It may be summer here, but it's winter in New Zealand, a country to which Joe Mensch, whose father, Mark, is a former East Hampton High School assistant football coach and trainer, headed this week for a month of professional snowboarding competition.
The 19-year-old Mensch, who has his eye on the 2014 Olympics, said during a conversation at The Star the other day that American snowboarders were dominant in the sport, to which his father, now the athletic director at William Floyd High School, added, "but the Japanese are starting to catch up a little."
The elder Mensch, who co-owns Sports Therapy physical rehabilitation centers in Amagansett and Moriches with East Hampton High's present trainer, Randi Cherill, and Michele Cordova, said he began taking his son to Okemo Mountain in southern Vermont when Joe was 3 years old.
Starting on skis, he switched to snowboarding at the age of 6. Asked why he'd done so, Joe said, "It was so much cooler, I guess, and a lot more fun. I liked the flow of it. . . ."
"Every weekend, after I'd finish a basketball game or a wrestling match in East Hampton," said Mark, "I'd pick him up, we'd catch a ferry, and drive up for the weekend. It's like Joe said, the flow of it is a great feeling. It's the same experience as in surfing [a sport the father also learned from the son]. In surfing, you're working with the wave, and there's creativity. Also the conditions, both on the water and on a mountain, can change at any time. . . . Snowboarding also is a lot easier on your legs too."
It's been nice for the son to have an experienced sports trainer as a father. Asked if he'd broken some bones, Joe said, "Oh yes — it's dangerous, at least the way I do it. . . . The courses are very similar to skateboarding courses, with halfpipes and long trails with jumps and rails."
He has trained in Vermont — at Okemo, Mount Snow, and Stratton — for more than a decade of winters, snowboarding in the morning and going to school in the afternoon and competing in freestyle events throughout New England. He still found time, though, in his sophomore year, to quarterback the William Floyd football team to a Long Island championship.
"He learned the game by coming for practices here in East Hampton when I was an assistant coach," said the elder Mensch. "I coached with David MacGarva and Mike Burns and Eddie McGintee. Dick Cooney hired me. Joe was a ball boy. He played P.A.L. football at William Floyd. In the 11th grade he moved over from the Mount Snow school to the Stratton Mountain school. The staff recruited Joe to go there."
Then, in his senior year, a decision between snowboarding and football had to be made, though apparently the young man, who had won a national snowboarding championship in his junior year, qualifying him for the Olympic trials, didn't have much trouble deciding. He spent his entire senior high school year at Stratton, with about 30 others, some of whom are competing today and most of whom are doing other things.
Winning a national championship vaulted him to the next level, into competition versus professionals. Joe has been a pro for a year now, based in Colorado.
Recently, he won the Gatorade Free Flow Tour, a nationwide series, which, in turn, earned him a berth on the Mountain Dew Tour, "a big [televised] pro tour that's going to be held in the U.S. this winter."
The prospects of his being one of four to represent the United States in snowboarding at the 2014 Olympics in Russia apparently are good.
"In March," said Joe's father, "everybody here got to see him on television in the Mammoth Mountain Grand Prix. It was on NBC, Channel 4. Joe [who ultimately finished seventh] was in the finals. For a long time he was second on the leader board. People were going crazy!"
Yes, Joe said in reply to a question, the money was good in professional snowboarding. Flow Snowboards is his major sponsor, and, consequently, he doesn't have to do anything else nowadays but train and compete.
His best trick thus far, the curly-haired, broad-chested interviewee said, was a frontside 1080 — three full rotations with a cork and an off-axis grab of the board.
"It's like a whirlybird," said his father, who added that freestyle snowboarding also had things in common with figure skating, too, inasmuch as "you're traveling while rotating."
"You go up in the air off the wall of a halfpipe," said Joe, "and you're spinning and flipping while you're traveling down it . . . you want to create momentum that will carry you into the next wall."
A slope style routine would last perhaps two minutes, he said, and, yes, it was a great concentrator of the mind.
"He's like a fighter pilot, knowing how to push the envelope," said his father.
"It's an adrenaline rush — you live for it," said Joe, whose coaches, all of them former top-ranked snowboarders themselves, have said his team sports background gives him an edge.
Though 5 feet 10 inches and 160 pounds, he can bench-press 250 pounds and presses 400 with his legs.
Pro snowboarders, Joe said, generally retire at around 30, "about the same as in football."
"You take a pounding in snowboarding, the ice is hard," said Mark Mensch. "You're going 25 to 30 miles per hour up and down walls that are 15 to 20 feet high and landing on that hard surface. . . . One good thing for him is that the snowboarding industry is just beginning. It will continue to grow, and there will be opportunities for Joe to stay involved in the sport after his competitive career is over."
The competition, though, was becoming tougher and tougher every year, said Joe, who's always trying to add to his freestyle repertory.
Asked if he had ever skateboarded, the pro snowboarder said, "I've done a little, but I'm not that good."
"He's pretty good at golf," said his father.
Apparently he is putting aside that obsession, though, for another day.

City Council meetings are being streamed live on the website and on Channel 3 CDE
Located in Clarksville Tennessee in Montgomery County. The cemetery has existed since February 23, 1800, when Clarksville was no more than a village, on land donated by Valentine Sevier, who was the first recorded interment. The cemetery is considered the oldest known public burial grounds in the area, and is still an active cemetery to this day.
In the early historical writings and documents the cemetery was referred to as the city cemetery. The feelings of the citizenry and public officials at that time were that it sounded too much like pauper burial grounds. After many suggestions as to a proper name for the cemetery the city officials, along with the citizenry adopted the name Riverview Cemetery on June 7, 1929. The name was appropriate because it overlooks the beautiful Cumberland River as it winds its way to the Ohio River.
In the early years for the cemetery to be laid out on a hillside had its practicality. To travel up or down the Cumberland to a more level spot would have been placing the funeral party in danger of hostile Indian attacks. Holding the high ground was a most desirable advantage.
Within these hollowed confines lie the remains of the early pioneers, settlers, civic leaders, and statesmen of this areas historical and cultural heritage.
Men of all American wars are interred here. Many pioneer and 19th century citizens, including Revolutionary War soldier Robert Nelson, are buried here. One plot contains the reinterred remains of 125 Confederate soldiers. Also interred here at the foot of his mothers grave is artist Robert L. Newman.

Die-hard Jeep enthusiasts look forward to Easter every year, and not for the colored eggs – in lieu of the Easter bunny, Jeep rolls out half a dozen special models at its Moab Easter Jeep Safari. This year, behold the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept, Wrangler Apache, Mighty FC Concept, J-12 Concept, and Wrangler Traildozer.
First up is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Concept, which takes the brand's midsize SUV and makes it even more off-road ready. Jeep has equipped the Trailhawk with new 18-inch Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor off-road tires and Mopar rock rails that will take the Grand Cherokee across any trail. Coming straight from the factory are the Grand Cherokee's off-roading systems – tow/recovery hooks, Quadra-Drvie II four-wheel drive with a rear electronic limited-slip differential, and Quadra-Lift air suspension. Differentiating the Trailhawk from other Grand Cherokees are a raft of visual updates including stone white paint; the grille surround, mirror caps, rear light bar, and lower front applique painted mineral gray; red tow hooks, center caps, bolt holes, Jeep logos, and trim lines; and a glare-reducing matte black hood applique.
Fans of classic Jeep vehicles will love the Mighty FC and J-12 Concepts. Both trucks pull on Jeep's classic heritage of the Forward Control truck and the classic Jeep Gladiator pickup truck. Both concepts find their roots in the Wrangler– for the Mighty FC, Jeep's engineers started with a Wrangler Rubicon that they lengthened and relocated the cab ahead of the front axle. A custom-designed front fascia and cargo box complete the dramatic aesthetic transformation. However, the Mighty FC Concept isn't all show – the team added a new offset Portal Axle set from Mopar (which are now on sale for $12,500 for the front axle and $11,000 for the rear) with King coil-over assemblies and Teraflex control arms and track bars. Custom 17-inch beadlock wheels with massive 40-inch tires guarantee that the Mighty FC will be able to get anywhere its going, no matter what's in its path.
Despite looking like the next-generation of Gladiator pickup, the J-12 concept is, essentially, a long-wheelbase version of the currently available Jeep JK-8 pickup conversion offered by Mopar. Codenamed "Old Man Truck" during development, the extra 18 inches in length means that the spare tire has been moved under the truck's bed and the cargo box is now a full six feet long. The Mopar boffins have also tacked on a three inch lift kit and Dynatrac D-44 and D-60 axles. The front fascia, 15-inch steel wheels with 36-inch tires, and dressed down white and plaid cabin all hark back to the Gladiator pickup and differentiate the J-12 at a glance from its JK-8 progenitor.
Mopar also rolled out two different versions of Hemi-powered Wranglers. The Wrangler Apache from Mopar packs a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 under the hood, sending 470 hp and 470 lb-ft to all four wheels. The best part? The Hemi Wrangler conversion kit goes on sale this summer, initially only for the five-speed automatic, but later also for the six-speed manual. Mopar Pro 60 5.13 front and rear axles, a lift kit, and off-road bead-lock wheels have been added for additional off-road prowess, along with high-clearance fenders, half-door kits, a Stinger front bumper, and a winch.
The second – and wilder – Hemi Wrangler is the Wrangler Traildozer Concept. Jeep worked with American Expedition Vehicles to make a truck ready to tackle the worst Moab has to offer. A six-speed manual routes power from the 470-hp Hemi V-8 to all four wheels through Rubicon-specific Dana 44 axles equipped with electronic locking differentials. An AEV Dualsport RS 3.5-inch suspension lift was added to clear the 37-inch Mickey Thompson Baja Claw radials.
Jeep also rolled out a 2012 Wrangler decked out in accessories by the Mopar brand. Starting with a Wrangler Rubicon, Mopar added a two-inch lift kit, 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler tires on Classic five-hole wheels, off-road bumpers, rocks rails, winch kit, the same Dana axles as the Traildozer, and more.
Right now, none of the Concepts are slated to go into production — though Jeep says the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is under serious consideration — and Jeep has previously said that there will be no Wrangler pickup earlier than 2016. In the meantime, make sure to snap up those Mopar accessories and sit tight for the Hemi conversion this summer.

|Physical Description
|Images of Thrór
Thrór (Third Age 2542 – 2790, lived 248 years) was King of Durin's folk for 201 years, from 2589 to 2790. He was the eldest son of Dáin I, and with his younger brother Grór he led his people away from the Grey Mountains after a great Cold-drake killed both his father and brother Frór. Thrór led some of the Dwarves back to Lonely Mountain, where he became King under the Mountain. While Grór continued west with the a great following of Durin's folk to the Iron Hills, where he founded his own realm.
King under the Mountain
At Erebor, Thrór and his people were very prosperous. Gaining the friendship of the Northmen who lived along the river Celduin. These people later founded the town of Dale and had much trade of goods, beautiful trinkets, and weapons with the Dwarves. The Ereborians also had much traffic of ores with their kinsman in the Iron Hills. And the region had peace and prosperity for many years.
In 2770 though their prosperity ended. The Dragon Smaug heard of the wealth of Thrór and his people. And he came south from the Ered Mithrin and sacked the Lonely Mountain, killing many Dwarves. But from the destruction many escaped last of them being Thrór and his son Thráin from the hidden Side Door. So with a small company of kin and faithful followers they made the great wandering south, until they reached the hills of Dunland.
On a Midyear's Day, Thrór created his map of the Desolation. With runes he wrote information about entering Erebor from a secret way. He used Moon-letters for this.
Dunland, and the journey to Moria
Why Thrór and his people chose to settle in Dunland is not clear, but they tried to make a living. However twenty years after the Sack of Erebor despondent and homeless, Thrór now old and desperate, gave to his son Thráin II his Ring of Power, along with the map and key to the Lonely Mountain. "It takes gold to breed gold," He said to Thráin at their parting. "Surely you are not thinking of returning to Erebor?" Thráin said. "Not at my age," Thrór said to him. "Our vengeance on Smaug I bequeath upon you and your sons. But I am tired of poverty and the scorn of Men. I go to see what I can find." He did not say where.
Thrór left his people and went north with a single companion, an old friend Nár. Eventally they made it over the Redhorn Pass down into Azanulbizar the Dimrill Dale. And when they came to the East-gate of Moria they found it open. Nár begged Thrór to beware, but he took no heed of him, and walked through the gates as the heir who had returned. But he did not come back.
Nár stayed nearby for many days in hiding until one day he heard the blast of a horn, and Thrór's body was flung out of the Gate and onto the steps; his head was severed and lay face downward. As he crept near, he saw branded across his forehead in Dwarvish runes the name AZOG.
Azog then called out to him from the Gate with a warning that beggars who would not wait at his doors but instead sneaked in to attempt thieving, would fare the same fate. Azog then proclaimed that he had murdered Thrór and that he ruled Moria. He demanded that Nár deliver the message to the family of Thrór. Nár was barred from retrieving the head of Thrór. As a final insulting gesture, he was struck with a small pouch of coins of little worth. Weeping, Nár took the pouch and fled down the Silverlode. He looked back and saw that Orcs had emerged from the Gate and were hacking Thrór's body into pieces and throwing them to the crows.
When Nár returned to Dunland with the tale, Thráin wept and cursed and tore his beard and then fell silence. For seven days he sat in silence with little food or drink. Finally on the seventh day, he stood up and said, "This cannot be borne!" He declared war on the Orcs and sent word to the corners of the world, calling on all the Seven Houses together for vengeance. Nine years later at the Battle of Azanulbizar, the climax of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs the Thrór was avenged, and Thráin took the Azog's severed head and shoved the purse of coins into his mouth then set it on a stake.

Growth in the nation's labor market far exceeded forecasts last month, a possible signal that businesses are proving resilient through the disruption caused by Superstorm Sandy, the monster hurricane that punished the East Coast and disrupted that key artery of the economy, and the uncertain political situation. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, fell to 7.7%.
The U.S. added 146,000 new jobs last month, new Labor Department data shows. Government economists say the hurricane didn't impede November's tally. Last month's figure fits with the labor market's performance this year. The country had averaged a monthly gain of 151,000 this year. In the past three months, that figure was closer to 170,000. Another employment metric, which accounts for job hunters and those forced to work part-time, supported the headline figure: Total unemployed fell to 14.4% from 14.6% a month earlier.
Joblessness declined to the lowest point since December 2008. This was accompanied by a decline in the labor force; the labor force participation rate fell to by 20 basis points to 63.6%. Without this decline in the labor force, mostly the result of people halting the job search after Sandy, unemployment would not have fallen. As they return this morning, unemployment could return to nearer 7.9%.
Significantly, the Labor Department lowered estimates on October's job growth (by 33,000) and September's growth (by 16,000).
Today's upbeat estimate on job growth comes as a complete surprise. Economists had expected figures well below 100,000. Some pegged between 50,000 and 80,000. Market participants immediately cautioned that these government figures will be revised in coming months. To be sure, other economic numbers had seemed to show a contradictory picture of the nation's health. Weekly reports on jobless claims have shown an immediate increase after Sandy, and they remain elevated still—recording a four-week average of more than 400,000. Businesses, simultaneously, have seemed to stay on the sidelines; as several other economic indicators apparently reinforced, most are postponing any major investments until later this year. The fiscal cliff, a series of tax increases and spending cuts set to begin Jan. 1, threaten to impede business growth.
Regardless, a 150,000 monthly gain still falls short. Economists say the nation needs to create double that figure to lower unemployment and help the economy heal.
U.S. stocks immediately rose after this morning's data release. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 0.4% to 13,131.33. The S&P 500 index climbed 0.2%. And the Nasdaq composite declined 0.1% to 2,987.53.
Basic material stocks pushed the market higher. Freeport-McMoRan Copper went up 5%. Barrick Gold increased 1.1%. Cliffs Natural Resources added 1.1%.
Capital goods stocks also posted gains. Caterpillar rose 1.7% to $87.38. Deere gained 0.7%.
"The labor market continues to improve gradually, which is good news given fears over the fiscal cliff," says IHS economist Nigel Gault. "That suggests that if we can successfully negotiate the cliff, employment growth should accelerate in 2013."
A piece of economic data that complicates today's picture was also released this morning. The Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 74.5 in early December, down from 82.7 in November, likely from the worry over the fiscal cliff.
In November, retail added the most jobs (53,000). Business services (43,000) and health care (20,000) were also major job creators.
Meantime, a decline in construction and manufacturing growth show Sandy's lingering effects, as well as how the fiscal cliff roils the economy. All told, some 370,000 Americans say they were unable last month to work because of weather. While a record high for November, it still isn't as much as the 1 million that sometimes report in December and January during bad snowstorms.

Shawn Wayans
Shawn Wayans made his acting debut in 1989 in his brother Keenen Ivory
Wayans' feature film "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka." Immediately following
his feature film debut, Shawn joined the cast of the Emmy Award winning
comedy series, "In Living Color."
Shawn starred in the box office hits, "Little Man" and "White Chicks," both
of which he also co-wrote and co-executive produced. Shawn began cowriting
his string of blockbusters with the smash "Scary Movie" where he also
played Ray, an ambiguously gay football jock, alongside his brother Marlon
Wayans, and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Co-written, co-executive
produced by and starring Shawn Wayans, "Scary Movie 2" was the only
sequel in the "Scary Movie" franchise with direct Wayans involvement.
Shawn will next be seen on the big screen in "Dance Flick," the new comedy
co-written with brothers Marlon and Keenen Ivory.
Shawn's past film credits include the hit comedy "Don't Be a Menace to
South Central While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood," which he cowrote,
executive produced and starred in with brother Marlon Wayans. The
movie was a comic spoof of the coming-of-age-in-the-'hood movies and is a
huge cult favorite.
"The Wayans Bros." sitcom, which Shawn and Marlon created and starred in,
was the first WB show to be sold into syndication after heading up the WB
network lineup for five years.
Shawn, along with his brothers and sisters, created "Thugaboo" and the
subsequent "Boo Crew" animated specials for Nickelodeon, which began
premiering in August, 2006. In addition to creating, the Wayans are also
writing, directing and voicing the series which takes a humorous look at the
trials and tribulations of nine inner city kids. TheBooCrew.com released in the
fall 2009 and plans are underway to turn The Boo Crew into a daily comic
When not on the road performing standup, Shawn can be found hard at work in
the "lab" where he and his brothers are busy concocting their next project.

Winton is a traditional range of oil colors made from moderately priced pigments, formulated for student and amateur artists or more accomplished painters who require large volumes of color within a moderate cost range.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.

Cadmium Red is a bright, warm red that ranges in shade from orange-red to maroon and is available in light, medium, and dark versions. It is strong and opaque, with good tinting strength. Cadmium Red dries slowly. It grays down when mixed with white, mixes well with blues to create a range of browns, and mixes well with Cadmium Yellow to create a strong orange. It also works well in neutral mixes. Cadmium pigments have been partially replaced by azo pigments, which are similar in lightfastness to the cadmium colors, cheaper, and non-toxic. Hues vary by brand.
Cadmium Red is usually available in either a pure grade or a cadmium-barium mix. The cadmium-barium mix has the same permanence as pure Cadmium Red, but it has a lower tinting strength.
Cadmium Red is lightfast and permanent in most forms, but like many cadmium pigments, it will fade in fresco or mural painting. Its improved lightfastness has helped it to replace Vermilion on the artist's palette.
Cadmium Red is a known human carcinogen. It is extremely toxic if inhaled and slightly toxic if ingested.
Cadmiums get their names from the Latin word cadmia meaning zinc ore calamine, and the Greek word kadmeia, meaning Cadmean earth, first found near Thebes, the city founded by the Phoenician prince Cadmus. Metallic cadmium was discovered in 1817 by Friedrich Strohmeyer, but Cadmium Red was not introduced until 1907 in Germany.

Road work affects courthouse parking
Staff writer
County commissioners decided Friday to re-organize parking designations at the courthouse during road construction on 4th and Williams Sts.
Until roadwork is completed, commissioners designated the entire west parking area at the courthouse for public use. Courthouse employees are to use the south lot or parking used by the sheriff's department.
Commissioners wrote off three loans worth $35,318 from the county's microloan program as uncollectable.
Treasurer Jeannine Bateman said the loans had been deemed uncollectable by the county attorney years ago, but since a motion could not be found in prior commission minutes, commissioners wrote them off Friday.
In other news:
- Commissioners approved a $31,581 bid from Midway Motors for a 2015 F-250 crew 4-by-4 truck for the road and bridge department. Two other bids came from Hillsboro Ford for trucks for $33,770 and $32,330.
- Transfer Station Director Rollin Schmidt said his department received a $488 check from Waste Connections for its most recent load of recycling materials. The transfer station had collected 14.8 tons in recyclables.
- Regular sales tax in the county for the month of January reached $53,771. The sales tax to pay for the jail came out to $47,261.
- Commissioners met in a closed session for five minutes. No action was taken upon return to open session.

To be in the battle for the WSK Euro Series title was one of the goals that the French driver Esteban Ocon had set for himself this season. With three podiums, including a victory, in four meetings, the karter supported by Gravity Management can be definitely satisfied with the results he achieved in this important international series. He put the leader under heavy pressure and finally conquered the title of vice Champion KF3 at the last round, held in Spain.
Exactly one week after the European KF3 Championship, which he concluded with a 9th place despite the many obstacles he found on his way, Esteban Ocon raced again on the Spanish circuit of Zuera for the final round of the WSK Euro Series. Third in the provisional classification of the Championship before this decisive race, he was determined to play his cards right until the end, knowing that he still had a mathematical chance to conquer the crown. Although the timed qualifying session, ended in 15h place, fell short of the French driver's expectations, he seemed to be very inspired in the qualifying heats, with three 2nd places, a 10th place and, at the end of the day, a return to 5th place on the pre-final grid.
"I was pretty confident because we had found a good set-up with the Genikart team during the weekend", the driver from Equipe de France admitted. "Unfortunately, during the pre-final, the carburettor needle valve was prone to jam and I was forced to battle on every lap not to lose too many places. I managed to limit the damage by finishing 7th".
In that moment Esteban knew that the title was gone, but he could still conquer the second place in the WSK. Famous for his excellent starts, Esteban carved his way through to the pack on the first bends of the final, to reach 5th after a lap. "I kept pushing until I reached the third place in the wake of the second driver, but I would have needed a few more laps to launch an attack".
In this meeting, which gathered all the best junior drivers of the moment, with over 100 entrants for the whole WSK Euro Series, Esteban Ocon was rightly satisfied with reaching second place in final classification. Gwenaël Lagrue from Gravity Sport Management confirms this analysis: "Esteban lost some points at the Portuguese round of Portimao despite taking pole position, but that coincided with his change of team, which is never simple to manage. Afterwards he had a very good approach to races and demonstrated greater maturity. All things considered, I think that concluding with a second place is an excellent result in this very hard fought WSK, behind a driver of the calibre of Max Verstappen, who has driven a lot since the start of the season".
Now Esteban Ocon expects high performances from his FA Kart-Vortex, in order to show his full potential at next World Cup for KF3 in Italy. Meanwhile, he will try to put in some brilliant performances at the French round of the CIK/FIA Academy Trophy, where he occupies an interesting 4th place.

Published January 13, 2015
Welington Castillo plated the go-ahead run with a two-out double in the top of the 10th inning, and the Chicago Cubs avoided a three-game sweep with a 5-4 come-from-behind win over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.
The Cubs overcame a four-run deficit with some clutch two-out hitting to snap a season-worst six-game losing streak.
Scott Hairston drew a two-out walk to extend the 10th for Castillo, who grounded a J.J. Hoover (0-4) pitch past third baseman Todd Frazier and into the left-field corner.
"A four-run deficit against that team, to come back -- we got some big hits," Chicago manager Dale Sveum said.
Kevin Gregg (1-0) recorded the final out with two runners aboard in the ninth and worked out of a jam in the bottom of the 10th. He issued a one-out walk to Frazier before pinch-hitter Jack Hannahan reached on catcher's interference.
The Reds, who failed to get a hit after the fifth inning, couldn't capitalize on their opportunity as Ryan Hanigan flied out and Donald Lutz grounded out.
Cincinnati, which had its win streak end at five games, got a solid performance from Johnny Cueto. The right-hander held the Cubs scoreless through the first six innings, but Luis Valbuena started Chicago's rally with a two-out RBI single off Cueto in the seventh.
"We went as far as we could with Johnny," Baker said of Cueto.
The Reds appeared headed for a clean eighth inning when reliever Logan Ondrusek retired the first two batters. Starlin Castro, though, kept the frame alive with a single and scored on a double by Anthony Rizzo. Alfonso Soriano then tied things up with a home run to center field.
Cincinnati plated all its runs in the fourth inning against Chicago starter Matt Garza.
Jay Bruce got the scoring started with his seventh home run of the season, a lined smash to the right-field seats.
Garza then hit the next batter, Frazier, before walking Xavier Paul in front of Hanigan, who sent a Garza pitch to center field for an RBI single. David DeJesus nearly made an acrobatic catch on the play, but the ball was just out of his reach.
After throwing a wild pitch, Garza fanned Cueto for the second out. With first base open, the Cubs opted to intentionally walk Shin-Soo Choo in order to face Zack Cozart. The move backfired, however, as Cozart delivered a two-run double to left.
Garza was removed after the Reds' fourth-inning outburst, and like Cueto, made his second start since a stint on the disabled list. He gave up four hits, walked four and struck out seven.
Game Notes
The Cubs beat the Reds for only the third time in the last 19 matchups ... Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips went 0-for-4 to snap his hitting streak at 12 games ... Cueto scattered four hits and walked two ... The Reds left 11 men on base.

A little motivation – Josh Rawitch
For the last 59 years, the Dodgers have been coming down here to Vero Beach, FL to train for the upcoming season and incredibly, Tommy Lasorda has been here for nearly all of them. Tommy, who enters his 57th season with the club this year, arrived last night and will be here for the next couple weeks before taking off for his official duties as the Ambassador to the World Baseball Classic.
Grady Little asked Tommy to speak to the team this morning and his ability to fire up a room still amazes me. I've been fortunate enough to hear him give motivational speeches on many occasions and while some of the stories are told and retold, his zest for delivering them is always at a level that's above the rest. It really is hard to believe that he is 78 years old. There were several young prospects in the room (including Chad Billingsley, pictured) and many had never seen him or heard him speak in person before. His passion really is unparalleled.
Equally as impressive is Maury Wills, who first came to Dodgertown in 1951 and is still wearing a uniform every day, working with the Dodger players on their bunting and baserunning. Maury is 73 years old and he's just as energetic as Tommy, though in a little different way.
And on this, his 68th birthday, I can't fail to mention Manny Mota, who has been with the team for 37 years and 27 as a coach, the longest of any coach in club history. He is so devoted to the community, it's hard to describe. He's shown me pictures of the work that the Manny Mota Foundation does in the Dominican Republic and you can't even imagine the looks on these kids' faces. He is always a tremendous help to the people in the Dodger front office and at 68 years old, still has plenty to offer the current Dodger team.
There are some teams that might take this for granted or others who aren't fortunate to have the history that this organization has, but just walking around Dodgertown makes you realize just how special this franchise is. There are legends around every single day and their devotion to this team and its fans is really something else. If you have never been, the trip is well worth it.

That's great stuff. It's awesome to see these guys still bleeding Dodger Blue. I was fortunate to meet Tommy Lasorda about 6 weeks ago. He was here in Hawaii promoting the WBC and came into our newsroom. He's such a genuine guy. When he talks, people listen. And you know he's a true Dodger when he described death as "meeting the big Dodger in the sky." what a guy. This year's team should be great. Sounds like it's all coming together down there in Dodgertown. Go Dodgers!
I play in an adult baseball league and was fortunate enough to have on our team a former Dodger pitcher, who made it to AA ball before an injury ended his dream. He told me about Tommy and said he can light up a stadium with his energy and enthusiasim. Very, VERY, VERY enthusiastic! My wife and I also had the oppurtunity to meet with Tommy and speak to him for a few moments and he is also a very gracious man. Glad to see he is still involved with team on a regular basis, and what a treat to see him in uniform during spring training. Love to see the familiar number 2 on the back of a Dodger uniform.
Crossing my fingers Frank & Jamie reach an impasse this morning in their settlement talks. True to form, Frank says they have an agreement, Jamie says they don't.
<—-Frank & Jamie! What a pair!!!!
Now that the McCourts have a settlement, our remaining hope is Bud – how ironic.
That will probably involve prolonged lawsuits. In the meantime, all good fans will provide many EMPTY SEATS starting this weekend.
If Jamie want Frank to sell, does than mean they will? I hope so. Maybe our nightmare will finally be over!
I don't think that Frank would agree to any settlement that would require him to sell the team.
This unfortunately means that they'll both be in favor of the Fox deal, so that Frank can get money up front to pay off Jamie. That means our team will suck forever, unless MLB gets both the McCourts out of the way.
The settlement is dependent on the Fox deal. Do you really think that Selig is going to approve it just for this reason or will it be "for the good of baseball"?
I thought Selig already said "no" to the Fox deal. Or, was he jut blowing smoke up our asses? 😉
No smoke – the courts can't approve the deal. Selig will either approve it or not depending on the results of MLB's investigation. God, I hope they dig up some good dirt so these ******'s have to sell.
Franks is a stubborn-greedy-son (I mean ex-husband) -of-a-B!+c#.
Just heard a one day trial is set for August 5th to determine who owns the Dodgers.
I believe we're saved, my friends.
From what I understand of the settlement, MLB would have to be crazy to approve the Fox deal at this point. MLB would be properly justified to postpone the decision on the Fox deal until after the August 5th date when the Dodger ownership is to be decided by judge Gordon. MLB could justifiably say that they don't want to decide on the Fox deal, given the chance that the Dodger assets would be considered community property and would have to then be sold to partition that asset. Why would a new prospective owner want to be bound by a deal arranged by Frank McCourt. That could only diminish the value for the new owner and presumably for MLB in general.
I also have to laugh at the idea made by Frank that the advance payment by Fox would all go to the Dodger business interests. At least a $100 million off the top would reportedly be going to Frank and Jamie and to pay their respective attorneys and other fees. Beyond that who wants to believe Frank that the rest of the prepaid millions would be going into the Dodgers. Someone who had no problem in diverting a $100 million or so over the past five years to their own personal use would have no problem in cheating the fans and MLB of the rest of the Fox prepaid funds.
new thread is up

Why don't more women hold senior leadership positions in supply chain management (SCM)?
I think there are several reasons. One obvious challenge is the lack of a pipeline in the sector, which probably results from the supply chain's historical biases and need for an image transformation. To some, this work often seems more "masculine," and educational curriculums, recruiting practices, management training programs and corporate gender roles can reinforce that stereotype. People mistakenly see it primarily as a physical job involving warehouses and trucks, when SCM actually plays an important strategic role that reaches across functions and regions and requires skillsets that align with female strengths.
In fact, recent research suggests that Fortune 500 companies with more female board directors achieved significantly higher financial performance compared to firms with the lowest number of women in these positions. And in fact, this correlation holds for supply chain leadership: while about 20% of supply chain leaders are females in director-level or higher positions on average, among the top 25 Fortune 500, this proportion rises to 25%.
What about the ways that companies traditionally hire and promote within this function?SCM departments tend to promote leaders from within, starting on the ground floor of distribution centers (DCs) or manufacturing plants. Because of the sector's perceived focus on physical labor, women might decide against applying for such jobs on their own, or their bosses could pass over them in favor of men. The perceived "lug" factor in some supply chain-related jobs and the requirement for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) expertise in other positions that involve engineering, for example, could limit female participation. Attracting more females to STEM educational paths and careers can resolve these shortages over the long term, but that could take decades.
To attract more women now, companies are experimenting with different promotional paths. For example, functions such as merchandising and demand planning already have more women in leadership roles than SCM does. Given the transferability of many of these skills, it makes sense to make it worthwhile for these women to "cross the aisle" to supply chain leadership.
Most SCM organizations have narrow recruiting funnels focused on engineering and operations degrees and experience—disciplines that tend to skew male. One consequence of this is that companies seeking greater diversity are vying for a small pool of women, making the ability to plot a viable and attractive career path doubly important. On the plus side, the current digital transformation is changing supply chain dynamics by placing a higher value on analytics, process and collaboration, which tends to open up larger pools of female candidates for consideration. The digital revolution is also making the links and integration moves between the supply chain and other functions like sales, marketing and finance stronger, which will probably boost the number of women filling these roles in SCM in the future.
Beyond these impediments, I think the rigid ways of working that some companies follow also pose a problem. They need to bake in more flexibility and support structure for things like opt-out scenarios that can make home life and work life easier to integrate, for example. Some firms also make uninformed assumptions that women might not want an opportunity because it involves more travel, a relocation or other disruptions. Instead, they need to recognize potential in women, and encourage and support them in applying for the role.
What has your company done to increase the presence of women leaders in its supply chain?
Accenture's Chief Executive Officer – North America , Julie Sweet, has embarked on a strong program to make SCM more diverse, grooming women successors, publishing diversity statistics and targeting women during recruiting. And she's launched all of these initiatives as part of a new leadership strategy that mandates change.
Additionally, the company has begun a program to hire veterans—women who are former junior military officers specialized in the supply chain and logistics—to seed our SCM team with differentiated skills and leadership talent. Hiring veterans with a wealth of experience, especially those with practical "boots on the ground" global knowledge, has been a tremendous source of talent and leadership that has driven a mindset sea change within our SCM team. While moving clothes and products can be hard and intellectually challenging, it is by no means a man's job exclusively. These women successfully moved those goods as well as bullets, food and supplies in a much more complex—and often dangerous—environment that utilized sea, land, rail, and air as necessary.
You earlier mentioned the need to rebrand SCM: how do you do that?
Companies can attract new female talent to the discipline by making people aware of the supply chain's central role in business success and the opportunities that exist within the industry. The amount of innovative technology, robotics and analytics is significant and continues to grow, but the "legacy" environment persists as the overriding perception of supply chain management. As long as it's viewed as beating up on suppliers and loading and unloading trucks, qualified women won't see SCM as an exciting career choice. And I suspect that qualitied women with an engineering background have plenty of competing opportunities to consider! That's why companies should work to change the supply chain's image to one that involves intelligent automation and robotics instead of physical labor; that has more to do with multitasking and strategy in the place of rote transactions; that highlights value delivery instead of simply executing procedures all the time. The best way to make these changes starts at the top, with a CEO who's unafraid to drive change.
What can women do who are interested in a supply chain career?
Individually, women need to know what they want, verbalize it and then go after it relentlessly. Many women only apply for jobs that they feel are a 100 percent match with their current capabilities. Men, on the other hand, will often go after positions even when they meet no more than 60 percent of the requirements. Similarly, men tend to receive promotions more often than women are simply because they speak up and ask for them. Women need to take responsibility for themselves and for their own careers. They should apply for jobs with confidence, even when they don't have 100 percent of the requirements, and speak up and ask for promotions.

1. Re: Securing JBoss JTA portsJonathan Halliday Apr 17, 2008 11:12 AM (in response to Mark Miller)
In no particular order see these JIRA issues and the forum discussions linked from them:
Basically the JTA version of JBossTS uses the ports to talk to itself. You can safely firewall them (e.g. with iptables) from remote access, it only needs loopback on localhost.
2. Re: Securing JBoss JTA portsMark Miller Apr 17, 2008 11:29 AM (in response to Mark Miller)
How can I configure iptables if the port numbers change everytime it is started? Is there somewhere I can query the port numbers in order to configure iptables or that I can fix all of the ports to specific values. Alternatively, we are running a complete standalone App server with no remote operations, but we are using EJBs internally so I could not just remove the transaction manager, is there a simpler transaction manager I could use since I do not need all of the recovery or remote capabilities.
Thanks for your assistance,

> How can I configure iptables if the port numbers change everytime it is started?
You are approaching the problem the wrong way around. As any sufficiently paranoid security administrator will tell you, you start by closing everything, then selectively open the minimum possible set of ports to make things work.
4. Re: Securing JBoss JTA portsMark Miller Apr 18, 2008 4:09 PM (in response to Mark Miller)
You are right if this was for a server we are running, but we are bundling this into an appliance where the user can configure additional ports to be open, so if we closed all ports by default we would have to change the ipTables each time the list of port was configured instead of just starting and stopping the listening of those ports. We also need to know the ports that might be opened by JBoss in order to not allow the user to configure those ports for their use.
5. Re: Securing JBoss JTA portsJonathan Halliday Apr 21, 2008 5:04 AM (in response to Mark Miller)
> we are bundling this into an appliance
Hmm, sounds to me like you need a support contract then :-)
6. Re: Securing JBoss JTA portsPeter George Apr 9, 2012 7:44 PM (in response to Jonathan Halliday)
Know that its an old thread, but i too am facing the exact same problem. When I start up our JBoss AS (version 4.2.3) there are three ports that are opened up in the 30000+ range
The problem is when the open ports are scanned on the machine a lot of TCP CLOSE_WAITS are left behind on one of the JTA ports. Is there a way to fix these ports from random to a particular range so that i can create and exception for these ports or make it unavailable remotely.

Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones Applauds Passage of SB 1216 and SB 1448 by California State Senate
News: 2012 Press Release
Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones today announced that the California Senate has passed SB 1216, authored by Senator Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach), and SB 1448, authored by Senate Insurance Committee Chairman Ron Calderon (D-Montebello). SB 1216 passed by a vote of 37 to 0 and SB 1448 passed on consent with a vote of 39 to 0. Both bills are sponsored by Commissioner Jones and the California Department of Insurance, and update California insurance law in response to changes in federal law and revisions in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Model Laws and Regulations.
"I am pleased that the Senate has passed these bills which will ensure that the Insurance Commissioner and the Department of Insurance have the authority and regulatory tools needed to protect consumers," Commissioner Jones said. "This will provide the needed response to the changing business practices in the areas of reinsurance and insurer-related holding company systems."
SB 1216 will align existing California insurance law related to credit for reinsurance to that of the federal Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank) and NAIC Reinsurance Model Law and Regulations with some further enhancements. Reinsurance is insurance purchased by an insurer from another insurer for all or a portion of loss that may arise under one or more of the insurer's policies. Since reinsurance involves a transfer of liability company to company, it is often used by insurance companies as a risk management tool. Policyholders are generally unaware of the reinsurance transaction and any direct action they may have on the policy remains with the original insurer.
The NAIC's recently amended reinsurance Models reflect efforts by the states to modernize reinsurance regulation, including responding to Dodd-Frank changes. A key provision of the NAIC changes relates to the certification of a non-admitted reinsurer. Under the revised NAIC Models, each state has the authority to certify a reinsurer or to recognize the certification issued by another NAIC-accredited state. As part of the certification process, a rating system provides for certified non-U.S.-based reinsurers to reduce collateral under specified conditions. The certification process is pivotal to permit a California domiciled ceding insurer to qualify for a credit on its financial statement under these new conditions.
SB 1448 will enact the standards of the recently adopted NAIC Holding Company Systems Regulatory Act. One principal provision in the bill would require the controlling person of the holding company system to disclose an enterprise risk. Enterprise risk is any situation involving one or more affiliates of an insurer that, if not quickly corrected, will adversely affect the financial condition of the insurer. The bill would also authorize the Insurance Commissioner to participate in "supervisory colleges." These colleges are meetings of international regulators for internationally active insurance groups to share financial and operational information. The need for a greater ability to evaluate risks within insurance groups stems from the financial difficulties faced by some affiliates of the AIG insurance holding company system during the 2008 financial crisis.
The legislation will now be considered by the State Assembly.
"These bills will enable the Department of Insurance to continue to protect California consumers to the best of our ability, and I look forward to seeing them continue on to the Governor's desk," Jones said.
The California Department of Insurance, established in 1868, is the largest consumer protection agency in California. Insurers collect $310 billion in premiums annually in California. Since 2011 the California Department of Insurance received more than 1,000,000 calls from consumers and helped recover over $469 million in claims and premiums. Please visit the Department of Insurance website at www.insurance.ca.gov. Non-media inquiries should be directed to the Consumer Hotline at 800.927.4357.

CHICAGO, Ill. - The Tennessee Tech men's basketball team will look to bounce back against Loyola Chicago Wednesday night, after suffering its first loss of the season against Evansville last Tuesday evening.
Tennessee Tech (3-1, 0-0)
Loyola Chicago (4-2, 0-0)
Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012 / 7 p.m. CST
Joseph J. Gentile Arena - Chicago, Ill.
The Broadcasts
TV: none
Radio: Fox Sports Radio, 106.1 The Eagle (Rob Schabert)
Webcast: horizonleague.com (Horizon League)
Setting the Stage
The Golden Eagles will look to avoid a two-game losing streak as it heads into the Second City with a match-up against the Ramblers. Loyola Chicago owns a 3-1 series lead over Tech, however, the Golden Eagles won the most recent meeting 87-76 in Cookeville back in 2001-02.
This game marks the 50th anniversary of the first meeting between the two programs. It also marks the 50th anniversary of the last time the Golden Eagles made the NCAA Tournament. The Ramblers defeated Tech 111-42 in the inaugural game in 1962-63, and followed that up with two more victories before eventually falling in 2001-02.
Senior forward Ben Averkamp leads the Ramblers' attack, averaging 17.7 points per contest while pulling down 7.0 rebounds per game. The Germantown, Wis. native is averaging a team-high 30.3 minutes per game.
Loyola Chicago's defense is allowing its opponents to score just 55.3 points per game this season, something that will be sure to test the Golden Eagles' potent offensive attack. Tech is averaging over 70.0 points per contest on offense and will look to continue its success in Chicago.
The Golden Eagles will combat the defense of the Ramblers with an expected improved performance from senior guard Jud Dillard, who despite scoring a season-low nine points and recording a career-low zero rebounds agains Evansville, still leads the Ohio Valley Conference in scoring with 23.3 points per game. He also ranks sixth in the OVC in rebounding with 7.8 per contest, fourth in the conference in field goal percentage with a .576 clip and first with an incredible 4.0 assist to turnover ratio.
Also standing out for Tech this season has been junior forward Dennis Ogbe. He has three games with double-digit scoring, including leading TTU with 10 points against Evansville. The Munich, Germany native leads the OVC in field goal percentage, shooting an impressive 68.2% from the field.

Caldera Changes its Captain but Stays the Course
Say Hi to the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss?
Founder Ransom Love may have stepped away from the wheel at business Linux company Caldera (http://www.caldera.com), but new CEO and President Darl McBride of Caldera will be staying the Caldera course.
In a day of many changes for Caldera, what was perhaps the most significant was how much stayed the same. Although long time CEO and President Ransom Love moved out of the executive office, he's moving right into de facto leadership of UnitedLinux, where he'll serve as first among equals in guiding UnitedLinux through the shoals of fine details needed to take UnitedLinux (http://www.unitedlinux.com) from good general idea to specific products and market strategies.
Darl McBride may be new to Linux, but he brings 18 years of executive management and leadership experience to Caldera's helm. Immediately, before coming to Caldera, he was president of Franklin Covey's (http://www.franklincovey.com) well thought of online planning business. Before that he had been CEO of PointServe and CEO of SBI and Company, a professional services company with strong IBM and Oracle ties.
While McBride may not know Linux, he does know Love and others of the Caldera executive team having worked with them at Novell. He also knows where he wants to take Caldera and that's to keep them on the course they're already on. Specifically, Caldera remains committed to its reseller channel, UnitedLinux, its older Unix platforms such as OpenServer and OpenUnix (formerly UnixWare), small to medium businesses and its distributed enterprise customers like Eckerd Drugs and McDonalds. In short, McBride says, "Caldera has the right products, services, sales channels, and employees to be a very successful company."
McBride specifically said that that the SCO Unixes are not going away. As he noted, "McDonalds isn't going to give it up anytime soon." While admitting, "customers aren't buying much new SCO Unix," he continues, "they're also not switching either." He believes that once the economy levels off, the older Unix products will sell again.
Looking ahead, McBride sees resellers becoming even more important to Caldera. Besides continuing support for UnitedLinux and its Unix products, he stated that bringing Web Services and the Volution line of server applications to small and medium sized business customers will be an important part of Caldera's future strategy and for that to happen, "resellers are essential."

The Brothertown Indians originated as a group of Christian Indians from New England and Long Island, New York, areas. As a result of the Great Awakening, a religious movement in New England during the 1740s, many Indian people in southern New England converted to Christianity, especially members of Algonkian-speaking tribes including the Mohegan, Pequot, Narragansett, Montauk, Tunxis, Wangunk, and Niantic. As these people tried to live Christian lives in New England, they found it difficult to resist pressures from Whites around them who encouraged them to abuse alcohol, give up farming, and sell their lands.
In the 1770s, Samson Occom and Joseph Johnson, both Mohegan, were determined to lead their people and other New England Indians to a home where they could live in peace and lead Christian lives. Occom, a Presbyterian minister, served as a Christian missionary to other Indian tribes as well. Following negotiations with the Oneida tribe in north central New York, Occum and Johnson led a group of New England tribal families to a new home among the Oneida. As Christians, they wanted to live in Brotherhood, and named their new home Brothertown. Another group of Algonkian-speaking people, the Stockbridge, also moved onto lands granted by the Oneida in the 1780s, escaping pressures from incoming settlers.
However, by the early 1800s, the Brothertown, Stockbridge and Oneida began to feel the demands from White settlers for more land. The state of New York began to purchase vast tracts of Oneida land, often through deception, leaving the three tribes with a rapidly shrinking landbase. In the end, they left their New York homelands for less coveted lands in Wisconsin. Moreover, the federal government lent its support to a plan to move all New York Indians to unsettled lands in Wisconsin.
The Brothertown signed five land appropriation treaties with the United States government, the Menominee and Ho-Chunk tribes of Wisconsin. In 1821, a delegation composed of tribal representatives from the Brothertown, Stockbridge, and Oneida traveled to Green Bay, Wisconsin and negotiated the purchase of 860,000 acres. In 1822, another delegation acquired an additional 6.72 million acres with both transactions solidified by treaties. The land encompassed almost the entire western shore of Lake Michigan. The Brothertown alone received about 153,000 acres along the southeastern side of the Fox River near present-day Kaukauna and Wrightstown.
Soon afterward the Menominee and Ho-chunk contested the treaties because they felt they had been misled to believe that the New York tribes wanted only to live on the land, not own it. The Menominee and Ho-chunk challenged the treaties so profusely that the United States Senate refused to ratify either treaty. A rancorous, eight-year debate followed with the Menominee and Ho-chunk on one side, and the Oneida, Brothertown, and Stockbridge on the other. The federal government finally mediated the dispute in 1831 and 1832 with a series of three treaties. As part of the compromise, the Brothertown received 23,040 acres along the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago in present-day Calumet County.
In the meantime, members from the three New York tribes had already began the trek to Wisconsin. The first Brothertown members arrived at the new settlement in 1831. In the years following, settlers began to pour into Wisconsin, reviving many problems the Brothertown, Oneida, and Stockbridge had encountered in New York. While Wisconsin lands were initially considered undesirable for White settlement, the situation changed when Wisconsin was recognized as possessing fertile farming soil. Based on these findings, the federal government decided to move the tribes further west into Kansas. The Brothertown Indians did not want to leave the lands they had so recently acquired.
In 1834, the Brothertown demanded individual title to their lands, which at the time were owned communally by the tribe. The Brothertown leaders felt that by doing so the federal government could not force them to move as a tribe. In 1837, they again petitioned for titles to individually held lands, and requested United States citizenship. Again the Brothertown believed they could gain stronger claims to their lands as landowning American citizens, thus preventing their removal westward. The United States Congress was amenable to this request for several reasons, primarily to create a lifestyle in which the Indians would become more acculturated or more American. In addition, granting the request ended the federal government's responsibilities to the tribe. In 1839, Congress granted the Brothertown Indians full United States citizenship and title to their farmlands.
The Brothertown succeeded in maintaining their residence in Wisconsin but paid a dear price for their cause. By becoming citizens, the Brothertown relinquished their sovereign nation status and associated rights. They lost recognition of their tribal government and their land was no longer held in trust. Eventually, the federal government granted citizenship to all Indians while allowing them to retain their sovereignty and tribal governments. This established a kind of dual citizenship, but the decision came too late to change the outcome for the Brothertown people.
Nevertheless, the Brothertown felt they had not lost the power to govern themselves and continued to do so until the Civil War. During the 1870s, however, non-Indians began buying up the Brothertown lands, and although the tribal council still met and made decisions for the tribe as a whole, the Brothertown lands on Lake Winnebago continued to fall into non-Indian hands. Many tribal members moved to cities such as Fond du Lac and Oshkosh to find work. Some became tenant farmers or married into other tribes in Wisconsin, particularly the Stockbridge-Munsee and the Oneida.
As time passed, the Brothertown Indians became more scattered, although most continued to live in Wisconsin, particularly in the Lake Winnebago area. Their tribal government slowly faded over time, but tribal members managed to retain a sense of identity. In 1878, Congress passed legislation to sell land from the old Brothertown reservation that had not been allotted to individuals who became citizens in 1839. To do this, a majority of the tribe had to approve the sale, and Congress appointed five trustees among the Brothertown to sell the land after the tribe had approved the sale. In the 1920s, the Brothertown joined the Oneida and Stockbridge-Munsee in a legal battle over some of their previous land holdings in New York. Although the suit was dismissed, the suit and the demonstrated unity of the Brothertown people helped illustrate the continuity of their tribal identity.
In 1950, the Brothertown again demonstrated their endurance when they participated in an action against the federal government via the Indian Claims Commission (ICC), an agency created to settle outstanding Indian claims against the United States. The Brothertown, along with the Oneida and Stockbridge-Munsee, took part in this lawsuit to receive reparation for lands the United States had taken without adequate compensation. After many years of litigation, the Emigrant Indians of New York (as they were called by the ICC) received a cash award. As a requirement of the lawsuit the tribes needed to update their membership rolls to determine who was eligible for payment.
Among the Brothertown, this obligation sparked a renewed interest in rejuvenating their tribe. Robert Fowler, a Brothertown tribal member and attorney from Fond du Lac, assembled the tribal roll. In 1978, the United States Department of Interior established guidelines for Indian tribes to regain federal recognition lost for various reasons. The Brothertown felt they had a good claim for recognition since they could provide a current tribal roll established only ten years earlier. Unfortunately, according to the guideline regulations, tribes that had lost federal recognition through congressional legislation could not be reinstated. Based on this provision, the Brothertown so far have been denied federal recognition because they attained citizenship via a congressional act.
Today, there are about 1650 members on the Brothertown tribal rolls. Most still live near Fond du Lac and Lake Winnebago, and still continue the fight for federal recognition. The tribe maintains tribal council meetings which are held regularly. Recently, they have been trying to reestablish a landbase within the boundaries of the old reservation on the east side of Lake Winnebago. Tribal members are particularly interested in gaining title to two Brothertown cemeteries. They hope to place the cemeteries into federal trust, which could also assist them in their claim for federal recognition.

Governor Cuomo and Governor Christie Announce Resumption of PATH Service from Newark to 33rd Street Beginning Monday, November 12, 2012
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie today announced that PATH rail service will resume at the Newark Penn and Harrison stations in New Jersey to Manhattan beginning tomorrow, November 12 at 5 a.m. Trains will run in both directions until 10 p.m. between Newark Penn, New Jersey and 33rd Street in New York.
In addition to Newark Penn and Harrison, the temporary line also will include stops at Journal Square, Grove Street, and Newport stations in New Jersey and at the 14th, 23rd and 33rd Street stations in Manhattan. Trains will bypass Christopher and 9th streets in New York. Disabled passengers will have access to the platforms only at Newark, Journal Square and 33rd Street.
PATH service remains suspended at the Hoboken, Exchange Place and the World Trade Center stations as recovery efforts continue. Due to significant damage that resulted from the unprecedented and widespread flooding in the PATH tunnels and multiple stations, it will be several weeks before resumption of service on the Newark-World Trade Center line and the lines to and from Hoboken station.
Port Authority officials caution passengers that they may experience extended waits and potential delays until service returns to normal. To reduce crowding at station ticket vending machines, passengers can opt to purchase SmartLink cards with pre-funded trips.
To provide additional mass transit options from Hoboken to Manhattan, the Port Authority and New Jersey Transit also will begin operating a new ferry service from the Hoboken Ferry Terminal on Monday. NJ Transit customers will now be able to take a bus to the Hoboken Ferry Terminal and then transfer to a ferry that will take passengers to Pier 79 at 39th street in Manhattan. The fare is $5 and ferries will run back and forth between Hoboken and Manhattan from 6 a.m. 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday thru Friday. Free shuttle buses will be provided from Pier 79 to midtown Manhattan.
Passengers who normally use the Hoboken station to get to Manhattan can also choose to make the ten minute walk to the Newport station, or take advantage of several other ferry and bus alternatives. Ferry service to Lower Manhattan is available from Liberty State Park and to Midtown Manhattan from Weehawken, New Jersey. In addition, NJ Transit has doubled the number of No. 106 buses from Hoboken to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in both directions.
For up-to-date information visit the Port Authoritys website http://www.panynj.gov/path/ and follow them on Twitter @PATHTweet. To check ferry schedules visit http://nywaterway.com/.
