Homer Meade stands up for justice
STOCKBRIDGE -- By any rational measure, Dr. Homer "Skip" Meade has led a charmed life. An intellectual life. A life that has always examined truth and decency.
For more than 40 years, the W.E.B. Du Bois scholar and Cornell University graduate has made his home in Western Massachusetts. He has taught in local and regional schools, served as a member of the W.E.B Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and been involved in crafting curriculum and teacher standards to ensure future academic excellence for a new generation of Americans.
So it is difficult to imagine him, now wearing the uniform of professorial distinction, ever carrying a rifle and wearing the garb of revolution. Risking his own life to gain a valid education for others. That is his truth, as well.
Meade is among 24 distinguished local African-American men who will speak at Pittsfield High School on Friday in celebration of Black History Month.
His father was a professor and Boy Scout executive, and he began to train black youth in the skills they needed to obtain advancement; his mother, the director of youth services of the Morristown Neighborhood House, where she grew an organization that provided child care, daycare and after-school programming for families -- many of them immigrants -- in transition. It's an organization that continues to this day.
"I benefitted from all of that," said Meade. "They wanted those examples to be understood and inculcated by me, that there was a purpose and that certain individuals within the culture had certain things they had to recognize and live up to. He had been class president; he had gotten an appointment to West Point but ended up attending Cornell University.
"What I found at Cornell was an absence of inclusion of individuals of color in activities which had included them," he explained. "A most striking example of this was Du Bois. But within science, within literature, within those expressions even of architecture there needed to be reference to a broader inclusion and process, and that's what all the upset at Cornell was about."
His life could easily have ended one day in April 1969, when racial tensions at Cornell came to head and a group of African-American students took over Willard Straight Hall in advance of a parents' weekend. Straight Hall, a student union building, also served as a hotel for visiting parents and dignitaries on the Ithaca campus and would be teaming with people.
It started out as a peaceful protest, not unlike other sit-ins that had taken place around the country. However, when members of a fraternity tried and failed to forcibly evict the demonstrators, some occupiers left and returned with guns for protection -- Meade among them. He returned to the Straight with a 30:30 rifle.
"If they didn't meet demands, and we weren't going; it was up to them to get us out," said Meade, noting that the climate of fear at the time played a pivotal role in student resolve.
"Orangeburg S. Carolina was a black institution," he said, "and in '65-'66 they had demonstrated because the bowling alleys were segregated. And when they got back to the dorms, police -- either state or local police -- arrived and began firing in dorm windows. Several students were killed.
"Those reports. The three civil rights workers, Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King and even Bobby Kennedy there was a real demonstration that the lives of certain individuals had no reason to be respected. I was clear. I knew what I had to do. It's a moment, yes, but there were many, many things that lead up to that."
Just before the takeover of Willard Straight Hall, a cross burned on the grounds of a women's dormitory, spurring the need for immediacy.
"Nothing we saw (in the response from Cornell officials) addressed that," he said. "The university couldn't provide better security, so we said 'We'll protect ourselves.' "
Meade knew the potential consequences. He knew what would happen if the school turned to state troopers or the National Guard to handle the situation, and he had prepared himself for the worst.
Looking up at a photograph made of him after the takeover had ended -- an iconic image that had appeared in Newsweek and which showed Meade and other protestors carrying guns and wearing ammunition belts as they left Straight Hall -- he describes the moment and the appearance of his younger self, wrapped in a shroud and carrying a rifle at the ready.
"I don't take this picture lightly," he explained. "I wanted my parents to understand that I had prepared for what was coming. I went up to a room -- there were guest rooms in the Straight -- and showered and cleaned from all the exertion and sweat that I'd been involved in that day in securing the building. I'd thrown away most of the garb and took a bedspread and folded it and cut here and here, laced with a sheet, so dad would know when he came that I'd prepared myself."
That moment caught on film, and all the decisions that had led to it, were life-changing, not only for Meade, but for countless students who have followed him. Meade credits the university's provost for his courage in not only brokering a peaceful end to uprising but also realizing the truth of the situation: That while the university had moved to diversify its campus, it hadn't adequately prepared systems that would support that diversity and nurture its success.
"We were very lucky to have a provost (Dale Corson) who understood all that. Truly understood it. It's amazing to think back about it now, back in '66, '67, '68, how attuned he was to facing a monolithic structure. He was able to start programs bringing in minority scholars to the university, to alleviate that which had been long ignored. Saying 'ignored' is maybe stating too much intention. It was just part of the process.
"These professors who believed they were in an ivory tower. Here were students who had been brought into this new recruitment program and put into an economics course and told what the urban economic problem was, and here were these students who came from that urban landscape saying 'that's bullshit.' "
Corson persuaded the president to allow him to handle the uprising within the university and not to call outside authorities. The result was a peaceful end of the situation and a change of policy that allowed the creation of the the Africana Studies and Research Center, which is still vital today.
Meade still marvels at the outcome and what could have been a very different ending to his story. But he knows such this truth -- like physics -- isn't relative.
"If there is an injustice, we have to right it. When there is justice, then we need to promulgate it," he said. "It's not enough to do. To understand the impact of the impact so we can be true and contributive citizens. There needs to be movement of knowledge. That's what I've done."

Top Truck Challenge 2014: 10 Questions For Competitor #14 Jeff NogglePosted in Top Truck Challenge: 2014 on May 14, 2014
Photographers: Courtesy Of The Vehicle Owners
Ten Questions for Top Truck Challenge competitor #14 Jeff Noggle, Medford, Oregon, '92 GMC K1500Q Why do you want to compete in TTC?
A. "I want to compete in Top Truck Challenge because I have been watching these videos since I was 14 years old and have wanted to do it since the first one I seen. Top Truck Challenge events are similar to southern Oregon's type of wheeling with deep ruts, water bars, logs, and deep water." Q. What TTC event are you most looking forward to?
A. "I'm mostly looking forward to the Tank Trap because it's a lot like local wheeling to me and has always looked like an awesome trail that causes lots of carnage." Q. What TTC event are you not looking forward to?
A. "I'm not looking forward to the Frame Twister, mainly because not very many rigs ever make it through there without winching and/or breaking." Q. Are you making changes to your rig before TTC?
A. "I'm in the middle of an engine swap currently on the truck and otherwise just waterproofing stuff. Some more braces, repairing the cruise control, and charging my A/C 'cause it's gonna be a long drive to Hollister." Q. Will you and your spotter/co-driver be training for TTC?
A. "My spotter/co-driver and I will not be doing any practicing." Q. If you could go wheeling anywhere in the world, where would that be, and why?
A. "If I could go wheeling anywhere in the world I would have to say Top Truck Challenge (Hollister Hills) and then Ultimate Adventure BECAUSE they are the two events you have to basically be invited to. Other places you just have to want it bad enough to save the money up and go." Q. What's playing on your iPod/CD player right now?
A. "There's only two kinds of music, Country and Western!!!!!" Q. What was the last movie you watched?
A. "The last movie I watched was The Hangover." Q. Do you have an aversion to poison oak, earthquakes, or a submerged engine?
A. "I do get poison oak pretty bad, but definitely not afraid of it or a submerged engine, and earthquakes would be fun!!!" Q. What's one thing people should know about you?
A. "I have an amazing girlfriend and two beautiful children."

These homes are in places that get blanketed in snow, and they all seem to be designed for maximum enjoyment of winter weather. Occupants can sit and watch snow fall while warming in front of the fire, from bed, or from the bathtub or hot tub.
While this collection is called Million-Dollar Winter Wonderland Homes, these houses only start at a million—actually about $1.5 million—and from there soar up to multi-multi-million dollar prices. Many of the following selections, provided by Trulia, are ski homes of recent vintage, but a few classic examples are over 150 years old.
They are mansions and lodges designed for residents who take advantage of the winter weather and those who are content to stick inside and let it snow. Here they are, beginning with a comparatively bargain-priced New England Victorian and going up from there.

Project Olds Dumps Its Drums For A Set Of Monster Four-Piston Binders From Baer
After installing a complete DSE tubular front and rear suspension kit on our '65 Olds Cutlass in the prior two issues, we stood in awe as the full-frame A-body tipped the scales at a surprisingly unsubstantial 3,408 pounds. The euphoria was short-lived, however, as the needle crept back up to 3,648 pounds after owner/photographer Robert McGaffin hopped into the driver seat. Furthermore, that number will only continue to climb after the Cutlass's 330ci mill is yanked for a 455 big-block in the future. With the DSE suspension now providing serious lateral grip, and a 500hp big-block in the works that's sure to crank out plenty of forward grunt, Project Olds now needs a big set of clamps in order to live up to its autocrossing aspirations.
As luck would have it, Baer just happened to be putting the finishing touches on its new line of Track-4 front big brake kits around the time Project Olds developed a craving for serious negative g's. In the past, Baer offered its popular two-piston Track kits for street and light-duty race applications, while its six-piston Extreme systems catered to hard-core road racers. The new Track-4 setup falls right between the two, splitting the difference between full race and full street, which describes the purpose of our Cutlass project car perfectly. The kit features 13-inch rotors, four-piston calipers, ceramic pads, stainless steel braided lines, and T-6061 billet aluminum mounting brackets and hubs. The Track-4 system should be available for most muscle cars by the time you read this, and with prices starting at just $1,095, it packs some big-time value.
That said, simply mentioning the Track-4's piston count and rotor diameter doesn't do this system justice. Based on a rugged six-bolt architecture, the two-piece caliper body is remarkably stiff for reduced deflection and improved clamping force. Furthermore, an internal fluid passage eliminates the need for an external crossover tube between each caliper half, lending an ultra-clean appearance. Since the Track-4 system is design for mixed street and track use, it uses ceramic pads that minimize dust and noise without compromising bite. Unlike race-only pads, they require very little heat to get up to proper operating temperature, yet maintain thermal stability up to 1,385 degrees. And when it comes time to swap out those pads, the Track-4 calipers are compatible with all '98-02 Camaro pad fitments. That means dozens of pad compounds from a plethora of manufacturers are at your disposal.
Since the Olds' posterior shouldn't get a free ride, we matched the beefy four-pot front setup with Baer's single-piston standard Track setup in the rear. To assist with the install, we once again turned to Brent Jarvis and the team at Performance Restorations in Mundelein, Illinois. Bolting up the front and rear kits is as easy as it gets, and it all went together in one day. When the wrenches stopped turning, Project Olds boasted a monster set of clamps at each corner for $2,670, a sum you could easily spend for just the fronts.

Breaking Them In
The purpose of breaking in a new brake system is to burn off residual machining oils off the rotor surface, and relieving the internal stresses inside the rotor before subjecting them to extreme temperatures. Baer recommends easy street driving for the first 400-500 miles, with a minimum of 8-10 normal heat cycles. Zinc-plated rotors, like the ones on our Cutlass, require an additional 100-200 miles and 4-6 heat cycles. Next, it's time for the fun stuff. Baer suggests performing 10 partial stops at 40 percent pedal effort, slowing from 60-15 mph. This process should be repeated at 60 percent pedal effort. After allowing the rotors to cool with 10 miles of relaxed freeway driving, another 10 partial stops must be performed at 85-90 percent pedal effort. Once the brakes cool for several hours back down to ambient air temperature, they're ready to go.

Global Overview OCTOBER 2016
CrisisWatch is a monthly early warning bulletin designed to provide a regular update on the state of the most significant situations of conflict around the world.
Global Overview, August 2016
Global Overview – Trends and Outlook
The month saw violent extremist movements, including the Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda-linked groups, carry out major deadly attacks in Turkey, Pakistan, Côte d'Ivoire, Tunisia and Belgium. In Libya, the arrival of Prime Minister Serraj in Tripoli despite warnings from multiple factions could lead to further destabilisation. Meanwhile in Central Africa, political violence rose in Burundi and could break out in Chad around the 10 April presidential election.
The month saw conflict continue to rage in Turkey's south east between Ankara and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), looking likely to further escalate in March. Afghanistan and Somalia both saw armed insurgencies capture new territories. In Africa, political tensions rose in Chad, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, while in Venezuela, deadlock between the opposition-held parliament and government has brought the country closer to political and economic implosion.
The month saw an intensification of Yemen's war, amid heightened regional rivalries between Saudi Arabia and Iran complicating prospects for peace. Political tensions increased in Haiti, Guinea-Bissau and Moldova, where protests over endemic corruption and a lack of confidence in the government could escalate. In Africa, Boko Haram's deadly attacks increased in northern Cameroon, and Burkina Faso was hit by an unprecedented terror attack.

South Sudan
The year opened with a worsening of the ongoing conflicts in Yemen, Nigeria and Ukraine, each with potentially major regional implications. Violence escalated in Sudan, as well as in Lebanon's Tripoli and along its southern border with Israel, and a deadly clash between police and militants in the southern Philippines threatened to derail the peace process there. In South Asia, both Bangladesh and Nepal saw political tensions intensify.
December saw a significant deterioration of the security situation – compared to the previous month – in nine countries or conflict situations in the world, including in South Asia (Pakistan and India), and East Africa (South Sudan and Kenya). There is a risk of increased violence in the coming month in Sudan, where major offensives are anticipated on the heels of a failure in the peace talks; in Sri Lanka, in the context of the 8 January elections; and in Haiti, where the current president could rule by decree unless parliament's mandate, due to expire on 12 January, is extended.
The U.S. expanded its aerial campaign against Islamic State (IS) militants in late September with strikes in Syria's north and east. The operation, which targets both IS and fighters linked to al-Qaeda's central leadership and the affiliated group Jabhat al-Nusra, risks alienating other rebel groups in Syria and strengthening support for IS.

BERLIN (Reuters) - The Berlin film festival on Thursday announced the first movies of its 2013 lineup, and among the main competition entries will be U.S. director Gus Van Sant's drama starring Matt Damon and centering around the controversial shale gas industry.
"Promised Land" will have its international premiere at the annual cinema showcase, although it is scheduled to be launched first in the United States.
According to online reports, "The Bourne Identity" star Damon was originally down to direct the movie tackling the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking" for shale gas, which has raised concerns over its environmental impact.
The film reunites the actor and film maker after Van Sant directed Damon in the acclaimed 1997 drama "Good Will Hunting".
Damon was nominated for a best actor Academy Award for his performance and won a screenplay Oscar along with co-writer Ben Affleck for a movie that helped launch their Hollywood careers.
Also in the main competition in Berlin is "Gloria", directed by Chilean film maker Sebastian Lelio, Korean entry "Nobody's Daughter Haewon" directed by Hong Sangsoo and Romanian picture "Child's Pose" by Calin Peter Netzer.
There will be a world premiere for "Paradise: Hope", the final installment of Austrian director Ulrich Seidl's Paradise trilogy, while out of competition in Berlin is 3D animation film "The Croods", featuring the voice of Nicolas Cage.
And under the Berlinale Special heading comes documentary "Redemption Impossible".
The 63rd Berlin film festival runs from February 7-17.

* Halloween 2012 Update: Little Red Riding Hood and a Japanese Princess
Halloween was a strange this year.
It was on a Wednesday. First day back to school
after being closed for two days for Hurricane Sandy.
This happy kid's holiday filled with costumes, class parties, and candy
following a very scary and anxious few days of waiting through a major storm
and watching news coverage of the devastation and aftermath with a broken heart.
Our power was back on - no trees fell on our house
and we didn't have any flood or water damage.
We were VERY grateful for that.
It is so hard to see others suffering right now in the wake of this storm.
It feels silly posting photos of my kids in their costumes.
We were so lucky to be safe and be able to celebrate halloween.
Our biggest complaint was that we didn't get our pumpkins carved
and I spent the morning scrambling to help some other moms pull off
a great Kindergarten halloween Party.
I'll take that as the worst of my problems ANY day.
I feel SO. Very. Grateful.
My heart goes out to anyone reading this who was not as
fortunate as we were in this monster of a storm.
With that, I'll share a few photos from the day of my girls.
They loved getting dressed up and seeing their friends at school.
"C" went to school dressed as Little Red Riding Hood
and "E" wore her homemade DIY Monster Shirt.
"C" and her kindergarten friends enjoyed a school-wide storybook parade
and class party in the afternoon.
"E" was very excited about her costume this year, she wanted to be a Japanese Princess.
She fell in love with it since her favorite Barbie dolls
are her collectible Japanese Princess Barbies and she wanted to look like one of them.
I did her make up with my Klutz Facepaint and she loved it.
Almost there.
All Finished!
Cutie pie little girls ready to go trick or treating!
We did have candy and the girls had costumes.
They had a blast trick-or-treating with daddy and a group of neighborhood friends.
I got to stay home and hand out candy with Pippi (our dog.)
Life is good. We are grateful.
I started November, my birth month, this morning feeling very thankful indeed.
Hoping you all had a happy and safe halloween this year too!
Pink and Green Mama
P.S. The following note is for the 1% of my readers who
will be offended by my daughter's costume and feel the need to write to me about it:
Please don't send me hate mail about my daughter's costume telling me
that it's not politically correct or that it's offensive.
She loved it. She picked it out. She felt beautiful and she was.
Halloween in our house is for our kids and for them to have fun.
If you want to send me hate mail find a different hobby,
there are bigger issues going on in the world right now that you could be spending
your time and energy on.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for December to Randy Winch, Heavy Equipment Mechanic for the Street Maintenance Operations Division of the Public Works and Utilities Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Winch has worked for the City since November 1977. Jim Chiles, Superintendent of Fleet Services, nominated Winch in the category of productivity for his work to create a vacuum system to clean up concrete slurry, the runoff from the process of cutting concrete with an industrial saw.
The project started with an e-mail complaint that concrete slurry was running into the storm drain on South 84th Street. Rock Krzycki of Watershed Management confirmed that keeping the slurry out of the bodies of water and the storm drain system was important because it can be as caustic as drain cleaner. Concrete slurry also is considered a pollutant under the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System stormwater permit.
Chiles said a vacuum system is not yet available commercially, so his staff purchased components to create a system. His goal was to create a system that was easy to operate and maintain. Once the components arrived, Winch volunteered to tackle the job of assembling the wide variety of parts and pieces which included the vacuum system, hoses, reels, pumps, tanks, straps and trailers.
Winch met with the operating sections, shop personnel and considered all suggestions, opinions, advice and constructive criticism. The result was a concrete slurry vacuum system that looked professional and was easy to operate and maintain. It also exceeded all of the expectations on functionality, cleaning more than 95 percent of the slurry created during the sawing operation.
Working with the state stormwater grant program, the City was able to fund two units to collect the slurry and dispose of it properly. The equipment they purchased allows the process to be a one-person operation - the concrete saw operator collects the slurry using a customized vacuum head mounted directly onto the saw.
Chiles says he would not be surprised to see a very similar product being marketed in trade journals in the near future as an "only one man concrete slurry vacuum system." He said Winch's knowledge, experience and "thick skin" were all very apparent throughout this project.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are customer relations, loss prevention, safety and valor. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Jackson ever since. OBN. LONG STREET. It remains for me to say a few words respecting one other of the most valuable officers of the Confederacy, ah eminent combative man—Gen. Long- street. Hia frame is stout and heavy, his countenance floi I and cheery, and emin mtly English ce. Io every pos' .ion irst iir*; com mi', no in, a bri "<ade ; second- aaodiag a divisio i; th idly a corps o haa grown in the affect 0118 f his men onfidenoe of his o mma dint. officers. d iimierturbable in der ti e as n bis tent orks aud th. aditioo he drt edt esta the change which out.1 ugeuuous ! corporeal particles preparatory eyed away out of the system, : neighbor i it is tbe nt English Portrait ol Rebel Generals. The epecial correspondence ofthe Loudon Times writing from Richmond gives the following pictures of Confederate Generals : OESKIUL LEE. Genera! Lee is, I believe, between 50 and CO years of age, but wears his years well, and strikes you aa the incarnation of health aud endurance, as he rears his erect, soldierlike form from his seat by the fireside to greet courteously the stranger. Jlis manner is calm and stately, his presence impressive aod imposing, bis dark brown eyes re- rinarkably direct and honest as they meet you fully ■and firmly^ and inspire plenary confidence. The •shape aud type of the head a little resemble Gari- 'baldi'e, but tne features are tbose of a handsomer r*mau. On the rare occasions wheu he smile3, aud ■ron the still rarer occasions wheu be laughs heartily, disclosing a fiue unbroken row ol wbite, firm* met teeth, the confidence aud sympathy which be inspires areilrresistible. A childgthrown among a Ikuot of -strangers would be iuevitably drawn to ■Geu. .Lee.fire*; in tbe compauy, and would run to claim his protection. The voice is fine and deep, hat slightly monotonous iu tone. Altogether, the most -winning attribute of the Geneal is his un- iXffeci-ed childlike guilelessuess. It1 is very rnry that a man-ofihis age, conversant with important events, aud thrown to the surface of mighty convulsions retains the impress of a simple, nature to so eminent a degree. Ii is impossible to converse with bim ten minutes without perceiving how deeply he boa meditated upou all the possible eventualities of t.he camj::aigu in Virginia, and how sound and well-considered are tbe positions which he adv&joqee. It is obvious tbat the most entire aud ronstir.'j-; ooofidencs is placed in General j Lee by his subordinate officers, whose respect and j aflectiou he seems thoroughly to have won. Tbe I General is still Gaoled in hia hands from the effects of a fall which be sustaiued so long ago as j thc 30th of August. At dawn of that day he rode -■across tbe historical stream of Bull Run, aud observing a pach of herb age. he dismounted and allow-1 ed hie horse to graze, recollecting lhat the animal j had carried ht&tthe whole preceding day almost without food. Tbe General himself sat on a stump. There were only a few cavalry pickets of Confederates between Gen. Lee and. the enemy. Suddenly a charge of a large body cf Yankee cavalry drove iu tbe confederate pickets., aud came close up to where Geo. Lee .pas. The General ran forward to catch his horse, aud grasping at tbe rein as his ^orse sidled ofi, he tell heavily forward, entangled in bis cloak, upon both bauds, and jarred the nerves ot tbe right arm right up to the shoulder* Hia horse was got by one of his staff, aud thc Yankee cavalry, not knowing what a valuable prize \.j'*l was close at.hand, fell back without approaching; highroad i morejnearl'y., The^General rode throughout the] \vbole-of -that eventful day, the 30lh of August, j Sucked ' ibat for many days and nights he suffered agonlx- nosed to le ing-pain:; aad even now, ou the 21st of November -and send x ihe ifi far from having wholly recovered the full use i. and Greatsi -of his hands,- though uot for oue day or hour has; oeaefal in ] ihe permitted himself to be absent Irom duty.

A most undemonstrative, retieeut man, doubtless, iu all that regards his vocation as a soldier. There is every reason to think that when the war is over, Geu Jacksou will be the very first man to bury him-e If in the deepest obscurity of private Hie. Throughout this war it has been the practice of Gen, Jack- eon to throw himself, disregarding his owu inferiority of numbers, upon large bodies of the enemy aud the day is ordinarily half won by the sudden, ■ness and desperation of the attack. His usual poi icy is then to retire, upon which the eon ents of the Northern Journals, who upon of General Jackson's onslaught have b frightened out of their live«, announce w usual fanfarades a great Federal victory and exultation are universal. In a lew di ever, wheu the Federals bave reached so where it suits General Jackson to attack pounces upon theui again, and frequently fame of his second apr-ron-oh drivers hi:- <■,;>-- a precipitate retreat without fighting, it th admits of such possibility, Thc upshot i a year and a balf of Gen. Jackson's condu war, frequently at the head of do mon handful of men been gained by and in As bra- remarkable for his promptitude io thinking correctly when in tbe greatest danger, his value to the Coiih-;deraey can hardly be over estimated. A review of some 10,000 of his men took place when we were at Winchester. Among this body there were no shoeless or barefooted sufferers. A finer cr more spirited body has never buen assi'tobled on the North American continent. In conclusion I can safely say that, although I saw much suffering great waut of shoes, frequently very inadequate clothing among the men ot Gen. Le-^'a army, I wa8 astonisbfed to observe how confident was the spirit prevailing among the entire body. No such army- has ever yet been assembled to fight for the confederacy. Auy battle into which these men enter* is balf won when tbe first shot IB fired. Again and again they bave joined issue under most unfavorable circumstances with tbeir opponents, and have gained victories. It is not likely that the tide wil| be turned now that the Fe feral i are every day fighting with less and less sppetite, aud now that the experience of 19 months of wail has giveu such confidence to tlie Oo;.f-.b-rates iu themselves and in their co!n:r.ai:dh:g oili iers. that the d*iy of bat. tie is surely and triumphantly looked on as necessarily the day of victory.

WisiirxoTox, April 12.—The steamer Flambeau arrived witb dispatches from Admiral Dnpont- to the Government. From other than official sources it is aseertained that the vessels comprising the fleet advanced upon Charleston in tho folii orcer: Weehawken, Passaic, Montauk, Patapsco ]ronsides~lUe flag ship—with Admiral Dupent, tiGtUtaff on board. Next followed the Catski/l. A'augatuck, Menantauk.Valiant and the Keokuk- In thiB order they proceded up the main channel until when arriving within about 1,700 yards of the main forts, the Ironsides became unmanageable owing to the tide and the narrowness of the channel. She was therefore obliged to drop anchor to prevent drifting ashore. Owing to these circumstances, it was signalled tbat the Ironsides could not regulate her motions, and the remainder of ihe squadron continued their course, and soon came within easy range oftbe rebel forts. From all poimaobHt-ructiouain tbe channel, from Fort Sumter to Foct MouISrle, interfered with the progress of our ships. In consequence of thisand the position ofthe Ironsides (the space for maece uvriug being only from 500 to 3,000 yards) the ves" sela were obliged lo prepare at ouce to engage the forts and arljaceut batteries. A signal bad Iikkh made tor aetion at balf-past three o*clock in tbe afternoon by the honsides, hat the rebels previous-' ly opened fire on the leading vessels. Thecombat is represented lo have been in the highest degree exciting, presenting, a 'earful scene—fire bellowing from all points of knd and water, Ihere being a continuous roar of cannon. In the course of thirty or forty minutes, the Keokuk being ina sinking condition, was obliged to withdraw from the lire and seek anchorage below the range of the enemy's guns. A few minutes afterwards all tbe vessels withdrew at a signal from the flag ship, it. being deemed impracticable to continue further hostilities. The Keokuk waa withiu 500 or GOO yards of Fort Sumter, aud was completely riddled. Sho was struck from all the batteries withiu range at least 90 times in 30 minutes. The shot was from rifled cannot of the heaviest cnlibre. Capt. Rhind, her commander, received a contusion on the leg and was slightly lamed. Twelve meu were -wounded together witb Acting Ensign Mcintosh, who had charge of one gun. His injuries are supposed to he fatal. Next morning, finding it impossible to save the vessel, Capt. lihind calh-d a tug, which took all hia men on board, and iu a few minutes thereafter the Keolnik. sunk. The persons belonging to the ship lost all their private oifects. On Wednesday the squadron remained at anchor in the main ship channel. It is said that the num. ber of men in our fleet is only about 1,100, with 30 gunp; while the enemy, it is reported, have at least 300 guns, the best in the world. The injuries to our vessels excluding the Keokuk are represented to be of such a character as will require but a short time loivrepairs. The casualties among our men are remarkbly few, including 1 killed and 3 wound" edon the JVahant. None ofthe batteries fired upon but vessels uutil they reached the viciuity of the main forts. Fortress Mowmh, April 12.—The steamer Spaulding, from Morehead City, N. C. yesterday, has arrived. No communication had been received at Newbern from Gen, Foster since Wednesday nighf. The women and children were leaving Newbern. Seven thousand troops attempted to reach Washington, (N. C.,) from Newb-rn. Tlmy were driveu back on Wednesday, eight miles, with the loss of fifty meu. Last accounts from Gen- Foster stats that the rebels had sent L'in three (lags of'truoe for bim to surrender Washington. Foster's reply to the last was: '-Send no mare flags. If Washington is wanted, come and take it." IIkauquakters off Tut-; Army or the Potomac, April 12.—A refugee who left Richmond on Tuesday, says that the bread riot in that city was witnessed by him. It caused tbe greatest consternation among the authorities. The women, heads of families, and working classes were actually star- j vin;'-, many having been compelled to submit by threats. A repetition of the demonstration feared, but every precaution was being taken to avert its effect upon the troops, who were ver clamorous in demanding that tbeir families ahould be fed. Reinforcements were being pushed to Fredericksburg, most of whom were conscripts and convalescents. Several divisions were encamped ahout Richmond, one of which started off in great baste at the time that Averill visited Culpepper but returned again in a few days. Work was suspended on the forttficatioti-s of Richmond. Tiieir impregnability w*is considered certain. Earthworks were being thrown up along the Rapidan. The forces iu the Vicinity were ebb-fly cavalry. Two iron-clad gunboats were nfioat on thc Jnmes River on the 3d, approaching completion. Fjunkmn. Term., April 12—All is. quite in this vicinity. Van Dora has fallen back two miles South of Spring Hill. He manifests nodiapoiition to make another atteet, HCBrazBgBOBO, Ten::., April 12.—Passengers hence to Nashville were captured atSotith Antioch on Friday afternoon, by 500 rebels. Nine cars were burned. The mails and nearly 150 passengers, including a dozen or twenty officers, thirty or forty sutlers, and some soldiers of the tenth Michigan were captured. The guard with 43 belfl in charge, made a stout 8ght, lost 6 killed and a dozen wounded. The rebels lost a like number. w York, April 13th.—Tbe steamer Pea body arrived. Cipt.

The Ironsides received one hundred and fifty 8l.ois, Snatajaed no damage farther fhan the starting ofa few bolts. Tba rest ofthe floet are note jtired and hauled o^ the object of the reconnoisance being accomplished, whieh was to ascertain the locality of obstructions. Our entire loss was 2 killed and 13 wimnded, MewTokk, April 13.—The Trtbans's account ofthe Charleston fight says: The squadron arrived off Charleston on the morniug of the 5th, and spent a day examining the bars in the channels, the wind being too high to erose that W&tfBg. The Admiral's plan was to sail directly up and attack the northwest face of Fort Sumter at irom* COO to 800 yards. At 8 o'clock on Monday morning the signal was givsu to advance bnt in consequence ofa fog, they were obliged to postpone tho intended attack until the uext dey. Daring tbe afternoon, one of Gen. Fnrres' brigades worked ils way to Folly Island and established communication with the fleet' but no portion of the land forces got into the attack. On the 7th, at 4:15 P. M., fleet ff&t under way, passed Morris' Island batteries, without being filed upon, pushing right toward Foit Sumter. The Ironsides worked badly, aod in consequence of the current was obliged to anchor two or three times. Fort Moultrie opened first outhe Wehauk- e-.n, whieh was ihen witiiinSOO yards ol OateauHgB-' Point. The battery of Sumter, ami battery after battery, immediately followed, and the action became general and terrific. The Monitors still I pushed on, replying vigorously. They passed tlie j northeast face of Fott Snrater, wheu they discovered tbat there were three lines of obstruction: holding torpedoes, one of which exploded, hut did no great damage. Finding it impossible to pass the obstructions, they turned the steamers down the harbor. Tbe Patapsco's 200-paunder became disabled. The Passaic's turret was so bent that the vessel was practically out of use. The other boats continued their course to tho northeast face of Fort Sumter, put were also stopped by obstructions, and turned back, after being uuder fire for three-quarters of au hour, All the Monitors were ordered back, and at 5 o'clock, the entire fleet was out of range, and the action ceased. Admiral Dupont intended to renew tho attack . Ih: s par- ally ( olu he was sustained by ail the commanders. There were 11 large holes inside Fort Sumter, apparently running through the walls. Our entire firing only amounted to 150 ruuoda. When the correspondent left, two .Monitors had sailed tor Port Royal, and others were to tollow. The Time's account says that our ships were exposed toa concentric fire trom four differept points, unparalled in tbe history of warfare, par ing the ftgbt aot less than 3.5U0 shots were thed by the enemy, 1(30 bei gle ute. Thc Herald's correspondent says a rumor was iu circulation at Port Royal, ou lho O'ih, that our troops were rapidly gaining lhe rear of the city of Charleitou. Tlie Tunes says that the result of lhe recon- uoissance of Charleston, Bhoyra thus utter inefficiency of lhe iron-chul fleet to take Charleston alone. LouisvnxK, April 13.—The rebels captured with the train at Antioch, ou Friday, a large amount of money bwlougiug to the Government. Thev robbed passengers ofall they had. The same party- went to the Cumberland river, and fired into a freight train for this city, destroying the engine, a cannon ball having gone through the boiler. Nkw York, April 13.—It appears that in the reconnoisance of Charleston harbor by lhe ironclads, lhe Nahaut received thirty wounds, several being bad fractures. The Paeaaifl was also wound. ed in her turret and pilot house. The Nantucket's turret ia eo jarred that it could not be used, rendering her lo-inch gnu useless. N;piio of the otber Monitors were disabled. The Keokak reeeived seventy shots, nineteen of them penetrat- iur;-ber n! water mark. Sho was kept ailoat til! :■'-', momiu colors living. The steamer Roanoke, from New Orleans the.*5th, and Havana the 8ih, bringing Vera Cruz dates to tbe 1st, bas arrived. A dispatch from Pueblo, the 23d ult., aays: Nothing had been done there except skirmishing, resulting rather iu the discomfiture of the French. Tho guerillas bad attacked a body of 1,500 laborers on the railroad and carried off ail tbe Mexicans among them ae priseners. New Orleans advices state our troops bad destroyed all'the railroad bridges at Pontachoula and fallen back to Pass Manchias. A scouting party to the Amity country bad a skirmish with a rebel cavalry company. Ten of the latter were killed, seventeen wounded aod five captured. Our loss was four wounded. Generals Grover and Weitzei's forces were within supporting distance of euch other, and Ewiog'a division had been sent to join theta. An officer wbo arrived by the steamer Dudley says that Gen. Foster had provisions to last only until the nth. The rebel force between Washington and Newburn is reported to be 20,000 under Gen. Hill, and 7.000 under Pettigrew. The gunboat Valley City, wbich passed tbe rebel batteries below Washington, N. C, to Gen. Foster's assistance, was struck by sixty-three Bhots. Her fate subsequently is not known. The steamer Marion, wrecked on Double-Headed Shot Keys, 2d. will prove a total loss. She waa hound for New Orleans, and had a valuable cargo and forty passengers, all of whom were Saved. The Paymaster's safe at the Brooklyn Navy Yard was robbed last night of about $140,000 in legal lenders. CiN-crxx.m. April 13—Gen. Burnside haa isaned an order pronouncing the death penalty on all persons found guilty of aiding the rebels, and all rebel sympathizers are to be arrested and tried, or sent beyond the !ine3. The order eays "ireasoa expressed or implied will net be tolerated in thia department. " WAsnrxoToy, April 13. — Ex-Representative Low, of California, will receive bis commission aa Collector of Customs for the Port of San Francisco. Nashville, April 13.—A flag of truca sent from Franklin yesterday, learned that the rebel Gen. Ciasby was wounded, and also two of Van Doru'a i.ids. Tbe rebels lost heavily in wounded, and we :aplured many horses. Van Dorn expected to capture the town, and had received information tbat the Federal force was only 2,500 strong. Thirty-five citizens, active and violent rebels— some of1 whom were on the vigilance committee last year—were arrested to-day by order of Gen. Mitchell, and lodged in the penitentiary. Washi.vi-jto.v, April 15.—Private advices from Newburn, the 12th, state tbat a communication bad been received from Gen. Foster, to the effeot that be had plenty of aupplies, and believed hy could withstand all the forces the rebels could bring against him for three weeks, if necessary. Richmond papers have the following dispatch from Charleston the 12th : LaBt night the steamer Stonewall Jackson, while attempting to run Into tliis harbor, was hotly chased by the blockaders, and received several shota through her hull. The captain rau the steamer ashore and burned her. Her passengers escaped in small boats. Tho steamer WaB consumed to tho water's edge. Her cargo consisted mainly of salt, ghot aud merchandise. A dispatch from Goldshoro, N. C, ofthe 13tb, paya : The news of a partial victory over the Abo litionipts at Washington reached hereto-day. It appears that tbe Yaukees marching to the relief of Washington were met en route on Thursday, near Bland's creek, by Pettigrew'd force, with no losa on onr side. The Richmond Whig of the 13th says, in the fight on tbe 4th at Williamsburg, between Wise'a forces and the Yankees, our troops drove in the Yankee pickets aud occupied Iheir position; the enemy-retreating to Fort Magruder, from which point they commenced shelling tbe place. Wise took a position near the college and replied to tho Bre. Our casualties up to the 8th were slight. It is rumored that we captured forty prisoners and burned largo quantities of commissary stores. The Kiugston correspondent of tbe Raleigh Journal of tlta 10th reports tha Yankees failing back from Swift creek to Newburn. A report from Petersburg says the Yankees in large force entered fsie of Wight Court House on Wednesday and captured our pickets aud then retired. The following have been received from rebel sources: Jobn Minor Botts, from personal interposition has had permission to reside on his estate. No election for Governor (rebel) of Tennessee will be held tbis Fall ; Harris ia to hold uutil a successor is elected. Erricsson publishes a letter saying the imperfections of the Monitors are not of a aerioue character, and will be readily obviated. Everything worked precisely as expected and ns change iu tho plans of the vessels will be necessary. There is no class of vessels in the navy that obey the helm more readily than the Monitors. In strong cur- reets and shallow w.iter. like Charleston harbor, no vssel can he so readily inam-euvred. Tbe steamer from Havaua tbe 9th, reports that Admiral Wilkes was a paroled prisoner, and would continues© until tho affair ol the Vanderbilt firing iuto a Spanish coasting vessel was explained. Gobi today closed at 53. Its-ALH.L-.U.TEliS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, April 15.—The Richmond papers contain a dispatch Irom Jackson, Miss., wliich says one Yankee gunboat was abandoned and destroyed at the mouth of ibe Amite, in their retreat down the Coldwater. A dispatch from Charleston the lOtb. eays the steamer Emma Anna arrived this morniug from NftBsau. Removed.—Tbe explanation given by Collector Murdock, of Sau Jose, in regard to his substitution of greenbacks for gold paid to him by citizens for trixrrs, was not found satbfactory by the Special A.ent, and he will be removed.

And tbe largest rent is mended.

Fans attending Friday's game are encouraged to arrive early
The Buffalo Sabres today announced they will host a "Party in the Plaza" for the team's home opener against Ottawa at First Niagara Center on Friday, Oct. 4, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The party, presented by Tops Friendly Markets, will take place in Alumni Plaza, located outside of the arena along Perry Street. The event will feature live music from The Informers, a local band. Food and beverages will also be available for purchase.
In anticipation of the opening-night crowd for the game, fans planning on attending Friday's home opener are encouraged to arrive early to ensure easy entrance into the arena. A pregame handout will also be distributed to fans as they are admitted into the game.
Traffic/Parking Reminder:
Parking for the event will be available in the surface lots surrounding the arena.
As a result of the construction for HARBORcenter, vehicular traffic is limited to one lane northbound (away from arena) on Washington Street and one lane southbound (toward arena) on Main Street. While there have been and will continue to be temporary road closures, no closures are currently planned during arena events.
Fans that plan on visiting First Niagara Center while the limited traffic routes are in effect should plan on using Michigan Avenue instead of Washington Street. It is strongly suggested that fans plan ahead and leave extra time for traveling to and from the arena.

Another town that no longer is to be found in the county is Krem. It was the largest town in the county at one time, but it too declined when the railroad bypassed it and towns were built to the south of Krem.
Krem was established on September 17, 1888 by Carl Semmler. He named the "Krem" after the Crima in southern Russia, where many of the settlers in the area had come from.
The post office was established in 1890. In 1899 Samuel Richter, Martin Netzer and John Kunz built a 50 barrel capacity flour mill, ground a fine grade of flour. It was here that the local farmers brought their wheat to be milled into flour. The cost of milling a bushel of wheat was .21 cents. For this the farmer received 38 pounds of flour and 20 pounds of bran. The price of wheat in 1915 was .75 cents per bushel.
The mill was destroyed by fire in 1904, but was rebuilt again in 1905.
Martin Netzer built the first general store, which was managed by C.F. Schweigert, he was also the postmaster. A year later a second store was built by William Richter. This store was managed by C.G. Fuerst. Competition between the two stories was very fierce.
Krem became the largest town in Mercer County and got most of the local trade. It contested with Stanton to become the county seat. Krem lost the election, but gained business from the other towns. Dr. L.G. Eastman moved here from Mannhaven. A drug store, bank, pool hall and a hardware store were built. Frank Wernli established a lumber yard. J.C. Schleppergrell started a newspaper "The Mercer County Star". This later became "The Hazen Star", after the paper was moved to Hazen.
The farmers would haul their wheat to Expansion and Mannhaven, but would do most of their shopping at Krem.
In 1914, when the railroad was surveyed and the road planned south
of Krem, most of the business places moved to Hazen. The post office
was closed on November 14, 1941 and the mail was sent to Hazen,
North Dakota.

- Shortly after we did this, Google separated "Google" accounts and "Google Business" accounts. Making it nearly impossible to use a public Google Groups forum with a private Google Business account. It is possible to do, but it takes a lot of work and isn't worth the trouble.
- We found that you can only add 10 members to a Google Group at a time, if you add too many, Google thinks you are spamming and they close the Group. Well, with over 7000 members between the three lists, that would take quite some time to complete.
- We have 10+ years of history on the Snort Mailing lists, and I don't want to abandon that.

Good idea!ReplyDelete
Would it also be possible for users wanting to get an archive in their usual mail workflow to get archives of previous incarnations of the ML as an mbox archive to import?
What I will do is leave the Google Groups up for awhile. So they continued to be indexed. After 6 months or so, I'll delete them totally.ReplyDelete
I would like to know what rules do we have in snort for the following threats;

2) Adobe FlashPlayer - Exploits available for CVE-2012-0751
3) RDP exploit, which exploits vulnerabilities addressed in MS12-020.
4) Flashback Trojan for MAC
1) We have approx 30 rules in the ruleset that deal with blackhole.ReplyDelete
2) We cover it.
3) We cover it.
4) We cover it, not only with Snort, but with our AV products as well.

I was extremely lucky to be chosen for the Stamps Addicts Design Team in October 2007. When I got the call I had a grin from ear to ear for weeks on end... and I still do. I love the challenge and you can see my work on the Stamp Addicts website and the Purple Zone
