It's a story Blaine resident David Carlson feels compelled to tell.
The First Minnesota regiment lost most of its troops in an effort to help turn the tide at the Battle of Gettysburg in the Civil War.
Nearly 150 years ago, 262 Minnesotans, as part of the First Minnesota, charged up a hill in a battle against 1,600 Confederate soldiers to allow the Union cannons an extra five minutes to get into position to hold on to higher ground.
Two hundred fifteen members, more than 80 percent, of the First Minnesota regiment lost their lives in that battle, which Carlson said was one of the highest losses in military history.
It's a story the longtime musician and thespian first learned of after seeing a painting of the First Minnesota years ago.
After seeing the painting and learning the First Minnesota's story, Carlson felt compelled to write a song about the battle.
Years later, Carlson turned that song into a musical about the charge as well as the subsequent Pickett's charge where 15,000 Southern soldiers marched on the Northern troops and an additional 23 Minnesotans died.
Carlson began working on the musical four years ago and it took three years to complete. It includes not only battle scenes and those describing what the First Minnesota, as well as other Civil War soldiers, endured but what the women – mothers, sisters and girlfriends – battled at home while the men were away.
"Beyond the historical facts of that battle, the play covers the wants, desires, dreams and daily living of the soldiers," Carlson said.
"I researched the heck out of it."
Most recently, Carlson has been looking for funding to produce the play for free public performances this summer, which marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
After pitching his idea to several theater and historical groups in the area, Carlson has turned to the website www.kickstarter.com to generate funding for his endeavor.
"It's a sharing of a story that should not be lost, especially on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg," Carlson said.
The Kickstarter website is a place for individuals and groups to pitch their ideas to the public in order to gain financial backing to move their ideas ahead.
Through the website, Carlson has developed a proposal outlining his plans for the musical and the costs associated with its production.
Carlson is seeking $18,700 to move the project from concept to stage. He calls the budget "realistic but stripped down bare bones."
Potential investors have until Dec. 14 to contribute.
If he has not reached his financial goal by that time, Carlson intends to continue to pursue other ways to get the First Minnesota's story out in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in July 2013.
Carlson hopes it is not necessary, but if he cannot produce the full-scale musical, he said he could tie the songs together with pieces of dialogue and perform it himself in local parks and other venues.
"I want to see this thing live," Carlson said about the musical.
Whatever it takes to get the First Minnesota's story out there is what matters most to Carlson, he said.
"This is really something that needs to be out there," Carlson said.

Please include the year,make,model,sub-model,engine,2wd,4wd,flex,gas,diesel. Please click accept when done, thank you and come back often.
Refer to this wiring diagram, click here. The throttle body assembly is equipped with 1 (4-cylinder engines) or 2 (V6 engines) electronic fuel injectors in order to supply fuel to regulate the air/fuel mixture. All fuel injection and ignition functions are regulated by the computer control module, which is sometimes also referred to as the ECM, PCM or VCM.
First of all you need a noid light to check for a pulse. A voltmeter will not work, neither will a 12 volt test light. The voltage on the pulse or ground side is very small and very quick, a noid light is needed. usually you can find one for $5 or an entire kit for $25.
Have you check for any codes? If after you get a noid light and you do have a pulse and you do have fuel pressure then the injector is clogged. If still no pulse, let me know.
The 1988 Chevrolet Truck S10 P/U 2WD 2.5L TBI 4cyl vin E fuel injector is part(NNN) NNN-NNNN.
The 1992 GMC Truck Sonoma 2WD 2.5L TBI 4cyl vin A fuel injector is(NNN) NNN-NNNN.
I don't know if they will interchange.
Anyhow, let me know when you check for a pulse an any codes.
Compnine also lists the 92 sonoma with a fuel injector as a ACDelco #217-338.
On the 88 s10 the fuel injector is a ACDelco #217-336.
Which set was that cause I was thinking of buying this set myself here,
You know something, afterall this question should have been in chevy. Oh well, nonetheless I see autozone is now selling computers for $79, it used to be only napa that had them.
There are all 3 important, at least the map sensor could prevent it from starting. I would fix them first. The code 24 did refer to the speed sensor like you said, the 25 to the Manifold Air Temperature Sensor Circuit and 34 to a Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Malfunction.
Usually Chilton doesn't have any diagnostic info earlier than 1995 and that OBDI. Let me check! BRB.
Try to clear those codes first, then check if there are cleared then try to start it nd see if they all 3 come back. Check for a vacuum hose off going to and from the map sensor, check all fuses and check anything going to or from that speed sensor and manifold air temp sensor, look for burnt wires and burnt smelling parts while I look up any test procedures for them 3 circuits.
Stored trouble codes must be cleared with the ignition switch OFF. NEVER attempt to clear codes while the ignition switch is in the ON position or the computer module will likely be destroyed. Remove the ECMB fuse for at least 5 seconds, then reinstall the fuse.
All I could find is the operation of the Manifold Air Temperature Sensor and testing the speed sensor. Click here. I see autozone sells the map sensor for $41.99.
The Manifold Air Temperature Sensor for $15.99.
The speed sensor give me 1 minute.
Rockauto has the speed sensor for $52.89.
The only one that might cause it to shutdown and not start would be the map sensor. I remember pulling the vacuum hose off a map sensor and the engine would stall.
I looked all over and all I could find is a vacuum diagram of a 1989 2.5, click here for fed and here for california. That is probably the egr solenoid.
I see the ac delco is actually listed as #88999194.
88999194 also fitshttp://www.compnine.com/pnmouseover.php?pn=88999194
Yeah, I know what you mean. Condemning an ECM is always tricky, the best thing to do is like you said borrow a good one or at least rule out everything else. I suppose it could also be a bad connection from the injector to the ecm. Anyhow, let me know today.
Are you sure you didn't miss a number when writing down that part number on the ecm? I just got an email from ebay about my favorite sellers and I remember this seller sells ecm's and then I looked to see if he had yours and he does but it says it is a(NNN) NNN-NNNNnot a 122765. Looks like maybe you missed the 1. Anyhow, looks like it's about the same price as autozone, actually $10 more.
I found some here, too for $88,
Here, too under the ac delco part number,
Not seems odd, you were just mentioning a white wire that someone told you about and I said it may be the tach wire, now you say someone tried to hook the tach to that circuit.
Anyhow, I will try to find out if that circuit is supposed to ground or not with key off. I thought it would just be open. I am not going to promise you that my manuals will get into that that in depth but I will try.
I thought you were going to try the sonoma ecm on the s10?
Anyhow, try disconnecting those pink/black wires going to the egr solenoid just for now, plus I see another pink/black going back to the ecm.
1. Noting the polarity marked on the switch, connect a 12 volt battery and a voltmeter as shown in the illustration.
2. Insert a thin bladed tool against the magnet as shown.
I saw this exact same test procedure posted somewhere, but the illustration is missing
I'll see if its obvious how to connect when looking at it.
You are on the ball. I noticed that, too. Chilton is famous for that. I have had them refer me to tsb's that they don't have. Then sometimes they refer you to section 6 or something like that but they were talking about a section when it was in book form, the website lists it completely different.
Hopefully there is just 2 connections.

Gaza: Urgent Need for Water and Food
The destruction of energy infrastructure has reduced the water supply during the hottest months of the year. The closing of Kerni hinders the delivery of humanitarian assistance and leaves markets without rice, sugar, flour and cooking oil.
"Access to drinking water is difficult: we only have 43% of electricity supply and numerous water pumps are no longer working," explains Hossam Almadhoun, Action Against Hunger's Head of Base in Gaza. More than 140 pumps depend on electricity supply. The closure of the Gaza strip means that alternative fuel cannot be provided - in any case, municipalities would not be able to pay for it. "People are looking for alternative means of water storage and are limiting their use of water. In towns, there is an increasing lack of hygiene and in rural areas, water points are ever more far away," says Hossam. The reduction in electricity supply also affects refrigerators and therefore the conservation of fresh food during the hottest period of the year.
Basic goods are beginning to be scarce on local markets. "Already people have no oil to cook with and are cutting wood," comments Hossam. Since the middle of June, fishing is prohibited and 160.000 people working for the administration have not received their salaries. The closure of the Eretz check point prevents 1,000 employees getting to their workplaces in Israel. "Already affected by economic collapse, families living close to the Israeli border in northern and eastern Gaza are suffering most," says Hossam.
Despite the closure of the borders, humanitarian organizations have provided some medicines to hospitals. However, markets need to be replenished and electricity supply to water pumps guaranteed in order to prevent the situation from becoming insupportable for the most vulnerable people. Food reserves such as flour, rice, sugar, oil and vegetables will run out within the coming days.
"Hopes among the population after the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza 10 months ago have disintegrated. People are nervous and there is panic," our staff in Gaza tells us.
Action Against Hunger supports the petition signed by the International Association of Development Agencies, a group of 70 humanitarian agencies working in the Palestinian Territories, calling for action by the international community to mitigate the crisis, for the opening of the border to bring supply to markets and the movement of workers.

Fear-Mongering and Raw Milk
As the raw-vs.-pasteurized-milk debate rages, a whole host of related concerns crop up, like: how much of the fear-mongering from the pro-pasteurization people is real, and how much is propaganda from Big Agribusiness? If 10,000 people were "exposed" to raw milk from a rabies-positive cow, and 200 of them chose to get shots—but not a single one of the other 9,800 people got rabies—what are we so afraid of? If not a single person in recorded history has ever gotten rabies by drinking milk from a rabid cow, how big is the risk?
I'd have to agree with author David E. Gumpert (The Raw Milk Revolution: Behind America's Emerging Battle Over Food Rights) and conclude: not very big at all. Raw milk proponents say raw milk is healthier, with more vitamin B6 and helpful probiotics; that it could reduce the risk of asthma and allergies; and that it's more flavorful to boot.
Hmm. I wonder what raw milk cheese pizza tastes like.
The very word "rabies" arouses strong feelings in most of us. I can remember as a child being told that if I got bitten by a squirrel or stray dog, I'd have to endure a series of painful shots. Otherwise, I'd risk an agonizing death that would have me foaming at the mouth.
Now raw milk drinkers in Vermont are having their fear memories jogged by the same sort of warnings. "Raw Milk Dairy In Vermont Has Cow With Rabies That Threatens 21 With Painful Shots" warns one of the blogs of food poisoning law firm MarlerClark, and its head, Bill Marler.
And a big part of the reason Vermont raw milk drinkers have to worry so much? According to MarlerClark, "Vermont's Legislature…just loosened up regulation of raw milk sales in the state, lifting the 50 quart per day cap on how much can be sold. Groups like the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont, and Rural Vermont guided passage of theFresh Milk Restoration Act of 2009." Damn those liberal foodies, pushing all this permissive legislation. It'll be the end of us all, I swear.
But wait. If you read through the MarlerClark item to the last sentence you get this little tidbit: "The Centers for Disease Control has no record of rabies being transmitted by drinking raw milk, but health officials say they cannot rule out the possibility."
Well, in the interests of objectivity, I guess you have to give the MarlerClark people a teeny bit of credit for at least slightly tempering their fear mongering. (Although, as MarlerClark suggests, You never know. You just never know. And you can never ever be too safe. While we're at it, let's wash our hands an extra five times today and say "Thank our lucky stars, and thank the benevolent folks at MarlerClark.")
But this sort of fear mongering has been going on for a good while. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in its, shall we say, rabid, anti-raw milk presentation of 2007, describes a case in Oklahoma involving raw milk supposedly contaminated by a cow's rabies, under the heading "Rabies Scare." "10,000 consumers potentially exposed," the slide tells us breathlessly.

Savers who feel they are have protected themselves from the credit crunch by investing in fixed-rate bonds may find they are unable to access or withdraw their cash if their provider falls into difficulty.
In the wake of the crunch, banks and building societies have been advertising headline-grabbing rates of nearly 7 per cent on bonds, in order to bring in funds directly from customers rather than borrowing on the tumultuous money markets. But should providers fall into trouble, as Northern Rock did last year, then savers holding fixed-rate bonds will not be able to withdraw their money before or during a bank's collapse in the same way that those holding easy-access accounts would.
'Fixed-rates have come to the foreground at the moment, partly because the rates are so good over the short term,' says Julia Harris, an analyst at Moneyfacts.co.uk. 'People may have the perception that they can come out of a fixed-rate bond in the same way they can make a penalty payment and come out of a fixed-rate mortgage, for instance, but fixed-rate bonds are very inflexible - once your money's there, it's there, and you can't get it back until the end of the bond's term.'
One Observer reader, who wishes not to be named, deposited £50,000 in a six- month fixed-rate bond with IceSave, paying 6.76 per cent AER, earlier this year. It will mature in June, but almost as soon he opened the bond, he realised that its balance was £15,000 over the £35,000 covered by the Financial Services Compensation Service (FSCS).
'I wrote to IceSave to request reducing my overall exposure from £50,000 to £35,000, so that I would be entitled to compensation if anything should happen to Landsbanki [the Icelandic bank that owns IceSave] in the light of turbulence in the banking sector,' he says.
When IceSave replied - after four phone calls and a letter - it told him that unless he could prove he needed the money for an emergency, he would not be able to access it until its expiration.
Our reader says he would be prepared to pay a penalty to IceSave for breaking the terms of the bond, if only for the reassurance that his money would be covered by the FSCS in the event of Landsbanki collapsing. 'I didn't ask to close the account, simply to reduce my exposure to it. My argument is that when you invest your money, you do it with the optimism that the institution will still be there when your money matures. I can't hold Landsbanki to that, yet they can hold on to all of my savings. If they go bust, I will instantly have lost £15,000.'
IceSave says: 'The benefit of a fixed- rate account is that customers have a known and fixed level of return, with the understanding that the investment must be held for a pre-agreed time period. The terms and conditions are made very clear to customers before they invest.
'We are willing to be flexible in exceptional circumstances where a customer experiences unforeseen personal circumstances that result in an urgent need for full or partial access to their funds ahead of the maturity date, but where there are not sufficient reasons for making an exception on compassionate grounds we do not permit withdrawals from fixed-rate savings accounts before the maturity date.'
The FSCS covers 100 per cent of the first £35,000 held in any institution, although if you hold money in apparently different banks that actually operate under the same banking licence (such as Halifax and the Bank of Scotland, for example), you will only be covered once. In order to minimise risk, it is best to make sure that you have no more than £35,000 saved with one provider or with one banking group. The FSCS says that even if you can prove you have tried to limit your exposure, as in the case of our reader, the same rules would apply.
Meanwhile, Julia Harris at Moneyfacts says savers should not be put off cashing in on the current high rates, provided they do so sensibly. 'Banks need more funding and in the short term, at least, we will continue to see good rates being advertised,' she said. 'I wouldn't discourage people from good fixed-rate bonds - if you can, you might as well make the most of the rate while available. But you must make sure you have funds readily available for an emergency. Keep an easy-access savings account which you can quickly dip into should you need to, instead of putting all your savings into a bond.'
For those who want the reassurance of being able to get hold of their money in an emergency, the Co-operative Bank permits early access on closures with only 90 days' loss of interest on its 6.62 per cent fixed-rate 12-month bond. It requires a minimum £2,000 deposit.
Northern Rock is paying 5.75 per cent for 12 months on its fixed-rate bond (issue five), which allows unlimited no- notice withdrawals. It also enables you to top up the balance while the issue is still available.
'This may not be a great rate, but if you want flexibility, then this works almost like an easy-access account in terms of taking money out - but with the guarantee that the rate won't fall,' Harris says.
Find the best deals
Andrew Hagger of price comparison site Moneyfacts.co.uk says that savers who do not want to keep switching between short-term deals with introductory bonuses and are fed up with rates being cut by more than the cut in base rate should opt for providers that have proved themselves consistently over the past two to three years, and have not dropped rates too radically.
According to Moneyfacts, 31 of the 48 most consistent savings accounts are offered by building societies. For internet savings, it recommends Sainsbury's bank's internet account, paying 5.75 per cent AER on a minimum £1 deposit. The rate is not as high as those in the best-buy tables (such as Kaupthing Edge, which pays 6.5 per cent AER and requires a minimum £1,000 deposit), but it has been the most consistent over the past 36 months.
Anglo Irish bank's seven-day notice savings account (6.05 per cent) and its no-notice account (6.10 per cent) are also recommended. These make it into the best-buy tables, though they are beaten by Manchester building society's 60-day notice account (6.41 per cent on a minimum £1,000 deposit) and Heritable bank's easy access account, paying 6.06 per cent.
'Sometimes the best-buy rates are the ones that are most likely to drop quickly, or only be around for a limited bonus period,' says Hagger. 'It's best to opt for something more constant.'

I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)

text: "It would be damaging to the long term health of the company to take arbitrary action just to hit that number," he later added. Sun will nevertheless take various steps to cut costs, including cutting between 1,500 and 2,500 employees from its workforce. Sun currently has more than 34,000 employees. The layoffs will mean a $130 million to $220 million charge in the fiscal fourth quarter, and should lead to annual savings of $100 million to $150 million. The job cuts are the third major layoffs since Schwartz took over. While the cost-cutting has helped Sun improve its profitability, sales growth continues to remain elusive. And with the souring U.S. economy, Sun's growth prospects only look bleaker. Meanwhile, tech firms like Intel ( INTC), VMware ( VMW) and IBM ( IBM) have continued to deliver solid results despite the slowing economy. In fact, IBM even cited strength in the U.S. market. Sun executives said its troubles were not the result of market share loss to competitors like IBM, despite the two companies diverging results in the quarter. For the three months ended March 30, Sun's revenue declined 0.5% year-over-year to $3.26 billion, below the average analyst expectation of $3.37 billion. "During March, we saw a substantive change in U.S. sentiment," Schwartz said, as orders from large customers were pushed out, and Sun's distribution partners experienced slower-than-expected sales. The result, Sun executives said, was that revenue came in about $200 million lighter than the company's internal expectations. The slowdown was most pronounced at the high-end of Sun's product lines, particularly for enterprise servers and tape-storage systems. Revenue in Sun's computer systems business declined 1.8% year-over-year, while the company's storage revenue fell 5.4%.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalopathy (M.E.)
Monday, 10 May 2010
M.E. is a seriously debilitating illness affecting approx 12,000 people in Ireland, with 70% of these people being undiagnosed. However it has been noted that there is a significant lack of awareness from the Irish medical community regarding the condition, leading to an exhaustive diagnosis for patients, and often doctors refer back to a diagnosis of depression.
It is ME Awareness Month, and at the end of the month professionals from the UK will come to Ireland in a bid to increase awareness. Many doctors in Ireland still do not recognise it as a physical illness, and follow the school of thought that it is a psychological condition.
Doctors often describe the condition as a mixture of physical and psychological factors, and one that is very difficult to get to the bottom of where diagnosis is a process of elimination. This is the general consensus among medical professions in Ireland and can be frustrating for patients. But is this an Irish problem and why do Irish people tend to go to the UK or across the border to get treatment?
Around 12,000 people in Ireland are thought to suffer from ME, now often diagnosed under the name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The exact cause of ME/CFS remains unknown, but research has shown that it can affect the immune system and nervous system of sufferers. Most patients experience a flu-like illness before the onset of ME/CFS. Patients with ME/CFS experience symptoms such as: disabling exhaustion made worse by even minor exertion, sore throats, impaired concentration and memory, headaches, disturbed sleep, dizziness, muscle and joint pain. Patients can experience a worsening of their symptoms, and overwhelming flu-like exhaustion, after activity which was previously well tolerated. A particular feature of the disease is that the condition waxes and wanes over time, and symptoms can fluctuate a great deal from day to day, or even within a day.
There is no known cure at the moment, though patients may be able to get symptomatic relief for some of the symptoms. While some sufferers do improve over time, others remain significantly affected and disabled by their illness, and have to carefully pace their activities in order to manage their lives.
ME/CFS affects men, women and children of all ages and backgrounds, though it is rare in young children and seems to first occur mostly to people in the 20-50 age group.
The Irish ME/CFS Association is a national all-volunteer organisation committed to helping all those affected by ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), not just sufferers but also their carers and families. It seeks to promote greater understanding and awareness of ME/CFS in the general public, medical profession and related services. It is run entirely by volunteers. Membership is €15 per year and, for this, members receive a quarterly newsletter, which provides them with up-to-date information on ME research as well as informing them about the current activities of the Irish ME/CFS Association. Between newsletters, updates are provided by E-mail and text.
Many of the members of The Irish ME/CFS Association are also members of the free Internet service, MEChat-Ireland. This facility has both a chat room and an E-mail list, which people all over the country access regularly, both day and night. For those people not on the Internet, there is a telephone contact list, with over 100 names on it. MEChat-Ireland and the telephone contact list are especially useful for those people who can't make it to meetings for whatever reason (many people are left house-bound, some even bed-bound, because of the condition).
A free information pack and membership form can be sent to all enquirers. Phone 01-2350965, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or write to P.O. Box 3075, Freepost F4439, Dublin 2.
General Background:
. ME/CFS is a real, often relapsing, debilitating illness, affecting up to 240,000 people in the UK (CMO 2002 figures), with similar rates of incidence in Europe, USA, New Zealand and Australia. No proper epidemiological studies have been done in Ireland, but the prevalence rates are presumably similar here.
. M.E. also affects children. In the UK there are estimated to be 20,000 children and young people with the illness - the incidence appears to be growing, and in some areas of the UK, two-thirds of the children who have Home Tuition have ME/CFS.
. Characteristic symptoms include:
a) muscle pain with physical and mental exhaustion following normal activities; quite different from what is normally experienced by healthy people
b) Unique to ME/CFS is the delayed recovery after physical or intellectual effort - recovery can take up to 72 hours
c) Cognitive difficulties (e.g. inability to concentrate, think or speak correctly).
. ME is recognised as a neurological illness by the World Health Organisation, and as a serious, chronic condition by the UK's Chief Medical Officer.
. Studies have shown that most sufferers are unable to work to full capacity, and that 25% are severely disabled with some house/bed bound
. ME has a huge impact on the lives of families and carers, but little, if any, support is available to them
. The cause of ME is still unknown, but 80% of sufferers report an infectious onset (which is why it is also sometimes called Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS)).
. No cure or effective treatment has yet been found.

The desk with new drawer system, opening in 2 different directions.
Designed by NOSIGNER
This innovative desk, developed with traditional wooden craftsmanship from Tokushima in Japan, possesses the same special feature as our CARTESIA drawer: a 2-directional structure, allowing you to access multiple storage at the same time as well as eliminating blind spots in the back of each drawer.
This sophisticated business desk was designed to assist you. In addition to its clever Cartesia system, it features a small side-drawer to store electric cables and a deeper one for documents or large files. The Cartesia desk will be your perfect working partner.
The tradition of the ship-carpenters from Tokushima, at the time called Awa, started more than 400 years ago.
After the Meiji era, craftsmen in Tokushima inherited the ship-carpenters' precise technique to build furniture (e.g. vanity tables) and became the finest producers of wood products in Japan.
Designers managed to create innovative products, using the traditional technique from Awa.
This tradition is therefore now available in your daily life.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - As President Barack Obama prepares to address the country Wednesday morning and propose his gun control package, Ron Davis will be in Washington fighting for what he believes needs to happen with gun control laws.
Davis' son, Jordan, was the teen shot and killed at a Southside gas station over loud music.
Davis will join Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and members of the Gun Control Task Force lead by Vice President Joe Biden in a panel discussion about gun control.
Cord Byrd is a local gun rights attorney who is very curious to hear Obama's plan.
"He's very limited in what he can do. [He] can't ban assault weapons or magazine capacity. From what we've heard in the media, [he's] going to try to enforce the laws on the books. Don't know why he would need an executive order to do that," said Byrd.
Byrd said the president only has so much power and will face an uphill battle with Congress. Those proposals have been developed by a panel led by Biden.
"It's going to be very difficult for Democrats to get anything through Congress. The Democrats or anti-gun rights side has said it will be hard. What I would propose is at state level. We've already seen Wyoming and Texas introduce legislation at state level to prohibit firearms rights infringement as well as 2nd amendment," said Byrd.

Northwestern Memorial's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute
First To Trial Smallest Full Support Heart Assist Device
Medical News Today -- Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is the first center in Illinois and among the first in the country to implant a new experimental left ventricular assist device (LVAD) into subjects with advanced heart failure, a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to the body's organs. The HeartWare® Ventricular Assist System (HeartWare® System) features the HVAD™ Pump, the smallest LVAD to provide full cardiac support currently under investigation in the United States. The HeartWare® System is intended as a bridge to heart transplantation. Northwestern Memorial surgeons have implanted four subjects with the device, and are the first in the country to transplant a subject as part of this trial.

THE little porter, after having carried Arsenius's message to Miriam, had run back in search of Philammon and his foster-father; and not finding them, had spent the evening in such frantic rushings to and fro, as produced great doubts of his sanity among the people of the quarter. At last hunger sent him home to supper; at which meal he tried to find vent for his excited feelings in his favourite employment of beating his wife. Whereon Miriam's two Syrian slave- girls, attracted by her screams, came to the rescue, threw a pail of water over him, and turned him out of doors. He, nothing discomfited, likened himself smilingly to Socrates conquered by Xantippe; and, philosophically yielding to circumstances, hopped about like a tame magpie for a couple of hours at the entrance of the alley, pouring forth a stream of light raillery on the passers- by, which several times endangered his personal safety; till at last Philammon, hurrying breathlessly home, rushed into his arms.
'Hush! Hither with me! Your star still prospers. She calls for you.'
'Miriam herself. Be secret as the grave. You she will see and speak with. The message of Arsenius she rejected in language which it is unnecessary for philosophic lips to repeat. Come; but give her good words-as are fit to an enchantress who can stay the stars in their courses, and command the spirits of the third heaven.'
Philammon hurried home with Eudaimon. Little cared he now for Hypatia's warning against Miriam .... Was he not in search of a sister?
'So' you wretch, you are back again!' cried one of the girls, as they knocked at the outer door of Miriam's apartments. 'What do you mean by bringing young men here at this time of night?'
'Better go down, and beg pardon of that poor wife of yours. She has been weeping and praying for you to her crucifix all the evening, you ungrateful little ape!'
'Female superstitions--but I forgive her. Peace, barbarian women! I bring this youthful philosopher hither by your mistress's own appointment.'
'He must wait, then, in the ante-room. There is a gentleman with my mistress at present.'
So Philammon waited in a dark, dingy ante-room, luxuriously furnished with faded tapestry, and divans which lined the walls; and fretted and fidgeted, while the two girls watched him over their embroidery out of the corners of their eyes, and agreed that he was a very stupid person for showing no inclination to return their languishing glances.
In the meanwhile, Miriam, within, was listening, with a smile of grim delight, to a swarthy and weather-beaten young Jew.
'I knew, mother in Israel, that all depended on my pace; and night and day I rode from Ostia toward Tarentum: but the messenger of the uncircumcised was better mounted than I; I therefore bribed a certain slave to lame his horse, and passed him by a whole stage on the second day. Nevertheless, by night the Philistine had caught me up again, the evil angels helping him; and my soul was mad within me.'
'And what then, Jonadab Bar-Zebudah?'
'I bethought me of Ehud, and of Joab also, when he was pursued by Asahel, and considered much of the lawfulness of the deed, not being a man of blood. Nevertheless, we were together in the darkness, and I smote him.'
Miriam clapped her hands.
'Then putting on his clothes, and taking his letters and credentials, as was but reasonable, I passed myself off for the messenger of the emperor, and so rode the rest of that journey at the expense of the heathen; and I hereby return you the balance saved.'
'Never mind the balance. Keep it, thou worthy son of Jacob. What next?'
'When I came to Tarentum, I sailed in the galley which I had chartered from certain sea-robbers. Valiant men they were, nevertheless, and kept true faith with me. For when we had come halfway, rowing with all our might, behold another galley coming in our wake and about to pass us by, which I knew for an Alexandrian, as did the captain also, who assured me that she had come from hence to Brundusium with letters from Orestes.'
'It seemed to me both base to be passed, and more base to waste all the expense wherewith you and our elders had charged themselves; so I took counsel with the man of blood, offering him over and above our bargain, two hundred gold pieces of my own, which please to pay to my account with Rabbi Ezekiel, who lives by the watergate in Pelusium. Then the pirates, taking counsel, agreed to run down the enemy; for our galley was a sharp-beaked Liburnian, while theirs was only a messenger trireme.'
'And you did it?'
'Else had I not been here. They were delivered into our hands, so that we struck them full in mid-length, and they sank like Pharaoh and his host.'
'So perish all the enemies of the nation!' cried Miriam. 'And now it is impossible, you say, for fresh news to arrive for these ten days?'
'Impossible, the captain assured me, owing to the rising of the wind, and the signs of southerly storm.'
'Here, take this letter for the Chief Rabbi, and the blessing of a mother in Israel. Thou Last played the man for thy people; and thou shalt go to the grave full of years and honours, with men-servants and maid-servants, gold and silver, children and children's children, with thy foot on the necks of heathens, and the blessing of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to eat of the goose which is fattening in the desert, and the Leviathan which lieth in the great sea, to be meat for all true Israelites at the last day.'
And the Jew turned and went out, perhaps, in his simple fanaticism, the happiest man in Egypt at that moment.
He passed out through the ante-chamber, leering at the slave-girls, and scowling at Philammon; and the youth was ushered into the presence of Miriam.
She sat, coiled up like a snake on a divan writing busily in a tablet upon her knees while on the cushions beside her glittered splendid jewels, which she had been fingering over as a child might its toys. She did not look up for a few minutes; and Philammon could not help, in spite of his impatience, looking round the little room and contrasting its dirty splendour, and heavy odour of wine, and food, and perfumes, with the sunny grace and cleanliness of Greek houses. Against the wall stood presses and chests fretted with fantastic Oriental carving; illuminated rolls of parchment lay in heaps in a corner; a lamp of strange form hung from the ceiling, and shed a dim and lurid light upon an object which chilled the youth's blood for a moment--a bracket against the wall, on which, in a plate of gold, engraven with mystic signs, stood the mummy of an infant's head; one of those teraphim, from which, as Philammon knew, the sorcerers of the East professed to evoke oracular responses.
At last she looked up, and spoke in a shrill, harsh voice. 'Well, my fair boy, and what do you want with the poor old proscribed Jewess? Have you coveted yet any of the pretty things which she has had the wit to make her slave-demons save from the Christian robbers?'
Philammon's tale was soon told. The old woman listened, watching him intently with her burning eye; and then answered slowly--
'Well, and what if you are a slave?'
'Am I one, then? Am I?'
'Of course you are. Arsenius spoke truth. I saw him buy you at Ravenna, just fifteen years ago. I bought your sister at the same time. She is two-and-twenty now. You were four years younger than her, I should say.'
'Oh heavens! and you know my sister still! Is she Pelagia?'
'You were a pretty boy,' went on the hag, apparently not hearing him. 'If I had thought you were going to grow up as beautiful and as clever as you are, I would have bought you myself. The Goths were just marching, and Arsenius gave only eighteen gold pieces for you--or twenty--I am growing old, and forget everything, I think. But there would have been the expense of your education, and your sister cost me in training--oh what sums? Not that she was not worth the money--no, no, the darling!'
'And you know where she is? Oh tell me--in the name of mercy tell me!'
'Why, then?'
'Why, then? Have you not the heart of a human being in you? Is she not my sister?'
'Well? You have done very well for fifteen years without your sister--why can you not do as well now? You don't recollect her-- you don't love her.'
'Not love her? I would die for her--die for you if you will but help me to see her!'
'You would, would you? And if I brought you to her, what then! What if she were Pelagia herself, what then? She is happy enough now, and rich enough. Could you make her happier or richer?'
'Can you ask? I must--I will--reclaim her from the infamy in which I am sure she lives.'
'Ah ha, sir monk! I expected as much. I know, none knows better, what those fine words mean. The burnt child dreads the fire; but the burnt old woman quenches it, you will find. Now listen. I do not say that you shall not see her--I do not say that Pelagia herself is not the woman whom you seek--but--you are in my power. Don't frown and pout. I can deliver you as a slave to Arsenius when I choose. One word from me to Orestes, and you are in fetters as a fugitive.'
'I will escape!' cried he fiercely.
'Escape me?'--She laughed, pointing to the teraph--'Me, who, if you fled beyond Kaf, or dived to the depths of the ocean, could make these dead lips confess where you were, and command demons to bear you back to me upon their wings! Escape me! Better to obey me, and see your sister.'
Philammon shuddered, and submitted. The spell of the woman's eye, the terror of her words, which he half believed, and the agony of longing, conquered him, and he gasped out--
'I will obey you--only--only--'
'Only you are not quite a man yet, but half a monk still, eh? I must know that before I help you, my pretty boy. Are you a monk still, or a man?'
'What do you mean?'
'Ah, ha, ha!' laughed she shrilly. 'And these Christian dogs don't know what a man means? Are you a monk, then? leaving the man alone, as above your understanding.'
'I?--I am a student of philosophy.'
'But no man?'
'I am a man, I suppose.'
'I don't; if you had been, you would have been making love like a man to that heathen woman many a month ago.'
'I--to her?'
'Yes, I-to her!'Said Miriam, coarsely imitating his tone of shocked humility. 'I, the poor penniless boy-scholar, to her, the great, rich, wise, worshipped she-philosopher, who holds the sacred keys of the inner shrine of the east wind--and just because I am a man, and the handsomest man in Alexandria, and she a woman, and the vainest woman in Alexandria; and therefore I am stronger than she, and can twist her round my finger, and bring her to her knees at my feet when I like, as soon I open my eyes, and discover that I am a man. Eh, boy! Did she ever teach you that among her mathematics and metaphysics, and gods and goddesses?'
Philammon stood blushing scarlet. The sweet poison had entered, and every vein glowed with it for the first time in his life. Miriam saw her advantage.
'There, there--don't be frightened at your new lesson. After all, I liked you from the first moment I saw you, and asked the teraph about you, and I got an answer--such an answer! You shall know it some day. At all events, it set the poor old soft-hearted Jewess on throwing away her money. Did you ever guess from whom your monthly gold piece came?'
Philammon started, and Miriam burst into loud, shrill laughter.
'From Hypatia, I'll warrant! From the fair Greek woman, of course-- vain child that you are--never thinking of the poor old Jewess.'
'And did you? did you?' gasped Philammon.
'Have I to thank you, then, for that strange generosity?'
'Not to thank me, but to obey me; for mind, I can prove your debt to me, every obol, and claim it if I choose. But don't fear; I won't be hard on you, just because you are in my power. I hate every one who is not so. As soon as I have a hold on them, I begin to love them. Old folks, like children, are fond of their own playthings.'
'And I am yours, then?' said Philammon fiercely.
'You are indeed, my beautiful boy,' answered she, looking up with so insinuating a smile that he could not be angry. 'After all, I know how to toss my balls gently--and for these forty years I have only lived to make young folks happy; so you need not be afraid of the poor soft-hearted old woman. Now--you saved Orestes's life yesterday.'
'How did you find out that?'
'I? I know everything. I know what the swallows say when they pass each other on the wing, and what the fishes think of in the summer sea. You, too, will be able to guess some day, without the teraph's help. But in the mean time you must enter Orestes's service. Why?- What are you hesitating about? Do you not know that you are high in his favour? He will make you secretary--raise you to be chamberlain some day, if you know how to make good use of your fortune.'
Philammon stood in astonished silence; and at last--
'Servant to that man? What care I for him or his honours? Why do you tantalise me thus? I have no wish on earth but to see my sister!'
'You will be far more likely to see her if you belong to the court of a great officer--perhaps more than an officer--than if you remain a penniless monk. Not that I believe you. Your only wish on earth, eh? Do you not care, then, ever to see the fair Hypatia again?'
'I? Why should I not see her? Am I not her pupil?'
'She will not have pupils much longer, my child. If you wish to hear her wisdom--and much good may it do you--you must go for it henceforth somewhat nearer to Orestes's palace than the lecture-room is. Ah! you start. Have I found you an argument now? No--ask no questions. I explain nothing to monks. But take these letters; to- morrow morning at the third hour go to Orestes's palace, and ask for his secretary, Ethan the Chaldee. Say boldly that you bring important news of state; and then follow your star: it is a fairer one than you fancy. Go! obey me, or you see no sister.'
Philammon felt himself trapped; but, after all, what might not this strange woman do for him? It seemed, if not his only path, still his nearest path to Pelagia; and in the meanwhile he was in the hag's power, and he must submit to his fate; so he took the letters and went out.
'And so you think that you are going to have her?' chuckled Miriam to herself, when Philammon went out. 'To make a penitent of her, eh?--a nun, or a she-hermit; to set her to appease your God by crawling on all fours among the mummies for twenty years, with a chain round her neck and a clog at her ankle, fancying herself all the while the bride of the Nazarene? And you think that old Miriam is going to give her up to you for that? No, no, sir monk! Better she were dead! .... Follow your dainty bait!--follow it, as the donkey does the grass which his driver offers him, always an inch from his nose .... You in my power!--and Orestes in my power! .... I must negotiate that new loan to-morrow, I suppose .... I shall never be paid. The dog will ruin me, after all! How much is it, now? Let me see.' .... And she began fumbling in her escritoire, over bonds and notes of hand. 'I shall never be paid: but power!--to have power! To see those heathen slaves and Christian hounds plotting and vapouring, and fancying themselves the masters of the world, and never dreaming that we are pulling the strings, and that they are our puppets!--we, the children of the promises--we, The Nation--we, the seed of Abraham! Poor fools! I could almost pity them, as I think of their faces when Messiah comes, and they find out who were the true lords of the world, after all! ....He must be the Emperor of the South, though, that Orestes; he must, though I have to lend him Raphael's jewels to make him so. For he must marry the Greek woman. He shall. She hates him, of course .... So much the deeper revenge for me. And she loves that monk. I saw it in her eyes there in the garden. So much the better for me, too. He will dangle willingly enough at Orestes's heels for the sake of being near her--poor fool! We will make him secretary, or chamberlain. He has wit enough for it, they say, or for anything. So Orestes and he shall be the two jaws of my pincers, to squeeze what I want out of that Greek Jezebel.. And then, then for the black agate!'
Was the end of her speech a bathos? Perhaps not; for as she spoke the last word, she drew from her bosom, where it hung round her neck by a chain, a broken talisman, exactly similar to the one which she coveted so fiercely, and looked at it long and lovingly--kissed it-- wept over it--spoke to it--fondled it in her arms as a mother would a child--murmured over it snatches of lullabies; and her grim, withered features grew softer, purer, grander; and rose ennobled, for a moment, to their long-lost might-have-been, to that personal ideal which every soul brings with it into the world, which shines, dim and potential, in the face of every sleeping babe, before it has been scarred, and distorted, and encrusted in the long tragedy of life. Sorceress she was, pander and slave-dealer, steeped to the lips in falsehood, ferocity, and avarice; yet that paltry stone brought home to her some thought, true, spiritual, impalpable, unmarketable, before which all her treasures and all her ambition were as worthless in her own eyes as they were in the eyes of the angels of God.
But little did Miriam think that at the same moment a brawny, clownish monk was standing in Cyril's private chamber, and, indulged with the special honour of a cup of good wine in the patriarch's very presence, was telling to him and Arsenius the following history--
'So I, finding that the Jews had chartered this pirate-ship, went to the master thereof, and finding favour in his eyes, hired myself to row therein, being sure, from what I had overheard from the Jews, that she was destined to bring the news to Alexandria as quickly as possible. Therefore, fulfilling the work which his Holiness had entrusted to my incapacity, I embarked, and rowed continually among the rest; and being unskilled in such labour, received many curses and stripes in the cause of the Church--the which I trust are laid to my account hereafter. Moreover, Satan entered into me, desiring to slay me, and almost tore me asunder, so that I vomited much, and loathed all manner of meat. Nevertheless, I rowed on valiantly, being such as I am, vomiting continually, till the heathens were moved with wonder, and forbore to beat me, giving me strong liquors in pity; wherefore I rowed all the more valiantly day and night, trusting that by my unworthiness the cause of the Catholic Church might be in some slight wise assisted.'
'And so it is,' quoth Cyril. 'Why do you not sit down, man?'
'Pardon me,' quoth the monk, with a piteous gesture; 'of sitting, as of all carnal pleasure, cometh satiety at the last.'
'And now' said Cyril, 'what reward am I to give you for your good service?'
'It is reward enough to know that I have done good service. Nevertheless if the holy patriarch be so inclined without reason, there is an ancient Christian, my mother according to the flesh--'
'Come to me to-morrow, and she shall be well seen to. And mind-- look to it, if I make you not a deacon of the city when I promote Peter.'
The monk kissed his superior's hand and withdrew. Cyril turned to Arsenius, betrayed for once into geniality by his delight, and smiting his thigh--
'We have beaten the heathen for once, eh?' And then, in the usual artificial tone of an ecclesiastic--'And what would my father recommend in furtherance of the advantage so mercifully thrown into our hand?'
Arsenius was silent.
'I,' went on Cyril, 'should be inclined to announce the news this very night, in my sermon.'
Arsenius shook his head.
'Why not? why not?' asked Cyril impatiently.
'Better to keep it secret till others tell it. Reserved knowledge is always reserved strength; and if the man, as I hope he does not, intends evil to the Church, let him commit himself before you use your knowledge against him. True, you may have a scruple of conscience as to the lawfulness of allowing a sin which you might prevent. To me it seems that the sin lies in the will rather than in the deed, and that sometimes--I only say sometimes--it may be a means of saving the sinner to allow his root of iniquity to bear fruit, and fill him with his own devices.'
'Dangerous doctrine, my father.'
'Like all sound doctrine--a savour of life or of death, according as it is received. I have not said it to the multitude, but to a discerning brother. And even politically speaking--let him commit himself, if he be really plotting rebellion, and then speak, and smite his Babel tower.'
'You think, then, that he does not know of Heraclian's defeat already?'
'If he does, he will keep it secret from the people; and our chances of turning them suddenly will be nearly the same.'
'Good. After all, the existence of the Catholic Church in Alexandria depends on this struggle, and it is well to be wary. Be it so. It is well for me that I have you for an adviser.'
And thus Cyril, usually the most impatient and intractable of plotters, gave in, as wise men should, to a wiser man than himself, and made up his mind to keep the secret, and to command the monk to keep it also.
Philammon, after a sleepless night, and a welcome visit to the public baths, which the Roman tyranny, wiser in its generation than modern liberty, provided so liberally for its victims, set forth to the Prefect's palace, and gave his message; but Orestes, who had been of late astonishing the Alexandrian public by an unwonted display of alacrity, was already in the adjoining Basilica. Thither the youth was conducted by an apparitor, and led up the centre of the enormous hall, gorgeous with frescoes and coloured marbles, and surrounded by aisles and galleries, in which the inferior magistrates were hearing causes, and doing such justice as the complicated technicalities of Roman law chose to mete out. Through a crowd of anxious loungers the youth passed to the apse of the upper end, in which the Prefect's throne stood empty, and then turned into aside chamber, where he found himself alone with the secretary, a portly Chaldee eunuch, with a sleek pale face, small pig's eyes, and an enormous turban. The man of pen and paper took the letter, opened it with solemn deliberation, and then, springing to his feet, darted out of the room in most undignified haste, leaving Philammon to wait and wonder. In half an hour he returned, his little eyes growing big with some great idea.
'Youth! your star is in the ascendant; you are the fortunate bearer of fortunate news! His Excellency himself commands your presence.' And the two went out.
In another chamber, the door of which was guarded by armed men, Orestes was walking up and down in high excitement, looking somewhat the worse for the events of the past night, and making occasional appeals to a gold goblet which stood on the table.
'Ha! No other than my preserver himself! Boy, I will make your fortune. Miriam says that you wish to enter my service.'
Philammon, not knowing what to say, thought the best answer would be to bow as low as he could.
'Ah, ha! Graceful, but not quite according to etiquette. You will soon teach him, eh, Secretary? Now to business. Hand me the notes to sign and seal. To the Prefect of the Stationaries--'
'Here, your Excellency.'
'To the Prefect of the Corn market--how many wheat-ships have you ordered to be unladen?'
'Two, your Excellency.'
'Well, that will be largess enough for the time being. To the Defender of the Plebs--the devil break his neck!'
'He may be trusted, most noble; he is bitterly jealous of Cyril's influence. And moreover, he owes my insignificance much money.'
'Good! Now the notes to the Gaol-masters, about the gladiators.'
'Here, your Excellency.'
'To Hypatia. No. I will honour my bride elect with my own illustrious presence. As I live, here is a morning's work for a man with a racking headache!'
'Your Excellency has the strength of seven. May you live for ever!'
And really, Orestes's power of getting through business, when he chose, was surprising enough. A cold head and a colder heart make many things easy.
But Philammon's whole soul was fixed on those words. 'His bride elect!' .... Was it that Miriam's hints of the day before had raised some selfish vision, or was it pity and horror at such a fate for her--for his idol?--But he passed five minutes in a dream, from which he was awakened by the sound of another and still dearer name.
'And now, for Pelagia. We can but try.'
'Your Excellency might offend the Goth.'
'Curse the Goth! He shall have his choice of all the beauties in Alexandria, and be count of Pentapolis if he likes. But a spectacle I must have; and no one but Pelagia can dance Venus Anadyomene.'
Philammon's blood rushed to his heart, and then back again to his brow, as he reeled with horror and shame.
'The people will be mad with joy to see her on the stage once more. Little they thought, the brutes, how I was plotting for their amusement, even when as drunk as Silenus.'
'Your nobility only lives for the good of your slaves.'
'Here, boy! So fair a lady requires a fair messenger. You shall enter on my service at once, and carry this letter to Pelagia. Why?--why do you not come and take it?'
'To Pelagia?' gasped the youth. 'In the theatre? Publicly? Venus Anadyomene?'
'Yes, fool! Were you, too, drunk last night after all?'
'She is my sister!'
'Well, and what of that? Not that I believe you, you villain! So!' said Orestes, who comprehended the matter in an instant. 'Apparitors!'
The door opened, and the guard appeared.
'Here is a good boy who is inclined to make a fool of himself. Keep him out of harm's way for a few days. But don't hurt him; for, after all, he saved my life yesterday, when you scoundrels ran away.'
And, without further ado, the hapless youth was collared, and led down a vaulted passage into the guard-room, amid the jeers of the guard, who seemed only to owe him a grudge for his yesterday's prowess, and showed great alacrity in fitting him with a heavy set of irons; which done, he was thrust head foremost into a cell of the prison, locked in and left to his meditations.
Sorry, no summary available yet.

Going into the Louisiana Classic, Catholic High wrestling coach Tommy Prochaska called Brother Martin the team to beat.
The Crusaders backed up the hype Friday night, leading the field after Day 1 of the two-day tournament held at ExerFit in Baton Rouge with 156 points. Jesuit trailed with 120.5 points, followed closely by Catholic of Baton Rouge with 120 points.
"My team is doing what they're supposed to do," Brother Martin coach Robbie Dauterive said.
Holy Cross (83.5 points), St. Paul's (81), Rummel (71), Comeaux (69), East Ascension (61.5), Tuerlings Catholic (61.5) and Hoover High of Alabama (57) rounded out the top 10 heading in the semifinal round.
Of the 463 wrestlers from 54 teams featured in the Louisiana Classic, Brother Martin earned the top seed in five of the 14 weight classes. What normally seems like an advantage was actually a setback, Dauterive said.
"We don't want first-round byes," he said. "The top seeds in this (tournament) have byes, and we happen to be seeded high, and it cost us points. We had five byes in the first round, so that's 10 bonus points we missed out on, so we know we have to make up those bonus points."
Despite the hindrance, Brother Martin still led the tournament throughout Day 1, winning all of its first-round matchups before suffering its first defeat in the second round. Catholic followed, winning every match in Round 1, but dropping four decisions in the second round.
"Of the matches I've seen, we're wrestling pretty well," said Catholic coach and meet coordinator Tommy Prochaska. "The kids are listening and engaged in what they're doing. It's a long day, long tournament, and we've just got to continue to battle. We lost a couple matches that I didn't think we should have lost, but that's part of it."
The biggest upset through the early part of Day 1 occurred in the 147-pound weight class, as top-seeded Parkview Baptist senior Cody Thomas was taken down by North Vermilion junior Colin Laird in a 6-1 decision.
While the upsets were few in the early going, Prochaska said he expects more shake-ups in the third round of the tournament as wrestlers begin to tire and worry about cutting weight for Day 2 of the tournament.
Prochaska hopes to avoid any letdowns from his team late on the first day, giving his guys a simple message heading into their final match of the first day.
"Don't worry about tomorrow's weigh-in. Just stay focused," Prochaska said. "Sometimes we break it down to just winning the first period just to get them going and get through it. It's like in any sport, you've just got to stay focused on what you're doing."
Prochaska said a technical error set the tournament back about 35 minutes Friday night, but they still managed to get through the quarterfinals.
Day 2 of the tournament is slated to resume at 9 a.m. Saturday, with the finals set for 4 p.m.
"I'll probably see seven matches all week that I coach," Prochaska joked of his busy schedule for the weekend. "To me, I just want to run a good tournament. I don't even worry about where my guys are (in the brackets), we've just got to wrestle. This meet is just about running a good tournament and great competition."

On Surviving Public Humiliation
Recently I went to a guest lecture by an Internal Medicine Doctor that promised to examine the latest treatments, remedies and aids for cancer.
I situated myself on the inside of the second or third row and expected a long evening of power points but instead I got a personal dose of public humiliation.
The doctor took the stage and proceeded to lament lifestyle choices that lead everyone to cancer and searching for an audience scapegoat, let his eyes land on the young blonde student on the inside of the third row.
He left the stage, walked to where I was seated and proceeded to critique everything about my health from my nail beds, to the fold of flesh on my abdomen, to my thighs, my tongue and the circles under my eyes until he had rendered me a walking cesspool of disease without my consent.
Now, I would not hold myself up as exemplary, but I ran 4 years of varsity cross country, eat my vegetables and try and grab a good night of sleep here and there so I have been doing a lot of thinking of why he chose me. There were plenty of gentlemen my age and health level in the audience, fitting the description I am sure he was looking for. Why did he feel that a female fulfilled his agenda more sufficiently than a male audience member?
As he left me to return to the stage, I sat there with a burning face trying to decide what was the best reaction to something like this: was leaving the lecture a weaker decision than staying in my seat? By staying, was I supporting his actions?
I chose to remain in my seat, burning with indignation. I have a sister who has struggled with a life threatening eating disorder for the past decade and have watched many friends deal with the same insecurities, so WHY is it considered admissible for a male doctor to publicly pick apart a young female in a crowded room in front of complete strangers in the name of science? In a presentation where a simple power point example would have been sufficient, I was left wondering how some of my feminist heroes would have responded (including my mother, who I am sure would have given this doctor the finger shaking of his life.)
I step off my soapbox for the moment to ask you, Reader, how would you have reacted?
10 comments:
I'm horrified! I would also have stayed and waited it out, but I'd certainly be doing something about it afterward--like writing a VERY strongly worded letter to the doctor in question and to the people who engaged him to do the talk. His behaviour was beyond unacceptable, and I hate to think that he's done it before and might do it again. This was not a comedy show. You had not given your tacit consent to potentially being the target of his schtick. I'm so mad! Kudos to you for being graceful about it--but is graceful just a gender-coded term for "behaving appropriately for a woman"?ReplyDelete
This is absolutely horrific! I probably would have run out crying. And I agree with Melissa that I likely would have written to the doctor and to the venue or committee that brought him in to speak. Ugh, I'm disgusted. Even if someone in his audience did somehow "exemplify" the points he was trying to make, he still would have had absolutely NO right to comment on their bodies in that public space without their consent.ReplyDelete
Not only did he essentially engage in a physical examination of you, without your consent, but he also betrayed your privacy. If your family doctor, for instance, was to read out the details of your most recent examination to a waiting room full of patients, that would be a major breach of trust. How is this any different? Indeed, it's worse, given that you didn't consent to the examination in the first instance.ReplyDelete
Without a doubt he chose you because you are a young women and he is most likely accustomed to viewing women as objects, rather than humans. He possibly also chose you because he does this regularly and has learned from experience that women are less likely to protest what he is doing because of the way that we are trained to be polite.
I would have probably reacted the same as you, shock and anger can be equally paralyzing as motivating.
Had I eaten my wheaties, I might have taken an opportunity in the question period to ask him why he thought it appropriate to do what he did. But I would have framed that in part around the fact that pointing to lifestyle roots of cancer obscures the much more obvious causes of cancer: namely the toxins and hormone-mimickers that are almost unavoidable in our society.
I agree very strongly with Liza. And I probably would have maintained my cool, as you did, while formulating an embarrassingly (for him) lucid question for him during the question period. I have learned to refuse to become emotional in the face of these types of situations because in reacting impulsively you reduce yourself; however, a cutting question usually does the trick. I would also recommend writing a letter to the appropriate authorities.ReplyDelete
That is horrific! And, yes, I likely would have sat stewing in silence for the remainder of the event. I was talking to someone recently about harassment and she tipped me off to this great article that made me feel a lot less "guilty" about when my response to this kind of treatment is shocked silence.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the article link. It was helpful. I have a few further reflections on silence:Delete
1) sometimes it is necessary because of the people involved--some of us are not powerful enough to speak out because to do so would have really devastating consequences for our careers or lives; other times the situation is too painful and/or confusing for words and anything said will make it worse.
2) sometimes people do horribly embarrassing things because they want attention and to react would be to give them what they want, which then may make the situation worse.
3) To speak out or to react emotionally may mean losing face. I, personally, am a fan of quiet dignity, but I do recognize that it can be misread as (or can far too easily become) passivity.
It is a fine line we walk, and frankly I think I need some new shoes.
I am appalled, Jessica. Appalled. I imagine I would have done just what you did: inner turmoil and rage, and outer composure. I hope everyone will go read the Jezebel article that Liz references--so very, very true.ReplyDelete
And I hope that you will write a letter to the organizing committee.
What a great Jezebel article! Thanks for sharing, Liz. (It certainly helps me feel better about my decision).ReplyDelete
I love Melissa's question on whether or not graceful is just a gender-coded word for behaving properly as a woman. This doctor took advantage of a situation where he was in power and I was an observer and truthfully, as outspoken as I want to be when this happens to me, I froze this time and I will freeze the next time. I am not a confrontational person, despite my opinions on feminism and misogyny.
To your point, Aimee, I am an avid letter writer (See freezing issues above). Those comebacks that you think of in the middle of the night? I wrote them down, reworked them into a respectfully scathing letter and have sent it on it's way.
Thank you for your opinions everyone. And if it helps, someone asked him an exposing question during Q & A that questioned his "examination" tactics. If only it had been me...
I wouldn't have been able to remain silent, *I think*. I really don't know, though. And I'm not attaching any normative claim to whether one ought to respond. There are so many factors. A student will be far less willing to take on the public scorn than a professor (because standing up for oneself in this context wouldn't be "nice" or "collegial). But I imagine that even tenure track or tenured professors may react similarly. The prospect of the social cost and harm of standing up for oneself in this situation is quite high. Even a biting question in question period would probably get one labelled a bitch. Fucking double binds: you're weak for not reacting, but a bitch for reacting...can't win.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's truly horrible. It's definitely been eye opening when I'm at conferences and I get ganged up on, ignored, or talked over merely for being female. The first few times, I was a little incredulous: is this really happening? Yeah, it's happening...wtf? Why isn't anyone stepping in?
I think this is the way we should think about these: it's not the duty of the person being attacked to respond; rather, it's the duty of anyone observing with power to step in. In my most recent instance, my PhD supervisor was present while I was being talked over halfway through my question, and I looked at him with an unhappy face. He didn't pick up on what was happening at all. I found myself sitting back patiently, but my tone changed: "Uhh, I wasn't done. Actually, I was trying to say...." Asserting myself probably brought a little scorn on myself...
Session chairs should be better attuned to these things, and be willing and able to step in. (Of course, the people doing the harassing are the most culpable.)
I'm interested whether the good doctor engaged you in conversation upon receipt of your letter. Shockingly bad behaviour.ReplyDelete
Drop us a line! We're angling for vigorous commentary, but we will cut loose any vitriol dragged up from the depths.

(chavs really should learn that isn't a sign of weakness... it usually means your gonna get your ass kicked!!).
I love the line "Why you shaking eh?". Well, you little scrote, its probably due to all the adrenalin coursing through his veins because what he really wants to do is turn you into a gibbering wreck that has to be fed through a straw for the rest of your life! SCUM!

State offers first free ice-fishing weekend
MADISON - The DNR invites everyone to discover that "ice is nice," especially during the state's first, free, ice-fishing weekend set for Jan. 19 and 20 in Wisconsin.
Residents and nonresidents alike can fish anywhere in Wisconsin for free, with not licenses or trout stamps needed. This includes all inland waters and Wisconsin's side of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River.
"We invite everybody to get out and start a new tradition," says Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp. "Ice fishing is all about family, friends and fun. It's a great time to get out, get some fresh air and try fishing from a new perspective."
Wisconsin has long had a Free Fishing Weekend during the open-water season; it's the first Saturday and Sunday in June. An information release from the DNR says the free weekend was established under Act 168, a law passed last year aimed at boosting participation in fishing, hunting and other traditional outdoor recreation.
The DNR says 110,000 more Wisconsin adults 16 and over reported ice fishing in 2010 than the previous decade. That's an estimated 590,700 Wisconsinites 16 and older enjoying the hard-water season, according to the most recent National Survey on Recreation and the Environment.
Temperatures are now allowing lakes and rivers to freeze over, and there are plenty of places to go fishing in the state's more than 15,000 lakes; 42,000 miles of flowing rivers; and neighboring Great Lakes and the Mississippi River.
Rules governing the number and size of fish anglers can keep, as well as fishing-season dates, are still in place during the free weekend. People fishing in state parks must purchase a state-parks vehicle pass.
Check the DNR website for fishing regulations, as well as tips and videos from experts.
People can borrow some equipment such as poles and rods from one of about 20 DNR tackle-loaner sites then return it to the station for the next person. People fishing need to drill their own hole or take over an abandoned hole.

I designed the Join The Army Skatepark Tour 2009 to try and inspire riders and skaters that might not get many chances to be or get sponsored to help them follow their dreams. The tour consists of BMX and skate jam-style contests at indoor parks looking for the next Monster Army Rider to be on the Monster Army Team, basically whoever rips the park the best that day is on for one year. My band Good Guys In Black will be playing at each stop while everyone can ride and skate at the same time and giving kids a chance to see live music. I am hosting the event as well as riding, singing, and have booked, designed, scheduled and created this tour, it has been a long time coming and I wouldn't have been able to do it without Monster Energy, who is the sponsor of the tour. The event is going to go off, the parks are stoked, and kids are too. So if we are in your town bring it, homie—strut your style, go big, and let's rock-n-ride! —Rick Thorne

This blog post is sponsored by the Daedric letter for "O."
In my inbox, I received a question not too long ago about learning the Daedric Alphabet. When I spoke with Pete, I was pleasantly surprised to see that The Imperial Library is sharing the alphabet on their site. If you're dying to write your buddies, Unofficial Elder Scrolls Wiki has a great guide for studying the language.
Here's an interesting tidbit: speaking with Todd, he wanted to emphasize that officially there is no X or Y in the Daedric Alpabet, although a a few may have accidentally shown up in Morrowind. Now if I could only get a Cracker Jack-like decoder ring so I could start deciphering Todd's e-mails.

U.S. U-23 WNT Falls To Norway 2-1 at Four Nations Tournament in England
COVENTRY, UK (July 9, 2010) - The U.S. U-23 Women's National Team fell to the Norway U-23 WNT, 2-1, in its second match of the Four Nations Tournament, giving up two late goals before pulling back one of its own. The USA defeated England, 3-0, on July 7 to open the tournament.
Norway opened the scoring 78 minutes into the game as Nora Holstad Berge dribbled along right sideline and crossed into the penalty box for Ida Elise Enget who brought the ball down just inside the six, but then lost control. Elise Thorsnes was first to the loose ball and shot low into the left side of the net from six yards out.
It turned from bad to worse for the USA just two minutes later as the Americans gave up an own goal to go down, 2-0. Thorsnes crossed from right side to the far post just inside six and U.S. defender Lauren Fowlkes tried to clear the ball, but inadvertently struck it into the lower left corner.
The USA got brief life in the 86th minute when Danielle Foxhoven raced in from the left side at goalkeeper Ingrid Thorbjornsen with a defender on her hip. Thorbjornsen came out to clear the ball and collided with Foxhoven, but the University of Portland forward kept her feet and her wits to follow up with a shot low into the right corner.
The USA will finish the tournament against the Sweden U-23s on July 12.
