There are some basic things and that all politicians can agree on, like protecting women against violence and providing our children with a good education, right? Wrong.
Recently we have seen two vivid examples of 'politics as usual' at its worst in both Washington and Columbia. The victims were women and children and the perpetrators were mostly Republicans.
Politicians of both parties love to talk. And they do talk on and on, about all the good things they are for - of course they are for good jobs, lower taxes, better schools, cleaner air, safer streets, the list goes on and on. Have you ever heard a politicians say they are against any of these things?
But to clearly understand what they are really all about, you have to look at what they do and not listen to what they say. And it seems that the whole legislative process of setting priorities, writing bills, voting on amendments and such is designed to hide what politicians really do. The system enables them to say they support something while they do just the opposite.
First, Washington and women. Back in 1994, South Carolina's Sen. Ernest Hollings and then Sen. Joe Biden wrote and passed a landmark piece of legislation called the Violence Against Women Act. It did all sorts of good things but essentially it was the most far reaching legislation ever passed to effectively deal with the issues of domestic violence and sexual abuse against women. It is generally agreed that this was good legislation and it has been effective in combatting violence and thus it has been extended by Congress every few years when it came up for renewal. It was simply the right thing to do.
But not this year. Since the bill was originally written in 1994, it has become clear that the legislation needed to be amended by including protection for undocumented immigrants, Native Americans, GLBT victims and abuses of mail order brides from overseas. Yes, abuse of mail order brides has become a huge problem with tens of thousands of women, mostly from Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America, lured to the US with promises of marriage and once they get here they are essentially enslaved, abused and sold into the underground sex trade. It's awful to even think about, but it's a real problems and its growing very fast.
Well, the majority of Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives wanted to strip out these new provisions and the majority of Democrats refused to do along and the result was that the legislation simply expired - the whole law is no longer in force and all the needed services it provided will end.
And what of our South Carolina delegation? Sadly, all the Republicans in both the House and the Senate refused to support the stronger bill - despite the fact that our state ranks second in the nation in the number of women killed by men.
We can't know what was in the minds and hearts of those who opposed this legislation but if you listen to what they said, it was all political gobbled gook about some 'technical amendments' and 'administrative issues' with the Immigration Service. But we do know this - the legislation has expired and vital help and protection for hundreds of thousands of threatened and abused women is no longer available.
Another 'politics as usual' tactic was on display this week by the Republicans in the state Legislature. When they held a big news conference to announce their legislative priorities for the year, they simply left out anything to improve education. They talked about lowering taxes, fixing the cyber-security system and ethics reform but education - nothing. Not one word. (Check out Speaker Bobby Harrell's full statement on his website.)
They would never in a million years say they opposed fixing our broken education system, it just that this year they have 'other priorities'…and our children continue to suffer, condemned to another year in our failing education system.
This is politics as usual; this is how it works. Now Democrats can be just a guilty of this same sort of thing as Republicans, but on these issues, it was the Republicans that did in our women and children with the tactics of politics as usual.
Politicians are great at telling us all the wonderful things they are for - but from Washington to Columbia, the Republican's double speak and priority setting has had the same results: Our women and children were left to fend for themselves.

Four years ago, controversial Rev. James Meeks skewered mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel, saying he wasn't out for the best interests of black voters.
"Ask any African-American leaders about that. They will tell you he had a role in keeping African-Americans out of the White House. All of the sudden, he sails into town, into African-American communities with all of this great stuff he's going to do for us," Meeks said during a talk show on WVON-AM 1690 at the time. "Your proof is in your track record. If he's never done anything for African-Americans, wake up people. What would make us think he's going to sail into town and start doing things for us now?"

TV Home / Entertainment Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
Once upon a time, Alicia Witt played a quick-witted sarcastic teen on a sitcom (it was "Cybill," in case you weren't a regular viewer), and lord knows there are plenty of young actresses who have been pigeonholed as that kind of character for the rest of their careers. Fortunately, however, when your resume already features a couple of appearances in David Lynch productions, it's surprisingly easy for people in the business to take you seriously. Witt's career has taken her to a number of diverse projects over the years, including a slasher film ("Urban Legend"), a Hugh Grant rom-com ("Two Weeks Notice"), and work with notable directors like Alison Anders, Cameron Crowe, and John Waters. Now, she's found her way into a stint on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and Bullz-Eye had the opportunity to discuss her new gig, along with her theatrical work, her appearance on "The Sopranos," her forays into working behind the camera, and her soon-to-be-released film with Al Pacino.
Bullz-Eye: Hello?
Alicia Witt: Hey, is that Will?
BE: Yes, it is.
AW: Hey, it's Alicia!
BE: Hey, how are you?
AW: I am really good. How are you?
BE: Very good. It's a pleasure to speak with you.
AW: You, too.
BE: Actually, we met for about two minutes at the TCA press tour, at the NBC party.
AW: Oh, okay. Cool!
BE: I came up and praised you for "Mr. Holland's Opus," and you, uh, gave me a look like you were surprised that I brought that up.
AW: Oh, well. (apologetically) I appreciate it!
BE: No problem. I have not actually gotten a copy of your first episode of "Criminal Intent," but I have talked to Eric Bogosian, and he's praising you already.
AW: (laughs)He's awesome. I adore him.
BE: The first two words he used to describe you were "fascinating" and "feisty."
AW: Aw! I like that. I like that so much. He's lovely; he's just such a pleasure. We don't get to work together often enough.
BE: He said that he and Chris Noth are getting old, and it's nice to have new blood on the set…and that you don't suffer fools gladly when it comes to doing stuff that you don't want to do.
AW: That's exactly true.
BE: So what was…
AW: I'm sorry. Excuse me for just a second, I have a delivery. (Vanishes from the line, then reappears a few moments later.) Sorry!
BE: No problem. So what was the path that led you to "Law & Order?" Had you been a fan of the show and kept your feelers out, or were you just approached out of the blue?
AW: It totally came out of the blue. I was not expecting this. I was up in Williamstown doing a play, and I was just saying to all of my new friends, who are all these great New York actors that I was working with, and I was just saying, "You know, I could really do with spending some time in New York. It's been a while, and I love it there, and I think this could be fun." The call truly did come out of the blue; I had no idea I was even being considered for this, and here I am. I am loving being in New York.
BE: Well, when I had talked to you before, you hadn't even started filming yet. How's it going so far?
AW: It is going great. It's kind of an unbelievably perfect job, which is a little bit ridiculous because I just get to step in. I'm the lead detective on six episodes only. There's no commitment, there's no strings attached. She is a great character; she's not afraid to say exactly what she thinks and doesn't worry about following protocol and is very tough and very smart and also has a great sense of humor, I think. She is a lot of fun to play. She doesn't dress conventionally for a detective, she's a little funky, and she's got two small kids at home as well, which adds a little color to her. And then the other great thing about it is that, as you probably know, we alternate cast, so in one episode it will be Vince and Katie, and then the next episode it will be me and Chris. So that means that we work the hardest, longest hours I have ever worked in anything, but only for, like, 10 days, and then we get 10 days off. So, for me, that's just perfect. I mean, I am getting to have the experience of living here and getting to know the city and working on my music and all of that, and, then, when I'm working, I don't really have time to do anything else. Which is good, because on a film set, there is…it's a lot more relaxed, a lot less hectic, usually, but there is also a lot more downtime, a lot more waiting around in between scenes.
BE: Actually, I was going to say, you haven't really been a regular on a T.V. series, even in a short stint like this, since "Cybil," I guess…and never, really, in a procedural drama.
AW: No, I have never done this before. I am definitely not interested in being a regular on a series, so this is perfect for me.
BE: Did it take you long to get into the groove, or did you just kind of jump in head first and see where it was going to take you?
AW: Just like my character, I jumped in head first. I didn't really know anything about the show, and I didn't really make an effort to. I mean, I saw a little bit of a couple of episodes from last season, but I didn't really feel the need to familiarize myself with the whole way that it works because I figured (my character) is coming into it fresh, and it just made more sense this way.
BE: Were you a "Law & Order" fan to begin with?
AW: Not especially. I mean, I liked the show whenever I watched it, but I'm not a T.V. watcher in general. I just don't watch shows; I'm more into film or theater. When I happen to catch something, I'll watch it if it gets my attention, and I always liked "Law & Order" because of the fact that it's one of the rare shows that a non-regular T.V. watcher like me can actually enjoy, because you don't have to know the whole history of the characters. It's written in a very clever way, so that if you do watch the entire series, or the whole season, you get a richer experience because they stick little bits of who the people are, the detectives are in the story, but the primary focus is that particular case. It's always a whodunit, and it's solved within the hour, so that makes it fun to watch.
BE: Well, I know of your T.V. viewing that you're a "Sopranos" fan because when I did meet you, you immediately clamped your hands over your ears because you had not yet watched the series finale.
AW: Yeah, I have watched it now. I went home and I watched it on my TiVo before I came out to New York. I loved it. I thought it was great. It was so mysterious.
BE: Do you find a lot of people remember you fondly from your episode on the show? I mean, it wasn't like it was long stint or anything – it was just one episode – but still it was a, uh, very memorable show.
AW: I do hear about that a lot. Yeah, thank you, I loved that. I based her on so many annoying female producers that I worked with. Well, one female producer that I worked with, and a couple that I just knew from auditions and word of mouth. The great part about it was that, after the episode came out, I would have meetings, and everyone in the business would claim to know who the character had been based on, and it was always someone different.
BE: I won't ask you to call out the person you were inspired by.
AW: Oh, and I won't tell you.
BE: Fair enough. I did want to ask you about some of the other projects you have worked on, though. "Belinda's Swan Song," actually, in particular, I wanted to ask you about. I figured that was pretty close to your heart.
AW: Oh, definitely. My directorial debut.
BE: What was that like? Had you ever really done any directing, or had you gone to film school at all?
AW: No. Everything I know about directing I have learned on the job, so I never went to film school. I learned so much about the way films work and, of course, the post production process, which I had never been a part of before, that was amazing; that was so much fun. And it played at 11 festivals, so that was pretty cool. I got to see it a couple of them, most of them due to work, but, yeah, it was all over the place.
BE: I know you also had a lot of hand in "Girls' Lunch" as well.
AW: Well, I wrote that one, and I acted in it. That was a lot of fun. I'm working on a full length feature right now.
BE: I was just getting ready to ask that.
AW: I've been working on that this year, but I'm also spending a lot of my time writing and singing songs, so the script has kind of taken a back seat at the moment. I am actually going to sing an original song, for the very first time, with a friend of mine, who I co-wrote it with, on Wednesday night. So that is pretty fun, and I'm working on a couple of gigs as well on my own.
BE: Are your hands shaking yet? Are you nervous?
AW: You know, I'm actually not nervous. We spent the entire weekend working on it. We only wrote it this past week, so before this stint I was a little nervous, because the truth is, we barely know this song, even though we created it. But we spent about eight hours Saturday and two hours yesterday, and we could sing that song in our sleep right now. I just can't wait; I'm excited. We played it for a friend of ours – who's the first person ever to hear it – yesterday, and it made her cry. She was sitting on my couch crying, I was blown away; I was so happy. She's not even a musician; she's just someone who likes music, so that was good.
BE: I read about how you had done "Piano Forte," and, basically, they intended to spotlight your piano skills.
AW: Yeah, it was written for me and this other girl, and my character in that was an agoraphobic, classical, piano playing, stammering British girl. She basically has this speech impediment that makes it very difficult for her to communicate, but she is very good at expressing herself through her music. It was a great, great, great experience. I got to do a British accent, and I was the only non-Brit. in the cast, and I always had great fun coming off stage and going to the bar afterwards. Also, my character was very, very frumpy. She never left the house, so she dressed like some Victorian era prude with long, brown tweed skirts that didn't fit right and huge baggy men's sweaters…all that stuff. She was quite a character. I loved, loved, loved playing her. Then I would go down into the Royal Court bar and have my cute skirt and boots on, and my American accent, and people would be, like, "Were you in the play?" It was fun.
BE: I'll just throw out a couple other projects you worked on, if you could just offer maybe a one-liner about your experience on them. "Twin Peaks"?
AW: Um…I mean, it was great. I don't know about one line, but, yeah, it was great. It was one day's work; it was David Lynch writing a part for me because I had just moved out to L.A. and he wanted to help me get a head start.
BE: I know you worked with him later on his HBO series as well.
AW: Yeah, but he was the first person I ever worked with, in "Dune," which is why we worked together on "Twin Peaks" and "Hotel Room."
BE: Do you still stay in touch with him?
AW: I haven't spoken to him in a long time. But I also…before I go, I want to make sure we talk about "88 Minutes," which is coming out.
BE: Yeah, I was going to ask that, about working with Pacino, and if it had a stateside release set yet.
AW: Yeah, Feb. 28, through Sony Screen Gems. So it is coming out on wide release in February, and I'm really proud of it. It's kind of ridiculous to be able to say that I'm actually opposite Al Pacino, but…
BE: What was it like working with him?
AW: It was such a dream come true. It couldn't have been any better. I mean, you could image how potentially nerve-wracking that is, and it's hard to forget that you are actually working opposite one of the greatest, if not the greatest, film actors ever, but he made it great and not intimidating; to the point where I sort of feel like…when I first saw clips from it, I was a bit little taken aback, because it was as though I had forgotten who I was actually working with. Because I knew him more as this great and warm and lovely actor that I got to spend two months with, and I sort of stopped seeing him as Al Pacino. Then I went into the sound studio to do some looping on it and I was…I remember seeing a scene with the two of us for the first time, and I was, like, "Wait a minute, that's me and Al Pacino! That doesn't make any sense!" (laughs) He was so nice, though. It was a very special experience to work with someone that I had always admired that much and then to come away from it and admire him even more; not to be disillusioned in any way, that he is every bit as wonderful in person as he is at his craft, so that was great.
BE: Well, I know you've got a schedule, so I guess I'll just close by saying that I went online to do a little research before talking to you, I searched your name on Yahoo, and it thoughtfully suggested that I try "Alicia Witt hot."
AW: (laughing) No way! I like that. There are worst words that could be put right next to your name in a Google search.
BE: I was going to say, is that weirdly flattering or just weird?
AW: I don't think it's weird at all. I think it's awesome. I'm not going to complain. That's really nice, I didn't know that. That's kind of funny.
BE: Yeah, I just put in your name, and it came up with the IMDb listing, but at the very top it says, "Alsotry 'alicia witt hot.'"
AW: And did you?
BE: You know, I did. And it came up with a fan site. So, apparently, someone has a fan site solely because they think you're hot…and who could argue with that, really?
AW: That's lovely. Thank you.
BE: Well, it has been a pleasure talking to you, and I'm looking forward to checking out the show and your premiere.
AW: Thank you so much. Nice talking to you.
BE: I hope the rest of the stint on there goes well.
AW: Thank you.

The Obama administration and some of the nation's biggest providers of Internet services have settled their dispute over how much the companies can reveal about requests for customer information from US intelligence agencies, according to court documents filed on Monday.
The settlement will likely resolve a lawsuit against the government brought by Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Microsoft, and LinkedIn. They wanted authority to disclose more specific information about how often the FBI and NSA sought data on their users.
"Permitting disclosure of this aggregate data addresses an important area of concern to communications providers and the public. But more work remains on other issues. In the weeks ahead, additional steps must be taken in order to fully implement the reforms directed by the President," said Attorney General Eric Holder and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in a joint statement.
NSA leaker Edward Snowden went on the record from his hiding place in Russia during a web-based question and answer session.
The companies went to court soon after the first stories were published last spring based on material stolen by Edward Snowden detailing the government's efforts to get information about e-mail users.
The companies said they were eager to demonstrate that they were not simply handing over user data in a wholesale manner. But because the intelligence agency requests were classified, they were barred from doing so.
Yahoo said its inability to respond "harmed its reputation and has undermined its business not only in the United States but worldwide."
Under the agreement, the companies — and other Internet service providers that did not join the lawsuit — will be able to report in rough numbers how often intelligence agencies ask them for information, broken down by category, and how many customers are affected.
The companies can separately report the number of national security demands from the FBI and orders from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court they receive. They can disclose how many were for actual e-mail content, and they can also reveal the number of customer accounts affected.
But for all those categories, the companies cannot report specific figures. Instead, they can only disclose how many thousands of requests they get — from zero to 999, 1000 to 1999, and so on.
New documents from Edward Snowden show that the NSA tracks where billions of cellphone calls are made worldwide; however, the NSA says it doesn't collect such data on domestic calls. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
If the companies instead lump together all the intelligence requests into a single category, they can report them in finer detail — from zero to 250, 215 to 500, and so on.
Under the agreement, the companies must wait at least six months before disclosing any information about the intelligence requests.
An administration official said the president and representatives of the companies reached a tentative agreement 10 days ago, despite resistance from the intelligence community.
The result is a compromise between the companies, which sought to be as specific as possible, and the intelligence agencies, which fearing that the disclosures would reveal too much about their operations.

The Monday jump-start: Food for thought
The chicks are doing well, although one of the smallest got a little water from an eye dropper a few times because I wasn't sure she was going to make it. Today, she looks better. And I swear they all look so much bigger after just 48 hours that I'm bringing in a second crate and dividing them up so they have more room to grow.
Things I've run across and meant to mention:
Paul Greenberg opines in the New York Times about how the death of his cat was a sad event but a good one for the environment. Why? Because cats eat a lot of the world's fish — 10 percent. Who eats the other 90, you ask? Well, Mr. Greenberg and the rest of us.
For me, this "pet's carbon pawprint" stuff is pretty ridiculous. When cats start driving SUVs, tossing tons and tons of unnecessary package into landfills, build coal-fired power plants to keep the AC at 68 and buy high-energy use flat-screen TVS, well, then we'll talk.
Until then, Mr. Greenberg, if you want to see what's killing the planet, look in the mirror. It wasn't Coco. It's you, me and all of us.
This reminds me of all the cat-haters that go on about songbirds, while living in gated communities carved out of habitat and built from wood that came from clear-cutting.
Can you have a more eco-friendly pet? Sure you can! But honestly, we'd do better by the planet by having fewer children than fussing about cats. (But if you say that, as Mother Earth News did recently, you'd better better put on your flame suit and be prepared for a wave of righteous anger and cancellations!)
BADRAP gets a chance next month to question PETA mouthpiece Daphna Nachminovitch about PETA's "we must kill them to save them" stand on pit bulls. … Yes, Biscuit has had good stuff lately, including a Georgia fight bust where the dogs were determined with a glance to be irredeemable killers. … Dead dogs are so much easier to raise money with, anyway, dryly notes Lassie Get Help. Michael Vick? Vick dogs? Never heard of 'em. … More people are asking to join the HSUS suit against Petland. Look, I'm all for the HSUS going all out against puppy mills. This is what they should be doing. But part of me still wonders why they didn't suit up their lawyers during the pet food recall and jump on Menu Foods. … My parrot hates me. Oh, right, it must be spring. Best in Flock reports. Parrots are as bad as toddlers … no, worse, because parrots never outgrow the Terrible Twos. …
More crap from the pushers of pet extinction. After forced spay-neuter failed statewide last year (although it has been re-introduced, as SB 250 in CA), it was duly installed as the law in LaLaLand. This may actually turn out to be a good thing, because the L.A. Department of Animal Services is proving just how bad these laws can be. The department shut down its spay-neuter clinics, which target exactly the people who need financial help to get their animal fixed. No-kill flamethrower Nathan Winograd has an understandable cow:
Los Angeles Animal Services (LAAS) General Manager Ed Boks made headlines in his support last year of Assembly Bill 1634, California's mandatory spay/neuter bill when he admitted that the legislation was more about expanding the bureaucratic power of animal control than saving animals. During a legislative hearing, a Senator asked Ed Boks, the General Manager of Los Angeles Animal Services (LAAS) and one of the bill's chief proponents: "Mr. Boks, this bill doesn't even pretend to be about saving animals, does it?†To which Boks responded: "No Senator, this is not about saving dogs and cats.â€
Not content to wait for the state (which did not pass the measure), Boks convinced the City of Los Angeles to pass its own version. He also demanded more officers to enforce it. The end result was predictable. Almost immediately, LAAS officers threatened poor people with citations if they did not turn over the pets to be killed at LAAS, and that is exactly what occurred. For the first time in a decade, impounds and killing increased—dog deaths increased 24%, while cat deaths increased 35%. In the process, he also fed the backyard breeding market for more (unaltered) animals.
Now, Boks is adding another insult. As others have reported, he has abolished LAAS' low-cost spay/neuter program, which allowed some poor people to comply with the new law. Despite increasing impounds, Boks has decided that subsidized spay/neuter is expendable.
There's more, you bet, right here. And one of the L.A. pols who sided with Boks on the kill-kill policy is not happy at the latest turn of events:
Canceling the voucher program was . . . a step backward in trying to reach a no-kill policy in this city," said Councilman Tony Cardenas.
No, Mr. Cardenas … installing forced spay-neuter was the step backwards. No-kill is about helping people and sheltering animals, not forcing pet-lovers underground and ramping up seizures and shelter killing. (Here's the councilman's letter to Boks.)
Do you need more reason to contact your elected representatives in Florida, Texas, California and the City of Chicago? Forced spay-neuter is now being framed as a money-saver at a time when governments are hard-hit. Actually, it's a war against the two groups of people the middle-class white donors to animal causes distrust most: Breeders (or "greeders" as they call them, with no distinguishing between a puppy-millers and reputable, ethical person out to protect our heritage breeds) and the lower socio-economic classes, who don't deserve pets at all as far as nanny-staters believe. For the animal-rights "true believers" it's a wink and a nod to the final solution: No domesticated animals at all.
I'm still not buying it: Working together to develop no-kill communities is the way forward, and the flailing and screaming of dying old-school agendas makes that even more clear.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara (9-27, 0-6) dropped the third game of this weekend's three game Big West Conference series with Cal Poly (15-17, 4-2) on Sunday afternoon at Campus Diamond by way of a 5-0 score.
For the second time during the series, Cal Poly pitcher Anna Cahn (10-9) tossed a complete game shutout. She limited UCSB to four hits - double the Gauchos' total from Saturday's second game against the hurler.
The Gauchos had a chance to score early when Jessica Ziegler led-off with a single at the top of the order in the first inning. The senior advanced to third after consecutive groundouts, but Cahn earned the third out to keep UCSB off the scoreboard.
Jessica Beristianos was in scoring position at the bottom of the second and Ziegler reached third base again in the third inning, but both runners were stranded as the game remained scoreless.
The Mustangs finally broke through at the top of the fourth inning. Dana Perez opened the inning with a walk and a sac bunt from Sara Kryza pushed pinch runner Mackenzie Mendonca to second. One walk later, Stephanie Correia hit a single up the middle that sent Mendonca across home plate.
Cal Poly added to its lead in the fifth when Kryza hit a three-run homer over the left field fence to put the Mustangs ahead, 4-0.
In the sixth, the Mustangs tagged one more run onto their total. Correia reached first after earning a walks to lead things off for Cal Poly and Whitley Gerhart hit an infield single to put two runners on-base. During the next at-bat, Kendal Hennings hit the ball to third base where Jessica Beristianos quickly fielded the ball, tagged third and connected with Ziegler at first for the Gauchos' 18th double play of the season. During the ensuing at-bat, Nora Sobczak hit a single to center driving home Gerhard for the final run of the game.
Lindsey Correa (3-10) took the loss for the Gauchos after tossing five innings and allowing four runs on three hits while walking seven and striking out two. Krista Cobb pitched two innings in relief and allowed on run on three hits while walking one and fanning one.
At the plate, Ziegler, Brooke Putich, Beristianos and Katie McWhirter accounted for the Gauchos' four hits.
With the loss, UC Santa Barbara's current losing streak extends to 11 games.
The Gauchos will be back in action next weekend when they head to UC Riverside for a three-game Big West series. The series will start with a Saturday doubleheader at noon on April 17 and conclude with a single noon game the following day.
The series with Cal Poly was part of the Blue-Green Rivalry.
As the Gauchos and Mustangs battle it out on the field, diamond, court, and in the pool, the Big West rivals will seek to make fans and students aware of their campuses' recycling and sustainability efforts. The eco-slant to the rivalry fits the colors of sustainability (blue and green) as well as those of UCSB (blue) and Cal Poly (green).
The Blue-Green Rivalry is based on the results of the 16 common sports that the schools compete in. To see the points system and updated rivalry standings, click here.
The creative angle of using games to promote the campuses' sustainability and recycling efforts is the first of its kind in college athletics. To learn more about sustainability efforts at UCSB, click here.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- Participants in the Business Leadership and Superior Training conference here had the opportunity to examine a working micromarket based on 365 Retail Markets' new SmartHub Micro self-checkout kiosk. BLAST is organized and presented by the National Association of Blind Merchants, a division of the National Federation of the Blind.
"We are proud to be part of an extraordinary show," said 365 Retail Markets founder and chief executive Joseph Hessling. "The response at the NAMA OneShow to our latest edition, the SmartHub Micro, was outstanding, and we plan to continue to share how 365 is building a smarter micromarket in 2013."
The SmartHub Micro has a smaller form factor than traditional kiosks, and weighs only 25 lbs. Its smaller size allows for greater flexibility in placement, as well as reduced cost of entry into the popular self-checkout retailing business. It therefore makes micromarket installations possible in a wider range of locations.
The micromarket was displayed and demonstrated at the Randolph-Sheppard trade show on May 23, the final day of the 2013 BLAST conference.

A Lonely End To A Tragic Tale...
For those of you who have been following my series on the Naramore family and "The Coldbrook Tragedy" which I began for the 97th edition of the Carnival of Genealogy, here is the unmarked grave of family father Frank L. Naramore. Frank died on 04 Mar 1936 and was buried in Hope Cemetery in Worcester, MA on 07 Mar 1936. Frank's grave is a single grave to the right of the memorial plaque with the small metal marker sticking out of the ground. There is no headstone.
Here is another photo of the grave from the opposite direction. This time the grave is to the left of the grave plaque with the metal marker.
Here is another photo, and again Frank's unmarked grave is to the left of the plaque with the metal marker.
This seems to be the classic sad ending to a tragic tale. In 1901 Frank had a wife and six children. In death he was alone. His obituary says he leaves no known relatives. His last address, given in his obituary, is listed as 44 Exchange St. in Worcester which was a rooming house at the time he lived there. My guess is no one knew or cared where he was buried, or has visited his grave since he died in 1936. Perhaps it's an appropriate conclusion to a life poorly led.

Title: Stargazing Dog
Author: Takashi Murakami
Publisher: NBM Publishing
May Contain Spoil
From Amazon:
Translated from the Japanese bestseller, this story centers on Oto-san, a man who finds himself abandoned by his family and friends with nothing in his life happening the way he had planned. He embarks on a road trip to escape it all, and he soon discovers the only one he can count on completely is his faithful, recently adopted dog, who helps him see the light at the end of the tunnel. Illustrating the valuable lessons of friendship and loyalty, this is a heartwarming tale of two endearing characters and their shared adventure into the unknown.
I don't know what exactly I expected from Stargazing Dog, but a sad story of wasted opportunities wasn't anywhere on the list. From the cover, I expected a carefree tale about a man and his dog. It's not. It's a story about a man without goals or the ability to change, and the love he has for his dog, the one constant in his life. Happie provides most of the narrative, and as someone who loves dogs and can't imagine life without my Buu, the deceptively simple language packs a powerful punch. It actually felt like someone stabbed me in the heart a few times as I become totally engrossed in Happie's life with Daddy.
Told in two parts, the first half of the book follows Daddy and Happie from a comfortable life in the suburbs, to divorce, to homelessness. Through it all, Happie stays faithfully by Daddy's side. His whole life revolves around Daddy, and he is over the moon as long as he gets his daily walk and is allowed to spend time with the center of his universe. When Happie first enters Daddy's life as a puppy, the man tolerates the dog and allows his daughter to keep her new pet. As the years slowly pass, the only anchor in Happie's life is Daddy, and Daddy slowly grows fond of the dog. Unconditional love is hard to resist, and Daddy soon succumbs to Happie's worship. As his fortunes decline, Daddy's world begins to revolve around Happie, and soon, the two only have each other. Everything else is gone; sold, stolen, discarded. Just their mutual affection remains, even as life-threatening illnesses and a life on the road take their toll on both of them.
The second half of the book follows Okutsu, a social worker who is trying to uncover the mystery left by Daddy and Happie. Okutsu is a lot like Daddy, except that he lacks one thing that the homeless man still possessed; the blind love and trust of a dog. As Okutsu follows leads to close his case, he is forced to reflect back on his treatment of his dog when he was a child. He wasn't always nice to the dog, and even when he was at his meanest, the dog still accepted him with unwavering devotion. Unconditional love isn't always as easy to return as one would think, and when Okutsu was a boy, he resented his dog for always loving him, no matter how cruel he could be.
This book resonated with me because of the relationship between Daddy and Okutsu and their dogs. Neither one of them is particularly successful in their dealings with other people, but they have learned to form a deep connection with their pets. Even as Okutsu chides his dog for stargazing and staring into the night sky, you can't help but wonder how the lives of both men would have changed if they had been the dreamers and the stargazers. Neither of them seems motivated to become more than they are, and if they didn't have their dogs, they would both be alone, emotionally detached from everyone and everything. Maybe that is what struck me the hardest about this book – the dogs had a fundamental ability to live and love that both men were sadly lacking.

Childrens Bed Centres
Welcome to Childrens Bed Centres website - Thank you for visiting.
We are a family run children's bedroom company with over 45 years' experience in the design and manufacture of bedroom furniture. Specialising in kids cabin beds and children's storage beds, our products are all made here in the UK and designed with three main attributes in mind; practicality, durability and attractiveness.
- Our wooden children's beds are available in a variety of sizes (two widths and three lengths), to suit any bedroom.
- All of our kid's beds and children's bedroom furniture is designed with storage in mind. Children have many clothes, toys and other belongings and we have tried to find clever ways of storing them by incorporating the designs into our kids cabin beds and other children's furniture.
- We use ash hardwood as the framing and support for our kid's beds. Ash has a look of pine but is a hardwood. I.e. where pine would dent if knocked, ash will not as it is much more robust.
- Manufacturing features such as dove-tailed joints on drawers, full length piano hinges on doors and solid bed bases (no more broken slats!) make our children's beds, children's wardrobes and other bedroom furniture last for years to come - ideal for kids throughout their childhood.
- All of our children's beds and kids bedroom furniture is available in a range of colours to suit girls and boys bedrooms; white, natural wood, blue and pink.
- Exciting designs such as kids four poster beds, tent beds and sleepover beds make our children's bedroom furniture very appealing to kids.
We understand the needs of families today, who are often busy (like ourselves!) but who care about their children, want to provide the best for them, and at the same time ensure that they are getting great value for money when choosing kids beds and children's furniture. We have designed a range of children's beds which are loved by children and adults. Kids adore our exciting, beautiful designs and parents love; the value for money our brand represents, the usefulness of the storage and innovative designs, the quality of the furniture which is extremely robust, and the level of service we offer. (Especially the free of charge assembly service!)

Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein came in third place in Heisman Trophy balloting last season, but NFL scouts thought so little of his ability to play quarterback in the NFL that he wasn't even invited to the Senior Bowl. Klein instead went to the East-West Shrine Game, and the reviews of his passing there were not good. So has that convinced Klein to work out at another position at the Scouting Combine?
Nope. Klein says he plans to prove he can play quarterback at the next level.
"I know I can be a thrower first. I'll do whatever it takes to help the team win. But I'm a quarterback," Klein told the Denver Post.
The 6-foot-5, 227-pound Klein began his career at Kansas State playing wide receiver and getting some work on the kick coverage teams, and so he would seem to be a good candidate to play receiver or tight end in the NFL, if pro teams aren't convinced that he's ever going to have an NFL arm. That's not how Klein sees it, however: He's determined to convince at least one NFL team that he can play quarterback.

Power flushing is a safe and clean way to remove dirt and scale from your central heating system; by flushing out debris that has accumulated over time. At 'Aquatek' we use a high flow/low pressure powerflushing pumping system that flushes chemicals through the entire system; leaving you with a clean and fresh heating system.
If you think you may need powerflushing, then there are a few common signs that you should look out for. These include; spots on your radiator/s that do not heat up and remain cold, murky or discoloured water when you bleed your radiators (or in some cases your taps), water unable to heat properly and excessive noises coming from your boiler unit.
Powerflushing has many benefits and can leave your boiler and heating systems running much more efficiently. This means you could end up saving money on your gas bills.
The cost of powerflushing varies depending on the size of your boiler and the quantity of cleansing chemicals that are needed. It is usually on average between £350 and £1200, so it is vital that you are sure it will benefit you before booking powerflushing. However, if your boiler or heating systems is showing signs that it needs powerflushing and you choose to ignore them, it could result in the issue getting much worse.
For more information about powerflushing or to receive a quotation on the cost of powerflushing, please do not hesitate to call 'Aquatek' today on the number shown below.
"I telephoned then and was greeted with a helpful sounding voice. When I told (Steve) my problem, He said would call me back. When Contact next made – reply was that 'am on way'. Within minutes, Chris – one of Steve's colleagues came to our house and had my problem sorted in a couple of minutes. And – at very reasonable cost!"
Mr Glanfield
Aquatek completed works on my property last week and finished the plumbing in the time day allowed, very pleased.
Ms West
Very professional company providing an excellent service. There are cheaper companies but you will not get a prompt and safe service. Highly recommended.
Mr Phipps

The price was very competitive compared to other companies , the engineer knew what he was doing and very tidy as well. I will definitely use them again and recommend to friends and families as well.

N.M. Tech Receives National Designation as Center of Excellence, April 8, 2001
SOCORRO, N.M., April 8, 2002 -- New Mexico Tech recently was designated by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education for academic years 2002 through 2005, joining an elite list of only 36 universities across the country that have ever been awarded this distinction.
A formal presentation recognizing New Mexico Tech's recent NSA certification will be held during the Sixth Annual Conference of the National Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education, on June 4, 2002, at Microsoft Corporation's headquarters in Redmond, Wash.
"Our being named to this select group -- which includes other distinguished universities such as Carnegie-Mellon, Georgia Tech, Purdue, and Stanford -- highlights New Mexico Tech's commitment to education and research in the field of information assurance and information systems security and speaks highly of our university's Information Technology (IT) degree program and related Institute for Complex Additive Systems Analysis (ICASA)," New Mexico Tech President Daniel H. López said.
"In addition, this new designation will assist us in seeking additional federal funding for scholarships and research grants in this critically important area of information assurance," López added.
According to New Mexico Tech computer science professor and department chairman Andrew Sung, there are 10 specific criteria that universities must meet in order to achieve designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education.
"Some of the most important criteria are: attaining or exceeding national standards in the curriculum we offer; having faculty who have expertise with published papers in this area; having sufficient library holdings to support such a program; and having an on-campus research center dedicated to related fields, which in our case is ICASA," Sung pointed out.
"The applications submitted by universities for the designation process are all rigorously reviewed by a national board comprised of representatives from government, industry, and academia," Sung said, "so this is certainly quite an accomplishment for New Mexico Tech, especially when you consider the other schools that we're in the same league with now."
Sung, who was instrumental in drafting the application submitted to the NSA that resulted in Tech's recent designation, is also co-coordinator of the university's IT degree program and a research scientist at ICASA.
"This NSA designation certainly ranks as one of the most significant achievements in my more than 15 years here at Tech's computer science department," Sung relates, "and I'm very grateful to President López and ICASA director and Tech vice president Denny Peterson, as well as [Tech] vice presidents Gerity, Romero, and Fernandez, for having the foresight and employing the strategic planning that made ICASA and the IT program a reality."
The NSA's Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education Program is intended to reduce vulnerabilities in the national information infrastructure by promoting higher education in information assurance and producing a growing number of professionals with information assurance expertise in various disciplines.
In addition to the NSA designation, New Mexico Tech's IT curriculum also was recently certified as compliant for information assurance professionals in federal departments and agencies by the National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Instruction's National Training Standard for INFOSEC Professionals.

Four Super-Students Named Macey ScholarsSOCORRO, N.M. April 30, 2012 – New Mexico Tech has selected four stellar students to be the 2012-2013 William B. and Jean M. Macey Scholars, the university's most prestigious and competitive scholarship.
Laura Montoya, a graduate of Sandia High School, will be a junior in the Chemical Engineering Department with a minor in Explosives Engineering.
Sohaib Soliman of Socorro will be a senior in biology.
Hannah Sullivan, a native of Capitan who was homeschooled for her senior year, will be a senior in the Chemical Engineering Department.
Brian Stanley of Socorro will be a senior in mechanical engineering, with a minor in biology.
Each of the four Macey Scholars said they were surprised to earn the award and honored to be selected.
This year's Macey Scholars have interesting similarities. Both Montoya and Sullivan selected chemical engineering by process of elimination. They both came to Tech undecided about their majors, but both eliminated all other departments before making their choices.
Soliman and Stanley are both Socorro High School graduates whose families have strong ties to the university; and they both started their educational careers as pre-schoolers at the New Mexico Tech Children's Center.
Soliman's father, Dr. Hamdy Soliman, is a professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. His older brother Omar is the Student Regent and his younger brother Moaaz is a junior.
Stanley is a third-generation Techie. His grandfather, both of his parents, his aunt and uncle and his sister all earned degrees at Tech. Also, his sister, Laura Stanley, was a Macey Scholar during the 2010-2011 school year.
Macey Scholars are academic standouts, as well as "super-citizens." They represent the best of and most well-rounded Tech students – brilliant young scientists and engineers who are involved in their communities and give of their time to worthy causes.
"Our 2012-2013 Macey Scholars represent some of our brightest and accomplished students," said Elaine DeBrine Howell, the scholarship committee chair.
The Macey Scholarship is among the most prestigious scholarship awarded at New Mexico Tech. The program is named after 1942 New Mexico Tech graduate William B. Macey. Mr. Macey has been among the biggest supporters of New Mexico Tech over the years, including significant contributors to the Macey Center building fund in the early 1980s and most recently to the new child care center.
"New Mexico Tech is very grateful to the Macey's for their extremely generous support of our outstanding students," said DeBrine Howell. "The selection of the Macey Scholars is always one of the most difficult and most pleasant of duties. We are fortunate to have a number of students who embody the spirit of the Macey Scholar Program."
Macey Scholars are Tech undergraduate students who are U.S. citizens, have completed 30 semester hours and have a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or greater. Qualified students apply for the program, along with nominations from faculty and staff members, employers and research associates nominate students. Those selected as Macey Scholars receive an award of $5,000.
The selections are based upon accomplishments in the classroom, research laboratory, service projects, volunteerism, awards, honors and other activities. Each of the 2012-2013 winners have an impressive resumé, full of research projects, internships, volunteer work and extracurricular activities. They are all well-rounded young scientists and engineers who have marked their careers at Tech with academic achievement, campus involvement and devotion to helping others.

Jets star cornerback Darrelle Revis sounds like he thinks owner Woody Johnson wants to ship him out of town.
In an interview with NFL Network that aired last night, Revis said he is not sure what is going on with rumors the Jets are open to trading him, but he knows if the team does decide to part ways with him, the decision is coming from the owner.
"It starts from the top," Revis said. "It starts from Woody Johnson."
Asked if he believes Johnson does not want to pay him what he wants in a long-term contract, Revis said, "That might be a situation. That might be something."
These were Revis' first comments since reports last month indicated Johnson is open to trading his best player rather than securing him long-term. Revis is scheduled to be a free agent after next season and is believed to be seeking a contract in the neighborhood of $100 million. He is currently training in Arizona, where he is rehabbing from knee surgery.
"I was speechless. I tweeted it out I was speechless," Revis said about hearing the reports. "I was speechless because I didn't get a phone call. I know it's a business. Just call me — don't have it lingering out there. I need answers and I'm not getting any. Just the fact that that was put out there instead of contacting your best player on the team. If that's how you want to do business, then that's fine."
New GM John Idzik did call Revis a short time later.
"He was a straightforward guy," Revis said. "He didn't cut no corners. He just said he don't know. He don't know what's going on … that didn't come from him. Just from talking to him that one conversation, I respect him."
Revis questioned the timing of the report, which broke the night before Idzik's introductory press conference.
"It was, to me, kind of rude because it was John Idzik's first day on the job," Revis said.
Head coach Rex Ryan also called Revis. Ryan has made no secret of his belief that Revis is the best defensive player in football. It would be a crushing blow to the defensive-minded coach to lose Revis.
"Me and Rex got a cool relationship," Revis said. "[The call] wasn't really more so about being traded and things like that. It was other things like, 'How's the family? How you doing?' I know Rex. He wants me to be here. Me and him both know it's a business."
But it won't be Ryan's decision.
"I'm sure he'll have a say-so, but overall, no," Revis said.
The Jets face a very tough decision on Revis. If they pay him what he wants, it could severely hinder their ability to make other moves in the next few years, but he is the best player on the team. The Jets and Revis, along with his agents, have battled through two contract holdouts already. If they trade him and the players they get in return do not pan out, the trade will haunt the franchise for years. If they wait until next offseason, he almost certainly will walk in free agency.
Revis said no one has given him an indication about his future.
"I'm a Jet until they tell me I'm not a Jet," Revis said.
The 27-year-old perennial All-Pro repeated he wants to remain with the team, but understands it's a business.
"If I do get traded, I'm not going to sit here and pout and cry, but I told them numerous times that I want to be there," Revis said. "It's up to them and management and what they want to do."

Communication breakdown
"I love school!"
Information my husband has learned from my son about school:
"I have a 'girl' friend."
"I was the friend of the day yesterday, and I got to hold the flag!"
"We went to the gym today, but we didn't do anything except sit down and stand up to sing O Canada and even the big kids were in the gym and then we went back to our classroom."
"There is a time out chair and I have never had to sit in it, but another boy sits in it all the time"
"I have used the bathroom a few times."
"I worked on my tree craft today."
Yeah... so. I guess I am happy that he is loving kindergarten, but I really would love it if my son told ME all this other stuff! I need a new communication strategy to get him to be more vocal with me!
Any tips, moms?

OK yea Lou... good luck with this one... My kids very rarely talk to me about their days. Sometimes if something really fun happened they will but most of the time its : How was your day?" "Good" and thats all...

I found in JK I had to ask very specific questions. Like who did you play with today. What books did you read. Did you have gym? What did you do in gym? Seems to help them remember that they actually packed a whole lot into that wee day!

I actually wrote a post about this topic awhile back. I try and make a game out of my interogations. Questions such as:
What was the most fun thing in school today?
What was the least fun?
Was anyone bad in school today?
What was your favorite subject today?
You get the point. Try and avoid questions that can be answered with a yes or no. And try and ask them when he is least distracted. I find that bath time works best in my house.

Aren't kids grand? You never know what they will say, when they will say it and who they will say it to..
How about.. Tell me all about your day at school.. What did you do today at school? Have him elaborate on the little things.
Be careful though... My son is 22 and still elaborates on the little things I really don't need to know.

Jake never talked about school much. I ended up asking specific questions, or make it a game where he'd get to ask me a question, then I'd ask him one.
Sometimes I'd ask what his favorite center is and why, or if he has a special friend, etc.

I make something up, like "how was playing with the kitchen at school today?" Then he will stop and think and say, "I didn't play with the kitchen." and then I say, "oh, yeah, today you went to the library" and he will say, "no today, we throwed up and down bean bags in the gym."
I also ask specific prompts, who sat beside you at snack today. What station did you work at today? Did you play on the structure today? If your teacher sends home notes about the books they read, then you can ask "what did that crazy pigeon do today? Did he drive the bus again?"

Yep, you'll always have to instigate the conversation otherwise they won't tell you a darn thing worth mentioning...in the case of my 3 yrd old "what did you do today" and the response EVERYSINGLE time is "I learned the ABC's"...my 7 yr old is to busy playing the Wii and conveniently "forgets"...that's why I love the weekly newsletters we get via email..I ALWAYS know!

Well - I can't speak from experience since I'd be thrilled for my son to be able to have a conversation like that with ANYBODY. BUT I do think that what everyone else is saying about how you have to ask all of the specific questions sounds pretty right on when it comes to kids. If you get a piece of information out of him on Monday, then follow up with an update question on Tuesday.
So glad to hear he loves school. That always warms my heart!

I usually ask two specific questions and then let it go. Slowly but surely the kids fill me in.
- October 3, 2009 at 3:36 AM
Questions like 'Who did you sit next to at lunch?' 'Who.what did you play at recess?' 'What project are you doing in art?' Etc. I find 'Who is the worst/best in class' gets them going and of course 'what is the funniest thing that happened today?'

- Sandra said...
After 3 kids I learned never to ask anything when they just walk in the door! I let them get their snack, play or watch TV and once they've had a bread from school (usually at the supper table) we ask "What was the best thing about their day at schoo?". They love to tell you when they have an audience and if it hasn't been great they tell you too! We usually take turns talkig about our day-all of us! Very "Leave it to Beaver" but it works for us!

- Betsy Mae said...
I don't really have any advice for you. I have one who doesn't tell me anything and another who tells me every last detail!
I think that ModernMom is right though, specific questions get the conversations going a littlemore easily. Also, I find after story time at bedtime I can get both girls chatting about things.

Within the pages of the latest Joseph Smith Papers Project volume, one finds the perspective of four men assigned to write early histories of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, two of whom remained faithful and two who turned against it and were excommunicated from the church during the course of their writing.
"Histories, Volume 2: Assigned Historical Writings, 1831-1847" is the seventh release in an anticipated two dozen or so volumes in the project.
Introduced Sept. 25 at the Church History Library in a gathering for Internet bloggers and other interested persons, the new book completes the project's two-volume "Histories" series. It differs from the first, which contains histories written, dictated or supervised by Joseph Smith himself, though both books cover roughly the same time period.
The four men whose histories are covered in the book are John Whitmer, William W. Phelps, John Corrill and Edward Partridge.
"The Book of John Whitmer" was undertaken when Joseph Smith appointed him in 1841 to be church historian.
Karen Lynn Davidson, one of the three volume editors, said Whitmer was a reluctant author at first, and only accepted the assignment when, according to his request, Joseph asked for and received a revelation confirming the appointment. That revelation is recorded today in Section 47 of the Doctrine and Covenants.
In 1838, Whitmer was excommunicated from the church on charges of improper financial dealings but continued writing in his history up to about 1847, three years after the death of Joseph Smith.
The second assignment went to Phelps, editor of the church newspaper The Evening and Morning Star. Phelps was instructed to publish an account in the newspaper about the rise and progress of the church. He completed his assignment within three months, Davidson said, and his history is by far the shortest of the four, comprising only a single article as opposed to a multi-chapter history.
"I love Phelps' history," Davidson said. "It's really very charming. At this point in the early history of the church, 1833, it seems like he's hardly able to conceal his own surprise that things are going so well for this little church."
Corrill was assigned to write a history in 1838 to replace the excommunicated John Whitmer, who refused a request to turn over his history to the LDS Church.
Corrill "seized upon this opportunity to write what is, in part, a very wonderful, balanced history of the church, and in part he used it as his own statement, his personal declaration of his reasons for joining the church and for leaving the church," Davidson said. Corrill published the history himself in 1839.
"Corrill, I feel, is the best writer of the four, and one important thing about this volume is that John Corrill's history is now made available to the public in convenient form for the first time," Davidson said.
The fourth historian whose work is included in the new book, Partridge, took his assignment from Joseph Smith's directive written from Liberty Jail in 1838 that the Latter-day Saints gather up an account of the suffering and oppression that had been inflicted upon them by the Missouri mobs. Partridge was named specifically in that directive, and that got his attention.
He published three installments of his history in The Times and Seasons, the church's newspaper in Nauvoo, Ill., but died before he could complete it. The newspaper editors then filled in the incomplete portion by publishing eight installments excerpted from already-published histories by church leaders Parley P. Pratt and Sidney Rigdon.
"We wish we had all Partridge; that would be ideal," Davidson said. "But this history, the fourth in the book, does offer a sampler of the existing Missouri histories of the time."
Davidson commented on what she called "the elephant in the room."
"Joseph Smith did not maintain control over these histories," she said. "Both Whitmer and Corrill … continued to write after they were excommunicated. They described their alienation in their own words. You will find Whitmer very angry in his last three chapters. You will find Corrill heartbroken in the last chapter of his history."
In answer to the perhaps inevitable questions of why the church would publish these histories and how it will help members, Davidson said, "If we're going to have any credibility as a documentary editing project, it all has to be out there without any tampering, without a whole lot of spin on it."
It is a given that people have left the church in all periods of its existence, she said. "We can get a very vivid idea about the Missouri period and what was going on, not only from the accounts of people who endured and triumphed, but also from the accounts of people who were overwhelmed."
Richard L. Jensen, another of the volume editors, highlighted some noteworthy points in the Partridge history, including early efforts to forestall mob opposition to the Latter-day Saints in Missouri by "certain patriotic individuals." Among these was Marston Clark, a federal Indian sub-agent who traveled 30-40 miles from his subagency among the Kanza Indians to confront those who wanted to drive the Mormons from Jackson County. Clark proposed to decide the outcome of the conflict by Clark and an opponent fighting it out, saying it would be better for one or two individuals to die than for hundreds to perish.
"Another interesting thing that Partridge was quite frank about was the fact that the anti-Mormons gave the Latter-day Saints the offer that if any of them would leave the church and deny the faith they could stay in Jackson County in peace," Jensen said. According to Partridge, a number of them took advantage of that offer.
The Joseph Smith Papers Project has a companion website, josephsmithpapers.org. Lead production editor Nathan N. Waite said that though this new volume completes the print form of the Histories series in the project, there are a number of components that have been and will be added to the website. One is an online edition of the six-volume History of the Church, the one excerpted in the Pearl of Great Price and the one that B.H. Roberts edited. Veteran historian Dean C. Jesse is tracking down all the documentary sources that were used for that multi-volume history, Waite said. At the moment, the first two volumes are on the website, with the third volume expected to be included by the end of this year.
Waite said supporting documents or bonus material to Histories volumes 1 and 2 are on the website, including photo images and transcriptions of the printer's manuscripts for the Corrill and Partridge histories.
New to the website are all six of the extant Book of Abraham manuscripts published in the Pearl of Great Price, as well as the Book of Abraham as published in The Tmes and Seasons in March and May 1842, Waite said. In addition, the website will include other Egyptian materials.
An 1835 hymnal, the first published by the church, is now on the website.
Other new content includes a "Revelations Correspondence Chart" showing the relationship between the different versions of the revelations as they appear in various sources, including the Book of Commandments, the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants, and the modern Doctrine and Covenants.
Four Internet videos pertaining to the new Joseph Smith Papers Project release can be viewed on the Deseret Book product page.They feature volume editors discussing the content of the new book. They can be found by searching online for "Joseph Smith Papers, Histories volume 2."

Soundcloud's Best: May *Miraculous & The Geneus, Stevie Grant, Chase Supreme, Kenton Dunson, Bad KingMay 31st, 2011 by Siegz | Before Bigs Exclusive, Soundcloud's Best |
Our best Soundcloud submissions of May with the exception of 1 song that we missed on that came out in April that we just jumped on. Anyways, guaranteed to like at least 1 of these artists, let me know which you like the most.
I'm super excited to have received this dope submission from a duo from my school!
Duo Gene Feliz and Bradford Hester (from the Bronx, NY attending Syracuse university class of 2013) are releasing a mixtape called "ultraviolet" in late August mainly consisting of hype electro-hop type tracks. We'll be releasing one single on the first of each month up to August 1st. The first single is called "Break It Down".
Follow Miraculous & The Geneus on twitter.
Miraculous & The Geneus – Break It Down
Not exactly a submission but we featured Stevie Grant back in our first Soundcloud's best list. Recently he dropped "When You See Me", which is a nice step up from "Fly" which sampled Rihanna and didn't feature exactly the greatest rapping but showed some potential with how catchy the beat is. In "When You See Me", the production is quality and the rapping is improved. Follow on: facebook
Stevie Grant – When You See Me
Chase Supreme's "Falling In Lust" shows how the rappers lyrics just flow out of him, this is an alternative almost emo-type hip-hop song with a chill dark vibe. However it's all these elements that make this song fairly cool and worth checking out. Follow on: facebook / twitter
Chase Supreme – Falling In Lust
Next comes an artist I have been following since early May. However it wasn't until "Rolling Stone" that I became a fan of Kenton Dunson, who has this solid chill hip-hop vibe. The production on this track is what put it over the edge for me in enjoying this song. I think Kenton's got potential and I look forward to more from the hip-hop/R&B artist. Follow on: facebook / twitter
Rolling Stone Feat. Garrett Anderson
Lastly let's get this rock party started with "Roll Me Over" by Bad King. The song is considered sounding like "sex-rock" and I say why not, this song is fun. Big potential from these Finnish rockers! Follow on: facebook / twitter
Bad King – Roll Me Over

ReleasesBack to
Al Harewood
In 1998, Blue Note released several CDs of previously unavailable (at least domestically) material from its prime years under the title of Standards. Some are not up to the level of the label's best output, but this outing is a definite exception. Guitarist Grant Green is heard in prime form in a sparse trio with bassistWilbur Ware and drummer Al Harewood. Six of the eight performances were previously available in Japan as an LP but never before in the U.S. Because Green rarely ever played chords, sticking to single-note lines, hearing him in this setting is similar to hearing a tenor in a pianoless trio. Highlights include "Love Walked In," "I'll Remember April," "All the Things You Are," and two versions of "If I Had You." Recommended.

The predefined mail. and www. work perfectly, however if i add cloud. as an A or CNAME record to my DNS entries it will work for a while - maybe be a day, or only an hour or 2 - then it stops working, and will only work again if i do something within the DNS settings - change, add, delete... but mail and www are not effected at all.. they work fine the whole time... Here is the output/configs: /var/named/pri.mydomain.com dig output from the server: nslookup from windows PC: The problem happens with all 3 domains i have on the server. I have had it working fine with dnsmasq on the previous server setup. It makes no difference if i am using firefox or chrome. If i edit the HOST file on the PC and add 10.0.0.6 cloud.mydomain.com it works fine, so its not a problem with apache. If i do a DIG on the server it starts working - sometimes. I am using CentOS 6.3 and ISPConfig 3.4.6. Any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it ?

You play very well, and you show it. you are a good player, and you are young. Tighten up the screws a little bit, and don't play as sloppy. Your style could use a little variation, too. Don't be scared to make softer music.

Faces off against in-league Rivals
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Yale men's fencing will travel to Providence, R.I., this weekend for the Feb. 8-9 Ivy League Championship.
The tournament will feature every team from the Ivy League: host school Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton and Yale. The competition will decide the final standings for the league, as well as All-Ivy recognition for individual players from the competing teams.
At last year's championship, the Bulldogs finished fifth, ahead of only Brown. Harvard won the tournament at home in Cambridge, Mass. The highlight of that tournament for Yale was its 16-11 win against Brown. Yale fell to Columbia, Penn, Princeton and Harvard. Current junior Hugh O'Cinneide turned in a strong performance a year ago, finishing in 12th place individually in saber competition. Junior Sam Broughton also finished in 12th place, in foil. In epee, senior Peter Cohen and senior captain Cornelius Saunders tied for 12th place as well.
The Bulldogs hope to improve upon last year's showing this weekend. They have had a strong start to the spring season, winning three head-to-head matches and fencing well in two invitational events at Brandeis and NYU. They are coming off a dominating weekend of matches against Drew and Vassar, which they won 22-5 and 16-11, respectively. Yale will look to carry its fine form into this weekend's competition against its fierce in-league rivals.
