Just when you thought I was done with the blog for good ... :)
October is such a fun month for our family. We feel like we spend the whole month on the go, but we sure do create some great memories in the process! Here are all of the pictures from our fun family month!
Of course, the State Fair is always one of our favorite October activities!
We get to wear pretty fall clothes in October!
For the 2nd year, we went to the Fall Festival at Windy Hill Apple Orchard. Definitely going to be a family tradition from now on!
Ella got to dress up for the carnival at her school.
Camryn dressed up for Book Character Day at her school. She was Felicity, the colonial girl, from the American Girl book series.
And, our last activity - the church carnival on Halloween night.

Legal History and the "Culturally Literate" Law Professor
1. Horwitz's Transformation Thesis (and Critics)
2. Formalist and Realist Eras of Judicial Decisionmaking
3. Formative Decades of Administrative Law
4. Eras in Constitutional History (Ackerman's We the People typology)
When confronted with such a proposal, what's a hypothetical legal historian to do?
My own reaction would be, first, relief that legal history was being offered a seat at this particular table, followed at once by doubts about the premise of the exercise, that legal history has a set of foundational concepts, agreed upon by its practitioners as such. Several alternative premises come to mind. One could teach the landmarks works and controversies of the field, but that's not what the occasion would call for, as the seminar would aim at producing generalist legal scholars, not legal historians.
I could also generate a list of topics that have been important to my own research and teaching--as it happens, it would overlap with the list above--but that wouldn't fill the bill, either: the concepts are supposed to be foundational for the field of legal history and not just the legal historian who happened to lead the seminar that day. But once one started to list candidates for the category of "foundational concepts," it's very hard to know when to stop and to declare oneself in possession of a serviceable canon for the generalist law professor. A more open-ended exercise might be feasible--a legal historical equivalent to Lawrence Solum's "Legal Theory Lexicon," say; or a legal history wiki--but a reading list for a single session of a seminar would feel quite arbitrary.
What I think I'd propose instead was a session on the history of the American legal academe. Although we don't have a one-volume history of the subject--a legal equivalent to John Higham's History or Peter Novick's That Noble Dream--there's no dearth of first-rate scholarship on the history of legal scholarship. A quick tour would start before the rise of the modern university with articles on Story and Kent (Kent Newmyer, "Harvard Law School, New England Legal Culture, and the Antebellum Origins of American Jurisprudence," 74 Journal of American History 814 (1987); John H. Langbein, "Chancellor Kent and the History of Legal Literature," 93 Columbia Law Review 547 (1993)) and Stephen Siegel on nineteenth-century treatise writers ("Francis Wharton's Orthodoxy: God, Historical Jurisprudence, and Classical Legal Thought," 46 American Journal of Legal History 422 (2004); "Joel Bishop's Orthodoxy," 13 Law & History Review 215 (1995)). On Langdell, one of Bruce Kimball's articles would do, until his biography of the Harvard law dean appears next year. Three books by Laura Kalman would cover most of the twentieth century (Legal Realism at Yale; The Strange Career of Legal Liberalism; Yale Law School and the Sixties) to which one would add John Henry Schlegel's American Legal Realism and Empirical Social Science. Throw in a survey of mainstream legal thought, such as William W. Fisher's "Legal Theory and Legal Education" in volume 3 of the Cambridge History of Law in America, and call it a day
At the end of that day, I'm not sure how much legal history the seminarians would have learned, but they would have encountered a foundational concept, not simply for legal history, but history generally: Bob Gordon's "menace of historicity," that is, the historically contingent nature of the present, including the present-day legal academe ("Historicism in Legal Scholarship," Yale Law Journal 90 (1981): 1017).

Dan--this is the best post I've seen in a long time (lots of contenders for this title). My own bias is towards the 19th century, so if someone went with the first theme--I'd think there should be more on the colonial/Revolutionary/framing, and Reconstruction eras, as well as the antebellum era. I'm incredibly biased, but there's been a tremendous amount of great work done on slavery--I'd think you'd want to have something on that, as well as Reconstruction.
All of your suggestions are fabulous, by the way.

I think the problem is that the other topics concern discrete methods, or analogies, or tools, but the proposed history list is about entire theories. I would think the ideal readings for the "history day" would focus on historical method -- different ways of extracting meaning from sources. Particularly good for legal academics would be something that would disturb the notion that you can just parachute into the past, read two sentences from a source, and conclude that you've grasped the complete meaning of that text. I'm not sure what that would be though.

Might this lead to the discovery of the "Holy Grail of Constitutional Interpretation" that proponents of the various versions of originalism continue to seek? Or is there a fine distinction between legal history and originalism, and their scholars?

Welcome to Kershner Flight Manuals These books, written, revised and updated over a period of more than 60 years, use the experience of two pilots and over 22,000 hours of flight instructing and flying airplanes ranging from 40 HP Piper Cub J-2s to F4U Corsairs to Boeing 777s. Based on the original texts by William K. Kershner, the latest editions have been updated by William C. Kershner. With over 1.2 million copies sold, these have influenced the flying of hundreds of thousands of pilots. The books range from taking the first flight (The Student Pilot's Flight Manual) to teaching the first flight (The Flight Instructor's Manual). The intricacies of aerobatics are covered in the Basic Aerobatic Manual and the details of instrument flight and checking out in advanced types of piston airplanes are contained in The Instrument Flight Manual and The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual, respectively. The sixth book, Logging Flight Time, is a collection of aviation stories and articles from William K. Kershner's varied flying career. Bill Kershner's Cessna 152 Aerobat is on display at the National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles International Airport near Washington, DC (below). N7557L was delivered to this fascinating museum on March 13, 2007, two months after William K. Kershner's death.

Does Pain Make You Age Faster?
by Pamela Katz Ressler, RN, BSN, HN-BC, MS-PREP student and PREP-AIRED blog moderator
A recent study based on analysis of data from the 2004 Health and Retirement Study suggests pain hastens the aging process with respect to functional limitations at a younger age.
The study, published in the September issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, examined a sample of individuals age 50 and older living in the community. The mean age of the sample was 65. Participants who said they had significant pain — 24% of the 18,531 people surveyed — had functional limitations roughly equivalent to those of a person two to three decades older. One of the study's authors, Kenneth E. Covinsky, MD, MPH, University of California San Francisco, wrote, "So, a 50-year-old in pain functions on the level of a 70-year-old who does not have daily pain".
The authors of the study stated that the cross-sectional design of the study did not allow them to determine if "pain is causing functional limitations or whether functional limitations are causing pain, but it seems likely that the relationship is bidirectional." But since the relationship appears to be powerful the study's authors concluded that taking a more unified approach to addressing pain and function in the community setting versus only in geriatric settings may prove beneficial.

Belmont Bruins stun No. 11 North Carolina Tar Heels
- North Carolina lost to Belmont%2C 83-80
- Roy Williams lost a non-conference game at Chapel Hill for just the second time ever
- UNC played its third game without PJ Hairston and Leslie McDonald
North Carolina fans got a first-hand glimpse of what the Tar Heels could look like without suspended PJ Hairston and Leslie McDonald, and it wasn't pretty.
Playing its third straight game without Hairston and McDonald, both of whom continue to sit because of eligibility issues, the 11th-ranked Tar Heels stumbled at home against perennial upstart Belmont, 83-80.
It marked only the second time in Roy Williams' 11-year tenure at North Carolina that the Tar Heels suffered a non-conference loss at the Dean E. Smith Center. They had also lost to Illinois at home in 2005.
The well-respected Rick Byrd, in his 28th season at Belmont, has led the school to six NCAA tournament appearances since 2006. As a 15th-seed in 2008, Belmont put a scare into second-seeded Duke before losing, 71-70, at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
But this was not expected to be one of Byrd's best teams at Belmont, which is expected to finish behind Eastern Kentucky in the East Division of the Ohio Valley Conference.
Belmont led by 10 points in the second half before the Tar Heels rallied to regain the lead. Belmont's J.J. Mann then gave his team the lead with a three-pointer in the game's final seconds.
And the Tar Heels lost a game in which they made just 22 of 48 free throws.
Life without Hairston and McDonald is proving difficult for the Tar Heels.

Almost everyone is familiar with Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. Orchestras play it often and there is a choral version that is also popular. On January 10 Camerata San Antonio will present this masterpiece in a version you probably haven't heard. I found this information on npr.org:
The "Adagio for Strings" was written by American composer Samuel Barber when he was in his 20s. With a tense melodic line and taut harmonies, the composition is considered by many to be the most popular of all 20th-century orchestral works.
"You never are in any doubt about what this piece is about, says music historian Barbara Heyman. "There's a kind of sadness and poetry about it. It has a melodic gesture that reaches an arch, like a big sigh… and then exhales and fades off into nothingness."
There is a great story about its premiere, which was conducted by Toscanini. Barber mailed the music to the great maestro and was very disappointed when it was almost immediately returned. Barber assumed that Toscanini didn't even consider it. But when Barber learned that Toscanini was going to conduct the premiere he was stunned and he asked why the music was sent back so quickly. Toscanini answered that he had already memorized it and so he didn't need the music anymore!
What is not so well known is that the Adagio for Strings was actually written as part of a string quartet. The orchestra version came later. I've heard the original version and it is wonderful, but quite different. What you give up in the glorious sound of a full string section, you gain in clarity of the four different parts.
On January 7, 8 and 10 Camerata San Antonio will begin their program with this wonderful string quartet. The 10th is at Travis Park United Methodist Church in San Antonio.
The entire program is:
Barber: String Quartet, Op. 11
Copland: Sextet
Milhaud: Creation of the World, Op. 81b
Shulman: Rendezvous
Gershwin: Selections for Clarinet and String Quartet
The musicians will be:
Ilya Shterenberg, clarinet
Ertan Torgul & Kimberly Torgul, violins
Emily Freudigman, viola
Kenneth Freudigman, cello
Vivienne Spy, piano

For all people who want to adopt a healthy way of cooking, the air frier is one of the best options. Touted at the healthy alternative to deep frying, the air frier is a revolutionary device that will satisfy every palette. These days, there are numerous deals on air friers and most of them are for promotional purposes. To get the best deals buy air fryer online. There are some very important benefits of air friers that are discussed in the following few paragraphs.
The biggest benefit of the air frier is the generation of low fat meals. When you use oil for deep frying, there is a lot of oil that is soaked up inside the food materials. Thus, when you consume them, you are inevitably eating high fat meals. Since the air frier does not use oils for cooking, it is considered to be a very healthy alternative.
The food is completely cooked in an air frier because there is hot air circulation from all angles. This hot air circulation is generally done with the help of a fan that is situated beneath a heating coil. When you buy a good air frier from the market, you will get a cookbook or a recipe book that will entail all food items that you can cook using the air frier. Some of the most commonly prepared food items are French Fries, grilled vegetables, chicken tenders, muffins, chips, etc. The air frier is just an appliance that you will need to make some of the most delicious delicacies for your loved ones. By using the air frier, you can make healthy foods that will be loved by all members of the family and friends. You can invite your friends or colleagues for some of the best food items that they may have never tasted before. You may also want to surprise them by asking them the method of cooking.
Most obese people are finding different ways to reduce weight and they are also adopting healthy eating methods such as the air frier method. Initially, most obese people may find the taste of the air frier cooked food a bit dry, but when they get accustomed to the food, they will love it. For some recipes, you can add a tablespoon of oil so that you get the right taste of fried foods. The air frier can be compared to a multi-tasking appliance that can roast, bake, grill and fry. So, when you are buying an air frier from a reputed manufacturer, you will find that it is really very cost effective.
When you buy an air frier from a reputed manufacturer, you will be in the best position to cook multiple dishes in one go. In addition to cutting on fatty oils, you will be in the best position to cook some of your favourite meals in just a matter of a few minutes. There are many appliances that have several pros and cons, but the air frier has very few cons. You can buy air fryer online and enjoy some of the best cooking experiences.

WorldVitalRecords.com - Abstracts from Norfolk City Marriage Bonds, 1797 - 1850 $
Abstracts from Norfolk City Marriage Bonds [1797-1850]. George Holbert Tucker. (1934). Compiled originally in 1934, Mr. Tucker's transcription of marriage bonds for the city of Norfolk, Virginia is the most complete collection of these records we know of and one of the most painstakingly assembled. The core of the volume consists of 3,600 marriage bonds, arranged in chronological order, as found in the Norfolk Borough Court House. Typically, the bonds give the full names of the bride and groom and their securities (sometimes family members). All persons named in the bonds are indexed at the back of the book. Mr. Tucker went to the extra length of establishing the correct spellings of all surnames and the betrotheds' actual fact of marriage by consulting the ministers' returns corresponding to the period of the bonds that are on file in the Norfolk Corporation Court. In perhaps a third of the entries, the bonds are annotated with notes from the returns disclosing, for example, the name of the bride's father--who often was the security-- the name of the officiating minister, the church where the ceremony was performed, and so on. It was during his examination of the ministers' returns that the author discovered the early Norfolk City burial lists and baptismal lists of the Rev. Robert S. Symes of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church, 1809-1816. These two lists, naming 500 parents and children with the date of baptism, and 300 decedents with their dates of death, respectively, are also included in the body of the work.
WorldVitalRecords.com - Lancaster County, Virginia, Marriage Bonds, 1652 - 1850 $
Lancaster County, Virginia, Marriage Bonds, 1652-1850. Ida J. Lee. (1965). A wealth of genealogical information is contained in this modest volume. Altogether about 4,000 prospective brides and grooms are listed with dates and, sometimes, names of parents. For the convenience of the researcher the marriages are recorded in one alphabetical sequence by the surname of the groom. Additional important genealogical information such as the statement of widowhood and the place of residence is supplied if the information appeared in the original marriage bond. Lancaster County was formed from the parent counties of Northumberland and York in 1651. It was itself the parent of old Rappahannock County (formed in 1656) and Middlesex County (formed in 1673). Clearly, then, this work documents marriages from an important area and one larger than might at first be supposed.

Marriages of Goochland County, Virginia, 1733-1815. Kathleen Booth Williams. (1960). Goochland County, Virginia was carved out of Henrico County in 1728 and was the parent, direct or indirect, of nine other Virginia counties. The Goochland County marriage register upon which this work is based was originally compiled by the staff of the Virginia State Library and subsequently transcribed by Mrs. Williams. In all, it refers to some 3,000 brides and grooms and to another 2,000 associated persons (parents, sureties, and witnesses) mentioned in the register.
WorldVitalRecords.com - Marriages of Mecklenburg County [Virginia] from 1765 to 1810 $
Marriages of Mecklenburg County [Virginia] from 1765 to 1810. Stratton Nottingham. (1928). Mecklenburg County in south-central Virginia was formed from Lunenburg County in 1764 and today adjoins the North Carolina border opposite the counties of Granville, Vance, and Warren. This volume contains the only official record of extant marriages from Mecklenburg County. It was compiled from loose papers, inasmuch as no marriage register prior to 1850 is known to exist. The work consists of some 2,000 marriages in all and is arranged alphabetically according to the name of the groom. Each entry furnishes the names of the contracting parties, date of the bond, and name(s) of sureties. On occasion, the abstracts also indicate the bride and groom's address and/or the names of their parents. This work of vital importance to persons interested in Virginia genealogy concludes with a complete name index to the brides.

On December 7 one of our masterpieces will be going into storage—Yama and Yami, an eight-foot-tall Tibetan ceremonial painting (or thangka) from the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. If you're coming to the museum this week, make a point to come up to the Ahmanson Building's fourth floor to check it out (you'll pass it on your way to the Five Centuries of Indonesian Textiles exhibition).
It is a vivid and viscerally affecting painting. Yama, the Lord of the Underworld and judger of souls, dances violently with his sister, Yami, atop a blue bull, which makes itself at home upon a nude woman—it's basically the most frightening dogpile you might ever imagine. Yama, who has three eyes and the head of a buffalo, holds a staff in one hand and a noose in the other, and is surrounded by a wall of flames (note, however, the apparently heat-resistant birds fluttering around his head). He wears a crown of skulls and a necklace of severed heads, while Yami, similarly adorned, offers him a cup of "demon-blood elixir." Adding to the vibrant lunacy of the painting are more severed heads, flowers, clouds, water, and five miniature versions of Yama—in blue, red, white, and orange—placed in the corners and apex of the painting. I can't believe we omitted this painting from our Halloween post on creepy works in the museum; it's definitely right up there.
The painting is chock-full of imagery—more than I can describe nor even understand, especially in the space of this blog post. Happily, you can take an online tour of the painting's meaning, as well as read the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of the long conservation process that restored Yama and Yami to all its terrifying glory. It's a more than worthy read, before or after you take a look at the painting in person.

The BGS operate an observatory site at Virkisjökull in south-east Iceland, studying the evolution of the glacier and the surrounding landscape and their responses to regional climate.
Sensors at the site are constantly collecting climate and seismic data. Repeated high resolution surveys study how both the glacier and land surface, and the deposits beneath, change over time.
We are using cutting-edge technologies, not used in such a combination anywhere else in the world. These give unique insights into:
The March 2015 field season saw a team consisting of BGS and GSNI staff, plus staff and MSc and MRes students from Dundee and Lancaster Universities, in Iceland for 10 days with a huge range of research activities to complete. You can see excellent aerial videos and updates on their Hydrometric monitoring of the River Virkisá webpage and blog.
Whilst Heiko Buxel and Hugh Barron were carrying out "routine" tasks for the Glacier Monitoring Project - including seismic data downloads, meltwater sampling, camera installation and general maintenance - they experienced conditions far from routine!

Virkisjökull is retreating rapidly, like most glaciers in Iceland. Since 1996, the glacier margin has retreated nearly 500 m, and it appears that this rate has accelerated over the last five years.
Why is this important?

Last night I realized I had not seen my 6P for a while and decided to check my car. I grabbed my new Gree and went to search. Battery died in less than 1 minute. WTF? Oh duh! I had been doing runtime tests on RCR123s....
I thought back to other bonehead stunts I had pulled with flashlights over the years and thought I'd share my "conspicuous stupidity in a public place" stunts.
Like the time I was speaking to a cute young lady and had my hand resting on my duty belt. I did not notice I had activated the tailcap switch and subsequently melted the cheap nylon holster it was in. "Do you smell something burning?" Duh, yeah...
[BTW, I once did the same with a pepper spray canister, real smart!, not]
The time I got out of the vehicle and had my Bianchi B-lite slide out of its belt ring and onto my foot in front of a crowd of 50. I suavely just picked it up; like I do this all the time. (Only a slight limp could be detected...)
All the times I checked my lights by looking into the lens and turning it on. Duh! "Guess its working, can someone point me toward the exit?"
The time I gently laid my Maglight on the roof of someone's car and forgot it was there...they drove off and it bounced off their trunk..."No Ma'am, I think you ran over a rock, Have a nice day!"
Looking down a 200 ft. cave pit and watching a flashlight spin down the drop. Laughing at the carelessness of a fellow caver and then realizing I was the flashlight's owner. Duh!
Won't count all the times I forgot to bring extra batteries. "Ah, sir, your flashlight is not working" "Oh, thanks!" Duh!
Still looking for that 6P, gotta be around here somewhere...
Anyone else willing to risk public ridicule stories here?

A Pain in the Back
Spinal stenosis is the abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal, and it can occur in various regions of the back. Some of the symptoms of spinal stenosis are back pain, loss of motor control, and numbness. Spinal stenosis is just one type of medical problem that causes back pain.
Back pain is extremely common. Four out of every five adults will experience significant back or neck pain in at least one point of their lives. That is why Americans spend over fifty billion dollars every year for back pain. A lot of people have it, and a lot of people are looking to make it go away.
The back is complicated. It is a complex structure of muscles, joints, bones, and ligaments. The spine alone has three different sections. The cervical, thoracic, and lumbar segments make up the "S curve" of the spine from top to bottom. Many things can go wrong in the back of a person and cause a lot of discomfort. From a herniated disc in back to spinal stenosis to sciatica, there are several different conditions that could cause back pain. Sciatica is back pain that is cause by the irritation or compression of a nerve root.
In order to fix back pain, many people have surgery. Microdiscectomy is type of spine surgery is a procedure where the patient is encouraged to move around as soon as he or she can comfortably do so after the procedure. There are many different types of surgery because there are many different causes of back pain, from spinal stenosis to herniated discs. Read more.

Why The Average Dentist Malibu Offers Deals In Both General And Cosmetic Dentistry
In 2010, a little more than 60 percent of the country's population aged 18 to 64 visited a professional dentist. That number translates on a smaller and more local level toward Malibu dental professionals, though in Malibu most people are more likely to be visiting the dentist to improve their smiles rather than to simply have their teeth cleaned. Nationwide, Americans are spending $1.4 billion each year for tooth whitening procedures and products, including the typical service provided by nearly every dental specialist in teeth whitening Malibu has available. Again, locally this number is lower but still is representative of the national population, with people wanting better smiles and knowing that they can get it from any Malibu cosmetic dentist or any practicing dentist in any other part of the country.
More than half of the country's population, or 51 percent, who visit cosmetic dentists are anywhere from the ages of 41 to 60. Of course, that leaves the other 49 percent to be filled in mostly by people who are older than this age range. But increasingly, since the typical cosmetic dentist Malibu has available is willing to work on patients of virtually all ages, more of the younger segment is coming in to have their teeth improved, either through teeth whitening or through any other type of procedure to improve their mouths, including getting a Malibu mini dental implant put in to replace missing teeth that were lost due to injury, accident, or fighting.
Of course, most every dentist Malibu has available who offers these cosmetic procedures will not work on young children or babies, even though babies start to form their teeth as early as six weeks after they are conceived. Instead, these dental professionals focus more on the general dentistry needs of their younger patients, checking for cavities and things like that rather than work to improve a smile. However, virtually every dentist Malibu has in practice will at least assess these younger patients' mouths to confirm what they are going to do.
This happens as well with older patients, meaning the typical dentist Malibu has available will work both on patients' general dentistry needs and their cosmetic ones too. They assist with conditions like halitosis, commonly called bad breath, which stems from a dental condition in about 85 percent of people. The typical dentist Malibu offers, then, will switch pretty seamlessly between perfecting patients' smiles and making sure they are healthy too.

A mother of two was arrested Tuesday evening after allegedly leaving her children in a frigid parked car in Waldorf, Md., for more than 90 minutes.
Regina Marie Coleman, 28, was arrested and charged with child neglect after her 6-year-old and 3-year-old daughters were found crying in her Cadillac Escalade outside the St. Charles Towne Center, according to the Charles County Sheriff's Office.
The girls both wore heavy coats but told officers they were cold. Officers noted the temperature was 16 degrees.
Once officers learned her name, they had mall security make an announcement to find Coleman. She found officers outside a department store and told them she was in the mall looking for her lost wallet and had only been gone about 10 minutes, according to the sheriff's office.
The officers investigated further and learned the woman had been in the department store more than 90 minutes, getting her makeup done, the sheriff's office said. They also found her wallet in her purse.
Coleman was charged with child neglect. The children were turned over to relatives.

A Superior Vietnamese Pork Chop at Paris Restaurant
We eat (and love) a lot more than sandwiches at Serious Eats, so in the spirit of A Sandwich a Day, here's Eat This Now, a quick look at food worth sharing. —The Mgmt.
It's been a little while since we've talked up Paris Restaurant, the cheap and mostly reliable Vietnamese spot on Mott Street in Chinatown. In that last look, I said we'd be back for some of the menu's more daring items. But frogs legs and curry mussels will have to wait for another day. It's time to talk pork chops.
There's no shortage of pork chops in this neighborhood, but Paris' rendition ($6) stands out. For one there's the size of the thing: three big blades of centimeter-thick pork spread across the plate. Then there's its crust, which is lacquered with sugar and fish sauce to an almost pastry-like crispness. And there's the meat itself, quite juicy and fairly tender, undeniably porky despite the intensity of its charred glaze. Our pork chop expert Robyn gives it her first class stamp of approval.
The dish is everything that's right about the cheap eats mentality: do great things with something thrifty and humble. For six bucks, it's a great thing to do to a pound of pork.

By Josh Looney
David Williams saw his Division II student-athlete experience come full circle in 2013 when he participated in numerous events that brought him closer to the division's 109,000 student-athletes.
The 1981 Bloomsburg University alum and former Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference tennis champion currently serves as president and chief executive officer of Make-A-Wish. It's through that leadership role that Williams has formed a unique bond with student-athletes who compete in Division II athletics events more than 30 years after Williams appeared in his final collegiate match.
"I'm not quite sure how I'd fare out there in today's college game," Williams joked during a Division II president's brunch at the 2013 Men's Final Four in Atlanta. "We were still playing with wooden tennis rackets when I was competing at Bloomsburg."
Competition is the common denominator linking Williams' nonprofit organization to current Division II student-athletes, as the division raised more than $517,000 for Make-A-Wish during the 2012-13 academic year. Fundraisers were student-athlete driven and coincided with many Division II athletics events.
"It's unbelievable," Williams said of the fundraising efforts. "That money is raised from students who are doing it by holding car washes, penny drives or collecting money for promotions at athletics events. It's just a dollar here and a dollar there, and for student-athletes to lead that kind of fundraising across Division II athletics is just amazing."
Division II began its alliance with Make-A-Wish in 2003 when DII SAAC member and Bentley volleyball player Nicole (DeBlois) Semeraro helped create a vision to align community efforts across all Division II institutions. Division II has seen steady growth of the partnership each year, but the initiative began to reach new levels when Williams became president and CEO in 2005.
"I think a lot of Division II student-athletes know people who have been impacted by the power of a wish," Williams said. "Many already have a sense of what Make-A-Wish is about and they want to do something to help out.
"Make-A-Wish gives kids the opportunity to think beyond their illness. They've been competing. They've been competing for their lives, and these wishes are something that they've been looking forward to. It's just a great celebration of life."
In 2013, the DII SAAC outlined a goal of building a deeper relationship with the former tennis player who leads Make-A-Wish. The group of student-athlete leaders began those efforts by inviting Williams to attend one of its quarterly meetings in Indianapolis.
Williams obliged, and then took relationship much further.
In addition to attending a Division II SAAC meeting, Williams joined two Make-A-Wish families that Division II hosted at the 2013 Final Four in Atlanta. While there, he addressed a group of Division II presidents, commissioners, athletics administrators and student-athletes prior to the Division II Men's Basketball Championship.
In the fall, Williams attended a nationally televised football game at his alma mater to accept a check from SAAC's 2012-13 fundraising efforts. But most important, as a result of those 40th Anniversary interactions, Williams has upped the ante for Division II student-athletes.
For 2014, Make-A-Wish is adding a new element to the partnership by matching every dollar that a Division II institution raises beyond its 2013 total; up to $1,000 per institution. Make-A-Wish is also working with top fundraising Division II institutions on hosting "wish reveal" parties for Make-A-Wish families.
"I don't know if David knows this or not, but he's made a tremendous impact on the student-athletes he's interacted with over the past year," said Division II SAAC chair Bradley Maldonado, a cross country student-athlete at Lincoln Memorial University. "David is a prime example of continuing to live out the core characteristics of the Division II student-athlete experience once our playing days are behind us."
Williams has served as a commencement speaker at Bloomsburg and remains an active supporter of the institution. In November, he returned to Bloomsburg with Huskies tennis alumni to help launch the Burt Reese Tennis Campaign - an endowed program to fund both scholarships and discretionary spending such as facility upkeep and team travel.

Kentucky v. King
Awful ruling handed down by the Supreme Court this morning in a case called Kentucky v. King [pdf]. The case concerns the power to break into a person's home without the occupant's consent and without a warrant. Our homes are supposed to be our castles–so the general rule is that the police must get an independent judge to approve a warrant application before the door can be forced open. There are a few common sense exceptions to the general rule. For example, if someone is screaming for help, the police can enter. Also if the police are in hot pursuit, they can follow the suspect on to private property and into a home under such circumstances. Today's ruling expands the exceptions to situations where the police suspect that the occupants of a house may be destroying contraband such as marijuana, cocaine, or other narcotics.
In this case, the police were after a drug dealer after he fled from a controlled‐buy transaction. The dealer entered some apartment but the police were unsure of the unit number. As the police got closer, they could smell marijuana coming from a nearby apartment. Instead of posting an officer nearby and applying for a warrant, they decided to bang on the door, shouting "Police!" Hearing some rustling inside, the police broke down the door so evidence could not be destroyed. The occupants were arrested on drug charges and they later challenged the legality of the police entry and search. (As it happens, the dealer the police were trying to capture was found in another apartment.)
The lower courts have generally frowned on what they describe as exigencies manufactured by police conduct, but the Supreme Court has now overturned those lower court precedents by a 8–1 vote. In dissent, Justice Ginsburg asked the right question: "How 'secure' do our homes remain if police, armed with no warrant, can pound on doors at will and, on hearing sounds indicative of things moving, forcibly enter and search for evidence of unlawful activity?" And the unfortunate answer to the question is, a lot less secure.
For more on the power to search, go here and here.

Murder for hire? Albemarle woman charged in foiled plot
A 62-year-old Albemarle woman has been arrested and jailed on charges of attempted murder for hire and attempted arson. Police say they were dispatched to the 2800 block of McCauley Court on April 16 by the intended victim and informed of the alleged plot, which was divulged by acquaintances of the victim before it could reach fruition.
Police arrested Linda Faye McDaniel of the 800 block of Mallside Forest on two warrants and took her to the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail.
Police Sergeant Darrell Byers says McDaniel appeared in court on the morning of Monday, April 18 where bail was set at $10,000. Whether McDaniel has obtained bond to get her from jail he could not say. He says that authorities don't plan to release the name of the intended victim.
This appears to be the first major murder-for-hire plot in this area since the Patrick Shemorry case resulted in a guilty plea in 2009.

The top IT security chiefs make salaries that can run over $1 million per year, but are they happy? Ponemon Institute, which interviewed about 700 security professionals in the top IT security spot at their companies to find out, learned they make big bucks but the job often feels stressful and isolated.
Ponemon Institute conducted interviews with 133 individuals who are "chief information security officers" (CISO), while the remainder at these U.S. based companies had assorted IT security job titles, all with top responsibility for data security. Ponemon, who conducted the research with SecureWorld, found median salary range for these security professionals was between $250,000 to $300,000 but there were those whose salaries soared far above, to over $1 million.
"There was quite a bit of variance," says Larry Ponemon, CEO and founder of the research firm, about the approximately 700 IT security chiefs, noting that at the low end, salaries were about $188,000 and at the high end, even hit $1.2 million.
CISOS at large companies and in certain industries such as tech and communications, for example, tended to see substantially higher salaries than those in other industries, such as retailing, he pointed out.
+MORE ON NETWORKWORLD: The worst security SNAFUs of 2013 | Decision to buy cyber-insurance usually leaves CISOs, CIO out of the loop +
According to Ponemon, the background to all this is that a company will often appoint a CISO because it had a data breach and the CISO is brought in with high expectations for assuring data security across the business.
CISOs typically carved out careers starting with computer security backgrounds, are inclined to be tech-minded "gearheads," while often hailing from law enforcement or the military. These corporate security pros have earned professional IT security certifications, such as CISSP or CISA. But adding graduate degrees, such as an MBA or law degree, increased their fortunes notably.
The research found that more than half of these top IT security chiefs reported to the company CIO, with the balance reporting to the chief financial officer (CFO), the vice president of risk management, or even just the business head of a division such as financial services.
Nonetheless, these top IT security chiefs showed evidence of discontent, departing from their companies after a just a couple of years, Ponemon points out. Sometimes they are looking for something better and their skills are generally in demand. One psychological element is this seems to be that the top IT security chiefs often feel "stuck at their level" because there's usually no other rung to climb in their organizations. But CISOs also "get blamed for bad things, such as cyber-attacks," he says. "The pattern is, a lot of people are very insecure about their jobs."
When things seem to be going well in their companies in terms of security, few people notice them, and they feel "invisible." But they are the ones in the hot seat when IT security problems happen. To make matters worse, these IT security chiefs feel frustrated by the "shadow IT" movement in which the lines of business people go around the IT department altogether in buying cloud-based services without consulting IT security. These days, even IT personnel engage in "shadow IT" by ordering cloud-based services.
Another high-pressure aspect of the top IT security job is always fighting for budget dollars and the standard return-on-investment budget models don't really help them much. But the way the "bad guys" are attacking is always changing, Ponemon adds.
Though most IT security pros believe deeply in the merits of their jobs, one aspect of it is particularly hard on them, and that's having to strongly criticize or stop data-sharing practices at their companies that they deem high risk. "It's pretty lonely because you're saying 'no' to people," Ponemon points out, adding, but to be competent, "you sometimes have to."

Simone has worked in many different industries around the world. She has owned companies, created them, managed them, changed them all with an enthusiasm to invite people to a different possibility in the world.
"I grew up with the question of 'Imagine what you would do if you knew you could not fail?' – to me you cannot fail, failure is just the start of something new" says Simone.
Simone has always believed that anything is possible and desired to inspire people to choose everything they could.
"True leadership is knowing where you are heading and not allowing anyone to stop you. You have to know what you wish to create." Simone is the worldwide coordinator of Access Consciousness, a forever expanding company in over 176 countries.

Access has been such an amazing gift in my life, so I wish to invite you to empower yourself to show up more in life. Access can assist you in every part of your life. You are an infinite being and a great and glorious creator. Claim, own and acknowledge it. You are a gift to you and everyone else the more you claim your total perceiving, knowing, being and receiving in life.
For me, receiving was something so alien to me… I remember the first time Gary suggested that "if I was more open to receiving I would have more fun in life, make more money and everything would be easier"… I truly thought this man was mad or what he was saying was so strange to me, I did not believe that I was allowed to receive. I thought it was all about giving. Now have you ever experienced receiving from gifting? Most people operate from the give & take program... what if you were to function from gifting & receiving? What would that look like?
You're reading this website so my perception is you are already asking the universe and yourself questions….
"How does it get any better than this?"
I am available for Private Sessions with Access and co-ordinate classes around Australia.
With a session of Access it can start to erase all the areas of your life where you have locked yourself up in a fixed point of view, created a judgement and not allowed yourself to receive the greatness of you. There are hands on processes for the body and energetic clearings (which can be done over the phone).
If you wish to contact me to find out more…. If you are REALLY wishing for more to show up in your life then please call me. This stuff is awesome, a little weird sometimes, but hey as the mantra of Access is:
"All of life comes to us with ease and joy and glory"
And we would not choose Ease, Joy & Glory for what reason?

Geobor S Tripe tube core barrel
Add Time:
S Geobor wireline core barrel
Atlas Copco Terracore S Geobor wireline
Unique core drilling project
Deep core sampling in ancient rock may help scientists to discover one of the biggest mysteries of evolution – when and how life on land first began.
Contractors at the drilling site in the UK were faced with the challenge of recovering cores, perfectly intact, at depths of 500 m. They exceeded all expectations with their equipment of choice – Roschen's S Geobor drill system.
At a remote site near Berwick-on-Tweed, a town in The Borders region between England and Scotland, drilling and sampling has been carried out by Drilcorp Ltd, of Seaham, County Durham, experts in exploratory, geotechnical and deep hole drilling using Roschen's S Geobor coring equipment.
Extreme flexibility
The unique S Geobor wireline, triple tube core barrel system is part of the extensive Atlas Copco Terracore range of core drilling tools. It was developed specifically to cope with site investigations requiring high quality, cost-effective production coring in difficult situations. It is a highly flexible system offering large core drilling and sampling in the 146 –150 mm range in soft to medium hard formations, both consolidated and fragmented, using all common coring methods. The triple core barrel assembly consists of three tubes – an outer tube fitted with a set bit, a middle tube, and a plastic liner which is used to cover and protect the core. Among the many advantages of this design is that the non-coring pilot bit can be easily removed and replaced and cores can be extracted continuously and efficiently while leaving the outer coring equipment in place in the hole. Using this system, together with its own drilling equipment, Drilcorp achieved an average drilling rate of 25–30 meter per day through shales, sandstones, cemented bands and beds of evaporates. And despite the delicate strata and the presence of two geological faults, the S Geobor recovered an almost perfect 102 mm diameter core throughout the length of the 500 m deep borehole.
Drilcorp Ltd Challenge: To achieve 100 % cores recovery at a depth of 500 m for scientific research into the evolution of life on Earth.
S Geobor triple core barrel
Easy to use. Reliable and flexible. Unmatched core recovery in challenging ground formations. Capable of drilling and sampling in all types of formations. Solid track record in drilling deep holes. Can easily be converted to non coring while drill rods remain in the hole.
The S Geobor triple core barrel successfully completed the project with an average drilling rate of 25–30 m per day through shales, sandstones, cemented bands and beds of evaporates. Despite the delicate strata and the presence of two geological faults, the S Geobor equipment met the demand for a 100 per cent recovery of 102 mm diameter cores, throughout the length of the borehole.

for details about adding state permit and regulatory information.
Federal Regulations and Permits for Solar Development
Federal land management agencies often have authority to allow development on federal land. For solar facilities the land managing agency will generally grant access to the land via a right-of-way (ROW) rather than a lease. The use of the land must conform to the Land Use Plan (LUP) that has been established by the agency, and if it does not, a revision or amendment of the plan may be required. The managing agency will be required to perform a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis before issuing the ROW. In addition, land management agencies will often condition the ROW on the procurement of all other permits required for the construction of the facility.
It should be noted that some agencies have developed programs tailored specifically to solar development on federal land. In some cases, the agencies have developed a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement that can be used to shorten the NEPA process. In others, the managing agency has developed a series of policies that are designed to streamline solar ROW applications. The relevant managing agency should be contacted for more information regarding the solar ROW application process.
Land Use Planning
Solar projects on federal land must be consistent with the applicable Land Use Plan (LUP). Most federal lands are managed either by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or the United States Forest Service (USFS). The BLM's land use planning authority is found in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) and many other public laws. FLPMA requires the BLM to develop and maintain LUPs called Resource Management Plans (RMPs) that cover individual planning units. The USFS' land use planning authority is found in the National Forest Management Act of 1976. The LUPs, called Land Management Plans (LMPs), are prepared and implemented for each National Forest.
Land Access
Siting a solar utility project on federal land requires permission from the managing agency. As stated above, federal land managing agencies will generally grant permission for utility-scale solar development in the form of a ROW. A ROW can be any legal instrument that authorizes a holder to use and/or occupy federal land under a grant. Most land management agencies have general regulations governing applications for a ROW, and some agencies have also promulgated specific procedures that relate specifically to solar development.
A NEPA analysis will usually have to be performed before the ROW can be issued. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) established policy and goals for the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of the environment and outlines the process for implementing these goals within federal agencies. Projects that involve a "major federal action" trigger the NEPA process. Issuing a ROW on federal land generally requires a NEPA analysis.
In some cases, the land management agency will develop Programmatic Environmental Impact Statements which can be used to shorten and streamline the NEPA process. For example, the BLM has developed a Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (SPEIS) for six southwestern states. The SPEIS provides NEPA analysis that can be applied to ROW applications and also outlines the BLM's solar ROW application process and policies.
In addition, some agencies charge varying fees depending on whether the solar facility is producing energy. For example, the BLM rental schedule for utility-scale solar ROWs consists of two components. The first component is an annual, per acre base rental fee. The fee is based on the value of the land subject to the ROW. The initial base rent is due upon the issuance of the ROW. The second component is a megawatt (MW) capacity fee. The MW capacity fee is charged on an annual basis, starting when the facility begins producing electricity. The MW capacity fee is implemented over five years after the start of electrical generation to allow for diligent testing and operation, with the fee increasing by 20% each year.
Power Plant
Developers seeking to construct a utility-scale solar facility on federal lands must obtain a ROW or lease and all other necessary permits. Developers may choose to seek status as a Qualifying Facility under the Public Utilities Regulatory Act (PURPA). Qualifying Facility (QF) status allows the developers to sell energy or capacity to a utility, to purchase certain services from utilities, and provides relief from certain regulatory burdens. Developers may also qualify as Exempt Wholesale Generators if they are independent power producers that exclusively sell energy to wholesale customers and complete the self-certification process overseen by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Obtaining EWG status can exempt the generator from certain reporting and accounting regulations under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and allows the generator to sell power at market-based rates.

The Baseball Hall of Fame is great to write about because the topic resonates so strongly with readers. That was the case again last week, when I received numerous letters after I had opined about Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, gambling, steroids and how they all relate to the Hall.
The Baseball Hall of Fame is great to write about because the topic resonates so strongly with readers. That was the case again last week, when I received numerous letters after I had opined about Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, gambling, steroids and how they all relate to the Hall.
That and other subjects fill this edition of Mike's Mailbag.
From Galen Noard, Hennepin: "Yes to Bonds because he was good before the alleged use of a banned substance but shame on Rose for betting after he played and rang up unbelievable numbers in the sport? I don't understand the reasoning. Not that I care if either one doesn't make the Hall of Fame."
From Robert Bowers, Washington, Ill.: "You stated you would vote to induct Barry Bonds into the Baseball Hall of Fame because he already had the numbers (before allegedly taking performance-enhancing drugs). What numbers were you referring to, hat and biceps sizes? Your willingness to give him a pass shows your lack of character. Perhaps you should reconsider voting Pete Rose into the Hall. He has the numbers, too."
From Robert Langellier, Springfield: "Once Rose had amassed 4,200-plus hits, 2,000-plus runs, 1,300-plus RBIs and a collective .303 batting average over 24 seasons that included 17 All-Star selections, a Rookie of the Year and eight times finishing in the top 10 for MVP, he retired from baseball. After THAT, he (became) a manager and cheated on baseball."
From Allen, email@example.com: "For what it's worth, here are Bonds' numbers through 1999: .288 BA; .409 OBP; .599 slugging; 445 HRs; 1,299 RBIs; 460 SBs. Three MVPs and nine Gold Gloves, also. But I wouldn't vote him in; I'd invoke the character clause. These guys should pay a price for their choices."
NADEL SAYS: Almost exactly five years ago, I wrote that I'd have voted for Rose had he been eligible for the Hall instead of being permanently suspended for betting on the team he managed. I put that in my first draft last week, but the column was getting long and it got cut during my editing process. I wish I had left it in!
(Speaking of long columns ... I received hundreds of letters I couldn't fit into today's piece. To read more, go to my blog, The Baldest Truth, at www.thebaldesttruth.com .)
I can't reconsider voting for Rose because his eligibility for the Baseball Writers Association of America ballot long ago expired, and I doubt the Veterans Committee ever will let him into their exclusive club.
As for Bonds and other implicated Steroid Era stars, I merely stated where I was leaning in each case. As reader Allen illustrated, Bonds had Hall of Fame stats before he reportedly started juicing in '99. It will be years before I have to vote; by then, many more facts will emerge.
From Randy Ryner, Springfield: "Right on concerning the firing of Scott Skiles. Virtually all coaching changes are just public relations, with not much to do with team performance."
NADEL SAYS: Now that Bulls players, GM John Paxson and team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf no longer are "burdened" by Skiles, lets see how well they do their jobs from here on out.
From Leah Casteel, Lake Villa: "If Chicago's beloved Bears were to hit Hollywood, which movies would they star in? Brian Urlacher, 'The Parent Trap'; Lance Briggs, 'Gone in 60 Seconds'; Brian Griese, 'Liar, Liar'; Ricky Manning Jr., 'The Usual Suspects'; Devin Hester, 'Catch Me if You Can'; the offensive line, 'Hollow Man'; the defense, 'Pulp Fiction'; Ron Turner, 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?'; Lovie Smith, 'Groundhog Day'; Rex Grossman, 'Unforgiven.' And finally ... Mike Nadel, 'Stranger Than Fiction.'
NADEL SAYS: I can't top that, so I won't even try!
From Lt. Jeff Kirkendoll, Springfield (written from Camp Victory, Baghdad): "Reading what you have to say has given me a break from the crap over here in Iraq. Keep up the good work and keep safe."
NADEL SAYS: Me keep safe? The only thing I have to dodge here are e-mails from angry readers and the occasional stream of tobacco spit from a ballplayer. So YOU keep safe, lieutenant, and thanks for the nice words.
From Steve Stocker, firstname.lastname@example.com: "To imply Kyle Orton is 258 percent better than the NFL's only three-time MVP is crazy. Also, to say (the Bears) are superior (to the) 12-3 Packers ... you do the math."
NADEL SAYS: Really? Orton isn't better than Brett Favre and the Bears aren't better than the Packers? Wow. Now that I've been educated, I can imply something else: This reader wouldn't know sarcasm if it clunked him on the head. Thankfully, the next reader, like most others, got it.
From Justin Hocker, Pekin: "Your column on the Bears-Packers game sure had a slant only a negative sportswriter like you could write. Instead of writing how the Bears at least did not roll over ... you took the easy way out and mocked how good the Bears will be next year. Wishing you a more positive New Year in 2008!"
NADEL SAYS: I'd apologize for being negative about the Bears if I had reason to apologize. I won't pat pro athletes on the back for showing up and doing what they're paid megamillions to do. If the 2008 Bears don't want to be mocked, all they have to do is put a better product on the field for the loyal fans who pay their salaries. And if you think I'm "negative," check out a few letters from your fellow fans.
From Don Kindilien, Dahinda: "I can't believe these guys are allowed to wear the uniform. In business, if folks do not perform, they're gone."
From Mike Sherman, Springfield: "Super Bowl team to Toilet Bowl team. 2008 will determine if Lovie Smith will continue as coach. A good coach would not allow the bad play-calling by the coaches and the inept play.
From Nathan Johns, Peoria: "The Bears were one missed field goal and one boneheaded Matt Hasselbeck interception from being bounced in the first round last year. It's cute that the team and its fans had Super Bowl aspirations, but it's time for a reality check."
NADEL SAYS: See what I mean? Rough crowd.
From Lisa Baize, Brimfield: "The Bears should re-sign Rex and look for a solid prospect in the draft. At least with Rex, they know what they have."
From A.J. Ward, Springfield: "Fans were once dying for Brian Griese's consistent mediocrity and ability to not turn the ball over. Well, we've come to find Griese throws as many picks as Grossman. Rex scares me to death, but he might be our best bet."
NADEL SAYS: So what you're saying is that Rex is 516 percent better than Favre?
From Michael Beckman, Springfield: "I'm not sure I can agree with you about giving (Illinois point guard) Chester Frazier some slack. He makes poor decisions with the ball, he can't shoot and he can't hit free throws. Bottom line is Chester is not a very good player and should never have been offered a scholarship by Bruce Weber."
From Harley Henson, Springfield: "Weber needs to get Frazier out of the lineup and use him as a sub. Weber should know by now Frazier isn't a point guard. I have watched the Illini for 40 years, but it's hard to watch this team."
From Joe Kappes, Brimfield: "Weber has nothing for next year, either. The year after that, he has some talent already committed, but I think he will suffer for several years before the talent gets up to speed. It's a shame because I think he is a good coach and person."
NADEL SAYS: It's not Chester's fault that he's Chester; it's the coach's fault for not finding a better point guard. I agree with reader Kappes about Weber, and I hope Bruce is still around to see the influx of young talent down the road.
From Bill Zimmer, Varna: "As a long-time Illini fan, I'm glad to see them go to a bowl game. But the Rose Bowl? No damn way. Mizzou got shafted. And the BCS sucks. Go to a playoff system!"
NADEL SAYS: I couldn't have said it any better. My disillusionment with the system is why, for the third straight year, I won't watch one second of one bowl game. I hope some folks join in my BCS boycott -- although I hardly can blame Illini fans for peeking at the Rose Bowl.
