Kenyon Leech Butterfield Papers
An agricultural and educational reformer born in 1868, Kenyon Butterfield was the ninth president of Massachusetts Agricultural College and one of the university's most important figures. An 1891 graduate of Michigan Agricultural College and recipient of MA in Economics and Rural Sociology from the University of Michigan (1902), Butterfield entered university administration early in his career, becoming President of the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1903 and, only three years later, of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Possessed of a Progressive spirit, Butterfield revolutionized the college during his 18 years in Amherst, expanding and diversifying the curriculum, quadrupling the institutional budget, fostering a dramatic increase in the presence of women on campus and expanding the curriculum, and above all, helping to promote the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 and developing the Cooperative Extension Service into a vital asset to the Commonwealth. Nationally, he maintained a leadership role in the field of rural sociology and among Land Grant University presidents. After leaving Amherst in 1924, Butterfield served as President at Michigan Agricultural College for four years and was active in missionary endeavors in Asia before retiring. He died at his home in Amherst on Nov. 25, 1936.
The Butterfield Papers contain biographical materials, administrative and official papers of both of his presidencies, typescripts of his talks, and copies of his published writings. Includes correspondence and memoranda (with students, officials, legislators, officers of organizations, and private individuals), reports, outlines, minutes, surveys, and internal memoranda.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Consumers know time is a commodity too, like ball bearings and Barbie dolls. So when they're doing their holiday shopping or are online looking for a good deal on gifts, they don't want to wait or find problems completing a purchase, and they expect fair treatment from retailers. With the average American adult expected to spend $749 on the holidays this year (including gifts, decorations and parties and social gatherings), that "time is a commodity, too" theme gains particular relevance. Exhibit "A" is a report out from software giant Oracle ( ORCL) that says 81% of shoppers would pay extra for superior customer service. What's more, 44% of shoppers say they would pay a premium of 5% or more to get that superior service. The study of 1,400 shoppers across Europe, conducted in June, shows that so-called consumer "brands" are overrated and that shoppers would ditch one brand for another in a nanosecond if they thought they could get better customer service. At the very least, consumers don't seem to define "brands" solely by price or even by quality, although both issues are important to customers. What could tip the balance in consumer buying decisions these days seems to be good old-fashioned customer service. Or as Oracle puts it, the "customer experience." "Getting customer experience right can help increase revenue and win customers away from competing organizations," says Danny Rippon, CRM business solutions director at Oracle. "By creating a consistent and connected experience across all points of customer contact -- including the increasingly important social channel -- businesses can clearly differentiate themselves. "As an absolute fundamental, businesses must ensure that their customer experience systems can support fulfillment and service to the extent demanded by consumers, while at all times making it as simple as possible for them to interact with the brand," he adds. "This is the key both to winning new customers and retaining them for the long-haul." Asked how they would spend more cash with a particular retailers, consumers cited the following:
- 40% said they would spend more for an improved "overall customer experience."
- 35% said they would do more business with companies that handled their questions better.

Lester opened with three balls and a walk, but settled down quickly. Four strikeouts in the first two innings. Excellent curveball and changeup. He allowed only two hits, both in the fourth, when a sac fly brought in a run for the Rays. Lester's line: 7-2-1-1-4, 97.
Kazmir (6-4-0-3-8, 94) kept the Sox off the board for six innings. The team had no real rally until the bottom of the ninth.
Al Reyes got a gift strikeout of Manny (the pitch was both low and inside). Lowell crushed a high 2-0 fastball to deep left to tie the game 1-1. Youkilis was caught looking (on an actual strike three) before Varitek lined a ground-rule double (7-pitch AB) into the right field corner. Crisp (another 7-pitch AB) lined a single to right field. Young's throw from right was weak and up the first base line and Tek slid in safely with the game-winner.
5 GA. Magic #: 39.
Scott Kazmir (3.58, 128 ERA+) / Jon Lester (6.43, 70 ERA+)
Jon Lester will make his first start at Fenway Park in almost a year (August 18, 2006 against the Yankees).
After a strong performance against Cleveland on June 23, Lester has slumped: four runs in 6.2 innings (Tampa), four runs in five innings (Seattle) and five runs in 3.1 innings (Angels). "For some reason, the last couple of starts, I've been getting away from fastball command on strike one and it's really hurt me."
Julio Lugo is 10-for-20 in his last five games, with three doubles and six RBIs. In his last 11 games, he's hitting .378 (17-for-45).
Kazmir has allowed only one run in his last 19 innings. ... Tampa Bay is 2-17 at Fenway since July 19, 2005. ... Boston has 44 games to play -- 11 of them are against the Devil Rays.

Well-heeled eBay bidders have a chance to buy a piece of Holocaust history. "Schindler's List"—the actual list of names, not the 1993 movie of the same name—is up for auction on eBay.
The list is named for German businessman Oskar Schindler, who compiled the 801 names of workers he deemed essential for his enamel factory, thus sparing them from concentration camps.
Only four original lists are known to exist, including the one up for auction that is described as 14 onion-skin pages long. But owning such an extraordinary piece of history will come at a whopping cost: The starting price is $3 million.
California collectors Gary Zimet and Eric Gazin, who are running the auction, told the New York Post they hope it goes to $5 million. The auction, which started on Wednesday and ends July 28, had no bids as of late Friday morning.
"Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history that has inspired many on the difference one person can make in the face of great danger," the auction site reads.
The site adds, "This exceedingly rare original Schindler's List is the only one ever on the market. It emanates from the family of Itzhak Stern, Schindler's accountant and right hand man (played by Ben Kingsley in the Academy Award-winning film). There are 3 others known which are in institutional hands. It is 14 pages in length and lists 801 male names, dated April 18, 1945. It is guaranteed authentic."
"We decided to sell the list on eBay because it has over 100 million worldwide members, and this is a global story," Gazin, president of AuctionCause.com, told the Post."There are billionaires using the site, wealthy celebrities. We like the platform."
"The list was typed out by Itzhak Stern, and this version was sold by Stern's nephew, Nathan Stern, to a collector, who now wishes to sell it.The winning bidder—who will have to pay $10,000 down payment and then pay up within a week—will receive an affidavit from Stern testifying to its authenticity," according to the Post.
A copy of the list also can be seen for free at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

- Boulder meteorologist: Sunday's snowstorm likely to be biggest of season
While shoveling the snow is one more chore for most homeowners, for hundreds of Colorado's elderly a heavy snowfall like Sunday's can be a huge obstacle.
Enter Snow Buddies.
Snow Buddies, a program run through Volunteers of America, matches able-bodied volunteers with residents 60 and over living in Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson Counties.
When snowfall reaches the two-inch mark, the volunteers — assigned to their "buddies" — take to walkways and driveways to clear snow.
The program was created to help the elderly prevent slips and falls, the program also ensures the seniors avoid fines for not clearing snow from their sidewalks, said Jim White, VOA's director of community affairs
Snow Buddies has been in place for several years and this is now a waiting list and a need for more volunteers, White said.
"It takes a snow event like this for people to get fired up about helping," White said. "The last two winters, we've been all set and ready to go with the program and then we get no snow."
About 100 seniors are currently enrolled, and the waiting list stands at about 100 more.
Jim Neubaum has been volunteering with the program since it started five years ago.
Neubaum shovels three people's walks within a mile of his house. The 60-year-old retiree said his motivation to pitch in was boosted by the actions of friends and neighbors checking in and helping his widowed father in Illinois.
"I feel like it's good to help out older people in the community and people who need a little assistance," said Newbaum. "For me, it's a way of paying back the world. At least I'm helping sombody whose kids may be far away and not able to help them."
The VOA tries to match pairs who live in close proximity.
"We're not going to make you drive to the other side of town to do this, because the given is that you're going to be driving through 5-10 inches of snow," said White. "That's one of the reasons why we have a waiting list. We have people who need help, but we just don't have any volunteers near their home."
White also said this week's Meals on Wheels deliveries, another VOA program, could be affected by the storm. The program doesn't operate on Sundays, but storm and road conditions could hinder Monday's deliveries.
"All these meals are delivered by volunteers, so that makes it rough on a day like tomorrow to ask someone to, out of the goodness of their heart, go out and do this," White said. "But we do give everyone a 'blizzard box' stocked with four days worth of food that they're supposed to put away and save."
White has two "buddies" of his own for whom he shovels.
"People really do need help," White said. "So whether you sign up and become someone's 'snow buddy' officially, or just knock on the door where you know an elderly person lives, people need help. Especially in a storm like this."

adrianus wrote:Thanks, Lucus. I appreciate what you say, truly. I'm just writing, though, in accordance with L&S and OLD.
OLD says Accius and some others occasionally favour scena but scaena is more classical Latin, due to a vowel shift from the Greeks caused by the Etruscans. L&S go further and say scena is used "falsely", and "scaena" is correct.
L&S favour "plaudere" and put "plodere" into second place classically. OLD is this time the more severe and says "plaudere" is correct and "plodere" is "dubious".
You used to favour Classical usage and argued vehemently against modern alterations, and not that long ago.
I don't agree with your experiments in English spelling, but I know where you're coming from, although I would object if you suggested everyone else would be better writing "exsist" for "exist", say.

Cost of Non-Compliance
In my last entry, I mentioned how a former boss decided that it would save the company big bucks if we just required people not to make bugs in hardware and software. While it is hard to argue against that point, it is equally hard to figure out how you'd actually make that happen.
When I'm selecting tools to work with, having a debugger is a pretty important part of the package. The ARM setup I've been building the last few weeks is no exception. I connected an Olimex JTAG adapter to the board. It is a shame, but the board doesn't have a dedicated JTAG adapter. A few solderless breadboard connections made short work of it, though.
The Olimex device has a standard JTAG DIP footprint and one side of it (the side furthest from the adapter's body; even number pins) is ground and supply voltage (on pin 2). I left pin 2 empty and just grounded one of the other pins. On the other side, I connected the wires like this:
That's it for the hardware. The JTAG interface plugs into a USB port.
The software to run the JTAG interface is OpenOCD. The listings from last week contain .openocd.cfg that tells the software how to find the JTAG interface and the details about the processor. At the start of that file are two lines that control how the server will talk to the rest of the world:
telnet_port 4444 gdb_port 3333
You can directly telnet into the JTAG server and do certain things, but that is largely unsatisfying. The real thing of interest is that you can set it to be a gdb remote host using the port indicated (3333, in this case). You simply start the debugger on your elf file and then issue commands like this:
target remote :3333 cont
This, of course, leaves you at the mildly uninteresting
gdb command prompt. I am typically not a big fan of GUIs, but debugging is one of those things where a nice interface makes sense. If you build your own toolchain, you can get Insight — the GUI-based GDB — to work. I always seem to have some version mismatches with Tk though and so my experience has been spotty. There are, however, a few other ways you can approach your debugging.
For one thing,
gdb supports a
-tui flag that give you an old-style "curses" interface. The downside is it is text-based, but the upside is it is functional and runs fast even on a slow old system or bad network connection.
Since I am not particularly GUI-happy, that actually suits me fine. But I know many people will turn their noses up at it since it isn't a pretty resizable window. That's OK. There are a few options there, too. Of course, if you use Eclipse, it integrates nicely with
gdb. You can also use
ddd, which is a nice graphical tool that can show your data in interesting ways.
The only issue is that
ddd expects to use the system default copy of
gdb. Luckily, it lets you override that on the command line:
ddd –debugger arm-none-eabi-gdb
After that, it is simple to use the regular
gdb command to connect to the OpenOCD server since
ddd provides a console for entering
gdb commands. I haven't tried it, but
kdbg lets you specify the path to the copy of
gdb it uses in its settings, so that should work as well.
Over the last few weeks, I've built up a development system for the ST ARM processor. The ETT ST-ARM Stamp and the Olimex JTAG adapter cost well under $100. I picked up free software tools. I wound up with pretty much everything you need to do C development on a powerful 32-bit processor that would have seemed like a supercomputer back when Dr. Dobb's first started. This is a good time to be an embedded systems developer!

CARLISLE — The Greencastle-Antrim boys' basketball team lost back-to-back games for the first time this season on Wednesday, falling to Carlisle 64-52.
Coming off last Saturday's loss against Chambersburg as part of the Dunks for Drew event, the Blue Devils (16-5) trailed 44-31 entering the fourth quarter before cutting the deficit to four with less than two minutes remaining.
The Thundering Herd (12-10) was ultimately able to stave off G-A's comeback effort, sealing the 12-point win from the free throw line in the closing moments.
"We just didn't play well enough to win the game," G-A head coach Gary Martin said. "We had it to four late in the fourth, but we just made too many mental mistakes against a quality opponent. I was happy with our effort to climb back into it, but it wasn't one of our better games."
Zach Faulkner led all scorers with a game-high 20 points in the loss followed by 14 from Joel Zola.
Carlisle posted three players in double figures, including Jordan Neff (12 points), J.D. Hughes (11) and Josh Clippinger (10).
Wednesday's contest wrapped up G-A's regular-season schedule, with the Blue Devils' attention now turning to the District 3-AAA playoffs.
Prior to last night's outcome, G-A was ranked 7th in the Class AAA Power Ratings that had been updated through Tuesday.
As of 9 a.m. Thursday, District 3 had not released its final set of rankings, which will determine the first-round pairings. If the Blue Devils remain in the top-8, which they should, they will host a first-round game on either Feb. 19 or 20.
"We are definitely hoping to stay in the top 8," Martin explained. "We're going to take some time off, probably through the weekend, and then try to schedule a scrimmage sometime next week to stay fresh."
Carlisle also won Wednesday's junior varsity game, 44-32.
Cody Green paced the Blue Devils with 15 points.

TAUNTON — Police said a 48-year-old man found dead in his apartment Friday morning appears to have died from a heroin overdose.
"It's consistent with a heroin overdose," Taunton police Chief Edward Walsh said, referring to items found inside the 168 Winthrop St. apartment.
Walsh would not confirm if police found heroin at the scene.
The victim, Glenn M. Draper, was pronounced dead at the scene and transported to the state medical examiner's office Cape Cod facility in Sandwich, police said.
If heroin is determined to have been the cause of death, Draper will have been the sixth person this year to have died from a heroin overdose, according to officials.
Terrel Harris, spokesman for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety, said it is impossible to predict how long it will take before a cause of death can be determined.
"Unless something is very obvious there is no way to say. There is a lot of science involved," Harris said.
He added that medical examiners try to conduct an autopsy within 24 hours of the arrival of each dead body.
Taunton first responders, including police, firefighters and ambulance EMTs, have been struggling to keep up with a steady stream of heroin-related overdoses. There have been 68 reported overdoses in the Silver City since Jan. 1, according to police.
Authorities say a potent strain of heroin, sometimes cut with a strong painkiller called Fentanyl, may be fueling the uptick in ODs and deaths.
Taunton has also become known as a place where heroin can be bought cheap. Police have said some dealers are charging as little as $7 or less for a single, small bag.

NucleoMag 96 Trace is designed for the purification of DNA from forensic samples (e.g., buccal swabs, dried blood spots, cigarette filters). After lysis of the sample, genomic DNA is selectively bound to the NucleoMag Beads. Contaminants are washed away and the DNA can be eluted from the beads under low-salt conditions. Since the magnetic bead technology provides a closed system (no transfer of sample from one well to another is necessary during the preparation), the risk of cross-contamination is reduced. The NucleoMag technology can be easily adapted to common laboratory automation platforms. It can be used either with static-pin separators (e.g., NucleoMag SEP) or magnetic separators integrated into robotic workstations. For more information on adapting any NucleoMag product to your workstation, please contact your local distributor or MN directly.
Typically, 96 samples can be purified in less than 120 minutes on common automation platforms. The kit typically yields 1–3 µg genomic DNA in an elution volume of >50 µl at a concentration of 10–30 ng/µl. The purified DNA is ready to use for PCR, Southern blotting, and any enzymatic reactions.

Thanks. I see that now. I had them declared at one point because I wrote the code a little different at first and had the display like..
cout << "\nYour toll is " << m << endl;
The statements are that way because I cant think of how to simplify it. And the prof example was like that with the lower case and uppercase. But if you can give me a hint on how to simplify it, that would be cool.
I will work on taking advantage of the debugger. I have so far been trying to decipher what the compiler log error spits out.
I'm also trying to figure out how to make it where if the user doesnt enter in the letter properly, that the default toll would be 15.00

Everything about this year�s Boston Marathon seemed bigger � more media, more runners, more security.
At the start line, the air crisp in the morning but warm with the afternoon sun, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, U.S. Marshals, Homeland Security agents, regional SWAT teams and National Guardsmen combed through the vast crowd of spectators and runners, their eyes darting everywhere. Snipers gazed down at the town common from atop the Middlesex Savings Bank.
Along the Marathon route, past the first mile indicator and into Ashland, state and local police lined both sides of road.
As one East Main Street resident put it minutes after a Marathon official wanded and patted her down at a security checkpoint, �I feel like we�re in a militarized zone.�
�Everything has changed,� the woman added.
Cambridge resident Meredith Unger was ready to have a much different vantage point Monday from the one she had at last year�s Boston Marathon, when she was in the stands on Boylston Street when the bombs went off.
�It was just utter confusion,� she said. �Thank God I was across the street.�
But those explosions � or more precisely the city�s response to them � �is why I�m running today,� Unger, 35, said, as she took in a view of the starting line in Hopkinton hours before her fourth wave would queue up on Main Street.
Another obvious change from last year�s race was the proliferation of vendors on the Hopkinton Town Common selling apparel emblazoned with �Boston Strong� and other variations of the ubiquitous slogan.
�It�s been really good,� Hopkinton resident Samantha Dwyer of vendor 4K said of sales of shirts, wristbands, and head bracelets, a quarter of the proceeds of which the company pledged to donate to the One Fund. �We got off to a slow start, but it�s picked up.�
Five-year-old Caroline Kelly of Hopkinton held a sign off Ash Street that read: �Runners: Hopkinton is proud of you!�
�She is in the Hopkinton track club for kids in the summer and she wanted to come out and cheer them on,� her father Mark Kelly said. They go to the race every year, he said.
Hundreds of trash bags full of discarded clothing will be donated to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters. Volunteer Tom Finnell of Bellingham said typically they fill four box trucks full of donations each. This year there were 10, he said.
�This is the most I�ve ever seen,� he said. He�s volunteered with clothing collection for seven years.
Hopkinton Town Clerk Geri Holland was seen volunteering at Athletes� Village before the start of the race. She�s been volunteering for the Boston Athletic Association or the 26.2 Foundation on Marathon Monday each year since 1997.
�Everyone is very energetic and very aware of all the events that happened last year and they are mindful of that,� she said. �But for the most part it is pretty normal.�
Peter Mundy of Natick returned to microphone at the Athletes� Village offering announcements, a little humor and tributes to last year�s bombings.
�Nobody is going to prevent us from doing this year after year,� he told the runners.
While many spectators donned Boston Strong shirts and flags on Marathon Monday, a group of 20 people in Ashland had a slightly different take on the slogan.
Sheila Watnick lives on Rte. 135 and brought together a group of friends and colleagues six years ago to form�a cheering squad.
Each year the group has a theme. In past years the group has had international, patriotic and baseball themes. Wearing t-shirts in the town�s blue and red, this year�s theme was Ashland Strong.
�It�s a wonderful show of support,� said team member and Framingham resident Dan Rao.
Compared to past years, Rao says people seemed more excited and determined.
�We�re not going to have a couple of guys destroy our event,� he said.
Spectators in downtown Framingham supported runners while rocking out to bands playing as part of the town�s celebratory �MarathonFest and Six Mile Moment.�
Russ and Joy Mannone came from Baltimore to root for their daughter-in-law, Sara, who lives in North Carolina and qualified for her first Boston Marathon.
The couple said they were proud to be here and to see everyone �pulling together.�
�Even though Boston beat the Orioles yesterday, we�re still Boston strong today,� Russ Mannone said.
Carol Boney, visiting from Texas, saw her first Boston Marathon with tears in her eyes.
�We can�t get over the number of people, it�s just spectacular,� she said.
Fans held signs, balloons - even giant inflatable bananas - to catch the eye of runners they supported.
For the past 40 years, former Natick resident Laura Balcom has spent Patriots� Day in the same spot in front of the shopping plaza at the intersection of Rte. 135 and Mill Street cheering on and high-fiving the runners.
The tradition continued Monday, as Balcom, who now lives in Millis, was joined by her sister Amy Curley, of Natick, and Colleen Page, of Millis, to encourage the athletes.
�Ever since I was five, I have been coming to this spot,� said Balcom. �The cheering is the best part. We love giving high-fives.�
Unlike many of the spectators lined up along Rte. 135 Monday, Balcom, Curley and Page did not know anyone running the race, but were in place in front of the shopping center at the intersection of Rte. 135 and Mill Street nearly an hour before the race started.
�We never know anybody running,� said Page, who noted her favorite part of the day is seeing the non-elite athletes push through the race.
Not far down Rte. 135, Natick�s Karen Stasel was living in Atlanta, when the 1996 Olympic bombings occurred and said the patriotic scene in Atlanta shortly after the bombings mimicked the one along the route Monday as many residents were clad in red, white and blue hats and shirts.
Stasel marveled at the determination of the elite and non-elite runners, helping them power through Natick with cheers and well wishes.
�I�m an avid fitness enthusiast and I could never dream about doing what they do,� she said. �It�s amazing how much they train.�
The Frame Shop and Gallery in Natick was selling Marathon posters from the 1990s and 2000s while Gary Stucchi of Stucchi Jewelers is making pendants for the Marathon.
The pendants feature the Boston skyline, the words "Boston Run Strong", and 118 for the 118th Boston Marathon.
Stucchi is donating $100 from the $150 pendants to charities started as a result of the Marathon bombings.
He is making 118 pendants that he signs and are numbered. He plans to make another unsigned and unnumbered version that will cost $99 once the first 118 are gone. He said he hopes through both versions to raise collectively $25,000 for Marathon-related charities.
�The whole inspiration for this was just to sort of celebrate the human spirit and how we bounced back after tragedy and how we�ve all come together and we�re running stronger than ever,� Stucchi said.
Lorna Ruby, who works at Wellesley Books, was impressed with what she saw along the course.
"There's a big sense of community here and it was nice to see the extra security," Ruby said. She added that she saw Dick and Rick Hoyt go by, which was moving. "There's no way I could do what they're doing."
Kate Danner, of Norwood, waited to see her friend Matt Brown at the Scream Tunnel. Brown, who was racing in a wheelchair, was being pushed by former Army Ranger Lucas Carr. Danner said she was proud of Brown.
"He's such an amazing kid," Danner said.
Wellesley College seniors Kristina Bracero and Laura Yan were watching the Marathon in Wellesley near the Scream Tunnel. Both women were studying abroad last year when the bombs went off, but wanted to�make sure they were present this year.
�It�s my favorite day of the year,� Bracero said, adding that they were there to offer encouragement to the runners and cheer them on.
�We want to make it the best one ever,� Yan said.
The�most obvious change in Newton was the rope separating spectators from racers, which didn't detract from the experience for most spectators.
While the K9 units and military helicopters were regular reminders of the increased security, authorities were lax about enforcing the prohibition on crossing the course until the runner traffic got heavy around noon.
Locals found ways around the prohibition on large blankets, coolers and backpacks in order to bring plenty of food and drink to the course. There were plenty of tables of food and drink, many covered under tents.
Once the athletes started streaming past the statue of Johnny Kelley at the base of the Newton Hills, the crowds focus was where it always is -�on the runners, looking for friends or anyone who needs a little cheering to help them up the hill.
�It�s busy, but it�s all been routine,� Newton Fire Chief Bruce Proia said in a phone call around 1 p.m. on Monday from the city�s emergency operations center at fire headquarters.
Proia said there had been several unattended bags found along the route and a handful of medical calls, but things were largely quiet.
A surge of patriotism pervaded the race�s finish line Monday, as runners cheered� �Meb� Keflezighi�s earlier victory.
�Now I can retire,� said Dan Richard of Attelboro, who has run more than 20 Boston Marathons.
�I started in 1983, when the last American (man)�Greg Meyer won,� he said. �I said I wasn�t going to stop until an American won (again).�
Richard finished in just about 4:30, his daughter Jen Richard of San Diego at his side.
�When I crossed the finish line, they said my name and that I was from the same hometown (as Keflezighi),� said Jen Richard, who, like her dad, wore a �Boston Strong� T-shirt featuring an American flag as well as patriotic pants.
While many running the Marathon this year were repeat customers, this was the first time for Marty Szigety of West Plains, Mo.
�I�m 64 years old and I ran it all the way,� said a smiling Szigety, who finished in just under 4 hours. �Heartbreak Hill was a doozie.�
A common theme this year was first-time runners who were motivated to participate after last year.
Chicago native Tiffany Pienta, 26, was waiting in the stands for several friends, but mostly her boyfriend, Dan Fornanski, a Chicago police officer who was running with other officers from Boston.
Pienta said her boyfriend, who has never ran the Boston Marathon before, has several friends in the Boston Police Department.
�He wanted to support them after last year,� she said.
LaRanne Kastelen, 37, of Salt Lake City, Utah, was waiting for�more than�20 of her friends to finish.
She said a number of her friends finished last year before the bombs exploded.
�I was there with my family last year,� she said. �There�s so much energy in the crowd this year.�
The Farina family from Cambridge has spent 20 years patrolling the VIP stands every Marathon Monday.
�It's family fun - security style,� said Michele Farina, as she made sure people stayed on the bleachers and away from the barriers.
It was Farina�s first year working as a volunteer, but she was alongside her two uncles, her aunt, her sister and her cousins, who have been carrying on the tradition of volunteering for two decades. In total, seven Farinas work as volunteers in that one section of the course.
�They were right here last year,� said Farina of her family members. �It was a shock to know the bombs went off right where they were and then we couldn't reach them, but everyone was OK. They all decided to come back.�

"Beverly Hills Cop" will apparently be spending more time back home in Detroit, as officials announced the state of Michigan has approved $13.5 million in incentives for the local filming of the fourth installment of Eddie Murphy's franchise.
Why don't we just pay for every 80s star to get plastic surgery and start the decade over? Because apparently no one has any more good ideas for these old people.
Yes, Murphy will return to his role as Axel Foley, with Brett Ratner directing and Jerry Bruckheimer producing for Paramount Pictures, according to the Michigan Film Office.
According to the Associated Press, the state estimates filmmakers will spend $56.6 million in Michigan and employ about 352 workers in the state. The movie will reportedly come out in March 2016.
"We are excited to welcome Axel Foley and the 'Beverly Hills Cop' franchise back to Michigan," film office director Margaret O'Riley said in a statement. "This project will highlight locations throughout metro Detroit that speak to the city's heritage while making significant investments in the community by hiring Michigan workers and local businesses."
Maybe Ted Nugent could be the bad guy. He could save the production millions in gun costs.
In the next chapter, Foley leaves his job as a Beverly Hills police detective "during the coldest winter on record to navigate the new rules and old enemies in one of America's most tenacious cities," the film office said.
In 1984, Murphy starred in the first "Beverly Hills Cop," which was that year's top-grossing movie in North America at $235 million. Sequels followed in 1987 and 1994.

State Rep. Nancy Jenkins on Thursday called for the Michigan Department of Civil Rights to withdraw its federal complaint regarding schools using Native American imagery as mascots and logos.
Local schools, as well as the state Board of Education and Michigan Department of Education, were given little to no notice before the complaint was filed, said a news release from Jenkins' office.
The complaint asks for the use of Native American names, mascots, slogans, chants and imagery in K-12 schools receiving federal funding to be banned.
"Putting our local schools' education funding at risk without even trying to work out the potential issue locally is irresponsible and thoughtless of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights," Jenkins, R-Clayton, said in the news release. "Before taking such drastic action, the department should have brought their concerns to the school districts, where the issue should be addressed. I urge the department to withdraw their complaint and handle this concern properly."
Jenkins represents most of Lenawee County, including two school districts named in the state's complaint, Tecumseh and Clinton. Tecumseh's nickname is the Indians; Clinton's is the Redskins.
The state filed its complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights last week. The complaint says research shows the use of those mascots and imagery causes "actual harm" to American Indian students by lowering self-esteem and impacting student achievement. It says such imagery creates an unequal learning environment in violation of the federal 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Other state lawmakers have also called on the state Department of Civil Rights to withdraw the complaint.
Republican state Sen. Bruce Caswell of Pittsford, who represents Lenawee County in the state Senate, has no comment on the complaint, said Caswell spokesman David Marvin.

Red Sox - 010 001 000 000 0 - 2 7 1Takashi Saito was in his second inning of work, having thrown 29 pitches. Tampa Bay had the potential winning run at third base with two outs in the bottom of the 13th. Evan Longoria was up.
Rays - 000 000 110 000 2 - 4 9 1
Terry Francona decided to pitch to him. Longoria crushed Saito's 1-0 pitch to deep left for a rays win. And the Red Sox bullpen, which escaped from serious jams in the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth innings (!!!), finally ran out of luck.
For Longoria, it was his second home run of the night. His solo shot off Daniel Bard to begin the eighth tied the game at 2-2. He had struck out four times, but that was no excuse to pitch to him in the ninth. Saito could have put Longoria on and pitched to Ben Zobrist or loaded the bases and dealt with Joe Dillon. (Clay Buchholz had begun warming up in the 12th, as the Sox had run out of relievers. I'm a little surprised Saito came out for the 13th at all.)
Boston had no offense to speak off. Its two runs came via leadoff solo dongs -- from Kevin Youkilis in the second and Dustin Pedroia in the sixth. The only real sustained scoring threat of the entire game came in the tenth, when with the bases loaded with one out, Pedroia grounded into a double play.
The Yankees topped Toronto 5-3, so the Red Sox are now 1.5 GB.
Nearly two-thirds of the team's remaining 58 games (36 or 62%) are against teams currently .500 or better.
August could be a tough month for the Red Sox, who are currently 0.5 GB the Yankees and 4.5 GA of the Rays. After this two-game series with Tampa Bay, Boston plays four at the Yankees (1st in AL East), hosts the Tigers (1st in AL Central) for four, then visits Texas (2nd in AL West) and Toronto. Then it's back home for three against the Yankees and four against the White Sox (2nd in AL Central). After three-game sets against the Blue Jays and Rays, it's four more in Chicago.
Tim Wakefield, who turned 43 on Sunday, may need a second cortisone shot to deal with a sciatic problem that has spread to his left calf. He had been scheduled to throw off a mound this week, but that may be postponed.
I'm just depressed that this isn't progressing the way I want it to progress. I'm throwing, playing catch. There are different symptoms now. I've got zero strength in my left calf due to the nerve. I'm just waiting for it to get better.Jacoby Ellsbury has had multiple hits in seven of his last nine games.

LONGMONT -- Hundreds of bundled-up area residents, many of them veterans themselves, lined downtown Longmont's Main and Coffman streets on a chilly November Saturday morning to watch the 2012 edition of the city's annual Veterans Day Parade.
An F-16 flyover preceded the parade's 11:11 a.m. start by about 15 minutes.
"We could hear it," parade announcer Ralph Bozella told onlookers, but because of the morning's low-hanging clouds, "we couldn't see them."
Two of the people who showed for the event -- one they said they've rarely missed since they moved to the Longmont area in 1984 -- were World War II veteran Jim Whitley and his wife, Betty.
The 88-year-old Whitley, who wore a "D-Day Survivor" cap on Saturday, landed on Utah Beach with the U.S. Army's 531st Engineer Shore Regiment on June 6, 1994.
"I wasn't a foot soldier. I operated heavy equipment," said Whitley, adding that he comes to the annual parade "to honor those who have gone.
Whitley said that "we didn't lose many" in his own unit, but those who gave their lives in that war -- and all the nation's conflicts since then -- "need to be remembered."
Whitley said he was also there Saturday to silently "condemn all wars."
Another parade-goer, 71-year-old Air Force veteran Larry Polsdofer, served from 1959 to 1964, part of that time working on and training others in the use of radar systems on such aircraft as the F-4C Phantom fighter.
"I kind of questioned whether I'd come today," Polsdofer said, because of the threatening weather. But he joked that by sitting at a patio table outside Mike O'Shays, "if I get too cold I can go inside and get some hot chocolate."
Rain and snow held off, however, until after the parade concluded.
"It waited until we got done," said parade chairman Jim Mauck of VFW Post 2601, the Longmont post that sponsored this year's parade.
Mauck, along with many of the veterans who marched or rode in the parade -- or who watched it from downtown sidewalks -- adjourned afterward to American Legion Post 32, which hosted a free lunch for parade participants.
Mauck's verdict: "It was a good parade. It seems to grow every year, and it's almost as big as the one in Denver."
He said Longmont "does a good job" of honoring and recognizing both its veterans and the men and women serving now.
Those who did brave the cold were treated to more than 45 parade units, including several area high schools' marching bands playing patriotic music and military anthems.
Among the units and marchers were members of Longmont's VFW and American Legion posts, the American Legion Riders, several Longmont City Council members, the Daughters of the American Revolution, Disabled American Veterans, the Veterans of the St. Vrain Valley School District, the Navy Seabee Veterans of America, the T-Bird Club, the Top of the Rockies Corvette Association, the Military Order of the Purple Heart, World War II Widows, Longmont B.P.O.E. and the Rocky Mountain Thunderbird Club.
This year's Veterans Day Parade marshal was decorated Vietnam and Korean war veteran Ed Day.

Calling the deal "historic," baseball commissioner Bud Selig has announced an agreement on a labor contract that averted a strike threatened for later Friday.
"There is no strike," said Atlanta pitcher Tom Glavine, the National League player representative.
Selig said he's hoping the deal will "restore competitive balance." He pointed out this is the first time since 1972 that players and owners had reached an agreement in collective bargaining without a work stoppage.
At a news conference with Selig, Union head Don Fehr said, "All streaks come to an end, and this was one that was overdue to come to an end." Fehr said he's extremely happy that a deal has been reached.
Fehr said the new agreement will give players and owners a chance to bring some stability to baseball that it hasn't had in a long time and return the game to the fans.
Owners gained their most significant concessions in 26 years with a luxury tax and new revenue-sharing plan, but they also agreed not to eliminate teams through the 2006 season. Owners had attempted to fold the Montreal Expos and Minnesota Twins after last season but were stopped by Minnesota courts.
Selig and Fehr attended a morning bargaining session that wrapped up the agreement, which averted the sport's ninth work stoppage since 1972.
No agreement had been signed, but the four-year deal was expected to be ratified by both sides within a week.
The deal was reached with little time to spare, about 3 1/2 hours before Friday's first game, between St. Louis and Chicago at Wrigley Field.
As the hours dwindled, lawyers had shuttled between the commissioner's office and union headquarters, crunching numbers and exchanging revised proposals.
Two lawyers from each side bargained until 2 a.m. before the sides broke for caucuses. Players gave owners a proposal during a 20-minute meeting that began at 4 a.m., and owners responded with a counteroffer about 6:30 a.m. The union returned with a response at 9:15 a.m.
The final meeting, which completed talks that began in January, lasted almost three hours. As soon as it ended, teams started heading to ballparks.

Thank you, Tom.
Thank you, Tom.
I've only met you once, at the ao norcal vs. socal meet a year ago. Nonetheless, thank you for everything you've done for the sport. Sad to see you go, but it had to happen some day. Don't abandon us, and keep us updated on your new career!
I must now bunker and bonus-ball every two-bit smart parts shooting sellout I have the misfortune of knowing... revenge is a dish best served from the end of an Automag!!!
On your departure Tom, two quotes come to mind....
"No distance of place, or lapse of time can lessen the freindship of those who are thoroughly pursuaded of each others worth." -- Robert Southey
"Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or AVOIDS." -- Aristotle
Thanks for keeping it real.

Look at it this way Tom and AO, Tom finally made the home page over at ForceofNature.com (atleast that I've seen)
As one of 3 mag shooting members of The Knights of Honor i will bid thee a sad farewell.
I let one of my team mates shoot my classic Mag at a game, he fell in love with it, sold his highly upgraded A-5 and bought my classic Mag. that says somthing when some one sells his A-5 for a bone stock classic Mag. Tom you will be missed. I felt honored to meet you at the Toys-for-Tots event in Dalton Ga. Thanks for coming. Thanks for the developing the Mag into what it is today.

Thank You for making this posible
This is my first post here, saying thank you to Tom- I have only been at one game he was at, a scenario- but I never got to shake his hand...thank you for what you did - IMO out of the founding 4 markers of paintball, AGD has always been THE most stand up and respectfull
Tom, sorry to see you go. We hardly got a chance to get to know you. Especially us newbies to the forum. You have made me a die hard fan of Automags and that I thank you for. Good Luck in all your future endeavors. If your ever in Okinawa look me up.
Okay... take deep breaths. Deeeeep breaths.
I am shocked and saddened. My chest feels tight reading this news. Man! How sad this is. On the other hand, I'm glad I own two of the best produced paintguns the world has ever seen. Thanks to Tom Kaye. This is history you're reading here, boys! When I'm in my 50's I can look back into the past and remember this day as I hold both of my Automags in my hands.
Tom, you did your best. For a few years I've wondered how you managed to pull through with the competition being as stiff as it has been. All of these technological advancements... it's insane!
Has anyone considered making "Long Live TK" shirts?
This is a very difficult post for me to write. When I saw the news I was dumbstruck. Tom is my hero and someone I�ve looked up to and admired for quite sometime. He was able to reach out and touch me first through his product � the later as a person. Some of the proudest and most memorable moments in my life are associated with time he was willing to share or opportunities he was gracious enough to provide.
Throughout the last 5 years of my life many things have changed. My jobs, my home, my marital status, my interests � throughout all of that one thing that has remained constant - the enjoyment I get from just holding my �mag or logging on here to catch up on things. Nothing else has lasted as long or been as important to me. I literally log on at least once a day � everyday. AO & Automags are very important parts of my life and I derive more pleasure from their company then anything else in my existence. (well, except for my wife that is...) Through AGD/AO I�ve made friends with people like JoAnn, Marcia, Jon, Rob-AGD, Cphil, & Tuna to name a few. The legacy of Tom Kaye on my personal life goes far beyond that of providing the single most well designed, best constructed and most durable paintgun ever produced � the legacy of Tom for me is the place he�s provide and the community he built that brings some much enjoyment to my daily existence.
Tom, best of luck, best wishes and thank you for everything.
In closing I�d like to suggest that Titan might be an appropriate name for the next AGD marker.

Tom, thank you so much for everything you've done for us. Paintball has deprived itself of possibly the most ingenuitive engineer it will ever know. I wish you a long and happy life in your retirement; and may you never see another betrayal like this one.
I would also donate money to the cause.
All YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
Good Luck tom on whatever you do for all good things must end. But i still hope Agd will still grow which i think it is doing cuz i feel more people are becoming interested in mags
"I am proud to have contributed in my small way." -TK
tom, you didnt contribute in a small way, you invented the first semi-automatic paintball gun, your product was at the top of the list for years adn your innovations shook the game and the indusrty for years. simply put, you are a paintball god. I shot agd products for a large part of my short paintball career and i never regretted it, the only thing i ever regret is getting rid of my mag. wou will be missed very much !!! memories of shooting people with my mag that was "too slow" and "low-tech" will be at the top of my paintball memory for a long time. if your ever feelin down, you can always go check out the old mustache thread, that thing still makes me laugh. i wish you the best of luck with your new career and thank you for all the things you did for the game and the industry in the past. rock on and keep putting your great ideas out there. hopefully one day i will meet you in person, it would be liek meeting the jesus of paintball. good luck man, i hope you suceed.

I remember coming up to you holding my M98 and asking you "is that some kind of high tech silencer or something?" and you responded in a rather pleasent manner... "no, its a very low tech barrel plug." (you dont remember that do you? heh.) Your work and effort has without a doubt revolutionized the sport of Paintball.

Hardware comes with hard work.
That's the message Oak Ridge coach Aaron Green has pushed to his team for the last nine months of workouts, summer practices and scrimmages and a gauntlet of regular season games. It paid off Monday night as Oak Ridge defeated Sevier County 61-45 in their sectional matchup and punched their ticket to the state tournament.
"You talk about it all year and having the chance to be special," coach Green said. "These guys have put up with me all year. It's not easy. We've put in a lot of time."
Oak Ridge (28-5) will dance at the state tournament in Murfreesboro thanks to a big second quarter run and a defensive shutdown in the fourth.
After being up just 13-12 on the Smoky Bears after the first eight minutes, Green dialed up the pressure using a 2-2-1 full-court press after watching film of the Sevier County and Scienc Hill game.
The defense allowed Rian Hall to nab back-to-back steals and earn a pair of transition baskets. On the second one, Hall was fouled but missed the free throw only to have junior Isaac Merian put in a basket on the rebound.
A 3-pointer two possessions later by Rashad Gray put the Wildcats up 24-14 and the capacity crowd went into a frenzy.
"We didn't play perfect but we made enough stops. That run in the second quarter was key," Green said.
Sevier County (28-6) did come back chipping away with their sharp outside shots. Cody Underwood buried a pair of 3-pointers while Weston Underwood added in another bucket to cut the lead back to 10 with 5:30 left in the third.
"We didn't play our best," Green said. "A lot of that had to do with Sevier County. They defended us well and we didn't shoot it as well tonight. They were physical and battled."
The Smoky Bears got another trey to cut it to 46-38 from Jacob Whaley, but on the ensuing possession, Cory Fagan drove baseline and found Jaylin Henderson in the opposite corner for a three that kept SCHS at bay.
"I got pushed in the backstop but it was worth it because he knocked it down," Fagan said. "It hurt, but it was worth it."
The Oak Ridge defense went into full gear from there holding Sevier County without a made basket for the first 4:30 of the fourth quarter while scoring 10 points including 5-of-6 shooting at the free-throw line.
"I told our guys to keep our head and lockup on defense in the second half," Henderson said.
"That just shows we can handle adversity," Fagan added. "Everyone that gets in the game can contribute in the game."
The Wildcats didn't take any chances after that. Oak Ridge drained 1:40 off the clock in one of their final two possessions.
Henderson led all scorers with 20 points. He had 11 in the first half. Gray had 11 and Fagan had 10.
Merian and Hall had nine each.
"Every rebound, every shot, every steal was important for us to win," Merian said.
Cody Underwood led Sevier County with 10 points. Logan McCarter had nine and Jacob Whaley had 10.
The team celebrated the win by cutting down the nets at Wildcat Arena as the Oak Ridge student section flooded the court for the second game in a week.
"It's an amazing feeling," Merian said.
"It feels real good to get to state," added Henderson. "We are playing real big on the court. "I have never really made it this far."
"It's an awesome feeling," said Gray. "Amazing."
Oak Ridge now awaits the state drawing on Saturday. The Wildcats will be joined at Middle Tennessee State University's Murphy Center by Maryville, Siegel, Blackman, Hillsboro, Brentwood, Dyer County and Southwind. The drawing is at 11 a.m EST.
"I am glad our kids get a chance to experience Murphy Center," coach Green said. "Some of the most special times I had as an athlete were playing in the state tournament in high school. I wish every athlete could experience it."
Maryville defeated Science Hill in Johnson City 60-59 in overtime. Memphis Southwind defeated Craigmont 95-36. Murfreesboro schools Siegel and Blackman will be on opposite ends of the bracket since they are in the same district, per TSSAA rules.
The Class AAA quarterfinal games begin at 11 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. EST. Tickets for the game are $10 per person and $12 for the finals. The Class AAA final will be at 3 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST) on Saturday, March 16.
The BlueCross Basketball Championships run March 13-16. For a full schedule see the TSSAA website, tssaa.org.

As most of you probably know, a cold start of a .NET program takes a little bit to load. After that the warm starts come right up because all the .NET business is cached. My question is, is there anyway to have a splash screen come up as the .NET resources load so the user doesn't think the programs unresponsive and tries to keep opening it? I tried a normal splash that does all the loading before the main form comes up, but that only comes up after the fact, so its of little help. I looked into maybe using WPF but I couldn't find any solid info on how to implement this.
Any help would be great, thanks guys!
(Using VS 2008 and .NET 4.0 but upgrading to 4.5, so answer referring to either works)

I'm not really understanding tracking this. 82% isn't good, it's actually right about at the middle of the league. It's also only slightly better than they've been over the whole season. I think the PK in the last few games has looked encouraging, though.

Yeah, to truly compare to the 17 gamer - but the Isles fans always complained that streak had the benefit of overtime. The play since that Toronto game has been lights out though.
AND... nice to take a first period lead, and build on it so as to leave little doubt. A break from the 1 goal games.

Judges aim questions at state's case during oral arguments of Barber appeal.
The State of Missouri's case against Arnold Stephen Barber was questioned at length during oral arguments before the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District judges who sat Monday afternoon at the Linn County Courthouse.
Assistant Attorney General Shaun Mackelprang was on the defensive for most of his 10 minutes before the judges, questioned repeatedly by Judge Mark Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer and Judge James E. Welsh, both of the Western District Court, were joined by 9th Circuit Judge Gary Ravens to form the panel that heard arguments during a special event in Linneus.
The Western District Court issues rulings on Tuesdays, but no time frame was given for when it will rule on Barber's case.
Barber, a former local dentist, was convicted by an Adair County jury in June 2011 of two counts of felony witness tampering and later sentenced to five years in prison. He is currently free on an appeal bond and was in attendance at Monday's proceedings.
He declined to comment following the arguments.
Barber was found to have offered a $150,000 bribe in exchange for the parents of a sexual abuse victim in the Tom Oswald case to not cooperate with the prosecution. Oswald later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison. He died in custody in March 2012.
Barber's attorney, J.R. Hobbs, used his time before the judges to call on them to order, at the least, a new trial, but said he believes the jury's decision should be reversed based on insufficient evidence and a "fatal variance."
Hobbs focused on the secretly videotaped conversation that showed Barber extending a $150,000 offer to Seth Shumaker, who was representing the victim's parents for a possible civil case. Hobbs said that in the months prior to that meeting, Brent Mayberry, who was also representing the victim's parents in the possible civil case, had contacted Robert Russell, who at the time was Tom Oswald's criminal defense attorney, to discuss a settlement in the yet-to-be-filed civil case for a sum of $150,000.
At the victim's family's orders, Mayberry later said no settlement would be sought, but Hobbs said there is no evidence that Barber had knowledge the offer had been withdrawn.
Hobbs also focused on Barber's use of the phrase "above board and legal" during the videotaped conversation, saying it proved his client had no ill intentions.
Hobbs based his call for a new trial on the charges themselves, which initially accused Barber of offering $150,000 directly to the parents, but was later changed to indicate the offer was made through Shumaker.
"This is a substantial change," Hobbs said. "This is simply conforming the evidence to the charge."
While Hobbs faced few questions during his argument - judges are allowed to interrupt attorneys at any time - Pfeiffer was noticeably more engaged during Mackelprang's discussions of the case. He questioned Mackelprang if it was a coincidence Barber used the same dollar figure Mayberry had suggested, and suggested Barber believed he was being represented by Shumaker, an argument the defense has made both at trial and during appeal.
Mackelprang said he didn't believe it was a coincidence, that it was reasonable to believe Oswald had relayed details of the possible and then canceled settlement offer to Barber, who had driven Oswald to and from his legal meetings.
He also disagreed with the contention that Barber would have believed he had any official legal relationship with Shumaker.
"I don't think he thought that," Mackelprang said. "There's never a mention of any ongoing settlement negotiations, there's never a mention of a prior offer, there's never a mention he's there to settle a civil case, he doesn't mention that he wants to ask for advice, or hire you as an attorney."
When Pfeiffer asked whether Barber was "a confused guy" who knew about the $150,000 civil case offer and was simply attempting to execute that settlement, Mackelprang pointed to the timing of the meeting, which was a month after Oswald's criminal trial began.
"I think that's a question for the jurors," Mackelprang said. "Is [Barber] confused, or is he having trouble articulating something he knows is illegal."
The judges voiced their displeasure with the fact much of the trial's transcript - specifically all of Barber's testimony under direct examination and a majority of the cross examination - is missing due to a technical problem with the recordings.
But Mackelprang said given the scope of the appeal, which only includes decisions and possible errors the court made during the trial, that portion of the testimony is not necessary. He went on to call Barber's testimony "self-serving" and said the court made no rulings during that examination.
"What we're talking about here are credibility determinations the jury had to weigh. They had to look at the tape and see what [Barber] said there and compare it to his claim at trial," Mackelprang said. "When someone says, 'I want this money to be a gift, not a loan, to get them to not cooperate with the prosecutor,' that goes beyond trying to settle a civil case.
"Everybody knows…you can't bribe witnesses to not cooperate with the prosecutor. That's bedrock. That's basic."
The Daily Express reported Barber's testimony during the trial. Under direct examination by Ed Campbell, who was his attorney at the time, Barber told the court he had been fooled by Oswald, who had violated his trust, and believed he was acting within the law.
Under cross examination, Adair County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Wilson questioned Barber on his "above board and legal" comment as well as his request the victim's parents "not cooperate with the prosecutor" in relation to the $150,000 offer.
"I was only trying to get everything to go away," Barber said.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
That's a huge question. I'd say that there's tons of reasons, many of them having to do with the psychology of our species, the fear of death, the fear of the unknown, and the need to be accepted. Just to name a few.
I can't see how people can believe in something that can't be proven.
"I'm doing science and I'm still alive."--J.C.
Something I don't understand:Why do people become co-dependant on religon and God?I can't see how people can believe in something that can't be proven.Theres not scientifical facts!!!!!!And why they feel the need to pray to a God that might not even be there?Why do you believe?
Religon confuses me i have to many questions.x
here we find hope where as there you will find fear.
Crack open your bible, God_Exists. Paul did not think free will existed, why do you? Read Eph 1:4-6, Rom 9:10-23, 2 Tim 1:9, Acts 13:48, 2 The 2:13, and Rev 13:8 for starters.
I disagree with you Airyaman. Firstly, if any of you were indeed Christian, you would know that people follow the Bible in different ways, one way being literal translation, another being a mixed sort of view, and the other seeing it as a sacred text that has symbolic and intrinsic meaning that is not always to be taken literally.Right there is one thing I see that drives wedges between Christianity and other religions. The sacred bible, literally, "The Holy Book", can be interpreted in different ways by any number of people. Christian A and Christian B can read the exact same bible verse and come to two totally different assumptions on what that verse means. Who is right? Both. In the bible what are Christians suppose to follow exactly, what are they suppose to interpret as a metaphor, and what are they suppose to ignore?
epistemological solipsism?
Ty. .And everyone carry on your arguments about religon Im really intrested in yoiur thoughts:P
God_exists: Your surrounded by atheists and many of us know more about the bible than the average chrisitian. Claiming god is love and talking about free wil is a bit like throwing chum off a boat. Your going to draw in some folks you might not want to deal with. Like me for example;This debate has been on debunking chrisitianity for a while; If God loves us why does he send people to hell?The logic behind deliberatly setting up hell, requiring people atone for a sin their supposed first ansectors made is harsh. Not to mention the ego manical worship me or be tormented forever side note.On the free wil side of things; How could their be free will when god knows everything (biblical quotes available)? Not to mention what Airymana just said abut paul.Now I have to ask you a logical question. If the bible is the word of god as so many claim, why does he allow people to interpt his holy orders differently?Now back to the orginal subject;Personnely I think the need for relgion is four fold:Social conditioning- People tell you to beleive so some doNeed for answers- Have a question and some people have an answer. Some people will follow just for the answer. Never mind the accuracyFear- Almost every relgion has dire warnings about what happens to you if you don't follow their god(s). Why risk it if your not sure?Lastly some people are weak. They need to feel as thought their is a big guy looking out for thm. Somebody who loves them.
If anything, I trust his view moreso than anyone's here, basically because his life is dedicated to religious study. If God wanted everything to be perfect, then why would he have let the Devil fall? The Devil fell because he made a choice. Others have risen, again, because they have made a choice.

Based on the current grudge Ottawa has against Pittsburg and Cooke in particular, it would be a fast paced hard hitting series between the Senators and the Penguins. Think it would be a harder sell, but if Karlsson is ready, the remainder of the lineup is playing now in Ottawa and Spezza is back soon. This could be a great series, especially if Crosby, Malkin, Letang and company aren't 100%

The head Wildcat ended his tenure after four years Thursday afternoon, according to athletic director Mike Mullins.

Oak Ridge football coach Scott Blade has resigned.
The head Wildcat ended his tenure after four years Thursday afternoon, according to athletic director Mike Mullins.
"We greatly appreciate the leadership that coach Blade has given to our football program the past four years," Mullins said. "He and his staff have brought Oak Ridge football back to state prominence."
Mullins said Blade is accepting an opening at Wilson County's Independence High School in Thompson's Station, Tenn., just south of Franklin.
Blade addressed the team after classes ended in the gym and thanked the players for their hard work.
"He addressed the team and let the team know after school," Mullins said. "The kids thanked him individually afterwards."
Blade guided the Wildcats to a 10-2 record in 2012 ending a losing streak to Farragut in the opening game and guiding Oak Ridge to its first District title in seven years.
Oak Ridge has been to the playoffs each of the last four seasons making it to the Class 6A state semifinals in 2010, the quarterfinals in 2011, and the second round of the playoffs this past season.
Blade leaves with a record of 35-15 at Oak Ridge and is sixth on the all-time wins list at ORHS behind Bill Young (1981-1987). He went 6-4 in the playoffs while in The Secret City with wins over Cookeville (twice), Bradley Central, Riverdale, McMinn County and Science Hill.
The 35-28 win over Science Hill this year was the first home playoff game since the Wildcats 2005 run to the Class 5A state title game.
"He left the program in pretty good shape — more than just wins and losses but financial and program wise," Mullins said.
There is no timetable to make a hire for the program, according to Mullins, but he will meet with acting Oak Ridge Schools superintendent Robert Smallridge and Oak Ridge High School principal Dr. Jody Goins in the coming week to form criteria and create a posting for the position.
