This news item was published in The Republic (Columbus, Indiana) today regarding my presentation at the Sterling North Book and Film Festival in Edgerton, Wisconsin on Sept. 27.
Here is a promo poster for the 9th Annual Sterling North Book and Film Festival, to be held next Saturday in Edgerton, Wisconsin. I'm excited and honored to be one of the featured presenters at such a prestigious event.
Last year's event featured the real Patch Adams, the doctor/clown/author whom late actor Robin Williams portrayed in the movie of that name.
I've been scheduled to do presentations on my book, Murder in Wauwatosa: The Mysterious Death of Buddy Schumacher," from 10-10:45 a.m. and 2-2:45 p.m. in Room 374 at Edgerton High School that day. See a full schedule of the day's activities, as well as other information about the event at the Sterling North Book and Film Festival website.
The Festival gives otherwise unavailable access to authors and scholars while encouraging the exchange of ideas and values – it's like having a back stage pass to all the best concerts!
This is a FREE family event that promotes literacy and the city of Edgerton. So, if you love your local library, you will definitely love this event!
I'm looking forward to meeting you at the festival!
It's an honor to get a message from someone who enjoyed my book. "Murder in Wauwatosa: The Mysterioud Death of Buddy Schumacher." It's extremely professionally gratifying when an author whose work I respect gives the book a glowing review.
New York author Michael John Sullivan recently posted a review of my book on Amazon.com. His trilogy — "Necessary Heartbreak: A Novel of Faith and Forgiveness," "Everybody's Daughter" and "The Greatest Gift" — is fantastic. His books have been getting national attention and winning awards. He is also the author of a series of children's books featuring the "Sockkids." I was honored to have been asked to provide feedback for "The Greatest Gift" before it was published. When someone of this much talent and experience says he likes my book, I am humbled.
Here is what Mike has to say about "Murder in Wauwatosa:"
"Reporter/author Paul Hoffman goes to great lengths to examine one of Wisconsin's most baffling murder mysteries. It's obvious that Hoffman has extensive reporting background as he outlines the case from many angles, including a map that gives you a visual impression on where it happened.
"Hoffman discusses this horrific murder through many eyes and resources too. He discloses how he heard about this murder and why it's fascinated him enough to write a book about it. The 1925 death of Buddy Schumacher is described skillfully. Hoffman even points out how the local media covered it and why they covered it the way they did.
"Hoffman does his own homework too. He performs extensive research, dusting off records and archives. It's done with a professional standpoint giving you the impression that Hoffman may have given us the most complete account of a mystery that may never be solved.
"You need a strong heart to take this journey with Hoffman. But it's well worth re-reading it to make sure you haven't missed anything in the little details. It's what makes Hoffman good at his craft."
Thanks, Mike!
One of the press releases about to go out to media types regarding my presentation at the 9th Annual Edgerton Sterling North Book and Film Festival later this month (Festival organizers are taking care of most of the Wisconsin media; it's up to us presenters to get info to our hometown media outlets):
Paul J. Hoffman, Author of "Murder in Wauwatosa: The Mysterious Death of Buddy Schumacher," To Present at 9th Annual Edgerton Sterling North Book and Film Festival
(Sept. 12, 2014) – Paul J. Hoffman, author from Columbus, Indiana, has been chosen, along with renowned authors, the Wisconsin Poet Laureate, other nationally recognized poets, film and TV industry presenters, at the 9th Annual Edgerton Sterling North Book and Film Festival on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Edgerton High School, Edgerton, Wisconsin.
The Festival, named for well-known children's book author Sterling North who was raised in the area, is free and open to the public.
Hoffman's book is the true account of the 1925 disappearance of an 8-year-old boy, the ensuing search for him, and eventually, the investigation into the lad's killer. The story follows the hopes of a family and a community that the boy would be found alive, and then their desires that the perpetrator be brought to justice, all woven around an investigation that saw eye witnesses change their stories, evidence apparently going missing from the district attorney's office and two confessions, neither of which authorities believed. The book discusses forensic tools available to authorities at the time and sheds light on such issues of the day as Prohibition, mental health care and nearby "hobo camps." The book also discusses the good things that came out of the horrible tragedy, while also raising several questions that have never been answered.
The other presenters for the 2014 Festival include 12 authors who will provide presentations about their books. Five other presenters will discuss how to create special effects, write, produce and direct films. Other authors are: Jim Berkenstadt, David Benjamin, Betsey Draine and Michael Hinden, Max Garland (Wisconsin Poet Laureate), Kathie Giorgio, Ben Mikaelsen, Doug Welch, Terry Wooten and Julie Woik. Film/TV/Special Effects industry presenters are: Deb Blum, Alex Falk, Liz Ridley, Bobby Schmidt and Mark Winter.
Arielle North Olson, daughter of Sterling North, will present the "Sterling North Legacy Award for Excellence in Children's Literature" to David Wiesner, three time Caldecott award winner, at the opening ceremony of the Festival.

Have you ever heard the phrase "This is the best thing since sliced bread?" Well, in 1925, they couldn't say that. Because there was no store-bought sliced bread in America.
That's one of the interesting little factoids I came across today while doing research for my screenplay adaptation of my book, "Murder in Wauwatosa: The Mysterious Death of Buddy Schumacher," which is the true story of a little boy's abduction in 1925.
This was an era of Prohibition, flappers, jazz, gangsters and the like.
However, it was not an era of the following items:
There's a lot of other stuff that wasn't around in 1925. Like iPads and nitro-burning funny cars.
But, when this movie finally comes out, if you see anybody throwing slices of bread into a pop-up toaster or blowing a big pink bubble with their gum while watching a "talkie," you can put that down on the Goofs section on IMDb.com.
The Edgerton Sterling North Book and Film Festival has announced its lineup of featured authors for the Sept. 27, 2014 event in south central Wisconsin.
I am honored to have been asked to serve as a featured speaker this year.
This is what organizers are saying: "Breath-taking. That's what this Cast of Characters, if you will, really is when you stand back and look at all the amazing talent we have lined up for you this year!"

Researching real can be real cool.
In digging around for information for my upcoming screenplay adaptation of my book, "Murder in Wauwatosa: The Mysterious Death of Buddy Schumacher," I've come across a real cool story of an immigrant who came to this country broke and ended up building a virtual hardware empire in Milwaukee.
John C. Pritzlaff, great-uncle to Buddy Schumacher's father, Art Schumacher, was said to have absolutely no money when he sailed to New York City from Pomerania (an area now divided between Germany and Poland). In fact, he later said that he actually was $10 in debt at the time.
He managed to work his way up to becoming president of one of the country's biggest hardware companies, on that at one time employed 400 people. When he died in 1900, he left a fortune that in today's dollars might amount to near $8 million.
It took Pritzlaff a number of years to get where he got, and it started with the humblest of beginnings.
His father died when he was 19 years old, and young John decided to try his luck in America. He sailed to New York with a group of Lutherans, a trip that took four months. He then moved onto Buffalo, N.Y., where he worked for two years on the Genesee Canal.
In late October 1841, Pritzlaff reached Milwaukee. He performed many odd jobs – wagon driver, cook, wood chopper – until he landed a job as a shipping clerk for Shepardson & Farwell, hardware merchants. His salary his first year with the company was just $200 (about $5,600 in today's money). It is said that he typically worked from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. for this low pay.
Pritzlaff stayed employed at the company through new ownership, and planned to open his own hardware store in 1949. But owner John Nazro convinced him to stay on another year with the promise that he'd help get Pritzlaff started in the business at that time.
Nazro kept his promise, and in 1850, he bought the stock for Pritzlaff and partner August Suelflohn for their downtown Milwaukee firm. Three years later, Suelflohn retired. In 1866, Prtizlaff bought out Nazro. Annual sales of $12,000 grew to hundreds of thousands under Prtizlaff, considered to be unusually honest for a businessman of such stature at that time.
It was said that Pritzlaff "enjoyed universal respect wherever he was known," according to a story in the Weekly Wisconsin newspaper that was published immediately after his death. He was also "always on hand to contribute to enterprises of public usefulness."
He was also said to be a zealous Lutheran. He was one of the founders of the Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Congregation in Milwaukee and donated land for a new church to be built at 9th Street and Highland Avenue in Milwaukee. The church is still located there today.
Pritzlaff married while he was still employed by Shepardson & Farwell. His wife, Sophia, preceded him in death by six years. The couple had eight children. One of his children, Elizabeth, married John C. Koch, a vice president at Pritzlaff Hardware who would go on to become mayor of Milwaukee. His younger brother, Henry, is one of Art Schumacher's grandfathers.
The Pritzlaff Hardware Co. stayed in the family until 1958, when it was sold for $1.7 million.
I've set aside my bowl full of cherries and my block of orange rind Muenster cheese to update you a little on the progress of my first screenplay. But don't worry; the Torpedo Juice brand root beer obtained directly from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, is nearby in case I get parched.
Many of you know that I decided to write a screenplay adaptation of my book, "Murder in Wauwatosa: The Mysterious Death of Buddy Schumacher," the true story of the 1925 disappearance of an 8-year-old boy suburban Milwaukee boy and the subsequent search for his killer.
Going into this process, I knew I'd have to make a number of changes going from book to big screen. My brother, Andy Hoffman, who works for a production company in Chicago and who has a degree in such things cinematic, suggested I look into reading the late Syd Field's book "Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting," which is a step-by-step guide for writing sceenplays, from concept to finished script.
Another of Field's advocates is director/writer/producer Bill Dever, a Franklin, Indiana, resident who graciously allowed me to bang my head against a wall for his movie "Resurrection," to be released in October. Bill studied under Syd.
Armed with the advice in Syd's book, along with the knowledge of the basic story already, I have begun piecing together the basics of my screenplay. I haven't really written too much of the screenplay itself, although I did paste the text of my book into a Celtx file. That software helps format your sceenplay to Hollywood specs.
As I read the book, I take Syd's advice and apply it to my situation. Here is some of the advice Syd gives, as well as how I've tentatively applied it to my screenplay, which I'm tentatively calling "Blackridge," which was the name of the swimming hole little Buddy and his pals were headed for when he disappeared:
What is your movie about?
It's about a person (Art Schumacher, Buddy's father) in a place (Wauwatosa, Wisconsin) at a time (mostly 1925).
What is your main character doing?
He's trying to keep his own sanity as well as keeping his family from falling apart after the disappearance of his son and later the revelation of the boy's murder.
What kind of story is it?
It's a story about the relationships between a father and his family and his community and how those relationships can change when tragedy strikes.
The screenplay will consist of three acts, the first of which will be about 20-30 pages/minutes long followed by Plot Point 1, which is an event that changes the direction of the film. The second act will last about 60 pages/minutes, terminating with Plot Point 2. The final act will be 20-30 pages/minutes.
Act I (Set-up): We'll be establishing Art's character … who he is; what he's like at church, home, work and in the community; how he reacts to certain situations; his relationship to some of the other characters, etc. We'll also be introducing some of the other main characters.
Plot Point 1: Buddy disappears. The story is set in motion at this point.
Act II (Confrontation): Art begins his quest to find his boy. His desire to stay calm for himself and his family is challenged by nightmares, some of the newspaper reporters who hound his family, rumors flying around town, eye witnesses changing their stories, etc.
Plot Point 2: Someone confesses to the murder.
Act III (Resolution): Here is what happens to everybody, whether Art is successful or not in his quest. I won't spill the beans on this, but I know what happens (in general, specifics yet to be determined).
I know I have a lot more work to be done. I'll be doing even more research on the 1920s, Milwaukee and Wauwatosa than I did for the book. I've already looked heavily at some of the events and issues that shaped society back then, especially in that area, things like mental health care, media coverage, homelessness, Prohibition, etc. But there is so much more to know when trying to show a story in pictures than in words.
I've also spelled out on paper a lot of things that have just been rolling around in the back of my mind. These include jotting down the dramatic need of each major character… what do they want … and the conflicts that crop up that could prevent them from getting it.
Syd's book is fascinating, with several examples from Hollywood movies that many of us have seen to help illustrate his points. I have started watching for certain things in movies I watch.
I've got quite a long way to go. But I should be able to stay on track and get through the outline phase before too long and get going on putting an actual screenplay together.
OK, back to the Muenster.

Electoral Commission criticises London e-counting
The Electoral Commission has registered concerns over the electronic counting of votes in London's recent elections. It highlights a number of issues in a report on the elections for the mayor and the London Assembly. Among these are apparent discrepancies between the number of ballot papers recorded as having been issued and …
Why the government loves e-voting
It's almost like postal voting - easier to rig.
I have been to one of these counts
I have been to one of these counts based on a very similar system to the London count.. it was rubbish.
There is very little scrutiny with these systems as most votes are never seen by observers. The system only flags up "questionable" papers, but those that it doesn't flag up are never visible. With a manual system, observers can take samples of any poll which will give them a rough idea of the real result, any major discrepancy is usually obvious.
And yes.. I spend our looking at pictures of the back of ballot papers, at papers that were stuck together and papers that shouldn't even have been flagged up. Given the amount of "false positive questionable ballots", I wonder exactly how many were mis-counted.
In this particular case, I don't think it made a difference to the overall result. But in a tighter election, it certainly could.
I seem to recall
Seeing a few videos about a guy named Clint Curtis who had experience of this abroad somewhere. Wonder what happened to him?
It wasn't enough to help Ken..
.. let's hope it won't be enough to save Brown either..
eVoting more flexible
Electronic voting is much better since the software can ignore the inputs and go with the desired result. If people have voted the wrong way, this can be corrected before the vote is published. It saves a lot of violence and intimidation because people are free to vote the way that suits them. There is less need to use violence to make them vote a cirtain way since the results can be processed to produced the desired outcome.
If electronic voting had been available in Zimbabway then Dr Robert would have been re-elected without all the obvious violence and intimidation.
So electronic voting is much safer and more satisfying polling experience.
Paper & pencil - the only way

News in Brief
Certification Measure Approved in Missouri
Legislation authorizing a new alternative- teacher-certification process that supporters say could take less time and less money than the current path is on its way to Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt, a Republican who has supported the idea in the past.
The bill passed the Missouri House April 15 by an 85-63 vote—just barely above the 82-vote majority needed in the chamber. It passed the Senate in February by a 25-5 vote.
Supporters say the state faces a teacher shortage that has not been filled either with traditional college teaching graduates or through the state's existing alternative- certification process.
The legislation would let people with expertise in a particular subject—but without teaching degrees—enter the classroom after completing a program run by the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence.

Week 5 Mountain West football recap
in Sports
For the Week 5 recap podcast Jeremy is joined by Matthew K. to go over the latest action of Mountain West football. Well, we don't know much more than we did the week prior. Boise State gets outplayed by Air Force, but is it a one-game slip up or have the Broncos fallen of of its perch from being the feared team they have been accustomed to over the past decade.
Besides going through all of the games we attempt to make a decision on who is the best team in the league this year. This year the Mountain West has no clear frontrunners on a collision course to meet in the Mountain West title game, but now there are multiple teams in each division that can make the case to be the best team.
Week 3 Mountain West football recap
in Sports
Jeremy and Chris go through the nine games of the third week of Mountain West football and discuss the highs and lows of the league so far. We both fell that Boise State is the best team in the league and that Nevada really has a chance to compete in the West.
We go deep into Fresno State to try to figure out what is going wrong with that team. Is it coaching, lack of talent, scheme or just maybe we are holding onto some shred of that Fresno State is still a good team and blame the difficult schedule.
We do get to Chuckie Keeton leaving the first half of the Wake Forest game by re-injuring the same knee that he tore his ACL last year. As of this time there is no update on the status of Keeton's knee.
Mountain West football Week 1 preview
in Sports
Jeremy and Chris are back for the hour-plus shows as we are previewing the first week of the Mountain West football season. There are 12 games and the guys do gloss over a little bit of the FCS vs. Mountain West teams, but the big games like Ole Miss vs. Boise State, Tennessee vs. Utah State, UNLV vs. Arizona and other similar games get plenty of attention.
There is one super crazy upset pick by both of us, and while it won't come true it is quite possible that at the very worst this crazy pick should at least cover the monstrous spread.
Also, this year Chris and Jeremy will keep track of our picks and let everyone know how we do picking games this year, so sit back with your headphones and listen to this 80 minute show.
Mountain West football staff prediction show
in Sports
Jeremy and Chris are getting the entire Mountain West Connection staff on this podcast -- not at one time, that would be madness -- to give predictions on the Mountain West season. The staff will be asked these four questions:
Mountain West title game participants and winner:
Player of the year:
Coach of the year:
Bold prediction:
Pretty basic and with a staff of around 20 or so writers we don't want this show to drag on forever.
Week 1 Mountain West football recap
in Sports
Jeremy and Chris are back to recap the first week of the Mountain West football season, and of course we know nothing. Not because we are dumb -- well some may think so -- but all of the offseason studying we did seemed to be for naught. The league went 1-5 in FBS games with Colorado State being the lone victor of that group as they beat rival Colorado.
The other half of the games were against FCS foes, and thus it is hard to take a ton out of that and make sense of it.
We discuss how Colorado State and Hawaii are looking to be actual contenders in each respective divison, and that Boise State is not going to go away quietly. Also, Fresno State really could be in a lot of hurt this year after its loss ot USC, and it doesn't help they face Utah and Nebraska in the next few weeks.
Oh, and there was this game we don't really want to mention that happened on Sunday night.
Sit back and enjoy the Week 1 Mountain West football recap.
Food Smarts with Cornell University Food and Brand Lab
in Health
Think of exercise as a fun or well-deserved break and you'll eat less afterward. Remove the tray from your cafeteria and you'll also remove the salad from your employees' lunch. Which foods you put first in your buffet line dictate what foods are taken.
These surprising discoveries are only a few of those made by Professor Brian Wansink, the John Dyson Professor of Marketing and the Director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab in the Department of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University, Ithaca NY.
Previewing Mountain West media days
in Sports
Mountain West media days take place in Las Vegas on July 22 and 23, so to get everyone prepared we decided to preview the event. Not a ton of news comes out of media day so Matthew, Jeremy and Chris predict who the media will pick to win the Mountain and West divisions, plus the offensive and defensive players of the year.
Since no one from the staff can be at media days we go out of our way to pick who we would like to talk to the most from players and coaches. We give legitimate questions as well some off the all one's, too.
Have a listen as we get everyone prepped for the event to signifies football is just around the corner.
Mountain West football Week 4 recap
in Sports
Week 4 is finally in the books and the Mountain West looked just OK from some teams, others looked really good and a few were down right stinkers. Per usual, we go through each game to talk about what we say, and one trend we saw was the excess of quarterback play.
San Jose State, UNLV, Hawaii and New Mexico all used multiple quarterbacks on Saturday and not to shock anyone, and all but New Mexico lost their game.
We get into the San Diego State vs. Oregon State game and put away the notion that some Aztecs fans want to bench Quinn Kaehler. There were issues on offense and play calling but part of that has to do with wide receiver Ezell Ruffin out, but the San Diego State defense did a great job against Sean Mannion.
We probably spend a bit too much time going over Boise State and fawning over how they are the best team -- they really are -- and see what teams they can lose going forward on its schedule, and there are a few.

Week 2 Mountain West football recap
in Sports
Week 2 is in the books and while some things went as expected over the weekend, there were some games that did not. Jeremy and Chris will try to make sense of who is good in the Mountain West by breaking down this week's action.
We begin, as usual, in chronological order which as us begin the recap with Washington State losing to Nevada, and then Hawaii's furious comeback attempt come up short late into the night.
We check in with New Mexico who may have a quarterback who can actually throw the ball at a reasonably good rate, we get into how San Diego State really should have defeated North Carolina and is Craig Bohl providing a lot of toughness to Wyoming already.
Tune into the whole show to hear all of that and a recap of each and every game this week.

The NFL West Recess
in Football
The teams in the Western part of the country are the most underrepresented of the lot. That's the why this show, the NFL West Recess, vows to fight against West Coast Bias . . . one show at a time. But as we work towards helping that cause, that's not to say we don't have fun as well. After all, it's the NFL -- the game we know and love -- and we make sure you know more of it so that you can have fun loving it more.

Houlka is known as a basketball town and it looked like the whole town turned out to see the newly renovated gymnasium Nov. 9.
The 40-year-old facility received a $300,000 facelift which was completed just in time for the upcoming basketball season. Upgrades include new bathrooms and concession stand, a enlarged lobby, painting, insulation and replacement of some of the metal panels behind the bleachers.
"We're really glad to have our new, renovated facility," said Dr. Betsy Collums as she addressed guests at the ribbon cutting. Bro. Joe Coggins, son of a former Houlka coach, gave the invocation and Collums thanked the administration and staff of the district for their efforts in supporting the local school.
"In a small school, you wear many hats," Collums said. "You may be working the concession stand or picking up trash after a game. You just never know."
She also thanked members of the Chickasaw County Board of Education for making the renovations possible.
"We want to thank the board for being supportive in the changes we wanted to make," Collums said. "It took some back and forth to decide what work to do."
Coach Jimmy Guy McDonald introduced the Wildcats and Lady Wildcats teams for 2013-14, asking for community support for the basketball program. And he added a special request for parents to support the school in their academic efforts as well.
He said recent news reports have praised the efforts of several local school for improving their academic standards and said Houlka will improve as well.
"Parents, get behind your kids," McDonald said.
School board president, Ruby Hollin, cut the ribbon at the gymnasium dedication, officially opening it for business as usual and former players joined in a fundraising alumni game to initiate the facility.
Coach McDonald summed up his appreciation for the renovated gym in a few words.
"It's a nice place to come to work," he said.

A crushing crash!
This cymbal's medium to heavyweight boosts its volume, providing the perfect crash for heavier rock and metal styles.
Meinl's Mb20 series was created for one reason--high volume. The weights are all on the heavier side for that reason. But anyone can make a loud crash cymbal. The Mb20 series' magic is that they are still musical and they feel good to play. The cymbals are handmade in Turkey using the traditional B20 bronze alloy and then the polishing process is performed in Germany. The finish is a super brilliant finish--perfect for stage lights, and Meinl has a special two-step buffing process.
Perfect for anything loud. Order today.

Comments about Meinl Mb20 Medium Heavy Crash Cymbal:
I have the 20" version of this and it is my favorite hand hammered 20" crash I have ever owned. It is loud when I want it to be, balanced enough to be played softly, and enough cutting properties to slice through the heaviest walls of sound. The price is high but the quality is absolute.
Bottom line this is the best hand hammered Rock/Metal crash I have ever owned.

This cymbal is great! I just tried one out at a local music store. Now I'm purchasing it from musicians friend! It's a fantastic sounding cymbal. It' has a piercing sound, and it looks incredible! How ever, it is a little pricey!
Comments about Meinl Mb20 Medium Heavy Crash Cymbal:
I own the 17 and 16 heavy crash cymbals. You will not be disappointed in these cymbals. They are the best for louder styles of music. Meinl makes some really good stuff here.

Tomic joins Head tennis family
Miami, Florida — HEAD is proud to announce that 21-year-old Australian Bernard Tomic has joined the HEAD tennis family. The current No. 74 in the ATP's singles world ranking signed a long term contract with the brand and will endorse the brand new HEAD Graphene Radical racquet.
"I am very happy to be back with HEAD. I have always been impressed with the quality and extra care that goes into the development of HEAD racquets," says Tomic who played with HEAD racquets from 2007 to 2011. "I know that when I step on the court, I have the best weapon in my possession to do some serious damage."
The youngest player to represent Australia at the Davis Cup and the youngest player in the Top 100 on the ATP Tour for two straight years will endorse the HEAD Graphene Radical racquet. The new Radical series features Graphene, the latest material innovation that is an extremely lightweight material but with a breaking strength 200 times greater than steel. Graphene is integrated into the shaft of the racquet and allows the weight to be distributed where it is needed most for perfect playability and control.
With his agreement, Tomic joins fellow HEAD ambassadors like Novak Djokovic, Maria Sharapova, and Andy Murray.

Program Overview
Genre: Drama
Program Synopsis
Based on a true story, a man avenges the brutal murder of his parents by arranging the murder of the slayer. When Bill and Myrtle Moon are shot to death in a robbery attempt at their convenience store and two-pump gas station, Rudolph Tyner, a street kid from Harlem visiting South Carolina, is arrested, and an hour later confesses to the crime.
After a trial in which Tyner is sentenced to death, Tony Cimo, Myrtle's son, attempts to resume his life, satisfied that justice has been served. However, his nightmare just begins when he is informed that the death sentence is tantamount to serving life, because the state has not executed anyone in many years. Horrified by the thought Tyner could escape execution, Tony is later enraged when he learns that the trial is to be reheld.
The rage finally convinces him to act on an idea that has been secretly taking shape in his mind, which involves a convict named "Pee Wee" Haskins, a fellow inmate of Tyner's, and would forever put an end to the matter of Rudolph Tyner.

Minorites on Tampa Bay boards
A look at the boards at five of Tampa Bay's most prominent institutions
Send this to a friend
The Tampa Bay metro area is home to more than 2.8 million people, a majority of them white, according to the 2011 U.S. Census American Community Survey. The next-highest race is Hispanic or Latino, then African-American, followed by Asian.
There are more women, however, in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater than men: 1.45 million over 1.37 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, mirroring the national trend of slightly more women than men in the United States population.
But men — particularly white men — continue to dominate local boards of directors.
The Tampa Bay Business Journal chose top list-makers from the 2013 Book of Lists to illustrate minorities' and women's positions on local boards.
• Publix Super Markets Inc., based in Lakeland, tops the Tampa Bay Business 100 List with 31,000 employees and $26.97 billion in revenue in 2011.
• Raymond James Bank FSB, a subsidiary of Raymond James Financial Inc. (NYSE: RJF) in St. Petersburg, is No. 1 on the Community Banks List, with 131 local employees and $10.1 billion in assets in 2012.
• The University of South Florida is No. 1 on the Colleges and Universities List, with 1,665 full-time employees and 44,272 students enrolled in the spring 2012 semester.
• Tampa General Hospital topped the Hospitals List with 952 staffed acute care beds and 6,549 total employees.
• Tech Data Corp. (Nasdaq: TECD) is the No. 1 public company in Tampa Bay with $26.49 billion in revenue in 2011.
Heidrick & Struggles and WomenCorporateDirectors released their combined findings in the "2012 Board of Directors Survey," which showed that "traditional networks tend to be male-oriented" is the most supported reason the percentage of women on boards is not increasing globally.

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins
Random House, 1938 - Juvenile Fiction - 47 pages
Celebrate the 75th birthday of this classic treatise on bullying by Dr. Seuss with our new foil-covered, color-enhanced Anniversary Edition! As topical today as when it was first published in 1938, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is the story of a young peasant (the same as in Bartholomew and the Oobleck—a Caldecott Honor Award-winner), and his unjust treatment at the hands of King Derwin. While The 500 Hats is one of Dr. Seuss's earliest and lesser known works, it is nevertheless totally Seussian and addresses subjects that we know the good doctor was passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in Yertle the Turtle and Horton Hears a Who); rivalry (as in The Sneetches); and of course, zany good humor (as in The Cat in the Hat and the 43 other books he wrote and illustrated)! Available for a limited time only, this is a perfect way to introduce new readers to an old classic, or to reward existing fans.

The Truth Isn't Popular
For the Lord warns all to repent
Turn away from wickedness
And for all to resist!
Now until the day our Father kills satan
Criminality is here
Evil doing is still famous!
So the truth is rebuked and it's viewed as lame
If we choose to recluse and review the sayings
In the Bible...
We'd understand that Jesus is reliable
He will raise you up!
But we have to be compliable
The whole entire world's been subjected to lies
So we have the wrong things to expect when we die
A lot of people think we go to heaven and fly
But not yet!
We just rest until the judgement arrives
Ecclesiastes nine five...
I didn't believe this
Occupying the other side are just angels and demons
When a human being dies we continue to sleep in
Until God says rise at second coming of Jesus!
It's the truth...
Read the Bible if you want to see the proof
If we walk away from God we are easy to confuse
Find God!
Satan wins if he can get into our minds
He's polluting through the music...
Television's wasting time and our lives
It hurts to see my generation blind
To the point of shedding light through my undissembled rhymes
Weary eyes...
Still moving just like I was told
Praise God and state facts through my craft 'til I'm gone
Still living for the Lord...
I don't have to be known!
If we don't ever try to listen satan captures our souls
And the worse part is...
People wouldn't even know if they were on the road to hell

Emotions: The BeginningLonging
Sudden schism
Torn between the then and now
No direction
Lost amongst the threads of life
Emotions renewed
A light to find the way
Fragile still
The struggle to right the course
Decisions made
Can they be undone in time?
Tihan (Poem)Eternal flames burn bright
Trapped within a soul so pure
magic sparked enkindled power
Grace and beauty bestowed anew
What once a cage to lock inside
now opened free this mare to roam
The mirror lies and shows a false
The mask seen through, truth in light
On wings of blue her heart does soar
Eternal embrace across the divide
perseverance and determination
nothing can keep this mare down
These things I feel
Emotions for a lesser being
A decision made
The greater good served
A void torn asunder
My Sister lost
My subjects to blame
The signs so bright
A blind eye turned
Pride, my greatest sin
Nighttime devoid
The moon stands alone
Stars mourn the loss
A canvas laid bare
Alone I rule
A mask to show them all
Half the mare I was
Loneliness my companion
RarityTaste and class, this pony's got style
A fashion faux pas, she'll see at a mile
If you get her to dish, it'll go on for a while
Grace and beauty will make this pony smile
At times she thirsts for attention
Almost to the point of pretension
The upper crust, honorable mention
In the end, corrects misapprehension
Self-sacrificing for others, this pony's got liberality
Spreading generosity fills her with vitality
At times she can be grating, lacking congeniality
This designer chooses form, never functionality
FluttershyTimid and yellow and kind and meek
She cares for animals; angry and sweet
To get her to talk, is always a feat
Surprise her too often, you'll cause her to freak
Her kindness unmatched by mare near nor far
Of sharing and caring, she raises the bar
She treats everypony as if they're on par
Benevolent and gracious, hatred will not mar
Two side of the same coin, light and dark
Push comes to shove, this mare's got bark
Disrespect her friends, you'll ignite the spark
Your soul forever, her stare will mark
ApplejackApples, apples a tasty treat
Tended by one, so simple and sweet
With eyes of green, and mane of wheat
She'll buck all the apples, no small feat
There's no need for fear, when you're in danger
You're safe in hooves of this simple granger
She'll help anypony, even a stranger
She'll keep the plains safe, this pony's a ranger
This pony is honest, always with the truth
She'll tell you her feelings, even of ruth
But honesty can be raw, maybe uncouth
Nevertheless, this pony gives sooth
TrixieI open my eyes, and take in all of the sights
A new town to impress, with all my magic mights
I have to show them all, their affections to gain
Empty inside, my heart to fill, wash away the distain
I just want to show and share all of my gifts
But each and every town that I leave always throws fits
Maybe I am damaged, lacking that special thing?
That which will complete me, and make my heart sing
I act out of turn and come off as boastful
This time will be different, of this I am hopeful
As I watch the crowd gather, they ooh and they ah
I feel weight lifting, my heart starts to thaw
A group starts to speak up, my gifts they do doubt
Do they know my secret, that I don't have the clout
This place is no different, everything has been broken
I run out of town, they call me outspoken
I just wanted friendship, to feel like I'm wanted
My soul crushed now, forever to be haunted
By the ghosts of my failures and my crushing mistakes
It's all over my, I sit and I cry, as my heart it now breaks
Journey Through DarknessTrapped in darkness, engulfed in silence.
Hope lost, happiness an empty allowance.
What horrid things are done in passing?
Fears and doubts always amassing.
Eternal struggle to find the path
Back to light, the aftermath
What beauty lies beyond the veil?
As darkness old begins to pale.
A journey begins with but a step
Many an obstacle there is no prep
The weary trudge and often falter
Perseverance the way doth alter
Immortal now in days gone by
As soft caressing lullaby
The words once whispered in the dark
Bring a closing to this arc
Wood and CircuitsMy soul, taught, entwined
The grain made strong
Resonant beauty, warmth, love
Sound made flesh eternal
Digital pathways give birth
Bright soul sprung forth
Between light and dark
Waves crash upon shore
Fingers yearn for more
Strings yearning with lust
Blood and wood bind
Two souls become one
Beating rhythm encompasses all
Synthetic life breaks free
Harmonics crash, wobble, fall
One soul becomes two
*Past and Present*One hundred years ago
When summer cast golden glow
Weeping willows, river side
Cast gentle shade, punts could glide.
Mild, quiet summer day
Strawberry smell and smell of hay
Silken dress on a boat
Shaded by parasol, afloat.
Today loud music rocks river
Weeping willows really weep
T/shirt slogans, blue jean rule
Now we're noisy but very cool.
GatekeeperDrawn by a single angelic finger
As white as cotton clouds in morn
The flesh a child's in innocence
Where all its grace is well adorned
Veins of blue as bowl above
Where overflown the rain descends
A healing joy hid by that cloth
To ask for time to make amends
Fabric flown in wind through sky
Two halves crack the door
And all is seen in sightless peace
To feel a moment so implored
Expend an energetic wave
The site where there is shown
From inside out exuberate
Touched by one's own
There is a line now held in place
Behind which mirrors shine
Reflect back the present gazes
Who drive to ask before their time
Only be a part of passage
Depression's saving needed
When pouring gifts lie mouldering
And oldest wisdom unheeded
When eyes are rivers in themselves
Come in the loudest spike
And silent yawn the gates awake
To coo the crying souls alike
Imagined paint will always be
The master's tools to colour all
The mind a much creative being
That needs some help after a fall
So come and pierce the
The Guardians of Childhood (Poem)
The spirits of an innocent childhood, from long ago
Arise and always protecting, the innocent
Children who's dreams are filled with hope, with belief
With happiness as golden sand, takes the shape
Of their deepest dreams, their deepest goals,
Their deepest desires, as the sand takes on these,
A small, silent golden man, sandman, who holds the magic
Sand, that fills the kids with dreams.
He is the childhood guardian, that protects children's dreams,
Their innocence as they sleep, like soundly angels,
Smiling in the dark. This was the guardian I use to always be told
About, in my mother's stories. His golden sand illuminating
The pitch black night.
Another childhood guardian, she is the one who
Protects a child's memories, and will always hold them
Dear, whose little fairies collect their teeth without
A sound, she is Toothania, the guardian, that is as kind
And as silent as her fairies. Always letting them know
Where they can find the children's baby teeth.
Vulnerable YouthPaper hearts from bright pink tissue meant for presents,
fanciful butterflies from orange dashed cardboard,
five petaled flowers danced around the sentence
of simplicity, ultimately to discard.
Tender thoughts from censored, guarded minds,
boldly do the simple stubby fingers strive to hide
the gift from Mommy, so that she can't find
the secret depth of the darkest snide.
The gentle pressure of acknowledging gestures
even the meaningless thank you cards
meant to send you on an emotional adventures,
only to be shredded on cynical hearts' shards.
But it is the thought that counts,
those sweet little eyes haven't yet been renounced.
NeedlesThe meat is cold from bloodless lust
My organs are damaged
Path be taken down range-
-And end with chilling wall
Forest of needle spires climb
My height cannot ask
Deem the stars they point-
-For reverence physical
Destroyed as winter comes
Invested into my stock
I am bought and brought home
With no escape from the lock
Needle sew a coat of iron
Black with the char left by
Remembrance make me a scion
And kindle a soul inside
Lids have shut and no key breaks
I cannot see between blades
Cut the night to ribbons-
-Now banners to losing way
Imposing in my blindness wait
My feet are icy cold
The forward march is death incarnate-
-Though I am numb to catch
A fabric stolen mask and clothe
The boundary pointed shed
Once streamers bleeding dry wove
The semblance of disjointed ends
No try can match the mind at work
For ochre has my pallor drained
This raiment bears a doubting murk
Through glacier impassive face
My asking wanes with setting freeze
The armour frozen bites
A pleading body already w
The Beginningons ago, before time and space,
Was born a set of twins who took its place.
One had eyes of daybreak and hair of sun,
The other, hair of night and eyes of blood.
Born to Laelia, Singer of Light and Love,
Husband to Laelius, God who rules with a fitted glove.
'Twas a difficult birth, screams echoed through the empty world,
But Laelia was never alone or so the story told.
Lucifer was first, life entered with hollow cries,
Laurentius was next, his smiles greeted by butterflies.
Both welcomed with joyous celebration.
Excited Laelius, humans, his creation.
The Twins then never left each others sides.
Except when heavy choices caused morals to collide.
The Day She Falls Off Her ThroneToday she stands tall
On a mountain of deceit
But one day she'll fall
She'll be tossed off of her feet
And when this day comes
The day her reign is put to an end
She will have nothing left but crumbs
Nobody to attend
And whose fault will it be?
Her Mother's, Father's, or her own?
Perhaps all three
On the joyous day that she falls off her thrown
Death's LoveHe obtained a frightening manifestation
And held the power of creation
Without creating a new individual but becoming something with a strong relation
That kept a sturdy foundation,
As his cells connected, broke apart, and were destroyed during his formation.
Before me he stood, light lurking within his eyes, speaking of temptation.
Then, the déjà vu was overpowering, a suffocating and heartbreaking sensation.
Death played with an individual that people see as a cremation
And how I see as a pure, devilish damnation,
Where I can only vision the house it lived in, being eaten in a conflagration.
The appearance, however, delivered me into salvation,
That, alone, was enough to wash away any frustration.
The longer I stared, the more I studied, there was an alteration
In the depths of my concentration,
Where I began to piece together an understanding of admiration
That Death had somewhere in preservation.
His corpse-like figure had the power of reincarnation
And how he changed for
Ode to MaffinsBakers bake the tastiest treat
To give to mares both strong and meek
Freshness locked inside so deep
This treat I cannot wait to eat
Blueberry, orange, and even plain
Brings me joy when in the rain
Sweet and moist no room for distain
Ingesting them, I'll not abstain
Some prefer to call them muffins
But that name just means nothing
Maffins for days I will be stuffin'
Maffins, maffins worth so much lovin'

Charles Dharapak, Associated Press
With the election becoming more heated as Wednesday's debate nears, eyes have zeroed in on the two candidates to identify the differences in their views. CNN received copies of the various talking points Gov. Mitt Romney will focus on.
"America has lost 582,000 manufacturing jobs on President Obama's watch," said one of the points, according to CNN.
Americans will be looking at who has a better plan for boosting the employment rate. Romney proposes 12 million new jobs with his Stronger Middle Class plan and a reformed tax code that he said would increase the number of new jobs. The new jobs, he said, would raise income levels as well, according to the article.
"President Obama has already raised taxes 19 times. In a second, term he will raise taxes by another $2 trillion," according to another point by Romney, cited in the article.
Romney will also focus on recent events in the Middle East.
"He [Obama] has downgraded our relationship with Israel, failed to develop a strategy that protects and advances our interest in the Middle East, and put our nation on track for massive cuts to the defense budget," stated another point cited by CNN.
Romney's plans are to "reverse the President's defense cuts, and he will never apologize for America," according to the article.

Ibra derails for six week
19 August 2014 [15:25] -
Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed they will be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the next six weeks.
The Sweden star, 31, suffered an abdominal injury in the 2-0 win over Bastia in Ligue 1 on Saturday and the length of his absence means he could miss his side's next five league fixtures.
PSG released a statement on Monday documenting the specific nature of the problem, while also revealing defender Gregory van der Wiel is set for a spell on the sidelines.
It read: "Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffered a partial avulsion of the left oblique muscle under the 12th rib and will not play again for some time. His absence is estimated at approximately six weeks."
"Gregory van der Wiel suffered a fracture of the right transverse process of the second lumbar vertebra."
The Ligue 1 champions didn't reveal the length of time the defender will be out for, but reports claim he is only expected to be unavailable for the next 10 days.
Meanwhile, midfielder Thiago Motta will miss the clash with Evian after sustaining a broken nose after being headbutted by Bastia striker Brandao on Saturday.
He is expected to make a swift return to action and could even wear a mask similar to that worn by Thiago Silva last season as he recovered from a facial injury.
