[From] amongthe hundreds of. . .[records] preserved in the office of the county clerk of Wayne county is the first will that was ever put on record in that office. The will of James Loar was written and recorded in 1846--move than seventy-four years ago. Some of the particularly interesting features of the first will ever recorded in Wayne county [include]:
It was recorded four years after the county of Wayne was established by. . . dividing [from] Cabell county. . .at that time a county in the state of Virginia.
The negro slaves were willed to the heirs of James Loar in the same way that horses and cattle are left in a will nowadays.
The maker of this will bequeathed his soul to God as well as his worldly goods to relatives. This is a form seldom found in present-day wills. Not a single punctuation mark of any kind is found in this will.
By the Grace of God Amen I James Loar of the county of Wayne and the state ofVirginia being in feeble health but of sound mind and disposition do publish this last will and testament after giving and bequeathing my soul to Him that gave it and my body to its mother earth to dispose of my worldly goods and property My plows I give and bequeath unto my brother Peter Loar of Mepauni in that he owes me for a black [man] and child and for both in money. . .and to A. J.

As Wayne County News goes to press this week the State Legislature again is convening in extra session at Charleston for the purpose of making provision for the registration of West Virginia women, thus making it possible for them to participate in the November election.
At this time it is not known what will be the action of the legislature; however, it is conceded that a fight will be waged between the suffragist and anti forces. Delegate A. F. Wysong, of Mercer county, who led the anti-suffrage forces in the last extra session of the legislature and is again on the job in Charleston and declares that he is heading a movement for the purpose of thwarting the enfranchisement of women this fall. Wysong is a Republican member of the legislature
Three prisoners confined to the Wayne County jail dug through the brick wall on the north side of the building at dusk Saturday night and made good their getaway.
An opening was made just below one of the windows. The work moving the brick from the wall was done just before dark Saturday and was kept concealed by hanging an overall coat over the hole. The prisoners were in the habit of hanging their clothing from the window to dry after washing and for that reason the jailor Adkins never suspected the hole behind the coat until after the three had escaped. [One of] those who gained their freedom [was jailed for] grand larcency, and [two] were serving misdemeanor sentences for trespassing.
Jailor Lee Adkins entered the hall just as the third man went through the hole in the wall. By arriving at this time he prevented wholesale delivery of the prisoners. The [three] prisoners escaped just before the electrical storm Saturday night and are still at large.

The Rev. Hamel Hartford Brookins, an influential bishop and former pastor of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles who became a political power broker, civil rights leader and mentor to former Mayor Tom Bradley, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and many others, has died. He was 86.
The son of Mississippi sharecroppers, Brookins rose to prominence in the 1960s and '70s as an articulate, self-assured champion of black political empowerment. He died Tuesday at a Los Angeles retirement center where he had been receiving hospice care, a church spokesman said. Brookins had been ill for some time.
Late in his career, Brookins came under scrutiny for alleged misuse of church and federal funds during his time as the African Methodist Episcopal Church's presiding bishop in Los Angeles. He was dogged by similar allegations during later postings in Washington, D.C., and Arkansas. No charges were ever filed, but in 1993, Brookins resigned under pressure as the church's leader in the Washington region. He remained a bishop of the AME church.
H.H. Brookins: In the May 24 LATExtra section, the obituary of the Rev. Hamel Hartford Brookins, former pastor of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles, identified two of his survivors as stepchildren: Steven Hartford Brookins and the Rev. Francine Nelson Brookins. In fact, they are Brookins' children; they are stepchildren of his wife, the Rev. Rosalynn Kyle Brookins. —
A freewheeling religious leader with a powerful preaching style, Brookins maintained his home in Los Angeles throughout a career that took him across the United States, and frequently to Africa.
"He really was not only a fantastic religious and spiritual leader, he was a fabulous politician," U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) said Wednesday, noting that hers was one of many political careers Brookins encouraged and fostered.
"His role in the black community and his understanding of how to seek power and influence at a time when we had very little is something that really should be understood and appreciated," Waters said.
In a career spanning more than four decades, Brookins had a knack for witnessing history — or as he once told a Times interviewer: "I've seen it all. And I've been a part of 80% of it."
He marched arm-in-arm with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights protests of the 1960s and along the way got to know Jackson, then a young lieutenant to King. While assigned to Africa in the mid-1970s, Brookins was banned from what was then white-ruled Rhodesia because of his activism on behalf of the Zimbabwe liberation movement. In 1981, the Zimbabwe government invited him to return for its first presidential inauguration.
Assigned to his denomination's seemingly unglamorous Oklahoma-Arkansas district in the 1980s, Brookins developed a close friendship with Bill Clinton, then governor of Arkansas. When Brookins got married for the second time in 1987, Bill and Hillary Clinton were among the guests.
In 2002, the former president joined elected officials, celebrities and religious leaders at a Beverly Hills hotel to pay tribute to Brookins, praising him for his civil rights legacy and reminiscing about their time in Arkansas.
"I learned a lot by your side, had a lot of good times. But my heart will always be with you, because in sunshine and rain, you were always with me," Clinton said at the Beverly Hilton event. "You helped me make the country a more free, better and united place."
Born in Yazoo City, Miss., on June 8, 1925, Brookins was the seventh of 10 children. He attended tiny Campbell College in Jackson, Miss., and later graduated with a bachelor of arts degree from Ohio's Wilberforce University and a bachelor of divinity degree from Payne Theological Seminary in Ohio.
His rise to prominence inside his church and ultimately outside it too, began in Wichita, Kan., where he landed after seminary and short stints at churches in Topeka and Lawrence, Kan. It was 1954, the year the U.S. Supreme Court declared segregated schools unconstitutional in the groundbreaking Brown vs. Board of Education case.
As a clergyman and the first black president of the area's interracial ministerial council, Brookins helped implement a desegregation plan ordered by the court. He spoke out often and became known as a leader.
In 1965, he was transferred to First AME in Los Angeles, the denomination's largest and most prestigious church west of St. Louis.
He quickly became the leader of the civil rights movement in Los Angeles and became the first president of the United Civil Rights Council, an umbrella group of civil rights and religious organizations. After the Watts riots in 1965, Brookins was a key spokesman for the black community, testifying before the various committees examining the unrest and its causes.
But Brookins was also becoming a political kingmaker, with Bradley his most prominent protege.
A few years after his arrival in Southern California, Brookins first helped Bradley win election to a seat on L.A.'s City Council. Then in 1973, with Brookins pushing him all the way, the shy, sometimes politically awkward Bradley was elected Los Angeles' first black mayor. Church and political figures throughout Los Angeles have credited Brookins with shaping Bradley's political career.
Other political figures Brookins advised or supported include former U.S. Rep. Diane Watson of Los Angeles, the first black woman elected to the state Senate, L.A. County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, Gov. Jerry Brown, and many others seeking local or state office. He worked in presidential campaigns for John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey and Jimmy Carter.
And Brookins provided crucial early counsel and support to Waters in her first race for the California Assembly in 1976. "I was considered an upstart and didn't get the support of the unions or the political establishment," she said. "But he embraced me and helped to raise money for me."
Of the bishop's rich baritone and his theatrical style as a preacher, Waters said: "H.H. Brookins was the man. He was the preacher's preacher and many in the AME church, many of the bishops who came behind him, they all tried to copy him."
Pastor of First AME for 13 years, Brookins led the congregation through the construction of a multimillion-dollar cathedral.
But he was later investigated in Los Angeles, and in two other postings, on allegations of financial impropriety involving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In L.A., city investigators found that Brookins on two occasions in the 1980s had disguised his ownership of an office complex to obtain government renovation loans. The Los Angeles County district attorney's office dropped a criminal investigation of the bishop for fraud and embezzlement, later saying it had erred in doing so before the statute of limitations had elapsed in 1989.
Brookins' survivors include his wife, the Rev. Rosalynn Kyle Brookins, who is the pastor of Walker Temple AME Church in Los Angeles; the couple's son, Sir-Wellington Hartford Brookins; and two stepchildren, Steven Hartford Brookins and the Rev. Francine Nelson Brookins.
Details of services will be announced, a church spokesman said.

Unbounded regions in an arrangement of lines in the plane
Alan WestSchool of Mathematics, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, England
Abstract: We take a set $\Omega$ of $n$ points and an arrangement $\Sigma$ of $m$ lines in the plane which avoid these points but separate any two of them. We suppose these satisfy the following unboundedness property: for each point $x \in \Omega$ there is a homotopy from $\Sigma$ to ${\Sigma}'$ avoiding $\Omega$ so that $x$ is in an unbounded component of the complement of ${\Sigma}'$. It is proved that then $n \leq 2m$. This result is required to partially solve a problem in differential geometry which is described briefly.

A battling north Derbyshire hospice is desperate for more support for this month's DT and JE James Flagg Cycle Challenge fundraiser amid huge, rising demands.
The number of patient contacts at Ashgate Hospice, on Ashgate Road, Old Brampton, Chesterfield, has risen by nearly a quarter in the last year and referrals to its Hospice at Home service have rocketed by nearly 75per cent.
Director of Fundraising and Marketing Esther Preston said more families across north Derbyshire are affected by the diagnosis of life-limiting illnesses and she is urging more fundraisers to help meet this challenge.
She said: "We believe every patient should have access to the highest quality of palliative and end-of-life care, but as demand for our services increases so does the amount of money we need to raise.
"It's a huge challenge but I know businesses and people of north Derbyshire will help us."
The annual Flagg Challenge, on Sunday, July 27, provides cyclists of all abilities a chance to give something back to the charity that provides free services to very ill patients and their families.
The hospice costs £6.5m a year to run of which £4 must come from donations and fundraising to survive.
Ms Preston, who has been inspired by the hospice's quality of care and feels passionately about its work, added: "Ashgate has fabulous supporters - but we really need more."
Fundraisers for the JE James and DT Flagg Cycle Challenge can use pedal power to raise cash for Ashgate Hospice while enjoying a beautiful ride round the Peak District.
The 2014 event offers 55, 25 and 10milers and hopes to raise thousands of pounds for the Chesterfield-based hospice.
It starts at the hospice from 9am, on Sunday, July 27, and returns after completing a route of the Peak. Riders will be treated to a map, marshalls, sponsor forms and refreshments and a route with landmarks and views. The 55 miler takes riders to Flagg, Birchover, Rowsley and the Chatsworth Estate. The 25 miler goes via Cutthorpe, to Baslow, up to Curbar and to Ashford-in-the-Water before returning through Pilsley to Baslow and via Old Brampton. The 10 miler goes from the hospice via Cutthorpe and towards Baslow before returning via Brampton. Chesterfield's JE James is providing refreshments and a Specialzed-brand bike as a raffle prize.
Entry costs £20 via http://www.ashgatehospicevents.co.uk/bike/bike.htm, or by cheque to Ashgate Hospice, Ashgate Rd, Chesterfield, Derbyshire S42 7JD. For details contact firstname.lastname@example.com, Emily Evans on 01246 568801, or DT's Jon Cooper at firstname.lastname@example.com and 01246 504524. Volunteer marshals can also call Emily and Jon.

Tens of thousands of students will be helping to raise money for orphans in India while being challenged to serve God�s kingdom at Christ In Youth�s MOVE events this summer.
PANAMA CITY � Tens of thousands of students will be helping to raise money for orphans in India while being challenged to serve God�s kingdom at Christ In Youth�s MOVE events this summer. The senior high-specific, weeklong program will introduce students from all over the U.S. to the issue of poverty and abandoned children in the country of India, and will ask them to partner with CIY to help rescue those children. Panama City�s week of MOVE will take place June 24-29 at Paradise Palms, 12907 Front Beach Road.
�CIY has been a catalyst for change in thousands of students who have attended,� said John Luzadder, CIY�s senior director of high school programming. �These types of events create atmospheres where students can get away from the distractions of their everyday lives � away from school and sports and boyfriends or girlfriends, and even their home lives � so that they can more clearly hear God�s Spirit calling them.�
Luzadder said MOVE will show a series of videos throughout each week that introduces students to a man named Tiharu � a current pastor in India who was rescued from slavery as a young child and trained to become the church planter that he is today. Students will be challenged to help raise enough money to partner with an Indian mission that rescues abandoned children, builds orphanages and plants churches throughout India.
MOVE has been a part of CIY programming since its inception more than 40 years ago. The five-day high school-only event is designed to amplify the call of Christ on students� lives to become Kingdom Workers. CIY will host 29 different MOVE events over the summer, with more than 25,000 students attending at various locations throughout the country.
Attendees will be led in worship throughout the week by popular Christian artists Matt Bayless and Ryan Post, while speakers Matt Reagan, Miriam Naponelli Masey and Jason Epperson will challenge the students with dynamic preaching.
This week of MOVE in Panama City is a specialized week for Southeast Christian Church out of Louisville, Ken. The church is scheduled to bring nearly 1,000 students to Florida for the week�s activities.
About MOVE
Christ In Youth�s MOVE is a five-day high school-only event held all over the country, designed to amplify the call of Christ on students� lives to become Kingdom Workers. Move provides a program for more than 25,000 students every summer on college campuses all over the country. Students are challenged through intense interactive worship, dynamic preaching, small group study and community building.
About Christ In Youth
Christ In Youth has been providing events, missions experiences and resources that amplify Christ�s call on student lives in partnership with the local church for more than 40 years. More than 70,000 students and leaders attend at least one of CIY�s 95 programs held throughout 15 countries each year. CIY partners with the local church to help call students to a maturing knowledge of Christ in preparation for Kingdom service. For more information, visit www.ciy.com.

Politics swirl in bid for judges
Deal doubtful as incumbent Republican jurists hire firm to push cross-endorsements
ALBANY — "Nobody likes a one-horse race except the horse."
At an undisclosed location off the Thruway in Coxsackie last week, in a meeting that no one wants to talk about, Democratic Party leaders from seven counties gathered to discuss whether two state Supreme Court seats up for election this fall will be one-horse races for the 14-year terms.
According to two people familiar with the meeting, there was a consensus by the political leaders that two relatively unknown attorneys, Richard L. Mott, 63, of Columbia County and Steve Schick, 59, of Sullivan County, will get the Democratic endorsements next month to run against two Republican incumbents, Bernard J. "Bud" Malone Jr. of Albany and E. Michael Kavanagh of Ulster County.
The judicial posts pay about $144,000 a year.
It's an annual ritual around this time, when political bosses from the major parties broker deals, or break ranks, over whether the outcome of judicial elections should be decided for the voters. Under a controversial system known as electoral "fusion," New York is one of just eight states that allow county political parties to cross-endorse candidates from other parties. A cross-endorsement means the candidate's name will appear on multiple ballot lines for different parties.
At judicial conventions that are held in September, and run by the parties, cross-endorsements are coveted by candidates — who are assured victory — but leave voters with no real choice. In New York's 3rd Department — a judicial boundary that encompasses Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster counties — the weighted convention system has left smaller counties without an elected, homegrown Supreme Court justice for years. The system has resulted in most of the district's state Supreme Court justice positions being held by judges from Albany, Rensselaer and Ulster counties.
This year, the prospect of cross-endorsements is uncertain, and may even be fading, for Malone and Kavanagh. Both are experienced and respected prosecutors and military veterans who have spent most of their judicial careers with the Appellate Division, the midlevel appeals court. That's also due, in part, to Gov. George Pataki appointing a high number of Republican judges to the panels.
But there is a downside for judges in these prestigious positions: Appellate judges become virtually unknown to the public because they very rarely, if ever, sit in trial courts. When they face re-election, it's much easier and less costly to obtain a cross-endorsement than to try to campaign across seven counties.
That's part of the reason the campaign teams of Kavanagh and Malone have retained a well-connected Albany lobbying and political consulting firm, Powers & Co. Behind the scenes, and especially in the delegate-heavy Albany area, Powers is privately handling the delicate job of trying to convince key Democrats to break ranks.
Kavanagh and Malone, who as jurists must keep a firewall between themselves and any political dealing, have to wait and hope. A cross-endorsement may also be critical this year because of the presidential election, and the fact well-known incumbent Democrats such as President Barack Obama and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a popular former congresswoman who represented the Capital Region, will appear on voting lines with any Democratic candidates for Supreme Court.
"Coattails become very important in races for state Supreme Court because statistics have shown voters typically stay on the same line," Malone, 69, said. "If there's going to be an arrangement this year, I don't know, I cannot be part of that. ... Of course, I want to be re-elected."
Campaign reports show Kavanagh and Malone have collectively paid more than $40,000 to the storied Albany firm whose founder, William D. Powers, is a former state Republican chairman and assisted Kavanagh and Malone during their inaugural 1998 campaigns, when Pataki was governor.
Powers did not respond to a request for comment.
Given what's at stake, Kavanagh and Malone said it's no mystery why Powers is on their campaign payrolls.
"That's why we retained him, to the extent that there are any discussions between the representatives of the parties, I can't be involved in that," Malone said. "But I want someone on my behalf who has credibility with everyone. Anything can happen at a convention and sometimes strange things do happen."
Kavanagh, 68, said the elected process "does not serve the public very well."
More Information
"From my perspective I've got a very selfish interest which may well define how I feel about it right now," he said, referring to cross-endorsements. "I strongly support the people's right to choose, but the election of judges and the restrictions that are imposed on us in terms of campaigning make it very difficult for voters to become informed."
Kavanagh, like Malone, said retaining Powers this year was as much about loyalty and trust as it is political maneuvering.
"He's an old friend, and he had a lot to do with Bud and I getting elected 14 years ago," said Kavanagh, who recounted how Powers, as Columbia County Republican chairman in 1986, had assisted Kavanagh during an unsuccessful run for lieutenant governor.
"In terms of what discussions that take place between him and the county leaders, Bill is aware of certain ethical boundaries that I will not cross nor will Bud," Kavanagh said. "Bill has never violated that trust with me ... and I know he won't this year."
But cross-endorsements can be contentious.
Malone recounted stepping off the elevator outside his chambers on a September morning in 2001. A small beam of light poked through the jam of a heavy door leading to the county's former grand jury chambers. The night before, he said, a group of downstate Democrats had nearly broken the door off its hinges as they left the annual judicial convention.
That year, Ulster County Democrats were infuriated when their candidate, James Gilpatric, then a Kingston city judge, was left off the ballot. Delegates from the two major parties voted instead to cross-endorse Albany city Judge Leslie Stein, a Democrat, and Berne Town Justice Thomas Spargo, a Republican. (Stein is an Appellate Division justice and Spargo, who was forced off the bench, went to prison after being convicted of shaking down lawyers for donations.)
Over the years, the manner in which cross-endorsements unfold at the judicial conventions — roughly 82 handpicked delegates often vote in line with their party leaders — make legal ethicists shudder. According to delegates who have taken part, party bosses have bartered for cross-endorsements with the promise of patronage jobs, minor-party endorsements for unrelated elections, and other payoffs.
"It's Soviet-style democracy in the sense that we have all the appearances of an election: You go to the ballot box, except the choices have all been made for you," said James Sample, a law professor at Hofstra University who is considered an expert on voting rights and judicial elections. "We're talking about politicians who may be running for office but are still expected at the end of the day to represent everyone equally."
Still, even the political savvy of Powers may not be enough to secure cross-endorsements for Malone and Kavanagh, both of whom would face mandatory retirement next year — at age 70 — but could petition to stay on the bench until age 76.
Schick, who is a longtime Legal Aid lawyer, said it's been more than a decade since Sullivan County has had a resident Supreme Court judge.
"I think the people down here have been pushing for a more equitable distribution of Supreme Court judges," Schick said, explaining the county's Supreme Court judges usually drive in from New York City or more populated upstate counties.
For the next month, in the run-up to the 3rd Department's judicial conventions in Albany, the political massaging will reach fever pitch. The Republicans and their incumbents are hopeful, and many Democrats are whispering not this time.
"If we cross-endorse, which I do not believe in, we'll be accused of back-room deals," said Tom Wade, a delegate and chairman of the Rensselaer County Democratic committee. "The Democratic Party leadership is exhibiting the integrity to show that these smaller counties are not overlooked."
Asked if he attended the meeting in Coxsackie last week, Wade added: "You would be the last one I would tell."
Ulster County Democratic Chairman Frank Cardinale was similarly coy. "I really can't (comment) because, as you're aware, there's a judicial delegation that meets to make those decisions at a later date. ... I don't want to speak for my delegation."
Don Clarey, Albany County's Republican chairman, said he gets regular briefings on any progress.
"I still am quite optimistic that at the end of the day there will be a cross-endorsement on these two very well qualified judges," Clarey said. "We've still got roughly a month to go."

Back in October, I wrote about the fact that one of my sister's friends had been arrested for allegedly doing a very bad thing. I noted at the time that I had no idea whether or not he'd done the bad thing, but that it was apparent that the prosecutor's office was setting it up so that he would go to jail whether he was guilty or innocent:
The guy ended up being charged with 21 counts, many of them duplicative, and all of them carrying very high minimum sentences. He will almost certainly plea bargain.
If he's guilty, a plea may be a good deal for him.
If he did what he is alleged to have done, but there are extenuating circumstances, that's irrelevant in terms of deciding the risk of going to trial. The moment a jury concludes that he committed the acts, he's done for. So again, a plea bargain is the way to go.
And then there's the question of whether he's innocent. By charging him with 21 acts, the prosecutor, by bringing 21 counts against him, has already sent a signal to the jury that this is a "bad" man. The legal presumption may be innocent until proven guilty, but a jury will almost certainly think "Boy, that's a lot of smoke. How about if we just convict him on one of the charges?" The jurors won't know, of course, that just one of those charges can mean decades in jail. So again, the best bet for the guy is to plead out.
So think about that for a moment — we have created a judicial system where a person, whether guilty, innocent, or with a good excuse, begs to go to jail rather than to face the stacked deck in court.
But there's more to it than that: This system encourages lousy police work, because the police know that they probably won't be called upon to answer for it before a judge and jury. Police are rational and they are overworked. Even the best and most decent of them will eventually fall down the slippery slope of dangerously careless policing.
I wrote about a single case. Glenn Reynolds has indicted the entire criminal justice system:
Here's how things all-too-often work today: Law enforcement decides that a person is suspicious (or, possibly, just a political enemy). Upon investigation into every aspect of his/her life, they find possible violations of the law, often involving obscure, technical statutes that no one really knows. They then file a "kitchen-sink" indictment involving dozens, or even hundreds of charges, which the grand jury rubber stamps. The accused then must choose between a plea bargain, or the risk of a trial in which a jury might convict on one or two felony counts simply on a "where there's smoke there must be fire" theory even if the evidence seems less than compelling.
This is why, in our current system, the vast majority of cases never go to trial, but end in plea bargains. And if being charged with a crime ultimately leads to a plea bargain, then it follows that the real action in the criminal justice system doesn't happen at trial, as it does in most legal TV shows, but way before, at the time when prosecutors decide to bring charges. Because usually, once charges are brought, the defendant will wind up doing time for something.
The problem is that, although there's lots of due process at trial — right to cross-examine, right to counsel, rules of evidence, and, of course, the jury itself, which the Framers of our Constitution thought the most important protection in criminal cases — there's basically no due process at the stage when prosecutors decide to bring charges. Prosecutors who are out to "get" people have a free hand; prosecutors who want to give favored groups or individuals a pass have a free hand, too.
Please read Reynold's entire article. It's an important one, especially because we live in a time when it's become impossible to know what the law is. Ours is not a society of "few rules but unbreakable." Instead, it's a society of "many rules, mostly unknowable." If we get in the government's cross hairs, the government can retrofit our seemingly innocent conduct to comport with some obscure rule or regulation . . . and then it nails us to the wall.
This is why the NSA spying is so terribly disturbing. Between an accessible database of every bit of information about us, and an unknowable arsenal of laws that almost certainly touch upon things that all of us do or have done, we have a police state without brakes.
When I posted Reynold's article on Facebook, a friend of mine who served in the Navy JAG back in the early 1980s noted that, when he was a military prosecutor, he and his team were barred from talking about "my" case or, after a successful prosecution, from saying "I won" or some variant of that. The theory was that a prosecutor who became too personally invested in prosecution could essentially go rogue. That was a good rule. It doesn't seem to apply anywhere any more, whether to military, federal, or state prosecutions.

Recent graduate landed a great transportation job and aims to return to Suffolk for a master's degree.
Suffolk graduate Simon Wright is a man with a plan, and he's sticking to it. Wright, who earned his bachelor's in Global Business and Finance in 2011, now serves as the Assistant General Manager at Plymouth & Brockton Street Railway Co., where he has worked since 2010. He says he plans to return to Suffolk in five years for a master's degree concentrating in Supply Chain Management, which he'll pursue part-time taking night classes. A decade from now, he aims to still be working in the transportation industry – possibly somewhere abroad.
Suffolk, he says, was where these plans were born, encouraged and began to materialize.
"I tell people that my experience at Suffolk was positive and beneficial because it allowed me to experience real life while attending college," says Wright, who spent his freshman year studying in Madrid. "I worked and lived on my own while attending college therefore there wasn't an adjustment phase after I graduated; I was already living adult life."
Serving as president of the International Business Club for two years gave Wright experience managing people, he says – which he found to be a challenge at times. His Global Travel Seminar to India gave Wright a taste for international business that shaped his current professional goals. Accounting Professor, Thomas Whalen assisted Wright in landing a great internship in the accounting department of the Kraft Sports Group. Wright would also complete a management internship with Plymouth & Brockton Street Railway Co., which led perfectly into the position he currently holds. Wright chalks these connections and experiences up to his decision to attend Suffolk.
"I was looking for an urban campus that would position me to find internships while completing my coursework," he says. "I chose Suffolk because of its location, business program, and the opportunity to study abroad in Madrid. It met all of my needs."

Debian Wheezy on LS-CHLv1
Starting with Debian 7.0, "Wheezy", Debian supports the LinkStation Live3/LS-CHLv1 out of the box and can be installed using debian-installer.
Pre-installation setup
I have done a clean install using a new HDD. You will need to open your box, instructions can be bound here and here
Once you have installed your new HDD, you have to download the debian-installer: initrd.buffalo and uImage.buffalo
In order to execute the installer follow the instructions to Revive_your_arm9_box_from_scratch. However, before you run the TFTP server, overwrite the uImage.buffalo and initrd.buffalo files in the TFTP server folder, with the ones you downloaded. To boot your Linkstation through TFTP follow these instructions:
- Wait for 6 red flashing lights indicating E06 error code.
- Press function button for 2 seconds which changes back to flashing blue lights. At this point the TFTP boot recovery program finds the LS.
Once the installer is loaded into the LS, you have to use an SSH client to connect to it (you can guess the IP address, or look at your router's list of DHCP clients). Login as installer (password: install) and follow the normal instructions for installing Debian.
Installation will fail at stage Making Your System Bootable due to bug #693839. Don't worry, you can force the execution of this stage:
- Go into shell.
- Chroot into target:
# chroot /target /bin/bash
- Install mkimage:
# apt-get install uboot-mkimage u-boot-tools
- Restart Making Your System Bootable task.
Once it finishes, you will have a fully functional debian installed on your LS-CHLv1. Congratulations!
Post-installation setup
Everything works out of the box except the power switch and the fan temperature control.
Fan temperature control
It can be enabled using the script on LS-CHL main page.
Power switch
I've used triggerhappy to enable the power switch:
# apt-get install triggerhappy
To configure it for shutdown your system:
- Edit file /etc/default/triggerhappy and set DAEMON_OPTS="--user root"
- Edit file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-triggerhappy.rules and comment the first ACTION. In my system, letting this action uncommented turned into a hangup during boot process.
- Create a file specifying an action for when power switch is moved to off position.
# echo "SW_LID 0 halt" > /etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d/gpio_keys.conf
- Restart triggerhappy
# /etc/init.d/triggerhappy restart

Curtis Macdonald
Twice Through the Wall (ind.)
By David R. Adler
Twice Through the Wall, the second offering from altoist Curtis Macdonald, is an EP with a running time of just 20 minutes. Far from hurrying through it, Macdonald paces himself, devoting the first two minutes of the opening "Social Inheritance" to a drum solo intro from Adam Jackson. Ensemble-wise, the language picks up right where Community Immunity, the leader's excellent 2011 debut, left off. Most of the same players are heard, although Jackson, taking the place of Greg Ritchie, is easily a standout on the opener and the two remaining pieces.
On the closing "Physical Memory" is it pianist David Virelles who provides a minute-long solo intro. Working with meditative and spiraling cross-rhythms, Virelles sets up a groove ever more fractured and tumultuous once Jackson and bassist Chris Tordini join in. There's a gut-level energy, on this as well as "Social Inheritance," that defines Macdonald's rhythm section, Virelles very much included.
Macdonald and tenor saxophonist Jeremy Viner pair nicely throughout, getting their horns around intricate unison melodies and presenting widely contrasting solo voices. Macdonald tends to be lighter, more vulnerable, reaching high enough in the alto's range to sound like a soprano on "Comic Fortress," the middle selection. Viner is grittier, more immersed in the Coltrane/Liebman/Lovano side of things. His eruptive solo toward the end of "Physical Memory" is what brings the piece to peak intensity.
Jackson lends a strong Caribbean flavor to "Comic Fortress" with every subtle drum-head inflection and polyrhythmic aside, transforming a trio feature for Macdonald's alto sax into a compelling full-band statement. With no chordal backing Macdonald is set free. But rather than stretching wildly, he focuses on the lyrical composition at hand and the astute trio conversation it prompts, right up to the hip ascending alto/bass figure that ends it.

text: I have been back at work for three months (since DS was 7mo), and have always been able to get 9-10oz over three pumping sessions. In the past few days, I have been getting 7-8oz. I've heard of your body becoming less responsive to the pump after the 9 month mark, so is this probably what's happening to me? My pump was given to me by a friend (Medela PISA) who used it for about 6 months with her son. I used it on and off for 7 months while I was home, but have only been using it regularly (3-4 times a day, 5 days a week) for 3 months. I'm afraid the pump may be wearing out, and I only need 2 more months out of it! (I plan to wean from the pump, but continue to nurse) I've replaced membranes, tubes, etc. so I know it's not that. Any thoughts? Don't tell me I need a new pump!

Live at the Rrazz :: Bigger, Better & More Diverse
Over the past 8 years, San Francisco has had a love relationship with Robert Kotonoly and Rory Paull for being a huge part of the city's nightlife. Kotonoly and Paull's The Rrazz Room (an off shoot of the Plush Room in the York Hotel) has provided city residents and guests with the type of nightclub experience reminiscent of the hay days of the Copa Cabana, The Coconut Grove, and yes, even the Cotton Club where the entertainment was premium and the experience unbelievable.
Now, The Rrazz Room has been forced to move out of the Hotel Nikko where it has resided for the past 5 years due to the hotel's refusal to exercise an option for owners to extend their lease. The owners of The Rrazz Room have responded to the unexpected development as nothing more than a discriminatory action by the hotel leading to a lawsuit brought on by Kotonoly and Paull.
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.

Sorry! Personally i'm quite happy that christmas is over. This hype every year is too much for me.
I can't generate this in my familiy. The things you say here should be concious all over the year, every moment. Especially in christmas time, i'm far away of this.lowlydog wrote:...
The true meaning of Christmas is that the very Being that you are is Truth. This is what Jesus meant when he said, "I am the way and the truth and the life."
Jesus speaks of the inner essence identity of every human being. Some Christian writers call this the "Christ within". The real meaning of Christmas is to find that essential self that is universally experienced as the Christ within no matter what your cultural or religious upbringing is. As we approach the ceremonial date of the birth of Christ and as many of you gather with friends and family, perhaps standing in the silence of the Christ within can keep bringing you back to Being - the eternal life that Christ promised human kind.
I find this very Buddhist.

Tour will be launching two new high-end roller hockey skate models this summer, the Thor EX1 and Thor ZX9. Both skates are based off the popular Tour Code Tabu skate. According to Chad Seibel, Director of Hockey at Tour, Tour has made slight, but impactful changes to the internal structure of the boot. Tour fine-tuned the layering and stitching of the quarter panels in order to enhance their ability to wrap and contour the foot, all while decreasing the weight of the skate.
The top-end model, the Thor EX1 skate, will come with the new Labeda Addiction Micro Hub wheels, making it one of the lightest roller hockey skates available. The Tour Thor EX1 skate will retail for around $550.
The Thor ZX-9 roller hockey skate will come with the new Labeda Dynasty III Micro Hub wheels and retail for around $450.
A full review of both skates will be posted on InlineWarehouse.com come late June, 2010.

Delivers Industry's Best Tape Slot Density for Large-Scale Archiving and Long-Term Retention of Big Data
Delivers Industry's Best Tape Slot Density for Large-Scale Archiving and Long-Term Retention of Big Data
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 30, 2013) - Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM), a proven global expert in data protection and big data management, today announced the new Scalar i6000 HD enterprise tape library, providing the industry's highest slot density. Designed to address customers' big data and archive needs with slot densities that are twice those offered by competitors, this new library makes nearly 5 PB of data available in a single 19" rack and scales to more than 75 PB of capacity. Quantum has also added new high-availability and management features to the Scalar i6000, as well as greater access capabilities for storing big data archives on tape.
In addition to best-in-class slot density and scalability, the Scalar i6000 HD delivers high performance and availability, with new active-active dual robotics for fast data access times. Scheduled to be available in March and backwards compatible with Quantum's Scalar i2000 systems, the Scalar i6000 HD offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities, including proactive diagnostics and many redundant systems, such as power, network ports for encryption key management and connectivity for multi-fabric SAN architectures. Leveraging its embedded iLayer™ software, the Scalar i6000 HD also includes Quantum's unique Active Vault technology for storing vaulted tapes securely in the library and automated policy-based integrity checking, delivering the richest feature set for management of massive data archives.
Tape's New Role in Managing Big Data
As the capture and monetization of data grows, so does the role of tape in big data environments. Built to be reliable and inexpensive, tape technology now serves as an effective tier for storing large-scale archives behind disk storage and next-generation object storage systems. To manage data between tiers of storage intelligently, Quantum's StorNext AEL6000 Archive uses integrated, policy-based software to migrate files automatically. The StorNext AEL6000 Archives will incorporate the new high-density capabilities in the next quarter, enabling StorNext® customers to benefit from the greater tape slot density, smaller footprint, and increased capacity levels as well.
In addition, Quantum's Scalar LTFS provides Scalar i6000 users with greater flexibility for accessing big data archives on tape. Available now, Scalar LTFS provides an easy-to-use NAS file system presentation for tape users in industries working with big data, such as media and entertainment and life sciences. For example, Biola University has deployed Scalar LTFS in its workflow as a flexible and cost-effective approach to storing and accessing large video archives.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The price of oil rose slightly Monday as a strong manufacturing report from China countered a weak one here at home.
An index measuring manufacturing in China showed expansion in November for the first time in 13 months. China is the world's second-largest economy after the U.S. and a huge consumer of oil. A better economy there suggests that energy consumption is likely to grow, pushing oil prices higher.
But in the U.S. manufacturing shrank in November to its weakest level since July 2009. The impact of Superstorm Sandy and worries about automatic tax increases that could take effect in January combined to reduce factory orders and manufacturing jobs, the Institute for Supply Management said.
Around midday, benchmark oil rose 25 cents to $89.16 per barrel. Before the U.S. report was released around 10 a.m. Eastern, oil topped $90 for the first time since Oct. 22.
The price at the pump continued to fall Monday, reaching just under $3.39 a gallon, down 3 cents in a week. The national average is still higher than the $3.28 a gallon this time last year.
Overseas, European finance ministers will hear details of a plan for Greece to reduce its heavy debt by buying some of it back at bargain prices. Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, fell 22 cents to $111.01 on the ICE Futures Exchange in London.
Other futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
- Heating oil was flat at $3.06 a gallon
- Natural gas rose 6 cents to $3.62 per 1,000 cubic feet
- Wholesale gasoline was flat at $2.73 a gallon.

I ordered it online and had to return it in the store.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - It wasn't exactly softball weather, but it was a fun night for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons.
The Lady Bisons flexed their muscles with 15 hits, four for extra bases, and gave several players some unexpected playing time in a 10-3 win over Middle Tennessee at Blue Raider Stadium Wednesday night.
"Hitting-wise I thought we hit really well top to bottom," LU coach Kristin Ryman said. "It is fun when we do that. It is fun for them and it is fun for us as coaches because we get to see them relax and play and have a good time.
"All the way around our hitters did a nice job of adjusting when Middle Tennessee made pitching changes."
Brittany Elmore and Bridgette Begle led the Lady Bisons with three hits each. Begle had a two-RBI double and two singles.
"Bridgette hit a shot up the middle in her first at bat for a single," Ryman said. "If she is seeing the ball well she can get on a roll. I thought she had good at bats all night.
"She found ways to make things happen. When you get her and Brittany going at the same time it makes us that much more dynamic."
Haley Elliott had a strong night with an RBI-double and a solo home run. She has six doubles and six home runs this season.
"Haley has worked so hard on her swing lately to try to get back a few things fundamentally that she has been struggling with," Ryman said. "I know it has been a frustrating few weeks for her in trying to figure those things out.
"But she has stayed patient. She hasn't been getting down on herself. She has just kept coming to practice ready to get better. I knew at some point it was going to pay off for her. Hopefully, this will jumpstart her for the rest of the season."
Heather Montgomery and Bree Thurman added two hits. One of Thurman's hits was a double and also drove in one run.
"Bree is a dynamic hitter," Ryman said. "She has speed. She has power."
Brianne Welch started in right field to give Gracey Aguirre a rest. Madison Wray played the sixth and seventh innings at first base. Shelby Cunningham entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Heather Montgomery in the fifth and remained in the game in left field.
"It was fun to get some other people in and give them some good quality at bats," Ryman said. "It was a cold chilly night. I was glad to see us come out and mentally stay sharp and find ways to win."
Middle Tennessee opened with a 1-0 lead on a home run in the first by Kayla Toney. The Lady Bisons answered with four runs in the second, two in the fourth, two in the fifth, one in the sixth and one in the seventh. Middle Tennessee added one in the third and one more in the sixth.
Tanner Sanders started the game for the Purple and Gold and picked up the win lifting her record to 16-8. She allowed four hits and two runs, both earned in three innings. She struck out four and walked two.
Heather Parker pitched the final four innings. She gave up one hit and one run. She struck out five and did not walk a batter.
"With us only playing one game we thought it would be good for both of them to get a few innings in," Ryman said. "Parker is usually better coming in for relief so we started Tanner.
"Tanner worked herself out of some jams. She gave up the one big hit, but other than she did a pretty decent job. Overall both she and Parker did a nice job."
LU is 28-21. Middle Tennessee fell to 5-44.
The Lady Bisons return to Draper Diamond this weekend for a three-game Atlantic Sun series with Stetson. A doubleheader begins at 2:30 Saturday which will also be "Think Pink" day.
"I am excited to get a game like this under our belts going into the weekend," Ryman said. "Hopefully, it will give us some momentum."

I have found one way to do: Each time I can forward HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO variable and check on end server: if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https') $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on'; But this variant is not good for me, because I can't edit the end servers scripts. Lets say that I don't even have access to it. But I know how to check if it is forwarded. So, Generally my question is: Is there any way that I can forward this variable? I have seen one more variant, with Rewrite engine , but it didn't work for me and there is no detailed information. Maybe If I will set my server on Nginx + apache this will send this header variable?

Ignore email forwards and various old wives' tales recommending other methods of removing ticks. Some popular, but ill-advised, suggestions include drowning ticks with dish soap or Vaseline, or using a match to burn off ticks. It's quite likely that drowning or burning ticks will actually cause more saliva to go inside the bite area, increasing the likelihood of an infection.

Lillian Vallely students start garden
BLACKFOOT — Students at Lillian Vallely School have been learning about growing fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. On Monday, they each took turns planting items in their new garden plot at the school.
Lillian Vallely was one of 15 schools throughout Idaho to receive a $2,000 grant from the State Department of Education to build a garden to promote nutrition, science and agricultural education.
In the 3,400 square-foot garden students have planted raspberries, corn, squash and pumpkins. Principal Jeff Nauman said they chose items to grow that will be ready for harvest after the students return next year. Gayle Laird is the garden site manager who coordinated the planting of the raspberry starts and seeds.
In addition to the garden, each student has already prepared, planted and has viable plants growing in individual container gardens. Each student will take their container garden home with them this summer to provide fresh vegetables and herbs to their families. Each student chose from 17 vegetables and herbs to fill their personal gardens.
The grant was funded through the State Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs Team Nutrition grant so nutrition education must be a part of every school garden plan. Since school cafeterias are allowed to serve food grown in school gardens to students, the schools are encouraged to partner with their school foodservice personnel on these projects.

Pretty Good Book
Author: Wesley
Posted: January 31, 2004 at 12:38PM
My begining physics classes used this book. At the
time I liked it, except for its size, but hey you can't
have everything. But now when I flip through the
pages I can see a lot that isn't included.
But overall I think its a great introduction to
physics and engineering book. (Defidently get the
version with modern physics)
Author: Justin
Posted: November 3, 2004 at 7:16PM
My intro courses also used this book, and it's pretty decent.
It's a little light in some areas, but I still occasionally refer to
it when tutoring lower division courses. For those that may
be using it (or a newer edition), you can take it to a print
shop and have them separate the chapters and rebind it for
easier carrying. I know several students that did this...
Anyway, a decent all-around intro book with good examples.
Wordy, but complete

If you buy volume 1 and 2 of this, you'll have a wealth of information at your fingertips. Serway and Jewett are verbose, which accounts for a good portion of the 6 inch binding width of the set. On the bright side, it explains things well, and for beginners, it's a good resource. Many of the people I've talked to have told me that everything you need to know for the Physics GRE is in the two volume set. They've made great references for me when writing lab reports or tutoring students, and the online accompaniment is helpful.

Benton freshmen can't finish comeback
For the second week in a row, the Benton Freshmen Panther football lost a heartbreaker by just one point. Thursday night at John McConnell Stadium, Conway Blue upended the Panthers 14-13.
The loss leaves Benton 6-2 on the season and 5-2 in Central Arkansas Junior High Conference play.
Benton received the game's opening kickoff and after being held by the Wampus Cat defense, Drew Dyer got off a 37-yard punt to pin Conway back at its own 20-yard line.
Wampus Cat tailback Jeff Thomas broke several tackles on Conway's first snap of the game and raced 80 yards for a touchdown. The extra point gave Conway an early 7-0 lead with 6:09 remaining in the first quarter.
The Panthers responded by driving from their own 13-yard line to the Conway 13-yard line. The promising drive ended, however, when Colton Nix was blindsided after catching a Cason Maertens pass and fumbled. Nix left the game with an injury and didn't return.
In his absence, Drew Dyer stepped in and had a big night for Benton. Dyer would finish the game with 165 yards on 23 carries.
Dyer scored the first Panther touchdown of the night following a Buddy Riggan recovery of a Conway fumble. Dyer was on the receiving end of a 38-yard touchdown pass from Maertens with 1:57 left in the first half. Roy Blalock's PAT tied the game at 7.
But just as the week before at North Little Rock, the Panthers were victimized by an opponent's score just before halftime. Conway took possession following the kickoff at their own 32-yard line and were able to march 68 yards for a go-ahead touchdown with just 15 seconds left in the half. The extra point gave the Wampus Cats a 14-7 halftime lead. Conway outgained the Panthers in total yardage for the first half 220 to 158.
An inspired Panther offense took the field to start the second half and marched 85 yards with Dyer accounting for the entire yardage on 11 carries and one pass reception. Dyer scored on an 8-yard run with 3:04 left in the third quarter. The extra point attempt was bobbled and Conway maintained a one point lead at 14-13.
The teams traded possessions with Benton getting the ball at their own 6-yard line, 94 yards from the end zone with 2:39 left in the game. Maertens engineered what looked to be a game-winning drive, but on the game's final play, he was stopped short of the end zone when he was forced from the pocket to preserve the Wampus Cat upset win. The win was Conway's second of the conference season and gave them a 3-5 overall record.
After yielding 220 yards in the first half, the Panther defense stood tall in the second half, surrendering just 51 yards. Bill Williams led the Panther defense with six tackles; two tackles-for-loss. Kyler Nitschke forced the only Conway fumble of the night. Zach Whittamore and John Penn also contributed five tackles.
The Panther offense rolled up 378 yards of total offense with Dyer leading the way. Maertens completed 11 of 21 passes for 155 yards, giving him 991 yards passing for the season. Maertens has now thrown 13 touchdowns with just one interception. His favorite target on Thursday night was Grayson Morrow who had five catches for 47 yards.
Benton looks to get back to their winning ways next Thursday night when they travel to play the Lake Hamilton Wolves. Kickoff next Thursday is at 7p.m.
The Panther eighth graders got back on a winning track with a 14-0 win over Conway Blue's eighth graders. Ty Callahan and Braylon Alcorn scored touchdowns for the Panthers. Matt Warrick converted both of his PAT attempts. The eighth grade Panthers are now 3-5 on the season and will play at Lake Hamilton next Thursday at 5:30.

Company officials stressed that the move doesn't preclude GLE from building a proposed laser-enrichment facility in Castle Hayne.
Wilmington-based Global Laser Enrichment is exploring business opportunities offered by the closure of the country's only government-owned uranium enrichment facility in Western Kentucky.
But company officials stressed Tuesday that the move doesn't preclude GLE from building a proposed laser-enrichment facility in Castle Hayne, for which it won federal approval last year but has yet to start construction.
GLE is responding to an open call from the U.S. Department of Energy for interest in its soon-to-close Paducah, Ky., gaseous diffusion uranium enrichment plant, which employs 1,200 workers in the Ohio River city on a 3,425-acre site.
GLE's submission of interest is nonbinding, said Christopher White, spokesman for the company's parent, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, and he said that the DOE's call is not a request for proposals.
"We're just learning more about the site" and no decisions or commitments have been made, he said Tuesday.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted GLE permission to operate a plant in Castle Hayne that uses laser technology to enrich uranium. If built, it would be the only plant of its kind in the world.
The company said Tuesday that the NRC approval is site-specific, meaning that it can only be built at Castle Hayne and that GLE would need to seek additional federal approvals to build on any other site.
An Associated Press article, however, quoted The Paducah Sun newspaper as saying that GE Hitachi is proposing to build a new laser-based uranium enrichment plant in Paducah.
White said that story is "further down the line than reality would have it."
Chad Chancellor, president of Paducah Economic Development, said Tuesday that he had no comment on whether GLE would build on the site or whether it was interested in doing so.
Though the NRC gave its approval for a Castle Hayne plant, the company indicated then and reiterated Tuesday that it has not decided whether it will build that facility or whether it actually will commercialize the process. GLE has made no decisions about any of its choices, White said, which also include building other facilities for other uses of the laser-enrichment process.
"We are looking at a number of commercialization options, and that work has been going on since we received the license and will continue for the next several weeks or months," White said.
Any interest GLE might have in the Paducah facility would be in the site and not the plant. White said the company has "no interest in operating a gaseous diffusion plant."
The proposed Castle Hayne laser-enrichment plant would employ about 680 people in construction-related jobs and about 3,000 jobs would come indirectly from the construction, the company said when the facility's license was granted. GLE has said it expects to create about 350 new permanent jobs.
If it is built, the facility would be the first in the world to use the SILEX technology. SILEX stands for separation of isotopes by laser excitation and was developed in the 1990s by an Australian company.
Several years of studies, investigation and hearings preceded the NRC's approval of a 40-year license to build and operate a plant in Castle Hayne.
The proposed plant would be built on about 117 acres on GE's sprawling 1,600-acre campus near the intersection of Castle Hayne Road and Interstate 140.
GLE constructed a test loop on the site in 2009, and it submitted its license application in June 2009.
The final environmental impact statement and safety evaluation reports were published in February 2012.
In the safety report, the NRC said GLE's proposed facility would not pose an "undue risk to the health and safety of workers or the public."
The Paducah plant open in 1952 as part of a government program to produce highly enriched uranium to fuel military reactors and produce nuclear weapons, according to the facility's website.
The plant served as a "feed facility" for other defense plants in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Piketon, Ohio, where the enriched uranium was processed.
The Paducah facility is owned by the Department of Energy and leased and operated by the U.S. Enrichment Corp.
