Max Paquette beat his closest challenger by almost five seconds to win the annual Cove Lake 5K Saturday at Caryville.
Paquette, a 26-year-old Knoxvillian, finished the foot race in 15 minutes, 48.9 seconds. Alan Horton, four years his senior, was runner-up with a time of 15:53.4. The only other runner close to them was 22-year-old Anthony Truehart, who was clocked at 16:09.3 for third place. The next closest runner was almost 50 seconds behind Truehart.
The Caryville Police Department received two complaints that meth was allegedly being made behind the outbuilding out of a residence at 430 Spruce Lane.
Detective Sgt. Freddy Walker of the Caryville Police Department went with Deputy Megahn Wilson of Campbell County Sheriff's Department to the home.
Officers met William Livingston and Kelli Davison who offered no resistance to a search of the area.
LaFollette Little League Baseball All-Star teams began pool play this week in the District 6 Tournament.
The 9-10 Blue Team lost 31-1 after giving up 18 runs in the first inning of their game Monday night against Karns at Liberty Park. LaFollette was scheduled to host the Eagleton Blue Team on Wednesday at 8 p.m. Teams must win two of three games in pool play in order to advance to the championship bracket.
Tuesday at 10 a.m., Mark Hoskins and Jeff Hoskins made history when they opened 141 Wine and Spirits Caryville.
"That's what gives me a kick is the history of this," Jeff Hoskins said.
There used to be no liquor sales in Campbell County. This has now changed in Caryville.
In April, Caryville offered certificates of compliance to John Davenport and to Mark Hoskins and Jeff Hoskins.
The next step in opening a liquor store is obtaining a license from the state.
Jellico Library Director Mark Tidwell grew up riding in Jeeps. Some of Tidwell's earliest memories are sitting in his mother's arms, riding in a Jeep across Pine Mountain.
"I've got a long history of Jeepin'." Tidwell said. "The family has always had a Jeep in arms reach. My dad had a '41 surplus Jeep."
Sometimes it seems history is repeating itself.
And in the Kenneth S. Bartley case there is no doubt that is what is occurring. With Judge Jon K. Blackwood's June 2 ruling, Bartley is back at the legal version of square one.
His plea set aside, Bartley is facing the original charges filed in the case where he stands accused of killing one man and critically injuring two others. The men were Campbell County High School Assistant Principal Ken Bruce and CCHS Principal Gary Seale and CCHS Assistant Principal Jim Pierce, respectively.

Opponents Cry Foul as Arizona Copper Mine Blames Congress for Layoffs
The multi-national mining company Rio Tinto has long promised that its proposed new copper mine near the small town of Superior, Ariz., would provide 4,000 jobs and economic salvation for a local population that has struggled to find work since a previous mine closed in the 1990s. But Rio Tinto's subsidiary Resolution Copper recently announced it is laying off 400 of its approximately 500 workers, blaming the U.S. Senate for not passing a land exchange bill that the company says is crucial to its proposed operations. The land exchange would give Resolution Copper ownership of 2,300 acres of national forest land, including the popular Oak Flat campground, on a lovely oak- and cottonwood-studded plateau above the desert east of Phoenix.
On November 30 the company announced that they cannot get financing to continue operations without the land exchange, so about 400 workers will be laid off between now and March, as work on a new mining shaft and exploratory drilling projects are completed or suspended. The copper and other metals industries worldwide have taken a hit in recent months, and Rio Tinto is scaling back operations globally. The company recently announced that by the end of 2013 it would slash $1 billion worth of exploration and evaluation spending worldwide and at least $5 billion in total spending due to falling commodity prices. While the European and American economic crises have slowed demand for steel and other products that drive metal demand, China's growth is expected to still keep copper and other commodities in high demand (and thus at high prices) in the longer-term.
Meanwhile, activists and local residents who have been fighting Resolution Copper's proposal see the layoff announcement largely as a ploy to pressure Congress to pass the land exchange bill, possibly during the lame duck session before the next Congress is seated, or as reintroduced legislation early next year.
"Getting the land exchange is what this is all about, though even I didn't think they would do something so cynical," says Roger Featherstone, executive director of the Arizona Mining Reform Coalition, which works with environmental groups, tribal leaders, local residents and former miners concerned about new mining projects in the state. "They're making every effort to make the town freak out."
The Arizona Republic quoted Resolution Copper spokesman Bruce Richardson saying those who see political machinations in the layoffs are the cynical ones: "Cynics haven't invested $1billion in the project…Cynics didn't have to go to the town and tell people they are losing their jobs today."
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in a press release that the layoffs are the result of Congress failing to pass the land exchange, and he called the bill "a top priority for the state of Arizona." Media reported his office saying he'd pursue all options to pass the legislation by the end of the year. Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) continued his strong opposition to the mine, noting that under the 1872 Mining Law that governs metal extraction, Rio Tinto would get the copper essentially for free and pay no royalties to the federal government.
Arizona elected officials have been trying to push the land exchange through Congress in different forms for at least seven years. Opponents have countered that it is a bad deal for residents and taxpayers, and that it is not legal because President Dwight D. Eisenhower specifically removed part of the area in question from mining, and other presidents reaffirmed that order. San Carlos Apache leaders also say the mine would destroy areas sacred to the tribe and violate their tribal rights.
Two years ago, backers of the land exchange attempted to pass it attached to an omnibus public lands bill, an effort that failed after widespread organizing by mine opponents and public lands groups. On November 18, Featherstone sent out an action alert predicting a similar maneuver:
(Arizona Republican Senators Jon) Kyl and McCain will most likely attempt to attach (land exchange bill) HR 1904 to important legislation instead of letting the Senate decide on the merits of the bill. Because of the controversial nature of the Oak Flat land exchange, this would amount to adding a poison pill to any necessary legislation.
Resolution Copper announced that their annual funding to the mine will drop from $200 million in 2012 to $50 million in 2013. With no land exchange before spring, the company said it would maintain a staff of about 100 working on permitting and political issues, while halting physical construction and exploration activities.
Jobs are badly needed in Superior and surrounding small mining towns where other mines have closed or reduced their workforce over the years. At a recent meeting with residents, Resolution officials said they would try to relocate workers at other Rio Tinto operations. However, new jobs are surely less likely for those who need the jobs most desperately—the younger, lesser-skilled local residents employed by subcontractors.
The proposed mine has bitterly divided the town, with many supporting the idea and longing for a return to the mining-based prosperity of the past, while others say the mine would destroy a beloved beautiful area and hopes of building thriving outdoors- and arts-related tourism in Superior. While hundreds of layoffs are sure to have a significant impact on the town, Featherstone says many of the employees don't live in Superior, and the jobs being eliminated appear to include temporary hires by contractors who offer little job security and few benefits. He also says Resolution Copper should not have sunk so much money—$1 billion—into the project before acquiring the land or permits needed to open the mine. A common criticism of the hard-rock mining industry is that companies invest heavily in projects before receiving government approvals, then use their investment as an argument for why government agencies must green-light their projects.
"Even if this is based on a financial crunch and is not just extortion, it's still a crisis of Rio Tinto's own making," says Featherstone. "It shows the boom-and-bust cycles of mining. The world's economy is cooling off again, so now there's a glut (of copper). No one asked Rio Tinto to go out and do all this work without permits. Now this is a natural place for them to stop."

TIME/TV: 8:05 p.m., ESPN
WEATHER: While it was raining when I first got here and they put the tarp on the field for about an hour, it's actually been pretty nice out for the past two hours. The game is definitely going to start on time, but the forecast gets worse as the night goes on. We shall see.
UMPIRES: HP Brian O'Nora, 1B Chad Fairchild, 2B Alfonso Marquez, 3B Tom Hallion
GOOD & BAD NEWS ON INJURED PITCHERS: Two bits of information have surfaced in the past two hours that effect two rehabbing Yankee pitchers. The good news is that Joba Chamberlain made a successful appearance with Double-A Trenton today. He pitched 1 1/3 innings, allowing one hit while striking out the side in the eighth. He threw 30 pitches, 23 for strikes, with his fastball sitting between 94-98 mph. The bad news is that Andy Pettitte suffered a slight setback. His injured left leg swelled up a bit after he threw on flat ground while the team was in Seattle, but Larry Rothschild said a September 1 return is still feasible.
HIGH FIVE: In their eight games with the Red Sox so far this season, the Yankees have scored at least five runs in each, matching their second longest streak against Boston. They scored at least five against their archrival in 15 straight back in 1932.
IN CLOSING: The Yankees are 21-11 in series finales so far this season. They have won seven of their last nine.
(Note: I'll be updating the action here every so often, but I'll be much more active on Twitter. To join the conversation, follow me @vzmercogliano.)
UPDATE, 8:35 p.m.: After a quick, five-pitch first inning, Kuroda just gave up a two-out, two-run double to Sweeney in the top of the second. The Red Sox take an early 2-0 lead.
UPDATE, 9:27 p.m.: The Yankees have really struggled against Doubront tonight. Through four innings, he's allowed only one hit, but the Yanks have failed to make him pay for five walks. Ichiro has failed to come through twice with two runners on. It's still 2-0 Sox.
UPDATE, 10:40 p.m.: Martin finally got the Yankees on the board in the bottom of the seventh with a solo homer to lead off the inning, but the Yankees blew a chance to tie the game. Ichiro singled and stole second, advancing to third on a single from Jeter. But Granderson flew out to shallow left, and Tex grounded out to second to end the threat. Doubront came out of the game with one out in the seventh, striking out seven while allowing just four hits. He did walk five, but the Yankees failed to capitalize. It's 2-1 Boston.
UPDATE, 11:01 p.m.: Martin comes through again. His RBI single with two outs in the eighth has tied the game at 2-2. Walk off, anyone?

Posts: 3 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Fiat/Hymer motorhome Hi, I have a Hymer A Class motorhome based on a Fiat Ducato. I find the ride is bumpy and hard on all but the flatest of roads (and there aren't many of them around), and am thinking of fitting air bag suspension on the rear axle to help with absorbing some of the jolting. Has anyone else had the same problem and found the addition of air suspension to have helped? Cheers, Peter

Posts: 251 Thanks: 19 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Fiat/Hymer motorhome As T14086 has said, more details please. Have you checked whether the rear axle is hard up against the stopper cones? That would give a very hard ride and may be due to the motorhome being overweight. So that also leads me to ask have you checked the axle loading on a weighbridge? Curing the cause is more important than trying to deal with the symptoms!

Posts: 3 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Fiat/Hymer motorhome Hi, Thanks for responding to my query re. air bags on my Hymer van. The vehicle is a 1999 A Class motorhome on a Ducato chassis and a Fiat 2800cc turbo diesel. Max. laden weight is 3500kg, but on visiting a weighbridge reasonably loaded, the front axle registered 1685kg and the rear 1510kg. I had 4 new tyres fitted December and I contacted the manufacturer, Avon, to get recommended tyre pressures based on the above weights. They came in at 51psi on the front and 46psi on the rear. We travel quite light on holiday and the bump stops are a couple of cm. above the leaf springs when the van is stationary, but maybe the stops and springs make contact going over rough roads! I hope this is enough information for you. Cheers, Peter

Posts: 251 Thanks: 19 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Fiat/Hymer motorhome Recommended tyre pressures are low. Would give a too-soft ride with instability? Weights look OK, but only a couple of cm clearance to bump stops does seem very small. Those springs flex a lot. Try using higher pressures in the rear - up to 65 psi depending on what the placard on the door pillar says. Harsh ride but maybe not so much spring movement. Air bags would be one way of dealing with that. There are two guides on the Forum dealing with fitting air bags to the Ducato - would give you an idea of what is required. See http://www.fiatforum.com/miscellaneous-guides/.

Posts: 136 Thanks: 14 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Fiat/Hymer motorhome Agree with PeterM. far too low on the pressures. On the Maxi Van 3.5T running 215/70/R16's, recommended is 68.6 psi on the rear tyres.

Posts: 253 Thanks: 13 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Fiat/Hymer motorhome Thats about what I was quoted by Michelin, and slightly more than the tyresafe chart so I'm sure its enough. Van handbooks quote more because whitevanman is hardly likely to weigh his van and adjust pressures for each load. More likely to forget to check them and overload his van. So they quote a higher pressure to allow for this.

Premonitions Of War
Left In Kowloon
March 2004
Released: 2004, Victory Records Rating: 3.5/5 Reviewer: Lord of the Wasteland Ohio's Premonitions of War blend hardcore with thrash, grind and some cool rhythms on LEFT IN KOWLOON. Don't get too comfortable in your La-Z-Boy, though--the 12-track CD clocks in at just over 26 minutes! Why do hardcore records have to be so short? It seems like bands of this genre have a limit of 30 minutes that they cannot exceed! WHY?! Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal/ex-Morbid Angel) has taken the band under his wing and created an unrelenting CD that should earn Premonitions of War a place in the hardcore underground. The lyrics are pretty out there and don't exactly match the angst and aggression played out in the music. In the band's defense, this isn't the typical hardcore record that blends the songs together and essentially sounds like one long track. They aren't afraid to mix things up and dabble in different elements of heavy music. "Cables Hum Overhead" is a bizarre feedback-laden track that repeats it's sole lyric, "Lines stretched out to storm and torch," for nearly 5 ½ minutes. "The Octopus" features a cool groove and isn't quite as speedy as the rest of the tracks. "Layover" and "Capsule Hotel" feature some impressive double-bass drumming and "Dim Light District" utilizes a great stoner riff. While I'm not a huge hardcore fan, I do enjoy the heavy elements of the music. What I don't like are the meathead lyrics that cater to the meathead audience, but something tells me Premonitions of War aren't your typical hardcore band. I don't think you'll find them with sideways baseball caps and wife-beater shirts on barking into the microphone and yelling at each other, "Yo, punk ass!!" If there is such a thing as the "thinking man's hardcore band," Premonitions of War is it. KILLER KUTS: "Layover," "The Octopus"

My last clockday movie was in 2003, but now I've made one again.
Happy fun times.
Special thanks to Blackmagic for voice acting.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Epic Quest
-Seeing as this is one of your older movies it's not the best of quality. The drawing has some issues and quite honestly I thought it was pretty funny the way it looked all thrown together like you did the coloring in five minutes. The quality can be allowed to lapse a bit if other parts make up for it.
-The actual story for instance. I was really impressed at the length of the quest and how dedicated Dwarfinator Clock was to finding the X. The narrator did kind of push him in the right direction at the beginning and he played a major role in making me laugh as he threw several curveballs and just added to the insane randomness of the story. Overall I think you did a great job putting something together for Clock Day way back when.
-Review Request Club
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Confusing... but funny!
Epic story is epic. Well, maybe it's not really epic, but it is a lot more than I expected from a clock day submission.
The story is a bit hard to follow at times because of all the random events but exactly those random events are making the flash so funny.
I like it how even the narrator doesn't exactly knows whats going on and is as confused as the viewer. What is it that lives there on the island? Horses? Robots? Horbots? No, Robots with little black guys inside. Very nice.
Well, the graphics are very sloppy throughout the flash, but well, it's a submission for clock day, so I think the graphcis are okay the way they are now.
{ Review Request Club }
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Surreal ramble
Well, what can I say here - this is the most surreal story time that I've ever experienced. The drawing style even made up for the lapses in plot and the way that the story teller doesn't entirely know what's going on. Particularly the par with the pirates and the fact that the narrator actually makes a cameo there. Such things led to me laughing along in a bemused sort of way.
Have you considered just doing vocal work? Some people could really use your range of voices in their flash works. I know that you used Speakonia for the clock voices, but the narrator was another good voice that you've shown us.
In spite of the drawing style of this, you've made a pretty damned good piece here that is certainly worthy of mention on any day other than Clock Day, so why not submit something outside of the day itself?
[Review Request Club]
The narrator in this movie was actually voicedby my buddy Blackmagic. I used to submit movies outside of Clock Day but in the last few years I have generally been too busy to make flash movies on days outside special occasions, that's why I have been submitting less flashes.
Thank you for taking the time to review my movie.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
lol wut?
Yeah one of those haha this was true greatness minus the bad animation,the story was up there on cloud 9 and the voice acting was good but the dialogue was just hilarous along with the crazy antics,great stuff Dwarf. ^_^
Rated 5 / 5 stars

Like a Cold Compress for a Basketball Fever
Open invitation: If you're reading this, you're in time to join in this
year's NCAA pick'em fun. Prepared to fill out a bracket against the best in all
blogspace? For the
year, I've set up a tournament group at Yahoo! for the upcoming NCAA Men's
Basketball National Championship Tournament. You are invited to join the
Bloggers' Mad Dance III (ID# 37991). It's all free, no $
involved (but do bring your braggadocio). Flip me an email behind the back if you have any questions: dmueller at earthwidemoth dot com. All are welcome, bloggers and non-bloggers
alike. Group capacity: 1 winner and 49 losers "champions at
heart." At stake: admiration, glory, etc. And of course you can promote this
to anybody you'd like to join (on your blog, via email, whatever); pass it on,
in other words.
Tournament Pick'em
Group: Bloggers' Mad Dance III (ID# 37991)
Password: ewm
Set your picks after bracket assignments on Sunday, March 12. Sign up before the start
of round one, five minutes before tip-off this Thursday, March 16.
As if in recognition of my eminent wisdom and foresight, Yahoo has already put me in first place in this group, and for this I compliment them.
Posted by: collin at March 11, 2006 4:02 PMHeh. Same for me. No. 1 until I'm not. That Yahoo's a suck up.
Posted by: Derek at March 11, 2006 4:59 PMI think I'll put the whole tournament in a random guessing machine. That's probably about what I'll be doing.
Will enter asap.
Posted by: Chuck at March 12, 2006 12:17 AMI hear ya; I can't imagine doing better on my insight and analysis than I'd do on a randomization, even though I've watched hours and hours of college hoops this winter. I thought I understood the Big East, but then that melted away over the past four days (not that I mind SU's mirzculous run). Big Ten? ACC? SEC? Big Twelve? Pac Ten? I don't know who's good enough anymore...Nova, Duke, Ohio State and Gonzaga? Memphis, Florida, UConn and Texas? Pitt, Boston College, Iowa and UCLA? Sheesh. Much guessing to do.
Posted by: Derek at March 12, 2006 8:43 AMPick Nevada all the way, and all will be well.
Posted by: jason at March 13, 2006 10:03 AMN'vada, all bravada. Must avoida.
Posted by: Veda at March 13, 2006 12:37 PMDerek:
just signed up and, as usual, i'm keeping it real for my Arizona Wildcats, despite their having had their worst season in over a decade. so i prob'ly won't be much of a threat!
Wildcats, eh? Along with several others (LSU, Memphis, UCLA, Cal and Nevada), Arizona is one of the 1-8 seeds that I haven't watched a single time this season. This year's brackets have me stumped. I ended up with an elite eight that's not risky at all. If I end up not being a threat it'll be on the successes of the top seeds. Safe but boring, my bracket.
Posted by: Derek at March 14, 2006 8:25 PMDerek, looks like safe but boring was the way to go. We'll see if that continues, but there have been at least six games that were within seconds of killing my bracket only to turn around at the last possible sceond.
Posted by: Chuck at March 25, 2006 5:09 PMLooks like even that approach has gone belly-up. UConn's OT loss to GMason drops the final wrecking ball onto my long-ago broken bracket. Next year...
Of course, the games have been good all around; everything a fan could hope for.
Posted by: Derek at March 26, 2006 5:49 PMI think our brackets are all done. Oddly enough, I think I've won, which wouldn't have happened unless Florida beat 'Nova.
But as far as I could tell, my bracket was teh last one standing.
Posted by: Chuck at March 27, 2006 5:00 PMYep, way to go. Last one standing, you're right. I've paid proper tribute, painful as it is to total the points five days before the Final Four.

Maggi! Maggi! Maggi!
Earliest Childhood Memories of Maggi: When the strictly rationed half packet a fortnight, and that too cooked with healthy beans, without Masala tastemaker, and served with ketchup managed to brave the odds and still be the favorite food. Of course, many healthy lunchboxfulls were secretly swapped for congealed Maggi blobs in school. (Note to Mommy: Whatchya gonna do NOW?)
Worst Memories of Maggi: When one childhood upchuck was blamed on Maggi and the Era Of The Blanket Ban began, and lasted for about ten years (The shrink uses this as the explanation for my….condition) The ban was removed when my Sis and I discovered the facts of life, the primary one being that we were two and mom was one, and we were loud and mom could give up under certain decibel conditions.
Best Memories Of Maggi: At the Chhota Canteen in MICA, eaten every Thursday during lunch because the mess made, well, a mess on Thursdays. Made with onions and tomatoes, and cooked just right in a pan that was, in all respects, absolutely wrong. And oh! The discovery of Sakthi Stores in East Ham (again courtesy NehaVish) with 25pence Maggi packets! Maggi ki hai jo khushboo, tu kaise bhulayega…..
My Worst Maggi Experiment: Maggi with sprouted moong dal. Never, EVER, try this at home. Either guilt trip yourself into a healthy meal or have Maggi chupchaap. Ne'er the twain shall meet! Damn! Just thinking of it killed my appetite!
My Safe And Best Maggi Recipe: Sliced onions, tomatoes, capsicum, chilli sauce and chili flakes from Pizza Hut. No frying just boiling in the water. Guaranteed to bhulao most gham. Not for the fainthearted, obviously.
Favorite flavour: Masala
Favorite Consistency: Non-watery
Favorite Eating Equipment: Bowl and fork. (Marriage is all about adjustment, so now plate and fork)
Now this is looking like a meme, and I dunno if anyone reads this blog anymore, but if you do, please take up this meme if you want and leave the URL in the comments box!

Dude there is no dearth of bowls in the house. Nor have you been stopped from fetching your portion (or for that matter mine) into one. Ok go fetch a glass bowl if you do not like plastic but for Godzilla's sake don't blame it on the marriage, adjustments and such!
- neha vish said...
I made the exact same "adjustment". Switched from bowl to plate. Technically, there's nothing stopping me from eating from a bowl - but god knows why - I've shifted to a plate too!

my fav was also masala :)... but nowadays they have come up with all kind of rot..
- wendigo said...
haha i preferred chicken flavour in maggi (like most things). but grown up maggi was at Dhyani's canteen in maharani bagh hostel (a wall less cave thing on a lower ground floor - will have to draw a section to explain).. kinda not wet, with hari mirchi, no pyaaz, and with anda bhujia on top.
you say you're a fan, but did YOU ever solve the 2 minute maggi puzzle book? aha! - 3:14 PM
- shub said...
siiigh! I wanna eat maggi now!:D I looove my maggi, about once a month now! This is a tag I'd willingly take up! :D

hey, next time add a drop of soy sauce and just a bit of vinegar for that ultimate chinese noodle flavour :)tastes yummy

The blogosphere is on quite a noodly spree. And I have copy pasted the same comment at three blogs now. Any more such blogs to read? :P
My mother was totally against Maggi :((. She had this fad against it, saying it was totally unhealthy. We never had maggi in our home. My childhood encounters with it were only at friends' houses and at school. So much was my soul starved for maggi that I literally gorged on it when I came to college. The result being, I'm rather bored of it now. Really unfortunate. - 9:48 AM

Maggi is best when u dont add anything outside of the packet. Just the contents .. as it.
I dont know if u have ever tasted this flavour ..sweet and sour. Thats the best i like.
about recipe, being a single guys keeps me away from knives and onions. However, a soup packet is always helpfull!
did you ever try lemon with maggi chicken ? it brings out awesome taste!
knor has this sweet and sour soup. Put half of that soup in 1.5 glasses of water once its mixed, put maggi noodles in it. then add masala .. chicken preferred. enjoy it!
i have more .. tell me if u are interested ! - 1:45 AM

oh God! you made me long for the Maggi stand inside the IIT Bombay campus! slurp slurp!
I am not sure if Maggi is the bloggers theme at this moment. I have done a post on Maggi Club recently!

Biography of Robert Foster Kennedy
Robert Foster Kennedy is a name you will probably come across if you look up biographical articles about great neurologists. Many references to these articles are found in "The Founders of Neurology" by Webb Haymaker and Francis Schiller.
Foster Kennedy studied medicine at the Royal University of Ireland, Dublin. After graduating in 1906 he worked at the National Hospital, Queen's Square where he was influenced by luminaries such as Sir William Gowers (1845-1915), John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911), Sir Victor Horsley (1857-1916) and Sir Henry Head (1861-1940).
In 1910 Foster Kennedy was invited to come to the recently established New York Neurological Institute. The outbreak of World War I brought him back to Europe where he served in a French Military Hospital and subsequently with a British unit. Working close to the front line he had several narrow escapes, and subsequently was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur by France.
After the war he worked in the Bellevue Hospital, New York, where one of his colleagues was the legendary Samuel Alexander Kinnier Wilson (1878-1937). One day when they were making rounds, Kinnier Wilson spent an inordinate time examining a patient with lateral medullary syndrome but with signs that were inconsistent with the anatomy. To Kennedy's embarrassment Kinnier Wilson turned suddenly to the patient and asked "Will you see to it that I get your brain when you die?".
Foster Kennedy became professor of neurology at Cornell University and in 1940 was elected president of the American Neurological Association.
He was one of the first to use electroconvulsive treatment in the management of psychosis, and was the first to point out that shell shock was hysteria. He believed that this rose from an insoluble conflict between the soldier's instinct for self-preservation and his herd instinct.

TEOTIHUACÁN, MEXICO: Unleashing Your Power, Purpose & Audacious Success – To be announced
WHO IS this retreat for? YOU! The person who's ready to take their life to the next level who knows they need a breakthrough right now and is ready to step out and claim it!
Is your soul calling for a new direction and plan in your life?
Do you feel the need for a serious renovation of your mindset and limiting beliefs?
Ready to let go of that mental baggage you've been carrying around?
Does it seem like you're sabotaging your career or life in some way?
Do you feel like you're at a crossroad in your life and need to make a change?
If so, now's the time to embrace the success you've been dreaming of, create or uplevel the business that is your true passion and purpose, and design the lifestyle that truly makes your heart sing. Now's the time to let go of anything that's in the way of making that audacious life a reality!
WHO is this retreat not for?
Anyone who's not willing to get out of their comfort zone, who does not believe they are capable, or who does not believe they deserve the best in life. To be clear, this is not a vacation – this is an INTENSIVE experience designed to to take you and your life to the next level, (whatever that is for you) and to give you the clarity to make it so. Just a simple warning: you will leave this retreat on fire to implement the changes you know you need to make!
WHERE the heck is Teotihuacan and WHY go there?
Located an hour north northeast of Mexico City, the the ancient city of Teotihuacan was built over 2000 years ago with the layout of the city acting as a model for transformation and transcendence. Here we spend four days changing our dream to one of integrity, clarity – fully aligned with our true purpose – just like the ancient people did thousands of years ago.
Truly the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon are two of the most amazing sacred structures in the world – pyramids designed to focus and transform energy and light. You can't help but feel the energy here vibrating within your body as you explore the land!
And that energy is perfect to support our personal growth and development. And it's perfect for illuminating the things that have been preventing us from expressing ourselves fully and authentically in this lifetime.
What can I expect from this trip?
When you take the time to go deep inside to move beyond the limiting beliefs and thinking that are preventing you from having the life you desire – magic happens!
You already KNOW what you want in your heart-of-hearts'. And you know exactly what's stopping you (and it's nothing outside of you).
The magic of Teotihuacan is to show you what's possible, and give you the clarity to see how to accomplish it – IF you're willing to show up, step out of your comfort zone, embrace the truth of who you are – and most importantly – OWN it.
You work hard and you have big dreams. It's time to make the necessary changes and cultivate the kind of mindset you need to create the next audacious chapter in your life…
- It might be time to leave a relationship (or start a new one).
- It might be time to begin a new adventure.
- It might be time to take your business to the next level.
- It might be time to totally re-invent yourself.
- It might be time to forgive someone (or yourself).
- But most importantly – it's YOUR time to unleash your passion, purpose & audacious life!
Our Itinerary:
Day 1 (-/-/d)
Meet the group at the Mexico City Airport no later than 3:00 pm.

The Kung-Fu Master Jackie Chan (カンフーマスター ジャッキー・チェン?) is a 1995 fighting arcade game developed and published by Kaneko. It features the Hong Kong celebrity, Jackie Chan, who was also the producer of it, while it also features other actors from some of Jackie Chan's films.
During the same year, the game was later updated and retitled as Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Jackie Chan Densetsu (ジャッキー・チェン FISTS OF FIRE 成龍伝説 lit. "Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Legend of Jackie Chan"?).
The controls of the game is similar to that of SNK's earlier installments in their Fatal Fury series (particularly Fatal Fury 2, Special and 3), as well as The King of Fighters franchise. The special actions are also similar to other fighting games from the same era. The presentation and death moves were most likely influenced by that of the success of Midway's Mortal Kombat franchise, though not the first in the genre.
The player's character fights against his or her opponent in standard one-on-one best two-of-three format like most fighting games, but a match can last up to five rounds if there is no clear-cut winner in previous rounds (the game will end if both fighters lose the fifth round and no bonus points will be awarded if one wins the fifth round). Players has a character roster of six fighters to choose from at the start, each with their own fighting style and special techniques. In one player mode, after selecting a character, the arcade randomly selects an opponent. After two opponents are knocked out, one out of three versions of Jackie Chan becomes the next opponent. Unlike the Mortal Kombat series, some powerful finishing moves lack blood and gore, some don't destroy the opponents. The fast-paced action and zooming view are similar to that of numerous Neo-Geo fighting games.
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Jackie Chan Densetsu[edit]
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Jackie Chan Densetsu is an upgraded version of The Kung-Fu Master Jackie Chan that was also released the same year exclusively for the arcades, and was the very last fighting game Kaneko released before their bankruptcy in 2006. It adds a desperation move system, an improved combo system with a special combo counter above the lifebars that records the highest number of combos during a match, and an "escaping" feature where players can struggle out of combos or stand up as fast as possible by rapidly moving the control stick and tapping the buttons simultaneously. Fists of Fire also makes all three versions of Jackie Chan into playable characters expanding the roster up to nine playable characters, and makes adjustment to the character balance by strengthening and weakening the statistics of certain playable characters from the first game, while adding and removing a few moves to some of them. The palettes of Lau, Yeung and Thorston were heavily modified as well. The opening intro is a modified version of the first game's intro, but the rest of the game's graphics are not that different.
There are six playable characters to choose from in The Kung-Fu Master Jackie Chan, and nine in Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire.
- Lau (ロウ?) (actor: Lau Tak / Andy Lau) - Known for his appearances in several Jackie Chan films such as Island of Fire as Lau / Boss Lee, and Drunken Master II as the Counter Intelligence Officer. In this game, he uses karate. He was later altered in the Fists of Fire update.
- Yeung (ヤン?) (actor: Yeung Ching-Ching) - Known for her appearance in many Shaw Brothers movies including Clan of the White Lotus (as herself), The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter (as Yang No. 9) and Treasure Hunters (as Jue Gow). In this game, she uses bōjutsu. She was later altered in the Fists of Fire update.
- Sam (サム?) (actor: Sam Wong / Ming-Sing Wong) - Known for being one of the former leaders of the well-known Jackie Chan Stunt Team. In this game, he uses kung-fu.
- Thorsten (トステン?) (actor: Thorston Nickel) - Known for his appearance in Thunderbolt (as Cougar). In this game, he uses traditional martial arts. He was later altered in the Fists of Fire update.
- Kim-Maree (キム マリー?) (actor: Kim-Maree Penn) - Known for her appearance in Police Story 3: Supercop as Blonde Gunwoman (uncredited). In this game, she uses professional wrestling.
- Mysterious Lion (ミステリアス ライオン?) (actor: Sam Wong / Ming-Sing Wong) - The only original character in the game. In this game, he uses magic.
After two opponents have been knocked out, players will face Jackie Chan as he uses three different fighting styles in order of appearance. Unplayable in the original version, but playable in the Fists of Fire revision.
- Five Animal Fist (五形拳?) (Yellow) - This version of him appears as the first boss. The fighting style he uses in the game was used in some of his earliest films, including Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.
- Zui Quan (酔拳 lit. "drunken fist"?) (Violet) - This version of him appears as the second boss. Based on his appearance in Drunken Master and its sequel, Drunken Master II.
- Baguazhang (八卦掌 lit. "eight trigram palm"?) (White) - This version of him appears as the third and final boss. He is dressed in his ceremonial suit from Project A.
While Jackie Chan started the production of his then-newest film Thunderbolt in late 1994, Golden Harvest decided to film in Japan for its several racing and fight scenes. As the film crew traveled to Japan they began a search for sponsors to fund the film, and as they were searching, the video game developer Kaneko was found. While Kaneko agreed to sponsor the film, they penned a mutual deal to create a Jackie Chan-based fighting game. The deal was negotiated by Chan's longtime friend and accomplice Frankie Chan, who also co-produced the game. Due to the timing and relationship between filming Thunderbolt in Japan and signing the fighting game deal, Kaneko brought Jackie Chan and some of his actors and stuntmen of Thunderbolt such as Sam Wong and Thorsten Nickel to the offices in Tokyo in order to start the motion capture work in order to convert them into playable characters. Most of the capturing work took place in Hong Kong during Thunderbolt's production period there.[2] Kaneko's company logo is prominently displayed throughout Thunderbolt.[3]
In an interview with journalist Audun Sorlie, actor Thorsten Nickel shed light on the production and launch of the game, which was given a press conference in Sendai where Nickel and Chan were on-hand to give interviews to speak about the experiences of working with motion capture, and to perform a short fight scene demonstration which they hastily choreographed the day prior. During the conference they also revealed details about the upcoming Thunderbolt movie.[2]
Computer and Video Games criticized the graphics in Fists of Fire calling them "unclean" and "grain-laden" and that the game seemed like a "waste of a good license."[4]
The re-release was widely regarded as bizarre and obsessed with Jackie Chan, noting the fact that three different versions of Jackie Chan were playable and Jackie Chan could not be defeated or killed in a fight, only knocked down for a few seconds.

It was a warm sunny day so we choose to dine on the patio under one of the black umbrellas, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Falls Road. The host was this nice elderly man who was as charming and as sweet as they come. Our waiter was also helpful and attentive.
The menu offered a mouth-watering variety of seasonal salads, sandwiches and small plates.
Since I don't get to see my mother very often I was in a mood of feeling comfort and what better way to experience that then with an childhood favorite of grilled cheese – but only modernized for a adult palate. I got the grilled cheese with bacon and granny smith apples served with a choice of soup ($13). I choose to get the tomato bisque to complete my "childhood" meal. There is just something with the flavors of butter, cheese, apples and bacon between two slices of bread that will make just about any mouth water. The texture of the melted cheese combined with the crunch or the bacon and apple makes it well balanced. And of course when you dip it in the flavorful bisque what more could my taste buds ask for (no matter the temperature or season).
My mother got Donna's Roasted Vegetable Panini with provolone, toasted ciabatta, sweet fries and spicy aioli ($11). The serving size of both the fries and sandwich will have most getting a Doggie Bag. The vegetables were fresh and nicely roasted. The spicy aioli had a kick to it – more then I expected it to – but was still tasty.
The only down we experience on this dining experience was that my mother ordered an iced cappuccino ($4.50) and it didn't arrive till just right before our meal did.
I recommend enjoying a meal on the patio underneath the big black umbrellas and I am looking forward to try one of the enticing items off the dinner menu not only at this location but the Charles Village location.

From the Desk of State Director Colleen Landkamer
On Wednesday, March 7, I received the sad news that Gary DeCramer died. Gary was Minnesota's Rural Development State Director from 1997-2001.
Gary and I go back longer than I can remember. He was a strong advocate for Minnesota's rural communities and served as State Director when the Clinton administration was transforming the
Farmers Home Administration into USDA Rural Development, which is what we are known as today.
Current members of Rural Development's staff that worked for Gary talk about his focus on team-building and community development. During the transition to Rural Development, Gary helped everyone continue delivering and improving our programs and services. He championed USDA's new mission area, both to internal staff and rural communities we worked with. Gary also worked closely with Minnesota's Tribal communities and increased the use of our programs among the Tribal nations.
Gary's efforts laid the groundwork for the success that Rural Development would have in the following 15 years. Throughout, Gary made sure the focus remained on the people and communities that Rural Development serves. Our name was changing, but Gary never lost sight of the fact that serving rural Minnesota was the only thing that ultimately mattered.
We will forever appreciate Gary's work for rural Minnesota, but most importantly, Gary was a loving husband and father. I ask that everyone please support Gary's wife daughters during this time of loss.
Rest in peace, Gary. You will be missed.
Obama Administration Announces $15 Million Multi-Agency Challenge to Foster Job Creation and Innovation in Rural America
The Obama Administration recently announced a $15 million multi-agency Rural Jobs and Innovation Accelerator challenge to spur job creation and economic growth in distressed rural communities.
President Obama announced the challenge as part of the Administration's
"We Can't Wait"
efforts to strengthen the economy, create jobs and support business growth, particularly expanding opportunity for rural Americans and supporting new and innovative businesses nationwide.
The deadline for applications is May 9, 2012, and guidelines for submissions are available
The national effort will support rural partnerships by identifying and leveraging local assets and strengthening linkages to industry clusters.
Strong industry clusters promote robust economic ecosystems and the development of a skilled workforce, both of which are critical to long-term regional success in rural areas. Last year's 20 challenge winners – both rural and urban public-private partnerships – generated millions in matching funds, and their projects are expected to help create hundreds of new businesses and thousands of new jobs.
The Rural Jobs Accelerator Challenge is expected to give out approximately 20 awards, depending on the number of eligible applications. To be eligible for an award, projects must benefit rural communities, but the applicant is not required to be located in a rural area. Nonprofits, higher education institutions, tribes and state and local governments are encouraged to collaborate to apply for funding. Although businesses are not eligible to apply directly, applicants can also partner with the private sector on implementation.
The competition, is funded by the U.S.Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Delta Regional Authority (DRA), and the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The Taskforce for the Advancement of Regional Innovation Clusters and the White House Rural Council designed the challenge
A Sunny Future for Morrison County Cooking Oil Business
On a farm in small-town Pierz, Minn., Tom and Jenni Smude are breaking new ground in the cooking oil business.
Tom and Jenni started
Smude's Natural Sunflower Oil
in February of 2010 and have enjoyed the ride ever since. What began as an idea to grow a drought-tolerant crop
transformed into a rural small-business success story with the potential to become something even bigger.
A couple of dry seasons on the farm led to the Smudes planting sunflowers. Tom originally wanted to extract biofuel from the crushed sunflowers, but he quickly learned there were other, more profitable, uses for his new crop.
After using a bottle of sunflower oil to fry potatoes for dinner one night, Tom and Jenni were instantly hooked.
"It was like butter," Tom said. "Just awesome."
The idea to cold-press sunflower seeds and start bottling and selling all natural, high-oleic sunflower oil took shape.
USDA Rural Development recently selected Smude's Natural Sunflower Oil to receive a $298,500
value-added producer grant
for marketing and working capital.
Using a revolving loan fund established through Rural Development's
Intermediary Relending Program
Morrison County
provided startup financing in 2009. Other assistance came from the Initiative Foundation of Little Falls, USDA's Farm Service Agency, the Small Business Development Center at Central Lakes College in Brainerd and private financing.
The Smude's started selling their sunflower oil at
Thielen Meats
and Hartman's General Store, both well-known local businesses in Pierz. They expanded to farmers markets, developed a website and exhibited at health and sportsman's expos.
Business started to grow.
In the early stages, Tom estimates he sent one pallet of sunflower oil every six months for distribution in the Twin Cities. Now he sends two per month. Smude's products can be found in over 100 retail stores and restaurants throughout Minnesota, and Tom and Jenni are working to become the country's first national distributor of natural, food-grade, cold-pressed sunflower oil.
But no matter how much business grows, the Smudes know it wouldn't have happened without the grass-roots support from the Pierz community and surrounding region.
"It's all about community pride," Tom said. "Whether people know me or not, they know where my product comes from. That means something, both to us and our customers."

USDA Loans Finance Senior Living Center in Hutchinson
Dr. Steven Mulder can't enter Harmony River Living Center without smiling.
The CEO and President of Hutchinson Area Health Care wore an especially large smile during a dedication cremony for the new
senior living facility on February 29.
"When we broke ground, we imagined what could be," Mulder said. "We didn't imagine this."
Harmony River is a new 108-room senior care facility financed using a $13.3 million direct loan and a $5 million loan guarantee through Rural Development's
community facilities program
. AgStar Rural Capital Network is the lender on the guaranteed portion of the loan.
The new facility resulted in the hiring of about 50 new employees, bringing the total number of staff to over 200.

On Sunday at 4:15 p.m., five Glendale Fire units (one battalion chief, one engine company, one truck company, one urban search and rescue company, and one basic life support ambulance), along with the Glendale Police Dept. Airship under the direction of Battalion Chief Thomas Propst, responded to a mountain rescue located at Honolulu Avenue and Whiting Woods Road in the city of Glendale.
Glendale Engine 29 arrived first on scene and, assisted by the Glendale Police Dept. airship, initiated a ground and aerial search for the hikers.
After narrowing the search area, the airship observed the three male hikers stranded in a remote trail located approximately one mile up the main motorway.
Glendale firefighters were able to make contact with the three hikers and guide them back to safety. Glendale Fire Dept. paramedics assessed the hikers who were not injured.
The Glendale Fire Dept. encourages residents to bring water, a light snack and a charged cellphone with them when hiking in the mountains and hills of Glendale.
Additionally, persons hiking the trails should always stay on the trails to prevent getting lost.

Hogs Futures Rise on Signs Chinese Pork Demand May Gain
Elizabeth CampbellHog futures rose for the first time in three days on speculation that China, the world's biggest pork consumer, may boost purchases of meat from the U.S. Cattle prices fell.
Chinese pork prices rose 0.3 percent in the week ended July 7 from a week earlier, the government said yesterday. C. Larry Pope, the chief executive officer of Smithfield Foods Inc., the top pork supplier, testified today before a Senate committee on the proposed $4.7 billion acquisition of his company by Shuanghui International Ltd. in China. The deal fueled speculation that demand in the Asian nation for pork will jump.
Chinese pork "prices were up," Don Roose, the president of U.S. Commodities Inc. in West Des Moines, Iowa, said in a telephone interview. "Maybe they do try to slow that down and import more pork."
Hog futures for August settlement climbed 0.6 percent to close at 95.7 cents a pound at 1 p.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The price fell 2.6 percent in the previous two days.
Shuanghui's purchase "creates a terrific opportunity through growth in exports for U.S. hog farmers," Smithfield said today in a statement.
Cattle futures for August delivery slid 0.5 percent to $1.22075 a pound.
Feeder-cattle futures for August settlement slipped 0.4 percent to $1.5055 a pound. The price dropped for the third straight day, the longest slump in seven weeks.
