Greg Price has carved out a solid reputation over the past decade for putting together some pretty attractive lineups for his popular old-school wrestling reunions and fan gatherings.
But the veteran promoter has really outdone himself with this year's offering.
The 2009 NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend, which will be held Aug. 6-9 at the University Hilton Place Hotel in Charlotte, will feature arguably Price's best assemblage of talent to date.
It also should produce what will likely be the most important moment in Fanfest history when the original version of The Four Horsemen come together for the first time in years - and possibly the last.
That's right. The original Horsemen. The one with Ric Flair and Ole Anderson. That in itself should be worth the price of admission.
It's been years since Flair and Anderson have crossed paths. The two actually were in the same venue at the same time during last year's Fanfest, but were strategically placed in different parts of the building. This year they'll be sitting together at the same table, signing autographs, posing for photos and mixing with fans at the Charlotte event.
While they may have been partners and associates many years ago in the wrestling business, there's been no love lost between the two in recent years. Nor has Anderson been particularly close to some of his other former stablemates.
Price may have achieved his biggest coup yet in getting the group to put aside their differences for at least one afternoon.
"That should be a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure they'll be at opposite ends (of the table)," Price said of Flair and Anderson. "I'm going to make sure I'm there for five hours on Friday afternoon. If we can survive that, we'll be OK."
The two are pros, he added, and he doesn't expect any fireworks.
"It's really not that bad. Twenty-five years ago they probably said the same things about each other that they do now, and they probably felt the same way. But we didn't have the Internet and we weren't listening in on all these radio shows about how they hated each other. I wonder if it's that they changed, or if this is just the way they've always been, and we're just a little more privy to the information now."
The Horsemen reunion almost didn't happen. Price says he worked hard all year putting it together, but in May he discovered that Flair had an overseas booking that would prevent him from making an appearance at the event.
"I got a punch in the gut at the end of May when I found out that I had practically everybody booked ... except Ric. That's when I found out that Ric was going overseas. You really can't do a Horsemen reunion unless you have all of them."
Price says he had to quickly regroup and refocus at that point. Several weeks ago, however, Flair's booking was canceled, and the promoter found himself back in business.
The only downside, says Price, was that it has given him little time to promote the Horsemen reunion. Still, he says, it should easily put the event over the top.
"I would have loved to have been able to advertise that The Horsemen were going to be here back in May, but somebody just didn't want it to happen that way."
"As quickly as it was taken away from us, it all worked out in the end," he adds. "It was put right back in my lap, and I'm just thankful for the opportunity to have it in Horsemen country here in Charlotte. But I guess Horsemen country really just isn't in Charlotte. It's everywhere."
Needless to say, reaction to the reunion has been overwhelming, and Price expects additional fans to turn out just to see the famous group reunited.
"Certainly it's gotten a lot of attention. We're going to get some new folks because of that. And it's going to be a great bonus for the folks who already were planning to be here."
Along with Flair and Ole will be former stablemates Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. The four will be joined by their manager, James J. Dillon, and Barry Windham, who replaced Lex Luger and became a member of the group's third incarnation, the unit many considered to be the most talented.
Anderson, now 66, says his departure from the legendary group couldn't have come soon enough.
"They told me I was going to make a pot full of money," Anderson says of his Horsemen stint. "They told us they were going to sell pictures, shirts, trunks, boots. They said they were going to sell anything they had connected to me as a wrestler, and that I would make all kinds of money."
Anderson can only laugh when comparing the Horsemen's take to the competition in the north.
"Hulk Hogan up in New York sold something like $110,000 or $120,000 each quarter. The Iron Shiek sold something like $90,000 each quarter. Well ... four times 90 is $360,000."
Anderson (Al "Rock" Rogowski) recalls Arn Anderson (Marty Lunde) sitting across from him when they received their first merchandising check.
How much was it?
"Less than 40 bucks. Not 40 bucks ... less than 40 bucks," says Anderson, left with a bitter taste in his mouth years later.
A disgruntled Anderson says he left NWA promoter Jim Crockett with some less-than-complimentary remarks before quitting. He was replaced in the group by Lex Luger.
A number of versions of The Horsemen would surface in later years.
"The Horsemen are special. There's no other way to describe it. But there are so many other things," says Price.
As big as the Horsemen reunion is, Flair says he's particularly looking forward to a "25 Years After Starrcade" question-and-answer session with another former NWA world champion, Harley Race. The two will relive the magic of their famous Thanksgiving 1983 clash in Greensboro, N.C., where the Nature Boy defeated Race to begin his second reign as world titleholder.
Fanfest VIPs will get the opportunity to join the 16-time world champ and the eight-time NWA champ on stage for a photo opportunity with the legendary 10 pounds of gold. The authentic NWA belt they fought for, by the way, is the subject of a great new book by Dick Bourne and Dave Millican called "Ten Pounds of Gold." The soft-cover edition will be available at Fanfest exclusively at the Highspots.com booth.
"Twenty-five years ... the biggest match in my lifetime as a wrestling fan," says Price. "I really don't consider anything that's happened since then that stands out more to me than that match. That show, that match specifically, is a classic. For these two guys to come back 25 years later and sit down in a ballroom in front of 500 wrestling fans from all over the world and tell them what they were thinking about and what was going on leading up to the match ... Everything that people have wanted to ask them.
"Did Harley Race really have that meeting with Vince? Did you really want to sabotage the show? How much did he really offer you?"
Race would later claim that Vince McMahon offered him hundreds of thousands of dollars, just 24 hours before the match, to no-show and jump ship with the NWA title.
Another late-night Q&A session will feature the always entertaining Jim Cornette regaling fans with "A Conversation With Cornette."
Price said last week that the addition of a Saturday Q&A roundtable featuring longtime announcers Lance Russell and Dave Brown, along with former Tennessee wrestling star and promoter Jerry Jarrett, should add a distinct "Memphis feel" to the festivities.
"This'll be the first of these that Dave's been involved in. Lance is very rare," says Price.
One of the annual highlights of the weekend is the Hall of Heroes Dinner Banquet and Awards Ceremony. This year's event, hosted by Cornette, will be held on Saturday evening and will honor eight "heroes" from wrestling's past. The new inductees include The Fabulous Fargos, Playboy Gary Hart, Wahoo McDaniel, Nelson Royal, Blackjack Mulligan and Lance Russell. Hart, McDaniel, Royal and Sonny Fargo will be inducted posthumously.
Other luminaries scheduled to be on hand include Cowboy Bill Watts, Paul Jones, Magnum T.A., Angelo Mosca and Angelo Mosca Jr., Sir Oliver Humperdink, Mark Lewin, Billy Robinson, Abdullah The Butcher, The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers), Bugsy McGraw, Bob Caudle, Chris Cruise, Rich Landrum, Jimmy Hart, Stu Schwartz, Bobbie Watson, Baby Doll, Judy Martin, Susan Green and Rock Riddle. Each featured legend will have a specific time for photo-ops and autographs.
More than 60 vendor guests will complement the star-studded lineup. The list includes Danny Hodge, Dusty Rhodes, Rick and Scott Steiner, Lex Luger, Dennis Condrey, Bobby Eaton, Jimmy Valiant, Ivan Koloff, Kevin Sullivan, Austin Idol, Diamond Dallas Page, The Nasty Boys, Vader, Tommy Rich, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, Debra, Jeff Jarrett, Steve Keirn, Stan Hansen, Cowboy Bob Orton, Bob Backlund, Mr. Fuji, Howard Finkel.
Also: Ox Baker, The Wild Samoans (Afa and Sika), The Killer Bees (B. Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell), Meng, The Barbarian, Bob Roop, B.G. James, Kip James, Too Cold Scorpio, Slick, Elijah Burke, Black Bart, Doug Somers, Brian Adias, Rocky King, Molly Holly, Lacey Von Erich, Daffney, Italian Stallion, Lanny Poffo, Chick Donovan, Craig Pittman and Mike Jackson.
Price says some of the talent has never been to Charlotte or done any kind of public signings in the past.
One of the prize catches this year was Maniac Mark Lewin. Lewin, a top star during a career that spanned from the late '50s until the late '80s, disappeared from the wrestling scene shortly after leaving the business. But he'll make a very rare appearance for Price at Fanfest.
"Mark Lewin is definitely one I'm looking forward to having here," says Price, adding that he's equally excited about Billy Robinson's debut appearance.
Robinson, a Hall of Famer and product of the fabled Snake Pit training school in England, was considered one of the top submission wrestlers in the world.
Fanfest has drawn fans from most of the 50 states and as far away as Canada, Great Britain, Australia and Japan. A number of fans, says Price, plan their vacation around the event.
It's three days and four nights of wrestling and the wrestlers you grew up with in personal situation, he adds, where you have a chance to chit-chat and get autographs and get your picture taken with the stars you grew up with watching on TV.
"The fans and the folks buying the tickets are the reason we're able to keep doing stuff like this. They're the backbone," says Price.
Wrestling has been a lifelong obsession for the 45-year-old promoter. He came up with the idea of doing such an event after attending similar fan conventions and memorabilia shows.
"A wrestling promoter is basically looking for two things. You want something that people are going to enjoy and be part of ... something they're going to come out and support and something they're going to buy tickets to. The second thing is that you want people to leave the event and go home happy and pleased and thinking that they got everything that they paid for plus just a little bit more. If I can achieve that, then I'm happy. Ideally you sell enough tickets so that everybody's happy - including me."
Price anticipates his biggest turnout yet.
"I can't think of a single person I deal with who the economy hasn't affected in some way. Wrestling fans are no different. Some even more so. You talk to people who have lost their jobs or they're working two or three jobs. That all comes into play. People are watching their dollars. That's definitely affected us. But I know there are some people out there who know what The Horsemen mean. This isn't going to happen again. They're going to scrape and save and do whatever they can do because they realize this has been a long time coming. It's very likely that this won't ever happen again. Aside from that, everybody has money issues, but hopefully it won't put a damper on things."
Price says there's a little of everything for fans throughout the weekend, and that he'll be one of the biggest fans there.
"If it wasn't so much work, I'd be like a kid in a candy store," says Price, who logs hundreds of hours in preparing for an event of such magnitude.
For some of the wrestlers, it's a chance to make a payday, but moreover a chance to relive their glory days in the ring, see old friends and reconnect with longtime fans.
Even for Price, it's hard to explain what the weekend's like.
"I know it's a cliche, but we really do have a bunch of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for folks. We could keep doing this for years and years, and never have the opportunity to be able to do some of these things again."
And how will Price top this year's event?
"I haven't even thought about that question yet. I did have that very same question last year. I didn't have a clue at that point. Then The Horsemen came to me. I don't know what we do next year, but I'm sure something will come around."

- Ric Flair took some more verbal jabs at Bret Hart during a Live Audio Wrestling show last weekend while promoting a Ring of Honor appearance in Toronto.
"He lives in his own little world," Flair said.
"He's a ----ant in the history of wrestling. I'm offended when people even begin to compare my career," Flair added. "Even Shawn (Michaels), Hunter (Triple H) are all offended. Who would compare Bret Hart's career to mine?"
Flair said later in the week that he's getting tired of being asked how tough Hart was.
"He never wrestled (Bruiser) Brody, he never wrestled (Stan) Hansen, he never wrestled Harley Race, he never wrestled in St. Louis. I don't think much of him at all. He was a mid-card performer until he was 40 years old."

Hello my friends. Even tax day can't stop the Year of the Gamer! Here we roll on…..
Apr 15: Hare and Tortoise (Board Game) A German style 1974 board game. Sold over 2 million copies. Based on the Aesop fable of the same name. Considered innovated at the time, because it is a race game with cards determining movement, not dice. You spend carrot cards and have to try and earn more as the game goes on. Never played but sounds kind of fun.
Apr 16: 221B Baker Street: The Master Detective Game A couple years ago it might have been a little tougher to find someone who could tell you who lives at the 221B address. Thanks to the Sherlock Holmes movies though, the average person knows. All players get clues to a case while they travel the board. Your goal is to solve the case first. Like Clue, you better be sure before you look at the answer. Cause you will be out. I have to say, I don't really care for games like this. Once you solve the case, you can't really play it again. Unless you get amnesia I guess. Replayability is limited unless you keep buying expansions. And eventually you run out.
Apr 17: Scattergories (Party Game) Fun word game. Played in 3 rounds. Players have a different random letter each round. And all words (no matter what category) must start with that letter. For example, category is Zoo Animals and the letter is M. So monkey would be acceptable. But not Mouse. At the same time you need to be careful because if you match answers with another player you get no points. Fun and a lot of replayability because of the random letter every round.
Apr 18: Monsters Menace America (Board Game) Originally a 1988 Avalon Hill game called Monsters Ravage America it was redone when Wizards of the Coast bought Avalon Hill. Think the video game Rampage as a board game. Players play B picture movie monsters. You trash America with them, and then send your troops you control to try and defeat other monsters. Last monster standing wins.
Apr 19: Batman (NES) The 1989 movie spawned this game. A sidescroller, the player had to navigate 5 levels then defeat the Joker. The ability to grab on walls reminds me of some popular ninja games. Game is very hard actually, but still got critical acclaim. Visually the game is impressive for the NES. A lot of the art was inspired by the excellent Alan Moore graphic novel The Killing Joke.
Apr 20: Batman Returns (SNES) I heart this great game. Think Final Fight. Side scrolling beat um up. The music alone helped the game out so much as Danny Elfman did the score for the game! How much does that rock? Last good Batman Game till Arkham Asylum 16 years later! A classic of awesomeness!
Apr 21: Batman Forever (SNES) Another beat em up. This one was pretty annoying though. The graphics were artsy looking but not cool. And the controls were so awkward! I spent more time mashing buttons trying to get a certain affect then I did playing the game! Piece of garbage. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
So there we have it. The last Year of the Gamer post…..till next Friday anyway. 🙂 Happy gaming!

After installing NW6SP5 (Servicepack 5 for Netware 6) Backup hangs while starting
with BESTART. When reaching the system ananlysis of bestart the bkupexec-Screen
freezes and the server goes into a spawn state (giving the prompt server
<1>: instead of the normal server: and reporting a "critical error").
Backup Exec is intalled only on the Netware server, also the administration
console. No Windows parts are installed.
Since the build is 1158.9 the NLRTLI-Problem can not be the cause. I also
tried to update the BackupExec-Java-Modules; with no better result.
What else could help? Is Backup Exec 9.1 probably not capable of Netware
6 SP5? Should is be 9.2?
For help I thank you in advance.

Best Uses
this is the greatest tool for doing balloons. yes, the clips can be used without the tool, but so much easier and faster to get the clips and the tool. I have one that i've used at work, bought this one for family party. It makes inflating balloons fast and easy. Inflate, add ribbon, click. done. nothing easier.
Service and delivery comments:
quick delivery.
Best Uses
This product sounds like a good idea, but unfortunatly did not work very well. The little plastic tabs kept getting jammed and it was difficult to pull out of the crimper.
Best Uses
Whoever came up with this idea, I salute them. Sure does save your fingers when you have lots of balloons to inflate
Best Uses
We inflated hundreds of balloons for a 4 day event. Used the ultra high float so that we wouldn't have to re inflate hundreds of balloons. Although the quick clip gadget was quick and easy and saved lots of tying on tired hands, I'm not so sure the clips sealed the balloons as good as needed. We had to replace QUITE a few balloons the next day that had lost some air, due to lack of complete seal. Even twisted the neck of the balloon before we clipped it as directions said. Will continue to use and see if we can tweak our approach.
Best Uses
Makes sealing large amounts of latex balloons very easy and efficient.
Best Uses
Sealing 400 balloons just became quick and easy. No more sore fingers from knotting balloons.

Q:Does the balloon quickie clipper work with mylar balloons too?
1 answer
A:The mylar balloons seal together so you wouldn't need quickie clippers for those.
Q:I'm not sure what this product does. Does it seal the balloons better than the clips? How many balloons does it seal?
2 answers
A:It seals the balloon without having to tie them. The clipper is sold separately from the clips. The clips items number is: BLTQCP and contains 100 clips. The clipper item number is: BLTQCR
A:There are 75 clips per bag of quick clips, which is a separate purchase from the quickie clipper. The clips are designed to use with the clipper. Works neat and is quick, but still might have issues with leakage.

Basically, industry heavyweights recognize their own vulnerability in the natural, organic, non-GMO space. And they dont like it. So they are eliminating the competition by either swallowing smaller companies or increasing the price smaller companies must pay just to stay in the game.
For look at what it actually is that they're saying. In those places where people are free to open up fast food joints the citizenry appear to like, enjoy even, consuming the produce of those joints. Assume that all of their calculations are indeed correct and that both this is true and also that this leads to lardbucketry. Excellent, since the aim of this whole economics thing is to maximise the possibly utility of the populace then we seem to have found a method of doing so. That is, maximise economic freedom and then let people do as they please.
Which is, of course, what is being done. That people use this freedom in a manner that certain prodnoses don't approve of makes no matter. For the utility we're trying to maximise is that of the populace not the prodnoses.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -– Facing elimination tonight, the Columbus Blue Jackets are in a familiar mind frame: rebound mode.
Since their eight-game winning streak in January, the Blue Jackets have displayed resilience in getting to the playoffs, and throughout their first-round series against Pittsburgh. This time, however, there is more at stake. They'll need to rebound again to extend the best-of-seven series, so there was a hint of desperation in the Blue Jackets' locker room Monday morning.
Pittsburgh leads, 3-2, heading into Game 6 at 7 p.m. in Nationwide Arena.
"There will be desperation from the start. We'll be desperate. We have to win the game. That's all there is,'' said defenseman Jack Johnson. "It's human nature. Whenever you're fighting for your life, you're probably a little more desperate than the other guys.''
Columbus won games 2 and 4. If it wins tonight, Game 7 is Wednesday in Pittsburgh.
"We know what we're up against,'' defenseman Ryan Murray said. "We know what the penalty is for losing. No one wants their season to end here today. It's such a great group of guys in this locker room, and we've come so far since the beginning of the year, it would really be a shame to lose out now.''
Johnson said desperation doesn't indicate a lack of confidence.
"We've been winning games in this series, we've been playing well and we've been outplaying them at times,'' he said. "There's no reason why we shouldn't be confident.''
In the playoffs for the first time since 2009, Columbus has a young roster and not a large amount of collective playoff experience. The Blue Jackets say the source of their confident resilience comes from a combination of youth and a lack of star-power.
"A big thing is we don't have one or two superstars we rely on,'' wing Matt Calvert said. "We score by committee. We push each other. It's an inner-competitiveness. Obviously, Joey (Ryan Johansen) is our leading scorer, and it's nice when other guys contribute and take the pressure off him. We're a balanced team.''
Johansen (two goals, four assists) and center Brandon Dubinsky (one goal, five assists) lead Columbus. Johnson and Boone Jenner both have three goals and two assists.
"We have a lot of guys with a good head on their shoulders. We don't get too high and we don't get too low. We always have the big picture in mind,'' Johnson said.
With Pittsburgh stretching down the hall, Calvert said after the morning skate he was ready to play then.
"It's exciting. We've got a lot of fight in us,'' he said.
Pittsburgh also has shown its share of resilience In splitting the first four games, the losing team blew two- or three-goal leads. Columbus scored the first Game 5 goal in Pittsburgh, but could not muster another goal in a 3-1 loss.
"We'd like to lead the whole game. We don't want to be behind at all,'' Johnson said. "We're going to throw everything we have at them.''
Jenner consistent: Jenner is the only player in the series with a point in every game, a surprising stat considering the star-power on Pittsburgh. His 29 points in the regular season ranked 10th on the team.
"That's pretty good, I guess,'' he said.
Lineup shuffle: Columbus third-line wing R.J. Umberger is out with a shoulder injury. Blake Comeau replaces him on the line with left wing Nick Foligno and center Artem Anisimov.
Coach Todd Richards slipped when mentioning the injury saying it was Umberger's shoulder. Coaches normally are tight-lipped about injuries in the playoffs.
"Sorry,'' he said to a room full of laughter. "He's not feeling too great.''
Umberger has one assist, and his blocked shot in Game 4 led to the winning goal.
On defense, Nikita Nikitin is out with an undisclosed injury on the second line. Nick Schultz will pair with James Wisniewski. Jack Johnson goes back to the first line with Fedor Tyutin. Ryan Murray and David Savard are the third line.
Crosby-Malkin pairing: Pittsburgh skated star centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin together for numerous shifts in Game 5, and Columbus is anticipating more of that tonight. The Blue Jackets sounded as if they preferred that lineup.
"It makes you focus on one line in particular. When they are split up, you've got two lines you really have to keep an eye on,'' Johnson said. "They are dangerous together, but it's one line you can really hone in on, and make the other guys beat you.
"Unfortunately, the other guys have been beating us when they have won. We need that to change.''
Neither Crosby nor Malkin has scored in the series, but the duo has nine assists.
"That's pretty cool (when they are together),'' wing Cam Atkinson said. "The fact that Duby (center Brandon Dubinsky) chooses to go against Crosby, that's leadership, and I'm happy to be a part of it.''
Jussi Jokinen's three goals leads Pittsburgh. Chris Kunitz, Brandon Sutter, Matt Niskanen and Brian Gibbons each have two goals. Defenseman Paul Martin is the top point man with eight assists.
Atkinson scores with fans: Fans lined up Sunday for the few remaining tickets to go on sale Monday morning, and with rain in the forecast, many brought tents. While out to dinner near Nationwide Arena on Sunday, Atkinson stopped over to say thank you and wound up buying tickets for the first 10 people in line.
"It was a pretty cool moment,'' he said. "I was just going to show up and say thank you and sign a couple hockey sticks. I had no idea how many people were actually out there. My girlfriend said there were two tents, and I thought maybe it was just two people. But sure enough, it looked like a whole community there – 10 people, a barbeque, a dog – it seemed like they were having a great time. It seemed like the right thing to do, and I'm happy that I did it for them.''

Northwest Ohio was part of the western front when this young country declared war on Great Britain June 18, 1812.
The western theater - which included the present states of Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and the province of Ontario, Canada - was the location for the first major land campaigns during the war, some of the earliest land battles and one of the largest amphibious landings up to that time.
In the early part of the war, American maneuvers led to early American defeats, but as time wore on, the United States began to defeat the British.

In the early part of the war, British forces operating mainly out of Fort Malden and Fort St. Joseph in Ontario defeated American forces several times. In the first three months, the U.S. lost Fort Mackinac at Mackinac Island in what now is northern Michigan and Fort Dearborn in Chicago.
Fort Detroit also was surrendered, and Fort Wayne in the Indiana Territory was left as the only fort under American control.
In the early part of 1813, American defeats continued at the Battle of the River Raisin (now Monroe, Mich.) in January, where Gen. William Henry Harrison lost about a third of his troops.
However, American forces led by Harrison began building Fort Meigs (Perrysburg) in February 1813 on the banks of the Maumee River under the direction of Capt. Eleazer Wood, a West Point engineer and the namesake for Wood County. The fort enclosed 10 acres with seven two-story blockhouses and other elaborate measures. It withstood two sieges in May and August 1813 by British forces and their Indian allies.
After the second siege, the British attacked Fort Stephenson (Fremont) in August 1813 and were defeated.
Fort Stephenson was a stockade with three blockhouses under the command of George Croghan on the west side of the Sandusky River. Only one small cannon, "Old Betsy," was used, and it was moved from blockhouse to blockhouse to save the fort.
Croghan was acting against Harrison's orders to vacate the fort.
But after that victory, the fledgling American navy won the Battle of Lake Erie in September 1813, led by Gen. Oliver Hazard Perry who announced victory with the now-famous words, "We have met the enemy and they are ours."
The loss of Lake Erie caused the British to retreat further east into the northern part of Ontario and the American army pursued them, defeating the British again at the Battle of the Thames (Chatham, Ontario) in October 1813.
The death of Shawnee war chief Tecumseh in this battle led to the break-up of the Indian Confederacy that
had been allied with the British.
After those victories, the western theater was quiet, but war continued in the eastern and southern
parts of the United States during 1814 and early 1815.
During the years of the war, the Sandusky River and land along its banks played a large part in keeping troops supplied. Several forts were built to provide stops for troops and places to store supplies.
On his website, History Notebook (online at www.historynotebook.com), local historian Stephen Hartzell provides the history of Fort Ball in relationship to other events taking place during the war.
To alleviate the problem of supplying troops in the unsettled area of northwest Ohio, he said Quartermaster General Colonel Morrison led a large undertaking to cut two trails through the thick wilderness.
Morrison Road went from Delaware to Sandusky City, and Harrison Trail from Franklinton to the upper Sandusky and then along the Sandusky River to Fort Stephenson at lower Sandusky.
Cutting roads through the swamp was a tedious process and most of the teams of horses and oxen were destroyed.
A quote from Hartzell's research, from a Nov. 15, 1812, communication between Harrison and the secretary of war, explains the situation:
"The great defect is in the means of transportation. Almost all of the fine teams which were brought from Kentucky have been worn down and discharged and the greater part of the pack horses are in the same situation. The roads have become almost impassable for wagons, foreseeing this I early turned my attention towards the providing of water transportation. Some thing considerable has been done in this way but by no means
equal to my expectations and the orders I had given.
"You can scarcely form an idea, sir, of the difficulty with which land transportation is effected north of the fortieth degree of latitude in this country. The country beyond that is almost a continued swamp to the lakes."
Hartzell's research showed block houses were built at the upper Sandusky, and that stockade later was named Fort Ferree. Fort Stephenson was built and Fort Seneca and Fort Ball were built between them.
"In mid July, 1813, General Harrison was in the process of fortifying and securing the area along the Sandusky River, which was increasingly recognized for its importance as a supply route for the troops in the thick wilderness of Northwest Ohio, as well as those along Lake Erie," Hartzell said. "Col. James V. Ball was in command of the 2nd Light Dragoons. His regiment was detached to an area south of Fort Seneca along the old army road (Harrison Trail) on the Sandusky River to build a fort. This fort would be used as a place of security in case of retreat, and as a depository for supplies. When completed, the fort was named for Col. Ball."
From his research, Hartzell wrote:
"The fort had three block houses which faced the Sandusky River, one on each corner and one in the middle. The remainder of the fortress was enclosed by pickets, which were about 12 inches in diameter, and driven straight into the ground. Old bayonets were driven in horizontally at the top, steadying the adjacent logs. Soil was piled around its exterior to solidify the entire structure, forming a ditch all the way around. Within the fort's limits was a large spring of clear water, and the stockade's expanse would hold about 500 men."
Hartzell provides more history of Fort Ball on the website, but one item that provided a boost to the soldiers stationed there came after victory at the Battle of Lake Erie.
He quoted an article in Harper's magazine from August 1863.
"It was four o'clock in the afternoon when the flag of the Detroit was struck. When Perry's eye perceived, at a glance, that victory was sure, he wrote in pencil on the back of an old letter, resting it upon his navy cap, that remarkable dispatch to General Harrison whose first clause has been so often quoted:
'We have met the enemy and they are ours: Two ships, two brigs, one schooner, and one sloop.
Yours with great respect and esteem, O. H. PERRY.'
"Later in the same article, General Harrison receives the glorious news:
'Pressing forward with his staff, he heard, at Fort Ball (now Tiffin, Ohio), of Perry's victory. Thrilled with joy, he sent couriers to his commanders with orders for them to hasten forward. Hope and promise every where prevailed. Energy marked every movement; and on the 16th of September, the whole army of the Northwest, excepting the troops at Fort Meigs and minor posts, were on the borders of Erie, camped on the pleasant peninsula between Sandusky Bay and the lake below the mouth of the Portage River, now Port Clinton."

Kamehameha Maui 21, Maui High 14, final
September 30, 2012 - Robert Collias
(UPDATE 12:28 a.m.): Kamehameha Maui wins the second-round opener 21-14 over Maui High after holding on for dear life in the second half Saturday night at Kanaiaupuni Stadium.
No matter how they got there, the Warriors (2-3 MIL) are 1-0 in the second round, tied with Lahainaluna.
"That's beautiful, that's why I love rounds," Kamehameha coach Kevin O'Brien said after reminding me these two have played some barnburners in the last two seasons (read the link above).
Kamehameha quarterback Kalai Yap, the MIL's leading rusher with 351 yards and the player responsible for 78 percent of the Warriors' offensive production this season, missed the game because he has not been cleared to play following a concussion suffered in their 62-18 loss to Baldwin two weeks ago.
Yap was in his jersey and sweatpants, helping the offense practice on the field before the game and holding up play signs during it, but he told me as I passed the team entering the stadium that he has not passed his concussion test.
This was a rematch of the Sabers' 10-7 win on Aug. 24 when they drove the length of the field in a no-huddle offense and scored the game-winner with 18 seconds left.
Meanwhile, Lahainaluna continues to dominate the MIL like no one has in recent memory after the Lunas' 42-0 win Friday night at King Kekaulike Stadium.

Logavina Streetby Barbara Demick
Logavina Street was a microcosm of Sarajevo, a six-block-long history lesson. For four centuries, it existed as a quiet residential area in a charming city long known for its ethnic and religious tolerance. On this street of 240 families, Muslims and Christians, Serbs and Croats lived easily together, unified by their common identity as Sarajevans. Then the war tore it all apart. As she did in her groundbreaking work about North Korea, Nothing to Envy, award-winning journalist Barbara Demick tells the story of the Bosnian War and the brutal and devastating three-and-a-half-year siege of Sarajevo through the lives of ordinary citizens, who struggle with hunger, poverty, sniper fire, and shellings. Logavina Street paints this misunderstood war and its effects in vivid strokes--at once epic and intimate--revealing the heroism, sorrow, resilience, and uncommon faith of its people. With a new Introduction, final chapter, and Epilogue by the author
Nothing to Envyby Barbara Demick
A National Book Award finalist and National Book Critics Circle finalist, Barbara Demick's Nothing to Envy is a remarkable view into North Korea, as seen through the lives of six ordinary citizens Nothing to Envy follows the lives of six North Koreans over fifteen years--a chaotic period that saw the death of Kim Il-sung, the unchallenged rise to power of his son Kim Jong-il, and the devastation of a far-ranging famine that killed one-fifth of the population. Taking us into a landscape most of us have never before seen, award-winning journalist Barbara Demick brings to life what it means to be living under the most repressive totalitarian regime today--an Orwellian world that is by choice not connected to the Internet, in which radio and television dials are welded to the one government station, and where displays of affection are punished; a police state where informants are rewarded and where an offhand remark can send a person to the gulag for life. Demick takes us deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government censors. Through meticulous and sensitive reporting, we see her six subjects--average North Korean citizens--fall in love, raise families, nurture ambitions, and struggle for survival. One by one, we experience the moments when they realize that their government has betrayed them. Nothing to Envy is a groundbreaking addition to the literature of totalitarianism and an eye-opening look at a closed world that is of increasing global importance.From the Hardcover edition.

CONCEPCION, Chile — The officers came with bullhorns to impoverished neighborhoods near the epicenter of Chile's devastating earthquake, warning looters to return what they stole or face police raids.
And so they did, depositing everything from mattresses to refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. It took 35 truckloads to recover it all. Together with looted merchandise recovered by police, the material is worth nearly $2 million, officers said.
Touring a police gymnasium full of the recovered goods on Sunday, President Michelle Bachelet called the looting one of "the other aftershocks of this tragic earthquake," and vowed that those responsible would feel the full weight of the law: prison terms of two to five years.
"These are items that have nothing to do with survival — they reflect the moral damage of the people, some of whom came just to find things they could make money from," she said, adding that the government also will prosecute anyone responsible for price speculation in the disaster area.
Thousands of quake survivors participated in the looting, which began only hours after the devastating earthquake and grew to include grandmothers and small children. Outnumbered police only could stand and watch, urging people to take only the food they needed, until soldiers arrived and restored order.
The looting hampered rescue and recovery efforts by distracting firefighters and police and deeply wounded the national pride of Chileans who yearn to be considered part of the first world.
"The damage it caused (to Chile's international image) is lamentable. Now they'll throw all of us in the same bag," said Juan Lagos Rosales, a construction worker forced to sleep in a tent with his wife and infant daughter outside their fallen house.
Some excuse the looting as a natural result of the yawning wealth gap in Chile, where the poor are exposed to expensive consumer goods without any ability to buy them. The top 20 percent of wage earners make an average of $3,200 a month, compared to $340 a month for the bottom 20 percent, according to the national statistics institute.
When the earthquake shattered store windows, the temptation was too great, said father Luis Figueroa Vinet, a deacon at Concepcion's main cathedral. "The pig isn't guilty for what poverty brings," he said, invoking a colorful Chilean adage about inequality.
But a poll Sunday suggests 85 percent of Chileans want the looters prosecuted — a view shared by city worker Aran Fuentes, who said the looting let all Chileans down: "After all that we've done for other countries, to present ourselves to the rest of the world as looters really hurts."

What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? Review
Badman isn't bad, it's just unnecessarily difficult, too complex and seemingly has a mind of its own.
The last time I had to seriously think about ecosystems, and I mean seriously think about them, I was popping a spot during third period biology class. Now, a depressing 12 years later, I'm doing it again (without the spot popping).
In the horribly-named Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This?, a GCSE level understanding of soil nutrition and food chain pyramids doesn't just help, it's required. It's hard, rock hard, not because it requires quick reflexes or God-like hand eye coordination, but because it feels like reading a textbook about your back garden and then taking a test.
You'd never know it, though, going by the retro art style and the bonkers, 8-bit JRPG-referencing premise. You are the God of Destruction. Sounds cool, right? Sure. Shame that what this actually means is that you're a disembodied pickaxe. Really. Badman, an Overlord, has woken you up to help defend his kingdom from pesky invading heroes, exactly the kind you remember equipping in old Japanese role-playing games. Badman wants you to dig forth a dungeon, generating servant monsters out of the soil of the Netherworld, so that when the heroes turn up they eat dirt. Or, to be more accurate, the dirt eats them.
At first glance Badman looks like a fun, typically Nippon Ichi-styled Tower Defence game. With the pickaxe you need to dig square blocks out of the soil, releasing newborn monsters that walk back and forth through the tunnels you've created. Then, you place Overlord Badman in the safest spot possible and await the human adventurers' entry into the dungeon. Each hero has a set number of hit points and a range of JRPG special abilities - sword slicing attacks, axe cleaving, spell casting, healing, that sort of thing. With any luck, your monster army will be powerful enough to kill the heroes before they reach the Overlord (resulting in a stage clear). If not, they'll grab him and leg it out (Game Over!).
You quickly realise, however, that Badman is more of a real-time strategy sim than a Tower Defence game, more SimCity than PixelJunk Monsters. There's so much going on, so much to consider, so many mechanics that need to be fully understood before success becomes more than just blind luck, that Badman is possibly the most overwhelming, complicated PSP game yet.
For example, you need to understand soil. A block of soil has four levels: At level zero it contains no nutrients. At level one it contains basic nutrients that, when dug, will spawn a Slimemoss - an obvious nod to the Slimes from Dragon Quest. Slimemosses slime their way through the tunnels of your dungeon, distributing nutrients to other blocks of soil. Distribute enough nutrients into a block of soil and it'll change colour, upgrading to level two, and finally level three.
The point? Upgraded soil, when dug, spawns better monsters like Omnoms (skeletal demon bugs), Lizardmen and even dragons. Spawning high end monsters is essential from as early as stage three, because they're better in a scrap and you'll be up against multiple heroes who have loads of hit points. Good quality monsters also reproduce, increasing the strength of your army further.
That's not even the half of it. There's a complex food chain that needs to be carefully managed so that all your monsters don't die of starvation. There are producer units, like Slimemosses, and two levels of consumers that feed on them. You need to carefully balance the number of different types of monsters you have on the go so that everyone's well fed. Have plenty of Slimemosses, and Omnoms and Lizardmen will stuff their faces, increasing their vitality. Have too many Omnoms in relation to Slimemosses, and the Omnoms will starve and die, and, consequently, so will Lizardmen.

2 face charges after knife incident in Union City
UNION CITY -- Two men face charges after an incident Saturday in which police said one of the men stabbed himself.
State police at Corry said a 24-year-old man stabbed himself three times in the abdomen. He was taken to Corry Memorial Hospital for treatment and then transported to Erie County Prison, police said.
Police said the man, whose name wasn't released, had been involved in a domestic argument with a 20-year-old woman. When she tried to leave in a car with a 25-year-old man, the first man got a knife and threatened to kill them all, police said.
The second man retrieved a gun from his vehicle and the younger man stabbed himself, police said.
Both men were taken into custody by police, who said the 25-year-old also was transported to Erie County Prison. His name wasn't released by police either.
The incident happened Saturday around 2:30 p.m. in the parking lot of a Union City apartment building, police said.

way, way over done.................time is ticking.
I would suggest checking back in on omx. Looking at the quarterly chart, the new quarter we are starting in April should produce some nice gains. But that is based solely on chart analysis and not fundamentals.
we are on the same side. I had a long position, and tried out a short at the very same time (experiment). Cause OMX was teetering on the fence....just told myself Id sell the short w/ the long, but of course I didnt do what I said I shoudl. and got stuck w/ the short and no long (Ouch), but then it worked out in a day or so.
Good luck to you. Regardless of the difference of opinion, glad you made some money.
nope. it very well could.....Im out though...good quick short trade.still dumb trade on my part, just lucky.....still think buy mid to low $5's, and $6. sell.kinda like F, in the $12's.........
Scott you are a full of it !you keep selling and I will buy it all .STRONG BUY OMX .
its the only stock Ive shorted...gotta try...right?

Chemical-free cleaning
Since the only ingredient needed to use a steam cleaner is water, cleaning your home has never been more environmentally friendly. After all, does it really make sense to make a sandwich on a countertop that's been sprayed with poison? Not only do you eliminate chemical residues in your home making it a safer place (especially for children and pets who practically live on the floor) but you also help the environment by reducing the amount of chemicals that get washed down the drain and into our water supply.
A whole new level of clean
While you'll still need to put in the effort, the results after using a steam cleaner surpass the conventional method of solvent and sponge. Since steam deodorizes and sanitizes with heat and moisture, debris is removed thoroughly and quickly, leaving a chemical-free sparkle and making your job easier. From bathrooms to basements, large surface areas like tile floors and counter-tops, carpeting, upholstery and even baked-on grills, there are attachments for every area of the house. You'll end up cleaning things you've avoided for ages.
Spend less on cleaning supplies
You will never have to decide on lemon or pine scent again. You'll never need floor polisher, glass sparkler, oven cleaner, mold buster, tile blaster or the guy in the white t-shirt hanging around again. You won't even need those sweaty rubber gloves to protect your hands from solvents. Owning a steam cleaner means owning one exceptional cleaning product for many of your cleaning needs. What will you do with all that extra money? What will you do with all that extra space?
Hunt down and eliminate the trickiest, nastiest culprits
Bacteria, viruses, mold and mildew may not be detectable, but they are potentially some of the most hazardous pathogens that can result in irritations, allergies and infections. When a steam cleaner is used, the tiny hot vapor molecules penetrate the pores of a surface and as they come in contact with the cool surface of the pores, they expand and force all dirt, debris and bacteria to the surface. Vapor molecules are so hot, they are not only able to extract pathogens like E. Coli and Salmonella from surface pores, but also kill them. Good-bye infectious enemies.
Kills and controls allergens like dust mites
The sun pours in. There are "things" floating in the stream of light. No, it isn't mood lighting: many of these floating particles are some of the most prolific allergy triggers in the home – the waste matter of dust mites – second only to pollen in causing allergic reactions. Using a steam cleaner regularly will remove these microscopic, sneeze-inducing pests for good. Some allergic reactions translate into asthma, which is on the rise among children, but studies show that avoiding allergens in early childhood can prevent the onset of asthma. Using a steam cleaner is a great way to keep everyone in your home healthy.
Kids and toys
Steam cleaners can transform a germ-ridden, odiferous nursery into a sparkling clean, chemical- free baby sanctuary. Toys, especially those that are shared with other children, are notorious germ traps that are more than efficient at attracting a host of bodily fluids. A steam cleaner will kill any lingering guests after a play date filled with sneezes and runny noses.
A pet lover's new best friend
Just because you have a pet, doesn't mean your house has to smell like one. A steam cleaner will eliminate "eau de dog," sanitize birdcages and aquariums, and spruce up the litter box area so you needn't hold your breath as you walk past. The high-temperature heat kills fleas, their eggs and their larva. Using a steam cleaner on household surfaces (not Fido) will eradicate these tenacious pests without the use of harsh chemicals.

HONOLULU - Hawaii will host the world's largest conservation conference in 2016, drawing leaders from 1,200 organizations worldwide that are part of The International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The World Conservation Congress is expected to attract 8,000 attendees from U.N. agencies, businesses and nongovernmental organizations from 160 countries.
President Barack Obama wrote a letter supporting Hawaii's bid, saying the warmth and hospitality of the people of Hawaii will make a lasting impression on the delegates.
"Hawaii is one of the most culturally and ecologically rich areas in the United States, with a wealth of unique resources and a distinctive traditional culture," Obama said in the letter.
The meeting will be hosted at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu. The event has drawn popular musicians and leaders of countries, large corporations, the World Bank and the United Nations.
"This will be an enormous infusion economically for Hawaii," Gov. Neil Abercrombie said.
The event will have a ripple effect on tourism and will give the convention center international exposure, he said.
This will be the first time that the United States hosts the gathering since the group's creation in 1948. It is held every four years and was last convened in South Korea.
"Our state is an ideal host for high-level international forums," said U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz in a statement. Schatz was among those who pushed for the meeting to be held in Hawaii.
The event could bring an estimated $37.7 million in visitor spending and $3.6 million in tax revenues, said Brian Lynx of the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
The meeting also will give Hawaii a chance to showcase its work on sustainability, conservation and climate change, said Chipper Wichman, director of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, which is based on Kauai.
"This is going to move the needle," Wichman said. "And this will help Hawaii even more in becoming a global leader in sustainability."

Foreign trade in China is under quick development ever since China entered WTO in 2001. Total import and export value rose to USD 1,760.68 billion in 2006 from USD 509.77 billion in 2001, with the average annual growth rate of 28.13%, which was far higher than the average growth of GDP y-o-y.
Total retail sales of consumer goods in China has amounted to RMB 7,641 billion from RMB 4,305.54 billion since 2001 to 2006, with an annual growth of 12.16%. With the fast development of the national economy in China, the implementation to expand the domestic demand, as well as the rapid growth of the urban citizen income, the consumption market in China will maintain a fast growth.
Along with the trade system reform and trade policy adjustment in China, the traditional trade companies are faced with serious challenge. If these companies don't change their operation modes, they would not have living space under the current product chain.
Strategies of trade companies fall into three groups, first is trade oriented strategy that highlights the company's competitiveness, second is diversified strategies centered by core competitiveness, and third, relevant and irrelevant diversified strategies to enter several industries.
Trade orientated listed companies is restricted by conditions of itself, and their strategies shall adapted to the expected capital injection and reorganization. The diversified listed companies have achieved somehow, especially with support from large central groups. These companies have capital injection source, or they are in anticipation of going public, or they are quite possibly to reorganize. As for irrelevant diversified listed companies, they take advantages of their own region and strengthened management level, thus they realize a stable growth. SHOW LESS READ MORE >

The Abe Fellowship Program encourages international multidisciplinary research on topics of pressing global concern. The program fosters the development of a new generation of researchers interested in policy-relevant topics and willing to become key members of a bilateral and global research network. In partnership with the SSRC, the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership (CGP) established the Abe Fellowship Program as its flagship program in 1991. The Abe Fellowship Program now includes three core elements: the Abe Fellowship, the Abe Fellowship for Journalists, and the CGP-SSRC Policy Forum.
Founded through the efforts of Shintaro Abe, former Japanese minister of foreign affairs, the mission of CGP is (1) to promote collaboration between Japan and the United States, with the goal of fulfilling shared global responsibilities and contributing to improvements in the world's welfare, and (2) to enhance dialogue and interchange between Japanese and US citizens on a wide range of issues, thereby improving bilateral relations.
The Abe Fellowship Program achieves these goals by supporting high-quality research, building collaborative networks, promoting transnational lines of inquiry, and ensuring that the results of this research reach a wide group of policymakers and the public at large.
The Abe Program is now accepting applications for the Abe Fellowship (due September 1) and the Abe Fellowship for Journalists (due September 15), which support research and in-depth coverage, respectively, on topics of pressing concern to the United States and Japan
Abe Fellowship fellow Pardis Mahdavi (2013) has published Crossing the Gulf: Love and Family in Migrant Lives (Stanford University Press) based on her fellowship research

#Leeklove Stoemp {Mashed Potatoes with Leeks}
Author: Susan Palmer
For perfectly smooth potatoes, I highly recommend using a potato ricer to "mash your potatoes." If you don't have one, a traditional masher or a fork to mash will be fine, just make sure there are no lumps remaining.
1lb yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 large leek, cut into ¼ inch halves white and light green parts only
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus additional to top the stoemp
⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup low-sodium chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste
Place the potatoes in a medium stock pot and fill with water until it covers the potatoes by 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until fork tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Remove the dark green parts of the leeks and the tough outer layer. Cut the leek in half lengthwise and then slice into ¼ inch moons. Fill a bowl with cold water and plunge the leeks in to release any dirt trapped between the layers. Lift the leeks out with a slotted spoon (do not pour the water out, or the dirt will end up back in your leeks) and dry on a paper towel.
In a saute pan on medium-low heat, melt the butter and add your leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally until the leeks begin to soften but not brown - about 5 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken stock, bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Take your cooked potatoes and either place them through a ricer or finely mash into a large bowl. Once the leeks are finished braising, remove from the liquid with a slotted spoon and add to the mashed potatoes.
Increase the heat of the heavy cream mixture and cook until it reduces by half. Pour over the potatoes and stir until creamy. Season generously with salt and pepper and top with additional butter.
Serve immediately.

Do penalties for smokers and the obese make sense?
NEW YORK -- Faced with the high cost of caring for smokers and overeaters, experts say society must grapple with a blunt question: Instead of trying to penalize them and change their ways, why not just let these health sinners die?
Annual health-care costs are roughly $96 billion for smokers and $147 billion for the obese, the government says. These costs accompany sometimes heroic attempts to prolong lives, including surgery, chemotherapy and other measures.
But despite these attempts, smokers tend to die 10 years earlier on average, and the obese die five to 12 years prematurely, according to various estimates.
And attempts to curb smoking and unhealthy eating frequently lead to backlash: Witness the current legal tussle over New York City's limits on the size of sugary beverages and 2012's vicious fight in California over a $1-per-pack cigarette tax, which was ultimately defeated.
Critics also contend that tobacco- and calorie-control measures place a disproportionately heavy burden on poor people.
Critics call these approaches unfair, and believe they have only a marginal effect. "Ultimately these things are weak tea," said Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a physician and fellow at the right-of-center think tank, the American Enterprise Institute.
Gottlieb's view is debatable. There are plenty of public health researchers that can show smoking control measures have brought down smoking rates and who will argue that smoking taxes are not regressive so long as money is earmarked for programs that help poor people quit smoking.
And debate they will. There always seems to be a fight whenever this kind of public health legislation comes up. And it's a fight that can go in all sorts of directions. For example, some studies even suggest that because smokers and obese people die sooner, they may actually cost society less than healthy people who live much longer and develop chronic conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
So let's return to the original question: Why provoke a backlash? If 1 in 5 U.S. adults smoke, and 1 in 3 are obese, why not just get off their backs and let them go on with their (probably shortened) lives?
Because it's not just about them, say some health economists, bioethicists and public health researchers.
"Your freedom is likely to be someone else's harm," said Daniel Callahan, senior research scholar at a bioethics think-tank, the Hastings Center.

My Latest Invention: The Dorsavent Chef's Jacket (Satire)
The Dorsavent ( from dorsal and ventral) is the first reversible chefs coat that is designed so that the back is a mirror image of the front. Now when the front of the jacket gets dirty, the chef does not have to change to a new jacket! He/she merely takes the jacket off, turns the back to the front and voila! The chef looks clean again.
This jacket will be especially attractive to chefs who work double shifts and restaurateurs whose budgets are being squeezed by the drop off in business that has crept in behind the freeze-up of the global credit market.
And for chefs who feel like schmucks walking around with buttons and food smears on their back, there is an optional cape (available in black and white). I'm a fraking marketing genius. Get used to it.

Previous workers who have used the balance to measure the insensible perspiration of infants have not adequately controlled the technic of the measurements or fully recognized the influence of extraneous factors. One group of observers1 held that the insensible perspiration, measured by the method of weighings, varies from day to day, even under the same conditions; whereas another group2 maintained that the rate is intrinsically constant and that the variations so frequently reported arise from extraneous factors not carefully controlled. Studies with the calorimeter and the respiration chamber offer presumptive evidence in favor of the latter view. They show a striking correlation in adults,3 children4 and infants5 between the production of heat and the vaporization of water through the skin and the lungs under basal and other conditions.
The meager and conflicting evidence available in the literature prompted these preliminary studies of the various physiologic

HOWLAND - Howland resident and reigning Miss Ohio Heather Wells made it to the 2014 Miss America Competition Sunday in Atlantic City, N.J.
However, the Howland High School and Kent State University graduate was not named among the 12 finalists.
Wells was the second Miss Ohio in recent years to come from Trumbull County. Amanda Beagle - also a Howland grad - was crowned in 2004.
While still a child, Wells began competing in fair pageants to show off her dance routines. She made six attempts at the Miss Ohio title, starting competition as a high school senior.
Her grandmother, Doris Watkins, 70, of Warren, recently recalled watching Wells win at competitions at the Eastwood Mall or local fairs. Wells and her mother moved in with Watkins after Wells' parents divorced when she was about 3 years old, something that played into her platform as a Miss America hopeful.
Wells holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism and is pursuing a master's degree in nutrition from Kent State University. She plans to become a registered nutritionist and hopes to work as a health correspondent for a news network.
As Miss Ohio, Wells received a $10,000 scholarship from Newman Technology and a vehicle for her year of service from Graham Automall.
The 53 contestants - one from each state as well as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District Of Columbia - received scores in categories including talent, swimwear and evening wear, and onstage interviews.
Miss Kansas, the tattooed Army sergeant, and the injured Miss Florida, wearing a bejeweled knee brace, were among contestants advancing to the semi-finals of Sunday's Miss America finale in Atlantic City, as the pageant returned to where it began in 1921.
Other states whose contestants advanced to the semi-finals were: Maryland, Connecticut, Missouri, Oklahoma, New York, Wisconsin, Texas, California, Georgia and Minnesota.
The pageant pits 53 the contestants in swimsuit, evening gown, talent and interview competitions.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
