SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's immigration enforcement law passes constitutional muster and should be allowed to go into effect, the Utah Attorney General's Office argues in a new federal court filing.
"The United States … has mischaracterized HB497, wrongly speculated about how it might be administered by local law enforcement, and misstated and ignored relevant federal law, which expressly supports those provisions," state attorneys wrote in a response to the federal government's motion for a preliminary injunction against HB497.
The issues before the court are "neither difficult nor complicated. When analyzed in light of the rights that Congress has given the states, and the states' inherent authority, HB497 passes constitutional muster," the response said.
HB497 was passed by the 2011 Utah Legislature and signed into law in March. The law requires police to verify the immigration status of people arrested for felonies and class A misdemeanors as well as those booked into jail on class B and class C misdemeanors. It also says officers may attempt to verify the immigration status of someone detained for class B and class C misdemeanors.
A class action lawsuit was filed in May by the ACLU and National Immigration Law Center on behalf of several individuals and organizations, claiming the law is unconstitutional and will invite racial profiling. In November, the Department of Justice intervened in the lawsuit, claiming Utah's law is unconstitutional because it attempts to establish a state immigration policy.
Attorneys representing the state of Utah, however, argue that HB497 reflects the state's attempt to "undertake its supporting role in the fight against illegal immigration, within the parameters set by Congress in those statutes. Contrary to the United States' arguments, HB497 does not conflict with Congress' mandate but is entirely consistent with it."
However, DOJ attorneys have argued that HB497 would undermine the federal government's control over the regulation of immigration.
"That argument is filled with naked assertions, hyperbole and a misunderstanding of what HB497 does," Utah attorneys responded.
Federal lawyers, in seeking a preliminary injunction of the law, contend the law would cause unlawful harassment, damage the United States' relationship with immigrant communities and harm its reputation with foreign countries.
To support that position, the federal government submitted a declaration by Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, which says HB497 will antagonize foreign governments, cause retaliatory treatment of U.S. citizens and undermine the nation's standing abroad.
The Utah Attorney General's Office responded: "These concerns are purely speculative and legally irrelevant.
"As (9th Circuit Judge Carlos) Bea said, 'A foreign nation may not state a law to be pre-empted simply by complaining about the law's effect on foreign relations generally. We do not grant other nations' foreign ministries a 'heckler's veto.'" (Bea was a dissenter in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals review of United States v. Arizona.)
In a nod to states' rights, Utah also argued that any alleged harm to the United States is outweighed by harm to the state.
"Twenty-two state senators, 59 state representatives and Governor Herbert believed HB497 was necessary. Utah's state government believes that there is a problem with illegal immigration, which impacts the state of Utah in myriad ways," the response said.
The Utah Department of Corrections spends "nearly $8 million a year to keep 300 illegal immigrants in prison," state attorneys argued, quoting a June 19, 2008, KSL-TV report.
Moreover, the state spends between $54.9 million and $85.4 million of state and local expenditures for the public education of undocumented children, according to the state auditor general.1 comment on this story
Also, the state claims "Utah's medical providers incur as much as $26 million per year providing care to individuals not lawfully present in the United States," according to the state legislative fiscal analyst.
"HB497 — which constitutes the will of the people of the state of Utah, and complies with the express and implied invitation by the federal government — supports the public interest," Utah attorneys argued.
The matter is set for a hearing before U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups on Feb. 17.

Radio 1 is for the type of listener who doesn't just want to listen to music but also to listen and interact with the talent. There is every taste catered for at some point in the day. If your thing is on a some stupid hour you can listen to it again online using the iplayer service at iplayer.co.uk there is also a podcast version for free which includes non of the music but all of the chat.
There is obviously no ads on the radio being the BBC and at the moment the schedule roughly following this format:
Dev - early breakfast
moyles - breakfast
fearne cotton -morning
Greg James - afternoon
Scott Miles - drivetime
Zane Lowe - evening
after that is different each day with a different type of music catered for. There is also some good weekly special the best one for me is the show where they review the new music of the week and get special guests to rate it. The banter is always very good and opens your eyes to new things you wouldn't normally assume you would like
Ok radio 1, i use to always avoid this radio station through the 90s and the early 2000s but it is slowly kind of growing on me,
The huge huge huge advantage of this station is the lack of adverts on the radio, galaxy FM tends to be my favourite radio station however due to having to listen to 5 mins of adverts after more or less every other song i just cant bear to listen to it anymore and this is what has forced me to radio 1.
Firstly the Djs, Scott Mills and the team are pretty funny and i do enjoying listening to him, usually his show is the "on your way home from work " slot.
In the morning its Chris Moyles and the team, i can not stand this guy at all he really does bore me to tears and talks rubbish all morning with the occasional song. Sorry if you guys like him but i think there are much better radio Djs out there and this guy gets well over rated.
The music is of a good variety and i have no complaints there until after dark, sometimes in my job i have to work late at night and i fidn myself listening to radio 1 thinking " why the hell are they playing this !!!!!"
How do you write a review for an ENTIRE radio station?! There are bound to be aspects that you like and don't like. I, for example, love listening to Scott Mills and previously Colin Murray, but absolutely hate Chris Moyles and amn't a big fan of Ferne Cotton either.
But I'll try anyway....
The late night shows are generally better, I think. Since each of the DJs have mostly a specialised field of music (eg. Daniel P Carter rock show), they tend to feel much more passionately about music, unlike their daytime counterparts, who ussually just play the regular mainstream (not that theres anything wrong with mainstream, I'm not an elitist!) tracks ALL the time. Variety during the day is ussually hard to find.
Also, since they have less exposure than the daytime DJs, they tend to have a more humble approach, not blatantly roaring out: I AM THE BEST!!
I also hate how they're shamelessly promotional of everything Radio one during the day. I know that they say BBC radio stations are good because they don't have any adverts, but listen to Ferne Cotton, and you'll see how everything she says is realted to "tune in laters" or "go onlines". Bloody annoying.
But there are deffinately exceptions to this day/night rule. Some DJs I really like because they have genuine senses of humour and good music tastes. Example of the first is Scott Mills. I like how he was taking the piss a few days back of the Masterpiece thing by Zane Lowe (who just keeps talking. I don't think he knows the meaning of commas or full stops. On board! On board! on Board!!) and wanted to play the entire Busted album from start to finnish. I actually laughed out loud.
Unfortunately, the big bossess came down and put an end to it, but you get my point?
And I also really like the Live Lounge, previously owned by the serene Joe Whiley, and how it gives variety to the monotonous drone of chart songs, 20 times daily at least.
Maybe I'm just getting old but I hate Radio 1. I don't listen to it regularly but when I do usually end up turning it over in annoyance. The biggest draw is that being a BBC station they don't have adverts which is an annoyance on the local stations but I find that the presenters are too wrapped up in their own ego to provide any entertainment.
Worst of the bunch has to be Chris Moyles, I'm sorry but I just don't know how people find him funny, I think he's really annoying. Last time I ended up listening to his breakfast show I was treated to 5-10 minutes of him tuning up a guitar that he'd found in a cupboard - is that funny or entertaining? Clearly he thinks it is but not for me.
I also find Sara Cox really annoying, again her show is all about her, with stories about what she's being doing with her kids which are neither funny nor entertaining, and in the case of one I heard not so long ago about going to the zoo, just swung between boring and offensive.
I'm sure there are good programmes, if you like new music / live music / festivals etc there are probably particular programmes that cater for this very well. I just want a radio station that I can switch on at any point during the day and listen to a bit of music, maybe a bit of news or debate and Radio 1 is not the station for this.
I was never a fan of Radio 1 back in the early 2000's and before, mainly because of their attitude to their listeners and the people that rung in who were taken the piss out of by the presenter. Now though I am an avid listener.
Overall Radio 1 is pretty rubbish, it is only really prime-time radio (early morning, late afternoon, evening and night) that is really any good, DJs such as: Chris Moyles, Scott Mills, Zane Lowe and Judge Joules. I can't stand the current daytime DJs such as Edith Bowman or Sarah Cox, they just do my head in. But the decent DJs make up for this and their shows are funny, they do still play the same new songs over and over which don't seem to be out for months so that when they do come out your sick and fed up with them. I do like the fact that they bring you lots of content from festivals in the summer if you are unfortunate enough not to be able to go. Also they do have some high profile guests on their shows which are good and unlike most interviews you see on TV etc... they do get them to do some funny things.
My overall assessment of Radio 1 is that as long as you listen when you go to work and when you come back again you shall be fine.
Hi today i will be reviewing BBC Radio 1.
I usually listen to Radio 1 at night as its something to do while trying to get to sleep (not a bad thing!). I personally enjoy the Chris Moyles Show and Scott Mills mainly because I find Chris funny and Scott has some great features from the old angry pizza man wind up to the new Whats Becky's Forté
which features Becky the Assistant Producer trying to find that talent she excels at.
The Chris Moyles show is different than most other shows on Radio 1 in that its not just the presenter that gets involved the whole team have a great time and in turn help you to get ready for whatever your going to.
During the day there is Jo Whiley, Sarah Cox and Edith Bowman. I personally don't listen to these just because I'm usually busy. For the few times I have listened to them they do film reviews phone ins and play lots of music compared to Chris Moyles.
In The evening there is Zane Low who brings a lot of new music and Westwood. I don't listen to these mainly because Westwood annoys me and Zane Low from when I have listened to him isn't funny and I enjoy comedy.
At night there used to be Collin Murray who has now left sadly. I used to listen to him for his great Black Hole feature in which listeners of the show send in clips they have found on the Internet from the sesame street count with the words bleeped out to make it sound dirty to great undiscovered talent.
Early mornings are currently filled by Greg James. The only time I hear him is if i listen to Chris Moyles early. He seems to be really nice and up for anything as you will find out if you listen to any of the other shows as hes usually featured somehow.
On the weekends there is great people like Vernon Kay and Dick and Dom used to be on not sure if they still are. On Sunday there is the chart show hosted by Ferne and Reggie. Then late on Sunday there is Switch which is a combination of shows including The Surgery where listeners get help with their problems. This show is hosted by Aled the producer from The Chris Moyles Show.
All in all This is a great radio station obviously as its the BBC you get the feeling everyone is being over cautious and trying not to offend anyone but it doesn't affect the entertainment too much.
Thanks for reading
I listen to Radio 1 most days. I find that the Chris Moyles Show on my drive to work entertains me and keeps me awake, making me laugh and getting me in a good mood for thw orking day. His team are well constructed and seem to have just as much importance as Moyles himself.
The other DJ I listen to the most is probably Scott Mills. I don't rate hima s highly as most people do, as I think his team don't work quyite as well as that of Moyles. What I do like, however, are his games and quizzes. These are often hilarious, using the general public in surveys, etc.
Other DJs throughout the general working day include Jo Wilery and Edith Bowman. I like both of their shows, and I like that the niche each of them has created for themselves kind of ties in with what daytime TV would be doing, such as phone ins and film reviews and music. Wiley is known as being a bit of a pioneer of new music, and is good at finding new artists and featuring established ones doing covers in her live lounge.
I don't often get a chance to listen to Radio1 in the evenings, but on occasion I have sort of enjoyed shows from DJs suchas Zane Lowes and Westwood, when they're on. I couldn't listen to them for too long, though.
Weekends see Vernon Kay and Sara Cox give a more relaxed and fun attitude to the show's construction, emphasising that it's a weekend and a time to relax and enjoy bed, festivals and going out, or perhaps spending the day with family. Sunday afternoons have the chart show, currenrly with Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates.
There are plenty of other DJs, but these are the ones I manage to catch and remember more than the others. I rate it very highly, but the one thing you don't often get is detailed news analysis, which I fin a bit disappointing. The news os reported, but the emphasis on radio 1 is firmly towards the entertainment side of things. There are often guests on promoting films and music, andthese take precedence over the politicians and representatives that other stations such as Radio 4 or 5 would give us.
Overall, I really like Radio 1. Sure, it doesn't cover everything, but then the BBC target it at a stereotypically younger generation, intending to attract those who want to listen to entertainmet and fun, knowing full well they have other stations which focus on news and poliical debate and current affairs. For me, I flick, as I would do with the TV, but if I need waking up and want to be in a good mood, as opposed to a thoughtful and pensive one, then Radio 1 it often is!
I am an avid Radio 1 listener. It's even playing as I type this.
Growing up, I used to listen to the local station, but my patience grew thin with the constant dodgy adverts - why do they always have to be so childish yet catchy so you find yourself humming them later on??
Since joining the ranks of 'employee' Radio 1 has become the station of choice. Mainly because of the up-to-date music and lack of adverts.
Thats not to say some aspects dont grate.
Although Mr Moyles wakes me every morning, sometimes I have to turn him off. The rants that man gets on can really grate on my nerves, and the lack of music and time checks do bug me. The amount of times I've laid there waiting for the half seven news before getting up, only for them to say it's 7.35 and hand over to the news late! It can get very annoying.
That said, the guests are top-notch and tend to bring the best out of the breakfast crew.
I don't get to listen to jo Whiley much, but I do love the live-lounge when I get the chance. Radios in the morning tend to be frowned upon at work, tho actively encouraged come afternoon!
That brings us to Edith Bowan. Used to love the show she did with Colin Murray, and it did take her a long time to get used to not having him beside her i think. Now tho, she's in full stride. But some of the music she plays can only be described as rubbish! Most is good, but the occasional 'new' music she throws out has me reaching for the tuning dial!
Scott Mills is not my favourite presenter, I have to state here and now. I find his humour childish, so will say no more about his show. I tend to switch the car radio to Chris Evans (Radio2) for the ride home instead.
From the weekend crew, we get my favourite two presenters of the whole station. Vernon Kay and Sara Cox. They are both so bubbly and down-to-earth it's like sitting down with a good friend for a chin-wag!
When they cover the week-presenters it's always guaranteed to be playing in my office - lucky that my colleagues happen to agree!
The chart show on Sunday is what you'd expect. Fern Cotton and Reggie Yates are good together, but it seems to be rare that they do it together these days. Other commitments I guess, and they've taken to bringing a guest presenter in to sit with the remaining one.
As i stated, I do listen to this station. I've tried to give just a quick round-up of the shows I hear, without rambling too much, so sorry if I've missed someone or haven't gone into enough detail for some of you.
I'd recommend this station, although my bloke is a Radio 2 man as he keeps reminding me (I take it as meaning he's an old fart!).
I think music can keep you young, and the mix of recent and new music this station plays will certainly do that - I feel younger now than when I left school!
Well I listen to Radio 1 all the time. As it's really the only radio show with no adverts, (apart from it's own) it's the only one I enjoy. There is a wide variety of music on there, and it really does give everyone a chance to find something they will enjoy.
These are the day time shows:
Chris Moyles: Chris does the breakfast show, I think he is fantastic. Although he can be a little vulgar at times overall I think he is a comic genious. I used to listen to him when he did afternoons and think he has improved with time. The team he has on there with him only make the show better, they always make me smile in the morning.
Joe Whiley: Joe is an institution. She has been on the channel for as long as I can remember. While she lacks the comedy skills of other presenters she really knows her music. The Live lounge's she does have to be the highlight of the show. She get some real big artists in and there have been some classic moments.
Edith Bowman: Edith does not quite do it for me. I just find her a little irritating. She plays good music but don't think she is quite up to standard, I would much rather have seen Sara Cox take this slot as I think she is far more entertaining.
Scott Mills: I didn't like him at first. But now I do. Some of the features on the show are brilliant and really do make me smile. He has no shame and makes sure everyone knows it! Again he plays pretty good music although all the daytime shows just tend to play stuff off the playlist.
Then at night there are a range of shows you can listen to. Shows that feature Hip Hop with Tim Westwood (who I really can't stand!) rock shows, new music, dance music something for everyone. Zane Low is one of the highlights in the evening, he brings in a lot of new music and picks up some real gems! Really worth a listen.
My personnal favorite is Colin Murray. He has had the 10pm show for a few years, however he is finishing as of next week. A real shame as the new music and alternative classics he plays are nothing short of stunning! Mixed with some genious comedy clips he finds around and some really weird music. This has been the best show I have ever heard on the radio and am sad to see it go.
Overall a really good radio station. Plenty on there for everyone to enjoy!
If you live in the UK, as I think most people that use Dooyoo do (that's quite fun to say!) then chances are you will have listened to Radio 1, most likely recently, maybe even today or maybe even as you're reading this. It's everywhere. On a sunny day you will hear it in peoples cars when their windows are down, in shops, a park, everywhere!
From 6.30 in the morning Chris Moyles will greet you. Most people either love him or hate him and there seems to be very few people who fall in between the two. I used to like him more but I think recently he has fallen off from his best work and I wouldn't agree that he is worth the huge salary that he gets. Dominic Byrne on the other hand is worth whatever the BBC pays him. The man makes anything he does worth listening to. Driving along in the morning I couldn't help but laugh at the things he says. The other main member of the Chris Moyles team is Comedy Dave. Again like Chris Moyles he was funnier a few years ago in my opinion. The one thing I will say without doubt in Chris Moyles' favour is that he introduced the world to Longman. A shop owner turned fitness trainer his calls into the show from time to time were some of the funniest moments. I still laugh when thinking that "Mickey Mouse won't let Longman in his house" or Dominic the Donkey!
The middle of the day schedule I'm not too much of a fan of. Jo Wiley and Edith Bowman are the usual presenters for the daytime slots. I can't really say Im a big fan of either. Jo Wiley does tend to focus largely on music, which is no bad thing, but for some reason I still can't find myself 'enjoying' her shows. Edith Bowman I just find annoying now. When she was working with Colin Murray I thought the 2 of them worked brilliantly together and I listened to them most days when possible. Since he left to do his own show, she seems to have just become very moody and if anyone criticises or disagrees with her opinion they are usually met with a grunt and some sort of moody reply. The idea of having a programme that largely features movies is good though.
The drive time presenter is Scott Mills. My favourite presenter on the whole radio. I think he is just brilliant. Every show is hilarious and the ideas they come up with are so funny. Even on the radio they somehow manage to get across to the listener what is happening when they are doing more physical entertainment. Sometimes it can be childish but that is right up my street. The American phone book game especially was genius! Chappers and Becky, and formerly Laura, also add in their pieces to make the show the best on the radio.
The night time presenters vary too each night with the "In New Music We Trust" shows which focus on different genre each day so there's something for everyone. Before these shows is Zane Lowe, who by all accounts, is a highly knowledgeable music lover who provides good music and interviews with the biggest names in music.
I would listen to Radio 1 more than any other station although not necessarily for the presenters. They play all the newer music that is coming out so if it's reasonably popular then it will probably be played. The variety is also a bonus that could get the listener introduced into someone they wouldn't normally listen to. Overall, they do a good job of providing listenable to music but their presenters could easily be upgraded if they tried that little bit more.
Radio one? Now that has got to be my favourite radio station - I tend to be a bit of a channel flicker so I switch occasionally to my local radio station. This is just because I like to hear things about my local area but as soon as the adverts kick in I'm back to good old radio 1 who'll never be guilty of boring me with endless ads (Oh yes! that's what I pay my T.V license for!). So I'd say i'm definately more of a radio one girl.
In this review I'm going to do a summary of Chris Moyle's breakfast show and of Scott Mill's drive time - simply because these are the main shows I listen to in my working week (the way there and the way back). I am making the assumption that these are the main, most popular shows for this reason. I'll also put in a brief who's who of some of the main DJ'S and their time slots.
The Breakfast show ~
Ahhh good old Moylesy, and yes I am one of those who finds him funny (I know many find him very irritating). I am often to be caught laughing out loud as I drive myself to work. As the show starts bang on 6.30am and lasts until 10am I pretty much catch it every morning regardless of what shift I'm on. The show is fronted by Chris Moyles, Chris has a few pals with him on these early morning stints, these are; Dominic Bryne (News), Carrie Davis (sport), Aled Jones - who also has his own shows on radio 1, Rachel Jones (of no relation to Aled as far as I know) and of course Comedy dave! This lot have fantastic chemistry together and the banter is just gold. A few things that do annoy me though are the lack of music (although this has gotten better recentely) I have in the past driven the whole journey to work which is between 25 minutes and half an hour and not heard a single track. I suppose they do redeem themselves with the absence of adverts on this one though. The other issue I have is they sometimes do watchable shows and I think because of this they sometimes assume you can see them and do jokes that rely on this. In summary though, Chris Moyles is a comedy genius and I love him for getting me to work every day.
Drive time ~
This is another one which I catch most evenings as I think it goes from 4pm to 7pm, This at the moment has some really funny bits on it - two of my favourites being 'Oh, what's occuring!?' and 'the posh radio four lady' who reads out texts, letters and emails to the show. Doot, Mon. In 'Oh, what's occuring!?' they do things like go to Stupid street - a real street!, and ask people random questions. Or try to guess how many times Sara Cox talks about food in one show or how many times Chris Moyles trys to flirt with a singer from the Saturdays in one interview with her - all very entertaining. I also like 'The Game with no Name' in which Scott gets listener's to text in their favourite song of all time and then plays three at random - I love this because potentially any song could be played - mine would be Kate Bush - This Woman's Work (still waiting for the day when Scott will play it). This show is fronted by Scott Mills who is joined by Mark Chapman (better known as Chapper's), The one who doesn't speak (Who is actually the producer) And Beccy Huxtable who is the assistant producer. As on Chris Moyles' breakfast show these lot have great chemistry and great banter together, their conversations can include anything from Scooby Doo, to Pampous grass!

Radio 1 is a popular music radio station from the BBC. It's available throughout the UK on FM or DAB and around the world via the world wide web.
I think it's fair to say that I'm not in the target audience for radio 1's standard audience, which I think is probably 12 to 30 year olds. I'm sadly a long way over that! However I've been a fan since not long after the station launched (in 1967!) and have stuck with it over the years.
The station plays popular music from the charts during the day, and then goes a bit more alternative with lesser known rock music in the evenings. It plays more dance music and urban music at the weekend (or so I'm told by my son - I only listen during the day on weekdays).
A big plus for me over commercial radio is the lack of advertisements on Radio 1. There is sometimes a bit too much talking on the Breakfast show with Chris Moyles, but he's often very funny so I can forgive him if he prattles on for a while. He also gets some big name stars on his show and interviews them in a very humorous manner.
Mid morning has been the slot for Jo Whiley for the last number of years and she is fairly inoffensive. She regularly has artists performing in her 'live lounge' where the band or singer will cover a famous song which is always very entertaining.
Edith Bowman does a show in the early afternoon where she reads out listeners text messages and has a film expert take over her show most days.
Scot Mills has the drive time slot. His show isn't so good and has lots of fake items with 'Chappers' and 'Becky'. It always seems like a very poor imitation of the Chris Moyles breakfast show to me.
All in all Radio1 plays good music, even for the middle-aged generation, albeit with some irritating dj's.
'You are listening to Radio 1 and I am chris moyels" These are the words which I crave to hear at half past six every morning. While I am still very much asleep The happy, larger than life Chris Moyels is funnier than ever. It is a great start to the morning, and I know many of you agree! Chris moyels is always cracking jokes and makes for great listening. He is always interviewing celebrities and just generally taking the mick out of them! There is alwasy a selection of music, but it is generally pop, indie and dance. There are always the latest up and coming artists on the sataion and offers a wide range of shows for different dance styles. I also love listening to Scott Mills on the way home, who is always getting people to do daft things in the name of music. He is deffinetly a pop type guy, playing the latest tunes. I thourghly recomend listening to Radio 1. Go on ditch those generick local shows and gor the creme de la creme of the radio!
BBC Radio One.
I listen to Radio everyday and tune in to the Chris Moyles show and Jo Whilely then its home time :D, I have been listening now for 2 years solid. I love the different mix of music andb the good funny conversation on air between the radio 1 Dj's.
FIRSTYLY Chris Moyles! what a legend. not only a Leeds United fan but probably the best radio DJ around at the moment with him been backed up brilliantly with the other radio 1 dj's.
The different conversattions on mornings get you pulled into the conversation and makes you talk at work about it, i love the car park catch phrase which is on going at the moment which me and fella at work have applied for! I love the different music played on Radio one like I said previous i love the fact they play the new, the old and play the new releases.
The Radio one podcasts are available aswell released on the saturday of every week which gives you an over view of whats happened on the show through the week. I really enjoy listening to radio one above any other radio stations.
You can tune into radio one on FM 98.8 or tune in via the internet on bbc.co.uk and go to radio then radio one.
I would seriously recommend anyone listening to radi one with the great music, good conversation and the general mickey taking also the funny call in games which are played!
Radio 1 the best radio station around
I started listening to radio 1 around 3 years ago and I absolutely love it. Even if I dont manage to listen to it while its on live. I tend to have a listen online and by downloading there pod casts.
You have such a range of brilliant djs my favourite being Scott Mills and Chris Moyles.
Radio 1 plays such a mixture of music the old and the new stuff. I havent been listening as much in the last few months due to me having a baby and I tend to be quite busy, but I do really miss it. I found that I got really engrossed in the djs themselves and enjoyed the different they each do.
Scott Mills
Scott mills makes me laugh so much I loved his Lauras diary and 1 night with Laura thing he did. It was hilarious.
He would everyday get Lauras sister to read out a section from Lauras old diary over the phone live on the radio. Laura is a lady who works on the show with him. It turned out that Laura was quite unlucky in love and then came part 2 which was 1 night with Laura.
This was a competition that he set up where as they toured around the country doing auditions for men to spend a night with Laura and to find her love.
Scott mills is on every weekday from 4-7.
He also does flirt divert. Which is a funny thing to. He gives out the flirt divert mobile number to every1 who wants it on the radio. Youre supposed to give it to people who chat you up who you dont like and he plays the messages left on the number out on the radio. You get some really strange people on these messages. Its a great listen.

You can take part in different things on radio one online like rat my listener. Which is where you rate what you think of a radio 1 listener who has posted there picture online and who speaks on the show on the day that they are up to be rated. You can do lots of different things on there website like listening to the radio live on the pc. Or listening to previous shows and downloads there podcasts.
There are no adverts on radio 1 aswell which I like you just have music and great djs to listen to throughout the day and night.

A portable company file is a compact version of your company file containing
only financial data, and is small enough to be sent by email or saved to
portable media. You can use a portable company file whenever you need to move your company
financial data to another location or send it to another person.
What does a portable company file contain?
A portable file contains only your company file financial data. Unlike a backup file, it doesn't contain related files such as letters, logos, images, and templates. It also doesn't contain a transaction log (.tlg file), which can be used to restore transaction data with the help of Intuit Technical Support if damage or loss occurs.
How do portable files work?
Email or move a company file
Exchange files with my accountant
Move my company file to a new computer
If the other person will make changes to your company file and then return the file to you, you shouldn't continue working on your original company file.
If you're working with your accountant, consider using an Accountant's copy instead.
When the other person is finished making changes to the company file, they return a portable company (.qbm) file to you, which you open as a QuickBooks company (.qbw) file. You can't merge changes made by the other person into your existing company file. Instead, you use the new company file in place of your existing one. When you open the new company file, it overwrites your existing company file unless you rename it.
When you give someone a portable file, they need the administrator password in order to return the portable company file to you.
This gives the person access to all areas of QuickBooks. The person can enter any type of transaction and can view all existing data; they can also change the administrator password.
Important: If your company file is synced with Intuit online services,
follow these guidelines to decide whether a portable company file is the right choice.

I ordered a fruit tree from Rolling River, because I was looking for a specific cultivar that was difficult to find in my local nurseries. My interactions with the company were fine, but I was very disappointed at the very small size of the tree compared to the ones at the local nursery. The caliber of the trunk was comparable to a pencil, and it will take several years before it reaches fruit-bearing size. In retrospect, it definitely would have been better to spend a little more and get a larger tree elsewhere.
When I ordered, the response time was a little lacking. The trees were high quality, although a few of them died over the winter, which was probably my fault during a drought. I have been emailing them to try to get replacements, and again the email response time is quite lacking, and the recordkeeping seems a little lackadaisical. on the other hand, so is mine. I couldn't find my original invoice.
After playing email tag with them for a little bit, I am now planning on going to another nursery to get my replacements.

Oceanside Harbor will be full of nautical nostalgia this weekend during the city's third annual Tall Ships Festival.
Three ships ---- the Privateer Lynx, the revenue cutter Californian and the topsail schooner Amazing Grace ---- will participate in the event. (The Lynx sailed in Nov. 1 and has been offering dockside tours all week.)
Festival opening ceremonies will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday, during which 35 local Marines and their families will take a free sail on the Lynx. Winds permitting, the Lynx will sail out of the harbor and rendezvous at sea with the two other tall ships. All three are scheduled to sail back into Oceanside Harbor on Friday afternoon if all goes well, according to event organizer Liz Rhea.
The full festival will get under way Saturday with two days of boat tours, battle sails and a dockside festival with costumed pirates, live entertainment, vendors and even some mermaids.
All three tall ships will be open for dockside tours from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday and Nov. 8. On both afternoons, the public can book passage on the ships for battle sails (from 1 to 4 p.m.), during which the ships will sail out of the harbor, fire their cannons and participate in mock battles. Parents with small children should be aware that the loud cannon blasts may frighten small children.
From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Nov. 8, the dockside festival will feature vendor booths and educational displays. Costumed re-enactors from several regional pirate guilds will teach the public about the pirate life in the 1800s, with a special pirate show featuring the cast of "Pirate Adventure" both days at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Children should keep an eye peeled for mermaids, Poseidon, Capt. Jack and Elizabeth and Will, and belly dancers. Live entertainment at the festival will include Rillian and the Doxie Chicks, Mister Mac's Musical Mermaid Show, belly dancers, sword-fighting demonstrations, a parrot show and more. And at noon each day, children can compete in a costume contest.
The Jolly Roger Restaurant at Oceanside Harbor is also planning a dinner-and-cruise package Saturday, though details have not been confirmed.
Although North County residents have become accustomed to seeing the Newport Beach-based Lynx in Oceanside every six months or so, this will be last opportunity to see the ship for the next five years. After leaving Oceanside, the Lynx will sail to San Diego on Nov. 11 for one last battle sail (against the Californian on Nov. 15) before it sails to the East Coast for a five-year stay. The ship will take passengers on several one- to two-week voyages south along the Mexican and Central American coast, through the Panama Canal and north to Florida over the next couple of months.
The Lynx was designed and built to interpret a privateer ---- a mercenary ship ---- or naval schooner from the War of 1812. The Lynx was used to train the crew of actors for the Disney movie "Pirates of the Caribbean." Built in 1984, the Californian is a replica of a mid-19th century revenue cutter and is the official tall ship of the state of California.
And the Amazing Grace ---- making its first visit to Oceanside this week ---- is an 83-foot topsail schooner based out of Gig Harbor in Washington's Puget Sound. Like the Lynx, the ship re-creates a British schooner from the War of 1812.
Admission to the Tall Ship Festival is free. Dockside tours range from $5 to $7. Battle sails are priced from $35 to $55 per person. To register in advance for either of the battle sails, visit www.privateerlynx.com, call 866-466-5969 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Oceanside Tall Ship Festival
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Nov. 8
Where: Dolphin Dock, Oceanside Harbor, Oceanside
Festival admission: Free; battle sail fees are $35-$55; boat tours are $5 to $7

ASU Softball battles, sweeps weekend-ending doubleheaderPosted: Updated:
Good teams still find a way to win even when they don't have their best stuff going and the No. 5 Arizona State University softball team exemplified that on Saturday afternoon as the squad wrapped up the Littlewood Classic in Tempe, Ariz.
The Sun Devils rallied from behind to beat Illinois State, 4-2, before capping the doubleheader with a 7-4 victory over San Jose State in a contest where the team had to hold off a vicious Spartan rally. With the effort, ASU finished the tournament with a perfect 4-0 record along with the non-tournament victory over Tennessee State on Thursday to compile a 5-0 record over three days.
Bethany Kemp was the star of the weekend on offense, finishing the five games in the last three days with five hits, five runs and four home runs for a wicked 1.417 slugging percentage while accounting for 17 total bases.
In two appearances, pitcher Dallas Escobedo allowed just two hits and two runs while striking out 23 batters in two complete games. Escobedo thwarted the defending NCAA Champions in No. 11 Oklahoma in a one-hit performance that saw the Sun Devils post a 7-0 victory.
Up next for the Sun Devils, the will take on the Drake Bulldogs on Thursday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. at Farrington Stadium before taking part in the Diamond Devil Invitational that weekend.
Complete recaps of Saturday's action can be found below.
By Patrick Wagner, ASU Media Relations
Arizona State 7, San Jose State 4
In their second game of the double-header and their last of the Littlewood Classic, the No. 5 Sun Devils (11-0) fended off the San Jose State Spartans (7-3), 7-4, at Farrington Stadium on Saturday evening.
It did not take long for the Sun Devil offense to put a run on the board as SS Cheyenne Coyle advanced and scored from third on a throwing error from San Jose 2B Devin Caldwell. The Spartan attempted to catch OF Alix Johnson in a pickle after the Johnson got stuck between bases on a steal attempt; but Caldwell tossed the ball into the dugout, allowing Coyle to score and put ASU up 1-0 in the first.
In the second 1B Bethany Kemp took a full count pitch deep to left for her first home run of the night, putting the Sun Devils up by two, and it wouldn't be the last time the Spartans heard from Kemp.
The Sun Devils put four more on the board in the third, two coming from a bases loaded throwing error by Caldwell, which would have ended the inning, scoring both DH Amber Freeman and 3B Haley Steele. In the following at bat, 2B Nikki Girard singled to right field, OF Elizabeth Caporuscio scored from third and Kemp - scoring for the second time – came home from second as the Sun Devils took a 6-0 lead.
Keeping on track, Kemp belted her second solo homer of the afternoon in her third at bat, scoring her third run and putting the Sun Devils up by seven. Over the course of the weekend Kemp had five hits, four of which came on home runs.
On the mound for Arizona State, Mackenzie Popescue, pitched a complete game. The senior gave up nine hits but allowed only one earned run, battling through the sixth and seventh innings that saw the Spartans threaten, putting three runs up in the third and one run up in the seventh. Popescue battled, however, picking up her team-leading sixth victory of the season as she improved to 6-0.
Arizona State 4, Illinois State 2
In their first game of a double header on Saturday, the Sun Devils beat the Illinois State Red Birds, 4-2.
In the circle, Dallas Escobedo threw seven innings of work, allowing the Red Birds only two hits - one being the two-run homerun by Red Birds 3B Sara Bradley that accounted for the only two runs allowed by Escobedo on the day. The Sun Devil ace also threw eleven strikeouts while only walking one batter.
Escobedo improved to 5-0 on the season with the victory and has given up just three runs over the course of the weekend.
The Sun Devil offense was not without it's own struggles as the team were were without a base runner until the fourth inning where C Amber Freeman chopped a double into left field but the team was unable to capitalize as ASU found itself in a 2-0 whole through 4.5 innings
The rally came in the fifth inning however as, with two on, 2B Nikki Girard put a double into right field scoring both OF Elizabeth Caporuscio from third and DH Chelsea Gonzalez from second.
After, the Sun Devils managed two more successive base runners to load the bases. That brought up OF Alix Johnson who launched a double to the left field wall, scoring OF Bailey Wigness and PR Allie Butterfield and giving the Sun Devils a 4-2 lead that they would not relinquish.

IP search tool pulls in data from web databases
Post a comment
A collaborative effort between researchers at Stanford University and the University of Bologna is producing a new Java-based tool that promises to allow users on the web to more easily query IP repositories and commercial databases to find the core best suited for a given design project.
Luca Benini of the University of Bologna, presented a paper he co-authored with Stanford Univerity's Ting Zhand and Giovanni De Micheli at DATE.
The new JavaCAD tool is still a work in progress but promises to allow users to search IP databases using extensible markup language (XML)
"The tool was implemented in Java and features a secure client-server architecture that provides estimation, and IP evaluation and verification via the Internet without revealing IP details before an actual sale has taken place," said Banini.
The tool itself encourages core vendors to package their cores and users to query databases using the extensible markup language (XML).
Benini explained that IP vendors enter attributes of their core in XML or in precompiled Java objects loaded from files. The tool parses IP queries into a document object model (DOM) that it then transforms it to an internal tree-structured model. The tree model has several "branches" that describe particular attributes of a core.
The tool's "match engine" incorporates a "fuzzy" search capability that allows users unsure of what they want to specify selection criteria that are partially defined.
"The tool is used in an iterative process," said Benini. Users can query the engine to find IP that loosely fits a given projects' functionality requirements. Users can search for criteria such as power, throughput and area among others.
As the design becomes more rigidly defined, the users can then do more precise queries and set several specific criteria to find the best cores for their designs. The match engine ranks cores based on how many user defined criteria match the attributes in the tree model.
Once the user picks a core, the tool ships the core from the server to the user and the core model is instantiated.
Benini said the researchers built their own XML repository containing 1000 cores to test out the system, but hopes are that the tool could be linked in the future to commercial IP exchanges, such as Design & Reuse and VCX. He said the researchers also want to extend the matching engine's capabilities, adding more detailed functionality.
Benini said however there is currently no plan to commercialise the technology, especially as it is still a project under development.

text: I am a 4.0 player that could be close to a 4.5. I serve hard and have decent groundies. I am trying to get to the net more as I transition from singles to doubles with age. I play with a babolat pure drive roddick plus which I like, now strung at 48 / 50 lbs. I started stringing my own racquets about 6 years ago. Initially, I used a cheap synthetic gut at high tensions which was ok, but the strings broke very often (about 2-3 hours of play). 3 Years ago I switched to a hybrid of the cheapest babolat poly for the mains and the babolat synthetic for the crosses. I immediately liked the added spin. And the extended life of the strings was fantastic but there was increased tenderness in the elbow before I dropped the tension and I flet like I was missing some touch. As a new reader of this forum I am finding very few of you like the babolat strings (especially the cheap stuff which I formerly bought). I would like to experiment with higher quality strings but I am curious what the seasoned stringer would recomend transitioning to? I definately like the the poly / synthetic hybrid but would like added feel. ANy help you could prvide would be wonderful.

The Adjustment CAUSES Nerve Interference?
By David Seaman, DC, MS, DABCNStudies suggest that nervous system hyperexcitability can be reduced by a spinal adjustment. This could easily lead one to conclude that subluxations cause nervous system hyperexcitability, which is reduced by the adjustment, which leads to nerve interference.
Consider, for example, that humans suffer with conditions associated with increased nerve activity. Pain is the best example. The great majority of afferent fibers innervating spinal joint tissues are group IV afferents, which typically function as nociceptors.1,2 Their activity dramatically increases with tissue,3,4 as does central nociceptive processing,5 and the outcome is pain.
One of the best-studied outcomes of spinal adjusting is the reduction of back pain, which suggests that the adjustment interferes with overactive nociceptive neurons. Reviews of the literature suggest that the adjustment stimulates afferent fibers that reduce nociceptive activity.4,5 So, should we say that the adjustment causes nociceptive nerve interference?
What About Visceral Symptoms?
It is not uncommon for DCs to report that patients with visceral symptoms improve after an adjustment. Review articles have discussed various mechanisms; the most likely cause of visceral symptoms is increased nociceptive input and associated increased suprasegmental, and perhaps, segmental autonomic activity.4,6 Accordingly, when an adjustment relieves a patient of visceral symptoms, should we say that the adjustment causes nociceptive and autonomic nerve interference?
What About Changes in Paraspinal Muscle Activity?
EMG activity was assessed in paraspinal muscles while pressure was applied to the spinous processes of painful and nonpainful spinal motion segments.7 A significant increase in bilateral EMG was found in the painful segment compared with the nonpainful segment. After an adjustment was applied to the painful motion segment, there was a significant reduction in EMG activity when pressure was again applied to the spinous process, suggesting that the adjustment may reduce nociceptive activity and related hyperactive muscle activity in a painful spinal motion segment. Should we conclude that the adjustment causes nerve interference in the sensory and motor systems?
In another study, EMG activity was assessed during quiet standing and during a complex movement (the golf swing) in a professional golfer with chronic low back pain. After a chiropractic adjustment, it was determined that there was a decrease in muscle activity during quiet standing after the completion of movement, during independent quiet standing, and during the golf swing. Should we conclude that the adjustment causes nerve interference to the motor system?
In still another study, the H-reflex was measured before and after massage and spinal adjustments, to determine if either intervention causes changes in motor neuron activity. Massage subjects exhibited no significant reduction in motoneuronal activity immediately following administration. Spinal manipulation produced a transient reduction of alpha motoneuronal excitability. Paraspinal and limb massage did not inhibit the motoneuron pool as measured immediately post-therapy. These findings support the supposition that spinal manipulation procedures lead to short-term inhibitory effects on motoneuron excitability to a greater magnitude than massage.9 Should we conclude that the adjustment causes a greater degree of nerve interference in the motor nervous system compared to massage? And should we also conclude that massage therapy is not as effective as a chiropractic adjustment, because massage does not cause nerve interference as effectively as an adjustment?
Problems With My Theory That the Adjustment Causes Nerve Interference
For those who might be misinterpreting what they have read thus far, I am not serious about using the term "nerve interference" in the fashion described above. I don't think we should say that the adjustment causes nerve interference, because the adjustment can have both inhibitory and excitatory responses. However, at the same time, there is no evidence or compelling reason to suggest that subluxations cause nerve interference and that the adjustment corrects nerve interference. The term "nerve interference" does not seem to apply to subluxation or post-adjustment neurologic changes.
One thing we can say for sure is that the adjustment stimulates somatic afferents. When adjusting a spine, we apply pressure through the skin and muscles, and then gap spinal joints; this process stimulates somatic afferents. If you were blindfolded, lying prone, and had your mid-dorsals adjusted, you would know it because the somatic afferentation would lead to cortical stimulation and the realization that your midthoracic spine was adjusted. This being said, no one knows exactly how, or to what extent, afferents are activated during an adjustment, and we don't know the details about the central effects of the adjustment. We have some ideas and reasonable hypotheses, as described earlier, but we don't for sure know about the precise mechanisms.
It is quite possible that the adjustment stimulates somatic afferents (group I-IV fibers),10 resulting in both inhibitory and excitatory effects in the central nervous system. My suspicion is that reduced movement and inflammation in a spinal motion segment lead to reduced mechanoreception and increased nociception, which may be normalized or modulated by the adjustment.4
Pickar recently reviewed the literature, and not surprisingly, it is not clear what occurs in the CNS after an adjustment. There are likely to be both excitatory and inhibitory reflex changes in the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.11 In this regard, consider that by measuring the H-reflex, Dishman determined that the adjustment inhibits segmental outflow of motoneurons.9 However, when motor neuron pool excitability was measured directly by central corticospinal activation with transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques, a transient but significant facilitation occurred as a consequence of spinal manipulation. Thus, a basic neurophysiologic response to spinal manipulation is central motor facilitation.12 Clearly, the adjustment has both central inhibitory and excitatory effects.
The term "nerve interference" really does not fit well when used in its classic sense, or in the manner I suggested earlier. This is because dysfunction of spinal joints, or subluxation, is likely to lead to inhibition and excitation of various pools of central neurons, and the adjustment is likely to modulate such inhibitory/excitatory activity.
The best hypothesis we have working for us is the idea that the adjustment activates somatic afferents, and such stimulation results in modulation of central nociceptive processes and central modulation of sensory-motor and autonomic processes. However, we do not know the degree of such changes, their duration, or exactly how they operate in the clinical setting.
What this basically means is that a trial of adjustments may provide relief for patients with back pain, headaches, sensory-motor disturbances, and perhaps certain visceral symptoms. As long as no red flags are present, a trial of adjustments is not an unreasonable choice, which means that many people should be visiting the local chiropractor to see how an adjustment can favorably modulate their nervous systems.

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — 14 August 2006
Dear Valued Customer,
This is to inform you that ZLB Behring has decided to in-source our warehouse and distribution functions. Since 2004, ZLB Behring outsourced these services to a third party logistics management company, RX Crossroads, (formerly known as MDI), to store and distribute products on our behalf. We will continue to utilize RX Crossroads' services throughout 2006 as we deplete inventory at their warehouse.
I am pleased to announce that commencing in September, orders will begin to ship from our distribution center in Bradley, Illinois. I should note that the distribution center will be warehousing and distributing our products only. Customer Support and other support functions will remain in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
As we transition to the distribution center in the coming weeks, some of your shipments will originate from Bradley, Illinois. From a customer service perspective, this change will be transparent. The only difference will be the "shipped from" information on the packing list and invoice.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this initiative, please contact your local ZLB Behring representative.

Mogwai get a little help from their friends
Album Review: Mogwai, A Wrenched Virile Lore (Rock Action)
Over the course of 15 years, Mogwai have redrawn the lines of post-rock with Stuart Braithwaite and friends delivering squalled, caterwauling guitars and thrilling walls of noise.
Despite what you might think from its title, this remix album does not ratchet the amps up another notch. Instead, a host of Mogwai associates take the songs from one of the band's best albums, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, and reworks them thoroughly.
And, for the most part, the emphasis is on nuance and texture.
RM Hubbert works wonders on Mexican Grand Prix, reimagining the song as a gentle folk number, while one of Hardcore's highlights, Rano Pano, is given a clubby overhaul thanks to Klad Hest's inventive drum'n'bass.

They're professionals and are undoubtedly very good at what they do, but after reading that, I feel OK with disagreeing with their assessment.Last year, Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara received the top grade from National.
It was a 7.3 for him as well as Iowa defensive end Adrian Clayborn followed by Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich (7.2), who went undrafted following his bout with cancer, Miami defensive end Allen Bailey (6.9), Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller (6.9, Pitt defensive Greg Romeus (6.8), North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin (6.7), Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder (6.7), Washington quarterback Jake Locker (6.7), Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea (6.5), Boston College offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo (6.5) and Mississippi State defensive end Pernell McPhee (6.4) and Penn State offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski (6.4).
Pryor's lawyer, Larry James, explained to the AP that his client was not trying to cheat the system by declaring himself for the draft in late-May.
"I don't think anybody on this planet who's paying attention to this thought Terrelle was attempting to game the system" by leaving school early for the NFL, James said.
I have to say that I 100% agree with that, even as a Pryor hater. The guy wasn't trying to get around the normal draft. Before the entire mess unfolded, I believe he had every intention of playing his last 7 games of his career under Tressel.
Pryor wrote on Twitter after Clayton (the source for that article) said he was ineligible:
As soon as I get updated on supp draft, from a real source, I'll let you guys know! God Bless
No no shots at kind sir Mr Clayton! Just when I hear it from my source @RosenhausSports ! have blessed weekend and safe!
Maybe he's not ineligible yet?
anyone the Jets should be looking at?
any pass rushers?
@AdamSchefterOnly two players eligible for supplemental draft so far are Georgia RB Caleb King and N. Illinois DB Tracy Wilson. No word yet on T. Pryor.
King has serious talent. Very highly recruited coming out of HS. If we needed a RB it would be a no brainer. But we don't.
Don't know anything about Tracy Wilson tho.
NFL: Supplemental draft has been postponed. What the f am I supposed to do with the rented catering hall?
T-Pryor sucks. So does Tebow and Brad "I just Conned The Bills into Giving Me $15 million" Smith.

See Antonio gates who never played college football and was never the basketball player T Pryor was. T Pryor was rated the seventh power forward in the Nation.(scouts tend to think that position power forward tend to make pretty good NFl Te candidtae) I like his chances to be a top Te or redzone offense weapon. To me thats why this pick was a no brainer for the raiders.
the Raiders may have the fastest 4x100 squad in the league, but the last time I checked this is football not track.
Just suck baby. No 2nd 3rd or 4th next year, welcomes to Redskins West.
Gonna need that 1st round pick for Mr Luck.
God I Love stupid organizations, see Miami, Oakland, Buffalo, Cleveland.
Again lets see if your opinion changes when you see the Raiders speed in week three. DMC and Taiwan Jones are going to be nightmare matchup problems for the jets defense. All day long with pass and run.
Now on to raiders having no 2, third and fourth round pick. What do you think raiders are getting in compensation for losing N Asomugha(richest contract this year in FA) Zach Miller(got A gates type money) and R Gallery) Your looking at Third and fourth rounder.
Now Raiders are getting Potential future QB- a year in their system before next year draft and Two guys that are going to be key players this year for that second. Future Rt Joe barksdale and a Rb (Taiwan Jones) that going to be a lethal weapon- people were makingh chris johnson references with this kid.)

HARDIN-L ArchivesArchiver > HARDIN > 2003-04 > 1050875131
From: "D. E. Miller" <>
Subject: [HARDIN-L] Wm Hardin, 1761, and Jemima, Mourning Roberts
Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2003 17:45:31 -0400
William Hardin had 200 acres by Land Warrant of State of Virginia in
Grayson county, Va. on the Little Fox Creek, off the New River, Va., His
estate was inventoried on 3-5-1803.
William was a Revolutionary War Soldier. Served in Cox's Command Volunteer
Militia 1782. Virginia Freeholder of 200 acres land on dividing Ridge
between Elk Creek and Little Fox Creek. "Hardin's Ridge" Independence,
Virginia Grayson Co., Aided Whigs against Tory invasion.
and then for Cornelius Roberts from;
Rodney D. Veitschegger as posted on Rootsweb,
" In the same year, 1782, Cornelius Roberts is shown as a Montgomery (Later
Grayson) County taxpayer with one poll and no slaves. Elk Creek is partly
in what is now Grayson County."
"We don't know who the father of Cornelius was, but there was a James
Roberts in the same tax list. I suspect that this was the father of Neel,
for I think that Neel's first son was named James, and it was usual to name
the first son after one grandfather. But this is conjecture. We don't know
his year of birth either, but since he was married in 1767 and since his
first child was born about 1768 we think he was born about 1749. We think
that CorneliuS may have had brothers named William, Abner and
Isaac--perhaps more.
What is interesting to me is that Cornelius had a daughter named Mourning
born in 1789. I would not be suprised if she was named after Mourning
Roberts b 15 July 1758. This Mourning Roberts married Elizabeth Hardin b
1765 and I believe Elizabeth to be the sister of the above named William
married to Jemima. Could Mourning Roberts be a brother to Cornelius and
they sons of James Roberts?
William Hardin died 1803 in Grayson County, VA. Then Jemima and family are
found in Madison and Rockcastle Counties of KY at the same time as Mourning
Roberts and his wife Elizabeth Hardin.
Any support for William and Elizabeth Hardin being siblings?
Is there any record of the family of Henry Hardin Jr, b 1742, son of Henry
Sr and Judith Lynch? He was the brother of the Colonel Wm Everett Hardin
found in Wilkes County, NC. Henry was born in Pittsylvania County, VA.
which later became part of Grayson County, Va. just over the river and hill
from Wilkes, NC. Reason I ask is I THINK this Henry is a good candidate for
the father of William born 1761 and m. Jemima. Check out the relationships
between William Everett, William Allensworth, and this William.

Earthquake! In Dallas! But Where Was It, Exactly?
I don't mean to suggest there's any dispute about where this morning's Dallas earthquake was centered. Since all the local news outlets are singing off the same U.S. Geological Survey song sheet, there's agreement in their reports that the epicenter was near Bethany's house, roughly at the intersection of Inwood Road and Northwest Highway.
But nearly all of our local media sources had a different description of where exactly that is.
The Star-Telegram reports that the tiny quake occurred "in the Preston Hollow area."
The Dallas Morning News and Fox 4 both say it happened "near the Preston Hollow area of Dallas."
Robert Wilonsky on Unfair Park describes it as taking place in his "near-neck of Northwest Dallas."
CBS 11 employs its Random Capitalization formatting to describe the scene: "An Earthquake rattled parts of the metroplex Friday morning. The quake happened just after Midnight and was centered near the Love Field area."
NBC 5 needs to update its map. It says it all took place "in University Park." And further claims that the Starbucks in Preston Center sits in University Park as well. Close, but not quite right. Â (UPDATE: They've heeded our advice and changed the headline and copy to say "near University Park," but they're still claiming that Starbucks is in UP.)
But the gold medal goes to WFAA, Channel 8. They helpfully informed viewers that the quake occurred near the giant, disembodied heads of Mark Cuban and George W. Bush:

NEW ORLEANS, LA–The U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu will host the fifth annual World Cultural Economic Forum (WCEF) in New Orleans on Thursday, May 2, 2013. The WCEF convenes mayors, Ambassadors, ministers of culture, business representatives, and cultural leaders from around the world to focus on the powerful impact of culture to drive local economies and spur innovation. Participants will also discuss their experiences implementing safety and security measures during major sporting events, festivals and other large venues.
Realizing the importance of arts and culture as an economic development tool, Mayor Landrieu first launched the WCEF in 2008 while serving as Louisiana Lieutenant Governor, The U.S. Conference of Mayors is organizing the event starting this year.
According to Americans for the Arts, the arts industry in America is not only resilient in times of economic uncertainty, but also a key component to our nation's economic recovery. Nationally, in 2010, arts and culture generated $135.2 billion of economic activity and supports 4.13 million full-time jobs. The industry also generates $22.3 billion in revenue to local, state, and federal governments every year.

Banbury is getting ready for a right Royal knees-up after plans were revealed for next month's Jubilee celebrations.
A host of street parties, including one which organisers hope will smash UK records, will honour The Queen's 60 years on the throne.
Banbury Town Council hopes the Sunday, June 3, party in Market Place for 1,000 youngsters will be the biggest of its kind.
The event, for three- to 11-year-olds, will feature rides, food, balloons and face painting from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Hook Norton Brass Band will also play.
Band musical director Jenny Barrie said: "We will be playing all sorts of music to make the party go with a swing. We are really pleased to be asked and be part of it."
On Monday, June 4, a beacon will be lit at Spiceball Park, at 10.15pm as part of a UK event.
Tickets, designed to look like a 1950s ration book, right, are available from Banbury Town Hall in Bridge Street or by calling 01295 250340.

There are times when a trilogy or a multi-book series is needed to tell a story. Other times a single volume will work.
That should be remembered by several authors, including New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray, who has recently written "Missing" (Avon Inspire, $12.99) as well as "The Search" (Avon Inspire, $12.99), which are the first and second books respectively in "The Secrets of Crittenden County" series.
In "Missing," which is the first book and was released in March, Gray introduces readers to a community that is shocked over the murder of Perry Borntrager, an Amish boy who was killed and then dumped in a local dry well.
His death is painful to all members of the devout community who would rather forget it ever happened than help the police solve the crime. By probing into his death, the community is forced to realize that one of their own was not good, that he was doing bad things, that he was hurting members of their community and that he was bringing the very worst of the outside world onto their doorsteps.
"Missing" shares the stories of Lydia and Walker and reveals that they know more about Perry's disappearance than they are admitting. "The Search," which is the second book and published in June, primarily shares the story of Frannie, Perry's last girlfriend, but it also introduces two other characters with both a strong motive and apparent opportunity: Jacob and Micah.
"The Search" is more enjoyable than "Missing," as the storyline continues to develop and true motives begin to form.1 comment on this story
Though the books are well-written, they are heavily dependent upon each other and it's difficult to enjoy them on their own. Together they equal more than 500 pages, and it can be frustrating to feel strung along in a very long murder mystery. Even written in a time when a reader just seems to expect a trilogy (or at least a multi-book series especially when there is a "book one" in the title), this particular murder mystery certainly does not seem to require three separate books.
At least they are being released three months apart. The third book in the series, "Found" (Avon Inspire, $12.99) is scheduled to be released on Sept. 4.
Both "Missing" and "The Search" are very clean. As many of the characters in the book are Amish, the language is clean and, as the murder occurred before the books begin their tale, they are also free of violence.
