Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
This, unfortunately, is an often used 'trick' by Christian apologists in an attempt to shift the burden of proof. However, it doesn't work because the negative of a negative is a positive. Think for example about whether or not you are skeptical of non-belief in Unicorns. This would be fundamentally no different from saying you believe in unicorns. So saying you are "skeptical of non-belief" is merely to confuse language by using the negative of a negative. Why not just admit you believe X things and move forward with providing evidence? This seems like a much more honest and accurate approach to discussion and debate.
The point of the OP (Original Post) was that, according to what the bible claims, Jesus didn't stay dead and so his "sacrifice" wasn't genuine - especially since he was supposedly God in flesh. So God sacrificed himself, to himself (but didn't actually stay dead) in order to "save us" from himself? Isn't this God supposed to be all-powerful? If so, it doesn't seem this action (if it happened) did anything at all b/c an all-powerful God cannot lack anything, and therefore by definition cannot sacrifice anything. Do you follow? If God requires a sacrifice (and I think this is an absurd idea) why would a very short three days away from earth be sufficient? The point is, if he didn't stay dead (and therefore actually lose something) then this doesn't seem to count as a real sacrifice at all.
So slaughtering something innocent (i.e. - a bull, lamb, or person) somehow makes it so that we are no longer responsible for our actions? How? Would you sacrifice your son or daughter if you thought God told you to (like Abraham supposedly) and if you thought other people would forget about how you wronged them? The idea of blood sacrifice doesn't seem to have any connection whatsoever to our actions, other than just a divine dictator saying, "This is how it is", but is that kind of dictatorship moral? How can we evaluate whether or not this alleged God is actually "good" or not? In other words, how can we determine if a sacrifice is necessary?
You don't think mass genocide, human sacrifice, slavery, infanticide, and rape are barbaric or evil? What could be more barbaric than those? I won't assume you have read the whole bible but many of us here (including myself) have and find those "reasons" quite wrong and irrational. Have you read the passages in 1 Samuel 15 where God supposedly commands the slaying of women and children, or Psalm 127 where God supposedly says, "Blessed is he who dashes the little babies against the stone"? In Exodus 21 God allegedly sanctions slavery (owning people as property) and in Judges 11 God condones human sacrifice. Can you think of any situation where this would be morally OK? It would seem to me that if a sacrifice is required for wrong doing then God himself needs a sacrifice for his wrong doing. I do realize this will likely get us into discussing the Euthyphro Dilemma but that's OK.
If Jesus was God, and was the ultimate sacrifice, why didn't he stay dead? A real "sacrifice" would require a loss, don't you think? But in this story, God didn't lose himself did he? Can God lose anything? He didn't really even die b/c his real self was (supposedly) immaterial and lived on (isn't he supposed to be eternal?). Of course, I personally don't think any of this took place at all but I think it's important to think critically about these doctrines - especially when there is so much at stake. Don't you?
I am glad about this, and for what it's worth I used to believe these things too until I ran into a bunch of ex-Christian folks like us here and had to change my view to better fit with sound reasoning and intellectual honesty I look forward to your reply and thank you for joining WWGHAF.

MLBTR article on Choo's FA profile.
The writer guesses that Choo gets 6 years at $100M which puts him at $16.67M a year. I just did the math based on the other articles MLBTR has released like the arb numbers and the Offseason Outlook and came to a total of $120M for this year if we kept Choo at that number he suggested. Of course that $120M does not factor in Dusty's vacation salary and the replacements (or resign) of Parra and Izturis either.
I read another article on Red Reporter that said to expect the Reds payroll to rise at least 10% because of improved attendance this year. They had the payroll at $100M last year therefore this year would be $110M. My numbers from both Baseball Reference and ESPN have the payroll this year at $110 and given a 10% increase would put us right there to afford Choo and Parra and a veteran INF next year.
Of course if the numbers are higher or whatever, I think it is definitely in the realm of possibility to backload Choo's contract. This way we can afford the extensions of Latos, Cueto, Leake and possibly Bailey while paying Choo a little less than the average per year salary on his contract until Broxton, Ludwick, Marshall, and Chapman are off the books.

ENGLEWOOD — — If it's a new season, then it's time for Peyton Manning to make a new series of commercials.
There was a news conference Friday at Dove Valley to announce a multi-year, multi-million dollar deal between Manning, the Broncos' quarterback, and Nationwide Insurance.
Manning said he was already a Nationwide client before entering into this arrangement. He will join NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick as the insurance company's top pitchers.
"Yes, he will absolutely be doing commercials for us," said Matt Jauchius, Nationwide's chief marketing officer. "We have not shot the ads yet, and there is a team of people who are feverishly working on that right now. With a talent like Peyton, he has a range from an incredibly sincere and honest individual to someone with a lot of personality who can be really funny and carry humor. So we've got a lot to work with and a wonderful person, too. We have not shot them, but we'll get them shot before training camp."

Copyright 2011, CABS for Reflections From the Fence
One of the first interments I happened upon while strolling through Boothill Grave Yard in Tombstone, Arizona was this one:
That surname jumped out at me, as one of the Lashbrook brides was married to a McFarland. My ole leaky memory kept screaming at me, 1882. 1882?? 1882. Really??
As soon as we returned to Tana for the evening I dug into the data base, and found:
Alexander McFarland, born around 1848 in New York, married February 14, 1878 in Stacyville, Mitchell County, Iowa, died by October 1883, probably in Mitchell County Iowa. Alexander had married Julia Ann(a) Lashbrook. Julia married her second husband Charles Benjamin Cummings on October 15, 1883 in Mitchell County, Iowa.
Alexander and Julia had one son, Ernest. Ernest was born October 1, 1878 in Osage, Mitchell County, Iowa, and died June 15, 1949 in Osage, Mitchell County, Iowa. We learn from Ernest's obituary the following tidbit:
"Mr. McFarland's father died when he was a boy. His father was a tutor in Mitchell. His mother was a Lashbrook and died about 12 years ago."
I have yet to find a death or burial record for Alexander McFarland in or around Mitchell County, Iowa.
There is a booklet you can purchase for the small sum of $2.00 with data on the interments at Boothill Grave Yard. They sell it at the visitor's center/gift shop at the cemetery. In it they give, briefly, information on each burial in the cemetery. The entry for S. McFarland, reads, simply: "S. McFarland, 1882". I was disappointed to be sure.
So, that 1882 date knocking around in my ole leaky memory was close, and the name was close, darn that initial tho, I need an "A", not an "S". It is just a coincidence - - SIGHHHHHHH
Oh, well, got the old genie blood pressure raised up a bit for a few hours. Hopefully when we get back on the grid in a few weeks I will be able to take a few hours and see if there is anything new I can learn about Alexander, seeing that it has been a while since I have searched for him.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SYN), a developer of synthetic biologics and innovative medicines for serious infections and diseases, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and summarized operational highlights.
Operational HighlightsCompleted Successful Capital Raise
Ramping Up Infectious Disease Programs
Strengthened Management Team
"We are making considerable strides in our infectious disease programs, with our progress to develop mAbs for infectious diseases and through our efforts to acquire a C. diff program. Utilizing Intrexon's proprietary mAb technologies, we have successfully initiated development for the first mAb candidate, Acinetobacter, a debilitating multi-drug resistant disease with a multi-billion dollar market opportunity. We expect to hit milestones in the mAb discovery phase for this disease during 2013. In order to quickly advance our infectious disease platform, we've strengthened our R&D management team and Scientific Advisory board, which has enhanced our position in the biotech space," said Jeffrey Riley, Chief Executive Officer of Synthetic Biologics.
"Our recent private placement has increased our cash position, allowing us to further advance our clinical programs, as well as develop our preclinical and discovery projects. We look forward to announcing our additional infectious disease targets, as well as the progress of our C. diff program," concluded Mr. Riley.
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Financial ResultsAs part of management's plan to streamline our focus, we sold the clinical reference lab on March 8, 2012. Laboratory revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were charged to discontinued operations, resulting in no revenues for these periods. In addition, the gain on the sale of the clinical reference lab of $677,000 was included in discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
General and administrative expenses were $1.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $582,000 and $2.3 million for the same periods in 2011. These increases of 84% and 59%, respectively, are primarily the result of additional employee costs, the expansion of our investor relation activities and legal fees. Charges related to stock-based compensation were $279,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $51,000 and $861,000 for the same periods in 2011.
Research and development expenses were $763,000 and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $289,000 and $801,000 for the same periods in 2011. These increases of 164% and 112%, respectively, are primarily the result of additional employee costs and increased program costs associated with our expanded pipeline, including the initiation of development efforts for a monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy for the treatment of Acinetobacter infections and of our preclinical program for the development of a DNA-based therapy for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Charges related to stock-based compensation were $116,000 and $238,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $6,000 and $20,000 for the same periods in 2011.
Other income was $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to other expense of $159,000 for the same period in 2011. Other income was $22,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to other expense of $1.7 million for the same period in 2011. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to the estimated fair value of the warrants associated with the January 2011 and April 2011 financings, adjusted for the change in their fair value at September 30, 2012.
Cash at September 30, 2012 was $4.6 million compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2011. As of October 31, 2012, we had approximately $14.2 million in cash.

Bay State plans for casino gambling are moving ahead like turtles on Ambien.
By law, the licensing process is slow and deliberate. In practice, debate about it tends to be long-winded.
On Tuesday, after a drawn-out discussion about various ways of addressing the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe and its inability to finalize a casino deal, Massachusetts Gaming Commission Chairman Stephen Crosby asked if panel members had "any more convoluted thinking" to offer.
Commissioner James McHugh took issue with the word "convoluted" — he preferred "complex." Crosby conceded the difference; and then, as part of a relatively quick two-hour meeting, commissioners approved a motion to give the tribe 90 more days to come up with a compact.
If it can't, the gaming board may open up a casino license for the southeastern region of Massachusetts to commercial bidders.
Or maybe it won't. Commissioners couldn't decide if the March 15 deadline is a final cut-off date or just a trigger for more talk. The tribe met a July 31 deadline, but the deal hammered out with Governor Deval Patrick was rejected by the federal government.
Casino developers are worried the slow pace puts them at an increasingly competitive disadvantage — especially with New Hampshire lawmakers threatening to quickly take up proposals to expand gambling in that state.
From Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, where he is recovering from a variety of illnesses, Mayor Thomas M. Menino griped that by the time the proposal he favors for Suffolk Downs is taken up, "all the worth of it will be drawn out of it. New Hampshire is ready to go."
Developers behind the Suffolk Downs proposal are surely praying for Menino's speedy recovery after Las Vegas casino builder Steve Wynn expressed interest in a 37-acre parcel in nearby Everett. They need the mayor's muscle in the long, laborious licensing competition that lies ahead.
It has already taken two decades to get to this point.
In November 2011, after a mere 20-plus years of debate, Patrick signed a bill allowing up to three resort-style casinos in Massachusetts and one slots parlor. The next month, Patrick named Crosby to lead the commission.
A year later, the commission is still searching for an executive director after the one it planned on installing last summer ran up against a prior allegation that he had sexually assaulted a 15-year-old boy in Florida. Since then, the commission winnowed down dozens of prospects to a handful of finalists who may or may not be identified by the end of the year. Stay tuned for more controversy over that issue.
Several towns have already rejected casino proposals and the commission is mired in self-described "convoluted thinking" about who should get the license in the southeastern region.
Casino applications are due Jan. 15. Four developers — including those behind Suffolk Downs — have already put in the required $400,000 fee. Wynn has participated in a "scope of licensing" meeting, which signals intent, but has not gone beyond that, according to the commission's communications director, Elaine Driscoll.
Massachusetts' painfully slow pace is great news for casino opponents.
The commission is balancing the need for careful background checks against a desire to expedite the process, said Driscoll. In the meantime, the Massachusetts law was crafted in a way that deliberately slows the process down, she said.
In Ohio, enabling legislation dictated where casinos would be located; the Massachusetts law calls for competitive bids. In Pennsylvania, existing race tracks were grandfathered in, allowing for a quick start-up, which also led to a grand jury investigation. In Maryland, the already existing lottery commission was authorized to license and regulate casinos. In Massachusetts, a new commission was created.
It held its first public meeting in April and, as Driscoll put it, "the smell of new carpet is still in the air." The commission is subject to the open meeting law, so all its deliberations take place in public. That leads to very careful discussion.
The commission plans to first deal with the slots parlor, on the theory that the process will be less complicated and therefore quicker than what's required for a full resort casino. Requiring local approval by a proposed host community, plus dealing with environmental and traffic issues, all add to the complications.
The painfully slow pace is great news for casino opponents — and for competitors everywhere but in Massachusetts.Joan Vennochi can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @Joan_Vennochi.

I have a server which receives a constant stream of data via its serial port. This data needs to be formatted and displayed, in real time, in the form of dials and gauges in one or more client browsers.
I'm new to web development and I am struggling to decide how best to implement this. The server is likely to be running Windows Server 2008, the client PCs Windows 7. As such I am leaning towards using SignalR as a means to provide real time updates to the browsers.
What I'm really unsure of though is how to structure the server side. I need to be listening to the serial port constantly and relaying each message to the browsers. The messages are received at intervals of one each second. My initial thought was to use have an ASP page launch a thread on load. The thread would be responsible for reading data from the serial port and each successful message read would fire off an event to update the web pages. However I'm slightly nervous that this represents bad practice, perhaps I ought to have a seperate C# console application to read messages from the serial port, but how would I have that application communicate with the web pages?
Any suggestions on how best to implement this would be much appreciated.

BBC One - 13 January 2013 Nicky Campbell presides over a special debate recorded at the Harris Academy in Peckham, asking just one Big Question: Is it time f...
Views: 188
You are very welcome Melvinotis. The debate is rather biased towards the theists. They always assume that they have a valid point in that they "do not believe in Evolution". I would have liked to have been in the audience.
Evolution of course is never a matter of belief but only that of understanding. If they studied it properly they too would see the Theory as being factual and being the Truth. Yes 99.8% of modern Scientists are wrong and the YEC's are correct!
There are a few other good debates from that show I will look over and see if they are worth uploading.
The clergyman says we are different from animals because "we have the capacity to conceive god". He got that right!
Well even if every religious organization were to accept evolution tomorrow, it doesn't mean the people in their congregations would; in fact in many cases the preacher would oftentimes find himself preaching to a nearly empty church while some "reformed" church met in someone's house while they raised money to build a new church. Or more than likely the pastor would join them in leaving their church organization, when his bishop (or whoever is his boss) told him the church now accepted "evillution."
Or people would continue to go to that church and ignore the teaching on evolution.
The catholic church has accepted it already and you can see how much good that does.
People would deeply resent being told--even by their church officials--what to think on matters of faith when it doesn't conform to their prior prejudices, and to them that's what this is: a matter of faith. (Which is ironic because being told what to think is how they got there in the first place! The difference being is they were told what to think as children when their minds are still trusting of authority.)
As another example, many of the mainline protestant churches are allowing gays, women, etc. (i.e., people other than straight males) into their leaderships, and all that is happening is a few people who have overcome their bigotry stay in the church and the rest break off. (An old established Presbyterian congregation in my town--as well as eight others--recently voted to break with the main Presbyterian church over this issue, even though there was no requirement that individual churches accept gay pastors. Said vote required 80 percent of the congregation and they got it. So even the rather more "liberal" churches can't force these sorts of reforms down their members' throats.)
Accepting is a battle that must be won in each individual's mind; the top down solution (which let's face it won't happen because the church leaders are just as messed up as their followers) *may* prevent some kids from getting brainwashed but will only help marginally with today's voters and politicians.
Good for the BBC for conducting this debate. Now let's see one held on "Fox News" in Mississippi. I only watched a little of the video - same old same old. Theists, essentially, choose not to believe in evolution because they fear its existential implications. And their arguments boil down to one thing: they don't believe in evolution because they don't understand it.
** "Let the little children come to me, for thus is heaven."
Adult fundies can mess over their own minds with lies like 'intelligent design', a universe created but 6 thousand years ago, and ideological garbage like a critque of modern evolutionary theory -- however, just like xian mores -- those may not be forced on any one by secular law in a secular state which grants no secular power to any religious institution.
Too bad that children in fundie homes and in schools dominated by fundie school boards suffer intellectual backwardness -- the anti-intellectual thrust of all xian sects -- cultural nihilism -- that hatred for Rome's educated overlords almost 2 thousand years ago -- lives on today.
Agreed Rick. I don't care if they don't accept Evolution as being the Truth (which it is). Even in the TV debate posted I was wondering why they were allowed screen time. I mean the only dispute about Evolution is on the side of the YEC's. No modern Evolutionary Scientist really cares about their opinions when they are at work. No more than a gynaecologist would lie awake at night wondering if the stork might actually deliver babies or an astronaut might wonder if the Earth might actually be flat. It reminds me of Dawkins line about not debating them because it would give some appearance of validity to their "science". It looks good on their C.V.'s but not on his.
One part of me thinks it is a good idea to give them air time because it shows they up to be so out of touch that they lose all credibility while on the other hand their asinine preaching and teaching do harm developing minds. It is because of people like this guy here that I am militant in my approach towards the indoctrination of children by YEC fundies. However I am optimistic enough to think that their middle aged beliefs are dying out just as the remaining gods are too. I will do my part to help out.

Results 1 to 3 of 3
WWE House Show Results: Sacramento, California 15.January 2012Follow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
1. R-Truth defeated The Miz. Miz tried to bail early, but Truth chased him down and threw him back inside the ring. A pretty hard hitting match with Miz in control throughout. The finish saw Miz grab a water bottle and try to KO Truth with it, only to miss. This led to Truth hitting his finisher for the three. A good opening match between two guys the crowd was in to.
2. Ryback beat Alex Riley. Ryback (a/k/a Skip Sheffield) is in a black singlet with upper arm-bands with an 'R' on them. No one had any clue who Ryback was, and A-Ry got a decent pop. The match was all about Ryback. He hit a massive torture-rack slam, huge lariat, and Saito suplex before A-Ry tried to come back. Riley hit a few flying clotheslines before getting killed with a spear. A squash for Ryback. He's a beast.
After the match David Otunga came out with a mic and told Alex Riley he sucked. Before Riley could attack, Otunga told him that in just one phone call to Raw Interim GM John Laurinaitis he could have Riley fired. Riley turned around only for Otunga to throw his phone and coffee mug down to lay down the punches. Otunga threw Riley over the top, grabbed his phone and mug, took a sip and left.
3. Brodus Clay beat Tyler Reks. Tyler got zero reaction. Brodus got initial laughs and a slight pop for his Funkalicious entrance. The match began with Brodus dancing and gyrating much to Reks' confusion. Reks eventually went on offense and kicked out Brodus' knees and went to a few submission attempts. Brodus was getting more cheers as Reks wore him down with "Planet Funk" chants. Brodus came back with the headbutt, an exploder suplex, the corner splash, a belly to belly throw, a dancing elbow drop, and finally a dancing Hogan leg-drop to finish. No flying cross-body tonight. Brodus grabbed a sign a danced his way to the back with it. He tweeted a picture of it, if anyone wants to check it out.
4. Air Boom defeated Primo and Epico (w/Rosa) to retain the WWE Tag Titles. I'll admit. This one was hard to pay attention to with Rosa bouncing and gyrating nearly right in front of me. The match was dominated by Primo/Epico with Bourne being the face-in-peril. Bourne was worked over for about 10 minutes before hitting a great huracanrana that sent one Colon into the other. Bourne got the tag, but Kofi was hit with a backstabber for the three!
However, his foot was on the bottom rope, and another ref came out and restarted the match. Right after the restart, Bourne got Backstabbed, the Colons tried and failed a double-team and Kofi hit Trouble in Paradise for the win. Dull match. Bourne's hope spots were fun, but the beatdown lasted too long. No Air Bourne in victory was sad.
Justin Roberts tried to plug a soda, but the arena then went dark. Jericho's jacket let up the top of the stage. He came down slapping hands and smiling. He milked the moment like his original 1/2/12 appearance until he was interrupted by Jack Swagger. Swagger called Sacramento idiots, reminded Jericho he was the one who took his World Heavyweight Title not too long ago, and told him to take off his stupid jacket.
Swagger continued to yell at Jericho until he dejectedly took off his jacket, gingerly put it over the corner and proceed to blast Swagger in the head with the mic. Jericho put Swagger in the Walls of Jericho to wrap this up. I have to say, Jericho's absolutely ripped in the abs. I have or at least cant remember a time he has looked like he does now.
Intermission. Roberts finished the soda pitch he started before Jericho:
5. Beth Phoenix beat Eve to retain the WWE Divas Championship with a Bella Twin as special ref. Beth had lots of fun with a group of fans yelling sexual harassments at her. She kept playfully covering her behind and acting shocked at what people were yelling at her. My favorite was "I WANT YOU TO HAVE MY FOURTH CHILD!"
Beth took control, hitched her skirt up to show her behind to the vocal crew, and went for a GlamSlam. Eve countered into a roll-through hit a weak Beautiful Disaster, and her beautiful moonsault. Bella ref feigned an arm injury and Beth hit the GlamSlam for the win. This was the best Divas match I've seen in a while. Beth seemed to be having a great time playing with the fans, and Eve is also pretty good.
6. John Cena beat Kane by DQ. Cena had a pretty good reaction. Probably 90/10 cheers to boos, but not that loud. Disappointing match. Cena was bouncing around like crazy during simple headlocks. Cena hit his shoulder-blocks, went for the Five Knuckle Shuffle only to get goozled. Kane got sent to the floor and got a chair. He hit Cena for the blatant DQ. He then chokeslammed Cena and started to leave. When he got to the top of the ramp it was announced Cena won. Kane came back and went for a Tombstone only to be reversed into an AA.
7. C.M. Punk defeated Dolph Ziggler to retain the WWE Championship. Ziggler was out first without Vickie. He grabbed a mic and started talking about how he's the best, CM Punk is only cheered because we relate to him, and we will remember this night as the night he wins his first WWE Championship. I love Ziggler's promo style. Punk was out next to big cheers. He played to the crowd, grabbed the mic and said he wants to kick both Ziggler's and Laurinaitis' ass.
I can't say much here. I was way into this match! A few of the best spots were Punk hitting a sit-out powerbomb, which saw Ziggler spit his gum some 10/15 feet into the air upon impact for a two count. And when Punk went for a GTS, Ziggler countered into a Fame-ass-er. Look for that in a future PPV, it was beautiful!
Ziggler eventually ripped the turnbuckle cover off, and the ref got KO'ed. Otunga came out again and was tutoring the new ref while Ziggler hit Punk with two chairshots. Otunga shoved the ref in and demanded he count for a two. Otunga got in the ring, berated the ref, and took the GTS. Ziggler hit the Zig Zag for a great nearfall. Punk sent Ziggler into the previously exposed turnbuckle for the three!

Membership: Spot, assess, recruit
American Legion Post 295 in Germantown, Md., had 27 members when Bob Ouellette transferred there 13 years ago. Now, the post currently boasts 466 members. And for the current membership year, the post will surpass 129 percent. Ouellette attributes the tremendous growth and recruiting success to "working harder than other posts and going out in the community to seek new members," he said. "Every Legionnaire has the ability to stop the slide because you believe in The American Legion."
Members of Post 295 are active in their community by serving food to family members of wounded warriors at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, and by attending events that draw like-minded people such as Rolling Thunder, the Military Bowl Parade and job fairs for veterans. During the most recent job fair that Post 295 members attended, 54 new members were recruited in four hours.
"To achieve this success, Post 295 members have used sales techniques and our knowledge of American Legion programs to break down barriers to membership," Ouellette said. "And we use another technique that we developed called Spot, Assess and Recruit (SAR).
Spot: 'Hello, did you serve or are you currently serving in the military?' Assess: Listen to their response to see if they meet the Legion's membership dates. Recruit: 'Thank you for your service! What Legion post do you belong to?' If they don't belong to one, explain the benefits of membership. The American Legion has something to offer everyone."

Donald David Bennett, a 13th-generation member of the Bennett family and a lifelong East Hampton resident, died at home in East Hampton Village on May 7. He was 77, and had been ill for some time.
A three-term chief of the East Hampton Fire Department, where he was a member of Engine Company 2 for 56 years, and a founding member of the East Hampton Ambulance Association, he served East Hampton Village as its fire inspector and as its building inspector until his retirement in 1997.
Mr. Bennett's "main dedication" was to his family, members said. He was married for 54 years to Mary Jean Bennett, who survives. The couple had three sons and a daughter, who also survive. They are Matthew David Bennett, Vernon James Bennett, and Andrew Fitzgerald Bennett, all of East Hampton, and Donna Marie Boss of Coventry, R.I.
A sister, Joan Bennett Dobricki of Syracuse, and three grandchildren, who called him Beppo, a family nickname originating with his grandfather, also survive.
He was born on Aug. 10, 1933, at the family house on Cedar Street, the son of Vernon Ryder Bennett and Angela Fitzgerald Bennett.
As a teenager, he worked on the printing press at The East Hampton Star, but after graduating from East Hampton High School in 1951, he enlisted in the Navy, and served aboard the U.S.S. Hornet during the Korean War.
Upon returning home, Mr. Bennett went to work as a carpenter at Bennett-Waslow Building, the construction company his father had with a partner, then returned to work at The Star, at the request of Jeannette Edwards Rattray, the paper's editor, his family said.
During the 1960s, Mr. Bennett worked at Country Towne Associates, a printing business in Southampton that he later purchased with two partners, George Draker and Harold Chapman.
Mr. Bennett was proud of his long membership in the fire department, which his family called "one of his life's passions."
When a consultant made a recommendation to East Hampton Village Mayor Ron Rioux that the village have a fire inspector, Mr. Bennett stepped down from his third term as fire chief to take the post. Later, as the village building inspector, he oversaw the construction of the Emergency Services Building on Cedar Street.
A wake was held on May 10 at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton. A service took place at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton on May 11 with the Rev. Donald Hanson presiding. Burial followed at Most Holy Trinity Cemetery, also in East Hampton.
The family has suggested memorial contributions to the Wounded Warrior Project, 7021 AC Skinner Parkway, Suite 100, Jacksonville, Fla. 32256, to American Legion Post 419, P.O. Box 1343, East Hampton 11937, Everit Albert Herter Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 550, P.O. Box 5033, East Hampton 11937, or to the East Hampton Fire Department, 1 Cedar Street, East Hampton 11937.

The board of ailing surfwear company Billabong needs to ask only one central question - is the management able to revive the company's financial fortunes or should the directors do all they can to encourage a proposed offer of $1.10 a share organised by one of its own directors?
There is no doubt that Billabong faces enormous challenges and that a couple of its large institutional shareholders do not share the board's faith in the newly installed chief executive, Launa Inman.
These shareholders were supportive of previous attempts by private equity firms to bid for the company. Clearly they want out, even though they will take a substantial loss on their holdings.
The various overtures of interest received earlier this year - a couple from private equity firm TPG and one from Bain - were either rejected by the company or abandoned by the suitors after they had undertaken due diligence.
Unlike most corporate bids, the revised offers or new offers have come in lower rather than higher.
In Billabong's case this is not all that surprising. Its announcements to the stock exchange have been littered with profit downgrades, debt problems, assets sales and an equity issue.
Only a few months ago TPG walked away having looked under Billabong's bonnet - and it saw something that neither it nor the company elaborated on.
On Wednesday some of the fog around this situation lifted when the retailer announced yet another profit downgrade. It now expects this year's trading result to come in about 16 per cent below what it told the market only a few months ago.
After all the significant (loss) items that will occur this year, the revised profit forecast is almost 50 per cent lower. And there was a clear indication that the board will need to look at the book value of assets, which means the losses could be far larger.
(In Billabong's books the net assets are about $1 billion. The market values the same assets at less than half this amount.)
Billabong was busy defending its disclosure credentials on Wednesday, saying it only last week became aware of deteriorating profits.
If this is true its position is even more worrisome because it suggests there is little visibility about future performance - its grip on the business is loosening.
Meanwhile, none of this should have come as much of a surprise to the new bidder, a private equity consortium led by Billabong's executive director and head of its US business, Paul Naude.
He knows there is more fundamentally wrong with the company than can be fixed with fresh spark plugs and a spray of paint.
His offer made over the weekend was conditional on, among other things, no material adverse change in Billabong.
The profit downgrade would have breached that condition but he will push on regardless.
In reality, he now has no choice. He was part of and loyal to the old Billabong guard and may have had a questionable future, which could have been threatened by Inman's broom.
Having moved outside the tent there was never any coming back for Naude.
But the board now needs to decide whether Naude's offer is sufficiently generous to allow him and his team of financiers access to the real numbers - or due diligence as it is referred to in the corporate trade.
In essence, a private equity vehicle will try to pull this company apart and put it back together again by cutting costs and selling businesses.
Many of the strategies Naude will employ are the same ones that Inman is looking at, but none have received much traction to date. If he and his team is are offering $1.10 a share it is probably worth more to him.
History has clearly shown where previous Billabong managements have made mistakes. The simplest explanation is that they overspent on brand acquisitions, whose costs ballooned but whose revenues didn't - a classic pincer crunch.
Billabong also invested in the retail supply chain by buying its own stores and ladling on corporate debt in the process.
The deteriorating retail conditions across the globe cemented the problem.
The Billabong brand still has strong levels of awareness and relevance but only in a couple of areas of the apparel market, such as board shorts.
The brand is anchored through sponsorships around surfing and skiing, which allows it some cachet, but teenage girls are not swayed by this marketing when it comes to buying T-shirts. In other words, it is a mass market brand that is focusing on niche markets.
The brand has not been successfully amortised across a broader range of apparel where there is loads of competition.
A few years ago it would have been considered laughable that anyone would bid $1.10 for Billabong. In January last year the shares were trading about $6.90. The share price graph over that period shows it has fallen off several cliffs.
Presumably Naude believes he can stage some kind of revival if he can gets his hands on the management and away from the glare of the listed marketplace.
Billabong still struggles under wave after wave
The board of ailing surfwear company Billabong needs to ask only one central question - is the management able to revive the company's financial fortunes or should the directors do all they can to encourage a proposed offer of $1.10 a share organised by one of its own directors?

Hebrew word lookups
Posted 16 May 2005 - 08:55 AM
Posted 16 May 2005 - 09:17 AM
1) For simply viewing the original hebrew word, it should appear automatically in your Instant Details window as you move your mouse around.
2) To actually look it up, you can select the word (double click), hold the option key down, and select whatever Hebrew Dictionary you want from the Resource Palette. Without the option key, it simply looks up the selected english word.

When I'm reading the Old Testament (KJV with tags) and come to an English word for which I would like to immediately see the equivalent Hebrew word, I triple click on the word which brings up a Strong's window. Then I triple click on the Hebrew equivalent within the Strong's window which opens another Strong's window. Then I change my menu selection in that window to BDB or TWOT and click OK. Is there a better way?
In addition to the suggestions Joel made, you need to understand that the resources which come up whenever you triple-click are those which are at the TOP of each list of modules. I'm guessing that if you click and hold on the Hebrew Tools pop-up button on the Resource palette, you'll see Hebrew Strong's at the top of the list, followed by BDB and TWOT. That's why you get Hebrew Strong's opening whenever you triple-click a Hebrew word.
If you want TWOT or BDB to open when you striple-click a Hebrew word, you simply need to move one of those modules up to the top of the list of Hebrew Tools. To do this, choose Tools... from the Edit Modules submenu of the Edit menu. A dialog will open enabling you to select each category of Tool and rearrange the order of modules in each category. Select Hebrew Tools from the Category pop-up, and then move BDB or TWOT to the top of the list by selecting it and clicking the Up button. When you're done, click OK.
Now, whenever you triple-click a word with Strong's numbers, you'll still get the Hebrew Strong's dictionary to open. But when you triple-click on a Hebrew word in the Strong's Dictionary, you'll get BDB or TWOT.
If you want to circumvent going through the Hebrew Strong's dictionary, simply follow Joel's suggestion of selecting the word you want to look up, holding down the option key, and selecting TWOT or BDB from the Hebrew Tools pop-up menu. Or, now that you have one of those at the top of the list, you can just option-click the Hebrew Tools button without having to wait for the drop-down menu to appear.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, but the problem with selecting the English word and using the Hebrew tools in the resource pallette is that it just gives a Hebrew equivalent for the English word, but perhaps not the actual word used in that particular instance. The Strong's number does identify the actual word used in that verse.
You missed the fact that Joel suggested you hold down the OPTION key when you select the Hebrew dictionary. Holding down the option key tells Accordance not to look up the English word selected, but the Hebrew word represented by the Strong's number. If you option click, you will get the definition for the actual word used in the verse.
Hope this helps.

Healthy in an unhealthy market
While America has been suffering through an unprecedented crisis in housing loan defaults, the VA Home Loan Guaranty Program has remained healthy.
"The American Legion has been very pleased to watch the performance of VA loans during the unprecedented downturn in the mortgage marketplace over the last two and a half years," said Joe Sharpe, the Legion's Economic Division director.
Sharpe testified on VA's home loan program May 20 before the House Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, chaired by Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, D-S.D.
According to The Mortgage Bankers Association, the delinquency rate for subprime loans stands at 30 percent, while only 5 percent of veterans have defaulted on their VA home loans. The prime loan delinquency rate is 7 percent while FHA defaults stand at about 9 percent.
"This data clearly shows that VA loans are performing better than all other mortgage loan types in the marketplace," Sharpe told the subcommittee. He attributed such favorable performance to several factors:
• While other lenders compromised their standards to generate more business, VA has maintained its prudently crafted credit underwriting standards.• VA selects home appraisers from its own approved list; it does not allow lenders to choose appraisers, as is common in the mortgage industry.• VA has an aggressive and comprehensive program to help veterans who are unable to make loan payments.• Veterans and servicemembers are usually more responsible borrowers because of discipline and maturity developed through their military service.
One problem The American Legion wants to eliminate is VA's current practice of charging veterans a "funding fee" that was introduced in 1982.
"Unfortunately, this fee has become a fixture of the home loan program and - even more unfortunately - it has been raised numerous times by Congress," Sharpe said.
Currently, veterans using the program for the first time must pay 2.15 percent of the loan amount and 3.3 percent for the second time (i.e., $4,300 or $6,600 for a $200,000 loan).
Sharpe told the subcommittee that The American Legion wants Congress "to consider either eliminating this fee or significantly reducing it.
"Veterans should not have to make such a significant financial sacrifice in order to use a benefit that they have earned as a result of their service to America," he said.
The American Legion also wants VA's home loan program extended to the spouses of deceased veterans - regardless of what maladies they died from. "It is unfair for a veteran's spouse only to become eligible for the home loan if a veteran dies of a service-connected disability," Sharpe said.
The VA home loan program has had a resurgence since fiscal 2007, when it guaranteed only 137,297 loans. Sharpe noted that VA guaranteed 325,673 home loans in fiscal 2009. "It looks like VA is on track to match last year's high volume during fiscal year 2010," he said.
The substantial increase in VA home loans can be partially attributed to the fact that other lenders stopped offering riskier "no down payment" packages once the mortgage crisis hit, Sharpe explained.
Another reason VA's home loan program has gained more customers is because it now uses automated underwriting systems that are preferred by lenders, Sharpe told the subcommittee. These systems reduce significantly the time needed to process a loan application, and VA has maintained the integrity of its underwriting process by requiring its own standards to be written into the systems' software.

2002 Football
verizon nominations
Four Bluffton football players nominated for Verizon Academic All-America honorsBy Tim Stried, SID
October 22, 2002
Four Bluffton College football players have been nominated for the Verizon Academic All-America team, including junior wide receiver Jimmy Dwenger (Minster), senior quarterback Brad Moore (Norwalk), senior defensive back Cam Staley (Lima/Bath) and senior defensive end Brian Steiner (Rawson/Cory-Rawson).
The All-District team will be released November 14 and the All-America team will be released December 2. The honorees are selected by a vote conducted by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Nominees must be of at least sophomore status, carry a minimum grade point average 3.2 and be standout performers for their respective teams, as well.
All four of Bluffton's nominees were also nominated for this honor last season.
Dwenger, a business major, carries the highest GPA on the team and was named Academic All-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference last season. Last season he caught 19 passes for 274 yards and five touchdowns, while this season he already has 16 catches for 280 yards and two TD's.
Moore, a communication major, is a captain this season and was named first-team All-HCAC as a sophomore and junior. He already ranks fourth in BC history in passing yards (4,457) and TD passes (34). Voted Bluffton's co-MVP last season, so far in 2002 he has completed 60.1% of his passes for 1,047 yards and six TD's.
Staley, a criminal justice and communication major, is a captain and was named Academic All-HCAC last season and is among the HCAC leaders this season in both interceptions (3) and passes broken up (6). He ranked fifth on the team in tackles last season and holds that ranking this season, as well.
Steiner, a sport management major, was a second team Verizon Academic All-District selection last season and earned Academic All-HCAC honors. He is a captain this season and was sixth on the team in tackles last season and so far this season.

I have a problem with Dolphin in KDE 4.6 where it displays my non-Arch partitions (a / and /home used for Opensuse) as well as a CD-Rom or usb if inserted, but registers an error when I click on the device/partition icon. Specifically, I get the following error displayed at the bottom of Dolphin:
An error occurred while accessing Hard Drive, the system responded: org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed: Error creating mount point: No such file or directory.
Because of this error, I am unable to mount usb pendrives, access CDs, or access the non-Arch partitions. I'm not sure if this is a KDE error or if it related to Arch as I never encountered this error running KDE 4.6 in Opensuse.
My daemons running in /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus networkmanager netfs crond alsa kdm)
My /etc/fstab

Now, I don't have hal running as a daemon as I have read that it is no longer needed in KDE 4.6. Similarly, I don't have my CD-Rom drive mounted as I read in the udev wiki that Udisks automatically mounts devices and partitions. The wiki also indicates that Udisks is supposed to require little configuration.
I've searched the forum and Google, and I have not been able to find any information documenting a Dolphin and UDisks mounting error in KDE 4.6.
I installed KDE through the # pacman -S kde command, but is there some other package that I need to install in order to get Udisks working properly?

Check the Wiki on how to hide unnecesarry partitions,
The same goes for mounting external drives (disk, usb flash etc.): you need to change udev rule so that you be able to mount/umount partitions as non-root user.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 84#p884384 read the entire page, there's more info few messages after that one
Thank you for the response. I checked the KDE (unstable) thread that you referenced. I tried adding a
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/60-localauthority.conf and
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/my-polkit-udisks.pkl file as suggested. It didn't change the error message that I was getting.
I also tried changing permissions in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy . That didn't get rid of the error message either.
I'm not getting any permission denied messages in Dolphin either or prompts to enter a root password. It seems that that error is that UDisks isn't properly mounting the usb drives and the other partitions.
I read the Wiki on Udev, and I'm not entirely clear on how to define a mounting policy since the wiki states that KDE 4.6 should auto-mount all media. Would a possible solution be to change the udev rules?
Well, first thing that comes to my mind is : are you (user) a member of "storage" group?
"Error creating mount point: " in most of cases usually means that there is some kind of a problem with permissions.
When I enter $ groups in a terminal I get the following
sys adm disk lp wheel games video audio optical storage power users
So I'm definitely part of the storage group.
I think I found a solution. I created a /data mountpoint in fstab and a /data folder in my root directory. Now, I'm able to mount and access the contents of the /home partition from Opensuse. The reason I wanted to do this was to access music and photos and transfer them onto my Arch /home partition.
I uncommented the cdrom, dvd, and fd0 devices in fstab and I created /media/cd, /media/dvd, and /media/fl. After inputting a # mount -a, my CDROM drive reads properly as does my USB.
So once again, thank, you for pointing me in the right direction.
One final thought. I was under the impression from reading the UDisks information that it automatically detected and mounted other partitions and devices without them being explicitly mounted in fstab. Was the assumption wrong? In other words, for UDisks and Dolphin to work together properly in KDE 4.6, do all of the devices that appear have to first be mounted in fstab?
I'm glad I could help, though, to be honest, I wasn't much of a help.
Yes, you should not need those extra lines in fstab. I do not have them (only entries for /, /home and /var partitions), and KDE+UDisk works just as it's supposed to (only modified rules to mount external devices as user and hided sistem partions, as described above).
So I'm a bit confused about what exactly happened in your case...but as long as the solution works.

Was the assumption wrong? In other words, for UDisks and Dolphin to work together properly in KDE 4.6, do all of the devices that appear have to first be mounted in fstab?
No, they shouldn´t need to be in fstab: There are two actions from udisk for internal and external storage. If you have allowed these actions for you (or a group you are in) using a pkla, mounting should work.
IMHO, your solution is merely a workaround: you should try to find out why it tries to mount to /data and fix that. It´s probably a wrong udev configuration.
Thanks for your insight. I mounted the other partition into /data because it wouldn't mount through Udisks automatically. In other words, there was no default mount to /data; it was just my work around. I tried to edit/create some pkla files, as I illustrated above, but had no success. Do you any insight into which pkla I would have to edit?
Hmmm, i don´t think that "org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed: Error creating mount point: No such file or directory." can be fixed by editing a pkla file. Does any logfile contain information which directory could not be created? When you have fixed that error and get permission errors instead, then you have to edit a pkla file.
This is my /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/mount.pkla:
[Mount system internal media for group storage]
Thank you again for your help. You pointed me to the magic pkla file that was the source of my problems. For some reason, my /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/mount.pkla was empty. I added the text you provided to the pkla file, and voila, Udisks is now mounting everything. I uncommented my other drives from fstab, and Udisks is now doing the job without a problem. Thanks again.
Nice, but I don't really understand why this fixed it.
AFAIK arch does not provide a default pkla file for allowing mounting to the storage group. You shouldn´t have had an empty file but no file at all. As a point of interest for me: where does UDisk mount the partitions and what´s the permission of that folder?
Hello all.
I had the same problem. However I do not have the file /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/mount.pkla on my system.
I solved the problem by creating the folder "media" on /, which did not exist.
Edit: I think I've found the reason why there was no media folder on my system.
I had installed hal and, apparently, when you remove the hal deletes the folder media.
After some research I found this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23089.
I hope not delete anything else ...

Draugel and Adrenas,
To clarify, I should have said that my pkla file was non-existent, rather than empty. So what I did was really create a new /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/mount.pkla file.
Thanks a million for this hint. Have not found it anywhere else.
It actually saved my day on xfce box.

Good news - my son's baseball game is at 12:30 pm, so I can probably hit the road by 3:00 pm at the latest, and be at Batsto by 4:30 pm.
So, SilentOrpheus, can you make it to Lower Forge? Do I need to carry some of your gear to help you make it? I'm a crippled old man rehabbing from a torn MCL but I'm feeling mighty sprightly after a few days of physical therapy.
We could always drop a car off not far from Lower Forge (there's a parking lot for the horsey set not a mile from there) and you could slack pack.
Yeah, I think I'm in. I was actually thinking Atsion to Lower Forge. Down the Mullica trail, cut over to Quakerbridge, and up to Lower Forge - according to the map I have that should be 5.7 miles.
Guess I should order a new pack - sold my golite, so I need a new one. I'll get on that.
Gimme a call or shoot me a PM, and we can discuss.
It's somewhat official. Atsion to Lower Forge (5.7 miles) sometime on Saturday, 4/27 - overnight, then back out on Sunday.
Campsite is filling up fast it looks like, but all are welcome.

Good stuff medford, I really enjoyed reading that.
You are absolutely right about timing.
I really dont know how many mid-major head coaches have made the jump to big time programs and had success. Bill Self, Steve Alford, Matt Painter, Kevin Stallings, etc.... But I would presume more have failed....Todd Licklighter, Barry Collier, John Pelfrey, Dan Munson...etc.... Just throwing names out there off the top of my head that I am familiar with.
I really like what Matta did. He inheritated a good program at Butler. Continued with their success. Jumped to Xavier, once again taking over a good program. Excelled with their success. Jumped to OSU, a program that was reeling and built them to their former days.
Matta sort of "climbed the ladder". I really think that there are stepping stones for Groce available this year. If the guy can coach, he will succeed. And then become even a bigger comodity.
I dont know of all the schools that have vacancies right now, but I know there are a few out there that would be a step above Ohio and a step below Illinois.
But at the end of the day sometimes it becomes about timing and money.

12 Hours of Lodi Farms... a snippet before the full tale
the 12 hours of lodi farms was held this weekend past...
for those that do not know this is a grass roots mountain race in Fredericksburg Virginia
TeamBikeWorks 9th year of hosting this awesome event
this is a race that starts at midnight on a saturday night ending at noon on sunday the next day
run like a relay race
the team doing the most last wins
there are a variety of classes
in short.... one, two, or three person teams
I raced on a three person single speed team
I botched the race on my first lap
still at my camp slamming a GU with a RED BULL chaser I heard the announcer at the Start/Finish pit calling my number
as to be expected Chris Redlack put in a fast lap....
with the camping within shouting distance of the start/finish area I shouted that I was headed over
when I arrived Chris had already left for a second lap
for lap three... my first lap I was on time for the transition
I raced my lap with caution in the mud and on the slippery roots
it took great effort to complete a solid lap
I rolled into the start finish area turning off my HID light as so not to blind anyone
as I rolled in I shouted 107
scanned the bodies for our third racer Jonathan
shouted 107 again
started to panic that I would have to go out for a back to back lap
a tad panicked a tad confused
I shouted out 107 again
a body came running forward
a non-descript body dressed in cycling gear approached saying 107
taking the baton and heading out
I went back to my car and climbed on back of a bed two thermarests thick and put my legs up with the radio and the heat cranked
15 minutes into my inbetween laps rest session there was a face at my window
it was Jonathan
shirtless I jumped from the car
"where is the baton?"
"I need the batan!"
"I didn't give you the baton?"
I put a shirt on and went to the start finish
we sorted things out
we sent out our rider after 20 minutes in limbo
20 minute set back
pretty much botching our race in two sloppy transitions
one rookie mistake of being late to the transition
another unheard of mistake of passing the baton to a stranger from another team
we race hard to get back into the game
we worked our way back into third
then the fourth place team bumped us out
we fought back
but landed in fourth at the end of the race
it was a great event
race course and camping with friends
an odd site seeing all the laptops and portable televisions playing around the campground
but still plenty of socializing to be had
fatmarc and his spot brand whores took first in the Single Speed Three Man Class
rickyd and chris were part of the three man team that took second
jonathan of the family bike shop was the captain of the third place team
more on this event to come

Definately a fun time. I was riding scared thinking you guys were gonna roll up on me my last two laps. I was faster knowing I was being chased. A good time was certainly had by all. See ya at the next one.

indeed that first lap was the hardest. even with a pre-ride the dark + wet changed the equation a lot.
either way, a great event all around.

Some may say Eddie and Tracy Montgomery are living the dream. Eddie is half of the multi-platinum selling country group Montgomery Gentry.
He's used to the spotlight, but when it comes to Montgomery's family it's a different story. Recently an incident outside the Montgomery's Central Kentucky home has Eddie fearful for his family's safety.
Earlier this week neighbors say they spotted a green mini-van parked outside the couple's Boyle County farm. Eddie and Tracey say the same van was also seen following a school bus while their children were onboard. Then one day when the Montgomery's 11 year old son stepped off his bus someone in the van yelled out. Montgomery says the strangers in the van called his son by name. Terrified, the boy ran down his driveway and into the house.
Police say they looked into the situation and say the two men in the van were just star struck fans and don't have a criminal record. Still Eddie says they're not sure what the men were up to. The Montgomerys say they just want other parents to be on the look out for anything unusual happening in the area.
When it comes to fans, Eddie says he welcomes them talking to him but not his children.

The city of Chillicothe was covered in a blanket of white this morning (Wednesday), as persons traveled to their places of work, and buses transported students to a day of school despite the snow and ice. In Simpson Park, the leaves and branches of trees were lined with droplets of freezing snow. Snow continued throughout the morning, prompting the Chillicothe School District to issue an early out, with classes dismissing at 1 p.m. Temperatures were expected to remain below freezing throughout the day, staying at a steady 26-27 degrees, then beginning to dip at 6 p.m., until they reach the teens on Thursday, and then into the single digits overnight, and into early Friday morning. Chillicothe received 1.48 inches of moisture (mostly in the form of rain on Tuesday) for the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. today.
