Former Ga. Rep. Bo Callaway dies at 86
Howard "Bo" Callaway Sr., a former Georgia congressman, Army secretary and one of the founders of Callaway Gardens, died Saturday. He was 86.
Callaway died at an assisted-living facility in Columbus from complications from a brain hemorrhage he suffered about two years ago, said Rachel Crumbley, a Callaway Gardens spokeswoman.
His son Edward said in a statement that his family and the gardens family will miss him deeply.
"While he may be gone in body, as a founder of Callaway Gardens with my grandparents, his spirit will live on in his love of and vision for Callaway Gardens," Callaway's son said.
Callaway was elected to Congress in 1964, becoming the first Republican congressman from Georgia since Reconstruction. He left Congress to run for governor in 1966. Callaway actually received 3,000 more votes than the Democratic nominee, segregationist Lester Maddox, but because former Gov. Ellis Arnall mounted a write-in campaign, no candidate received the majority needed to win.
State law at the time did not allow for a general election runoff and instead, the Legislature was allowed to choose the next governor, and the Democratic-controlled body backed Maddox.
Although he lost, he inspired a generation of young Republicans, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Georgia House Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, was 12 in 1966 and told the newspaper he remembered even then the impact Callaway had.
"I grew up in a family of Republicans and Bo Callaway was what we had been waiting for," Ralston said. "I was in elementary school and I had my Blue Horse notebook and I had a `Go Bo' sticker. And I remember being very proud."
In 1973, he was appointed Secretary of the Army. From 1970 until 2003, he was the principal owner and CEO of Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado. In 1980, he unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. Senate in Colorado and he was chairman of the state Republican Party there from 1981 until 1987.
Callaway was born in LaGrange, Ga. He attended the Georgia Institute of Technology before leaving to become a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He graduated in 1949 with a military engineering degree.
During his military career, Callaway served as a lieutenant. He was a platoon leader in Korea and a tactics instructor at Fort Benning. Callaway ended his military service in 1953 to return home and help his father develop and manage Callaway Gardens, a 6,500 acre garden and resort in Pine Mountain.
Callaway was a rabid baseball fan and his boat, the O Be Joyful, was a favorite pastime and one that he relished sharing with his family.
In celebration of Callaway's life, a memorial organ concert will be held Wednesday at the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel at Callaway Gardens.

By Bob Livingston • Jan 19th, 2009 • Category: Bob Livingston, Health, Personal Liberty Articles
"This month's big news is Professor Cedric Garland's paper on cancer and vitamin D. Is vitamin D a cancer crusher? Dr. Garland and six other experts reviewed all the studies in the literature and concluded that up to 50 percent of all cancer could be prevented by adequate Vitamin D nutrition." From: American Journal of Public Health.
Today, it is well established that besides playing a crucial role in the establishment and maintenance of the calcium in the body, vitamin D also acts as an effective regulator of cell growth and differentiation that is specific to cancer.
Clinical studies now show that vitamin D deficiency is associated with four of the most common cancers:
DiabetesVitamin D deficiency has been associated with insulin deficiency and insulin resistance. It was shown in 2005 that vitamin D deficiency is likely the major factor for the development of diabetes in children.
Heart Disease and Vitamin DAs in diabetes, insulin resistance is one of the major factors in heart disease. Well, northern countries have higher levels of heart attacks in the winter months when there is no vitamin D from sunshine. How simple to take vitamin D supplements—dirt cheap!
SkinThe health news of the century: Dermatologists have made mega-dollars for years with graphic scares about skin cancer caused by sunshine. Of course they don't know about colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and 25 other internal cancers caused by sunlight deprivation. Think what enormous damage and death the sunscreen purveyors and users have caused.
Over age 50?Scientific evidence proves that vitamin D improves neuromuscular performance in older people. It improves everything like better body balance, fewer hip fractures and even hair growth. It makes natural antibiotics that humans rely on to fight infection. There is a very positive connection between multiple sclerosis and vitamin D.
And now I reveal the secret of vitamin D and you can say that you have been told. Here it is: We do not get nearly enough vitamin D. We need 10 times as much as the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) and that is up to 4,000 to 10,000 units daily.
My friends, if you have any health concerns related to the above, get in touch with The Vitamin D Council: Find The Vitamin D Newsletter on the Internet at www.vitamindcouncil.org.

Spacious Rooms Two Blocks from Niagara Falls
Every night, giant spotlights placed behind the Canadian side of Niagara Falls bathe the cascading water in a rainbow of colors. The sight is arresting as well as romantic—it's one of the reasons Niagara Falls is one of the top honeymoon and vacation destinations in the world. The Ramada Niagara Falls stands just two blocks away, in the heart of the tourist district.
From the recently renovated hotel, you can walk over to the falls or take the WEGO citywide transportation system, which stops right out front and travels to nearby attractions. At night, hop aboard to head over to The Keg Steakhouse & Bar and use your included C$40 dining credit on menu items such as filet mignon and teriyaki sirloin. The view from The Keg is stunning—floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the restaurant, showcasing an unobstructed falls panorama.
After dinner, you can visit Dave & Buster's (one of this Getaway's options includes a C$25 gaming credit) to play arcade games and laser tag in one of the largest midways in Niagara Falls. Every morning, breakfast is served at the Ramada's onsite IHOP restaurant.
Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks
At Niagara Falls—considered by many to be one of the world's seven natural wonders—water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, with segments located in both New York and Ontario, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of Niagara Falls' photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.
Journey Behind the Falls grants year-round glimpses behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—board an elevator to descend 150 feet into the bedrock, and then stand at an observation deck steps away from the cascading water. A 10-minute walk will bring you to the flashy Clifton Hill neighborhood. Along Fallsview Boulevard you'll find plenty of Vegas-style kitsch, including glitzy casinos, indoor water parks, and soggy Elvis impersonators.

•Exam Schedule. The final exam schedule for the current semester is available here. You will be notified of the classroom assignments for your exams prior to the start of exam period.
•Availability of Professors' Old Exams. Many professors make their old exams available for students to review. Exams after 1992 are available online by going to http://library.kentlaw.iit.edu/Courses/index.htm and clicking on the Exam Database link on the right side of the screen. Exams dating from 1992 and before are bound in volumes available in the 10th floor reading room in the Library.
•Exam Emergencies. If an emergency occurs that may prevent you from taking a final exam, you or someone on your behalf should call me (312/906-5282) or Jenna Abhijeet (312/906-5005) as soon as possible. If you cannot reach either of us, call the Registrar's office (312/906-5080). Do not contact your professor about any problem connected with your exam, as this may compromise your anonymity. Please read Section VII of the Student Handbook, which contains the rules governing exams, exam conflicts, make-up exams, missed exams, and related issues; and review Article II of the Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook.
•Consulting Laptops During Exams. Unless your professor specifically authorizes it, you may not consult materials (notes, outlines, etc.) stored on your laptop computer during an open book or limited open book exam; you are limited to consulting print materials authorized by your professor. Please note: This is separate from the issue of whether you may write your exam on your own laptop. The limitation described above applies whether you are writing your exam by hand or on a lab or laptop computer.
•Cell Phones During Exams. You are not permitted to use a cell phone during any exam, including during any restroom breaks. If you have a cell phone with you during an exam, it must be turned off and stored out of sight.
•Access to Computer Labs During Exams. Because we use the computer labs during many of the exam slots during exam period, access for other purposes (e.g., printing out papers or exam outlines) is limited. Please keep in mind that there is a printer in the 5th Floor Student Lounge that you can use if the labs are all in use.
•Exam Method Notices.
Notice about SofTest: Students taking exams on laptop must download and install the SofTest exam-taking program. The Computer Center has emailed information to all students about the procedures for doing this. You may also find this information at http://www.kentlaw.edu/clc/exams/instructions.shtml. Even though you do not need to submit an Exam Method Registration form to use your laptop for exams, you do need to download and install SofTest. In addition, you must download the new version of SofTest even if you have an older version from a prior semester. You cannot use older versions of the program - you must have the new version of SofTest.
Unless a professor specifies otherwise, SofTest is configured to lock students out of other programs and services on their computers for the duration of the exam. This means that, unless a professor specifically authorizes access, students will not have access to notes, outlines, or other materials stored on their hard drive or the network.
Notice About Borrowing Laptops from the Computer Center: The Computer Center has a limited supply of laptop computers reserved for use in emergency situations that arise during exam period.

Mushkin Ascent XP3 16000 2 x 1 GB Review
DDR3 memory is moving closer and closer to the mainstream marketplace. Prices are falling and speeds are on the rise. With each new performance motherboard chipset delivered by the manufacturers, the speed threshold continues to increase in a self perpetuating cycle. What that means, of course, for the power user, is that performance continues to increase as new hardware is made available. Unfortunately, one of the means for increasing that performance comes with the added cost of a higher power requirement to make the memory perform as advertised. Performance DDR3 modules voltage demands are now pushing into the 1.9 to 2.0 volt range; quite an increase from the JEDEC spec of 1.5 volts. Along side the increase in voltage requirements comes the increase in the thermal load on the memory ICs. Essentially, more power equals more heat. It's the transference of energy from one medium to another. Heat can and will kill your memory modules, I've had it happen first hand. What is needed is a means to dissipate that heat or thermal load. There have been many different heatspreader designs over the years that have met with mixed success rates. Mushkin has the Frostbyte technology, Patriot has the Viper Fin design, Corsair and other have thier own designs, and each have their merits.
With the release of the Ascent XP3 16000 series of modules, Mushkin has pushed to the forefront with another method of cooling the memory modules. Sure there is a heatspreader, but it's what lies just beneath the black heatspreader that makes the difference in this case. The Ascent modules are cooled with a technology developed by Celsia technologies, called eVCI (enhanced Vapor Chamber Interface). In a few word, this nanospreader design is a two-phase vapor chamber cooling system. Celsia describes it best, "A NanoSpreader™ is a patented copper encased two-phase vapor chamber into which pure water is vacuum sealed. The liquid is absorbed by a copper-mesh wick and passed as vapor through a micro-perforated copper sheet where it cools and returns as liquid to the wick."
Just how will this technology help cool modules designed to run at 1.9 to 2.0 volts? Will the nanospreaders do the job and keep the modules cool and operating as they should? Is this just another example of "getting more"? Let's find out!
Closer Look:
The Mushkin Ascent XP3 16000 come in the standard retail clamshell packaging that Mushkin has used. The simple understated look that says I don't need the flash. The Mushkin product card carries the "Get More" slogan, as well as the brand name on the front side, and features a brief installation and troubleshooting guide on the back. The product code for this set of modules is 996620, and it is a 2 x 1 gigabyte set of modules.
The XP3 16000 modules are designed to use 1.9 to 2.0 volts and run at an amazing 1000MHz with latencies of 9-9-9-24. Of course, a board using the 790i Nvidia chipset is reccomended. You will notice the design of the heatsinks are a radical departure from the Frostbyte technology that Mushkin has used for quite some time. The modules feature a finned heatsink that uses additional ribbing on the sides of the modules to increase the surface area, leading to additional cooling capacity.
The heatspreader design uses a thick aluminum outer shield that has fins across the top of the modules to dissipate the heat load into the air stream over the modules. The nanospreaders can be seen under the aluminum shields. These nanospreaders are in contact with the memory ICs to provide a path for the heat to reach the outer shields to be dissipated.
Here is a quick shot of how the Celsia nanospreader technology works. It looks pretty interesting as the spreader makes contact with the heat source (memory IC's) and disapates it into the finned outer shield. This provides a wider heat path to the dissipation point than a heatpipe solution. Therefore, you have a much more even distibution of the heat load, making the components run cooler across the whole face of the design.

Tea stencil - help!
buzzed off his mane to give me a chance to deal with some bad dandruff, then as it grows I can easily keep it trimmed to a cute 1.5" mohawk http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/266848_471141302937847_1520414442_o.jpg
This is probably my WORST clip EVER, but he's not a show horse, so the functionality of it is way more important than the looks. This side has the shamrock, it's wonky because I had to make it cover the failed teapot. http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/135244_471141712937806_177429083_o.jpg
here's the heart side. it gives a better view of the full clip. What I had planed to do was shave his whole belly, up his sides about 6", shave his neck, and then leave a "blanket" of hair over his back/rump, and then shave the teapot/teacup out of his bum hair. What I ended up doing because he was soggy was a modified "Irish" clip, where it takes off the neck hair and tummy hair, but leaves the sides completely hairy. It's not as pretty as I was planning, but working with a crappy clipper blade, on a wet horse, with a limited amount of time before the sedation wore off, I'm pleased. http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/134226_471142159604428_229103428_o.jpg
and finally, here you can see that I shaved his chest/throat too, right into his armpits, and then I shaved his belly hair all the way back and then up his "bum crack" to take off as much of the hair that gets sweaty as I could. The tummy is VERY rough, because of how wet he was it was impossible to make it as smooth as it should have been. I'll do better next year. http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/680405_471143042937673_828149332_o.jpg
What a lovely horsie! I'd love to meet him someday! I just love the idea of a tea drinking horse. :)
He has a good neck for a roached mane.
The roached mane is infinitely more flattering than the super heavy mane he had when I first got him. I plan to let it grow out JUST enough to give him a touch of mane, but not so much that it changes the shape of his topline too much. That, and having a super short mane will make his pathetic forelock look bigger!

Cool Hand Luke (US - BD)
Reviewer Marcus Doidge wishes he was as cool as Cool Hand Luke on BD
'What we got here is... failure to communicate'
Pal Newman plays Luke, who after getting caught cutting the heads off of parking meters whilst drunk, ends up in a Florida prison camp serving two years. Spending much of their time doing manual labour such as cutting weeds, digging mud and laying roads, Luke soon gains the respect and friendship of the rest of the group, including top dog of the camp, Dragline (George Kennedy).
Earning the nickname Cool Hand Luke, for his card playing demeanour, Luke's attitude and resistance to conform to the world around him soon has the other prisoners idolizing him. Never giving up in a fight, exceeding 'The Boss'' expectations, eating fifty hard boiled eggs in an hour and successfully escaping the prison on a number of occasions just because he was told not to, soon makes him something of a legend within the prison walls. However, because of Luke's unwavering persistence to show that he can leave whenever he wants, he becomes the icon the prison bosses need to beat down, to show the other prisoners that their control over the camp can break even the strongest of spirits.
Cool Hand Luke is, well... cool. The phrase 'they don't make them like this anymore' is one that gets thrown around a lot but it has to be said, they really don't make them like this anymore. Those movies about the outsider who refuses to conform, but who at the same time is flawed and vulnerable and totally a character we can all aspire to be came from an era in cinema that just ate this sort of subject up and it seemed to have its peak in the late sixties and into the seventies. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest being one that's very much akin to Cool Hand Luke and one of the few modern examples where this worked almost as well, being Tigerland.
Newman's Luke is a hero for the everyman; he refuses to just fit into the box he's been allocated in life, but at the same time there's a real sense that he's disenchanted with life generally. He's not a criminal, despite being in prison, he just seems to have seen through the thin veil of how we're told to live our lives and is just living it his own way. There are no boundaries for Luke, he doesn't live within the confines of society like the rest of the world does, and he doesn't stand in line unless standing in line is what he wants to do. Countering this though, Luke is not the classic 'rebel' either. He's not arrogant; he's not trying to make people follow him or claiming that his way is the right way. In fact, he's almost a lost soul. Despite being idolized by the inmates around him, he doesn't seem happy with his life. In fact there seems to be a real sense of melancholy about him that suggests he almost wishes that he was like everybody else, but just can't be that way.
I guess this is why there's a section of the movie's audience who see this as a modern day Christ story and in all honesty I can see what they mean. Luke has his disciples and he remains persistent despite the men in charge bearing down on him because of his iconic status. There's the iconic image of Luke laid out on the table after eating the last of the fifty boiled eggs where he looks exactly like Jesus on the cross, which is by no means unintentional. He refers to God as 'old man' in an almost 'Son talking to his Father way' and the list of similarities could go on if you look hard enough. It's certainly an angle that you could go with but at the same time Luke is very much just the classic image of what the flawed hero is and you respond to him no matter what beliefs you may have.
All of this is what makes Cool Hand Luke such a great movie, mainly because none of this is spelt out to its audience. The story unravels at its own pace and you are really allowed to discover Luke and the inmates around him on your own terms. The director, Stuart Rosenberg, has enough respect for the screenplay that he just lets the story tell itself by just keeping a steady hand over the scenes that set up Luke and his inmate friends motivations and it's refreshingly well handled.
Made in 1967, this is the oldest colour movie I own on Blu-ray and deep down I was almost hoping that it would be disappointing and avoid me getting too caught up on upgrading older movies I already own onto Blu-ray. Well, Cool Hand Luke totally blew that theory out of the water. It looks glorious. All of the chain gang scenes in the hot midday sun have a golden glow and it just looks incredible. Details on the men's sweaty faces and bodies are incredibly high, considering the age of the movie and add to that the level of detail in the wide open surroundings is all jaw dropping stuff and one hell of a nod to its restoration.
There was very little about the image that I could find at fault outside of what was inbuilt to the movies era. I didn't notice any surface marks or dirt, yet it never feels too clean, if that makes any sense. It respectfully still feels of its time, as all of these classics should and there's a real sense that nothing has been tampered with, just cleaned up and enhanced for our HD viewing pleasure.
Even though this is only presented in Dolby Digital 1.0 it has to be said that I didn't notice its limitations at all. The movie doesn't call for grand scale surround shenanigans really and everything that's within the mix is clear and strong. It has the slight air of 60s sound recording but like I've said in previous reviews of older movies, it just wouldn't be the same without it.
There's a short and sweet documentary 'Natural Born World Shaker' (28:46) that covers a few stories from the director and the screenwriter as well as some selected cast, though sadly no input from Newman. This is real AFI documentary-esq stuff but still a nice companion piece that has become the norm with these Warner classics.
The commentary by Eric Lax, who is a Paul Newman Biographer, is a joy. The guy has a voice you could listen to all day and he's packed with detail about the movie, the story behind the movie and even specific details about Florida inmates and how their day to day lives worked within the realms of what's seen in the movie.
Also included is the original trailer, which is as weird as abstract as many of the 60s trailers were.
Oh and on a side note, whilst not exactly an extra feature, I wanted to mention how great the box art against the blue Blu-ray box is for this release. It's a fine choice for a cover and with the shiny Warner Bros 85 Years anniversary sticker as well, it really makes it feel like a great little release. Maybe a strange thing to mention, but what with everything going download now-a-days and movie covers generally sucking, I wanted to take the time to celebrate someone getting it right. A round of applause for Warner Bros.
Cool Hand Luke is very deserving of its praise. Newman's Luke is a character to believe in as much as his fellow inmates did. The movie has a timeless feel that feels as relevant now as it did then and it's good to see that it's been treated so well on this HD release. Well worth your time and money.

I already miss him, his an Icon, one of my idols he was s great man, the history will never forget him, the cameras will wish he didn't died, but this is life every one will die on this planet, by the way great great movie, great performance by Mr. Newman.
Seriously. RIP.
R.I.P. Mr. Newman.
i wish i had a blu-ray player.
i loooooove this film.
i loooooove this film.
Great movie, just saw this about Feb 08, thought I would be bored but, Newmans charm comes through. If you have not seen the movie, please don't miss it.
This is one that has always escaped me, but I've always wanted to see. I'll probably end up blind buying this. Great review!
While I probably will get this, I must say that I prefer The Hustler. I saw both when I was a kid and thought he was much "cooler" in that. But I agree that this blu ray is a must.

MOSCOW (AP) Organizers insist Russia's first Formula One Grand Prix will go ahead as planned despite an airliner being shot down in the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine.
Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed Thursday in eastern Ukraine. All 298 people on board are believed to have been killed.
Ukraine accused pro-Russian separatists of shooting the plane down, something the rebels deny.
The promoters of the Oct. 12 Russian Grand Prix in Sochi told The Associated Press in a statement Friday that ''all the preparations are on track and run according to the schedule,'' and that ''organisers are confident that the inaugural Russian Grand Prix will be comfortable for all.''
Sochi's Olympic Park circuit is located in southern Russia, around 540 kilometers (335 miles) from the crash site.

Go to Laurel Valley Plantation, and hear spirits talk about a murder that took place in the old slave quarters. Listen to intelligent spirits speak to Stanley from Las Vegas and the Mojave Desert to the ruins of Pompeii and the foothills of Delos, Greece.

You will never feel alone again, once you read these true, captivating, first hand interactions with the spirit world.

Twelve Things I Know
1. Writing a book is totally overwhelming.
2. I have a great story.
3. I am committed to it.
4. I have more research to do.
5. I've found my writing style.
6. I have enough information to write the book.
7. I have great support from my family and friends.
8. I have an editor who is very interested in the book.
9. My prologue sets the stage for the book.
10. I will have to rewrite everything!
11. Life happens.
As of tonight, the prologue is still the only part of the book completed. I wrote "Life happens" without knowing that one month later my mother-in-law, Helene, would go into the hospital and spend a month on the edge of life and death. She is home now after two months of rehab. But she has a long road to travel with much support needed from her family. Life happens.
The research piece is still happening, too. Last week I went to Google Books and started typing in names. I must say I was shocked to find that two of the cases I'm researching went to the Colorado Supreme Court. The court upheld the County Court's rulings. I should have been thrilled to find this, but I felt overwhelmed. If I missed this big piece of the puzzle, what other big pieces am I overlooking. But I also remembered this is a treasure hunt and each treasure comes when it is ready to be found and when I am ready to find it. Tomorrow I am going to the State Archives to look at the Colorado Supreme Court Cases.
I have added Twitter to my blog in the right-hand column. Twitter is a social network where you answer the question, "What are you doing now?" in 140 characters or less. I thought I'd just Twitter what I was doing with the book and research, but I've decided to go ahead and share what I'm doing at other times. Now you will know why the book isn't finished yet!

Small newspost to round out the night, but it has been announced a member of the infamous "Dev-Team", Planetbeing, has managed to port Android's Mobile OS to the Apple iPhone.
The iPhone Dev Team is responsible for a number of tools that circumvent the iPhone's security, and the fact that they've been able to throw Android on the iPhone is kind of a big deal. As far as I know, this is the first time anyone's been able to throw a completely different manufacturer's OS onto the device.
Whether this is just a side project (which is still in alpha, by the way) or something that opens up a realm of multi-booting possibilities, it's great to see Android being worked with in new and creative ways.

Well, there's no doubt in my mind that Kindles are brilliant for travelling! I'm still frustrated by the inability to skip back and forth in a novel, but my partner tells me he has no such trouble: I just need to learn some techniques. And, contrary to my earlier prejudice, I've found the highlighting feature to be superior to the practice of underlining in a print book: it didn't take me long to be able to do it swiftly, and then rather than having to search back through a whole book for my underlinings (or note them down as I go), I can now simply press a button and call them all up, and press again to see each one in its whole context. And as for the dictionary: no more putting the book aside to check up on the meaning of a word; just press a button and it's there right away at the bottom or top of the screen. I was in Germany and stupidly hadn't taken a German phrase book or dictionary: no problem; I could get one straight down on my Kindle for very little expense, and nothing further to carry around with me! (I did find it fiddly to use at first, but quickly got used to it.)
I'm looking at all those books on our groaning shelves - the old falling-apart paperbacks, the (not so old) hardbacks with their browning paper, all piled two-deep and higgledy-piggedly because we long ago ran out of space, so we can't even find books any more when we want them, and I'm seeing them with different eyes....
Surely not, no... My whole life has been wedded to the physicality of books and their shelves, the way they sat beside my bed on the little white bookcase my parents bought me, or on the planks and bricks I set up in my first-ever flat; the way, on my many moves, I'd pack them carefully into tea-chests before anything else... What would I be without them?

No one has to remind the Lady Bisons softball team where the Atlantic Sun coaches placed them in the preseason conference poll.
With nine freshmen and one transfer joining the team for 2007, the coaches predicted the Lady Bisons would finish ninth out of 10 teams. Only Belmont was picked lower. No Lady Bisons were picked for any preseason honors.
"They know where we were picked," Lipscomb coach Kristin Peck said. "They are very aware of that. Every time we go out there we want to make a statement."
The Lady Bisons opened A-Sun play with a sweep of Belmont at home at Draper Diamond. The Lady Bisons, with five of those freshmen starting on a regular basis, went to Stetson last week and split a doubleheader with the team the coaches picked to win both the regular season and tournament championships. On Sunday afternoon they beat host Stetson 7-1 in the final day of their invitational tournament.
"We talked about how the game in the tournament did not affect the conference standings, but it was kind of for bragging rights," Peck said. "We were trying to make a statement to the rest of the conference, and anyone we play the rest of the way, that this is the kind of team that we are. You can't take us lightly
"It was a huge confidence builder. It proved to our players that we can compete with any team in the conference. And we do have a shot at the title."
Friday night at Draper Diamond the Lady Bisons put their 3-1 conference record on the line when North Florida (23-14, 1-1) visits for a doubleheader starting at 5 p.m. Saturday afternoon at 3 Jacksonville (10-27, 1-1) visits for another A-Sun doubleheader. This will be the first games for the Lady Bisons since Sunday.
North Florida is second in the A-Sun in pitching with a 1.74 earned run average. UNF's Devyn Findley leads the conference with a 1.28 ERA. She is tied with Christen Campbell of the Lady Bisons for wins with 10. UNF pitcher Katie Brosky has the fourth best ERA in the conference (1.83).
"This is our first full weekend of A-Sun games," Peck said. "North Florida and Jacksonville are both good teams. I don't think that it was a bad thing that we had a week with just practice and no games. Hopefully, we will go into this weekend fresh. It will be a good test for us.
"North Florida beat us pretty good last year. They hit the ball. They are a well-coached team. They are going to come out and attack. We have to be ready for that. We have to come out offensively and do our part. It should be a very good match-up."
The Lady Bisons have been a surprise on many levels so far this season. Starting five freshmen they have posted a 16-15 record. And they head into the weekend series with 30 home runs in 31 games. Gardner-Webb leads the conference with 36.
The Lady Bisons lead the conference in hitting (.321), on-base percentage (.388) and slugging percentage (.483).
"We have a lot of power in the middle of the order," Peck said. "We work and tweak little things between games and mid-week. We spend a lot of time working on getting all the way through the ball and staying on the pitch and hitting it where it is pitched.
"We have tried to stress to our players not to carry their last at-bat to their next one. Whether they go up and hit a home run or strikeout once that at-bat is over then it's over. They have to learn from each at-bat, but they also have to approach each at-bat as their first. It is paying off for us."
Freshman Kellie Sirus has hit nine home runs, tying her for second in the conference. Freshman Abby Keese had eight after hitting four over the weekend. Junior Heather Collins also has eight. Only three position players have not hit at least one home run.
Keese is second in the A-Sun in hitting with a .393 average. Freshman Lauren Dortwegt is fourth batting .387. Collins is tied for eighth with a .358 average.
Collins is tied for second in runs batted in (37) and has the highest RBI percentage per game (1.19).
Three players are in the top five in the A-Sun in slugging percentage. Keese is second (.708). Collins is third (.674) and Kellie Sirus is fifth (.663).
"We have a lot of power in the middle, but we have had a home run from Leigh Little at the top of the order and a home run from Kristie Sirus who bats at the bottom of the order," Peck said. "We have got several players like that. They are not going to get the big home run totals for the year, but they get one or two or three. It is just really helping us out."
Having so many power threats all the way through the lineup has made the Lady Bisons a challenge for opposing pitchers.
"It gives you a little bit of an edge," Peck said. "It is hard to walk a batter to get to another batter knowing that the other batter has just as much of a power punch as the batter you just walked. I would think that would be tough for the other team to do."
Peck was concerned about starting so many freshmen at the start of the season, but she is glad they are gaining so much experience.
"This is going to do us a lot of good down the road, and for years to come," Peck said. "Early on it looked like a negative, but they are talented. Even though they are young and inexperienced on this level, they have played for some great travel club team and on some very good high school teams.
"They have come in here wanting to prove something. They want to prove that they belong at this level. We are trying to get our program to another level and they knew that coming in as well."

I can relate to your concern; my son weighed just under 16 lbs at 12 months. I worried constantly, and agonized over what I should be doing. I talked to our pediatrician (numerous times lol), and when he was around 9 or so months old she offered to order labwork to make sure that he was getting what he needed nutritionally, but she was not concerned. (I was, because he had only gained a few ounces between his six- and nine-month checkups--but she pointed out that he had grown several inches and been working on lots of new things--scooting/crawling/sitting/that kind of thing.) We did the labwork and she was correct; he was fine, just growing on his own curve and in his own time. It sounds like you're really concerned--it might be worth a trip to the pediatrician to 1) rule out a problem, and 2) give you some peace of mind. My son has stayed on the small side, but is healthy and strong, just long and lean. He's five and a half now and weighs about 38 lbs.
Another thing I wondered about in reading your posts is how much you're getting out and about--when I am stuck indoors in one place for very long, I find that I start to worry--sometimes having a diversion helps. A change of scenery can be a powerful thing.
I hope you are able to find a way to manage your worry and enjoy nursing more.

While dating rules may vary slightly on an individual basis, there are some universal ones. And though there are those you should always follow (like "do not rectally penetrate your date without prior permission or proper lubrication"), there are a few that, much like Justin Bieber's skull, merit shattering beyond repair.
Rule: Dating rules dictate no discussion of having children immediately. You'll appear to be moving too fast if you inquire about kids too soon.
Why you should break it: It sucks when you really connect with someone and find out after a few weeks, months or years of dating that your reproductive aspirations are complete polar opposites. Don't risk dragging out a doomed love affair–lay out how you feel as soon as comfortably possible because the decision to make little sperm-and-egg omelets is a major issue. Most men' class='linkify' target='_blank'>women want kids someday and several have raging baby rabies. So if you're a child-free guy, this is especially important. What's the harm in delving into the subject and having the shit hit the fan sooner when you're not too involved rather than later when you're nuts about one another? This rule also pertains to other touchy lifestyle choices like sexual openness, religious beliefs and political views.
Rule: Never talk about ex-girlfriends and ex-wives. Women don't like being compared to your former partners.
Why you should break it:Yes, heaven forbid you compare your date to an ex because you fancy avoiding an instant replay of a past mistake. Waxing poetic for hours about an ex with whom you're still enamored while wearing her underwear may alarm your date, but it's naive to think either you or your chick have no sexual history. Be adults—talk about why these relationships went the way of the Hindenburg and what you would want out of a future romantic commitment. This is also a good way to find out if she has been ridden more than a champion pony and to insist on STD testing.
Rule: After dating for a bit, you don't need to care about your appearance anymore.
Why you should break it: It seems that when a guy has "snagged" someone, they will start getting sloppy about their looks and their hygiene. During those first few magical, euphoric nights out, you'd get all dolled up: comb your hair, shave, wear deodorant, wash your crotch, and so on. Why? So your date will be impressed and attracted to you, which is difficult to accomplish when you smell like sweaty balls and your hair is greasy enough to double as a slip-and-slide. Once people reach a comfortable level in dating, they often let their appearance go all to hell. It makes you look totally lazy and unreliable, and this will repel a woman like the remake of "The Haunting" repels good reviews. Chicks dig a sharply dressed man because it demonstrates confidence, along with showing that you give a damn. Try making even a semblance of an effort to look slick and maintain basic hygiene so you can continue being that sexy bag of irresistible manliness.
Rule: Men should pay for everything.
Why you should break it: The assumption that a man always has to pay for the whole date is ridiculous. Is the woman too poor to ever pay for dinner or a drink? If a chick is going to take financial advantage of you from the get-go and won't even consider buying you a drink or dinner, she's looking for a sugar daddy and not a partner. The ideal balance would be one where the guy pays sometimes, the woman pays sometimes, and then the rest of the time, each go Dutch. Screw dating rules–women are always bitching about wanting equal rights, so they can get their wish and pony up for dinner once in a while like men do.

Before you even que up for the LFR as a tank, be aware the the tables have turned and your queue will not be instant, no sir! be ready for a little bit of a queue time. So without much more to say, let's have a real quick LFR tanking guide. This is quick, and oversimplified!
1 Debuff – Taunt at 2 Stacks!
You can survive more, but 2 seem to clear nicely and not cause you much issues.
Taunt in the middle of the road. You might have to reposition. Make sure you are always stacking with the other tank.
Rotate through your cooldowns while you are tanking and be ready for getting hit a little harder towards the end.
1 Debuff – Taunt at 3/4 Stacks!
Oozeappoloza! Purple – Yellow – Red (Green does not do splash damage on LFR)
Make sure you help kill the Oozes, there always seems to be a DPS (see hunters) that refuse to switch. If one of the oozes that comes out is the black one, be ready to AoE taunt adds and be free with your AoE abilities.
If you are the OT you could be the one bouncing the ball back and forth. If you have aggro, face the boss towards the raid initially and once the ball is formed face him away. No other movement needed besides stacking up.
Hagara the Stormbinder
Probably the first fight that actually requires some tanking.
Focused assault hurts! you could just pop a cooldown, but learning the timing and running away will make it so you take no damage.
Try to tank off center and be ready to tank the add during the electric phase.
Do not tunnel vision during ice phase DPSing a crystal, move early and stay alive.
Tank and Spank… well kinda!
This is a fun fight for tanks, we get to use our cooldowns a lot more. Make sure you time them correctly and this fight will be no problem.
Warmaster Blackhorn
2 Debuffs – Lots of movement
You start having to tank two types of adds. While it is important to swap, it is more important to not let one of them run wild. Get everything controlled and the talk to your off-tank if you need to swap.
Help soak all incoming damage to the ship. Rotate through your cooldowns.
The boss will have to be move away from void zones and avoid his shockwave.
Spine of Douchewing
This is the fight where you will become a STAR! make friends across all realms and have post written about you!
Mark and kill 1 (uno) tentacle. Grab the add and get it to 30%. Let the OT kill 9 bloods. Pick up the 10 bloods, nuke the add. Rinse and repeat!
Here is where this fight causes issues to everyone though. The very first add comes out when there are not enough bloods… people see adds, people blow up add without sufficient stacks, process has to start all over. If you time things right with your OT, the first part will seem to take forever, but it will help the new people understand what is going on.
Towards the end of the fight the issue might be too many bloods beating on healers, so if you are the free tank, go pick the up with an aoe taunt, and potentially keep them from the main add until it is at 30%
Mark and DSP the tendon and WIN!
Madness of Douchewing
Debuffs that can KILL YOU! BEWARE!
Not a bad tanking fight. Move to the back to start tanking the tentacle, specially on the last platform because it spawns almost as people are arriving to the platform (if they left blue for last like most people do).
Tank swap on debuff (survivable with cooldowns, but not recommended)
When you actually get to DPS deathwing, don't forget about the green button specially when you are going to take a big damage spike.
Kill all the tentacles and WIN!

"Is this the home of Rebert Harris?" I asked anxiously. The woman who had answered the phone said yes. "Rebert Harris of the Soul Stirrers?" Yes, she said again. I told her I was writing a story on the legendary gospel quartet from Trinity, Texas, and I wondered if I could speak to Mr. Harris. "Re-bert!" she yelled as my temples pulsed. "You can only talk to him for a minute," she told me. "He's been sick."
I couldn't believe it. I had tracked down the first smooth stylist in the history of gospel quartets, the architect of what would later--much later--be called soul music. Before Harris joined the Soul Stirrers in 1935, the emotional intensity currently identified with gospel singing was considered almost sinful. Quartet singers stood in a row and concentrated on barbershop-like harmonies. But R.H., as he was billed, stepped up front and led his group with a pristine tenor that shimmied and slurred all over the beat, often flipping into falsetto and embarking on wailing flights of improvisation.
There are certain voices you can't forget hearing for the first time: Aretha Franklin, George Jones, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Ira Louvin, James Brown. In my case add Rebert H. Harris, who I had heard for the first time only eight years ago on Rhino's Jubilation! compilation. Even in the midst of so many great gospel singers, Harris stood out on a 1950 version of "By and By, Pts. 1 & 2," switching leads with Paul Foster, who sounds like a young Rebert.
"My God moves in mysterious ways," Harris sings, with a forceful flutter. "It's hard to understand no matter how hard we try/But we'll understand it better by and by," he continues, setting up Foster's impassioned screeching, then it's back to Harris, also overcome with emotion. That example of faith set to music made a believer out of me, if only for five minutes. Before that first listen, I was aware only of the Soul Stirrers' status as a farm team for the pop charts. They were the group in which Sam Cooke sang before he went on to sell millions by wedding Saturday night and Sunday morning on such emotive pop songs as "You Send Me," "Chain Gang," and "Wonderful World." And they were the group in which the late Johnnie Taylor got his start before asking, "Who's makin' love to your old lady while you're out makin' love?"
When I discovered, a couple years later, that the Stirrers were from Texas before their move to the gospel Mecca of Chicago in 1937, I had to know everything I could about them.
A recent collection on the Shanachie label, Kings of the Gospel Highway, which opens with six vintage Stirrers tracks, had not only rekindled my affinity for the music, but provided an unexpected bit of news. The liner notes said Harris was the only surviving member of the original Soul Stirrers. I had been almost certain he was dead.
After two hours of phone calls failed to unearth any information, except that Harris was living in Chicago, I took a stab at directory assistance. When the operator told me to please hold for the number, I wrote it down and looked at it for a long time before dialing.
"Re-bert, come talk to the reporter," said Mary Harris, his wife of 21 years. And then a tired, scratchy voice said, "Hello." Although his pipes had been ravaged by throat cancer and his distinctive cadence had been thrown off by a stroke, I couldn't help but think that the breathless rasp on the phone came from the same place as that elastic falsetto that revolutionized gospel music. It sounded painful for him to speak, so I did most of the talking, taking the chance to tell Rebert Harris just how much those old Soul Stirrers records amaze me. When I told him I was calling from Austin, Texas, he lit up.
"I'm from Texas!" he said. "Ever hear of Trinity?" I told him I was going to visit that town, 135 miles south of Dallas, to see where soul music really began. I said I also wanted to fly there to interview him if it was all right. Something told me that I had to get to Chicago to meet the singer who has stirred my soul like none other. I went ahead and booked my flight, even before getting approval from my employer, the Austin American Statesman.
"Rebert Harris! I'm going to meet Rebert Harris!" I told my friends.
They all asked the same thing: "Who?"
That Rebert H. Harris' New York Times obituary ran on September 9, six days after he passed away at age 84, attests to the obscurity that shaded his existence after he bestowed the reins of the Stirrers to Sam Cooke in 1950. That two of the Stirrers names were misspelled and Harris was described as a "soul singer" in the headline (a designation that would have killed the gospel purist if his heart hadn't already given out) proves that this musical pioneer has never received the glory he deserved.
When you consider that his pupil is universally regarded as "the father of soul," R.H. Harris could be considered the most influential Texas musician of all time. Who has inspired more great music? Buddy Holly, the hero of the Beatles? T-Bone Walker, who gave the world electric blues? Western swing king Bob Wills? But think of all that spawned from Rebert H. Harris, who stepped out front, while four (and later five) guys in matching suits stood behind him accenting certain words and repeating phrases. In the 1930s, the Soul Stirrers provided the blueprint for doo-wop, as well as such Motown groups as the Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and the Four Tops. Sam Cooke, who put good bone structure and hair on R.H. Harris' sound, inspired just about everyone who has ever sung a soul ballad, especially sexually charged healers such as Marvin Gaye and Al Green.
"Most everybody out there singing has got a bit of me snuck up in them," Harris told Anthony Heilbut, who wrote the essential reference book The Gospel Sound: Good News and Bad Times. Harris also liked to remark that most of the people imitating him didn't even know his name. This lack of recognition bothered Harris to the point that he would often overcompensate by making outlandish claims. In a 1987 interview on behalf of the Texas Music Museum, Harris took credit for inventing the falsetto and later teaching the style to Bill Kenny of the Ink Spots, writing the first true gospel song (at age 7), inspiring vocal arrangements by Duke Ellington, and inadvertently teaching Tex Ritter how to yodel. He said he'd been offered blank checks by record labels wanting him to sing pop and R&B. But he considered his talent a gift from above, so he thought it only fair to devote his voice solely to the Lord.
He could be telling the truth, but Harris' boasts stretch thin over the course of the hour-long interview. There's really no graceful way to atone for 50 years of being overlooked.
Although he claims that his subsequent groups--the Christland Singers, the Gospel Paraders, and the Masonic Quintet--"ascended the heights of popularity," Harris was never able to duplicate the furor he created with the Soul Stirrers. After leaving the group he became president of the National Quartet Association and worked for a florist to help support his first wife, ex-Golden Harps singer Jeannette Harris and their four children. But his singing continued to impress the likes of critic Tom Smucker, who named 1972's Precious Lord, a gospel compilation featuring Harris, his choice for a desert-island album. In the book Stranded, Smucker writes that Harris' impassioned reading of "Peace in the Valley" tops a more famous version, "outstripping Elvis Presley's fervor with his urgency, commitment and desperation."
Despite his miss with the masses, gospelheads know all about the prematurely bald dynamo who quit the Soul Stirrers too soon because he tired of a life on the road overrun with swindlers and Jezebels.
"His was a vocal sound never before heard in gospel--nor has it been heard since," wrote Horace Clarence Boyer in How Sweet the Sound: The Golden Age of Gospel. Boyer, a singer himself, offers that Harris' unique style comes from a choice "to place his voice between the head and chest so he could call on the power of his lower voice, (as well as) the falsetto, in which he could essay his high range but without the opera singer sound."
Harris claimed to have no musical influences besides those he found in the trees and fields of his family's farm outside Trinity. "The falsetto sound that traveled from gospel to soul to the Beatles began as a Texas birdsong mimicked by a latter-day Mozart," wrote Heilbut, who also produced a Harris album in the 1970s titled The Father of Them All.
Musical history is often made, not in the major cities and garden spots, but in the beat-down burgs of Tupelo, Mississippi; Gary, Indiana; Aberdeen, Washington; Hibbing, Minnesota; Liverpool, England; and Trinity, Texas. In such places, the yearning for escape sweetens big dreams. On the surface, there's nothing special about those towns. But if you believe in spirits, a visit to a place haunted by genius is good for the soul. I had to "Walk Around," as the title of the Stirrers' first major hit suggests, where Rebert Harris, S.R. Crain, J.J. Farley, Walter LeBeau, and Edward R. Rundless first stirred the soul.
A sign proclaiming Trinity, population 2,997, as "a city of prayer" welcomes visitors to this spot a few miles from where the Trinity River feeds into Lake Livingston. But it's also a prison town, located just 15 miles from the Huntsville correctional facilities, the area's biggest employer. Harris grew up on a farm 13 miles outside Trinity in the former "Blackland" settlement (named after the darkness of its soil, not the racial constitution of its residents). James and Katie Harris and their nine children (Rebert was their sixth) lived about 300 yards from the barbed wire fence of the Eastham Prison Camp, where convicts would toil in the fields and sing themselves back home with a mixture of spirituals and blues. Rebert says he started arranging his first gospel quartet, with his brother Almo and two cousins, before he even knew what the quartet style was.
"I was 7 years old, and the closest boy in age was six years older," he said in that 1987 interview. "I heard the sound of each part in my head and I'd tell each person how to sing it."
The group was called the Friendly Four and then the Friendly Gospel Singers when Harris moved to town to start seventh grade at the Trinity Colored High School. After 10th grade, which is as far as the school went, 15-year-old Harris attended Mary Allen College in nearby Crockett and weighed a tempting offer to join Crain's group the Soul Stirrers, who had moved to Houston. At the time the Stirrers were a jubilee group, singing poppy, up-tempo numbers such as "Down By the Riverside." But as soon as Harris finally committed (Rebert says the year was 1931; gospel historians usually put the year at '35 or '36), he helped change the group's sound to a slower, deeper, more passionate hard gospel style.
Harris' parents were devout churchgoers and choir singers who, in 1911, helped build a church that bears their name (Harris Chapel C.M.E.) on the main road leading into town. It's one of 23 places of worship in Trinity, which is one of those seemingly joyless hamlets where porches are piled like thrift stores and folks sell barbecue and trinkets out of their homes. But on Sunday, the burdens dissipate in feverish church singing.
I hit town without much of a clue on where to begin my soul search, but I was pretty sure my immediate future held conversations with various elderly African-Americans. Possible sources presented themselves at the Texaco station, but the two old men in bibbed overalls said they didn't know much about the Soul Stirrers. They suggested that I visit Rev. Douglas DeBose--"He's some kinda kin to one a dem"--and gave directions that included a brown station wagon with a flat tire as a landmark.
From the driveway, it sounded like a revival was occurring inside the DeBose house, but it was a couple of the 12 DeBose children banging away on a pair of pianos, one electric and the other one an upright of faded turquoise.
"I taught 'em how to play, but they passed me a long time ago," says their mother, Susan DeBose, one of the few white people in the neighborhood just north of downtown. In another room, a teenaged girl sat on a bed and watched Simon & Simon with the volume on full-blast while a boy about the same age napped faced down across the bed. Their mother, seemingly oblivious to the racket, told me how to get to the tabernacle group meeting. In an annex to the aluminum temp building, I found DeBose, current pastor of the Lone Star Baptist Church, where R.H. Harris and the Soul Stirrers sang in the early days. There was business to be done at the gathering of area preachers, so I made plans to meet with DeBose the next day.
The next morning we sat with 72-year-old Lois Saldana, who talked about the car that pulled into her driveway a few years back and the tall, thin man who emerged. "Rebert Harris! Look at you!" she exclaimed at that rare sight. Harris told Saldana that he didn't think she'd recognize him, "but you could always tell Rebert by the way he walked, kinda slow and smooth," she recalled. Saldana says Harris used to come home once a year, but the last time she saw him was in 1996, when he came for the funeral of original Soul Stirrer Silas Roy Crain, who everyone in Trinity calls "Simp" for a reason no one can recall. The man who named the Soul Stirrers when a parishioner said the group had stirred her soul is buried in the Trinity Black Cemetery, but he doesn't even have a headstone on his grave. His body's location is marked with an aluminum card that looks like it's identifying azaleas.
DeBose had a plumbing job to get to, so he steered me in the direction of 79-year-old Tom Rogers, whose mother was Rebert's first cousin. Rogers didn't know that Harris had passed away 10 days earlier, but the news didn't have much effect on him. "Say a prayer I make 80," said the man who had just been chopping wood.
"You gotta meet Hill Perkins," Rogers said, and I perked right up. Besides lining up next to guard Rebert Harris on the Trinity Thoroughbreds football team, Hill Perkins was a member of the Friendly Gospel Singers, the group Harris formed when he was 11.
"Rebert had a kid with his girlfriend Lucille Norman in high school," Perkins said, when we met him on his porch.
"Nah, it wadn't Lucille--it was that other gal," Rogers countered.
"But he never got in any real trouble," Perkins said. "He was a good kid."
"His daddy woulda to' him up, boy," Rogers adds, with a laugh. "You didn't mess with Unca Jimmy."
At age 84, Perkins struggled to remember his old friend. He recalled that Harris was always singing, even on the football field, but he was confused about which of his brothers was also in the Friendly Gospel Singers (it was Fred). He doesn't remember much about the group's early performances at Harris Chapel, but a mention of "I Want Jesus to Walk Around My Bedside," which Harris claimed to have written as a 7-year-old in 1923 (nearly two decades before it was recorded by New York City's Selia Singers), brings a sparkle of recognition.
"Walk around, walk around, walk around," Perkins hummed, reciting his old part, eyes dancing to the nostalgic beat. "Walk around, walk around, walk around." For a brief moment, he was there again.
On the five-hour drive from Austin to Trinity, I had started to question my obsession with Harris. Was my appreciation spiked by the sense of discovery? Did my mission to tell as many people as possible about this great singer make his notes all the sweeter in my mind? Was he merely a secret I was bursting to tell? Or was Rebert Harris really that good?
The answer to all those questions is, simply, yes. This moment of clarity came just before I left Trinity. I decided to visit the Harris Chapel one more time. I sat in my car outside that simple, white, box-like church and listened to Rebert Harris sing on my CD player. God, what a marvelous voice, so pure and clean and filled with passion. In my mind, the chapel doors outside my window opened to reveal a little boy standing on a chair so he could be as tall as his fellow singers. His voice, like those of the mockingbirds, was effortless in its leap from the soul.
"We'll understand it better by and by."
Two months earlier, I sat in another car, listening to a different version of Rebert Harris' voice on my cell phone. I was a block away from Harris' home on the West Side of Chicago, just calling to let him know I'd be at his front door within minutes. But Rebert said on the advice of his lawyer he changed his mind about doing the interview.
"People are making all this money offa me, and I don't see a cent," he said. "You could turn around and write a book, and I wouldn't get nothin'." He tried to shake me down for money, saying the Chicago Tribune paid him a little something for an interview (untrue). When it became apparent that he wouldn't budge, I told him that since I was in the neighborhood, I just wanted to shake his hand and thank him in person for all the great music, then I'd be on my way.
"Well, all right then, I'll see ya for a minute," he said.
His wife met me at the door and led me inside a dark, ornately decorated house. A plastic trail on the carpet led us to a back room, where Harris rose from a chair with much effort and the aid of a walker to shake my hand. I gushed for a few moments, then he sat down and gestured for me to sit. A little shell-shocked from his initial refusal to talk during our earlier phone conversation, I left my tape recorder in the car, but it didn't matter. The information was invalidated by several contradictions, which may have been intentional, to throw off the nosy stranger. When I asked him how much he taught Cooke, he refuted decades of liner notes and gospel anthologies by saying Cooke already had his own style before joining the Soul Stirrers. I got the feeling that Harris had decided to not give me any useful quotes and instead showed me fan mail from as far away as Japan and described pictures on his wall. Or maybe he had finally made peace with his past.

"Who's that?" I said, pointing to a velvet painting of a bald man with thick-rimmed glasses.
"That's Rebert," Mary said. "It doesn't look like him, but one of our dear friends from our church [New Faith Baptist] made it for us, so it's special that way."
Family photos dominate one wall. Facing it is a wall containing Soul Stirrers memorabilia, including a newspaper article announcing the group's 1989 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When I asked him with whom I should speak in Trinity about the Soul Stirrers, he said, "I'm the only one who knows the real story."
Maybe all the loose ends of life come together in the sweet by and by, as said by that song that moved me toward fanaticism eight years ago. The truth, whatever it is in this tale of fuzzy memories and furry pride, was buried with Rebert H. Harris. What's left is his music--sweet, powerful music that transcends the mortal soul and connects in a deeper way than stories to be told.

Once Again, Motorola Gets Slapped Around Over Attempt To License Standards Patents At High Rates To Microsoft
from the just-drop-it-already dept
The ITC has sided with Microsoft, the FTC dinged Google for how it handled Motorola's standards essential patents, the EU has sided with Microsoft and a US court did as well. And, the latest is that a jury in that trial has, once again, sided with Microsoft over Motorola, saying that Motorola was seeking licensing fees for standards essential patents that were way out of line.
This is a key battle over what "FRAND" (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory) licensing terms on standards essential patents (SEPs) should be. Historically, Google has been pretty good about pushing back against patent abuse, including the ridiculous licensing demands that get thrown around for SEPs. But when it inherited the Motorola case, it kept Motorola's bad strategy going, and now it's suffering the consequences. Google had a chance to make a really strong statement early on, chose not to, and now is getting slapped around pretty much everywhere for trying to charge ridiculously high licensing fees. This seems like a financial, strategic and legal mistake all wrapped in one.

Hi mommies,
My son is 17mo and nurses regularly, including overnight. This was fine when we were co-sleeping but recently he decided that he prefers his toddler bed and so I'm either up quite a bit overnight or trying to sleep scrunched up in a too-short-for-me bed and without disturbing Elmo and other close friends who tend to join us now and then... needless to say this is getting old fast. I would love for him to sleep through the night but right now the pattern seems to be bedtime, nurse around 11, nurse around 2, nurse around 5, plus occasional wakings. Sometimes he'll sleep 5 hrs the first stretch... sometimes.
Any ideas for gentle night weaning? We've tried having papa take the first couple wakings but after 2 or 3 tries he is usually pretty insistent for milk. It varies how much he nurses in terms of for comfort v snacking during the night. He is great w his food during the day so I'm not worried about his nutrition. I think he just likes to nurse! Which is great, but I'd like to sleep! Would love some advice and btdt.
Thanks in advance!

This is an excerpt of On Assignment, education writer Theresa Harrington's blog on Contra Costa County schools. Read more and post comments at IBABuzz.com/onassignment. Follow her at Twitter.com/tunedtotheresa.
July 26
An upcoming overhaul of the General Education Development test, or GED, is causing lots of debate locally and around the country due to major changes to the test, the way it is administered and who is overseeing it.
Starting Jan. 1, adults must take the high school equivalency tests on computers, instead of pencil and paper. The current five sections of the GED test, which include one language arts reading section and one language arts writing section, will be reduced to four (reasoning through language arts, mathematical reasoning, science and social studies).
The questions will be more complex, with short answers and essays intended to show greater understanding and critical analysis by test-takers in order to pass. Anyone who has not passed all five sections of the current test by the end of the year must start over in January.
Also, the GED Testing Service that oversees the tests is under new ownership, after a merger between the nonprofit American Council on Education that has always overseen it, with the for-profit Pearson learning company. The more stringent testing requirements, coupled with the new management structure, have placed additional burdens on adult education programs in California that are stressed from state budget negotiations.
In response to these concerns, the state Board of Education is considering changing its GED regulations to allow the California Department of Education to pursue an alternative high school equivalency test that could be taken using pencil and paper or computers. The board is accepting written comments through July 30 on an amendment that would change "a general educational development test" to "a test to obtain a high school equivalency certificate." This change would clarify that the department would not be referencing the GED test.
Comments may be sent to the regulations coordinator via email: email@example.com, or by FAX to 916-319-0155. More information, including the mailing address, is available by calling 916-319-0800 or by visiting www.cde.ca.gov/be/ag/ag/yr13/agenda201307.asp. Click on Item 6 under the full board agenda public session for July 10, 2013.
The state board held a public hearing about the proposed changes in May and received 10 comments ranging from support to criticism.
Randy Trask, president of the GED Testing Service, objected to assertions made in a Feb. 20 memo from the state Department of Education to the board that said computer-based testing would decrease access, especially in rural and correctional settings, and that continued paper-based testing across the state was essential. Trask said the memo conspicuously omitted the benefits of the computer-based system or costs to test-takers.
In a phone interview, GED spokesman Armando Diaz said the computer change has many benefits.
"We're not just providing a test," he said. "We're providing an entire system."
It will include a pre-GED test as well as post-test information, including scores and suggestions for next steps, he said. Now, if someone doesn't pass, they have no idea what they need to do to pass next time.
The new test will provide an in-depth score report, showing strengths and weaknesses, he said. Based on the passing score, the system may suggest additional coursework, he added.
"We want to bridge the gap between test-takers and middle skills jobs," he said. "A lot of technology has been introduced to the manufacturing field, but a lot of adults are not familiar with technology, such as dragging a computer mouse around. I don't think Target and Walmart even offer paper applications anymore."
If the GED test did not move to computers, he said, test-takers could be at a disadvantage when they look for jobs.
More information about the new test is at www.gedtestingservice.com.
