Chance of shingles reduced with shot
According to a May 16, 2008, Associated Press news report, a vaccine for shingles (herpes zoster) is now available. Vaccination is highly recommended for people who are 60 and older. It's even recommended for people who have had shingles already.
I'm fortunate that shingles broke out on my hand (rather than my face or elsewhere), and I hope that I'll never have them again if I take the shot.
My cousin Alta wrote the following about her experience with shingles:
Shingles, I know how they hurt. I had them 6 years ago on the left side of my face including my left eye, which they thought I would lose my eye sight but the shingle was behind the eye so that helped. I have lot of eye scares from the shingles so can't remove the cataract that is forming. Too dangerous but I can see out of it, but not as good as I would have.
Source: E-mail, 6-8-08
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) cites statistics for shingles and some common complications.
Approximately one in three persons will develop zoster during their lifetime, resulting in an estimated 1 million episodes in the United States annually.
A common complication of zoster is postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a chronic, often debilitating pain condition that can last months or even years. The risk for PHN in patients with zoster is 10%--18%.
Another complication of zoster is eye involvement, which occurs in 10%--25% of zoster episodes and can result in prolonged or permanent pain, facial scarring, and loss of vision.
Approximately 3% of patients with zoster are hospitalized; many of these episodes involved persons with one or more immunocompromising conditions.
Deaths attributable to zoster are uncommon among persons who are not immunocompromised.
Source: CDC document, "Prevention of Herpes Zoster." This document also notes that 99.5% of U.S. citizens test positive for varicella (chicken pox), and about 50% of those who live to age 85 will contract zoster (shingles.)
Before my current outbreak of shingles, I wasn't aware of the high likelihood of getting the disease, the possible complications, or the vaccine that's now available. I'm better informed now. I intend to have the shingles shot as soon as possible.

You may have seen Tom Brokaw's series American Character Along Highway 50
Well, it begins right here in Ocean City!
"A description of the route in a 1954 brochure remains surprisingly fitting today: "Above all, Famous Fifty is a pleasure route designed for the enjoyment of America and its varied wealth of history and natural grandeur."
Highway 50, the central most transcontinental route in the United States, is one of the nation's most historic roads. It spans over 3,000 miles, traversing 12 states and Washington D.C., as it stretches from Ocean City, Maryland on the Atlantic coast to Sacramento, California in the west. Along the way it passes through farmland and suburbs and even the occasional city."
Your tour begins as you travel across the Chesapeake Bay. It affords one of the most scenic views in the country. It's said that you take a sign of relief when you cross to the Eastern Shore of Maryland- away from metropolitan cities and traffic to the scenic and charming Eastern Shore.
Make your way down the Shore on famous Route 50 as you tour historic St. Michaels. Explore the African American experience in Cambridge where Harriet Tubman was born in Dorchester County and ran the Underground Railroad. The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is famous for its Atlantic Flyway location and wildlife viewing.
Near Vienna, Maryland, Route 50 crosses the salt-water marshes and this charming town boasts a quaint museum complete with a replica of a pearl button factory.
A few minutes later in Mardela, see the Adkins Museum complex and then travel on to your base of touring the Shore, Ocean City! In all its seaside splendor Ocean City offers hotels, dining, the nearby Assateague ponies and much more.
When you arrive on Route 50 you will see the Atlantic Ocean and you have gone as far east on Route 50 as you possible can!

All orders are verified for fitment guarantee
Verified by tire & wheel expert
We honor the fitment.
1010TIRES.COM goes through many steps to ensure that all orders we ship will fit your described vehicle.
To the best of our knowledge, the 1010TIRES.COM vehicle, wheel, tire and tire and wheel package selectors are accurate. Due to the possibility of typographical errors, modified vehicles, wear of vehicle, age of vehicle, or other factors, our proprietary selectors may not always be 100% accurate. Our vehicle database is sourced and verified by third party and to the best of our knowledge is accurate and up to date.
Please be aware that if you are installing aftermarket wheels, and/or changing tire size you are customizing your vehicle; therefore, the products you order from 1010TIRES.COM may not fit exactly the same as the factory settings.
If the order is approved for our 100% Fitment Guarantee and the product doesn't fit we will offer you a replacement or a full refund, including shipping charges (*some conditions apply).
You must provide your vehicle information. The selected vehicle information must be accurate and complete. It is the customers' responsibility to provide accurate and complete vehicle information.
The vehicle must be unmodified and has all original factory settings. Please note, older vehicles may no longer have factory parameters and therefore, may not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee.
You are purchasing a full set of tires, wheels or tires and wheels package. Less than a set (3 or less) does not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee
Rims: Rims will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment.
Tires: Will fall within the approved overall tire diameter, load rating, and speed rating (winter tires are approved to have a lower speed rating).
Tire and Wheel Packages: The package will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment
When you place an order, you must select your vehicle information from the drop-down menus presented to you in the search by car areas. Please note, the description of the vehicle may differ from your markings on the car. Always refer to your user manual for a full description of your vehicle. The failure to choose the correct vehicle may affect the selection of the product that fits your vehicle and your claim for fitment guarantee may be rejected. If you feel that your exact vehicle is not listed please use "Notes and Additional Instructions" box to add your vehicle information at the checkout. A 1010TIRES.COM expert will use that information provided for verification.
Driver's Side Door Sticker Example
When upsizing or downsizing tires/wheels always refer to your original equipment tire size. Correct tire and wheel information can usually be found on the inside of the driver's side door on a sticker. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that this information is correct prior to placing the order in order to qualify for Fitment Guarantee.
If you choose not to provide your vehicle information, or chose to skip Fitment Check, when placing an order our Fitment Guarantee is not applicable.
Once we receive your order our first priority is to check fitment. This is done by our fitment team that employs various methods and manufactures databases to check fitment. We may come to the conclusion that the products you have ordered will not fit your described vehicle. In this case, you will be notified and will be provided with alternative options. If you still feel confident about your original purchase and want to proceed with the order as is, we will ship it to you with a disclaimer to that effect and such order is not covered by our Fitment Guarantee Policy. If you need to return the order we will issue an in-store credit only and it's subject to our Return/refund policy.
Since we don't have your vehicle present to physically qualify it for fitment we rely on our collective experience and expertise, and consult numerous fitment sources to make approve fitment. Due to mechanical wear and tear of a vehicle, tires and/or wheels may not fit as intended. It is impossible to take these factors into account when verifying fitment. Therefore, on rare occasions when a customer claims the product does not fit we reserve the right to refuse such a claim based on our previous experience with the same vehicle and/ or manufacturers fitment data available to the public. In such cases we will request pictures showing the issues with fitment and will assess the claim on a case by case basis. If the claim for a fitment guarantee is denied our Return/refund policy will apply.
The vehicle description chosen or described by the customer is not complete, inaccurate or wrong.
The vehicle is not listed when order is placed.
The vehicle is listed on the manufacturers website as an approved fitment but the customer or the installer claims the product does not fit.
The manufacturer representative has qualified the product as an approved fit for your described vehicle but the customer or the installer claims that the product doesn't fit.
The order was not approved for 100% Fitment Guarantee and the order was shipped with the disclaimer to that effect
The order was approved as a fitment based on the previously filled orders for exact same vehicle and product shipped (we keep such data) but the product didn't fit due to the mechanical wear and tear.
*Please note, you are responsible for a safe keeping and handling of the order that is under our Fitment Guarantee policy. If the order is returned and we determine that the product was damaged, this voids the Fitment Guarantee policy. The refund will then be issued as per our return/refund policy.

In a 2011 edition of Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine, E. Dan Klepper wrote eloquently about what folklore in general and the Texas Folklore Society in particular have meant to this largest state in the lower 48.
He wrote in part:
FOLKLORE makes for an odd mix of characters. You'll find fiddlers, photographers, cartographers and poets along with their jigs, portraits, surveys and sonnets. You'll find ghosts and their graves, jesters and jokes, canners and tanners, hucksters and cons, the doomed and the damned, and the lucky, of course, especially in love.
Folklore is a strange and disparate culmination of the revolutionary and the traditional, together with all of its artifacts, rituals, stories and songs, aggregating over time to create the grand total of a culture and its identity.
Folklore is also a handmade thing, and its rough edges make parsing out the sum of its meaning an arduous task. It is culture's anecdote, residing alongside the factual, but rarely found within it.
Folklore is not, however, fiction. It is oral, variable and anonymous, divorced from its originator, passed down by word of mouth, and, although it adheres to patterns, it changes over time. Fables and tales, arts and crafts, games and puzzles, music, dances, superstitions and remedies all provide material for the making of folklore, and, academics aside, its authorship belongs to its people.
But keeping watch as folklore evolves, perhaps even playing a part in its invention, helps to make sense of it all. Texas, with its ever-expanding identity, has been fortunate to host a gatekeeper to do just that over the last century.
With more than 100 volumes to date, the [Texas Folklore Society] is undoubtedly the master archivist of Lone Star folklore and, in essence, has crafted our understanding of not only what it means to be Texan but Texas itself.
MUSICOLOGIST John Lomax would be one of the first to acknowledge the importance of the state's folklore. Lomax was a nationally recognized folklorist for his Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads, an anthology he collected of well-known titles like Home on the Range.
In 1909, Lomax was granted a professorship at Texas A&M University, and together with University of Texas professor Leonidas Payne they established the Texas Folklore Society. By 1910, they had 92 members signed up. The society's first official meeting, held in 1911, featured a presentation paper on Boll Weevil, a traditional blues song Lomax first collected along the Brazos River bottom in 1909.
Boll Weevil is good example of folklore. The song laments the beetle infestation that devastated the cotton industry through the turn of the 19th century. The lyrics, however, varied with the artists who sang them.
Charley Patton, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey and Blind Willie McTell all sang and recorded versions of the song, sometimes under different permutations of the song's original title.
But Lead Belly's rendition, recorded in 1934 by Lomax's son Alan, a folklorist in his own right, is the most complete version and the one to achieve a lasting position in the blues canon.
The Texas Folklore Society took a hiatus after 1917, but by then the work of gathering Texas folklore had begun in earnest.
Leadership in archiving Texas folklore was taken up again in 1921 by one of the state's literary icons, J. Frank Dobie.
Dobie was discharged from the Army in 1919 and returned to Texas, teaching English for a year before taking a job as ranch manager for his uncle Jim. He embraced the cowboy life with heart and soul, a commitment that would influence the way he would guide the society for the next 20 years.
"During the year I spent on Los Olmos Ranch," Dobie wrote, "while Santos talked, while Uncle Jim Dobie and other cowmen talked or stayed silent, while the coyotes sang their songs, and the sandhill cranes honked their lonely music, I seemed to be seeing a great painting of something I'd known all of my life. I seemed to be listening to a great epic of something that had been commonplace in my youth but now took on new meanings."
The experience made a populist out of Dobie, and, once the society's reins were under his control, he coaxed the exceptional out of the provincial . . .
Dobie gathered many of today's most recognized Texas folktales, compiling them in the society's 1924 publication Legends of Texas. Among the pages were stories of buried treasure and lost gold mines, haunted bays and pirate ships, and how places got their names. The stories found in Legends of Texas are testimony to Dobie's keen sense of preserve-worthy tales. . .
Today, the Texas Folklore Society boasts 450 members and a roster of folktale-collecting contributors. The society's secretary/editor position, once held by Dobie and only a handful of others including Mody Boatright, Wilson Hudson and F.E. Abernethy, is now occupied by Kenneth L. Untiedt, associate professor of English at Stephen F. Austin State University.
The society welcomes all and counts ranchers, lawyers and farmers among its ranks, along with librarians and teachers. Society members are actively engaged in the state's lively festival circuit and also interact routinely with the state's other cultural organizations.
The Texas Folklore Society maintains a website (www.texasfolkloresociety.org) and a consistent publishing schedule, taking John Lomax's entreaty to heart and avoiding "musty tomes and incomplete records." Instead, the centenarian society continues to invigorate the Texas tradition by distinguishing our cultural identity for a new century of Texans.

For a few times now Thomas Bushnell of Google has given a presentation at UDS about Google's private Ubuntu fork. One of the interesting tidbits he mentions is that deploying a system update that requires rebooting costs the company one million dollars in lost productivity.
This gives us a nice metric to evaluate how much other operations at googleplex might cost. If we assume that a reboot takes five minutes per person, then it follows that taking one minute of all Google staff costs two hundred thousand dollars. Let's use this piece of information to estimate how much money configure scripts are costing in lost productivity.
The duration of one configure script varies wildly. It is rare to go under 30 seconds and several minutes is not uncommon. Let's use a round lowball estimate of one minute on average.
That million dollars accounts for every single Google employee. What percentage of those have to build source code with Autotools is unknown, so let's say half. It is likewise hard to estimate how often these people run configure scripts, but let's be on the safe side and say once per day. Similarly let's assume 200 working days in one year.
Crunching all the numbers gives us the final result. That particular organisation is paying $20 million every year just to have their engineers sit still watching text scroll by in a terminal.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – It was a textbook give-and-go play from Danielle Goerler to Jordan Roy that gave Coker the 1-0 victory over No. 10 regionally ranked Newberry College on Wednesday (Oct. 23) at the Coker Soccer Field.
The goal came in the 65th minute when Roy fed the ball up the sideline to an awaiting Goerler. Goerler was quickly surrounded by the Wolves defense, but she swiftly fed the ball to Roy who dribbled into the box and scored on the opposite corner of the Newberry keeper.
Coker's defense would then take care of the remaining 25 minutes to preserve the shutout.
Newberry landed 7-of-10 shots on goal, but Lizz Morris would save all seven shots to add to her nation leading 133 saves on the year.
Coker landed 5-of-9 shots on goal, with all five shots coming from different Cobras. Overall, Coker had eight different players with opportunities to shoot.
The Cobras will hit the road for their next competition as they travel to Tusculum this Sunday (Oct. 27) to compete in a conference match up. The game is slated for a 1:00 p.m. start time.

Orioles hammer Moore in win over Rays
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles broke out of a brief offense funk against one of the top pitchers in the American League.
J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, Alexi Casilla and Nick Markakis had two RBIs apiece and the Orioles hammered eight-game winner Matt Moore in beating the Tampa Bay Rays 10-7 on Sunday.
Baltimore, held to one run and six hits in losing the first two games of the series, had 16 hits Sunday.
"Today we just came out aggressive," Hardy said.
Moore (8-2) allowed career highs of nine runs and 12 hits over five innings in his second consecutive loss. The left-hander was coming off a subpar start last Tuesday in which he gave up six runs over two-plus inning in a 10-1 loss at Detroit.
"The 8-0 start is obviously gone," Moore said of his undefeated stretch. "It's something that, maybe, was a bit misleading I guess you could say. It definitely shows how our team is playing."
Moore said when he was getting ahead in the count Sunday that he just didn't make the needed pitch.
"Not bad stuff, but the location was not good," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "They were not missing anything. This whole season, really, he has not been a command kind of a pitcher. Earlier in the season he might have been making mistakes that were not being hit. It's not like it's entirely different than early, it's just that the command right now is a little off with his off-speed stuff. They were in bad spots."
Chris Tillman (6-2) gave up three runs and four hits in six innings. The Baltimore right-hander has won all five of his road decisions this year.
"You've got to go out there and pitch like it's a 0-0 ball game," Tillman said. "That's one of the learning curves in this game. You've got to go out there no matter what and throw."
Jim Johnson entered in the ninth with two on and two outs and gave up an RBI single to Jose Labaton that got Tampa Bay to 10-7 — they trailed 9-1 in the fourth.
The right-hander then retired Kelly Johnson on an infield pop fly to get his 21st save.
"American League East is tough," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "You've got to play nine innings, which our guys did. They kept adding on, or trying to, because it's hard in the major leagues. Things are going to happen."
Johnson had a run-scoring hit in the sixth for the Rays, who lost for just the fourth time in the last 14 games.
The Orioles took a 2-0 lead in the first on RBI doubles by Hardy and Jones. Manny Machado was hit by a pitch near the knee, but stayed in the game and scored from first on Hardy's hit.
Casilla hit a sacrifice fly, Machado drove in a run with his 27th double this season, and Hardy had a run-scoring double as Baltimore went up 5-0 in the second. Machado has a hit in 24 of his last 26 road games.
"You just hope you're not catching him when he's on top of game," Showalter said of Moore. "When he is, it doesn't usually work out for you. We were fortunate to be on the mistakes he made."
Tampa Bay got one run back in the bottom of the second when Evan Longoria doubled and later scored on Desmond Jennings' infield single. Jennings was caught attempting to steal second later in the inning when Machado made a nifty spinning tag.
Casilla had an RBI single and Markakis hit a sacrifice fly during a three-run third to extend the Baltimore advantage to 8-1. Markakis also had a run-scoring double off Cesar Ramos in the seventh.
Jones hit a solo homer to put Baltimore ahead 9-1 in the fourth.
Ben Zobrist hit his first homer since May 1, a solo shot in the fourth off Tillman.
Sam Fuld helped cut the Rays deficit to 10-6 during the eighth on his first homer since May 27, 2011, a two-run shot against Brian Matusz, who gave up three runs and five hits in two-thirds of an inning. Luke Scott also had an RBI single in the inning.
NOTES: Orioles slugger Chris Davis was hitless in 12 at-bats in the series and saw his average drop from .357 to .338. ... Baltimore 2B Brian Roberts (right hamstring) will continue his rehab program with the team. Roberts, who has been working out at the Orioles' complex in Sarasota, Fla., hopes to return before the All-Star break. ... Longoria was the DH, getting a day off from playing third on the artificial turf. ... An MRI on Baltimore RHP Steve Johnson showed a slight left oblique strain. He went on the disabled list June 5. ... Orioles pitching prospect Dylan Bundy (elbow and forearm soreness) is scheduled to resume throwing and make 25 throws at 60 feet on Monday.

All these issues can be addressed relatively easily - and in doing so, Metro would become a hell of a lot more useful for people who want to do actual work on their computers. People often point to Microsoft's collected usage data, saying something like "only 10% of Windows users have more than x number of windows open". The crazy thing is - 10% of all Windows users is still close to 100 million people.
My list of suggestions is short, easy to implement, and does not, in any way, harm the design ideals behind Metro. In fact, I would argue these can be implemented even before Windows 8 goes RTM.
- Instead of just an 80/20 split, allow the window manager to support several splits; or, better yet, do not define any arbitrary split presets at all and allow users to slide the divider to wherever they want. It may be prudent to only enable this for users with larger displays.
- Give classic applications a presence in the Metro application switcher. This makes using them - inevitable due to a severe lack of Metro applications - a lot less cumbersome.
- Allow users to snap individual classic applications in the split view, instead of the entire classic desktop as a whole. Again - this makes using them far less cumbersome.
- The Internet Explorer tab bar needs some love - at least gives us an option to make it persistent so we don't have to right-click in an empty area or reach for the keyboard. I would greatly prefer an option to make it smaller, too; if you hit the two rows it moves from ridiculous to batshit insane.
- To further increase the usefulness of Internet Explorer - turn browser tabs into full-fledged Metro citizens, so they can be added to the application switcher. This would also make it possible to snap them.
That's it. Nothing earth-shattering; just some minor suggestions to make Metro better suited for desktop use. It doesn't address all the problems I'm seeing, but certainly the most pressing.

Goju Kenpo was developed by Master Lawrence Hall, in 1988. Goju Kenpo was created from a mixture of seven different traditional martial arts in order to form a practical street efficient self-defense system with self discipline.
1) Goju Shorei; 2) (BKF) American Kenpo; 3) Shotokan; 4) Tae Kwon Do; 5) Okinawan Shorin Ryu; 6) Judo/Jujitsu/Aikido and 7) Escrima/Arnis are the seven different styles that melt together to form the well rounded art of Goju Kenpo. This system has been developed, not to favor any one technique, but to be open-minded to all practical techniques. Each of these seven systems have a great deal to offer in specific areas, however they lack the well-roundedness that would make them applicable in a street, self-defense situation. By combining these various styles along with our scientific teaching applications, we have created a powerfully realistic and effective form of karate. Our combination of 50% hands-50% feet, 50% hard style-50% soft style, with supplements of Judo, Jujitsu, and Akido, assure that the Goju Kenpo practitioners will always have the upper hand and will arise victorious when put to the test.
Most martial arts embrace traditions, and in doing so, lose practicality and efficiency. Goju Kenpo is always evolving and will always remain modern. Goju Kenpo will never become "traditional," although, it has a traditional foundation. Times have changed, and so tradition must be broken. Bruce Lee, one of Master Hall's greatest inspirations, said, "You learn form, to break form." Goju Kenpo has a traditional base from which to build, but also trains the subconscious mind to react in the most efficient manner for the individual. Each person is unique and must be comfortable and confident in how he/she moves in a self-defense situation. A technique that works for one student may not work for another. Two Goju Kenpo students may defend themselves with similar techniques but with different applications which fit their individual personalities and body types. Both are correct and, more importantly, both are effective.
The discipline taught in Goju Kenpo is self-discipline. It is easy to discipline another person. On the other hand, it is not always easy to discipline yourself. Your success in the martial arts are a direct result of your own self-discipline. If you do well or poorly in martial arts, you have no one to blame or thank but yourself; the same applies to everyday life. If you work hard in your Goju Kenpo classes your skill and confidence will increase. If you train halfheartedly, your improvements will be minimal. Goju Kenpo is 10% physical and 90% mental. Anyone can throw a punch. The goal is to throw that punch with maximum speed and power, with correct form every time, and to push yourself to make each one better than the one before. That is the discipline that Goju Kenpo will teach you. As a student of Goju Kenpo, you will learn to set your goals and achieve them, to have confidence in your self, to have respect for yourself and others, and many other attributes that lead to a happier, more successful lifestyle.
Another aspect of Goju Kenpo that separates it from other martial arts systems is that a Goju Kenpo studio is a college of martial arts. They provide basic curriculum in all areas of martial arts training in order to teach students strong basics and open mindedness. As a Goju Kenpo practitioner, we can't make you good at everything, but we can make you great at being you. If the time comes when you are forced to defend yourself, you will have the confidence and the skill to do so effectively, without hesitation.

Veterans in the outdoor-graphics industry discuss how their companies have dealt with changes in the market and how other recent issues, such as the economic recession and the push for sustainability, have impacted their businesses.
By Lori Leaman
MCDANIEL: I believe there are a few challenges for outdoor-graphics providers in the near future. One of them is the ability to stay up on the newest digital printing technology. As soon as you purchase the latest and greatest digital press, there is as new one out right behind it that is faster and offers higher quality. This means that your digital-equipment decisions must be well researched and thought out. Another challenge I feel will be coming on with more strength is the green effect on outdoor graphics. With more corporate push towards green initiatives, this may tighten the amount of signage in this area, since most of the substrates are not exactly green friendly. We need to be able to offer more eco-friendly materials if we want the print spending on outdoor graphics to remain strong.
RENDA: Investing in new equipment as it is developed and learning how to process green materials will continue to be a challenge that faces our industry. We at Art Etc. have decided to expand the scope of our business from strictly a printing business to a display company that also provides screen and digital printing. As I stated, everything we do is with our customer in mind.

Joseph Smith Trusted in Constitutional Rights, Says Elder Oaks
Contributed By By R. Scott Lloyd
Article Highlights
- During Joseph's life fundamental First Amendment rights were defined and regulated by state governments.
- When Joseph ran for president, his platform included an increase in the federal government's ability to ensure justice for all.
- Although Joseph's stance on the role of federal government was controversial at the time, it now is an essential part of America's democracy.
"Joseph Smith's intellectual understanding of the protections afforded by the writ of habeas corpus justifies admiration by any student of the law." —Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve
Related Links
Joseph Smith was "a remarkable man, a great American, and one whom I and millions of our current countrymen honor as a prophet of God," Elder Dallin H. Oaks declared September 23 on the eve of a dramatization in the Illinois state capital of the Prophet's legal contests to resist extradition to Missouri.
Elder Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve spoke on the topic "Behind the Extraditions: Joseph Smith, the Man and the Prophet" in an hour-long address at the Church's Nauvoo Visitors' Center attended by members of the state's legal community and others from Illinois, Utah, and elsewhere.
"This evening's program combines two important topics: habeas corpus and Joseph Smith," noted Elder Oaks, a former law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren and a former Utah Supreme Court justice.
"As a young professor more than 50 years ago at the University of Chicago Law School, I published three law review articles on habeas corpus. But here I will focus primarily on Joseph Smith. I am a lifelong student of his life, his work, and the times in which he lived, especially in Illinois."
Not until the end of the Civil War would the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution begin to be extended to the states, Elder Oaks noted. "Therefore, during Joseph's life, fundamental First Amendment rights like the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech and press only restrained the federal government. During Joseph Smith's lifetime, individual states had to define and regulate such rights at the local level."
Joseph came face-to-face with that reality when he sought help in getting redress for the damages his people had suffered in being driven from Missouri under an extermination order issued by the governor of that state, Elder Oaks said. With his political career rooted in states' rights, U.S. President Martin Van Buren's position was "unfortunately predictable" when he gave his famous response, 'Gentlemen, your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you,'" Elder Oaks observed.
"It was not surprising that when Joseph Smith ran for the U.S. presidency in 1844, one of the planks in his platform was to strengthen the federal government's ability to ensure justice and redress for all citizens and to ensure that the Constitution was applied equally to the states," he said. Controversial though his position was at the time, it ultimately became the law of the land "and a critical component in America's democracy," he added.
It was in the environment of dynamic tension between federal and state governments and the will of the majority while protecting minorities that Joseph lived and guided the Church, Elder Oaks said. "This was a period in which the high promises afforded by the United States Constitution were tested by the often violent actions of frontier people."
The Prophet became a student of the Constitution, he said, and championed it as "a glorious standard … founded in the wisdom of God."
"Joseph Smith's intellectual understanding of the protections afforded by the writ of habeas corpus justifies admiration by any student of the law," Elder Oaks declared.
But Joseph's most lasting contribution to the world comes from the insights he received in his capacity as a prophet, Elder Oaks noted. "Though few people know of Joseph Smith's intellectual statements about the Constitution, millions know and read his revelatory statements about it."
Joseph affirmed by teaching and personal experiences that revelation did not cease with the early Apostles and that it is a reality for everyone, Elder Oaks observed.
"Revelation is the foundation of our Church doctrine and governance, and it is also fundamental to personal conversion, personal decision-making, and the ways we understand and apply the inspired texts we call the scriptures," he explained.
While it is common for critics of the Prophet to label him as "ignorant" due to his lack of access to the learning of his day, perhaps it is time for educated nonbelievers to pose the question a biographer posed about George Washington: "Where did his genius come from?" Elder Oaks said. "I see the answer to that question as revelation from God."
Such revelation led him to teach his people to use the law to fight injustice and to trust in the Constitution, he observed. "And so the people sought redress in the courts. They followed him."
Brief introductory remarks were given by James R. Thompson, Illinois governor from 1977 to 1991, who is now the chair of the Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission. He said:
"The general purpose of these special events, the first of which we'll hear tonight, is to examine historical trials to raise awareness of modern-day issues. Our history guides us, and it can't be separated from current public policy. The law guides us in our everyday lives, and the relationship between law and history is important, not only to study, but even more important to disseminate to the people of our state. Our events today in Nauvoo, tomorrow in Springfield, and next month in Chicago help explain a complex issue, habeas corpus, inherited from the common law in medieval times."
Elder Oaks began his speech on a humorous note as he recalled his first meeting with Governor Thompson. Elder Oaks was a young professor at the University of Chicago Law School appointed by an appellate court to represent a defendant convicted of burglary for breaking a door to obtain something to drink. Mr. Thompson was the prosecutor in the case.
Hoping to impress a panel of apparently uninterested justices, he drew upon the Victor Hugo novel Les Miserables, calling his client "a sort of 20th-century Jean Valjean."
"As Mr. Thompson came to the lectern, the presiding judge, whom I had thought uncomprehending, welcomed the prosecutor with these words: 'I presume you are Monsieur Javert.' "

Veteran commentator Murray Walker, 76, signed a one-year deal with ITV despite earlier insisting he was ready to quit. "I was seriously thinking of jacking it in because I have always wanted to quit while I was ahead," he said. "This will be my 52nd year in the business and I would hate to have people thinking: 'Why doesn't the old fool stop'?" He did just that at the end of the following season.
In one of the sport's more bizarre stories, German prosecutors announced it was possible Michael Schumacher would face charges of the attempted murder of his rival Jacques Villeneuve . Schumacher was penalised by the FIA for ramming Villeneuve in the final grand prix in Spain the previous October, and the prosecutor said the possible charges against him were "attempted murder, inflicting grievous bodily harm, coercion, and driving offences". In the end, and hardly surprisingly, no action was taken.
American driver Pat Flaherty was born in Glendale, California. He competed in six Indy 500 races when it was part of the F1 world championship, but drifted away from competition in the 1960s. He later took up another more sedate form of racing - pigeons! He died in 2002 after a long illness.
American racer Jim Hurtubise died in Port Arthur, Texas. He competed in the 1960 Indy 500 and later in the Winston Cup and ChampCar series. He retired to run a hunting lodge in Texas where he died of a heart attack aged 56.
Dick Rathmann was born in Los Angeles, California. He competed in Indy 500 between 1950 and 1960, recording one pole position in the 1958 race. He retired in the 1960s to Florida to join his racer brother Jim in his successful Chevrolet dealership, until his death in 2000, at the age of 74.

The California Chamber of Commerce and the California Manufacturers & Technology Association, California's leading small business and manufacturing associations, joined California family farmers in opposing efforts to ban biotech crops in California, according to the California Healthy Foods Coalition.
California's small businesses and manufacturers are dependent on the non-agricultural jobs created by California family farms. In addition to being the nation's leading agricultural state for more than 50 years, California's $30 billion agricultural industry supports over 1 million California jobs.
"California is the leading producer and exporter of agricultural products in the United States," said Jack Stewart, president of the California Manufacturers & Technology Association. "California grown crops are responsible for sustaining the thousands of jobs required to package, truck and export California grown products."
"California's economy and jobs climate depend on a strong agricultural economy," said Valerie Nera, director of Agriculture, Water and Privacy for the California Chamber of Commerce. "Thousands of California jobs are supported by the goods and services generated by local family farmers, and it is essential that these family farmers continue to have access to innovative farming practices."
The California Healthy Foods Coalition is a grass roots and public education program that promotes agricultural innovation and the benefits of biotechnology. To learn more about the coalition visit www.feedingthefuture.org.

Samsung has just unveiled the Galaxy SIII - 4.8" 720p SuperAMOLED display, quad-core processor, 8.6mm thick body. Despite the larger display, the SIII isn't much larger than the SII, which is pretty impressive. Samsung also shoved a whole bunch of new features into TouchWiz, including a few quite kitschy sound effects. Ice Cream Sandwich, but TouchWizzed. I personally really dislike the move to curved and rounded designs (still waiting for a perfectly straight, sharp-angled slab), and there's no way in heck I'm buying this thing. Available May 29, all throughout Europe. Asia, Africa, and the US will follow later during the summer. Will sell like hotcakes. Update: Really - why are they doing this to ICS? This reminds me of that Southpark episode with Spielberg and Lucas raping Indiana Jones. We're all seeing it, but nobody's doing something about it.

This date wasn't one of the Mets' most shining moments in their history, but it was memorable nonetheless when Philadelphia's Jim Bunning tossed a perfect game at Shea Stadium on Father's Day, 1964, winning 6-0.
Tracy Stallard, the pitcher who served up Roger Maris' 61st homer three years earlier, was the losing pitcher for the Mets.
Pinch-hitter John Stephenson struck out to end the game. It was Bunning's 10th strikeout.
Lost on that day was in the second game of the doubleheader, Rick Wise beat the Mets on a three-hitter, 8-2.
Bunning, a Hall of Famer and nine-time All-Star, also pitched for Detroit, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles.
Bunning also threw a no-hitter for Detroit, July 20, 1958, over Boston. When he retired after the 1971 season following a second stint with the Phillies, he had 2,855 strikeouts, second on the career list at the time behind Walter Johnson.
Bunning is also the answer to a trivia question, as he was the only pitcher to strike out Ted Williams three times in a single game.
After has retirement, Bunning served as a state senator for Kentucky.
If anybody has any memories of that day, please share them.

Help, suddenly aggressive cat, need pro advice
We have a very friendly year and a half old cat, who is very calm, has all her shots, and lives only indoors. She has not been spayed, but will be this week. While we did not discourage her as much as we should have from play bitting and scratching in the past, she has never genuinely attacked us with the aim of causing harm, nor has she ever broken the skin. She sleeps every night tucked into our necks where she purrs loudly. Two days ago however, when ironically my girlfriend and I were preparing to go to the Toronto zoo, a loud commercial came on, and bizarrely, to entertain my girlfriend I started singing to the commercial, I was also shaking a green bottle over my head like it was a maraca, this action unfortunately sent my cat into a supernaturally fueled aggression. She bit and scratched me through my thick jeans to a point where I thought I would need stitches. She kept coming too, over and over again with a force and strength I did not think possible from such a small animal. The screams and hisses were also unnatural and very loud. Anyway, we left the cat almost immediately and went to the zoo. When we got home she was calm, and cuddled us like she also did, and we fed her, and dismissed the incident as a weird one off. But later that day I went to the fridge and poured myself some ginger ale from the same green bottle, the cat, upon seeing this, flew back into a possessed rage, this time more aggressive than the first. We don't know what to do now, are the any cat behaviorist's that can give some advice?
Well... you definitely startled her, I'm no expert but I imagine she now relates the green bottle to your bizarre behaviour.... (although I got quite a giggle over it! ) You could try putting an empty green bottle on the floor for her to investigate and she may calm down once she sees that they are no threat to her. Good luck!

Well you obviously startled her the first time but since she attacked again when you used normal actions to bring out the bottle, it sounds like she had a green bottle or a bottle of that shape thrown at her or was hit with it, scared in someway with it. I'm not suggesting by you but that's what it sounds like to me, what is her history?
krdahmer has a good suggestion, place an empty green bottle of the same shape on the floor and leave her to investigate. Do not pick her up & put her infront of it or prod her towards it in any way, just let her check it out on her own.

Please do not panic and think you have an evil cat,although I certainly know how incredibly frightening it can be.
I have had several experiences with a frenzied cat myself,hospital-visits and lenghty treatments.
There is always a reason for odd behaviour and I would eliminate the cause,no more green bottle,or if you want to take the chance,let her sniff it to be assured it's no threat.
If you expect her to react violently,please take cover,cat-bites can cause severe infections.
My doctor always asks"Is that cat still alive?"
Sure he is and I love him,but try to avoid what got him in a frenzie in the first place.

Our Specialties
One walk through our hallways and you'll see that our state-of-the-art facility is an indicator of the success of our hospital and our commitment to the success of our patients. Utilizing advanced technologies and innovative new treatments, delivered by top professionals in health care, we strive first to assist patients and help them to a smooth and healthy transition home.
The three levels of care we provide here at Lake Taylor:
Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital offers three levels of care with many specialties all on one campus designed to help patients achieve a smooth and healthy transition home. If you think you or a loved one might benefit from any of Lake Taylor's high-tech, high-touch programs, we encourage you to contact us, because WE CAN help.
It's our mission and our passion.
Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapies are offered at all care levels
1. Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH)
Specialized Treatment for Very Special Needs
A long-term acute care hospital, also known as an LTACH, focuses on patients with complex medical problems and rehabilitation needs that require intense, special treatment for extended periods of time. LTACH services are more appropriate for certain specialized types of care. These patients have had stays in ICU or CCU before transitioning to an LTACH. As an LTACH, Lake Taylor does offer a renowned ventilator liberation unit and a highly regarded pediatric program, but does not have traditional hospital offerings such as emergency rooms or maternity wards.
Learn More
The LTACH is also different than a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) in that LTACH services are more appropriate for certain specialized types of care. When is an LTACH the appropriate choice over an SNF? Lake Taylor is the right choice for patients who:
- Have many concurrent acute illnesses.
- Are recovering from acute illness due to multisystem failures.
- Require care directed by multiple specialists.
- Require a licensed hospital facility.
- Need respiratory therapists on staff 24 hours a day for ventilator services such as weaning and decannulation.
- Require daily physician visits.
- Have complex respiratory-relevant diagnoses.
Ventilator Liberation
Lake Taylor's ventilator weaning success rates are three times the national average. Through a multi-faceted approach to establishing independence, and our ongoing commitment to training and latest advances in respiratory rehab, we have become a resource for referrals from across the nation.
Lake Taylor's Children's Place is located within our LTACH and is a safe haven for our youngest patients. Our interdisciplinary approach provides medical care along with constant cognitive, physical and psychosocial stimulation. An individual plan of care is developed for each patient and may include a unique combination of care and services for those with complex health needs.

2. Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)
Many people don't realize that they may choose where to recover from major medical events such as injuries, surgeries or illnesses. This important decision has long-term implications not just for your eventual recovery but in setting the stage for your health and quality of life after that.
Learn More
Whether you have just had a knee replacement, experienced a cardiac event, or a suffered a debilitating illness and the need specialized care and attention, Lake Taylor is right for you.
Some of the conditions treated are:

3. Traditional Long-Term Care
Our final level of care addresses the needs of patients who require long-term care. Should you find that you can no longer adequately care for a loved one at home, or if distance separates you from someone who may need constant medical care, Lake Taylor CAN help you. For more information about our Long-Term Care Services, please call 757-461-5001, Ext. 475.
At Lake Taylor, Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapies are integral components of each level of care. Our goal for each patient is a successful course of treatment that returns them to the maximum level of independence and fulfillment possible.

Artist's impression of ATV 3, 'Edoardo Amaldi', approaching the Zvezda module on the International Space Station (ISS). The cargo carrier was assisted by a wireless link to the Russian module, referred to as the 'proxy link', and relative GPS measurements. For these, the satellite-based global navigation system position data obtained from the ISS and ATV on-board computers is evaluated and compared; the results are used for making fine adjustments to the position of ATV-3. The Russian KURS radar supports navigation from a distance of about 3.5 kilometres. Over the last 250 metres, an optical sensing system sent laser pulses to four reflectors on the Zvezda module and calculated distance, relative position and approach speed on the basis of the reflected signals. For the final 50 meters, ATV-3 navigated using a video system. The docking manoeuvre took a total of three and a half hours.
ATV 3 is expected to remain docked with the Zvezda module in the International Space Station (ISS) until 27 August 2012. Over the coming months, the space transporter will regularly raise the orbit of the ISS.
Rendezvousing at 28,000 kilometres per hour at an altitude of about 380 kilometres is hardly routine – even for experienced spaceflight engineers and astronauts, which is why applause broke out in the European Space Agency (ESA) Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) Control Centre in Toulouse when the third European space transporter, 'Edoardo Amaldi', docked with the International Space Station (ISS) at 00:31 CEST (22:31 UTC) on 29 March 2012.
"If everything goes to plan, ATV-3 will leave the ISS on 27 August 2012 and burn up during a controlled re-entry into Earth's atmosphere," explains Volker Schmid, Head of the ISS Division at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) Space Administration, who is responsible for coordinating the German contributions to the ESA ATV programme. The third model in the ATV series, named after Italian physicist and space flight pioneer Edoardo Amaldi, was launched six days ago, on 23 March 2012, from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. The 20-ton ATV 3 navigated autonomously and docked with the Space Station automatically. ESA astronaut André Kuipers monitored the process with his colleagues on the ISS.
ATV is the European supply and propulsion spacecraft for the ISS. Compared to its predecessors, 'Jules Verne' (2008) and 'Johannes Kepler' (2011), 'Edoardo Amaldi' has some 600 kilograms of additional payload on board. In total the ATV 3 is bringing almost seven tons of payload to the ISS. "Besides food and clothing, water and air, experiments and medical equipment, this mainly consists of fuel for the Russian Svezda module – which the ATV 3 is docked to – and for the nine planned ISS orbital corrections that will be carried out between now and August," says Schmid. These manoeuvres are necessary at regular intervals to compensate for the ISS being slowed by drag due to the residual atmosphere and the resulting loss of altitude.
From a scientific perspective, the valuable cargo includes a Re-entry Break-up Recorder (REBR). This device will record the accelerations experienced by the ATV 3 during re-entry and will not burn up. Says Volker Schmid: "The recorder will transmit data to a ground station via an Iridium communications satellite during the final flight phase. This will enable us to draw conclusions about the forces exerted on the ATV during re-entry." The ATV 3 has also brought nine experiments and hardware subsystems to the ISS, including two experiment modules for the US space agency, NASA, nine samples for ESA's ALTEA-Shield radiation dosimetry experiment, material for taking samples of human excreta for ESA's ENERGY experiment, replacement electronic components for the BIOLAB laboratory in the European Columbus ISS module and measuring equipment for the NASA VO2max experiment, which deals with changes in lung capacity during weightlessness. ATV 3 also carried a special fluid-management pump to the ISS, which is part of a system that the astronauts can use to convert urine into drinking water.
'Edoardo Amaldi' consists of a propulsion module with four main engines and 28 small thrusters for attitude control, an avionics module with the electronics required for the mission, and the integrated cargo space. It has docked directly with the Zvezda module and will gradually be emptied by the astronauts on board the space station over the coming months. The docking itself took around three and a half hours to complete, and was carried out using four optical sensors over the final 250 metres prior to docking. Laser pulses were directed at reflectors on the Zvezda module, in order to measure the distance, relative position and approach speed. ATV 3 first came to a halt some 40 kilometres behind the ISS before slowly approaching the Space Station.
