xsquilter I like your blocks. Are you using the same light background fabric in all you blocks. I am using different light background colors and I am not happy with them. If I want to make a change I have to do it now.
I have been thinking the same thing about mine...
Several years ago I bought lots of Civ War fabrics for another Civil War Medallion quilt [that I have yet to begin] I think I have enough fabric for 3 or 4 different quilts. When I decided to do a Dear Jane I figured I should use those fabrics [although the Kaffe Fasset version on greenfairyquilts blog keeps pulling at me!!] Any rate - My first three blocks, which I posted way near the beginning, are very drab. They look like the lights were dropped into black coffee! I started this way because my dear historian friend pointed out that Civil War quilts were drab. I wasn't sure if I liked it and didnt quite understand why many if not most of the fabrics of "civil war reproductions' were not drab at all, in fact they were quite bright and cheery. So I did some research of my own and found that women used all their left overs during the Civil War and the fabrics sold just prior were very bright. Therefore quilts from that time period are very scrappy and pretty bright. Although most of the quilts you do find have prints offset with muslin so the background is pretty constant, I did vary my backgrounds as well - and I used lots of light and drab prints. Check out my posts on #605 and particularly #606. The first triangle there has that drab light. I'm not sure they look that great together either. But I figure it will just add to the scrappiness and once I have 255 of these babies [eeeek!] they will be scattered around and it won't matter. The sashing we put in between will be constant and that will tie it all together. [at least this is what I hope for both of us!!!]
OMG!! every time I look at my posts - they go on forever and ever......... sorry [I don't 'talk' that much in person!]

Cre8tvlwyr, I want to thank you for your reply. I have been collecting Civil War fabrics for a while, so they will be used in my DJ quilt. During the last 2 years I have completed about 15 blocks. One day I will post them. Making them during my free time. I am attempting to complete my goal - make our 8 adult Grandkids plus 1 GreatGrandDaughter (6yrs) each a quilt. So time is precious right now.
Memere, I made my first 9 quilts for my daughter, my son, and my 7 grandchildren. Then I made a 9-block crazy quilt with scraps from each quilt and embroidered their names and the year their quilt was finished in each block. The crazy quilt is hanging on my wall.

Me too...I love reading all the posts....the long & short of it!
memereof8-yes, I'm using the same cream coloured fabric throughout wherever it's called for. I hope I don't get caught not having enough! I'm really, really, trying to stick with my plans of using stash on hand.

Opportunity Costs: Military Spending and the UN Development Agenda
By Colin Archer and Annette Willi, 2012
IPB wrote a Position Paper entitled Opportunity Costs: Military Spending and the UN's Development Agenda. It makes the case that military spending should be taken into consideration in the debate now under way on the UN's Post-2015 Development Agenda (following on from the Millennium Development Goals). In IPB's view, militarization is a significant factor in the sustainable development equation, often undermining the security of citizens. At the same time, the massive resources devoted to the military sector could - if even a small portion were reallocated - make a major contribution to meeting the challenges of mass poverty, unemployment and climate change.

WASHINGTON – Minnesota's U.S. senators joined a bipartisan, but mostly Democratic, group of lawmakers asking President Obama to accelerate the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Afghanistan.
In a letter to the president, the 27 senators said American objectives in the country had been largely achieved, including the destruction of the terrorist group Al Qaeda and the recent killing of its leader, Osama bin Laden, by U.S. forces.
The letter said further counter-insurgency and nation-building efforts in Afghanistan were "misguided" and that international forces would be unable to build a Western-style democracy there.
DFL Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar signed the letter, as did two Republicans, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Both were elected in 2010 with strong Tea Party support.
In a statement, Franken said the letter, "sends a statement that our patience is limited."

Five Years After Columbine
By George A. Ricker
In all the discussion and breast-beating about the shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., on April 20, 1999, some connections that should have been made were either overlooked or avoided by the media. Major broadcast networks and print media were too busy hyping the story and trotting out the usual assortment of sound bites, talking heads and heartrending personal anecdotes to engage in anything approaching thoughtful analysis of either the event or its causes.
It's true we live in a culture dominated by violent imagery. The more interesting issue is how we got that way. Maybe if we understand that, we'll have a better handle on what happened in Colorado.
Not long after the shootings, NBC aired its much-ballyhooed rendition of the story of Noah and the ark. In this biblical myth, the deity worshipped-- according to most polls--by a majority of the people in this nation commits the worst act of mass murder in the history of humankind by slaughtering every man, woman and child on the planet because of their sin and wickedness, except for Noah and his immediate family. Alongside Yahweh's temper tantrum, the atrocities committed by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, et. al., pale by comparison. None of them, after all, came within eight people of exterminating the entire human race. They weren't even close.
It always amazes me that, while deploring the violence depicted on television and in the movies, so many people are totally oblivious to the carnage in the collection of books they regard as sacred writ. If we are going to go into the business of banning violent media (and I don't suggest we should) --whether it be books, records, video games or whatever--the only sane place to begin is with the bible. Compared to the conduct of Yahweh, his prophets and followers, the depravities practiced by mere mortals, absent "divine" inspiration, are almost minor offenses. And nowhere in the developed world is that violent and depraved mythology given greater credence than here in the United States.
In his Age of Reason, Thomas Paine had this to say about the bible: "Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."
Perhaps one of the reasons we're such violent people isn't that we need more religion, as religionists are fond of suggesting, but that we have too much of it. After all, when the myths we claim to hold most sacred come to us dripping with blood, why should we be surprised by a little carnage in more mundane fare?
Meanwhile, we have turned war into a video game played in segments on the nightly news. In the 12 months preceding the shootings at Columbine High School, our nation launched missile and bomb attacks on four nations--Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Yugoslavia--and, while we were at it, accidentally hit a site in Pakistan.
Once the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001, had occurred, the administration responded by declaring a "war" on terrorism, followed in short order by the launching of a war on Afghanistan. In the spring of 2003 we invaded Iraq.
At a time when the U.S. government has substituted "smart" bombs for thoughtful diplomacy, why should we be surprised that some of our children adopt the same approach when dealing with the tensions and difficulties of adolescence?
How is it we were so astonished by the violence in Colorado?
If the adult leaders of this nation cannot resolve situations like those in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq without resorting to violence, and the deity said to be worshipped by many of our fellow citizens cannot deal with the beings it supposedly created except by resorting to violence and the threat of violence, why should we expect teenagers to deal with their problems any differently?
What happened in Colorado didn't happen because of a breakdown in our society. It happened because of values that are enshrined at its very core. Until we change them, we have no hope of dealing honestly with the tragedy at Columbine High School or preventing similar events from happening again.

Peabody Essex Museum Appoints First Curator of Contemporary Art
Released September 18, 2008
Salem, Mass. -The Peabody Essex Museum is pleased to announce the appointment of its first Curator of Contemporary Art, Trevor Smith. Smith's expertise and creativity will advance PEM's mission to present modern and contemporary art in the context of the museum's rich international history and collections.
"Trevor Smith's appointment as PEM's first Curator of Contemporary Art reflects a firm commitment to collecting, presenting, and interpreting the work of leading artists worldwide. We are especially excited by his ability to select and interpret the work of artists who illuminate our experience and our world in compelling ways," said Dan Monroe, Executive Director and CEO.
Smith has worked for organizations around the world, ranging from contemporary art spaces to large museums. His degree from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, was followed by diverse curatorial residencies and graduate studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, and Cité International des Arts, Paris. Based in Australia from 1992 to 2003, he worked first on the Biennale of Sydney and was Curator of Contemporary Art at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. From 2003 to 2006 he was a senior curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, where he co-curated the award-winning traveling exhibition Andrea Zittel: Critical Space. Most recently, he has been curator-in-residence at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, where he presented Martin Creed: Feelings in 2007.
Smith will develop exhibitions and collaborate with other curators to incorporate contemporary art into various exhibitions, public spaces and projects throughout the museum. His talent for creating lively connections across time, cultures and disciplines is among the many assets he brings to his post.
"When you have the privilege to work closely with artists, their work takes you on unexpected journeys and draws surprising connections that often lie outside of neat historical categories or political boundaries," says Smith. "I love the idea of being able to explore culture in its broadest possible aspects." His exhibition The Divine Comedy featured William Kentridge, a contemporary artist from South Africa, Francisco Goya and Buster Keaton, the silent film comedian, exemplifies the expansive thinking Smith brings to his shows. Among other artists with whom Smith has worked are Manfred Pernice, Robert MacPherson, Katerina Seda, Brian Jungen, Marko Peljhan, and David Goldblatt.
"Trevor's appointment is the result of an intensive search for a curator who could entice regional, national and international audiences to explore the most stimulating, transformative and even playful art of our time, as well as provide a fresh interpretive approach and strategic acquisitions for our collection. We are thrilled to welcome him to our very talented curatorial team," says Lynda Roscoe Hartigan, PEM's James B. and Mary Lou Hawkes Chief Curator.
Smith's appointment quickly follows that of Phillip Prodger, the museum's first full-time Curator of Photography, further demonstrating PEM's commitment to investigating contemporary and modern art in all its forms. Prodger will develop exhibitions and publications that provide fresh insight into photography, in some cases inspired by PEM's considerable photography collection.

Shutdown could impact INL regardless of Congress
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Up to 5,000 employees of the Idaho National Laboratory's three major contractors are still keeping an eye on Washington, D.C., regardless of what happens on Capitol Hill this week.
CWI employees said they were told in a meeting Tuesday there could be a lapse of time between congressional action on the partial shutdown of the federal government and the DOE's decision to reverse its shut-down orders.
The Department of Energy ordered a shut-down of various contractor operations last week. Those orders take effect Friday at Battelle Energy Alliance and Monday at CWI. It is unknown when furloughs go into effect for Idaho Treatment Group workers.

There are a few things All Black coach Steve Hansen is already sure about on the eve of the 2013 international season which, as is the way of the modern cycle, marks the beginning of the 2015 World Cup build-up.
He knows the All Blacks won't be the first to successfully defend their title if they go to England with an inexperienced side. He knows they won't win it with a team full of old legs and he knows the All Blacks have to grow and improve their attacking game. He also knows there will be skills they need to develop - not so much to enhance their offering but to defend what others are likely to be doing in 2015.
"We have looked at where we need to be situated in 2015," says Hansen. "We need to have experience. But we know we can't make that experience all old, as in ageing players.When we look at that team (All Blacks World Cup squad 2015), we want to believe there will be a lot of experience in it, a lot of youth in it and, I don't want to put an age on this, a good mixture of seasoned players who are in their prime as opposed to players coming down the other side.
"That's one thing we have to get right because if we go into the World Cup with an inexperienced team, then we are going to battle. If we go into it with a team that is full of weary legs, we are going to battle. We have to go into it with a team that is energised but also has the experience to cope with what we are going to have to deal with.
"The other thing is ... how do we want to play? That's looking into the future and asking what type of game is going to be played and what kind of skill sets are we going to need? Over the next 24 months, we will play around with things. There are somecore skills we really need. And some additional ones that we will bring that maybe other teams don't have."
It's the evolution of the personnel that will be the most challenging aspect of Hansen's role between now and September 2015. Today's announcement, which will see the original 38-man wider training squad reduced to 31, may not provide much indication of how Hansen sees the future. The series against the French is not the time to be overly experimental or bold.
Hansen wants to be faithful to those who served him well last year, regardless of their Super Rugby form, and he's also aware that with only six days before the first test in Auckland, he needs experience to deliver the victory. That's why Frank Halai, Tom Taylor, TJ Perenara and Brad Shields are likely to be omitted. They won't, however, necessarily sit on the discard pile for the remainder of the year.
These are players with World Cup prospects and, after the French series, the emphasis will shift; there will be a dual goal of managing the workloads of some of the older players while growing the experience of those emerging.
"There's a nice fit there because the older guys aren't going to be able to play as much rugby as they used to," says Hansen. "They are coming out of a really busy season so rotating them a little (is best). Using the hookers as an example, you involve Dane Coles in all the test matches and the other two (Keven Mealamu and Andrew Hore) have turnabout. We get to grow Dane Coles and we get to look after the (older) two. Then we have to make the decision about the older two when it is time.
"Richie (McCaw) having a sabbatical is great for Sam Cane because he will get to play all three tests at No 7, so he grows. Then when Richie comes back in, we can continue to grow Sam either by playing him off the bench or playing around with where we play individuals in the loose forwards."
Despite winning the World Cup with a starting team whose average age was close to 28, the All Blacks are not a band of geriatrics; 18 months on since they were crowned champions, they have undergone significant change in personnel. Hansen's desire to have experience tied up in younger legs is well under way.
Owen Franks will be 27 in 2015 with probably in excess of 70 caps. Sam Whitelock will be 26; he's already played 39 tests. Brodie Retallick will
be 24, no doubt having won close to 40 caps by then. Kieran Read will be in his absolute prime, aged 29 with most likely about 80 tests behind him. Then there are Aaron Smith, Aaron Cruden, Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea, Ben Smith and Israel Dagg - all in their mid-20s and all likely to have considerable experience by 2015.
Hansen has almost unimpeachable faith that his two talismen (McCaw and Daniel Carter) will reach 2015 every bit the world class players they've always been, leaving question marks over the two veteran hookers, plus Tony Woodcock, Ma'a Nonu, Conrad Smith, Piri Weepu and Cory Jane. These are the men who could, a little like the recently retired Ali Williams, suddenly look old. These are the men who could hit the wall any time between now and the World Cup, quickly losing the edge, hunger, speed and passion required to thrive in test rugby.
Hansen won't make premature judgements on any but nor will he shirk from pulling the pin on their respective careers if that's what he feels needs to be done.
"It's a process we have to go through," he says. "The guys who are a bit older now, we will work out over the next 18-24 months who is going to make it and who isn't. Time will tell. We have already seen Ali (Williams) make a good decision and I think the other guys will follow - they will also know when it is time ... and we will know when it is time. If we work together, then we will make the right decisions for the team."
Hansen's credentials as a selector have been impeccable since he took the top job in late 2011. But 2013 will ask questions of his tactical expertise: can he keep the All Blacks a step ahead of the chasing pack?
There were signs at the end of last year that someof the All Blacks' attacking ploys were old news; certainly England had them worked out and Australia, too, lost much of their fear and trepidation about playing New Zealand.
Innovation and advancement are the qualities Hansen has to deliver not only this year, but all the way through to theWorld Cup. The instant a side stops evolving is the moment they become vulnerable.
The recent training camps were an opportunity to set down some basic principles for the June series and establish the need for new elements to be introduced to the All Blacks' attack.
"From last year, we will change a few things around but also keep a lot of what we did," says Hansen. "It gives you a good springboard to improve your game but the basic intention will still be to play a high intensity game that will ask others to play at that same speed. That is what is good for our athletes. We are not a team that wants to grind away, grind away because that's not our natural game."
Much harder for the All Blacks is trying to predict what others will be doing by 2015. The All Blacks can't dismiss patterns and trends that develop elsewhere, as it leaves them ill-equipped to counter the threat of other contenders.
"We have got an idea about how we want to play but we have to think about how other people are going to be playing," says Hansen. "What skill sets are we going to need to combat that? Think back to 2009 and we were terrible under the high ball but we won the World Cup semifinal with a performance that was all about taking the high ball. Cory Jane was simply outstanding. We knew after 2009 that was a skill set we really had to hone.
"Now, looking at 2015, we have to ask what are the skill sets we will encounter from other people. Driving lineouts are something that New Zealand sides are pretty ordinary at. We need to develop a skill set that can cope with that so we can shut that down. And our own game will continue to grow so we can challenge other sides."

Auckland's famous Victoria Park Market needs a rescue plan to confirm the big future tenants were promised.
As an escape from the bustle of the city, there could hardly be a better place than Victoria Park Market. As I sat for 10 minutes at one of the concrete tables one morning last week, only a sparrow disturbed the tranquillity.
It was a weekday, admittedly, but as I wandered around, my footsteps echoed off glass frontages of empty shops, where aluminium joinery has made a jarringly unhappy marriage with Victorian brickwork. Glum faces peered from empty shops. In one, selling tacky souvenirs, a sign offered "50% off everything".
It was a far cry from the market's feted opening in the early 1980s, when a "celebrity walk" of handprints in concrete seemed terribly sophisticated.
Like the extinct Cook St and Browns Mill markets, VPM had tie-dyed T-shirts, sarongs and incense by the yard. But there was also clothing labelled "designer" and the novelty of espresso coffee.
A line of stalls sold cheap ready-cooked Asian food, which was new to me.
Gradually, through the 90s, VPM became a $2-shop precinct. Customers stayed away, retailers left, rats moved in. These days the rats have gone, but the customers are still staying away and some retailers are leaving or on the point of leaving.
The $120-million redevelopment launched in 2008 became $20 million when the credit crunch hit. Four years ago, developer David Henderson, the man behind the Princes Wharf Hilton Hotel, was declared bankrupt. Inland Revenue came after him too.
The bank cooked up a rescue package. Stage 1 of the development opened in late 2011, and stage 2 in March last year. But business is not so much booming as whimpering.
Henderson, the kind of man newspapers like to euphemistically describe as colourful, is still working at the market, though his bankrupt status prevents him from having a management role. He remains bullishly, even aggressively, protective of the enterprise, however, and loses no time in telling me that he's sick of "negative reporters".
When I ask him about the discontent of retailers who say that the place is a commercial disaster, he professes to have no idea what I am talking about and refers to building delays as if they were a minor hiccup, before enlarging on the glittering future just around the corner.
I heard the same thing in 2012. Reviewing a restaurant in Drake St, overlooking the market, for this paper's Sunday sister, I inquired about the forlorn and empty state of the market and a flash boy from a leasing firm scorned my negativity and promised imminent glory days.
For the tenants who spoke to me (anonymously; they have enough problems as it is) the glory days have been too long coming. "People are throwing their keys on the counter and walking away," says one. "Some of them have spent many tens of thousands on fitting out."
Another tells me that there is not, and never has been, an overarching vision of what the place is (the archaic "VPM 1905" brand is unfortunate as well as inaccurate; what was built in 1905 was a rubbish destructor) and the chances of imposing one are slim now that the place has been sold off as more than three dozen individual titles.
Many tenants signed up on the back of promises that the place would be fully operational for the 2011 Rugby World Cup and that tourist buses would roll up in endless processions.
But Aucklanders steer clear of places where tourists go (when did you last browse through the sheepskin rugs and All Black kit in the shops at the foot of Queen St?). What's more, cruise-ship passengers are notoriously shy of food outlets; fed and watered on board, they don't eat and drink.
It may be, of course, that great days are just around the corner. Henderson tells me that "professional managers" have just been appointed. I hear a press release comes out tomorrow, but nobody returned my calls about that.
But experienced heads have looked the place over (restaurateur and 2013 mayoral contender John Palino and Andrew Davies, who created Ponsonby Central) and walked away. "I don't know how to fix it," the latter told me.
It's not public money that's at stake here, although individuals and their families are hurting. But it's not too much to say that this is part of Auckland's history that is under threat. Any plans - or rescue efforts - need to bear in mind that there is a public interest as well as a private one.

CONTACT: Justin Hoyt, (518) 629-7898, firstname.lastname@example.com
FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Thursday, Dec. 1, 2011
The Hudson Valley Community College football team had six players earning All-Region honors. Nick Gilbo (Moriah Central/Port Henry) freshman linebacker and Matt Fallico (Fayetteville-Manlius/Syracuse) sophomore linebacker were the two representatives on the defensive side of the ball. Gilbo was tied for second in the conference, averaging 9.0 tackles per game and finishing with 72 total tackles. He also led the Vikings with five sacks on the year. Fallico finished seventh in the conference with 7.2 tackles per game, and recorded two sacks and one forced fumble.
Nick Pedrotti (West Genesee/Syracuse) sophomore offensive lineman, C.J. Jones (Woodbridge/Baltimore, MD) freshman running back, Dexter Green (N. Myrtle Beach (SC)/Syracuse) sophomore wide receiver and Josh Gross (Old Mill/Glen Burnie, MD) freshman tight end rounded out the All-Region Offensive Team. Pedrotti helped anchor the offensive line, playing in all eight games this season. Jones led the team with 406 yards on the ground and four touchdowns on the season. Leading the team in all-purpose yardage and finishing fourth in the conference was wide receiver and kick return specialist Green. Green averaged 110.8 all-purpose yards each game and 18.4 yards in the kick return game. Gross led the team in receiving yards and finished third in the conference with 49.0 yards per game. He also had a team-high three receiving touchdowns on the year.

Council Runners Speak Up About Quiet Race
In each of the two City Council races for the seats that cover Rockaway there's a confident incumbent, and a hopeful, but unproven challenger. All four men spoke recently to The Wave about issues, and the progress of their campaign.
Running in the 31 councilmanic district is Democratic incumbent City Councilman Joseph Addabbo, Jr., and Republican challenger Michael Mossa, a real estate attorney and insurance broker.
In the 32 councilmanic district there's Democratic incumbent City Councilman James Sanders, Jr., and Republican challenger Everly Brown, a developer.
"We want to have a good win," said a confident Addabbo about his race. He told voters, at this week's meeting of the Rockaway Beach Civic Association, that there is a correlation between the voter turnout from a given community and the amount of services it gets from the city. He also addressed "voter apathy," by saying he hopes people are interested enough to turn out in high numbers.
Sanders said the same of his race when he spoke with The Wave before his unusual primary, in which he defeated the same challenger that he will face in the general election. He said he needed a "mandate from the people." He also spoke about his achievements as chair of the Economic Development Committee, and a recent multimillion-dollar plan that will benefit his constituents in Springfield Gardens. He said the voters could reelect him based on his record, or side with Brown and his "nebulous promises."
Brown told The Wave that he is running "to give voters a choice." The candidate held a rally against crime last Sunday, on Central Avenue, which was attended by a few dozen people. The Brown campaign said the rally was "festive," and had "positive religious overtones."
Meanwhile, Mossa is challenging Addabbo largely on the issue of property tax. "I'm taking the message to the property owners…that's the tie that binds us," he said.
Mossa said he has been going door-to-door in Belle Harbor, and visited Waldbaum's to introduce himself to voters. He accused Addabbo of "beating the liberal tax and spend drum," and said, "We're starting an anti-tax movement."
Addabbo said his challenger's logic is flawed. "It's foolish to say 'I'm going to repeal taxes,' because it means cuts in services," he said.
Each candidate will be featured in The Wave during the last two weeks of October.

More details emerging from the new NHL CBA, plus the latest on Marian Gaborik, Ryan O'Reilly, Lubomir Visnovsky, Andrej Meszaros and more.
THE GLOBE AND MAIL: Chris Johnston of Canadian Press reports a 48-game schedule beginning January 19 appears more likely as the NHL and NHLPA scramble to ratify the new collective bargaining agreement. The NHL Board of Governors is scheduled to meet Wednesday in New York to vote for ratification, while it could take until this weekend before a vote of the 740-member NHLPA to be completed, as a number of players are currently returning to their respective teams. James Mirtle and Sean Gordon, meanwhile, explain the gulf between the rich and poor NHL teams will only widen during this new CBA.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Put simply, the increase in revenue sharing from $150 million to $200 million won't do much to alleviate the problems facing the money-losing franchises. Also, the salary cap remains tied to revenues, meaning if, as Mirtle noted in an earlier column, the league see an average five percent growth in revenue between the first and eighth year of this new CBA, the salary cap ceiling could reach $80 million, and the cap floor close to $64 million.
ESPN.COM: Pierre LeBrun reports on some more details emerging from the new CBA. One is teams will be allowed to absorb up to 50% of a player's salary and cap hit to facilitate a trade. "Also, only up to 15 percent of your upper limit cap amount can be used up by the money you have retained in trades", write LeBrun. Also, in what's now being called "The Luongo Rule" (referring to the trading of a player on a heavily front-loaded contract), "for any contract in excess of six years, both teams involved in a trade on a contract like Luongo's would be penalized if he retired before the end of his deal." Also, if those players are never traded but retire before the end of their contract, "their current teams get charged the cap savings spread evenly over the remaining years of the deal." There will also be a UFA interview period, starting from the end of the NHL entry draft up to June 30th, allowing potential UFA players to meet and interview with interested clubs.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: You can feel the fingerprints of Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke all over the trading of salary and cap space and in the penalties for teams moving players with heavily front-loaded contracts…though it would be ironic if he traded for Roberto Luongo, whom the rule is named after. I like the idea of an interview period for pending UFAs. It could cut down on the number of bad signings made in the free agent market, and help players find the right fit.
CBC.CA: Elliotte Friedman goes into great detail explaining "the Luongo rule", aka "the cap recapture system". (Caution, math ahead!)
NATIONAL POST: Craig Wong of Canadian Press suggests the lockout could change how sponsors conduct their business with the NHL.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: One reason the NHL insisted on a ten-year CBA was to try to soothe the nerves of those sponsors upset over yet another lockout. It remains to be seen what impact the lockout, and the period of the next CBA, has upon sponsors, both existing and those the league hopes to woo.
BOSTON GLOBE: Kevin Paul Dupont reports the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks were among the teams "leading the charge" against lengthy, heavily front-loaded contracts. One player agent wondered why the league didn't push harder for reforms in other areas, such as "no-trade" clauses and the age level for free agency. Dupont also noted the owners didn't attempt to eliminate or amend guaranteed contracts. The same agent believes league commissioner Gary Bettman "ignored the input of hockey people", especially the general managers. Dupont also muses on Bettman no longer being commissioner when the new CBA expires, possibly stepping aside for deputy commissioner Bill Daly, and cited a league source saying there will be some members of the Board of Governors who won't be happy with this new agreement.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: The new CBA requires approval of 16 of the 30 members of the BoG for ratification. That's not expected to be a problem, for while there may be those unhappy with the agreement, they're not going to scuttle it. As for those areas where the NHL didn't push for reform, expect those points to become hot button issues in eight-ten years time.
DETROIT NEWS: Gregg Krupa also sees issues emerging from this new CBA (revenue-sharing, rising salary cap floor, lack of a long-term business plan) which could threaten another lockout in 8-10 years time.
PUCK DADDY: Greg Wyshynski reports NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed there won't be any expansion of the NHL playoff format for this season, and doesn't think it is being contemplated beyond this season.
LOS ANGELES TIMES: The Kings are looking forward to their season opener, where they'll raise their first Stanley Cup championship banner. They could be doing it without Anze Kopitar in the lineup, who recently suffered a sprained right knee during a game in Sweden on Saturday. Goaltender Jonathan Quick, who underwent off-season back surgery, is expected to be ready to go for the season opener.
MLIVE.COM: The Detroit Red Wings may have to wait until next season to retire Nicklas Lidstrom's number 5.
NEW YORK POST: Marian Gaborik claims he's fully recovered from off-season shoulder surgery and will be ready to go for the NY Rangers season opener.
THE DENVER POST: The Colorado Avalanche must not waste time re-signing RFA center Ryan O'Reilly.
PHILLY.COM: It remains to be seen if Flyers defenseman Andrej Meszaros, who's recovering from surgery on his right Achilles tendon, will be ready to go for the start of this shortened season. Forward Daniel Briere, who suffered a bruised bone and sprain of his left wrist playing in Germany, hopes to be ready to play for the opener.
NEWSDAY: NY Islanders defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky said he wants to remain in his home country of
Slovenia Slovakia and play in the KHL for the remainder of the season, but NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the KHL and NHL have a transfer agreement which must be honored.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: We'll find out soon enough if the KHL intends to honor it. If they do, Visnovsky has no choice but to return to the NHL. The KHL has honored that agreement since it was implemented after the Alexander Radulov fiasco over four years ago.
PHOENIX BUSINESS JOURNAL: Greg Jamison, prospective buyer of the Phoenix Coyotes, seeks possible NHL financing to complete the purchase of the club before the end of January.

Miley Cyrus Talks About Liam Hemsworth Engagement, Confronting Justin Bieber
Miley Cyrus isn't having doubts about her engagement to Liam Hemsworth, she reveals in a new interview with Elle UK. "We have a house together and dogs. It just seems right to be wearing this ring and to be committed," says the singer. "But," she adds, "we keep our relationship low-key and don't talk about it any more."
Cyrus goes on to reflect about living such a public lifestyle, and why she's decided to start holding back a bit. "We were too nice to the world and gave them too much insight — into my life and my puppies and my house — and I just don't feel they get that privilege any more," says the former "Hannah Montana" star. She continues, "Like on my Twitter, I'm much more… not conservative, but you don't see a picture of my dogs. You don't get that personal stuff any more."
With newfound perspective, Cyrus reveals she gave some tough love to longtime friend Justin Bieber. "I noticed he was taking all these photos of people and doing a lot of sh*t, and I just grabbed him and said, 'Just take a snapshot in your brain of this moment, so you don't forget," recalls Cyrus.
"I don't remember my Hannah Montana movie premiere — and my 3D movie trumped everyone's at the box office — I don't remember being there," she explains. "All I remember from that night is that I stopped and got a strawberry milkshake beforehand. That's all." "It's crazy. You think you're in the present but you're not," Cyrus says. The full interview, in British Elle's June issue, hits newsstands May 1.

Endless Journey Beyond HTML version
World raising battle
I was born free in this world engaging in battle of wit to find people, who fit,
I keep on going to find myself changing in this world unfit for people who sit.
Love to watch them dying, I can feel them crying but do they?
Hope I can see the sunny side chasing, the winds I am facing around in the world I stay
There are dreams I am raising like the winds I am chasing,
I feel my wings are changing; emotions are ranging from high to low.
I think to myself how would they know?
The world unholy, rage eating this world so slowly,
They are playing with people's feeling,
Still the wounds are healing, fast and slow,
Can you see the glow in the faces of people of all races?
Still I walk this road wandering where they all go,
Before the morning sun casts its first shadow,
Do I hide below the dreams I am staging for the world engaging in battle since ages ago?
I answer this question with little doubt in retrospection,
I rise to the occasion, take the world to the right station,
Make them realize that it was the battle they lost,
Everyone will rise to face the battle at sight every day and night.
Peace at last, still people question the authority asking when they will know.

Arcades Ambo
Towards midnight at last Sir Crispin flung down his cards and rose. It was close upon an
hour and a half since Hogan's advent. In the streets the sounds had gradually died down,
and peace seemed to reign again in Penrith. Yet was Sir Crispin cautious - for to be
cautious and mistrustful of appearances was the lesson life had taught him.
"Master Stewart," said he, "it grows late, and I doubt me you would be abed. Give you
good night!"
The lad rose. A moment he paused, hesitating, then -
"To-morrow, Sir Crispin - " he began. But Crispin cut him short.
"Leave to-morrow till it dawn, my friend. Give you good night. Take one of those
noisome tapers with you, and go."
In sullen silence the boy took up one of the candle-bearing bottles and passed out through
the door leading to the stairs.
For a moment Crispin remained standing by the table, and in that moment the expression
of his face was softened. A momentary regret of his treatment of the boy stirred in him.
Master Stewart might be a milksop, but Crispin accounted him leastways honest, and had
a kindness for him in spite of all. He crossed to the window, and throwing it wide he
leaned out, as if to breathe the cool night air, what time he hummed the refrain of `Rub-a-
dub-dub' for the edification of any chance listeners.
For a half-hour he lingered there, and for all that he used the occasion to let his mind
stray over many a theme, his eyes were alert for the least movement among the shadows
of the street. Reassured at last that the house was no longer being watched, he drew back,
and closed the lattice.
Upstairs he found the Irishman seated in dejection upon his bed, awaiting him.
"Soul of my body!" cried Hogan ruefully, "I was never nearer being afraid in my life."
Crispin laughed softly for answer, and besought of him the tale of what had passed.
"Tis simple enough, faith," said Hogan coolly. "The landlord of The Angel hath a
daughter maybe 'twas after her he named his inn - who owns a pair of the most seductive
eyes that ever a man saw perdition in. She hath, moreover, a taste for dalliance, and my
brave looks and martial trappings did for her what her bold eyes had done for me. We
were becoming the sweetest friends, when, like an incarnate fiend, that loutish clown, her
lover, sweeps down upon us, and, with more jealousy than wit, struck me - struck me,
Harry Hogan! Soul of my body, think of it, Cris!" And he grew red with anger at the

Here we are in : Sapphire Princess Cruise Review by KrsJms
Overall Member Rating
Here we are in
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
I have been on 2 Carnival cruises, 1 Royal Caribbean and 1 Princess cruise, so not an expert but I have some opinions... I liked Royal Caribbean the best and then I think Carnival would have to be 2nd (they are Funships...). That's just More because there were quite a bit more older people on this cruise and there were less activities geared towards my age group (i'm 30- no kids). The food wasn't any better than the other two cruise lines. It was good, I just thought it might be a little better and it wasn't. My favorite meal was lobster night, and the salmon was pretty good. (salmon was available every night) My favorite dessert was the mud pie on the last night.
We did the traditional dining, but we ate in the Santa Fe and the Savoy dining rooms a couple of times. I really liked the Savoy. I have to say that the service in all of the dining rooms was good. Seems like it was faster in the Santa Fe, but that could just be because it was still a little early that day. We only had to wait for a table one time and it was only about 20 minutes. They give you a pager just like at land based restaurants so you don't have to just sit and wait by the dining room. That was nice. I did find out that since we had traditional dining that we could not make reservations in the other dining rooms. Not a big deal, just something that I didn't know before the cruise.
The ship was really nice and clean, EXCEPT almost every restroom, including the one in our cabin, smelled like urine. They really need to switch to bleach or something to get rid of the odor. Also, our toilet wouldn't flush one night and it was like 11:30 pm so I called the front desk and they had someone come fix it within 30 minutes. Then they followed up with a call the next morning to ensure it had been fixed. They earned points for the follow up.
We went to the gym a couple of times during our cruise and it was decent. Pretty busy in the mornings though. There was always room by the pools, finding a lounge chair was easy, but that's because it was COLD! A few crazies at the pool, just determined to get some sun no matter what. We did get a couple of nice days, but it was still slightly chilly.
The pictures were good, but not $25 for 1 8x10 good. I think it was a shameful waste of pictures for them to take 6 different poses at each backdrop, and then just throw them away. I'm sorry, I just can't afford to spend $120+ for pictures. I bought one and the guy looked at me like I was crazy! If they were priced a little more reasonably, I would have purchased more and probably spent more than the $25 that I did, so they're losing money, I mean the pictures were already printed...
All of the ports were nice but again, it wasn't Mexico! At least I don't live in California. I feel for those people from San Diego or San Fran who drove to LA just to sail right back home. I guess if you forgot a toothbrush that would be convenient but geez!
The highlight of the trip for me was the way out of San Fran. I had never been there and it was just beautiful. It was starting to get dark and the Golden Gate bridge was all lit up and the full moon was out...just gorgeous. Too bad the camera takes crappy pictures at night! Haha! I guess I'll just have to buy a postcard.
All in all, we had a good trip. I probably wouldn't sail with Princess again except for they gave us 50% of what we paid for this cruise off of a future cruise, so I guess I'll have to take advantage of that...darn...
Oh! and one final though...I totally missed the towel animals! :o( Less

Nice size closet and plenty of space to put stuff. Bathroom normal, but smelled. Very quiet area. We never heard crew noises or noise from when we were pulling into port. Beds were a little uncomfortable, but I didn't really lose any sleep over it.

The Contra Proposal
Hacking into a Contra cartridge Redditor EquinnoxX was able to modify the game to propose to his girlfriend in an unforgettable way. Posting images of his work on Imgur EquinnoxX quickly explains the process to his proposal "I bought Contra, dumped the ROM, hex edited the file, flashed it to a new ROM chip and soldered it all back together."
He then changed the player names and the ending text to say "you've beat the game saved the universe and won my heart. Will you marry me…" Explaining the lack of a question mark in his ending credit proposal. "There is also no question mark character anywhere in the game so I went with the ellipsis. I could have made one and replaced another character with it but it was more involved and I didn't have the time. Maybe in the re-release when we renew our vows in 20 years."
She said yes! "To the purists who cringe when they see a hacked up cart," says EquinnoxX, "relax, it was for a good cause."

How to install and use Delphi 7 and help files on Windows 8/10 or Server 2012.
Start Delphi setup and install all required items including help files.
In Windows 8/10/Server 2012 or later (should work on Windows 7 too):
- Create the shortcut to Delphi32.exe
- Open shortcut properties and set "run as administrator" option
- Add Delphi to the of DEP (Data Execution Prevention). Go to My Computer - Properties - Advanced System Settings - Performance Settings - Data Execution Prevention
- Check that Delphi 7 started correctly
- In case of problem set the compatibility "Windows XP SP2" in shortcut options (not recommended)
Delphi HLP files
Since Windows Vista the WinHlp32.exe program isn't more supported. You should download corresponding version from Microsoft web site and install it. For example:
WinHlp32.exe for Windows 7
WinHlp32.exe for Windows 8
Unfortunately, there is no official way to install WinHlp32 on Windows Server 2012 and Windows 10. The only workaround is to copy it from an other system. In my case I take it from my old Windows XP SP3 (32 bits). Later versions extracted from Win7/Win8 packages don't work for me.
You must have the rights of administrator to do following actions:
- Go to Windows folder
- Find existing WinHlp32 file and open its properties
- In security tab add your user name with full rights
- Rename this file to winhlp32.exe.bak
- Copy WinHlp32.exe instead
From now Delphi 7 help works fine!
P.S. Cohabit fine with Delphi XE 10.x on the same machine.

Manufacturer: Collegiate (View all products by Collegiate)
Model: Jessica (View all Jessica Dressage Saddle reviews)
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle from Calabasas Saddlery in LA on a whim just before a big show. I paid $750 - it was lightly used.
Likes: I love this saddle. It's easily one of the most comfortable I've ever used, with a lovely deep seat and extremely soft leather. I don't have knee blocks and don't think I'd even want them, as it's easy to have a nice upright position with this saddle.
Dislikes: The leather dye seems to have rubbed off a bit under the stirrup leathers, but as it's concealed by my leg, it doesn't bother me all that much. Also, I have found the seat to be a bit slippery with some types of breeches, which is more of a problem with the breeches than the saddle.
Quality: Really quality construction. Clearly all the leather was high quality as well as the workmanship.
Summary: I love this saddle (as do many of my friends who've used it)!

J Brand Stella High Rise Wide Leg
Retail: $257
Price: $77.10
Discount: 70%
Here's a pair of wide-leg jeans from J Brand. I can see them worn casually with a loose-fitting top or even worn to work because of the versatile dark wash. I don't have any experience with J Brand, but according to the Ultimate Denim Sizing Guide, they usually run about one size small. You might be able to go true to size with these too, but definitely don't size down because you don't want the high rise to cut into your torso.

The 2005 Acorn Award winner is Dr. Charlie Sweet, Foundation professor and interim chair of EKU?s Department of English and Theatre.
Sweet joined the EKU English faculty in 1970, intending to stay only about five years.
?Nobody stays in the same job for 36 years if they don?t love their job,? Sweet said. ?The one thing that always stands out is at the graduation ceremonies when the president asks all the first generation college kids to stand. I came out of that idealistic ?60s generation that felt it could really make a difference.?
And make an impact he has ? not only on the lives of his students but also on his EKU colleagues and his profession.
?Simply put, Dr. Sweet is a students? teacher,? said Marlowe Moore, a graduate student in English/creative writing. ?What adds to Dr. Sweet?s uniqueness ? is his constant challenge to himself and to his students to strive for personal and professional growth.
?He truly likes to see his students succeed, and he consistently works to that end ? much to the benefit of the English Department and the entire university.?
At the same time he has drawn the best out of his students, he has helped countless colleagues improve their own teaching skills.
?He has personally observed the classes and mentored all of the new teachers in the department,? said Dr. Paula Kopacz, professor of English. ?He researched and devised an assessment rubric for these observations so that teaching became a professional skill in our department rather than merely a subjective opinion.
?He has set a standard of high teaching expectations for all of us, and has not left the classroom in order to raise the bar,? added Kopacz, who team-taught an American Literature course with Sweet. ?No one knows more than Dr. Sweet about gothic literary conventions and the history and analysis of the short story genre, but he doesn?t lecture students. He asks leading questions, phrased in such a way that students can answer them, and he draws out of them information they didn?t realize they had. It really is a marvelous gift.?
President Glasser said: ?Dr. Sweet is richly deserving of the Acorn Award because he demonstrates the very best in teaching, service and scholarship, and cares so deeply about his students and his work. He is known as an innovator and a teacher of boundless energy (and) he always seems to find the time to work with students in his office or mentor younger colleagues toward more effective teaching.
?He represents what is best about EKU and his profession," Glasser added, "and all of us feel a sense of pride that he has received such a prestigious honor.?
Sweet said he finds it difficult, if not impossible, to define his teaching style.
?I have been outside and inside so many boxes that I can only be descriptive,? he said.
One of the keys to his rapport with students is his mastery of pop culture. He cites as examples the television show ?24,? which uses ?the unity of time that Aristotle proposed,? and rap music, which ?has the basic rhyme scheme of Neoclassic poetry.
?While I am building from what they know to the great unknown, I am insinuating myself into their world in order to break down their preconceptions that college professors are the original Geek Squad.?
Sweet?s publications ?run the gamut from the creative to the critical, from the theoretical to precise analysis of particular works,? said his EKU colleague and long-time mystery writing partner, Dr. Hal Blythe, an Acorn Award recipient in 1996.
Sweet has more than 600 items in print, including nine books, with his 10th and 11th books in production, and ?stands at the cutting edge of so much teaching theory,? Blythe said. For example, Sweet created for New Forums Press a series of non-theoretical books offering practical teaching tips.
Under Sweet?s leadership, EKU has launched a low-residency Master of Fine Arts program in Creative Writing.
In addition to Sweet and Blythe, EKU health education professor Dr. Merita Thompson also earned an Acorn Award.
?The real strength of EKU is its dedicated faculty,? Sweet said. ?If a student goes to EKU, he or she has the potential to have a tenure-track professor in every course.?
Sweet received his bachelor?s degree from Washington & Lee University, and his master?s and doctoral degrees from Florida State University.
Thousands are expected for a weekend full of floats, football, family fun and fellowship.
?Eastern is fortunate to have so many loyal alumni and friends,? said Jackie Collier, alumni relations director. ?It?s always exciting to see them back on campus to reconnect with their friends and the University.?
One of the weekend?s highlights will be the President?s Gala on Friday, Sept. 23, a black-tie event celebrating the announcement of EKU?s first Capital Campaign and the University?s Centennial. The Gala will be held on campus at the Fitness and Wellness Center. A 6 p.m. reception will be followed at 6:45 p.m. by dinner. All alumni are invited to attend. Tickets are $25 per person for the formal dinner, which includes post-dinner entertainment by The Sensations. To receive more information on registration or for questions about the Gala, e-mail Kara Covert in the Development Office at email@example.com.
Other Friday activities include a Student Government Association/Alumni softball game and reunions for Student Alumni Ambassadors, Beta Omicron Gamma and Beta Theta Pi.
Activities on Saturday, Sept. 24, include the annual Homecoming ?Run, Walk or Roll? and the Centennial Homecoming Parade at 11 a.m. along the traditional Lancaster Avenue-Main Street route. For race entry information, call 859-622-8145.
The largest tailgate party on campus, the Colonel Country Tailgate, follows from noon to 2:30 p.m. in the Alumni Coliseum Parking Lot. The event will feature booths sponsored by campus clubs, organizations and departments; entertainment; and a variety of foods from on- and off-campus vendors and restaurants. In addition, numerous campus departments and organizations have scheduled reunion events Saturday, including the Departments of Technology; Agriculture; and Family and Consumer Sciences; the College of Justice & Safety; Kappa Delta; Kappa Alpha Theta; Sigma Nu; and the Honors Program.
At 3 p.m., the Colonels will take on Ohio Valley Conference rival Tennessee Tech at Roy Kidd Stadium. The coronation of a Homecoming king and queen will be held at halftime.

Rosmus, a native of Passau, Germany, will present ?Seeking Equilibrium with Open Eyes: Unveiling Passau?s Denial? on Thursday, Sept. 22, at 7:30 p.m. in the Student Services Building Auditorium. The program is free and open to the public.
For more than 20 years, Rosmus has investigated the role Passau played in the Holocaust, beginning with research for a national high school essay contest. The facts she uncovered contradicted the commonly held belief that the town resisted the Nazis.
She discovered that her picture-perfect Bavarian community had been intimately involved in the Third Reich. Almost all of the city?s prominent families were members of the Nazi party long before it came to power. Passau's Jews were forced out of town and their property confiscated. Eight concentration camps were established in the area.
Once she started investigating, Rosmus didn't stop. Her essay won the competition and in 1983 she published her first book, ?Resistance and Persecution in Passau from 1933 to 1939,? for which she won the prestigious German Geschwister-Scholl Award. Since then she has written numerous books and articles, including ?Against the Stream: Growing Up Where Hitler Used to Live,? ?Wintergreen: Suppressed Murders? and ?Out of Passau: Leaving a City Hitler Called Home." She has been featured on ?60 Minutes? in two Morley Safer profiles and was the subject of a recent documentary film which was shown throughout Germany, ?Passau-Washington: The Nasty Girl in America.?
Rosmus has won many awards for her heroism, including the Galinski Prize, the highest honor bestowed by the German Jewish community. She has also received the American Society of Journalists and Authors? Conscience in Media Award, the Anti-Defamation League?s Sarnat Prize for those who fight anti-Semitism, the prestigious Tucholsky Death Mask, and the Holocaust Survivors and Friends? Holocaust Memorial Award.
Her attempts to bring home Passau's expelled Jews and few Holocaust survivors and to commemorate the forgotten Jews of Passau inspired the 1990 film ?The Nasty Girl,? by Michael Verhoeven. The film will be shown on campus Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 6:30 p.m. in Room 108 of the Crabbe Library. The presentation, part of the Chautauqua Series and the International Cinema Series, is free and open to the public.
All donations and proceeds from the concert, from noon to 10 p.m. at Lake Reba?s Recreational Complex in Richmond, will go to Madison County?s Habitat for Humanity and its Operation Home Delivery, a program to help rebuild homes along the Gulf Coast.
Suggested donation is $10.
Each act will perform for an hour. The complete schedule follows:
Sponsors include the City of Richmond; Richmond Parks and Recreation Department; American Legion Post 79 of Irvine, Post 7 of Frankfort and Post 8 of Lexington; Jettlane Productions and Hype. Anyone interested in sponsoring equipment-rental costs for the concert can contact Wendy Barnett-Brock at 859-200-0492.
Habitat for Humanity of Madison County will hold its ninth annual "Building on Faith" blitz build Sept. 17-25 Richmond for the Mackey family of 416 Elm St. Building begins at 8:30 a.m. and lunches are provided to volunteers. For more information, call Ashley Morgan at 859-625-9208.
Fall Career Day, sponsored by the divisions of Career Services and Cooperative Education and WEKU-FM, will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Keen Johnson Ballroom. Students and alumni from surrounding colleges and universities are also welcome to attend.
?This is an excellent opportunity for students and alumni to explore career options available to them and enhance their career prospects by meeting and networking with potential employers from a wide range of career fields,? said Amanda Tudor, assistant director of EKU?s Division of Career Services. ?It is a well-rounded event that assists first-year students with learning more about the job market. At the same time, it offers seniors and alumni great exposure to professional contacts and provides employers with an opportunity to promote their job openings to qualified candidates.?
A frequently updated list of employers planning to attend the event is available at the EKU Career Services website, www.career.eku.edu.
Ample parking for Career Day is available in the Ashland Lot on Kit Carson Drive across the Eastern By-pass from Roy Kidd Stadium. A shuttle service will transport guests to and from the Keen Johnson Building.
Other related events this fall are:
For more information about any of the events or services offered by EKU Career Services, call 622-1568 or visit www.career.eku.edu.
Students who have already paid tuition at another affected institution can enroll at EKU free of charge this semester. The University will work with interested students to address housing, textbook and meal plan arrangements.
Those storm-affected students not yet enrolled at another institution will be assessed EKU?s in-state tuition rate, as well as for books, meals, housing and other personal items. These individuals will be eligible for consideration for financial aid and scholarships.
EKU also will coordinate on a case-by-case basis any short- or long-term transitions for faculty members at any Gulf Coast schools temporarily closed by Katrina.
A hotline has been established for those students interested in learning more about EKU: 859-622-6454, or toll-free at 1-800-465-9191. Information can also be accessed via the University?s web site at www.eku.edu.
?This is just one of many ways the University, as well as many of our faculty, staff and students, are reaching out to assist those who have been affected by this terrible tragedy,? said President Glasser. ?We responded as quickly as possible after the disaster, but after further evaluation of the situation based on new information, we decided to alter our original plan.
?This is a very caring campus community,? Glasser continued, ?and we will work closely with these students to meet their individual needs, help them continue their educational pursuits and return some sense of normalcy to their lives.?
Already, at least three undergraduate students and one graduate student displaced by the hurricane have enrolled at EKU.
Approximately 200 bed spaces are available in EKU campus housing.
The campus community is responding to the tragedy in many ways:
?Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those who have been affected by Hurricane Katrina,? Glasser said.
The program, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, in Library Room 108, is free and open to the public.
A professional artist whose medium of choice is watercolor, Lewis has illustrated many notable books, including ?Talkin? About Bessie: The Story of Aviator Elizabeth Coleman,? for which he won the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award, and ?Coming on Home Soon,? which was named a Caldecott Honor Book this year.
The presentation will be followed by a book-signing.
Films will be shown in Room 128 of the Crabbe Library at 3 p.m. Scheduled films are are:
All events are free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Center at 859-622-3065 or 859-622-1622.
Mark Welker
Chief of EKU Police
What would you most want the campus to know about EKU Police?
The EKU Police Department employs 24 sworn police personnel, three dispatchers, a senior office associate, and seven student cadets. In addition, the Parking and Transportation Department reports to the police chief?s office and it consists of an assistant director, four parking enforcement officers, one office supervisor, two office associates, and five motor vehicle operators.
We would also like the campus to know that since June of 2004 the department has undergone significant changes. In addition to a new police chief, there is a new assistant police chief, three new lieutenants, two new sergeants, a newly added detective, and several new officers and dispatchers.
What are some of your major challenges and initiatives this year?
In addition to the many personnel and organizational changes that have been made during the last year, the department has adopted a Community Police Philosophy that is reflected in our new mission statement: "The mission of the Eastern Kentucky University Police Department is to enhance the quality of life by providing a safe and secure environment through professional service to the community." The success of our mission depends on this partnership utilizing a community policing philosophy. The department places high priority on honesty and integrity and values the need for effective and open communications with the community we serve. We value our employees and are committed to their professional development.
We place a great deal of emphasis on training for our personnel and routinely explore opportunities to enhance their performance by introducing new training techniques, as well as updated technology.
What can individuals do to enhance their personal safety on campus?
The department operates on a 24-7, 365 days-a-year basis and is committed to providing proactive law enforcement services, such as high visibility mobile, bicycle, and foot patrols; incident response; investigations; crime prevention and detection programs; special event security; and traffic and crowd control.
Although the EKU Police Department is ready and willing to accept the challenges of providing a safe and secure learning, working and playing environment, we encourage everyone to participate in that effort by using good judgment when it comes to protecting themselves and their property. In fact, we like to think that every student, faculty, and staff member at EKU is our partner in increasing the quality of life and decreasing criminal activity.
Are there any services provided by EKU Police that you think are under-utilized?
The department offers a wide variety of programs that can assist the campus community by increasing their awareness about safety and security issues. One of our primary new initiatives for this year is to not only offer programs, but also promote them so that the community can take advantage of those learning opportunities.

Poll: Cory Booker leading Steve Lonegan in US Senate race in New Jersey
TRENTON, N.J. - A new poll shows Democrat Cory Booker with a 13-point lead over Republican Steve Lonegan in New Jersey's U.S. Senate race.
The Monmouth University poll out Tuesday found 53 percent of likely voters back Booker, while 40 percent support Lonegan. The special election will be held Oct. 16.
"Monmouth University's polls have consistently shown this race to be closer than most pundits thought it would be," said Patrick Murray, director, Monmouth University Polling Institute. "While Cory Booker's lead is relatively sizable, many voters have doubts about his motives in seeking this seat."
The poll found a plurality of 45 percent think the Newark mayor's ambitions are focused on grabbing the national spotlight, compared with 35 percent who think he wants to serve the state.
Booker led by 16 points in polls taken in August and June.
"Statewide, positive opinion of Cory Booker has been broad, but not necessarily deep. It's possible that Steve Lonegan's attacks have caused many voters to reconsider their opinion of Booker, even if they don't change their vote," said Murray.
The telephone survey of 571 likely voters was taken Sept. 26-29 and has an error margin of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- Bowling Green closed the game with a 12-1 run to hand the University of Michigan men's basketball team a 65-59 non-conference defeat on Wednesday (Nov. 28) at Anderson Arena. Junior forward LaVell Blanchard (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS) tied for game-high honors with 17 points, and senior center Chris Young (Plymouth, Mich./Catholic Central HS) added 10 to lead the Wolverines (2-2).
Michigan, which led 34-30 at halftime, fell behind early in the second half as the Falcons (4-1) opened the period with a 7-1 run that was capped by back-to-back buckets by Keith McLeod. Bowling Green maintained its lead and stretched it to six points (50-44) when Erik Crawford nailed a three-pointer with 7:38 to play.
However, the Wolverines then scored the next 10 points, including four each from Blanchard and Young, to take a 54-50 lead with 4:29 to play, and U-M seemed to have control of the game when a Blanchard jumper made it 58-53 with 3:15 left on the clock. But that basket was the last field goal for the Wolverines.
Bowling Green battled back with a three-point play from Len Matela, two free throws from Crawford and a layup by Matela to take the lead for good at 60-58 with 1:40 remaining, but the final dagger came from McLeod, whose three-pointer rimmed out and then back in with 29 seconds to play to make it a 63-58 Falcon lead. Bernard Robinson Jr. (Washington, D.C./New Hampton Prep, N.H.) hit one of two free throws to pull U-M within four, but McLeod made two foul shots with 0:10 left to ice the victory.
McLeod finished with 17 points, nine assists and six rebounds to lead the Falcons, who broke a five-game losing skid to the Wolverines and earned their first win in the series since the 1966-67 season.
Michigan returns home to face No. 15 Boston College on Saturday (Dec. 1) in Crisler Arena. The 2:30 p.m. contest will be regionally televised by CBS.

In 2003, his rich and resonant bass was heard to advantage in the role of Lorenzo (I Capuletti ed I Montecchi) under the baton of Sir Richard Bonynge. This appearance was one amongst many in major roles for English National Opera, which include Don Basilio in Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia; Dulcamara in Donizetti's l'Elisir d'amore; Somnus in Handel's Semele; Quince in Britten's Misummer Night's Dream; Collatinus in Britten's Rape of Lucretia; Poo-Bah in Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado; Sarastro in Mozart's Die Zauberfl÷te; Sacristan in Puccini's Tosca; Brag in Purcell's The Fairy Queen, Pistol in Verdi's Falstaff and Ribbing in Verdi's Un Ballo in maschera.

The aftermath of Bush's war in Iraq still lingers in the hearts of Americans. A new poll revealed that only 5% of Americans want US boots on the ground to aid Syrian rebels in their fight against President Bashar al-Assad and only 12% of Americans even suppor the idea of providing military assistance to the rebels. Why? The American public got burned by the lies and distorted logic offered by the Bush administration concerning why the need for war in Iraq.Once burned, twice cautious is the new belief among Americans. Secondly, the war in Syria is confusing, there is no clear cut group which, if triumphant, would establish a democratic society in Syria.
John McCain and fellow Republicans who want action NOW still do not grasp there is no one behind them in this quest. Secondly, it is as likely for al-Qaeda wo emerge victorious in Syria as those of secular beliefs. Caution if the word of this moment in Syria.
