Northern Lakes League champion Perrysburg got within four points of Clay early in the finals of the Division I sectional wrestling tournament Saturday night, but that was as close as the Yellow Jackets could get to the host Eagles, who boasted seven individual champions en route to the team championship.
Fifth-ranked Clay, winner of two straight Three Rivers Athletic Conference titles and the final three City League championships before that, posted 276 team points to outlast Perrysburg (257.5) for its sixth consecutive sectional crown.
Anthony Wayne was third at 141 points, and St. John's Jesuit placed fourth at 126.5.
"It was a team effort," Clay coach Ralph Cubberly said. "Everybody contributed. We had 13 guys in the tournament, and 13 are moving on to district.
"It took that combined effort because Perrysburg wrestled real well. Coach [Perrysburg's Sam] Cotterman fed them their Wheaties this weekend. Seven champions is more than what we thought we could get."
The Eagles, who had beaten Perrysburg Jan. 30 in a regional semifinal on the way to reaching the Feb. 9 D-I state team tournament, got individual championships from seniors Brian Henneman, Damon Dominique, and Eddie Silva, juniors Jared Davis, Gavin Nelson, and Nick Stencel, and sophomore Richie Screptock.

Clay also sent six other wrestlers to next Saturday's district tournament at Cleveland State University. The top four wrestlers in each of the 14 weight classes qualify for district competition.
Perrysburg claimed four individual titles, had five runners-up, and two third-place finishers to send 11 wrestlers to district.
"This is the second time now that we've been close to them and couldn't get it done in that final round," Cotterman said. "I'm sure the kids are disappointed, but we know next week's going to be the same thing with even tougher competition.
"We've got to win more of those nail-biter matches. Hopefully the kids will respond and come back next week ready to wrestle."
Just eight points apart entering the finals, Clay and Perrysburg each sent nine wrestlers to championship matches. Five of those finals were head-to-head.
The Yellow Jackets drew closer (236.5-232.5) immediately when freshman Mario Guillen (26-6 record) pinned Southview's Tanner Ruiz at 5 minutes, 41 seconds of their 106-pound final.
Clay answered with a 2-1 decision by Davis (29-9) over Anthony Wayne's Vince Schneider at 113 pounds, and Screptock (44-4) followed by pinning AW's Christian Yates at 3:09 of the 120-pound title match.
"I had to get a pin because I knew it was going to be a close team match," Screptock said. "We needed all of those extra bonus points.
"We performed pretty well, and I hope this transfers over to districts and we compete just as well there."
Henneman (38-8) took an 11-2 major decision over Whitmer's James Wingate in the 126 match, setting up the first head-to-head battle with Perrysburg in a final at 132. Nelson (41-8) made it four Clay wins in a row with an 8-1 decision over the Jackets' Alec Herhold.

In the 138 final, Maumee sophomore Anthony Arroyo (26-8) took a 12-10 decision over Whitmer's Logan Cluckey, breaking up the string of titles won by the tournament's top two teams.
The second interruption came when Arroyo's cousin, Maumee senior Johnny Arroyo (29-5), pinned Perrysburg's Brady Clayton at 5:00 of the 195-pound final.
The only other title not won by Clay or Perrysburg came at 285 pounds, where Whitmer senior Marquise Moore stayed unbeaten (29-0) with a 3-0 decision over Perrysburg's Cale Bonner.
Perrysburg senior Ryan Roth (32-4) pinned AW's Collin Keil at 2:49 of the 145-pound title match before Dominique and Jackets' junior J.P.Newton staged the most dramatic match of the finals.
Tied at 3 after three periods, their 152-pound battle went to overtime. With time winding down in the one-minute period, Newton was on the brink of scoring a winning takedown. Instead, Dominique (28-6) avoided defeat by spinning out of trouble, reversing Newton, and pinning him at 6:58.
"I just thought to myself, 'There's no option to lose,' " Dominique said. "He shot before me. I planned on shooting seconds before that, but my mind went blank. My only option was to scramble. When I did, I ended up on top I almost got too excited with that takedown and jumped up. But I wanted that pin so bad."

Stencel (38-9) followed with a 19-4 technical fall over Southview's Jake Sowders in the 160 final. Stencel's freshman brother, Matt Stencel, did not fare as well in the 170-pound title match, as Perrysburg junior Rocco Caywood (30-3) pinned him in 59 seconds.
At 182, Eddie Silva (36-7) clinched the title for the Eagles by cruising to a 10-1 major decision over Perrysburg's Kadin Llewellyn.
"We're pretty excited to get that sixth straight sectional, especially for me as a senior," Silva said. "Now we want to move on to districts and see what we can do there. I feel like we can get a decent amount of our guys to state. I want to get to state and place at least in the top four."
Having already clinched the title made it inconsequential that Eagles senior 220-pounder Jarred Gray was forced by injury to forfeit his match against Yellow Jackets' junior Mark Delas (19-10). Gray had pinned Delas in Clay's regional semifinal team tournament win over Perrysburg.

Legendary international acts, cult festivals and the most exciting new bands collide at one of the city's most eclectic live venues.
It's perhaps natural that, as one of the nation's most unusual live music venues, our programme spans rock, pop, indie, electronica, soul, jazz, country, metal, folk, and the many sub-genres inbetween. The unique atmosphere and space of the building means it's often used for anything from intimate acoustic gigs to stage-diving, sweaty rammies and slick, spectacular international concerts.
Supporting the best examples of the known and the not-so-known, the Arches stage is host to everything from the latest stars of leftfield pop, such as Grimes and Chvrches, to alternative indie rock acts such as Peace and Yeasayer, prog and rock heroes such as The Fall, Swans and Dinosaur Jnr, and cutting edge electronic talent, from Rustie to James Blake.
We also regularly plays host to international legends – from Martha Reeves to Ben E. King to Jane Birkin – and provide the perfect multi-room setting for various festivals, from Celtic Connections to the Glasgow Jazz Festival. In 2012, the hallowed arches played hosted to the UK-wide Africa Express tour, featuring Damon Albarn, Baaba Maal and a trainload of world music stars, and in 2013, the building was transformed into a sonic Cineplex for our own co-curated cult event the Glasgow Music and Film Festival, featuring live film scores and AV sets from Jeff Mills, Dieter Moebius and Raime.
"A classical gig in the vaults of Scotland's dance mecca might sound an odd prospect, but the Arches proved the perfect setting"

Retail spending in East Baton Rouge Parish rose just less than 7 percent in November, figures from the city-parish Finance Department show.
Businesses and consumers spent $672.6 million that month compared with $631.0 million in November 2011. The numbers do not include often-volatile vehicle sales.
Spending had a couple of flat months after the U.S. Bowling Congress tournament left town in July, but rebounded in October by rising 6 percent. The November numbers, which include the beginning of the holiday shopping season, followed suit.
For the year, consumer spending is up just less than 7 percent to $7.24 billion.
The breakdown of numbers inside and outside the city limits for November were also similar to the gains posted in October. Spending inside the city limits was up 4 percent and spending in the outlying areas was up 10 percent.
Looking at some key sectors:
- Manufacturing, which is about 12 percent of total spending, was up 23 percent in November and 19 percent for the year.
- Retail trade (not including vehicle sales, food services or drinking places) was up 3 percent in November and 4 percent for the year. It makes up about half of total spending and is by far the largest segment.
- Services, which makes up 10 percent of the total, was down 1 percent for November and up 10 percent for the year.
- Food services and drinking places, which makes up 10 percent of the total, was up 14 percent in November and 8 percent for the year.
- Vehicle sales, which make up 7 percent of the total, were up 15 percent in November and 12 percent for the year.
Sales tax revenue to the city-parish, which includes vehicle sales, is up 7 percent to $14.5 million. For the year, sales tax revenue is up 7 percent to $156.6 million.

Albuquerque composer and virtuosic oudist Rahim Alhaj calls his newest composition, "Fly Away," an unusual piece. Its instrumentation—oud and four guitars, including a six-string contrabass—isn't exactly common on the chamber music scene.
What's really unusual, though, is the piece's tone. "Mainly, my compositions—sad, sad," Alhaj says, laughing. "This composition has a liberating feeling—when you think you have wings and can fly."
On Sunday afternoon, Chamber Music Albuquerque (CMA) will give Alhaj and Argentina's Santa Fe Guitar Quartet (SFGQ)—Chris Dorsey, Mariano Fontana, Miguel Piva and Eric Slavin—a runway for the world premiere of "Fly Away."
The project got started a couple of years ago when Slavin saw Alhaj in concert. The two hit it off, and that led to a commission from the quartet.
Alhaj decided he needed to explore a new direction. "The fun part of me, I need to express," he says. "There is a wild, playful side of me."
Playful or not, Alhaj focuses on making the music "more real," he says. For him, music is not just entertainment; it's a vehicle for understanding, engagement, meditation.
"What's it mean when you're happy?" he asks. "How do you express yourself when you are really playful? How do you express yourself when you're in a state that your soul is really fresh and light and you need just to play—regardless of the sadness and the tragedy around the world?"
While structured much like a string quartet, Alhaj says "Fly Away" gives each instrument an individual and equal voice, which encourages a joyful interaction. The music challenges the players' abilities but allows them to demonstrate their virtuosity and express themselves. "I've left room for improvisation," he notes.
For CMA, the convergence of SFGQ's scheduled appearance, the new composition and Alhaj's availability was a happy accident, says Executive Director Joseph Franklin. Nonetheless, he says, this event falls in line with CMA's desire to commission new work. What's more, CMA is working to bring Alhaj, flutist Robert Mirabal and the chamber group Ethel into an artistic residency to develop a new composition. "All of this is about collaborative efforts. We're really reaching out to develop collaborative relationships across the board," Franklin says.
"Fly Away," which be recorded shortly after the performance, will also figure in a much larger project envisioned by Alhaj, titled "It's Possible—Voices for Peace." He is working to record and perform a series of compositions with diverse musicians from every continent—and to bring these musicians together for a group performance with proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders.
"This is to make a statement that it's one earth, it's one voice," says Alhaj. "It's about making a difference."

project: diy needle threader
We have this fun calendar with crazy days and holidays listed, and imagine my delight when I saw Thread the Needle Day was coming up. And here it is! I made a special little project just for today. Are you ready? Here she is!
A needle threader! That you can make and love. What? You're wondering who would actually love a needle threader? Seriously. Look at that face and try not to love her. Rarely do I use a threader, relying on my eyesight that is only going to last me so long. But this one is cute enough to convince me to save my eyes!
Here's what you need:
Felt in tan plus another color (I recommend wool)
Embroidery floss
Super fine wire (I believe that fine fishing line also works)
Craft Glue
Note: The wire I used came in a kit years ago, so I don't have specifics on the gauge. But you can see from comparison to the other items here that it's really fine and on a tiny spool!
Cut a piece of felt to 1 x 3 inches. Cut two pieces of tan felt to 1-1/4 x 3/16 inches.
Fold the larger piece in half, then make two small holes along the fold line. (I used this punch...I love it! You could also use a large needle.)
Stitch a little face, if you want, then add some lines of running stitches to act as thread. Yes, my lines are a different color than the spool. Yes, I like it that way!
Cut a piece of wire or fishing line and tie it through the holes. Leave a loop that is about 1 inch long, then securely twist and/or knot the ends on the wrong side of the felt.
Apply some craft glue to one half of the felt piece, then fold it closed.
Glue the tiny tan strips of felt to the top and bottom to finish off the spool. It's a good idea to place this under a heavy book for a little while as it dries.
To use your new needle threader, bend the wire just enough to poke it through the eye of your needle. Slip a strand of thread or embroidery floss through the loop of wire, then pull it through the eye of the needle.
Hey! You just threaded the needle on Thread the Needle Day!

Mollie, you are so inventive! What a beautiful project, even if you don't make it as a needle threader.ReplyDelete
oh my gosh! so cute!!!!!ReplyDelete
Brilliant! (bangs forehead with hand) Why didn't I think of that???!!!ReplyDelete
So sweet Mollie!! You have such a creative touch to all your adorable creations! xo HeatherReplyDelete
awesome! great idea..ReplyDelete
I need to start using one of these because my eye sight isn't getting any better.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9:34 AM
Mollie...I think I decided this is the absolute cutest thing you have made (that I've seen)! I love it so much!!ReplyDelete
Have you thought about doing giveaways for the awesomely cute things you make? For some of us wanna-be-crafty-but-I'm-too-busy mamas, you would make our day! Love, love, love checking your blog :-)ReplyDelete
Yes, I like this, I always hurt myself with the metal ones (where the wire sticks out at the back?) so this is great!
- Anonymous6:39 PM
If anybody is having trouble finding the wire, it's "beading wire" or you can find it as wire for tying fishing flies (!) at a big sporting goods shop. People should band together--you could make a whole bunch of threaders from one spool of wire. You could make different shapes! I love the clip idea. And thank you, I love the original idea, also. (Jenn in Albuquerque)ReplyDelete
Soooo cute! I want to make several.ReplyDelete
Hi Jenn (in Albuquerque), we may be neighbors. (Sandy in Albuquerque()
Oh, and I'm always losing mine (I use dental floss threaders), so this is a great way to keep track of them. Thanks so muchReplyDelete
It's such a great idea. I can't wait to make my own... It's one of those "big little things" that we say: "why did anyone made it before"??ReplyDelete
We did our interpretation of your brilliant little needle threader over at http://dashaina.com/2015/12/monster-purse-shaped-threaders/. Thanks for the inspiration Mollie!ReplyDelete
This is the cutest and cleverest!!!ReplyDelete

Sky gardens have become a popular landscape choice for roof tops on buildings, restaurants and lounges, often competing for deck space. A green wall effect created with UV rated outdoor artificial plants creates ambiance in an otherwise dull high-rise building outdoor area. These silk plant garden decks utilize vertical plants to maximize a restricted area, withs a curtain of artificial plants against vertical structures. Whatever the type of chosen sky plants, a vertical plant garden can pose challenges that professional landscapers have to grapple with to ensure a visually stimulating atmosphere without limiting space.More...

Vertical greenery has been adopted as a standard feature in high-rise buildings. It helps to provide aesthetic relief from the harsh urban environment by providing a softening effect, creating a welcoming and friendly indoor living space, and contributing therapeutic benefits to our busy and stressful lifestyles. Many factors including site constraints, cost and maintenance need to be taken into account to create a successful green wall indoors. An example of would be the vertical silk plant wall over the Asia Square Tower One Food Garden located in Singapore.

NEWMARKET — Friends, family and strangers alike are invited to share a free meal with Newmarket business owner Jeremy Adams during this year's Thanksgiving holiday.
The 27-year-old, who owns Jeremy's Pizzeria and Deli, is hosting a 3rd Annual Free Thanksgiving Dinner at the Newmarket Community Center on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 22.
The event takes place from 1-5 p.m. at the community center, located at 1 Terrace Drive in Newmarket.
Doors will be open to the public for a traditional holiday feast and raffle organized by Adams, his acquaintances and a host of volunteers.
Adams' family hails from the Seacoast, and Adams said he learned the value of giving back from his parents. He began coordinating the annual feast to cherish that ideal three years ago, after becoming a business owner in downtown Newmarket.
"As soon as I became financially able and socially able, I wanted to do it," he said.
Adams now lives in Stratham. He purchased the pizza shop at 96 Main St., formerly Mama Lena's Pizzeria, several years ago, and rebranded the business in 2006 with the name Jeremy's Pizzeria and Deli.
Adams is planning this year's free thanksgiving dinner with the assistance of numerous volunteers, including his 26-year-old sister, Tiffany Adams. The pair have been in contact with local homeless shelters and food pantries in the run-up to the event to spread the word about the event.
"We end up having more volunteers than eaters every year because everyone wants to do their part," he said.
Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, carrots and corn will be on the menu this year, as well as an assortment of desserts. Most of the side dishes will be prepared on site at the community center on Thursday, but volunteers have lined up to cook the turkeys individually at their homes.
Adams said as many as 20 turkeys will be prepared for Thursday's event.
"It's like the meaning of the day," he said of the free dinner. "Thanksgiving."
For more information, call 603-659-6300 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

[Spoiler alert: The following reveals major plot points from Tuesday's episode of Parenthood. Read at your own risk.]
A son with Asperger's, money troubles, an unexpected pregnancy. Like almost every member of the Braverman clan, Parenthood's Kristina (Monica Potter) has been put through the wringer. So when it came time to start work on Season 4 of the NBC family drama (Tuesdays at 10/9c), Potter had a gut instinct for what should come next.
"A lot of women that I know deal with breast cancer — a lot of close friends actually — and I had e-mailed [series creator and executive producer] Jason Katims before the season started and I said, 'What if Kristina develops breast cancer,'" Potter tells TVGuide.com. "I think it's a really timely issue."
Little did Potter know when she pressed send that Katims — inspired by his wife's own battle with the disease years earlier — had just begun plotting the exact same story line in the writers' room. "It was this wild coincidence that that happened, but it was also very encouraging," Katims says. "This is obviously a very difficult story that has very challenging and emotional elements. So the idea that — not even hearing that it was something that we wanted to do —she was interested was very exciting to me. Clearly this was something that she was ready to dig into."
However, Katims said his leading lady had one caveat: "She said, 'I don't want to cry in every scene.'"
It seems an unusual request, especially for a series notorious for making viewers reach for the tissues week after week. But if the closing act of Tuesday's episode was any indication, the Bravermans are going to need to stock up on Kleenex.
Fall TV Scoop: Catch up with all of your favorite returning shows
For a show that's never shied away from heavy subject matter — race relations, religion, adoption, infidelity, and Asperger's have all been put under the microscope — Katims admits he was unsure "whether or not it was a road that I wanted to go down."
"My wife has gone through breast cancer so I lived through it with her," the Emmy winner says. "Part of it was for the personal reason of, 'Do I want to go there?' and the other hesitation was I didn't want to do it if it was going to be too depressing or be too heavy."
Parenthood Video: Ray Romano and Lauren Graham on Hank and Sarah's "interesting chemistry"
It was another story line mined from Katims' personal life — Kristina and Adam's son, Max, suffers from Asperger's just like Katims' own son — that convinced him to move forward. "That was a story that felt, frankly, more challenging than this one," Katims says. "Having been able to tell that story now going on four seasons of the show, it gave me the confidence to feel that we could tell this story in a way that will hopefully feel real and that people who have either gone through it or know people who have gone through it will think we did a good job."
In addition to hiring an oncologist to check the accuracy of the scripts, Katims says his wife usually answers questions and has been supportive of the art-imitates-life storyline. "She's unfortunately used to it with me. We'll be watching episodes of the show and at certain points; she'll just turn her head to me and look at me like, 'Really? So you just use everything,'" Katims says of his wife, who has been in remission for two years. "She's very much an inspiration to me. ... She's been very encouraging because she also feels it's an important story to tell."
Parenthood scoop: Sarah's love triangle, Julia's juggling act and Amber's big romance
Katims was also swayed to explore the storyline because he knew Potter would be able to find the necessary lighter moments in Kristina's bleak circumstances. "Monica is not only such a wonderful dramatic actress, she is also such an incredible comedienne," he says. "One of the things that was important to us was that we would find not only the hopeful moments but the humor."
Potter is optimistic fans will not only be able to find upcoming moments of Kristina's struggle funny, but also therapeutic. "The first two episodes were sort of a punch in the stomach for me to read and I think a lot of our fans will find it to be a little startling," she says. "But also, as the season goes, I think it will be very cathartic."
Watch full episodes of Parenthood
So how will the diagnosis impact Kristina, her husband, Adam (Peter Krause), and their kids long-term? "It will run the gamut of emotions of how it affects them," Katims says. "There's a part of it that's very scary and they will be scared. There's also the reality of as you go through this, life is also going on. ... They have a daughter who just left for college, they have a baby, they have a son."
However, Katims admits there is no short answer for what's ahead for Kristina and the rest of the Braverman clan. "I wish there was .... but I think what makes [this portrayal] different is that we are hopefully going to try to reflect, in a very whole way, what it's like to go through this experience," he says. "I feel like this is a story that is going to go on the entire season, and even beyond."
Watch our interview with Potter on the set of Parenthood to see why she felt strongly about the storyline, how Kristina will deal and when she'll break it to the rest of the family:
Parenthood airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says she's donated to her family's foundation the huge sums she has earned in speaking fees at colleges for the last year and half.
Some students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have called for Clinton to return the $225,000 she is receiving for speaking at the university's foundation dinner this fall.
In an interview this week with ABC News, Clinton responded to criticism about such fees by saying the money had gone to the Clinton Foundation for what she called its "life-changing and life-saving work."
Clinton's wealth has been under scrutiny since an interview last month in which she described her family as "dead broke" and in debt when husband Bill Clinton left the White House in January 2001. She later called that description "inartful."

Lately, people have been expressing a deep feeling of dissatisfaction with their lives. At one time a steady paycheck, a predictable relationship and not getting sick used to be enough. Now, especially after major 2012 astrological events, there have been strong messages from the Soul that it wants FULL EXPRESSION. People want more from their lives – they want to make their unique contribution to humanity – they want to serve with their gifts. And you'll notice if you refuse to act on these powerful urges to make real changes and choose to hold on to the old instead – the evolutionary energy will shift your circumstances for you.
What's the Problem?
The strength of your judgment is the only enemy you have. – Yogi Bhajan
Right now, the events of your Life are simply bringing you to your highest potential – this is the evolutionary process. It is our judgment about our life that causes most of the stress and suffering.
Judgment is part of the victim consciousness that is leaving the planet. The victim feels dis-empowered and believes that life is happening to me and that I am separate from what I see in the world.
Judgment is the mind's conviction that your life should be different, you should be different, others should be different – which can take the form of complaining, extreme negativity or gossiping. You can express this energy to others and/or keep it as an internal dialogue – both are damaging to the self. This lower frequency energy is stealing 3 feet from your aura and infecting the human field of consciousness with more fear. NOT Good for YOU or the rest of us !
5 Ways to Get Rid of Judgement
1.Don't Assume You Know Someone's Story
Often we project our own self-judgments onto others. For example if someone does not seem to be working as hard as everyone else we assume that person is lazy, lesser than and not deserving of our respect. We cannot know another person's unique experience – it is impossible. Best to take your particular judgment and bring it back to yourself because it is really only about you. In the above example that person's ego is identified with being 'a hard worker' and will value themself only when they work.
2. Let Life Come to You
In the Aquarian Age, we are shifting our reliance on Time and Space – in the Piscean Age we had to go out and get what we needed. Now what we need comes to us through magnetic frequency. Have you noticed when you stick to this old way of doing life – that you become exhausted and nothing works anyway? This new way of being is very upsetting to the mind and you will hear a tirade of panicky judgmental thoughts with the sole purpose of keeping you under its control. This is part of the process of the change over. Trust that your magnetic frequency is bringing everything you need even as you read this.
2. Do Not Believe What you Think
The mind is like a computer – it is constantly measuring and comparing – it works with contrasts – this or that. You are not your mind – you are the eternal witness of your mind. Do not identify and attach to thoughts, opinions and the ego's need to be right. In fact those thoughts and opinions may not even be yours – inherited from your ancestors or you may be just picking up other free floating thoughts from your co-workers, neighbors – strangers on the street.
3. Stop Shoulding all over yourself
Judgment's power word is should. Go deeper to explore your unique should – it often means you are seeking approval from an outside source such as a parent, authority figure or your community. Start to seek approval only from your higher consciousness. This is your Life – it is time to stop living someone else's dream and trying to please everyone.
5. The Secret Antidote to Judgement
The secret antidote for judgment is acceptance. This is 100% acceptance of yourself and where you are in your life in this moment. When you bring this kind of acceptance to yourself – it will raise the vibrational frequency around you. If you fully embrace this moment in time – you will notice that you have everything you need. When you completely accept yourself – you won't have to try and effort to accept others – you will naturally be accepting of others.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sell high.
That's what managers of some mutual funds say they're doing after watching stock prices soar. The Standard & Poor's 500 index has surged nearly 50 percent in the last two years and nearly 150 percent since the market's bottom in March 2009.
That's led managers, particularly those who look for stocks that are cheap relative to their earnings, to sell some of their stocks and wait for prices to fall before buying again. If they're right, they'll have protected their investors and have more cash with which to buy stocks on sale. If they're wrong and stocks keep rising, their investors will miss out on the gains.
"We've made some money, and we're taking some chips off the table," says Sandy Villere. For the last five years, his Villere Balanced fund (VILLX) has returned an average of 14 percent annually and ranks in the top 1 percent of its category, according to Morningstar.
"What do they say? Pigs get fat, and hogs get slaughtered," Villere says.
The fund has been selling stocks since May and leaving the proceeds parked in cash. That means cash now makes up 12 percent of its $849.5 million in assets. Historically, cash has been below 5 percent of the total.
Other managers have joined Villere, albeit not to the same degree. Fund managers have an average of 4.5 percent of their portfolios in cash, up from 3.8 percent in January, according to the most recent survey data from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. In July cash was at 4.6 percent, a one-year high.
Holding cash isn't necessarily a red flag, says Todd Rosenbluth, director of mutual fund and ETF research for S&P Capital IQ. Mutual funds always have some on hand, ready to return to investors who may be selling their shares.
Rosenbluth says he considers a fund fully invested as long as it has up to 5 percent of its assets in cash. Once it gets over 10 percent, he says investors should ask why and check to see if it has had a good history doing so.
Villere has been selling stocks because he says there are fewer that meet his criteria. He wants companies with high earnings growth and low stock prices relative to their earnings, among other things. If a company's earnings are growing at 18 percent annually, he wants its stock price to be less than 18 times its earnings per share, for example.
Such stocks have been tougher to find as prices climb faster than companies are growing their earnings. The S&P 500 index trades at 15.2 times its earnings per share over the prior 12 months, according to data provider FactSet. That's up from 11.9 times two years ago. It's also slightly higher than its average of 14.9 times over the last 10 years.
Many managers say they're raising cash in anticipation of a temporary, modest pullback. They're not looking for a market crash, like the 38 percent decline of the S&P 500 in 2008 amid the financial crisis.
Some investors say the S&P 500 is due for a drop of at least 10 percent, which is called a correction in trader-ese. The index hasn't experienced one since 2011, though it had a 6 percent drop between May 21 and June 24.
Economists also expect the Federal Reserve to soon announce a paring back of its bond-buying stimulus program for the economy, perhaps as early as its next policy meeting, which ends Sept. 18. The Fed's efforts have helped to keep long-term interest rates low.
The S&P 500 has climbed 18 percent in 2013 -- more than it has in 11 of the last 13 full years -- and many forecasters on Wall Street expect more gains from stocks in the coming months. Strategists at Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs predict the S&P 500 to end the year at 1,750, for example. That would mean a 4 percent rise from its 1,683.42 closing level on Thursday. Barclays is more skeptical, forecasting the S&P 500 will fall and end the year at 1,600.
Here are some factors investors should keep in mind when considering stock mutual funds building up their cash levels:
— It can mean a higher tax bill. When mutual funds sell stocks, they must record how much profit or loss they made on the investment. At the end of the year, they tally up all the gains and losses, and they distribute those to their investors. So fund investors could receive a capital gains distribution and owe taxes on it, even if they didn't sell any shares of the mutual fund themselves.
The top rate on long-term capital gains is 23.8 percent this year after including a new tax on the highest income earners to help pay for the federal government's health care overhaul. That is up from a top rate of 15 percent last year.
— You're paying someone to hold cash. When a mutual fund holds cash, it is still charging its expenses to cover its managers' salaries and other operating costs. The average U.S. stock mutual fund has an expense ratio of 1.26 percent, which means that it deducts 1.26 percent of the fund's total assets annually for expenses.

Our area's youth have so much potential, talent and energy they can offer to our community when given the opportunity to shine. A commitment to community service was on display this week when James M. Morton Middle School students pledged to perform 60 hours of service over the next year.
Our area's youth have so much potential, talent and energy they can offer to our community when given the opportunity to shine. A commitment to community service was on display this week when James M. Morton Middle School students pledged to perform 60 hours of service over the next year.
A little more than an hour of volunteering per week is a relatively small commitment that can make a big difference in the lives of others, and students' own lives as well. "One of the things we try to honor is the memory of James Madison Morton, the namesake of the building, who dedicated his life to the service of Fall River," Morton Principal Sheryl Rabbitt said.
Service learning has become a part of the institutional culture at Morton and UMass Dartmouth, which is partnering with Morton on the initiative for the first time and played a role in Wednesday's community service rally. Educators and students have learned that through service learning, education happens both inside and outside classroom walls. In fact, several of Morton's Extended Learning Time courses are rooted in community service.
As Rabbitt said, it's a way for students to give back to our city that has invested so much in their education. "We talk a lot about the school being built for you. Not only this building, but all of the buildings," Rabbitt said. "That is virtually unheard of, the number of new school buildings in the community, in Fall River. ... It's quite a testimony to community service, to giving back."
Community service can take a variety of forms, from participating in cleanups, to planting trees, to serving meals to the hungry and homeless. The goal is to match students with an area they find rewarding. It could even lead to career and higher education options down the road. Hopefully, by getting middle school youth involved in community service, volunteerism will become a good habit throughout life.
And, true to the message of the power of students of all ages to do good in the community, students from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's Leduc Center for Community Engagement provided inspiration to their younger counterparts and led the pledge: "I am Morton, I am Fall River. I will get things done."
Greater Fall River is indeed fortunate to have this army of young people who offer so much to their communities. The Herald News is continuing its annual effort to recognize the efforts of the capable and engaged young people in the communities we cover through The Best and The Brightest program, now in its seventh year. If you know someone between the ages of 16 and 21 that deserves credit for academic achievement, volunteerism, athletic prowess, artistic acumen or the pursuit of excellence, we want to know about their efforts. Please take a moment to turn to the nomination form on Page B5 of today's paper or submit the online form for them to be considered for this special recognition.

Note to Mozilla: We don't get the Firefox billboards
Value trumps virtue
Open...and Shut Although people often contribute to charities because "it's the right thing to do," they rarely give to businesses on this basis. That's why it's strange to see industries turn to "guilt trips as business models," as GigaOm's Matthew Ingram terms newspapers' recent business-model experiments.
The news media and its apologists talk about the importance of funding an independent media, as if it were a charity that we are somehow morally bound to support.
It's not.
News is a business, and normal business rules apply – which is why Jeff Jarvis, noted author and associate professor of City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism, takes the apologists to task with his "rules for business models," which apply to news media and, really, to all businesses.
A few of my favorites:
- "Should" is not a business model. You can say that people "should" pay for your product but they will only if they find value in it.
- Virtue is not a business model. Just because you do good does not mean you deserve to be paid for it.
- No one cares what you spent. Arguing that news costs a lot is irrelevant to the market.
- The only thing that matters to the market is value. What is your service worth to the public?
While it's easy to apply these to news organizations, these principles also apply to other businesses – such as open source software companies and foundations, for example.
The traditional open source model – charge for support around an open source project and pray enough people pay – has serious problems. The primary problem? As customers seek to contain costs, they will almost invariably cut out the easy costs of software acquisition. Proprietary license fees must be paid. Support fees? Maybe, maybe not.
In but one example among many, I once had a customer who was spending roughly $100 million to build out a centralized document repository. The vast majority of the money was budgeted for services, with a smaller chunk for hardware. This left nearly $15 million for software acquisition. Despite my company being the absolute heart of the project – the one thing that if removed, everything fell apart – this organization chose to go cheap on our support fees so that it could pay more for Oracle database licenses, etc.
Think about that: a $100 million project built around open source software for which they were going to spend less than $50,000 in support fees. Had we been a proprietary software company we would have gleaned at least $5 million for the same project.
It didn't matter that we had spent just as many resources developing our software as the proprietary alternatives. It didn't matter that we offered higher value. What mattered was that the customer could justify spending minimally on support, but couldn't get around the proprietary vendors' licensing fees.
In short, it may be comforting to think that people will pay you for doing good deeds, but that comfort is unlikely to pay your bills.
This is one reason I'm puzzled by Mozilla's new ad campaign for Firefox. The foundation has plastered San Francisco with billboards and other ads talking up Firefox as more than just a speedy browser. "Every browser does fast. But not every browser does good," proclaims one ad.
The problem is that few to none care. Consumers and enterprises just want a fast, secure browser. Firefox happens to offer both. The claim that it also "does good" is irrelevant, however much it may serve as an internal rallying cry to the Mozilla employees who write and promote the browser.
Mozilla, unlike the news organizations, isn't trying to guilt people into buying its browser. The browser is free. Mozilla just wants more people to use Firefox, both for ideological reasons (Mozilla cares deeply about freedom) and for monetary reasons (more people using Firefox means more people using search, which means more fees paid by Google and others).
I doubt if many people will be convinced to use Firefox because it somehow makes the world a better place. Consumers and companies are far more pragmatic in their decision processes. We want something to work, and hope to get it at the lowest possible cost.
It's often those industries that find their comfortable business models challenged who turn to morality-based arguments. Microsoft argued that open source was somehow "un-American" because it challenged the way Microsoft made money. News organizations want us to believe that we're duty-bound to support their traditional means of paying for news gathering and dissemination.
But we're not. Quite the opposite. Industries become weak when propped up by artificial supports, government-provided or otherwise. They become strong as we adapt to changing environments.
Entrepreneurs will always find a way to make money as industries change. The fact that they will often be different entrepreneurs from those that gave us our last round of news/software/whatever shouldn't trouble us. It's the normal cycle. ®
Matt Asay is senior vice president of business development at Strobe, a startup that offers an open source framework for building mobile apps. He was formerly chief operating officer of Ubuntu commercial operation Canonical. With more than a decade spent in open source, Asay served as Alfreso's general manager for the Americas and vice president of business development, and he helped put Novell on its open source track. Asay is an emeritus board member of the Open Source Initiative (OSI). His column, Open...and Shut, appears twice a week on The Register.

Due to the graphic nature of the video, Action News is only showing a portion of the exclusive video, which can be viewed here.
Police say 28-year-old Max Drosi of Miami Florida was driving under the influence when his actions caused the terrible tragedy.
The surveillance video shows 11-year-old Samantha Ortanez-Nguyen, her half-brother, 2-year-old Aaron, and the boy's mother, 26-year-old Lacky Xiong standing on the corner outside Captain Jesse G., Inc. seafood waiting to cross the street.
Authorities say it was around 12:30 p.m. Sunday that Drosi was driving his rented Chevy Impala westbound on Washington Avenue when he blew a red light.
The video shows the car striking an SUV being driven by a woman traveling south on 8th Street.
Suddenly, the SUV careened out of control and right towards the three standing on the sidewalk.
The video and witnesses say they tried to run, but they didn't stand a chance.
"By the time they realized the car was coming to them, they tried to turn around and run, but she hit them from behind and they went against the wall," witness Wakil Horton said.
Surveillance video shows a fire truck and firemen arriving five and a half minutes later and paramedics arriving two minutes after them.
The 11-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
Both of Xiong's arms were broken. Aaron suffered a broken leg.
The suspected drunk driver was not injured.
Samantha's father Andrew Nguyen spoke to Action News Monday afternoon about the legacy his young daughter leaves behind.
"She is an angel," Nguyen said.
He wants everyone to know how exceptional she was and how much she will be missed.
"My whole family, we're so in love with her. Something tragic like this is just horrible, you know? It's ruined my whole family. My whole family is devastated," Nguyen said.
Samantha was a fifth grader at Erial Elementary in Sicklerville, New Jersey. She was a Girl Scout, a dancer, and dreamed of one day becoming a pediatrician.
"She has everything going for her. She's an honor roll student and now she is gone," Nguyen said.
Gloucester Township Schools Superintendent Tom Seddon visited the family to offer his condolences and share memories of a fifth grader who was very involved in school activities and very much adored.
"She was an outstanding student involved in a lot of different organizations. She was in Girl Scouts. She loved the DARE program. She was very well-liked by her peers and her teachers," Seddon said.
Andrew Nguyen reports late Monday that his son Aaron has been released from the hospital, but the boy's mother remains hospitalized.
A 46-year-old man who worked in Captain Jesse G., Inc. was also injured.
The driver of the SUV was also taken to the hospital after the accident.
Drosi is charged with Homicide by Vehicle and Driving Under the Influence. He is being held without bail.

The Regiment utilises tactics and procedures pioneered by the CRW (Counter Revolutionary Warfare) arm of the S.A.S, and has been designed in close collaboration with ex-staff instructors. Starting with an in-game briefing by John MacAleese - a veteran of the Iranian Embassy Siege - players are dropped straight into each mission. The game play is then focused on action, as players use a simple yet effective ordering system to deploy their colleagues, and use specially selected weapons and hand-to-hand methods to take out the terrorist threats.

Both games can also be played online, with the PlayStation 2 version boasting an option for voice-over IP support via a USB headset.
"The Regiment is an incredibly realistic interpretation of one of the world's greatest armed units," commented Tony Bickley, Head of Product Development. "Its visually stunning levels, fantastic realism and tense missions combine to create a truly engrossing and nerve-wracking experience." The brutal reality of a siege situation or terrorist attack are faithfully recreated, thanks in no small part to the help of S.A.S veterans, who have helped create a memorable game.
Features :
- An intense, fast paced first person shooter based on real-life tactics and procedures of the CRW (Counter Revolutionary Warfare) wing of the British Special Air Service (S.A.S.)
- Designed in collaboration with former S.A.S. staff instructor Rhett Butler.

Song of the Little Old Rocker
By George Plowman
Here I am, dressed out anew,
In nineteen hundred eight.
Not many of my early chums
Can boast of such a fate.
I've helped to soothe the restless child
When the fire was burning bright,
With a ruddy blaze and glowing coals,
By the fireplace at night.
I've heard the hum of the spinning wheel
As the housewife made it fly,
While she drew the thread out from the roll
And hummed a lullaby.
I've watched the reel, reel off the skein
When the spindle full had got
And listened for the little click,
The signal for the knot.
I've seen the skein stretched on the swifts
And the swifts go whirling round
As the quillwheel turned the shuttle's quill
And the yarn on the quill was wound.
I've listened to the noisy loom
Beneath a lowly roof,
While the shuttle through the warp would fly
And the lathe bang up the woof.
This all I've seen and heard, and more,
I've seen the forest wane,
And by the woodman's axe to fade
Into a fertile plain.
I've rocked the babies now grown old
And the babies they have born
And I'll be rocking babies still
When Gabriel blows his horn.
The different coats that I have had,
To know would be a shocker,
Though now disguised with Japalac,
I'm Lucy's same old rocker.

Moving to curtail AlphaMetrix' troubles from expanding, the National Futures Association (NFA) today ordered AlphaMetrix LLC "to satisfy its obligations to certain pool participants by Nov 1," thus issuing a member responsibility action that if action isn't taken, the NFA can suspend the member, restrict its operations or direct it to take "other remedial action."
In a statement, the NFA said "The firm had deducted advisory fees for certain participants in commodity pools operated by the firm. Those fees were to be reinvested in the pools but were not. The total amount owed to participants is approximately $600,000. AlphaMetrix has approximately $700 million under management. According to NFA's action, if AlphaMetrix fails to satisfy its obligations by November 1, the firm would be prohibited from placing trades for any of its pools except for trades liquidating open positions. Further, any disbursement of pool funds could only be made with NFA's approval."
Once recognized by Crain's Chicago Business as a top entrepreneur, founder and CEO, Aleks Kins issued a letter on Oct. 10 admitting that the firm he launched , Alpha Metrix, was experiencing cash-flow difficulties. Managers and others affiliated with the platform say that the slow payments go as far back as 2009, perhaps indicating that the firm was never as healthy as perceived.
At one point the firm boasted in excess of 100 employees, but it is unclear how many of them remain on staff. George Brown, the chief financial officer, was removed from his post, as explained in the Oct. 10 letter, while Mikus Kins and Geoff Marcus, both senior staffers, departed in mid-October.
Founded in 2005, the firm was the brainchild of Kins and the platform was supposed to give investors access to fully vetted funds and, according to the website, "achieve a higher level of verified trust." Touting its high levels of due diligence the firm hired former Secret Service members and formed AlphaMetrix Financial Investigations, which performed comprehensive background investigations on traders and advisers wishing to join the platform.
In 2010, the firm held its first summit at the Fountainebleu in Miami, with educational speakers and speed-dating for managers and investors. Harry Markopolis, best noted for his attempts to get the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate Bernie Madoff, was the keynote speaker, discussing the red flags surrounding the Madoff fraud.
Subsequent conferences dropped the educational seminars and focused on speed dating and high-profile speakers such as Tony Blair. Weekend networking events were sponsored by AlphaMetrix including water sports at the Monte Carlo Beach Club; "Crepes and Croquet" at the former home of Karl Lagerfeld; and spouse packages that included South Beach (Miami) walking tours, spa treatments and champagne cabanas.
A manager who preferred anonymity noted that while he had attended their conferences because there were "real" investors there, he didn't understand the math. "It wasn't clear to me how they made money with the platform. The numbers didn't seem to work."

Alongside Spain's Lladro, it is a world renowned series of products.
The Hummel figurines that Goebel is most famous for producing are uniformly "cute." The first figurines were sold in 1935, and have since become a kitsch icon. The figurines are all based on the drawings and paintings of children by sister Hummel. Though much of the art was done in the 1930s, the newer figurines have adopted a more contemporary appearance.
In addition to the figures of children (which are what most people think of as "Hummels"), there are also Hummel saints which bear no resemblance stylistically to the playful children figurines.
Sister Hummel's works were discovered by Franz Goebel after a small publisher began printing her artwork as postcards. Goebel started production of the figurines under the authorization of the Convent of Siessen. Although she died in 1946 from tuberculosis, Goebel carries her legacy.

NABLUS, West Bank (AP) — A Palestinian fertility doctor claimed Wednesday that he has used prisoners' sperm smuggled out of Israeli jails to help their wives have babies, and that five women have become pregnant so far.
Despite unlikely odds and difficult conditions, a fertility expert said the claims could be plausible.
There are about 4,500 Palestinians in Israeli jails, serving sentences for offenses ranging from stone throwing to killing Israeli civilians.
Most women seeking to become pregnant have husbands who were convicted of taking part in deadly militant attacks and are serving lengthy sentences. These prisoners are barred from having conjugal visits.
"We women are growing old, and our chances of having babies in the future is diminishing," said Rimah Silawi, 38, who said she is one month pregnant after undergoing IVF treatments that used her imprisoned husband's sperm. Her husband, Osama, is serving multiple life sentences for killing an Israeli and three Palestinians said to be collaborators with the Israeli military in the West Bank town of Jenin 22 years ago.
Dr. Salim Abu Khaizaran of the Razan Center for IVF in the West Bank city of Nablus said he has gathered 40 samples, and that 22 prisoners' wives have undergone IVF treatment. Five have been successful, including one woman who delivered her baby earlier this year. He said the success rate was low because of the difficulty in transporting the samples successfully. The Western rate of IVF success is about 25 percent in ideal hospital conditions.
Abu Khaizaran said he gives the service for free in solidarity with the prisoners.
"The wives of prisoners are suffering. They feel they are lonely because their husbands are behind bars, some for the rest of their lives, and they are eager to have babies that can make a difference in their lives," Abu Khaizaran said.
Relatives refused to say how the sperm is smuggled out, fearing the information would help Israeli authorities to prevent further attempts. They said the samples were usually carried out in eye droppers.
While he did not provide firm proof of paternity, he said his treatments received the consent of both sides of the families.
One prisoner's wife said her husband hid his sample in clothing that he was allowed to give to a visitor. She the sample was rushed to the clinic, where it was frozen. She said the trip took four hours. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she feared her husband would be punished.
Israel's prison authority said Abu-Khaizaran's claims were unlikely. "We place doubt in the ability of the security prisoners to accomplish such a task, considering the existing conditions and the tools at their disposal," said spokeswoman Sivan Weizman.
An independent fertility expert said the efforts were plausible.
Dr. Jennifer Kulp Makarov of the Maimonides Medical Center in New York said sperm could be viable for several hours outside the body, and IVF treatments only need "a few viable sperm" for success. The average sample has 40 million sperm, she said.
"It's possible," Kulp Makarov said. "After a few hours, you would still have a few million."
Palestinian lawyers who visit prisoners said it would be difficult, but not impossible, to smuggle sperm out of Israeli prisons. Although prisoners are separated from their visitors by a glass barrier, young children are allowed to hug their fathers and could potentially carry items out. Sympathetic prison guards might also be willing to look the other way.
"If you can sneak in a phone to a prison, then you can sneak sperm out," said lawyer Mahmoud Hassan.
With additional reporting by Diaa Hadid and Daniel Estrin in Jerusalem.

Rick Perry's Lawyer Calls Indictment 'Banana Republic Politics'
Texas Governor's Expanded Legal Team Shows Glimpse of How It Will Defend Republican
AUSTIN, Texas—An expanded team of lawyers for Gov. Rick Perry provided a preview Monday of how it intends to defend the Republican politician from a criminal indictment alleging that he abused his power by trying to oust a Democratic district attorney from office.
Veteran Houston trial lawyer Tony Buzbee, who said at a news conference in the state capital that he will now lead Mr. Perry's defense, called the indictment "banana republic politics" and noted that there are critics of the case across the political spectrum....

Dating Makes You Want to Die: But You Have to Do It Anyway
By: Daniel Holloway
Length: 224 pages
Release date: 09/02/2008
Available Formats: PDF, EPUB
Summary of Dating Makes You Want to Die: But You Have to Do It Anyway
You have two choices:
Be attacked by a wolverine or go on a date
If you're smart, you chose wolverine.
If not—well, wait, are you sure you don't want the wolverine?
Happily ever after isn't so easy anymore. It's all speed dating, matchmaking terror, and visits to your therapist. Whether it's the mortification, frustration, or just plain exhaustion that's got you ready to give up on love, this book is here to help. After all, there are only two ways out of the dating scene. One involves giving up all your possessions and taking a vow of chastity. The other involves finding a permanent (or semi-permanent, anyway) partner. This book will help you get through the latter.
From the bar scenes and the first sexual encounter to deciding whether to move in together, Dating Makes You Want to Die walks you through every stage of the dating process—and, like a Belarusian arms dealer, provides the heavy artillery you'll need to destroy the potential problems lurking in each one. Each chapter discusses the problems that can arise when dating, offers a remedy, and includes hilarious sidebars and quizzes to further help you prepare for the jungle out there. Some sanity-keeping tips include:
- How to make a first impression that is more "good" than "totally crazy."
- How to not panic the moment you realize you're actually in an honest-to-God relationship.
- Helpful, foolproof breakup lines for total damage control.
Intelligent, snarky, and entertaining, Dating Makes You Want to Die may make you actually want to live through a relationship.

Man hurt by rolling logs in Brentwood
BRENTWOOD — A man was hurt when logs fell on him as he removed a tree from property along Route 125 Saturday morning.
Brentwood Police Chief Wayne Robinson said the man had cut down the tree and was attempting to move some logs shortly before noon.
"He had the tree cut and was going to get ready to winch it, and it looked like he fell and three logs on a side hill rolled on him," Robinson said.
The man was taken to Elliot Hospital for treatment.
His name was not immediately available, fire officials said.

Arctic expedition pioneers technique for polar bear research
"The results are really exciting," says Eva Bellemain, project leader for SPYGEN. "This is the first time we have been able to extract DNA from a track left by a polar bear – we found not only the bear's DNA, but also that of a seal and a seagull. We know from observations by the WWF team that the bear in question had just killed a seal, and that seagull had been seen at the kill site too, so this one footprint tells the whole story."
In a rapidly changing environment like the Arctic, it's a challenge to maintain current information on polar bear populations.
"This method would be an invaluable tool for conservation biology" says Arnaud Lyet of WWF. "At present, researchers use expensive, invasive techniques to track the population size and health of wildlife such as polar bears. Using footprint DNA, we could dramatically cut the investment required, so monitoring populations could be done more easily."
From here, the team hopes to further refine its analysis of the bear DNA, so it can tell more about the animal. It also intends to see if the method can be applied to other rare or difficult to access wildlife.
"This is a great example of scientific innovation from the latest Arctic expedition and we are proud to have helped support the sample collection," says Susan Stuart, Sustainability Director for Canon Europe, "This discovery shows how investing in science in the Arctic has the potential to produce real change."

Nice new release from Tuff Scout :
Prince Hammer - Righteous Man
The riddim is definitely a vintage production (late 70s/early 80s ?) & sounds a bit familiar...anyone manage to recognise it ?

Roman wrote:This one is wicked 2 and it doesn't sounds like a new vocing to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prpkxeqkt7I But the youtube user seewhyaudio, (the one who does some work for Tuff Scout - he design the label artwork and does uploading to Youtube for the label) says something different:
"You're right in saying they re-use some older rhythms (so what's new!) but the vocal sessions are all new and the dub mixes etc are all fresh. Guaranteed. Peace, See Why"
Vinnie wrote:
i think at the moment seewhyaudio wrote that, he wasnt aware of future releases like hopeton lindo - territory
as kalcidis mentioned, it sounds like a reissue to me aswel
the original 7" press came also with a dub
skunkride wrote:OK seems it sounds old for a reason as it's a 1979 production from this album & not a new voicing as the rest of the Tuff Scout releases :
Roman wrote:
At the moment seewhyaudio wrote that the track called "Live It Up" by Moses (the same track I linked to in my previous post in this thread ) was already released on vinyl and uploaded on youtube. U'll find the comment quoted by me here - still exactly the same link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prpkxeqkt7I
And it wasn't Kalcidis - it was me who mentioned the Moses' tune

|SOA Manuals Index
On September 20, 1996, under intense public pressure, the Pentagon was forced to release training manuals that were used at the School of the Americas for years. These manuals advocated torture, extortion, blackmail and the targeting of civilian populations. A Washington Post article from 1996 by Dana Priest broke the story.
The release of these manuals proved what SOA Watch, thousands of Latin Americans and numerous human rights organizations had been saying for years: that U.S. taxpayer money had been used for the teaching of torture and repression.
Material from CIA and Army manuals written in the 1950's and 1960's was incorporated into these seven Spanish-language training guides. More than a thousand of these manuals were distributed for use in countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala, Ecuador and Peru, and at the School of the Americas between 1987 and 1991. An inquiry was triggered in mid-1991 when the US Southern Command evaluated the manuals for use in expanding military support programs in Colombia.
In March 1992, then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney received an investigative report on "Improper Material in Spanish-Language Intelligence Training Manuals." Classified SECRET, the report noted that five of the seven manuals "contained language and statements in violation of legal, regulatory or policy prohibitions" and recommended they be recalled. The memo is stamped: "SECDEF HAS SEEN."
Click here to read and download a timeline about the creation of these CIA and Army manuals.
The National Security Archive ran released their declassified documents dealing with all of the manuals in May 2004, after the Abu Ghraib scandal put torture at the hands of U.S. and U.S.-trained soldiers back in the news. Read "Prisoner Abuse: Patterns from the Past" here.
Lisa Haugaard of the Latin America Working Group wrote an instrumental piece about the manuals in 1997. Read her article, "Textbook Repression: U.S. Training Manuals Declassified" here.
The New York Times ran an article about the manuals' content, with excerpts, on October 6, 1996.
