Destination Guide: Phnom Penh
Gilded palaces, elegant colonial architecture and riverfront walks
Walk shoulder-to-shoulder with saffron-robed monks through street markets thronging with hawkers. Escape Phnom Penh's crowds in peaceful Buddhist temples where polished gold pagodas glint through smoky trails of incense. Across Cambodia, the Temples of Angkor have been reclaimed from the jungle.
Food and Drink
Feast on French victuals and Khmer traditions. Stroll up riverfront walkways to exclusive restaurants and enjoy French bread with pâté, and sweet pastries. Or sample fresh fish caught in the Mekong River cooked in citrus marinades and fresh herbs. Enjoy fragrant Cambodian Khmer dishes at restaurants on lively Street 278.

Nightlife and Entertainment
Visit the riverfront for tranquil evenings on land and afloat. As night falls the path lining the point where the Mekong River meets Tonlé Sap comes alive with relaxed strollers. Imitate journalists and diplomats with a Martini at the Foreign Correspondents Club and then dine aboard a brightly-lit boat as you cruise past pagodas and Phnom Penh's floating villages.

You don't always have to get out of the car to experience the beauty of this park. Starting at Mammoth Hot Springs near the North entrance, head East to Tower-Roosevelt. Take a break and have a meal in the Lodge, before continuing east into the Lamar Valley. This is where the main population of wolves are. It is also a beautiful flat valley with mountains at the far end. After getting your fill, pull a U-turn and turn Left at the Tower-Roosevelt intersection. A short distance south come to Tower falls and take the hike to the bottom...save the ice cream stand for when you get back.
Continuing south, you will climb over Dunraven Pass on your way to Canyon Village. The pass is a wonderful place to watch clearing thunderstorms and the rainbows that go with them. At Canyon Village drive along canyon drive and stop to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
After getting your fill here, take a forested drive West to Norris Geyser Basin. Take the walking tour and don't forget your camera. At Norris you have a decision to make. Either continue west and camp at Madison or head north and return to Mammoth Hot Springs. Of course if you camped at Norris, you can relax for the rest of the evening and ready yourself for the next day.

It's been dry in the west for a long time, and the southeast entrance to Yellowstone was closed by fire during much of our two week stay. One day, Rt. 191 south of Big Sky was closed by fire also. So we had to detour on our return that evening. A small inconvenience, considering the fires in California this year. But you'll do well to phone ahead and check that your route is open if fire is a possibility.

Very Gentle – I just started going to Susan and I was very happy to find her. Her studio is easy and convenient to get to, not to mention that it's very discrete. She has a cozy waiting room where you won't run into anyone because once you have met with her you exit through another door. She is very knowledgable, helpful, and her prices are very reasonable. Her process is gentle and less painful than others because of her equipment and she keep the conversation going so the time you are there just flys by. I can't wait for my next appointment.

Columbus Crew
The Men in Red extended their unbeaten streak to six games across all competitions on Wednesday night (4-0-2), coming behind to defeat the Colorado Rapids 2-1. Columbus notched a big win against Montreal last time out and face difficult trips to Kansas City and LA after the Saturday's home game against the Fire.
Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective in this big match for both teams (LIVE Saturday 6:30pm CT on My50).
The turnover game - both teams will look to pressure each other's back line
In the Crew's most recent loss to the Union earlier this month, the Ohio team had major problems retaining possession when put under pressure. The Union forwards, especially Jack McInerny, did not allow Columbus time on the ball and the pressure led to Philly getting on the score sheet.
Johnson, Rolfe Preview Columbus
As we know, players like Mike Magee, Chris Rolfe and Patrick Nyarko are excellent at putting pressure on the opponent's defense and this will be important on Saturday night.
On the other side of the coin, the Crew like to deploy the high pressure tactic too, with former Fire player Dominic Oduro often hunting down defenders and not allowing them time on the ball.
READ: Berry recovers from blunder with winning goal vs. Rapids
In the Crew's 2-0 win over the Montreal Impact last weekend, Oduro stole the ball from a Montreal defender before slotting home the Crew's second goal in the 22nd minute.
Fire defender Austin Berry had an unfortunate incident in Wednesday's match against Colorado where he was stripped of the ball allowing rookie Deshorn Brown to give Colorado the lead.
In a game that is expected to be very tight, the team making the least mental mistakes could end up on top.
The battle on the left side - Duka/Lindpere vs Anor
Columbus winger Bernardo Anor won many plaudits for his performance against Montreal last week on his first start back from a horrible ACL injury.
The left-footed Venezuelan started on the right against the Impact and will be looking to build on that performance against the Fire Saturday night.
On the same side of the field, coach Frank Klopas will be choosing between former Crew winger Dilly Duka and veteran Joel Lindpere for the start.
Dan and Kevin Talk Crew
Duka played his best game for the Men in Red against Colorado on Wednesday night as he was able to get in 1v1 situations on numerous occasions and earned the penalty that equalized the match.
Lindpere has yet to fully live up to the high expectations put on him by Fire fans after his move from New York this offseason.
With the team in the middle of a 4 games in 11 day stretch, a start for Lindpere seems plausible.
Getting back into the stating XI in a huge Eastern Conference showdown could be the perfect motivation for Lindpere to put in a man of the match performance on Saturday night.
Dominic Oduro - A striker with a point to prove
With seven goals to his name this season, Dominic Oduro has landed on his feet in Columbus after his trade away from the Windy City. Oduro also seems to have developed into a more complete striker since his move.
The speedy Ghanaian's patience on the ball has resulted in him making better decisions and linking with his midfielders more instead of going alone and trying to score.
What has impressed me about Oduro since the trade is his move away from a reliance on his right foot to a player that is comfortable shooting with both.
READ: The Influence of Jeff Larentowicz
Fire fans will remember Oduro's hot and cold finishing but on his day, he can be unstoppable. The Fire have held Oduro scoreless in two matches already this season but at home, the Ghanaian will be aiming to prove a point and it is up to the Fire defenders to keep him quiet on Saturday night.

I took two MLS virgins to the game on Saturday night at Toyota Park. Takeaways the night of: Modelo and Tyskie were a plus, Section 8 is loud, my stadium blanket is missing a button or two.
But when I asked them about the game last night, the takeaways were different. "It's like they were snakebit," one of them said.
Snakebit is probably too kind. Cubs-related words start to come to mind when you miss the chances the Fire missed in the second half before Jeff Larentowicz finally scored in the 83rd.
Andy Greunenbaum was on fire, ok, and obviously if the finishes were a wee bit more clinical the Fire could've made it a laugher, but in the moment, in the stadium, freezing, it felt like the goal would never come.
Section 8 and the rest of the fans were torn between encouraging the team and letting out some boos (and grunts and groans and other moans) of frustration. In my section, a kind of supporter dichotomy emerged throughout the second half as one fan stood to admonish Chris Rolfe after a second half miss, while a soccer team sized group of young girls cheered Rolfe on, assuring him he'd get the next one.
But Gonzalo Segares had a shot from 10 feet right at the keeper in the 49th minute and Larentowicz badly sliced the follow up, Austin Berry was robbed in the 75th, Patrick Nyarko was blocked in the 51st and 54th, and Rolfe in the 56th and 75th. The crowd was exasperated and freezing and desperate to figure out what to make of the game.
Every good passage seemed to be punished or mercilessly ignored by Greunenbaum, who was scarily springy. Every time Nyarko's hustle was rewarded with space behind the Crew or the decisive pass (which seemed like every time he was near the ball), nothing. Every time Rolfe turned his man, he booted the finish. That was what was most frustrating - it was like the game was ignoring how well the Fire were playing. It all felt sort of cruel.
And so it makes soccer-perfect sense that the goal didn't come from a measured through ball or some quick passing, nor did it come from the high pressure that harassed Columbus all game. It came on a basically ugly long throw and an industrial finish from Larentowicz.
The game ran out of ways to keep the Fire from scoring, and the team reacted - erm, celebrated - with as much an exhale, like, "Finally," as hysterical exuberance. Look at the gif above. After his goal, Larentowicz barely smiles!
But the game doesn't care. In the end my friends had witnessed a fairly good introduction to Toyota Park. The game was exciting, the Fire won the day, and maybe most important, the cheering dilemma in my section was definitively decided in favor of the encouraging girls.

Some of the best tweets in the lead-up to, during and after Saturday's 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew...
Select shots from the Fire's 1-0 win over the Crew
Get to know this year's version of the Fire's long-time foe.
Check out the MLS scouting report below, for a technical break down of both sides.
The Fire return to Toyota Park to take on the Columbus Crew Saturday (LIVE 7:30pm CT on MLSsoccer.com) with no points to show after an encouraging performance last weekend against the Dynamo. But for a few mistakes, the result could have been a lot better for the Fire, but the team is certainly improving.
Columbus come to Chicago on a four-game unbeaten streak and have picked up two wins on their travels this season. Here are a few things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Getting the ball wide – creating 1v1 situations with the Columbus outside backs
Looking at the Columbus defense, Chad Marshall has been a rock for 10 years in the middle and the addition of the Brazilian Glauber means the Crew has one of the strongest center back pairings in the league.
On the outside however, there are some weaknesses, particularly on the left. Against Montreal last week, the Crew stuffed the middle of the field when the Impact had the ball in an attempt to prevent Felipe from creating. This meant there was a lot of space on the wings and when the Impact actually got the ball to the outside, they created chances.
WATCH: CHIvCLB Match Preview
If the Fire are going to try and single out Tyson Wahl and try and get in 1v1 situations with him, Patrick Nyarko might be the best player for the Fire to deploy on the right hand side. Bringing in Nyarko would mean either dropping or shifting Daniel Paladini, the Fire's standout player so far this season.
Another issue to deal with on the left hand side for the Crew is the presence of Eddie Gaven. Though Gaven has left his left back Wahl exposed on more than a few occasions this season, his attacking play makes up for it.
In any case, I expect to see a lot of activity on that side of the field and those battles should be fascinating to watch.
Dominic Oduro – not letting the former Fire player get in behind
The Fire traded Dominic Oduro to the Crew in the offseason for Dilly Duka and the Ghanaian has notched three goals for his new club this season. The Fire defenders will know all about the pace of their old teammate and the runs he tends to make, but they still need to be very cautious and the back line must work as a unit.
The danger of playing a high line against Oduro is that he can make runs in behind, whereas if the defense drops too deep, it allows the Crew to pile on the pressure and keep the Fire pinned back in their own half. Another, less reported danger from Oduro's runs in behind is the second ball opportunities they create.
When balls are being played through to Dom, oftentimes defenders are stretching to cut them out, or just turning and blindly kicking the ball away, resulting in second ball opportunities. Columbus are very good at getting men forward to pick up on these second balls, with players like Higuain and Viana looking to do so whenever possible.
This tactic worked well for Columbus against the Impact last week. The emphasis will be on the Fire midfielders to track their runners and not allow Columbus to create chances from the second balls on Saturday night.
Defending set pieces – beating a dead horse but a noteworthy point
Watching the Crew's last few matches reminded me again of how good Federico Higuain's deliveries from dead balls are. His corners and free kicks, from any distance, cause havoc in the box.
Against Houston last week, the winning goal came off a badly defended set piece all around for the Fire. Brad Davis was allowed to put the ball in under no pressure after playing the free kick short and then the Fire's back line and goalkeeper all froze, allowing the ball to bounce straight into the net.
It's difficult to blame one person for the goal, but it was a very soft one to give up. That being said, I would like to see goalkeeper Sean Johnson start to come and claim more corners and crosses, especially with his size, but doing that brings about the risk of not getting to the ball and allowing easy goals to be scored.
In any case, allowing free headers against Columbus is unacceptable and picking up a clean sheet for only the second time this season would be welcomed by fans and technical staff alike.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Chris Rolfe and Joel Lindpere.

New Orleans Roadfood Festival Special Events
Sun, 01/17/10 3:45 PM
I guarantee that everyone with an appetite is going to eat extremely well at the New Orleans Roadfood Festival March 26-28, 2010. In addition to the spectacular array of America's Roadfood available from vendors on Royal Street, not to mention the bounty of New Orleans itself, here are some Festival events and opportunities to make it the weekend of a lifetime:
Friday Night Opening Party
and presentation of the first annual
Roadfood Blue Plate Award
to legendary New Orleans restaurateurs Anthony and Gail Uglesich. The event will provide an intimate setting for a small number of guests to enjoy the company of fellow Roadfood devotees as well as to meet and chat with the renowned cooks who are coming to New Orleans to be part of the Festival. The Party takes place in a French Quarter setting the likes of which outsiders rarely see: the historic Boucvalt House. The menu will feature fare NOT otherwise available during the Festival: pulled pork from The Brick Pit of Mobile, Alabama, Five-Way Cincinnati Chili from Camp Washington Chili Parlor, all the shrimp and raw oysters you can eat, hot pork cracklin's from T-Boy's Slaughterhouse, Cafe Reconcile White Beans and Shrimp … and an open bar featuring New Orleans cocktails. For details and to purchase tickets, visit:
Saturday Night Crawfish Boil and Pig Roast
. My fondest memories of last year's festival revolve around this event: classic Cajun food in a true-swamp setting with live music and dancing, real alligators poking around the pig roast, and the camaraderie of fellow Roadfooders. We're doing it again this year: same wonderful place and same fais-do-do spirit. For details and to purchase tickets, visit:
The "Friends of Roadfood" Experience
. A very limited number of tickets will be available to those who want the ultimate culinary weekend. Each ticket provides full access to the Friday and Saturday night parties, an invitation to a private dinner with the Uglesiches, the Sterns and the Rushmores, special accommodations at the beignet-eating contest, and a personal introduction to each of the vendors by Jane, Michael and/or Stephen. For details, visit:
Here is a snapshot from last year's crawfish boil. Left to right, that's Sue on the washboard with whisk, Bruce with tamborine, Amy with washboard and spoon, Jane with tamborine (and deep in a swamp-country trance), and Chris with washboard and whisk.

FORT WAYNE – The question wasnt whether defenseman Jamie Milam would make the Komets better. It was whether it was too late.
Its still too early to tell, but Milams goal in a 5-4 overtime victory over the Toledo Walleye on Wednesday was a step in the right direction.
Milam, 28, has two goals in seven games, of which Fort Wayne has won only two.
The Komets play the next two games – tonight and Saturday – in North Charleston, S.C., to play the South Carolina Stingrays, who are eight points ahead of the Komets for the eighth and final playoff spot with 14 games remaining in the regular season.
There has been an adjustment period for Milam who spent the first half of the season in England and Poland, scoring three goals and 12 points in 18 games.
I knew it would be a faster game, a different game coming back (to America), Milam said, and I know it would be more physical than what I had experienced this season.
Milam certainly wasnt the first player to go to Europe and come back because it lacked the comforts of playing hockey in the states.
Im happy to have had the experience, but Im happier to be back. Thats just a different hockey world over there. You get used to things and being privileged over here. Then you go over there and its night and day, how things are done and how things are treated. Its good to be back. It took two days in this locker room to have more fun than I was having over there.
The Komets are 28-28-2. South Carolina is 30-24-6.
Milams biggest task is to help improve the Komets power-play unit, which ranks 22nd of the ECHLs 23 teams at 12.6 percent.
And while he was apt to throw devastating hits last season – he had 20 goals and 41 points in 66 regular-season games – hes still re-acclimating himself to the speed of the prospect-laden ECHL.
Its faster here, he said. Its a slower, puck-control, non-physical style there in Europe. There are hits and everything, but the better players are the ones that hang on to the puck and make slower, more predictable plays than this league. But it works over there. The ice surface is bigger there. I come back here and everything is jammed together and you have a lot less time.
The Komets are running out of time, if they want to win a fifth championship in six years.

Our panel - Jeff, Charlie, Thommo, Merse and Le Tiss - tell us about the first World Cup they remember.Back to story
My first world cup was the greatest in english history 1966 i watched every England game aswell as Brazil, Portugal. Watching the likes of Pele,Eusebio,Beckenbauer as an 11 year old was pure magic.One of my fondest memories was when England played Portugal in the semi final and my mum ,god bless her,kept saying" Don't let Essebo get it" meaning Eusebio.And who can forget the thrilling final My heart sank when West Germany equalised but we came good in the end.Hope we can repeat it
Posted 14:46 11th June 2010
My first memory of the World Cup was '78 but my first clear memory of the World Cup was '82. The greatest Brazil team never to win it (Careca got injured just before the tournament started) who with a decent goalscorer should have gone on to win it with players like Socrates, Eder, Junior Falcoa and Zico was a fantastic memory. It was when the dissapointment first started with England that sticks out most. Once again starting brilliant against a top French team then just coming up short a usual. I remember a good Polish team and of course the great Paulo Rossi.
Posted 10:13 11th June 2010
MEXICO '86!!! I was ten at the time. I had only just taken to the game then suddenly, down in Mexico there was a carnival of colour, drama & flambouyance. Lineker's goals, Brazil/France quarter-final, Igor Belanov, Denmark 6-1 Uruguay. Maradona. Broke our hearts a little but handball or not, he had the entire tournament in the palm of his hand.
Posted 14:26 10th June 2010
My first World Cup it was 1982 in Spain, witch I remember very well (Poland finished 3th after lose with Italy in semifinal 0-2). Not quite well I remember 1978 (I was 8 years old) be cos transmission was very late. 1982: Zico, Socrates, Platini, Rossi, Maradona, Boniek and Hungary-Salvador 10-1 ;)
Posted 01:27 10th June 2010
Surely the best moment in 1990. Cameroon v Argentina. Massings tackle, or non tackle, on Argentina's Canniggia. The guy got applauded by the crowd all the way off the pitch after his red card. Cameroon won and Massing became a legend!!!
Posted 22:31 9th June 2010
first world cup 1982 brilliant the second best after 1990 only coz of england getting to semi finals cried me eyes out from london originally so makes me more patriotic come on the lads this time its ours
Posted 22:20 9th June 2010
Italia '90 was my first World Cup. So many great memories from that tournament. Roger Milla and his corner flag dance, Toto Schilllaci the Italian super-sub, Pavarottis theme tune that still brings back the memories, Paul Parker's bizarre own goal, David Platts late wonder goal against Belgium and Gazzas tears to name but a few. The tournaments since then have never really hit the same heights - he's hoping for that to change in 2010!!!!
Posted 16:49 9th June 2010

Banks' save,englandvbrazil,pele,the great italianvgermany semi,that final goal..total football 40 years ago.Tackles with no bookings! flowing football in bright colours,referees in black. the tv opened up the greatest game and tourament ever,all in my own front room.....thank you

France 98 my earliest memory of the world cup, what a special event that was... I always get a sense of jealousy before and during a world cup, want to be apart of it instead I have to watch it of TV with the rest... Having said that, it's special very special, World Cup creates this buzz all round the World for everyone which is unique in itself.... Come on Boys, just imagine the party this nation will have!!!!
Posted 13:13 9th June 2010
The 1998 World cup in France! Only 7 at the time, but the England vs Argentina game, made me wanna play football as i grew older. I remember running upstairs after the penalty shootout crying like someone had stolen a thousand pounds worth of sweets from me! haha
Posted 11:55 9th June 2010
Mine was probably 98 as well, when zidane and crew were crowned kings of the world. to be honest i didn't mind them winning just because it was such a shock with everyone expecting brazil to lift it again. England going out was bad, but i supported yugoslavia, since i lived there at the time and to lose to the dutch in the semi's after having a good game and so many chances was truly heartbreaking.
Posted 11:50 9th June 2010
My First world cup was U.S.A 94, the biggest memory i have of that was being a little 8 year old boy with an Ireland flag draped over me and the my house packed with loadsa irish screaming at the tele, Agaisnt Italy, And when Ray Houghton (Legend) Lobbed the keeper from 25 yards with a screamer and we beat them 1-0 was a moment to savour, also we were the only team to beat Italy that year in 90 mins. And the flay was out the window for months................
Posted 11:43 9th June 2010
1974 , as England were not there I wanted Scotland to do well , but I remember following Poland (maybe because they knocked us out ) and in particular a forward called Lato .The first competition I drooled at was 1982 and the best international side I have ever seen "Socrates Brazil side" .
Posted 11:25 9th June 2010
italia 90 was my first knowing experience of a world cup and me wanting england to do well i was only 6, shame i had to wait 8 years for the next one haha! but it is a unique feeling about it, its very special.
Posted 11:06 9th June 2010
my first world cup was 66 it has good and bad memories for me as my dad passed away during it. but Alan Ball on the wing was amazing, Geoff Hurst's hatrick a record I don't think will be broken. also watching OUR Big Jack fall to his knees at the final whistle
Posted 21:23 6th June 2010
it was the 1994 world cup in USA and i was a wee 7 year old lad at the time. I was actually in italy on holiday and the big games were being shown in the town square on big screen not far from where we were staying. I'll never forget watching the final game between brazil and italy and wittness baggio boot his penalty over the bar. people were screaming, crying, acting hysterical at times. . . i though was quite happy with my vanilla icecream cone, ahh to be young without a care in the world
Posted 05:53 5th June 2010
As a person from Africa I expect this to be a world cup to remember. Rooney is going to be the best player in the early phase of the tournament unfortunately he wont go any further as England will be eliminated at the quarter finals. The obscession of winning the cup will evaporate.
Posted 22:32 2nd June 2010
I remember France '98, I was 10 years old. Ronaldo was my hero and I watched every game he was in. I cried when we went out to Argentina too haha. England 2010 come on boys!
Posted 22:14 2nd June 2010
great story trevor fairly, thats what the world cup is about!! mine, (being irish,) would have to be packy bonner and david o'leary in italia 90'! terrible game but winning on penalties was a really great moment and gave the country a huge lift at a bad time..... should have beat the italians tho!!!
Posted 14:19 2nd June 2010

The Benton Police Department is requesting help from the public in locating a shooting suspect.
A man was shot in the chest in the area of Millbrook Cove midnight Thursday, according to a release from the Benton Police Department.
The victim was transported from the scene via Medflight and is currently in serious condition, according to police.
Relay For Life of Saline County has been moved to the First Southern Baptist Church North Campus Gym, located at 8800 Arkansas 5, across from Midland Road.
The event was moved indoors because of weather forecasts calling for rain on Friday night.
Activities will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and conclude 6 a.m. Saturday.
For more information contact event chairs Renee Taggart at 501-529-3839 or Monica Harris at 501-804-3875.
HASKELL – After taking two games from Magnet Cove (9-5 and 6-5 wins) over the weekend, the Benton Harmony Grove Cardinals put their winning streak at six with a 14-2 shellacking of the Cutter Morning Star Eagles on Monday.
"I'm very proud of the leaps and bounds these guys have made this year," Cardinals' Coach Brandon Mynhier said. "They work hard and have really learned how to win."
The Cardinals (10-8, 5-2 5-3A) pounded out 11 hits in the win and Ryan Roush started getting the win. Roush gave up two runs on five hits and two walks in five innings, and struck out six.
BRYANT – The Bryant Hornets soccer team wasted little time in dispensing of the JA Fair War Eagles 9-0 in 7A/6A South conference play on Friday at Hornets Stadium.
Junior Bryce Denker scored five goals in the win, the second time this season Denker has scored five goals in a game. But Denker didn't start the game with a goal. It was an assist to senior Cameron Furton from Denker at the 36:14 mark of the first half that got the scoring started.
LITTLE ROCK – The Benton Panthers soccer team had no trouble with the JA Fair War Eagles in 7A/6A South conference action on Wednesday in Little Rock. The Panthers won 7-0 and Coach Bobby Winn said his team didn't suffer a hangover after its emotional victory against Bryant last week. It was the first time Benton boys soccer beat Bryant since 2004.
"The team played really focused after a huge win vs. Bryant and did not play into a trap game situation," Winn said.
BRYANT – The Bryant Lady Hornets fell 8-6 to the Lake Hamilton Lady Wolves in 7A/6A South conference action on Friday at Lady Hornets Field. Bryant was down 7-2 in the fifth inning, but couldn't complete the comeback in the bottom of the seventh.
The Lady Wolves jumped on the Lady Hornets (10-9, 6-4 South) in the first inning plating three run in the top half. Bryant responded with a run in the bottom half when junior Katy Stillman scored on a passed ball.
BENTON - The Benton Lady Panthers were the rulers of the 6A South conference a season ago, finishing with an undefeated 14-0 record and earning the No. 1 seed in the 2012 State Tournament. With that season history, a new leader has emerged in the conference; the Sheridan Lady Yellowjackets.
Swifton Tole, age 80, of Pangburn passed away Saturday, April 20, 2013, at his home after a courageous battle with leukemia.
Swifton was born in McJester (Cleburne County) on Oct. 27, 1932, to Avalee Henderson and Edmond Swifton Tole. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Henderson and Eddy Tole.
Charles A. Garrett, 85, of Benton, Arkansas, passed away April 18, 2013 at Saline Memorial Hospice surrounded by wife and sons.
Charlie was born March 29, 1928 to the late Arthur and Sylvia Garrett in the southwest Arkansas community known as Weaver. He was the second of four siblings including the late George Garrett and the surviving Marion Huegin of Placentia, California and Glenda Westmoreland of Prescott, Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK — Gov. Mike Beebe has signed into law legislation that will allow Arkansas to use federal Medicaid dollars to purchase private health insurance for thousands of low-income residents.
Beebe signed the bills Tuesday. The measures set up the "private option" program that supporters have touted as an alternative to the Medicaid expansion called for under the federal health care law. The proposal would allow the state to purchase private insurance through an exchange set up through the law.

Ask for Murni's when you arrive in Bali and your driver will know right where to take you.
Murni opened Ubud's first real restaurant in 1974 and it remains first in the hearts of many people today.
Ubud is the cultural and artistic center of Bali and many of the finest works of craftsmanship turn up at Murni's Warung Shop.
Murni's Villas are sometimes known as the Villas of 33 Statues.
Tamarind Spa at Murni's Houses is designed around a unique concept, creating not just a relaxing healthy, healing experience but also an artistic experience.
Ask for Murni's when you arrive in Bali and your driver will know right where to take you. The only thing he might ask is whether you want a place to stay, or eat or shop or a spa—or if you just want to meet Bali's most gracious living legend. There is a Murni and every day she's in Ubud making new guests and old friends feel welcome.
In 1974, Murni opened Ubud's first real restaurant and since then thousands of people have enjoyed her food and hospitality.
Today, Murni's Warung has four open-air levels that step down the steep hillside overlooking the river and it is still one of Ubud's most popular restaurants.
Click on the picture and we'll show you around.
Just above Ubud are Murni's Houses. These six guest houses and spa are built in a traditional Balinese compound and you will enjoy peaceful seclusion that's just a three-minute walk to Ubud's main street.
A New York Times travel writer called them one of the world's ten best small hotels. Since then, they've just gotten better.
Click on the picture and we'll show you around.
Twenty minutes drive outside Ubud—and a world away from life's cares and concerns—are Murni's Villas. These three luxury accommodations are known as Villa Kunang-Kunang, named after the fireflies that sparkle above the rice terraces at night.
Murni lives in one and offers the other to guests.
Click on the picture and we'll show you around.
Tamarind Spa welcomes everyone with exquisite flowers, fountains,tranquil surroundings, soothing aromas and calming music, all served with a generous portion of Balinese hospitality.

Murni's Ubud, Bali
This video was directed by celebrity photographer Kwaku Alston, who numbers Brad Pitt, Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey among his clients.
Press Release
Ubud's first international standard restaurant celebrates 40 years with the publication of a new book.
Bali is one of the world's most popular and enduring holiday destinations. Bali hosted 2.88 million foreign tourists in 2012. In 2013 this rose to 3.1 million.
According to the World Tourism Organisation, in 2007 there were 1,365 restaurants in Bali. Five years later, this had surged to 1,645 restaurants with 80,989 seats. Murni's Warung, in the cultural capital of Bali, was Ubud's first international standard restaurant and, on 20 February 2014, the Warung will be celebrating forty years since it first opened in 1974.
The Orchid Press publication Forty Delicious Years is the story of Bali's most enduring culinary landmark—Murni's Warung in Ubud. Narrated by some of the Warung's most intriguing patrons, with a preface by Murni herself, the book tells the story of how a humble roadside stall became an institution—in fact a 'must visit' on a magical 'must visit' island.
According to Ibu Murni—whom many regard as 'the Mother of Balinese Tourism': "The 20th of February also happens to be my calendar birthday and, what's more, this date falls on the same day as my Balinese birthday. This rarely happens, so it's a triple … no, a quadruple celebration."

Jeb Bush on War & Peace
Republican FL Governor; V.P. prospect
To seriously challenge for the presidency, a Republican will have to pointedly distance himself from Jeb's older brother: acknowledging that George W. Bush squandered the budget surplus he inherited. No Republican will be able to promise foreign-policy competence unless he or she acknowledges the Bush administration's disastrous mismanagement in Afghanistan and Iraq. It won't be enough for a candidate merely to keep his or her distance from W: Romney tried that and failed. To seriously compete, the next Republican candidate for president will have to repudiate key aspects of Bush's legacy. Jeb Bush would find that excruciatingly hard even if he wanted to. And as his interviews Sunday make clear, he doesn't event want to try.
Bush said that not maintaining the viable prospect of US military action "empowers bad behavior in Tehran amongst its leaders." Bush criticized the Obama administration for failing to encourage internal resistance to Iran's mullahs. Iran's theocrats have subjected the "green movement" protesters to a series of brutal crackdowns.
"I think we need to be much more aggressive in supporting civil opposition to the regime in Iran," Bush said. "I was saddened to see how the Obama administration handled the post-election revolution on the streets. It seemed like we were very tepid, at a time when we should forcefully support freedom. It's part of who we are as a nation, and I think we should embrace this noble notion: If not for the United States, who? Who will be there to help?"
Jeb supported the covert American effort to supply the right-wing militias making up the Nicaraguan contras in the mid-1980s. He has long supported the overthrow of Fidel Castro in Cuba. In 1997, he signed onto the Project for a New American Century, a group that included many of the neoconservative architects of the Iraq invasion, which called for a "Reaganite" foreign policy of military strength and "moral clarity"--although in 1998, the year he was running a second time for Florida governor, he was not a signatory to the group's call to invade Iraq and depose Saddam Hussein.
The fact of it was, Jeb was deeply troubled by Vietnam and Johnson's handling of it. So troubled, in fact, that in the coming years, not only did he not sign right up to join the infantry but instead he was seriously considering filing for conscientious objector status, and wanted to run it past his dad.
To George H. W. Bush's credit, and notwithstanding his later, withering criticism of those who did not fight, he told Jeb that he would support whatever decision he made. George said, 'Whatever you decide, I will back you 100%.'"
In late 1971, Jeb, a lanky 18-year-old with hair longer than his parents might have liked, decided to back his father's political career. He went to Houston to get his physical. Had Nixon & Congress not wound down the draft, Jeb would likely have been called up. So he can argue that although he wrestled with the prospects of fighting in a war, in the end he did the right thing by his country.
We must acknowledge the great debt we owe patriots like [our lost soldiers]. We should honor their service by ensuring that our actions, both in and out of this chamber, are worthy of their sacrifice. We must serve this state as honorably and effectively as they serve this country. I believe we are on the right path.

I don't think I've ever seen it, and you're probably wondering what this has to do with family history. Well a couple of days ago the answer would have been nothing. But that was a couple of days ago...before my Prehn research (that I talked about yesterday), before my recent trek to Genealogy Bank - where I let my fingers do the walking until I found..."Dallas Couple Lands in Paris Film Making."
Evidently Walter Lawrence Prehn and his wife, Carrie (Hille) Prehn, were vacationing in Europe. They made a visit to Paris and wanted to take a quick boat ride (or is that Bateau Mouche ride?) on the Seine. They arrived just as the bateau mouche was starting off. They had to jump to get on the boat, but they made it. The trip is underway, but they realize it's not going to the destination they thought. Curious they stopped a man in a beret and asked where they were going. Needless to say the man was slightly taken aback...he thought they were joking. He informed them that the ship was being used as a movie set and all the "passengers" were actors. The film? You guessed it....Paris Blues. The newspaper article goes on to say that Joanne Woodward and Sidney Poitier stopped by and apologized to the Prehns. And the man in the beret? Why he was the director, Martin Ritt. Walter and Carrie ended up as extras in the movie. So now I'm going to have to rent the movie and watch for them.
I tried to enhance the newspaper photo...but didn't have much success.
I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again, I LOVE newspapers. You just never know what you're going to find. Does this add genealogically to my data? No, but I love the story and I love the little glimpse into their life. Things like this turn them from mere names into people, or ancestors.

When Pauline Phillips put pen to paper, she became a completely different person. That person was Abigail Van Buren – "Dear Abby" as she was known to her legion of loyal readers. The celebrated advice columnist, and twin sister to equally famous columnist Ann Landers, died Wednesday at age 94.
Abigail Van Buren, better known as Dear Abby, holds a photo showing her mother and father ... In 1905, her parents ... were faced with the decision of a lifetime, whether to leave Russia. It would be 13 years before Rebecca gave birth to the twins who would become America's best-loved advice columnists. (AP Photo/Doug Pizac)
Van Buren left behind a massive legacy of good advice. Some of her advice was funny, some sassy, some very serious. And some of it was just plain weird… but only because some of the questions she was asked were equally weird. Many of these were immortalized in Van Buren's The Best of Dear Abby collection, and some of them are too strange to believe.
But can you guess which ones? Below are five letters to Dear Abby. For each one, we'll give you three responses to choose from. One is the real deal, Dear Abby's answer. The other two are fakes, made up by us. How many can you get right?
1. Dear Abby,
Is it possible for a man to be in love with two women at the same time?
a. Not if he knows what's good for him.
b. Yes, and also hazardous.
c. That's not love, it's lust. You need to choose.
2. Dear Abby,
My boyfriend is going to be twenty years old next month. I'd like to give him something nice for his birthday. What do you think he'd like?
a. Never mind what he'd like. Give him a tie.
b. How about a dozen roses? Men give us flowers all the time – we can do the same for them.
c. This sounds like a job for Dr. Ruth.
3. Dear Abby,
Are birth control pills deductible?
a. Only if they work.
b. Only if they don't work.
c. Is Viagra?
4. Dear Abby,
When you are being introduced, is it all right to say, "I've heard a lot about you?"
a. Only if what you've heard is all good.
b. Only if what you've heard is all bad.
c. It depends on what you've heard.
5. Dear Abby.
Do you think about dying much?
a. No, it's the last thing I want to do.
b. Only when I get weird questions like this one.
c. All the time.
While you work on your answers, here's a video memory of Abigail Van Buren for you to watch…
And now, the answers!
1. b
2. a
3. b
4. c
5. a
If you got them all right, you're a superstar – maybe you should start writing an advice column yourself! We bet it would be great… but we have to admit, our hearts would still be with Dear Abby.

Henry Chooses Alabama
September 28th, 2012 04:47 PM║ Posted By: Josh Ward ║ Permalink
Tags: Alabama, Altee Tenpenny, Dee Hart, North Little Rock
Derrick Henry surprised no one Friday afternoon when he announced his commitment to Alabama.
The running back from Yulee (Fla.) High School chose the Crimson Tide over Georgia and Tennessee.
"I love the program," Henry said, according to ESPN RecruitingNation. "I love the coaches. I love coach (Nick) Saban and the rest of the coaches and the other players. I just feel like I have a chance to be very successful at that program on the field and off the field. They have been superior at my position and superior in the SEC over the last three or four years. It's looking good at Alabama and I'm just ready to get down there and get to work."
Henry's decision to attend Alabama has been met with criticism by some because of Alabama's depth at running back.
"When will Henry play?" some have asked.
The answer is next year if he's good enough. It's true Henry will face plenty of competition. If Eddie Lacy returns for his senior year next season, Henry will battle Lacy and underclassmen Dee Hart and T.J. Yeldon for snaps.
But Saban has proven the best players will play. And most five-star prospects believe they're good enough to earn playing time no matter what kind of competition they face.
Henry is the third running back to commit to Alabama's class of 2013, joining Tyren Jones from Marietta, Ga., and Altee Tenpenny from North Little Rock, Ark.

I don't know what kind of sealant they could have used that had not set or at least "skinned" over by 6 hours after applying it.
Hi all,
My plumber fitted my bath, put sealant on and half filled the bath with water to help it so that it wont split or break away when the bath gets full during use. I saw he had this full at 10am.
I've had problems with my toilet (a blockage) which was cleaned today and they tested it (after other tests!!) by emptying the bath. This was approximately 5.30pm.
I have since not refilled the bath. I touched the sealant and it was disrupted by the touch.
Is the 7-8 hours of being 1/2 filled enough to let the sealant set or should I go over to my house (I'm not staying there at the moment) and fill it up again over-night?
I don't know what kind of sealant they could have used that had not set or at least "skinned" over by 6 hours after applying it.
Somebody explain this to me... I've never heard of filling a tub with water to let a sealant set... is this somehthing new that I need to know about?
Perhaps the use of the word "sealant" instead of "caulk" is what's throwing you off, RandyJ.
No it could also be tile grout. Put water on the tub and empty it when the grout is hard so it won't crack when you begin to use the bath.
I think plumber1 is right, although if I understand it correctly, the seam between the tub and the bottom row of tile should not be grout, but an appropriate caulk. I've read that doing that (filling the tub prior to caulking) will let the caulk be basically stress-free when the tub is full, and have a little compression on it when the tub is empty. Whether it is worth the effort or not is probably a matter of opinion.
I can see how that might help since the Aquaglas eleganza's I installed the past couple of weeks were flimsy, rubbery, and warped. Until these are well supported and attached they are wiggly. Filling with water while securing or caulking definitely makes sense now to put it down just the smidged it would move when filled for a bath.
Sounds like he used a latex caulk on the drain and filled the tub.
MaccGaz, can you be more specific.
The aquaglas tubs I've installed specify latex caulk on drains as the plumber's putty can be detrimental to the plastic over time.

Eastern Michigan commit Brogan Roback played well at quarterback. He's mobile and can throw on the move. He dropped in a couple of beautiful deep balls as well. Wisconsin commit Matt Miller toughed through a knee injury. I love his toughness and football mentality. I also got to see him play center, where he's likely to play in college after playing tackle last year and he looks like a natural there. He has good technique, still needs to add some weight, but plays to the whistle. Pittsburgh commit Tony Harper is a good sized kid at receiver, but may be a college strong safety or even linebacker. He has a great frame and showed good coordination and athleticism as a wideout.
The top junior in the game was CC quarterback Deshone Kizer, who had a very nice showing. He has good size, is very smart, makes great decisions and managed the game well. He throws a great touch pass and can get the ball deep. He also showed that he can run and make plays with his feet when he needs to and validated his early Scout300 status.
Bill Greene, Ohio Recruiting Analyst
Cleveland Heights at Warren Harding
Harding won a thriller 34-28, in one of the top matchups in Ohio last weekend. For Harding, three-star safety Jalyn Powell was all over the field, as the Michigan State commit starred on both sides of the ball. Boston College commit LeShun Daniels rushed for 227-yards, and showed himself as one of the top power-running tailbacks in the state. Both were significantly improved over last year.
For Heights, four-star wide receiver Shelton Gibson (uncommitted) ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown, but rarely saw the football after that, as his team struggled in the passing game. Three-star wide receiver/linebacker De'Niro Laster (uncommitted) was solid, and showed why his recruitment now favors him on the defensive side of the football.
Senior Gerry Green has the physical size to play at the next level and showed his talents playing tight end on the night. However, Green has academic work to get done and must play with more passion as he should dominate his competition. Someone should take a chance if they can get him in their program as he's got base to work with going forward.
Junior D'Angelo Martin didn't disappoint showing good feet and the ability to go sideline to sideline and make a play. Standing just under 6-foot-2, 170-pounds, Martin showed a good back pedal and the willingness to strike.

Marquette University Libraries in collaboration with Milwaukee Public Library invite you to the second event in the five-event series "Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women."
"Louisa May Alcott Wrote That? Alcott and the Civil War"
Lecture by Prof. Angela Sorby
October 6 at 4:30 p.m.
John P. Raynor, S.J., Library Conference Center
Did Louisa May Alcott ever fully recover from the Civil War? As a nurse and a writer, she struggled to heal the physical and psychological wounds inflicted by the conflict. In this session, we will examine two Alcott texts from the Civil War era: the blackly comical Hospital Sketches and the melodramatic "My Contraband." Taken together, they represent some of the ways that the war challenged Alcott's (and the nation's) most deeply held convictions and assumptions.
Dr. Sorby (photo at right), Associate Professor of English, specializes in American poetry. She also teaches courses on Transcendentalism, the Gilded Age, and the Beats of the 1950s. Her latest book is Schoolroom Poets: Childhood, Performance, and the Place of American Poetry, 1965-1917 (2005) and she has published two collections of poems: Distance Learning (1998) and Bird Skin Coat (2009).
Resource guide: Raynor Memorial Libraries has posted an online resource guide with handy lists of library and digital books by Alcott, as well as books and websites about the author, her period, and her contemporaries. Find the resource guide here.
All members of the academic and wider Milwaukee communities are invited to this free event. Guests without Marquette IDs are advised to arrive in time to register at a table in the Raynor lobby for entrance to the library. Questions about any of the Alcott events may be addressed to Susan Hopwood, Outreach Librarian, by e-mail or phone (414) 288-5995.
Programs in this series are sponsored by the American Library Association with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
