Reviewed By Tina T (Albemarle, NC) Reviewed for a 2016 Kia Soul —11/11/2016 5:43 AM
Bought for 2016 Kia Soul Base. Fit perfect. Easy installation and it took appx 30 minutes. Basket comes in 2 pieces and fits together easy. Very sturdy. It does make a whistling sound while car in moving but I think with any rack/basket on top it would do the same thing. Whistling is not very loud and you do not have to raise your voice inside of car to hear over it. Very good value for money. autoanything.com was very helpful and knowledgeable and helped me select exactly what I needed.

"A lot of folks have been asking about the Next Hulk. The next time you see my Hulk it will be in the Avengers2. No plans for stand alone." Ruffalo then added, "I am not giving up on another stand alone HULK. But it's not in the works right now. One never knows what the future will bring."
Today, it seems as if the future of a new "Hulk" movie may be one step closer, as Ruffalo told Digital Spy that Marvel Studios has made the project a consideration. "I think they are, for the first time, entertaining the idea of it," he said.
PHOTOS: The Hulk at 50: We love him when he's angry
"Avengers: Age of Ultron," the follow-up to 2012's massively popular "The Avengers," has already begun filming and is set to hit theaters in May of next year, meaning Ruffalo's initial Twitter promise will stand.
Still, the news is manna for Hulk fans, many of which saw Ruffalo's take on tormented-scientist-turned-unlikely-green-hero Bruce Banner as the finest of the Hulk's big-screen adaptations. Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan called Ruffalo "the latest in a long line of Hulk portrayers, and perhaps the best." That line includes the Hulk/Banner combo of Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby in the classic '70s TV show and big-screen versions from Eric Bana in 2003 and Edward Norton in 2008.
In 2012, in the wake of "The Avengers" box-office record-shattering opening, Ruffalo talked to Hero Complex about an unlikely source of inspiration that he used for playing the character.
"I'm playing my 10-year-old son," he said. "Why we long for Hulk is from very early on, around that age, we're expected to behave a certain way, but we still have the force of nature just teeming through our bodies, and I see this conflict of trying to control all of these urges and at the same time still having them so strong. So I dedicate my performance to my 10-year-old boy."
Would you be excited to see Ruffalo star in a stand-alone Hulk film? Please let us know in the comments section below.

Executive Summary
Electronic communication includes any communication that is transmitted, acknowledged, stored, downloaded, displayed, or printed by an electronic communication system or service. Given the ubiquitous nature of electronic communication, critical to Commonwealth agencies' and organizations' ability to provide efficient constituent support, this policy focuses on the specific category of electronic messaging (i.e., email, instant messaging, etc.) communication and related threats that, if left unmitigated, may lead to a loss of data and/or system integrity, confidentiality, or availability.
Who This policy applies to
All agencies and entities governed by the overarching Enterprise Information Security Policy must adhere to requirements of this supporting policy.
- Executive Department Agencies, [1] in addition to any agency or third party that connects to the Commonwealth's wide area network (MAGNet), must comply with this policy.
- Executive Department Agencies are required to ensure compliance by any business partner that accesses Executive Department IT Resources or shared environments, e.g. MAGNet; and
- Executive Department Agencies are required to ensure compliance by third parties in any aspect of the process of providing goods and services to their agency. These include, but are not limited to, electronic data collection, storage, processing, disposal, dissemination and maintenance. Third parties that interact in any way with Executive Department Commonwealth IT Resources, e.g. MAGNet, are required to comply with this policy.
Other Commonwealth entities are encouraged to adopt, at a minimum, security requirements in accordance with this Enterprise Electronic Messaging Communications Security Policy or a more stringent agency policy that addresses agency specific and business related directives, laws, and regulations.
Policy Statement
Commonwealth agencies and organizations must continue to strive for electronic messaging communications reliability, availability, integrity, and performance by supporting enterprise and local agency efforts including, but not limited to, the following:
1. Enterprise Filtering
EOTSS currently filters Internet - MAGNet inbound and outbound email as follows:
1.1. Known Viruses: subject line, message body, and attachment(s). Emails containing files with extensions, which are affiliated with a virus, are discarded. Users must be aware that emails containing executable files may be discarded.
1.2. Content Spam: Including subject line and/or specific spam content requested by an agency or otherwise identified as spam.
1.3. RFC 2822 (see: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html): a standard specifying acceptable syntax for text messages sent between computer users, within the framework of "electronic mail" messages.
1.4. Message Segmentation: All multi-part MIME messages will be blocked at the gateway. Message segmentation allows a large message to be divided up into smaller messages for transmission. It is to be noted that these smaller messages may hide viruses and other malicious software. Therefore, message segmentation is banned.
Please Note: MAGNet-inbound Internet sourced email - including replies back to a MAGNet mail account message source - are scanned by filtering software.
2. Commonwealth Agency & Organization Filtering
Non-MassMail Agencies may continue to deploy local content filtering technology that screens agency-specific transmission of email, subject to restrictive attributes defined by each agency. Agencies that have documented that they have adopted and distributed to all new and current employees an acceptable use policy that states that employees have no expectation of privacy in their workplace email are empowered to content filter outgoing employee email with minimal risk of violating employees' privacy rights. Even in agencies that have such documentation, content filtering incoming email poses the risk of violating outside parties' rights under the Commonwealth's Privacy Law, Mass. Gen. L. ch. 214, and Wiretap Statute, Mass. Gen. L. ch. 272, sec. 99. Agency counsel should consult EOTSS' General Counsel prior to advising their clients that they may content filter incoming electronic mail.
3. Private Email Accounts
Use of private email (i.e., a commercial email system or service, separate and apart from an agency's primary email system) and "Public" Instant messaging (IM) have been primary sources of unauthorized intrusion (e.g., virus instantiation) and other instances of malware. Therefore, users who access and utilize private email and "Public" Instant messaging do so with the following understanding:
3.1. Private email or "Public" Instant messaging is not an authorized or official method of communicating business related information. Users are required to utilize their agency's designated email or IM technology, e.g. MassMail, Lync for any official business communications that are transmitted via email or IM.
3.2. Users are prohibited from downloading or sending attachments using their private email or IM accounts from inside MAGNet.
3.3. EOTSS reserves the right to log and monitor all traffic that enters or leaves Commonwealth managed networks regardless of whether the traffic is personal in nature or not. Therefore; access and use of a private email or public IM system from a Commonwealth ITR or from within a Commonwealth Managed network should not be considered private.
3.4. Users who are identified as being a source of unauthorized intrusion may be disconnected from the network. Re-establishing connection will be at the discretion of the Enterprise Security Office in consultation with the user's Senior Management.
4. Exception Requests
If an agency or organization determines that the use of private email and/or Instant Messaging is critical to its mission, the agency head or their designee must request an exception to this policy. Such a request must document reasons the exception is required, under what circumstances, duration, and access controls that will ensure that the agency has taken sufficient steps to mitigate or isolate the associated threat, (e.g., how email account users are prevented from simultaneous access to the agency's default email and private email accounts). Documented requests for exceptions must be submitted to EOTSS and the Enterprise Security Board for review and approval prior to agency implementation.
5. Additional Legal Issues
All electronic messages created or received by state employees using the Commonwealth's information technology resources are public record under the Commonwealth's Public Records Law, Mass. Gen. L. ch. 66, sec. 10, and most are therefore subject to public scrutiny. All such electronic messages are also records subject to the Commonwealth's Records Conservation Law, Mass. Gen. L. ch. 30, sec. 42, and must be disposed of, or retained according to the agency's disposition schedule and the Commonwealth's Records in Common disposition schedule. The majority of such messages are also potentially discoverable communications for purposes of litigation. Thus Agency heads and organization authorities must ensure that all electronic communications, are retained, disposed of, and disclosed, in compliance with the Public Records Law, the Records Conservation Law and the relevant discovery rules.
6. Compliance
Agencies within the Executive Department must comply with this Enterprise Electronic Messaging Communications Security Policy. All Commonwealth agencies and organizations must comply with this policy as a prerequisite for access to and/or participation within MAGNet, and/or to use information resources managed by EOTSS. Vendors, who seek to work with any agency or organization within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, must comply with this and all the Commonwealth's Enterprise Security Policies, Standards and Procedures as published by EOTSS.
Roles and Responsibilities
All agencies and entities governed by the overarching Enterprise Information Security Policy are subject to the referenced roles and responsibilities in addition to those specifically stated within this supporting policy. The roles and responsibilities associated with implementation and compliance with this policy follow:
Assistant Secretary for Information Technology
- The Assistant Secretary for Information Technology is responsible for the approval and adoption of the Enterprise Electronic Messaging Communications Security Policy and its revisions.
Secretariat Chief Information Officer (SCIO) and Agency Head
- Agency Heads and/or their designees are responsible for ensuring that employees, contractors, and/or business partners that may be affected, are aware of this policy.
Secretariat or Agency Information Security Officer (ISO)
- Ensure that the goals and requirements of the Enterprise Electronic Messaging Communications Security Policy are implemented and met.
Enterprise Security Board (ESB)
- Recommend revisions and updates to this policy and related standards.
The Executive Office of Technology Services and Security (EOTSS)
- After review of any related recommendations of the Enterprise Security Board, issue revisions and updates to this policy and related standards.
User Responsibility
- Commonwealth agency and organization users must not introduce electronic messages, which may damage the local or enterprise (MAGNet) environment. Items, which could be considered a detriment, include, but are not limited to viruses, distributed denial of service attacks, Trojans, Worms, and/or personal electronic communications contributing to network congestion.
- If the user is unsure as to the identity of the sender of an email, the recipient should determine if the email should be deleted without opening it (it is advisable to do so relative to protecting the physical and digital assets of the Commonwealth). The recipient may telephone the sender to ask if the email is legitimate. The recipient may also consult CommonHelp for guidance.
- The user should have their email configured so that an email is not automatically opened when a previous email is closed, deleted or moved.

William (possibly Willm) Pitman born about 1670 in Somerset, died 1719
The farthest back I can trace my Pitman ancestors in Somerset is William Pitman, possbily spelt Willm.
He was born about 1670 in Somerset, possibly in the village of Lyng.
He died in 1719 or 1720 and was buried in Lyng.
William Pitman married Joan Coles, who herself was born about 1672.
They had 2 sons - Thomas and John.
I can't find any earlier information on who William's parents were, or where William himself was born. If anyone else has research around this time that might help, please get in touch.

|Antler size and characteristics vary on a regional basis, but restraint can dictate just how big those antlers get. In reality, hunters are the managers of this resource because each time a trigger is pulled, a management decision is made. Unlike bass fishing, there is no catch-and-release scenario. In order to reduce the harvest of young bucks, hunters must be able to estimate the age of bucks in the wild.
It takes time to critique the rack and physical attributes of a buck, but time is often limited. Aging deer on the hoof remains an educated guess.
Even seasoned hunters make mistakes. Experience remains paramount to one's ability to estimate the age of live deer.
When attempting to age deer in the bush, the nutritional status of the animals must also be considered. For example, in South Texas, periodic drought negatively impacts antler development due to the sub-par range conditions they create. Thus sportsmen employing antler size criteria to complement their age estimate in this region must pay particular attention to weather conditions during the spring and summer antler-growing periods.
In dry years with poor range conditions, average antler size will drop significantly, resulting in underestimating a buck's age. Worst yet, prime-aged bucks can be harvested because hunters consider the animals inferior (antler-size-wise) for their age and remove them for what is often referred to as management bucks, whereas if passed over, these bucks could develop exceptional antlers in proceeding years under ideal conditions.
Three characteristics are employed to estimate age of live bucks. These include antler size, body characteristics, and behavior. The following is an overview of characteristics that can be employed in the field to age whitetails on the hoof.
A yearling buck can be described as a doe with antlers. Ears are semi-pointed at the terminal end, and the nose is well defined and square in appearance. Their legs appear long and thin because their body is slim.
The number of antler points is not a reliable feature when estimating age.
2.5-Year-Old Bucks
At two years of age, antlers are not large, but can make you take a second look. They are larger than yearlings, but their legs remain long in proportion to their body. Their belly remains firm with no sag whatsoever.
3.5-Year-Old Bucks
Middle-aged bucks portray a muscled neck and deeper chest, yet a distinct junction between the neck and shoulder exists. Some describe their appearance as that of a well-conditioned racehorse. Muscling absent in 2.5-year-olds begins to become obvious in the third year. Their chest begins to appear as large as their rump. Antler spread is often outside the ears and on quality habitat impressive antlers can develop. For inexperienced individuals, three-year-olds are often mistaken for mature bucks.
4.5-Year-Old Bucks
Bucks mature at four years of age and lose the racehorse appearance. The obvious junction between the neck and the shoulders fades away as the neck becomes firmly muscled, appearing almost as large as the chest. The animal is muscled throughout, but their stomach remains taut, yet rounded, and their back remains flat. The legs begin to appear shorter and no longer out of proportion. Antlers can be large, as they have attained 90% of their size. The tarsal glands become noticeably larger and darker, chocolate to black. Behaviorally, four-year-olds are the most aggressive and active age class during the rut.
5.5-Year-Old Bucks
At this age bucks are approaching their maximum antler-growing years, thus antlers can be large yet indistinguishable from genetically superior four-year-old males. The principal characteristic defining this age class is an obvious sag in the stomach and a slight drop in the back. The nose is often rounded, losing the square confirmation characteristic of younger males. Their legs appear thicker as well. During the rut their necks are extremely muscled, inflated-like in appearance, eliminating the juncture between the chest and neck. The neck and brisket area appears to become one.
Five-year-olds are in peak muscular condition with little sign of aging. The tarsals on some become obviously chocolate brown to wet-black, oftentimes extending down the entire inside of their legs. One other characteristic.
Often at this age bucks will start to develop narrow, squinty eyes. Watch for it.

Hey guys!
Last Thursday, I got an early birthday surprise and by me joining this forum I bet that you all could guess it's a pitty. So I guess with this introduction I should go ahead and introduce myself, huh? My parents decided to name me Sydnee but I often go by Syd. I have always had a dog through my whole life and all of them had some type of pitbull in them except for one (my spoiled rotten boarder collie/corgie) and this new pitty that I had happily recieved for my birthday was the first one I had not rescued from the shelter. She is about 5 weeks old and before you guys get all upset with me saying she is too young, her mother had stopped feeding her and understandibly because she had 10 other siblings. She was also the smallest out of all of them. I took her in and took her to the vet just the other day to hear that she is a great weight and got all of the information I could get about young pups. She eats like a champ and is super healthy. So all is well in that. We named her Priscilla because it just sounds like a princess name. Her new sister, Pause, is the spoiled pooch I was talking about earlier and HOPEFULLY you guys won't mind seeing her every now and then
Here is the princess you have all been waiting for!!
Welcome to my world!

Twins Bullpen Falters Tuesday
The Kansas City Royals won the series opener with the Twins 6-1 last night at Target Field. The teams were scoreless heading into the eighth inning when the Royals scored five runs to earn the win.
James Shields dominated the Twins for seven innings, allowing only a single to Josh Willingham in his start. Kevin Correia shut down the Royals for seven innings before Jared Burton melted down in the eighth inning.
The Twins and Royals will play again Wednesday night at Target Field. Danny Duffy will start for Kansas City opposite the Twins' Andrew Albers.

American lion
The American lion (Panthera leo atrox or P. atrox[note 1]) – also known as the North American lion, Naegele's giant jaguar or American cave lion – is an extinct lion of the family Felidae, endemic to North America and northwestern South America during the Pleistocene epoch (0.34 million to 11,000 years ago), existing for about 0.33 million years.[2] It has been shown by genetic analysis to be a sister lineage to the Eurasian cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea or P. spelaea).[1]
The American lion is one of the largest types of cat ever to have existed, slightly larger than the early Middle Pleistocene primitive cave lion, P. leo fossilis and about 25% larger than the modern African lion.[3]
The American lion is an extinct animal that originated in North America and is believed to have colonized northwestern South America as part of the Great American Interchange.[4] (However, the fossil remains found in Peru may actually correspond to large jaguars.[5][6]) The head-body length of the American lion is estimated to have been 1.6–2.5 m (5 ft 3 in–8 ft 2 in)[7] and it would have stood 1.2 m (4 ft) at the shoulder. Thus, it was smaller than its contemporary competitor for prey, the giant short-faced bear, which was the largest carnivoran of North America at the time. The American lion was not as heavily built as the saber-toothed cat Smilodon populator, which may have weighed up to 400 kg (880 lb).[8] Sorkin (2008) estimated the American lion to weigh roughly 420 kg (930 lb),[9][10] but a more recent study showed an average weight for males of 256 kg (564 lb) and 351 kg (774 lb) for the largest specimen analyzed.[11]
Around 100 specimens of American lions have been recovered from the La Brea Tar Pits, in Los Angeles, so their body structure is well known. The features and teeth of the extinct American lion strongly resemble modern lions, but they were considerably larger. The American lion is believed to be the largest subspecies of lion.
The American lion was initially considered a distinct species of Pantherinae, with the scientific name Panthera atrox /ˈpænθərə ˈætrɒks/, which means "cruel" or "fearsome panther" in Latin. Overall, the skull of this cat was most like that of the jaguar (P. onca). Some later authors accepted this view, but other experts considered the American lion most closely related to the African lion (P. leo) and its extinct Eurasian relative, the cave lion (P. leo spelaea or P. spelaea). Later paleontologists assigned the extinct American cat as a subspecies of P. leo (P. leo atrox) rather than as a separate species.[11][note 1]
Cladistic studies using morphological characteristics have been unable to resolve the phylogenetic position of the American lion. At least one authority considers the American lion (along with the cave lion), to be more closely related to the tiger, P. tigris, citing a comparison of skull shapes; the braincase, in particular, appears to be especially similar to the braincase of a tiger.[12] The American lion and Eurasian cave lion were also suggested to be successive offshoots of a lineage leading to an extant lion-leopard clade.[13] A more recent study comparing the skull, jaw, and teeth of the American lion with other pantherines concluded it was not a lion and was distinct from all extant species. The authors suggested it may have arisen from pantherines that migrated into North America in the mid-Pleistocene epoch and gave rise to both American lions and jaguars (P. onca).[11] Another morphological study grouped the American lion with P. leo and P. tigris, and ascribed similarities to P. onca to convergent evolution.[14]
However, mitochondrial DNA sequence data from remains of the American lion from Wyoming and Alberta show it is a sister lineage to the cave lion, and likely arose when an early cave lion population became isolated south of the North American continental ice sheet. The most recent common ancestor of the two populations apparently lived about 340,000 (194,000–489,000) years ago.[1] The most recent common ancestor of the P. atrox lineage is estimated to have lived about 200,000 (118,000–246,000) years ago. The dates imply that genetic isolation from P. spelaea had begun by the time of the Illinoian glaciation, about 300,000–130,000 years ago (a spelaea population is known to have been present in eastern Beringia by that period, where it persisted until at least 11,925 ± 70 years ago[1]). This separation was maintained during the Sangamon interglacial, about 130,000–110,000 years ago, as well as during later interstadials of the earlier glaciation and those of the following Wisconsinan glaciation, about 110,000–10,000 years ago. Boreal forest may have contributed to the separation during warmer intervals; alternatively, a species barrier may have existed.[1] The study also indicates the present-day lion is the closest extant relative of P. atrox and P. spelaea.[1] (The same study shows Eurasian and Beringian cave lions to be genetically indistinguishable.[1])
The earliest lions known in the Americas south of Alaska are from the Sangamonian Stage (the last interglacial). After that, the American lion spread widely from Alberta to Maryland to Peru. In North America, it has been found in more locations in the west than in the east,[15] and as far south as Chiapas, Mexico.[16] It was generally not present in the same areas as the jaguar, as the latter favored forests, while American lions preferred open habitats.[7] Like many other large mammals, it went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene. The most recent fossil, from Edmonton, dates to 11,355 ± 55 years ago.[1] By then, the American lion was one of the abundant Pleistocene megafauna, a wide variety of very large mammals that lived during the Pleistocene. The most abundant remains have come from the La Brea Tar Pits.
In some areas of its range, the American lion lived under cold climatic conditions. They probably used caves or fissures for shelter from the cold weather.[17] They may have lined their dens with grass or leaves, as the Siberian tiger does, another great cat that currently lives in the north.[17]
Fewer American lions are in the La Brea tar pits than other predators such as saber-toothed cats (Smilodon fatalis) or dire wolves (Canis dirus), which suggests they may have been smart enough to avoid the hazard.[3] American lions likely preyed on North American deer, horses (now extinct), camels, and tapirs, and American bison, mammoths, and other large, herbivorous animals.[17][18] This species disappeared about the same time as other megafaunal species during the Quaternary extinction event, which wiped out many of the species on which the American lion would have preyed. Lion bones have been found in the trash heaps of Paleolithic American Indians, suggesting human predation may have contributed to its extinction.[7][17]
A replica of the jaw of the first specimen of American lion discovered can be seen in the hand of a statue of paleontologist Joseph Leidy, which is currently standing outside the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.

Cozad Mayor Tetley withdraws from election
COZAD—Cozad Mayor Greg Tetley has withdrawn from the 2010 election, notifying officials Feb. 25, and leaving Nancy Meyer and Brian Woldt as the candidates on the ballot. Meyer has served as a Cozad city councilwoman since 1994. She stated her reason for running as, "I chose to be a candidate for mayor because the City of Cozad is facing big challenges." Woldt serves as the Dawson County Emergency Management Coordinator and has been involved in many community activities. Several other county candidates have also filed for election.—reported in the Tri-City Trib.
Broken Bow hostage situation ends deadly
BROKEN BOW—On Thursday, Feb. 18, Eve Lankford's ex-husband appeared at her Broken Bow home and the scene wasn't good. Robert Lankford, 20, had a gun and threats were made. Both Lankfords are formerly of Broken Bow but were more recently living in Kansas. She left Kansas out of fear of her ex and to protect her one-year-old daughter. By early Friday morning she had been kept against her will, and suggested they go for food at a McDonald's where she worked. She went inside leaving her daughter in the car with him to acquire help. "I had to, I had to go in by myself to get the help," said Eve, otherwise he would have come inside also. When the police responded and confronted him, he produced a gun and shot himself. He was pronounced dead after being transported to the medical center.—reported in the Custer County Chief.
Q125 birthday bash planned at Ogallala
OGALLALA—Ogallala's Quasquicentennial, 125 year, birthday celebration will take place on March 6 with numerous events scheduled. Opening ceremonies will include Tim Bailey and Miss Nebraska Brittany Jeffers, and guest speaker District 47 Senator Ken Schilz. A lunch will be served as well as children's games, an old-fashioned cake walk, history booths and Mansion on the Hill tours. Activities are to take place at the Keith County Fairgrounds beginning at 11 a.m.—reported in the Keith County News.
Water service disrupted by main leak
CURTIS—Eustis had been without "safe" drinking water since mid-afternoon on Feb. 17. The Village's water system had to be totally shut down because of a leak in a 10-inch water main. Because the system had to be shut down and then recharged, proper steps had to be taken to ensure the water was safe to drink. The leak had been detected at the intersection of Main and Hendricks, just south of the Village Pie Maker, and the lowest spot in the village. After repairs were made the system had to be repressurized and the water had to be re-chlorinated and flushed with samples to be tested before being considered safe for human consumption.—reported in the Frontier County Enterprise.
'The End of an Era' caps Cardinal season
ARNOLD—Members of the Arnold High School band recently played the school song at the last pep rally of the basketball season. Wearing the school colors of red and white, students, residents and alumni packed the stands for the special rally, as Arnold said "so long" to its beloved Cardinal mascot. A slide show set to music titled "The End of an Era," took a look back at the Cardinal teams dating from the 1950's to present, and ended with the roar of "The Bobcat," the new mascot for next year's combined Arnold/Callaway athletic teams.—reported in the Arnold Sentinel.
New bank branch opens in Callaway
CALLAWAY—Nebraska State Bank & Trust Co. recently opened its branch bank in Callaway. The Callaway branch bank, located at 105 North Grand Ave., is part of Nebraska State Bank & Trust's plan to extend services and conveniences to their customers.

She hadn't even heard of Shoofly Pie before, but discovered it in the the P+P Bible when we were planning our other roommate's GF tiramisu. The Shoofly Pie recipe is right next to the Black Bottomed Tiramisu Tart.
Of course, I was going to take the helm of this GF Shoofly Pie craze sweeping the apartment. But you all know how I feel about pie.
If you don't know how I feel about pie, I can sum it up thusly: in the amount of time it takes to get the pie dough resting in the pie pan (resting! not baked!), I can have a two layer cake baked and cooling on the table.
I'm just sayin'.
this pie doesn't say "ya'll come in," it says "feestelijk inhalen alleman"According to RLB, Shoofly Pie comes from Pennsylvania Dutch Country, which makes everyone I tell that to tell me that they thought it came from the South. Apparently, food historian Will Weaver discovered that it was one of the pie recipes handed out during the US Centennial in Philadelphia in 1876. So everyone, please take note: Shoofly Pie is NOT from the South.
Shoofly Pie is basically a molasses/gingerbready filling baked inside a pie crust. My ex-roomie's boyfriend likened the pie to Treacle Tart, which is Harry Potter's favorite dessert and so I am totally okay with that.
the gooey, THE GOOEY
June 10, 2007
Name of Pie: Gluten Free Shoofly Pie, aka GF Treacle Tart
Occasion: My Roommate Is Parasite Free!
Constituents: GF Shoofly Pie, recipe based on RLB's Shoofly Pie
I hemmed and hawed about making this pie because I am having trouble in the GF baking world. My birthday GF tiramisu came out a bit grainy which is completely unacceptable. The only thing I can think of, is that some percentage of cornstarch is a good thing in the GF baking experience, as that ingredient was in every GF thing I've baked except my birthday tiramisu.
So this time, I decided to use the GF Mix and add some amount of cornstarch. How much? I didn't know. This was the problem.
I finally bucked up and started in on the pie crust. I made the Flaky Cream Cheese Pie Crust, but with 124 grams of GF Flour Mix and 20 grams of cornstarch...just 'cause. I realised that all these instructions for resting up the dough are to make sure the gluten doesn't overdevelop; I don't have a gluten problem here, people, so WTF! I'm not resting the dough!
Well, I did refrigerate the dough once or twice, just to make sure the butter didn't get too soft.
check out my butter flakes!
Anyhoo, the freaking pastry dough finally came together and I got it in the pie plate, crimped the edges, and shoved it in the refrigerator.
see, crimped pie crust
Then, I turned my attention to the filling.
A Shoofly Pie is made up of two different parts: a gooey molasses-coffee part and a crumbly flour-butter part.
Of course, I got all flustered about the crumbly flour-butter part. What was I going to do about the flour? The recipe called for all-purpose flour, which has more protein than cake flour. After too much deliberation, I remembered my sweet sorghum flour, which has more protein than any of the other GF flours I currently have in my pantry. After some brilliant math skills, I decided to use 70 grams sorghum flour, 40 grams potato starch, 35 grams tapioca flour, and 15 grams cornstarch...just 'cause.
I then realised that I was supposed to have chilled 115 grams of butter...so I measured it out and shoved it in the refrigerator.
the flour-butter-spice crumble
Next I had to cut the chilled butter into the flour/golden sugar/spice/etc mix, which took FOREVER, and then, THEN, I was SO ready to put the pie together and bake it up!
the molasses-coffee-baking powder
So, I added the baking powder to the warm coffee, which was neat because the whole thing got all fizzy and active, and then I stirred in the molasses and poured that whole thing into the pie plate. Then I sprinkled the flour crumble mix evenly over the top and baked that sucker for 45 minutes.
step 1: pour into unbaked pie shell
step 2: splash some of the molasses stuff on yourself, and find some later in your "cleav" as Joelf likes to call it
step 3: sprinkle the flour mix evenly over the top
step 4: bake for 45 minutes, and yum
Then, we ate it with some coffee ice cream and it was good. The deep and hearty flavors of molasses and coffee were very warming. This would be a good winter pie.
serving suggestion: DO IT
I couldn't sleep at all that night, because of all the caffeine in the pie and ice cream. I guess that's why RLB says traditionally this pie is served warm for breakfast.
The GF pie crust was very thin, crisp, and brittle. I guess it was a little flaky, but I wasn't very impressed.
However, I had saved the last bits of the pie dough and rolled it up with some cinnamon and sugar and this morning I baked it in the toaster oven. This time the crust was buttery, and flaky, oh so flaky, and tender and crisp. I could not tell it was GF, and I could tell that it was freaking delicious. I don't know why it tasted better today than it did in the pie--maybe I'm rolling the dough too thin or something. But today--today that crust was the bomb.

READING, Pa. - April 15, 2014 --An eastern Pennsylvania man is behind bars on allegations that he tried to snatch a baby from her stroller.
WFMZ-TV says court documents allege that 33-year-old Nevin Walls tried to lift the baby from her stroller as her mother stood in line Monday at the welfare office in downtown Reading.
The baby's mother, Destinea Torres, told police that Walls kept looking at her 2-month-old daughter and then grabbed the infant but couldn't get her out of the stroller because she was strapped in.
A struggle ensued and the office security guard stepped in to help Torres.
Walls was charged with simple assault and reckless endangerment and sent to the Berks County jail on $100,000 bail. It couldn't immediately be determined if he has a lawyer.

WASHINGTON (AP) — White House officials say President Barack Obama's national security team is briefing the president on the upheaval in Egypt and their conversations by phone with leaders in the region.
In a statement issued Thursday, White House officials say calls have been made to officials in Egypt and elsewhere to convey the importance of a quick and responsible return of full authority to a democratically elected civilian government.
The statement says U.S. officials are also pushing for a transparent political process without violence in Egypt and urging the new government to avoid any arbitrary arrests of ousted President Mohammed Morsi or his supporters.
Calls were made to officials in Egypt, Israel, Qatar, Turkey and Norway. Obama was briefed in the White House Situation Room.

Two Army Corps of Engineers employees and a third man charged in a $20 million bribery, money laundering and kickback scheme will remain in jail as they await trial, a federal magistrate ruled Thursday, as prosecutors argued the defendants posed flight risks because they could face decades-long prison sentences if convicted.
A fourth man will also remain at least temporarily in jail pending additional arguments on Tuesday.
The four were arrested Tuesday in what federal prosecutors describe as one of the largest federal contracting scams in the nation's history. The indictment, unsealed Tuesday, has prompted calls for investigation from several members of Congress who want to know how the alleged scam _ which spanned four years _ could have gone undetected and whether better controls and oversight are needed.
The defendants are accused in a plot to direct government work to an information technology subcontractor in exchange for kickbacks that prosecutors say paid for real estate, sports cars, fancy watches and clothing and first-class airline tickets. They appeared in U.S. District Court Thursday in orange prison jumpsuits, but did not address the judge.
Kerry F. Khan, an Army Corps of Engineers program manager with authority to certify work orders and order products and services through agency contracts, waived his right to a detention hearing and agreed to remain locked up. U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson ordered detained Khan's son, Lee A. Khan, and another Army Corps employee, Michael A. Alexander. A fourth defendant, Harold F. Babb, will remain held until at least Tuesday after his lawyer requested additional time to review the case and prepare arguments..
Prosecutors say the case against the four men is overwhelming and argued they had the assets and incentives to flee. Alexander has traveled abroad at least 23 times in the last decade, including 19 trips to South Korea, where prosecutors say he had a mistress. Federal agents searching his home on Tuesday found more than $180,000 in cash, said prosecutor Michael Atkinson. Because the investigation is continuing and involves other "corrupt government contractors," Atkinson said, there are government witnesses with incentive to help Alexander flee.
Alexander's lawyer, Christopher Davis, argued that his client's wife was ill with cancer and that the government had plenty of ways to ensure Alexander's future court appearances and to insulate him from government witnesses.
"She needs him, and I don't think the United States needs him in the D.C. jail as much as she needs him right now," Davis said.
Lee Khan, prosecutors say, poses a risk to the community because he was recorded threatening to kill his brother _ who was imprisoned in a felony drug trafficking case _ after his brother threatened to snitch on his family if he didn't get a cut of the proceeds. He was ultimately paid nearly $400,000 to buy his silence, court papers allege.
"If Mr. Lee Khan is a threat to a family member, his own brother, it's reasonable for the court to conclude that he would be a similar threat to other government witnesses," Atkinson said.
Khan's lawyer, Edward Sussman, called the threat a "quick reaction to a volatile situation" and said there was no indication any step was taken to carry out the treat.
Prosecutors say Babb, who had been director of contractors for Eyak Technology LLC, tried to conceal the scheme by transferring $2 million of the proceeds to the Bahamas and $218,000 to Panama. He also had $10,000 in his home when agents searched it, prosecutors say.
Eyak Technology is a subsidiary of an Alaska Native Corporation with Virginia operations. It was the prime contractor for a five-year, $1 billion contract administered by the Army Corps of Engineers. The indictment says the chief technology officer of a Virginia-based subcontractor on that contract _ identified in the indictment only as Company A _ submitted phony and inflated quotes for its services to EyakTek, which passed on the invoices to the government. EyakTek subtracted its profit margin and then paid the remainder to Company A, and $20 million in falsely inflated invoices were funneled back to the four defendants, the indictment says.
EyakTek says it has cooperated with the investigation, and that Babb has been fired.
Critics say the charges illustrate unfair procurement advantages enjoyed by Alaska Native Corporations in obtaining lucrative federal contracts. U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who chairs a Senate subcommittee on contracting oversight, introduced a bill last year that would strip the corporations of an edge. In an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, McCaskill said the amount of money in these contracts is "enough to make you dizzy."
"It is scandalous that we have not been able to put a stop to this," she said.
McCaskill said she'd rather see the federal prosecutions take its course than call for another hearing on Capitol Hill. But on Wednesday, two House Democrats, Reps. Tim Bishop and Edward Markey, called for congressional investigations or hearings into the allegations.

The Chicago Fire officially received a significant bump in experience Tuesday as German World Cup veteran Arne Friedrich trained with his new teammates for the first time. A veteran of 82 caps for Die Mannschaft, Friedrich was open about his desire to come to Chicago from early on.
"I love America," the Friedrich told Chicago-Fire.com Tuesday. "The last few years I've been here on vacation to different places. Chicago is one of the best cities in my eyes and that was the reason I wanted to come play for the Fire."
Having played in two FIFA World Cups and two European championships for Germany, Friedrich's accolades at the international level are plenty but he also brings nearly a decade of Bundesliga experience to the Fire. The defender made his way to the German topflight in 2002, joining Hertha Berlin from second division side Arminia Bielefeld.
The move helped Friedrich work his way into the German national team and put him on the path to becoming one of Hertha's most consistent players. Named club captain in 2004, Friedrich would go on to appear in 231 matches and score 14 goals for the side before their relegation in 2010 prompted a move to stay in the topflight with VfL Wolfsburg.
Friedrich didn't taste quite the same success with Die Wölfe as two slipped discs in his back in the span of just over a year limited him to just 15 appearances through 2011. Just over a month into the new Bundesliga campaign, Friedrich and the club amicably parted ways this past September, leaving many to question if his health is up to par for MLS play.
What many don't know is that not long before his announcement as a Fire player, Friedrich had already been to Chicago to undergo thorough physicals to get a better picture of his health. The visit resulted in the club's medical staff giving him a clean bill.
"The back is no problem," Friedrich said. "I had a good physical test and medical check initially and everything was ok. I did another check on Monday and I haven't had any problems."
German Connection
With his signing, Friedrich writes his name among Torsten Frings (Toronto), Lothar Matthaeus (MetroStars) and Frank Rost (New York Red Bulls) in the category of well-known Germans past and present to come to MLS. In fact it was the latter who helped convince him that a move to MLS might be desirable.
"I talked about it with Frank Rost. He told me about the strength of the league and thought it would be a good experience for me. When I came to Chicago for my physicals I got to meet the coaching staff and see the facilities and they treated me well. For me that was nice and I decided to sign here."
It was also while he was here that the Fire utilized another former German-based player to help grease the wheels.
"I met Pavel [Pardo] and he said it's a wonderful place to live and play. His words were important to me because he was obviously was a big part of Stuttgart's championship side a few years ago. We're both here because we want to be successful."
Combined, the two veterans have played in four World Cups, five continental championships and hold 250 of the team's 302 senior international caps. Much like Pardo, Friedrich sees it as part of his duties to be an example for young defenders Jalil Anibaba, Austin Berry and Hunter Jumper.
"Helping younger players along is definitely one of my tasks. I want to help the club with my experience, I've obviously played 82 times for the national team and I hope I can help here both on and off the pitch."
As for the immediate task at hand, Friedrich says has one focus.
"After the last two seasons, the team goal is to make the playoffs, right now that's the most important thing. From there, we'll see what happens for us."

The Year in Operating Systems: No battle of big ideas
Small change for 2009
Unix break out, or bottled up?
Unix is essentially - and embarrassingly - dead on the desktop, so Unix operating system makers have the luxury of only having to worry about servers. Of course, if IBM and Hewlett-Packard had ported their respective AIX and HP-UX Unixes to x64 iron and then kept pace with x64 and related graphics enhancements, their workstations business might have not died off.
Then again, Sun Microsystems still claims to be a workstation vendor, and it has re-embraced x64 processors and it doesn't really have much of a workstation biz. This is one of those cases where Windows and Linux just seem to win.
IBM's AIX saw very little development action this year, with version 6.1 having been delivered in November 2007 - a few months after the initial Power6-based servers hit the market. AIX 6.1 featured tweaks to take advantage of the Power6 iron, including the new decimal and AltiVec math units on the chip, and also has a substantially reworked hypervisor, now called PowerVM. It has had many names.
In September this year, IBM created an Enterprise Edition of AIX 6.1, which included what used to be an add-on to provide workload partitions (WPARs) in addition to logical partitions (LPARs). WPARs are akin to virtual private servers, which have a shared kernel and file system but which look like separate AIX instances as far as system admins and applications are concerned. WPARs are similar to Sun's containers for Solaris. LPARs are akin to virtual machine partitions, and they run whole AIX instances with their own kernels and file systems.
AIX 6.1 Enterprise Edition also included a tool called Workload Partition Manager, which allows workloads to be live migrated around AIX boxes on a network, and a bunch of Tivoli provisioning tools. Basically, if you get Enterprise Edition, the pricing works out that IBM is giving away the Tivoli tools for free.
IBM has been mum about future AIX development, except to admit that AIX 6.2 and AIX 7 are coming down the pike.
The main changes that HP made this year have to do with packaging as well. In April, HP created four different packages of HP-UX 11i v3 concurrent with the first update of that operating system, which was initially launched (and late, I might add) in November 2007.
Now there is a base edition, a virtual server edition, a high availability edition, and a data center edition that includes the whole shebang. Basically, HP stripped out its nPar and vPar virtualization into a distinct edition and made it possible for customers to do high availability clustering without having to take everything in the stack.
The updates to HP-UX 11i v3 this year also allowed for PA-RISC and Itanium machines to host earlier 11i v2 instances inside vPar partitions. Up until now, vPars had to have all operating systems at the same level on the box. HP-UX 11i v3 already supports the forthcoming quad-core Itanium processors codenamed Tukwila, so HP doesn't have to do this with a future update.

Surgical Technology Program and Coordinator Win National Awards
The Bluegrass Community and Technical College has received the annual merit award from the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) for achieving a 100% pass rate on the Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) examination between August 1, 2012 and July 31, 2013. Fourteen students took the test during that time.
"Thanks to my students, the Surgical Technology program has made a positive impact on patient care in Central Kentucky. It continues to be recognized as one of the top programs in the United States," said Surgical Technology program director Kevin Craycraft.
Graduates obtaining national certification as a CST demonstrate, by examination, understanding of the basic competencies for safe patient care in the operating room. The CST is widely recognized in the health care community as the foremost credential for surgical technologists in the nation, and is required for employment in many local, state and national health care organizations.
Bluegrass Community and Technical College's Surgical Technology program coordinator has also received a national award. Kevin Craycraft is a recipient of the Fellow of the Association of Surgical Technologists (F.A.S.T.) award. He was recognized during the Opening Ceremony at the 2013 Association of Surgical Technologists (AST) 44th Annual National Conference held in May in New Orleans, LA.
"The Fellow of the Association of Surgical Technologists (F.A.S.T.) designation is the culmination of my dedication to the profession of Surgical Technology and care of the surgical patients," Craycraft said. He has been a member of the Association of Surgical Technologists and a Certified Surgical Technologist for 25 years.
Craycraft began teaching at Bluegrass Community and Technical College in 2001 and has instructed approximately 180 graduates of the Surgical Technology program. "I educate the future surgical technologist with the philosophy that they can be an advocate for one patient at a time. As an instructor, I get to be an advocate for multiple patients at a time via my graduates. Its why I teach," he said.
He currently serve as the Co-Chair of the KCTCS Surgical Technology Curriculum and Rules Committees, providing leadership in major revisions to the Rules and Curriculum for KCTCS. Craycraft was appointed to the AST Education amp; Professional Standards Committee (EPSC) in 2007 and two times since, and has worked on developing recommended standards for practice of surgical technology in addition to other projects.
"I have dedicated my life to surgical technology and am proud to be a CST, AST member and an educator in a profession that makes such a difference in the lives of surgical patients," Craycraft said.
The F.A.S.T. award is one of ASTs highest honors designed to provide recognition to those members who have significantly contributed to the profession as practitioners, educators, researchers, and administrators. Recipients of the F.A.S.T. are recognized as having upheld the highest standards and traditions of the surgical technology profession, including their devotion to the advancement of the practice of surgical technology through volunteer professional and community activities.
For more about the CST examination and about the NBSTSA, visit the NBSTSA website at www.nbstsa.org. Information about the AST and the F.A.S.T award can be found at www.ast.org.

The July 4 holiday is summer entertaining at its best.
We pack the picnic basket and head out to relax with family and friends or light the grill and invite them over for an Independence Day celebration.
Given that, we don't want to stay in the kitchen with the oven turned on any longer than we have to. And if we are outside, we want something that's going to be refreshing and cool.
With abundant sunshine and high temperatures forecast near 90 degrees in the extended forecast on Saturday and Sunday, cool, shady spots are going to be in demand.
The fourth of July is almost here. With the holiday falling on Sunday, there are two days of professional fireworks shows in this area to choose from. Here are some of the local events:
– Rock Hill is hosting Red, White and Boom at 6 p.m. July 3 at the Old Town Amphitheater on Black Street. There will be children's activities, live music and food vendors. For details, call (803) 329-8756 or e-mail email@example.com.
The natural appeal of Kay Zaitz' yard at 202 W. Springs St. really draws attention. Chock-full of perennials and woodsy plant material, the yard has been named the June Yard of the Month by the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs.
"The garden of Kay Zaitz is absolutely a veritable display of most plants known to mankind," said Jackie Palmer, YOTM chairwoman. "She has a vast array of different specimens, planted cottage-style."
When Brittany Hill downloaded a copy of the schedule for the upcoming Miss South Carolina pageant, it was printed on purple paper.
For Hill, Miss Lancaster 2010, everything keeps coming up as a mixture of red and blue.
When part of the white swimsuit Hill planned to wear Wednesday night disappeared before the approval process at the Marriot in Spartanburg on Mother's Day weekend, she went with the back-up swimsuit, which is purple.
Eight area churches are partnering with the Society of St. Andrew to provide fresh, in-season vegetables for needy families in Lancaster this summer.
Dubbed Squash Out Hunger, the ministry includes Eastside Baptist, Hopewell United Methodist, New Hope AME Zion, Spring Hill Baptist, Tabernacle United Methodist, Union Baptist, Unity ARP and Zion United Methodist churches.
These days, local dirt racers Brandy Baker and Bryan Crook are shaking their heads.
Their sons are growing up fast and getting faster by the week.
Dillon Crook, Andrew Baker and Austin Baker are coming into their own in at Lancaster Speedway. The trio used to play in the infield dirt. Now they're competing on the track.
Not only are the three following in their dads' footsteps, the trio is also cutting the same red clay line their respective grandfathers, Buddy Crook and Carson Baker, did years ago.
Sandra Hinson got a little glimpse of heaven this week.
She saw it in the pallet of shingles in her Flat Creek Road yard, boxes of roofing nails, new windows and a fresh coat of paint.
Most don't see the teenagers and adult volunteers who spent most of this week putting a new roof on Hinson's small home as angels.
But those who don't should see them from Hinson's perspective.
That perspective comes from a roof that leaks so bad that water pools inside light fixtures.
To See Lancaster SC Director Peggy Little, little things mean a lot.
That's one thing she has learned when it comes to luring top-notch acts here as part of the See Lancaster SC Performing Arts Series.
Little and 11 other members of the See Lancaster SC board who come up with the Performing Arts Series each year have also become adept at putting together jigsaw puzzles.
In the next few days, hundreds of children in Lancaster County will be learning Bible verses, singing songs, making crafts and gulping all the Kool-Aid and sandwich cremes they can hold.
A sure sign of summer vacation is Vacation Bible School.
Many area churches have been, and will be, teaching about Christianity through themes such as "Saddle Ridge Ranch" and "Step Up and Go Green for Jesus" in the upcoming weeks.
Early Thursday, James Stogner pulled the back of his Ford pickup between two posts beneath the pavilion at the Lancaster County Farmers' Market on Pageland Highway.
He dropped the tailgate, reached inside and slid a square upside-down kitchen table out of the truck bed and turned it over onto to the cement.
In no time at all, Stogner had the tabletop covered in heads of fresh cabbage, bright green cucumbers, squash and peppers.

Historic Status: Local and National Historic
President William McKinley missed
the official dedication of the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in
May 1901 due to his wife's illness, but
agreed to a later visit to help boost
low attendance. He arrived at the
exposition on Sept. 5, greeted by a
large crowd. A popular president, his
image was everywhere, according to
the Buffalo Evening News - ribbons,
programs, even glass tumblers.
At the same time, Leon Czolgosz
arrived in Buffalo with the sole purpose
of assassinating McKinley. Czolgosz
had heard anarchist Emma
Goldman give a speech in May, in
which she reportedly advocated the
"extermination" of all rulers. Czolgosz
stayed in a room over John Nowak's bar at 1078 Broadway and purchased a
pistol in a shop on Main Street.
On Sept. 6, although political
assassinations abroad and the growing
anarchist movement at home worried
the president's aides, McKinley insisted
on attending a 10-minute public
reception at the Temple of Music
on the exposition grounds. Shortly
after 4 p.m., Czolgosz, a handkerchief
over his right hand, approached
McKinley in the receiving line. When
the president extended his left hand in
greeting, Czolgosz fired two shots
from the concealed gun. Before he was
able to fire a third, bystanders knocked
him to the ground. President McKinley
exclaimed: "go easy on him, boys."
The president was taken to the small
hospital on the exposition grounds,
which was not equipped for surgery,
but doctors felt it was too risky to
move him and operated on him there.
Unable to locate one of the bullets, the
doctors closed the wound, believing
the bullet had ended up in fatty tissue
and would not pose a threat.* The
president was moved to the home
of a friend to recuperate, but died
eight days later.
McKinley lay in state on Sept. 15 and
16 on the first floor of County Hall,
in an area that today is marked by a
roped-off brass intaglio.
The trial began on Sept. 23, 1901, in
the Superior Court chamber of Buffalo
City Hall. Officials built a wrought iron
fence in front of the entrance to the
courtroom, fearing Czolgosz might be
lynched. A tunnel, still in use, which
connects the jail to the courthouse, was
reportedly built for this trial.
Justice Truman C. White presided
over the trial, with District Attorney
Thomas Penney leading the prosecution
and Loran Lewis, Robert Titus
and Carlton E. Ladd as defense counsel.
The jury of 12 men, whose occupations
ranged from plumber to
blacksmith, was chosen in under
three hours.
Each eyewitness identified Czolgosz
as the man who shot the president.
Czolgosz reportedly sat with a
blank stare throughout most of the
A detailed confession Czolgosz
made to police after his arrest was
admitted as evidence. In that confession,
Czolgosz said: "I killed President
McKinley because I done my
duty. I don't believe one man should
have so much service and another
should have none."
Excluding jury selection and deliberations,
the trial lasted less than five
hours over the course of two days.
Before imposing sentence, Justice
White addressed the defendant:
"Czolgosz, in taking the life of our
beloved president, you committed a
crime which shocked and outraged
the moral sense of the civilized world.
You have confessed that guilt, and
after learning all that at this time can
be learned from the facts and circumstances
of the case, 12 good jurors
have found you guilty of murder in
the first degree. The penalty for the
crime for which you stand is fixed by
this statute, and it now becomes my
duty to pronounce this judgment
against you. The sentence of the court
is that the week beginning Oct. 28,
1901, at the place, in the manner and
means prescribed by law, you suffer
the punishment of death." Czolgosz
died in the electric chair Oct. 29,
1901, at Auburn State Prison.**
Upon McKinley's death, Vice President
Theodore Roosevelt became the
26th President of the United States. In
his State of the Union address on Dec.
3, 1901, Roosevelt called anarchy "a
crime against the whole human race."
Congress made anarchistic speeches
and meetings seditious and treasonable.
Immigration laws were changed
to exclude known anarchists, and
those living in the U.S. were deported,
including Emma Goldman.
*A new invention on display just yards
from where the doctors operated - the
X-ray machine - could have determined
the bullet's location but was not
used because the doctors were uncertain
of its side effects.
**The electric chair used was invented
by Buffalo dentist Alfred P. Southwick
after he saw a man accidentally touch a
live generator terminal. Southwick,
believing this was a quick and seemingly
painless way to die, developed his
invention and worked to have states
adopt it as a humane alternative to other
methods of capital punishment.

Maine high court rejects appeal in hit-and-run death of University of Maine student
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine's highest court has rejected the appeal of a 24-year-old man convicted of manslaughter and drunken driving in the hit-and-run death of a University of Maine student.
The Maine Supreme Judicial Court on Tuesday rejected the appeal of Garrett Cheney, who's serving seven years for hitting Jordyn Bakley of Camden on an Orono street on Jan. 30, 2010.
In his appeal, Cheney argued that the evidence was insufficient to support a manslaughter conviction.
He also challenged Justice William Anderson's decision allow testimony to continue after two jurors were approached by a man outside of the courtroom who told them to convict Cheney and "Don't pull a Casey Anthony on us," referring to the woman who was acquitted of murder in Florida in the death of her 2-year-old daughter.
