Skip to comments.Ed Meese Takes Chris Matthews Head On 1/12/2006 (Cleans Matthews' Clock)
Posted on 01/13/2006 9:08:20 AM PST by Howlin
MATTHEWS: Up next, well get some reaction to Tices allegations from former Attorney General Ed Meese. Hes coming here. Youre watching HARDBALL only on MSNBC.
MATTHEWS: Welcome back to HARDBALL. From the NSAs secret spying to the CIA leak probe and the bribery on Capitol Hill, theres no shortage of legal questions and criminal matters facing Washington lately. But just how many people have broken the law?
Were joined by a man who knows, former Attorney General Ed Meese. Hes author of the Heritage Guide to the Constitution, a very impressive volume, sir. Thank you.
Let me ask you, when you were A.G., the NSAdid it have this latitude to surveil us, Americans?
ED MEESE, REAGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL: Well, the ability to do that inherently in the Constitution was there, but it wasnt necessary to use at the time, except in certain instances, and at that time there was an intercept program in certain categories. It was very highly classified, but it wasit was used at the time and properly so.
MATTHEWS: Can you ...
MEESE: Its not really spying on Americans, its intercepting international communications dealing with terrorists at the present time, or enemies in those days, in which, on occasion, someone of the links would be to telephones within the United States, but its not wiretapping. Its not bugging. The news media is almost totally getting it wrong.
MATTHEWS: But whywhats the difference if Im on the phone with somebody in Saudi Arabia and Im being tapped?
MEESE: Well youre not being tapped. The tapping is a particular technique of connecting into the wires of a particular phone or intoplugging into a particular wireless phone. This is intercepting communications that are going overseas. Theres a lot of technology to it that I cant go into right now.
MATTHEWS: But its still eavesdropping, isnt it?
MEESE: It is surveillance. Its surveillance, under certain circumstances and its justifiable in a wartime situation or inwhen youre dealing with enemies of the country.
MATTHEWS: How do you police an administration so that it only surveils, it only intercepts phone messages, e-mails that are clearly in that category you describe, which is contacts with the enemy?
MEESE: You have all kinds of protections. You have inspector general operations within the National Security Agency that will look at this stuff. There are all kinds of protocols to protect against and minimize any possible people who should not be in this category.
Besides that, the president has gone out of his way to legitimatize this by meeting with Congress, by letting the committees of Congress know about it, the intelligence committees, the leadership of the Congress.
Hes gone out of his way to get legal advice from the Department of Justice, from the legal counsel for the National Security Agency, so I think the president has really done everything possible to handle this in the proper way.
MATTHEWS: But he hasnt obeyed the law, has he?
MEESE: He has obeyed the law.
MATTHEWS: The law says he has to get court approval by this special court, FISA, and he didnt do it.
MEESE: No, it doesnt say that. The law says that the FISA process is a vehicle available to the president, but it doesnt say its the only vehicle. Even the FISA court has admitted that, and theres ample case law to precedent ...
MATTHEWS: What checks his power then, the presidents to do it? How doesis there somebody there saying Mr. President, you cannot bug that person, you cannot intercept that persons phone messages.
MEESE: There is athere areas I say, there are protocols within NSA that would prohibit it. Theres an inspector general in the NSA that checks on this to make sure they are following it. Its like many other things, just like in wiretaps, that are legitimatized by a court order.
Once you get the wiretap warrant, its up to the individuals and the procedures within the FBI, for example, to make sure that theyre following the warrant in the proper way.
MATTHEWS: Well, you know, you mentioned the fact that the president notified the Congress. He notified the intelligence committees, and when he did so, the ranking Democrat on Senate Intelligence Committee wrote a letterbecause he was told he couldnt tell his staff about it. So Jay Rockefeller wrote down in a letter complaining about it. That didnt do any good.
MEESE: No, he didnt write a letter complaining about it. He wrote a very short note saying he had some questions about this and then he didnt follow up on it. I think it was kind of one of those CYA letters to tell you the truth.
MATTHEWS: You dont think he was condemning the program at all?
MEESE: I dont think he was condemning the program, because if he had, he should have followed up. He wrote this to the vice president, if I remember correctly.
MATTHEWS: Right.
MEESE: He should have followed up with the vice president to explain what those questions were and to get an answer. Theres no reason why he couldnt have.
MATTHEWS: So youas your confidence in this administration not breaking the rules or is it a confidence you have in the government processes?
MEESE: I have a confidence in both, this administration because the president is a very honest man of great integrity. I also have a great belief that the proper rules are in place to prevent improper use of this particular technique.
I also understand the necessity of doing this when were dealing with terrorists. There is some reasons why you cant get a warrant, an authorization by the FISA court in certain circumstances. Thats what led the president to give the direction. He ispersonally, White House people, including the president, are monitoring it; thats why these authorizations are only good for 45 days or thereabouts. So...
MATTHEWS: Maybe I have more suspicion about misuse of authority, but I do remember that we spent a lot of time over the last several months looking at people in the administration who may or may not have used their authority to leak the identity of a CIA agent.
MEESE: Well, now, you know, thats a very good topic. Much more serious violation of security laws was made by The New York Times in revealing this and by the person who revealed this to The New York Times than ever happened in the Plame case that youre talking about. As a matter of fact, in that case, there was no violation of law in all probability.
MATTHEWS: Well, youre right. Its not been established yet.
MEESE: If there had been, they would have gotten Scooter Libby on that.
MATTHEWS: Yes, we just had Russ Tice on here, a staffer from the NSA itself, and I asked himmaybe hes wrong, you tell mepeople who were being targeted by the NSA surveillance, know it. Now, we know it. The average American knows it. Why is that shameful, or why is that a betrayal of American trust for The Times to report that we now know whats going on?
MEESE: Because this was a legitimate, lawful act by the president.
MATTHEWS: Then why keep it secret?
MEESE: Because you dont want the enemy to know that youre intercepting and surveilling these kinds of conversation.
MATTHEWS: So you believe they didnt know that?
MEESE: I believe they didnt know all of it. Not like they do now, and I think it was a terrible thing to reveal this. I think The New York Times is culpable of actually hurting our national security.
MATTHEWS: So how would you go onhow about all leaks get punished?
MEESE: Well, I think it depends on the seriousness of the leak. You know, in the Plame case...
MATTHEWS: The CIA believes that the Plame case was serious because they believed that it jeopardized the undercover security of our agents around the world and all their contacts.
MEESE: I dont think thats true. And I think...
MATTHEWS: Why did they bring it to the Justice Department?
MEESE: And particularly, I think in this particular case, this person wasnt even a covert agent anymore. It had been more than five years since she ever had been undercover. She was operating fully...
MATTHEWS: The fact is that shesher status was undercover, and the agency...
MEESE: Not at the time.
MATTHEWS: OK. Why did the agency go to the FBI?
MEESE: I have no idea.
MATTHEWS: Well, I do.
MEESE: It was certainly making a mountain out of a mole hill...
MATTHEWS: They felt...
MEESE: ... because here, she had been more than five yearsshe was a housewife. She worked at the agency in an administrative position. I think...
MATTHEWS: OK. Well, Scooter Libby is facing 30 years in jail for a mountain out of a mole hill. Thats a serious matter.
MEESE: It has nothing to dohe wasnt even charged with that crime. He was charged with a lot of offenses relating, allegedly at least, to ...
MATTHEWS: OK, why is he covering it up?
MEESE: ... falsely ...
MATTHEWS: Why is he covering it up if it was legal?
MEESE: Im not sure he was. Well have to wait for the trial to find that out.
MATTHEWS: We will. All we got are indictments.
Former Attorney General Ed Meese, thank you very much.
----end of excerpt------
Isn't it? Meese didn't say one thing that we haven't said right here on FR and Matthews seemed sandbagged.
I think we could take him.
Definetely a good read, thanks for posting. Its nice to hear that O'l Ed Meese is still around and kicking (hard)!
Happen to catch the whole thing; Meese was outstanding! Need to send him out there more often. He kept correcting Chrissy who always seems to have too much saliva in his mouth.
Oh no I didn't have to see it to appreciate it. This is fabulous!!! Meese had Matthews for lunch, and he doesn't even know it...or care. Matthews just keeps on keeping on, trying his darnest to keep up the charade that he knows what he's talking about.
Hellsbells, I could even insert the spots where Matthews spit and had drool at the corners of his mouth!
thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooo much! I would hate to have missed this.
AND.........did Matthews even once this week mention the Alito hearing? I didn't watch HARDBALL much this week, but when I flipped in, it seemed he was making a concerted effort to try and keep the spotlight away from the Democrat dunderheads embarrassing themselves trying to nail Alito.
You have to give Little Chrissy some credit for even inviting Mr. Meese on to the show to debate the issues. That's like me inviting Lebron James or Shaq over to my house for a game of one on one.
I happened to catch part of this interview, while I was clicking by. Stopped only to see Ed Meese, who would not let Chrissie interrupt him. Meese kept his train of throught very effectively, Matthews tends to bully so badly, but Meese dealt with him just great.
Chrissie's mind, such as it is, must be going by now. He's just now getting over a 3rd bout with malaria, after yet another family trip to Africa over Christmas. Why he keeps exposing himself to such a disease is beyond me.
He is not just articulate, he is sharp, no nonsense and no spin guy. We so desperately need more like him.
He never seems to know the facts and I wonder if it is purposeful. Or maybe it's just that Ignorance really is Bliss.
I really like Meese.
I wish I had, I am a big admirer of ED Meese. He is an incredibly decent men. Maybe I can catch it when it is rerun!
Do you doubt for a moment that Matthews knew full well that he was lying thru his teeth every time he spoke?
It was awesome...
Meese slapped Matthews around and just looked at him like "You have NO clue, Chrissy."
I found it equally humorous that Meese mispronounced Plame as "Palmey" as if the situation wasn't even important enough to bother with...
It made me want to stand up and cheer!
I will give Matthews some credit on his show last night though...
He had Russell Tice on (the NSA "whistleblower") and he did grill him a little about what he witnessed.
Dignified, intelligent, articulate elder statesmen....REPUBLICAN heroes.
Thank you!
roflmao.........I know! LOL.
I laughed all the way through that show.....especially when Tucker Carlson said that Chuck Hagel would be the GOP nominee.

I thought that I did this the right way, but it turns out I can't allocate more than 1 size of an array. (I'm supposed to initialize a room_array data structure which is an array of structs).
I have this syntax.
This is the headerCode:int size_room = sizeof(struct room); room_t **room_structs = (room_t **)malloc(num_rooms * size_room);
this is a follow up from my last post, can anyone help me? I've been stuck since 7 pmCode:// a struct containing all the information which represents a room struct room { int room_id; char *description; mob_t mob; exit_t exits[NUM_DIRECTIONS]; puzzle_t puzzle; };

Memorial services were held Friday at the First Presbyterian Church in Bishop for Harold "Hal" W. Johnson.
Born Dec. 16, 1919 in Mt. Vernon, Mo. to Fred and Helen Johnson, the second of ten children, Harold died Wednesday, April 27, 2010 in Bishop. He was 91.
Harold left the family farm at age 16 to find his place in this world. Harold was a veteran of World War II, serving overseas in the elite "Marine Raiders" unit of the United States Marine Corps. He was awarded a Purple Heart. After the war, he returned to Southern California where he courted and wed the love of his life Betty Stallings of Santa Paula on July 7, 1947 in Inglewood. They settled in South Gate, raising their daughter, Sherry and son, Larry.
Harold worked for Southern California Edison as a line crew foreman and retired in 1982 after 36 years of service. In 1983 he fulfilled his dream of moving to Bishop, where he would take full advantage of his favorite High Sierra activities; skiing, hiking and fishing. Harold loved woodworking, making many pieces of beautiful furniture that adorn his and Betty"s home and becoming treasured family heirlooms. Harold had a wonderful gift, he could do or fix just about anything, making him a neighborhood favorite, as he was always glad to lend a hand with any project.
Although he left the farm at a young age the farmer attributes never left him. He carved a beautiful backyard, with raised beds for flowers, a sunny section for the tomatoes, rhubarb and vegetables that he and Betty so much enjoyed. He planted many fruit and ornamental trees, all thriving out of the less than perfect Bishop soil. Year round their yard is a visual delight and a haven for friends, feathered friends and family to relax and visit.
One of Hal's biggest life challenges was the gradual loss of hearing that came about after contracting malaria and the after effects of the drugs administered to him during his service in WW II. He tried very hard not to let this slow him down.
Harold and Betty became members of the First Presbyterian Church of Bishop. This has blessed their lives with so many special people, who along with friends and very special neighbors have supported Hal's beloved Betty through the end of his last days.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Betty; daughter and son-in-law, Sherry and Gary Anderson of Perris, Calif.; his son and daughter-in-law, Larry and Melodee Johnson of Owasso, Okla.; two granddaughters, Carrie Llado and Jodi Johnson-Kile; seven great-grandchildren, Melanie, Madeline and Zachery Kile, Hannah, Savannah and Bella Llado and Ava; sisters, Cordelia Wiehe of Owasso and Louise Peters of Springfield, Mo.; and brothers, Marshall Johnson of San Miguel, and Jerry Johnson of Springfield, Mo.

There's really not much to say--I'm 14, live in North Carolina, and love curling up with a good book.
I deleted "You Remind Me"--the mods rejected the idea I originally had in mind for it, and I just hit this huge block. Hopefully someday I'll be able to ressurect it, and it'll be better all around.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A Swiss artist plans to bury an intact Boeing 727 jetliner in California's Mojave Desert and build a tourist tunnel to give visitors a chance to view the underground project. Christoph Buchel has applied for a Kern County conditional-use permit that will allow him to bury the 153-foot-long decommissioned airliner west of Boron. It's not far from the desert's aircraft boneyard. The jetliner would be buried 38 feet below the surface. Visitors will be able to experience the subterranean art project via an underground tunnel connecting the plane to a parking area. They'll be able to use the plane's restrooms, which will be connected to a septic system. See the rest here: Artist Plans To Bury A Plane In The Desert

Price fans seven in Grapefruit return vs. Twins
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- In a familiar Grapefruit League matchup, the Rays and the Twins met Saturday for the fifth and final time this spring, and the Twins came away with a 6-4 win at Charlotte Sports Park.
David Price made just his fourth official start after pitching in Minor League contests in his past two outings due to the Rays having off-days when he was scheduled to pitch.
Wilkin Ramirez singled off Price to open the Twins' second. One out later he stole second then scored when Dan Rohlfing singled to left.
"I felt pretty good, Price said. I'm still searching right now, but I feel fine. My stuff is good. It's good in the bullpen. My arm feels good. ... I really feel like it took me until my fourth start [to really be in the groove]. That's when everything clicked for me. And I'm still kind of waiting for that right now."
Kevin Correia started for the Twins, making his sixth appearance of spring. The right-hander, who signed a two-year deal with the Twins in December, surrendered a leadoff home run to Jose Lobaton to start the Rays' third that tied the score at 1. Lobaton was 3-for-3 on the day.
Price walked in a run in the fourth, and third baseman Evan Longoria's error allowed another run to score to put the Twins up 3-1.
Correia surrendered back-to-back RBI doubles to Yunel Escobar and James Loney in the fourth. Loney then scored on center-fielder Aaron Hicks' error to put the Rays up 4-3.
Price allowed two earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out seven in five innings.
Correia went 4 2/3 innings and allowed three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two.
The Twins pulled ahead in the seventh, 5-4, and didn't give up the lead. Rays' pitcher Jim Paduch struck Ryan Doumit out swinging, but he went to first on a wild pitch and was replaced by pinch-runner Drew Butera. Paduch then issued a walk to Chris Colabello, and both he and Butera scored on a single from Eduardo Escobar.
Up next for the Rays: Jeremy Hellickson will start Sunday afternoon when the Rays travel to Tampa to play the Yankees in a 1:05 p.m. ET contest. The 25-year-old right-hander will be making his fifth appearance of the spring; he is 2-0 with a 4.97 ERA. Also slated to see action for the Rays are Kirby Yates and Joel Peralta. Adam Warren will start for the Yankees. Watch the game live on MLB.TV.

In some organizations with too high of a hierarchy, even those simple acknowledgements can go unknown.
@ pcharles: I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately this is the case in many organizations where HR system is either ineffective or purposefully flawed. Line or department head sitting over you, doesn't let your accomplishments or performance recognized, just to keep his position secure. In those environment it isn't wise to spend your time and efforts in over performing but rather finding a better alternative for yourself.
it's far more constructive to hear something in the moment than six or 12 months after it happened.
@ Susan: Completely agree. I think Intra company social network can do this job well, but it will only fulfil the purpose if it builds up into annual performance score and used as replacement of annual appraisal.

Consumers could take their old yogurt containers to the curb by next spring.
The city of Durango plans to expand its recycling with a new single-stream program, which would accept seven different kinds of plastic. It currently accepts only Plastics 1 and 2 bottles and jugs.
Single-stream would also allow consumers to mix all of their recyclable materials together instead of having to sort materials, but the city would still expect residents to rinse them before pick-up.
The catch, however, is that city residents could be charged a new $3 monthly fee for the curbside pickup, but the city council on Tuesday did not make any decisions or recommendations, preferring more analysis of the anticipated costs.
Another downside is that Durango could no longer accept glass at the curb. So it would have to develop more drop-off spots for glass.
Mayor Doug Lyon wondered if there would be some labor savings because staff members would have to do less sorting.
Because single-stream is also supposed to make it easier for the city to commodify or sell its recycled materials, the city should also be able to reduce the load it takes to the landfill and ultimately pass the savings on to the consumer, said City Manager Ron LeBlanc in an interview.
Currently, its $13 dollars a month for a 60-gallon container.
But the city wont be able to pass the savings on to the consumer for at least a year so the city can have time to evaluate the impact, LeBlanc said.
We have to see how many people will participate and how dedicated they are to the single stream, LeBlanc said.
The city manager prefers to make the program voluntary rather than impose the fee on everybody.
Lyon said it was ironic that the city would consider discouraging the use of paper grocery bags with a 10-cent fee because the single-stream program could accept paper bags at the curb.
He wondered how people transport their recycled materials from the kitchen to the container.
To promote the new recycling program, the city will put single-stream bins out this weekend during the USA Pro Cycling Challenge activities.

What was Madison Keys doing when she found out that she had 10 minutes before she would be facing 2011 French Open champion Li Na on center court? Sitting on a couch in the player lounge doing her algebra homework.
About an hour and a half later, the 18-year old had notched the biggest win of her young career, beating the fifth-ranked Li 6-3, 6-2 in the first round of the Mutua Madrid Open. The win was Keys' first over a Top 10 player as well as her first over a Slam champion.
"I had practice really early this morning because I didn't think I was in [the tournament]," said Keys, who lost in the final round of qualifying to Bethanie Mattek-Sands on Saturday. Despite the loss, she still had a chance to slip into the main draw as a "lucky loser" if another player withdrew from the tournament. A few minutes before Li's match was set to begin, she got word that Li's scheduled opponent Tamira Paszek had withdrawn due to an upper respiratory illness. Keys packed up her books and scrambled to get on court.
"I just kind of sat around waiting all day and, like, 10 minutes before the match I got a text message, 'Yeah, no, you're going on so go get ready!' And then we went on 10 minutes later," she said with a giggle.
The win over Li was a revenge match of sorts. The two faced off earlier this year in Keys' first WTA quarterfinal match in Sydney. Though Keys had her chances to cause the upset then, Li came back from a set down to win 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2. After the match, the Chinese national was glowing with praise for the teen, noting her belief that she was a a Top 15 player in the making.
This time around, Keys says having short notice of the match helped her stay focused. "Not over-thinking it all day and sitting around and kind of worrying about it I think really helped. All of a sudden I was so excited and adrenaline was going and all that. I just kind of started playing and felt really good and I was able to win. And it was my first red clay court tournament since I was, like, 14. So getting a big win feels good."
Li, who made the final in Stuttgart a week ago, struggled to find her range early and littered the stat sheet with unforced errors. She hit a whopping 34 unforced errors to just eight winners, while Keys was much cleaner, hitting 11 unforced to seven winners. It wasn't a pretty match but it was a huge confidence booster for Keys, who became the first woman outside of the Top 4 to beat Li this year.

As for GRO...played about 6 matches this afternoon, and honestly I would be all for it if not for the store. With my entry level character a sniper rifle would take 3 to 4 shots to kill someone, even if you are hitting them in the head? Hard to tell because the sights such on it.
As the class with the LMG I was getting an average of three kills per match, but snipers were taking me out with one shot in the body from out of range for my gun. Yes, this is where the store ruins it. These guys are buying the high end sniper rifles and they can one shot me from across the map.
So for three matches in a row I was finding that 5 of the 6 members of the other team were snipers, and all using the paid for rifles. You could not get near them, but sadly the game was to capture multiple points on the map, and they lost because they could not move anywhere without my LMG cutting them down.
So while they are deadly, they are easy to lock down. If they were smart enough to get a couple team members to buy the high end LMGs or something they probably would have stomped us. Anyways, much like 90% of the games I have downloaded in the last three months, here is another one to hit the delete button on.

So digital was all for nothing?
So having just chucked out my old analog TVs and buying a new antenna and digital TV's and tuners they are now proposing to dump broadcast TV altogether?
So who put him up to this? Cox or Time-Warner?
Although he's facing strong – and at times rabid – opposition to his recently released Open Internet plan, defending the plan isn't the main concern of FCC chairman Julius Genachowski. "Unleashing spectrum to support mobile innovation is at the top of the FCC's 2011 agenda," Genachowski said on Thursday at the Consumer …
So having just chucked out my old analog TVs and buying a new antenna and digital TV's and tuners they are now proposing to dump broadcast TV altogether?
So who put him up to this? Cox or Time-Warner?
So now I know it isn't that hard to use the word spectrum so many times that it begins to fade out of consciousness like a single blade of grass vanishing into the dew moistened meadow with little blue flowers and the hum of happy bees. If only we could just unleash that 400 to 700 nanometer spectrum and sell it to the highest bidder, we could buy our way out of the dep^H^H^Hrecession and into more jobs in less optical markets.
So do we, the folks that watch free broadcast tv, then get cable for free? That 10% he is talking about is mostly likely the older folks and those that cannot afford cable. If it's up to the current administration, they'd probably make some kind of gov't program for those who can't afford it where those who can pay will pay an extra fee. what about those who DON'T want to have 100's of channels. That's where I fall in. I could pay for cable, but I don't watch that much TV.
I'm one of those that now only really requires a phone with 3g and an internet connection for home. I have a HDTV for movies, hulu, and netflix. I have rabbit ears for local news and Law and order.
...the "open internet" plan was actually pretty tepid, sort of puttered around the edges of the problem, and didn't go nearly far enough to ensure 'Net neutrality.
As far as Obummer being a one-term President... hell, he's doing that himself just fine without the help of Mitch McConnell, or the GOP, for that matter. All he needs to do is keep crapping on his "base" the way he has for the past two years.
The problem is how much you invest in your network. Thanks to technologies like adaptive antennas you can increase the capacity a great deal without having to have new frequencies.
It's maybe worth recalling that the digital TV in the UK isn't all that advanced. Later developments allow a lot of bandwidth to be released. I don't know what standards the USA has adopted, but this approach might recover a lot pf bandwidth, without the same struggle with the politics.
And since it means large amounts of money will go to existing media companies, to some politicians it might be an indirect bribe. Maybe not campaign contributions, but possibly the news reports become a little more favourable.
But I wonder how he gets to the figure of "millions of jobs"?
Wait a second... The telcos and Republicans want to allow corporations to control the Internet, then the FCC will sell off free TV spectrum so that everybody must buy TV service from the same telcos? I just checked the local rates for basic HD cable with one jack: $73 + taxes and unspecified fees per month. I'd like a new government now.
Most rural areas in the US (and a lot of the US is rural in case you haven't noticed) doesn't get cable (satellite's the only option) or broadband - hell, a good half the time even cell-phone service involved walking out to one end of the back porch!
But, on the other hand, what's the difference between 200 channels of crap and 4 local channels of crap? - Just the news and the weather ... does anyone remember local TV markets? When programmers actually knew the audience.


text: I'm starting to break strings quite often so I think it's about time for me to buy a stringer, and learn how to string myself. I'm a teenager and have a limited amount of money so it would be best if it was 700 or less. The most important thing to me is that it's high enough quality that it won't effect the playability compared to if I were to string it with a more expensive stringer. Any tips and knowledge appreciated. Thanks!

Oaklawn officials say the fire broke out Tuesday morning in one of the upstairs sleeping rooms of a barn. Assistant general manager David Longinotti says the blaze was quickly extinguished.
Longinotti tells the Sentinel-Record that investigators believe the fire started after clothing was left near a space heater.
The barn has 48 stalls and Longinotti says about 30 of those were in use at the time of the fire.
No live racing was scheduled Tuesday. The track is entering its last few weeks of the racing season with the Racing Festival of the South scheduled for next week.

A day after a 39-year-old surfer was fatally attacked in the waters off remote Surf Beach in Santa Barbara County, authorities said Wednesday that a 15-to-16-foot great white shark killed him.
Francisco Javier Solorio Jr. of Orcutt died Tuesday after having been bitten in the upper left torso, according to an investigation from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.
A fellow surfer pulled Solorio ashore and performed CPR, which was taken over by responding paramedics from surrounding Vandenberg Air Force Base. He was pronounced dead at the beach, near Lompoc.
Experts had said it was likely that only a great white shark could inflict that kind of fatal harm, and the sheriff's department released its expert's findings Wednesday.
"The shark in this tragic incident has been positively identified as a 15' – 16' foot Great White Shark. Ralph Collier from the Shark Research Committee in Chatsworth, CA, made the determination today after examining the decedent's body," the sheriff's department said in a statement Wednesday evening.
Sgt. Mark Williams of the sheriff's department had said earlier in the day that there have been several shark sightings in the broader area in recent months.
Solorio's death came almost exactly two years after a great white attack killed 19-year-old bodyboarder Lucas Ransom at the same beach. A memorial for Ransom stands near the now-closed entrance to Surf Beach.
On Wednesday, family members would not speak about Solorio, but a neighbor said the surfer had lived with a wife a young daughter.
Solorio's friend Brent Lieberman said his buddy's passion was surfing, though he worked in construction.
"He always had a good time when he was out surfing," said Lieberman said, who provided the photo at right of his friend.
"Any time you enter the ocean, you become part of the food chain. It's just something you understand when you paddle out," Lieberman added.
Vandenberg officials had closed all beaches adjacent the Air Force base for 72 hours beginning Tuesday.
"The intent is to allow time for any potential hazard to leave the area," said Col. Nina Armagno, 30th Space Wing commander, in a statement. "Officials from Vandenberg and Santa Barbara County are working together to reopen our beaches."
Solorio's death marks the first fatal shark attack in the United States this year.
In 2011, there were 75 cases of unprovoked shark attacks against humans worldwide, with 29 U.S. attacks, according to annual records kept by the Florida Museum of Natural History's International Shark Attack File.
Of all 2011 attacks, three were in California.
The worldwide figure for 2011 included 12 fatal attacks, none of which were in the United States.

Might as well add James White

I understand it would be nice to add a big to backup Chandler, but am I the only one that liked what harrelson brought in the few minutes he was in the games? Honestly, you don't have to be a super star to be in my squad, just show some hustle, run the floor and play the best D you can and I think every minute he gives Chandler is a plus
ima go ahead and take a guess on what happens.
2012-13 roster
PG. Lin--Kidd
SG. Foye--Shumpert*, Smith
SF. Melo--Novak, Smith
PF. STAT--Jeffries
C. Chandler--Harrelson, Jordan
*: replaces Foye when he returns from injury.
my guess on how things go. if we keep the MLE in a sign&trade for kidd then pursue Camby for the MLE.
i think this squad can do some work in my opinion

DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
["Iman Shumpert may have to replace Fields in a package that also may include Dan Gadzurics $1.4 million non-guaranteed contract, Toney Douglas expiring pact, Jerome Jordan and Josh Harrellson. Nash could end up making up to $8 million. Without a sign-and-trade, the Knicks only have their $3.09 million mini-midlevel exception".]
Kidd(odds are he starts if we can't get a legit SG like Mayo or Foye)
Honorable mention: Shawne Williams and Marcus Camby (12 man roster right there)....when Shumpert returns he will be the starter at the 2 obviously
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Jordan Schultz @206Child
Source confirms #Knicks are on verge of acquiring Marcus Camby via sign-and-trade for Toney Douglas, Josh Harrelson, Dan Gadzuric, JJordan.
Jordan Schultz @206Child
To confirm, if Camby sign-and-trade does go through, the mini mid-level still goes to Jason Kidd yes
If we manage to bring in Camby, Mobb DEEP just mutated in to a fearsome beast.
PG JR - Prigionni 'til Shump gets back....Kidd
SG JR - Jimmy White
SF Novak
PF Jefferies? What's his deal?
C Camby
Prefer to get a defender like Stevenson than J.R.
We have guys who can score (Melo, Amare, Lin), we have player who can defend - TC, but that's not enough. We need another defender, Stevenson can play defense against Kobe, Wade, James.
Defense wins title.

Students evaluate future prospects at career fair
By Luke Groskopf
Journal Staff Writer
More than 1,000 area high school students got a glimpse into the future last week at the first ever Montelores Collaborative Career Fair, hosted by Southwest Colorado Community College.
The teenagers were shuttled to SCCC in shifts: juniors and seniors in the morning, followed by freshmen and sophomores in the afternoon. Each student attended three 40-minute sessions featuring various professionals who explained their careers, along with related degrees or training. They answered student questions and dispensed advice on how to be a marketable employee.
The panelists, about 140 in all, offered a thorough cross-section of the workforce in Montezuma County.
There were doctors and police, bankers and chefs, writers and mathematicians, software designers and farmers, forest rangers and auto mechanics.
Doug Sparks of Empire Electric Association urged students to remain flexible, since technology is always shifting.
"Twenty years ago, technicians didn't know what a smart grid was. We all have to relearn things," he said.
Ed Merritt, president of Dolores State Bank, said employers appreciate reliable work ethic and presentability. He recommended that students do a self-assessment to decide if their personalities are suited to do work that is solitary or group-oriented, in the public eye or private, empirical or creative.
Merritt also told students to beware of the ever-watchful eyes of camera phones and social media. Unflattering photos and coarse comments are enough to disqualify an applicant from some employers' consideration.
"There is no private anymore," he said. "Everything is captured. We all do crazy things sometimes, but be wise. Employers check those sites."
Internships were a popular recommendation, not only as a resume builder, but also as a means for students to test their aptitude for a given field. If no formal internship is available, ask to shadow a professional, some panelists said.
Jessica Adams, an academic advisor with Trio Talent Search at Fort Lewis College, said smart planning starts now. She recommended taking rigorous courses in high school to boost credentials and be competitive for scholarships.
Cortez Fire Chief Jeff Vandevoorde said he looks for clear communicators.
"Learn to talk to adults. Learn to complete an application properly. Make sure the spelling is right. Dress well," he said. "In the job market nowadays, you have 30 people applying for two spots. You need to communicate well to set yourself apart."
Virtually all panelists encouraged students to discover their passions, saying life is invariably more gratifying if you don't despise waking up for work in the morning.
Registered nurse Natasha Aspromonte, for example, enjoys her work at Southwest Memorial Hospital because of the trust complete strangers place in her. She said nursing school gave her the tools and confidence needed to give excellent care to patients.
The career fair was meant to broaden horizons, according to Jennifer Carter, director of Southwest Open School. Carter was part of the committee that coordinated logistics and invited panelists.
"We provided exposure and resources regarding careers to high school-age students, so they'd be equipped with information, knowledge and an understanding of how to envision their own futures," she said.
Carter said teenagers are not always aware of the options available to them. While high schools in Cortez, Mancos, Dolores and Dove Creek employ counselors to help students prepare for college or the workforce, hearing from well-established working professionals can be an effective motivator.
"We are only able to discover our potential when we understand what potential options exist," Carter said.
Organizers hope the career fair will be the first of many to come. By holding the event annually, students could better clarify their post-high school ambitions over multiple visits. Theoretically, this year's freshman class will take part four times before graduation in 2016.
"It was helpful," said Eddie Martinez, an M-CHS sophomore with interest in engineering. "You're getting to meet people who have experience and who know (the jobs) first hand."
Ed Rice, Career Technical Education Director at M-CHS, said expecting all students to finalize their long-term career plans during high school isn't realistic. For some, the career fair merely helped to cross certain professions off the list. Others might find their interest piqued in a sector they had no idea about.
For Martinez, the biggest takeaway was the importance of time management.
"Don't wait until senior year to do everything. Be prepared," he said.


text: Tomic in his post match interview: A lot of players, when you play these sorts of players like Roger or Novak (Djokovic), you lose belief before you get into the match," Tomic said. "Eighty or ninety per cent of players that play the top guys, like with Roger, you lose your belief. "I got in there... they mentioned all these Grand Slams... Wimbledon champion seven times, five times US Open champion. Then I was, 'Oh, crap, it's Roger'. "I try to block out who's on the other side of the net but I couldn't quite do it after that announcement. Then that first service game was important. I lost it and then I was like, 'Oh no. ------------- How true is that, isn't it? Even though its top 4 who seem to have a big halo around their heads, that really scares s**t out of others just when seeing them on the other side of the net, its even more prominent with Nadal and Federer. Btw, do you think Tomic will break that mental barrier and make it through? And another btw, Fed will not win this AO. Its so bad seeing him hit his forehands that are already dead and just sent across... He ain't getting nowhere beyond semis.

Been thinkin' about that "Shuttle thing" for a few days. Did you see that "back-flip" from 200 miles above earth? It seems man has always searched the "heavens." Depending upon who's doing the looking, the stars are either magnets drawing the creature to the Creator or they're evidence, used by the secular folks, to prove an "un-intelligent creation." We've used them to predict the future by "sorcery." However, they are used by believers to verify the hand of God. The debate between these two "camps" is compared in Paul's first chapter of Romans. There, the unbeliever disputes the Creator and at the same time the Believers find an easy answer to where we came from, where we are at and where we might be going. For those opposed to the Father's Love, well, they're left to a deprived mind and unnatural inclinations and, as the Word declares, "are without excuse." Being "without excuse" because the creation is clearly seen "being understood by observing the things that are made." The invisible is clearly shown by the visible, God clearly shown by His "handiwork." (Psalm 19:1)
When believers see the "heavens," we find a confidence and confirmation for our faith. We can go even further than that; we know that The Father has named each individual star. Even today, celestial maps show the names from early biblical text: Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades. In what some scholars believe to be the oldest book of the Bible, the book of Job instructs us that God "spreadeth out the heavens and commandeth the sun." (Job 9:9, Job 38:31-32) From the very earliest writings, what the Shuttle and others before have been observing is a witness to the presence of God to all who "choose to believe."
Abram (who later was to be referred to in Scripture as Abraham) was from Ur of the Chaldees. He was from a cult of "moon-worshipers." He looked to the stars for answers. Some four thousand years ago, while searching the sky, Abram found the "Big Answer," the Creator of the skies! For us today, the witness found in the heavens offers a "fingerprint" of God's handiwork and easily identifies intelligent design. While we travel the heavens finding what believers trust is the evidence of God, others scoff and assume the heavens to be a Godless space.
There's another space I was reminded of while watching all the attention paid to NASA last few days. The space I'm referring to (as opposed to the vastness of Creation) is some of the smallest space we can image. Yet this smallest of spaces, contains the Spirit of the Whole Creation. All the imagination and wisdom of the Creator has been place uniquely in the Creature's heart. The majesty found in the vastness of space is surpassed by the tiniest human heart.
Paul reminds us we don't have to "ascend to Heaven" for our contact with God, rather, the Word of God is near, even in our mouths and our hearts. (Roman 10) Our God is not to be contacted in the hugeness of the heavens. No long distance calling here. Paul writes of a God that has "been made unto us Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification and Redemption" and lives inside our lives each day. (1Cor. 1)
It's that small space that reveals the glory of God just as profoundly as the spaciousness of the heavens. There's a story about Alexander Solzhenitsyn I have always found encouraging. He was a prisoner in Russia's Gulag for many years. His is a story of backbreaking work and slow systematic starvation. He eventually became a profound author (winning the Nobel Prize of Literature 1970) and a strong believer. He inspiringly wrote of the human experience. ("We have placed too much hope in political and social reforms, only to find out that we were being deprived of our most precious possession: our spiritual life.") The story: One day, the hopelessness of his situation was so much to bear that he felt no purpose in fighting on concluding his life could make no appreciable difference. Solzhenitsyn laid down his shovel and walked slowly to a work-site bench. He knew full well that to do so would result in a terrible beating and possibly death by the prison guards. He had seen that happen many times. As he sat waiting, head down, exhausted, he felt a presence. Lifting his eyes, next to him sat an old man with wrinkled skin and an expressionless face. Hunched over, never speaking a word, the man drew a stick through the sand at Solzhenitsyn's feet. As Solzhenitsyn stared at the outline his entire perspective shifted. The old man had drawn a cross in the sand. It changed Solzhenitsyn's perspective and life forever.
We may search for Him in the sky or we may search to disprove Him in the sky, but the human heart still can respond to one small "sign" in the sand. It's easy for believers to find him. It has been suggested that the complexity of the universe confirms an obvious witness of God. Some have said that to have a "faith' that there is no God is akin to believing you could take a bunch of watch parts into a cloths dryer and tumble them, have a watch "pop out." The probability of "no God" requires a profound faith in nothingness, and that in the middle of a very orderly universe.
Though we may search for Him in the sky, we will eventually have to come to the knowledge that His Spirit lives within the nearness of our hearts. The Spirit of the Creator of the whole universe is within your very breath. He has taken a "residence" there and is always home, never on vacation. You don't have to get out the telescope, no need to hope your prayer will "travel there." He's "Johnny on the spot" right where you are, being in where you are. We should remember that occasionally, He came "upon" David. Once in a while, He came "upon" the priest. Every now and then He came "upon" the Prophets. Comparatively, He profoundly came and is living and never leaving "within" the smallest of space, within you!
Remember Me
Our goal is simple: to encourage Christians in the truth of the Gospel. Daily encouragement is vital in anyone's life, and being reminded of who we are in Christ is so very important.

Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - Mirek and Dima - Screen Test
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Newcomer Dima Lauren came in for a screentest, with Mirek Ceslar recently. Mirek is very experienced and starts by leaning over to kiss Dima, and rub his chest. He then moves his hand down and goes into Dima's undies. They get up onto their knees and feel each other thru the undies as this kiss some more.Mirek bends Dima over and pulls the undies off his ass, spreading his cheeks. He then stands up and his hard cock is presented to Dima for sucking. Dima takes it in his mouth and sucks it very well. His mouth is full as Mirek holds his head and fucks the cock into his face, so deep that he gags. The undies come down some more so we see Mirek's balls swinging as he fucks Dima's mouth. Mirek then removes the undies and sits on the bed, his cock standing proud as Dima kneels beside him and continues to suck it. Dima is hard too and Mirek switches to suck him a while before they move to 69. Mirek's balls are resting on Dima's nose as his mouth is full of cock. His own rock hard dick is holding Mirek's attention too, being sucked nice and hard. They change position and continue to suck each other. Dima really seems to love the taste of cock. Mirek wants more though and is soon rimming Dima's ass, preparing it for more. He slips a finger into that sweet hole, and quickly follows it with another. He stretches that hole with his fingers, and then the cheeks are spread, with the hole wide open, and Mirek spits into it. They are both ready for more and Mirek sits again, so that Dima can climb on and ride that big, hard cock. Mirek fucks that ass nice and fast, his dick ramming all the way in. Then Dima takes over, working his ass up and down on the cock as he wanks himself. He really knows how to take it and soon changes position, with Mirek kneeling behind him pounding that eager hole. He really fucks it well, going nice and deep as Dima wanks himself. Then Dima turns over, to missionary position and Mirek shoves his big dick in again and, holding Dima's legs in the air, continues to deep dick his ass. Mirek's cock is building up to explode and he moves to Dima's face and shoots his nice big load all over it. Dima ends the scene by taking Mirek's cock in his mouth to drain the last of the cum from it. Dima certainly proved himself to be a great bottom in this scene, taking all the Marek could give him.
Rado Viker is from Prague and is aged 22. We moved very quickly to get him in for a massage shoot. He starts of by stripping off and giving us a complete 360 degree look at his naked body. Then he climbs onto the massage table. The masseur arrives and quickly gets to work. With oil on his hands he begins to massage Rado's back, working all over it. Then he moves down to work on Rado's legs. First the hands work on Rado's thighs and then move down to his calf muscles, squeezing and massaging them. Next it is onto the feet, oiling them good before moving up the legs again to Rado's waiting ass. The masseurs run over Rado's cock, which already appears to be very hard, and then onto his ass. The cheeks are spread and some lube is dripped into the crack. Then, while teasing the ass a bit, a hand begins to play with Rado's cock. Next the masseur takes a vibrator and runs it over Rado's cock head and up and down the ass crack. He then slips it into Rado's hole, fucking it in and out a little, before moving him up onto his knees. With the ass spread nicely the masseur wanks on Rado's cock and begins to fuck his ass again, with the wibrator. That cock looks a nice big one as it is being wanked. A different vibrator then comes into play and slips into Rado's hole. The ass holds it in place as the hands run over the cheeks. Then removing the black vibrator the masseur uses the orange one again. Rado is taking all very well, as the masseur plays with his ass and his cock. Then Rado turns over and lays down. The masseur takes hold of Rado's cock and wanks it, increasing the tempo until he shoots a nice big load of cum. The cum is scooped up, by the masseur, and is wiped all over Rado's face. With a cum covered face and a sticky, flaccid cock Rado is left to relax. What a very nice shoot this was, with Rado being a very good sport and taking it all in his stride.
Sascha Borodin is from Russia and is aged 18. He is a student of travel management and enjoys fitness, snow-boarding and tennis. He does a very nice interview and then stands and begins his show. Quickly removing his top we see that beautiful chest and as we are admiring it Sascha turns, and pushes his pants down to show a wonderful bubble butt. He then faces the camera again, pants down and we see his gorgeous, flaccid cock, and pendulous balls. But he doesn't stop moving and turns again to spread his ass and show us his hole. Next Sascha begins to wank his cock and very soon it is rock hard and standing proud. Another turn and he bends over and spreads his cheeks again, kneeling on the bed with his ass perfectly in view, with those big balls hanging down. He's certainly doing all the moves as he faces the camera again, wanking on his big cock, before showing that hot ass again. Then Sascha lays down on the bed to wank his cock. He keeps it nice and hard as he wanks. A helping hand arrives and immediately starts to oil Sascha's body as he wanks. Then Sascha lifts his legs to show his hole, and for the hands to play with it. Firstly oiling that hole and then slipping a finger deep inside. As the finger fucks Sascha's tight ass he wanks his cock, making it throb for us. Then the hand takes over the wanking for a while as Sascha relaxes. Then he takes over and wanks himself to a wonderful cumshot, dumping a hot load of cream over his body. Then he goes off to take a well deserved shower. Sascha is such a great looking guy, and gives a fabulous performance in this video.
Anton Verbik is aged 23 and lives in Prague. He is currently unemployed and likes martial arts and ice-hockey.
After his interview Anton turns over and lies on the bed, jeans open. We see a good body and a nice amount of bush hair, as we are teased with a glimpse into the jeans. As he rubs his body Anton dips his hand into his jeans and feels his cock. We soon get to see it and it is nicely hard already. He pulls it out and begins to play with it. Rock hard and throbbin already that big cock looks great. The foreskin hiding half of the bulbous head really invites some hard wanking, so that the head is fully revealed for us. Eyes close Anton continues to wank his cock and pull on his balls. Then he removes the jeans and shows his hairy legs as well. He works that cock very well indeed, keeping it rock hard. Then he lifts a leg so we can see his ass, and what a hairy one it is too. A nice dark haired crack comes into view as his feet rub against each other. Anton then kneels on the bed, his big cock sticking out, proudly. Then he turns, on his knees and bends over to show us his hole. His cock is pushed back between his legs as we watch, before he turns around again and continues his wankfest. Anton lays on his back next, and lifts both legs up so that his ass hole is fully exposed to us. He rubs his hand over the hole and pulls on the balls some more. Having kept his big cock hard for so long Anton is very keen to blow his load. So he stands up and wanks himself to completion, the cum shooting out of his cock and landing on the floor. To finish a very fine video Anton moves to the shower to clean up.
Jan Koreny is aged 19 and lives in Prague. He is a student who enjoys sports, particularly football. What a handsome guy he is, looking a complete picture as he poses in his very colorful shirt. But the shirt is soon open, and off, revealing a very nice chest. Just as good is when the jeans come down revealing an awesome cock too. That cock is a good size and looks magnificent when fully aroused. Jan doesn't stint though on what he shows and is more than willing to give us some great views of his ass and his hairy crack with its tight little hole. All in all this is a really good shoot with Jan, which has greatley whetted my appetite for his erotic video.

I love this.
Thank you.
Not sure on the rules for this thread, I hope this doesn't violate some accepted standard.
oh the ones I can see (stupid work computer) these images are great! You all have some talent with PS!
I'll try and look at some more when I get off work. Love this thread!
Who loves a TOS communicator, eh?

From http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=206029:
It was an exercise in teaching myself how to do this stuff in GIMP. I would have liked to have worked a little more on certain problem areas, such as Picard's head, but I had to call time.
I really tried to get the colors to look as TOS-y as I could. I hope I succeeded.

Improvement? Worf just looks so grumpy there I couldn't resist.
A Worf.... with breasts?
If you had time, would've been funny just to make them all Klingon with original faces.
Not sure if I have the chops for that, but I might give it a go.
The source image is here.
Please use that!
I disagree, while you could do that what yousirname has already done is much funnier. Especially Worf with breasts
Here's my TNG uniform recolor, based on the Yamato 2199 uniform colors (green for navigation, orange for engineering, gray/black for security). I stuck to Trek canon colors for Command and Medical because I have no idea what colors those would be, because the Yamato people in those positions don't actually wear standard uniforms. I'm not really satisfied with Worf's recolor though - I wanted it to be a darker gray, closer to the black that Yamato marines/security use, but Photoshop wouldn't let me do it.

Officials say three black men disguised themselves as white police officers with lifelike masks to rob a New York City check-cashing store of $200,000.
"They wore lifelike, custom-made, Hollywood-style special-effects masks that made them look like a team of white men," prosecutor Maria Cruz-Melendez said at the suspects' trial in Brooklyn federal court Tuesday.
Witnesses testified how the alleged thieves fooled them with the get-ups to rob the Pay-O-Matic in Queens in February 2012, according to the New York Post.
Prosecutors say the trio planned the heist for two months, theorizing that concealing their race would help them avoid detection.
They say the men got their masks from CFX Composite Effects, paying $2,000. The special-effects company has done work on such movies as "Wolverine."
According to the Post, police were led to them after one of the suspects emailed the company to say he was "extremely pleased by CFX work on the mask."
Officials said the robbers apparently were inspired by the 2010 Ben Affleck movie "The Town" in which the robbers wear masks and police uniforms.

I just finished the code to display the health bars in my current
project (a squad-level, turn-based strategy game - currently in
month 2 of a 2 year dev cycle).
Written with VC++ 6.0 and DirectX 7.0. You'll need DX 7 to have
to run this (sorry I haven't included a DX version check/update
Pretty simple right now. You control the health with the up (more
health) and down (less health) arrows. The color of the health
bar changes as the health increases or decreases, reprenting the
overall health status a little better. Of course, in the final game
the health will be controlled by the troopers combat results, the
arrow key is just used for debugging right now.
All the graphics were done in POV-Ray (version 3.1), which is a
great freeware ray-tracer written in C/C++.
Oh, and I realize that the health bar is REALLY big compared to
the trooper (robot, in this case). This is VERY early alpha artwork.
The health bar will be reduced to a more realistic size in it's next
(actual Alpha) incarnation.

There are problems with the lights.....and they were obviously NOT DESIGNED OR CONSTRUCTED BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS OR IS AN EXPERT IN TENNIS COURTS:
1. The lights on the four SE and SW are on SHORT poles. This creates overly strong light spots on the courts with shadow spots in between. When a high-speed tennis ball flies through light and dark areas it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to play--it's like a strobe light where the ball disappears). This is a "hack" light job.
I wonder (hopefully) if this can be corrected in the future (when there is later funding) by installing additional height to the poles!?!
2. The only decent lighting is on the two older NE courts because they have an additional light pole in the middle (giving four additional lamps of light).
HOWEVER, currently, the middle court light on the NE is NOT working at all. This needs to be fixed!
3. As previously, there's a timer on the lights that prevents them from coming on until a certain time period (when its dark-ish and until 10 PM) However, currently, the timer is not set correctly and the lights don't come on until 8:20 PM. but this is after the courts are already too dim at 8:00 PM........so many players leave beforehand without even knowing that the lights will come on.
Otherwise, THANK YOU to the school, Sandusky, and city for the additional courts and lights.
(Even though they are very primitive courts constructed to the poorest standards as to drainage, fencing, spacing, etc..)
I am very happy that the extra two courts exist at all (with the bad economy and tight school budget).
Also, thanks for Coach Frank for his extensive time and effort.
Tennis is a great (and relatively inexpensive) sport and exercise for students and the general public. Too bad to have such sub-standard courts for the citizens of such an up-scale area.
Everyone should understand that, by only having 8 courts (on all local high schools now), that limits the size of school tennis programs and the training of student players, including the development of younger players prior to making it onto the varsity teams (boys & girls).
For years SRV HS, was at an even greater disadvantage than the other local High Schools become of only having 6 courts, so at least that inequity has been addressed.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty will deliver his eighth and final State of the State speech Thursday morning.
It will be the sixth state of the state he has given with the state facing a budget deficit. The state's ongoing budget problems have deeply divided the Republican governor and the Democrats who control the Legislature.
There's little evidence the two sides are likely to reach an agreement this year.
Here's a pop quiz for you: Do you remember the last time Governor Pawlenty and legislative leaders had a handshake agreement? If you're not sure, you're not alone. Democrats say it was a budget deal reached in May 2008.
The governor disagrees; he says it was last year.
"We reached agreement last year, on all of the major bills except the tax bill," Pawlenty said. "So there's 10 or 12 bills. I signed them all with the exception of their proposals to raise taxes."
Without a tax bill, of course, there was no agreement on the budget, which is why Pawlenty had to use what's called unallotment to unilaterally cut $2.7 billion from the spending bills he signed. Democrats joined a lawsuit against those cuts and the the Minnesota Supreme Court will hear arguments in March.
The disagreement over the last time they agreed is a sign of the times at the Capitol. Over the past eight years, there have been three special sessions: two on the budget, the first partial government shutdown in the state's history, and three instances where Pawlenty has used unallotment.
The governor has said the state budget can't continue to climb on autopilot, but Democrats blame Pawlenty for the gridlock.
"That has unfortunately been the history here that the governor has seemed to draw a bright line in the sand that he's unwilling to cross. It's hard to find compromise that way," said House Majority Leader Tony Sertich, DFL-Chisholm.
Sertich said Pawlenty has been unwilling to compromise on the budget. Democrats have pushed a variety of tax increases over the years but Pawlenty has mostly resisted those efforts. The one exception was in 2005 when Pawlenty proposed a 75-cent-per-pack fee on cigarettes to help balance the budget.
Sertich said the governor's leadership style invites gridlock.
"I don't think it's really it's the governor's style to have a handshake and to compromise," he said. "Generally his style is the Legislature will do a lot of work and compromise amongst ourselves and then he sits on the sidelines until the end and gives a thumbs up or a thumbs down."
The dynamic is setting up for another logjam this year. Minnesota faces a $1.2 billion budget deficit and Pawlenty has again ruled out a tax increase to solve the problem.
Democrats argue that spending cuts should be considered but are skeptical the shortfall can be erased without new revenue. Mix in a possible presidential run by Pawlenty and several lawmakers with their eyes on the governor's mansion, and the possibility for agreement gets more difficult.
Republican Rep Kurt Zellers, who is in his first year as House Minority Leader, said part of the problem is that Republicans and Democrats have core philosophical differences on the budget.
"The end-of-the-game fight of whether we raise taxes or whether we don't, I think that's going to be there all of the time," Zellers said. "It always has been in the time that I've been here. In the past, maybe it was fees versus taxes but when you look at the budget deficit and you see 70 percent of it comes from personal income, I don't know who you can go to and say 'give me more money.'"
Zellers is careful to mention that he believes the budget solution should not include a tax increase.
State Sen. Steve Dille, R-Dassel, a veteran of the Legislature for nearly 24 years, said it hasn't always been this way. He said the partisanship at the Capitol is the worst he's ever seen it, and that things have gotten more partisan during Pawlenty's eight years in office and worries it will continue.
"The future can be predicted partly by what history tells us, and history has not been very indicative of a cooperative relationship between the two parties under the Pawlenty Administration," Dille said. "I would say that using the past as an indicator, the future for the next few months and the rest of this year will be like it was in the past, fairly partisan and very difficult to reach consensus and reach final solutions."
Dille doesn't have a solution about how to end the partisanship, and he's not going to try anymore. He's retiring after this year.

Mitchell set to announce plan for 2013-14
North Texas plans to hold a press conference in the next few days, when Tony Mitchell will announce whether he will return to school for his junior season or declare for the NBA draft.
UNT coach Tony Benford said that the school is in the process of setting up a time and date.
Mitchell has several options. The 6-foot-8-inch forward could declare for the draft and announce that he will not return to UNT; declare for the draft while leaving open the possibility that he will remove his name from the draft after being evaluated by NBA officials; or announce that he will return for another year with the Mean Green without entering the draft.
Mitchell maintained throughout his sophomore year that he would consider his options at the conclusion of the season.
"Coach, my family and I will sit down and talk about it," Mitchell said following a season-ending loss to Louisiana-Lafayette in the Sun Belt Conference tournament.
Multiple sources close to Mitchell said that those discussions have been taking place since late this week. The early entry deadline for the draft is April 28; the withdrawal deadline is June 17.
Mitchell has averaged 13.7 points and 9.3 rebounds while playing in 55 games over two seasons at UNT.
Most draft projections have Mitchell slated to be selected in the first round, despite a tough sophomore season for the former Dallas Pinkston standout. Mitchell was named to multiple preseason All-America teams last summer, but in the end he only made the All-Sun Belt second team.
Mitchell saw his scoring and rebounding numbers drop from his freshman year while playing under Benford, who led UNT to a 12-20 record in his first season as UNT's head coach.
Mitchell averaged 14.7 points and 10.3 rebounds as a freshman, when he played in just 23 games under former coach Johnny Jones after becoming eligible at the semester break. Mitchell failed to meet NCAA eligibility requirements after signing with Missouri and enrolled at UNT on Jan. 26, 2011.
Mitchell spent nearly a year at UNT taking classes before becoming eligible at the start of the spring 2012 semester. Despite not being able to practice until he became eligible and missing the first nine games of the season, Mitchell was named the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year in addition to being a first-team all-league pick.
Mitchell briefly considered declaring for the NBA draft before electing to return to UNT. Jones left to take over at LSU after Mitchell decided to return to Denton.
Mitchell participated in the Amare Stoudemire and LeBron James skills academies for top NBA prospects after his freshman season and was expected to improve dramatically as a sophomore.
Mitchell was brilliant at times and disappeared at others.
He scored 29 points and grabbed 15 rebounds against Troy but went scoreless while taking just three shots in a loss to Florida International.
UNT struggled along with Mitchell and finished fourth in the five-team Sun Belt West Division after being a unanimous pick to win the division in the league's preseason coaches poll.
UNT had hoped to turn its season around in the Sun Belt tournament but was blown out 77-55 in the first round by ULL.
Mitchell took just seven shots in that game and finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
He averaged 13.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game as a sophomore while playing for a team that lost three key players to season-ending injuries: forward Justin Patton and top 3-point threats Brandan Walton and Jacob Holmen.
While Mitchell has played only 55 games for UNT, he has left his mark on the program.
Mitchell has blocked 157 shots in his career, shattering the school record of 119 set by Jeffrey Simpson from 2004-06. He also has the top two single-season totals for blocks at 70 and 87, his total this year.
Mitchell will announce in the next few days whether he will return to build on those totals and leave UNT for the NBA after two seasons.
BRETT VITO can be reached at 940-566-6870. His e-mail address is email@example.com .

MRI to Detect Wobbler Syndrome? (AAEP 2011)
- Mar 12, 2012
- Topics:
In most cases--if not all--a clearer picture is better. One would be hard-pressed to find a person who would walk into a store and ask for a television with a fuzzy picture. So when it comes to disease diagnosis, such as that for cervical stenotic myelopathy (CSM, also known as cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy), wouldn't a clearer picture that reveals more information be beneficial? One University of Kentucky researcher thinks so.
During a presentation at the 2011 American Association of Equine Practitioners convention, held Nov. 18-22 in San Antonio, Texas, Jennifer Janes, DVM, presented a study supporting the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing spinal cord compression and CSM (more commonly known as wobbler syndrome).
Spinal cord compression due to misaligned or malformed vertebrae damages spinal cord nerves responsible for the horse being able to sense the position of his limbs. This leads to clumsiness and incoordination, especially in the hind limbs, and the distinctive "wobble."
Traditionally, cervical stenotic myelopathy has been diagnosed via standing cervical radiographs and/or a myelogram in association with clinical history and neurologic deficits on physical exam. But while standing cervical radiographs and myelography can detect narrowing of the vertebral canal, they limit visualization of the spinal canal to two dimensions from the side.
Conversely, MRI allows for spinal canal assessment in three dimensions, as well as an evaluation of both soft tissue and bone structures, Janes noted.
To compare the efficacy of current diagnostic imaging techniques with the potential effectiveness of MRI in confirming spinal cord compression, Janes et al. studied 20 Thoroughbred horses with CSM ranging in age from 6 months to about 4 years old, and nine control horses ranging in age from 6 months to about 5½ years old.
All of the horses underwent a neurologic examination and standing cervical radiographs. The researchers calculated sagittal (i.e., space from front to back) ratios from the third to seventh cervical vertebrae (C3 to C7) on the radiographs. Postmortem, they scanned each horse's intact cervical column using an MRI unit. Finally, the team performed a histologic examination of each spinal cord to definitively localize compression sites.
After reviewing the results, Janes concluded that "MRI, with its ability to visualize the vertebral anatomy in three dimensions, allows for valuable additional measurements of the vertebral canal. For example, vertebral canal area and circumference among other parameters can be evaluated at each cervical vertebral joint. Specifically, canal area was found to more accurately identify sites of compression in CSM horses."
Janes noted, of course, that today's MRI machines are not yet large enough to evaluate the entire length of cervical columns in live adult horses (antemortem).
