Changes at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic for 2009
Classic Club out of Bob Hope Chrysler Classic
Wind drives tourney to put PGA West's Nicklaus into rotation
RANCHO MIRAGE — Just three years after a ballyhooed debut as the only course owned by a PGA Tour event, Classic Club is being dropped from the the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
Tournament officials will announce today that Classic Club, hounded by a reputation as a windy course on the north side of Interstate 10 at Cook Street in Palm Desert, will be replaced in the four-course rotation of the tournament by the Nicklaus Private Course at PGA West.
The change in courses was necessary given PGA Tour pros' increasing and sometimes vocal criticism that Classic Club could be too windy during the event's January dates.
"For the good of the tournament, to protect the field, we felt like we ought to react," said John Foster, longtime board member of the Hope tournament.
The course changes help to centralize the Hope as a La Quinta tournament. In addition to the Nicklaus course, the Palmer Private Course at PGA West will again be used and will serve as the site of the Sunday-only pros round.
The other 2009 courses will be the city-owned SilverRock Resort in La Quinta and Bermuda Dunes Country Club. In 2010, when Bermuda Dunes rotates out for La Quinta Country Club, all four Hope courses will be in La Quinta.
Classic Club debuted in the Hope in 2006, just over a year after the course was donated to the tournament by the philanthropic H.N. and Frances Berger Foundation of Palm Desert.
As the first PGA Tour event to own its own course, Hope officials said at the time they hoped Classic Club would be the permanent host course for the event.
"The Berger Foundation understands the rotation adjustment for the 50th anniversary tournament and is anticipating added events for the Classic Club that will add financial support for valley charities along with the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic event," said Ron Auen of the Berger Foundation in a statement announcing the course changes.
The Berger Foundation still owns commercial land around Classic Club it is developing.
Foster said the Hope board isn't ruling Classic Club out of future Hope tournaments or for other events.
The Arnold Palmer-designed Classic Club, into which the Hope board had input during the final phases of construction, was never criticized by tour players for its design or playability.
Instead, it was the idea that Classic Club was windier than the traditional older Hope courses that tended to be close to the mountains well south of Classic Club.
Foster admitted the Classic Club's reputation for days of strong winds proved too much to overcome, even though the course experienced almost no wind during the 2008 event.
"The issue we have was with the wind," Foster said. "It was just on certain days when we played and the other courses didn't have any wind."
The course's reputation was perhaps sealed on the final day of the 2007 Hope, a cold, windy day throughout the desert, when Phil Mickelson, a two-time Hope winner and the world's No. 2 ranked golfer, famously asked after his round, "Are they going to use this course again next year?"
Mickelson didn't play in the 2008 Hope.
Hope officials are making the move off their own course despite believing Classic Club is still a good venue and facility for tournament golf.
"Classic Club is a wonderful, challenging course donated to the tournament by the Berger Foundation," Foster said. "It provides the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic organization with significant flexibility now and in the future.
"Because the tournament rotation includes the use of private clubs, the rotation is set annually. Thus in 2010, the rotation will be reviewed for the good of the tournament."
PGA Tour officials have already made a first visit to the Nicklaus course to approve the layout for play.
The Nicklaus course, opened in 1987, was used in the 2000 PGA Tour final qualifying tournament. In the fourth round of that six-round event, David Gossett fired a 59 on the course, a round that would have tied the tour's all-time record for single-round scoring. Gossett's round included 11 birdies and a hole-in-one on the par-3 third hole.
With both the Nicklaus Private and Palmer Private courses in the rotation this year, it will mark the first time in the tournament's 50-year history that the Hope will play two courses at the same location.
The Nicklaus and Palmer courses operate out of the same clubhouse, meaning half of the 128-player pro field and half of the 384-player amateur field on each of the first four days of the PGA Tour's only five-day tournament will be at PGA West.
Bob Hope Chrysler Classic over the years
1960: The tournament debuts with Thunderbird, Tamarisk, Bermuda Dunes and Indian Wells country clubs as the four courses.
1961: Eldorado Country Club joins the rotation and is one of four courses played in the first four days of the event, along with Bermuda Dunes, Thunderbird and Indian Wells. The fifth, pro-only day is played at Tamarisk, making the tournament a five-day, five-course event.
1962: No course changes, but Bermuda Dunes becomes the Sunday course.
1963: Thunderbird leaves the tournament, becoming the first course to permanently leave the field. The event continues with four courses.
1964: La Quinta Country Club joins the event, replacing Tamarisk.
1969: Tamarisk returns to the event and begins an alternate-year rotation with Eldorado. The core group of Bermuda Dunes, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Tamarisk and Eldorado will remain through 1986.
1987: The TPC Stadium Course at PGA West joins the field, with Tamarisk, El Dorado and La Quinta dropping into a three-year rotation. Tamarisk is played this year.
1988: The Palmer Course at PGA West replaces the Stadium Course permanently.
1989: Eldorado Country Club is played for the final time, with La Quinta and Tamarisk staying. La Quinta will be played two years, then one year for Tamarisk.
1995: PGA West is dropped from the rotation, with Indian Ridge joining the tournament.
1998: The Palmer Course at PGA West returns, replacing Indian Ridge.
2004: Indian Wells is played in the tournament for the final time.
2005: Tamarisk is played for apparently the final time in the event.
2006: Classic Club debuts in the tournament as a permanent course and permanent host.
Jan. 15, 2008: SilverRock Resort is played for the first time, with Bermuda Dunes stepping out of the event for the first time.
July 31, 2008: Officials announce Classic Club is leaving the tournament, to be replaced by the Nicklaus Private Course at PGA West. The 2009 event will feature the Palmer and Nicklaus Private courses at PGA West, SilverRock and Bermuda Dunes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., sought support from House conservatives Wednesday for far-reaching immigration legislation, but many lawmakers emerged from their meeting deeply skeptical of any comprehensive bill with a pathway to citizenship for immigrants here illegally.
It underscored the challenges ahead for the immigration bill and for Rubio himself as he ramps up his sales job to conservatives ahead of Senate floor debate on the legislation beginning next week.
"I cannot vote for a bill that gives amnesty to illegal aliens here in this country. Will not. I think there are a lot of conservatives that are in that position," said Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., after hearing from Rubio and other senators at a meeting in the basement of the Capitol organized by the Republican Study Committee, a group of House conservatives.
Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said Rubio's presentation was "unconvincing."
And House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said that the Senate bill written by Rubio and seven other senators in a bipartisan group "has a long way to go from the House perspective."
Rubio, a tea party favorite and potential presidential candidate who's acted as the bill's emissary to the conservative community, has been saying for weeks that the bill needs stronger border security provisions in order to pass the House. Recently he's said that it lacks the 60 votes needed to pass the Senate without improvements and that he himself wouldn't be able to support it in its current form, even though he helped write it.
His comments have jarred immigration advocates, who've questioned his commitment to the legislation and voiced concerns that increased emphasis on border security could make the path to citizenship for some 11 million immigrants here illegally unachievable. The bill, supported by President Barack Obama, also seeks to overhaul legal immigration and visa programs and require all employers to check workers' legal status.
Rubio objected Wednesday to the suggestion his comments could be complicating efforts on the bill.
"What's stymying efforts in the Senate is not my comments. What's stymying efforts in the Senate is we don't have the votes to pass it because too many members on both sides of the aisle do not believe it goes far enough on border security," Rubio told reporters after his meeting with House Republicans.
"So it's very simple," Rubio said. "If people want immigration reform, we're going to have to improve the border security elements of the bill and we're going to have to make people confident that what we're doing is enough. And that's what I'm going to focus on."
Aware of the difficulty of winning over conservatives in the Republican-led House, Rubio and other supporters of the immigration bill are working to get a resounding vote of support in the Democratic-led Senate, including from many Republicans. The hope is that if the bill passes with some 70 lawmakers in favor, the House would be pressured to act.
For Rubio, helping secure those Senate votes is emerging as a test of his influence over fellow Republicans that may also help determine the fate of his presidential ambitions.
He has spent recent weeks meeting individually with Republican senators to discuss strengthening the legislation in ways that could get them on board, working with a list of 15 to 20 Republican senators who potentially could be persuaded to vote for the bill. He's also promoted the legislation with numerous TV and radio appearances.
Rubio's challenge is to maintain the support of the tea party backers who lend him credibility and leverage in the immigration debate, while also getting credit for pushing a landmark piece of legislation that's opposed by many in the tea party but is a priority to the Latino voters who increasingly help determine the outcome of presidential elections.
Rubio supported efforts by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, on an amendment Cornyn unveiled Wednesday to enact tough new border requirements, including a biometric exit system at all airports and seaports, before any immigrant here illegally could achieve permanent legal residence. Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, also said they'd met with Rubio to discuss their concerns over border security and enforcement, and Portman said he was weighing amendments to address them.
One change Rubio has focused on would give Congress, instead of the Homeland Security Department, a bigger role in creating a border security plan since many Republicans are skeptical of the Obama administration's commitment to enforcing border security. As he described it on talk radio's "Hugh Hewitt Show" on Tuesday, the plan would be legislated as part of the immigration bill, although other Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., have discussed having Congress vote on whether the border has been secured.

Passwords: Jennifer Scappettone on Amelia Rosselli
Date and Time:
April 25, 2013 - 7:00PM
Event Location:
Kray Hall
$10, $7 for students and seniors, free to Poets House Members
Poet, translator and scholar Jennifer Scappettone discusses the work of the Italian poet and musicologist Amelia Rosselli (1930-1996) — whose first book was introduced by Pier Paolo Pasolini in 1964 — and will read from her award-winning translation. Rosselli's extraordinary upbringing as a self-defined "child of the Second World War" led her to compose among three languages and synthesize a hybrid literary heritage stretching from Dante and the troubadours through Ezra Pound and John Berryman, recasting both the tradition and the future of Italian poetry.

Paramore at Wembley ArenaLighting designer Chad Peters used 28 GLP Impression moving LED lights on his enlarged set, once American band Paramore moved up to arena sized shows in the UK this December.
He sourced the industry-leading fixtures from Bandit Lites (who hold a rental stock of 60 Impressions), and their chief executive Lester Cobrin reveals, "The units are in high demand from many lighting designers — thus we made the decision to invest heavily — a decision which has proved very successful."
Having been introduced to the power of the LED spots by other third party vendors back in the United States, Chad was sufficiently impressed to try them out for the first time with the band Rise Against, when he was covering for a colleague.
"They were asking whether it was a green design and I thought they were talking about the colour of their set until I realized they were concerned with eco-issues," he says.
On both counts the Impressions ticked the boxes. "Considering how bright and responsive they were they just seemed so lightweight."
With Paramore he has used 14 Impressions individually mounted on pipes at different heights, to create the illusion that they are floating within the set. "There's no clamping – each fixture threads directly into the top of the pipe," he states. The remaining 14 heads are mounted on the overhead truss (including four T-bars).
Collectively, they are used to warm up the set. "You can produce a parcan white from the Impressions — a nice tungsten without getting that rainbow lighting effect."
"You also deliver a really nice tight beam angle — it really punches." Chad has been using the fixtures with standard 10° beam angles — but when he realized his conventional automated lights were being washed out by the strength of the Impressions' 90 high-powered RGB lights, he quickly realized he would need to upgrade.
With the set under Roadhog control, he says, "The speed of the colour and position is a big plus for me as I am using them as my main wash lights — and for an arena size show this is actually quite small. So it gives me the flexibility to use them for big stops and instant colour bumps that would normally require more lights and the need to set up a cue to make it appear instant. So it's ideal for the LD on a budget."
Chad originally landed the gig with Paramore back in 2007. "I had one of their songs on my Myspace page and my room mate / best friend Robb Jibson sent me an email saying that that they were looking for an LD/tech that could also do video. I replied — and here I am."
The band's popularity in the UK has soared since the box office smash Twilight featured the popular Decode on the soundtrack.
Chad is also highly complimentary about the support he has received from Bandit Lites. "This is actually the first time I have used the company — I used Premier Global, another Nashville based company for the last two tours — but Lester and everyone at Bandit UK have been absolutely fabulous."

Court hears Congo warlord Ntaganda evidence
Court hears Congo warlord Ntaganda evidence
Feb. 10, 2014
AMSTERDAM (AP) — Judges at the International Criminal Court began hearing arguments Monday about whether to put Bosco Ntaganda, a former rebel leader in Congo's unstable eastern region, on trial for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda accused Ntaganda, nicknamed "The Terminator" for his ruthlessness, of 13 charges, including murder, rape, and persecution and recruiting child soldiers.
Ntaganda's lawyer, Marc Desailliers, said Monday the prosecution's case "has no foundation."
Ntaganda's alleged crimes took place in 2002-2003 in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo, where he served as a top leader in the Union of Congolese Patriots under Thomas Lubanga.
Lubanga was indicted and arrested in 2006, and in 2012 became the first person to be convicted at the ICC, for conscripting child soldiers. He is appealing a 14-year sentence.
Bensouda described the testimony of one woman from the Lendu tribe, the frequent target of attacks by Union soldiers, who were often from the Hema tribe. He said the woman was raped repeatedly and told "you are not human beings and in three days we will finish you all."
Ntaganda was indicted in 2006, but he became part of the country's regular army and the government in Kinshasa did not seek to arrest him until he rebelled as part of a different group, M23, in the province of Kivu.
He was only brought to the court in The Hague, Netherlands, last year after M23 splintered, his faction was defeated, and he fled to neighboring Rwanda. He took refuge in the U.S. Embassy before being deported.
The court has yet to set a date to decide on Ntaganda's case. Hearings are expected to last several days.

The members of Section 20 are once again forced to consider the personal costs of doing their jobs in the latest episode of "Strike Back."
The team travels to Budapest in hot pursuit of Mairead McKenna (Catherine Walker), the IRA soldier who took out Major Rachel Dalton (Rhona Mitra) in Beirut. As you can see in the exclusive video preview (the second below), Col. Locke (Robson Green) tells the team that Section 20 will do what it can for Dalton's son, which earns this sharp response from Stonebridge (Philip Winchester): "Because the Army won't, right?"
Locke says Dalton's is not the first family to pay the price "for what we do."
That recurring theme has had Stonebridge reconsidering his life throughout the season, as Winchester told me during San Diego Comic-Con.
"The whole time, the question keeps coming back, 'Is this it? Is this it?'" he said. "Just being the good soldier doesn't appeal to him anymore."
And he may have found a way out of it. As you can see in the first preview clip below, Stonebridge and Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) still are discussing whether to keep those diamonds they took from James Leatherby (Dougray Scott) or turn them in to authorities.
"It could be their get out," Winchester told me. "So for the rest of the episodes they're kind of talking about it, 'If we cash in does that make us just as bad as the people we're stopping, or have we done enough good to justify doing this?'"
In the first video, Scott also teases Stonebrige about his "smoochy-smooch" with Kim Martinez (Milauna Jemai Jackson). Maybe Stonebridge is, as Scott says, finally getting some action?
"He actually might be a little interested," Jackson told me. "I perhaps may tickle his fancy—who knows?"
The new episode, which I will call "High Costs" because these episodes are never titled(!), debuts at 9 p.m. CT Sept. 13 on Cinemax with replays at 10:30 p.m. the same night, 8:10 p.m. and 11 p.m. Sept. 15, 1:30 p.m. Sept. 15 and throughout next week. It was written by John Simpson and directed by Paul Wilmshurst.
The episode, which continues the "Strike Back" tradition of casting "Game of Thrones" actors. Can you find the former "GoT" actor guest starring in the photo gallery above?
Winchester had more to say about the serious subjects this season brings up in the last video below, which was shot at Comic-Con.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — It's ScHoolboy Q's turn.
The Los Angeles rapper took the handoff from Top Dawg Entertainment label-mate Kendrick Lamar and scored a touchdown when his new album "Oxymoron" opened at No. 1 two weeks ago. It's the second straight strong showing for TDE and Q, who sees it as the start of a championship team.
"Somebody has to step up besides Kevin Durant," said Q, who has been making the rounds at South By Southwest this week. "Somebody has to step up beside Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. They can't do it by themselves. Football is the best example, you can't win by yourself. A good quarterback can't win a championship. The linebacker can't win you a championship. The coach can't win you a championship. It has to be everybody."
Q held up his part of the deal, delivering a critically praised major label debut that compares favorably to Lamar's Grammy Award-nominated breakthrough "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" in its grittiness and authenticity. Given the opportunity in front of him, the rapper could have aimed for pop radio success, but instead made an LP that reflects his life as a father and former gang member.
The 27-year-old began his TDE run as Lamar's hype man and calls King Kendrick his brother, giving him the credit for his moment.
"That's how it goes in any successful label — you have to roll off somebody," Q said. "It's just up to you to take advantage of the opportunity because there's plenty of rappers that have friends. Like you have a friend rapper, but he never gets to drop an album or nobody cares about his single, nobody really cares about his project because it just wasn't as good."
Terrence "Punch" Henderson, one of TDE's two founders, said the back-to-back successes — "good kid" debuted at No. 2 upon release in November 2012 — show where the label is headed.
"The first time with Kendrick wasn't a fluke," Henderson said. "Q came out, got a No. 1 album, but the album's actually great. It's a great record and that's what we aim towards, to put out great music."
Henderson reaffirmed plans to release a new album from every label member this year — SZA is up next on April 8. That list includes Lamar, who he says has recorded 12 new songs but may throw them out and start anew.
Interest is high. Lamar was one of the top nominees at the 2014 Grammy Awards, but was shut out in what turned out to be a hip-hop landslide victory for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Though Lamar didn't win, he teamed with Imagine Dragons for one of the night's most powerful performances and attained a new level of popularity.
"The performance was crazy, probably the best performance of the night," Henderson said. "I'm not just saying that because that's my artist, either. After that all the controversy behind him not winning, that's keeping him in all the conversations. It keeps us as an underdog. There's no ceiling. If you win, where do you go after that? So it gives us something to work towards still."

COMMENTARYGlanzer & Null: Don't automatically defer to biologists when it comes to the curriculumPerry Glanzer and Wesley Null, BAYLOR UNIVERSITYMonday, October 06, 2008 When it comes to teaching about biology and religion, Dan Quinn, spokesman for the Texas Freedom Network, recently claimed, "It's time for the State Board of Education to listen to experts instead of promoting their own personal and political agendas." Of course, this means that the State Board of Education should stop listening to the Texas Freedom Network, which clearly has its own political and ideological agenda. If Quinn is right, however, to whom should the board turn for expertise? Some state biologists claim they know the most about this interdisciplinary relationship, but they are wrong. Why should we trust biologists over religion professors, curriculum professors and others who spend their lives studying and teaching these subjects? We can think of many good reasons not to trust biologists on matters of religion and curriculum. A recent statement by a biologist affiliated with the 21st Century Science Coalition highlights a problem with listening to "experts" who are out of their specialized field. Speaking of the relationship between religion and curriculum, that biologist said, "It's time to keep religion and faith in the Sunday schools and not in the public schools." That position is a view that many legal, religious and educational experts outright reject. Even the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled, "It might well be said that one's education is not complete without a study of comparative religion or the history of religion and its relationship to the advancement of civilization." Furthermore, many educational groups — including the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development — issued statements acknowledging that "schools demonstrate fairness when they ensure that the curriculum includes study about religion, where appropriate, as an important part of a complete education." Of course, most biologists with the 21st Century Science Coalition, excluding the one quoted above, might agree with these statements. What they probably reject is the inclusion of discussions about religion in biology texts and classes. As that biologist claimed, "We shouldn't be teaching the supernatural in science classrooms." Setting aside the false assertion that religion is nothing but the "supernatural," biologists still, however, have not established a persuasive educational argument as to why religion should be banned from discussions of science. "The problem of religion and science cuts much deeper than the (often superficial) debate about evolution," said Warren A. Nord, a University of North Carolina philosopher and author of "Taking Religion Seriously Across the Curriculum." Nord added, "Indeed, the nature of this relationship has been one of the major intellectual problems of the modern world, and a vast literature of works by scientists, theologians and philosophers addresses it — though the national science standards and science textbooks all but completely ignore it." Perhaps when it comes to discussing the relationship between biology and religion, we need a referee from another discipline. In this case, we are more apt to trust philosophers than biologists who are unfamiliar with the history and philosophy of science. Many questions remain unanswered by the biologists who seem most interested in trying to control curriculum. Why do biologists assume they are experts in curriculum when they are not? Why are biologists afraid to broach the exciting intellectual problems surrounding the relationship between faith and science? Why not discuss the history of biology as a discipline and how the field's approach to this problem has evolved over time? Why not discuss with students why biologists tend to operate within a naturalistic framework, including the benefits and limitations of the framework? Until these questions are addressed persuasively by biologists, state leaders need to look to a broad range of university specialists to find the leadership necessary to provide a well-rounded, liberating education to all Texas students. Glanzer is a professor in the School of Education and the Institute for Church and State at Baylor University. Null is a professor of curriculum and foundations of education.
...then what other myths are we willing to allow as FACT?

Video: Firefighters unable to save drowning man
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Video shows firefighters and police attempting to rescue a man after he fell into a frozen lake while trying to flee authorities.
Kenneth Brown Jr., 20, died after he was trapped in the freezing waters of a retention pond for more than an hour before rescuers could get him out, according to the News-Gazette.
Brown was running from police after they responded to a domestic dispute call in the area, when he started jogging across a frozen lake and fell in.
22 fire personnel showed up to help rescue Brown, while officers tried to communicate with him.
Firefighters and an officer suited up to help rescue Brown and were being tethered together when other crew members threw a rescue disc, hoping Brown would grab it, but he didn't.
The newspaper reports that crews waited for a rescue raft to be inflated, and as crews went onto the ice to retrieve Brown, he had gone underwater. Crews were told the water was only waist-deep, but it was actually as much as 18-feet deep.
Six different firefighters and one police officer were in the water attempting to rescue Brown. Crews eventually had to dive to get Brown and transport him to the hospital where he later died.
Champaign Deputy Fire Chief Eric Mitchell said rescuers did all they could.
"They followed our ice-rescue guidelines pretty much to a T," Mitchell said. "It's a very low frequency (event) but a very high-risk rescue. They did exactly what they were supposed to do. They established command ... they made visual contact and attempted to talk to him, threw rescue devices, and went on the water. Going on the water is the last thing you want to do. They did all the other things first."
Deputy Police Chief Joe Gallo said bystanders kept urging rescuers to get into the water to save Brown, but he said waiting for firefighters was the best decision.
Chief Mitchell agreed, saying charging into the water was not "safe for anybody. It might look like fiddling, but it's making sure the person is safe to do his job because you don't want to lose a rescuer."

I opened this account, but never used it for 3 years. After moving, I decided to withdraw my funds to empty the account. Despite only withdrawing the amount which I knew to have placed in the account, I was charged an overdraft fee of $35, because shortly before my withdrawal TCF had charged my account a $5 mail handling fee for my change of address. After doing some research, I discovered that this "mail handling fee" is the new name for what was once called a "returned mail fee."
When I spoke to a service representative I was told that this fee was charged even though no mail was ever returned, simply because TCF had received notice from the postal service of my address change. So, my account which I never used and which only had $50 in it for the past 3 years is now costing me $40! I wish I had never opened the account.
TCF Bank is the worst bank I have ever dealt with, EVER. Customer service is a joke. None of the departments talk to each other. I can't even close my line of credit at a branch in person, I have to fax a note saying to close it down. Does that make any sense. When I questioned that the lady I was speaking with informed me that she had 7 minutes before she left and other people to help. Very very poor policies and if she is indicative of the level of professionalism the employees demonstrate I can't believe they are even in business.
I opened this account in Illinois in 2001. All was well while we lived in Illinois but things started to go downhill when we moved to a state without a brick & mortar presence. And then things completely fell apart in 2009-2010. Every time I had a question or concern and contacted a telephone Customer Service rep, I would get three different responses to the same question depending on who I spoke with on the phone. And in this age of internet banking, they were completely incapable of handling my banking needs unless I could get to a branch.
Finally I had to call & close the account. I called all auto debits and had those cancelled too. But one still went through and the bank hit me with overdraft fees & reported the account to collection with no notification.
I have had a TCF bank acct. for the past ten years. They were never nothing special but the acct. was free and had many locations. Today I see a fee on my bill for $9.95 for monthly maintenance. I contacted customer support and they said, "we no longer have free checking." They said that you must meet the crazy requirements; otherwise, you pay the fee. I had told them I was never notified and they basically said who cares. I'm closing my acct. today and going to Chase. They can keep their fee because they lost my business for life. Don't setup a TCF bank account.
ELK GROVE VILLAGE, ILLINOIS -- This is not about an overdraft fee, which they hit me within the past. This is about them closing my banking account and taking all the money without telling me. I have been a customer for over six years and have two accounts with them. One I didn't use and the other I used. After three months of not using one account (which had money in it) they closed it without any word. I went to talk to them and there is nothing they could do. I am student teaching, I have no income, and these people take my money!? Forget them.
In their promotional material, TCF says "Tell your friends about the confidence you have in us." So, I will. On Sept. 28 I opened an account at the TCF branch in my local Jewel. I wanted a separate account for my business travel expenses and the location was convenient. Opened the account with a $1500 expense check I'd received from my local employer (drawn on a local bank). On October 7 (9 days after opening account: 7 business days) I do an electronic funds transfer for $1200 to pay my Amex bill -- and TCF bounces it and charges me $35!
I got nothing but blank stares at my local branch and nobody had a reasonable explanation other than "sometimes it takes longer for new account deposits to clear". Well, that's not my opinion of how you treat a new customer -- and it's probably a preview of more surprises to come -- so I closed my account. As they suggested, I will gladly "tell my friends" that they should never do business with TCF Bank!
OAK CREEK, WISCONSIN -- We all know about bank fees being crazy nowadays. My fiance and I have been with this bank for 6 hellish months. I have never experienced such dissatisfaction in all my life. Their over draft fees are 10X higher than I ever experienced! Before this, the highest I experienced was around 35 dollars or so. We have been slapped with 2 separate $175.00 dollar over draft charges.
I found it interesting that it takes them less than a day to process your debit card and credit card charges or checks that you write for something. But it takes 3-4 days minimum to process direct deposits. Since our direct deposits were pending during this time, hence the over draft charges. Hence STAY AWAY! We also had to pay for our new checks when opening a new account and we were forced to open a Savings.
PARKER, COLORADO -- My IRS refund was direct deposited into my account on Feb 16, 2012. Still not posted into my savings account by February 22, 2012. TCF says they can take seven days to post. An IRS direct deposit tax refund takes seven day to post? Why would anyone do direct deposit only to have them hold for a week. It's TCF's way of screwing their customers so they can accumulate interest on your money. Closing my account as soon as money post. Taking my money somewhere else.
WAYZATA, MINNESOTA -- Well TCF, a new class action lawsuit I am sure will be coming your way. Thanks to your new daily overdraft fees of $28 a day!! I have been a customer for over 15 yrs and I will be closing my account and going with my local credit union. Enjoy the money you have stole from me and you can keep the .02 cents of interest I'm getting on my crappy savings account! When is someone going to bail out the hard working citizens of America instead of these greedy, self-serving BANKS!!!
I deposited a check for $5600 on 10/02. I was told that there was a 2 business day wait for the funds to be available. On 10/05 I returned to the bank to withdraw the money and was told that I would have to wait 5-7 MORE days and that all I could have was $1500. The Supervisor ** was rude. I asked why only $1500 and he just said, "it's not available." He was resting on his elbow and holding a personal conversation at the same time.
As I became angry, he tried to give more information. I asked to talk to the Manager and he said they were all on vacation and he was the supervisor. I asked to speak with another teller and he refused. Long story short the service at this bank has been horrible for years and I am finally at a point where I don't want to take it anymore. I want my money and the account closed but they refused!

A couple of weeks ago, Gene Simmons said some harsh things about addiction, depression and suicide in an interview. This week, in light of Robin Williams' apparent suicide on Monday after struggling with addiction and depression, those things sounded even more harsh.
Friday found Simmons apologizing for what he'd said.
"I don't get along with anybody who's a drug addict and has a dark cloud over their head and sees themselves as a victim," the KISS bassist and singer told Songfacts when asked if he still got along with the band's original members.
"Drug addicts and alcoholics are always: 'The world is a harsh place.' My mother was in a concentration camp...

In today's job market, superior digital know-how is a must. Here are three of the biggest trends you need to understand in 2013.
The Cloud
No, not the new movie from the Matrix creators. Cloud computing makes files and applications available over the Internet—music, photos, databases, word processing programs and more. In fact, the Cloud, in simplistic terms, is the Internet.
There's a heap of jargon to keep up with, but you can get certified in cloud computing. Companies providing courses are Amazon, Rackspace, Google, and Salesforce. Prices start around $500.
If Marissa Mayer used crowdsourcing to name her baby, it can probably help you. Crowdsourcing means using social media to complete a task or project. Wikipedia and Kickstarter are two of the most famous examples. Inspired by community action? Read "Crowdsourcing: Why the Power of the Crowd Is Driving the Future of Business."
According to Forbes, in 2013, mobile devices will pass PCs as the most common Web access tools. They are revolutionizing the way people do work and interact with companies. Whether you're in finance, retail or restaurants, mobile is going to be a factor in your business. Mobile banking, for instance, is now used by 33% of mobile consumers, up from 24 percent in 2011. Figuring out how to give your company a mobile strategy, or advancing the one you have, is vital in this environment.
The more you know. What digital skills do you want to acquire this year?

Newton Medical Center's Project SEARCH site is celebrating the receipt of an award demonstrating how much the program has accomplished since it started.
The program now ranks as one of the top 15 sites out of more than 200 sites internationally at an international Project SEARCH conference. In order to be in the top 15, sites had to achieve a 100 percent job placement rate for their interns, which NMC Project SEARCH has accomplished.
"This award is a true reflection of how great the staff is at NMC and is really the staff's award," said Jeremy Gooch, NMC Project SEARCH instructor, pictured with Karla Stauffer, director of patient services for NMC. "The willingness to work with the interns and build their skills in order to gain employment is the secret to this site's success. As we start our rotations soon, keep this award in your mind that you are making a difference and will continue to make a difference. Thank you for your guidance in these interns' lives!"
The Project SEARCH program provides internship opportunities and job skills training for students with disabilities. Since the program began, the interns have had the opportunity to work in a variety of departments at the hospital, including patient finance; materials management; dietary (kitchen/cafeteria); information services (technology department); health information management; and environmental services (housekeeping).
Gooch also wanted to thank Debra Reinhardt and Pat Howard for their help with the program.
"These two people are the humble type that really need the recognition for their hard work," he said. "These two people are what make me want to stay being a teacher. Their guidance and support is really the backbone to programs like ours."
Reinhardt is the transition coordinator for the high school, and Howard is a retired teacher of 33 years that is now job coaching at Project SEARCH.
"Both of these woman have made countless differences in many lives," he said.

Re-Animator (US - BD RA)
Image makes an official announcement on the first Blu-ray release of a classic...
Starring: Jeffery Combs
Released: 4th September 2012
Further Details:
Image Entertainment is releasing Stuart Gordon's immortal classic horror comedy Re-Animator on Blu-ray disc this September the 4th. The disc will feature a 1080p transfer, framed at the original 1.85:1, and a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack. It appears that the cover art and extras more or less match Anchor Bay's last special edition DVD release (which also included extras from Elite's first and second DVD releases).
These will include:
- Documentary: "Re-Animator Resurrectus"
- Audio Commentary by Director Stuart Gordon
- Audio Commentary by Producer Brian Yuzna and Actors Bruce Abbott, Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton and Robert Sampson
- Interview with Director Stuart Gordon and Producer Brian Yuzna
- Interview with Writer Dennis Paoli
- Interview with Composer Richard Band
- Music Discussion with Composer Richard Band
- Interview with Fangoria Magazine editor Tony Timpone
- Deleted and Extended Scenes
- Theatrical trailer
- TV Spots
Quote: Adapted by Dennis Paoli, William J. Norris and Stuart Gordon from the H.P. Lovecraft short story, Re-Animator tells the strange tale of medical student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbot) and his girlfriend Megan Halsey (Barbara Crampton), both of them drawn to odd new student Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) who's conducting secret experiments involving the re-animation of dead tissue. When one of the instructors, Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), stumbles upon their activities, West murders him -- but is brought back to life, now thirsting for revenge as well as lusting after Megan. The final denouement features the re-animated Dr. Hill squaring off against Herbert and Dan in a battle royale within the school's morgue, complete with resurrected "henchmen" and undoubtedly one of the greatest visual double entendres in all horror cinema!

Lets hope the clean it up a bit.
A classic.
A classic.
You are so very wrong, sir. Re-Animator gets better every time I see it.
An unfortunate example of where the film doesn't live up to the poster image (or the hype). I thought it was good, but not nearly enough to necessitate the fervour people express. Perhaps what with it being released on Blu-Ray, this is a good time to revisit and reappraise.
I intend to buy this since it is cheap and I've put off getting the DVD for so long. I'll get some caps up when I do.
I'm in for a review copy, but I do not have the ability to get screen caps, so I'm a bit bummed about that.
Trying to stay optimistic about this...the fact that this isn't part of their s**tty Midnight Madness series and that they are porting over lots of extras gives me hope, but I still have this nagging sensation that Image is gonna screw us on the transfer.

The next person who votes on this is going to get murdered, amirite?
Oh yes I balanced it!!!
It's over, no one has unbalanced it for hours.
(zomgitsmoi):I've had to change votes to balance it many a time today...
haha i hadn't been on amirite in a while so i logged in and saw this post from a year ago... so i balanced it again :D
Lol it's been hompaged 25 at the moment which is about 10 times the average number of hompage votes!
Wait, how do you know its been homepaged that many times?
check the tag on his profile ;)
I'm a magician, clearly.
Ofcourse you are ;D
This is pretty cool. When it's at 0, someone just do 1 down, then the next 1 up. All the other ones like this that i've seen haven't worked.
Am i the only one who feels like keeping watch and changing my vote in case of emergency?
I've been doing that too! xD <3
(Kylias):Me too.
totally!!! :D
Same. :D
lmfao same
Me too!
This idea is awesome! But there's one serious problem: the post will never appear on any of the best/worst pages because they don't rate the post by how many hits its had, but by what the difference is between good and bad. It's doomed to be forgotten!
it can be put on the most controversial one though! on that page, they put posts which have about the same number of votes on both sides :)
it can also be on most favorited. so fav it, people!
it's probably good if somebody changes it, then someone else will come along and fix it, and it will have an evan higher count
No, they're a copycat. This was posted before by someone else.
hi this is a cool post!...i like it..lol i wanted so sound weird and creepy ...did i creep you all out?
I think you.need to know when to use periods
WHOA that was fast.... balanced at 800, i -1'd it, and a minute later it's at 801 each. what insanity...
I think i voted same time as someone else. it was -1 then i clicked yeah you are right and it was +1
If you had already voted before that, then changed your vote to make it positive, it takes away your previous negative vote and adds it to the positive, which really adds 2.
then dont favorite doucheface.
I know, me too, just shut up.
Rats! Foiled again!!
not anymore.
its at 1001 now :)
nope, @192443 (:S): nah, i do it too
BWAHAHAHA! I control your futile efforts to keep it at 0!!!! No matter how hard you try, I can always change it!!!!
JK. It was fun to read the comments and watch people say "Balanced it at so-and-so" and just keep watching the number get higher.
(IHATEPIE,OK?!?!??!!!): I dislike pie as well.
how dare you hate pie?!
I just don't like it. I prefer cake.
yes i hate pie, but i love cake more, like you.
(IHATEPIE,OK?!?!??!!!): I just don't get the hype about pie.
i know right. it should be about cake. ice cream cake to be exact. my favorite.
(IHATEPIE,OK?!?!??!!!): that sounds really good right about now.
i know right. but i can always imagine it.
(IHATEPIE,OK?!?!??!!!): yeah. time to go to Dairy Queen XD
Cake is so much better then pie :)
Yes it is.
Especially yellow cake.
I like confetti cake with vanilla frosting and sprinkles.
i like both, but i prefer pie a little morejust cause i've had too much cake in my life, plus you can fill pie with many things, while cake is limited to ice cream and a few others
although i do not like pie, this is so true.
the cake is a lie
same here i HAAAAAAATE PIE
Because it's awesome.
Do it. Be a rebel. Do it.
wow this post has a total of about 3300 votes, if only they were positive and it would be an all time best
Approximately 3386 right now, actually. :D
I think at the end of the year we should all change our vote to yes, but just for a week, and then change it to no, so it could be the highest of positive and negative, then change it back to a normal 0.
We should...
there should be a hall of fame for posts like this, and others like best ever, worst ever, etc.
I'm pretty sure there is.
But ruining it just gives more people chance to join in.
it's basically a way to keep track of how high it's getting because you can look at the date and time of the comment.
That's what I did
At the moment both "No Way" and "yeah you are" are on 2566. I SO badly want to click on one of them
unbalanced againn , +4 (:
there is an awful lot of people who favorited this. i am one of those people.
It's so freaking dissapointing to look at your notifactions and see 10 new comments on one of your favourite posts.
If you go to the right side of th notification, there will be two little button sorta things. One of them has an 'x' on it or something. If you click on it, you won't get notifications from the post anymore.
am i the only one that noticed that it doesnt say "let's see how high we can vote so its still at zero," but let's see how long it can be at zero?
duh and people un balance it so more people vote to balance it.
and the dumb people who comment saying they messed it up. its just sending a notification to dozens of people who have Favorited it, to come fix it haha.
At least somebody noticed it's there :)
This is the stupidest ** post ever. It doesn't deserve to be on homepage and I don't give a rats ** if it's even or not so I ruined it on purpose. HA
nope, I thonk it's the original.. it just NOW made the homepage.
This same post has been on the home page a couple of times. We keep bumping it up because it's so awesome
It's the same post, look at the date
I keep changing my vote and then it gets thrown off balance by like 5 people trying to fix it.
Don't change your vote then.
You changing your vote makes it worse because, say it was on -1 and you'd voted no. You change your vote to yes so your no vote is taken away (score is 0) and then your yes vote is added (score is +1)
The cool thing about this is someone will always be the smartass and say 'yeah you are' or 'no way' when it's at 0, so us good people will always fix it, leading on a continuing loop that so as long as it's where someone will see this post, it will keep going up more and more :D
oooh that was close! i was about to just say yeah you are for no particular reason and then i actually read the post! :D
balanced at 3827 ... i feel like i just involved myself in a deep-rooted and ancient religion that countless others before me have tried and failed.
isnt it great how so many people have voted on one side or another and there is absolutely no debating in the comments?!?! :)
It's not about how long it can be balanced, it's about how much we can persuade people not to ruin the balance. >:[
Too late
I tried unbalancing it.... but I pressed "Yeah You Are!" as soon as someone else pressed "No Way!" D;
I love how some people say they made it balanced or unbalanced yet the color of their comment box is blue lol.
the sad thing is that someone always has to try to ruin this post by purposely making it uneven -_-.
Not to be all smart, but it was only perfectly balanced for a couple seconds since more people voted and the score rised and fell.
I feel proud seeing this get to the POTD.
Its like seeing a friend become the president or something like that. haha wooo.
I have to keep pressing "yeah you are" or "no way" back in forth because ppl keep pressing it all at the same time so i press the link when it's about to hit 0 then it says -5 or something -_-
Holy shit. Well if you don't get this balanced, you'll at least have a post with one of the highest number of comments without using a controversial topic.
Howwww do I balance it its at +2 I voted no way twice cuz tthats what I thought would balance it. Clearly nott
Haha the good old days :P
oh wow... reading the comments is very... interesting...
hehe, good post though, very smart. i dont think anyone actually voted it down because they didn't like it... -looks around suspiciously-
Obviously to encourage more people to vote and rebalance the post, making it more epic.
well the only way to get more votes (which is the aim of this post) is to unbalance it so more people have to vote to balance it
personally i think its fun unbalancing it :P
You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!!
This is pathetic, you know. There really is no "amirite" needed in the post. And some of you commenteds??? GET A LIFE
uhhhh, you commented on it...
kinda.. or go back and forth like bi monthly or something yaknow.. get it on the lowest rated then highest like in a week.
Those people clicked "No way".
if everyone changed their vote to yea you are this would be the highest rated post on amirite
if everyone put yea you are it would be the highest rated post of all time
@__@ yea, I don't know why someone voted down on your comment. You're right, it is. Probably the most commented on. This post is truly epic.
seriously, the amirite community works well together ;p
why do you vote down the comments that unbalance it? if it weren't for them this post would still only have 2 votes on it
okay thats' cool? You see, i really don't care. The more it's unbalanced, the more people come & vote.
haha sorry I wasn't really replying to that comment :) I guess I was more replying to the 3 people who voted you down...
Every time I see it, it's either +1 or -1 and there's nothing I can do to save it since I've already voted!
Hahaha I love that :D
What happens if this gets the most votes of all time? Does it go in the "worst" or "best" category? Both, perhaps? O.o
It does have the most votes of all time (:
hahaha that's an interesting thought but it's based on score not how many people vote on it, which i think is stupid
oh crap its got to be rated by two people to be fixed ... i voted no way and it wen t from +1 to negative 1 whcih means we 2 people to vote it up i think and then one down...maybe idk **** THIS IS BOTHERSOME.
calmmm hahahaha were good:)
It was +1 so I negatived it making it0 at 6722 then it got negatived making it -1 so I voted it up making it 0 at 6723.
Leave it aloooone now! :S
And i balanced the comments with the 400th comment.
meh ^^ to keep ppl playing. It's for the good of the colony.
Sometimes I feel like a ****... I swapped my vote (+2) then I voted after I logged out (+3)
srsly? theres always one who screws things like this up.
Virtual High-Five!!
I have changed my vote, and it is now at 7000 each side... So epic.
It's probably just the same hundred or so who log out and vote on it anonymously to keep it balanced.
-7 ):
me too. *high fives*
its fun changing your vote to unbalance it more
theres always some jerk who tries to make it uneven. thank god for all the good people who fix that. :)
(Your+name+(optional)): heeheehee
hehe yay :)
new ppl that wanna add to this should cause lots of ppl dont click one so it stays balanced but someone else will balance you out too so GO FOR IT!
I balanced it! I feel so special even though approximately 50% of the people who read this post did it, too . . .
Thanks for letting me know =]
I think I saw it at +5 or 6 before and made it 7 or 8 :D
When I last saw this post, there were 7,000 votes exactly for Yes AND No... now it's at 8,093 each. At Least 1,000 people have tried to ruin this work of art :(
No... 2,186 people have added to the votes.
Mwuahahahaha this is gonna ruin it forever.
500 people have favorited this post so....heres another notification for all 500 people =D
Hahahahaha got me.
Noe -1... Bring it down the other way!
all us people who change their votes just to unbalance we should organise synchronised attacks to unbalance it us much as possible
All such ppl, message me on my profile, we will set up a secret meeting as to avoid a counter attack.
everyone slowly click Now way so all at once when we click Yes You Are the revolution will begin
everyone vote down
well it's not gonna be balanced at 8282-8283 is it
To everyone who favorite'd it, vote it down next Monday, then up 2 days later, back and forth and so-on. It's gotta get momentum one way or the other eventually.

The state of Kentucky, the city of Campbellsville and the county of Taylor are hotbeds for basketball.
Campbellsville and Taylor County kept their boys' high school basketball seasons alive and advanced in post-season play to this week's Fifth Region Tournament at Nelson County.
It was the Eagles' 22nd overall district boys' crown and the eighth since Tim Davis came to guide the Eagles before the 1995-96 campaign.
During that 15-year span, the Eagles have made 10 trips to the Fifth Region Tournament.
Last week, Taylor County School Board members unanimously approved a resolution adopting an extra nickel tax.
Predictably, opposition has arisen and petitions are circulating against the proposed tax. Ultimately, this issue may come before residents for a vote.
In the meantime, we encourage open, rational and intelligent discussion with factual information provided from both sides. See the story on today's front page.
Kudos to workers in the City and County road departments for their long, tiring hours of work during the recent snowstorm.
While the rest of us were snug in our warm homes, they were out in the cold, salting and scraping the roads so we could get where we needed to go.
Snow fell last Friday night nearly as fast as they could clear it, yet roads were still passable on Saturday.
We appreciate your hard work!
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Those are the code words these days. With the push in recent years to "go green" in order to save the nation's vital natural resources for generations to come, it's time we all started taking at least small steps to help the environment.
And some have found it's not quite as hard as it might seem.
If you don't already know, both the City of Campbellsville and Waste Management have recycling bins available.
It's way more than just great cookies.
Chartered by Congress in March 1950, Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's top organization dedicated solely to girls where all are accepted and nurtured and taught the skills to build character and reach success in the real world.
With the help of committed adult volunteers, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives, like leadership, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.
We've known for years that our community is made up of residents who care about others.
From the various school and sports fundraisers our children participate in to community events such as Relay for Life and Crusade for Children, local residents never hesitate to dig deep into their pockets for others.
And when there's not enough money to spare, our residents give of their time.
With the devastating earthquake in Haiti, several local groups are spearheading donation drives to help victims. See the story on today's front page about what you can do to help.
Many little girls grow up dreaming of a chance to participate in the annual Junior Miss program. And that dream came true for one local young woman this year.
MeLeigha Pollock will represent Taylor County at the state competition this weekend in Lexington.
MeLeigha will put her best foot forward and do an outstanding job, as have all those who have gone before her. She will participate this weekend in the talent, self-expression, fitness, judges' interview and scholastics preliminaries, with the finals set for Saturday evening.
At Monday night's County budget meeting, magistrates said they planned to consider holding off on giving pay raises to County employees this year. They all said they felt that would be best.
While that's likely not considered a positive to those employees involved, it should be to the rest of the community.
Workers across the community, the state and even the nation are having to bite the economic recession bullet. Those who still have jobs are grateful every day - or should be.
By the end of this week, a new year will have begun - 2010. Almost hard to believe, isn't it?
As we move ahead, we know that New Year's resolutions can be a dime a dozen. We all make them, and few of us follow them through. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
We may have a few personal things that we're going to resolve in 2010 - trim a few pounds, stop smoking, get right with God, rekindle a friendship, or be a better person.
As a community, our resolutions may not be so personal, even though we could certainly work as one toward many goals.
It's unfortunate, but there will always be people who believe they're entitled to something for nothing - and that something may be yours.
In the past, we've passed along tips from local law enforcement officials on how to keep our Christmas safe from the ultimate Grinch. And with the struggling economy, there could be even more thieves prowling our neighborhoods at night.
Most thefts and burglaries occur between December and February, according to Campbellsville Police Chief Dennis Benningfield. And because of that, we should all be a little more careful.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
If you've been having trouble getting into the holiday spirit, this past weekend was made just for you. And there's plenty more to come in the next few weeks.
From the live nativity scene at Miller Park - and the accompanying Christmas music at the amphitheater, Saturday's Christmas parade and Sunday's Campbellsville Woman's Club Christmas Home Tour to the concerts over the weekend - and yet to come - at Campbellsville University, there were plenty of opportunities for entertainment.
The Central Kentucky News-Journal will celebrate its 100th birthday this year. In almost 10 decades of service, the newspaper has moved from newcomer to welcomed friend. With a close eye on serving our community, the paper has become a healthy business interest and we owe much of it to our faithful readers.
Much has changed in the past 100 years and as we prepare to head into a new year, you will notice one obvious change on the front page of today's issue.
We all have an important decision to make tomorrow.
With the governor's appointment of former Sen. Dan Kelly to the vacant judge's seat in the 11th Judicial Circuit, his chair in Frankfort is now empty.
And voters in the 14th District - Taylor, Marion, Mercer, Nelson and Washington counties - have a special election to elect the person to fill that position.
Tomorrow, we will choose between Republican Jimmy Higdon and Democrat Jodie Haydon.
After competing in numerous national tournaments in many sports in its storied history, Campbellsville University claimed the school's first national team championship when the Lady Tigers captured the National Christian College Athletic Association Volleyball Tournament on Saturday in Kissimmee, Fla.
Coach Randy LeBleu's squad won all six matches in the three-day tourney to bring home the top hardware.
Congratulations, Lady Tigers, on an outstanding season. Your hard work shows.
The war in Afghanistan isn't going well. The economic recovery isn't producing many new jobs. The banks that pushed the nation to the brink of a 1930s-style Depression with their reckless ways - having sucked up billions of taxpayer dollars in rescue money - are resuming those reckless ways. There isn't enough swine flu vaccine to go around.
And now for some bad news:
Nielsen, the company that clocks television viewing in this country, has found that children between the ages of 2 and 5 are watching an average of 25 hours of television each week.
The Central Kentucky News-Journal welcomes letters on a variety of topics, including letters about political races and candidates.
We anticipate there will be letters written supporting and possibly criticizing candidates. If you support a candidate, write and tell our readers the reasons why. If there's a candidate you don't particularly like, you can write about that, too.
Use good taste and don't libel anyone. You can say what you believe, but personal attacks or allegations that cannot be verified will not be accepted.
Today is a day officially set aside as a time for gratitude. And those of us who live in Campbellsville and Taylor County have so much for which to be grateful.
Most of us will sit down with family members and friends for a meal that can only be described as a feast. We can also be thankful that we have friends and neighbors and churches who will be there for those who don't have family and friends nearby or for those who don't have the resources to provide their own feasts.
This editorial originally appeared in The Lebanon Enterprise.
A city official stopped at The Lebanon Enterprise office this week. When staff members joked with her about running for a state office, her reply was no, she wasn't interested.
"That's real politics," she said.
Based on what we've seen so far from the campaigns to fill the vacant District 14 State Senate seat, we're inclined to agree with her. District 14 includes Marion, Mercer, Nelson, Taylor and Washington counties.
Our community does an outstanding job of celebrating and decorating this time of year. School plays, church choirs, parades and celebrations are popping up all around us. All we have to do is pay attention.
With all the activities at hand, we'd be hard pressed not to close our eyes and hear the jingle of sleigh bells and the Ho-Ho-Ho of that bearded gentleman from the north.
But let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas as we make our rounds during this holiday season.
