Cattle Rustlers Still Roam These Hills, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Bill Clinton is widely credited with having turned the cigar into an erotic emblem, but Charlotte Brontë got there first, in Villette: "Her heroine, a plain-faced and seemingly colorless 23-year-old school teacher named Lucy Snowe finds herself falling in love with her choleric Belgian colleague. Unsurprisingly, Paul Emanuel is a dark-haired, blue-eyed cigar smoker … One evening, Lucy steals softly into a deserted classroom to discover Emanuel immersed in her desk. 'His olive hand held my desk open, his nose was lost to view amongst my papers.' The reader is startled at the brazen snooping, but Lucy is unperturbed. She has known all along 'that that hand of M. Emanuel's was on the most intimate terms with my desk; that it raised and lowered the lid, ransacked and arranged the contents, almost as familiarly as my own … they smelt of cigars.' "
- Today in cattle rustling: it's still a thing. Matt Wolfe knows. He went to Texas and rode along with the cow police: "Lawmen and rustlers now find themselves reenacting a centuries-old drama, one central to the creation myth of the American frontier. If the cowboy was the great American folk hero, the cattle rustler was his villainous twin … In Texas, when a cow or bull is reported stolen, the case is assigned to one of twenty-seven men, the employees of a trade group called the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association … 'These days, we got more rustlers than you can say grace over,' [Ranger Wayne] Goodman told me. 'It used to be you didn't catch a rustler that didn't know cattle, or at least have some kind of agriculture in their background. Now, what with the drought, it doesn't take much skill. Cows are so thirsty you can lead them into a trailer with just a bucket of water.' "
- A collection of smutty engravings from the late eighteenth century reveals that people fornicated then in much the same way they do now. Sad. You'd think we'd have made some minor advancements since then. In fact, these engravings are based on engravings from the fourteenth century, so we've been in a rut for even longer. At least the book has a good long title: L'Arétin d'Augustin Carrache ou Recueil de Postures Érotiques, d'Après les Gravures à l'Eau-Forte par cet Artiste Célèbre, Avec le Texte Explicatif des Sujets (The 'Aretino' of Agostino Carracci, or a collection of erotic poses, after Carracci's engravings, by this famous artist, with the explicit texts on the subject).
- There's not much to look forward to in this life, but we can take solace, at least, in the mini-golf courses of tomorrow. Coming soon to Trafalgar Square: "As part of the London Design Festival, which runs September 17 through 25, a number of international designers and architects have submitted plans for a nine-hole mini-golf course … London-based architecture practice Ordinary Architecture have designed a large cross-section of a pigeon that reveals its anatomy to illustrate how the bird's digestive system works; players aim golf balls through its mouth and watch as they roll through its guts before popping out through its butt. The rendering by Hat Projects and Tim Hunkin is also pretty fun: envisioned as a high-rise building under construction (the future will include no sky!), the towering course will deposit poorly aimed balls into containers with labels such as 'Affordable Housing,' 'Bankruptcy,' and 'Abandoned Dreams.' On the other hand, if your aim is true, a contraption will pour you a glass of whiskey."
- While we're in London: it's a great place to walk around at night. "In the darkness," Matthew Beaumont writes, "above all perhaps in familiar or routine places, everything acquires a subtly different form or volume. Even the ground beneath one's feet feels slightly different. Ford Madox Ford lamented in The Soul of London (1905) that, 'little by little, the Londoner comes to forget that his London is built upon real earth: he forgets that under the pavements there are hills, forgotten water courses, springs, and marshlands'. It is not the same in the dead of night. At two A.M., in the empty streets, no longer fighting against the traffic of cars and commuters, the solitary pedestrian's feet begin to recall the 'real earth' … The nighttime self, moreover, is another self. In 'Street Haunting' (1930), Virginia Woolf quietly celebrated 'the irresponsibility which darkness and lamplight bestow'. 'We are no longer quite ourselves', she observed."

Three poker players sign book deal
Dimat Enterprises announced this week it has signed three prominent poker players to produce a series of poker books focused on No-Limit tournament strategy.
Dimat Enterprises announced this week it has signed three prominent poker players to produce a series of poker books focused on No-Limit tournament strategy.
Eric Lynch, Jon Turner and Jon Van Fleet, who collectively have more than 200 wins, 1,000 final tables and cashes of more than $6 million the last few years playing in both live and online poker tournaments, will take on the first two books of the series.
Eric Lynch, better known online as Rizen, is one of the top tournament players online and live. His results speak for themselves as he has seven cashes at the World Series of Poker in the last two years, including a second- and a third-place finish.
In 2006 he had his largest live cash when he finished 26th in the Main Event to take home $494,000. Online he has more than 50 wins, 300 final tables and more than $1.5 million in cashes.
Lynch has also already helped write a book. He teamed up with Matthew Hilger to write No-Limit Hold'em Tournament Strategy: Expert Strategies for Live and Online Play. It is scheduled for release in fall 2008.
Jon "Apestyles" Van Fleet started playing poker professionally in 2004 after graduating from college. He quickly moved up in the ranks of the online poker world and is one of the top 10 Internet players in the world according to InternetPokerRankings.com.
Van Fleet has close to $2 million in online poker cashes, including more than 350 final tables and 70 wins. His biggest cash so far is $135,000 for a second-place finish in the PokerStars Sunday Million.
Jon Turner is well-known online as PearlJammer even though he actually got his start playing live games in Raleigh, N.C., and then later in Las Vegas.
PearlJammer is consistently ranked in the top 10 players online, and over the last few years, he has amassed an impressive online resume with more than 100 wins, 600 final tables and close to $2 million in cashes.
His biggest online cash also comes from the PokerStars Sunday million after he took home $100,000 for a second-place finish.
Their tournament knowledge will be combined for the Dimat Enterprises series, which will analyze real hands played by the authors to demonstrate their thought processes and the strategies they use to achieve their success. The books are set for release in the spring and fall of 2008.

Best Of :: People & Places
We get fired up about great ideas — even if they seem a little ambitious. Greatness, after all, was built on dreams, and we think Canalscape has tremendous potential. Planners took inspiration from places like Venice and proposed incredible ideas for the Valley's 181 miles of waterways. These winding canals are based on the ancient Hohokam's crop irrigation system and have previously been seen as utilitarian systems. Not any more. The plans include beefing up our waterfronts with small marketplaces filled with coffee shops, cafes, and retail boutiques. Imagine going for a jog along the waterway, free of cars and stinky traffic, to stop for a cappuccino and a newspaper. Sounds like a dream to us.
Want an original piece of art but can't afford the hefty price tag? Enter the Art-o-mat, a restored vintage cigarette machine that poops out handcrafted art pieces as if they were gumball-machine trinkets. The project began in 1997, when North Carolina artist Clark Whittington displayed his black-and-white photos like old-school ciggies. People loved them so much that the display became a permanent fixture and the idea blossomed into a national network of machines (though this is the only one in Arizona). Pop your cash in the slot, pull the old-timey plastic knob and out comes a work of art from the project's huge roster. Most are pretty amusing. Recent sightings at the slick chrome machine include Bearded Bunnies by William Hessian, Victorian vignettes, and Julie Graces' "Peep Show" secret spy mini-telescopes. You're obviously not going to get a Van Gogh-quality oil painting here, but for $5, any piece of art better than a line drawing is a steal.
Those Christian Louboutin kicks looked damn cute when you saw them on sale at Barney's — and even cuter when you wore 'em — but honestly, that's hardly practical footwear for an evening of walking around Old Town. Easy on the eyes, murder on the feet. Since your pocketbook's emptier than Lady Gaga's head, following your latest shoe-gasm, we've got a suggestion that's equally chic and cheap: Hop aboard one of the four Bunny Rides street-legal golf carts puttering from club to club. Operated by entrepreneur Aaron Lipson, these eight-passenger rides provide complimentary jaunts (although tips are appreciated) from 7 p.m. until 3 a.m. every Thursday through Saturday night. Decorated in electric pink livery and pumping out Top 40 tracks via built-in stereos, Bunny Rides are hard to miss, even after dark. Lipson's crew cruises a service area encompassing Old Town (which stretches south from Chaparral to Thomas roads, and east between 68th Street and Hayden Road), which means schlepping slews of drunken divas and dudes to danceterias, as well as back to nearby hotels. "People get loud and crazy, girls show their boobs, you name it," Lipson says. "It's like a party on wheels." Some caveats: They won't take you home, and those appearing to be overintoxicated aren't permitted to ride. "We don't wanna get sued if people fall out," he says. Besides, why risk the chance of scuffing up your $500 babies? Reach Bunny Rides at 602-405-2106.
We've long thought Phoenix's skyline was pretty — if a little odd. Why do there appear to be two downtowns, and why does one lone skyscraper — the building formerly known as the Dial Tower — rise up from the earth between them? Then we learned something about our skyline that got us asking another question. Why are we so short? Here's a telling fact: At 483 feet, Chase Tower is Arizona's tallest building. Okay, maybe that number doesn't mean anything to you, so let's put it in perspective. Arkansas has a building that's 546 feet high. We're talking about Arkansas, the land of Walmart and rampant shoelessness. Actually, such less-urbanized and less-populous states as Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Nebraska all have buildings taller than the biggest and best of Arizona. Chase Tower wouldn't be one of the 20 tallest buildings in Texas, and that state isn't exactly known for passionate urban planning. Actually, of the country's 10 largest cities, only San Jose, California, has a tallest building shorter than Chase Tower, and, let's be honest: No one knows how or why San Jose is one of the country's 10 largest cities.
As a former New Yorker who's lived in the Valley for a decade, Marshall Shore may know a lot more about Phoenix history than most natives. Like the fact that Mr. Lucky's was intended to be Arizona's first casino or that Wayne Newton was a regular performer at Bill Johnson's Big Apple. Shore, who calls himself an information curator, deals hour-long doses of local lore each month at the Phoenix Retro Spectacular. For a fiver, listeners and fellow tale-tellers can sip wine and lounge on vintage furniture at Phoenix Metro Retro while Shore, through stories and images, shares his understanding of Phoenix antiquity and the importance of saving it.
Photo booths are always cool, like black T-shirts and motorcycles. They practically invite rebellion, so we give ourselves permission to act up. We contort our bodies with those of our friends and family as we try to get everyone in the frame. In short, we ham it up. So what could be better than a traveling photo booth? Enter Mr. Fun Booth, where you can take as many digital pictures as you like with a nifty remote control inside the 2-by-2-by-6-foot box. Renting Mr. Fun Booth comes with delivery within 50 miles of Central Phoenix, setup and teardown of the booth, three hours of shooting time, and a webpage for viewing and/or purchasing prints. Call 480-588-2778, and have fun.

Starkey: Lincoln-Strasburg, anyone?
Sports Illustrated ran a piece this week on the "wave of pitching talent" sweeping through Major League Baseball. It appears to have missed Pittsburgh, home of Charlie "Good Stuff" Morton, but a ripple has been detected in Indianapolis.
That is where Pirates prospect Brad Lincoln continues to flourish in Triple-A, fresh off six more shutout innings Thursday. He has thrown 11 such innings in his past two starts, with 13 strikeouts and two walks. He is 6-2 with a 3.16 ERA. He is 12-4 since he entered Triple-A last season.
Apparently, the Pirates believe Lincoln's off-speed pitches need some fine-tuning before he's ready for The Show. They believe newly acquired left-hander Dana Eveland and his 6.45 earned-run average (and 27 walks versus 21 strikeouts) is the better option. General manager Neal Huntington said Eveland has "an interesting four-pitch mix."
The four pitches, of course, are ball one, ball two, ball three and ball four.
Meanwhile, in one of the most incredible quotes I have ever read in a team-released statement, Huntington said of Eveland — a journeyman whose annual ERAs are often so high as to be incalculable — "We feel this acquisition is an upgrade for our current rotation with the upside of years of control and improved production."
The upside of years of (contractual) control. Wow. So you mean this guy isn't just mediocre but might be here for a while?
Where do I buy tickets?
I cannot believe that in an environment where fans are hyper-sensitive to the Pirates' miserly ways, a team executive would cite years of contractual control as part of the "upside" in acquiring a no-pedigree pitcher.
Nobody cares how long the Pirates control Dana Eveland's rights. Just don't be surprised if Eveland's start Monday is his first audition as a possible replacement for Paul Maholm or Zach Duke if either is traded.
Here's something people might care about, though: What if the Pirates gave Lincoln, the fourth overall pick from 2006, his first big-league start Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., where Nationals uber-phenom Stephen Strasburg is scheduled to make one of the most-anticipated debuts in baseball history?
Now, that would be fun.
That would be gutsy.
And that would require a quick change in plans.
By the time you read this, I'm hoping the Pirates will have come to their senses, pulled Jeff Karstens from his scheduled start Tuesday and replaced him with Lincoln. I'm hoping -- naively -- that they will have found the fortitude and imagination to give the people what they want.
This is the entertainment business, you know, so how about ditching the new-age statistical analysis sheets for a minute and replacing them with a daring script that runs the risk of delighting the fan base?
What's the worst that could happen, Lincoln loses• His confidence is crushed• Please. If the kid has any future as a front-of-the-rotation pitcher, he'll survive. He'd no doubt relish the opportunity to pitch in such a charged environment.
The Pirates are almost never in the national spotlight. This is their chance. MLB Network is televising the game. A massive press contingent is covering it. The eyes of the baseball world will be fixed squarely on Nationals Park.
What a rare opportunity for baseball's most prodigious losers.
Strasburg, the No. 1 pick last year, he has been ruining Triple-A hitters with his speed-of-light fastball and wicked breaking pitches. It's probably not an accident the Nationals chose the feeble Pirates as his first opponent. It even could be construed as an insult.
That's why I'd love to see the Pirates fight the fireballer with fire.
Hello, baseball world, we still exist. We have a future ace of our own and we're not afraid to pit him against Strasburg. And you know what• He just might steal the show.
This would be a low-risk, high-reward proposition. A Lincoln win would force talking heads to tell the story of how a young Pirates pitcher upstaged the mighty Strasburg.
Heck, it would be the biggest Lincoln story in the nation's capital since the days of Honest Abe. Might make for some nice headlines around here, too ...
» Lincoln Inaugurated
» Lincoln Rules D.C.
» Lincoln's Debut Monumental
With two days to go, it's all in the Pirates' control. Here's hoping they realize the enormous upside.

Update: Politico is reporting that the Wilmington News Journal got it wrong. The transcript of the conversation between Vice President Joe Biden and the newspaper columnist Harry F. Themal shows that Biden was talking about Sen. Ted Kaufman, not son, Beau, Politico says. The website quotes from the transcript: "Talk Ted into running, if Beau doesn't. Talk him into running – he respects you."
The Wilmington News Journal is reporting today that state Attorney General Beau Biden will not run for his dad's old Senate seat. The source: Vice President Biden.
During a wide-ranging interview with the paper, the vice president asks columnist Harry F. Themal to help him convince a reluctant Beau Biden to run for the Senate. "If you run into Beau, talk him into running; he respects you," the vice president says.
Themal responds: "I don't think he wants to run, though." Biden agrees and elaborates: "I don't think he does either. I know he doesn't want to. ... I'm so proud of the job he's done [as attorney general]."
Conventional wisdom was Sen. Ted Kaufman, a longtime Senate aide to Biden, was appointed to fill the vice president's Senate seat as a placeholder until Beau Biden could return from Iraq and run in 2010. But that was before the political landscape started turning hostile for the Democrats, who can't even win in Massachusetts these days. Rep. Mike Castle, a popular former Republican governor, is running for the Senate and poses a significant problem for any Democrat, including one named "Biden."
Just last week, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, told USA TODAY's Kathy Kiely that he expected Beau Biden to run for the Senate.
No official word from Beau Biden yet.
Updated at 4:10 p.m. ET: The vice president's office provided our colleague David Jackson with this transcript of the interview:
VP to Harry Themal: Always a pleasure of seeing you buddy. Talk Ted into running, if Beau doesn't. Talk him into running – he respects you. I wish I had the power of appointing Senators. I'd appoint him from Maryland if he wouldn't do Delaware.
Harry Themal: "I don't think he wants to run, though."
VP: No I don't think he does either. I know he doesn't. I'm so proud of the job he's done. God.
Harry: Would you campaign for him?
VP: Oh hell yeah, man. I tell you what – I was joking if Beau didn't run – I told him I'd give him my 6th-born grandchild. And you know, he said 'I have enough of those.' Alright, buddy, thanks.
Updated at 4:25 p.m. ET: The Wilmington News Journal has added this correction to Themal's column:
An earlier version of Harry Themal's column incorrectly said Vice President Biden said his son, Attorney General Beau Biden, did not want to run for the U.S. Senate. Vice President Biden was referring to Sen. Ted Kaufman, who currently holds the seat and has said he will not run for the seat in the November election.

Set Scan Preferences of Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery wisely to make Drive Scanning Efficient and Precise
You cannot be too much reliant on your Mac drive to keep your data sheltered. In fact, you cannot consider your Mac data secure without having its backup, as a data disaster may anytime surprise you. Since a data disaster may anytime come across, all you need to have is a commercial data recovery tool, viz. Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery.
Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery is a comprehensive solution for all types of data loss situations, e.g. missing to corrupt files, lost or corrupt volumes, and the like. This professional data recovery software follows a three-step approach for data recovery, i.e. 'Scan', 'Preview', and 'Save'. In fact, based upon the scan preferences, this Do-it-Yourself data recovery software restores all your data intact. In reality, scan preferences play a key role in data recovery; let us discuss this option in detail.
Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery – Scan Preferences
In the software home screen, the leftmost tool on the toolbar facilitates setting scan preferences. You can also launch preferences window from 'StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery' menu.
In the preferences window toolbar, 'File List', 'Add Header', 'Filter', and 'Others' are four tools.
- 'File List' tool allows you to change the size of the supported file types and remove added file types.
- 'Add Header' tool facilitates adding new file types before beginning to scan Mac disk.
- 'Filter' tool features applying filters to include/exclude files based on certain criteria.
- 'Others' tool facilitates checking for software updates and customizing search process. Well, below discussed are all the four tools in detail:
File List
Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery software supports a slew of file formats of photo, audio, and video under Photo Recovery option. Likewise, various file types of photos, audio, video, documents, applications, text, and more under Delete Recovery and Raw Recovery options. In order to make desired changes, click 'Preferences > File List', choose one Recovery type, and then select one out of Photo, Audio, and Video.

We Could Be Answering the Phone 'Ahoy' Instead of 'Hello'!
Somethings we just take for granted and somethings we appreciate in life. One of the things we take for granted is the way we answer the telephone. When we dial a phone number someone on the other end usually answers the phone with "Hello". Have you ever wondered how that all got started? Who decided we should answer the phone that way?

Bhim Singh loses bronze-medal bout
New Delhi: India`s hopes of winning a medal in the Greco-Roman category went up in smoke after Bhim Singh lost his bronze-medal bout at the Senior Asian Wrestling Championship here on Friday.
Bhim was thrashed by his Iranian opponent, Davoud Gilnirang, in the 96 kg category.
Davoud did not allow any opening for the Indian to score points in the bouts. The Iranian registered a resounding 1-0 8-0 win over the burly Indian, much to the disappointment of the Indian fans.
Bhim suffered a muscle strain during the match and was taken off from the arena on a stretcher.
He had entered the bronze medal reckoning after winning the first repechage round 1-0 0-5 2-0 against Syria`s N Saleh.
Earlier, Bhim was comprehensively beaten by Yerulan Iskakov of Kazakhstan 0-7 0-6 in a bout that lasted a little over a minute, at the K D Jadhav Wrestling Stadium.
A delayed arrival for the bout did not help the Indian grappler in taking on a stronger Kazakh opponent. Bhim, who was relaxing after winning his first bout, came in running into the arena. He proved no match for Iskakov who rolled him thrice in the opening few seconds to win the first period by technical fall.
In the second period too, Bhim meekly surrendered as the Kazakh proved too much for him, and crashed out of the semifinal race.
The Kazakh wrestler went on to beat Iran`s Davoud Gilnirang in a controversial semifinal bout.
The Iranian was deprived of a win in a bout that very much looked like dictated by him. He had his Kazakh opponent on the mat on three occasions but the referee did not find the falls convincing to award points.
Iran claimed that their wrestlers had pinned the opponent`s shoulders on the mat. On one occasion, they went on to challenge the referee`s decision, but the 50-50 call went in the Kazakh`s favour.
Furious with the decisions, the Iranian support staff walked off the arena shouting at the officials.
"I am very surprised with the decisions of the referee. I have never seen such bad refereeing. The Kazakh wrestler equally matched with ours. There were falls on the Kazakh wrestler on four occasions which the referee did not count," fumed Hassan Rangraz, the Iranian team manager.
The win for the Kazakh wrestler meant that Bhim had another shot at the medal, through repechages.
Ealier, Rajbir Chhikara (74kg) raised hopes for the hosts as he won his opening bout against Pengfei Yan of China. But, in the quarterfinals, he was clinically beaten by Japan`s Tomohiro Inoue 0-1 0-2.
India`s best bet in the 84kg category, Harpreet Singh, lost his opening match to Taichi Oka of Japan to bow out of the competition.
Harpreet, who was fielded for the injured Manoj Kumar, failed to score a point and lost the best of three periods 0-1 0-2, ending India`s challenge in the Greco-Roman wrestling.
In the women`s 48kg category, India`s Priyanka Singh lost her bout to Ayano Suzuki of Japan in a close encounter.
Priyanka registered an easy 6-1 win in the first period by performing takedowns. However, the Japanese came back strongly to prevail in the next one. The third period was intensely fought by the two diminutive grapplers, but it was the Japanese who got the better off the local favourite 1-6 3-0 3-1.
No Indian wrestler could bag a medal in the seven weight categories of the Greco-Roman competition in the championship.

Have I mentioned I'm a full-body make-up artist?
Somewhere James Cameron is kicking himself for not thinking of this first. PopEater reports:
Singer Katy Perry will be featured in a film based on the 'Smurfs.' Perry is in negotiations to voice the role of Smurfette, one of those huggably blue creatures created by Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford in 1958, reports Variety. Others attached to the project include Neil Patrick Harris from 'How I Met Your Mother' and British actor Alan Cumming.
Finally! Now I can tell people at Starbucks I masturbate to Smurfette without them running out the door with their children.
And flagging down a patrol car. CHEESE IT!

Chestnut Street Inn, Sheffield, IL
Here's Cindy's winning review about her wedding at the Chestnut Street Inn:
Choosing to have our wedding at the Chestnut Street Inn was the best decision we ever made. The owners Jeff and Monika were very accommodating with all of our needs and wants. It was a small affair but very elegant. The food was amazing! The service was excellent! We were able to have part of our reception outside on their patio and it was perfect for music and dancing. There isn't a thing we would change about our special day and we would recommend The Chestnut Street Inn to anyone and all our friends and family for dinner or any special occasion.

There's a reason why Nashville, TN, was given the nickname "Music City." Whether you're joining the masses at one of the numerous live music venues or taking your seat for a show at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, the city will have your ears buzzing and your toes tapping. It truly is a music lover's paradise.
The Big Bungalow Bed & Breakfast, Nashville, TN
What to Do. One of the best ways to get acquainted with Nashville (and at your own pace) is to purchase a ticket for the Music City Trolley Hop. You can get on and off this charming street car at will as it takes you on a tour of the downtown area, and introduces you to some of the city's great landmarks including the 19-acre Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park which features a sprawling grass "mall," a Farmer's Market and several erupting geyser fountains each representing a Tennessee river. You also can hop off at Centennial Park and point your camera towards the Parthenon, a full-scale replica of the original structure from ancient Greece including the 42-foot Athena statue housed inside.
Of course, music is the heart and soul of the capital city, so no trip would be complete without a walk along Nashville's Music Mile, a stretch of road that connects downtown to Music Row (home to the city's entertainment industry). There you'll discover the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and the Music City Walk of Fame, a "star-and-guitar" sidewalk honoring those who have contributed to the city's musical heritage including Roy Orbison, Reba McEntire and Jimi Hendrix. Have you heard about "The Show That Made Country Music Famous?" You might know it better as the world-renown Grand Ole Opry. Since 1925, the weekly show has showcased some of the biggest country stars. Each week features a dynamic line-up of artists and is a must-see stop for a show or a backstage tour.
With fall firmly in place, why not spend some of your getaway celebrating the season? At the 55-acre Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art, a privately-funded Georgian-style mansion built by the Maxwell House Coffee fortune, they're hosting the Cheekwood Harvest until the end of the October. You can admire the nearly 5,000 chrysanthemums on a guided tour of the estate, listen to blue grass music in the Herb Garden, watch a tree-climbing competition or dabble in some arts and crafts.
If your plans include spending Halloween in Nashville, you'll surely find some spooktacular activities to choose from including a Nashville Ghost Tour. As you make stops at the Tennessee State Capital, President Polk's Tomb, the Ryman Auditorium and Printer's Alley, a lantern-bearing guide in period dress will tell ghastly tales of supernatural occurrences. While you're in town, raise a glass to the city's Oktoberfest celebration taking place on October 13. Now in its 33rd year, it's the longest running cultural event in Nashville's history and features live German music, food and, of course, plenty of beer.
The Brentwood, Brentwood, TN
Where to Stay. Whether you prefer to experience the city's culture up close or from a distance, a Nashville bed and breakfast in or near the city has it covered. The Big Bungalow Bed & Breakfast is just east of downtown Nashville and located in the vibrant and historic community of Edgefield. This early 1900s 3-room home provides guests with intimate and cozy accommodations, along with an on-site massage therapist who also happens to be your innkeeper. Traditional Southern hospitality is always on display at The Brentwood located nine miles outside of Nashville in Brentwood. Along with a greeting and formal parlor, the inn offers six spacious suites (some with a private deck) and a breakfast room that leads out to a sun-drenched patio.
Thinking about a trip to Music City, USA? Then, make sure to visit our "Next Stop: Nashville" Pinterest board for more B&Bs in the Middle Region and places to see.
A soldier's story is one of courage and sacrifice. The uniformed men and women of the military put themselves in harm's way and endure time away from their loved ones each and every day. For them, it's all part of the job. Our freedom is championed and defended by these gallant soldiers, most of whom we will never get to thank in person.
The Munro House Bed and Breakfast and Spa, Jonesville, MI
Veterans Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in Canada, both observed on November 12, give us time to reflect and honor those men and women who put on their uniforms to protect and serve. Bed and breakfasts across the country and in Canada are taking it a step further and offering free stays to retired and active duty personnel (with military I.D.) in commemoration. Some inns also provide military discounts all year long.
For soldiers, a chance to sit back, relax and spend some much-deserved time with their loved ones may seem out of reach. These inns and hundreds more are doing their part to make it a reality:
Munro House—Jonesville, MI
Military veterans of any era plus active duty and reserves will be honored with a free room at the inn on November 11 and at the Veterans Day celebration in the city of Jonesville the next day. A delicious homemade breakfast will be served before the town's celebrations begin.
Prospect Hill B&B—Mountain City, TN
Although Veterans Day is only observed once a year, Prospect Hill B&B is extending their show of appreciation from November 1, 2012 through March 28, 2013. Active duty military personnel will be offered one free room at the inn on any Sunday through Thursday. If the family wants to plan a getaway together, they can be accommodated for two nights at the inn's cottage in the woods with a one night on the house.
Blessings on State Bed and Breakfast—Jacksonville, IL
From November 11 – 15, new military guests will receive a free one-night stay and a beautiful bouquet of celebration roses upon arrival as a "thank you." A gourmet dinner at a local restaurant along with a scrumptious breakfast in the morning are also included.
Holladay House Bed and Breakfast, Orange, VA
Holladay House—Orange, VA
To honor the men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, free rooms will be provided to them on November 11. If they decide to prolong their stay, they'll receive 15% off the second night and 30% off the third.
Copper Lane Bed & Breakfast—Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
On November 12, Copper Lane Bed & Breakfast will be offering a complimentary night in their Cocoa Bean Room for any active duty or veteran service member. Guests can bask in the glow of the room's fireplace and wake up to a candlelit breakfast for two!
Military appreciation packages book quickly so advance reservations are required.
We at BnBFinder would like to thank the men and women of the armed services and their families for all they do in service to our country. Your indomitable spirit is inspiring and heroism unmatched. We salute you!
If only walls could talk. And, in some historic, centuries-old homes, they just might.
Beechwood Inn Cape Cod, Barnstable, MA
You can blame past residents who have a fondness for their old stomping grounds and can't seem to let go. They spend their days pacing the creaky floor above you, moving objects in mid-air and sending chills up your spine with an icy brush-by just to let you know they're still there. They may not be the best communicators but they sure are mischievous!
If you want to connect with these rabble-rousers, a stay at a haunted bed and breakfast might do the trick. It'll give you a chance to get up close and personal with them…if you dare.
Don't be surprised if you feel like you're being watched while staying at the Beechwood Inn Cape Cod located in Barnstable, MA. You can thank the "Mischievous Lady," whose eerie footsteps and door-shutting antics have been reported by guests. Innkeepers Ken and Debra Traugot also have witnessed a ghostly figure roaming the halls and have heard a mysterious voice. Dr. Charles Hancock, a descendant of John Hancock, is said to have never left The Old Bridge Inn located in Jeffersonville, IN. This stately neo-classical building is rich in history and paranormal activity. Guests have reported seeing tea cups floating across the room and candles being raised up on their own. Two guests were sure they saw a bearded gentleman gesturing them to join him in the dining room.
Prince Solms Inn Bed & Breakfast, New Braunfels, TX
Located in Joplin, MO, the Prosperity School Bed & Breakfast was built as a school house in 1907; and, it seems some of its teachers and students are still attending class. Innkeepers Richard and Janet Roberts along with some of their guests have all witnessed ghastly events including footsteps in empty hallways and ghostly figures caught on video wandering around the inn. At the Prince Solms Inn Bed & Breakfast, located in New Braunfels, TX, a young woman waited for her husband to arrive on their wedding day back in the early 1900s. When he never came, she vowed to stay at the inn until he returned. After working there for the next twenty years, she passed away from natural causes. A few years later, a man arrived on horseback and was seen walking up the inn's stairs and greeting a woman wearing a wedding dress. The staff searched every corner of the inn for signs of the couple with no luck, although his horse was found.
By most accounts, these ghosts only mean to haunt and not harm. So, when your toasty room suddenly turns ice cold or you hear footsteps and nobody is there, don't be afraid. They're just enjoying their stay and hoping you join them. Unlike you, they plan to stay forever.
Looking for a hearty dinner dish to serve up this fall? Here's a delicious recipe for Pork Loin filled with Apricot/Cranberry Stuffing; Leek, Orange, and Rosemary Pan Sauce courtesy of Castle in the Country located in Allegan, MI.
Pork Loin filled with Apricot/Cranberry Stuffing; Leek, Orange, and Rosemary Pan Sauce

The Hamptons International Film Festival's Screenwriters Lab, going into its 17th year, is an intimate gathering that takes place each Spring in East Hampton, New York (April 7- 9, 2017). The Lab develops emerging screenwriting talent by pairing established writers & creative producers with up-and-coming screenwriters (chosen by HIFF in collaboration with key industry contacts).

With scripts from past writers produced year after year, the Lab continues to be an inspiring and safe place for artists to find and hone their creative vision. A number of recent projects in the Lab have gone on to be produced and distributed and to screen at festivals around the world such as Sundance, South by Southwest, Karlovy Vary, Locarno and the Los Angeles Film Festival. Selected highlights include Short Term 12 with Brie Larson and John Gallagher, which won the Grand Jury and Audience Award at SXSW, The Discoverers starring Griffin Dunne, Little Accidents featuring Elizabeth Banks and Chloe Sevigny, Fort Bliss starring Michelle Monaghan & Ron Livingston, and 2010 Sundance Film Festival Closing Night film Twelve starring Ellen Barkin and Emma Roberts.

The Hamptons International Film Festival takes place annually in October, with a number of additional events held year round in New York City and the Hamptons. The Festival is the premier film event on New York State's east end, and is an intimate showcase of some of the year's best offerings in contemporary cinema. Festival selections continue to play an important role during awards season, with a significant number of titles highlighted every year at the Academy Awards and Golden Globes, as well as the Independent Spirit Awards and Gotham Awards. Films in the 2015 festival received 36 nominations, including 4 of the 8 Best Picture nominations. The Festival has also screened the eventual Best Picture Oscar winners 6 years in a row and 7 of the last 8 years, while no other Festival on the East Coast has done so more than 3 times in that time period. Additionally, the Festival screened 2 of the Oscar nominated Foreign Language Films including the eventual winner, 5 of the Oscar nominated short films, and 4 of the 5 films whose lead actress performances were nominated.
The 25th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival will take place October 5-9, 2017.
Many films over the years have made their world premieres at HIFF and been picked up for distribution shortly after their screenings. The best known of these is OPEN WATER which was bought by Lionsgate and went on to gross $40 million worldwide. Other recent highlights of films picked up for distribution following their world premieres at HIFF include HARRY BENSON: SHOOT FIRST (Magnolia Pictures); THE CHAMPIONS (FilmRise); THE PREPPIE CONNECTION (IFC); WILDLIKE (Killer Films); FREE RIDE (Phase 4 Films); LOUDER THAN WORDS (ARC Entertainment); PLOT FOR PEACE (Trinity Filmed Entertainment); THE GALAPAGOS AFFAIR: SATAN CAME TO EDEN (Zeitgeist Films); THE MAID'S ROOM (Paladin); A SHORT HISTORY OF DECAY (Paladin); REFUGE (Strand Releasing); RISING FROM ASHES (First Run Features); DRIFT (Wrekin Hill Entertainment); SPARROW'S DANCE (Tribeca Film); STEVIE NICKS: IN YOUR DREAMS (Abramorama)
The Festival hosts multiple competitions focused specifically on early-career filmmakers, in the hopes of bolstering their work at an important juncture and helping develop a discussion around their films, both within the film community and beyond. The festival also features four signature programs: Conflict & Resolution; Compassion, Justice & Animal Rights; Air, Land & Sea, and Views From Long Island.

Whether you're in the Cook Islands looking for a change of career or overseas looking for a change of pace, we have something for you.
Despite our pristine environment and enviable pace of life, The Cook Islands suffers from depopulation. We are losing our people to the bright lights of New Zealand or Australia at a rapid rate. In 2006, there were 58,011 Cook Islanders living in NZ. That figure was a 10% increase since 2001 and expected to grow by 2013. When you compare this to the population of the Cook Islands (including papa'a) in 2006 of 19,342 we're in dire straits.
Our mission is to bring our cookies home by providing them with a service where they can view and apply for jobs back home. There are excellent job prospects for people in all fields from hospitality and tourism to government.
If you're dreaming of moving to the Cook Islands, please see our immigration page for more info on what you require to live and work in the Cook Islands.

Reviews & Testimonials
"This is a career changer for me. In twenty minutes of goofing around I found information that would have utterly re-shaped my first and second book. I also found information that has now redirected by next monograph entirely."
- Susanna Ashton, Associate Professor, Department of English, Clemson University
"The 19th Century U.S. Newspapers database contains digital facsimile images of both full pages and clipped articles from hundreds of newspapers drawn from over 20 microfilm collections across the United States. Searching uses the Infotrac system and will be familiar to users of the The Times Digital Archive."
– Lawbook Co., 2007
"The John Rylands University Library at The University of Manchester has recently taken out a subscription to the [Cengage] Learning database 19th Century U.S. Newspapers online. The subscription was initiated in January of this year and the database has already proved popular with academic staff and students in the University's School of English and American Studies.
An extensive range of full-text newspapers is included in the database. One of the main intentions of the development team was to include as wide a representation of newspapers as possible. Hence the database includes not only mainstream publications, such as the New York Herald, but also full text articles from a variety of fairly obscure nineteenth century newspapers. For example, the database includes such rarities as the Nauvoo Expositor (1844) which only produced one single issue before it was closed down and had its printing press destroyed. It includes newspapers produced by the black press of the antebellum period and the post-civil war eras. Some Native American newspapers are included, for example the Cherokee Phoenix. First published in 1828, the Phoenix was the first American Indian Newspaper to be published. A handful of newspapers from the former US territories are included: for example, it is possible to access some nineteenth century newspapers which were produced and circulated in Alaska, which was, during this period, classified as an 'unorganized territory'.
Some of the
newsprint, particularly from the earlier newspapers, has inevitably faded quite
dramatically (the digital images have been taken from microfilm) and, in some
cases, the digitized images can be difficult to read. However, a useful
magnification tool is provided which allows the size of the newsprint to be
increased up to 6400%. The functionality of the database includes search term
highlighting and an opportunity to limit searches to selected sections of the
various newspapers. For example, it is possible to do searches on various
subjects within Classified Advertisements. The database also features
'infomarks', which provide a way of saving your chosen article with a
persistent URL. In addition to these features, the database also provides
access to some recent essays by historians of journalism which provide a
background context to the newspapers included, and reference articles on key
events and issues in nineteenth-century American history, for example the Civil
War and Slavery. Having spoken to some members of academic staff in the School of English and American Studies, it is
becoming increasingly evident that the database is proving to be a very useful
research tool. It has the capacity to provide access to a myriad of articles
and ephemera which would have previously been very labour-intensive and
difficult to find. One of our academics has welcomed the opportunity to narrow
down searches to particular sections of newspapers, such as advertisements,
letters to the editor and so on. Broad studies and comparisons of a huge range
of topics can now be made. It offers the opportunity, for example, to make
comparisons between the content, style and attitudes of newspapers which served
agrarian communities and those which were produced for an urban readership. On
reflection, it is clear that the database, if used imaginatively and with some
attention to detail, provides the capacity to open up a great amount of
potential for future research on a huge range of subjects."
–Rose Goodier, John Rylands University Library

Officer Who Died in Park Identified
The San Antonio Park Police Officer who was found dead in Jack White Park on the city's greenway system on the northeast side has been identified as Douglas Rivers, 63.
Police say Rivers was bicycling in the park when he apparently lost control of his bike and slammed into a tree.
Several passersby found Rivers' body and called police.
Officers say the Bexar County Medical Examiner will investigate whetehr 'other factors' may have contributed to Rivers' death, but foul play is not suspect.
Rivers was off duty at the time.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Just back from the yha , great location , rooms good size and clean , beds very comfy . Would recommend this to any one going to Manchester . Bar prices are good for bottled beers £2.30 for stella and becks corona £2.60 which you ll stuggle to pay in city centre bars . Never tried the food but a great choice on the menus and very good prices . Ten minute walk to nearest bars in the Deansgate area , good bars and that at Deansegate locks , resturants are 5 minute walk round the corner .
Pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable, informative staff. Clean and tidy. The bed was big enough for the two of us but was somewhat lacking in comfort. The kitchen was not particularly appealing. Unfortunately the location of the hotel makes it subject to noisey traffic - particularly buses. [Our recommendation would be subject to these comments.]
The bed was so comfortable and very friendly atmosphere with staff. Facilites are great and up-to-date. The amount of stairs, but good for fitness levels I suppose!
I've stayed in budget accommodation before and I must say this is the best I have seen. I paid extra to have my own double en-suite room and I recommend it to anyone, very comfortable and clean. Dragging my suitcase up/down lots of stairs!
The large room, very big bed and a good shower. The breakfast.
Facilities were basic but adequate. Friendly and informal. I did not like the fact that the dormitories were mixed. I ended up being the only female in a dormitory of men. I found out next morning that another guy was a lone guy in a dormitory of girls. Surely it would make more sense to allocate all females to one dorm and all males to another.
Staff Friendliness and also having a kitchen were you could make yourself a tea or coffee 24 hours a day.
Really lovely staff who fostered a welcoming atmosphere Could do with larger secured storage
Good position: near the centre and reasonable price
The stuff is very helpfull, the hostel very clean and 5 minutes walk from the canter of Manchester.. Will visit again!
Basic budget accommodation, clean and tidy with friendly atmosphere and helpful staff
The high points were location and the included breakfast (probably the best free breakfast I've ever had at a hostel in the UK). The hostel is located right in the trendy Northern Quarter and is quite close to Manchester Picadilly. Great for solo travel and for young people looking to explore the hipster paradise of Northern Manchester. The facilities left a lot to be desired. Ancient bathroom facilities, heinous showers that only let out cold water in short spurts, and thin mattresses through which the wire of the bed pokes maliciously.
Location It as soooooo dirty, old, disgusting

Lucknow, June 2: A resurgent BJP today besieged the street leading to chief minister Akhilesh Yadav's office, its motivation underlined by the way its state president joined thousands of women activists in withstanding the police's water cannons for an hour.
The specific issue was the rising rapes but it was clear the BJP was raring to take on the Samajwadi government on the back of a stunning general election performance that came after years on the sidelines.
Some 5,000 party workers, over half of them from the women's wing, raised a ruckus for two-and-a-half hours in temperatures of 44°C, refusing to give ground as the police blasted them with water in the face.
The Union home ministry too stepped up the heat on the state government, shooting off a letter today asking why the stringent provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act had not been slapped on the accused in Badaun.
The case refers to the gang rape and murder of two Dalit teens in a village, where the list of accused includes two police constables and a man said to enjoy the ruling Samajwadi Party's patronage.
Two days ago, the Congress had stolen the march on the rest of the state Opposition when Rahul Gandhi visited the Badaun village. It prompted Mayawati to follow suit yesterday.
Today, the BJP shifted the attention to Lucknow with its noisy agitation, keen to dominate the Opposition space after winning 71 of the state's 80 Lok Sabha seats on its own last month.
Samajwadi spokesperson Gaurabh Bhatia termed the demonstration an "unfortunate political gimmick" and tried to pass the onus to the Centre.
"The state government has already ordered a CBI probe. It's now the turn of the BJP-led government at the Centre to see that the CBI properly investigates the case and brings the guilty to book," he said.
But the agitators clubbed the Badaun outrage with similar atrocities in Etawah and Azamgarh as they attacked the state government.
The protests began around 11.30am with the BJP women screaming slogans and showing bangles to the police in a symbolic insult. By 1pm, the police began trying to beat the crowd back with water cannons and succeeded only by 2pm.
"We'll continue to hit the streets and let them hear our cries; we'll shake up the slumbering administration. We'll suspend all our family activities to come here," said Puja Srivastava, a BJP worker from Lucknow.
State BJP president Laxmikant Bajpai, his clothes drenched in water, told reporters the state government was unable to contain the crime wave because "a section of Samajwadi activists are involved in most such crimes and the police are never allowed a free hand".
Five of the accused — brothers Pappu Yadav, Awadhesh Yadav and Urvesh Yadav and police constables Chhatrapal Yadav and Sarvesh Yadav — have been arrested. Two other accused are in hiding.
They have been booked for gang rape and murder, both of which can now bring the death penalty or a life term. But junior home minister Kiren Rijiju told reporters in New Delhi that the state government should have invoked the SC/ST Act, PTI reported.
"It was a clear case of atrocity on a weaker section of society. We don't know why the state government has not slapped it against the accused," Rijiju said.

NBA — 25 December 2013
For some reason, the NBA continues to schedule Heat at Lakers on Christmas. Granted, Kobe is out with an injured knee, but even at full strength, the Lakers don't need to be on Christmas this year.
With Kobe out, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James decided to show off a bit. In the second half on a fast break, Wade went off-the-glass to LeBron for the alley-oop. That's utter disrespect.
It's not uncommon to see this, but to do this with three defenders around is ridiculous.

excellent, could you run a battery of TCP throughput tests between versions
1.2 and 1.3a1 of m0n0wall ? the two are identical with exception of base
operating system as well as version number bumps on some of the apps.
we'd probably need to consider the following:
1. TCP throughput w/o firewall rules
2. UDP throughput w/o firewall rules
3. TCP and UDP throughput with some firewall rules
4. TCP and UDP throughput with the magic shaper QoS rules
5. TCP and UDP throughput with IPSec VPNs
ideally, they should be done on the same hardware, be it a soekris 45xx or
48xx. running it on higher hardware wont max out the CPU before wire speed
is reached.

The funny thing about my experience with Yu-Be is that my very discovery of the line was the ultimate test for its power. Since the Moisturizing Skin Cream did what no other cream could do (and finally ended my search!), I've never had to doubt its status as the best weapon in a skin care arsenal.
Growing up and attending school in Japan, I lived in the dormitories. We didn't have janitors or any help in that department, us students pitched in and cleaned the rooms and bathrooms ourselves. Add that scrubbing to Japan's extremely cold, dry winters? All of us had dry, cracked skin, split cuticles – it was really painful and really damaging to our skin. But we needed something to help us get past that! When we found Yu-Be, it was so exciting to have something help the situation so much. We'd slather on that Moisturizing Skin Cream and finally experience freedom from that awful pain, dryness and cracking. We used to even put globs on our hands and then seal it with gloves to go to bed – results so luxurious that it felt like a miracle. (That method actually inspired Yu-Be's Heel and Elbow Repair Kit! You can get the same rejuvenation for your heels and elbows by applying the Moisturizing Skin Cream and sealing it in with socks while you relax!)
Nothing's ever proved as effective as Yu-Be, so there never seemed to be much point in looking anymore! When something's been put to the test in conditions that harsh, it's pretty clear it will be the answer for any skin problem in any environment. I knew Yu-Be had to be brought to the other countries all over the world so everyone can experience smooth, soft, healthy skin!
Thanks for reading!-Miyu

I'VE BEEN GOING through some boxes of stuff hidden away in the basement. Many are cartons from two or three moves ago. My kids want to know why I've kept this stuff. It seems my treasures are now taking up space needed for their soon-to-be unremembered treasures. Maybe they should get larger apartments?
One box had crinoids, brachiopods, and trilobites from the Thornton Quarry in Illinois, galena gems from the Bixby Mine in Missouri, and a piece of concrete pavement from the Edens Expressway in Chicago. Another box had promotional items, rulers, ball caps, and desktop stuff from a host of companies that are no longer in business. And in a third box, I found hundreds of pictures from job sites, meetings, and industry outings.
Never one to throw away a useful item, I gave the rocks to a high school science teacher. The promotional items now decorate my office desk. And I have vowed to scan 10 pictures per day for the rest of my life into my personal digital photo album. That's how I found the picture of my fellow classmates from the 1987 Master Builders management conference.
It had to be my first major business seminar. I had been in the St. Louis area for Kurtz Concrete for about a year. The meeting was a real learning opportunity, as I met with other concrete producers. Most of these folks were from around the country and unfortunately, I've lost contact with most of them.
Even so, I'm certain all of us have shared some common experiences over the last 22 years. We have witnessed the transformation of a local/national industry into one that acts in an international market. We've witnessed efficiency gains in both equipment and mixes. We've seen the professional development of our leaders and key managers. But most importantly, we all have seen the effects of a very cyclical market.
When I was preparing several of the stories for this issue, I found a common theme. Most say we are in the trough of a cycle we haven't witnessed for years. Most producers have had to cut back hard and quickly. Some have laid off key folks for the first time in 20 years, and some plants are still shut down from winter closings. Yet there is still optimism.
Unlike many other industries, our future is secure. And this issue of TCP reflects this message. Concrete construction is the foundation of the stimulus plan and will be a key part of the new highway bill due in October. Producers who recognize the change will benefit faster than those who resist it.
This month, we've suggested how to participate in the transportation market. E-mail me your own ides or post them on my blog.

Rams' Demoff Says Brian Quick Has Had a Strong Offseason
via Turf Show Times.
Rams COO Kevin Demoff recently had this to say about Brian Quick and the Rams' passing game:
Brian Quick has had a very strong offseason and we're excited about his progress. I know a lot was made that he was supposedly the "4th receiver" but I don't know how that story got legs and took on a life of its own. One of the most exciting things during OTA's and the offseason was to watch the offense open up and use all of the weapons, and Brian really presents some matchup problems outside with his height and speed…There is nothing that should hold Brian back from reaching his potential. He's a hard worker, he's diligent about getting better and he's determined to be a featured member of our offense.
What would it look like for Brian Quick to reach his potential?
Back in March I explored Quick's career trajectory and suggested he could become a player on par with injury-sleeper Jordy Nelson or the undervalued Brandon Marshall.
Since the article was published, the Rams have acquired Jared Cook, Tavon Austin, and Stedman Bailey, which has distracted many from the Brian Quick train. While those players are notable additions, they seem unlikely to contend for Quick's spot at the X receiver. In fact, the presence of these players in the slot may help free up Quick on the outside. To temper expectations, Demoff suggested that all five WRs and the two TEs will play a role and that it's more probable that we see everyone catch 40-50 balls, but nobody approach 70-80 catches. That said, a 2013 line of 40-600-6 from BQ would put him in the WR40 range that can be had at WR65. Long term, he has WR1 upside and may have a reduced price tag given the Rams' additions. Now is the cheapest he'll ever be. Act Quick to see if you can get him on your roster.

Alamo Colleges settles disability lawsuit
Updated 10:47 pm, Thursday, August 29, 2013
Alamo Colleges trustees have approved a $95,000 settlement in a federal lawsuit by a former Northeast Lakeview College assistant sociology professor who claimed the district discriminated against him based on his age, sex and disability.
Thomas F. Brown filed suit in 2011 alleging the district repeatedly assigned him to teach in a wheelchair-inaccessible classroom, starting in 2008 when the campus opened, and didn't move a heavy computer cart to his classroom that he couldn't push himself, court documents state.
The community college district denied Brown's application for promotion and tenure in spring 2010 and terminated his employment, which Brown described as retaliation for requesting disability accommodation, according to documents.
News Channel
He worked at the college from 2006 to 2011, the district reported.
The district denied the allegations and said it strictly enforces its anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation policy.
In approving the settlement, trustees also directed administrators to consider promoting the district's confidential ethics hotline to notify them of accessibility concerns, review the adequacy of signage to elevators at Northeast Lakeview and evaluate the district's compliance with its nonretaliation policy.
News Researcher Michael Knoop contributed to this report.

The decrease in snowfall is among several grim impacts that climate change could have if current carbon emissions go unabated, said Tom Suchanek, USGS climate change coordinator.
He said that some effects of climate change are already impacting life in the Bay Area and across the country, such as year-round high temperatures that are "breaking records right and left."
"Temperatures are climbing all the time and climbing rapidly," he said.
Higher temperatures — between 3 and 6 degrees higher depending on projection models — carry a barrage of side effects, including heat waves that are longer-lasting and more intense, increased fire danger, and winter storms that are stronger, more violent and more frequent.
Mr. Suchanek said that "1,000-year storms" are already 10 times more frequent now than they were in the 1920s. "We now have multiple 1,000-year storms per decade," he said.
Climate change is also expected to usher in a significant rise in sea levels, he said. With no change in current carbon emissions, sea levels are projected to rise at least 1.4 meters in Northern California by the year 2100.
Higher sea levels will bring higher wave heights, which will lead to increased beach erosion, cliff failures and coastal flooding, he said.
There is still hope to curb carbon emissions if countries that burn the most fossil fuels — China, the U.S., India and Russia — continue to develop alternative energy sources and work through the United Nations Framework on Climate Change to draft a treaty that would reduce emissions worldwide, he said.
But for the U.S. to join any treaty, it first has to be ratified and approved by both houses of Congress, which in the current political climate does not seem likely at all, Mr. Suchanek said.
