DAVIDSON – Long-standing traditions often define a college campus.
Davidson College stands proud of its traditions, some of which originated at the time of the school's beginning in 1837.
Through such rich history and traditions, students maintain a personal connection with not only their peers but also the school.
"A number of Davidson's traditions revolve around acclimating freshman into the culture of the school," said Heidi Gruber, Davidson College senior. "From the minute their parents put the car in park when they arrive on campus, they are literally and figuratively integrated into campus."
All incoming freshmen must prepare themselves to run the annual Cake Race. Pete Whittle, Davidson track coach, started the race in 1934 to recruit new students into the program. It used to be that the race was carried out sporadically, but over time, the race became a yearly event.
Whittle knew that not every student was fit to be a track star, but the incentive he used to get students out there became a success. Winners of the race receive an entire cake to themselves at the finish line. Members of the Davidson community bake the cakes for the winners.
New students automatically become part of not only Davidson College but of the larger community as soon as they sign the Honor Code, the most honored and celebrated tradition. The Honor Code is more than just a written statement. It is an academic pledge that the student will not lie, cheat, steal or commit any unethical action. Students and faculty take the Honor Code very seriously as the document remains relevant in students' lives far beyond college.
"We do not have security cameras on campus. Students will just leave their laptops sitting out in the union," said Cameron Joe, Davidson College senior. "It really creates a community of trust among the students. It makes it easier to build relationships because you know people on campus have all pledged themselves to these higher standards."
Students have been signing the honor code since 1837. Even Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, signed the code. Pledges are hung in the Chambers Building on campus.
"The Honor Code is like a constitution to join the Davidson community where you feel like you are a part of Davidson at that moment," Joe said. "You are privileged with everything that comes with it. That is what makes you feel a part of something larger than just yourself."
Davidson College Archivist Jan Blodgett said students walking up on stage to officially sign the Honor Code book "fosters a sense of shared values, shared activities and shared ideas."
A tradition known for its anticipation and vigor, Eu and Phi Halls of Davidson College presidential election debates remain a popular tradition occurring over Family Weekend. The tradition which has been a part of the college since the 1800s takes place each time a United States president takes office every four years. The College Republicans and Young Democrats debate current issues, shouting across halls.
"Lots of people come to observe. The Eu and Phi societies were the earliest student organizations on the campus. The buildings still date way back to the earliest years of the college," said William Brown, director of College Union and Student Activities.
Students at Davidson College not only shout over politics, but they also let their emotions run wild in times of final exams. The "midnight scream before finals" is a tradition where everyone opens their windows at midnight on reading day, screaming as loud as they can. This is sort of a natural way for students to release stress and anxiety from all the studying. Of course, seniors are more involved with this tradition, considering they have spent the past few years dealing with the ongoing pressure of finals.
Other important traditions include flickerball, a variation of football; the major concert, which has featured the likes of Maroon 5; and spring frolics, in which students celebrate incessantly right before exams take over their lives.
"This is the one time of year where students hang out and party. On Saturday night, there is a Patterson Court Lawn party with bands and food. It becomes a weekend of debauchery," Joe said of the spring frolics. "Faculty knows about the frolics because they hear so many stories."
Traditions play an essential role in the college experience.
"I think traditions are largely reflective of the culture," Gruber said. "The traditions here communicate our sense of inclusivity, support within the community and genuine compassion and respect of individuals."
While many schools have their own set of traditions, the traditions specific to Davidson provide students with a feeling of camaraderie. Traditions bring character and personality to the school.
"A lot of the traditions here at Davidson are good for the community," Joe said. "Everyone comes to Davidson for all sorts of reasons with different backgrounds. We all get to experience these traditions and this is why we are able to build a community."
The traditions have lasted a long time because students and faculty, along with the Davidson townspeople really enjoy them – a true benefit for the college.
"The traditions like the Honor Code are a sign of pride," Blodgett said. "You move on and the school still holds a place emotionally and those traditions help create that."

A. Overview
You could choose to copy the current file down from the server each time you start to modify a file, but we suggest that you maintain a master copy of every file on your own computer, for development work, and then transfer each of the revised and new files "up" to the server. It will be easier to keep your files organized, and to do your local testing, if you place them in folders (or subdirectories) whose names and organization match those you are using on the server.
The instructions given here are for ww2, which uses SFTP. The people2 system has also been configured to use SFTP software for file uploading. Some of the details are different, but you may find the following discussion useful anyway, because the basic approach is the same.
Uploading a file to ww2 or to people2 destroys the previous file of the same name, replacing it immediately. After transferring the files, however, there are several more steps involved before you are all done: testing the new files with various web browsers and removing old and outdated files from the server. These steps are discussed in section C, following the step-by step instructions for uploading from various environments.
We provide instructions for Fetch on Macintosh and FileZilla on Windows: those packages are free to Ohio University students and employees and are known to work. We will test with them before we install any SFTP server software updates on the staging or production servers. We expect that most other SFTP software will also work; you are free to decide to use any other package, but please be aware that we will not be able to provide as prompt, complete, or effective assistance with other packages.
If you fail to connect, your software is likely to report that as a wrong password. Sometimes that will actually be the problem, but you should consider another possibility that can produce the same message: ww2 and people2 use only SFTP. Trying to use standard FTP may result in a failure that looks like a wrong password.
In order to login, you must have changed your Ohio ID password since October 1, 2007. To change your Ohio ID password, use the "Change Your OHIO Password" link in the "Manage your OHIO ID account" section at the top of http://www.ohio.edu/oit/services/myaccount.cfm. If you encounter any difficulty with that process, please contact the OIT Service Desk, at 740-593-1222.
Please report any error messages that you receive from your SFTP software (including the identification of that software and what you believe was the root cause of the error message), using the e-mail link at the foot of this page. That will permit us to accumulate a description of those errors, their explanations, and what actions to take to resolve them.
The static-page Front Door server also provides "virtual host" services for sites that the world sees with a variety of other names. For a list of those currently in place, see
The step-by-step instructions, linked below, are written for people whose pages are seen on the Front Door, with URLs that start http://www.ohio.edu/; for people whose pages are on one of the virtual hosts, there is one conceptual difference (although it may require a short sequence of steps to achieve): when you first login, the SFTP server software will place you inside the Front Door's folder, so you will have to navigate "out" or "up" and then "in" or "down" to get into the folder with your files. If you are using Fetch or FileZilla, then you will easily see what is required, and should have no difficulty recognizing your files' folder. Other software packages may require specification of the path and folder name ahead of time; one or the other of the following two styles is likely to work:
Return to Chapter III Table of Contents
We document here only the uploading steps. If you have any difficulty reversing them for downloading, please contact us, using the e-mail link at the foot of this page. These instructions are specifically written for ww2 users, but should be of assistance to people2 users. The procedures are conceptually quite similar, but the details are different.
In general, HTML files are transferred as "ASCII" or "text" files, while images, whether in GIF, JPEG, PNG, or other formats, and PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, etc., files are all transferred as "binary" or "raw data" files.
So that you can print them out and follow them without having to go back and forth between windows, we have placed the step-by-step instruction for using Fetch with the Macintosh in a separate file. We do suggest that Fetch be your first choice, but there have been times when a specific problem affected Fetch and not FileZilla.
So that you can print them out and follow them without having to go back and forth between windows, we have placed the step-by-step instruction for using FileZilla with Windows or Macintosh in a separate file.
Return to Chapter III Table of Contents
Once you have transferred your files to ww2, you should immediately verify that they have arrived uncorrupted and with no obvious mistakes: open the appropriate URL in your favorite web browser and verify that the display is what you planned. You may need to force your browser to reload the file; you may even have to erase your browser's cache -- "delete all temporary internet files" -- before reloading will display the updated page.
Follow all the critical, new, and modified links to verify that they function as intended. Examine all new or modified images to verify that they display as intended.
Check additional links that you did not already check. As soon as possible, make sure that the appearance of your pages is reasonable under all four major browsers: FireFox, Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer. The HTML "standards" are still evolving, and those browsers are often not identical in their implementation of the newest aspects of HTML. (They also sometimes differ in the implementation of long-established aspects of HTML!) It is good practice to test with as many other browsers as possible, either yourself, or in cooperation with others who have access to other browsers. Be sure to examine your page on Macintosh and on Windows, because several text characters that you can type on each platform will create bizzare results when viewed on the other platform. Likewise, examine your page on both Apple and Android smartphones (for the differences in browser coding and for the small screen size).
Once you are confident that there are no bugs in your files, you should clean up. You should delete any relic files that have been made obsolete by the changes you have made, but see point 6 of part 1 of section D in Chapter I.

During the winter I purchased a Hollywood Sport Rider Recumbent Rack, Model HR1000R. This is a hitch mount rack for transporting up to two recumbent bikes or one recumbent trike with a rack accessory.
The rack arrived in excellent condition and went together effortlessly. I like that it weighs less than 35 pounds for two reasons. First it is easy for me to mount and dismount the rack from my vehicles, and second it is less weight at the extreme rear of our Toyota Camry or what ever car we own next.
I've transported my Tour Easy on four 15 mile cross town trips on the rack and it performed flawlessly. Other than a gentle sway I saw no movement at all. I currently have the rack configured for Class III receivers (2 inch) but I'll also be using it on our Camry with a Class II receiver (1 1/4 inch).
Here's a picture of my Tour Easy on the back of our S-10 Chevy Truck. You can't tell from this picture but the bike only protrudes 4 inches beyond the standard equipment sidedoor mirrors.
The side mount bolt system works very well at keeping the rack securely in place. The wheel trays adjust easily so I can transport anything from a childs bike to my long wheel base recumbents with ease. The provided velcro wheel straps and the top tube hooks secure the bikes to the rack very nicely. I have taken the liberty to add a couple of extra safeguards to the rack to help assure my worrysome old self that absolutely nothing can possibly go wrong.
I use this teflon coated chain as a deterent against both theft and catastrophic rack failure. If all else fails, the bike will not become a road hazard.
I use bungie cords to help keep the hook from working loose....
I also use an extra velcro strap on each wheel (orange).
I have read that on long road trips the hooks do tend to work up away from the top tube so I have devised a "Home Remedy" to nip that in the bud. I would only bother with this step on long trips, not just going accross town. I cut a couple of lengths of garden hose, slit them open, and hose clamped them in place as an additional stop.
I imagine that the bungie cords and the additional velcro strap is just normal safeguarding though the rack has not acted in such a way as to indicate that I really need those extra precautions. The hose clamp is probably way overboard but why take chances?
I expect to get years of service from this rack, and with all of my paranoid extra securing bits and pieces I expect it to be trouble free.

Archbald arson lights up coal pile; mine fire possible
The brush fires that burned an Archbald mine reclamation site Sunday and deep into a large pile of waste coal were "intentionally set," Fire Chief Bob Harvey said.
The fires were particularly dangerous because of the flammable and gigantic coal mines lying beneath.
About 75 firefighters from an armada of local companies battled the blaze behind the Archbald AC Field for more than eight hours, fearing its spread into the mines.
By 11 p.m., the Department of Environmental Protection decided the threat had been doused.
Chief Harvey said a visit to the site Monday didn't reveal any sign of lasting mine fires, but investigators from DEP are still trying to verify the flames did not reach coal seams under the Old Sterry Creek reclamation project, agency spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said.
Investigators did take 150- degree measurements in the area, but Ms. Connolly said those can be attributed to smoldering embers. The agency would likely know whether the fire had made it to the mines today, she added.
On Sunday night, firefighters used an excavator to get at fires 8-10 feet into the coal pile, Chief Harvey said.
"We had to dig it out before it turned it a multimillion-dollar project, because that's what it would have turned into," he said.
The chief ruled out natural causes of the fire and pointed to the fact that it began at multiple points in the field in explaining his determination of arson.

LIVERMORE, California, April 26. FINIS, a world leader in technical swimming products that maximize your fitness potential and technique, announces the immediate availability of the Agility Paddles, strapless hand paddles that help a swimmer maintain proper fundamental hand placement during all four swim strokes. Modeled perfectly to fit a swimmers hand for a natural feel, swimmers will be happy to add these to their swim routine. FINIS Agility Paddles are available now for $19.99MSRP at the FINIS website.
"The agility paddles really help me focus on perfecting my arm catch during the stroke cycle. Due to the strapless nature of the paddles it's necessary to maintain positive pressure to keep the paddle from moving off my hand," says Jason Dunford, 2008 Olympic Finalist and current African Record Holder. "Unlike other less technical paddles, these are molded perfectly to fit the hand. They allow me to maintain a natural feel, meaning I can better practice the mechanics of my stroke."
The Agility Paddles convex design teaches a proper "palm positive" hand position by encouraging the swimmer to have an early catch. The paddle will only remain in place if the swimmer maintains traction with the water, thus creating more propulsion and maximum efficiency. In addition, the built-in thumb hole creates proper hand placement with the thumb and fingers in the ideal natural position.
About FINIS:
Founded in 1993 in Northern California, FINIS was started by John Mix and Olympic Gold Medal Swimmer Pablo Morales. The Monofin and the Swimmer's Snorkel were the first products they developed for the US market; afterwards, they continued to focus on creating training tools for swimmers and coaches worldwide. FINIS products are currently available in over 65 countries and are used by US and International Olympic teams, elite triathletes, and fitness swimmers.
Innovative research and design is FINIS' highest priority. This dedication has resulted in truly unique products such as: the Swimmer's Snorkel, which is recognized as the paramount tool to improve a swimmer's technique, the SwiMP3 that uses bone conduction technology to play music instead of using ear buds, and the Z2 Zoomers fins, which demonstrate an intimate understanding of swimming musculature, hydrodynamics, and engineering.

Kimber Pleads Guilty to Using Mercury as a Chemical Weapon at Albany Medical Center
|U.S. Attorney's Office November 29, 2012
ALBANY—Richard S. Hartunian, United States Attorney for the Northern District of New York, announced today that Martin S. Kimber, 59, of Ruby, New York, pled guilty before Senior U.S. District Judge Lawrence E. Kahn to all three counts of an indictment that charged him with using a toxic chemical, mercury, as a weapon (counts one and two), and tampering with consumer products (count three). Kimber admitted that on four occasions, he spread mercury, a potentially fatal neurotoxin, throughout various areas of the Albany Medical Center in ways which could lead to inhalation or absorption of the mercury, to retaliate for what he thought were unfair hospital bills.
In pleading guilty, Kimber admitted that:
- $ On or about December 10, 2010 and December 23, 2010, Kimber received medical treatment at the Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York. On various dates thereafter, including on January 24, 2011, Kimber wrote to express concern about having to pay for his medical care. On February 22, 2011, the Albany Medical Center Associate Medical Director wrote back and explained why the bills were appropriate and discussed the outcome associated with Kimber having provided inaccurate information about his injury and his decision not to complete the care prescribed by his treating physician.
- On or about March 28, 2011, April11, 2011, June 23, 2011, and March 2, 2012, patients, visitors, and hospital personnel discovered liquid mercury deposited in sundry locations throughout the Albany Medical Center. On March 28, 2011, mercury was found in the level D basement, the hallway outside the Post-Operative Care Unit, the Triage window in the emergency room, and in the tracks to the door of the center elevator for Building D. Hospital; emergency response units identified and collected several pounds of mercury. On April 11, 2011, mercury was found in the men's bathroom on the AI level and in the main hallway in Building E, extending from the M doors to the elevator lobby. Approximately one to two pounds of mercury was collected by emergency response personnel. On June 23, 2011, mercury was found on the pedestrian ramp leading from the main lobby up to the pedestrian parking garage bridge and in the E-1 corridor exiting the Choice Cafe and the center elevator of Building A elevator triplex. Approximately two pounds of mercury was collected. On March 2, 2012, mercury was found in the cafeteria at Albany Medical Center, in the salad bar, in an apple bowl, in a banana basket, in a toaster, on a table by the coffee station, in the cooler for the packaged salad dressing, in the ice cream freezer, and in a container of chicken tenders that were being warmed under heating lamps and were available for purchase and consumption by cafeteria customers.
- Kimber was responsible for each of these mercury disposals and for tampering with the described products, including the mercury, each item of food, and the restaurant equipment, to include the fruit, bowl, toaster, table, cooler, freezer, and heating lamps. The food products and food containers into and near which the defendant deposited mercury affected interstate commerce.
- Kimber's purpose in disposing of the mercury throughout the Albany Medical Center and cafeteria on multiple occasions was to retaliate for hospital bills that he felt were unfair by causing panic at the hospital/cafeteria and an attendant loss of business when people became fearful of gaining treatment and eating there.
- On March 29, 2012, Kimber possessed two canisters of mercury, one stored in his car and the other stored in his house. A search by law enforcement officers resulted in the seizure of both canisters. Kimber engaged in computer searches at sites where more mercury could be purchased.
Mercury is a well-documented hazardous substance. Among other things, mercury is a neurotoxin that can kill human nerve cells. Mercury is readily absorbed through unbroken skin. Inhalation and other forms of absorption can lead to death, brain, and lung damage; impairment of speech; constriction of the visual field; hearing loss and somatosensory change; and other serious bodily injuries. Having been a licensed pharmacist for 36 years, Kimber well understood these dangers and that the heating of mercury, including the placing of mercury on or in toasters, and on or around heated food, greatly increased the likelihood that mercury would vaporize into the air and be inhaled by individuals consuming such food or using or near such heating devices.
As part of his plea agreement, Kimber agreed to abandon his computer and consented to the entry of an order directing him to:
- Pay restitution to the Albany Medical Center in the amount of $200,451.48;
- Pay restitution in full to the United States for any expenses incurred incident to the seizure, storage, handling, transportation, and destruction of any property seized in connection with an investigation of his use of mercury as a chemical weapon;
- Pay restitution to any other victims;
- Forfeit the residence at 8 Lena Lane, Ruby, New York; and
- Forfeit his 2007 Pontiac Solstice.
Kimber was arrested on April 25, 2012, by special agents of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. On March 2, 2012, following a hearing, Kimber was detained as a danger to the community. He remains in jail pending imposition of sentence.
Each count charging the use of mercury as a chemical weapon carries a maximum possible term of life imprisonment and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross loss to any victim. The consumer product tampering charge carries a maximum possible penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, or twice the gross loss to any victim.
Sentencing in this matter has been set for March 7, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in Albany.
United States Attorney Hartunian said, "Congratulations and thank you to the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Food and Drug Administration-Office of Criminal Investigations, whose cooperative investigation quickly brought the defendant to justice for this very dangerous conduct; to the patients, visitors, and hospital personnel who discovered the mercury; and to the emergency response units who collected it. Their alertness and professionalism prevented the dire consequences that could have resulted from the defendant's use of several pounds of mercury as a chemical weapon and contaminating food and food service items at a hospital."
"There are honest accidents and there are clear cases of criminal conduct," said William V. Lometti, Special Agent in Charge of EPA's Criminal Investigation Division in New York. "The defendant's action threatened public health and safety and sent an innocent victim to the hospital. Today's plea demonstrates that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. EPA is encouraged by the level of partnership shown by the local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies involved in this joint investigation."
The defendant demonstrated a disregard for the potentially life-threatening consequence of his actions and for the potential harm that he could have inflicted," said Special Agent in Charge Mark Dragonetti of the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations, New York Field Office. "We will continue to work with our law enforcement counterparts to aggressively pursue those who place the public health at risk and harm others by tampering with food, drugs, or other FDA-regulated products."
This case was investigated by special agents of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Food & Drug Administration-Office of Criminal Investigations. Assistance has been provided by the Towns of Albany and Ulster Police Departments. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Craig Benedict, to whom questions may be directed at 315-448-0672 or cell phone 315-391-1110.

To be legal, a stop must be based on reasonable suspicion to believe the individual has committed, or is about to commit, some violation of the law. If the stop yields information to confirm the suspicion, the stop may escalate into an arrest.
Arrest - Taking a suspect into custody for the purpose of prosecution on a criminal charge. To be legal, an arrest must be based on probable cause—a belief that it is more likely than not that the suspect has committed an offense.
Booking -The process of officially recording an arrest. It typically includes (1) photographing the defendant (i.e., taking a "mug shot"), (2) fingerprinting the defendant, and (3) obtaining pedigree information (name, address, date of birth, etc.) from the defendant.
Arraignment - The initial appearance of the defendant in court to answer the charges in an accusatory instrument. At the arraignment, the judge (1) provides the defendant with a copy of the accusatory instrument, (2) advises the defendant of the right to counsel and arranges for counsel to be provided without cost if the defendant is indigent, and (3) considers the matter of bail.
Preliminary Hearing (Felony Hearing) -Generally speaking, a defendant who is arrested on a felony charge and held in jail has the right to an impartial testing of the evidence within a certain, relatively short time frame after arrest. Experts may need to testify at this stage.
Grand Jury - A jury whose job is to determine if there is adequate evidence to charge a defendant with a crime. Not all States use the grand jury system. Experts may need to testify at this stage.
Discovery - A pre-trial stage where the parties exchange information about the evidence and arguments they will offer at trial. In many States, the burden of supplying discovery information rests almost entirely upon the prosecution. This is because the presumption of innocence and the privilege against self-incrimination generally permit a defendant to remain silent throughout the prosecution.
Pre-Trial Motions & Hearings - A motion is a request by which a party (prosecution or defense) asks a judge to issue an order. For example, in criminal cases, pre-trial motions by defendants commonly include motions for dismissal of the indictment and for suppression of evidence. Experts may need to testify at this stage
Trial - A trial determines the question of the defendant's guilt. The verdict of the jury is either "guilty" or "not guilty" on each charge given to the jury for determination. Experts involved in a case will testify at this stage
Post-Conviction and Post-Judgment Motions Post-conviction and post-judgment motions are used to attack guilty findings. As part of these motions the defendant may seek an evidentiary hearing to bring to lightfacts not litigated during the trial.
Sentencing - The imposition of punishment by the judge following a conviction. The range of possible sentences depends on the level of the offense committed.
Appeal - A review by a higher court of the correctness of legal proceedings in a lower court. If the conviction is overturned on appeal, the case starts all over again – and witnesses may be called to testify at a new trial as if the previous trial never occurred.

You have to feel bad for anyone with an illness regradless of occupation or how they got it. With that said there is truth that NFL players know the risks and yet still play. Is it a fair analogy that coal miners can get lung cnacer from coal dust? Or cigarette smokers get cancer from cigarette smoking? Yet they still do it?
The league trys to implement saftey for the players, but then you'll here a commentator or Defensive player whine because they can't be more physical. It can't be both ways.
You want to fix the problem have a cut off of anyone over 5'10", 150lbs and runs faster than a 5.0 forty can't play. It would be a much safer sport. I'm just kidding. But these athletes today are "beasts".
So in the end they choose the reward over the risk.But I still have sympathy.

Misty Mountain Hop - The drive to Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta
Located in the heart of the dense forest of Bandipur, Karnataka, Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta is covered with fog almost throughout the year and that is the root of its name Himavad, meaning misty. A temple to Lord Krishna crowns this picturesque hill, the highest point in the surrounding region at 1,450 m (4,757 feet). The best time to visit it is during or just after the monsoon. The hill can be easily reached by car. The road to the top is quite basic, so caution is advised while driving. If you are lucky, you may spot deer, wild boar or even a herd of wild elephants on your way. The last, by the way, is not a preferred encounter. There is strict control by the forest department on the number of vehicles allowed to enter the area, which is a plastic-free zone.
This temple was built by the Hoysala King Ballala during AD 1315. It was later maintained by the Wodeyar dynasty of Mysore, who were ardent devotees of Lord Krishna. Among the many legends associated with this place is an interesting one about one of the lakes, 'Papanasini' (meaning the one that washes away sins). The temple priest told us that, in the hill ranges of Gopalaswamy betta, no crows are found. The crows that existed took a dip in the Papanasini and, on attaining moksha, turned into Hamsa (swan) birds and reached heaven.
Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta is about 220 km from Bangalore and 75 km from Mysore on the state highway to Ooty.

Staff Report
Published Dec. 18, 2012
Labor costs in the South continue to be the lowest in the nation, according to the most recent data reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In reporting the June 2012 data, the BLS said the total employer cost for employee compensation in the South averaged $26.14 an hour, compared with an average hourly cost of $26.80 nationwide.
The figures for the South break down into $18.71 per hour for wages and salaries, and $7.42 for benefits such as health insurance.
In the three other regions measured by the BLS, the hourly average was $28.06 in the Midwest, $30.01 in the West and $32.98 in the Northeast.
Employer costs for employee compensation are based on the National Compensation Survey, which measures employer costs for wages, salaries and employee benefits.
South Carolina is in the South Atlantic division of the South region in the BLS report. While the report did not break the averages down by state, it did say the average cost of employee compensation in the South Atlantic division was $26.37, only 23 cents higher than the South as a whole.

Still hangin' on to their day
Rockin' and rolling with five
Ontario docs -- and their accountant
By Elizabeth Wasserman
They were half-kidding when they
entered the contest, with a grand total of three songs
in their repertoire, so it came as a big surprise when
they won first prize. Flush with their success, they
decided to keep it up. They got themselves an accountant
(Gary Landry, on rhythm guitar), switched a couple letters
in their name to the more G-rated Star Tools, and have
been rocking the Ontario benefit scene ever since.
Not surprisingly, with more than
25 years of gigging under their studded belts, the lineup
of the Star Tools reads a little like the Rolling Stones
-- only three of the six of them have been there since
the beginning. Luckily, the Ottawa medical community
has proved a fertile source of new talent. Today, the
band consists of four family physicians, Drs Barry Bruce,
Raymond Dawes, John Shier and Bill Hogg, a surgeon,
Dr Doug Mirsky, and Gary Landry, the rock-steady accountant.
Apart from a few grey hairs, their
rough and ready look hasn't changed much in three decades,
nor has their musical taste: edgy rock of the 50s, 60s
and 70s. But they've expanded their set list to about
90 songs, the crowds at their shows have grown to the
hundreds, and their grosses have shot through the roof.
They pulled in $165,000 with three gigs last month alone
-- all for charity, of course. What's the secret to
the Tools' longevity? "We aren't trying to make a living
with it," offers founding member and lead vocalist Dr
The Tools live by just one rule: they play strictly
for pleasure. To keep the band from becoming a chore
they keep their gig dates down to a moderate 12 to 14
per year and almost never rehearse. And once they've
swapped their white coats for their leather stage gear,
they refrain from talking shop. "We're all pretty intense
people, with our hands in a lot of things," says Dr
Dawes, a rural family doctor in Barry's Bay, Ontario,
and chair of the Ontario Physicians' Human Resource
Committee, a negotiator for the Ontario Medical Association.
"The band gives us all a chance to let our hair down,"
adds the Tools' bassist since 1989.
On occasion, however, duty has
interfered with a show. In 1980, Dr Barry Pritchett,
the Tools' keyboardist at the time, was paged off stage
to deliver a baby. Dr Dawes has had a similar close
call -- he had to race back to the Barry's Bay Hospital
right after a dance, arriving just in time to tend to
a birth. In his hurry to get to the delivery room, he
didn't manage to remove all traces of his rocker guise,
to the alarm of the parents -- and amusement of his
colleagues. "Temporary tattoos with magic marker don't
come off very easily," he explains.
A few years ago, the group had their first shot at immortality
with the recording of their first album. The 'making
of' story reads like perfect fodder for a CBC docudrama:
in the late 90s, Dr Bruce began a non-profit organization,
dedicated to preserving the 'Diefenbunker,' an underground
shelter built in the 1950s just outside Ottawa by the
Diefenbaker administration to serve as an emergency
retreat for the Canadian government in the event of
nuclear war.
Fortunately, the bunker proved
unnecessary, and in the mid-90s it was decommissioned
by the Canadian Armed Forces and slated to be closed
off with a cement plug. Cue history buff Dr Bruce and
his rescue campaign. He and his cohorts succeeded in
preserving the site; the bunker is now a Canadian Cold
War museum that attracts roughly 22,000 visitors a year.
But the project's success required
funds. In 1998, the Star Tools came up with an eccentric
plan to raise some money for the museum: they would
record a Cold War-themed album -- and record it down
in the Diefenbunker. They rigged up the original recording
system installed in the bunker for emergency broadcasts
and ran wires for speakers and microphones down a 120
metre shaft and through a 1,500 metre tunnel into the
bunker's Bank of Canada vaults, to capture an eerie
background echo effect.
The band recorded tunes they felt
suggested Cold War themes, such as "Eve of Destruction,"
"Secret Agent Man," and (admittedly, a bit of a stretch)
"Great Balls of Fire." Dr Bruce got hold of some newly
declassified White House tapes made during the Cuban
missile crisis, and wove excerpts into some of the songs.
The result was their CD Blastorama, which quickly
sold out on its first run at the Diefenbunker museum
The Tools may still be rocking like it was 1969, but
the years have taken a toll on some of their long time
fans. "Some of our groupies are getting rather aged,"
says Dr Dawes, who still manages the two hour drive
between every Ottawa show and his home in Barry's Bay,
often returning at 3am. "They've developed back problems
that limit their ability to dance."
Dr Dawes admits that some of the
band's doctor jokes are also starting to get a little
long in the tooth. Audience members have even been caught
rolling their eyes when band members refer to surgeon
Dr Mirsky as "a real cut up" or introduce their rendition
of "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" as a cover of a "Urethra Franklin"
But the best doc joke so far was
on them. In the early 80s, American tabloid the National
Enquirer ran a photo of a greased-up Dr Bruce wailing
into his microphone with the caption, "Would you let
this man take out your appendix?" Dr Bruce was a little
thrown, but the incident hasn't exactly ruined his career.
"The story was actually pretty flattering," he says.
The media coverage continued with a couple of articles
in the Ottawa Citizen and a piece in MacLean's magazine.
Rolling Stone has yet to call for an interview, but
at 26 years and counting, the Star Tools are in no hurry.

As you know by now, most of the MTV News crew was out in LA all last week for an obscure awards show. So when word spread like email wildfire that the new Deerhunter album had leaked online, many of News' indie collective were frustrated beyond belief that they had to actually "produce live TV" rather than rush to their laptops and download that luminous sonic jewel. (Seriously, Bradford Cox inspires a kind of embarrassing level of musical worship on the 29th floor. And Brooklyn.)
So in the competition to be the first among us to listen to Microcastle (it's not even supposed to be out for months!!), the winner was…Jim Cantiello. His thoughts?
Jim: It rules. Such a neat direction for the band to go in. [Ed: FYI, Jim has patented a neo-hipster use of the word "neat."] Where the "Intro" on Cryptograms is a build-up of mood, the Microcastle intro explodes with melody, a clever signal of what's to come. The influence of 50's pop is much more on the forefront of this record (what with the "Earth Angel"-esque strumming on the album's closer), but they've still kept their signature Deerhunterisms in place. (The vocal loops, doom-and-gloom lyrics, and cathartic releases are all in there — you just have to listen closely for them.) I'm bummed that "Calvary Scars" isn't the six-plus-minute, boppable version they played at CMJ, but the truncated version works really well as part of the mid-LP suite. All in all, I think it's an awesomely focused and mature offering — the perfect album for them to put out at this point in their career. Go, Deerhunter!
Have you heard the album yet?

Jailed Amish Claim Cruel And Unusual Punishment
April 6, 2013
CINCINNATI (AP) — Attorneys for a group of Amish men and women found guilty of hate crimes for cutting the hair and beards of fellow members of their faith are arguing that the group's conviction,......
What is cruel and unusual is that we have to look at these nut cases and waste time and money listening to there pathetic whining. If you are going to go around assaulting people you can not expect the conveniences of law abiding citizens. Do the crime, do the time.

Yep, I believe they were treated differently.Look at Nidal Hassan who shot up his fellow soldiers on base. He is OBVIOUSLY a terrorist. He was caught redhanded comitting TERRORISM,yet the government is trying him as your everyday workplace shooter. That dude should have been pushing daisies a year ago. But there has been no trial yet. Why? These Amish people are ***** cats compared to Nidal Hasan. I think the government should stay away from religious crimes or they should go full bore dealing with them.At least BE CONSISTENT.

These appeals are typical legal mumbo jumbo, searhing for some flaky Federal judge who may be sympathetic. The live in the US, they must obey the same laws as the rest of us. It is not unusual for prisoners in the Federal system to be sent to separate facilities. The idea that they get to cluster up with Old Man Mullett in prison so he can continue his rule of them is preposterous. One thing this case does have though, unlike many other terrorist cases, is that people are not really very concerned with the victims or even the people he would have been terrorized if not prosecuted. These men need to do their time. One nice thing about religious views is that it really does not require a cult leader to worship, the Amish can serve God where they are, no need to worship the Mullett Man, he is just another prisoner.

Had this man been charged and convicted of rape, then I think everyone would agree that the punishment should fit the crime. In this case, I think the punishment exceeds the crime. Just my opinion. But hey, I posted a comment on here a few weeks ago and someone who disagreed with me actually asked his "God" to*****me. "God****you Spanky' were the words used. Is that a religious hate crime? Hmmm?

It is not cruel and unusual punishment, but would seem so to many of these Amish. Sam Mullet raised his family in a twisted way, to depend upon him for their every need. That's how he gained power over this small group of Amish. I know hundreds of Amish from different areas that have no use for Sam Mullet and his group of thugs. They should be all kept locked up for the maximum legal time. Glad they were put away before actually murdering someone.

we were all standing around rubbing our heads at that point.it took them all of about ten seconds with the clippers and it was gone.if mullet was raping the others wives then i'm sure that one of those husbands would have put one on him.

Survivor: Gabon — Kenny Explains His Strategies
December 18, 2008 03:12 PM by Ryan Haidet
Kenny Hoang called himself the mastermind of Survivor: Gabon after he convinced others to knock out major players several times throughout the game. Kenny, a fast-talking 22-year-old, spilled secrets about his strategies immediately after the Survivor finale on Sunday. He talked all about his alliances, a deal he made with Bob and the fact that he didn't go to the bathroom for more than half his game.
Coming in fifth place, Kenny's fate was sealed after a deal he had made with Bob fell through. Kenny said Bob had agreed to hand over the immunity necklace if he won it at the next challenge. This would make up for the lie Bob told to Kenny about the fake idol he fashioned in an effort to save Corinne. "When I talked to Bob that night, my plan was for him to give me the immunity necklace since he was on an immunity run and such a huge threat," Kenny said. "I didn't even ask for it — he was the one who came up and he's like, 'OK, I'll give you immunity if you don't win the next time.'"
As luck would have it, Bob won the next immunity challenge and when the time came to give it to Kenny, he backed out. "When we went on the reward that night I was like, 'Are you really being genuine or are you lying to me?' I kind of thought, like no way he's going to give it up. He's probably going to lie to me. So when we went on the reward, he kind of made up extra things to attach to it — extra baggage — to the deal. The deal was, if he won it, he'd give it to me."
Kenny claims that Bob added on a new part to the deal agreeing to only give away his idol if he felt Kenny was threatened. "We went to Tribal that night, I was like, 'OK, I want you to give it to me tonight.' And he was like, 'Uh, if I think you're in danger I'll give it to you.' So I just wanted him to admit that he was lying to me and he was playing the game or something like that."
He felt Bob, who ended up winning the game and the $1 million, should have admitted he was lying instead of acting as if he was only about keeping his integrity. "It's Survivor — you have to lie in this game. Noone is a good guy. How can you determine who is good and who is evil? Everyone has lied in the game, everyone has done bad things."
Although he may not have claimed the ultimate prize in Survivor, Kenny has made it big in the world of video gaming as the current international champion of Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers Melee. He said video gaming is much like Survivor. "In the gaming world, I'm known for being able to trick people, you know, out mind-game them. And I applied that to Survivor. I tried to make sure that I manipulated certain people to have them vote my way."
When the competition first began, Kenny aligned with Michelle. "From the beginning of the game, I wanted to align myself with Michelle. I thought she was loyal; I wanted to keep her. But everybody wanted to vote her off because she wasn't fighting out there. I wanted to get rid of Gillian because I thought Michelle was hella-strong. She would've probably helped us win challenges." His hopes of keeping her in the game didn't last long because Michelle was the first player voted off. "By then my whole alliance with Michelle was gone and I had to get an alliance with GC and Crystal afterward."
That alliance he formed with Crystal stuck throughout the entire time the two of them were in the competition. "We had been on the same tribe since day one and we built a great relationship," Kenny explained. "In the beginning, of course, I would never have expected myself to get along with Crystal — she's huge compared to me. But we had a lot of things in common — she's an Olympic champion and I'm a video game champion and we were on top of our game some time and we know how it feels to suffer and lose. We had a lot of things growing up in common and we got along really well. I knew she was going to be loyal to me and I knew I was going to be loyal to her no matter what. We just spent so many days together, we suffered so much to the point that we had to trust each other. We needed each other to stay in the game. Without her, I would have been gone; without me, she would've been gone. It was a mutual relationship."
Kenny had plans of taking three others to the final four — at least until one of his partners bailed out on the game. "The turning point in the game was when GC quit on me because I picked Kelly out of a four-tight alliance — I wanted to take GC, Crystal and Kelly to the final four. And then GC quit and that ruined a lot of my plans, so I had to adapt."
And adapt he did. He helped vote Ace out of the game before blindsiding Marcus. "Marcus didn't play his cards right and he targeted me instead of Susie or Crystal. And when Marcus was off, the whole Kota alliance just went downhill."
When asked what sticks in his mind most about the game, Kenny laughed and brought up the discussion of how many times he went to the bathroom. "I didn't do number two for 22 days out there. We had no food at Fang. We had one spoonful of rice a day and I didn't have the need to go. 22 days, until the fake merge feast and that's when I ate a lot and I had to go. I felt better after I went."
He also said the game showed him new experiences that he hopes to continue. "I'm actually getting more air now. I go out more, I don't stay at home as much as I used to. Maybe I'll go camping again. It was fun. I'm not stuck in the room most of the time anymore."
For anybody who thinks they can take on Survivor, Kenny has this advice. "Don't get overconfident. In Survivor, the game takes turns and twists. Always try to stay somewhat under the radar while calling the shots and try your best. Never give up."

Infantry course humbles both sexes
Male, female Marines slog through combat endurance test at Quantico
QUANTICO, Va. On opening day of the infantry officer course, two Marine lieutenants stand facing each other. One man. One woman. Gnarled ropes, the rough fibers slicked with rain, sweat and blood, dangle at their muddy boots.
The ropes on the obstacle course are suspended from timbers more than 20 feet high. The lieutenants peer up at them, into the cloudy sky and the distance they must climb with aching muscles and day packs dragging them back to earth.
2nd Lt. Anthony Pace, a 2008 Carlsbad High School graduate, stands a long while at the edge of the landing pad of tire scraps. After the initial survey he keeps his head down, sucking deep breaths, hands twittering nervously at his sides. Then he starts to climb.
Pace's performance Tuesday determined whether he could continue the 86-day program. Ultimately, it set the course for his job in the Marine Corps.
The stakes were different for two women among the 79 officers attempting the initial combat endurance test. The Corps, under orders like the other armed forces to open all jobs to women by 2016 or justify an exception, is researching the implications of integrating all-male ground combat units.
For now, even if a female Marine passes the infantry course, she still can't become an infantry officer.
Many Marines, active and retired, oppose the idea of women infantry.
"People are emotional about it," said Col. Todd Desgrosseilliers, commanding officer of The Basic School at Quantico, which oversees the normally all-male infantry course.
It is hard not to be, he admits, when the primary function of the infantry is what Thomas Hobbes called our primal fear: "violent death from another human being. That's what we deal with in the infantry … closing with and killing the enemy."
Should women take that job? Society must sort that out, Desgrosseilliers said. But as far as the physical standard is concerned, "Let's just see how they do and talk about it. Let's figure out what the facts are and have a fact-based discussion."
The Corps, the most male of the U.S. armed forces and the one most dominated by its infantry, was the first to allow women into infantry training.
Maj. Scott Cuomo, director of the infantry officer course, credits the commandant for "jumping on the grenade" to research the prospect head-on.
Questions the Corps is considering include whether women have the upper-body strength and endurance to hack it in the infantry, how disruptive their integration might be, how many women even want to join, and whether any of that justifies maintaining gender-based job restrictions.
The Corps is trying to get 92 women to complete the infantry course. More than 180 women have been offered the challenge. Only six have accepted.
Most men in Marine basic officer training don't want to become infantry either. About a quarter of those who do end up failing or dropping out of the grueling 13-week regimen testing their physical, mental and moral acumen. More than 10 percent wash out the first day.
Female officers have little incentive to try the infantry course. The women, who remain anonymous under Pentagon research policy, volunteer despite the risk of injury and the delay in starting specialized training in their own job fields.
The potential payoff is only personal satisfaction, a pat on the back for furthering the research, and a spot in history as the first woman to pass what many consider the toughest school in the Marine Corps.
Last fall, one of the first two women officers trying the infantry course hung in for more than a week before stress fractures forced her out.

At times it seems what we West Virginians and East Ohioans think of as traditional values have been abandoned by many of our fellow Americans. But those values - including hard work, patriotism, firm dedication to individual liberties and a "do unto others" morality - still motivate most people in our area.
Today, we at The Intelligencer celebrate our 160th birthday. It was on Aug. 24, 1852 that our first edition was published. In it, the newspaper's policy was set out: "All that the people require in order to arrive at proper conclusions is light and information."
For 160 years, while enormous changes have occurred in our valley and the world around us, we have remained firm in that standard of service. It has been our mission to provide the information our readers need and to use our editorial pages to shine light where it is needed.
Our readers have many ways of obtaining information that did not exist when The Intelligencer was young. Our newspaper today is complemented by an electronic version, for example.
But the news report produced daily by The Intelligencer remains unparalleled as a source of information about matters of importance and interest to our readers. More resources go into it than those devoted by all our competitors combined.
Our editorial pages remain sources of strong leadership, shining light on concerns and focusing on solutions that serve the people of our area and reflect their allegiance to traditional values. We serve our readers, not individual politicians or political parties.
We do that because this is not just a "market" to us, as some in the communications industry view the Ohio Valley.
We, too, live, work and raise children in the Ohio Valley. This is our home, too - worth serving and, when necessary, defending.
Not everyone shares our dedication to this region and to the traditional values. In fact, much of what we here in the Ohio Valley view as good is under attack from outside. Our morals are viewed as outmoded. Our work ethic is seen as foolish. Our patriotism is condemned as narrow-minded. And our concern about individual liberties is criticized as unrealistic and, in some ways, selfish.
Yet it was those values that made America great, that led to creation of the state of West Virginia, that brought prosperity to the Ohio Valley - and that made local communities wonderful places to live and raise families.
We are proud, then, to have provided information and shed light for 160 years, in defense of traditional values. Today, we hope you will join us in wishing ourselves "Happy Birthday" and many more years of service.

Gimme shelter
A conservative receives punishment for acting compassionately
One lesson from the Linda Chavez affair: Maybe the only good compassionate conservative is a dead one. That's because living ones make difficult decisions in relation to live human beings, and judgment calls can be second-guessed years later.
More than meets the eye may have been involved in Ms. Chavez's decision on Jan. 9 to ask that her nomination as secretary of labor be withdrawn. Critics may have found other things to criticize than her sheltering of a battered woman who turned out to be an illegal immigrant. But that was the specific charge that sunk her, and a horrible one it was.
Imagine: Ms. Chavez had treated Marta Mercado as a member of the family, having her help with the dishes and vacuuming! Even worse, she gave her some spending money! To complete the horror, Ms. Chavez drove Ms. Mercado to English classes and to job interviews! That all added up to "indentured servitude," Jesse Jackson thundered. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) had more to say about this sin: "It doesn't sound good to me-somebody who lived with you did some chores around your house?"
The network news soldiers rolled out their cannons. CBS Evening News on Jan. 7 opened ominously, "In a scene reminiscent of Bill Clinton's first choice for attorney general, echoes of Nanny-gate rumbled through the Bush transition today over another nominee." That word reminiscent is media euphemism for playing horseshoes, where close throws and leaners get you points.
But reporters should be accurate, not approximate. Clinton nominee No. 1, Zoe Baird, hired illegal aliens as a nanny and a driver, and failed to pay Social Security taxes for them. Nominee No. 2, Kimba Wood, paid taxes and did not break the law as it then existed when she hired an illegal alien, but she had to drop out because a gun-shy Bill Clinton did not think the public would understand the distinction in the two cases.
Distinctions are important. Employers now are required to determine immigration status before hiring individuals. No law, however, states that we have to check papers before compassionately allowing a homeless person to stay with us. Would liberals be happy if Ms. Chavez had told Ms. Mercado, "Go sleep in an abandoned car"? What if she had added, "When you're hungry, eat cake"?
This is not an automatic call, by the way. Biblically, we are to welcome the alien within our gates who is seeking refuge from an ungodly society and is willing to embrace a biblical way of living. But the United States has laws restricting immigration, and we are bound to obey those laws when they do not force us to violate God's law.
Churches and individuals are increasingly likely to be confronted with immigration issues not in theory but in the flesh. Should Ms. Chavez have turned in her guest to the authorities or turned Ms. Mercado out of her home? We need to think this through biblically, noting the Scriptural injunctions to welcome strangers, and also those that emphasize the importance of leaving one way of life and embracing another.
If some current laws receive strict application, compassionate conservatives who believe in being warmhearted but tough-minded might have to rethink their belief that people capable of working in some way should do so. Does doing chores make a person an employee? My children do chores, and people we've sheltered at times have also helped out. Does that automatically make them employees? Common sense should rule in such situations, but it did not this time and maybe it won't next time.
If we don't want to send a mean-spirited message-Whatever you do, don't give an immigrant or a homeless person some work to do, or you might be in trouble-we should reexamine immigration laws and labor laws that restrict the exercise of compassion. I believe we should welcome immigrants who work hard, but should restrict their eligibility for welfare. We should also encourage work as some good homeless shelters do, and protect from legal harassment those that have residents doing chores.
With Linda Chavez's withdrawal we have lost from government a thoughtful person who would have examined whether some laws promote labor or merely protect labor unions. President-elect Bush's next nominee should also be an independent thinker. And we should ponder this question: When a woman is bashed for taking in a stranger, are we building an America where people act kindly, or one in which we fear repercussions and slam the door?

Anti-Nancy Ajram protesters released from jail in Bahrain
A Bahraini criminal court released 10 citizens who were being held in prison for holding riots over Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram's concert. Protests were held by individuals who are against having Nancy sing in their country stressing that she should not have been allowed to enter.
Police forces had captivated dozens of citizens between the ages of 16 and 25, who were holding protests right before Nancy's concert in Manama. Protesters also attempted to block all streets that lead to the arena where Nancy was performing trying to stop people from going, but they were faced with tear gas thrown at them by Bahraini police.
According to the Qatar based daily, Al Raya, the riots occurred after a Bahraini parliament official with the support of his colleagues submitted an urgent request to be presented at their next session calling for the banning of Ajram. The request specifically stated that Nancy should be forbidden from entering Bahrain and disqualified from participating in a musical event.
The parliament official, who belongs to an Islamists party, revealed that he had contacted the Ministry of Information, which is responsible for giving permission to companies wishing to hold entertainment activities, specifically stating that Parliament will not allow for the company to hold its scheduled activities unless they disallow Nancy to take part in their events.
Recently, Egyptian female parliament members joined hands with Islamist members and ordered that a new law be formed to ban the airing of Ajram's music videos on all local and satellite Egyptian channels. The members also called for the banning of any music video that displays women dancing with barely any clothes as an attempt to seduce and attract viewers.
The women in parliament feel that these types of music videos are a negative influence on viewers especially the young males. It was also suggested that a restriction be placed on the production of music videos making sure that what is being produced is appropriate for the Arab audience. It was added that numerous complaints from women and men were sent to parliament demanding that immediate action be taken with regards to the extent that some music videos have gone.
Female parliament members also noted that these types of videos that only strive to arouse audience sexually loose the true value of art and music. They added that numerous family disputes have occurred due to these clips, which have caused for jealousy to appear on women due to their husbands' concentration on the women dancing in them.
Previously it was rumored that an official request by the Egyptian Parliament had been released demanding the ban of Ajram's songs. The Parliament has ordered that all satellite and local TV stations stop the airing of Nancy's songs, especially "Akhasmak Aah" (I'll Upset You Yes), due to the nature of its content and the manner in which the music video is shot. –Albawaba.com

Guilt About the Past
Author: Schlink Bernhard
From the author of the international bestselling novel The Reader
Just as Bernhard Schlink's bestselling novels, The Reader and Homecoming, tackle the burden of German guilt about events during the Second World War, so too the six essays that make up this compelling book view the long shadow of past guilt that is not just a German experience, but also a global one. Schlink explores the phenomenon of collective guilt and how it attaches to a whole society, not just to individual perpetrators. He considers:
Based on the Weidenfeld lectures he delivered at Oxford University in 2008, Guilt is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand how events of the past can affect a nation's future. Written in Bernhard Schlink's eloquent but accessible style, it taps in to worldwide interest in the aftermath of war and how to forgive and reconcile the various legacies of the past.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
RHoNJ Season 5 Reunion Part 2 Sneak Peek: Teresa Calls Out Caroline!
If you think Caroline Manzo is going to accept an accusation lying down from Teresa Giudice on this Sunday's Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 5 Reunion Part 2, think again.
In the preview video clip below, Teresa claims that Caroline set the stage for everyone else to criticize her this season. "[Caroline] was attacking me, then I felt like Kathy [Wakile] jumped on the bandwagon, then I felt like Melissa [Gorga] jumped on the bandwagon," Teresa says. "The only person that didn't jump on the bandwagon was Jacqueline [Laurita]. She proved to me today that she does want to move forward."
"Caroline knows me over ten years — she knows I have a heart of gold," Teresa continues in explaining why Caroline's actions this season hurt her.
But Caroline has heard enough. "Timeout — you're saying right now that everything we've gone over the past however many months was just discounted by me pointing out to you that you said a blatant lie to hurt my husband and I?" Caroline asks. "You hurt me by saying I was superficial," Teresa responds.
At that, Caroline goes off. "I didn't attack you!" she exclaims. "I made a simple observation over one moment in time — 30 seconds of time — that you are now harping on till the day I freakin' die."
Yikes! This season is definitely ending with a bang, and we can't wait to watch.

Police still searching for driver who struck rollerbladerHit and run crash still under investigation
Police are still seeking help from the public to find the person who hit a rollerblader near Rehoboth.
Police said Robert C. Flanagan, 55, of Dover was rollerblading west on Rehoboth Avenue Extended, when he was hit by a vehicle about 8:17 p.m., March 17 in front of Big Sissies Bar & Grill.
The driver of the vehicle fled toward Route 1, police said. Flanagan was admitted to Christiana Hospital in critical condition. He was released from the hospital several weeks later, but police have made little progress in finding the person who struck him.
Delaware State Police spokesman Cpl. John Day said, "We do not have definitive information we can release about the vehicle's color. We have received tips, but none have lead to the identification of the driver."
Investigators said Flanagan was wearing a flashing red light and two other lights and was on the shoulder of the road when he was struck. They said they had no information on why Flanagan was in Rehoboth or where he was going when the crash occurred.
Day said police interviewed people at the scene of the crash and have received information through the tip line.
"We are still seeking the public's help and will investigate any new tips," Day said.
Delaware State Police are asking anyone who may have any information about this incident to contact the Collision Reconstruction Unit at Troop 7 at 302-644-5020, Ext. 117. Callers may also provide a tip by texting keyword DSP plus a message to 274637 (CRIMES), or by calling 800-TIP-3333. Information can also be submitted at tipsubmit.com.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State softball head coach Vann Stuedeman completed her signing class Tuesday morning with the announcement of Atlanta prep star Morgan Bell inking her National Letter of Intent. Bell was a four-year letterwinner for Mill Creek High School and was one of the 2013 Gwinnett Daily Post Super Six Softball selections. She is the fourth member of the 2014 signing class, joining Holly Ward, Claire Stucker and Calyn Adams.
"Morgan was a late commit, but we were really, really lucky to get her to be a Bulldog," Stuedeman said. "We love our Georgia Peaches. We are continuing that tradition in Morgan."
Bell, an Atlanta native who plays varsity softball in the fall due to the Georgia High School Athletic Association schedule, helped Mill Creek claim the No. 3 seed for the Class AAAAAA state tournament as a senior, when she hit .415 with 10 home runs, 10 doubles and a .508 on-base percentage. She also claimed the Georgia All-State Game home run derby title.
As a junior in the fall of 2012, Bell hit .374 with five home runs and 45 runs batted in while helping the Hawks to a 23-15-1 record. She added 26 runs scored and a .952 fielding percentage from primarily third base in earning Gwinnett Daily Post First-Team All-County and first-team all-region selections. The program finished in the elite eight at the state tournament.
"When I came here on my visit I fell completely in love," Bell said on why she chose to become a Bulldog. "I love the coaching staff so much and know they care about me and the team. I love the feeling of Starkville. You get the big-school feeling, and the small-town feeling. I'm so blessed to be able to be a part of the softball program for the next four years."
As a sophomore at Mill Creek, Bell batted .326 with a trio of long balls and 26 RBI while earning All-Region 7-AAAAA Honorable Mention squad accolades. The Hawks finished second in the state.
"She is a pure hitter who can just rip the cover off of it," Stuedeman said. "I'm glad she was able to wait for us to snag her. She's going to be a great leader and she's a great kid. I'm really looking forward to seeing her in the maroon and white."
"I love that we have a Georgia Peach in this class," assistant coach Beth Mullins said. "The ball just comes off her bat. The ball is smoked every time she hits it."
Bell, who will make her Bulldog debut in the 2014-15 season, has gained additional softball experience with the Atlanta Vipers. The 2013 Vipers claimed the 16U ASA "A" national championship in Calif. Bell was a member of the 2011 adidas Futures Team Georgia. While playing for the summer club the Georgia Impact, she qualified for the 2011 ASA Nationals and finished in seventh place. The Impact also claimed the ASA 14U Hall of Fame Tournament championship.
