WASHINGTON • Presidential candidate Jon Huntsman won an unlikely and probably unwanted endorsement Tuesday from Tim DeChristopher, a Utahn and climate change activist.
DeChristopher, writing from his federal prison cell where he's serving a two-year sentence, offered his support to Huntsman saying he'd make a better leader for the environment than President Barack Obama and encouraged climate change activists to coalesce around the former Utah governor's campaign.
"The climate movement could also rock the boat by campaigning for Jon Huntsman right now," DeChristopher wrote to the website, Grist.com, which has published occasional letters from him. In addition to teaching Democrats that they can't take environmentalists' votes for granted, he said, "I genuinely believe that Jon Huntsman would make a better president than Obama."
DeChristopher who was convicted of two felonies for making protest votes during a December 2008 federal oil and gas lease auction with no intention of paying for them says in his letter that Huntsman showed "integrity" as Utah's governor while up against a Legislature "that makes the U.S. House look sane."
"He has guts, which is more than anyone can say for Obama," DeChristopher wrote. "If Huntsman wanted an endorsement from a lefty activist felon in prison, he would have it."
Huntsman has struggled in his White House bid but refused to distance himself from a politically dicey belief that climate change is human-caused and needs to be addressed.
Huntsman's campaign acknowledged DeChristopher's endorsement but quickly steered the conversation back to the candidate's economic plans.
"We hope he has relatives in New Hampshire who can support the candidate who has offered the most conservative, pro-growth jobs plan in the field," said Huntsman spokesman Tim Miller.
DeChristopher's support isn't likely to ding Huntsman's hopes in New Hampshire, which holds the first primary contest in the nation. And with economics and jobs as the key issue, environmental causes appear to be on voters' back burner.
"I don't think there are 100 GOP primary voters who vote on climate issues, so I don't think it has any effect," says Fergus Cullen, a former New Hampshire Republican chairman.
But Huntsman could draw some independents who like his approach to climate change compared to his rivals' efforts to disavow humans' role in the problem.
Brigham Young University geoscientist Barry Bickmore, a Republican who speaks out on the importance of dealing with climate change, said he also would back Huntsman in sticking with the science.
Like DeChristopher, Bickmore said he would like to put climate change at the top of the agenda for more voters.
But the GOP, with candidates like Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich backing away from the issue, it appears as though the GOP is becoming an anti-science party and imperiling its own future as a result, Bickmore said.
"If the Republicans don't get together and stop pretending the problem doesn't exits," he said, "in a couple of decades it will become so apparent that we were in denial about this that the party will be gutted, we'll be turned out on our ear."
Huntsman has warned much the same thing in recent debates.
Randy Simmons, the Charles G. Koch Professor of Political Economy at Utah State University, agreed that Huntsman's stance on climate change might position him to build support among a broader philosophical spectrum possibly beyond the 2012 election.
"If he can pick up votes from lonely, left-leaning voters, he could do reasonably well in a general election," said Simmons, a libertarian who said his comments were his own and not the views of the university. "The trick is for him to get through the primary, and I don't think he can do that."
DeChristopher has no illusions about that either, writing in part, "Of course Huntsman can't win his party's batshit crazy primary."

Madhuri and moi at Remembering M.F.Husain
Madhuri Dixit's timing couldn't have been better! There I was at the podium in the middle of a sweet anecdote ( we all have our favourite Husain stories) about M.F.Husain, and how he had come to our home with the 'Gajagamini' dvd and talked for close to three hours about his love for Madhuri and the true meaning of 'mohabbat'.Boom! As if on cue, Madhuri walked in with her small entourage. She took her place in the front row gracefully and smiled through the narrative. Since Madhuri wasn't a scheduled speaker, I requested one of the organisers to invite her to say a few words about the great artist who was fida over her ( after checking with her, of course). She graciously agreed, and even though she had not formulated a speech, she spoke spontaneously and from the heart. She really is in a league of her own - refined, mature, intelligent. Class always tells.
It was a very special evening, and I am happy to report, the main hall of the famous Jehangir Art Gallery was packed to the rafters with genuine friends and admirers of Husainsaab ( including 200 students!). The speeches were patchy, but Nadira Babber's was outstanding ( even if , as a senior theatre artist, she had probably rehearsed every word and dramatic pause!).
I am off to the Star Majhaa Awards. And looking forward to meeting Anna Hazare. I want to figure out for myself what his magic is all about. If possible, I shall tell him to call off his threatened fast. That tactic will no longer work - not even with his countless admirers.

Hi Shobhaa,really nice pic. Genuineness is such a beauty which always falls short of words or art for appreciation, perhaps that is what Hussain Saab tried to share or spread all throughout his life. Ditto for you and Madhuri in their respective fields,straight from the heart...just wish and Pray that all such hearts connect in a straight line and polarize all other random points to extend the line even further..Amen..

MF Hussain was a great artist and it saddens me no end that he died in exile. India failed him.
I have always adored Madhuri Dixit..one of my favourite actresses!
Now, I cant wait to read your post on Anna Hazare!!
PS: You both look lovely in the pic.

I fail to see the magic of Anna. I had met him as a hopeful, optimistic student when he first cmae out against Maharashtra's political leaders.
After that meet and what Anna Hazare has been saying and how he has been saying...I can describe him as a loose "cannonball".

Anna must concentrate on black money first and we want to see 26 names whom government is trying to protect by all means. That 26 names holds the key.

Madhuri looks stunning in this pic...as always! Wouldn't comment on you at all since you already know how to look 30 even at the age of 60. Madhuri on the other hand is a true inspiration. There's no dancer like her in the entire industry. She literally holds the number 1 spot anytime, anyday... doubt anyone would disagree with me!?!

Okay so one of the things that I am adding to our living room walls is the board and batten wall finish. We've done it before a few times in our very first house over 10 years ago, and in our third house living room. Can I admit that I am a little tired of board and batten? Or at least I am board of the board and batten wainscoting.
The issue comes down to the fact that I love moldings. I need to be surrounded by moldings, apparently they didn't make into Maslow's hierarchy of needs for living, but they might make my list for adding joy to my life.
So I wanted the wall to have some texture. More of a background than a large statement. And since we have that farmhouse vibe going on I started looking at farmhouses and barns like this one. See how the little side shanty has baord and batten?
Then I found these other great options Image 1, image 2 and image 3 sources.
So the idea was born, of a full board and batten wall that is smaller scale and closer together, more like an exterior wall.
Board and Batten Wall Tutorial
I really liked the style of these walls, more for the fact that it isn't really a wall finish, more of a subtle texture. So I decided to go ahead and try this as a texture builder in the space.
1. We started with a huge base molding. We just used a 1″ x 8″ mdf piece. Plain and simple.
The stair used to be wrapped with carpet, but we wanted to avoid that and clean up the look. We built out the stair a bit and then wrapped it with the MDF. We got lucky and the MDF was the exact same height as the stair (and no we didn't plan that)
2. After the base was installed we did the crown. We opted for simple rather than ornate look. We chose just a 1″x4″ Mdf. We ran one on the wall and one on the ceiling to create a wrapped corner look.
Start by using the ceiling piece as a spacer, push the wall piece up to the ceiling piece and nail in place (you will need a helper to do this, which is why we didn't get any pictures)
3. Now install your ceiling piece.
*TIP* We didn't have joists to nail to on this portion of the ceiling. You can use anchor bolts for a LOT of extra work or you can do what we did. A good tip for helping the board to stay in place it to nail 2 nails at a 45 degree angle to the right and then immediately turn your nailer the other direction and add two more in a 45 degree angle to the left that way. This way there is a "V" effect on the nails that holds the boards in place. The "v" acts like an anchor. I wouldn't do this with heavy beams, but for a light weight molding it works well.
Now that the top and bottom moldings are in place it is time to add the battens! In the past we have used 1×4 or 1x 2's that are the same thickness as the upper and lower molding. But this time I wanted the battens to be small and insignificant. So that generally they just added a light texture without making a large statement.
At our local home depot they have some 3 3/4″ x 1/4″ thick unpainted MDF strips. They are called something like MDF Bending boards, they were actually in the lumber isle near the plywood and NOT with the moldings. They are a great prices and they were wide enough to be ripped in half to create the subtle look I was going for, so two for one! Score!
Because we cut ours in half we took the time to sand down the top two edges of the board to make sure the battens look clean and do not have rough edges.
*TIP* Any cut edges of MDF always needs sanding. Because it is so smooth you will really see the imperfections once you paint if you skip this step.
4. Install battens. Be sure to make your spacing perfect. Follow this board and batten spacing tutorial and you will NOT look like a beginner! Mark out the spacing.
Now place the bottom of the batten according to your spacing and nail once, near the bottom of the board just to hold it in place according to your spacing mark. Place a level on the side of the batten board and get it aligned properly. Then nail in place again. Secure to that wall with a few more nails.
5. Patch the holes and caulk the edges of the battens next to the wall to minimize any cracks, which then to make a project look unfinished. (of course there are no pictures of the caulking actually happening cuz I did that part!)
6. Paint (Sherwin Williams High Reflective White) oh the difference the paint makes! See how the battens just sort of melt in to the wall, there is a slight textrue but they are not the focal point! And then the angels sang! YAY!
For painting the trim next to the floor, I used heavy weight scrap book paper as a "drop cloth" of sorts. It moved along easily and slid under the gap of the base boards perfectly, no taping required!.
Obviously the stair is not quite done inthe picture above… but the wall sure is! Booyah! What to you think if the simple texture see below for the full effect!!?
(The truth is we did this project plus about five other in a time crunch. Technically every single thing from this post in one week and we didn't die! (barely) So we have another wall to do, but we will get to that soon enough.

This is the Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parcel it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
1st Gear: Feds Push Ahead With Rules On Black Boxes
The Detroit News says NHTSA has dealt a blow to efforts by car companies to delay rules governing black boxes. The rules are going to go ahead on Sept. 1, although the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers tried to push them back to Sept. 13. Black boxes — officially event data recorders or EDRs — collect data about the seconds leading up to a crash and can help investigators determine the cause. We heard a lot about EDRs during the controversy over sudden unintended acceleration involving Toyotas. EDRs don't have as much information as a jet's black box, but the data is important.
NHTSA pointed out that the new rules have been final since August 2006, and that implementing them has already been delayed by two years. The Alliance said that some automakers with older-generation EDRs may simply disable them in order to comply with the new regulations. The rules don't require cars to have EDRs, but they standardize the information that the EDRs collect, and make retrieving the data easier. Devices must record 15 data elements, including vehicle deceleration, in specific formats.
2nd Gear: Bailout Costs Keep Getting Bigger
Agence France Press says the cost of the federal auto bailout has grown by another $3.3 billion. In a report to Congress, the Treasury Department estimates that the cost to taxpayers is now $25 billion, based on figures through May. 31. That compares with an estimated loss of $21.7 billion as of Feb. 27, and it's a big contrast to a year ago, when Treasury estimated the loss to taxpayers at $14.3 billion. The figure keeps rising because General Motors' stock price keeps falling. The shares have lost 15 percent of their value since March.
3rd Gear: Hyundai Is Working On A 3-Series Fighter
Automotive News (sub. required) reports on Hyundai's future products, and says they include a rear-wheel drive luxury sports sedan. It's code-named "RK" and Automotive News says it will be based on the platform that's used for the Genesis coupe. Don't put down your deposit just yet: the RK isn't due in showrooms until 2015. In other Genesis news, Hyundai is revamping the sedan and plans to offer it for the first time with all-wheel drive. It's due to hit showrooms late next year as a 2014, although Automotive News says more changes could take place in the 2015 model.
4th Gear: GM Is Marketing Junk — Bonds, That Is
Dow Jones reports GM's financial unit is back in the bond market for the first time in 15 months, at prices that the car company has never seen before. The five-year bonds, which carry a "junk" or speculative rating, were launched at a yield of 4.75 percent, according to a person familiar with the transaction. According to Dealogic, this is the first sub-5 percent coupon bond ever sold by GM Financial Co., underscoring the low rates that the country's financial situation lets companies offer. Parent General Motors has never sold a bond at rates that low, either. The coupon rate is the premium that a bond buyer collects for basically loaning a company money.
Dow Jones says this is also the first five-year bond from GM since at least 1995, according to Dealogic records, which don't go back any further. The unit last sold $500 million worth of bonds in May 2011, paying a 6.75 percent coupon on seven-year paper. You can't go buy these bonds, unless you're a big institutional investor, because they aren't registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. What does this all mean? Well, it shows that even if GM's common stock is dropping in price. GM is confident enough in the market that it can go out and sell $1 billion in bonds. However, it also shows GM isn't going to offer a big premium just to get somebody to purchase its paper.
Reverse: A Big Day In Labor History
On this day in 1980, workers in Gdansk, Poland, seized the Lenin Shipyard and demanded pay raises and the right to form a union free from communist control. The massive strike saw the rise to prominence of labor leader Lech Walesa, who would be a key figure in bringing an end to communist rule in Poland. Walesa had been fired from his position at the shipyard in 1975, and was arrested numerous times before the shipyard blew up over government austerity measures. Walesa banded four labor unions together and into one movement called Solidarity. It took another decade, but the commies eventually were ousted and Walesa elected Poland's first independent leader since the end of World War II. He won the Nobel Peace Prize and hopefully gets free drinks in every bar he ever visits.
In keeping with our new discussion system, here's a place for you to own the floor. We're asking each day what you think about an issue that comes up in TMS. Or at least, that's what we usually do in this spot.
Today, let's offer some automotive advice to my nephew, Ben Maynard. It's his 21st birthday, and he's about to be a senior at the University of Michigan. He's (hopefully) headed for med school, and eventually he'll be buying his first car. So, what should Ben buy? Should he get a beater that he can afford while he pays off his student loans? Or something hot for a young doc? Remember there's no right answer or wrong answer. It's Neutral.

In the 16th century, Gil de Hontañón took up the task of restoring the building. From this period are the high chapel, crowned by starred vaults, and the sacristy. When Hontañón abandoned the restoration project, Sancho de Cabrera took over the efforts, building a nave that he covered with ogive vaults. In the exterior, the most remarkable elements are the two portals, which end on a pointed arch, framed by an alfiz. Inside, the Alonso Berruguete's reredos stands out, as well as a gorgeous Renaissance grille made by Francisco Núñez and the carved images of the Christ of Miracles, Our Lady of Esclarecida and Jesus of Nazareth.

Yesterday on Fox News, Michelle Malkin mocked the suicides of three Guantanamo Bay detainees. Her reaction was so out-of-line that even O'Reilly took exception. Watch it:
Full transcript below:
MALKIN: And really, the reaction to the suicides should be, "Boo-freakin-hoo."
O'REILLY: Well, I don't know about that. I don't want anybody, you know, killing themselves, but I do believe it was a political statement. Anyway —
MALKIN: Exactly.
O'REILLY: If I were in Guantanamo Bay, and I couldn't get out — and these guys will never get out, believe me — I might commit suicide too.

Bungie's next original creation, Destiny, is now more than just a name and some concept art.Throughout the week, I keep a Word document on my computer desktop where I paste in quick notes and links for the next Tuesday Newsday. I usually end up with four or five when Monday evening rolls around, a practical length for an article like this.
However, this week I have over a dozen, so I have had to prune away some of the less interesting stories and keep only the best of the lot. Even so, this is going to be a long one…
Bungie finally unveils their new IP
One word, "Destiny", and a weird triangular logo. That's all we've had for months, teasing the brand new game from one of the most popular studios on the planet.
Far back in 2007, Halo creators Bungie announced they had secured their independence from Microsoft and were striking out on their own to create new intellectual properties (IPs). Three years later, they announced a long-term publishing deal with Activision, which would include several new IPs that would remain Bungie's property.
In November, there was a leak – a title and a logo, some meaningless concept art, and some very vague plot details. Bungie responded by confirming the title and logo were genuine and releasing some more concept art. After that, silence.
This week, Bungie has finally unveiled some substantial detail about Destiny, though many of the specifics are still quite vague. We now know that it is an always-online massively-multiplayer first-person shooter, and that it will be console only – Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and "future consoles" only, no PC. While even more concept art has been released, maddeningly there is still no gameplay footage, or even stills.
The concept is that humanity has been nearly destroyed by natural disasters, and a roving alien intelligence saved a small human community from total extinction. This community has grown and thrived thanks to their protector, and are now striking out into the devastated earth to reclaim it. They quickly learn that they are not alone: many diverse alien species, all of them apparently hostile, have taken up residence on the deserted world, and humanity will have to fight if it wants its home back.
No release date had been announced, but the loose launch window is late this year, presumably in time for the Christmas shopping season. Check out Bungie's video documentary if you want to know a bit more.
Telltale announces Walking Dead sequel
Well, this could get confusing. Telltale Games, the creators of the popular and critically acclaimed Walking Dead episodic game series that snagged a host of "game of the year" awards, have announced they are creating a sequel. Labelled a "second season", it will once again be an episodic release, and Telltale has revealed that the huge success of the first season of The Walking Dead is going to affect how they design games and do business from now on.
The only problem is that there is already a Walking Dead game coming out in 2013. Published by Activision, The Walking Dead: Survival Instincts will be a first-person shooter survival game. Rather than being based directly on the comics, as Telltale's adventure series was, it will be based on the Walking Dead TV series, which has stamped its own style on the franchise.
The shooter is due out in March, while no release date details have been given for Telltale's second outing.
Steam starts selling Linux games
It was pretty much an inevitability after Valve boss Gabe Newell called Windows 8 a "disaster for gamers" and declared Linux to be the open and free future for PC gaming, but this week it actually happened: Steam has started selling games for Linux. While Steam promotes Ubuntu as their favourite "flavour" of Linux, it appears to support a variety of distributions.
The launch is a quite spectacular one, with Steam listing over 100 games for sale to Linux users on day one, a huge improvement over the launch of their Mac OS X support in 2010, with around 50 games available. Considering Mac OS X users now have over ten times that many to choose from, this promises a bright future for Linux-based gaming.
Even so, there are few high-profile games available so far. The vast bulk of the launch day titles are independent releases, and while many of them, such as Bastion, FTL: Faster Than Light, and World of Goo have found some mainstream success, they lack the star power of Portal 2, which was the flagship of the Mac OS X launch.
Still, it is early days, and those in the market for a bargain would do well to check out the Linux launch sale: every Linux-enabled game is on sale, even for Windows and Mac users.
A plethora of game delays
Several high profile games have been delayed in the past couple of weeks, with perhaps the highest profile of the lot being Grand Theft Auto V, which has slipped back to September after initially being announced as a northern Spring release (March to May). Rockstar said the delay was to polish the game more and make sure it would be as good as possible.
Last week we talked about Rayman Legends, which was both announced as a cross-platform title and also delayed until September. Wii U fans were angry when publisher Ubisoft admitted that the Wii U version, which was originally supposed to be ready in November 2012 for the launch of the new console, is finished, but will not be released until the PS3 and Xbox versions are ready later in the year. This does not say good things about Ubisoft's faith in the value of the Wii U.
This week, Naughty Dog fans emitted a collective groan of disappointment when the creators of the phenomenal Uncharted series revealed that their new project, The Last of Us, has slipped back a month from May to June. The highly anticipated PS3 exclusive was, like GTAV, delayed in order to finish off the final polish and make sure it was ready for release.
It's official: 2K has the WWE games licence
Wrestling fans can finally let out a sigh of relief. The fate of the WWE wrestling licence was not officially revealed during the massive sell-off of THQ's assets several weeks ago, but rumours were circulating that 2K Sports, the label behind NBA 2K13 and many other popular sporting titles, had picked it up. Those rumours have now been officially confirmed.
The details are still a little hazy, but it appears that 2K's parent company Take Two has retained the services of Japanese studio Yuke's, which had been creating THQ's wrestling titles for them for several years. Some fans have expressed disappointment over that last fact, as they felt Yuke's was stuck in the past, and the franchise needs a breath of fresh air.
As for whether there will be a WWE game out this year, there is no word currently.
All Australian states now have R18+ rating for games
Queensland has finally caught up with the rest of the country, with its state parliament belatedly passing legislation to put the R18+ rating for games into law.
The decision was marked with several snafus, with the most prominent being the Queensland Attorney General's website publishing a press release announcing the new legislation before the vote had taken place. The vote was then delayed again and again, and for a while seemed likely to slip backward into the next sitting of parliament. In the end, though, the vote occurred and the legislation was passed into law.
Had there been further delays, we would once again have seen the situation we had in the 1980s and 1990s when Queensland premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen placed more stringent restrictions on video rentals, leading to many notorious horror films carrying the famous "banned in Queensland" sticker. Any R-rated games released in the rest of the country would have been banned in Queensland. Thankfully, this legislation means that the new classification scheme is now standard across all states and territories.

LearningMelanie Hilton '07 receives Ambassadorial Scholarship from Rotary Foundation
Melanie Hilton '07 is the recipient of a prestigious 2007-08 Ambassadorial Scholarship, awarded by the trustees of The Rotary Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International, to achieve world-wide goodwill.
Hilton was sponsored and will be supported by the Cambridge, Ohio, Rotary Club and will study next fall at the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, England, where she has been assigned to act as an ambassador of good will for Rotary International. Hilton will also pursue an advanced degree in international affairs at the University of Sheffield.
"The Rotary Club of Cambridge, Ohio, is extremely proud to sponsor Melanie Hilton as our club's first Ambassadorial Scholar. I was very impressed with her credentials, her international travel experience, and her maturity," said Dick Brixner, past district governor of Rotary International.
"Ms. Hilton will be a great ambassador for Rotary, and will make the Rotary Club of Cambridge and Muskingum College very proud," he added. "We look for great things from her in the future and her attitude will go a long way toward world peace and understanding." Brixner is the Ambassadorial Scholar counselor for the Cambridge Rotary Club and was on the selection committee. The Ambassadorial Scholarships are awarded yearly to some 1,000 students around the globe to study in another country for three months to two years.
"Developments around the world challenge us to re-think our role in the international community," said Hilton. "We students who will be the next generation of leaders need to identify our place in this increasingly-complex global picture," she said. "I hope to use the Ambassadorial Scholarship to pursue a degree in international relations in order to understand, serve and act as a liaison between Rotary International and people oppressed by culture and tradition, governments, natural disasters and their ill fate of being born into a poor family in a poor country."
Hilton's exemplary undergraduate career at Muskingum College includes majors in international business and international affairs and minors in mathematics and Spanish. She is a Presidential Scholar at Muskingum, one of the college's highest scholastic honors.
Hilton is from Deharadun, India and is a 2003 graduate of the Welham Girls' School in Dehradun.
During Fall 2006, Hilton was a John Glenn Fellow and held an internship with the Federal Judicial Center in Washington D.C. The internship was part of the Washington D.C. Academic Internship Program of the John Glenn Institute at The Ohio State University. As a fellow, she authored a policy paper, "International Law and U.S. Domestic Law: A Marriage That Failed." Senator Glenn is an alumnus and trustee of Muskingum College.
In 2005, Hilton's interest in international affairs also led her to intern with the United Nations' International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, The Hague, The Netherlands, where she worked in the General Service section. She was one of only a handful of undergraduates to intern there, as most interns are graduate students.
Additionally, she served as a Muskingum College Summer Fellow in 2004, working on research and administration for a project on poverty and education.
Her extra-curricular activities include service as president of the Model United Nations Club at Muskingum, and as a member of the World Vision Organization.

On April 30, 1562, an expedition under the command of French explorer Jean Ribault (1520-1565) arrived at the mouth of the St. Johns River north of present-day Jacksonville. Ribault and his Huguenot (Protestant Calvinists) companions hoped to find religious freedom and to start a prosperous colony in the Americas.
After briefly exploring the St. Johns, which Ribault dubbed the River May, and erecting a stone pillar to mark their arrival, the French contingent continued northward along the Atlantic coast. They eventually landed near Royal Sound in what is now South Carolina and constructed a fortification named Charlesfort, in honor of the French monarch King Charles IX.
Ribault returned to Europe from Charlesfort, trying to garner support for further Protestant colonization in La Florida. He hoped to gain the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I of England, but was confined to the Tower of London under suspicion of espionage instead.
The French abandoned Charlesfort about one year after its founding, but returned to La Florida two years later in 1564 and established the short-lived settlement of Fort Caroline. An attack on Fort Caroline by the Spanish in September 1565 ended France's efforts to colonize Florida.

Open May 15 - Sept. 30
8:00am - 6:00pm
We offer visitors a unique opportunity to experience first-hand our rich Western heritage. Voted "Best Tourist Attraction and Historical Site" by True West Magazine. Old Trail Town is one of Cody, Wyoming's most popular family friendly sites and is conveniently located on the road to Yellowstone National Park.
On this site in 1895, Western scout and showman William F. ("Buffalo Bill") Cody laid out the original townsite of Cody, Wyoming, which was named in his honor.
Share your experience with us!
Today Old Trail Town preserves the lifestyle and history of the Frontier West through a rare collection of authentic structures and furnishings. From remote locations in Wyoming and Montana these historic buildings were carefully disassembled, moved and reassembled here at Old Trail Town by Western historian Bob Edgar and friends.
Located here are thousands of historic artifacts from the Old West and grave sites of several notable Western figures. Among them is the grave of mountain man John Johnston, who was portrayed by the actor Robert Redford in the 1972 motion picture "Jeremiah Johnson."
Here, too, are original cabins used by Old West outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and a Wyoming saloon frequented by Cassidy's "Hole-in-the-Wall Gang." On this site is the log cabin home of "Curley" a Crow Indian army scout who helped guide Lt Col. George A. Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry to the battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876. Old Trail Town exists today as a memorial to the uniquely American experience known throughout the world as "the Old West."

Over the past decade, New York's subway and bus system has shown phenomenal success in attracting increased patronage and helping spur the revitalization of the city. But that success may be imperiled by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's coming financial woes. Although the MTA is projecting a budget surplus for 2007 due to booming revenues from taxes on real estate transactions, its long-term financial situation is dim. A $1.3 billion budget deficit is projected for 2008, growing to $2.2 billion in 2010.
The deficits are driven by ballooning costs of debt service and health insurance. Together with other expenditure increases, these more than offset growth in fare revenues from higher ridership and the fare increases of 2003 and 2005. The agency's debt is projected to increase from $13 billion in 2000 to $32 billion in 2010. These increases stem from borrowing approved over the past half dozen years to finance maintenance and capital improvements to the system.
No one is in a hurry to head off rising budget deficits as long as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority shows a surplus, however transitory it may prove to be. MTA Chairman Peter Kalikow announced in September his opposition to $20 million in cuts to bus and subway service that had been planned when forecasts showed budget deficits next year. Likewise, Kalikow said that a planned 5 percent fare increase in 2007 would not be necessary, again citing the rosier-than-expected 2007 budget picture.
In fact, recent Metropolitan Transportation Authority decisions on development of Manhattan's West Side risks further exacerbating future deficits. In September, the MTA Board approved a deal with the city to develop the railyards just west of Penn Station in Manhattan and extend the #7 train to 34 St. and 11 Avenue. The city agreed to pay up to $2.1 billion to build the extension and also to pay for any unplanned costs for land acquisition and design changes. The agreement does not specify who would pay for other cost overruns, however. If the MTA is forced to pick up the tab, its financial difficulties would only deepen.
Many observers think that the agency is taking on a considerable risk. The State Comptroller, Alan Hevesi, released a report pointing out that the MTA's East Side Access project is over budget by $2.4 billion and the Fulton Street Transit project is already over budget by $94 million. Both are also behind schedule, with delays contributing to higher costs.
Nevertheless, Kalikow commented that, "I was comfortable leaving the cost overrun question to another day."
It's not that the MTA's critics are any more eager to impose service cuts or fare hikes. Although Hevesi's report clearly outlines the MTA's long-term budget problems, Hevesi argued at the same time for postponing the 2007 fare and toll increases "for as long as possible" until the MTA develops a long-term strategy to close the budget gaps.
The MTA's financial problems are thus going to arrive on the desk of the next governor. Transit advocates are hoping that, following Hevesi's thinking, the new governor will take a comprehensive approach that would achieve a balanced solution to the MTA's financial needs. Gene Russianoff, staff lawyer for the Straphangers Campaign, was quoted in the Times as saying, "All the big issues are now squarely in the lap of the new governor: fare hike, service cuts, more state aid, MTA efficiencies. … The whole menu of options should be there as a whole and enacted as a package."
Will the new governor adopt a comprehensive plan, even if that means supporting fare and toll hikes and tax increases? Or will he try to muddle through as his predecessor did, whatever the longer-term difficulties that would create? Stay tuned.
Bruce Schaller, who has been in charge of the transportation topic page since its inception in 1999, is head of Schaller Consulting, which provides research and analysis about transportation. He is also a Visiting Scholar at the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management at New York University.Â

The Air Ambulance Northern Ireland is now recruiting for Area Fundraising Managers across Northern Ireland - after deployment of the service has exceeded expectations in the first two months since its launch.
Chief Executive, Patrick Minne, said: "We had anticipated that the service would eventually respond to one to two trauma calls per day, but this has already proved to be the case in the early days of embedding the service.
"This is largely due to the effectiveness of tasking protocols and decision making between the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) Airdesk, NIAS Ambulance Control or Ground paramedics who may have arrived on scene and requested the service based on the needs of the patient."
The service has been deployed 75 times across Northern Ireland since its first mission on 22 July 2017. More than two thirds of calls have been to road traffic collisions. Injuries at home account for 15% of all calls while injuries at work and on the farm count for 12%. Sporting injuries make up 7% of call-outs.
Kerry Anderson, the charity's Head of Fundraising, said: "We're delighted the service has got up to speed so quickly, and with running costs at around £5,500 a day it highlights the need for the charity to step up its fundraising capacity. That's why we're pleased to be recruiting four Area Fundraising Managers across Northern Ireland.
"The managers will be based in four localities with a local regional focus. The role is all about developing local connections and relationships whilst sharing the impact of Air Ambulance NI. Being part of Air Ambulance NI is thoroughly rewarding and I encourage anyone interested in the positions to visit airambulanceni.org or give us a call on 028 9262 2677."
The four posts will be based in Derry-Londonderry and Causeway Coast and Glens; Fermanagh, Omagh and Mid Ulster; Antrim & Newtownabbey and Belfast council areas; and Armagh and Down.

However, whilst putting this post up England have been knocked out (it's a fast changing world...) so these are now England memorial cupcakes.
It's a bumper time for sports fans, what with Wimbledon also in full flow, so I wanted to pick a cupcake that couldn't be any more English even if it donned a pearly hat and coat and started going on about tea and crumpets. What could be more English than strawberries and clotted cream?
The yoghurt makes this a mega-light sponge and it domes nicely making a lid to keep all the strawberry and creamy goodness in situ! The almond adds moisture and a little more interest than a normal plain sponge. A nice dollop of jam goes into the cupcake first:
Then it's topped with clotted cream – surely England's greatest gift to the world?
Far more pleasing than football!
Now I must digress slightly….there is a tradition in my family – OK, so it only started with the last World Cup but all traditions have to start somewhere – that I make World Cup footballer biscuits. Unfortunately I didn't have my blog last time round and hadn't acquired the somewhat obsessive habit of photographing everything I made, but let me tell you that my Ronaldinho biscuit was so lifelike it was frightening. I think you can tell from the artistry of this years' haul what a talent I have for this…they could practically be team photos. Here is a selection of my artistry along with little Vuvuzela Bouffle – my lovely little knitted dog, purchased during the world cup:
I used my favourite biscuit recipe but used almond extract instead of vanilla, just for a change– the recipe can be found here.
Now I am by no means a football fan – in fact, rather the opposite but the World Cup is hard to ignore. What struck me this year is the absence of standout personalities or looks. I've picked a selection of players:
Here's Ashley Cole with his mobile phone sending a last minute text before kick off. I wonder what he's sending?
Thierry Henry with a ball…on his hand…surely he should be scoring with his feet? (this one is me showing solidarity with all my Irish readers).
Wayne Rooney seems to have been Mr Angry in this contest – you can sense the rage coming off him in this snap:
Peter Crouch suffered quite a severe injury in transit – his head fell off. Mind you, for most footballers that wouldn't be as serious as a leg injury!
Poor Didier Drogba didn't let a broken arm stop him from joining in the football (and biscuit) fun:
Finally a tribute to a man who, not only has the best name in the World Cup, but possibly the world – step forward Chile's Waldo Ponce:
For the sponge:
175g golden caster sugar
140g self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
100g ground almonds
150ml natural yoghurt
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
175g unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
Strawberry jam
Clotted cream
Preheat the oven to 190˚C/fan 170˚C/ 375˚F/gas mark 5.
Line a cupcake pan with paper cases – these are big cupcakes so avoid using shallow cases.
Place the sugar, flour, baking powder and ground almonds in a bowl and stir together.
In a separate bowl beat together the yoghurt, eggs and vanilla – don't whisk them too much, just so they're nicely combined.
Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture and pour in the yoghurt mix and melted butter.
Fold in with a metal spoon until just combined – don't overwork it.
Spoon into the cases; they will be quite full.
Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes of until a skewer inserted into the cakes comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack.
At this stage the cakes will keep for 3 days in an airtight container.
Either cut the tops off the cupcakes or use a corer to remove some of the middle of the sponge – it depends purely on which look you prefer.
Spoon a generous helping of jam onto the sponge followed by a generous spoonful of clotted cream.
Top with a strawberry and replace the sponge lid (if you haven't already eaten it – cook's perks!)
Once made up the cakes must be kept refrigerated.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.

SHREVEPORT, La. -- South Carolina junior running back Mike Davis is leaving the Gamecocks for the NFL draft after the Duck Commander Independence Bowl.
Davis announced his intentions to give up his final season Thursday after the Gamecocks' practice for the Saturday game against Miami.
Davis ran for 1,183 yards last year. He has 927 yards so far this year and can join Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers as the only players in South Carolina history with multiple 1,000-yard seasons.
Davis said he wanted to finish his college career with a strong game against the Hurricanes. He said he enjoyed his time at South Carolina and will miss his teammates when he leaves school to train for the next spring's draft.

Guest post by Andy Stoll: After hearing the question 'Is Startup Weekend for me?' over and over, he wanted to share his perspective. Andy is a serial social entrepreneur and co-founder of Seed Here Studio, Vault Coworking and Collaboration Space and The Iowa Startup Accelerator. He is also a global facilitator for Startup Weekend.
I encourage a lot of people to attend Startup Weekend, especially those who are curious about entrepreneurship and startups. One of the most common reasons people tell me why they CANNOT attend Startup Weekend comes in a few variations, but is essentially getting at the same thing. Their doubts usually manifest themselves in reasons such as, "Well, I'm not an entrepreneur or a business person," or "I don't know how to code, design or build websites," or "I don't really have any ideas to pitch."
The real concerns that they are often getting at are: 1) I am a novice, is it still really for me? 2) If I go and don't know anything (or anybody), will everyone know that (and call me out as a fraud!)?
A big secret that entrepreneurs don't often tell you is that every single entrepreneur, business owner and startup founder has, at some point, felt that they were not qualified, not prepared, and not ready to do what they wanted to do (and worried they'd be called out at any time as a "fraud").
This struggle defines the journey of every entrepreneur: overcoming anxiety, charting a course through haunting feelings of uncertainty, persevering in the face of self-doubt. You can't learn these skills from a book or a class, you can only learn them by facing the fears.
All entrepreneurs eventually learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable (at least most of the time), and for those that do, the rewards are immense: growth, fulfillment, self-actualization, the satisfaction that comes from building a team and the joy of turning something in your head into a real thing…
The journey is long, but it is, in the end, the reward.
Startup Weekend is designed to be a first step on that journey, the first chance to dip your toe into the water of entrepreneurship and making your ideas happen. It is designed for EVERYONE to attend. I've seen people as young as 11 participate and as old as 84. I've seen grill cooks, accountants, corporate CEO's, skateboarders, veterans, moms, retired school teachers, kids and ministers participate.
Maybe you don't code, design, or "have ideas" (though secretly everyone has ideas), that's ok because there will be others there that do. Everyone has a skill that they will contribute to a team, whether its writing, leading, interviewing, cheerleading, pats on the back, drawing, researching or a plethora of other things needed for each team to succeed—everyone and anyone has something to contribute to a Startup Weekend team (and often times at Startup Weekend you'll discover skills you never realized you had!).
Startup Weekend is designed to simulate the entrepreneurial journey in an incredibly condensed 54-hour period. It is, in my view, the single best way to try entrepreneurship with essentially no risk, to go down the path and see what it feels like. Feels is the operative word.
If you have doubts about attending, you're nervous and worried that you are "not ready," maybe you have butterflies in your stomach. That's the first sign you are on the right path.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Hope to see you at Startup Weekend!

Regardless of what the actual "truth" is, aren't we better served if all deaths related to bees are attributed to AHB? If the general population ever thought, outside allergic reactions, that EHB could killin viscious attacks, we would have a collective nightmare on our hands. As more beeks invade suburbia, and meet more frequent government resistance, we could be zoned out of existance. Three additional municipalities in NJ have banned beekeeping this year and more would follow if EHB could kill akin to AHB. To the general population, there would be no distinction between the two bee types.
You are correct, but except for the general public, who don't know squat about either of the bees,when the "media" gets through with it.to them a bee is a bee is a bee. :roll:doak
#3 The media could care less what kind of bees it is, doesn't have to be "honey bees" for them, "the Media" to make a big thing out of it and say it was honey bees. AHB or not.Had did I get involved in this one any how. :) :roll:doak
I cannot go that route.Just because a colony if feral doesn't have a thing to do with whether it is AHB or not.There are still a lot of feral bees out there that have not came into contact with the AHB.Every Bee Keeper cannot recover every swarm that leaves his/her bee yard.After a couple years in the wild the gentleness is gone.Carnelian is one of the worst when they cross out with Italian.You would think you had AHB. Been there, done that.And (had) them tested. 99.99 percent, not AHB. is what they tested.They chased me for two or three hours for several hundred yards and took a week for them to settle down. They were re queened with a new prolific Italian Queen.All I have now is survivors from feral swarms. With no Queen over 2 years old. :)doak

XCOM has a nice little surprise for those willing to go without achievements for the game: superhero "cheat" characters who, in addition to being maxxed out killing machines, are also famous video game developers.
Both Civilization creator Sid Meier and BioShock frontman Ken Levine are available, and accessible in about the simplest way possible: just go to your squad screen and change a soldier's name to... Sid Meier or Ken Levine. It's that easy. You can see the "cheat" in action in the video above.
This obviously works just fine on the PC version, but I'm not too sure about the console editions. There are also two more "heroes" available who aren't famous developers, one comics writer Joe Kelly, the other being Let's Play star Otto Zander.

Mark to Market Accounting is perfectly fine when there is a market place to instantly liquidate the asset at market value such as NYSE or NASDAQ. In real estate, it takes a minimum of 60 days to sell a house if not 6 months. In commercial real estate, I have seen owners take 2-3 years to sell an asset. Also, just because the asset value is less doesnt mean the loan will not be paid in full. If there is a 20% reduction in value then loans should be written down, but a borrower may make up the difference by selling other assets to avoid the tainted record of a foreclosure. Until the loan is due on real estate assets, no one knows what will happen to the loan. Marking it down prior to loans term is and has proven disastrous to the credit markets. Trouble now is if it lifted, what do you do now with Lehman and others who already went bankrupt? In my opinion, those that already went BK, would have eventually. Mark to Market forced it to happen much sooner creating the fear that has driven our economy off a cliff.

Zog's Tirana
Today Tirana feels like a boomtown. New blocks are blossoming across the city and over the last few years, under the stewardship of Mayor Edi Rama, old blocks have been brightened up with colourful designs, while in the centre illegal kiosks and buildings have been swept away. Although Albania declared its independence in 1912, it was only in 1920 that Zog, the man who would become king, declared it, first, the country's provisional capital and then its permanent one in 1925. At that point Zog engaged a team of Italian architects headed by an urban planner named Armando Brasini. These descriptions of the making of Tirana come from Jason Tomes' biography of King Zog in which he writes that the first electric lighting appeared in the Albanian capital only in 1927 and piped water and sewerage just a decade later. Then as now the city was dominated by the great, central space of Skanderbeg Square:
Cypress trees and minarets retained their charm, and the eighteenth century Mosque of Ethem Bey, brightly frescoed with fruit and flowers, survived the demolitions to give a touch of architectural distinction to the dusty expanse of Skanderbeg Square. For six days a week, this much enlarged market place was a gaping hole in the heart of the city. It came to life only on Thursdays when buffalo wagons, pack trains, and women brought firewood and produce down from the hills. Not only did the women carry huge bundles on their backs, they also worked handheld spinning wheels as they walked. Their male protector was now more likely to bear a stick than a gun when in town. He did the buying and entertained onlookers with the ritual ferocious barter.
North and west of Skanderbeg Square two boulevards were built: Boulevard Zog and Boulevard Mussolini. The former, re-named during the Communist period, is now known once again by this title.
Today, everyone knows the ministry buildings beside the statue of Skanderbeg, where the statue of Stalin once stood. They were Italian built and completed in 1931:
The eight three-storey blocks of white stone and redbrick dwarfed the little parliament building on the edge of the square. Decorated with mustard-coloured facings and a Skanderbeg helmet above each entrance, they were a remarkable improvement on scattered ex-Turkish offices with smashed windows, broken locks and infamous latrines.

WASHINGTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency has agreed to have an outside expert take a look at Erie County's claim that it should not have to pay back $48.5 million in federal aid it received after the surprise snowstorm of October 2006.
W. Craig Fugate, the FEMA administrator, announced that development Wednesday in a meeting with Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz.
"Getting an independent specialist to look at this is a good thing because we don't think Erie County did anything wrong here" and thus should not have to pay back the money, Schumer said after the meeting.
Poloncarz was optimistic after the meeting as well.
"I'm hopeful that very soon this will end so that we can get on to more important things in county government," Poloncarz said.
Fugate, Schumer and Poloncarz met for about 25 minutes in the senator's office to discuss the results of a Department of Homeland Security Inspector General's audit that said Erie County should have to repay the $48.5 million.
The inspector general initially issued that audit in January, saying Erie County improperly awarded repair work after the October storm to local companies, without wider bidding.
When the county cited federal law that allowed the work to be done locally, the inspector general revised the audit to say the county had not sought to hire minority- and women-owned businesses during the cleanup.
And while no one from the inspector general's office was at Wednesday's meeting, both Schumer and Poloncarz cited the shifting arguments of the audit as a good reason for the agency to reject its findings.
"FEMA approved all the reimbursements" at the time of the storm, Schumer noted. "To come back seven years later and try to get the money back seems totally unfair."
Poloncarz agreed, saying that Erie County appeared to be caught in the middle of a dispute between FEMA and the inspector general.
"They had an ax to grind against FEMA, but unfortunately Erie County was the one they were going to take it out against," Poloncarz said.
Doing so could be very costly to Erie County in more ways than one. Repaying the money would wipe out two-thirds of the county's fund balance, and credit rating agencies know that, Poloncarz said, meaning the squabble could affect the county's future ability to borrow at a low interest rate.
FEMA originally had 90 days to respond to the inspector general's revised audit, which came out in early April. But Fugate said in the meeting that the agency would need an extra 30 days to respond.
That means Erie County should know by August whether it will be forced to repay the money.

Last week, an industry consortium in which Adobe is a founder made some significant announcements. I wanted to help readers of this blog parse the information that was shared and also provide the Adobe/Flash/Flash Access perspective.
The group is known as DECE or Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem, and I've written about it before. As of this week, we've announced a much more user-friendly brand, UltraViolet. From a purely personal perspective, I have to say that this brand is growing on me — the geek in me likes the implied "beyond blue" (read Blu-Ray). There's even a website, www.uvvu.com and an associated logo.
You may be asking yourself: So… what does this really mean to me? I think the biggest winner here is the consumer. The model behind UltraViolet, and its main reason for existence, is to create a more seamless experience for purchasing/enjoying premium digital content. In the UVVU universe, a user can buy devices from different retailers and have it play on different devices.
This seems like a pretty obvious thing, but today's electronic content distribution ecosystem based on silos where a device is "captive" to a given content service does not reflect this. Imagine if you needed a stack of different DVD/BluRay players for content from different studios that you buy from different retailers. That would be crazy, right? Well, that's the status quo today for electronic content distribution, which UltraViolet hopes to overcome.
What's in it for the close to 60 member companies from different industries participating in DECE/UVVU? Our shared vision is to create a much bigger pie for electronic content distribution (which today only represents a small percentage of all film/video content sold) by removing some of these artificial barriers. By creating the basic infrastructure, UltraViolet also creates opportunities for innovation in business models by everyone who wants to participate. (You don't need to be a DECE member in order to offer UltraViolet products or services.)
Is this a done deal? My opinion is that it is still very early days for electronic content distribution in general, and UltraViolet in particular. I'm convinced that in the next several years we will see significant innovation in the content distribution space. In times of significant churn in business models, key players, technologies and consumer expectations, such as the one we live in right now, it is hard to predict what will become the new normal. I believe in the vision of UVVU, now we need to see some actual market adoption and see how well everyone executes to deliver on the vision.
From Adobe's perspective, we see DECE/UltraViolet as highly complementary to our efforts to help drive rich user experiences around content. For instance, the Open Screen Project is an Adobe-led initiative with close to 80 members (many of them also participating in DECE) working together to help establish a consistent execution runtime across a wide range of devices.
More specifically, DECE's adoption of Flash Access as an approved content protection solution means that UltraViolet content will be able to flow to Flash-enabled PCs and other devices. Flash Access 2.0 shipped in May of this year, and is supported in Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.0, which shipped in June. Conversely, the ability for people to create interactive experiences around UltraViolet content using the #1 platform for video on the Web means that DECE gets very broad reach right from the start. Everyone wins, especially consumers who will soon be able to purchase premium video without having to worry about which device it will play on. Well, mostly, as some device manufacturers may have their own reasons to not play in this ecosystem.

Prominent in late August and early Septembers news was the case of plague in a child from Pagosa Springs.
Plague is considered sporadic in the Southwest, with the United States averaging fewer than a dozen occurrences annually. It was also reported that the Pagosa girls illness was the first diagnosed in Colorado since 2006.
From the Latin, plaga, plague meant infection or pestilence. A modern medical dictionary elaborates: Any disease of wide prevalence or of excessive mortality.
In the last, small, U.S. outbreak of (pneumonic) plague in 1919, decades before antibiotics, 12 of 13 afflicted died, including two doctors and a nurse high mortality for sure.
Pneumonic plague, striking the lungs, is now fortunately rare and occurs person to person by cough and infectious aerosols. Pneumonic plague is the black death that so decimated Europe in the mid-14th century 1348 to 1352 the worst of a number of plagues recorded. Jews became the scapegoats, and even the benignity of the deity was questioned.
The form of plague now with us is bubonic (or glandular) plague. The causative bacterium infects many species of rodents: in the U.S., commonly ground squirrels, rock squirrels, wood rats and prairie dogs. Fleas transmit the infection from rodents with bites to humans and to felines and canines, also. Fleas on dead rodents look for new homes.
A bubo is an infected (with the plague bacterium), swollen, painful lymph node. Lymph nodes are found in the groin (femoral), and neck (cervical) areas of the body. In mononucleosis, all three areas may be swollen and sore, while, with a bad upper-respiratory infection or sore throat, those in the upper neck are affected. Lymph nodes are normally about the shape and size of a lima bean, but a bubo, filled and swollen with pus, may grow to three inches in size. Seventy percent of buboes are found in the groin, as in the girl from Pagosa Springs. Most flea bites Ive seen are top-of-the-socks.
Plague symptoms develop rapidly after the bite anywhere from two to seven days. Fever and shaking chills are usually followed by a bubo in one to three days. Fifty percent of patients have gastro-intestinal symptoms abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Multi-organ system and blood-clotting failure precede death in days to a week.
I believe most physicians in the Four Corners, especially in ERs, are aware of plague. Certainly the Denver physicians, to whom the Pagosa Springs case was flown, had their eyes wide open. Promptly administered antibiotics were undoubtedly life-saving.
A similar, sick patient arrived in my ER with a swollen, tender lump in the groin the appearance of an infected lymph node, a bubo, and there was a history of a dead prairie dog in the yard. An ultrasound demonstrated a fluid-filled mass; a needle netted pus-like fluid, sent to the lab. A trio of other doctors concurred: presumptive plague. Antibiotics were started.
However, improvement was marginal and inconsistent. A CT scan demonstrated continuity of the mass with the abdomen not a bubo but a femoral hernia. Graciously, a surgeon administered the cure.

But before I can talk about going to Charleston in September, I have to tell you about going to Charleston in April. It came about through pure Facebook-style serendipity: a reader, Katrina Murphy, reached out to say how much she'd loved I Was the Jukebox. Ever in search of new routes to Mississippi, I offered to set up a Carolinas-Georgia trek and come to Charleston, if she was game to set up a reading. She did that and then some--working with W. W. Norton to get stock, arranging a newspaper feature, and booking the majestic setting of the Circular Congregational Church, built in 1681.
In a moment of bravado, my parents drove down to make a weekend getaway out of it. The three of us prowled the old graveyard before the reading, headstone by headstone. We stepped into the church and I gasped. It was gorgeous. As I later admitted, there were a handful of poems--"Drunk," "In the Deep"--I dropped from my set list on the spot, fearful of blasphemy.
Part of the drive down was talking: his work in Hawai'i, my book touring, what next. Part of the drive was spent on the conversation of music: him sharing the new Tom Principato, me sharing the new Paul Simon. And part, of course, was spent on a gratuitous rest stop at South of the Border. Because that's how we roll. Also, they have the biggest real fake-looking shark I have ever seen.
The College of Charleston gave us adjoined rooms at an incredibly reasonable rate, and we snuck in a pre-reading snack at the college deli down the street. We headed to the historic Charleston Library Society.
My first thought, as we walked in: Wow, another amazing space. My second thought: That's a LOT of chairs waiting to be filled. Eeek. I didn't know what to expect on a Friday night. Would it be the same faces from a few months earlier, minus those who would choose a date or a concert over hearing me again?
There was nothing I could do but tuck myself into a chair and make sure I knew what I was reading. I wanted to share a couple of poems from the third collection (or what I hope is a third collection; right now it's just a sheaf of loose paper). One, "Inventory," I found myself editing on the fly. Would it go over? Would this be a sestina-friendly crowd? And magically, as I sat in my chair worrying, people started to pour in. A lot of people.
Turns out the Poetry Society of South Carolina really knows how to kick off a fall reading series. Rarely have I been so lucky in my audience: warm, responsive (they laughed at funny poems! they made that little "mmh" sound at the sad ones!) and yes, they most definitely knew how a sestina worked.
Rosalyn Cowart was local reader who opened, having returned home to Charleston after receiving her MFA at Florida State University. She had fabulous chicken poems; I'm quite sure we'll be hearing more from her.
I opened with "The Emperor's Valentine," happy to take my cue from Rosalyn's animalia theme. First published in the Black Warrior Review as part of my chapbook Bitch and Brew: Sestinas, it opens:
I admit, the monkeys were overkill.
I was thrilled to see Katrina again, and she had worked with Brit (pictured holding the cake above) to set a Sandra-friendly table for the reception: almonds, grapes, vegetables and hummus, right down to crackers with no egg or milk. Though I hadn't read any "Allergy Girl" poems, one woman bought Don't Kill the Birthday Girl for her allergic grandson. We joked about the resoundingly pink cover.
A personal highlight was meeting Marj Wentworth, Poet Laureate of South Carolina. We have Oxford, Mississippi friends in common--poets Dave Shirley and Ann Fisher-Wirth--and over dinner we talked shop. She's so versatile: her next book, co-authored with Juan E. Méndez, is Taking a Stand: The Evolution of Human Rights.
The next morning I taught a workshop on sestinas called "The Gyroscope of Form." I had a class full of ringers--Richard heavily encourages his private students to attend. It was a delight to look at examples from Philip Sidney, Elizabeth Bishop, Miller Williams, and Sonya Huber, tracking the evolution of tone, lineation, and flexility of endwords through the styles of different eras. We talked technical challenges. I shared examples of my strategic process. We drafted sestinas (or at least, the first stanza) using a pool of endwords that included "blue," "cellar," and "hermaphrodite." One participant, Kit, was inspired by the origami poems I'd read the night before to bring in her fancy papers and fold me a shrimp. On the spot. I wanted to say Can I keep all of you?
There are so many wonderful people I haven't even gotten to mention by name--Debbie, Denise, Stefan (who took all the great photos from the reading), Suzette, Mary, Bryan, and on and on. But I must give 1,000 thanks to my hosts, Richard--so sharp and funny--and Katherine Williams (yin to Richard's yang, a scientist with the heart of a poet). I hope all PSSC guests get to experience this. I didn't just feel welcomed; I felt honored. This is the oldest statewide poetry society in the country--they just celebrated a 90th anniversary--and it shows in the vitality and breadth of their programs.
Now, I'm not going to choreograph the rest of my visit, which was where my dad took over. I'll just give you a few glimpses, as we walked the cobblestones he cares so much about, learned about the quirks of the architecture, went to the water (which I had never seen in Charleston!), tasted a half-dones different kinds of olive oil, got a little goofy in an art gallery, and kept company with a very charismatic oyster shucker for an hour.
Later, a little Lowcountry blues (Katrina et al came on board for this part). A few vodka gimlets. An enthusiastic bachelorette party that roped my dad into singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to the bride-to-be.
I love Charleston.
