The Legend of Watson's Corner
Check out Caitlin G. D. Hopkins's examination at Vast Public Indifference of this historic plaque near her home in the Watson's Corner neighborhood of Cambridge:
The language of the explanatory plaque is extraordinary. The central paragraph portrays the skirmish as a an encounter between innocent civilians and bloodthirsty soldiers. . . .The language didn't come from such an old book, but the details (except for the soldiers' use of bayonets) did. Specifically, this account appears to be based on details collected in Lucius Paige's History of Cambridge, published in 1877—so Caitlin was off by two years.
If I had to guess when this was written, I would guess 1875. I would be wrong — this sign was erected in 2002. Perhaps they just lifted the language from a 19th-century town history.
Paige names one of his sources as longtime Cambridge resident Royall Morse, saying in a footnote:
My informant was the late Mr. Royal Morse, born in 1779, whose memory of events which occurred during his life was remarkably comprehensive and accurate, and whose traditional lore was almost equivalent to authentic history.That's rather circular, isn't it? I rely on Mr. Morse's stories because those stories were reliable.
Our daily infusion of unabashed gossip: Morse was born out of wedlock to Katherine Morse, a woman who had the job of cleaning the Harvard dormitories. His father was said to be Royall Tyler.

Northbound lanes of I-45 reopen after Haz-Mat situation
All northbound lanes of the North Freeway are reopen after being temporarily blocked this morning due to an accident involving big rig turned into a Haz-Mat situation.
A jackknifed 18-wheeler led to heavy traffic backups on I-45 northbound near Spring-Stuebner, according to Houston TranStar.
The accident occurred just before 4 a.m. Thursday morning.
TranStar reports that the scene is currently being tended to by hazardous materials officials, as diesel from the truck has spilled into the road.
Northbound traffic had been diverted off the freeway and onto a feeder road.

Think I might give Chile v Honduras a miss, doesn't look to be the the most exciting game going...
This ref's a total clown though.
Nice football!
Ha ha yep, shocking decision for that goal kick.
Quality goal, well deserved.
Chile deserved to take the lead....
The most open game of the Cup this far. Quite refreshing after all the dour defensive struggles. Chile should score two-three more goals.
Wow what a save. Save of the tournament that.
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
Too many bones, not enough CASH!!
RIP Craig
Yeah, incredible stop. Ponce could have put that anywhere though.
Chile's set piece delivery has been absolutely world-class.
Their play generally has been brilliant, they should be out of sight in this game by now.
Someone needs to explain to Gonzalez what those other ten guys wearing the same clothes he is are for.

Before spring of last year, I had only heard David Foster Wallace referenced by acquaintances and a TV show character with an affinity for oversized novels. When I was applying for my undergraduate internship at the Ransom Center, I noticed that the Center had acquired Wallace's archive and opened it for research. I knew that a course on Wallace was being offered by the University as an English Honors seminar during the fall semester, and the opportunity to combine my academic studies with my new internship seemed like a perfect way to enhance my first experience with Wallace's work. What I believed to be a simple coincidence turned out to be an unforgettable journey down the rabbit hole that is the mind of David Foster Wallace.
My first experience with Wallace was his essay A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, and I immediately fell in love with his wit and intimate voice. I would need aforementioned love to lay the foundation for my relationship with Infinite Jest, which has been admittedly rocky, yet rewarding. My professor, Heather Houser, has done an excellent job planning our exposure to Wallace, introducing us to his style in shorter, more light-hearted bursts before throwing us headfirst into the waters of Infinite Jest. She also planned two class trips to the Ransom Center to view items pulled from Wallace's archive so that we could read marginalia written in miniscule handwriting, correspondence with editors and fans, and annotations in books that he used for research. When I asked her why she thought it was so important to bring our class to see Wallace's archive firsthand, she replied, "Wallace's letters, manuscripts, and notes show him to be a painstaking writer and reader. Writing was a laborious, often distressing process for Wallace. Students see this in the sheaves of drafts and series of letters between Wallace and his editors and friends."
There is something about looking at an author's handwriting, and leafing through his personal library that grounds you. This was a person, with a life and loved ones: an actual person wrote these books I'm reading, you think, and that realization can be sudden and startling. I am not quite sure why it is easy to forget about the human element of literature, but my time with the Wallace archive helped me remember that I am studying a brilliant person's imagination incarnate.
I agree with this statement from my classmate Aaron Levine: "We as a class are privileged… most people who read Infinite Jest do not get to read it in segments and then have hour-and-a-half conversations with a room full of inquisitive minds." It has been an even greater privilege to be taught by a professor who understands the value of pushing the limits of undergraduate study, and to have access to the unique resources that the Ransom Center has to offer. The experiences I have had as an undergraduate scholar at the Ransom Center have enriched my adventures as an intern, as well as my future academic endeavors. In fact, I am planning to research the Ransom Center's collections for my upcoming undergraduate English Honors thesis.

BASEBALL: Yankees' Mark Teixeira out of WBC with strained forearm
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The U.S. team played the Chicago White Sox to a draw on Tuesday.
The afternoon probably felt like a loss.
In its first of two exhibition games before the World Baseball Classic, manager Joe Torre's team fell into a four-run hole through five innings, and needed three RBIs by Giancarlo Stanton and a run-scoring triple by David Wright to forge a 4-4 tie in a game called after nine innings.
But the game itself proved to be almost secondary to what happened before it, when Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira strained his right forearm and had to pull out of the tournament.
"He had gone into the cage to hit off the tee. I think he took about three or four, just light swings as he was starting to get loose," Torre said afterward. "It was just a freak thing."
X-rays were negative, and Teixeira was headed back to New York City, where the Yankees said he will be evaluated Wednesday by team Dr. Christopher Ahmad and Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser.
His loss leaves the U.S. team scrambling for another first baseman, and Torre said he wasn't sure whether a replacement will be on hand for an exhibition game Wednesday against Colorado.
The U.S. opens the Pool D play Friday night against Mexico.
"We're just taking names," Torre said. "But again, Tex was a switch hitter, which was ideal for us, and left-handed wise, we have a couple switch hitters and (Joe) Mauer. Otherwise, we're pretty lopsided right-handed. So we're going to have to see what's the best bet for us."
Paul Konerko may have made a strong case for consideration, going 3 for 3 and driving in a run for the White Sox. Gordon Beckham also went 3 for 3 with an RBI.
The Rangers' Derek Holland, who will start for the U.S. on Sunday against Canada, allowed a run on four hits in three innings. He struck out three without issuing a walk.
"Felt good. Felt real good," Holland said. "First time working with Mauer was a little different. I'm used to working with our guys. ... They got a couple hits here and there, but overall, I think it was a good job."
The Padres' Luke Gregerson relieved Holland and gave up another run in the fourth, and Royals left-hander Tim Collins ran into even more trouble in the fifth.
He allowed lead-off singles to Dwayne Wise and Ramirez, and then watched his team flub a run down between first and second base to leave runners on the corners.
Connor Gillaspie hit a long fly ball that left fielder that Shane Victorino couldn't catch over his shoulder at the warning track, and it bounced over the wall for a run-scoring ground-rule double. Konerko followed with a base hit that gave the White Sox a 4-0 lead.
The Americans finally answered in the sixth, when Wright hit his run-scoring triple and Stanton added a sacrifice fly. They then pulled even in the eighth on two-out singles by Ryan Braun and J.P. Arencibia and a two-run double by Stanton, the Marlins' All-Star outfielder.
Braun wound up 3 for 4 and scored two runs.
Right-hander Gavin Floyd got the start for Chicago and allowed two hits and a walk in 2 2-3 scoreless innings, and said it was an honor to face the American team.
"They have a great lineup. All these teams should have great lineups," Floyd said. "Ultimately, you try not to think about that. To be thrown in the mix that early, I kind of liked that. I like the challenge. You just try to ignore it."
NOTES: Torre firmed up his starters for Pool D play on Tuesday. R.A. Dickey will pitch the opener against Mexico and Ryan Vogelsong will pitch Saturday against Italy, followed by Holland on Sunday. ... Ben Zobrist started at 1B for the U.S. in place of Teixeira before moving to 3B and RF later in the game. ... RHP Matt Lindstrom and LHP Scott Snodgress each allowed two runs for Chicago.

Hot Spud SF
2640 Mason Street
(Between Jefferson & Beach Streets)
San Francisco,CA 94133
TollFree:(888) hot-spud
Some time back I read a review in GF in SF on Hot Spud, a gluten-free friendly potato-themed restaurant near Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco. I love potatoes and loved the sound of the place, so at the next opportunity I had to try it out for myself.
As we walked up to the restaurant I was most impressed with the sign that greeted me on the window, proclaiming their food philosophy. "Gluten-free friendly" and "Vegetarian friendly" it proclaimed. I was sold.
When I walked in I asked the chefs which toppings were gluten-free. "Everything except a few salad toppings like the wontons," they told me. Music to my ears. Then I had to decide which delightful potato creation to order from the menu, no small feat. They also offer salads that are no doubt lovely, with an effort to use organic and local ingredients, but I was looking for a potato experience. I decided on the veggie spud, which is topped with sauteed mushrooms, broccoli, peas, corn, olives, and green onions. After consulting with the chef, I decided to have the chipotle sauce on the side and I was very happy with my choice. Next time I do think that I'd customize my own potato and skip the green peas, as they are one of my least favorite vegetables. Besides, I think it would be fun to create my own potato! Potatoes generally all come topped with butter and cheese and then individual sauces, but I believe that they will leave off that base if you request it.
Given that we were near Fisherman's Wharf, I couldn't help but approve of the DH's suggestion that we order the "Wharf" spud for Kid Yum, a generally mild potato topped with crab, a lemon beurre sauce (a light and creamy sauce), corn, and with green onions and red onions on the side. To my delight Kid Yum thoroughly enjoyed her dish, and even experimented with the green onions and red onions. She liked the green onions, but the red onions were too much for her. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure to see how much she enjoyed her dish, to the extent that she stole our potatoes for herself- "three potatoes, because I'm three."
The biggest surprise at Hot Spud was the gluten-free dessert selection. Lauren Valentino had mentioned that they had a tasty Gluten-free Sweet Potato Brownie, and that was true.
But they also had a Gluten-free Sweet Potato Cheesecake made with Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free flour blend. Gluten-free cheesecake is not easy to come by, and I am happy to report upon taste testing that this may be the best gluten-free cheesecake I've had! The crust was a bit on the sweet side, mind you, but the filling was absolutely perfect and Kid Yum and I lovingly battled each other for the privilege of the last bite. The potato was good and I'd come back any time for another one, but the cheesecake is going to stick in my mind and tempt me to make it soon… So well done to the shop! They advertise on their shop page that they make all of their sauces, which is how they can declare them all gluten-free. Lovely!

Which is good, because then no one will be awake to be horrified by the looks of the new 7-series. Check out more of Alex's photography here. (Hat tip to bigtrick!)

(Phoenix, Ariz. – Jan. 27, 2006) A Yuma judge today imposed $1.77 million in criminal fines against Far West Water & Sewer in a case resulting in the death of James Gamble, a Yuma sewer worker, and injury to his colleague, Nathan Garrett, in 2001. The fine was broken down to $500,000 for the three convictions resulting from Mr. Gamble's death and $500,000 for the two convictions resulting from Mr. Garrett's injuries, plus a surcharge of $770,000. The judge also awarded over $150,000 in restitution to Mr. Garrett and Mr. Gamble's family, which will be paid from the fine.
In October 2005, a Yuma County jury found Far West guilty of negligent homicide of James Gamble; endangerment of James Gamble; knowing violation of a safety standard causing the death of an employee, Gamble; aggravated assault of Nathan Garrett; and endangerment of Garrett. Far West also faced a manslaughter charge for the death of Gary Lanser, an employee of a Far West contractor, Santec Corporation. The jury acquitted Far West of manslaughter for Lanser's death and was hung on the charge of negligent homicide.
In 2001, Gamble, Garrett and Lanser were working to remove a plug blocking sewage in a sewer tank near Mesa del Sol Golf Course in Yuma. Gamble entered the tank to remove the plug while Connie Charles, a Far West Water & Sewer foreperson, turned on a pump running sewage into the tank through another line. Gamble inhaled sewage gas and immediately collapsed into the tank. Garrett, Lanser and then Charles entered the tank to attempt a rescue. All three were overcome by the sewage gas. Gamble and Lanser died, and Garrett suffered damage to his lungs.
Witnesses for the State testified the air in the sewer tank had not been tested during the day, the workers were not properly trained, safety equipment was not available or used, and required safety and rescue procedures were not followed.
Assistant Attorneys General Christina Fitzpatrick and Mark Horlings prosecuted this case.

What Happens to My TANF If I Get A Bunch of Money?
- What Happens to TANF?
- What Happens to MaineCare?
- What Happens to Food Supplement Benefits?
- What Happens to SSI?
- For More Information
Each program, (TANF, SSI, MaineCare, Food Supplement, etc.) has its own rules for what happens if you get what is called "lump-sum income." We will explain the rules for each program.
Here are some types of "lump-sum" income that may count:
- SSI or Social Security retroactive awards
- Veteran's retroactive awards
- Insurance settlements
- Workers compensation awards
- Inheritances
- Divorce settlements
- Money you get when you sell a house, land or other things
- Unemployment
- Gifts
- Lottery Winnings
- Income Tax Refunds
What Happens to TANF When I Get a Lump-Sum?
TANF will not count the following parts of lump sum awards:
- Amounts paid out for attorneys fees
- Amounts earmarked in the award to pay for certain items, such as medical expenses. The money must be actually used to pay for that earmarked cost.
- Up to $10,000, if within 30 days of getting the money, you deposit the money in a separate account. There are only two types of separate accounts that the money can be put into:
- an account, such as a savings or checking account, that is separate from other money and which DHHS approves.
- a Family Development Account; this is a special account that you set up to pay for education, training, starting a small business, buying or fixing a home, etc. You need to contact either your local Community Action Program (CAP)or contact Women, Work and Community. They are the only organizations that can set up these Family Development Accounts. *The federal government will often match what you put into a Family Development Account. So, if you put in $10,000, then the federal government will put in $10,000!
- Money used within the first 30 days to pay health care costs for a member of your household
- Money used within the first 30 days to pay for an emergency, such as to stop an eviction, foreclosure, utility termination, car/truck repair so you don't lose a job
- Money used within the first 30 days to pay for other "essential family needs" approved by DHHS."
- Money used to pay for unexpected expenses. Examples are: funeral expenses, travel costs related to illness, repair of a vehicle; payment of day to day living costs, medical needs, clothing, and housing needs. It is not enough to put aside money for these expenses. You must actually spend the money.
What Happens to the Money Left Over from Lump-Sum Income?
Basically there is a penalty period during which you will not get TANF. The length of the penalty period depends on how much money you have and how much TANF you usually get. For example, if you usually get $486 per month and you have $12,000 left over then DHHS divides $486 into the $12,000 and puts you off the TANF program for about 25 months.
- You can sometimes shorten the penalty period if you can show that some unexpected emergency came up and you had to spend your money. You should check with DHHS before you spend the money.
Here are some examples of things that you could spend the money on and shorten the penalty:
- funeral expenses
- travel costs related to illness
- repair of a vehicle;
- payment of day to day living costs
- medical needs
- clothing
- housing needs, including payment to prevent an eviction or foreclosure
- payment of utility bills to prevent a disconnection.
It is not enough to put aside money for these expenses. You must actually spend the money. You can also not pay bills ahead of time. You must wait until it becomes an emergency.
To avoid the lump-sum penalty, you can:
Stop your TANF the month before you expect to get the lump-sum money. For example, if you expect to get the lump sum in July, then in June drop out of the TANF program. You need to do this as early as you can in June. If you do get TANF in July, even after you have dropped out of TANF, do not spend the TANF and contact your DHHS eligibility specialist right away to return the money.
This will not work after the fact. You can not get the money in July and call DHHS in July and say: take back my TANF for July.
Once you spend your lump-sum below the TANF limits, re- apply for TANF. Keep receipts on how you spend the money, so you can prove that you no longer have it, when you go back in to re-apply. Again, you only have 30 days from when you get the money to spend it down below the $2000.00 asset limit.
Go here if you want to read the official TANF program rules.
What Happens to MaineCare When I Get a Lump-Sum?
- The lump-sum is considered to be "income" in the month that you get the lump-sum. You need to report to DHHS that you have gotten any income. You must report this within 10 days of getting the money. (SSI lump sum payments do not count as income.)
- The lump-sum will not end your MaineCare for the month in which you get the money. For example, if you get the lump-sum in July, you keep your MaineCare for July. You do not have to pay anything back.
- In the next month, anything left over from the lump-sum counts as an "asset." It will count against the asset limits in MaineCare. You need to get your lump-sum, and any other assets, below the asset limit by any time in the month after you get the lump sum; otherwise you may lose your MaineCare.
Example: You get a lump-sum in July. It will count as an "asset" in August. Basically, you can keep your MaineCare if you get your assets down below the limits on any day in August. The basic asset limits for MaineCare are:
- $2000 if you are an elderly (65 or older) or disabled person ($3000 for a couple)
- $2000 if you are age 19 or older.
- $8000 if you are a disabled person who is working and under the Working Disabled program.
** There are no asset limits for parents, children under age 21, for pregnant women, for foster children or those getting Transitional MaineCare.
Some things will not count as lump sum income.
For example, amounts set aside in any lump sum insurance award to be used to pay for specific purposes, such as to pay attorneys fees or medical expenses do not count for up to six (6) months.
Some assets do not count.
Here is a partial list of assets that will not count:
- one vehicle (e.g. car, truck, motorcycle, snowmobile)
- a second vehicle if used to get to work, medical appointments, training, or to perform other essential activities. (A vehicle modified to be used by or to transport someone with a disability is also not counted.)
- a third vehicle, subject to certain limits.
- furniture and other household goods used for day to day living, including basic jewelry, like a wedding ring.
- house and lot, (it must be your primary residence)
- burial plot or burial insurance
- clothing
- money set aside in what is called a Family Development Account or an Individual Development Account
- $8000 of savings for an individual, $12,000 for a household of 2 or more people
- assets of a step-parent (unless getting MaineCare)
- assets used to produce income or goods for home use
- retroactive SSI or Social Security awards to the elderly or disabled do not count as assets for 9 months
Keep receipts for how you spend your money.
- If you don't get your money below the limit, for at least one day during the month, then you will lose your MaineCare. You can get your MaineCare back, once you go below the allowed limits for assets.
In spending your money, you need to be careful. Sometimes you are allowed to make gifts of your money to other people and that is legal. Sometimes, you may risk losing your MaineCare if you do this. You need to speak with a lawyer before giving away any money.
Go here if you want to read the actual MaineCare rules.
Food Supplement
What Happens to Food Supplement Benefits When I Get a Lump-Sum?
Lump-sum payments do not count as income. For adults living with children, there are no asset limit for the Food Supplement program. For all others, there is a $5000 liquid asset limit. Therefore if you keep your lump sum after the month of receipt and have not spent it on something that does not count (things lie furniture, house, retirement account, etc. and it is over $5000, then you may lose your Food Supplement benefits.
Go here if you want to read the actual Food Supplement rules.
What Happens to SSI When I Get a Lump-Sum?
Lump sum payments count as income in the month that you get it. In the next month, the lump-sum counts as an asset. Here is what happens to your SSI.
First, Social Security will look to see if the lump-sum you got puts you over the income limits for the month you got both SSI and the lump sum.
For example, you get $734 of SSI in October. You then get a $20,000 lump sum in mid-October. Since you are over the income guidelines for October, Social Security will send you a notice that you were overpaid SSI for October. They will try to collect that $684 from you by reducing your future SSI payments. You can ask Social Security to "waive" the overpayment. Go here for more information on overpayment.
Second, the lump-sum you get will count against the $2000 limit on assets for a single person and the $3000 limit for a couple getting SSI. When Social Security looks to see if you are over the asset limit, they look at the first day of the month.
Example: You get a lump sum in October. You spend it down below the asset limit before November 1st. You will not have an asset problem for November.
If your lump sum is from a back award of SSI or Social Security, then special rules apply. For the first 9 months any back award will not count as an asset. It is important to keep this money separate from any other money that you have.
If your lump sum is to replace an asset that was destroyed or damaged, then the lump sum may not count for 9 months or more. This happens when the money you get is to replace something that Social Security does not count.
Example: You own a car. The car is damaged and you get an insurance settlement so that you can fix or replace the car. That money you get will not count for 9 months.
Social Security will not count any part of the lump sum that goes toward paying your legal fees. In the case of an accident settlement, if medical expenses are paid, that money will not count.
Here are some things that you can spend your lump sum on. These will not count against the $2000/$3000 asset limit.
- Buying or repairing a home. (If you sell your home and then plan to buy a new home, you can keep the sale money for up to 3 months, and it will not count as an asset or income.)
- Household goods, such as furniture and clothing
- One vehicle of any value
- Property used in trade or business (for example, tools if you have a business)
- Money or property set aside for a Program to Achieve Self-Support or PASS. This is a plan that you come up with and that Social Security must approve. It is a plan for you to go back to school, start working, set up a business, etc. Social Security then will not count the income or assets that you use for your PASS plan.
- Life Insurance (up to $1500 cash surrender value)
- Burial spaces and burial contracts are not counted. You can also set aside burial funds up to $1500 in a separate account.
There are other things that will not count as assets. This is just a list of the most common things that do not count.
Note: This information is general; it cannot address every circumstance.
If you have questions about whether something counts as an income or an asset for any program, seek legal advice. Contact Pine Tree Legal or MEJP.
