for its supporting actress, Kate Hudson. Tom Hanks ("Cast Away") and George Clooney ("O Brother, Where Art Thou") were named best actors for dramatic and comedy roles, respectively, with Renée Zellweger ("Nurse Betty") and Julia Roberts ("Erin Brockovich") winning in the actress categories. Zellweger, continuing a Globe tradition started by Christine Lahti in 1999, was apparently in the ladies room when presenter Hugh Grant called her name. In TV categories, "The West Wing" tied with "Sex and the City" and won two Globes: best dramatic series and best actor, Martin Sheen. "Sex" was named best comedy series and its star (and executive producer) Sarah Jessica Parker, best actress. Robert Downey Jr.., who faces a court date stemming from a November felony drug bust, was named best supporting actor in a comedy series for "Ally McBeal" -- and said on air that he anticipates winning future Globes.
