If you're in a pickup traveling at the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Why isn't "phonetic" spelled the way it sounds? Why is it when you transport something by car or truck it's called a shipment, but when something is moved by ship it's called cargo? If a cow started laughing uncontrollably, would milk come out her nose? If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped the cat from a height, what would happen? Could the world get any more confusing?
It seems our young people are constantly being bombarded with "cultural changes" at the speed of light, and the longer I live, the more oxymorons I have to deal with. No, an oxymoron is not a hyperventilating fool, although I think in the midst of the humanitarian invasion upon the private citizenry of this country, an additional meaning of sorts could possibly be applied to the actions of some people today. An oxymoron is a figure of speech combining contradictory words. For example: act naturally; bittersweet; calm wind; constant variable; deafening silence; extinct life; found missing; freezer burn; guest host; half naked; larger half; plastic silverware; pretty ugly; real potential; paid volunteer; working vacation; liquid gas; little giants; least favorite; minor miracle; almost exactly; clearly misunderstood; even odds; good grief; and my all-time favorite -- government organization. There are hundreds more in our "my way" vocabulary mold, but there just isn't room for any more today. Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?
The kindergarten class settled down to its coloring books. Willie came up to the teacher's desk and said, "I ain't got no crayons." "Willie," the teacher said, "you mean, 'I don't have any crayons; you don't have any crayons; we don't have any crayons; they don't have any crayons.' Do you see what I'm getting at?" "Not really," replied Willie. "Say, what happened to all them crayons?"
The teacher of the Earth Science class was lecturing on map reading. He spent the class time explaining about longitude and latitude, degrees and minutes. "Suppose I ask you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45 degrees, 15 minutes longitude. Where would we be eating lunch?" A student's voice broke the confused silence, "I guess you'd be eating alone, sir."
[Ecclesiastes 2] Solomon, the teacher, wanted it all, tried it all, experienced it all, and had it all. In the midst of it all, he never lost his wisdom, which he recorded in the book of Proverbs. I think mankind is losing all sense of wisdom in his daily affairs. The pleasures and follies that are satisfying man today are ever-widening the chasm between man and God, which will eventually become an abyss that can no longer be bridged. The "innocent lie" has full-blown blossomed and flowered into a lifestyle of complete contrast to the will of God for His creation. Wisdom will continue to decline and lawlessness will continue to bloom. Even the Lord's church is suffering as the world is being forced into the pews and the pulpit. It's like forcing a square peg into a round hole. Hammer on it all you want, you can't change the Word of God, or the church, to fit your personal preferences, without chiseling away at the precepts of God's wisdom. Solomon says wisdom, knowledge, and happiness come from God and it is given to those who please God. It's all meaningless without the wisdom of God.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (LEARFIELD-WSAU) San Francisco 49'ers coach Jim Harbaugh has asked the N-F-L for a clarification on when quarterback Colin Kaepernick loses his protection in the pocket during his read-option plays.
The Green Bay Packers open their regular season against the Niners on Sunday in northern California. Packers' middle linebacker Clay Matthews promised a more aggressive defensive stand against Kaepernick, who ran for 181 yards in the Niners' playoff win over Green Bay in January.
The Packers believe that Kaepernick can be legally hit not only if he carries the ball and doesn't slide -- but also when he pulls off a run-fake after a handoff, whether he's in the pocket or not. Matthews told reporters yesterday that when a quarterback carries out a play-fake, he loses his protections as a passer in the pocket. He says the Packers' believe their defensive game plan is within the rules. Matthews said a lot would be determined by the calls in Week-One.
Niners' coach Harbaugh said he does not expect an answer from the league office this week on a clarification of the rules. He says he'll talk about it with the officials just before Sunday afternoon's contest.

WAUSAU, WI (WTAQ) - Two endangered whooping cranes have produced a new baby in central Wisconsin.
The chick was hatched in the wild this week in Marathon County. It's the offspring of a male and female that took part in a migration effort to increase the crane population in eastern North America.
The Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership says 25 chicks have hatched in the wild since 2006 – but all but 5 died from a variety of causes. Those five have fledged into the wild.
For the partnership, the hatching is much-needed good news after black flies hurt nesting efforts at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Juneau County.
All but one of 20 nests were lost earlier this month – and officials say the lone surviving nest has at least one chick.

Improving the performance of Emacs's Display Engine?
I came across an interesting thread on the GNU Emacs developer mailing list about an obscure variable called
redisplay-dont-pause and I figured I'd talk about it.
So, currently, if Emacs is busy redrawing the screen any input event (keyboard, mouse) will halt the redrawing and abort to handle the input event. The obvious benefit here is that the user will get a smoother typing experience, especially on older machines where display updates were slow. Nowadays, though, you could argue that this is an unnecessary and very conservative setting as it will cause screen tearing.
The variable
redisplay-dont-pause, when set to
t, will cause Emacs to fully redraw the display before it processes queued input events. This may have slight performance implications if you're aggressively mouse scrolling a document or rely on your keyboard's auto repeat feature. For most of us, myself included, it's probably a no-brainer to switch it on.
Add this to your .emacs file to enable this functionality:
(setq redisplay-dont-pause t)
Phil permalink
Interesting. Personally I think I'll be leaving this the way it is, because I don't recall ever being bothered by this behaviour, and it probably still has potential benefits when running Emacs remotely over a slow ssh connection?
Yes, what are the implications for X forwarding. Is there a way to test whether the current emacs session is being forwarded over X and if not, then one would make this change? Just a thought.

My name is Ako I. I am a Computer Science major at Tsuda College. We are doing a project about Global Collaboration.
I am sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could answer a few of my questions by e-mail. This would be a huge help to me and my class.
For example:
Q1 Why do you develop? I want to know the reason.
Q2 How do you collavorate with many people?
I look forward to receiving your reply.
Yours sincerely

Kings Bench barrister held in US over alleged $10m tax fraud
Readers' comments (3)
What is the typical prison sentence for this kind of criminality?
- innocent until proven guilty - an allegation of criminal behaviour is not proof that that behaviour took place.
Whether Michael Little is or is not guilty of the offence he is charged with, he was a member of the New York Bar and accordingly it is to be assumed that he agreed at some point to uphold the law of the USA., Assuming that he was aware of those laws, as a member of the New York Bar, he should have known what risks (if any) he was taking in providing advice to his clients. However the bigger picture is that this is yet another example of the very aggressive stance being taken by the IRS towards overseas nationals providing tax mitigation advice to US citizens. It is the same aggressive stance that is causing the Swiss banking authorities to abandon 80 years of banking secrecy and which has already resulted in the demise of Switzerland's oldest private bank ( Bank Wegelin) and significant fines to be levied on several overseas banks, including a fine of circa $800m on UBS. There are no national barriers to the USA's ability to conduct military operations and there are no national barriers to the IRS enforcing US made tax law elsewhere in the world. This should be seen as a wake up call for anyone anywhere in the world who thinks it is safe or risk free to provide advice to a US citizen as to US tax liabilities.

The top 10 shorted stocks for February
There's no evidence the shorts are piling on, ahead of an anticipated market pullback -- but here's what they liked last month.
The results are in.
Here are the top 10 shorted stocks for the month of February. Short interest is represented as a percentage of float. If you thought a market that doesn't want to fall would cause the shorts to pile in as they wait for the pullback, there is no evidence of that just yet.
Overall, the S&P 500 saw a modest decrease in short interest.
10) Lennar (LEN) - 19.36% - Number 10 on the list is a home builder. Given the market consensus that the housing market is on the rebound, analysts are looking for EPS of $0.16 and $895 million in revenue. That's year over year growth of 100% and 23%, respectively.
9) Hasbro (HAS) - 20.14% - Keybanc cut the stock from a "Buy" to a "Hold" on Wednesday, citing its rich valuation. That was good for a nearly 2% decline, but the stock has since regained ground.
8) Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) - 20.41% - The stock was down more than 4% on Thursday, after the company earlier announced the idling of a pellet plant. The stock has lost more than 41% of its value this year.
7) Frontier Communications (FTR) - 22.94% - Frontier has a 9.8% yield, but shorts are waiting for the day when the dividend is cut. If it happens, their patience will likely be rewarded.
6) United States Steel (X) - 25.81% - If you understand what's going on with Cliff's, you understand US Steel. Iron ore and the Chinese infrastructure have to recover before the bears seek out a new target.
5) Safeway (SWY) - 26.27% - This name has had a parabolic 2013. The stock is up 41% this year. Maybe the shorts are betting on mean reversion in its future. Even with its rising 50 DMA, that still puts it 17% lower than current levels.
4) Pitney Bowes (PBI) - 29.25% – On Thursday, Stephanie Link told CNBC she likes the name -- but with new management possibly changing focus to M&A, don't expect the almost 11% yield to remain. The high yield has kept short interest in this name high.
3) First Solar (FSLR) - 29.49% - This is a stock down 91% from its 2008 highs. Solar remains under pressure, as competition from overseas manufacturers has all but destroyed the industry.
2) GameStop (GME) - 36.56% - Like music, games are transforming to a digital delivery model. Shorts are betting that stores like GameStop will soon be a thing of the past.
1) JC Penney (JCP) - 42.64% - Would you expect anything less? With few exceptions, the only person who has confidence in CEO Ron Johnson's turnaround is Ron Johnson. The first hint that the strategy is working could cause an epic short squeeze but for now, the shorts would argue, "Why abandon what's worked so well?" The shorts may be Johnson's only friends right now.

"Trix are for kids" but unwanted additives definitely are not. That's why Yoplait® Trix® Yogurt comes in silly, swirly flavors kids love, without high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, or sweeteners. It's still the same bright, fun, colorful snack, only better. You'll love that they love it!
Yoplait recently shifted to a "use by" date on the package, so your yogurt should be consumed by the date on the package.
We still recommend consuming the product within 7-days of the use by date on the cup. The only varieties that are designed to be frozen are Go-Gurt and Whips. Freezing other varieties may result in changes in consistency or texture.
How frustrating! Try our product locator below. If you can't find it at one of the listed retailers, lobby your store manager - there's lots of competition in the yogurt aisle! yoplait.com/productlocator


text: The Minnesota Twins spoiled the holdiay for the Milwaukee Brewers scoring a 6-3 victory Monday afternoon at Miller Park. Wily Peralta dropped his fourth straight decision because of control issues. He worked five innings, throwing over a hundred pitches, giving up 4 runs and walking five. Joe Mauer hit a home run that was originally ruled a double and was reviewed by replay. Chris Parmalee also went deep for the visitors. The Brewers had a chance to jump on starter Kevin Correia, trailing 1-0 and loading the bases in the first inning but they failed to score. Carlos Gomez continued his torrid stretch for the Brewers, hitting a pair of solo home runs for the second time in three days. Gomez now has 10 homers on the season and he's hitting a robust .331. Jean Segura also went deep but it wasn't enough. The Brewers (19-30) slip back to the basement of the NL Central Division, 13 and a half games behind St. Louis. Milwaukee sends Alfredo Figaro against Scott Diamond in the homestand finale Tuesday night before resuming the interleague series against the Twins at the Metrodome Wednesday night. Pre-game coverage begins at 6:35 on WTAQ.

We decided to get married after 34 years together both at the age of 60. Moose Meadow Lodge was suggested to us for a place we could do that at. Everything about our trip and wedding in the tree house was truly the best. We wouldn't have changed a thing. Willie and Greg are outstanding. If you are young or old, but young at heart, this is the place for you. The lodge is as good as the tree house and almost as magical. The tree house brings you right back to the days in life that were easy, simple and fun. From the second you arrive and are greeted you are part of the Moose Meadow Lodge scene, it's like the biggest hug you will ever experience. Just do it and come - if you can even get a reservation. There are not any other words I can say, Just go!!! Cathy

I recommend Greg and Willie's home highly! They make you feel most welcome from the very minute you arrive. They are most helpful with suggestions and recommendations for activities and dining.

Myself and my partner found Moose Meadow on the Internet. Not really knowing what to expect, when we pulled in the drive we were very warmly welcomed. After given a tour of the beautiful home and grounds we were quite surprised to retire in the creel room to complete quietness. Greg and Willie were the most gracious hosts you could ever find. Willies breakfast was amazing and elegant. On our second day, Greg performed our wedding ceremony and made sure that it was the most special day of our lives. If you stay here be sure to visit the sky loft but wear comfortable shoes because it is a nice long hike. You will see the most amazing scenery you could ever imagine. Also be sure Greg tells you the start of SID. We will absolutely be back in the not too far future! Chris and John

I had no idea how much I would love this place. The owners are exceptional human beings; the B&B itself is only out of your imagination filed under, "perfect VT getaway" and the food was wonderful. I enjoyed the ambiance, conversation, food, room, snow shoe up to the skyview 'hut' and hot tub. I look forward to a summer getaway when I can use the pond and canoe. Highly recommend!

More details have emerged in court documents about the murder of a 10-year-old Cecil County girl, whose alleged killer was ordered to remain in jail without bail on Friday morning.
Richard Eugene Madden Jr. allegedly raped and killed Kami Ring before leaving her body in the field behind the Port Deposit house where she was staying, according to a statement of charges.
Kami's body was found Monday. She was partially nude, with signs of a cutting injury to the neck and injuries indicating she had been raped, as well as having been struck in the head, the charging documents state.
Madden, 29, who had just been released from prison in February after serving time for theft, was charged Thursday with first-degree and second-degree murder, as well as rape and assault.
Madden was already in police custody when the murder charges were filed. He had been charged with drug offenses on Monday, during the time Maryland State Police were investigating the girl's disappearance, and had not posted bail in the drug case.
Kami was reported missing Sunday night from the Waibel Road home where Madden lives along with a couple the girl called her "grandparents" and who are identified in the charging documents as Walter Clark and Cynthia Clark. In addition, Madden appears to have considered the girl his "niece," even though State Police have said there was not a biological relationship between Kami and anyone living in the Waibel Road home.
In the news release announcing Madden's arrest on Thursday, State Police identified the Clark couple as "the parents of Madden."
The charging documents also state: "Ring is the friend of the daughter of the family."
Cecil County State's Attorney Edward Rollins declined to comment on the relationships, or any other aspects of the case, Friday morning. He said it was his office's policy not to comment on such matters.
Madden consented to a DNA test, which positively linked him to biological evidence on Kami's body, according to the charging documents.
A shoestring was found on the girl's body as well, and police found gray tennis shoes belonging to Madden with missing shoestrings, the charging documents state.
Madden also had scratch marks on his chest he could not explain, the charging documents state.
Walter Clark, the man Kami knew as her "grandfather," told police Madden's shoes normally have shoelaces, the charging documents continue.
Clark also said he woke up at 7 a.m. on Monday, the day Kami was reported missing, and saw Madden doing laundry, which seemed "completely out of character," according to the statement of charges.
Madden told Clark he needed to wash his work clothes. He had just returned from a shift at Denny's Restaurant, where Cynthia Clark had picked him up after she presumed Kami had gone to bed, the statement of charges continues.
But Madden also seemed to be "not acting himself" and "troubled" that morning, Walter Clark told police.
Madden told investigators he returned from work, took a shower and slept on the living room couch instead of in his bedroom, according to the charging documents.
He told investigators he awoke at 9 a.m. Monday and started making breakfast for Kami, then called his cousin who arrived and found Kami missing, according to the charging documents.
In a post on his Facebook page, dated Monday, Madden wrote: "right now i am going out of my [expletive] head.........my neice kami want missing some time in the night or morning... so pleas if i have seen or heard anything please let me know ASAP."
One neighbor told investigators that the search should include the field across from the home, but when she began walking over to it, Madden grabbed her arm and said, "Those babies would not be walking over there near those briars" and suggested the search should instead focus on the area around power lines in the opposite direction, according to the charging documents.

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)
All research groups | Research subject areas
Our world is more interconnected than ever. We call it globalisation, but without good histories to explain how we got here, we cannot begin to know where we are heading.
This master's programme at Columbia and LSE will ask students to explore our world by studying the forces that have been remaking it: migration, trade, technological revolutions, epidemic disease, environmental change, wars and diplomacy.
Working with preeminent historians in the field, students will analyse large-scale historical processes, pursue empirical research, and produce their own comparative and cross-cultural histories.
The study of international and world history - as opposed to the study of the exclusive histories and historiographies of individual countries - is an emerging field of research that is slowly changing our perspectives on the development of politics and societies. These developments are seen as inseparably linked to the movement of people and ideas back and forth across oceans and territories.
The internationalisation of the study of history has also led to a renewed interest in what larger regions of the world have in common – and in what separates them from each other – in terms of political concepts and cultural values. As a result, the study of encounters between states or societies has gone through several new phases, which together have revolutionised our understanding of cultural and economic dissemination as well as of war, diplomacy, empires and transnational institutions. Finally, efforts are being made to integrate the histories of ethnicity and gender into this internationalising framework and to study the influence of these aspects of human history upon both peaceful cooperation and exchange and upon forms of violent conflict.
The further development of the study of international history in this broad sense depends on the internationalisation of the training and skills of the next generation of experts. The LSE - Columbia University Double Degree in International and World History draws on the faculties of two of the world's leading centres of international affairs, which have the expertise and commitment to provide the training and skills needed. It offers close contact in seminars and colloquia with mentors in different intellectual and cultural settings in two global cities.
The ability to comprehend multiple languages is important to the study of international and world history. There is no language requirement for entry into the programme. However, in order to graduate from the programme, students must fulfil a language requirement in one of four different ways:
1) By taking two years of language training while at Columbia and LSE.
2) By taking and passing two translation exams. (Both translation exams must be taken at Columbia.)
3) By taking and passing one translation exam and studying a language for one year, either at Columbia or at LSE.
4) By taking and passing an intensive summer language course (that equals the same number of credits as a year-long language course) combined with either a passed language exam or an additional year of language classes.
Students have the choice between focusing on a single language or splitting the requirement between two different languages. It is possible to continue further study of a language after a student has passed the translation exam in that language.
In London, the LSE - Columbia Double Degree in International and World History is run by LSE's Department of International History; and in New York the degree is run by Columbia's History Department. It provides the chance to study international and world history from the early modern era up to today in an environment that emphasises broad study, global perspectives, and intellectual debate.
At the heart of the MA programme is a two-year dissertation, a piece of original scholarly work based on detailed empirical research and analysis. The dissertation is supported by a sequence of three core courses taken at Columbia and LSE, as well as a large range of courses that allow for specialisation and language study.
The programme offers numerous benefits:
In the first year of the programme students are required to complete 30 credits, including the core components of the programme: Approaches to International and Global History and MA/MSc Research Skills and Methods Workshop. At least 22 of these credits must be courses in the History Department. Most students must also take a course (or courses) to meet their language requirement (see below). Students can also take courses outside of the History Department, provided that both the MA academic director (Dr Line Lillevik) and the course instructor approve.
In January of their first year, students identify a topic for their dissertation. When the students have finalised their thesis topics in MA/MSc Research Skills and Methods Workshop, one Columbia adviser and one LSE adviser are designated to advise and guide them through completion of the dissertation in year two at LSE.
History Department options at Columbia vary significantly from semester to semester. Up-to-date course offerings can be found on Columbia University's Directory of Classes|.
The directory lists courses taught by Columbia History faculty and Barnard History faculty separately, even though both Columbia and Barnard courses are open to students from all divisions of the University. Please check both listings in order to get a complete picture of the offerings for the current semester. More detailed descriptions can be found at www.columbia.edu/cu/history|
Please note that the course offerings for the Fall semester will be available in mid-March. Each course mentioned runs for a semester only, and some require permission of the instructor.
At LSE, students are required to complete three full units in addition to the final core component of the programme: the LSE-CU Dissertation Workshop. At least two of these three units must be chosen from the wide range of international history and economic history course offerings. Students may complete their third unit in another department at LSE, provided that both the double degree's academic director and the teacher responsible for the course approve.
All students are required to take the year-long Dissertation Workshop, which is designed to help students write their dissertations and think about where they would like to take their careers. It provides a specialised forum for discussion and debate on what it means to write history and be an historian.
Dissertation – a master's thesis in the American system – must be no more than 15,000 words in length and is due in the first week of the Summer term. It is supervised and assessed at LSE in accordance with its MSc regulations.
Please read the following important information before referring to full details of course options found in the Programme Regulations|.
The programme regulations available are for the current academic session and may be subject to change before the beginning of the next academic year. For more information about course availability in the next academic session, please contact the relevant academic department. The School reserves the right at all times to withdraw, suspend or alter particular courses and syllabuses, and to alter the level of fees. Courses are on occasion capped (limited to a maximum number of students) or subject to entry conditions requiring the approval of the course convenor. The School cannot guarantee that places on specific courses will be available.
While many dual degree students go on to undertake PhDs, some choose to apply the insights gained to a career outside of academia, including journalism, public policy, non-profit, or the private sector.

Demolition Of Historic Bournedale Home Halted
By: Diana T. Barth
Published: 04/12/12
The old red house at 295 Head of the Bay Road, once owned by the late Pearl B. Henshaw, cannot be razed for at least six months.
On Tuesday morning, the Bourne Historic Commission held a hearing under the town's demolition delay bylaw and voted to give those interested in saving the home four months to come up with a plan , plus two months more to implement that plan.
The commission first heard from builder Michael R. Mulligan of Plymouth, who now owns the house lot and is in the process of building a new home, the framework for which is already going up some 50 feet away from the historic structure.
He told the board that the Head of the Bay Road property had been for sale for several years and that he had delayed his own purchase of the land because several people had said they wanted to save the historic house.
However, he said, no one stepped forward with an actual proposal, so after waiting, he made one.
Miss Henshaw's heirs, Mr. Mulligan said, had wanted money to retire and were anxious to sell the property. As a new home builder, he wanted to build a new home on the lot. Mr. Mulligan also brought pictures showing the condition of the home and an engineer's report that said it was not salvageable.
He said he approached Building Inspector Roger M. Laporte about a permit for that new house. Under Bourne zoning bylaws, two homes cannot be accommodated on that one lot. However, he said, Mr. Laporte said the Henshaw structure, which does not have indoor plumbing or an indoor kitchen, met the definition of a barn. Therefore, since there was no other legal home on the lot, Mr. Mulligan said he was able to receive his building permit.
He said he redid his plans for that home and "slid" his new building over so that it did not require demolition of the Henshaw house. It was only after he asked to demolish that building that the demolition delay bylaw was triggered and historians became aware of the threat to the building.
Mr. Mulligan said he had no objection of anyone moving the old red house, or salvaging any materials from it. He said he would cooperate in any way with the commission, but that he needed to move forward with the completion and sale of the home he was building. He said that, given the interest on his construction loan, he cannot delay the completion of his own work for too long.
The old red Henshaw family house has a long history. Most local residents know it, because in 1936, when Miss Henshaw was in her early 30s, she opened the Old House antiques shop in the home.
According to some historians, her great-great-grandfather, Russell Harris, had bought property in the area from the Gibbs family sometime before 1850, in the days when Head-of-the-Bay was a village with its own tavern and tiny schoolhouse.
Historic commission Chairman Donald E. (Jerry) Ellis said this week that he had never been able to prove the story the home had been built for the Gibbses, reportedly some time in the 1600s and then moved to the Buzzards Bay site, but that he had been able to trace its existence back to 1725.
Miss Henshaw's father was a gunsmith, clockmaker, painter, antique collector, and even worked in his own small blacksmith shop filled with antique tools, in a building that stood behind the antique store. She, herself, had studied business in college, but learned to love antiques from her family. She became an expert in early American pressed and flint glass, as well as early clocks.
She never married, but lived instead with her sister, who needed her care, and operated the antiques business, ran a nearby gift shop and managed the cranberry bogs on her family property.
She retired in April 2004 and died at age 90 in July of that year. The home was put on the market several years ago.
In May of 2007, Town Meeting voters authorized the use of funds to buy the lot next door. That purchase, which included a cranberry bog as well as Little Buttermilk Bay beachfront, took a little more than $1 million in Community Preservation Act funding. Since that time, the town has created a parking lot and trails, opening up that land to the public.
At that time, Mr. Ellis told attendees at this week's meeting, the town had wanted to purchase the house property as well, but were unable to do so.
Jack L. MacDonald, a preservationist and former commission member, made a plea this week for working to save the building at its site, He said that moving the building was better than its demolition, but not the ideal way to preserve Bourne's history.
Mr. McDonald, who had been the first to propose that the town adopt a demolition delay bylaw, decried the fact that the construction of the new house had begun before a demolition delay hearing could be held. He said Mr. Mulligan was clearly aware of the historical significance of the Henshaw house, and having known of the demolition delay process, took the risk of a one-year delay when he began building.
Later in the meeting, Mr. MacDonald said he wished it was possible for the town to use $500,000 in Community Preservation Act funding to buy Mr. Mulligan out. Mr. Mulligan, in turn, said, "I'd take it."
Susan Anderegg of Old Head of the Bay Road, who was among the area residents who came to the meeting to comment on the house, told the commission that she had called the realtor who had listed the Henshaw house for sale a few years ago.
At that time, she offered to pay for moving and preserving the home if anyone bought the property for the use of the land, alone, as Mr. Mulligan had eventually done. She had even, she said, asked an expert restoration builder who did work at Plimoth Plantation to look at the structure of her behalf. At that time, he determined the house could be preserved.
She would, she said, have moved it to her nearby land, if she had been told no one wanted it. Ms. Anderegg told commission members she did not ask for a written report on the house's condition, but only received an oral one. She said, by her recollection, the expert did not think the house was built in the 1600s.
Donald M. Duberger, who had bought and preserved the former General Leonard Wood home, said he would be willing to help dismantle and store the structure on his Shore Road land, as well. A builder himself, Mr. Duberger expressed some understanding for Mr. Mulligan's position, but added that he is a new homebuilder, not a remodeler or restoration builder.
Mr. Duberger said he looked at the home and saw that the ridge line was relatively straight, causing him to think it might not be as unsalvageable as reported. At the very least, he said, there might be rare woods, wide boards, or other materials or parts worth saving.
He argued for time to consider the options. He said he thought the board and the builder could come to a common understanding over a reasonable time for a delay in the proposed demolition.
Mr. Mulligan said he would donate help to move the structure, if that was what the preservationists decided to do, but said he could not afford a year's delay.
After some discussion, the commission settled on the six-month time line. Mr. Mulligan said that if those who brought forward a plan to preserve the home were in the middle of implementing that plan when the six months were up, he would not order them to stop and raze the building. He said that, so long as work and been started and was progressing, he would be willing to allow them a reasonable extension.

An Edina woman is facing child endangerment charges after she was accused of having her nephew ride in the trunk of her Lexus to protect her leather seats because he was wet.
A criminal complaint says 38-year-old Susan Marie McCarty picked up her nephew at Valleyfair in Shakopee on a hot August afternoon. Witnesses told police they saw two women watch as the 11-year-old boy climbed into the trunk before they wrote down the car's license number.
McCarty told police her nephew had gone on a water ride and she didn't want him to drip water on the car's leather seats, so she had him ride in the trunk with the back seat console folded down. The boy's grandmother and 14-year-old sister were also in the car, but didn't question the aunt's decision.
The boy's sister told police that the boy had been warned on the way to the park and inside that if he continued to go on water rides, he would have to make the nearly half-hour return ride home in the trunk. She added that her brother had seemed excited about it; however, she admitted that she and her grandmother had an uneasy feeling about putting her brother in the trunk.
The boy, who lives in Wayzata, told police he didn't want to question his aunt -- and he willingly stayed in the trunk until he was dropped off. When he got hot, his family members aimed the air conditioning vents at the compartment venting into the trunk.
That vent was still open when police pulled the car over near McCarty's Edina Home.
Police said the boy later told them he would have preferred to sit in the back seat.
McCarty told the Star Tribune she would never purposely put her family in danger.
Child endangerment is a gross misdemeanor in the state of Minnesota.

SACRAMENTO, CA (WSAU) The Milwaukee Bucks were short-handed last night as they got by the Kings in Sacramento, 115-to-113.
Starters Ersan Ilyasova and Larry Sanders sat out with injuries, along with back-up guard J-J Redick – and Bucks' forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute hurt a foot during last night's game.
Milwaukee was up by 15 with less than four minutes remaining, when the Kings got to within one with six-point-six seconds left. Monta Ellis made two free throws, and then the Bucks fouled Jimmer Fredette to prevent him from making a game-tying three. Fredette made his first free throw, missed the second, got the rebound, and passed it to Tyreke Evans – who missed a three-pointer at the buzzer that could have won it for Sacramento.
Ellis led the Bucks with 29 points and nine assists. Gustavo Ayon, whom the Bucks acquired in last month's trade with Orlando, had 12 points and seven rebounds. Ilyasova missed his second straight game with a bruised left knee bone. Sanders hyper-extended his left knee in Saturday night's win over Golden State, and Redick was hurt when he landed on Jarrett Jack's foot against the Warriors.
DeMarco Cousins had 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings, and was ejected for a Flagrant-Two foul in which he elbowed Mike Dunleavy in the head. Sacramento has lost three of its last four.
The Bucks are now within a game-and-a-half of both Boston and Atlanta for the sixth-and-seventh playoff spots in the East. The Bucks will host Dallas tomorrow night.

When you're hot, you're hot. The latest American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, is in high demand these days. He's managed to practically sell out the North Carolina State Fair all on his own: there's only single tickets left for his performance, no seats left together. Tickets only went on-sale today, so it's not any sort of stretch to think that it will sell out well before the October 2012 date.
Catch Scotty tonight at the American Country Awards on Fox at 8 pm EST. He's up for New Artist Of The Year and he'll also be performing on the award show.

Dr. Hassney A. Hamood's Ratings
Staff weak and pathetic. They scheduled and assured that they took my insurance. After getting a referral, and driving over 20 miles each way in the worst storm of LA 2014, I was turned away coldly. They do not care about YOU and are careless, thoughtless and incompetent. All other sites has this DR rated EXTREMELY LOW...and for God Reason. Shop around and see!

Dr Hamood was very informative at office visit and after my son had surgery he took time to come talk to me in the waiting room.We even got a follow up call at home to see how my son was doing after surgery. This is so wonderful to know that there are actually doctors out there that still care about their patients.

They allowed me to come in immediately to deal with a hearing loss problem. I waited a while for the doctor to become available, but apparently he often stays late to see all the patients. He treated the problem perfectly -- it was just ear wax that he flushed and scraped out.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Matt Gatens wasn't shooting like the hottest player in the Big Ten, Roy Devyn Marble still hadn't scored and Iowa was clinging to a one-point lead against woeful Nebraska 6 minutes into the second half.
And Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery wasn't happy.
Thanks to some sudden offense from Gatens and Marble, Iowa finally broke open the game and went on to defeat Nebraska 62-53 on Wednesday night.
"Coach was pretty upset at halftime," Gatens said. "He thought we could be up 10 or maybe even more the way our defense was playing. It was great to see us put them away and finish out the victory."
Iowa (16-14, 8-9 Big Ten) muddled to a 23-19 halftime lead and had trouble shaking off the Cornhuskers before winning for the fifth time in eight games. A home victory over Northwestern on Saturday would give the Hawkeyes a .500 conference record for the first time in five years.
The Hawkeyes avenged a 79-73 loss to the Huskers in Iowa City last month and kept themselves alive for a No. 7 seed in next week's Big Ten tournament.
"This was important because we know we can still be alive for the NCAA tournament," guard Bryce Cartwright said. "Plus we owed them one."
Nebraska (12-16, 4-13), which ends the regular season Saturday at Minnesota, has lost seven of eight.
The performance against the Hawks did nothing to quell speculation about the job status of sixth-year Nebraska coach Doc Sadler, who is under contract through 2015-16.
"I haven't really thought about that," Sadler said. "I signed an extension last April, and I plan on seeing that through. Those things, guys, I don't worry about."
Nebraska came into the game off a 62-34 loss at fifth-ranked Michigan State. The 34 points were the fewest the Huskers had scored since 1948.
Sadler said neither he nor anyone else knew what would happen in the future.
"I hope to get up in the morning and take my kids to school," he said. "If I can do that, I'll be a lot happier than other people. That's what I look forward to, the next day."
Gatens scored eight of his 16 points during the key 4-minute stretch when Iowa broke open the game. After Gatens hit a 3-pointer, Caleb Walker charged up the crowd when he stormed the baseline for a dunk to pull the Cornhuskers within 34-32 with 14 minutes left.
But Marble's first basket of the night started a 15-3 Iowa burst. Gatens followed with a 3-pointer, Marble hit two in a row from long distance, Gatens dunked, Cartwright scored and the Hawkeyes suddenly were up 49-35 with 10:16 left.
"Marble was struggling and was a little bit sideways," McCaffery said. "I took him out, got into him a little bit and, as he typically does, he really responded."
Marble said his coach's message was simple.
"He said to play like you're one of the best players in the country," Marble said. "That's what I tried to do. I felt I played really bad in the first half. The start of the second half didn't go as I wanted it, and I was a little angry. I wanted to help the team in some possible way."
Marble and Cartwright, who played his best game since spraining his ankle two weeks ago, had 11 points apiece.
Brandon Ubel made all seven of his shots and led the Huskers with a career-high 17 points, and Walker added 15.
The Hawkeyes, playing in Lincoln for the first time since 1976, split the season series with the Huskers. Nebraska, in its first year in the Big Ten, won first meeting 79-73 in Iowa City on Jan. 26.
Gatens, a 15.7-point scorer for the season, had averaged 29 points in his previous three games. During those three games he shot 60 percent from the field (28 of 47) and 73 percent on 3-pointers (19 of 26).
He wasn't nearly as hot against the Huskers. The reigning Big Ten player of the week started the game 1 for 6, all on 3-point attempts, and was held to five points in the first half. He wound up 4 for 11, including 3 of 8 on 3s.
Neither team was sharp to start. They were mired in an 11-11 tie 10 minutes into the game before the Hawkeyes created some separation with a 12-4 run.
Nebraska, which shot a season-low 29 percent against Michigan State, opened 5 of 18 from the field and had two 4-minute stretches without a field goal. The Huskers shot 37 percent for the game and were 4 of 24 on 3s.
The Huskers trailed 23-19 at the half after the Hawkeyes committed turnovers on their last five possessions. It marked the third straight half the Huskers had scored fewer than 20 points.
Nebraska honored its four seniors in a pregame ceremony.
"I thought the guys tried, probably a little bit too hard and maybe took some ill-advised shots," Sadler said. "But it wasn't because they weren't trying. They wanted it so bad."

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Green Bay police have arrested a person of interest in several recent crimes.
Police had previously announced they were looking for 16-year-old Kevin Sierra-Lopez in connection with three crimes in August.
The first incident was a stabbing on August 6 at 2077 Imperial Lane. Cops say they were called to that address just after 10:20 a.m. A 27-year-old man had confronted a neighbor about a domestic issue between the two of them and a woman. Friends of the neighbor attacked the 27-year-old, who was stabbed several times in the torso and hit in the head with a metal object. The injuries were severe, but not life-threating.
The second incident happened just before 9:20 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Green Bay Yacht Club, 100 Bay Beach Road. Officers say a 54-year-old man and his 30-year-old son were leaving the yacht club when several males confronted them. The attackers told the father and son to give them their money and then attacked them. The victims fought off the would-be robbers and suffered minor injuries, but nothing was taken. Investigators say they later learned the attackers had burglarized a boat earlier in the week and had returned to burglarize another boat. When they saw the father and son, they decided to try to rob them. In this case, two people have been arrested.
The third incident happened around 9:15 p.m. Aug. 15 in the 400 block of Mather St. A man who was delivering pizzas was beaten in a robbery attempt. The robbers went through the man's pockets looking for money, but he didn't have any. Investigators say this upset one of the attackers, who repeatedly beat and kicked the victim in the head. He suffered severe injuries and was hospitalized, but has since been released and is recovering. Police say they are requesting criminal charges against several people in this case, one of whom was also involved in the Green Bay Yacht Club incident.
On Sunday night, authorities arrested Sierra-Lopez in the 2000 block of Basten Street. They credit a Crimestoppers tip with helping them find Sierra-Lopez.
Authorities say he is in jail awaiting possible criminal charges.

Jackets at Oilers, G66/07-08
Have you ever played air guitar? I think these two might be riffing off the final few seconds of "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who (post primal scream and right after Daltrey sings "same as the old boss") but stand to be corrected.
I like the Blue Jackets. They are approximately my third favorite WC team (Oilers, Seals-Sharks) and keep doing solid little things to make themselves better. The Jackets and the Hawks are both doing things in a fashion similar to the way Bill Torrey did them on Long Island 100 years ago. Slow and steady and keep the talent procurement options open on all fronts.
Not much really to say about the Edmonton Oilers. They are playing much better than I thought they would and as a fan I sincerely wish they would recall Pouliot to see if they can project him onto the team for next season.

Great Ordeals Starting and Continuing the Magic!
As Arrowmen we each completed the same Ordeal, however each of us had our own unique experience. There is no question about the importance of conducting first-class Ordeals, however the more pressing question is how to make it happen. The first step to making a great Ordeal is easily stated, but is much harder to achieve. This first step is communication.
National Officer Election Process
It is a proud moment when the Chief's Bonnet is passed to the new National Chief of the Order of the Arrow.
But how is a new chief actually elected? Who does the election, and what process do they go through to find the new youth leaders for our organization?
"In late December each year, the section chiefs from across the nation gather to participate in the planning of the national program for the next calendar year. As their first order of business, the chiefs elect a national chief and national vice chief."
--Field Operations Guide
The Dallas Experience
Every year, Section Chiefs, members of the National Order of the Arrow Committee, and some support staff gather in Dallas for the biggest OA planning event of the year. These top leaders from all over the country assemble for an intensive four-day session, known as the Order of the Arrow National Planning Meeting.

Julie's Story
My husband and I tried for three years to conceive our second child. I have ovary shutdown and couldn't ovulate without Clomid. I spent two years taking Clomid, finally reaching a dosage of 200 mgs. In August 2000, I had three follicles which didn't release the eggs, resulting in the formation of a softball-sized cyst on my ovary. This happened the night before my first child's fourth birthday.
My husband and I decided that if our trying for another child was going to take away from the child we already had, it was not worth doing. We decided I´d go off the Clomid and we´d stop trying for another child.
My husband and I grew closer without the stress element, and lovemaking became enjoyable again. In December 2000, I got my period for the first time in three years without any medications. I was thrilled. I prayed that maybe now I would be able to get pregnant. We did not try, we didn´t do any ovulation tests; we just did what we wanted, when we wanted. When my period was a week late, I took a home pregnancy test, but dared not to hope too much. I never dreamed it would be positive!
On September 14, 2001 at 3:01 p.m., our second child, a beautiful seven-pound, fourteen-ounce little boy was born.
I have heard of countless couples who have conceived a baby after they stopped "trying." I truly believe that, along with lots of prayers, it is why it happened for us.

Negotiations With Iran
Strange as it may seem amidst an escalating 27-year war of words and weapons, it looks like Iran and the U.S. will sit down to talks on Iraq. Putting our hawk hat on for a moment, we can't escape a hinky feeling of deja vu with the Paris peace talks with North Vietnam in the '70s. So very much is different here that we'll put that concern in the closet for now. But it's there. Knocking. Loudly.
Chester has a rant on how the AP and MSM are twisting the news - wanting desperately to see an Iraqi civil war that isn't there while painting Iran as the wise, aloof, peace-loving Swiss. Which is ludicrous of course.
The talks will be limited to Iraq, with nukes specifically off the table at the U.S.'s request. We're not sure how that's possible - unless there are other nuke talks already going on that aren't public. Stratfor is opining (sorry, no deep links available to non-subscribers) that talks with Iran were probably already going on through back channels and that Iraq was the only issue Iran was ever really concerned with all along - their shell-game nuclear weapons program and apocalyptic rhetoric being simply bargaining chips. Even if the nukes-as-bargaining chip idea were true (which we doubt), it doesn't address the little wiping Israel off the map thing, nor counter concerns that Iran is in control of the timing. Nor put a stop to their nuke development.
Stratfor further observes that negotiations with Iran will likely center on the shape of a future Iraqi military - one small enough to prevent menace to Iran yet large enough to defend itself from attack and keep insurgencies in check. Not easy. Operation Swarmer helps immensely in convincing us (and hopefully the Iranians) that the U.S. is in the driver's seat here.
Talk is cheap. We do not trust the current Iranian leadership - on anything. We question why the U.S. is agreeing so readily to one-on-one talks in an apparent departure from its stance on North Korea. The answer lies, we suspect in effectively sharing a border with Iran via what's now a semi-owned client state (Iraq) and having no other good options on Iran that don't lead to Armageddon.
The talks could buy time in which internal opposition could organize within Iran. Unfortunately, it also buys time for the nukes program. Western intelligence on Iran's state of nuclear readiness (ranging from now to ten years out) is beyond ridiculous. It's worse than guessing. Not even as good as intelligence on Saddam's Iraqi WMD programs, which was better than many give credit for after a decade of UN inspections. We just don't know... and that gives Iran the advantage.
