Jack Taylor's Insane 138-point Game: Everything You Need to Know
Scoring 20 points in a college basketball game is good. Scoring 30 is really good. Scoring 138 points? That's science fiction — or at least it was until Tuesday night, when Jack Taylor of tiny Division III Grinnell College produced hands-down the most eye-popping stat line in hoops history.
Taylor's total shattered the NCAA record and immediately went viral on the social web. His name remained in Twitter's list of worldwide trends well into Wednesday afternoon, and for good reason. Taylor's stats look like something you'd only find from over-caffeinated teenagers with prodigiously dexterous thumbs playing NBA 2K13; he finished with 52 makes on 108 (108!) shot attempts, including 21 for 71 on three pointers.
To put that in perspective, Taylor played 36 minutes in the game against Faith Baptist Bible, so he scored 3.8 points per minute and took a shot every 20 seconds.
A number of NBA players were quick to congratulate Taylor via Twitter, and Mr. 138 himself appears to have set up an account to bask in the attention. Real or fake, @JT3Grinnell has picked up more than 750 followers since Tuesday evening:
@kdtrey5 KD! I heard your tweet and I had to create a twitter, thanks for the shoutout, been doing interviews all night... God is good!
— Jack Taylor (@JT3Grinnell) November 21, 2012
But not everyone online is impressed with the feat. Many sports pundits and sideline observers consider the record an irrelevant sham because it came via what the popular sports blog Deadspin called "a complete bastardization of basketball."
Confused? Grinnell has long relied on a gimmicky, high-scoring strategy designed to rack up incredible point totals and get specific players off in certain games. One of Taylor's current teammates, in fact, set a Division III scoring record just last season with 89 points in one game. That teammate took three shots Tuesday night.
For a geekily advanced statistical look at Taylor's 138-point game, check out Kevin Pelton's breakdown. For a deeper list of facts and tidbits, check out this blog post from Tyler Burns. Embedded above are a few video highlights from the game, put together by Grinnell.
Do you think Jack Taylor's record-setting night deserves the attention it's received, or is it a meaningless sham? Give us your take in the comments.

In order to fully discuss the statement given by Trevithick it is important to be aware of the history of social work
Extracts from this document...
"Social work is located within some of the most complex problems and perplexing areas of human experience, and for this reason, social work is, and has to be, a highly skilled activity." (Trevithick, 2000,p.1) Explain the meaning of this statement, and consider whether it is an adequate definition of the nature of social work. The aim of this assignment is to discuss the interpretation of the statement given above, to analyse this definition and compare it to others that are available and to conclude by discussing whether this is an adequate definition in relation to the nature of social work. In order to fully discuss the statement given by Trevithick it is important to be aware of the history of social work and to observe the changes that have occurred over the centuries. Social work was developed in the late 19th century with the implementation of the Poor Law Report; this led to the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1934. Prior to this date, Charitable Organisations looked after people who were unable to care for themselves, in partnership with the Christian church. It is questionable whether these organisations offered help and support to people in need, or whether they just hid away societies most vulnerable people to take the problem away from the public eye. In a similar way to the 19th century, social work in the 21st century offers support and guidance to vulnerable people. ...read more.
Communication is a skill in itself and it is central to the role of social work (Thompson, 2000). Communication can come in many different forms; this can include verbal, non-verbal, listening and writing skills. When practicing, social workers need to ensure that they are talking in a way that can be understood by the service user, ensuring that the service user understands what is being said. Non-verbal communication or 'body language' is also an essential skill that social workers should be aware of, the ability to read a person's body language is of utmost importance as it is often an indicator of a person's frame of mind or emotional state. Body language is a method of communication that is not usually done consciously, for example, if a service user has their arms crossed in an interview they may not realise it but they are putting a barrier up between themselves and the person they are talking to. The social worker also needs to be aware of the non-verbal signals or 'body language' that they are giving off to the service user. An example of this would be, if they were giving off signals that they are not interested then this could effect the interaction of the service user. If either of these examples occurs they could prohibit effective communication. Thompson (2000) defines communication as "a complex issue, due to the number of skills required to communicate effectively and appropriately". ...read more.
Utilising theories of human behaviour and social systems, social work intervenes at the points where people interact with their environments. Principles of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work". In conclusion it could be argued that the statement provided by Trevithick (2000) is an adequate definition of the nature of social work, as it informs the reader that social work requires a huge amount of skill and knowledge to be able to deal with the needs of individuals. However, Banks (2001) states that, "social work has always been a difficult occupation to define because it has embraced work in a number of different sectors". Because social work covers such a diverse range of the population and uses such a wide variety of methods this will make it problematic to construct a brief definition that covers all areas involved, as it also has to portray the complexity that is involved with the profession on a day to day basis. This may be why there is such a diverse range of definitions available in relation to the nature of social work. Social work is a profession that changes constantly because there is a great deal of continuous learning involved. Ideas and perspectives change all the time and although the implementation of the new degree will ensure that all social workers deliver a service to as high a standard as possible this is only achievable because of the change in standards put in place by the General Social Care Council.

The journey of ICAR-Central Institute of Temperate started in 1994 as a premier institute with its HQ at Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir and Regional Station at Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand. The institute is mandated for carrying out basic, strategic and applied research on major temperate horticultural crops besides serving as a centre for national repository of germplasm, scientific information and HRD. For carrying out R&D activities the institute was provided scientific and other auxiliary staff which is very limited and needs further strengthening for achieving goals and production targets. Institute is focusing on development of technologies, varieties, products etc and their commercialization for the benefit of farmers. However, during the last 18 years, the institute created sufficient field and laboratory infrastructure both at main campus and at Regional Station. A well planned field experimental orchard with adequate and well designed drip and sprinkler irrigation facilities have been established along with set of poly green houses, net houses and mist chambers for production of planting material and protected cultivation. The laboratories are adequately equipped with need based equipments to conduct research on plant nutrients, micro-propagation, plant pathology, entomology, post harvest technology etc and supported by ARIS, internet, library and office equipments for computerized accounting, record keeping and efficient communication. Since inception, inspite of inadequate manpower and infrastructure the institute is able to make some significant contribution particularly in genetic resource management, crop improvement and production besides quality seed and planting material production and dissemination of technologies through demonstrations and out-reach activities. At present more about 17 varieties have been released in walnut, cherry, apricot, apple and garlic which are showing promising and significant results respect to productivity and quality. Technologies developed by the Institute are being adopted by the farmers for enhancing their productivity and quality. Currently, the Institute has 2 divisions, 2 regional stations, 2 All India coordinated research projects, Network projects, with headquarters at Srinagar and regional stations at Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand and Dirang, Arunachal Pradesh. It has the sanctioned scientific staff strength of 22 along with administrative, technical and supporting staff. Institute is also supporting one KVK at district Baramulla mandated for commercialization of technologies and varieties developed in temperate horticulture. Number of programmes for human resource development and capacity building are being organized regularly on important technologies developed by the Institute. Various trainings, workshops, group meetings, field days, etc on different topics are being organized to disseminate the technologies to the farming community and other stakeholders. I sincerely hope that the knowledge and technology developed at ICAR-CITH would help the farmers of temperate region to increase the productivity and livelihood of the farmers.

It has been said that certain professors love the sound of their own voice.
It is an allegation that cannot currently be made about Graham Turner, director of research and chair of translation in the School of Management and Languages at Heriot-Watt University, who has taken a week-long vow of silence to raise awareness about the British Deaf Association's Sign Language week, which runs until Sunday.
Professor Turner is blogging about his progress, and in one post he explains the motivation behind his decision to clam up.
"The point is to express solidarity with the Deaf British Sign Language community across the UK," he writes, accusing the government of overlooking the needs of deaf people.
"The point is to say we have had it up to HERE with your disrespect for our language, your neglect of our children's rights, and your unwillingness to listen when we tell you your policies are not working."
Professor Turner is backing the demands of a BDA-backed lobby which is calling on ministers to guarantee the right for deaf people to have interpreters in healthcare settings, improve deaf people's access to work, and highlight the need for language and communication support in everyday life.
He says the deaf community wanted the right to live secure and culturally rich lives "and to pass on this heritage to deaf children – even those born into hearing families".
The week-long vow of silence is not without its challenges for an academic – even one who is fluent in sign language. A guest lecture has already been arranged to cover his teaching responsibilities, and all of his PhD supervision meetings this week will be carried out using sign language.
We called Professor Turner for a quote, but he declined to comment.

If you search Amazon with the key word "habit" the first book that comes up is the best seller The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, by Charles Duhigg.
Several years ago, based on the positive reviews, I bought the book, and hated it. I thought it was a complete waste of time. I linked to the book because my opinion is in the minority and you may profit from the information Duhigg gives.
Duhigg's has a bit of good information on how habits are formed, but didn't give very many real world actions to take other than substituting a good habit for a bad habit, such as replacing something like smoking with exercise. If you hate to exercise that's not going to work, and frankly, I consider smoking as more of an addiction and not a habit.
There's another almost 10K results on Amazon based on that search if you have the time to peruse them. Obviously, people want to change a lot of habits.
What I can offer you is years and years (about 50) of study in these fields and a simple way to help you form new habits that support the life you want to live. Because it's all about simple. My entire life I've always looked for a better, faster, and more efficient way to do any task, whether at home or at a job. One of my motto's has always been, "There must be an easier way." It's a habit of mine.
What is a Habit
A habit is nothing more than something we do routinely - usually without giving it much thought. Some habits are good in that they enrich our life, and others we call "bad" because they hinder our life fulfillment.
Some habits are what I call neutral. Having a cup of coffee first thing upon arising is neutral, neither good nor bad - unless you're allergic to coffee and drinking it may kill you, in which case it's a bad habit.
The First Habit Tracker
In 1776, Benjamin Franklin, at the age of 20, created what I think of as the first habit tracker. He listed thirteen virtues down the left side of a page and across the top of the page were the days of the week. Every day that he did not succeed in performing one of the virtues he got a little dot in the square for each time he failed. He devoted one week at a time to each of the virtues. After thirteen weeks he started over.
Tracking Positive vs Negative
While Franklin's quest for moral goodness is indeed worthy, tracking a negative rather than a positive could be counter productive. Who needs to be reminded on a daily basis all the ways they failed to live up to their expectations? I'm not discounting the value of an examination of conscience on a daily basis, but that's not the best way to form new habits.
Let's take a moment to examine a real world habit tracker and forming good habits. It's not so much about changing habits as it is forming new ones. It's simple and effective, because who has time for complicated?
Decide on a few good habits you'd like to form. I suggest no more than five. Let's say you want to read the Bible every day, write in your journal first thing in the morning, take your vitamins, go for a walk every day, and pick up your clutter.
If you scoot around the internet you'll find people wanting to list 30 or 40 habits on their tracker. DO NOT DO THAT! Good grief - it's hard enough tracking 4 or 5. After a potential habit on your tracker becomes a routine habit you can remove it and add more.
Print out a habit tracker or make your own on Excel. My husband uses this one (I love people who make free downloadable stuff for us to use.) Guys - listen up. Hubby is like most men and hates change. Yet from day one he loved the concept of a habit tracker.
I use my daily organizing journal and write in the habits next to each day with a little box that's blacked out if I succeed in performing the action.
Right now I have ⃗MP for morning pages, ⬎V for vitamins, ⬏F for fiber (not doing well with that one), ⬀TH for listening to my subliminal tapes, and ⬄ N for nap. I used to have ⬏E for giving my kitteh Erica fish oil, but removed it when I realized that forcing fish oil down the maw of an unwilling cat was not worth the trouble. It's okay to change your mind.
Try to link your new habit to a time of day. Obviously morning pages are done first thing in the morning. My vitamins are linked to breakfast, and the subliminal tapes are linked to internet perusal and post writing. I don't have picking up clutter on my tracker yet, but I'm going to add that today and probably link it to after dinner.
Breaking the Chain
Here's what's going to happen:
|Sad broken chain
As the month progresses and you're making your little x's or coloring in your squares, you will be forming a chain. Guess what? You're not going to want to break that chain. Human nature will intervene and making your little x's each day is going to bring you a dopamine hit that will make you feel super good. Who doesn't want to feel good? It won't happen immediately, but as that chain dances merrily across your page you'll be more and more unwilling to break it.
It's okay to list a bad habit that you wish to break. But it's going to be recorded as a positive. Say you want to quit swearing. For each day that you don't swear, you get to make an x. Gradually, without you even noticing it, your bad habits will be replaced with good habits.
Now isn't this simple?

Curator's Comments:
Welcome to the site! I appreciate the entirety of the work you posted here because of the proficiency in craft, but Instances most purely captures the formal pleasure of the mosaic. The individual tesserae are quite beautiful in this detail shot, and I can appreciate the nuances in opacity and color. The changing directional orientation of the squares keeps our visual interest, while the rhythm and repetition of color and shape organize the non-objective composition. I also find the piece entitled Wom (Woman) appealing. Arguably less complex than most of the religious portraiture and landscapes, the contemporary feel of the subject in an ancient medium is part of the allure. The bodily gesture is a dynamic counterpoint to the rigidity and geometry of the expanded design. The dark brown broken contour helps distinguish the figure from her ground, while the pinkish coloration provides harmony in the otherwise disparate treatment of abstract space.

'Wes's quality was there for all to see' – Canaries legend signs for Championship rivals
PUBLISHED: 17:04 14 September 2018 | UPDATED: 18:39 14 September 2018
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
Norwich City legend Wes Hoolahan has signed for West Brom on a free transfer, after persuading manager Darren Moore that his 36-year-old legs could still produce some Championship magic.
The former Republic of Ireland international scored 54 goals in 352 appearances for the Canaries between 2008 and 2018, leaving the club at the end of his contract last season.
It seemed likely the creative playmaker would head abroad but he joined the Baggies in training during the international break and has now signed a short-term deal which could be extended in January.
City have already played the Baggies at Carrow Road this season, losing 4-3 in August, but go to The Hawthorns on January 12 – so the chance of an uncomfortable reunion is still possible.
Baggies boss Moore said: "In the end, it wasn't a difficult decision because Wes's quality was there for all to see and he brings great experience and greater options to our group.
"We had a look at him over three or four days. He is a great pro and I think everyone knows the quality he possesses. He gives us more depth and fantastic experience.
"The agreement is short term but there is the potential for Wes to stay longer if things work out. I'm delighted to get him here.
"We've got seven games in 21 days in October and we are going to have to manage the squad to cope with the demands of that schedule. Every single player will be important to us."
Hoolahan was promoted to the Premier League twice as a Canaries player and played in four top-flight campaigns – leaving the club placed 22nd in the all-time appearances list.
He won City's player of the season award in 2017 and won 43 caps for Ireland, performing well and scoring at Euro 2016 before retiring after World Cup qualification slipped away in 2017.

"I know that when people hear about players arriving in their mid-30s they have a perception of that player being past their best," Moore continued, speaking to West Brom's website.
"I believe that thinking has got to change. I know what it's like to play into my mid-30s and the areas of sports science and medicine have developed even further since my day. I can tell you these guys now in their mid-30s are in great shape and can still handle the physicality.
"I've got no concerns about Wes on that score. He will get even better with game time but in terms of his general fitness he has satisfied all our demands."
Fellow Norwich legend Russell Martin has also been training with the Baggies but reports – which were accurate on Hoolahan's imminent signing – have suggested the Scotland international defender will not be joining Moore's squad.
Hoolahan was given an emotional farewell performance during the final home game of last season, starting and scoring in a 2-1 win over Leeds before leaving the pitch in tears.
West Brom face local rivals Birmingham in the Championship this season but there has been no suggestion Hoolahan will go straight into their squad.

A time to take it easy and enjoy life's natural pleasures.
I retired in 2012 from a lifetime of running my own businesses and am now sitting in a rural hillside villa overlooking the Ionian sea. It's cold and wet in winter and blisteringly hot in summer. In between these extremes my wife and I work the land and cultivate crops to sustain our frugal lifestyle. We're not big spenders; enough to live on, a few luxuries (chocolate, wine, good food, friends), and an opportunity to live closer to nature giving us that feeling of connectivity. All in all it's a pleasant existence after a lifetime of trudging through the grist mill.
Now, we look forward to time to read, write and watch Netflix (in any order) and when my books sell, we celebrate a little. The monthly royalty cheques become the high point of the month and we decide if we can afford a new chainsaw, or a strimmer, or maybe the fencing needs repairing to keep the wild goats from eating our crops. The Island suffers from poor infrastructure, so we are often without water in summer and electricity in winter, but it's getting better every year. We manage.
In summer we are surrounded by guests, friends and family who come to share the abundance of Greek hospitality, the sunshine, sea, sand, and Mediterranean lifestyle. In winter, we're hard-pressed to get out of the driveway, most places are closed. Friends live a half hour drive up hilly tracks or goat paths that are as beaten and muddy as ours and we all huddle near the open fire and read our Kindles. Our semi-wild cats decide they suddenly want to be indoors and curled up and all the other wild animals get our olive groves and land back until the Spring. The life of a writer doesn't get any better than this.
So, please enjoy my books and think of me in my Island retreat, where I use the time left to me to write what's in my head in a way that hopefully gives you back a little of what I experience - a temporary escape from the harsh reality that bears down on us from cradle to grave. ~

Buy WoW Classic Level 10 Boost
Here you can buy WoW Classic Level 10 boost for a cheap price. Our Vanilla level 10 offers come with bonuses. Buy Vanilla level 60 now.
We know that WoW Classic is well underway and is scheduled for a release date of August 27, 2019. Players who are currently playing in the beta are also erroneously reporting "bugs" that aren't really bugs. This leads to the question: are people who are diving into WoW Classic for the first time (aka those who haven't played Vanilla between 2004 and early 2007) really ready for the game? Or is the wave of nostalgia just false hope?
What made Classic so great, then, if everyone lacks the patience to attune to raids and gather resources for a greater objective? The answer is nostalgia. But there are dangers to such nostalgic feelings. One of the biggest obstacles will be to walk everywhere until Level 40. I remember being excited to ding Level 20 or even Level 30 (this was when the max level was 70) because I wanted to get on a fancy mount and go places faster.
How to buy WoW Classic level 10 boost
Once you buy Vanilla level 20 our team will contact you to proceed with delivery. Cheap classic level 20 boost and discounts are available for returning and new clients.
As previously mentioned, players were reporting bugs that weren't even bugs in the first place. One of those bugs? "Creature respawn rates are much slower than in Battle for Azeroth." You won't find people hovered around world quests trying to kill X number of enemies. You'll actually have to wait for enemies to start respawning to do a kill quest if hundreds (if not thousands) of players are funneling through The Barrens and trying to find Mankrik's wife.

"Transparency" If I may define the term for purposes of this article:
Transparency is the state of seeking to be open, candid and freely sharing about our inner world such that others will become more and more intimately acquainted with us.
Now, on the surface this may sound like a frightening concept and one that can only get in the way of being a "man in the world." Well, in some ways that makes sense. It would be foolhardy to suggest that a man ought to be in the process of sharing of their inner self with all passersby. No, transparency must be tempered with common sense as well as with discretion. No man can be or ought to be always revealing his inner self.
Now, nearly everybody would agree that men ought to be honest, candid and frank with one another but this is not so easy to pull off in the daily grind of life. One of fundamental reason for this difficulty is that "real" men don't, 'show their cards' so to speak. In a poker game you hide what's going on on the other side of those playing cards hoping to project a false or deceptive sense of what's really going on with your "hand." Even more fundamental than any difficulties we may experience in revealing ourselves in a transparent way as 'real men' let us bear in mind that we have a far more daunting and pervasive challenge.
It happened quite a few years ago in a garden; one more beautiful than any before (because there weren't any before) or since'.the garden of Eden! As the result of 'the fall' mankind broke intimacy and transparency with his Creator and had to wear a fig leaf to hide as it were, himself. This tragic occurrence has been the bane of man's existence ever since. Not only did sin sever the perfection of that closeness with God but it seriously hampered the marital (as well as all other) relationships amongst human beings. (Fortunately, our Lord still knows us totally, intimately and perfectly.)
Many men who struggle with sexual purity will have a strong tendency to be anything but transparent. That is, they will probably increasingly feel the need to hide who they are as they become more and more given to the clandestine and become engulfed in the shame that attends to this situation. Further, this man may likely turn more and more to the object of his affection (porn, affairs, etc) which increases the shame, hiding (non-transparency) and may ultimately lead to (sexual) or other addictions.
So, what does the idea of transparency really have to do with the 'battle?" Well, for those of you who are concerned that you may need the type of assistance given at the Every Man's Battle Workshop let me note a few things' When we seek to change the problems associated with sexual impurity and sexual acting out by entering the recovery process, we will find that those who have successfully established themselves in their recovery will be individuals who are, well, transparent. You will notice that they practice honesty and candor. That is, you will observe that they will talk about themselves; more specifically, they will regularly speak about their inner-world; their shortcomings, their joys and concerns, their fears and victories. They will demonstrate to their world that they know that they have nothing to hide. They are no longer living "the lie," and don't have a need to expend the energy to cloak themselves and hide from others.
The lifeline of transparency will connect a man to his inner world, which will allow and enable him to connect with his Lord and with other people more deeply and personally. The essence of this whole process finds its home in the well-known process of living a transformed life, which as Christians know, is an ongoing, life-long process. The process of living a transformed life involves a daily, life-long cooperation with the work of the Holy Spirit as we become changed inwardly.
In summation, I believe that we ought to consider that in order to be a man who is going to be true, connected, healed and healthy, we do well to take seriously the idea of setting up a process that allows for others to "take a look" at our inner world. This process occurs naturally as an outgrowth of the process of recovery/transformation. The man who can strive for and begin to achieve the transparent lifestyle is the man who is on the way to being restored to what our Lord originally intended him to be.

Roths Wine Bar
This week I took a photo of the beautiful heritage listed front facade of Roth's Wine Bar, built in 1923.
The old crackled paint texture was fascinating to photograph. I decided on a night shot as the warm glow of light behind the glass, combined with the aged windows, really set a tone of yesteryear.

Cheers to M.C. Gainey for going out with a bang on Justified. The intimidating character actor best known as the ironically named Tom Friendly on Lost (and for his own flash-Sideways as the angry naked biker in Alexander Payne's 2004 film) loomed over the first season of FX's Elmore Leonard drama as backwoods crime-family patriarch Bo Crowder. In the shoot-'em-up's aptly titled finale, "Bulletville," Bo took a fatal slug to the chest from Miami drug thugs angry that his born-again son Boyd (Walton Goggins) had blown up their shipment of ephedrine. But before that, he went down in a blaze of ingloriousness, ordering his nephew (whom he later blew away) to rough up Boyd, killing and literally stringing up Boyd's encampment of followers and kidnapping his ex-daughter-in-law. Suffice it to say Justified's Season 2 Big Bad has some mighty large boots to fill.
Do you think M.C. Gainey's a major loss for Justified?

A poem from Iran: Al Ahwaz, it shall be free
There comes a day when death is upon us.
There is an hour when a man is hung.
There is a second when a child is born.
A Child begs his brother to not step out of the door.
A mother screams with pain from the torture and hate.
A young girl asks to see her father again.
He was never alive.
A voiceless voice shall be heard,
A mother shall see her son again.
A daughter or son will be free,
Yet the country shall not be.
His son falls to tears, holding him tight,
Asking and begging not to risk another heartbeat.
He steps out and disappears,
not days, not weeks, not months, but years,
A letter is sent, and it is read,
and there was another heart that had been dead.
A land. AL Ahwaz, it shall be free.

Although the University of Louisville may have left the Kentucky State Fair and Exposition Center's Freedom Hall for their new downtown arena, there are still some traditions that don't seem primed to leave the fairgrounds anytime soon. At the top of that list are the Kentucky State Fair and its free concerts held annually in old Cardinal Stadium. This week, the Fair Board announced the list of acts that make up this year's line-up of shows which run from August 19-August 28. All concerts start at 8:00 P.M. and are complimentary with paid admission to the fair.
Opening night August 19 will feature Joan Jett, who has recently regained notoriety thanks to the film The Runaways, which is based on her band of the same name that she founded when she was all of 15. Of course, I'd be remiss not to mention her signature song I Love Rock and Roll, which always seemed like it was "borrowed" by Def Leppard for Pour Some Sugar on Me. But Jett also had eight other top 40 singles in the US, so she wasn't a one-hit wonder.
Friday August 20 will feature M.C. Hammer. Seriously, this is no misprint. The former Oakland A's batboy, who was a ubiquitous pop culture figure nearly two decades ago, will return to our local stage. For those in attendance, parachute pants are optional. All jokes aside, his album Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em was the first rap album to hit #1 on the US pop charts. The entrepreneur, preacher, and reality TV personality, still takes the stage now and again, and the fair will be one of those times.
Saturday August 21 is unofficially Big Hair Night at the fair - but in a lot of ways, isn't every night Big Hair Night at the fair? Jackyl and Slaughter will be performing their hard rock anthems and representing the slew of late 80s and early 90s hair bands that boasted only one name: Anthrax, Autograph, Cinderella, Krokus, et al. For Generation X-ers who graduated high school between 1988-1992, this show may be of particular interest.
What would a Kentucky State Fair be without the Oak Ridge Boys? They are fair stalwarts, as expected by visitors as Freddy Farm Bureau, black concert t-shirts, and the midway itself. But there's a reason they keep getting invited back, and it's no coincidence, either. They are fan favorites. In what will be their 34th consecutive fair appearance on Sunday August 22, the crowd-pleasing country band is supporting their latest release The Boys are Back that features a version of The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army. It's always been a small miracle that Oak Ridge Boy William Lee Golden never has gotten an elephant ear stuck in his ample beard during their stop at the fair. Popular bluegrass band The Grascals are the opening act.
Monday August 23 will feature MercyMe. Probably best known for their crossover single I Can Only Imagine, they are also one of Contemporary Christian's most respected bands, and they have albums like Almost There to back it up. Fellow Christian singer Francesca Battistelli will open the show.
The highlight of the series may be Tuesday's night Charlie Daniels show with opening act The Kentucky Headhunters. There's something hard not to like about Daniels, who lacks all the pretense of some other music stars. Plus, when you have a thirty-plus years of a catalog to choose from, it makes for no shortage of set list possibilities. Hopefully, The South's Gonna Do It Again will be included, really one of the fine singles of the 70s. Bluegrass natives The Kentucky Headhunters will no doubt play their most well known song Dumas Walker.
Wednesday's show is billed as the Endless Summer Beach Party. It features Al Jardine of Beach Boys' fame, Dean Torrence from Jan and Dean, and Gary Puckett from Union Gap. In addition, Louisville's own Monarchs, who have been entertaining local crowds for almost half a century, will also perform. Hopefully Jardine will do a version of Beach Boys' classics like I Know There's An Answer or Surf's Up and not visit the dreaded Kokomo.
Jake Owen with special guest The Eli Young Band will perform on Thursday, August 26. For fans of new country music, this may be one of the fair's most anticipated shows - free or otherwise. Owen has had hits with Startin' With Me and the 80s Dream Academy song Life in a Northern Town, which he covered with Sugarland and Little Big Town and was recorded live. Mike Eli and James Young formed The Eli Young Band at the University of North Texas - the same school that produced Norah Jones. They were recently nominated for Top New Vocal Group at the 2010 American Country Music Awards.
Edmonton, Kentucky, natives Black Stone Cherry will play Friday night August 27 with special guests Default and Cavo. These hard rockers recently toured with AC/DC, and they will play songs from their two studio albums. The Canadian band, Default, will open along with Cavo, who had a song in the film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen last summer.
The last free show will be Saturday August 28 featuring Billy Currington and special guest The Band Perry, a young sibling group who has charted a couple country hits in the past year. Followers of mainstream country are well aware of Currington whose last three albums have produced four #1 singles, including Must Be Doing Something Right and People Are Crazy.
The 106th Kentucky State Fair will be held August 19-29 at the Kentucky Exposition Center. In addition to the free concerts, chances are good that in either the East or South wing you can also pick up a gratis John Belski mask/fan from the WAVE 3 booth.

Respectably Queer
Diversity Culture in LGBT Activist Organizations
Author(s): Jane Ward
For three years the author did participant-observation at three nationally prominent queer organizations in Los Angeles-Christopher Street West, which produces L.A.'s queer pride festival; the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, a 37-year-old multi-site organization; and Bienestar, an HIV services organization for gay Latinos. Ward documents the evolution of these organizations, including class and race conflicts within them, but she especially focuses on the misuses of diversity culture.
Respectably Queer reveals how neoliberal ideas about difference are becoming embedded in the daily life of a progressive movement and producing frequent conflicts over the meaning of "diversity." The author shows how queer activists are learning from the corporate model to leverage their differences to compete with other non-profit groups, enhance their public reputation or moral standing, and establish their diversity-related expertise. Ward argues that this instrumentalization of diversity has increased the demand for predictable and easily measurable forms of difference, a trend at odds with queer resistance.
Ward traces the standoff between the respectable world of "diversity awareness" and the often vulgar, sexualized, and historically unprofessional world of queer pride festivals. She spotlights dissenting voices in a queer organization where diversity has become synonymous with tedious and superficial workplace training. And she shows how activists fight back when prevailing diversity discourses-the ones that "diverse" people are compelled to use in order to receive funding-simply don't fit.
Biography of Author(s)Jane Ward is Assistant Professor of Women's Studies at UC Riverside.
- This study will be immensely helpful to both scholars and activists who want to learn about the shaping of LGBT issues by the nonprofit industrial complex.
--Gender & Society
- This is an important book. Ward shows how managing diversity in the LGBT non-profit sector mirrors the corporate sector's management of diversity: representing identity differences has become instrumental, not an ethic or end in itself. Her nuanced and complex case studies demonstrate how difference is contained and domesticated, and provide empirical grounding for the larger theoretical claims about the effects of neo-liberal apolitical discourses of diversity, the current funder-directed state of the LGBT social movement, and the importance of documenting ways to resist corporate diversity-speak.

Forecasters employ new technology to get jump on hurricanes
August 22, 1999
From Correspondent Rick Lockridge
(CNN) -- New technology is helping forecasters better understand and predict hurricanes -- but these monster storms can still surprise even the experts.
Satellite imaging has given scientists a much better picture of how hurricanes work and what makes them grow stronger or weaker. But predicting which way the zig-zaggedy storms will move next remains an inexact science.
"It's like sampling public opinion," says Jerry Jerrell, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. "You have to know where to go, what's representative. You wouldn't just go into one neighborhood and talk to everybody there, because you may find a very skewed picture of public opinion."
Recent additions to the tool kits of hurricane forecasters should help them cover all the "neighborhoods" and provide earlier warning to those in the path of a storm.
This summer, NASA launched the $98 million Quick Scatterometer, or Quick-Scat, satellite, an orbiting gauge of ocean winds.
QuickScat and other Earth-observing satellites are helping hurricane forecasters by gathering data on phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña and by measuring the strength and composition of Atlantic storms.
Meanwhile, a new network of weather computers should help the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, improve the accuracy of its hurricane forecasts.
The Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System, a nationwide network of powerful new computers, will allow more sharing of weather data than has been possible in the past.
That includes data from the famous hurricane hunters, the Biloxi-based Air Force reservists who fly round-the-clock missions through the eyes of Atlantic hurricanes, taking measurements that can only be gathered in the center of each storm.
Hurricane forecasters are anticipating a busier-than-average season, predicting that three major storms will make landfall instead of the usual one or two.

This weekend marks Jurgen Klopp's one-year anniversary as Liverpool boss.
It's impossible to deny how far we have come. At the end of the Rodgers reign we looked short of goals, ideas, and confidence. Since then we have been to two cup finals and started this season like a rocket.
We've enjoyed our best goal-scoring start to a season in more than a century, and have scored more goals in the league than anyone else since January 1st, 2016.
A look at the rolling 12-month Premier League table reveals how close we now are to the other leading sides in the country.
Beckham or Gerrard? Debate rages!
The difference between English and German refs
Clyne on Milner form
If the league started last October and ended today, Spurs would be the champions with 74 points – but we wouldn't be far behind.
According to the Echo, we have amassed 64 points in the last 12 months. Considering we didn't really click under Klopp until the spring, it's mightily impressive.

Computer work is a must, along with the seemingly endless paperwork that comes with having a business, even as small as mine!
Today I entered 45 email addresses, made a list of inquiries for products, logged in my expenses, miles, deposited a check (yay!), added a new show to the website, and new products. And I thought Retirement would be boring....... LOVE it! Especially those after lunch power naps!
This little coffee mug design came to me as I watched the sun rise a few weeks ago. The merry eyes on the sun peeking over the clouds - sets the tone for the day!
On my work table are 15 rocks to be painted, 2 new wineglass designs, 3 red ceramic tiles for Chinese symbols, & my mini canvases of Love, Peace, Hope and Faith.
Tidying up my messy desk, listing tomorrow's tasks - getting ready for Fort Worth Fire Beats on Thursday!!!!

« Beyond Pre-K: District of Columbia-Area Foundation Aids Infants and Toddlers | Main | Far More California Children Than Preschool Spots, Research Finds »
State Schools' Chiefs Issue Guidelines for High-Quality Preschool
It's not exactly a new idea to publish a list of things that make for a great early-education program (in fact, it's quite popular right now). But the list released by the Council of Chief State School Officers on March 24 is notable because the association's members have real control over the direction of the many new and evolving state preschool programs out there.
1. Engage families and communities in early learning,
2. Connect early-childhood programs and elementary schools,
3. Accelerate improvement and innovation in early-childhood programs,
4. Build a high-performing early-childhood workforce,
5. Increase investment to provide quality, voluntary early-childhood education for all children.
If several of those sound very familiar, you've been paying attention to this blog. It's interesting, though, that setting a curriculum, creating learning standards, and establishing a mechanism for program evaluation are not included in this list. In part, that's probably because the report lists several steps towards having high-quality programs, including creating Quality Rating and Improvement Systems, among its members' established accomplishments.
The report also notes that state leaders have increased preschool funding by $1 billion since 2009, when a similar report was last released.
Creating useful rating systems of both programs and students also is covered in the section on accelerating improvement in early-childhood programs. "Poor-quality programs can have a detrimental effect on children's learning or at best, make no positive impact on their readiness for school," notes the report. Alabama, Kentucky, and Louisiana are listed as examples of states that are pushing for high quality well.
Perhaps the most interesting item on the list, however, is the one calling for state chiefs to "increase investment." In the more detailed explanation of that priority, the report calls for chiefs to work toward increasing direct funding for early education, but also to raise private funds through public-private partnerships or tax credits.
It's interesting because it's so practical, which is not always common on these types of lists. But without the money to rent or build facilities and hire and support teachers, the rest of this list (and all the others) is rather a moot point.

(Thomas L. Midgyette booking photo)
Earlier this year the Livingston County Sheriff's Office discovered information of a Livingston County resident with an out of state sex offense conviction. Our investigation resulted in the arrest and now conviction of Thomas Leon Midgyette, 57, Chillicothe for the felony violation of Failing to Register as a Sex Offender.
Mr. Midgyette was sentenced in Livingston County Circuit Court on June 14, 2016 and received a maximum 4-year sentence with a Suspended Execution of Sentence and placed on probation for 5-years.
Mr. Midgyette was released from Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail and is now in compliance with his registration requirements under Missouri law.
Mr. Midgyette was convicted in 1992 in the State of New Mexico for a sex offense with an 11-year-old child.
This case was investigated by Deputy Ryan Ford, prosecuted by Adam Warren, and heard by Presiding Circuit Judge Thomas N. Chapman.
The LCSO takes our responsibilities in supervising sex offenders seriously. If you have any information that someone is not registering as required or violating their registration, please contact us at 660-646-0515 or submit a TIP through our website at www.livcoso.org. You may also view all registered offenders in Livingston County on the same website or access Mr. Midgyette's direct link here:
