How does a former NAACP chapter president, a self-proclaimed liberal who championed the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, end up in the hyper-conservative Tea Party?
C.L. Bryant will tell you how, because that's his story—one he shares in Runaway Slave, a new documentary now playing in limited theaters. In the film, Bryant, former pastor of a Texas Baptist church, depicts the conservative roots of the African American community and argues that a new Underground Railroad movement is necessary for liberation from entitlements.
Bryant believes that many blacks don't appreciate the freedoms and opportunities in place since the civil rights movement, instead living as if they're still under oppression and injustice. He also calls on conservatives to tell their side of African American history.
He analyzes the views and conceptions of the black community, and interviews conservative African American leaders such as Herman Cain, Dr. Alveda King (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.), economist Thomas Sowell, and more.
Bryant spoke with CT's Jasmine Young about his intentions and purpose behind the film.
You were once an NAACP leader, and now you're a conservative Tea Party patriot who openly criticizes the NAACP. How did that happen?
Twenty-three years ago when I was president of the NAACP in Garland, Texas, I was asked by the national office to speak at a prochoice rally. As a minister and person of faith, I could not reconcile that, so I turned it down. In doing so, my star that was rising in the organization began to take a decline. They not only wanted to control me, they wanted to use me to control a block of people. So I started on a conservative path with them turning on me.
How has the NAACP moved away from its original mission?
They have been totally co-opted by progressive liberals and the far left part of the Democrat Party. It's been a thorough takeover of the organization. When the organization was founded [in 1909], many black Americans were Republicans, and the organization was nonpartisan. It was set up not only with black people, but many former abolitionists too. But now the NAACP is no longer in tune to the value system of the people it was created to serve.
What criticism do you receive because of your political views?
It's paradoxical in the way I am received and the movie is received. For example, Nancy Pelosi and Rick Santorum are both Italian; one is a Democrat, one a Republican. They don't vilify each other for being a bad Italian, for being Republican or Democrat. But with black people, unfortunately, if you have a different political viewpoint, then you often become evil in the sight of the group. And as portrayed it in the film, it's tied to tribalism.
Why do you think African Americans feel that way?
Because they have not realized that we as a people have evolved, like every other ethnic group that came to this country. Even though ours was very much involuntary, we still were brought to these shores and we have been emancipated here in America. And we now have the same opportunities as anyone else. But many black people still are crippled by the rhetoric of people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who want to keep them co-dependent upon the government policies and programs of the Great Society and Lyndon Johnson.
How does your Christian faith inform your beliefs and impact your work?
I am a strong believer in the Judeo-Christian principles that shaped and formed our country, even though in the early years of our American existence those beliefs did not free my great-grandparents. But those beliefs eventually shaped the consciousness of an American people that causes me to be able to speak the way I do today as a free man. I'm a representative of perhaps the greatest success story the world has ever known—the survival of a people who went through slavery, and now a person who is able to defend those same values that not only freed my great-grandparents but keeps me free now. It's those Christian values that not only free me, but keep many people in the world free. As Christians, we've always defended the rights of others to practice their faith freely. I want to make certain through exercising my faith that I pass along to everyone else in search of freedom those liberties, individual freedoms, and strong Christian principles.

Person's review of Eclipse, mostly Bella and Jacob spoilers
Jacob and Bella's kiss was so much more intense than any Edward and Bella kisses. Almost made me go full on Team Jacob. ALMOST not quite. The leg hitch was enough to keep me Team Switz.
HAHA ask all you want! The Jacob and Bella kiss was basically the same as in the book. But this time Bella runs after Jacob when he overhears Edward talking…. Edward calls her MRS. CULLEN!!!!!! Anyway, Edward grabs her arm to stop her, but she is p***** at him. She yells at him to stop and she runs after Jacob. She's crying and it's soooo sad. She asks him to kiss her, he immediately takes her in his arms and kisses her. The shot goes to Edward's face after a few seconds. He looks a little upset, but that's all. Bella looks more upset than him when it's over. They talk, and he's not mad at all.
The "goodbye" scene with Jacob and Bella is basically exactly like in the book. A lot of the same lines. Even Bella's "Should I come back?" and Jacob says he needs time. Then he says he will always be waiting for her to change her mind. And she says "Until my heart stops beating." And his famous last words were "Maybe even then."
Their first kiss was weird, but it was meant to be. It was a lot like the book. Bella didn't do anything and when jacob was done she punched him, but he didn't move. She spun around cradling her hand.
OH and for all you Jacob fans… when Jacob gets hurt at the end of the fight we see a naked Jacob!!! OBVIOUSLY we don't SEE anything because he's curled in a ball, but yea, nakey Jacob!
Yes, very true! Jacob and Bella kiss… like she asks him as she's crying; he wrapps his arms around her and she's got hers around him. They kiss…. and kiss…. and kiss some more! And he even whispers "That should have been our first kiss." HOTTTTT!!!
Ok, first, sadly, no. They didn't show Bella imagining the a family with Jacob. It was in the script, but I do wish it was in there.
There really did! I mean just about everything. Bella and Charlie's "talk" was hysterical. I couldn't stop laughing.
Emmett was even more funny than he was in New Moon. I love his reaction to seeing Carlisle wrapping Bella's hand. "Trying to walk and chew gum at the same time, Bella?"
"No, Emmett, I punched a werewolf."
"Bad ass! You're going to be one tough little newborn."
"I'll be strong enough to take you down."
Then Rosalie got all mad and walked out on the porch. That's when Bella follows her out there and Rosalie tells Bella her story.
lol yup!!! They kept SOOO much from the books. There is even the part where Bella sneaks off to go see Jacob, but Edward broke her truck
Yea, but she didn't do it because she was MAD at Edward. It's the scene where they're back in school after Bella and Edward visit Renee in Florida. Jacob makes Bella aware that she was lied to by Edward and she's not happy about that. She goes towards Jacob because she wants to talk to him. I mean, yea, she's mad at Edward for lying to her, but she also wants to talk to Jacob about it. She gets on the back of Jacob's bike and tells Edward he shouldn't havie lied to her. Then Jacob tells her to hang on tight lol.
The tent scene was great!! Again, it was a lot like the book. But Edward doesn't tell him to go fetch a space heater lol. Edward tells him no, and Jacob says she's going to want her toes [or something along those lines]. Then Jacob moves towards Bella and Edward grabs him. Jacob says, "Get your hands off me." Edward replies, "Keep your hands off her." Jacob then says something like it's going to be on Edward's shoulders if she gets sick. The camera cuts to Bella shivering and her eyes are closed. Edward nods letting him go to her. Jacob, very sexily, pulls away the sleeping bag and [hips first] slids in right behind Bella. He looked up at Edward and smirked. Then told Bella, "You know, you'd warm up faster if you took your clothes off." But yes, Jacob and Edward talk like they do in the book. Obviously it's shortened, but they talk about what if Bella chose Jacob. And Edward said he would let her go. Then at the end of the conversation Jacob says the lines that were in the book, that if they weren't mortal enemies he would probably like him. Then he thought about it and said, "No, not even then." Edward smiled at him. During their talk the camera flashed to Bella and sometimes her eyes would be closed, other times she would open them a little and close them quickly.
Yes, Jacob shows up at the party and Bella goes up to tell him her right hook was un-inviting him. He said he had something for her and he dangled the bracelet infront of her. He says he made it and she is in awe over it. Later on when Bella and Edward are walking up to his room for the night [alone], he just suddently hooks the heart in place. He said she should have a part of him with her, too. She says it's pretty and then they walk into the bedroom. That's about it for that scene.

PENSACOLA, Florida -- Pensacola police said they have resumed their efforts to find John Thomas Hawkins IV, of Orange Beach, Alabama, who is believed to have jumped from a sailboat Monday night in Bayou Chico.
Police said in a news release today that were dispatched to the Pensacola Shipyard area, 700 S. Myrick St., at about 7:25 p.m. Monday after receiving a call that Hawkins had jumped into the water and could not be found.
Hawkins and his wife, Angela, also 35, had been staying on a friend's docked sailboat, according to police. Angela Hawkins told police she and her husband had been swimming all day and that her husband had been drinking. She said she was near the rear of the boat when she heard her husband, who is a good swimmer, jump from the front, according to the police news release.
After about 10 to 15 minutes, Angela Hawkins said she began looking for her husband but couldn't find him, according to police. At that point, she notified a security guard and, when they still could not locate him, police were called.
Sgt. Stephen Davis said foul play is not suspected at this time. The Pensacola Fire Department responded to the area with a boat Monday night and members of the Escambia County Sheriff's Office dive team also responded for a water search.
Hawkins is a white male; 5 feet, 10 inches tall; and about 215 pounds. He has blond hair and blue eyes. Anyone with possible information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Detective James Gore at 850-435-1979 or the Pensacola Police Department at 850-435-1900.

The Xeon E5-2600: Dual Sandy Bridge for Serversby Johan De Gelas on March 6, 2012 9:27 AM EST

Supermicro's Latest Twin
We got a sneak peak at the Supermicro's brand new Twin 2U server: the SYS-6027TR-D71FRF. The 2U chassis has two dual Xeon E5 based servers inside that are fed by two fully redundant 1280W PSUs (at 180-230V, 1000W at 100-140V).
The two servers are held in place using screwless clips.
You get the density of a 1U server without needing four PSUs for redundancy and without the very power hungry 40 mm fans. Indeed, using only 2 PSUs and 80 mm fans should save quite a bit of power compared to 2 1U servers. Last time we measured, the Twin servers consumed 6% less power than the best 1U servers on the market.
At the same time, the expansion capabilities are better: you get two full height and one half height PCIe 3.0 (!) x16 (x8 electrical) slots. The only disadvantage is that you only get 4 DIMM slots per CPU, which generally limits each server to about 128 GB of RAM (8 x 16 GB) unless you go with expensive 32 GB LR-DIMMS for a total of 256 GB. Therefore this server is probably better for HPC workloads than for memory intensive virtualization and database applications.
This new Twin server also features FDR InfiniBand interconnect technology, good for 56Gb/s (!) low latency network connections with an X4 cable. This should work especially well in tandem with Intel Data Direct I/O technology, where packets are directly transferred into the Last Level Cache (LLC) instead of being DMAed to the memory. This is something we'll be investigating in a later article.

yvizel - Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - linkSecond page, in the Intel table, the 2630 is listed as an eight core CPU.
But then: "...Based on the paper specs, AMD's 6276, 6274 and Intel's 2640 and 2630 are in a neck-and-neck race. AMD offers 16 smaller integer clusters, while Intel offers 6 heavy, slightly higher clocked cores with SMT..." Reply

Assimilator87 - Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - linkAh man, the 2630L error totally got my hopes up. 8 cores for $662 would be very reasonable. Reply
Kjella - Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - link...just got bulldozed. And this isn't even on the 22nm 3D transistors they're launching next month, it's like they just got a dizzying punch and know the KO punch is coming. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - linkIt'll probably be awhile before the Ivy Bridge Xeons are out. Reply
Kjella - Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - linkOf course, I'm guessing Q1 2013 before we'll see those but we already know from all the leaked SB -> IB details roughly what SB-Xeon to IB-Xeon will be like. All AMD has on their roadmap for 2013 is the "Abu Dhabi" with the "Piledriver" core promising 10-15% performance boost but still on 32nm. So you can see the punch coming a year away, but I don't think AMD has the capability to do anything about it. Reply
BSMonitor - Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - linkMy question as well.
What is the Intel roadmap for Ivy Bridge in this arena. Would be the same timeframe as IVB-E I would guess.
Wondering if my Intel dividends will pile up enough for me to afford one! Haha Reply

note: The following is one of our Top 10 food carts of the year. Keep
in mind that carts open, close, move around and take breaks all the
time, but most are good at using social media to let customers know
what's up. Check websites, Twitter feeds or Facebook pages before
heading out to eat.
Owners Mike Scheller and Katianne Lierman build jaw-cranking burger creations, featuring ground beef stuffed with mushrooms and Muenster, or blue cheese and red peppers.
The signature dish is the Galesburger, a patty stuffed with green pepper and cheddar cheese, topped with lettuce and onions and a Cajun-spiced sauce on a Fleur de Lis Bakery bun. But for audacity, the jalapeño- and cheddar-stuffed burger, towering with freshly fried Walla Walla onion rings, lettuce, tomato and cart-made chipotle BBQ sauce, takes the cake.

Welcome to the USC Epigenome Center at the University of Southern California. USC has a rich history in epigenetics research dating back to 1980 with the discovery of the effects of azanucleoside drugs on DNA methylation. The program has subsequently grown over the last two and a half decades. What followed were discoveries in transcriptional regulation that resulted in the first demonstration of a causal link between histone modification and gene expression. Later accomplishments would include seminal discoveries by Center Director, Dr. Peter W. Laird, whose approaches were subsequently applied to the intensive investigation of DNA methylation in health and disease, including breast, ovarian, colon cancer and lung cancer mesothelioma. With the establishment of a formal Center in 2007, USC hopes to continue it's prominence in epigenetic research.
An important function of the Epigenome Center is the provision of services related to analysis of epigenetic phenomenon using state of the art genotyping and sequencing platforms.

Taxing the richest 2% will hurt us too
We are a l-o-n-g way away from having to worry about Obama's latest tax strategy to cost us more on our Federal 1040 form! So you might be tempted to think that if you aren't a member of the 6 figure club either, that you have nothing to worry about when they talk about taxing the rich.
But consider this: the wealthy in our country contribute a lot to our society, whether it be in paying more taxes or through their financial contributions to various causes. The zoo, Elmbrook Education Foundation, you name it. The rich, even if their motivation is for a tax deduction, do help us all.

Hospital, the nation's first psychiatric hospital for children and
adolescents, recently launched a new program aimed at helping children
with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a disorder that affects one in
200 children nationwide.
The Intensive Program for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the first of
its kind on the East Coast, uses a milieu-based model to treat kids
who experience a significant disruption to their daily lives due to OCD
and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders.
The evidence-based program helps children, from five to 18 years old,
alleviate symptoms, such as extreme anxiety, unreasonable thoughts and
fears, and repetitive behaviors or rituals, all while improving daily
functioning. The program also helps kids stay involved in school and
family activities.
"For children and teens with severe OCD, the disruption to their daily
lives can be profound," said Jennifer Freeman, PhD, clinical
co-director of the Intensive Program for OCD. "This program
can be an effective care option for youth who have not responded to
traditional outpatient treatment or who lack specialized OCD services
where they live."
In addition to Freeman, the program is led by a team of child behavioral
experts, including medical director Brady Case, MD, and clinical
co-director Abbe Garcia, PhD. Freeman and Garcia also co-direct the Pediatric Anxiety Research Clinic at the Bradley Hasbro Children's Research
Patients are treated utilizing a specific form of cognitive behavioral
therapy called exposure and response prevention (EX/RP), which has been
found to be the most effective form of treatment for OCD. This therapy
strengthens a child's ability to manage anxiety by helping him or her
gradually face fears and ultimately reduce the repetitive rituals of
Patients in the program receive treatment after school for daily
three-hour sessions at Bradley Hospital, as well as twice weekly EX/RP
sessions at their home, school and other community settings. The
integration of community- and hospital-based treatment helps to avoid
academic and social disruption, and help children and teens return to
family life as quickly as possible.
"Every day challenges for children and teens with severe OCD can include
school avoidance, withdrawal from family and friends, loss of interest
in activities and problems eating, sleeping or bathing," said Freeman.
"Being able to offer an intensive intervention that will help these kids
go back to 'just being kids' as soon as possible is invaluable."
The Intensive Program for OCD creates individualized, age-appropriate
treatment plans for each patient, including individual therapy, and
family, group and milieu therapy. Parents and family members
contribute to this plan, starting with the patient's evaluation and
throughout treatment. Clinical staff also work closely with the
school system to develop reintegration plans for a successful return to

Cleveland won the opener of the three-game series, 5-3, over the Tigers on Tuesday night. That gave the Indians (24-18) a four-game lead over Detroit (20-22) and a 3 1/2 game edge on the second-place Chicago White Sox (21-22).
Right-hander Zach McAllister (1-1, 4.34) gets the start for the Tribe while Detroit counters with righty Doug Fister (0-2, 1.59).
The 6-8 Fister is making just his fifth start of the season. He missed a month after his first start with a left costochondral strain: a rib separating too much from the sternum, causing too much cartilage stretching.
Fister is a tough customer. He went 8-1 with a 1.79 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) after Detroit acquired him last summer in a July 30 trade with the Seattle Mariners.
Fister made six total starts for Seattle and Detroit against the Indians last season. He was 3-1 with a 1.62 ERA, striking out 38, walking five and allowing just 27 hits in 39 innings.
Plain Dealer and cleveland.com Indians coverage includes Paul Hoynes' game story on the Indians' 5-3 win over the Tigers on Tuesday night; Hoynes' podcast, talking about Indians' reliever Chris Perez and the comments he made about Tribe fans, and about the Indians-Tigers series; Terry Pluto's column that even though it's early, Tuesday night's Indians win was important; video by Glenn Moore of Perez talking about the reception he got from Indians fans and closing the win against Detroit; Hoynes' Indians Insider; and more.
The Indians' 5-3 win on Tuesday night snapped their 10-game losing streak against Detroit. The Tribe was 30-15 last May 23, with a seven-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central, before things turned around in a big way -- the Tigers finished 95-67, 15 games ahead of second-place Cleveland.
Jim Ingraham writes for the News-Herald and Lorain Morning Journal that maybe this season will be different:
With the win, the Indians are 24-18. The Tigers, who, incredibly, haven't won consecutive games in more than a month, are 20-22. The wildly spending Tigers, whose $132 million payroll is the fifth-highest in the majors and $54 million more than the Indians, haven't exactly hit the ground running this season.
After winning the division by 15 games last season, the Tigers so far this season are toothless.
Since April 19, their record is 11-19.
So you're saying there is a chance? You betcha.

There it was – on the big screen – a life-sized statue I had seen in a European church several years ago.
But, in this movie, based on a true story, the statue had been stolen during World War II.
After realizing what I had just seen, I leaned over to my friend and said, "I saw that statue in a church and it is back in its rightful place!"
Have you ever traveled somewhere and then, on television or at the theatre, seen places you have been? Don't you get a feeling of excitement of being in a place that, now, the world is seeing? Or been in a location where filming actually is taking place?
Some of my friends were driving in New York City and got held up in traffic because of the filming of a Will Smith movie – right there was Mr. Smith!
I also watched with delight the "National Treasure" movies with Nicolas Cage. There was Independence Hall in Philadelphia. I had recently walked past the hall.
The movie I saw was "The Monuments Men." Based on the book by Robert M. Edsel, it tells the story of Allied heroes, Nazi thieves and the greatest hunt for stolen art.
The Monuments Men were a group of men and women from 13 countries gathered together voluntarily to form the MFAA (Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives) program whose mission was to "save as much of the culture of Europe as they could during combat."
Coming from various backgrounds in art, the MFAA soldiers served from 1943 until 1951 by assessing damaged churches, museums and monuments, plus finding stolen or missing moveable pieces of art and archives.
Bruges, Belgium
I was on a river cruise through The Netherlands and Belgium in 2010. An optional tour was by bus to the small city of Bruges (pronounced broozh), population 118,000. The historic city centre is a UNISCO site, a designated world heritage site of special cultural or physical significance.
With our free time in the city, my friend and I strolled the cobblestone streets past many lace-, tapestry- and chocolate-making shops – chocolate, as in "decadent Belgian chocolate." Almost every other storefront was a family-owned establishment.
At the end of the street we came upon a group of musicians performing in a church courtyard. After some musical enjoyment, we walked into the building – The Church of Our Lady.
Inside the church, there it was, the 4-foot tall, white Carrara marble statue of Madonna and Child sculpted by Michelangelo. As the placard stated, "it is one of the few works by Michelangelo outside Italy." Beautiful.
History of Madonna and Child
Michelangelo had carved the statue in Italy for an altarpiece in the cathedral of Sienna. The sculpture was sold to the Mouscrons family and secretly taken out of Italy to the Mouscrons' hometown of Bruges in 1506 and given to Our Lady's Church.
In 1944, German soldiers took the statue. The soldiers told the church caretakers they had orders to take the statue, which, at the time, was in a sealed room because of the war.
The soldiers tore open the doors of the room and wrapped the statue in the mattresses that had been placed in the room for protection from bombings. The statue was hauled away in the back of a Red Cross truck (as a disguise) just eight days before a MFAA team arrived to protect it.
Ghent, Belgium
During the same river cruise, the ship docked in the Belgium town of Ghent (pronounced gent). The port and university city has a population of 800,000 people.
Ghent was occupied by the Germans in both world wars. Much of the city was not destroyed during the war so the medieval architecture is intact, including St. Bavo's Cathedral, built in the Romanesque architecture style.
Inside the cathedral, no photography was allowed, but in my journal I wrote, "We had a quick walk through the cathedral; a harpist was playing music; and we saw the miniature 'portrait' with the simulated doors of the larger painting that was being restored."
Little did I know at the time that this represented one of the two most valued art treasures in Belgium – the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, also known as the Ghent Altarpiece. The other treasure was, of course, the Madonna and Child.
History of Ghent Altarpiece
The altarpiece is 12 feet high and 16 feet wide with 12 panels of individual works of religious art.
Using oil paint and transluscent glazes, painter Hubert van Eyck started the painting, but it was finished by his brother, Jan van Eyck, after Hubert's death in 1426.
Around 1938, Adolf Hitler, a former art student, started dreaming of having an art museum named after himself. Housing his own personal collection, the museum would be the largest and most spectacular museum in the world.
Along with his collection, he would strip the German Jews of their art collections, in vindication of his rejection to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
By 1942, Hitler wanted the altarpiece to satisfy two of his revengeful quests:
To make right what he felt wrong of the Treaty of Versailles ending World War I. The painting had become a German property during the war, but the treaty requested it be given back to Belgium as war reparation; and
To put the painting into his future Fuhrermuseum in Linz, Austria.
Hitler slyly ordered a secret taking of the altarpiece using only one truck and one car. By the time Belgian authorities learned of the order, the altarpiece already had disappeared.
From 1943-45, 100 miles outside of Linz, the Altausee salt mine became the repository of treasures of Vienna art museums. But soon Hitler demanded that all his "gathered" art be moved to the Altausee mine and hidden deep within.
Built into the side of the massive Alps mountain, the mine was protected from overhead bombings and, because of the salt, moisture was absorbed and the humidity and temperatures remained constant.
As the war wore down to the Bavarian Alps, an American infantry unit seized Atraussee. The art mine was discovered and seized by the MFAA.
Because the mine entrances had been dyamited closed, the MFAA had to dig through many layers of rocks to get to the underground tunnels and rooms.
Deep within and behind a locked iron door, eight of the 12 altarpiece panels miraculously appeared. The MFAA carefully wrapped the panels in German sheepskins. Put in a trolley car, they were pushed out of the mine.
And later, there, laying on a dirty brown and white mattress, was the Madonna and Child. Wrapping it in coats and with rope, the statue was loaded onto another trolley car and removed intact from the mine.
Several days later, in another chamber room, the Ghent Altarpiece's final four panels were found.
Thanks to detailed records of inventory moved, taken or stolen by the Germans, it was learned that the Madonna and Child had left Belgium by boat in October 1944. The Ghent Altarpiece was taken to Neuschwanstein Castle, Hitler's retreat in the Bavarian Alps, and later to the salt mine.
All in all, more than 6,577 paintings, 137 sculptures and thousands of other items were found in the mine and, to this day, still are being reunited with rightful owners.

When it comes to outsourcing city work, Mayor Ray Nagin says an outright ban on hiring business people who have been convicted of public corruption might be taking things a bit too far.
Asked by WWL-TV whether he would support legislation disqualifying felons from getting future city contracts, Nagin said Thursday that it "depends upon the conviction."
"I don't want child molesters and rapists and those kind of people, but if somebody has made a mistake and has a white-collar crime and they've paid their time and they're back in the business, then I don't really see a problem with that," he said. "I would say, hopefully, they've learned their lesson, and we're smart enough to not let them steal again."
Nagin spokesman James Ross confirmed Friday that the city recently hired two local companies, A.M.E. Disaster Recovery Services and Exceptional Temporaries Inc., to perform general repairs to city buildings.
In response to her discovery of those contracts, City Councilwoman Stacy Head has said she will propose legislation banning the city from awarding public contracts to those with corruption convictions. Head declined to discuss details of the measure Friday.
A.M.E. Disaster Recovery Services has the same Norco address as several similarly named firms founded by Burnell Moliere, who pleaded guilty last year for his role in a scheme to funnel bribes to former Orleans Parish School Board member Ellenese Brooks-Simms. Moliere helped Brooks-Simms cash in on $40,000 worth of kickbacks relating to school board contracts.
Though it shares the same address as other firms he founded, A.M.E. Disaster Recovery Services does not list Moliere as an officer.
Moliere testified at the bribery trial of political operative Mose Jefferson that he took a demotion in the various A.M.E. companies after pleading guilty to cashing a bribery check for Brooks-Simms. He said he still works for the companies he started, though.
ETI, meanwhile, lists Randall Moore as a company officer. In 2005, Moore pleaded guilty to participating in a kickback scheme with a top official in Mayor Marc Morial's administration.
Neither executive is a stranger to city work.
ETI was hired in April as the local, minority-owned partner of American Traffic Solutions, which won a contract through the public-bid process to administer the safety camera program. The prime vendor receives between $10 and $29 for each paid citation. Public Works Director Robert Mendoza said this week that ETI did not actually do any work on the contract because it was not equipped to do the job and was replaced by another firm.
Moliere's Community Based Corrections LLC held a city contract to provide electronic monitoring for criminal defendants from 2003 to 2007, when city officials decided the company was being outperformed by a competitor.
Moliere's partners in the venture were Jimmie Woods, president of Metro Disposal, which as one of the city's three main trash-collection vendors is slated to earn $7.8 million next year; and Ray Valdes, who played a key role in arranging a city contract with Johnson Controls Inc., the focus of a sprawling federal probe into the Morial administration. Moore's guilty plea was related to kickbacks paid out of that contract.
Meanwhile, A.M.E. Services, which was founded by Moliere, currently holds three contracts at the city-owned Louis Armstrong International Airport, spokeswoman Michelle Wilcut said.
The most lucrative deal, paying $4.2 million a year, is a joint-venture between Ramelli Janitorial Service, Inc. and A.M.E. Services, that is due to expire next year after 11 years, Wilcut said. A.M.E. Services also is contracted to maintain carpet and floor tiles at the airport under a $80,000 annual deal, she said, though the airport has paid the firm only about $42,000 so far this year.
The company also is on a rotating list of firms authorized to perform construction inspections, but airport officials have never requested its services, Wilcut said.
Also still on contract at the airport is Pampy's Inc., the firm founded by Stan "Pampy" Barre, who is currently serving five years in federal prison for his role in skimming almost $1.1 million from the Johnson Controls deal. Pampy's operates three food services locations through a joint venture with industry giant CA One Services.
More than year after Barre pleaded guilty to federal charges in early 2007, CA One Services tried to evict his restaurants from the airport, citing a provision of its lease that allows the firm to cut off a subcontractor if the operator faces a "change in control." In mid-2007, Barre transferred his 50 percent ownership in Pampy's Inc. to his wife, Barbara.
But Civil District Court Judge Kern Reese called the lease language "too ambiguous" to let CA One Services kick Pampy's to the curb, and the firm remains ensconced at the airport.
Nagin's press office did not immediately reply to a request Friday for copies of the city's recovery contracts with A.M.E. International and ETI. No documents naming those firms appear in an online database of public contracts at the city's Web site.
Nagin's latest statement about white-collar criminals contrasts with the hard line he took when he strode into City Hall eight years ago. Running on an anti-corruption platform, one of the fledgling mayor's first actions was to enact a graft crackdown, with raids of some government agencies and the arrest of several city workers and a department head.

A piece of land that juts into Bloomingdale Road and is home to a large oak may soon be history
For the last five years, South Shore residents driving along Bloomingdale Road have been facing a natural bottleneck between Hargold and Englewood avenues, on the border of Pleasant Plains and Rossville.
A 40-or-so-foot section of land, beginning at the midpoint of the block and extending south to the traffic light at Englewood is boldly jutting about 10 feet into the roadway.
Making matters worse the land is not vacant: It is home to a sizable oak tree, which is rooted directly on the curb.
According to nearby residents, the situation has resulted in several accidents, especially at night when street lamps cast a dark shadow on the parcel. The lives of pedestrians are routinely in danger, they say.
"Someone is going to get killed right there eventually," said Robert McErlean, who lives on the corner of Hargold and Bloomingdale. "There have been (numerous) accidents there. And it's only a matter of time that there is one bad enough or one with someone walking down the block, trying to get around the tree."
City Department of Transportation (DOT) and city Parks Department officials have been unable to correct the problem – although the agencies both promised late last week that measures would soon be taken, including removal of the oak.
The situation began five years ago when McErlean, a developer who estimates that he has erected nearly 500 homes on Staten Island in the past two decades, began building a home for himself and his family.
"I've never seen so many (issues) come from one project," he admitted.
When filing for construction permits, McErlean says that he was told he had to cut five to 10 feet off of his property along Bloomingdale and install a curb because of a long-awaited street-widening plan for the roadway.
McErlean redesigned his blueprints and cut the property accordingly.
Unfortunately, the parcel next to his, which at the time had two oak trees standing on it, remained the same, and the serious road hazard emerged.
Calls to the DOT and Parks by McErlean to cut down the trees and widen the road to improve safety conditions at the location have been bounced back and forth between the offices – for five years.
Recently, Parks workers arrived at the location to remove one of the two trees, which had died and begun to crack along its trunk.
As an imminent hazard to passing cars and nearby homes in the event of a strong storm, Parks had authority to remove the tree, despite its location on private property.
The second tree, however, still stands, even though it continues to threaten vehicles and pedestrians alike.
"(DOT and Parks) are not the ones that are witnessing the accidents that have happened here," said McErlean.
When reached for comment about the situation, Parks spokeswoman Meghan Lalor said that the agency would remove the second tree by the end of the month.
Additionally, DOT officials said that once that's taken care of, their agency would also act.
"DOT coordinates with the Parks Department on projects that can affect surrounding greenery in order to properly manage their impact," said spokesman Monty Dean.
The DOT would then extend the street as part of the Bloomingdale widening project that is currently slated for 2012, according to the agency.
For McErlean, the move to make the roadway safer has taken too long.
"When I am building a house, if (an agency) tells me that I have to have something down, I have to have it ready in two weeks. I don't get to wait two years until a tree dies. I have to make it safe immediately. And they should too," he said.

Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse police have closed the 100 block of Knaul Street to investigate a shooting, Sgt. Thomas Connellan said.
About a dozen patrol cars are at the scene, on the same block where 22-year-old Karon Cole was killed last week. Cole was shot to death July 16. His memorial still stands, where police have taped off following Sunday's shooting.
Last week, police were called to the same block of Knaul Street, near Schiller Park, where they found a brown four-door vehicle parked in front of 107 Knaul St. with a bullet hole in the left part of the rear window. No arrests have been made in Cole's murder and police have said the investigation is ongoing.
Reporter Jeff Stein is on the scene. Here is a link to the updated story: Woman memoralizing Karon Cole shot Sunday afternoon on Knaul Street.

They did it to the protector of Gotham. They did it to both an oppressive empire and a rebel alliance. Even adventuring archaeologists were not immune to the transmogrifying effects of ... LEGO!
"LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4,"Drawn and Quarterly; $34.99.Warner Brothers Interactive for Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3; $49.99; Rated E10+ (ages 10+).
And now, it's Harry Potters' turn. In Warner Brothers Interactive's "LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4," the students and faculty of Hogwart's (among other characters, human and not-so human) have been transformed into action avatars of the perennially popular plastic product. Graphics in an adventure game have seldom been more realistic. Well, realistic in the sense that everyone looks like a genuine LEGO toy.
As in the other iterations in the LEGOverse, one can relive past events in the characters' lives, with the LEGO twist. In this case, the scenarios have been drawn from the first four Harry Potter films.
Play as Harry, Ron, Hermione and others as you master spells, mix potions, fly broomsticks, and in general have a wizard time exploring Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest and the village of Hogsmeade.
There are main adventures to complete (including the Triwizard Competition), and a ton of side-quests to discover, which increases the replay value immensely.
"LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4" is must-have fun for followers of the franchise. (LEGO or Harry Potter: take your pick.)
"Mega Man Zero Collection;"Capcom for Nintendo DS; $29.99; Rated E (all ages).
Another legendary figure (this time in the world of gaming) is also celebrating his history in a new edition of previous exploits.
Capcom's "Mega Man Zero Collection" collects all four of the Mega Man Zero games (previously released, one at a time, on the Game Boy Advance) and optimizes the gameplay and the graphics for the DS.
The four games create an overall story arc detailing the rise and fall of the evil Neo Arcadia organization, and the role of our hero's involvement. Nice back-story, but it's all ultimately unnecessary. All you really have to know is that any one of the four games is old school 2D side-scrolling action, with the emphasis on the action.
Graphics are on a par with Super Nintendo games, meaning that they look pretty awesome on Nintendo's handheld system. Gameplay is on the challenging side, even on the easiest setting. All the more reason for fans of the genre and/or character to pick it up.
Luckily, Capcom gives you the option to customize your controls to give you a fighting chance at any level of difficulty.
"Mega Man Zero Collection" is a great little blast from the past. At just over $7 a game, it's hard to find a bigger bargain for your buck.

If GOP doesn't grab the Senate this year, it might in 2012
Sean Trende of RealClearPolitics has a great analysis of the 2010 Senate races and beyond:
1. To take the ten seats they need to win the Senate, Republicans have to either run the table in every state that is D+5 or better, or make up for any misses in even bluer states. To put this in perspective, for House Republicans to pull off the same feat, they would have to pick up about 123 seats!
2. Put in this context, Senate Republicans have actually fared about as well as the House Republicans, if not somewhat better. Republicans are favored to carry almost all of the even seats or better, and have put the D+1 to D+6 seats mostly into play. They've even managed to put some of the D+7 or better seats fully into play.
3. Republicans are largely running the table in EVEN states or better, and are keeping D+1 to D+5 states competitive. The only thing keeping the Democrats from being decimated in the Senate is how few seats they hold in competitive states.
4. There are twice as many Democratic Senate seats in Republican leaning states in 2012 as in 2010 (eight); the same is true of 2014. There are seven Democrats in D+5 or worse states in 2012 and another seven in 2014. If the current GOP tsunami had hit in those years, it's likely we would see losses on a scale we've never before seen – around thirteen or fourteen Democratic Senate seats would probably be Tossups or worse. If the economy and public perceptions of the Obama Administration don't turn around in the next twenty-four months, it's possible that's where the Democrats could find themselves in 2012.

North Augustas boys basketball team has won back-to-back region titles, but, after being knocked from the playoffs at home, the Jackets are left dissatisfied.
North Augusta was defeated by Goose Creek 55-51 on Saturday. Goose Creek, who played for the 4A title a season ago, was able to do just enough to escape with the win.
Theyre a good basketball team, theyre a good program that played in the state finals last year, Al Young, North Augustas head coach, said. Theyve been through this, they know what this is all about. They did what they needed to do by playing good defense and being able to score. I dont think their scoring was overwhelming, nor the defense, but they did what they needed to do. They had a desire to win, you could see it in rebounding and on the 50/50 balls. When you play against good teams and programs, theyre going to work hard and get done what they need to get done.
North Augusta (19-6) was able to rely on athleticism and good shooting for most of the season, using a strong defense and opportunistic offense to earn home court advantage for its two playoff games.
I thought we had, for the most part, pretty exciting basketball, Young said. Weve got kids who are pretty athletic and they played with some excitement. We played well, at times, defensively. We played with a lot of desire and intensity and we did well offensively. We shot 3s, were able to run the ball and did well in transition. I thought it was a pretty exciting season for us. I thought the kids did well.
Now that the season is done, Young has to find replacements for his senior players, especially Christian Davis and Keyon West, who played major minutes for the Jackets.
Its always tough replacing any player who contributes the way those guys did, he said. We have to find somebody who will step up and do that. We feel like we have kids in our program who will step up and do that. Hopefully theyll have a good summer and offseason and come back to replace those guys.
Returning for North Augusta is a dynamic core of players, led by All-State selection Chandler Harrison.
Weve got to go even harder next year, Harrison said on replacing West and Davis. Its going to be hard to replace those guys, they did a lot for this team. Im starting to work for next season now. We want that ring. Were trying to make it all the way next year.
The senior class for the Jackets concluded their careers with back-to-back region titles, which is Davis biggest accomplishment.
I am most proud that we won region for a second time in a row, he said. Im going to miss just battling every night with my boys at practice every night and becoming a team on the road games and at the Christmas Tournament.
Young already has a goal in mind for his team next season, a three-peat in the region.
That will be our goal, he said. The good thing is that we have a lot of guys coming back with experience and they will have another year of growth and understanding in the system. Hopefully they work very hard in the summer and offseason, trying to understand what your goals are and what it will take to make it happen.

Archimedean solid
There are 13 Archimedean solids. Although they are named after their discoverer, the first surviving record of them is in the fifth book of the Collection of Pappus of Alexandria. The duals of the Archimedean solids (made by replacing each face with a vertex, and each vertex with a face) are commonly known as Catalan solids. Apart from the Platonic and Archimedean solids, the only other convex uniform polyhedra with regular faces are prisms and antiprisms. This was shown by Johannes Kepler, who also gave the names generally used for the Archimedean solids. See also Johnson solids.
A chemical Archimedean solidIn 2011, chemists announced that they had made a molecular sized version of the truncated octahedron. The tiny, hollow structure serves as a cage, capable of enclosing a wide variety of ions and molecules in a stable configuration. It also helps in the synthesis of substances that wouldn't otherwise form.
Michael Ward of New York University, and colleagues, built their cage, which has eight hexagonal and six square faces, by combining two types of carefully-designed molecular "tiles", one made of chemical groups known as guanidiniums, the other ringed by sulfonate groups. These were assembled into the truncated octahedron with the formation 72 hydrogen bonds.1

There is no compelling reason to move the trial of five police officers accused in the Danziger Bridge shooting case outside of New Orleans, federal prosecutors argued in a brief filed yesterday.
In a recent motion to change the venue for the case, set for trial next month, defense attorneys failed to show that an impartial jury cannot be picked from the diverse residents of southeastern Louisiana, wrote prosecutors Barbara "Bobbi" Bernstein and Theodore Carter.
Last week, defense attorneys argued that the extensive news media coverage of the case has been so prejudicial that a fair jury can't be selected locally. Negative media coverage of the case, as well as other trials of New Orleans police officers and the NOPD in general, has polluted the jury pool, they wrote.
The trial of five of the six Danziger defendants is scheduled to begin June 13. Those defendants are Sgt. Arthur Kaufman, Sgt. Kenneth Bowen, Sgt. Robert Gisevius, officer Anthony Villavaso and former officer Robert Faulcon. Retired Sgt. Gerard Dugue is slated to be tried separately in the fall.
Four officers are accused of shooting six civilians on the bridge after Hurricane Katrina, killing two of them. The officers face additional charges for allegedly participating in a cover-up.
Five former NOPD officers have pleaded guilty in the case, saying they participated in a cover-up of an unjustified shooting. Defense attorneys argued that coverage of these guilty pleas was prejudicial to the defendants.
But prosecutors countered that although the guilty pleas last year received a great deal of coverage, the coverage has been balanced, and it has included the arguments of defense attorneys and the assertions of innocence of the officers under investigation.
Defense attorneys cited the convictions of New Orleans police officers in two recent trials as proof that the Danziger officers won't receive a fair trial. But prosecutors noted that in the most well-publicized trial, the shooting and burning of Henry Glover after Katrina, a jury acquitted two officers.
Prosecutors also cited a story in The Times-Picayune based on interviews with four jurors in the Glover case, saying it showed that the jurors weren't biased.
"The article relays the jurors' accounts of meticulously poring through the evidence and working through each count individually," prosecutors wrote. "In fact, the article suggests that the jurors, after hearing the evidence, believed that the acquitted officers were probably guilty, but they nevertheless acquitted because they 'had questions' and 'couldn't convict someone with these questions in mind.'"

BISMARCK North Dakota's upland game hunting season is scheduled for a Sept. 10 opener.
What isn't yet known is how many birds hunters can expect to find on the landscape.
Population estimates will be made following the completion of annual brood surveys conducted by the N.D. Game and Fish Department.
Article Photos
Kim Fundingsland/MDN - - The fall hunting seasons are fast approaching. The upland game season is scheduled to open Sept. 10. Surveys are currently under way to help determine hatching success for pheasants, grouse and partridge.
"We're just getting started with those," said Stan Kohn, Game and Fish upland game biologist, this past week. "We have some crowing count numbers for the pheasants but probably won't have any numbers on grouse and partridge until mid-August at the earliest. By then we'd probably have enough information to see if a pattern is developing."
Early morning brood surveys conducted by Game and Fish don't reveal everything, but they are considered a reasonably reliable indicator of hatching success and survival. Some years vegetation is so high that sighting broods of young birds is difficult. This is one of those years in much of the state.
"The cover is just about as good as I've ever seen it. Some of the clover is four to five feet high," Kohn said. "Young birds that made it through the first couple of weeks, well, it should be pretty good for them. We have seen a few pheasant broods but it is far too early to make a call yet."
Past trends
Pheasant numbers throughout the state have been on the decline for three years running. Kohn said it's not likely the number will climb this year, unless there is a surprise in the amount of young birds that reach flight stage. Working against young chicks was the fact that much of the state was very wet during the traditional peak of the hatch.
"That's a key factor," Kohn said. "With rain you get cold temperatures too. It was wet pretty consistent through June. My gut feeling is I'd rather have it dry than wet, no matter what the temperature. A good thing is we didn't really have any major swaths of hail that lasted for any length of time. Hail can be really tough on young birds."
Hungarian partridge are known to struggle during wet weather. Sharp-tailed grouse might also have been affected. Kohn said he wouldn't be at all surprised if counts for both species were down when the final numbers are tallied.
"It's a little early yet to say," Kohn said. "The numbers in the fall is all about what's produced during the spring."
Seasons for prairie chickens and sage grouse will again be closed this fall. The limited prairie chicken season closed last year due to declining numbers on two huntable areas in eastern North Dakota. Game and Fish may have to look at a re-stocking effort to maintain the prairie chickens.
North Dakota's sage grouse season closed three years ago because of low numbers. To date the birds are struggling to survive. However, unlike the state's prairie chickens, they have fairly good connectivity to sage grouse populations in nearby Montana and Wyoming, leaving some hope for future population growth. Sage grouse are found in extreme southwest North Dakota, which is on the outer edge of the bird's historic range.

He entered the Order of the Conventual Franciscans in the Province of St. Nicholas (Bari), of which he was later appointed provincial. His experience as a missionary in Moldavia, Wallachia, and Transylvania, as Prefect Apostolic of Hungary, and as visitor general of the Franciscan missions in Russia led him to the composition of a work which was approved by the general of the order in 1642, and is dedicated to Cardinal Barberini "Missionarius apostolicus a Sacra Congregatione de Propaganda Fide instructus quomodo debeat inter haereticos vivere, pravitates eorum convincere, et in fide catholica proficere per Germaniam, Poloniam, Ungariam, et per omnes partes ubi vigent blasphemiae lutheranae" (Bologna, 1644).
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Brunswick held off a late Strongsville rally on Jan. 13 and earned a 58-53 victory in Northeast Ohio Conference Valley Division play, boosting its record to 10-1 on the year.
With 1:31 left and down 51-44, Strongsville began fouling to send Brunswick to the charity stripe. It was guard Ryan Badowski who calmly knocked down nine out of ten free throws down the stretch to seal the game for the Blue Devils.
"(Badowski) is the guy you want there, he's got a lot of confidence in his ability," said Brunswick head coach Joe Mackey. "In that situation, not only do we want the ball in his hands, he wants the ball in his hands."
Badowski finished with a game-high 22 points (12 of 14 from the line), with his other points coming on a couple three-pointers and two strong takes to the rim. Fellow sophomore Zach Parker added 12.
The 6-foot-2-inch Parker found himself open on a few fast breaks in the first half that led to slam dunks, or in one case a missed dunk and a technical foul for hanging on the rim.
Though they entered the fourth quarter down by ten points, the Mustangs relentless effort in the rivalry game had them down only five with minutes left. But they would come no closer.
"What we were able to do down ten when it could have become 20, instead we got it back to four or five points, that shows the work and effort of our kids," said Strongsville head coach Joe Lynch. "But we've got to take better care of the basketball over the course of the game."
Jake Even and Sean Alexander led Strongsville with 12 points each. Kyle Meehan scored 11.
From early on, the size advantage Brunswick had over Strongsville was noticeable. Mackey gave 6-foot-6-inch junior Taylor Armagost his first start of the season and he responded by blocking at least six shots and scoring ten points.
"With a rivalry game it's always going to be tough, but we just had to come out and execute," said Armagost. His long reach made for a tough night in the paint for Mustang scorers.
"(Armagost) was a presence in there, even when we did penetrate with our guards, when a big guy like that steps us, it changes your shot," Lynch said.
Though he didn't score in the second half, Armagost made defensive stops that were the difference in a close fourth quarter.
"He really clogged things up in the middle and gave us a nice scoring option in the first half when we were struggling to find points," Mackey said.
Strongsville drops to 2-7 on the season and will next play at Medina on Jan. 20. Brunswick beat Stow on Jan. 17 and takes on the Plain Dealer's top-ranked team in the area, the Mentor Cardinals, on Jan. 20.
"We're a little bit ahead of where people thought we'd be, but I think we can get a lot better in the next few weeks," Mackey said.

Remember the 12/12/12 concert and the hundreds of millions it raised? That money is being doled out throughout New York and New Jersey.
The Korean American Sandy Relief Committee of New Jersey announced today that it was awarded $75,0000. Of that sum, $50,000 is headed to Holy Name Medical Center for medical services.
The money is meant to provide primary care, mental health care and lab work, such as blood tests, and will be targeted to the uninsured victims of Hurricane Sandy.
"We are so happy to be able to provide much needed health exams for Sandy victims," Philip Whang, a Holy Name psychiatrist, said in a press release. "They are the most vulnerable group of people, with economic, language and cultural barriers to requesting and receiving help. I look forward to assisting them toward their full recovery back to a normal life."
The remaining $25,000 will be used for FEMA counseling and enrollment assistance services, which will be administered by a group of staff at the Korean Community Center in Englewood.

If the last few nights are any indication, Gibney is far from content with the milestone.
On Tuesday, Gibney scored 18 points (an off-night by his standards) in a win over Hasbrouck Heights. Then, on Thursday night, Gibney added 24 more points in an 88-56 victory over Saddle Brook.
Gibney, who is averaging 24.4 points per game, now has 2,060 career points heading into Friday's showdown at Pascack Hills. His Wood-Ridge team also has regular season games scheduled against Wallington (Feb. 19) and Weehawken (Feb. 21) before the start of the state playoffs.
While Gibney continues to climb further up the all-time county leader board, there's a chance he could have some company in the exclusive club of 2,000-point scorers in Bergen County
Teammate Gary Whritenour is at 1,834 points for Wood-Ridge. Whritenour, who is averaging 19.1 points per game, has taken his already lofty scoring production to a high level in February. Over his past five games, the senior guard has averaged 25.4 points per game, highlighted by a pair of 33-point performances vs. Becton and Saddle Brook.
Bergen County's 2,000-point scorers
1. Les Cason, East Rutherford (1971): 2,871
2. Kent Culuko, Mahwah (1991): 2,780
3. Pat Sullivan, Bogota (1990): 2,546
4. Corey Raji, Westwood (2007): 2,497
5. Bill Willoughby, Englewood (1975): 2,371
6. Ahmad Hassan, Leonia (2007): 2,237
7. John Blackgrove, Pascack Valley (2001): 2,237
8. Tom Sienkiewicz, Becton (1977): 2,202
9. Sandy Burgos, Fort Lee (2010): 2,121
10. Tom Calabrese, Cliffside Park (1974): 2,088

Based on the Census Bureau's population projections from 2005, Alabama's meager growth pattern had the state on the path toward dropping from seven to six members in the U.S. House. I reported the gloomy projection April of that year, along with some speculation about how politically charged it would be to redraw the six remaining districts. If there are seven incumbents who all want to keep their job, you can imagine the skirmishes.
But I recently found an analysis from POLIDATA in Virginia which used 2006 population figures and projected Alabama holding steady at seven seats.
One factor in the change appears to be that between 2005 and 2006, Alabama's population had the 18th highest growth rate in the country, up 50,700 people, or 1.1 percent, according to the Census Bureau. The other factor, obviously, is the population trends in the other states also on the bubble.
Next month the Census Bureau will release July 2007 population figures by state, so we'll revisit Alabama's situation then.

Bear with me as I torture you with this latest account of my
"Lose 10 Pounds a Month to Fit into my Ski Clothes saga."
Today I weighed in at 218, down 50 pounds from May 8 and two pounds below my October 1 goal of 220.
On September 1 I had weighed in at 224.25, which was 5.75 pounds below my August goal and leaving me with just 4.25 pounds to lose in September.
Those 4.25 pounds were the hardest of my journey. Not sure why but I think because I had such success the first four months, I let my guard down and exercised a little less and ate a little more than I should have. Also, I'm getting closer to my idea weight, which means I have a smaller percentage of body fat to lose.
Towards the end of September, I was worried that I wasn't going to hit the 220 mark so I spent the last couple of days doing extra time on the bicycle and the elliptical. Yesterday I was pushed below the 220 mark with the help of dental implant surgery– I wasn't able to eat solid food.
Now that I'm over my September lull in weight lost, I know I've
got to kick it into high gear for October. Tonight I did 90 minutes on the elliptical

Results from analyses of the Michigan Spectral Catalogue, Vols. 1--4 plus some early results from Volume 5, are presented. This latest volume, of about 33,000 stars, will extend the MK classification of the Henry Draper stars northward from $\delta = -12^{\circ}$ to a declination of $\delta = +5^{\circ}$. IIaO photographic plates were used with the combined $4^{\circ} + 6^{\circ}$ prisms on the Michigan Curtis Schmidt telescope at CTIO to produce well-widened (0.8mm) spectra with an original dispersion of 108 \AA/mm and resolution of 2 \AA. The 150,000 stars analysed have all been visually classified by Houk. Psuedo-HR diagrams were constructed using our spectral types to convert to visual absolute magnitudes, with temperature types comprising the abscissa. The HD stars for which photoelectric apparent magnitudes are available, will be used to construct HR diagrams for stars within 25, 50, and 100 parsecs from the sun. Lists of the HD stars within these volumes of space will be available, and a discussion of completeness will be included.

JACKSON, MI – Beginning Jan. 1, Michael Klaeren will be the chief judge of the Jackson County District Court.
Klaeren takes the place of District Judge R. Darryl Mazur, who has been the head judge for eight years.
Thomas Wilson will continue as chief judge of the county's circuit and probate courts, a job he has done since 2011, the Michigan Supreme Court announced earlier this year.
Chief judges serve two-year terms and are responsible for overseeing courts' internal operations, finances, case management, work assignments and more, according to the high court.
Klaeren has a good understanding of what is expected of the position and the "temperament to make it work," said Mazur, who supported Klaeren for the job.
Mazur said he wanted to see through the process of investigating and terminating James Justin, a former judge. The Supreme Court removed Justin from the bench in January 2012 for widespread misconduct. Mazur now is ready to step aside, he said.
Klaeren, who was out of the office this week, has been a judge since 2007. Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm appointed him to replace retired Judge Charles Falahee Jr.
He graduated from Kalamazoo College in 1977 and earned his law degree from the University of Toledo in 1980. Before he became a judge, he was a partner in a Jackson firm and specialized in workers' compensation defense.
As a judge, he heads the Jackson County Mental Health Court, which aims to improve public safety, reduce recidivism and enhance the quality of life among mentally ill defendants.
