Much of Dylan's most notable work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His most recent studio album, Modern Times, released on August 29, 2006, entered the U.S. album charts at #1, making him, at age 65, the oldest living person to top those charts. Dylan's early lyrics incorporated politics...

Lady Wolves prepare for playoffs with warm-up wins
By Lisa Soileaux
Assistant Editor
The Lady Wolves softball team completed their district slate Thursday with a 14-0 shut-out win over Northwest, finishing their 2013 season with a 7-3 district slate.
In the shutout over Northwest, Kelcie Bourgeois fanned 12 batters for strikeouts while limiting the Lady Raiders to only three base runners.
Leading the offensive stats for the Lady Wolves were Katleyn LeDoux (2 hits, 2 RBIs), Whitney Fontenot (2 hits, 1 RBI), Alex Peltier (3 hits), Ariel Meche (2 hits, 3RBIs), Kristin Gaspard (2 hits, 1 RBI, 2B), Cecily Schexnyder (2 hits, 1 RBI) and Mollie Simon (1 RBI).
The win over Northwest places Rayne High in a two-way tie for second place with Church Point. Both teams will qualify for the state playoffs due to the new power ranking system, but brackets were not available as of press time. Port Barre won the district outright and will enter as the district's top team. Brackets were scheduled to be released today (Thursday) on the LHSAA website with bi-district action slated for next week.
In a warm-up game Monday in Rayne, the Lady Wolves defeated Delcambre, 3-1.
Bourgeois threw another win collecting nine strikeouts.
Katelyn LeDoux led the offensive stats for the Lady Wolves going 2-for-3 with a double and RBI. Amanda Bourque was 2-for-3, as was Ariel Meche and Cecily Schexnyder. Also collecting hits were Peltier, Benoit, Gaspard and Fontenot.

Radlett Synagogue's oldest member was called up on Shabbat as part of the celebrations of his platinum wedding anniversary.
Harry Morris, 96, and his wife Rene, 92, were married on November 1, 1942 at the Egerton Road shul in Stamford Hill. Seventy years on, they have two children, three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, all of whom were with them at the weekend.
After serving in the Home Guard during the war, Mr Morris worked as a mechanical engineer and later helped to set up a chemical plant in Ashdod, where the couple lived for a year. They later worked in a business producing table plans for barmitzvahs.
Founding members of Kenton Synagogue, they are now senior Radlett congregants.
They attribute the longevity of their partnership to "doing things together, tolerance, humour and trust".

UCLA chancellor Gene Block tackles economy, civic responsibility
UCLA's new chancellor, Gene D. (for David) Block, got an early lesson in both hard work and Jewish tribalism when, during summer vacations, he helped his father, a dairy products distributor in Monticello, N.Y.
"I had two milk routes along the Borscht Belt in the Catskill Mountains," Block recalled. "I got up at 4 a.m. for my wholesale deliveries to the large camps. In the early afternoon, I'd switch trucks to service the retail customers in the bungalows."
The tough part of the job was to keep milk labels apart for the different Chasidic customers.
"I had to juggle six kinds of kosher milk," Black said, "because the Lubavitchers needed a different kind of certification than the Satmars, and so did the Belz, the Ger Chasidim and so on."
Still, the job had its compensations. Delivering milk to the great Borscht Belt hotels -- The Concord, Grossinger's and others -- Block caught the last of the legendary comics of the era.
Block, 59, has completed his first year as UCLA's top man, after spending most of his career -- from assistant professor to vice president -- at the University of Virginia.
He earned an international reputation as a physiological psychologist and continues to focus his research and teaching on biological clocks, the brain's electrical time-keeping system.
Block is known to his colleagues as a workaholic and multitasker but also wins praise for his patience and optimism. He displayed his patience and humor during an hour-long interview at his UCLA office and needs all his optimism to tackle the problems at hand.
These include a shaky state budget, which provides about 30 percent of UCLA's funds; continued efforts at student diversity within legal parameters; and, lately, protecting researchers working with animals from politically motivated physical attacks.
He prides himself on good communication with students, and the campus has been largely spared ethnic or religious friction. Of some 37,500 undergraduate and graduate students, 36 percent are white, non-Hispanic; 33 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders; 12.5 percent Chicano/Latino, and 3.5 percent African Americans. The remainder chose not to identify their ethnicities.
According to the best estimates, there are some 3,500 to 4,000 Jewish students, or roughly 10 percent of the student body.
Block's grandparents on both sides came to the United States from different parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, mainly from the Czech, Hungarian and Transylvanian areas, in search of a better life.
The chancellor relishes talking about his paternal grandfather, who served 25 years in the U.S. Navy under the name of Frank May and saw action in the Chinese Boxer Rebellion of 1899-1901.
After discharge, he decided to buy a farm in the Catskill area but found the going tough. So his wife opened a boarding house for New York summer visitors, and when all the rooms were rented out, Block's grandparents slept in the barn.
Block's parents were Reform Jews, but young Gene (his real given name) celebrated his bar mitzvah in a Conservative synagogue.
"We were sort of the typical American Jewish family in transition," Block remembered. "We didn't keep a kosher home, but my mother had two sets of dishes and never served shrimp."
His father spoke Yiddish, of which Block has retained a smattering.
When Block was a biology professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, he made what he smilingly described as his greatest contribution to his faith.
"I had a post-doctoral student, who, it turned out, was also a cantor. So I 'volunteered' him to the local synagogue, and even after he moved elsewhere, he always returned for the High Holidays."
At UCLA, as in Virginia, Block attends High Holy Day services at the campus Hillel Center.
Block married his high school sweetheart, Carol, 38 years ago, and they are the parents of two adult children. Among his hobbies are tinkering with cars and his collection of 50 antique radios.
Block seems to be enjoying his new job and is high on UCLA, especially its "remarkable students -- they're dazzling." When they graduate, he predicted, "they will be a transformative generation, crucial to the technological and economic development of California."
In the interview, Block stressed UCLA's responsibility to the larger Los Angeles community, especially in improving the public school system.
A major project is working together with the Los Angeles Unified School District on a future community school, on the site of the old Ambassador Hotel, whose students, mainly from minority groups, will be in small classes, with an emphasis on science and information technology.
Also getting under way is an interdisciplinary research center on the UCLA campus, dealing with acute civic problems, including childhood obesity, homelessness and gang violence.
All of this will take money, not the least from private donors, and Block knows that one of the main tasks of any modern university head is to spearhead fundraising efforts.
He does not discriminate against donors of any race or creed, but he is well aware that Jews have been among the most generous of UCLA supporters, as the names on many campus buildings and labs testify.
"I feel certain that the Jewish community will continue its traditional support of higher education," Block said in parting.

I hate heat, so this is not my favorite season. Actually, in South Carolina we have only two seasons: Hot, and Christmas. Its not Christmas.
I hail from coastal North Carolina, and thought I knew hot when I moved here in 1990. Ha! I didnt know eyebrows could actually sweat. I didnt know a seat belt buckle could blister your stomach.
But dont take my word for it. My beloved brother, T-Bob, has lived in steamy South Florida for 25 years. Yet the first time he stepped off a plane in Charleston (in August), he mopped his brow at curbside, saw my car and bellowed: MY GOD! SISTER! BRING ME WATER! Everyoneskycaps, pedestrians, cabbies looked around for a nun, but it was just frizzy-headed me in a sweaty t-shirt.
I once knew a guy who roofed houses all over the Deep South. Think black tarpaper, blazing sun, sticky-hot shingles. A truly tough gig. The only time he passed out was in Charleston, at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday. (Its funny what the mind recalls.) I was reaching for a water bottle when everything went black, he said.
He woke up in the back of a van with two 10-pound bags of ice covering his body. He ate a few cubes and went back to work, which I guess is what roofers do. I could never be a roofer. I could never be a lot of things in the dog days of summer.
Public health officials have plenty of tips on how to beat the heat. Hydrate, take breaks in the shade and, if possible, stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (Interestingly, I have never seen a golf course deserted between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Golfers must know tricks we dont.)
Here are a few more tips for coping with the beastly, skin-crawling hotness that we call summer in the lowcountry.
Go to Paris. It may be just as hot, but at least youll be in Paris.
Nap in a hammock on the porch under whirring ceiling fans. If you have no hammock (or porch, or ceiling fans), borrow a neighbors. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Eat frozen seedless grapes.
Change your bed and crawl into the blissful comfort of cool, crisp sheets.
Drink unsweetened iced tea. Sweet tea is over-rated. It rots your teeth and doesnt provide the refreshing snap that unsweetened tea does.
Lie prone on a hardwood floor and read To Kill a Mockingbird. Not only because its a classic, but because Harper Lee nails the description of summertime in the south. Sweaty frosted teacakes, indeed.
Dont fight the torpor. Stay in your house. Post a sign on your door that says Emerging in October.
Thank God and Willis Carrier (who invented air conditioning in 1902) that you dont live in the Victorian era when women wore corsets and taffeta dresses to sit in stifling parlors, and men wore long sleeves and vests to work in warehouses.
Gulp some icy-cold cucumber water. (Slice a cucumber and add to one gallon of spring water. Keep in fridge. Some people add rosemary or dill, but thats gilding the lily.)
Climb a shady tree and read a book in the sun-dappled silence. Just dont blame me if you fall out and break a leg.
Slice, salt and pepper a fresh tomato. Place between two slices of white bread thickly spread with Miracle Whip. Gobble it in your underwear in front of a window fan. (For all you Dukes mayo fans out there, calm down. Its too hot to get riled up.)

LOS ANGELES -- On the whiteboard in the Suns' locker room before the game, someone scribbled this Winston Churchill quote:
We shall not fail or falter. We shall not weaken or tire. We have the tools and we will finish the job.
Finish the job? Hardly.
Through no fault of the offense, the Suns took a third-quarter tie and turned it into a 124-112 Game 2 loss in the Western Conference finals at Staples Center. Blame the defense, which has plunged to such horrible depths it could have inspired Los Angeles Lakers fan Leo DiCaprio to make "Titanic II."
The offense, meanwhile, took a giant leap from Game 1. Suns players moved the ball better, were more efficient on the break and, most important, remembered how to score from outside again.
No one looked more rejuvenated than Grant Hill, who delivered a steady stream of mid-range jumpers and finished with 23 points.
"I just took what was there," he said.
Hill is 37. Thirty-seven. He makes you want to renew your gym membership, hire a dietician and sip from the fountain of youth.
After the game, he stood in front of his locker, dressed to kill in an all-black suit that he probably could wear to the Suns' funeral, which might be coming soon.
"I just know that every night you get the maximum effort from him," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "I never have a complaint. Even when he doesn't play well, you never have a complaint because you know he's giving you everything that he has."
Defensively, the Lakers loaded up on the Suns' pick and roll. That created room on the weak side for Hill to have more open looks.
It was Hill who hit two free throws to give the Suns their first tie of the game, at 80, in the third and it was Hill who did it again with a 17-foot jump shot to make it 88-88.
He was the primary reason the Suns were competitive until midway through the fourth quarter.
Oh, yes. He also had the pleasure of guarding Kobe Bryant.
And about that defense? Such discussions are not easy to stomach.
The newly outspoken Amar'e Stoudemire was painfully weak in trying to back up his critical comments about Lamar Odom. His defense, or rather the glaring lack of defense, allowed the talented Lakers front line to feast on an assortment of easy shots. The Suns offense, however, shot 41.7 percent from 3-point range, a misleading figure because of desperate long-range attempts at the end. Jared Dudley led the way by making 5 of 5.
The successful outside shooting was a much-needed addition because it kept a stingy Lakers defense honest. The Suns aren't big enough to afford poor outside shooting against the Lakers.
What the offense could have used was a little more Channing Frye, or perhaps just some contribution. Frye was 0 for 5 on Wednesday and is 1 for 13 in two games against the Lakers.
"Channing is going to have to step up for us. That's the bottom line," Gentry said. "We need him on the floor. He's a good post defender for us, but he's got to be able to make some shots."
The biggest shock for the Lakers defense had to be Dudley, who played 30 minutes and finished with 15 points.
Before the game, Gentry referred to Dudley as a "garbage player." He meant that in the most complimentary sense because he does a lot of the little things the team needs.
On Wednesday Dudley did a lot of the big things, too.
The Suns have put themselves in a near-impossible position: winning four of the next five games.
Though the Lakers demonstrated early in the postseason that they are vulnerable, they rarely are vulnerable for multiple games.
The Suns offense did its part Wednesday.
The defense? That's another story.

With the 2013-14 theater season little more than half over, two local companies already have finalized plans for their upcoming seasons.
Torn Space Theater, the experimental company known for its unorthodox and often site-specific productions, claims that it is "redefining the theater season" by launching its new spate of shows in March rather than September.
On March 20 in the Adam Mickiewicz Dramatic Circle and Library on Fillmore Avenue, Torn Space will open a production of Maria Irene Fornes' "Mud," a play in 17 scenes about a poor girl's attempt to rise above her station. The show runs through April 13.
Next up, from July 17 to 27, the company will produce an adaptation of Martin Goldsmith's noir film "Detour," described in a release as a "stage experiment."
On Aug. 22, Torn Space will return to the gritty surroundings of Silo City for a three-day run of "Storehouse," a new, site-specific piece by company co-founder and artistic director Dan Shanahan. A release promises that the production, which follows last summer's popular "Motion Picture" at Silo City, will "expose a new, unexplored corner of the monolithic elevators while continuing our investigation of civic ritual."
Torn Space's "redefined" season wraps up with Frank Wedekind's "Lulu," in which men try to contain the play's wild protagonist "but soon learn their ingenue energy cannot be restrained by convention." That show runs from Sept. 18 to Oct. 12.
Fan favorites
MusicalFare Theatre, which is nearing completion on a major project to expand its lobby and add a cabaret performance venue, will kick off its 25th anniversary season Sept. 10 with the cheeky musical "The Drowsy Chaperone" directed by Chris Kelly. The show runs through Oct. 12.
On Nov. 5, the theater will open the Fats Waller revue "Ain't Misbehavin'," running through Dec. 7. The new year at MusicalFare will kick off with a remount of "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story," which the company produced to great popular and critical acclaim in 2008, from Feb. 4 to March 8, 2015.
"Carousel," the Rodgers and Hammerstein show that is a favorite of musical theater aficionados, runs from April 15 to May 17, 2015. And the season closes out with another MusicalFare fan favorite, "Sisters of Swing: The Andrews Sisters Musical," from July 8 to Aug. 9, 2015.
The theater's new cabaret space will feature an extensive series of readings and performances to be announced at a later date.

Office Supply Store Shredding Services Review (Staples, Office Depot)
|Email Print
A few months ago, the shredder we bought from Staples, after four years of dutiful service, finally died. It was one of their Staples branded cross cut shredders, I think I paid something like $40 for it, and it worked well for two years and struggled for another two before the motor burned out (my guess anyway). Since then, I'd just been accumulating my documents in a banker's box in anticipate of a visit to one of the office supply stores for their shredding services. I've mentioned, in the past, that there are plenty of free document shredding services available and they usually peak around tax season, which is right about now.
I had accumulated around five pounds of shreddable documents, which isn't more than a couple inches laid flat, and was looking to get rid of them. With an Office Depot and a Staples nearby, I decided to try out both to see how they compared.
Staples is my go-to office supply store because I'm able to recycle ink cartridges and get store credit for them ($2 each, max of 10 a month) and because they're closer. You can locate the closest one near you with a Copy & Print section to do your shredding. At 79¢ per pound, the pricing is pretty standard, the service is outsourced to Iron Mountain.
When you bring your documents to Staples, they will take them and put them in a locked industrial garbage bin. There's a slot at the top that lets you slide in about half an inch worth of documents at a time and an employee does it right in front of you. They don't shred the documents in front of you. The tradeoff is that this is much faster than waiting for documents to be shredded but you no guarantee that the documents will be shredded. Personally, I didn't have a problem with that because we were talking mostly junk mail and credit card applications. I might not be as comfortable with old tax returns.
When you get there, they weight the stack and then drop the papers into the bin.
Office Depot
Office Depot charges 99¢ per pound and they have two levels of service. For a "smaller job," which isn't clearly defined, they shred it right in front of you. Someone stands there and shred the documents while you wait. The tricky part with this is that there typically isn't more than one person working that area so they'll go help a customer while they're shredding. Five pounds can take quite a bit of time, especially with interruptions.
They also have the option to put your documents in a locked bin, just as Staples does, and it gets outsourced to Iron Mountain as well. All things considered, if you have a lot of documents, this is probably a better option than waiting for an employee to shred it.
It's twenty cents more a pound but if you want to see it shredded in front of you, Office Depot is a better option.
I know there are other shredding services but I haven't used them so I can't speak to how they work. I know that Office Max has a service where you pay 79¢ a pound, they collect and outsource the shredding to Cintas. There are also probably local options too from office supply companies without a national presence. It seems that most do one of two things – shred in person or shred off-site with a partner like Iron Mountain or Cintas. Use whichever one you feel most comfortable with.

We three musketeers go our various ways. Bob shoots with many of the producers for WQED's nightly news magazine program called "On Q." Then he and I start to work on a new Pittsburgh program that will be called "Invented, Engineered & Pioneered in Pittsburgh." Jarrett gets hired as a grip on several of the Hollywood movies that come to shoot in Pittsburgh, including "The Road," based on Cormac McCarthy's unforgettable novel.
One fine fall day when the leaves look colorful, Bob and I get a station van and head east on the Lincoln Highway to Bedford. The sun doesn't shine as much as we'd like, but we find a few nice autumnal shots along 30 and pieces of the original Lincoln.
We stop to see the Flight 903 memorial near Schenksville, PA. It's barely a mile or two off Route 30. It's simple to find, but then it's not easy in any way. Grief and confusion and terror and bravery and tons of things left to honor the victims are somehow all there in the middle of a Pennsylvania field.
We shoot some of the murals that have been painted along the Lincoln Highway corridor in Pennsylvania, and we stop to meet the couple who run the Lincoln Court Motel. When they show us the inside of one of their cabins, I know we have to do a story there. I doubt that the insides of those cottages look much different than they did in the 1950s.

2013 NDSU Clean Snowmobile Challenge
A prominent factor in today's engineering is the increasing problem associated with pollution created using current forms of transportation. It is a mutually confirmed issue that has both designer and consumer searching for better ways to accomplish the same tasks in the most efficient way possible. The Clean Snowmobile Competition creates an environment for intellectual enhancement primarily focusing on this current issue while allowing students to "look outside the box," promote environmental safety, and maintain performance.
The Clean Snowmobile Competition (CSC) with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is a design competition focusing on improving several environmental characteristics. The key characteristics include lower emissions, fuel economy, ergonomics and noise. The competition allows for a complete understanding of engineering processes from design, fabrication and application.
The 2013 NDSU SAE CSC Team will continue to improve the unique design implementation of using a diesel in the snowmobile. This year, there are plans for a common rail injection system retrofitted to the three cylinder Kubota diesel motor.

Fright Night
This film should have been called "Disco Dracula." It's a reminder of how bad music was in the early '80s, not to mention of how small a role logic and common sense played during the period.
Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) ignores his willing girlfriend, Amy (Amanda Bearse), when he spots some people moving a coffin into his neighbor's house. Charley's sudden distraction by a potential blood-sucker points to a possible metaphor for men's distaste with "female issues." It's also entirely possible he just found Chris Sarandon a better scoring opportunity, given the amount of femininity he exudes compared to Bearse.
Anyway, his first contact with Jerry Dandridge (Sarandon) comes when he brings a cop to Jerry's house and the cop tells Dandridge that Charley suspects he's been slaughtering people -- a real tribute to law enforcement in the Reagan era. To help him defeat the polyester-clad Dandridge, Charley enlists the help of an ex-horror star, Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowell). He does so by walking right up to him on the lot of a television studio. How'd he get in? Where was security? Who knows? Who cares?
Dandridge is interested in Amy, and why Charley didn't just say "thank God" and go about his own business is anybody's guess. One also has to wonder why Vincent's cross works on Charley's compromised friend, Evil, but not on Dandridge, and how exactly a small pistol produces enough smoke to close down a Kiss concert. Of course, these are questions that horror films just couldn't care less about.

Wyeast Laboratories, Inc. produces a variety of Pure Liquid YeastTM cultures for production of distilled beverages. The strains recommended for use in distilled spirits have been selected for their combination of high attenuation rate, low ester production, and development of other congeners that are beneficial to your distilled spirits. Since very high degrees of attenuation are desired without associated esters commonly created by stressed yeast, greater levels of nutrients essential to proper yeast cell growth and metabolism are needed than for producing other fermented beverages. Additional Wyeast Vintner's Choice Nutrient Blend is recommended.
Award-winning home and professional distillers have discovered the "Pure Liquid Yeast DifferenceTM" in the flavor, aroma and overall quality of their beverages.

Gwen Cesta, 25, remembers the first time she met Dr. Joseph Panzarella at the Brunswick, L.I. Rehabilitation Hospital: "I'd been on crutches for 12 months between operations on my right knee, which I hurt in an accident. I was really feeling sorry for myself—I wouldn't be able to date; I couldn't dance. I reached out to shake his hand. 'I'm sorry,' he told me. 'I don't have the use of my arms.' Boy, that put my problems in perspective!"
Panzarella, 61, who is paralyzed from the neck down, is far more than the hospital's resident morale builder. He is its medical director, a national authority on rehabilitation and an active physician who sees 20 patients a day.
His paralysis is caused by multiple sclerosis (MS), which struck while he was studying at the Long Island College of Medicine in 1943. A 1953 automobile accident exacerbated the disease, which can cause progressive deterioration within the nervous system. Yet his doctors were unsure if the growing paralysis was caused by MS or a spinal tumor. In 1954 they told Panzarella an operation would remove the tumor, if there were one, with full recovery possible. If MS was the cause, the trauma of surgery might worsen the paralysis. Panzarella gambled on surgery—and lost. No tumor was found.
He has lived in a wheelchair since. "I was depressed for a long time after the operation," he remembers. "After a while I realized that the more depressed I became, the more obnoxious I was. Finally I accepted what had happened. That's the hardest thing for any handicapped person to do."
Paralysis has not been Panzarella's only trial, however. In 1955 his wife, Jo, gave birth to stillborn twins. In 1959 Panzarella suffered the first of three heart attacks. In 1972, during the third attack, his son Jeff, 24, died in an auto accident while following his father's ambulance. Two years later his daughter Jacqueline developed the first symptoms of what proved to be MS.
His courage in the face of these tragedies, Panzarella says, is due to his devout Catholicism and to Jo, a childhood sweetheart he married in 1945. She typed all his medical school papers. She dresses and shaves him, uses a lift to move his 230 pounds from wheelchair to bed, and turns him every two hours to prevent bedsores. She also is the mother of his seven children.
The couple's youngest child, James, 18, was born "when Jo and I thought our child-producing era was over," Panzarella says. "Handicapped persons should have a healthy sex life to the best of their ability," he adds.
An enduring regret, Panzarella says, is that he has never been able to hold his seven grandchildren. "They seem to sense he can't," says Jo. "They come over very readily, feed him, hug him and turn pages for him."
Panzarella, raised in Brooklyn by Sicilian immigrant parents, has not always met such understanding, particularly among colleagues. Some doctors were openly hostile while he was finishing his M.D. and after he went into practice as an anesthesiologist. When the 1954 operation failed, Panzarella recalls, one of them seriously suggested, "Maybe you could learn to repair watches."
He in fact did not practice medicine for a year after the operation. Then, in 1955, he met Dr. Howard Rusk, a pioneer in rehabilitation medicine who accepted Panzarella as a three-year fellow in his clinic at New York University. Since then Panzarella has taught rehabilitation at the university's School of Medicine; won numerous honors, including the 1977 Presidential Award as Handicapped American of the Year; written a 1978 memoir, Spirit Makes a Man, and served as an adviser at seven New York hospitals.
He set up the Brunswick Rehabilitation Hospital in 1968. Assistants there do the manual part of his medical exams, but Panzarella, says therapist Julius Scotti, "can do a clinical diagnosis just by what he sees. And his assessments are right on the ball."
"My patients look and see that I'm a lot worse than they are," Panzarella adds. "I've been able to overcome it and that gives them hope for themselves."

Technology students from three St. Tammany Parish high schools will test their automotive knowledge and technical skills against each other and other top-notch students from throughout the state May 1 at the 65th annual Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills contest in Alexandria, La. They are competing for a chance to win prizes, scholarships, tools and awards, along with a shot to represent the state in a national contest later this summer.
Teams are comprised of two students – juniors or seniors – who qualified for the hands-on portion of the contest by first scoring highest on a written exam administered during February. For the first time, three schools from St. Tammany Parish will be represented at the Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills contest at the same time.
Earning the right to compete for the state title are Trevor Fanguy and Christopher Gonzales from Lakeshore High School in Mandeville; John Brown and Austin Byron from Covington High School; and Michael Boteler and Christopher Miller representing Salmen High School in Slidell. The students will be accompanied at the contest by their instructors: Anthony Renaud, Lakeshore High; Steve McCord, Covington; and Daniel Laurant, Salmen High School.
Each of the 10 two-person teams will square off in a race against the clock to correctly identify and fix intentionally installed "bugs" on identical 2014 Ford Fiestas. After diagnosing and repairing every bug, the teammates must drive their assigned vehicle across the finish line, where their car will be inspected for accuracy.
The winning team members not only receive scholarships, tools and other valuable prizes; they also will represent Louisiana June 8-10 at the National Finals at Ford Headquarters in Dearborn, Mich.Additional information about the contest is available online at www.autoskills.com

A divided appellate panel on Wednesday reversed the convictions of 16 members of an Ohio Amish community who engaged in a series of hair-shearing and beard-cutting assaults against followers of the faith three years ago.
A jury convicted all 16 members of the Bergholz community of at least one violation of the Hate Crime Prevention Act, which prohibits "willfully causing bodily injury to any person … because of the actual or perceived … religion … of that person."
In what is believed to be the first federal appellate case involving the 2009 law, a 2-1 panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that the trial judge improperly instructed the jury on the motive element of a prosecution under the hate-crime statute.
That error, Judge Jeffrey Sutton wrote in United States v. Miller, was not harmless. Still, because the government presented enough evidence before the trial to win a conviction, the double-jeopardy clause did not prevent a retrial before a new jury, he said.
Sutton, joined by Judge Richard Griffin, said that motive played a "starring role" in the trial. The hate-crime law requires the government to show that a defendant attacked the victim "because of" the victim's actual or perceived religion. The district court, he wrote, told the jury that the motive element could be satisfied by showing that a person's actual or perceived religion was "a significant motivating factor" for the defendant's action, even if there were other reasons for doing what he or she did as well.
However, Sutton wrote, the defense had the better argument when it claimed that the phrase "because of" requires "but-for" causation—a showing that defendants would not have acted but for the victim's actual or perceived religious beliefs. In other words, that religion was the "straw that broke the camel's back."
Sutton looked to the everyday use of the phrase "because of" and concluded that it indicates a but-for causal link. He also cited the U.S. Supreme Court's insistence in both the civil and criminal context that laws using the phrase "because of" require a showing of but-for causality, most recently in this year's Burrage v. United States.
"Our court has said the same thing," he wrote. " 'Because of' in brief means what it says: The prohibited act or motive must be an actual cause of the specified outcome."
A standard that required less than the but-for link, he said, "treads uncomfortably" close to the line separating constitutional regulation of conduct and unconstitutional regulation of beliefs. The but-for connection ensures that the criminal law targets conduct and not "bigoted beliefs" with little connection to the crime.
The district judge's error was not harmless because, Sutton wrote, "When all is said and done, considerable evidence supported the defendants' theory that interpersonal and intra-family disagreements, not the victims' religious beliefs, sparked the attacks. And all of this evidence could have given a reasonable juror grounds to doubt that religion was a but-for cause of the assaults."
Dissenting, U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus Jr. of the Southern District of Ohio argued the majority had adopted an unduly restrictive interpretation of the law and had required proof of faith-based animus that is nowhere in the statute.
"Overwhelming and uncontested evidence adduced at trial demonstrates that 'but for' the victims' Amish religion, their beards and hair would not have been cut," Sargus wrote. "Because the record contains no evidence undermining the conclusion that the victims' Amish religion was a but-for cause of the injury, the trial court's causation-instruction error was harmless."
The assaults followed a series of excommunications begun in 2006 by the Bergholz community's bishop, Samuel Miller. Amish bishops from around the country met in September 2006 to discuss the shunnings and voted unanimously to reverse them.
Tensions within the community increased following a two-year child-custody battle and trial resulting in the award of permanent custody to one of the formerly excommunicated members who had left to join an Amish community in Pennsylvania. Believing that the loss of the children was caused by their sin, Sutton wrote, some Bergholz members cut their hair and shaved their beards as atonement.
"The Bergholz community did not confine this ritual to their own ranks," he wrote. "They also used it to punish or harm others who were not members of the church district."
From Sept. 6 to Nov. 9, 2011, Bergholz members committed five attacks on nine individuals, slicing off the men's beards and cutting the women's hair. "Religious and personal ties connected the nine victims of these attacks to the Bergholz community," Sutton wrote. "Some were parents of Bergholz residents, some were friends and some were associated with family members who had left Bergholz for other Amish districts. Also linking the victims was that they participated in overturning the Bergholz excommunications and that, in the eyes of the assailants, they were 'Amish hypocrites.' "
Michael Rosman, general counsel of the Center for Individual Rights, represented one of the 16 community members convicted of violating the hate-crime law. The panel's ruling, he said, was "a mixed blessing. We were hoping for a dismissal of the indictment rather than a retrial, so that part is a little disappointing. But on the other hand, a win is a win."
Rosman said he and the government would have to consider their options.
"A number of defendants, including my client, already have served their sentences," he said. "Some were sentenced to longer sentences but a number were sentenced to a year and a day. The district judge, to his credit, staggered some of the sentences so children wouldn't be left completely without parental supervision."

President Barack Obama is meeting with his national security team on Wednesday for the eighth time to discuss his strategy in Afghanistan.
"The president will have an opportunity to discuss four options with his national security team tomorrow," Obama's spokesman, Robert Gibbs, told reporters aboard Air Force One Tuesday.
He did not elaborate on what they were.
CBN News White House Correspondent David Brody gave an analysis of President Obama's "four options." Click play to see the report followed by his comments.
Military officials say Obama is considering adding tens of thousands of more troops, but probably not the 40,000 that Gen. Stanley McChrystal requested three months ago.
Republican senators are sending the president a letter Wednesday urging him to move quickly, saying they were concerned about the stress on the 68,000 troops currently occupying the war-torn nation.
Gibbs said a decision is still weeks away.
