Criminal Prosecution
*FYI - Complaints filed with the Board office are considered public information. To remain anonymous, do not list your contact information and send by mail (in lieu of providing fax and email information). Legal case files with their investigations are not considered open to the public.
Residential/Homeowner Compliants
The Department of Commerce and Insurance offers two means to file a complaint by homeowners for residential problems. One, is to complete the "Board Complaint Form" which is used to report the contractor for an investigation of law violations; or they may complete the "Mediation Request" form to have mediation of their complaint handled by the Divison of Consumer Affairs (an alternative to court) in hopes to have their complaint satisfied filing is also available for mediation assistance. More information relative to the "Mediation Process" is available at their website and you may review the Board's information below, on cases returned or referred to the Board.
Unlicensed Activity Complaints
To report unlicensed activity, you may utilize either the "Board Complaint
Form" or use the "Report
Unlicensed Activity" short form to turn in those working without a license.
All Types of Complaints
The "Board Complaint
Form" may be used to report all types of complaints against licensees and those unlicensed, but required to be licensed in one of the following professions: Contractor, Home Improvement Contractor, Limited Licensed Electrician (LLE), Limited Licensed Plumber (LLP), or Prelicensed Exam Course Providers. This includes work on residential, commercial, or industrial projects; bidding violations of the law; or any law violations such as: fraud, dishonest dealing, felony convictions, misconduct, accepting payment without completing the work, requiring more than 1/3 down payment (home improvement law); etc., reporting to the Board is also available, however, it does not offers a means to attach evidence, such as copies of contracts. More information below explains the complaint process.
Criminal Prosecution
There are laws in place to allow the consumer to request criminal prosecution taken against a contractor or home improvement service provider for Felony Theft and Fraud whenever work for services has been paid and not completed within 90 days. See the theft law for specific instructions. The Board does not handle these requests and would require going to your local law enforcement agency, fraud unit or sheriff's office to obtain a warrant for arrest.
Complaints may be completed and sent by mail, email, online to the Contractors Board; online with Consumer Affairs for Mediation; or by fax to us at: (615) 532-2868. All information provided to the Board's office on the complaint is public information. In most cases, the respondent (contractor) is given a copy of the complaint and asked to respond to the allegations. Therefore, if submitting an "anonymous" tip, do not include your (complainant's) information. (Note: Legal files with the investigation information is NOT public information.)
Board Review
This information is relative to reporting a complaint with the Board for Licensing Contractors. Our Board oversees licensing of several professions: Contractors; Home Improvement (remodelers); Electricians; Plumbers; and Contractor Pre-licensing Exam Course Providers. Complaints are handled by one of the following: 1) Board - They may take disciplinary action for licensing violations by assessing civil penalties or revoking the license; or 2) Division of Consumer Affairs - Residential complaints without apparent law violations are referred for mediation through Consumer Affairs. NOTE: A mediation case case may be referred to the Board for disciplinary action to be taken if license violations are discovered, or if the contractor fails to respond to the consumer's valid problems.
NOTE: While a case is open and being investigated by Legal, the Board cannot hold the issuance of a license renewal until a formal hearing is conducted. See the legal process pursuant TCA Title 4, Chapter 5 - provisions of the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act.
Jurisdiction of the Board
The Board cannot force a licensee to repair damages, complete a project, award monetary judgements, or even refund money; they may only discipline the contractor. You would need to hire an attorney (see resources for Legal Aid) to take civil action; or you may want to consider mediation through the Division of Consumer Affairs as an alternative to court, if you are willing to work with the contractor.
In some cases, you may contact the law enforcement to file criminal charges if the contractor has violated the new theft/fraud law (took money without performing work - Public Chapter 1055 - see procedures in law) However, we encourage consumers to report complaints as a means for the Board to monitor these professions; evaluate if they are entitled to keep their license; means to offer public awareness to protect others from being harmed, including those not licensed. Often, filing a complaint may offer a means to communicate a problem and resolve the issues.
Remedy and Judgments
To receive a remedy or to be compensated for being wronged, you will need to hire an attorney to take civil action, as the Board does not have the authority to make judgments. They may only assess disciplinary action for license law violations under T.C.A. § 62-6-102 (you may review the law and rules from our website). A judgement by the court may also include revocation of the license if part of the consumer's charges, under T.C.A. § 62-6-118. Complaints with our office are not meant to have a bearing on civil proceedings, but to evaluate if disciplinary action is warranted by this Board made up of eight (8) contractors and one (1) public member. Therefore, if you are in litigation, the Board typically does not hold and may review to consider license law violations.
Open Complaints
When a complaint has an "open" status, the investigation is in progress by our Legal Section and specifics of their case is not considered public information (legal product). Their information cannot be released and not a matter of public record. The initial complaint filed with the Board office is public information, however, it does not contain legal's investigation/inspector reports or findings. Board's files consist primarily with the complaint filed by the consumer, contractor's response (if any), and additional information forwarded by these parties to our office. The "Complaintant" will be notified once the case is closed or if they are needed as a witness at a hearing. Anyone may contact the Board to check the status of a complaint case, or to certainly check on the complaint history of a contractor. License files are also public information with the exception of the financial statement (TCA 62-6-124). The public may request copies of the "Certificate of Insurance" for General Liability and Workers' Compensation; and Home Improvement license files also include their financial responsibility information, such as bonds. (Check local government for bonds filed for individual projects.)
Filing a Complaint
We hope you will never experience problems which require you to report a complaint, however, you should be aware of your options and have information of the filing process. Filing a complaint may be a lengthly process, especially for cases which require a formal hearing, pursuant TCA 62-6-118, in order to close the case. At the prompt below, you may file an "online" complaint; however, we encourage you to mail, fax or scan and email a complaint in order to provide important documentation (copies of contracts, invoices, etc.). The online complaint system does not allow a means to send documentation to provide the most benefit in the evaluation and handling of a case. To report a complaint other than online, this may be done by printing the Complaint Form and mailing to the address listed on the form (please allow 5 to 7 business days for state mail delivery) or you may also fax to our office at (615) 532-2868; or email to: firstname.lastname@example.com It is helpful to specifically identify any law violations, as this is the Board's only jurisdiction on assessing discipline.
If you are needing a monetary judgment or have a contract dispute, you may want to try mediation first with the Division of Consumer Affairs before contacting an attorney to take civil action, since the Board has limited jurisdiction and cannot help by this means. If you have already hired an attorney, you may still report a contractor complaint to the Board. While a case is in litigation, the Board may still proceed in order to consider disciplinary action for license law violations under their authority. However, the case cannot be finalized or closed if the action is appealed and must wait for a Formal Hearing. In cases of litigation, once it is complete, you may forward the action of the court to the Board for additional discipline (see TCA 62-6-118 under the laws and rules) to be considered. Please note, once a complaint has been filed to the Board and forwarded to our Legal Section, the complaint cannot be withdrawn!
Reporting Violations, Judgments & Complaints
Whenever you report a complaint, you are considered the "Complainant" and the entity filed against, is the "Respondent". Upon receipt of your complaint documents, our legal counsel will evaluate and determine whether the Board has jurisdiction, or if mediation through Consumer Affairs Divison would best benefit the consumer. Consumers will be notified by mail, acknowledging receipt of the complaint from our office, and providing you a case complaint number. Unless handled by Consumer Affairs, you will not be contacted during the investigation process, unless our Legal staff determines an Investigator or Inspector needs to meet with you on specific allegations. In some cases, if a notarized complaint was not provided, an Investigator will be sent to obtain this from you. Therefore, if you send in a notarized statement with the original complaint, this could actually speed up the complaint process. You may supply updates to the Board during the investigation or while open with Legal, to ensure all evidence has been provided (especially, when litigation is complete). Complainants may only be contacted upon closure of the case (it may take over a year or more to finalize a case if it goes to a formal hearing).
Board Meeting Presentation
The Board members will not be provided any information about your case until after Legal's investigation, and it's then presented on a Legal Report at one of the Board's regularly scheduled meetings (Board meets six (6) times, annually. The identity of the parties involved in the complaint, will not be listed on the Legal Report. Legal presents with their recommendations as to dismiss, approval for a consent order (plea bargain), with authorization to schedule a formal hearing for disciplinary action. In some cases, an informal hearing may be scheduled with one (1) Board member, who will not be allowed to participate at the formal hearing. Hearings are conducted by the Uniform Administrative Procedures and violations is pursuant T.C.A.§ 62-6-118. If you have hired an attorney for a monetary judgment with the court, while a case is in litigation, the Board may still consider disciplinary action for license law violations; or in some cases, close, then may be re-opened to discipline for court rulings. After receiving a final judgment, you are encouraged to also report this information to the Board. More information on the types of action may be reviewed at the "Respondent Resource" below.
Before processing the complaint for Board review or mediation, to make this determination, the following are considered:
(Please note, we do not expect consumers to be knowledgeable of all these requirements, and this is provided as an "FYI" (for your information) source, only. Once you submit a complaint, our Legal Staff will research the applicable laws to evaluate the case. Again, all complaints are considered public information except for the Legal investigative file, and once a complaint is filed, it cannot be withdrawn.)
Consumers hiring a licensee benefit from the mediation program with the Division of Consumer Affairs. Should our Legal section recommend transferring your reported complaint to them, you will be notified in writing from their coordinator. You also have the option to file the complaint with them directly at: Consumer Affairs.
Mediation - Any eligible residential complaint received in the Board will be transferred to the Division of Consumer Affairs for processing through Mediation. All parties must agree to participate in mediation or it may be transferred to the Board to review for law violations. Unlicensed or when the law requires a license; complaints involved in litigation; and commercial projects, are not eligible for mediation with Consumer Affairs. After the mediation process, the case may be transferred to the Board for discipline against the license to consider any license law violations and the contractor's attempt to mediate or lack of response. (If mediation is unsuccessful, your only other alternative for a resolution may be to consult with an attorney since the Board may only discipline.)
Discipline - These cases are ones where mediation is not an option through the Consumer Affairs program to remedy the problems in a complaint. Complaints filed with the Board will be processed by our Legal section to determine from the documentation submitted, if there is enough evidence of license violations to be considered for discipline. They may also include cases where the contractor did not respond to mediation. (You may also use the complaint form to report unlicensed activity).
Complainant (Consumer/Person filing the Complaint) will receive an acknowledgement letter verifying receipt of the complaint and whether it will be transferred to Consumer Affairs; or it may remain with Legal for investigation. Note: Details of the case while in the Legal Section are not public information. Notification on the status will not be sent until the case is "closed". Cases are considered "open" until: 1) the contractor pays the recommended penalty; 2) Appears for a Formal Hearing overseen by an Administrative Judge; or 3) Violations were not proven and Legal recommended dismissal. NOTE: During this process, the Board cannot prevent a licensee from working; and cannot hold the license or renewal issuance until the case is closed.
Respondent (Contractor or the Individual of the Business Entity Regulated) will also be notified. Their notice is sent by certified mail with the complaint allegations and they are directed to respond in writing within *ten (10) days of receipt (from the date the contractor receives notification from the Board). A copy of the complaint will be included in the notice to the contractor. Please note, due to certified mail delivery, a typical contractor's response may take *thirty (30) days.
Legal Counsel will review all documentation after the time is up for a response from the Respondent, to the allegations, and they will determine the next course of action. This may require an inspection of the job site by an inspector or investigator, if necessary to prove violations in the case. You will not be contacted unless an inspection is needed to gather more evidence to prove the license law violations, or if you are needed as a witness for a formal hearing. (Formal hearings take approximately one year or more to process, depending on the docket amount of cases.)
NOTE: Legal files are not considered open to the public and confidential. Investigator and Inspection reports are not submitted to the Board office. Once the case is closed, they will forward the findings to the Board office for the complaint file and all parties are notified.
Board Review for Discipline - Consists of cases presented anonymously to the Board at a regularly scheduled meeting (see "Calendar" for dates) to review the recommendations made by the Legal section and determine the action. The Board will not have knowledge of the contractor's or complainant's name on the case; will not see the complaint information; and decisions are based upon the findings of licensing law violations determined.
Board Action - The Board does not have the authority to award monetary damages or force the contractor to make repairs. They may assess discipline such as letters of warning/caution, citations, civil penalties, consent orders and in some cases, they may revoke or suspend the license through an adversarial formal hearing process with an Administrative Judge, pursuant to the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. Anyone seeking to recover monetary remedies for injuries should consult a private attorney, as the Board has no jurisdiction over these matters. Further, the Board cannot hold the issuance of a license renewal until the respondent is given due process through the Uniform Administrative Procedures by a formal hearing.
Due Process
Should Legal be able to prove violation, they may recommend discipline in the form of a civil penalty or license suspension/revocation, usually at first in the form of a consent order. If the contractor rejects the consent order, and appeals these findings, we must hold a formal hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act and the contractor will be required to be represented by their attorney, with a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Contractors found guilty of the violations charged, may be responsible for hearing costs, in addition to any civil penalties assessed. After the time for appeals expire, the case is final, and closed by Legal. Their findings are released to the Board office for public information. Penalties not paid by the respondent may be referred to a Collection Agency.
Mediation - CHAMP (Consumer Homeowner Accountability and Mediation Program)
The Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs, the State's consumer protection agency within the Department of Commerce and Insurance, contains a residential construction complaint mediation service known as CHAMP (Consumer Homeowner Accountability and Mediation Program). This consumer based complaint process allows the parties to agree on making repairs or corrections or to resolve residential construction issues without administrative disciplinary hearings. CHAMP has been a benefit to those who have hired a state licensed contractor.
Licensees/Respondents failing to respond to the complaint with the CHAMP section are listed on the "Problem Contractors List" which acts as a buyer beware to others. Although, these individuals or companies may not have violated the law, they failed to respond to the consumer's issues and is a good source for checking out a contractor prior to hiring one.
In addition, you may want to contact the local Better Business Bureau or Federal Trade Commission to record your complaint and this provides a means for further consumer protection. More information is also available at the "Consumer Resources" section.

Complaint Reported
Information relative to the complaint process may be reviewed at the above sections. For information relative to specific violations and penalties, see the Law, Rules and Regulations site. Specific consumer protection laws are available at the "Consumer Resources"; and industry related information is available at Valuable Resources.
Law Violations
Unlicensed Activity / Denial of License
If the complaint is for offering to engage prior to obtaining a proper license, TCA 62-6-120 the Board may deny or hold isuing the license for a minimum of six (6) months. However, the license may be denied for violating the law, as well as submitting false information, misconduct, dishonest dealing, felony convictions, negligence, etc.(see TCA 62-6-118).
Citation Issuance
The Executive Director may issue citations for unlicensed activity. This citation also acts as a "Cease and Desist" order of the project where the respondent may be working. Should the respondent wish to appeal the citation, they must do so, in writing, within 15 days and provide evidence, documentation, etc., proving they did not violate the law or offer to engage in contracting where a license is required, pursuant T.C.A. Title 62, Chapter 6. The law allows a provision to lowering the citation amount in cases where the respondent obtains a license as required. However, this is subject to Board review.
Should the respondent fail to respond in writing or does not pay the citation, the case will be referred to the Board for further action (TCA 62-6-120/ Rule 0680-1-.21). This may result for a demand for payment to be issued, or the Board may authorized a formal hearing to collect the civil penalty. Once scheduled for a formal hearing, you are encouraged to obtain an attorney for representation. All hearings are overseen by an Administrative Law Judge. If you are found guilty of the violation, additional costs may be assessed to cover hearing (approximately $3,000 and up), which may include expenses for the Judge, witnesses, investigation and any other legal fees incurred by the State. Failing to appear at a hearing may result in a judgement by "default" (guilty). After a formal hearing, if the penalties are not paid within the time allotted by the Board, it may be turned over to a collection agency or the local District Attorney's office for prosecution.
Board Review of Complaints
The Board reviews complaints presented to them by the Legal Section at each of the six (6) regularly scheduled annual meetings. They will not have knowledge of the parties identity involved in the complaint. At that time, they will vote on the recommendations made by the attorney based upon the information outlined in the attorney's Legal Report. Respondent will be advised of the Board's ruling on a complaint case (see "Complaint" process information above), which may be: Consent Order; Informal Hearing; Summary and Suspension; or a Formal Hearing. Any member who presides over the informal hearing or has prior knowledge of the case, will not participate, (TCA 62-6-118, 125), therefore, complainants and the respondent should not contact a member of the Board.
Should Legal have evidence of law violations, they will present to the Board to authorize discipline, usually at first in the form of a "Consent Order" (often considered a plea bargain) and may be proposed in lieu of conducting a formal hearing. If the respondent fails to respond or agree to the consent order, the board's attorney is authorized to move forward to schedule a formal hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. Upon scheduling, you will be advised to seek an attorney to file papers to respond to the hearing of charges. In most cases, the Board acts as the jury, however, they may waive and allow the Administrative Law Judge overseeing the hearing to also make the ruling. Those found guilty are typically responsible for hearing costs, which includes travel expenses, investigation charges and legal fees by the Department, etc., as well as the civil penalties assessed at the hearing.
A formal hearing under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, pursuant T.C.A. Title 4, Chapter 5, is scheduled in order to take disciplinary action. Upon scheduling, the respondent is advised to seek an attorney to respond to the hearing of charges. In most cases, the Board acts as the jury, however, they may waive and allow the Administrative Law Judge overseeing the hearing to also make the ruling. Those found guilty are typically responsible for hearing costs, which includes travel expenses, Judge's fees, court reporter, investigation charges and legal fees by the Department, etc., as well as the civil penalties assessed at the hearing, as outlined in Rule 0680-1-19 (estimated at $3,000 or more.) More Information is available at the Department of State's website at: Administrative Procedures Section.
The attorney for the Board may request a Board member to review their legal case file to determine whether more evidence is needed to move forward with a case for a consent order; formal hearing; or dismissal. Any Board member participating on the Informal Hearing may not particpate at the Formal Hearing.
Board Action
Penalties may be assessed from $50.00 to $5,000.00, for each day of the continued violation. (See Rule 0680-1-19)
Unpaid penalties may be turned over to a collection agency for payment. (See TCA 62-6-120)
The Board may also refer a case to be reviewed by the Attorney General's office or local District Attorney for criminal prosecution or collection of judgement.
A contractor should contact the awarding authority to file a bid protest. However, a complaint may be reported against contractors violating the law, by completing a complaint form. All information on the complaint form is considered public record, therefore, to remain anoymous, it must be submitted without the complaintant's information. Anonoymous complaints may not be processed by our Legal Section unless there is sufficient evidence with facts of the allegations.
If you have been wronged by a licensed contractor, to obtain a copy of the insurance information from a licensee's file, or the bond and insurance from a home improvement contractor, you may submit a "Request" to the Board. Please see "Insurance" for futher information as to workers' compensation and general liability requirements. Financial statements and any guaranty agreement in the license file is considered confidential and not a matter of public record. To obtain confidential records, this would require a subpoena with a protection order.
If a contractor has been paid and has failed to complete the work within 90 days, the consumer may have the contractor arrested by local law enforcement for felony theft in TCA-39-14-154. In addition, the law limits the amount of recovery from an unlicensed contractor to only documented expenses. An unlicensed contractor does not have the right to obtain a lien if they were required to be licensed.
FLOOD/disaster HELP:
Do not pay for all the work or turn over insurance checks to contractors prior to the work being completed The Home Imporovement law prohibits requiring payments of more than 1/3 of the contract price prior to the start of work. See TCA 39-14-154 for the prosecution process of contractors for felony theft; failing to refund money or performing the work within 90 days.

Fresh from securing his second top 10 spot in an as many races, Daniel Ricciardo is hoping to make it a hat-trick of points finishes in India...
Fresh from securing his second top 10 spot in an as many races, Daniel Ricciardo is hoping to make it a hat-trick of points finishes in India.
The Toro Rosso driver took his points tally for the season to nine after coming from 21st on the grid to finish ninth at the Korean Grand Prix.
Things didn't look too promising for the Australian on Saturday evening after he was forced to take a five-place gearbox penalty while a brake problem during the closing stages of the race forced him surrender a potential eighth place to team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne.
Ricciardo, though, left Korea a happy man and he hopes to carry that form over to the Indian Grand Prix.
"I hope we can carry this on. We have been doing it when maybe others have had a bit of bad luck, but it could have been even better," he said.
"We lost points at the last corner in Monza and we lost eighth here and missed out on better points.
"We have got something going right now. I am racing really well and I am happy with my performances, so I am definitely confident for India, and it's a good circuit too."
It was only the second time this season that both STR drivers finished in the top 10 and Ricciardo feels the team have definitely improved in recent weeks.
"In pure performance this was our best weekend for a long time," he said.
"[Jenson] Button and [Nico] Rosberg went off in the first few corners which made our positions look better but I was studying the times after the race and up until the problem I was getting quicker and quicker and I had just set my best lap of the race.
"[Romain] Grosjean was seven or eight seconds in front and he faded a bit towards the end so if we did not have the problem we would have been close to Grosjean, and finishing close to a Lotus goes a long way for us in saying we have improved."

Women's hoops falls in SoCon tourney
Friday, March 04, 2005CHATTANOOGA, TN. - A pair of clutch baskets by Tiffany Brown and a
three-point play by Dana Benemon in overtime proved to be the difference
as fifth-seeded Georgia Southern outlasted eighth-seeded East Tennessee
State, 73-71, in the semifinal round of the 2005 Kyocera Southern
Conference Women's Basketball Championships at McKenzie Arena.
The win propels Georgia Southern (16-13) to the championship round of the
tournament for the second time in the past three seasons, while ETSU
(13-17) fell short in its bid to become the first-ever eight seed to reach
to title game.
In a tight battle that saw 14 ties and 18 lead changes, Georgia Southern
gained an early 20-12 advantage on a Fallon Lee three-pointer at the 7:19
mark of the opening stanza. The Eagles headed to the break with a 32-25
The Lady Bucs stormed out of the locker room, however, with a 10-2 run of
their own to regain the lead at 35-34. From that point forward, the game
see-sawed back and forth with neither team leading by more than three
points over the final 16 minutes of regulation.
Brown began her heroics with a driving lay-up to knot the score at 61 with
only 32 seconds remaining in the second period. Her shot at the buzzer
fell short, however, sending the contest into overtime.
Trailing by four with two minutes remaining in overtime, Brown drained a
three-pointer from the right corner to bring GSU within one, and seconds
later, ETSU's Tiffani Mayes, the SoCon's player of the year, picked up her
fifth foul on the offensive end. Benemon scored in the lane and converted
a free throw with 42 seconds remaining to put the Eagles back ahead by
two, and the Lady Bucs would never recover.
Lee DuBose also drained a number of timely three-pointers for GSU, going
three-for-five from behind the arc and contributing 17 points. Benemon
added 15 points and a team-high 12 rebounds for the Eagles.
ETSU's Gibson led all scorers with a career-high 27 points to go along
with a career-best 18 rebounds. She was joined in double-figures by Banjo
and Mayes, who tallied 14 and 13 points respectively.
Georgia Southern will face the winner of Friday's second semifinal
match-up between second-seeded Davidson and sixth-seeded Western Carolina.
The championship game will be at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 5 and will
be live on C-SET.
Georgia Southern Head Coach Rusty Cram:
"I'm proud of our girls for fighting back and the maturity they're
starting to show�We'd love to have had a big lead but we are generally
coming from behind all year and that's not a feeling you want to get used
to as a coach. You can see the maturity and composure in the young ladies
because of it."
ETSU Head Coach Karen Kemp:
"I am extremely proud of these young ladies. They came to the tournament
determined and played their heart out. Of course, we're disappointed with
the outcome, but I'm so proud of the heart they showed."

Space are a British indie rock band from Liverpool, England, who came to prominence in the mid 1990s with hit singles such as "Female of the Species", "Neighbourhood" "Avenging Angels" and "The Ballad of Tom Jones". They worked with both Tom Jones in 1999 and Cerys Matthews a year earlier. The band had formed in 1993 and released four studio albums, plus a number of charting singles, before eventually disbanding in 2005. In 2011, two years after the death of original drummer Andy Parle, the band announced they would reunite with Tommy Scott, Jamie Murphy and Franny Griffiths returning alongside three new members. Like many bands from the Britpop era, the core of Space's sound was inspired by 60s' guitar groups such as The Kinks and The Who, but their quirky yet imaginative use of electronic instruments and samples (which were often taken from films and old records) often made them stand out from their peers. The band were also known for their over-the-top, dark humoured lyrics, which often dealt with serial killers, failed relationships, social outcasts, and mental illness.

text: If one is looking for the cause of an act of terrorism, one must look for its source in antireligious ideologies. Religion enjoins love, compassion, forgiveness, peace and living according to high moral standards. Terrorism, on the other hand, is on the side of cruelty and violence, causing pain, bloodshed and committing murder.

African Americans have served with pride and distinction in every great American war, beginning with the180,000 soldiers, both freed men and runaway slaves, who fought with the Union Army in the Civil War to win their emancipation. More than 30,000 Black soldiers sacrificed their lives for Abraham Lincoln's Union Army in the war that abolished slavery.
Shortly after the Civil War in 1866, Congress passed a piece of legislation that gave Blacks the right to legitimately carry arms and authorized the formation of six all-Black peacetime units, the first of their kind--the 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry, and the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st Infantry regiments, which were later reorganized as the 24th and 25th Infantries.
Notable recruits included Henry O. Flipper, the first African-American officer of the Tenth U.S. Cavalry and one of the first African-American graduates of West Point Naval Academy in 1879, along with fellow African-American West Point classmates John H. Alexander and Charles Young, who were both granted commissions to the ninth U.S. Cavalry.
In 1866, Cathy Williams, an ex-slave and washwoman, became William Cathy, the first Black female soldier to ever serve the United States army as a Buffalo Soldier. Banned from service as a woman, Williams furtively served two years from 1866 to 1868 with the 10th unit, before being found out by a medical doctor while undergoing treatment for an illness. Williams was dishonorably discharged.
Eighteen Buffalo Soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award, during the early Western Campaigns. The Buffalo Soldiers served in other campaigns, including the Spanish American War, the Philippine Insurrection, the Mexican Expedition, World War I and II, and the Korean War.
The 9th and 10th units were disbanded in 1942, but the 24th and 25th infantry regiments remain active. Colin Powell and Kareem Abdul-Jabar are among notable contemporary Buffalo Soldiers.
With nary a mention in school textbooks and zero representation in the prolific Western movie canon of the early twentieth century, the Buffalo Soldiers have only recently begun to gain public attention in the last few decades. A few contemporary references appear in pop-culture-the famous song by Bob Marley, "Buffalo Soldier" speaks to their legacy, and a movie called Buffalo Soldiers starring Danny Glover was released in the 1990s. Organizations devoted to the Buffalo Soldiers have cropped up throughout the country, including historical re-enactment groups.
Since early 2006, Yolanda Williams, volunteer chairperson of the Inland Empire Buffalo Soldiers Heritage Organization, has been spearheading efforts to erect a bronze statue in honor of the Buffalo Soldiers in the Inland Empire.
In line with the organization's mission to "educate and perpetuate the legacy of the Buffalo Soldier," the memorial statue will be a tribute to the Buffalo Soldiers' exploits and heroism, and a reminder to the modern public of the depth of our debt to all veterans of the U.S. armed forces.
The road to the statue's completion has been long and fraught with bureaucratic obstacles-"each step has to be approved, from the look of the statue, to the artist, to the words on the plaque," said Williams, who received federal permission in late 2006 to place the statue at a prominent location at the entrance of the Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, CA. "But I am so elated with every little win we get." IEBSHA projects to break ground for the memorial in late 2008.
A private citizen who volunteers her time with IEBSHA, Williams has always been active in her community, and espouses the belief that social change begins with each individual. Without any prior experience in managing a nonprofit org, Williams singlehandedly started IEBSHA back in 2005, pulled by a personal conviction to tell the story of the Buffalo Soldiers and to educate the general public. Williams doesn't consider herself a social activist or a political person, however. "I'm just doing my duty to my community," she said.
Education has always been foremost among Williams' goals for the organization. "So many of our young Black men are in gangs and in jails, destroying our communities, destroying each other, instead of raising up their communities, beautifying them, making them more livable," said Williams, "Our goal is to teach these young people about the costs of their citizenship, and the pride and value in it."
The memorial project began as a personal dream for Williams, a descendent of a Buffalo Soldier-her grandfather, father, and husband all served in the U.S. military. "I have been an army brat all my life, and I have, in a way, inherited this dream from them," said Williams.
The bronze statue, designed by Baxter Miller, a prominent military sculptor based in the IE, will be a life-size figure of a buffalo soldier on a horse. The memorial will include informative panels on the history of the soldiers, including a model diorama of the evolution of the Buffalo Soldiers' uniforms. IEBSHA invites veterans and the general public to contribute original words for the plaque that will accompany the statue.
The 1.5 to 2 million dollar cost of the memorial-funded exclusively by private donation, with no federal funding-remains the biggest challenge for IEBSHA. Several fundraising events--a musical, a Black tie event, a ladies tea, and a buffet breakfast-are slated for Fall. A memorial endowment program has been set up at the Riverside National Cemetery and is now accepting public donations.
Yolonda Williams invites the Inland Empire community to join IEBSHA in memorializing the Buffalo Soldiers by becoming a member or contributing a tax-deductible donation. "We're looking for supporters--the general public and businesses are all welcome, for contributions, sponsorship, or donation of services," said Williams.
The organization conducts meetings, open to the public, every 4th Tuesday at Caesar Chavez library in the city of Perris from 3 to 4 pm.
For more information on IEBSHA and its upcoming events, or to contribute a donation or lyrics to the memorial statue, please contact Yolonda Williams: firstname.lastname@example.com, (951) 657-7088

Earlier today I wrote why Matt Garza's trade value may be higher than I think, or rather higher than the trade value numbers show. Since I wrote about why they may be higher it only makes sense to also spell out why they may be lower. I'm going to do the same thing for Ryan Dempster tomorrow, but some of that is written here already (why he's worth more).
While Matt Garza threw 133 innings for the Twins in 2006 and 2007, he didn't have his first full season until he was traded to the Rays in 2008. Since then, his FIPs have been 4.14, 4.17, 4.42, 2.95, 4.16. These are a lot alike with the exception of his first season in Chicago.
It's certainly more valuable than his best season was more recent, but one might look at these numbers and be tempted to throw out 2011. I would never encourage anyone to do this. The numbers happened and they matter. They tell us something, but it's easy to see how some team may look at the years 2008 through 2012 and see that he's been about a 4.2 FIP pitcher with the exception of one season (2011 when he was damn good).
Fangraphs bases its WAR on FIP and his fWAR has been (since 2008) 2.9, 3.1, 1.6, 5.0, 1.2. He's essentially on pace for about a 2.5 fWAR season if he reaches his ZiPS projection the rest of the way. Not surprising since it's based on FIP, these numbers are all relatively similar with the exception of one season.
He has a 108 career ERA+. That's only 8% better than the league. His ERA+ since 2008 has been 119, 110, 100, 116, 99. Since 2008 his ERA+ is 109. For comparison, Ryan Dempster's is 118. Dempster has had 2 full seasons (2008 and 2009) in which his ERA+ was higher than Garza's best season. Dempster's this year is likely to be higher than any of Garza's best.
Garza has 13.8 fWAR since 2008. Dempster has 18.4.
Baseball Reference uses runs allowed to calculate WAR. They factor in fielding by using the team defense and then assigning that to each pitcher based on his innings pitched. Garza's rWAR since 2008 has been 3.1, 3.3, 1.3, 2.5, and .5 this year. When you get away from the fielding independent stats, his WAR last season wasn't even the highest in his career. Looking at it this way makes two seasons stand out (2010 and 2012). The others have been close to the same while those two years have been quite a bit worse.
He has 10.4 rWAR since 2008. Dempster has 15.8.
Since 2008 Baseball Prospectus has Matt Garza being worth 7.6 WARP while Dempster has been worth 13.1 WARP.
Ryan Dempster has been a better pitcher over the last 5 years. It's not really even that close and it doesn't matter which value stat you look at. Dempster has only a few months left on his contract and someone wouldn't be crazy to expect acquiring Dempster to be a better trade than one for Garza. Dempster could probably be had for a little less, but maybe not.
If people believe Matt Garza is worth a whole lot, why do people think Ryan Dempster is going to be worth a lot less? Just because Garza has one year at approximately $12 million in salary left? I don't know. Garza isn't as good as a lot of people think and there's definitely reason to believe he may be worth less in a trade than the numbers show.
I wouldn't bet on that. I also wouldn't bet on him being worth more.

East Tennessee State doesn't have any answers for Abbott, No. 11 Lady Vols
Wednesday, February 25, 2004KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 25, 2004) -- Tennessee freshman sensation Monica Abbott capped a memorable home debut on Wednesday with both the game-winning hit and the victory in relief as 11th-rated Tennessee edged East Tennessee State, 3-2, to take both ends of a doubleheader at Tyson Park. Deadlocked at two runs apiece in the third inning, Abbott smashed a two-out single to plate sophomore Danielle Arriaga with the decisive run. The lefty had relieved sophomore Stacey Jennings in the top of the frame and wound up tossing 4.2 scoreless innings, with nine punchouts, to improve her season ledger to 14-0. She twirled a one-hitter with a school-record 16 Ks in the opener, a 7-0 Lady Vol triumph, and wound up scattering three hits and surrendering zero runs over 11.2 frames of work on the day. Tennessee improves to 15-2 overall, while the ETSU drops to 5-4. "In the second game we were out of sync offensively and never could get back on track," said Lady Vol co-head coach Ralph Weekly. "To make matters worse, ETSU played extremely well, necessitating a change in momentum." Freshman Lindsay Schutzler started the bottom of the first with a walk but was thrown out at second base when sophomore Katherine Card's Texas Leaguer caused the runner to misjudge the flight of the ball. Sophomore Kristi Durant earned a free pass and senior Amber Rhinehart was grazed by a pitch from ETSU sophomore Belinda Barrera (Fayetteville, N.C.) to load the sacks with one out. Senior Lauren Mattox roped a RBI single into right field for UT's initial run but the Buccaneers escaped the jam by turning an inning-ending double play. Tennessee added another run in the second when sophomore Sarah Fekete reached on a fielder's choice, swiped second base and scored on a pair of throwing miscues on the play. Schutzler then boosted her hitting streak with nine games with a slap hit and raced over to third base when the relay throw sailed wide of first base. Barrera plunked Card with a pitch and then induced an infield fly by Durant to hold the margin at 2-0. ETSU broke through to tie the game in the third inning, helped by back-to-back one-out singles by junior Mary Beth Hazelwood (Knoxville, Tenn.) and sophomore Janine Sprague (Hillsborough, N.C.). Sophomore pitcher Stacey Jennings then committed an error to load the bases for the visitors, causing a pitching change for the Lady Vols. Abbott entered the circle for the Weelys' squad and struck out junior Danielle Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.) for the second out. However, junior Lindsay Lane (Erwin, Tenn.) tied the contest at 2-2 with a two-run single into right center field to bring home a couple of unearned runs charged to the starter. The southpaw then caught Miranda Byerly (Candler, N.C.) looking to close the frame. In the bottom of the inning, Arriaga drew a walk with two down and Jennings smacked a double to left field to give the Orange a couple of runners in scoring position. Abbott helped her own cause with a hard liner off the Buccaneer third baseman to bring home Arriaga with the go-ahead run. Spetar legged out a bunt to start the sixth and stole second base, putting ETSU in position to score the equalizer. Abbott struck out Lane, had Byerly pop up and whiffed senior Tiffany McVay (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.) to preserve the tenuous one-run advantage. Barrera went the distance in the circle for ETSU, allowing eight hits, four walks and three runs, but was on the hook for the defeat. The duo of California freshmen, Abbott and Schutzler chipped in with two hits apiece for the Lady Vols, with Sprague going 2-for-4 from the leadoff spot to lead the Bucs. ETSU will prepare for a trip to the Sunshine State next week. The Buccaneers will play 10 contests at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Fla. from Feb. 29-Mar. 5.

The Student Tracking Advising Retention System (STARS) is a web application that interacts with a collection of WSU databases. It is designed to provide convenient access to university data at both an individual and aggregate level for advising, retention, curriculum tracking and program evaluation.
Anyone with a valid WSU Access ID can log on to the Stars Student Profile with the default "Student" status. Users with this status can view their own student data but cannot access the reports module. WSU faculty and staff can request the additional access required to perform their duties.
STARS provides immediate access to an unofficial copy of a student transcript and a degree audit system showing requirements for each academic program. STARS also allows students and their advisors to map out an individualized plan of work (POW), outlining the classes students will take toward their degree in a specified timeframe. Visit stars.wayne.edu for detailed information on STARS and its compenents.

|Free Get Out of Work Letter
From those wonderful folks at Stowe Resort, here is a letter to your employer explaining why you won't be able to come to work. They're so excited at Stowe with all the snow we have received, and how much more is expected, that they've gotten a little giddy I guess.
Today it snowed about three inches and we may get about another 12 inches between now and late Tuesday. This coming weekend should be excellent for skiing and other outdoor activities. Or use the letter to your employer and get here sooner!

About LIM College
Visual Merchandising Students Create Window Display for The Fashion Center
Students' work on display for the public throughout the holiday season
The work of LIM College's Visual Merchandising students is now featured in a window display at the Fashion Center (located at 209 West 38th Street in Manhattan).
The "Holiday Fantasy" installation is a project of the College's Visual Presentation class, which is taught by Marjorie Lee Woo, Associate Chair of the Visual Merchandising Department. The students were challenged was to develop a holiday-themed window presentation that would delight tourists and fashion industry professionals alike as they bustle through New York City's Garment Center.
Under the direction Professor Lee Woo, students Flora Evoli, Corinth Montanye and Kristin Smith were responsible for the conceptualization, development, production and installation of the project. The team decided on a concept based on a festive illusion of a winter princess in an ethereal enchanted forest. They utilized a variety of materials, including paper, corrugated board, twigs, ribbon, and feathers. In the display, a corrugated cardboard tree embellished with a filigree of magical stencil cutouts sets the tone for a stylish young woman as she wanders through a snowbound forest.
The primary mission of the Fashion Center is to sustain and improve upon the vibrancy and vitality of Midtown Manhattan's Fashion District by promoting the area as a strategic business location for fashion and non-fashion related business alike. The "Holiday Fantasy" window will be on display throughout the remainder of the 2012 holiday season.

I have seen a tool that helps drain the last of the fuel out of your isobutane fuel canister, and then pierce it to make it easy to crush. It's a simple little gadget that looks like a can opener. What is this tool called and/or where can I buy it online?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
The Great Outdoors Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who love outdoor activities, excursions, and outdoorsmanship. It's 100% free, no registration required.
This (Jetboil Crunchit Recycling Tool) was found by googling "crush isobutane fuel can" and reading this second result (right below the outoors.SE question) for the link.
Cheaper and easier solution.
Attach your stove thingy (In my case, a pocket rocket). Open all the way and invert the can (away from flame sources obviously).
Use a cheap and old fashioned church key to puncture the side.
Total cost, approx. $0.50.

The week of March 8 was a great workout week and only a so-so diet week. The workouts with Trevor were some of my best since we began. I completed three workouts, each about 90 minutes. I am beginning to feel a little quicker in my agility drills and much stronger with the weights.
I am a little depressed about my ability to eat as often as I am supposed to because I have not done a good job of planning ahead. I have always been a procrastinator and this personality trait is not helping me to achieve maximum benefit. I am great at hitting deadlines, but I usually have crammed everything in at the last minute, and with this program I must do better at planning.
It is amazing how your personality has so much affect on everything you do or try to do. Not only am I fighting the weight battle, I am trying to change one of my basic personality traits. This is actually proving to be more difficult than I thought. If this was coming as easily as my progress with the training aspect of the diet, I would be much further ahead. If anyone has any ideas for helping me to overcome my procrastination as far as the meal planning is concerned, please let me know.
I got all three of my workouts in the morning last week and that was much better. I had good energy throughout the day and was able to get to sleep easier at night.

|Beautiful Fall Foliage Video
I know that now might not be the right time of year for this, but I just ran across a great fall foliage video that is enjoyable to look at no matter when you see it.
It is an unusually well done amateur video with good editing and music. Videographer Roger Shealy shot this footage last October during a visit to Burlington and Lake Champlain.
This video will inspire you to visit VT to see the foliage colors even if you have been here to see it previously. They always look great but last year was a spectacular year for color - many more red leaves than I ever remember seeing before and the orange and yellow leaves were extremely bright too. The season started early but remained a long time.
Start saving your $$$ now and plan to travel to VT and see this year's foliage show!

En español | The appeal of working from home, be it full time or part time, is easy to understand. Telecommuting employees are happier and more loyal, and they have fewer unscheduled absences, according to a recent survey by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Employers have noticed. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that about a quarter of employed Americans work from home some hours each week. In a 2012 study by the Families and Work Institute, 63 percent of employers said they allowed employees to work remotely in 2012, up from 34 percent in 2005.
But there's no one-size-fits-all approach to teleworking. Successful teleworking depends on such factors as your personality, your work habits, your career goals, the type of job you do, and the corporate culture of your employer.
If you're thinking of asking your employer to change your working arrangement, ask yourself these questions:
1. Is my job right for working from home?
The best telecommuting jobs are often ones that require a quiet space to research, read and process information without distraction. Virtual work, for example, is a natural fit, if your job is Web-based. There are also remote jobs in accounting, sales, public relations, medical transcription and customer service.
Many of these jobs, of course, are performed by freelance and contract workers who work from a home office. By their very nature, these positions generally don't require the face time associated with hobnobbing around the office, supervising employees or sitting in meetings.
If you have to be on-site to perform your job, chances are slim you'll be able to transition to teleworking full time. The best you might be able to negotiate with your boss is an occasional work-from-home day.
2. Am I hardwired for telework?
To work from home on a regular basis, you'll need to be organized, disciplined, have first-rate time management skills and be a self-starter. You may find that you're working harder because it may be hard to ignore your bosses' or coworkers' phone calls and emails even when you should technically be off work, say late at night or on weekends. It can be really hard to push back from the computer and call it a day. You'll need to be able to set firm boundaries between work and home.
3. Can I technically make it work?
Your communication skills will need to be top-drawer. That means you'll need to be comfortable communicating via phone, email and videoconferencing. If you need to give presentations or do any training, you should get familiar with Web-based meeting programs like GoToMeeting, Cisco WebEx, Join.me, TeamViewer or Google+ Hangouts. Some are free, some aren't. See what platform your company or IT department prefers.
But it goes a little deeper than that. While you don't need to be an IT whiz, Luddites need not apply. Teleworkers need to navigate the inevitable technology snafus and troubleshoot. For the fritzes you can't solve, you will need to have a good relationship with someone in your employer's IT department who can lend a hand quickly. A boss isn't going to put up with recurring "technical difficulties." For freelancers, line up a tech buddy on speed dial.

pipe templates
Check these out.
I have used bamboo sticks and tape. Use a rubber band first to hold the sticks in place. Put tape around the sticks, remove the rubber band. Cut the tape, then wrap around the piece to cut.Be safe

no pipemasters didnt help for an elbow cope but they do show how to cope for a pipe to pipe on a degree connection thank you tho mine isnt for pipe to pipe connection tho mine is being used as a support under an elbow to support a vertical pipe as far as size i need a range of sizes anywhere from a 1" support to a 1 1/2" elbow to a 12" support to a 24" elbow with a connection like the one shown in the attachment in my first post
i can buy these support prefab'd however its normally cheaper to make the supports myself i have a formula to figure this cut out if it was to be drawn in cad but i cannt figure it out
Well I guess the Mods did not like my post and links to Summit racing.
e.king, my answer to your question.
Get you some bamboo sticks, enough to lay around the pipe you need to cut and weld.
Get a rubber band that will fit snug around the same pipe.
Put the band on the pipe.
Slide the sticks into the band, enough to go all the around the pipe.
Now the fun part, hold the pipe with the sticks in the position you will be welding.
Slide the sticks up to piece you welding to. It will make a template of the angle and curve you will need.
Very carefully wrap the sticks still on the pipe in tape, good tape, sticky tape.
Now slide the sticks, tape and all back down your pipe, mark and cut.
Or buy one of these.Be safe
Give more than you get and
you will get more than ya need.

that life puts out.

All you have to do is learn how to do "parallel line development" Then you will be able to make a template for any angle....... not that hard to learn

Do it all the time, dummy legs, pipe/90 supports, what ever name you want to hang on it. Piece of cake.
If you want to make up your own templates, then I'd suggest buying the "Pipe Fabricators Blue Book" by W.V. Graves,,,,,,,,, not the "Pipe Fitters Blue Book", different animal.
It has most of them from 1 1/2" on a 1 1/2" on up to a 24" on a 48" 90 deg. ell. It also has these same dim. if you are working on sch. 10, sch. 20, std wt. and ex. heavy wall, pipe. It has all three styles of "fit", flush with the inside of the 90, flush with the outside of the 90, or on center line, like in your example.
It has these same dim. on the straight saddles, 22 1/2 deg, 30 deg., 45 deg, 60 deg. laterals, and the same on all the eccentric saddles, alot of info.
The old man that made this book, lived right around the corner from me, interesting story behind this book, but most of the "prima donna's" on this site would call me out on it.
Anyway when I make a template off these dim. I also write down the "dim" or formula on the template to lay it out to length so I only have to make one cut, it's all there if you use it right.
Hope this helpspull-do

On Friday, February 24th during NBA All-Star Festivities, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Announced 12 Finalists for 2012 Election and out of those 12; three have Southeastern Conference ties. Those three provide a touch of class for the SEC and include; Rick Pitino, Katrina McClain, and Bernard King. The rest of the finalist for the hall are; Don Nelson, Reggie Miller, Bill Fitch, Maurice Cheeks, Dick Motta, Hank Nichols, Ralph Sampson, Jamaal Wilkes and the All American Red Heads.
The fate for the three will be announced on Monday, April 2 in a press conference in New Orleans, LA during the NCAA's Men's Final Four. Each finalist must obtain 18 of 24 votes from the Honors Committee for election into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Hopefully the 2012 class will include both of the former SEC players and the former Kentucky Coach.
Let's dive in and take a look at the three finalists with SEC ties.
