In Sunday's article on the Minot riots of August 1913, curbside demonstrations at the downtown corner of First Avenue and Main Street attracted a weighty response from local law enforcement and impassioned segments of the community, which in turn protracted the incident over the span of 10 days.
The demonstrations revolved around Industrial Workers of the World organizers, who had come to Minot at the invitation of local socialists.
But how did tensions in Minot rise to such a level? Who were these socialists, and where did they come from?

A group of Minot socialists unite for a group photo, circa 1912. An influential political movement in the area, Minot's local government was under a socialist administration from 1909-11, in part because of the group's prohibitionary stance toward alcohol.
The socialist presence in North Dakota, as across much of the Midwest at the time following the populist movements of the late 1800s, dated back to the turn of the 20th century. In Minot, its first Socialist Local was formed in 1905 by predominately Scandinavian immigrants, and by 1909 the party had swept local elections. Prohibition of liquor and women's suffrage were both movements gaining steam nationwide, and it was this first issue which largely lifted the socialists to Minot's city hall. Socialists considered liquor to be a tool of political oppression, commonly given to workers by employers to supplement low wages. Farmers that did so risked having their threshers sabotaged and barns burned down by indignant agitators.
Meanwhile, Minot was a boom town struggling to shed its rowdy image and find a respectable sort of stability.
"Ward County was wet when the rest of the state was dry," a situation that Mark Timbrook said earned it the enmity of its neighboring counties. Timbrook is an instructional designer and technology specialist at Minot State University and author of the book "The Last Hurrah," a history of Minot's founding.
It was because of Minot's questionable reputation that other counties had protested and delayed for four years the construction of the Normal School, now known as Old Main on the MSU campus. The county was getting a bad name, which is why a Minot lawyer and prominent socialist named Arthur LeSueur had been elected in 1909 with the hopes that he might crack down on the county's numerous "blind pig" speakeasies and red-light establishments.
He fulfilled that promise, but with a greater thoroughness than was expected by the town's more esteemed citizenry.
"LeSueur actually cracks down on the high society," said Timbrook, explaining that LeSueur raided both the premises and social havens of prominent farmers and local businessmen, many of whom were members of the Commercial Club.
"The Commercial Club was pretty powerful," he said. "If you're anybody, you belong to the Commercial Club."
Liquor may have been a cause for controversy, but the real issue at the heart of Minot's political division was the community's future. In its coverage of the 1911 commission election, a precursor to The Minot Daily News, the Minot Daily Optic, described the race as being between "the liberals and the radicals." From its contemporary viewpoint, radicals such as the agrarians and the socialists wanted to run Minot "as a small eastern town," temperate and beholden to what its editors considered unstable public opinion. The liberals of its day included the members of the Commercial Club, businessmen and planners who hoped to someday turn Minot into a metropolitan center for industry.
Another issue was the charged and divisive nature of the socialists' rhetoric. A common complaint in both the Optic and Reporter editorial columns between 1911 and 1913 stemmed from a perceived atheism and lack of patriotism among the movement's supporters. Although the events predated the "Red Scare" panic over Bolshevist infiltration that would sweep the nation by the decade's end, the formation of the Ward County Central Committee by LeSueur in 1910 was doubtless disconcerting to some, as were the IWW's yearly attempts to organize the state's harvest hands.
These things in mind, the deterioration of LeSueur's political position was swift. It may not have come to him as a surprise though, as the Optic reported in January 1911 that he was already looking to sell his law practice. A number of politically charged lectures and a furious editorial debate in the local papers led up to the election on April 4, of which the Optic said "passes off very quietly with no fatalities." The majority of LeSueur's commissioners were voted out of office, replaced by anti-socialists such as Luther McGahan, who became his vice-president on the commission.
In his annual message to the commission, LeSueur nonetheless urged a number of reforms, ranging from the establishment of a professional fire department and construction of a children's playground, to lowering levies and electricity rates. While it was customary in previous years for the commissioners to vote to accept the statement, the president's sole ally, R.H. Emerson, was unable to find someone to second his motion to do so.
The final straw was a vote by McGahan and other commissioners to donate $300 to the Commercial Club, "for advertising purposes." LeSueur refused to sign the measure, calling it illegal, and in the spat that followed was asked by the Socialist Local to resign rather than head a dysfunctional government. He and Emerson both resigned on May 15, with McGahan taking over until a new election could be held.
Defeated, LeSueur still remained politically active in the state, the Reporter noting that he attended a debate in April 1912, also founding the socialist newspaper "The Iconoclast" in downtown Minot the same year. Socialism remained a powerful political movement in the starkly divided community, as evidenced when the Socialist Party of North Dakota held its convention in Minot in 1913. By that time, Timbrook said, there were around 500 registered party members in the town of 6,100 (including children), as recorded in the 1910 census of Minot. There would also have been a number of unaffiliated sympathizers, as well.
So it was of no particular surprise when IWW organizers came to town in an attempt to agitate workers on the Main Street paving project. But socialism was already becoming a prickly subject following LeSueur's administration of the city, and the IWWs had a reputation for political extremism that a number of people found unwelcome. Following the ensuing riots, even trade unions and socialist locals distanced themselves from the group. A statement issued by the Fargo Trades and Labor Assembly on Aug. 18 of that year said it was "most emphatically opposed to the IWW principles and methods, not only in North Dakota, but in every state in the union."
Writing about the event to Pearson's Magazine in an article in the August 1915 edition titled "A Traitor to His Caste," Willis Rutledge described the 10 days as a full-fledged riot: a nightly, "bloody struggle in the street."
"The streets of Minot resounded with riot; men were beaten into insensibility, thrown into automobiles" and abandoned in the countryside or else arrested; "the wives of workingmen were knocked down, beaten, and thrown into jail; their children were kicked from the sidewalks. A 'broadcloth mob' of the better element took possession of the city and raged through it with club and pistol."
On the other side, local newspaper reports were either less imaginative or more guarded in their descriptions. As an example of the latter, in its Aug. 21 edition the Reporter indicated that "a number of women attempted to stir up trouble, and in the struggle, got considerably jostled around though no one was hurt."
"Hiding behind the skirts of a woman!" the story continued. "Need any more be said to condemn the whole outfit as unworthy of the support or even the sympathy of real men and women?"
By the end of the first weekend there were more than 100 prisoners in the local jail and an open-air stockyard assembled between the courthouse and jail buildings. Differently situated than the modern structures built in 1929, the courthouse and jail for "Imperial Ward County" were begun in 1890 and finished the following year, after the county seat had formally moved from Burlington to Minot in 1888.
Conditions for the wave of prisoners were rough, in part because they were indocile and because the city's facilities were unsuitable for such a large number. A stockade was erected outside between the courthouse and jail buildings to keep the lower-level and out-of-town protesters in, with armed deputies keeping watch from the rooftops. When those held inside the jail became too boisterous with their songs, threats and slogans, Timbrook said, their jailers turned on the furnaces, making the already potent August heat unbearable; they soon lost their will to sing. Outside in the stockade, conditions were even worse.
In an article titled "Stonepile is plan for vags," the Reporter explained that the city filled its stockade with stones, with sixty sledgehammers to break these down into gravel. Of the prisoners, it wrote: "If he works faithfully for five hours, he will be given a rest, and something to eat. If he refuses to work, he will remain on the stonepile without food for ten hours." If prisoners in the stockade attempted to create a disturbance, they were threatened with the hoses of the fire department.
A trial was being hastily prepared, and although the police were able to clear the streets each night, rumors still circulated that the worst was not yet over. The fate of Minot was clouded in fearful uncertainty, and city officials would have to resort to more drastic measures before the crisis' end.

At the downtown Rochester office of Garth Fagan Dance, proclamations from mayors and legislators cover the walls like family photographs. Promotional dance wear, part of the stock-in-trade for successful touring companies, is sorted into piles across the end of the room. Every sweatshirt is imprinted with a succinct critique of Garth Fagan's artistry: "Unfailingly original!"
It takes originality, and some merchandising skill as well, to keep a modern dance troupe in business for four decades. Only a few (names like Alvin Ailey and Paul Taylor top the list) have enjoyed such longevity. So Fagan is justified in celebrating his 40th anniversary season for a few extra months. As audiences revel in his expressive and often exuberant creations, nobody's really counting.
Fagan brings a program of ambitious new work and repertory classics to the State University College at Oswego's Waterman Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10. Among them is the festive suite "Thanks Forty," which launched the anniversary celebration at Manhattan's Joyce Theater in November 2010.
Those attending the Oswego performance also will experience Fagan's deeper, more reflective touch. "Madiba," his new homage to the courage, resilience and humanity of South African leader Nelson Mandela is a project with special meaning for Fagan.
"In 1998, I met Mandela during his visit to Jamaica," he says. "The power and the peace of the man were absolutely awe-inspiring."
Mandela's story is complicated — affected by the volatile history of South Africa and the conflicting interests that buffeted it throughout the 20th century. The details of his life as a young activist, a prisoner on Robben Island and a national reformer will spawn controversy and challenge biographers for years to come.
By calling the piece "Madiba" (Mandela's less-familiar clan name), Fagan deliberately softens the focus. His interest is the figure who emerges from unimaginable hardship without bitterness and ready to forgive —"ripped open to empathy" as a fellow South African, Bishop Desmond Tutu, has expressed it.
Fagan divides "Madiba" into two sections, "Before and Then" and "Then and Now," set to a single repeated track by South African jazz composer Abdullah Ibrahim. Pressed to define the ambiguous "Then," Fagan says it corresponds to Mandela's long incarceration. The midpoint of the piece is a solo by veteran Fagan dancer Norwood Pennewell, performed in striking silence.
"Madiba" employs familiar Fagan elements like lyrical duets, as well as bold technical innovation. Near the transition, a video camera strapped to Pennewell's body allows simultaneous projection of the other dancers he encounters onstage — like flashbacks from captivity to the circle dance of youth.
Recent studies suggest that when we experience an engaging performance, the sections of the brain associated with ego temporarily shut down.
When asked what he hopes might remain when the houselights come up again, Fagan answers, "The possibility of overcoming adversity and meeting each other beyond race, religion and difference. What a world that would be.
"If half of that comes through, I'm a very happy man," he says.
The details
What: Garth Fagan Dance performance.
When: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10.
Where: Waterman Theatre, Tyler Hall at the State University College at Oswego.
Tickets: $12, general; $10, seniors, non-Oswego State students, Oswego State staff and faculty; $7, Oswego State students. To purchase, call 312-2141 or 312-3073 or go to tickets.oswego.edu.

TRENTON — A New Jersey assemblyman is calling on a union leader to resign for comparing Republican Gov. Chris Christie to Adolf Hitler during a Statehouse rally.
Communications Workers of America vice president Chris Shelton referred Thursday to the governor as "Adolf Christie" and to Democratic leaders of the Legislature as Nazi generals.
Shelton addressed 3,500 union members in Trenton protesting legislation supported by Christie and the Legislature's Democratic leadership. The legislation would require public employees to pick up a larger portion of their pension and health benefits costs.
Republican Assemblyman Jon Bramnick wants Shelton to resign.
CWA political director Bob Master says Shelton has apologized and the decision on whether he continues in his role is up to the union members who elect him.

Metal has waged an uphill battle in Portland. For a long time, the city's indie-centricity kept heavier genres shoved away in the deepest, darkest corners of the local music scene. Things are different today. Relapse Records has an office in town. Sizzle Pie names pizzas after Motörhead and Slayer albums. Red Fang is poised to chart with its next album. We even have regional festivals celebrating the metallic arts, including the Northwestern Black Circle Festival, now in its fifth year. Metal is hip—which means it's the perfect time to do an autopsy on Portland's extreme past. Here, we turn over the stones beneath which lurk the bands that helped clear a path through the city's overgrowth of cardigans and folk music, blasting out a niche that's allowed this current crop of brutalists to thrive.
Dead Conspiracy
[DEATH METAL] Only a handful of American death-metal acts had a recording out before Dead Conspiracy's first 1987 demo; in fact, Trey Azagthoth sent a fan letter and ordered a copy when Morbid Angel was in its infancy. Bulldozing its peers with unprecedented tempos, Dead Conspiracy was drawing big crowds by the end of the '80s. In a strange sign of the times, the group began incorporating elements of funk, including a horn section, and were courted by a major label. Ultimately, the band moved to San Francisco before imploding in 1991. Last year, the group re-formed with a new drummer and vocalist.
Thy Infernal
[BLACK METAL] Inspired in equal parts by the imagery of Canada's Blasphemy and the unapologetic outrageousness of G.G. Allin, Thy Infernal arrived in the late '90s wearing corpse paint and spitting purple Kool-Aid into the audience. That's just the beginning: The group also brought pig heads to Satyricon, desecrated graves and garnered blessings from the Church of Satan. The band openly courted controversy, performing alongside notorious Scandinavians Mayhem and alleged white supremacists Blood Axis, but its shows, both in and out of Portland, remain the stuff of legend.
Gun Pro
[METALCORE] Like many genres, metalcore has become watered down, but once upon a time, bands like Gun Pro pushed boundaries. (Full disclosure: My brother, Merlin Carson, was the band's guitarist.) Formed in Corvallis in 1995, the band found support in Portland's local hardcore and powerviolence scenes. Several recording sessions at Smegma Studios were never issued, which is a shame, because the music—with its mythological lyrics and bizarre time changes—was highly original.
Fall of the Bastards
[CRUST] At the turn of the millennium, metal was becoming less of a dirty word in Portland. It was around this time that Fall of the Bastards arrived, blending black metal, folk and crust into a seamless whole. Anchored by Eli Bloch's furious and technical drumming, the group featured a dual-guitar onslaught from Donald Stanley and Kody Keyworth and a singer, Jason Voorhees (not his real name), who wore his hair in dreadlocks and had a face full of piercings. The band splintered into different factions following a farewell show at Satyricon in 2008.
[GORE METAL] One of the more successful death-metal bands to emerge from Portland, Engorged once recorded an entire concept album about Cobra, the G.I. Joe villain. Later, the group opted for more gratuitously gory lyrics. Throughout the years, a cadre of axe-wielding madmen filed through its ranks. Tendrils of association connect Engorged to highly regarded local obscurities like Wraithen, Frightmare and Lord Gore, while one of the masterminds behind the G.I. Joe era, Rosy Cross, was famously fired from the group, and went on to be famously fired from Danava.
SEE IT: The Northwestern Black Circle Festival is at Branx, 320 SE 2nd Ave., on Thursday-Sunday, Aug. 8-11. 5 pm. $14 advance, $16 day of show per day, $56 weekend pass. All ages. Also see listing, this page.

NEW YORK — A month and a day removed from the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman bluntly reiterated he intends on pursuing external pieces to upgrade his middling club's roster.
"I'm ready to rock-and-roll," Cashman told a group of reporters Monday afternoon.
Cashman was candid in his evaluation of the team, describing the Yankees (41-39) as "fortunate" to find themselves just two games out of first place in the American League East because of the injuries to their rotation and "poor performance" from several players.
"There's some things I need to do and I'll keep trying to work on getting them done," Cashman said. "In the meantime, hopefully we'll get some guys healthy and some guys producing at the same time."
Logically, acquiring starting pitching is at the top of Cashman's shopping list. The Yankees are currently without 60 percent of their rotation due to injury. Though CC Sabathia is making progress in his rehab from a right knee injury and is expect to rejoin the team by the end of July, Ivan Nova (Tommy John surgery) isn't returning this season and Michael Pineda (back), Cashman said, won't be back until August at the earliest, if at all.
There are two elite possibilities available — the Cubs' Jeff Samardzija and the Rays' David Price — but Cashman indicated the asking prices are substantial. Other lower-tier options include the Cubs' Jason Hammel and the Diamondbacks' Brandon McCarthy.
"I think those who have (players) are taking their time," Cashman said. "I think, it's been communicated if they get what they want, which would be an extreme haul, then they're ready to move sooner than later. For those who want to step up and really pay the price, a month before the deadline hits, obviously there's going to be a higher price for that."
Cashman would not reveal whom other teams are asking for in trade scenarios, but said teams are inquiring about players and covet some pieces. Potential trade bait includes breakout reliever Dellin Betances, and catching prospects Gary Sanchez and John Ryan Murphy.
"I wouldn't say who gets asked a lot about, but I do know that we have personnel that are very attractive to other clubs," Cashman said. "Personnel that I typically would not want to part with. But we'll go through the walk and see where it takes me."

Zach's Two-Start Pitcher Notes – Week of 7/21
Jacob deGrom (@SEA, @MIL)
Over his last five starts, deGrom boasts a 1.65 ERA and 1.16 WHIP to go along with 38 strikeouts in 32 2/3 innings. Next week, he gets to face a Mariners team that ranks in the bottom half of the Majors in runs scored, home runs and batting average in a pitcher-friendly park. The @MIL matchup is a challenging one, but deGrom's recent performance has convinced me to pitch him.
Ryan Vogelsong (@PHI, vs. LAD)
Although Vogelsong's 2014 stat line doesn't exactly jump off the page, he's usually a safe bet for a quality outing. The Phillies rank 11th in the NL in runs scored and 13th in batting average and while the vs. LAD matchup is a little scary, note that Vogelsong's ERA at home this year (3.04) is more than two full runs lower than his road mark (5.18).
Collin McHugh (@OAK, vs. MIA)
There's a small chance that McHugh won't make the @OAK start, but all indications are that he will be activated from the DL in time. Regardless, I'd be very wary of pitching him next week, as the A's and Marlins both rank in the top-4 in their respective leagues in runs scored and McHugh hasn't been nearly as dominant as he was during the early part of the season. In a league with daily lineups, I might consider pitching him against the Marlins if he does well against the A's. But in a weekly, I think you're better off ditching.
Shane Greene (vs. TEX, vs. TOR)
Greene has no doubt been a nice story, but let's not overlook the fact that his entire big league body of work spans a mere 13 2/3 innings and his career minor league numbers are really nothing special. The bottom line is that I need to see a lot more before I can trust Greene in any mixed league and I don't like these matchups at all. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few weeks, the tale of Greene looks a lot like that of Chase Whitley. The wheels could fall off in a hurry.

In an NL only keeper league would you do this trade?
Get: Shelby Miller (9 dollars)
Give: Ryan Vogelsong (6 dollars)
I'm looking to make a run at first place and this trade is to the first place team. I am in second place.
I need help. I need to drop 2 players so that I can pick up 2 pitchers. I currently have Pablo Sandoval and Kyle Seager at 3rd and Elvis Andrus and Jose Reyes at s/s. Who should I drop in each position to get more pitchers. In our league we have more categories on the pitching side than on the batting side. Thanks.
I play in a yahoo league and am looking at my projected games for position players. I am on pace to fully consume 1B, 2B, 3B, and OF by the end of the year but am curious about the OF position.
For pitchers I know I can pitch dozens of innings on the last day as long as I have .1 innings remaining. Is that the same for the OF position? If I have 1 game remaining will I still be able to play 3 players that day or will I be limited?
Thanks for the help,

Chico landmark closes after nearly 70 years
When friends and patrons left Sunday after Barstool Bingo, "Mama" Mary Turner shut the doors to the 19th Hole Restaurant for the last time.
The restaurant and bar on Erlands Point Road near the Kitsap Golf and Country Club in Chico closed over the weekend after the owner, Herb Heintz of Seattle, called Turner and told her to close shop.
Mounting debt from unpaid taxes and a slumping economy forced the closure of the World War II-era building.
"I tried desperately to make this work and keep the doors open to the public," said Turner, the restaurant's manager. "We just don't have enough money."
More than 300 people crowded the restaurant Saturday to have their last pint. It was a chance for old friends and newcomers alike to say their goodbyes.
"In a way it's like a graduation and you don't know where everyone else is going from there," said Isaac Smith, who said he visited the restaurant almost every night.
The floor was full of people singing along while Turner sang karaoke for the last time Saturday night, "Babe" by Styx. She said patrons lifted her chair over their heads and chanted her name.
"It was the greatest day of my life. I've never felt so loved," she said, adding the experience was bittersweet. "It was really, really rough for me."
Turner, who grew up in Detroit and moved to Bremerton in 1983, has worked at the 19th Hole for 23 years and calls the place her "princess." She's officiated weddings at the bar, wakes and receptions.
"I've stayed here because I love it," she said, noting she hasn't had a day off in a year.
Turner said the 19th Hole has been both a place for first jobs and second chances.
The Bremerton Police Department and probation officers have dubbed her "the queen of second chances" because she has hired employees when no one else would because of their criminal background, she said.
She said it is all part of the restaurant's motto, "That's how we roll at the hole."
For Turner and her patrons, the 19th Hole was a home away from home.
"People go there and it's just like there is no drama and no fights. You feel like you're at home," said Smith, known to those at the 19th Hole as "Mike Jones" for his karaoke raps. He added that he felt safe and at ease. "You feel comfortable, they don't judge you on anything. Everybody is friendly there."
George Golay, Turner's son who worked as a bartender at the 19th Hole, said the people that frequented the restaurant were viewed as friends.
"The camaraderie, the people that come through the door, aren't just customers," he said. "They tell you their problems, I tell them mine."
Some patrons have made friends and formed bonds over drinks.
"It's all family, we're all family," said Kathleen Howe of Silverdale. She said she met her boyfriend there and that her cousin met her husband there, as well. "Everybody is split up and no one knows what to do now."
Turner was serving third generation regulars before she was forced to shut the door.
"It's crazy how many people there are who my mom has changed their diapers and later served them their first beer," said Golay.
The green building is not much to look at, and Golay knows it. He said it is what goes on inside that counts.
"This place is nothing fancy. The plumbing sucks, the electrical sucks, but it doesn't matter to people," he said.
The 19th Hole used to be called Richfield Tavern in the 1940s when it was built, Turner said. It was also in a different location up the street. She said the building was uprooted and moved to its current location 40 years ago, where it has since been added onto.
The building had a major remodel in 1995, expanding from 1,500 square feet to 3,700 square feet. It was then that the 19th Hole added restaurant to its name and began serving hard liquor.
Heintz and a co-owner bought the establishment in 2006, but the partnership went south, something Heintz said crippled the bar.
"I played catch-up for two years after that," he said. "If I'm losing money every month, I've got to stop the bleeding."

Tom Dart on the genius (and comedy) of Joseph Heller
It says on the cover that Catch-22 is 50, but the book seems too relevant for that to be true, partly because there is something timeless and unchanging about Man's relationship with war.
Reading sections of this novel, set in the Second World War, I was reminded of the profiteering in Iraq and the cover-up after the death in friendly fire of Pat Tillman, the American football star turned soldier.
As Alyson Rudd wrote last week, Catch-22 is an hilarious but dense read. The logic-bending jokes come so thick and fast, the narrative is so time-warped, that you feel spun

Culture opens their second location [in Manhattan]
It's been a little over two years since Culture first opened their doors in Park Slope. (Remember the food boner we had when we first tried it?). Since then, what seems like 100 yogurt and gelato places have opened in the neighborhood, each trying to take a bite of Culture's business. Yet none of them have succeeded at scooping away Culture's customers (We'll stop with the puns now, we swear). Which is why Culture decided to open up a second location!

The Columbian of Vancouver reinforces its support for a new Columbia River Crossing that connects Vancouver and Portland and extends light rail through downtown Vancouver all the way to Clark College. But it argues against a Washington ballot measure -- Proposition 1 -- that calls for a sales tax upon folks living in the C-Tran service district. The paper says money to expand transportation choices for Clark County residents can be found in other ways.
The Coos Bay-based Bravo Co. is part of the National Guard's 1st Battalion, 186th Infantry. The World newspaper of Coos Bay credits Bravo Co. with plenty of war service. But the company's role in Oregon -- notably in assisting folks in times of natural disaster -- is just as important and deserves new attention as the 186th re-engages with local communities.
The Oregonian's editorial board anticipates caution in Salem on Thursday by a House Business and Labor Committee that hears about the state's antiquated liquor laws. But that's okay, the board argues, because substantive reform in Oregon may shift to the intiative system if the Legislature fails to bring more businesslike practices to the sale and distribution of liquor.
The editorial board also lauds Portland city commissioners for their unanimous vote to fluoridate the public water supply. The measure had engendered passionate opposition from some citizens who fear damaging health effects.
Internationally, the killing of Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, brought swift and unequivocal condemnation from American leaders, among them President Barack Obama. But The New York Times noted that Mitt Romney publicly disputed that fact and argues he debased his candidacy for president by restating the false accusion that Obama had sympathized with the killers.

ANN ARBOR—30 carries out of the tailback position that resulted in a net gain of 28-yards.
What more needs to be said about Michigan's power running game following their four-overtime loss at Penn State Saturday?
Not much.
The lone bright spot for the Wolverines came on the legs of quarterback Devin Gardner who carried the ball 24 times for 121-yards. But if it's up to offensive coordinator Al Borges, that won't be the game plan moving forward with his offense.
"I don't want him carrying the ball 25 times," Borges said Tuesday. "Cause he won't make it. Denard (Robinson) didn't make it.
"But there's going to be in times, in the heat of the battle, if those are the things that work and those are the things that help you win, you've got to go do them. And our power running game wasn't that good."
Despite the ineffectiveness of the offensive line at the line of scrimmage and lack of any production from the running back spot, Borges believes abandoning the run game isn't the right option, adjusting to Penn State's defense coming out of the break.
"And we did that," Borges said. "The thing about it is, because the power game wasn't as good, you can't just say 'we're not going to do it anymore.'
"What we did in the second half is we threw the ball more and created a few big plays."
Senior left tackle Taylor Lewan was knocked out of the game in the first half, paving the way for redshirt freshman Erik Magnuson's first extended time on the field at right tackle, shifting Michael Schofield over to the left side.
Joey Burzynski also saw time at left guard in place of Chris Bryant. With a full week of practice before hosting Indiana Saturday, Michigan plans to use every rep to figure out a starting five on the offensive line.
"That depth chart is in pencil," Borges reiterated. "This week we're auditioning more players and we're going to see how it turns out. We're going to iron these mistakes out one way or another and find the five best guys we feel that can do it.
"That doesn't mean the guys that were in there aren't going to be in there. We're going to give them a chance too."
Heading into the seventh game of the season, Borges thought Michigan would have the offensive line figured out by this point.
"I would hoped five, that would've happened a while back but it didn't," Borges said. "It's like tailbacks my first year here.
"You don't want to do it ever but you've got to find the best five. Whatever it takes to find the best five."

To the Editor:
I read the article "Washington Township High School graduate named top carpenter in the nation," in the July 14 Times.
I thought, at first, what a great story. It was well written — different from the negative things we see all the time. When I finished reading it, I had a different feeling.
Here was a young man (Jesse Bolt) whom everyone had written off, including himself: "Woodshop and gym were the only classes I cared about."
When I say "written off," I mean tagged as "not college material." So, if it were not for his talking to a retired counselor from Eastern University (who recommended a residential mechanical trade school), he would have hopefully gotten a job and maybe learned a trade from a local contractor.
I have witnessed this before and I wonder why no one sees a problem here. Where was his guidance counselor? Why wasn't he in a "vo-tech" high school?
Could it be because if a child goes to one, the home school has to share the money the state gives them for each child? Or is it that local high schools are only interested in furthering those who can go on to college? Have we forgotten that a computer can't fix a toilet, or build a house or wire a building? Not everyone wants to or can go to college.
In Ireland, they ask high school students before graduation what they want to do with their lives. Do you want to go to college or learn a trade such as electrician? I had a friend who said "electrician." When he graduated they sent him to electrician's school, for four years, I believe.
When he finished school he was an electrician, with a license. How many of our students feel they aren't worth anything because they can't go to college? How many of our children with great talent are not getting the opportunity to let that talent flourish? How many didn't have a chance to meet with a retired counselor who happens to know of a school that can make those talents bud and flourish? How many of these children will we lose to McDonald's?
How are they teaching? How much money is being spent — or not — on our schools, and how much our children are learning are not the only problems with our school system in this country, are they?

SPRINGFIELD – The Agawam connection remains on the American International College women's basketball team.
Head coach Kristen Patterson has hired former Agawam and AIC standout Stacy Boisvert as the assistant coach of the Yellow Jackets.
Boisvert, who spent last season playing professionally in Portugal, replaces Travis Hyland, who left the post to be closer to his New Jersey-based family.
"I had a great experience and I'm glad I did it," said Boisvert, who turned down a contract offer to return to Portugal. "I'm really excited to go back to a program of which I was a part of."
In Boisvert's freshman season, AIC made it to the Division II national championship game. In her four collegiate years, the Yellow Jackets were 85-41.
Patterson, also an Agawam and AIC star, is beginning her fourth year as head coach.
Boisvert will be responsible for recruiting as well as assisting Patterson with the coaching duties.
"It'll be easier for me to recruit than someone else who has not been with the program," Boisvert said. "I not only know the school, but the league (Northeast-10) as well."
Boisvert hopes to find and attract qualified local players during the recruiting process.
The Yellow Jackets open their season with the AIC Tip-Off Classic Nov. 13-14 against Bloomfield and C.W. Post.

December 22, 2011
My end-of-the-year Christmas party was the best yet. The festivities began at 10PM and ended somewhat hazily around 6 the next morning. My son JT provided the youth and I provided the gravitas. Actually it was the other way around. I provided the brawn—judo and karate experts—and he provided the artsy-fartsy types from Brooklyn with lotsa pretty girls. Cauliflower brains mixed freely with cauliflower ears. My buddy Michael Mailer, son of Norman and a very good boxer who now produces movies, had to fly to South Africa, but like a good friend he left three beautiful blondes behind who all came to the party. At midnight I announced that the three beauties sitting together in the Mailer corner were now my property because Michael had been eaten by a rogue lion somewhere near the Cape. The ladies thought it unfair, but I reminded them that life's unfair and if one's eaten, one stays eaten. Never have so many beautiful young women been in my house before—an embarrassment of riches, with clusters of them talking to each other while the men talked politics, martial arts, and other such silly subjects. Some even talked art.
"How strange it is to be writing about parties and good times when the world is in this condition."
How strange it is to be writing about parties and good times when the world is in this condition. Two days following the New York blast I flew to Switzerland and was driven up to Gstaad. Chalet Taki seemed awfully tame after the Bagel shenanigans, but at my age I can get used to anything. The mother of my children looked at me as if I were a leper who had dropped in uninvited. She flashed me an "I'm surprised you made it" sort of glance. But I've made it for so many years now, I can get across the ocean and up the mountain with my eyes closed—which they were most of the journey, as for once I overdid things. Now I'm looking forward to my New Year's Eve mini-blast—mini because the Gestapo is around and the Gestapo does not like to see people having a good time. (Just kidding.)
I suppose entertaining oneself is antithetical to seriousness and literature, but I accept it. (Big of me, n'est-ce pas?) Yet I cannot really amuse myself (unless totally sloshed) while Europe and the United States are going down Sewanee. Just think how Belle Époque Vienna was infatuated with modernity, style, and glamour, then how by the end of World War I the place was full of starving veterans huddling outside restaurants looking for bits of food. The clowns in Brussels have come up with an aspirin and they expect us to believe it's a cure. The fools have not learned post-war Vienna's lessons. The euro crisis is threatening their dream of technocratic dictatorship, yet all they can come up with are more demands for harsher austerity. I cheered when David Cameron said no and will cheer even louder when Britain gets out altogether.
If Switzerland is by far Europe's most successful country and is not a member of the Brussels gang, why can't Britain leave? The clowns allowed the PIGS to go wild, and now the same clowns will make matters worse even for those who are not responsible for the mess. Hitler must be smiling—in fact, cackling. As is Stalin. And Benito. (Mao is too gaga even to begin to understand). The great economist Joseph Alois Schumpeter argued that capitalism meant "incessant innovation," something these Brussels hemorrhoids do not comprehend. He called for creative destruction at times, as when one exploits an invention rather than sticking to the old game plan until the patent is long dead. The Brussels hemorrhoids do not possess the nous or the courage to change. Thus, 2012 promises to be an even worse year than 2011. It's starting off badly when a Bagel newspaper that Murdoch owns declares Salman Rushdie the sexiest man alive. Poor Giacomo Casanova; imagine what he's thinking somewhere up in heaven. Better to have preferred little boys than be put in the same league with Rushdie.
Speaking of little boys, leave it to The New York Times to find a front-page story unfit to print because it wasn't anti-Catholic: The Brooklyn DA recently arrested an astounding 85 Jewish Orthodox men on charges of child sex abuse. Back in 1985 a Hasidic "therapist" was indicted for abusing five boys, but police suspected he abused more than a hundred. Avrohom Mondrowitz fled to Israel, where he remains to this day a free man. Those nice guys who shoot rock-throwing Palestinian children refuse to extradite him. Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes now has to tread carefully. Fifty rabbis have signed a public announcement in Yiddish denouncing the Hasidic family who went to the cops. They asked—now get this—for any believer to kill the family that informed "on fellow Jews." So what will happen to the 85 perverts? All I know is the Times has not published a word, whereas when the Catholic Church sex scandal broke, it led the news in the front page for months. There is something very evil when rabbis who hate the non-Jewish world can dictate to an abused child's parents whether or not to talk to the mostly non-Jewish fuzz. If some parent were to go and firebomb the Times, we might see it appear on the back pages.
For all of you happy Taki's Mag readers, I wish you a very Happy New Year.

Robin Williams stole something from all of us — himself.
Robin Williams
In a weird way, that's sort of how it feels when thinking about the sudden, shocking departure from living, of Williams. For anyone who realizes the astounding talent, gifts, humour, energy and, it's being told, his personable character, it just feels like it can't be true or, I don't want to think about it being true.
There are deaths of all kinds, none of them happy, but to take yourself out of it, seems like it would rank high on the saddest scale.
It's too shocking. Robin Williams especially, totally personified energy, life, fun and laughter. It would be no exaggeration to say that he made hundreds of millions of people laugh, often, all over the world, for close to 40 years.
"One of a kind" easily comes to mind when thinking of him.
Williams' fibre-optically fast brain wiring was like watching the fastest computer in the world make up jokes and tell them to an audience.
There was more than one time when the impression he gave was that he was wired, as in, what is the matter with him? or what is he on?
It sometimes seemed like his brain was continuously on hyper, and he could not restrain it.
Well, lucky for so many, he didn't restrain it too much, but instead, performed and shared his brilliantly wired mind, wit and comedic abilities with the world.
His delivery was lightning quick, amazingly impromptu and unpredictable. Very few can make it up as you go, but he could.
Many years ago, after watching a standup routine of his, there was a feeling of being dazzled just by how he operated as a performer. Even if there was a script to go by, it felt like he injected material that just occurred to him.
His first appearance on "Happy Days" in 1978, could be one of the show's most memorable episodes, when Williams' Mork character, an alien, gave the viewing audience it's first taste of his unique style.
An alien from a more advanced world could not have fit Williams' style better.
His speech was rapid quick, his persona was one of being ahead of others, thought-wise, and the unusual alien words, phrases and behavioural mannerisms in the role just looked like it was made for him.
It's hard to imagine it being pulled off so well by any other.
His natural ability to perform the hardly natural made it extra believable for acting as a character from a more advanced world.
Similarly, with "Mrs. Doubtfire." It was reported months ago that he agreed to make a followup "Mrs. Doubtfire" movie. But now, it seems an impossible act to try and followup.
Comedienne Joy Behr said that nobody in the standup comic field wanted to follow his act, because his energy, performance and humour was electric and impossible to match. For a sequel to "Mrs. Doubtfire," only a twin or clone, maybe, could try.
He was unique as an entertainer.
Williams was public, also, about his treatments for substance abuse and his struggles with it.
His PR representative said that recently he had been suffering from severe depression.
It will no doubt, bring more fire to society's growing awareness and concern about depression and mental illnesses.
That's a good thing, and there will be much more written and discussed about it.
Now he is out of the picture, but still left the world with a huge catalogue of his work, providing healthy doses of laughter.
It's a good medicine every day, where the side-effect is smiling, laughing and making life worthwhile.
From playing doctors, singing like Elmer Fudd, acting like aliens and more, his creativity, genius and entertaining abilities were very much, out of this world.
The next time you look up at the night sky, look for the extra bright star.
Charlie Cheeseman writes from St. John's.

Sure, but New York Times critic Pete Wells' scathing review of Guy Fieri's new 500-seat Times Square monster restaurant, Guy's American Kitchen + Bar, is worth a gander.
Written in the form of 51 stinging questions to "Diners Drive-ins and Dives" host Fieri -- e.g., "Why did the toasted marshmallow taste like fish?" -- Wells' is really attempting to answer just one: "Why?" As Wells puts it, why is the kind of cooking Fieri celebrates on television "treated with so little respect at Guy's American Kitchen & Bar."
The plaudits from the Times ombudsman are premature. In the pantheon of recent concept-y New York Times reviews, it falls below Sam Sifton's Lavo takedown (written as a response to a bottle-service seeking uber-bro) or Frank Bruni's take on Charles (as a society letter to the restaurant's owner, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter). But it's a fun read nonetheless.

How to Create an Instagram Bio That Draws in Followers
Updated 5/6/14
Your Instagram bio is one of the first things customers and Instagram users see. Occasionally, someone may see one of your photos before they come to your profile. But if they're going to follow you, they will see your bio. So what impression are you making on them?
We all know the value of a good first impression. Instagram is no exception. So it's important to have a great Instagram bio that draws in users and encourages them to follow you.
If you want to spruce up your Instagram bio, here are some suggestions to consider.
Your Name
First and foremost, your name needs to be your name. Whether it's the name of your business or your actual name, the name people see on Instagram needs to be how they know you. Don't use funny spellings, odd words, unnecessary abbreviations. or other versions of your name. It's your business and your brand. Make this section representative of that.
But, you can go further than just your name. Do you have a specialty? Is there something you provide? Are you known for something in particular? Do you have a specific job title or industry niche? Include this detail in your name!
Your name and username are the only fields that Instagram considers in search queries. So if there's a keyword or niche that you want to be able to be searched for, including this in your name will increase your chances of being found.
For example, my name is listed as Jenn Herman * Blogger *
Find a unique way to stand out but that still represents your brand professionally.
Tell Them What You Do
You do something – and you do something that sets you apart from anyone else. Tell this side of your brand in your bio. Explain what makes you unique. Explain what you can do for them. Explain what you share on Instagram. Tell users what you do and who you are.
Make It Interesting
Instagram is about having fun. Your bio should reflect that fun side of your personality. Don't make your bio too stuffy or formal. Include emojis or symbols in your bio. Use humor. Ask a rhetorical question. Make people laugh. Know your audience.
Whatever you choose to say about yourself or your brand, make it interesting. Draw people in. Make them want to follow you. This is your sales pitch so make it good.
Use Keywords
Keywords aren't used on Instagram in the same way that they are on other sites. Hashtags work well and are easily searched on Instagram. But hashtags in your bio aren't clickable and won't show up in search results. So I recommend avoiding them in your bio, unless you have a custom hashtag you are recognized for.
Even though keywords aren't necessarily going to help you in term of searches on Instagram, you should still use them to connect with other users. I don't recommend keyword stuffing since it's of no value. But using keywords that target your audience and niche will help users better understand who you are and what you have to offer.
Customize It
Once again, Instagram is different from all other social media sites. It's a different audience, and for a different purpose. Therefore, your Instagram bio shouldn't be exactly the same as your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Google+ profile bios. Do not copy and paste your other bio(s) into Instagram and walk away. Your Instagram bio can have some similarities and keep the branding content that you use on other sites, but it shouldn't be a direct replica.
Take the time to craft a customized bio that represents your brand and personality but that fits within the Instagram format and culture.
Space It Out
Furthermore, Instagram allows you to space out your bio vertically. This used to be harder to achieve but recent updates to Instagram have made this practice universal. Simply hit the enter or return key on your qwerty keyboard to drop down a line (or two). Doing this will space out your content and make it more legible. It will be clearer for people to read and you can highlight your key strengths. Stand out and connect with users using this method.
Update: It looks like, for ONCE, Android users have an advantage over iOS users. I assumed that since, as an Android user, I can use the return button to space out posts, that iOS users could too. I apologize for making that assumption, even though us Android users never get anything before you iOS users. But, anyways, if you are using Instagram on your iPhone, you aren't able to use the return button to space out your bio. Instead, you can edit your bio on a computer/desktop which will allow you to use the return key. Format your post with icons/emojis and everything on your mobile device, then use the desktop site to space it out. You can also use the notepad app to format your bio then copy and paste it into your Instagram account.
Include Your Website Link
I've said this time and time again, and I'll say it again. The only place on Instagram where you can place a clickable link is in your bio. Take advantage of this real estate and include your website url, landing page, blog page, or other link in this section. Including a link in your bio also shows users that you are a credible business. This encourages people to follow you so take advantage of it.
Now you have everything you need to create an Instagram bio that will draw in followers and help you grow your business.
Yes, this will take time to craft a good bio. But the great thing is that you can change it any time you like! Experiment with different options and layouts until you find the right one.
And, if you really want a professional, interesting Instagram bio that will draw in followers but you just don't have the time or know what to say, I have a great resource for you! Sue Zimmerman is the InstagramGal and she offers custom bio creations through her website. Just head over there and see what she has to offer. And, yes, she did my Instagram bio for me, which you can see on my profile here.Share this post Subscribe to my blog

Thanks Jenn; exactly what I needed!!! We've been following each other on Twitter, Pinterest and IG, and I just saw your post on your IG account. Fast forward a bit, and here you go, a revamped IG bio 😉
Great tips, thanks Jenn. At the moment my Instagram feed is my company's name. Should I change this to just my name even though there's more than one person working at the company? Or keep it as the company name?

Actually you can make a vertical bio with an iOS device. Go into Notes and type out your bio with the vertical spacing and all, then copy and paste it into the bio text field and you now have a spaced out bio!
Just wanted to let you know a trick that us iPhone users can benefit from when it comes to spacing out your bio.
A simple solution is to write out your bio in the "notes" app, pressing return when you please, and then copy and pasting into your bio on Instagram! 🙂
Thank you for all this info! I am brand new to Instagram & am sort of muddling through figuring it all out, being a quite non-savvy tech gal. I haven't written my bio yet [the name I'm under is: nazdorovia] but shall apply your intelligent suggestions.
Thank you jenn i really needed this

HOUSE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No. 3911
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
February 21, 2014
To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives,
Pursuant to the provisions of Article II, Section 8, Paragraph 1, Clause (2) of the Amendments to the Constitution, as amended by Article LXXXIX, I am filing for your consideration the attached legislation entitled, "An Act Authorizing the Town of Scituate to Establish the Date of its Annual Town Election."
The Scituate Board of Selectmen and Representative James Cantwell have requested that I file this special legislation on behalf of the Town of Scituate. The purpose of the legislation is to allow the Town to change the date of the annual town election from Saturday, May 24, 2014 to Saturday, May 31, 2014.
The annual town election is scheduled for Saturday, May 24, 2014 as required by the Town's by-laws. Because the election falls during the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the Town is concerned that there will be few staff available to work on election day. The legislation provides that the annual town election will be held the following Saturday, May 31, 2014. The change in date will not change the deadlines set forth in candidate nomination papers.
I urge your early and favorable consideration of this bill.
Respectfully submitted,
Deval L. Patrick,
HOUSE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No. 3911
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
In the Year Two Thousand Fourteen
An Act authorizing the town of Scituate to establish the date of its annual town election.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general law, special law or by-law to the contrary, the annual town election for the town of Scituate shall be held on May 31, 2014. The establishment of such date for the election shall not change the deadlines which would be otherwise applicable as set forth in candidate nomination papers.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

Santa Paula Drive-In
125 East Harvard,
Santa Paula,
1 person favorited this theater
Listed in city directories as open in 1951 – but possibly built in the late 1940's – this theatre had a capacity for 500 cars and was operated by Pacific. It was named the Cinema Bar at one point, and was listed at 224 Barkla, a street which later became known as Harvard.
Pacific Theatres gave up the ghost on this one in the 1970's after an unsuccessful attempt at programming Spanish-language films to draw in the migrant demographic of Santa Paula. Eventually destroyed, condominiums and a mini-mall on this spot have completely erased any hint that there might have ever been a drive-in in this eastern portion of Ventura County.

The owner was Milton Smith in the early 1960s. The drive-in was gone by 1978. Here is a 1969 aerial view:
