About The Last Miles
The Last Miles is the first book to focus exclusively on the final decade of Miles's life and music, a period that has all too often been dismissed by critics and fans of Miles's earlier musical periods.
My book and website aim to show how even in his final years, Miles was still exploring, still changing and still pushing at the edges of jazz.
TheLastMiles.com has been voted one of the Top 5 Miles Davis websites by The London Times newspaper.

The Last Miles contains interviews with almost 100 people including, band members, session musicians, producers, engineers, management and road crew. There are also interviews with members from Miles's earlier bands. Miles's only daughter Cheryl also talks about her father.
Those interviewed include:
Miles's music is explored through the albums he made in this period, and a song-by-song analysis provides many new and interesting stories. There is also a massive chapter (almost 40,000 words) on Mile's live music.
The Last Miles also examines Miles's other recordings (such as soundtracks like Street Smart and Dingo), guest recordings (with artists such as Chaka Khan, Toto, Cameo, Paolo Rustichelli and Shirley Horn), cover versions, compilations, videos and DVDs, tribute albums and unreleased material from the 1980s, including the story behind the abandoned Warner Bros retrospective, The Last Word.
Other chapters examine Miles the man, and his life and music before 1975. The latter chapter explores controversial areas such as the role Teo Macero played in the making of Bitches Brew, how Miles composed his music and the story behind On The Corner. Another chapter describes what Miles did during his five-year lay-off – and reveals that Miles was more actively involved in music during this period than is often described.
Also included are a discography which includes a look at alternative releases (like SACD, DVD-Audio and Japan Master Sound titles), a list of Miles' live repertoire, band line-ups throughout the final decade and useful books and websites.
Last but not least, many musicians from Miles's 1980's bands and earlier periods deliver their verdict on the music Miles played in his final decade, and show how Miles and his music still sharply divide opinion today.
The Last Miles in Jazzwise: The April 2005 edition of the UK magazine Jazzwise had an extensive and exclusive interview I did with Jo Gelbard, Miles's partner from 1986 to 1991. Jo talked frankly about Miles's art, music, personality, their relationship and the last year of Miles's life. For information about back issues and subscriptions, go to www.jazzwise.com
I also took part in a very interesting discussion programme about the music of Miles on Open Source, broadcast on Boston's WGBH, with host Chris Lydon. Those taking part included promoter George Wein, Marcus Miller, Paolo Rustichelli, Steve Rowland, producer of The Miles Davis Radio Project, and yours truly. You can hear the one-hour discussion at www.radioopensource.org
Exclusive extracts from The Last Miles can be found on Marcus Miller's official website.

praise for The Last Miles
'The best Miles Davis book ever.' Randy Hall, singer/guitarist/producer, who worked with Miles in the 1980s
'An important book.' Brian Priestley, co-author of 'The Rough Guide to Jazz', jazz pianist, critic and reviewer
'Very moving, emotional material.' Gordon Meltzer, Miles's last road manager and executive producer of the 'Doo-Bop' album
'George Cole's writing, his choice of references, his descriptions of many incidents – it is all so clear and respectful, and shows a deep understanding.' Palle Mikkelborg, composer, arranger and producer of the 'Aura' album
"Wow! What a great book. Finally, something that really gets it right. Thank you for capturing what was going on, the mood, everything." Adam Holzman, Miles's keyboardist and musical director 1985-1989
"Wonderful job, congratulations! An immense amount of work must have gone into it, I can't even imagine. But it was very cool to see that era of Miles treated with the same respect as every other... someone gets it!" Benny Rietveld, Miles's bassist 1988-1990
"The book is wonderful. Congratulations for your very important contribution to the historical documentation of many [musicians] who would otherwise have been overlooked!!!!" Robert Irving III Miles's musical director 1983-1988
"I have to say that you did a marvellous job! It brought back strong memories of that time period and answered a number of questions I had, especially the chapter on the Rubberband sessions. A brilliant job!" Patrick Murray, who worked on the road with Miles from 1986-1990 and was Miles's concert sound mixer from 1988-1990
"It is truly an excellent body of work that literally takes a reader from hearing rumours to realising truths about the Chicago group and our collective take on the Miles Davis comeback." Glenn Burris, co-writer of "Shout"
"The most immediate impact that this book had on me was to make me listen again to Miles' later recordings with a completely regenerated ear and this really is the reason why this book works so well and is an essential read for any true Miles Davis appreciator… you will be hard pressed to find a more inspirational read, written by a man who quite simply loves Miles Davis' music." Mike Chadwick, Ejazz.fm
"There are large chunks of fresh material here…Fill[s] in quite a few gaps and dismisses blanket condemnations of [Miles's] pop phase." Stephen Graham, Jazzwise
"Cole does for Miles' late work what Ian Macdonald's 'Revolution In The Head' does for The Beatles, examining each album in meticulous detail." John Lewis, Time Out
"Cole's analysis has a meticulous, forensic character… [and] is able to bring a wealth of new information to light….This book should get people talking. It should be the first rather than the last word on an intriguing chapter of the life an extraordinarily complex artist. And Davis's vanity would surely have loved that." Kevin Le Gendre, Independent on Sunday
"The book is beautiful. I think you did a great job on covering Miles's life and legacy." Sid Reynolds, hip-hop producer
"GREATFUCKINJOBWITDABOOK" Foley, Miles's lead bassist 1987-1991
"Cole's certainly produced a fascinating book." Chris Ingham, Mojo
"As with any good musical biography, Cole had made me think again about those albums such as Siesta, You're Under Arrest, The Man with the Horn, that are now stashed in my attic." John Bungey, The Times
"I thought it was wonderful. It's a very detailed look at a certain part of the career and life of Miles Davis. A lot of people didn't pay attention to this and I'm glad that George Cole took the time to focus on these final years of Miles's life." Easy Mo Bee, co-producer of Doo-Bop
"Many people have come to me in the past about how the "last miles" bands had been overlooked and ignored by journalists. This book is a comprehensive answer to these omissions. From my discussions with musicians from the latter years with Miles it seems pretty clear they feel some vindication as a result of this book. I thank you sincerely for telling our story. Most everything I have read is as close to my memory of how things happened as any book could hope to be. I think you've done a wonderful job." Darryl Jones, bassist with Miles 1983-85, 1986-1988
"The title is likely to send most jazzbos running, with received wisdom having handed down the rule that in the 80's Miles was only good for playing live; and half of that was just the pleasure of seeing him in person. For a single man to take on the 400-page+ task of changing popular opinion is a very tall order indeed. For him to make you want to actively revisit the decade in question is a near-miracle. Detailing album histories and giving final verdicts, Cole has made every effort to lay the evidence out bare. The analysis could have been a chore were it not for the presence of first-hand interviews with all the major players, making this not just a scholarly study, but a tribute to the man himself, And for a book such as this, you learn more about Davis that could have been expected." Jason Draper, Record Collector
"There simply hasn't been another book published on Miles Davis, in any period that has managed to obtain the wealth of interview material and cover his recorded work and various live tours in such a complete and comprehensive fashion... Engagingly written from start to finish, filled with more facts than you'll be able to remember first time through, The Last Miles is an essential portrait of Miles' last decade and a strong argument that his music was both valid and perfectly in keeping with a musical philosophy that would ultimately stretch over six decades." John Kelman, All About Jazz.com
"We veterans of Miles' last bands are lucky to have such a thorough and insightful look into Miles last period...I really enjoyed the book!" John Scofield, Miles's guitarist 1982-1985
"Cole has spoken to practically everyone who worked with Miles in his final decade. He has traced the evolution of each of those final albums, cut by cut, splice by splice….[Miles] comes out of Cole's account larger, warmer and if anything even more important than ever." Brian Morton (co-writer of The Penguin Guide to Jazz), The Wire
"Through lively analyses of all Miles' recorded work from this period and much that went unreleased, including the 'lost' album Rubberband, [Cole] does enough to send readers back to the original albums." Simon Evans, Choice
"... Cole is a persuasive writer: he prompted me to go and dig out albums that I'd dismissed as inconsequential and listen again with fresh ears. ... A rewarding read" Charles Waring, Blues & Soul
"Cole takes us on an exhaustive journey deep into the heart of Miles' late recordings…The Last Miles needs to be covered by working musicians, producers and Miles' fans alike." Livingstone Marquis, Straight, No Chaser
" George Cole has written a book that should be required reading for anyone with a serious interest in Davis' life and work irrespective of which period of his music you prefer. It offers a valuable insight into this most complex of personalities, and reveals a side to Miles that many may not have known existed…for this reader it has prompted a re-examination of this decade which has revealed a fascinating area of music that I had previously overlooked." Nick Lea, Jazzviews.co.uk
"In the flurry of books since [Miles Davis's] death, none has dealt in depth with the music of this period. Music writer George Cole fills this gap. . . It is so detailed and intimate that the reader feels he is virtually living with Davis as he seeks to reinvent himself… a rich and rewarding read." Irwin Block, The Montreal Gazette
"This is a must for every Miles fan." Neal Gardner, Blogcritics.org
"A fantastic book, an amazing insight into Miles. Guy Barker, jazz trumpeter
"For Miles fans, this book is a must." Jez Nelson, presenter BBC Radio Jazz on 3
"I really do recommend The Last Miles…it is a fine work." John Cavanagh, presenter Radio Scotland's Bebop to Hip-Hop
"A great book that plays a great tribute to the last years of Miles' life." Erik Telford, presenter Miles Radio.com
"The fact of having personally interviewed all those characters...without much recall to interviews already noted and the usual anecdotes, renders "The Last Miles" as excellent...a book that certainly is seen as a work of reference."Maurizio Comandini, All About Jazz.com Italy
"[Cole] has written a comprehensive account of the comeback and the albums it produced...He takes the reader through each of the albums, cut by cut, examining the musical choices, the musicians and their successes...Cole's book is a valuable resource on the last 11 years of a true music legend's life."Chris Smith, Winnipeg Free Press
"I've been thoroughly enjoying your book. I'm sure it'll go a long way towards rectifying some of the negative historical appraisals of Miles' later works that have become prevalent." Kei Akagi, keyboardist in Miles's band 1989-1990.
"Cole gives an exhaustive account of every track recorded [and, it seems, every live show] in that decade and of every one of the dozens of musicians who played on them but what's most interesting is the portrait of Miles Davis that emerges from it all. Sometimes an asshole and a bully, yes, but also a very funny guy who was a good friend to many and a mentor to even more, a man with drug problems who was more often in great pain from other maladies. Through it all, Davis was obsessed with moving his music forward with anyone who could help him do it - from Prince to Public Enemy, from Scritti Politti to a violinist he saw on Johnny Carson and hired on the spot." Rock & Rap Confidential
"I thought your book was awesome and straight to the point. To tell stories the way it really happened is nothing but the truth! Congratulations and thanks!"Ricky Wellman, Miles's drummer 1987-1991
"George Cole has made a major contribution to jazz scholarship...written over a three-year period, the degree of detail is quite astonishing and the research so extensive that it becomes possible to contradict claims made by Miles himself in his autobiography. Every track on every 1981-1991 album is discussed in length …a very valuable book." Chris Yates, The Jazz Rag
"This book is a model of how these types of books should be…If late period Miles is in the readers' interest, the reader should rush out and purchase this volume. It is invaluable." Robert Iannapollo, ARSC Journal
The Last Miles was voted one of the top ten music books of 2005 by Record Collector magazine.
The Last Miles was joint winner of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections' Best Jazz History Book 2006 award.

Russell Means, a former American Indian Movement activist who helped lead the 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee, reveled in stirring up attention and appeared in several Hollywood films, has died. He was 72.
Means died early Monday at his ranch in in Porcupine, S.D., Oglala Sioux Tribe spokeswoman Donna Salomon said.
Means, a Wanblee native who grew up in the San Francisco area, announced in August 2011 that he had developed inoperable throat cancer. He told the Associated Press he was forgoing mainstream medical treatments in favor of traditional American Indian remedies and alternative treatments away from his home on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Means was an early leader of AIM and led its armed occupation of the South Dakota town of Wounded Knee, a 71-day siege that included several gunbattles with federal officers. He often was embroiled in controversy, partly because of AIM's alleged involvement in the 1975 slaying of Annie Mae Aquash. But Means also was known for his role in the movie "The Last of the Mohicans" and had run unsuccessfully for the Libertarian nomination for president in 1988.
His acting career began in 1992 when he portrayed Chingachgook alongside Daniel Day-Lewis' Hawkeye in "The Last of the Mohicans." He also appeared in the 1994 film "Natural Born Killers," voiced Chief Powhatan in the 1995 animated film "Pocahontas" and guest starred in 2004 on the HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
AIM was founded in the late 1960s to protest the U.S. government's treatment of Native Americans and demand the government honor its treaties with Indian tribes. Means told the AP in 2011 that before AIM, there had been no advocate on a national or international scale for American Indians, and that Native Americans were ashamed of their heritage.
Means said he felt his most important accomplishment was the founding of the Republic of Lakotah and the "re-establishment of our freedom to be responsible" as a sovereign nation inside the borders of the U.S. His efforts to have his proposed country recognized by the international community continued at the United Nations, he said, even as it was ignored by tribal governments closer to home, including his own Oglala Sioux Tribe.
But others may remember him for his former organization's connection to Aquash's slaying. Her death remains synonymous with AIM and its often-violent clashes with federal agents in the 1970s.
Also in 1975, murder charges were filed against Means and Dick Marshall, an AIM member, in the shooting death of Martin Montileaux of Kyle at the Longbranch Saloon in Scenic. Marshall served 24 years in prison. Means was acquitted.
In addition to his presidential bid, Means also briefly served as a vice presidential candidate in 1984, joining the Larry Flynt ticket during the Hustler magazine publisher's unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination.
Means recounted his life in the book "Where White Men Fear to Tread."

Audi AG has released its 2012 Interim Financial Report, and in it the German automaker has released some interesting details about its acquisition of Ducati Motor Holding. Confirming our report that the Audi Group has bought 100% of Ducati's shares, Audi however discloses that it paid much less for the Italian motorcycle brand than was previously reported.
Disclosing a buying price of €747 million ($980 million at the exchange rate at the time of sale), perhaps the most interesting news in Audi's report is that Ducati was actually bought by Lamborghini, making Ducati a subsidiary of the boutique Italian car-maker. This news would explain Ducati CEO Gabriele del Torchio's appointment to the Lamborghini Board of Directors earlier last month.

With Tu B'Shvat approaching, there's no better time to bake a traditional fruitcake. The following recipe is taken from my website, unofficialharrypottercookbook.com (in The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook, the recipe substitutes apple juice for brandy so kids can eat it too). This cake hails from Scotland, so it doesn't call for fruit from the shivas haminim, except, coincidentally, raisins. Feel free to substitute chopped dates and figs for any of the dried fruit.
Makes one 9-inch cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup finely ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1½ half sticks (12 tablespoons) butter
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
¼ teaspoon almond extract
Juice and zest of 1 orange
¼ cup marmalade
1/4 cup brandy
½ cup dark raisins
½ cup golden raisins
½ cup currants or dried sweetened cranberries
¼ cup chopped candied cherries, optional
Whole raw almonds for covering the cake
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep and set aside. Whisk together the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each until incorporated. Add the almond extract and beat until combined. Add the orange zest and juice and the marmalade and beat until combined. Add the brandy and beat until combined. Stir in the flour mixture at the lowest speed until combined, scraping down the sides. Stir in the dark raisins, golden raisins, currants or cranberries, and candied cherries, if using.
3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Place the whole almonds in concentric circles on top of the cake. Bake for 1 hour; then reduce the temperature to 275°F and bake for another hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan. When completely cool, invert the cake onto a cardboard round and immediately reinvert the cake onto a serving platter or another cardboard round. Store the cake at room temperature tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for up to two weeks, but it is best eaten when fresh.

About the Book
If you are a Harry Potter fan who's been wondering what the delicious-sounding foods Harry eats look and taste like, then The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook is for you. The book contains recipes for every food mentioned in Harry Potter, from simple everyday foods like scrambled eggs to fancy desserts like treacle tart. British cuisine is very different from American cuisine, and though it has a bad reputation, the Harry Potter books prove otherwise. You can't read about the Hogwarts feasts or Mrs. Weasley's sumptuous meals without feeling hungry or wondering if the food is as wonderful as it sounds.
The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook will not only satisfy that hunger, it will also answer the question with a resounding yes. The more than 150 recipes were thoroughly researched and developed to please the modern American palate. Each recipe also is preceded by a short, colorful description of that dish in British culinary history. This book is an absolute must for two types of Harry Potter fans: the fans who are interested in trying the foods that Harry Potter and his friends ate and the fans who will never step into the kitchen but want to understand the culture that shaped Harry Potter's life.
Happy cooking and hearty appetite!
Sounds like a cool cookbook. We have many Harry Potter fans in this family; can't wait to try them out. Thanks!

Trying To Limit Net Access, Dutch Telcos Accidentally Force Government To Speak Out On Net Neutrality
from the backfire? dept
Although the below image has been circulating the internet as a satirical warning for some time now, Dutch telco KPN recently announced that it's actually going to implement something like this due to declining revenue.
The company stated that starting this summer it will be blocking chat-messaging applications such as WhatsApp (competes with SMS), VoIP services (competes with calls) and heavy streaming services. All these services will get their own price tag, just like what is currently the case with calling and text messaging. The problem with that logic of course is that calling and SMS are actually different services that the telco offers; but in the case of creating pay packages for internet services, probably none of the services are from the telco itself. Some other telcos, such as Vodafone, already stated that it, too, is interested in plans like these (Vodafone is already blocking VoIP and selling access to VoIP services for 5 EUR per month).
Unfortunately for KPN, this plan might actually backfire. The majority of the Dutch parliament has spoken out against the plans and have urged the Minister to protect net neutrality. Currently the Dutch Telecommunications Law does not provide a good safe harbor for net neutrality, but it soon might... because of this. One parliament member who is part of a ruling coalition party even suggested that if telcos are going to charge more for usage, perhaps the tariffs for normal phone calls should be lowered. Sadly, the Minister is less outspoken and has claimed that "mobile internet is really something different than an internet connection at home".
It will be interesting to see what happens next. Will service providers like Wikipedia start charging telcos for "using their content for free?" Will Skype start demanding royalties? As we've said before: "it's a pipedream for [...] some mobile operators, but the likelihood of it actually becoming the norm seems pretty damn low."

At this time in history, the gulf separating the worlds of Islam and the Christian West can sometimes seem unbridgeable, the conflicts between them unsolvable. The time is ripe, then, for Lamin Sanneh, someone intimately familiar with both worlds, to tell his improbable life story.
Sanneh, though of royal lineage, grew up in a poor Muslim family in the colonial Gambian village of Georgetown, on an island in the Gambia River. "There was no church," he writes, "in the town where I was growing up; I had never seen a Bible in my life; I had never heard anyone teach or preach about Christianity; there was no mention of Christianity in the books we read at school."
Today, however, Sanneh is an accomplished Christian scholar whose influence traverses multiple continents. Teaching and researching posts with Yale Divinity School, the University of London, and two Pontifical Commissions are among this distinguished man's many titles and honors.
From Islam to Christianity, from provincial poverty to global intellectual preeminence—Sanneh has indeed been on quite a journey. In Summoned from the Margin: Homecoming of an African (Eerdmans), he reflects on the many steps and decisions that shaped this unlikeliest of biographies.
At first, the title is likely to suggest to a Western reader, as it did to me, that the margin from which Sanneh was summoned was his birthplace, and that his homecoming was to the Christian world—ultimately to Catholicism, where he has found his spiritual home. But the image also suggests the opposite: the Christian world as the margin to which he was summoned—a strange, distant world, remote from the world of his childhood. The homecoming, in this vein, is ...1

More ridiculous adulation of arch-Darwinist Dawkins: Now upgraded to prophet
Shades of the ridiculous adulation of Darwin, here's some ridiculous adulation of Dawkins, the current ultra-Darwinist in chief, as the "prophet of the selfish gene":
Andrew Read opens the volume with an account of how his view of life was changed after reading The Selfish Gene on a lonely mountaintop in New Zealand. My own first reading had less of Mt. Sinai in it but was still special. I was in the flats of Michigan in my first year of grad school, and Richard Alexander and John Maynard Smith were already laying waste to the false idol of uncritical group selection. Alerted by Maynard Smith to the imminent appearance of The Selfish Gene, I watched for it, snapped it up immediately, and, though I am neither a night owl nor a rapid reader, I had devoured it whole by the early hours of the next morning.
These people are beyond parody, which saves me work. You have to pay to read the rest of the glowing testimonial, including how author Queller and his dad both seen da light and realize that the selfish gene governs everyone's behavior ...

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Santa Maria BBQ Rub' category.
We recently wrote an article for Barbecue Mag Online that featured several Santa Maria BBQ recipes. This dry rub recipe is featured in that article. We find that it brings out much of the natural flavors of meats and vegetables while maintaining simplicity. This recipe can easily be made into a larger batch and stored in your pantry or spice cabinet.
Santa Maria Dry Rub:
5 Tsp. Kosher or Sea salt
2 Tsp. Black Pepper
2 Tsp. White Pepper
1 Tsp. Onion Powder
3 Tsp. Granulated Garlic
* To add more heat, add 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper or Red Pepper flakes.
Suggestions: When making a dry rub, try to keep the ingredient "grinds" similar. They will be much easier to apply in an even manner. One more suggestion, smaller grind will melt into the meats faster and bond better during the cook. Rub a good olive oil onto the meat surface prior to seasoning, doing this will allow the dry rub to adhere better and dissolve even more quickly.

Franks & Beans Day
PRODUCT: Amy's Organic Beans
Filed under Kosher Nibbles, Rice/Beans/Grains, Vegan
July 13th is Franks & Beans Day. Thank goodness for Amy's—we can celebrate with quality baked beans. Amy's Organic Vegetarian Baked Beans are the best canned beans we've had: rich, hearty beans that aren't drowning in the cloying sweetness that other brands succumb to.
(What is it with manufacturers who sweeten every savory food, so that meat and vegetables smack of sugar? Isn't that what dessert is for? Do Americans really want everything to taste sweet, or want to ingest all that extra weight-gain and diabetes-inducing sugar?)
Also delicious are Amy's Organic Traditional Refried Beans (pinto beans), Organic Refried Beans with Green Chiles and Organic Refried Black Beans—all of which go perfectly well with franks and other foods, and should't be reserved for Mexican dishes. That being said, the quality of Amy's refried beans is superior to most Mexican restaurants. Just heat and serve!

Top Tier
The Top Tier of the Medical Provider Network will be a select group of providers that can demonstrate the use of occupational health best practices. Providers qualifying for the Top Tier will be eligible to receive financial and non-financial incentives.
The Top Tier will initially use an application process that will assess the following components:
- COHE best practices
- Additional occupational health training
- Quality improvement focus
- Care coordination and communication resources
- Complex claim review
Planning for Top Tier implementation is currently underway. Given limited resources, we are working to determine how best to coordinate Top Tier implementation at the same time as other important programs. Our goal is to avoid confusion and support medical provider participation in all the workers' compensation reform efforts.

The MSNBC host is promoting a memoir about work-life balance, but unsurprisingly, Colbert took issue with one side of that equation. He's not alone in his interest in Brzezinski's... reproductive attributes.
It's another moment to remember that the important debate over juggling a career and family is more often than not had by women, with other women. (And occasionally male comedians pretending to be conservative ideologues). Where's Joe Scarborough on balancing his congressional and then media career with having two sons?
Speaking of which, here's another difference in the paths of each half of Morning Joe:

Genealogy Lessons Learned the Hard Way
You know how when you just know you are on the verge of solving something and you can't stop cause you are waiting for that 'Aha' moment? Well, that's me. That's where I am at. I bet I have virtually been to every church in London this week. I have even been dreaming about the Lord Mayor. I woke myself up the other night when I heard my own voice say "Alderman!"
You're probably wondering, "what's the point to all of this?" So I will tell you. I ran so many searches for Alderman Pickett's children with no success. So I decided to check Familysearch. Sweet success! I found his son William's baptism record which also listed his birthday. When I noticed that the baptism date was 30 years after his birth, I assumed it was an error. So naturally I wanted to find the original image. For some reason I was not able to find any information about the original document through the batch no. After a lot of googleing I discovered that the London, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 were now available on Ancestry. So here I am looking through all the images for the ST MARTIN LUDGATE, LONDON, LONDON, ENGLAND baptisms. I couldn't find the entry that Familysearch indexed at all!
So I went to the Familysearch Forum and pleaded for help. Thank goodness there was a kind soul there who went to Ancestry.co.uk. and found the entry right off the bat! My folly - I never imagined that he would have been baptized as an adult and therefor never checked under the date that I thought was an error (besides that, he was indexed wrong).
So now I have the proof of his baptism, but now I have to face the possibility that since he was not baptized as an infant, the Alderman's other children weren't either; or am I assuming again?

Yeah, I know about that "never assume" one. And yet I keep on doing it.ReplyDelete
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post and I also happen to be assuming a lot these days! So many brick walls in my own research, but it's a learning curve I suppose! So happy for you, that you were able to obtain the document that you were seeking. I just hope some good luck comes my way too!ReplyDelete

CLEVELAND — Munenori Kawasaki delivered the hit that Toronto had been waiting for.
His two-run single with the bases loaded in the ninth inning sparked a three-run rally and the Blue Jays hung on for a 5-4 win Tuesday night.
Kawasaki, who broke an 0-for-18 slump, lined a 1-2 pitch from Joe Smith into left-center field to score two runs and break a 3-all tie. A third run scored when center fielder Michael Bourn booted the ball for an error.
The Blue Jays nearly gave it away in the bottom of the inning. Closer Casey Janssen, who had converted 17 of 18 save chances, gave up Asdrubal Cabrera's RBI single that cut the lead to two. Kawasaki's throwing error made it a one-run game but Steve Delabar retired Michael Brantley on a fly ball for his first career save.
"Great ballgame, it really was," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "The guys battle, like they always do."
Colby Rasmus drew a one-out walk off Rich Hill (0-1). After Maicer Izturis flied out, J.P. Arencibia was announced to bat for Josh Thole. Smith relieved Hill but Arencibia singled and Emilio Bonifacio walked to load the bases. Kawasaki fell behind in the count but came up with the clutch hit Toronto's struggling offense has needed.
"They were able to make the chance for the RBI opportunity," Kawasaki said through a translator. "I just tried to connect."
Neil Wagner (2-3) struck out Ryan Raburn with the bases loaded to end the eighth after the Indians tied the game. Casey Janssen, who had recorded 17 of 18 save opportunities, allowed two runs in the ninth before Steve Delabar retired Michael Brantley on a fly ball for his first major league save.
Indians starter Justin Masterson took a two-hit shutout into the seventh but Bonifacio's two-run single put the Blue Jays ahead.
The Indians tied the game in the eighth off All-Star reliever Brett Cecil on Brantley's RBI single. Asdrubal Cabrera's two-out single and Kawasaki's throwing error in the ninth cut the lead to 5-4 but Delabar recorded the final out.
"We took the lead and they came back and of course it got a little hairy there at the end," Gibbons said.
Smith, pitching for the fourth straight day, couldn't get the one out the Indians needed.
"Smitty had faced Arencibia four times and struck him out four times," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "That's the matchup we wanted. With Kawasaki, he just left the ball over the plate and Bourny mishandled it for the unearned run."
The Blue Jays, who had been blanked in two of their last three games, struggled against Masterson. Toronto finally broke through thanks to two hits and a pair of walks.
Toronto starter Esmil Rogers allowed one run in six innings.
Adam Lind doubled with one out in the seventh and moved to third on a groundout. Izturis walked on four pitches before Thole walked on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. Bonifacio, who struck out with a runner on third to end the fifth, lined a 2-1 pitch into right field to score Lind and Izturis, giving Toronto the lead.
The clutch hit came on Masterson's 120th and final pitch of the night. The right-hander, a member of the American League All-Star team, allowed four hits, struck out six and walked five.
The Blue Jays were shut out by four pitchers in Monday's 3-0 loss to Cleveland.
Giambi's RBI single gave Cleveland the lead in the second.
Cleveland traded Rogers, who was making his eighth start of the season, to Toronto for infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Yan Gomes in November. Rogers struck out seven and held Cleveland to four hits.
Masterson didn't allow a hit until Rasmus led off the fifth with a double. Masterson was coming off his shortest start of the season when he allowed six runs in 4 2-3 innings in a 7-0 loss to Detroit on Friday. He threw a six-hit shutout in his start before against the Chicago White Sox.
Cabrera broke an 0-for-20 slump with a single in the first. Indians reliever Preston Guilmet made his major-leage debut in the seventh and retired both batters he faced.
NOTES: RHP Danny Salazar will be called up from Triple-A Columbus to make his major league debut Thursday against Toronto. "It was a shock when they told me. I didn't know what to say," said Salazar, who began the season at Double-A Akron. Francona expects Salazar to have the normal pre-game jitters all pitchers experience before their first start. "If he has any brains at all, he probably won't sleep a wink and he'll tell everybody tomorrow he did," Francona said. ... The Blue Jays are considering moving Brett Lawrie (sprained left ankle) from third base to second base when he comes off the 15-day disabled list. Lawrie played second Tuesday in a rehab appearance at Triple-A Buffalo. "We're gonna let him do it down there a little bit and we'll kind of look at it when he comes back," manager John Gibbons said. ... RHP Zach McAllister (sprained middle finger) will make a rehab start at Akron on Saturday. Francona said McAllister won't throw his curveball, which caused the injury, on Friday but will use it on his second rehab start. ... RHP R.A. Dickey will start for the Blue Jays in the series finale that will begin at 12:05 p.m.

Resisting the urge to hitch up his faded Wranglers by the belt-loops, warble a tune made famous by the Sons of the Pioneers and perhaps take aim at an imaginary spittoon, Miikka Kiprusoff, channeling his Finnish John Wayne, welcomed Leland Irving back to the seat beside him in a highly distinctive Cowtown manner.
"Howdy, pardner.''
Irving cleared the holster quicker than Henrik (The Calgary Tower) Karlsson.
That's why he's the one left standing in this High Noon-like showdown for the back-up goaltending spot on the Calgary Flames.
"It's awesome,'' said the 24-year-old from Barrhead, just northwest of Edmonton. "No better feeling. It's taken a lot of hard work and a few obstacles along the way, but I couldn't be happier. "Obviously you have your doubts every once in a while, especially when things aren't going right. But I just stuck to the process. I knew what I was capable of. I was just focused on getting back to myself, playing my game, and I really feel I've done that lately.
"I know the contract situation, and the way the start of my season was going, I knew I had to do something special to really prove I deserve to be here.''
Out of the scorched earth of a wasted half-season in Abbotsford, one in which the one-time heir apparent to the throne had been shunted to third-string status, Leland Irving earned a reprieve to his suddenly-stalled pro career with a tidy, confident performance here in a dizzyingly-brief, highly-unorthodox mini-camp.
Both men had been placed on waivers Thursday, and cleared. Karlsson has been designated for assignment but remains here for now.
"The management, the coaching staff, we were sitting on the decision,'' admitted Flames' head coach Bob Hartley on Friday. "We feel like Leland Irving won the backup position. We felt like he was better. It's not fun. It's not a fun situation. But this is a very competitive business. You have to make the right decisions and, more importantly, the most honest decision. "That's what we feel we've done."
Irving shrugged when asked how he could only recently be third-tier in the American Hockey League - behind Danny Taylor and Barry Brust - and now elevated to No. 2 in the big show.
"I can't explain it. It's just a different speed. A little scrambly down there. I found I had too much time to think and maybe just was over-aggressive at times. I feel a little more comfortable here even though it is faster. I think being here is more suited to my game. "You have less time, but there's also less time to over-think things.''
While playing time was virtually non-existent in the minors, he isn't anticipating a back-breaking workload here, either. But the bench is better than any press box. So obviously he has no problem caddying, playing Angelo Argea to Kiprusoff's Jack Nicklaus.
"There's rumors that he's ready to play 48 (games),'' mused Irving. "I know he's capable of it. I'm gonna be ready every night. Take that approach. Every practice is going to be like a game for me. That's how I have to approach this. "Being similar in size, I can learn a lot from him. Not a big goalie himself, Kipper's very efficient, has great reflexes and very calm in the net. I can't catch myself sleeping in practice, watching him the whole time. I came here and took every day very seriously. I didn't want to waste a day. I think the little bump in the road in Abbotsford is a good thing for me.''
Clearly, after signing a one-year, $750,000 deal, the situation out west under coach Troy Ward had become personally untenable. But when the lockout ended and this opportunity to pull himself out from under that cloud presented itself, Iriving wasn't thinking of the worst-case scenario, of perhaps losing the duel.
"I don't know what my options would've been. But we would've worked something out. But obviously I'm very happy to be here and be a part of this organization. I mean, I've had lots of highlights. Lots of great times. I've got a beautiful baby girl at home. Great family. Last season was a great season, too, but just a little stumble in the road to start this season. Nothing I expected but I'm just happy to be here, now.''
In the final analysis, Irving toppled the Tower on Thursday, during last-gasp auditions.
"That last scrimmage set-up,'' said goaltending coach Clint Malrchuk. "That's what probably made the difference. (Irving) excelled. He took the spot there.
"They were very close. In a camp like this it's so hard because there's no exhibition games, you're in practices all the the time and they're both in there taking 100 shots. It's a difficult situation for both of them. But Leland was good when he had to be. A week before camp, I knew he was coming here and I wanted him to arrive in a good frame of mind because of all the negative stuff that's been happening to him this year. So I told him 'As quickly as things can go bad in this game, in pro sports, they can turn good.` I know. I've been there. So it's kind of cool to see that happen for him.''

Eye and Ear Opens Office of Global Surgery and Health July 08, 2013 New Initiative Made Possible by Gift from Carmella Kletjian Contact: Mary Leach 617-573-4170 BOSTON (July 8, 2013) – Overshadowed by the toll taken by HIV/AIDS, malaria and other communicable diseases, rates of death and disability stemming from ophthalmic and ear, nose and throat conditions continue to rise. Most cases of preventable blindness and treatable deafness occur in the developing world, and most go unanswered, needlessly incapacitating millions of children and adults. Massachusetts Eye and Ear, a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate, has announced the opening of the new Office of Global Surgery and Health, which will enhance global surgical and health education and outreach to address the growing need for ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists in the developing world. The Office of Global Surgery and Health was made possible through the generosity of Carmella Kletjian, who established the Steven C. and Carmella R. Kletjian Endowed Chair in Global Surgery. Mack L. Cheney, M.D., a long-time Mass. Eye and Ear physician and Harvard Medical School Professor of Otology and Laryngology, is the first incumbent of the Kletjian chair. "This is the first-ever Mass. Eye and Ear based Chair and the first Chair in Global Surgery at an academic medical institution.

I've been working with this one for a few weeks now, and I'm interested in what other people might think about this argument. Truth is such in integral part of nearly all philosophical arguments, but what is it REALLY?
The simplest answer I have come up with is that truth is what you, yourself percieve as reality. This makes it entirely possible (and probably) that two or more people would perceive something the same way, and therefore have a common truth between them. However, the opposite must also be possible then, that two or more people would perceive the same thing in MULTIPLE different ways, and since they both perceive it to be reality, it would be truth for both (or all), but not COMMON truth.
An example of this would be that if I beleived that pigs could fly, and I perceived that as part of my reality. That would be the truth for me. You, on the other hand would beleive that pigs could not fly, and that would be perceived as part of your reality, and therefore be truth for you. Both are truth, but not common truth.
Generally, when we speak of truth, we are presenting it as in indisputible fact that must be common to everyone. However, if truth is mearly the perception of reality by the individual, truth in this form cannot exist, since there is the POSSIBILITY that someone would perceive it in a different way.
Also, I have established truth in a temporal sense. Meaning when truth can, cannot, and does exist. Firstly, I think that most people would agree that truth is definatly in the past and the present. What has happened and what IS happening is reality. Our perception of that reality is what defines the truth for each of us, but no matter how we perceive it, it is the truth for us.
As to the future, it is impossible for truth in this sense to exist. We do not know what is going to happen in the future. At best we can make educated guesses as to what will take place, but infinate variables will most probably change the outcome.
For example: I have a tree in my back yard. If I were to build a stone monument at the base of the tree, and carve into it "There is a tree here." That would be true NOW. Assuming the stone monument is not destroyed, and preserves until the end of the world, the tree will NOT. The tree could be cut down tomorrow, or destroyed by lighting, or rot away over hundreds of years, but it will eventually be gone. The monument will remain, and while it states the truth TODAY, the moment the tree is removed, it will no longer be true. This can be applied to a large number of scenarios, although I am lothe to state "all scenarios" or even "most scenarios" since this is a new idea for me, and I am still working with it.
Apologies for the long post, but I'd really like to hear what any of you have to say about truth!
ps. sorry for the poor english, it's late.

Welcome to the forum Azurelite. = )
Your post was valid; truth is what you perceive as reality. It's a way of consolidating logic, imagination, experience, and influence into a belief system that reflects a view of the world, a creative story we constantly paint as reality. It is always subjective, always relative, and always subject to change. Truth is also an intellectual yearning, a desire to understand, comprehend, and communicate our personal views of reality to ourselves and others by channeling phenomenon into concept. Thus, truth is always a reflection of our reality, subtle fragments of mental energy claiming to be the totality of our whole experience.
Or maybe not. <shrugs> That's just my current point-of-view.
On a personal note, I define universal truth, if there is such a thing, as the fusion of creativity and paradox. I'll elaborate if anybody gives a hoot.

Well mine's basically the same as transports, but simply put, the truth is what you percieve as real, and in all the various aspects of life. and shoot, why not, elaborate some, i'm curious transport man!

NASA's next mission to Mars gets rolling, as engineers on the mobility team cross a finish line of their own. Just complete is fabrication of the wheels for the Mars Science Laboratory rover. In 2010, the SUV-sized rover will land on Mars, touching down on all six of its truck-sized wheels, ready to drive. This dust-busting wheel will soon join with its shock-absorbing, titanium spokes and the perfectly balanced springs that will snap them into place. With only 18 months to get the rover ready, the mission team will be driving hard to build their rover, test it, and send it on its way!

The Star Investigation That Broke the Story
Publisher Description
In a clandestine meeting at an airport hotel, investigative reporter Kevin Donovan is alerted that there might be problems at ORNGE.
From mysterious sources to leaked reports and from intensive interviews to dogged analysis of financial reports, Donovan slowly pieces together the stunning story of a public agency out of control and of a government that took its eye off the ball.
Culminating in the dismissal or resignation of top executives and board members, new protocols to protect public safety, a police investigation and public hearings in 2012, this story reveals how crucial determined journalism is in our busy, complex society. In this riveting account of the Star investigation that shone a spotlight on Ontario's troubled air ambulance service, Kevin recounts his three-year quest to uncover just what was going on at ORNGE.

Topic Overview
What is healthcare-associated pneumonia?
Healthcare-associated pneumonia (nosocomial pneumonia) is pneumonia that you get when you are in a hospital or nursing home. Experts generally consider it a more serious illness than pneumonia that people get in daily life (community-associated pneumonia). This is because the person with healthcare-associated pneumonia may already have a serious illness. Healthcare-associated pneumonia is also often caused by bacteria other than Streptococcus pneumoniae, which causes most cases of pneumonia. These other bacteria may be stronger and more resistant to antibiotics than S. pneumoniae. So healthcare-associated pneumonia may be harder to treat.
You are more likely to get healthcare-associated pneumonia if you:
- Have another serious condition, especially another lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Are not eating enough healthy foods and are malnourished.
- Have a weak immune system.
- Have been in the hospital for a long time.
- Are taking many antibiotics.
What are the symptoms and how is it diagnosed?
Symptoms of healthcare-associated pneumonia include:
- Fever.
- Cough with mucus.
- Changes in a lung examination or lab test.
It is important to diagnose the condition quickly. If your doctor thinks you have healthcare-associated pneumonia, you will have a chest X-ray. And your doctor will examine a sample of your mucus and blood.
How is healthcare-associated pneumonia treated?
Doctors use antibiotics to treat healthcare-associated pneumonia. Your doctor will probably give you an antibiotic that kills many different bacteria (wide-spectrum) immediately, before he or she can identify the type of bacteria causing the infection. After your doctor knows the specific type of bacteria, he or she may change your antibiotic to target it.

Golf Itinerary
"The Island has established itself as one of the premiere golf destinations in Canada and, for that matter, all of North America."
Bob Weeks, Score Golf Magazine
What's your idea of golf heaven? Why not check out the following week-long itinerary which will have you on the fairways from sunrise to sunset and provide you with a variety of backdrops including coastal dunes, bluer-than-blue breathtaking ocean views, greener-than-green forests and lush rolling farmlands.

Check out our Accommodations Search to find lodgings as you travel across the Island in pursuit of that perfect score.
Day One
Travel to Brudenell River Golf Course located approximately 45 minutes east of Charlottetown (18 holes, 5,655 yards, Par 70). The Robinson-designed Brudenell course is extremely scenic, particularly the holes that stretch alongside the Brudenell River. Brudenell has been a favourite playing ground for PEI's own top LPGA golfer, Lorie Kane.
Day Two
Start the day off by golfing the newly opened Dundarave Golf Course (18 holes, 7,284 yards, Par 72) before driving approximately 30 minutes to Belfast Highland Greens ( 9 holes, 3,209 yards, Par 37). Designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, Dundarave opened in July 1999 and along with its adjacent course, Brudenell, forms half of Atlantic Canada's first 36-hole championship facility.
Day Three
An early start this morning will allow you to play Avondale Golf Course (18 holes, 6,900 yards, Par 72) on your way to Lakeside where you can enjoy golfing the The Links At Crowbush Cove (18 holes, 6,901 yards, Par 72).

You'll be heading westward on the Island to play Glasgow Hills Resort & Golf Club, (18 holes, 6,800 yards, Par 72) approximately 1 hour from Crowbush. This course, designed by noted architect, Les Furber, features sensational views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Clyde River.
Day Five
Travelling toward PEI's north shore, you can spend the morning golfing the historic Green Gables Golf Course (18 holes, 6,459 yards, Par 72), located in Cavendish, PEI National Park. Designed by Stanley Thompson and built in 1939, this course was an early bird to the PEI golf scene. Just off the 11th fairway is Green Gables, the fictional home of Anne Shirley in Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic tale, Anne of Green Gables.
An hour's drive westward will take you to the next golfing destination at Mill River (18 holes, 6,826 yards, Par 72). Designed by Robbie Robinson and Graham Cooke, this course is continually rated as one of North America's best golf values, and one of the sternest tests in Eastern Canada.
Day Six
Golf Mill River and head back to Charlottetown, an approximate two-hour drive eastward, where you can overnight at any of the first-class accommodations available downtown. Enjoy an evening dining in one of the fine restaurants in Charlottetown, and perhaps take in one of the offerings at the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
Day Seven
Within a ten minute drive east of Charlottetown, you'll arrive at the Fox Meadow Golf and Country Club (18 holes, 6,835 yards, Par 72). Designed by Rob Heaslip, this championship class course overlooks the historic and beautiful Hillsborough River.

Barnard College and President Debora Spar hosted the second annual Barnard College Global Symposium in the United Arab Emirates, to showcase the incredible work being done by preeminent women throughout the Arab world. On Monday, March 15, 2010, Barnard presented a dialogue on women's leadership, women's agency and women's voices: Women in the Arab World.
The event opened with a keynote address by Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, the UAE's Minister of Foreign Trade and the first woman in her country to hold a cabinet post. Sheikha Lubna addressed a diverse audience of business professionals, academics, students and those in the arts and sciences, and spoke about how the significant achievements of Arab women today are influencing future generations to aspire to and reach greater heights.
"The advancement of women has been an ongoing and important issue facing the world and the region. That is why it is appropriate and important that Barnard College has brought its global symposium to the UAE and I am delighted to take part," Sheikha Lubna expressed.
Following the keynote address, an impressive group of accomplished and successful women from the region participated in two panel discussions. Voices of the Region, the first panel, tackled issues facing women in the region through the lens of the arts: film, literature, and criticism. The discussion, moderated by President Spar and featuring scholar and critic Samia Mehrez, novelist Ahdaf Soueif, and filmmaker Moufida Tlatli, touched on the use of art and literature as a channel of expression and leadership.
The second panel, Conversations on Leadership, examined the changing face of women's leadership across the region, and the great strides that Arab women have long made in this part of the world. Kathryn Kolbert, Director of the Athena Center, moderated a panel of extraordinary women for this vibrant conversation – Federal National Council Member Najla Al-Awadhi; corporate financier Loulwa Bakr; renowned surgeon Dr. Houriya Kazim; and fashion designer Rabia Zargarpur.

Lockdown plan successful after gun scare
Snafus were few and unrelated during investigation at school
Calm prevailed during a lockdown of all three schools in Valdez a week ago Tuesday after a loaded handgun was found in a student restroom at Gilson Middle School.
"It was discovered by a student," Jacob Jensen, district superintendent, confirmed in an interview Monday.
The incident began unfolding around 2 p.m. and Jensen said the student who spotted the weapon acted properly.
"That student did exactly what they're supposed to do," he said. "Tell an adult."
The unidentified staff member went directly to Aaron Baczuk, a Valdez policeman the department had recently trained to be a DARE officer for the school district. Ironically, Baczuk happened to be on duty at the school at the time of the discovery.
The lockdown of the school began immediately at Gilson; the elementary and high schools followed suit.
"We had a brief discussion and sent out a notification to the other schools," Jensen said.
Students were not notified in any of the schools as to why the buildings were on a lockdown status.
Students at Hermon Hutchens Elementary School were not aware the building was on a lockdown status. Reports from parents visiting the school at the time of the lockdown stated the procedure was smooth and did not disrupt normal classroom time.
Police learned the identity of the Gilson student that brought the loaded handgun to school hours later. No information was given as to why the student brought the gun to school.
District officials and Valdez police declined to verify or deny reports posted on social media sites that the weapon in question was a .44 handgun.
Students were allowed to leave school almost on schedule; the buses were running about 10 minutes late; parents that showed up at the schools were allowed to take their children home, according to Jensen.
Police searched lockers and common areas of both Gilson Middle School and part of Valdez High School in the aftermath. Jensen said two knives were found in two different student lockers at the middle school.
It is a felony under Alaska state law to bring weapons into public schools.
District policy calls for a one year expulsion from school for any student that brings a gun to school. An automatic thirty-day suspension is the penalty for bringing a knife to school.
Jensen said both penalties can be changed by the board of education.
"The board has the option to take that option," he said.
Motivation behind the gun and knives found could mitigate the penalty, Jensen said, but at this point his office did not have further information.
"I have not talked to the parents and the student" involved with the gun, Jensen said Monday. "the police have, though."
Alaska law also prohibits school districts and law enforcement agencies from divulging names of minors accused of criminal acts. Schools are also prohibited from releasing information on disciplinary actions, including suspensions and expulsions, taken against students. However, an expulsion hearing was scheduled by the board of education for Tuesday evening. The scheduled hearing, slated for after the Valdez Star goes to press, was to be held in an executive session, meaning the board is allowed to meet outside the public arena.
Overall, Jensen said he was pleased with the manner in which the district instituted the lockdown, but noted there were a few areas identified where the district could improve in the event another such incident occurs in the future. Some snags were not under district control.
Shortly after the lockdown was instituted at Gilson, the school lost electrical power and its generator did not kick for several minutes. Staff were at first unsure if the sudden black out was part of the lockdown or not. It wasn't.
Also of concern was a delay that occurred with the district's "One call now" system. The system is designed to call parents automatically in the event of an emergency to give them information about events that impact students. As an example, the same system was used last year to notify parents school was cancelled due to dangerous snow loads on the roofs of district buildings.
The system which the district uses is actually located on the East Coast, Jensen said, and when the district attempted to use the system, school officials were given an automated message saying all circuits were busy, which delay notifying parents by at least 45 minutes.
Some were not notified until close to 6 p.m. Thursday.
Jensen said he has instigated an investigation into the system's failure.
"We've asked for extensive reports from the company," that hosts the system he said.
The district began issuing press releases notifying local radio stations and the newspaper about the lockdown at 2:30 p.m.
"Overall, I'm happy with how things happened" after the discovery, Jensen said. "Kids responded well, adults responded well."

After her short tenure on Kevin Can Wait, Leah Remini has officially booked her next TV role.
Remini has joined an untitled comedy pilot from Rob McElhenney and Rob Rosell, the team behind It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, says The Hollywood Reporter. The show revolves around a woman, her ex-husband and her new wife, who all work together to raise a family in middle America. A conservative lesbian living in the deep red territory of Trump's America? That's comedy gold!
Remini's character, Jean, considers herself a patriot who loves her country and, like most conservatives, firmly believes in everyone's right to be left alone. Though her political beliefs line up with that of the conservative party, she lives a very progressive lifestyle with her wife, Betty. To make matters more complicated, Jean and Betty raise their two sons with the boys' father, Richie, Jean's ex-husband who lives in their garage.
Um, awkward.
The roles of Richie and Betty have not yet been cast, and the show, if it gets picked up, is likely to air sometime in 2019.
Fox has leaned more towards conservative programming as part of its transformation between seasons, picking up Last Man Standing after it was canceled by ABC and ordering three new multicamera comedies.Leah Remini, Kevin Can Wait" data-image-credit="David M.
