Australian Story
The Slam Part Two - Transcript
PROGRAM TRANSCRIPT: Monday, 15 October , 2012
CAROLINE JONES, PRESENTER: Tonight, the conclusion of our story about tennis legend Rod Laver. Its 50 years since the Rockhampton Rocket won his first Grand Slam, that's the Australian, French, Wimbledon and US titles all in one year. The Holy Grail of tennis. He went on to establish a record that remains unsurpassed and may well stand forever. His sterling qualities on court are much admired by today's top players, and have been echoed in his personal life, as you'll see tonight. We're starting with a quick recap.
(Last week)
ROGER FEDERER, WORLD NUMBER ONE: What I see the most when I see video of Rod Laver was how easy he made it look. He embodies everything a true champion is really.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: The champions of today, they can sense that bit of humility, strength of humility if you like. Rods a very private person. Its interesting that he has created such an aura about himself.
BETTY LAVER, SISTER IN LAW: Rod was actually born into a tennis family.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: In 1962 Rod become only the second player in history to win the four Grand Slam tournaments in one year.
ROD LAVER: But I never felt that I was the best, you know, I just happened to have a good year.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: There was always debate about who was better, the professionals or the amateurs, but it could never be proved because they couldnt play each other.
ROD LAVER: You know I knew that the world was going to change when I turned pro. It was a pressure, pressure time.
(The Slam Part 2)
(Excerpt from archival News of the Day piece 'Big name performers in pro tennis' plays)
PETER ROBERTS, COMMENTATOR: Professional tennis comes to New York as the games top players carry on their travelling tournament for $35,000 first prize money.
(End of excerpt)
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: In 1963 when Rod turned pro, he spent two very tough years being beaten consistently by Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall. Im sure Rod mustve felt at times that he may have made a mistake by turning professional.
KEN ROSEWALL, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: To begin with he had a hard time. Because, you know those first let's say 15 matches or 20 matches in Australia, you know, Rod didnt win too many.
ROD LAVER: I guess your ego is a little high after having been successful at Davis Cup and Grand Slams and then coming into the pro ranks and getting beaten up, pretty soundly via both Ken and Lew and you think: 'put me in my place havent they'. But I felt like I could improve and then they said you know well youre playing alright. You know just tighten up everything. And so its not like theyre against me. Theyre with me because if we play a great match then the public are gonna say Hey this is a good idea. Im glad he turned pro.
FRANK SEDGMAN, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: Once he settled down into the routine of the pro tennis, he really became a much, much better player and for a few years there that he was unbeatable.
KEN ROSEWALL, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: It was a very friendly group, even though we were very competitive. Looking back on those days we did travel a lot. We were kind of like the gypsies of the tennis world, and we helped to expose the world of tennis to a lot of countries.
FRANK SEDGMAN, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: We were on the tour when Rod met Mary. He was besotted by Mary who was a bit older than him you know.
ROD LAVER: We were doing a promotion at the Jack Kramer Tennis Club. She was sitting in the clubhouse with some different people and so we all sat down and chatted and you know we liked each other. And you know I guess she got me talking which not very many people do.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: She came back and she told me that she had just gone out and just had a wonderful time with the worlds greatest tennis player and I said 'Oh you were out with Pancho Gonzales' and she said 'No, hes an Australian. His name is Rod Laver and OK Mom.
ROD LAVER: She was my first true love, yeah. Back in those years I wasnt too keen on worrying about women. Mary was nine or 10 years older than I was and that was not a big item for me. I think there were some of the players were of the opinion that that age was a factor, that maybe I should give some more thought to, but to me it didnt seem to matter.
LOIS WISE, SISTER: You could see that she just loved Rodney and Rodney loved her and you dont expect anything else. You just embrace that.
ROD LAVER: We were probably 18 months before we got married. All of the pros were there. I think they were surprised that Id get married, but I think they were happy for me. We came out of the church they had you know crossed racquets as we were going underneath. It was a nice touch, it was wonderful that they were involved.
ANN MARIE BENNET, STEP DAUGHTER: There was some talk that Rod was going to be marrying an older woman. She was not an Australian woman. She was a divorcee. She had three children. And at the time for them, they didnt care. It did not matter to them. They were in love, they wanted to get married, they wanted to start their life, and it really wasnt anybody elses business but their own. I dont know what my mother really knew about Australia before she met Rod. It was a little bit of a culture shock for her I think at the time, you know, with Rod being from Rocky. And things were a lot different from the urban city life that she had always led in California.
ROD LAVER: You know, she didnt like our mosquitoes in Gladstone, I know that. But theres lots of things that she enjoyed. She enjoyed some of the fishing we did, the mud crab hunting, and she liked eating them anyway.
BETTY LAVER, SISTER IN LAW: Once he married Mary he moved to America and that was, hes been based over there ever since.
LOIS WISE, SISTER: Rodney hadnt lived at home since hes been 15. But then you know, he had this base and a whole new family and it was lovely. He wasnt a sort of wandering minstrel anymore. He had roots.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: He just slid right in there and was just, it was just a natural fit having him there. He was gone a lot of the time, but when he came home it was just sort of a natural, a natural fit.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: In the late 60s open tennis finally caught on. And one by one the Grand Slams gave in and became open, so the professionals and amateurs could play together. The last bastion of amateur tennis decided to go open, and finally Wimbledon opens its doors to amateurs and professionals. The following year, 1969, was the first full year of open tennis.
ROD LAVER: 1969 was a great year. Mary called me from Newport Beach and said that she was pregnant and was expecting in early September. And I was on to play in the first group of tournaments that were open. Yes well the season started in Brisbane. The Australian Open was the beginning of the Grand Slam year. In the semi final I had Tony Roche whos another leftie. I had trouble with lefties.
TONY ROCHE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: I was feeling pretty confident and we got involved in a dogfight and a hell of a long match. And in those days at two sets to one you could take a break and go in and shower. The old Brisbane locker rooms you were all in the showers together so there werent separate cubicles, so Im standing there alongside Rod having a shower with Rod. And he looked buggered. He looked out of it and I thought Ive got this little guy. Went out and Rod being the great champion that he is managed to get out of it and went on and won it.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: So Rod went on to win the Australian Open and that put him in a position to win his second Grand Slam.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: And so there was always in the back of your mind then that could he do another Slam. He was the only person who could do a slam now. Then he went on and played in the French Open.
KEN ROSEWALL, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: Id played well in the 69 French and I thought I might be in with a shot in the final. But Rod was the kind of player that when he was on he was tough to handle. You know if he set his mind to it and was playing well, he was hard to beat.
ROD LAVER: As it as it turned out I probably played the best clay court match of my entire life.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: Now were going 'oh, thats two, OK'. Now Wimbledons coming up and Moms getting a bit more nervous. The pregnancy is going well. Rods excited to go to Wimbledon. Mom decided to go with him, over there.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: Rod and I played in the final of Wimbledon that year, that was the third leg of his Grand Slam. He just had a little bit more. He was able to come up with that extra shot and thats all it takes. One extra shot at just at the right time and youve swung the pendulum you know in your favour. And I felt that Rod could do that and it didnt surprise me when he did. He beat me in four sets. To win the Grand that year, Rocket had to beat Rochey in the final of the US Open.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: Now everybody is very on edge. Theyre excited that could Rod do this, is he going to win another slam, what about the baby, but the babys coming. Oh, oh, Rick is due the day of the final of the US Open. Mum can 't be - she cant be in New York. Shes at home watching this tournament going please wait baby. Daddys working.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: Conditions were very slippery out there.
ROD LAVER: The final was delayed a couple of days because of a rainstorm that went through. But when we went out there and started playing I was sliding all over the court. Tony was doing fine, and he ended up winning the first set.
TONY ROCHE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: In any final if you win the first set you feel like you know youre well on the way. But you know of all the players I think Rod had the ability to get out of unbelievable tough situations. And he just had just the ability to keep hitting; he had such great belief in his game.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: Sometimes I closed my eyes, I couldnt watch. And then all of a sudden he stopped, and I went 'what are you doing?' And he stopped and he got off to the side of the court and changed his shoes.
ROD LAVER: I put spikes on and I became a lot more confident.
TONY ROCHE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: He believed in the long run if he kept going for his shots they were going to start to turn around and go in. And this enabled him to get out of so many tough situations.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: Were getting near and I go 'oh-my-God were at matchpoint, were at match point, is he gonna do it, is he gonna do it?'
ROD LAVER: I think match point was my serving and I hit a volley across court, deep into the corner. And you know Tony was over there and then slipped over and was sliding all over. So then I knew it was over. And I was I guess relieved and happy all at one time.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: And I remember him running over and jumping over the net, which was so unlike him to do. But who wouldnt. Youve just won your second Grand Slam.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: This was the first full Grand Slam in the Open era, and this is what Federer, Djokovic and all the other greats are trying to emulate today.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: He wins the slam, he comes home and three weeks later, Rick. Just the best present he gave his parents I think, was to come three weeks late (laughs) so they could all be together for the birth of him.
RICK LAVER, SON: I ended up coming just after and so it worked out for everyone!
ROD LAVER: I really didnt give any thought to you, know how, you raise a child. You know I was a nomad you know for so many years, but I just knew that we were going to do fine.
RICK LAVER,SON: When I was growing up and my dad was playing tennis he had to travel and he was on tour. And his presence wasnt always there, and, it was missed. My mum has a unique business sense. And Rod, being a great tennis player, was not necessarily the best at negotiations. Mary took all of that over and she made some very wise decisions business wise to invest Rods money and make it double and triple. And the two of them matched up nicely.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: Rod being the first person to win the slam twice became a celebrity in his own right now and a bigger celebrity here in the United States. Suddenly now Im aware of, you know, theyre going out because theyre meeting Bill Cosby for dinner. Or Charlton Heston came to our home one night for dinner. So many celebrities that they became involved with.
JOHN NEWCOMBE, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: In the first half of the 70s Rod won a heck of a lot of tennis matches. But he never did that great in the slams again. Rod was around 36 years of age and hed had enough. Hed done very well out of the game, and he retired from the full-time circuit.
(Excerpt from 'Sportsnight', ABC TV plays)
SPORTSNIGHT PRESENTER: This is the home of tycoons, of movie stars. The home of success, Rod Laver, a skinny kid from Rockhampton fits in well.
(Excerpt ends)
QUENTIN HULL, ABC SPORTS JOURNALIST: After he retired Rod spent the next couple of decades enjoying his family and playing charity and corporate matches and we didnt hear much of him.
(Excerpt from 'Sportsnight', ABC TV plays)
ROD LAVER: I dont have any great feeling of becoming a very rich person, I just like to be happy. And we have son, five, that wed like to spend more time with and if we can afford to go on some holidays over to Australia and back and feel, no real pinch then thats the way Id like to do it.
(Excerpt ends)
QUENTIN HULL, ABC SPORTS JOURNALIST: Then in 1998, just a week or two before his 60th birthday, Rod was interviewed for a sports documentary.
(Excerpt from ESPN Documentary plays)
ALEX GIBNEY: What part of Australia did you grow up?
ROD LAVER: Im Queensland, just north of Brisbane, a place called Rockhampton. Where its hot. Thats where the crows fly backwards just to keep the dust out of their eyes (laughs).
(End of excerpt)
ALEX GIBNEY, DOCUMENTARY-MAKER: And at some point in the interview, you know, Rod seemed a bit off. He would say things, odd words that seemed completely out of context with other words,
ROD LAVER: The next thing I felt like my leg - I couldnt feel my leg and I couldnt feel my arm.
ALEX GIBNEY, DOCUMENTARY-MAKER: I could tell that something very wrong was happening. Luckily, we were in Westwood, California which is right around the corner from the UCLA (University of California at LA) Medical Centre and they got him there very quickly.
(Excerpt from news story on Rod Laver's stroke plays)
NEWS PRESENTER: One of the greatest tennis players of all time, Australias Rod Laver is in a Los Angeles hospital recovering from a stroke.
(Excerpt ends)
ALEX GIBNEY, DOCUMENTARY-MAKER: They were checking his mental faculties and he apparently asked Rod, he said 'what is your name?' And Rod sort of slurred out 'Rod Laver' and he said "Well, what is your occupation?" And Rod kind of slurred out 'tennis player'. And then there was a pause and apparently he tugged on the attending physician's jacket, he said 'I used to be a fairly good tennis player'. Indeed he was.
(Excerpt from news story on Rod Laver's stroke plays)
DOCTOR: There has been no sign of any additional bleeding since he came into the hospital.
(End excerpt)
RICK LAVER, SON: It ended up being a fairly substantial stroke. It was a bleeding haemorrhage in the brain and it was, it was slowly but surely seeping in.
(Excerpt from news piece on Rod Laver's stroke plays)
PAT RAFTER, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: All of a sudden someone came out and said 'Oh, Rockets just had a stroke'. Wow it just sends a real shiver down your spine, just to think about that, it was incredible.
(End Excerpt)
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: He went to talk to us and it was just gibberish, it was frightening.
(Excerpt from story on Rod Laver's stroke plays)
MARY LAVER, WIFE: I think the hardest part was the day they had taken him back into the ICU and that was like being, oooh, hit in the head with a brick bat.
(End excerpt)
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: My mum is a very strong person. But when it came to this stroke that really, really hit her hard. She just kept encouraging Rod, 'youre gonna be OK, you know, were gonna get through this, youre gonna be fine'. And then away from Rod thats, she would just break down. It was difficult for her.
(Excerpt from story on Rod Laver's stroke plays)
MARY LAVER: We thought wed won it you know. And then all of a sudden, we hadnt. And that was hard.
(End excerpt)
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: That that same determination that made him the tennis player that he was, was that he had that determination and he was not gonna let the stroke keep him down. He fought, and he fought with everything he had, like he does with everything in his life.
RICK LAVER, SON: He was the most motivated person I think probably the hospital had seen in quite some time. He found himself getting better quicker than they thought.
BETTY LAVER, SISTER IN LAW: He ended up by coming back about 98 per cent. And a lot of it because of his physical condition at the time and the fact that he was so determined to get there.
ROD LAVER: My recovery wouldnt, wouldnt have been, you know, as quick if it hadnt have been for Mary and for Ann and for Rick and you know the other boys.
RICK LAVER, SON: Rod and Mary have had a long marriage. And theyve balanced each other well over the years, Mary with her keen mind, intellect and Rod obviously with his great tennis abilities.
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: They just celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary. My mothers 84 years old now, or I should say 84 years young. Her health started to decline about Id say about seven years ago. She was stricken with some breast cancer and other health issues have ensued over the years. As the years have progressed, shes needed more and more care and Rod now is pretty much taken over the role - well he is her caregiver. His priority is to his wife and to make sure that shes comfortable. We as a family are getting a little concerned that its getting to be too much. I am afraid that the caregiver is going to need a caregiver if he doesnt get some more help in here soon.
RICK LAVER, SON: They get on each others nerves every once in a while. And Mary being very headstrong and Rod trying to be the easy-go-lucky guy, sometimes it doesnt, doesnt work out very well for Rod sometimes (laughs). Mary usually gets her way.
ROD LAVER: Its thrilling to have a little grand-daughter. And maybe shes not little any longer at 11. You know, she loves tennis. She enjoys playing the game.
RICK LAVER, SON: Riley last week at school had to present an heirloom, and she decided that one of Rods trophies was going to be a good heirloom to bring in. So Sue, my wife, asked Rod Hey can we borrow one of your trophies? One of your Wimbledon trophies, cause thats the big one.' And then he asked so what year? And not many people can answer that (laughs). Not many people have options to say what year do you want?
ANN MARIE BENNETT, STEP DAUGHTER: If someone asked Rod where are you living? He says I live in Carlsbad, California. But I think in his heart, home is Australia. And home will always be Australia to him.
ROD LAVER: I never got back to Australia as much as I wouldve liked. With us having a family over here, it was hard to get away.
RICK LAVER, SON: So the last time we were in Australia, the entire family got together. And we were able to see the Rod Laver Arena for the first time and it was truly bigger than life. It was it was one of the honours that normally you dont get while youre alive, and he was shocked actually. It stunned him a little bit.
ROGER FEDERER, WORLD NUMBER ONE: One of the great honours I think for Rod Laver was that he got the stadium at the Australian Open named after him. That makes him obviously one of the greatest legends we have in the game. Not only because of that honour but just because he embodies everything a true, you know, sort of a true champion is really.
ROD LAVER: Knowing that, you know, the Rod Laver Arena is standing up there in lights. Its the crowning jewel of my whole career. And thats the one thing that Im so proud of.
LOIS WISE, SISTER: When they named the stadium Rod Laver Arena he said to me Mum and Dad would have liked that, wouldnt he? Its true, they would have been so proud.
ASHLEY COOPER, FORMER TENNIS CHAMPION: Rod has achieved what I don't think will ever be achieved again. Maybe once, but certainly not twice, to win the Grand Slams. He's also achieved it in such a self effacing, quiet sort of a way, and let his racquet do the talking on the court.
ROGER FEDERER, WORLD NUMBER ONE: Its still so nice to see him around the game because of course it would be very understandable if he would just stay home and do his thing. But he does show up to many of the tournaments from time to time and is generally very interested in todays generation of tennis players as well.
ROD LAVER: Its amazing when I look back at where I came from, you know, in Rockhampton, the things that have happened in my life. Yes its been in some ways hard work but its been opportunities that were given to me and I took them and I was successful in getting through it. So when I look back at my whole career it amazes me that, you know, Ive done so well in life.
Mary Laver was not well enough to be interviewed for Australian Story.
But in a statement she said: through ups and downs and wins and losses, the love and joy of family and dear friends have made our lives a most memorable and incredible journey.

Viral Photo Shows Drive-Thru Workers' Touching Moment of Compassion
Lifestyle| | By Lauren Boudreau
When it was her turn to approach the window, the employees explained what was going on. As it turned out, the woman's 37-year-old husband passed away the night before. Evan Freeman, Dutch Bros. employee, told Tucson News Now that he knew what he had to do. "And as soon as she said that, I was like, 'There's nothing more you need to say. We got this. We're going to do what we do every time we get someone who's in pain or hurt. We're going to give them our love.'" Freeman and another employee, Pierce Dunn, offered the woman free coffee, reached out their hands, and prayed with her. The moment might have gone unnoticed if Danner didn't post the photo to Facebook, explaining the situation. The post has been shared over 125,000 times. It even got the attention of owner Jessica Chudek, who said, "I thought, 'That's great our company does that and we can show love out the window that way.' I started studying it a little more and I said, 'Wait, that's Evan and Pierce! That's my stand, those are my kids!' So it just brought me to tears right then." Freeman and Dunn said the woman was extremely grateful for their kindness and generosity, but Chudek wasn't surprised. "We encourage them (employees) to pour love out of that window in whatever way is comfortable for them," she told the The Colombian. "I don't think this was a religious thing. It was just something this woman needed at that time." Freeman and Dunn told the woman was welcome to come back and pray anytime.
Snapped this picture while waiting in line at the Dutch Bros on 138th Avenue today. Turns out the young lady in line… Posted by Barbara Danner on Saturday, March 19, 2016

Back in early September we posted about how the LG V20 would not be coming to the UK.
We have since been working to source a UK compatible version of the LG V20. One thing that is very important to us is ensuring support for our customers over the lifespan of the phone.
Today marks an update and conclusion in this process.
Our original intentions were to import the LG V20 from Europe. We did with this last year with the V10, with supply networks for regular stock and support for service issues.
Sadly, LG have now confirmed to us that they are not launching the V20 anywhere in Europe. Even with high interest and demand, especially following the Samsung Galaxy Note7 recall, they are not planning to reconsider this decision.
Could Clove import from outside Europe?
The LG V20 has been launched in other regions of the world, notably Korea and the USA. We can potentially source from these areas, however are not prepared to do so at this time.
This decision has been made primarily due to being unable to provide efficient after-sales service on these items. Keeping a regular supply, maintaining quality control and ensuring network compatibility are also issues.
As smartphone users ourselves we see the appeal of the V20. We have also clearly stated to LG just how many customers have expressed interest in the handset. It is easily one of our most requested. Ever. Even after providing this information, and pledging a commitment to a volume of handsets, LG remain firm that they do not wish to launch the V20 in Europe at this time.
As such you may wish to consider your options. There are a great range of handsets available SIM free from www.clove.co.uk.

The incumbent president of the Cameroon Football Federation, FECAFOOT, Iya Mohamed who for the past 10 days was remanded in custody at the State Defence Secretariat was Wednesday June 19 ferried to the Kondengui Central Prison in Yaounde.
The transfer of Iya Mohamed who has also been the General Manager of the Cameroon Cotton Development Company, SODECOTON, for over three decades was effected after he appeared before the chief judge of the Special Criminal Court Wednesday. Exchanges between Mr Iya and the judge took place in the presence of his lawyers and began around 6pm; though the SODECOTON number one was reportedly at the court yard about five hours ahead of time. The court charged Iya Mohamed for misappropriation of public funds to the detriment of the Cameroon Cotton Development Company and straightway he was remanded in custody at the Kondengui prison in Yaoundé alongside some of his colleagues. The judge is left with six months to complete the preliminary investigation and it is only after this that the trial may be held, according to the laws creating the Special Criminal Court. Iya Mohamed was first arrested on June 10 by the police and ferried to the State Defence Secretariat while he was returning from Togo where he went to attend the Indomitable Lions World Cup qualifier against the Sparrow Hawks in Lome on June 9. A day after, June 11, two of his aids, Mr Abdoulaye and Fouagou who are respectively the chief cashier and the secretary in charge of awarding public contracts at the Cameroon Cotton Development Company, were also apprehended and taken into custody by elements of the Maroua gendarmerie brigade. It is worth recalling that in March 2013, the Budgetary and Financial Disciplinary Council of the Supreme State Audit revealed Iya Mohamed has been found wanting of 20 managerial lapses that cost the state over FCFA 9 billion and fined him FCFA 2 million while recommending that he should not be trusted with any public office for the next seven years.

The statewide general primary and nonpartisan election will move forward today without Augusta mayoral candidate Helen Blocker-Adams.
Blocker-Adams formally withdrew from the race early Monday, Richmond County Board of Elections Executive Director Lynn Bailey said.
The move means any votes cast for her in advance or on Election Day "are considered null and shall not be counted," Bailey said.
Notices will be placed in each precinct today to inform voters that though her name is on the ballot, Blocker-Adams is no longer a candidate.
Her decision leaves four remaining mayoral candidates: Charles Cummings, state Sen. Hardie Davis, Commissioner Alvin Mason and Lori Myles.
In a four-paragraph statement, Blocker-Adams said she awakened at 3 a.m. Sunday with the realization that "I could not be an effective mayor."
"Even if I stayed in the race and won or was in a runoff, they would continue to work toward running my name into the ground, and I don't want that for
my family," the statement said.
Last week, one of Blocker-Adams' creditors provided to news media copies of three unpaid Aiken County court judgments against her from more than a decade ago exceeding $70,000.
Subsequently, The Augusta Chronicle became aware of more than 40 eviction or dispossessory notices served against her since 2005, when she first ran for mayor.
After the reports, Blocker-Adams announced Thursday that she was "suspending" her campaign but did
not formally withdraw, meaning her votes would be counted.
Any votes now for Blocker-Adams won't be counted and won't appear in ballot totals, although turnout in other races will give an indication of the level of support she had, Bailey said.
Blocker-Adams, who billed herself as an entrepreneur and pro-business candidate, said that "this past week has been the worst in my life, and as horrible and painful as it was, it
showed me in the past 20 years I have been too prideful, too independent and in denial about my personal finances."
She said she hadn't been "transparent" with her campaign team, which
denied having advance knowledge of her financial issues.
"I will make right by every debt I have incurred. I will work to mend the trust that I have lost and rebuild the relationships that were damaged," she said in her statement. "I appreciate every single vote that may have already been cast for me, and now it is time to do what is best for the city I love, Augusta, Ga."
Blocker-Adams said she had intended to stay in the race and allow her supporters' votes to be counted but determined Sunday night that "it would cost the taxpayers in Augusta-Richmond County money to have my name withdrawn after the race."
Davis and Mason both declined to comment on Blocker-Adams' decision. Myles said, "I hate that this happened to her in the midnight hour," and wished Blocker-Adams well.
Cummings said he hoped to get some of her supporters.
Republican elections observer Dave Barbee said he expected Blocker-Adams' decision to benefit Davis the most.
"It shrunk the pool," Barbee said, making the 50 percent of votes plus one needed to win outright a possibility for Davis, who garnered 36 percent of votes in a May 1 landline poll to Blocker-Adams' second-place 16 percent.
Bailey said she expected between 30 and 40 percent of Augusta's 100,000 registered voters to participate in the election.
About 6,617 people voted early during 16 days of advance voting, including about 2,600 who cast ballots before Blocker-Adams'
financial issues becoming public.

"This is a guy (former Weatherman terror-bomber Bill Ayers) who lives in my neighborhood ... the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago - when I was 8 years old - somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense." -- Barack Obama on the Campaign trail, 2008
"(Rev Mike) Young, pastor of the First Unitarian Church of Honolulu, could only tell his wife and a handful of church administrators that a small, private service was planned for Madelyn Payne Dunham on Dec. 23. It was very hard to keep this secret. ..."
"The bumper stickers on cars outside the church gave an insight into its members' beliefs: No War.' If you want peace, work for justice.' An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.'
"Activism for peace and human rights causes has characterized the congregation of the First Unitarian Church of Honolulu since it was organized 50 years ago. Members were instrumental in founding the League of Women Voters and activating a local branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. It offered sanctuary to servicemen who went AWOL to avoid being sent to Vietnam. It helped launch the Save Our Constitution effort to fight the constitutional amendment on same-sex marriages....
"After leaving Hawaii to work at the Unitarian seminary in Berkeley, Calif., (Church co-founder Rosemary) Mattson and her husband were active in the international peace movement. She escorted more than 25 tours of Americans to the former Soviet Union for people-to-people experience...."
"When (UU Rev Mike) Young reminded Obama that he had attended Sunday School at First Unitarian, his eyes lit up, and he said, Oh that's right!'"
When Obama was in elementary school in Honolulu, Young recounted in a telephone phone interview, either his grandmother or grandfather (there's confusion over which one) brought him to Sunday school there for several years.
The Dunhams had attended a Unitarian church in the Seattle area when Obama's mother was a teenager. Although there's no record of their attendance at the Honolulu church, Obama writes about it in his memoir "Dreams From My Father," and one family who still attends the church remembers him.
When Young reminded Obama at the memorial service, "his eyes lit up, and he turned to Michelle and said, 'Hey, that's right. This is where I went to Sunday school.'"
Obama spent some time on the second floor, where Sunday school is held, but didn't recognize anything. That's not surprising, Young said, because the church has been renovated over the years.
"In his only skirmish into organized religion, he would enroll the family in the local Unitarian Universalist congregation...."
"One of the protesters, Seaman Arthur parker, 17, turned himself in to the authorities at Pearl Harbor yesterday after talking to an Army Chaplain.
"Seaman Parker denounced the protest as a movement to overthrow the government.'"
(Parker) arrived in Honolulu from a Great lakes, (Ill.) boot camp and ... got drunk with buddies at Waikiki last Thursday night.
He told of meeting a young girl the next morning who promised love and relief from the military. Parker disliked violence and war....
"We were walking down the street. Man was I bombed, and these two girls came up and handed me a sheet of paper. It told about the servicemen at the church and what the Resistance stood for.
"I told the girls that I didn't like to hate and I didn't like the war but that all I neeed was love. One of the girls said, Well there's a lot of that at the church.' Then we just talked.
"I went back to the hotel, drank three beers and a half pint of whiskey and then called the Rev Bob Warner to come pick me up....
...On that day the young man from Holland, Mich., became number 18 at the Church of the Crossroads....
"... It isn't a sanctuary anymore. Its become a movement to overthrow the government and I don't stand for that; neither do a lot of the others....
"Even though I don't like the military, I would rather be part of them than what's down at the church. They scare me now."
SIR: Whereas the Congregation of the Unitarian Church of Honolulu acted on October 18, 1968, to adopt a policy of offering symbolic sanctuary to those who in conscience oppose the machinery of war by nonviolent means, the Board of the Church, at its regular August meeting, offers its commendation on behalf of the Unitarian Church of Honolulu to the Church of the Crossroads for its courageous support of the men now in sanctuary.
--Martha D. McDaniel, Secretary of the Board, Unitarian Church of Honolulu
"The resolution cites reports that the POWs are subjected to physical torture, psychological terror, public display, neglect of health and are denied dietary and sanitary necessities. They are unable to correspond with their families and are forced to comply with propaganda exploitation."
"I think the majority of them are probably in need of counseling and psychiatric help. After the wraps are off, you find the real internal problems. Psychologically, some men are not for the military. Its not easy in there."
"The men come for various reasons. We should look into their previous records. We may be assisting psychopathics or neurotics."
"It seems inconsistent that these men who were so willing to face television cameras and speak up before the nation on conscience-so long as they had the protection of the sanctuary'-could not see their adventure through.
"That gives us reason to believe that these young men are not made of the fiber they would have had us believe.
"Their evasion of the consequences, which they admittedly knew would eventually come, casts a shadow over the sincerity of their convictions.
"We can be thankful that they decided to take their stand in the safe confines of a church.
"Had they gone to the jungles of Vietnam, it is entirely possible that their lack of intestinal fortitude could have got someone else killed."
"Our husbands have been missing from eight months to four years and we are hopeful North Vietnamese representatives will tell us if we are wives or widows."
"Some five or six months ago I was charged with rape which I did not commit. The girl that charged me with the intentions of rape was pregnant when she came to Hawaii, so instead of her letting her parents know of this, she thought that she could come here and charge rape on someone....
"While we were driving in Waikiki she started screaming louder and louder, so I told her that if she didn't be quiet that I was going to slap the s**t out of her.
"As we came to a stop sign she jumped out of the car and started running down the street crying. I started to go after her but I decided that I had had enough of her crying so I decided to let her go.
"The next day I was informed by some friends that I was being looked for by the H.P.D. and some M.P.s....I had previously gotten out of an assault on a chick."
Political ping
Well, worth the read.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Obama was steeped in socialism and utra-liberalism since birth (where ever that was). His Mother's family had Communist roots and his Mother also was ensconced firmly in the anti-war leftist movement. Obama's worldview is without question socialist, anti-capitalist and anti-war.
Gee, we know that...how come the media was never able to figure it out?
Kind of eerie for me ,I went through Honolulu on the USS Constellation at the end of July of 69 and the Guys were talking about what was going at this Church,Little did I know that all these years later that the Sleaze Bag in the White House now would have a Connection to all those cowards
Well based on our barry the kenyan's argument that he was only 8 when Bill Ayers did his mischeif, then neo Nazis should not be held accountable for their actions since Hitler died in 1945 when most of them were not even born yet. Such bovine leftovers.
Heeeeeeeeee's a commie!

Kim Kardashian shares an adorable new photo of son Saint West
Kanye West's wife has posted a snap of their son on social media for the second time
KIM Kardashian has shared an adorable new photo of Saint West.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shared the snap with her fans on Twitter and Instagram.
It is just the second photo of Saint that has been shared by Kim since the little boy was born in December.
In the snap the little boy can be seen lying on a white blanket while looking away from the camera.
Kanye West's wife captioned it: "You're the sun in my morning babe."
Celeb babies make social media debut
The proud mum of 2 was also pictured wearing a 'Saint' necklace earlier today.
The reality star sent the internet into meltdown when she shared the first ever photo of Saint West on social media last month.
Kris Jenner's daughter had revealed she decided to release the photo on her late dad Robert Kardashian's birthday.
Alongside the first snap, she wrote: "Today is my dad's birthday. I know there's nothing more in the world he would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren.
"So I wanted to share this pic of Saint with you all."
Saint is Kim's second child with Kanye West.
The couple welcomed their daughter North West in June 2013.

Description: A long time ago in China, there existed three Books of Peace that proved so threatening to the reigning powers that they had them burned. Many years later Maxine Hong Kingston wrote a Fourth Book of Peace, but it too was burned--in the catastrophic Berkeley-Oakland Hills fire of 1991, a fire that coincided with the death of her father. Now in this visionary and redemptive work, Kingston completes her interrupted labor, weaving fiction and memoir into a luminous meditation on war and peace, devastation and renewal.

Born in California to immigrant Chinese parents, Kingston was educated at the University of California at Berkeley. Kingston soared to literary celebrity upon the publication of her autobiographica The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts (1976). The Woman Warrior is dominated by Kingston's mother; her next work, China Men (1980), although not autobiographical in the manner of her previous book, is focused on her father and on the other men in her family, giving fictionalized, poetic versions of their histories. The combination of fiction, nonfiction, memoir, and myth in both books create a form of balanced opposites that one critic has likened to yin and yang. Her first novel, Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book, was published in 1989.

(The Hosting News) – IaaS provider ProfitBricks on Saturday announced it was launching a new foundation program suited to benefit startups.
It's an offering that will assist them by providing virtual data centers. "Every startup deserves a cloud infrastructure that offers the speed and flexibility they need to stay competitive," emphasized ProfitBricks USA CEO Bob Rizika in a press release.
Rizika also noted his company's goal to provide the initiative to companies which "value access to cost-effective, next-generation cloud computing services."
ProfitBricks has already begun the program in the New England area but plans to offer it nationally sometime early this year.
So what makes a company eligible? According to a ProfitBricks press release, those qualified must have a revenue under $1 million, making it possible for them to receive a free cloud server from the IaaS provider for up to one year. Other benefits, meanwhile, include allowing the eligible company to receive 20% off IaaS services for a year's time.
Discussing the matter, ProfitBricks customer and Founder of USpin Ethan Bagley called the program "perfect" for his startup. Features, he noted, were "more scalable, more flexible and the easiest to setup and maintain." "The Data Center Designer allows our team to focus on our product and not on learning and implementing a string of acronyms and complex setup configurations," Bogley went on to say.
The program launch follows a September announcement by ProfitBricks in which the IaaS provider revealed a partnership with MassChallenge – something the company said would benefit entrepreneurs. ProfitBrick's services pertain to high performance computing, SaaS and cloud.

June 29 (Reuters) - A direct investing initiative that Blackstone Group LP is working on in its hedge funds group involves independent management companies, the Wall Street Journal reported on its website on Sunday, citing people familiar with the plans.
Blackstone, best known for its private equity and real estate deals, already manages $58.3 billion in assets at its BAAM hedge funds solution division. Most of it is invested in third-party funds not run by Blackstone, yet the firm also has $5.5 billion invested directly across its entire platform.
BAAM President Tomilson Hill told Blackstone's public investor day on June 12 that the firm was working on a direct investing initiative in which "talented risk takers" would be recruited into a "condominum-like structure managed by BAAM".
The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing its sources, that the recruited traders will not be Blackstone employees but will be grouped in independent management companies. Combined, the teams' investments will form a multistrategy hedge fund to be pitched to wealthy clients, the financial newspaper added.
Blackstone is in final negotiations with the first teams that will start as soon as this autumn, the Wall Street Journal said. They will each start with as much as $500 million, including borrowed money, and place a relatively small number of large, highly concentrated wagers, it added.
The move is BAAM's latest effort to diversify beyond its traditional fund-of-funds business. It has also launched a fund that takes ownership stakes in other hedge funds, as well as offerings for individual investors.
Blackstone representatives did respond to a request for comment. (Reporting by Greg Roumeliotis in New York; Editing by Sandra Maler)

Young children and teens of the 80s and 90s may remember spending many a day balled up on the couch playing classic video games. Whether it was with siblings, friends, or even by yourself, the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, was a must-have system.
Now, gamers will have a chance to relive those nostalgic days alongside Mario and Donkey Kong with the release of the NES Classic Edition. This new take on an old system looks like a mini version of the classic console, but it comes prepackaged with 30 classic titles for fans to enjoy.
New and improved
While the new product is based on an old design, some functional updates have been given to the NES Classic Edition to make it more accessible. Consumers will be able to connect the mini-device to their TV's via an HDMI cable instead of the old power cables.
The controllers for the console have also seen a bit of an update. While they look and function like the classic NES controllers, they can also be connected to a Wii Remote for use with Virtual Console games on the Wii and Wii U.
The system also no longer uses cartridges, so fans will no longer have to relive the memories of blowing into the bottom port to get a stubborn game to work; all 30 of the games come pre-downloaded on the device.
Bring on the nostalgia
Nintendo's announcement of the system has been met with enthusiasm by the gaming community, who are chomping at the bit to buy one for themselves. They'll have to wait a little while though – release of the device isn't scheduled until November 11. It will retail for $59.99, with additional controllers available at $9.99 each.
A complete list of the available games follows:

Agency: AMV BBDO
Client: Walkers Crisps
TV viewers around the UK have been given a New Year surprise with Gary Lineker appearing on screens - totally naked!
He reveals an apparently new and outstandingly toned body when he joins a world of clothes-free models to promote the Walkers Baked range which has 70% less fat than regular Walkers crisps.
The 30-second, black and white ad is creatively a new direction for the crisp company. It opens with a scene of beautiful people going about their daily routines completely naked, against a soundtrack of the suitably sultry 'Sexy Boy' by Air.
A toned, apparently naked Gary boards a bus, eating a packet of Baked and giving smouldering looks to the camera. Before things get too explicit, the star quickly uses his crisp packet to cover his modesty.
As the advert ends, the line between fantasy and reality is established with the closing caption, "We can't promise you'll look good naked, but we can promise you 70% less fat."
Gary Lineker, who has starred in over 70 adverts for the nation's favourite crisp company, said, "This was definitely one of the more unusual Walkers ads I've ever filmed.
"We shot it in South Africa which was great fun - and let's face it, a cold, rainy shoot in Britain would have been a bit chilly for the actors who were all nearly naked."
Marketing Manager for Walkers, Krys Jankowski, added that the advert carried a 'less is more' message to target health conscious consumers post-Christmas.

Hegazi continues to impress despite West Brom loss to Palace
Egypt international Ahmed Hegazi played the full 90 minutes in another strong...
Nigeria international players Odion Ighalo, Kelechi Iheanacho and Moses Simon comment on the crucial qualifier against Egypt.
Nigeria take on Egypt in Kaduna on the 25th of March, then on the 29th of March in Alexandria as both team look to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
Regarding the anticipated match, Watford goal-king Odion Ighalo put the team in front of his goalscoring heroics.
"I am not putting my personal target ahead of the team. If I don't score and the team wins that will be the most important thing," Ighalo told Nigerian sport radio station Brila FM.
Ighalo scored a crucial goal around a week ago to help Watford eliminate Mohamed Elneny's Arsenal from the FA Cup. The 26-year-old went on to apologize to Nigerian Arsenal fans.
"I try to score goals against every team I play, not only Arsenal. I'm sorry for the Arsenal fans for doing that but that is my job," Ighalo concluded.
Manchester City prodigy Kelechi was grateful for his call up by Siasia, calling it a 'surprise'.
"It was a great surprise, I am happy to be given the opportunity to play from the under-17 to this level," Iheanacho stated.
"I thank the people of Nigeria, the NFF [Nigerian Football Federation] for giving me the opportunity to play. I'm very happy, delighted.
Iheanacho is widely expected to take part in both legs as the Super Eagles will be aiming to collecting six points against Egypt.
"No I don't have a dream scoreline, we have to play and do our best. I think I haven't been to Egypt so I don't know about the weather but when we get there we will know about it," the 19-year-old concluded.
K.A.A Gent star Moses Simon later confirmed the team was adamant to win at all costs.
"My position is fixed, we need wins. We will just go there and do our best," Simon claimed.

Have you thought about a bespoke system up front performing all the calculations that you require and then posting the information back in to Microsoft Dynamix AX (MD AX) with a data-feed program? Here in the UK for some of my customers I have written the front-end program and then used the software RFGen to write the data directly back into MD AX) I used the UK distributor www.N2Ltd.com and certain they could put you in contact with other worldwide distributors.

This weekend, I experienced the most abusive verbal street harassment of my life. I was walking with my sister in Chinatown to get coffee, and a man who appeared to be homeless was sitting in front of the Goethe Institut and asked us for money. I very politely apologized and said that I didn't have anything to give him (which was true- I very rarely carry cash). We continued walking, and the man glared at us and said, "You won't give a white guy money, but you'll spread your ass cheeks and bend over and let some coon stick it to you." My sister and I were shocked. We turned around, mouths wide open, and I said, "Excuse me, that is not OK." We continued walking, and the man shouted after us, "I hope you choke on a coon dick."
My sister and I were both incredibly shaken by this extremely violent and racist attack, and we kept walking in hopes of finding a police officer, but none were there (which is rare in that area). After we had gotten our coffee, we started walking back. We were going to bypass the guy to avoid any trouble, but we saw someone about to leave him some leftovers. I quietly said to the guy, "Excuse me, I know you are trying to help, but I think you should know what this man just said to my sister and I." The man looked as shocked as we had been, took his food, and said, "Man, you can't talk to women like that." As we walked by, my sister tried to subtly take a picture of the harasser with her phone. He got really angry and started to get up and come towards us. We quickly ran across the street, where I called the police.
Now, this part of the story is almost as upsetting as the incident itself. I explained the situation to the 911 dispatcher and suggested that perhaps they should send someone to the area. The dispatcher then asked, "Is the man black or Hispanic." I was taken aback, and had to explain that the man was actually white. He said he would send a car there, but by then, the guy had figured out what I was doing and went on his way, so I told them not to bother.
Living in DC, I have experienced my share of street harassment, and while it still gets to me, I am usually able to blow it off. This incident, however, has left me incredibly troubled. I know that there is a high incidence of mental health issues amongst the homeless, but this guy exhibited completely reasoned racist and sexist hate. Just thinking of how easily such violent sex, gender, and race-based insults came to his mind still makes me cringe.

Ericsson Lean Carrier applies 5G ultra-lean design concepts to today's LTE networks.Both Telstra and SK Telecom have confirmed support for Ericsson Lean Carrier software in their commercial LTE networks. In February 2016, Signals Research Group (SRG) conducted independent testing on the Telstra 4G LTE service, verifying the increased utilisation of both 256 QAM and 64 QAM when Ericsson Lean Carrier software was enabled.Michael Thelander, president and founder, Signals Research Group, said: "Our testing reflects that, with Ericsson Lean Carrier, the user experience and network efficiency benefits of higher order modulation techniques, both 256 QAM and 64 QAM, in fixed and mobile applications, can be delivered more often and over a broader coverage area."It is evident in our geo plots that the 256 QAM modulation scheme was used far more frequently when Ericsson Lean Carrier was enabled - this was a very pleasant surprise since 256 QAM was solely targeted for use in small cells when first introduced. We foresee tremendous advantages associated with deploying 256 QAM throughout an operator's macro network."Telstra configured the network so that SRG could conduct testing with Ericsson Lean Carrier enabled and disabled, ensuring a valid basis for comparison. Ericsson was not aware of the test campaign until just prior to SRG releasing the study in its subscription-based Signals Ahead publication.The user device for the testing was the NETGEARTM 810S mobile hotspot (Category 11 device) with the Qualcomm SnapdragonTM X12 LTE modem. The device supports 256 QAM and three 20 MHz FDD carriers.Mike Wright, Telstra group managing director, Networks, said: "The Telstra mobile network already supports devices capable of download speeds of up to 600 Mbps enabled with 256 QAM and Ericsson Lean Carrier, and we were pleased that Signals Research Group noted, 'There are very few LTE networks anywhere in the world where this level of performance can be observed'."For all of the tests, SRG had multiple FTP downloads occurring simultaneously in order to maximize the amount of data being sent through the network. In the mobility testing, it was found that there were numerous regions along the drive route where 256 QAM availability was higher with Ericsson Lean Carrier enabled.In stationary testing, the incidence of 64 and 256 QAM utilisation increased by 67%. In addition to improved efficiency, greater utilisation of 256 QAM will also increase the data rates users experience enabling peak LTE data rates of 1 Gbps for gigabit LTE equipped networks.From a network efficiency perspective, SRG highlighted a rising tide effect with Ericsson Lean Carrier, noting: "Using 256 QAM, if the network can more efficiently schedule a few users then it has more network resources available to schedule all of the other users, which cannot take advantage of the higher modulation."Comprehensive results are included in the research consultancy's Signals Ahead report "How Fast is that Kangaroo in the Window? The one with the 256 QAM" published in May 2016. This study was independently conducted by and entirely self-funded by SRG. Access to the findings is available in SRG's "Signals Ahead" subscription-based publication.Per Narvinger, Head of 4G and 5G Access, Business Unit Radio, Ericsson, said: "With Lean Carrier, Ericsson is the first to address inter-cell signalling interference by introducing 5G ultra-lean design concepts to LTE, so we are pleased to see that the results of Signals Research independent testing have validated our own findings, in terms of improved app coverage and network efficiency."With increasing mobile network demand from consumers, industry and the IoT, Ericsson innovation focuses on enhancing the performance and efficiency of today's LTE networks while supporting our customers' evolution to 5G."Ericsson Lean Carrier has also been validated in the SK Telecom 4G LTE network where the software is running live in thousands of cells. Joint testing conducted with Ericsson in Q3 and Q4, 2015 confirmed that that the reduction of reference signals and related interference enabled 256 QAM to be more broadly applied throughout the outdoor macro environment.See also: Ericsson addresses 4G and 5G inter-cell signalling interferenceJames Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

Concord - New Hampshire Republican State Committee Chairman Jennifer Horn today announced that the party has hired Matt Mowers as its next Executive Director and Bobby Collins as State Field Director. Mowers recently served as Regional Political Director for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's successful re-election campaign. Collins, a former NHGOP Victory Field Representative, returns to the Granite State after serving as the Field Director of the Republican Party of Virginia
"Matt Mowers and Bobby Collins are extremely talented political operatives who will continue to build and expand our strong party infrastructure. They are seasoned and experienced professionals who have the skills that are needed to help New Hampshire Republicans win in 2014," said Chairman Jennifer Horn. "I am pleased that they have agreed to join our exceptional team and look forward to working with them."
"New Hampshire Republicans have an enormous opportunity to make significant gains in 2014 if they focus on the traditional Granite State principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility," said Mowers. "I am thrilled to join Chairman Horn's team, and I am eager to help our fiscally responsible candidates take back New Hampshire next November."
"I am excited to return to New Hampshire and rejoin the State Committee," said Collins. "New Hampshire Republicans can win in 2014 and I look forward to working with our state and federal candidates to help them run successful campaigns."
Since April 2013, Mowers served as Regional Political Director for Governor Christie's successful reelection campaign. In that role, he was responsible for managing political operations for eight counties encompassing 2.2 million voters, including the state's largest swing county. Before joining the Christie Campaign, Mowers served as a regional director for legislative and intergovernmental affairs in the New Jersey Governor's Office from 2010-2013. He previously served as the Executive Director of the Bergen County Republican Organization and managed several New Jersey state senate campaigns.
Bobby Collins has served as the Field Director for the Republican Party of Virginia since May and managed voter contact operations during the Commonwealth's 2013 elections. Before moving to Virginia, Collins served as a Victory Field Representative for the New Hampshire Republican Party in Nashua during the 2012 election cycle. He previously worked at the American Family Business Institute and interned for the New Jersey Republican State Committee.

Ratings for Dr. Kurt Alscher
Saved my life too! He is the best you can get! He knows his stuff and his receptionest is the nicest.
Dr.Alscher is the best you can have .Saved my Life God bless you
Dr. Alscher is a fantastic person and surgeon. He saved my life.
From the first procedure to diagnosis to surgery and follow-up Dr, Alscher and his staff put me at easy with the knowledge of my cancer and the operation and procedures which were in store. Two years later I am still "cancer free" and my procedures in the future I accept without fear or concerns. Dr. Alscher's manner and diligence to my situation is done with the greatest of care and when he says that he will be at my bedside, after surgery, at 0700...there he is, right on time, impressive!
First rate surgeon with a friendly and professional approach. His staff are extremely professional and go out of the way to put one at ease.
Dr Alscher is a great surgeon, but the follow up is unheard of. He has called me at home to check to make sure I'm ok & when I was diagnosed with cancer for the second time, he called to make sure that I fully understood the diagnosis. He has followed my case for 6 years so when I had a follow up with him, he knew exactly what treatments & care I had in the meantime. He doesn't act like a snooty surgeon which I've had in the past. Wonderful bedside manner & his staff is outstanding.
I've had four inguinal hernias and lost a testicaleduring my previous su.rgery due to loss of blood supply., three years ago. I wa s extremely nervous and apprehensive about ever having surgery again. Dr. Kurt Alscher reassured me and performed my hernia surgery last week with great success. I wish I had him for a surgeon the first time because it would have been done right. Dr. Alscher is an exceptional surgeon and I would not hesitate to put my life in his hands. He is a fantastic doctor.
An exceptional surgeon. On time, courteous, and down to earth. I felt very confortable with his abilities, and am alive today because of him. Dr. Alscher performed a long, complex colon cancer surgery on me, with excellent results. I could not be more impressed with this surgeon, and am grateful to my family doctor for referring me to him.
Outstanding office staff - very polite and efficient. The doctor was very courteous and informative, explained everything in detail before the surgery and also on the day of the surgery, superb follow up - highly recommended.
Dr. Alscher's diagnosis and recommendations were valid. The operations performed, although minor, were completed efficiently and left me not only without discomfort but feeling much improved ready for the next session. Dr. Alscher not only listened but understood what I had to say.

I Will Build My Church (PART 2 Of 3) by Tony Nester
This content is part of a series.I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH
The Church Jesus Envisioned: Part 2 of 3
Pastor Tony R. Nester
Trinity United Methodist Church, Waverly, Iowa
Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 4:11-13
Last Sunday we began to get a glimpse of the church as
Jesus envisioned it. The verse we keyed in on was
Matthew 16:18. You'll find it as the lead Scripture on
today's Scripture insert page. Let's take this one
verse and read it aloud together:
(Matthew 16:18 NRSV) "And I tell you, you are Peter,
and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates
of Hades will not prevail against it."
Jesus spoke these words immediately on hearing Peter
words of faith in Jesus in Matthew 16:16:
(Matthew 16:16 NRSV) "You are the Messiah, the Son of
the living God."
Jesus identified Peter's faith in him as the rock upon
which he would build his church. Jesus put tremendous
emphasis what he could do with our faith in him. In
Matthew 17:20 he told his disciples:
(Matthew 17:20 NRSV) "For truly I tell you, if you
have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to
this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will
move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
Those of us who believe in Jesus as our Living Leader
and Lord keep exploring the meaning of this promise.
We don't understand everything about faith. All we
know is that Jesus can take our faith in him and do
more than we know. All things are possible.
On this rock of faith Jesus continues to build his
That's where we left off last Sunday. Today I want to
explore the second part of Jesus' words to Peter: I
will build my church.
Building is different from dreaming.
I like to dream. Dreaming about what might be is fun
and it's also valuable - it spurs creativity. As long
as you're in the dreaming process you can keep your
hands clean. You don't have to worry about swinging a
hammer or carting cement. There is no sweat and no
pain in dreaming.
But when you begin ...

Dear Jennifer: I am baffled by the current school districts in the Galt area. Why have they not merged over the years? With the resignation of Arcohe Union School District's superintendent last year, there was a perfect opportunity to lessen a superintendent and reduce duplication, but what do they do? They hire another one. The Elk Grove district has 62 schools and one superintendent. In Galt alone there are two superintendents, not counting the smaller rural districts.
This is a question that comes up a lot during this time of year, when school districts have just passed their budgets. And for the third consecutive year, they are filled with huge personnel and program cuts.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Make an Elsa Costume
Three Parts:ClothingHairMakeupCommunity Q&A
Elsa is the snow queen character in the animated film Frozen. She is a fun character to dress up as for a party, Halloween or just for fun.
Part 1
1Choose a top. For the shirt, unless you are wearing a dress, try to find something sparkly with long sleeves. Or, find two tops––one that is light blue and sparkly, and one with netted sleeves. You can stitch the netted sleeves onto the light blue top. If you can't find netted sleeves, find normal sleeves in the same color.
2Find a skirt. Elsa wears a long dress that is light blue. Try to find a skirt that is the same or a similar color that your top is.
- If you can find a dress like Elsa's, great! Her actual dress has no sleeves, except for netted sleeves. Again, try to find a shirt with netted sleeves and sew the sleeves on or wear the shirt underneath, so as not to ruin the shirt. If you can't find a dress, do what was outlined with the shirt and skirt (above).
Part 2
1Pull your hair into a loose fishtail. Have it start in the middle of the scalp (a French fishtail).
2Try her more complex 'coronation' hairdo from the start of the film. See How to do Elsa's coronation hair style for details.
3Try sprinkling a little blue or silver glitter over your hair. This will give it the icy sparkling look which Elsa has.
Part 3
1Spread foundation on your skin. Elsa has pale skin, which can be achieved by using foundation.
2Use mascara. Elsa has thick lashes. To achieve this, use lots of mascara. Perhaps use some fake lashes.
3Copy Elsa's eyes. Use purple and bronze colors. Use dark purple eyeshadow on your eyelids, and bronze above your eyelids, below your eyebrows. Make your eyes really stand out.
4Add pink lipstick. Elsa has pink lips, so you should wear some lipstick, if needed, to enhance the color.
Community Q&A
Does it matter if you have brown skin?wikiHow ContributorNot at all.
What should be done if I have short hair (to my neck). What hairstyle can I do?wikiHow ContributorYou could do a pixie cut, or try to make a short bun. If it doesn't work, or if you don't like it, you could just wear a wig.
I have short black hair and I cannot dye it or wear a wig. What can I do?wikiHow ContributorMy sister is the same way, she just put a short braid in her hair and everyone could tell who she was trying to be.

- Look for clothing in a large thrift store. You never know what kinds of things you can find, and they are generally cheaper than normal stores.
- If you want to be a more tomboyish version of Elsa, instead of a skirt, try blue baggy pants instead.
