Soon after the completion of the new college building, known at the time as Lynch Hall, Father Joseph Butler resigned as President of St. Bonaventure because of poor health. Six months later, on July 25, 1911 Father Joseph Butler passed away in his sleep. Five years later, St. Bonaventure completed Butler Gymnasium in the late President's honor. "Father Joe," as he was known around campus, always stressed the importance of athletics as well as academics. The new gymnasium was a fitting tribute to one of the school's most beloved leaders. Butler's accomplishments and legacy as president can be seen throughout the campus. Today, a statue of Father "Joe" Butler stands in front of Friedsam Memorial Library. The statue, Butler Gymnasium and De La Roche Hall are all reminders of what a great man and President St. Bonaventure University had in Father Joseph Butler.

|The start is tough with thin protection...on a dicey little crack. Then when you get below the roof, there is a nice section that if you come off, you gonna be FLYIN! For maximum fun, pull the roof straight above this last run-out move (make sure you took your biggest piece with you, to stick under the roof (3.5 or 4 Camalot)...this roof brings the grade up to 5.10c or 5.10d (the Dick Williams Gunks Select book says to exit on the easy roof of Graveyard Shift).

I still need to lead this one but will note that Mr. Malloc is right on about the gear. Typically there is gear under such a roof, but somehow it's shallow and wide. My friend barely got a 3 in and said it wouldn't hold and a 4 may be too big. Standing up and reaching over the roof is committing and a fall would be bad news.
I can't wait to give it a go on the sharp end :D

|The previous comment seems right to me. The piece I had under the roof was terrible; the crack is just too shallow to take anything that would hold. However, it is possible to get a small cam just above the roof.

|#3 Camalot is bomber under the roof.
By Alec Orenstein
From: Gallup, NM

Agree with the above. The number 3 is bomber under the final roof. You'll definitely want to bring it.
Fantastic route. Pulling the roof to the right as Mr Malloc describes (basically directly above the jug at the end of the crux) is a better line. Not sure I'd call it 10c though, especially when compared to the grades of the surrounding routes.
EDIT: Apparently Swain gives the direct finish 11a. I'll take it... Did it again, and it is indeed a tough move.
Also thought the first moves in the crack were tricky, but very well protected.
The runout is scary, but you probably won't die if you fall.
Again, really awesome route. Full value.

|Fun route. Spicy on the runout but the upper corner before it takes gear. #3 fits easily under the top roof.

I'm really new at this, but I'm determined to find out as much about my family history as possible. Last names in my family are: Barbour, Hull, Gillett, Cullmann, Thiry, and Peek. Cullmann and Thiry are on my dads side, the rest are on my mom's side.
The only thing I know is that the Barbours' and a few of the Gilletts' were from Daytona Beach, Florida...and there were some Gilletts' from Pennsylvania. I also know that James F. Hull was a Confederate War hero, and has a plaque in his name in a park in Florida.
I don't know where to turn next though. I'm completely lost.

Winchester Barrel markings needed
I have a pre 64 Winchester 1894 carbine that some idiot polished off all the markings on the barrel and off the tang on the receiver, luckily he had sense enough not to polish off the SN. I need to know where I can get the roll marks put back on. I contacted Turnbull and they only do pre war roll marks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Not being a smart *** here, but I would suggest (you asked...) you just leave it alone. Enough damage has already been done, and trying to add new markings will only serve to degrade the value of the gun that much more.
Having said that, It's your gun and you can do whatever you want with it. Nobody else is going to care - unless they are a prospective buyer....
You're going to have to stamp the numbers/letters individually on there. Naturally it might not match up with the exact style of font that Winchester used unless you have the stamps custom made-a lot more expense than it would be worth.
If you are looking to do a restoration, I would be looking for an original barrel replacement. If not, just use it as a shooter. The collector value at this point is nill.........
Barrel and receiver
Thanks for all who responded. I got the rifle real cheap and it looks so good, that I hate to see it without markings, it is just a dandy deer rifle. I do a lot of trading so although I have not tried to sell or trade it yet, I imagine it would be difficult. Turnbull has said that he would do the markings for $200 but at that price it would be cheaper to have it rebarreled. They have said they could not do the receiver if it was made after 1,500,000 as is mystery metal that they cannot reblue after the markings are applied. I think that they are off about 1,000,000. This rifle was made in 1959. I looked at a couple of pre-64 1894 models for sale on gunbroker, and 2 of those did not have any tang markings either, was this normal on some of the production?

Pop Culture
Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
May 3, 2012
Unsure of what to expect from Rain Pryor's autobiographical, one woman show about being Black and Jewish, my roommate and I were worried we might be on the outside of a big cultural joke throughout the entirety of the performance. But with the The Wiz's "Ease On Down The Road" welcoming us into the space, and with a title as delicious as Fried Chicken and Latkes to entice us even further, we were excited to see where the next 75 minutes would take us. Initially, I was concerned the show would walk the fine line of stereotypes and racial punchlines, but instead Pryor offered us a unique glimpse into her world where she grew up with black power fists raised alongside glasses of Manichewitz.
|Rain Pryor in Fried Chicken and Latkes.
The journey began with Rain Pryor rushing onto the stage, slightly out of breath, brushing her afro from her face and proclaiming that she was almost late because there was a sale at Bloomingdales — immediately putting the audience at ease with her playful exploits of both Jewish and Black cultures. Born into a biracial family ahead of its time, Rain does not try to hold back in introducing the audience to the colorful cast of characters that raised her. The daughter of the late, great comedian Richard Pryor and a Jewish go-go dancer, it is no wonder Pryor can captivate an audience with her electric performance.
Rain's energy is palpable, and the pulse of the show is kept upbeat by interspersing original music and power ballads that add to the cabaret-like atmosphere of the piece. Nothing is off limits to Rain, even her father's public drug-addicted past. In fact the tone turned somber each time she began to speak about her father. Beginning with a reenactment of a childhood fight where her mother told her that he would never visit because he didn't care about her, it was clear that the relationship was a strained one. Still, throughout the show, Rain expressed a fervent love and respect for her father. She told of the first time she saw him on stage, and how she stood in awe of how he had the power to make an entire audience laugh at his persuasion. She spoke of visiting him as he aged, and as his multiple sclerosis became progressively more and more debilitating. And finally, she relived getting the phone call about his passing while she was out of town visiting friends. She spoke with genuine grief about his funeral, and how it angered her that people tried to make light of the situation by cracking jokes, assuming that was what her father would have wanted.
|Click to enlarge.
Throughout the course of the show, we not only meet her parents, but also an adolescent Rain Pryor, a girl who grew up with jazz lullabies played for her by Miles Davis and who spent her high school lunch hour attempting to control her Jew-fro and gossiping in the ladies room. We also meet her grandmother, her great-grandmother, her Black friends who introduce her to the step team and the Jewish boys who wanted to date her — hilarious yet poignant characters who are, of course, all brought to life by Rain herself.
Particularly notable were Rain's performances of her Jewish grandmother and her African-American great-grandmother, who each expressed laughable and familiar stereotypes of the other culture. Curiously, neither seemed to feel as though Rain herself was part of their own culture, always placing her with the other. "Your people," said her Bubbe while kvetching about the Blacks, and "your people," mused her great-grandmother in talking about Jews amidst mouthfuls of collared greens. Admittedly, Rain herself didn't exactly fight the stereotypes of these cultures. She described her great-grandmother as an all-ruling, powerful Black woman that her own grown grandson feared, and she shared the life advice of her Jewish grandmother: "shopping in a sale is a Jewish woman's orgasm." Unlike her grandmother, Rain's mother wasn't the "typical" Jewish mother. Her father's grandmother even described her as the "blackest white woman" she'd ever met. Despite occasionally employing tactics of guilt, Rain's mother was portrayed as a true individual — or a true hippie at least.
While most of her stories rag on the cultural memes of growing up Black and Jewish in the '70s, Pryor does not discount the racism that she had to face as well. High school is hard enough to face without the internal struggle of trying to establish a cultural identity, and Pryor addresses how she had to figure out who she was in the context of a society that was trying to figure out exactly who they were too. In a particularly eloquent vignette at the end of the show, Pryor explains that in retrospect it was not a matter of figuring out how she fit in, but how everything fit in around her.

I expect the first has been there since numeric prehistory, and the second for several years. Those aren't subtle bugs, they are just bugs. Now that development has slowed down, I think it is time to start working on comprehensive tests that verify that numpy works as supposed. This will also help us pin down what the specs for various functions actually are, something that can be a bit nebulous at times.

Brinnington is now a northeastern suburb of Stockport, Greater Manchester situated on a bluff above a bend in the Tame Valley.
In 1875 Brinnington was one of eight civil parishes in Cheshire to be included in the Stockport Rural Sanitary District. The sanitary district became the Stockport Rural District in 1894. The parish became part of the Bredbury and Romiley Urban District in 1900. The district was abolished in 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, and its former area was transferred to Greater Manchester to be combined with that of other districts to form the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport.
Brinnington was a township in Stockport ancient parish in Macclesfield Hundred which became a civil parish in 1866. In 1901 the greater part of its area was added to the County Borough of Stockport. In 1902 the remainder was abolished and incorporated into Bredbury. It included the hamlets of May Croft and Portwood - Portwood was the area transferred to Stockport. The population was 890 in 1801, 5,203 in 1851, and 98 in 1901.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS; Creditors Push Yukos Close to Liquidation
By C. J. CHIVERS
Published: July 26, 2006
The Yukos oil company's fight for existence neared its end on Tuesday when creditors rejected its plans for recovery and recommended that Yukos, once Russia's largest and most successful oil concern, be declared bankrupt.
The vote by creditors all but ensures that Yukos will be liquidated, the final chapter in a story that began nearly three years ago when the founder of Yukos, Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, was arrested by government security agents and jailed.
Mr. Khodorkovsky is in a Siberian labor camp, having been convicted last year of tax evasion and other crimes in what he and his supporters called a show trial orchestrated by the Kremlin to punish him for his political ambitions. President Vladimir V. Putin has denied those accusations.
The fate of his company now lies in a bankruptcy hearing next week, at which the creditors -- largely connected to the Kremlin -- will ask that the company be liquidated and its assets redistributed.
The creditors nominated Eduard Rebgun, the court-appointed manager who recommended that the company be declared bankrupt, to serve as the receiver.
At the meeting Tuesday, the creditors ignored the company's contention that its assets, which Yukos says are valued at nearly $38 billion, exceeded its liabilities by more than $20 billion and were more than enough for Yukos to pay its debts.
Instead, the creditors accepted the assessment of Mr. Rebgun that the company's assets were far less valuable, about $18 billion, and that its debts exceeded their value by more than $500 million.
Yukos lost its primary pumping subsidiary, Yuganskneftegas, in a controversial auction in 2004. That company, a huge asset that pumped as much oil in a day as Indonesia does, has since come under the Kremlin's control and become part of Russia's growing energy portfolio.
But Yukos has retained ownership of several oil prospects, as well as 1,302 retail gas stations, 5 refineries and pumping concerns in Tomsk and Samara. It also owns a 9.2 percent stake in Rosneft, Russia's state oil company, and a 20 percent stake in Gazprom Neft, a subsidiary of the state-controlled energy giant, Gazprom, that it obtained when Gazprom acquired Sibneft. (Gazprom has offered to buy the stake at about half price.)
Though oil prices are near record highs, the creditors voted that Yukos would not be able to continue as a going concern and pay its debts.
In a succession of votes, the creditors rejected the arguments of Yukos, decided to ask the court to declare Yukos bankrupt, and set up a committee of creditors.
Claire Davidson, a Yukos spokeswoman, called the events ''the latest step in the forced and systematic expropriation of Yukos assets by the Russian Federation.''

CLEARWATER — The producer of a series of fetish videos that showed women beating up handcuffed men will have to pay $14,000 to four homeless men featured in the films, a Pinellas judge ruled last month.
Circuit Judge Pamela A.M. Campbell ordered Jeffrey Williams to pay $14,000, plus attorney fees, to each of the four men who sued him.
The men claimed they were offered $25 to $50 each to be whipped, beaten and dominated by scantily clad women as cameras rolled. They said they were not allowed to fight back and had to endure the beatings for 12 minutes in order to get paid.
The videos later appeared on the websites shefights.net and shepunishes.com. Lawyers for the men — identified in court documents as George Grayson, Kyle Shaw, Ronn Boykins and James Cayer — accused Williams of targeting vulnerable homeless men for the beatings.
Williams, who produced the videos under the company name J.P. Florida Productions, has languished in jail for almost a year as he fights criminal charges of aggravated abuse of a disabled adult. Jail records show he is being held on $55,000 bail.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, April 21, 2005; Page E01
Amtrak said yesterday that it expects to have its high-speed Acela Express trains running again by summer but did not offer a specific timetable for restoring full service on the high-speed premium line, which was suspended last week because of a brake problem.
Under a new schedule announced yesterday, Amtrak said it plans to add 13 Metroliner trains between Washington and New York starting Monday to help make up for the Acela's lost capacity. The Acela typically made 15 trips each weekday between the two cities and 11 trips between New York and Boston. The railroad said it is gathering train cars from across the country to bulk up its Northeast corridor fleet.
Amtrak chief executive David L. Gunn said Acela trains will return to service as they are repaired. "The trains will come back gradually," he said. "They will not come back all at once."
Amtrak shut down the Acela line last Thursday night after discovering millimeter-sized cracks in brake components during routine testing.
The cause of the cracks is still unknown. William L. Crosbie, senior vice president of operations at Amtrak, said Amtrak still does not have an explanation for what caused cracks in about 300 out of the 1,440 disk-brake rotors in the 20-train Acela fleet. He said a team of engineers and metallurgists is evaluating the defect.
Both Crosbie and David Slack, a spokesman for the train's manufacturer, Bombardier Inc., said the part will probably require a redesign.
"With 300 disks with cracks in them, there's an issue and I think everybody on the face of the planet is aware of that," Slack said. "At the end of the day, we need to find a permanent fix. Just ordering more of the same part isn't the answer."
Slack said that the now-cracked disk-brake rotors were expected to last about 1 million miles before needing replacement. He figured that the Acela parts had gotten "half a million miles, maybe 600,000" miles of use.
Each Acela train has 72 brakes, but Crosbie said there are only 70 replacement disks available.
Montreal-based Bombardier is working with its suppliers, Knorr and Wabco, to get enough replacement parts to restore Acela service, Slack said, but the company does not know how long that will take.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello there,
Unfortunately energy use specs are not really attainable unless the manufacturer is contacted. Even then, pulling old specs would probably not be on their agenda. I can tell you a few things however to help make your decision.
Comparing wattage and amps between a 15 year old unit and new.
Compressor uses 3/4 to 1 amp to run now, then 2-3 amps.
Compressor now runs more, however is maintaining temps more easily due to extremely accurate sensors. Then, run based on a capillary type thermostat.
Adaptive defrost systems only allow defrost to occur when required, then defrost timers went into defrost every 8-10 hours, needed or not.
A lot of newer units use variable speed DC fan motors, then all 120 volt AC single speed.
Harbor freight sells a product called "Kill-o-watt". You plug it into a wall, then your appliance into it. It'll tell you everything in terms of power consumption. The reality though, is finding the information you desire would require the manufacturers engineers digging through piles of old info. Please remember, Amana was purchased by Maytag in the early 2000s, then Maytag was purchased by Whirlpool in 2006. A lot of stuff like this is just unattainable anymore. I can promise you, anything you buy nowadays will be 2 to 3 times more efficient than a product bought 14 years ago. You can call Amana(NNN) NNN-NNNNto see if they can locate a manual for you. I just tried, and the search brought up 0 results.

This is Part 1. More to follow, if folks like it.
Part 1
Hi, Mike, how are you today? It was my neighbor from down the hall, Jessica. Fine, how are you? Pete home for a change? Jessica's husband Pete traveled quite a bit because of his work. Yep, he's here this weekend, so I don't have to worry about any temptations. She giggled. That was a standing joke between the two of us. Jessie was the type who got along better with men than with other women, and was a bit of a flirt. That had gotten her into trouble a couple of times when Pete had found text messages from guys on her phone. When something like that happened, she'd come to me, and I'd talk her through it.
I'd noticed Jessica right away when they had moved in a couple of years before. She was about 5'6, not all that much shorter than me, with long brunette hair with a few blond streaks. She had a lovely face, perfectly shaped with just a hint of freckles, and a body that I'd kill for breasts that were big, but with no sag, and curves in all other right places. She also had a sparkle in her eye that said she'd be incredible fun in the right situation. Not that I'd ever have a chance to find out about that...not only was she married (and her husband Pete was a lot bigger than me), but I'm also old enough to be her father. We'd been casual friends since they had moved in, but I never thought it would go any farther.
The first time I'd had a long conversation with her had been about six months ago. I'd run into into the hallway then, and she looked like she'd been crying. I said, Hey, girl, are you all right? She surprised me by blurting out, Pete can be such an ass sometimes! What happened? He found some text messages on my phone between me and Jeff, and he got all jealous. God! It's not like I had sex with him or anything; I didn't even kiss him. We just talked, and went to a movie together.
Well, I said, you've got to look at it from Pete's angle. He's got a wife who's really hot, and he's probably worried about what you do when he's gone on those business trips. He really never struck me as being a guy with a lot of self-confidence, either, so I imagine he's insecure about holding on to you. Finding messages from another man can't help.
Jessie gave me a strange look, half puzzled and half excited. Do you really think I'm hot? Of course, you're beautiful and sexy. She blushed, and spoke very softly, I never really thought I was that attractive.
Well, you are, so quit worrying about it. Hey, do you want to come in and have a beer you look like you could stand to relax a little bit. And you shouldn't have to worry about Pete getting jealous of an old man like me. She grinned. That sounds like a great idea! We slipped into my apartment and spent the next hour and a half sitting next to each other on the couch drinking beer and talking. About her insecurities her weight (she was just right, but wouldn't believe it) and her age. She'd be 30 on her next birthday, and was worried about getting old. I laughed about that, since my last birthday made 55 for me. Laughing turned out to be a mistake. So you think I'm just being silly to worry about getting old? I put my hand on her shoulder, and said gently, Of course not. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. But look at me people have been telling me all my life that the next big birthday is the one that's really going to make me feel old, and it hasn't happened yet. You've probably got nothing to worry about.
But you're a man. That's different. Guys all want young chicks, not middle aged women. I answered, There are plenty of men who like women with a little experience. I noticed that my hand was still on her shoulder, and I moved it as unobtrusively as I could, because I also noticed that sitting next to Jessie that long had made my dick start to get hard, and that was not a good thing. I thought I was saved from embarrassment when Jessie looked at her watch and yelped, Uh oh, I gotta go! She stood up to leave, and when I stood up, she gave me a big hug. Shit, I thought, please don't feel what's in my pants! If she did, she didn't say anything. With a sigh of relief I walked into the bathroom and pulled my stiff cock out of my pants. I closed my eyes and pictured Jessie naked and writhing under me as I jerked off until I shot a huge load of cum into the toilet.
Since then the scene had been repeated frequently. About once a week, usually, but not always, when Pete was out of town, Jessica would come to my apartment and we'd drink beer and talk. I'd become a father figure to her The visits always ended with her giving me a hug, and me hoping she didn't notice that she'd given me a huge hard-on. And then I'd head for the bathroom to take out my frustrations.
This time, after she giggled at her joke about temptations, she got very serious, and said, Mike, I've got a really big favor to ask you. Can we go inside? I don't want Pete to hear us talking about this if he comes out.
We headed into my apartment, with me wondering what kind of favor Jessie needed. I was puzzled, and a little worried, since I didn't have any idea what she might want. As soon as we got the door closed, Jessie said, Mike, I'm really embarrassed to ask you this, but do you think you could lend me some money? I laughed. Jessie looked offended, and said in a hurt-little-girl's voice, It's not funny. I really need some help. I stopped laughing. Sorry, girl. It's just that I'm relieved that's all it is. I was seriously afraid you were going to ask me to do something like kill somebody. If it's just money, that's no problem at all. How much do you need? That broke the tension; Jess laughed herself and said, Uh, I could really use a couple of hundred. And I don't know when I'll be able to pay you back. She looked sheepish, not sure if she asking for way too much. I knew she and Pete had been having some financial problems that was one of the things she talked to me about. I reassured her, That's cool, 200 is fine. You pay me back when you can, don't worry about it. Do you want cash? She said, Yeah, that would be best. OK, I'll have to run to the ATM and get the cash out. When do you want to pick it up. She looked conspiritorial. Pete is going to play golf with his buddies this afternoon at 2:00. I could come by then and get it.
I got another hug as she left, and had to make a trip to bathroom before I headed for the ATM.
Jessie was right on time to pick up the money, and was still apologetic about having to ask for the loan. Hey, I'm just glad I can help you out. You're about the closest thing to family that I've got. Which was the truth. Well, I will pay you back, I just don't know when, she insisted. OK, like I said, don't worry about it.
Jessie reached for me to give me goodbye hug, except this time something was different. I don't know if she pressed closer against me than usual, or if she finally decided to admit to feeling what was pressing against her belly, but this time she looked down and said, Hey, what's that?
Oh, shit, this was not going to be good! I tried to be lighthearted about it. You're a married woman, I shouldn't have to explain it to you! Jessie looked into my eyes and smiled. I felt her hand close over the front of my jeans.
What...what are you doing? I couldn't believe this.
You just did something nice for me, I want to do something nice for you.
Jessie dropped to her knees in front of me, and quickly undid my belt and opened my jeans. She pulled down my pants and shorts, and my cock popped out, pointed straight at her face. Mmmm, nice, she said. I figured she was just being polite my dick's OK, but no monster. She wrapped her fingers around my cock and started stroking it. If I hadn't already shot one load earlier in the day I'd have probably exploded as soon as she touched me, but I was able to have a little control. I was afraid to say anything for fear I'd break the spell and find out it was all just another fantasy. It was no fantasy, though, when she leaned her head down, flicked her tongue out, and ran it over the head of my cock. I shivered, and moaned like I'd been shot. I was breathing hard now. Jessie pushed her hand back to the base of my cock, and slipped the head into her mouth, sucking lightly. Oh shit, girl, that is so good! That seemed to encourage her, as she began to bob her head up and down on my cock, taking about half of it into her mouth with each stroke, her hand moving in time on the base of my dick. I knew I wasn't going to last much longer, so I let her know. Honey, if you keep that up, I'm going to come in your mouth! She didn't seem to mind that idea. Jessie pulled her hand away from my cock and sucked the whole thing into her mouth. I felt her nose bump against my belly, and her throat spasmed around the head of my cock as it bottomed out in her mouth. Fuck yes, suck it baby! As Jessie pulled back, her cheeks hollowed as she sucked so hard I felt like my balls were going to shoot right out my cock. I knew this was it. Grunting, I grabbed the back of her head and pulled it against me as I shoved my cock into her mouth all the way. I felt her throat close over the head of my cock again, and I gasped out, Shit, I'm going to come! My body shook as my balls emptied themselves through my cock into Jessie's mouth and throat. I was still holding her face against my crotch, and I could feel her throat working as she swallowed the spurt after spurt of semen I poured into her. Finally, with a gasp, I finished, and Jessie let my shrinking cock slip out of her mouth.
I didn't know if I should say anything, and was too worn out to say much anyway. Jessie didn't say a word. She stood up, looked me in the eye, smiled sweetly, and walked out with my $200 in her pocket. After she left, I leaned back against the door, panting, and thought, This is going to be a real problem.

It's been fun, Frank Layden
Grand old gentleman of the Utah Jazz has retired
Glenn in KCFeb. 1, 2010 8:59 p.m.
I worked for the Jazz back in 91-93, opening the Delta Center for the Larry Miller group. Frank and I recorded radio commercials together for the old Pro Image chain and the fun I had with Frank in the studio was only topped by the wonderful conversations we shared in his office about pro sports franchises and how they treated their fans. I had brought my thoughts about the Royals to the get togethers and Frank liked the LA Dodgers approach in MLB. Frank, if you read this, I wish you well and want you to know I fondly remember and cherish those times we spent in SLC "back in the day"...many thanks, Glenn Loest
Maria LFeb. 22, 2009 12:27 p.m.
Frank Layden is a truly a funny guy and a family man. I have know him and his wife and family all my life.Everytime he walks into a romm he just lights it up.He is true life of the party. A very caring person to.
Jack SheaFeb. 1, 2009 6:00 p.m.
Met Frank a couple of times recently. Very nice witty human being. But in all honesty his wife, Barbara, is much better looking!
Grande Spurs Fan.March 4, 2008 11:51 p.m.
Just by chance I talked to Frank Layden on the phone as part of a routine business transaction. It took a minute before I realized who he was but I came away from the conversation impressed by his true modesty, genuine interest in people, his sense of humor and, most of all, his gift for gab. If you find yourself talking to this man you better grab yourself a chair because you'll lose track of time while he talks your ear off. It made my day to have a conversation with Frank Layden. Not because of his extraordinary accomplishments, but because he's someone who makes those around him lighten up and feel good. Maybe that's a gift he has that he tries to share with others. Maybe that's his magic.

Report: Blair urges Bush to '\'re-engage'\' with U.N. before attacking Iraq
Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister, has warned U.S. President Bush that he must "re-engage" with the United Nations to secure international support before launching military action against Iraq.
According to The Daily Telegraph, Blair held lengthy crisis talks with the American leader on Thursday by telephone from Downing Street, after a week of alleged splits between Washington and London over Bush's strategy on Iraq.
Blair sought to persuade Bush to press for the re-admission of UN arms inspectors to Iraq. According to the report, Blair remains privately sceptical that Saddam will ever fully comply with the UN's demand for full access to weapons development sites. However, he believes that a final diplomatic push is vital if there is to be any chance of building an international coalition in favour of war.
A senior British minister has told The Telegraph, that Blair had urged Bush not to rule out such a move. "Tony told him to re-engage with the UN," he said. The talks were said to be friendly and lasted for almost an hour.
Meanwhile, it was announced that Geoff Hoon, the British Defence Secretary, would meet his U.S. counterpart, Donald Rumsfeld at the Pentagon on September 11. It is expected they will discuss a possible British contribution to US war plans. (Albawaba.com)

B.J. Denker was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week today.
It's the second straight week an Arizona player has won the award. Running back Ka'Deem Carey was honored last week.
Denker had 457 yards of total offense in the UA's 44-20 win over Colorado on Saturday. The senior rushed for 192 yards on 15 carries, averaging 12.8 yards per rush.
He also went 21 for 32 in the air for 265 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Denker accounted for eight plays that gained 20 or more yards, including six pass completions and two rushes.
His 457 yards of total offense are the sixth-most in school single-game history.
Denker's 192 rushing yards are believed to be a school record by a quarterback.
It's the first time this season Denker has been honored by the league.
Stanford linebacker Trent Murphy was named the Defensive Player of the Week. Washington punter/kicker Travis Coons was honored as the Special Teams Player of the Week.
Denker's award marks the fourth time this season an Arizona player has been recognized by the Pac-12. Safety Tra'Mayne Bondurant won the defensive award after week one and kicker Jake Smith took home the special teams honor after the UA's win over UNLV. Carey, of course, won the offensive award last week following his performance against Utah.

Warsaw (Sep. 30)
An effort to provoke anti-Jewish disturbances by placing the body of a Christian child in the courtyard of a Jewish house was recently uncovered in the town of Lignic, the seat of Soviet Marshal Rokosowski.
Because of the presence of Soviet military headquarters, the 1,000 Jewish residents of Lignic felt more secure than most Jews in Poland. However, when the dead child was found and anti-Semitic agitators started to spread a rumor that the Jews had murdered it, the entire Jewish population became panic-stricken.
Units of Polish policemen and Soviet soldiers were immediately stationed in the streets to suppress any anti-Jewish outbreaks, while a medical investigation was ordered. The investigation established that the child was not murdered, but had died of natural causes and was carried to the door of a Jewish home in order to incite the Polish population to a pogrom.
A similar provocation is also reported from the town of Miedzyrzec, where there are only about 100 Jewish residents. The disappearance of a six-year-old Polish child, Janina Herbaciuk, led to rumors that "the Jews had kidnapped a Christian child." Energetic measures by the police resulted in their finding the child in the waiting room of the local railway station.
Further investigation established that the child was kidnapped by a Polish woman, Teofila Pieniak, who, when arrested, admitted that she intended to bring the child to Lodz and ask Jews there to "redeem it" for several thousand zlotys as "a Jewish child" which had been given asylum by her during the years of Nazi occupation.

ARGYLE — Bret Pels did not plan to start a newbusiness, but somehow it organically came together four years ago. Pels said hehad always enjoyed his work in business and financial management, but peopleoften came to him asking for help.
"They need business management advice and, often,capital to stabilize the growth of their business," he said.
Pels is now the president of FactOne Capital, acompany dedicated to the business of factoring, which is an asset-basedfinancing method where a company uses its commercial accounts receivable, forexample, the company's invoices, to generate immediate cash. It is done byselling the invoices to a third party, called a factor, at a discount.
The factor may purchase a company's accountreceivable portfolio and, upon confirmation, typically advance 90 percent ofits face value. A fee is taken from the remainder and the balance of the fundsis released once collected.
"Usually, small- and mid-sized companies are reallygood at providing a service or selling their product," Pels said.
However, Pels said some businesses may lack thenecessary skills to operate their business or may be doing everything in theirbusiness that they may fall behind on collecting from their invoices or nothave enough financial resources to meet payroll or expand theiroperations.
FactOne helps businesses get organized, assiststhem in creating systems that will help improve the company's profitability andcash flow, Pels said.
The company serves a variety of industriesincluding oil and gas, wholesale, manufacturing and distribution entities.
One of the FactOne Capital's clients, Darrel Canada, president and owner of Canada &Associates, said factoring has allowed his business to expand.
"I probably would not have been able to expand asfast if I did not have the availability of the factoring," he said.
Based in Abilene, his company is dedicated tosafety training, alcohol testing, safety equipment sales and other types ofservices. Canada uses factoring on a weekly basis and, by working with FactOne,has been able to save from $80,000 to $100,000 per year, he said.
Having access to cash has enabled Canada to buyneeded equipment for his company and has also helped him to pay for hisemployees' travel and lodging.
"The traditional bank is not lending the way itused to," Canada said. "I still have to meet my financial obligations."
With most of his clients, Canada said he has towait between 60 to 120 days before he gets payment, even after he has completedthe work.
"Bret makes our cash flow easier. We can buy whatwe need and not need a loan," he said.
FactOne has also helped Canada with more than justproviding account receivable management solutions. The company also helpedscreen his clients.
"They will call the companies to make sure the workwas done and the PO [purchase order] was correct," he said. "They can alsoverify when I will be able to get payment."
Through factoring, Canada said he is now able toavoid what happened to his business five years ago, when he saw a drop in theoil and gas field and 12 of his customers declared bankruptcy.
"I was out $135,000 and I never had time to collectfrom them," Canada said. "They [FactOne] take that out of our hands."
Cheryl Hill, a solution analyst with FactOne, saidshe has seen the business of factoring increase by 60 percent in the past fouryears.
Hill joined Pels in his business after shecompleted her master's degree in business administration from Texas Woman'sUniversity.
"We have always been in contact, and when Ifinished my program, I wanted to do something different," she said.
There are trade groups like the Commercial FinanceAssociation, based in New York, and the International Factoring Association(IFA), based in Avila Beach, Calif., with many members dedicated to thebusiness of factoring.
The Commercial Finance Association estimates asset-basedlending for 2012 reached $620 billion. Additionally, the Commercial FinanceAssociation, a group of nearly 300 members dedicated to asset-based lending andfactoring industries reported that during the fourth quarter of 2012,asset-based lenders increased their total commitments by 2 percent, a growth of6.7 percent over the past year.
The Commercial Finance Association also reportedthe fourth quarter of 2012 was the seventh consecutive quarter asset-basedlenders had seen an increase in their industry.
With more than 400 members, who include factoringcompanies, asset-based lenders and other receivables finance companies, BertGoldberg, executive director and founder of the International FactoringAssociation, said his association has more members from Texas than any otherstate in the country.
"Texas is home to 49 members of the IFA followed by48 members in California," he said.
FactOne Capital is a member of the InternationalFactoring Association, Hill said.
Both associations also provide a formalcertification process for asset-based lending and factoring professionals,according to their respective websites.
Pels said his overall goal is to explain to smallbusiness owners the benefits of factoring including increasing the company'sbottom line, providing flexible terms and telling them that they do not needgreat credit or be in business for a long time in order to qualify forfactoring services.
"I have spoken with small business owners,high-level [C-Level] executives in large companies and management consultingfirms," he said. "Unfortunately, most of them were not fully aware of thebenefits listed above and a large number of other financial benefits, which areequally or more important to management, such as not adding debt/leverage to thebalance sheet."
Because of this, his company provides clients withconsulting services.
"We want to provide a solution," he said. "When wetalk to someone, we try to find out what their problems are and help them tosee how our accounts receivable financing combined with our managementsolutions can benefit them."

To begin the season East Lincoln senior Greyson Schram felt like he was putting too much pressure on himself.
He believed he could've been faring much better for the Mustangs, but his college decision was weighing heavily on his mind.
After deciding on Concord University, Schram's mind can re-focus on fastballs…like the one he took over the left-field fence in an exciting 9-8 victory over Lincolnton Tuesday night.
With the score deadlocked at 5, Schram stroked a two-run homer, giving the visiting Mustangs a 7-5 lead over the feisty Wolves.
"It's about time. That's all I got to say. It's about time I'm hitting the ball,†he said. "I got a lot of pressure off me about colleges, so that's helping me out a lot. I knew when it came off the bat. Coach was yelling at me to run and I just started jogging because I knew when it went off,†he added.
Following back-to-back walks to Jesse Cadenhead and T.J. Chapman, Mitchell Lynch, who suffered a painful no-decision on the mound, got some redemption by adding two more runs to the Mustangs advantage courtesy of a two-RBI single to center.
Playing East Lincoln tic-for-tac the whole night, the Wolves refused to go quietly into the cold March night.
Brandon Locklin struck out, but a passed ball allowed him to reach with one out. Junior designated hitter Caleb Lail walked bringing up Nate Wright, who laced a RBI-double to left, whittling the Mustangs lead to 9-6.
With Matt Huss reaching on an error, Lail scored and cut the lead to just two at 9-7. The table was set, with men on second and third, for sophomore Demery Brewer, who crushed a liner to centerfield.
What looked to be a go-ahead heroic hit, landed in the centerfielder's glove and had to settle for a sac.-fly RBI, bringing the winning run to the plate.
However, sophomore Jesse Guice refused to be denied as he struck out the final batter and brought to an end a ballgame that lasted over three hours long.
Jake Black had given the Mustangs a 5-4 edge with a two-RBI liner up the heart of the Wolves' defense, but Lincolnton's Tyler Howard scored via three consecutive wild pitches to send the game into extra innings.
Lincolnton trailed 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth, but Brad Goodson tied the game after doubling, then Jon Kuster gave the Wolves their first lead (3-2) of the contest with a rope into left-field.
In the top of the sixth, pinch-hitter Kevin Wiles found the gap in left-center and deadlocked the game 3-3 as Clint Hyde scored for East. A walk, with the bases loaded, in the bottom half of the inning scored Howard to give the home team a 4-3 lead.
Jesse Cadenhead recorded the win for the Mustangs and Guice notched the save. Lynch pitched six innings, struck out 12 batters and allowed BLANK hits in the no-decision.
"It was a pretty big win. Everybody was underestimating that team and they're better than everybody gives them credit for,†Lynch said. "This puts us on a winning streak. It gives us a little bit of confidence, but we just got to keep rolling,†he added.
Wolves head coach Cole Sigmon is pleased with how his team has played the past three games, although Lincolnton has lost two heartbreakers to two county rivals in that stretch.
"Their effort is there, their play is there and you have to get over that hump where it takes little things to win those close ballgames and we will. We'll get there,†he said. "Kids are going to make plays against you. They're going to hit the ball and you're going to catch it and throw it and they're going to catch it and throw it. Sometimes you just come up on the short end,†he added.
Mustangs head coach Chris Matile was pleased to escape with the hard-fought win.
"It was back and forth the whole way. They played tough, we played tough and both teams kept getting after it. We made some mistakes, they made some mistakes and both teams took advantage of those mistakes. That's what baseball is all about,†he said.
East Committed five errors on the night as part of a shoddy defensive effort, while Lincolnton committed just two.
"There are going to be errors and who takes advantage of them is going to come out on top and both teams did tonight, so we had a tight ballgame the whole way,†Matile added.

Refinery proposed for Devils Lake
Refinery proposed for Devils Lake
DEVILS LAKE — A Michigan company is expressing interest in building an oil refinery in Devils Lake.
American Energy Holdings plans to build a $250 million refinery with a capacity of 20,000 barrels per day that would employ 50 to 100. It would produce diesel and aviation fuel.
"We explained to them what we wanted to do and the opportunity that it would bring to the local area in job creations and, again, Devils Lake offered all their help and more than we could even hope for," said company CEO Will Stone.
The refinery would have about a third of the capacity of the Tesoro refinery in Mandan, and equal to two other refineries being built in western North Dakota.
"There could be another 50 indirect jobs, meaning for loading and unloading and a lot of the miscellaneous stuff that goes outside with crude oil and fuel products," Stone said.
"They have interest in us and we have interest in them," Mayor Dick Johnson said, but a lot of things have to happen before a deal is struck, including how wastewater will be discharged.
Johnson said the company has an aggressive timeframe, and is seeking to break ground this spring.
While Stone said the project is still in early development, this isn't the only project he's looking at for North Dakota.
"We're looking at more than one location, and we're looking at more than one refinery, and so we're looking at transportation infrastructure, but in addition to that, three or four other sites for three or four other refineries," he said.
American Energy Holdings plans to move forward with the project after the new year and hopes to have the refinery built within the next two years.
