Jackson Houses by Hays Town
Instructor: Todd Sanders

Many people who are familiar with the architect Albert Hays Town know about the elegant houses he designed in the last quarter of the 20th century based on the historic vernacular architecture of his native Louisiana. These houses were built all over Louisiana and into neighboring states including Mississippi. But did you know that he actually began his architecture career in Mississippi during the 1920s working for one of Mississippi's greatest architects, N.W. Overstreet? And did you know that his first brush with fame as an architect came with his, and Mr. Overstreet's, design for a very modern school building constructed in the 1930s?
In this class, we will look at Mr. Town's earliest designs which reflect the modern architecture of the day. We will also examine how his involvement with the Historic American Buildings Survey during the Great Depression, where he helped to document many antebellum houses in Natchez, influenced his architectural style shown in the many houses for which he is so well known. We will end our discussion of Mr. Town's architecture by looking at many of the great Mississippi houses he designed in the 1980s and 90s.
Todd Sanders has a B.A. in history and a master's degree in architectural history from Mississippi State University. He has worked as an architectural historian with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History since 1999.

This course will teach the basic skills of guitar accompaniment: the most common major, minor, and 7th chords, various strumming patterns, chord groupings, and a representative selection of folk songs. (Reading will not be taught in this course.)

Following a tough loss in which Crete-Monee gave up an uncharacteristic 61 points, defensive tackle John Mitchell knows that his team's poor start on defense cost them an opportunity against one of the state's best teams in Brother Rice.
"We just needed to come back together," Mitchell said. "We weren't really playing together and staying focused."
But Mitchell himself turned in a solid performance. The 6'3", 300 pound lineman was disruptive and made the interior run game difficult for Brother Rice. His improvement from last year is notable.
"I've been working on coming off the ball faster and being explosive," he said. "That and keeping my motor going throughout the play."
That hard work has paid off, and Mitchell has noticed a difference in his ability to get penetration and generate pressure.
"I think my best qualities are getting off the ball well and getting pressure on the quarterback," Mitchell said.
On the recruiting front, Mitchell hasn't been overly vocal about where things stand. However, with college football underway, he did indicate that he would like to begin getting to some colleges for games and visits.
"I'm keeping my options open and looking at all the schools," he admitted. "I'm wanting to get to any that I can get to."
One school that has been thoroughly involved in Mitchell's recruitment is the in-state Illini. Illinois offered Mitchell early in the process and are really targeting defensive linemen in this class.
"I'm looking at Illinois, and I want to get down there for a visit," Mitchell said. "I know they've been doing well because they have a good coaching staff now that's been around the NFL and have experience. Everyone's been keeping in touch with me, and I'm doing my best to keep in touch with them."
Mitchell is still working through the process, but says that he still mainly wants to find a school where he feels like he fits in well and is comfortable with the direction of the program.
"I'm still really looking at the same things in the schools," he said of his priorities. "I just want to feel comfortable with the coaches and the players and make sure I fit in the program."

Recognizing Developmental Delays in Your Child: Ages 3 to 5
As you watch your child grow, keep in mind that each child develops at his or her own pace and that the range of normal is quite wide. However, it is helpful to be able to recognize signs of potential developmental delays in one or more areas of emotional, mental, or physical growth.
If you wonder whether your child is experiencing a delay, don't wait to find out. See your child's doctor right away. Early intervention is the best way to help him or her make progress. Unfortunately, fewer than half of all children with developmental delays are identified before starting school.
What Are Developmental Delays in Children?
There are many different types of developmental delays in children. They might have problems in the areas of:
- Language or speech
- Movement, or motor skills
- Emotional and social skills
- Thinking, or cognitive skills
Here are warning signs for different types of delays that may show up from ages 3 to 5, as well as some of the causes of developmental delays and their potential types of treatment.
Language and Speech Delays in Children
Language and speech problems are the most common type of developmental delay. Speech refers to verbal expression, including the way words are formed. Language is a broader system of expressing and receiving information, such as being able to understand directions.
Possible causes. A wide variety of problems may cause these language and speech delays, including:
- Exposure to more than one language.
- A learning disability.
- Hearing loss: Hearing may change often in children who have recurrent middleear infections.
- Autism, a disorder that impairs social interaction, or other similar disorders.
Types of treatment. If you or child's doctor suspects a developmental delay, seek an evaluation by a speech-language pathologist. This specialist may use speech therapy with your child. The specialist or doctor may also suggest that you:
- Communicate more with your child; talk, sing, encourage repetition.
- Read daily to your child.
- Reinforce speech and language throughout the day.
- Get treatment for middle ear infections.
Warning signs of speech or language delays
Contact your child's doctor if your child has any of these signs at these ages. In addition to these red flags, watch for any loss of skills already learned.
By 3 years
- Your child cannot talk in short phrases.
By 4 years
- Doesn't use sentences of more than three words.
- Uses "me" and "you" incorrectly.
By 5 years
- Has trouble understanding two-part commands with prepositions ("under" or "on").
- Cannot give first and last name.
- Doesn't use plurals or past tense the right way.
- Does not talk about daily activities.
Motor Skill Delays in Children
Delays in children may be related to problems with gross motor skills such as playing ball, or fine motor skills, such as coloring.
Possible causes. Children who have been institutionalized, lack stimulation, or have autism, may have what's called "sensory integration dysfunction." This complex disorder can cause a variety of problems with the senses, including:
- Problems planning and coordinating movement.
- Fearful reactions to ordinary movements or an excessive need to seek out sensory input, such as by rocking, spinning, or hand-flapping.
- Extreme reactions to touch, textures, or pain.
These are other possible causes of motor difficulties, although most are rare:
- Problems with vision.
- Ataxia, a defect that impairs muscle coordination.
- Myopathy, a disease of the muscles.
Types of treatment. For motor delays, your child's doctor may suggest taking certain steps at home to encourage more physical activity. Your child may also need:
- Physical therapy for gross motor delays.
- Occupational therapy for fine motor delays or sensory integration problems.
Warning signs of motor skill delays
Contact your child's doctor if your child has any of these signs of motor delays at these ages. Remember to also watch for any loss of skills already learned.
By 3 years
- Your child falls often and may have trouble going up and down stairs.
- Drools often and has unclear speech.
- Has trouble working with small objects.
- Cannot build a tower of more than 4 blocks.
By 4 years
- Cannot throw a ball overhead.
- Cannot jump in place.
- Cannot ride a tricycle.
- Cannot grasp a crayon between thumb and fingers or has trouble scribbling.
- Cannot stack four blocks.
By 5 years
- Cannot build a tower of six to eight blocks.
- Seems uncomfortable holding a crayon.
- Has trouble taking off clothing.
- Cannot brush teeth well.
- Cannot wash and dry hands.
Social and Emotional Delays in Children
Children may experience problems interacting with adults or other children -- considered social and emotional delays -- which usually show up before school.
Possible causes. Some causes of social and emotional delays include:
- Neglect, such as from early institutionalization.
- Ineffective parenting.
- Weak attachment.
Another common cause of social and emotional delays is called pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). This group of disorders also causes communication problems, ranging from mild to severe. PDD includes:
- Autism, a complex yet common disorder.
- Asperger's syndrome, a condition similar to autism.
- Childhood disintegrative disorder, which typically occurs in children ages 3 to 4.
- Rett's syndrome, which often includes mental retardation and occurs mostly in girls.
Types of treatment. There is no known cure for PDD. However, treatment may include:
- Medication to help with behavioral problems.
- Special types of behavioral therapy.
In addition, learning therapeutic parenting skills may help promote healthy attachment, and social and emotional skills, in your child.
Warning signs of social or emotional delays
Contact your child's doctor right away if your child has any of these signs of social and emotional delays at these ages. Make sure to observe any loss of skills already learned.
By 3 years
- Shows little interest in other children.
- Has extreme trouble separating from parents or caregivers.
- Has poor eye contact.
By 4 years
- Clings or cries whenever parents leave.
- Ignores other children.
- Doesn't respond to people outside of the family.
- Lashes out when angry or upset.
- Resists dressing, sleeping, or using the toilet.
By 5 years
- Is very fearful, timid, sad, or aggressive much of the time, or doesn't show a wide range of emotions.
- Is unable to separate from parents without difficulty.
- Shows little interest in fantasy play or playing with other children.
Cognitive Delays in Children
Problems with thinking and cognitive skills may occur due to genetic defects, environmental factors, disease, prematurity, nervous system abnormalities, oxygen deprivation during childbirth, and even accidents.
Possible causes. Common causes of cognitive delays include:
- A poor learning environment.
- Institutionalization or neglect during infancy or early childhood.
- A wide range of learning disabilities.
- Exposure to alcohol or toxins during pregnancy.
- One of the pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs), such as autism.
Types of treatment. As with most types of delays, early intervention for cognitive delays can make a big difference in the progress your child makes. Depending upon the diagnosis, treatment may include:
- Medication in rare cases.
- Play therapy or occupational therapy.
- Special education.
Warning signs of cognitive delays
Contact your child's doctor if your child has any of these signs of cognitive delays at these ages:
By 3 years
- Trouble copying a circle.
- Cannot understand simple instructions.
- Does not become involved in "pretend" or "make-believe" play.
- Shows limited interest in toys.
By 4 years
- Shows no interest in interactive games.
- Doesn't become involved in fantasy play.
- Cannot copy a circle.
By 5 years
- Is easily distracted.
- Is unable to concentrate on a single activity for more than five minutes.
Remember: There is a wide range of normal development in children. Most developmental delays in children are not serious, and most children can eventually catch up. Even children who do have serious delays can make big improvements -- when treatment begins as early as possible.

The Chinese nature gone amok comedy Million Dollar Crocodile is on its way to American DVD in February with a new title that could garner Screen Media Films a phone call from Toho's legal department: Croczilla.
Starring Reign of Assassins' Barbie Hsu and Hong Kong character actor Lam Suet, Million Dollar Crocodile was released in its native land this past summer. On February 12, 2013, Screen Media Films will be releasing it on US DVD under the Syfy-riffic new title Croczilla.
Fasten your seatbelts when a rampaging two-ton crocodile with an insatiable appetite is set loose in the city. With the army on the hunt, Croczilla will terrorize innocent people while a sexy model tries to recover millions from its belly. In the tradition of Jaws and Piranha, Croczilla is a wild ride of a creature feature, showing that Japan was just the appetizer!
Seems kind of a shame that a motion picture entitled Croczilla is finally coming into existence, but from reviews I've read, the film is said to be reasonably enjoyable, yet far more of a family-friendly screwball comedy than anything even remotely resembling the rampaging crocodile flick it's being marketed as.

Internationally best-sellling poet Christian Bök has spent more than ten years writing what promises to be the first example of 'living poetry.' After successfully demonstrating his concept in a colony of E. coli, Bök is on the verge of enciphering a beautiful, anomalous poem into the genome of an unkillable bacterium (Deinococcus radiodurans), which can, in turn, "read" his text, responding to it by manufacturing a viable, benign protein, whose sequence of amino acids enciphers yet another poem. The engineered organism might conceivably serve as a post-apocalyptic archive, capable of outlasting our civilization. Book I of The Xenotext constitutes a kind of 'demonic grimoire,' providing a scientific framework for the project with a series of poems, texts, and illustrations. A Virgilian welcome to the Inferno, Book I is the "orphic" volume in a diptych, addressing the pastoral heritage of poets, who have sought to supplant nature in both beauty and terror. The book sets the conceptual groundwork for the second volume, which will document the experiment itself. The Xenotext is experimental poetry in the truest sense of the term. 'Many artists seek to attain immortality through their art, but few would expect their work to outlast the human race and live on for billions of years. As Canadian poet Christian Bök has realized, it all comes down to the durability of your materials.' -- The Guardian

Fly Fishing Guide to Abrams Creek GSMNP Tennessee
The easy to get to water is in the upper section of the creek near Abrams Falls Trail Parking
Lot, and by hiking upstream from Abrams Campground at the South end of the park. The
difficult to access water lies in two big curves in the stream's course called the Little and Big
Horseshoes. When you fish either of the two horseshoes you must commit to complete the
journey the entire length or you may not be able to get back to the trail before dark. The Big
Horseshoe takes a full day to fish its mile long stretch and the Little Horseshoe about a half
Due to its higher pH, Abrams Creek is very slippery compared to other streams in the park.
You have to be careful wading, especially if you make the trip around the horseshoe
sections. The higher alkaline level of the spring creek like water provides a huge diversity
and abundance of food for the trout.
Abrams Creek is considered by many anglers to be one of the best streams in the park. It
has a much better water chemistry than other streams in the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park and consequently, good quality fish. Abrams Creek receives much of its water
from Anthony Creek, which for the most part, flows underground through the Cove. The
streams passage through limestone which raises the PH of the water.
If you plan on fishing Abrams from the Cades Cover area, and you certainly should, you
should be aware of the gate opening and closing times at Cades Cove Road. You should
also be aware of the possible heavy traffic. If you fish the stream during autumn' s leaf-
looker season, for example, then you would certainly need to allow for a slow ride through
the valley not to mention the probable bear jams.
Accessing the stream from Cades Cove can be good or bad depending on several things. If
you get there first you should certainly hope that other anglers that may appear later are
courteous and respectful of the water you choose to fish. If you are willing to make a day of it
and wade either of the horseshoe curves that leave the trail, here again, make sure you are
there first or you may be following those that beat you there all day.
The rainbow trout in Abrams Creek are as large or larger as any found in the park and there
is a valid reason for it. The stream has an ample abundance of food for the trout to eat. If
you are adapt to fishing Pennsylvania's spring creeks, then you will be challenged to fish the
upper spring creek portion of Abrams Creek. If not, and your luck depends heavily on
surprising the opportunistically feeding trout, you should head downstream. The farther you
fish downstream, the more the creek looses its spring creek characteristics and become
more like a freestone stream. Downstream of the confluence of Mill Creek, the stream
becomes part high alkalinity level, spring creek water and part low alkalinity level, acidic
water that is still great for the trout.
Abrams Creek has several tributary streams: Rabbit, Panther and Mill Creeks are the main
ones. Mill Creek enters the stream at the Abrams Falls parking area. Mill Creek is about the
same size as Abrams Creek is at that point. The different types of water in these two
streams becomes very obviously at this point. The color of the limestone spring creek type
water and the acidic water of Mill Creek mixes in sharp contrast. Not far upstream from its
confluence with Abrams Creek, Mill Creek receives water from another freestone stream,
Forage Creek. Above that point, Mill Creek is very small and tightly covered stream.
Forage Creek is a small stream tributary of Mill Creek that is covered by the overhanging
limbs of trees and brush and slightly difficult to fish. It is usually full of small, eager rainbows
that are fun to catch. Forage Creek is easily accessed.
Rabbit Creek enters Abrams Creek about three and one-half miles upstream of the Abrams
Creek Campground. It can also be accessed via the Rabbit Creek Trail if you care to hike
almost 5 miles from the trailhead at the Abrams Falls parking area. This is too far for most
anglers to hike when they can fish Abrams Creek and probably catch more trout.
Nevertheless, those anglers that care to camp at the remote campsite may well choose to
fish Rabbit Creek over Abrams Creek at least for a portion of their camping trip. The
uppermost part of the stream can be reached from Parson's Branch Road but it is very small
at this point. Rainbows are the main species you will catch in Rabbit Creek.
Panther Creek is yet another tributary stream of Abrams Creek. It intersects Abrams Creek
upstream of the Abrams Creek Campground but it is easier to access the upper portion of
the stream from the Parson Branch Road. This small stream normally has a very good
population of rainbows.
Strictly judging things in terms of the quality and size of the rainbow trout, Abrams Creek
ranks higher than any stream in the park. It doesn't have any brown trout, although some
say it did in the past. It is also a tough stream to fish in terms of getting around in the stream.
We couldn't say it is the best stream in the park but could say, it is one of the best ones.

Amazing Cosbars
We're a small production company based in Los Angeles that's been producing a lot of internet content and DVD / Blu-Ray special features. We recently picked up a great corporate client so our business is growing, and we're working on our first feature film.
We do a lot of quirky & fun work, but we also need to present ourselves as professional to our present (a vineyard / adult beverage company) and future corporate clients.
We presently have a vintage circus branding thing going on (look at our outdated website http://www.amazingcosbars.com to see our present logo) and we like that; the circus thing matches with our quirky work, and the turn of the century feel gives it a little sophistication that can work with our more serious clients. However our current image lacks some polish and we'd like something new.

Kiran Karnik, Suman Bery on the panel
Religare Enterprises Ltd (REL), an integrated financial services group, reaffirmed its goal of setting up a banking platform in India by setting up an Advisory Panel. The Panel consists of luminaries in diverse fields of policy formulation, economics, banking, development finance & technology-all elements critical to developing a new paradigm in banking-one that meets the policy agenda of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and commercial viability. The panel will support management's efforts in charting out the Group's banking strategy and its application for a new banking license under the guidelines to be issued by the RBI.
REL further announced that Suman Bery and Kiran Karnik have already joined the Advisory Panel and that additional members would be announced shortly.

So have you seen the Moto X ad yet? Two people jumping off into a lake – one with his arms and legs spread-eagled and the other stretched vertically. Does it look like an X I to you? For the uninitiated, that's 11 in Roman numerals. And now there's word that Google is holding an event on July 11 for a very select group of journalists. You see where we are going with this…
Leo Laporte, a tech industry veteran, revealed that he had received a personal invitation from Guy Kawasaki, Motorola and Google adviser, for the event, which will be held on July 10 and 11 for two hand-picked groups of journalists and industry insiders. With Google launching the promotions for Moto X this week, it's only natural that anything from Motorola from this point onwards will be attached to the Moto X project. But since Kawasaki was tightlipped about other details of the event, it's still anybody's guess as to what Google and Motorola have planned.
Hints at a date or just two really happy people?
Quashing the rumour of a Moto X announcement, CNET says that their sources have revealed that this particular event will not be about the much-awaited Motorola comeback. So you will agree when we say this one is still up in the air.
Moto X talk is only just getting started and with some details about the level of customisation that could be on offer already coming through, we can be certain that more and more information will be revealed in the coming days.

She's the pretty Woods to look at.
Writer at GolfOnline.com Attempts Eldrick Humor
By Kickntrue on 1/31/07
I found an article by Cameron Morfit at GolfOnline.com. He makes a list of 16 rules that should apply to Tiger to make the PGA Tour events and equal playing field. I personally think it's a bit hit or miss, but some of it is decent. You can get a kick out of it if you'd like.
These are my favorites.

In a world that has witnessed many destructive and disastrous storms and hurricanes, the need to better track these extreme weather events have become pertinent. Storm hunting simply connotes gathering knowledge about the processes occurring inside storms and how these processes affect storm formation and intensification. This has enabled scientists to forecast the tracks of storms and hurricanes and predict more accurately the intensity of future storms.
Storm hunting has witnessed many advancements in the last several decades. Originally, scientists used hurricane-hunting planes to send dropsondes (which are instruments that float down with a parachute) to gather data on a storm. These traditional instruments were unable to fly above 5,000 feet due to their inability to weather through extreme turbulence. A storm's intensity is driven by multiple factors, which made storm hunting difficult with the traditional instruments. These factors range from large-scale elements, such as winds that steer the storms, to smaller-scale ones that include how individual clouds organize themselves into bigger cloud systems. The latter was difficult to observe in space and time, in part because it occurs across only a few hundred kilometers. In recent years, researchers have been able to develop hurricane-proof data-gathering drones that can fly above 5,000 feet.
On September 10, 2013, NASA scientists made a landmark in the world of unmanned aircraft systems. They successfully studied the storm using a drone that was able to fly above the swirling mass of clouds to examine how storm forms and grows. The drone which was in the form of an airplane was dubbed Global Hawk . The Global Hawk was designed such that it enables scientists witness the life cycles of tropical storms and hurricanes by helping researchers in studying them. These observations help scientists in developing more accurate models projecting the path of storms and determining whether or not they will gather strengths. The NASA's Global Hawk drones have relatively small bodies, with a wingspan that stretches 35 meters. The all-white flying machines are able to perform long flights for an average of 18-24 hours over altitudes as high as 60,000 feet. The Global hawk uses a variety of equipment including dopsondes, which measure temperature, moisture, and wind speed when dropped from the flying robot.
Similarly, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) successfully launched its unmanned aerial vehicle into Hurricane Edouard from one of its hurricane-hunter aircraft. The flying robot, named Coyote is a winged, 7-pound drone. It is designed such that when dropped from a plane, can descend slowly all the way through the core of a storm. It is able to fly for two hours on its own. The flying machine uses GPS device to transmit data, used by scientists to understand how storm intensifies and to accurately predict the impact of a storm. Its relative lightweight design enables it to fly with the wind directed up, down and sideways to currents. This makes it possible for the drone to measure the storm's inner core and storm activity at the lowest altitudes. The invention of these advanced drones have helped officials in preparing adequately for possible hurricanes. Thus, reducing potential disasters from these extreme weather events.
